Amy Morrison, staffer out at the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, introduces a young friend to the fine points of the Painted Turtle, one of the many wonders on display at the facility. The Trout Hatchery hosted an anniversary celebration Saturday, July 13, marking the 10th year of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. Families flocked to the event. See Page 2 for a special photo feature.
The man charged over an October 2012 carjacking near Creston and subsequent flight from police in Cranbrook has pleaded not guilty. Nickolas Bullock, 26, faces 11 eleven charges in Cranbrook, including assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, uttering threats, and robbery. In Cranbrook criminal court on Monday, July 15, Bullock entered pleas of not guilty. It was unexpected; both the prosecutor and a lawyer representing
Bullock’s defense thought he was going to accept a plea deal and plead guilty. However, Bullock told Judge Ron Webb he had changed his mind. Bullock was arrested in Cranbrook on October 2, 2012, after a dramatic pursuit by a police officer ended in a residential driveway. Earlier that night, a Creston man stopped to pick up two hitchhikers between Creston and Yahk. According to the driver, when the pair entered the car, the male hitchhiker allegedly assaulted the driver and stole the vehicle.

Paramedic training coming to Cranbrook SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
The Justice Institute of B.C. is preparing to offer paramedic training for 15 students starting February 2014 in Cranbrook. The new program will help to meet current student demand for paramedic training and address the growing
demand for paramedics in public and private organizations in rural areas, such as the BC Ambulance Service and the oil and gas industries. The Ministry of Advanced Education is giving the Justice Institute $250,000 each year to fund the program, which will start off with 15 places in Cranbrook next
year and 15 in Prince George. At the moment, paramedic training is mostly only offered in urban areas, and rural training is run on a onetime basis when required. The government provided one-time funding for those rural sessions, rather than regular annual funding. The program has never been of-
fered in Cranbrook before. “This new rural paramedic training program will help ensure that we are meeting the growing demand for services while supporting the health of families in rural areas of the province,” said Minister of Health Terry Lake. “We welcome this announcement,” said Dr. Mi-
chel Tarko, president of the Justice Institute of British Columbia. “Ongoing funding gives JIBC, in partnership with BC Ambulance Service, the ability to plan further ahead to meet the needs of rural and remote communities and to ensure that residents are aware of opportunities to pursue paramedic
training without leaving their communities.” “Our Skills and Training Plan aims to ensure that British Columbians have the right mix of skills, in the right places, at the right time,” said Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk. For more information, visit www.jibc.ca.

It’s time for the fest that rocks the west
C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin
After months of organization, Kimberley’s biggest party is set to go this weekend — it’s time for JulyFest. Fest organizer Dave Clark and Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery say everything is ready for the opening bocce ball toss at 3:45 p.m. Friday at the bocce pits on Rotary Drive. Games get underway at 4 p.m. Just about every hotel room in Kimberley is booked for the weekend as bocce and soccer teams and other JulyFest participants descend on Kimberley. Bocce was cut off at 194 teams this year and the draw will be available in the Bulletin on Thursday, and online at www.kimberleyjulyfest. com. While they are as ready as they can be, Clark and Guarnery would never turn down a volunteer, so if you’d like to lend a hand reffing a bocce game, selling tickets, pouring refreshments or at the dance, call the Chamber office at 250-4273666 or sign up on the website. “We need four strong helpers to help set up the band for the 54-40 show,” Clark said. That will be at 1 p.m. Saturday. Call the Chamber office to ask about that. Volunteers are also needed to work the dance on Saturday night — you’ll be working hard, but you’ll also have a chance to hear one of Canada’s best
2nd YEAR!
touring bands perform. There is no opening act for 54-40, as the music in the bocce pits won’t stop until 9:30 p.m. The outdoor stage closes at that time and it is hoped everyone will head over to the Civic Centre for the dance. Tickets for 54-40 are available online until 5 p.m. Wednesday. They will also be available at the door. On Friday night, there is a roller derby at the Civic Centre. Families are welcome to attend. Don’t forget — no minors are allowed in the bocce pits after 6 p.m. A great lineup of music is planned for the outdoor stage at the bocce pits both evenings. Beginning at 4 p.m. Friday with Miss Grizzly, the Good Ol’ Goats at 6:30 p.m., and Oak Republic at 8 p.m. On Saturday, music starts at 10 a.m. with 60 Hertz, Sketch at noon, 2:30 p.m. it’s Scarlet Jane, Elk Hunt at 5 p.m. and Hot Muck at 7:30 p.m. Saturday also begins with a pancake breakfast at the bocce pits, then stay there to watch the parade, which gets underway at 10:30 a.m. A Kids Fest begins at 11 a.m. Saturday at Rotary Park. Of course, there is the big JulyFest soccer tournament all weekend, five and ten K runs in the Nature Park on Saturday, and the Sullivan Challenge Longboard race on Sunday.

Man presumed drowned after jumping in river to avoid police T ra i l Da i ly T i m e s
Barry Coulter file photo
Nickolas Bullock is pictured being escorted from Cranbrook Court during his first appearance, October, 2012.
Bullock pleads not guilty Continued from page 1 RCMP set up a road block south of Cranbrook and an officer spotted the stolen vehicle entering Cranbrook late that evening. The driver did not stop and the RCMP officer pursued the vehicle. The chase ended in an encounter on the outskirts of Cranbrook, where RCMP said the officer discharged his weapon, injuring the suspect. Bullock was released from hospital within a week. Bullock was allegedly on the run from Port Coquitlam with his 17-year-old girl-
friend. The youth, who cannot be named because she is under 18, was returned to her mother’s care in Port Coquitlam pending court proceedings in juvenile court. Bullock has waived his right to bail and remains in custody at North Fraser Correctional Centre. He asked the judge if his case could be moved to Port Coquitlam courts, which Crown counsel will consider. Bullock will next appear via video in Cranbrook criminal court on August 12.
Calling All Photographers Cranbrook Fire Services is putting together a local calendar to raise funds and awareness for the Burn Fund. We are looking for local photos of local landscapes to include in this comprehensive 16 month calendar. This calendar will include SD#5 and SD#6 school calendar, Kootenay Ice and Dynamiter Home Game schedule and all great local events we love to attend.
Police efforts in Trail to arrest a man wanted on outstanding warrants tragically turned into a river search effort last Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, the police issued a press release stating 28-year-old Andrew Lee Evans was classified as missing however presumed drowned. Cpl. Dan Moskaluk, District Advisory NCO (Media Relations) South East District, said in the release that police attended a home in Glenmerry on Wednesday to arrest Evans on several unendorsed arrest warrants. Evans was seen fleeing upstairs where he jumped from a second storey window. He evaded police and ran into the Columbia River. The officers notified the Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire/Rescue (KBRFR) and its river rescue boat was launched. From the shoreline, officers observed Evans swimming back towards the
shore where he clung to a tree branch while speaking with officers on the river’s edge. The release said officers tried to convince Evans to exit the river, however Evans swam away from shore. The officers maintained visual contact until Evans reached the Rock Island rapids where he disappeared from view for a short time. He resurfaced and appeared to be in distress, said the release, before disappearing again. The KBRFR boat arrived on the scene as Evans disappeared from view for the second time. A search of the area leading to the U.S. border failed to locate Evans. U.S. law enforcement and rescue agencies were notified of the incident. The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) was notified Wednesday but will not be asserting jurisdiction in the matter. The IIO investigates officer-related incidents of deaths or serious harm.

Fairmont couple selected for Amazing Race Steve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer
A valley couple will be part of Canada’s first-ever Amazing Race. The American television show features teams of two people following clues and solving puzzles as they race around the world. A Canadian version of the show was launched this year and will feature Fairmont Hot Springs couple Kristen Idiens and Darren Trapp. “I’m pretty sure my heart stopped beating when I found out we’d made the show,” said Idiens. “It was my fault we applied; I pushed for it. I love every bit of being in challenging situations and seeing how I excel or fail.”
They are both avid nature enthusiasts with an interest in sustainable living and a belief in positive thinking who love being physically fit and active outdoors. Trapp, 26, works as a whitewater rafting guide and lifeguard, and Idiens, 32, is a Jill-of-alltrades nature guide, teacher and yoga instructor. They plan to win the race by using their high fitness level, logic, resourcefulness and by maintaining a positive attitude through each challenge. The couple met at a bonfire in Fairmont several summers ago. Shortly after, they were working together under difficult circumstances
The Corporation of the
City of Kimberley
NOTICE As part of our Community Wildfire Fuels Management Program and through a grant from UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) the City of Kimberley will be treating one unit in the Kimberley Nature Park. The Unit is located between Upper Army Road and the Kimberley Nordic Trails and between Myrtle Junction and the Trickle Creek Golf Course. The objective is to reduce the probability of catastrophic urban interface fires in an area adjacent to the City of Kimberley by reducing surface fuel loading and lowering canopy fuel loading through stand treatments. This Unit will receive thinning through a fuel removal & piling followed by burning of debris later in the fall. This project will start July 15, 2013 and be completed February 1, 2013. The area is signed as active falling and the public is asked to stay clear of the area while the work is being completed. The City of Kimberley would like to thank you for your cooperation. For additional information contact the Fire Department at 427-4114 or visit the Kimberley Nature Park website.

when they both volunteered in Cameroon, Africa in a remote, rural area helping a women’s empowerment group. The experience, and others like it (both Trapp and Idiens have visited or worked in several different countries and done several different jobs), make good training for something like the Amazing Race, according to Idiens. “Cameroon was a good test for us. We were constantly faced with language barriers and other obstacles. We learned about being okay with challenge and about dealing with the unknown,” she said. “We got good at being well-prepared.” The couple also thinks living in the Columbia Valley may help give them a leg up on the other teams in the show. “We’re always out rock climbing, hiking, playing in nature. We’re always walking up all
these hills, which keeps us in great shape, so the valley is the perfect place to be in terms of getting ready for this kind of race,” Idiens said. The race won’t necessarily be totally smooth sailing — their differences (Trapp is a detail-oriented perfectionist while Idiens pre-
fers to fly along at a fast pace) could make for an unbeatable combination of skills, but may also be the couple’s downfall. “He picks up on the small things that I miss because I’m already up and running in the opposite direction,” said Idiens. “It works out well
when we’re getting along, but it’s definitely a problem when we’re butting heads. It creates tension, it creates arguments, and it creates stress in our relationship.” Trapp and Idiens will be up against eight other teams in the race, including Canadian fit-

Empty seats for political theatre
P
remier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets. The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in
their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do. What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.
voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by BC Views “more government funding” is now so engrained in Tom our education system that it Fletcher seems inescapable. One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago. The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit

Welcome Centre now open in Cranbrook Melba Hanson
Cranbrook is officially now a “Welcoming Community.” The Immigrant Welcome Centre opened this month at 19A 9th Avenue South. The centre is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., staffed by Settlement Worker Anna Jordan. The lead agency in Cranbrook and Kimberley is the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL). The grand opening is July 25 at 2 p.m.; the public is invited. “This is a natural fit for our organizations as we already offer immigrants English as a second language training,” said Katherine Hough, the coordinator for
CBAL in Cranbrook. “It is important to realize we offer these settlement services to anyone who has immigrated with in the past 10 years, not just those who are newly arrived.” The Immigrant Welcome Centre in Kimberley has been open for a couple of months and Settlement Worker Pam Bailie is pleased with the number of people who have already used the service. “We’ve helped people fill out forms for their school age children, accompanied a couple of individuals to various appointments, assisted with permanent resident card applications, figured out a few confusing phone

Coroner takes over inquiry into Monteith death Canadian Press
VANCOUVER — Toxicology tests and an autopsy will be performed on the body of “Glee’’ star Cory Monteith. With no obvious cause of death, the BC Coroners Service confirmed today it will do further testing on the Canadian actor’s body in order to determine how the 31-year-old died. It may take several days before results are in from the toxicology tests. Vancouver police say they are
stepping back from the investigation after ruling out foul play. Sgt. Randy Fincham says police see bad drugs in the city on occasion and officers recently noted two teenagers died of overdoses as a result, but there’s nothing to indicate Monteith’s death was due to illicit drug use. Police say when Monteith’s body was found Saturday in a Vancouver hotel he had been dead for several hours.
ship and Immigration Canada,” Bailie said. “We’ve also given information on how to find work through WorkBC, how to get a foreign degree accredited in Canada and how to find your way around the Nature Park.” The project is multi-dimensional and there are many partners involved in both communities. The projects and events they have planned will roll out over the next 12 months. One example is the Cranbrook Public Library, which is inviting immigrants to come to the Library for the Newcomers Reading Club,
Film Nights and Family Games Nights. Head librarian Ursula Brigl announced that they are also offering a “living library” with human books and what they term “a reverse travelogue” program. The Cranbrook Centre is looking for volunteers. If you are a welcoming person and can volunteer a few hours a week please contact the office at 250-581-2112 or email wccranbrook@ gmail.com. Training will be provided. The program is made possible through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of BC.

On the trail with the twitchers
A
very distant relative from Australia visited us a few years back. His name is Lorne Mauer, so you can imagine how quickly he obtained his nickname. Lorne wanted to climb up into the Rockies on to a peak that was higher than Australia’s Mount Kosciuszko, so I took him up Maus Creek and lied a bit. Lorne had apparently become a bird-watcher. It must have been an odd decision because he’s a big lad, like two men packed into one shirt, and didn’t sit still very much at all. He kept rushing about, not looking at birds, and is apparently brain damaged from playing too much rugby or Aussie Rules. Anyway, I needed a rest before we reached the crest of a suitable ridge and so suggested lunch. Lorne didn’t seem to need food, so while he scrambled about looking for rare birds, I ate my lunch and then, carefully, inserted a very large rock into his pack, the way they do to jockeys, just to even things up. Finally on the ridge in pleasant weather, Lorne got lucky. He reckoned he’d spotted a golden eagle or, maybe, a condor, making lazy circles in the sky, the way hawks do in Oklahoma. I guessed it might be a turkey vulture and hoped that I didn’t look too dead. I probably should have opened at least one eye just to humour Lorne but my eye-
lids had grown uncommonly heavy after lunch and the exertion. Lorne said, “You see that?” I mumbled incoherently. “It’s a condor. Look at the size of that bird!” Over the years I have learned to deal with ‘twitchers’. I prised one eyelid open and said, “You mean that one over there with the droopy feathers?” Peter Apparently Lorne Warland couldn’t see it. “It’s an Alpine Booby,” I suggested. “About the size of an Alaskan Honey Sucker.” This threw Lorne into some sort of panic. ‘Twitchers’, especially the tyros, hate to think that they’ve missed a rare sighting. He started rushing about on the summit rocks saying, “Where? Where?” I got a tad concerned and hoped that the idiot didn’t fall over the edge and have to be rescued. As I said, he’s huge. I sat up and tried to calm the man and wondered if the flecks of foam at his mouth might not have been caused somehow by the rock in his pack. It could have been magnetite and was messing magnetically with his few remaining brain cells. Back then, I only knew of three types of bird: little ones like hummingbirds and finches, robins, woodpeckers and those pesky blue jays that import peanuts from Africa and leave the shells all over the yard; bigger ones like albatrosses, vultures, frigate birds, parrots, cashews, very big chick-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
adees, ostriches and tropical bats; and really big suckers like pterodactyls. I sat upright and pointed into the hazy distance saying, “Look! Isn’t that an Argentinian Kestrel?” I pointed again in another direction. “They’re probably hunting each other, that kestrel and the Whooping Crane. See?” I’ve discovered that, if you have a really good imagination, you can actually enjoy bird-watching. You might even join a group of fellow ‘twitchers’ and meet regularly. It would be fun. But you can’t spoil an ardent bird-watcher’s fun by pointing out the truth, can you? Poor Lorne’s magnetite-damaged brain was getting the best of him and so we moved on down towards the valley and relative sanity. I couldn’t tell even a distant relative that what he’d been watching so zealously was the plastic bag that had contained my meagre lunch and had blown away while I was stuffing his pack with that large rock. It had almost looked as if it were enjoying those lazy circles in the sky. I sometimes wonder if any zealous hiker retrieved it. Only last week I received a surprise card from Lorne, safely back in Australia, maybe in a mental home for ‘twitchers’. The picture on the card was of a very ugly emu and the message on the back was, ‘Was it one of these, mate?’ Australians have a weird sense of humour.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN BANDITS
Little mistakes prove costly for Bandits TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
A few tweaks here and there and the weekend could’ve gone a lot different for the Rocky Mountain Bandits. However, they still had a good showing at a tournament in Kalispell, winning one game and losing two others by only one run. “We’re taking games that we get command of, and then letting them back in a little bit, sometimes slowly, without closing the door on them, so we gotta get tougher,” said Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek. “A routine play turns into an error, bad base running—you can’t have that.” The first game ended with a close 9-8 loss to the Vauxhall Spurs. “…We were right in there but we’re making too many little mistakes,” said Mrazek. “A little mistake here, a little mistake there, and we can’t keep making as many because they pile up, and then we let the other team back in the game.” The Bandits fought back in the second game, demolishing the
Whitefish Glacier B team 10-5. After the first four innings, the Bandits managed to surge to a 10-run lead before things came a little unhinged. “We came out, hit the ball really well,” said Mrazek. “I believe we had about 10 runs in the first four innings and then it was probably the second time around for their hitters against [pitcher] Carter McDonald and they just started
swinging it and hitting ‘em hard.” McDonald had some pain in his throwing arm, and Mrazek pulled him after a few hits and a walk, replacing him with Devon Marra. The Glaciers then scored five runs before the inning before the Bandits closed it out. “They got five back in that inning,” added Mrazek. “All of the sudden, their bats came alive and talking to their
coach, he said, ‘We just started doing what you guys were doing—hitting the ball hard.’” Their final game against a team from Medicine Hat, saw both teams see-saw in and out of the lead until things were knotted at 6-6 after the final inning. “We were up, then they got back in it, then we took the lead again and then they tied it up,” Mrazek said. “There was a couple of runs that
should’ve scored, but base running errors…we couldn’t score because we were getting picked off.” The Medicine Hat Knights were able to capitalize on an error in an extra inning to get on base, and the runner eventually scored. Next action for the Bandits is a home game at Confederation Park against the local senior men’s team on Wednesday at 6 p.m.
Women’s Avs to host youth volleyball camps TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Local volleyball players will have a chance to get some coaching from the Avalanche during two camps in August that will be run by women’s coach Agata Bendkowska. The camp is for girls in grades 7-9 that will focus on building and strengthening foundational skills as they move into high school volleyball. There will be an emphasis on foundational skills, team play, offensive and defensive court positioning and mental and physical conditioning, said Brian Millis, who is Bendkowska’s assistant coach with the women’s Avs.
Other camp activities will include scrimmages and some training outside the College of the Rockies gym in the beach volleyball courts. The camp will have a minimum of 12 spots, with a maximum of 40, on a first come, first serve basis. The two sessions will run in the afternoons from Aug.
12-15 and Aug. 19-22. While Bendkowska and Millis will be working with the young talent, they will be getting some help from the women’s Avalanche team, as a few signed and committed athletes for next year’s squad will be around as well. “They come in and help out with the camp and then a portion of the money goes towards the team, so it helps out the program, more or less than anything, and then we give back to the community as well,” said Millis. Anyone wishing to register can find forms on the Avalanche website at: www.cotr.bc.ca/avalanche/
MLB boss insists sport is ‘cleaner than it’s ever been’ RONALD BLUM Associated Press
NEW YORK - With his staff pursuing yet another investigation into performance-enhancing drugs, Commissioner Bud Selig defended baseball’s drug-testing program on the eve of the AllStar game and insisted “this sport is cleaner than it’s ever been.” Selig declined to detail timing for decisions in the probe of the closed anti-aging clinic Biogenesis, accused of distributing performing-enhancing drugs. MLB could attempt to discipline former MVPs Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun along with other players. Baseball began drug testing for the 2003 season, added penalties the following year, banned amphetamines in 2006 and started
HGH blood testing last year. Critics said baseball didn’t move quickly enough. “People say, ‘Well, you were slow to react.’ We were not slow to react,” Selig said Monday. “In fact, I heard that this morning, and it aggravated me all over again.” There were eight violations of the major league drug program last year, and All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera was among those who served a 50game suspension following a positive PEDs test. There have been no suspensions in the big leagues this year. During a question-and-answer session arranged by Politico, a question was sent by Will, identified as an 8-year-old in Los Angeles. He asked: “How old will I be when ... you can say that there are
“I used to object way back when, when people would talk about steroids. They’re not a baseball problem or a football problem or a basketball problem. They’re a societal problem.” Bud Selig no more cheaters in baseball, not one?” “Will, this is what I would say to you,” Selig responded. “I used to object way back when, when people would talk about steroids. They’re not a baseball problem or a football problem or a basketball problem. They’re a societal problem.” Selig, who turns 79
on July 30, also denied his willingness to combat steroids has increased during his time in office, which started in 1992. “Some people say now that I’m over-vigilant because I’m worried about my legacy,” he said. “That’s nonsense. That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard. This is in the best interests of baseball. I was brought up to understand that you are to do what’s in the best interest of this sport no matter what, even if it’s painful, and we’re going to do that.” He maintained the majority of players object to being tainted as playing in what’s referred to as the Steroids Era. “Most players on their team didn’t do anything. They were as clean as could be,” he said. “So the Steroid
Era in short to some people implies, well everybody did it. That’s wrong, and it’s unfair.” According to Selig, Major League Baseball’s decision to hire former U.S. Secret Service director Mark Sullivan to assist in its Biogenesis probe was evidence of baseball’s effort to ensure there are “no stones unturned.” “We have many groups, consulting groups that are working on this whole investigation,” he said. Selig has said repeatedly he intends to retire, only to change his mind. His current term runs through December 2014, and he has made no effort to start planning for a successor. “That’s a subject that I’m going to put off for a while. Right now we haven’t gotten into specifics,” he said.

New Jersey Devils working through Kovalchuk departure TOM C ANAVAN Associated Press
NEWARK, N.J. While caught off-guard by star forward Ilya Kovalchuk’s decision to retire from the NHL and return home to Russia, New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer said his team’s job this season is to prove doubters wrong. Speaking between sessions of a rookie camp, DeBoer said the loss of the 30-year-old Kovalchuk leaves big holes on the team’s top line and specialty teams, and it will create playing time others will have to fill. “We have to. That’s the bottom line,” DeBoer said Monday. “There’s no, ‘What can you do?’ We’re going to have to find a way. That’s going to be the mantra. The league is not going to stand still. I think I’ve used that phrase before. “No one is going to feel sorry for you, the New Jersey Devils. When the puck drops in October, we’ve got to be ready to compete with the guys we’ve got, and
we’ve got a good group of people here.” The Devils reached the Stanley Cup finals in 2012 with Kovalchuk playing a major role, but they missed the post-season this year when they struggled in the second half of the lockout-shortened, 48game season. The future doesn’t look bright without Kovalchuk, who walked away with $77 million left on the 15-year contract he signed in 2010. His defection comes a year after Zach Parise signed with Minnesota as a free agent. “Sure it’s different,” said DeBoer, who said he needed a day to catch his breath after Kovalchuk’s retirement from the NHL was announced on Thursday. “You take out a Parise, you take out a Kovalchuk, those are players that singlehandedly can do some things that only a handful of players in the world can do. So we’re going to have to be a different team and have to play more of a team game.”
Montreal Canadiens player announces retirement C ANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL - Montreal Canadiens forward Blake Geoffrion announced his retirement on Monday. The 25-year-old had been considering stepping away from hockey due to lingering effects of a skull fracture and concussion suffered during an American Hockey League game in November. Geoffrion, the grandson of Canadiens legend Bernie Geoffrion and great-grandson of superstar Howie Morenz, notified general manager Marc Bergevin in March that he might retire. “After suffering an injury in November and taking time to recover and reflect, I have decided to step away from the game of hockey for the time being,” Geoffrion said in a statement Monday.
The six-foot-one centre was skating for the Hamilton Bulldogs when he suffered a depressed skull fracture from a hit by defenceman Jean-Philippe Cote of the Syracuse Crunch during a Nov. 9 American Hockey League game at the Bell Centre.

A powerful tool when you want to reach your potential customers.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Opportunity merges with a sense of responsibility, and your confidence is strengthened as a result. The path in which you choose to head has very good indicators of success. Remain sensitive to a family member who could be facing a difficult time. Tonight: Head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your expectations of a project will be more than reasonable, especially following a very upbeat conversation. A partner or an associate will be on the same page as you, which will add extra pizazz and energy. You are on the same team. Tonight: Go where there is music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Understand that the power you wield is a result of having competence, knowledge and financial backing. Ask someone to join your team in order to make a project better and easier on you. This person’s enthusiasm might surprise you. Tonight: Buy a card on the way home.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might not be aware of how responsive others are at the moment. You are like a locomotive, with the enthusiasm and energy. Others are like the rest of the train, with the expertise and knowledge. Together, you are a winning team. Tonight: Lighten up the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be taken aback by someone’s stubbornness. The less said the better. You might be quite amused by this person’s attitude at first, but by evening, it could get old rather quickly. You will be a bit touchy by late afternoon. Tonight: Don’t hold back. Share your feelings. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a keen sense of direction, and you know what needs to happen. Use your strong support system to create more of what you desire. Someone is quite responsive to your ideas, and he or she will take a lot of the burden off your shoulders. Tonight: Have a long-overdue talk. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For Better or Worse
You might want to take a good look at the basics before you move in a new direction and try to foster a seemingly good idea. If you can be honest with yourself, you might see a weakness in your finances. Weigh the impact of this issue before you act. Tonight: Time for a talk. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What might have seemed difficult now seems much easier. Listen to news from someone at a distance. Evaluate what is happening, then decide if you want to take action. This could involve taking a workshop or listening to a lecture. Tonight: Others are delighted to see you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal directly with someone who holds the purse strings. This person is in this position because he or she has a good sense of what is needed. You might not agree, and you could feel put off. Choose to learn from this person. Ask questions. Tonight: Spend time with a loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be exhausted and looking for a solution. You might
discover how willing others are to be your support system and/ or to pitch in. Pick the people with the most determination and endurance. Meetings keep dotting your calendar. Tonight: Choose what makes you happy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pressure builds, as you could be stressed out by a boss’s requests. You will go out of your way to deliver what this person wants. Even if he or she appears to be stern, it does not mean that is the case, nor does it mean that he or she is not pleased. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know how to read beyond what someone says. You will look at the person in question, and you’ll carefully assess his or her demeanor. Note what he or she does not say as well. You will be able to tell whether a fact or two are missing. Tonight: Where you can relax.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: After my bitter divorce, my son decided to live with his father in another state. I have spent thousands of dollars on airplane tickets, hotels, car rentals and restaurants. I have never forgotten my two grandchildren’s birthdays. Here’s the rub: To save money, I have traveled alone and stayed with my son. Recently, I stayed for four days. After traveling 1,000 miles, I spent two hours in a shuttle because my son did not pick me up at the airport as promised. When I arrived at their house, there was nothing to eat. I had to ask my son to make something, as I do not feel comfortable in their kitchen. My grandson gave up his bed for me, and the room was a mess (to say the least). His bathroom sink and tub were clogged, and my daughter-in-law expected me to clean them. I also had to ask for fresh towels. On one of the four nights, they left me alone while my daughter-in-law went to a concert with her girlfriends and stayed overnight, my grandchildren had sleepovers, and my son went to a bar (he is a hardworking alcoholic). When my granddaughter showed me her 8th grade graduation book, she talked about her loving family and mentioned her grandparents on her mom’s side. (They live close.) She never once mentioned my husband or me. Do I continue to travel all these miles for this type of abuse, or do I go only when I can afford a hotel and car rental? They seem to have busy lives and make no time for this grandma. -- I Have Feelings, Too. Dear Feelings: It’s difficult to be the grandparent who lives far away. It’s expensive to travel, so those visits are infrequent. It takes effort to maintain a close relationship, and it sounds as if your son and his wife prefer not to extend themselves, which is sad. You don’t have to travel more often than you can afford, and be sure to invite your son and his family to visit you, as well. Then find other ways to stay in touch with the grandchildren -- Facebook, email, texting, Skype, letters and phone calls. They need to know you better. Dear Annie: I have learned that a college professor at a major university in my area uses obscenities while teaching his classes. He screams these diatribes at the students every day during his lectures. I saw a video of one of his classes and think the university should be informed. This is not how our young people should be taught. Should I report him to someone? Who? -Frustrated Alumnus Dear Frustrated: If you think this professor’s teaching “technique” poorly represents the university, by all means say something to the dean of his department or the president of the university. Suggest they look into his videos. But understand that it’s up to the university to determine what action is taken, if any. Dear Annie: I am writing in response to the letter from “Loveless and Discouraged,” who went through a program for sex addiction and was discouraged that his wife still does not trust him. Good for the husband for trying to save his marriage, but I’d like to explain his wife’s side of things. I was married for 28 years to a sex addict who tried therapy, relapsed many times and eventually gave up. I wonder whether “Loveless” realizes the intense emotional damage done to a wife who has been repeatedly lied to and cheated on. She needs more time than he expects to focus on herself and to rebuild intimacy. Has he truly apologized? Has he tried to see this through her eyes? Has he been willing to take tests for STDs to reassure her that her health is not in danger? What is he doing to make sure this never happens again? -Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Harvey was born on January 6, 1936 in Fernie, British Columbia. He spent most of his life behind the wheel of an eighteen wheeler. He loved to fish and always talked about going up north to catch a king salmon â&#x20AC;&#x153;the big one!â&#x20AC;? Harvey always had a story to tell or a joke to make you smile. After a short battle with cancer, Harvey passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 7, 2013 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 77 years of age. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Denise. He will be missed by his eight children Cathy (Ken) Currie and their five children; Terry (Debbie) Shingar and their two children; Melvin Shingar; Harv Jr. Shingar; Barry (Dale) Shingar and their three children; Susan (Steve) Beamish; Karen (Lloyd) Umpherville and their three children and Jon (Shawnna) Shingar as well as numerous friends and relatives. He was predeceased by his father Joe Shingar and his mother Abigail Shingar. A memorial service for Harvey will be held at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook on Friday, July 19, 2013 at 2:00 pm. A private family burial service was held prior to the funeral. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com
