Marie Harvey’s daily routine includes a glimpse out the window of her riverside home to check on Charlie’s bench.
Charlie Harvey’s memorial bench sits on Riverside Avenue near the old Elks lot and faces the Victoria Street Bridge so anyone choosing to pass a few moments at the site can gaze over the mighty Columbia River from the peaceful viewpoint.
“My family wanted to do something in mem-ory of Charlie,” said Marie. “They didn’t want to waste money on flowers so I told my sister I was thinking of a bench. She told the rest of the family and that was how it came about, from our whole family in memory of Charlie.”
The park bench is one of 113 donated by families through the city’s memorial bench program, which encourages passersby to stop for a moment and remember Trail’s finest on a comfortable perch or at a picnic table.
The most favoured area for the benches has been Gyro Park, but Trail continues to expand opportunities in public parks and on city land, so benches can be anchored in spots especially meaningful to the person being remembered.
“It makes me feel good when I see people sit-ting on Charlie’s bench,”said Marie. “Because I know they stop and look at his plaque each time that happens.”
The city has opened up Jubilee Park along the Esplanade by pouring concrete pads to accom-modate more benches, said Andrea Jolly, Trail’s communication and events coordinator. “The natural light is really appealing to enjoy the park
and to place a bench there.”Some benches are open to sponsorship along
the Esplanade, Jolly added, noting that if the pedestrian bridge proceeds to become a compon-ent of the riverwalk, there is further potential for more benches in that location.
Since the program’s inception 15 years ago, the total community contribution towards the memorial initiative nears $134,000.
The nonprofit program offers a six-foot alum-inum bench for $1,200 that includes installation, a four-by-six inch bronze plaque and the main-tenance of the bench for 10 years.
When sewer problems forced workers to dig up the area where her husband’s bench was located a few years ago, Marie said the city looked after the bench in storage until the pipes were repaired, then thoughtfully placed Charlie’s bench in its current spot.
“Larry (Abenante) was a very good friend to Charlie so he had it in storage all that time the work was being done,” she said. “It doesn’t really affect the history of the bench because it was put back in a slightly different spot with care.”
Another opportunity for donating park bench-es will be available this summer as the second leg of downtown Trail’s revitalization plan continues.
Street furniture benches will be installed along the Victoria Street corridor and open to memorial bench sponsorship as requested.
“This has become a very popular program with Trail citizens,” said Jolly. “Many out-of -towners comment on the number of memorial benches. It has become very successful and is a wonderful way to honour the memory of loved ones.”

The people have spoken and Norm Casler and the Trail and District Chamber of Commerce have lis-tened.
On Aug. 20, the chamber will be host-ing a special edition market for those that can't make it to the usual Friday Market on the Esplanade.
“The special eve-ning edition of the Trail Market on the Esplanade was arranged because we got so many requests from people that can't normally attend the day markets, mostly because they are work-ing,” he said. “This will answer those requests.”
The evening edition of the market provides opportunities not only to the visitors, but the vendors as well and allows the chamber to see how valuable the market is to the com-munity.
“(It) will allow us to gauge the popularity of an evening market for future (markets),” said Casler. “This not only gives so many more people a chance to see what the markets have to offer but also allows the vendors to reach new customers.”
Even those who aren't looking to buy from the vendors are invited to the market, says Casler.
“We will have a full four-piece band with some of the fin-est musicians around – Clinton Swanson and Friends,” he said. “(The band) will showcase an outstanding evening of blues, jazz, R&B, funk and swing to keep the crowd entertained.”
Those who are look-ing for a hearty home-made dinner on Aug. 20 are also welcome to come on down.
“(We hope guests will) enjoy some of the great food vendors that will be there and simply enjoy an evening in one of the most beautiful locations a market has ever been,” said Casler.
The market is all about business devel-opment and Casler says adding one more mar-ket at a different time of day can only benefit. Casler wants business-es who aren't going to be at the market to stay open too.
“The market has always been about getting more people, action and excitement happening in the down-town core,” he said. “All businesses in the area are encouraged to take advantage of the extra traffic by staying open late, holding side-walk sales, doing mar-ket day specials or even take a spot at the night market.”
The market runs from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the Wednesday evening and accord-ing to Casler, there are already over 50 vendors signed up to sell.

Park benches, bike racks, receptacles and crimson details are the accoutrements to downtown Trail’s revital-izing makeover currently underway.
As the greening leg of the Victoria Street Corridor pro-ject winds down this week, the city is rolling forward to position “street furniture” along the roadway to add character to the refurbished areas.
Over the next few weeks, 12 benches, garbage reposi-tories and 30-plus bollards that match the red details of the minor gateway features, will pop up along the street to create colour and décor.
Bollards are structures used for protection and aesthetic appeal, explained Andrea Jolly, Trail’s com-munication and events
coordinator.The structural posts are
three feet high and were manufactured by Hil-Tech Contracting, the same com-pany that fabricated and installed the trio of minor gateway features located at the intersections of Victoria Street and Pine, Cedar and Bay avenues.
The gateway features act as navigational aids for guests and visitors to the city, and during this phase of improve-ments, the Cedar Ave. post will be moved across the street for better visibility.
City crews will install the benches, round garbage bins and recycling baskets for cans and bottles, said Jolly, adding that strategic place-ment of the bike racks is still under review.
So far, the second phase of downtown Trail improve-ments have gone off without a hitch and remain on sched-ule to wrap up by September.
Other than short term traf-
fic hold-ups in June during excavations at the Rossland Avenue intersection, traffic delays have been far less than anticipated, Jolly noted.
“There have been no major delays or unforeseen condi-tions during the project,” she added.
The downtown cor-ridor upgrades are part of the city’s revitalization plan that established a framework of entry features including greenery and streetscape to build urban identity and pro-vide “cues” that a visitor is entering the downtown core.
Earlier this year, Trail
council opted to defer the $135,000 major gateway features that were initially prime components of Phase 2 upgrades in an effort to balance a $327,000 budget shortfall.
When further pro-ject expenses exceeded the budget’s limit, Trail council agreed to defer an additional $205,000 in streetscape com-ponents including a Cedar Ave. information kiosk esti-mated to cost $57,000 and $8,000 worth of site furni-ture.
“We are getting into a bit of a bind financially folks,” said Coun. Gord DeRosa dur-ing budget talks. “And I think this is a year of a new council coming in and they are going to be facing some pretty steep hills.”
After project deferrals, the overall shortfall for Phase 2 is about $123,000, an amount council consented to pull from the city’s surplus funds account.
Downtown Trail upgrades almost done

Aron Tinsley (raking) and Jason Belding were spreading out the finishing touches on the city’s new planting beds this week. The greening leg of Phase 2 of the downtown revitalization project is almost complete and the next stage, installing street-scape features, will commence next week.
“There have been no major delays
or unforeseen conditions during
the project.”

The Regional District of Central Kootenay has launched a lawsuit against Teck Resources Ltd. over contamination from a tailings pond near Salmo.
According to a statement of claim filed late last month with the BC Supreme Court in Vancouver, the regional district wants reimbursement for ongoing remedi-ation work on the old HB mine site, which it bought for landfill purposes in 1998.
Teck, formerly Cominco, owned the property from 1955 to 1981 and oper-ated the mine until 1978. The regional district says the contamination consists of lead, zinc, cadmium, and arsenic and
that “numerous” tailings releases occurred while the mine operated.
It also cited a 2007 incident in which flows from the tailings pond spread to a nearby property. In July 2012, heavy rain caused a sinkhole to form on the pond’s earthen dam. The regional district spent more than $800,000 stabilizing and recon-structing the dam, which it billed to the province.
It claims Teck “failed to take any steps … to prevent the migration of the contam-ination off of the property to the off-site areas” while the RDCK continues to incur costs for remediation.
It says that work includes building an engineered wetland to treat surface water,
groundwater monitoring, and completion of a containment berm to prevent leach-ing. However, it’s not clear from the state-ment of claim exactly how much taxpayers have been on the hook for.
None of the allegations have been prov-en in court.
RDCK chair John Kettle said the lawsuit was filed only after “making every effort” to convince Teck the materials in the tail-ings pond are their responsibility, even though the company has not owned the property for more than 30 years.
“We believe when you create an environ-mental hazard like that, you can’t just sell it and walk away,” he said. “You’re liable for clean up. We intend to pursue that as
aggressively as possible. Their belief that caveat emptor applies is asinine.”
Teck said it had yet to receive the state-ment of claim, but in a written statement the company said it has a “long history” of working collaboratively with commun-ities, including regional districts, munici-palities and indigenous people.
“We will review the claim with counsel and we intend to respond in due course,” the company said.
At the time of the tailings dam prob-lem in 2012, CBC News reported that the regional district paid $650,000 more for the site than the previous owner, a Panamanian company that purchased it only a year earlier.

It was a bit hazy in Trail on Thursday and Fanny Bernard, forest information officer with the Southeast Fire Zone, says it is hard to tell where it is coming from.
“We get that question a lot,” she said adding it's all about the weather. “There are so many fires burning across B.C., the States, the Northwest Territories and Alberta. Depending on the
weather patterns it is really hard to pinpoint where the smoke would be coming from on any given day. It depends on a lot of things, but mostly the dominant winds.”
Bernard suggested visit-ing www.bcairquality.ca/blueskies to see a realtime forecast of where in the prov-ince is going to be the smoki-est.
“It gives a graphic forecast for where the smoke is going to be,” she said. “They do a
forecast for every hour. It is a model.”
The British Columbia Ministry of Environment suggests a few ways to reduce the affect of the smoky skies on residents of the area.
In a media release, the ministry suggests stopping or reducing outdoor activi-ties, especially if breathing becomes difficult.
They also urge people to stay cool and drinks lots of fluids.

The boards of education have no power to either bring about a settlement or strongly influence a settle-ment between the province and teachers in the ongoing labour dispute, said Darrel Ganzert.
What the boards can do, including trustees on the School District 20 (SD20) panel, is protect public edu-cation and try their best to get school back in next month, continued SD20’s board chair.
“We are on the sidelines and we are limited to trying to protect public education,” explained Ganzert.
“The trustees’ objective and the will in our district as well is to get school back in session and offering a solu-tion to a problem. It may not be fair to the teachers but what it does is get pub-lic school back in session in September.”
Ganzert said boards of education across the prov-
ince recognize the gov-ernment is underfunding public education and its members have made num-erous statements “time after time” over the matter. Most recently, B.C.’s boards banded together and com-municated, to both sides, back-to-school action that has one goal – to get stu-dents back in the classroom on schedule.
The boards of education ask teachers to recognize that the government has a mandate for wage increases and teachers fall within that mandate, explained Ganzert. Additionally, board mem-bers ask the government that all money saved dur-ing the teacher’s job action be reinvested into the public education system.
“This is our suggestion to the government and the teachers,” said Ganzert. “We’ve written numerous times to both parties asking them to protect public edu-cation. This is just one more step in that direction from
the trustees.”The province’s 40,000
teachers launched a full-scale strike about two weeks before the end of the school year, calling for wage hikes and for the Ministry of Education to address issues such as class size and composition.
The union’s most recent proposal sought a salary hike and two multimillion-dollar funds to hire more teach-ers and resolve grievances, but provincial government officials said the proposals are not affordable when com-pared with other public sec-tor workers.
Last week, B.C.’s finance minister announced a sub-sidy that would give par-ents $40 a day for child care tutoring or other educational options for children under 13 if the strike extends into the school year. The money would come from the $12 million the government saves each day that teachers are not in the classroom.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SVICTORIA - The provin-
cial methadone program for treating addictions to hero-in, morphine and oxycodone saves both lives and money, says a new report from British Columbia’s medical health officer.
Dr. Perry Kendall’s report released Thursday states the mortality rate for people in opioid substitution treatment is about half of what it is for those using street heroin.
The rate of death for those using methadone or Suboxone has fallen to 1.1 per 100 per-son years compared with 2.09 per 100 person years for those getting their opioids from the street, the report said.
“Greater access to opioid substitution treatment, along
with other harm reduction initiatives, has helped contrib-ute to the lower incidence of HIV infection among people who inject drugs,” Kendall’s report concluded.
The report also said the annual per-patient costs for treatment programs in B.C. is about $4,200 compared with as much as $45,000 in Ontario and the United States for those with untreated opi-oid addictions.
The B.C. costs include physician, pharmacy and drug costs, while the costs from Ontario and the United States include estimated health care, law enforcement and other social costs.
“I am encouraged by the findings in this report that indicate that B.C.’s opioid substitution treatment system is saving patients’ lives and saving the health-care sys-
tem and society money,” said Health Minister Terry Lake in a news release.
The provincial treatment program now extends beyond Vancouver with 3,000 pharma-cists participating and almost 350 physicians prescribing methadone or Suboxone in the reporting year.
The report says 15,754 B.C. residents were involved in the opioid substitution treatment program between 2012 and 2013, a 66 per cent increase from 2007 and 2008.
The Fraser Health Authority was treating the most patients at more than 6,700.
The B.C. substitution treat-ment system is supported by the Ministry of Health, Pharmacare, the college of Physicians and surgeons of B.C. and the College of Pharmicists of B. C.

Mount Polley Mine management was await-ing a second permit amendment from the B.C. government to increase water released from its tailings facili-ties when the tailings pond dam breached in the early hours of Aug. 4.
Ministry of Environment records show the mine has had an effluent permit since 1997, and has oper-ated since startup with a water surplus due to precipitation. In 2009 the company applied to amend the permit to allow discharge of up to 1.4 million cubic meters of water a year to discharge dam seepage effluent into Hazeltine Creek.
That permit was approved in 2012 after an independent report was commissioned to examine water quality impacts from sediment and contaminants, and measures needed to con-trol them.
With the mine and its tailings facilities expand-ing and an exhausted pit being converted to underground mining, Mount Polley applied for another amendment to discharge up to three million cubic meters of treated water to Polley Lake.
“That application was received by the min-istry this summer and is being considered,” the Ministry of Environment said in a statement Wednesday.
Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said Mount Polley mine does not have acid-producing rock, which reacts with contam-inants such as arsenic and mercury and allows them to mix with water. Bennett was on site this week with mine inspect-ors and environment ministry staff.
“We will find out if the company was not in compliance,” Bennett said Wednesday. “If they were hiding anything, if they made mistakes in building the dam higher, we will find out and hold them to account.”
Brian Kynoch, presi-dent of parent company Imperial Metals, was asked about the latest permit amendment at a public meeting in Likely Tuesday, where residents were shocked at the devastation and worried about the water quality in their lakes and rivers.
“I think we’re about to get the increase,” Kynoch said.
Kynoch said the
breach did not occur at the highest point of the tailings dam, where water pressure was greatest, and the pond level was 2.5 metres below the top of the dam at the time.
Ministry records show Mount Polley was warned about high pond levels May 24, with the level returning to authorized levels by June 30. In April the company was issued an advisory about bypass of authorized treatment works due to high water flows in the spring run-off period.
Samples of tailings pond water taken Aug. 4 showed selenium con-centration 2.8 times the drinking water guide-line. Concentration of nitrates, cadmium, copper, iron and sel-enium have occasion-ally exceeded aquatic life guidelines in recent years. The permit required water volume not to exceed 35 per cent of the creek flow to dilute it.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SWEST VANCOUVER,
B.C. - Stalled immi-gration reforms in the United States are an opportunity for Canada to scoop up a wealth of young, “brilliant” foreign nationals and direct them into bur-geoning tech-sector employment, the fed-eral employment min-ister said Wednesday.
Minister Jason Kenney heartily endorsed his govern-ment’s efforts to entice educated immigrants north of the 49th parallel as a direct counter to American policy obstacles to set-tling down there after earning highly-prized degrees.
“We’re seeking very deliberately to benefit from the dys-functional American immigration system. I make no bones about it,” Kenney emphatic-ally told reporters at a West Vancouver news conference, where he was announcing fund-ing to help skilled new-comers get certified to work in Canada.
Kenney said the government has no concerns about aspir-ing to capitalize off the “super smart” gradu-ates being produced in the U.S., where tens of thousands of young people from around the world attend pres-tigious schools like Stanford University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of California.
He said Canada will promote “very aggres-sively” the oppor-tunities it provides, including its budding
start-up visa pro-gram and incoming fast-track program to permanent residency, to entrepreneurs want-ing to launch compan-ies but finding them-selves blocked from obtaining green cards.
Last month, federal Immigration Minister Chris Alexander was in Vancouver to celebrate the 17-month-old visa program’s milestone of accepting its first two applicants. The government has said it will issue a maximum of 2,750 visas for each year of the five-year pilot, which is limited to entrepreneurs who already have the back-ing of a venture capital firm in Canada.
“If the United States doesn’t want to open the door to perma-nent residency for them, that door will be opened in principle for them to come to Canada,” Kenney said.
Just over a year ago, Kenney travelled to the San Francisco
Bay area where Silicon Valley has already claimed an estimated 350,000 Canadians and campaigned for for-eign talent. The fed-eral government had just erected a massive billboard, emblazoned with a giant red maple leaf, advertising dir-ectly to foreign nation-als saddled with visa
troubles.Kenney said on
Wednesday the “Pivot to Canada” billboard mounted in California in May 2013 generated “massive interest and buzz” in the Silicon Valley tech sector.
Asked whether Canada might get any
pushback from the U.S. for openly court-ing its grads in the face of impassioned U.S. debate on the issue, Kenney said he has raised the govern-ment’s objectives “very openly” in Washington.
“And the (U.S.) advocates for immi-gration reform have used Canada’s activity there and the Silicon Valley (scenario) as an argument for com-prehensive immi-gration reform in Washington,” he said.
“We’ll leave that to the Congress and (U.S. President Barack Obama) to resolve, that’s their policy domain, not ours.”
Kenney’s enthusi-asm to continue the
drive for global tal-ent he initiated while immigration minis-ter came as he made another in a series of announcements aimed at improving recogni-tion of foreign creden-tials.
The minister attended a library in West Vancouver to reveal a $3.3 million funding package for the British Columbia government, aimed at matching more skilled immigrants with work.
The cash is slated to fund more than 30 projects meant to remove barriers faced by newcomers who are trained overseas, with a particular focus in B.C. on the energy and resource sectors.

T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SEDMONTON - Alberta’s auditor general
says former premier Alison Redford and her office used public resources inappropriately.
Merwan Saher concludes that they con-sistently failed to demonstrate that travel expenses were necessary and a reasonable and appropriate use of taxpayer money.
He says Redford used public assets, includ-ing government aircraft, for personal and partisan purposes.
“Overall, the expense practices and use of public assets by premier Redford and her office have fallen short of publicly stated goals,” Saher wrote in a report Thursday.
“How could this happen? The answer is the aura of power around premier Redford and her office and the perception that the influence of the office should not be questioned.”
Saher also says that Redford was involved in a plan to add a premier’s suite to a government building being renovated near the legislature.
Saher makes the conclusions in a review of Redford’s travel expenses and use of govern-ment aircraft.
He lays the blame squarely on Redford and her staff.
“It would be wrong for anyone to extrapo-late our findings and conclusions to the public service of Alberta as a whole.”
Redford resigned as premier in March as a caucus revolt brewed over her leadership style and lavish spending.
She resigned her seat as a backbencher Wednesday and in a letter acknowledged mis-takes were made during her time in office.
She said she would not be commenting further.
Premier David Hancock, who has had the report since Friday, said he wants the RCMP to review Saher’s findings.

‘Pivot’ program to lure skilled workers
T H E C A N A D I A N P R E S SOTTAWA - Russia is
responding to fresh sanctions from Canada, the U.S. and other countries with a ban on food imports for a year, as well as threatening airspace retaliation.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says the ban covers meat, fish, milk and milk products and fruit and vegetables from Canada, the U.S., the European Union, Australia and Norway.
“For a long time, Russia has not responded to the so-called sanctions declared against it by certain coun-tries,” Medvedev told a gov-ernment meeting.
“Until the last moment,
we hoped that our foreign colleagues would realize that sanctions lead to a blind alley, and that no one benefits from them. But they didn’t realize this, and now we have been forced to respond.”
The move comes a day after Canada slapped new sanctions and travel bans on several top Russian and Ukrainian polit-icians and groups with ties to Putin’s government.
In Canada, pork produ-cers are expected to take the biggest hit from the Russian sanctions. Canada’s agri-cultural exports to Russia amounted to $563 mil-lion in 2012, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, mostly from frozen
pork.Canada’s latest sanctions
against Russia, imposed in tandem with the U.S. and the EU, came amid reports the Russians are amassing thou-sands of troops along the Ukrainian border.
Russian President Vladimir Putin retaliated by ordering authorities to draft a list of agricultural products from countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia.
Medvedev said Russia is also considering banning Western carriers from flying over Russia on flights to and from Asia - a move that would significantly hike costs and increase flight time. He said a decision on that hasn’t been
made yet.“I’d like to emphasize
that all these measures are not being introduced yet, but otherwise can be imple-mented either separately or together. As a result, the expenses of Western airlines will grow significantly,” he said.
Industry Minister James Moore said the world needs to continue to “stand firm” against Russia, despite the escalation of sanctions.
While the government will assess how seriously the sanctions could impact the Canadian economy, “we will not be intimidated by these kinds of tactics,” Moore said in Montreal.
Russia bans food imports from Canada
“We’re seeking very deliberately
to benefit from the dysfunctional American immi-gration system.”

OPINION
Global Warming deniers getting desperateThe Heartland
Institute’s recent I n t e r n a t i o n a l Climate Change
Conference in Las Vegas illustrates climate change deniers’ desperate confu-sion. As Bloomberg News noted, “Heartland’s strat-egy seemed to be to throw many theories at the wall and see what stuck.”
A who’s who of fossil fuel industry supporters and anti-science shills vari-ously argued that global warming is a myth; that it’s happening but natural – a result of the sun or “Pacific Decadal Oscillation”; that it’s happening but we shouldn’t worry about it; or that global cooling is the real problem.
The only common thread, Bloomberg reported, was the prepon-derance of attacks on and jokes about Al Gore: “It rarely took more than a minute or two before one punctuated the swirl of opaque and occasionally conflicting scientific theor-ies.”
Personal attacks are common among deniers. Their lies are continually debunked, leaving them with no rational challenge to overwhelming scientific evidence that the world is
warming and that humans are largely responsible. Comments under my col-umns about global warm-ing include endless rep-etition of falsehoods like “there’s been no warming for 18 years”, “it’s the sun”, and references to “com-munist misanthropes”, “libtard warmers”, alarm-ists and worse . . .
Far worse. Katharine Hayhoe, director of Texas Tech’s Climate Science Center and an evangelical Christian, had her email inbox flooded with hate mail and threats after conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh denounced her, and right-wing blogger Mark Morano published her email address. “I got an email the other day so obscene I had to file a police report,” Hayhoe said in an interview on the Responding to Climate Change website. “They mentioned my child. It had all kinds of sexual perver-sions in it – it just makes your skin crawl.”
One email chastised her for taking “a man’s job” and called for her public execu-tion, finishing with, “If you have a child, then women in the future will be even more leery of lying to get ahead, when they see your
baby crying next to the bas-ket next to the guillotine.”
Many attacks came from fellow Christians unable to accept that humans can affect “God’s creation”.
That’s a belief held even by a few well-known scien-tists and others held up as climate experts, including Roy Spencer, David Legates and Canadian economist Ross McKitrick. They’ve signed the Cornwall Alliance’s Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming, which says,
“We believe Earth and its ecosystems – created by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admir-ably suited for human flourishing, and displaying
His glory. Earth’s climate system is no exception.”
This world view pre-determines their approach to the science.
Lest you think nasty, irrational comments are exclusively from fringe elements, remember the gathering place for most deniers, the Heartland Institute, has compared those who accept the evi-dence for human-caused climate change to terror-ists.
Similar language was used to describe the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a full-page ad in USA Today and Politico from the Environmental Policy Alliance, a front group set up by PR firm Berman and Company, which has attacked environ-mentalists, labour-rights advocates, health organ-izations – even Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Humane Society – on behalf of funders and cli-ents including Monsanto, Wendy’s and tobacco giant Phillip Morris. The ter-rorism meme was later picked up by Pennsylvania Republican congressman Mike Kelly.
Fortunately, most people don’t buy irrational attempts to disavow sci-
ence. A Forum Research poll found 81 per cent of Canadians accept the real-ity of global warming, and 58 per cent agree it’s mostly human-caused. An Ipsos MORI poll found that, although the U.S. has a higher number of cli-mate change deniers than 20 countries surveyed, 54 per cent of Americans believe in human-caused climate change. (Research also shows climate change denial is most prevalent in English-speaking coun-tries, especially in areas “served” by media outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch, who rejects climate sci-ence.)
It’s time to shift atten-tion from those who sow doubt and confusion, either out of ignorance or mis-anthropic greed, to those who want to address a real, serious problem. The BBC has the right idea, instruct-ing its reporters to improve accuracy by giving less air time to people with anti-science views, including climate change deniers.
Solutions exist, but every delay makes them more difficult and costly.

Ebola is a truly fright-ening disease, with a fatality rate as high as 95 percent (although
the death rate in the current outbreak in West Africa is only 55-60 percent). At the moment, it is largely confined to a heav-ily forested inland area where the borders of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea meet, although cases have already appeared in the capital cities of all three coun-tries.
It could get much worse. If ebola success-fully made the jump to a more p r o s p e r o u s , densely popu-lated country like Nigeria, whose citizens travel all over the world, the current 800 recorded deaths could become 8,000, or 80,000, or even more. And the worst of it is that there is no effective vaccine or treat-ment for ebola.
Let me rephrase that. There is no APPROVED vaccine or treatment for ebola. There are candidates, some of which have shown promising results when tested on non-human pri-mates. But they haven’t gone through the full testing process that is necessary before they are approved for human use, because nobody was willing to pay for it.
The normal procedure in the United States, home to more than half of the world’s major drug companies (“Big Pharma”), is that basic research for new drugs may be paid for by government grants or even by private philanthropy (like Bill Gates’s $200 million dona-tion for research on a malaria vaccine), but the work of bring-ing the drugs to market is left to the commercial companies. All too often, they simply can’t be bothered.
It costs hundred of millions of dollars to take a drug through
the whole approval process and put it on the market. That’s worthwhile if the drug will then sell at a high cost and be used regularly over long periods of time: a drug that fights “rich people’s diseases” like cancer or heart disease, say, or even something like Viagra. But a one-shot vaccine that would
mainly be used by poor Africans will never make a prof-it, so it is ignored.
G a l v a n i s e d by the panic over ebola, the National Institutes of Health in the United States has now scheduled phase one trials of an ebola vac-cine on human subjects for next month. But there are two more
phases after that, and the earli-est a vaccine could be approved for general use is next July. And even in this emergency, it’s public money, not Big Pharma, that is funding the research.
The problem goes much wider than ebola and other tropical diseases. It extends, unfortunately, to the antibiot-ics that vanquished the bac-terial infections that were once responsible for about 25 percent of adult deaths. The last new class of antibiotics, carbapenems, was approved in 1980. Since then, nothing – even though the usefulness of existing antibiotics is rapidly eroding as resistant strains of bacteria emerge.
That’s a big threat, but anti-biotics are still not big money-makers, as they are used for relatively short periods of time to fight some specific infection. So no new type of antibiotic has been developed by Big Pharma for more than three decades. A minimum of 23,000 people in the United States died last year of infections that would once have been easily ended by anti-biotics; in the European Union the total was 25,000.
There are some measures
that would dramatically slow the spread of antibiotic-resist-ant bacteria. Far fewer pre-scriptions should be written for antibiotics, and doctors should be monitored to ensure that they are not over-prescribing. Patients must complete any course of antibiotics that they begin, and report that they have done so. Over-the-counter sales of antibiotics in countries like China and Russia must cease.
Above all, it should be a criminal offence to feed anti-biotics to animals just to make them grow faster and bigger. (That is where 80 percent of the antibiotics consumed in the United States go at the moment.) And even when all that has been done, the rise of antibiotic-resistant bac-teria will continue, though at a much slower pace. Bacterial resistance is an evolutionary process that can only be slowed, not stopped.
So we desperately need new antibiotics, and there are none forthcoming. Without them, warned Dame Sally Davies, chief medical officer for England, “Modern medicine would quickly go out of the window.”
Almost all surgery, includ-ing things as commonplace as caesarian sections and hip replacements, and most cancer treatments as well, involve a significant risk of infection that must be controlled by antibiot-ics. As Prime Minister Davd Cameron told “The Times”: “If we fail to act...we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine, where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again.”
Yet Big Pharma will not fill the gap, for those companies are answerable to their share-holders, not to the public. The case for direct state interven-tion to finance the development of the vaccines and antibiot-ics that the commercial sector neglects is overwhelming. And very urgent.

OBITUARIES
T H E A S S O C I A T E D P R E S SNEW YORK - Dorothy Salisbury Davis, a prize-
winning mystery writer whose books include the bestselling “A Gentle Murderer” and numerous other works praised for their psychological sus-pense, has died. She was 98.
Longtime friend Laurie Ferguson told The Associated Press that Davis died Sunday at the Esplanade at Palisades, a senior residence facility in Palisades, New York. Ferguson said Davis had been in failing health for months. Davis’ hus-band, the actor Harry Davis, died in 1993. They had no children.
A native of Chicago, Davis was nominated several times for the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Award, and was named an MWA “Grand Master” in 1985. Her other books included “The Little Brothers” and “Shock Waves.” Her stor-ies were often anthologized, most recently in the 2013 release “Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives.”
ROSEWOOD CELEBRATES 10 YEARS
SHERI REGNIER PHOTO
Residents, staff and volunteers at Rose Wood Village celebrated 10 years of serving the Greater Trail community Wednesday afternoon at the facility that was designed to support seniors’ lifestyle by providing independent and assisted living housing, hospitality and personal support services. Rose Wood Village employs 111 staff, and since 2004 has offered 14 independent suites, 26 living suites and 30 residential care suites. In 2008, the facility expanded to include 15 new residential care suites that operate under Golden Life Management and the slogan, “Real Living.” Miss Trail Ella Meyer and Miss Congeniality Vivian Huang delighted a crowd of about 100 people with a speech about the City of Trail.
THE CANADIAN PRESSTORONTO - “Land Ho!”
star Earl Lynn Nelson picks up the phone for a telephone interview and declares he’s just finished surgery - not undergoing it, but per-forming it.
An oculoplastic surgeon in Kentucky, he’s in the operating room three days a week and has only been in three films, including “Land Ho!”, which opens Friday in Toronto and Aug. 15 in Vancouver.
Acting is more of a fun thing he likes to do for film-maker Martha Stephens, whose mother is his first cousin.
“I’ve known Martha since she was born and I could hold her in one of my hands,” he says in his thick south-ern drawl from his office in Ashland, Ky.
“She thinks I’m a good character in movies.”
Indeed, the jocular doc is a natural onscreen.
In “Land Ho!” the 72-year-old steals the show as a
boisterous, bawdy southern American who goes on a soul-searching trip through Iceland with his reserved and sensitive ex-brother-in-law, played by veteran Australian actor Paul Eenhoorn.
“He’s a really big guy, in all ways,” Eenhoorn said of Nelson. “He’s a force of nature, I’ll put it that way.”
It’s Stephens’ third film with Nelson after 2010’s “Passenger Pigeons” and 2012’s “Pilgrim Song.”
“Martha wanted to shoot something with Earl Lynn in the lead and they thought that I would be perfect foil for his alter ego sort of thing, and it really worked. Martha was right,” said Eenhoorn.
The filmmakers shot the opening cottage scene at Nelson’s Seattle home. The rest of the story was filmed in Iceland.
The gregarious Nelson had no trouble breaking the ice with Eenhoorn during the initial shoot.
“We stood in front of my freezer and I popped open
a Mason jar and had some moonshine, and then I gave him a couple of shots of tequila,” he says.
“I really genuinely feel like Paul is a good friend of mine now.”
The story has a strong sense of realism as the film-makers allow full conversa-tions and scenarios to unfold between the characters in a way that makes it seem as if much of it is improvised.
Nelson’s character, Mitch, seems to mirror his own per-sonality. And he admits the filmmakers drew on his per-sona and consulted him as they wrote Mitch’s lines.
Still, he insists Mitch isn’t entirely him.
“There was a couple of people who didn’t like me in the movie, that I was boister-ous and I was loud-mouthed, I was a sexist,” he says, refer-ring to the film’s debut at the Sundance Film Festival.
“The thing is, that was my part in the movie. It wasn’t me.”
Nelson, who does plastic
and reconstructive surgery around the eyes and the eye-brows, says his patients are getting a kick out of his moonlighting gig.
“I had this one guy I oper-ated here on here about four or five weeks ago. He came to the office - he’s the prin-cipal of a high school here - and he said, ‘The people at the school didn’t believe that a movie star operated on me.”’
But he isn’t sure how far he wants to take this acting thing.
“People ask me if I would do other movies and I say ‘Yeah, I’d do other movies, but I’m not going to fly to California to audition for a movie, I’m not going to fly to New York to audition for a movie.’ If you want to do a video or something like that, if you want me to do a movie, I don’t mind that.
“But I’m not going to fly around the world audition-ing for parts, because I like my day job. I like to do sur-gery, it’s my passion.”

An Escalade worth the waitCadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious ho-tels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at To-ronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part. With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.
LooksGetting a full-size truck into a boutique hotel is like trying to park in one of those parking spots labelled “small car”. To get around this, the party part of the launch was held on a garage rooftop, transformed into a nightclub, complete with gourmet finger food, fancy
cocktails and live performers, including the requisite fire-twirling entertainers. There was even an Escalade-inspired golf cart to shuttle guests to the roof. The star of the show was the all-new 2015 Escalade, a vehicle Cadillac hopes will make up about 20 per cent of its overall sales. With a $6,000 price drop and very competitive packages, they hope even wealthy shoppers will stop to see the value in this SUV. It sure got attention, thanks to the fabulous LED projector headlamps and taillights. The angular shape is very contemporary and the sleeker sheet metal looks up to date.InsideThe Escalade has always made an impact when it arrives at any destination; the sheer size and attitude it projects says a lot about the person driving it. It is inside that needed to be refreshed the most, and the attention to detail Cadillac infused in its new truck should pay dividends. Any luxury buyer expects leather, wood, and smart infotainment and Cadillac delivers on all of these. The dash and doors are cov-ered with hand cut leather. The open-grain wood and contrasting interior materials like faux suede all make it look as rich as the buyer expects. Front and centre is Cadillac’s CUE entertainment system that I find easy to operate and interact with. The buttons below it are touch sensitive, there are no knobs or switches. The front passengers just swipe over the surface to change the volume and heat controls. DriveOne reason to buy a big truck-based SUV is to move people in numbers or tow a trailer to a cabin or cottage. That latter experience came with the drive portion of the Escalade launch, driving north of Toron-to to The Briars, a 100-hectare resort on the edge of Lake Simcoe. This family run complex includes a huge stretch of lake frontage, golf course, pools, tennis and activities for all ages and the Escalade fits right in. For moving a large family around in comfort, the
Escalade is wonderful as there is plenty of room to stretch out when the long wheelbase (ESV) model is chosen. Granted about 70 per cent of all buyers choose the shorter wheelbase as it looks less imposing and some might not need the interior vastness. Under the hood is GM’s premium 6.2L V8 with a whopping 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. This might seem like overkill but this larger engine can switch off to just four cylinders under light load, more often impacting fuel economy. The power goes to just the rear wheels, all four wheels or automatically controlled, all by a switch on the dash. My experi-ence driving for the day returned about
12L/100km in mostly highway driving. Not bad for a big truck.
VerdictThe new Escalade adds about $10,000 worth of new equipment like standard magnetic ride control for a more nimble ride. The cabin is much quieter, for doing big business deals on the phone, and the ride overall is much more refined than before. Starting at $79,900 the Escalade is for the well healed, but Cadillac representatives told me that most buyers shoot for the moon and buy the top Premium model for $90,500. The new Cadillac is fresh and much more refined, with features like never before. Do young wealthy buyers like the Cadillac brand and where it is going? The short answer is yes. GM claims this is the fastest growing luxury brand in Canada and B.C. is a hot spot for the Escalade. It has been seven years since we’ve had an all-new Escalade… the wait was worth it.

Original Mini Cooper makes a comebackBy Keith Morgan
Yet another version of the popu-lar Mini is out and selling for around $120.What? – Well, it is a LEGO brick replica of the original Cooper Mk VII, produced between August 1997 and July 1998. That was
the last generation of the original very mini-Mini, which was soon replaced by the Mini on steroids that BMW now produces very profitably.Interestingly, the price tag for the beautifully crafted “toy” is about the same as I paid for my
used 1966 Mini Countryman Mark II back in 1974.The LEGO version bears many authentic details, from the classic green and white color scheme with white wing mirrors and ra-cing stripes. When I got mine, it had authentic woodworm in the
bits that made it look like a mini Brit version of the Woodies that were so popular on this side of the Atlantic at the time. Dad suggested we strip out the wood but the garage guy thought the whole darn thing might fall apart if we did. Oh, brother! My
dad, as a model plane painter of some repute, bought a few cans of paint and carefully painted the wood black. Then he hand painted the rest of the body blue. Couldn’t see a brush stroke when he had finished. The model has doors, hood and trunk that open – more than you

could say for mine on many oc-casions. Sporty fog lights are fea-tured as well as a detailed four-cylinder engine – transversely mounted, of course. There’s also separate spare tire compartment. Had one of those to house a spare that was as bald as I am now.
You can even remove the roof to access a tan colored interior with patterned seats, veneer-style dashboard, turning steering wheel, and moving gearshift and handbrake. I had a hole in my roof at one point but the only thing that came through it was rain, by the bucketful.This Cooper model measures more
than 11cm in height, stretches 25cm in length and is about 14cm wide. Dimensionally it doesn’t sound much smaller that my real live, constantly stalling machine. Mind you that’s what happens when you aquaplane through gigantic duck pond-sized puddles on the narrow back lanes I trav-elled through the rural northwest
of Lancashire on my way to jour-nalism school.The set is part of the Creator Expert series and I must say the thought of putting together 1,077-parts is somewhat daunt-ing. Perhaps no more so than my old banger after a breakdown. A girlfriend at the time always wondered why it would quit in the
darkest back lanes. Which reminds me, the LEGO car accessories includes a picnic basket, bottle and blanket . . . I had a blanket in the back of mine but it wasn’t for picnic use. Ah, those fond memories will come flooding back if Santa does his job this [email protected]

B Y L I Z B E V A NTimes Staff
Running 120 miles in just a few days doesn't seem like a vacation to most, but Heather Johnson and her husband, Chris Kent, are hopping a plane to Colorado to do just that.
Starting on Tuesday, the couple will be embarking on a journey called the TransRockies Run, lasting six days and cover-ing 120 miles, and they will be running the whole way.
Johnson has done the race before, but it will be a first for her husband.
“I did it a few years ago with a friend of mine but now I am going back for more with my husband this time,” she said, add-ing that her first run came as a surprise. “I had done a marathon and a bunch of half marathons in the past, and my friend had a different partner (who backed out) so she called me up...and it sounded amazing.”
The race runs over different terrain from desert-like climates to a 20,000 feet elevation gain to the top of the Colorado Rockies and to train, Johnson and her husband run, run and run some more.
“Basically we run about six or seven days a week,” she said. “We do two really long runs on the weekend anywhere from two-to-five hours and climb as many hills as we can and just beat our-selves up.”
Part of their practice includes running at high altitudes to train their bodies.
“When you are running at high altitudes, there is less oxy-gen and your blood chemistry kind of compensates for it,” she said. “You make more red blood cells and your body gets better at removing lactic acid from your system.”
Lactic acid is the chemical that makes your muscles burn during and after a hard work out.
Johnson says the high altitude training helps when they comes back down the mountains.
“When you come back down to regular altitude, then all of a sudden, you feel more fit than you would be if you hadn't been up there,” she said adding they do most of their runs up on the Seven Summits Trail and the sur-
rounding pathways. Not only does the run require
physical endurance, Johnson says she’s learned a few other skills to help her through the 120-mile course.
“Patience is a big one, and dealing with obstacles,” she said. “When you are out there for that long, there are things that can go wrong, and obviously things that do go wrong. You just have to deal with it at the time when you
are out in the middle of nowhere, get through it and then just for-get about it and have the best race you can after that.”
While the run may seem daunting to runners and non-runners alike, Johnson says that anyone can do it, it's just a mat-ter of preparation.
“You don't have to be some crazy, hardcore elite runner to do it,” she said. “Anybody can go out and do it. You have lots of
time, you basically just have to put in the effort and get through the training and the race is the reward for doing that.”
Crossing the finish line is the reward for Johnson.
“It's unbelievable,” she said. “You're so happy to be done.”
C A N A D I A N P R E S STORONTO - Milos Raonic wasn’t at his
best but was relieved to stay alive at the Rogers Cup on Wednesday night while top seeded Novak Djokovic was eliminated Thursday.
Despite a serve that was intimidat-ing but not perfect and some erratic play, Raonic won two tiebreaks to beat American Jack Sock 4-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4) on centre court Wednesday night at Rexall Centre.
“All the difficulties getting through that match, facing break points two of
my service games consecutively, doing a poor job in converting the chances I had,” Raonic said. “All those things that maybe if it doesn’t go your way you would’ve said, ‘I wish I did this differently, and this and this in these situations,’ all that, let’s say weight that might be on your shoulders, it’s the relief of that just sort of getting off.”
Amid chants of “Let’s Go Milos,” Raonic kept Canadian hope alive in the tournament. On Tuesday, all four men who played singles were eliminated, and Eugenie Bouchard bowed out in Montreal.
Raonic cranked his serve up past 200 kilometres per hour, finishing with 15 aces that helped offset some struggles against Sock, who played some of his best tennis even in defeat. Raonic won 79 per cent of his first-serve points, below his stellar average, and failing to be perfect cost him the first set.
The 23-year-old held serve in the second set before blowing Sock out in the tiebreak. Raonic needed another tiebreak - this one tenser - to finish off the match.
“When you play him, usually when you get down a break, it usually means the
set’s over,” Sock said. “That’s why he kind of is where he is though, he kind of comes up big in those moments.”
Meanwhile, top seed Djokovic was eliminated after a 6-2, 6-2 loss to No. 13 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France.
Serving on match point, Tsonga clinched the win when a Djokovic return went wide.
Tsonga’s serve on the Toronto hard-court gave Djokovic plenty of trouble. The Frenchman had only had eight aces, but Djokovic continually struggled to keep his returns in bounds.

Another epic, fabulously-staged-by-local-volunteers event transpired at Butler Park last weekend.
The organizers did us proud.As for the play - it provided
everything those who ponied up the minimal ticket prices could have wished.
No doubt Kamloops, whose 32-man roster (which included four former Trail Orioles) was by far the largest in the field, deserved the title, if only just. The Sun Devils defeated the Langley Blaze in two out of three games.
It was by the slimmest of margins, however. In total, over 29 innings, Kamloops outscored the Blaze by one run (8-7), and the three games between the two were all ultimate nail biters.
It is a tribute to the quality and tenacity of the two top teams involved. Imagine, after 21 innings of play on a hot Trail holiday Monday (weekend on-field temperatures reached 40-plus degrees), the duo was tied in every relevant statistic.
Langley was playing in its fourth game, Kamloops its third, in less than 24 hours when the Sun Devils, pulling off the only comeback in the three-game set between the two, finally prevailed. Thrilling, intense, and for the organizers, pretty well supported - particularly for an event during, “Laking,” season.
I am thankful this area can still come up with the energy to host such events, and hopeful a little money was raised for the organ-ization. Well done to everyone,
including especially the also-ran, out of town, teams that put in a lot of effort, money and time to attend.
Everything matters for tournaments like this, and barring the admittedly unlikely possibility of a local win, everything worked out extremely well.
Very, very good effort by all concerned and one more credit to the spirit and quality of the Home of Champions.
• Now on to hockey season. The ice is in, skat-ers are here or heading towards here, and fans are hopeful.
There is a time for every season. I am happy the ball season got extended into August here for a change and am now, as we all should be, look-ing forward.

Lawrie off Jays’ roster with strained obliqueT h E C A n A D i A n p r E s s
Brett Lawrie could be out almost a month with a strained left oblique, Toronto Blue Jays general manager
Alex Anthopoulos said.Lawrie, who felt pain
during batting practice before his return to the lineup Tuesday and left the game after three
innings, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday.
Before Thursday night’s game, Anthopoulos said the
team wasn’t expecting Lawrie to be back until September.
Lawrie suffered an oblique strain in the 2013 World Baseball Classic, and though Anthopoulos said it’s on the same side, it’s not the same injury.
The third baseman had just missed six
weeks with a broken right index finger. The oblique strain is at least the ninth injury he has had during three-plus seasons in the major leagues.
With Lawrie out, Danny Valencia was penciled in to start at third base in the ser-ies finale against the
Baltimore Orioles. Manager John Gibbons said his plan was to split time between Valencia and Juan Francisco once Adam Lind and Edwin Encarnacion return.
Lind, who has been out with a frac-tured right foot, could be back as soon
as Monday, accord-ing to Anthopoulos. Encarnacion could also return next week, Anthopoulos said.
For Thursday night’s game, the Blue Jays filled Lawrie’s spot on the roster by recalling left-handed reliever Rob Rasmussen from Triple-A Buffalo.

Scripture quotations are from the RSV unless otherwise noted.
“Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘O man of little faith, why did you doubt?’ And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased” (Matt. 14:31-32).
This is the episode of Jesus and Peter walking on the sea. Jesus � rst came to his disciples, who were in a boat, by himself walking over the water toward them, when there was a strong wind in the middle of the night. Seeing him, St. Peter also wanted to walk on the water toward Jesus. When Jesus invited him, he set out. “But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, ‘Lord, save me.’ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘O man of little faith, why did you doubt?’” (Matt. 14:30-31). Thus he was saved from the wind and the waves and did not sink and drown in the sea.
Such is the Christian life. There are storms caused by our sins and in� delity to our vocation and way of life. When we do not obey God, he punishes us, and we begin to sink in the water, as did Peter when he doubted. But when he cried out, “Lord, save me,” “Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘O man of little faith, why did you doubt?’” (Matt. 14:30-31). Thus he saved him from the sea and the wind. He did not sink and drown in the sea.
When we begin to doubt and falter in our following of Jesus, we begin to sink. Then it is like in the � rst reading, where the false prophet Hananiah failed to understand the
situation that Judah was in. He did not understand the seriousness of their sins and in� delity in going after the forbidden fruit of false gods, and he did not understand that submission to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon was God’s punishment for their in� delity. So instead of preaching repentance so that the city would not be destroyed and the temple burnt, he preached good times for Judah.
Jeremiah, however, preached the truth, that Judah would be destroyed together with the temple and the city if the nation did not repent of their idolatry and in� delity as the chosen people of God and change their ways. Jeremiah warned the people to repent or else ..., while the false prophet said nothing about any need to repent, and only promised them that in two years time all their problems would be over. But it did not turn out as he prophesied. The nation did not repent or change its ways, and it was destroyed by the king of Babylon.
And whom are we going to follow, the false prophet, or Jeremiah? Are we going to continue ahead as we are now doing, and be destroyed by our vocations crisis, believing that things will soon get better; or are we going to repent, change our ways, correct our errors and abuses, and be saved? Are we going to continue imitating the lifestyle of the world around us, and be destroyed; or are we going to repent and correct our errors, and live? Are we going to lose our faith, falter, and sink in the sea; or are we going to be faithful, and survive? The choice is ours.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSNASHVILLE - It’s the Hollywood ending every
studio wants: Low-cost production and high returns at the box office.
Filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick seem to have the formula down - grossing nearly $80 million on four films made for less than $4 million combined. Only thing is the Kendrick brothers work far from Hollywood and, outside the world of Christian-themed cinema, many have never heard of their films.
That could change.Increasingly, major studios appear to be tak-
ing a leap for faith-based audiences with biblical epics such as “Noah” starring Russell Crowe, the planned December release of “Exodus” and a remake of “Ben-Hur” for early 2016.
At one point in April, there were four faith-based movies in the Top 20 at the box office, including “Heaven Is for Real,” about a 4-year-old boy’s account of his trip to heaven. It has grossed more than $99 million on a production budget of $12 million by Sony Pictures.
“Hollywood has taken note,” said DeVon Franklin, former Sony senior vice-president of production, who oversaw “Heaven Is for Real.”
The Kendrick brothers - who just wrapped up filming their fifth project - are making movies that could see wider release as distributors pay atten-tion to the box office trends in the traditional Bible Belt and beyond.
Their latest film, which has yet to have a title, centres on a family realizing the power of prayer.
“The point is not racing to see how many movies we can produce,” said Alex Kendrick, in a telephone interview from Charlotte, North Carolina. “The point is to take the time, in prayer and research, to make a solid film and get the most ministry out of it before moving to the next one.”
The Kendricks began with a tiny production company with their pastor at Sherwood Baptist, but decided to strike out on their own with their fifth film. The brothers say the separation was amicable and necessary for them to grow as film-makers and recruit actors and crew nationwide.
In previous movies, the brothers mostly used volunteers from their church though one of their more popular movies, “Fireproof,” did include Kirk Cameron, a veteran actor memorably known starting in the 80s for his youthful role in a popu-lar TV sitcom, Growing Pains.
“The people we’ve gotten to meet who have expertise in areas that we have needed help have come to the table,” said Stephen Kendrick. “And we’re growing as filmmakers.”
They’re also giving back. The brothers are using the fruits of their success to help up-and-coming filmmakers with projects, as well as men-tor a younger generation of hopefuls. During their recent filming, they brought in about 20 interns from different universities who worked under pro-fessionals involved in the making of the film.
“We believe every generation needs to be pour-ing into and investing in the next generation,” Stephen Kendrick said. “Hopefully, they’ll be able to stand on our shoulders one day and make even better movies.”
The Kendricks - both ministers who sport salt-and-pepper beards - grew up in suburban Atlanta and now live in Albany in southwestern Georgia. They are still part of the ministry team at the Sherwood megachurch. Along with the church’s senior pastor, Michael Catt, they created Sherwood Pictures in 2002 and scraped together $20,000 to put out their first film, “Flywheel,” in 2003 about a dishonest used car salesman who learns integrity.
With a budget of $100,000, the company released “Facing the Giants” in 2006. That film - about having courage amid adversity - ended up grossing more than $10 million, appearing in a little over 400 theatres primarily in the South.
Then came “Fireproof,” a story about a couple struggling to make their marriage work. That movie was made with a budget of just $500,000 and grossed over $33 million.
Hollywood cashes in on faith-based movies

Dear Annie: My daughter was recently ordered by the court to have her 5-year-old son visit his biological father and grandparents every other weekend. They live 200 miles away.
The boy has always lived with his mother, because the biological father felt he was not ready to be a dad and deserted them. He and his parents cut off con-tact for five years, and now they have decided they want to spend time with the boy.
Here’s the disturb-ing part. When at their house, my grandson is not permitted to eat at the family table. He eats at a small table in the corner. He’s only permit-ted to eat or drink at certain times, he cannot phone his mother when he wants, he sleeps in a room in the basement, he must call the grand-parents by specific names or they won’t speak to him, and most recently, he came home with so many mosquito bites that he required med-
ical attention. Once, the biological father brought him home so sick that he missed a week of school.
Over the summer, his biological father tried to teach him to use the lawn mower, but the child refused because his mother told him (rightfully) that it is too dangerous and he is too little. As a result, he was sent to his room in the basement.
My gut tells me they are trying to injure the child, and I have ser-ious doubts about their sincerity in wanting a relationship. My daugh-ter’s lawyer has been contacted, but is there anything we can do in the interim to protect the boy from such hor-
rible abuse? -- Worried Grandma
Dear Worried: Based on your information, we’re not certain this qualifies as “horrible abuse.” It seems more like neglect combined with incompetent par-enting skills. The bio-logical father and his parents have no clue how to properly treat or raise a 5-year-old boy. The lawyer should go to the judge immediately with whatever documenta-tion he has and ask for supervised visitation, and possibly mandate that the biological father take parenting classes. If you believe the boy is truly being abused, contact the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453.
Dear Annie: Thank you for printing the let-ter about celiac disease. I hope you have space for a letter about children who are severely food allergic.
Food allergies were not part of our world in 1999. That is when our baby developed hives after eating mixed cer-
eal. The pediatrician said, “Maybe he’s allergic to the wheat in the cereal. Give him Benadryl.” We didn’t know that “aller-gic to wheat” was ser-ious or that wheat was in almost everything in our pantry, from BBQ sauce to root beer, cer-eals, potato chips, candy, hand cream, shampoo and sunblock. The early reactions were just hives. There was no thought of converting our kitchen or segregating him at school.
The first anaphylactic reaction came at age 4. The ER doctors explained cross-contamination. We were told to read all food labels and always carry EpiPens. At age 13, our son now cautiously sits at the school lunch table with his friends and goes to ballgames, overnight camp and select restau-rants. We continue to be vigilant. One crumb of wheat in his mouth would lead us to the ER. We are hopeful that somewhere in the uni-verse someone will find a cure for this life-threat-
ening and life-altering allergy.
We would like to share some resources about food allergies with your readers. Please sug-gest they contact:
Mothers of Children Having Allergies (moch-allergies.org); Food Allergy Research and
Education (foodallergy.org) (this is a mer-ger of the Food Allergy Initiative and Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network); the Stanford Alliance for Food Allergy Research (foodaller-gies.stanford.edu); the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and
Immunology (aaaai.org/conditions-and-treat-ments/allergies/food-allergies.aspx). -- B. in Chicago
Dear B.: Thank you so much for this excel-lent information on food allergies. We hope our readers will take advan-tage of these resources.

For Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) For some reason, children are an increased responsi-bility for you today. Or you might feel overwhelmed with social obligations or something to do with the arts or the entertainment world. Courage! TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Relations with partners and family members are not easy today. Someone older or more experienced will block your wishes. You can’t do anything about this today. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be worried about something today, because you sense that something will be difficult. Obstacles block your path. Just wait a few days, and try again. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Financial matters look bleak today. (Why is there
always so much month left at the end of the money?) You cannot push things through. Just wait. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Duties and responsibilities loom large today. In fact, life might seem depressing and restrictive. Just cope until things lighten up. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Physically and psycholog-ically, your energies are at a low ebb right now. If you are aware of this, don’t push the river. Just wait until things change before you move. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Someone older or in a position of authority might restrict you now or block your efforts. Naturally, this is discouraging. But things look worse than they really are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a poor day to chal-lenge authority figures -- bosses, parents, teachers or
the police. Today they hold the upper hand. (But this will not always be the case.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Travel plans look difficult today. If you can avoid trav-el, this would be best. Don’t push to get your way in matters regarding publish-ing, media, medicine and the law. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) This is not a good day to
make decisions about inher-itances, shared property, taxes and debt. Things will flow against you. Postpone these discussions for at least a week, or longer. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Tread softly in discus-sions with bosses, partners and good friends, because things will not flow smooth-ly. Others will block your plans and wishes. Knowing this ahead of time, why even
begin? PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to get your way at work. Someone will tell you why you cannot do something. It’s discour-aging, but it’s a temporary reality. YOU BORN TODAY You can be a tower of strength for others. Although a natu-ral leader, you’re an excel-lent team player as well. You are skilled at debate and can
persuade others to do your bidding. Altruistic values are important to you. This year will be a fun-loving, social time for you, during which all your relationships will improve. Try to clear out debt as well. Birthdate of: Sam Elliott, actor; Melanie Griffith, actress; Juanes, singer/humanitarian. (c) 2014 King Features Syndicate, Inc.
