Politicians vote to select contractor for spillway
SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
N
anaimo council has voted 5-3 to select a contractor to build a new spillway at the lower Colliery dam, following a tense, bitter meeting that saw a heavy uniformed RCMP presence. Mayor Bill McKay and the rest of council — except Bill Yoachim, who was absent — gathered at 1 p.m. for a special meeting to decide the vote, after being unable to make quorum to debate the issue Monday. Audience anger was palpable throughout discussion of the project, which has been under scrutiny for almost three years. Deep, longstanding opposition to alterations to the dam, situated in a city park, remains among some members of the public.

Council voted unanimously in July to construct an additional spillway on the dam to bring the structure up to provincial standards, under the threat of fines or enforcement action by the B.C. water comptroller. The contract, issued to Copcan Civil Ltd. following an open request for proposals by the city. The work will see a several metre-wide swath cut through the park to make way for the spillway, which will be incorporated into the existing trail system. The estimated cost for the project is between $2.6 million and $4.8 million, although that cost is open-ended because engineering designs have not been completed due to time constraints. McKay and councillors Diane Brennan, Wendy Pratt and Ian
Thorpe have repeatedly spoken in favour in proceeding with work on the dam to meet provincial regulations, and voted to issue the contract Wednesday. It fell to Coun. Bill Bestwick to cast the deciding vote in favour of awarding the contract, though he stressed his reluctance to do so. He argued the project did not meet council’s goal of addressing safety concerns at the dam “in the least expensive, least invasive manner possible.” Bestwick proposed an amendment that would have provided the city with a review of other possible locations for the spillway to confirm the proposed route is the least costly and invasive. But the amendment was shot down in a 4-4 tie vote, after senior city staff warned that investigat-
ing other routes would require additional digging and site work. “That would take at least four to six weeks,” said Toby Seward, director for social and protective services for the city. The city has until Nov. 15 under a provincial order to substantially complete work on the project. Councillors Jim Kipp, Gord Fuller and Jerry Hong all voted to support the defeated amendment, but withdrew their support from the motion afterwards.

School closures and consolidations are on the table again as trustees in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district voted 6-3 in favour of an updated facilities plan on Wednesday. The plan recommends the closure of Rutherford Elementary School in June 2017, with an additional classroom wing to be added to Frank J. Ney Elementary School. The plan also recommends the closure of the aging Woodlands Secondary school in June 2016, with its students heading to neighbouring schools, including Nanaimo District and Wellington secondary schools. The original plan called for the closure of Woodlands school in 2017 with most of its students going to a new school that would be built on the NDSS site. But staff suggested that the process of receiving approval and funding from the ministry for the new high school would be assisted if the district moved forward to reduce some of the approximately 1,000 empty seats in its secondary system. The original plan also called for the closure of Departure Bay Elementary School, but the new version recommends that the district undertake a study during the 2016-17 school year on Departure Bay, Cilaire and Dufferin Crescent schools with recommendations to come from that. The new plan also calls for either the closure of Woodbank Primary School or North Cedar Intermediate School in June 2016, with the students from one school amalgamated with the other. A decision would be made at a later date on which school would reopen as an elementary school in September 2016. School board chairman Steve Rae said no final decisions have been made on the recommendations, and that a 60-day public consultation process must be held before trustees decide on the plan. “We don’t take school closures lightly,” he said.

Mayor powers could become issue Question of whether or not councillors can overrule chairman’s decision may turn into a hot topic SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Can Nanaimo councillors overrule a mayor’s decision to have someone removed from a council meeting for being disruptive? This may be about to become a hot political issue in the city, after Mayor Bill McKay was challenged when he told audience members at a recent council meeting to lower signs they had brought with them, or leave. McKay has voiced concern with deteriorating decorum at meetings and recently clamped down on residents who have brought signs or props to council meetings. On Monday, he repeatedly told residents in the audience to put down signs they were brandishing, citing section 133 of the Community Charter, which gives the presiding member of a council meeting the ability to expel someone from a meeting who is acting “improperly.” However, Coun. Gord Fuller challenged McKay’s statements and cited section 132 of the charter, which allows a councillor to appeal a decision made on a preserving order or deciding points of order by the person chairing the meeting. McKay denied Fuller’s challenge and says the city has obtained a legal opinion verifying section 132 cannot be used to overrule a decision he makes under section 133 to remove a person from the meeting. McKay says council would have to agree to release the opinion to the public, but stated: “I don’t think that it’s a wise thing to do,” adding it could undermine the city’s position if a lawsuit was launched against it on the issue. Fuller stands by his view and says McKay needs to allow his

decisions to be appealed by the rest of council. Law firms Young Anderson and Stewart McDannold Stuart were contacted for comment on the issue. Both declined, citing ongoing contracts with the city. Two independent lawyers with local government experience also declined comment on the issue. Jim McDavid, a professor at the University of Victoria’s School of Public Administration, sided with Fuller, stating section 132
acts as the “countervail” to challenge the mayor’s authority on rulings. “I don’t see any way in which you can divorce those two sections,” he said. He said a broader issue is the vague language of the charter. “The thing about ‘improper’ behaviour is it’s really in the eyes of the beholder,” he said. Chris Jackson, manager of legislative services for the city, said section 133, as cited by

It said: “The interrelationship of section 133 and 132 is not
explicit; as such only the courts would ultimately determine the interrelationship between these sections. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you.

Regional District of Nanaimo expects to be carbon neutral
Tory candidate not restricted to comment
compared to 308 tonnes the previous year, Midgley said. But Midgley said that “in the big picture,” emissions have remained at stable levels due to new facilities and projects coming online. And this year the RDN will be able to count a new source of emissions reductions: captured gas from its regional landfill in the rural area of Cedar, south of Nanaimo. The RDN received $500,000 from the federal government approximately a decade ago to build the gas capture system, but until this year, the credits for the offset carbon have belonged to the federal government. It’s estimated that the system prevents 25,000 tonnes of gas from escaping into the atmosphere each year. Midgley said he expects the RDN will able to count about 17,500 tonnes of trapped gas
SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS
Composting and improvements to landfill operations are likely to render the Regional District of Nanaimo carbon neutral by the end of this year. That means for every tonne of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere, an equivalent amount was prevented from being emitted. It could even put the regional government in a position to sell carbon credits on the open market, or count the banked credits against future emissions. The latter option is backed by RDN energy and sustainability manager Chris Midgley. According to Midgley, the RDN’s total operations – buildings, vehicles and the like -- in 2014 actually topped levels in 2013. In 2014, total operations at the Regional District produced an estimated 740 tonnes of CO2,

Midgley said provincial regulations are changing in January that will no longer allow local governments to count trapped gas from landfills against their respective CO2 footprints. He said elected officials will have to decide whether to bank the credits or sell them on the open market. The latter approach requires knowledge of the carbon offset market and has not been attempted by the RDN before, he said. “It’s just not necessarily and expertise that we’ve got,” he said. “Do we hedge our bets . . . or do we try to sell them and generate revenue for the RDN?” Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255

Nanaimo-Ladysmith Conservative candidate Mark MacDonald says he has not been restricted from talking to residents or answering reporters’ questions, following national press coverage suggesting candidates have been muzzled. The Toronto Star and the Ottawa Citizen reported that MacDonald and other Conservative candidates were not available for comment or interviews. The Star has also reported that Tory candidates have been told by the party to avoid debates and media during the campaign. Criticism has appeared locally after an email reply from MacDonald’s campaign manager, Glen McPherson, was shared online. It stated, in part: “At this time we will decline all invitations of debates, positions and questionnaires during the election campaign . . . When Mark becomes an elected official you are more than welcome to contact his office, to discuss a variety of issues.” MacDonald said he keeps busy talking to voters. “‘At this time,’ that’s the operative (phrase),” MacDonald said,
quoting the email. “I’ve been going out since January,” said MacDonald, adding he has meetings planned with local groups this week, including three all-candidates meetings, in addition to general door-knocking. “We’re taking most everything,” MacDonald said in reference to requests to his campaign. “I kind of laughed when they said they’re muzzling me, of all people.” MacDonald, former managing editor for the Daily News, runs his own communications firm and is owner of the publishing company that produces the Business Examiner newspapers. MacDonald said was not concerned about reaction to McPherson’s email, since his campaign is focused on meeting individuals on the campaign trail.

Beauty queen is a First Nations role model
A
shley Callingbull believes in breaking stereotypes. Five years ago the Alberta Cree stood in front of a class of Oshawa high school students and noted she was representing aboriginal women in the Miss Universe Canada pageant. Stereotypes, she said, suggested she should be “a failure, a drunk, a drop-out, on welfare.” Instead she was there as an actress, model and motivational speaker. Callingbull, whose married name is Burnham, just shattered another stereotype: that First Nations women cannot win a beauty pageant. On Saturday she was crowned Mrs. Universe. Of course, beauty pageants can seem anti-feminist and
While a beauty pageant might not be the ideal platform, Callingbull’s message is clear: No matter what their background, First Nations girls can build a better future. anachronistic. But Callingbull’s win is garnering nothing but kudos, as it should. Many women commenting online noted they are usually against pageants, but see Callingbull’s win as a victory for all First Nations women. It’s a sign the “world is taking a stand on
diversity and representation,” wrote one. Another said it would even put the tragedy of Canada’s missing aboriginal women on the world stage. Maybe not. But it’s sure to send a message about attitudes toward First Nations women, much as Vanessa Williams changed attitudes towards black women when she became the first African-American to be crowned Miss America back in 1983. Indeed, Callingbull, who appears in Blackstone on APTN, said she was judged in the past for coming from the Enoch reserve near Edmonton and told she shouldn’t expect to place well in competitions. When she gained attention for being the only First Nations
woman in the 2010 Miss Universe Canada pageant she was the target of racist comments, including this: “I wonder if she’s going to drink Lysol for a talent or sign welfare cheques with her toes.” That kind of open racism made her even more determined to showcase her culture. She wore a jingle dress, often worn during pow-wow dances, and sang a traditional song while wearing a buckskin dress. And while some may think beauty pageants are all style over substance, the theme of the Mrs. Universe pageant (“domestic violence and reflection over children”) defied that stereotype. Those are topics Callingbull could relate to as a survivor of sexual and physical abuse. As a child growing up in poverty,
picking up bottles to pay for food, she says she could never have imagined being Mrs. Universe someday. Earlier, as an entrant in the Miss Universe Canada pageant, she noted: “Growing up and dealing with that, I thought this is the perfect platform to share my story. . . to be a success story for 1/8other First Nations girls 3/8.” While a beauty pageant might not be the ideal platform, Callingbull’s message is clear: No matter their background, First Nations girls can build a better future. And they matter.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Council dispute is absurd, disrespectful Dear mayor and council, I’m very concerned for the city of Nanaimo. Hearing that the mayor and councillors cannot get along, are bickering, fighting, yelling, and walking out is absolutely absurd, disgraceful and disrespectful to the people of Nanaimo. I’m appalled to learn what happened on Monday night. When are you going to start becoming leaders in our community and start setting an example for the people, the citizens, the taxpayers, the business community, the youth, and our children who look up to you? This constant rhetoric is disgusting and has to stop. Start acting like professionals for the better good of Nanaimo. Show the people of Nanaimo that we are a good place to live, a great place to work and play and a wonderful place to visit. Jeff Lyle Nanaimo
More would get done with unity on city council I would accept the mayor’s right to quell protests in order to get on with business, if that goal were anywhere in sight.
Of course the chair of any meeting has the responsibility to control the meeting but that is best done with moral authority and a sense of unity. Banging the gavel and asking security to clear the room works better for a judge than for a mayor. In any case, councillors Kipp and Fuller warned the mayor not to try that without the support of council and then backed up their warnings with decisive action. Whatever people think about the five majority councillors and their attitudes, they know how to show unity. Now if we could only get the whole city government to practice more unity we could get more done. Mike Horn Nanaimo
Mayor deserves support for handling bad conduct Mayor Bill McKay deserves support for the way he is trying to handle disorderly conduct in the public gallery at Council meetings. The kind of behaviour that we have witnessed over the past weeks and months would not be tolerated for a moment in the public galleries of our country’s legislatures and Parliament. Nor can it be tolerated at the municipal level of government.
Elected representatives at all levels of government expect to be lobbied, to receive the views of constituents, and to weigh these views against their fiduciary duty to, in this case, the City of Nanaimo; most do not put their names on the ballot to become subjected to intimidation and abuse. So I also want to offer support to those councillors who have shown the courage to resist the bullies who think that their right to sit in the public gallery gives them the right to do whatever they want. To those councillors who think that the behaviour we have witnessed is acceptable, and even to be encouraged, I might suggest that you seem to have forgotten that you have a fiduciary duty to govern our city, not to impose your own opinions or those of noisy and rude constituents. Mike Hunter Nanaimo
Signs at council merely supporting democracy I just watched the debacle of the most recent Nanaimo city council meeting where Mayor Bill McKay ordered the clearing of the public gallery. He quoted a section of the Community Charter by saying that
people were “acting improperly.” By displaying signs? That is a quiet way for the voters to get their message across without disrupting a meeting. It is called democracy. Mayor McKay must be a chameleon. He has taken the Jekyll-andHyde routine to new heights with a complete about-face since he was elected. Thank you to the four councillors who had the fortitude and moral conscience to walk out of the meeting in protest because true democracy is dying in Nanaimo. The Colliery dams issue is important for many reasons and I fully understand why the public is riled. Provincial civil servants are making decisions based on incomplete data and bullying Nanaimo into complying. What community will be next on their agenda?

Harper, Mulcair share views on Canada’s deficit
Province needs more say on language: party leader
MIKE BLANCHFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Stephen Harper and Tom Mulcair found themselves in unfamiliar economic territory Wednesday — sharing the same page on when they think it is acceptable to plunge the country into a deficit. The Conservative and New Democrat leaders, along with their Liberal counterpart Justin Trudeau, still expressed sharp differences on the economic way forward following Statistics Canada’s recession pronouncement a day earlier. The three federal leaders attempted to put a bit more flesh on the bones of their respective economic positions after the agency reported on Tuesday that the economy had contracted for a second straight quarter
HARPER
— the technical definition of a recession. But as they dealt with the fallout from the data, it was Harper and Mulcair who found themselves occupying the same position on an important, related question: when is it OK to run a deficit?
Both leaders are opposed to them, and are promising balanced budgets if elected. But when asked about deficits, separately, on the campaign trail Wednesday, they gave strikingly similar answers. Harper and Mulcair both agreed on the need for stimulus following the Great Recession of 2008-09. “Back in 2008-2009, we faced two circumstances we do not face today, both of them are important,” Harper said in North Bay, Ont., citing the drop in global output and the breakdown in the financial system. “We are nowhere near those kinds of circumstances today,” he added. “I do not believe you would run a deficit on purpose if the economy is actually showing growth. Our economy will grow
this year and that is why we will keep the budget in balance.” Speaking in Kamloops, B.C., Mulcair said: “We might recall back in 2008 when the worst financial crisis since the 1920s hit, it was obvious then that it was such a true head-on hit to the economy that spending was required and that’s what was done.” As for the current situation, Mulcair said: “Right now, we are in a recession that’s been measured according to the definition accepted here, which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth.” Trudeau, meanwhile, said Harper and Mulcair share the same future decision if they have any chance of honouring their balanced budget promises — budget cuts.
The leader of Quebec’s third party says Canada must offer a new deal giving the province more powers over a host of areas including language and immigration. Speaking to reporters today at a caucus retreat, Francois Legault said he’s offering Quebecers a new, modern nationalism that will create a strong Quebec in Canada. His party, The Coalition for Quebec’s Future, is against sovereignty but claims to be staunchly nationalist. Legault said his party will produce by November a detailed proposal including a list of demands seeking for Quebec more control over its affairs. He says the governing Liberals are too passive in their relationship with the federal government and the Parti Quebecois’ goals of independence are not reflective of the wishes of the majority. Legault said his party will offer a clear, middle ground that seeks to keep Quebec in Canada but with additional powers, particularly over immigration and language.
HOMICIDE
Crime scene renovations shock lawyer in Dalhousie murder case was reported missing. Samson’s body has not been found. Tan said the release of the crime scene compromised the ability of the defence to commission an independent report on the alleged events in the case. “It really prejudices the defence in their ability to be able to essentially have a different version of what happened,” Tan said. The case was put over to Sept. 24 to give the defence time to get more disclosure from the Crown. Chris Hansen, a spokeswoman for the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service, said the Crown would not comment on Tan’s allegations. “Nothing of the kind was mentioned in court,” said Hansen. “These allegations are new to us and this is something that we simply will not respond to.” Halifax police spokeswoman Theresa Rath also declined to dis-
cuss specifics, but said police did get court authorization to execute a warrant at the address. “What we are allowed to do is go to that address, gather any evidence available and then our legal obligation is to release that scene back to the property owner,” said Rath. “We are not allowed to turn it over to anyone else.” Rath wouldn’t say how soon police returned the property to its owner because the information is part of a sealed warrant. Sandeson is a varsity track athlete who was about to start classes at Dalhousie’s medical school when he was charged. Samson, a 22-year-old former resident of Amherst, N.S., studied physics at the university. Tan, who described himself as a family friend who had also coached Sandeson, said his client will seek bail and intends to enter a not guilty plea.

‘Love Bug’ actor Dean Jones dies at age 84
Man mauled by grizzly treated for minor injuries
Dean Jones, whose boyish good looks and all-American manner made him Disney’s favourite young actor for such lighthearted films as That Darn Cat! and The Love Bug, died of Parkinson’s disease in Los Angeles on Sept. 1. He was 84. Publicist Richard Hoffman announced Jones’ passing on Wednesday. Jones’ long association with The Walt Disney Co. began after he received an unexpected call from Walt Disney himself, who praised his work on the TV show “Ensign O’Toole,” noting it had “some good closing sequences.” Jones, himself a former Navy man, played the title role in the 1962 sitcom. Jones puzzled over Disney’s remark until it occurred to him that “Ensign O’Toole” preceded Disney’s own Sunday night show on NBC, and he realized Disney probably only watched each episode’s ending.
A Cranbrook man who was mauled by a grizzly bear is being treated for non-life threatening injuries in a Calgary hospital. B.C. conservation officer Joe Caravetta said the bow hunter was looking for elk east of Cranbrook on Tuesday evening when he came across a sow grizzly with two cubs. “At about 50 metres he stood up and made a noise to alert the bear that he was there and the sow at that point charged him, ran right towards him,” Caravetta said. “It knocked him down, it started clawing him, biting him and threw him around. “He was able to get up, and with his bow in hand and his arrow in hand, fight off the grizzly or hit it.” The man has head and neck injuries, Caravetta said. When the sow left the area with its cubs the man walked back to his vehicle and called for help.
Caravetta said conservation officers have closed the area and don’t believe the grizzly was badly injured. He said it appears the bear was protecting its cubs and there are no plans to kill the animal.
KEITH DOUCETTE THE CANADIAN PRESS
HALIFAX — Renovations to an apartment that is the alleged crime scene in a murder case involving two Dalhousie University students were criticized Wednesday by a lawyer who says the work has hampered his ability to defend his client. Outside court, Eugene Tan said he went to William Sandeson’s former apartment on Henry Street in Halifax on Sunday and found the walls had been painted and that parts of the floor and some drywall had been replaced. “I was shocked,” said Tan. “The accusations are extremely serious and one would expect that, given that, that every effort would have been made to somehow preserve the evidence.” Sandeson, 22, was charged with first-degree murder on Aug. 20, four days after Taylor Samson

Clippers earn first win of exhibition play SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
In their third game of the 2015-16 B.C. Hockey League exhibition season, the Nanaimo Clippers picked up their first win Wednesday with a 6-2 defeat of the Victoria Grizzlies at Frank Crane Arena. Down 2-0 in the first period, the Clippers responded to score six unanswered goals to skate away with the win, something head coach Mike Vandekamp was pleased to see. “We found a way to start scoring some goals,” Vandekamp said, “which was nice. It will give some guys some confidence.” Clippers forward prospect Lucas Finner scored their first goal, unassisted in the first period before veteran defenceman Ryan Coghlan stepped into a slapshot in the second to tie the game, 2-2. Sheldon Rempal assisted on the goal. Newcomer Charley Borek gave the Clippers a 3-2 lead late in the middle frame before Devin Brosseau stripped a Grizzly of the puck and snapped home his first
of the preseason for the insurance goal in the third period. Borek later fed Chris Dodero for a goal before Dodero set up Ryan Forbes with another on a two-on-one rush. New Clippers goalie Jonathan Reinhart, who has signed with the team, allowed the two goals before 18-year-old prospect Emilien Boily shut the Grizzlies down after he stepped in midway through the game. “It’s not really a results-based time of the year where the focus isn’t necessarily on the result, it’s more about preparation and evaluation,” Vandekamp said. “But when you don’t win the first two, it is nice to get a result to turn things back around.” The Clippers now have 30 players still looking for spots on the team with two exhibition games to go. They host the Cowichan Valley Capitals Friday night at 7 p.m. in their final exhibition home game. Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243
ust under a month ago, Rob Biernacki travelled down to California for what he saw as the chance of a lifetime to train alongside the top Brazilian jiu-jitsu grapplers in the world. It was a trip that turned out to be much more than that. Biernacki, head instructor of the Island Top Team based in Nanaimo and the only black belt on the central Island, was in San Jose from Aug. 12-20 as part of a training camp for world champion grappler Yuri Simoes ahead of this year’s ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships — Simoes won gold at the event held in Sao Paulo on Aug. 30. But Biernacki originally flew south to the Caio Terra Academy based on the assumption that he would be one of many training partners for Simoes. Turns out he was the main one and ending up grappling with the world champion on numerous occasions. Biernacki says the experience was invaluable and one he will take back to his students in the Harbour City to learn from as well. “He’s literally the best in the world,” said Biernacki on Simoes. “I got there and thought I’d be one of several training, but most days it was just me and Yuri with Caio offering some tips along the way. It was an unbelievable privilege to be rolling alongside two multiple time world champions.” Biernacki admits that most of the time he got his “ass kicked” when facing Simoes, but says the opportunity to learn from the best has benefited him greatly, in what was an invitation-only

training camp. He highlighted Simoes’ technical ability, pace and athleticism as his main attributes and now plans to help his 60 students in Nanaimo improve once more. “The Vancouver Island grappling community hasn’t really developed the way in should have compared to the rest of B.C. and other provinces and is nowhere near what it is in the States. So it’s very easy to rest on your laurels as a big fish in a small pond. There’s a lot of people who want to be good but are not willing to suffer what it takes. I always say to my students that you need to go out and test yourself against the best to see if you’re good and if you’d be able to walk into any room and hang with any grappler in the world. It’s like
being the smartest kid in your high school, well that’s not saying your the smartest kid in the world.” Island Top Team is a club open to anybody and Biernacki believes the exploits of jiu-jitsu help people in their everyday lives, with most of his students being hobbyists. “It’s greatest attribute is that it helps you deal with the stress and challenges you face on a dayto-day basis. That all makes you a better person.” Biernacki will be back in California this November to compete at the No-Gi World Championships to be held in Los Angeles.

CFL
Lions up against new Montreal QB BILL BEACON THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Another game, another new starter for the Montreal Alouettes. Tanner Marsh is expected to start Thursday night when the Alouettes (4-5) host the slumping B.C. Lions (3-5). Montreal won the first meeting of the season 23-13 in Vancouver two weeks ago with rookie Rakeem Cato under centre. Marsh replaced Cato (hip pointer) in Montreal’s 26-23 road win over Hamilton last weekend. Als coach Jim Popp said while Cato was able to practise early in the week, he returned home to Florida to deal with a family emergency and it’s unclear if he’ll be back in time for the game. “When you start a game you go through more emotions because you have the whole game,” said Marsh, who hasn’t started since 2013.
“It’s all on you from the get go.” Montreal is after a third straight win while B.C. has suffered two consecutive losses. Montreal has had a revolving door at quarterback since all-time CFL passing leader Anthony Calvillo suffered a concussion seven games into the 2013 season. Marsh, Josh Neiswander and Troy Smith led the Als to an 8-10 campaign that year. After Calvillo retired, Smith was tabbed as the main man in 2014. But after a 1-7 start, Jonathan Crompton took over and led the team to a 9-9 mark and into the East Division final. But Compton and backup Dan LeFevour were both injured in Montreal’s season opener, resulting in third-string Canadian Brandon Bridge getting into his first CFL game. Cato started the next eight contests, going 4-4.

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Normally, you fly with a new idea. Today, however, you are like a stick in the mud. You might note that some people will be doing double-takes because of this unusual behavior. Understand that good luck follows creative ideas. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Acknowledge differences of opinion. Not everyone will respond as you would like. If you try to coerce someone into your way of thinking, your efforts might backfire. Claim your power, but don’t feel as if you must push hard to get your way. Tonight: In the limelight GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your sense of direction comes out in a discussion. Being more passive might be difficult, but it would be wise. You will see many alternatives, as you understand the different ideas being presented. Don’t hold back if questioned. Focus on a fun project. Tonight: Accept an offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be imaginative in your choices. Don’t allow another party to railroad your ideas. You know what works, and you know what you want. Though it might be nice to listen to others, remember that this is your life and these are your plans. Tonight: Where the action is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Recognize that a boss could be unusually indulgent. Is

there something you need to present to this person? Now is the time. You could be exhausted by everything that is going on around you. Maintain a sense of humor, and you will be fine. Tonight: Be available. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to move forward with a project, yet someone seems to want to discuss it a little more. You could view this as a waste of time, but give this person the courtesy of presenting his or her views without you attacking them. Tonight: Make time for a loved one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Make it a habit to talk with people individually rather than as a group. Your interactions will be enhanced as a result, and you’ll have a better sense of whether you have communicated effectively. Your effectiveness and your people skills can only benefit. Tonight: Be a duo. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others; you have a lot on your plate. Someone will want to assume responsibility and earn a leadership position. Let this person demonstrate his or her abilities, while at the same time releasing yourself from at least one obligation. Tonight: Be optimistic. Accept an offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Evaluate your responsibilities, and decide how much you need to complete. Plan accordingly, but don’t put yourself on a faster track than need be. You need to slow down and schedule a doctor’s appointment. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise,

if possible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in a position where you need to relax more. Open up to new ideas, even though you’d prefer to follow a more traditional route. A little creativity is likely to spice up a lackluster concept. Tonight: Share a treat with a favorite person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to a child or loved one you really care about. Have a long-overdue conversation with this person. Remain thoughtful, but take care of your needs as well. You might need to have a discussion about your bottom line and boundaries. Tonight: Happiest at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Conversations remain active and worthwhile. How you handle a problem could change quickly as the result of a conversation. In fact, you might decide that you don’t have a problem. Let go and start relaxing in the company of another person. Tonight: Meet a pal for dinner. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Sept. 3) This year you have the unique opportunity to be introduced to many new ideas and styles. You also will experience a great amount of luck. You become less rigid and far more open-minded. As a result, you accept others more easily. If you are single, your newfound openness could be very appealing. You will experience a surge of potential loved ones. If you are attached, the two of you will plan on taking a very special trip together.

Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: I work in an office with nine other people. For some reason, my boss likes to share every boring detail of her personal life with us. We smile, listen politely and laugh at her “hilarious� anecdotes. This might be bearable if she showed any interest in our lives, but she doesn’t. Occasionally, with one foot out the door, she will ask, “How are you doing?� but it’s obvious she wants a quick answer at most. If she joins a conversation already in progress, she takes over and seems compelled to top whoever is speaking. She always has a bigger, better, funnier or more dramatic story, at least in her mind. Why does she do this? She is bright, talented and accomplished in many aspects of life. Why the need to be the star? She constantly has to send the message: “My life is exciting, your

life is nothing.� I hope people will read this and ask themselves how much time they spend talking about themselves compared to how much time they spend listening to others. Is there anything we can do to change this? — Arizona Dear Arizona: Your boss, like many outwardly successful people, still harbours deep insecurities. This is why she feels the need to prove that she is the most important and interesting person in the room. And because she is so focused on her own behavior, she has few brain cells left to devote to her staff’s personal lives, nor, frankly, does she need to. Your personal lives are not her business. But she is still your employer and if this is the worst thing she does, we’d put up with it. You are handling it perfectly - you smile, listen politely and laugh when called for. It’s annoying, but harmless. Just try not to roll your eyes. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

West switched to the seven of spades essentially handing declarer the contract. East scored the ace to return another but two heart ruffs in dummy brought home eleven tricks, N-S +400. East had contributed the deuce of hearts at trick one, a play that indicated he held the king of diamonds. If East had wanted a spade shift he would surely have played an unusually high heart. West should, therefore, return a trump and the contract will finish down one with the jack of spades offside. South’s resolve to bid the minor suit game was certainly suggested. The auction marked partner with at most one heart where the contract would be a lock when North displayed four-card club support. There would still be chances opposite three-card club support as was the actual case. The two club response was reasonable even though he was somewhat light in HCP and he was a passed hand. A trump lead gives declarer no chance of success on this layout but would be a double- dummy selection. West had no reason to begin with anything other than the king of hearts.

NEWS IN BRIEF The Canadian Press
Avril Lavgine, Chad Kroeger separate NICK PATCH THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Chavril is kaput. Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger — the couple that many Canadians simply loved to hate — announced their separation on Lavigne’s Instagram account on Wednesday. “Through not only the marriage, but the music as well, we’ve created many unforgettable moments,” Lavigne wrote. “We are still, and forever will be, the best of friends, and will always care deeply for each other.” The pair’s whirlwind romance began in March 2012, when Nickelback frontman Kroeger was enlisted to help with the songwriting on Lavigne’s selftitled fifth record. They began dating in July, became engaged in August, and married the following Canada Day at a grand medieval castle in France. Each already had a knack for provoking strong

reactions. Kroeger’s unstoppable commercial juggernaut, Nickelback, had long been one of the world’s most enthusiastically maligned rock bands. Lavigne had been a divisive presence since she first skated into public view. Together, the backlash was amplified to ear-splitting effect. “(It) was an odd thing when
Chad and Avril hooked up, because it was almost too perfect,” said Roz Weston, reporter on Global’s nightly ET Canada. “They both had a really hardcore fanbase, but they also had people who just viciously disliked them. And the two of them getting together — you almost expected this wormhole to open
up in the Canadian universe. “They were the perfect couple,” he added, “just for all the wrong reasons.” Initially, their seemingly mismatched romance created a maelstrom of publicity and social media commentary. Even industry insiders were gobsmacked by the union. “If you had polled our newsroom and said: ‘Hey, Chad Kroeger just got engaged, who do you think he got engaged to?’ You could ask everybody in our newsroom — the (top) five people wouldn’t have been Avril Lavigne,” said Ben Mulroney, anchor of CTV’s eTalk. “We were just all so caught off guard by it.” The pair was almost defiant in response to the public’s scorn, rarely shying away from opportunities to flaunt their romance — including a memorable Howard Stern interview during which the duo shared intimate details of their sex life.
CRIME
Homeless man sent to prison after stabbing THE CANADIAN PRESS
KAMLOOPS — A homeless man convicted of aggravated assault for stabbing a grocery-store security guard with a used syringe in British Columbia’s central Interior has been sentenced to 31 months in prison. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley wrote in an Aug. 10 decision posted online Wednesday that Jonathan Fernandez, 42, was aware the needle he employed as a weapon was “dirty.” The confrontation took place
at an Extra Foods in Kamloops, where Fernandez stuck a syringe into the hand of a guard who stopped him for alleged shoplifting. “I got you once, I’ll get you again,” court documents quote Fernandez saying as he left the scene. Fernandez had tested positive for Hepatitis C, was homeless and living off a disability pension and suffered from severe heroin and crystal methamphetamine addiction. “It is apparent that the assault with the needle has caused (the
guard) physical symptoms, along with the anxiety and the distress of not knowing whether he had been infected,” said Dley. Dley’s decision cited Fernandez’s lengthy criminal record and “extensive” list of offences, beginning in 1990 when he was convicted of armed robbery. A court-ordered report said Fernandez had a difficult upbringing. He likely suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome, it said, and was exposed to drugs and alcohol — as well as physical and sexual abuse — while a child
moving through the foster-care system. The judgment said Fernandez recognizes he has “demons to face” and accepts responsibility for his crime. “Mr. Fernandez is a wellspoken man,” said Dley. “I accept that he is genuine in his desire to seek treatment both in an institution and after he is released.” Fernandez received credit for about four and a half months he has already served and was ordered to spend one year on probation following his release.
◆ QUEBEC
Two dead in helicopter crash, three more injured Two people were killed and three others injured in a helicopter crash on Quebec’s North Shore on Wednesday. Quebec provincial police confirmed the deaths of a man and a woman, adding three others were transported to hospital with serious injuries. Police spokesman Claude Doiron said the injuries were not considered life threatening. Rescue teams were dispatched to the remote area about 40 kilometres north of Sept-Iles, Que. The craft crashed in a heavily forested area not accessible by road and firefighters and paramedics managed to get to the crash site by helicopter.

Parents feel pinch of supporting adult kids A new poll suggests adult children are draining their parents’ retirement nest eggs. The CIBC survey has found that two-thirds of Canadian parents polled say they’re feeling the financial impact of supporting their adult children. Almost half of them said supporting their adult kids is hampering their ability to save for themselves, while 20 per cent say it has actually delayed their retirement. One in four parents said they spend more than $500 a month to cover their adult kids’ rent, groceries and other bills. The top two expenses are groceries and other household expenses and cellphone bills. The survey of 1,054 randomly selected Canadian parents was conducted two weeks ago. It’s considered accurate within plus or minus three percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
