Drought rating raised for Kootenays ARNE PETRYSHEN
Late last week, the province announced a Level 3 drought rating for the Kootenays and Lower Columbia regions. With weather conditions expected to remain warm and dry, water users in the Lower Columbia, West Kootenay and East Kootenay regions are being urged to reduce water consumption. Level 3 drought conditions call for voluntary water-use reductions of an additional 20 per cent beyond Level 2 conservation levels (30 per cent overall) from all municipal, agricultural and industrial users. Staff with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations anticipate that this region could experience significant water supply shortages in 2015.

Enforcement of campfire ban an issue at Koocanusa
RDEK Director looks for ways to compel out of province offenders to pay fines TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Adhering to campfire bans and confrontation between provincial authorities and campers came up at the Regional District of East Kootenay
board meeting on Friday. Area B director Stan Doehle reported situations where Natural Resource Officers (NRO’s) and conservation officers were dealing with tense situations as campers in the Koocanusa region have been lighting campfires without any regard for consequences. Even if authorities issue a fine, there’s no way to compel out-ofprovince campers to pay it, Doehle added. See FIRE, page 4

Sunrise Rotary scholarships offered for local students Students can apply for the scholarships if they are taking advanced post-secondary studies Cr anbrook Sunrise Rotary Club
As fall draws nigh, the time for local post-secondary students to apply for available scholarships draws closer. The scholarships that are sponsored by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club are only available for students, who are already enrolled in post-secondary studies and need additional funds to continue their education. Applications are due September 1, 2015 with four scholarships available from $1,000 to $1,500 each. Students interested in submitting an application can find an application package on the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary webpage at: http://portal.clubrunner.ca/926 or they can get further information by phoning club member Alex McLeod at 250-489-5254. Completed applications can be sent by letter post to: Scholarship Committee, Rotary Club of Cranbrook, Box 765, Cranbrook, B.C., V1C 4J5 or they can be emailed to: alex@silenus.ca and they will be processed from there. The club usually receives around 40 appli-
cations for the scholarships each year. At least one of the scholarships is awarded to an arts or performing arts student and the recipients must be enrolled in the third, fourth or fifth year of an undergraduate program in a recognized post-secondary institution. All recipients must have graduated from Mt. Baker Secondary School or a Cranbrook area private or home school. Criteria for the scholarships are equally weighed on: academic merit, financial need and community service. Applicants must submit marks from their most recent two years of post-secondary education. “Sunrise Rotary has offered the unique scholarship program since 1998 and it’s aimed at students in the latter part of their post-secondary studies for a reason,” says McLeod. Most scholarships are offered to students entering university for the first time or early in their post-secondary studies. Their program recognizes that students need money for every
year of their studies and funds can be harder to get in their later study years,” he says. Funding for the scholarships comes from Sunrise Rotary’s highly popular Rockies Film Festival, which runs every spring and was almost completely sold out this year. “We are very thankful for the support the community shows for the film festival as it allows us to continue to fund these important programs,” McLeod says. He adds it’s a challenge to get the information out to potential college applicants as not all Cranbrook post-secondary students return to town every summer. They are hoping that people will assist in getting the word out to any students who qualify and would benefit from the scholarships.” Those students who qualify for the type of scholarships offered by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club are encouraged to avail themselves of this opportunity and submit their application as soon as possible. The Club looks forward to hearing from you.

John ‘Mauk’ MacKenzie; baseball man ANTHONY DR ANSFELD For the Bulletin
250 friends of John MacKenzie came to the Elks Hall in Kimberley two weeks ago to say goodbye to John, who passed away on July 19th. John “Mauk “ MacKenzie was 83. A MOMENT IN TIME First and foremost John was a “baseball man,” falling in love with the game in the autumn of 1941. Young John, who was 9 at the time, had a paper route up in Town site. Just about every house that subscribed to the “ Kimberley News “ had their radios tuned in to the 1941 World Series, Brooklyn Dodgers versus the New York Yankees. John mentioned to me that everyone had their windows open (it was a warm night in Kimberley). Young MacKenzie was able to listen to virtually the whole game on his paper route. The Dodgers became his team right then and there, a love affair was to last for 74 years (By the way the Yankees took down the Dodgers in five close games) How much did John MacKenzie love baseball? Well for her honeymoon Marilyn got to go to the 1962 World Series in San Fran! (Luckily Marilyn loves baseball herself ) In fact her uncle who lived in San Francisco got them tickets to the World Series as a wedding gift. John had a long career with the City of Kimberley, first as an ice maker at the Curling Rink (54 applied, they chose MacKenzie), and then as the Manager of Parks and Recreation, when the Kimberley Civic Centre opened their doors in 1963 or so. Mauk held that position until his retirement. John had a real talent for making ice, both for curling and hockey. In the 1960s Kimberley had two powerhouse Junior Baseball Clubs, the B.P,O,E, Angels skippered by John “Mauk” MacKenzie and the Tempests, coached by Carlo Johensen, along with two
Senior outfits, the Hobos and the Dynamos. Carlo Johensen still resides in Kimberley, as do four Tempest baseball players Albert Hoglund (outfielder), Bobby Neale, (1st Base, and pitcher) Bob “Nizer’ James ( (catcher) and short-stop Danny Sullivan, who barbers locally. Moving to Kimberley in the summer of 1964, the first adult I met was Baseball Coach John MacKenzie, who. Like everyone in Kimberley , had a nickname or two. John MacKenzie was also called “ Mauck”, and “Mack the Knife,” or just “The Knife”. MacKenzie’s B.P.O.E. Angels were a formidable Ball club that included John “Joker“ Davis, Jimmy Seredick, David “Duff” Cupples, (passed), Ron Seredick, (passed), Alan Fabro (passed), Colin Fabro, Billy Shaw, Eric Payne, Danny Calles, Colin Patterson, Sammy Calles ,Jr., Larry Musser Jr,, Van Pratt, Gary Bock, Terry Kinrade, David “Bilco“ Copeland, Greg “Carr“ Coldwell, and myself. John MacKenzie spared no expense when it came to his ballclub, the Angels. We had Major League calibre ball uniforms, and it seemed John and his wife Marilyn were always driving down to Spokane Washington, to pick up Hillerich and Bradsby baseball bats and Rawlings baseballs (bats cost 27 dollars each in the 1960s). Nothing was too good for the B.P.O.E. Angels in Mr MacKenzie’s eyes. Lest I forget John (Mauk) was quite a good athlete in his own right, playing with Eric Bisgrove in B.C. Mens Curling Tournament of Hearts, I believe it was called. Mauk was also a standout soccer player here in Kimberley, in his youth. A point of interest, I personally never saw John Mackenzie even once in Cranbrook. He loved Kimberley, shopped in Kimberley, and lived on Rotary Drive. At the end of the day John loved 3 things in life, his wife Marilyn (Kozak), his son Paul,

and BASEBALL. While most people go to Hawaii for the tropical weather, and the beach and sun, John MacKenzie spent his winter days going to University of Hawaii baseball games, usually in time for batting practice and then the Rainbow ball game itself. Whether it was Coronation Park in Kimberley, or Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Spokane Indians or most recently Hawaii, John just loved to be at the ball park. Pretty much the first thing Mauk MacKenzie said to me in the summer of 1964, was “grab some pine Son”, which, when translated into English, meant you were sitting on the bench. John MacKenzie once pulled a guy named Bobby Taylor out of the stands, so we could dress nine players and not forfeit the game to our cross town rivals the Tempests. Well, the first ball goes out to right field, where Mauk had positioned Taylor. Bob actually dropped his glove, and then pulled his Angel ball cap from his head and kept running and caught the ball IN HIS HAT. Even the usually “stoic” John MacKenzie was grinning ear to

As for humor, well, it did not get any funnier when Bilco Copeland, Butch Kek, Duffy, Puffer, Carr Coldwell and our Coach John MacKenzie were sitting in the dugout at Coronation Park “holding court”. You will be missed John. John MacKenzie is survived by his wife Marilyn (Kozak) and son Paul.

Doehle notes that NRO’s are mainly used for education and as a liaison to the public, but lack the tools and the mandate to enforce rules. “Right now it’s mostly public information, they’re getting a lot of flak from the
public at different times and they’re not trained for confrontation, while the CO’s are,” Doehle said. “…The CO’s know how to deal with it, they’re armed and they’re prepared to deal with the public in that matter. An NRO is not armed and they have a hard time dealing with some of the confrontation that’s put forward to them.” Doehle said he has had conversations with authorities and is hoping to see some enforcement tools put into effect, such as vehicle impoundment or making fines due upon the renewal of drivers licenses. “The impounding of it would have to come from there [the province], it’s legislation or putting it onto a drivers license—the fine—taking a license number off a vehicle and then that person goes to renew his or her drivers license, whether it’s in both provinces, it should be, because both people in Alberta and B.C. have major play in this,” Doehle said.

20 Air Force Cadets At Summer Camp Twenty members of 266 Kimberley Squadron, R.C.A.C. are at present in Abbotsford where they will attend the annual two week training camp. The boys were under the command of F/L Harold Honeyman. Making the trip were Cpls. R. Marusyk, J. Nesgaard, A. Ryneveld and LAC’s R. Brown, D. Calles, R. Carter, R. Lye, D. McConnell, E. McKay, R. Misuraca, M. Nesbitt, D. Ronquist, L. Ross, J.
Scott, A. Sivorot, Ron Turner, K. Wilcox, W. Roberts and M. Taylor. During the summer months more than 2400 cadets between the ages of 14 and 18 will receive basic instruction in R.C.A.F. technical trades, following a syllabus laid down by the R.C.A.F. for Air Cadet summer camps. Most of the training and supervision will be carried out by Air Cadet officers and civilian instructors who accompany the cadets to camp. Regular R.C.A.F. instructors will handle training in specialized subjects. Activities include drill, rifle handling and firing, sports, leadership
and conducted tours to points of interest throughout B.C. A highlight of the camp will be an hour’s flight in a service aircraft for all cadets, during which they will have a chance to sit in the co-pilot’s seat. Wing Commander F. W. Macdonnell of Edmonton, Station Commander, and Wing Commander W. H. Lee of Vancouver, Officer Commanding Cadets, expect the boys will leave Abbotsford with an overall knowledge of the R.C. A. F. The feeling of having worked with a team and an important capacity for future good citizenship.
Level three drought From Page 1 Cameron said the drought results from the combined effects of a winter with low snowfall and a spring that lacked the usual precipitation. “So those two things — the lack of snow melt and the drier spring and early summer — contributed to just generally drier conditions overall,” she said. Cameron reinforced that with the setting of the Level 3 drought, they urge voluntary water conservation
and ask that people cut back their water usage as much as possible. “Hopefully up to 30 per cent of what they would normally be using in a normal year,” she said. “The more that people can conserve water, the more those water supplies are going to last and extend into the fall.” She said they are concerned about ecosystem impacts as streams continue to drop, as it will put stress on fish and also reduce the amount of water that is available to water users.

Gas prices high despite oil’s dive Jeff Nagel Black Press
Gas prices remain stubbornly high in B.C. despite the slide in crude oil prices, and motorists are feeling gouged. Gasoline is down only slightly from $1.40 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to less than $44 in early August. But petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand. Crude oil accounts for less than half of the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refining charges the other big factors. “I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group. “There isn’t much of a relationship on a day-to-day basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.” Expecting gas to move in lockstep with crude oil is somewhat akin to expecting house prices to follow lumber prices, without recognizing scarce land or an influx of buyers might have an influence. Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay. Most of the difference between B.C. prices and the rest of the country is explained by the higher 17-cent-a-litre TransLink tax in Metro Vancouver as well as B.C.’s carbon tax. Motorists are paying just over $1 in Alberta, a few cents more in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and $1.10 to $1.20 in

B.C.’s carbon tax and a low Canadian dollar are keeping gasoline prices higher. most of Eastern Canada. But even after taxes are factored out, Vancouver prices are 5 to 15 cents a litre higher than most other cities across Canada. The reason, Parent said, is that Vancouver-area prices follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up. “Wholesale prices have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said. Some gasoline comes to B.C. through the Kinder Mor-
gan pipeline, but the rest comes from Washington State or other U.S. refineries. If prices were sharply higher in Vancouver than cities to the south, Parent said, gas would flow back to the U.S. – resulting in shortages here – or wouldn’t be shipped north in the first place. Another “huge” factor behind why Canadians in general aren’t yet seeing much relief at the pumps is the drop in the loonie over the past year. Crude and wholesale gas are priced in U.S. dollars, so Canadians are paying with a devalued currency that simply

doesn’t go as far as it did a year ago. So who is profiting from the persistently high pump prices? “Right now, refiners are the big winners,” Parent said. They’re running close to capacity, demand is up because of lower gas prices and therefore refiners can charge more than usual. If crude oil prices get even cheaper – potentially as sanctions against Iran end and more oil pours onto the world market – there’s no guarantee gas prices will follow because of the refining constraints in North America.
Wapiti Music Festival celebrates five years Leah Scheitel The Free Press
The Wapiti Music Festival celebrated its fifth birthday with another successful event. The festival started on Thursday evening with performances by the Hark Raving Sirens, a local female trio who sing a mix of older and newer songs, as well as the Steadies at the Arts Station and continued at Annex Park over Friday and Saturday. On Friday, the festival gates opened at 6 p.m. and evening performances started at 7 p.m. People were entertained by Buckman Coe and Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer while dancing, lounging on the grass or enjoying the beer gardens.

A crowd gathered at Annex Park on Aug. 8 for the last of a two-day festival. Those in attendance were entertained by a variety of bands during the fifth annual Wapiti festival. The grounds opened on Saturday at noon, allowing for ample time for people to check out the vendors, sample the variety of food trucks
and enjoy the afternoon music by Kirby and Lovecoast. There was an activity tent for the children who weren’t dancing or enjoying the hu-
la-hoops. Saturday performances included the Mounties, a Canadian alt-rock band made up of Hawksley Workman
and Steve Bays of Hot Hot Heat fame. Bays flirted with the crowd, mentioning that if he wasn’t already married, he would find his wife in amongst the throng of festival-goers. Their performance was a bonafide jam session that provided an intimate experience for the crowd. Last to take the stage was Sherman Downey, the newly solo Newfoundland-based singer. His bluegrass music was a nice topper to a steady stream of performances over the two days. The Wapiti Music Festival has become a staple weekend in the summer, with many locals and visitors looking forward to it each year.

Sorting out federal election issues
T
he first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and the non-issues. I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already. First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner. This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good. Scheduled elections by their nature cre-
ate longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests. Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring. The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a BC VIEWS rebound in exports and tourism, which any government Tom would appreciate. Have you Fletcher tried to find parking at the mall lately? Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete. Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate. This is, of course, all theatre. Based on
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now. Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year. The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it. Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011. Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

Nitros add Garrels to coaching staff Taylor Rocc a
Byron Garrels is about to inject some youth into the Kimberley Dynamiters coaching staff. That isn’t to say head coach Jerry Bancks and assistants Jeff Keiver, Mike Reid and Todd White are getting old. They’re just a little bit older than the newest member of their group. Reid, who also wears the general manager’s hat for the Dynamiters, revealed Garrels, 31, as the fourth assistant coach on the team’s staff Monday afternoon. “Byron is a young guy with lots of energy,” Reid said. “He was, and still is, a very good hockey player. He brings more to the staff. “It’s never a bad thing to bring in as many talented people as you possibly can and go from there.” Though born in Red Deer, Garrels calls Kimberley home and has since moving to the Bavarian City of the Rockies from Cambridge Bay, N.W.T., when he was in ninth grade. Garrels suited up for the Nitros from 2001-02 through 2002-03 before moving on to the Alberta Junior Hockey League, first with the Crowsnest Pass Timberwolves and eventually the Brooks Bandits. “It’s a good opportunity to learn,” Garrels said Monday. “[Coaching] is an opportunity to get back into the game and help some kids out.” In 100 career AJHL games, Garrels registered 14 goals and 39 points before moving on to the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) for post-secondary studies. Garrels found himself at the Kimberley Civic Centre as a fan on many occasions last season, watching the Dynamiters trek all the way to the town’s first KIJHL championship since the 1980. “I’m going to help out wherever I can, really,” Garrels said. “I’m not going to go in there and change anything. Obviously they won a championship last year.
can and learn from the guys that are there. “Watching the playoffs was definitely exciting for the whole community. Most of the town was in the arena during most of the playoffs. Anytime you can get that, it’s a good thing.” The newest member of the Nitros coaching staff will look to begin learning from his more senior colleagues when players report for conditioning and fitness Aug. 31 and as main camp opens Sept. 4 at the Kimberley Civic Centre. “At the beginning, it will probably be a learning curve for him,” Reid said. “He hasn’t coached at this level before so it’s more get to training camp, get yourself familiar with the kids, get yourself familiar with how we operate. “I see him probably, as time goes on, sliding into my position [on the bench].” With six 1995-born players on the roster as of Monday, Reid is going to be tasked with retooling a significant chunk of the roster following the 2015-16 season. And that isn’t a task achieved over night. “I really have to be active scouting this year,” Reid said. “We’re graduating a lot of players. This is a very big year for our organization as we transition to next year.” Forwards Eric Buckley, Jared Marchi, Alex Rosolowsky, defencemen Jordan Busch and Justin Meier, along with goaltender Tyson Brouwer, will all age out of junior hockey following the 2015-16 season. KIJHL clubs are restricted to carrying five 20-year-old players, meaning one of the six will have to go prior to puck drop Sept. 11 in Invermere when the Dynamiters visit the Columbia Valley Rockies. As for Garrels, he can’t wait for that date and the opportunity to gain a completely new perspective on hockey.

After providing junior hockey fans in Kimberley with a season worth remembering, the Kimberley Dynamiters received a memento of their own this past weekend. The Nitros were presented with Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship rings as Kimberley Golf Club hosted the local hockey heroes Saturday, Aug. 8, for a round of golf and banquet. Dynamiters general manager Mike Reid (above, far right) wished to extend his gratitude to Kimberley Golf Club for the hospitality.
The Dynamiters defeated the Kamloops Storm in the sixth game of the best-of-seven KIJHL championship series, closing out the title run with a decisive 5-1 victory March 29 at McArthur Park Arena in Kamloops. The Kimberley Dynamiters are set to open training camp Sept. 4, with players reporting for conditioning and fitness testing Aug. 31.
Former Kootenay Ice star signs with New York Rangers Jarret Stoll inks one-year deal on Broadway
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Jarret Stoll’s tumultuous off-season has finally taken a turn in the right direction. The former Kootenay Ice captain signed a oneyear, $800,000 contract with the NHL’s New York Rangers on Monday morning, putting behind him an off-season that began in April with a Las Vegas arrest and felony cocaine possession charge. The felony cocaine possession charge was eventually dropped as Stoll pleaded guilty to one count of provoking commission of breach of peace and one count of trespass. The plea resulted in a sentencing of 32 hours community service. According to Associated Press, Stoll is also starting a program to help others understand the dangers of using alcohol and controlled
Jarret Stoll
substances. Stoll, 33, posted six goals and 17 points in 73 games with the Los Angeles Kings last season. He will look to rebound in 2015-16, both off and on the ice, as a member of the Rangers. The centre’s oneyear, $800,000 contract on Broadway follows a three-year, $9.75-million deal in Hollywood
that expired at the conclusion of the 2014-15 campaign. The native of Melville is a veteran of 792 NHL games with 140 goals and 379 points to his credit. He helped the Kings to Stanley Cup titles in 2012 and 2014. Prior to embarking on a successful professional career, the 6-foot1 pivot was the first-overall selection of the Edmonton Ice at the 1997 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. With the Ice franchise, Stoll posted 286 points in 245 games. He was the franchise alltime leader in scoring until being surpassed by Sam Reinhart (319 points) during the 201415 WHL season. While with the Ice, Stoll helped the club to its only Memorial Cup championship (2002) as well as a pair of WHL championships (2000, 2002).
Play suspended at Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship Kimberley native Jared du Toit waits for Tuesday tee off Taylor Rocc a
Kimberley’s Jared du Toit will have to wait one more day to tee off at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship. Inclement weather led to the suspension of first-round action Monday afternoon at both host courses -- Lambton Golf & Country Club and Weston Golf & Country Club -- in Toronto. du Toit was scheduled to tee up his first round at 11:25 a.m. (Mountain) Monday at Lambton. Despite the rainy conditions, a handful of competitors were able to complete first-round play. As of Monday evening, Ben Eccles (Australia) and Gavin Hall (Pittsford, N.Y.) sit atop the leaderboard. Each carded an opening-round score of 66 to lead the pack at five-under par. du Toit won his way
into the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship by claiming the title at the 2015 B.C. Men’s Amateur Championship in Oliver earlier this summer. The Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship is more than a century old, having been first contested in 1895 at the Ottawa Golf Club. The winner of the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship receives exemption into the 2016 RBC Canadian Open. New Zealand native James Beale, 21, claimed the 2014 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship following a three-hole playoff at Elmhurst Golf & Country Club last August. The 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship was originally slated to run from Aug. 10 through Aug. 13, but that could change following Monday’s weather problems.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: It is a modern kind of problem to have such a long life expectancy. My husband and I are in our early 60s. His parents are in their early 90s. They still live independently and are fairly healthy. We often have family get-togethers with his parents, our children and our grandchildren. My husband’s father tells the same stories over and over. He completely monopolizes conversations and will interrupt a speaker and start telling his own tale from days long gone. His wife will sometimes say, “Dear, you’ve told this story before,” and he will momentarily pause, but his brain is stuck on one track and he’ll keep going. He is unable not to continue, complete with the same jokes and dramatic pauses that he has learned through repetition. We try to be polite and listen, but I see how my children’s eyes glaze over and eventually, they find reasons to leave. Here’s the real problem: Over the past few years, I have seen my husband developing this same need to speak. Usually, he wants to make a point or he has some complaint. But he seems unable to just let it go. He also has started telling long stories, over and over, about his younger days. Yesterday, he ruined a family lunch by fighting about something minor that he absolutely could not let pass. I don’t want to spend years hearing the same stories and putting up with a husband who is unable to be silent and listen to others. My father-in-law is oblivious to others, and I can see that his son is headed the same way. What can be done? -- L. Dear L.: You’re overlooking the possibility of an inherited neurological problem behind this tendency. It is not uncommon for some seniors to become repetitive and focus on their younger days. But the inability to drop an issue when asked, even when it causes family fights, has an element of compulsive behavior. Please talk to your husband about this when he is in a more reasonable mood. Ask him to speak to his doctor about an evaluation, or better, go with him. But please work on your tolerance levels. Your husband isn’t being annoying on purpose. Instead of allowing your frustration to boil over, try to understand how difficult it is for him to control himself, and then help others be understanding, as well. Dear Annie: Has the definition of “fiance” changed? It used to mean one’s intended spouse, one’s betrothed, the person one has agreed to marry after an engagement period. Now, it seems to mean merely the person one is currently having sex with. Marriage no longer appears to be a necessary element of the word’s meaning. Am I right about this? -- Curious Dear Curious: No. A fiance is still someone you intend to marry. However, the length of the engagement could be quite long - years - and in the meantime, some couples choose to live together. While there are a few optimistic folks who refer to themselves as a “fiance” even when they are not, in fact, engaged to be married, it doesn’t change the meaning of the word. It only shows the expectations of the person using it. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Bell recovered from wreck of UK battleship Sylvia Hui ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON - An American philanthropist and investor has recovered a bell from a British battleship that was sunk in the North Atlantic during World War II. A team led by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen retrieved the bell from the HMS Hood, once the largest warship in the world and the Royal Navy’s symbolic flagship. The Hood was sunk by the German ship Bismarck in the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland in 1941. All but three of the Hood’s 1,418-strong crew perished. A first attempt in 2012 to recover the bell from the wreck - lying at 2,800 metres (9,186 feet) deep failed because of poor weather conditions and technical difficulties. Britain’s Royal Navy and Allen’s website said Monday a second try, using a remotely operated vehicle and working with
shipwreck search company Blue Water Recoveries, succeeded on Friday. The Hood was the largest ship the Royal Navy ever lost in action. Admiral George Zambellas, Britain’s First Sea Lord, called the Hood a “magnificent symbol of the power of the Royal Navy” and said her loss was a reminder of the high price Britain paid for freedom. “Her story, her sacrifice, continues to inspire the Royal Navy today,” he said in a statement. “The recovery of the ship’s bell will help ensure the 1,415 men lost, and the name Hood, will always be remembered by a grateful nation.” The bell was said to be in good condition, though it would require a months-long conservation process. It is expected to be displayed in the National Museum of the Royal Navy in southern England’s Portsmouth as a memorial to the Hood and its men. The bell from the HMS Hood is lifted from the ocean floor by an expedition led by Microsoft’s Paul Allen.
Farmers in Italy test methane-run tractor Colleen Barry ASSOCIATED PRESS
VENARIA REALE, Italy Luca Remmert’s dream of running a self-sustainable farm is within sight. He produces energy from corn and grain near the northern Italian city of Turin and hopes in the not too distant future to run all of his eight tractors on methane generated at the farm. Remmert’s 450-hectare (1,100-acre) La Bellotta farm has been testing a second-generation prototype of what will be the first tractor to run on methane, the T6 by New Holland Agriculture. Methane would be 30 per cent cheaper than diesel. And for farms that produce their own bio-methane, the costs of fuel would The new T6 Methane Tractor at work.

London drinkers buzz over a cloud of breathable alcohol Ashley Chan ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON - Britons are buzzing over a temporary entry in the capital’s already saturated drinking scene: breathable booze. The pop-up bar, Alcoholic Architecture, uses a humidifier to pump a gin and tonic vapour into an enclosed space. Patrons absorb their alcohol from the “Cloud” by breathing in the vapours and by soaking it in through the skin and eyes. The concept isn’t new. Douglass Miller, a beverage expert at the Culinary Institute of America, recalls seeing the idea in action back in 1998. Descending into a basement on the south bank of the Thames, customers are handed plastic ponchos to prevent the smell from permeating their hair and clothes, then are led into a corner of the bar sheathed in plastic strips. They walk in. And breathe. Deeply. “I think the last time I did something like this was where we accidentally spilled lots of vodka into the sauna,” said Tom
Foreman, 28, who works in marketing. Sam Bompas, one of the project’s designers, says the alcohol “goes straight into the blood stream, bypassing the liver.” Patrons are limited to one hour in the Cloud so they don’t get too inebriated. Medical experts don’t share his excitement. Dr. William Shanahan, a consultant psychiatrist at Nightingale Hospital, which specializes in addictions and mental disorders, called the method “a gimmick.” “The alcohol avoids first pass metabolism in the liver and goes directly to the brain, which makes it much more intoxicating and the intoxication is very rapid,” he said. “This has the potential to cause serious side effects as well as brain damage in the developing young brain.” Dr. Niall Campbell, an alcohol addiction specialist at the Priory Hospital in Roehampton, was even more blunt. “The last thing this country needs is another way of ingesting alcohol.”
