Mounties get their man at Fort Steele CST K ATIE FORGERON Cranbrook RCMP
Two subjects arrested and thousands of dollars of stolen property were recovered in Fort Steele on Friday, Aug 29.
Between August 27 and 30, the Cranbrook RCMP responded to a marked increase of property related offences. Several businesses and vehicles were broken into with the main
commodity stolen being high end construction tools. On August 29, the Cranbrook RCMP were called to a local pawn shop where a male was attempting to pawn sev-
eral stolen items. When the male determined that staff were contacting the RCMP, he entered his truck and proceeded to ram two separate vehicles in an attempt to leave. The
male managed to get past the vehicles and fled the area. A short time after the vehicle left, and with the assistance of the community of Fort Steele, a male and female were
located and arrested at the Fort Steele Campground. A truck and travel trailer were seized and a search warrant was obtained for both. As a result of the search

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: College of the Rockies president David Walls gets soaked as part of completing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on Tuesday afternoon outside the college campus. Walls—who was nominated by Angus Graeme, president of Selkirk College—threw out the challenge to Cranbrook mayor Wayne Stetski. Other members of the COTR’s senior management staff also completed the challenge last week. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has become a viral sensation on social media, with celebrities, politicians and athletes dumping ice water over themselves and nominating others to complete the challenge within 24 hours. ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gerhig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. For more information on ALS and the Ice Bucket Challenge, visit www.alsa.org.

warrants, close to $200,000 worth of stolen property was located, including the travel trailer worth an estimated $47,000.
A group of former forestry workers feel they have been slighted in a move by the IWA Forest Industry Pension Plan. Stephen Thacker, one of those workers, said because of an amendment made by trustees, he and other workers will no longer be paid out the commuted value of their pension. The letter that Thacker and others received earlier this year read: “When you terminated your membership you were told that a payment of the balance of your commuted value would be paid out five years from the initial payment. This is no longer the case. Effective March l, 2014, the Trustees will no longer be making these balance payments. Therefore, if you are expecting a balance payment after March 1,
2014, this payment has been eliminated.” Thacker said he wants others affected by this change to know about it and band together to perhaps do something. “There’s supposed to be 2,500 people that this is affecting at least,” Thacker said. “I just want to find these people and get them on board.” He said he has a local law firm looking into it and was also recently approached by a group from the Lower Mainland. That group is seeking legal advice from a speciality lawyer for pensions. They are now waiting to find out from the two lawyers what their next move should be. “Basically that’s a contract — how can you go back on that?” Thacker said.

Dine at a new Don Cherry’s in October Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
Cranbrook will be getting a little taste of Don Cherry, with plans for a new Don Cherry’s Sports Grill to open in October. It will be located in the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort, and will become the most westerly location in the Don Cherry’s Sports Grill system. “We are delighted to partner with Don Cherry’s Sports Grill Inc.,”
said Joseph Huber, CEO of Huber Developments Ltd. which owns the resort in Cranbrook. It is operated by Prestige Hotels & Resort. Huber said they were looking for a concept that would complement the resort, as well as a business group that shared similar values. “Adding Don Cherry’s Sports Grill to our facility will enhance our guest experience for resort customers, and provide our local commu-
nity with a great new venue to enjoy fun, food and sports,” he said. Don Cherry’s Sport Grill is Canadian owned and based out of Parry Sound, Ontario. In 1985, Cherry started a chain of themed restaurants called Don Cherry’s Grapevine along with family and a partner. The chain grew until 1995 when they turned from franchising to licensing. In 2002, Chris and Darrel Painter pur-
chased a license to operate a Don Cherry’s Sports Grill in Parry Sound. Within five years they purchased the the concept as a whole and have been expanding. They focus on converting space in hotels and inns. The Painters are excited to bring the concept to Cranbrook. “Most folks like to slide by our places to enjoy the game with a frosty beverage, but believe us; you don’t need a special occasion or a
sports event to visit our family friendly environment and enjoy our great food,” they said. “We are very excited to work with Prestige Hotels & Resorts and look forward to the grand opening of this new location.” The Cranbrook location is undergoing renovations and will include a sports-oriented atmosphere that will feature national and local sports memorabilia.

College looks to connect student innovation with business Trevor Crawley
“Our two main functions of the centre here are going to be to support and further develop a scholarship of teaching and learning. The other big thing is to support innovation through applied research designed to tackle business and community problems.” Bennett said that the college, though a smaller post-secondary institution in relation to the rest of the province, has a great reputation for innovation in educational and classroom technology. “This includes technology involving smart boards, lecture recording, distance learning technology—that sort of thing,” she said. “We really are seen as very for-
Students are hoping to lend their innovative ideas to local business through a new initiative at the College of the Rockies. The Inspire Centre, a new college service that is going live this semester, is designed to connect students with businesses in order to tackle and solve real-world problems with applied research and academic innovation. “It’s an area of increased focus for the college and I would say that our main intent with this is to grow a culture of curiosity and grow the College of the Rockies as a learning organization,” said Gina Bennett, the chair for the Inspire Centre.
ward-thinking in the province.” Though the semester has just begun, the centre is working on establishing the business connections that will allow college students to apply their ideas and innovation to the local business community. “The plan for applied research, as it is in other places as well, is to connect with business groups, innovation infrastructure of the East Kootenay, find out where the needs are, find out where we can best add value,” Bennett said. With a myriad of programs up at the college, there are all kinds of areas where students could lend their ideas, said Bennett, who point-

matter of getting local businesses and organizations on board with the centre’s mission, she continued. “We will be soliciting collaborations and partnerships with businesses and we’ll probably be starting with—I’m guessing we’ll start by talking with business or-
ganizations, so perhaps Community Futures or Chamber of Commerce or tourism umbrella organizations,” Bennett said. “…Definitely we will be soliciting partnerships and collaborations with businesses and then seeking funding to do the research.”

Hearing rumours, perhaps, of a mysterious ancient sidewalk unearthed during work on Sixth Street North, a trio of Cranbrook deer wandered down to check it out for themselves, where they were photographed by Stewart Wilson. The mysterious sidewalk turned out to be the equally mysterious Smith Creek culvert, which has been faithfully channeling water from Elizabeth Lake to Joseph Creek for almost 80 years. As a sidewalk, however, it seems to work just fine, as far as the deer are concerned.

RCMP arrest man, lay number of charges Continued from page 1
The male, Calvin Howard Brown, appeared before the Courts on September 2, charged with a number of offences including Possession of Stolen Property Over $5,000, Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Breach of Undertaking and Uttering a Forged Document. He was remanded in custody until his next court appearance on September 8. The female was released without charge.
Cranbrook RCMP would like to thank the public for their assistance. Valuable information passed on to the police lead them to Fort Steele where the arrest was made and the stolen property recovered. Cranbrook RCMP is asking anyone with any information about recent thefts, or anyone who witnessed the trucks being rammed, to call the Cranbrook Detachment at 250-4893471 or Crimestoppers.
Preventing suicide through community and connection Trevor Crawley
According to a sobering figure from Interior Health, approximately 11 Canadians end their lives by suicide every day. Annually, across Canada, more than 3,500 people are lost to suicide. In B.C., that number averages 501. With World Suicide Prevention Day approaching on Sept. 10, organizers have made ‘Connecting Canada’ the theme for the campaign. The effects of suicide can be devastating to communities and families and prevention is a shared responsibility, as we all have the potential to make a difference and save a life. “Everyone can benefit from the help and support of their family, friends and community during difficult times,” said Jenny Green, Community Health Facilitator for Interior Health. “Many suicides are preventable. Suicide prevention begins with our willingness to recognize the signs of suicide and talk openly about it. Once you have a feeling that someone might be
thinking about suicide, it is important to ask them directly, clearly and as soon as possible.” On Sept. 10, there will be an event at Rotary Park to mark world suicide awareness from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. that will feature live music, guest speakers, a kite memorial and more. The theme of ‘Connecting Canada’ encourages individuals to be connected with themselves, others, and the community, which is critical to well-being and hopefulness. Meaningful connections can be very powerful, Green added. “Sometimes just a few genuine words of concern and active listening can create an open discussion about suicide and encourage an at-risk person to seek help,” Green said. “You can make a big difference.” If someone you know is feeling suicidal, help is available. The Interior Crisis Line Network provides residents with around-the-clock access to telephone support. The toll-free number is 1-888-353-CARE (2273).

Changes to IWA pension plan has some former workers irate Continued from page 1 “The funds aren’t there they say,” Thacker said. “Every year when we were in contract negotiations, all we ever heard was when the fund was fully funded. I think it’s only been once in the 30 years since I’ve been in the IWA. Is it ever going to be fully funded? With more automation, with more people losing their jobs, sawmills shutting down?” “The amendments were made because the current funding of the pension plan under B.C. pension legislation—it’s required that the board of trustees make changes to the plan to demonstrate that the contributions coming into the plan are sustainable for benefits being paid,” said Derrick Johnstone, deputy general manager at IWA Forest Industry Pension & Ltd Plans. “To my knowledge there’s never been a reduction like this. It’s the board’s responsibility to examine all options that are available to them. They worked for months with their advisors to determine the most
fair and equitable with the membership. The elimination of the commuted value payments was one of the changes. “They made some other benefit reductions and at the same time active members increased their contribution significantly.” Johnstone said once the board of trustees approved the benefit reductions they had to go to the superintendent of pensions for B.C. for approval before they could be enacted, and that approval was given by the superintendent. “The elimination of the commuted values has only impacted people that have left the plan,” Johnstone said. “The 25,000 pensioners have not been affected. The members in the plan are paying more, as are the employers in the plan.” He said the board of trustees responsible for the pension plan are made up of equal parts union representatives and industry representatives. He explained the plan is called a

Residents, drivers, pedestrians and cyclists are asked to please find an alternate route around the construction. Crews will do their best to accommodate local traffic wherever possible. Please follow and obey the signage, barricades and any traffic control personnel for the duration of the construction work.

multi-employer plan. It represents all of the bargaining forest-industry members, in this case the United Steelworkers. The commuted value changes affected about 2,400 people. Johnstone said there is really no process to appeal the changes for those affected. “Once the superintendent of pensions has approved them, they are in effect,” he said. “Of course members are free to solicit legal advice on their own, and many have.” Thacker said he is losing $26,000 with the loss of the commuted value payments. “On a pension, that’s a year’s wages,” he said. “A lot of people think we are just commuted value hunters — well, this was offered to us by the IWA’s policy. “We got a percent-
age on our commuted value when we broke service, which means we don’t work in the industry anymore, they commuted the value of our pensions.” The IWA noted in the letter that many factors over the past several years have made it difficult for the financial health of the Plan. “Despite our positive investment returns over the past six years, pension costs continue to grow faster than Plan assets,” the letter read. “Under British Columbia pension law, the Board is required to make amendments to ensure the Plan remains sustainable for the future. The Trustees looked at options available and considered fairness to all members. “When you terminated your member-
ship in the Plan and took out the commuted value of your pension, a certain portion was ‘held back’ due to the funded position of the Plan at that time. Under BC Pension law, the Plan is prohibited from making the full payment of a member’s commuted value if the Plan is not fully funded. Our financial position has declined further since the time you terminated your membership and these balance payments would further reduce the Plans assets.” Thacker said he heard that those affected could apply to the Superintendent at a later date to possibly reverse that. “But if they already took it away from us are they really going to give it back?” he said. “That would be a total shocker.”

1939 and 2014: The differences
T
he Ukrainian army is in retreat on every front. Since Russian regular army units came to the aid of the hard-pressed pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine’s two easternmost provinces a week ago, the tide of battle has turned decisively. The two big rebel-held cities, Donetsk and Luhansk, are no longer besieged by Ukrainian forces. Luhansk airport fell to a Russian tank attack on Monday, Donetsk airport will also be captured soon, and the port city of Mariupol, back under government control since May, may be in Russian hands by the weekend. Meanwhile, those of us further from the scene are being bombarded with dodgy historical analogies. This week is the 75th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, so it’s a good time to see if these analogies really stand up to scrutiny. The first analogy is that Russia’s long-ruling president, Vladimir Putin, is another Adolf Hitler, committed to expanding Russia’s borders back out to the old Soviet frontiers, or maybe even further. Stop him now or it will be harder and more expensive to stop him later on — and anybody who disagrees is an “appeaser”. It’s true that Putin has long referred to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 as the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century. He recently called for immediate talks on the “statehood” of the southeastern Ukrainian provinces that have fallen partly into the hands of the pro-Russians rebels. This would mean the further dismantling of Ukraine, after the Russian annexation of Crimea last March. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, which used to be part of the old Russian and Soviet empires, are terrified by the implications of Putin’s recent actions for their own
independence (they also have Russian-speaking minorities). Even Kazakhstan, far to the east, is getting worried, as Putin says that it is “part of the larger Russian world ... I am confident that’s the way things are going to be.” There are echoes in Putin’s project of Hitler’s first priority after he took power in Germany in 1933, which was to recover all the German-speaking eastern territories that had been stripped away from the fatherland after the First World War. But Hitler’s second, bigger project was the destruction of the “Jewish-Bolshevik” Soviet Union, which would have required a very big Gwynne war (though he never intended to fight a “world Dyer war”). Putin has no second project. He cannot embark on a Hitler-style campaign of conquest, given Russia’s relatively modest economic and human resources. In any case the other former Soviet possessions in the west, the Baltic states, are already NATO members with solid defence guarantees. Until the Ukrainian crisis blew up, Putin hadn’t even done much to regain the old Soviet frontiers during fifteen years in power. He’s still not talking about taking back the rest of Ukraine, so there’s no need to nip his plan for world conquest in the bud. He doesn’t have one. This leads to the second big difference between 1939 and now. Back then Britain and France issued an unconditional guarantee that they would go to war if Hitler attacked Poland. Even though they actually had no military ability to help Poland, they felt they had to draw a line in the sand. Whereas NATO has not offered to defend Ukraine militarily no matter what Russia does: it is basically a local issue. Those are the realities. Ukraine enjoys great sympathy in the West, but nobody
will risk a nuclear war by committing NATO forces to save Donetsk and Luhansk. So if Kiev cannot stop the Russian/rebel offensive in the east, and there’s no foreign help coming, what should it do?The first thing is to freeze the front lines by accepting a ceasefire – which is now being discussed by Putin and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. With every passing day Ukraine is losing more territory, and it won’t get it back for decades (if ever). Russia will settle for a freeze, because Putin’s real goal, if he can no longer directly control the government in Kiev, is to paralyse the country by putting a cuckoo in the nest: creating a permanently dissenting, pro-Russian entity as part of the Ukrainian state. The way Ukraine can avoid that fate is by hardening the borders around the rebel-held territories as much and as fast as possible. Let the rebels run the occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk (Kiev has no choice in that), but DON’T integrate them into some rejigged federal state where they would hold a veto. And DON’T recognise their legitimacy if they declare independence or join Russia either. Treat them as another Crimea, in other words. Leave the Russians the task of pouring huge, ongoing subsidies into what is really an immense open-air industrial museum, and concentrate instead on making an economic and political success of the rest of Ukraine – which would still have 90 percent of the population. And wait. Wait for corruption to dwindle and prosperity to grow in Ukraine, as it probably will when the country gets closer to the European Union. Wait for Putin to grow old and/or for Russia to get distracted by events elsewhere. And don’t get any more people killed when further fighting will just lose you more territory.

Opinion/Events Is the legislative hammer up next?
W
hen veteran mediator Vince Ready declared an “impasse” in the teacher contract talks, he provided a reality check against notions that his method was to work some sort of magic at the bargaining table. Instead, Ready’s down-to-earth approach is to tell it like it is to both sides and not waste time yakking across unbridgeable gulfs. “They are a long, long ways apart,” Ready told reporters Saturday as he walked away from the talks between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the government bargaining agent. “I just see no basis at this point for meaningful negotiations or mediation. So I’ve just declared an impasse.” Another of his rules is to say as little as possible in public. But he supplied just enough detail to let the public know that the gap between the parties was not only real but complicated. “I’ve been trying to establish some kind of meaningful framework for mediation,” he continued. “But the parties still remain a long ways apart on the issues of class composition and benefits and wages.” Class composition AND benefits AND wages. Taking those in reverse order, the union’s last reported position was for an eight-per-cent wage increase over five years against a government offer of seven per cent over six. One year and one percentage point doesn’t sound like much of an impasse. But the union wants incremental increases toward the front end of the term while the government postpone most of the increase to the end, so the cost differential over the life of the deal would be substantial. Plus the union sought improvements in benefits and working conditions, which would further contribute to the overall cost of the settlement. The government reckoned the difference at several hundred million dollars, a plausible claim given
Ready’s professional estimation that “they are a long, long ways apart.” The third concern he cited, class composition, encompasses staffing levels in and out of the classroom, including additional support for the growing number of students defined as having special needs of one kind or another. While the parties are also well apart on that score as well, it is the issue where the public is most supportive of increased funding and also where the government is most prepared to put in more money to get a settlement. The catch is that the Liberals don’t want to do that until other costly issues are off the table. Their fear is that if they top up their so-called Working Vaughn and Learning ImprovePalmer ment Fund prematurely, the union could then press forward with other demands on wages and benefits, further increasing the cost settlement. Not specifically cited by Ready, but adding to the complications, is the lengthy court battle involving Liberal efforts to rewrite the BCTF contract via legislation. Twice won by the union in front of the same B.C. Supreme Court judge, the matter is now before the B.C. Court of Appeal. The government prefers not to deal with any of the considerable cost and management implications arising out of the dispute until the appeal process is exhausted. The union, twice-vindicated in the lower court, naturally chooses to press its advantage. “It’ll settle at some point,” Ready told reporters as he left the parties to stew in an impasse largely of their own making. But after the failure on the weekend, the settlement is less likely to be accomplished at the bargaining table than on the floor of the legislature. The B.C. Liberals have repeatedly ruled out a legislated settlement in this dispute. But then, they have to say that.
Past legislated settlements have created expectations of government intervention and that can’t come soon enough for teachers, who are thousands of dollars out of pocket in a dispute that has already gone on longer than some of them anticipated. For another thing, in recent years the courts have required governments to give the process of collective bargaining a chance before imposing legislated settlements. If the Liberals do resort to legislation, they’d have to persuade a court that they acted only as a last resort after an overwhelming public demand for legislative intervention. That point has not yet been reached, though it may well be exceeded in the next couple of weeks. The preconditions will surely be in place for a legislated settlement if schools are still behind picket lines when the house convenes for its scheduled fall sitting Oct. 6. Other developments could happen before then. But they aren’t likely to include the premier second-guessing her minister or the government negotiator. Or handing control of the education budget over to binding arbitration. Or agreeing to a settlement that would blow a hole in her balanced budget and fuel a round of “me too” requests from other public-sector unions. On the union side, the key question is whether teachers will be better off if they wait for the inevitable, meaning the legislative hammer, or take what they can get now and live to fight another day. I expect the union could get a better deal out of the Liberals now, at the bargaining table, than if they leave it to a legislated settlement some weeks down the road. But I can understand why the union would be inclined to hold out, having done so well overturning Liberal legislation in court in the past. Vaughn Palmer is a columnist with the Vancouver Sun

Morning pages unleash creativity
This is the first in a series of columns by Amanda Greenthumb, a certified health coach in the East Kootenay
I
just recently learned about Morning Pages from a lecture by Julia Cameron, author of “The Artists Way,” and have been trying it out. Here’s how it works. As soon as you wake up, as you are half asleep, write three pages every morning. I have to admit, the idea of waking up earlier to write was not exactly thrilling, but I decided to give it a go. I am so happy I did; I can’t believe how much it impacts my day. I believe we are far more creative than we give ourselves credit for, and this tool can unleash your creative side. Anyone can use this tool, even children, and you can do it anywhere for almost no money. The idea is to be partially conscious (half asleep) and therefore you can connect with your subconscious much easier. First write any memories of your dreams, then 10 things you are grateful for from the day before, and then write any-
thing you want to finish the three pages. Morning pages should jump from topic to topic, planning out what you need to do that day, venting about negative thoughts you’re still hanging onto, anything that crosses your mind. This is what helps move you into action. It is important to note that spelling, punctuation, and grammar do not matter. As well, your journal will most likely be very private because this is where you will get Amanda out the good, the bad, and Greenthumb the ugly. How does this help? Instead of starting my day with negative thoughts, I can get out all my negativity and organize my head for the day. I am more productive because writing out that I want to do yoga, and then actually doing it, has been working wonders! After a few weeks you’ll be able to see trends, maybe you always feel guilty after eating poorly, or spending too much money. The more you write it out, the more you will remember when it’s happening, and that’s exactly how you start to
change habits. I recommend writing morning pages for anyone who is looking for clarity, balance, or anyone who is struggling with personal issues. The pages will show you what is really on your mind, and what you really want, giving you a starting point from which you will blossom. I hope this inspires you to wake up a little earlier tomorrow morning and give this a try. I am confident this will help you. Would you like help feeling beautiful again?

Can Naturopathic Doctors Treat Cancer? Cancer is one of the most terrifying and life altering diseases and can be extremely complex in its progression. Sorting through all of the different treatment options can be a daunting task. As a Naturopathic Doctor it is my goal in the treatment of cancer to increase quality and quantity of life while assisting the body in ridding itself of any cancerous cells. Lifestyle, diet, nutritional supplements and herbs all play a major role in cancer therapy and when used appropriately can help slow tumour growth, increase appetite and reduce side effects of radiation and chemotherapy while increasing their effects. I work with the Oncologists recommendations and advocate for an integrative approach to cancer treatment as both forms of medicine strive for the same goal and can complement one another for better overall care. The main treatments for cancer used by Naturopathic Physicians include High Dose Intravenous Vitamin C (HDIVC) which creates oxidative damage directly in the tumour while supporting healthy cell function in normal cells. Cancer cells lack an enzyme known as Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) which in healthy cells converts Vitamin C to an antioxidant making it beneficial to healthy cells and oxidative and damaging to cancer cells. Another common treatment is mistletoe which is used to treat 70-80% of cancer patients in Germany as it stimulates immune function in the body to help remove cancerous tissue. Each cancer and patient will vary greatly in the course the disease will take and taking an active role in your own treatment and health is a powerful treatment in and of itself. I strive to work with each patient individually and to guide them to the most effective lifestyle changes and treatments for them personally. I have outlined only two of many options when it comes to cancer treatments and if you would like any more information on the topic please feel free to contact me.

Kootenay Ice open pre-season against Tri-City Americans tonight

The Kootenay Ice open the 2014 pre-season tonight in Kennewick, Wa. as they face the Tri-City Americans at 8 p.m. Tonight’s date with the Americans marks the first of three games in three nights for the Ice, who will face the Portland Winterhawks Friday afternoon before taking on the Everett Silvertips in a Saturday afternoon matinee. The team is scheduled to leave Cranbrook this morning and while the act of getting off the bus and getting into the game is nothing new for the returning veteran players, it will present a new challenge for some
of the younger players experiencing it for the first time. “It’s part of the Western Hockey League experience, to build character,” said head coach Ryan McGill prior to practice Wednesday afternoon. “The biggest thing is to make sure, once they get close to town, they’ve got to mentally focus as to what they want to accomplish.” Veteran goaltender Wyatt Hoflin is expected to get the start in net tonight and that’s no coincidence. With rookie goaltenders Jayden Sittler and Keelan Williams, McGill wants a fair playing field for the two puckstoppers as they battle one another

for the remaining spot in the Kootenay Ice crease. Forcing one of the two straight into a game after an extended bus ride isn’t something the Ice bench boss sees as fair. Hoflin has only faced the Americans twice in his WHL career, with one of those appearances coming in relief of Mackenzie Skapski last season. Hoflin only saw the crease for a little more than a minute in Kootenay’s 4-2 loss at home Nov. 3, 2013. Nearly one year to the day, Hoflin earned his first appearance against Tri-City turning aside 35 pucks in a 4-1 loss at Kennewick in pre-season play Sept. 5, 2013. Following training camp, McGill and the Ice enjoyed an off-day Monday before getting back at it Tuesday afternoon. With a Wednesday practice in the books, the team squeaked in two ses-
sions prior to leaving Cranbrook, focusing in on basic system play and coverages. “Really basic stuff, making sure you’re on the right side of the puck,” McGill said. “Forechecking, the system we’ve been working on is basically just making sure our routes are good and we’re trying to keep our instincts in tact. Rather than trying to treat [the players] like robots, try to make sure they understand their routes but we want them to use their instincts, move their feet and put a lot of pressure on the opposition.” With training camp having started Aug. 27 and concluded Aug. 31, the Ice remain close to a week behind the Americans. Tri-City rookie camp got under way Aug. 20 and main camp began Aug. 22, giving the host team a few extra days on the visiting Ice.
Additionally, the Americans already have three games worth of pre-season action in the books, having faced Seattle (4-0 L, Aug. 29), Portland (5-2 L, Aug. 30) and Victoria (3-1 W, Aug. 31). “It’s always a challenge,” McGill said. “They’ve had more practices. They’ve played in the Everett tournament. They’re just a little bit more game-ready than us. “But it doesn’t change our evaluation process.” McGill and the rest of the staff are looking for players to display their strengths, but also show an understanding for the concepts being taught. The Ice will carry 27 players to Kennewick, including the three goaltenders, nine defencemen and 15 forwards. After tonight’s tilt with Tri-City, the Kootenay Ice face the Portland Winterhawks Friday evening at 4 p.m.
Americans edge Canada at women’s baseball World Cup C anadian Press
MIYAZAKI, Japan — Second baseman Nicole Luchanski of Edmonton had two hits, scored three runs and stole a base as Canada dropped an 8-7 decision to the United States on Wednesday in the final first-round game for both teams at the women’s baseball World Cup. Third baseman Ashley Stephenson of Mississauga, Ont., added two hits and two runs-batted in for Canada in a game that fea-
tured two rain delays. “We never quit,’’ said Canadian manager Andre Lachance. “I’m proud of my team, the way they show up every day, they fight, they never quit, and they always believe they have a chance. “It’s not just because it was USA, it’s going to be the same against Australia and against Japan. Whatever the score is, we’re going to fight until the end.’’ Right-hander Vanessa Riopel of Repentigny, Que., started on the
mound for Canada, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over three innings. Saskatoon’s Melissa Armstrong came on in relief and gave up three runs on four hits with a walk while fanning one over 1 2/3 innings. Amanda Asay of Prince George, B.C., took the loss, allowing a run on three hits and a walk over the final 1 2/3 innings. Canada opens second-round play Friday against Japan.

Dynamiters demolish Rockies
3
Kimberley cruises to victory in exhibition opener
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Kimberley Dynamiters opened the 2014 KIJHL pre-season with a resounding 6-1 home-ice victory over the Columbia Valley Rockies Wednesday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre. The Dynamiters sent four pucks past Rockies goaltender Patrick Ostermann during the first period of play, and that was all the home team needed to claim victory in the first exhibition game of the season. “We played well in our own zone. We started to put some systems in and they started to show,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks following the win. “I think it showed all night long, with the shots on goal, that we were playing good on defence.” Jason Richter opened the scoring for the Nitros early in the first period, sparking a barrage from the home squad. All the Rockies could do was sit helplessly and watch as the hosts used speed and skill to burn through the defence, opening a 4-0 lead before the conclusion of the first frame. In addition to Richter, Tyson Klingspohn also made his way to the scoresheet in the first period. The two returning forwards finished second and third, respectively, in team scoring last season. “One of the keys in this whole league is to get good, older guys that are good on and off the ice, and provide good leadership for the younger kids,” Bancks said. “I’ve got that in spades this year.” Keenan Haase registered two goals in his Dynamiters debut, proving to be both a physical and offensive force for the home team. Haase, the 18-yearold KIJHL rookie from Mission Viejo, Calif., was dominant at both ends of the rink, showing fans exactly why general manager Dave Smith took a flyer on bringing the 6-foot-2 forward all the way up to Kimberley from south of
the border. “It’s definitely a relief getting the first goal there,” Haase said Wednesday night. “Definitely just got the monkey off my back to start off with.” Tyson Brouwer was nearly flawless, turning in a winning effort featuring 16 saves. Matt Bruyer’s second-period backhand was the only shot to sneak through the returning goaltender. Ostermann got the start in net for the Rockies, surrendering six goals in approximately 30 minutes of crease time. The 17-year-old Ostermann eventually gave way to Alex Hinsche midway through the second period. Hinsche was perfect through the remainder of the contest, but with no support on offense, it didn’t matter. Kimberley outshot Columbia Valley 39-17. The Dynamiters travel to Fernie to face the Ghostriders Friday night at 7:30 p.m. before returning home Saturday night to host those same Ghostriders. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. at the Kimberley Civic Centre on Saturday night. Coach Bancks expects to roll a few different lineup combinations over the course of the weekend as the team is still working to pare down the roster from where it currently stands at 27. “This is going to be a really, really tough couple of weeks,” Bancks said. “We’re going to have to let go some really good hockey players. That’s going to be a tough thing. “Anytime you go into the Fernie [Memorial Arena], it’s a smaller rink. There’s less room. It will let us know whether they are ready for the physical side of the game.” The Rockies return to Invermere to host the Sicamous Eagles Friday night at 7:30 p.m. before visiting the Eagles Saturday night in Sicamous. The Nitros close out the KIJHL pre-season against the Rockies, traveling to Invermere Sept. 8 for a 7L30 p.m. puck drop. Around the KIJHL: Golden 5 at Revelstoke 5 ----Nelson 4 at Beaver Valley 4

Kootenay Glacier Kings crowned at Canada 55+ Games Submit ted
The Kootenay Glacier Kings senior men’s hockey team brought home gold from the 2014 Canada 55+ Games, hosted Aug. 27 to 30 in Strathcona County near Edmonton, Alta. The Glacier Kings claimed the crown with a 3-2 overtime victory, defeating Southern Ontario’s The Point. Both teams entered the championship game undefeated and with tournament supremacy on the line, the game went back and forth through regulation. With overtime wearing thin, Glacier King Pat Severyn tallied the winning marker with just over a minute remaining in the first extra frame. “It was a big commitment from all of the players,” said Cranbrook’s Rod Guimont, who played for the Glacier Kings. “We were thoroughly rewarded not only by the outcome but by the wonderful experience and the great memories. To win a Canadian championship at any level is an amaz-
ing accomplishment, especially in hockey.” Comprised of players from both the East and West Kootenays, the Glacier Kings qualified for the Canada 55+ Games after taking home the title from the 2013 B.C. Summer Games in Kamloops. Guimont was a part of that provincial team and invited three other members of the 1982 Cranbrook Royals Allan Cup-winning squad to join him for the national championships. Terry Kirkham, Derek Spring, Ken Stroud and Guimont all played together with the 1982 Royals. Joining the quartet were a number of other East Kootenays players. Jim Bermel, Ken Manson, Eldon Wales and David White bolstered the squad and Martin Ross provided top-notch netminding, making for a well-balanced team that proved unbeatable. Apart from defeating The Point in the championship game, the Glacier Kings also knocked off the North West Territo-

ries by a score of 14-1 on opening day. Squeezing in two games on the first day of the tournament, the Kootenay team then went on to edge Lethbridge 3-1. On the second day of the tournament, the Glacier Kings topped Calgary 6-4. The Glacier Kings held four practices prior to traveling to Alberta for the games. “[A] big thank you to organizer Mike Ramsey, along with our West Kootenay teammates Pat Severyn, Doug Thomson, Norman Deverney, Ron Cox, Mike Ramsey, Mike Grace and Dave Delong,” Guimont said, “as well as [to] all the sponsors who helped make this happen.” While Guimont’s 55+ team took home gold, the Kootenay Glacier Kings also sent a 60+ team to the games. Led by three players from the East Kootenays — Adrian Blais, Brian Dickie and John Mignault — the team fell just short of a medal, losing in the bronze medal game to finish fourth.

Dav e H u m p h r e y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1898 Guns, bicycles, revolvers … Baseball, Football, Tennis, Golph, Cricket, Fishing Tackle, Ammunition, and all other lines including light hardware, we carry in stock, and our prices are very low. We also do gun repairing good and cheap. We will take in exchange for goods any produce you may have, cordwood etc. Write us, giving full description of what you have. McCREADY ARMS & CYCLE Co., 320 MAIN ST., WINNIPEG. New Station … Cranbrook is to enjoy the distinction of having the largest and finest depot in the Kootenays. The plans that have been prepared and now in charge of Engineer Pratt, show a building that will be a beauty in every way. It will be two stories high, gable roof, dormer windows, finished in artistic style and most conveniently arranged. On the first floor will be the baggage room 20 X 24, ladies’ waiting room 24 by 18, gentleman’s waiting room 24 by 18, lunchroom 24 by 18, kitchen 16 by 18, and a living room adjoining the kitchen. The second story will have the train dispatcher’s office and seven other rooms that may
be used for either office or bedrooms. On the front of the building, facing the track, will be a platform 300 feet long. Already lumber is being placed on the ground for the building, and work will be inaugurated just as soon as there is an assurance that there will be no delay on account of a lack of material. The building will be located on the east side of the track and west of the section house. Water Tower … The C.P.R. will build a 40,000 gallon water tank on a 6o-foot tower, just as soon as the material can be secured. A Post Office At Last … After months of waiting, with the necessity growing more pressing each day, Cranbrook has been given a post office, and the first regular mail will leave tomorrow by the way of Fort Steele and Golden. Inspector Fletcher arrived Saturday and called at once upon R. E. Beattie. Within a short time Mr. Beattie was authorized to write “P.M.” after his name. A registry department has been installed, and on September 1st a money order department will be added. For the next two or three weeks the mail will be sent by the way of Fort Steele and Golden, pending the arrangement that is being made for carrying the mail on the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway. When this takes effect Cranbrook will have at least three mails a week, and will become the distributing point for Fort Steele and other outlying
points. First Cranbrook Baby ... Last Saturday morning a girl baby was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Turnbull, in their car stationed in the yards in the north part of town. The mother and child are doing well. Mr. Turnbull, as superintendent of construction, must necessarily follow up the end of steel very closely and he has his family with him all the time, comfortably domiciled in two cars built for the purpose. Their little girl baby enjoys the distinction of being the first child born in Cranbrook, and in commemoration of this fact L. A. Hamilton and Col. Baker presented the mother a deed for a lot as a gift for the little one who first saw the light of day in this town. Long Swim … “Sporting” A.T. Clark accomplished the feat of swimming across Moyie Lake, just above town. The lake at this point is about three quarters of a mile wide. The distance was covered in eighteen and one-half minutes. 1899 A New School House ... The plans and specifications for the new school house have been received, and are now on file at the office of W. T. Reid, one of the trustees. Tenders for the construction of the schoolhouse have been asked for, returnable on Sept. 2. Two sets of bids are called for. One to a single room building complete, and the other for a two-story
building with the ground floor only finished. Send Them to School … There are a number of children running on the streets of Cranbrook that should be in school. It is criminal for parents to permit their children to neglect opportunities for an education. Send them to school and in later years they will be thankful. New Phone Line … Dr. King has had a telephone line put up from his office to the hospital at St. Eugene Mission. This will give him direct communication and save him needless trips at times. 1900 Perry Creek Stampede … It looks like another stampede will be added to the history of Perry Creek. The recent great discoveries made by Messrs. Ellers and Monroe and the successful termination of the long tunnel that the Kootenay and Perry Creek Mining Co. Limited, have been driving for months, has excited great interest among the miners and prospectors in this region who have heard of it, and outfits are going in daily. Roy Campbell came down from the creek Monday, whence he had been packing supplies for the above company and reports that he met several prospecting outfits going in; each day sees prospectors hastening in either to do assessment work or seek new discoveries. It would seem possible that the source of the fortunes
taken out of Perry Creek by the early-day placer miners has been discovered. If this proves to be correct it means the establishment of a large and rich gold camp, to which Cranbrook is the doorway. There can be no doubt now that large bodies of gold ore carrying very satisfactory values exist on Perry Creek. In Very Hard Luck ... Gordon Ross commenced work on the new hospital building yesterday afternoon for the first time, and before he had worked an hour fell from the roof to the ground, a distance of 25 feet, breaking an ankle, rupturing some of the arteries, and being badly bruised on the head and other portions of his body, as well as being badly shaken up. He was cared for by Dr. Beattie as well as circumstances would permit until Dr. King could arrive from St. Eugene. The unfortunate man was conveyed to the Mission Hospital, where Dr. King will attend to him. It was feared last night that Ross would have to undergo an amputation. Early Mule … An old mule connected with the early history of many Montana mining camps was attacked with horse fever a few days ago; many will remember the big animal as the winner of the slow race last season and the property of the Hamilton Brothers. The old horse hauled to the mine the first timber that was put in the St. Eugene.

FASD Awareness Day BreakFASD in Rotary Park Amanda Casey
• what services are available to support children with FASD; • who to contact if you are affected or live with someone affected by FASD. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, or FASD, is an umbrella term that describes the wide range of physical, behavioural and intellectual disabilities that occur in the fetus from consuming alcohol while pregnant. FASD is the leading cause of developmental and cognitive disabilities among children in North America. It was once widely believed that the placenta could filter out all toxins so that the developing fetus would not be affected. What we know now is that alcohol crosses the placenta freely and can cause FASD. Many women who consumed alcohol during pregnancy were unaware of the harm it can cause. About half of the pregnancies in Canada are unplanned, and most women don’t know they are pregnant until at least six
International FASD Day occurs on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year, to symbolize the nine months of abstinence from drugs and alcohol during pregnancy. On Tuesday, Sept. 9, beginning at 9 am, come join Axis Family Resources Ltd.’s FASD Key Worker and Parent Support Program, in collaboration with Bellies to Babies, Supported Child Development, East Kootenay Addiction Services, CAPC, and Paqmi Nuqyuk for a Pancake BreakFASD at Rotary Park in Cranbrook, BC. From 9 am until 11am, event organizers encourage the community to join in FASD Awareness Day to enjoy: • free pancakes; • speeches from individuals affected by FASD; • information on how you can support women in making healthy choices during pregnancy to prevent FASD;
weeks in or longer – so they may not know they are pregnant and could be drinking. Even if a woman has consumed alcohol early in pregnancy there are many opportunities to enhance her health and the health of her infant for the duration of her pregnancy. These include getting adequate rest, watching her nutrition, and keeping up with regular medical check-ups. Being part of a community working together to reduce the stigma surrounding the disability makes help more accessible. Join us in Rotary Park, September 9, at 9 am to show your support and enjoy a pancake BreakFASD. If you would like more information about this event, or would like to know how you can participate in FASD Awareness Day, please contact Amanda Casey at 250-489-4074 extension 227.

Cave art suggests Neanderthals may have been cleverer than thought Frank Jordans Associated Press
BERLIN — A series of lines scratched into rock in a cave near the southwestern tip of Europe could be proof that Neanderthals were more intelligent and creative than previously thought. The cross-hatched engravings inside Gorham’s Cave in Gibraltar are the first known examples of Neanderthal rock art, according to a team of scientists who studied the site. The find is significant because it indicates that modern humans and their extinct cousins shared the capacity for abstract expression. The study, released Monday by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined grooves in a rock that had been covered with sediment. Archaeologists had previously found artifacts
associated with Neanderthal culture in the overlying layer, suggesting that the engravings must be older, said Clive Finlayson, one of the study’s authors. “It is the last nail in the coffin for the hypothesis that Neanderthals were cognitively inferior to modern humans,’’ said Paul Tacon, an expert in rock art at Australia’s Griffith University. Tacon, who was not involved in the study, said the research showed that the engravings were made with great effort for ritual purposes, to communicate with others, or both. “We will never know the meaning the design held for the maker or the Neanderthals who inhabited the cave but the fact that they were marking their territory in this way before modern humans arrived in the region has huge implica-
tions for debates about what it is to be human and the origin of art,’’ said Tacon. Not everyone is convinced: Another recently published study examining the dating of various archaeological sites across Europe raises the possibility that the artifacts may not have been made by Neanderthals but by modern humans. Neanderthals disappeared between 41,030 and 39,260 years ago, while modern humans arrived in Europe about 45,000-43,000 years ago, according to that study, leaving several thousand years of overlap. “Any discovery that helps improve the public image of Neanderthals is welcome,’’ said Clive Gamble, an archaeologist at the University of Southampton, England. “We know they spoke, lived in large social groups, looked after the

said Gamble. “While I want Neanderthals to be painting, carving and engraving, I’m reserving judgment.’’ But Finlayson, who is the director of the heritage division at the Gibraltar Museum, is cer-
tain that the artifacts, and therefore the engravings, were made by Neanderthals. “All European Neanderthal fossil sites from this period, including Devil’s Tower Rock Shelter just one mile from
Gorham’s Cave, have this technology associated,’’ he said in an email. “In contrast no modern human site in Europe has this type of technology. So we are confident that the tools were made by Neanderthals.’’

A 30-year-old Argenta man has died after a hiking accident on Slocan Lake. The incident happened last week, but police only issued a statement today. At about 1 a.m. Friday they responded to a report of a missing person at Bannock Point, about five kilometres south of Silverton. Police, BC Ambulance, New Denver fire and rescue, and Nelson Search and Rescue responded and learned the man fell while hiking in the dark with a companion near the edge of the bluff. Just after daylight,
his body was found at the bottom of the bluff, indicating a fall of about 75 meters. “It was determined he and a group of friends were camping in the area, when the male, who was wearing a headlamp, decided to go hiking in the dark,” Sgt. Darryl Little said. Poor lighting, hazardous terrain, and alcohol appear to be factors, Little said. The man, whose name won’t be released until his family has been informed, was an Australian citizen but was living in Argenta. The BC Coroners Service continues to investigate.

BCTF rejects premier’s call to suspend school strike
Slocan Lake hiking trip turns tragic N e l s o n S ta r
Thursday, September 4, 2014
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Premier Christy Clark today urged the B.C. Teachers Federation to suspend its strike to allow public school classes to open while negotiations continue. And she insisted the union get “realistic” and move towards the public sector pattern on wage increases so the two sides can hammer out a deal to improve class support for special needs, which she called the biggest issue facing the education system. “There are no easy fixes and no shortcuts to achieving longterm labour peace for kids,” Clark said in a news conference Wednesday afternoon. BCTF president Jim Iker ruled out a pause in the strike along the lines of the two-week truce the province proposed last week and is still offering. “The government remains
entrenched and unwilling to be flexible,” he told reporters. “We’re not suspending any strike right now.” The premier had been criticized in recent days for keeping a low profile – apart from a few posts on Twitter and Facebook – as the teachers strike rolled into September without a deal. “This is going to be settled at the negotiating table by negotiators,” Clark said. “There’s no magic wand, there’s no one who can walk in and say ‘Guess what? I’ve come up with some simple, easy way that’s magically going to solve this.’” The premier said the union’s position is unreasonably high and made repeated references to BCTF demands for massage therapy benefits – a request that was dropped in recent weeks – and a $5,000 signing bonus that would cost the province more than $150 million.
Clark gave no indication of how long the government is prepared to let the strike continue or if classes might reopen under an essential services designation on the basis of damage to students’ education. Fassbender has vowed the government won’t legislate the teachers back to work this time. The strike began with rotating walkouts in the spring and turned into a complete school shutdown in mid-June. There were virtually no negotiations through the summer until a last-minute effort at exploratory talks led by mediator Vince Ready began last week. Ready walked out on Saturday, declaring an impasse with the two sides too far apart for mediation to be productive. Clark said the eventual deal with teachers must be fair – giving them a deserved raise but also respecting that other
unionized workers have accepted the government’s economic mandate offer on wages. Iker insisted the BCTF is close to the government on wages and made significant concessions in recent weeks. The government offer is seven per cent over six years, while the union wants eight per cent over five years. “We could have got a deal this past weekend if government was willing to move.” Iker said the signing bonus demand is “negotiable” and reiterated his call for Clark to meet him directly. Iker repeatedly criticized the government for committing money to priorities other than education, including the new B.C. Place stadium roof, a payout to a California utility to settle lawsuits against BC Hydro, and now the $40-a-day payments to parents.
Kimberley kids and parents are waiting for the teachers’ labour dispute to end and classrooms are sitting empty.

Cranbrook represented at Transplant Games Submit ted
For some, 13 may be considered an unlucky number but this past July, 13 athletes of Team BC hit the road and headed to the 2014 Canadian Transplant Games in Moncton, NB. The fact that Hurricane Arthur was making shore on the very weekend that athletes from all over Canada were scheduled to land in Moncton did not deter any ones plans. In fact the excitement just grew as athletes stranded at various airports in Quebec and Ontario connected on social media to catch up with the changes and keep everyone informed of their progress in getting to Moncton. For local resident Heather Hockley this was her second time attending the national transplant games.
Born and raised in Fernie, Heather later moved to Cranbrook and in May of 2011, received her gift of life when she got the telephone call to go to Vancouver for her kidney transplant. This year, Heather was among over 300 athletes and their supporters who converged on Moncton making the University their home for the weeklong event which covers all types of sports. Some of the sports are very competitive with people training in advance to compete for gold in their sport of choice. While other events are not so competitive, according to Heather this is what makes the games so unique and can cater to a large range of athletes of all ages and abilities.
“The fact that we can participate in the games is simply amazing, everyone has a story to share and it really is like one big family reunion that keeps growing, it just wouldn’t happen without organ donation,” said Heather. The only qualification needed to be an athlete in the games is that one must have an organ transplant. “It really is about celebrating our new life,” Heather said. “Without organ donation it’s hard to say where any of us would be one thing is for certain we would not have been healthy enough to participate in an event of this magnitude”. The event showcases to all of Canada the importance of Organ Donation and this year was no exception. The next National Transplant
The Real
games will be held in Toronto in 2016. Team BC is always looking for new athletes to join and experience the excitement. Heather’s goal is to attend a World Transplant game in the near future with the 2015 World Games in Mar del Plata, Argentina. You too can make a difference in someone’s life just by signing up to be an organ donor. It takes only minutes and will make a difference in someone’s quality of life. If you would like to hear more information about organ donation and the Transplant games please feel free to contact heather at hehockley@gmail.com. If you haven’t already please take a minute and visit www.transplant.bc.ca to register and please discuss your wishes with your family. It really does make a difference!

The biggest school of all Julie Brannigan
The biggest school of all ss right outside your door. For B.C. public school parents, filling the void left by the teacher’s strike is a complicated mess of daycare issues, squabbling siblings and fear the kids will fall behind. Schooling our kids is completely foreign to most of us but it’s also intuitive, and I’ve seen parents deliver some great lessons this summer in nature’s classroom. This weekend on a family walk near the airport the trails were crawling with female crickets intent on laying their eggs in the ground. The kids quickly
learned the females use the long spiky ovipositor protruding from their back ends to deposit eggs deep into the dirt. Fascinating stuff! Whenever we go rafting the kids learn about the importance of planning ahead and being prepared. You never know when a massive storm will chase us down the St. Mary’s and win. Even when your kids are in school, the great outdoors is an awesome science lab. It’s no replacement for formal education, but it’s only a step away.

A proposed class-action lawsuit has been launched against two chemical companies relating to bee deaths.
Proposed class-action lawsuit launched over pesticides linked to bee deaths C ANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — A proposed class-action lawsuit has been launched against two chemical companies that make pesticides widely blamed for massive bee deaths, a growing concern in Europe and North America. Two family-owned Ontario honey producers, who are seeking $450 million in damages, say they want to recover significant losses suffered by Canadian beekeepers due to the widespread use of ne-
onicotinoid pesticides since 2006. The statement of claim alleges that Bayer AG and Syngenta International AG were negligent in their development and distribution of neonicotinoids, as well as permitting or failing to prevent damages to beekeepers. It also alleges that the companies knew or ought to have known that the insecticides would cause damage, given mounting evidence that it presents a risk to bee populations.
“Neonicotinoids are among the most widely used insecticides in Canada and pose serious risks to the bee population primarily because of their persistence in crops and soil, and their potency at low concentrations,” it said. “Those properties, coupled with the neonicotinoids’ widespread use in many cropping systems and presence in pollen and nectar, resulted in a chronic, continuing and lethal exposure to the bee popula-
tion.” Neonics are a preventative pesticide sprayed over crops or coated onto seeds before they are planted. They’re picked up by insects such as bees when plants absorb them into their leaves, flowers, pollen and nectar. Several products containing neonicotinoids produced by Bayer and Syngenta have received conditional approvals by the federal government, the lawsuit notes. However, a Health Canada report has suggested that seeds treated with neonicotinoids contributed to the majority of the bee deaths in Ontario and Quebec in 2012, likely due to exposure of the pesticide-laced dust during planting. The government has said it’s monitoring crops this growing season and could impose restrictions after careful evaluation of the impacts of pesticides. The European Commission has already imposed a temporary ban on the use of neonicotinoids. More recently, an international panel of 50 scientists working as the Task Force on Systemic Pesticides said they have conclusive evidence that two widely used pesticides are killing bees and other insects, and harming the environment. It said in June that a study of 800 research papers provides evidence that the pesticides are causing the mass deaths of insects that are essential to the process of pollinating most crops.

‘Street-messaging’ system for homeless could save lives: community group says C ANADIAN PRESS
The Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnepeg.
VANCOUVER — A non-profit Vancouver group says a new text-messaging system that gets information to homeless people could potentially save lives. Tracey Axelsson, executive director of the Vancouver Community Network, says extreme weather alerts and warnings about bad batches of heroin or other drugs could be passed on to
people through their cell phones. She says a cell phone is more of a lifeline than a luxury for people who have few ties in communities such as the Downtown Eastside. Axelsson says residents there can also access the so-called street-messaging system from computers at a library or social agencies. She says the system being launched
this month will also provide updates on availability of shelter beds, locations where food is being distributed and job opportunities. Vancouver police issued a warning this summer about seven people overdosing from a toxic batch of heroin, and Axelsson says that kind of information could also be passed on through street messaging.

Harper wades in on Scottish referendum Murr ay Bre wster Canadian Press
LONDON - Breaking up the United Kingdom would not serve the greater global interest, nor the interest of ordinary people throughout the country, says Prime Minister Stephen Harper. A question about the looming referendum on Scottish independence came up Wednesday as Harper took part in a question-and-answer session in front of a business audience in London. Recent public opinion surveys in Britain show the Yes and No sides are almost evenly split with a little more than two weeks left before the Sept. 18 vote. The gap between the two sides has been narrowing for the last month, with some 42
per cent of poll respondents saying they would vote in favour and 48 per cent standing opposed, according to a poll tracker in The Telegraph newspaper. Harper rhymed off a host of global woes from terrorism and trade to Ebola outbreak and climate change and questioned how facing those challenges would be better in a fractured country. It is a conundrum that Canadians faced for more than four decades with the separatist movement in Quebec, culminating a period of reflection that followed the close call of the 1995 referendum. “What would the division of a country like Canada - or the division of a country like the United Kingdom - do to advance solutions to
any of those issues?” Harper asked in response to a question by Fraser Nelson, the editor of weekly conservative magazine The Spectator. “We like to think in Canada that our country is a strong and positive force in the world. And we think from the Canadian perspective that a strong and United Kingdom is an overwhelmingly positive force in the world.” Nelson joked that maybe the Canadian prime minister should stick around and take his message up north, to which Harper conceded the sentiment might not be well received in Scotland. He underlined that ultimately it is “a decision for the Scots,” one that should be respected, regardless of the out-

come. “This is a vote with immense consequences and those consequences should be thoroughly understood and digested. And the public, particularly the establishment should be more than willing to accept the judgment of that ordinary people, rightly or wrongly, deliver,” he said. “I don’t think there’s any way of softpedalling that. It’s momentous and should be treated as such by all sides. Canadians have trouble relating to the
notion of a divided Britain because the English and Scottish cultures have been so thoroughly integrated in North America, Harper said. But where they do understand the current dilemma is through the lens of the country’s experience with Quebec. “That debate has gone on and it went on intensely for very a long time,” he said. “Ultimately that intense debate did not create - for a long, long time - any kind of clear winner. It created a society that was very divided.”

People on Canadian no-fly list stay secret C anadian Press
OTTAWA — Federal security officials are resisting pressure to reveal how many people are on Canada’s no-fly list, arguing the information could help terrorists plot a violent attack on an airliner. In newly filed court documents, the government also contends that divulging the figure could damage relations with key allies, especially the United States. Information Commissioner Suzanne Legault is challenging the government’s refusal to disclose the data to a Montreal journalist who requested it under the Access to Information Act. La Presse reporter Daphne Cameron filed two requests for figures from 2006 through 2010 — one for the total number of people on the list, the second for the number of Canadian citizens. Legault’s office investigated Cameron’s complaint against Transport Canada and formally recommended last year that the agency release the figures.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You seem to experience gawkiness, no matter what you do or with whom you do it. A situation where you have often taken the lead could transform. You might not want to be as much of a leader as you have been in the past. Tonight: Try to break free early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be giving off an aura of being extremely put-together, which might not be the case. Work on being as authentic as possible. A sudden insight is likely to make you wonder why you have never thought this way before. Tonight: Make plans for a fall getaway. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) One-on-one relating will be a dominant theme today. You might feel misrepresented in a conversation, as if the other party did not hear your message. Try to rehash the conversation in a different way. Change plans, if need be. Tonight: Be with that special
person. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others will come forward and want to take control. You know that no one can control anyone else. Refuse to get involved in any power plays. Don’t forget to touch base with someone who is very important to you. Tonight: Know when to head in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Do whatever you do 110 percent, or don’t bother doing it at all. Your energy might feel awkward at times, but your strength will see you through any problems. Be aware of how you deal with someone, as it could be quite startling to an observer. Tonight: Play it easy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll have an opportunity to brainstorm creatively and come up with amazing ideas. Romance could play a major role in your day, if you are open to it. Be direct and caring when dealing with others, as not everyone will be as upbeat as you are. Tonight: Use your imagination. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be centered and direct in your
Tundra
dealings. You will be on top of a situation and able to understand what needs to happen. Trust yourself and listen to your instincts. Honor a change, but refuse to get involved in a fight. Tonight: In the right mood. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will want to understand what is expected of you, so ask rather than assume. Though you might not want the feedback, it will be important to get it. A relative could cause an unexpected problem. Don’t push this person away. Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your success is dependent upon you making the right choices. If you want to make a difference, let go of rigidity about anything that is happening. You will want to try a different solution to the problem. Tonight: Make it a point to indulge a little. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Life is subject to fast changes. Don’t fight the inevitable; instead, make it a point to go with the flow. You know much more about what is happening
than you realize. Loosen up, and understand what is appropriate. Tonight: As you like it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Recognize that you will have an important choice to make. How you handle a personal matter could radically change as a result of that decision. The best course of action for you would be to reflect on the situation and sort out all the details. Tonight: Not to be found. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Listen to news, and be more forthright with others. You have every reason to believe what you believe, and the effort you will extend to make it clear to others will be well worth your time. Catch up on a friend’s news, and you will like what happens. Tonight: Celebrate living. BORN TODAY Author Richard Wright (1908), singer/songwriter Beyonce Knowles (1981), golfer Tom Watson (1949) ***

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My daughter has been married for 14 years to a wonderful, successful, caring husband, and they have four beautiful children. But she recently moved out of their home. I can’t believe it. Everyone could tell the marriage wasn’t going that well in the past year, but we thought it was the usual ups and downs. Then my daughter started spending a lot of evenings with her girlfriends and staying out until the wee hours. She also became secretive and not the loving, open daughter she had been. I asked her to see a doctor, thinking maybe she was depressed, but also to check her thyroid because I have hypothyroidism and so did her grandmother. But she told me to stay out of it, that it’s between her and her husband. She says there’s no abuse, drugs or alcohol, and I believe her. But I think she is seeing someone on the side. She says she just doesn’t love her husband anymore. I asked her to please go to counseling or speak to their pastor, and she said no. She told me to leave them alone and let them work it out. Now she says the split is permanent. I am devastated and angry with my daughter. She left the kids with her husband, and she’s moved in with her sister. I cannot believe she would do this. I see the kids two or three times a week when I babysit. My daughter has asked me to support her in this decision, but I just can’t. What do I do? -- Beyond Sad Dear Beyond: We know this is breaking your heart, but you must try your best to stay out of it. Whatever problems are going on in your daughter’s marriage are hers to deal with, good or bad. Try to spend time with the children, especially if you can bring them to your house, giving them a stable, calm place to visit. But don’t take sides. The best you can do is talk to your other daughter and ask that she encourage her sister not to rush into anything she’ll regret. Dear Annie: We went to a family wedding last month. The ceremony was scheduled for 2 p.m., but the wedding party didn’t show up until an hour later. The reception was at another location, and dinner was supposed to start at 5:30, but the wedding party showed up at 7. No one ate until 8. We thought this was inconsiderate and rude. There was no good reason why the wedding party was late for the ceremony and supper. Her 90-year-old grandfather and his 86-year-old grandmother and numerous seniors as well as young children all had to wait for the wedding party to show up. What do you think about this? -- Saskatchewan, Canada Dear Canada: We, too, think this is rude and inconsiderate. There’s an amazingly selfish trend these days where some brides, grooms and attendants erroneously believe they are entitled to have a “before party” (although generally not before the ceremony, as well) because it’s “their” night. They delay arriving at their own reception, often by hours. In that case, they should not invite guests to share in the celebration, because obviously, the guests are not included in it. Unless the bridal party had a good reason for the delay, we’d have gone home. Dear Annie: You had a letter from “Any Light at the End of My Tunnel?” whose husband is controlling. I was in the same situation, and all I can say is: If you love your children, leave now! You will find help. I finally left after he threw a plate in my face, but unfortunately, it was too late for my kids, as I watched two out of the three enter into exactly the same kind of abusive relationship they saw growing up. You have a chance for your children to learn a better way of life. -- Been There, Done That Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.
2. Your Competition Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Quitting. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in business, you have overhead and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

NEWS Canada stands by Iraq in face of ISIL threat: Baird C anadian Press
BAGHDAD — Accompanied by two of his political rivals, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird slipped quietly Wednesday into one of the world’s most dangerous countries, where he declared Canada would stand by the people of Iraq. The two-day visit, which continues Thursday in the northern city of Irbil, began in sweltering Baghdad behind a steely curtain of security complete with flak jackets, speeding armoured convoys and well-armed Iraqi soldiers. Baird, whose travel plans had been a closely
guarded secret, is there to provide both moral and material support to Iraq, which is reeling under a relentless offensive by the al-Qaida splinter group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL. But Baird was unwilling to cut neighbouring Iran any slack, despite that country’s stated opposition to ISIL’s advance and recent signals that it’s willing to work with the U.S. and its allies. Canada still lists Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism. “Obviously we have a very different view when it comes to the government of Tehran,’’ Baird said. “It could suspend
its considerable support to terrorist organizations not just around the region, but around the world.’’ A meeting with Iraqi President Fuad Masoum was first on Baird’s packed agenda as the Canadian delegation, including opposition MPs, donned flak jackets for a high-speed dash in an armoured convoy to the presidential palace. He also met with Foreign Affairs Minister Hoshyar Zebari. “We are many — all Canadians in government — deeply concerned with the security threat,’’ Baird told the president. “We wanted

to come here to show our solidarity with the Iraqi people. We want to congratulate you on your nomination as president.’’ He also echoed Prime Minister Stephen Harper in condemning what both of them called the ``barbaric’’ ISIL beheadings of U.S. journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, both of which were documented in videos posted on the Internet. “It just horrifies anyone who learns of it,’’ Baird said. “At the same time, we should be very mindful that there have been hundreds even thousands of Iraqis, men women and children, who have met similar fates. “That’s why we want to obviously see central government, regional government in the north
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Jonh Baird is currently visiting Iraq. to be able to provide for the safety, security and protection of all their people including not just religious minorities, not just innocent civilians but every citizen of Iraq.’’ The trip into the Green Zone to the presidential palace was a white-knuckle exercise in offensive driving
through serpentine streets marked by high walls, palm trees and multiple security checkpoints, each one teeming with weaponry. Once inside the security perimeter, Iraqi children could be seen playing in the park in residential neighbourhoods, apparently unfazed by a late-summer

Design of Arctic patrol vessels under budget C anadian Press
HALIFAX — The design phase of the Arctic offshore patrol ships to be built in Halifax is under budget and on time, the president of Irving Shipbuilding said Wednesday. Kevin McCoy said costs on the $250-million design phase of the ships is between $20 million and $30 million under budget. The final numbers are expected at the end of next year. McCoy said most of the design is complete and construction of the vessels is still scheduled to begin next September. The federal government has said it plans to build six to eight of the ships, but the auditor general has warned the navy may not get the type or number of vessels it needs because of cost restrictions. The shipyard held an event Wednesday to mark the installation of the last piece of structural steel to the production building where the ships are to be built.
