Wrist slapped and lesson learned says the former Mayor of Warfield.
Bert Crockett, a 12-year village politician, was speaking about the BC Ombudsperson’s annual report which calls out his council directive to hold talks and a vote by phone in private.
The municipal watchdog looked into the matter and concluded the business should have been on record as a special meeting and car-ried out in a public venue.
Released in June under the title “Lines are Now Open,” accord-ing to Ombudsperson Kim Carter, Warfield council held a special
meeting by telephone, didn't record it, and failed to take necessary steps to ensure people were aware of the meeting and could listen in.
The meeting in question was held to discuss the refund of recre-ation fees, her summary states, not-ing the investigation found the vil-lage didn't follow provisions under the Community Charter related to open meetings, notice of meetings and electronic meetings.
“Basically we never made a resolution at the council meeting to have that telephone call,” said Crockett. “So there's no record and everything you do has to have a track record.”
The phone call was to ask every-
body how they felt after the discus-sion at council, he added.
“To give them a couple days to digest before we actually took the vote – to make sure everyone was comfortable with their decision.”
It was that action that had “Jacques” (the report maintains confidentiality) lodging a complaint with the provincial office, saying he tried to get an explanation as to why the meeting was closed and was told it was conducted in accordance with the Community Charter.
Dissatisfied with the reply, “Jacques” contacted the ombud-sperson because her job is to probe complaints about maladministra-tion.
Her findings show the Community Charter was in fact, not followed. The charter is the rulebook for municipal government and procedures, and states notice of a special meeting must be given at least 24 hours in advance and include the date, time, place of the meeting and must describe the pur-pose of the meeting.

Sometimes life comes together just like it is supposed to. The timing is right and the place is right.
That’s what happened four weeks ago when Kandy Schroder opened the doors of her Tomatoes and Thyme Café on Old Waneta Road. Even the name she thought of a few years ago fit into her epicurious vision.
Light in-season fare, fresh squeezed lemonade, brewed ice tea to order, and goodies baked each morning are what’s coming out of her newly renovated kitchen seven days a week.
“The menu is seasonal,” she said. “Working next to a greenhouse and living in the Kootenays means every-
thing fresh is so access-ible. Like my thyme that I grow outside
the front window.”All Schroder’s dishes have a zing of
fresh herbs, but her homegrown thyme is what sets her daily soups and savories apart from other cooks’ recipes.
“That’s where the name Tomatoes and Thyme comes in as well,” she said. “So when this location came up it was just perfect because I always wanted to go into this venture with a fresh theme.”
The days start early and end at dusk for Schroder, beginning with a breakfast platter, the popular french toast muffin and fruit crisps baked at dawn. Orders can be to go, but most prefer enjoying their meal on the flower-adorned patio or inside the renovated dining room that’s been painted in warm and wel-coming hues.
Then it’s on to the lunch menu with daily specials like beef sirloin pasta salad with a fresh garden medley.
“I do all the baking and it does go fast,” she said, mentioning a part time cook helps during the midday rush. “But people come in and have treats for desserts later in the day.”
To complement pastries and meals, Schroder offers fresh ground coffee or specialty beverages like cappuccinos, lattes and iced coffees – most of which are whipped up by her teenaged daugh-ters and servers who work the front counter while she cooks mise en place in the gleaming kitchen.
Fresh sandwiches, wraps and salads are often followed by an in-demand summer time treat – waffle cones and waffle bowls filled with one or two scoops of her 20-plus choices of ice cream.
“I have a brand new ice cream cooler and it’s been very popular,” she said. “I had people coming in a steady stream asking for Tiger Tiger which I didn’t have at first. But I ordered it, and added
it to all the all flavours I have on hand, including the classics.”
It’s been a lot of work, but Schroder is loving every minute of it. Her custom-ers, friends and family have been posi-tive, encouraging and the buzz about her tasty menu grows daily.
“People have come in from all over,” she added. “I even have businesses from Castlegar text me their lunch orders which I have ready for them when they drive in to pick it up.”
Coming up Aug. 19, Schroder is bringing back “Ladies Night,” at Tomatoes and Thyme, which was a popular local women’s event that faded away a number of years ago.
Ten-dollar tickets went on sale this week for the evening that includes dinner and refreshments, a variety of vendors showcasing wares like teas and jewelry as well as a table set up by the local winery.
“It was time to bring this back,” she said. “I am excited, it will be a really nice night for ladies.”
With three daughters, a husband and a business she operates Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sundays 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. it’s a wonder where the former administrative worker gets all her energy from.
“Growing up in a big family every-
body had to do their part, including all the meals,” explained the Kamloops-reared cook. “And most of it fell on the younger children. So that’s how this all started.”

B y B i l l M e t c a l f eNelson Star
Nelson Mayor Deb Kozak will issue a challenge to other Kootenay municipal-ities this week. The Kootenay Community Voter Challenge is a friendly contest to see which municipality can most increase the percentage of its voter turnout in the next federal election over 2011.
Nelson resident Mike Chapman came up with the idea and Kiara Lynch pre-sented it to council on Monday. Council enthusiastically endorsed it and the mayor agreed to take it on.
Lynch and Chapman are part of a non-partisan group which will run the contest. She assured council participation will not cost them any money.
Lynch began her presentation with a quote from comedian and broadcaster Rick Mercer:
“You get young people voting, next
thing you know you’ll have an entire generation of informed citizens running around, taking part in democracy and feel-ing a real sense of ownership in Canada.”
Lynch proposed that council chal-lenge all members of the Association of Kootenay Boundary Municipalities, which Kozak chairs.
“This can be done in the spirit of community building,” she said, “and is a creative way to catch the commun-ities’ imagination and attention. Inventive prizes can be decided upon for the winning community. This is a serious endeavour, but it needn’t be solemn.”
She jokingly suggested first prize should be a Senate seat. She said perhaps the mayor of the winning town could get a “golden ticket” for free activities in participating communities. And she said they have contacted Mercer, asking him to come and record a rant or otherwise
appear in the winning community, but have not heard back yet.
Accompanying Lynch to the council meeting, to prove that the initiative is non-partisan, were four local citizens, each a supporter of one of the main parties: Corky Evans (NDP), Jan Wright (Liberal), Lorne Westnedge (Conservative) and Nicole Charlwood (Green).
“I love it,” councillor Anna Purcell said. “I love that it is not partisan. It sounds like a really fun, playful way to work regionally and collaboratively.”
Kozak said: “I thought it was brilliant right away. Anything we can do to increase participation in democracy, and if we can make it fun at the same time, this is a great idea.”
Councillor Valerie Warmington said she appreciates the “serious but not solemn” approach.
Lynch presented statistics on the per-
centages of eligible voters in Canada who did not vote in the 2011 federal election. The 18 to 24-year-old group had the high-est number of non-voters at 61 per cent, followed by 25 to 34-year-olds at 55 per cent. Most engaged was the 65 to 74 group, with 25 per cent non-voters.
She said in the 2011 federal election, Nelson’s voter turnout was 62 per cent, lower than the average of 66 per cent for the BC Southern Interior riding.
“We see this federal election as a golden opportunity,” Lynch said. “We see it as a perfect time to engage young people and to discuss civic engagement in general, because clearly our federal politics affects our cities, towns, and regions.
Because this decision was made at a committee of the whole meeting, council’s decision to take on this project must be ratified at its next regular meeting in two weeks.

Nelson challenges neighbours to voter turnout competition
FROM PAGE 1Carter maintains in her report.
“It was not done by protocol according to Robert’s Rule of Parliament (Order),” admitted Crockett, referring to the most commonly adopted parliamen-tary authority in the English-speaking world.
“But it was part of a learn-ing curve that everyone goes through, there was no malice in our intent.”
He said next year the ombud-sperson report could be quite lengthy with so many new coun-cils at the table following the Nov. 15 civic election.
“A lot of newly elected officials are not up to speed on all the bylaws and protocols and they phone each other in a friendly fashion,” Crockett explained.
“The next thing you know somebody’s going to challenge that,” he continued.
“In our case, it was a sensitive subject and we all knew it was sensitive. I just wanted to make sure everyone was comfortable in their own skin and there wasn’t a knee jerk reaction because there could be consequences. So I said, ‘Take a couple of days, and I’ll call you.’”
Carter ends her report say-ing her office discussed the con-clusions with the village, drew its attention to the Community Charter, requested the munici-pality comply with the provisions
in the future and asked staff and council members to develop guidelines and procedures for the conduct of electronic council meetings.
All agreed.Current Warfield Mayor Ted
Pahl says one of the benefits of being new at the job is learning protocols.
“In camera was one of those areas we researched to under-stand when we go in camera,” he explained, noting the three instances being employee-relat-ed, property-purchases and land alterations, or legal contracts and decisions.
“Unless it fits these criteria, we do not go in camera,” he added.
Carter released the 35th annu-al report June 25, showcasing investigations conducted with provincial public authorities in 2014/15. The report highlights public complaints in sectors ranging from local government to large provincial ministries.
“Each year, our annual report shows the kind of help we pro-vide all British Columbians, including the most vulnerable people in society,” she said in a news release.
“In light of our 20-year anni-versary of municipal oversight, this year’s report also features additional examples of our work resolving problems at the munic-ipal level.”

last thing on Kaylee Goemans’s mind when she rushed her six-week-old son to the emergency room was the parking meter counting down beside her black Honda.
The Barrie, Ont. mother thought she would only be at Royal Victoria Hospital for a short visit on July 13. But three hours ticked by before a doctor came, and Goemans had only paid for four hours of parking.
She fired off a quick post to a Facebook group for local moth-ers, asking if they knew whether her car would get ticket-ed or towed. Besides the answer, her post garnered more than 100 comments from women offering to stop by the parking meter to top it up.
“I’m not far. I can go put change in it for you in about an hour on my way back home if you are still there,” Elisha LeeAnn wrote.
“I live not too far from the hospital. Will head over now and top up the meter for you!” Rachel Banks added.
Goemans spent nearly nine hours at the hospital, but by the time her moth-er picked up the car that evening, there were five hours left on the meter and her Facebook feed was “blowing up” with messages and com-ments wishing her and her son well.
“I was completely overwhelmed. I was completely grateful,” she said. “It made a very tough and stress-ful situation a lot eas-ier for me. It made me able to focus on my son’s needs rather than having to worry about my car being towed.”

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SNew Democrats say they’d two-step
with the federal Liberals if it meant ousting Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, but their pro-spective dance partner isn’t hearing the music.
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said Thursday that his party has always seen the defeat of the Conservatives as a priority.
“We know that they’ve done a lot of harm, and we want to start repairing the damage that (Harper’s) done,” Mulcair said from Amherstburg, Ont., where he stopped as part of an eight-day tour.
“We’ve always worked with others in the past, but every time I’ve raised this prospect with Justin Trudeau, he’s slammed the door on it.”
The Liberal leader did that again on Thursday when asked in Winnipeg about the possibility of a formal coali-tion with the New Democrats.
“Although of course we are open to working with all parties in the House to pass good legislation and to ensure that Canadians’ interests are served, there will be no formal coalition with the NDP,” Trudeau said.
“There are fundamental differences of opinion on very important elements of policy - whether it be Canadian unity
or the Canadian economy and the need for growth - that we disagree with the NDP on.”
Nathan Cullen, NDP MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley in British Columbia, raised the issue again in an interview Wednesday. He said winning a majority in a federal election expected this fall remains his party’s goal, but ultimately the No. 1 priority is toppling the Tories.
“The Liberal voters that I know are as fed up with Stephen Harper as any-body,” Cullen said.
“Justin Trudeau will do himself a great deal of damage with progressive voters if he wants to contemplate more years of this Harper government.”
The last time the idea of a coalition government was seriously floated was in 2008, when the NDP, Liberals and Bloc Quebecois came together to try to force the government out of office.
Their efforts were thwarted when the Governor General, at the prime minis-ter’s request, prorogued Parliament, effectively putting it on pause until the new year, by which time there had been a change in Liberal leadership.
The new leader, Michael Ignatieff, ultimately backed out by grudgingly supporting the Conservative budget. That saved Harper from losing a con-fidence vote and having to call an elec-tion.
That deal only would have been pos-sible by including the separatist Bloc Quebecois. That was unpalatable to the Liberals.
“The NDP said we were willing to make (Liberal) Stephane Dion the prime minister. We thought it was important to replace Mr. Harper’s Conservatives,” Mulcair said.
“The Liberals signed a deal. They walked away from it. And, seven years later, we’ve still got Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.”
A few years ago, when Liberal for-tunes were plummeting, it was Mulcair who categorically ruled out a coalition. He has since suggested those com-ments were intended to indicate only that he wouldn’t agree to any electoral co-operation with the Liberals during a campaign.
Coalitions are relatively common in other parliamentary democracies, such as Germany, but they occur far less frequently in Canada, where the first-past-the-post electoral system favours the formation of majority governments.
Voters are expected to go to the polls on Oct. 19, as per Canada’s fixed-election-date law. However, nothing prevents the prime minister from ask-ing the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and send Canadians to the polls earlier.
NDP open to forming government with Liberals to topple Conservatives
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SA man whose drive from New Brunswick
to Quebec to buy cheaper beer ended in arrest said Thursday he’s looking forward to airing his constitutional challenge in court next month as a defence crowdfunding cam-paign gets underway.
In an interview from Tracadie, N.B., Gerard Comeau said he just wants to know whether he has the right to buy his beer in Quebec.
“The Canadian Constitution says you’ve got the right to go buy any Canadian mer-chandise in any province and bring it from one province to the next,” Comeau said.
“So is it against the law? That’s what we’re trying to find out.”
As part of a sting operation, RCMP arrested Comeau, now 62, in October 2012 when he returned with 12 cases of beer and three bottles of liquor which he bought legally in Pointe-a-la-Croix, Que., just across the river from Campbellton. Police seized the booze and charged him with illegally importing alcohol into his home province.
Cross-border alcohol shopping is a regu-lar thing in the area and the retired power lineman had been making the run two or three times a year into Quebec to score beer - which costs about half the New Brunswick price - and lottery tickets.
However, provincial law in New Brunswick - related to federal anti-smuggling efforts implemented at the height of Prohibition - forbids importing more than one bottle of wine or 12 pints of beer - about 19 regular bottles - from any other province. The restric-tions, stiffer than importing alcohol from the U.S., carry a $292.50 fine for violators.
Comeau’s case has drawn support from the Canadian Constitution Foundation, which this week launched a crowdfunding drive in an effort to raise $20,000 for a fight that seems destined to be decided by the Supreme Court of Canada.
“A lot of people don’t even know that pro-vision is in the law,” Karen Selick, the foun-dation’s litigation director, said from Ottawa.
Constitutional experts will testify at the week-long hearing in Campbellton slated to start Aug. 24.
Besides offering an entertaining his-tory lesson, the foundation said it wants Canadians to help back Comeau in a case it says is crucial to interprovincial trade.
Section 121 of the Constitution is sup-posed to allow for the free flow of goods across provincial borders but, Selick said, a Supreme Court decision dating to 1921 that narrowly interpreted the section is at the heart of the dispute.
As a result, billions of dollars in provincial revenues are at stake and could affect indus-tries as diverse as eggs, poultry and dairy products.
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWINNIPEG - A lit-
tle dog who somehow escaped from his home in Roblin, Man., would probably have some amazing stories to tell if he could talk.
The 10-year old Jack Russell Terrier named Duke was found nearly 400 kilometres away in downtown Winnipeg.
When he van-ished on June 20, his owner, Taylor Funk, called local veterinar-ians, placed ads in the local newspaper and
searched the area.She started to think
she would never find him again when she got a call last weekend from a Facebook group called “Winnipeg Lost Dog Alert.”
A woman living in downtown Winnipeg found Duke wandering around in her neigh-bourhood two weeks ago.
Melissa Chung says she took him in, cleaned him up and even figured out his name.
“The day we got him, we started call-ing out common dog names and he seemed to like Duke so we’ve been calling him Duke ever since,” says Chung, who posted his picture online.
On Wednesday, Funk drove more than four hours to pick up her dog.
“I don’t know where he was. I don’t know what he was doing,” says Funk. “I’m telling everyone he’s in down-town Winnipeg. They
can’t believe it.”She’s grateful that
Chung took Duke in and cared for him so well.
Chung says she was sad to see Duke go, but that he inspired her to adopt a dog of her own.

OPINION
Council’s efforts don’t stop during the summer months
We, the Mayor and Council of the City of Trail would like to
take this opportunity to update our residents on a few items as we head into the middle of summer. Although we only have one Regular Council Meeting scheduled in each of July and August, our work does not stop as we continue to advance business and mat-ters within our strategic plan.
The summer of 2015 has already set record high temperatures and experi-enced the greatest num-ber of fires we have seen across the province. With a full fire-ban in effect, it is important that residents respect this restriction and be mindful of any possible ignition sources. While lightning strikes account for most of the recent fires, poorly extinguished campfires and discarded tobacco products account for most of the rest of the fires experienced during any peak dry season. Please be careful as fires can cause destruction for a commun-ity and its surroundings.
With increased usage in all our parks, we would also like to remind residents of the off-leash areas for your pets around Gyro Park in
particular. The boat launch area is one off-leash area which has easy access for pets to reach the water. The public beach at Gyro Park is not an off-leash area and we ask that you are mindful of this restriction, particularly with the many families visiting the park daily. We want to see this wonderful asset be there for the enjoyment of all.
We have many events for you to enjoy this sum-mer. Stay cool with Water-Rama - “no bull” August 8th in Gyro Park at 2pm. A horn will sound, signa-ling the start of a “flash mob” water fight. Bring your super soakers, squirt toys and water bazookas for this spontaneous water-soaked event. Trail Market on the Esplanade remains a busy attraction for citizens and visitors to Trail. Upcoming market dates are: July 31st, August 14th & 28th, September 11th & 25th and October 9th 10am-2pm. Special Edition Market dates are: August 19th 4pm-8 pm and October 31st 10am-3pm (Spooktacular).
The City of Trail has a booth at each market so come on down and have a chat with your Mayor and Councillors – we always enjoy hearing from you.
Just a reminder that both the pool and fitness facil-ity at the Trail Aquatic & Leisure Centre will be undergoing routine main-tenance during August and September with the pool closed from August 15 to September 13 and with the fitness facility closed from August 15 to 23.
Thank you to our Parks & Recreation Staff along with the Communications & Events Coordinator for working hard to bring about events which are attractive and add to the social fabric of our com-munity.
There are two upcom-ing, great events worth keeping an eye open for. The Storm the Stairs Fundraising Run/Walk is Saturday, September 12 in the Piazza Colombo. Contact the Trail United
Way for more information or to register for this event. The Red Roofs Duathlon will be held the following day on Sunday, September 13th. More information can be found at www.red-roofsdu.com. We extend a special thanks to the Public Works Department for their hard work to ensure the stairs are safe for all participants.
The Pipeline/Pedestrian Bridge project call for pro-posals closes on July 28th. It is expected that the con-tract will be awarded early August with construction anticipated to start the second week of September. The estimated construction period is nine months, with project completion at the end of May 2016.
The bridge will span from the north side of the Columbia River, from the intersection of Columbia Avenue near McQuarrie Street, across the river to Rotary Park on the south side of the river. Council has authorized a call for names for the future bridge; we encourage you to be creative and think of a name that will reflect the importance of our City’s new landmark structure. The call for names will be officially announced in the fall of 2015, so please stay
tuned for more details on this unique opportunity.
The 2015 Communities in Bloom judging has just been completed with the visit of two judges earli-er this week. We wish to thank Trail Community in Bloom and all the volun-teers who work so diligent-ly to enhance our City in so many ways.
In addition, we would like to thank all the vol-unteers and participants involved in advancing the Garden Contest, the IncrEDIBLE Green Route and the new Community Garden, all of which are in support of enhancing the beauty of our City as well providing support to the food banks.
We wish you all a safe and enjoyable summer and we hope that you take advantage of the many recreational opportunities that our area provides.

From the Trail Creek News in 1895 to the Trail Times in 2015, the venerable local newspaper and its staff (from the left; Liz Bevan, Shannon McIlmoyle,
Sheri Regnier, Jeanine Margoreeth, Kevin Macintyre, Dave Dykstra, Jim Bailey, Michelle Bedford, Lonnie Hart and Guy Bertrand) are celebrating its 120th
anniversary in 2015.
Newspaper grows from humble beginnings in 1895B Y S H E R I R E G N I E R
Times Staff
The source of prosperity of the
Trail Creek county is, of course, its
magnificent ore bodies, according
the first edition of the Trail Creek
News. “Our interests at present
lie centred in and about the noble
structure that is rising foot by foot
on the brow of the hill overhanging
the beautiful town of Trail and of
its growth and magnitude we now
write,” noted the paper's writer and
editor W.F. Thompson on the inau-
gural front page.
The day was Saturday, Oct. 19,
1895 when Volume No. 1 of The
Trail Creek News was hot off the
presses. Under the headline, “This Means
You! When You Patronize the News
You Help Trail Grow,” Thompson
writes that it is now in order for
every citizen of Trail to subscribe
for the home newspaper, The Trail
Creek News, and “the times are
right for such a movement, the
price is right and if the News of
today is not all right, we will make
it right in future issues.”
The price was said to be “cheap”
at $2 per year, and the News office
would be found open all day long
and far into the night, and future
readers were expected to hand in
their subscription at once, so they
would not miss one issue of the
Trail newspaper. “If you want the
news, you must read the News,”
Thompson proclaimed almost 12
decades ago.While there's no silver or gold
commemoration for more than a
century of news reporting, the Trail
Times staff decided an honorary pat
on the back is deserving to all the
people who have typed, pressed,
written, delivered, or simply read
their way into the 120-year history
of the Silver City's only surviving
newspaper.Over the course of the year, we
will actively seek stories from peo-
ple in the Greater Trail commu-
nity such as long time subscribers,
past paper carriers and retired office
workers, who have memories to
share about how the Trail Times has
impacted their lives.See EARLY, Page 3
Celebrating 120 years
Look for our next historical spread on
Wednesday, Aug 19
I recently read a blog about a subject that has long fas-cinated me. It’s that old issue of early versus late.
You know, the battle between the guy who shows up early for a dinner invitation, just as you are entering a critical phase in preparing dinner, and the perpetually late gal who somehow keeps everyone waiting until she can sashay into the room, blow-ing off her tardi-ness with a shrug of her shoulders.
I use the gender refer-ences as exam-ples only — I doubt that either gender can lay claim to superiority on either side of the issue.
In the blog the writer, a female, put forth the argu-ment that chronically late people just can’t stand to waste time waiting, which is what happens when they arrive early. Instead, they get caught up doing other things and the result is they are pretty much later for every-thing.
Hogwash, I say. People who don’t like to waste time can generally arrange their schedule to arrive on time. And there is no more or less energy expended to get to a given place early or late, so I think there have to be other reasons.
In my opinion, chronically late people are simply dis-respectful of others, and of their efforts not to be late. They are making a statement that basically says, “I am more
important than you are,” or, at the very least, “My time is more important than yours.” So it comes down to an ego thing.
Who hasn’t experienced the latecomer, huffing and puffing and putting on a performance as they enter the room, mak-
ing sure everyone knows they have arrived and that they have made a great effort in doing so. Or, as a friend recalled during a recent conversation on the subject, the perpetually late arrival to a pub-lic gathering.
My friend recalled a woman who always arrived late for a church service, then sashayed her way to a seat near the front to make certain that everyone in the congregation could see her, and what she was wearing. “It was a theat-rical performance,” my friend said.
I am, typically, an early arriver. But I don’t show up for the actual appointment too early, because I don’t like inconveniencing others by doing so. Being easily amused, I can always find a way to kill a few minutes by checking my iPhone, people watching or having a subtle meditation session. When I am travelling or expecting to be earlier than necessary, I always carry read-ing material. I never think that I am wasting time, my own or that of others.
The desire to be early is not a practice I arrived at with a conscious decision. I
seem to be hardwired that way. My wife is an on-time person, rarely late and even more rarely early. Given the choice I would probably opt for her approach, but I get antsy when I haven’t set out at a time that virtually guar-antees I will be at an appoint-ment just a touch early. It has its advantages, too.
I always get a good seat in a group setting, which for me means off to the side or back, where I can get a good view of proceedings — I dislike being front and centre almost as much as I hate arriving late.
When I am the one who has arranged an appointment and it is taking place on my turf, I have little patience for those who aren’t on time. My general rule of thumb is 10 minutes, which generally allows for sufficient flexibil-ity for people who have been legitimately delayed.
But if I know the person is a chronic latecomer, I might pare that time down to 5 minutes, at which point I will leave the room and per-haps even the building. Point made, even if the other per-son thinks I have been a jerk about this particular foible.
Like many social issues, the late versus early debate produces a great chasm between the sides and neither seems to be particularly open to the others’ point of view. Personally, I am always will-ing to listen.
Just make sure you are on time if you want to tell me why it’s OK to be late.
Lorne Eckersley is the pub-lisher of the Creston Valley Advance.
Examining the early versus late debate
Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece (“Nestle protest doesn’t hold water” Trail Times, Page 6, July 21).
Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood.
As a representative of WaterWealth I sincerely apolo-gize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck BC dry,” lit-erally and mistook the opening comment for the whole con-versation.
We had not anticipated that,
and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening com-ment to understand the broad-er issues that the petition was about – primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficient-ly funded to be fully imple-mented.
The review of rental rates under the Act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the peti-tion was delivered, is but one more step in the on-going work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the
Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of BC water law in over a century.
Perhaps Mr. Fletcher over-looked that the petition text was “Charge a fair price for Canada’s groundwater! Commit now to review the water rates!” Those rates, ranging from $0.02 to $2.25, apply to some 80 categories of water use.
None of those 80 categor-ies of use can be satisfied with either tap water or a jug from the fridge.

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.
“And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved” (Matt. 10:22).
A follower of Christ will be persecuted, as Jesus tells us today. The persecution will be very great. Jesus says everyone will hate you for his name’s sake. “You will be hated by all for my name’s sake” (Matt. 10:22). A Christian lives very differently from nonbelievers, from the world. He has a completely different way of life, because his whole orientation has changed. Christ has saved him from his sins and liberated him from his past sins and from worry about them. So a Christian is now a free person, freed from the burden of guilt and the need to make reparation to God for his past sins, for Christ has already done that for him on the cross, through his faith in him.
Christians now, therefore, live “no longer for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised” (2 Cor. 5:15). This means that we are now to focus and center our life completely on Christ and seek to love him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30), not dividing our heart with worldly pleasures, but rather serving one master only, not also the plea-sures of the world, for it is impossible to serve two masters. “You cannot serve God and mammon” (Matt. 6:24). But the world does not live this way. The lifestyle of the world is to serve oneself. The Christian, on the other hand, lives an ascetical life, seeking all his delight in the Lord, because he wants to have an undivided heart in his love for him.
One can easily see that this is a perfect setup for con� ict. How is the world going to accept someone who lives so differently from itself? It is not going to accept him very well. The Christian sepa-rates himself from worldly ways, activities, and entertainments. He rejects the lifestyle of the world and pays no attention to it. He lives a simple life, focused on God, in evangelical poverty, devoting himself to God and the service of his neighbor for the love of God, as a way of loving God. And so the world hates him. He is too dif-ferent from it.
This is what worldly people will say about a Christian who lives a
true Christian life: “He became to us a reproof of our thoughts; the very sight of him is a burden to us, because his manner of life is unlike that of others, and his ways are strange. We are considered by him as something base, and he avoids our ways as unclean” (Wis. 2:14-16).
The world will hate us if we live a genuine Christian life, as it hated and cruci� ed Jesus and hated and persecuted St. Paul. “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you ... If they persecuted me, they will persecute you” (John 15:18-20). “I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” (John 17:14).
In fact, we are to consider ourselves blessed when the world hates us for the sake of Christ. “Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets” (Luke 6:22-23). When the world hates us for rejecting its worldly ways, then we know that we are beginning to become a true disciple of Christ, and this is cause for rejoicing.
Such, then, will be the Christian life if it is truly lived. We will be on the margins of the world, bearing witness against it just by the way we live. As the man who discovered the buried treasure in a � eld had to sell all that he had to be able to buy the � eld and so ob-tain the treasure (Matt. 13:44), so we have to do the same to obtain the kingdom of God, to dwell in it and enjoy its blessings. It comes at the price of renouncing everything else, at the cost of rejecting a worldly life and lifestyle.
Living this way will cause us to be persecuted by the world. But this is the Christian life authentically lived. It is a life that is cruci-� ed to the world, and the world to it (Gal. 6:14). So “do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him” (1 John 2:15). Yes, we are to love the world in the sense of trying to save the world, as Christ did (John 3:16), but we are not to love and seek after its unnecessary pleasures that divide our heart from a pure love of God alone with all the love of our heart.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVATICAN CITY - Vancouver Mayor Gregor
Robertson says he’ll return from a two-day Vatican climate conference prepared to pressure the federal government into adopting bold tar-gets for carbon reductions before the upcoming federal election.
Robertson is the only Canadian among 60 global mayors gathered in Rome to promote Pope Francis’ environmental encyclical, which denounced the fossil fuel-based world economy that exploits the poor and destroys the Earth.
Robertson said in a telephone interview from Rome on Tuesday that he met with delegates, listened to a talk from the Pope and signed a declaration that states “human-induced climate change is a scientific reality and its effective con-trol is a moral imperative for humanity.”
The mayor will speak to delegates Wednesday about the economic success Vancouver has seen by greening the city and tackling climate pollu-tion.
“It’s a huge honour to be invited into the Vatican, into the Pope’s presence and have the most important political issues of our time addressed by such a key faith leader,” said Robertson.
Shane Buckingham, media secretary for fed-eral Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq, responded to Robertson’s comments in an email, saying the current government is the first in Canadian history to achieve a net-reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
“We have set a fair and ambitious target for Canada that is in line with other major indus-trialized countries to achieve further emissions reductions leading up to 2030,” he said.
Buckingham said the government’s sector-by-sector approach includes responsible regulatory measures, such as phasing out traditional coal-fired electricity across Canada and making cars and light trucks more fuel efficient.
The Vatican conference comes just months before the scheduled Oct. 19 federal vote and year-end United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris.
Robertson said he and other Canadian mayors have committed to pushing the federal govern-ment to endorse bold targets for carbon reduc-tions at the Paris conference, and they’ll keep their pressure up as Canadians prepared to head to the polls.
“I’ve heard other mayors and governors won-dering where Canada’s leadership is on climate change,” he said. “We’re in the bad books globally. With the Paris negotiations looming, you know, we are not in a useful leadership role globally, so Vancouver’s story is quite the opposite.”
The Pope has become a hero to the environ-mental movement and has used his moral authority and enormous popularity to focus world attention on climate change and its effects on the poor.
Francis’ other main priority has been to raise awareness about human trafficking. The Vatican conference is aimed at showing how both are related: The exploitation of the Earth and its most vulnerable people, with global warming often responsible for creating “environmental refugees” forced to flee homes because of drought or other climate-induced natural disasters.
“He’s a very thoughtful human being,” said Robertson of the Pope. “He’s genuinely commit-ted to tackling the world’s toughest challenges from climate change to global poverty, which are taking a devastating toll.
“He’s connecting the dots between these extraordinary struggles and taking leadership where most of us don’t expect it.”

abdominal fat in par-ticular produced larger numbers of inflamma-tory mediators than other types of fat. In the body, abdominal fat is a fire in our belly.
Obesity – Inflammation – Insulin Resistance
The more over-weight you are, the more inflamed you become and the higher your tendency towards insulin resistance (pre-diabetic and type 2 diabetes). Yet high insulin spurs inflam-mation!
A vicious cycle indeed.
Long term effects of
inflammation include rheumatoid arthritis, coronary artery dis-ease, autoimmune diseases, dementia and diabetes.
Obesity Leads to Brain Inflammation and Low Testosterone Makes it Worse
Low testosterone and obesity are com-

The signs and symptoms of inflammation and weight gain

S u b m i t t e DIt’s the time of year when
many of us enjoy cooking out-doors - in parks, campgrounds and back yards. This pleasur-able summer pastime of casual dining also provides ideal con-ditions for outbreaks of food-borne illness.
Foodborne illness peaks dur-ing the months of May through September because of barbecu-ing and outdoor eating. E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter are examples of some of the many bacteria related to hand-ling raw meats and other per-ishable food items.
Outdoor cooks should keep food safety in mind as they are preparing summer feasts. These four words can reduce the risk:
Clean: Wash your hands with
soap and warm water before and after handling food. Wash all dishes, cutting boards and counters with hot soapy water. A spray bottle containing 1/2 tsp of chlorine bleach per litre of water can be used to sanitize these items.
Separate: Keep raw foods away from cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination. Store raw meat at thebottom of the fridge or cooler to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods. Always use a clean plate when taking cooked meat off the barbeque.
Cook: Properly cooking food will kill harmful bacteria. Cook all meat to the appropri-ate internal temperature - see Health Canada’s Safe Internal Cooking Temperatures chart
(http://www.healthycanadians.gc.ca/eating-nutrition/safety-salubrite/cook-temperatures-cuisson-eng.php) for more details. Use a digital food thermometer to measure the inside temperature of cooked meats. Once cooked, keep hot foods at 60ºC or hotter until ready to serve.
Chill: Always thaw meat in the fridge, microwave, or under cold running water – never at room temperature. Do not let cooked or perishable food sit out in the sun or at room temperature for more than two hours. Cool any leftovers right away. Finally, keep cold foods cold at 4ºC or lower.

S u b m i t t e dA competitive contingent
of Trail Track and Field Club athletes competed at the Jack Brow Memorial Meet in Kelowna, alongside over 500 competitors from around BC, Alberta and, internationally, from Australia.
The Trail Track team per-formed well in extreme heat and achieved many personal best performances.
In the nine-year-old girls category, Ella Phillips-Frisk bested a field of seven ath-letes to take home the gold medal in long jump. Phillips-Frisk also earned a bronze medal in 60-metre hurdles, fourth place ribbon in 100m sprint, sixth place ribbon in 60m sprint, fifth place ribbon in the 600m run and seventh place ribbon for Shot Put.
Ayla Ferguson, competing in the 10-year-old girls cat-egory, finished just off of the podium in fourth place for the 60m hurdles. Ferguson also brought home a sixth place ribbon for long jump and a seventh place ribbon for high jump, and finished ninth in the 60m race with a personal best time of 10.92 seconds.
In the 11-year-old girls category, Jendaya Shields took the fourth place ribbon in 60m hurdles with Maya Amantea and Sadie Joyce tying for the seventh place ribbon. In the 60m sprint event Joyce captured the silver medal and Amantea earned the fifth place rib-bon. Amantea also put in a personal best performance to bring home the seventh place ribbon for the 600m run in a time of 2:20.21, and just missed a ribbon finishing in ninth place for the 100m race. In the long jump, with a large field of 21 competitors, Joyce jumped her way to a sil-ver medal with Shields taking home the 8th place ribbon.
The throwing events saw Shields best the field by 4.92m to earn the gold medal in the javelin, with Sadie col-lecting the fourth place rib-bon. Shields also took home the bronze medals for shot put and discus. Sadie was the fourth place finisher in the 100-m sprint shortly after earning the silver medal in high jump. Season's best per-formances at this meet have Shields provincially ranked second for javelin, sixth for
discus and ninth for shot put, and have Joyce ranked at fifth for high jump and eighth in 60m sprint.
Ava Farias had several per-sonal best performances in the 12-year-old girls category bringing home three fifth place ribbons in 80m hurdles, shot put and javelin, as well as earning the eighth place
ribbon in long jump with a mark of 3.63m.
The 12-year-old boys cat-egory saw Finley Kinghorn bring home a quartet of med-als. Kinghorn bested the sil-ver medalists by 8.85m to take the gold medal in ham-mer throw, and by 2.92m to win gold in the shot put. Silver medals in the javelin and discus, as well as a sev-enth place ribbon in the long jump were also in Finley's hands by the end of the meet.
Annika Ford competed for her first time ever and took 10th place in the 13-year-old girls long jump event with a personal best jump of 3.54m.
Perennial team favourite, Don Currie, competed in the Masters section of competi-tion. The impressive 81-year-old athlete won gold medals in four events. He raced his way to wins in the 200m sprint in a time of 42.19 seconds, the 100m in 19.46 seconds, and the 400m in 1.40.39 seconds. He also won the 3000m Race Walk event in a time of 23:03.37. Currie is currently ranked second nationally in the 100m, first in the 200m, 400m and 3000m race walk.

Impressive results at Jack Brow Meet
b y t i m e S S t a f fAlthough Fruitvale’s Ella Matteucci has
yet to see action with the Canadian women’s baseball team at the Pan Am Games, she is assured to be bringing home a medal.
The women’s team defeated Puerto Rico 3-2 Wednesday for its third straight win and guarantee them at least a bronze medal in the tournament.
The team trailed for most of the game until Edmonton’s Nicole Luchanski led the
comeback with two-out, two-run double in the bottom of the sixth inning. Canadian catcher Stephanie Savoie was helped off the field after colliding with a Puerto Rican player to record the final out of the game.
Meanwhile, Rossland’s Thea Culley and the Canadian women’s field hockey team will be playing for a bronze medal today when they take on Chile.
Canada dropped a 3-0 decision to the United States on Wednesday in the semifinal game.
In other Pan Am Games news from Wednesday, vaunted Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse claimed the gold medal in the 100m in a time of 10.05 seconds.
The 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., narrowly beat Ramon Gittens Barbados, who finished in 10.07.

Friday’s gamesCalgary at Ottawa, 7 p.m.Toronto at B.C., 10 p.m.
Toronto Maple Leafs pulled off the stunner of the off-season, hir-ing Lou Lamoriello as their new general manager.
Lamoriello spent 27 seasons as GM of the New Jersey Devils before stepping down in May. That’s the longest tenure of any GM in NHL history.
The 72-year-old Hockey Hall of Famer has three Stanley Cups on his resume, and the Devils made the final in 2012. But New Jersey missed the playoffs the past three years, leading to Ray Shero replacing Lamoriello as GM.
Toronto had been without a GM since president Brendan Shanahan fired Dave Nonis after the Leafs missed the playoffs for the second straight year. The Leafs have just one post-season appearance since the 2004-05 lockout, a first-round loss to the Boston Bruins in 2013.
Shanahan left open the possibility of GM by committee with himself, Kyle Dubas, Mark Hunter and Brandon Pridham all having a say. Even with Lamoriello, that kind of collaborative environment could still exist, with new coach Mike Babcock also in the mix.
In Lamoriello,
the Leafs get veteran experience and some-one who has the rela-tionships around the league that could benefit in trade talks. It’s unclear what his precise duties will be.
Over the past few months, Hunter was in charge of scouting and drafting and Dubas trades, with Shanahan overseeing the entire operation.
And it has been a busy time. Already this summer the Leafs traded star winger Phil Kessel to the Pittsburgh Penguins, the first blow to a core that has only one play-off appearance.
Lamoriello’s hir-
ing is the latest piece of an organizational makeover. Toronto also gave Babcock a US$50-million, eight-year contract as coach.
Babcock is used to working with a sea-soned GM from his time in Detroit with Ken Holland. Like Holland’s Red Wings, Lamoriello’s Devils made the playoffs a regularity, going 21 times since the 1987-88 season.
“I have worked with Hall-of-Fame coaches, and players and a great staff, all of whom con-tributed to our suc-cess,” Lamoriello said in a statement released by the Devils. “In the
end, it’s about the people which makes this decision so diffi-cult.”
When Shero took over as Devils GM, Lamoriello said in May that it was “the per-fect time” for someone else to replace him. Acknowledging the need “to be realistic in life” and honest about the organization’s dir-ection, he ceded duties to Shero.
Now he’s in charge of the Leafs, who haven’t won a Cup since 1967. Shanahan and Babcock have committed to a long-term plan to contend beyond just making the playoffs.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SAs summer temperatures -
and utility bills - rise, there are some easy ways to keep cool that are cheaper and greener than air conditioning.
A little savvy about when to open windows and when to keep them closed with curtains drawn goes a long way toward cooling a home, as does put-ting thought into what cooling appliances to use and when, the experts say.
*****COOLING CURTAINS
Pull down the shades or draw the curtains on windows facing south, east and west during the day, says Con Edison, which provides power to New York City and surrounding areas.
It says 40 per cent of unwant-ed heat comes in through the windows.
Even if air conditioning is needed later in the day, drawing the curtains earlier means you can use less of it.
“And it’s better to shade the outside of the window than the inside,” said Abigail Daken, cooling products man-ager for Washington, D.C.-based
Energy Star, an Environmental Protection Agency program that helps businesses and individuals save money and protect the cli-mate through energy efficiency.
“Shutters and awnings are very effective,” Daken said.
*****GET IN THE FLOW
When outdoor temper-atures fall below 70 degrees, the Natural Resources Defence Council recommends turn-ing off the air conditioner and opening the windows instead.
In climates with low to mod-erate humidity, where it’s cold in the evening, a “whole-house” fan to help draw cool air in through windows and force hot air out through upstairs vents is extremely helpful, Daken explained.
“A cheaper version is to open the windows and use the bath-room fan for exhaust, especially if there’s no cross breeze,” she said.
“This helps create some flow.”
*****BE A FAN OF FANS
Ceiling fans are a great sub-stitute for air conditioning when
it’s not overly hot or humid, and they make you feel cooler by moving air across your skin, says Meg Waltner, of the Natural Resources Defence Council.
If you need to buy fans, look for Energy Star ratings and rebate offers, she said.
Also, many ceiling fans fea-ture a light kit, so make sure each socket has an energy-sav-ing LED bulb inside. LED bulbs use five times less energy than the old incandescents and don’t give off as much heat, Waltner says.
*****PLANT A TREE
A tree is as sophisticated as any electronic device around, conservationists say. It lets sun through in winter and grows sun-blocking leaves in summer.
Large deciduous trees plant-ed on the east, west and north-west sides of your home create shade from the hot summer sun and can reduce summer air conditioning costs by up to 35 per cent, according to the Arbor Day Foundation, a non-profit Nebraska-based conservation group.
*****
AVOID HEAT-PRODUCING APPLIANCES
Con Edison recommends minimizing the use of house-hold appliances when temper-atures climb.
Summer is a great time to opt for outdoor grilling and foods that don’t require cook-ing. Washers, dryers and dish-washers should be used at night, when temperatures are cooler, the utility says.
*****WHEN YOU DO USE AIR
CONDITIONERS...... be sure they’re Energy
Star-certified, have program-mable thermostats, and are set no lower than 78 degrees when you’re around, 80 when you’re away for part of the day, and “off” when you’re on vacation, Waltner says.
Programmable thermostats can cut power use by 20 per cent to 30 per cent, she says. Many power companies offer free programmable thermostats to clients, and it’s worth check-ing their websites for offers and rebates.
“Raising the temperature by 7 degrees when no one is home,
4 degrees at bedtime, along with proper programming during the winter, can save you more than $180 every year,” according to Daken, of Energy Star.
Make sure windows are well-sealed to keep cool air from leaking out.
And don’t cool an empty room: Block vents in unused rooms and turn the system off entirely while you’re away.
Keeping central air condi-tioner filters clean adds to their efficiency.
Air conditioners and cooling systems should be inspected and cleaned annually, and kept clear of leaves and dirt, experts say.
“We recommend that filters be checked every three months, or more often for homes with pets,” Daken said.
If your AC is more than 12 years old, replacing it with an Energy
Star-qualified model could cut your annual cooling costs by 30 per cent, Waltner says. Many local utility companies offer rebates for more efficient new models.

T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SMADRID - The heat is on, and a Spanish
town is taking its afternoon siesta seriously.Every summer day in Ador, a small farm-
ing town in eastern Spain, a policeman reads out a town hall proclamation recommending that locals observe the traditional siesta period between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
The advice, given over a loudspeaker system, encourages people to keep children indoors and turn down the volume of TV sets and music equipment.
Mayor Joan Faus told The Associated Press on Friday that locals are not legally required to observe the siesta period.
But he said the town hall strongly recom-mends they stay indoors because “at that time of day it is dangerous to be outside” because of the summer heat.
Spain has endured two heat waves already in July, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in many areas in the region.
In the region of Ador, which has some 1,400 inhabitants, the summer heat is often unbear-able, Faus said.
“From 11 a.m. onwards you can’t be in the street or out in the field,” he said.
“All you can see are snakes and lizards and other nasty creatures. The heat is suffocating.”
The siesta, or afternoon nap, is a famous Spanish tradition, though the custom has largely been lost in major cities. In the country-side, however, it is still common, especially in summer.
Faus said town authorities and other nearby municipalities have been issuing the recom-mendations for years.
Beyond air conditioning: savvy, economical ways to keep your home cool in summer
Spanish town’s summer advice: don’t skip your afternoon siesta as temperatures climb
Leisure
Dear Annie: I am 62 years old and have been married to “Clyde” for 12 years. We do not have a sexual rela-tionship. He prefers to sleep on the sofa and always has, saying it’s more comfort-able.
Clyde had a horrible childhood. He told me that his mother had sex with var-ious men in his presence. On the weekends, he would stay with his paternal grand-parents, where he witnessed his uncle abusing his aunt. His grandmother is the only one who showed him any love, and while there, he slept on the sofa.
Prior to meeting my hus-band, I contracted herpes. I am allergic to latex so sex is always a risk. He knew this prior to our marriage and things were OK then. But after we married, sex became infrequent, partly due to his erectile dysfunc-tion. He informed me that I was no longer attractive to him because I had gained weight (so has he) and he fears getting herpes.
I don’t know what to do. Clyde is moody and I some-times feel that I’m walk-ing on eggshells. He can
acknowledge that he is diffi-cult, but he doesn’t change. We love each other and share a fairly comfortable life, but I miss an intimate relationship. Clyde will not go to counseling. In fact, he dislikes speaking of our problems in the bedroom and becomes so angry that I once put my feelings in a letter. He tore it up without reading it. Any advice? -- Missing My Husband
Dear Missing: Clyde’s background indicates a lot of unresolved issues about sex and intimacy, but if he refuses to address them, there is little you can do to change how he responds. However, you can get coun-seling for yourself. A good counselor will help you focus on what’s important to you and decide what is
best for you, including ways to cope with the situation you have with less frustra-tion.
Dear Annie: “Good Daughter” said her mother endlessly stole the limelight. I’ve observed the exact same behavior in both my hus-band’s mother and mine, and it seems to have started in their 70s. I wondered if it had to do with them fighting the feeling of being invisible or irrelevant in their fami-lies’ lives.
As I transition into the empty-nest phase of life, I’m beginning to get a glimpse of what it feels like to go from being the center (and coordinator) of all family activities into a much less active role in my kids’ lives, and I’m sure it will be even more pronounced over time.
We all need to feel need-ed. In our younger years, we race through our busy lives. Once we reach our senior years, all of these connec-tions and obligations fade. We need others to validate that we still matter. While this doesn’t make it any more pleasant to observe the redirection of every con-versation, a little perspective
might encourage more tol-erance. -- Patient Daughter
Dear Patient: While we aren’t sure that applies to all cases (many people are self-absorbed from child-hood on), we agree that the sense that one is invisible and unimportant can push people to assert themselves this way. Thank you for
providing a plea for under-standing.

For Saturday, July 25, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Small appliances might break down today, or minor breakages could occur. Family arguments might break out. Your only recourse is patience. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is an accident-prone day, so pay attention to every-thing you say and do. Expect the unexpected. Slow down and take it easy. Do not be hasty. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Today, you might find money or you might lose money. Guard your posses-sions against loss or theft, because something unpre-dictable could affect your wealth and assets. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You feel restless and impul-sive today. You want the free-dom to do your own thing. If someone bosses you around, you will rebel. Keep in mind
the power of courtesy and patience. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a restless day for you -- for sure. Something going on behind the scenes is a dis-traction for you. My advice is to slow down and take it easy. Chill out. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might have an argu-ment with someone, espe-cially in a group, today. Competitive sports and phys-ical activities are accident-prone, so be careful. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) This is a poor day to be pushy with an authority figure (parent, boss or the police). Things will not turn out the way you expect! Don’t overreact if someone catches you off guard. Be cool. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Travel plans almost cer-tainly will change today. Likewise, plans related to higher education, medicine
and the law suddenly might go off course. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Check your bank account and stay on top of financial matters, because something unexpected could influence negotiations about shared property, inheritances and insurance. Expect the unex-pected. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You might quarrel with
someone close to you today, because you feel independent and rebellious, and you don’t want anyone telling you what to do. (Actually, everyone feels this way today.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Computer crashes, can-celed meetings, power outag-es, fire drills and staff short-ages are just some of the reasons your work day will go sideways in a New York minute. Allow extra time for
wiggle room. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is an accident-prone day for your kids, so be vigi-lant. This also applies to those of you who work with chil-dren -- know where they are at all times. YOU BORN TODAY You have high ideals, and you are noble and honorable -- a clas-sic Leo. You have a wonderful imagination and an appre-ciation (and often a talent) for
the arts. This is a testing year of growth and building. This growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet; wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead. Birth date of: Illeana Douglas, actress; Maxfield Parrish, artist; Heather Marks, model. (c) 2015 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Visitors to Millenium Park may have noticed four bundles of logs jammed on the opposite shore of the Columbia River over the past week.
The logs escaped the Interfor Sawmill over a week ago, during a storm.
“[They] broke free from their pens—some cables broke—and they went down river,” explains Andrew Horahan, regional general
manager of Interior operations at Interfor.
Plans are underway to retrieve the logs and return them to the sawmill.
“We’re just working on a strat-egy today to make sure we can
get them safely,” Horahan said on Monday. “
It’s difficult to send boats down-river and try to toe them back upstream, and we have to wait for the right conditions to ensure the safety of our crews on the boats.”
