Work begins on flood mitigation Digging and vegetation clearing underway along creek, demolition of Uptown building planned for August KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

This fall and winter city officials hope to see potential flooding on lower Third Avenue averted once a long-awaited project is complete.

Work began this week on the Dry Creek Flood Mitigation project that has been in the planning process since 2013. Earlier this year, the city acquired four parcels of land needed for the project, which includes channel improvement and the construction of a culvert.

“The project started with clearing and grubbing,” said city engineer Guy Cicon.

The resulting channel improvements will increase the flood resiliency of the area, Cicon said.

Dry Creek runs under the former Jade Restaurant on Third Avenue, which the city recently purchased from owners Joe and Susanna Eng. The building will be demolished in August to make way for the construction of a culvert.

Improved channels will run behind Smitty’s Restaurant.

Cicon said the purpose of the

project is to improve the flow capacity and capability of Dry Creek. The aim is to not only reduce risk of flooding, but to help maintain salmon populations by keeping water levels at a sustainable level for fish.

“It will include enhanced fish rearing pools to give them the opportunity to survive the hot summers,” Cicon said.

The fry were removed prior to construction.

Cicon said the city has $2.73 million allocated in the budget for the project.

Two-thirds of the funding came from the provincial and federal governments while the balance was municipal.

Local contractor Bowerman Excavating was chosen for the job based on the company submitting the lowest tender, Cicon said.

The project is expected to be completed this fall and residents can expect minimal traffic delays or detours once the demolition of the Jade Restaurant begins in August.

T

he Hawaii Mars water bomber took to the skies over Sproat Lake again this week in a flight training program for Chinese pilots.

Fourteen flight school students from China travelled to Port Alberni to test fly the Hawaii Mars with the International Test Pilot School, a program based in London, Ont. The school contracted the flying boat with Coulson Flying Tankers, which owns and operates the Martin Mars bombers.

Four of the Chinese students are pilots, either with the government or Chinese companies.

The group includes nine engineers and one interpreter, in addition to the ITPS instructors.

The Chinese pilots and flight engineers are working with the ITPS in preparation for the TA-600 series of large amphibious “flying boat” airplanes currently under construction in China.

The TA-600, powered by four turboprop engines, will be used for search and rescue operations and fighting wildfires.

“They’re going to learn how to handle the water taxiing in the

[Mars] airplane,” said Wayne Coulson, CEO of Coulson Flying Tankers. “What it’s like to take off a big four-engine airplane.”

“This has been in the works for the last couple of years,” said Mayco Noel, manager for Coulson Flying Tankers.

The Mars was made flightready this year in preparation for the Chinese pilots, Noel add-

ed. It was a coincidence that the water bomber could also be contracted by the province to fight forest fires for this summer, which has seen a greater need than previous years with heat and drought causing a large number of wildfires early in the season – including the Dog Mountain blaze on Sproat Lake this month.

Test flights for the Chinese pilots aboard the Hawaii Mars began on Monday, with morning and afternoon flights each day this week.

The plane took off from Sproat Lake, landing again after about two hours in the air.

Scooping water from lakes is some of the trickiest handling with the Mars bombers, Tryggvason noted.

As it scoops – collecting upwards of 27,000 litres – the nose tends to pitch down, he said. It tends to pitch up when dumping that water on a fire, with a sudden shift in weight.

“We’ve focused on the water handling,” said ITPS test pilot instructor Bjarni Tryggvason (who, incidentally, is a retired Canadian Space Agency astronaut and flew on the NASA Discovery shuttle in 1997). “You want to establish essentially the [controls] of the airplane,” he said, noting the Hawaii Mars is the only airplane in the world with a comparable size and handling to the TA-600s.

In fact the newer planes are about two thirds the size of the old bomber, which was originally built in 1945.

Tsunami Hawgs Bike Fest in town Motorcycle riders and supporters gather for family-friendly fundraiser in Port Alberni this weekend KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Shiny chrome, black tires and loud engines will be seen and heard on the top of Third Avenue on Saturday.

A group of motorcycle enthusiasts are convening for a cause with the first Tsunami Hawgs Bike Fest.

The family-friendly event was spear-headed by Cindy Sjoholm months ago as a part of her fundraising role with the Port Alberni Shelter Society. With a goal of organizing the largest fundraiser for the Society, she decided to think outside the box.

“I ride, so I came up with this,” Sjoholm said. “I wanted to make it unique and named it after [the tsunami]” in Port Alberni, she said.

The highlight of the event will be a Show ‘N’ Shine of motorcycles.

There will be a class for children 13 and under and the winner will walk away with a prize for the coolest biker.

Up and down the street, more than 20 local and out-of-town

vendors will set up wares for sale. For children there will be face painting and a fish pond and for adults, the Port Alberni Eagles are hosting a casino at 2:00 p.m. in the former video store on Mar Street.

Lunch will be available through a chili cook-off contest. Businesses and restaurants are entering their favourite recipes and with the purchase of a ticket, attendees can taste and vote for the winners.

Sjoholm said the support has been overwhelming.

“All of the bike entries and vendors are by donation,” she said. “The Blue Marlin is providing entertainment for the evening. Everyone is trying to

make this a success.”

She said it is expected to be a casual and fun event and runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

Third Avenue between Argyle and Mar streets will be blocked from traffic.

Chinese pilot impressed with Hawaii Mars bomber’s age Was a government worker to certify planes in China BOMBER, from Page 3

“I was surprised,” said Zhao Zhiqiang, one of the four Chinese pilots, when he heard how old the airplane was.

“It’s interesting, really interesting...this airplane is huge. It’s still workable, very stable.” Zhiqiang is a civilian worker for the government in China, and is one of a few students in the program who speaks English.

It’s not his first time in Canada, Zhiqiang says: he flew a Bombardier

plane in Montreal three years ago for China Eastern airlines. Zhiqiang plans to fly the TA-600s when they are finished to certify them for official use by the government and Chinese companies.

ITPS began with the Chinese flight students in Ontario, flying smaller planes for 150 hours before travelling to Port Alberni to fly the mighty Mars this week, Tryggvason said. They head back on Saturday.

Double standards betray Canadian justice

F

or centuries statues of Lady Justice have stood outside law courts throughout the western world. In one hand the widely recognized figure carries the sword of punishment, in the other she holds a scale with the opposing factors that affect a judgment. Traditionally Lady Justice wears a blindfold, indicating her objectivity while weighing the various measures affecting a case.

While this is a reassuring image to represent our justice system, it appears the old concept of blind justice does not necessarily apply to criminal cases with accused individuals of First Nations descent in Canada.

The issue arose this week in Port Alberni’s provincial court, where the sentencing for a man who pleaded guilty to sex crimes committed against a 13-year-old girl in a Vancouver Island aboriginal community was delayed with respect to the man’s aboriginal

background. A full report on the offender’s connection to the First Nations community was needed for the judge to proceed.

The Crown prosecutor argued for a five-year sentence due to the multiple incidents of sexual abuse with the minor over several months. He argued that the more severe the crime, the less likely a defendant’s aboriginal background would affect a sentence.

“There is no automatic aboriginal discount for a crime,” the Crown stressed, citing cases from the Supreme Court of Canada and B.C. Court of Appeal. “All children have the right to be free from sexual exploitation.”

Judge Parker MacCarthy was cautious in his decision to await more information on the accused’s First Nations circumstances, citing the Criminal Code of Canada, which states that this is a requirement under section 718.

“All available sanctions other

than imprisonment that are reasonable in the circumstances should be considered for all offenders, with particular attention to the circumstances of aboriginal offenders,” states the code.

The concerning issue here is if a double standard exists in our justice system, does it necessarily serve all Canadians, including First Nations, who have been exposed to a greater level of government interference in their history? We need only consider the legacy of the Residential School System to grasp some sense of this tension.

Further insight might lie with the Correctional Service of Canada.

“Crime rates within aboriginal communities are generally higher than the national crime rate,” states the national agency on its website. “This is often attributed to the low socio-economic status

of aboriginal people such as high unemployment, substandard housing, inadequate health care and lack of recreational opportunities. These are all factors that may lead to crime.”

The over-representation of aboriginal people in the justice system is undeniable. Although First Nations, Métis and Inuit comprise just 4.3 per cent of Canada’s population, aboriginal offenders make up 15 per cent of the population in federal prisons, as well as nine per cent of those under various forms of parole and other supervision.

Even more concerning is that these crime rates appear to be rising dramatically. Since 2000 the aboriginal portion of the federal inmate population has risen by 56.2 per cent, according to a 2013 report from Canada’s Office of the Correctional Investigator titled Aboriginal Offenders – A Critical Situation.

Canada’s struggles with respect to its First Nations have been observed internationally – in particular by the United Nations, which has observed a two-tiered society in the country, with aboriginal peoples often living in third-world conditions on their own land.

The situation is troubling, notably in the Alberni Valley and on the West Coast, where a significant portion of the greater community is First Nations. But the Criminal Code’s “particular attention to the circumstances of aboriginal offenders” leads one to wonder if this special consideration is doing more harm to communities than protecting the innocent.

There are times when special consideration betrays the traditional principles of justice that a democratic society relies on.

families and communities.

In a year where reconciliation is being encouraged between aboriginal and non-aboriginal peope in Canada, the style of writing and comments do not support reconciliation, and in fact only promote stereotypes and racism.

Over 150 years of unjust relationships, abuse and other negative effects on First Nations people cannot be undone overnight; healing and moving forward takes time.

Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations and our tribal council are working hard to ensure our people move forward in a good way.

We hope local newspapers and reporters will work hand in hand with First Nations, and not promote stereotypes and racist attitudes that put us back another 150 years.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@avtimes.net NTC finds court article ‘offensive’ Re: ‘Child sex assault case delayed,’ July 22, Page 1 The Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council leaders take issue with your recent coverage of a sexual assault trial in Port Alberni.

The NTC upholds the view that every child is sacred and precious, and should never be subjected to any form of neglect or abuse. They should be protected, loved and nurtured and feel safe in their homes and communities.

NTC leaders found the recent front page story written by Martin Wissmath inflammatory and offensive to aboriginal people.

The subhead “Judge postpones sentencing due to aboriginal status” and lede sentences are misleading and not entirely accurate given the details of the actual decision.

The trial was not delayed because the accused is a First

Nations person; the sentencing was postponed so the judge could have all the appropriate reports in front of him to lessen the chance of a successful appeal of his sentencing decision.

The result of the miswording is it feeds into racist beliefs that First Nations are treated differently in the courts and in Canadian society.

We would invite you to read up on the history and rationale behind the Gladue Decision that was made by the Supreme Court of Canada in 1999, and why it continues to be an important part of the legal process today.

Let us be clear, anyone who commits a crime of a sexual nature against a child absolutely needs to be held accountable.

We are committed to providing support to the victims of abuse through our social, community and human services programs that are available in our 14 First Nation communities that will create a healthier and better life for our children,

Debra Foxcroft, president of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council

Taxpayers should question paying government staff to waste time on make-workprojects that - by continually programming the word “terrorism” into the publics’ psyche - actually do the public a dis-service in what becomes nothing more than an exercise in fear-mongering.

Rather hype general anxiety, citizens’ greater good would be better served if government put the money spent on negative fear-mongering into positive community programs, like sports for youth, that keep citizens positively engaged in Canadian society.

Personally, I’m less afraid of terrorism than I am of what the Harper Conservative government has done/is doing to my country!

Good samaritans save lives using ‘textbook’ approach DARRELL BELLAART NANAIMO DAILY NEWS

A

ll the health and safety training kicked in automatically when Nanaimo’s Lee Hethershaw and his family saw a car leave the road and into Cameron Lake.

On Saturday at 5:40 p.m. Lee’s wife, Lisa, was driving Lee, his cousin Allan Nicholson and Nicholson’s girlfriend Joanne Lavelle east on the Alberni Highway past Cameron Lake.

They were returning from a fun day of tubing on Stamp River, when a white Ford Focus in front of them veered left and plunged into the lake.

“We slammed on the brakes, jumped out the car and waved down passing vehicles to help,” said Hethershaw.

As a crowd watched, he and Nicholson, and Wes Klassen, a Qualicum Beach man they’d flagged down made their way to the car, which was sinking to the bottom, five metres below.

“We got in the water and stood on top of the car as it was going down, telling her to take off the seatbelt, wind your window down and keep calm,” Hether-

As it sank, the window wound down, but the middle-aged woman remained trapped by her seatbelt. They took turns diving to the bottom. Nicholson couldn’t free the woman.

“You’re running out of air and she is running out of air,” Heth-

ershill said. “We were all almost crying underwater.”

Hethershaw tried next.

“The car looked like a white coffin,” he said. “I came up and I looked at Wes, and there was this connection. We knew (valuable) time had gone.

“I don’t believe in God, or any-

thing like that, but it was a very spiritual connection.”

This time, she got free of the belt and Klassen got her to the surface.

hen the road maintenance contractors undertake work on our highways they are hard to miss.

The Traffic Control Manual for Work on Roadways tells them all about setting out advance warnings to give drivers plenty of opportunity to realize that they are approaching a hazard. What is often missing is the equivalent for short term, small scale occurrences. This had added importance now that we have the slow down, move over law.

Had they not stopped for ice cream, they wouldn’t have been behind the car when it went off the road.

“I gave Wes the biggest hug ever,” he said.

It struck a personal chord for Hethershaw, who experienced a heart-stopping drowning event as a child.

It happened in a swimming pool in Alberta, at age six.

Another minute, and he wouldn’t have recovered, “so now I’ve come full circle.”

Afterward, a woman approached him, hugged him, blessed him and thanked him for his brave actions.

Hethershaw, who works at VMAC compressors, said his safety training helped guide him through an unexpected emergency.

It’s worthwhile as part of this discussion to examine what is meant by the word highway.

Most of us tend to think of main highways and freeways, but a highway also includes streets, lanes and pathways that the public uses to drive vehicles on, and that includes the shoulder. Working on the shoulder rather than in the travelled lanes does not excuse the need to place sufficient warnings.

Alleged liquor smuggler nabbed off Ucluelet That’s too much booze for one cruise.

Ucluelet RCMP recently seized more than 120 bottles of liquor from one vessel.

Local police serve as border officers on the West Coast, clearing vessels coming into Canada through customs.

One such vessel arrived from Portland, Oregon, carrying five people and way too much hooch, according to Ucluelet’s detachment commander Sgt. Jeff Swann.

“In every cubby, every little hole, every little spot you could find

on that large vessel there was alcohol,” Swann said. “In total, over 120 bottles of liquor...Not 120 cans of beer; I’m talking 120 full 750-millilitre bottles of alcohol.”

The alcohol was seized and the vessel’s skipper faces charges

Pursuant to Sections 890, 891, and 892 of the Local Government Act, Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 4850 Argyle Street, Port Alberni, BC on Monday, July 27, 2015 at 5:30 pm to hear representation about the following proposed bylaw: "Zoning Text Amendment No. T6 (Site Specific Use - P1 Institutional), Bylaw No. 4879".

Ucluelet’s campfire ban is continuing despite the removal of the fog zone from the B.C.-wide campfire ban.

The province removed the fog zone — a roughly two-kilometre stretch of Vancouver Island’s coastline including Ucluelet and Tofino — from its campfire ban on July 14.

“The district of Tofino and the Pacific Rim Nation- Ucluelet is taking al Park followed that lead and lifted a precautionary step to ensure that their respective campfire bans but we’re not going to Ucluelet has decidcause any humaned to keep its ban made fires.” in place.

“It’s applying everywhere within Karla Robinson that fog zone and it would apply within our jurisdiction, however we’re choosing at this time, as a local government, based on our fire prevention bylaw... that we will continuing on with the campfire ban in Ucluelet’s municipal boundary,” Ucluelet’s manager of environmental and emergency services Karla Robison told the Westerly News.

“Essentially, the district of Ucluelet is taking a precautionary step to ensure that we’re not going to cause any human-made fires and that’s going to ultimately protect public safety and it’s also going to ensure that our resources are ready to go if there is a natural or human made fire.”

Locals are visitors are asked to help prevent potential fires by being careful with their cigarettes, as well as their motorized vehicles and machinery.

Re-emphasizing a comment she made to the Westerly last week regarding the recent wildland fire in Ucluelet, Robison said one small ember can turn into a significant blaze.

“It’s extremely dry and the little bit of rain that we had last week wasn’t sufficient to moisten those forest fuels enough,” she said.

“It really just takes that one ember, just one tiny ember which can smolder away get into root systems travel underground and spread and winds can also help to spread fires as well.”

She said the decision to keep Ucluelet’s campfire ban in place was agreed upon by both district staff as well as the Ucluelet Volunteer Fire Brigade.

“There’s consensus made that we want to continue with the fire ban in Ucluelet to ensure that residents and visitors are safeguarded from any wildfire events and that our resources are maintained,” she said.

“Until we get a good rainfall we will carry on with the fire ban.”

Anyone looking for more information about Ucluelet’s campfire ban is encouraged to visit the district’s website at www.ucluelet.ca.

Posters explaining the ban have been spread throughout town and a bulletin board at the Ucluelet Fire Hall will be frequently updated with information, according to Robison.

“The most up to date information bulletins are on there,” she said.

Information can also be found on the B.C. Wildfire website.

Seattle Mariner Mike Zunino hits a line drive to drive in Chris Taylor and break a 2-2 tie with the Detroit Tigers Thursday in Detroit. [AP PHOTO]

M’s beat Detroit 3-2 in extra innings THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Seattle catcher Mike Zunino wasn’t expecting to play in a day game after being in the lineup a night earlier.

It didn’t quite work out that way.

Zunino had an RBI double in the top of the 12th inning after entering the game in the 10th, lifting the Mariners to a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Thursday.

“That wasn’t exactly what I had planned for the day, but I’m always happy to contribute to a victory,” said Zunino, who threw out speedy Detroit baserunner Anthony Gose on a potential wild pitch in the 10th after Jesus Sucre left for a pinch-hitter. “Especially a great win like this one.”

Chris Taylor started the 12th with a single off Ian Krol (1-3), and Zunino tried to bunt him to second. After two failed attempts, Zunino doubled down the left-field line. Yoenis Cespedes misread the bounce off the fence, allowing Taylor to score the go-ahead run.

“I was really frustrated when I didn’t get the bunt down, so I was just looking for a pitch I could put into play,” said Zunino, who is hitting just .169.

“I wanted to make something happen after these guys fought for so long.”

Tom Wilhelmsen pitched the bottom of the 12th for his first save of the season after Fernando Rodney (3-4) threw a scoreless 11th.

Neither starter was involved in the decision.

David Price, the subject of trade rumours with Detroit (47-48) struggling to get above .500, allowed two runs in eight-plus innings.

The star left-hander got standing ovations from the crowd of 40,225 at the end of the eighth and again after his final pitch in the ninth. Detroit does not play at home again until after the trade deadline.

“It’s out of my control so there’s no point in thinking about it,” Price said.

Birdie on 17 earns $182

I

n Men’s Club action on Sunday, a clear warm day, the first in the low gross, shooting a 75, was Ted Stewart, followed by Lloyd Fairley with a 77.

On the net side of things it was Steve White carding a 64. “Way to go Porchy!”

Second low net carding a 67 was Bill Morin.

Closest to the pin winners were Cory Nielson on No. 2, Craig Acland on No. 4, Lloyd Fairley on No. 13 and capturing No. 17 was Wayne Johnstone. The Charity closest to the pin on No. 7 was won by Mark Anderson taking home $28. There were a couple of big money pot winners on Sunday. Brian Tall won $14 for the only birdie on No. 4, Lloyd Fairley won $150 for the only birdie on No. 13 and Wayne Johnstone won $182 for the only birdie on No. 17.

Next week is the Alberni Auto Works Club Championship.

The Championship flight will start on Saturday playing from the blue tees with tee times starting at 7:30.

The foursomes will be determined by a draw.

On Sunday the Championship group will be playing from the blue tees, with tee times starting at 7:30.

The foursomes will be determined by your score from the previous day.

In the net division the top players will be tee times.

The foursomes will be determined on how you shot the day before. All other golfers will be in the shotgun starting at 8:30.

All players please sign up in the Pro Shop There will be trophies, prizes and closest to the pins for both groups.

There will be no money pot next weekend. » Gerry Fagan is an avid golfer, and volunteers around the community, including at the Alberni Golf Club.

hile our numbers on ladies’ nights appear dwindling, the enthusiasm isn’t!

Lisa Young and Geri Shiels were low gross with 41’s. It allowed Young to grab the low net for the evening with a two under par score of 28.

Young, again being a perennial runner-up in the countback, took the Hidden Hole jackpot also. Rhonda Holcombe still leads the point total and Ringer Boards.

Men’s night, on the contrary, was smoking!

Warren Longeuay finally came through taking low net amongst the 40 golfers.

Not to be outdone, Dave Ackerman, the course’s “Tom Watson” of the group, surprised the field taking low gross with a one over par 31! Great round Dave.

Phil Anker took a portion of the Hidden Hole cash with a deuce on hole No. 1, while Kelly Bauer grabbed a beautiful deuce with a putt in on hole No. 3!

This week we had many young, aspiring hockey players attending camp in Port Alberni playing golf at Hollies. It brought back a memory of my time as a junior golfer aspiring to make it on the Alberta Junior golf tours.

Ha,” as they referred to him.

“Mini Ha Ha” was grotesquely oversized for a teenage boy. His weight, I was told, was between three and four hundred pounds.

I knew golf course superintendents who cringed knowing Mini was playing their course due to the weight he exerted on the greens with each step he walked. Wearing a signature pork pie hat and carrying clubs, he appeared to waddle down the fairways. I was always surprised how well he managed hitting the ball given the physical disadvantage.

Mini treated me as one of the boys. While he never won any tournaments of significance I was aware of, he did possess a self assurance and confidence that

silently seemed to ignore his disability.

All I knew of Mini, outside of golf, was he worked at a bicycle shop in Edmonton’s east end. Years later, he etched his name in history as a coach at Canadian junior hockey levels.

His nickname today is Hitch and Ken Hitchcock has become a legendary, respected and well-known National Hockey League coach with a Stanley Cup ring on his finger. Looking at him now though, one might think the greatest win was a battle within himself during those formative years as “Mini Ha Ha.” » Patrick Little is an avid golfer, a lifetime member of the Canadian PGA, and owner of the Hollies Golf Course.

CALEDON, Ont. – Canada earned the gold medal in the team equestrian competition Thursday at the Pan American Games.

The Canadians finished the two-round competition with seven faults, one less than Argentina.

The United States earned the bronze with 12 faults at Caldeon Pan Am Equestrian Park, located approximately 65 kilometres north of Toronto.

The Canadian team consisted of Tiffany Foster of North Vancouver, B.C., 2008 Olympic champion Eric Lamaze of Schomberg, Ont., Ian Millar of Perth, Ont., and Yann Can-

Canada and Brazil finished the first round

tied for third with six faults each. Colombia led with one fault while Argentina had two.

Teams consist of four riders but only the top three results go towards the overall score.

The individual competition goes Saturday.

I had to compare myself to the best juniors in the province. It was at that first provincial tournament, held at Edmonton’s Derrick Golf & Winter Club, where I first met and played with “Mini Ha Ha.” I hitch-hiked to the city, finding the golf course on the south side after a complex series of bus connections. There, playing a practice round by myself, I caught up to four other juniors. Eventually, on the 11th hole, they invited me to join them.

They were junior members of the city-run course called Riverside and part of its junior program, nicknamed the rats. More specifically, “the Riverside Rats.”

They were fun, but went about their business playing for birdies. “Brent” and “Donny” were easy going, but serious about their golf.

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) A loved one will demonstrate his or her caring in a big way.

You might want to clear the way to do something very different, but you also must remain sensitive to this person. Remember to express compassion, and listen to his or her ideas. Tonight: In the whirlwind of life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stay responsive to others, as they seem to want to be dominant right now. Pressure builds and could force your hand.

Clearly, you need to communicate better. Understand what your expectations are from others. Make sure they understand yours as well. Tonight: Defer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Playing catch up might not be fun, but it will be necessary.

In your recent jubilant mood, you’ll discover how carefree you can be. However, be sure not to let your responsibilities fall to the wayside. Worry less about your plans and more about your to-do list. Tonight: Join friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be at your wits’ end and might feel as if you need a break. You will find that you are

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Get back to the basics when dealing with a personal matter, a relative or even a workrelated issue. You know what is best for you. Lighten up, even if there is some tension surrounding you. This too will pass. Tonight: Head home early, but first join a friend for Happy Hour.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your efforts to reach out to someone will succeed. You might get some flak, but it won’t be enough to deter you from your objective. Expect an unusual tale, and you won’t be surprised when you hear the other side of the story. Be more forthright. Tonight: Make it easy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be aware of the costs of making certain plans, as not everyone will agree with your choices.

You could be worried about a personal matter that is consum-

ing your thoughts. Slow down if you can. Think before you leap.

Tonight: Make it your treat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to a friend who seems to have some thoughts and ideas to share. You might be a little out of whack when trying to move forward with a personal matter. Your spontaneity could backfire, so be careful. Communication might need some revision. Tonight: The party begins.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to rethink a personal matter. You could be uncomfortable with the outcome if you act too quickly.

You are best off not overthinking the issue. Try to move in a new direction if possible. Make sure a plan is well-thought-out.

Tonight: In the thick of things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Focus on your goals right now.

Zero in on what is important, and figure out what needs to happen. A long-term desire could possibly manifest and become a reality. Touch base with a child or loved one. You have reason for celebration.

Tonight: Pop a bottle of bubbly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pressure builds and forces you to take charge. You will have little choice, as everyone seems to be looking to you. Demonstrate your sensitivity with various issues. Your empathy will help draw others toward you.

Understand your limits. Tonight: A must appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The more you detach, the more likely it will be that a wonderful meeting of the minds is the outcome. Don’t underestimate the people around you. How you view an important matter is subject to change after some important conversations.

Tonight: Make sure music surrounds you.

FOREST FIRES

Harper, Clark tour Kelowna wildďŹ re zone About 100 personnel from Ontario scheduled to land in Abbotsford to help battle ďŹ res THE CANADIAN PRESS

KELOWNA — A forest fire continues to burn out of control near West Kelowna, B.C., where residents of 70 properties have been forced out of their homes.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and B.C. Premier Christy Clark are scheduled to meet with crews battling the Westside Road wildfire Thursday afternoon.

A thick haze cloaked the wildfire at the top of the steep, winding Westside Road before the meeting.

Smoke could be seen billowing from the mountain as water bombers whizzed overhead.

Fire information officer Noelle Kekula said a short break from hot, dry weather allowed six skimmer aircraft to attack the blaze. “It’s hot and dry here today, but it was nice and calm this morning, so we were able to use air support lots this morning.�

An incident command team is taking control of fighting the four-anda-half square kilometre blaze, using

60 firefighters, four helicopters and four pieces of heavy equipment.

Kekula said planes also dropped fire retardant Wednesday to keep the blaze from spreading. The Westside Road fire is one of 250 wildfires currently burning across the province.

A total of 1,314 wildfires have

broke out this season.

About 100 personnel from Ontario are scheduled to land in Abbotsford Thursday to help with the battle.

Evacuees clutching yellow forms and volunteers carrying trays of sandwiches hurried in and out of a temporary recreation centre set up at the Westside Lions Community

Hall Thursday afternoon.

The centre opened on Monday at about 11 p.m. when the evacuations began. About 60 people have stopped by for help, said acting centre manager Catherine Williams. “As it goes on, people want to get home,� said Williams. “If they’ve got company coming, they’re not happy about it, but they’re all pretty resilient. “We haven’t seen anyone angry.

They’ve been really good.�

Claire and George Poitras fled their home near Westside Road Monday evening after Claire looked out the window to see the mountain ablaze.

The couple didn’t even have time to grab toothbrushes, but say they’re happy with how the fire has been handled. “The province has really left no stone unturned,� said George Poitras. “We’re staying at a Best Western. They’re feeding us well. If it wasn’t so serious, it would be like a vacation.�
