Conspiracy trial to be heard in Kamloops
M I K E YO U D S Kamloops Daily News
The trial of three Cranbrook men on charges of conspiracy to commit murder will be heard in Kamloops, Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley decided Monday. Dley rejected a defense counsel application for a change of venue to Cranbrook or the Lower Mainland for a variety of reasons. The trial is tentatively scheduled to begin Feb. 4. There is a publication
ban on other details of the voir dire stage of the preliminary inquiry since the case will be decided by jury. Dley was appointed case management judge in December for the trial of Lonnie Adams, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia. All three are charged with conspiracy to commit murder and counseling an indictable offence. As well, Carry and Correia are charged with firearms offences. Adams and Correia remain in custody.
RCMP have said the charges are related to rival gangs seeking to control the drug trade in Cranbrook. Dley was appointed in order to deal with a large quantity of evidence in the trial, which is expected to take 10 weeks or more. Cranbrook — where the alleged offence occurred and initial stages of a preliminary inquiry were held before it was relocated to Kamloops earlier this year — lacks adequate holding facilities for the accused,
Dley said. The case, which developed in the aftermath of a double homicide, has received a great deal of publicity in Cranbook, another reason why it should not be held there due to the difficulty that might present for jury selection, Dley ruled. Holding the trial in Vancouver would make it more difficult for as many as 20 investigating police officers, based in Kelowna, to testify, he noted. In May 2010, a suspect
dressed in camouflage broke into a home just east of Cranbrook and shot and killed Leanne MacFarlane and Jeff Taylor. Police confirmed that the couple had just moved into a home formerly rented by Doug Mahon. They believed MacFarlane and Taylor were innocent and that the slayings were related to a 2009 shooting outside of the Sam Steele Hotel. Mahon was charged in that shooting. The victim was Chad Munroe, who was initially charged

Court hears evidence in Bouvette case AN N AL EE GR AN T Townsman Staff
Day one of a three-day preliminary hearing started Tuesday in the case of Tammy Bouvette, who is charged with second degree murder in the death of 18-month-old Iyanna Teeple. Court was shown a video interview in which Bouvette finally admitted after an hour of talks with RCMP Const. Felicity Parker and Cpl. Chris Faulkner, that she left the child unattended in the bathroom. In the video, Bouvette insists to Parker that she never left the bathroom, but rather turned to reach a bottle of shampoo only to find the young girl face down in the tub on her belly. She told police that Iyana must have turned on to her belly while she was looking away for just seconds and drowned. Parker continually asks Bouvette how a wet spot had appeared in her bedroom, and why there was a wet Spiderman mask next to the stain. Bouvette said her older daughter who was in the home at the time must have spilled a glass of water.

An 11-year-old boy was pronounced dead on the scene Monday evening after he fell while playing on trusses that support Canyon Bridge, west of Creston just off Highway 3. RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said police, ambulance and fire department personnel were called to the scene after 5 p.m. “Three young brothers were climbing around the trusses,” he said. “One slipped off and fell to the ground below. It was a drop of 40 to 60 feet.” Gollan said that investigation of the death is in the hands of the BC Coroners Service and that there is no suspicion of foul play. “This is a very dangerous practice, playing under a bridge of that height,” he said. Emergency personnel were able to reach the accident scene by way of a trail that winds down the steep incline from Canyon-Lister Road to the Goat River below. The area contains a popular swimming Creston Valley Advance hole.

VICTORIA — NDP MLAs used the first public meeting of the legislative management committee to call for former clerk of the house George MacMinn to be removed from his $240,000-a-year consulting job. NDP house leader John Horgan called for the second year of MacMinn’s consulting contract to be terminated, and asked if taxpayers are paying him for his car, club memberships or pension in addition to extending his salary. MacMinn stepped down last year after 54 years as a legislative clerk, the longest term in Commonwealth history. He served as chief clerk from 1993 until last year, when he agreed to make way for his long-time assistant Craig James. Horgan said the succession took place without consulting the official opposition, and was “orchestrated” by MacMinn to include the consulting arrangement that extended his salary and benefits for two years. He said committee members don’t know what MacMinn is supposed to do as a consultant, but public ac-
Cougar killed after attack on Trail woman in her home C anadian Press
TRAIL, B.C. — Conservation officers have tracked down and killed an old, emaciated cougar after the animal attacked a woman in her home in British Columbia’s West Kootenay region. Sgt. Rob Hawton of the Trail RCMP says the attack, which took place Saturday, night was extremely rare and was driven by the animal’s desperation for food. Hawton says the woman was sitting on her sofa and had some puppies in the house with her when the cougar walked through an open door and attacked. He says the woman and her dog fought the animal off, chasing it out of her house. The animal was gone by the time police arrived, but Hawton says the woman suffered some minor injuries to her upper leg from the cougar’s claws. Hawton says conservation officers tracked down and killed the cougar Monday morning.

Former clerk George MacMinn walks to the B.C. legislature chamber, where he served for 54 years. counts show he was paid $250,000 plus $22,000 in travel expenses last year. B.C. Liberal members of the committee agreed Tuesday to review MacMinn’s position, once a report is prepared on his duties. James warned that the two-year term is legally binding, and if it was terminated it could increase the cost to taxpayers. The B.C. Liberal majority voted to approve the appointment of James and the consulting role for MacMinn last year, with NDP MLAs opposed. Historically a secretive
group overseeing the $70 million legislature budget, the Legislative Assembly Management Committee was pushed into the open by a critical report issued in July by Auditor General John Doyle. The audit found that MLA credit card bills are being paid without receipts, and the legislative assembly hasn’t produced financial statements despite a 2007 recommendation from the previous auditor general. Speaker Bill Barisoff, chair of the committee, said work is well along to implement the auditor’s recommendations.
An Alberta man was killed in a highway accident east of Sparwood on Monday. On August 27 at 12:45 p.m., Elk Valley RCMP and East Kootenay Traffic Services responded to the report of a single vehicle accident approximately 14 kilometres east of Sparwood on Highway 3. The investigation has revealed that a vehicle hauling a fifth wheel trailer left the roadway, travelled approximately 150 metres in the ditch before coming to rest on its side in Alexander Creek. The driver and lone occupant of the vehicle was found to be deceased at the scene of the accident. Sparwood Fire Rescue and the Elk Valley Search and Rescue Swift Water Recovery Team assisted at the scene. The cause of the accident is unknown at this time, but the accident is being investigated by East Kootenay Traffic Services. The driver, in his 30s, is from Alberta. His name is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Organizers call it quits on Sled Dog races C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin
The Bootleg Sled Dog Races were an instant hit, drawing thousands of spectators for the first rendition in 2009, and they just kept getting better. But there were also difficulties pulling off the huge event each year, the major one being very uncertain weather. In fact the 2012 races had to be called off due to lack of snow. Now the Bootleg Sled Dog Race Society, in conjunction with Bootleg Gap Golf Course which hosted the races, have made the difficult decision to call them off permanently. Organizer Brenda Birrell says it’s a combination of the current economic situation and the unpredictable weather patterns. “With unpredictable weather each year, it has been hard to ensure enough snow to allow safe conditions for the dogs and competitors,” Birrell said. “A huge amount of work and expense is required to put
on the race each year by both the Sled Dog Race Society and Bootleg Gap Golf Course. Having unpredictable conditions puts all that work and expense at risk each year until the last minute, also making it hard for the competitors to plan to attend as many travel a great distance to get here.” The races began in 2009 and blue skies, weather just a little warmer than mushers may have liked, led to huge crowds and instant success. One of the contributing factors to the success was the location at Bootleg Gap, where spectators could go inside the clubhouse building for refreshments and mushers could warm up as well. It was quite different from other races where the track was way out in the bush. In 2010, there were more big crowds, and though organizers were nervous about warm weather and lack of snow leading to poor track conditions, the
races went ahead. The track barely held and conditions were tough, leading to several crashes. The decision was made to move the race ahead two weeks to the beginning of February. In 2011, things were looking very good a few weeks out then the Pineapple Express rolled in and it rained. Organizers were worried but in the end just enough snow fell to go ahead. The third rendition of the Bootleg Races actually saw the best track conditions in the history of the race as mushers could let their teams run. But in 2012, snow came too late and the race was called off for the first time. “We would like to thank the many sponsors, volunteers and competitors who made it such a great success the three years it did run. With the tremendous support it received, this event raised over $50,000 for the East Kootenay Friends of Children charity,” Birrell said.

Bouvette admits to Liberals accuse B.C. New Democrat leaving child unattended of infatuation with communist Cuba Continued from page 1
Faulkner questioned the time it took to grab the bottle of shampoo off the counter behind the tub, and said it was not enough time for a toddler to go from healthy to an emergency situation. “A lot has happened in that period of time,” Faulkner said, wondering why Bouvette didn’t react to the noise of the girl moving in the tub. “It seems to me that the child would have had to make a couple of movements to end up in that position.” Bouvette said she did hear splashing in the tub, but thought the girl was just playing. “She’s quick,” she said, in response to Faulkner. Faulkner also wondered why Bouvette knew that her daughter had spilled a glass of water in the bedroom if she was focusing on Iyanna in the tub. Parker said she did not locate a glass in the
room. “It just seems to me, odd that a person would know what went on in there,” he said. “The time frame to me just doesn’t make sense.” Bouvette at this point in the interview dropped her face in her hands. “I’m really responsible,” she said. “I’m not Superwoman.” She then goes on to admit she did leave the room with Iyanna in the tub – but only for a few seconds – to clean up the water with a Spiderman mask she found on the floor. “I shouldn’t have even left the bathroom,” she said. “Not even that short little distance.” Bouvette said after finding the girl face down in the tub, she scooped her up in a towel and brought her into the hallway, where Parker noted in her investigation two wet spots had been located. She then began administering CPR, although
Bouvette admitted in the video that her skills were out of date. She eventually called 911 after failing to resuscitate the girl. Court also heard from pediatric forensic pathologist Dr. Evan Matshes, who performed the autopsy on Iyanna. He testified that bruising was found on the top and back of her head and on her forehead and cheek. He also found an injury to her frenulum, the tiny flap of skin that attaches the lip to the upper jaw. “That constellation of injuries to a pathologist is highly concerning,” he said. Matshes said both injuries were consistent with blunt force trauma but did not cause her death. Drowning was determined to be the cause of death. The preliminary hearing is expected to last three days and will continue Wednesday morning.

VICTORIA — A Cuban vacation for an Opposition British Columbia New Democrat has drummed up oldschool, red-scare communist rhetoric from the Liberal government. Liberal Bill Bennett, a top lieutenant in Premier Christy Clark’s election readiness team, took aim Monday at what he called the blatant infatuation with communism expressed by Surrey New Democrat Jagrup Brar following his week-long stay at a Cuban resort. Bennett further suggested Brar’s pro-Cuba comments peel back the underlying fondness within the B.C. New Democrat caucus for state-run, clampdown-style governments — something that should worry freedom-loving British Columbians. Brar told a Radio
India audience in Metro Vancouver last week that the gap between rich and poor is virtually non-existent in Cuba, education is free and no child goes to bed hungry. “Jagrup’s interview should be a wake-up call for any British Columbian who values individual enterprise and individual freedom,’’ Bennett said in a statement. “While Cubans risk their lives in tiny fishing boats across shark-infested waters to escape one of the world’s last communist regimes, the B.C. NDP seems to suggest British Columbia ought to copy Cuba’s approach.’’ Bennett said Brar’s comments indicate an NDP taste for statecontrol government. “Sometimes when people are most relaxed, such as after a refreshing holiday in the Caribbean, they are most likely to express
MLA Bill Bennett their innermost thoughts,’’ said Bennett. “In this case, Jagrup may well have given us a glimpse into the secret desires of the B.C. NDP caucus.’’ Bennett called on NDP Leader Adrian Dix to distance himself from his clearly communist-infatuated MLA, and he called on Brar to retract his comments and apologize to Cuban Canadians. NDP caucus chairman Shane Simpson scoffed at Bennett’s comments, saying the Liberals should concentrate on B.C. issues rather than attack an Opposition member’s
holiday reports. “I would think that Bill Bennett and Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals would be much better served if they paid a little more attention to what’s going on in B.C., (rather) than Cuba,’’ he said. But Simpson did wade into international politics, saying there are vast political, social and economic differences between Cuba and British Columbia, but visitors to the Caribbean country can’t deny the country’s health and education achievements. “Most people would acknowledge that the Cuban society has done a pretty good job in terms of their taking and making education accessible and making health care accessible in pretty broad terms,’’ he said. “They’ve succeeded in doing that in an economy that is very modest and struggling.’’

Youth struggle to access programs Workshop finds disconnect between young people and community services Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
A youth strategy workshop held in Cranbrook earlier this month has found that young people have trouble accessing programs tailored to them. The Cranbrook Social Planning Council held a workshop on Tuesday, August 14, attended by 29 members of the community. A report released by the council this week says the workshop revealed a disconnect between youth and the community services available for them. “There are opportunities for young people; it is simply lack of access that creates the gap between the lived reality of young people and the number of opportunities available in the community,” wrote Dana Osiowy, chair of the Social Planning Council. At the three-hour workshop, community

Participants in a youth strategy workshop held in Cranbrook earlier this month have found a disconnect between young people and the local programming tailored to them.

members, including youth between the ages of 12 and 19, used maps of Cranbrook to identify community assets like resources and opportunities, entertainment and recreation, places to shop, and “no go” zones. “We were able to see a connection between ‘no go’ zones and the lack of programming and services for young people in the community,” said Osiowy. “There was also a high coorelation achieved between lack of access to programming we do have, and no coordinated youth organization that worked to increase opportunities.” Working in four groups, the workshop participants also created “vision trees” of Cranbrook’s ideal future, where the roots are community values, the trunk is people and spaces, and the leaves are specific activities
and initiatives. It was the first of two sessions in the Cranbrook Project, an initiative prompted by a Columbia Basin Trust pledge of $100,000 over four years to help communities set priorities for youth aged between 12 and 19. The next meeting will be facilitated by Columbia Basin Trust and will be held on September 17 at the Heritage Inn from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Already, the goals of the Cranbrook Project are becoming clear, according to the report. “The overarching goal of this initiative is substantive policy change at the programming and municipal level so that the youth community is more engaged, empowered and has meaningful input on decisions that impact them and their lives,” wrote Osiowy. “The focus will be on
where we can add to what is already happening and leverage what resources we do have and will have with this grant. “One of the most important outcomes for this project is to have a more inclusive community for youth so that they can have a feeling of belonging to our community and they will have more assets and more chances to be successful. “Another critical outcome for this project is that current and future youth programming work together rather than in silos. This will increase access to all of the opportunities available.” To register for the next planning session, contact Dana Osiowy at 250-489-3111, bigscran@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca or the Cranbrook Social Planning Council’s Facebook page.

Poisonous, invasive Flat Peavine emerging in East Kootenay Peavine as a forage became unlikely when it was discovered to contain high concentrations of diaminobutyric acid (DABA). DABA is poisonous to humans and non-ruminate animals. Flat Peavine is poisonous to ruminate animals in amounts greater than approximately a third of their diet and, over the long term, may have poisonous effects in lesser amounts. While rarely seen in humans, except during times of famine, the symptoms of DABA poisoning in humans, livestock and wildlife can include permanent paralysis, bone deformities, cardiovascular collapse, pain, lameness, convulsions, and death. Forage shortage that results in increased consumption of Flat Peavine, greater than 35 per cent of diet, has been implicated in lower birth rates and a greater number of still births,
however further research is required. Flat Peavineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invasiveness results from multiple methods of reproduction including seeds, rhizomes and ramets (self-clones), that allow it to quickly take over a surrounding area. Compounding the problem is Flat Peavineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to climb (46 to 76 cm without support and up to two metres with support), as well as its tendency to form a dense tendril-entangled blanket that chokes out native vegetation. Flat Peavine lowers plant biodiversity and forms dense impassable thickets that block hiking trails and wildlife pathways while increasing fire risks. Most importantly, however, Flat Peavine lessens native food sources for wildlife and livestock, leaving in its place a poisonous alternative. The negative economic impact affects the raising of livestock,

Flat Peavine has been found in the following areas of the East Kootenay: road shoulders predominately on Dicken Road in Fernie and near
the Fernie Chamber of Commerce, and a couple of sites along Highway #3 between Elko and Fernie. In Cranbrook, a few infestations have been sighted along Jimsmith Road and around the Cranbrook
Chamber of Commerce. Finally, a couple of isolated infestations have been found along St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake Road, and near Overwaitea in Kimberley. Many of the known sites have been success-
fully treated, however new ones continue to emerge. It can be differentiated from other members of the pea family by a single pair of grass-like leaves attached to branches that extend from the main stem. A tendril used for climbing extends out from the centre of the leaf pairing.

How exactly Flat Peavine (Lathyrus sylvestris) arrived in the East Kootenay, no one is certain, but it has arrived with invading vengeance. As is the case with many invasive plants, Flat Peavine may have hitchhiked into the East Kootenay area on a vehicle. Or, due to its fragrant pink flowers and climbing nature, it may have arrived as an addition to someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flower garden. Perhaps it arrived as a landscape stabilizer for housing developments or as part of a land reclamation project since it was once touted as a long-lived erosion control plant that thrives in disturbed and acidic soils.

Well, there was one reference to Romney that was guaranteed to elicit whoops at both rallies: his choice of Ryan as his running mate. Socially conservative enough to reassure the Christian right, fiscally conservative enough to excite the most ardent Tea Partier, Ryan has given Republicans a positive reason to show up at the polls, beyond dishing Obama. At the expense of frightening off centrists and independents? At other times, his radical plans to reshape the U.S. welfare state might well have. But a good many Americans, not all of them Republican activists, are badly frightened at the direction their government has taken. Obama may have extended health insurance to the (sizeable) minority without it, but the already insured majority are concerned what it will mean for them. On the economy, likewise, it is not the 8 per cent who do not have a job who will decide this, but the much larger number who worry they will be out of a job before long, if things carry on as they have. Is Obama responsible for the state of the economy - for good or ill? Probably not, even if neither side wants to admit it. What can be fairly argued is that Obama’s stimulus efforts have plunged the U.S. government much further into debt, to little noticeable benefit. That is the case Romney needs to make: if not that he can restore the economy to full health, at least that he can stop the government from dragging it down. The convention is as good a place as any to start. Andrew Coyne is a columnist with Postmedia News

Howard Hollands
It was so great to see the picture and write-up about Howard Hollands and the B17 Flying Fortress. One of my first jobs was babysitting and ironing for the Hollands when they owned the Wycliffe Store. He showed me how he wanted his shirts ironed & folded. VERY precisely! I knew heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been in the Air Force but not what he did there. Ever since whenever I ironed shirts I always thought of his high standards and did my best to maintain them. Big thank you to whoever took the time & effort to take Mr. Hollands out to visit the old airplane. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure he appreciated it very much. Esther Monson (nee Redmond)

Shining beacon M.A. Mellorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter in your August 23rd Townsman would be funny if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t such a sad, obvious attempt to distort the truth. On liquor distribution, government wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be getting rid of it unless it was going to save taxpayers money in the long run. On the economy and fiscal management, B.C. has become a shining beacon in a world of over-spending, debt and deficits. There is a reason the most prestigious international financial rating agencies give B.C. one of only two AAA credit rating in the country. The B.C. Liberal government has met 9 of 10 budget targets,
missing only 2008-09, the year of the global economic collapse. In every other year, the government has exceeded its budget target (you can look it up in the audited financial statements). Recently, an accountant in Cranbrook told the story of a couple from the Maritimes filing their first tax return in B.C. Their taxes were almost $5,000 less here in B.C. with the same income. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always realize just how well B.C. is doing compared to provinces like Ontario, nations like the U.S. and continents like Europe. We have the lowest personal income taxes in Canada, jobs are being created and investment is flowing into B.C. at the fastest rate in Canada. Our government is holding public spending to 2.6 per cent a year, the best in Canada. If the NDP is elected next spring, we can kiss all of that good bye. They tax and they spend and it will be your money they are collecting and spending and your kids leaving the province to find work. Bill Bennett MLA Kootenay East

Georges St-Pierre medically cleared to make a return to MMA events Georges St-Pierre says he has been medically cleared to return to the Octagon. The mixed martial arts star from Montreal had reconstructive knee surgery in January after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament and his internal meniscus during a wrestling training session last fall. He says via Twitter that he’s been given the all clear to resume competitive fighting. There has been speculation he will make his comeback at UFC 154 on Nov. 17 in Montreal against interim champion Carlos Condit. “I’m now medically cleared to compete in professional mixed martial arts events,” tweeted StPierre. “Rendez-vous le 17 novembre, @UFC 154, Montreal!!!” As of Tuesday afternoon, the St-Pierre-Condit bout was not one of the confirmed fights for the Montreal card. Condit defeated Nick Diaz on Feb. 4 to become interim champion during St-Pierre’s medical absence. Canadian Press
PSU faculty group disputes NCAA sanctions in Sandusky sex-abuse case STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - A group of past faculty leaders at Penn State is blasting the NCAA and former FBI director Louis Freeh over their handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal. They say Freeh’s report, which was prepared for the university, and the NCAA’s ensuing $60 million in fines unfairly punish the entire university community. Twenty-nine past chairs of the faculty senate signed a statement posted online Tuesday that condemned the report and sanctions. Freeh’s report concluded that top university officials concealed information about sexual abuse allegations against Sandusky to avoid bad publicity. It has come under fire from ousted school president Graham Spanier, the family of late football coach Joe Paterno and others. Freeh defended his work Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. He insisted his report wasn’t compromised by his inability to interview key witnesses. Sandusky was convicted in June of abusing 10 boys. Associated Press
2002 Wimbledon runner-up Nalbandian out of US Open NEW YORK - David Nalbandian pulled out of the U.S. Open on Tuesday, a day before he was scheduled to play 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro in an all-Argentine matchup in the first round of singles. Nalbandian, the 2002 Wimbledon runner-up, also withdrew from doubles. The U.S. Tennis Association did not say why Nalbandian won’t play in New York. Del Potro will instead face a “lucky loser” - a player who loses in qualifying but gets into the main draw of a tournament because of a late withdrawal. Del Potro’s new opponent won’t be determined until Wednesday. Nalbandian made headlines in June when he was disqualified for injuring a line judge during the final of a grass-court tournament in England by kicking an advertisement board. Associated Press

Fitness tests a prelude to main camp TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Veterans and prospects were put through their paces on Tuesday as Kootenay Ice coaching staff put their players through rigorous fitness testing before training camp opens on Wednesday. Bench presses, chinups, agility testing and endurance running were all methods used by athletic trainer Cory Cameron in assessing the fitness levels of the returning players and prospects. The club even utilized the track up at the College of the Rockies for a punishing test of endurance as players were required to run 20 heats of 100 metres— each of which had to be completed in under 20 seconds. Ice head coach Ryan McGill has only had Monday’s skate and Tuesday’s fitness tests to observe the players under his command, but he already likes what he sees. “They’re all very dedicated to the program this summer and coming into camp in excellent shape so that they give themselves a great chance to start on
the right foot,” McGill said. “That, to me, was the biggest impression I got out of them. They all showed great maturity in that, for sure.” Training camp officially opens on Wednesday, where veterans and prospects will be interspersed together on three teams—Blue, Black and White—for six intrasquad games over the next four days. The camp will conclude on Sunday with the annual Blue-White charity game, which is admission by donation and a fundraiser for the United Way. McGill acknowledges that the team will be young, but he said there is a good core in place to lead the team and mentor new prospects. “We’re really looking forward to this year. I think we have a way more positive outlook on the team than some other people do,” said McGill. “I think this team is going to be a good team and I look right from the top to the bottom. “We’ve got some skill, we’ve got some grit, we’ve got some good leadership, we’ve got a good older group and, you know what,
the goaltender is going to get a chance to show that he belongs, and hopefully he can do that.” Ice captain Drew Czerwonka traded his runners for a clipboard as he helped out the coaching staff with testing while recovering from what McGill calls an upper-body injury.
“We’re really looking forward to this year. I think we have a way more positive outlook on the team than some other people do. I think this is going to be a good team and I look right from the top to the bottom.” Ryan McGill “He is working on his rehab daily and if I’m looking at a timeframe to see him come back, I’m thinking he’s going to be back sometime between the beginning of the season and the first two weeks,” McGill added. With fitness testing
completed, it will be up to on-ice performances for prospects to impress McGill and his staff enough to earn a spot on the roster. Tanner Faith, a defensive prospect who is entering into his third camp, will be looking to overcome the injury demons that dogged him last year. Faith, selected 33rd overall in the second round of the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft, took an early exit from camp last year after getting injured and had another stroke of bad luck when he hurt his shoulder in practice after getting called up last January. His shoulder injury required surgery, which took him out for the rest of last season with the Notre Dame Hounds of the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League. “This is my time to make an impression on the coaches, especially the new coaches here, and try to show them what I have,” said Faith. Collin Shirley, the Ice’s first-rounder in the 2011 Draft, will be looking to do the same thing during his second
appearance training camp. “New coaching staff, everyone starts from scratch,” said Shirley. “Everyone’s at the same thing and you got to show your stuff and make sure you can have a spot on this team and make them know that you’re here and that you want to stay.” Shirley, a left-winger, spent this past season in the SMHL with the Saskatoon Blazers where he posted nine goals and nine assists in 37 games. He also made an appearance on Team Saskatchewan for the Western Canada Challenge Cup tournament last October. One prospect expected to throw down the glove to challenge for a spot on the roster is goaltender Wyatt Hoflin, a 17-year-old netminder who played Midget AAA with the St. Albert Raiders last season. Hoflin backstopped his team to an appearance in the finals for the Alberta provincial title, but the Raiders lost out to the Red Deer Rebels in a three-game series.

Bettman tables new CBA proposal to players union Chris Johnston Canadian Press
NEW YORK - With the possibility of another lockout beginning to loom large, the NHL took what commissioner Gary Bettman termed a “significant” and “meaningful” step in negotiations on Tuesday. It remains to be seen whether the NHL Players’ Association shares that view. Collective bargaining talks resumed with the NHL tabling a proposal that Bettman hailed as being much stronger than the initial one put forth by the league on July 13. He didn’t provide specific details, but a source told The Canadian Press that the offer would see the players’ share of revenue reduced to 51.6 per cent in the first year of the deal and 50.5 per cent in the second - and wouldn’t include a rollback on existing contracts. “It was a proposal that we believe is significant and had mean-
ingful movement,” said Bettman. “It was also designed to address issues that they’ve raised with us and to address the proposal they last made to us in terms of structure and format.” The union is expected to provide a response when the sides meet again on Wednesday. Executive director Donald Fehr first wanted to take more time to evaluate the deal more closely. However, the early word leaking from the players’ side was that they weren’t enamoured with what was put forward - and Fehr hardly sounded enthused when he met the media on Tuesday afternoon. “It’s a proposal that we intend to respond to,” he said. “I’m just going to leave it at that.” The players received 57 per cent of revenues under the expiring agreement and the NHL’s original proposal called for that number to be scaled back to 43 per cent.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman offered a new proposal to the NHLPA union on Tuesday. countered with an offer that would see it fall around 54 per cent for three years before returning to 57 per cent in the fourth. With the NHL’s latest offer, the sides appear to be creeping a little closer on what they’ve been referring to as the “core economic issue.” According to a source, Tuesday’s proposal from the NHL
called for a six-year deal - the first three delinked from hockey-related revenues and the last three coming with a 50-50 split (when factoring in a redefinition of HRR). As a result, the salary cap would climb from $58 million in 2012-13 to approximately $71 million in 2017-18, the last season of the contract. Pressure is mount-
ing on both sides with the CBA set to expire Sept. 15 and the league having already stated it will lock the players out if a new agreement isn’t in place by then. There’s a growing feeling throughout the sport that it’s an inevitability. Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise, who signed a monster US$98-million, 13-year deal in free agency, be-
came the latest to voice that opinion this week when he told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that “Gary’s pretty adamant about his third lockout of his tenure.” On Tuesday, Bettman expressed hope that the league’s latest proposal would start focusing the discussion at the bargaining table. “We need to get on the same page on the economics and we’re hoping that by virtue of the proposal we made today that there will be some traction and that there will be a framework for the negotiation,” he said. The proposal was unveiled in an intimate setting, with only Fehr and union special counsel Steve Fehr in the room for the players and Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly for the league. The morning meeting lasted about 45 minutes and concluded with Fehr saying he wanted to educate his constituents of the situation. About four hours later, the Fehr brothers
returned to the NHL’s head office along with players Mathieu Darche, Ron Hainsey and Douglas Murray to provide the league with some initial thoughts on the offer. More players are due to arrive in town on Wednesday. “As far as an NHL player is concerned, this is his contract and this is his future, and he has both the obligation and the responsibility to make the ultimate decision on it,” said Donald Fehr. “Not alone, but he has to make it with the other players as a group, so it’s crucially important that the players be involved at all stages.” After word of another proposal from the NHL began to spread, Darche said he received text messages from 20 to 25 interested players. The former Montreal Canadiens forward, who is currently an unrestricted free agent, said he remains “encouraged that we’re talking, to be honest with you.”
Milos Raonic advances at U.S. Open Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista to C anadian Press
NEW YORK - Milos Raonic had trouble at the baseline, but still earned his first U.S. Open victory. The Thornhill, Ont., native overcame 55 unforced errors including 15 double faults on Tuesday to defeat Santiago Giraldo of Colombia 6-3, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. Raonic, the No. 15 seed, earned his 34th victory of the season in a match that lasted well over three hours.
“I’m just happy with the outcome and that I managed to make the most of that moment and just find a way to win,” said Raonic. “Everything else I’ve got to hope gets better in the next round.” Raonic had 30 aces, but struggled with unforced errors and converted on only a third of his dozen break points. “I don’t think I struggled with my serve that much in a
Players eager to open training camp Continued from page 8
“That long playoff, I got to work on the pressure and handling that pressure and being that number one guy where night in and night out, people are counting on you to be the best,” said Hoflin. The Ice had two second round picks in the 2010 Draft, scooping up Hoflin four selections after taking Faith.
This will be his third camp and he will be doing everything he can to get onto the roster, which boils down to simply keeping the puck out of the net. “I don’t really give up on a puck,” said Hoflin. “It’s not over until I got it or it’s in the back of the net, and hopefully I get it more than it’s in the back of the net.”
long, long time. A lot of double faults, and it wasn’t just one double fault per game,” said Raonic. “I doublefaulted consistently a couple times in a row, and that made my job a lot more difficult and it gave him a little bit more freedom at the same time.” Raonic did not play at the U.S. Open in 2011 as he recovered from hip surgery. In 2010 as a qualifier, he was beaten by Australian Carsten Ball in his
debut at a major. On Tuesday, Raonic found himself down 2-1, but tied the match with a break in the final game of the fourth set as Giraldo fired wide. The match finished with a Raonic break of Giraldo on a forehand error from the Colombian. He will play PaulHenri Mathieu of France for the first time in the second round of the tournament.
All the prospects attending camp owe their appearance to the scouting efforts to Ice head scout Garnet Kazuik, who scours minor hockey leagues across Western Canada to identify future WHL players. Training camp is where the proverbial cream rises to the top, which allows Kazuik to see how his draft picks have developed over their seasons in their respective leagues. However, the ultimate decision on who ends up on the roster lies with the coaching
staff, which is a challenge in itself as McGill and Kletzel are new to the Ice and Kazuik is still figuring out what they look for in players. “I have to get familiar with what they like and what they want, so it’s still a little bit of a learning process between us,” Kazuik said. “There’s going to be a ton of communication this weekend amongst the three of us because it’s their first viewing of all of our players and prospects so I’m sure they’ll have a hundred questions for me.”
have season-ending surgery
Howie R Umberg Associated Press
NEW YORK - Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista will have season-ending surgery to stabilize a tendon in his left wrist. Bautista said before Tuesday night’s game against the New York Yankees that the recovery period is three to four months and he would be ready to play long before the start of spring training next year. “There’s just too much instability in that tendon and it got to the point where risking injuring the tendon was not worth it,” Bautista said. “That’s why we’re opting to do it now.” Bautista was initially injured in an at-bat against the Yankees on July 16. He chose to give rest and rehab a try and he returned from the disabled list Friday. But he says, while he did not experience any pain, he felt the tendon moving around too much and was taken out of the game against the Baltimore Orioles on Satur-

Toronto Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista will be out for the rest of the season after surgery on his left wrist to stabilize a tendon. day. The two-time defending AL home run champion was immediately put back on the DL and sent to Cleveland to see a hand specialist. Dr. Thomas Graham will perform the operation next week in Cleveland. “Luckily for me the tendon is completely intact,” Bautista said. “He just needs to make it stable again.” Manager John Farrell
said Bautista made it through his rehabilitation program without issue. But the instability he was feeling when he returned was what prompted the recommendation for surgery. “It’s a definitive plan going forward,” Farrell said. “The tough thing through all this is Jose never felt any discomfort but, yet, he didn’t feel the strong stable feeling he typically does.”

Great skill was required to handle the centripetal forces of the “tire roundabout.”

SPEAR GRASS: a Summer Danger For Your Pet
Traveling with your pet? Ask us about the new antinausea medications available.
When Spear grass dries out, it’s very sharp and pointy seeds are easily knocked off. These seeds can attach to your pet and bury into their skin or deep into ear canals where they could potentially rupture the ear drum. Also, check between toes, groin and armpit areas as they can bury into dog’s skin and, over time, become infected. If your pet is excessively shaking its head, scratching or sneezing, please take them to a veterinarian for examination.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Communication excels. You might not be able to meet everyone’s requests or needs. You also might not be able to respond to all the activity going on around you. Look at your priorities, and decide whether you should put order to the chaos or just go with the flow. Tonight: Don’t be too serious. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Stay on top of a situation, and know full well that you might be making a decision for someone else. Don’t worry -- others trust your judgment. Expect the unexpected.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am married to a great guy, and we have two wonderful, intelligent teens. But my mother-in-law is causing great stress. “Mama” was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder 10 years ago and is prescribed a cocktail of drugs to help with a preponderance of violent mood swings, anger, resentment and occasional dissociation. She is a textbook narcissist who can only demand love for herself and is unable to give to others. Her family relationships and many of her friendships have taken a dive. It’s a wonder she can hold down a job. Her big trigger is perceived rejection. When she was in our home, she expected to be everyone’s entire focus. She demanded the full attention and affection of my husband and deeply resented his relationship with his own children. Needless to say, invitations to holiday gatherings dwindled over the years. Her grandchildren have grown up without her in their lives, although we have taken care not to poison them against her. Now, Mama has taken herself off all meds and declared herself cured. She has convinced herself that her diagnosis was wrong, and that her problem all along has been emotional abuse from others, including her children and grandchildren. In short, everyone else is to blame. The trouble now is that she is blogging on the Internet, publicly criticizing family members, including our teenage kids and their cousins. The adults can dismiss this as the ranting of a mentally ill person, but we’re afraid our kids are going to come across the blog one of these days. Any advice? -- Also Sleepless, but in Sonoma Dear Sonoma: You have our sympathy dealing with such a difficult situation. You don’t have to poison the children against Grandma to have a heartfelt discussion on mental illness. The kids are old enough to understand that their grandmother is not well, and that her behavior can be unpredictable and sometimes unkind. They may never see her blog, but if they do, you will have done all you can to inoculate them against whatever damaging reaction they may have. Dear Annie: I work in a small office with one of the most unprofessional and disgusting co-workers a person could have. My main complaint is that when we are in the break room, “Penny” takes out her dentures and sets them on the table. Between the gross dentures and her vulgar mouth, none of us wants to take a break in the one area we have. Nobody, not even management, is willing to address the issue. She reads your column, so please print this. -- Grossed Out Dear Grossed Out: We are sympathetic to Penny’s desire to be comfortable in the break room, but it is important to be considerate of others who share your space. Don’t count on her seeing herself in the column or doing anything about it. Our suggestions are for you: You can take breaks when Penny is not using the room; you can ignore her dentures to the best of your ability; or you can bite the bullet and ask politely if she would refrain from removing her dentures when others are present. Dear Annie: “Loving Mom, Disgusted Mother-in-Law” is worried that her daughter will return to her drug-abusing husband. It’s too bad the daughter isn’t going to Al-Anon. They said I would know when I wanted to make the break. It comes down to how much pain you can tolerate before you are willing to make changes. I realized two things: that I didn’t want him to die in the house, and that we would lose our home if I didn’t do something. He finally reached sobriety six years after the divorce and managed to be a good dad for 22 more. -- J. Dear J.: Self-help groups like Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) and Nar-Anon (naranon.org) can be godsends for those who live with addicts. Thank you.

Sask. senator’s wife in court for plane ruckus C anadian Press
SASKATOON — The wife of a Manitoba senator is no longer charged with endangering the safety of an aircraft. The charge was dropped Tuesday morning when Maygan Sensenberger appeared in domestic violence court in Saskatoon. The 23-year-old still faces one count of causing a disturbance and the Crown added a count of uttering threats. Sensenberger is to appear in court again Tuesday afternoon. Saskatoon police arrested the woman last week after she allegedly caused a ruckus on a flight from Ottawa while sitting with her husband, 69-year-old Sen. Rod Zimmer. Sensenberger has made headlines around the world since her
arrest. Police allege she caused a disturbance on the flight, yelled about bringing down the plane and threatened her spouse. But a witness has said Sensenberger was simply worried about her husband’s health and wanted him to get help for breathing problems he was having during the flight. Scott Wright, a former ambulance attendant who helped Zimmer when the crew asked for medical assistance, has said Sensenberger got upset after Zimmer started feeling tightness in his chest on the Air Canada flight. The crew gave Zimmer some oxygen and he started feeling better, but his wife was still upset and they fought over his condition. Saskatoon police have said the
alleged threats were made before any concerns were expressed about Zimmer’s health. Police and ambulance staff met the plane when it landed. Wright said Zimmer walked off the aircraft by himself. Zimmer, a Liberal, was appointed to the Canadian upper chamber in 2005 by then prime minister Paul Martin. A Facebook page was started in 2010, called “Rod Zimmer & Maygan Sensenberger’s Wedding Page.’’ Photos from the page, as well as Sensenberger’s Facebook page — shots of the couple on the Parliament grounds on their wedding day, boarding a private jet, cuddling with a small dog — have been published by media around the world.

Canadians struggle to recall War of 1812 Farm group fears more Murr ay Bre wster Canadian Press
OTTAWA — There was a war in 1812? Really? The Harper government has been highlighting a war with our American neighbours 200 years ago, but the
relevance of commemorating the event seemed lost on almost all of those who participated in a comprehensive survey for National Defence. The poll, conducted annually, measures impressions of the Cana-
dian military, its missions, equipment and important events. Few people who took part in the survey, and in related focus groups, were aware of the anniversary “and even fewer could identify the War of 1812 by name,’’ said the

research conducted by Phoenix Strategic Perspectives Inc. “Typically, no more than one or two participants in each group were aware that this year is the bicentennial commemoration of the War of 1812, and these people tended to deduce this with simple arithmetic. “From the year, 1812, they made the logical leap to the War of 1812. Most focus group participants had no prior awareness of this anniversary.’’ That may be bad news for the Harper government, which has invested as much as $28 million in historical reenactments, television commercials, museum exhibits, a $60 commemorative coin, and even a mobile app for smart phones. The telephone poll of 1,520 people was conducted in February and March this year, while the focus groups were conducted in January and February. The findings also suggested Canadians may be uncomfortable celebrating wars, or specific battles and would rather focus on recalling the sacrifices of soldiers. “While they acknowledged marking historical events is important, they felt that these type of celebrations need to be modest in scale,’’ said the 84-page report. “For example, Remembrance Day celebrations are fine, but commemorating individual battles was seen to be excessive.’’ That may also be bad
news for the government, which recently commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Second World War raid on Dieppe, France, and is looking ahead to plans to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge. Defence Minister Peter MacKay, who recently presented battle honours at Toronto’s Fort York to some of the regiments that fought 200 years ago, said the series of celebrations are meant to raise awareness and appreciation for the history. “I’m hopeful this effort, and these honours will not be overlooked,’’ MacKay said in a recent interview with The Canadian Press. “It’s really meant to allow Canadians to reflect on a number of things, not the least of which (is) how fortunate we are as country, and the fact we were born out conflict; that so much of what we have today shouldn’t be taken for granted. Our history could have been much different.’’ The Conservatives have argued that the war was an under-appreciated event and that the U.S. invasion of Canada paved the way for Confederation in 1867. The Phoenix Strategic Perspectives poll also showed that awareness of the military and what it is doing has declined considerably, continuing a trend that began in 2008, but accelerated with the army’s withdrawal from combat in Kandahar last year.
cases possible after 1,300 piglets euthanized C anadian Press
WINNIPEG — A farmers group warns cases like one where close to 1,300 piglets had to be euthanized in Manitoba could become more common due to what it calls a crisis in the hog industry. The Manitoba government said in a news release on Tuesday that the piglets were found in western Manitoba after a call was received Friday about inappropriate treatment. It said its chief veterinarian’s office investigated and found the piglets “in severe distress’’ and that they were put down immediately “to avoid further pain and suffering.’’ Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, said he fears similar stories could emerge in the coming weeks because troubles in the pork industry mean weanlings are now essentially worthless. Chorney said farmers face a crisis of low prices for pork, combined with high prices for feed that are being driven by severe drought in the U.S. “I phoned my neighbour who’s been a lifetime hog producer and is a very astute business person,’’ said Chorney, who noted the neighbour’s farm has raised hogs for 75 years. “He said, ‘We’re depopulating our barn and by November there
will be no hogs left.’’’ The Manitoba government says it immediately launched an investigation when it found the piglets. The province isn’t naming the farm or the community it was in, adding no other information will be released due to its investigation. Gary Stordy, a spokesman for the Canadian Pork Council, said that while he doesn’t know anything about the specifics of the Manitoba case, the conditions in the hog industry now are ripe for it. Stordy explained that because the cost of feed has spiked so quickly, hog producers have been forced to sell animals because their credit is being pushed beyond their limits. That, in turn, drives down the prices for pork, and producers end up pressured from both directions. Higher prices for ethanol, which is made from corn, are also a factor in high feed prices, according to the pork council. It says a task group made up of producers and the federal government has been established to review the situation and identify measures to assist the hog sector. Stordy, meanwhile, said the pork council is encouraging farmers to seek help if they’re no longer able to support their herds.

Obituaries POPPLEWELL, Terrance Lee 1945 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2012
In the early morning hours of Saturday, August 25, 2012, Terrance Lee Popplewell passed away suddenly at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 67 years. He is the beloved husband of Linda (Gauthier) and the loving father of two daughters; Stacey Tolles (Jack), and Charlene Nielsen (Scott), and grandchildren: Bria, Erica, Sara, Natalie, and Jorgen. He also leaves his brother Bill (Bonnie) as well as brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, with nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Marie and Angus. Terry was born in Calgary, AB, on May 11, 1945 to Angus and Marie (Geisbrecht) Popplewell. Terry and his family moved to Rossland where his father took a job with Cominco Ltd after the Second World War. There he was raised with his brother Bill. Terry attended Mclean Elementary School and Rossland Senior Secondary High School. He graduated with honours and went on to work as an apprentice at Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Comincoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s analytical services department, where he became an analyst in the lab. He transferred to Cominco Kimberley, where he met and married his wife of 43 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Linda (Gauthier) in Sept 1969. He moved his new wife of ďŹ ve months to Pine Point N.W.T., Cominco property to become their second in command at the assay lab. They stayed in Pine Point for three years and they had their two daughters while living there. They then moved to Cominco Vanscoy SK. (just outside of Saskatoon, SK), to be lead head of the Analytical services Lab, for about one year. He decided to learn a new profession and the opportunity came to him through Cominco to take an apprenticeship to become an electrician. Terry had an interest in electronics as well, and he took a program to learn how to make electronic devices and learn how they work. He worked in construction and maintenance as an electrician for several years and an opportunity came his way with the company to work in the meter shop specializing in electronic repairs. He enjoyed his work there for many years. He decided to go back into the assay Lab and worked for many more years until his retirement in 2001 when he and his wife Linda moved to Cranbrook BC where they have resided for over 10 years. A celebration of Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 2210 - 2nd Street North, Cranbrook, BC on Friday, August 31, 2012 at 2 pm.

Was Yasser Arafat assassinated? Associated Press
PARIS — French prosecutors opened a murder inquiry into the death of Yasser Arafat on Tuesday, his widow’s lawyer said, after she and a TV investigation raised new questions about whether the Palestinian leader was poisoned. Many in the Arab world have long suspected that Arafat was
poisoned, and a Swiss lab’s recent finding of elevated levels of polonium-210 — a rare and highly lethal radioactive substance — on Arafat’s clothing has fed those claims. However, the Institute of Radiation Physics said its findings were inconclusive and that only exhuming Arafat’s remains could bring possible clarity. Pales-
tinian officials have waffled on that matter — initially approving the exhumation and then saying the matter needed more study. Arafat died in a French military hospital outside Paris in 2004 of what doctors have said was a massive stroke, but the Swiss lab’s tests have renewed interest in his death. The findings were first broadcast

by Arab satellite TV station Al-Jazeera, which approached the lab on behalf of Arafat’s widow, Suha. She provided the lab with his clothing and other belongings. After the results were released, Suha Arafat filed a complaint asking for a murder investigation. Her lawyer, PierreOlivier Sur, confirmed on Tuesday that the prosecutor’s office in Nanterre, the seat of the district where the military hospital is, has agreed to take up the matter. Sur said in a statement that his client would not comment because she wanted to let the judge do his work. “This is a good step forward, any step aimed at revealing the truth
about Yasser Arafat’s death is good,’’ said Abdallah Basher, who heads a Palestinian committee investigating Arafat’s death. He added that experts from the Swiss lab would travel to the West Bank in the next few weeks to take samples from Arafat’s remains — even though the matter of his exhumation is still in limbo. Arafat, who died at age 75, is buried in a mausoleum in the walled government compound where he spent the last three years of his life under Israeli siege. Testing Arafat’s bones for polonium-210 could offer the last chance to get to the bottom of Palestinian claims that their leader was poisoned, though some experts say it may already be too late for conclusive answers. Scientists caution that polonium decays quickly and that an autopsy needs to be done quickly. Although Palestinian officials have long accused Israel of being involved in Arafat’s death, Israel has vehemently denied those charges. Suha Arafat’s complaint does not name a responsible party.

Second Yosemite visitor dies from rodent-borne illness Associated Press
YOSEMITE, Calif. — A second person has died of a rare, rodentborne disease after visiting Yosemite National Park earlier this summer and park officials are warning past visitors Monday to be aware of some flu-like aches and symptoms. Health officials learned this weekend of the second hantavirus death, which killed a person who visited the park in June, spokesman Scott Gediman said in a statement. There was one other
confirmed case of the illness, and a fourth is being investigated. Yosemite officials said the four visitors might have been exposed while vacationing at the park’s Curry Village, and are warning those who stayed in the village’s tent cabins from mid-June to beware of any symptoms, which can include fever, aches, dizziness and chills. Federal health officials say symptoms may develop up to 5 weeks after exposure to urine, droppings, or saliva of infected rodents.
