HEATING PROJECT TOUR

On Friday, residents of the Tignish area were offered a behind-the-scenes look into the Tignish District Heating Project. Residents were given a tour of the under-construction heating system that will use a hot water boiler, fueled by wood chips, along with underground piping, valves, heat exchangers and energy meters to generate and deliver heat for 10 commercial buildings in the Tignish core. This project is the first of its kind on Prince Edward Island, reducing the region’s carbon footprint by using locally sourced renewable energy fuel instead of oil.

Under the boil of the midday sun, thousands packed into downtown Summerside to show their support for the Lobster Carnival Parade. “Here it comes!� Zack Arsenault excitedly yelled to his mother, Rayona, as the first faint notes of brass and drums crinkled the air in the distance. “My daughters, Paige and Jadyn, are in the Atlantic Academy of Performing Arts and they’re on a float in the parade,� noted Arsenault while pointing out neighbours and friends in the crowd. “Sherri-Lee Darrach runs the Academy program and she’s a friend of mine. She asked the children to participate in this, and my girls were very excited. They’re dressed as cowgirls,� she proudly added. It’s a slow crawl for the 70 floats and three bands that started their journey from Holland College Waterfront Campus parking lot while cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd. Leading the parade is a Prince County RCMP car, fol-

Its value to the economy is worth $300 million, and we think we have the best lobster in the world too.� The floats marched to the beat of three professional bands in the lineup. “We had the Stadacona Band (the oldest Royal Canadian Navy band) lead the parade, then the Belfast Drum and Pipe Band was in the middle, and our own College of Piping finished.� James MacHattie, the principle of the College of Piping, said, “This is a chance for us to give back and show the community where the support is going.� Campbell concluded, “It’s about community spirit and community celebration. And we joined the harness racing this week too. The people really seem to like that it’s back on track at the original location.�

A group of Islanders took a step back in time this weekend to explore an often-overlooked aspect of Charlottetown’s history. More than 250 took part on a walking tour of “the bog�, a diverse community in Charlottetown’s old west end that was founded by former slaves, during the first “Festival of the Bog� on Saturday. Island historian Jim Hornby, who led the walking tour, said he felt it was time to recognize the neighbourhood as a historical and diverse population that lived in the area for about a century beginning around 1810. “They’ve been completely forgotten and ignored,� said Hornby. “They’ve been here for over 200 years so it’s time to accept and acknowledge them.� The community was founded by former slaves who were brought to P.E.I. in the 1780’s and later “cast off� by their

Around 1810, Samuel Martin, who is referred to in historical documents as “Black Sam,â€? had lobbied government on behalf of a group of family members and former slaves to receive a piece of land in the boggy area. Although he never officially received the land, a community did form in the area. Hornby noted that since there were few black immigrants to P.E.I., the area saw black and white individuals marry with “the bogâ€? eventually becoming a mixed-race area with a distinct African heritage. “What united them was not

so much race as much as poverty,â€? said Hornby, who noted that it was far from the only “poor areaâ€? in town. “They had the same problems that other poor communities in the city had, except with the addition of racism.â€? Traffic was blocked as Hornby led the group down Rochford Street to Pownal Square while sharing anecdotes about those who lived in the area. Linda Hennessey, a direct descendant of former slaves David and Kesiah Sheppard, said the community was also integral to the survival of other groups in the city. “The loyalists hired my family to get up in the morning and start the fires, then go hunting in Victoria Park‌ without our family, the rich people would have had a very difficult time living here,â€? she said. “They were very resilient and had a lot of things in their way‌ but they did a good job at everything.â€? The event, which was held

in partnership with the Black Cultural Society of P.E.I., ended with music and art in Pownal Square celebrating the community. Scott Parsons, president of the society, said he felt the celebration was a long time coming and thanked Hornby for advocating on behalf of the area. “It’s really nice to see this happening,� said Parsons, noting that the families from “the bog� stayed in P.E.I. Because of this, he said there are some Islanders who are unaware of their black ancestry. “As I said in one of my songs, ‘the colour has been washed out of me, but the history lives inside,’� said Parsons. “And a lot of them didn’t know (they had black heritage) until recent years because it was kind of kept hidden. But this is 2017 and it’s time we start celebrating this.� The event also received funding and assistance from Canada 150 and the City of Charlottetown.

Q #PEI

P.E.I.’s inferiority complex Whatever your goal, don’t stop trying to achieve it My first thought upon returning to P.E.I. from Toronto and having Facebook automatically default to disproportionately favouring the posts of fellow Islanders in my locale over the posts of friends elsewhere, was how odd it was that nearly everyone enjoyed and employed the hashtag “#PEI.� I don’t necessarily think it is odd to enjoy one’s own province, rather it is odd to advertise that you enjoy it. I sincerely hope the government is sponsoring your status updates. I quickly realized, after many flopped jokes about my own people’s peculiar, collective provincial promotion, that the horrible stereotype I grew up hearing – that islanders have an inferiority complex – is true. Headlines in local media are often guilty of inverse tokenism. It is so shocking that any one of us little Islanders would “make it to the big leagues,� for example, that there is a

Natalie Pendergast Natalie Sans ‘h’ media storm when one does. “An Islander is Recognized by (Mainland City) For (Type of Accomplishment)� is a common formula for news stories here. It is as though that lone Islander has done what the rest of us couldn’t, and it is a shock to us. The whole “buy local� movement is evermore popular here because not only does it reduce carbon emissions and boost our economy, but it increases the “P.E.I. content� in our daily lives.

ity complex, the effort of Islanders to promote everything local evinces the desire to also fill our social and psychological space with Island-ness. And this type of visibility for visibility’s sake comes across as, well, schmaltzy. It also doesn’t work, in the long run. You see, the problem with cancon rules and Islanders’ self-promotional gushing is that they are essentially a defence mechanism. “We must defend, perhaps pre-emptively, against the perception that we are not good enough,� is what I hear when I see #PEI. Furthermore, Islanders telling people, almost defensively, that P.E.I. is heavenly and delightful, is tantamount to your mom telling people you are awesome, or you going to a job interview and saying, “I’m smart. I really am.� You wouldn’t do that because firstly, it is vague, and secondly, it is an instant credibility zapper, since you are clearly biased

New generation Generation XX celebrates 20 years, founding members reminisce about early days BY MILLICENT MCKAY JOURNAL PIONEER SUMMERSIDE

In 1996, Mark Greenan stood outside an old building next to the courthouse in downtown Summerside. He looked at it and thought, “Man this is going to be a lot of work.” Twenty years later, Greenan wouldn’t change his role in the project for a second. “I was on the youth board for Generation XX before it was even open. I spent a lot of 1996 hauling bricks and painting tiles hoping to get it ready for summer of 1997.” This summer, the youth facility and indoor skateboard and scooter park turns 20. “When we took over the place, it was in disrepair. At one point I was worried we wouldn’t have it opened in time. But there we were opening day. And here we are now. “As a teenager, it was a manifestation of how much work it takes to bring a good project to life.” How it all began According to Greenan, the idea sparked after a conversation between Summerside police Const. Mike Rioux, and Kinkora teen Melonie Smith. Smith and a group of local kids were hanging out in town when Rioux told them to move somewhere else, explained Greenan. That’s when Smith told Rioux there was nowhere else for them to go. Days later, public meetings and inquiries began to locate a facility and get approval from city council to operate a facility. Originally, Greenan and the other founders saw the facility as an all ages venue that people could use to hang out and play music in. It was going to be a drug and alcohol free location that would be monitored by

adults. Over the years, the facility has been recognized for preventing crime, providing a safe and judgement free space as well as encouraging volunteerism and community mindfulness. A true inspiration For Greenan, it’s one of the most important places in his life. “I think I learned more there about life than anything I learned in high school. In so many ways it’s been a positive influence on my life. “As a young person, it was the place I realized my dreams. And that’s a really powerful thing,” Greenan said, voice cracking with tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

Executive Director wanted Gordie Whitlock has worked as the executive director of Generation XX for nearly 20 years. He vividly remembers his first time in the building. “It was either June or July 1997. There were a handful of kids milling around and one volunteer keeping an eye out. “The place was dusty and needed some tender loving care but I could see the potential. It was a neat space with the indoor skate park downstairs and some activities in the main level upstairs.” After the visit, Whitlock decided to apply for the open executive director position. He was called in for an interview a few days later.

Q REUNION

“There was a number of people interviewed that night. Nine people applied for the job. We were all sitting in what’s called the green room.” When his name was called he entered a room with nine youth at the table and one adult. “They knew what they were looking for. They asked me about musical background, contacts I might have, sound systems and fundraising.” Whitlock said he went into the interview with a plan laid out for what he envisioned happening.” Days later Whitock got the job. Staying current with Community Whitlock says it’s the way

the facility is run that encourages kids to come out and get involved. “We have an adult council, but we combine it with our youth one. We believe that they should have equal say. Oftentimes adults think they know what young people want, and that’s not usually the case. “And staff and volunteers understand that and there is a real level of respect. That’s a really cool in my mind. And I think that’s what keeps the centre alive.” On Aug. 25 and 26, Generation XX is planning to have a public celebration including an open house and family activities. millicent.mckay@journalpioneer.com

Springbrook Schoolhouse has a history that reaches back before Confederation. The former one-room schoolhouse, originally located on a graveyard where the children would play, is holding its first all-student reunion. Carolyn Paynter, from Charlottetown, is organizing the event. She attended Springbrook Schoolhouse in the early 1950s, and fondly remembers the rural community rallying together to support each other. “In the winter when it was really stormy the farmers would take turns bringing us to school on their horse and sleigh. They would wrap blankets around us. And the women’s institute would give us canned vegetable or tomato soup,” she reminisced. The community was originally known as Greenwich, and earliest references of schools in the area stretch back to the early 19th century. Although the exact date the schoolhouse was built has grown blurry with time. Throughout most of the years the schoolhouse was in operation, a single teacher would tutor all subjects from Grades one to 10. “We had around 25 people in class and there might have been one person in Grade one, one person in Grade two, maybe no one in Grade three, and so on,” explained Paynter. “It must have been hard for the teacher because they would have to cover every subject.”

Back then the tiny schoolhouse was nestled in front of the freestanding Geddie bell tower on the Presbyterian Church graveyard. In 1948, the building was moved to its present location by log rollers and a single horse. “We had outdoor toilets, one big room where the desks were in rows, and a fire to keep the building warm.” Paynter added with a grin, “The farmers’ cows from would come stare at us when we were playing in the yard.” Paynter left the Island and joined the Armed Forces as a finance clerk and lost touch with many classmates over the years. She is enthusiastic for the reunion that will take place in New

School days - Springbrook School was newly named in 1925. - The building was originally located across the road in front of the Geddie Bell tower, and children would play in the Presbyterian Church graveyard. - In 1948 log rollers and a single horse moved the schoolhouse to its present – and more convenient – location. - For many years a single teacher would tutor all subjects to all students from Grade one to 10. - Children’s initials can be found on the old wooden shingles.

London Hall, on Saturday, Aug. 5, at 3 p.m. “I am looking forward to seeing everyone,” she concluded. For more information on the reunion, contact Carolyn Paynter at: cjpaynter001@gmail. com.

Tammy Rix is on a mission to grow the West Prince Chamber of Commerce. Since reactivating in February, the West Prince Chamber’s membership list has grown to 50. Recently hired as the Chamber’s Executive Director, Rix is hoping to see that number doubled. She lists several benefits of membership: advocacy for small business, Shop Local programs, business mixers, excellence awards, business relationship and referrals, promotion and advertising, increased awareness and attraction, inclusion in a West Prince business directory, Esso fuel discounts and participation in a Chamber group medical insurance plan. “Chambers are among the most active and necessary organizations happening now, and not just for businesses, but for communities too,” she said. CBDC West Prince Ventures and its manager, Maxine Rennie, have been working with a group of local business professionals to facilitate the revitalization of the Chamber.

mittee, brings her professional business background and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities that small businesses in West Prince can face, said the organization’s president, Geoffrey Irving. Irving is thrilled with the opportunity the organization provides for businesses to embrace new networking activities. The chamber is organizing a year-round schedule of lunches, breakfasts, mixers and other special events to make meeting and mixing with potential business partners, clients and new friends more enjoyable, he said. “The West Prince Chamber is at an exciting new crossroads and ready for its next development. “We now get to define what the future looks like with our members, with our partners and with our province,” Rix offered. “We are going to build on the strengths that have served West Prince businesses and their communities, and we are also going to develop exciting new ones.” Over the next few weeks Rix and executive members plan to approach local business people, including farmers and fishermen, about purchasing Chamber memberships. “Reaching out to people for a stronger sense of community is what it will take,” she said. eric.mccarthy@journalpioneer.com

Gulf habitats under attack

I

nstead of taking measures to protect endangered whales and other fragile marine life in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, our so-called environment friendly federal government is heading in the opposite direction. In recent weeks, scientists and environmentalists were sent reeling by the deaths of seven right whales in the Gulf. Several others entangled in fishing gear were cut free — one with tragic consequences this week when a fisherman died after being struck by a floundering whale. Necropsies conducted on a P.E.I. beach indicated at least two whales died from blunt trauma, most likely caused by impact from ships. Others were caught in a lethal grip from fishing gear. It would seem logical that immediate steps are needed to protect this majestic species. The right whale population has dropped to approximately 525 and their deaths are devastating. Ottawa had announced plans to increase Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along our coasts and seashores — by five per cent this year, and enlarging that to 10 per cent by 2020. The process for designating the Laurentian Channel as an MPA is working its way through the parliamentary system. Yet, in recent days, Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced that 80 per cent of that new, so-called MPA would be open to oil and gas development. Pressure is obviously coming from politicians and oil and gas lobbyists to open up the Gulf for drilling with the promise of more jobs and hefty royalties. The channel is a main entry to the Gulf from the Cabot Strait and Atlantic Ocean. It’s a key feeding and migratory pathway for whales, endangered leatherback turtles and is one of the only known mating grounds for endangered porbeagle sharks. The Gulf appears to be an emerging habitat for right whales, and scientists must figure out where they are and what can be done to protect them. There must be consultation and cooperation with fishermen and shippers to come up with ways to protect the animals by rerouting shipping lanes, alerting fishermen to the whales’ presence and setting speed limits for vessels. Drilling increases the odds for more whale deaths. Earlier this year, the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board issued a new four-year, 52,000-hectare exploration licence for the sensitive Old Harry shelf in the Gulf. It gives the company more preparation time before starting exploration work this fall in the area between the Iles de la Madeleine and N.L. Fishermen, environmentalists and First Nations oppose the exploration work and any future drilling. Their concerns are justified because a potential spill would have a devastating impact on lucrative lobster, groundfish, tuna, crab and shrimp industries. It would be a tourism disaster if Maritime beaches were defiled. There is still time to change Minister LeBlanc’s mind. We don’t want to see any more whales towed to P.E.I. beaches so scientists can confirm our worst fears — that man once again is destroying our planet one species at a time. Minister LeBlanc must be made to see the folly of his actions.

Needs in both places It is a shame that this has become an either/or scrap over limited funds BY DR. SUSAN HARTLEY The #HowManyWade Campaign, coupled with the recent coverage in the local media and by the University of King’s College Journalism school, is bringing the reality of mental health needs to the forefront of our conversations and concerns. Vulnerable Islanders have found the courage to publicly speak up and talk about their fears, anxieties and distress. All Islanders deserve this issue to be part of a bigger conversation than what is currently happening in government. I work in the mental health system in P.E.I. I choose to work outside of the government funded programs for many reasons and recognize the privilege I have in being able to speak out without concern of repercussions. My independence also allows me to be an advocate for individuals in the system who are not receiving appropriate, ethical or timely care. In this role I have had the opportunity to interact with many professionals and bureaucrats within the publicly funded system. At times I have been impressed by the willingness of bureaucrats, physicians, and frontline workers

to go out of their way to make my clients’ situations just a bit better. Too often, however, there has been an unwillingness to collaborate or even engage in discussion regarding a mutual client’s needs. Most concerning is when wellintentioned, compassionate and dedicated mental health workers are asked to offer intervention that is beyond their scope of expertise because there just isn’t anyone else; or when clients are seen on an urgent basis and there isn’t a program for comprehensive or follow-up care to offer them. To be honest, this doesn’t feel like a system. I have commented previously that Islanders are being offered Band-Aid solutions rather than co-ordinated sustainable options. And it seems to me that the rhetoric of recent weeks is about how to share the only Band-Aid left in the box. The $400,000 will not cover the needs or fill the gaps. Some within the system are advocating for expanded acute care services while others defend the decision to spend the money on preventive measures within the school system. It is a shame that this has be-

come an either/or scrap over limited funds when we clearly have needs in both places, and more importantly, distracts us from the bigger conversation about the overarching need for an integrated system joining all the parts in a coordinated, seamless manner. It is not apparent to me that the Department of Health and Wellness has applied best practices in its management of the resources allocated to mental health. Islanders need a plan that is regularly evaluated and reviewed, and adapted as unintended consequences are identified and as needs change. Without a plan, how is it determined where best to spend the next $400,000? By whoever wins the scrap? Not good enough. Our decision-makers must become focused on the realities at hand. Islanders are anxious and concerned and we need leaders who know how to resolve their differences, apply best practice management and design approaches, and provide well thought out direction.

Refugee issue roils Polish politics U.S. President Donald Trump visited Poland in early July, stressing the country’s importance as a loyal NATO ally. “Poland will always prevail,” he said, praising the courage and spirit of the Polish people in a major speech at Warsaw’s Krasinski Square on July 6. The backdrop to his address was the memorial to the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 against Nazi Germany. It resulted in more than 200,000 Polish deaths and the destruction of much of the city. Poland is among the five NATO members that spend at least two per cent of their gross domestic product on the military. It also hosts a contingent of about 900 U.S. troops, and has for many years contributed to U.S. and NATO missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is now acquiring a new American missile system for its defence. After all, it still shares a small border in the northeast with its historic enemy, Russia. Trump also met leaders of the 11 other European Union member countries attending

the Three Seas Conference. It is intended to serve as a counterweight to Franco-German dominance in European politics. The country is doing very well. With a population of nearly 40 million, Poland’s half-trilliondollar economy is already the world’s 24th largest. Exports continue to boom and the trade balance is in surplus. Poland has been ruled since October 2015 by the Law and Justice Party (Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc, or PiS). It won 37.6 per cent of the vote in elections to the Sejm, the lower house of parliament, good for 235 of its 460 seats. Jaroslaw and Lech Kaczynski, twin brothers, founded the party in 2001. Lech died in a plane crash in Russia in 2010, while president of the country.

Jaroslaw is currently the party’s chair, though not formally part of the government. He served for a little over a year as prime minister in 2006-2007 during his brother’s presidency. The right-wing PiS pursues a nationalist agenda and is more skeptical than its liberal Civic Platform predecessor about the EU, which Poland joined in 2004. Poland is a classical nation state; almost 97 per cent of its 38.6 million people are ethnic Polish-speaking Catholics, and they want to keep it that way. The European Commission, the executive arm of the EU, on June 13 initiated legal action against Poland for failing to comply with an order to take in thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The dispute dates back to September 2015, when, at the height of Europe’s migration crisis, EU member states voted to relocate 160,000 refugees already in Italy and Greece to other parts of the bloc. Nine countries in Central and Eastern Europe were ordered to take in around 15,000 migrants.

But several refused. Poland was given a quota of 6,182 migrants, not one of whom has been admitted. Opposition to the EU demand was one of the issues the PiS campaigned on during the October 2015 electoral campaign. Poland’s PiS prime minister, Beata Szydlo, recently declared that her country would not be “blackmailed” by EU officials. “We are not going to take part in the madness of the Brussels elite,” she told parliament on May 24. “If you cannot see that terrorism currently has the potential to hurt every country in Europe, and you think that Poland should not defend itself, you are going hand in hand with those who point this weapon against Europe, against all of us.” A few days earlier, Jaroslaw Kaczynski blamed German Chancellor Angela Merkel for causing the bloc’s migration problems, and insisted that Germany bear the consequences, not Poland. President Andrzej Duda, who is now officially an independent, but came up through the rank

of the PiS, said on June 8 that he supports holding a referendum asking Poles if they want to accept refugees, but not until 2019, and only if migration is still a “problem” then. The current Polish government doesn’t agree “with a mandatory redistribution of refugees to Poland,” he told reporters. The public certainly supports this position. Some 70 per cent want to stop all migration from Muslim countries; and 40 per cent say they would prefer financial penalties to accepting the refugee quota. The quarrel allows the Polish government to further its narrative that this is part of a broader effort by the EU to impinge on Poland’s “sovereign right to control its own borders, cultural identity and security,” argues Daniel Tilles, an assistant professor of history at the Pedagogical University of Krakow. It hurts the EU “for no benefit whatsoever.” Henry Srebrnik, a Polish citizen, is a professor of political science at the University of Prince Edward Island.

Art created by young people from every province and territory hanging in airport CHARLOTTETOWN

The Charlottetown Airport is recognizing Canada’s 150th birthday with the official unveiling of 18 hand-painted murals created by youth from every province and territory across Canada. The national 150+ Reasons We Love Canada project was created by VIBE Arts, an award-winning charitable organization that engages youth from marginalized communities through free arts education. The artists, aged nine and over, come from 30 community organizations across the country including homeless shelters, under-resourced schools and youth agencies. The murals express the spirit of Canada from their many unique perspectives honouring the diversity, culture, character and strength of our nation. The original hand-painted murals will be exhibited underground in Toronto’s subway stations with digital displays in 20 Canadian airports, 300

outdoor billboards and in four Canadian embassies around the world. After the exhibit, the original murals will return to the local community where they were created. In Charlottetown, the art was created by youth from the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottetown in partnership with This Town Is Small, a registered non-profit encouraging collaboration among artists and the community. “This impactful initiative commemorates our nation’s 150th birthday and recognizes Canada’s future cultural lead-

ers,” says Doug Newson, CEO of Charlottetown Airport. “We want to celebrate with our community by creating a memorable art display we can all enjoy.” “Our 150+ murals represent the creative ability and leadership of 500 young Canadians, brought together to transform public space and inspire a nation through their collective art making,” says Julie Frost, executive and artistic director of VIBE Arts. The murals at the Charlottetown Airport will be on display until October.

Q EDUCATION

Myers calls for Grimmer resignation FROM A1 “Why they didn’t tell the parents and why they didn’t tell the staff if beyond me.” A statement from department of education’s media relations contact said, “There were a couple of breaches in abatement protocol very early in the construction process involving the removal of lead-based paint and the removal of asbestos containing ceiling tiles (one per cent to three per cent). As soon

as the issues were identified, work stopped, the areas were shut down, and the WCB was notified.” Those areas were then cleaned according to proper protocol and reopened shortly after once all air and dust samples came back clean, the statement continued. “The construction was at the east end of the school in the former English Language School Board areas, away from students and staff. “There was no need to com-

municate with parents as students and teachers were not permitted in the area, and were not deemed at risk.” However, there was custodial staff that had been in the area, and meetings were held to explain what happened and update them on new protocols to prevent future breeches. It ended, “An email was issued to all TOSH staff advising them of what happened.”

brief Referendum underway on Quebec City Muslim cemetery project SAINT-APOLLINAIRE, Que. — A referendum is underway to determine whether the Quebec City region gets its first cemetery owned and operated by its Muslim community. The proposed burial site is located in Saint-Apollinaire, a town of 6,000 about 35 kilometres southwest of Quebec City. Only 49 people are eligible to vote because only those living or working near the proposed site get to cast a ballot. Opponents of the project say Muslims should be buried in Islamic sections of existing cemeteries. But Quebec City Muslims say their community deserves the same rights as all other religious groups, which have their own sectarian burial grounds. Results were expected Sunday evening.

Missing scuba diver found in mud at bottom of lake ATHABASCA, Alta. — The body of a missing scuba diver has been found partially embedded in the mud at the bottom of a northern Alberta lake. RCMP Staff Sgt. Jeremie Landry says commercial divers were working Sunday to free the body of the 44-year-old man from the mud in Island Lake, about 150 metres from shore and at a depth of approximately five metres. Landry says the man, who was from Athabasca County, went for a recreational dive alone on Saturday afternoon and was reported missing about two hours later.

Q DISASTER

Kamloops ‘stretched’ by too many evacuees Some British Columbians chased from homes by wildfires being diverted elsewhere BY THE CANADIAN PRESS KAMLOOPS, B.C.

As more British Columbians are chased from their homes by wind-fanned wildfires, officials say they are concerned that their place of refuge in Kamloops may be stretched too thin. Seven evacuation orders were issued Saturday afternoon and evening, including for thousands in the City of Williams Lake and the surrounding area. Cariboo Regional District Chairman Al Richmond says that while the flames haven’t reached Williams Lake, he and the mayor decided to issue the evacuation order because the fire threatened to cut exit routes. Initially, they had planned that Williams Lake residents would go north to Prince George, but Richmond says flames crossed that highway, and the majority of evacuees were diverted south towards Kamloops. But he says Kamloops is “stretched,’’ and because evacuees are also coming from Loon Lake, it will only get worse. He says they’re concerned about overloading the centre and he’s urging all evacuees to call the Red Cross, which is helping co-ordinate the efforts. Officials in Lake Country said residents hoping to get back to their homes are being turned

away. Evacuees were forced to flee quickly on Saturday when a fire spread in the forest and brush above Okanagan Lake north of Kelowna. Lake Country fire chief Steve Windsor said people are now trying to figure out whether their homes have been destroyed — and several have.

“We’re not releasing the numbers yet,’’ he said. “But at this point we’re saying ‘numerous,’ and it is quite numerous.’’ In an earlier news release, Central Okanagan Emergency Operations said ``as many as 10’’ structures had been reported damaged. Windsor said no one has

been seriously hurt by the fire, but some firefighters have been treated for minor injuries. The fire has largely been contained, he said, but the situation has not yet been stabilized. Winds threaten to blow the flames past retardant lines that were set up overnight, and the fire is behaving “aggressively.’’

Police are not releasing the man’s name.

Trudeau takes in rodeo on Stampede visit CALGARY — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says some of the people he met during his Calgary Stampede visit on Saturday light-heartedly mentioned a gaffe he made during a Canada Day speech, during which he skipped Alberta as he rattled off Canada’s provinces and territories. “I got a couple of people teasing me for it, but no one’s made a big deal of it. It’s sort of a gentle ribbing,’’ Trudeau told reporters on the secondlast day of the 10-day western celebration. “I think everyone understands that mistakes happen every now and then and the fact that I keep coming back to Alberta regularly to connect with people, to work on issues that matter to Albertans is something that I know people appreciate very much.’’ It was earlier thought that Trudeau would miss the Stampede — a popular schmoozing event for politicians of all stripes — as it coincided with G20 meetings in Hamburg, Germany, and a U.S. governors’ meeting in Rhode Island. But Trudeau says he managed to rearrange his schedule for Saturday’s whirlwind visit. The day started off with a meeting with Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi at a downtown hotel. From there, he headed to two community breakfasts, where he held babies, took selfies and served up pancakes amongst big crowds. He then visited with Indigenous leaders at the Stampede’s Indian Village, where he spoke with community members inside a tipi and accepted gifts that included a blanket, a hand-made beaded medallion, sweetgrass and smudge box. He capped off the day with an appearance at the rodeo. The Canadian Press

‘Very high number of non-compliance’ THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO

Federal prison guards are failing to comply with rules around videotaping their use of force against inmates in a majority of cases, according to data obtained by The Canadian Press. In the 2016-2017 fiscal year, the Office of the Correctional Investigator led by Ivan Zinger reviewed 1,436 incidents in which guards resorted to force against a prisoner. While the situation has improved in recent years, the high incidence of problems around video — in 67 per cent of the cases — is of significant concern, the prison ombudsman said in an interview. “This is still a very high number of non-compliance,’’ Zinger said from Ottawa. “That’s what is alarming.’’ Prison policy mandates that guards use a hand-held camera to video planned uses of force, as well as in spontaneous situations where feasible. Compliance problems exist in both scenarios, data show. Some of the issues with video

compliance are of a relatively minor or technical nature but in other cases, crucial video of incidents in which a prisoner alleges guards used excessive force _ a criminal offence _ simply isn’t available when it should be. One recent example is the case of Timothy (Mitch) Nome, who alleged guards in March at Kent Institution in Agassiz, B.C., beat him in his cell without provocation. The independent investigator from Zinger’s office found no hand-held video of the incident was available for reasons not properly explained. The lack of video evidence that could have proven or refuted Nome’s allegation left the investigator with little choice other than to say he couldn’t conclude what happened in Nome’s cell that morning, his report shows. Overall, Zinger said, cases where video goes missing, is deleted, or is otherwise unavailable to his ombudsman office are relatively rare but have an enormous impact. “They cast an incredibly negative light on, and it may taint all,

the good work that correctional officers do,’’ he said. “It’s all good to say, ‘Wx’ve acted appropriately,’ but if you can demonstrate that you have — and the video does that for you — then it makes the system even more credible and erases any doubt in anybody’s mind.’’ Non-compliance incidents involving video have fallen since the 83.5 per cent found in 20142015, but the Office of the Correctional Investigator identified ongoing issues such as: r %FMBZT JO EJTQBUDIJOH IBOE held cameras during spontaneous use of force when time and resources are available; r 'BJMVSF UP WJEFP QSF JODJEFOU briefings when force is planned; r -BDL PG WJEFP PG EFDPOUBNination procedures after guards have used chemical spray on an inmate. The correctional service wouldn’t be commenting on the data because they came from a third party and would need to be verified, spokeswoman Laura Cumming said in an email. She also said policy breaches are not tolerated and would be investigated.

Given the immense power entrusted to guards, the ombudsman said, full compliance with law and policy in all aspects is critical. Video can help protect vulnerable inmates from abuse, but can also protect guards against false allegations of brutality. “This is behind the wall and it’s always very secretive (so) there’s even more of a necessity that you follow the policy with respect to video evidence,’’ Zinger said. “It’s to the benefit of everybody to make sure that cameras are used appropriately.’’ One problem area Correctional Service Canada could easily fix, he said, relates to the amount of time video from the myriad surveillance cameras in prisons must be kept before they become part of an active investigation. Current policy allows the service to retain video for six days. Zinger said that’s too short and means information may disappear before anyone gets to it. He wants reinstatement of a 30-day retention policy that existed until 2005.

Trump to reveal his hopes for NAFTA THE CANADIAN PRESS WASHINGTON

After campaigning and complaining about NAFTA for two years, Donald Trump is about to start doing some explaining: the U.S. president is poised to release a list as early as Monday revealing how he wants to change the deal. American law requires that the administration publish a list of its objectives entering trade negotiations. The reason this could happen any day is because the administration hopes to

start negotiations around Aug. 16 and the law requires this list be posted online 30 days in advance. Expect the Canadian government to say little in response to the list. “I can’t imagine that we would start negotiating before the negotiations actually start,’’ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday. “We’re going to be responsible about this, to be thoughtful and responsible in how we engage the administration.’’ That tight-lipped approach stems from the Canadian gov-

ernment’s overall strategy: Make the Americans lay out their cards first, given that they asked for these negotiations and in the parlance of trade talks are the “demandeur.’’ The U.S. has signalled wildly conflicting approaches. Trump keeps threatening to rip up the trade agreement in the absence of a major renegotiation. His vice-president just delivered a speech exuding collegiality and promising a new NAFTA that would be a “win-win-win.’’ The signals to Congress have been equally contradictory.

www.ebook3000.com

In a leaked draft of a letter to lawmakers, the administration showed at a desire to play hardball and seek changes that would be deemed non-starters by the other countries. It later released a bare-bones, modest version of that letter. It was with this letter that the Trump administration formally declared its intention to enter trade negotiations with Canada and Mexico. Those mixed messages are due in part to philosophical differences within Trump’s team about how aggressive to get on trade.

brief Cancelled $30K wedding becomes dinner for homeless INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana woman didn’t want her cancelled $30,000 wedding to go to waste, so she threw a dinner party for the homeless. A bus pulled up to the swanky event centre on Saturday that Sarah Cummins had booked for the reception in Carmel, a suburb north of Indianapolis. About a dozen veterans from a local organization were among the guests who dined on bourbon-glazed meatballs, roasted garlic bruschetta and wedding cake. Cummins told the Indianapolis Star that she and her fiance called off the wedding a week ago. She declined to give a reason, but she said they were left with a non-refundable contract for the Ritz Charles in Carmel and a plated dinner for 170 guests. “For me, it was an opportunity to let these people know they deserved to be at a place like this just as much as everyone else does,’’ Cummins said. Cummins said she decided that rather than throw away the food she would bring some purpose to the event and contacted area homeless shelters. She cheerfully greeted and welcomed her guests when they arrived Saturday. Several local businesses and residents donated suits, dresses and other items for the guests to wear. Cummins, a 25-year-old Purdue University pharmacy student, said her ex-fiance, Logan Araujo, footed most of the bill for the wedding contract, with Cummins and her parents, along with one of Araujo’s family friends, paying the rest.

New Jersey beekeeper, wife hospitalized after colony attacks RAMSEY, N.J. — Officials say a New Jersey beekeeper and his wife were hospitalized after the man’s colony became aggressive and swarmed part of the town where the hive was located. Ramsey Police Chief Bryan Gurney told The Record on Saturday it’s unclear what angered the colony, but he was concerned and planning to subdue or destroy the bees. The town’s Office of Emergency Management warned people to stay clear of the area where the attack happened in Ramsey, a northern New Jersey town a short distance from the New York state line. The beekeeper and his wife were taken to an area hospital but were not identified. Srini Abbaraju, a New Jerseybased bee remover, told The Record it’s rare for managed colonies to attack and that they usually sting if disturbed.

Sixteen Indian pilgrims killed as bus falls into gorge SRINAGAR, India — A bus plunged into a 45-metre-deep gorge in the Indian portion of Kashmir on Sunday, killing at least 16 Hindu pilgrims and injuring more than two dozen as they travelled to a cave shrine in the Himalayas, police said. Police officer S.P. Vaid said the bus swerved off a mountain road, but the cause of the accident was not immediately clear. A police statement said 27 injured, 19 in critical condition, were taken to hospitals in Banihal, a town 120 kilometres south of Srinagar, the main city in Indian-held Kashmir. Police said it had rained in the area, making the road slippery. Some landslides caused a heavy traffic jam on the main highway linking Srinagar with the rest of India. The Associated Press

Teen charged in London acid attacks Amid mounting public concern, British government considering crackdown BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON

British police have charged a teenager with a spate of London acid attacks, as authorities considered whether tougher sentences would curb a spike in assaults with corrosive liquids. The Metropolitan Police force said late Saturday that a

16-year-old boy faces 15 charges, including grievous bodily harm. The boy, who can’t be named because of his age, was arrested after five moped riders were sprayed with a corrosive substance during a 90-minute period last week. One man was left with lifechanging injuries, police said. At least two of those attacked were

drivers for food delivery services Deliveroo and UberEATS. A 15-year-old boy who was also arrested has been released on bail. Police say the number of reported attacks with corrosive liquids in London rose from 261 in 2015 to 454 in 2016. Some appear related to gang activity or the theft of cars and

motorbikes. Amid mounting public concern, the British government said it is considering increasing sentences for acid attacks to a maximum of life. Home Secretary Amber Rudd wrote in the Sunday Times newspaper that those who use noxious liquids as a weapon should “feel the full force of the law.’’

Trump lawyer says nothing illegal in son’s Russia meeting Senate Intelligence Committee wants to talk to everyone who attended BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON

President Donald Trump’s attorney insisted Sunday there was nothing illegal in the meeting Trump’s eldest son had with a Russian lawyer during last year’s presidential campaign. Donald Trump Jr.’s willingness to meet with the lawyer in the expectation of receiving incriminating information about Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has raised new questions about possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The information had been described as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.’’ The president’s attorney, Jay Sekulow, defended Trump and his son in a series of appearances Sunday on five television networks. “Nothing in that meeting that

would have taken place, even if it was about the topic of an opposition research paper from a Russian lawyer, is illegal or a violation of the law,’’ Sekulow said on “Fox News Sunday,’’ a point he repeated several times. He said the president did not attend the meeting and was not aware of it. The attorney’s focus on the law appears aimed at moving beyond the shifting accounts of the meeting given by Trump Jr. At first, the June 2016 meeting was said to be about a Russian adoption program. Then, it was to hear information about Clinton. Finally, Trump Jr. was compelled to release emails that revealed he had told an associate that he would “love’’ Russia’s help in obtaining incriminating information about the Democratic nominee. The number of people known to be at the meeting also

changed over time. As recently as Friday, Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian-American lobbyist and former Soviet military officer, confirmed his participation to The Associated Press. Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that he wants everyone who attended the meeting to appear before his committee, one of several in Congress investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and potential co-ordination with the Trump campaign. In addition to Trump Jr. others in the Trump Tower meeting included Trump’s sonin-law, Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort, both of whom played major roles in the campaign. “I want to hear from everyone in that meeting and get their version of the story, as well as I think we may find out there

may have been other meetings as well. We don’t know that yet,’’ Warner, D-Va., said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.’’ Sekulow said he was not aware of any other meetings involving Russians. “I represent the president of the United States, but Donald Trump Jr. said not in the context of formal meetings. He said he may have met with Russian people, as a lot of people meet with Russian people, so that’s not unusual,’’ Sekulow said on CNN’s “State of the Union.’’ Trump himself came to the defence of his son, who he said “is being scorned by the Fake News Media.’’ The president ended a series of Sunday morning tweets by writing: “With all of its phoney unnamed sources & highly slanted & even fraudulent reporting, #Fake News is DISTORTING DEMOCRACY in our country!’’

Iran detains president’s brother, sentences American THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TEHRAN, IRAN

Iran’s judiciary said Sunday that the brother of President Hassan Rouhani has been detained, and a Chinese-American citizen sentenced to 10 years behind bars for “infiltrating’’ the country. The Chinese-American national was identified as Xiyue Wang, 37, and entered Iran as a student, according to Mizan

Online, a website affiliated with the judiciary. Wang was not previously known to have been among the Americans detained in Iran. Judiciary spokesman Gholamhosein Mohseni Ejehi announced both developments during a regular press briefing with local journalists. He said Rouhani’s brother, Hossein Fereidoun, was taken into custody over allegations of financial impropriety and is eli-

gible for bail, but has not paid it yet. Fereidoun is a close confidante of the moderate president, a cleric who changed his surname to Rouhani, meaning “spiritual,’’ after joining the seminary decades ago. Fereidoun was part of the negotiating team that ultimately sealed Iran’s landmark nuclear deal with world powers in 2015, winning the country relief from international sanctions in ex-

change for limits on its atomic energy program. The deal was unpopular with Iranian hard-liners, whose influence runs deep within the judiciary. They saw the nuclear deal as giving too much away in exchange for too little. Fereidoun has long been a target of hard-liners, who have accused him of misdeeds including money laundering and misappropriation of government funds.

Huntsville claims Meadowlands Pace Holds off Downbytheseaside by a head BY MIKE FARRELL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.

Huntsville held off Downbytheseaside by a head in the $738,550 Meadowlands Pace on Saturday night. It was the fifth Pace victory for driver Tim Tetrick. He trails only recently retired Hall of

Famer John Campbell, who had seven wins in the Meadowlands Racetrack’s signature race for three-year-olds. Trainer Ray Schnittker improved his Pace record to 2 for 2. He combined with Tetrick to win in 2010 with One More Laugh. Huntsville continued his remarkable consistency with a

12th win in 18 starts. He has never finished worse than second. Huntsville got away fourth in the early stages before charging past Blood Line to grab the lead down the backstretch. The 1-5 favourite appeared comfortably in charge on the final turn as Downbytheseaside tipped to the outside to mount a challenge.

It was a two-horse battle in the lane as Huntsville dug in while Downbytheseaside relentlessly ate into his lead. The finish line arrived just in time for last season’s two-yearold champion to earn his first major win of this campaign. “My horse was tired late,”’ Tetrick said. “He kept pushing all the way to the wire.”

Cabrera’s walk in 11th gives Tigers 6-5 win over Jays BY DAVE HOGG THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT

The Tigers’ top players created a winning rally without doing much of anything. Alex Avila, Justin Upton and Miguel Cabrera drew walks in the 11th inning, the last with the bases loaded, giving Detroit a 6-5 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. “That’s how experience wins games,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “Young guys are going up there thinking about a walk-off homer and swinging as soon as they see the white of the ball. Veterans are patient enough to wait for what the pitcher gives them.” Avila was walked by Jeff Beliveau (1-1) leading off the 11th and advanced on Jose Iglesias’ sacrifice. “It’s tempting to try to do too much in extra innings, but we had the right guys up there,” Avila said. “You have to be disciplined enough to wait for a pitch down the middle before you try to make something happen.” Lucas Harrell relieved, Ian Kinsler lined out and third baseman Josh Donaldson fielded Nicholas Castellanos’ grounder down the line and then bobbled the ball while pulling it out of

his glove for an error that put runners at the corners. Upton walked on a 3-1 pitch, loading the bases, and Harrell fell behind Cabrera 3-1. The two-time AL MVP took a called strike, fouled off a pitch, then took a fastball outside for ball four, giving Detroit two victor-

ies in three games following the All-Star break. Toronto wasted leads of 3-0 and 5-4. “The game was there for the taking, but we didn’t play good enough ball,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “We got the lead early and gave it right

back.” Warwick Saupold (2-1) got the win with a scoreless 11th. Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez allowed five runs and nine hits in six innings, including home runs by Justin Smoak, Kendrys Morales and Jose Bautista. Smoak hit a two-run homer in

the first and Morales connected two pitches later for a 3-0 lead. “I had some very bad pitch sequences to great hitters,” Sanchez said. “I felt good, but I can’t do that against guys with that much power.” Upton’s RBI double and sacrifice flies by Cabrera and J.D. Martinez tied the score in the bottom half against Marco Estrada, who gave up four runs, five hits and four walks in 3 2/3 innings. “The last time I pitched was 12 or 13 days ago, so I guess this was to be expected,” Estrada said. “Other than Upton’s double in the first, I don’t think they hit much hard, but things didn’t go my way.” Consecutive doubles by Alex Presley and James McCann put the Tigers ahead 4-3 in the fourth, the first dropping between Kevin Pillar in centre and Bautista in right, the latter glancing off the tip of Ezequiel Carrera’s glove at the left-field fence. Bautista’s two-run homer put Toronto ahead 5-4 in the fifth, but Martinez tied the score when he homered on Danny Barnes’ first pitch of the eighth. A video review upheld the call that ball cleared the fence and bounced back to the field after it hit a railing.

Double winners

JASON MALLOY/THE GUARDIAN

Chris MacLauchlan, left, and Tim Yorke, will soon have their names engraved on these plaques after winning the 2017 Cooke Insurance Amateur Golf Championship Sunday in Stanhope.

MacLauchlan, Yorke claimed two titles during amateur championship at Stanhope BY JASON MALLOY THE GUARDIAN STANHOPE

Chris MacLauchlan recovered after slicing her tee shot to win the Cooke Insurance women’s amateur golf championship on the first playoff hole Sunday at Stanhope Golf Course. She didn’t let the first shot rattle her. She shrugged it off and went to work. “I pushed my tee ball but I still wasn’t panicking because I’ve played this course so often,” said MacLauchlan, a member of the north shore course for more than 40 years. “Maybe that’s experience, maybe its just state of mind.” She hit her second shot from the ninth hole back to the trees, her third shot through the trees and her fourth left her with, what she described as, a reasonable putt for par. “I felt confident I could make the putt from there and I gave myself a chance, so that’s all one can hope for at that point,” MacLauchlan said.

And the winners are… A look at the winners from the Cooke Insurance Amateur Golf Championship at the Stanhope Golf Course. Women’s Amateur Chris MacLauchlan 79 81 78 238 Senior Chris MacLauchlan 79 81 78 238 Super senior Lorraine MacDonald 97 94 98 289 Men Amateur Tim Yorke 68 75 72 215 Mid-amateur Tim Yorke 68 75 72 215 Senior Malcolm Reid 75 73 76 224 Super senior Mel Bernard 76 77 78 231

MacLauchlan sunk the putt and won the three-round championship when Fiona Thompson missed her putt for par. “This is huge for me,” said MacLauchlan, who acknowledged the importance of the support from members of her home course throughout the competition.

“This is my backyard,” she said, noting she grew up nearby. “This is home.” MacLauchlan fired a 4-over 78 on Sunday after opening rounds of 79 and 81, respectively, for a three-round score of 16-over 238. It not only won her the amateur women’s title, but also the senior championship.

It was her second amateur title. She won her first at Stanhope in 2006. Sunday also saw a double winner on the men’s side, as Tim Yorke repeated as both the men’s amateur and midamateur champ. Yorke won the amateur for a fifth time with a 1-under 215, one shot better than local favourite Jeremy Stevenson. He opened with a 4-under 68, followed by 75 and 72 to finish the tournament. “Three different days,” Yorke said. “The first day really (is) as good as I can play golf. The second day was ‘Wow, what happened.’ Today was more of a grind with two really good players” in Martin O’Brien and Jason Campbell. While Yorke had a tough finish to his first round, he was sharp at the end on Sunday, including birdies on 16 and 17. He hit a big bunker shot on No. 16, had a good shot on 17 to allow for a two putt and almost birdied 18 with a long putt. He finished the front nine with birdies on 8 and 9. He needed

every one of them to fend off Stevenson, who was looking to win on his home course. “He’s going to win his share, no question,” Yorke said, calling him a top-quality golfer and person. “We are fortunate. We have so many nice young people to play with right now.” The Kensington native and a member at the P.E.I. Ocean View Resort and Golf Club in Summerside got off to a slow start to the season. Yorke confirmed after the third round Sunday he has been dealing with a bit of a medical issue. “Luckily, I have a good doctor that fixed me up on Tuesday,” he said. “It’s a big plus when you have a doctor that’s on your side.” Yorke suggested Thursday he expected the winning score was going to be in the range of 7- to 12-under. “I didn’t really anticipate the golf course playing as difficult as it was — firm and fast and hard,” he said. “The golf course really was the winner. . . It was in fantastic shape. It beat us up pretty good.”

Q HOCKEY

Experience not required Rookie coaches a growing NHL trend BY STEPHEN WHYNO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rick Tocchet is the kind of coach who doesn’t mind if a player calls him at 9 p.m. to share a thought. He doesn’t expect that to change as he goes from a Pittsburgh Penguins assistant to head coach of the Arizona Coyotes. Tocchet has done it before, and his 148 games as an NHL head coach make the 53-year-old one of the more experienced hires this off-season as teams look for the next new idea rather than recycling from the past. Three vacancies were filled by first-timers: the Buffalo Sabres’ Phil Housley, Florida Panthers’ Bob Boughner and Vancouver Canucks’ Travis Green. Tocchet and the Los Angeles Kings’ John Stevens are longtime assistants with some time running a bench, while the Dallas Stars’ Ken Hitchcock and Vegas Golden Knights’ Gerard Gallant represent the only seasoned coaches. Almost every general manager cited communication skills as a major reason for prioritizing youth over experience. “It’s clear for me: (Tocchet is) one of the best communicators I’ve come across, not only in hockey but probably professionally as well,” Coyotes GM John Chayka said. “He can just relate to the players. He’s very firm. He can motivate. He can be aggressive in his approach, but he can also

be that big brother kind of approach.” Tocchet, Housley, Boughner, Green, Stevens and Gallant all played in the NHL in the 1990s and represent the new-school concept of a players’ coach, mixing positive relationships with accountability. Likable Jon Cooper took the

Tampa Bay Lightning to the 2015 Stanley Cup Final in his first go-’round, while other experiments like Dallas Eakins, Claude Noel, Ron Rolston and Mike Johnston didn’t go so well. More time is needed to determine the success of some, like the Philadelphia Flyers’ Dave Hakstol, New Jersey Dev-

ils’ John Hynes and Colorado Avalanche’s Jared Bednar, but teams are more willing than ever to take a risk on coaching rookies. Ten of the 31 coaches are in their first head jobs in the NHL as some prominent experienced coaches like Lindy Ruff, Jacques Martin, Jack Capuano and Marc

Crawford have accepted roles as assistants. Florida GM Dale Tallon went through an “exhaustive, extensive search” before Boughner’s interview blew him away, and Chayka talked to more than 25 coaches before calling Tocchet the best candidate by a wide margin. Kings GM Rob Blake said “there was literally no search” as Stevens was the natural fit to succeed Darryl Sutter, and the Canucks didn’t interview anyone but Green, who coached their top minor league affiliate for the past four seasons. Buffalo GM Jason Botterill said Housley was “uniquely qualified” for the job based on his playing and coaching careers. Hockey experience on the ice and at other levels may be just as valuable to executives picking coaches. “I’ve been a player, I’ve been an owner, I’ve been an executive, “I’ve been a head coach, an assistant coach,” Boughner said with a significant nod to his time in junior hockey. “I know this league and I know the game and I’m ready for this challenge.” One of the biggest challenges in the transition from assistant to head coach is the different dynamic with players. Panthers captain Derek MacKenzie had Boughner as an assistant in Columbus and considered him approachable but someone who knew when to “put his foot down.”

Show of strength

Four P.E.I. drivers post top-10 finishes In IWK 250 at Riverside International Speedway ANTIGONISH, N.S.

DESIREE ANSTEY/ JOURNAL PIONEER

Shelley Lilly, from Summerside, feels the strain as she raises a 100-pound log over her head in the P.E.I. strong woman event in Summerside on Saturday afternoon.

Five women compete to be named P.E.I. Strong Woman BY DESIREE ANSTEY JOURNAL PIONEER SUMMERSIDE

Among the excited screams from the Midway rides were the enthusiastic cheers for the P.E.I. strong woman contest. The true grit event, that featured five women challenge their bodies by lifting the heaviest obstacle in a sequence, was held in front of a large audience at the Credit Union Place parking lot under a clear, sunny Saturday afternoon. Shelley Lilly, organizer and participant from Summerside, says women are increasingly realizing they have greater physical strength than what they previously may have imagined. “Anyone can do it, even women, and sometimes you need to just remember that you are stronger than what you think you are. This is not just a

man’s sport. Sometimes women are afraid they can’t lift heavy weights, but what’s the worst that can happen? If it doesn’t go up at least you tried,” encouraged Lilly. Overall winner Samantha Belliveau of Moncton, N.B., was the overall winner while Lilly finished second. Birgit Eissner of Wolfville, N.S., came third. Jennifer Pizio-Perry of Greenmount was the fourthplace finisher while Barb Watson of Alberton also competed. Contestants started strong carrying 108 pounds in each hand in the “Farmers Walk” for over 60 seconds or 100 feet. After passing the first sequence, six lobster traps that each weighed 60 pounds were carried as quickly as possible from one side to the other over a span of 25 feet. “Last year I entered a powerlifting competition in Alberton

after hearing about it from a girl in my gym, and I just went to Amherst in Nova Scotia and competed, and now I’m doing this event,” grinned Lilly, who had just completed a press medley of lifting 40 pound dumbbells, raising a 55-pound keg full of water, 75-pound small keg full of sand, and a 100pound log over her head. “Normally the P.E.I. strong woman contest is held in Alberton at the end of the month, but they were only holding the men’s event, so I decided to put one on during the Lobster Carnival for the women,” explained Lilly. “And we’re having a good time so far.” The event wrapped-up with contestants pulling a 150pound sled, and tossing sandbags weighing 30 pounds over a distance of 50 feet.

Four Prince Edward Island drivers posted top-10 finishes in the IWK 250 on Saturday night. Dylan Gosbee of Cornwall was fifth; Kent Vincent of Crapaud was sixth; Jonathan Hicken of Brudenell was eighth, and Greg Proude of Springvale was 10th. Dylan Blenkhorn of Truro, N.S., made a life-long dream a reality by winning the John W. Chisholm Memorial Cup at Riverside International Speedway. Cole Butcher of Porter’s Lake, N.S., was second, third spot was claimed by Craig Slaunwhite of Terence Bay, N.S., and Shawn Turple of Enfield, N.S., came fourth. Other P.E.I. drivers in the race were Robbie MacEwen of Charlottetown (15th), Darren MacKinnon of Charlottetown (20th) and Terry Dougay of Albany (27th). Competition got underway with five Atlantic Tiltload heat races for the 38 competitors vying to make the 30-car field. Jason Hathaway (Uxbridge, Ont.), Shawn Turple (Enfield, N.S.), Dave O’Blenis (Boundary Creek, N.B.), Kyle Reid (Fort MacMurray, Alta.) and George Koszkulics (New Glasgow, N.S.) won the heat races. Jarrett Butcher of Porter’s Lake, N.S., won the Atlantic Tiltload B feature.

Twenty cars qualified for the prestigious event via heat races. Cars who did not qualify through their heat then competed in a 25-lap last-chance race, with the top two securing their positions on the starting grid. The remaining eight positions were determined by provisionals as set in the event procedures. Receiving a provisional to make the elite starting field were Vincent, MacKinnon, Nicholas Naugle (Dartmouth, N.S.), Stephen Lively (Shubenacadie, N.S.), Greg Fahey (St. Stephen, N.B.), Gary Elliott (Dundas, Ont.), Josh Collins (Placentia, N.L.) and John Flemming (Halifax, N.S.). NASCAR legend Mark Martin had a rough start to the day after hitting the wall hard during afternoon practice, and doing significant damage to the car. The 17 crew battled and were able to get the Cat Car for Kids into the starting grid, but their issues continued into the evening. Martin pitted on Lap 57, but was unable to return to the race due to extensive mechanical issues.

McGregors lead Islanders to split The P.E.I. Junior Islanders erupted for eight runs in the fifth inning to put away the Metro Mudcats 13-3 in a game shortened to six innings due to mercy rule. The win gave P.E.I. a split of the New Brunswick Junior Baseball League doubleheader and improved its record to 15-7. The Islanders big inning was keyed by a bases loaded triple from Connor McGregor and a two-run double by brother Curtis McGregor, who had three hits. Connor McGregor had two

hits while Ryne MacIsaac and Riley Gallant both went 1-for-2 with three runs scored. On the mound, winning pitcher Jayden MacLean and Connor Jones combined to allow only three hits and struck out four. Jeremie Arsenault and two relievers gave up nine hits and 10 walks for Metro. Nick Leblanc had a two-run single for the Mudcats. In Game 1, Mudcats starter Nate Ronan and Isles starter Porter Smith hooked up in a pitchers duel.

Jesse Malone’s RBI double plated the games only run in bottom sixth in Metros 1-0 win. Blake Flinn stranded the tying run on third in seventh to earn the save. Smith surrendered five hits and struck out five. Declan Buckle had two hits for Metro while MacIsaac, Curtis McGregor, Logan MacDougall and Chasse Gallant each had hits. P.E.I. wraps up regular season play Saturday with a doubleheader in Fredericton, N.B.

Newgarden wins second Honda Indy Toronto BY RYAN MCKENNA THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO

James Hinchcliffe is the face of the Honda Indy Toronto, so beating the hometown favourite at his race is that much sweeter for Josef Newgarden. Newgarden captured his second title on the streets surrounding Exhibition Place on Sunday, finishing ahead of Hinchcliffe, who came third for a second straight year. “I love beating Hinch in Canada,” Newgarden joked. “I love Hinch, he’s a great representative, but this is so good.” Newgarden, who also won here in 2015, came out in front on Lap 25 after a crash by Tony Kanaan caused a caution. Kanaan had his brakes lock up while leaving the pits and connected with the protective tires in Turn 1. Newgarden says that he’ll always take a bit of good fortune. “We were up there but I’ll always take a bit of luck, I think we all would,” he said. “The days that it goes your way and you end up lucky, you just take ‘em. “I’ll take a lucky yellow any day of the week.” It’s the fifth career win for Newgarden and his second victory this season after finishing

first in the Grand Prix of Alabama in April. Alexander Rossi finished second, ahead of Hinchcliffe. The driver from Oakville, Ont., earned his first podium finish in Toronto last year. “We’ve had lots of luck when we’ve come here before, it’s always just been bad luck,” Hinchcliffe said. “I was almost hoping that the race was 10 laps longer, it might have made things a bit more interesting there at the end.” Thundershowers were a threat throughout the race but held off. The day started out sunny and humid but clouded over during the event and it rained lightly at a few different times during the race. Fans still packed the grandstands regardless of the potential inclement weather and stood along the fence to catch a glimpse as the cars whizzed by. Newgarden says that the weather threat and possibility of having to switch to a different set of tires was an added stress. “I was concerned about that (rain) and how it would throw a wrench into the works,” Newgarden said. “If it starts raining when I’m on the wrong end of the track then that wouldn’t be very good.”

Marco Andretti, whose father, Michael, won seven times on this track, was fourth while polesitter Simon Pagenaud was fifth after battling with Ryan HunterReay. A caution came out on the first lap when defending-champion Will Power was hit on the right side of his car in Turn 3 by overall leader Scott Dixon. The steering on Power’s car was broken, meaning he had to be pushed into pit lane. He didn’t finish the race. Dixon was assessed a drivethrough penalty for entering a closed pit lane. He was able to get back into the race on Lap 60, moving into fourth spot but finished 10th. Newgarden jumped into fourth in the driver standings by picking up 53 points with his victory. Dixon still maintains the Verizon IndyCar Series lead with 423 points, but has just a three point edge on Team Penske’s Helio Castroneves. Although the rain played a factor into how Newgarden and his Penske crew strategized for the race, he says this victory feels a little bit easier than his last one in Toronto. “The more you do it, the more you drive the cars, the easier it all becomes,” he said.

Switzerland’s Roger Federer celebrates with the trophy after beating Croatia’s Marin Cilic in the Men’s Singles final match on day thirteen at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London Sunday.

Federer downs Cilic to capture eighth Wimbledon men’s championship BY HOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON

Roger Federer’s wait for an eighth title at Wimbledon is over. Federer earned his eighth championship at the All England Club and 19th major trophy overall. He capped a marvellous fortnight in which he never dropped a set by overwhelming Croatian Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 on Sunday in a lopsided final that was more coronation than contest. When it ended, with an ace from Federer after merely one hour 41 minutes, he raised both arms overhead. A minute or so later, he was sitting on the sideline, wiping tears from his eyes. Truly, the outcome was only in doubt for about 20 minutes, the amount of time it took Federer to grab his first lead. Cilic, whose left foot was treated by a trainer in the late going, was never able to summon the intimidating serves or crisp volleys that carried him to his lone Grand Slam title at the 2014 U.S. Open, where he surprisingly beat Federer in straight sets in the semifinals. This one was all Federer, who last won Wimbledon in 2012. That seventh championship pulled Federer even with Pete Sampras and William Renshaw in what’s still officially called Gentlemen’s Singles. Sampras won all but one of his in the 1990s; Renshaw won each of his in the 1880s, back in the days when the previous year’s cham-

pion advanced automatically to the final and therefore was able to successfully defend a title with one victory. Federer had come close to bettering his predecessors but couldn’t quite do it. He lost in the 2014 and 2015 Wimbledon finals to Novak Djokovic, and in the semifinals last year after erasing match points to get past Cilic in a five-set quarter-final. With clouds overhead and a bit of chill in the air, the very first game offered a glimpse at Cilic’s apparent plan: go after Federer’s backhand. All five points won by Cilic in that opening stanza came via mistakes by Federer on that stroke. Conversely, all three points won by Federer in that game were thanks to forehand miscues by Cilic. Understandably, there were signs of nerves for both. Federer’s early play, in general, was symptomatic of jitters. For everything he’s accomplished, for all of the bright lights and big settings to which he’s become accustomed, the guy many have called the “GOAT” - Greatest of All Time admits to feeling heavy legs and jumbled thoughts at important on-court moments to this day. And so it was that Federer, not Cilic, hit a double-fault in each of his first two service games. And it was Federer, not Cilic, who faced the match’s initial break point, 15 minutes in, trailing 2-1 and 30-40. But Cilic netted a return there, beginning a run of 17 points in a row won by Federer on his serve.

Q ADVICE

Financial divides are not uncommon after divorce FEEDBACK Regarding the affluent grandfather whose wish to spend $5,000 annually for six years on his two young grandchildren, upsets his common-law spouse (June 22): Reader #1: “This is NOT his girlfriend’s business. “She should appreciate his kind and generous character. She’s lucky to have a man who promises her a life of security. “She’s selfish and petty. “No, I’m not a man but an attractive, high-earning professional woman who feels contempt for women who make money grabs instead of taking care of themselves.� Reader #2: “Never does he express that he isn’t considering his partner and their future.

He’s saying his retirement value is at $1.6 million and hers will add $500,000. With financial advice, he feels that THEY will be okay in the future.� Reader #3: “A financially responsible grandfather wanting to spoil his grandchildren shouldn’t be a problem.� Reader #4: “His two kids (27 and 30) are on their own; her two kids (20 and 23) still live with them. If they’re not paying market rent, utilities, and their

share of groceries, her children are receiving well more than $5000 per year.â€? Reader #5: “It’s his money, they’ve only been together for eight years, it’s his right to spend on his grandkids.â€? Reader #6: “His girlfriend’s position will divide her stepchildren/grandchildren from herself and her children. “The couple both bring independent wealth to their union. Perhaps separate accounts could be the solution, but my feeling is that she wants it all.â€? Reader #7: “This wonderful grandfather is enjoying his money and spending $5000 a year on lessons and experiences for his grandchildren. It’s his right and pleasure.â€?

Reader #8: “His common-law partner is jealous and greedy. The fact that he’s close with his grown children is wonderful and she should appreciate it.â€? Reader #9: “My money is just that — and I wouldn’t let or like someone to tell me what to do. I’m female, retired, and have the means to do the same as this man. All women should take financial responsibility and do their best to be self-reliant.â€? Ellie: Some interesting facts about the above responses: ALL were written by women who disagreed with the spouse’s position. No men sent comments on this issue. Though the grandfather considers the woman his common-law “wife,â€? several

women dismissed her as his “girlfriend.� Also, though she works and will receive a decent retirement pension, she’s considered by some women to be making a “money grab.� I was also castigated for “siding with her� (I don’t mind, as I believe readers’ opinions add to the general topic debate). Yet what I suggested was that there may be deeper relationship reasons for her need to feel they’re making long-term decisions together. It’s a common insecurity underlying couples’ fights, not only about money. In fact, I was clear that they could well afford his generosity.

way home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are all smiles, no matter what you decide to do. You have a friend who serves as a muse for you. At times, you might feel as though this person seems otherworldly. Inspiration flows from your very active imagination right now. Tonight: Have dinner with some close pals. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might feel a little off. You have been running on high lately, and suddenly boredom with your routine sets in. You generally know how to liven up a situation like this, but you could find it difficult right now. Allow yourself the space to do what you want. Tonight: Early to bed. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Note how you feel much more open when in the company of friends. Zero in on what you want. You could feel as if you have no choice but to pursue a particular goal. Listen to your instincts, and you will make the correct deci-

sion. Tonight: Find an excuse to celebrate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) When a plan backfires, you’ll be called upon to use your imagination. You need to find a way to break past self-imposed limitations. The instinct to conform might arise, but the solution to finding your own way lies in your dynamic thinking. Tonight: Head to the gym first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Many people could be acting out. If you can manage to avoid being triggered, you’ll be amazed by what happens. Don’t handle any money negotiations today, as the results probably won’t be to your liking. Add more humor to your interactions. Tonight: Act as if it is Friday. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) What seems like an opportune time to have an important one-on-one discussion with a loved one actually might prove to be otherwise. Take your time, see how the

other party feels and then decide whether to act. Tension electrifies the moment. Tonight: Join a friend for dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be strong-willed, but you aren’t dumb -- you know when to defer to others. Bumps in the road seem inevitable today. Minimize any obstacles that result from not-well-thought-out plans. You will know when to charge right in. Tonight: Accept an offer graciously. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Emotions intensify. Caring feelings might be overshadowed by insecurity or unrealistic expectations. You easily could be hurt by what seems like an innocent comment. The more you refuse to act on these feelings, the better off you will be. Tonight: Focus on one task at a time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others attempting to walk in your shoes might be left speechless. Given a moment or two, you’ll come up with some suggestions.

Your creativity surges to unprecedented levels. Those around you might want to tap into your ingenuity. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you feel inclined to stay home, do. Whether you realize it or not, you are likely to flourish in this situation. You might feel off-kilter and wonder what would be best for you to do. Don’t allow yourself to be triggered by an insignificant comment. Tonight: Make it an easy night.
