Bennett, Macdonald tangle over Mt. Polley Premier should hold Minister Bill Bennett accountable, Macdonald says; Bennett vows to resign if his Ministry found negligent C AROLYN GR ANT

Two old political foes are going at it again over the Mt. Polley tailings spill. Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, Mines and Energy critic for the NDP, is calling on

Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett to step aside and Bennett has said that he will resign — if his Ministry is found negligent. Macdonald has just returned from a trip to Quesnel Lake, Polley Lake and the

Mount Polley mine site. “We had a tour of the lakes, saw where the debris and tailings went in,” he said. “We travelled by boat over a vast plume of material suspended in the water. “Until you see it, it’s diffi-

cult to comprehend the scope of the vast amount of material that left the tailings enclosure” Macdonald was also given a tour of the mine site itself and attended a public meeting held by Imperial

Metals, the mine’s owner. He says there is tremendous distrust among community members about what they are being told, and frustration over the lack of solid information. And that’s on the BC Lib-

Kids Connection Preschool was the recipient of two new raised garden beds this summer thanks to a generous donation from the Cranbrook Garden Club. The beds were custom built to be accessible to both young children and people with mobility impairments. The new additions will be incorporated in growing and farming themes and will allow young children to make connections between the earth, weather, science and the food they eat. The children, along with their teachers and Linda from the Cranbrook Garden Club planted blueberry and raspberry bushes, rhubarb, strawberries and flowers and will add more food and flower plants as they grow from seeds in the spring.

Last chance to register for City business info session ARNE PETRYSHEN

Time is running out to register for a information session being put on by the city that will help businesses do business with the city. If you’ve ever wondered how to bid on a City of Cranbrook tender, how the city

determines which company to do business with or your business is interested in working with the city then the Community Vendor Information Session may be for you. The city is inviting anyone interested to attend the

session on Thursday, Sept. 11, at 9 a.m. Registration is required and will only be taken until today, Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 3:30 p.m. The free two hour session, hosted by the City of Cranbrook will be held at the

Manual Training School Meeting & Conference Centre at 1212 2nd Street North. The city will provide information on the following: • City of Cranbrook Purchasing Policy • Invitation to Tenders and Requests for Proposals

• City of Cranbrook Hired Equipment List • New vendors interested in working with the city To register call or email Melissa Smith, Financial Services Manager for the city, at 250-489-0265 or msmith@cranbrook.ca.

erals, Macdonald says. “In response to this crisis, the BC Liberals are doing what they always do. Just like their response to the mill explosions in Burns Lake and Prince George, where people lost their lives, they try to pretend that they are not responsible. They claim they have the best regulations in the world, and what occurred was beyond their control. “The Mount Polley breach was not an accident. The area was not subject to a catastrophic weather event. There was no earthquake. There is no suggestion of an act of terror. It simply failed. “And Bill Bennett, the Minister responsible for mines, knew there were real concerns with the Mount Polley tailings enclosure prior to the breach, yet he did nothing. “Minister Bennett knew that the government had allowed expansion of mining at the site without dealing with the problem of where to put the tailings from the increased activity. Minister Bennett knew the original engineers for the tailing enclosure had walked away stating serious concerns about the project. Minister Bennett supported drastic cuts to ministry staff responsible for oversight and enforcement.” Bennett says it would better to let the investigation into exactly what happened proceed before pointing fingers. “The cause of the Mt. Polley tailings dam failure is unknown but I have appointed a world class independent team of geoscientists to investigate the failure and report back to government and First Nations,” he said. “Tailings dams in Canada fail rarely. 1948 is when the last BC dam was breached. It is dishonest to suggest government could have known the event would happen or that it was not an ‘accident’.

RDEK ponders pot production What’s Up? Regional District proposes bylaw amendments for growing medical marijuana

T r e v o r C r aw l e y

The RDEK took another step to allowing medical marijuana production with a slew of proposed bylaw amendments last week at a monthly board meeting. However, don’t expect any medicinal operations to spring up overnight. The board gave each of the 13 bylaws a second reading and set up meetings across the region for public feedback. At issue is setting out landuse conditions for an opera-

tion that produces medical marijuana. The federal government controls the regulations around licenses and permits, but the RDEK has the authority to approve locations for any potential facilities, according to Area C director Rob Gay. “So now when someone comes and says, ‘I’d like to pursue this’, we can say, ‘Here’s the rules for this zoning bylaw. If you want to do it in the Rockyview area, this is the rules, if you want to do it in the Elk Valley, this is the rules’,”

Gay said. The federal government changed the regulations earlier this year, allowing the production of larger-scale medical marijuana operations. Gay added that the RDEK has heard from a couple people interested in setting up such an operation. “So what we had to do under our bylaws, is to say, ‘These are the conditions under which you can grow [medical] marijuana’,” he said. However, despite the proposed bylaw amendments,

Gay said he feels any kind of medical marijuana production operation should be located within East Kootenay municipal boundaries. “In our view, these things probably belong more in a municipality where you have policing, you have electricity, you’ve got all the services and the water,” Gay said. The RDEK will be hosting a public meeting for the proposed bylaw amendments on Sept. 17 at 4 p.m. in the RDEK boardroom in Cranbrook.

Man still missing from Kokanee Creek Park N elso n Star

Police and search officials remain stumped about the whereabouts of a Surrey man missing from Kokanee Creek Provincial Park for nearly a week. Paul Tayes, 56, who was camping at the park, was last seen Tuesday night by campsite attendants when he paid for his site. Tayes, who was making his way from Cranbrook, planned to spend only one night and then travel to Summit Lake. However, attendants noticed his belongings were still at the campsite two days later and alerted authorities. He left his vehicle, trailer, and boat behind. The ground search, which focused on the park, but covered an area as far as a person could travel in two days, was helped when 145 search and rescue members from East Kootenay and the Okanagan arrived for an annual inter-regional training exercise at the park. “We had three or four times the bodies

we would typically have,” Nelson Search and Rescue’s Chris Armstrong said today. “We took two of our workshops, freeing up 20 to 30 people per hour over the whole day and had those people ac-

tively searching.” No trace of Tayes was found. On Monday searchers returned with RCMP to an area of “high potential” where bears were known to be living, but without success.

Armstrong said following a strategy session with police today, they planned to try again this afternoon “and cover off the last possible places where he could be in the park, but outside of that we’re

grasping at straws.” He said if any leads result, the search may yet continue, however, “we have dug up every bear den, looked into everything, and all the properties have been searched.”

Wildlife notes from WildSafe BC

Keep on top of your unpicked fruit Early season apples, like pale green Transparents, are ready for the picking! If you have trouble picking or utilizing your fruit, be sure to check out the resources available through Wildsight’s Apple Capture Project. Consider the removal of hard to pick or overgrown trees. Unpicked fruit is a wildlife attractant and can lead to serious fines if not dealt with. If you live in a rental property with a fruit tree, contact your landlord and bring it to their attention. Remember to be diligent

with the storage of food for pets and livestock. Keep pet and livestock food secure in a covered barn, shed, garage or in your home. Considering installing an electric fence to keep your livestock safe from preda-

tory wildlife? Contact your Community Coordinator (cranbrook@wildsafebc.com) today for the most current specifications and checklists for installations recommended by WildSafeBC. There have been no recent wildlife sightings in Cranbrook. If you see any wildlife activity of concern, please call the 24Hour reporting line for the Conservation Officer Service: 1 -877-952.7277.

Bennett, Macdonald tangle over Mt. Polley Continued from page 1

“These dams are monitored by electronic sensors deep inside the dam walls for moisture and movement. The investigation will show whether the company knew there were looming problems. The dam is watched daily by qualified mine staff and inspected annually by ministry staff. Bennett says his Ministry inspects mines regularly and was at the Mt. Polley site in May. “There has been no reduction of tailings ponds and dams inspections as stated by the NDP. Mt Polley has had over 100 inspections since the mine opened.” “As minister, I had zero notice of the accident but was on the ground the next day looking at the site and meeting with the community. My professional staff advise me that they had no reason to suspect such a rare occurrence would happen. “From 1997 when the mine opened (NDP approved original design of the dam) to present, there has been one minor issue of non-compliance at the pond, ie water level too high in May, 2014. The company was told to bring down the level into compliance and did so. To suggest that I or my staff ‘knew’ and did nothing about a potential accident that

Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett

Columbia RiverRevelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald. could have killed and injured people is about as low and dirty a comment I have experienced in 14 years of provincial politics. I suggest Mr. Macdonald should consider quitting politics because he fast turning into an angry, bitter man.” However, Macdonald says the B.C. Liberals are continuing a legacy of making information about what happens on public lands difficult, and are making a difficult situation in the area of the spill more

difficult because people cannot trust what they are being told. “Minister Bennett must step aside. British Columbians cannot trust him to be open about what really happened. He cannot be trusted to make sure other tailings facilities are safe. Ministers who fail on such a massive scale should be held accountable by the Premier.” Bennett says he will take responsibility should his Ministry be found negligent. “I have stated publicly that if the independent investigation proves that my ministry was negligent and caused this accident, I will take personal responsibility for my ministry and resign. I have confidence in my ministry staff and in our policies and rules, but I will not be the judge of that and neither will the NDP. “The experts say the odds are far greater that Mr. Macdonald will be struck by lightning or crash on his next flight, than a mine tailings dam will breach,” Bennett said. “He can make all the ridiculous statements he wants. I will wait for the independent experts to figure out what happened and to tell us if government and\or the industry need to make changes in policy and routines.”

Elk Valley car thieves charged in court

Two unidentified male suspects were charged last Monday, August 25, for several offences in relation to a four-day crime spree across the Elk Valley. The men, both in their twenties, appeared in the Cranbrook’s pro-

vincial court house in late August, where they pled guilty to the charges laid against them, RCMP Sgt. Will Thien said. Approximately 20 criminal charges were laid against the suspects after they stole three cars between Alberta, the Elk Valley and

Police say one gentleman was given a year probation, while the more serious offender was given six months jail time. “In the big scheme of things, in B.C., that’s more than I could hope,” Thien noted. “We [the RCMP] were happy with the way it turned out.” The accused, both suffering from addiction and mental illness problems, were arrested at the beginning of August and held in local cells.

Scotland, Quebec and independence

ANDRE W COYNE

t has been an entertaining, if unnerving, couple of weeks, recalling the referendum of 1995 and speculating about what would have happened had the separatists won. Now, thanks to the Scots, we may be about to find out. Next week’s referendum on Scottish independence is indeed looking eerily reminiscent of the 1995 near-disaster: the same early complacency in the ‘No’ camp, the same unbridled panic as the ‘Yes’ side surges in the polls; the same unappealing mix of threats (“one million jobs”) and accounting on the ‘No’ side, the same fraudulent claims (“we’re subsidizing the English”) and utopian fantasies on the ‘Yes’; the same blurring of the lines on both sides, independence made to look like the status quo (“we’ll keep the pound”) even as the status quo is made to look like independence (“devo-max” is the British term for special status). Add a charismatic ‘Yes’ leader and an unpopular, seemingly disengaged prime minister, and the picture is complete. Learning nothing from our experience, the Brits made all the same strategic errors we did, first conferring an unwarranted legitimacy on the separatist project, then attempting to pacify it with powers and money, only to watch it grow more ravenous in response. They have ended up in the same game of heads-I-win, tails-youlose: a ‘No’ vote simply marks the launch of the next campaign, while a ‘Yes,’ supposedly, is forever. Notwithstanding that shock poll over the weekend showing the ‘Yes’ ahead for the first time, the betting sites (there’ll always be an England) still make the ‘No’ the

odds-on favourite. But a slim ‘Yes’ victory is entirely possible. Either way, the formerly United Kingdom is headed for the unknown. And if the ‘Yes’ wins? Here things get quite unsettling — and not only for the U.K. It is probable that the negotiations on separation, should they even get under way (the narrower the win, the weaker the mandate), would reach the same insoluble impasses — over the debt, over territory, over the currency, among a long list — they would here. There would have to be an election in the meantime, possibly further clouding the issue (what if the Scots returned a majority of unionist MPs?). But what if British pragmatism conquers all? What if, against the odds, they do manage to reach an agreement, in good time and with a minimum of fuss? Then we are in a pickle, that’s what — us, here, in Canada. Just when we thought we had put the separation issue to bed, at least for a while, the Scots might succeed in reawakening it. We should not underestimate how much of separatism’s decline in this country can be explained by sheer exhaustion, especially post-Clarity Act. A great many soft nationalists, for whom it retains a romantic appeal, were persuaded it was simply too arduous an undertaking, full of too much uncertainty and upheaval. But if that premise appeared to have been debunked — if the British pull off the same quick divorce that the Czechs and Slovaks did in the 1990s — we might yet see the issue resurface. You see, the Parti Québécois would crow? It is just as we told you. And Britain, of all places, has proved it. It wouldn’t prove anything of the kind,

of course. The two situations are vastly different, in ways that make nonsense of the comparison. Canada is not a bipolar arrangement, like the former Czechoslovakia, still less a quasi-unitary state like the U.K.: it is a federation of 10 provinces, each with its own jurisdiction and prerogatives. There is no representative body for “rest of Canada,” and any attempt to cook one up on the fly would find its legitimacy massively contested. Whereas there is little doubt that the government at Westminster would represent the U.K. in any negotiations. What is more, the British government could give effect to any needed constitutional modifications on its own, without, as in Canada, having to seek the (unanimous) approval of the provinces. There are other important differences. Scotland was a sovereign country prior to the union, within its present borders. The province of Quebec, by contrast, was created by Confederation; its current territory is the product of successive acts of Parliament. Unlike Quebec, the withdrawal of Scotland would not divide one part of what remained from the rest. Where Quebec makes up nearly a quarter of the population of Canada, Scotland is less than a tenth of the U.K.’s. There is ‘No’ Scottish equivalent to the Crees, the Mohawks, or the Inuit in Quebec: distinct sub-sub-national populations, with their own territorial claims). And so on. But of course all of these distinctions would be lost in the propaganda rush that would follow, should Scotland secede. Pray, then, for a ‘No’ vote next week — for our sake as much as Britain’s.

Real fast & tough remain key factors as eight Kootenay Ice head to NHL rookie camps this week Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice dressing room at Western Financial Place is about to get a little less crowded as the team sends eight players to NHL training camps this week. Tim Bozon, Sam Reinhart and Mackenzie Skapski did not return to Cranbrook for Kootenay Ice training camp or pre-season as they are expecting to make the full-time jump to the professional ranks. In addition to those three, five more players from Ice camp will be headed to the big leagues in pursuit of NHL opportunities. Forward Jaedon Descheneau, a fifth-round selection of the St. Louis Blues in 2014, will head to Traverse City, Mich. for the NHL Prospect Tournament featuring the Blues, Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota Wild and New York Rangers. The tournament runs from Sept. 12 to 16. After posting 44 goals and 98 points last season with the Ice, the 5-foot-9 Descheneau will look to dazzle the Blues brass with his speed and offensive flare. “I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from other guys there,” Descheneau said following practice Tuesday afternoon. “[I’ll] come back here and show the younger guys

here too. [I can] be more of a leader here. “Coming back to [Cranbrook], there’s nothing wrong with that. They’ve got a great organization here and a team that can go far in the playoffs.” Defenceman Tanner Faith, a fifth-round selection of the Minnesota Wild in 2014, will join Descheneau in Traverse City but in a different coloured uniform. An imposing figure at 6-foot-3 and 212 pounds, the 18-year-old Faith only dressed in 10 games last season due to injury. “I’m a little nervous, obviously,” Faith said Tuesday. “But I’m very excited to go there. Not playing last year, I’d just like to get back on the ice and play some games. “The speed and getting my timing down [is going to be the greatest challenge].” Faith isn’t the only blueliner heading east of the Kootenays. Defenceman Rinat Valiev, a third-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2014, will travel to London, Ont. and the Toronto Maple Leafs Rookie Tournament, which carries on from Sept. 13 to 16. “It feels good, Toronto is such a big organization,” Valiev said Tuesday afternoon. “I will try to play my best. I [want to] be there for a long time.” Valiev, a native of Nizhnekamsk, Russia, will face plenty of com-

petition at the rookie camp with seven other defencemen named to the roster. Included in that group is the highly-touted Matt Finn. The rearguard spent the 2013-14 season as the captain of the OHL’s Guelph Storm, registering 14 goals and 61 points in 66 games. The Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators will join the Leafs in London for the tournament. Forward Luke Philp will tag along with Valiev. The 18-year-old Philp is attending Maple Leafs rookie camp as an undrafted invitee after being passed over at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, despite being ranked 80th amongst North American skaters by the NHL Central Scouting Service. “I really don’t have much to lose,” Philp said Tuesday. “It’s a real good opportunity for me, so I’m just going to go out there and play the best I can. “Everyone is a lot stronger with every level you move up in. But I’ve worked hard this summer, so I think I’ll fit right in. I’ll be able to adjust to the speed and skill of the play.” Philp, like Descheneau, will look to impress with his speed and playmaking ability. The native of Canmore, Alta. tallied 31 goals and 77 points in 71 games last season in Cranbrook, so there is no questioning his nose for the net.

Forward Luke Philp is headed to Toronto Maple Leafs camp as an undrafted invitee. Philp, along with seven other Kootenay Ice players, will attend NHL camps beginning this week. Philp isn’t the only undrafted member of the Kootenay Ice heading to an NHL camp this week. Jon Martin will do the least travelling of the group as he joins the Vancouver Canucks in Penticton, B.C. for the Young Stars Classic Sept. 12 to 15. The 19-year-old native of Winnipeg, Man. has twice been passed over at the NHL Entry Draft and he sees this as

an opportunity to prove people wrong. “I’m going in there as an underdog,” Martin said Tuesday. “But I don’t mind. “My physical play, my speed, my shot — [I want] to show [the Canucks] and every other team what they passed up on.” Martin’s physical presence showed through training camp and at 6-foot-2 and 212

pounds, size will play a key role if Martin is to have success in impressing Canucks management this coming week. As for the rest of the squad, they continue to prepare for the final weekend of the WHL pre-season with practices on-going throughout the week. With five players leaving the familiar confines of Western Financial Place, the final two exhibition games

represent a golden opportunity for some of the younger players still in camp to prove they belong in Cranbrook full-time. Friday night, the Ice travel to Blairmore, Alta. where they will face the Lethbridge Hurricanes at 7 p.m. The team closes out the 2014 WHL pre-season Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. when they meet the Calgary Hitmen in Blairmore.

Questions arise about NFL inquiry into RB Ray Rice Rob Maaddi Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — As questions arose about the NFL’s original investigation of Ray Rice, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday the league asked for, but was not given, a just-released video showing the ex-Ravens running back punching his then-fiancee on an elevator. Goodell told CBS in an interview that “no one in the NFL, to my

knowledge’’ had seen a new video of what happened on the elevator until it was posted online. He also did not rule out the possibility of Rice’s returning to play in the NFL. Two videos, one released by TMZ Sports and another shown later to The Associated Press by a law enforcement official, show Rice punching Janay Palmer — who is now his wife — at an Atlantic City ca-

sino in February. After the TMZ video made its way around the Internet, the Ravens cut Rice and the league barred him indefinitely. In July, after another video released by TMZ showed Rice dragging Palmer out of the elevator but didn’t show what happened inside, Goodell suspended the player for two games. Earlier Tuesday, Palmer posted a statement on her Instagram account, saying that

barring Rice from playing football is “horrific’’ and that making the couple “relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing.’’ Meanwhile, the fallout for Rice continued. Nike severed its business ties with him, and video game publisher Electronic Arts said it would scrub Rice’s image from their latest Madden ‘15 release. In the videos that surfaced Monday, Rice

and Palmer are seen hitting each other before he knocks her off her feet and into a railing. The higher-quality video shown to the AP shows Rice made no attempt to cover up what happened. After Palmer collapses, he drags her out of the elevator and is met by some hotel staff. Someone is heard saying, “She’s drunk, right?’’ And then, “No cops.’’ Rice didn’t respond. The video was shown to the AP on condition

of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to release it. Coach John Harbaugh said he met with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, team president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome after they saw the TMZ video, and they made the decision to let Rice go. The action represented a complete reversal for the team, even though an Atlantic City police summons stated

that Rice caused “bodily injury to Janay Palmer, specifically by striking her with his hand, rendering her unconscious.’’ The Ravens had used words like “respect’’ and “proud’’ in referring to Rice following his arrest. Asked Monday night if Rice misled him, Harbaugh said he didn’t want to get into “all that.’’ Rice said in a news conference this summer that his actions that night were “inexcusable.’’

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: We were happy to see a vacant house on our block sell and were pleased to meet the new neighbors. We were willing to overlook the reek of tobacco and the cigarette butts in our driveway. The cat droppings in our flower and vegetable beds were harder to take. The real problem is that their teenagers race up and down the street at all hours and then park in front of our house smoking and playing with their phones while revving their very loud engines, setting our teeth on edge. These folks have a two-car garage, a concrete parking pad and a long driveway. Why are they parking on the street, let alone in front of the neighbors? We wanted to like these people, but now we just wish they would move out. Any suggestions? Talking to them didn’t help. -- Disappointed Neighbor Dear Neighbor: Are there ordinances in your town prohibiting noise after a certain hour or leaving garbage on your property? If so, call the police when necessary. Do you have a neighborhood association that mediates disputes? Sometimes these things can be worked out with a third-party mediator. In the meantime, put up fences, block your driveway with plastic cones, have fans to block the noise and do whatever you need to in order to protect yourself from these barbarians until one of you moves or the kids leave. Dear Annie: About a year ago, my very bright 16-year-old granddaughter was diagnosed with schizencephaly, a very rare disease, and she has had seizures. She was put on medications and then was free of seizures for eight months. But recently, she had another seizure, and her medication is being reconsidered. How can I find out how to be helpful and supportive? She lives two hours away, and I no longer drive. Is there an organization for this? -- Deeply Concerned Old Grandma Dear Grandma: Schizencephaly is a birth defect that is extremely rare and can cause delays in speech and language skills, some paralysis and seizures. Doctors believe the causes include exposure to toxins or medications during pregnancy. We found one support group at schizkidzbuddies.com, and you also can get information through wearerare.org/support for those with rare diseases. Bless you for wanting to help your grandchild in any way you can. Dear Annie: I have a piece of advice for “Red Hat Mama,” who is still waiting for a guy to ask her out. There are a lot of men who are uncomfortable asking out women we see only at church. All of my lady friends are women who asked me first. I might appear to have no problem with a friendly conversation, but it’s not the same as asking someone for a date. I’m debating wearing a button that says, “Please Ask Me.” Then when someone asks me what the button means, I can tell them that I’m more than happy for new friends to ask me to join them for activities. I’m not that interested in becoming intimate or getting married, but I find it tremendously difficult to embarrass myself by asking a woman to join me and possibly getting a negative response. I’m not one of those men who can tell at a glance whether someone is interested in me. I have mild Asperger’s, and I don’t read people well. So, Red Hot Mama and all of your cousins, please feel free to ask me. We can have a soda, share a pizza, play cards or get together with other friends. But you need to do the asking. -- “Please Ask Me” John Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
