Nelson issuing voter challenge to Kootenays Kootenay Community Voter Challenge will see which municipality can up percentage of voter turnout compared to 2011 election ARNE PETRYSHEN
The City of Nelson is putting forward a friendly challenge to other municipalities in hopes of seeing increased voter turnout in the upcoming federal election. The Kootenay Community Voter Challenge will see which munici-
pality can increase the percentage of their voter turnout compared to the last election in 2011. Nelson joins Cranbrook and Kimberley in the Kootenay-Columbia riding in this upcoming election. While the City of Nelson hasn’t endorsed the challenge formally,
Mayor Deb Kozak said the momentum of council was enthusiastically behind the initiative. “There was great support at the Committee of the Whole meeting and we’ll be endorsing it formally at our next business meeting,” Kozak said. “The indication from council was
very, very positive and strong.” Nelson city council next meets on August 10. “When staff come back with the recommendation, the way it was presented, the challenge could happen in a variety of ways. It certainly opened up a dis-
cussion. People said well, should it just be municipalities, or should we look to area regional directors? Maybe regional districts want to have their own challenge as well. At this point we were thinking that municipalities would be the way to go. We’ll issue that chal-
lenge regionally, I think it will be regional, and we’ll see what happens.” The initiative was brought forward by a non-partisan group.
Kozak said it is not about one party or one point of view, but rather inclusion and the democratic process.

Locally, ANKORS wants to make people aware that Hepatitis is an issue in the East Kootenay. “The numbers indicate that worldwide, 400 million people are living with Hepatitis B or C,” said ANKORS’s Michelle Shewell. “It’s a much bigger issue than perhaps people are aware of.” Shewell said that there are an estimated 332,000 Canadians with the blood-borne disease, and some 80,000 British Columbians.

Angels in downtown Cranbrook. A film will be shown called “Deal With It,” which focusses on Hepatitis C in Canada. Popcorn and drinks are available. The event then moves down to Rotary Park from 2 p.m. To 5 p.m. ANKORS will have a booth on site and free on-site testing will be available to the public. Liver disease, liver cancer, and deaths from Hepatitis C are on the rise. Hepatitis C, the most common strain of the illness in Canada, is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus. Some people are able to clear the virus from their body early on in infection; however, in about three-quarters of people, the infection becomes chronic. Chronic infection can lead to severe liver damage (cirrhosis), liver cancer and liver failure (which requires a liver transplant). There are treatments for hepatitis C, but no vaccine exists to prevent infection. At the end of 2011, an estimated one out of
every 100 Canadians were antibody positive for hepatitis C, indicating either a current or past infection.1 In one study, seventy per cent of the about 138,600 Canadians infected with hepatitis C based on blood tests did not know they had the virus, Statistics Canada says. Hepatitis C is transmitted when the blood of someone carrying the virus gets into the bloodstream of an uninfected person. This can happen through unsafe medical practices, unsafe sex or unsafe drug use. For many people, treatments are available that can cure Hepatitis C and prevent liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. The importance of getting tested is one of the key points World Hepatitis Day is trying to make.

LOCAL NEWS Nelson issues voter turn-out challenge to Kootenay towns CONTINUED from page 1
Hopefully Cranbrook and Kimberley can get behind the initiative, as Kozak stated the goal is to increase voter turnout. “And especially to inspire sectors of the population that don’t necessarily come out to vote. We’re going to be targeting, especially, young people I think — get them inspired to be part of the democratic process,” She said. “We need that, we need young people. And we need people to feel inspired and feel that they have a voice in our democratic process.” Kimberley Mayor Don McCormick said anything that gets more people out to vote is a good thing. “In every election there are a number of people — a fairly large number of people — who intend to vote, but at the last minute don’t bother going, because they think they are aware of what the outcome is going to be,” McCormick said. “Quite often, elections are very close and the fact is if they’d gone and voted they could have had an effect on the outcome.” When asked if he thinks the challenge will soon come up in Kimberley city council, McCormick said he ill be waiting for the official word to come from the City of Nelson. “It’s a challenge from Nelson,” he said. “So we’ll wait for the challenge.” Kozak said she is looking forward

Kiara Lynch of explains the voter challenge to Nelson Mayor Deb Kozak and Councillor Bob Adams. Lynch is part of a non-partisan group that will run the challenge (Nelson Star). to the opportunity for people to discuss issues in the upcoming federal election such as: “What’s most important to you about our country? What are the things that you want to see the government move forward with at the federal level?” Kozak said she was also impressed by a comment at the end of the meeting: when you go out to vote, take the hand of somebody else and lead them to vote as well. She added that Nelson will give Cranbrook, Kimberley and other municipalities a run for their money. “I’m going to say that we’re going to win,” she laughed. “That should lay the gauntlet down, shouldn’t it?” Mayor Lee Pratt was not available for comment as of press time.
We are excited to have them aboard, and welcome them to our diverse and growing team at our Cranbrook office. Come say hi to Brad, Ian, and the rest of the McElhanney team and discuss your next project with us at #42 – 8th Avenue South.

Kimberley RCMP is following up on three incidents which took place over the last two days. Mischief On Tuesday (July 21) police received a report mischief to several vehicles parked a repair shop on Knighton Road in Kimberley. Sometime overnight suspect(s) smashed the windshields of six vehicles. The Identification Unit attended and did obtain some evidence which may assist investigators but are also asking the public if they
have any information. Two arrested Two young males were arrested shortly after midnight on July 22 after they were caught going through a vehicle in Marysville. The vehicle owner was alerted by his dogs and when he went to investigate found a male by his truck. A second male was nearby. Both were arrested, held in custody until released to their parents. They will be attending court in September. Break and Enter Shortly after 2 am on July 22 there was a break
in at a business on Warren Avenue. Two suspects (male and female) were seen running from the business after the alarm went off. The subjects had damaged the rear fence to gain access to the outside sales area. One door was damaged to gain entry to the building, but nothing appears to have been taken. A good description was obtained of the suspects and police are following up. If anyone has information about any of these incidents please contact Crimestoppers or Kimberley RCMP.

When I am the one who has arranged an appointment and it is taking place on my turf, I have little patience for those who aren’t on time. My general rule of thumb is 10 minutes, which generally allows for sufficient flexibility for people who have been legitimately delayed. But if I know the person is a chronic latecomer, I might pare that time down to 5 minutes, at which point I will leave the room and perhaps even the building. Point made, even if the other person thinks I have been a jerk about this particular foible. Like many social issues, the late versus early debate produces a great chasm between the sides and neither seems to be particularly open to the others’ point of view. Personally, I am always willing to listen. Just make sure you are on time if you want to tell me why it’s OK to be late. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Order, cleanliness
Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I come from Austria to visit my aunt in Cranbrook! It has pleasantly surprised me that the landscape has improved over the last six years, since my last visit. In the shops and houses there is order and cleanliness, the newly planted trees, shrubs and especially the flowers create a beautiful landscape! All the more it surprised me that just behind the Joseph Creek Village, with its very well-kept and beautiful park, a wilderness can be seen! The little stream is wild and the lawn not mowed. Order and cleanliness cannot be seen! The fact that residents in the Joseph Creek Village have to experience the sight constantly surprises me. Can you not talk to the owner? Or plant trees? Or take other action? I think, especially the older people in our society have a right to orderly conditions! Maybe I can enjoy on my next visit to Cranbrook an improvement of the situation! Klaus Seyr Laakirchen, Austria

Japan: The Gutting of Article 9 Gwynne Dyer
F
ifty-five years ago Nobosuke Kishi, Japan’s prime minister, resigned just after winning the battle to push the treaty revising the country’s military alliance with the United States through parliament. The demonstrations against it were so massive and violent that his political capital was exhausted. Today his grandson, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, is waging a quite similar battle, but he will probably get away with it. More’s the pity. Abe, like his grandfather, is on the right of Japanese politics, and his target this time is Article 9 of Japan’s postwar “Peace Constitution”. That clause undermines his vision of Japan as a “normal country” (like the United States, Britain or France) that sends its troops overseas to fight wars. The language of Article 9 is clear. It says that “the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as means of settling international disputes … Land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained.” It would take a pretty sharp lawyer to get around that. Moreover, it’s very hard to change the Japanese constitution. It would take a two-thirds majority in each house
Thursday, JULY 23, 2015 Page A7
of parliament, plus a national referendum, to change or drop Article 9. Abe would certainly lose that referendum: 80 percent of Japanese like Article 9 just the way it is. This is deeply ironic, since it was written into the post-war Japanese constitution in 1946 by the American occupation authorities, who feared that otherwise Japan might re-militarize and become an international threat again. By the mid-1950s, however, the United States was locked into the Cold War confrontation with Communist China and the Soviet Union, and it badly wanted Japanese military support in Asia. But by then the Japanese population had fallen in love with Article 9. After three million war dead, followed by the atomic bombings at Hiroshima amd Nagasaki, they wanted nothing more to do with militarized great-power politics. Article 9 became their foolproof excuse for staying out of the whole stupid, bloody game. Those are the opinions of ordinary Japanese, however. They are not so widely held among the elite — and Japan has an elite like few other countries. A Japanese historian once told me in confidence that he reckoned around four hundred people — politicians, industrialists and senior
GRANDFATHER/GRANDSON: Nobosuke Kishi (left) and Shinzo Abe. bureaucrats — make almost all the decisions in Japan. Moreover, they have been inter-marrying for generations, and are almost all distantly related to one another. Which explains, perhaps, why the grandson of a “Class A” war criminal is now the prime minister of Japan. There’s an interesting contrast between Nobosuke Kishi, who became Minister of Munitions in the Imperial Japanese government in 1941, and Albert Speer, whom Hitler appointed as Minister of Armaments and War Production in early 1942. Both men were arrested at war’s end, and Speer was sentenced to 20 years in prison. But Kishi was never charged, and while Speer languished in Spandau prison Kishi was freed, helped to found the Liberal Democratic Party that has dominated Japanese politics ever since, and was elected prime minister in 1957. In fact, the
great majority of the “400” of that era were back in business by the mid-1950s: the United States needed to get Japan back on its feet in a hurry, and it had nowhere else to turn. So here we are, half a century later, and their descendants are still in charge. Japan is a democracy, but the voters mainly get to choose between members of the “400”. Kishi’s brother, Eisaku Sato, was prime minister for eight years in the 1960s and early 1970s, and his grandson Shinzo Abe became prime minister for the first time in 2006. It’s safe to say that most members of the elite have always wanted Japan to become a “normal country” that is free to fight wars again. They aren’t thinking about aggressive wars, of course; only “just” wars, probably alongside their American allies. The big stumbling block has always been popular opinion — but Shinzo
Abe has found a way around that. If you can’t win a referendum on constitutional change, then don’t hold one. Just “reinterpret” Article 9 so it means the opposite of what it seems to say. Shinzo Abe’s cabinet did that last year, declaring that Article 9 really allows the military to go into battle overseas to protect allies — socalled “collective defence” — even if there is no direct threat to Japan or its people. That covers just about every contingency you can imagine. Last week Abe pushed two bills through parliament that reshape military policy and structures in accord with that “reinterpretation”. The opposition parties walked out and thousands demonstrated outside the parliament building, but the deed is done, and there won’t be any referendum about it. Unless some mass movement arises to protest against this cynical manipulation of the law, Abe will get away with it. The “Peace Constitution” will need a new name, and the United States will finally have a Japan willing to fight by its side. No doubt that will make the world a safer place.

Dueck to be inducted into Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame
Kimberley-born sit skier will enter shrine on Oct. 17 in Vernon Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
When Josh Dueck suffered a spinal cord injury in March 2004, his life completely changed. Since then, he’s conquered every challenge he’s faced. The 34-year-old Kimberley native claimed a silver medal in slalom sit-skiing at the 2010 Vancouver Paralympic Winter Games. In 2014 at the Sochi Paralympic Winter Games, he did one better, winning a gold medal in combined sit-skiing and adding a silver medal in downhill sit-skiing. Having since retired from competition, Dueck will be honoured for his many accomplishments when he is inducted into the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame & Museum on Oct. 17 in Vernon. In addition to honouring Dueck, the
Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame & Museum will enshrine snowboard cross star Drew Neilson and volunteer John Topping. “We are honoured to choose these three highly worthy people for induction this fall,” said Roger Knox, director of the Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame & Museum, in a press release. “It was an easy unanimous decision. We hope the public will lend their support and help us celebrate the enormous contributions to sport by Drew, Josh and John.” Dueck was born and raised in Kimberley and now lives in Vernon. He learned to ski at the age of 13 and eventually focused his energies on coaching. He was paralyzed from the waist down after overshooting a demonstration jump and breaking his back at Silver Star Mountain Resort near Vernon in
March 2004. After his success at the 2010 Winter Paralympic Games, Dueck added to his resume by winning gold in mono skier-x at the 2011 Winter X Games in Aspen, Col. In 2012, Dueck furthered his Winter X Games reputation by earning bronze in mono skier-x. Dueck is also known for becoming the first person to perform a backflip on snow in a sit ski, which he achieved on Feb. 3, 2012. The Kimberley native was also Canada’s flag bearer at the 2014 Winter Paralympic Games in Sochi. Neilson, 41, is a native of Vernon and won the 2007 Crystal Globe as the overall snowboard cross World Cup Champion. He made appearances at two Winter Olympic Games, finishing 17th at the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy. On home
snow, Neilson finished 11th at the 2010 Games in Vancouver. Neilson also won gold medals at the 2000 Winter X Games and Gravity Games. Topping, 73, was born in Vancouver before moving to Vernon in 1976. He is best known for founding the Funtastic Slo-Pitch Tournament, which raised hundred of thousands of dollars for sporting facilities in the North Okanagan. Topping was also the fundraising director for the Coldstream Boy Scouts and currently serves as the fundraising director for Venture Training. He has also previously spent time as the chairman for the Cancer -- Walk for the Cure event and as director of Vernon Special Olympics. The Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1982 by Vernon’s Nick Alexis.
Canada wins gold in cycling & water skiing at Pan Am Games CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - Canada won two more gold medals in Wednesday’s early competition at the Pan American Games, with star sprinter Andre De Grasse hoping to add another in the evening’s marquee men’s 100-metre race. Whitney McClintock won the women’s water-skiing competition while Hugo Houle finished first in the men’s road cycling individual time trial to give the host nation 61 gold medals heading into evening competition on Day 12. The United States led with 70 gold medals. Canada was well ahead of third-place Brazil, which had 32 gold. McClintock finished ahead of American Regina Jaquess and Mexico’s Carolina Chapoy in
the women’s water ski. The native of Cambridge, Ont., took the lead after earning 8,370 points in the tricks event following a disappointing slalom run. “It’s a complete shocker to me, actually,” McClintock said. “Today is not the way I planned it to go. Not even a little bit. It seems like on any other given day that would have not won you a gold medal. “It’s one of those hard things to celebrate, but a gold medal is a gold medal.” Jarret Llewellyn of Innisfail, Alta., added a silver in the men’s overall. Houle, of Ste-Perpetue, Que., finished the 37-kilometre time trial in 45 minutes, 13.4 sec-
onds. “You never know until you start how you’re going to feel but today on the first lap, I had to control myself to not go too hard because my body wanted to go,” said Houle, who recently participated in the prestigious Giro d’Italia. “Today I had the best ride of my life for sure.” Mexico’s Ignatio Prada was second, 1:17.87 back of Houle, while Sean MacKinnon of Hamilton, Ont., took bronze. Vancouver’s Jasmin Glaesser won silver in the 19.5-kilometre women’s individual time trial in 27:01.31. De Grasse was set to compete in the men’s
100 metres later Wednesday. The 20-year-old from Markham, Ont., finished his heat Tuesday in 10.06 seconds to cruise to qualify for the semifinals. De Grasse is one of Canada’s best medal hopes at these Games after his performance at last month’s NCAA championships. The junior at University of Southern California won the 100 in 9.75, then followed it up less than 45 minutes later with a win in the 200, in 19.58. In other action Wednesday, the women’s soccer team faced Colombia in a semifinal match, the women’s field hockey team had a semifinal date with the United States, and the men’s basketball team took on Argentina in preliminary round play.

PGA player faces mandatory military service in South Korea ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKVILLE, Ont. Bae Sang-Moon said Wednesday he plans to play the rest of the PGA Tour season before submitting to his mandatory military service in South Korea. Bae was denied extension of his visa at the start of the year and challenged it in court. Yonhap news service said Bae lost his legal battle to have mandatory service deferred. The debate was whether Bae spent enough time out of South Korea last year. “I completely respect the court’s decision, and I humbly accept the judgment by the law,” he told Yonhap. “I am sorry to those who have supported me, including all my fans and South Koreans, for causing anxiety.” The 29-year-old Bae
is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, including the season-opening Frys.com Open last October. He was hopeful that victory would help him make the Presidents Cup team because the matches will be played this year for the first time in South Korea. Bae is No. 23 in the standings, and only the top 10 qualify. “My plan is to play as much as I can the rest of this season the PGA Tour
and into the FedEx Cup playoffs before reporting for my military duty in South Korea,” Bae said. Bae is No. 29 in the FedEx Cup and already has earned just over $2 million this season. By winning the Frys. com Open, Bae is exempt on the PGA Tour through the 2016-17 season, though he will be in the military for most of it. Earlier this year, the PGA Tour board approved an amendment to regulations so ”mandatary obligation” is considered with its provision on major medical issues and a family crisis. The board is scheduled to ratify the amendment next week. That would give Commissioner Tim Finchem discretion to extend Bae’s eligibility on the PGA Tour.

JulyFest Soccer brings skill and entertainment to Kimberley Tre vor Cr awley Daily Townsman
After two days and 136 games, the annual JulyFest Soccer Tournament wrapped up on Sunday evening this past weekend. Over 64 teams in men’s, women’s and masters categories hit eight fields in Marysville and Kimberley in one of Western Canada’s largest soccer tournaments. In the men’s competitive division, the Missoula Athletics won the final in penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie at the end of regulation with the Montana Rapids. The Athletics overcame a two-goal deficit and scored in the final minute of the game to even it up and force the dot shots. The Athletics even included a few masters players from Cranbrook and Kimberley, who volunteered themselves onto the team to help cope with injuries.

The JulyFest Soccer Tournament brought more than 64 men’s and women’s teams to Kimberley for two days of high-paced, soccer action. The Athletics took the title from the Cranbrook Unicorns, who were the tournament champions last year, but were unable to make it to the finals this year. Tournament organizer Simon Davidson
said the men’s competitive division was wide open and that there were many skilled teams that played each other in tight, entertaining matches. In the women’s competitive division, the
Montana Rapids dominated the competition and won the final 5-2 over the Cochrane Rangers. While there were many good teams in the women’s division, Davidson noted that the Rapids were clearly one

eventual tournament champions in the semis as well. On the ladies side, a Kimberley women’s team lost 3-1 to a team from Calgary in the Recreation finals. Davidson would like
to thank the School Board and the City of Kimberley for their help in securing and preparing the soccer fields. He also would like to acknowledge and thank sponsors who supported the event.
Whitecaps FC Academy wraps successful set of summer camps Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Whitecaps FC Kootenays Academy hosted soccer camps at Moir Centennial Park in Cranbrook from July 14 to 16 with fantastic results. According to Brett Adams, Kootenays Academy Centre head coach, registration in the annual camp was up from 67 players in 2014 to 100 players in 2015. “[That] shows you how much we are growing in the area,” Adams
wrote via email. “The level of play has soared in the last 12 months.” The camp featured opportunities for players aged eight to 18, with a focus on creativity, technique and style of play. Sam Heap, Kootenays Academy assistant coach, led the camps. “Sam Heap has done a fantastic job to help prepare these players to play the ‘Whitecaps Way,’” Adams wrote. In addition to the summer camps, the
Whitecaps FC Kootenays East Prospects Academy runs fall and winter sessions from September through January, with additional sessions into early March. According to Adams, the weekly prospect program has 90 players registered in it. The Whitecaps FC Kootenays East Academy also partners with the Kootenay East Youth Soccer Association (KEYSA) to provide local coaching development.

A pair of Cranbrook wakeboarders put in another medal-winning performance this past weekend. Dagen Duczek, 8, and Ryder Duczek, 10, competed at the Water Ski and Wakeboard Alberta (WSWA) Tour event at Jackfish Lake
near Edmonton, which featured more than 40 riders competing in wakeboarding and water-skiing events. Ryder led the medal charge in the U-14 division (also known as grom), claiming a second-place finish. Dagen earned a bronze medal after finishing third. The WSWA event was
held in conjunction with the Jackfish Lake Community Association Jackfish Days Festival, which also featured a beach volleyball tournament and cardboard boat race. The Duczek brothers, along with cousin Madison Reynolds, also fielded an entry in the cardboard boat race, powering their way to a
second-place finish out of a 13-team field. The Duczek brothers are sponsored by Just Liquid Sports, Hyperlite, and Boston Pizza Cranbrook/Golden. Next up, they travel to Chestermere (approximately 25 kilometres east of Calgary) for the fourth stop on the WSWA Wake Tour.
TORONTO - Rusty Malinoski has won gold for Canada in men’s wakeboarding at the Pan American Games. He finished ahead of American Daniel Powers and Venezuela’s Juan Mendez. The native of Humboldt, Sask., was a favourite to win the wakeboarding competition and did not disappoint. Malinoski was clearly relaxed on the water,
pumping his fist and egging on the crowd to cheer louder in his final pass. He finished with a score of 89.11. Earlier, Whitney McClintock of Cambridge, Ont., won gold in the women’s water skiing event.
TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays claimed infielder/outfielder Ty Kelly off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. The 27-year-old will report to the Jays’ triple-A affiliate in Buffalo. He has a career .381 on-base percentage over seven seasons, recording 85 walks in 2014 and a career-high 102 in 2013, and owns a .276 average with a .759 onbase plus slugging percentage in 782 career minor league games.

Tennis star Bouchard hopeful she can turn season around Gregory Strong Canadian Press
TORONTO - Eugenie Bouchard was all smiles on the Toronto waterfront Wednesday, taking part in a clinic with young kids, hamming it up with fellow Canadian tennis star Milos Raonic, and engaging with fans and spectators alike. There were no signs that her unexpected season-long slump has got her down. Bouchard was the talk of the tennis world in 2014 after reaching the semifinals at the first three Grand Slam events, including a trip to the Wimbledon final. She won her first WTA title at the Nuremberg Cup last year and finished the season ranked seventh in the world. Everything seemed to be lining up nicely for the 21-year-old from Westmount, Que. In addition to her on-court success, she signed with sports management powerhouse WME-IMG to help maximize the value of her brand and
expand her presence in the fashion industry. Bouchard appeared primed to take things to the next level on and off the court. Instead, her 2015 season has simply been a disaster. It’s hard to pinpoint the reason why she has managed only a handful of victories this year. She may still be adjusting to new coach Sam Sumyk. Expectations have been much higher and Bouchard has battled an abdominal injury in recent weeks. She said Wednesday that’s she’s feeling better, is back training and is not paying attention to the critics. “It’s been interesting for me to see how when I started doing well, how everyone jumped on the bandwagon or whatever - building me up so much,” Bouchard said. “And then to see how they would break you down so much as well, so it’s just how the media is, to always have a story and things like that. I just separate myself from that.
“I know what I do and I know what I believe in. It’s hard not to hear it or see it, but (I try) to just kind of give it some distance and not really worry about it.” Bouchard’s season began with a quarter-final loss to Russian star Maria Sharapova at the Australian Open. It has been a steady decline since. She lost in the round of 16 at her next two tournaments, fell to a No. 113-ranked qualifier in Miami and lost to a 66thranked opponent in her first match at her next tournament. That was followed by a pair of Fed Cup losses and opening-match defeats in five of her next seven events. Bouchard recently slipped 14 positions to No. 26 in the world rankings. “I’m definitely hard on myself so if I do have a bad loss, I’m like ‘Well, I completely deserve this.’ You know what I mean?,” she said. “But there definitely are some harsher critics than others and so-
called haters and things like that. But I think it’s all part of the job so you know, bring it on.” She’ll try to turn things around at the Aug. 8-16 Rogers Cup at the Aviva Centre in north Toronto. The men’s tournament will be held Aug. 7-16 at Montreal’s Uniprix Stadium. Making things even tougher for Bouchard is that her seeding will be much lower given her recent slide in the rankings. She may have to play top players earlier in the draw and the 56-player field is expected to be quite deep. As for the 24-year-old Raonic, he’s still limited due to a right foot injury but is planning to resume on-court training next week. The world No. 8 from Thornhill, Ont., was moving well around the temporary court atop a barge docked along the Lake Ontario shoreline. He hit some balls with youngsters from local tennis clubs and was joined by Bouchard for some easy rallies
under the bright afternoon sunshine. “She’s dealing with it and she’s dealing with it well,” Raonic said of Bouchard’s slump. “It’s definitely been tough but I’m sure she has all the answers and the team around her that are giving her the right kind of direction. Normally it’s the hard work that gets you back on track.” Bouchard admits she’s not a very patient person. But she feels that she’s been forced into using patience to try to help her game. “In my situation, I feel like I didn’t have much of an option in the sense like, OK I lost a couple matches and still had to keep going,” she said. “I just kind of knew it would still be a long road to try to improve my tennis and improve my match play. It just didn’t really give me much of an option. I was just like, OK I have to put my head down and keep working, keep working and have the belief that it will come.”
Toronto mayor won’t rule out possible future Olympic bid Paol a Loriggio Canadian Press
TORONTO - The mayor of Toronto says the city now has sports facilities to host international competitions that could previously only be held in Vancouver, leaving the door open for a future Olympic bid. The city is currently hosting the Pan Am Games, which wrap up Sunday, and Mayor John Tory said Wednesday that the event has put Toronto on the global map for athletic events. “There’s a whole variety of international events and sporting competitions that we’re now in a position to host, which I think is good for Toronto, good for Ontario and good for Canada, and the Olympics is one of those,” he said. The mayor said he won’t discuss a potential bid for the Olympic Games until after the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games are over. The Parapan Am Games end in mid-August. Cities looking to host the 2024 Summer Olym-
pics have until Sept. 15 to submit a letter of application to the International Olympic Committee. Those deemed viable have until early 2016 to turn in a bid concept. The committee will evaluate concepts and choose official candidate cities, which will be examined by a commission of experts before the winner is chosen in the summer of 2017. Toronto has made several failed bids for the Olympic Games, most recently when it lost to Beijing for the 2008 Summer Games. There is a precedent for a city hosting the Pan Am and the Olympic Games in close succession. Rio de Janeiro hosted the Pan Am Games in 2007 and is set to welcome the Summer Olympics next year. John Furlong, who led the bid and committee for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, said there’s no doubt Toronto has the infrastructure and the organizational skills to host an event such as the Olympics.

COTR welcomes new Dean of Trades and Technology DARYL SCHMIDT
College of the Rockies Vice-President, Education and Applied Research Stan Chung is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Jack Moes as the new Dean of Trades and Technology. Moes possesses extensive college leadership and management
experience, most recently in the role of Vice-President Academic and Research at Assiniboine Community College. Moes led the development of the college’s Academic Charter while spearheading initiatives in aboriginal education, applied research, internationalization, campus plan-
ning, and rural economic development. Holding a PhD in Plant Science from the University of Manitoba, a Masters in Science in Agronomy and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Moes has been a college/university instructor, dean of agriculture and the environment, associate
Canfor updates plan for sustainable forestry STE VE HUBRECHT Invermere Valley Echo
Canfor is in the final stages of preparing its new Sustainable Forest Management Plan. Work on the plan began more than a year ago, and a draft version has been available for public comment for the past two months. The impetus for the plan came when Canfor acquired Tembec forest license holdings in the Radium Hot Springs area. Canfor had operated its other holdings in the East Kootenay under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification standards, while the Tembec holding was run under the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification standards. “So basically what we are doing with this new plan is bring the two existing management plans together, and merging them into a single plan that meets both certification criteria,” said Canfor First Nations and planning co-ordinator Grant Neville. Both existing management plans are about 10 years old, but each already undergoes sporadic updates as science progress and forest management practices correspondingly
change. “It’s a continuous improvement cycle,” said Neville. The first step in putting together the new Sustainable Forest Management Plan was consulting with various stakeholders groups, a public advisory group (comprised of stakeholders, citizens and environmental groups such as Wildsight), and First Nations. “We then put it out for review and comment,” said Neville, adding that process resulted in 15 comments, and the company will begin contacting the comment writers soon. Where appropriate, it will incorporate their feedback into the plan. “We’re hoping to finalize the plan in late August or early September,” he said. “I give the public advisory group a lot of credit for the work they’ve done. It’ll be good to have a finished product and people are justifiably proud of what’s been accomplished in this plan.” The new plan is comprehensive in nature, providing both a strategic approach (dealing with overall concepts) a tactical approach (laying out specific procedures).
vice-president of research and planning, and vice-president academic and research. “I am delighted to be joining College of the Rockies and excited about working with the College community, industry, and all our partners. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the beauty of the Kootenays in my decision,” says Moes. “I am drawn to College of the Rockies’ mission of transforming lives and enriching communities and to its vision for creating and delivering ‘the most personal learning experiences in Canada.’ The
College’s values resonate with my own: I am passionate in my pursuit of learning and student-success, of innovation and creativity, and I believe I have something to learn from people in all their diversity.” “I am inspired to have someone of Jack’s passion for learning and innovation joining our team. We look forward to his contributions to our community,” notes Chung. Moes and his wife Catherine will be relocating to the Cranbrook area from Manitoba this summer. He will commence his duties at the College September 1.
Dr. Jack Moes will begin his new role as Dean of Trades and Technology at College of the Rockies on September 1

Ten Easy Ways to Stay on Budget this Summer The lazy days of summer are here and with them come plenty of ways to spend. Here’s some easy tips to keep your budget on track through the sunny season! 1. Keep it on tap. Fill your own reusable bottles each day instead of buying bottled water. You’ll save money, and do good things for the planet. 2. Be a borrower. Get your summer reading material at the library or online. 3. Skip the brands. We go through a lot of sunscreen and similar products in summer. Shop for cheaper house brands: the quality is usually excellent. 4. Perfect the potluck. Make your own signature dish and get
guests to bring a favourite of their own, allowing them to share in the cost and effort of your backyard meal. 5. Pack a lunch. Make it part of the experience of a car trip or excursion. Find a picnic spot to enjoy your homemade goodies. 6. Shop the sales. Hold off updating your wardrobe until the summer styles go on sale. 7. Chill. Replace your AC filters. Set the temperature just one degree higher. Open the windows at night, and close the blinds during the day. On hot days, skip the hot stove. 8. Festival season. Lots of great events are completely free of charge. Look online for
something you’ll love. 9. Snap up those souvenirs. The best summer souvenirs are often the photos. Skip the souvenir shops; take more pictures instead. 10. Take a load off. Take advantage of historically low interest rates to refinance your mortgage and roll large amounts of credit card debt into your mortgage, if you have enough equity. This simple strategy can save thousands, give you one easy payment, and help you be mortgage free sooner. Then take that credit card, and put a post-it note on it that says “emergency use only”. Now kick back and really enjoy your summer!

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Others seem to be making more requests than usual. Even if you are getting a little annoyed, remember how valued you are. Find a creative way of handling your popularity. Infuse more humor into the moment. Tonight: Time for a one-on-one with a loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your efficiency might be tested, but you will be able to move through a lot of questions and come up with helpful responses. Honor a change of pace. Know when to not get involved with a difficult loved one. Let this person cool off. Tonight: Allow someone to reel you in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others might be a little too serious-minded, but you’ll remain nonjudgmental. Focus on your ever-growing creativity. You can breeze right through what others consider to be a major hassle. Be compassionate with a difficult loved one. Tonight: Ever playful and fun-loving.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be seeing a situation in a different light. Reveal your perspective, but also make a point of listening to someone else’s. When you recognize the differences, you both can get away from your positions and perhaps consider other options. Tonight: Be less judgmental. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to come to an understanding with a key person. Start talking and make sure this person understands where you are coming from. Don’t overreact, even if he or she slams the door on you. Just listen and respond. Tonight: Agree to disagree. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Approach a financial matter with discipline and sternness. Be careful when making any money agreements right now. You might need to root out a problem in order to have the financial freedom you want. Curb a tendency to overthink a problem. Tonight: All smiles. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Bring a treat to work for your
Tundra
co-workers or when meeting up with friends. You’ll set the mood and be able to avoid a hassle. You could be worrying about a personal matter. Let it go and see how the situation develops. Tonight: Be careful what you ask for. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to news with an open mind, and be aware of what is happening around you. You are in a position to gain a lot of information, as long as you don’t overreact. Be willing to ask a question or two, but keep a calm demeanor. Tonight: Head out the door to meet a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Zero in on your priorities, especially those involving a meeting. What you say has an impact and will make a difference. You might be privy to some important information that others aren’t. Don’t spill the beans; choose your words with care. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be in a position to take the lead on a project. You know how to delegate, and
others remain responsive to your requests. Be more sensitive and open to feedback, as it will create a tighter bond between you and others. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Do more research and ask for feedback from people in the know. Detach when making a decision, and you will get feedback or opinions from those in your immediate circle. You could receive a lot of support from a close associate. Tonight: Count on a late bedtime. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could get an earful from a partner or associate. Be aware of your limits, and know what is needed here. Stay on top of a personal matter. A discussion could become volatile if you are not careful and choose to remain unresponsive. Tonight: The discussion continues. BORN TODAY Actor Daniel Radcliffe (1989), radio host Don Imus (1940), musician Slash (1965) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am running out of advice for my daughter, “Katie.” She lives with her fiance. Last year, his middle-aged, disabled father moved in with them. A month ago, his sister, her fiance and their two toddlers also moved in. The children wreak havoc on her clean, organized home. Neither the sister nor the father will clean up after themselves when they use the kitchen. The sister lets her kids get into everything. The father sits in his room all day. To keep the peace, Katie chooses to keep quiet until she comes to see me. Then she unloads all of her aggravation. I don’t know what to tell her. How does she get these lazy, sloppy people to pick up after themselves? -- Katie’s Mom Dear Mom: Katie isn’t asking you for advice. She is frustrated by her home situation and is venting to you because you are her safe refuge. If she truly wants the freeloaders to help out (or leave), she needs to discuss how to handle this with her fiance and reach an agreement before it overwhelms their relationship. Simply allow her to air her feelings, listen attentively, nod your head and make sympathetic sounds. If she asks what to do, tell her to talk to her fiance. If she is reluctant to do that, she is setting herself up for a lifetime of marital misery. Dear Annie: I am recently divorced from an abusive man after 25 years, and I decided to try online dating. The first site did no background checks and when I did a Google search on the photos of the men who approached me, I discovered they were not who they said they were. The second dating site verified my photo and account info, so I felt more secure. However, there are scam artists there, too. One of them drew me in, but after a month of texts and emails, I have come to realize he, too, just wants money. My heart is broken, but I know time will heal it. Here are my words of wisdom for your readers who try online dating: These sites are rife with con artists. Make sure the site does background checks or verification of some kind. Do not give prospective suitors your email address. Communicate only through the site. Meet only in a public place and have a friend accompany you. If he keeps coming up with excuses to change the date, drop him. If he tells you he’s in love after one or two emails, drop him. He’s a phony. If he asks you for money, even a small amount, drop him. If he tells you he has to leave for an overseas trip and then needs money to get home, drop him. I was so drawn in by this guy’s beautiful words and romancing that I let my heart rule my head. Warn others. -- Know Better Dear Know: Happy to. There have always been “romance” scams, but the Internet makes it easier. Entire industries exist to take advantage of lonely people, even on legitimate sites. There are ways to verify someone’s photo online -- as well as those flowery, romantic statements -- to see whether they are stolen from another source. No matter how wonderful someone seems, NEVER meet them in your home or theirs, or allow them to drive you somewhere. And NEVER send them money. Be careful.

Obituaries John Walter MacKenzie 1932 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015 John Walter MacKenzie (Mawk) was born on July 12, 1932 in Kimberley, BC to Catherine and Walter and was the youngest of 8 children. At 83, he passed away peacefully on July 19, 2015 at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.
John is survived by his wife Marilyn, son Paul, many nieces and nephews and by his 2 special sisters in law, Connie MacKenzie and Patricia Hargrave and their families. His father Walter, mother Catherine, brothers Duncan, Ian, Gordon and Sisters Anna, Doris, Verna and Ruth predecease him. John and Marilyn (Kozak) were married in 1962 and welcomed the birth of their only son Paul, 5 years later. John was a very active sportsman, which led him into his love of sports. John participated in many sports including soccer, boxing, bowling, curling, baseball and he excelled in all that he partook. As a 20 year old in 1952 he participated as a boxer in the Golden Gloves. Later in life, he was a member on a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling team and succeeded in winning the East Kootenay zone championships 12 times. John loved baseball, more so the Brooklyn and then the Los Angeles Dodgers. John spent many happy summers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and as recently as 2 summers ago with his son Paul. In his younger days he was the manager and coach of the BPOE Angels Baseball team and only wore the Angels cap during games, afterwards, quickly switching back to his beloved Dodgers cap. Being a good Scotchman, John played the drums with the Kimberley Pipe Band for many years. He was also an avid fan of the Kimberley Dynamiters and served on the executive when the Dynamiters won the Allen Cup in 1978. Prior to his retirement in 1993 John worked at the City of Kimberley as the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation. During his Tenure, he was known for his ice making skills in the Civic Center and the well-maintained condition of the local parks, ball fields and cemetery. John volunteered in many local organizations, some of these from their conception, including the Bavarian Society, the Festivals, both JulyFest and WinterFest, and the creation and administration of the Bocce pits. John was one of the founders of the Kimberley Sullivan Mine Underground Railroad and spent many seasons volunteering wherever he was needed. A 60 plus year member of the Kimberley Elks Club, John enjoyed serving on the executive and executing administrational duties until 2013. John loved his family and friends. He loved to attend Dodger baseball in Los Angeles, relax in Hawaii and to work in his yard in Kimberley. Words cannot express the impact he has had on our lives and he will be dearly missed. A Graveside Memorial Service will be held at the Kimberley Cemetery for family and friends on Saturday July 25, 2015 at 1:00 pm, followed by a celebration of Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life at 2:00 pm at the Kimberley Elks Club. In lieu for flowers please make donations to the Sullivan Mine and Railway Society (SM&R) Box 94, Kimberley, BC V1A 2Y5. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

An assistant shows fragments of an old Quran at the University of Birmingham, central England on Wednesday. The university said scientific tests prove a Quran manuscript in its collection is one of the oldest known and may have been written close to the time of the Prophet Muhammad.
Qur’an parchment dates to the time of the prophet Danic a Kirk a Associated Press
LONDON - A British university disclosed Wednesday that scientific tests prove a Qur’an manuscript in its collection is one of the oldest known and may have been written close to the time of the Prophet Muhammad. The announcement by the University of Birmingham thrilled Muslim scholars and the local community, which boasts one of the country’s largest Muslim populations. The find came after questions raised by a doctoral student prompted radiocarbon testing that dated the parchment to the time of the prophet, who is generally believed to have lived between 570 and 632. “This manuscript could well have been written just after he died,” David Thomas, a professor of Christianity and Islam at the University of Birmingham said of the fragment written in ink on goat or sheepskin. “Parts of the Qur’an that are contained in those fragments are very similar indeed to the Qur’an as we have it today. This tends to support the view that the Qur’an that we now have is more or less very close indeed to the Qur’an as it was brought together in the early years of Islam.” Muslim tradition says the prophet received the revelations of the Qur’an between 610 and 632 - but it wasn’t written down immediately. The first leader of the community after Muhammad’s death, Caliph Abu Bakr, ordered the book to be written and it was completed by the third leader, Caliph Uthman, in 650. Thomas said the tests conducted by Oxford University suggest the animal from which the parchment was taken was alive during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad or shortly afterward. The two parchment leaves contains parts of suras, or chapters, 18 to
20. The manuscript is written with ink in an early form of Arabic script known as Hijazi. The manuscript has long been part of the university’s Cadbury Research Library. But it had been bound improperly and was attached to the leaves of a manuscript with a similar script that is not as old. The library houses approximately 200,000 pre1850 books dating from 1471 and around 4 million manuscripts. The carbon dating was undertaken after an Italian doctoral research student, Alba Fedeli of Milan, noticed the difference in the writing. She also found discrepancies in the documentation that made her question whether the works were the same. She said the development was just as wonderful as the rest of her work, trying to downplay the attention that followed her discovery. “Every time I have a chance to see an original manuscript, I feel I have a beautiful opportunity,” Fedeli said. “I was very happy to add a further element.” Birmingham is a centre of Islam in Britain, with about 20 per cent of the city describing themselves as adherents of the faith. The planned display for the manuscript in October could prove a boon to the local economy, with adherents already expressing an interest in travelling to the city to see a piece of history. Muhammad Ali, the administrator at Birmingham Central Mosque, described his emotion at being among only a handful of people invited to view the manuscript three weeks ago after its importance was recognized. “There were tears in my eyes,” he said, recalling his thrill at seeing something from the time of the prophet. “It is very much unique. This is something from his life.”

It happened this week in Cranbrook
Week of July 19 - 25
Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1902 Lasted short time … James Ryan, “Salty” McKenzie and Tom Cavin gave a practical demonstration the other day that honest toil is all right. Mr. Ryan is having a trench excavated for a water pipe. These three horny-handed sons of toil, assumed charge of the work for a time and made great progress. Cavin drove the team, Ryan handled the scraper and McKenzie manipulated the shovel. Quite a crowd gathered to see what three good workmen could do. There was only one fault to find. Inside of 15 minutes all three jumped their job. The weather was too warm and the excitement too great. A pleasant dance ... A most enjoyable dancing party was given last Friday evening by the young friends of Miss Dolly Watt, in her honor, as she expects to leave in a few days for a protracted visit in the east. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and there were just enough present to make the evening a pleasant one in every respect. Ouch! … Fred Beaver, better known as “Prof”, while under the influence of liquor on Saturday evening was walking down the main line of the C P. R. just as the express from the west came along. The en-
gineer saw the man on the track after rounding the curve and whistled for him to get off, but “Prof” failed to realize his danger and walked straight into the engine with the result that he is now minus a leg. It was thought for some moments that he was killed but this proved to be incorrect upon examination as was found that aside from one leg being badly mangled there was no other serious injury. Beaver was taken to the hospital where the injured member was amputated by Drs. Bonnell and Corsan. Lake wanted … What Cranbrook should have is a lake. It would be a great thing these days. Some fisherman … The Frank Sentinel says that Dan McLeod now claims to be the champion fisherman of this district. In two days last week he landed 177 speckled beauties. 1903 Keep it brief … In the days of mosquitos and prickly heat it is a wise preacher who realizes that brevity is a strong factor in salvation when figuring on his sermons. Tenders wanted ... Tenders wanted on 200 feet rock tunnel and one mile water ditch, clearing right of way included. Apply to F. L. Byron, Cranbrook Hotel Cranbrook, B. C. What you need is … “In the Good Old Summer Time” you should not be without Beattie’s Cream of Witch Hazel. Remarkably good for relieving and healing sun-
burn. Splendid for removing tan and freckles. Soothes and relieves mosquito bites. Excellent for after shaving. It softens and smoothes rough patches, moisten dry, harsh spots; adds in restoring colour to faded cheeks and when used properly is very beneficial in clearing the skin of pimples and blackheads. Price 25 cents per bottle at Beattie’s. Where it Pays to Deal Take care … There is entirely too much reckless riding on the main street of this town. Someday a woman or child will be injured and then, when it is too late, it will be stopped. Mcvittie house … J. R. Downes, of the Cosmopolitan hotel, has purchased the A. W. McVittie house and furniture. Mrs. Downes and their two daughters, who have been attending school in Paris, will return home about September 1st, and Mr. Downes wants to have the house ready for them at that time. White laundry needed … Cranbrook has arrived at the stage when a first class steam laundry operated by white men should pay. The absence of such an institution has compelled the people here to patronize the Chinese, but The Herald is of the opinion that a white laundry properly managed would be paying proposition in Cranbrook. This town has sufficient population and it is of the class that would patronize a white laundry in preference to the Mongolian joints. The Herald would like to see it tried, to

say the least.
1904 Young gentlemen wanted … There are a lot of young boys in Cranbrook who are simply growing, they are not being trained. What they will be in manhood is not difficult to figure out. They take no interest in educational matters, they have no interest in the future, they don’t care to be gentlemen, they simply want to be vile, tough and worthless. It is a pity that there is not some power that might be used to show these misguided youths the awful error they are falling into. Some parents seem to be as careless as the boys. There is no excuse for that. They know better, and it is little less than criminal for them to ignore the conditions and allow their boys to drift into lives that will bear only the fruit of regret and remorse. Be men, boys. Be a credit to yourselves and your parents. It will be a great future for the manly young man, the earnest young man, the energetic young man. It will be a sad one for the ignorant, irresponsible, worthless chap. The time to change is now. Hammer needed … If some good Samaritan would pound down the nails sticking up in the sidewalks on the business streets, it would be a blessing to the community. Bad fall … Mrs. D. Alton fell down the cellar steps at her home recently and severely sprained her knee, so that she was confined to
her bed for several days and will not be fully recovered for some time to come. Nice view … A great improvement has been made in the appearance of the residential portion of the town by J. P. Fink and G. Patmore cutting down the growth of poplars along the slough at the base of Baker Hill. The beautiful residences are now in full view from the lower part of the town, and if the rest of the trees were cut down it would make 100 per cent difference in the appearance of the town. Another fish story … Wm. Burton and Joe Jackson caught 988 trout on their fishing excursion to Goat river, and as Mr. Mr. Burton expressed it, “we did not fish very hard either.” Moyie mine … The work at the St. Eugene is being pushed as rapidly as possible, new men being put on from time to time. The shaft has now been pumped out and a large force of men put to work in the lower levels. The recent strike makes the mine even more valuable than was thought and proves that Moyie is surrounded by hills that hold mineral, which cannot be exhausted for years to come. Very smart … The Cranbrook hotel looks like a new building. Messrs. Hoggarth & Rollins do not propose to quit until they have one of the best hotels in this part of the country. They have still other improvements in view that will make the place very attractive.

FACTS You Need to Know About…
THE HIGHER THAN FORECAST SURPLUS With
MLA,
Bill Bennett
1
The Finance Minister has announced that B.C. ended the 2014-15 fiscal year with a $1.68 billion surplus – $1.5 billion higher than what was originally forecast. B.C. also recorded a better-than-forecasted debt-to-GDP ratio along with reduced operating debt.
2 3
This helped us manage our debt and helped repay money we had to borrow to pay for services during the past global economic crisis in 2008. The 3 major credit rating agencies have all affirmed their highest credit ratings for B.C. A stark change from the bad fiscal management of the NDP. Our government promised taxpayers that we will respect the money they give us and we will continue to do so.

5 Minutes for Business
The Return of Crisis: What it Means for Canada’s Economy Hendrik Brakel Dark storms are gathering over the global economy. Greece is once again at the precipice, insolvent and in need of another €85 billion to stave off collapse and recapitalize its shattered banks. At the same time, China’s stock market is in a 1929-style meltdown. Either one of these events would be a big shock to the global economy, but to have both at the same time is an economic earthquake. Poor Stephen Harper. He would dearly love to be talking about how Canada had the strongest growth in the G-7, which it did up until 2012, and to tout his government’s sound management. But the economy isn’t cooperating and, worse, it’s being hammered by international forces that are beyond our control. Let’s start with Greece, a country that is insolvent with 26% unemployment, collapsing banks and a debt-to-GDP ratio of 180%. This is now its third bailout as it already received some €240 billion in support. The problem is the bailouts came with tough conditions: brutal spending cuts and tax increases that pushed the Greek economy from a recession into a downward spiral. The country’s GDP has contracted by 27% since the start of the crisis, more than the U.S. during the Great Depression. That’s why many believe Greece would be better off if it exited
the euro. The government could print drachmas, the former Greek currency, to spend on public works. This currency would plummet in value making Greece competitive in exports and a dream for tourists. But the country would default on its debts, and the financial system would collapse. The point is either Europe spends limitless sums backing insolvent banks and a bankrupt government in exchange for half-hearted austerity that probably won’t work. Or Greece exits the euro. Both scenarios are bad news for European growth prospects. The other economic superpower is China, where shares have plummeted more than 30% since June. A staggering US$340 billion has been lent out by brokers for stock purchases, and the downturn is forcing shareholders to sell in order to cover losses. Share prices would be down even further except the government halted trading in 1,300 companies and directed state-owned financial institutions to buy shares. This is likely to have ripple effects, hurting confidence and further slowing China’s economy. What does it all mean for Canada? The outlook for commodities depends very much on global demand. Collectively, the European Union is the world’s largest economy. The world’s largest consumer of commodities is China. Both are showing signs of weakness, which is why commodities are in retreat and oil prices have dropped back to $52 a barrel. Canada’s GDP has fallen four months in a row and its exports will decline again in the second quarter. On September 1, Statistics Canada will release the latest quarterly GDP number, which is likely to be negative, meaning Canada will officially be in a recession. For the federal political parties, this is earthshaking because it makes the status quo much less acceptable. More importantly, leaders will have to explain what they will do about Canada’s weak economy. Stimulus spending is helpful but short-lived. A much better option would be to make the Canadian economy more competitive so that business can win more sales and create more jobs.

TIME TO SLAY THE RED TAPE MONSTER By David D. Hull, Executive Director
David D. Hull
I am a member of the “Owl Club” and the “Koala Club” in Birmingham Ala. And just like the American Express adverts of years gone by “membership does have its privileges.” In the suburban part of Birmingham, deep in the U.S. south where my friends live, the local Hooters is really more like a family restaurant, with young ladies in orange shorts and tank tops, serving pretty good
Hey, Let’s talk insurance.
food and beverages. Sorry guys to wreck the illusion! The large gathering of Canadians, down for a wedding, met there numerous times during the week leading up. The Sunday after the big shindig I arrived to meet the group, yet again at Hooters.. The server asked me if I was a member of “The Owl Club.” Looking a bit bewildered I responded in the negative. She informed me “in this county we cannot serve alcohol on Sundays as a pub so we are a private club.”

“Red Tape” is a derisive term for excessive regulation, or rigid conformity to formal

So a licenced pub in greater Birmingham, population of about a million, cannot serve liquor on Sunday but they can “become a private club” and carry on like the previous six days of the week.
rules that is considered redundant or bureaucratic, and hinders or prevents action or decision-making. It is usually applied to governments, corporations, and other large organizations.
Being a quick study, and fancying myself a humourist, I said, “Not only am I a member, I am the President.” Clearly, the confused looked indicated she did not watch Hair Club for Men adverts on the television. But at least I laughed.

He said he has been working there four years and had never been checked. This example of crazy rules, and red tape, is not limited to one county in Alabama. Bureaucracy gone mad has permeated every level of government everywhere.
I said I didn’t really want to “join a club” I just wanted a beer. After being assured there was no charge, and only a few lines to fill out on a running registration sheet of other “Owl Club Members,” I signed up.
After an afternoon of reminiscing we decided to head to the Australian-themed Outback Steakhouse across the car park. The nice young lady at the hostess station asked me if I was a member of the “Koala Club.”

at least two verses of Waltzing Matilda and saying in my best Aussie accent “A dingo ate me baby,” how often they were inspected to ensure “membership” compliance in their little Sunday club.
So after filling in a few lines, and trying out more sophomoric humour, I became a member in good standing of the Koala Club. I asked the night manager as I was going through the initiation process, which included singing
The time involved for permits and permissions of all types, at all levels of governments in Canada, is unacceptable. From when an complete application is submitted for a project is simply way too long. Many projects die on the vine as the economics of the project have significantly changed during the application process and are no longer viable. We are in competition with neighbouring jurisdictions, provinces, and countries worldwide. Government needs to create an environment that is conducive for trade and commerce to flourish and benefit all citizens. Time to slay the red tape monster and bring an end to the strangle of bureaucracy on forward progress. That said, I do feel a little special being a member of the Owl and Koala Clubs of Birmingham, Alabama.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has just released a very important report Our National Competitiveness and Canada’s Territories. Canada is fighting for its economic leadership against aggressive, agile, foreign competitors and needs economic strength in all of its regions to compete and win. With the exception of those who live, work, and invest in the territories, most Canadians are not aware of their potential – with their vast natural resources, breathtaking geography and young, fast growing Aboriginal population - to contribute to our economic edge and collective prosperity. Reducing the dependence of Canada’s territories on the federal government for financial transfers and jobs will improve our national competitiveness. With the right tools, business in the territories can make economic growth and increased independence from the federal government happen. The lack of economic development tools for businesses in Canada’s territories was included in the Canadian Chambers Top 10 Barriers to Competitiveness. Building upon work started in 2012, during 2014 and early 2015 the Canadian Chamber met with business people in the three territories to learn more about the tools they told us are critical to their success and to increasing their economic footprint. In this paper, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce identifies the key federal policy levers that give businesses the tools to grow and offers recommendations on how to improve the environment for business in the territories.

WE WANT YOU…..
President’s
Report
To Join the Policy & Government Affairs Committee Are you a thought leader? Love public policy? Want to make our city, province, country a better place? Then the Chamber’s Policy and Government Affairs committee might be for you.
Dave Struthers
Happy summer to all. It is hard to believe another year is half over. While we have taken a break from hosting regular luncheons over the summer months, that doesn’t mean the Chamber of Commerce is taking the summer off and putting our feet up in a beach chair with a cool drink – although it does sounds rather inviting! Your Chamber staff and board of directors are busy working on the key strategic initiatives identified during our annual strategic planning session: governance, advocacy and relevance to members. Since we’re at the mid-point of the year, it’s a good time to take stock of our progress. Over the past six months the Chamber board have focused a lot of our energy on organizational governance. With the transition from a General Manager to an Executive Director at the beginning of the year, it was a logical time to conduct a review of our internal processes and identify opportunities to enhance the organization. To that end, we have streamlined our internal budgeting and financial reporting procedures, realigned the structure and function of the Chamber board and committees, and reviewed and updated our bylaws, which will be presented to the Chamber membership for adoption at the September Chamber luncheon.
The Policy and Government Affairs Committee helps identify issues that are important to Cranbrook’s business community and act as advisors that work with senior staff and the board to create policy positions which the Chamber advances to various levels of government for consideration. The Policy and Government Affairs committee are the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce main information and policy development resource. Tasked to develop policies reflecting the best interests of the local business community the committee serves as the main policy advice arm for the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce. The committee members work diligently to discuss and develop policy issues into policy positions, which they believe will invoke change and have a positive impact on regional trade and commerce and Cranbrook’s business community. If you would like more information or would like to join this active exciting committee please contact David Hull at the Chamber office 250 426 5914 or via email davidhull@cranbrookchamber.com
On the advocacy front, we continue to advance the day-to-day business and economic development concerns and ideas of our members to the City of Cranbrook council members and senior staff. We are encouraged to see that council’s recent announcement regarding strategic priorities for the next four years includes fostering local and regional economic Dr. Burwash & staff at development through a collaborative approach BAKER HILL DENTAL and reducing barriers to business within City Hall – both are priorities the Chamber has been are thrilled to announce that advocating for over the past several years. In addition, we have recently created a Policy and Government Affairs committee, which will enhance our advocacy efforts by shaping and advancing policy and leading the public conversation on Issues Important to the Cranbrook business community.
Dr. Kevin Shen
has joined our clinic. We welcome Dr. Kevin and his wife to Cranbrook!
On a final note, on behalf of the Chamber board, staff, and members, I would like to thank Cathy Bauer for her many years of dedicated service to the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce and wish her the very best as she pursues a new career opportunity with the Interior Health Authority. Have a great summer everyone! If you have any comments, questions or concerns regarding your Chamber of Commerce, please feel free to contact me through the office.

Reducing Red Tape • There are 130,000 different regulations and paperwork requirements across the federal government. • This regulatory burden destroys jobs and economic growth across this country and hurts Canada’s productivity. • Our Government wants to ensure the regulatory burden is not increased. • For every regulation that we create, we have legislated that the government must reduce another regulation. We are the only government in the world to do so. • Our Government is committed to reducing red tape and regulatory irritants to businesses. • That’s why Economic Action Plan 2015 takes action to do just that, with measures such as: •
Being more relevant to more businesses is the third leg of the proverbial strategy stool for the Chamber. This encompasses the advocacy efforts noted above, as well as member services. Our Executive Director, David D. Hull, and Membership Services Coordinator, Laura Haley, have been hard at work developing a new Member-to-Member program, as well as new member retention and recruitment initiatives. In addition, the Chamber has significantly enhanced our communications efforts in print, social media, and web platforms, with the goal of keeping members informed on relevant business issues. Our new and dramatically enhanced website will be launched in August. Look for announcements in the next few weeks.

BROOKS, Alta. - RCMP are blaming rubber-neck drivers for two collisions on a southern Alberta highway that left one person in hospital with serious injuries. Mounties say the trouble started after emergency crews shut down both westbound lanes of the Trans-Canada Highway near Brooks late Tuesday night to deal with a fire in a semi carrying frozen chicken. Around the same time, three eastbound vehicles collided when the

No one was seriously hurt, but as crews crossed the road to help with that accident, three more vehicles were involved in a separate collision because of drivers gawking at the calamity. A 64-year-old woman was airlifted to hospital after she was cut from the wreckage of a minivan. There’s no immediate word on whether charges will be laid.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Forty-five new wildfires were sparked in British Columbia on Tuesday, but an official with the Wildfire Management Branch notes the picture is not as bleak as it could be. Fire information officer Ryan Turcot says cooler, unsettled conditions have had a slightly moderating effect. He says the latest fires are not
as aggressive as those sparked Monday, but adds gusty winds are complicating fire fighting efforts in southern B.C. Turcot says most of the new fires are concentrated in the Kamloops and Southeast fire centres. There are seven evacuation alerts or orders in place for residents near B.C. fire lines, including an order for those who live in
70 homes near the Westside Road fire outside West Kelowna where a fire that flared Monday is spreading uncontrolled. Statistics show 1,292 blazes recorded this season, pushing firefighting costs to $136-million, with bills mounting daily. Flames have charred 2,950-square kilometres of bush and timber across B.C., since the forest fire season began in April.

Relative crime rate fell last year to 1969 levels C ANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - Serious crime in Canada dropped last year to its lowest level since 1969. Statistics Canada says police-reported crime relative to the population saw its 11th straight decrease. In all, police services reported almost 1.8 million Criminal Code incidents in 2014 - exclud-
ing traffic offences. That represents a three per cent drop from 2013. The agency attributes the lower rate mostly to fewer breakins and robberies. Bucking the downward crime trend were offences such as child pornography and terrorism.

Tory says the Pan Am Games, which wrap up Sunday, have opened the door for Toronto to -welcome a number of eathletic events, including the Olympics. The mayor says he won’t discuss a potential bid for the Olympic Games until after the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games are over, but says nothing’s off the table at this point. Cities looking to host the 2024 Summer Olympics have until Sept. 15 to submit a letter of apdplication to the Interna-

tional Olympic Committee. The winning city will be chosen in the summer of 2017. Toronto has made several failed bids for the Olympic Games, most recently when it lost to Beijing for the 2008 Summer Games. “There’s a whole variety of international events and sporting competitions that we’re now in a position to host, which I think is good for Toronto, good for Ontario and good for Canada, and the Olympics is one of those, obviously, about which there’s a great discussion,” Tory said. “I guess everything’s on the table until you take it off the table,” he said.
A look at the economic stimulus known as quantitative easing PE TER HENDERSON Canadian Press
TORONTO - Finance Minister Joe Oliver said on Tuesday that economic stimulus in the form of quantitative easing from the Bank of Canada is “not on the table.” That’s despite growing concerns that the country is in an economic downturn. The decision to implement the measure rests with Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz. Here is a look at quantitative easing: What is quantitative easing? Central banks control the flow of money in and out of the economy and look to stimulate or mitigate economic growth when necessary. With quantitative easing, central banks create new money and use it to buy assets and securities held by the banks. How does it work? Buying up assets and secu-
rities owned by the banks is meant to boost investment in the economy in a similar way to cutting interest rates. With more money on hand, banks should be more willing to lend to entrepreneurs looking to build a new business or established conglomerates seeking to expand their operations. Those new businesses should in turn hire new workers, who spend their salaries on new mortgages, flat-screen TVs or other goods. That, in theory, kicks the economy back into the black. Why would Canada need it? We may have slipped into a recession, which is defined as two quarters of negative economic growth. Despite a falling loonie, Canada is still importing more than it exports. For an economy based on selling energy, goods and services to the rest of the world, that’s a
bad sign. The economy appears to need a shot in the arm, and some experts say quantitative easing is the right prescription. Has it been implemented elsewhere? Yes. It is a relatively new monetary policy tool following the 2008 financial crisis. The central banks of the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and the European Union have all used variations of the policy. Are there drawbacks to quantitative easing?
Oliver is not alone in dismissing it and the policy is not without its detractors. Some are concerned that funnelling money to banks doesn’t necessarily lead to more lending. Others fear that when central banks begin selling off the assets they have collected, interest rates will rise and choke off whatever recovery may be underway. Quantitative easing also encourages inflation by putting more money in the system, which can be harmful to an economy recovering from recession.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has passed legislation setting tax rates in a 25-year project development deal for what the government hopes is the first of a series of liquefied natural gas export facilities. Premier Christy Clark invited Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain and Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald to the legislature for a brief celebration Tuesday, as debate wound down on a rare summer session of the B.C. legislature. Brain, a rookie mayor at age 29 and fourth generation Prince Rupert resident, said the prospect of economic recovery is welcome for the struggling community of 14,500 people. “When I was in high school we lost three major industries all at the same time in our town,” Brain said. “We lost our forest industry, our fishing industry and our mill. I lost a lot of friends, we lost half our population and ever since it’s been a struggle for our community to get back on track.” Clark said the project development agreement with Petronas-led Pacific Northwest LNG for the Port of Prince Rupert is complete from the government’s standpoint. She ruled out any further exemptions to the provincial sales tax that applies to investments in
plant and pipelines that could reach $36 billion. “We aren’t considering changing the way the PST is treated for this or any other projects,” Clark said, responding to comments by David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance. Keane questioned the suggestion that LNG investors are getting a discount for investing in B.C. “This is the only regime where we have to pay a special LNG tax,” Keane told reporters in Victoria last week. “It’s the only jurisdiction where we have to pay a carbon tax, and we also have to buy carbon offsets to get down to our greenhouse gas target that was legislated last year. “And in addition to that, we’re also going to be paying PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes, and corporate income taxes at both the federal and provincial levels.” Pacific Northwest still needs an environmental permit from the federal government, and approval from the Lax Kw’alaams Band, whose territory includes the Lelu Island site chosen for the LNG shipping terminal. Opposition MLAs opposed the agreement, citing a lack of job guarantees and protection for the investors from discriminatory tax and regulation changes for 25 years.

NEWS AUTOMOTION Republicans challenge Obama on Iran deal Obama administration officials seek support
DAVID ESPO AND DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press
WASHINGTON Congressional Republicans forcefully challenged President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran on Wednesday as the White House dispatched a Cabinet-level lobbying team to build support for the agreement to ease sanctions in exchange for concessions on the Islamic nation’s nuclear program. “No serious person truly believes” that the United States faces a choice between implementing the agreement and going to war with Iran, said Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, rebutting statements from Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry. Several other Republicans found fault with the deal in remarks on the Senate floor, including Sen. John Cornyn, who said there was a third option available. He noted the deal did not require the dismantling of Tehran’s nuclear infrastructure, and said, “There are tougher sanctions that will bring Iran to the table for a better deal and a good deal.” Across the Capitol,
Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer met privately with several House Republicans. One participant in the meeting, Rep. Dave Brat, said the diplomat’s main point had been to “pay less attention to all the details” like nuclear centrifuges, and more attention to “who’s on the other side of the ethical debate, and that is Iran.” Tehran is opposed to the existence of Israel. The remarks preceded closed-door meetings in the House and the Senate with Kerry and Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, both of whom were at the bargaining table with Iranians, as well as Treasury Secretary Jack Lew. The day’s sessions marked the beginning of the administration’s formal attempt to preserve the deal in what is likely to become a battle for enough votes to sustain a veto of Republicancrafted legislation that would torpedo it. The agreement can take effect without congressional approval, but Republicans are expected to try and sink it with legislation that would block Obama from lifting sanctions Congress has previously put in place. The president has
Strangers stop mother’s car from being towed CANADIAN PRESS
BARRIE, Ont. - A Barrie, Ont. mother says she’s overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers who saved her car from being towed while she waited in hospital for almost nine hours with her sick baby son. Kaylee Goemans thought she would only be at Royal Victoria Hospital for several hours on July 13, but as three hours ticked by before a doctor came, she grew concerned her car would be removed. Goemans, who had only paid for four hours of parking, send a message to a Facebook group for local mothers asking them if they knew whether her car would get ticketed or towed.
Her message garnered more than 100 comments from women who offered to stop by the parking meter to top it up. By the time Goemans’ mother picked up the car later that evening, there were five hours left on the meter, and Goemans’ Facebook feed was “blowing up” with messages and comments wishing her and her son well. The 27-year-old mother said the group’s generosity has kept on coming, with hundreds of mothers now asking for updates on her sixweek-old son’s condition, and others offering parking passes for Goemans to use on her next trip to hospital.
vowed to veto any such bill, and it would take a two-thirds majority in each house of the Republican-controlled Congress to override him. As a result, the prospect is for a two-month campaign by the administration to find at least 34 senators or 146 House members to prevent a veto override. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, an announced supporter of the deal, has expressed
optimism that the White House can prevail. On the other side of the political divide, some Republicans charged that Congress has not received documents concerning an alleged side deal between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency. In a statement issued Monday, Sen. Tom Cotton and Mike Pompeo, both Republicans, said that in a recent meeting with IAEA officials, they
had been told that two side deals “will remain secret, and will not be shared with other nations, with Congress or with the public.” One deals with inspection of Iran’s Parchin military complex, they said, and the other deals with resolving disputes over “possible military dimensions of Iran’s nuclear program.” Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser, acknowledged that the text of the side deal

between the IAEA and Iran over past military activity wouldn’t be given to Congress. “These documents are not public,” Rice said, adding that the U.S. was satisfied with the agreement and would brief Congress about its contents. “There is nothing in that regard that we know that they won’t know.” Separately, the administration sought to blunt allegations from Republicans that U.S.
negotiators had merely made concession after concession in final talks that followed the announcement of a general framework this spring in Lausanne, Switzerland. In a written statement, State Department spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. and the other nations involved in the talks had won agreements from Iran as part of the final deal involving “weaponization, metallurgy, and enrichment-related issues.”

Britain’s opposition Labour Party in crisis JILL L AWLESS Associated Press
LONDON - Britain’s Labour Party lost the election. Now it is losing its way, careening into a crisis that could rip apart a party that governed for long stretches of the 20th century. Labour is seeking a new leader to help it regain voters’ trust, and an old-school socialist lawmaker who has never held government office has gone from longshot to apparent contenderto the horror of party chiefs and the delight of political opponents.
The strongly antiausterity Jeremy Corbyn has risen to second-favourite among four candidates in bookmakers’ odds, behind more centrist legislator Andy Burnham, as he wins over a growing number of disillusioned Labour members. Labour lost power in 2010, and was trounced by the Conservatives on May 7 in an election polls had predicted would be close. Voters handed Prime Minister David Cameron’s party another five-year term, convinced by its argu-
ment that spending cuts were needed to reduce a huge deficit created by Labour’s economic mismanagement. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who led Labour to three consecutive election victories, made a rare return to British politics Wednesday to warn his old party that Labour needs to “win from the centre.” He said adopting an “old-fashioned leftist platform” of tax-andspend policies would alienate voters just as it did during the 1980s, when Labour floun-
dered as Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher moved Britain’s economy to the right. Blair, who left office in 2007, told the party to “move on - but for heaven’s sake don’t move back.” All parties go through soul-searching after losing an election, but Labour’s crisis is more profound. At the heart of the problem is an unresolved identity crisis. Labour was built as the party of the industrial working class, then transformed by Blair

Wednesday. For Labour supporters who want the party return to its traditional values, Corbyn has a “grandma and apple pie” appeal, said Victoria Honeyman, a politics lecturer at the University of Leeds. But most Labour leaders agree with Blair that voters have become economically more conservative and must be persuaded they can trust Labour to balance the books. Like Donald Trump in the U.S. Republican presidential race, Corbyn exposes a split between some grassroots members who love his outsider status and party chiefs who consider him electoral poison, with outmoded economic ideas and an embarrassing past attending meetings with members of the IRA and Hezbollah. Some Labour lawmakers have said they will try to oust Corbyn immediately if he wins the leadership ballot,
the result of which will be announced Sept. 12. If that fails, Bale said, “then the party would split.” That looks unlikely, but Labour is in a fractious mood and party discipline is cracking. Almost a quarter of Labour lawmakers rebelled this week and voted against the government’s planned welfare cuts, despite an order from interim leader Harriet Harman to abstain. Labour’s opponents are relishing Corbyn’s surge. The conservative Daily Telegraph newspaper is urging readers to join Labour - it only costs 3 pounds ($4.70) and vote for “bearded voter-repellent” Corbyn in order to destroy the party. Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London, predicted most Labour members “will let their heads rule their hearts” and choose another candidate.

and his “New Labour” colleagues to embrace private investment, personal wealth and the financial sector. Blair’s approach gave Labour 13 years in power between 1997 and 2010. But many members believe the party has abandoned its principles. And many have not forgiven Blair for taking Britain into the U.S.-led Iraq war. The contenders to replace departed leader Ed Miliband are three lawmakers in their 40s from the New Labour generation - Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall - and 66-yearold “Old Labour” stalwart Corbyn. Corbyn accuses his rivals of offering “austerity light” and providing no alternative to Conservative spending cuts. He argues for more public investment in infrastructure and higher taxes for corporations and the rich. “I think we need a different economic agenda,” he said
