Cruise ship passengers create buzz downtown JULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS

T

he third cruise ship of the year pulled in to the terminal Monday morning to unload 2,800 passengers into downtown Nanaimo.

It was the second time in the Harbour City for the 121,878-tonne vessel Celebrity Solstice, which also visited last year.

One of the largest ships to travel inside passage this year, the 315-metre-long boat is on an 11-day cruise. It started in Seattle and wound its way to Ketchican, Skagway and Juneau in Alaska. It will visit Victoria and will then conclude its journey in Vancouver.

It costs $1,260 for a ship of this size to dock for the day at the cruise ship terminal. Other port authority tariffs include a per-passenger fee of $7.85, which includes shuttle service to downtown.

Clusters of cruise ship passengers could be seen wandering, maps in hand, throughout downtown. Business owners had mixed interpretations about their contributions to the local economy.

“It’s been crazy busy,” said Bonni Rutherford, who works at Perkins Coffee Company on Commercial St. People from all over the world have come in off the ship, she

added, including visitors from New Zealand and Russia.

The most sought-after item?

Nanaimo bars.

“Nanny-mo bars,” she said. “In the last two or three hours we’ve sold maybe 40.”

Up the road on Chapel Street, at Lexi Diamonds and Gifts, owner Kerry Yamkowy said she has seen an uptick of customers, but that hasn’t necessarily translated into sales.

“There’s more people with this cruise ship, more people coming

through, but sales? Forget it. No better than an ordinary day,” she said with a shrug.

On average, cruise ship passengers spent approximately $60 per person in 2014, said Jason Michell, terminal facilities manager for the Nanaimo Port Authority.

“We’re old enough where we don’t need anything, but the girls like (it), and that’s what the trick is,” said Ray Lutkus, who is from Kearny, N.J. “If it catches my eye, I want

it,” said his wife, cruise ship passenger Virginia Lutkus, who bought some hand-made jewelry along the waterfront, but said she wasn’t really looking to buy anything in particular.

On the ship with nine childhood friends, Ray said they all grew up in Kearny and take a cruise together every year. Next year, the NPA expect seven ships.

Downtown site to remain vacant Council declines to endorse proposal to turn parcel on Gordon Street into a parking lot SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

The vacant hotel site in downtown Nanaimo will remain empty for the foreseeable future, after city council declined to endorse a proposal to turn the parcel into a parking lot.

The land is just under one acre and situated next to the Vancouver Island Conference Centre and the Port Theatre.

It was slated to be the home to a 21-storey, luxury hotel, to be built by

NEWS IN BRIEF Daily News ◆ EDUCATION

School district could a live-stream of meetings The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district is considering providing live video-streaming of school board meetings. Currently, the boardroom can only record in audio, and the recordings are kept for a limited time and can be requested by the public.

Streamlining board meetings will provide 24-7 access to past meetings, and communications director Dale Burgos said that would benefit those in the community who can’t attend the meetings.

Burgos said the installation of the necessary hardware and software shouldn’t cost more than $5,000.

◆ FISHING

Government re-opens most streams for anglers The B.C. government has re-opened angling for most streams in the south coast due to increased rain and cooling water temperatures.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource operations said that the move reopens streams two weeks earlier than was first anticipated. However, there are some exceptions on the Island: the Cowichan River remains closed and the Stamp and Somass rivers, near Port Alberni, will have modified openings to support salmon conservation.

Most streams on the South Coast were previously closed to angling on July 22 to protect fish stocks.

Chinese tourism firm SSS Manhao.

The company bought the land from the city in 2013.

However, the deal soured after city council refused a request from the developer for a one-year-extension to pour the foundation of the building.

The city would have had the right to buy back the land at the original purchase price.

With the land back in city hands, some on council pushed for the site to be cleaned up and considered for an

alternate use, albeit for a temporary purpose.

Council passed a motion from Coun.

Bill Bestwick to get a staff report on the costs and feasibility of paving the site and converting it for parking.

However, the report said that exercise would cost approximately $72,000 to $163,000, depending on whether the lot was paved or gravel.

Some on council pointed out that fencing and torn signage around the property had been removed in

response to the property’s dilapidated appearance.

Bestwick was absent from Monday’s council meeting, but the remaining eight council members voted in support of a motion from Coun. Diane Brennan to hold off on a decision until the long-term future use of the property was debated and decided upon.

Some council members still voiced displeasure with the state of the property and urged measures to improve its appearance — although no one put

forward a motion to do so.

“Essentially what we’ve got is a barren piece of dirt with some weeds on it,” said. Coun. Gord Fuller.

Coun. Bill Yoachim said it may be time to put the land out to market.

“We’ll be chasing dreams for a long time,” he said in reference to a hotel project for the site.

Experiment saw traffic reduced from four lanes to two on Nicol Street ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Downtown Nanaimo residents had an opportunity on Sunday to see the difference that reducing Nicol Street from four to two lanes would make.

Traffic on the street, also a section of the Old Island Highway, was narrowed to two lanes between Esplanade and Milton Streets for six hours as a number of downtown organizations look for ways to revitalize the inner-city core.

Sydney Robertson, a member of the South End Community Association who helped organize Sunday’s “My Street” event, said the idea was to make the area “more pedestrian — and business-friendly.”

She suggested that Nicol Street could be made a four-lane highway during peak traffic times, and revert back to a more pedestrian-friendly two-lane road with the two outermost lanes used for parking the rest of the time.

“We wanted to give people the opportunity to experience a day when the area would be a thriving pedestrian hub,” Robertson said.

“We had local businesses and vendors set up ‘pop-up’ shops along Nicol Street, and crossing guards helped people cross the road on multiple crosswalks.

“It’s an idea that we would like to

Block Builders Nanaimo, the South End Community Association and the Downtown Nanaimo Business Improvement area worked together to make the event a reality.

any delays were no more than 60 seconds.

She said the plan for Nicol Street has been envisioned by the Terminal Nicol Re-imagined Project, a partnership between the DNBIA, downtown property owners and stakeholders to revitalize the Terminal/Nicol corridor.

“There are some jurisdiction issues as the Ministry of Transportation is responsible for the highway, while the city is responsible for everything else,” Robertson said.

Trying to beat the machine

Even rhythmic bum-clenches not enough to pass polygraph test

W

hile most people were enjoying their Saturday evening with friends or family, I was tucked away on a Nanaimo side-street doing rhythmic bum-squeezes.

No, I wasn’t twerking. Before you jump to any conclusions, let me explain myself.

Andrew Wade was in Nanaimo touring across Canada in the fringe circuit.

Part of his show, The Most Honest Man in The World, involves a homemade polygraph machine.

Aaron I thought it Hinks would be fun to Reporting catch up with Wade and test out his machine.

First we talked about how it works.

Lie detectors measure respiration, galvanic skin response, blood pressure and pulse. Wade’s setup was able to measure all of that except respiration. His used a multimeter to measure galvanic skin response and used a blood pressure machine, which also calculated my pulse.

“It’s important to note that the only thing that this machine is measuring is how anxious or nervous a person is,” Wade said while preparing the device.

For a polygraph test the subject is asked several simple questions that everyone knows the answer to. After the simple questions, that data is charted and is considered the baseline numbers for telling the truth.

Once the test begins, if the numbers spike after a particular question is answered, the tester will assume that the subject has lied.

Beating the test is possible.

Wade explained that in the old days, CIA agents would put a thumbtack

in their shoe and press down every time they answered the baseline questions. This would cause their baseline numbers to spike. That way, when the test began and they told a lie, their numbers will spike but it will appear average compared to their base numbers.

Wade had a different method, one he says is more effective: rhythmic bum-squeezes. The only problem is, it would be a little hard to hide. I don’t think an official polygraph test-

er would appreciate me rhythmically bouncing up and down in my chair.

Try a couple rhythmic bum-clenches while sitting and you’ll see what I mean.

Wade tested me three times. The first time I was told to answer truthfully without any funny business. I answered honestly and we established my baseline numbers for telling the truth. The next test I did the rhythmic bum-squeezes while telling the truth to see if I could, in fact, spike the numbers.

So here I am, bouncing up and down in my chair with wires wrapped around my fingers and a pressure gauge strapped to my arm.

We had two people watching us, but I just told them my bouncing was a nervous tick.

As the test went on, I told the truth, and succeeded in increasing base numbers. My pulse jumped up by 14bmp, the multimeter reading and the blood pressure reading both displayed higher numbers.

Now the real test is to compare my bum-squeezing data to the data of me telling lies. My goal was to have the two numbers almost identical.

Again, very simple questions to establish a baseline, except this time I was lying without bum-squeezes.

It was actually pretty stressful making up complete fabrications on the spot for every answer.

The test concluded and I learned

that I’m a terrible liar.

My galvanic skin response and blood pressure ratings were similar to my bum-clenching answers, but my pulse was through the roof. While lying my pulse was at 97bpm. That’s 14bmp higher than bum-squeezing and 30bmp higher than the first test of telling the truth.

The data determined that I get fairly anxious and nervous when telling a lie. I was shocked. I thought I would have been pretty good at tricking the machine; guess not.

I figure if I ever need to beat a lie detector test, I’m going to need to raise my pulse even higher with the butt clenching method. Maybe it’s time to start making use of the squat rack in my gym.

As a bonus it will add some torque to my twerk.

Lying never works, says relationship counsellor AARON HINKS DAILY NEWS

A

t some point in their lives, everybody lies, whether big or small.

My question is, are all lies created equal?

Growing up I’ve told my fair share of lies to my mother (Hi, Mom!). In a couple of situations I came home late and was asked what I did the evening before.

“Stayed in and watched movies,” always worked.

“Did you drink last night,” she’d ask.

Being underage at the time an easy answer would be “no.”

Of course she wouldn’t believe me, but she would never call me out on it either.

Did I violate her trust? Some would think so.

I had a long conversation about lying with local relationship counsellor Maureen Adkin.

I’m not married, or even in a relationship, but I thought “who better to talk to than a marriage counsellor?”

She gave me some very good insight about lying, why we lie, and the differences between a little white

“There are a lot of reasons why people lie. Most of the time it’s because they don’t want to get found out.”

Maureen Adkin, relationship counsellor

lie and something more serious.

The fibs I told my mother, Adkin considered little white lies.

It’s her belief that people, particularly children, tell little white lies to protect themselves from getting into trouble. I lied because I knew if I told the truth I would get in trouble.

A white lie can also have good intentions.

“There are a lot of different reasons of why people lie,” Adkin said. “Most of the time people lie because they don’t want to get found out. It’s usually because they did something they’re embarrassed about or they feel guilty about and they don’t want to get nailed. They figure they can cover their ass by lying and eventually get out of it.”

Where do you draw the line in the sand? What white lie is OK? What

white lie is not OK? Adkin argues that no lie — significant or not — is acceptable in a healthy relationship.

I tried to challenge her on that.

I gave Adkin a hypothetical situation, a situation my fellow men are almost certainly familiar with.

It revolved around my hypothetical wife who recently gained a few extra pounds, or is just adjusting to her post-pregnancy body.

“What if my wife was trying on a new piece of clothing, and asked me if it made her look fat,” I asked Adkin.

“If the outfit indeed looks unflattering, what do I say? Do you lie? Do you say yeah, it does make you fat?

“Any man with any sense knows better than to answer that question,” Adkin said.

Fair enough. But if you had to answer?

“It’s about being respectful of your partner’s feelings. Maybe she gained 50 pounds while carrying that baby. You could say something like I understand you gained a lot of weight while carrying the baby.

Tell her how wonderful she is that she gave you such a beautiful child.

Tell her you know she’s going to

try to lose that weight because it’s important to her and tell her you will do everything you can to help her,” Adkin said.

“Now that’s what you say instead of saying you look fat.”

Adkin gave me a nice rule of thumb for any question that feels like a trap.

“Think about how good friends would answer. At the root of every strong and healthy relationship is a deep and respectful friendship.

This is your friend who is concerned about her weight and she’s asking you a question.

“Does a good friend say ‘yeah, you look fat?’ Is that something a good friend says? No, you take into account her feelings. Maybe suggest something else that you really like seeing her wear, offer an alternative.”

Adkin told me how to define the difference between a white lie and something more serious: most white lies are to protect your partners feelings; most serious lies are about protecting yourself.

We talked about another hypothetical situation.

Say a man cheats on his wife. Adkin said the reason why the secret isn’t always shared is because the man is afraid the marriage will fall apart. He

may keep that secret because he feels he’s protecting his marriage.

“Let me say this, there are no secrets. People try to lie to hide things, but there are no secrets, everything comes out. You’re better off to tell your partner the truth.

You can be diplomatic about it if it’s something you know that’s going affect them, stress them out or hurt them personally. You can be diplomatic about it, you don’t have to hit them with a hammer in that sense.

You can be respectful of their feelings and try to tell them in a respectful way.”

When sharing something such as an affair, Adkin said it’s important to talk about how you felt and feel, and avoid commenting on your partners feelings.

“Lying never works. You’re going to get caught sooner or later,” Adkin said. “If you want to be that person, you man up and you say that you want to end the marriage. If you got drunk and did something stupid, you man up to that, too. You have to own up to your behaviour.”

Pot a hot topic at annual UBCM convention SPENCER ANDERSON DAILY NEWS

Marijuana will be among the hot topics at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver.

Local government officials from across the province are descending on the city to talk shop, attend workshops and debate resolutions intended to pressure the provincial government to make changes to legislation.

Seven of nine Nanaimo council members are slated to attend the

annual conference, which kicked off on Monday.

It will cost an estimated $9,800 to send delegates to the four-day conference, but the event is touted is an opportunity to network with both provincial and federal counterparts, as well as local peers.

Councillors Ian Thorpe and Gord Fuller are the only Nanaimo councillors not attending.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May is the only federal leader scheduled to break from campaigning to address delegates.

Premier Christy Clark is also scheduled to close out the conference and B.C. Opposition leader John Horgan is also slated to speak.

Issues like the legalization of marijuana will take a prominent place at this year’s conference.

Two resolutions are set for consideration on the topic; the first calls on the UBCM to “endorse the position that local governments have the authority to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries.”

It comes amid a public spat between the City of Vancouver, which

has begun issuing licences to marijuana dispensaries, and the federal government, which has criticized the move.

Delegates to the conference are also slated to hear from Tonia Winchester, a proponent of the successful ballot initiative to legalize marijuana in the state of Washington.

Other resolutions call on the province to eliminate the position of auditor general for local government, change legislation to allow municipalities to directly collect penalties and fees and enable local elections to

include electronic voting.

A resolution put forward by North Vancouver would have the provincial government ban corporate and union campaign contributions.

Aim of Terry Fox is one every Canadian needs to uphold

C

an it possibly be 35 years since all of Canada first heard of Terry Fox’s incredible dream?

For those of us of a certain vintage, it seems like yesterday.

Yet that dream remains as important today as ever. What for a younger generation is now grainy photos from a time before the Internet was for an elder generation a vital event in real time.

Most of us know the story, per the Terry Fox Foundation: While experiencing pain and discomfort beyond most people’s imagination, the tenacious 22-year-old Terry Fox, who lost his leg to osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer) at the age of

18, began a journey like no other.

Knowing that cancer research was severely under-funded in Canada, and not wanting anyone else to go through what he did, Terry decided to run across the country to raise money, and awareness, for cancer research. He called his journey the Marathon of Hope.

With fierce determination, he started his fundraising journey on April 12, 1980 in St John’s, N.L. He ran 42 kilometres (26 miles — a marathon a day) every day for 143 days, but was forced to stop running in Thunder Bay, Ont. when the cancer spread to his lungs.

By February of 1981, Terry’s wish of raising one dollar from every Can-

adian was realized — the Marathon of Hope fund totalled $24.17 million. In June of that same year, Terry died of cancer at age 22.

This year marked the 35th anniversary of that run, which has raised more than $600 million for cancer research so far.

Many of the folks who believed in Terry’s dream took part in the annual run on Sunday in Nanaimo and thousands of other locations across the country.

Many schools will host their own runs during the coming days as well. This is exceptionally important because we must continue to share the story of Terry Fox. The children need to learn the story

of a Canadian hero. And pass the story on through generations. Some things should not be forgotten, and neither Terry Fox nor the battle he bravely fought for all those with cancer — then and now — is one of them.

Until there’s a cure, the dream must live on.

It’s only natural that over time, a certain fatigue sets in. With so many different worthwhile events out there raising money for various causes, after 35 years, a new generation might not feel the same connection their predecessors did.

But virtually all of us have had our lives affected by cancer. Almost every one of us has had a family member, close friend or colleague deal with one

form or another of the vile disease.

Too often the outcome is tragic.

The courage and determination shown by Terry Fox is often on full display in each of those individuals who refuse to succumb to an illness that can so often be beaten. It is an amazing thing to see, but also something none of us should ever see.

Thanks in large part to money raised in Terry Fox’s name, researchers continue to make huge advances in the quest for cures.

Let’s never forget to continue with that quest. » We want to hear from you.

Absence of Green leader in debate is a dishonour Earlier this year some of the usual suspects, right wing media and local writers, climbed all over Elizabeth May for her F-bomb at the correspondents dinner.

Later, one letter writer offered up how it wasn’t that big of a deal that Stephen Harper wouldn’t show up for network debates.

I watched the leaders debate on CPAC and wasn’t thrilled.

Since the right isn’t good at math (while claiming the opposite), I wonder if they have considered that instead of his fear Harper would be ganged up on, they all looked bad. Not two buffoons but three, simple math.

Anyone negatively reflecting on May’s absence from this farce must feel like a penny waiting for change and yes that will be lost on those who complain of trite expressions.

That F-bomb at a light-hearted alcohol-infused event sure looks pale in comparison to what was presented as serious discourse.

Many political leaders fell through arrogance A true surplus is when you have looked after all your financial obligations and still have money left over.

If you quit funding essential services, (and many services that are not essential) just for personal gain, and to make it look like you have a surplus, I think you are obviously derelict in your obligation to the Canadian people. I think this is beyond the bounds of common decency and proves once again that power corrupts. But I think that in the best interest of the Canadian people, no politician should be allowed this kind of power.

What kind of people can ignore this self-serving government action that happens all too frequently, and give their full support to keep these injustices coming?

How dare they speak of balanced budgets and surpluses when our

national debt is escalating at a tremendous rate? It now stands at $612.8 billion as opposed to $457.6 billion only five years ago. Harper is bragging about his $1.8 billion surplus while everyday our national debt increases by $2.8 billion. Does he really think that we are all idiots? Does this deceit not anger some of you?

So much for balanced budgets and surpluses.

One would think that Harper’s cavalier attitude towards the people of Canada would be an embarrassment or detriment to the B.C. Conservative party.

I’m sure that well-meaning B.C. Conservative party members don’t need this added pressure.

The political downfall of many leaders throughout history has been caused by arrogance which is fueled by an inflated ego which is caused by too much power.

This does not make for good leadership; it inhibits rational thinking.

B.C. residents must think of all Canada in voting Re: ‘Think carefully if you want political change’ (Your Letters, Daily News, Sept. 19) Re: ‘Government programs only create dependency’ (Your Letters, Daily News, Sept. 19) Gerald Hall and Casey Timmermans appear to have made their choice whom they want to run our country and want us to do the same.

I beg to differ, in the longest federal campaign in history (which the Harper Conservatives seem to think we wanted) voters for the first time in decades have a “real” choice, whom they will trust as our leaders in Ottawa.

The Harper Conservatives have had a decade to improve our lives by working with the provinces on roads, housing, sewage, water, that affects our daily lives and have failed to do so.

What progress has been made for First Nations issues during their time in power?

Their divisive policies on foreign affairs and immigration have done just that — divide us. Are we proud of our environmental record?

I am looking forward to a new government that will leave a better country, for my children and grandchildren.

Economic policy must mesh social issues and must be handled for the well-being of all of us, while watching the bottom line.

My hope is that British Columbians will think about all of Canada, when they go to vote in October.

“Personally I would like to see them remain on industrial land, because they’re sizable plants, right now — like Tilray, out at Duke Point,” said George Benson, who manages a weekly Cedar Farmers Market in the field next to the Crow and Gate Pub. The RDN heard similar concerns from people who turned out for hearings on the subject Sept. 14 at Cedar Community Hall and again the following day at Lighthouse Community Hall in Qualicum Beach.

“Currently, with provincial ALR regulations, production of medical marijuana is a designated farm use,” said Kristy Marks, RDN senior planner.

The RDN wants feedback on proposed zoning regulations it says would better support agriculture in the region.

“In general, there tends to be support for the potential changes we drafted.”

Local government can’t rewrite provincial ALR rules, but it can put

in zoning laws to control things like setbacks from property lines.

Current zoning requires a 30-metre setback for such facilities. A draft RDN bylaw would require medical marijuana production facility setbacks increased to 60 metres from non-ALR parcels, and 150 metres from uses like parks and schools, Marks said.

Area farmers, residents and other members of the public are invited to take part in the in the Agriculture Bylaw and Policy Updates Project,

BC Ferries moves closer to choosing shipyard

BC Ferries is moving closer to choosing a shipyard to convert its largest vessels to run on liquefied natural gas.

Two days of sea trials of the Spirit of Vancouver Island and Spirit of British Columbia vessels started Monday, to give Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyards, Remontowa SA of Poland and Fincantieri of Italy information they’ll need to prepare their bids.

Mid-life upgrades including conversion to dual-fuel so the ships can operate on LNG. “This is an important step in the bidding process for the shipyards so they can measure and verify vessel performance to provide the optimal propulsive machinery arrangements they submit as part of their bids,” said Mark Wilson, BC Ferries’ Vice President of Engineering.

The selection process for the shipyard is expected to take three months.

The Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district wants students who use school buses to register for the new $18,000 Z-Pass program by the end of September.

The district sent home letters to the families of bus-riding students this week explaining the program and its benefits and encouraging them to sign up for it on the district’s website at www.sd68.bc.ca.

There are approximately 1,400 students who use school buses in the district, and just about 300 have signed up so far.

District spokesman Dale Burgos said the students will be required to swipe the cards on electronic devices on the buses every time they get on one, and the data will be tabulated to determine just who uses the bus system, how often they use it and what buses they are using on any given day.

including an online survey, to be found at www.growingourfuture.ca, and at the continuing series of community events through mid-October.

The hearings continue: Sept. 28 at Arrowsmith Hall in Coombs, Oct. 1, at Nanoose Bay Elementary School, Oct. 5 at Mountain View Elementary School in Nanaimo, and Oct. 8 at Oceanside Place multipurpose room, Parksville.

All events are 4:30-7:30 p.m., with a presentation at 6:30 p.m.

Mazzelli was able to raise $5,000 for this year’s event, bringing her total contribution up to $32,000. Below, runners and walkers begin their route.

More barriers along the Rogers Creek ravine might be needed to discourage residents from braving the cliffs, says Port Alberni’s fire chief after the department performed a rescue operation Friday.

With the Alberni District Fall Fair underway south of the ravine, two young men attempted to climb on a cliff behind the Alberni Athletic Hall.

One of the youths injured his ankle, leaving him stranded approximately six metres below the edge of the steep slope.

Emergency crews from BC Ambulance and the Port Alberni Fire Department were called to the scene shortly after 11:30 a.m. A paramedic made her way down the cliff to secure the injured ankle with a splint, while firefighters above assembled a pulley system with ropes and cables attached to a rescue vehicle.

Wearing rescue gear strapped to the cables, two firefighters descended the bank of the cliff with a stretcher for the patient.

During rescue operations where an injury has occurred, proper handling of the patient is essential to prevent more damage, said fire chief Tim Pley.

“He couldn’t weight bear on that ankle,” he said.

“Because he couldn’t put weight on it, really the only way to mobilize him was to bring him up in the stretcher.”

Firefighters also secured the paramedic to a harness, and managed to safety scale back up the cliff with the patient by 12:47 p.m.

The youth was taken to hospital for treatment.

Every few years a rescue from the cliffs over Rogers Creek is required during Port Alberni’s annual fall fair, said Pley. Several emergencies have occurred in the ravine over the years, including the rescue of two teenagers who were stranded partway up a steep cliff near North Island College in late February.

CANADA VOTES!

Candidates discuss accelerating treaty process for First Nations DAILY NEWS

Canada heads to the polls on Oct. 19.

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

Today marks the fourth in a series of questions posed to local candidates.

Their responses (candidates listed alphabetically) are listed below.

Today’s question: How would you accelerate the treaty process for First Nations on the Island?

Mark MacDonald, Conservative Since 2006, the Conservative government and its negotiation partners have signed six comprehensive land claims agreements (modern treaties), and two self-government agreements.

In British Columbia the Tsawwassen First Nation in 2009, and the five Maa-nulth First Nations in 2011 were included, and they are implementing their Final Agreements. The Yale First Nation Final Agreement in British Columbia was signed on April 13, 2013 and the Tla’amin Final Agreement in British Columbia was signed on April 11, 2014.

In 2014 the Conservative government announced interim measures that address key obstacles to concluding treaties in British Columbia and across Canada. We have made progress on important changes to Canada’s own source revenue policy; resuming treaty fisheries negotiations in British Columbia that were deferred pending the Cohen Report; and we are employing an additional approach to achieving certainty that was developed in partnership with British Columbia and First Nations through the BC Common Table process.

The government also appointed Doug Eyford to engage with Aboriginal groups and stakeholders on Comprehensive Land Claims Policy Renewal.

Eyford has recently completed a thorough review with comprehensive recommendations that the government is considering, and some of these recommendations have already started to be implemented.

Progress has been made, and a Conservative government would see that continue. We have been clear that our vision is of a future in which Aboriginal families and communities are healthy, safe, self-sufficient and prosperous within Canada.

ments have refused to negotiate a treaty that includes lands that are privately-owned.

This historic mistake needs to be corrected.

Most of this private land is owned by forest companies, and there needs to be a deal that swaps private land for crown timber licenses, and/or provides concessions to the forest companies for developing some of the land under private forest management.

Where appropriate, First Nations can and should be given the option to manage federal and provincial assets so that they will have an economic base for their communities. The Snuneymuxw management of Newcastle Provincial Park is an example of how this can work.

MANLY

TESSIER

First Nations people from my work through the Islands Trust. As chair, I was honoured to sign a government-to-government protocol between the Snuneymuxw First Nation and the Islands Trust, establishing a relationship of respect and cooperation in planning, land-use management, and heritage conservation.

I am running for federal office in large measure because I want to be part of repairing the damaged relationship with Indigenous people at the highest level. The NDP’s Jean Crowder, as Official Opposition Critic for Aboriginal Affairs, has laid the groundwork — with no co-operation from the Harper Conservatives.

The Conservatives have failed to engage with First Nations, slowed down treaty negotiations and delayed ratification and implementation of those that were completed. They have also refused to work with First Nations on pressing issues such as fish allocation, despite Court rulings that made the federal government’s obligations clear.

Creating meaningful treaties with First Nations will be a priority for an NDP government and will be led by the Prime Minister.

We support the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and our commitment goes beyond treaties to restoring this crucial relationship and working toward true reconciliation. We will provide federal negotiators with strong and flexible mandates, putting an end to the

frustrating, fragmented lack of action experienced by First Nations under Stephen Harper.

Our co-ordinated and cross-government approach to negotiating treaties with First Nations will be grounded in respect.

It will be a priority for the Prime Minister and our Government, and it will produce results. It is time to get on with creating meaningful and modern government-to-government treaties in B.C. and, as your Member of Parliament for Nanaimo-Ladysmith, I will be part of making that happen.

Paul Manly, Green Party One of the main impediments to the treaty process on the east coast of Vancouver Island is the privatization of land from the E&N land grant that was part of the deal to bring B.C. into confederation in 1871. In addition to $750,000, Robert Dunsmuir was given almost all of the land from Campbell River south to Jordan River, and inland as far west as Port Alberni, approximately 800,000 acres (323,749 hectares), in exchange for building the E&N railway.

The total of the E&N land grants was almost 20 per cent of the Island, and included the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Snuneymuxw, who had negotiated a treaty with the crown in 1854.

The modern treaty process has been stalled because there is very little Crown land to negotiate, and the federal and provincial govern-

Tim Tessier, Liberal Liberals have a vision for real change to the federal government’s relationship with Aboriginal peoples. We will recognize Aboriginal governments as full partners in the federation, and we will work with Indigenous Peoples to create fairness and equality of opportunity.

Indigenous Peoples make up the fastest-growing segment of the Canadian population, and we know that strengthening economic outcomes and opportunities for First Nations is critical to our shared economic future.

We will ensure a renewed nation-tonation relationship between the federal government and Indigenous peoples.

We will also provide substantial new funding to support the ability of Indigenous communities to promote, preserve and enhance Indigenous languages and cultures. Knowledge of one’s language is directly related to better physical, mental and spiritual health. We know from experience the vital role that language revitalization plays in building strong communities, and a reconnection to identity.

A Liberal government will focus on: developing a reconciliation framework; holding mandatory annual meetings between the prime minister and First Nations chiefs; and working to implement the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by establishing a National Council of Reconciliation.

We will work to ensure: a return to the principles and objectives of the Kelowna Accord; a new fiscal relationship starting with lifting the two percent cap on funding for First Nations programs; significant investments in education; and an immediate national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

Conservative candidate John Duncan has climbed to within six points, according to an Insights West poll on behalf of the Dogwood Initiative. Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson and Green candidate Glenn Sollitt were in third and fourth place, respectively.

The Dogwood Initiative is a non-partisan citizen advocacy organization tracking voter interest in the buildup to next month’s federal election.

Among decided voters, the new poll showed 39 per cent support the NDP, 33 per cent Conservatives, 13 per

cent Liberals and 12 per cent Green.

The margin of error is 5.5 per cent.

“It could almost be considered a statistical tie. It is a proper sample, at 300. Next time we’re going to do 400.

That will cut the margin of error in half,” said Dave Mills, field organizer.

Mayor wary of regional water discussions AUREN RUVINSKY PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

While Qualicum Beach Mayor Teunis Westbroek said he is wary of regional water management discussion, Coun. Bill Luchtmeijer suggests a different perspective.

“Maybe we should be thinking a little bit out of the box, that may be a massive opportunity for us,” Luchtmeijer said, referencing Coun. Barry Avis’ remarks about Parksville having both “massive” water problems and “massive” development plans.

“We have water, we have lots of water. It might be an opportunity to sell bulk water to Parksville,” he said, throwing it for general consideration.

“Someone else is having a problem, we might be able to help them along, at the same time generate some revenue to cover our costs.

“It’s not necessarily our water but it is our extraction system and delivery system, so let’s think opportunity here.”

Chief Administrative Officer Daniel Sailland later said, “We haven’t had that discussion yet,” suggesting that if council wanted to pursue it, that it would be the start of a long term discussion and process.

He said “water is obviously a hot topic,” that will continue to come up in various contexts. The town does have the ability to pump and measure large amounts of water into trucks for things like firefighting, Sailland said, but he wasn’t sure if there are currently sufficient connections to pipe water to Parksville.

Luchtmeijer’s suggestion was in reference to Westbroek expanding on comments he made at a Regional District of Nanaimo meeting.

The RDN board had been discussing the possibility of developing a regional water governance model.

In 2011, Qualicum Beach opted not to join the Englishman River Water Service, formed to build a new river water intake and treatment plant in Parksville, citing the strength of their existing water supply.

RDN CAO Paul Thorkelsson previously said there have been calls from the community for “an approach to governance that recognizes those boundaries that exist for municipalities don’t make any sense, we’re in this together, it’s a bigger issue than boundaries.”

“I’m kind of leery about turning over our control over our water supply,” Westbroek said at last week’s town council meeting.

“Whether it’s communicating restrictions, or pricing, or managing our water sources. I think Qualicum Beach — our staff — does a tremendous job. I think a lot of cities could learn from us, we’ve planned our supply well, we’ve bought our recharge areas . . . and I think we need the water supply for our future growth, which will happen eventually, and also to provide water for our own food production. I was speaking against the idea that we would be part of a governance set up between the (RDN) and other municipalities in our area.”

Miley Cyrus confident in battle against wolf cull

Miley Cyrus didn’t see any wolves, but her visit to British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest convinced her that killing wolves to save endangered caribou is wrong, says the conservation group that hosted the music superstar.

Cyrus and her brother Braison spent the weekend around Klemtu, about 600 kilometres north of Vancouver, meeting with wolf experts and local First Nations.

“She had a dozen grizzly bears wandering the estuary around her as they were feeding on salmon,” Pacific Wild director Ian McAllister said Monday.

“She got to see humpback whales breaching 20 feet from the boat. It was really a supernatural experience for her in the wilds of B.C.” But the closest Cyrus got to a wolf was seeing tracks, he said.

Cyrus recently asked her 28.8 million Instagram followers to sign a Pacific Wild petition to stop the wolf cull in B.C. The petition has since grown to almost 200,000 signatures.

Premier Christy Clark reacted sharply to Cyrus’s call to end the wolf kill earlier this month, saying the singer didn’t know enough about B.C.’s environmental plan to be jumping into the debate.

Toilet humour could help fix clogged sewers

Metro Vancouver hopes toilet humour will be a better weapon than gross-out reality in persuading residents to stop flushing disposable wet wipes that clog the sewers.

The regional district is testing a new public education campaign, rolling out in Pitt Meadows first, that calls itself “your guide to adult toilet training.”

It features supposedly helpful tonguein-cheek tip cards like “check for tp before you pp”, “bathrooms: not a good place for a selfie” and “don’t flush keys or cellphones” alongside a more frequent message: “never flush wipes.”

An informative video goes further, cautioning against flushing other “unflushables” – such as tampons, dental floss and hair – in fact anything other than the “fellowship of the throne: pee, poo and toilet paper.”

holder and at a game against Seattle on Saturday she made a comment on Twitter about the Seattle team that some say amounts to trash talk that a premier should avoid. She referred to the Sounders as the Seattle Princesses in a reference to what she called the numerous miraculous injury recoveries by players who were fouled by the Whitecaps.

“The Seattle Princesses are putting on quite a performance tonight,” she said in the tweet.

Critics immediately rebuked the premier, saying she was setting a poor example.

“I HATE the Sounders, however I also am raising a daughter in this province. #embarrassing,” one response to her tweet said.

Another user responded by saying: “I get it. You’re making fun of athletes by calling them women ... Very funny.”

Clark was not immediately available to comment. The first-place Whitecaps lost 3-0 to the Sounders.

When asked about Clark’s tweet at Monday’s practice, Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson smiled before saying he

had no comment. He then went on to congratulate Seattle on the win.

“They beat us and they won the game,” he said. “I made a point of going around and shaking every Seattle player’s hand on the weekend.

“If you want to win and enjoy it when you do win, which we do, you’ve got to lose gracefully, and we lost gracefully on the weekend.”

JUSTICE

Charges in arsons, shootings that targeted staff at B.C. Justice Institute THE CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY — Two people, including an alleged gang associate, face arson and firearms charges in a mysterious reign of terror that targeted people loosely connected to British Columbia’s Justice Institute.

The pieces of a complex four-year investigation began coming together for police when 15 seemingly random victims were linked to the institute, which trains police officers and first responders.

Some of the victims whose homes or vehicles were set ablaze or shot at had parked at the training centre’s parking lot while taking their children to a function next door, said Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.

“Although the intent was to target people who were likely associated with law enforcement and the justice institute, other people who weren’t connected in any way to the (institute) were being targeted,” Hackett told a news conference Monday.

Twenty-three attacks took place between April 2011 and January 2012 in several municipalities around southwestern B.C., including Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby and Maple Ridge.

Many of the victims were at home during the attacks and the ordeal has been stressful for them, Hackett said.

“Their lives are at risk, either from a stray bullet or an intended bullet entering into that residence or the house burning down around you,” he said. “That’s going to put fear into your family and fear into yourself.”

The justice institute received a threatening email in January 2011 referencing nine people, eight of whom had already had their property attacked.

The arsons and shootings subsided in 2012, but several of the victims were terrorized again when they received suspicious letters in the mail last winter. One letter warned the attacks would resume in the new year, Hackett said.

Police believe an Insurance Corp. of B.C. employee used the victims’ licence plate numbers to access their personal information.

Hackett said the employee has been identified, but has not been arrested.

Two men were arrested in connection with the attacks Friday, more than four years after the attacks began.

Vincent Cheung, 40, of Langley, allegedly orchestrated the attacks, and faces 23 firearms and arson charges.

Hackett said Cheung is associated with the United Nations gang, and police believe criminal ties were used to help carry out the attacks.

Thurman Taffe, 54, of Burnaby, has

been charged with a single count of arson.

Both men are in custody and expected to appear in court in Vancouver on Oct. 1.

Hackett declined to provide a possible motive for the crimes, saying details would emerge in court.

“This investigation was complicated and made even more challenging by the efforts of the accused to disguise their attempts through cunning and calculated misdirection,” he said.

Though Hackett said he doesn’t believe the victims are still in danger, the investigation is ongoing.

“We know there are still people who have additional information about these offences and this investigation

is continuing with further arrests and charges anticipated,” Hackett said.

The RCMP’s Lower Mainland Chief Supt. Jodie Boudreau said police from various jurisdictions worked on the complicated case.

“Ongoing intelligence work, information sharing and the expertise of investigators were instrumental in helping us figure out how the pieces fit together and how they contributed to the whole picture,” she said.

Boudreau said police are grateful for the victims’ patience.

“I imagine many of the victims are still feeling the emotional impact of the crimes today, regardless of this outcome.”

Nanaimo soldier walks with help of exoskeleton

Crown wants 20 years for prostitution case THE CANADIAN PRESS

A

Nanaimo soldier who suffered a devastating brain injury in Afghanistan took his first few public steps today in Surrey in a customized high-tech exoskeleton.

Retired Capt. Trevor Greene had been told he would never walk again after the vicious axe attack in 2006.

But Greene – who told his kids “Daddy’s bionic” – proved he has battled back, with personal determination and help from SFU researchers.

SFU neuroscientist and professor Dr. Ryan D’Arcy asked Greene to partner with him in 2009 in a research project to explore how brain plasticity affects motor functions.

Plasticity refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize its neural pathways and synapses in response to different behaviours, thoughts or emotions.

The two have since met regularly for D’Arcy to collect functional magnetic resonance imaging scans of Greene’s brain, which D’Arcy uses to track how the brain rewires itself.

D’Arcy and his research team challenge the current assumptions that after a traumatic brain injury, any further recovery ceases to happen over the long-term.

His team discovered physical functions can be recovered through rehabilitation even six years after an injury.

In 2014, D’Arcy called on SFU mechatronics engineer Carolyn Sparrey to see if she could customize an exoskeleton that would suit the unique requirements of the six-footfour Greene.

Exoskeletons are typically designed for those with spinal cord injuries as an assistive technology providing lower leg movement. Sparrey notes

Capt. Trevor Greene now can walk, with assistance, in an exoskeleton.

that this is the first time exoskeleton technology has been used for a person with a brain injury.

Today, a crowd witnessed the fruits of what has come to be called Project Iron Soldier.

Greene is now able to walk upright with assistance, outfitted with a custom-made exoskeleton from Israel-based company, ReWalk. In the future he plans to walk unassisted. Ultimately, he says his goal is to make it to Everest base camp.

A ReWalk company trainer has supported Greene by customizing the motorized exoskeleton so that Greene can wear the battery pack as a backpack.

“Trevor has been extremely committed to his rehabilitation program,” says D’Arcy.

Greene’s positive attitude was never

more poignantly demonstrated than when he stood, using parallel bars, at his 2010 wedding to wife Deborah.

“This newest dimension in his rehabilitation, wearing exoskeletons to walk again, enables SFU faculty members to track research milestones in a real-life scenario while making a positive impact on his life,” says D’Arcy.

SFU vice-president of research Dr. Joy Johnson said the success shows why SFU puts great value on interdisciplinary research that can turn ideas into action.

“This is such a heartwarming story of courage and determination, and of the power of collaboration to push beyond seemingly impenetrable boundaries.”

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man found guilty of luring teenage girls into prostitution should spend more than 20 years behind bars, says a Crown lawyer.

Prosecutor Kristin Bryson argued in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday that Reza Moazami should serve back-to-back sentences for each of his 11 victims, who ranged in age from 14 to 19.

In the first human-trafficking conviction in the province, Moazami was convicted last September of 30 of 36 charges laid against him, including sexual exploitation, sexual assault and living off the avails of prostitution.

The court heard during his trial that Moazami recruited vulnerable girls by promising them drugs, alcohol and, in one instance, a puppy.

“Crime must not get cheaper by the dozen,” Bryson told the court, quoting an earlier judgment to bolster her case.

Moazami was arrested in 2011 and spent three years and seven months in custody, meaning the Crown’s proposed sentence would amount to a further 17 years of imprisonment.

A sentencing hearing was scheduled initially for early December but was delayed after Moazami fired his counsel.

Moazami was present for the sentencing hearing and wore jeans and an untucked, neatly pressed, blue dress shirt.

When not staring ahead passively he fidgeted in his seat and periodically hunched forward to scribble notes on a yellow pad of legal paper.

Kids Surf Classic contest very popular NORA O’MALLEY WESTERLY NEWS

A fleet of 101 neoprene-clad kids stormed North Chesterman Beach in Tofino to paddle out at the 2nd Annual Bruhwiler Kids Surf Classic.

Despite relentless rain, the kids were all stoked on Saturday. Powered by hot chocolate and hot dogs, they marched into cold water, starting with the U10 Girls at 9 a.m. and wrapping with the U18 Boys Final at 3:05 p.m.

While the waves were pushing about a metre out back, the whitewash was where the action took place and where most of the young competitors earned points for: commitment shown on a wave, length of ride, and ability to perform any basic maneuver.

Canadian surfing icon and event organizer Raph Bruhwiler said the Bruhwiler Kids Surf Classic competition, along with the Queen of the Peak and the Rip Curl Pro, are key events to developing local talent from an early age.

“You’re naturally competitive when you’re young and it’s something to push them.

“And that’s the thing, when we were growing up there weren’t that many contests and we all wanted to do them, but you gotta drive down to California. The kids there do one every weekend .”

Raph Bruhwiler, organizer

“That’s how they progress. They surf with people that are better than them,” said the Coast Guard member and father of three.

“The more contests there are, the better they’ll be at surfing contests, really. It’s just practice. And that’s the thing, when we were growing up there weren’t that many contests and we all wanted to do them, but you gotta drive down to California. The kids there do one every weekend,” Bruhwiler said.

Parents are clearly eager for big surf days

as well. The Bruhwilers had to cut registration off at 101 kids this year – 51 entrants were slotted into the competitive division and 50 into the expression sessions.

Bruhwiler told the Westerly News that his family plans on keeping their namesake surf competition going next year.

“It’s good to keep the kids in the ocean.

We have it here so we might as well use it,” he said.

And while the kids contest was heavily focused on fun, with a girls vs. boys tug-ofwar (girls won), a craft station, and several prize giveaways, the kids definitely weren’t ignorant to the fact that they were in competition.

Eight-year-old Karson Gibson placed fourth in the U10 Boys division. His ultimate goal? “I want to come in first in every event I enter,” he said with a grin.

Like most competitors at North Chesterman Beach on Saturday, Gibson learned to surf almost before he could run fast or jump. Now, he regularly practices at South Chesterman’s with his older sister Haydin and friends from Tofino.

One of Moazami’s two lawyers began Monday’s hearing by asking that Justice Catherine Bruce reconsider her judgment on his client’s five convictions of living off the avails of prostitution.

Lawyer Jeremy Fung argued those convictions were no longer constitutional because the Supreme Court of Canada’s one-year delay in overturning the country’s prostitution laws had expired since Moazami’s conviction.

The country’s top court struck down Canada’s prostitution laws in December 2013, but gave the government a year to establish new legislation.

Bruce rejected Fung’s argument, saying what mattered was that the laws were constitutional at the time of Moazami’s conviction.

“Mr. Moazami may have an appeal,” she said.

“But I’ve convicted him and I’m going to sentence him.”

Speaking outside the courtroom, defence lawyer Brian Coleman said he would push for a sentence of “significantly less” than 17 years, but declined to provide specifics.

Moazami testified in his own defence at his trial, saying he didn’t know the teens were underage and that he hadn’t been living off the money they earned while having sex with a dozen men a day on average.

He is scheduled to appear in court next month to face additional charges of breaching his bail conditions and obstructing justice.

In both instances he allegedly made contact with victims, once online while on bail and once through a third party while in custody at a pre-trial centre.

ECONOMY

Canada not resource reliant, says top banker ANDY BLATCHFORD THE CANADIAN PRESS

The governor of the Bank of Canada is rejecting the notion that the country is excessively dependent on its natural resources sector, arguing that the economy remains highly diversified.

Stephen Poloz made the remarks Monday during a question-and-answer period that followed his speech in Calgary — in a province where the energy sector has been hit hard by the plunge in oil prices.

“You gotta believe it’s better to have some of this stuff than not to have that stuff,” Poloz said of commodities in response to a question from the audience at the event hosted by Calgary Economic Development, a non-profit group that promotes growth in the city.

Poloz described natural resources

POLOZ

as Canada’s “backbone” because they represent about 20 per cent of the economy, adding that other sectors remain, in some ways, dependent on it to perform well.

Meanwhile, Poloz said he doesn’t “fret about it.”

“We’re a highly diversified economy and we should be thankful that we’ve got resources as part of our diversification, whereas lots of other countries don’t have that,” he added.

Poloz’s speech came amid a difficult period for the Canadian economy, which contracted over the first two quarters of 2015 and pushed the country into a technical recession.

The steep fall in the price of crude oil, which closed just below US$47 a barrel Monday after falling from a high of US$107 last year, has been slapped with much of the blame for the shrinking economy. The economy has also been hindered by slower than predicted rebounds in other sectors.

As a result, experts, including the Bank of Canada, have downgraded growth projections for the country.

Forecasters, however, have predicted

the economy will improve in the last half of the year.

The gloomier economic conditions to kick off 2015 quickly became a focal point for much political debate in the current federal election campaign.

Both NDP Leader Tom Mulcair and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau have accused Conservative Leader Stephen Harper of putting all his eggs in one basket when it came to the oil sector.

Poloz said when the commodity cycle dips, a resource-dependent economy such as Canada’s should be prepared to make adjustments.

In his speech, he said the resource sector should remain undeterred from making long-term investments despite recent price drops.

Poloz reminded his audience how the economy benefited significantly in recent years from rising com-

modity prices. As an example, he highlighted how the price of copper had tripled while oil and nickel more than doubled between 2008 and 2010.

“We shouldn’t ignore the resources that we have been blessed with,” Poloz said.

“Without those investments (years ago), we would never have been able to capitalize on the higher prices, which boosted Canada’s aggregate income.”

Business leaders in the oil industry told the central bank earlier this year they would be cutting investments by about 40 per cent because of the steep price drop, which has not recovered as quickly as anticipated, Poloz said. He added that in recent weeks these companies were still revising their longer-term forecasts for the price of oil.

Oilsands water usage questioned in study BOB WEBER THE CANADIAN PRESS

A new study says rules governing how much water oilsands plants can take from the Athabasca River aren’t based on enough information and don’t account for how low flows can get in the crucial waterway.

It’s the second recent paper that questions assumptions about water use in the region and comes after withdrawal permits from the river were suspended due to low levels.

“There’s much more variability than what we’ve experienced, or than what we’ve measured,” said David Sauchyn of the University of Regina, whose paper was published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Sauchyn said allocations from the Athabasca have been based on flow data from monitoring stations set up in the river.

He points out that data only goes back a few decades and that good, consistent information doesn’t exist before the 1950s.

Official statistics don’t even include the drought of the 1930s, one of the driest periods in the historical record.

Sauchyn and his colleagues used a scientifically well-established method of using tree rings to estimate water flows going back 900 years.

They found the river level has fluctuated much more widely than the last 62 years of records suggest.

Although the Athabasca’s flow rate has never had a yearly average of less than 200 cubic metres per second during the recorded period, Sauchyn found it has dropped below that level 36 times since about 1100 AD. The 200-level translates into a winter flow of about 46 cubic metres per second. Over the next decade, the Alberta government estimates oilsands demand will grow to 16 metres per second, meaning industry could be removing more than a third of the river’s entire winter flow.

“We’ve been able to withstand singleyear droughts pretty well. But if it gets to three, five, 10, 20, like we saw in the past, that is a much more challenging scenario” David Sauchyn, University of Regina

Sauchyn also found that low-flow periods sometimes lasted more than a decade.

“We’ve been able to withstand single-year droughts pretty well,” he said. “But if it gets to three, five, 10, 20, like we saw in the past, that is a much more challenging scenario.”

The study also exposed the role of long-term, large-scale climate cycles in the Athabasca’s flow.

North America is currently in the wet phase of a 60-year cycle. When the dry phase returns, it will do so with the Athabasca already experiencing declining average flows.

“It’ll compound the problem. It’s a double whammy.”

Sauchyn’s paper follows one in August that concluded climate change will further decrease flows in the Athabasca by reducing the amount of water stored as snow in the river’s headwaters.

That paper in the publication Climate Change suggested that by mid-century — well within the expected lifespan of most oilsands developments — low water levels leading to withdrawal disruptions could increase by up to 40 per cent.

Industry is taking steps to reduce its dependence on the Athabasca. Oilsands producers have committed to cut water use by 30 per cent by 2022.

Sauchyn said his research applies to allocations of water from other rivers as well.

Coup leader says he will hand over power

Petrobras scandal leads to 15-year prison term

Ex-Nobel member said to be in breach of trust

Archaeologists think Maccabees tomb found

Colombian, Venezuelan leaders set to meet

The Burkina Faso general who seized power in a coup last week apologized to the nation Monday and said he would hand over control to a civilian transitional government after the military warned that its forces would converge on the capital and forcibly disarm the soldiers behind the power grab.

Gen. Gilbert Diendere said his presidential guard unit “confirms our commitment to giving power back to civilian authorities,” in a communique issued to journalists.”

That was one of the key conditions of a draft agreement that resulted from weekend negotiations with regional mediators, but it had been unclear until his announcement whether the junta would abide by those terms.

The former treasurer of Brazil’s governing Workers’ Party was sentenced Monday to over 15 years in prison for his role in a kickback scheme at state-run oil company Petrobras.

Joao Vaccari was found guilty of taking at least $1 million in bribes, including money handed over in the form of campaign donations made by oil field services company Toyo Setal between 2008 and 2012, according to the ruling by federal judge Sergio Moro.

Described by authorities as the biggest corruption scheme ever uncovered in Brazil, the scandal has shaken the nation’s political and business establishment. Over 50 sitting congressmen and other top political officials are under investigation.

The secretive Nobel Peace Prize committee has accused its former secretary of a breach of trust by revealing details about its proceedings in a book published last week.

The committee says that Geir Lundestad, who stepped down last year after 25 years as its non-voting secretary, had like other members signed a statement saying he understood that the vow of silence about the committee’s discussions and decisions about the candidates and the award applied for 50 years.

In his book, Secretary of Peace, Lundestad wrote, among other things, that the 2009 award to President Barack Obama failed to live up to the panel’s expectations.

Lundestad declined comment.

Israeli archaeologists may be one step closer to solving a riddle that has vexed explorers for more than a century: the location of the fabled tomb of the biblical Maccabees.

Israel’s government Antiquities Authority said Monday that an ancient structure it began excavating this month on the side of a highway appears to match ancient descriptions of the tomb of Jewish rebels who wrested control of Judea from Seleucid rule and established a Jewish kingdom in the 2nd century B.C. Scholars in Israel’s archaeological community tend to agree that the site, in an Israeli forest west of Jerusalem and a short walk from the West Bank, is a significant burial site but reserve judgment about its connection to the Maccabees.

The leaders of Colombia and Venezuela travelled to Ecuador on Monday in a bid to ease tension that has paralyzed trade and movement along the border.

The crisis began when President Nicolas Maduro deported some 1,500 Colombians migrants he blamed for the smuggling that has helped empty Venezuelan supermarket shelves.

Another 16,000 Colombians, some of whom have lived in Venezuela for years, fled voluntarily, fearing reprisals from Venezuelan troops who were seen bulldozing homes and forcing residents to flee across a river separating the two countries with their belongings on their backs.

Monday’s meeting was brokered by Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa.

Harper, Mulcair blast Trudeau for saying he will scrap F-35 fighter deal MIKE BLANCHFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The politics of military procurement preoccupied the federal leaders Monday as they fired rhetorical missiles at each other over the future of Canada’s ill-fated attempt to buy new fighter jets.

Stephen Harper and Tom Mulcair both blasted Justin Trudeau for announcing a day earlier he would scrap the multibillion-dollar purchase of 65 F-35 stealth fighters to replace the current aging fleet of CF-18s, and reinvest the savings into the navy.

The Conservative and NDP leaders both said it showed a lack of judgment by the Liberal leader.

The heightened rhetoric was reflective of the high stakes at play with military procurement: it is a political hot potato because it usually represents the government’s biggest capital expenditure of taxpayers’ money.

Asked Monday about what they thought of the Liberal leader’s plan to scrap the F-35, Harper questioned “what planet” Trudeau was living on, while Mulcair said Trudeau was prejudging the public tendering process.

Experts say the F-35 purchase would cost taxpayers about $44 billion over the four-decade lifespan of the Lockheed Martin jets.

Trudeau, however, stood his ground, saying there are other, less

expensive, proven options already flying that would meet the requirements to replace the CF-18s.

One of Trudeau’s foreign policy advisers, the retired Lt-Gen. Andrew Leslie who is running as a Liberal candidate in an Ottawa riding, said any of the other aircraft options would cost 15 to 30 per cent less than the F-35.

The savings, he said, would be spent on upgrades for the navy, which he characterized as being in a state of “crisis.”

Leslie is one of the Liberals’ star candidates, and the party activated him Monday as the campaign trail debate focused on military procurement.

The F-35 saga has been fraught with controversy, plagued by malfunctions and cost overruns. The project is on hold after the auditor general offered a scathing critique of the procurement.

The Harper government has since said it will extend the lifespan of the current CF-18 fleet to 2025 and

it’s unclear if and when it intends to continue with the stealth fighter program.

Harper has stopped short of endorsing the F-35 in recent days, but appeared incredulous on Monday that Trudeau would scrap the program, accusing him of living in a “dream world.” He said the domestic economic spinoffs in Canada for the F-35 would be “critical” for the aerospace industry and the manufacturing sector.

“Our aerospace industry has received literally hundreds of millions of dollars of contracts ... with literally billions of dollars of possibility down the road,” Harper said.

Trudeau maintained that Canada is under no contractual obligation to buy the F-35, acknowledging that the previous Liberal government committed to an international partnership to develop a prototype of the new jet fighter more than a decade ago.

Mulcair said Trudeau was showing a lack of experience in cancelling the F-35 purchase, instead of opting for an open competition between various aircraft makers, calling that “the basic rule of public administration.”

At the same time, the New Democrat leader also criticized Harper for endorsing the project in the first place, while suggesting there are cheaper and better options for the air force.

Incumbent in Winnipeg apologizes THE CANADIAN PRESS

NDP incumbent Pat Martin has apologized for salty language on the campaign trail, although it’s unclear which of his many recent remarks he is referencing.

“Over the last few days, I have used some intemperate language that I regret,” Martin, a longtime MP who is seeking re-election in Winnipeg-Centre, wrote in a statement on the weekend.

“I would like to offer an unreserved apology to my fellow candidates and to anyone else who may have taken offence to the tone and content of these remarks. I hope we can move past this and return to having a healthy discussion of the issues affecting Winnipeg-Centre voters.”

Martin called Green party candidate Don Woodstock a “son of a bitch” last week during a candidates debate. In a Huffington Post article published Saturday, Martin was quoted as saying Liberal candidate Robert-Falcon Ouellette is a “political slut” because he had considered running for different political parties before settling on the Liberals.

Martin has represented the innercity riding since 1997 and has a long history of speaking frankly. He stopped using Twitter after calling Conservatives “rat-faced whores.”

None of Martin’s words appear to have hurt his popularity. He has won an increasing share of the vote in his riding in every election since 1997 and has doubled his nearest opponent in the last three contests.

Wholesale sales fall short, says StatsCan THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canadian wholesale sales fell short of expectations in July as they held steady for the month at $55.4 billion, a hiccup among signs the economy is improving after a weak start to the year.

Economists had expected a gain of 0.7 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters.

Statistics Canada said three subsectors posted gains, led by the machinery, equipment and supplies group, to offset losses in other sectors.

In volume terms, wholesale sales fell 0.4 per cent.

“Still, despite the slight disappointment in today’s wholesaling data, the strong gain in manufacturing volumes reported last week, in addition to the healthy readings we expect from retailing to be released on Wednesday, still augur for a decent July GDP advance,” CIBC economist Nick Exarhos wrote in a brief note.

Scott Walker leaves presidential GOP contest ALEXANDER PANETTA THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — He talked about building a wall with Canada. What he found was one around the White House.

The barrier to Scott Walker’s presidential dreams went up quickly.

The Wisconsin governor has ended his presidential run after a spectacular collapse in his bid for the Republican nomination, where in the span of just a few months he went from possible front-runner to zero per cent in a national poll.

“I was sitting at church yesterday.

The pastor’s words reminded me that the Bible is full of stories about people who were called to be leaders in unusual ways,” he said Monday.

“Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field.

“With this in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately.”

He urged some of the other dozen-plus candidates to do the same.

Walker said it’s time for Republicans

WALKER

to rally around a positive, hopeful alternative to the current front-runner. He didn’t speak the name of his apparent target, Donald Trump.

Walker’s problem of microscopic poll numbers was compounded by infighting within his campaign, as rivals leaked to the media complaints about each other and occasionally about the candidate himself.

As obituaries of his campaign piled up in recent weeks, his remarks about Canada were a frequent theme.

The consensus of the Washington punditry was that Walker struck another nail into the pine box of

his presidential aspirations when he fumbled a recent question on an NBC talk show.

An interviewer asked why he kept talking about walls with Mexico and not Canada — which has had terrorists. Walker’s reply? A wall with Canada was a legitimate idea. He later clarified that, no, he didn’t favour building one.

A subsequent piece in the Washington Post was among many that listed this episode as further evidence of his unreadiness for prime time: “Walker’s performance as a candidate has contributed to questions about the trajectory of his campaign. His verbal missteps . . . have been a topic of concern among his own loyalists.”

The piece mentioned the Canadian wall idea, along with a simultaneous flip-flop on whether he supported ending the practice of citizenship-by-birthright.

Similarly, he wavered over how to handle seemingly easy questions from media about whether President Barack Obama loves the United States and is a Christian.

It was a spectacular fall for a candi-

date with a CV right out of Republican central casting.

The son of a preacher with an oft-stated admiration for Ronald Reagan, Walker was seen as a potential consensus candidate between the various factions of the party: pro-business, tea party, evangelical Christian.

As governor of Wisconsin, he’d busted unions and won three elections — two general votes and a recall. In that time span he’d stripped collective-bargaining rights for public-sector workers, and then private-sector unions, and survived monster protests at the state capitol.

In both cases, he surprised his foes and allies alike because he’d never declared those intentions during his campaigns and in the case of private-sector unions had even explicitly denied planning such a move.

But he received the verbal and financial support of the Koch brothers, the sprawling family empire with a long-standing interest in libertarian and conservative politics.

He hit an early bump in the road in March.

Leading the polls in the Republican field, Walker spoke to an enthusiastic crowd at a conservative conference in Maryland. He was asked what made him prepared to tackle foreign-policy challenges like ISIS. His reply referred to his union fight: “If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the globe,” Walker said.

The glare of front-runner’s scrutiny didn’t help.

Walker lost almost one-third of his support over the month of April, quickly tumbling from 17 per cent atop the field to 12 per cent in an average of polls by Real Clear Politics. The decline gathered speed after Trump entered the race, and the latest poll by CNN last week showed him at zero per cent nationally.

Trump rubbed salt in the wound at last week’s Republican debate.

He poked fun at Walker over his state’s expanded budget deficit: “That’s not a Democratic point.

That’s a point. That’s a fact. And when the people of Iowa found that out, I went to No. 1 and you went down the tubes.”

STELLARTON, N.S. — An off-duty police officer whose body was found near the foot of a bridge in Halifax was remembered Monday as “sweet and strong” in a funeral service that saw police officers and firefighters line a street in Stellarton, N.S., in her honour.

Hundreds of people attended the service at the First Presbyterian church in Catherine Campbell’s hometown and heard her aunt, Mandy Wong, describe her niece as an adventurous person who also had a gentle touch with children.

She remembered how Campbell would often bend down on her knee to speak to children to ensure they weren’t afraid of police officers.

“She never would have imagined the effect she would have,” she said.

“Catherine was brave and beautiful and sweet and strong.”

Eddie Stewart, a retired volunteer firefighter, placed a firefighter’s helmet in a hearse after the service.

He described Campbell, who was 36, as a vivacious woman who one minute would grab a tool belt and help someone build their deck, and the next be wearing a party dress and “be looking great.”

Mike O’Sullivan, who served with Campbell during her 10 years as a volunteer firefighter in Stellarton, said the family is known in the community for its devotion to community service.

“Catherine’s been here at the station since she could walk, and it’s a terrible loss for our community,” he said.

Campbell’s father Dwight, the chief of Stellarton’s volunteer fire department, and her mother Susan walked into the church beneath the outstretched cranes of fire trucks from Stellarton and Truro.

Some Canada sales halted

by VW in emissions scandal CEO apologizes after revelations that the company had rigged U.S. emissions tests PETER HENDERSON THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Volkswagen Canada has told dealers to stop selling diesel-powered vehicles involved in an emissions-testing scandal that has drawn the ire of American regulators.

Spokesman Thomas Tetzlaff said in an email that the voluntary move comes as the Canadian division of the automaker is working with its American counterpart and parent company in Germany to resolve the issue.

Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn apologized on Sunday following revelations last week that the company had rigged U.S. emissions tests for about 500,000 diesel cars.

Tetzlaff said nearly all of the company’s Volkswagen-branded diesel cars are included in the stop sale order in Canada, including the Jetta, the Golf and the Beetle.

No mention was made of what is to happen with cars already on the road.

On Friday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Volkswagen used a device programmed to detect when the cars are undergoing official emissions testing. The software device then turns off the emissions controls during normal driving situations, allowing the cars to emit more than the legal limit of pollutants.

Volkswagen marketed the diesel-powered cars as being better for the environment.

The affected models are the diesel versions of the 2009 through 2015 Jetta, the 2010 through 2015 Golf, the 2013 through 2015 Beetle, the 2012 through 2015 Passat, and the 2009 through 2015 Golf Wagon.

Those models account for fourfifths of the Volkswagen brand’s sales in Canada, although the company

Crew from fishing boat rescued in Arctic waters Nine crew members from a Newfoundland fishing boat have been rescued from Arctic waters off Baffin Island.

The Halifax-based Joint Task Force Atlantic issued a Tweet on Monday night saying the mission was a success and the fishers had been taken aboard FV Pamiut.

The task force gave credit to the co-operation between Canadian Forces, the coast guard and civilian vessels.

A Canadian Forces Hercules airplane dropped a radio to the crew and communication was established.

The stricken vessel was recently profiled by CBC-TV. The 21-metre, $2.5-million Atlantic Charger, owned by Bradley Watkins of Cottlesville, N.L., is considered a state-of-the-art fishing vessel.

does not disclose how many of its sales are for diesel-powered cars.

The EPA said VW’s Audi luxury brand had also attempted to circumvent emissions regulations on the Audi A3, but Volkswagen Canada did not say the Audi was a part of the order.

VW has already halted sales of some vehicles in the U.S. and pledged to co-operate with regulators in an investigation that could, in theory, see the company fined up to $18 billion.

Environment Canada said its air pollution standards are in line with those of the EPA and that it collaborates with the American agency on emissions testing.

However, it did not say whether the company would face any sanctions in this country when asked in an email.

“The department is in discussions with its U.S. EPA counterparts to further examine this issue and assess potential implications for Canada,” department spokesman Mark Johnson said.

In his apology, Winterkorn said the company had “broken the trust of our customers and the public.”

Guido Reinking, a German auto expert, said that for a company to engage in such blatant trickery the company’s top executives would have to be informed.

Winterkorn, an engineer by training, led research and development

across the VW group from 2007. He became chairman of the management board the same year.

“It’s almost impossible to imagine that he didn’t know about this special way of programming the engine,” Reinking told German television station n-tv.

The EPA has ordered VW to fix cars sold in the U.S. at its own expense but said car owners do not need to take any immediate action. The EPA insisted that the violations do not pose any safety hazard and said the cars remain legal to drive and sell while Volkswagen comes up with a plan to recall and repair them.

However, it said the cars pose a threat to public health.

Panel turns to Europe for facts on assisted dying TORONTO — The head of a panel looking into legislative options to govern doctor-assisted death says a recent fact-finding tour in Europe has opened members’ eyes to the many complexities surrounding a practice that’s soon to become legal in Canada.

Dr. Harvey Max Chochinov said he and the two other members of the External Panel recently returned from an intensive 11-day study of how physician-aided dying has been implemented in the Netherlands,

Belgium and Switzerland, where patients can legally have their deaths hastened.

“We learned a tremendous amount from experts who have a great deal of experience with end-of-life regimes in their countries,” said Chochinov, Canada Research Chair in Palliative Care at the University of Manitoba.

“We saw people from such diverse perspectives — people who still continue to struggle with the issue of physician-hastened dying and are very much opposed to it,” he said Monday from Winnipeg.

“And we saw others who were, of

course, much more comfortable and described this as something that has become part of their cultural experience around death and dying.”

Chochinov, Ryerson professor emerita Catherine Frazee and University of Ottawa law professor Benoit Pelletier were appointed to the panel by the Harper government in July, following the Supreme Court of Canada’s February decision to overturn the ban on doctor-assisted suicide and euthanasia.

The high court ruled that Canadians with unbearable and irremediable suffering could be eligible to end

their lives with a doctor’s aid, but the justices stayed their decision until February 2016 to give Parliament time to replace the existing law if it so chooses.

The panel also consulted with two major groups offering assisted-dying services in Switzerland: Dignitas, a group that helps people — including foreigners — with a terminal illness or severe physical and mental illnesses to die; and EXIT, an aid-in-dying organization that helps people plan for the end of life with the best available information and the support of family and friends.

The Quebec mayor who went to the Supreme Court to have the right to say a prayer at the beginning of municipal council meetings says he will step down when his mandate expires in two years.

The Supreme Court ruled last April the reading of a Catholic prayer at council meetings infringes on freedom of conscience and religion.

The ruling ended an eight-year legal battle that pitted atheist Alain Simoneau and a secular-rights organization against Saguenay Mayor Jean Tremblay.

Tremblay, 66, said at the time he would comply with the judgment even though he didn’t agree with it.

He was elected mayor of Chicoutimi in 1997 and four years later became mayor of the merged community of Saguenay, about 250 kilometres north of Quebec City.

Security tight in Cuba after pope is confronted NICOLE WINFIELD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Old Balkan rivalries resurface in claims over migrant crisis

SANTIAGO, Cuba — Security was tight Monday for Pope Francis after a dissident got close enough to touch the popemobile a day earlier and at least three other opposition members were thwarted trying to accept Vatican invitations to greet the pontiff at ceremonies in Havana.

Despite what appeared to be thousands of plainclothes and uniformed security officers in Havana’s Plaza of the Revolution during a papal Mass on Sunday, a man began emotionally appealing to the pope and grabbing onto the popemobile as it drove through the crowd before the service.

Video of the incident showed Francis touching the man’s head and hand before he was pulled away by security officers as he cried out to the pope.

Authorities arrested several other people nearby who appeared to rush in to join his protest.

Jose Daniel Ferrer, head of the Santiago-based opposition group Patriotic Union of Cuba, said Monday that the man who got close to the pope was a member of his organization.

He identified the man as Zaqueo Baez Guerrero, a 34-year-old Havana resident. Ferrer said the man called him from a holding centre after being arrested and reported he had told the pope that “this is a dictatorship that represses the people and oppresses the opposition.”

Francis had come under criticism before the trip for not scheduling private meetings with dissidents on the island.

Differences among Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia date to 1990s

canisters landing on Serbian territory. It also protested Croatia’s closing of most of its border crossings, threatening legal action over the blocking of truck traffic.

• Hungary blamed Serbia for failing to stop the migrants from throwing stones at its border police and accused Croatia of jeopardizing its sovereignty by sending thousands of migrants to Hungary. It also blamed Greece for failing to stop the influx.

• Slovenia expressed anger that Croatia is busing people to its frontier.

This led to undiplomatic exchanges among the European Union neighbours.

When Croatia said it and Hungary had agreed to create a corridor for the migrants, the Hungarian Foreign Ministry called that a “pack of lies.” Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto called the Croatian prime minister’s handing of the crisis “pathetic.”

Croatian, Serbian and Romanian officials compared Hungary’s tough policies, including its new razor-coil fence, to the practices of Budapest’s Nazi-backed World War II regime.

“Hungary’s attitude is not European and is a disgrace for Europe,” Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta said. “To build fences between two European Union members, Hungary and Romania, is an unheard-of

thing and has nothing to do with the European spirit.”

Greek Foreign Ministry spokesman Constantinos Koutras responded to Hungary’s criticism with a sharp rejoinder to Budapest.

“The use of violence, the patrols with automatic weapons and the inciting of innocent war victims into Balkan minefields do not constitute behaviour appropriate for a member-state of the European Union,” Koutras said.

Szijjarto then shot back: “It would be good if the Greek government didn’t treat European people as if they were idiots and instead took meaningful steps to protect its border and register migrants.”

Exchanges between rivals Serbia and Croatia were equally fierce.

“I am sorry to see that Croatian humanity and solidarity lasted just two days,” Serbia’s Social Affairs Minister Aleksandar Vulin said after Croatia closed all but one border crossing. He warned that Serbia will take the issue to the international courts.

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic responded by comparing Serbia’s international clout to a fly: small and unimportant. “(An) eagle does not hunt flies. Croatia is an eagle,” Milanovic said.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said he wouldn’t take the bait: “I will not even respond to the Croatian prime minister’s remark about us being flies and them an eagle.”

EU President Donald Tusk appealed to leaders to stop the rhetoric.

“For too long our discussions have centred around shifting the responsibility onto others,” Tusk said in his summit invitation letter.

“There is a long list of issues where we could blame one another but it will not help us in finding a common solution.”

BELGRADE, Serbia — The war of words over Europe’s migrant crisis is turning vicious, with officials in the bickering Balkans trading blame and accusations of lying, while also disparaging each other’s actions as “pathetic” and a “disgrace.”

The plight over how to deal with thousands of asylum seekers is reviving old differences among Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia and Slovenia dating back to the 1990s breakup of Yugoslavia. It’s also creating some new tensions.

While the 28-nation European Union remains deeply divided over how to share the burden of relocating the refugees and is convening a series of meetings this week to seek a resolution, the finger-pointing turned especially nasty in the Balkans.

Hungary’s decision Sept. 15 to close its border with Serbia has diverted the waves of people from the Middle East, Africa and Asia to Croatia.

At first, Croatia welcomed them, thinking they would simply go to Slovenia and continue on to Austria and Germany. But Slovenia shut its border, and Croatia quickly found itself overwhelmed with about 30,000 people in a matter of days.

Croatia then started putting the asylum seekers on trains and buses, even as their furious leaders argued that they had been let down by their neighbours.

Even though Croatia set up a migrant reception centre Monday in the eastern village of Opatovac to try to bring order to the unrelenting chaos and misery, it could hardly undo the damage.

And the high-level griping has strained relations.

• Serbia denounced Hungary for using tear gas against the migrants on the border, with

Report calls on feds to put $3B into seniors health care NICOLE THOMPSONTHE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A new report has put a price tag on aging in Canada.

The Conference Board of Canada study, commissioned by the Canadian Medical Association, says that it would cost the federal government $3.3 billion in the next year to implement three strategies to cope with the wave of aging baby boomers.

In the next five years, the price would jump to $17.5 billion as boomers put an ever-increasing strain on the Canadian health-care system.

“The reality (is) that it costs more to look after people who are aging,” said Dr. Cindy Forbes, president of the CMA. “There are at least three items that are doable and will make a difference to Canadians in the next budget cycle.”

The first strategy recommends giving provinces and territories additional money for health care based on the age of their populations.

That would require the federal government to boost funding to the Canada Health Transfer, the country’s largest handover of cash from

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2015

the federal government to provinces and territories. Money sent through the CHT must be used for publicly provided health care.

The money is currently provided solely based on population, which the report calls uncommon and impractical, because an elderly population has higher health-care costs.

According to a recent study in the journal PLOS One, the average cost for care in a patient’s last year of life is $54,000.

The Conference Board report says countries like Belgium, Germany and Switzerland all top up their health-care transfers based on age.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said he’s renegotiate the terms of the CHT when it expires in 2017 so that increases would be tied to population and economic growth.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said if elected, he’d negotiate the terms of an adjusted CHT with the provinces come 2017. Tom Mulcair, leader of the federal New Democrats, has said an NDP government would reverse Conservative cuts to provincial health transfers.

The second potential reform laid out in the report is coverage of the entire cost of medications for all households who are currently spending at least $1,500 per year or three per cent of their annual income on drugs.

A July study by Angus Reid showed that 14 per cent of Canadians have neglected to fill a prescription due to cost.

Mulcair recently suggested a similar strategy that would see the creation of a universal pharmacare program. He said that if elected, he’d contribute $2.6 billion to the project over the next four years.

Forbes said she’s heartened to see pharmacare being discussed on the campaign trail.

However, the Conference Board report says funding a national pharmacare plan would cost $8.4 billion over the next five years. In 2016 alone, it would cost $1.5 billion, more than half of Mulcair’s proposed four-year budget.

The report also lays out the costs of making two key caregiver tax credits refundable.

re you scheduled for surgery? If so, there are ways to circumvent horrendous surgical errors. We’ve all heard stories about surgeons amputating the wrong leg. Or fixing a hernia on the side that didn’t need it.

If you think this is past history, you had better think again.

During a 10-year period in Canada, wrong-site surgery happened 106 times. Each year, 6.3 cases involved a lower extremity and in 4.3 cases, an upper limb. The most common error was the use of arthroscopy (looking into the joint with an optical instrument) on the wrong joint. This misfortune happened to 24 patients. And in one case a total knee replacement was performed on the wrong knee.

One mishap suffered a fracture of the left leg. But operating room nurses placed her on her left side exposing her to surgery on her right leg. It was only after the surgeon made the incision and found no fracture that he realized the error.

Reports from the U.S. show that wrong side or wrong person surgery happens once in every 100,000 cases.

But if a patient is having an operation for a lazy eye, the risk of surgery being performed on the wrong eye is one in 10,000!

Dr. Philip Stahel, a researcher and surgeon at Denver Health Medical Center, remarked, “The surgical blunders reported are in all probability just the tip of the iceberg and mix-ups are likely higher.”

In fact, one patient died of lung complications when a doctor inserted a chest tube into the wrong lung.

All of these errors are tragic and some catastrophic. In another case, two patients had prostate biopsies.

The result showed that one had cancer and the other did not. But the biopsies got mixed up and the patient without the cancer had a radical prostatectomy performed, which is extensive surgery, and removal of an organ, for no reason. The other patient was still walking around unaware he had a malignancy.

The U.S. report showed that one-third of the mistakes lead to long-term negative consequences. In Canada, wrong site, wrong procedure and wrong patient surgery left 10 per cent of patients with poor outcomes, depression or death. But all patients either required prolonged surgical time or additional surgery.

One would wonder how these errors can happen. It is primarily a failure of common sense. In some instances the patient was anesthetized, the extremity prepared and draped before the patient was even seen by the surgeon.

In other situations the extremity that supposedly required surgery was marked by someone other than the operating surgeon. Or medical records and X-rays were not available in the operating room. In effect, hospital policy was rarely followed, or not at all.

To help prevent this problem some hospitals have initiated a “timeout” before the incision is made. This gives everyone a moment to reflect on whether all the I’s have been dotted and all the T’s crossed before proceeding.

But what can patients do to prevent wrong-site surgery and make errors as fool proof as possible. Some surgeons initial the part of the body scheduled for surgery. But this is not always done.

So if there’s no initial on your operative site before you’re wheeled to the operating room, ask the surgeon to place his initial on the right extremity while you’re still awake.

Alexander Pope wrote more than 300 years ago “To err is human,” so it may be a long time before there’s 100 per cent protection against surgical errors. It can be so easy to err.

For example, a plastic surgeon was about to operate on a patient’s fourth finger. But a colleague entered the operating room to ask a question about another patient. This distraction resulted in the surgeon operating on the third finger!

MENTAL HEALTH

Saskatchewan starts work on new psychiatric facility THE CANADIAN PRESS

NORTH BATTLEFORD, Sask. — Construction has begun on a new hospital in Saskatchewan that will provide mental-health services to the general population as well as to inmates.

The Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford will have 188 beds

for patients and a 96-room secure unit for offenders with mental-health problems.

Health Minister Dustin Duncan says the new facility will help ensure that mental-health patients have access to timely and appropriate treatment.

The hospital is being built through a public-private partnership for $407

million, and the province says that includes the cost of keeping the facility in like-new condition for 30 years.

Construction is expected to be complete by spring 2018.

The Canadian Mental Health Association’s division in Saskatchewan said in 2011 that the old hospital was decrepit and run down.

David Nelson, executive director for Saskatchewan, said at the time that the old dormitory-style layout devoid of single rooms or private bathrooms left little opportunity for privacy.

Relatives of patients say the new facility is “a dream come true.”

“It is going to be a significant improvement in all aspects of patient

life. Today gives all of us — patients, families, staff, community and the health region — a real sense of excitement and belief in what’s planned for this site and the mental-health care to be delivered here,” Celeste Bridgeman, chairwoman of the Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford Family Council, said in a news release Monday.

Jerry Springer celebrates 25 years Talk show host at 71 is all aboard for another year on the crazy train, and plans to stay as long as he’s healthy DAVID BAUDER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A

s his talk show celebrates its silver anniversary on Monday, Jerry Springer knows better than to wheel a cake onstage with him. No sense tempting fate.

He didn’t anticipate he’d be fighting back tears as he addressed his audience.

“Know this,” said Springer, who wore a tuxedo for the show’s taping.

“There’s never been a moment in the 25 years of doing our show that I ever thought that I was better than the people who appear on our stage.

I’m not better. Only luckier.”

Don’t mistake that for a valedictory.

Springer, 71, is all aboard for another year on the crazy train, and plans to stay as long as he’s healthy. Upcoming episodes include “Spontaneous Sex Mistakes,” ”Big Girls Bring It!“ ”Sorry Sis, Your Man is Fair Game,“ ”I Sexed Your Ex“ and ”Lesbian Stepsister Hook-Up.“ It’s been a long time since The Jerry Springer Show was a sensation, and a threat to “Civilization As We Know It.” Now it’s a dependable daytime comedy, seen regularly by about two million people each day and rarely noticed by others.

The days of Springer being shunned or scolded by people at cocktail parties are over, too.

“We don’t hear it anymore,” he said, “because I’m not part of the pop culture. It’s not shocking anymore ...

You can’t be a grown-up and say, ’oh my gosh, they’re talking about a gay person.’ The world has changed.”

Springer has theories about why his show has endured. Since the dawn of civilization, people have been fascinated by the behaviour of others, particularly when it is outside of society’s norm. Television is dom-

inated by upper middle-class white people and his show regularly features others. It also appeared at the beginning of an era marked by people looking to themselves for entertainment, and not always celebrities.

And, of course, it’s a freak show that is hard to take your eyes off.

“I can’t sit here and tell you I know why I’ve lasted 25 years,” he said. “I don’t know. There’s a niche.

If I’d been hosting another show, I

wouldn’t have lasted 25 years. And I mean it. People aren’t watching the show because they want to see me.”

He’s prone to joking that anyone can do his job if they learn three phrases: “You did what?” ”Come on out!“ and ”We’ll be right back.“ Truth is, Springer’s air of benign bemusement, his light hand on the tiller, is one of the show’s secrets.

He passes no judgments. Everyone knows he’s in on the joke.

“Any show that has a zany supporting cast, you have to have one person who’s the calm in the middle of the storm,” said Marc Berman, an analyst for TV Media Insights. “And that’s him.”

Springer is a lawyer and former news anchor who got into politics and became mayor of Cincinnati.

He’s still a proud liberal. Being a grown-up before he got into television gives him a different perspec-

tive, he said.

“Can anyone do it?” he said. “No. Can most people do it? I can take most people on television, give them my show and probably in five or six months, they’d be comfortable.

Maybe why it works with me is because what you see is what I am. I don’t mean the subject matter but, I don’t have a different personality onstage.”

Springer’s show is taped in the same theatre 50 kilometres northeast of New York City that Maury Povich and Steve Wilkos use. Talking to the audience before the 25th anniversary episode began, he tells some of the same corny jokes they’ve probably heard from their grandfathers.

Taking a hands-off approach, he does little preparation before a taping, often knowing only that day’s general theme. Knowing too much would turn him into an actor. That’s why when he invited one guest’s “wife” onstage and turned his back to walk into the audience, the loud roar surprised him; he didn’t know the man said he’d married his horse.

“If there’s a wedding cake, there’s no way that the wedding cake is not going to be thrown,” he said. “We’ve never ended a show with a wedding cake still in one piece. There’s just stuff that you know. I’m not dense.

But do I learn the specifics? No. It’s much better that way.”

The improbability of making it in this world — few things in television are more lucrative than a successful syndicated talk show — fueled his unexpected emotion onstage.

“This is show business and there are so many talented people, and I don’t have any particular talent,” he said later. “Where is the fairness? It just suddenly struck me. It’s not just a saying. We’re all alike, and I just got incredibly lucky.”

Abigail Breslin dishes on ‘Scream Queens’ work VICTORIA AHEARN THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — It wasn’t how Abigail Breslin expected her first close encounter with Nick Jonas to go down.

“Yelling at him with coffee breath,” the 19-year-old actress recalled of one of their scenes together on Breslin’s new series, Scream Queens, premiering Tuesday at 9 p.m. on City.

“That wasn’t what I envisioned that scenario being when I was, like, 13.

But you know what? Hey — it’s still Nick Jonas.”

Breslin, who got an Oscar nomination for playing a spirited beauty pageant contestant in “Little Miss Sunshine,” stars in the series as

a member of a popular sorority plagued by a string of murders.

Emma Roberts plays the catty sorority president, Lea Michele of Glee co-stars as one of the pledges and Jamie Lee Curtis plays the university dean who forces the sorority to accept anyone who wants to join.

Ian Brennan, Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk created the Fox series, which was filmed in New Orleans and has been described as a combination of Heathers, American Horror Story and Mean Girls.

Breslin said she was “so obsessed” with the Jonas Brothers before Nick signed on to the show to play a fraternity member.

The night before he arrived on set, she fretted to her friends that she would feel embarrassed and awkward around him — even though she’d previously met him at three of his concerts.

“I was like, ‘Nick Jonas is working tomorrow . . . . What should I be like? Should I pretend I don’t remember him? “‘Like, do that whole move and be like, Oh, hey! Oh, we have met? Yeah, wow, God, so long ago,’” said the New York native. “’Or should I just be like, ‘Hey, Nick,’ or like, ‘HEY, Nick,’ but not too excited, though . . . just casual about it?”’

She ended up playing it cool: “I was

like, ‘Heyyy, hi, how’s it going? How are you? What’s up? God, excited for the scene? Yeah, me too.”’

Breslin also became equally “obsessed” with pop superstar Ariana Grande, who joined the cast as a sorority member.

“She’s the cutest, sweetest, happy, little, cute,” said Breslin, running out of adjectives. “Like, she’s not real.”

Then there’s Curtis, who is “so cool,” said Breslin.

“She followed me on Twitter and I was like,” she said, letting out a big sigh. “Then I DM’d her and I was just like, ‘I just want to say, I’m so excited to work with you.’

“When she got to New Orleans, she was like, ‘Hey, you want to get dinner

tonight?’ and I was like, ‘Really, like, can I?”’ The ever-expressive Breslin also gets candid in her new book, This May Sound Crazy, due out Oct. 6.

The collection of non-fiction essays about love in the social media era stems from a blog she started around age 16.

“It’s basically like non-fiction essays that I’ve written just about why not to stalk your ex on Facebook and stuff like that — you know, the really important things in the world,” she said with a laugh.

“It gets real. It gets way too real . . . . I talk about a lot of things, like apparently saying to a guy that you’re ‘harvesting a zit’ is not cute.”

POP CULTURE

Toronto’s Peaches, once an outsider, finds mainstream now nearer to her NICK PATCH THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — At some point, Toronto electroclash provocateur Peaches started to find pop music’s fringe a little crowded.

But Peaches welcomes the company.

“I always wanted the mainstream to move closer to me instead of me trying to move closer to the mainstream, and actually that’s what happened,” the Toronto native said in a recent telephone interview.

“It’s an incredible feeling.”

And yet, in a pop landscape where even former Disney stars seem to be borrowing from Peaches’ deep stock of shock tactics and marginalized groups are wresting more sympathy and attention, she faces a new question.

“People are like: ’Well, Peaches, what are you going to shock people with now?”’ she explained with a laugh.

“Gay marriage is legal in the States, gender issues are being seriously taken into consideration, and bullying is a whole movement now, and blah, blah, blah, blah.

“Well, I’m going to celebrate it. I’m also going to keep my eye out and make sure it’s not some sort of sen-

“The point was to make it even more raw, with all the great sounds that you can use now — just not polish it up at all. Just make it really raw, and aggressive, but sonically warm.”

Peaches

sationalist shock trend for everybody else and that it’s actually moving forward.

“So celebrating with one eye still looking out.”

That jubilation manifests in Rub, the new album Peaches refers to with considerable affection as her “postgender or post-ageist celebration.”

That said, Rub — her first record in more than six years — is hardly some compromise to convention.

Of course, it’s recklessly funny, features several unprintable song titles — one, called “Dumb (Expletive),” which she considers her “Purple Rain” — and sonics jagged enough to trip Run the Jewels.

“The point was to make it even more raw, with all the great sounds that you can use now — just not polish it up at all,” she explained. “Just make it really raw, and aggressive, but sonically warm.”

Fans who worry about Peaches’ ongoing capacity to shock, meanwhile, should listen to the record’s blackest dirge: “Free Drink Ticket.”

With her vocals pitched down and a rumbling buzzsaw of a beat, she seethes against a “spineless coward” ex-lover whose “personality turned to white powder.”

“There’s this time in a relationship, and it happens a lot where you’re in love and you’re hurt, and that hurt turns to hate,” she explained. “I was writing the album while this was going on . . . so I captured it.

“I was recording with Jam (Rostron) from Planningtorock, and I asked her to leave the room, and I wrote madly on a piece of paper....

You feel like this person you love, you want to kill them. So I wanted to express that feeling for real.”

And if nothing else, Peaches can still shock herself.

“When we listened back, we were huddled together hugging each other,” she recalled.

“We were so afraid of this monster.”

Kathy Mitchell & Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox Dear Annie: My 31-year-old daughter, her boyfriend and my 13-year-old granddaughter have lived with my husband and me for the past 10 years.

My daughter, “Tina,” asked whether her boyfriend could live with us for two weeks until his car was fixed after a hit-and-run accident. We said OK. Big mistake. When the car was repaired, we heard all kinds of excuses why he couldn’t leave.

Everything worked well until Tina started to pick on me and point out my faults. Tina doesn’t have a job, so she stays at home to care for her child. I have leukemia and cannot work. So we are both at home all day.

I think Tina is jealous of my relationship with my granddaughter, so she put some distance between us.

No matter my efforts, things just get worse. They have succeeded in turning my granddaughter against me. Now my patience is gone, and I feel like a stranger in my home. My husband tells me to give her time and she’ll come around. This doesn’t seem likely.

I’m hurt and depressed. The boyfriend doesn’t make enough money to support them in a place of their own, and Tina refuses to look for a

job. They have no responsibility here, so why would they leave? I’m seeing a therapist, but it seems like a bandage for my problem at my home. Do you have any suggestions?

— Can’t See the Forest for the Trees Dear Forest: We are reluctant to interfere when you are already receiving therapy. We can tell you, however, that it is often difficult to have grown children living with you when there are no clear-cut boundaries and rules in place. It fosters resentment and misunderstandings.

Please discuss with your therapist whether a heart-to-heart with your daughter and her boyfriend would be beneficial, or whether your daughter might attend a session with you.

Dear Annie: I disagree with your advice to “Big Sister,” whose younger sister hijacked her plans for a family reunion. Why does the person who is wronged have to be nice to an inconsiderate relative? I have done this all my life to keep the peace in the family. The first time I defended myself, they got angry and stopped talking to me. Well, too bad for them.

Life is too short not to be happy. If I am always giving in to them, then I don’t feel good about myself. At age 54, I can live without them.

— Happier Without Them in My Life Dear Happier: Our advice is geared to help those who wish to maintain a relationship with their family members. Those who prefer not to don’t need our suggestions on how to cut people out of their lives. They already know how, as you did.

Canucks sad to see Bieksa go, want others to step up JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

A

lexandre Burrows has been in professional hockey long enough to know saying goodbye to teammates is part of the business. That doesn’t make it any easier.

The Vancouver Canucks dealt veteran defenceman Kevin Bieksa to the Anaheim Ducks this summer, bringing an end to a 15-year association with the franchise that drafted him in the fifth round of the 2001 NHL draft.

As the Canucks suited up for their first pre-season game on Monday night in Colwood against the San Jose Sharks, it was a strange feeling for some of the veterans not having

No. 3 on the ice with them.

“A little bit bitter-sweet for sure.

Kevin was one of my best friends for

a long time,” Burrows said at the start of training camp.

“We played together for 11 years.

It’s always tough to see one of your friends go, but it’s part of the business.”

A favourite among fans, Bieksa became a full-time player with Vancouver in 2006, registering 56 goals, 185 assists and 879 penalty minutes in 597 games to go along with 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in 71 playoff outings, including the Canucks’ memorable run to Game 7 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final.

The Grimsby, Ont., native was a leader on and off the ice, as well as in the community, known for his tough playing style and dry sense of humour with both media and team-

mates. But there were rumblings this spring after Vancouver was bounced in the first round of the playoffs that management might ask Bieksa to waive his no-trade clause, and he eventually did so once the deal with Anaheim was struck.

“He’s a guy that we’re going to miss as a friend and as a teammate,” said Canucks captain Henrik Sedin.

“He was here for a long time and it’s going to be tough without him, but it’s a chance for other guys to step up.”

And that’s exactly what Vancouver is counting on. General manager Jim Benning added free-agent defenceman Matt Bartkowski on July 1, while a couple of players in the system, including Frank Corrado,

appear ready to make the jump to the NHL. “In years past coming to camp, you always have that mindset where you’d like to make the team,” said Corrado. “I think this year it’s a little more realistic.”

The Canucks will take on Bieksa’s Ducks five times this season, with the first two meetings set for Anaheim on Oct. 12 and Nov. 30 before the 34-year-old makes his return to Vancouver on New Year’s Day. “Kevin was a huge personality in our room and on the ice. He’ll certainly be missed, but it’s a great opportunity for more guys to step up, fill his role,” said Canucks defenceman Dan Hamhuis.

“I don’t think you look at one guy to fill what he did.”

Canucks beat Sharks 1-0 on Island

Tortorella will coach U.S. World Cup team

Victoria product Adam Cracknell scores game-winner during three-on-three overtime

John Tortorella is prepared to make a comeback at coaching hockey — on a temporary basis, at least.

Tortorella has been selected to coach the United States national team competing in the World Cup of Hockey tournament next year in Toronto.

USA Hockey announced Tortorella’s appointment following ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast.

◆ VANCOUVER

Markstrom out to prove Canucks made right move Jacob Markstrom wants to show the Vancouver Canucks they chose wisely. In a market where goaltending is almost always a hot topic, the club traded fan favourite Eddie Lack to the Carolina Hurricanes at the NHL draft, putting its faith in Markstrom to carry the load behind veteran netminder Ryan Miller this season and beyond.

“It obviously feels great that they believe in me,” the 25-year-old Swede said recently. “I definitely want to prove that they (made) the right decision. I want to prove to myself and everyone that I can be a good goalie at this level.”

The only piece remaining from the trade that sent Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers in March 2014, Markstrom has an underwhelming 13-28-5 record with a 3.19 goalsagainst average and an .896 save percentage in 50 career NHL games.

◆ ANAHEIM

Ducks sign goalie Gibson for $6.9 million If John Gibson ends up in the minors later this month, at least the Anaheim Ducks’ promising goalie will take the comfort of a big new contract with him to San Diego.

Gibson agreed to a three-year, $6.9-million contract extension Monday, keeping him with the Ducks through the 2018-19 season.

With two more experienced goalies in his path, the 22-year-old Gibson seems unlikely to make the Ducks’ roster out of training camp.

◆ LOS ANGELES

After three arrests, Kings sign player conduct code The Los Angeles Kings have announced an extensive program of off-ice training for their players after three embarrassing arrests in the past year. The Kings outlined their “Conduct Awareness Training Initiatives” on Monday. The franchise is partnering with community organizations to address domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse and sexual harassment. The team also has hired former NHL player Brantt Myhres to help players avoid addiction and substance abuse. The Kings were rocked by the arrests of defenceman Slava Voynov and veteran forwards Jarret Stoll and Mike Richards. They have cut ties with the three players, who all won Stanley Cup rings in 2012.

More than a decade ago, Adam Cracknell played midget hockey in Colwood.

On Monday in the same city, the Victoria product was wearing a Vancouver Canucks jersey hoping to make a positive impression during the Kraft Hockeyville game at The Q Centre.

And after the Canucks and Sharks played 60 scoreless minutes during both team’s exhibition opener, it was the 30-year-old Cracknell who scored the game-winner in three-on-three overtime.

The goal came 1:39 into overtime on a delayed penalty and was assisted

by Jannik Hansen and Matt Bartkow-

ski, two regulars on the Canucks.

Cracknell was signed as a free agent in the summer by the Canucks to play for their minor-league affiliate, the Utica Comets, this season after playing 17 NHL games last year with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Richard Bachman and Jacob Markstrom split goaltending duties for the Canucks, both stopping 10 San Jose shots to combine for the shutout.

As it was the first exhibition game of the 2015-16 season, many Canucks did not play — including Henrik and Daniel Sedin. However it was the first time in a Vancouver jersey for both Bartkowski and Brandon Sutter.

The Canucks and Sharks meet again tonight, this time at Rogers Arena in Vancouver.

Fourth liners have more skill than ever LARRY LAGE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

G

oons are pretty much gone in the NHL. More and more teams are rolling four lines of forwards who can skate — and score. The days of having seldom-used tough guys on the fourth line just to throw punches or protect stars are over.

“One-dimensional players are almost extinct,” Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said.

“The game is faster than ever. Teams that used to want a physical and intimidation factor on the fourth line now are more interested in having four lines that can contribute offensively and play with discipline to stay out of the penalty box.”

Fights are down, and playing time is up for more players.

There were 0.63 fighting majors per game last season, the seventh straight year in which there was a decline, according to STATS. And, the number of forwards who play 10-plus minutes has been trending up for years.

“Because of the competitiveness of our league, teams are more focused on having skilled players to make a difference,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said.

Instead of sending a message with a fight, teams would rather do it by scoring. The average goals in a game has hovered around 5.3 the past four seasons as goaltenders have gotten more skilled, so coaches and GMs are looking for contributions from everyone.

New York Rangers forward Tanner Glass, though, hopes the trend doesn’t make it tougher for him to keep his job. He also doesn’t want it lead to players using their sticks instead of fists to do damage. Glass had more fights (nine) than goals last year, ranking among league leaders.

He has scored 19 times over eight seasons, but five teams have wanted his physical presence on their rosters

over the years. Is he concerned teams are devaluing fighting?

“I think there’s still a spot for that, and there always will be a spot for that,” Glass said.

“I know it won’t be as prominent as it is and as it has been, but I think if you talk to guys around the league, no one wants a league with no toughness and no accountability.”

In other words, he said, slashing majors might become more common if fighting goes away.

“Guys kind of play a different way when there’s no accountability,” Glass said.

Holland and Red Wings senior vice-president Jim Devellano both

credit Hall of Fame coach Scotty Bowman with leading the charge to change the way fourth lines are used a couple decades ago.

While he did put notorious tough guy Darren McCarty on a fourth unit in Detroit that was known as the “Grind Line,” McCarty could light the lamp as well. McCarty’s linemates, Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby, could skate and hit hard while contributing offensively, at least occasionally.

The Red Wings won Stanley Cups with that style of play from the fourth line and the reigning champions are without a doubt the latest example of the trend paying

dividends: Chicago’s fourth line of Andrew Shaw, Marcus Kruger and Andrew Desjardins played a pivotal role last season, especially them toward the end of the Stanley Cup finals when the Blackhawks outlasted Tampa Bay to win their third title in six years.

“That makes our team probably different than other teams when you have that type of a group that can play against top lines and top teams,” Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said.

“They can score, they can hold their own, sometimes influence a game.

“It’s almost like they’re probably not a fourth line.”

OPINION

Weeden ready to take over for Romo in Dallas

With weak opponents coming, no reason for Seahawks to panic

SCHUYLER DIXON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo won’t be back for at least two months because of a broken left collarbone, and maybe closer to three with the way the schedule falls for the Dallas Cowboys.

His All-Pro receiver, Dez Bryant, will be sidelined perhaps through the end of October because of a broken right foot. The defending NFC East champions are alone atop the division at 2-0 after a 20-10 victory at Philadelphia that cost them their quarterback a week after Bryant’s injury in the opener. And yet the biggest question is whether they’ll still be in contention by the time Romo and Bryant are on the field together again.

The first start-to-finish test without both star players is Sunday at home against Atlanta (2-0).

“There is pressure on everyone in this organization,” said Brandon Weeden, the backup responsible for keeping the Cowboys afloat while their four-time Pro Bowl quarterback is out.

“So I am not going to put any added pressure on myself. I know what is at stake. I know we have a good team.

So hopefully we can all rally and keep this going in the right direction.”

Coach Jason Garrett said Monday that tests revealed no ligament damage for Romo after the second broken collarbone of his career. The other was in 2010, when he missed the final 10 games of the season.

However, Dallas was out of playoff contention before he could have returned.

Now the Cowboys have to decide whether to clear a roster spot by putting Romo on the injured list with a designation to return, which would sideline him for seven games over eight weeks.

Dallas must also decide whether to add another quarterback. Weeden was the only healthy one for most of the second half against the Eagles, and Garrett said the emergency option would have been direct snaps to running backs Joseph Randle and Darren McFadden. The two quarterbacks on the practice squad, Kellen Moore and Jameill Showers, have never taken a snap in a regular-season game, although Moore is a fourth-year player who worked under Cowboys offensive co-ordinator Scott Linehan in Detroit.

“We’ll certainly consider all options to make our team better,” Garrett said. “We like the options we have right now.”

The most optimistic time frame for Romo’s return is during a two-game Florida swing on Nov. 15 (Tampa Bay) and Nov. 22 (Miami).

After losing first two games on the road, Seattle is next host to winless Bears, Lions

D

espite the Seahawks 0-2 start, there are plenty of signs that their season isn’t over. Let’s start with Seattle’s next two opponents — the winless Bears and Lions.

Pete Carroll sounded Sunday night like he wanted to reset the Seahawks’ season. Or at least wipe out the distasteful portion that already has been played — 12.5 percent of the schedule, like it or not.

“We are going to get back to work and get the season started,” Carroll said at one point in his post-game press conference in Green Bay, after Seattle’s 27-17 loss to the Packers.

“It feels like we’re not as clean as we need to be. We’re going to start over again,’’ he said a few moments later. “Here we go. Go home, let’s get started, and get this thing rolling.”

There are no do-overs, of course, and the Seahawks are stuck with their 0-2 record and all the ramifications that come with it. That includes the angst, the playoff math that already is stacked against them, and the discomfort of knowing that their status as one of the league’s elite teams is not reflected, at the moment, in either the standings or statistics.

But at a time when many NFL followers believe the sky is falling in Seattle, and when everyone (myself included) is pointing out the team’s faults, it’s a crucial time for the Seahawks to keep their heads. And their perspective.

It has been ugly, and frustrating, no question. But that doesn’t mean it has to be catastrophic. And if the Seahawks can indeed start their season, as Carroll alluded — which is to say, start playing the kind of sustained, intense, inspired football we’ve seen over much of the past two seasons — then this stretch will be overcome. The Seahawks have known these two games would be difficult ever since the schedule was released. Now they are coming home to face two winless teams, the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions, that they

should be able to handle. If they lose one of those games, feel free to panic.

But for now, here are a few salves for the wounded soul.

Both games have had enough stretches of quality play from the Seahwaks to reassure that it’s still in there. Russell Wilson showed flashes Sunday of his ability to disrupt opponents with both his legs and his arm. You’ve got to figure that he’ll find a way to get Jimmy Graham more involved in the offense soon.

You’ve got to figure that a defense regarded in recent years as one of the finest in NFL history will not become vulnerable overnight, even with the continued absence of Kam Chancellor.

Yes, skeptics will point to another

costly late interception by Wilson.

They’ll point to a Chancellor-less defense that has allowed two straight quarterbacks, Nick Foles and Aaron Rodgers, to post a quarterback rating over 100 (115.8 and 116.9, respectively to be exact). Exactly zero quarterbacks did that last year against Seattle. And the skeptics may note that Marshawn Lynch’s producing 2.7 yards per carry Sunday could be a sign of the decline many have feared.

But Lynch has earned the benefit of the doubt. So has the Seahawks’ defense, which ranks 29th in the NFL in points allowed after two games (ahead of only Chicago and Oakland, unsavory bedfollows) after leading the entire NFL for three straight seasons.

If the Seahawks had gotten a favorable call on a fumble they were certain they had recovered after Wilson’s fateful interception, it could have been a different game. If Dion Bailey hadn’t slipped in St. Louis, that might have been a different outcome,

as well. Wouldas and couldas don’t win ballgames. The Seahawks figured out a way to prevail in the close ones the past two years. But two games does not a season make.

It makes trends, it foments worries, it causes teams to dig deep, regroup, reassess. And that happens to be something the Seahawks have accomplished before, most vividly after last year’s 3-3 start, with the Percy Harvin-related infighting and team friction that had to be — and was — repaired.

This is still a veteran-laden team, and they will have a chance to show that this 0-2 start is an aberration, not the start of a downfall. The rest is up to them.

Cornerback Richard Sherman was asked last week if it was too early to think about the playoff ramifications of the upcoming Packers game.

“I think it’s always too early to think about playoff ramifications, because you have to play the game, you have to deal with that, and so many things change,’’ he replied.

“There are teams who start off undefeated and end up not in the playoffs. There are teams that start off .500 and end up with the No. 1 seed . . . You can’t put too much into the early season.

He referenced last year’s Packers, who started 0-1. “Everybody was screaming Bloody Mary, they’re doomed,” Sherman said. “They end up with the No. 2 seed, (in the) NFC Championship, and had a great chance to win that ballgame.”

The loss was a doozy – a 36-16 rout at the hands of the Seahawks. And if, after that lackluster performance, their fans were screaming bloody murder — or Bloody Mary, for those drowning their sorrows — they changed their tune when the Packers won 11 of their final 13 after a 1-2 start.

As much consternation as the Seahawks have already caused their fans — more than a few are already screaming, or perhaps even drinking Bloody Marys — there’s no reason they can’t do that, too.

Packers hopeful Lacy won’t be out very long

Cutler injures hamstring, Lions concerned with may not play in Seattle health of QB Stafford

Players’ union launces new media enterprise

Coach Mike McCarthy had good news Monday about the status of injured Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy, who suffered an ankle injury against the Seahawks Sunday.

The Packers’ next game is next Monday against the Kansas City Chiefs. McCarthy also wouldn’t rule out Lacy from being able to play next week against the Chiefs.

The Chicago Bears can apparently breathe a little easier knowing quarterback Jay Cutler suffered no major damage to his hamstring.

Amid reports that Cutler will miss at least two weeks, coach John Fox said Cutler has a strained hamstring and that tests showed no major damage.

Jimmy Clausen figures to start for the Bears Seattle on Sunday.

The NFL players’ union has launched Athlete Content & Entertainment (ACE Media), which will identify and create programming opportunities for athletes.

ACE Media will begin by leveraging the NFL Players Association’s exclusive group player rights, giving it access to more than 1,800 active players.

FOOTBALL IN BRIEF The Associated Press

The Detroit Lions haven’t played a home game yet, and already they’ve lost twice and watched their quarterback get knocked around to the point where his status this week is in some question. Matthew Stafford had X-rays on his chest and ribs after that game, and his health is obviously a concern as Detroit prepares for Sunday’s home opener against Denver.

Fabbro’s big day leads Raiders

Bulldogs will get ‘back to elementary school’ as Mt. Doug awaits

Flag-filled game ends with Vancouver Island beating rival Westshore Rebels 35-16 SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

Vancouver Island Raiders quarterback Liam O’Brien threw five touchdown passes, three to Arthur Fabbro, and his team beat the Westshore Rebels 35-16 Saturday at Caledonia Park.

The Raiders, 5-3 through eight B.C. Football Conference games, were playing their final home date in the win and are in a tie for second place with the Langley Rams — the two teams play each other likely with a home playoff game on the line next weekend.

“We took what they gave us,” said Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman of the win over the Rebels despite all but abandoning the running game.

“There’s no defence in the world that can take everything away and Liam did a much better job of checking down. If the long ball was there, we took it and threw the long ball well and if it wasn’t there we checked it down.”

O’Brien finished the game with 17 completions on 20 pass attempts for 337 yards, while Fabbro’s three touchdown receptions came off six catches for 156 yards.

“He was passing me the ball,” Fabbro said.

“It was there and he was hitting me. We’ve always had those in the playbook, and this game just (gave us the opportunity to do it). We always want to go for the deep balls, but we hadn’t really had the time. This game, it was there.”

Dustin Rodriguez was the other top receiver for O’Brien in the win, catching seven balls for 146 yards and a touchdown while Dustin Hamm also caught a major for the first Raiders score of the game.

ers’ discipline after taking 17 penalties for 175 yards.

“We were very undisciplined, which I did not like,” he said, “especially since that’s something we preached the whole week. I don’t think we did a very good job of that all.”

The Raiders play the Rams on Saturday in the Lower Mainland.

The John Barsby Bulldogs are proving just how quickly opinions can change in high school football.

First, the No. 1-ranked Bulldogs beat the No. 5 Vernon Panthers on the road in a 25-0 shutout, leaving everyone to think the two-time defending Varsity AA champs would pick up where they left off.

Then, the Bulldogs went into Chilliwack Friday and were shut out 33-0 by the No. 3 G.W. Graham Grizzlies.

But the Bulldogs can easily forget about that game with what’s in store for them next — their home opener Friday night, a non-conference game against the Mt. Douglas Rams, ranked No. 2 in Varsity AAA and owners of three of the last four provincial titles in B.C.’s highest division.

The Island mega-match goes down Friday at 7 p.m. at Merle Logan Field, and Barsby head coach Rob Stevenson says his team needs to remember what got them to where they are.

“We’re going back to elementary school now,” Stevenson said. “We’ve just got to get on blocks and stay on blocks, and throw the football effectively. I’m quite happy to exchange film with Mt. Doug because I don’t think we’re going to frighten them too much.”

No. 2 Mt. Douglas beat Lord Tweedsmuir 45-15 on Saturday.

On defence, the Raiders were up against Rebels quarterback Hunter Lake, rather than starter Ashton MacKinnon who was injured last week in a win over the Valley Huskers.

The injury to MacKinnon was kept quiet, however the Raiders didn’t change much of their game plan.

“We saw on film that Ashton got hurt,” Erdman said, “but we don’t adjust our defence like that.

“We’ll tweak it if we know Hunt-

er is in. Hunter is very effective at running the ball and so we try to concentrate on keeping contain and keeping our lanes.”

Travis Novak was the Raiders top tackler in the win, with seven, while linebackers Dexter Shea and Nigel Henry had five each. Rookie lineman Matt Hill also had a quarterback sack.

Erdman, while happy with the aggressive nature his team showed, said he wasn’t happy with the Raid-

Failed comeback sees Clippers fall 4-3 to Powell River SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

Sheldon Rempal had a goal and an assist as the Nanaimo Clippers outshot the Powell River Kings 48-29, but still lost 4-3 Saturday night at Frank Crane Arena.

“That’s just the story of an opportunity squandered,” said Clippers head coach Mike Vandekamp.

“There’s lots of things that factor into scoring goals. The fact of the matter is, there wasn’t enough goals for the number of shots that we had, and for all the quality chances we had.”

The Clippers, who fell to 2-2-0-0 early in the B.C. Hockey League season in the loss, were down 3-0 late in the second period until defenceman Edwin Hookenson scored shorthanded to kick-start his team’s comeback efforts.

Rempal, who controlled the play for much of the third period, assisted on a Matt Hoover goal to cut the Powell River lead to one late in the game.

But the Kings then scored with Clip-

pers goalie Jakob Walter pulled for an extra attacker on a powerplay.

“We had a good solid possession, just got some wires crossed and they fired it into our net,” Vandekamp said. “It was a tough one to take, but

it was a positive to come back and a positive on the way we played.”

Rempal scored with less than a minute to play but the Clippers were unable to get the tying goal in what was their third game against the

Kings this season after they split two with them to start the year.

Vandekamp said Walter, a 16-yearold, showed nerves in his first BCHL start but played better as the game went on.

“I thought after the second period (radio) timeout, I thought he played really good after that,” he said. “You don’t check players ages before they play. He’s big and capable and playing his first game. He was solid after that.”

Walter stopped 25 of 28 Powell River shots in the loss.

The Clippers, like all 16 other teams in the league, now head to Chilliwack for the BCHL Showcase on the weekend where they take on the Coquitlam Express and the Merritt Centennials.

“It’ll be a nice little early-season test for the boys,” Vandekamp said.

Seattle ace first AL pitcher to record 18 wins STEPHEN HAWKINS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas — Felix Hernandez has a chance at his first 20-win season after completing his own sweep of the AL West-leading Texas Rangers.

Seattle’s ace worked into the sixth inning Sunday to become the American League’s first 18-game winner.

The 9-2 victory was Hernandez’s fifth in as many starts this season against Texas.

“That’s what every pitcher wants, winning 20 games,” said Hernandez, who has at least two more starts.

The right-hander left with two outs in the sixth inning with a stiff pitching elbow, a move the Mariners called precautionary after 105 pitches.

He gave up two runs, struck out five and matched a season high with five walks.

“I didn’t want to take any chances so I just got him out of the there,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “I saw him wiggling his arm. I said, ’What’s going on?’ and he said, “I’m just a little stiff.’ I said, ‘Give me the ball.’”

Hernandez (18-9) is expected to make his scheduled start next weekend at the Los Angeles Angels, when he could match his career high with a 19th victory.

“It was a long inning. I got stiff. It’s not a big deal.” Hernandez said. “I’ve been worse before. I’ll be fine.”

Robinson Cano’s 17th home run, a three-run drive in the fifth, put Seattle up 7-2 and chased Derek Holland (3-3). That came two batters after Kyle Seager’s tiebreaking, tworun double, and before Franklin Gutierrez connected off Ross Ohlendorf.

Hernandez walked a batter in the bottom of the fifth after the long wait, but got out of that inning when he snagged Adrian Beltre’s liner — and then tossed to ball to his friend and former teammate.

“I was just trying to help him give it to fans. The crowd got a little upset, but it was something between him and me,” Hernandez said with a smile.

In his first at-bat Sunday, Beltre stepped in the box with a smile on his face, and both made gestures to the other.

A six-time All-Star, Hernandez joined Randy Johnson and Jamie Moyer as the only pitchers with multiple 18-win seasons for the Mariners. He won 19 games in 2009, the year before he was the AL Cy Young winner.

King Felix is 5-0 with a 1.83 ERA against Texas this year, only the fifth pitcher since 1972 to beat the Rangers five times in the same season.

He is the first to accomplish the feat since Bartolo Colon was 6-0 for the Angels against Texas in 2004.

While never able to solve Seattle’s ace this season, the Rangers still have a 1 1/2-game division lead over Houston with 13 games to play.

Mitch Moreland hit his 22nd homer for Texas, a one-out solo shot to centre in the second.

Price, Blue Jays beat Yankees 4-2 Victory gives Toronto some much-needed breathing room in the AL East playoff race GREGORY STRONG THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Brett Cecil called them the three biggest outs of his big-league career.

Manager John Gibbons said if the season goes the way the Blue Jays hope it does, the eighth inning that Cecil salvaged Monday night may be the frame they look back on as being paramount.

Cecil came up with three huge strikeouts to help preserve David Price’s strong start as Toronto kicked off a big three-game series against New York with a 4-2 victory at Rogers Centre.

“He’s one of the better relievers in baseball,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “He was an all-star two years ago. There’s a reason.”

Price was in top form over seven shutout innings of a series opener that had a distinct playoff atmosphere. He allowed just two hits and retired the final 14 batters he faced.

With the left-hander’s pitch count running high, Gibbons turned to reliever Aaron Sanchez to start the eighth inning but a walk and a single made his night a short one.

Cecil came on and allowed an RBI single to Jacoby Ellsbury before fanning the meat of the Yankees’ order — Brett Gardner, Alex Rodriguez and Brian McCann — as the sellout crowd of 47,648 roared its approval.

“That was very cool,” Price said.

“He did a great job. Those are some of the biggest outs he’s recorded since he’s been in the big leagues.

That was good for him.”

The victory padded Toronto’s lead on New York in the American League East race to 3 1/2 games. The Blue Jays also moved within 1 1/2 games of the idle Kansas City Royals in the race for the top seed in the American League.

Price was staked to an early threerun lead and was only really tested in the third inning when the Yankees loaded the bases with one out. He responded by fanning Rodriguez and getting McCann to fly out.

He threw 114 pitches on the night, 87 of them for strikes.

“Definitely frustrating,” said McCann. “(Price) made his pitches when he had to. He was good tonight. He was working both sides of the plate, cutting it and sinking it to both sides and keeping guys off balance.”

Price improved to 17-5 on the season and is 8-1 since the Blue Jays acquired him in a mid-season trade with the Detroit Tigers.

“What can you say really?” said Gibbons.

“That was the whole idea behind getting him. Trades don’t always work out right. This one has worked out right.”

Rotation won’t be set until playoff spot clinched GREGORY STRONG THE CANADIAN PRESS

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons hasn’t told his starting pitchers how his rotation might look if the team reaches the playoffs.

He wants to lock up a post-season berth first.

“I think you need to wait until you get in,” Gibbons said before Monday’s series opener against New York. “Because they’re all pitching now anyway, nobody has been (taken out) of the rotation other than (Drew Hutchison).

“So they just need to keep pitching. That’s the least of our concerns now.”

The Blue Jays took a 2 1/2-game lead over the Yankees into the opener of a key three-game series between the American League East rivals at Rogers Centre.

Entering play Monday, Toronto had an 80.6 per cent chance of winning the East title, according to the Baseball Prospectus playoff probabilities on the MLB website. The Blue Jays are a virtual lock to at least make the wild-card game.

If the season ended Monday, the Blue Jays would have home-field advantage for the first round of the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers while the Kansas City Royals would take on the wild-card winner in the other ALDS. The potential starters for what would be Toronto’s first post-season appearance in 22 years has been a hot talking point in the city. Gibbons

said it’s only natural that his pitchers have thought about it too.

“There’s five guys out there and they all want to do it,” he said. “But they can’t all do it if we get in. Run the season out and see who’s pitching the best too. I think that’s got to (be a) factor.”

It’s still premature to look ahead given that potential opponents, home-field advantage and player performance could all change before the regular season wraps up on Oct. 4 at Tampa Bay. But it’s safe to assume that ace David Price would be pencilled in

to make two starts in a best-of-five ALDS. Right-hander R.A. Dickey would be a good bet to make a start after Price since he has had a strong second half and his knuckleball is in stark contrast to the hard-throwing Price.

Dickey also throws from the other side and could work under the roof at Rogers Centre.

After that, it gets tough. Does Gibbons go to the reliable Marco Estrada (13-8, 3.14), take his chances with Marcus Stroman (2-0, 3.00) or turn to veteran lefty Mark Buehrle (14-7, 3.69)?

A lot will depend on how the team fares over the next two weeks.

Price’s starts will be timed so that he’s ready to pitch in the Oct. 6 wild-card game if needed. If that isn’t required, he would likely be the Game 1 starter on Oct. 8.

If the Blue Jays clinch earlier than expected, some pitchers could be rested or have their innings limited.

If the race goes down to the wire, it will be all hands on deck.

The American League Championship Series is a best-of-seven affair scheduled for Oct. 16-24. The bestof-seven World Series is set for Oct. 27-Nov. 4.

Also of note, Buehrle is 14 2/3 innings away from reaching the 200-inning mark for a 15th straight season. He’s scheduled to make two more starts but could also see in action in Game 162, which might be needed to put him over the top.

“He could get two and a half (starts),” Gibbons said. “It’d be a hell of an accomplishment.”

Buehrle, who’s in the final year of his contract, has yet to decide on his playing future after the current campaign.

“I don’t know if this is his swan song or not, but if it was it sure would be a nice way to go out,” Gibbons said of the milestone. “But he’s one of those guys though ... when you don’t expect something, he pulls something out. He’s liable to throw a complete-game gem, you know.

“If it’s one of those days where he’s on — he’s done it before.”

Jets defence proves vital in 20-7 victory over Indianapolis

MICHAEL MAROT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS — The New York Jets’ suddenly opportunistic defence did it again Monday night.

Calvin Pryor intercepted one pass to set up a touchdown, Darrelle Revis snuffed out a scoring chance by recovering a Colts fumble in his own end zone as New York Jets confounded Andrew Luck most of the night and held on for a 20-7 victory

at Indianapolis.

New York, 2-0 for the first time since 2011, already has 10 takeaways this season and has turned them into 28 points — a stark contrast from 2014 when New York scored 20 points off turnovers the entire season.

Indianapolis matched last season’s 0-2 start by losing back-to-back games for only the second time in Luck’s four-year career.

Against an offence that was considered one of the league’s best into the season, Revis and the Jets made sure it was no contest.

Revis continued his mastery of the Colts by recovering two fumbles and grabbing one of Luck’s three interceptions, and between the Jets’ suffocating defence and a steady stream of costly penalties, the Colts never could really get in sync.

Ryan Fitzpatrick finished 22 of 34

for 244 yards with two touchdown passes and one interception — getting his first career win at Lucas Oil Stadium. Fitzpatrick became the first player since 1950 to start five consecutive road games against one team while playing for five different teams. He was 0-4 in the previous starts.

Eric Decker had eight receptions for 97 yards before leaving with a knee injury, and Brandon Marshall

caught seven passes for 101 yards and one touchdown.

How strange was this for the Colts?

They were shut out in the first half in consecutive weeks for the first time since 1997 and Adam Vinatieri missed his first field goal inside 30 yards since 2007. And Luck was 21 of 37 for 250 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.

But the Jets still struggled to put this one away.

Miss America thought answer would cost her LOS ANGELES — Betty Cantrell, named Miss America eight days ago,

should be focused on the crown.

But she’s still thinking about the New England Patriots.Cantrell said in a recent interview that when she was asked in the pageant’s question-and-answer section whether Patriots quarterback Tom Brady

cheated by using deflated footballs, she thought her answer might keep her from winning the crown.

Initially, Cantrell said she wasn’t sure, then she went further: “I’d have to see the ball and feel it. If there’s any question, then yes, he cheated.”

Later Cantrell said she wasn’t sure how to answer the question and wished she had been asked about music or theatre.

“You know, I tried to give an opinion based on the facts that I knew, which were very slim, and I think

that the verdict came out during the week of competition that the suspension was (lifted) . . . and that he was able to play again . . . so I had no idea,” she said.

HOROSCOPE

by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone you look up to could be unusually touchy, which might result in a misunderstanding.

Your actions and choices are likely to shock others. Everyone will regroup and make better decisions by tomorrow. Tonight: A must appearance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you care about tremendously. You might wonder why you put up with as much as you do from a friend you see almost every day. You’ll gain an insight that might be profoundly upsetting. Tonight: Listen to great music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Deal with people on a one-on-one level in order to keep the ties between you tight. You are more likely to hear the truth when you maintain your friendships. A friend or a meeting could take an unanticipated twist. Tonight: Roll with the ups and downs of the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others seek you out, which could displease a boss or associate. This person would like you to pitch in on a project. Confusion surrounds the unexpected. As a result, you’ll gain a better understanding of someone you need to work with more often. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Pace yourself. You have only so much time to do what you want. Sort through mixed messages or conflicting

information. Recognize that you might not have the complete story just yet. Detach, and you could be surprised by what comes up.

Tonight: Off to the gym.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Focusing on work might be close to impossible, as your imagination seems to drift toward your relationship with an important person in your life. You don’t often tap into your creativity, but it is a great source of ideas. Tonight: Allow your inner child to escape.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Tension revolves around your domestic and personal lives. Nevertheless, you’ll put up a good front. When close friends or loved ones find out what has happened, their reactions will echo your own. Recognize what you can change and what you can’t. Tonight: Put up your feet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Make calls, return messages and check your email before you make any plans; otherwise, you might experience an upset during your day. A problem also could develop from unanswered questions. You can’t afford to ignore anyone at this time.

Tonight: Discussions evolve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Avoid a clash over funds, especially if you feel as though someone is pushing too hard for you to go along with his or her terms. Solutions will pop up out of the blue, though you might wonder if you even want to be involved at this point. Take your time. Tonight: Let friends in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Just because you feel invinci- ble doesn’t mean someone else won’t

challenge you. This person could push very hard to get what he or she wants. Let this individual’s drive roll right off you. A family member or a situation at home might arise.

Tonight: Enjoy the unexpected.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll have a lot on your mind that you might choose not to share with oth- ers. As a result, you could keep it to your- self. As you ponder different situations, you’ll see a potential misunderstanding. Know that the unexpected could occur at any time. Tonight: Out late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Where your friends are is where you’ll want to be. When in a meeting, even if it is regarding a business matter, you could turn the event into a party.

Don’t sit on a misunderstanding too long. A disagreement might become even worse if you don’t handle it soon. Tonight: Your treat.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (SEPT. 22: This year you might want to pursue a major passion.

You will gain confidence through hard work. The unexpected often shakes you up. 2016 announces a new life and luck cycle entering your life. If you are single, the person you meet in the later part of the year could be significant to your life. This person will be an intense, loving tie, but different from what you have experienced in the past. If you are attached, the two of you will make a significant decision that will put your relationship on a new track for sev- eral years. Make sure you have enough private time together. CAPRICORN knows how to seduce you into agreeing with him or her.

Ferguson pursued Guardiola as successor, new book reveals ROB HARRIS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Alex Ferguson lined up Pep Guardiola as his potential successor at Manchester United but the Spanish coach didn’t call him before taking the Bayern Munich job.

In his new book Leading, Ferguson said the club “established that several very desirable candidates were unavailable� before David Moyes was hired in 2013 for an unsuccessful 11-month spell in charge. After Guardiola left Barcelona in mid-2012, Ferguson had dinner with the former Barcelona coach in New York but, as his own retirement was not on the agenda yet, there was no “direct proposal� for the Spaniard to one day take over at United. “I asked Pep to phone me before he accepted an offer from another club but he didn’t and wound up joining Bayern Munich in July 2013,� Ferguson writes in the book, which was published on

Tuesday and co-authored with Michael Moritz. Although Ferguson publicly announced the end of his near 27-year reign as United manager in May 2013, he had decided in December 2012 to retire after his wife’s sister died. Guardiola announced in January 2013 that he would take over at Bayern for the next season. The succession process behind the scenes at Old Trafford began in March 2013 when Ferguson informed the owning Glazer family he wanted to retire in May. “It became apparent that Jose Mourinho had given his word to Roman Abramovich that he would return to Chelsea, and that Carlo Ancelotti would succeed him at Real Madrid,� Ferguson wrote. “We also knew Juergen Klopp was happy at Borussia Dortmund, and would be signing a new contract. Meantime, Louis van Gaal had undertaken to lead the Dutch attempt to win the 2014 World Cup.�

EUROPE SOCCER

ITALIAN PREVIEW

Messi scores twice, Madrid stays perfect

Inter Milan’s overhaul pays off After finishing eighth in Italy last season, Inter went on a massive spending spree

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANDREW DAMPF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lionel Messi and Barcelona maintained their winning start to the season despite the Argentina star suddenly looking shaky from the penalty spot.

Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan also have perfect records in Germany and Italy, while Manchester United’s new signing Anthony Martial kept up his impressive start in England.

Here is a look at Europe’s major leagues on Sunday: SPAIN Messi scored a pair of goals and Neymar added another as Barcelona Easily beat Levante 4-1 in the Spanish league. Marc Bartra also netted for the defending champions, which kept a two-point lead over Real Madrid with their fourth consecutive win to start the season.

Villarreal and Celta Vigo also won Sunday to reach 10 points alongside Madrid. Villarreal moved to third place by beating Athletic Bilbao 3-1, while Celta defeated winless Sevilla 2-1.

ENGLAND Martial continued to repay the hefty fee Manchester United paid Monaco for him by scoring twice to spearhead a 3-2 win over Southampton in the Premier League. Martial became the most expensive teenager ever in a deal that raised eyebrows on deadline day, but now has three goals in two league games.

Danny Ings scored his first goal for Liverpool but couldn’t prevent his team from extending its winless streak in the league to four games after a 1-1 draw against Norwich at Anfield — despite Daniel Sturridge returning after a lengthy injury layoff. In the day’s early game, Son Heung-min netted his first league goal to give Tottenham a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

GERMANY Japan midfielder Shinji Kagawa scored one goal and set up another as Borussia Dortmund beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 to reclaim top spot in the German Bundesliga.

Dortmund moved back ahead of Bayern Munich on goal difference with both sides perfect after five games played. Bayern won 3-0 at promoted Darmstadt on Saturday.

Elsewhere, first-half goals from Alexander Esswein and Paul Verhaegh three minutes later were enough for Augsburg to defeat visiting Hannover 2-0; and Leroy Sane’s second-half strike was enough for Schalke to win 1-0 at Stuttgart to climb into fourth.

ITALY Inter Milan remained the only perfect team in Serie A with a 1-0 win at Chievo Verona, bolstering the status of Roberto Mancini’s squad as a possible title contender.

Also, four-time defending champion Juventus beat 10-man Genoa 2-0 for its first victory with Paul Pogba involved in both goals.

Roma’s 38-year-old captain Francesco Totti scored his 300th goal for Roma but the Giallorossi were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Sassuolo.

ROME — Inter Milan’s off-season overhaul is paying off perfectly.

Four rounds into Serie A, the squad coached by Roberto Mancini is the only perfect team in Serie A — the club’s best start in 13 years.

And with four-time defending champion Juventus and Roma already paying the price of the Champions League with injuries to key players, Inter appears fresher and is developing into an unexpected title contender.

Having finished a dismal eighth last season, Inter failed to qualify for Europe and went on a spending spree instead.

New players like Stevan Jovetic, Ivan Perisic, Felipe Melo, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Miranda, Jeison Murillo and Alex Telles are making an immediate impact.

A solid defence has conceded only one goal and allowed Inter to win each match by a one-goal margin.

While the attack is still a work in progress, last season’s Serie A scoring leader Mauro Icardi scored his first goal of the season in Sunday’s 1-0 win over Chievo Verona and is learning to play alongside Perisic and Jovetic.

Felipe Melo and Kondogbia have added physicality in midfield, something that Melo was asked about after Sunday’s match.

“I never tackle with the aim of breaking a leg,” Melo responded.

“But football is a contact sport. If you don’t want to have contact with your opponent you can always choose to play tennis.”

Juventus, meanwhile, will be without Mario Mandzukic for three weeks due to a torn right calf muscle, with fellow forward Alvaro Morata still being monitored for an abdominal problem.

In Wednesday’s midweek round, Inter hosts Hellas Verona, which will be without injured forward Luca Toni.The action begins Tuesday with AC Milan at Udinese.

On Wednesday, it’s: Carpi vs. Napoli; Chievo Verona vs. Torino; Fiorentina vs. Bologna; Juventus vs. Frosinone; Lazio vs. Genoa; Palermo vs.

Sassuolo; and Sampdoria vs. Roma.

Thursday’s lone match features Empoli vs. Atalanta.

Here are some things to know

about this week’s Italian league matches: VULCANIC NAPOLI After failing to win its opening three matches of the season, Napoli erupted to outscore the opposition 10-0 in its last two games.

First, Napoli beat Club Brugge 5-0 in the Europa League last week then the southern club routed Lazio by the same score in Serie A on Sunday.

It was the perfect response to wide-ranging criticism — even from former Napoli great Diego Maradona — of new coach Maurizio Sarri.

“Our approach was perfect,” Sarri said. “But I don’t think we’ve resolved all of our problems, just like I wasn’t worried at the start of the season.”

Napoli forward Gonzalo Higuain, who missed a penalty last season against Lazio that could have secured his club a spot in the Champions

League playoffs, scored twice Sunday.

“We want to bring Napoli back into the Champions League, where it deserves to be,” Higuain said.

SAN SIRO FOREVER AC Milan has scrapped plans for a new stadium, deciding to continue sharing the San Siro with Inter.

Earlier this year, Milan had unveiled tentative plans for a new 48,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof to be built next to the club’s recently opened headquarters in the Portell-Fiera area of Milan.

The new stadium was backed strongly by Milan vice-president Barbara Berlusconi. But club president Silvio Berlusconi can’t be torn away from the San Siro. “(Barbara) understands why we had to backtrack,” Silvio Berlusconi said.

“I’m in love with the San Siro. ... I used to enter the San Siro holding my father’s hand and he would make

me stay all small so he would only have to pay one ticket. The San Siro has a place in my heart.”

In May, the San Siro will host this season’s Champions League final.

TOUGH TORINO With a veteran coach in the 67-year-old Giampiero Ventura and a veteran striker in the 32-year-old Fabio Quagliarella, Torino is off to its best start in more than 20 years.

The “Granata” — maroons — are in second place, two points behind Inter, with three wins and a draw from the opening four rounds.

Quagliarella scored twice in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Sampdoria, giving him four goals for the season.

Brazilian winger Bruno Peres has also been in fine form — helping the squad forget standouts like current Sevilla forward Ciro Immobile and Manchester United fullback Matteo Darmian.

SPANISH LEAGUE

Barcelona gets early challenge vs. Celta Vigos TALES AZZONI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADRID — Barcelona’s perfect start will be challenged this week when it travels to play Celta Vigo, one of the early surprises of the Spanish league.

Still unbeaten after four rounds, Celta Vigo has a chance to take the lead from the defending champion with a victory at its Balaidos Stadium on Wednesday.

It trails Barcelona by two points, along with Real Madrid and Villarreal.

“Celta is one of the most entertaining teams to watch,” Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said after his team’s 4-1 win over Levante on Sunday at the Camp Nou. Barcelona has won its first four matches for the fourth consecutive year, and another victory in Vigo will

secure Lionel Messi’s team a place atop the standings.

Celta, which entered the season with the goal of remaining in the first division, earned a difficult 2-1 win at Sevilla on Sunday for its third victory of the campaign. It could have been savoring its own perfect start to the season if it hadn’t relinquished a two-goal lead at home against 10-man Las Palmas two

rounds ago.

“I think we can play a type of football that allows us to beat any team in this league,” Celta’s Argentine coach Eduardo Berizzo said. “When we play our best, we are capable of beating the best teams in this league.

“It will be a very difficult game against Barcelona, obviously, but we think we can play up to their level and get the victory,” he said.
