Update coming for heritage plan City of Nanaimo’s plan to protect important historical features is up for review, starting this month SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

It’s been almost 20 years since the City of Nanaimo drafted a plan to protect some of its most important historical features, but work on an update and review begins this month.

The city is hosting public information sessions starting next week and taking public feedback on what the new plan should include. The last time the city produced a heritage plan was 1998, although elements of the

city’s heritage were discussed in the city’s latest cultural plan document.

The 1998 plan included proposals to establish a city-wide heritage register of buildings and sites and declare downtown Nanaimo a heritage zone, both of which were implemented.

The plan also heralded the introduction of direct grants for rehabilitation and renovation for designated heritage buildings.

As a result, the city has awarded more than $274,000 in heritage

facade grants alone since 2003, which the city says has leveraged $7 million in investment from the private sector.Past comments on the plan have called for tougher requirements on property owners to maintain buildings, the addition of agricultural land to the heritage register and clearer designation of heritage properties.

Coun. Wendy Pratt, a city representative on the culture and heritage commission, said the accomplishments of the old plan

stand out, but said it was time for a revised set of policies.

Pratt said one idea being discussed is better visual representation of the city’s changed landscape, including buildings that have been demolished.

“We do have really rich (history) of historic and heritage buildings,” she said.

She cited the now non-existent Haslam House, a Victorian-era house near Wallace Street and Comox Road. Pratt also said she would like to see more emphasis

on First Nations history in the area, including the development of a cultural centre “where we really celebrate their culture in a really significant way.”

Pratt said such new policies will require investment from the city.

A public open house on the heritage action plan is set for Sept. 15 at the Nanaimo Museum from 4-8 p.m.

CANADA VOTES!

Candidates share their views on Bill C-51

Nuisance bylaw under consideration ROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS

Canada heads to the polls on Oct. 19. During the federal election campaign, the Daily News will offer a series of profiles, issue pieces and more to help readers with their voting decision.

ition, the House and the leader of any party having at least 12 MPs. This means that currently Thomas Mulcair and Justin Trudeau will be part of any process to round out SIRC.” It is a nonpartisan solution.

Prime Minister Harper puts it this way: “Now is not the time for political correctness, inexperienced governance or an ideological unwillingness to act.

Now is the time to face those who threaten us with moral clarity, strength and resolve.”

And, lest we forget: These measures have been introduced to capture criminals and terrorists – and protect the freedom and security of law abiding Canadians.

the importance of free speech and protest in protecting our environment and our democracy.

Bill C-51 could have the effect of criminalizing people for standing up for the environment, their jobs, and social justice causes. While terrorism is a real threat, we do not have to choose between our security and our rights.

Stephen Harper demonstrated disregard for the charter of rights and freedoms when he pushed Bill C-51 through parliament with limited debate and limited input from experts.

Justin Trudeau and the Liberals supported him and voted for Bill C-51. The only recognized party in parliament to say no to Bill C-51 was the NDP, and we have committed to repealing it.

I support the repeal of this Bill, because it fundamentally

Question: “What is your position on Bill C-51?”

Mark MacDonald, Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government has placed the safety and security of Canadians at the top of its list of priorities.

One of the moves the government has made was to introduce Bill C-51 earlier this year to further protect Canadians.

In an article published in the Globe & Mail by Ron Atkey, the first chairman of the Security Intelligence Review Committee (1984-1989) now an instructor of national security at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University, the author wrote about the limitations on the powers of CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) granted in Bill C-51. See: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/ csis-oversight-is-alive-and-well/ article22750488/ Atkey writes that the bill expands judicial control over any wiretap warrants, requiring the prior authorization of a designated Federal Court judge. Further, Atkey notes “the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC) will continue to review and monitor every aspect of CSIS,” and include “consultation with the Leader of the Oppos-

threatens the civil liberties of Canadians and gives new powers to CSIS to disrupt legitimate protest. The bill permits information-sharing between government departments and agencies on an incredibly wide range of purposes, many of which have nothing to do with terrorism. The bill effectively cancels the core protections of the Privacy Act by allowing the kinds of information-sharing that it is intended to prevent. I favour more rigorous oversight related to information sharing, including the re-establishment of the CSIS inspector general, a position eliminated by the Conservatives in 2012; and, stronger privacy protection. Mandatory review requirements and regular reports to Parliament are needed.

Canadians are overwhelmingly opposed to the provisions of Bill C-51 and deserve a government that will ensure their security while protecting their rights and freedoms.

Paul Manly, Green I am unequivocally opposed to Bill C-51. It must be repealed.

The broad definition of what kinds of speech and protests are threats in Bill C-51 could severely chill freedom of expression, because Canadian citizens will fear they may be targeted if they speak up. Your private conversations on the internet could be criminalized.

It will not make us safer, because it has nothing in it that will help prevent radicalization, and in fact, will make it harder for Muslim leaders, teachers and parents to reach out to at-risk youth in their communities.

The Town of Ladysmith is on the verge of implementing a new nuisance abatement bylaw to target properties and activities that cause disturbance.

The bylaw would see town staff work in collaboration with other local agencies such as the RCMP and Ladysmith Fire Rescue to eliminate nuisance behaviours such as shouting, noise, trespassing or littering.

Council will consider the bylaw at its next meeting on Sept. 21.

The town’s corporate officer Sandy Bowden confirmed that the new bylaw would repeal the old process and would be “much more of a consultative approach.”

“When we run into issues, we will now have a system which involves other agencies like the RCMP and the health authorities,” she said. “It’s not that we didn’t have one before but it was kind of hit and miss and wasn’t formalized.”

Bowden says the new bylaw looks to emulate what the town sees as a similar successful system used by the City of Nanaimo. The bylaw would see the town communicate with the RCMP directly, as soon as a nuisance complaint is made – and vice versa.

Once the complaint is received and deemed appropriate, the town’s bylaw officer would inspect the property and involve other agencies as necessary.

Bowden says she only envisions the new bylaw having a positive impact and says the Ladysmith RCMP has already declared its support. The bylaw is not designed to save the town money.

Robotic firm expands into Texas Nanaimo-based Inuktun Services Ltd. has also established satellite offices in Scotland and Asia ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

An industry leader in robotic crawlers that is based in Nanaimo is expanding operations in Texas.

Inuktun Services Ltd. launched Inuktun InCommand Robotics, the company’s first wholly owned subsidiary, in Houston this month.

Inuktun president Colin Dobell said a number of the company’s clients, including Dow Chemical, BP, Cat-Spec Ltd., Acuren, and Aetos, regularly perform a variety of tank, pipe and infrastructure inspections in nearby

industrial areas in Texas.

He said the new subsidiary office will provide the clients with quick access to Inuktun’s wide range of multi-mission modular robotic technologies, allowing them to see more and do more than ever before.

“Being in Houston gives us the ability to provide demo, rental and repair services to our customers in a more timely and effective manner than we can from our headquarters in Nanaimo,” said Dobell.

“Because of the (new office’s) proximity to so many of our existing customers, we expect to

be able to solve many of the sales and rental inquiries within the same day.”

In its more than 25 years in operation in Nanaimo, Inuktun’s remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, have combed through the radioactive wreckage of a tsunami-hit nuclear plant in Japan, assisted in search and rescue efforts after the Sept. 11 terror attacks and are being used by the U.S. military, among other applications.

Dobell said Inuktun has established satellite offices in Scotland, Asia and the U.S., with other partners, but the new office

in Texas is the first one wholly owned by the company.

He said the company is considering opening two more offices on its own, including another one in the U.S. and one in eastern Canada, sometime soon as Inuktun’s national and international markets expand.

“We’re providing training for the office in Houston and expect to hire five new staff members there that will add to the more than 50 people we have in our Nanaimo office,” he said.

Dobell said operating a company that serves markets across the globe from Nanaimo presents

challenges.

“There’s not much of market for our products in Nanaimo so we’re logistically challenged in meeting our clients needs from here,” he said.

“But there are many advantages as well. The cost of doing business is cheaper for us here than larger centres and our staff, with many brought in from China, the Middle East and Europe, really enjoy the lifestyle here.”

BUSINESS

FROM THE FRONT

New Nanaimo company will be on ‘Dragons’ Den’

Views on Bill C-51 differ among parties

SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

Most frighteningly, the new powers given to the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) would allow it to operate as a secret police force, break Canadian laws, and use evidence obtained by torture.

With these powers CSIS could disrupt RCMP investigations and derail efforts to prosecute criminals.

Health Canada and the Canada Revenue Agency will be compelled to share information about you with the RCMP even if they don’t have a warrant.

What makes this bill especially dangerous is that there is no judicial or parliamentary oversight. Only the government will get to decide whether a group is a security threat, and that may be because they oppose government policy, such as new raw bitumen export pipelines.

This legislation violates our constitution and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Undermining our democracy and our fundamental rights is not the way to protect them.

A toy and product delivery service for cat owners started by a woman from Nanaimo in 2013 is set to appear on the CBC reality series Dragons’ Den. Olivia Canlas, founder of Meowbox, started the company out of her home. The business has since clawed its way to thousands of subscribers in Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. and has also been nominated for Canada Post’s E-Commerce Innovation Awards later this month.

Canlas, who now lives in Vancouver with her partner and company co-founder Francois Deschenes, said she got the idea from the business Barkbox, which delivers products and toys for dogs to owners’ doorsteps.

Meowbox works in a similar way. Subscribers receive a package in the mail each month containing new specialty and hard-to-find foods and items for their felines.

It costs a little over $32 for a month-to-month option, and gets cheaper for longer-term subscriptions.

The contents of each box are always a surprise, but Canlas said the boxes offer a unique combination of offerings for picky cats, such as handmade toys or accessories and high-end foods.

“I think the appeal is the variety, because when you go to a pet store, it’s always the same stuff,” she said. “Part of the appeal of the surprise is they’re trying new things.”

Customers have taken to the idea like kittens to warm milk.

Canlas said she expects to see the company hit the $1-million revenue mark soon.

The pair went to the Dragons’ Den seeking a $150,000 cash

infusion into the business in exchange for 15 per cent.

The episode has already been recorded, and Canlas said she is bound to secrecy on whether they got a deal or not.

Those who are keen to find out can watch the episode when it airs on Oct. 14 to find out.

Firefighters in full gear will lead the 2015 Walk for Muscular Dystrophy in Nanaimo on Sept. 26.

Dwain King, a lieutenant with Ladysmith Fire Rescue and Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s 2015 BC/Yukon Firefighter of the Year, will be among them.

King said one of the complications of Muscular Dystrophy is that it impacts people’s ability to breath and many patients end up having to breath through a tube.

Firefighters will be breathing from their air packs during the three-kilometre walk.

Our support of this legislation was paired with a commitment that a Liberal government would create safeguards to ensure the powers in this legislation are not abused.

Following committee review three Liberal amendments were included. Remove the word “lawful” prior to “protest”, narrow the scope of information sharing to the relevant government agencies, and limit intervention powers over Canadian airlines.

These were needed changes, but not enough.

The Liberal Party of Canada is committed to clarify the overly broad scope of the new powers, and require a mandatory review of Bill C-51, in its entirety, after three years.

We are concerned that the NDP has refused to acknowledge that there are tools in Bill C-51 that are necessary to protect Canadians. The NDP have failed to provide Canadians with any details about what measures they would introduce to improve public safety.

According to the Conservatives any party that voted no to Bill C-51 is ignorant of national security issues. According to the NDP any party that voted yes to Bill C-51 is anti-democratic.

Canada must now live up to its reputation

S

ome 60 million people are on the run today because of war, persecution or economic deprivation. It’s an unimaginable number, rivalled only by the displacements at the end of the Second World War. “The world is a mess,” the head of the UN Refugee Agency said in what is probably one of history’s great understatements.

The epicentre of this seething mass of mangled humanity today is the Middle East, where tens of millions of people have been displaced because of conflicts in Iraq and Syria, while others in places such as Libya and Tunisia have fled in search of economic opportunities.

Thousands of men, women and children have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea or died

by other means while trying to escape to the presumed safety of Europe, which has been overwhelmed by the crisis. Germany, Italy, Sweden and some others are rising to the challenge and opening their doors, but others have sealed their borders with barbed wire.

So, where is Canada amid all this turmoil and tragedy? Are we doing enough? Hardly. Two years ago, the Harper government promised to accept 1,300 Syrian refugees, a goal it only achieved as of last March. In January this year, the Conservatives said Canada would take another 10,000 over three years. And earlier this month, in an example of shameless electoral pandering, the government said it would take in another 10,000 over a period of time.

The government has said some 23,000 Iraqis will also be settled in Canada following a commitment made six years ago, but it is unclear how many Syrians or Iraqis have actually been resettled.

The fine print also shows the Conservatives expect private sponsors to pick up a large share of the tab. That’s in addition to other conditions, including selecting certain religious groups over others. But even if all the promises were kept, it is still far below what’s required in the face of one of history’s great humanitarian catastrophes.

Previous governments don’t have sterling records either in opening Canada’s doors to the wretched of the Earth. And Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau and the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair are

only promising vague improvements over the Harper record. Mr. Trudeau said he would resettle some 25,000 Syrians, which is good, but the pledge came without any details or reference to other groups struggling to survive.

One of the central differences between Mr. Harper and the other leaders, however, is that he believes the crisis requires a military solution.

The Islamic State, Mr. Harper has said, “left to its own devices will create millions, tens of millions, of refugees and victims on a monthly basis.”

That’s undoubtedly true, but it conveniently ignores the urgent need to help those who have already fled Iraq and Syria. Some of our key European allies, particularly Germany, could also use

more assistance, particularly since some European countries are more concerned about erecting razor wire than easing anyone’s pain.

Canada, too, needs to remember its past when considering whether its response is adequate. The country was built by immigrants and refugees from religious and political persecution.

We are proud of that heritage, but the country’s lacklustre response to the crisis in Europe and the Middle East may require a revision of some of our national myths.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@nanaimodailynews.com Taking in more refugees would be doing our part Remember when Mr. Trudeau was accused of “committing sociology” when he suggested we look at the “root causes” behind terrorist attacks?

Seems like Harper now shares an affinity for sociology in claiming we must acknowledge the “root causes” behind the Syrian crisis, ideologically predetermined by himself to be “Islamic terror”/ ISIS, against whom only military efforts can prevail. However if he were to commit serious sociology he would learn that Syria suffered from an unprecedented four-year drought from 2006 to 10 that destroyed 60 per cent of its farms and killed 80 per cent of its livestock and drove a million and a half rural Syrians into the overcrowded cities where they combined with another million and a half Iraqi refugees fleeing war.

Poverty, inequality, overcrowding, corrupt and inept leadership exploded into an ongoing civil war in 2011.

There have been many forecasts that climate change would lead to mass migrations from areas that could no longer feed their human

populations leading to social unrest, chaos. The severity and duration of the drought in Syria and surrounding areas suggests that climate change is to blame and will become worse. If Canada were to take climate change seriously and do its part to reduce GHG’s we may be able to mitigate future desperate migrations.

Right now we could do our part by quickly taking in more refugees, signing the UN Arms Trade Treaty to help control the spread of lethal weapons to rogue regimes and learning the lesson that sociology teaches; war does not make anything better.

Canada should make amends toward refugees News accounts of the refugee problems in Africa and the Middle East seem oddly devoid of the huge part the present Canadian government has played in creating this crisis.

A great many of those people attempting to cross the Mediterranean from Libya were dispos-

sessed when Canadian CF-18s bombed their homes three years ago.

Those bombers were sent with the full consent of Trudeau’s Liberals and Layton’s NDP voting in lock-step with the Conservatives.

Libyans never offered any threat to Canada. SNC Lavalin, our largest engineering firm, had been working there over 15 years.

Canada should certainly make some amends toward the people whose lives we’ve disrupted and destroyed. We should not expect them to be particularly grateful.

Helping Big Brothers can make a difference Have you ever wondered what an hour means to you?

An hour is all you need to spend with a child who needs you. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island is looking for someone who can make a big difference in a child’s life by spending just one hour with them at school doing either a game, a craft, baking, reading or just time to talk

or listen. It makes them feel special because you are there.

In nine years I have met some troubled children who were having problems with others because of bullying or just not belonging, but amazingly, when we baked cookies and shared them with their classmates, things began to change.

My husband knew how strongly I felt about sharing time with these kids, so he started working with the mentoring program as well, sharing his talents with boys who have learned to carve wood.

An hour seems like such a little thing, but to a child it can make a big difference.

ELECTION 2015

◆ ONTARIO

Liver transplant twins begin kindergarten class Little Binh and Phuoc Wagner hopped onto a school van recently on their way to kindergarten class for the first time. Their parents, Johanne and Michael, couldn’t get over the normalcy of the situation.

At this time last year, there were some thoughts, however fleeting, that the twin girls from Kingston, Ont., might never make it to school. They had just been placed on a transplant waiting list for new livers because of the effects of Alagille syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects vital organs.

Without new livers, the girls would die. Michael was willing to donate part of his liver, but he couldn’t give to both girls. And he wasn’t sure if he’d be a match for either child. So the family went public, their story capturing the world’s hearts.

◆ SAN ANTONIO

Football players hit ref, now under investigation A San Antonio-area police department is investigating two football players who rammed into a referee during a high school game. Marble Falls, Texas, police said in a statement Monday there have been no arrests.

The Northside Independent School District is conducting its own investigation into the incident Friday and has suspended the two players from the school and the team. Video showed the referee watching the play, and his head snapping back when he is levelled from behind. The other player then dove on top of him. The team from John Jay High School in San Antonio was playing Marble Falls High School in Marble Falls, located about 90 miles north of San Antonio.

◆ BOGOTA, COLOMBIA

Ton of cocaine seized

by Colombian authorities Authorities in Colombia said they seized over 1 metric ton of cocaine disguised as printer ink and bound for Mexico. The police said officers at Bogota’s El Dorado airport were tipped off when a drugsniffing Labrador named Mona detected the narcotics hidden in 48 boxes of a 1-metric ton cargo shipment bound for a company in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.

Tories drop two candidates as campaign hits milestone Conservative MP hopefuls axed after embarassing videos of them surfaced online MURRAY BREWSTER THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Conservatives stumbled as the federal election reached an unofficial milestone on Monday, dropping two candidates from their slate in the important Greater Toronto Area battlegroud after embarrassing videos surfaced in the mainstream media and online.

Jerry Bance, who was running in Scarborough Rouge Park, was the first to go after reportedly being caught on camera urinating into a coffee cup while he was an appliance repairman.

The day got worse as Tim Dutaud, the candidate in Toronto-Danforth, was declared persona non grata by the federal party a short time later.

A Conservative official confirmed a man seen making prank calls in several YouTube videos — including one where he pretends to have a mental disability — is Dutaud.

The revelation came just before Prime Minister Stephen Harper said re-elected Conservatives would improve a federal disability grant program, one championed by Jim Flaherty, the late finance minister.

And in Quebec, the Bloc Quebecois was critical of Conservative candidate Mohammad Zamir, who was spoke in garbled French

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper delivers a speech during a campaign stop in Toronto on Monday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

during two interviews with La Presse Canadienne.

His unilingual English website, which has since been taken down, said he spoke “elementary” French.

During a campaign stop in Mississauga, Ont., Harper tersely attempted to put the best spin on the losses when asked what the incidents said about the quality

of candidates he was attracting.

“What this says is that we keep the highest standard for candidates and these two individuals are no longer candidates,” said Harper, who later in the five-question availability indicated that the Conservatives would find replacements for both ridings.

Bance, who runs an appliance

repair company, was bounced from the Conservative slate after the CBC reported its hidden cameras on the show “Marketplace” caught him urinating into a cup while he was on a service call in 2012. Video from the program shows Bance pouring the urine down the sink, then rinsing out the cup, all while the homeowner was in the next room.

IMMIGRATION

Quebec asks Ottawa for help with refugees JULIEN ARSENAULT THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — The Quebec government announced a series of measures to take in more Syrian refugees Monday, while acknowledging it needs a green light from the federal government before they can go ahead.

As a result of the Syrian refugee crisis, the province announced it was ready to take

in 3,650 refugees before the end of 2015 — 2,450 more than originally planned.

“To be able do that we need the collaboration of the federal government,” said Kathleen Weil, Quebec’s immigration minister, in a press conference.

Accompanied by International Relations Minister Christine St-Pierre, Weil explained that since the federal government is

in charge of border security and refugee policy, it would have to approve Quebec’s plan to bring in refugees on an accelerated timeline. When asked about Quebec’s announcement, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said his government had already agreed to take in additional refugees, and Quebec’s request of 2,500 was in line with what they would proportionately receive.

The Conservatives have committed to accepting 10,000 Syrian refugees over the next three years, whereas Quebec’s proposal was for 2015 alone.

Harper said the government was “looking at ways to speed up the process,” while protecting Canada’s security.

“It’s essential we help the most vulnerable, not only first come first serve,” he said.

Clippers goalie looks to be No. 1

Fowler beats out Stenson in FedEx Cup event

Nineteen-year-old Jonathan Reinhart comes to Nanaimo as a GOJHL champion SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

J

onathan Reinhart is hoping to be next in what is becoming a long line of dominant Nanaimo Clippers goaltenders.

The 19-year-old from Cambridge, Ont., has big plastic-covered skates to fill replacing last year’s No. 1, Guillaume Decelles, who was in the top two in most B.C. Hockey League goalie categories and who took the Clippers to within two wins of the Fred Page Cup. Decelles replaced Jayson Argue, a two-year starter for the Clippers now playing NCAA Div. I hockey at Bentley College.

Before Argue was Billy Faust, who earned a scholarship to the University of Vermont, and the list goes on.

With Decelles out of the picture, now playing semi-pro hockey in Quebec, the Clippers’ No. 1 job is Reinhart’s to lose as a back-up goalie has yet to be announced with the BCHL season set to begin on Saturday.

“I want to get as many games as I can,” Reinhart said, “but it’s up to coach to who goes in and starts.

“Hopefully I can be that guy, and play as many games as I can.”

Last season, Reinhart was playing in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League — labelled as the country’s top Junior B league by many — and was as dominant as they come.

In 2014-15, his second season with the Elmira Sugar Kings, Reinhart had a record of 28-63 with a .922 save percentage while helping his team win the Cherry Cup as Champions of the Midwestern Conference of the GOJHL. He was the co-winner for the lowest goals against aver-

age in the Midwestern Conference as well as sharing the award for the top goalie tandem in the league.

Shortly after the season, he jumped on a chance to sign with the Clippers and play in the BCHL, regarded as the top Junior A league in Canada.

“This is 100 per cent where I want to be,” Reinhart said.

“I was fortunate enough to get a call from coach, and to come to a team like this is really exciting.”

Like most players coming to the BCHL, Reinhart is hoping to play well enough to earn a U.S. college scholarship.

As a 19-year-old, he’s got two

years to do so.

But before he’s even played a BCHL regular season game, Reinhart doesn’t want to begin speculating on his future.

“Whatever happens, happens,” he said. “Obviously, I want to go to school. If it doesn’t happen this year, then I’d be more than happy to come back. I just want to come in here and play the best hockey I can.”

With the Clippers, Reinhart will be playing behind a team with big aspirations, a team that came as close as possible to win a league championship that has a group of veterans returning with plans to get back to the finals again.

“We’ve really got some potential here,” Reinhart said, “and I think we can do well.”

The Clippers lost their final exhibition game Saturday night, 2-1 on the road against the Cowichan Valley Capitals in the preseason finale.

They went 2-3-0-0 in exhibition play.

They start the regular season schedule with back-to-back road games against the Powell River Kings before opening at home against the Victoria Grizzlies Sept. 18.

Texas ends M’s win streak ASSOCIATED PRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — Adrian Beltre lined a tworun, bases-loaded single in the sixth inning and Yovani Gallardo pitched into the sixth as the Texas Rangers beat the Seattle Mariners 3-0 Monday.

Texas picked up a game on AL West-leading Houston, which lost to Oakland 10-9. The Astros lead the Rangers by 2 games.

The Rangers’ go-ahead rally began with Delino DeShields drawing a one-out walk from Roenis Elias (4-8). Shin-Soo Choo followed with a single to centre, and Elias then hit Prince Fielder with a pitch, loading the bases.

Beltre worked a full count, then

punched a fastball to right, scoring DeShields and Choo.

Mariners shortstop Ketel Marte prevented further damage with a nifty grab of a one-hop grounder by Elvis Andrus that he turned into a double play.

Gallardo (12-9) picked up the victory, working 5 1-3 innings. He allowed five hits, struck out four and walked two.

The Rangers added a run in the seventh on consecutive wild pitches by Rob Rasmussen, allowing Rougned Odor to advance to third then home.

Shawn Tolleson finished the ninth to pick up his 30th save in 32 opportunities.

The loss ended the Mariners’ season-high five-game win streak. It was their 10th shutout.

NORTON, Mass. — One big putt for Rickie Fowler. One big mistake for Henrik Stenson.

The turned out to be the difference Monday when Fowler rallied from a two-shot deficit with five holes to play, making a 40-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole and playing flawless the rest of the way for a 3-under 68 and a one-shot victory in the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Fowler won for the third time this year and moved to No. 5 in the world, not quite in the conversation for the new “Big Three” but perhaps on the cusp of it. The victory assures he will be among the top five players in the FedEx Cup that has a clear shot at the $10 million prize in the Tour Championship.

“It’s pretty special to fight it out like that,” Fowler said.

Stenson was a runner-up in a FedEx Cup playoff event for the second straight week, and this one figures to sting.

He grabbed a three-shot lead with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 10th, and after a two-shot swing in Fowler’s favour at No. 11, the Swede drilled a 35-foot birdie putt on No. 12 to restore his lead to two shots.

Stenson never trailed until his tee shot on the par-3 16th came up short, bounced off the front of the green and down into the rocks and the water. That led to a double bogey, and Fowler never gave him a chance to catch up.

Stenson had a 15-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a tie, but it slid by on the right and he closed with a 70. Fowler two-putted for par from 10 feet.

“I obviously pulled the wrong club on 16 and was trying to get the most out of a 7-iron into the wind and ballooned that one a little bit and that was the crucial mistake. Making double there was really a killer,” Stenson said.

“I tried to get those two shots back or at least one to force a playoff on the last two holes and couldn’t manage to do it.”

The final hour was every bit as tense as The Players Championship in May, except instead of five players having a chance to win, this was a duel with Stenson the entire back nine. Fowler didn’t make any birdies after his long putt on the 14th, but he didn’t have to.

Clara Hughes Wiggins leads admits to Canada to win doping in book over Uruguay THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Former Olympian Clara Hughes has revealed a previously undisclosed anti-doping rule violation from 1994.

Hughes wrote in her newly released memoir that she tested positive for the banned substance ephedrine in 1994 and that she was notified of the test result

by Cycling Canada’s then national team director. Hughes says in the book that the violation was intentionally kept quiet. The offence occurred before the creation of the World Anti-Doping Agency or the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, Canada’s national anti-doping body.

“Cycling Canada cannot condone how this matter was handled at the time by any of those involved,” said a statement from the organization. “Regardless of the practices of the day, Cycling Canada believes in full, fair and open disclosure of all doping related offences. We remain fully committed to the principles of fair play and rigid compliance with the WADA Code.”

Hughes informed Cycling Canada of the revelation in her upcoming biography in late August and gave the governing body a copy of the manuscript.

MEXICO CITY — Andrew Wiggins scored 11 of his 18 points in the third quarter to lead the Canadian men’s basketball team to a 109-82 victory over Uruguay in second-round action at the FIBA Americas Championship on Monday.

Canada, which got double-digit points from seven different players, can clinch a spot in the tournament semifinals with a Mexico win over Venezuela later Monday and an Argentina victory over the Dominican Republic on Tuesday.

Andrew Nicholson poured in 15 points with 10 rebounds off the bench as the Canadians won their fifth straight game at the tournament. Nik Stauskas had 14 points, Brady Heslip added 13, Melvin Ejim had 11 and Anthony Bennett and Phil Scrubb chipped in 10 apiece.

Nicolas Borsellino led Uruguay with 15 points.

Canada plays host Mexico on Tuesday night before closing out the second round of group play against the Dominican Republic on Wednesday.

The top two teams at the tournament qualify for next summer’s Olympic Games in Rio.

Blue Jays fall 11-4 in series opener against Boston KEN POWTAK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Toronto Blue Jays are trying to slug their way to an AL East title.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need better pitching than this, though.

Jackie Bradley Jr. had four hits with a two-run home run and four RBIs, Rick Porcello pitched into the eighth inning and the Boston Red Sox beat the East-leading Blue Jays 11-4 Monday.

The Blue Jays lost for just the fourth time in 16 games, but had their lead atop the East sliced to a half game over the New York Yankees, who beat Baltimore 8-6 on Monday.

Working on seven daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rest after complaining of fatigue, Mark Buehrle (14-7) gave up five runs on nine hits in 3 1-3 innings.

The bullpen wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much better, giving up six runs on eight hits.

The Blue Jays lost the opener of their last series in Baltimore 10-2 but responded to win the

next two games.

Toronto manager John Gibbons said he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;some concernsâ&#x20AC;? about Buehrle, who has had a couple of tough outings recently.

The veteran left-hander said he

felt fine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt better today than I have in the last couple,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much September is what it was. It was just one of those days where their offence was

there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take today â&#x20AC;&#x201D; besides the results â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just about any day.â&#x20AC;?

Josh Donaldson and Justin Smoak each hit solo homers for Toronto. Donaldsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was his 37th.

Toronto leads the majors with 191 homers and 750 runs.

Bradley added two singles and a double and Travis Shaw hit a two-run homer for Boston, which posted its fourth straight win and eighth in 11 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not trying to force anything,â&#x20AC;? said Bradley of his recent offensive surge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to swing at strikes.â&#x20AC;?

Porcello (7-12) had his third consecutive strong start since coming off the disabled list following a right triceps strain. He allowed four runs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three earned â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and eight hits over 7 1-3 innings.

David Ortiz had a pair of doubles and an RBI. The second was high off the Green Monster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; below a sign with the white numbers â&#x20AC;&#x153;497â&#x20AC;? that signify his

chase to become the 27th player to hit 500 career homers.

The Red Sox broke in front 5-1 by scoring twice in both the third and fourth.

Bradley homered into the first row of Monster seats in a threerun sixth.

The 25-year-old outfielder, who shuttled between Triple-A Pawtucket and the majors this season, continued his torrid pace. Since Aug. 9, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hitting .446 with 24 extra-base hits in 25 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that there is a general overall confidence that he is showing right now,â&#x20AC;? Red Sox interim manager Torey Lovullo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he can walk up to the plate and hit at any count and any pitch at any part of the at-bat, and that is from a lot of hard work behind the scenes that he has put in.â&#x20AC;?

Xander Bogaertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; run-scoring grounder pushed Boston in front 2-1 before Ortizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RBI double.

Book Review The Pocket Guide to More Bridge Conventions by Barbara Seagram & David Bird

Puppet Stayman, a convention that asks opener for a five-card major, is discussed over a 2NT opening.

In response to three clubs, opener rebids as follows; three diamonds shows no five-card major but at least one four-card major.

Three hearts = 5 hearts, three spades = 5 spades but 3NT denies a four or five-card major. This example is cited:

SHERMAN’S LAGOON

Partner ♠KQ1083 ♥A104 ♦AQ6 ♣AQ

You ♠J94 ♥92 ♦K873 ♣J642

Partner 2NT 3♠

You 3♣ 4♠

SOLUTION: IT’S ANOTHER WORLD

CRYPTOQUOTE CRANKSHAFT

3NT could well be defeated by a heart lead but four spades is a virtual lock. Puppet Stayman has allowed you to uncover the 5-3 fit.

You can still locate a 4-4 major suit fit playing Puppet Stayman and ensure that the opener will always become declarer. After a start of 2NT3(clubs)- 3(diamonds) where opener discloses at least one four-card major, responder rebids three hearts with four spades, three spades with four hearts but four diamondswithtwofour-card majors.

The authors go on to say that Puppet Stayman can also be used opposite a 1NT opening but this agreement entails a multitude of changes in your responses to 1NT. They suggest that a three club response functions as Puppet Stayman.

The authors present about twenty conventions but this pocket guide will only serve as an introduction.

NFL

Seahawks want to forget Super Bowl Opportunity arrives for Wilson to get past disappointing memory of late interception TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; They all processed the events differently, just as Pete Carroll encouraged. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to direct how to get past arguably the most stunning Super Bowl conclusion in history.

Some may never get over what occurred when Russell Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass found the arms of Malcolm Butler and not Ricardo Lockette.

But the Seattle Seahawks are in agreement that the easiest way to escape the cloud of what happened is getting back there again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were on the 1-yard line. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to change much,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of our focus.â&#x20AC;?

Seattle begins the season trying to become the first NFC team to win three successive conference titles.

The Seahawks remain the class of the NFC West and with Green Bay are widely considered the best two teams in the conference.

But there are new issues the Seahawks face that have nothing to do with any hangover from that February loss to New England.

WILSON

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal strife: Strong safety Kam Chancellor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Pro Bowl talent and respected locker-room voice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is holding out, and there is no signal of a resolution.

There are personnel questions, specifically along the offensive line where veteran Max Unger is no longer around and Seattle will begin the season with two players, Drew Nowak and Garry Gilliam, who have never started an NFL game.

And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the inevitable pull back to that post-Super Bowl feeling and if Seattle will get the

chance to erase that memory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an obvious factor because it gets brought up all the time, and you get asked the questions and stuff. We understand that, and everybody gets that,â&#x20AC;? Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How many teams get back to a championship game twice, and then how many teams get back to it three times?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason for anybody to think you can do that, it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cool thing, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cool challenge for us.

So all of that kind of has a subtle way of fueling us.â&#x20AC;?

What to watch for as the Seahawks open the season on Sunday at St. Louis: FEED THE BEAST: Marshawn Lynch is entering that unique age for running backs where production typically drops off. Lynch turned 29 in April, but if last season was any indication, he is not slowing down. Lynch rushed for 1,306 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; second most in his career â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a career-high 13 touchdowns in the regular season. The addition of veteran and close friend Fred

Jackson should make it possible to give Lynch breaks; Jackson will likely be Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main third-down running back.

HEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S JIMMY: Seattle stayed basic during the preseason with how it used new offensive toy Jimmy Graham. Expect the Seahawks to start showing off Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s versatility now.

The tight endâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence in the offence should open coverage for wide receivers Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse. Wilson should also have the chance to be more aggressive with some of his throws downfield because of Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size.

The question for Graham is if he can be a capable blocker in the run game and not a liability.

SHUFFLE THE DECK: The offensive line will be under close watch throughout the season. Left guard was so problematic that Justin Britt was moved from right tackle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where he started all last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to guard midway through training camp.

HOROSCOPE

by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Use your resourcefulness with a child or loved one who seems to be driv- ing a hard bargain. Your sensitivity remains high, but remember not to push beyond your natural limits. Knowing your objective will help point the way. Tonight: Stay close to home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Consider the past few days before you start any project. You will want to accomplish a lot more quickly, though you could be more tired than you realize.

Stay close to home, if possible. A situation might arise that could encour- age you to rethink a friendship. Tonight: Make it easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on, yet you might need to handle a personal matter first. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t settle for

anything less than what you feel is right. Listen to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale of woe and recognize the ten- sion it has created. Tonight: Let the party begin.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You see a personal matter differ- ently from how many other people see it. The reason is that you understand peo- pleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings better than others. Open up to a new possibility. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a confusing situation.

Tonight: Treat yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be honest when you are feeling out of sorts. Sometimes you would be best off retreating and not putting on your sunny face.

Everyone needs some time off â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even you. Take a day just for you, and you will see the difference.

Tonight: Take a nap, then decide.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to pressure yourself as you have. If you feel up to it, push yourself today, but plan on getting some downtime

very soon. You seem to have been angry about a situation, and could lose your temper. Have a discus- sion instead. Tonight: Make it an early night.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more forthright in how you deal with another person. Your sense of humor emerges once more when dealing with an irritable yet funny friend.

Accomplish what you must before you socialize. You will hear a lot of news. Tonight: Be prepared for a fun happen- ing.

Signs of emotional Faith-based â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;War Room,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Spanish abuse can be varied cartoon stand out at the box ofďŹ ce Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox Dear Annie: What are the signs of emotional abuse? I think my friend, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlotte,â&#x20AC;? is in a relationship with a man who is emotionally abusive. When Charlotte and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paulâ&#x20AC;? started dating, he made lots of promises that he has not kept.

He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d teach her how to drive, but he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Her mom was always in charge of her financial stuff (sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on disability) and when she and Paul got engaged, her mom wanted to discuss the finances with him. But they were married last month and the talk never happened.

Paul limits what Charlotte can spend her money on, saying they need to save for the new restaurant that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening. Then he goes out and spends his money on video games.

Also, Charlotte told me that Paul restricts who she can see and how much time she can spend with them.

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like most of her family and will not let her see them, even when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not around. Last week, Charlotte

and I went out for lunch and she forgot to tell him. He became angry because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t inform him first.

What should I do?

I care about her and think she deserves better than this man.

But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think she will listen to me. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charlotteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Friend Dear Friend: According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org), signs of emotional abuse include calling you names, insulting you or continually criticizing you; refusing to trust you and acting jealous or possessive; trying to isolate you from family or friends; monitoring where you go, who you call and who you spend time with; demanding to know where you are every minute; punishing you by withholding affection; threatening to hurt you; blaming you for the abuse; accusing you of cheating; attempting to control your appearance; telling you that you will never find anyone better.

Abuse also includes controlling money.

We can see that Paul is isolating Charlotte, monitoring her whereabouts and controlling access to friends, family and money.

Of course, as you pointed out, Charlotte may not listen to you.

But please try to maintain a relationship with her and make sure she has the number of the Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.

LINDSEY BAHR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Summer blockbusters gave way to the small and highly targeted over a sleepy Labour Day weekend at the box office, with notable performances from the faith-based War Room and the Spanish language cartoon Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos.

Sonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s War Room fought its way to first place in its second weekend in release, earning $12.6 million across the four-day holiday weekend, according to Rentrak estimates on Monday.

The micro-budget family drama, which cost only $3.5 million to produce, has grossed $27.9 million to date.

Financial success for faithbased films is not exactly a surprise at this point, but War Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impressive hold from its opening weekend is significant.

Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior media analyst, attributes War Roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second weekend success to heightened awareness after it nearly usurped Straight Outta Compton last weekend.

Also, word of mouth is strong for War Room. Dergarabedian said according to exit polling, 75 per cent of the audience said they would definitely recommend the movie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a substantial and interesting contrast to the

dismal critical reception for the film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great story of a film that really filled a void in the marketplace, with a message that the audience could really get behind,â&#x20AC;? he said.

New release A Walk in the Woods, debuted in third place, behind previous champ Straight Outta Compton, with $10.5 million from 1,960 screens. The buddy dramedy based on Bill Brysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte cost a reported $8 million to make and has taken in $12.2 million since its Wednesday opening.

The action pic The Transporter Refueled, meanwhile, opened in fifth with a lacklustre $9 million from over 3,400 screens. Costing only $21 million to produce, this franchise outing subbed in a relatively unknown actor, Ed Skrein, for star Jason Statham, who had helped the previous three films succeed. Dergarabedian said while both films will likely perform decently in theatres, their VOD earning potential is great. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of those movies will end up being profitable on the small screen down the road,â&#x20AC;? he said.

But, it was Pantelionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spanish-language animated film Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos, that truly stood out among the pack, taking in $4.4 million from just 395 locations over the four-day

weekend. Although it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come close to the sensational $10.4 million Labour Day weekend debut of Pantelionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 film Instructions Not Included, it does still illustrate the significant power of an underserved audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Latinos represent 17 per cent of the population and buy 24 per cent of movie tickets. They go to the movies all the time and they go to movies as families. If we can create a film that resonates with families over a holiday weekend, it tends to do well,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Presburger, CEO of Pantelion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where Hollywood releases big movies that appeal to everyone, we release movies that specifically and culturally appeal to the Latino audience,â&#x20AC;? he added.

They relied on grassroots marketing to get the word out about the film and plan to expand to over 580 locations next weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highest per-theatre average of any film in national release, that film, like War Room, filled a void in the marketplace,â&#x20AC;? said Dergarabedian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hollywood is creating a lot of diverse product. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about people relating to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on on-screen.â&#x20AC;?

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Monday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Rentrak. Final domestic figures will be released Tuesday.
