Council looks to curb spendingNanaimo offi cials will make details surrounding pending core review available to residents DARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo city councillors are getting ready to roll up their sleeves to find exactly where city hall spending can be reined in.
A new page on the city of Nanaimo website signals to tax-payers services to the public are about to be made more efficient.
But for now, viewers will find mainly background information to define what a core review is and its general goals.
That will change soon as a spe-
cial review committee, made up of the entire city council, moves into high gear.
The last meeting of the Special Open Core Services Review Steering Committee was in June. The agenda and related information can be found on the core review page, available at http://bit.ly/1InLjKQ.
Later this month the committee will meet again to nail down the terms for a request for proposals for a consultant to do the actual core review work.
With government agencies under increasing pressure to control taxes, core reviews are an increasingly popular tool to find ways to stretch budget dollars further.
“It doesn’t mean cut, slash and burn, it means being more imaginative,” said Mayor Bill McKay, for whom core review was a central plank of his elec-tion campaign.
“It’s making sure you have the right people in the right place to do the work.”
In February city council voted in favour of a core review and put a freeze on new services until the review is complete.
Council has since received numerous spending requests.
Supt. Mark Fisher, chief of the Nanaimo RCMP, recently appeared before council to remind councillors of existing, unmet staffing needs.
Fisher told council that ris-ing mental health cases use up precious police time, as do the ever-mounting paperwork
requirements of modern police duties.
McKay said more mental healthworkers and a phased-in hiring approach could relieve some of that pressure.
“Do we have to think outside the box? I would suggest we do,” McKay said.
The review won’t likely take effect until 2017.

Restrictions vary among jurisdictions in Nanaimo and the mid-Island regionROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
The dry spell continues with no end in sight on Vancouver Island, with parts of the Island under strict
water conservation measures until it ends.
Watering restrictions are intended to ensure that all Island residents receive an adequate supply of water throughout the summer months and that suffi-cient reserve supplies are avail-able should they be needed for emergency fire-fighting.
But the water restriction lev-els differs from community to community, depending on the condition of each of their water supplies.
The Regional District of Nanaimo and the City of Parks-ville have been operating under Level 4 water restrictions, the toughest in B.C., since early July. The City of Nanaimo is operating under Level 2 water restrictions.
The water reserves for the RDN and Parksville rely on local rivers, which are at extremely low levels mainly because of the reduced snowpack in the area’s mountain regions.
Fred Manson, Parksville’s chief administrative officer, said when the Level 4 restrictions were implemented that it was a possi-bility the community could run completely out of water by the end of August if consumption levels were not dramatically reduced.
But Nanaimo’s water source is the Jump Lake reservoir, which does not rely on rivers fed by snowpack runoff as in Parks-ville and much of the regional district.
Bill Sims, Nanaimo’s water resources manager, said last week that the city’s water supply at Jump Lake is now 78 per cent full. Given the storage level and the corresponding level of con-sumption, the city is confident there is sufficient water storage to last into November.
But Geoff Goodall, Nanaimo’s director of engineering and public works, said that as a pre-caution while the drought lasts, Level 2 restrictions have been
imposed on all residents who are on the city’s water system.
The Level 2 restrictions limit garden and lawn watering to two days a week, with an all-out ban on washing driveways and park-ing lots, and only limited times when vehicle or boat washing is allowed.
The Level 4 water restrictions in the RDN and Parksville are more severe, imposing a com-plete ban on the watering of lawns.
Hand-watering of vegetables, shrubs, trees and flowers is allowed with a watering contain-er or a hose with a shut-off nozzle at certain times of the day. There is a full ban in the RDN and Parksville on washing vehicles and boats, as well as sidewalks, driveways, parking lots and buildings.
City of Nanaimo water resources manager Bill Sims reminds residents that the city is currently operating under Level 2 water restrictions, while the Regional District of Nanaimo and Parksville are at Level 4. [ROSS AMOUR/DAILY NEWS]

COMMUNITY SAFETY
Dry weather adds to challenges for fi re crewsJULIE CHADWICK DAILY NEWS
It was a busy weekend for Nanaimo Fire Rescue, which responded to nine fires in the
city over a 96-hour period.In addition to the incidents,
which included structure fires, a bush fire and landscape fires, firefighters responded to 57 medical aid calls, six assist-ant calls and 10 motor vehicle incidents.
It’s all part of a summer in which nothing can be predicted and record-high temperatures have left both wilderness and the suburban areas tinder-dry.
Saturday’s fires were particu-larly challenging as it stretched firefighters to their limits, said Martin Drakeley, assistant chief at the Nanaimo Fire Rescue department.
“It’s an anomaly when we get this type of dry weather. That was almost a perfect storm because we had dense housing, where the houses were built close together, they’re built on quite a slope, you’ve got the wind from the downward side blowing up and you’ve got houses made from flammable material. So as the one house burns it runs up the grass — we call them ladder fuels — into the trees, it catches the all other buildings on fire and gets the decks going,” said Drakeley.
“It’s one of those things where if the crews aren’t there quick enough it turns into quite a conflagration.”
Within an hour of a house fire breaking our on Jesters Way near Departure Bay beach, which proceeded to spread to neighbouring houses, another structure fire started across town on Cosgrove Crescent.
“When something like that happens it’s kind of an all hands-on-deck situation and we need to use all four stations from the city, so we’re leaving the city somewhat unguarded at that point,” said Drakeley.
With limited manpower, local firefighters make up for having
both less staff and a higher call volume than many other similar-sized municipalities by adopting a “swiss army knife” approach, he added.
This means having firefight-ers that are trained in many areas and who are skilled at multi-tasking.
“They get the job done when the job needs to be done, because they know the importance of get-ting ahead of it,” said Drakeley.
H returned to the scene on Tuesday to survey the damage with a crew that included cap-tain Peter Hyne.
“Everyone’s got to understand,
it’s tinder dry out here and it doesn’t take much,” said Hyne.
The cause of the fire on Jesters Way remains under investigation.

Island Natural gets a new nameROBERT BARRON DAILY NEWS
Island Natural Markets has a new name and new owners.
The natural food store on Metral Drive is now called Pom-me Natural Market and is owned by a group of Victoria-based business people who also operate two other Pomme Natural Mar-ket stores in Port Coquitlam and Vancouver.
Co-owner Craig Hermanson said Pomme Natural Market is a new “natural grocery experi-ence” that sells the widest selec-tion of natural and organic food in the region.
He said the store also caters to those who have food sensitiv-
ities such as gluten intolerance, dairy intolerance or are avoiding sugar.
Hermanson said the profes-sional staff at Pomme Natural Market provide options for those that follow precise dietary paths, including vegan and vegetarian diets.
He said the store also has accessories to help people grow and cook their own food, health supplements to augment a family’s nutrition, and an entire section with eco-friendly lifestyle products.
“The easiest way to think of Pomme Natural Market is the same as a grocery store, but with all of our products natural and
organic, and we also offer help and advice to assist people with their health problems,” said Hermanson.
“Our store concept is rather unique and not currently wide spread, but it’s a growing market and we’re looking to open more stores on the Island and the Lower Mainland as opportunities arise.”
Hermanson said Pomme Natur-al Market just recently took over Island Natural Markets so the old signs on the store will likely remain until the fall.

Gabriolans oppose freighter ideaPacifi c Pilotage Authority wants to add anchorages off island for massive ships going to VancouverDARRELL BELLAART DAILY NEWS
Gabriola Islanders are resisting a move to anchor massive freighters off their island.
The Pacific Pilotage Authority, a Crown corporation responsible for freighter movement in coast-al B.C., is considering putting five anchorages for vessels await-ing access the port of Vancouver just off of Gabriola.
“A lot of people are personally effected, with sight, sound or air
pollution,” said Ted Fullerton. “I love this place, and I hate what’s happening.”
Many others share his concern.Five years ago the agency start-
ed a review of anchorages in the southern Gulf Islands where lar-ger vessels can idle, often several days, awaiting their turn at port.
The agency needs to accommo-date a greater volume of much larger ships at anchorages in Cowichan Bay, Plumper Sound and Ladysmith Harbour.
“Those anchorages were designated in the 1960s, when ships were between 150 and 180 metres,” said Kevin Ober-meyer, CEO of the authority.
“Now, we’re looking at 300 metres, for the coal ships, and grain ships are 225 metres.”
At Cowichan Bay, eight anchor-ages became six, further from shore. Similar changes were made at Plumper Sound and Ladysmith Harbour. Gabriola recently learned they’re on the
list, with the PPA proposing to string anchorages from Sandwell Park to near Silva Bay. Fullerton said he’ll take his fight to B.C. Supreme Court. Residents have planned a flotilla for Sunday at 4 p.m. to raise awareness.
“The whole northeast coast of Gabriola Island will be a parking lot for freighters,” said Franz Gigl, a spokesman for the grassroots organization Gabriola AnchorRage.
PPA has cancelled a public
meeting planned for early Sep-tember on Gabriola Island due to delays in getting environmental information from the Depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans.
“I said to everybody, I want them to have 90 days to review the information,” Obermeyer said. “To be clear, it is not a fait accompli.”

It’s taken too long to get to this point but things finally appear to be on track.
As we reported, Nanaimo city council is going to take a good, hard look at how your money is spent, via a core review.
A new web page on the city of Nanaimo website signals to taxpayers services to the pub-lic are about to be made more efficient.
A special review committee, made up of the entire council, will meet again later this month, to finalize the terms for a request for proposals for a consultant to do the actual review work.
This corner has been on record many times before as agreeing with the notion of a core review for this city.
We noted that one of the main rationales for such a process is a distinct lack of trust from the community toward previous regimes, both out front and behind the scenes.
If transparency truly is a goal, then the easiest way to start is with a full core review.
Earlier this year, we asked an
expert in the field (Bill Reid, a senior director of advisory services through audit and accounting firm MNP, who has completed several reviews with governments across Canada) about the process, and he said the city should plan carefully how it intends to approach the exercise before launching into the process.
Smartly, they appear to have done that.
Again, critics of the process are quick to point out its cost, plus the “unspoken” notion that they are simply going to be used as a guide to cut services.
But at this point, a $100,000 expenditure on a core review (when you’re dealing with a budget of $200 million or so), given the mistrust and potential
savings, is well worth it. Any bureaucracy is going to
have some excess.At a time where people and
businesses across the country are forced to do more with less, it seems only practical the city, spending your money, does the same. In February, when councillors voted in favour of a core review, they put a freeze on new services until the review is complete.
That was also a prudent move, although they will no doubt be inundated with spending requests, meaning the process should move smoothly and quickly.
The review reportedly won’t take effect until 2017. It would be nice if that timeline could be moved up.
At this point, council appears prepared to look at everything, which is a must.
“It doesn’t mean cut, slash and burn, it means being more imaginative,” Mayor Bill McKay told the Daily News.
“It’s making sure you have the right people in the right place to do the work . . . Do we have to think outside the box? I would suggest we do.”
McKay is right. The same old, same old approach, relying too heavily on contributions from already-squeezed taxpayers, won’t cut it anymore. A much closer look is needed to find us more cash.

Council debates need to be passionate, fi ery
Re: ‘Council to get aid of medi-ator’ (Daily News, July 9)
I too am continually angered like the mayor about council inad-equacies; but by those who feel an entitlement to taxpayer’s money and throw a tantrum when it is not easily relinquished.
Some on council to the self-pro-claimed business leaders and special interest groups are the real troublemakers that a facilitator needs to put in the spotlight and tighten the noose on. If this is why we’re wasting $50,000 on a facilita-tor, then so be it.
The prescription for running a good democratic government is debate.
And when it involves about $200 million for council to dis-tribute each year, I do not mind passion and some temper at the council table. It stops the rats from taking over the ship.
There are 89,000 people in our city but you would not know it when it comes to those lined up for taxpayer goodies and those politicians only too happy to oblige.
Arguing, raising your voice and pointing fingers surely beats the guns and tanks that are used in some countries to force the wishes of a few on the masses.
The in-fighting in Nanaimo just means there is passion, conviction and some on council who do not want the city to roll over into a dictatorship.
I have to thank councillors Bill Bestwick, Gord Fuller, Jim Kipp, Bill Yoachim and Jerry Hong, and ask them to continue the fight and not bow to whatever roadblocks and pressure is thrown in their way.

Dams action group sets safety as top priority
Re: ‘Mounties on hand at council meeting’ (Daily News, July 31)
As president of Dams Direct Action Group, I want to reassure the public that our policy very strictly precludes any violence or damage to any property. We are acting to protect the park, not damage it.
In addition, we cultivate a har-monious relationship with the RCMP. We welcome their presence on site as they generally act as peacekeepers.
My first priority is to keep every-one safe. Many of our protesters are senior citizens and although indomitable in spirit, are physical-ly fragile.
Finally, we remind everyone that civil disobedience is legal, until such time that a court order is disobeyed.

Claim to stewardship of economy up for debate
A regular letters to the editor writer espouses the Harper gov-ernment to be the steward of the economy.
He failed to mention Stephen Harper abandoned Canada in December 2008 during the peak of the world financial crisis and prorogued parliament because he failed to recognize and respond to the situation and faced a vote of non-confidence and party defeat.
Global and national economists agreed Canada’s economy was saved by stiff banking regulations imposed more than two decades earlier (by that darned liberal government).
Jay AllanNanaimo
Mixed messages from Tories about spending
Sadly, the federal government refuses to spend funds to help
house the homeless but they have no trouble giving tax money to millionaires to spruce up their homes, condos and cottages.
While these grants may create some jobs, much of this work would get done without govern-ment handouts. Building accom-modations for the homeless, on the other hand, is a guaranteed job creator. Plus it would probably pay for itself in reduced social, medic-al and policing costs. To subsidize some people’s second homes and terraced gardens, before every-body has a roof over their head, is wrong.
First the Conservative govern-ment makes it difficult for the homeless to vote and now they ignore the homeless when giving away housing related funds.
Does Mr. Harper really believe Canadians are so selfish and mean spirited that giving to the rich, and stiffing the poor, will get him re-elected?

Nanaimo spa marks grand opening in city’s north end
A new spa has opened in Nanaimo’s north end.
Spa in the Pines, located at 6135 Metral Dr. in the Wood-grove Pines Clinic complex, held its grand opening last week.
Spokeswoman Laura Body said the spa specializes in a number of areas, including nail services, body waxing, tinting of eyebrows and eye lashes and therapeutic massages.
She said the spa also has an infrared sauna that uses infrared heat to provide a number of dif-ferent health benefits, including providing more pain relief for muscles and tendons than a nor-mal sauna, and detoxifying the body through sweating.
“The new spa fits in well with the overall health services offered in the Woodgrove Pinse Clinic,” Body said.

HOMELESSNESS
Mayors willing to tent out on Parliament HillROSS ARMOUR DAILY NEWS
Homelessness is an issue that exists in the majority of Island communities — and one elected official has a plan to take it to Ottawa’s front yard.
Victoria’s Mayor Lisa Helps has a plan to email every mayor in Canada to see if they would be willing to set up a tent on Par-liament Hill during the election campaign to highlight the home-lessness problem.
“I would,” said Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay. “The federal govern-ment has pretty much gotten out of the game at the street level, but we know it’s still a problem. And I’m not just talking about people on the street, there’s folk in sub-standard housing that struggle too. I’m talking about the working poor.”
McKay says he’s aware of a lot of communities where homeless-ness is a problem but believes it’s one the city is proactive in dealing with, such as through its partnership with B.C. Housing to continue to provide low barrier housing.
The city is planning an official homelessness count early in 2016 and social planner John Horn estimated there was between 200 and 300 homeless people liv-ing in Nanaimo. Horn said 562 people used an emergency shel-ter in Nanaimo in 2014.
Parksville Mayor Marc Lefebvre isn’t against Helps’ idea, but “doesn’t think it will mean anything.”
He says it’s “concrete steps” that are needed, a lot of which he believes occur in his city.
“To give you an example, the Parksville and District Associ-ation for Community Living has just purchased a building and they’re going to look at providing space in that building for those who need temporary shelter,” said Lefebvre.
“The fact of the matter is, these people live in our communities but yes you can ask the fed-eral government for financial support.”

Russia Arctic claim heightens tension MURRAY BREWSTER THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Russia’s new bid for a vast swath of Arctic territory, including the North Pole, backs Canada into an uncomfortable corner in future negotiations over the frozen region, a defence expert says.
Moscow’s revised international submission was revealed Tues-day in a statement by the coun-try’s foreign ministry and claims 1.2 million square kilometres of the Arctic shelf.
Russia, the U.S., Canada, Den-mark and Norway are working with the UN to define jurisdic-tional boundaries in the Arctic, which is thought to hold as much as a quarter of the planet’s undiscovered oil and gas. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea allows all coastal nations to extend their jurisdiction beyond 200 nautical miles as long as it can proven the boundary is a natural extension.
In late 2013, the Harper govern-ment ordered officials to rewrite Canada’s Arctic claim to include the North Pole and more survey work is taking place this sum-mer before Ottawa submits the document.
Rob Huebert of the University of Calgary says Prime Minister Stephen Harper should make clear whether Canada is even-tually willing to negotiate with Russia where claims intersect.
A translated version of the sub-mission, released by the Russian Embassy in Ottawa, says the two countries had previously agreed to allow the UN commission overseeing the issue to evaluate and rule on the quality of the hydrographic research “without
prejudice to the rights of the other state.”
The commission’s determin-ation should also not impede a final boundary decision, the 36-page report said.
That means the two sides and possibly Denmark which has already filed its claim to the North Pole, will have thrash out the issue.
In its pitch, Russia states clearly it willing to abide by the results of the international process.
Huebert says the Harper gov-ernment has taken a tough line on Russia’s annexation of Cri-mea and the questions that need to be asked are when does Can-ada re-engage diplomatically and
whether that would signal de facto acceptance of the situation in Ukraine.
“It is Canada’s interest to have a safe and stable Arctic,” Huebert said in an interview on Tuesday. “Entering into negotia-tions could leave the impression that it is back to business as usual.”
Canada’s strident rhetoric and recent use of the Arctic Council as a platform to hammer Russia over the Ukraine crisis will make it difficult to climb down, Hue-bert suggested.
But he said negotiations, which are expected within the next five years, will have to take place, regardless of the situation in Ukraine.

Names seem to count on the campaign trailTHE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Call political lead-ers what you will — especially when they interrupt summer vacation — but the debate Tues-day seemed all about what they call each other.
Justin or Trudeau? Tom or Thomas? Prime minister or Con-servative leader?
And they say an election cam-paign isn’t the time to discuss serious issues.
“I think I use that sometimes, and sometimes I don’t,” a bemused-looking Stephen Harp-er said Tuesday when asked about his predilection of late for referring to the Liberal leader by his first name.
“That’s how, in our experience, Canadians generally refer to him because that’s how the Liberal party has branded him.”
Conservative officials happily provided unsolicited proof, circu-lating photos of Trudeau in front of a banner displaying his web address: justin.ca.
The Liberal leader, who was in Mississauga to unveil his campaign bus, shrugged off the name game as a sideshow as he unleashed another broadside against his Conservative rival’s economic record.
“We have a time right now when the economy is strug-gling, when we’re sliding into recession, where Mr. Harper has shown time and time again that his plan of helping the wealthi-est Canadians is not working to grow this economy,” Trudeau said.
The centrepiece of Harper’s campaign so far came Tuesday in as a retooled renovation tax cred-it — permanent, unlike in 2009, but applicable to only $5,000 of eligible costs, instead of $10,000 — worth $1.5 billion a year.
“Young parents renovated rooms as nurseries, empty-nest-ers converted rooms for other uses, older Canadians made changes to remain independent in their own homes,” Harper said during an event in Toronto.
“The renovation tax credit helps every homeowner, regard-less of income. I know Justin Trudeau doesn’t think every family deserves help, but we do.”
After a brief, campaign debut on the weekend that included no question-and-answer ses-sion, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair resurfaced Tuesday in Quebec.
He was happy to answer quer-ies — including about his name.
“If I’m with my family or long-term friends, I’ve always been Tommy,” he said.
Mulcair was less amused when asked about Trudeau — “the leader of the third party,” he called him — dismissing the NDP’s proposed $15 minimum wage as a “mirage” that wouldn’t apply to 99 per cent of min-imum-wage workers in Canada.
“I’m not too sure what that word is supposed to mean, but maybe he could start sharing with us his plan, because nobody knows it,” Mulcair said.
“I want to be a champion for manufacturing. I want to kick-start the economy. I want to start creating full-time, well-paid jobs.”
“That’s how, in our experience, Canadians generally refer to him because that’s how the Liberal party has branded him.”

Tot found dead in hotel died of natural causes
British Columbia’s coroners’ service says a toddler found dead in a Victoria hotel room last month died of natural causes.
The service says 18-month-old Saam Zohrevand — also known as Saam Darya — developed both a lung infection and bacterial meningitis.
Victoria Police responded on July 18 to reports of a distraught woman screaming in a down-town hotel.
They arrived to discovered a child without vital signs.
Police said they had spoken twice with the mother the day before the incident after receiv-ing calls from concerned citizens about the woman praying loudly in a Victoria mosque.
The province’s police watch-dog is conducting a prelimin-ary investigation to determine whether there is a connection between police actions and the child’s death.

Human-caused blazes a concern for minister
A spike in human-caused wild-fires across British Columbia has the forests minister calling for more vigilance from the public.
Steve Thomson said that only 18 of the 31 flare-ups over the long weekend were caused by lightning while the rest had people to blame.
“One human-caused fire remains one too many,” Thom-son said. “This continues to be a source of significant frustration to our wildfire service and to the province and to our ministry.”
As of Tuesday, 140 fires were burning in the province out of the nearly 1,400 blazes that start-ed since April.
Kevin Skrepnek, B.C.’s chief fire information officer, said hot, dry conditions will likely lead to an increase in wildfires over the next few days.
An evacuation order remains in place for cabins at the Dog Moun-tain fire near Port Alberni.
◆ NEW WESTMINSTER
Lawyer says homeless choose to sleep outdoors
Homeless in Abbotsford are choosing to sleep outside rath-er than use available shelter, says a lawyer for the city that is accused of violating charter rights.
People living in tent encamp-ments in several parks in the Fraser Valley community are doing so based on preference, not necessity, lawyer James Yardley told a British Columbia Supreme Court judge on Tuesday.
“Clearly there’s an element of choice, of conscious decision, not to take housing,” Yardley told the judge hearing the challenge against the city’s bylaws.
In his closing submissions, Yardley said there is no basis for the lawsuit. He called for the case to be dismissed.
The case has gained heightened attention for city tactics aimed at moving the homeless along. Police have used pepper spray and city workers dumped chick-en manure on one campsite.

First Nation deal is fi rst steps toward new treaty
The Kitselas First Nation has signed multimillion-dollar cash and land agreement-in-principle with the provincial government.
Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Kitselas Chief Joe Bevan signed the deal Tues-day during a ceremony in the First Nation community in the Skeena River valley.
The agreement provides for over 31,000 hectares of land east of Terrace and the transfer of almost $35 million.
The deal also covers govern-ance, taxes and resources such as forestry, wildlife and water.
Bevan says the First Nation is pleased to see the commitment from both the Canadian and B.C. governments.
Rustad says the Kitselas is an important partner with the province on a number of initia-tives, and the agreement lays the groundwork for meaningful rec-onciliation and economic pros-perity for the community.

Mine sector horrifi ed by tailings breach: BennettTHE CANADIAN PRESS
KAMLOOPS — British Colum-bia’s mines minister says the mining industry remains horri-fied a year after a tailings pond collapsed at the Mount Polley mine northeast of Williams Lake.
Bill Bennett said no one thought a crisis on such a scale was possible but that even now he can’t guarantee that another breach of a tailings pond won’t happen because only some of the risk factors can be eliminated.
“We didn’t eliminate enough of the risk and we have to figure out, and we are figuring out, how to eliminate the rest of that risk,” he said of the Aug. 4, 2014 accident.
About 24 millions cubic metres
of waste spilled into area water-ways, causing an environmental disaster.
“It totally destroyed the creek that comes out of Polley Lake and flows past the tailings stor-age facility, past the mine, down into Quesnel Lake,” Bennett said.
“You had millions of trees and roots and mud and all kinds of stuff in Quesnel Lake. It looked horrible, it was horrible.”
Imperial Metals, which oper-ates the gold and copper mine, has spent about $67 million on cleanup of the region, repair of the damaged bed of Hazeltine Creek and monitoring of water quality in area lakes.
Karina Brino, president of the Mining Association of B.C., said much has been learned since the collapse of the tailings pond.
The industry has been forced to take a close look at all practices surrounding the construction, maintenance and use of tailings ponds, Brino said.
She said accidents will happen but investigators remain focused on the root causes of the collapse and that mitigating risk is the industry’s biggest challenge.
An independent report deter-mined poor dam design caused the tailings pond to collapse.
The provincial government has spent $6 million on the cleanup, and Imperial Metals was granted conditional approval to reopen last month, although it still needs further permits before it can operate fully.
Bennett said water and sedi-ment testing will have to con-tinue for decades.
Minister says no one thought crisis on such a scale possible

Increased work load fi ne with Andrew Harris, Lions || Page B6B6
Children who struggle with their weight often become adults who struggle with
their weight. This can become a lifelong
chronic condition that affects work life, family life, and physic-al and mental health. Families with concerns about their life-style and the health of their children may be looking for somehelp. In Nanaimo, there are three excellent programs that support families to learn lifestyle ideas for good health.
All of the pro-grams are free to attend.
The Central Island Healthy Lifestyles Pro-gram is one of six programs in B.C. and the only one on Van-couver Island. It is operated by Island Health and overseen by B.C. Children’s Hospital.
It is a free family-based pro-gram for kids aged six to 17. The program is designed to help families to set their own goals towards making realistic and meaningful lifestyle changes that lead to improved health and overall well-being.
A team consisting of a regis-tered dietitian, social worker, a physician and a fitness instruct-or offer this 10-week program.
Families begin with a compre-hensive assessment by each of the team members followed by a treatment planning session with the family.
A physician referral is required and staff can help families to get this.
Once the plan is in place, the family meets with a group twice a week for 10 weeks.
There are education sessions and family fun fitness activities.
Families report that this pro-gram is excellent.
For more information go to [email protected].
To register call 250-755-7955 there are spaces still available formid-September.
The second program is called MEND. This stands for Mind, Exercise, Nutrition . . . Do it!
The MEND program is for seven-to-13-year-olds.
It is a 10-week (20 sessions) pro-gram at Oliver Woods Commun-ity Centre. It is free to attend and empowers children and their families to become fitter, and healthier as they adopt a healthy life style. This program is a partnership between City of Nanaimo, Healthy Families BC, Childhood Obesity Foundation, BC Recreation and Parks Associ-ation and the YMCA/YWCA.
To register, contact [email protected].
The third program is the Eat-ing and Activity Program for Kids available through Health Link BC.

WINE
Blind tasting a good way to raise wine knowledge
It is quite intriguing to drink something not knowing what it is. A fun way to try wine is to taste it “blind.”
You don’t have to be a who’s who of the wine industry to have some fun identifying different varieties of wine. Using only your sense of taste, vision and smell to identify the difference between Bordeaux and a Spanish Rioja is entertaining and edu-cational. Learning some simple techniques for tasting will also increase your enjoyment and appreciation of wine.
Often called “blind wine tast-ing,” several bottles of wine are presented with the labels hidden. Other than bottle shape, you have no idea what kind of wine you are drinking. There are a few telltale signs that each type of grape gives off. These are clues to the puzzle.
Red wines are the best to start with. They offer many opportun-ities for flavour, smell and colour variations. The lightest coloured red wine will most often be a Pinot Noir or Sangiovese. These varieties show off many hues of light red. Other varieties of red wine can range anywhere from a light purple to a deep mahogany, like a Cabernet Sauvignon.
Viscosity of the wine is also a clue. A rich wine will cling to the sides of the glass and slowly run down the glass when you give it a swirl. This is also a good indica-tion of high alcohol, thick body and sometimes sweetness. Pinot Noir is a light bodied wine that runs freely off the glass, whereas Cabernet Sauvignon is rich and clings for some time.
Next up is the smell. For reds it’s all about the fruitiness and
earthy tones. Pinot Noirs often have aromas of cherry, straw-berry, raspberry and forest floor. A good Cabernet Sauvignon is distinctive with black currents, blackberry, black cherries, choco-late and vanilla.
Red wines have numerous complexities of flavour and sen-sation. Tannins are an element that helps distinguish wines. Tannins often translate as the residual sensation on our pal-ates. Very similar to what your mouth feels like when you drink strong black tea. If that sensa-tion is prevalent in a wine, that wine could very well be a Caber-net Sauvignon or some obscure grape like Tannat. Wines that display less tannins might be
identified as Pinot Noir, Sangiov-ese or some New World Gamay Noir.
One wine that is particularly true to varietal characteristics is the Pinot Noir from Averill Creek Vineyards in the Cowic-han Valley. This wine displays all the landmark characteristics of a well made Pinot Noir. Light in body, with loads of fresh berry fruit on the nose, moderate tannins and a lingering taste of loam this is quite a little gem for $24.31 and an excellent partner for rustic mushroom dishes and salmon.
All of this may sound compli-cated but it does not have to be. Having some fun with friends doing a blind wine evening will
give you an opportunity to inves-tigate and discuss the wonderful world of wine. What better way to learn something than making a game out of it?
If you would like to test and begin developing your tasting skills then join us at Lucky’s Liquor in Country Club Center Mall in Nanaimo on Aug. 13 at 7 p.m. as we host a night of blind wine tasting.
Tickets are limited and only $20 for this event and you will get a chance to try that delicious Pinot Noir from Averill Creek Vineyards.
For more info visit us at www.luckysliquor.ca, find us on Facebook or call to book your seat at 250-585-2275.
Blind wine tastings can increase your appreciation and knowledge of wines.

Picky eating is usually harmless, but can also signal a child’s emotional woes, claims studyLINDSEY TANNER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Parents of picky eaters take heart: New research suggests the problem is rarely worth fretting over, although in a small portion of kids it may signal emotional troubles that should be checked out.
Preschool-aged children who are extremely selective about what they eat and dislike even being near certain foods are more likely than others to have underlying anxiety or depres-sion, the study found. But only three per cent of young children studied were that picky.
Less severe pickiness, dubbed “moderate selected eating” in the study, was found in about 18 per cent of kids. These are children who will only eat a narrow range of foods. Kids with either level of pickiness were almost two times more likely than others to develop anxiety symptoms within two years, the study found.
More typical pickiness, includ-ing kids who refuse to eat their vegetables, is probably “normal dislike,” said eating disorders specialist Nancy Zucker, the lead author and an associate psych-iatry professor at Duke Univer-sity’s medical school. These are the kids who typically outgrow their pickiness as they mature.
Zucker said young children with moderate pickiness are probably more likely to outgrow the problem than the severe group, although more research is needed to confirm that.
The study was published Mon-day in the journal Pediatrics.
Dr. Arthur Lavin, a Cleveland pediatrician said picky eating is among the top concerns parents bring to his office, and that the study “helps us understand who we should be concerned about.”
“There’s more going on here than just not wanting to eat broc-coli,” said Lavin, a member of an American Academy of Pediat-rics committee on psycho-social issues. He was not involved in the research.
The study focused on about 900 children aged two through five who were recruited from primary care doctors affiliated with Duke’s medical centre in Durham, N.C.
Researchers did in-home inter-views with parents to evaluate kids’ eating habits and any mental health issues. Follow-up evaluations were done two years later in almost 200 children.
Compared with children who aren’t fussy eaters, depression and social anxiety were at least two times more common in kids with severe pickiness; attention deficit behaviour and separation anxiety symptoms were common in moderately selective kids.
Severe selective eating described in the study is akin to a condition called avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, added in 2013 to the latest edi-
tion of a widely used psychiatric manual, the study authors said. It can occur in all ages; some of those affected are extra-sensi-tive to food tastes, smells and textures.
Zucker said severe pickiness may be the first clue for parents that a child is experiencing anx-iety or depression and that they may want to seek help from a mental health specialist.
Moderate pickiness is less con-cerning but affected kids can make family meal-times a battle-ground, she said. To avoid that, Zucker suggests that parents try introducing new foods at random times during the day.

Growing pains carrying onNanaimo Timbermen fi nish last for third straight year as inexperience showed
Who knew the Nanaimo Timber-men would still need to get worse before
they got better?The Western Lacrosse Associ-
ation playoffs have begun, and yet again Kaleb Toth’s young group is left out, with hope springing eternal that next year will be their year.
But this was supposed to the year it all came together, the year they made the leap into the league’s top four and played a playoff game.
Timbermen general manager Earl Nicholson had drafted well and more importantly gotten his top pick to play when some thought he might not, and by all accounts thought a playoff spot was, finally, going to be attainable.
More than anyone expected out of this year’s Timbermen roster, though, the youth an inexperi-ence showed through and had a larger effect on their record than the team’s talent, which isn’t lacking. It’s just young and inexperienced.
When they finished the season in last place for the third straight year, and a point in the standings worse in 2015 than the previous year, there will be speculation that the direction of the team’s roster might need to be changed — but that’s not the case.
The young talent is here, it’s just not ready.
The right side of the floor, with offensive left-handers Cody Bremner, Brody Eastwood and
Eli McLaughlin, should be set for the next five to eight years, and that trio has all of seven years of Senior A experience between them, combined.
The other side of the floor would have been more than shored up if young Toronto Rock star Brett Hickey had been able to play in Nanaimo after Nicholson traded for him in the offseason.
Talented young defenders like Conrad Chapman, Tyson Roe and Ray Bannister will all like-ly carve out long professional lacrosse careers, those three combine for five years of WLA experience.
Take a look at the top of the
standings, and it’s not difficult to see where the differences lie. The Victoria Shamrocks are primed to host the Mann Cup later this summer and they will do so with a roster loaded with long-serv-ing, seasoned veterans like Dan Dawson, Rhys Duch, Cory Con-way et al. The Timbermen sim-ply don’t have the horses to keep up, although they are continuing to build toward doing so.
Don’t forget, before McLaugh-lin was taken second overall behind Wes Berg, who the Coquitlam Adanacs couldn’t recruit to show up, he was also taken fourth overall in the NLL draft. He’s expected to be a star there, which would make him dominant here.
The Timbermen also drafted the top graduating goaltender, a local product in Pete Dubenski, last season, and they will only continue to build up their roster with these young players when they draft first overall in 2016.
Of course, the only question that needs to be answered won’t be for another year — can they finally take advantage of the experience they’re gaining, turn a corner and make the playoffs?
In Year 3 of the leadership of Toth, a former star player, it hasn’t happened yet. But it’s too difficult to deny that they are building to that point — it’s just proving more difficult anyone first thought.

Canucks, Sutter ink fi ve-year extension for $21.8MTHE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks have signed Brandon Sutter to a five-year contract extension at an average annual value of US$4.375 per season.
The club acquired the six-foot-three, 190-pound centre and a third-round pick in 2016 from the Pittsburgh Penguins last Tuesday for Nick Bonino, Adam Clendening and a 2016 second-round pick.
Sutter, who has a cap hit of $3.3 million in 2015-16, was set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, but is now under contract through the 2020-21 season.
The 26-year-old had 21 goals, 12 assists and 14 penalty minutes in 80 games in mostly a third-line role with Pittsburgh last sea-son behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
Sutter also finished with a team-leading 50.6 per cent faceoffefficiency and tied for second in the NHL with four short-handed goals.
It’s expected that he will be given every opportunity by Can-ucks head coach Willie Desjar-dins to be Vancouver’s No. 2 cen-tre behind Henrik Sedin when training camp starts next month.

Tulowitzki homers as Blue Jays beat TwinsJOHN CHIDLEY-HILL THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Troy Tulowitzki has found a kin-dred spirit in Toronto.
Tulowiztki and Josh Don-aldson both hit home runs early in the Blue Jays’ 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday as Toronto added to its lead in the American League wild-card race.
The newly acquired Blue Jays shortstop thinks that he and Donaldson are alike on the field, even if they have dif-ferent temperaments in the clubhouse.
“He’s outgoing, outspoken at times, he has a lot of fun. Not that I don’t, but I’m more of the serious guy,” said Tulowitzki.
“But on the field there’s some similarities. Guys that compete. Guys that grind out at-bats. Guys that probably put winning first and guys that hopefully make a difference when they’re on a team.”
Tulowitzki was acquired in a trade with the Colorado Rockies on July 28th along with reliev-er LaTroy Hawkins for shortstop Jose Reyes, reliever Miguel Castro and minor-league pitch-ers Jeff Hoffman and Jesus Tinoco.
He’s hit two home runs since coming to Toron-to and is feeling more comfortable, thanks in part to Donaldson’s influence.

Next Canadian stars take nothing for grantedSTEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
When Travis Sanheim was cut from Canada’s world junior hockey camp nine months ago, the coaching staff told the young defenceman they expected him to be a crucial piece to the 2016 team. He watched his would-be teammates win gold on home ice.
Dylan Strome and Mitch Marner were watching, too, eager to see respective Ontario Hockey League teammates Connor McDavid and Max Domi put on a show on the biggest junior stage. Those three players and others, including forward Michael Dal Colle and defenceman Jeremy Roy, arrived
at Canada’s world junior summer camp with plenty of expectations on themselves to make the 2016 team, and Strome, Marner and Sanheim should be among the go-to players in Helsinki.
But they’re all reluctant to think of themselves as the next genera-tion of stars because they’re several months away from even earning a spot on Canada’s roster.
“I don’t think you expect anything, and you don’t take anything for granted,” Sanheim said in a phone interview Monday. “It’s Team Can-ada. It’s the greatest hockey country in the world, and it’s going to be a tough team no matter what.”
The 2015 team was impossibly dif-
ficult to make, especially for 17-year-olds. Only McDavid, who went first in the NHL draft to the Edmonton Oilers, and winger Lawson Crouse, a fellow top-10 pick, could claim that distinction.
So as disappointed as he was, San-heim realized why he was one of the final cuts last December, and Strome and Marner got why they were passed over for camp invites. Now they’re expected to get big roles and are motivated by that.
“We both wanted to make that team,” Marner said of himself and Strome. “Such skilful forward lines that when we didn’t make it I think we both understood our chances next year. Both of us are on a line
this year for this camp.“We’ve got to leave our footprint. I
think we’re both willing to do that.”Leaving a footprint is important
because coach Dave Lowry said the summer camp is just the beginning of the evaluation process. Roster spots aren’t assured for Strome, the third pick to the Arizona Coyotes, or Marner, who went fourth to the Toronto Maple Leafs, even though they went 1-2 in OHL scoring last season.
“No one cares where you got drafted, no one cares who you got drafted to,” said Strome, who along with Marner scored a goal in Canada’s 4-1 win against Russia in exhibition action Monday night.

John Rogers has learneda lot about his businessand his customers sincehe opened his first John’sBedroom Barn in Nanaimoin 1989.
Rogers had worked in awater bed store beforehe realized that all theincentives to get peopleto buy new beds and
mattresses had “gone the way of the dinosaur.”
He said that he has no sales gimmicks and even closes his store on BoxingDay, one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
Rogers said fair prices and great service is paramount in his businessmodel for his two stores, with the other in Courtenay, but a big part of hissuccess is developing his own custom-made brand of mattresses to fit theindividual needs of his customers.
He said he donated all of his “mainstream” mattresses to local shelters in2008.
“We can customize mattresses to help people deal with back, hip, kneeand other health problems and have them made in Vancouver,” Rogerssaid.
Rogers said he had expanded to four stores, with the other two located inNanaimo, but he felt that he had lost the “personal touch” of being thereto help deal with customers, so he cut back to his current two locations.
“My customers like a hands-on approach and they expect to see me whenthey come into the store,” he said.
“After 2 years in business, I have a loyal following of repeat customerswho have come to know and trust me.”
John’s Bedroom Barn also provides a wide selection of bedroom furniture,with most of it made locally in B.C.

Heavy workload OK with Harris, B.C. LionsLOWELL ULRICH THE PROVINCE
A recent casual conversation with B.C. Lions coach Jeff Ted-ford came around to a question as to why NFL running backs generally get more carries than their CFL counterparts.
“They have one more down,” Tedford said, flashing a slight grin, proving he not only is a master of detail but can also point out the obvious. Yet Ted-ford has a tailback in Andrew Harris who is on an early pace to get near some pretty impressive NFL carry totals this year.
For the Lions, that could be both a blessing and a curse, a point that became only too real when Harris was injured briefly at practice Monday. For a moment, the Lions could ponder what this team would be like again without him and think about the gruesome reality, given at present they are last in pass-ing yardage and are bringing up the rear in both major defensive categories.
The 117 rushing yards Harris had from 24 carries against Win-nipeg Thursday put him tops among league ground gainers and on pace for 356 touches this season, which would shatter his personal best (262) set three sea-sons ago.
It’s also substantially more than the totals that were cut short last year when he suffered a dislocated ankle that is still proving troublesome, Harris said, due to scar tissue swelling.
By comparison, the leading
NFL rusher last year, DeMarco Murray, had 392 carries in a 16-game season.
They are two different sized backs playing in different worlds, of course.
But if you think the idea of smashing a career high for touches is frightful to Harris — or to the Lions, should they lose a player who represents 37 per cent of their offensive output — think again.
Give him the ball, then give it to him again, because at this point, the Lions’ season may well rest in his hands.
“Sure, I want it,” Harris said. “I honestly think everything I’ve done in my career, I’ve always been told I can’t do this or that. That’s who I am. People were questioning me that I couldn’t come back (from last year’s injury). This is just another opportunity to bounce back for myself and prove people wrong.”
Harris said he understands the need for the Lions to achieve a proper run/pass balance and also
an attack that relies on others. After all, the Lions were 7-4 last year before Harris was hurt and 2-5 the rest of the way.
It’s why the Lions are trying to develop a secondary run option in Shaquille Murray-Lawrence and Keola Antolin, who was acti-vated last week and will remain on the roster Thursday when the Lions face the Edmonton Eskimo at B.C. Place.
However, Harris said, touches aren’t the right way to measure whether he can withstand the physical beating, even though history isn’t necessarily on his side. The last six NFL runners who had 390 carries in a season, for example, didn’t reach 1,000 yards rushing the following year.
“There’s definitely a ceiling, but it depends on the touches,” Har-ris said. “I could have five touch-es for 60 yards and take only one hit, or have eight touches for 20 yards but take a pounding every time. There’s so many factors within a game that no one sees. They just look at stats.”
Spieth hits the reset button ahead of the next majorDOUG FERGUSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jordan Spieth was on the 14th green and battling in conditions so severe the wind approached 40 mph.
“They pulled us off the course,” he said.
Spieth wasn’t talking about St. Andrews.
This was Sunday at Whistling Straits, where he took a two-day scouting trip of the course that will host the final major of the year.
Spieth was one shot away from making the PGA Championship the most significant golf event since Tiger Woods completed his sweep of the majors in 2001 at the Masters. The 22-year-old Texan was trying to become the first player to win them all in one season, and he came closer than any of the other three greats — Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Woods — to getting the third leg of the Grand Slam at the Brit-ish Open.
His three-putt on the 14th greenat St. Andrews, when the second round resumed in wind so strong Spieth was heard to say, “We never should have started,” is not what cost him a chance at the claret jug.
He had four other three-putts that round. He took four putts on the eighth green in the final round.
He also made a bunch of birdiesall week, and at the end of 72 holes, he needed one more. Simple as that.
If there was a hangover, it didn’t last long.

Adekugbe eyes expanded role as Whitecaps face SoundersMONTE STEWART THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Sam Adekugbe’s long wait for more playing time with the Vancouver Whitecaps is about to end.
After being sidelined with an ankle injury since May, the 20-year-old Calgary native is slated to see action Wednesday as the Whitecaps host the Seattle Sounders in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions League series at B.C. Place Stadium.
“It would mean a lot,” said
Adekugbe. “I haven’t played a game in three months. So, obviously, if I get the opportun-ity, it’ll be a bit emotional but exciting at the same time. I’m just happy to get back on to the pitch.”
Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson has pledged to play the defender as either a starter or substitute. The Whitecaps will test their depth by using a distinctly dif-ferent lineup than the one that blanked the Sounders 3-0 in a Major League Soccer game Sat-
urday in Seattle. Vancouver plays eight games in August, including league, Canadian championship and CONCACAF matches. So coach Robinson wants to balance his player fatigue levels while keeping the Caps in contention for all three championships.
“(What) I know I can do is just do the things I can do best on the field — and also show the coaches that I’m ready to go and raring to play,” said Adekugbe, who has started all eight games he has played in this season. “I’m feeling
pretty healthy. I’ve been training these last two weeks, and I feel like I’m back into a good rhythm again. Obviously, playing a game is a different story, but I’m feeling very confident right now.”
Adekugbe is one of a number of Canadians who have a chance to help the Whitecaps in the compe-tition that will determine CON-CACAF’s representative in the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup. Mid-fielder Kianz Froese is expected to be on the game roster after recuperating from an injury.

DIVERSIONS/ENTERTAINMENT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 2015 | NANAIMO DAILY NEWS | B7
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your impulsiveness might
cause a problem, especially if you trigger a partner because of it. Good sense will make all the difference. Your fiery ways are likely to mark the afternoon. Tonight: Make it your day to do what you want.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Follow through on what is
needed. You could be over-whelmed by certain situations that arise unexpectedly. It would be wise to take a step back for now. Be aware of what is happen-ing around you. Tonight: Nap, then decide.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Honour a request from a friend
or an associate. This person often is a supporter of yours. Make sure you do the same when he or she is in need. Look for new
solutions when someone drops the ball. Tonight: As you like it.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)You might want to rethink
a personal matter that often bothers you. If you don’t handle this issue appropriately, you will end up feeling angry. Accept a higher-up’s feedback, even if you don’t agree. Tonight: Accept an invitation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Don’t stand on ceremony with
a situation that arises today. Detach and read between the lines. At the same time, be aware of a tendency to get angry and bottle up those feelings; they can backfire on you. Tonight: Follow the music.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You will discover that a lot is
happening behind the scenes. Don’t run away from these situa-tions. In order to have a calm life, you need to handle these issues. Know that everything will work

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Evaluate what is happening
around you. Consider how a min-or change could improve the situ-ation. There are many options you might have closed off. Now is the time to open one of them up. Tonight: Do something just for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might need to manage a
situation differently from how you have in the past. Your ability to make a difference in some-one’s life emerges. You are likely to help this person see a better
idea as a result. Tonight: Off to the gym.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Pressure builds on the home-

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Speak your mind, and allow
others to respond in the same way. A boss could be very touchy and difficult. In fact, you might find yourself feeling closed off from this person. Know that this, too, will pass. Tonight: Hang out with a pal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Be aware of your spending pat-
terns, and assess the likely out-come of your choices. If you take that information to heart, you will be able to head in the right direction. Do whatever you can
to empower yourself. Tonight: Pay bills first.
YOUR BIRTHDAY (July 21) This year you blossom into
a more dynamic and creative person. You are likely to become more of a problem-solver as a result. This will be helpful, as there will be issues surround-ing your domestic life.

This person will be significant to your next year, if not longer. If you are attached, you will experi-ence a newfound closeness with-in your relationship. TAURUS can be a stick in the mud.

Use patience when parents keep asking you to your share stories with guests
Dear Annie: Whenever I’m at my parents’ house and they have guests, they expect me to “perform.” I don’t mean playing the piano or tap dancing. I mean they insist I “tell them that story you told me.” Any story they select.
I feel I’m being treated as some kind of circus freak.
This makes me very uncomfort-able, and they know it because I’ve told them. They always promise not to do it again, but then they always do.
They can be incredibly selfish. My mother doesn’t want me to speak at family dinners, and lets my siblings bulldoze over every-one. I hated this when I was a kid and still do. Now, whenever she tells people, “Tell them what you
told me,” I will say, “I think that story isn’t appropriate for now, if you know what I mean.”
Am I being unreasonable? Did I also mention that my parents interrogate me about my job and then tell me I’m doing it all wrong? We have fights about what I wear to work. The last time, they told me to wear a shirt and tie to a job where I get my hands dirty. And they did it in front of my extended family. What do I do?
–New Jersey Son
Dear New Jersey: You learn to accept your parents as they are, and then set boundaries that will allow you to be less upset.
Your folks apparently think you are a terrific storyteller, but you do not have to oblige.
When they ask you to relate something, it’s fine to say, “Not right now,” and then change the subject. A useful skill is to do so while being polite, even smiling. Never lose your temper. Repeat as often as necessary and take your leave if they won’t let up. Save your conversation for friends who appreciate it instead
of siblings who talk over every-one. Some parents are notorious for criticizing their children’s choices in everything. Most chil-dren figure out how to evaluate what has merit and then ignore the rest, nodding politely instead of arguing. We suggest you practice.
Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “At a Loss in Ohio,” whose brother died and she received no condolences from anyone in her boyfriend’s family, including his children, nor any of his friends.
Why would you give people who behave poorly a pass by saying she should forgive them? She wasn’t asking them to mourn her brother, so whether they knew him is irrelevant. She was looking for emotional support to help soften the sharp edges of the pain. Isn’t that what family and friends do for each other? Their indifference to her pain is inexcusable and she owes them nothing more.
She has every right to feel angry and resentful.
-- Call a Spade a Spade
Dear Call: We agree that these people behaved terribly and said so.
But finding forgiveness is for her, not them. She needs to let these people know how disappointed she was in their lack of condolences, but she also needs to find a way to let it go or it will poison her relationship with her boyfriend.
We should not be so focused on holding onto hurt and anger that we lose track of the other things that matter.

Miss Piggy confi rms split with KermitTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLY HILLS — Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, who have been on-again, off-again over the years, have now called it quits. But they’re vowing to remain professional on their new prime-time comedy, The Muppets, pre-miering Sept. 22 on ABC.
The pair confirmed their break-up at a biannual ABC panel for TV critics Tuesday.
An official statement fol-lowed on their official Twitter accounts.
“People change. So do frogs and pigs. . . . We were together for a long, long time and it’s personal,” Kermit said.
Kermit also acknowledged starting a new relationship with another pig, a woman named Denise who works in ABC Marketing.
The Muppets is a mocku-mentary-style look at Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie and the gang as they produce a late-night talk show for Miss Piggy called Up Late With Miss Piggy.
The former couple sat at Tues-day’s panel with co-executive producers Bill Prady and Bob Kushell.
