Nanaimo schools carving unique identities

n the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district, one school is not necessarily like the other. School begins for most students in the district on Tuesday, including the thousands of secondary students who will be attending the district’s six high schools. Each of the secondary schools offers a variety of unique academic, sports, fine arts, trades and other programs that cater to their students’ specific needs and requirements. The programs also assist the schools fill empty seats, many from outside the district, as

BRING THE FAMILY

Tina Bray said she’s not surprised, but is disappointed, that parents from Rutherford Elementary School must fight to try to keep the facility open once again. The school is one of three that staff in the Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district are recommending for closure as part of its updated facilities plan. Rutherford school was also on the chopping block in 2008 before a spirited fight by its parents convinced the school board to keep it open. Bray, co-chairwoman of the Rutherford Open and Thriving group, said a meeting will be held at the school on Sept. 17 to provide parents with information on the issue. She said they will be encouraged to get involved in the upcoming mandatory 60-day public consultation on the recommended closure of the school in an effort to convince trustees of the value and importance of keeping it open. “The school’s parents convinced the board members to make a unanimous vote against closure in 2008, and I don’t see any reason why we can’t do that again,” Bray said. The district’s updated facilities plan, which was passed this week, recommends closure of Rutherford, Woodlands Secondary School and either Woodbank Primary School or North Cedar Intermediate School. The district was also considering the closure of Departure Bay Elementary School, but decided in the updated plan that a study be undertaken during the 2016-17 school year on Departure Bay, Cilaire and Dufferin Crescent schools with recommendations to come from that. Chelsea Slobodan, a member of the SAVE Departure Bay Eco School committee, said she’s pleased that the school is no longer in imminent danger. “We now have the opportunity to spend our time and energy on growing our Eco Academy at the school instead of just trying to keep it open,” she said.

IMMIGRATION

COURT NEWS Compiled by Daily News

Crisis sees sharp spike in refugee sponsorship offers But process is long, complicated and involves a huge community commitment JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

The immigrant welcome centre in Nanaimo has been inundated with offers of assistance since the death of three-year-old Alan Kurdi sharply focused global attention on the plight of refugees. However, local organizations involved with sponsoring refugees say it is anything but a simple task. Despite what may be the best of intentions, a myriad of hurdles still remain when it comes to bringing needy families and individuals into Canada. “What’s interesting about the pictures is, well, there’s been pictures of children clutching parents for how long in the media, and no one has paid much attention to it,” said Hilde Schlosar, executive director of Nanaimo’s Immigrant Welcome Centre. “I’m relieved that people are finally waking up. But it’s been ignored for a long time.” What is little-known about promises to bring in more refugees is that the responsibility often falls to citizens to shoulder the majority of the weight in resettling these newcomers, said Schlosar. She cites the commitment stated in January by the federal government to bring in an additional 10,000 refugees from Syria over the next three years. Only 40 per cent of these refugees would be paid for and arranged by the government. The other 60 per cent would be “put on the backs of the community,” and sponsored by private organizations or refugee sponsor groups, said Schlosar. The Immigrant Welcome Centre hosted a Refugee Sponsorship Forum in Nanaimo in April, aimed at offering education and opportunities to private sponsorship groups who want to assist Syrian refugees.

A variety of groups on the Island are in the midst of the long process of sponsorship. The furthest along is the Comox Valley Refugee Support Committee — a group of 12 individuals working with the Christ the King Parish in the Comox Valley. They have worked and raised funds within the community for more than a year to sponsor a family fleeing their home in northern Syria. The family has been waiting in Algeria for 11 months and is expected to fly to Canada in early October.

“We did a big lobster boil which raised $8,000 in June,” said Val Macdonald, a retired immigrant settlement worker who is a part of the group. “And we Skyped to Algeria, it was 5 o’clock in the morning and there was the family with their two little girls all dressed up. There were over 200 people there watching them in Algeria and we had it projected and everyone just went ‘Aww’ when they saw the two girls. “This community has been very supportive.” Macdonald said she went to purchase the family’s tickets

on Friday but a variety of challenges remain when it comes to getting them settled within the community. The group also sponsored 31 refugees from Kosovo in 1999. Macdonald said she just heard from one of those families who called to say they will also donate what they can. “It made me cry to think of how this has come full circle in 16 years, from refugee to supporting new refugees,” said Macdonald.

Warrant issued for AWOL parolee DAILY NEWS

PAHTAYKEN

A 48-year-old man is wanted Canada-wide for a breach of his parole. Kevin Markus Pahtayken, known as Mark, had been staying at the Salvation Army New Hope Centre in Nanaimo since his release in mid-August, but has not returned to the centre since Aug. 31.

Academies and trades programs help set individual schools apart SCHOOLS, from Page 1 The (province’s) new curriculum calls for more collaborative spaces instead of the old standard classrooms so our new science labs and classrooms also have much more space.”

Dover Bay Dover Bay, the district’s largest secondary school, has a well-established performing arts academy that has drawn many students who want to focus on acting, dancing and musical theatre careers. The academy has helped spawn a number of successful careers, including that of actor Justin Chatwin, who starred in the Hollywood blockbuster War of the Worlds. Principal Robyn Gray said the school’s new “Dover Bay Learning Grades 8/9” program, which began last year, is proving successful as an academic model for its younger grades. She said the program uses a variety of learning strategies to help students develop the ability to lead or to work as contributing members of a team. Gray said the school has also been home to a strong, district-leading eco-club for years that has been involved in numerous environmental initiatives in the community, including conservation and recycling programs, improv-

ing fish habitats in the city’s waterways and helping to clear invasive plant species. “We have a lot to offer our students,” Gray said.

Ladysmith Principal Steve Thompson said his school has no academies because its geographical location in the far south of the school district makes it difficult to draw students from other areas. But he said the school has “very strong” dramatic arts, dance, music and improv programs that work together to develop a major dramatic production every year. Thompson said that while LSS has no unique academic programs, it offers all the required courses and has a long-standing record of academic success, with “high numbers” of its graduates going on to post-secondary educations.Thompson said that, with a large population of aboriginal students, the school has developed strong connections with local First Nations. He said LSS hosts the annual Spuptitul Hul’qumi’num language competition that sees aboriginal students compete from all over the Island. “For the first time, we’re very pleased to have the district’s aboriginal staff setting up their offices at the school this year,” Thompson said.

“We’re also fortunate to have most of our teachers living in Ladysmith so they have developed strong cultural and community connections and are an integral part of the community.”

Nanaimo District NDSS is home to the district’s learning alternatives program and hosts a variety of unique educational initiatives for students.The school is home to the French immersion program for the district’s secondary students, and students who have attended Nanaimo-Ladysmith’s five French immersion elementary schools usually continue their program there. The district’s popular Career Technical Centre, which offers courses ranging from hairdressing to heavy duty mechanics, is also headquartered in NDSS. Principal Geoff Steel said NDSS also hosts the district’s alternative VAST program for students who have had problems in the regular school system, the ABOUT program for First Nations students who left school prematurely and now want to graduate, and an Outreach Wellness program to support students in need. “We also offer a program called Connect ND that is designed to support students who need more enrichment in their classrooms,

or need help adapting in their classes,” Steel said.“As part of Connect ND, we have academic co-ordinators that intervene to help the students directly in the classroom. We also have a lacrosse academy that is new this year.”

Woodlands Woodlands has established itself as a centre for sports in the district because of its hockey, soccer and beach volleyball academies. The school is also home to the “Uniquely Canadian” program for international students. Principal Jill Bailey said the program is designed to draw students from around the world to Woodlands, as well as those who are in the district with parents who are in the country on temporary work permits, and 40 were in the program last year. She said the program concentrates on social and cultural studies, with an emphasis on popular Canadian sports. “We’re a small school with an emphasis on sports and athletics, but we have a wide range of academic programs needed for graduation,” Bailey said. “We also have strong arts and drama programs that are popular. Woodlands is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year and there will be an open house in February.”

John Barsby While it’s not an official academy, John Barsby school hosts a highly successful football program that draws students from inside and outside the district. The school is also concentrating on its skilled trades programs and has recently received $40,000 worth of tools from the B.C. Construction Association for its workshops. Principal Deb Marshall said John Barsby also has an extensive chefs-training program that leads to the popular program at Vancouver Island University, and the school’s drama program has proven successful in provincial competitions in recent years. She said the school’s student support centre is instrumental in helping students with a variety of issues and challenges, whether they be academic, personal or if they just need a hand developing a resume. “We also have a phenomenal and well-used aboriginal educational centre that provides academic, social and cultural supports for our large aboriginal population,” Marshall said. “We’re building our programs in all areas to help to meet the many diverse needs of our students.” Robert.Barron @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4234

» Our View

Clear proper conduct line must be drawn

few days ago, the Daily News urged Nanaimo councillors to put their differences aside and start working together for the good of their community. A perfect place to start would be finding consensus about what to do about the people in the gallery. At the core of the issue is disagreement around the council table on what constitutes improper conduct. As long-term observers, we can attest that the atmosphere at council meetings is the worst we have seen it in several years. It’s not the presence of signs, nor the contrary opinions that is the issue. Council needs to take great pains to encourage dissenting voices to be heard.

What is an issue is when the dissenting voices become the only voices and stop being respectful. The fact of the matter is that some in the audience are stepping over the line by making personal comments about certain councillors or staging grandstanding tricks that have much more to do with drawing attention to themselves than their issues. How many other opinions are being shouted down? How many citizens are being scared away from participating in the democratic process? The Colliery dam discussion may have ignited this situation, but the Colliery dam situation has been resolved. Ask yourselves why the rallies continue.

As journalists, we are all about freedom of speech and giving the public a chance to exercise its voice. As pragmatists we understand that it is difficult to function in a free-for-all; that some policy and procedure is necessary to pave the road to good government. There is a temptation to say that in Nanaimo we are rough and ready and like our politics edgy, with a little beer and salt in the mix. But we can’t forget that institutions falter when they aren’t able to conduct their business with a requisite level of respect. Certainly there isn’t a judge in B.C. that would allow in his or her courtroom what we’ve seen at Nanaimo council meetings. The issue is councillors seem to

want things to operate entirely one way or the other when they should be striving for a happy medium. Mayor Bill McKay needs to call his councillors together and find a consensus as to what is acceptable behaviour in the gallery. Then they have to find a consensus on what to do when the gallery gods cross the line into unacceptable. One of the main reasons decorum has deteriorated to the degree it has is because the mayor does not have the backing of his council on what constitutes a problem and how best to deal with the problems that may occur. McKay has handed his critics a sharp stick which they are gleefully using to poke him again

and again. With a policy in place, a united council would be much better equipped to deal with whatever comes along. Ideally, the policy will come about through council discussion and consensus. It is in each councillor’s best interest to move past the circus council meetings have become. Failing that, a legal opinion defining the authority of the mayor in matters of proper behaviour is the necessary next step. It shouldn’t have to come to that, but the status quo can’t continue. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this editorial to letters@nanaimodailynews.com.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Youth need to make change at the polls To Nanaimo’s youth: While you have been tweeting, texting, and ‘liking’ and ‘not liking’ on Facebook, your future has been shaped by the Harper Conservative government. Regulations that protected the environment (e.g. the Navigable Rivers Act) have been eliminated. Commitments made in the Kyoto Protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have been abandoned. Government surveillance of citizens has been increased through Bill C-51, without provision for oversight. Pro-roguing and omnibus bills have been used to circumvent parliamentary debate of important issues and new policies affecting citizens. And, tax breaks that benefit mainly wealthy households, such as family income-splitting and taxfree savings accounts with higher contribution levels, have been introduced. The list of the Harper government’s attacks on the environment, on our democracy, on social equity and opportunity, and on our health-care system are long. So, if you do not like the direction the Harper Conservatives have been taking the country and your world since they took office in

2006, you need to get out and vote in this federal election. (Statistics Canada reports that voter turnout in the 2011 election for Canadians between the ages of 18 and 24 was only 39 per cent). Real change starts at the polls, not by pitching a tent in Diana Krall Plaza.

Mayor needs to get in line, follow the law

Canada’s whole economy isn’t just oil production

So here we are, the mayor won’t release the city’s legal “opinion” on whether he can be a dictator under Section 133 of the B.C. Community Charter. Mr. McKay sitting on the teeter-totter citing someone could pursue a lawsuit so he’d best keep quiet. Could his fear be because Section 133 of the law must go hand-in-hand with Section 132 (2), whereas a councillor can legally appeal a chair’s ruling? You bet. Cat’s publicly out of the bag. A law professor agrees. And the provincial government theorizes the intent of its law is for the two sections to be used in tandem, but does say the ultimate decision would be made in the courts.

Re: ‘Blaming recession on oil prices only partially valid’ and ‘Party shows arrogance in direction of candidates’, (Your Letters, Daily News, Sept.4) Some peoples biased views are less reflective of political reality than others. Because of an economic slump in the first half of this year, the opposition leaders and some of their media flunkies, none of whom are economists, were screeching “recession.” No practising economist defines recession as two consecutive quarters of negative gross domestic product growth. Even Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz refused to use the word. And if one had listened to Prime

Minister Stephen Harper he would know that other factors besides oil prices were referred to in his discussion of a non-recession, e.g., the slumping Chinese economy and turmoil in Greece and other parts of Europe. If one believes our whole economy is based on oil they may as well put their heads back in the sand. And for those gullible enough to believe that “Stephen Harper is not allowing Conservative candidates in this election to speak to the media, or to participate in debates or questionnaires or even to answer any questions which voters might wish to ask them”, why not try one of candidate Mark MacDonald’s coffee time sessions? They are advertised in the Daily News and I don’t doubt there will be more before election day. Or attend one of the upcoming all candidates meetings.

JUNIOR B

Clippers outscore Capitals 5-3

Bucs unable to stop Storm in ﬁrst game with 7-0 loss

One exhibition game remains with 30 players still left on the Nanaimo roster game in favour of 16-year-old prospect Jacob Walter. But the Clippers responded with five straight goals — all from players new to the team this year. Forwards Chris Dodero had two, while Charley Borek, Lucas Finner and Hoover had the others. Finner also had an assist. For a team that lost the bulk of their depth from last season’s Island Championship roster from the forward group, Vandekamp said he’s enjoyed seeing new recruits produce offence, but that it was expected. “We would hope those guys would be contributing,” he said. “Borek’s played well, he’s got a great shot and he’s finding ways to score goals right now. Dodero, we expected to be a good player and (Chris Smith) is a good skater. Finner scored tonight, too, and there’s a lot of kids that we expected to be good players, and they are.” The Clippers don’t play again at home until Sept. 18, after they open with three straight road games. Tonight’s exhibition game, their last, will see each of the players who didn’t play Friday get into the lineup as fringe players take one more shot at making a case to stay with the team.

SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

he Nanaimo Clippers beat the Cowichan Valley Capitals 5-3 on Friday night at home for their second straight regular season game to move to 2-2 in pre-season play. But in doing so, they made life more difficult for head coach Mike Vandekamp, who still needs to trim his roster down to 22 players, including six 20-yearolds, before their season opens Sept. 12 in Powell River. The Clippers went into Friday’s game with 30 players and will go into tonight’s preseason finale, again against the Capitals in Duncan, with fewer than that — but not a finalized lineup. “For us right now, things are just getting a little bit muddier, really,” Vandekamp said. “We seem to be getting better as the exhibition goes along, and considering we have 30 guys here, everybody seems to be able to contribute, so that makes decisions tough.” New Clippers centre Matt Hoover got his first look at playing in a game situation with the team’s top wingers, 20-year-olds Sheldon Rempal and Devin Brosseau, and didn’t disappoint. He scored the Clippers third goal of the game, assisted by Rempal, in the third period and also came out on top of a scrap at the end of the first after a big hit

by Brosseau. “That’s a potential line, for sure,” Vandekamp said when asked about the trio. “Hoover has been a good player for us so far. He’s a real spirited player and he seems to have a little bit of skill, too. “He’s a nice linemate for those guys, but we’re still looking for

Senior B T-Men winless at Presidents’ Cup

Harris will sign autographs today

The West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association champions were unable to secure a win at the Presidents Cup national championship tournament, finishing in eighth place Thursday. The Nanaimo Senior B Timbermen, who swept their way through the WCSLA playoffs last month for their first league title in 2003, spent the last week in St. Catherine’s. Ont., but were beaten in four straight games.Their final blow came in the game for seventh place, when they lost 15-12 to the Nova Scotia Privateers. Sam Clare, a pick-up player from Ladner, led the T-Men in scoring.

ATHLETICS

Mid-Island seniors bring home hardware

In the first game of a season that has a lot of promise, the Nanaimo Buccaneers were humbled Friday night in a 7-0 road loss at the hands of the defending champion Campbell River Storm. The Bucs, playing their first game under new head coach Dan Lemmon, were outshout 44-24 in the loss after watching the Storm raise their league, provincial and western Canadian championship banner. Alex Orth got the start in net for Nanaimo and stopped 37 Campbell River shots. The Bucs are back in action tonight, still on the road, against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings — the same team that beat them in the first round of last season’s Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League playoffs. The Bucs first home game of the 2015-16 season is on Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Nanaimo Ice Centre, also against Comox. Sports@nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You unintentionally could stumble into an either/or situation. You might find yourself caught in a control game. Walk away while you can. Passions run high when interacting with a loved one, as this interaction is much more fulfilling. Tonight: Full of surprises.. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could find the costs of this weekend to be too much for your taste. You will attempt to gain more control by eliminating an item or an event from your to-do list. Spend time closer to home and invite a friend or two over. Tonight: Allow a spontaneous happening to begin. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your awareness of what needs to happen could change as a result of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caring actions. Your need to follow plans as they were made easily could be tossed to the wind. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to be with a loved one who wants to do something else. Tonight: Share some news. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to be more aware of what someone else wants. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have as much energy as you would like. This person is of the same mind as you, so make today a lazy day at home. Make the most of the lack of demands. Tonight: Not to be found. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Passions runs high no matter which way you turn. Your

magnetism draws others toward you. Your smile will make someone feel special, but recognize how easily others misread you. Your warmth might be interpreted as more. Tonight: Right in the middle of a happening. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension builds because of what you believe someone else expects from you. Perhaps a discussion is in order. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ignore a strong feeling you have about a person whom you frequently encounter. Ask for more of what you want. Tonight: Remain sensitive. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Look beyond someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior and consider what is happening within him or her. This person will be able to hide his or her feelings, but only for so long. Avoid bringing this matter up, as it could backfire. Instead, try to address your own feelings. Tonight: Where there is music. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Recognize that spending some quality one-on-one time with a special someone is important. Disruption and/or some insecurity could throw your plans into chaos. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep covering up your feelings by staying nonreactive to othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; behavior. Tonight: Clear the air. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your friends will remind you of playful children as they get into this holiday weekend. The activities they choose might be more adult, but the glee of being together canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be hidden. Invitations keep coming forth. Which one you accept is up to you. Tonight: Join the fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be instrumental to someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festivities. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind pitching in behind the scenes or barbecuing the chicken. While in the midst of a happening and speaking to others, you will see a loved one in a new light. Clearly, this person misses you. Tonight: Togetherness works. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Whether you can be grounded enough for a conversation seems questionable, especially with someone who is serious-minded. Your playfulness and flirtatiousness is likely to delight a special loved one. Make no commitments; keep it light. Tonight: Full of mischief. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be in a position where you will have a lot to handle. Responsibilities weigh heavily on your shoulders, but try to prevent every moment from being charged with tasks. Lighten up, and you will gain more perspective on what must be done. Tonight: At home. YOUR BIRTHDAY (Sept. 5) This year you often have a lot to smile about. You are about to start a new life and luck cycle. The first year, which you will enter soon, is probably one where your good fortune is at its highest point. Use the positive vibes and planetary interactions to enhance your life. If you are single, you could meet someone who will knock your socks off. You will notice the uniqueness of this person as well as the unusual strength of your feelings. If you are attached, your upbeat attitude draws your significant other closer.

Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox Dear Annie:I have been friends with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rhondaâ&#x20AC;? for decades. She has always been a dear friend, but lately, she seems to have no sympathy for anyone. Either that, or she is so angry with me that she has become disrespectful. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why, and it is having a very negative affect on our relationship. Recently, I was ill. I did not inform Rhonda, nor was I asking for her assistance. She happened to call asking for a ride to a concert and proceeded to ridicule me for being sick. Since I am a physician, she apparently thinks I should avoid all illness. Then she said I must be sick because I am getting old, which I found neither comforting nor helpful, and rather rude. Last week, a dear friend died. Rhonda didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know this person

well, but they did live in a neighboring condo. After the funeral, my husband and I were invited to Rhondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home for dinner. I brought along the rather distinguished obituary and order of service, because I thought Rhonda might be interested. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Upset in Montreal Dear Upset: Dear Upset: We would talk to Rhonda and ask whether she is feeling OK and if she has seen her doctor lately. Any change in personality can be from medical causes. You also can express your concern to her husband and children and ask whether they have seen negative changes in Rhondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior. Otherwise, good friends are honest, while being compassionate. Tell Rhonda, nicely, that you find her remarks surprisingly unkind and disrespectful. Ask whether there is more going on that is causing her stress or unhappiness. She may have issues that are not connected.

he jack of spades was covered by the queen and ace. South played off the top trumps discarding a club from dummy as East parted with the deuce of spades and a diamond. The four of clubs collected a spade from West andthejackfetchedthequeen. East switched to the ten of diamonds for the queen, king and ace and the contract was down one, N-S -100. Suppose that East returns a spade as partner wins and taps declarer with a third one. South continues with a club but West throws a diamond as dummy wins the king. West ruffs the continuation of the ace of clubs, exits with his last spade and scores a late diamond trick to set the game. The 4-1 trump break in combination with the 4-0 club division had doomed the contract. West might have a chosen a fourth best diamond as an opening shot which would have presented South with a tenth trick. East’s action is rather puzzling since he could have leaped to three spades as a weak jump raise. In this scenario, West would certainly have no trouble in selecting a spade lead spade versus the major suit game. A spade contract yields nine tricks on this layout with trump breaking 2-2 and the diamond queen onside.

CUPE Local 401 president Blaine Gurrie confirmed the deal with an email of his own. “We are glad to be able to return to our focus of helping to make Qualicum Beach the great community it is.” “Last night, the Town approved the same recommendations handed down by a provincial mediator and ratified by CUPE Local 401 members last week.

Just before 5 a.m., firefighters from two departments were called out to the restuarant located on the corner of the Trans Canada Highway and Cowichan Way.

De Jonge takes D.B.C. lead as Jason Day starts strong

Seahawks, Jackson agree to one-year contract

DOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTON, Mass. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brendon de Jonge described his opening round Friday at the Deutsche Bank Championship as coming out of nowhere. Jordan Spiethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start â&#x20AC;&#x201D; his third straight round over par â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was becoming far too familiar for him. De Jonge ran off seven birdies in calming conditions at the TPC Boston for a 6-under 65 that gave him a two-shot lead over nine players, including Rickie Fowler, Henrik Stenson and Luke Donald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a tough stretch for me the last couple of months, unfortunately,â&#x20AC;? de Jonge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like my game was OK, but the scoring wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. And then, obviously, everything today sort of clicked.â&#x20AC;? Jason Day, needing a victory to become No. 1 in the world for the first time, reached 5 under until two bogeys over his final five holes. He had a 68 and was right in the mix. Rory McIlroy, back at No. 1 and playing for only the second time since the U.S. Open because of an ankle injury, had a 70. The shocker was Spieth. He was visibly irritated just an hour into his round after two poor irons shots set up bogeys, and his day never got much better. The Masters and U.S. Open champion had eight bogeys in a round of 75, matching his highest start of the year. Coming off a missed cut at The Barclays, he goes into Friday in a tie for 80th. It was the first time since June 2014 that Spieth has had three straight rounds over par.

de JONGE

He left without speaking to reporters. De Jonge played on the Presidents Cup team two years ago, though he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider himself in the mix for the South Korea matches next month, unless he were to win. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one item â&#x20AC;&#x201D; winning on the PGA Tour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that remains on his checklist. This would be an ideal place. The second FedEx Cup playoff event assures the winner a spot in the top five at the season-ending Tour Championship and a clear shot at the $10 million bonus. Of the players at 67, the most intriguing was Donald. A former world No. 1, he first had to make sure he got into the top 125 to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs, and then last week at The Barclays he had to play his way from No. 119 into the top 100 that got into the TPC Boston. Now at No. 87, the next goal for Donald is to crack the top 70 to get to the third playoff event north of Chicago at Conway Farms, his

home course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First things first, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get to Conway, which is obviously a place Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very familiar with, my home course up in Chicago,â&#x20AC;? Donald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So keep playing some solid golf Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get there.â&#x20AC;? Donald said it was tough to make birdies, and those are words rarely spoken on glorious days such as this one at the TPC Boston. A front came through that made temperatures pleasant, though the wind was strong at times in the morning and a few pins were on knobs. Phil Mickelson, in dire need of a big week to bolster any chance of being picked for the Presidents Cup, had a pair of three-putt bogeys and shot 70. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the most challenging Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this golf course play, especially given that the greens were very receptive,â&#x20AC;? Mickelson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I played pretty good golf today. I hit a lot of good shots and I hit a few bad ones, but they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too bad. And it was an OK start.â&#x20AC;? Day looked like he might birdie them all after three holes. Ultimately, he knew that 68 was a decent start. He stuffed his approach on No. 10 to 4 feet. He hit a towering 4-iron to 10 feet for birdie on the par-3 11th. He rolled in a 20-foot birdie on No. 12. And when his birdie putt caught the lip on No. 15, Day flipped his putter into the air in shock. He must have felt he was going to make them all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was making everything I looked at, and then it slowly dried up,â&#x20AC;?

TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Seattle Seahawks and free-agent running back Fred Jackson agreed to terms on a one-year deal Friday, according to a person familiar with the contract talks. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been signed. NFL.com first reported Jackson and the Seahawks had agreed to terms. Jackson, an eight-year veteran became a free agent Monday when the Bills cut the respected team leader and fan favourite. The Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest in Jackson emerged when they learned that backup running back Robert Turbin suffered a significant high-ankle sprain last Saturday in a preseason game against San Diego. Seattle coach Pete Carroll had no update after Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason finale against Oakland on how long Turbin could be out. Jackson travelled to Seattle this week to meet with the Seahawks and went through a physical. The contract is expected to be finalized by the end of the weekend.

Canadian on American death row awaits ruling A judge has reserved his decision on a constitutional challenge of Montana’s execution methods that is likely to have an impact on a Canadian on death row in that state. “The hearing went well and the court did reserve its ruling, but indicated that there would be a decision out shortly,” said lawyer Ron Waterman of the American Civil Liberties Union following a two-day hearing in Helena. Lawyers for two condemned inmates, including Ronald Smith of Red Deer, Alta., argued that the sedative pentobarbital that is called for under Montana’s lethal injection protocols could lead to an “excruciating and terrifying” death.

Gay couples walked out of a Kentucky courthouse with marriage licenses Friday, a day after the county’s defiant clerk was taken to jail for refusing to license same-sex marriages, citing “God’s authority.” William Smith Jr. and James Yates, a couple for nearly a decade, were the first to receive a marriage license in Rowan County, ending a months-long standoff. Unlike the vast majority of officials across the U.S., County Clerk Kim Davis has refused to issue licenses since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in June. The Apostolic Christian had turned away couples again and again, in defiance of a series of federal court orders. But on Friday morning, Davis sat in a county jail, ordered there by a federal judge who found her

Explosion kills known anti-government cleric Two rare explosions went off Friday near a hospital in a province in southern Syria, killing a prominent anti-government cleric and at least seven others, pro-government media and activists said. Sheikh Wahid Balous was one of the strongest opponents of President Bashar Assad among the Druze minority sect that he belonged to. He died in the explosions that went off near the National Hospital in the predominantly Druze stronghold of Sweida. State-run news agency SANA did not mention Balous. It said eight people were killed and 22 others were wounded in the blasts. However, the pro-government Sham FM Radio said two Druse clergymen were among the dead.
