Koocanusa hosts flooded out FozzyFest

Organizers make lemonade out of lemons by moving festival from flooded Kananaskis to Grasmere, three days before it started SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Koocanusa played host to a 1,000-person strong music festival on the Canada Day long weekend.

FozzyFest, a three-

day-long electronic music festival, was held at Big Springs campground at Tobacco Plains Indian Band from June 28 to July 1.

It was a last-minute scramble to host the

event at Koocanusa. In its ninth year, FozzyFest — named with the nickname of one of the key organizers, Shawn Lafleur — has always been held beside a river on Crown land in Kanan-

askis country, Alberta.

But everything fell apart for organizers one week before the event when flooding hit southeast B.C. and southern Alberta.

“We thought it

wouldn’t be a big deal, that the roads would open up. The river might move a little bit, but we thought everything would be fine,” said managing director Darryl Stanat.

But five days before the event was set to begin, they realized there was no way they could reach the location.

“It became apparent after trying to get down there several times from

all different angles that the whole area was shut down. Every road in there was washed out – literally, gone. It was just a big gap in the road.

Marijuana activist brings campaign to Cranbrook Dana Larsen’s Sensible BC campaign recruiting canvassers for B.C.-wide petition

BARRY COULTER

An activist pushing for the decriminalization of marijuana in British Columbia has received permission from Elections B.C. To launch a province-wide petition.

On Thursday, July 11, Dana Larsen got the go-ahead to use

the province’s unique initiative legislation to propose a law that would decriminalize pot by preventing police from enforcing simple possession laws. Larsen and his Sensible BC campaign two months to sign up canvassers and prepare to start collecting signa-

tures on Sept. 9.

Larsen has immediately started touring the province to get a team in place, and was in Cranbrook Thursday evening, where he took some time to speak to the Daily Townsman.

“This is definitely an issue whose time has come,” Larsen

said. “But it is very challenging to get all the signatures we need to get on the ballot.

We’ve been working on this for several months now, in terms of building support, getting awareness out there.”

See PETITION , Page 4

Mosquito season is upon us in many places and right around the corner in others, so it’s a good time to find out what Cranbrook is doing in preparation.

The municipality contracts out the job to Morrow BioScience Ltd, a company out of North Vancouver that specializes in mosquito control. Locally, Kendra Lewis is area co-ordinator and technician of the Cranbrook leg of the program.

Lewis said around this time, the biggest thing residents can do to reduce mosquito activity, is clean up yards and gutters. The downpours of late provide the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitos.

Lewis said things like wheelbarrows, water barrels, water dishes that pets aren’t using

and ponds that don’t have fish in them are prime places for mosquitos to proliferate.

“Anything that holds water, that’s what people should be looking at in their own yards,” Lewis said, adding that all of the big sites around Cranbrook have been treated a few times now.

“Our sites are clear, it’s just stuff within the city that we need people to work on right now,” she said. “It’s definitely been a bad mosquito year, but we’ve kept on top of it, that’s for sure.”

Lewis said she has killed a lot of larvae already this season, and attributes the high numbers to last year’s high water as well. She noted a lot of egg-laying went on and all of her permanent sites, sometimes seeing 200 larvae per sample dip.

Wild West Wednesday Dinner in the Kootenay’s will never be the same when it involves a train heist!

Help protect the good folks at Fort Steele Heritage Town from bandits who threaten the peace and tranquility of an evening train ride. Call on the Mountie in his red serge to save the day!

Wild West Wednesday events ride again this summer and you don’t want to miss it.

Enjoy a casual home style buffet dinner at the International Hotel, where the action begins, and before you know it you are fully involved in a straight-shooting, mystery-building, farce that finishes in a flourish during an evening excursion on Fort Steele’s own steam train! This all inclusive package is being offered on Wednesday nights July 24, August 7, and 21 only, so you don’t want to miss out!

The International Hotel houses Fort Steele’s main, family style restaurant. Dinner

for this event will be casual cowboy fare, buffet style. The International Hotel is a reconstruction of the original International Hotel that was built on the same site during Fort Steele’s boom of 1897. Interior decorations represent similar hotel décor from the era. Enjoy good home style cooking with a heritage ambience.

Today, Fort Steele has revived the railway history of the region with its established steam train excursions.

The railway bypassed Fort Steele in 1898 and went through Cranbrook signalling Fort Steele’s decline.

By 1912, a CPR line was built in the area but it was too late to save the town. Fort Steele Heritage Town is pleased to offer train rides, with locomotive 1077, as part of its heritage experience. Rides are offered daily through July and August only.

When was the last time you had a night out on the town — at Fort Steele Heritage Town, that is? Well, join the good folks in town this summer for Saturday

“We made a concerted effort to find services locally, and we were able to do that in two days, which is remarkable,” said Stanat.

Petition campaign recruiting canvassers Continued from page 1

We’ve got a lot of people who are very excited about this and want to make a difference, and we’ll just have to see if we can get over the top and get the 400,000-odd signatures that we need,” Larsen said.

To succeed, Larsen must collect the signatures of 10 per cent of registered voters in each of the province’s 85 ridings by November. That would either force a vote in the legislature or a provincewide, non-binding referendum.

“It’s a very difficult challenge,” Larsen said.

“We only have 90 days to

collect those signatures, and we start that clock on September 9. So between now and then our main focus is to pre-register canvassers, so that we have a lot of canvassers in place to collect those signatures when the time comes.”

B.C.’s initiative legislation, which was successfully used to kill the province’s harmonized sales tax two years ago, allows any voter to bring forward proposed legislation in the form of a petition.

Larsen is expecting a broad cross-section of society to support this one.

“A lot of our volun-

with the water fluctuating like it has been, they have done multiple treatments.

Mosquitoes go through four stages of development: egg, larvae, pupa and adult.

When eggs come into contact with water during the spring and summer months, they hatch into larvae. The larvae feed on plant material and develop into pupae, which later become adult mosquitoes. After mating, female mosquitoes search for blood to complete the egg development stage. Morrow BioScience Ltd. directs efforts at the larvae stage.

To kill they use a product called Aquabac 200G, a granular mosquito larvicide. It contains a naturally occurring bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) which targets the larvae, but doesn’t harm birds, mammals, amphibians or other insects. The larvicide can be applied by hand, blower or helicopter.

The city also encouraged home and property owners curb mosquito development by removing sources of standing water from around the home. Some suggestions: • Clogged gutters; • Flower pot trays; • Outside pet dishes; • Kids’ pools, toys; • Bird baths, feeders; • Canoes/boats, tires

teers don’t use marijuana, they’re people who just care about this issue,” he said. “They may not happen to use it themselves. We do have a challenge — some people feel stigmatized, and are afraid to come out — they might lose their job or have issues if they support this cause, which is really unfortunate for a political cause to have some of that stigma attached to it.

“There are a lot of British Columbians who are excited about this,” Larsen continued.

“We’ve got several thousand people who say they want to volunteer.

We’ve got a broad base of widespread support.

Our polling shows that even a majority of Conservative Party voters in British Columbia support the provisions of our legislation, so our challenge is really an organizational one.”

Larsen agrees that recent events in the United States have fuelled the current conversation in Canada.

“The votes to legalize in Washington and Colorado through a very similar ballot initiative, a referendum process, is very inspiring to us,” he said. “Seventeen other American states have legalized medical marijuana in the same way, through public referendums, and although this issue has broad support in B.C., our political leaders don’t seem willing to tackle it. That’s what the referendum system is for. We do have broad support for this.

So we’ll just have to see how it unfolds.”

Larsen’s current tour, including the stop in Cranbrook, is just to get the volunteers and mechanics of the initiative in place.

East Kootenay forest service roads in dire state, MLA says C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

After the torrential rains at the end of June, many backcountry forest service roads are in very poor condition, with bridge washouts, landslides and erosion.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations put out a warning on July 11 — Backcountry travel limited at this time due to extensive road damages. Many locations have not been inspected for damage and may be unsafe.

Take extreme caution when using damaged areas.

Don’t expect much of the damage to be repaired any time soon says Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald.

He says that the rains in June have simply exacerbated an ongoing problem of lack of main-

tenance on the province’s forest service roads.

Damage to these roads in the East Kootenay alone is estimated to run at about $5.5 million, Macdonald said, and the money is not there to fix them.

“There has been an ongoing decline in maintenance of these roads,” Macdonald said.

“It’s an ongoing problem. With this storm, we have roads washed out and, in some cases, forestry equipment trapped at the end of them.

“So $5.5 million worth of work needs to be done and the government is saying the Provincial Emergency Program will handle it.”

Macdonald says PEP funding will likely not come through until September or October, so many forestry companies are repairing the

“We would save $10.5 million a year to begin with, just if we stopped arresting people and charging them for marijuana possession. And then further, we could easily bring in several hundred million dollars a year through some kind of a legally regulated and taxed system.”

Dana Larsen had about about 6,000 registered canvassers.

We figure we’re going to need somewhere in the same amount to really get this thing going. So we’re inviting people to fill out the form, get reg-

istered as a canvasser now, so when September 9 comes you got the big army built and can really hit the ground running and make this thing a success.”

Changes to provincial and federal marijuana laws would be a economic boon, Larsen says.

“We would save $10.5 million a year to begin with, just if we stopped arresting people and charging them for marijuana possession. And then further, we could easily bring in several hundred million dollars a year through some kind of a legally regulated and taxed marijuana system. Our initiative is to decriminalize possession. That’s something the province can do, but we’re also calling on the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition so that B.C. can imple-

ment some kind of a regulation system — something similar to what we have now for alcohol and tobacco.”

If a petition collects enough valid signatures, it is then sent to a legislative committee — which, in this case, would be dominated by the governing Liberal party.

The committee can either send the petition directly to the legislature for consideration or ask Elections BC to hold a provincewide referendum, which would require both a majority of voters across the province to approve the proposal, as well as majorities in two-thirds of the province’s ridings.

Larsen said anyone who wants to help out and become a canvasser, or who is looking for more information should visit the website at sensiblebc.ca.

Getting the communities outside

Kimberley is one of six cities to be chosen for GET OUTSIDE BC. Five local youth are going to Squamish for a five-day trip full of workshops to learn about how to encourage others to stay fit in their community .

Kaity Brown Townsman Staff

F

ive Kimberley students have earned the opportunity to go to Squamish to a program that teaches them the importance of staying fit and how to be leaders in their community, and encouraging their peers and others in the community to do the same.

The cities chosen for the collaborative youth leadership workshop were Victoria, Vancouver,

Hope, Kelowna, Prince George and Kimberley.

The programs goals are to empowering youth to become leaders in their community to encourage others and in the process make them even stronger outdoor-enthusiasts than they already are.

The trip to Squamish will connect our Kimberley kids to other passionate youth in the other five cities, giving them the tools they need so that when they get back they can work on collaborative

events, plus their own events, to inspire Kimberley to get outside again.

The youth summit goes from Saturday, July 13, to Wednesday, July 17. Participants will meet new friends, hone their leadership and organizational skills and learn to become even more passionate about the beautiful backyard that is Kimberley.

Lori Joe, the regional coordinator for this project, has been helping prepare the kids and has faith that they will come back from the

trip with even more passion than they have already.

“I think they will get a better sense of how to create a program and how to recruit people and take ownership of it.”

Rob MacDonald, from B.C. Parks, has gotten involved with the project too, passionate about doing anything he can to help out.

“I just wanted to know more about it. So I went on the website and read up on it and I was really excited about the whole program.”

MacDonald and Joe joined

forces to get the program up and running. Now they are sending the kids off to Squamish for the first phase of their adventure.

Local representatives are Michael Mitchell, Keaton Smith, Bryn Oakley, Marlo Armstrong and Gustaf Hagland. Here’s a chance to get to know them a little bit:

MARLO ARMSTRONG

BRYN OAKLEY

GUSTAF HAGLAND Do you think people in your generation are fairly active and involved in the outdoors? Why or why not?

I like to think my generation is fairly balanced when it comes to outdoor activity. Most of us balance our hours spent outside with the hours we spend on the television. Although some of us choose to only stay inside on beautiful sunny days. With Get Outside BC I hope to gain the ability to help my generation get outside and to gain the skills needed to be able to keep a healthy lifestyle.

KEATON SMITH

MICHAEL MITCHELL

A lot of people are very busy and some even have jobs where they are in an office all day. How do you think busy people would be able to incorporate getting outdoors into their schedules? And why is it important to stay active even when you are busy?

What do you think about staying fit in different seasons, particularly winter vs. summer? Do you think there is much of a difference or that one is more challenging than the other?

The Get Outside BC project is about getting youth in our community outside and enjoying outdoor activities. When kids grow up learning to enjoy the outdoors they tend to continue that in their adult lives. Simple things like going for a hike in the evening or on weekends with the family cam be beneficial to everyone in the family both mentally and physically.

Staying fit should be important to everyone but winter can bring some interesting challenges, especially to a person who is trying to stay active. In Kimberley, instead of less activities, the snow opens up new opportunities such as downhill and cross country skiing just to name a couple. Your lifestyle really dictates your fitness level but if you have the right mindset, winter shouldn’t cause any problems at all.

What do you think the differences are between trying to stay fit in a small town like Kimberley and a big city?

In my opinion the differences are mainly just the terrain between a big city and a place like Kimberley, determination and drive is what keeps people in shape and I think Kimberley just has more of an abundance of people wanting to stay fit and healthy. There may be more opportunity in a place like Kimberley, but if you truly wanted to maintain your fitness in a larger city you would find a way to do it. Everyone has opportunity to stay fit, it just depends how important they think their fitness is.

What do you think are some of the challenges in trying to create outdoor activities where people of all fitness levels can participate together?

I think some on the challenges could be the way people look at themselves. They may be too embarrassed, think they wouldn’t be able to do it, or think that is too easy for them. That could be one problem and another could be doing an activity that is quite easy and simple but that might limit it to only the average people not the more fit people. There is ways around this, for example, when you create an activity you make different events and different levels of difficulties, that way everyone is incorporated. The only problem with this is could be a lot to organize and it could turn out to be a disaster if people of every fitness level don’t get an activity that fits them.

Local classical pianists performing recital in Cranbrook Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Two East Kootenay-raised pianists will return to Cranbrook next month for a one-off recital.

Emily Grieve of Cranbrook and Jesse Plessis of Sparwood met at the University of Lethbridge while pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree.

A few years after graduating, the pair of East Kootenay classical pianists will reunite for a series of concerts in B.C., including one at Cranbrook United Church on August 20 at 7 p.m.

“Emily will be playing some works by Bach and a piece by Liszt called “Un Sospiro” (“Sigh”) which is a very difficult and famous virtuoso piece,” Jesse explained.

“I’m going to play Book II of the “Preludes” by Claude Debussy – our concert is just two days from his birthday – which is a collection of 12 very stunning piano pieces which touch on many varied subjects, mostly fantastic and childhood-themes like Peter Pan, clowns, mermaids, ancient Egypt, and fireworks.

“I’m also going to to play the Op. 119 Piano Pieces by Johannes Brahms. When I was in grades 10 and 11 I studied with a teacher in Kimberley named Arne Sahlen, and he loved Brahms so much. In every lesson he was talking about Brahms so often, about how he’s the perfect mixture of intuition and craftsmanship.

In those lessons I assimilated

that love of Brahms, and the Op. 119 Piano Pieces represent one of the highest pinnacles of music for me,” said Jesse.

Since graduating from the University of Lethbridge, Emily and Jesse have gone their separate ways. Emily teaches at the Alberta College Conservatory of Music in Edmonton, and works as an accompanist.

Jesse just finished a Master of Music at Brandon University in Manitoba. He is presently studying under prominent pianists Norma Fisher at the Royal College of Music in London.

The concert is open to all; admission is by donation.

Emily Grieve of Cranbrook and Jesse Plessis of Sparwood will perform a recital at the Cranbrook United Church on August 20.

dward Snowden, a former contractor to the US Central Intelligence Agency, has been trapped in the transit lounge of Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow for the past two weeks, while the United States government strives mightily to get him back in its clutches. Last week it even arranged for the plane flying Bolivian President Eve Morales home from Moscow to be diverted to Vienna and searched, mistakenly believing that Snowden was aboard.

Former US army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning is already in the US government’s clutches. Having endured 1,100 days of solitary confinement, he is now on trial for “aiding the enemy” by passing a quarter-million US embassy messages, Afghanistan and Iraq war logs, detainee assessments from Guantanamo and videos of US attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq to the WikiLeaks website.

These two American whistle-blowers have a lot in common. They are both young idealists who had access to the inner workings of the US “security community”, and were appalled by what they learned. Their intentions were good, but their fate may be harsh. (Bradley faces life in prison without parole.) And there is one big difference between them.

Bradley, the more naive of the two, was shocked by facts that more experienced observers take for granted: that governments, including the US government, routinely lie to their citizens, their allies, and the world, and that armies at war, including the US army, sometimes commit terrible crimes.

So he published a mountain of evidence that substantiated those lamentable truths. That greatly angered the US govern-

ment, and he will probably pay a heavy price for it. The US government wants its secrets, especially the most shameful ones, to stay secret, and its extraordinary vindictiveness towards Bradley is intended to deter others from blowing the whistle.

Edward Snowden, on the other hand, has exposed something that even experienced observers did NOT take for granted: that the US government has created a massive apparatus Gwynne for discovering everybody else’s secrets. Under the Dyer cover of the “war on terror”, it has been secretly trawling the telecommunications networks of the whole world for information not just on terrorism, but on any other subject that affects its interests.

Never mind the hypocrisy of this.

(American secrets are sacred, but the United States has the right to know everybody else’s.) It’s the sheer scale and brazen arrogance of the operation that are so stunning. Exhibit A is the PRISM programme, whose very existence was a secret until Snowden spilled the beans early last month.This programme, run by the National Security Agency, began in 2007. It collects data from all nine major American internet giants – Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Google, Skype, etc. – and they are not allowed to reveal the fact that they are passing the data to the US government.

In the first instance, it’s mostly traffic analysis: who is talking to whom? But if the traffic pattern sparks the NSA’s interest (or if the US government wants to know the content of the messages for other reasons), then the spies can read the actual messages. And, as you would expect, PRISM didn’t just stay focused on “terrorism” for very long.

The NSA started using its new tools, and some older ones, to spy on foreign

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

governments and companies, including those of America’s allies. “We hack network backbones - like huge internet routers, basically - that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one,” Snowden told the South China Morning Post in late June.

US citizens resident in the United States are allegedly exempt from having their messages read without a court order (but the court is secret, too). Unless, of course, American citizens communicate with people living outside the US, in which case they are fair game.

Americans, on the whole, are remarkably untroubled by the NSA’s actions. Almost a million people work in the US security industry, and most of those jobs would disappear if Americans did not believe that “terrorism” is the greatest threat facing their country. So the industry works very hard to sell them this fiction, and most of them accept it.

Foreigner governments, by contrast, are very angry. The countries targeted by the NSA included not just obvious candidates like China and Russia, but US allies like France, Italy, Greece, Japan and South Korea.

But foreign protests will not force a shut-down of the PRISM programme. At most, it will be renamed and re-hidden.

The US government gains major advantages by knowing everybody else’s secrets, and the million people in the “security community” are a huge domestic lobby.

Manning and Snowden have done the world a service by exposing the US government’s illicit actions past and present, but Manning’s future is probably life imprisonment, Snowden’s a life in exile (if he’s lucky). No good deed goes unpunished.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

After 21 years

We’ve made the decision to downsize and live closer to family in Nelson. It won’t be easy to say good-bye to Cranbrook, which has been our home for the last 21 years. Both Chris and I have felt connected to our community through our work in the school district, involvement with the United Way, Cranbrook and District Community Foundation, Arthritis Society, Aqanttanam Housing Society, Cranbrook & District Restorative Justice Society, the Quilter’s Guild and our church community In 2008 we joined a handful of like-minded citizens who began to pay closer attention to decisions our City Council was making. We joined Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook and began learning more about Smart Growth principles and discussing what kind of city and region we collectively wanted to call home.

As we became aware of our City Council’s plans to request an expansion of our boundaries, CLC sprang into action. We canvassed our neighborhoods, informing others about the implications of this request. We got more that the required signatures to encourage our Council to hold a referendum so citizens could express ourselves. Despite some acrimonious debate, Cranbrook citizens spoke in favour of halting urban sprawl.

Since that referendum, we feel we have lived in a healthier community – a place where there is now room for more points of view to be voiced and expressed.

During the early 21st century in Cranbrook, we felt people were positioned and labeled as either for the City Council’s direction or against it. We felt if we didn’t agree with Council, we didn’t have a voice and were dismissed as one of the naysayers We believe we’re leaving a more vibrant Cranbrook today than five years ago. Divergent opinions can be expressed and explored without people being branded. There is more balance on City Council with different voices speaking and creative ideas being allowed to

emerge. We want to encourage Cranbrook to maintain this balance. We see CLC contributing to this. It hasn’t always been a smooth path and our Councillors deserve credit for the courage to express their views even if they aren’t the majority’s view.

Cranbrook is a great city. The potential is limitless. There are so many possibilities, opportunities and challenges that lay ahead. To arrive at what’s best for the city and all the citizens will require debate, divergent ideas and resolutions.

Only one agenda should not prevail.

Rather there will need to be compromise, acceptance of others’ viewpoints and decisions. Our greatest wish and hope for Cranbrook is that there is room for divergent opinions and discussion until the best decisions are arrived at and then implemented.

Thank you Cranbrook for all you’ve given us during the 21 years we’ve lived here. We’ve made life-long friends and associations that have molded our thinking and direction.

Peace, Chris and Gerry Sobie Nelson

Response to Horgan

I am responding to the July 10, 2013, op-ed ‘Hydro rate hikes, tip of the iceberg’

by John Horgan. Stable and secure power is fundamental to growing a strong economy which is why we are investing in new and existing hydro infrastructure.

While Mr. Horgan asserts there is no business case for a nation building project like the Northwest Transmission Line, a line that will bring power to a huge part of the province currently running off diesel generators, our government believes investments such as this are exactly what BC Hydro should be doing. This project will open up world class mineral deposits and support new mines, like Red Chris, one of the top 10 copper gold deposits in the world. In fact, the Mining Association of BC estimates the line could attract

more than $15 billion in mining investment, creating up to 10,000 jobs and generating $300 million in annual tax revenues. None of this happens unless we build the line to provide the power these mines need.

We need to ensure we have a diverse grid that can provide reliable power today, and into the future. That’s why we continue to support new, cleaner sources of power such as wind and run of river. Do these sources produce power at a higher cost than what our heritage assets do? Of course they do. Like most other things, it costs more today to produce power than it did decades ago. But these sources are cleaner than alternatives such as coal or gas and less expensive than building brand new hydroelectric dams.

In the nineties the NDP government made virtually no investments in Hydro infrastructure and did little to maintain BC Hydro’s assets. Their idea of a sound investment was a power plant in Pakistan.

We have taken a different approach. We are investing in projects that are powering our needs today and ensuring we will have the power we need for our future.

The unprecedented opportunity in Liquefied Natural Gas and other growing sectors such as mining must be supported with stable, secure power. This is what we are building.

You can’t make these kinds of legacy investments that will benefit all British Colombians without putting pressure on rates. Contrary to some reports, BC Hydro is managing their capital projects within their planned budget. There are a couple of projects over budget but most are under budget.

I have been very clear that my mandate, as given to me by the Premier, is to minimize rate increases while continuing to make historic investments in Hydro’s infrastructure to grow our economy. I am committed to accomplishing this goal.

Bill Bennett Minister of Energy and Mines, Responsible for Core Review

Clark adds exclamation mark

A

s Premier Christy Clark basked in the glow of her fourth campaign victory in 30 months Wednesday evening, she readily acknowledged having run the electoral equivalent of a “marathon.” “When you are in the middle of a marathon you don’t stand around and say, ‘Gee, I’m so tired,’ “ she told reporters. “You say, ‘I have got to keep my energy up. I’ve got to keep working so that I can get to the end and I can succeed.’ “ A long, hard slog, even for someone who famously professes to have “politics in my blood” and who during a break from the game compared politics to an old boyfriend: “... and then a couple of years down the road you’re thinking ‘God that guy was great! I miss him!’ and you pick up the phone and dial.”

That was before she gave up a promising career in radio and jumped back into the fray in December 2010 to seek the leadership of the B.C. Liberal party.

Four months of vigorous campaigning later, lacking the support of all but one Liberal MLA, she won the leadership on the third ballot and then only narrowly.

Sworn in as premier in mid-March by virtue of her leadership of the majority

party in the legislature, she faced the immediate challenge of the long-standing parliamentary tradition that first ministers without seats in parliament are expected to seek one in short order.

She met the expectation in a May byelection in the vacated by-her-predecessor constituency of Vaughn Vancouver-Point Grey.

Another narrow victory, Palmer however, and the first sign that the riding was lukewarm to her charms.

Next? Her first thought was to set sights on refreshing the B.C. Liberal mandate to govern, via an early general election.

However, by the end of that first summer as premier - after the failed campaign to rescue the harmonized sales tax from the wrath of the electorate in a referendum - she surrendered to the lack of enthusiasm among her own colleagues for an early trip to the ballot box. That only prolonged what became a perpetual campaign. For there was no escaping the dynamic that translated every move she made into a test of whether she could “turn it around” and secure a fourth mandate for the Liberals, a first for her-

self as premier.

Still, at the end of it, there was the big win in the May 14 general election, unprecedented in the way it confounded the expectations of most of the pollsters and pundits and more than a few Liberals.

The vindication would have been total, were it not for that one pesky detail of her losing her own seat in standoffish Point Grey.

She was indisputably premier, and had been since March 2011, never mind how many people - misunderstanding our political system - insisted she was not.

But neither could she escape the parliamentary convention that a premier cannot govern credibly for long without a seat of his or her own.

Hence the obligation for one more expedited trip to the polls.

Ben Stewart, fresh from winning a second term as MLA for Westside-Kelowna, resigned on the first day that he could do so. Despite rumours, started within his own family, that he was not happy to give up his seat, he demonstrated considerable grace by campaigning with enthusiasm for her to take over.

The KEYSA Rovers U13 girls team (pictured above) finished in sixth place, while the Rovers U18 girls squad placed seventh at the Girls Provincial B Cup last week.

Local soccer teams return from provincials TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Two KEYSA Rovers girls soccer teams recently returned from provincials without a podium finish, however, both are satisfied with their results after competing against the best the province has to offer.

Hosted by North Vancouver, the U13 squad—heading to their first-ever provincial tournament— came out with a respectable sixth place finish, while the U19 girls ended the event placing seventh.

The U13 team had a record of one win and three losses in four games, however, it was a lot closer

than it appeared on paper, according to Shaune Hunt, who helped coach the team.

“We played okay,” said Hunt.

“We lost a couple tough ones against some coastal teams, but we played well.” “…A couple losses were close. In the 5/6 playoff, we lost to North Shore Vipers 1-0, but it was a very close game, it wasn’t decided till late in the game, so it was really good.”

Other losses came against the Chilliwack Attack at a score of 5-0 and the Marpole Phoenix at 4-0.

The Rovers notched their only win

with a 2-1 decision over the Quesnel Strikers in their second game of the tournament.

Outside of the tournament, the team went to a Vancouver White-

caps game, which ended with a 2-0 win over the visiting Seattle Sounders. “… One of the quotes I heard over there, was that it was amazing that we actually compete, and I think we did compete,” added Hunt.

“It’s good for the girls, they had a good time, and it was neat for us [coaches], too.”

The U18 team, which is made up of Cranbrook and Kimberley high school soccer players, had the same record as their U13 counterparts, with a win and three losses.

The U18 Rovers, which hadn’t had a lot of matches to tune up be-

SAN DIEGO - Tim Lincecum pitched his first career no-hitter and the second in the majors in 11 days, a gem saved by a spectacular diving catch by right fielder Hunter Pence in the San Francisco Giants’ 9-0 win Local: 250-489-4010 Long Distance: 1-888-489-4010 overwww.alpinetoyota.com the last-place San Diego Padres on St.Satur1924 Cranbrook N. Cranbrook, BC day night.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner in

a season-long funk was the loser when Cincinnati’s Homer Bailey nohit the Giants on July 2, threw a whopping 148 pitches.

Lincecum (5-9) was in control from the start Saturday, striking out 13. He walked four and hit a batter.

Still, he needed some help to preserve his no-no. Pence caught Alexi Amarista’s sinking liner with a full dive to end the eighth. Lince-

cum pumped his fist as Pence jumped up with the ball in his glove.

Amarista put his hands to his helmet and pulled it off in disgust.

“I thought for sure it was a hit,” Lincecum said. “You see Hunter flying out of nowhere making the flying grab.

That was really impressive a big play for us.”

Pablo Sandoval did his part, too, when he made a nice backhanded play on pinch-hitter

Jesus Guzman’s grounder deep behind third base and threw him out for the third out of the seventh.

Lincecum had been struggling coming in, losing his previous four decisions and hadn’t won since June 4 against Toronto. He hadn’t won on the road since April 3 at the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then again, he’d gotten only 12 runs of support in his last 10 starts.

fore the tournament, had to adjust things on the fly, according to Jake Walmsley, who helped coach the squad alongside Pete Campbell.

“Our season is really short, so the first two games, we were learning as we were playing, but we never got blown out,” said Walmsley.

The girls lost their opening three matches to Saanich Fusion FC at 6-3, Prince George at 2-0 and PMO Nitro at 1-0.

The Rovers then found their game and took it to their hosts, beating the North Shore Adrenaline 5-2 to finish on a high note.

Five different players scored tries for Canada (20), including two from Emily Belchos in the second half to shock the English side.

Canada jumped out to a 19-0 lead in the first half thanks to tries from Emily Barber, Daria Keane and Natalie Lesco and strong kicking from Jess Neilson.

Canada ran into some trouble midway thorough the game after being issued two yellow cards, but despite the challenge of playing with only 13 players, the Canadians regrouped.

Sprinter Tyson Gay tests positive for banned substance, pulls out of world championships Pat Gr aham Associated Press

American 100-meter record holder Tyson Gay, who had promoted himself as a clean athlete, tested positive for a banned substance and said he will pull out of the world championships next month in Moscow.

Gay wouldn’t reveal the substance in a phone conversation from Amsterdam on Sunday, but he said he was notified by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency late last week that a sample came back positive from a May 16 o u t- o f - c o m p e t i t i o n test. He said he will have his “B” sample tested soon, possibly as early as this week.

“I don’t have a sabotage story. I don’t have any lies. I don’t have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake or it was on USADA’s hands, someone playing games,” said Gay, who fought back sobs as he spoke.

“I don’t have any of those stories. I basically put my trust in someone and I was let down.”

Asked who that person was, Gay replied: “I can’t really say it.

Sometimes a human being naturally, gener-

ally trusts somebody.

That’s what people do.”

USATF CEO Max Siegel said in a statement: “It is not the news anyone wanted to hear, at any time, about any athlete.”

Siegel added: “We do not know the facts of this case and look to USADA to adjudicate it and handle it appropriately.”

A triple world champion in 2007, Gay was healthy again this season after being constantly plagued by hamstring and groin ailments, along with a surgically repaired hip.

He won the 100 and 200 at nationals last month, setting up an anticipated showdown with Usain Bolt at worlds.

But that’s been scrubbed. Gay, who has the fastest 100 time in the world this season, also said he will pull out of a meet in Monaco and fly back to the headquarters of USADA in Colorado Springs, Colo., to be on hand when his “B” sample is tested.

The anti-doping organization said in a statement it “appreciates his approach to handling this situation and his choice to voluntarily remove him-

self from competition while the full facts surrounding his test are evaluated.”

“The ‘B’ sample will be processed shortly,” the statement went on, “and as in all cases all athletes are innocent unless or until proven otherwise through the established legal process, and any attempt to sensationalize or speculate is a disservice to due process, fair play, and to those who love clean sport.”

Gay is the second high-profile track athlete to makes headlines

for doping in the last few weeks. Jamaica’s Veronica Campbell-Brown, the reigning 200-meter world champion and threetime Olympic gold medallist , was suspended by her national federation last month pending an investigation into a positive drug test. Jamaican officials said Campbell-Brown, the 2004 and 2008 Olympic champion in the 200, tested positive for a banned diuretic at a meet on the island in May. Gay is good friends

with Campbell-Brown and said at the time: “We’re all accountable for what goes in our system or what goes in our body. But at the same time, sometimes mistakes do happen.”

A few years ago, Gay was part of USADA’s program called “My Victory,” where athletes pledge to compete clean. In his testimonial on the website, Gay said, “I compete clean because I really believe in fairness, and besides that, my mom would kill me! Just being honest.”

Jamaican sprinters Powell, Simpson test positive for banned stimulant Pat Gr aham Associated Press

Former 100-meter world-record holder Asafa Powell and Jamaican teammate Sherone Simpson have each tested positive for banned stimulants, their agent told The Associated Press.

Powell and Simpson tested positive for the stimulant oxilofrine at the Jamaican championships last month and were just recently notified, Paul Doyle said Sunday, with their provi-

sional ban effective immediately. The news came the same day that American 100-meter record holder Tyson Gay revealed that he also failed a doping test.

Powell helped the Jamaicans to the 400meter relay gold medal at the 2008 Olympics and was the last man to hold the individual 100 record before countryman Usain Bolt broke it earlier that year.

Simpson won Olympic gold in the women’s 400 relay in 2004 and sil-

ver in 2012, along with an individual silver in the 100 in 2008.

“They’re devastated,” Doyle said in a phone interview. “I’m optimistic that Asafa’s and Sherone’s names will be cleared. It is a stimulant ban, which I hate to call any infraction minor any positive test is major, in my opinion - but at the same time it was something that was inadvertent. Hopefully, through our investigation and all that, we’ll be able to show it was unintentional.”

Trevor Gretzky making impact in minor pro ball league Omar R awji Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Trevor Gretzky arrived in Vancouver on Wednesday for baseball, but it’s his hockey roots that are drawing attention his way.

As an outfielder with the Boise Hawks, Gretzky is in town for a five-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays’ Class-A short season affiliate, the Vancouver Canadians. But he is under no false illusions about what’s causing the spotlight around him.

“I know it happens because of my dad,” said Gretzky, whose father Wayne played 21 seasons in the National Hockey League, bringing four Stanley Cup championships to the city of Edmonton, and winning the Hart Trophy for the league’s most valuable player nine times.

The baseball-playing Gretzky grew up in Los Angeles, ditching hockey at a young age to focus on football and baseball.

“If I had grown up in Canada I would’ve probably played hockey,” he said.

As a teenager at Oaks Chris-

tian High School in California, Gretzky was named starting quarterback of the prep school’s football team. Three games into his senior season, however, a shoulder injury halted his young football career.

So Gretzky turned his sights back to baseball and in 2011, he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the seventh round of the MLB amateur draft.

Gretzky played last season in the Arizona Rookie League, batting .304 in 25 games.

“I kind of always knew I was going to come back to baseball,” he said. “I just didn’t know when.”

Before Boise’s trip to Vancouver, Gretzky was in and out of the lineup, making appearances in just eight of the Hawks’ first 25 games. Since Wednesday, he’s earned three straight starts.

Hawks’ manager Gary Van Tol is happy with Gretzky’s performance in Vancouver so far.

“He’s done everything I’ve asked him to,” Van Tol said about Gretzky, who has gone 4-for-10 since Wednesday’s game.

Through 11 games this season, Gretzky is batting .256 with 10 hits and one RBI. “At the beginning of the year it was tough for him to find some at-bats because we do have a very strong outfield,” Van Tol said. “This was an opportunity for him to really do some things and I think he’s done a great job.”

Van Tol, a native of Pincher Creek Alta., is well aware of the weight behind Trevor’s last name. He has been impressed with the way Gretzky has carried himself.

“He’s just another 20-yearold kid, really,” the Hawks manager said. “He’s dealt with (the media) great and he handles it very well.”

As Gretzky slogs his way through baseball’s ranks, he’s asked to contrast his own road against the way his father was thrust into the highest levels of hockey.

“He is the Great One,” Gretzky said, shrugging off the question.

Many might assume that this Gretzky made the choice to steer away from hockey to forge his own path, but the

20-year-old balks at that notion.

“Even today I never think, ‘Oh I have to do something for myself.’ It’s selfish thinking,” Gretzky said. “Everyone says it’s hard to live in (my dad’s) shadow, but it’s really not. I respect the shadow he made, the things he’s done for hockey. It’s awesome.”

Though Gretzky hasn’t necessarily dominated his sport the way his father dominated hockey, there are similarities between father and son. Cut from the same cloth as his championship-clad father, the young Gretzky has his sights set high.

“Win a championship, that’s my personal goal,” he said.

“You don’t come here trying to get hits for yourself. That’s why you played the game as a kid.

You dream of being up there, getting that at-bat at the World Series and winning a championship.”

His work ethic sounds like the elder Gretzky as well.

“If you play the game hard, good things will happen,” he said. “That’s been preached to me since I was a kid.”

Coyotes sign first-round draft pick Max Domi to three-year deal

GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Phoenix Coyotes have signed first-round draft pick Max Domi to a threeyear, entry-level contract.

Phoenix selected Domi with 12th overall pick in this summer’s draft. The Toronto-born forward scored 39 goals and 87 points in 64 games last season for the Ontario Hockey league’s London Knights.

Domi, the son of former Toronto Maple Leafs player Tie Domi, led the Knights in points, goals, and tied for first on the team in assists and plus-minus in 2012-13.

He also had a team-high 32 points in 21 post-season games, leading the Knights to their second consecutive OHL Championship.

Domi has been named to Hockey Canada’s roster for the 2013 National Junior Team summer development camp, which will take place Aug. 4-10 in Brossard, Que., and Lake Placid, N.Y. Canadian Press

A powerful tool when you want to reach your potential customers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be touchy, and you could turn sarcastic at the drop of a hat. If you feel that mood coming on, back off for everyone’s sake. It’s better not to say anything at all rather than something hurtful. Be willing to share your feelings. Tonight: Decide what is best for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Staying mellow could be a challenge, as someone’s agitated mood seems to be directed at you. Let this person’s words fall to the wayside; do not give him or her the power to hurt you. You might enjoy getting into a favorite pastime. Tonight: Schedule a massage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take advantage of an unexpected opportunity that heads in from out of left field. You might want to think through a response, but you could lose this opportunity if you do. Be that spontaneous person everyone loves. Tonight: Tap into your creativity around others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Understand what is happening within your immediate circle of friends. Listen to news more openly, and know that you need to honor a change. Question what has been happening within yourself, too. You could be dealing with more stress than you realize. Tonight: Order in.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Let communication flow naturally. Your ability to get past a problem reflects your ingenuity and your ability to find answers.

Make sure that you are on the same page with new people you meet. Express your caring, and a friend will beam. Tonight: Follow the crowds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The topic of your finances keeps coming up. Be prepared to have a disagreement or two with others, but not to the point where you might have to buy someone a peace offering. Indulge yourself, and take a break from the volatility. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You beam, and others respond.

You might wonder how to get

For Better or Worse

past a restriction. Communication won’t alleviate the issue right now, so you’ll want to wait a day or two. By remaining positive, you will help others develop a positive reaction. Tonight: All smiles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Know when the odds are stacked against you. You will discover that you are best off doing research or running errands, rather than getting involved in interpersonal work. Think through an issue one more time. Err on the side of caution. Tonight: See what your friends are up to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Meetings, friends and people in general dominate this day. A child could surprise you with a spontaneous reaction. If you are single, you could be taken aback by a person who might show up unexpectedly today. Open up to someone whom you care about.

Tonight: Off to a game.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Just when you think everything finally is mellow, you might discover that the opposite is true.

How much more chaos can you handle? Figure out what is going

on behind the scenes. Perhaps you need to detach more, especially if you take the lead. Tonight: A must appearance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your perspective might be needed. Unless you see an opening, keep your opinions and thoughts to yourself. You easily could be misunderstood if you are not careful. Refuse to get involved with whatever is happening behind the scenes. Tonight: Go anywhere you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will be full of fun and high energy. Your ability to deal with a problem comes forward. A partner could feel overwhelmed. You also might get some flak for a decision you’ve made that upsets this person. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Break bread with a loved one.

Dear Annie: I’m a young professional, and I have nothing left. After eight months of searching for a job in my field, I moved to a small town 12 hours away from family and friends to take a graduate-friendly position.

Two months in, the firm let me go, saying there wasn’t enough work for me. To make matters worse, my successful friends back home are telling me about the jobs they love and the exotic vacations they’re taking.

Annie, I feel like such an idiot. I have always been the good son who worked hard, volunteered, went to college, got good grades, finished his degree and put in long hours at an after-school job. I sacrificed so much and put off all the things I wanted to do so I could be the “perfect candidate” who gets the great job, the nice car and the house. Now I’m homesick, on government assistance and no closer to finding work. I’m convinced it’s all been for nothing.

I’m starting to resent my friends, even though it’s not their fault. For the first time in my life, I have no idea where I’ll end up.

My anger is so stifling that I can’t breathe.

I decided to backpack across Europe when the unemployment checks run out, but that made my father so nervous that he offered me my old room back.

Dear Joe: Life isn’t fair. Sometimes you can do all the right things but still struggle, while others seem to skate by. But it sounds as if you could use a break, and backpacking across Europe can be an opportunity not to be missed. So go ahead, but understand that when you return, you will still have to find a job, and your father’s offer may no longer be available. Use the experience for personal growth and learning, and come back refreshed and re-energized.

Dear Annie: I am one of six women who attend a girls’ night out once a month. About six months ago, one of the women started bringing her husband. She is the only one of us who is married. This is making all of us very uncomfortable, as we don’t feel we can talk as freely with him there. We all think she should know better than to bring him with her.

How do we let her know we don’t want him there without making her angry? -Awaiting Your Help

Dear Awaiting: Why did she suddenly decide to bring her husband? Did he demand to come along? Might he be ill, and she is reluctant to leave him home? You need to ask her nicely why she finds it necessary to bring her husband to a women’s gathering.

Explain that it is unfair (since you cannot all do the same) and that it inhibits your conversation. If she has a good reason, please tolerate his presence. Otherwise, he needs to find another form of entertainment once a month.

Dear Annie: “A Coping Mom” wrote that her 9-year-old son is legally blind and has epilepsy. She said he is often quiet and withdrawn and that he is impulsive and does inappropriate things in public, so leaving the house with him can be challenging.

Clark adds exclamation mark Continued from page 7

Clark, knowing she could ill afford to lose - there was ample precedent for a premier to seek a backup seat in a byelection but none for a premier needing a third chance to get into the house - avoided the mistakes she’d made in her byelection run in Point Grey.

She took part in all-candidates meetings and indicated she would try to represent the riding in the long run, if the voters were willing to entrust her with the honour. She made promises targeted specifically to the riding, too.

Nor did the party take anything for granted, flooding Kelowna with volunteers, ensuring a high turnout in the advance poll and an impressive finish on election day.

She led from the outset of the Elections B.C. tally and finished with 63 per cent of the popular vote, a higher share than Stewart in the general election, the easiest of the four wins that brought her this far.

So for the first time in 2½ years, Clark finds herself without an imme-

diate electoral target and a pressing need to launch into another campaign.

But I’m indebted to Philip Till, the morning host on radio station CKNW and a former foreign correspondent, for reminding me what Margaret Thatcher said after one of her victories. “Celebrate tonight,” or words to that effect, “for tomorrow begins the campaign for the next election.”

Clark’s agenda is top-heavy with the need to implement an ambitious election platform: keeping the budget in balance, securing a long-term deal with teachers, and opening up the province to a liquefied natural gas industry as part of a broader agenda for job creation and economic growth. Plus there are those targeted promises she made in the course of persuading Kelowna to take a chance on again being represented by a premier.

As a proven master of the political game in this province, she’ll know as well as anyone that mandates evaporate quickly and there’s no avoiding the continual courtship of the electorate.

Celebrities, fans mourn death of ‘Glee’ actor Vivian Luk Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Tributes from celebrities and fans of the popular television series “Glee’’ were pouring in on social media Sunday as those who admire Canadian actor Cory Monteith learned of his sudden death.

The 31-year-old actor, who shot to fame as football player and singer Finn Hudson on the popular television series, was found dead at a downtown Vancouver hotel room on Saturday.

Police told reporters the cause of death still must be determined, but investigators do not believe foul play was involved.

Once news broke of Monteith’s death, fellow celebrities and “Glee’’ cast members took to Twitter to express their condolences.

Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Shannon Beiste, wrote, “I am blessed to have worked with him and love him so much. My heart is with his family and our whole Glee family. I love you all.’’

And Lauren Potter, who plays cheerleader Becky Jackson said, “I am totally heartbroken right now. I love Cory so much this hurts my heart. I hope my Glee family is OK right now. I love them all. Cory was always so nice to me. I have so many good memories.’’

Monteith’s co-star and girlfriend Lea Michele, who plays Finn’s girlfriend on-screen, has issued a brief statement, requesting privacy.

Cory Monteith Fans from B.C., where Monteith grew up, also mourned the death of the local celebrity.

“When I first saw Glee, I was ecstatic for Cory. A local boy and a great guy. My thoughts to his family and friends. He will be remembered,’’ wrote Vancouver actor Osric Chau.

The executive producers of Glee and Fox also issued a statement on Saturday night, saying, “We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Cory was an exceptional talent and an even more exceptional person. He was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.’’

Acting Vancouver Police Chief Doug LePard told reporters on Saturday that Monteith’s body was found around noon after he failed to check out from his room as scheduled.

LePard said the actor had

been with some other people in the room the night before, but video and electronic records show that Monteith entered the room by himself on Saturday morning.

His death comes several months after he told People magazine that he had admitted himself into rehab for substance abuse, but police declined to speculate whether there was any connection.

Monteith, who has been open about having suffered from drug addiction when he was younger, was born in Calgary and raised in Victoria, where his mother still lives.

Before becoming an actor, he worked as a Wal-Mart people greeter in Nanaimo, B.C., as well as a taxicab driver, school bus driver, and roofer.

He had minor roles in other films before joining the cast of “Glee,’’ which debuted in 2009.

He also played drummer for the California-based band Bonnie Dune, and was an avid supporter of the Project Limelight Society, a Vancouver charity that offers a theatre program to atrisk youth.

Just days before his death, Monteith apparently dined with casting director and Project Limelight co-founder Maureen Webb in an east Vancouver restaurant.

An autopsy was expected to be performed on Monday.

Fossils of ancient insects found in B.C., Wash., hold valuable lessons, study says K e v e n D r e ws Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Ancient fossils of an extinct family of insects have been found in British Columbia and northern Washington state, and a biologist says they hold valuable lessons about climate change and evolution.

Bruce Archibald of Simon Fraser University says researchers found fossils of scorpionflies near Cache Creek, B.C., and Republic, Wash., while conducting fieldwork.

He said the insects, named eorpidae after the age of history in which they lived, fed on the remains of other insects about 50 millions years ago but may have gone extinct because of competition from other species or climate change back then.

“By looking at fossil insects and their diversity and their biogeography and all, we can try and understand broader principles about how communities work in relation to climate,’’ he said.

“When we look out at forests today and see, for example, the mountain pine-beetle devastation, we can see that with a little bit of climate change we get all this tremendous impact, which is gong to have a strong effect on us economically and socially.’’

The pine beetle has destroyed more than 18 million hectares of lodgepole pine in B.C. and turned vast swaths of once-green forests to an orange-red and then to black.

Scientists have argued the beetle was once frozen out of forests, but then spread because of climate change.

Archibald, along with David Greenwood of Brandon University in Manitoba and Rolf Mathewes also of SFU co-authored a research paper of their findings, published recently in the Journal of Paleontology.

He said scorpionfly families lived about 50 million years ago when the global climate was much warmer. But when climates outside of the tropics

cooled, seasonal temperatures widened, forming patterns of freezing winters and hot summers.

As a result, scorpionfly families had to migrate to the hot tropics, evolve a tolerance for colder winters or go extinct, he said, noting there are now only two families of scorpionflies left, even though there were once six.

Researchers also believe the insects could have faced increasing competition for food from ants, which had begun to diversify, Archibald said.

Ants can recruit their nest mates and cover a large territory with their scouts and clean out an area very quickly, he said, adding such a development would have made it hard for a diversity of scorpionflies to exist.

“We suspect that this competition for scavenging for food sources from ants may have hit this scavenging group (scorpionflies) very hard.’’

George Zimmerman cleared in Trayvon Martin shooting Associated Press

SANFORD, Fla. — After a year and a half of living as a hermit, George Zimmerman emerged from a Florida courthouse a free man, cleared of all charges in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

His brother said the former neighbourhood watch volunteer was still processing the reality that he wouldn’t serve prison time for the killing, which Zimmerman, 29, has maintained was an act of self-defence. Late Saturday night, a jury found him not guilty of second-degree murder and declined to convict him on a lesser charge of manslaughter.

However, with many critics angry over his acquittal, his freedom may be limited.

“He’s going to be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life,’’ Robert Zimmerman Jr. said during an interview on CNN. Demonstrators upset with the verdict protested mostly peacefully in Florida, Milwaukee, Washington, Atlanta and other cities overnight and into the early morning Sunday, but some broke windows and vandalized a police squad car in Oakland during protests in four California cities, authorities said. Additional demonstrations were scheduled across the country through Sunday evening.

Martin’s killing in February 2012 unleashed debate across the U.S. over racial profiling, self-defence and equal justice.

Protesters nationwide lashed

Trayvon Martin (left) and George Zimmerman. out against police in the Orlando suburb of Sanford as it took 44 days for Zimmerman to be arrested. Many, including Martin’s parents, said Zimmerman had racially profiled the unarmed black teen. Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic.

Six anonymous female jurors considered nearly three weeks of often wildly conflicting testimony over who was the aggressor on the rainy night the 17-year-old was shot while walking through the gated townhouse community where he was staying and where Zimmerman lived.

Jurors were sequestered during the trial, and they deliberated more than 15 hours over two days before announcing late Saturday night that they had reached a verdict. The court did not release the racial and ethnic makeup of the jury, but the panel appeared to reporters covering selection to be made up of five white women

and a sixth who may be Hispanic.

In August 2012, defence attorney Mark O’Mara said Zimmerman and his wife, Shellie, had been living like hermits and weren’t working because they feared for their safety.

Those watching reacted strongly when the verdict was announced. Martin’s mother and father were not in the courtroom when it was read; supporters of his family who had gathered outside yelled “No! No!’’ upon learning of the verdict.

Martin’s family maintained the teen was not the aggressor, and prosecutors suggested Martin was scared because he was being followed by a stranger. Defence attorneys, however, said Martin knocked Zimmerman down and was slamming the older man’s head against the concrete sidewalk when Zimmerman fired his gun.

Prosecutors called Zimmer-

man a liar and portrayed him as a “wannabe cop’’ vigilante who had grown frustrated by breakins in his neighbourhood committed primarily by young black men. Zimmerman assumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands, prosecutors said.

State Attorney Angela Corey said after the verdict that she believed second-degree murder was the appropriate charge because Zimmerman’s mindset “fit the bill of second-degree murder.’’

Despite the racially charged nature of the case, race was barely mentioned at the trial.

“This case has never been about race or the right to bear arms,’’ Corey said. “We believe this case all along was about boundaries, and George Zimmerman exceeded those boundaries.’’

One of the few mentions of race came from witness Rachel Jeantel, the Miami teen who was talking to Martin by phone moments before he was shot.

She testified that he described being followed by a “creepy-ass cracker’’ as he walked through the neighbourhood.

Jeantel gave some of the trial’s most riveting testimony.

She said she overheard Martin demand, “What are you following me for?’’ and then yell, “Get off! Get off!’’ before his cellphone went dead.

The jurors had to sort out clashing testimony from 56 witnesses in all, including police, neighbours, friends and family members.

Prince William smiles at a child before competing in the Jerudong Trophy polo match at Cirencester Park Polo Club near Cirencester in central England on Sunday.

William plays polo as baby watch heats up Associated Press

LONDON — His wife may be due to have her baby soon, but Prince William isn’t one to sit tight and wait for the news — instead, he’s off playing polo.

Many in the British press have predicted that the first child of the prince and the Duchess of Cambridge, formerly known as Kate Middleton, is expected to arrive on Sunday. Dozens of blearyeyed photographers and cameramen have been standing guard around the clock on royal baby watch outside St. Mary’s Hospital in London.

But the prince was enjoying a game of polo against his brother Prince Harry at a charity event at Cirencester Park Polo Club, almost 100 miles (161 kilometres) west of the capital, on Sunday.

According to bookmaker William Hill, most people are betting money on a royal birth Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.

Officials have said that the baby is due around mid-July, but have not released a due date. The birth, when it does come, will be announced by a bulletin posted on a wooden easel placed outside Buckingham Palace.

It’s a time-honoured royal tradition — the birth of William’s father, Prince Charles, was announced the same way in 1948. This time, however, officials have adapted to modern times by adding a simultaneous announcement on Twitter, so that millions around the world can get the news within seconds.

Rupert Adams, spokesman for William Hill, said that the most fervent betting has been on the name of the baby. Alexandra, Charlotte, Elizabeth and George are among the top contenders so far, he said.
