Teachers happy mediator joining in negotiations TRE VOR CR AWLEY Daily Townsman

As summer begins to wind up, the teachers’ union and the provincial government are still in negotiations for a new bargaining agreement following action from both sides last spring. Teachers in Trail headed back to the picket lines last week, however, there are no immediate plans for local educators to do the same, according to Shelley Balfour, president of Cranbrook District Teachers’ Association. “Our job action would begin in the last week of August,” said Balfour. “No plans as of now.

Teachers are still locked out from the schools, they can’t go into the schools—that part is still going on—but we are not picketing any of the local sites at this time.” Teachers generally use the latter half of August to get into classrooms and prepare for a new school year, she added. On Friday, the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public Schools Employers’ Association issued a joint statement indicating that veteran mediator Vince Ready will be engaging both sides in order to get serious negations rolling.

For the second time this week, swift response by neighbours and the volunteers of the Baynes Lake Fire Department quickly contained four small fires in the tiny rural community of Kragmont near Baynes Lake. “This afternoon, a lightning bolt hit a fence, creating an arc that lit four separate fires within 300 metres of the original strike,” explains Jaffary / Baynes Lake Fire Chief Dave Boreen.

“Had it not been for the quick action of the neighbours who saw the fire start and the assistance of the truck and firefighters from Baynes Lake, the situation could have been a lot worse.” The four fires were very quickly brought under control, but Boreen says it serves as a reminder to everyone in the region about the continued dry conditions.

Campfire ban lifted in region as fire rating fall to moderate-low Staff

A campfire ban in the Southeast Fire Centre was rescinded on Friday due to cooler weather and recent precipitation that has resulted in a decreased wildfire risk. Campfires are permitted, however, open fires are still prohibited. The fire danger rat-

ing in the Cranbrook and Kimberley region has fallen from high-extreme to moderate-low. “The Cranbrook and Kimberley area right now is moderate to low,” said Fanny Bernard, a fire information officer. “The area is moderate and there are low areas west of Cranbrook.

Driver arrested after hit and run Friday night On August 15, 2014, at 11:55 p.m., Cranbrook RCMP responded to a collision on Victoria Avenue and 8th Street North. A newer model GMC Jimmy collided with another vehicle on Victoria Avenue. The driver of the Jimmy fled the scene, but was apprehended by police a short time later. The driver, a 39-year-old male from Grand Forks, was arrested and released on charges of impaired driving and failure to remain at the scene of a collision. Victoria Avenue was closed down for almost one hour due to the police investigation. There were minor injuries as a result of this incident.

And that’s not just due to the rain, but due to cooler weather. And there’s also cooler weather forecast, and that’s why we decided to rescind the fire ban, because it’s not just this amount of rain that we’ve had, it’s also the rain that’s forecast for the next few days as well, that’s going to significantly reduce the risk of campfires.” Campfires must not be larger than a half-metre high or wide and mustn’t be left unat-

tended. A ban on open fires remains and applies to the burning of any waste or slash in burn barrels, stubble or grass fires and fireworks. Just because the campfire ban has been lifted, people still need to take precautions, said Bernard. “Half-metre by half-metre fire is what’s permitted and people need to remove flammable materials or debris around the campfire and have a shovel or at least eight litres of

water to properly extinguish the fire before they leave the area,” said Bernard. The Southeast Fire Centre covers the area extending from the U.S.A. border in the south to Mica Dam in the north and from the Okanagan Highlands and Monashee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. It includes the Selkirk Natural Resource District and the Rocky Mountain Natural Resource District.

Crime spree suspects taken into custody Sar ah Kucharski The Free Press

Following a four day crime spree in the valley, Elk Valley RCMP arrested two male suspects and took them into custody. The two suspects are in their twenties and were arrested for a se-

ries of offences that occurred between the Crowsnest Pass, the Elk Valley and Cranbrook over a span of four days. Police are uncovering further evidence in their active investigation to these crimes,

according to a release sent out on Wednesday. Approximately 20 criminal charges are being laid against both suspects who have a pending appearance in court.

VANCOUVER — Legal experts say a criminal case involving a polygamous sect in B.C. will probably reignite a debate over whether the ban on multiple marriages violates the right to religious freedom. Both Winston Blackmore and James Oler face charges of having multiple marriages in a religious commune near Creston in southeastern B.C. known as Bountiful. In 2011, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled the ban on multiple marriages did not violate the charter after hearing a constitutional reference case, but legal experts say it probably will not prevent another challenge. Nicholas Bala, a law professor at Queen’s

Winston Blackmore University, says he expects the criminal case to be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, whatever the outcome. Beverley Baines, another Queen’s University law professor, says a legal challenge could succeed without arguing about religious free-

dom. Baines, who believes the law should be struck down, says the defence could claim there is no proof polygamy is always harmful to women and children. None of the allegations against Oler and Blackmore have been proven in court.

Finding art in the animals Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

An icon of the taxidermy world will be closing its doors in the next few weeks as Odd Aasland of Aasland Taxidermy and his wife Joyce retire. Odd has spent 65 years on the craft of taxidermy and has been at the Highway 2B location for over 40 years. They built the current location in 1972, but arrived in Cranbrook in 1964. “We had a shop downtown before we came out here,” Odd said. “It had been a store. It was on Baker Street, but was located in the building that burned down.” He said they built the present location with the idea that it would be a taxidermy shop as well as a museum. “We got so busy with the taxidermy that we never got around to getting the museum to the point where we wanted it,” he said. Joyce said that hasn’t stopped them from having groups and those passing through from touring the workshop/museum. They’ve had school kids, as well as students of biology, art and nature. “Taxidermy is a complex art and sculpting is a major part of it,” said Odd. “We have

a lot of students who are interested in art. We get visitors from the Canadian Institute of the Blind, who had never been able to get their hands on a real duck or real badger. This gives them an opportunity to see what they’re like and the structure. As far as school kids are concerned, we get a lot of school kids who are studying anatomy and something like that with this extensive skulls collection. They learn the difference between omnivores, herbivores and carnivores. They are always quite fascinated with seeing the skulls from different animals as well.” The Aaslands have began moving some of the specimens out, but there is still quite a large selection of the collection there. “What we’re looking for now is a home for some of these things,” he said. Odd said he became interested in Taxidermy when he was a kid and would see the mounted critters and animals in the sporting goods stores. “I think I was probably around 6, 7 years old at that time, but it just carried on,” he said. Eventually he took a correspondence courses and got a diploma. Odd’s work goes far be-

yond the simply mounting the hides on a mannequin. He takes pride in the very meticulous work that goes into creating the sculptures as well as the lifelike and anatomically correct animal mounts. He said taxidermy is a complex art where you have to be a sculpture, tanner and artist. His work is museum-quality and in fact many of his works are exhibited in museums. Even the rocks, made of foam or other lightweight materials, are indistinguishable from real rock, until you pick them both up. The many animals that look down from the walls are just a fraction of the mounts that he’s down. There are deer, sheep, bears, elk and moose, but then there are also more exotic ibex, water buck and kudu. Odd also has an extensive animal skull collection. If you have an interest in animals, you owe it to yourself to stop by the museum before it is closed down for good. Odd and Joyce wish to thank all their clients and friends for supporting them over the past many years.

Teachers are happy mediator is involved

Happy 100th

Continued from page 1

“Mr. Ready met separately with the parties on August 13. Mr. Ready agreed to monitor the situation and to resume exploratory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be productive,” read part of the release. Balfour is encouraged by Ready’s involvement in the talks between the BCTF and the BCPSEA. “For us, that’s good news, we’re happy it’s Vince Ready,” said Balfour. “We’re happy that mediation is being considered. They’re still in very preliminary talks right now, but the fact that they’re willing to mediate is fantastic and we’re willing to still carry on with our plans, unless something changes drastically. “But the fact that he’s here — I’m very optimistic.” Ready has worked as a mediator in labour disputes for over 30 years. “Vince has been involved with the teachers on a variety of occasions,” Balfour added. “He’s a very fair-minded individual. I was in arbitration with Vince and he’s a straight-shooter, he’s tough, but fair, so I was excited to hear it was him.” The BCTF and the provincial government have been at odds over terms

for a new collective bargaining agreement, which came to a head in May. Teachers began with withdrawing administrative services in April, while the provincial government responded with a lockout. BCTF job action escalated to a fullscale strike in June and the two sides have been at odds since then. While movement has been made on wage packages, both sides are still far apart on a variety of issues that include class sizes and composition. Additionally, the provincial government appealed a ruling by the B.C. Supreme Court last February that a law restricting teachers’ bargaining rights was unconstitutional. The appeal will be made in October, with a decision coming down within a few weeks or months afterwards. Strike action will depend on the state of current negotiations leading up to the end of the month, said Balfour. “Our local isn’t going to do anything till the end of August. We’re giving them time to get seriously negotiating here and then we’ll beef up our strike action at the end of August if we have to,” Balfour said.

ONE FOR THE BUCKET LIST. Tory McKinnon turned 100 years old on Saturday, August 16 and was feted at a special birthday part at the United Church. One thing Ms. McKinnon had always wanted was to ride in a fire truck. Not only did Kimberley Fire Department members Noah and Colton show up at her door to grant her wish, they drove her to her party in the Engine. It was a great surprise, and thrill, for the birthday girl. Happy Birthday, Tory McKinnon.

Wax Mannequin returns to Cranbrook Ferdy Bell and

“Performing solo gives me flexibility and longevity. I thrive in tours that’d be impossible for most bands. I’m a cockroach: almost indestructible... and I consume decaying matter.” So says art-rocker Christopher Adeney of Hamilton, Ontario, known throughout the international hipster intelligentsia by his stage moniker of Wax Mannequin. Having made a well-respected name for himself through 15 years of bizarre but enjoyable avant-garde songwriting, Wax Mannequin returns to Cranbrook on Tuesday, August 19, at Dewey’s Pub. “My mission remains the same,” Adeney explains. “I enjoy writing and performing songs for people, so I do this as often as possible. I also enjoy surprises. Travelling’s taught me a lot about people. I was socially awkward until I started touring constantly, and had to learn how to relax and communicate properly in order to survive. Travel’s also influenced my songwriting. I tour new songs before I record them, which helps refine the tunes. There’s an immediacy that’s demanded in a live performance, and this shapes the production on my records. I like telling stories with my music; political stories, love stories, strange stories. I also learned how to tie all those stupid knots I never figured out in

Wax Mannequin Boy Scouts.” As a well-seasoned road warrior, Adeney’s cross-Canada adventures take him into one strange scene after another. “I recently played mainstage at the ArtsWells Festival with my band,” he recalls. “Things always get a bit off the rails there, especially on Saturday night. It was midnight; the main hall was wrapped in strange cloth and sparkling paper decorations. It’s a big old wood building, so I was especially careful to feel relaxed

about wearing a lit candle on my head. The show was explosive fun. We had a lot of things rehearsed; special guests and beautiful dancers ... but by the end of the set, so many unexpected and sexy friends had climbed on stage that the performance became a warped music orgy.” Even after years of trotting his odd muse about to the world at large, Adeney shows no sign of slowing his pace. “I’m recording another full-length album, and a few

short 7” records. I’m always writing new songs, but I’m especially having a lot of fun with my Singular Songs project. I produce and record one-of-akind songs and embed them in my candles. I delete the raw tracks, so there’s only one copy of each song in existence...inside the candle. I sell these candles at my shows. I also have self-portrait candles that contain my entire six-album discography embedded inside on digital media. You have to burn the candle to get the music out; I’m sinister that way.” Through the years, Adeney’s stage presence as Wax Mannequin has theatrically shifted, not unlike the whackier characters David Bowie once tested. From his early Gabe Kotter / frazzled schoolteacher garb, and through his leather-jacketed “President of Indie Rock” phase, Adeney now brings the “Wax” in Wax Mannequin to literal life. “I’ve reached my final, fully-evolved form. I perform with a lit candle on my head. There are balloons, sparklers and other shenanigans at every show. It always feels like a super fun, evil birthday party. You should see for yourself.” Wax Mannequin returns to Cranbrook Tuesday, August 19, at Dewey’s Pub (York Hotel, 10th Avenue South), with special guests Death Carpet; showtime 9 p.m.

Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo registration deadline coming soon Submit ted

If you want to ride in the second annual Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo you’d better get your act together quickly because the registration deadline Aug. 31 is coming up faster than a downhill spin on the Tour de France. Registration in the popular event has already matched last year’s total of 271 and organizers are hoping for at least 350 entrants in this year’s ride, says head Fondo organizer and Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club member Glenn Dobie. “Last year we had a late registration rush and we got more than 60 in the final week. Hopefully, it will be the same this year and we’ll have more than 350 registered in the end.” Registrations are pouring in from all over the Kootenays as well as other parts of BC, Alberta, the U.S. and one from as far away as Oxford, England. Registration can be completed in less than five minutes on-line at www.KRGF.ca . Any other information registrants need can be found at the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo site on Facebook. This year’s major sponsor is Taylor Adams Chartered Accountants. The money raised will go to the Cranbrook-Kimberley Rails to Trails Society and Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club’s “Paint the Train” project now nearing

completion at the Railway Museum site in Cranbrook. Other funds will go to Rotary charitable programs in the community and abroad as well as other local service group projects. “This shows what a broad-based community endeavor the Fondo really is,” says Dobie. Last year’s Gran Fondo raised $ 21,000 with $4,000 going for maintenance and upgrading of the Rails2Trails project which has become one of the most popular attractions in the region for tourists and locals alike. Interest is surging in this year’s Gran Fondo with national nutritional brand Clif Bar coming aboard last week as a nutritional sponsor and supplying all riders with nutrition bars and gels during the event. Every rider in the event will get a swag bag with a T-shirt, water bottle, and mini-flashlight. pen and a course map to help them through the route. In a major route change this year, all cyclists will pass through the Kimberley Platzl giving an opportunity for friends and supporters to take pictures and shout encouragement from the sidelines while relaxing over a beverage or a meal in one of Kimberley’s coffee shops or restaurants. Like last year, the ride will start and end at the St. Eugene Mission Golf Resort and Casino with a post ride buffet dinner provided by the resort’s catering staff and live

entertainment by, “The Testers,” a popular local Rock & Roll band. There will also be prizes awarded for the Best Team Spirit sponsored by The Heid Out Restaurant and Brew House and a King and Queen of the Mountain Award (Open & Masters Age Groups) for the fastest time up the grueling, eight per cent, Fort Steele Hill sponsored by the Pedal and Tap Restaurant in Kimberley.eid Out HHh Once again there will be three distances in the event.

Cyclists will be fully supported along the way with water, Gatorade, Clif nutritional products, fresh fruit and first aid stations as well as mechanical support, ride marshals and signs marking the way. Some riders treat the Gran Fondo as a race, but the majority ride for fun and some exercise. “You really can’t beat the beauty of our ride. You cross three rivers and ride through a variety of the terrain that is just jaw dropping beautiful,” commented Dobie. That’s why you need to register online by 11:59 p.m. Aug. 31 or you will miss out on one of the region’s premier recreational events. Submitted by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club

A symptom of debased debate

M I C H A E L D E N TA N DT

ver so slowly, or perhaps not so slowly, Canadian political dialogue is devolving into a mosh pit where even the vilest personal attacks are more or less routine. Anonymity — on newspaper comment streams, on Twitter and in other social media — is surely a factor. But it’s not the only one. And there are, rather amazingly, remedies available for this particular problem. Why aren’t they being applied? Is it because we collectively, secretly, enjoy the wallow? Early Saturday, while Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was in Winnipeg, someone broke into his home in Ottawa, where his wife and three small children lay sleeping, moved some stuff around, and left a threatening note. The contents of the note have not been disclosed. Police are investigating. Most people who suffer home invasions describe it as akin to an assault or violation. Breaking into someone’s house in the night, for the sole purpose of intimidating or frightening a woman and her children, is the worst kind of cowardice, base almost beyond comprehension. Reaction to such an act, without exception you’d think, would be revulsion. But no. On Twitter – home to all important Canadian political debate now that Question Period in the Commons has become a set piece – some revelled in the news. Hug-a-terrorist Justin Trudeau, targeted by home-invading thugs; what fun! There were Tweets mockingly tying the break-in to Trudeau’s stance on marijuana. Maybe the burglars were after pot! Ho ho. Others tried, clumsily and with the hackneyed spelling so common in Twitter’s nether parts, to be sardonic. Some prominent conservative commentators stepped in to stem the flow of bile: “Pardon me if I don’t join the chorus mocking #Trudeau in,” Tweeted radio and

TV host Charles Adler Saturday. “Not a fan of his politics and that’s irrelevant. This is about his family.” Bob Plamondon, a conservative author, weighed in: “Would scare the hell out of me – protection should be provided.” By Sunday morning, as far as I could see, the foulest Tweets had been airbrushed away. Now, here’s what’s interesting about the episode: The venom wasn’t one-sided. As quickly as Trudeau haters popped up to dine out on the break-in, Stephen Harper-haters piled on with their own equally anile attacks — alleging variously that Conservative party stooges carried out the break-in, that Prime Minister Harper personally bore full responsibility, and that Harper himself is a [insert unprintable here]. Tweeters who spew venom at Harper alone are Liberal partisans, primarily, because the Dipper haters have a distinguishing feature: They despise both Harper and Trudeau equally. Let’s dispense with the obvious, which is that no one can credibly blame the isolated act of a criminal or nut on anyone but the nut. Two Quebec elections ago a gunman opened fire during then-premier Pauline Marois’s victory speech, killing Denis Blanchette, 48, and critically wounding Dave Courage, 27. Attempts were made at the time to cast that as political. But these can have little traction, unless the violence is explicitly politically incited. No one in the current Canadian political sphere has ever come remotely close to inciting violence against a candidate or his family, thank goodness. But the reactive bilge water on Twitter? That does have feed stock. The Conservative party has since April of 2013 indulged in organized mockery and vilification, aimed at Trudeau personally. The intent of this messaging is to belittle and demean. That is not something the Conservative party can disavow. Nor can they deny that their attack ads – against Trudeau, and

predecessors Bob Rae, Michael Ignatieff and Stephane Dion — have contributed to a debasing of Canadian political dialogue. Debasement is the whole point of the ads. At the same time, neither the Liberal or New Democrat camps have done much – read, nothing – to stem the thriving trade in Harper demonology in social media. The personal loathing of Harper routinely expressed on Twitter by some partisans is beyond mindless. What could be done? Quite a bit. To begin, the prime minister, to whom all Canadians look for leadership, could ditch the stupidest of his party’s attack ads and begin speaking positively, regularly and publicly about how he hopes to build a better country. He’ll have an ideal opportunity to do so this week, as he embarks on his annual Arctic summer tour, traditionally a moment when, according to the spin, he gives free rein to his gentler side. Second, all the parties, their MPs and officials could aggressively block their own partisans who engage in personal debasement in social media. The standard should be the law against defamation – which still applies, even on the web, though enforcement is all but impossible – and time-tested standards of common courtesy and decency. Third, online anonymity, in social media and news comment streams, should be abolished. That is a step that publishers can take. It would require some re-jigging, and might crimp online traffic at the outset. But it would have an immediate salutary effect on the quality of public debate in Canada, and would also target bullies. Let individuals be responsible for what they say; everything they say. Then, watch how the haters creep back into the shadows. Michael Den Tandt is a columnist with Postmedia News

The Cranbrook Professional Rodeo is in the books once again and the 28th edition of the annual dust up was a success. Despite less than promising forecasts, the weather didn’t keep fans away as the stands were packed for each night with rodeo aficionados streaming into the Wycliffe Exhibition Grounds. Those in attendance weren’t disappointed as they witnessed some great rides from some of the world’s most talent cowboys and cowgirls. “We had very good crowds. We had great weather,” said Dallas

Stay vicious

Mackie, chair of the Cranbrook Professional Rodeo committee. “[We were] very lucky. Because of the rain we never had to use the water truck, which is always a plus. “All of [the rodeos] have been pretty successful. We had an awesome gate Saturday night…I would call it very much a success.” Chad Besplug of Claresholm, Alta. led the way with an impressive ride atop “Pirate Style” in bull riding competition. Besplug landed himself a score of 83 points to take the bull-riding title as one of only three registered rides out of 15 entries. The brawny, battering bulls along with the rest of the rodeo stock were provided by the Vold Rodeo Company. “You have to have quality rodeo stock,” Mackie said Sunday afternoon. “Wayne Vold has been our contractor from the very beginning. He has taught us lots about rodeo. “He’s very knowledgeable.” Colin Adams of Deloraine, Man. edged Calgary’s Kyle Bowers by a half point en route to claiming the bareback riding champion-

ship. Adams rode “Tweety Bird” to a weekend-best score of 83. Jake Brown took home a decisive victory in the saddle bronc competition. The native of Ponoka, Alta. registered a score of 83.5 atop “Fools Turn” while second-place Jim Berry came in with a score of 81.5. While Brown claimed clear victory in saddle bronc, the steer wrestling portion of the weekend ended with a tie atop the leaderboard. Baillie Milan (Cochrane, Alta.) and Tyson Willick (Blaine Lake, Sask.) each tackled their steers in 3.5 seconds to split the top prize of the weekend, while Layne Delemont just missed out on making it a threeway knot as he finished the job in 3.6 seconds. In ladies barrel racing, Julie Leggett of Kamloops, B.C. raced around the arena in a flash, crossing the line in 17.102 seconds to bring home the $1,150.52 prize. Randall Christlie laid claim to top spot in tiedown roping with a time of 7.9 seconds. The top earners for the weekend were the steer wrestlers as Milan and Willick each took

home $1,584.98 for their efforts. An easily overlooked detail is the work of the volunteers at the Cranbrook Professional Rodeo. Not only do cowboys and cowgirls travel from across North America to compete, volunteers come to Cranbrook to pitch in as well. “You couldn’t do it without sponsors and volunteers,” Mackie said. “The volunteers we have, most of them come out of our families…It’s a heritage sport and most people that are in rodeo that know about rodeo, grew up with rodeo and have passed it on.” Tom Myhre has lost count of how many years he has volunteered, but the number is closing in on 20. What makes Myhre’s contributions different from other volunteers, is that he travels from Spokane, Wa. every year just to open gates at the Cranbrook Professional Rodeo. “There’s quite a few people that come from a country background, I guess you could call it,” Myhre said. “A lot of the kids grew up with it and just keep going. It’s a cowboy heritage.”

Barbarians fall to Jaw Breakers in season finale Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Bavarian Barbarians and Moose Jaw Jaw Breakers battled to the bitter end, putting on a entertaining roller derby bout at a jampacked Marysville Arena Aug. 16. “That’s one of the things we love about derby,” said Pamela ‘Rock ‘n’ Rogue’ Nevlud. “When you get a good crowd, it makes the game so much better. It’s better for the crowd and it’s better for [the players] too. “We had a way bigger turnout than we expected and that was just really cool to skate to.” The Jaw Breakers

came out at the end of the night with the decisive edge on the scoresheet, topping the hosts by a final score of 163102. “They play a completely different strategy than us,” Nevlud said. “That definitely threw us off. “Their blockers were really good. They were really solid, really strong and our jammers definitely felt it.” The Barbarians got a quick start on the visitors before surrendering the lead for good. By halftime, the bruising crew from the Lil’ Chicago Roller Derby League had pulled ahead 97-61.

Penalties got the best of the Barbarians as the squad gave up numerous power-jam opportunities to the Jaw Breakers, simply unable to deal with the size and strength of the Moose Jaw blockers. It was an emotional night for the Barbarians, as they said goodbye to star jammer Krystal ‘Stroker’ Moreau. The spitfire skater is leaving the team after moving to Fort St. John. “She’s our number-one jammer and a great derby player,” Nevlud said of Moreau. “Most of us hope to one day be as good as her.” The Barbarians now hit the offseason with

training camp slated to begin in January 2015. The squad will also host “Fresh Meat” camp in November (date to be determined). “Fresh Meat” is an opportunity for those interested in derby to learn the rules, skate and get a taste for the sport. Whether one is interested in playing, officiating, or volunteering, “Fresh Meat” covers derby basics. The hope for 2015 is through bringing in new skaters, officials and volunteers from “Fresh Meat” camp, the Barbarians will be able to help facilitate the rebirth of Cranbrook’s former East Kootenay Roller Derby League franchise.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I recently purchased a new home. It took us a while to reach this point. In the course of trying to purchase, we were offered help by a good friend, “Mary,” who lives 1,500 miles away. Mary referred us to her mortgage lender, also 1,500 miles away. We engaged the lender, who worked hard, but things didn’t move as quickly as we needed, and we lost a large deposit on the house, along with the costs of an appraisal and inspection. This was money we could ill-afford. We recently found another house and used a local mortgage lender. Everything went smoothly, and we’ll be moving soon. Here’s the problem: Last month, Mary called to chew me out because we didn’t use her mortgage person. I told Mary that we lost a lot of money due to that person’s inability to help us, and we’ve moved on. Mary was mean and nasty and hung up on me. I haven’t heard from her since. Mary and I have known each other for 30 years, and we’ve been through a great many of life’s ups and downs. She’s like a sister to me, and our husbands get along well, too. I was astonished that she would be so obtuse about what we’d been through. Mary often reacts like this when she’s angry, but I wonder why it’s up to me to make the effort to fix things. Should I reach out to her? It saddens me that such a longtime friendship would end this way, but I’m ready to let it go. -- Arizona Dear Arizona: Mary is what we call high maintenance. She is emotionally demanding, cuts you off when you don’t put her first and then forces you to do the hard work of repairing the friendship. Over time, this behavior becomes tiresome, and we don’t blame you for having had enough. Mary lives 1,500 miles away. Consider distancing yourself from the friendship, bit by bit. Let Mary make the next move, whenever that is, and you can maintain the level of friendship that best suits you. In the meantime, please try to find new friends in your current location. Dear Annie: “Heartbroken” says she is in her mid-50s and hasn’t been intimate with her husband for several years. She wonders whether her husband just doesn’t care anymore. My wife could have written that. For the past three decades, my wife had no problem putting our relationship last behind the kids, her job, her mother and her hobbies. Now that the kids are grown, her mother has died and she’s retired, she’s dumbfounded as to why we don’t have a closer relationship. I made a commitment “until death us do part,” and I’ll keep it. But after trying unsuccessfully for years to build a deeper relationship (including counseling), I developed other interests. If my wife is feeling our relationship is emotionally empty, it’s because this is the relationship she built. You reap what you sow. -- Moved On Dear Moved On: We understand why your marriage has reached this point, but your unwillingness to give your wife another chance indicates that you are punishing her for the damage she caused. It is counterproductive to let the marriage slowly die rather than ask your wife to come with you for counseling to repair things. We’re talking about the rest of your life. You can still have a rewarding marriage, but you both have to work on it. Now is your opportunity. Finally. Dear Annie: I found the letter from “A.” so refreshing. The mother told her son that certain events require a personal phone call instead of a text message, and then he did it. What magic did she use? Communication. She told him calmly what she wanted, it was reasonable, and he did it. People can’t read your mind. Stop acting affronted and insulted or stewing in your own replay of past events, and communicate calmly. -- Not Karnack Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS Canada in the First World War

Ross rifle more peril than protection for soldiers J o h n Wa r d Canadian Press

When soldiers in the throes of battle discard their rifles and pluck a different weapon from the hands of dead allies, there’s clearly a serious problem. So it was with the Ross rifle, the weapon that Canadian soldiers took with them to the start of the First World War a century ago. It was the brainchild of Sir Charles Ross, a wealthy Scottish-born engineer and inventor who offered it to the Canadian government as

a military firearm well before the war began. To Sir Sam Hughes, Canada’s minister of militia — defence minister in modern parlance — at the time, the Canadian-built Ross was highly accurate and the perfect tool for his soldiers, whom he saw as frontier marksmen. But troops, some of whom sneered at the rifle as “the Canadian club,’’ soon discovered the Ross was not suited to dirty, rough-andtumble trench warfare. They preferred the robust Lee-Enfield car-

ried by their British comrades, picking them up from the battlefield when they could. The .303-calibre, straight-pull Ross was longer than the Lee-Enfield, a problem in the cramped confines of the trenches. It was heavier, too, and in a day when infantrymen were over-burdened, any extra weight was unwelcome. When fired with its bayonet attached, it tended to shed the bayonet. The Ross was also susceptible to jamming from dust and dirt and was very finicky about the quality of ammunition. The carefully machined cartridges made by the Dominion Arsenal worked fine, but not so the mass-produced British ammunition, which could vary in size beyond the Ross’s fine tolerances. Further, it was easy to reassemble the Ross bolt incorrectly. Even when misassembled, the bolt would fit in the rifle and even chamber and fire a cartridge, only to slam back into the rifleman’s face — unheard of for most bolt-action rifles. The Canadian authorities tried hard to convince the troops

Canadian Soldiers Turning in Their Mark 2 Ross Rifles, Kingston, Ontario, June 2, 1915 that the Ross was a good rifle, but in the spring of 1915, more than 3,000 men discarded the Ross in favour of the Lee-Enfield, despite threats of punishment. After the gas attack at Ypres that April, an unidentified Canadian officer wrote: “It is nothing short of murder to send out men against the enemy with such a weapon.’’ The Ross was a highly accurate weapon later prized by snipers and sportsmen. But as a weapon of war in the trenches, it left much to be desired.

“Everything jammed in those circumstances, eventually,’’ McCollum said. “It’s just the Ross did it more often than most of the other guns.’’ Although Hughes defended the rifle vigorously, the 1st Canadian Divisions got rid of their Rosses in 1915. The following year, the British military overrode Hughes’s objections and the rest of the Canadians adopted the Lee-Enfield. Championing the Ross helped bring down Hughes, who resigned in November 1916. “Hughes quite right-

‘Prince of Pot’ returns C anadian Press

VANCOUVER — Hundreds gathered in Vancouver to welcome the return of Marc Emery, Canada’s selfstyled “Prince of Pot,’’ after he spent more than four years serving a prison sentence in the U.S. The welcoming ceremony took place Sunday at Victory Square, not far from the Cannabis Culture store in the Downtown Eastside that bears his name. Raucous cheers and clouds of pot smoke greeted Emery as he arrived at the park. In 2010, Emery was extradited to Seattle and he pleaded guilty to selling marijuana seeds from Canada to American customers. He was sen-

tenced to five years but was released early for good behaviour and crossed into Canada at Windsor, Ont., on Aug. 12. Emery, 56, has said he has been arrested 28 times for what he called marijuana civil disobedience, with his just-completed sentence being the latest. He has said he plans to go back to work at the Cannabis Culture store and will continue his activism even if it means more arrests. Emery has thrown his support behind the federal Liberals after party leader Justin Trudeau voiced his support for the legalization of marijuana, and Emery’s wife, Jody Emery, has said she wants to run for the party in the election expected next year.

ly defended the rifle by saying that the real problem was the quality of British ammunition, but this missed the larger point,’’ said Mark Humphries, who holds the Dunkley Chair in War and the Canadian Experience at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ont. “The Lee-Enfield was a more rugged, reliable military weapon for use in the field while the Ross was a better sporting rifle. But Hughes was not asking Canadian soldiers to go hunting, he was asking them to fight for their lives and in this respect

the Lee-Enfield gave them a better chance at survival.’’ The salvaged Ross rifles were shipped home. Some were sold to hunters. Others were sent to Britain at the start of the Second World War, when any rifle was prized. Some are still around, hanging on mantles, sitting in collections, or taken out every now and then when hunting season opens. As for the Lee-Enfield, Canadian soldiers carried it through two more wars before it was retired in 1955.

Scotland’s referendum

Two polls show opinion divided month before votes on independence Associated Press

EDINBURGH — Two opinion polls show that Scotland’s voters are narrowly divided on whether to leave the United Kingdom one month before a referendum. Sunday’s published polls both found that a majority of decided voters want Scotland to stay within the UK alongside England, Wales and Northern Ireland. But they found support for independence growing ahead of the Sept. 18 vote — and

still-undecided voters holding the balance. A poll for the Scotland on Sunday newspaper put support for UK membership at 47 per cent, up 2 points; support for independence at 38 per cent, up 4 points; and undecided voters at 15 per cent. Another survey commissioned by the pro-independence campaign found 46 per cent support for the UK, 42 per cent for independence, and 12 per cent undecided.
