Rising Wasa waters threaten homes S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff
Wasa is on high alert today as lake levels continue to rise quickly following last week’s record rainfall. A state of emergency was declared for Wasa on Tuesday, June 25, after the level of the lake rose between four and six inches overnight. While there was no order to evacuate, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) was warning residents to be prepared to leave flood-affected homes. “It may happen. We want people to be aware that the water is still coming up,” said RDEK’s Dan McNeill. Nine homes were sandbagged on Tuesday at the south end of the lake, with crews from the Wildfire Management Branch in Cranbrook out at Wasa to assist with sandbag-
ging efforts. Two crews of 10 were sandbagging two homes at a time around the ground-fed lake, which peaks about a week after the nearby Kootenay River. As of press time, the water in Wasa Lake was still about two feet below its level last year, when Wasa also experienced flooding. Just like last year, the RDEK is advising Wasa residents to boil water from their wells until the water can be tested by Interior Health. Several wells and septic systems are likely to be underwater as the lake rises. Volunteers at Wasa Community Hall were helping Tuesday, including Garry Verigin of Wasa Slim Pickens, whose store donated a truck, skidster and trailer for the efforts.

Truck retrieved from creek, but no sign of missing men S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff
The truck in which two young men went into Findlay Creek on June 8 has been pulled out of the water, according to a statement from Cranbrook RCMP. Stephen Thomson, 21, of Canal Flats and Nicholas Hoefnagels, 19, of Carstairs, Alberta were reported missing on June 9 after they failed to return to their campsite at Whitetail Lake. A subsequent search found signs a vehicle had gone off the forestry road into Findlay Creek and personal belongings of the two men were found nearby. However, the creek was flowing too high and too fast to get to the vehicle, which was finally sighted underwater on June 18 after the family of the missing men paid for

a blasting permit. Continuing efforts to recover the truck were hampered by last week’s extreme rainfall, which markedly increased the river flows in Findlay Creek. Receding water levels revealed that during the rainfall event, the truck had been pushed downstream and was now visible and accessible. “Family and friends of the missing men brought a skidder to the area which hooked the truck and pulled it to shore,” said Cpl. Pat Prefontaine. “The truck has now been towed from the location. The damage to the truck from the water pressure was extensive. “Neither of the deceased were located in the vehicle wreckage and the search will continue as environmental conditions permit.”
Stampede still up in the air for Cranbrook competitors A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff
Calgary is in a state of recovery from the recent devastating floods, and with just over a week to go for cleanup efforts, the famed Calgary Stampede is going ahead. Jim Wavrecan will be driving the City of Cranbrook’s float in the Stampede parade. Wavrecan said he’d heard from organizers that the parade is going on. “I just emailed back the fellow that’s in charge of the municipal floats and said now more than ever we’d be there to support the city,” he said. The parade will most likely have to take a bit different route. “The usual setup is for a bar-
becue on Thursday night and a breakfast on Friday morning, but I suspect that area got washed right out, because it’s right where the Elbow and the Bow meet. So there may be a different starting location. Judging from what I see on TV, I think they’ll have the streets cleared up pretty good. It shouldn’t be a problem to do the parade.” Wavrecan has been driving the float off and on for 20 years. “We’ve been pretty pleased with the float this year,” he said. “We’ve been in two out-of-town parades and won first prize in our category in both of them.” A few years ago, Cranbrook even won the Calgary Stampede’s float competition, when
the float featured Cranbrook’s famous escaped elephant. Also in Cranbrook, Lawrence McGibbon of Carlaw Clydes is preparing horses for the Stampede despite still not knowing the extent to which the event will be going ahead. McGibbon said he had put in calls to people he knows in the office but had no answer yet. On the weekend, seeing the damage that was occurring, he said he thought for sure the Stampede would be cancelled, as much of the grounds and buildings were flooded, but on Monday he saw the message on the stampede website saying that the show was going ahead.

College hires new president, CEO Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
The College of the Rockies has hired a new president and CEO to
replace retiring president Dr. Nick Rubidge. David Walls, the college’s seventh president, will take over on August
19, coming from Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology, where he was most recently Pro-
vost and Vice President Academic, and had also held the positions of Associate Vice-President Academic and Student
35-1500 Cranbrook St N in the Tamarack Shopping Centre
Affairs, and Dean of Industrial Training. During his career, Walls has also held senior positions at the
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), including Dean of Energy and Natural Resources, and Dean of Mechanical Trades and Technologies. “I am delighted to have been selected as the next President of College of the Rockies,” said Walls. “The enthusiasm and pride for the College exhibited by everyone I met during the selection process was both gratifying and infectious.” “College of the Rockies has earned a solid reputation for innovation and growth. I’m excited to have the opportunity and privilege to lead this great institution into a future I have no doubt will be filled with amazing opportunities and interesting challenges,” said Walls. “I’m looking forward to living and working in this beautiful region of British Columbia and experiencing the wonderful East and Central Kootenay communities served by the College.” During his time in Saskatchewan, Walls has served as chair of the Board of the Saskatoon Trades and Skills Centre, and as a member of the Boards of the Saskatchewan Academic Health Sciences Network and the International Mining Innovation Institute. He holds a Master of Science, Welding Technology and Management from Aston University in Birmingham, England, and a Bachelor of Technology, Metallurgy from Brunel University in Uxbridge, England. Walls will move to Cranbrook with his wife Kathleen, a psychologist. They have three grown children. “College of the Rockies’ board undertook a comprehensive and inclusive six-month search for our new president,” said board chair
David Walls
Orest Federko. “The board unanimously passed a motion at its June 13, 2013 meeting to offer the position to David Walls on the recommendation of a 16-member search committee which included members from the board, students, senior administration, management, faculty and support staff. “The focus of the search process was to secure a president with the experience, leadership qualities and vision to build upon College of the Rockies’ achievements and take the innovative spirit of the college to additional heights,” said Federko. “David Walls has displayed to us his passion for post-secondary education and student success, and has given us confidence in his ability to lead a consultative process which will set a strategic course for our future. “He is a dedicated, successful leader who has served in progressively senior post-secondary positions from instructor to provost and vice-president. He is experienced in strategic management and institutional growth, has led the development of market-driven education and training, is skilled in building innovative partnerships and successful teams, has an entrepreneurial flair and leads with a consultative style,” Federko said.

Water levels dropping around East Kootenay S a lly Mac D on al d Townsman Staff
Around the East Kootenay — outside Wasa — flood conditions continued to improve on Tuesday, according to a statement from the Regional District of East Kootenay. For the first time ever, the RDEK has had to activate emergency operations centres in all three areas of the region: the central subregion (around Cranbrook and Kimberley and the South Country), the Columbia Valley and the Elk Valley. Kimberley Creek is almost totally back in its channel. Due to lower water levels, crews were able to access their water intake in the Mathew Creek area to assess damage and determine next steps. They will also now be focusing efforts on addressing the erosion
that took place in Mark Creek last week. In Hosmer, 120 clean up kits from the Red Cross were delivered to the Hosmer Community Centre and are now available for use throughout the Elk Valley. Dike inspections showed no change. Interior Health information was emailed to the community and posted at the Community Centre regarding proper steps to shock wells and get water tested. The State of Local Emergency remains in effect for Electoral Area A. The Emergency Social Services Reception Centre that had been set up at the Fernie Curling Club has been closed as all evacuation orders have been lifted. In Fernie, a State of Local Emergency remains in effect. The storm water system is handling the water at
this time. All dikes are holding. All City parks remain closed as City staff work to determine the full extent of the damage. The parks are expected to remain closed for at least the balance of the week. The West Fernie Dike is holding stable and drainage has returned to normal. The District of Elkford is maintaining the State of Local Emergen-
cy declared June 20, 2013. The Evacuation Alert remains in place. Residents are asked to stay away from the Elk River and Boivin Creek. Continued debris management will be conducted in Boivin Creek to ensure public safety; therefore, the Peace Park is closed until further notice. The dike/trail system along the Elk River was damaged during the flood.
Dike assessments are being conducted with repair work to commence shortly. Residents are asked to stay away from this area, as portions of the dike/trail are missing, and many spots have been impacted by undercutting. Sparwood city staff are assessing trails and parks for damage. The situation in Canal Flats remains stable and no infrastruc-
ture is currently being affected. In Dutch Creek, the declaration of a State of Local Emergency remains in place. An evacuation alert for the HooDoos Resort Campground and neighbouring residences is still in effect. Heavy equipment continues to complete rip rap reinforcement along the banks of Dutch Creek and crews are making good prog-
ress. Both Fairmont Creek and Cold Spring Creek remain within their channels though Emergency Program personnel noted higher water levels on both creeks Monday. Work continues on culvert maintenance near the Riverside golf maintenance shed due to ongoing sedimentation. Other culverts are remaining clear at this time.
East Kootenay homes can get disaster financial assistance S a l ly M ac D o n a l d Townsman Staff
East Kootenay residents who have been affected by the floods of the past week can apply for financial assistance from the B.C. government. The Regional District of East Kootenay applied for the assistance from Emergency Management B.C. and it was approved on Monday, June 24. This means that full-
time B.C. residents can submit claims for a portion of their cleanup costs related to flooding costs that are not covered by insurance. The assistance applies to residents affected by overland flooding between June 19 and 21 in every community in the East Kootenay.

Rows of sandbags are protecting homes in Wasa from rising lake levels.
Wasa on high alert as water rises Continued from page 1 Garry took a week off work to help protect the community he was born and raised in. “I’ve never seen this two years in a row,” he said. Three thousand sandbags had already been used by Tuesday morning, but the
RDEK had set up an automatic sandbagger to keep them coming throughout the day. The Regional District is also encouraging all residents around the lake to take steps now to prepare for the possibility of flooding.
“We know there were a number of homes impacted last summer when waters rose in a similar fashion. This is the time for people to move valuables, and prepare their homes and properties,” said Information Officer Loree Duczek. Area E Director Jane Walter
was opening up Wasa Community Hall as a warming centre to residents with questions about the emergency. She pointed out that some Calgary residents have second homes in Wasa, so they could be affected by floods in both locations.
New trial on the way GET PAID to RIDE YOUR SCOOTER!! for Cranbrook murder (or bike / skateboard!)
Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
The wheels of the legal system continue to turn for Cheyenne Learn, who was convicted in 2009 of second degree murder in the December 2007 shooting death of Tammy Ellis. In May, the B.C. Court of Appeal ordered a new trial for Learn, who was sentenced to life in prison with no hope of parole for 16 years. However, Appeal Court Justice Ian Donald said the trial judge
misdirected jurors before their verdict. On Tuesday, June 25, lawyers for the Crown and Learn’s defense appeared briefly in Cranbrook Supreme Court, saying they are not yet ready to set a date for a new trial. Learn was not present in person or via video for the brief matter, which was set over for August 19. In the appeal, Learn’s defense held that the trial judge made a mistake when he talked to the jury about the nec-
essary intent required to convict someone of murder. Cheyenne Manuel Learn, 53, was convicted in the fatal shooting of Tammy Ellis, a friend of his former girlfriend, at Ellis’s home in December 2007. With files from the Vancouver Sun

Council opens doors for family fun park Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
M o n d a y ’ s five-member city council voted to allow a parcel of industrial-zoned land to be rezoned for amusement park use in a four-toone vote. Resident Chris Hirn plans to build a family fun park with go-karts, bumper boats, mini golf and 3D simulators
on the property located on Industrial Road 2. While nobody came forward during the public hearing, there were two letters of concern from citizens. “I do appreciate the comment about using industrial land for this type of use since we have talked about the limitations of that,” Coun. Bob Whetham said. “At the same time,
I couldn’t think of another zone or location which could accommodate a use of this type.” Whetham said from that point of view he supports the application. “The other (letter) made reference to noise,” he said. “I am familiar with another facility in the upper Columbia Valley which
has been there for 18 years or more.” Whetham said that facility includes a gokart track and bumper boats, and despite being near a residential area, he said noise was never an issue. He said, given that the Cranbrook location is separated by a road and the old mill site, it is a reasonable request. Coun. Gerry Warner
spoke to the letters as well from tenants of businesses in the area, which said it was not appropriate for an industrial park. “When this thing was first brought up, I thought a bit about it myself. I mean this is a tourist-type thing,” Warner said, comparing it to the water slides that used to be at the southern entrance of
town. “They were right in sight of Highway 3 or Van Horne coming through town. Tourists would see it on a hot day and they would stop and use it.” On the other hand, Warner said, the family fun park would be off in the industrial park, out of sight of tourists driving by. He worried that council was in too big a hurry to approve the rezoning. “Don’t misunderstand me, I’d love to see an amusement facility in town, especially for the kids and stuff, I’d love to see new business in town, but it ain’t for us to rush and approve something like this and then it turns out to be not the best kind of facility. I sit
here at this table and I represent the public and I wonder if we’re not rushing into this thing without considering every aspect of it.” Coun. Sharon Cross noted that Moir Park was nearby and is also in an industrial zone. Cross said the noise levels have also been addressed in letters from Hirn. Coun. Denise Pallesen, acting mayor, asked about the difficulty of reverting it back into an M-2 Light Industrial Zone if the family fun park doesn’t go through as planned. Staff answered that it would just be a matter of going through the process again to revert it back. Council adopted the zoning amendment.
Cougar encounter: When all else fails, use your chainsaw C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin
If you see a wildfire call *5555 on your cell. Nearly half of all wildfires are preventable. Please, be responsible in our forests.
When in cougar trouble, there’s always a chain saw. At least that’s what Kimberley city councillor and outdoors enthusiast Darryl Oakley found out this past weekend. Oakley was volunteering for the Round the Mountain race, doing a sweep of the track before the race early Saturday morning. With all the rain, Oakley was out making sure that no trees were blocking the track for runners and cyclists who would come through later in the day. He says he was around the back side of the mountain when he encountered what he said was a “large cougar”. Oakley says it came out of the bush and, rather than running
away when it spotted him and his dog, the cougar stopped to look at them — a showdown of sorts. “He wasn’t backing down, just looking at my dog, looking at me.” Oakley tried bear spray and a wildlife whistle. No luck. Luckily, he had the chain saw he was using to clear brush. He fired it up and that finally got the big cat’s attention. “I talked to the CO after and he said the cougar was probably hunting at that time of day and there was likely a kill around. The CO said that cougars don’t defend kills like a bear would, or not for as long. They will leave it. I think that’s what the cougar did when he heard the chainsaw.” All part of life in the Kootenays, Oakley said.

Stampede a go-ahead, apparently Continued from page 1 McGibbon said the Saddledome is similar to Western Financial Place in Cranbrook, as it’s built in a hole. “Under all the seats in the bleachers, that’s where all the rooms are — dressing rooms, change rooms, offices, showers, security,” he said. “They were full (with water) right above the ceiling there. That’s where all the electronics were, the electrics and everything else. We’re wondering how they’re going to get that working out and inspected.” Up until last year there was also a big tent on the opposite end of the barns from where the Saddledome is, known as the Big Top. “For years we showed in there,” McGibbon said. “But now they tore that down because they are building a new facility where it was and the new facility will not be ready until next year. So push come to shove we could have went back to the Big Top, but

Throne speech sets the stage for summer session To m F l e tc h e r Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature resumes with a brief throne speech on Wednesday and an updated budget Thursday that will be the focus of opposition critics in a month-long summer session. NDP house leader John Horgan said the government’s plan is to push a “bogus” budget through “while people are at the beach,” and then continue the B.C. Liberal tradition of skipping scheduled fall sessions in October and November. Horgan said the government’s target to limit health care spending growth to less than one per cent hasn’t been achieved since former premier Bill Bennett’s restraint program in the early
1980s. “At some point the reality has to hit the road, and this is why, I believe, they have jammed us in here in July, rather than having a more thoughtful session starting in September, when their [spending authority] runs out,” Horgan said. Finance Minister and B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong hasn’t ruled out a fall sitting of the legislature. He promised “no surprises” during the rare summer sitting, which the government intends to wrap up by July 25. De Jong said he will update resource revenues that have changed since the current budget was introduced in February, and independent economic forecasts that have downgraded projec-
tions for B.C. economic growth since then. The government plans no new legislation in the summer session, or reintroduction of provisions for an election for B.C. senators and other bills that were left unpassed when the legislature adjourned for the May election. After a series of deficits since 2009, the February budget projected a surplus of $197 million for the fiscal year ending in March 2014. That is to be reached with an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 10 to 11 per cent, a temporary 2.1 per cent increase in personal income tax above $150,000 a year, and a $2 per carton increase in tobacco taxes effective in October.

ous dealers in fine chocolate are always going on about, the high cost of getting the valuable commodity to you. Given that gas and diesel are so expensive, you understand. I braced myself, for surely before I left the Island, I would need to purchase more chocolate. Instead I was somewhat vexed to find that chocolate was almost eight cents a bar cheaper on Vancouver Island. But it’s an island, I said to myself. How can an island acquire chocolate more cheaply than a mountain town that sits so close to the famed chocolate refineries of northern Alberta? Alas, there are no answers. Chocolate is an essential commodity. One cannot run without it. So therefore, one pays what one must. I was in fact bracing myself for the chocolate price hike that will surely come this week as suppliers suddenly realize that there will be great demand for chocolate over the long weekend and prepare to take advantage of it. But thanks to the Competition Bureau of Canada, I feel confident I will not be subjected to a price hike in advance of the Canada Day long weekend. Chocolate prices should remain stable. Thanks, Competition Bureau. You are truly a heroic organization.

Routine preseason for Ice as WHL releases schedule The WHL has released it’s preseason schedule and things are pretty routine for the Kootenay Ice. The club will attend a tournament in Tri-City featuring teams in the U.S. Division. Kootenay will play in three games against the Americans, Spokane Chiefs and Everett Silvertips on the weekend spanning from Sept. 5-7 1013.

Four tournaments are featured around the WHL in Tri-City, Everett, Edmonton and the Crowsnest Pass. The exhibition season features 59 games, and Kootenay will suit up for five contests. The WHL will release the full regular season schedule on Wednesday. Trevor Crawley
Anchorage exploring a bid for 2026 Winter Olympics ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The city of Anchorage has formed an exploratory committee to help determine whether it should bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics. The 23-member committee, which includes four Alaska Olympians, held its organizational meeting on Tuesday. Anchorage was the United States Olympics Committee choice for the 1992 and 1994 games that went to Albertville, France, and Lillehammer, Norway. Mayor Dan Sullivan says Anchorage was well suited to host games then, and is in even a stronger position now. Associated Press
James hopes to keep on playing with Bosh, Wade MIAMI - LeBron James says he is not thinking about the possibility of becoming a free agent in 2014 yet, though he does think that the opportunity to compete for several more championships with the Miami Heat is “the ultimate.” James can opt out of his contract next summer, as can Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. There’s still a second straight NBA title to defend this coming season, along with a chance at making the Heat just the fourth franchise to win three consecutive championships. He also has a wedding looming this summer to his longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson. Associated Press
Flyers buy out Bryzgalov, after doing the same to Briere PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Flyers are parting ways with goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov. Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren confirmed in a statement that the team will use its second compliance buyout on the mercurial netminder. Bryzgalov still had seven years on a nine-year, US$51-million contract that came with a cap hit of $5,666,667 per season. His time in Philadelphia was characterized by inconsistent play, a perceived lack of competitiveness and clashes with the media. In 425 career games with Anaheim, Phoenix and Philadelphia, Bryzgalov is 208-149-45 with 30 shutouts, a 2.55 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage. Canadian Press

THE BRONZE AGE: The Novice Outlaws lacrosse team captured a bronze medal at the Southern Alberta Lacrosse Association playoffs in Medicine Hat.

Tortorella takes over Canucks MONTE STE WART Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - John Tortorella was surprised the subject did not come up in the first question, but he didn’t get angry or yell. Yes, the new Vancouver Canucks coach acknowledged Tuesday, his reputation needs some restructuring, and he vowed to improve it as he attempts to give the city a long-sought Stanley Cup.
“This is the mess I put myself into, and this is the mess I’m going to get myself out off.” John Tortorella “This is the mess I put myself into, and this is the mess I’m going to get myself out of,” he said during a news conference. The Canucks named the fiery Tortorella as their replacement for Alain Vigneault, the winningest coach in franchise history.
Known for being abrasive, Tortorella is perceived as a bench boss who can lose his temper quickly, sometimes blasts players in public, and has little time for questions from reporters. Vigneault was known more as a cerebral coach who laughed on many occasions and had a rapport with the media. But Tortorella, dressed in a dark suit and tie and smiling at times, turned on the charm at a news conference, even thanking a reporter for her question. It was all part of Tortorella’s effort to let people get to know him better and deal with the media more effectively. “I know how important that part of the job is here,” Tortorella said. “When you lose your job, you crawl into a hole a little bit, you reassess yourself, you try to learn, and I have certainly gone through that process. “Have I made mistakes? Absolutely. I make my own bed in this type of situation with the perception of
myself in the media. But I know how important it is with this job here, especially in this city and this province.” He is also known for battling verbally on occasion with players. But Tortorella, who has 24 years of coaching experience and won a Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004, still vowed to be demanding of his charges and hold everyone - including scoring stars Henrik and Daniel
Sedin - accountable. “We have a really good leadership group ... but we have not won the Stanley Cup,” he said. “There’s going to be more asked of (the players), and that starts from the twins right on down.” Tortorella, a 55-yearold Boston native, has reached the playoffs on eight occasions and won the Jack Adams Award as NHL coach of the year in 2004. He was let go four days after the
Rangers’ season ended with a second-round loss to the Boston Bruins. An assistant with the Rangers in the 19992000 season, he took over for John Muckler as head coach for the final four games. Tortorella later spent seven seasons as head coach of the Lightning with whom he won the Stanley Cup before taking over as head coach of the Rangers in February 2009.
Mount Baker looking for coaches TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The athletic department at Mount Baker Secondary School is looking for some coaches to lead a few athletic teams when the next school year begins in September. The most pressing need is the opening for a football coach, as current head coach Steve Lightfoot is stepping away. Without a head coach, the program is in danger of folding, according to athletic director Dan
Loewen. Any interested candidates should have some playing and coaching experience at the high school level, with the knowledge to teach the fundamentals of the game. The team practices every day of the week
and plays 10 games in the Interior AA league—six on the road and four at home. In addition to the football program, Mount Baker is also looking for coaches for both the boys and girls junior volleyball teams. Applicants should be able to teach fundamentals and integrate skills in to system play. Anyone interested in either coaching positions can contact Loewen at 250-4265241 ext. 646.

Core in place, Blackhawks think they can make another Stanley Cup run Jay Cohen Associated Press
CHICAGO - When Rocky Wirtz took over the Chicago Blackhawks six years ago, they were among the worst teams in the NHL. Fast forward to Tuesday, when the owner mingled with fans and friends hours after the Blackhawks flew home with the Stanley Cup for the second time in four seasons. It’s been quite the turnaround, and the 60-year-old Wirtz thinks there is more to come. “I think we’re going to see a lot of good years ahead of us,” he said. It sure looks that way. Unlike in 2010, when the title-winning team underwent changes because of salary-cap issues, the Blackhawks will be able to bring back many of their top players next season when they try to become the first repeat Stanley Cup winner since the Detroit Red Wings in 1998. Forwards Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Pat-
rick Sharp, and defencemen Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook are all under contract for at least two more seasons. Brandon Saad, one of the finalists for the Calder Trophy given to the NHL’s top rookie, is years away from restricted free agency. “I think there’s something about our core,” said Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the playoffs. “Hopefully we can stay together a long time, because that’s two Cups in four years, and we seem to only be getting better and better as players as time goes on here.” The Blackhawks lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of the previous two seasons, but general manager Stan Bowman decided to stay the course. He kept Joel Quenneville in place even though the coach was hired by his predecessor, Dale Tallon. Corey Crawford was given time to develop in goal, and he rewarded the organization’s patience
Sports
with a terrific performance in this year’s playoffs. Kane matured into one of the NHL’s top players. Ask Wirtz and team president John McDonough about the Blackhawks’ turnaround, and their response often includes some variation of hire the right people and then stay out of the way. The steady leadership in the front office is one of the reasons Chicago is the first franchise with two titles since the NHL instituted a salary cap in 2005. “I think Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac and Norm Maciver and everybody in our hockey operations, they do a meticulous job,” McDonough said, “and they’ve been planning for this off-season as we did before for months and months, so we’ll be ready for it. “We’re going to do everything we can and try to keep as many of these guys as we can and just keep this rolling.”
Canadians continue to rally on the court at Wimbledon C anadian Press
LONDON - Milos Raonic capped an impressive start by Canadian players at Wimbledon with a straight-sets victory over Argentina’s Carlos Berlocq on Tuesday at the All-England Club. Raonic, the No. 17 seed from Thornhill, Ont., needed less than two hours to complete the 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 win to become the fourth Canadian to reach the second round at the Grand Slam event this week. It has been 25 years since four Canadians won first-round singles matches at the same major. Sebastien Lareau, Daniel Nestor, Sonya Jeyaseelan and Jana Nejedly last accomplished the feat at the Australian Open in 1988. Raonic, who has struggled of late to get his grass-court game in form, said he was happy with the way he played Tuesday. “My game feels a lot better than last week,” Raonic said. “We worked on a lot of things. Also, this is a grand slam and you bite down harder.” The 22-year-old had 19 aces and just 18 unforced errors in the match. “I kept the pressure on (Berlocq) the whole time,” Raonic said. “I’m feeling much more comfortable on grass. I’ve had moments in the past when I doubted myself, but I’m playing with more peace and confidence.” Raonic’s next opponent will be Igor

Sijsling of the Netherlands, who beat American Alex Kuznetsov 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. Ottawa’s Jesse Levine also won his opening match Tuesday, a day after Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil and Montreal’s Eugenie Bouchard posted victories. Levine defeated Guido Pella of Argentina 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 3-6, 4-3. Pella had to be helped off the court midway through the fifth set with an apparent hamstring injury. The match lasted nearly three hours as the 112th-ranked Levine advanced to the second round for the second straight year. Pella appeared to slip on the grass and received medical treatment while lying on the baseline. He shook Levine’s hand before being taken away on a stretcher. Levine said he was able to refocus after dropping the third and fourth sets. “My energy went down and I got away from my game plan,” Levine said. “I wasn’t hurting him any more with my shots. He is good on clay and slow surfaces so I wanted to force him to speed up. “In the first and second sets I took it to him, I didn’t want to get into a long battle. I finally got back to doing what I had been doing. I’m glad to be into the second round.”

There are few times in one’s life where so much seems possible, and with an education those possibilities are real. A solid public education is one of the greatest gifts society can provide to our children. With knowledge comes independence and opportunity. Without education, life is much more difficult. As you finish this level of schooling, I hope that you will become advocates for a quality, accessible public education system.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Communicate with a family member rather than stand on ceremony with this person. Pressure builds to an unprecedented level if you ignore a domestic matter.

These extra tasks actually are a reward for being very present in a situation and making good decisions. Understand that there are limits to your energy. Save time for yourself, too. Tonight: Try being a bit lazy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your sensitivity and ability to observe will merge. You might not want to spill the beans, and that would be a wise decision. A new friend would like some extra attention. Be careful with relationships like this, as others are more on edge than normal. Tonight: Go with the moment.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: We live in a quiet family neighborhood. Recently, a neighbor tried to locate the owner of a rental home next door in order to discuss a shared fence issue. When our neighbor could find no contact information through the city department of housing, he searched the Internet. He was shocked to discover that for the past 10 years, the owners have had a porn site registered at that rental home address. None of us wants a porn site associated with our neighborhood. How should we handle this? -- No Name or Location, Please Dear No Name: While we certainly understand your moral objections, these owners seem to be running a legal operation. Most web-based or home-based businesses are fine unless there are customers or employees coming to the house. There may be a requirement to have a business license, but that’s about it. You can contact a lawyer in your city to find out whether there are other possibilities, but we suspect there is nothing you can do, legally, about this. Sorry. Dear Annie: I share a small workspace with someone who constantly coughs, sneezes, clears her throat, blows her nose and grunts. Worse, she never covers her mouth, so I am surrounded by airborne germs all day. It’s extremely annoying and interferes with my ability to concentrate on my work. I know some of this is allergies, but she also doesn’t stay home when she is sick. I have offered cough drops and antihistamines, which she has refused. I suffer from allergies, as well, but try to keep my symptoms to myself. I have talked to my boss, but she won’t deal with it. Other co-workers are unwilling to switch desks with me (understandably). I used to like going to work, but I am ready to hand in my notice. What do you suggest? -- Had It with the Hacking Dear Had It: First be more direct with this co-worker, explaining your discomfort and asking her to please cover her nose and mouth. If that doesn’t help, can you complain to the human resources department or a higher-up? Is it possible to move your desk? Would you be willing to wear a surgical mask or filter? Allergies can’t always be helped, but people should be considerate of one another. Dear Annie: I read your advice to “Nervous in Vermont” with much interest, being the parent of a transgender child myself. Even if an initial conversation may have seemed encouraging, it can be dangerous for trans kids to come out to their parents. Half of all homeless kids are LGBT, some as young as 12, and were kicked out of their parents’ home after coming out to their families. And a staggering number of trans kids end up committing suicide if met with scorn, shame or parental refusal to accept or discuss the subject. Coming out must be done eventually, but unless the child is nearing 18 or has contingency plans, one must take into consideration the things that can go wrong. I’d like to offer a couple of parental resources for such situations: Trans Youth Family Allies (imatyfa.org) is a wonderful group of parents of trans kids that includes a support email list, as well as organized trainings for schools and other organizations. Gender Spectrum (genderspectrum. org) holds a yearly Gender Spectrum Family conference in Oakland, Calif., as well as a trans-masculine oriented Gender Spectrum conference in Seattle, Wash. These two groups can be of incredible assistance to parents after their kids have come out. We’ve found that going through the process of accepting our kids is not dissimilar to the grieving process. What is lost is not the person (thank goodness), but our hopes, dreams and plans for our child. We fear for them and their future. But we support each other and learn to move on, create new dreams and celebrate our children’s true identities. -- Sara Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Brownies gather in front of the Savannah House at the Calgary Zoo.
Brownies in the heart of the savannah The 2nd and 5th Cranbrook Brownies recently spent the night in deepest Africa. Fifty girls, guiders and mothers visited the Calgary Zoo for an overnight stay, at the Savannah enclosure, Friday, June 7, fortunately before the recent flooding. There were hippos, meerkats, red river hogs, a whole variety of snakes and giraffes, and one lone peacock, all who contributed to a noisy but exciting night for the girls. Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers are always having excellent adventures. If you’re interested in learning more, if your daughter wants to join, or you would like more information on becoming a leader, visit the website www.girlguides.ca, or call the Cranbrook Guide Hall at 250-426-2062. Check out the Cranbrook Girl Guides on Facebook. Photos by Lyndell Classon.
One of the hosts for the evening.

Obituaries Obituary Josie Wittenborn March 18, 1930 - June 17, 2013 It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of our Mother and Oma in Calgary at the age of 83. Mom was predeceased by her parents, brother and only son Aurthur. She is survived by her 2 daughters Monika (Scott) and Linda, plus 6 grandchildren; Shannon, Brandon, Brianna, Brittany, Marissa and Janessa. She immigrated to Canada in 1957 and spent the last 26 years in Calgary, 14½ of them in a nursing home. She so struggled with illness over the years, and although we are very sad we are also relieved her suffering has ended. Rest in peace, Mama, we love you. A Service was held in Calgary, Thursday, June 20th, 2013.

Obituaries Gordon Elwood Docking Born: October 28, 1923 in Dauphin, Manitoba Passed Away: March 31, 2013 in Kimberley, BC Age: 89 â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was such a fine manâ&#x20AC;?, were sentiments echoed at his passing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was always so much fun and laughter in their homeâ&#x20AC;?. When you think of Gordon, you think of how important his family was to him, canoeing in the cedar strip canoe he built, the walks enjoying nature, of him carving diamond willow canes, gardening, and the second love of his life, his yellow lab Brandy. During WWII, Gordon was in the 3rd division, Infantry Reconnaise, Canadian17th Royal Duke of York Hussars.  Returning from war, he married the love of his life Lois on Sept.13, 1947 and raised a family of three. Gordon worked for the Department of Transport for numerous years. From working for DOT in The Pas, Manitoba, the family moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where he was Asst. Airport Manager, then back to The Pas, where he was Airport Manager. In 1965 the family moved to BC. where he was the Assistant Manager of Vancouver International Airport. Gordon also worked for Gulf Oil as a salesman. He was the top salesman in Canada for eight years running. In 1987, he and Lois retired in Cranbrook. Gordon was predeceased by his loving wife Lois on September 4, 2011 and his grandson Daniel Holland on April 17, 2010. Lovingly left remembering their dad, grandpa and greatgrandpa are his son Tom (Betsy), their family Rod, Annie, Samantha (Trevor) and Christie; his daughter Kathy (Tom), their family Jennifer (Jeff), their son Alex and Heather (Shane) their son Eli; and his daughter Lori (Sean), their family Keegan and Cooper.

Irene Dunwoody Irene Dunwoody passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 22, 2013 at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook. She had been a resident at Joseph Creek Village for the past year. Irene was predeceased by her loving husband William Dunwoody who passed away August, 2011. They had been married for 64 years. Irene was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on December 25, 1926 to Caswell and Mary Phillips and spent all her years of schooling in Winnipeg. Upon graduation, she worked as a Dental Assistant until she married Bill on September 9, 1947 and moved to Vancouver, BC. Prior to the children arriving, Irene worked for a medical clinic. She moved to Cranbrook in 1968 with her husband to work in a new business venture. In 1982, Irene and her husband moved to Grande Prairie, AB after buying-out a much bigger operation similar to their Cranbrook business. They sold their business in 1990 and retired back to Cranbrook. Irene was an active member of St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church as an Eucharist Minister and a member of the Catholic Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League (CWL). She was also an active member of the ACT/ UCT, Cranbrook Ladies Golf Club, Mission Hills Golf Club, serving in an executive position for many years. She was also an active member of the Cancer Society participating in meetings, visitation to cancer patients at the hospital, running/walking in relays raising funds for friends. She also started a volunteer group to visit and work at the hospital with chemo patients. Irene was devoted to her volunteer work. Another passion of Ireneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was the love of her garden and flowers, giving her great pleasure. She loved the outdoors spending many years of camping, fishing, water skiing, golfing, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing and curling. Irene loved to travel and spent many winters in Arizona upon retirement. Irene was a devoted wife and mother. She leaves to cherish her memory: daughter Nancy (Wilf) Richter of Calgary, son Douglas (predeceased June 23, 2008), daughter-in-law Jane Dunwoody of Calgary, son John (Sue-Ann) Dunwoody of Melbourne, Australia, six grandchildren, Tanys (Luigi) Betuzzi of Calgary, Mark Richter of Calgary, Erica and Jennifer Dunwoody of Calgary, Taylor and Kiera Dunwoody of Melbourne, Australia, her sister Neata McAllister of Murrieta, California, as well as many nieces and nephews through out Canada. Irene was predeceased by her parents, her sister Merle and her two brothers Eldon and Ivan. A Funeral Mass for Irene will be held at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church in Cranbrook, on June 29, 2013 at 12:00 pm, with a reception following the service. Her Interment will then follow in Fort Steele Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Canadian Cancer Society, 19 - 9th Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 2L9.

Round The Mountain
This year the biggest trekking, hiking, running, walking and biking race competition in Kimberley had a record breaking number of registrations. 450 people participated in the event, ranging from children to seniors, challenging themselves and encouraging their fellow athletes. As well, participants came from all over the East Kootenay to Kimberley to challenge the North Star Mountain Trail.
KAITY BROWN PHOTOS
Kimberley’s Frank Ackermann came in first place for the 20K race at this year’s Round the Mountain.
Family and friends of the athletes were there to cheer them on after they crossed the finish line and accomplished their personal goals.
Winter Knudsgaard from Kimberley came in first place in the Round the Mountain Kiddie Extreme one kilometre run and bike.
The Round the Mountain featured a number of events for kids of all ages, even toddlers, for running and biking around their very own trail. The kids demonstrated excellent performances in the races.
Photo Contributed
Competition was tough between the three on-course aid stations to be the “Best Aid Station in North America”. Here we have Aid Station #1 with their interpretation of a M*A*S*H unit. Pictured, left to right: Mike Dutoit; Janet Pearson; Rob McInnis; Cora Miller.
The kids had a blast with face-painting and prizes for everyone who crossed the finish line.
