Grizzly shot in Summer Sub home

Niki and Mark Traverse wake up at 4:30 a.m. find grizzly eating dog food C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

In what Conservation Officer Jared Connatty says should be a wake up call to everyone, a grizzly bear was shot in a Summer Sub home (just on the edges of Kimberley, above Meadowbrook Motors) early Sunday morning.

Mark and Niki Traverse were awoken at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday to noises in their kitchen and found a grizzly boar eating dog food.

“We have an air conditioner in the bedroom and it drowns out any sound,” said Niki Traverse. “But our dog was going nuts. He’s just a little dog, about 20 pounds, but he was outside the bedroom door barking the house down.

“I got up to check. Mark stayed in bed. He just said, don’t let the dog out, because there are coyotes.

“I came around the corner to the entry way where we have the cat and dog food. I see this huge black mass. I booked it back to the bedroom screaming, ‘there’s a bear in the house!’ Mark’s like, ‘really?’. ‘Yeah, really.’

“We have a gun cabinet in the bedroom, so Mark unlocked the gun.

As the summer rolls on, most people are thinking camping, the beach, and just getting away. However, Kimberley City Council continues to meet.

Their next meeting is tonight, August 10 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers, upstairs at City Hall.

On the agenda tonight is a visit from Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery, who will deliver an update on JulyFest.

Other than that, it is a fairly short agenda, but Council has received some correspondence which could provoke some interesting discussion.

Council has received two letters questioning their granting of a business license in Marysville for a coffee shop constructed of C Cans.

How would Cranbrook fare against an atomic bomb?

Arne Petryshen

Seventy years ago, on Aug. 6, the first atomic bomb was dropped from a B-29 Superfortress over Hiroshima, then three days later on Aug. 9, a second was dropped on Nagasaki.

The destruction was unprecedented and difficult to imagine, so let’s try to put in it perspective: What if an atomic bomb was dropped on Cranbrook?

First a little history: At 8:15 a.m. on Aug. 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb ever dropped on a city, Little Boy, exited the bomb doors of the Enola Gay and fell for 44 seconds before detonating 580 meters above the city. The destructive power was unlike anything that had come before, levelling the city and killing 70,000 to 80,000 people — 30 per cent of the population of Hiroshima — in the initial blast and resultant firestorm. Another 70,000 were injured.

Onlookers reported seeing a brilliant flash followed by a loud boom.

The U.S. estimated that 12 square kilometres of the city was destroyed.

However despite the colossal damage, Ja-

Over 70 years ago, atomic weapons were first detonated over the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. pan’s war council refused to surrender, except under a number of conditions. Japan also presumed that the U.S. would not have more nuclear bombs ready to drop.

The U.S moved forward on a second planned bombing.

On Aug. 9, Bockscar dropped the bomb

nicknamed Fat Man on Nagasaki at 11:01 a.m.

Clouds and coal smoke obscured the initial target of Kokura, further east. It exploded 503 meters over the city and generated temperatures of 3,900 degrees Celsius and 1000 km/h winds.

On Aug. 15, the Empire of Japan announced its surrender. The em-

peror Hirohito noted the effect the bomb had had on his decision: “Moreover, the enemy now possesses a new and terrible weapon with the power to destroy many innocent lives and do incalculable damage. Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse

and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization.”

And so finally, what kind of destruction would Little Boy cause if dropped on Cranbrook?

Thanks to an app on Public Radio International’s website, finding that out is possible.

With the target on Rotary Park, the bomb detonates over the city.

Within a half of a mile 90 per cent of people are killed by heavy fire and blast. As well as the destruction of city hall and the entire downtown, the Cranbrook History Centre and Western Financial Place would also fall

into this radius. The Cranbrook Daily Townsman building would also be obliterated.

Further out, at a one mile radius, 70 per cent of people are killed by heavy fire and blast. Everything up to this distance is completely destroyed by heavy fire from the explosion at ground zero. That destruction would scorch half of the Cranbrook Golf Club as well as all the neighbourhoods from Slaterville to 27th Avenue South. And half of the industrial park down to 14th Street South.

Within three miles buildings would be heavily destroyed by fire that spreads from ground zero. That’s the entire City of Cranbrook.

Buildings in Fort Steele, Mayook and Lumberton are safe but windows might be broken, within the 12 mile radius.

Of course, all of this is simply speculation.

For a sobering account of what it was like to survive the first bomb read John Hersey’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel Hiroshima.

Pratt updates RDEK on Idlewild Park Whooping cough on the increase

Tre vor Cr awley

There has been a lot of concern about the state of Idlewild Park following the decision by the City of Cranbrook to draw the water levels down.

Earlier in the spring, after a report identified structural deficiencies with the dam, the city chose to draw down the water levels to prevent a possible breach.

At Friday’s RDEK board meeting, Cranbrook mayor Lee Pratt gave an update on the situation to fellow directors, and admitted that the process hasn’t gone as fast as the city had hoped.

“The drawdown is going a little slower than we anticipated,” said Pratt. “We’ve had a few issues, some with the equipment of the dam itself and the valving, and we got that fixed.

“Then, of course, dealing with the ministries on the fisheries and environment and so we’ve had some issues

The water levels at Idlewild Lake has been decreasing as part of a drawdown to mitigate fears of a dam failure. there that we didn’t anticipate but we’re working on them and moving forward.

“We feel that even though it’s taken a little longer than anticipated, we’re progressing well and once we get to the point where we want to be, we’ll start getting

going on the design and the rebuilding of the facility.”

Pratt adds that once the city is at that stage, there will be opportunities for public consultation and service organizations to get involved with the planning.

“We’ve already had a

survey done with a great turnout of answers on it, so we’ll be putting all that together for when we get the design and the planning and what the end is going to look like,” Pratt said.

“From the city’s standpoint, we want to do it right, we want to

make it bigger and better than what it was and also look at it as being a great community building project.”

Pratt added that the city has applied for a federal gas tax grant to help with the infrastructure costs of the project.

Interior Health is seeing an increase in pertussis cases, also known as whooping cough, and would like to remind parents about the importance of making sure their children’s immunizations are up to date. Pertussis activity is being seen across the region with the majority of cases currently in the Central Okanagan.

“Infants under one year of age are most at risk for serious complications from pertussis,” said Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, Medical Health Officer with Interior Health. “Pertussis starts with similar symptoms to a common cold (runny nose, sore throat, and mild fever) and then progresses to a cough. The cough can become severe, with or without a classic whooping sound and may be accompanied by gasping, gagging, shortness of breathing and vomiting.

In serious cases it can lead to pneumonia, seizures, brain damage or even death.”

Immunization is the best way to prevent the spread of this disease. The pertussis vaccine is part of the routine childhood vaccinations that are given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 18 months old, and again at age 4 to 6 years (before Kindergarten). A pertussis vaccine is also given to teens at 14 to 16 years of age (Grade 9) in British Columbia.

“We are strongly advising all parents to ensure their children are immunized so they are not at risk,” adds Dr. Golmohammadi. “The pertussis vaccine is very safe and effective in preventing the spread of this disease.”

Parents are advised to check their child’s immunization record and make sure they are up to date.

Information about accessing immunization records can be found at ImmunizeBC.

Grizzly shot in Summer Sub kitchen From Page 1 “He came out and turned on the kitchen light. As soon as he turned on the lights the bear came out into the kitchen, straight toward my husband.

“Thank God I didn’t turn on the light when I checked, that would have been bad.

“The bear was ten feet away and Mark took a shot. He came another three to four feet and Mark took another shot.

It was down but still moving. We didn’t want it moving, so Mark took another shot.”

Niki sums the experience up this way.

“It was pretty damn scary. I was freaking out, but my husband is a hunter. We’re the only

house on the block with a gun (a Weatherby 300). I guess the bear picked the wrong house.”

Connatty says the bear pulled apart the window and got through about a three foot by two foot space. The bear also broke the screen door, but its access to the house was through the window.

“The family woke up, heard a noise and found the bear feeding on dog food. Fortunately they had a firearm in the bedroom and shot the bear right in the kitchen.

“It’s a pretty remarkable story because that bear was obviously in the house for some time.

They were pretty lucky.

An encounter with a

Council tonight From Page 1 The letters question the need for another drive-through coffee business right across the street from one which is just about to open.

There is also concern about what it might look like.

Council will also receive the building permit report. Mayor Don McCormick has been vocal about how pleased he is to see so much building activity in Kimberley after a couple of slow years.

While it is nowhere near the boom days of 10 years ago, 2015 has been a good year. 114 building permits were issued from January to July of 2015, compared to 92 in all of 2014 and 79 in 2013. The value of the building permits so far is $58,603.20 reflecting a construction value of $6,322,500.

Construction values for the whole year in 2014 were $3,639,180.

The Kimberley Fire Department is requesting that Council give them the authority to deploy initial attack wildfire apparatus outside of municipal limits.

With the authority granted, the process for deploying out of the boundaries will be streamlined.

With the busy fire season, firefighting re-

For a bear to get to the point of breaking into a house, it’s been rewarded for this behaviour before, the CO says.

“These people were managing their attractants, but obviously at some point someone wasn’t, and this bear learned from it.”

“We did one thing wrong,” Niki said. “I left a window open. I’ve lived in this house since 1991 and we always leave a window open

throughout the province, and the Kimberley Fire Department could be asked to respond at any time, as they already have once this summer.

The province reimburses most expenses when a municipal fire department responds outside of their boundaries.

Council will also be asked to endorse the signing of the Resort Municipality funding through 2017 in order to access funds from that program.

Mayor Don McCormick has been lobbying other resort municipalities for a changed funding formula going forward after 2017, but in the meantime Kimberley will continue to access these funds for capital tourism infrastructure projects. Council has yet to decide what the projects for 2016 and 2017 will be.

If you have any questions arising from this Council meeting or any other City actions, this is a good opportunity to ask them. The lunch begins at noon in Council chambers.

when it’s hot. Not anymore. I’ll never do that again.”

Connatty says the bear was not in great shape.

“He was definitely on a downward slide. It could be he’d been pushed out of his territory by another big grizzly boar, but it could also be the bear was hungry because it’s a very poor berry year. You could speculate until you’re blue in the face.”

“It wasn’t in great shape,” Niki said. “The CO said by the size of its teeth, he figured it was at least ten years old.

But it was skinny and I thought a ten-year old grizzly would be bigger than that.

This is a good re-

minder to everyone, that especially with berries poor this year because of the drought, attractants have to be managed carefully from now right through to November.

“That means garbage, fruit trees, dog food,” Connatty said. “In town the fruit trees seem to be doing well, but in the upper drainages the berries are not so good.”

Opinion/Events

Letters to the Editor Harper’s claims On August 9, Stephen Harper made an astonishing campaign announcement. First, he proposed new legislation that would make it illegal for Canadians to travel to a number of “terrorist” areas internationally. Second, he made a sweeping claim that every provincial NDP government in Canada has been “a disaster”. These claims are important enough that we should consider them carefully.

The new anti-terror legislation is unnecessary because it is repetitive. There is already legislation prohibiting Canadians from travelling abroad to participate in a number of named terrorist-designated organizations and initiatives. I leave it to others to explore its effectiveness.

On the matter of the slur against every provincial NDP government that has ever been elected in Canada, some correctives are in order. Does he refer to Tony Penikett’s terms in Yukon, where, among a number of notable accomplishments, Penikett successfully initiated the Yukon Final Agreement with Yukon’s fourteen First Nations, setting a model that southern Canada has yet to follow?

Does he mean the B.C. record, which includes public insurance in the form of ICBC; increasing the land for provincial parks; creating the Labour Relations Board; instituting

democratic measures in the legislature – including Question Period -- and the ALR legislation to protect B.C.’s agricultural land which has been continued by every government of every political stripe subsequently?

He must include the long history of the NDP in Manitoba, where the people of that province have often returned the party to office precisely because of its ability to handle chronic difficult economic conditions effectively. He must mean the Nova Scotia government of Derrell Dexter, which had to assume financial “disasters” left by the Progressive Conservatives.

His slur includes the governments of Tommy Douglas, Alan Blakeney, Roy Romanow, and Lorne Calvert in Saskatchewan, which produced an enviable and perhaps never matched record of balanced budgets and groundbreaking legislation including the first medicare legislation in Canada.

The social consensus on the NDP initiatives was so strong that even Premier Brad Wall, the proto-Conservative flying under the Saskatchewan Party banner, has not touched the Crown corporations that protect Saskatchewan peoples’ interests in insurance, power, telecommunications, and so on. And he assuredly means Alberta’s Rachel Notley, who has already endured Harper’s premature attack as a “disas-

ter” yet has not been in office long enough to present her first budget.

If Harper can’t campaign on his record, then he should at least hew a little closer to the truth in attacking his opponents – and he should stop trying to run against provincial premiers who, after all, are not even candidates in this election.

Road rage My wife and I had been traveling in our 24 foot motor home and entered Cranbrook about 8 p.m. on Thursday, August 6. We drove from our home in Southern California to Alaska, then south through Canada, on the Canada Highway, more than 5,000 total miles without incident. Along the way we encountered many Canadians, all of whom were friendly, witty and most helpful to us. It’s been a great experience.

We entered Cranbrook looking for an RV Park at the south end of the City and slowly made our way down Cranbrook Street, with almost no traffic, listening to our GPS giving directions to the park. As sometimes happens with a GPS, a direction is given, but the situation for the driver, without confirming with street signs, can lead to temporary confusion. This was exactly our situation, and I made a sudden left turn, apparently, cutting off

a driver behind me. I spend a lot of my driving time checking my rear view mirrors, this time I didn’t. Fortunately, since there was little traffic, no real harm was done. The other driver, however, was irate. If he happens to read this, I was wrong and apologize. He proceeded to honk his horn, appropriately, but then flash me the well known one finger salute as he passed. As fate would have it, we met again at another intersection moments later, coming from different directions, with me turning left and him turning right. He, again, angrily repeated his one finger salute.

This incident of road rage, will in no way change my feelings toward Canada or any of the wonderful Canadian people we’ve encountered. It did, however, remind me, since we live in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area, where many thousands of tourists visit yearly, many from Canada, that sometimes situations arise that require a little patience and tolerance from the locals toward visitors, who may not be familiar with the area.

I hope that the other driver, in our situation, never has a moment of indecision, wherein he makes a mistake, but if he does, I hope the offended driver treats him with more courtesy.

Leaders battle over jobs, pipelines, fighter jets Tom Fletcher Black Press

Federal party leaders squared off in their first TV debate Thursday, a mostly polite two-hour exchange of views on the economy, environment and military action overseas.

The environment segment was most focused on B.C., where Prime Minister Stephen Harper was pressed on stalled pipeline proposals to the west and east coasts as well as to the U.S. Harper said low world prices for energy make it the only sector that is under-performing, while the rest of the economy is growing.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May urged NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to oppose the twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to its Burnaby terminal.

Mulcair stuck to his position that he will await a federal environmental review.

Harper noted that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has opposed capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investors, weakening the case for new gas pipelines.

He said his government approved the Northern Gateway pipeline proposed to run to Kitimat with more than 200 conditions, because “that’s how the system works.”

Trudeau and Harper sparred over greenhouse gas emission efforts, with

Federal party leaders battled on Thursday evening in the first TV debate of the election.

Harper noting he moved ahead on curbing coal power plant emissions three years before U.S. President Barack Obama.

Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to southern U.S. refineries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave office next year.

May said Harper is nowhere near meeting his own commitment to curb emissions, as forest fires rage and extreme weather increases all year around.

The debate moderator, Maclean’s magazine columnist Paul Wells, asked Harper if he owes Canadians an apology for appointing since-suspended senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau.

Harper did not apologize, saying the provinces need a consensus to reform the senate through elections as he proposed, or to abolish it.

Mulcair and Trudeau oppose the current bombing missions against Islamic State terrorist targets in Syria and Iraq.

Mulcair said he would support military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada’s NATO commitments.

Harper said the deployment of six fighter jets with special forces support is what Canada’s allies want to do, and Islamic State is a “nerve centre” for a global movement that has targeted Canada specifically.

again, without once veering anywhere near actual policy. And candidate Mike Huckabee, while railing against transgender people, managed to inform us that the role of the military is “to kill people and break things”. Thanks Mike. Did not know that. And candidate Scott Walker said he doesn’t support abortion even if a woman’s life is at risk. The logic behind that is worth a study. In fact the only conclusion I managed to draw from the Republican debate is that the Democrats could likely run a trained chimp against whoever wins the Republican nomination, and still have a very good chance of capturing the White House. At least the chimp would be less likely to say something stupid.

He carried most left-leaning Americans through the Iraq war with his brilliant Mess-O-Potamia segments. His last message to viewers last Thursday, was to keep sniffing for BS. With election campaigns in both Canada and the United States, the BS won’t be hard to find.

Blue Jays win eighth straight; sweep Yankees Mike Fitzpatrick Associated Press

NEW YORK - Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista each hit a long home run, and the Toronto Blue Jays earned their eighth straight victory by beating the New York Yankees 2-0 Sunday to complete a threegame sweep that tightened the AL East race.

Marco Estrada tossed three-hit ball into the seventh inning against the suddenly slumping Yankees, outpitching Masahiro Tanaka during Toronto’s second consecutive shutout.

In a series that featured the top two offences in the majors, New York mustered only one run and went scoreless

over the final 26 innings.

Not since 1999 had the Yankees been blanked in two straight games.

With their 11th win in 12 games, the streaking Blue Jays pulled within 1 1/2 games of the firstplace Yankees. It was the first time since May 2003 that Toronto swept New York in a series of at least three games.

On an agitating afternoon for the Yankees, Brett Gardner slammed down his helmet with two hands after grounding out with a runner on second to end the third.

The next inning, he was hit in the back by Bautista’s home run ball when a fan in the leftfield stands threw it back onto the field.

Estrada (10-6) kept

New York’s dangerous lineup off balance all day, masterfully mixing his 77 mph changeup with a 90 mph fastball and slow curve. He gave up three singles and three walks, striking out six.

The right-hander was lifted after 89 pitches with two on in the seventh. LaTroy Hawkins got out of the inning, Aaron Sanchez pitched a hitless eighth and Roberto Osuna worked a perfect ninth for his 10th save.

Donaldson homered into the Yankees’ bullpen in right-centre on the seventh pitch from Tanaka (8-5), who yielded three hits in six innings. The right-hander was relieved after 80

pitches.

Bautista connected in the fourth, launching a mammoth drive that struck the facing of the second deck in left field.

Donaldson also went deep in the first inning Friday night, when Bautista’s homer in the 10th sent Toronto to a 2-1 victory in the series opener.

Western Hockey League

Auston Matthews headed for Zurich to play out NHL draft year

Auston Matthews is taking his talents to Switzerland, an unprecedented move for the projected top pick in the 2016 NHL draft.

Matthews signed a one-year deal with the ZSC Lions in the Swiss National League A, foregoing a junior season with the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League to play professionally as an 18-year-old.

The American centre going overseas in his draft year is more likely an anomaly than a trend setter, but the Zurich-based club will take it.

“He is something special,” general manager Edgar Salis said by phone from Switzerland on Friday. “He has good speed, good skill - the whole package. We have good players, and with his hockey IQ I think he can feed our guys and fit the team. He brings everything. That was why we jumped on him.”

At six-foot-two and 194 pounds, Matthews is the runaway favourite to go first in the next draft and would have likely been a top-two or three pick this year had

he not missed the cut for 2015 by three days. The Scottsdale, Ariz., native led the U.S. National Team Development Program’s under-18 squad with 48 points (20 goals, 28 assists) this past season.

Matthews had been linked to the ZSC Lions for months. Salis said someone from CAA Sports, which represents

Matthews, contacted him in the spring expressing interest.

Salis and team officials watched Matthews put up 15 points in seven games to lead the U.S. to gold at the IIHF under-18 world championships in Zug, Switzerland, in April. The initial surprise about Matthews wanting to play in Europe faded at that point.

“Not every day you get a possibility to sign a 17-year-old,” Salis said.

“After we saw him in Zug, we didn’t care about the age at the end.”

Work permit red tape held up the signing,

with the final resolution being that Matthews can begin living in Switzerland and playing on Sept. 18, the day after he turns 18 years old.

“I think there was a regular process because he was so young and it’s a new situation,” Salis said. “But I really believed that everybody

who was involved, we managed it and we had patience and at the end we are happy with the result.”

Had Matthews stayed in North America, he was set to play for Everett, which owns his Canadian Hockey League rights. In a statement released by CAA Sports, Matthews said Silvertips coach Kevin Constantine and Garry Davidson “have been nothing but absolute class acts throughout this entire process.”

“I am deeply grateful to the ZSC Lions for the opportunity to be a part of their wonderful orga-

Yankees scheduled to play 16 days in a row beginning Tuesday, manager Joe Girardi confirmed the club probably will plug in a spot starter at some point to give the rotation extra rest. He said right now he expects it to be someone currently on the staff, making RHP Bryan Mitchell and perhaps Warren the most likely candidates.

NEW ADDITION Toronto optioned reserve infielder Munenori Kawasaki to Triple-A Buffalo to open a roster spot for utility infielder Cliff Pennington, acquired Saturday in a trade with Arizona. Pennington made his Blue Jays debut and struck out as a pinch hitter

with the bases loaded for the second out in the seventh. He stayed in to play second base.

UP NEXT Blue Jays: RHP Drew Hutchison (10-2, 5.42 ERA) starts Tuesday night at home against Oakland rookie Kendall Graveman (6-7, 3.90), one of four players Toronto traded to the Athletics for Donaldson last November.

Yankees: Top prospect Luis Severino makes his second major league start Tuesday night in Cleveland against RHP Carlos Carrasco (11-8).

The 21-year-old Severino threw five impressive innings Wednesday in a 2-1 loss to Boston.

home run against Tanaka, sat out because of a tender finger on his left hand. Encarnacion’s middle finger has been bothering him for a while, and he aggravated it on a swing Saturday. The team hopes Encarnacion will feel better after the off day Monday, manager John Gibbons said. The slugger has reached base safely in 16 consecutive games. ... DH Chris Colabello writhed on the ground for a frightening moment after getting hit by a high fastball from Adam Warren in the seventh. But replays showed the pitch mostly caught Colabello’s elbow guard, and he remained in the game.

Yankees: With the

nization and look forward to joining them next month,” Matthews said in the statement.

Matthews is expected to speak to reporters about his decision after a U.S. under-20 exhibition game Saturday in Lake Placid, N.Y. From the Lions’ standpoint, getting Matthews made all the sense in the world. Salis hopes it’s a mutually beneficial season.

“He can help us, and we can help him with our program to develop and help him for his next step,” Salis said. “I think the league we are in here and the speed and everything, it’s pretty good.

I think it’s really good.

We’ve got a good coach and a good group.”

That coach is Marc Crawford, who won the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 1996 and led Zurich to the Swiss league title in 2014.

Salis believes Crawford is a big reason why Matthews decided to sign.

“Knowing that he coached in the NHL with success and he’s doing really well with us and we had success the last couple of years, that helps, for sure,” Salis said.

Doug Ferguson Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio - With no mistakes and two great escapes from the trees, Shane Lowry of Ireland introduced himself on a world stage Sunday by winning the Bridgestone Invitational.

He locked up victory in this World Golf Championship with a shot through the trees from left of the 18th fairway that descended over a bunker and settled just over 10 feet away for one final birdie and a 4-under 66.

“I was trying to get it to the front right of the green, but I pulled it a little bit,” Lowry said.

“Obviously, it went through the tree, and the rest is history. I couldn’t believe I was seeing the ball coming down from there, coming down on the green.”

He won by two shots over Bubba Watson, who also shot 66.

Lowry won the Irish Open as an amateur in 2009, and picked up his first European Tour victory in 2012 in Portugal.

In a final round at Firestone against a trio of major champions, Lowry produced a flawless card of no bogeys and plenty of emotional fist pumps to celebrate the biggest win of his career. He is the first non-PGA Tour member to win a WGC since

Martin Kaymer at the 2011 HSBC Champions.

“I can’t believe it,” Lowry said. “I’ve played well most of the year, but these last four days are very special.”

Jim Furyk and Justin Rose, who shared the 54-hole lead, couldn’t keep up. Both closed with a 72 to tie for third, four shots behind.

Lowry had a oneshot lead when Furyk made his second bogey on the front nine, but the 28-year-old Irishman appeared to be in trouble with a wild hook off the 10th tee. Instead, he powered a wedge as high as he could, over a tree and listened for the gallery’s roar to hear the results. It plopped down and rolled to within tapin range for a birdie that gave him control, and he never let up.

Just as important as his birdies were two pars on the back nine when he was trying to steady his nerves.

Lowry found a deep bunker left of the 14th fairway, came up short of the green and faced an 18-foot par putt that he buried to stay two shots ahead. Watson was up to his old theatrics with a shot out of the trees to 6 feet for birdie on the 17th to get within one shot.

Lowry, playing two groups behind, pulled his approach on the 17th and faced a tough chip from behind the green

and he could only get within 6 feet. He holed that for another big par to keep his cushion.

“I was just trying to make two pars coming in after I saw Bubba make his birdie on 17,” Lowry said. “The upand-down on 17 was probably the biggest upand-down of the week considering the circumstances.”

The finish was a bonus and meant he could celebrate early, for it gave Lowry a threeshot margin over Furyk and Rose, the only players still on the course.

Graeme McDowell, his friend, waited around to congratulate him outside the scoring area.

Lowry had qualified eight previous times for the WGCs, and he famously took out Rory McIlroy in the first round of the Match Play in 2013. Furyk played with him Saturday and liked what he saw.

“What I had been told a couple years ago was that he had a beautiful short game, kind of a scrappy player,” Furyk said Saturday. “I don’t think that did it justice. I thought he hit the ball pretty well. I liked his game.”

Lowry finished at 11under 269 and earned $1.57 million, along with a PGA Tour card for the next three years. He had been a special temporary member.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to tone down your approach so that you receive more of what you want.

Others no longer seem as responsive as they had been. Actions and good planning make all the difference. Be willing to demonstrate the power of your ideas. Tonight: Head home early.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have the ability to get past a problem that others don’t see.

Be as direct as possible with a family member, especially if you feel that his or her idea is out of whack. Be more direct and caring. An idea that seems unattainable really isn’t. Give it time. Tonight: Happy at home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be more direct when dealing with a loved one. You might see a situation from a more materialistic and demanding point of view than he or she does. Financial matters need to be kept in perspective. If you want to succeed, know when to say “no.”

Tonight: Look at the budget.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will want to see a situation differently from how it is in reality. Honor a fast change of pace, but understand that you might be on the path of escapism.

Avoid making any decisions at the present moment. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Jupiter, the planet of luck, spends its last 24 hours in your sign. Take advantage of what happens. If a certain matter appears to be out of control, know that the time has come to get it under control. How you do that depends on the situation.

Tonight: Go for what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be taken aback by what comes up. A friend means well, yet he or she could create a certain amount of confusion.

Be realistic about what is possible, but be willing to revisit this situation in a few days or weeks. Tonight: Meet up with a close friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Take a risk today instead of postponing it. Timing is with you. Pace yourself, but complete as much as you possibly can right now. Refuse to let a backand-forth issue dominate your day; put it out of your mind. Do what you must. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your imagination seems to awaken. Try to direct this energy toward a matter involving travel, a legal matter or a need to educate yourself on a particular topic. You could be taken aback by a problem that emerges.

Know that the answer lies within. Tonight: All smiles.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deferring to others allows more give-and-take. Reach out for someone who might be intimidated by you. You likely will want to avoid a boss who has been demanding a lot from you.

You also might not be in the mood to hear his or her opinions. Tonight: Opt for closeness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in a situation where you don’t have your cus-

tomary control. As a result, you might be feeling as if there is little you can do. Allow others to take the reins, and become more of an observer. Be more forthright in your dealings. Tonight: Play it cool.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be more on top of a personal matter than you realize. You might be somewhat exhausted from trying to touch base with a friend or loved one.

Listen to the feedback you are getting, especially from someone close to you. Tonight: Allow your creativity flourish.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Allow more creativity to emerge. You often have many ideas, but you usually do not discuss them. Trust those around you to be open-minded and receptive of your thoughts.

Consider your options with greater care. Tonight: Allow yourself to enjoy the moment.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My cousin is getting married soon and another cousin’s girlfriend was invited. They have been dating for years, and I really like her.

The problem is, my boyfriend was not invited, even though we, too, have been dating for years. A lot of that was long distance, so many of my family members have not yet met him.

When I received my wedding invitation, it was addressed only to me.

I was wondering whether it would be rude to ask my cousin whether I could bring my boyfriend. I don’t want to create any problems, but this would be the first family event that my boyfriend could attend and I’d like everyone to meet him.

If he cannot attend, I will still go and make sure my cousin’s special day is perfect. -- Don’t Want to Cause Tension Dear Don’t: We commend you for being understanding. It is generally expected that both parties of an established couple are invited, but we double-checked with Lizzie Post of the Emily Post Institute, who said it is not proper for you to ask. Your cousin apparently didn’t know that your relationship was steady and ongoing and the couple may not have felt obligated to include someone they didn’t know. They also may not have room.

We think it would be a good idea if you found a way to introduce your boyfriend to your cousin before the wedding.

Perhaps the two of you could take the bridal couple out to dinner to celebrate.

You might also consider having a small party to introduce him to your relatives so they have an opportunity to get to know him.

Dear Annie: My sister does not have her own email address or Facebook page. Everything is in her husband’s name. That means he sees everything I send to her.

There are times when I would like to send stuff to my sister in private. I’m not asking her to hide anything important from her husband, but I don’t see the point of him being able to read everything I send. Sometimes there are personal things between sisters that I’d prefer she not share, although if she chooses to, that would be her choice. It wouldn’t be because he is reading them anyway. Knowing that he is looking at everything I send changes the way I write to her and makes it less sisterly.

I don’t understand why she refuses to create her own accounts. It’s not that difficult. What’s up with this? -Annoyed Sis Dear Annoyed: Have you asked your sister directly why her accounts are in her husband’s name? Perhaps it was a mutual decision allowing both of them to have access to each other’s communications and social media posts. This is sometimes a trust issue and not your business. Or maybe she can’t be bothered to set up her own, in which case, you can offer to do it for her.

We understand that this annoys you, but it’s not your decision. If you need to say something to your sister that you’d prefer her husband not be privy to, we recommend the old-fashioned way: Pick up the telephone or meet her for coffee. Those types of personal communication are still quite effective.

What started as a fun project for two techies on Vancouver Island more than 25 years ago has now become an industry leader in robotic crawlers.

Inuktun Services Ltd.’s remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, have combed through the radioactive wreckage of a tsunami-hit nuclear plant in Japan, assisted in search and rescue efforts after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, and are being used by the U.S. military.

But despite its international success, the Nanaimo, B.C.-based company remains little known at home.

That’s largely because most of its products are sold outside of Canada, said company CEO Colin Dobell.

“We’re not really well-known locally and that’s OK,” he said in a phone interview from the company’s head office.

investigation in U.S.-Mexico borders and also overseas in the Middle East.”

But Dobell said the most compelling stuff is top secret. The company is kept quiet by big-name clients that don’t want the public to know what they’re using the technology for.

When Inuktun began in B.C. in 1989, its owners had no idea they would be signing non-disclosure agreements with some of the world’s most prominent organizations.

Dobell said that part materialized “largely by accident,” after Inuktun’s co-founders Terry Knight and Al Robinson - both now retired - started the company “as kind of a fun project to take them into retirement.”

“When they started they were building these little swimming ROVs,” he said.

“The idea being you would sit on your boat, throw it over the edge and watch the crabs or chase fish or pick up the keys you dropped.”

Dobell, who came on board in 1996, said the product was too expensive for a recreational market, but got the attention of the nuclear industry, and spawned the creation of different robotic systems to meet customer demand over the years.
