A handgun seized Saturday in Kimberley was old but capable of firing
Police seize loaded gun from drunk man RCMP
Kimberley RCMP seized a loaded 38 calibre handgun on July 18. Shortly after midnight police received a report of an intoxicated man on Jim Ogilvie Way in Kimberley. Police attended and arrested the man drunk in public and lodged him in cells as he was unable to care for himself. While searching a back pack for ID and liquor police located the loaded handgun. The man from Cranbrook was released on a Promise to Appear for court in Sept and police are recommending a number of firearms charges. The gun is somewhat old, but police believe that its capable of firing. What the person’s intent or reason for having the firearm is not known.

Cranbrook Society expresses windrow, snow parking woes ARNE PETRYSHEN
The City of Cranbrook responded to a letter from Pioneer Lodge dealing with parking issues and snow removal concerns during the winter. The letter came from Mela-
nie Fiorentino, director of services at Cranbrook Society for Community Living, and was highlighted in CAO Wayne Staudt’s Administration Update. One issue Fiorentino men-
tioned in the letter was with Handicap parking. “We received Handicap parking designation on December 5, 2011 for 134r - 111h Avenue South,” Fiorentino wrote. “Our experience is that the
parking is being used by offices on 10th Avenue and 2nd Street.” At the July 13 meeting, Staudt said that is easily remedied.

Two young grizzlies are at large and living their lives in the Meadowbrook area near Kimberley. Sonja Seher, Kimberley/Cranbrook WildSafeBC Community Coordinator, says the two bears were observed last week in the area, and conservation officers, were in the process of trying to trap the two bears. “There’s been no sign, as of Friday, that the bears have been conditioned to human food sources,” Seher said. “But they are getting close to homes. WildSafe BC is warning people to secure bear attractants like garbage or livestock feed, and to keep an eye on pets and livestock. Be bear aware. Seher also advised recreators to be careful if they’re going for a walk or biking in the area. Conservation Officer Jared Connatty said if the bears are successfully trapped, they will be evaluated for health and any previous history with humans. He added it’s possible they may have already moved on to different territory, the way young bears do. If anyone sees the bears, or wants to report a wildlife incident, call 1-877-952-7277.

No major incidents at JulyFest CSCL voices snow, Police deal with impaired drivers, fights, drugs, and various levels of intoxication Tre vor Cr awley
While there was a heavy police presence in Kimberley this past weekend, there were no major incidents stemming from JulyFest celebrations, according to local RCMP. Despite the potential for volatile behaviour with crowds and alcohol, police were out and about maintaining a visible presence to mitigate any shenanigans. Over the course of the weekend, numerous road checks were conducted at various locations and police noted a large number of designated drivers, however, some violation tickets and warnings were also issued. Three impaired drivers were removed from the road and a number of drug seizures were made. Even though there were no major incidents, local RCMP were still busy. A fight broke out inside the bocce pits venue on Friday, but the situation was quickly brought under control by police and security, with no charges being considered. Three individuals each night were arrested for intoxication and held.
“We’re fairly liberal on that — if people want to take their friends home or their friends want to take care of them and take them home, we’re good with that,” said Cpl. Chris Newel, with Kimberley RCMP. “We prefer if their friends take them home, but sometimes they’re from out of town, sometimes they don’t even know where they’re staying. “You try to ask them questions and they don’t even know, they’re drunk and they don’t always know where they’re staying, so we hold them and often times we let them out after several hours after they’ve sobered up or if somebody wants to take care of them.” Although police kept an eye out for heavily intoxicated people, it was often other actions compounded with intoxication that led to their arrest, Newel added. The RCMP were also absent from the JulyFest parade as officers attended an early morning accident at White Swan Lake. Those involved were transported to a hospital in Invermere and police believe alcohol was a factor. There were a number of
noise complaints on Friday and Saturday, mostly received after the events wrapped up for the day.
“You try to ask them questions and they don’t even know; they’re drunk and they don’t always know where they’re staying. So we hold them, and often times we let them out after several hours — after they’ve sobered up or if somebody wants to take care of them.” Cpl. Chris Newel One house on Rotary Drive had a DJ playing music well into the early hours. Police warned the home owner a few times before the music was turned down and medical attention was required for an individual who ingested an unknown substance. Kimberley RCMP were
joined by fellow members from Cranbrook, Fernie and East Kootenay Traffic Services to ensure the events didn’t get out of hand so that everyone could have a safe and enjoyable time. From a historical standpoint, Newel said this year’s JulyFest seemed to be more tame than in years past based on his four years of experience at the Kimberley RCMP detatchment. “We had a little bit smaller numbers at the concert Saturday night, last year it was sold out, I believe there was well over 1,400 people—this year we had less,” Newel said. “…It’s just a matter of our guys keeping a good presence, speaking to the public, talking to everybody and making sure everybody’s safe.” Newel noted police received a large number of compliments and thanks for the job they did over the weekend as most people were very appreciative of their presence. “Police would like to thank all the participants for their support over the weekend,” he said.

“All she has to do it let bylaw (enforcement) know that there is inappropriate use of handicap parking and bylaw will deal with that,” Staudt said. Fiorentino wrote that the parking problem overlaps into a snow removal problem as well. “We also struggle with the snow removal/ wlnd rows — we get it all cleaned out and again the parking is used by offices on 10th Avenue and 2nd Street and/or the City plows fill it back in,” she wrote.

dence to clear their own area, this is very difficult to achieve given there are only two staff working during the day and one during the night,” she wrote. She said the staff’s number one responsibility is to provide care to the residents. “As a not for profit organization, our funding is very limited and makes it difficult to hire snow removal,” she wrote. Staudt replied to that as well. w “In the winter time when we’re plowing the streets, as you know as a result of plowing streets, there are windrows created in driveways and her request was that we come by and shovel out the windrows in the driveways,” CAO Wayne Staudt said. “We don’t do that for any citizens or any business, or any hospital, or anybody.” Staudt said the city doesn’t provide that service. “Other people have complained about windrows and my response to them is ‘if you can get your whole neighbourhood, your whole block , to agree they don’t want their street plowed, they won’t have a windrow anymore. But we don’t seem to ever get that response, so we do get the request to deal with the windrows.” Staudt said the windrows are an unfortunate issue we all have to deal with. “But it’s either street plowed or windrows,” he said. “Take your choice there.” The letter also talked about a request for a sidewalk in front of Creekside Apartments at 1500 1st Street South. “We don’t have any plans at this time to install a sidewalk in front of that building and until it comes up as a priority on our priority list according to our infrastructure capital plans we won’t be installing any sidewalk there,” Staudt said. He added that city staff would be sending the response if council sees no issues.

College of the Rockies hosts Bolivian partners F o r t h e To w n s m a n
College of the Rockies welcomed four guests from the Industrial Training Institute (Instituto de Aprendizaje Industrial) in Oruro, Bolivia from July 1 to 7. The Institute’s President and three technical trades instructors took part in professional development activities at the College during their stay. In addition to training workshops at the College, the visitors also participated in industry visits to the JH Hushcroft sawmill in Creston, Columbia Brewery’s state-of-the art bottling and canning facility in Creston, Canfor’s Elko sawmill and Teck’s Elkview coal mine in Sparwood. Through Colleges and Institutes Canada’s (CICan) Education for Employment Program, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, College of the Rockies has seen staff, faculty and a facilitator embark on three trips to Bolivia since September 2014. Through the terms of a three-year partnership agreement with the Industrial Training Institute, the
Lightning has become the enemy in the ongoing fire fighting effort in B.C. Provincial Fire Information Officer Kevin Skrepnek says in the last 24 hours, 60 fires have started across B.C. and almost all of those have been sparked by lightning. He says some of those storms did bring some rain, but others simply brought dry lightning.

Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water Have you noticed the latest degradation of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet. So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public. This petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those self-appointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations. The story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” That’s when something is false, but it “feels” true. “Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline. Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popular, Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water. It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on. “People keep saying there’s a deal with
Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agreements, like BC VIEWS oil or minerals. That would surrender provincial control, Tom and allow the U.S. to press for Fletcher equal access to Canadian water. “You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water. “That reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.” As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot.ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
which contradict so-called environmentalists.) King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.” Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source. Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

China: the Dead Cat Bounce?
A
few weeks ago, at the height of the panic in the Chinese stock markets, a sour joke was doing the rounds: “Last month, the dog was eating what I eat. Last week, I was eating what the dog eats. This week, I think I’ll eat the dog.” A lot of people have lost a lot of money. The Chinese governent is permanently terrified. It is terrified of climate change, of slowing economic growth, even of a fall in the stock market — of anything that might cause the population to turn decisively against it. When you are running a 66-year-old dictatorship, and your only remaining credibility in the public’s eyes is your ability to keep living standards rising, any kind of change is frightening. How terrified is it? Consider its reaction to the recent sharp fall in the two main Chinese stock markets. China has a capitalist economy, albeit a highly distorted one, and stock markets are a normal part of such economies. They go up, they go down, and normally governments do not intervene in the process. The Chinese stock markets have recently been on a roller-coaster ride. After treading water for years, prices exploded in June 2014. Over the next year, there was a 150 percent average rise in prices on the Shanghai Composite exchange, and almost 200 percent on the Shenzhen. Obviously this was not sustainable, especially since growth in the real economy has been falling for years. A “correction” was inevitable. It came with a bang, on 12 June of this year. Since then prices have fallen 30 percent on the Shanghai market, 40 percent on the Shenzhen. Around $4 trillion in paper values have been wiped out — but
Tuesday, JULY 21, 2015 Page 7
so what? Chinese stock prices are still far higher than they were a year ago. Indeed, at an average of 20 times earnings they are still overvalued by real-world standards. Why would any government intervene over this? Some investors will win, some will lose, and it will all work itself out. But the Chinese government intervened in a very big way. First it cut interest rates to the lowest level ever. When that didn’t stop the slide in prices, it banned large investors (holding more than 5 percent of a listed company’s shares) and all foreign inGwynne vestors from selling their shares for six months. Dyer It encouraged around 1,300 Chinese companies — half the stock market — to suspend trading in their stocks. It forbade any new listings (IPOs) on the markets. It even ordered a state-backed finance company to make new loans to people who want to make bigger bets on the stock market than they can afford. Anything and everything to stop the prices from falling, and lo! They did stop. Last week, prices even rose a bit. This may just be what traders call a “dead cat bounce” — if the price falls from high enough, there is bound to be a little bit of a bounce at the bottom — but that is mainly of interest to Chinese investors. The interesting question for the rest of us is: why did the Chinese Communist regime do all this? Because there are 90 million private investors in the Chinese stock markets. They tend to be older (two-thirds of them didn’t finish high school), they have been betting their savings on the market — and according to state media they have lost, on average, 420,000 yuan ($67,000) in the past six weeks.
That would be no problem if you were already in the market a year ago: you would still be well into the black. But a great many of the private investors piled in very late in the game — 12 million new accounts were opened as recently as last May — and they have already lost their shirts. They would have lost their skirts and trousers too if the government did not stop the collapse in prices. So the regime intervened. This may be because the Chinese Communist Party loves the citizens so much that it cannot bear to see them lose. It is more likely to be because it is frightened that those tens of millions of stock-market losers (who were officially encouraged to invest) will start protesting in the streets. Whether the Chinese regime’s power is secure or not, it certainly does not feel secure. This latest government action is part of a pattern that extends back to the global bank crisis of 2008, after which China was the only major country to avoid a recession. It did so by flooding the economy with cheap money. So few people lost their jobs, but the artificial investment boom created a bubble in the housing market that is now starting to deflate: millions of properties lie empty, and millions of mortgages are “under water”. Sooner or later, this game is going to run out of road. The risk is that China’s road ends where Japan’s thirty years of high-speed growth ended in the late 1980s, with a collapse to 2 percent growth or less and a quarter-century of economic stagnation. China is around the thirtyyear point now, and its regime is doing all the same things that the Japanese government did just before the collapse there.

Bandits come up short in title defense Bitterroot Red Sox shutout Bandits in Montana State ‘B’ finale to claim American Legion Baseball title
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Repeating a championship run is one of the toughest things to do in sport. Sunday afternoon in Hamilton, Mont., the Cranbrook Bandits came within one game of claiming a second consecutive American Legion State ‘B’ Baseball title, but the bats dried up as the host Bitterroot Red Sox cruised to a 7-0 victory in the championship finale. In 2014, the Bandits claimed the Montana State ‘B’ title with an 11-5 victory over Medicine Hat. “There’s no other kid in Cranbrook that’s played [for a state championship],” said Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek on Monday. “They should be pretty proud of themselves even though we lost. “We hit some balls hard and [the Red Sox defense] made some stellar plays. We didn’t get anything going our way. It was a tough game. “They did what we do to other teams and they did it more. They bunted like crazy.” The Bandits finished round-robin play with a
2-1 record and the second seed in their division. The Cranbook boys knocked off the Billings Boltz by a margin of 15-1 on July 16 and edged the Missoula Mavs by a 12-11 final score on July 17. Wedged in between the victories was a 4-3 loss to the Helena Independence in an evening affair on July 16.
Elimination play helped bring out the best in the Bandits, as they opened the playoffs with a 4-0 victory over the Gallitin Valley Posse before edging the Glacier ‘B’ Twins 8-7. In semifinal action, the Bandits offense showed up in full force to lead the team to a resounding 17-4 victory over the Medicine Hat Majestics. Yet again, the bats were alive early as the Bandits knocked in eight runs during the top of the first inning. Outfielder Jake Bromley provided the
biggest punch at the plate, bringing home four runs. Robert Nickell started the game on the bump, but gave up three earned runs in the bottom of the first inning before being replaced by Rylan D’Etcheverrey, who cleaned up and helped provide a shot at a second consecutive Montana State ‘B’ title. In the championship game, the Bandits offence ran dry, managing five hits and no runs as the Red Sox claimed the Montana State ‘B’ championship. “We rallied and we exploded [against Medicine Hat]. Everything went our way,” Mrazek said. “In the championship game, we had a few hits here and there, but we didn’t get a string of two, three, four hits together, which made it tough.” Despite falling short in the championship game, the Bandits put forth a more than respectable performance over the course of the weekend, going 5-2 and finishing second within the 12-team field. In the 15-1 victory over the Boltz, the Bandits got out front early, knocking in four runs

The Bitterroot Red Sox defeated the Bandits 7-0 to claim the state ‘B’ title. during the first inning of play before blasting home seven runs in the top of the fourth. Devon Marra fuelled the offense in the 15-1 win, bringing home four runs and scoring three of his own while going 3-for-4 at the plate. Daniel Mercandelli went the distance on the mound, striking out one
batter and walking three others. In the 4-3 loss to Helena, the Bandits trailed 4-1 heading into the top of the sixth inning, using one-run efforts in the sixth and seventh innings to pull within one, but that’s as close as they managed. Connor Armstrong took the loss on the
mound, going 5.1 innings while issuing five walks and giving up four earned runs. In Friday’s 12-11 victory over the Missoula Mavs, the Bandits overcame an 11-3 deficit to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The Bandits scored three runs in the bottom of the third, four in the
bottom of the fourth and two more in the bottom of the fifth inning to complete to the comeback. With the state tournament in the books, the Bandits finish the 2015 campaign with an overall record of 20-231. In 2014, the team registered a mark of 20-23.
Canada adds silver medal in rhythmic gymnastics at Pan Am Games CANADIAN PRESS
FIFA news conference delayed by British comedian ASSOCIATED PRESS
ZURICH - Sepp Blatter’s news conference at FIFA was disrupted and delayed Monday by a British comedian’s stunt. As Blatter took his seat, performer Simon Brodkin rose from a front-row seat to speak and shower the FIFA president with what ap-
peared to be fake money. “This is for North Korea 2026,” Brodkin said as he put the notes on the desk. “Thank you very much. As a North Korean football ambassador, I’m delighted that I’ve been able to seal the deal with FIFA and North Korea for the 2026 World Cup. It makes sense for everyone.”
Throwing money in the air as security led him away, Brodkin said: “Here we go Sepp. Thank you. Cheers Sepp. It’s all there, as discussed. Thank you. Good doing business.” The comedian also tried to disrupt a performance by Kanye West at the Glastonbury festival in Britain last month.
On Monday, he was ushered out of the auditorium at FIFA headquarters. “This has nothing to do with football,” said Blatter. At an earlier executive committee meeting, FIFA set a Feb. 26 election date to replace Blatter.
TORONTO - Canada won a silver and bronze medal in rhythmic gymnasts at the Pan Am Games on Monday to bring its overall medal total to 144. The Canadian Pan Am team had 54 gold medals, 49 silver and 41 bronze as of Monday afternoon. The United States leads the medal tally with 165, including 62 gold. Rhythmic gymnast Patricia Bezzoubenko of Thornhill, Ont., won her silver medal in the clubs competition, and Canada later added a bronze in the clubs/hoops
group competition. Bezzoubenko’s score of 15.933 was just behind American Laura Zeng, who led the eight-athlete field at the Toronto Coliseum with 16.167 points. American Jasmine Kerber took bronze with a score of 15.833. Bezzoubenko, who won five gold medals for Canada at last year’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, just missed the podium in the ribbon competition with a fourth-place finish. She won a bronze medal in the all-around competition on Saturday. “I hope I can learn from these competitions and go forward
and do my best,” Bezzoubenko said. The Canadian clubs/ hoop group took bronze in their event with 13.709 points. U.S. took gold (14.983) and Brazil won silver (14.692). Later Monday, the Canadian women’s basketball team took on the U.S. for gold. No Canadian basketball team - men’s or women’s - has never won a Pan Am tournament. The women’s best result was a silver in 1999 in Winnipeg. Canada was also competing for medals in taekwondo and men’s and women’s fencing later in the evening.

Christine Sinclair to share cover with Messi on ‘FIFA 16’ video game in Canada Neil Davidson Canadian Press
TORONTO - Canadian soccer captain Christine Sinclair is not just in the game, she’s on the cover. EA Sports announced Monday that the 32-yearold from Burnaby, B.C., will share the Canadian cover of “FIFA 16” with Barcelona star Lionel Messi. U.S. international striker Alex Morgan will be on the American cover with Messi. They join Australian Steph Catley, who will be showcased in Australia, as the first women to appear as the face of the hit video game franchise. “This year’s World Cup showcased the unbelievable talent and skill in women’s soccer,” Sinclair said in a statement. “I’m thrilled that EA Sports is celebrating
female athletes in ‘FIFA 16.’ To be featured in the game and to promote women’s soccer with Alex is really special and another exciting step for women in sports.” The video game developer announced in late May that the new version of the game would feature 12 women’s national teams for the first time in the 22year history of the franchise. Teams from Canada, Australia, Brazil, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, and the U.S. will be available to play in several game modes including Kick Off, an offline tournament, as well as online friendly matches. The women’s teams will “compete exclusively” against each other in the game, according to
EA Sports. “As soon as we knew women’s national teams were joining ‘FIFA 16,’ we immediately recognized that Christine and Alex would be the perfect cover athletes based on their accomplishments and what they represent for their respective countries and the sport of women’s soccer,” said David Pekush, senior manager of North America marketing for EA Sports. “They are exhilarating players and exude heart and courage on the pitch, and we are extremely proud to be working with them this year.” The Canadian women appear to have it over their male counterparts. While EA has yet to announce the men’s national teams in the new game, Canada
was not one of the 47 squads in “FIFA 15.” The Canadian women are ranked 11th in the world by FIFA, compared to No. 103 for the men. Messi has been a constant on the cover in recent years, with other athletes added for local editions of the game, which is developed in Burnaby, B.C. The video game developer says it captured the likeness, body movements and playing styles of star players like Canada’s Sinclair, America’s Morgan, and England’s Stephanie Houghton. Morgan and three other U.S. internationals - Sydney Leroux, Abby Wambach and Megan Rapinoe - took part in a motion capture session which the developer says helped to “build new locomotion for
women” in the game. “It is an incredible honour to be one of the first women featured on the cover of ‘EA Sports FIFA,”’ said Morgan. “I know people all over the world play this game and I’m really excited that ‘FIFA 16’ is putting such an important spotlight on women’s soccer. And now to share the cover with today’s greatest player is surreal.” Canadian players also visited the EA studio for 360-degree body scanning, used to develop player models. EA says its mobile headscanning unit travelled around the world to capture facial features, including hairstyles, to ensure players look as realistic as possible. “FIFA 16” will be available Sept. 22 PC, Xbox One and 360, and PlayStation 3 and 4.

Quebecor bidding to bring NHL team to Quebec C ANADIAN PRESS
Quebecor Inc. has officially entered the running for an NHL expansion team. The media company says on its Twitter account that it has submitted its “candidacy for the #NHL expansion process in order to bring the #Nordiques back to #Quebec City.” The NHL announced last month it was opening the formal expansion process.
Quebec City has not had an NHL team since the Nordiques left and became the Colorado Avalanche in 1995. Quebecor owns the new 18,259-capacity Videotron Arena in Quebec City. It’s among several groups that have expressed interest in an expansion franchise, along with Las Vegas, Seattle and others. The NHL has said the earliest any expansion would happen is the 2017-18 season.
There are 16 teams in the Eastern Conference and 14 in the West, which would seem to make Las Vegas and potentially Seattle or Portland, Ore., favourites for expansion. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has said geography is an issue, but not the determining factor. The NHL has a relationship with Quebecor through its French-language television-rights deal with the TVA television network.

Zach Johnson wins British Open, as Spieth’s bid for Grand Slam ends Doug Ferguson Associated Press
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland - Jordan Spieth amazing bid for a Grand Slam was stopped Monday by Zach Johnson, no longer just a normal guy from Iowa. Johnson captured his second major at the home of golf, winning the British Open in a playoff over Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman that capped off a wild five days at St. Andrews and a finish that won’t soon be forgotten. Most of that was because of Spieth, who came within inches of a shot at the third leg of
the Grand Slam. The Masters and U.S. Open champion rolled in a 50foot birdie putt on the 16th hole to tie for the lead with two holes to play. He missed an 8-foot putt on the tough 17th hole and took bogey, and his final bid to join the playoff was a long birdie attempt from the edge of the Valley of Sin. It turned left of the hole, ending the latest bid at the holy grail of golf - winning all four professional majors in the same year. “We gave it a great effort,” Spieth said.
Spieth hung around for the playoff, and walked out to the course to give Johnson a hug before the 39-year-old received the silver claret jug. Johnson rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation to close with a 6-under 66. Leishman badly missed his birdie putt that would have won it, while Oosthuizen hit a perfect wedge to 5 feet for birdie and a 69 to join the playoff. Johnson opened the four-hole playoff with two birdies. When he missed his 18-foot bird-
ie putt on the final hole at No. 18, Oosthuizen had a 12-foot birdie putt to force sudden death. It caught the left edge of the cup, and Johnson was in tears. He said when he won the 2007 Masters that he was just a normal guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Now he has two majors among his 12 PGA Tour victories. “I’m grateful. I’m humbled. I’m honoured,” Johnson said. “This is the birthplace of the game, and that jug means so much in sports. I felt great. I’m just in awe right now.”

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will understand what is happening if you step back and let others reveal their thoughts. You could be taken aback by a change of pace. Honor what is happening around you, and if you can’t go along with it, head in a new direction. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your creativity remains high. The issue seems to be applying your unique ability to what is happening right now. Lighten up about a situation, and know what lies ahead. Someone close to you seems detached and cold. Understand that this is just a phase. Tonight: Make it merry. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might feel as if you are finally justified in a choice you have made. Be careful here, as you could burn some bridges. Lighten up about a personal matter that is close to your heart, and watch as new possibilities appear. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to make a call first thing in the morning, especially if it is important. Your ability to move forward and come to terms with a personal matter could change. You know what you need to do. Handle a domestic issue before the day ends. Tonight: The party begins now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It would be smart to get over your fussiness quickly, as you will be dealing with a lot of people at once. It seems as if all you are seeing is what you want to see, and nothing more. Be careful, as it might be your distortions that upset the apple cart. Tonight: Hang out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might have a sense that a problem has gone too far. How you handle a personal matter could change this situation. Listen to your instincts, and you will land well. Your expenses might be out of whack, so try to use more self-discipline. Tonight: The world is your oyster. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
Your energy soars. What could possibly stop you at this point? You seem to be much more together right now, and you’ll make a strong impression no matter what you do. If you have an important situation pending, push it forward. Tonight: Don’t stop now. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Say little, and concentrate on a project or your work. The less involved you are, the more successful the outcome will be. You also might need some personal time to rethink a decision or maybe just snooze. Don’t allow anyone to slow you down. Tonight: Take a walk. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Open up a discussion in the most positive way possible. Loosen up; a friendship could play a significant role in what happens. Remain sure of yourself, and don’t lessen the importance of your needs. Don’t back down on a matter that’s important to you. Tonight: Find your friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel pressured by someone in a position of au-
thority. You know your limits, but does this person recognize them? You could feel burdened by a set of commitments and responsibilities. Let others know that you have had enough. Tonight: In the limelight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a way about you that implies that you can handle anything. Your plate is full, but you’ll have an opportunity to take a short trip or switch gears. You are full of energy and open to possibilities. As a result, doors will open. Tonight: Know what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be in the mood for a close encounter. You would like to see life from a more logical point of view. A discussion with a key person in your life will help you bottom-line what is happening. Understanding will evolve as a result. Tonight: Have a one-on-one chat.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: When is it OK for a child not to want to be touched by anyone, including his parents? My 10-year-old grandson doesn’t want to hug anyone, nor does he like people putting their hands on his back, shoulder or head. Should this just be accepted? Should we use behavior modification so he will let us be affectionate, or are we just supposed to respect his wishes on this? If I put my arm on his shoulder, he will move away. If my wife pats him on the arm, he flinches. When he tells his parents that he doesn’t like being touched, they either laugh or get angry. What do you say? -- Miffed Dear Miffed: Please do not try to force a child to be physically affectionate if he does not wish to be touched. There could be many reasons for this. Is this a recent development? Has the child been touched inappropriately by anyone? Is the child autistic? Is his skin sensitive and the touching too painful or irritating? And some children that age become extremely embarrassed by any public displays of affection, especially from family members. The parents should neither laugh nor get angry. They should speak to the child’s pediatrician and ask for guidance. There could be a serious reason (earlier molestation) or something as simple as needing to be tolerant and respectful of this stage of his development. As we hope you will be. Dear Annie: A friend is getting married soon and the invitation states that it is going to be a potluck reception. I have never heard of such a thing for a wedding. Is this new? I have always believed that the bride and groom should have the wedding they can afford and not ask the guests to bring food to the reception. Also, I found out that she is having the bridesmaids help set up and clean after. I understand the bride and groom don’t have a lot of money, but come on! She also had put a lot of pricey items on her bridal registry and when I spoke to her later, she told me she was upset that she only received half the stuff she wanted and they were mostly the lessexpensive items. What is your take on all this? Should someone say something to her about her being so cheap? She already knows that most of her family doesn’t like the man she is marrying. -- Friend’s Wedding Dear Friend: In some cultures and areas of the country, potluck weddings are perfectly fine. In those places, the entire community comes together to prepare the wedding celebration. It isn’t a demand on an invitation. It is simply how things are done. Unfortunately, this doesn’t sound like the case with your friend. Some folks won’t mind the request and will be happy to show off their cooking skills. And we are certain that some guests will prepare and bring a lovely dish and consider it their wedding gift. Your obligation is simply to respond “yes” or “no” to the invitation.” Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

McCain says Trump should apologize to ‘those who served’ Julie Pace Associated Press
WASHINGTON Sen. John McCain said Monday Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump doesn’t need to apologize to him for remarks about his long captivity in Vietnam, but should tell veterans and their families that he’s sorry. Trump, meanwhile, levelled new criticism against the Arizona Republican and 2008 GOP presidential nominee, saying McCain had made America “less safe” through his votes in Congress. The continuing rhetoric came as Trump’s fellow Republican presidential hopefuls criticized his remarks last week, in which the flamboyant businessman dismissed McCain’s reputation as a war hero because he was captured in Vietnam and “I like people who weren’t captured.” “When Mr. Trump says he prefers to be with people who are not captured, the great honour of my life was to be in the company of heroes,” McCain said Monday on MCNBC’s “Morning Joe.” But the occasionally fiery McCain had a calm demeanour, saying simply: “I am not a hero.” At another point in his interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” he said, “I’m in the (political) arena,” suggesting he’s fair game for criticism as a U.S. senator. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said McCain had handled the matter just right. “He’s right when he says that our veterans are the ones who are entitled to an apology,” Earnest said. “I agree with what Senator McCain had to say.” Earnest noted that even in the midst of the 2008 campaign, Obama had expressed his “admiration and deep respect” for McCain’s military service. And while the two still have their political differences, “those debates have not reduced his appreciation for Senator McCain’s remarkable service to his country.” In an opinion piece published Monday in USA Today, Trump said McCain had abandoned the nation’s veterans and made America less secure through his votes

for President (Barack) Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty,” Trump wrote. “He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s.” In a contentious interview on the NBC’s “Today” Show Monday, Trump took issue with the media’s reporting on his comments about McCain’s war record, made at a conservative
in Congress. The real estate executive also lashed out at fellow GOP presidential aspirants who have criticized his remarks, calling them “failed politicians.” Trump said he did not need “to be lectured by any of them.” “The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrong-headed foreign adventures, covered up
forum in Iowa. He insisted in a telephone interview with anchor Matt Lauer that he had said “four times” that he respected those captured in war. In his appearance, McCain said he believed it was “totally inappropriate for Mr. Trump to say he doesn’t like to be with people who are captured.” “I think the point here is that there are so many men and women who served and sacrificed - and happened to be held prisoner - and to denigrate in any way that service, I think, is offensive to veterans.” “The best thing to do is put it behind us and move forward,” McCain said Trump has refused to apologize for disparaging comments he made about McCain’s military service. He’s also sought to use the furor over his remarks to remind supporters, especially those frustrated with Washington, that he’s not a typical politician. “You know the Republican Party - of course I was one of their darlings when I was a contributor,” Trump said in an interview with The
Associated Press. “I went from a darling to somebody that they’re not happy with because I’m not a politician.” His rivals spent much of the weekend condemning his comments and suggesting he was unfit to serve as commander-in-chief. “It’s not just absurd,” said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. “It’s offensive. It’s ridiculous. And I do think it is a disqualifier
as commander-in-chief.” Numerous other GOP candidates, including Jeb Bush, Rick Perry and Scott Walker, were similarly critical of Trump. The Republican National Committee also put its thumb on the scale, issuing a statement saying “there is no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honourably.”
Until now, Republicans have been largely cautious in their handling of Trump and his provocations. While officials privately fretted about the damage he could do to the party, they are also worried about alienating voters drawn to his celebrity, brashness and willingness to take on establishment Republicans.
NDP candidate in Trudeau riding quits amid sovereignty hullabaloo C anadian Press
MONTREAL - A federal NDP candidate is stepping down after it came to light she used to be a member of a pro-sovereignty party in Quebec. Beatrice Zako says some of the comments she made while a member of Option nationale are not compatible with the vision of the NDP. She also says her remarks from two years ago were not relayed to the federal party. Zako spent three months in Op-
tion nationale and last week likened the stint to a brief love affair. In a document submitted to the party’s 2013 convention, Zako wrote that it was time to choose a political path and she had opted for Quebec independence. She was also quoted as saying she was looking forward to replacing her Canadian passport with a Quebec one. Zako was running in the Montreal riding of Papineau, which Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has held since 2008.

Teams take to the Thames to count her majesty’s swans
ASSOCIATED PRESS
STAINES, England Teams of census-takers took to the River Thames on Monday for the colorful annual count of
Queen Elizabeth II’s swans - a blend of science and ceremony that dates to the 12th century. By tradition, the
monarch owns all the swans found in Britain’s open waters, and the event assesses their overall well-being. The queen, who
counts Seigneur of the Swans among her many titles, only exercises her ownership rights on certain stretches of the Thames.
When a brood of young swans is spotted, a boatman cries “all up” and others round up the family of birds and take them out of the muddy
river. Wardens, zoologists and boatmen then count, measure, weigh and ring the swans in order to safeguard the

population and determine its health. The queen deploys her envoys down the river for five days to see how her swans have fared from potential threats like minks, fish hooks and hooligans using air guns. So far, things aren’t looking good. The Queen’s Swan Marker, David Barber says the six broods they found Monday morning were “thin on the ground.” Barber, who has led the swan upping expedition for 22 years, said the increase of vandalism is to blame. “This last year we had more shootings than we ever had in the Windsor area, which is very disastrous for us,” he said. “These senseless shootings cause horrific injuries and often death, with the injured swans and cygnets sometimes taking days or even weeks to die if they are not discovered soon after being shot.” The queen’s team, in red, is accompanied by two other uniformed groups: the Worshipful Company of Vintners in white and the Worshipful Company of Dyers in blue.

BOSTON - A Boston bus driver made a new group of friends by surprising passengers with a treat to help brave the sweltering heat: He made a stop at a child’s lemonade stand. Boston.com reports 49-year-old John Lohan first asked riders if they would mind. With no one in a hurry, the passengers agreed and Lohan treated each to one 50-cent cup of lemonade from the West Roxbury stand on Thursday. The Jamaica Plain resident says he noticed the lemonade stand a little over an hour before and decided he would ask passengers about stopping on his next trip. Lohan says the timing was right, because there were only a half-dozen passengers and he was near the end of his route.
