Celebrating Canada Day Connect Church will help Cranbrook mark 148 years of Confederation, Wednesday at Moir Park
TRE VO R CR AWL EY
With July fast approaching, Connect Church is taking the lead on organizing the Canada Day celebration at Moir Park and they’re hoping to build off the success from last year. “Last year was great, we had a phenomenal turnout,” said Pastor Frank Hackett, Some numbers said 4,000 others numbers said 6,000 so it’s hard to say. “It was extremely well attended and an awesome family day.” This year, the theme seems to be bigger and better. There will be three stages—the
main stage, a kids stage and a side stage for buskers that will be facing a mini-farmer’s market. Musical acts include Shred Kelly, The Testers, The Good Ole Goats, Dani Strong and the Connect Band. In addition to music, there will be Glow Zumba, PT the Clown, Retro Aerobics, buskers, games, vendors, clowns, bouncy castles and more. “People like a lot of variety of things to do,” said Hackett. “People want to have their kids jump on a bouncy castle, then they want to sit and listen to music, then they want
Police and community partners lead to arrest RCMP
to go pick from 10 different food vendors, then they want to go throw a frisbee, then they want to go run through a sprinkler for a while. “Having a variety of different activities and things to do with your kids seemed to be a big hit.” Everything starts at 5 p.m. with a photo op at 7:30 where people— who are encouraged to wear red and white—can gather en masse to take the shape of a Canadian flag. Of course, one of the main attractions will be the fireworks to wrap up the celebrations.

The RCMP was successful in arresting a subject in a very short time thanks to the leads and cooperation from the community and media partners. A vehicle was reported stolen from the Cherry Creek area in Kimberley on Tuesday, June 23. Police issued a press release advising of the theft which was broadcast through local media outlets. Within a very short time, a person called the Cranbrook RCMP saying the vehicle was parked not far from the police station. Officers attended and noted a nearby business with video surveillance. From that
they were able to obtain a photo a subject involved in the theft. Officers viewed the photo and identified the suspect. Officers went to a location where they knew the subject normally hangs out, located the subject and made an arrest. The male from Cranbrook was released for a court at a later date. Police will be recommending charges of Possession of Stolen Property. Cpl Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP said in a press release that this is excellent example of the community, media and police working together for successful arrest.

Wildfire breaks out just northeast of Cranbrook Tre vor Cr awl ey
Fire crews battled a 2.5-hectare grass and tree wildfire a few kilometres northeast of Cranbrook on Thursday. Reported at 1 p.m., the fire was quickly attended to by one 20-person crew, an initial attack crew, and aircraft. The cause is currently under investigation. Fanny Bernard, a fire information officer with the Southeast Fire Centre, is warning people to be careful in light of the current heat wave in the region. There is currently a Category Two open fire ban in the region. Bernard also referenced the dangers that come from a recent lightning storm that passed through the region a few days ago. Though precipitation can dampen embers from a lightning strike, there is still a danger from holdover fires. “Holdover fires are what happens when a tree blows up from lightning and sends embers around the impact area,” Bernard said. “They smoulder, because maybe
the conditions are ripe for it to flare up again…then you get a few days of dry weather, wind—this weather that we’ve been having lately is perfect for fires to ignite again from holdovers.” Campfires are not currently restricted, but Bernard urges people to be safe and vigilant about their fire activities. Be mindful of a campfire site selection—don’t start a fire on organic soil or a tree root system and make sure there is a one-metre guard from any combustable materials. Make sure you have eight litres of water to put the fire out or have a hand tool such as a shovel for the same purpose. If it is windy, having a campfire is not a good idea and don’t ever leave a fire unattended, Bernard added. Be mindful of driving and parking off-road ATVs and dirt bikes as well, she added, as the heat from the exhaust can be ignite dry grass and spark a wildfire event. To report a wildfire, dial *5555 on a cellphone, or call 1-800-663-5555.

Police seize a quantity of prescription drugs F o r t h e To w n s m a n
Police executed a search warrant in Kimberley on June 20, seizing a large number of pills. Well over 60 pills were seized many of which are prescription drugs. Identification of the pills is ongoing but police believe approximately half of the pills are Oxycodone; there is also Morphine. A small quantity of marijuana and cocaine was also seized. The search warrant was executed by the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction team at an apartment on Knighton Road in Kimberley. Once inside police located two males, 14 and 17, who were taken into custody but released pending further investigation. Police found sufficient evidence in the apartment to support charges of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking. In addition police found several weapons including bear spray, a butterfly knife and pellet gun that looks very similar to a real fire-
arm. The tenant of the apartment — a 30-yearold woman — was not present at the time of the search. She was arrested several days later and taken before a
Judicial Justice of the Peace on drug charges. She was released for court at a later date with a number of conditions. Police have contacted Children and Family
Services with respect to the youth that were present. Persons can be in possession of drugs prescribed by their doctor but it’s an offence to sell them.

Region hit with major heat wave Trevor Crawley Hot desert air moved into Southwestern British Columbia this past weekend, with daily highs reaching mid to high thirties over much of the region. For parts of the Southern Interior daily
highs were forecast to reach 40 degrees Celsius on Saturday and Sunday. Several daily temperature records were likely to fall with the possibility of monthly records falling come the end of June. Temperatures are ex-
pected to cool slightly this week, as a weak weather disturbance brings the potential for scattered thunderstorms but afterward conditions still remain hot through Canada Day. High temperatures
can be dangerous especially if you have heart problems and breathing difficulties. Be aware of the symptoms of heat-related illness. When it is hot and when you are active on a warm day, drink plenty of fluids. Drink extra
2015 PROPERTY TAX NOTICES Property Tax Notices for the City of Cranbrook have now been mailed to all property owners on record. If you have not already received your notice, please contact City Hall at (250)-426-4211 so that a copy may be forwarded to you.
water even before you feel thirsty. Ask your health care provider about how much water you should drink on hot days if you are on water pills or limiting your fluid intake. Regularly check older adults, children and others for signs of heat-related illness and make sure they are keeping cool and drinking plenty of fluids. Check on those who are unable to leave their homes, and people with
emotional or mental health concerns whose judgment may be impaired. In addition, the City of Cranbrook Bylaw Services has been inundated with phone calls of dogs being left in hot vehicles. With the temperatures forecast to be in the mid to high 30’s for at least the next week, it is extremely important that pets are not left inside vehiclesfor any reason.
If you see a dog left in a vehicle, please contact the BC SPCA hotline at 1-855-622-7722. Although the SPCA does not have the authority to remove pets from vehicles, they will attend the scene and contact the RCMP if the dog is in critical distress. The RCMP is the only body who can remove pets from vehicles. Take good care of your dog; please do not leave them in your vehicle for any reason.
Taxes are due on July 2, 2015, after which time a 10% penalty will be added to any unpaid current taxes. Home Owner Grants may be claimed even if current taxes are not paid in full. Penalties apply to Home Owner Grants not claimed by July 2, 2015. If you are participating in the pre-authorized payment program, please note that the prepayment amount on your tax notice includes the May 15th and June 15th payments. As your prepayment amounts were based on an estimate there may still be a balance owing. To avoid a penalty, please review your Tax Notice carefully and make sure you pay any outstanding balance prior to July 2, 2015. To help you avoid the last minute rush, we accept post-dated cheques. We also accept Interac Debit Card payments. Payment may also be made by telephone/pc banking and through most financial institutions. You must still claim the Home Owner Grant at City Hall or online via the link on the www.cranbrook.ca website. ________________________________________________________________________________________
PREPAYMENT OF 2016 PROPERTY TAXES The City of Cranbrook is continuing to offer a property tax prepayment plan. Now you can budget your property taxes and avoid the July property tax “blues”. Monthly tax payments are made through your bank by preauthorized debits on the 15th of each month, starting in July 2015 for the 2016 taxation year. Application forms are available from the City Hall Tax Department. If you would like one mailed, please contact us at (250)-426-4211. If you are currently enrolled in the pre-authorized tax payment program, any overpayment on the 2015 property taxes will be applied to the first payment(s) for 2016. _______________________________________________________________________________________
2015 TAX DEFERMENT PROGRAMS You may defer payment of property taxes if you meet the following basic qualifications: • Canadian citizen or landed immigrant having lived in British Columbia for at least one year; and • registered owner of the property, and the property is your principal residence Specific Program eligibility requirements: Regular Deferment Program • 55 years or older, or widow/widower, or a person with a disability as defined by Regulation; and • 25% equity position in your home (based on the 2015 BC Assessment property value) Families with Children Deferment Program • Sign a declaration that you are financially supporting a child under the age of 18 at any time during the calendar year; and • 15% equity position in your home (based on the 2015 BC Assessment property value) NOTE: Before applying for any of these tax deferment programs, you must pay all penalties, interest, previous years’ property taxes, and utility charges, as these charges cannot be deferred.

Canada Day festivities — always a very well-celebrated affair — are set for Wednesday, July 1 in Moir Park.
Canada turns 148 on Wednesday Continued from page 1 The fellow who’s putting it on does a great job and we’ve raised about $11,000 for him just on the fireworks,” said Hackett. It’s the second straight year for having the Canada Day celebrations at Moir Park, which comes with a few challenges. “Everybody be prepared to walk for a while afterwards or wait in line if you do get a spot in the parking lot. It’s going to be 20 minutes before you get out of there and it is what it is,” said Hackett. Additionally, south-
ern B.C. is currently experiencing a heat wave, so Hackett warns people to be sun-smart. “We’ve got some cool-down stations now that we’ve added now that we’ve seen the forecast,” he said. “We want people to be sunsmart, bring a lawn chair, but maybe bring an umbrella if you’ve got it, or at least a high SPF sunscreen and we’ll have lots of water there for people to stay hydrated.” While Connect is organizing the event, it wouldn’t be possible without the support of
the business community in Cranbrook. There is a $35,000 budget for the celebrations and roughly $31,000 has been raised through sponsorships. “It’s been great to see the businesses step up and make it happen,” Hackett said. If businesses wish to help sponsor the Canada Day celebrations, contact Sarah Turk at turk@connectcranbrook.com or call 250421-3858.

There was a fire in the wood pile at the Wasa Transfer Station on Thursday evening, which has been contained to the three or four piles on west side, with good road buffers around. As of press time, the cause is currently under investigation.
Wasa Transfer Station fire quickly doused For the Townsman
Swift response by RDEK Staff, contractors and a Wildfire Management Branch crew helped quickly extinguish a fire in the wood pile at the Wasa Transfer Station Thursday evening. “We got the call at about 7:30pm last night and when we arrived on scene, we found three or four of the wood piles fully engulfed,” explains
RDEK Environmental Services Manager Kevin Paterson. “We were able to get water on the fire right away and there was never any risk of it spreading beyond the confined area of the wood piles.” Staff were on site Friday with additional water to continue dealing with hot spots. “We have procedures in place to deal with events like these at our
sites, and we were very pleased with how well things worked,” adds Paterson. “Our sincere thanks go out to the Wildfire Management Branch, Astraff Contracting equipment and Southeast Contracting who provided the water truck. Their assistance was critical in getting the fire extinguished so quickly.” The cause of the fire is unknown.

Cartoons of Muhammad Again
W
ould it be all right if I called Geert Wilders a piece of human waste? No? Damn. Well, then, can I call him a deeply cynical politician who is willing to get people killed to advance his political career? Okay, thanks. Geert Wilders is a deeply cynical Dutch politician who is willing to get people killed to advance his political career. Sometimes they are Muslims, sometimes they are people of Christian heritage — that doesn’t really matter, so long as he reaps the publicity. And now he has come up with a clever new way to outrage foolish young Muslims and get them to murder people for him. Wilders realised that a little-known Dutch law obliges the television networks to show ANYTHING that a politician wishes to include in a party political broadcast. No censorship is allowed on grounds of truth, of taste, or even of safety. So the far-right politician, whose whole political career has been based on attacking Islam, decided to air some truly nasty cartoons about the Prophet Muhammad. One shows a man labelled “Muhammad” with snakes in his beard. Another shows a rather loony-looking young man who is clearly labelled “The Prophet Muhammad”. A third shows somebody who is probably meant to be Muhammad on a unicycle, juggling five chopped-off heads with letters attached that spell ISLAM. Not funny, not clever, not really even topical. Just nasty. Most Muslims are uncomfortable with images of Muhammad, and many believe that they are blasphemous. That doesn’t mean that democratic, pluralist societies like those of the West should ban such images. Freedom of speech means that any group, including any religious group,
should accept that it may be criticised, even mocked in public. You cannot demand special treatment just because your feelings will be hurt. But you can and should expect not to be singled out for hatred simply because of your particular religious beliefs. You have the right to be protected from rhetoric that deliberately confounds innocent believers with terrorists (as Wilders regularly does). And you certainly have right to be protected from incitements to violence. There is a world of Gwynne difference between Geert Wilders and the Dyer dozen people who were murdered by Islamist extremists at the satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo” last January. They were equal-opportunity cartoonists who targeted everybody with equal irreverence and a fine absence of discrimination; Wilders is a monomaniac who wants to ban the Koran in the Netherlands because it is “like (Adolf Hitler’s) Mein Kampf”. But he is a devious monomaniac, because the people he is really trying to incite to violence are Muslims. If he can trick ignorant Muslims into killing people by portraying the Prophet Muhammad in ugly and insulting cartoons, he wins. The cartoons Wilders has insisted be broadcast on Dutch television were originally shown at an event in Texas last month which awarded a $10,000 prize for the best (i.e. worst) cartoon about Muhammad. The organisers were trying to provoke a reaction, so they invited Wilders to give the event a higher profile. It worked wonderfully: two simplistic young fanatics tried to attack the conference, and were shot dead in the car park. So Wilders brought copies of the cartoons home with him, and announced
that he would broadcast them on Dutch television as a defence of free speech. The broadcast was supposed to go out in the Netherlands on Saturday, but somebody at the NPO1 television network managed to mislay the tape Wilders had given them. He was furiously indignant about that, of course, and insisted that his right as a party leader to put anything he wants on the party political broadcasts must be respected. He says he has now been promised that it will go out on Wednesday evening. If the promise is kept, the rioting and killing will probably have started by the time you read this. Wilders knows perfectly well that this will happen, and is content that it should. He and his anti-Muslim allies on the far right of Dutch politics are what Marxists used to call the “objective allies” of the bearded Muslim extremists screaming for blood in the streets and the more calculating Muslim leaders who urge those fanatics to go out and commit violence in the name of “defending” Islam. Both parties, however much they hate each other, have a common interest in keeping the outrage level among their followers high, and they tacitly cooperate to keep the pot boiling. The poor old media know they are being manipulated and exploited by people with truly reprehensible agendas, but they cannot simply refuse to report the news, even if it is manufactured news (as is so often the case). And so, in a world where most people of any religion or none simply want to get on with their neighbours and lead a quiet life, we are fed a constant diet of lies that shows us a world full of blood-thirsty, hate-filled extremists. Oh, and by the way: Geert Wilders is a piece of human waste. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist published in 45 countries.

Jumbo Resort: 1982-2015 What’s Up?
A project timeline, from a regional tourism study identiying the Upper Jumbo Valley as an ideal area for a ski resort to B .C. Environment Minister Mary Polak’s ruling that Glacier Resorts Ltd. did not achieve the required substantial start Columbia Valley Pioneer
1982 – A regional tourism study jointly funded by the provincial and federal governments identifies the Upper Jumbo Valley as an ideal area for an international-scale destination ski resort. 1990 – Pheidias Project Management Corp., a company headed by renown ski resort designer Oberto Oberti, discusses the idea of a year-round ski resort in the Upper Jumbo Valley with the B.C. Ministry of Lands and Parks. 1991 – Pheidias, on behalf of a consortium of investors called Glacier Resorts Ltd., formally submits a proposal for the resort to provincial government under the Commercial Alpine Skiing Policy (CASP) process. Over the next several years local residents express strong opinions and form groups both in opposition to and in support of the project. Campaigns for and against the resort continue from then up until the present, with both sides of the debate claiming the support of the majority of valley residents 1993 – The provincial government makes a proposal call and selects Glacier Resorts Ltd. as the sole proponent for the project and signs interim agreement with the company. CASP process for Jumbo is put on hold while the Commission on Resources and the Environment (CORE) process (which was initiated in 1992 and includes a specific land use decision on the Upper Jumbo Valley) is conducted. 1994 – The East Kootenay CORE table wraps up its review process. The CORE meeting at which the Jumbo land use question is to be addressed is attended by 22 sectors of the table, and during a vote on the matter, 18 sectors vote in favour of the proposed resort and four sectors vote against it. 1995 – B.C. Environment, Lands and Park minister Moe Sihota announces approval of the Jumbo project. The project proponents then begin an environmental

The certificate contains a provision that proponents must get zoning and other necessary approvals from the RDEK prior to starting construction. 2005 – The RDEK board of directors votes narrowly (exact numbers unavailable) to rescind its 1996 resolution requesting the province create a mountain resort municipality in the Jumbo area. • Invermere-based RK Heliski launches a legal petition for a judicial review of the province’s decision to grant the environmental assessment certificate, alleging that the proposed resort’s negative impact its businesses were not properly considered. After a four-day hearing, the B.C. Supreme Court dismisses the case. 2006 – The RDEK board of directors vote 13-2 against a motion by Sparwood mayor David Wilks to again request the province create a special municipality in the Upper Jumbo Valley
2007 - The provincial government formally approves the Master Plan for Jumbo Glacier Resort 2008 – Anti-Jumbo protestor blockade efforts by Glacier Resort Ltd. to construct a new road to the Farnham Glacier and a temporary platter lift on it. • A random digit dial telephone survey of 910 Kootenay residents conducted by independent company McAllister Opinion Research finds 63 per cent of respondents opposed to the proposed Jumbo resort, 19 per cent in favour, seven per cent neutral and 11 per cent with no opinion. Critics slam the survey for being partly commissioned by East Kootenay environmental group Wildsight and for being too small a sample size. McAllister maintains Wildisght did not influence the survey results and said the sample size was scientifically sound. 2009 – The provincial government extends the proponent’s environmental assessment certificate for a further and final five-year period, leaving an October 12th, 2014 final deadline for the start of substantial construction on the project. • The RDEK board of directors votes 8-7 in favour of another motion by Sparwood mayor David Wilks requesting the province to designate the proposed resort area as a mountain resort municipality. 2012 – B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Minister of Forest, Lands and
Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson sign a Master Development Agreement for the project with Glacier Resorts Ltd. • The RDEK board of directors votes 8-7 against a motion by Area G director Gerry Wilkie to rescind its 2009 resolution asking the province to designate Jumbo Valley as mountain resort municipality. • Following amendment made to the provincial Local Government Act, B.C. Community Development Minister Bill Bennett formally announces the creation and incorporation of Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality and appoints Greg Deck as mayor along with two councillors. • The Ktunaxa First Nation launches lawsuit against the province, petitioning for a judicial review of the government’s decision to sign the Master Development Agreement, alleging that the Ktunaxa were not properly consulted and that the resort would infringe on territory they hold sacred. 2013 – West Kootenay Ecosociety launches legal case, filing a petition for judicial review of the government’s decision to incorporate Jumbo, just a day before the first Jumbo council meeting. • Jumbo municipality begins holding regular council meetings and after a few months, passes its first zoning bylaw, which allows for construction in the Farnham Glacier part of the
resort. • Anti-Jumbo protest takes on a new tone, literally, as local Jumbo opponents with musical aptitude volunteer to be part of an orchestra art installation on the Farnham Glacier. • Other anti-Jumbo protesters set up watchdog camp on the access road to Farnham. Developers attempting to conduct soil testing allege campers are blockading them and seek injunction in court. The injunction is shelved indefinitely, with the end result that protesters can remain camped on the road and developers can access the Farnham Glacier unimpeded. 2014 – The B.C. Supreme Court dismisses the Ktunaxa Nation’s 2012 petition for judicial review. Ktunaxa announce plans to appeal the decision. • Jumbo municipality passes zoning bylaw allowing for construction in Upper Jumbo Valley part of the resort • In late September and early October heavy machinery and trucks roll into the Upper Jumbo Valley, workers pours foundations for a day lodge and a service building, and do clearing for a ski lift line, ahead of the October 12th substantial start deadline 2015 – EAO determines that the foundations are partially within an avalanche hazard zone and consequently not compliant with the project’s environmental assessment certificate • Ktunaxa appeal of the 2014 ruling on its case is heard in court. Decisions expected to take several months. • B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rules that Glacier Resorts Ltd. did not achieve the required substantial start, that consequently the project’s environmental assessment certificate has expired, and that a new certificate will be needed for the project to continue • new Shuswap Indian Band chief Barb Cote announces Shuswap band members will vote to decide whether or not to continue the band’s support of Jumbo resort

Facts about drugs and medications Here’s why you should be extra careful if you‘re taking any medications or drugs when driving: • Many prescription medicines and over-thecounter drugs can leave you impaired under the Criminal Code. • Drugs for cold, flu, allergies and nausea can cause your attention to wander, slow your reaction time and make you drowsy. • When mixed with alcohol, these drugs can become deadly. There are of course some instances where you need to take prescribed medications (such as certain medical conditions like diabetes or epilepsy). Make sure you read the labels carefully and check with your doctor or pharmacist so you’re safe to drive while taking certain drugs.

Plenty of action at 2015 NHL Entry Draft Wheat Kings defenceman Ivan Provorov top selection from WHL; McDavid goes to Edmonton as expected
For The Townsman
CALGARY, Alta. – The Western Hockey League is proud to announce 35 WHL players were selected in the 2015 NHL Draft at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. Five of the WHL players selected in the 2015 NHL Draft were chosen in the first round. Ivan Provorov of the Brandon Wheat Kings was the first WHL player selected in the 2015 NHL Draft, chosen by the Philadelphia Flyers with the seventh overall pick. Provorov, a product of Yaroslavl, Russia, recently completed his rookie season with the Wheat Kings after electing to play in the WHL. A 6-foot, 200-pound defenceman, Provorov was voted the Eastern Conference Defenceman of the Year after posting 61 points (15g46a) in 60 games played which was also tops amongst WHL rookie skaters. Provorov went on to put up 13 points (2g-11a) in 19 games during the 2015 WHL Playoffs. Provorov was
selected by Brandon 30th overall in the 2014 CHL Import Draft. Forward Jake DeBrusk of the Swift Current Broncos was the second WHL player selected with the Boston Bruins’ 14th overall pick. DeBrusk recently completed his second season in the WHL in which he
posted 81 points (42g39a) and played in all 72 games. DeBrusk becomes the second-highest Broncos player to ever be selected in the NHL Draft. The Edmonton, AB native was selected by the Broncos 137th overall in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. After a trade that saw the New York Islanders acquire the 16th overall pick, Seattle Thunderbirds forward Mathew Barzal heard his name called by the Islanders.
The first overall pick from the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft posted 57 points (12g-45a) in just 44 games during the 2014-15 WHL Regular Season. Barzal is the 15th Thunderbird to be selected in the first round of the NHL Draft. Rounding out the first round of WHL selections, Everett Silvertips defenceman Julius Noah Juulsen was selected 26th overall by the Montreal Canadiens and Kelowna Rockets forward Nick Merkley was selected 30thoverall by the Arizona Coyotes. A total of 18 WHL forwards were selected in the 2015 NHL Draft while 15 defencemen and two goaltenders were chosen. Since the NHL Draft’s inception in 1969, a total of 1,889 WHL players have been selected by NHL Clubs. No Kootenay Ice players were selected . Ice forward Luke Philp was ranked 172nd amongst North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting heading into the draft.
Flames strengthen blueline at draft Stephen Whyno Canadian Press
SUNRISE, Fla. - On the first day of the NHL draft the Calgary Flames got a defenceman for the present in Dougie Hamilton. On the second day, they made a strong commitment to their blue line of the future. With their first two picks, the Flames took Swedish defencemen Rasmus Andersson 53rd and traded up to get Oliver Kylington at No. 60. “We looked at guys where we thought there was room for growth,” Flames general manager Brad Treliving said. “The ceiling for these guys was high. And in both cases they’re skilled players.” Andersson was almost a point-a-game player for the Ontario Hockey League’s Barrie Colts, but the Kylington selection looked like it could be a steal not too far down the road.
Kylington was considered a first-round pick and could’ve been taken in the top 15. In the vein of 2007 second-rounder P.K. Subban, Kylington is motivated by falling so far in the draft. “Maybe I’ll follow his footsteps,” Kylington said. “I think it’s better for me. I think it makes me want to show everybody that maybe you should’ve picked me (in the top) 15.” Instead, the smooth-skating offensive defenceman fell deep into the second round and to the Flames, who spent the weekend strengthening their defence. Getting Hamilton for draft picks was a coup for Treliving on Friday, and these picks earned him some more praise. “We go away today from where we came in two days ago in terms of our defence depth chart, I think we’ve helped ourselves a lot,” Treliv-
ing said. Hamilton is just 22, and Kylington said he hopes to be playing with the former Bruins defenceman soon. “Hopefully we can be a good pair together,” Kylington said. Kylington has a year and an option year left on his contract in Sweden, which does include an NHL out clause. “Oliver, he’s an interesting player,” Treliving said. “Prior to the start of the year this guy’s talked about as one of the top players in the draft. He’s an elite skater. He’s as good a skater as there is in the draft. Now we’ve got to refine his game.” Beyond Andersson and Kylington, the Flames also selected Belarusian winger Pavel Karnaukhov 136th, Barrie Colts left-winger Andrew Mangiapane 166th and North Bay Battalion defenceman Riley Bruce 196th.

Canucks deal Lack at draft John Chidley-Hill Canadian Press
SUNRISE, Fla. - Moving Eddie Lack was inevitable for the Vancouver Canucks, but that didn’t make it any easier. Lack was sent to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday morning before the second day of the NHL Draft could formally begin. In return, Vancouver got a third round pick for later in the day and a seventh round pick in 2016. Although Lack had been a solid backup goaltender for the Canucks, he will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season and Vancouver couldn’t afford to keep him in the long run. “Obviously we were going to have to make a big commitment or lose him to free agency,” said Canucks president of hockey operations Trevor Linden on the draft floor. “If you’re not prepared to do that, you need to replace that with a young asset and that was the 66th pick. “Obviously, it’s a
third round pick but it’s a very deep third and there was a player there we really liked. It worked out well for us.” That third round pick became Guillaume Brisebois, a six-foot-two defenceman with the Acadie-Bathurst Titan of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The 27-year-old Lack had a 34-30 record for the Canucks in 82 games over the past two seasons. He has a .917 save percentage in that time with a 2.45 goals-against average. Jacob Markstrom becomes the Canucks backup goaltender behind Ryan Miller. Markstrom is two years younger than Lack. He’s played in 50 NHL games split over five seasons between the Florida Panthers and Vancouver. He has a career 13-28 record with a .896 save percentage and 3.08 GAA. With Miller and Lack solid in net for the Canucks last season, Markstrom spent most of his time with the American
Hockey League’s Utica Comets where he earned a 22-7 record with a .934 save percentage and 1.88 GAA. He’ll become a restricted free agent this off-season. “These decisions are difficult,” said Linden. “The circle of life is one that you have to give up things to get younger. I know Eddie was popular. He’s a great person and well liked. It was a difficult decision.” Vancouver’s depth in net doesn’t end there, with 2014 second-round pick Thatcher Demko progressing nicely at Boston College. The Canucks selected right-winger Brock Boeser in the first round, 23rd overall. Russian centre Dmitry Zhukenov was next in the fourth round, followed by defenceman Carl Neill and centre Adam Gaudette both in the fifth. Vancouver took right-winger Lukas Jasek of the Czech Republic in the sixth and finished its draft with defenceman Tate Olson in the seventh.
Oilers select McDavid first overall Tim Reynolds Associated Press
SUNRISE, Fla. - Connor McDavid is now officially a No. 1 overall draft pick. The long-expected move became reality Friday night when the Edmonton Oilers grabbed the centre who will immediately face the burden of enormous expectation. Not only will he be playing in the place where Wayne Gretzky became a superstar, but he also already draws comparisons to Sidney Crosby and even LeBron James. McDavid averaged nearly three points per game this past season for his Ontario Hockey League junior team in Erie, Pennsylvania. He registered at least one goal or assist in 27 consecutive games, the longest such stretch in the OHL in nearly a decade. He becomes the fourth No. 1 pick heading to Edmonton in the last six drafts.

Canada eliminated at Women’s World Cup Nation exits tournament in pain but looks to future with hope
Neil Davidson Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - The aftermath of Canada’s exit from the Women’s World Cup was gut-wrenching. Captain Christine Sinclair, who strapped the team on her back and tried to carry it to the final four, was in tears as she needlessly apologized to coach John Herdman following Canada’s 2-1 quarter-final loss to England. Teenage defender Kadeisha Buchanan, who deserves to be on the tournament all-star team, sobbed as she knelt on the field at B.C. Place Stadium. “They gave their best. And our best just wasn’t good enough,” said Herdman. It was a moment of public clarity from a charismatic and talented coach who pulls every string on the Canadian team. There is little unscripted from Herdman. He was gutted Saturday. “I’m a bit emotional at the minute,” he confessed. Goals conceded in
the 11th and 14th minutes did eighth-ranked Canada in. Lack of offence, a chronic problem, prevented a comeback although Sinclair took advantage of a goalkeeping gaffe to pull Canada within one in the 42nd minute. Herdman accepted blame for the second goal, a set piece that saw England’s Lucy Bronze take advantage of fullback Allysha Chapman’s lack of height. England captain Steph Houghton said later it was a matchup her team had targeted. The first goal came off a handling error by centre back Lauren Sesselmann. “You play at this level (and) what’s going to win a match, it’s an error like that or a set piece and we got done in both situations,” said Herdman. When a reporter trying to get a comment on Sesselmann’s play by asking about the “girl who made the mistake tonight,” Herdman replied: “Which one?” “There was a few mistakes tonight,” he said.
His point was that Sesselmann was not the villain of the piece. Herdman was forced to defend his lineup selections, saying the team’s leadership had endorsed it. Still he drew criticism from Fox TV commentators. “There’s a coach who feels that he’s such a good motivator that he can make his players better than they sometimes are. I think he got this one wrong,” said former U.S. international Eric Wynalda. “He has mismanaged this World Cup for his team,” added former Canadian international Christine Latham. If anything Herdman can be accused of micro-managing a squad limited in depth and hampered by injury. Players like Sophie Schmidt (hip), Buchanan (abdominal sprain) and Chapman (oblique) were playing through pain. But the bottom line is his players love him and Herdman has put women’s soccer on the map in this country. He acknowledges
Bubba Watson wins PGA’s Travelers Championship in playoff Pat Eaton-Robb Associated Press
CROMWELL, Conn. - Bubba Watson made an 8-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to outlast Paul Casey and win the Travelers Championship for the second time. Casey had overcome a three-stroke deficit with five to play, tying Watson at 16-under 264. But Casey lost his chance at the title while playing the par-4 18th for the third time, when his third shot from a greenside bunker flew over the green and landed on the cart path. Watson, meanwhile, hit his 160-
yard approach just to the right of the hole. Watson had a chance to win in regulation, but bogeyed the 17th, while Casey closed with three birdies on the final five holes, sandwiched around a bogey on 15. Watson finished with a 67 at TPC River Highlands, and Casey shot 65. Watson also won a playoff in the WGC-HSBC Champions in China in November at the start of the season. He won the Travelers in 2010 for his first PGA Tour title. This was the sixth time since 2004 the tournament has been decided in a playoff.
Blue Jays defeat Texas Rangers Melissa Couto Canadian Press
TORONTO - Drew Hutchison pitched effectively for his fifth straight win, and Roberto Osuna closed out a tight game as the Toronto Blue Jays edged the Texas Rangers 3-2 on Sunday. Osuna came into the game with two out and two on in the eighth after Steve Delabar gave up a lead-off double and
walk. Osuna struck out Shin-Soo Choo to end the inning, and worked around a lead-off double in the ninth for his second save of the season. Hutchison (8-1) struck out eight batters and gave up four hits, three walks and one unearned run over 5 2-3 innings. Josh Donaldson hit a home run for the Blue Jays (41-36), who were
outhit 9-4. Devon Travis and Jose Reyes had an RBI apiece. Elvis Andrus had three hits and an RBI and Adrian Beltre drove in a run for the Rangers (38-38). Rougned Odor had three hits. Chi Chi Gonzalez (2-3) went six innings for Texas, allowing three earned runs on four hits and four walks. He also struck out three.
there is more work to be done. “This is where we’re at,” said Herdman when asked if we had seen the best of Canada at the tournament. Herdman pointed to Canada’s previous coaching turnover, saying that meant there was no 10-year master plan to have players peak at this tournament. “But we did it. Our country got behind us, they’ve had a great time, great experience. and there’s going to be a new generation of women, players, coaches that have been motivated by what they’ve seen ... So I’m absolutely clear that, whatever happened, we needed to get to the knockout rounds, we needed to get to the quarter-finals. “If we’d went all the way, we were punching well above our weight but I believe this team had the spirit to do it.” The team that had inspired Canada with its 2012 Olympic bronze medal run showed it still had the nation’s heart. The Canadian women drew 241,904
fans to their five tournament games and each one was a love-in. While the numbers say exiting in the quarter-finals is about right for No. 8 Canada, the World Cup draw was very benign for the hosts. Finishing first in a group with the 12thranked Netherlands, No. 16 China and No. 17 New Zealand earned Canada a date with No. 19 Switzerland. Canada, a cut below elite teams like Germany, France, Japan, and the U.S., was never going to win the tournament. But the semifinals beckoned given the draw. No. 6 England represented Canada’s first higher-ranked opponent. With just four goals in five games, Canada’s offence ranked 10th at the tournament. Its three goals conceded represented the fourth stingiest defence. The Canadian women tied for sixth with 61 shots and 10th in shots on target (20). They hit the woodwork four times, most in the tournament.
Herdman was incredulous as he recounted Sinclair’s tearful post-game apology. Sinclair single-handedly triggered a stirring fightback with her 155th career international goal. “She can’t say sorry. She was just a legend again tonight. She was outstanding,” said Herdman. “Answered some of the critics. Stood up in the big moment when she needed to.” Sinclair, who denied playing through injury, said she will be back. Herdman pointed to Sinclair, veteran goalkeeper Erin McLeod and particularly youngsters Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence, as the day’s standout performers. “When you look at those youngsters, I think there’s a new DNA coming through. There’s a new breed of Herdman that we’re bringing through and it was a transitional team, we knew that.” The 2016 Olympics are the next hurdle and Herdman will be forced to cull his squad somewhat since the Olympic roster is 18 instead of
the World Cup’s 23. While the Canadian women need not hang their heads for their performance on the field, they did not win kudos for their reaction to Saturday’s loss. After keeping the media waiting for close to two hours, they walked through the mixed zone almost en masse, leaving Sinclair and Schmidt to talk to reporters while others made their escape. Representing your country comes with responsibility. Win or lose. While disappointing, Canada’s emotional and somewhat petulant offthe-field exit does not come as a surprise. The team clearly felt during the tournament that it was getting unduly harsh criticism from the domestic media. Herdman, meanwhile, nearly lost it when a cheeky English reporter asked whether he rued not taking the England job in 2013. “This is a real football country, OK? (A real) women’s football country,” he said, his eyes flashing.
LeBron James to become free agent; will stay with Cleveland Cavaliers Jon Kr awcz ynski Associated Press
For the third time in six seasons, LeBron James is an unrestricted free agent. The difference this time is he has no plans to move again. The Cleveland star will not exercise a $21.6 million option on his contract for next season, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Sunday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because neither the Cavaliers nor James were publicly discussing the process. James’ decision has been widely expected for months. The approach allows him to sign a new maximum contract likely another two-year deal with a player option for 2017-18 -that will pay him more than he would have made under his previous contract. His max number for next
season, which is tied to how high the salary cap rises, is expected to be more than $22 million. The last time James became a free agent from Cleveland in 2010, he famously left his home state team to play
land’s 51-year championship drought. The Cavaliers have plenty of decisions to make and negotiations to conduct for free agents Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson and Iman Shumpert. But the
for the Miami Heat. James won two championships and played in four NBA Finals in his four years in Miami before making the celebrated decision to return home last summer. This time around, James plans to stay put while Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert and GM David Griffin set about improving the roster in hopes of surrounding James with the talent he will need to end Cleve-
process with James will be fairly straight forward. He’s made it clear through actions and words to Cavaliers management that he isn’t going anywhere. “We’ve heard from him every day pretty much relative to our roster,” Griffin said last week. “It’s been great. He’s been very much engaged with us on a lot of different levels, so it’s been positive.” James led the Cavs
back to the finals in June and put on a breath-taking performance to make the Golden State sweat it out for six games before Steph Curry and Co. captured the Warriors’ first title since 1975. With Love and Kyrie Irving out with injuries, James averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds, 8.8 assists and almost 46 minutes in the series. If James signs another two-year contract with a player option on the second year, it would allow him to reap the financial windfall expected when the NBA’s new television contract kicks in next summer and sends the salary cap sky-rocketing. Teams can start negotiating with players on July 1 and sign to contracts beginning July 8. James’ deal will likely be tabled while the Cavaliers address Thompson, Love and Shumpert, who is a restricted free agent.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Having a positive attitude often helps, and certainly you start the day with one. Nevertheless, you might experience some discomfort regarding your home and/or those you live with. Be instinctive with your decisions. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are likely to say exactly what you think. Others could be uncomfortable with this new bluntness, but it will help you let a key person know where you are coming from. Know that he or she might not be as agreeable as you would like. Tonight: Confusion surrounds a situation. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others come forward with suggestions. Honor a change between you and someone you care about. You could feel out of step with this person. Determine what will be necessary to get past an issue. Tonight: You will want to be footloose and fancy free, but a responsibility
calls. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are more irritable than you might realize; even if your words are not sharp, your tone or facial expressions will be. If you are not pleased with a situation, sit down and have a calm discussion. As a result, the problem could be worked out. Tonight: A must appearance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your playfulness and creativity reflect much more about you than you realize. How you handle a changeable matter could make or break a situation. Play it low-key and say little. Understand what is going on around you. Tonight: Get some extra downtime. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your creativity remains high because of pressure from a family member. You might want to find solutions. You could feel as if you cannot be stopped. Zero in on what you want. Listen to suggestions, but don’t feel as if you must follow them. Tonight: Head home early. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
Your words might not have the effect you thought they would. Perhaps you have made a miscalculation or someone has misunderstood the meaning of your thoughts. Stay in touch with your desires, and don’t give away too much. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to someone for his or her feedback. Financial matters seem to be at the base of the issue. You could be taken aback by someone’s anger. Listen to what is suggested, and don’t react to the tone of his or her voice. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be energized, but you will feel discomfort when dealing with a certain person on an individual level. You could sense some resistance. Today, you are likely to experience some confusion, whether it is with this person or someone else. Tonight: As you like it. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) How a partner or friend presents a situation could be a
lot different from how it is in reality. Understand what is happening with this person, but don’t hesitate to address your less-than-positive feelings. Open up to new information. Tonight: Early to bed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Friendship remains important to you. The challenge might be how to juggle friends with what you must do right now. Know that you can say “no.” You also don’t need to address an issue unrelated to your friends. Set stronger boundaries. Tonight: Where your friends are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might not realize how much you put someone on a pedestal and the influence this person has on your mood. Allow your useful and creative ideas to come out in order to help a loved one find a better solution; he or she will be very grateful. Tonight: Order in.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Not long ago, I discovered that my husband of 25 years was living a completely secret life. This life included pornography, voyeurism, physical affairs, emotional affairs and flirtations with hundreds of women he met through his sales job. Many of the women thought he was going to divorce me, even though he was manipulating them to get his fix. He is a sex addict. At that point, I simply stayed with him for the sake of our children. According to my husband, his addiction to pornography and masturbation started after he was abused as a child. He shared with me that he used lust, fantasy and sex to numb his pain and the belief that he was fundamentally flawed. As he is learning to deal with his old trauma, I have given my husband mountains of grace, though he raged and verbally attacked me. Lately, he’s doing significantly better and is regularly attending meetings of Sex Addicts Anonymous. My husband claims he has been in recovery for 18 months, but he has yet to disclose everything he did, and I have come across evidence that he is still looking at racy photos on his phone. (Voyeurism is also his thing, so he stares at women in public and then denies it.) I am out of patience. Anytime I start to build trust, I discover he is still lying. But it is hard to leave, because when the marriage is good, it is great. What should I do? -- Want My Husband to Stop Lusting After the World Dear Want: Recovery from any addiction takes time, and there are often relapses. But your husband may need to put a bit more effort into reassuring you that his progress is sincere and ongoing, and you are the only one who can determine whether you’ve had enough. He isn’t the only one who needs help. Please look into COSA (cosa-recovery.org), a support group for those whose lives have been affected by someone else’s compulsive sexual behavior. And do get tested for STDs. Dear Annie: I was furious after reading the letter from “Anonymous,” the successful professional who resented that her well-off mother never offered to reimburse her or pay her share of meals. I am 50 and was born to a family that didn’t have much. When I started making money, I used to love picking up the tab for my parents at restaurants, buying them new appliances, plane tickets for their trips and expensive gifts around the holidays. It never could make up for what my parents did for us growing up. My father died five years ago. In the past few years, my wife and I have had some setbacks and I no longer have the disposable income I had before. It kills me to cut back when it comes to gifts and dinners for my mom. Tell “Anonymous” to get over herself. She should thank God every day that she has the financial means to pick up a check and a parent to spend it on. -Tom Dear Tom: Every parent-child relationship is different, as are the financial circumstances. Thank you for taking a kind and compassionate view. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Mounties say charges pending in B.C. bus crash could take weeks C anadian Press
MERRITT, B.C. - Police say it could be weeks before charges are laid after a weekend collision involving a tour bus in British Columbia’s Central Interior sent more than three dozen people to hospitals across the region. A bus rammed into a tow truck and a car parked on the shoulder of the Coquihalla Highway, about 40 kilometres south of Merritt, B.C., shortly before 10 a.m. on Saturday. RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel said charges are expected following the crash, which snarled traffic on the busy highway for hours. “There are still lots of questions to be answered and investigation to be conducted,” said Newel on Sunday. The collision left 38
people injured, including two who were airlifted to hospital in serious condition. By Sunday morning nearly all of the 25 people taken to hospitals in Merritt, Kamloops and Kelowna had been released, said Darshan Lindsay, a spokeswoman for the Interior Health Authority. “We have two patients remaining in hospital in Kamloops and Kelowna,” said Lindsay. “The remainder were discharged throughout the day and into the evening and night yesterday.” The other thirteen people injured in the crash were taken to hospital in Hope, B.C. The Fraser Health Authority was unable to say how many remain in care. An employee at Universal Coach Lines in

VALCARTIER, Que. About 90 soldiers from 5 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group in Valcartier, Que., have deployed to Poland as part of a NATO response to Russian actions in central and eastern Europe. Over the next month, approximately 200 soldiers will take over Operation Reassurance duties from the 4th Canadian Division’s 2 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group based in Petawawa, Ont. Officials say the soldiers are to take part in a series of exercises over the next six months with NATO allies and security partners. Members of the Canadian Forces have been in central and eastern Europe since May 2014.

Richmond, B.C., confirmed that one of the company’s buses was involved in the collision but declined to give further information. A worker at Mario’s Towing said the crash involved a truck belonging to the Kelowna-based towing company but that the owners were unavailable for comment. Newel said the car’s driver had called for a tow truck after hitting a deer. The truck driver was outside talking to the occupants of the car when the bus struck, he said. Newel said the RCMP received reports that the tour guide was ejected from the bus and ended up in a creek below the highway. The guide and tow truck operator suffered serious injuries but are expected to recover, while the car’s driver and passenger were also injured, he said.
