MLAs spar over Jumbo resort status ANNALEE GR ANT

Newly appointed Minister for Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett is defending his impartiality after NDP MLA Norm Macdonald called into question his history with the Jumbo Glacier Resort.

As reported in May, the province amended the mountain resort municipality legislation, opening the door for a request from Glacier Resorts Ltd., the company applying to construct the Jumbo Glacier Resort. At the time, Bennett said the changes

were being done to make room for the controversial resort after its master development plan was approved in March.

“It’s a fairly straightforward issue now,” he told the Townsman this week. “The only question that’s left now is what form of governance will this resort take and one of the options is for the mountain resort municipality to be created. At this stage the processing of this is technical – not political.”

Student injured while jaywalking ANNALEE GR ANT

A Mexican exchange student is recovering after a terrifying fall from the median on Cranbrook St. N as she attempted to cross the five-lane highway on Sept. 9.

The accident occurred in the afternoon Sunday, about 200 metres from the Cranbrook St N. and Victoria Ave. intersection, across from Boston Pizza.

The 14-year-old girl was jaywalking and waiting

to cross on the median when she lost her balance and was clipped by the mirror of a passing vehicle, according to RCMP. The driver of the vehicle braked hard but was unable to change lanes to avoid the girl because of traffic at the time. The girl fell into the vehicle and her hand was pinned underneath the left rear tire.

READY, AIM… Here are four jolly fellows who are prepared to “run the gauntlet” in a couple of weeks as part of a fundraiser for a young Cranbrook woman battling cancer. Left to right: Rob Stang, Cerry Lamb, Stacey Horgis and Darren Lyon are hoping that the opportunity to sting them with paintballs at a dollar a shot will attract hundreds. Also putting their skin on the line are Dean Uphill, Pete Durning, and other irresistible targets. The “running of the gauntlet” is only part of a paintball fundraising day planned in support of Jacey Uphill. See more, Page 2.

A Clear View campaign reaches goal $1 million funding goal met in only 11 months ANNALEE GR ANT

It’s been one heck of a year for Donna Grainger and the East Kootenay Foundation for Health – actually it’s only been 11 months.

Grainger, executive director, and the EKFH launched the A Clear View campaign for a new digital stereotactic mammography machine just 11 short months ago, and the foundation was ecstatic to announce they have completed their goal.

That’s right, the East Kootenay has banded together to raise $1 million in less than a year.

“We’re lucky where we live,” Grainger said.

The original timeline for the A Clear View campaign was two years. Grainger said they started by compiling compelling stories of breast cancer survival and launching them to the public. The foundation had no idea how many people they would resonate

with and inspire to bring in a donation.

As of August, Grainger said they have 800 names of people who have donated. The campaign kicked off with a massive donation of $250,000 from the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary. That donation was special and a great one to begin with: it was donated as a legacy gift by Ethel Zentner, a breast cancer survivor.

This week the campaign was capped off by another

huge donation – $100,000 from the Lake Windermere District Lions Club to bring the tally to $1 million.

“The Auxiliary started it, the Lions finished it and in the middle there were so many,” Grainger said.

While the larger donations were wonderful to receive, Grainger said the 798 people in between kept the momentum going.

TENNIS, ANYONE? Work is underway to construct new tennis courts at Mount Baker Secondary School. The $350,000 project is a collaboration between School District #5 and the City of Cranbrook, with a $50,000 grant from Columbia Basin Trust. A geotechnical study was done on the site prior to work commencing, and drainage pipes will be installed beneath the asphalt.

“The last thing we want is a tennis court that’s going to heave and crack in a few years,” said Chris New, the city’s director of leisure services. According to Rob Norum at SD5, the first phase of the project – ground work, asphalt surfacing and fencing – is expected to be complete by early October. By the spring, the flex surface and lines for tennis will be finished.

A local group is organizing a fundraiser for a young Cranbrook woman who is battling cancer - and some of those involved are putting their skin on the line.

A paintball afternoon is set for Sept. 29, to assist 19-year-old Jacey Underhill.

Rob Stang, one of the organizers, said Echo Field Paintball is

happy to take part and help out Jacey and her family.

The event runs Saturday, Sept. 29, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Echo Field, five minutes west of town.

The event is open to anyone, male and female, ages 10 years old and over. Four categories are available: Men’s Open, Men’s Recreational, Mixed Recreational, and Ladies

literally running the gauntlet of everyone who wants to pay one dollar a ball to take shots at them. Stang hopes the opportunity to sting the skin of someone like, say, the editor of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman would attract a lot of shooters.

Entry fees are $50 a team, which gets you a paintball gun and access to the field. Anoth-

er $20 buys you 200 paintballs. “You’re looking at about $40 a person to come out and play,” Stang said.

Stang said he and the other organizers are hoping to make the paintball fundraiser an annual event. “We want to run the event every year and build on it, for someone who needs help,” he said.

Canada Post has responded to regional district concerns about two rural post offices.

Last month, the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors agreed to send a letter to Canada Post, expressing its concern about Wasa and Grasmere post offices.

The postmaster in Wasa retired in May, and the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) said it was concerned the post office would be closed.

Meanwhile, residents in Grasmere had their mail delivery changed in July from the Grasmere post office to community

mailboxes on Highway 3/93.

Area B Director Heath Slee said the location of the community mailbox was a concern.

“It’s not a good situation for their own public safety because they retrieve their mail from the boxes and then they have to pull out on the highway and turn around to go back to their residence,” said Slee last month.

On September 7, the board accepted a letter from Normand Ouellet, Canada Post’s local area manager, explaining the situation in both Wasa and Grasmere.

He said Canada Post has been seeking a new postmaster

for Wasa since May without success.

“The initial posting for this position concluded on May 27.

Interviews were held on June 27 however none of the candidates met our requirements,” wrote Ouellet.

A second posting for the position closed on September 5.

“I want to assure you we are making every effort to maintain a retail presence in Wasa.

As part of the Canadian Postal Service Charter, we will meet with affected customers and communities to jointly explore options and find practical solutions that address customer concerns if Canada Post be-

lieves we cannot staff this position on a permanent basis.”

Meanwhile, postal delivery in Grasmere was changed because Canada Post determined that the community mailbox would be more advantageous for residents, according to Ouellet’s letter.

“Community mailbox service offers several advantages over group mailbox service (at the post office), including the ability to receive most parcels at the site and also to post mail.”

He added that Canada Post believes the location of the community mailbox to be safe for both customers and Canada Post employees.

Indonesian men are world’s top smokers Associated Press

JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian men rank as the world’s top smokers, with two out of three of them lighting up in a country where cigarettes cost pennies and tobacco advertising is everywhere.

A survey released Tuesday found that 67 per cent of all males over 15 years old smoke.

The sprawling archipelago ranked second only to Russia overall with a rate of 35 per cent.

More than 8,000 people

participated in last year’s study which found a high rate of people subjected to second-hand smoke at work, home and in public places.

Indonesia has long been criticized for its lack of tobacco controls.

It is one of a remaining handful of countries that have failed to sign the World Health Organization’s tobacco treaty.

Smoking-related illnesses kill at least 200,000 people annually in Indonesia.

‘Clear View’ raises $1 million in 11 months Continued from page 1 “It’s all about the accumulation,” she said.

Grainger remembers people seeing the A Clear View sign at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital and dropping by the EKFH office with $5 or even just coins – whatever they had. She also remembers incredible stories of survival told in her office beyond those from the six campaign faces. Events were planned, people organized campaigns in memory of a loved one and many new friends were made in the process.

“I’m so honoured that I met so many great people,” Grainger said.

All of the contributions worked out to be the largest campaign ever tackled by the EKFH. For Grainger, the campaign was an incredible journey.

“Probably one of the highlights of my working career is this campaign,” she said.

Everything about the A Clear View campaign has been quick so far, and Grainger said that will continue. The EKFH is already meeting with its partners to start the process to get the equipment in Cranbrook as soon as possible. She estimates it will take between three and four

“We see a fairly quick turn around time for the stereotactic equipment,” Grainger said.

With such an incredible achievement, Grainger said there’s reason to celebrate. The EKFH will be holding a public celebration to welcome the new equipment into Cranbrook.

More information on that event will be available once the equipment is secured.

“We’re definitely going to have a celebration,” Grainger said.

At the East Kootenay Regional Hospital right now, an 11-year-old film mammography machine serves patients.

The new digital stereo-

tactic mammography machine would shorten wait lists, as the images are available within 10 seconds, and limit exposure for women. The greatest bonus of the new equipment would be that the stereotactic biopsy could be done on site – which means no more travel for breast cancer patients, a quick-

er recovery and no time spent in the hospital.

The machine would make a much smaller incision compared to the current technology, which means less scarring and deformities.

Grainger said there are expected to be 2,500 screenings in the next fiscal year, and the equipment will allow

women in the Kootenays to stay at home for screenings. Women will be able to hear their diagnosis at home, rather than dealing with the stress of travel and an unfamiliar hospital team. Grainger notes that the equipment will also benefit men, as two per cent of men are also diagnosed with breast

cancer.

Any donations received above the $1 million goal will be put into a trust for the Diagnostic Imaging – Mammography fund to help purchase additional supplies needed after the digital stereotactic mammography equipment arrives in Cranbrook.

Kimberley bidding for 2015 Para-Alpine Worlds CAROLYN GRANT Daily Bulletin

Kimberley will be putting in a bid to host the 2015 Para-Alpine World Championships. The bid must be in by September 15 and a decision by Alpine Canada will be forthcoming by the end of October 2012.

Bid Committee member Lloyd Steeves told Kimberley City Council on Monday evening that the event will be held outside of Europe for the very first time and Canada has been chosen as the host country.

But which ski hill will be the host has yet to be decided.

Steeves said there is a good chance that Kimberley Alpine Resort could be that hill.

However, other resorts will be in the mix. Steeves believes that Panorama will

be stiff competition.

The World Championships would be held in February of 2015, after the two Family Day weekends. Being awarded the event would also mean Kimberley would host a World Cup race event in January of 2014, immediately prior to the Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.

Steeves says that the Kimberley Alpine Resort and Tourism Kimberley are on board, though specific details haven’t been worked out. He was at council seeking their support, including a letter of support to include with the bid package, and a promise of the city contributing use of the Conference and Athlete Training Centre.

That facility would be a big part of the bid, Steeves said, being designed for disabled athletes. Indeed Kim-

“Our accessibility is way

better than Panorama,” he said. “Plus we have community buy-in with the city, Tourism Kimberley, Eco-

nomic Development and RCR on board. We have facilities like the conference centre, the airport, ski in/ski out accommodation, and community involvement in the bid committee.”

One of the extras in the Kimberley bid will be a night slalom, skied on the main run under the lights. Also planned are parties in the Resort plaza and the Platzl, fireworks, and a live race feed on giant screen TV. The Bid Committee consists of Steeves, Donna Briggs and Steve Bova from the Kimberley Disabled Skiers Association, Ted Funston from RCR, Kevin Wilson from the city, Jesse Ferguson from Tourism Kimberley and Grant Sharam from the Conference Centre.

Other Canadian cities may apply as well, including Mont Tremblant, but Steeves

doesn’t think they can pull off all the events on one mountain. Panorama would be the biggest competition, he feels.

The event would involve some 100 athletes along with 100 coaches, about 100 out of town volunteers, and an estimated 200 to 500 others including officials, media and spectators.

The World Championships are a 10-day event plus training. All the alpine discipline races will be raced — the Downhill, Super G, Giant Slalom and Super Combined plus a team event. The 2014 World Cup event is an eight-day event plus training.

City council unanimously agreed to support the bid.

“It’s really exciting,” Steeves said. “If we win, it will be a fabulous day for Kimberley.”

The fundraising family dinner, silent auction and dance for 14-year old cancer patient Jenna Homeniuk was a huge success, raising just under $19,000.

The funds will be used to assist Jenna’s family as they help her through her battle with leukemia, and allow them to be with her at Children’s Hospital in Calgary.

Jenna, a Grade 9 student at Selkirk, was just diagnosed at the end of August and will spend at least the next eight months in hospital.

MLAs talk Jumbo process Student hurt jaywalking Continued from page 1 Macdonald, MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke in which the Jumbo Valley sits, said Bennett’s new cabinet position is the ministry responsible for whether a project is given the green light for resort municipality status.

“Bill Bennett is now responsible for a piece of controversial legislation that was passed last spring which made a flawed piece of legislation on the creation of resort municipalities even worse,” Macdonald said.

Resort municipality status would allow a municipality to be created in an area where there are no residents.

The ministry would then appoint a three-person council that would sit for three years to represent the interests of the resort. An election for a five member council would be held after a three year term or if the population reached a “critical mass.”

Bennett said resort municipality status is not a simple yes or no answer and there was no room in the legal channels it must follow for his personal opinion.

“There’s no formal application,” he said.

“You express an interest.

Glacier Resorts Ltd. has expressed an interest in having a resort municipality but we have not made any decisions. If everything lines up and it’s appropriate, that would be one of the options the minister would have.”

Further, Bennett said the status can not be approved by the minister alone, but is created by the cabinet.

“There’s no opportunity for ministers to make some sort of personal decision that they’re going to create a mountain resort municipality just because they want to,” Bennett said, adding that consultations with local First Nations are ongoing. “It all has to be in conformance with the legislation. It all has to be done in conformance with the legal obligations to First Nations.”

Macdonald disagrees, saying Bennett was in the legislature when the motion passed, and should be

“I have no concerns “If the government’s about finding a few intention is to benefit well respected, a small group of experienced, honest individuals that are people in the Columbia friendly to them by Valley to form the giving them additional appointed council.

aware that he now holds the keys to the resort municipality status.

“They’re able to create a resort municipality that can be created by the minister alone,” Macdonald said. “In this case now it would be Bill Bennett, who has made it absolutely clear that he supports the idea of imposing land use decisions on people in the Columbia Valley.

“If there’s any suggestion by Bill Bennett that it’s more difficult or more rigorous than that, that’s just not the case and it’s legislation he voted for.”

Macdonald is concerned about the appointed council and the lack of guidelines for creating the three-person panel to represent the resort.

“There were no guidelines as to who the individuals would be other than presumably those the minister wanted,” he said. “They would sit as a council the same way that the City of Kimberley sits.”

Back in February, Bennett traveled to France at his own expense to meet with potential investors in the Jumbo Glacier Resort.

Along with him were Grant Costello and Jill Bodkin of Glacier Resorts Ltd. Bennett said he has not talked to the proponents for months, and is unaware if funding has

been obtained for the project or not.

“My role as an MLA was to see that due process was followed and that government was fair,” he said. “I’m not a developer. I’m not getting involved in the development of the resort, that’s up to the proponent. My support is of the process – the legal process that’s in place for all projects.”

Macdonald said the France trip sent the wrong message at the time, and granting resort municipality status would provide rights to a group of business people.

“The history that Bill Bennett has with this project is long and deep and he has invested an extraordinary amount of political capital to move the project ahead in a way that I think most would wonder why he would be involved as heavily as he is,” he said.

“If the government’s intention is to benefit a small group of individuals that are friendly to them by giving them additional rights, I would say that is extraordinarily irresponsible and it must not happen. The legislation itself is just incredibly weak.”

The appointed council is another concern for Macdonald, who said they could sit indefinitely if no permanent community was built up

around the resort.

“There is no timeframe for when elections would take place and no criteria. So it can go on as an appointed board ad infinitum,” he said, predicting there would never be a permanent population at the Jumbo Resort.

Bennett said appointed councils have happened several times to create new municipalities, and points to Sparwood and Tumbler Ridge as examples.

“They are often created by starting with an appointed council which oversees the development of the community until such time as there are electors living full time in the community to elect a mayor and council,” he said. “Mr. Macdonald does not seem to know the history of his own province.”

During the debate of Bill 41, which included the amendment to the Local Government Act on resort municipalities, Macdonald said Bennett raised his concerns about an appointed council.

“Bill Bennett himself said it’s a problem in the debate,” he said. “It’s just so clearly inconsistent with democratic principles.”

Macdonald said he has asked the province to explain who would pay for expenses related to the appointed council. Bennett said he has no concerns about hiring the right people for the job.

“If the province proceeds with a mountain resort municipality, a small council will be appointed of well-respected local people to oversee the initial development of the resort community. A Chief Administrative Officer will be hired and paid for by the province,” Bennett said.

“I have no concerns about finding a few well respected, experienced, honest people in the Columbia Valley to form the appointed council.

“It is sad that Mr Macdonald fails to have the confidence that such people can be identified in his riding.”

Bennett said he had not yet come across the Jumbo file in his new ministerial position, however the issue had been brought up briefly as he met with ministry staff in orientation last week.

She sustained minor injuries to her hand and foot.

RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel said jaywalking on the Strip happens often, but it is an extremely dangerous exercise as demonstrated in this incident.

“Cranbrook St. and Van Horne St. are highways. Not only is jaywalking illegal, you’re moving across four lanes of traffic,” he said, adding that at some points that can change to five lanes.

The two connected roads are also a 60 kilometre per hour zone, which means traffic is moving faster there than on smaller side streets in town. The highway is frequented by transport trucks and vacationers

towing large trailers.

At that particular Cranbrook St and Victoria Ave. intersection, drivers are preparing for their left hand turn and can often be looking ahead, not at potential jaywalkers on the median Newel said.

“People believe that they have that island as a safety pocket,” he said, adding that distracted drivers are out there and the median is not a proper barrier to oncoming traffic. “The consequences can be serious.”

Many jaywalkers may not realize that bigger vehicles can hide a smaller one behind them as they drive down Cranbrook St. Newel cautions that a pedestrian may enter the highway unaware that there is another vehicle following in another

lane.

Dangerous situations can also arise when traffic slows to allow a jaywalker to cross when they shouldn’t. Newel said that situation can catch following motorists off guard, triggering a chain reaction when they realize too late that a vehicle ahead of them has stopped.

“People think they’re being courteous,” he said.

The RCMP is urging pedestrians to use the infrastructure available to them for their own safety after the incident.

No charges are being considered against the driver of the vehicle.

The girl is expected to recover, but Newel was unable to provide any additional details on the nature of her injuries.

t was a welcome change from the So the outlook seemed grim for Rimsa usual dreary story: a Christian or a Masih when she was arrested last month – Hindu Pakistani accused of blasphe- but then the imam who had called the pomy on flimsy grounds, tried, and sen- lice, Hafiz Mohammad Khalid Chisti, was tenced to prison – or found innocent, arrested for doctoring the evidence.

The victim this time was “I asked him what he a 14-year-old Christian girl, was doing,” the deputy told Rimsa Masih, who is bea television station, “and he lieved to suffer from Down’s said this is the evidence Gwynne syndrome. She was stopped against them (the local Dyer by a young Muslim man Christians) and this is how who found the half-burned we can get them out from remnants of a book that allegedly included this area.” Two other witnesses came forverses from the Quran in her carrier bag.

Islam teaches the equality of all believ-

ers, but the caste system is alive and kicking in Pakistan. Go far enough back, and almost all Pakistani Muslims are descended from Hindus – and when those Hindu communities converted to Islam, they retained their ideas and prejudices about caste.

This was particularly disheartening for groups at the bottom of the caste pecking order who had hoped that Islam would free them. When the British empire arrived in the area, therefore, it was the poorest and most despised section of the population who converted to Christianity.

So everybody knows that most Christians are really “untouchables.” The argument that got Asia Bibi in trouble, for example, broke out when some of her Muslim fellow workers refused to drink the water she had fetched because Christians were “unclean”.

The Hindu minority is mostly just as low-caste as the Christians, and equally vulnerable. Together they are only 6 million out of 187 million Pakistanis, but they account for the vast majority of blasphemy accusations. In many cases, these accusations are merely a convenient weapon for Muslims engaged in land disputes and other quarrels with members of the minority groups.

Maybe the Pakistani government has finally found the nerve to deal with this corrupt law and to protect its victims. The Rimsa Masih case is a hopeful sign. But Pakistan still has a long way to go before all of its citizens are really equal under the law.

Opinion/features Letters to the Editor

Cuba Re: MLA Bill Bennett, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liberals accuse NDP of infatuation with Communist Cubaâ&#x20AC;? (August 29); Canadians should be proud that Canada has not allowed itself to adopt the mean-spirited and totally negative attitude that the U.S.A. has espoused for the past half century towards the small country of Cuba.

The Americans have a problem with Cuba because Castro took their fleshpots away from them when he and his party ousted the demagogue Batista from power.

They are also jealous of the sports successes that Cubans have in baseball and boxing, two of Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favourite games.

Then there are the great jazz musicians that Cuba has produced.

So is Cuba a Caribbean paradise? No, definitely not. Is the U.S.A. a North American paradise? Not for many Americans

these days. There would have been better opportunities for Cuba to become more democratic had the U.S. not ostracized Cubans, and been so undemocratic as to make it a crime to ever visit or do business with Cubans.

Bill, why did you never attack Jim Abbott for his visits to North Korea when he was your MP? Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a country that is a nasty piece of work, but perhaps it is more to your liking.

even half that splendid.

Canada falls 2-0 to Panama in key World Cup qualifier GAVIN DAY Canadian Press

PANAMA CITY - It took less than a week for the lights to go out on Canada’s dream of an easy road to the World Cup. The men’s soccer team went to Panama looking to extend its lead atop the CONCACAF qualifying group, but a lacklustre effort on hostile ground resulted in a 2-0 loss to a far more energetic opponent.

Rolando Blackburn and Blas Perez each scored for Panama (3-01), which regained the top spot in Group C on Tuesday and left Canadian coach Stephen Hart lamenting his team’s effort.

“We were second best in everything,” said Hart.

“We were second best to close the ball down, second best in the tackle.

We didn’t pass the ball well or keep possession well and they scored the goal and put us under pressure and I thought our heads dropped way too easily because one goal was scored on us.”

Canada (2-1-1) entered the match on a high after beating Panama 1-0 at BMO Field in Toronto on Friday.

But the team looked out of sorts in the first few minutes of the rematch while Panama appeared buoyed by the incredible noise made by the home supporters at the Estadio Rommel Fernandez.

A bank of lights in the stadium’s north end went dark and remained that way for about 14 min-

utes.When play resumed, Canada had taken out star striker Dwayne De Rosario due to a knee injury that he suffered on an earlier tackle.

The delay provided an opportunity for the Canadian medical staff to work on De Rosario, but in the end they had to replace him with Tosaint Ricketts.

“It might be an (medial collateral ligament injury),” said Hart. “We don’t know. We have to do an MRI.” With Canada’s best striker out of the game, Panama smelled blood.

Blackburn struck in the 23rd minute after rising above some suspect Canadian marking to head in the ball just inside the post.

“No excuse,” said Hart. “You’re going to come down here. You’re going to have to try and get points on the road and the way we started and the lights going out and losing Dwayne we were really lethargic overall and we played the price for it.”

Coming out of the locker-room in the second half, Canada quickly won a few corner kicks in pursuit of an equalizer.

Those came to nothing and in the 57th minute, Panama doubled their advantage.

Quintero led an attack on the left wing and easily evaded a sliding Edgar tackle. Hirschfeld raced off his line to try to cut down the angle but Quintero cut the ball back and Perez was there to stab it home from close range.

MOUNT BAKER SPORTS

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS: The Mount Baker Senior Secondary football team took to the field last weekend to challenge the Pincher Creek Mustangs. While the Baker Wild put in a solid effort, the more experienced Mustangs walked away with the win. The Wild have their next home game on Saturday against a visiting team from Medicine Hat with kickoff at 2 p.m. at the Mount Baker field. The senior girls volleyball team will be off to Creston this weekend for their opening action while boys soccer is currently going through tryouts.

Marysville to host roller derby championship TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Get your derby on this weekend with the East Kootenay Roller Derby league up in Marysville to decide the league champions in the final event titled Back in Black and Blue.

Four teams from Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie and Invermere will converge on the Memorial Arena this Saturday night to close out the 2012 season by getting on the track for the two remaining bouts.

The Bavarian Barbarians will take to the roller derby track to challenge Cranbrook’s

Mountain Town Maulers, while the Invermere Killer Rollbots and the Avalanche City Roller Girls (Fernie) will battle each other for the league title.

Kimberley’s Pamela Currie, known in derby circles as ‘Demolition Dolly’ is looking forward to the final tilt as her team puts a year’s worth of training into practice.

“We’ve been putting a lot of work in—all the teams in the league have been putting a lot of work in—and this is the finals, so I think it just makes it extra exciting,” said Currie.

The Bavarians won

their only game of the season against the Mountain Town Maulers and they will be anticipating a tough game as Cranbrook attempts to avenge its loss.

After the two local teams do battle, the Avalanche City Roller Girls and the Invermere Killer Rollbots will play in the championship game. The ACRG are perfect, with a 4-0 record, defeating the Rollbots once back at the Bonnie and Collide event in Marysville in June.

Currie credits the work of Diana Wiest, also known as Adoll Hitter out on the track, for

keeping the team focused and encouraging everyone to keep going, even if they get knocked down.

“She just exhibits true leadership,” said Currie. “Derby girls are really good for falling down and getting back up, but sometimes your spirit gets hurt, especially if you fall down a lot.

“Adoll is really good at lifting you up that way, telling you that you can really do it and getting us to emotionally commit to doing what we need to do.”

In addition to derby action, Currie said fans can also participate in a

fundraiser for Jenna Homeniuk, a local Kimberley high-school student who is battling Leukemia.

Currie is also encouraging any ladies interested in giving roller derby a shot to get involved with Barbarians, as numbers have fluctuated over the year.

Even though the EKRDL will wrap up action this weekend, the Barbarians will be on the track again in Marysville on Saturday, Sept. 22, for another bout against an Alberta team, which will be a fundraiser towards covering costs for the Barbarians 2013 season.

Toronto’s four-game win streak ends with loss to Mariners

70

Happy

th

Birthday

Here’s to ‘Chub’ from the boys in the DUB

GREGORY STRONG Canadian Press

TORONTO - It was clear from the start that Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow didn’t have his best stuff against the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night.

He gave up hits to the first three batters he faced and the Mariners built an early lead they wouldn’t relinquish in a 4-3 victory over Toronto

in front of a season-low Rogers Centre crowd of 12,935.

Morrow tied a career high by giving up 11 hits over four-plus innings as the Blue Jays had their four-game winning streak come to an end.

Toronto (64-76) had its chances against Seattle starter Erasmo Ramirez (1-2) but couldn’t put together a big inning.

Morrow needed 27

pitches to get out of the opening frame. The Mariners put up two early runs and were on their way to ending a three-game skid.

“I think the only thing that kept that from being eight runs was probably my changeup,” Morrow said. “I had a decent change-up and was able to keep them off-balance a little bit that way.

“But it was just one of those days, really.”

Seattle (68-74) had four of its 14 hits in the opening frame. Morrow had given his former team fits in the past, winning all three of his starts and posting an impressive 1.89 earnedrun average.

The Mariners used a balanced offensive attack with all but one starter recording at least

one hit. Kyle Seager was a triple short of the cycle and Franklin Gutierrez added two hits and a run.

“We were ready for the fastball,” Gutierrez said. “(Morrow) is a power pitcher and obviously we need to get on the fastball first and that’s what we did, get him early and try to score some runs early in the game.”

Promoter pleased with reception for first-ever MMA event Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

In a first of its kind, the Battle for the Border electrified Western Financial Place on Saturday night as MMA fighters challenged each other inside the Octagon in front of 2,000 roaring fans.

The event, two years in the making, was the brainchild of Isaac Hockley and Jody McInnes, which turned from idea into reality through months of hard work after working with the city of Cranbrook to iron out all the legal and logistical details.

But it was all worth it, according to Hockley, who hopes that the first MMA event will be one of many in the future.

“I’ve had really good call-backs on the fighters in town,” said Hockley. “Everyone said they were really respectful and very professional.

We’re just really excited with the way things went.”

The headlining event of Derek Boyle and Aaron Armstrong was arguably the most exciting fight, but others kept the crowd en-

gaged. Curtis Blackmore had the whole arena cheering for him during his bout with Lee Morrison, the lone international opponent from the United States.

The event pitted B.C. fighters against their Albertan rivals, which included locals Curtis Blackmore, John MacKinnon, Chris Darula, David Crawford, Brandon MacArthur, Nik Ramsay, Mike Seguin and Sheldon Doll.

Some fights were settled quickly, others went into two rounds, while Boyle and Armstrong went all three, which was settled by a Unanimous Decisions.

Seguin was the lone

victor representing the region, as the Kimberley-based fighter submitted Josh Strate with a Rear-Naked Choke in his first-ever amateur fight.

Denis Senecal MC’d during the night, working up the crowd with his enthusiastic introductions of the fighters as they made their entrances to flashing light displays and loud music.

Overseeing most of the action inside the octagon was Big John McCarthy, a referee who was the first head referee for Ultimate Fighting Championships and a former police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Scott MacLeod, the chair of the city’s athletic commission, said everything came together very well because of the hard work Hockley, McInnes and Cranbrook city staff.

Without the athletic commission, there could be no MMA event, but that changed last January when the city created the regulatory body.

“The city gave us the bylaw, which gave us the broad strokes,” said MacLeod. “Then we had to take that and figure out how we were going to administer the bylaw, get all the paperwork and forms in order.

“We had to work

do it.”

Hockley said the event was profitable for him and McInnes, who have partnered to form H&M Productions with the goal of bringing in different kinds of enter-

tainment ranging from music acts to theatrical productions.

However, Hockley is hoping to get another MMA event into Western Financial Place by as early as next spring.

NHL, NHLPA to meet before weekend deadline Seattle backs deal for new arena to bring in the NBA

Associated Press

NEW YORK - The NHL and the players’ association will resume negotiations on Wednesday in an effort to avoid a lockout this weekend.

After not meeting face to face since last Friday, the sides planned to get together at the league office in New York before the NHLPA holds player meetings later Wednesday.

The NHL board of governors will convene on Thursday with Commissioner Gary Bettman, while the union holds a second day of discussions with as many as 250 players.

The hastily scheduled negotiating session for Wednesday came just hours after NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said owners and players were both to blame for their failure to reach a new collective bargaining agreement before current deal expires on Saturday.

Daly wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he hoped both sides would meet before Saturday, but didn’t sound optimistic it would happen.

“To this point, we have received no indication that the union has anything new to say to us. And right now, we have nothing new to say to them,” he wrote Tuesday. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s the reality of the situation.”

That changed Tuesday night. Whether the restart of talks will lead to a quick resolution remains to be seen. The NHL’s labour contract expires at midnight Saturday night, and a lockout seems likely. It would be the league’s fourth work stoppage since 1992.

“Ultimately, we just want to negotiate a fair deal that will give all our clubs an ability to be stable and healthy,” Daly wrote. “We hoped (and still hope) we can

do that without causing any interruption to the upcoming season.

Logic would have suggested we would have been able to. The fact that we haven’t yet is extremely disappointing, and is a failure for which we both must share blame.”

Several hundred players are set to attend the NHLPA meetings Wednesday and Thursday to discuss the current state of CBA negotiations.

The board of governors could authorize Bettman to proceed with a lockout on Saturday if a new collective bargaining agreement hasn’t been reached.

Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask fears the season will be delayed.

“I hear November, December and New Year’s,” he said Monday at Boston’s annual golf pre-camp golf tournament. “But no one really knows.”

Donald Fehr, who took over as union head

two years ago, said his players are resigned to a work stoppage, which would follow lockouts last year in the NFL and the NBA. Many of those players will gather in Manhattan this week in this off-season’s biggest show of force. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby, one of the league’s biggest stars, is one of them. He skated on Tuesday with some of his Penguins teammates in suburban Pittsburgh and expects to be in New York on Wednesday.

Industry revenue has grown from $2.1 billion to $3.3 billion

annually under the expiring deal. Owners asked players to cut their share of hockey related revenue from 57 to 43 per cent, and then modified their offer to 46 per cent during a six-year proposal.

Players are concerned management hasn’t addressed its problems by re-examining the teams’ revenue-sharing format.

The sides haven’t had a full bargaining session since Aug. 31 and the strife is threatening regular-season openers scheduled to start Oct. 11. The preseason schedule is set to begin on Sept. 19.

Associated Press

SEATTLE - The Seattle City Council has agreed to a deal that would build a $490 million arena that could host NBA and NHL teams.

The King County Council previously approved the plan that calls for $200 million in public money.

The City Council wanted investor Chris Hansen to address concerns about traffic congestion raised by the

Port of Seattle and businesses in the area south of downtown. The agreement announced by council members Tuesday creates a $40 million transportation infrastructure fund.

Hansen has already acquired land for an arena near the stadiums for the NFL’s Seahawks and MLB’s Mariners.

Seattle has been without an NBA team since new owners moved the Sonics to Oklahoma in 2008.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife’s sister and her husband moved in with my mother-in-law 30 years ago. Mom was the sole caregiver until age limited her ability, and then government aid allowed for home assistance.

Mom supported them while my brotherin-law spent every dime on alcohol and toys. When Mom died two years ago, my sister-in-law ended up in a nursing home.

My brother-in-law is in bankruptcy and has done nothing to plan for his wife’s needs.

My wife owns the house, although there is a lien on it from the state because of the aid my sister-in-law received. My wife and I cannot manage the responsibility or expense of maintaining the home, and we’d like to sell it and pay back the state.

Four months ago, we informed my brother-in-law that we will be putting it up for sale. But he has not moved out. In fact, he says his lawyer told him he can drag it out for a year.

As bad as my brother-in-law is, I still feel some compassion for him, although I do not feel we are responsible for him. His bad decisions and inability to plan are his own fault. I have held onto the letter informing him to vacate the house. I need help with licking the stamp so we can move on. -- C. Dear C.: You can hire a lawyer to have your brother-in-law evicted more quickly, but it sounds as if you are reluctant to do that. However, unless you are willing to let him stay indefinitely, you both are only postponing the inevitable. Talk to your brother-in-law calmly, and find out what his future plans are. Ask how you can help him move into more manageable accommodations. Suggest he contact AA (aa.org).

Do as much as you can to ease your conscience, but understand that there is only so much you can do if your brother-in-law is unwilling to help himself.

Dear Annie: I’d like to see my children wait until marriage before having sex, but I realize that probably will not happen. I want to be able to advise my children correctly, so here are my questions: What is the age of consent? And if two 15-year-olds are intimate and caught, are both punished the same?

Under the current system, a 17-yearold boy could have consensual sex with his 15-year-old girlfriend and go to jail. The boy is branded for life as a sex offender. I think these laws are outdated and need to be modified. -- Ellen in Florida Dear Ellen: The age of consent varies by state and falls somewhere between 16 and 18. You can find this information on the Internet simply by typing “age of consent by state” into your search engine. The punishment also varies by state and depends on the age of the older partner, the age of the younger partner, the number of years between them, etc. The underage partner is not punished, and if both kids are 15, neither is punished unless there was coercion.

These laws were intended to protect children from predatory adults, although we agree that a distinction should be made for teenagers who have consensual sex with their boyfriends and girlfriends. Until then, however, please be sure your children understand the risks and urge them to be careful.

Dear Annie: The letter from “Sad Wife” resonated with me. For years, my husband could not hold a decent job.

I realized, after he was fired from his last job, that I didn’t believe in him. When he asked me, with tears in his eyes, whether I would divorce him, I decided to have complete faith. From that point forward, I truly believed he would be successful. I stayed positive, encouraging and kept him motivated. Within months, he had two amazing job offers.

Now he has a great career, and our relationship is stronger than ever. Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you are right. -- Proud Wife Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Mammoth fragments raise cloning hopes Associated Press

MOSCOW — Scientists have discovered well-preserved frozen woolly mammoth fragments deep in Siberia that may contain living cells, edging a tad closer to the “Jurassic Park’’ possibility of cloning a prehistoric animal, the mission’s organizer said Tuesday.

Russia’s North-Eastern Federal University said an international team of researchers had discovered mammoth hair, soft tissues and bone marrow some 100 metres underground during a summer expedition in the northeastern province of Yakutia.

Expedition chief Semyon Grigoryev said Korean scientists with the team had set a goal of finding living cells in the hope of cloning a mammoth. Scientists have previously found bones and fragments but not living cells.

Grigoryev told the online newspaper Vzglyad it would take months of research to determine whether they have indeed found the cells.

“Only after thorough laboratory research it will be known whether these are living cells or not,’’ he said, adding that would take until the end of the year at the earliest.

Wooly mammoths are thought to have died out around 10,000 years ago, although scientists think small groups of

Obituaries

them lived longer in Alaska and on Russia’s Wrangel Island off the Siberian coast.

Scientists already have deciphered much of the genetic code of the woolly mammoth from balls of mammoth hair found frozen in the Siberian permafrost.

Some believe it’s possible to recreate the prehistoric animal if they find living cells in the permafrost.

Those who succeed in recreating an extinct animal could claim a “Jurassic Park prize,’’ the concept of which is being developed by the X Prize Foundation that awarded a 2004 prize for the first private spacecraft.

YOUR AD in the BULLETIN has staying power. has selling power!

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
