BRING THE FAMILY SAVE TIME AND MONEY! 18 minutes Downtown Nanaimo – Downtown Vancouver + Kids Fly Free

DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS

Adeveloper has rejected the City of Nanaimo’s counter-offer need-ed for a 21-storey,

$50-million hotel to be built beside the downtown Vancouver Island Conference Centre and the project is now dead.

On Friday the city released a copy of a Thursday letter from SSS Manhao’s lawyer, Perry Ehrlich, stating that it would not accept conditions attached to a six-month extension on a deadline to start work on theluxury hotel.

Ehrlich’s letter said Manhao “look(s) forward to confirma-tion” the city will buy back the Gordon Street property.

Two years ago SSS Manhao bought land at the foot of Piper Park from the city for $565,000.

After missing several deadlines, council wanted the company to contribute $100,000 for improve-ments to Piper Park, and give up the right of first negotiation to manage the Vancouver Island Conference Centre.

“I’m extremely disappointed,” said Mayor Bill McKay.

He blamed the “extremely hostile treatment we displayed toward them,” a reference to recent council meetings where the developer was “insulted and embarrassed” by council.

Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce CEO Kim Smythe said the decision is a big loss.

“Losing this hotel project means a significant loss in local investment and job creation. One cannot imagine the void created by their leaving will be filled easily, if at all,” stated Smythe in an email. “Council’s positive productivity seems to be at an all-time low and it is difficult to find optimism in this outcome for other matters before council.”

In December the developer missed a deadline to start work on the hotel. The project was intended to draw thousands of Chinese tourists, conference centre delegates and business travellers.

But SSS Manhao then missed a May 30 construction deadline, which allowed the city to reverse the land sale.

At a June council meeting, councillors Jerry Hong, Bill Best-wick, Jim Kipp, Bill Yoachim and Gord Fuller voted 5-4 against a one-year extension on buying back the property for the origin-al $565,000 price.

Instead, Hong’s compromise motion for a six-month extension that passed was turned down by the developer in a letter dated Thursday.

That lack of council support left the developer convinced that “viability of the hotel develop-ment is at risk,” the lawyer wrote.

“They’re kind of blaming us for it,” Fuller said. “I would really have to wonder if it’s not the economy of China that’s caused them to have second thoughts about building a hotel here. This just gives them an excuse to save face.”

Coun. Wendy Pratt, who sup-ported the one-year extension, said she’s “sorely disappointed,” with the news.

“I just feel it’s a huge missed opportunity.”

Sasha Angus, Nanaimo Eco-nomic Development Corp. CEO, had travelled to China to help shepherd the hotel project forward.

“Obviously, we’re regrettably disappointed,” Angus said.

“Discussion we’re going to need to start having is, is there a Plan B, and what will it look like?

“We’ve got a number of other projects and I think we have to ensure as a community we’re welcoming as a community – we’ve got the Hilton, the fast ferries.

“It’s important to put our best foot forward and make sure we’re a welcoming place.”

ROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Drought conditions in the region could lead to Nanaimo having to cancel plans for a huge waterslide that is scheduled to be set up downtown.

Utah-based company Slide the City is planning to bring a 300-metre vinyl waterslide to Nanaimo for one day in late August, with the exact date to be confirmed, as part of a tour of B.C. cities.

The slide would be located on Victoria Road, starting at Finlay-son Street at the top of a steep slope, and ending at the Esplan-ade Street intersection.

Approximately 80,000 gallons of water would be needed for the event.

But the ongoing dry spell on Vancouver Island, which has left Nanaimo currently with Level 2 water restrictions, might mean city council could have to reconsider having the slide set up here if the conditions continue.

Tom Hickey, the city’s general manager of community services, said staff will present council with an update on plans for the slide at Monday’s council meeting.

“We had no idea when this idea was first proposed in May that these dry conditions would be as severe as they are,” Hickey said.

“We don’t know how long it will continue, but if it goes on into August and the time the slide is scheduled to come here, it will ultimately be up to council to decide if it should go ahead.”

Mayor Bill McKay said council members will be closely monitor-ing Slide the City’s visit to Kam-loops on July 18.

He said the company is employing a water recycling sys-tem in Kamloops that is suppos-ed to reduce the water use by up to 80 per cent.

McKay acknowledged there are health concerns and the city will be interested in how that event unfolds.

POLICE REPORT: UNSOLVED CRIMESSubmitted by Nanaimo RCMP

Support staff at VIU sign off on contractROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS

Support workers at Vancouver Island University have signed a new collective agreement to be in place until June 30, 2019.

But negotiations are still ongoing in contract talks between the university and the Vancouver Island University Faculty Association, which represents instructional and non-instructional faculty at the post-secondary facility.

The five-year agreement between VIU and CUPE 1858, which represents approximately 400 employees who provide sup-port services to VIU students, faculty and administration, includes wage increases totalling 5.5 per cent.

Deborah Hopper, president of CUPE Local 1858, said she’s “pleased” with the contract, but wished it provided more.

“The 5.5 per cent increase is nowhere near meeting the increases in the cost of living, and I’m skeptical as to whether the economic stability dividend will ever see the light of day,” Hopper said. “But there were improvements in the contract language and we’re pleased with what we ended up with.”

Johnny Blakeborough, secre-tary treasurer of the VIU Faculty Association, said contract nego-tiations with VIU will likely con-tinue through the summer.

He said that, at this stage, the university has not put forward an offer for the faculty to vote on.

“It’s not uncommon for negoti-ations to go on long after a con-tract has expired, and the faculty will continue working under the conditions of the old collective agreement until a new one is signed,” Blakeborough said.

“There’s not much worry right now among the faculty because a lot of fruitful discussions are going on at the table.”

VIU’s faculty have been with-out a contract since last year.

The faculty association went on strike for approximately one month in the spring of 2011 over job security and other issues.


CITY LOGNews and notes from around Nanaimo

Harewood park improvements create largest city playground

The City of Nanaimo marked improve-ments to Harewood Centennial Park — particularly to the

revamped and expanded play-ground — with a celebration on site Friday.

The park now boasts the largest playground in the city.

Upgrades for the 6.4-hectare park were approved by city coun-cil in 2012.

Water regulations The city is reminding residents

to be wary of different water restrictions across different jurisdictions.

A release from city hall warns of confusion over a multitude of different announcements over the past couple of weeks on water restrictions.

City communications manager Philip Cooper says two recent media reports — not from this newspaper — have inaccurate-ly declared Nanaimo watering restrictions to be Level 4.

While the province has declared Level 4 drought conditions, this is not the same as watering restrictions, which are set indi-vidually by each regional district or municipality.

In fact, Nanaimo watering restrictions remain at Level 2, which allows residents to water their lawns and gardens twice a week.

Other jurisdictions, like the Regional District of Nanaimo and the City of Parksville, have moved to their own, separate Level 4 watering restrictions.

However, Nanaimo water man-ager Bill Sims said residents are being asked to voluntarily let their lawns go brown to conserve the city’s water supply.

Residents with questions on watering are encouraged to go to the City of Nanaimo website or social media pages.

Name ‘Water Champions’ Meanwhile, the city is also

asking residents to nominate a neighbour who is a ‘champion’ at water conservation.

The city’s Team WaterSmart is accepting nominations

between July 13 and Aug. 31 from residents who think their neighbour is doing a good job at savouring the H2O by letting the lawn go golden, reusing water, or planting water-sipping plants.

A prize and a winner will be chosen each week.

The same contest is being held within the Regional District of Nanaimo.

Nominations of 100 words or less can be sent to [email protected] explaining how a neighbour is being Water Smart. Photos of examples of the neigh-

bour’s efforts are encouraged by the city.

RDN, Parksville, Lantzville and Qualicum Beach residents can send their nominations to [email protected].

Dams issue at councilMonday’s committee of the

whole meeting will see the Colliery dams project return to council for a decision on a construction method to bring the dams up to provincial safety standards. The city is facing a

provincial deadline to complete the work this year, but some members of council and the community are opposed to the current proposals. Expect this to be a contentious debate.

Nanaimo RCMP Supt. Mark Fisher is also slated to make a presentation to council on his upcoming budget and staffing priorities, ahead of the 2015-16 budget process.

All eyes will be on Bank of Canada Governor Ste-phen Poloz next Wednesday.

Six months ago, the central bank surprised economists by dropping its benchmark rate a quarter point, to 0.75 per cent.

The move was meant to help cushion a Canadian economy hit hard by a steep fall in oil prices, Mr. Poloz explained in January.

The negative impact in the oil sector — on jobs, investment and export income — was so signifi-cant, he said, that the central bank foresaw first half GDP growth of just 1.5 per cent.

Six months later, that forecast, unfortunately, seems unrealistic-ally rosy.

Canada’s economy contracted by 0.6 per cent in the first quar-ter, then by a further 0.1 per cent in April.

Economists say the numbers for May, when the country posted a near-record $3.34 billion trade deficit, and June, are likely to be similarly dismal to what we have been seeing.

Many predict Statistics Canada will report a second full quarter of GDP contraction when they report in September.

Two consecutive quarters of economic contraction are the definition of a recession.

Oil prices, which had recovered somewhat, have dipped sharply again. China’s flagging economy means a drop in demand. A pos-sible Greek exit from the euro has markets frightened. At the same time, U.S. oil production is projected to rise this year and next, while a potential inter-national deal with Iran, which has huge oil reserves, could remove sanctions from that country and so increase supplies even further.

Worryingly, despite a weaker loonie due to both lower oil

prices and the Bank of Canada rate cut in January, manufac-turing exports have not yet responded as hoped. May’s ter-rible trade figures included a deficit in non-energy exports.

All of which leads to increas-ing speculation that Mr. Poloz may decide the country’s poor economic condition requires another jolt from the central bank in the form of another quarter point rate cut.

Meanwhile, federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver has resisted using the R-word — recession — while insisting the country needs to stay the course with the Conservative government’s already enacted tax cuts and infrastructure spending, includ-ing the need to keep the budget balanced.

Heavily influencing the situ-ation, of course, is the looming October election.

The Conservatives trail the NDP in the polls.

If September’s GDP figures confirm that Canada was in recession the first half of 2015, however, the Tories may need to delay balancing the budget and join forces with Mr. Poloz to further stimulate a weakened economy.

Canada’s long-term fiscal fore-cast is strong, but short-term pump-priming may be required.

Recession in Canada may be in the offi ng

Leadership can still save Morden Mine site

The Friends of the Morden Mine society recently announced that it would be winding up

its operations. As part of that process we decided to put on one last Black Track Tour, a popular fundraiser for us that’s been held two or three times per year for the past 10 years.

The response was overwhelm-ing and a second tour has been scheduled for Sunday to deal with the overflow.

Together with other expres-sions of support during the past few weeks, including letters, a column and a strongly positive opinion poll, it’s clear that the people of this area want Morden Mine saved. The heads of several heritage organizations, every municipal leader in our local area, and all three local MLAs

wrote letters of support for Morden that were presented to then Environment Minister Terry Lake in 2012.

Over the years many editorials, columns and letters in support of Morden have appeared in a number of publications and back in 2010 the communities of Cedar and South Wellington over-whelmingly supported a plan to rehabilitate Morden and further develop the 10-acre park site.

Despite this evidence of sup-port, at this point only local gov-ernment can make a difference.

It can do so by pressuring the provincial government to abide by its statutory obligation to maintain what is a Class A prov-incial park and it can help the province, even though it is under no legal obligation to do so, by offering to share part of the remediation cost.

The RDN recently announced a surplus of about $6 million; the city has reserves it could draw upon.

Money is available if the polit-ical will can be found to invest in Morden.

And why should that happen? The English coal mining herit-age scholar Dr. Margaret Faull has determined that the 112-year-old Morden tipple was the third ever constructed of reinforced concrete and is now the second oldest such tipple sur-viving anywhere in the world.

On a world stage, it is a rare industrial heritage site, already sought out by cruise ship visitors and official delegations from countries as diverse as Holland and Mongolia.

If repaired and with the park site further developed, Morden could become a major Vancouver Island tourist attraction.

But equally if not more import-ant is its historical significance to us.

With perhaps the exception of the Bastion, the Morden tipple is arguably the most important surviving symbol of the Nanaimo area’s past, a past in which thousands of miners of many nationalities toiled in an a high-risk, low-paying industry that took a devastating toll.

The miners and their families built Vancouver Island’s econ-omy and established several communities in the process — including Nanaimo. They deserve to be remembered and Morden was designated as a provincial park partly with that purpose in mind.

In very similar circumstances, the much smaller Cowichan Valley Regional District got the needed repair job done for the provincially-owned but neglected Kinsol Trestle — and at a cost more than double that estimated for Morden’s repairs. Surely our local leaders can aspire to, as well as match, that standard.

It’s time for Mayor Bill McKay and Regional District of Nanaimo chairman Joe Stanhopeto provide the leadership needed to ensure that the last remaining important visible evidence of the historic Vancouver Island coal mining industry is preserved for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

Credit Union assists Red CrossCoastal Community Credit Union raises $7,959 for earthquake aid in Nepal

Coastal Community Credit Union members, clients and employees all pitched in to support

the Canadian Red Cross’s relief efforts in earthquake-ravaged Nepal.

When the massive earthquake hit the country in late April, the Canadian Red Cross immediately set out to provide assistance.

Coastal Community created a Red Cross relief account to receive Islanders’ donations in support of their efforts

A total of $6,264 was initially raised and donated in time to qualify for the Government of Canada’s matching program, raising $12,588 for relief efforts.

The donations kept coming in, even after the matching program ended. The final donation total came in at $7,959.

“Our members, clients and employees often look to us as a place where they can donate funds knowing it will be deliv-ered to where it is needed most,” said Allyson Prescesky, spokes-woman for the credit union.

“We’re pleased we can play a small role in helping.”

Coastal Community Credit Union thanks everyone who

contributed on behalf of the Red Cross.

“We’re always impressed with the extent to which Islanders rally to support those affected by devastating situations, and this is no exception,” Prescesky said.

SPCA holds ‘Pet Pantry’Leon Davis, Manager of The

Nanaimo BCSPCA is thrilled that Island Veterinary Hospital is hosting a “Pet Pantry” on August 6th at the SPCA shelter. Low income pet owners can visit the SPCA with ID and evidence of low income status prior to Aug 1 to pick up a voucher, then

return Aug. 6 to receive a free bag of pet food.

Pet Pantry is a program started by Associate Veterinary Clinics to help low income pet owners provide high quality pet food to their beloved pets.

“This type of community involvement from businesses is what drives our city as a leader in social animal welfare” says Davis.

“People shouldn’t have to make the decision between feeding themselves, or feeding their pets. Events like this, along with our partnership supplying The Salvation Army with pet food donations, are critical resources

for those in need in the Nanaimo community.”

Berwick residents helpResidents at Berwick on the

Lake gave $2,500 to a number of local organizations.

Berwick on the Lake Resident Council volunteers organize weekly fundraisers that support specially selected Nanaimo charities.

As a result of residents’ gen-erosity five gifts of $500 each were presented to Haven Society, Loaves and Fishes, Nanaimo Community Hospice, Nanaimo & District Hospital Foundation, and the Salvation Army.

This is the second donation presentation by Berwick on the Lake Residents since January, for a total of $5,000 this year alone.

Rotary aids Coast Guard Royal Canadian Marine Search

and Rescue Station 27 - Nanaimo received a $7,000 donation from the Lanztville Rotary earlier this week. It will be used to replace outdated gear and protective equipment.

The equipment is vital to search and rescue operations and “wouldn’t be possible to keep in service without gen-erous donations from groups like the Rotary,” said Christina Sharun, RCMSAR Station 27 spokeswoman.

Popular swimming spot shut down due to E. coliDAILY NEWS

Westwood Lake has been closed for swimming until further notice.

The Vancouver Island Health Authority has informed the City of Nanaimo that the E.Coli count in the lake exceeds the allowable limit. Results from water tests conducted by Island Health were provided to the city Friday afternoon.

A follow-up test at the lake will be made on Monday and people are instructed not to swim in the popular watering hole until it has been deemed safe to do so.

Al Britton, the city’s manager of parks operations, said the rest of Westwood Lake Park is still open for hiking and walking.

“Beach users and swimmers are instructed to use alternative water recreation areas until fur-ther notice,” he said.

Parks, recreation and environ-ment director Richard Harding said the city is placing public safety notices at Westwood Lake warning the public of the situation.

“If people still want to swim there, they do it at their own risk,” he said.

Expensive stolen boat found dumped by thieves

A unique and pricey speed boat stolen from a British Columbia boat dealership has been found, high and dry in an Alberta field.

A spokeswoman with Ban-ner Marine and Recreation in Kelowna says the 2015 Campion Biltmore pontoon boat was found Thursday in a field in the community of Beaver Lodge, just west of Grande Prairie.

Amanda Jefferson says no arrests have been made but the vessel, valued at more than $110,000, was recovered with its trailer and both appear to be in good condition.

On Sunday, a group of well-or-ganized thieves, driving a motor home and two newer model F-350 Ford pickups, hauled the boat off the Kelowna lot after cutting chains on the boat trailer and removing the locked casing around the trailer hitch.

Man shot by police in Port Hardy is identifi ed

The 24-year-old man who was shot and killed by Mounties on northern Vancouver Island has been identified by the coroner’s service.

James Butters, who was also known as James Hayward, died Wednesday morning near the intersection of Highway 19 and Granville Street in Port Hardy.

Police have previously said officers responded to reports of a man threatening security at a wildfire fighting staging area located at a high school, and the suspect was brandishing a knife.

They said police tracked the suspect down, and officers shot him after a confrontation.

The Independent Investigations Office says in a news release that a knife and other pieces of physical evidence were seized at the scene.

Concern for fi sh grows as river waters heat up

The heat wave across British Columbia has pushed temper-atures in some waterways to 19 degrees, just one degree below the point where the Department of Fisheries and Oceans predicts there could be damaging effects on fish.

Area resources director Stu Cartwright says important sal-mon-bearing rivers such as the Fraser, Thompson and Nicola are all affected.

He says juvenile salmon along the Thompson and Fraser sys-tems sometimes spend more than a year in those waters and will be stressed, as will adult fish that begin arriving soon to spawn.

Cartwright says juvenile sal-mon in the Nicola River are also at risk. He says serious problems begin when river water reaches 20 degrees or higher.

Court says doctor didn’t breach colleague privacy

A Vancouver Island doctor who was ordered to pay $60,000 for breaching a colleague’s privacy has won an appeal in British Col-umbia’s highest court.

Dr. Akushla Wijay was one of three Port Alberni doctors sued for defamation by Dr. Magdy Fouad for conduct he alleged was calculated to destroy his reputation.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge found two of the doctors liable for defamation in May 2014, but dismissed the claim against Wijay, instead finding her liable for breaching Fouad’s privacy.

The trial judge ruled Wijay was motivated by malice when she called a hospital worker on April 5, 2010 to check Fouad’s credentials, ordering her to pay $60,000 in general and aggravat-ed damages.

Weather shift may help wildfi re battleGEMMA KARSTENS-SMITH THE CANADIAN PRESS

Showers and cooler weather could be a welcome relief for fire-fighters battling wildfires across British Columbia even as pos-sible winds and lightning may keep crews busy.

Fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said Friday that 200 blazes continue to burn across the province, where 959 fires have started since April.

He said about 2,300 people, including crews from Ontario, are fighting the wildfires and that a crew of about 50 people from Australia is expected to join the effort next week.

Environment Canada is fore-casting lower temperatures and possible rain over the weekend and into next week in Williams Lake, Pemberton and Nelson — all areas where fires have been devouring forests.

About $105 million have been spent on fighting fires so far this season, Skrepnek said.

Smoke has dissipated through-out the province, and air quality advisories for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and parts of Vancouver Island have ended.

“Basically, the air quality is getting better and people can go back to their normal exercise routines,” said provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall.

People with underlying res-piratory issues, or heart and lung problems, should still be cautious in smoky areas such as Comox and Whistler, he said.

Many municipalities around the province have imposed water restrictions during the unseason-

ably hot, dry weather.Vancouver residents could be

fined $250 for watering more than once a week or outside the hours of 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.

On Vancouver Island, Parks-ville and the Regional District of Nanaimo introduced strict watering restrictions this week, prohibiting all lawn watering, vehicle and pressure washing, and the filling of swimming or wading pools.

The move was necessary due to low water reserves during dry conditions and a much low-er-than-normal snow pack, said City of Parksville spokeswoman Debbie Tardiff.

“This is being done so that we

don’t run out of water,” she said.Starting July 20, residents

could be fined $100 for breaking a water restrictions bylaw, but Tardiff said people have taken the new rules well so far.

“I think there’s some pride in letting your lawn go brown,” she said.

Lawn watering has been pro-hibited in Abbotsford, too, and Mayor Henry Braun said a team of “lawn rangers” is enforcing the bylaw.

Braun said they use a comput-er system to monitor residents’ water use and people who appeared not be complying with the rules have been given written warnings.

Bosnia to mark 20 years since 8,000 massacred in SrebrenicaEvent includes a funeral for 136 recently found victims identifi ed through DNAAIDA CERKEZ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SARAJEVO, Bosnia — Foreign dignitaries were starting to arrive in Bosnia on Friday to mark the 20th anniversary of Europe’s worst massacre since the Second World War and attend the funeral of 136 newly found victims.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Jordan’s Queen Noor were among early arrivals, and former U.S. President Bill Clinton was expected later in the day. Foreign Affairs chief Federica Mogherini is planned to represent the European Union at Saturday’s commemorations.

Some 50,000 people are expected to attend ceremonies mourning the 8,000 Muslim men and boys killed in the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica, which had been declared a safe haven for

civilians by the United Nations. The event includes a funeral for 136 recently found victims identi-fied through DNA analysis

On July 11, 1995, Serb troops overran the Muslim enclave. Some 15,000 men tried to flee toward government-held ter-

ritory while others joined the town’s women and children in seeking refuge at the base of the Dutch UN troops who were deployed to protect the town.

But the United Nations did nothing to stop the fall of Sreb-renica and the outnumbered and outgunned Dutch troops could only watch as Serb soldiers separated about 2,000 men from women for killing and later hunted down and killed another 6,000 men in the woods.

The remains of Srebrenica victims are still being found in mass graves. So far, remains of some 7,000 victims have been excavated from 93 graves or col-lected from 314 surface locations and identified through DNA technology.

Remains of more than 6,000 were buried again at the Potocari Memorial Center where Satur-

day’s events will unfold, just across the road from the former UN base.

Bosnian Serbs deny the kill-ings were “genocide” and their leader, Milorad Dodik, called last weekend the number of victims a “lie.”

But Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic will be repre-senting Serbia at the commemor-ation. He said he wanted to bow his head before the victims of the “horrible crime”.

U.S. President Barack Obama issued a statement Friday mourning the loss of the thou-sands of victims.

“We can offer no solace that fully addresses the pain borne by the victims’ families. But we must look back at Srebrenica with clear eyes, commemorate the tragedy, and learn from it,” he said.

Jasper wildfi re forces people from park THE CANADIAN PRESS

A wildfire burning in Jasper National Park grew substantial-ly Friday as staff worked to get campers and other visitors out of the area.

Kim Weir, a Parks Can-ada spokeswoman, said the 50-square-kilometre fire in the Maligne Valley was 14 kilometres from the town and 15 kilometres from Maligne Lake.

“We expect the fire to spread toward Maligne Lake, that is, to the south, and that means away from the community of Jasper,” Weir said.

“The risk to the community is nil.”

Weir said possible wind gusts and lightning were expected later in the day.

Three Parks Canada fire crews supported by five helicopters and heavy equipment were busy fighting the wildfire, which offi-cials believe was probably causedby lightning.

The road into the valley and campgrounds in the immediate area was closed.

Canadian economy lost 6,400 jobs in June; central bank to reduce outlookTHE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada suf-fered a net loss in jobs last month but overall perform-ance on the employment front was better than expected in a result that did little to shed light on what the Bank of Canada will do on interest rates next week.

The central bank is expected to reduce its economic outlook for the year, but whether it will cut its key interest rate is

a matter of debate among economists.

“On balance, this was a slightly better result than expected and makes the (central) bank’s decision next week very much a toss-up,” BMO chief econo-mist Doug Porter said of the jobs report.

“Having forecast that we expect the bank to trim rates next week, we’re not going to change the call on one murky labour force survey — but it will make for one intense debate

next week for the bank, especially if Greece does indeed manage to reach a deal this weekend.”

Statistics Canada said there were 6,400 fewer jobs last month, as a strong gain in full-time employ-ment only partially offset a bigger decline in part-time positions.

The report was the last major economic data point before the rate announce-ment and the release of the central bank’s latest mon-etary policy report.

“We can offer no solace that fully addresses the pain borne by the victims’ families. But we must look back at Srebrenica with clear eyes, commemorate the tragedy, and learn from it.”

Thousands in Toronto for opening of Pan Am GamesEvent offi cially begin today, but some competitions started as early as TuesdayPAOLA LORIGGIO THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Weeks of noncha-lance gave way to excitement and pride Friday as thousands descended on downtown Toronto for the Pan American Games opening ceremony, officially kicking off the largest inter-national multi-sport competition ever held in Canada.

Hordes of people carrying — and often wearing — flags from more than a dozen countries packed into the Rogers Centre, temporarily renamed the Pan Am Ceremonies Venue, for the sold-out show.

The thrill of seeing both her native country and her adopted one perform was almost too much to bear for Margarita Caro-presi, 53, who came to Canada from Mexico 17 years ago.

“I haven’t been able to sleep for a week,” said Caropresi, who brought a small Mexican flag, beaded necklaces in the coun-try’s colours and a pendant that includes both the Canadian and Mexican flags.

“This is a big thing in Latin America. Here it’s just like another game, but not for us — it’s the Pan Am. So we celebrate this as a serious thing. It’s kind of like the home Olympics.”

The ceremony kicked off with a gravity-daring stunt from Olympic gold medallist Donovan Bailey in a pre-taped bit that depicted members of Canada’s gold medal-winning 1996 4x100-metre relay team trotting the torch around Toronto and even-tually to the top of the CN Tower. Bailey was the last to receive the flame and promptly base-jumped

off the 553-metre-high structure, parachuting onto the roof of the dome. The star sprinter then appeared in the stadium, des-cending from the ceiling.

Earlier Friday, the head of the Games organizing committee said if the event goes well, it could set the stage for the city to make another Olympic bid.

“If we do a good job, we’ll have the option of having Olympics; if we don’t do a good job and if the city doesn’t respond, we will not have that option,” David Peter-son told a news conference.

Except for a large stadium, all of the facilities would be in place for an Olympic Games in

the next 10 or 20 years, Peterson added.

“The timelines on these things are very long,” he said.

He said an Olympic bid is not the focus now, but if the Pan Am Games go well, a future leader-ship group could use them as the basis for another pitch for the Olympics.

“It takes an awful lot of polit-ical will, an awful lot of leader-ship and corporate and public co-operation,” said the former Ontario premier.

While ticket sales have been sluggish — about 850,000 of 1.4 million tickets for the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games have

been sold — Peterson said he expects Pan Am sales will hit 90 per cent.

He also said he’s not concerned about the griping by locals over budget and traffic congestion as “it’s always the way” for this kind of event.

“There is no games in the world that haven’t had critics and cynics leading up to the opening day — it is totally predictable,” Peterson said. “What you’re see-ing right now on the opening day, you’re seeing the positive buzz washing over all of that, you’re seeing it reflected in positive ticket sales, in the enthusiasm and in the energy.”

FISHERIES

Canada may soon sign deal on fi shing in ArcticBOB WEBER THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada appears poised to sign an international agreement to block commercial fishing in the central Arctic Ocean until more is known about the potential of the resource.

A source close to the negotia-tions told The Canadian Press that the deal is to be signed next Thursday in Oslo.

A Fisheries and Oceans spokes-woman confirmed that Canada will be in Norway next week.

“We can confirm that we are planning to attend a meeting in Norway with other Arctic Ocean coastal states to discuss further measures against unregulated high-seas fishing in the central Arctic Ocean,” Carole Saindon wrote in an email.

Canada, the United States, Russia, Denmark and Norway reached an interim agreement in February 2014 to work toward protecting Arctic waters beyond the 200-kilometre territorial limit of their respective shores, an area the size of the Mediterran-ean Sea.

“The participants recognized the need for interim precaution-ary measures to prevent any future commercial fisheries without the prior establishment of appropriate regulatory mech-anisms,” the countries said in a news release.

The final signing of that agree-ment has been expected, said Michael Byers, an international law expert at the University of British Columbia.

Omar Sharif recalled for good looks, acting talentSARAH EL DEEB AND LEE KEATH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAIRO — In Lawrence of Arabia, Omar Sharif first emerges as speck in distance in the shim-mering desert sand. He draws closer, a black-robed figure on a trotting camel, until he finally dismounts, pulling aside his scarf to reveal his dark eyes and a disarming smile framed by his thin moustache.

The Egyptian-born actor’s Hollywood debut immediately enshrined him as a smouldering leading man of the 1960s, tran-scending nationality.

Sharif died of a heart attack in a Cairo hospital on Friday at the age of 83, his London-based agent Steve Kenis and close friends said.

When director David Lean cast him in 1962’s In Lawrence of Arabia, Sharif was already the biggest heartthrob in his homeland, where he played brooding, romantic heroes in

multiple films in the 1950s — and was married to Egyptian cinema’s reigning screen beauty. But he was a virtual unknown elsewhere.

He wasn’t Lean’s first choice to play Sherif Ali, the tribal lead-er with whom Peter O’Toole’s T.E. Lawrence teams up to help lead the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Lean had hired another actor but dropped him because his eyes weren’t the right colour. The film’s producer,

Sam Spiegel, went to Cairo to search for a replacement and found Sharif. After passing a screen test that proved he was fluent in English, he got the job.

The film brought him a sup-porting-actor Oscar nomination. His international stardom was cemented three years later by his starring turn in another sweep-ing historical epic by Lean, Doc-tor Zhivago.

Though he had over 100 films to his credit, Doctor Zhivago” was considered his Hollywood classic. The Russian doctor-poet Zhivago makes his way through the upheaval of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution, guided by his devotion to his art and to his doomed love for Lara, played by Julie Christie.

Still, Sharif never thought it was as good as it could have been.

“It’s sentimental. Too much of that music,” he once said, refer-ring to Maurice Jarre’s luscious Oscar-winning score.

SHARIF

Lawyer recalls frantic moments after blastSTEVE LAMBERT THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Maria Mitousis clearly remembers the explosion that almost killed her as she worked in her small family law practice — a blast from a seem-ingly harmless mail package that police allege was sent by an ex-husband of one of her clients.

In a statement released Fri-day through Winnipeg police, Mitousis recounted assessing her condition immediately after the bomb went off last week.

“I have my teeth, I can see, I can blink,” the statement read.

“I’m going to get past this. I live in the moment,” she recalled thinking as emergency respond-ers rushed her to hospital where she would undergo 10 hours of surgery.

The extent of Mitousis’s injur-ies became clearer Friday. Police confirmed the lawyer lost her right hand and her left was severely injured. She suffered “countless” injuries to her face, chest and thighs, said Const. Jason Michalyshen.

Despite the injuries, Mitousis expressed confidence and hope during an hour-long meeting

with Michalyshen, he added.“One of the first things she said

was, ’I want people to know I’m OK. I’ll get better.’ She is going to go back to doing what she does as a lawyer.”

Michalyshen said Mitousis recalled playing golf hours before the explosion and “remembered how at peace she was out on the golf course.”

“What became most evident is that Maria is an incredibly resili-ent person.”

The explosion last Friday was the first of what police allege was a targeted campaign of revenge by Guido Amsel, a 49-year-old man who had gone through a long and bitter divorce.

Amsel is accused of putting explosive compound inside digit-al voice recorders and mailing them to locations connected to two legal battles — his divorce and a lawsuit with his ex-wife over an auto body shop they used to jointly run.

Amsel is due to return to court next week. He has yet to enter pleas to charges including two counts of attempted murder. He also hasn’t retained a lawyer.

Lions pull off late victoryRoughriders blow 11-point lead as B.C. wins its home opener 35-32 in overtimeJOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Manny Arce-neaux caught a six-yard touch-down from Travis Lulay in over-time as the B.C. Lions picked up their first win of the season with a 35-32 comeback victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Former Lions kicker Paul McCallum booted a 33-yard field goal to put Saskatchewan (0-3) up 32-29 in overtime before Lulay hooked up with Arceneaux for the winning points.

B.C. was down 11 with 1:38 to go in the fourth quarter, but Lulay hooked up with Austin Collie for a touchdown and two-point con-vert before Richie Leone booted a club-record 56-yard field goal, his fifth of the night, to tie the score with 15 seconds left after Saskatchewan turned the ball over on downs.

Weston Dressler caught two touchdowns for Saskatchewan (0-3), which has lost back-to-back games in overtime and will host the Lions in the rematch on Fri-day night.

Kevin Glenn made his second straight start for the Rough-riders after No. 1 quarterback Darian Durant ruptured his left Achillies tendon in Saskatch-ewan’s opener.

Anthony Allen and short-yard-age QB Brett Smith accounted for the other Saskatchewan touchdowns.

Lulay made his first start at B.C. Place Stadium since Septem-ber 2013 following two seasons marred by injuries to his throw-ing shoulder. He finished with three TD tosses, including one to Rollie Lumbala.

With the Roughriders down 9-7 in the third quarter after Leone connected on a 12-yard field goal, Dressler caught his second TD of the night on a 10-yard pass from Glenn. Saskatchewan went for two, with Dressler hauling in another Glenn pass to go up 15-9.

The Lions responded with a 42-yard field goal from Leone, but Glenn — who started all but one game for the Lions last season with Lulay out injured — drove the Roughriders down to the Lions’ one-yard line before Smith rushed for a short touchdown

early in the fourth quarter.McCallum added his second

32-yard convert of the night to put Saskatchewan up 22-12.

B.C. scored its first TD of the night with under seven minutes to go on a seven-yard pass from Lulay to Lumbala, but Leone missed the convert to keep the Roughriders up by four.

Saskatchewan then looked to have salted things away when Glenn drove the ball down the field again to set up Allen’s

10-yard TD run that made it 29-18 after McCallum’s convert.

Lulay hooked up with Collie on a 46-yard TD with 1:38 left on the clock that along with the receiv-er’s two-point convert catch made the score 29-26.

B.C. elected to kick deep, and with Saskatchewan’s short yard-age team in, Smith was stopped on third down to gift the Lions the ball at the Roughriders’ 48 yard-line with 43 seconds to go.

Leone then hit a 56-yard

field goal to send the game to overtime.

The Roughriders opened the scoring with about six minutes to go in the first quarter when Glenn hooked up with a wide-open Dressler for a 45-yard touchdown on what appeared to a busted coverage in the Lions’ secondary.

Leone responded with short field goals in the first and second quarter to send the teams to the locker-rooms with the Roughrid-

Raiders staying in Nanaimo for campSCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS

There will be no trip to Port Alberni this year for the Vancou-ver Island Raiders.

Instead, the Nanaimo junior football team will stay home for a two-day training camp today and Sunday, two weeks ahead of their 2015 B.C. Football Con-ference home opener, July 25 against the defending champion Langley Rams.

The Raiders have traditional-ly held their pre-season camp elsewhere on Vancouver Island, however under new head coach Jerome Erdman the team will remain in Nanaimo.

“We have a lot of kids who are working, and if we go away it cre-ates a bit of a financial burden for some of them,” said Erdman, the team’s third head coach in as many years.

“We wanted to give them a break. We will be staying over-night locally here and doing our team-building activities, and we’ll have two-a-day practices on Saturday and Sunday. We’ll get everything we need to do done without too much distraction for our players.

“We’ll be at Caledonia, which will be nice to have a chance to get on our game field.”

The Raiders are coming off a 5-5 season that saw them eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2005, their first season in Nanaimo.

They bring back All-Canadian quarterback Liam O’Brien, but suffer key losses of graduated players Marshall Cook — the league’s top receiever in 2014 — as well as linebacker Dylan Chapdelaine, the winner of the 2014 Wally Buono Award as the top junior football player in the country.

Erdman says it’s “too early” to tell who will be tasked with the job of trying to replace Chapdel-aine’s production in the heart of the Raiders defence.

“It’s still wide open,” he said.“We’ve got two or three guys

that are competing at that spot, but it’s way too early to say who’s going to be his replacement.

“He’s a hard guy to replace.”Erdman has been running the

team through optional team activities throughout the off-season since he was hired on April 28 to take over for Jeremy Conn, who had to pull out of the job due to health concerns.

He has also taken the club through a two-day spring camp in May, and is excited about what the team has become since he has taken over.

“We’ve changed their way of doing things,” Erdman said.

“Our practices are very differ-ent from what they’re used to and they’ve bought in 100 per cent. They’re all working hard and they’re all competing, so I couldn’t ask for anything more.”Notes: Practices this weekend will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. . . . Former Raiders offensive assist-ant coach Todd Hansen has been named as the team’s offensive co-ordinator.

Nanaimo United clubs begin summer workROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS

This past Monday marked the start of the Nanaimo United pre-season tryouts ahead of next season and one of the club’s coaches said it was the highest turnout of hopefuls since 2011.

Women’s coach Daragh Fitz-gerald said there were between 40-50 men and 10-15 women at the tryouts, which continue every Monday throughout July at Cal-edonia Park from 5:30 p.m.

The park was split up into five playing fields and teams were put into game situations in a seven-versus-seven format, as coaches observed.

Fitzgerald said all of the women that came out were new to him which he says bodes well for the future.

“It was fantastic and easily our highest turnout for four years,” he said. “We’ve got some new coaches at the club this year so it’s important for them to have a look at everybody.”

Fitzgerald hopes to build a ros-ter of 18 for next year and says the majority of the team from last season, which made it to the semifinal stage of the Doug Day Cup, will return — including captain Andrea Strebel and goalscorers Casey Martin and Megan Chase.

The coach says he plans to confirm it all the end of July and will again be assisted by Paddy Greig.

“I’d like to have around 18 real-istically and then a maximum of 16 at games.”

Fitzgerald will also likely earn a spot on the men’s Division 1 team next year after playing his part in the team’s Jackson Cup qualification last season.

It was the first time the team had done so in 12 years.

Next season, that team will be coached by Chris Merriman with Jordan Reams stepping down from the role, while former assistant Mike Greenaway moves up to a director of soccer role within the club.

Merriman believes the work rate of the players will catch his eye at the tryouts, but also says he plans to go into the ses-sions with a clean slate for every player.

“I’m not going to just base it on the players that were part of the Division 1 team last year,” said Merriman.

“Those who were on the Div-ision 2, 3 and U21 teams will all

get their chance so I want it to be open. We’ll then build the strong-est team from there.”

Merriman says a lot of the teams in the Vancouver Island Soccer League tend to stick with similar rosters every year, and certain players therefore don’t get the chance to play at the highest level.

He envisions a mixture of play-ers from the Division 1 squad last time alongside some fresh faces, which may step up from the low-er teams later on in the season.

“They obviously had some experienced guys so it’ll still be important to have that.

“I want to keep a good balance and not overload the Division 1 team as well. We want the best players at the club to get good minutes so we’ll try to keep it smaller at the beginning and then add to it as we go along.”


“It was fantastic and easily the highest turnout we’ve had for four years. We’ve got some new coaches at the club this year so it was important for them to have a look at everybody.“

‘I was screaming inside’ Federer beats Murray, sets up Wimbledon fi nal with DjokovicHOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — If Roger Federer was going to allow Andy Murray to gain a foothold in the Wimble-don semifinals, this seemed as if it might be the moment.

Murray delivered a 129 mph ace to pull out an epic seven-deuce, 15-minute game, saving five set points along the way, to get to 5-all in the second set. As he strutted near the Centre Court stands, shaking his fist and roar-ing, spectators loudly saluted the effort with a standing ovation.

“I,” Federer would say later, “was screaming inside.”

Was Murray suddenly making a match of it? Swinging the momentum his way? Not against Federer. Not on this day. Dis-playing the impeccable serving he produced all match — indeed, all fortnight — Federer held at love right away, then broke Mur-ray in the next game. And that, essentially, was that.

Federer’s 7-5, 7-5, 6-4 victory Friday, built by taking 70 of 91 points he served and breaking Murray in the last game of each set, moved him into his 10th Wimbledon final. One more win would make Federer the first man with eight titles at The Championships, as the grass-court tournament first held in 1877 is known around these parts.

“Doesn’t matter whether it’s No. 8 or No. 1,” Federer said, “Wimbledon finals is always a big occasion.”

On Sunday, the No. 2-seed-ed Federer faces No. 1 Novak

Djokovic in a rematch of last year’s final. Djokovic won that one in five sets to keep Federer stuck on seven trophies at the All England Club, tied with Pete Sampras and 1880s player Willie Renshaw, and a record 17 Grand Slam trophies overall.

Djokovic, who also won Wimbledon in 2011 and owns eight major titles, advanced by beating No. 21 Richard Gasquet 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4. Nine of Gasquet’s first 10 winners came via his smooth, one-handed backhand, but that stroke eventually let him down. At 2-all in the tie-breaker, Gasquet’s backhand sailed long, and he wouldn’t take another point in the set. When he was broken right away to begin

the second, any suspense about who would win dissipated.

About the only intrigue con-cerned Djokovic’s left shoulder, which was massaged by a trainer during second-set changeovers.

“It’ll be fine for the next match,” Djokovic said.

After reaching his fourth Wimbledon final in five years, Djokovic called Federer “the greatest player of all time on grass courts, and maybe greatest player of all time.”

Sure looked that way against No. 3 Murray, who lost to Feder-er in the 2012 Wimbledon final — the last time Federer won a major — but beat him a few weeks later for gold at the Lon-don Olympics.

Time is now not for the T-Men, but it’s coming

Kaleb Toth’s three-year plan to get the Nanaimo Timber-men into the West-ern Lacrosse Associ-

ation playoffs is going to have to wait until Year 4, and that’s OK.

A tough pill to swallow, no doubt, for a team that was the darling of the WLA just weeks ago after two upset wins over the Victoria Shamrocks to open the season. Wins that are especially impressive seeing as the Sham-rocks haven’t lost a game since.

Toth, a former pro lacrosse star and Timbermen player, had a goal to reach the playoffs this season, his third year with the team since retiring as a player to become the team’s head coach.

He hasn’t been able to pull the club out of the seven-team league’s basement since taking over. And as their nine-game losing streak carries into the weekend, the playoffs are simply becoming out of reach.

Year 4 will have to do. And again, that’s not so bad.

Because the Timbermen are building toward something that can be great, just something that is going to take time.

A quick look around the league shows that nearly everyone but the Timbermen has a roster head-lines by one, two or a few Nation-al Lacrosse League stars.

The Langley Thunder, who they came within a goal of beating in Nanaimo last week and took to overtime on Wednesday on the road, have one of the game’s all-time best players in Lewis Ratcliff. Victoria’s Rhys Duch is one of the top players in the world, and the players flanking him aren’t so bad, either.

Cory Conway leads the league in scoring, Dan Dawson was 16th in NLL scoring, and Nanaimo lacrosse players know well what Scott Ranger is capable of.

The Burnaby Lakers boast Robert Church, who nearly beat the Timbermen himself a few losses ago, while Maple Ridge’s Ben McIntosh was the NLL’s top rookie a season ago, and New Westminster’s Logan Schuss is being billed as the future of the Vancouver Stealth.

What really killed the Timber-men this year was their NLL star — Brett Hickey — deciding to stay in Ontario after Nanaimo traded for him in the offseason.

The big right-hander had a breakout NLL season, finishing with 81 points in 18 games with the Toronto Rock. His decision

to stay there left a gaping hole on that side of the floor.

So a young group of Timber-men, headlined by high draft picks like Eli McLaughlin, who is starting to catch on in a big way, Brody Eastwood and Cody Brem-ner are tasked with bringing the team out of the cellar.

McLaughlin is expected to develop into an NLL star, and Eastwood will likely be a high draft pick in that league in the fall, especially after his outstand-ing college field lacrosse season.

Bremner was released by the Vancouver Stealth last season after taking the summer away from the game to travel, but it’s unlikely another team doesn’t snatch him up soon.

And when you throw in young, talented local players like right-handers Mitch Parker and Mac Johnston, who have been playing together since they were near-in-fants and bleed Timbermen black and red, this team can’t be that far away. Not to mention Nanaimo product Pete Dubenski being groomed to be the team’s future No. 1 goalie.

All of that comes down to the Timbermen being a young team in a league dominated by veter-ans, and that it is going to take longer than expected for this team to truly flourish.

It should also be noted that the Nanaimo budget just simply isn’t on the same level as the Sham-rocks and Salmonbellies.

But winning brings fans through the door, fans who bring their wallets.

What the Timbermen need to do now is continue building around their core players that have shown in many instances that they have the talent to be high-end players in this league.

They head to Coquitlam on Sat-urday night to play the Coquitlam Adanacs, who aren’t in much better shape, looking for their elusive third win. Whenever it happens, it will be another step in the right direction.

Anjarwalla fi nishes in fi fth at B.C. juniorsDAILY NEWS

A week after finishing in sev-enth place at the B.C. Women’s Amateur Championship, 15-year-old Nanaimo golfer Shirin Anjar-walla was able to improve her standing.

After shooting a three-under 70 in the fourth round of the B.C. Junior Girls Championship Fri-day at Cordova Bay, Anjarwalla finished in fifth place in the tour-nament, which featured golfers up to 18 years old.

She had shot four-over for each

of the first three rounds.Her four-round score of plus-

nine was 13 shots off the lead, set by tournament champion Michelle Kim, 17, of Surrey.

The tournament featured 51 of the top female junior golfers in the province.

Canucks re-sign young trio to two-way dealsDAILY NEWS

The Vancouver Canucks have re-signed a young trio of prospects who are expected to make a push to join the National Hockey League club’s full-time roster in the coming years.

At the team’s annual summer summit with sea-son ticket holders Thursday, general manager Jim Benning announced the signings of defencemen Frank Corrado, 22, and Adam Clendening, before also announcing the signing of 23-year-old forward Alexandre Grenier a day later.

Grenier and Corrado are former draft picks of the Canucks, while Clendening was acquired via a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks.

SCOREBOARD

Winnipeg Blue Bombers defender Johnny Adams celebrates his touchdown with Greg Peach during CFL action in Winnipeg Friday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Bombers hold off Alouettes, win 25-23JUDY OWEN THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Defensive back Teague Sherman looked more like a sprinter Friday night.

Sherman scored a touchdown off a blocked punt as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers held on to defeat the Montreal Alouettes 25-23.

Bombers defensive back Lin-J Shell started the play by blocking Alouettes kicker Boris Bede late in the second quarter and Sherman pounced on the ball in the end zone to give Winnipeg a 19-10 halftime lead.

“I won the race,” said Sherman, an Edmonton native in his third season with the Bombers. “There was a few of us, but I won the race. I think my speed increased incredibly as soon as I saw the ball out there. I wanted to try to get there first.

“It was awesome. I’ve got to give full credit to Lin-J Shell. It was all him. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.”

The University of Manitoba product wasn’t the only Bomber in the right place at the right time.

Rookie cornerback Johnny Adams grabbed one of two interceptions thrown by rookie Rakeem Cato, stepping in front of intended receiver S.J. Green and running 40 yards for his major in the second quarter.

He also shared the limelight with the defensive line.

“They pressured (Cato) and I just helped out and did my part on the defence,” said Adams.

Bombers quarterback Drew Willy showed no ill effects from taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in last week’s loss to Hamilton, a smack that made him miss three quarters of the game.

Willy completed 20-of-29 pass attempts for 251 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. He also ran three times for 28 yards.

Lirim Hajrullahu booted four field goals in a contest that left the Alouettes (1-2) trying for a late comeback. Winnipeg (2-1) held a 22-13 lead going into the fourth quarter.

South lost five tricks where the four- trick set resulted in a loss of 800 points.

North’s advance save was a good plan since the opponents were certain to be a lock for a small slam or perhaps even a grand slam. In fact, E-W can make either six clubs or six dia-monds but the major suit slam fails with hearts breaking 4-1.

This deal was played nineventure more than game.

One other N-S pair saved in six spades to finish down four doubled.

East’s resolve to open with a demand two-bid was not a good idea. Two suited hands do not lend themselves to a two club opening. If he opens one heart, South may scrape up a spade overcall and West will bid two hearts. In this scenario, North may pull in a notch to bid only five spades. East will continue to six hearts which should end the auction. The foul trump division dooms the contract where N-S will enter a satisfying +100 on their scorecard.

Frankly, I think that East should bid seven clubs banking on partner to own the king and queen of clubs. He certainly had no desire to defend a doubled spade contract.

Buying a home on looks is not the wisest decision

Dear Annie: The time has come for my husband and me to down-size. Something seems to have become very popular: “staging.”

I have been married 50 years and in that time have sold seven homes. Four of them sold to the first people who saw them, so I feel I have some

insight into how to present your home for sale: Fresh paint where needed; an attractive yard and entry; clean windows, floors and rugs; heating and cooling units in good condition; and a minimum of person items (photos, mementos, etc.). But today, that doesn’t seem to be enough.

I am told by realtors and maga-zine and newspaper articles that I must “stage.” I have to get rid of anything, including furniture and paintings, that the stager deems offensive. I should set the table as though I am about to serve dinner (but not be cooking), put out cham-pagne and glasses by the bed (we are too old to even have anyone

want to imagine where that might lead), and basically set it like a model home. We are told that this is what people expect.

Can this be true? What happens if the house doesn’t sell for a year? I’ll have to dust the dishes on the pre-set table for my imaginary guests and invest in a lot of champagne if I have to do this every time there is a showing. I’m all for new fluffy towels, but so many of the other suggestions seem frivolous. I pity someone with small children if this is what it takes to sell a house now. — Curious

Dear Curious: People who make their livings setting up homes for sale will of course try to convince

you that you need to do this, but it’s all a matter of degree. A house that looks like a model home is naturally going to create a more positive impression than one that looks unkempt or poorly main-tained. But most buyers expect a house to be in good shape struc-turally and include the elements they want. They’d rather see that the toilets flush properly than have champagne by the bedside. This is why buyers should hire a reliable inspector before finalizing the sale. An attractive presentation is lovely, but it’s all gravy.

Those who buy a home based primarily on a nice table setting deserve what they get.

see a situation differently this morning than you will by late afternoon. Hold back your judg-ments, and remain more in touch with your feelings. Later in the day, try to detach and relax. Tonight: Know that you don’t have to do anything.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Be more forthright in the

choices you make in the mor-ning. You might like to take off with a loved one and indulge in a favourite summer sport. Your personality draws in many people. You need to make time for the special people in your life. Tonight: Where you are, the party is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Decide to break barriers.

Whether you’re planning a trip somewhere you never thought you’d go or you’re getting to know a loved one better, you will enjoy yourself. Give up being so judgemental, and enjoy the

experience. Tonight: In the mid-dle of whatever is happening.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Defer to someone who seems

to want to take command of the day’s plans or a special event. You might think that this person needs the experience, or maybe his or her desire just frees you up. Try to be more forthright when making requests. Tonight: Take off.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Make someone feel more

important, especially if there has been misunderstandings. Check in on an older relative who might not be very resourceful. If you feel negatively about this per-son, let it go. Tonight: Be with a favourite person.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have a lot to get done. Do

what you must, and you’ll discov-er that there are more enjoyable activities ahead. An invitation involving some physical exercise probably would be an excellent choice. Respond to a friend who might feel left out. Tonight: Try out a new spot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)So many opportunities come

forward that you might need to make a decision that you’d rather not make. Don’t avoid a loved one. Be sure to include this person in your plans. A friend could be difficult and pull back if you are not careful. Tonight: Slow down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You could be taken aback by

someone’s stubbornness. Could this person’s response be a reac-tion to your tenacity? Try not to be as rigid as you have been with this person, and see what hap-pens. Make a point of returning some calls. Tonight: Paint the town red.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Use the daylight hours to

reach out for others, whether it is through email, by phone or in person. You will find that others greet you with a pleasant response. You will be making plans to visit someone before you know it! Meet friends for a movie. Tonight: Make it an early night.

YOUR BIRTHDAY (July 11) This year expect swift changes,

especially in your personality. You could go from being con-tent to impulsive in less than a minute. Others might not be sure how to accept and deal with your mood swings. If you are single, your multifaceted personality draws many people toward you. After summer, sometime before your next birthday, you will meet someone you simply can’t resist. This bond could be very intense. Proceed with care. If you are attached, your sweetie might want to spend more time with you at home. GEMINI often intimidates you.
