Hot weather boosts vineyards Warning Drought and warm temperatures bring sweeter grapes for local wine growers KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
While water restrictions and the risk of forest fires peak, the heatwave in the Alberni Valley has been a blessing for local wine producers. An early bumper crop of grapes means an early harvest and better tasting wine is soon to come. At Emerald Coast Vineyards at the top of the highway, manager Rhonda McLellan expects to be out picking grapes nearly two months earlier than usual. “We normally pick around Thanksgiving in October, but this year we will probably be picking as early as the end of August,” McLellan said. It is unusual, but it is not the first time for the family-run business. Last year, crews were out picking six weeks early, but McLellan said this year is shaping up to be even better. “Last year was the first time in 15 years we had it so hot and dry consistently and we produced nice wines that are being released now,” McLellan said. She said the high temperatures and lack of rain have been working in their favour to produce more distinct-tasting wines. “We expect to be picking about the same amount, but just earlier,” she said. “The sugars will be better because of the length of time in the heat. The grapes are always small because we don’t irrigate and let them find their own source of water.” That stress, along with the heat, brings the sugar levels up, she said. McLellan said winemaking was not always in the family’s plan. Her parents, Evan and Angelika McLellan had a farm, but when Evan developed allergies to hay, he decided to plant grapes on the acreage. “And here we are,” McLellan said. “It wasn’t in the master plan but it has snowballed from there.” McLellan’s brother, Adam, is the

“We normally pick around Thanksgiving in October, but this year we will probably be picking as early as the end of August.” Rhonda McLellan, Emerald Coast Vineyards
lead winemaker. Vaughan Chase, proprietor of another family-run winery, Chase and Warren Estates, said he is about one month ahead of schedule. “Some varieties, like the early muscat, are pickable now,” Chase said. “Usually they are edible
around Labour Day.” His other varieties are also starting, which normally have to all be taken off the vines in mid-October. “Sometimes we can pick them all and sometimes things happen that conspire against you,” Chase said. The problem, he said, is the lack of provision in the Alberni Valley for watering in the agricultural industry. “Every farmer is on his own,” he said. “We can’t take domestic water for irrigation. It takes a lot to irrigate otherwise the crops suffer.” For Chase, irrigation has been a double-edged sword. He said some crops are suffering because of the lack of irrigation. His vines in sand and gravel have found water but those in clay have a hard time.
“They get inundated with water in the winter and it swamps the roots so they die,” Chase said. “In the Spring they can’t handle the drought situation and that’s what I think happened.” He said what is good for the grapes is not good for the vines. “I expect above normal sugar levels in the grapes, so in that regard it is good,” Chase said. Both local wineries produce and bottle their own varieties and expect better tasting wine than usual. The early arrival of the small, sweet fruit makes for a labour-intensive summer for the families, but the fruits of their labour allow it to be appreciated by wine lovers for many years.

Canal Beach remains on a no-swimming advisory. The ongoing beach advisory was put in place by Island Health after sample results showed high bacterial levels earlier this summer. Levels of enterococci are considered high if they measure more than 35 particles per 100 milliliters in a sample and swimming is not recommended by VIHA. On June 5, samples taken at Canal Beach recorded the enterococci level at 100. It improved slightly on July 21 by dropping to 85 but by July 27, enterococci samples were measured at 600 per 100 milliliters. The most recent test conducted by the city was passed and considered safe, but a second was required by VIHA, which took place on Monday. Results were expected to return by yesterday but were not yet available. The advisory will be lifted after two consecutive good sample results. Kellie Hudson, VIHA media relations manager, said swimming in contaminated water is risky. “Swimming in contaminated water can result in increased risk of infection of the ears, nose and throat or gastrointestinal illnesses if the water is swallowed,” Hudson said in an email. VIHA will notify the public on its website once the advisory is lifted and the city will continue to post a warning sign at the beach kiosk until it is safe to swim.
INFRASTRUCTURE
No plans yet for Alberni to benefit from rail upgrade MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
The provincial government reaffirmed its commitment to provide $7 million for the re-establishment of the Esquimalt & Nanaimo rail line, though it’s uncertain when freight or passenger locomotive service will return to the Alberni Valley. “The government understands the importance of the historic E&N rail corridor to communities across Vancouver Island,” stated the B.C. Minister of Transportation, Todd Stone, in a press release last month. The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District included the release from the Island Corridor Foundation as an item at the board meeting
MCRAE
Wednesday. “We want to see the return of a fully operational passenger rail service on Vancouver Island and today we are one step closer,” Stone stated.
Currently plans for passenger service do not include the Alberni Valley. Twice daily runs would travel from Nanaimo to Victoria, with service to Qualicum Beach on Wednesdays and weekends, and service to Courtenay on weekends and statutory holidays. Provincial funding is conditional, and the B.C. Government won’t spend its $7-million commitment until the federal government likewise commits $7.5 million to support the Island railway project. The government is also waiting on confirmation that the upgrade to the rail corridor, which has been unused since operations were suspended in March 2011 due to poor track conditions, can be completed within its budgeted $20.4 million.
The regional districts of Alberni-Clayoquot, Cowichan Valley, Comox Valley, Nanaimo and the Capital, along with the Southern Railway of Vancouver Island and the Island Corridor Foundation, have committed to fund the remaining $5.9 million of the budgeted amount. “Putting together the funding has required the ICF to have patience and determination, but the board has not wavered in its resolve to keep rail service alive on Vancouver Island,” stated ICF co-chair Dr. Judith Sayers. “We know the people are supportive of the rail project and we all look forward to getting the VIA passenger service operational between Victoria and Courtenay.”
Russell Dyson, chief administrative officer for the ACRD, said the regional district invested in the E&N because the east coast line is needed as a first step to eventually restoring rail service to the Alberni Valley. It’s also part of an agreement with the Island Corridor Foundation itself, which supports operation of the Alberni Pacific Railway to McLean Mill, Dyson said. It could be many years before passenger rail service returns to Port Alberni, said Ken McRae, who represents the ACRD on the ICF board. But the line from Parksville is the next step to developing the E&N, he noted. See RAILWAY, Page 3

Hydro increases flow on Ash River to help trout “The extent of these current drought conditions is remarkable and unprecedented.”

rainstorm by increasing flows to nine cubic metres on Monday, then the valve will be closed down to a 3.5 cubic metre per second volume. “It’s designed for steelhead to get past natural obstacles along the upper Ash River system – that’s Lanterman Falls, Dickson Falls – so they can access Dickson Lake and areas like that for migration and spawning,” Watson said. “That’s something we do every year to assist steelhead moving through the system for spawning and overall fish production.” The low volumes are not unique to the Ash River. For most of the summer Vancouver Island has been under a low streamflow advisory from the province’s River Forecast Centre, and dry conditions are anticipated to stay until the autumn rains. The Ash River system’s Elsie Lake reservoir is holding at a depth of 326 metres – just one metre below the historical average for this time of year. But this has
COURT BRIEFS Alberni Valley Times
August 12 Wayne R. Wilson pleaded guilty to assault, uttering threats and assault with a weapon. A neighbour called the RCMP around midnight on March 28 when she saw Wilson dragging their fence gate down the road, noted the prosecutor. Wilson had broken off the gate from their property. An altercation ensued. The 48-year-old yelled at and punched a man in the face, yelling, “I will kill you,” and “I will burn your house down.” He then hit one of his neighbours in the side of the head with a rock, causing his ear to bleed. Wilson was sentenced to 60 days of house arrest with an 18-month probation including conditions that he avoid contact with his neighbours. He is also prohibited from owning or operating firearms for five years and must submit his DNA for identification. Wilson’s defence lawyer said he feels badly for the assault – one of the victims was his brother-in-law – and is on “significant medication.” Wilson is a licensed grower of medical marijuana. “It seems that you’re more or less in constant pain,” observed Judge Lamperson. The judge noted Wilson’s guilty pleas as a mitigating factor. “That suggests you’re
taking responsibility for these offences.” Other than prescription drugs, Wilson is prohibited from consuming any alcohol or controlled substances.
Student steals teacher’s money A youth offender, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded guilty to theft. The 14-year-old, a student at an Alberni middle school, stole his teacher’s keys and then stole money from the teacher’s car, distributing it in his friend’s lockers. Defence lawyer Charles Beckingham described the crime as a “mischievous misadventure from a young schoolboy.” It was concerning that the boy had exhibited this kind of behaviour before, both at home and in school, Beckingham noted. The young defendant, who is diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), was placed on probation and prohibited from contacting the teacher except when required for educational purposes.
been maintained by running the hydroelectric system sporadically, forcing the region to rely on power generated from the Peace and Columbia rivers on B.C.’s mainland. “By not running the generating station much at all, it conserves water so we can manage through this extreme drought into October,” said Watson. “As we know on the Island, sometimes the rains don’t arrive until early October or into November, should that happen we won’t to be prepared.” Next week people in the Ash River watershed are advised to be mindful of the increased flows. BC Hydro plans to open up the Elsie Lake valve again from Aug. 24–26 and Aug. 31–Sept. 2. “For public safety, BC Hydro advises the public to be cautious around the Ash River when flows are increased on August 17, 24, and 31,” stated the utility provider.

Although dry conditions are expected to persist, a river that has been reduced to a trickle northwest of Port Alberni is set to surge next week. BC Hydro plans to dramatically increase flows in the Ash River from Monday to Wednesday to help the migration and spawning of steelhead trout by opening up a valve at its hydroelectric dam in the area. Since May the province’s utility provider has seen the lowest levels in the river since it began running a hydroelectric system near Great Central Lake 52 years ago. A streamflow of 12 cubic metres a second in April fell to six cubic metres in May, followed by volumes of 2.5 and 1.5 per second in June and July. The averages for those respective months are 24, 28, 22 and 13 cubic metres a second. “The extent of these current drought conditions is remarkable and unprecedented,” said BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson. “The previous record-low water inflow rate for this time of year was two cubic metres a second.” Anything under 3.5 cubic metres is not enough for steelhead trout migration in the summer, according to a provincially regulated water licence BC Hydro entered over a decade ago. To accommodate the shallow streams the utility providers plan to mimic a

Alberni line next for ICF RAILWAY, from Page 3 “I hope we do that while I’m still above ground,” he chuckled. Currently, the Alberni Pacific Railway is maintaining the Parksville–Port Alberni line and will be sending more speeders on the tracks, he said. Western Forest Products’ Alberni Pacific Division has “a good chance” of milling many of the 300,000 ties required for the E&N corridor, McRae said. And McLean Mill could produce much of the yellow cedar needed for the project. Passenger service on the E&N extension to Port Alberni was discontinued in 1953. McRae told the Times that the local port would require rail ser-
vice for the proposed transshipment container hub on the Alberni Inlet. The province has already provided $500,000 in funding for a study of the 48 bridges and trestles on the E&N corridor between Victoria and Courtenay. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure noted that the BC Safety Authority is working with the Island Corridor Foundation and the Southern Railway of Vancouver Island to ensure the rail line upgrades meet safety requirements. The ICF previously estimated that upwards of $100 million would be required to restore the entire E&N rail line for passenger service. Martin.Wissmath@avtimes.net

Another approach needed to lure docs T he movie is called The Grand Seduction (2013) and it stars Brendan Gleeson and Taylor Kitsch. It also won Gordon Pinsent a Genie Award for best supporting actor. The gist is this: a dying Newfoundland fishing village (Tickle Head, pop. 120) can land a plastics factory and rejuvenate its town if it can prove it has a family doctor. Suffice to say the lengths these people go to woo the doc-
tor (they take up cricket, for example, and leave five-dollar bills lying around for the young doctor candidate to randomly find) are incredible, and quite funny. Pinsent barely says a word, but steals every scene he’s in. In the end, well, we don’t want to spoil it for you. Lest you believe we’ve turned this space into a movie-reviewof-the-week, we have a point. Perhaps it’s time for Parksville and Qualicum Beach to take up cricket.
In a matter of two weeks, hundreds of people lost a family doctor here. July 31 was Dr. Marlene Van der Weyde’s last day as the only family physician at the Oceanside Health Centre’s primary care department. This coming Saturday, Dr. Vadula Jayaraman closes the doors of his practice in Qualicum Beach. He had 1,500 patients. These losses come in a region that was already starved for family doctors. It’s not a stretch to suggest thousands of people are without a family physician
in this region. Island Health is not the bad guy here. In fact, there really isn’t a bad guy. But that doesn’t make the situation any better, or any safer. Just like the Foundation of Oceanside Residents Associations (FORA) did almost a decade ago, it’s time for a grassroots effort to find out-ofthe-box ways to attract family physicians to this region. It’s clear that relatively inexpensive housing and the fact we live in a seaside paradise is not enough.
Island Health, FORA, the Oceanside Division of Family Practice, town and city councils, MLAs and other groups need to band together soon to come up with a plan. Parksville and Qualicum Beach are home to the oldest people in the country, people who have paid taxes and built communities here and across the country. They need and deserve access to health care services in their golden years.
De-salination is Alberni’s water shortage solution
People have prayed to no avail and if od had so little regard for her creations that she drowned them, will paradise be dictatorship? Luke 19/27: Christ says, “These enemies that don’t want me as king, slaughter them before me.” Democracy isn’t perfect and church-state seems to favour rich minority but are world’s theocracies even worse? When missionaries preached heavenly reward, pygmies reasoned asking if missionaries had died, gone to heaven and returned to earth to know this. Can a divinity degree be a guarantee of interpreting biblical mythology or is it as fallible as any other philosophy? Are good Samaritan acts exclusively spiritual or do we all possess humanity? Kudos to Toronto’s admitted atheist preacher that refuses to lie for a living, trying to make sense of nonsense. Will she be the first to sermonize Numbers 31/ 17 and 18 where God commands the chosen to slay all Canaanites except virgin girls? Will US politicians exit atheist closets and let voters decide if senators wanting to hasten rapture or atheists should have their finger on nuclear trigger.

Re: ‘Central Park should not be tax exempt’ letter, August 12, Page 4 I felt I must respond to Mr. Irvine’s asinine statement regarding the tax exemption and the expectation of similar consideration. The Gaigas have made an investment in property for which they can expect little or no return for the foreseeable future, other than improving the over all ambience of an important uptown corner adjacent to their business. Can Mr. Irvine claim the same? What benefit would a “bench and a fountain” bring to Mr. Irvine’s street? What part of downtown decay does Mr. Irvine not understand? Jane Jacobs, in her seminal work on the life and death of American cities, made the case over 50 years ago that what works is a combination of green space, residences and small businesses serving the immediate community. The Gaigas’ initiative is prescient and forward thinking, and is a direct and compelling response to the wilderness of big box stores on upper Johnston Road and definite-
ly deserves to be rewarded. Thank you city council for agreeing to the Gaigas’ proposal. David S. Morton Port Alberni
We must demand a healthy environment I am not anti-development but I am against how development is done. First, let’s clarify the word development: in most cases it refers to building, usually malls or densified housing. Clearing all native trees, shrubs, grasses, even natural rock features, in order to create a flat, clean surface that is easier for the “developers” to work with is not okay. It’s a proven scientific fact that human stress is reduced by green spaces and nature. Open, wild spaces provide seeds from varied grasses and wild flowers that sustain many species of birds and animals that we all enjoy. Let’s demand healthy development for our living spaces that are more integrated with nature rather then the bald, hot, de-nuded spaces that are presently the norm. Diane Ermacora Qualicum Beach
With many water restrictions in place nowadays, one possible solution is right there in front of all coastal communities. De-salination is not a new industry. We could accomplish sustainability within city limits instead of worrying about rain-fed reservoirs many miles away. Port Alberni is searching for a new identity of sorts, so why not make us a Vancouver Island leader with this technology? There would be job creation for construction and future jobs for maintenance/ operation. Best of all, we’d never face a water shortage again while becoming a shining example for other coastal communities. Robert Liboiron Port Alberni

Defending our politicians
A
ll day, clouds and winds threatened golfers on Ladies’ Night and I remained confident it would cancel, until magically...a dozen ladies arrived. I was caught off guard! What followed was a whirlwind of prize gathering, shopping, food preparing, BBQing, presenting, and dishwashing. In the end R. Anderson’s Geri Shiels shot the round of her life with a five over par 35, four better than Lisa Young. Janet Van Pelt took low net with a stunning 7 under par 23, five better than Sharanne Gaiga. Shiels took a commanding lead in the points night, while Rhonda Holcombe now only has a slim margin on the Ringer Board. The “Secret Hole” wasn’t won and neither were the birdie and par holes. Thanks for a memorable evening ladies. LOL! Men’s Night? Are you kidding me? We had a tie for low gross between Barry MacMillan, Doug Rozwadowski, and Ron Nelson, each scoring three over par 33’s. A playoff was planned, but we had complications. In the end Rozwadowski took the low gross in a countback, while MacMillan grabbed low net, three better than “First Glass’s” Warren Longeuay. Edy Byrne won the deuce on hole No. 8, but the Hidden Hole remained elusive and will be well over $500 next week. It’s so good maybe Port Alberni’s own mayor will show up (LOL).

Patrick Little Rediscovering golf at Hollies played golf at Hollies this past week. Talking to him and his family, I failed realizing why Canadians (and perhaps other cultures, but especially ours) appear obsessed criticizing our politicians incessantly. Further, everyone appears to defend the habit as well. I probably would also except for one thing. I realize almost 100 per cent of any who complain about our leaders have never put their name up to run for office. Further, when complaining, they tend to be too lazy in examining all the facts thoroughly before criticizing. Everyone at our golf course thinks me a little off because I defend Christie Clarke, Stephen Harper and Barack Obama. Most have been painted as evil whereas I tend to think of them as family people simply trying to run large jurisdictions. Call me naive, but the best politician I ever served was the former premier of Alberta, Peter Lougheed. One weekend morning, I saw my former boss talking to the Alberta provincial premier outside our Edmonton pro shop. Passing by, my boss motioned me over and introduced us. I was thrilled of course, but the

first and most obvious thing noticeable was his height. Premier Lougheed and I were eyeball to eyeball. He appeared almost lazy in speech, talking with a form of charismatic monotony. He had a laid back sense about him, but at the same time, appeared overtly alert and aware. I stayed for a minute or two, unwilling to overstay the welcome, but before leaving, my boss indicated that Peter, as he liked to be called, wanted new grips on his clubs. Examining them, instead of seeing the latest Lynx or Power Bilt models of the day, I saw an older, seemingly uncared for set of clubs. They had rusted steel shafts and dry, shiny cowhide grips, characteristic of leather past prime. They were housed in an equally old but expensive canvas leather bag. I sensed they were the premier’s sentimental favourites. We went into the club room, an area where we repaired golf clubs. There, the premier picked out a model of Golf Pride grips featuring a crown with black and gold colours. That was how I began looking after the premier’s clubs during my four-year stay at Edmonton’s Royal Mayfair Golf Club. In that time, the premier didn’t golf much, but when he did, it was usually with his wife in the evenings. I couldn’t help feeling impressed how a man in his position came to the club, after dealing with so many important provincial, national and worldly people, and managed remembering our names. As a taxpayer, I had one complaint about the premier. Seldom does a person come into public life with charisma, knowledge and a persuasive ability and manner to accomplish that which needs doing. Premier Lougheed appeared having those characteristics. In my opinion he may have been one of our countries’ great prime ministers, had he chosen to let his name stand nationally. He appeared to have “the whole package.” » Patrick Little is an avid golfer, a lifetime member of the Canadian PGA, and owner of the Hollies Golf Course.

Jays win 11th straight game JOHN CHIDLEY-HILL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Mark Buehrle isn’t letting the Blue Jays get ahead of themselves, despite their impressive 11-game winning streak. The Toronto left-hander was solid for more than seven innings and Ryan Goins hit a home run as Toronto defeated the Oakland Athletics 4-2 on Thursday afternoon to continue their dominant run. Even though the Blue Jays have climbed from fourth to first in the American League East over the course of the streak, Buehrle remains cautious. “We’re trying to go out and win games but it’s going to end eventually,” he said. “Put me on rec-
ord: we’re not going to win the rest of the games here on out. “Don’t like to talk about (the streak) and don’t really pay too much attention to it. Every day’s a new day. We go out there and try to play the best game that day and win that game.” Buehrle (13-5) had two strikeouts and allowed seven hits and two runs over seven-plus innings as Toronto (64-52) maintained a one-game lead over the New York Yankees in the AL East standings. Aaron Sanchez pitched a scoreless inning of relief while Roberto Osuna earned his 12th save of the season. Buehrle was dismissive of keeping an eye on the Yankees, who were scheduled to play the Indians on Thursday night.

SEATTLE — If this off-season for the Seattle Seahawks is about getting past what happened at the end of their Super Bowl loss to New England, then another step comes Friday night. It may just be preseason, but the Seahawks will finally get on the field in their exhibition opener against Denver. Don’t expect to see much of Russell Wilson, although he’s likely to throw his first pass since Malcolm Butler’s goal-line interception in the final seconds that preserved the Patriots’ 28-24 victory. And don’t expect to see Peyton Manning other than as a spectator on the sideline. But there are important areas to watch for with each team as the preseason begins: LINE OF CONCERN: Both the Seahawks and Broncos have issues on the offensive line that’ll begin to shake out on Friday. The Broncos are working in an offensive line that includes three

Seahawks, Broncos Johnson tied for Round 1 lead set to open preseason TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

players with zero NFL starts: rookies Ty Sambrailo and Max Garcia and Matt Paradis, who was on the practice squad all last season. The right tackle is veteran Ryan Harris and the stalwart of the line is Louis Vasquez, who returns to his natural position at right guard after serving as the team’s right tackle down the stretch last year. Manning has four newcomers and five players in new spots this season. The Seahawks are only trying to fill two spots but they are vitally important. Veteran centre Max Unger is now in New Orleans while left guard James Carpenter left in free agency. Lemuel Jeanpierre and Drew Nowak have taken the lead in the centre competition, while as many as four players have run with the first-team at left guard during training camp. LEGION OF WHOM?: Earl Thomas is still recovering. Kam Chancellor is holding out. And Richard Sherman is now dealing with a minor hip flexor injury.
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Already tied for the lead, Dustin Johnson was in position for more Thursday in the PGA Championship. He was in the fairway on the par-5 second hole at Whistling Straits and faced a “perfect 3-wood� to reach the green for a sure birdie or even better. So he laid up with a 5-iron. “I wanted to try to make today as easy as possible,� Johnson said. “And it worked out.� He made birdie and opened with a 6-under 66 and a one-shot lead over David Lingmerth. It was the fifth time in 13 rounds at the majors that Johnson has had at least a share of the lead. Just not on Sunday. And that’s why he wanted to get off to an easy start. Even in the midst of his best year in the majors, Johnson has had a hard time. Nothing stung more than the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, where three putts from 12 feet on the final hole took him from a chance to win his first major to a runner-up finish behind Jordan Spieth. He had the 36-hole lead at the British Open until a 75-75

weekend. And one round into the PGA Championship, here he is again. “Right now — today — I really felt like I had my ball under control, a lot like I did at the U.S. Open,� Johnson said. “So I feel a lot more comfortable right now. We’ll just have to see what happens. It’s only the first round. We’ve still got a lot of golf to play.� But he made a quick impression. “When we were starting today, when we saw six under on the board, we talked about it and knew that was probably not feasible for us, minus a few breaks,� said Spieth, who joined Rory
McIlroy at 71. Making the start more meaningful is where it took place — Whistling Straits, scene of one of his many miscues. Five years ago at the PGA Championship, Johnson had a one-shot lead on the final hole when he grounded his 4-iron in the bunker without realizing it was a bunker. He made bogey, and the two-shot penalty knocked him out of a playoff won by Martin Kaymer. There was no chance of a repeat Thursday. The sand where he grounded his club has been covered by a grandstand area. Besides, he smashed his drive far and left, leaving him nothing more than a 7-iron to the green. He missed a sharp-breaking birdie putt from 10 feet. More on his mind than what happened five years ago is what happened the last two months in the majors. Johnson was quick to disagree with one question that his final rounds have not been as good as his opening rounds — by the numbers that might be true, though that doesn’t take into account that golf courses tend to play harder on the weekend in the majors.

esus never seemed to have a plan. That’s not quite true, he most certainly had a plan from the beginning of time to become a human being, to die to carry off what was broken and rose to make all things new. When we read the Gospel stories of Jesus in the Bible, we can read that he very deliberately set out for Jerusalem and at another time, he carefully planned exactly when he would visit his friends Mary, Martha and Lazarus. Beyond that, he never seemed to have a plan. He seemed to go out each day, meet people and respond. . I’d like to live like that. I’d like to simply to walk around, greet people; if I’m invited, enter their homes, sit on their doorsteps, play ball, throw water, and be known as someone who wants to be with them. To have the time and to be warmly received would be a privilege. It is not as simple as it seems. My own desire to be useful, to do something significant, or to be part of some impressive project is so strong that soon my time is taken up by meetings, conferences, study groups, and workshops that prevent me from being present to meet people when they have time. It is difficult not to have plans, not to organize people around an urgent cause, and not to feel that you are working directly for progress. But I wonder more and more if the first thing shouldn’t be to know people by name, to eat and drink with them, to listen to their stories and tell your own, and to let them know with words, handshakes, and hugs that you do not simply like them, but truly love them. We will always have another task or obligation to carry out. But let’s try a little test that goes like this: when the next thing you have to do has to be done with another person, see if you can learn something new about that person – where they are from, a favorite color, a hobby, anything that might make the relationship stronger even by a small measure. Then glance at the clock; see if the thing you had to do took any longer. My hypothesis is that you can build a relationship and get the job done in no extra time. And you will both feel a lot better about it. That seems like a good way to imitate Jesus. greet people, enter their homes, sit on their doorsteps, play ball, throw water, and be known as someone who wants to live with them. It is a privilege to have the time to practice this simple ministry of presence. Still, it is not as simple as it seems. My own desire to be useful, to do something significant, or to be part of some impressive project is so strong that soon my time is taken up by meetings, conferences, study groups, and workshops that prevent me from walking the streets. It is difficult not to have plans, not to organize people around an urgent cause, and not to feel that you are working directly for social progress. But I wonder more and more if the first thing shouldn’t be to know people by name, to eat and drink with them, to listen to their stories and tell your own, and to let them know with words, handshakes, and hugs that you do not simply like them, but truly love them.” (Henri Nouwen)greet people, enter their homes, sit on their doorsteps, play ball, throw water, and be known as someone who wants to live with them.

discourage a child or loved one. Tonight: Where your pals are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be more in touch with your needs than you had thought possible. Nevertheless, you’ll have to put your best foot forward when dealing with a higher-up or older relative. Not everything is as it seems. Discussions are likely to be animated. Tonight: Leader of the gang. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will open up to a new conversation revolving around a potential trip and/or different cultures. You could be involved in a personal matter that causes a lot of activity. You might want to head in a new direction. Don’t allow someone to stop you. Tonight: Follow the music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are more concerned about a loved one than you realize. Your conversations with this person might not be effective, but only time will tell. Slow down and take time for yourself. Reassess the liabilities of a financial partnership if need be. Tonight: Make it early.

A worker on Thursday walks past dormitories damaged by the shockwave from a nearby explosion in the northeastern China’s Tianjin municipality. [AP PHOTO]
Death toll in China blast climbs to 50 More than 700 injured, dozens reported missing CHRISTOPHER BODEEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TIANJIN, China — The death toll from the fiery explosions at a warehouse of hazardous chemicals climbed Thursday to 50, and the Chinese government sent experts to the shattered and smouldering port to assess any environmental dangers from the spectacular blasts. More than 700 people were injured and dozens were reported missing in the explosions shortly before midnight Wednesday that demolished a workers’ dormitory, tossed shipping containers as if they were toy blocks and turned a fleet of 1,000 new cars into scorched metal husks. Windows were shattered for miles around by the shockwaves.
There was no indication of what caused the disaster in one of China’s busiest ports, and authorities tried to keep a tight rein over information by keeping reporters well away from the site. Social media users complained their posts about it were deleted. More than 1,000 firefighters were sent to the mostly industrial zone in Tianjin, a petrochemical processing hub about 120 kilometres east of Beijing. Tianjin is the 10th largest port in the world by container volume, according to the World Shipping Council, and the seventh-biggest in China. It handles vast amounts of metal ore, coal, steel, cars and crude oil. Ships carrying oil and “hazardous products� were barred from the port
Thursday, the Tianjin Maritime Safety Administration said on its official microblog. It also said vessels were not allowed to enter the central port zone, which is near the blast site. The municipal government, which gave the death toll of at least 50, said 701 people were injured, including 71 in serious condition. The Tianjin Port Group Co. said dozens of its employees were unaccounted for and a search is under way. Some migrant workers at the port may not be documented. Authorities said the blasts started at the warehouse owned by a company that says it stores hazardous materials including flammable petrochemicals, sodium cyanide and toluene diisocyanate.
HELSINKI — Swedish prosecutors on Thursday dropped cases of lesser sexual misconduct against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange but said they still want to question him on accusations of rape made after his visit to Stockholm five years ago. The Swedish Prosecution Authority said it has been unable to charge the 44-year-old Australian, who escaped a Swedish arrest warrant by taking refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London in 2012, because it has not been possible to question him. The agency said it has stopped investigating a case of sexual molestation and one of unlawful coercion that expired Thursday, and a third case of sexual molestation, which would have seen its statute of limitations expire on Aug. 18. However, it said Assange — who has not been indicted in Sweden — was still wanted for questioning on allegations of rape that expire in 2020. Public prosecutor Marianne Ny said she has tried to interview Assange since autumn 2010, but that “he has consistently refused to appear.� “I still hope, however, that I will be able to arrange for an interview, as there are ongoing negotiations between Sweden and Ecuador,� Ny said in a statement on the agency’s website. The allegations of sexual misconduct and rape by two women stem from a 2010 visit to Stockholm by Assange who drew crowds to his meetings. After having separate sexual encounters with him, the women
ASSANGE
went together to the police in Stockholm. Assange was questioned by the police, denied all allegations, and said he had consensual sexual encounters with the women. Police passed on the case to the prosecutor who ordered his arrest, but he escaped to England. Assange has refused to go back to Sweden for fear of being extradited to the United States because of an investigation into WikiLeaks’ dissemination of hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. documents. In March, a U.S. federal court confirmed there are “active and ongoing� attempts to prosecute him and WikiLeaks in an investigation involving espionage, conspiracy, and computer fraud. Sweden and Ecuador are starting discussions on a general agreement on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters that may permit the questioning of Assange in the embassy, officials from the two countries said. Assange said in London that he was “extremely disappointed� at the Swedish prosecutor’s decision to continue an investigation against him. “There was no need for any of this. I am an innocent man,� he said in a statement.

Top Tories aware Duffy did not pay back own expenses
Police, Alberta Health join in fentanyl fight
But the circle of prime minister’s key advisers still kept their lips sealed JENNIFER DITCHBURN AND KRISTY KIRKUP THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Top members of Stephen Harper’s campaign team, including the most senior staffer currently in the Prime Minister’s Office, were among those told in 2013 that Sen. Mike Duffy didn’t pay back his own contested expenses. But the circle of key advisers kept their lips sealed, even as cabinet ministers told the House of Commons that Duffy had “shown leadership,” or that chief of staff Nigel Wright “was the only one involved.” Ray Novak, Harper’s current chief of staff, had been told in a direct email that his predecessor, Wright, was preparing to repay $90,000 in Duffy’s Senate claims. Among all of Harper’s aides, Novak is the longest serving and closest to him personally. “I think her approach works,” Wright wrote only to Novak and PMO lawyer Benjamin Perrin on March 23, 2013, about a conversation with Duffy’s counsel. “I will send my cheque on Monday.”
WRIGHT
The email was filed as evidence in court Thursday during Wright’s second day of testimony at Duffy’s trial. The former Conservative senator has pleaded not guilty to 31 counts of breach of trust, fraud and bribery. Novak’s name appears as the recipient, the sender or a person copied on more than 100 emails about Duffy exchanged in February-April 2013. Novak, who is travelling with Harper, refused to speak to reporters. Campaign spokesman Kory Teneycke said Novak never saw the email in question, nor was he
aware of a conference call that Wright’s office sought to set up with Novak, Perrin and Duffy’s former lawyer that same week. “This wasn’t a file that Ray was ever managing or particularly a part of and he was unaware,” said Teneycke. Duffy’s current lawyer Donald Bayne launched into a methodical examination of Wright’s statements to police, as well as emails that he exchanged with Duffy and others in Harper’s office and the Senate. There were some prickly exchanges between Bayne and Wright as each betrayed moments of frustration or irritation. Bayne is trying to emphasize that it was Wright and his team — not Duffy — who devised the scheme to have the senator say publicly that he had mistakenly claimed living expenses for his Ottawa-area home. He honed in on language that Wright had previously used, such as “pressuring,” “forcing,” or “browbeat,” to make the case that Duffy was not the instigator
of any bribery or any fraud on the government. “I was persistent and eventually he agreed,” Wright said of getting Duffy to tell the public he had repaid his expenses. “What you call agreement, I would suggest, sir, is capitulation. It’s not agreement when you have to force someone to do something,” Bayne retorted. David van Hemmen, a senior staffer inside Finance Minister Joe Oliver’s office, was aware of Wright’s payment as his then-assistant in PMO. “I have a cheque to deliver to you on behalf of Mr. Wright,” van Hemmen wrote to Duffy’s lawyer. At a campaign stop Thursday at a farm outside of Regina, Harper continued to focus on his own ignorance of the repayment scheme. Harper said he was told Duffy was going to repay the expenses and would “explain his own story on that.” “That, to my knowledge, was exactly what he did until I found out otherwise.”

CALGARY — Charges in another fentanyl case have police forces and Alberta health officials teaming up to fight the dangerous drug, saying arrests alone won’t solve the issue. “Certainly police will not be able to arrest their way out of this problem,” Calgary police Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta said at a news conference Thursday. “It is a health problem. It is law enforcement problem. It’s a problem for all of society.” Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid used primarily to treat severe pain, is a growing concern across Canada as the number of deaths and overdoses from the drug continue to climb. A recent report from the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse said as many as 655 Canadians may have died between 2009 and 2014 from fentanyl overdoses. Health Canada’s drug analysis labs have also been detecting fentanyl more and more often in street drugs being sent for testing by law enforcement agencies. Calgary police say 145 people in Alberta have already died from suspected fentanyl overdoses this year compared with 120 last year.
