more time with it. If I just used it as a base here it would be a waste and would not honour the tree.” Growing up in Campbell River, Toso chose a logging truck because it is something he saw regularly. The piece took him nearly 12 hours to complete. When it is donated to his sponsor, it will be another of Toso’s collection finding a home in Port Alberni, along with the jumping salmon at the Visitor Centre and the recently finished bench at Harbour Quay. Adam Youngblut took part in the event because of its close proximity to his hometown of Ladysmith. His wildlife-themed piece carved from red cedar took about 13 to 14 hours to finish. “It was something I wanted to check out because it is something new,” Youngblut said. “The weather held off, so that was good.”
“Save Door to Door” signs have become a common sight in Port Alberni at the homes of those opposed to service cuts being undertaken by Canada Post to save costs. Candidates in the new Alberni-Courtenay riding have taken sides on the issue, with three aspiring Members of Parliament opposed to the incumbent, John Duncan, who currently represents the Vancouver Island North riding. In December 2013 Canada Post announced that door-to-door delivery would be replaced by neighbourhood mailboxes as part of a plan for the national postal service to reach financial sustainability by 2019. Among these measures is the elimination of 6,000 to 8,000 positions after upcoming retirements, which will avoid layoffs in the Crown corporation, stated Canada Post. A major concern is the continual loss of revenue, which Canada Post most recently reported to be $31 million before taxes over the second fiscal quarter of this year. This is due to declining letter volumes and the rising cost of employee benefits, said Canada Post spokesperson Anick Losier. The City of Port Alberni has backed the Canadian Union of Postal Workers campaign to halt the cuts, citing the reliance on doorstep mail among the community’s growing number of seniors. Liberal Candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson agrees, and calls the plan to phase out the service “a short sighted approach that emphasizes profitability.” She said the Liberals will begin a new review of Canada Post to ensure it can fulfill its mandate at a reasonable cost. “What happens to Canadians in their 80s and 90s around this country if they have to walk three city blocks on icy sidewalks to get their bills and pension cheques through the mail?” Powell-Davidson asked.

40-pound chinook the largest catch from derby’s 1,300 participants

T
he hopes of salmon festival organizers for good fishing this past weekend came true when the winning catch weighed in on Sunday at over 40-pounds. Bob Moulton from Langley took home the top cash prize at the 44th annual Port Alberni Salmon Festival with a 40.4-pound chinook caught near Bamfield. Along with his fishing partner, Chrissy Zacklan, it took the two half an hour to reel it in. “It didn’t want to come in,” Moulton said. “I was watching it come up to the boat,” Zacklan said. “We knew right as soon as it got into the boat that it was a winner.” From there, Ken Bodaly from Rocky Point Charters brought them back to weigh it in just in time to make the day’s cut off. All together the pair caught five salmon, but the winner was caught with a fluorescent pink hoochie. At a Salmon Fest three years

ago, Moulton won the largest catch of the day but has been trying to win the overall prize for four years. His patience paid off and he returned to the Lower Mainland with a $15,000 cheque. “I’m going to fix my truck,” Moulton said. “I have a 2008 Chevy that needs body work and a paint job.” President of the Salmon Festival Dan Washington said more than 1,300 registered entrants
were in the derby and upwards of 1,000 fish weighed in. “For a 40-pounder to win for our 44th year, I’m happy with that,” Washington said. The winners of the kid’s bullhead derby on Sunday were Riley Verlander with a 232-millimetre fish and Nathalie Taberner, who caught a 257-millimetre bullhead. Just across the street was a new feature for the festival. The professional carving exhibition at Stirling Field attracted a steady stream of onlookers. The carvers, all of whom came from out of town, agreed it was a worthy inaugural event and are already thinking about next year. Jesse Toso won the People’s Choice for his replica logging truck. Originally starting with a piece of cedar, he switched to a different log when he realized what it was. “I cut into it and saw that it was a really rare old growth cedar,” Toso said. “I’m going to keep it for next year and spend

Call out for teens to New student data program stalls build library space KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
School is back in full swing this week, and the library reminds teens it is a place to use for research and more KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Nearly 300 children took part in this summer’s reading club at the library, and now staff are gearing up for fall programs. Traditionally, the library has spent more time and resources in services catering to children and adults, but getting more teens to check out the facility is a priority for customer services librarian, Robin Kelley. Kelley started her position at the Vancouver Island Regional Library in May and came with experience working with a range of age groups. Her first project to launch was the annual summer reading program and she set an enrolment record. “It was a huge success,” Kelley said. “We had 276 participants and a lot of participation in activities. Many people came out to the stories in the park and now I want to keep the momentum going with the younger kids and start working on programs for teens and t’weens.” The main thing Kelley is planning to attract more youth to the library is an atmosphere of inclusion. She does not intend to do it alone, though, but with the feedback of youth themselves. A new teen advisory group will meet once a month to create peer-led activities
KELLEY
focussing on reading, writing and creative arts. “At the first meeting we will talk about what they want to see at the library and decide on specific project-based activities,” Kelley said. “I want them to take a leadership role in defining the teen space.” She envisions it as a place where teens can not only study, but take part in fun, entertaining activities and enjoy just hanging out. Kelley said it is a more challenging age group to keep interested in library services, but there are a number of free resources available to help with school, including research assistance, computer access, ebooks and dvd’s. “If students don’t have access to to a computer or have a shared one at home, the library

School District 70 teachers and administrators were busy last week preparing for the school year. With all of the activity came a strain on the computer systems, causing a minor hiccup in the student information portal. Schools in Port Alberni adopted the province-wide system, MyEducation BC last summer and began with the basic applications for recording student data. A large portion of entry and information retrieval caused the system to back-up slightly the week before classes began session. “A large number of new students entered into the system caused a bit of a slowdown, because the new schools are doing data extracts,” said Jack Hitchings, SD 70 director of instruction for learning services. “That was using up resources. We have been monitoring it regularly and it is working fine.” For those using the system, the only real issue was time management. “Outside of the fact we are all learning how to use MyEd and the new technique improves our service to students and parents, the biggest and most frustrating is the fact that when the whole province goes to this site it slows down to a dead stop,” said ADSS counsellor, Robb Ostwald. ADSS principal Rob Souther said his experience was similar. “As with anything, when you are rushing to complete a task and something is slowing you
down it is frustrating,” Souther said. “It has improved since then though, and although it remains a bit slow, it is quite functional.” MyEd is also expected to improve interaction between students, parents and teachers. “We have phased in the student/parent portal,” Hitchings said. “They will be able to check grades and attendance.” “I am intrigued by the parent and student modules to the program,” Souther said. “I see this as a potentially powerful tool for communication of student progress. It will be much more responsive than report cards that provide feedback in two to three month increments.” Ostwald said this will be a welcome change for high-tech families. “With the increased use by parents and students of using e- mail and parents’ knowledge of computers, information on how students are performing has increased, lessening the wait time for interims and even report cards as I can e-mail an interim from a teacher’s markbook to the parent,” he said. Hitchings said each district in B.C. will gradually convert to MyEd over the course of the year. Before this, BCeSIS was used for over a decade. “MyEd is modern, updated and more flexible,” Hitchings said. He said the district’s cost for the system is about $10 per student.

Duncan defends plan POSTAL CUTS, from Page 1
But with the millions of apartments, condominiums and rural PO boxes across the country, most Canadians already don’t rely on door-to-door delivery, said Conservative candidate John Duncan, a current MP representing the soonto-be defunct Vancouver Island North. He believes that something needs to be done to the national postal service before it bleeds more public funds. “Two years ago Canada Post was forecast to lose $1 billion per year by 2010 if changes were not made,” he said. “The second quarter of 2015 showed a seven per cent drop over one year earlier.” Financial sustainability is possible while keeping home delivery, stressed Green Party candidate Glen Sollitt. “Diversify the services Canada Post offers, including insurance sales, banking and commerce services, supplementary pension plans and expanded services to remote communities,” he said.
“Other countries, including Switzerland, France and New Zealand, posted increased revenues after diversifying services.” NDP candidate Gord Johns said the Crown corporation has already proven it can be profitable. He sees hardship for Alberni Valley residents if the neighbourhood mailboxes are introduced. “Canadian taxpayers, who are the only shareholders of Canada Post, are not impressed with this short-sighted scheme which undermines a publicly owned corporation that turned a pre-tax profit of $194 million in 2014,” said Johns. “Voters in the Alberni Valley are telling me loud and clearly on their doorsteps that they do not support this Stephen Harper/John Duncan policy.” “The NDP and Liberal plans for Canada Post will cost taxpayers half a billion dollars a year – raising taxes on every single Canadian in order to pay for their plan,” warned Duncan.

Mine blocked by 21st century realities
V
ancouver Island carries a rich history of coal mining. This is particularly the case in communities on the east side of the Island, such as Nanaimo and Ladysmith, where the economy was once fueled by the extraction of the mineral resource. But times have changed over the last century – so much so that the Island appears to be the last place in Canada any coal mine could be developed. Compliance Energy has run into this fact with the failure of the Raven Underground Coal Project to progress in recent years. Despite a development regime in British Columbia that approves 75 per cent of projects that come before regulators, Compliance has reached a standstill with the Environmental Assessment Office. The company’s former president, Steve
Ellis, even accused the EAO of unfairly handling the proposed coal mine and pushing away international investors. Ellis’ accusation was clearly evidence of a frustrated executive throwing up his hands amid a stalled project; he resigned from the helm of the company on Sept. 2, a week after his last letter was sent to the provincial regulator. Compliance proposed to develop the underground mine in the Comox Valley near Fanny Bay, producing 1 million tonnes of steelmaking coal annually for Asian markets over a 16-year period. The coal would be trucked to Port Alberni via Highway 4 for shipment oversees. Based on Compliance’s plans, one could argue that the development is exactly what Port Alberni needs. The company stated the mine would bring 70 full-time positions to the Valley tied to
the trucking and shipment of Raven’s coal. This could be welcome news as the community is starved for jobs, suffering from an underused port that sees most of its export shipped as raw logs to be manufactured elsewhere. But opposition has mounted against the Raven coal mine with every possibility for the development to progress, so much so that Ellis noted “misinformation that is circulating in some communities” when the project withdrew its application to the EAO in March. Last winter the City of Port Alberni assembled a special committee to assess the possible effects of the proposed coal mine. This group gave an unfavourable report on the project to city council in February, noting that a coal port in town would tarnish Alberni’s image, threaten existing tourism and harm aquatic life in the Inlet by blocking out
photosynthesis with coal dust. For many Alberni residents, an even more concerning element of the proposed mine is the project’s reliance on Cathedral Grove. Although the tracks are still in place, the old E & N railway to Port Alberni hasn’t operated in over a decade, making Highway 4 the only transportation option in the Raven project’s application. Traffic is expected to entail three truckloads of coal an hour along the winding mountain passage into the Valley, plus the large vehicles’ journey back. Another issue the mine has faced is approval from First Nations. This factor has become essential for any large-scale natural resource development in Western Canada, as aboriginal groups identify a large portion of the country as their traditional territory – claims that have been recognized by the Supreme
Court of Canada in recent years. But possibly the most daunting challenge for the mine’s development is the sudden collapse of international coal prices. Metallurgical coal hit its lowest numbers in a decade last June, causing active mines that were profitable until recently to face cutbacks. Regardless of where the Raven Underground Coal Project progresses from here, the development’s recent troubles serve as an indicator of what Vancouver Island has become, and what will be possible in the future. Many places on the Island are now retirement destinations, creating communities with a large proportion of seniors more interested in enjoying their natural surroundings than subsisting off them. It’s a 21st century lesson Compliance Energy had to learn the hard way.

Tips on avoiding pitfalls in the office L
ast column, in the first half of a two-parter on meetings, we observed how this staple of the office workplace is a double-edged sword. Depending on how they are organized, meetings can be either productive or a horrendous drain on valuable work time. Today we’ll focus more on the etiquette of meetings, with reference to online journalist Tim Higgins, who offers advice to workforce newbies. Higgins notes that one basic but avoidable faux pas is showing up late for the meeting. This shows disrespect for the other participants and the time they’ve invested in the process. It’s also uncool to show up unprepared, without having read the material or with only a scant knowledge of the agenda. This suggests both disorganization and disinterest -- not qualities that are likely to impress your co-workers.
Dave MacFadden On the Job If you’re the new kid on the block, it’s going to take you some time to get a feel for how the office works and flows. Don’t be like the fresh-faced intern who was so excited to be at her first meeting that she sat down in the nearest chair, not realizing it was set aside for the company’s vice-president! Speaking out of turn is another early misstep, and fear of doing so may lead you to say very little. This is understandable (and arguably wise) for the first couple of meetings, but after that your lack of input may leave a poor impression, implying that you either have nothing valuable to add or are too timid to speak up. For new
workers in particular, contributing to meetings spells recognition, and recognition spells advancement. So how can a new worker avoid these pitfalls? Start by taking notice of what others are doing. This is the best way to determine what conduct is appropriate and what’s frowned upon. Come to meetings prepared, with an understanding of the agenda and what you’d like to contribute to the discussions. If you disagree with an idea or have concerns about it, ask open-ended questions rather than criticizing the person who offered it. Similarly, if someone takes issue with your ideas, try not to take it personally. Remaining relaxed and detached will project a more professional image. If the meeting starts to wander off track, the chairperson can try bringing participants back with a gentle reminder
like “That’s interesting, but maybe we can save that topic for later and move back to…” It can be useful to have a whiteboard or flipchart on hand to record side-topics for later discussion. A final note about meetings is that they also have a social side, seen in the more lighthearted bonding that happens while the group is assembling. Taking the occasional opportunity to muster the troops is hardly an abuse of the meeting format, so long as it’s not overused. What really defines a meeting’s effectiveness is what also defines the overall effectiveness of the office team: setting a common goal and working to achieve it. THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: “Nothing in the world is cheaper than a good idea with no action.” (Unknown). David MacFadden works at the local Alberni Valley Employment Centre.

Kingfisher rescued from West Coast
T
Although a little ugly, turkey vultures are the king of the clean up crew in nature eating dead and sometimes putrid smelling animals.
hese fairly ugly unpleasant smelling birds have so many interesting features that you can’t help but
like them. Turkey Vultures can smell better than humans and while a group of vultures, which is called a “Venue”, circle in the air (called a “Kettle”) they use their incredible olfactory senses. It is the attraction to the smell of mercaptan, a gas produced by the beginnings of decay that a turkey vulture is smelling. They do not eat live animals and prefer fresh meat but will not turn their noses up to rotten meat if there is no alternative available. They prefer the meat of herbivorous animals. While walking amongst a dead animal, these birds use their feces as a sanitizer. Their uric acid is so strong that it kills bacteria so while it may sound disgusting, pooping down their legs keeps them healthy. It’s their keen eyesight and smell that help them find their food. Like in the old western movies, kettling of vultures

signal something dead below. It may also mean they are gaining altitude for long flights or just playing. So often I have seen turkey vultures circling above the highway as I drive to Nanaimo. I always know there is probably a road kill on the side of the road. Male and female vultures are alike in appearance. The Turkey Vulture’s preferred habitat includes farmland with pasture and abundant carrion close to undisturbed forested areas for perching, roosting, and nesting. They nest in dark recesses beneath boulders, on cliff ledges, in hollow trees, logs, and stumps, and in abandoned buildings. In addition to being prone to accumulate pesticides and other contaminants, the Turkey Vulture has a propensity to feed in agricultural and roadside
habitats, making it vulnerable to accidental trapping, collisions, electrocution, shooting and the ingestion of lead from animals that have been shot. Its former persecution as a potential vector of livestock disease or as a predator of young animals has largely ceased, since these contentions have proved false. However, the Turkey Vulture is the main avian species causing damage and fatalities in military aircraft collisions in the United States. Tolerant of human activity and adaptable in its diet and choice of nest sites, this species has fared well in our changing landscapes; its populations are generally stable or increasing. On Saturday, September 19th at 1:30 pm NIWRA will be holding another 30th anniversary celebration devoted entirely to bears featuring NIWRA’s Assistant Wildlife Manager, Julie Mackey, who will describe the process of rehabilitating bears in our care. » Sylvia Campbell works at the North Island Wildlife Centre.

What would I want for my final meal?
I
n Thunder Bay, Ontario, recently, while giving a talk, I suddenly found my mouth watering. I mentioned that I was just 150 miles away from Quetico Park where I had spent two months alone years ago doing fish research. I said that the highest priced meal in the world could not compete with a yellow pickerel cooked over a camp fire. Which now brings me to the health benefits of eating fish today. We are often told we should eat fish as they’re a good choice for lean protein. People in Iceland eat a whopping 220 pounds of fish a year. The average North American eats a paltry 16 pounds annually, including fish sticks! This difference is in part due to the current worry about potential dangers. For instance, mercury accumulates in the lean tissue of some fish and it can cross the placental barrier during pregnancy. So too much mercury can cause fetal brain damage. In adults, excessive amounts can injure the heart. Dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are found in the fatty tissue of fish and animal examination shows they can cause cancer. Researchers are concerned that these agents may be carcinogenic in humans and also trigger neurological problems. But there are still many health benefits from eating fish. Two major research groups, the Harvard School of Public Health and the Institute of
Dr. Gifford Jones The Doctor Game Medicine (IOM) analyzed the pros and cons of fish in the diet. Harvard researchers found adequate evidence that eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA), two omega-3 fatty acids in fish, were important for good vision, the immune response, normal skin physiology and for fetal and infant development. And aboriginals who have a high dietary intake of fish have less heart disease. Another study reported in Archives of Ophthalmology showed that women who ate fish three times a week had a 42 percent lower risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people. A study at the University of Pittsburgh should also prompt more people to visit fish counters. MRI scans of the brains of those eating broiled or baked fish, but not fried, had greater volumes of gray matter in the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes. This matter is responsible for memory and learning. These are the areas severely affected in Alzheimer’s disease. So although there is some contamination from eating fish, the benefit far outweighs
the small risk. A healthy diet should include two three-ounce servings of fish a week. One cautionary note for pregnant and nursing mothers is that mercury is more likely to be present in the flesh of large long-living fish that prey on smaller short-living ones. So mothers should decline mackerel, shark, swordfish and tilefish also known as golden bass. But smaller fish contain large amounts of the fatty acid DHA essential for fetal development. Pregnant women should therefore eat 12 ounces of other types of fish and shellfish each week. The rest of us should know that not all fish are created equal. For instance, a threeounce serving of farmed salmon contains over 2,000
milligrams (mg) of omega-3 fats. But the same amount of shrimp eaten more than any other type of seafood by North Americans has only 250 mg., catfish 150mg. and lobster 71 mg. Arctic char provide more vitamin D than any other fish, with scallops a close second. Oysters are the highest in vitamin B12 and iron. You can’t beat tuna for its high potassium content and for calcium no fish can match crawfish. And if you’re looking for fish with high amounts of magnesium, which protects against fatal cardiac arrhythmias, order tuna or crawfish. But if you suffer from “Cholesterolphobia” don’t order crawfish, scallops or arctic char. Looking at the total picture, eating fish still provides a
healthy meal. But although fish is good for us, humans have not been so kind to fish. We’re continuing to pollute their environment and fish stocks are falling. Do I have a last request before I leave this planet? Yes, it’s a Heaven with lots of lakes loaded with yellow pickerel. I hope the Almighty is listening. » W.

Bulldogs acquire forward Seahawks hope to Team to announce its lineup today after 2-2-1 in pre-season
forget 2015’s ending
ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
TIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Alberni Valley Bulldogs have added another player for the upcoming season with the acquisition of Brodie Smith from the Cowichan Valley Capitals for future considerations. On late Sunday the Valley’s junior A hockey club announced the signing, bringing the 18-year-old forward to the lineup with full season of BCHL experience with the rival Capitals. Last season Smith notched 11 points in 46 games with the Capitals, including five goals, with 26 penalty minutes. At 5-10 and 170 pounds, Smith grew up in Parksville, where he spent his Junior B career with the Oceanside Generals before progressing to the BCHL. With the Bulldogs he will wear No. 8. In an interview with the Parksville Qualicum Beach News last June, the forward spoke of his plans to provide leadership over his second BCHL campaign. “I hope to be able to be a guy that the first-year players can learn [from] both on and off the ice,” he said. “It was nice having that in my first season and I’m
SEATTLE — They all processed the events differently, just as Pete Carroll encouraged. He wasn’t going to direct how to get past arguably the most stunning Super Bowl conclusion in history. Some may never get over what occurred when Russell Wilson’s pass found the arms of Malcolm Butler and not Ricardo Lockette. But the Seattle Seahawks are in agreement that the easiest way to escape the cloud of what happened is getting back there again. “We were on the 1-yard line. We don’t need to change much,” Wilson said. “I think that’s kind of our focus.” Seattle begins the season trying to become the first NFC team to win three successive conference titles. The Seahawks remain the class of the NFC West and with Green Bay are widely considered the best two teams in the conference. But there are new issues the Seahawks face that have nothing to do with any hangover from that February loss to New England. There’s internal strife: Strong safety Kam Chancellor — a Pro Bowl talent and respected locker-room voice — is holding out, and there is no signal of a resolution. There are personnel questions, specifically along the offensive line where veteran Max Unger is no longer around and Seattle will begin the season with two players, Drew Nowak and Garry Gilliam, who have never started an NFL game. And there’s the inevitable pull back to that post-Super Bowl feeling and if Seattle will get the chance to erase that memory. “That’s such an obvious factor because it gets brought up all the time, and you get asked the

hoping to do the same for guys in their first season too.” Today the Bulldogs plan to announce their roster for the first regular season game, where they will face Smith’s former Cowichan Valley team on Saturday. The Alberni squad’s exhibition games included back-to-back wins against Powell River and
Nanaimo in late August, a 6-5 loss to Cowichan on Sept. 2, a 1-1 tie with the Victoria Grizzlies at the Weyerhaeuser Area on Friday and 7-2 loss to the Grizzlies the following evening. The Bulldogs’ first home game is on Sept. 19 against Victoria. News@avtimes.net
Clara Hughes admits to doping THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Former Olympian Clara Hughes has revealed a previously undisclosed anti-doping rule violation from 1994. Hughes wrote in her newly released memoir that she tested positive for the banned substance ephedrine in 1994 and that she was notified of the test result by Cycling Canada’s then national team director. Hughes says in the book that the violation was inten-
tionally kept quiet. The offence occurred before the creation of the World Anti-Doping Agency or the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, Canada’s national anti-doping body. “Cycling Canada cannot condone how this matter was handled at the time by any of those involved,” said a statement from the organization. “Regardless of the practices of the day, Cycling Canada believes in full, fair and open disclosure of all doping
related offences. We remain fully committed to the principles of fair play and rigid compliance with the WADA Code.” Hughes informed Cycling Canada of the revelation in her upcoming biography in late August and gave the governing body a copy of the manuscript excerpt about the incident. The organization put out its statement late Sunday night, revealing the details of the doping violation from the unreleased memoir.

questions and stuff. We understand that, and everybody gets that,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. “How many teams get back to a championship game twice, and then how many teams get back to it three times? There’s no reason for anybody to think you can do that, it just doesn’t happen. So that’s a cool thing, that’s a cool challenge for us. So all of that kind of has a subtle way of fueling us.” What to watch for as the Seahawks open the season on Sunday at St. Louis: FEED THE BEAST: Marshawn Lynch is entering that unique age for running backs where production typically drops off. Lynch turned 29 in April, but if last season was any indication, he is not slowing down. Lynch rushed for 1,306 yards — second most in his career — and a career-high 13 touchdowns in the regular season. The addition of veteran and close friend Fred Jackson should make it possible to give Lynch breaks; Jackson will likely be Seattle’s main third-down running back. HERE’S JIMMY: Seattle stayed basic during the preseason with how it used new offensive toy Jimmy Graham. Expect the Seahawks to start showing off Graham’s versatility now.

Blue Jays fall 11-4 in series opener against Boston KEN POWTAK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — The Toronto Blue Jays are trying to slug their way to an AL East title. They’ll need better pitching than this, though. Jackie Bradley Jr. had four hits with a two-run home run and four RBIs, Rick Porcello pitched into the eighth inning and the Boston Red Sox beat the East-leading Blue Jays 11-4 Monday. The Blue Jays lost for just the fourth time in 16 games, but had their lead atop the East sliced to a half game over the New York Yankees, who beat Baltimore 8-6 on Monday. Working on seven days’ rest after complaining of fatigue, Mark Buehrle (14-7) gave up five runs on nine hits in 3 1-3 innings. The bullpen wasn’t much better, giving up six runs on eight hits. The Blue Jays lost the opener of their last series in Baltimore 10-2 but responded to win the

next two games. Toronto manager John Gibbons said he has “some concerns� about Buehrle, who has had a couple of tough outings recently. The veteran left-hander said he
felt fine. “I felt better today than I have in the last couple,� he said. “It’s pretty much September is what it was. It was just one of those days where their offence was
there. I’ll take today — besides the results — just about any day.� Josh Donaldson and Justin Smoak each hit solo homers for Toronto. Donaldson’s was his 37th. Toronto leads the majors with 191 homers and 750 runs. Bradley added two singles and a double and Travis Shaw hit a two-run homer for Boston, which posted its fourth straight win and eighth in 11 games. “I’m not trying to force anything,� said Bradley of his recent offensive surge. “I’m trying to swing at strikes.� Porcello (7-12) had his third consecutive strong start since coming off the disabled list following a right triceps strain. He allowed four runs — three earned — and eight hits over 7 1-3 innings. David Ortiz had a pair of doubles and an RBI. The second was high off the Green Monster — below a sign with the white numbers “497� that signify his
chase to become the 27th player to hit 500 career homers. The Red Sox broke in front 5-1 by scoring twice in both the third and fourth. Bradley homered into the first row of Monster seats in a threerun sixth. The 25-year-old outfielder, who shuttled between Triple-A Pawtucket and the majors this season, continued his torrid pace. Since Aug. 9, he’s hitting .446 with 24 extra-base hits in 25 games. “I think that there is a general overall confidence that he is showing right now,� Red Sox interim manager Torey Lovullo said. “And he can walk up to the plate and hit at any count and any pitch at any part of the at-bat, and that is from a lot of hard work behind the scenes that he has put in.� Xander Bogaerts’ run-scoring grounder pushed Boston in front 2-1 before Ortiz’s RBI double.

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Use your resourcefulness with a child or loved one who seems to be driving a hard bargain. Your sensitivity remains high, but remember not to push beyond your natural limits. Knowing your objective will help point the way. Tonight: Stay close to home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Consider the past few days before you start any project. You will want to accomplish a lot more quickly, though you could be more tired than you realize. Stay close to home, if possible. A situation might arise that could encourage you to rethink a friendship. Tonight: Make it easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on, yet you might need to handle a personal matter first. Don’t settle for anything less than what you feel is right. Listen to someone else’s tale of woe and recognize the tension it has created. Tonight: Let the party begin. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You see a personal matter differently from how many other

people see it. The reason is that you understand people’s feelings better than others. Open up to a new possibility. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a confusing situation. Tonight: Treat yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be honest when you are feeling out of sorts. Sometimes you would be best off retreating and not putting on your sunny face. Everyone needs some time off -- even you. Take a day just for you, and you will see the difference. Tonight: Take a nap, then decide. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can’t continue to pressure yourself as you have. If you feel up to it, push yourself today, but plan on getting some downtime very soon. You seem to have been angry about a situation, and could lose your temper. Have a discussion instead. Tonight: Make it an early night. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more forthright in how you deal with another person. Your sense of humor emerges once more when dealing with an irritable yet funny friend. Accomplish what

you must before you socialize. You will hear a lot of news. Tonight: Be prepared for a fun happening. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Continue to be uninvolved with a complex situation. You understand the dynamics involved better than the majority of people, but that does not mean you need to deal with this matter. Open up to new possibilities and new ideas. Tonight: Catch up on emails and calls. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) An associate will sense your fatigue, even if you don’t.

Tonight: Let the party begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are respected and known to give good advice. Listen to the nature of the questions you are being asked. You might notice that something is afoot. Just observe and get more information. Try not to let others know what you know! Tonight: Dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be too tired to continue to push so hard. Be aware of what is going on around you. Perhaps someone unintentionally is creating more work for you than you would like to handle. Have a conversation, if need be. Tonight: The later it gets, the more fun you have. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot to share, and share you will. However, your creativity and imagination could point you in a new direction. A child or loved one delights you with his or her responses. Make the most of your time together. Tonight: The party goes on and on.

TRAVEL TIMESHARE
On behalf of me and my daughters, Fisher, River and Autumn, I would like to thank everyone who shown their love and support after the loss of my husband, and the girl’s father, Morgan Thorp. It has been a very hard and life-changing ten months since his passing. We could not have gotten through it without the love and support of family, friends and others in the three communities we call home – Port Alberni, Ucluelet and Tofino. Special thanks to Graeme and Seanna Alexander who started a Go-Fund-me account for Morgan’s Girls. The funds from this allowed me to stay at home with the girls and focus on our grieving and trying to adjust to life without Morgan. I recently returned to work, and the remaining money from this account has been put towards a down-payment on a home in Port Alberni, and education funds for all three girls. This wouldn’t have been possible without the outpouring of generosity from many kind people. I’m overwhelmed with the love and support people have shown. It has made our dark days a little brighter. This thank-you is long overdue, but believe me when I say, “We really appreciate everything everyone has done, and are so thankful and blessed." Love, Jodi, Fisher, River and Autumn Thorp

Reilly returns, Eskimos still lose Edmonton loses 26-11 to the Calgary Stampeders after starting QB gets pulled CALGARY — Mike Reilly’s return to the lineup couldn’t spark the Edmonton Eskimos to a win over the Calgary Stampeders on Labour Day. With his team trailing 13-4 in the fourth quarter, Reilly entered the game in relief of starting quarterback James Franklin, who completed 13-of-28 passes for 105 yards up to that point. “I knew that I needed to be available,� said Reilly, who had been out of the lineup since suffering a knee injury in Edmonton’s 26-11 loss to the Toronto Argonauts in Fort McMurray, Alta., on June 27. “We obviously wanted to have a little more time to practise, to get the timing down and knock the rust off and to really test the knee before putting it to work in a game scenario. I think we all felt comfortable as well that if I needed to go in I would be able to and we wouldn’t be risking anything.� Although Reilly engineered a sixplay, 49-yard drive that led to an 18-yard field goal by Sean Whyte, the Stamps bounced back with a 45-yard field goal by Rene Paredes on their way to a 16-7 victory. Reilly completed 5-of-12 passes for 90 yards, while finishing as Edmonton’s leading rusher with 25 yards on three carries. “Today I was happy that I had to take off and run a couple times and get tackled a few times,� said Reilly, who added he’s confident he’s healthy enough to start for the Eskimos when the same two teams meet again on Saturday at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium. “That was really the last thing

that I needed to test was whether I could take off and sprint and take a tackle and have my knee feel the same. Today, we learned that information. I feel good about where it’s at, but again that’s up to the coaching staff to decide.� Edmonton coach Chris Jones said he and his coaching staff will evaluate how Reilly throws the ball in the days leading up to Saturday’s rematch before deciding who will start the game. “We’ll make that decision later on,� said Jones, who was pleased
to see Reilly get right back up after getting sacked by hulking Calgary defensive lineman Charleston Hughes. “When he gets out there and extends drives, it certainly brings a bit of momentum to your team.� Edmonton receiver Adarius Bowman was happy to see Reilly enter the game in the fourth quarter. “It’s always good to get one of your leaders back on the field,� said Bowman, who caught three passes from Reilly for 78 yards to finish as the game’s top receiver with five
catches for 93 yards. “It was good to have Mike out there. His leadership, just hearing his voice and his presence, I think it made a small difference for us.� Bowman wouldn’t be surprised to see Reilly get the start on Saturday. “I think Mike’s always ready,� said Bowman, while adding he’s confident the Eskimos can respond with a much better effort. “Calgary’s a good team. We’ve got to go back and re-evaluate and get ready in five days to play these guys again.�
