Teachers hit the bricks a week before school set to begin Lack of deal between BCTF and BCPSEA threatens to push back start of school semester ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Local teachers and members of CUPE are back on the picket lines, and with only a week before the time schools are supposed to open, a deal between the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) has not been reached.

This week, School District 5 sent a letter to parents noting the situation.

“While we are hopeful that the two parties, with the help of external mediator Vince Ready, will find a way to reach a negotiated settlement before schools are due to open, a decision on school opening will likely not be made until this Friday, August 29,” Lynn Hauptman, superintendent of School District 5, wrote in the letter.

Hauptman said if there is a settlement, they expect school to begin on Tuesday, Sept.

2. If there is no settlement, she wrote, many of the Southeast Koote-

nay schools will be behind picket lines. The BCPSEA may also reintroduce the lockout that was imposed back in June and lifted for the summer.

“If that is the scenario, a withdrawal of service due to strike action and/or a lockout will again impact our ability to provide educational services and supervise students,” Hauptman wrote. “Again we ask parents to not send their children to school.”

That a deal has not been reached has not been for want of trying on the part of the teachers, said Shelley Balfour, President of the Cranbrook and District Teachers Association.

“The teachers have been ready to bargain all summer,” Balfour said on Tuesday. “Government has been missing in action for most of July. They stepped up a little bit in August. Our president asked on Sunday ‘let’s mediate on Monday’ and we’re still waiting.”

There was all kinds of mayhem at the 12th annual Cranbrook Mower Nationals on Saturday, as racers took their souped-up machines through the dirt track at a course built by Pete Durning at Mission View Moving and Storage. Racers felt the sweet taste of victory as they ripped around the track, while others felt the sting of defeat as their machines crumbled under driver abuse. After the winning racers were crowned, the event heated up with a variety of live musical acts.

Four local members of Cranbrook Air Search and Rescue were named the top aviation crew at a recent training exercis. From left to right: Dan Shynuk, Louise Shynuk, Allister Pedersen, Grant Tulloch.

A local air crew was named the top aviators at a recent training exercise featuring 19 aircraft and personnel from across Western Canada and the Territories.

Last weekend, pilot Dan Shynuk and navigator Allister Pedersen, along with spotters Louise Shynuk and Grant Tulloch were honoured with the title at the conclusion of a three-day Western Canada SAREX (air search and rescue exercise) in Camrose,

Alberta.

The foursome are part of a volunteer B.C. PEP (provincial emergency program) that is associated with the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA).

CASARA provides aircraft and crews who support the Canadian military in missing aircraft searches as well as assisting the RCMP and ground SAR crews for missing person searches.

Teachers and CUPE members began picketing various schools around the district. A deal between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association has still not been reached with less than a week before school would usually start.

Teachers’ president optimistic for next week Continued from page 1 Balfour said time is running short and teachers want to be back in the classroom next week.

“I see a deal being reached,” she said. “I’m very optimistic about next week. I would love to see a deal reached by this weekend, because then teachers would have a chance to go back into

their school and get ready for their kids. That is their number one goal: to have the schools open for Monday or Tuesday.”

She said despite the optimism, she is worried it might not happen.

“We have been ready, though,” she said. “Teachers are here on their summer holidays and CUPE is here on

SAR crew tops in Western Canada Continued from page 1

In an era of declining federal funding, Cranbrook Air SAR has been able to advance their knowledge and training through funding the Columbia Basin Trust to not only successfully compete in the Western Canada SAREX, but to also provide a fast and effective response for air search requests in B.C. Cranbrook SAR is a team effort with volunteer pilots, navigators, spotters and ground support along with help from the CBT, the city of Cranbrook and the B.C. PEP air director Alton King, who resides in the area.

their holidays. They’re trying to get the public to pay attention. I want the public to pay attention to the people that work with their kids, not to the government rhetoric.

Stop and talk to us if you have any questions.”

She asks parents to come down and talk to the people that work with their kids, and get an idea of what it’s like in

schools.

“That would be my goal,” she said. “People need to stop and think of what is actually happening here and not take the government’s word for everything.”

She is also calling on teachers to get a hold of MLA Mr. Bennett in hopes of helping to find a resolution.

Balfour said an example

of what the government has been saying that’s not true is they’re ready to bargain 24/7.

“That is so far from the reality,” she said. “It took them three weeks to return the phone call from the summer. Behind the scenes is not what is actually happening.

What they say to the public is not what’s happening. Absolutely not.”

She also noted that the $40 a day payment to parents with children 13 and younger could be used for anything, from a babysitter to buying smokes, as the criteria for its use is not strict.

Balfour said one student from Mount Baker came up with a figure that the payments would amount $32,000 a day in Cranbrook.

More B.C. cougars destroyed in 2013 Canadian Press

The number of cougars destroyed by conservation officers in B.C. in the 2013-2014 fiscal year jumped dramatically compared with a year earlier.

The province’s Conservation Officer Service has released figures that indicate the agency destroyed 117 cougars between April 1 of 2013 and March 31 of this

year.

That’s a 50 per cent increase over the 78 cougars that were put down by they service in 2012-2013.

Much of the increase appears concentrated in the late spring and early summer of 2013, when 56 cougars were destroyed between April 1 and July 31, compared with just 18 in the same quarter a year earlier.

That trend appears to have decreased somewhat this year, with 29 cougars destroyed between April 1 and July 31 of 2014.

Kamloops conservation officer Kevin Van Damme says there have been more conflicts between humans and cougars as populations of the big cats climb across the province.

He speculates it may be

due to recent forest fires that brought down trees, creating more open spaces and grasslands. That, in turn, could have led to an increase in deer and moose and a corresponding jump in the number of predators.

The Conservation Service says there were 3,120 cougar sightings in 2013-2014, up roughly 10 per cent in one year.

Generations Playground to get rubber surface Submitted

The Generations Playground, located at Western Financial Place will be closed for approximately three weeks effective immediately until September 13, 2014.

The Cranbrook Early

Child Development Committee has raised funds to replace the wood fibre surface material, with a poured in place rubber surface.

The new surface, the first of its kind in the City, will provide better access for children who

may have physical challenges.

Public Works is removing the mulch fibre this week with a local contractor putting in a gravel crush base later next week before the new rubber surface is installed.

The City of Cranbrook and the Cranbrook Early Child Development Committee apologize for any inconvenience this work may create and appreciate the patience and understanding of Generations Playground users.

Refugee crisis and ‘Mare Nostrum’

T

he last time “Mare Nostrum”(Latin for “Our Sea”) was used as a political slogan in Italy, Mussolini’s fascists were claiming dominance over the entire Mediterranean. This time it’s different. It’s the name of the operation the Italian navy is running to save asylum seekers from drowning on the dangerous voyage in open boats from North Africa to Italy.

In a seaworthy vessel with a working engine and a reliable compass, it’s a ten-hour crossing and not very dangerous at all. In a leaky, massively overcrowded wreck that was scavenged somewhere along the North African coast by the people smugglers and sent off to Italy after a few rudimentary repairs, it can be a death sentence. An estimated 20,000 people went down with their boats before reaching Italy in the past ten years.

The most recent victims, on 23 August, barely made it one kilometre off the Libyan coast before their boat sank, leaving 170 people in the water. The Italian navy does not operate in Libyan territorial waters, and the Libyan coast guard station near Qarabouli, east of Tripoli, has no ships of its own. The coast guards borrowed a couple of fishing boats, but only sixteen people were still alive by the time they got there.

The boats usually founder in international waters, however, and then it’s the Italian navy’s job. Operation Mare Nostrum began in October, 2013, and since then over 80,000 people have been pulled from these sea-going death traps (though most were not actually sinking at the time) and safely landed in Italy. Last weekend, the Italian navy rescued almost 4,000 more.

This policy honours Italy’s humanitarian traditions – but since all the people who are saved claim political asylum on com-

ing ashore, setting in motion a legal process that can last for years, the Italian navy is actually increasing Italy’s problem as the first port of call for over half the undocumented immigrants entering the European Union.

Most of them have a good case for claiming asylum: a large majority of the people reaching Italy are refugees from war and tyranny in Syria, Eritrea, and Somalia, with smaller number from various West African countries. Nor do they really want to stay in Italy, which is going through a Gwynne prolonged economic crisis and has very high unemDyer ployment. They would rather move on to more prosperous EU countries further north.

But international law says that refugees must claim asylum in the first safe haven they reach, and in the case of the EU that is almost bound to be Italy, because it is so near to Africa and because the post-Gaddafi chaos in Libya means that there is no control over boats leaving the Libyan coast.

Italy is now getting more than half of the EU’s entire refugee flow – probably well over 100,000 this year – and all of those people must stay in Italy. It’s expensive, it’s politically poisonous, and the country’s facilities for looking after these refugees are being overwhelmed. Yet Italy’s’s EU partners seem quite content to leave Italy to bear the burden all by itself.

With almost all of the Fertile Crescent now in a state of war, and new flows of refugees starting as a result of the fighting in South Sudan and the Central African Republic, the numbers are going up fast. Five Italian warships are dedicated full-time to Operation Mare Nostrum, and on many occasions in the past few months they have picked up more than a thousand peo-

ple in one day. This situation cannot last.

Italy has made no threats to stop the rescues and let the refugees drown. “We do not want a sea of death,” said Rear-Admiral Michele Saponaro, who runs the operation from the naval command centre. But Rome is losing patience with its do-nothing EU “partners”, and there is another way to address Italy’s problem.

The Schengen Treaty does not include Britain and Ireland, which opted out, and four new EU members have not yet complied with its terms – but 22 of the EU’s 28 members allow free movement across their borders for legal residents of all the Schengen countries. This includes Italy, of course. So in theory if Italy just gives the asylum seekers an ID card and a document saying they have permanent residence, then they’ll leave for greener pastures.

“We’ll just let them go,” said Interior Minister Angelino Alfano last May. “We want to clearly say to the EU that they either patrol the Mediterranean border with us or we will send all those who ask for asylum in Italy where they really want to go: that is, the rest of Europe, because they don’t want to stay in Italy.”

A previous Italian government briefly made the same threat back in 2011 and then the rift was papered over, but Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s new government seems to mean business. Italy not only wants its partners to contribute money and ships to Operation Mare Nostrum; it also wants them to share the job of looking after the refugees AND NOT LEAVE THEM ALL IN ITALY. The EU is famously bad at making hard choices, but it’s finally going to have to face up to this one.

news/opinion Bentall entertaining at Gran Fondo

With the deadline to register for this year’s Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo counting down to 11:59 p.m. Aug. 31, another entertainment headliner has been added to the big party taking place at the end of the event Sept. 7.

Singer-songwriter and Juno Award winner Barney Bentall will join the local group “The Testers” at the party, which takes place at the St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino, the starting and finishing point of the event.

“How cool is that,” says Al Davis of the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club, which is organizing the event along with major sponsor Taylor Adams Chartered Accountants.

Bentall last appeared at the Peterborough Music Festival Aug. 6 and rose to fame as a solo artist founding the Legendary Hearts in the mid1980’s. He later became a rancher in B.C.’s Cariboo region recording hits such as “Gift Horse” and “Flesh and Bones” and formed a new band The Bonaparte’s. orse Horse

Barney Bentall will be in attendence at the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo, Sept. 7 Some 300 riders are expected to register for the second annual fondo which consists of three courses; the “Piccolo 57 km, the Medio 102 km and the Gran 152 km. All the routes run from St. Eugene to Kimberley along the Rails to Trails bike route with the longest also taking in Wasa and Fort Steele before returning to the St. Eugene

Pavilion for the windup dinner and party.

In recent years Gran Fondos have become a world-wide phenomenon with some participants treating them as a race and others as fun recreational events. In addition to prizes awarded, Fondos are often used as fund-raisers, which is the case which is the case with

Rotary, which will use the money raised for various Rotary charitable projects as well as donating some of the money raised to the Northstar Rails to Trails Society.

Registration can be completed online in less than five minutes at www.KRGF.ca . Any other information registrants need can be found at the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo site on Facebook.

In addition to a continental breakfast, every rider in the event will get a swag bag with a T-shirt, water bottle, mini-flashlight and a course map to help them through the route. There will also be prizes awarded for the Best Team Spirit and King and Queen of the Mountain Award for the fastest time up the grueling, Fort Steel Hill.

The event is expected to give a major boost to the local economy with participants coming from all over the Kootenays as well as Alberta, other parts of Canada and the western US. Submitted by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club

Bleak summer for ferry remake There was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Transportation Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to low-usage coastal ferry routes.

The plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s election. It targeted sailings where ridership was in the low teens or even single digits. On some sailings the Transport Canada-mandated crew outnumbered the passengers.

Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been managed – with one glaring exception.

The Discovery Coast Circle Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the smallest vessel in the BC Ferries fleet, the opendecked Nimpkish.

This move wasn’t a direct response to low usage, a chronic issue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast. It was to avoid ordering a replacement for the Queen of Chilliwack, which sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

This summer the first leg was consolidated with the Northern Expedition, the vessel that replaced the doomed Queen of the North on the Inside Passage run up to Prince Rupert. At Bella Bella, after a layover

of a couple of hours, the Nimpkish took over with space for 16 standard vehicles on its deck and a midnight arrival time in Bella Coola.

The direct route had been mainly used

by European tourists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove through the rugged Chilcotin to Williams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour.

BC Views The new route incorporated stops in remote outTom posts Ocean Falls and ShearFletcher water, making it even longer.

Warnings came early.

“That’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Petrus Rykes, a tourism operator at Anahim Lake for 40 years, said in March. “The part they’ve cancelled was at 70 per cent capacity, the second highest of all the fleet routes.”

Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. The changes meant bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most international travelers.

A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in mid-summer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent. A bus

tour of Canadian seniors heading west from Williams Lake was terminated after 14 years. One tourism operator on Highway 20 is considering closing down.

Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the minister offering sunny reports on his blog.

Stone summed up his experience this way: “At the end of the day, my assessment is that the Nimpkish is a good tourism product if tourists are made fully aware as to the type of service it provides. If correct expectations are set, I believe the Nimpkish can be marketed as a valuable tourism component of the Discovery Coast Circle Tour.

“The decision to do this rests squarely on the shoulders of the tourism industry and tourism operators who need to decide whether or not they want this service to work, to grow and to be viable in order to capture a share of the thousands of international tourists looking for exactly the kind of adventure the Nimpkish provides.”

Got that, Discovery Coast tourism folks?

If this milk run doesn’t work next year, it will be your fault. Heck, the Nimpkish has free snacks and drinks for your 10-hour voyage, much of it in the dark.

More charges against accused Kootenay bank robber Nelson Star

One of the suspects in the April armed robberies of the Nelson and District Credit Union and Kootenay Currency Exchange is now accused of additional crimes.

Six more charges were laid August 15 against Andrew Stevenson: two counts each of robbery, using an imitation firearm, and wearing a disguise

with criminal intent in connection with robberies at Johnny’s Grocery and Gas in Robson on March 7 and Kootenay Savings Credit Union in Castlegar on March 11.

That’s on top of 15 other charges he is already facing, including possession of a restricted weapon, pointing a firearm, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and flee-

ing police.

Stevenson’s co-accused, Krista Kalmikoff, is not charged in the latter two heists. Both are due to return to court in Nelson on September 9.

Kalmikoff, who has been released on bail, has pled not guilty and elected trial by judge and jury. Stevenson, who remains in custody, has yet to enter a plea.

The pair were arrested April 25 following the hold-up of the Nelson and District Credit Union. They are also accused of two break-ins at Castlegar pharmacies on April 18.

However, they have not been charged in robberies at the Kootenay Savings in Salmo on February 24 and Shoppers Simply Pharmacy in Castlegar on November 13.

Payne chasing super-senior title Kimberley golfer sits fourth after one round

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kimberley’s Bob Payne is chasing a super-senior title at the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship at Capilano Golf & Country Club in Vancouver.

Tuesday morning, Payne shot an opening round score of 80.

As of print time, the tally leaves the Kimberley golfer in fourth place, three strokes back

of leader Mickey Batten of Chateauguay, Que. One player had yet to complete his round as of print time.

Payne qualified for the national championship with a T10 finish at the B.C. Senior Men’s Championship played July 22 to 24 at Christina Lake Golf Club.

He is scheduled to tee off his second round this morning at 9:47 a.m.

The super-senior division at the Canadian

Men’s Senior Championship is reserved for players aged 70 and above.

There are 12 players competing in the super-senior torunament at the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship and Payne is one of two players representing British Columbia. Dave Mackenzie of Parksville is also representing B.C. He shot an opening round 92 and sits in 12th place as of print time.

Kootenay Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson (left) runs rookies through fitness training Tuesday afternoon at Western Financial Place.

Kootenay Ice defencemen Landon Cross and Landon Peel have been suspended after failing to report to training camp in Cranbrook.

Yesterday, it was incorrectly reported that all players expected at camp were present, when in fact both Cross and Peel were not in attendance at the Monday morning veterans skate.

Both Cross and Peel are entering their overage year of junior hockey.

Cross, a native of Brandon, Man., battled concussions through the 2013-14 season and indicated he preferred to play his final year of junior hockey at home in Manitoba.

“As a parent, not as a general manager, I was concerned about him

and what he was going through,” said Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth Tuesday afternoon.

Cross and Chynoweth spoke on June 9, at which time the blueliner informed Chynoweth of his intent to stay at home and play his overage year in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL). The 6-foot-2 Cross registered 11 points in 67 games last season, split between the Ice and Kamloops Blazers.

Peel is also a Manitoba kid, hailing from Virden. His absence came as a surprise to both Chynoweth and head coach Ryan McGill.

“He told me at the end of [last season] he was definitely coming back and wanted to compete for one of the 20-year-old spots,” Chynoweth said. “He

Fit to win With NHL camps on the horizon, returner fitness levels are strong Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With eight players heading off to NHL training camps in the coming weeks, Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill was thrilled with the performance of his veteran players coming out of fitness testing Tuesday afternoon.

Tim Bozon (Montreal Canadiens), Jaedon Descheneau (St. Louis Blues), Tanner Faith (Minnesota Wild), Sam Reinhart (Buffalo Sabres), Mackenzie Skapski (New York Rangers) and Rinat Valiev (Toronto Maple Leafs) will all attend their respective NHL training camp as drafted players.

Forwards Jon Martin (Vancouver Canucks) and Luke Philp (Toronto Maple Leafs) will be attending NHL rookie camps as invitees.

Returning players testing began Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. in the depths of Western Financial Place and continued outside at Col-

lege of the Rockies.

“We saw a lot of good leadership qualities out a lot of guys,” McGill said. “Really happy with

caught us a little bit off guard.”

The 5-foot-11 Peel tallied 20 points in 63 games with the Ice last season.

The WHL and MJHL will sort out the future of the players who are still under contract with the Kootenay Ice. All major junior players sign a standard player contract that commits them to their WHL club through their 20-year-old season.

“There has to be some accountability,” Chynoweth said. “[Players] can’t just leave when they want to. It’s unfortunate.

“Both are good players and more importantly, good people. But there has to be some accountability from their end as well.”

With training camp getting underway this morning, the departure of two veteran defence-

men opens up opportunity for a fresh face to step in.

Tanner Faith, who was drafted in the fifth round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft by the Minnesota Wild, is expected to help fill the void. The 18-year-old native of Terrace only suited up for 10 games with the Ice last season as he battled injury.

“We still really believe the opportunity for these other guys to push through and be leaders and be good players is actually a blessing in disguise,” McGill said.

The Ice veterans are the first to suit up today, with practice slated for 9 a.m.

The rookies hit the sheet afterwards with the first prospect game scheduled for 11 a.m.

The puck drops on the second prospect game at 6 p.m.

with a bit of a different approach this season.

Having closely monitored the fitness levels of returners through the summer months, McGill feels his troops are ahead of the game coming into camp this fall.

With the help of skill development coach Wayne Dougherty, re-

effort to help polish their respective skill sets.

“After the weekend we’ll start getting into more system stuff,” McGill added. “It’s a little bit different and the reason it’s different is because these guys are in really good shape.

“There’s no sense in killing them or burning them out just to see what kind of shape they’re in.

We know what kind of shape they’re in. We’ve got eight guys going to NHL training camps so we’ve got to get their skills ready and their timing ready, more importantly.”

Bozon, Reinhart and Skapski were not present at fitness testing and won’t be in Cranbrook for training camp as they prepare for their NHL opportunities.

Rookies were put through fitness testing Tuesday afternoon.

Returning players will hit the ice for practice this morning at 9 a.m. while the rookies won’t see action until the first prospect game at 11 a.m.

A second prospect game is slated for 6 p.m. and a goaltenders session is wedged between the two rookie contests at 4:45 p.m.

Sports Better than hanging out at the mall Bouchard steamrolls 15-year-old Californian stuns major finalist at U.S. Open

Howard Fendrich Associated Press

NEW YORK — While 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis was in the process of stunning a Grand Slam finalist to become the youngest player to win a U.S. Open match since 1996, her father did his best to conceal his emotions courtside.

Like many a teen, CiCi has strict rules for Dad in public — even if his 1,208th-ranked daughter is pulling out a back-and-forth 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory Tuesday over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova in the first round at Flushing Meadows.

“I’m told I cannot sigh and I cannot move or say anything (because) that distracts her, so I just have to sit there like a Sphinx and just smile and pray,’’ the elder Bellis, Gordon, explained with a deadpan delivery. “She hears me when I sigh. So I can’t sigh.’’

Ah, the joys of raising kids. And make no mistake, Bellis is a kid. She is

home-schooled and about to start 10th grade.

Her first memory of the U.S. Open is watching on TV while Maria Sharapova played. She likes to hang out at the mall with friends back home in California. Asked whether she’s a fan of pop star Justin Bieber, Bellis answered, “I used to like him when I was younger, a couple years ago.’’

Her victory was the most surprising of the afternoon session on Day 2 of the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. Another American teen, Taylor Townsend, was set to face two-time defending champion Serena Williams at night, after Roger Federer played Marinko Matosevic.

Aside from the Williams sisters, American tennis fans have not had much reason to cheer for their own in the latter stages of major tournaments in recent years.

That’s why the occasional run by a young U.S. player — think Melanie Oudin, wearing “Believe’’ on her sneakers in 2009 — stirs interest at

Flushing Meadows.

“Believing was the No. 1 thing that I had to do today,’’ said Bellis, whose nickname CiCi is derived from the initials of her first and middle names, Catherine Cartan. “That’s what my coach told me before the match also: Just go out there and believe that you can win.’’

Bellis is still young enough that she plans on playing in the junior tournament in New York. She lost in the third round of that event a year ago; she lost in the first round of the Wimbledon girls’ tournament last month.

But on Tuesday, there she was in front of a supportive, overflowing crowd on Court 6 at Flushing Meadows, taking it to Cibulkova, the runner-up at the Australian Open in January.

“I went into the match thinking it was going to be such a great experience,’’ said Bellis, whose rapid-fire sentences tend to finish with a gurgle of laughter, “but I never thought I would come out on top

winning.’’

Neither did her parents. Her mother, Lori, didn’t attend the match because she gets too nervous watching in person, Gordon Bellis said.

So Lori stayed at their hotel, getting updates via text from Gordon.

“She asked how bad it was going in the first set.

And so I told her (CiCi) actually won the first set.

She couldn’t believe that,’’ Gordon said. “We were just thankful that she didn’t get double-bageled. That was the first objective.’’

After trailing 3-1 in the third set — “kind of a bummer,’’ Bellis would say later — she came back to even things, then broke the 25-yearold Cibulkova in the final game. When it ended, Bellis crouched at the baseline and pumped her fists, then ran over to the stands for congratulatory hugs.

“I didn’t expect her to play so aggressive today. I thought she’s kind of a player who’s just putting the ball back and running around,’’ Cibulkova said. “That

didn’t happen today.

She was really aggressive on the court and that maybe surprised me in the first set.’’

Bellis was making her main-draw tour-level debut, having earned a wild-card invitation from the U.S. Tennis Association by winning the USTA Girls’ 18s National Championship, the youngest to do since Lindsay Davenport also won it at 15 in 1991.

Not since Anna Kournikova was 15 in 1996 had someone so young won a match at the U.S. Open. And not since Mary Joe Fernandez was that age in 1986 had an American done it.

“Now it’s time for her to refocus, not get too excited about this first round. Just get back to business,’’ said Fernandez, an ESPN analyst.

Next up for Bellis is a second-round match against 48th-ranked Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan. And Gordon Bellis said Lori might decide to attend that one. No word on what sort of rules Mom will have to follow.

Mariners reward GM Zduriencik with contract extension Associated Press

SEATTLE — The Seattle Mariners rewarded general manager Jack Zduriencik on Tuesday, giving him a multiyear contract extension while

the team contends for its first playoff spot since 2001.

The team didn’t release details of his new deal.

Seattle went into Tuesday night’s game

against Texas in the races for the AL West and the wild-card spots.

At 71-59, the Mariners had already matched their win total for all of last year.

Gran Fondo registration deadline approaching Last chance for cyclists to register Aug. 31

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The registration deadline for the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo is quickly approaching.

Those interested in riding in the second-annual cycling event must register to do so by Aug. 31 at 11:59 p.m. (MST).

The Gran Fondo features three rides — the Piccolo Fondo, Medio Fondo and Gran Fondo — all of which begin and end at St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino outside of Cranbrook.

The Piccolo Fondo spans 57 km from the golf course to the North Star Rails to Trails pathway system. The Medio

Fondo, a 102-km ride, takes cyclists from St. Eugene along Rails to Trails before cruising past Fort Steele. The Gran Fondo is a gruelling 152-km ride. All three rides also travel through the Kimberley Platzl.

Last year, 260 riders registered for the event.

Registration for the 2014 edition of the Gran Fondo has already surpassed that mark.

Money raised through the event goes towards maintenance and upgrades on the North Star Rails to Trails path system as well as the Pain the Train Project.

Prior to the ride, Juno Award-winning sing-

er-songwriter Barney Bentall will sing the Canadian national anthem. Following the event, Bentall will once again grace those in attendance for the postride dinner at St. Eugene. The native of Toronto will perform a few solo numbers in addition to a handful of tunes with the help of some special guests.

Riders can commit to the Piccolo ride for $119, the Medio for $159 or the Gran Fondo for $179.

The Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo is presented by Taylor Adams Chartered Accountants and organized by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club.

Zduriencik has been Seattle’s GM since 2008.

The Mariners haven’t reached the playoffs since losing in the AL championship series for the second straight time in 2001.

Mariners President Kevin Mather said he had discussions with ownership in January about Zduriencik’s longterm position and got the go-ahead to support him with an extension.

Zduriencik’s tenure with Seattle has been a mix of hits and misses,

but the past two offseasons have proven fruitful in getting ace Felix Hernandez signed to a longterm contract, hiring Lloyd McClendon as manager and getting Cano with an offer of $240 million for 10 years.

Combined with the additions of Austin Jackson, Kendrys Morales and Chris Denorfia at the trade deadline and a pitching staff with the best ERA in the majors, the Mariners are in the post-season race.

into second round

C anadian Press

NEW YORK — Eugenie Bouchard needs put her hardcourt struggles behind her if she wants to make another deep Grand Slam.

A 59-minute dismantling of Olga Govortsova in the first round of the U.S. Open will certainly go a long way.

Bouchard, the women’s seventh seed from Westmount, Que., steamrolled her way into the second round at Flushing Meadows with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Govortsova on Tuesday.

She produced 19 winners and broke on four of six chances against her 117th-ranked Belarusian opponent, whom she also beat two years ago on hardcourt in Washington.

“It’s definitely never easy in the first round of a Grand Slam, so I’m happy to get a win under my belt,’’ said the Wimbledon finalist. “I want to get on a roll and keep the momentum going.’’

Bouchard, the only woman to reach the semifinals of all three previous Grand Slams this season, defended all three break points she faced while converting four of six breakpoint chances against Govortsova.

After failing to convert two break points in the fourth game of the first set, Bouchard won four straight games to take the set 6-2.

Two more breaks put Bouchard up 2-0 and 5-1 in the second set, then she finished Govortsova off on her first

match point when the Belarusian hit the net.

Bouchard has excelled at Grand Slam events this season, but has struggled on the hardcourt this season winning just one match over three events leading up to the U.S. Open.

“The past few weeks have been a bit of a struggle. I don’t feel like I’m putting too many high expectations on myself,’’ Bouchard said.

“I have the inner confidence that I know if I’m playing as well as I know I can that I can do well.

“I don’t want to set a specific goal to reach a certain round, because every round is so tough here. I always know that I can do well.’’

Bouchard, playing the U.S. Open for the second time after winning a round in her 2013 debut, will next play Romania’s Sorana Cirstea.

She said that she has put in extra time training in New York after recovering form a hamstring injury which limited her at her previous event in New Haven last week.

“I hurt it during a practice a few days before the event, and really cut down on practise before the event,’’ she said.

“I didn’t feel so good on the match court.

“Since then we taped it, the injury is something that healed pretty quickly, so I was happy.

The past five days, six days or so have been great. I really put in a lot of hours of practice here in New York City. I feel like it’s something I needed.’’

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your fuse is short right now, especially when it comes to any heartfelt projects. Your temper is likely to emerge. Hold on tight, because a bumpy road seems to be in front of you. A little self-discipline will go a long way. Tonight: Funnel your charged energy where it counts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will be taking a walk on the wild side if you are not careful.

Dealing with certain people who are known to be hot-tempered could be a problem. Try not to get triggered because of someone else’s statement or insinuations. Tonight: Share a favorite spot with a loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your creativity comes through with your choice of words. You could trigger a family member beyond belief without even trying to. Be aware that friction seems to be present when dealing with anyone, anywhere -- at least in the daytime. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are likely to speak your mind, but know that you are likely to get a very strong reaction as a result. People might not be easygoing right now.

Think through what you want to say, and perhaps postpone a conversation. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert on the way home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use care with your finances, and with any sort of commitment that could cost you time or money. Be open to a suggestion, but don’t finalize an agreement just yet. Think before you leap into action. Tonight: At a favorite haunt with favorite people.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not want to show your upset, but you won’t be able to help yourself. How you deal with someone and the choices you make could create even more of a problem. Opt for diplomacy, and you’ll be happier as a result. Listen to your gut.

Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Not until mid-afternoon will you feel a change in the air. At

Tundra

that point, you will blossom and become irresistible. You will feel the difference, and you suddenly might be up for making plans and scheduling meetings. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be sorry that you made a decision involving a friend or a particular situation.

You might be seeing some limitations. You will beam in much more of what you want later in the day. You won’t be able to bypass a discussion, no matter what. Tonight: Face the music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your temper could explode when you least expect it. You seem to have been holding in some anger for far too long. Review a situation to assess what might have triggered you. Ask yourself when it was that you first experienced that feeling.

Tonight: Find your friends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in trouble. You might have tried very hard to do the research necessary for a project, but a change of plans will create a problem. Listen

to news with an open mind, because what you hear could change your direction with this endeavor. Tonight: In the limelight.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A partner might give you an earful. You’ll need to have a discussion, as you can’t postpone it any longer. Take the time to sit down and finally clear up an ongoing issue. The right solution has yet to appear, but it will in time. Tonight: Make plans for the coming weekend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep searching for a different opinion. You will hear many opinions today, but the issue will be sorting through them and finding the right solution.

Fortunately, it will be your call.

Schedule an important meeting for later in the day. Tonight: Say “yes” to a dinner invitation.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: We are perplexed as to the actions of our grown children. We were not perfect parents, but consider ourselves to have been pretty good. Our kids grew up in a nice home where friends were welcome, and they were involved in church and extracurricular activities. Now that they have their own homes, my wife and I continue to help by babysitting and lending a hand when needed.

But as we find ourselves aging and occasionally needing help from them, no help is forthcoming. Why? What makes adult children tune out the needs of aging parents? We feel hurt by their lack of caring.

-- Confused Mom and Dad Dear Mom and Dad: Have you asked your children for specific help? Sometimes parents expect the children to know what they need, but the kids can be oblivious, assuming their parents are as competent and capable as they always have been. Also, some parents expect grown children with family obligations of their own to do chores that would consume every weekend, when the parents are perfectly able to hire someone to do these jobs. Kids resent this.

Otherwise, please be direct. Say, “We are finding it difficult to change the light bulbs in our house because we are unsteady on the stepladder. Could you come by one day this week and take care of that for us? We’d truly appreciate it.” Most kids will step up when asked.

Dear Annie: My 77-year-old grandmother is an incredibly caring and loving woman, and she expresses this through cooking.

Granny cooks large meals every day, and if you’re around, there’s no chance to escape without eating at least one plateful.

Dropping hints or saying you just ate, are on a diet or aren’t hungry doesn’t work.

She says, “Eat it while it’s hot!” or “It’s not that filling,” and suddenly two more scoops of potato salad have appeared on your dish.

I feel trapped. I don’t want to hurt her feelings, because I know she does it out of love and because when she was growing up there wasn’t always food in the house. But it’s no good gorging until I feel sick. It feels like she’s trying to feed me to death. Help!

-- Stuffed in Pennsylvania Dear Stuffed: You are right that Granny shows love through food, and it also gives her pleasure to see you gorge. But no matter how much food Granny puts on your plate, you are not obligated to finish it.

Practice saying “no” sweetly but more convincingly. Spend some time taking one bite and pushing food around on your plate, and then sit back and say, “I’m stuffed!

I can’t eat one more thing.” She’ll insist.

You’ll repeat. She’ll cajole. You’ll repeat.

She’ll act hurt. You’ll repeat. Ask whether you could take the food home (where you can do with it whatever you like). Tell her you love her. Ask her to talk to you about her day. But under no circumstances do you have to eat everything she puts in front of you.

Dear Annie: This is for “Mother in Iowa,” whose daughter falsely accused her of physical abuse. What a child interprets as physical abuse may be different from what Mom recognizes.

My mother thought it was OK to pull down my panties and spank me with a paddle in front of my father. I am sure neither she nor my father considered that physical or sexual abuse, but I do. She also bit my finger so hard one time that the teeth marks lasted for days.

While I bear the scars, I do not think of her as an abuser, because I am sure she felt her behavior was sanctioned by the Bible and by society. “Mother in Iowa” may think what she did was normal, while her daughter may view it differently. -- Mostly Over It in Vermont Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

James â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimâ&#x20AC;? OGILVIE. OBC June 3, 1936 - August 24, 2014 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Jim Ogilvie, loving husband, father, grandfather, leader, mentor and friend.

Jim passed away in the early evening hours of August 24th. Jim is survived by his loving wife Gail, his children Darrel and Deborah, and his grandchildren Kennedy and Graham, as well as countless others that were privileged to call him a friend.

Jim was born on June 3, 1936 in Kimberley moving away from Kimberley to join the Royal Canadian Air Force where he served as a Radar Technician, and became interested in electronics. Upon completing his military service, Jim enrolled at UBC to further his knowledge in this field. On June 4th, 1960 Jim and Gail Ohnstad were married in Kimberley where they settled down and bought a home in Marysville. Three short years later Jim and Gail were blessed with their first child Darrel, and three years later with their daughter Deborah. During this period Jim worked at Cominco and then the Skookumchuck Pulp Mill. Jim started his service in Public Office in 1964 as an Alderman on the Marysville City Council where he served for three years. The Township of Marysville amalgamated with the City of Kimberley during this stretch and in 1972 Jim ran for Mayor of Kimberley. Jim was successful in his bid for Mayor where he served for another 36 years. In 1972 Jim became a community businessman when he opened Alpine Communications in Marysville. Jim also served on the following committees and councils: Chair of the Association of Kootenay Boundary Pollution Committee 1968-1972; Vice President, President and past President of the Kootenay Boundary Municipalities Association 1973-1976; Executive Member of Union of BC Municipalities (president 1979-1980)1976-1985; Chair of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Natural Resource Task Force 1988-1993; Chair of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Task Force on Economy and Sustainability; Local Government Spokesperson at the East Kootenay Core Table; Board Member Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia 1994-2002; Chair of the Regional District of East Kootenay 1994-2002; Chair of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital District 1994-2002; Chair of the Ktunaxa Kinbasket Treaty Advisory Committee 1997-2002.

Jim dedicated most of his adult life to public service and was recognized in 2012 with the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal for those who have made significant contributions to Canada, to their community or to their fellow Canadians. Again in 2012 Jim was named into the Order of BC for his long term service with the greatest distinction and excellence, and outstanding positive influence to the people of British Columbia.

Recently Jim was honoured by the City of Kimberley when the Fertilizer Road between Kimberley and Marysville was renamed Jim Ogilvie Way. Despite all of his dedicated community service, Jim was a real family man. He enjoyed camping, fishing and motor biking with his family and friends.

Saskatoons or Juneberries?

Name debate brewing C ANADIAN PRESS

REGINA — A food fight of sorts could be growing between Canada and the United States over a tiny berry.

A U.S. researcher with the Cornell University Co-operative Extension is suggesting Canadians use a different name when selling Saskatoons south of the border.

Jim Ochterski says there is a surge in demand for the berry in the U.S., where it has been known for years as the Juneberry.

“We’re at a point now where there’s actual dollars at stake,” Ochterski said in a phone interview Tuesday from Canandaigua, N.Y. “We’re taking our heritage name for the berry, called Juneberry, and Canadian growers have their heritage name for the berry, called Saskatoon, and now there seems to be some market-

ing tension between the two.”

Ochterski said Canadian growers might benefit if they use the name Juneberry on packaging because it’s what American consumers know.

“Because produce is marketed internationally, we wind up with two different names for the same fruit and it becomes a question of would the name Saskatoon be preferred in the marketplace or would the term Juneberry be preferred in the marketplace,” he said. “And based on what I’ve been experiencing here in the U.S., the term Juneberry has been resonating very strongly with consumers and buyers.”

Ochterski insists he’s not suggesting a complete name change — just adding the name Juneberry for cross-border sales. He says it would “speed up sales tremendously.”

He wrote a letter to the Saskatoon Berry Council of Canada asking if it would be open to the idea. Ochterski wrote that he raises the issue with “a pang of compunction” because he knows how much work has gone into marketing the Saskatoon berry and its deep roots in Canadian prairie culture.

The Saskatoon berry, which mostly grows on the Prairies, looks similar to a blueberry but is considered more nutritious.

The website www.juneberries. org, which is supported by the Cornell group, says the berries have about as much vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, folate, vitamin A and vitamin E as blueberries.

It says they also have twice as much potassium and iron as blueberries.

Each office independently owned and operated.

TORONTO — Finance Minister Joe Oliver says the takeover of Tim Hortons by U.S. fast food chain Burger King won’t alienate Canada from its most important trading partner.

Burger King and Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) announced a agreement Tuesday to team up in an US$11-billion deal, creating the world’s third-largest fast-food company.

The corporate headquarters of the new company will be in Can-

ada, a move that some speculate may help Burger King lower its taxes.

U.S. President Barack Obama has criticized American companies that move to other countries in search of lower corporate tax bills.

However, Burger King executive chairman Alex Behring has said the company does not expect any meaningful change to its tax rate.

Oliver touted Canada’s improved business climate — in-

cluding its low corporate tax rate — at a news conference following a discussion with Canadian technology executives.

“The United States is a highly competitive economy and we have a right to determine our own fiscal policy,” Oliver said.

“We believe this has been an instructive move that has been designed to retain capital in the country, which results in more business expansion and employment.”

B.C. company behind mine spill agrees to First Nations review of other project C ANADIAN PRESs

VANCOUVER — A B.C. company behind a tailings spill earlier this month has signed an agreement with a First Nation to review the tailings facility in a separate project.

Imperial Metals (TSX:III) expects to open its Red Chris gold and copper mine, located in northwestern B.C., later this year.

But the company has faced

increased scrutiny after a tailings dam at its Mount Polley mine in central B.C. failed, releasing millions of cubic metres of waste water and silt into several lakes and rivers.

Imperial Metals says it has signed an agreement with the Tahltan Central Council that will see the company pay for an outside engineering firm, chosen by the band, to review the Red Chris

tailings facility.

The company says it has agreed to respond to any issues identified by the review.

A group of Tahltan members known as the Klabona Keepers had started a blockade of the Red Chris site in response to the Mount Polley spill, but a spokeswoman for the group says the blockade has ended with the new agreement.
