The people have spoken and Norm Casler and the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce have listened.

On Aug. 20, the chamber will be hosting a special edition market for those that can't make it to the usual Friday Market on the Esplanade.

Even those who aren't looking to buy from the vendors are invited to the market, says Casler.

“We will have a full four-piece band with some of the finest musicians around – Clinton Swanson and Friends,” he said. “(The band) will showcase an outstanding evening of blues, jazz, R&B, funk and swing to keep the crowd entertained.”

Those who are looking for a hearty homemade dinner on Aug. 20 are also welcome to come on down. “(We hope guests will) enjoy some of the great food vendors that will be there and simply enjoy an evening in one of the most beautiful locations a market has ever been,” said Casler.

The market is all about business development and Casler says adding one more market at a different time of day can only benefit.

Casler wants businesses who aren't going to be at the market to stay open too.

“The market has always been about getting more people, action and excitement happening in the downtown core,” he said.

“All businesses in the area are encouraged to take advantage of the extra traffic by staying open late, holding sidewalk sales, doing market day specials or even take a spot at the night market.”

The market runs from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the Wednesday evening and according to Casler, there are already over 50 vendors signed up to sell.

The memorial benches in Jubilee Park offer a serene place to rest, read a book or enjoy some lunch. Emily Dawson took a few midday moments to catch up on reading, while David and Yvette Freeman (back) chatted and noshed in the shade during the locum lawyer’s Thursday noon break.

Marie Harvey’s daily routine includes a glimpse out the window of her riverside home to check on Charlie’s bench.

Charlie Harvey’s memorial bench sits on Riverside Avenue near the old Elks lot and faces the Victoria Street Bridge so anyone choosing to pass a few moments at the site can gaze over the mighty Columbia River from the peaceful viewpoint.

“My family wanted to do something in memory of Charlie,” said Marie. “They didn’t want to waste money on flowers so I told my sister I was thinking of a bench. She told the rest of the family and that was how it came about, from our whole family in memory of Charlie.”

The park bench is one of 113 donated by families through the city’s memorial bench program, which encourages passersby to stop for a moment and remember Trail’s finest on a comfortable perch or at a picnic table.

The most favoured area for the benches has been Gyro Park, but Trail continues to expand opportunities in public parks and on city land, so benches can be anchored in spots especially meaningful to the person being remembered.

“It makes me feel good when I see people sitting on Charlie’s bench,”said Marie. “Because I know they stop and look at his plaque each time that happens.”

The city has opened up Jubilee Park along the Esplanade by pouring concrete pads to accommodate more benches, said Andrea Jolly, Trail’s communication and events coordinator. “The natural light is really appealing to enjoy the park

and to place a bench there.”

Some benches are open to sponsorship along the Esplanade, Jolly added, noting that if the pedestrian bridge proceeds to become a component of the riverwalk, there is further potential for more benches in that location.

Since the program’s inception 15 years ago, the total community contribution towards the memorial initiative nears $134,000.

The nonprofit program offers a six-foot aluminum bench for $1,200 that includes installation, a four-by-six inch bronze plaque and the maintenance of the bench for 10 years.

When sewer problems forced workers to dig up the area where her husband’s bench was located a few years ago, Marie said the city looked after the bench in storage until the pipes were repaired, then thoughtfully placed Charlie’s bench in its current spot.

“Larry (Abenante) was a very good friend to Charlie so he had it in storage all that time the work was being done,” she said. “It doesn’t really affect the history of the bench because it was put back in a slightly different spot with care.”

Another opportunity for donating park benches will be available this summer as the second leg of downtown Trail’s revitalization plan continues.

Street furniture benches will be installed along the Victoria Street corridor and open to memorial bench sponsorship as requested.

“This has become a very popular program with Trail citizens,” said Jolly. “Many out-of -towners comment on the number of memorial benches. It has become very successful and is a wonderful way to honour the memory of loved ones.”

Aron Tinsley (raking) and Jason Belding were spreading out the finishing touches on the city’s new planting beds this week. The greening leg of Phase 2 of the downtown revitalization project is almost complete and the next stage, installing street-scape features, will commence next week.

Project coming to a lovely finish

By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

Park benches, bike racks, receptacles and crimson details are the accoutrements to downtown Trail’s revitalizing makeover currently underway.

As the greening leg of the Victoria Street Corridor project winds down this week, the city is rolling forward to position “street furniture” along the roadway to add character to the refurbished areas.

Over the next few weeks, 12 benches, garbage repositories and 30-plus bollards that match the red details of the minor gateway features, will pop up along the street to create colour and décor.

Bollards are structures used for protection and aesthetic appeal, explained Andrea Jolly, Trail’s communication and events

coordinator.

The structural posts are three feet high and were manufactured by Hil-Tech Contracting, the same company that fabricated and installed the trio of minor gateway features located at the intersections of Victoria Street and Pine, Cedar and Bay avenues.

The gateway features act as navigational aids for guests and visitors to the city, and during this phase of improvements, the Cedar Ave. post will be moved across the street for better visibility.

City crews will install the benches, round garbage bins and recycling baskets for cans and bottles, said Jolly, adding that strategic placement of the bike racks is still under review.

So far, the second phase of downtown Trail improvements have gone off without a hitch and remain on schedule to wrap up by September.

Other than short term traf-

fic hold-ups in June during excavations at the Rossland Avenue intersection, traffic delays have been far less than anticipated, Jolly noted.

“There have been no major delays or unforeseen conditions during the project.”

Andrea jolly

“There have been no major delays or unforeseen conditions during the project,” she added.

The downtown corridor upgrades are part of the city’s revitalization plan that established a framework of entry features including greenery and streetscape to build urban identity and provide “cues” that a visitor is entering the downtown core.

Earlier this year, Trail

council opted to defer the $135,000 major gateway features that were initially prime components of Phase 2 upgrades in an effort to balance a $327,000 budget shortfall.

When further project expenses exceeded the budget’s limit, Trail council agreed to defer an additional $205,000 in streetscape components including a Cedar Ave. information kiosk estimated to cost $57,000 and $8,000 worth of site furniture.

“We are getting into a bit of a bind financially folks,” said Coun. Gord DeRosa during budget talks. “And I think this is a year of a new council coming in and they are going to be facing some pretty steep hills.”

After project deferrals, the overall shortfall for Phase 2 is about $123,000, an amount council consented to pull from the city’s surplus funds account.

Boards hope for compromise

bat houses

By Sheri Regnier Times Staff

The boards of education have no power to either bring about a settlement or strongly influence a settlement between the province and teachers in the ongoing labour dispute, said Darrel Ganzert.

What the boards can do, including trustees on the School District 20 (SD20) panel, is protect public education and try their best to get school back in next month, continued SD20’s board chair.

“We are on the sidelines and we are limited to trying to protect public education,” explained Ganzert.

“The trustees’ objective and the will in our district as well is to get school back in session and offering a solution to a problem. It may not be fair to the teachers but what it does is get public school back in session in September.”

Ganzert said boards of education across the prov-

ince recognize the government is underfunding public education and its members have made numerous statements “time after time” over the matter.

Most recently, B.C.’s boards banded together and communicated, to both sides, back-to-school action that has one goal – to get students back in the classroom on schedule.

The boards of education ask teachers to recognize that the government has a mandate for wage increases and teachers fall within that mandate, explained Ganzert.

Additionally, board members ask the government that all money saved during the teacher’s job action be reinvested into the public education system.

“This is our suggestion to the government and the teachers,” said Ganzert.

“We’ve written numerous times to both parties asking them to protect public education. This is just one more step in that direction from

the trustees.”

The province’s 40,000 teachers launched a full-scale strike about two weeks before the end of the school year, calling for wage hikes and for the Ministry of Education to address issues such as class size and composition.

The union’s most recent proposal sought a salary hike and two multimillion-dollar funds to hire more teachers and resolve grievances, but provincial government officials said the proposals are not affordable when compared with other public sector workers.

Last week, B.C.’s finance minister announced a subsidy that would give parents $40 a day for child care tutoring or other educational options for children under 13 if the strike extends into the school year. The money would come from the $12 million the government saves each day that teachers are not in the classroom.

Smoky skies across Greater Trail

By Liz Bevan Times Staff

Photo Liz Bevan

Fruitvale firefighters were out at Haines Park on Wednesday afternoon to hang bat houses made by The Beaver Valley Youth Club last week. The club also made bee houses and bird houses to hang around the neighbourhood. The idea is to encourage bats, bees and birds to flourish in the area and help the environment.

It was a bit hazy in Trail on Thursday and Fanny Bernard, forest information officer with the Southeast Fire Zone, says it is hard to tell where it is coming from.

“We get that question a lot,” she said adding it's all about the weather. “There are so many fires burning across B.C., the States, the Northwest Territories and Alberta. Depending on the

weather patterns it is really hard to pinpoint where the smoke would be coming from on any given day. It depends on a lot of things, but mostly the dominant winds.”

Bernard suggested visiting www.bcairquality.ca/ blueskies to see a realtime forecast of where in the province is going to be the smokiest.

“It gives a graphic forecast for where the smoke is going to be,” she said. “They do a

forecast for every hour. It is a model.”

The British Columbia Ministry of Environment suggests a few ways to reduce the affect of the smoky skies on residents of the area.

In a media release, the ministry suggests stopping or reducing outdoor activities, especially if breathing becomes difficult.

They also urge people to stay cool and drinks lots of fluids.

Regional District suing Teck over HB mine site

By Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star

The Regional District of Central Kootenay has launched a lawsuit against Teck Resources Ltd. over contamination from a tailings pond near Salmo.

According to a statement of claim filed late last month with the BC Supreme Court in Vancouver, the regional district wants reimbursement for ongoing remediation work on the old HB mine site, which it bought for landfill purposes in 1998.

Teck, formerly Cominco, owned the property from 1955 to 1981 and operated the mine until 1978. The regional district says the contamination consists of lead, zinc, cadmium, and arsenic and

that “numerous” tailings releases occurred while the mine operated.

It also cited a 2007 incident in which flows from the tailings pond spread to a nearby property. In July 2012, heavy rain caused a sinkhole to form on the pond’s earthen dam. The regional district spent more than $800,000 stabilizing and reconstructing the dam, which it billed to the province.

It claims Teck “failed to take any steps … to prevent the migration of the contamination off of the property to the off-site areas” while the RDCK continues to incur costs for remediation.

It says that work includes building an engineered wetland to treat surface water,

groundwater monitoring, and completion of a containment berm to prevent leaching. However, it’s not clear from the statement of claim exactly how much taxpayers have been on the hook for.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

RDCK chair John Kettle said the lawsuit was filed only after “making every effort” to convince Teck the materials in the tailings pond are their responsibility, even though the company has not owned the property for more than 30 years.

“We believe when you create an environmental hazard like that, you can’t just sell it and walk away,” he said. “You’re liable for clean up. We intend to pursue that as

aggressively as possible. Their belief that caveat emptor applies is asinine.”

Teck said it had yet to receive the statement of claim, but in a written statement the company said it has a “long history” of working collaboratively with communities, including regional districts, municipalities and indigenous people.

“We will review the claim with counsel and we intend to respond in due course,” the company said.

At the time of the tailings dam problem in 2012, CBC News reported that the regional district paid $650,000 more for the site than the previous owner, a Panamanian company that purchased it only a year earlier.

Methadone treatment for drug Mine sought second addiction saves lives and money water release increase

Report lauds opioid treatment

THE CANADIAN PRESS VICTORIA - The provincial methadone program for treating addictions to heroin, morphine and oxycodone saves both lives and money, says a new report from British Columbia’s medical health officer.

Dr. Perry Kendall’s report released Thursday states the mortality rate for people in opioid substitution treatment is about half of what it is for those using street heroin.

The rate of death for those using methadone or Suboxone has fallen to 1.1 per 100 person years compared with 2.09 per 100 person years for those getting their opioids from the street, the report said.

“Greater access to opioid substitution treatment, along

with other harm reduction initiatives, has helped contribute to the lower incidence of HIV infection among people who inject drugs,” Kendall’s report concluded.

The report also said the annual per-patient costs for treatment programs in B.C. is about $4,200 compared with as much as $45,000 in Ontario and the United States for those with untreated opioid addictions.

The B.C. costs include physician, pharmacy and drug costs, while the costs from Ontario and the United States include estimated health care, law enforcement and other social costs.

“I am encouraged by the findings in this report that indicate that B.C.’s opioid substitution treatment system is saving patients’ lives and saving the health-care sys-

tem and society money,” said Health Minister Terry Lake in a news release.

The provincial treatment program now extends beyond Vancouver with 3,000 pharmacists participating and almost 350 physicians prescribing methadone or Suboxone in the reporting year.

The report says 15,754 B.C. residents were involved in the opioid substitution treatment program between 2012 and 2013, a 66 per cent increase from 2007 and 2008.

The Fraser Health Authority was treating the most patients at more than 6,700.

The B.C. substitution treatment system is supported by the Ministry of Health, Pharmacare, the college of Physicians and surgeons of B.C. and the College of Pharmicists of B. C.

Mine warned about high pond levels

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Mount Polley Mine management was awaiting a second permit amendment from the B.C. government to increase water released from its tailings facilities when the tailings pond dam breached in the early hours of Aug. 4.

Ministry of Environment records show the mine has had an effluent permit since 1997, and has operated since startup with a water surplus due to precipitation. In 2009 the company applied to amend the permit to allow discharge of up to 1.4 million cubic meters of water a year to discharge dam seepage effluent into Hazeltine Creek.

That permit was approved in 2012 after an independent report was commissioned to examine water quality impacts from sediment and contaminants, and measures needed to control them.

With the mine and its tailings facilities expanding and an exhausted pit being converted to underground mining, Mount Polley applied for another amendment to discharge up to three million cubic meters of treated water to Polley Lake.

“That application was received by the ministry this summer and is being considered,” the Ministry of Environment said in a statement Wednesday.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said Mount Polley mine does not have acidproducing rock, which reacts with contaminants such as arsenic and mercury and allows them to mix with water.

Bennett was on site this week with mine inspectors and environment ministry staff.

“We will find out if the company was not in compliance,” Bennett said Wednesday. “If they were hiding anything, if they made mistakes in building the dam higher, we will find out and hold them to account.”

Brian Kynoch, president of parent company Imperial Metals, was asked about the latest permit amendment at a public meeting in Likely Tuesday, where residents were shocked at the devastation and worried about the water quality in their lakes and rivers.

“I think we’re about to get the increase,” Kynoch said.

Kynoch said the

breach did not occur at the highest point of the tailings dam, where water pressure was greatest, and the pond level was 2.5 metres below the top of the dam at the time.

Ministry records show Mount Polley was warned about high pond levels May 24, with the level returning to authorized levels by June 30. In April the company was issued an advisory about bypass of authorized treatment works due to high water flows in the spring runoff period.

Samples of tailings pond water taken Aug. 4 showed selenium concentration 2.8 times the drinking water guideline.

Concentration of nitrates, cadmium, copper, iron and selenium have occasionally exceeded aquatic life guidelines in recent years.

The permit required water volume not to exceed 35 per cent of the creek flow to dilute it.

Russia bans food imports from Canada

THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - Russia is responding to fresh sanctions from Canada, the U.S. and other countries with a ban on food imports for a year, as well as threatening airspace retaliation.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says the ban covers meat, fish, milk and milk products and fruit and vegetables from Canada, the U.S., the European Union, Australia and Norway.

“For a long time, Russia has not responded to the so-called sanctions declared against it by certain countries,” Medvedev told a government meeting.

“Until the last moment,

we hoped that our foreign colleagues would realize that sanctions lead to a blind alley, and that no one benefits from them. But they didn’t realize this, and now we have been forced to respond.”

The move comes a day after Canada slapped new sanctions and travel bans on several top Russian and Ukrainian politicians and groups with ties to Putin’s government.

In Canada, pork producers are expected to take the biggest hit from the Russian sanctions. Canada’s agricultural exports to Russia amounted to $563 million in 2012, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, mostly from frozen

pork.

Canada’s latest sanctions against Russia, imposed in tandem with the U.S. and the EU, came amid reports the Russians are amassing thousands of troops along the Ukrainian border.

Russian President Vladimir Putin retaliated by ordering authorities to draft a list of agricultural products from countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia.

Medvedev said Russia is also considering banning Western carriers from flying over Russia on flights to and from Asia - a move that would significantly hike costs and increase flight time. He said a decision on that hasn’t been

made yet.

“I’d like to emphasize that all these measures are not being introduced yet, but otherwise can be implemented either separately or together. As a result, the expenses of Western airlines will grow significantly,” he said.

Industry Minister James Moore said the world needs to continue to “stand firm” against Russia, despite the escalation of sanctions.

While the government will assess how seriously the sanctions could impact the Canadian economy, “we will not be intimidated by these kinds of tactics,” Moore said in Montreal.

‘Pivot’ program to lure skilled workers THE CANADIAN PRESS WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. - Stalled immigration reforms in the United States are an opportunity for Canada to scoop up a wealth of young, “brilliant” foreign nationals and direct them into burgeoning tech-sector employment, the federal employment minister said Wednesday.

Minister Jason Kenney heartily endorsed his government’s efforts to entice educated immigrants north of the 49th parallel as a direct counter to American policy obstacles to settling down there after earning highly-prized degrees.

“We’re seeking very deliberately to benefit from the dysfunctional American immigration system. I make no bones about it,” Kenney emphatically told reporters at a West Vancouver news conference, where he was announcing funding to help skilled newcomers get certified to work in Canada.

Kenney said the government has no concerns about aspiring to capitalize off the “super smart” graduates being produced in the U.S., where tens of thousands of young people from around the world attend prestigious schools like Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of California.

He said Canada will promote “very aggressively” the opportunities it provides, including its budding

start-up visa program and incoming fast-track program to permanent residency, to entrepreneurs wanting to launch companies but finding themselves blocked from obtaining green cards.

Last month, federal Immigration Minister Chris Alexander was in Vancouver to celebrate the 17-month-old visa program’s milestone of accepting its first two applicants. The government has said it will issue a maximum of 2,750 visas for each year of the five-year pilot, which is limited to entrepreneurs who already have the backing of a venture capital firm in Canada.

“If the United States doesn’t want to open the door to permanent residency for them, that door will be opened in principle for them to come to Canada,” Kenney said.

Just over a year ago, Kenney travelled to the San Francisco

Bay area where Silicon Valley has already claimed an estimated 350,000 Canadians and campaigned for foreign talent. The federal government had just erected a massive billboard, emblazoned with a giant red maple leaf, advertising directly to foreign nationals saddled with visa

Kenney said on Wednesday the “Pivot to Canada” billboard mounted in California in May 2013 generated “massive interest and buzz” in the Silicon Valley tech sector.

pushback from the U.S. for openly courting its grads in the face of impassioned U.S. debate on the issue, Kenney said he has raised the government’s objectives “very openly” in Washington.

“And the (U.S.) advocates for immigration reform have used Canada’s activity there and the Silicon Valley (scenario) as an argument for comprehensive immigration reform in Washington,” he said.

“We’ll leave that to the Congress and (U.S. President Barack Obama) to resolve, that’s their policy domain, not ours.”

drive for global talent he initiated while immigration minister came as he made another in a series of announcements aimed at improving recognition of foreign credentials.

The minister attended a library in West Vancouver to reveal a $3.3 million funding package for the British Columbia government, aimed at matching more skilled immigrants with work.

The cash is slated to fund more than 30 projects meant to remove barriers faced by newcomers who are trained overseas, with a particular focus in B.C. on the energy and resource sectors.

THE CANADIAN PRESS EDMONTON - Alberta’s auditor general says former premier Alison Redford and her office used public resources inappropriately.

Merwan Saher concludes that they consistently failed to demonstrate that travel expenses were necessary and a reasonable and appropriate use of taxpayer money.

He says Redford used public assets, including government aircraft, for personal and partisan purposes.

“Overall, the expense practices and use of public assets by premier Redford and her office have fallen short of publicly stated goals,” Saher wrote in a report Thursday.

“How could this happen? The answer is the aura of power around premier Redford and her office and the perception that the influence of the office should not be questioned.”

Saher also says that Redford was involved in a plan to add a premier’s suite to a government building being renovated near the legislature.

Saher makes the conclusions in a review of Redford’s travel expenses and use of government aircraft.

He lays the blame squarely on Redford and her staff.

“It would be wrong for anyone to extrapolate our findings and conclusions to the public service of Alberta as a whole.”

Redford resigned as premier in March as a caucus revolt brewed over her leadership style and lavish spending.

She resigned her seat as a backbencher Wednesday and in a letter acknowledged mistakes were made during her time in office.

She said she would not be commenting further.

Premier David Hancock, who has had the report since Friday, said he wants the RCMP to review Saher’s findings.

T

he Heartland Institute’s recent International Climate Change Conference in Las Vegas illustrates climate change deniers’ desperate confusion. As Bloomberg News noted, “Heartland’s strategy seemed to be to throw many theories at the wall and see what stuck.”

A who’s who of fossil fuel industry supporters and anti-science shills variously argued that global warming is a myth; that it’s happening but natural – a result of the sun or “Pacific Decadal Oscillation”; that it’s happening but we shouldn’t worry about it; or that global cooling is the real problem.

The only common thread, Bloomberg reported, was the preponderance of attacks on and jokes about Al Gore: “It rarely took more than a minute or two before one punctuated the swirl of opaque and occasionally conflicting scientific theories.”

Personal attacks are common among deniers.

Their lies are continually debunked, leaving them with no rational challenge to overwhelming scientific evidence that the world is

warming and that humans are largely responsible.

Comments under my columns about global warming include endless repetition of falsehoods like “there’s been no warming for 18 years”, “it’s the sun”, and references to “communist misanthropes”, “libtard warmers”, alarmists and worse . . .

Far worse. Katharine Hayhoe, director of Texas Tech’s Climate Science Center and an evangelical Christian, had her email inbox flooded with hate mail and threats after conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh denounced her, and right-wing blogger Mark Morano published her email address. “I got an email the other day so obscene I had to file a police report,” Hayhoe said in an interview on the Responding to Climate Change website. “They mentioned my child. It had all kinds of sexual perversions in it – it just makes your skin crawl.”

One email chastised her for taking “a man’s job” and called for her public execution, finishing with, “If you have a child, then women in the future will be even more leery of lying to get ahead, when they see your

baby crying next to the basket next to the guillotine.”

Many attacks came from fellow Christians unable to accept that humans can affect “God’s creation”.

That’s a belief held even by a few well-known scientists and others held up as climate experts, including Roy Spencer, David Legates and Canadian economist Ross McKitrick. They’ve signed the Cornwall Alliance’s Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming, which says, “We believe Earth and its ecosystems – created

by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying

His glory. Earth’s climate system is no exception.”

This world view predetermines their approach to the science.

Lest you think nasty, irrational comments are exclusively from fringe elements, remember the gathering place for most deniers, the Heartland Institute, has compared those who accept the evidence for human-caused climate change to terrorists.

Similar language was used to describe the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a full-page ad in USA Today and Politico from the Environmental Policy Alliance, a front group set up by PR firm Berman and Company, which has attacked environmentalists, labour-rights advocates, health organizations – even Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Humane Society – on behalf of funders and clients including Monsanto, Wendy’s and tobacco giant Phillip Morris. The terrorism meme was later picked up by Pennsylvania Republican congressman Mike Kelly.

Fortunately, most people don’t buy irrational attempts to disavow sci-

ence. A Forum Research poll found 81 per cent of Canadians accept the reality of global warming, and 58 per cent agree it’s mostly human-caused.

An Ipsos MORI poll found that, although the U.S. has a higher number of climate change deniers than 20 countries surveyed, 54 per cent of Americans believe in human-caused climate change. (Research also shows climate change denial is most prevalent in English-speaking countries, especially in areas “served” by media outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch, who rejects climate science.)

It’s time to shift attention from those who sow doubt and confusion, either out of ignorance or misanthropic greed, to those who want to address a real, serious problem. The BBC has the right idea, instructing its reporters to improve accuracy by giving less air time to people with antiscience views, including climate change deniers.

Solutions exist, but every delay makes them more difficult and costly.

that would dramatically slow the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Far fewer prescriptions should be written for antibiotics, and doctors should be monitored to ensure that they are not over-prescribing.

Patients must complete any course of antibiotics that they begin, and report that they have done so. Over-the-counter sales of antibiotics in countries like China and Russia must cease.

Above all, it should be a criminal offence to feed antibiotics to animals just to make them grow faster and bigger.

(That is where 80 percent of the antibiotics consumed in the United States go at the moment.) And even when all that has been done, the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria will continue, though at a much slower pace. Bacterial resistance is an evolutionary process that can only be slowed, not stopped.

So we desperately need new antibiotics, and there are none forthcoming. Without them, warned Dame Sally Davies, chief medical officer for England, “Modern medicine would quickly go out of the window.”

Almost all surgery, including things as commonplace as caesarian sections and hip replacements, and most cancer treatments as well, involve a significant risk of infection that must be controlled by antibiotics. As Prime Minister Davd Cameron told “The Times”: “If we fail to act...we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine, where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again.”

Yet Big Pharma will not fill the gap, for those companies are answerable to their shareholders, not to the public. The case for direct state intervention to finance the development of the vaccines and antibiotics that the commercial sector neglects is overwhelming. And very urgent.

Mystery writer also a ‘Grand Master’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Dorothy Salisbury Davis, a prizewinning mystery writer whose books include the bestselling “A Gentle Murderer” and numerous other works praised for their psychological suspense, has died. She was 98.

Longtime friend Laurie Ferguson told The Associated Press that Davis died Sunday at the Esplanade at Palisades, a senior residence facility in Palisades, New York. Ferguson said Davis had been in failing health for months. Davis’ husband, the actor Harry Davis, died in 1993. They had no children.

A native of Chicago, Davis was nominated several times for the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Award, and was named an MWA “Grand Master” in 1985. Her other books included “The Little Brothers” and “Shock Waves.” Her stories were often anthologized, most recently in the 2013 release “Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives.”

EARL LYNN NELSON

‘Land Ho!’ star, a surgeon by day

THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - “Land Ho!” star Earl Lynn Nelson picks up the phone for a telephone interview and declares he’s just finished surgery - not undergoing it, but performing it.

An oculoplastic surgeon in Kentucky, he’s in the operating room three days a week and has only been in three films, including “Land Ho!”, which opens Friday in Toronto and Aug. 15 in Vancouver.

Acting is more of a fun thing he likes to do for filmmaker Martha Stephens, whose mother is his first cousin.

“I’ve known Martha since she was born and I could hold her in one of my hands,” he says in his thick southern drawl from his office in Ashland, Ky. “She thinks I’m a good character in movies.”

Indeed, the jocular doc is a natural onscreen.

In “Land Ho!” the 72-yearold steals the show as a

boisterous, bawdy southern American who goes on a soul-searching trip through Iceland with his reserved and sensitive ex-brother-in-law, played by veteran Australian actor Paul Eenhoorn.

“He’s a really big guy, in all ways,” Eenhoorn said of Nelson. “He’s a force of nature, I’ll put it that way.”

It’s Stephens’ third film with Nelson after 2010’s “Passenger Pigeons” and 2012’s “Pilgrim Song.”

“Martha wanted to shoot something with Earl Lynn in the lead and they thought that I would be perfect foil for his alter ego sort of thing, and it really worked. Martha was right,” said Eenhoorn.

The filmmakers shot the opening cottage scene at Nelson’s Seattle home. The rest of the story was filmed in Iceland.

The gregarious Nelson had no trouble breaking the ice with Eenhoorn during the initial shoot.

“We stood in front of my freezer and I popped open

a Mason jar and had some moonshine, and then I gave him a couple of shots of tequila,” he says.

“I really genuinely feel like Paul is a good friend of mine now.”

The story has a strong sense of realism as the filmmakers allow full conversations and scenarios to unfold between the characters in a way that makes it seem as if much of it is improvised.

Nelson’s character, Mitch, seems to mirror his own personality. And he admits the filmmakers drew on his persona and consulted him as they wrote Mitch’s lines.

Still, he insists Mitch isn’t entirely him.

“There was a couple of people who didn’t like me in the movie, that I was boisterous and I was loud-mouthed, I was a sexist,” he says, referring to the film’s debut at the Sundance Film Festival.

“The thing is, that was my part in the movie. It wasn’t me.”

Nelson, who does plastic

and reconstructive surgery around the eyes and the eyebrows, says his patients are getting a kick out of his moonlighting gig.

“I had this one guy I operated here on here about four or five weeks ago. He came to the office - he’s the principal of a high school here - and he said, ‘The people at the school didn’t believe that a movie star operated on me.”’

But he isn’t sure how far he wants to take this acting thing.

“People ask me if I would do other movies and I say ‘Yeah, I’d do other movies, but I’m not going to fly to California to audition for a movie, I’m not going to fly to New York to audition for a movie.’ If you want to do a video or something like that, if you want me to do a movie, I don’t mind that.

“But I’m not going to fly around the world auditioning for parts, because I like my day job. I like to do surgery, it’s my passion.”

Welcome elcome to the driver’s seat

Visit the 2015 Escalade gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

An Escalade worth the wait Cadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville.

This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious hotels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray.

Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at Toronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part.

With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.

Extreme marathon: local runners run the Rockies

BY LIZ BEVAN Times Staff

Running 120 miles in just a few days doesn't seem like a vacation to most, but Heather Johnson and her husband, Chris Kent, are hopping a plane to Colorado to do just that.

Starting on Tuesday, the couple will be embarking on a journey called the TransRockies Run, lasting six days and covering 120 miles, and they will be running the whole way.

Johnson has done the race before, but it will be a first for her husband.

“I did it a few years ago with a friend of mine but now I am going back for more with my husband this time,” she said, adding that her first run came as a surprise. “I had done a marathon and a bunch of half marathons in the past, and my friend had a different partner (who backed out) so she called me up...and it sounded amazing.”

The race runs over different terrain from desert-like climates to a 20,000 feet elevation gain to the top of the Colorado Rockies and to train, Johnson and her husband run, run and run some more.

“Basically we run about six or seven days a week,” she said.

“We do two really long runs on the weekend anywhere from twoto-five hours and climb as many hills as we can and just beat ourselves up.”

Part of their practice includes running at high altitudes to train their bodies.

“When you are running at high altitudes, there is less oxygen and your blood chemistry kind of compensates for it,” she said. “You make more red blood cells and your body gets better at removing lactic acid from your system.”

Heather Johnson and her husband Chris Kent are heading to Colorado on Monday to participate in the Trans Rockies Run. It is an extreme marathon where runners run in two to five hour sections over six days.

Milos Raonic only Canadian remaining in Rogers Cup CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Milos Raonic wasn’t at his best but was relieved to stay alive at the Rogers Cup on Wednesday night while top seeded Novak Djokovic was eliminated Thursday.

Despite a serve that was intimidating but not perfect and some erratic play, Raonic won two tiebreaks to beat American Jack Sock 4-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4) on centre court Wednesday night at Rexall Centre.

“All the difficulties getting through that match, facing break points two of

my service games consecutively, doing a poor job in converting the chances I had,” Raonic said. “All those things that maybe if it doesn’t go your way you would’ve said, ‘I wish I did this differently, and this and this in these situations,’ all that, let’s say weight that might be on your shoulders, it’s the relief of that just sort of getting off.”

Amid chants of “Let’s Go Milos,” Raonic kept Canadian hope alive in the tournament. On Tuesday, all four men who played singles were eliminated, and Eugenie Bouchard bowed out in Montreal.

Raonic cranked his serve up past 200 kilometres per hour, finishing with 15 aces that helped offset some struggles against Sock, who played some of his best tennis even in defeat. Raonic won 79 per cent of his first-serve points, below his stellar average, and failing to be perfect cost him the first set.

The 23-year-old held serve in the second set before blowing Sock out in the tiebreak. Raonic needed another tiebreak - this one tenser - to finish off the match.

“When you play him, usually when you get down a break, it usually means the

set’s over,” Sock said. “That’s why he kind of is where he is though, he kind of comes up big in those moments.”

Meanwhile, top seed Djokovic was eliminated after a 6-2, 6-2 loss to No. 13 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France.

Serving on match point, Tsonga clinched the win when a Djokovic return went wide.

Tsonga’s serve on the Toronto hardcourt gave Djokovic plenty of trouble. The Frenchman had only had eight aces, but Djokovic continually struggled to keep his returns in bounds.

Lawrie off Jays’ roster with strained oblique

The Canadian Press Brett Lawrie could be out almost a month with a strained left oblique, Toronto Blue Jays general manager

Alex Anthopoulos said.

Lawrie, who felt pain during batting practice before his return to the lineup Tuesday and left the game after three

innings, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday.

Before Thursday night’s game, Anthopoulos said the

REGISTER NOW: WWW.TRAILKIDNEYWALK.CA

team wasn’t expecting Lawrie to be back until September.

Lawrie suffered an oblique strain in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, and though Anthopoulos said it’s on the same side, it’s not the same injury.

The third baseman had just missed six

weeks with a broken right index finger. The oblique strain is at least the ninth injury he has had during three-plus seasons in the major leagues.

With Lawrie out, Danny Valencia was penciled in to start at third base in the series finale against the

Baltimore Orioles.

Manager John Gibbons said his plan was to split time between Valencia and Juan Francisco once Adam Lind and Edwin Encarnacion return.

Lind, who has been out with a fractured right foot, could be back as soon

as Monday, according to Anthopoulos.

Encarnacion could also return next week, Anthopoulos said.

For Thursday night’s game, the Blue Jays filled Lawrie’s spot on the roster by recalling left-handed reliever Rob Rasmussen from Triple-A Buffalo.

religion Hollywood cashes in on faith-based movies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE - It’s the Hollywood ending every studio wants: Low-cost production and high returns at the box office.

Filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick seem to have the formula down - grossing nearly $80 million on four films made for less than $4 million combined. Only thing is the Kendrick brothers work far from Hollywood and, outside the world of Christian-themed cinema, many have never heard of their films.

That could change.

Increasingly, major studios appear to be taking a leap for faith-based audiences with biblical epics such as “Noah” starring Russell Crowe, the planned December release of “Exodus” and a remake of “Ben-Hur” for early 2016.

At one point in April, there were four faithbased movies in the Top 20 at the box office, including “Heaven Is for Real,” about a 4-year-old boy’s account of his trip to heaven. It has grossed more than $99 million on a production budget of $12 million by Sony Pictures.

“Hollywood has taken note,” said DeVon Franklin, former Sony senior vice-president of production, who oversaw “Heaven Is for Real.”

The Kendrick brothers - who just wrapped up filming their fifth project - are making movies that could see wider release as distributors pay attention to the box office trends in the traditional Bible Belt and beyond.

Their latest film, which has yet to have a title, centres on a family realizing the power of prayer.

“The point is not racing to see how many movies we can produce,” said Alex Kendrick, in a telephone interview from Charlotte, North Carolina. “The point is to take the time, in prayer and research, to make a solid film and get the most ministry out of it before moving to the next one.”

The Kendricks began with a tiny production company with their pastor at Sherwood Baptist, but decided to strike out on their own with their fifth film. The brothers say the separation was amicable and necessary for them to grow as filmmakers and recruit actors and crew nationwide.

In previous movies, the brothers mostly used volunteers from their church though one of their more popular movies, “Fireproof,” did include Kirk Cameron, a veteran actor memorably known starting in the 80s for his youthful role in a popular TV sitcom, Growing Pains.

“The people we’ve gotten to meet who have expertise in areas that we have needed help have come to the table,” said Stephen Kendrick. “And we’re growing as filmmakers.”

They’re also giving back. The brothers are using the fruits of their success to help up-andcoming filmmakers with projects, as well as mentor a younger generation of hopefuls. During their recent filming, they brought in about 20 interns from different universities who worked under professionals involved in the making of the film.

“We believe every generation needs to be pouring into and investing in the next generation,” Stephen Kendrick said. “Hopefully, they’ll be able to stand on our shoulders one day and make even better movies.”

The Kendricks - both ministers who sport saltand-pepper beards - grew up in suburban Atlanta and now live in Albany in southwestern Georgia.

They are still part of the ministry team at the Sherwood megachurch. Along with the church’s senior pastor, Michael Catt, they created Sherwood Pictures in 2002 and scraped together $20,000 to put out their first film, “Flywheel,” in 2003 about a dishonest used car salesman who learns integrity.

With a budget of $100,000, the company released “Facing the Giants” in 2006. That film about having courage amid adversity - ended up grossing more than $10 million, appearing in a little over 400 theatres primarily in the South.

Then came “Fireproof,” a story about a couple struggling to make their marriage work. That movie was made with a budget of just $500,000 and grossed over $33 million.

Are we going to follow Hananiah or Jeremiah?

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.

“Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘O man of little faith, why did you doubt?’

And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased” (Matt.

14:31-32).

This is the episode of Jesus and Peter walking on the sea.

Jesus first came to his disciples, who were in a boat, by himself walking over the water toward them, when there was a strong wind in the middle of the night. Seeing him, St. Peter also wanted to walk on the water toward Jesus. When Jesus invited him, he set out. “But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ‘Lord, save me.’ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘O man of little faith, why did you doubt?’” (Matt. 14:30-31). Thus he was saved from the wind and the waves and did not sink and drown in the sea.

Such is the Christian life. There are storms caused by our sins and infidelity to our vocation and way of life. When we do not obey God, he punishes us, and we begin to sink in the water, as did Peter when he doubted. But when he cried out, “Lord, save me,” “Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘O man of little faith, why did you doubt?’” (Matt. 14:30-31). Thus he saved him from the sea and the wind. He did not sink and drown in the sea.

When we begin to doubt and falter in our following of Jesus, we begin to sink. Then it is like in the first reading, where the false prophet Hananiah failed to understand the

situation that Judah was in. He did not understand the seriousness of their sins and infidelity in going after the forbidden fruit of false gods, and he did not understand that submission to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon was God’s punishment for their infidelity. So instead of preaching repentance so that the city would not be destroyed and the temple burnt, he preached good times for Judah.

Jeremiah, however, preached the truth, that Judah would be destroyed together with the temple and the city if the nation did not repent of their idolatry and infidelity as the chosen people of God and change their ways. Jeremiah warned the people to repent or else ..., while the false prophet said nothing about any need to repent, and only promised them that in two years time all their problems would be over. But it did not turn out as he prophesied.

The nation did not repent or change its ways, and it was destroyed by the king of Babylon.

And whom are we going to follow, the false prophet, or Jeremiah? Are we going to continue ahead as we are now doing, and be destroyed by our vocations crisis, believing that things will soon get better; or are we going to repent, change our ways, correct our errors and abuses, and be saved? Are we going to continue imitating the lifestyle of the world around us, and be destroyed; or are we going to repent and correct our errors, and live? Are we going to lose our faith, falter, and sink in the sea; or are we going to be faithful, and survive? The choice is ours. © Copyright 2007-2009 Rev. Steven Scherrer www.DailyBiblicalSermons.com

ical attention. Once, the biological father brought him home so sick that he missed a week of school.

Over the summer, his biological father tried to teach him to use the lawn mower, but the child refused because his mother told him (rightfully) that it is too dangerous and he is too little. As a result, he was sent to his room in the basement.

My gut tells me they are trying to injure the child, and I have serious doubts about their sincerity in wanting a relationship. My daughter’s lawyer has been contacted, but is there anything we can do in the interim to protect the boy from such hor-

eal. The pediatrician said, “Maybe he’s allergic to the wheat in the cereal.

Give him Benadryl.” We didn’t know that “allergic to wheat” was serious or that wheat was in almost everything in our pantry, from BBQ sauce to root beer, cereals, potato chips, candy, hand cream, shampoo and sunblock. The early reactions were just hives.

There was no thought of converting our kitchen or segregating him at school.

The first anaphylactic reaction came at age 4.

The ER doctors explained cross-contamination. We were told to read all food labels and always carry EpiPens. At age 13, our son now cautiously sits at the school lunch table with his friends and goes to ballgames, overnight camp and select restaurants. We continue to be vigilant. One crumb of wheat in his mouth would lead us to the ER. We are hopeful that somewhere in the universe someone will find a cure for this life-threat-

ening and life-altering allergy.

We would like to share some resources about food allergies with your readers. Please suggest they contact: Mothers of Children Having Allergies (mochallergies.org); Food Allergy Research and

Education (foodallergy. org) (this is a merger of the Food Allergy Initiative and Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network); the Stanford Alliance for Food Allergy Research (foodallergies.stanford.edu); the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and

Immunology (aaaai.org/ conditions-and-treatments/allergies/foodallergies.aspx). -- B. in Chicago Dear B.: Thank you so much for this excellent information on food allergies. We hope our readers will take advantage of these resources.

Annie’s

rible abuse? -- Worried Grandma Dear Worried: Based on your information, we’re not certain this qualifies as “horrible abuse.” It seems more like neglect combined with incompetent parenting skills. The biological father and his parents have no clue how to properly treat or raise a 5-year-old boy. The lawyer should go to the judge immediately with whatever documentation he has and ask for supervised visitation, and possibly mandate that the biological father take parenting classes. If you believe the boy is truly being abused, contact the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4224453.

Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the letter about celiac disease. I hope you have space for a letter about children who are severely food allergic.

Food allergies were not part of our world in 1999. That is when our baby developed hives after eating mixed cer-

2014 Conceptis Puzzles, Dist. by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Dear Annie: My daughter was recently ordered by the court to have her 5-year-old son visit his biological father and grandparents every other weekend. They live 200 miles away.

The boy has always lived with his mother, because the biological father felt he was not ready to be a dad and deserted them. He and his parents cut off contact for five years, and now they have decided they want to spend time with the boy.

Here’s the disturbing part. When at their house, my grandson is not permitted to eat at the family table. He eats at a small table in the corner. He’s only permitted to eat or drink at certain times, he cannot phone his mother when he wants, he sleeps in a room in the basement, he must call the grandparents by specific names or they won’t speak to him, and most recently, he came home with so many mosquito bites that he required med-

YourByhoroscope Francis Drake For Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For some reason, children are an increased responsibility for you today. Or you might feel overwhelmed with social obligations or something to do with the arts or the entertainment world. Courage!

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Relations with partners and family members are not easy today. Someone older or more experienced will block your wishes. You can’t do anything about this today.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be worried about something today, because you sense that something will be difficult. Obstacles block your path. Just wait a few days, and try again.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Financial matters look bleak today. (Why is there

always so much month left at the end of the money?)

You cannot push things through. Just wait.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Duties and responsibilities loom large today. In fact, life might seem depressing and restrictive. Just cope until things lighten up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Physically and psychologically, your energies are at a low ebb right now. If you are aware of this, don’t push the river. Just wait until things change before you move.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone older or in a position of authority might restrict you now or block your efforts. Naturally, this is discouraging. But things look worse than they really are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to challenge authority figures -bosses, parents, teachers or

the police. Today they hold the upper hand. (But this will not always be the case.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans look difficult today. If you can avoid travel, this would be best. Don’t push to get your way in matters regarding publishing, media, medicine and the law.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is not a good day to

make decisions about inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. Things will flow against you. Postpone these discussions for at least a week, or longer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Tread softly in discussions with bosses, partners and good friends, because things will not flow smoothly. Others will block your plans and wishes. Knowing this ahead of time, why even

begin?

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to get your way at work. Someone will tell you why you cannot do something. It’s discouraging, but it’s a temporary reality.

YOU BORN TODAY You can be a tower of strength for others. Although a natural leader, you’re an excellent team player as well. You are skilled at debate and can
