Cranbrook shows its generous spirit Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Cranbrook is wearing its generous heart on its sleeve once more, having just been named the biggest givers in Home Depot’s fundraiser for Street Angel this spring. Between May 29 and July 2, customers at the Home Depot store in Cranbrook were asked if

Local Home Depot customers top in Canada during June fundraising drive for Street Angel they would like to donate to Street Angel through the chain’s Orange Door Project. Those donations added up to $7,724. When Home Depot calculated the amount donated by customers as a percentage compared to the total sales at the

store during that time, Cranbrook came out first in Canada. Home Depot matched the customers’ donations dollar for dollar, meaning that on Friday, July 18, the store presented a cheque for $15,448 to Street Angel representatives.

Home Depot’s Barry Mechalchuk said Cranbrook customers really got behind the fundraiser because 100 per cent of the donations went to the local charity, which provides drop-in services for the city’s homeless and at-risk population.

JulyFest keeps police busy RCMP report relatively well-behaved crowds at events, but several incidents outside of official events C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

JulyFest in Kimberley has come and gone, and while the events were filled to capacity, coordinator Dave Clarke reports well-behaved crowds. Kimberley RCMP NCO Cpl. Chris Newel concurs with the well-behaved crowds at events,

but says police did have to respond to over 40 calls for service. “Although bocce players and attendees were relatively well behaved and likely enjoyed the weekend, police dealt with several incidents outside of the festivities,” Newel said. The most serious were two assaults, which occurred early Sun-

day morning. Two persons were taken to hospital with injuries described as “not serious” when an incident at a Chapman Street house party spilled outside. One male from Cranbrook was arrested and will be facing assault charges, Newel said.

“The community support was fantastic,” said Mechalchuk. “The biggest thing was the money stays in Cranbrook and 100 per cent of what was raised goes to the charity.” During the fundraiser, a giant pair of wings was hung inside the

store, alongside a pair of orange doors explaining the project. The fundraising period wrapped up with a barbecue outside the store on July 2. Street Angel’s Shannon Girling-Hebert said the donation will help the charity as it prepares

to relocate from its 14th Avenue location to the former Cranbrook Connections building in Balment Park, beside the skate park. The move is planned for September, and will provide more space for the drop-in centre and the burgeoning nurse practitioner’s clinic, as well as saving money on rent.

Province, feds working to hold back mussel invasion Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Back in late April, council decided to put its support behind a move to prevent invasive mussels from entering B.C.’s lakes and streams. Council directed staff to send a letter to the federal government, reaffirming its support for a 2013 Union of B.C. Municipalities resolution on invasive mussels after receiving correspondence from the

Okanagan Basin Water Board. At the July 14 meeting, council received positive replies from the federal and provincial government. “It basically says they are taking the problem very seriously,” Mayor Wayne Stetski said. “The federal government is developing a regulatory proposal to manage the threat.”

Council paves way for go-kart track Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

City council has paved the way for a proposal to have a gokart track in the city. On July 14, council approved the application for a Steep Slope Development Permit which will enable development of a paved go-kart track. “There’s still a few steps to go, but I think we’re all really excited about hopefully seeing this on the ground and operating one day,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski. At the June 24, 2013 meeting, council approved a zoning amendment which added amusement park including go-

kart track to the permitted uses of the M-2 Zone specific to the property located at 1000 Industrial Road 2. Because the property was designated a Steep Slope Development Permit area, an assessment was completed by McElhanney Consulting Services as part of the development permit approval process. The city received an application for the permit from Chris Hirn to enable development of a property. The go-kart track will consist of a paved track, approximately 365 metres long and six metres wide with a portable trailer on site.

The applicant met with Engineering, Planning and Economic Development staff and was provided the following requirements: • Meet erosion and sediment control requirements. • Provide water/sewer services to the site, or enter into a development agreement with engineering including provision of security to provide services within one year, or alternatively, seek a Development Variance Permit, exempting the site from site servicing requirements for the go-kart use. • Obtain a business license. Coun. Sharon Cross wondered if the process was taking

too long. “This is kind of a seasonal activity and so I’m wondering if the window is slowly closing on his opportunity and I hope that doesn’t impact him too much,” Cross said. “I think, originally when we looked at this over a year ago, it was a three to four month operation.” CAO Wayne Staudt noted that there’s still some ways to go. “As you pointed out, he does have a few more things he has to get done,” Staudt said. “I know he’s been working on the site.” Staudt said Hirn has done quite a bit of work on his own.

Police kept busy for JulyFest weekend Continued from page 1 In addition, police have received a report of a second assault and are investigating that. There also the usual assortment of impaired drivers, drug seizures and public intoxication. “Several impaired drivers were taken off the road; two were 90-day driving prohibitions and the remaining ones three-day,” Newel said. “There

were two drug seizures. Several persons were arrested for being drunk in public. In the majority of cases, police were able to turn them over to sober persons but six were held in custody until sober. A City of Kimberley garbage truck sustained minor damage by an upset patron who was ejected by security for causing a problem. “Police dealt with a number of minor complaints involving noise. On Sunday morning po-

lice received several minor theft complaints. A possible suspect was identified but police are still in the midst of determining if there is enough evidence to pursue a charge. “A number of violation tickets were issued over the weekend, including consuming alcohol in public which carries a $230 fine.” Overall, police were pleased with the behaviour of JulyFest crowds, especially considering

the number of events at maximum capacity. As always, the police presence was very visible, which often helps deter bad behaviour. “A few individuals expressed their displeasure in having to obey the law, but Julyfest does not mean police turn a blind eye,” Newel said. “Overall police were pleased with the attitude and behaviour of the majority of people.”

U.S. boats may be turned back at border to protect against invasive mussels ting policies, procedures and programs in place to protect B.C.’s waters from invasive mussels, there is still much work to be done,” Polak said. “The province will continue to work with federal, provincial and local partners to build support and collaborative approaches to ensure the threat of invasive mussels is addressed.”

Continued from page 1 Under the proposal, Canada Border Service Agencies will have the ability to enforce prohibitions at the Canadian border, which means turning back boats that have the invasive quagga or zebra mussels on them. The increased enforcement ability comes as a result of recent changes to the Fisheries Act which solidifies and makes explicit the authority to address the aquatic invasive species (AIS). “In recognition of the serious threats posed by AIS to Canadian freshwater ecosystems, (Fisheries and Oceans Canada)’s AIS program focuses on activities at the national and regional levels,” Gail Shea, minister of Fisheries and Oceans,

wrote to council. “These activities include scientific research, risk assessment and monitoring, socio-economic analysis, outreach and regulatory development.” Minister Shea referenced the role that the province plays. In the letter from the province, Minister of Environment Mary Polak noted how serious a problem the mussels could be. “A B.C. specific economic impact assessment of zebra and quagga mussel invasion determined these species would cost B.C. $28 million per annum as a conservative estimate,” Polak wrote. “Further, the establishment of these invasive mussels would also adversely impact the viability of

Public given chance to speak at Jumbo hearing Proposed bylaw would pave the way for construction of ski lifts and lodges in resort municipality Ste ve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer

During its most recent council meeting, Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality council gave first and second readings to a zoning bylaw allowing for the construction of ski lifts and lodges. The bylaw received the initial readings at the Tuesday, July 15 council meeting and applies to the controlled recreation area in the higher alpine areas of the municipality, with the exception of the Farnham Glacier. It allows for the land to be developed as a ski area, including the construction of ski lifts and other typical ski resort infrastructure, such as hotels, day lodges, restaurants, retail offices, staff and employee accommodation, ski schools, ski patrol buildings, service and maintenance buildings, and the associated water, sewer, power, communication and transportation systems. “This is for the land that will stay with the provincial government and be leased by the ski hill operator, not any land that will be used for commercial purposes in the base area,” said Jumbo mayor Greg Deck. The Farnham Glacier area of the municipality is covered under a somewhat similar bylaw passed by council in May 2013, although the scope of infrastructure envisioned under the Farnham area bylaw is considerably smaller. The municipality will hold a public hearing on the bylaw on Wednesday, August 6 at 9:30 a.m. at the Prestige Inn in Radium Hot Springs.

ygen, so it has bugs that do much of the hard work breaking down organic materials. McGowan describes the bugs in the first lagoon as grizzly bears. “It’s like a bunch of people standing around a Las Vegas buffet. They don’t care what they are presented with, they are going to eat it in huge quantities.” In the second pond, the bugs get what’s left over – they are lean runners with a narrower diet. And the third lagoon’s bugs are essentially vultures – they will eat anything. What’s more, the temperature in the lagoons gets cooler the

Kimberley and Cranbrook

On a tour of the site with Director of Public Works Joe McGowan, we’ve learnt how the city filters out “floaties” and foreign materials from the wastewater, before billions of microorganisms go to work breaking down the organic material like they’re Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France. There are three lagoons at the wastewater site. Each lagoon is slightly lower than the last, and the wastewater flows from the first pond into the second and then the third. Each lagoon has a different colony of microorganisms. The first pond receives more ox-

further from the source. The first pond is on average seven or eight degrees warmer than the third. There’s two reasons for that: first, wastewater is warm when it leaves your home, because the water picks up the heat in your home as it passes through. Second, the microorganisms generate heat as they are feeding on the organic material. Once the wastewater has flown through the lagoons, it’s now considered “effluent” treated sewage. When it leaves the third lagoon, it goes through another screener – that conveyer belt that it first met at the head of the lagoons – which picks up anything that has fallen into the lagoons along the way, such as bulrushes. It then flows into a large underground chamber. From there, pumps pick up the effluent and force it up the hill into a trunk main that carries the wastewater to Cranbrook’s spray irrigation fields in Mayook. Here, the wastewater sits in two ponds, which add more oxygen to the water so that bugs can continue to work on the little organic material that’s left. Then the effluent – now containing little more than water – goes through an ultraviolet facility the city built in 2012. Here, the water is sent through pipes that contain dozens of fluo-

The water from these taps was once our waste and is now ready to be used for irrigation. rescent lights, which kick off pathogens in the water. The ultraviolet light doesn’t kill the bugs, but it renders them infertile. If you turn on the tap inside the ultraviolet facility, water gushes out – water that bares little resemblance to sewage because the bugs have done such a thorough job of cleaning it. The water is then piped all over the spray fields – 900 hectares of pastures where cattle graze and hay crops grow. Only about 10 per cent of Cranbrook’s wastewater is not used on the spray fields. That 10 per cent is piped to the opposite end of the spray fields to a third lagoon, built in 2011. Before it goes into that lagoon, the water is treated again – at a building that’s the only place a chemical is added to the wastewater. Here, alum is added

to the water, a chemical that settles out the phosphorous. There’s about a thimble full of alum added to each cubic metre of water. From the third lagoon, the water is treated for a final time at a second ultraviolet facility. That is essentially the end for Cranbrook’s hardest working bugs. Their job complete, they are put to rest as the little leftover wastewater is sent into the Kootenay River. Each fall, for two or three weeks, the city empties what is left of the irrigation water it no longer needs into the river, ready to start collecting wastewater over the winter for the coming farming season. McGowan explains that, thanks to those dedicated, hungry bugs, the water the city sends into the Kootenay River is better quality than the spring melt that is already in the river.

Funky and fresh at twin boutiques What’s Up? Popular Fernie fashion store Freyja has opened in Cranbrook, sharing a space with the newly relocated Muriel and Jane’s General Store Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

There’s a trendy new boutique shopping experience in Cranbrook. On July 3, Freyja Lifestyle Fashion opened its second location in Cranbrook, in a space shared by Muriel and Jane’s General Store, which recently moved from its 10th Avenue spot to a new home on 9th Avenue. Laurie Goodlad, owner of Muriel and Jane’s, which opened in 2011, said the new location has more character and was a great opportunity to share a front door with the expansion of the popular Fernie store Freyja. “The two stores complement each other, though they are not combined,” said Freyja owner Chantel Souliere, who grew up in Cranbrook before relocating to Fernie and opening her original store in 2006. Freyja and Muriel and Jane’s are located at 16 – 9th Avenue, in the space previously occupied by the Vanity Room. Muriel and Jane’s takes up the front space, as well as several smaller rooms set up as living space to display homewares. Freyja is located in the space that used to be home to a hair salon. The two business owners met several years ago through Chantel’s mother, a frequent Muriel and Jane’s customer. Chantel first ran several pop-up shops in Muriel and Jane’s in the lead-up to Christmas: a one-evening-only shopping experience where Cranbrook customers could purchase Freyja fashion. These evenings were popular, and Chantel said she had several Cranbrook residents who made the trip to Fernie to visit Freyja, so she knew a second store here was a good

As I said before, it had been an extremely hot day and, when we had at last got ourselves down to where we’d parked my truck, we went to the creek for a refreshing drink. As I have done so often on hot days, I hauled off my T-shirt, soaked it in icy water and draped it over my head. So, when I hauled myself out of the truck in order to have a serious chat with those Albertans who were hindering my progress homeward, I must have been quite an apparition. I still had on my mountain boots, the paint-stained, ripped pants I’d worn all day, and that wet T-shirt draped around my shoulders. As is my wont, I wasn’t sporting my dentures, I hadn’t shaved for a few days and, according to Jill, my remaining hair was dishevelled. Anyway, the surprised men in that vehicle stuttered that they were not in any trouble, merely checking a map. One man, in the driver’s seat, addressed me as ‘pardner’ then sped off as if the demons were on his tail. “You sure got rid of them, Dad,” said Jill after she’d stopped laughing. “Bet they won’t stop till they’ve crossed Crows Nest Pass.” I was wondering if my hair ever looked ‘hevelled’.

JULYFEST SOCCER TOURNAMENT

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

The Unicorns FC won the competitive division of the JulyFest soccer tournament, scoring all five goals in a penalty shootout against the Montana Rapids after a 1-1 draw. Pictured above, back row left to right: Sheldon Vogt, Logan Vogt, Aaron Wagner, Kris Snopek, Dave Nesbitt, Jaron Broom, Ross Hartell, Adam Wagner, Jeff Hamm. Middle row, left to right: Jake Walmsley, Chris Rushworth, Patrick Webb, Mike Hamm. Front row, left to right: Tyler Oddy, Kru Huska, Pat Murphy, AJ Wheaton, Gary Elliot.

Unicorns win JulyFest tournament TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Gary Elliot knew he had to do something different. The Unicorns FC goalkeeper was beaten four times in the shootout, but knew that a save would give his team the chance to win the ‘A’ division championship game of the JulyFest soccer tournament. “I had to change up what I was doing a bit,” said Elliot. “The linesmen don’t want you to jump off the line too much and I noticed a lot of the guys—where they were looking, were going the exact opposite—so I decided if I walk the line, then I’ll have a better chance to make the stop.” The fifth and final shooter for the Montana Rapids stepped up, looked to the left corner, and shot towards the right side of the net. Elliot dove and made the save. The Unicorns, which had scored all four of their previous penalties, only needed Mike Hamm to bury the last one to win the title. He booted a low shot into the left corner, and the Unicorns, along with their fans at the sidelines of the Purcell soccer

fields in Marysville, erupted in celebration. Hamm was well aware of what was at stake when he stepped up to the ball. “I was nervous,” he said, “but tried to get that out of the way because it’s all about confidence in penalty shots. You should score nine out of ten times on a penalty. It’s a big net.” Elliot was named the MVP before AJ Wheaton accepted the Happy Hans trophy, which

hadn’t been captured by a Cranbrook team since 1997. It was a Cinderella-story ending to a match that took a turn for the worse in the second half, after Corey Moore was red-cared upon receiving a controversial yellow card—his second of the game. With roughly 15 minutes remaining, the Unicorns had to play a man down. Still scoreless at that point, the Rapids took

advantage of their extra man, and were rewarded with the opening goal. It was tough to swallow, since the Unicorns had so many glorious chances all game to take the lead. Ross Hartell had put a header over the net, while Jake Walmsley rang a shot off the crossbar. However, Walmsley eventually became the hero for the Unicorns late in the game, poking the ball across the line after the Rapids goalten-

der came out of his net for a challenge. Knotted at 1-1 after full time, the game went directly to penalty kicks to decide the outcome. Walmsley, Wheaton, Hamm, Chris Rushworth, and Jake Broom all converted their dot shots. The Unicorns finished the weekend on top of their pool with two wins and a draw. They won the quarterfinal 3-0 and advanced past the semifinal with a 1-0 win.

Bozon returning to competitive hockey TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

ey.

Tim Bozon is getting back into competitive hock-

The Kootenay Ice import will be representing France at an U23 tournament in the Czech Republic that begins at the end of July. Joining France at the tournament will be top club teams from the host country, Poland and Slovakia. Bozon has been back on the ice and has resumed training following a battle with meningitis earlier in the year. A third-round draft pick of the Montreal Canadiens in 2012, Bozon was hospitalized in March during a road trip through Saskatchewan where he was diagnosed with a severe form of meningitis. He was released after four weeks at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, and promptly returned home to France to begin rehabilitation. He came to the Kootenay Ice in a trade with the Kamloops Blazers last fall. In 203 WHL games, Bozon collected 105 goals and 231 points.

Franson avoids arbitration, signs one-year deal with Leafs C ANADIAN PRESS

THE BEST IN THE FEST: The Cranbrook Ramblers came out on top of the women’s ‘B’ division at the JulyFest soccer tournament, defeating a team out of Calgary 1-0 to clinch the title. The women won two out of three games on Saturday, and defeated the Lethbridge Bumblebee FC 3-0 on Sunday for a berth into the final.

TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs and Cody Franson have avoided arbitration with a one-year contract worth US$3.3 million. It’s the third straight one-year deal for Franson, who missed most of training camp last season after a contract dispute. With this one, the 26-year-old gets a raise from the $2 million he made in 2013-14, when he led all Toronto defencemen with 33 points (five goals, 28 assists) and ranked second in the NHL in hits (282). Franson, a third-round pick of the Nashville Predators in 2005, has 28 goals and 105 assists and a plus-eight rating in 322 career NHL games. The six-foot-five 213-pound native of Sicamous, B.C., was acquired by the Maple Leafs along with Matthew Lombardi from the Predators on July 3, 2011 in exchange for Brett Lebda and Robert Slaney.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Initial confusion is likely to subside once you look at an issue as a control game or a power play. You will know exactly what to do and why you need to proceed in this direction. A friend or loved one’s mental or physical fatigue might be irritating. Tonight: Love the moment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be evaluating the importance of continuing as you have been. A problem involving your family could arise. A purchase might be necessary, and it could force you to wait on a matter you have been pursuing. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will be heard, whether you are debating the pros and cons of an emotional situation or making plans for the weekend. Your sense of direction could be thrown off-kilter, but not for long. Schedule a meeting or make time for a discussion.

Tonight: Hang out with friends. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take a back seat for the moment. You will want to take action, but only after you feel as though you have a complete understanding of what is going on. You also might not have as firm a grasp on a money matter as you think you do. Tonight: Keep it relaxing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to news with a touch of cynicism, and you will be just fine. Go with the flow, and everything will fall right into place. A long-distance call could change your pace and your thoughts. Take another look at what is going on now. Tonight: Where your friends are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others might not intend to drop the ball, but that is what happens. You could feel out of sorts when dealing with a new love interest. Logic will not work here. A partnership will be instrumental in making this situation work. Tonight: Say “thank you” over dinner. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Reach out for more information. Someone you count on could present an alternative perspective. Do not make any snap judgments -- just listen. Something unexpected could throw you off. Tonight: No matter what you do, make sure there is great music around you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Deal with someone directly. You might not be as comfortable with this person as you would like. Tension is likely to build when a project takes an unexpected turn. You might not know what to do. Just step back and observe for now. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Defer to others, as you might have an exciting detour in your plans. Use caution with money, especially if someone tries to manipulate you into his or her type of thinking. A loved one could be delightful yet distracting. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, as you could have more to do than you originally

might have anticipated. A domestic matter is likely to cause some upset. Don’t worry -- you will handle it well. Use care when dealing with a grumpy friend. Tonight: Run errands first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your playfulness will emerge. Your easygoing attitude could be distressing to someone who is determined to have a situation work a certain way. Laughter will surround an interaction involving a grumpy person. Tonight: Add more spice to a relationship. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be happier than you thought possible when you walk away from a controlling friend. Try to open up more, as you might be keeping a lot to yourself. Use good sense with a money matter. A return call could take too long for your taste. Tonight: At home.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: We live five hours from our daughter, “Barbara,” her husband, “Seth,” and their two kids. We visit them once a year. Seth completely ignores us. The last time we arrived, our daughter and grandchildren hugged us, but Seth sat with his back to us. He didn’t even say hello. When my husband went to talk to him, Seth walked out of the room. Each time we go there, he becomes a little worse. We send him birthday and Christmas gifts, and he never responds. We have no idea why he hates us. When he does talk to us, he mostly discusses his new hobby: shooting defenseless animals. He knows we are repulsed by this, yet he prattles on about how he plans to take his daughter with him on hunting trips. He seems to be a good father, although he is very condescending toward our daughter. Barbara claims that Seth is a terrific husband, and she loves being a stay-at-home mom. But she looks pale and thin and rarely smiles. We are worried about her. Maybe Barbara doesn’t want to ruin things for the kids, but honestly, we think she’s delusional. We love her, but don’t know how to change Seth’s attitude. Any ideas? -- Sad Grandparents Dear Sad: The fact that Seth likes to hunt is his business as long as he has the proper licenses. We don’t recommend you debate the issue, because you are unlikely to find common ground. We agree that he is rude, but unless Barbara can convince him to be more polite, it’s best to lower your expectations and ignore his behavior. The more pressing issue is Barbara’s health. Is she truly too pale and thin, or are you projecting? If you believe there is abuse, report it to the authorities. Meanwhile, please reach out to your daughter without denigrating her husband, which will make her defend him. Ask how she’s feeling. Talk to her often. Invite her to bring the kids to visit you, with or without Seth. See for yourself what’s really going on. Dear Annie: I can’t remember the last time my wife and I were intimate. She even refuses to snuggle in bed. It’s not about sex. She pushed me away so many times it put a knife through my heart. I finally gave up. If I try to talk about it, she becomes angry and refuses to discuss it. She refuses counseling, too. We get along fine in other areas, but I guess that’s only a front. I tried counseling on my own and was told to decide whether to stay or move on. I have now found someone else. I talk to her online every day. We’ve hugged and kissed. I have fallen in love, and she says the same, but neither of us wants to destroy our families. Please tell all spouses, male or female, that sex doesn’t have to be the only part of intimacy. Show your spouse you love him or her. My heart is broken that I had to find someone else to fill that gap, but I have no intention of letting her go now. -- No Name Dear No Name: We appreciate your honesty, although cheating is not a satisfactory solution. Would it help if you told your wife exactly what she is risking? If she won’t listen, show her this column. Explain that you will not ask for sex if she will simply show affection. (We realize this is not ideal, but it’s an improvement.) Women often don’t realize how much men need a physical touch to feel loved. Dear Annie: Many years ago, I was in the same position as “Busy Mom,” with five children, farm chores and a huge garden. My house looked lived-in, to say the least. One day, my wonderful aunt said to me, “Don’t worry, Marg. It’s clean dirt.” Bless her heart. -- Manitoba, Canada Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS Duffy accused of charging for travel to funeral, ceremonies in Ottawa

LEE-ANNE GOODMAN Canadian Press

OTTAWA — The RCMP provided fresh details Monday of its 31 fraud charges against Sen. Mike Duffy, accusing him of charging taxpayers for personal travel to funerals and for services from four people, including an Ottawa personal trainer. A new court filing alleges “inappropriate expense claims associated with personal attendance at funeral and related ceremonies.’’ According to the court documents, Duffy filed five separate expense claims that the RCMP alleges involved personal or partisan

travel. The claims were filed from June 2009 to September 2012. Duffy is also accused of fraudulently awarding a $65,000 contract to his longtime friend, Gerald Donohue. The RCMP allege that Donohue, in turn, paid some of that money to three other people, including a personal trainer. Donohue has already told investigators that he did “no tangible work’’ for the money. The RCMP announced last week it was charging Duffy with 31 criminal counts related to his expense claims, accusing him of misspending more than $200,000. HENDERSON, Catherine Jeanette “C.J.” April 27, 1941 July 16, 2014

Catherine Jeanette “C.J.” Henderson passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 surrounded by her loving family. Born C.J. Colquhoun on April 27, 1941 in Toney River, Nova Scotia. After graduating from Pictou Academy High School in 1958, C.J. went on to graduate in nursing from Aberdeen Hospital in 1961. During her nursing training, she secretly eloped and married the lover of her life, David Henderson in 1960. In 1965, with little money, few belongings, and three young children, C.J. and Dave headed west to B.C. for a new life and settled in Cranbrook where she worked at the Cranbrook Hospital. Four years later, the family moved to Wycliffe Park and resided there for seventeen years. C.J.’s fondest memories were at Wycliffe Park and she enjoyed many happy summers around her pool and loved it when friends and neighbours would stop by for a swim. Even though she considered B.C. her true home, she was always proud of her maritime heritage. C.J. continued her nursing at the hospital and later went on to be a big part of the home care nursing program. She was driven, had a strong work ethic, and was never afraid to storm into the doctor’s lounge and speak her mind. “Surely in arguing she had her skill, for even when vanquished she would argue still.” Her passion as a nurse carried over with her diagnosis this past spring, and as her illness progressed, it was her hope that her knowledge and experience in the medical field, along with her sometimes brutal honesty, would encourage positive changes in palliative care. C.J. handled her illness with unbelievable composure right up to her final few days. C.J. was the proud mother to Megan (Chris Obst), Grant (Shannon), and Robin (Geoff) MacLeod, and grandmother to Freddie and Oscar Obst, Colby and Danni Henderson, and Marty, Wyatt, and Hayden MacLeod. She is also survived by her two sisters Elaine (Aubrey) MacLeod and Jackie (Eric) Ross, both of Nova Scotia. C.J. was predeceased by her husband Dave and parents John and Violet Colquhoun. C.J. could not express enough how much she loved her family and how much of an inspiration her husband and kids were to her. In lieu of flowers, donations in C.J.’s memory may be made to Family Palliative Room c/o East Kootenay Foundation for Health, #13-24th Ave. North, Cranbrook, B.C. V1C 3H9. Drop in between 1 and 3 o’clock for an informal celebration of life at the upper level of Wycliffe Park on Friday, July 25, 2014.

The charges stem from the disgraced senator’s housing and travel expenses, and a $90,000 payment from Nigel Wright, the former chief of staff to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Duffy has denied any criminal wrongdoing. Neither Duffy nor his lawyer, Donald Bayne, would comment on the new information, referring the news media to a statement released last week, when the RCMP first laid the charges.

The Conservative-appointed senator is to appear in court Sept. 16. The NDP’s Peter Julian says as more details emerge about Duffy’s alleged crimes, the questions reach all the way to Harper’s office. He says it’s time for the prime minister to “come clean.’’ “As more of the details come out, Canadians are asking: ‘What does and what did the prime minister know,

and when did he know it?’ That’s the question he’s yet to answer and he must answer.’’ In April, the RCMP concluded there wasn’t enough evidence to charge Wright. The prime minister had previously insisted Duffy repay his expenses, but the senator said he didn’t have the money. Wright then stepped in and wrote a personal cheque for $90,000 to Duffy to help him cover his expenses.

NOT IN THE BROCHURE

Special federal site would warn of terror risks abroad JIM BRONSKILL Canadian Press

OTTAWA — The federal government is looking at creating a special web page that underscores the risks of travelling to parts of the world with a high incidence of terrorist activity. The information portal would be aimed at raising awareness among everyone from prospective tourists to those who might be tempted to join a foreign conflict. Artur Wilczynski, the Foreign Affairs Department’s di-

rector general of international security and intelligence, outlined the proposal to a group of community advisers from various ethnic groups, documents released under the Access to Information Act show. The idea emerges amid bloody fighting in Gaza and an outpouring of grief over a missile attack in Ukraine that downed a passenger jet and killed all 298 people aboard, including a Canadian. The presentation to the Cross-Cultural Roundtable on Security warned that Canadi-

ans heading abroad could be hurt or killed in a terrorist attack, kidnapped, or drawn into extremist activities. They travel to areas where terrorism may be happening to conduct business, visit family, help global causes and, in rare instances, to participate in terrorist activities, says the presentation delivered to a closeddoor meeting in Gatineau, Que., in November. Canadians may wish to take part in relief efforts, support a political cause or report on a conflict, the presentation

notes say. “The impulse to help is understandable, but Canadians who decide to travel to a conflict zone should be aware of the risks they are taking.’’ The proposed new website would complement existing federal travel advisories found at travel.gc.ca, it adds. “Information is largely organized by country, but we are considering developing a specific page on risks related to terrorism.’’
