Molly Miller on the podium CHRIS NE WEL For the Bulletin
Molly Miller, a Canadian National Cross Country ski champion from Kimberley BC, is no stranger to the podium but during this summer is at the forefront with a new sport. Molly graced the podium on Aug 2 at the Post Falls Triathlon and again in Coeur d’Alene on Aug 8. Molly trains diligently throughout the year to ski competitively not only in BC but also in Canadian National Ski races. To compete Molly augments her ski training by running, cycling and even swimming.

ride and finishing with a 5 km run. In Post Falls, Molly completed the course in 1:17, first in her age category (13-19) and first in all the females. She was 8th in a field of over 50 competitors. For those that don’t know Molly is only 14. In Coeur d’Alene a week later the competition was a bit tougher with a time of 1:23, but she managed a respectable 2nd place in her age category and 3rd in the females. Molly is a dedicated athlete who trains year round for her passion, which is cross-country skiing. She is well known in the ski world not only in BC but also in Canada.

It wasn’t just locals, Wilson said. 17 per cent were from somewhere else in B.C. and 15 per cent were from Alberta. Having an event almost every weekend is key, Wilson said. “We’ve had First Saturdays, the Medieval Fest, the concerts last week, Kaleidoscope, JulyFest. That kind of animation creates the perception that whenever you come here, there will be entertainment.” See Page 3

Summer of 2015 a good one so far From Page 1 There are also several big conferences coming up. Community Futures of BC will be holding their provincial meeting here at the end of September, and in October 250 people from the Church of God will be here for 10 days. “The folks from the Church of God have only one meal scheduled at the Conference Centre,” Wilson said. “The rest
will be at Kimberley restaurants. “This type of activity is reflected in investor confidence. You can see it visibly in the retail sector with new storefronts in Marysville and downtown. People don’t take these kinds of risks without being confident in the consumer base.” “We are having a great 2015,” McCormick said. “Construction is up and our events
scene has seen a resurgence this year, with the continued success of events like Round the Mountain, and new events like Symphony on the Mountain, the Kimberley Medieval Festival, and the Diamond Rio Concert.” According the Mayor there is much more to come. “Get ready for the Black Spur Ultramarathon August 22-23 when 300 highly moti-
vated competitors will descend on our community. These folks tend to be high-achieving professionals and their presence will be noticed. “As the community enjoys the summer, we are at work with Cranbrook to build a business corridor between the two cities that targets industry and the long term prosperity that well paying job provide.”

This summer at Band Camp Student concert this Saturday at the Kimberley Elks Hall
C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Summer at Band Camp. Some Kimberley kids have been lucky enough to spend their summer at band camp, learning not just performing music, but the ins and outs of life in a band — from financial to setting up for gigs. Running the camp is local musician Fraser Armstrong. Kimberley residents will have heard him playing around town of late with his family band, In Pursuit. The nine kids, ranging in age from 11 to 19, received five days of instruction and rehearsal and then have an oppor-
tunity to play for the community. That will happen this Saturday, August 15 at the Kimberley Elks Hall, doors open at 6:30, music begins at 7 p.m. Admission to the all ages event is $4. Playing will be the Cool Cool Jay Walkers, Sailor Twift and In Pursuit. “The kids got 12 songs together in a week at band camp,” Armstrong said. “Then they get together after and fine tune. Some of them are pretty new to music. The base player in Cool Cool Jaywalkers can’t be more than 11. I’m really impressed with the way the kids handle themselves.
“And they’re having so much fun. This is something we could do on a bigger scale.” Armstrong says the kids are learning entrepreneurship along with music. It’s important to him that they learn that you can make a living with music but it needs to be approached like a business. “We want the kids to put out a professional sounding product. I want them to assign value to what they are doing. It can be more than a hobby.” Sponsoring the event are Overwaitea, The Brick, Chamber of Commerce, Kimberley Building Supplies, Grub Stake Pizza, Signal Collision,
The students enjoyed the opportunity to get creative with band names and promotions.

Panspermia and the Drake Equation
O
ne by one, the empty boxes in the Drake Equation are being filled in with actual numbers, and it’s looking good. So good that Yuri Milner is spending $100 million of his own money over the next ten years to fund the search for non-human civilisations orbiting other stars. But it’s a pity that the Philae lander from the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission didn’t have more time to look for life on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Yuri Milner is a Silicon Valley billionaire who was working on a PhD in theoretical physics at the Russian Academy of Sciences before he moved to the United States and got rich. His money will buy thousands of hours of radio-telescope time each year to look for radio transmissions from other star systems. This represents at least a tenfold increase in the amount of work being done on finding intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy, and Yuri Milner is no fool. Why does he think it’s worth spending this money now? Probably because the Drake Equation is finally coming into its own. It has seven terms, and American astronomer Frank Drake could not give a value to any of them when he first wrote it in 1961. It was just a formula that would let us estimate the number of civilisations in the Milky Way galaxy when the relevant data eventually became available. Using the data acquired in the past twenty years, NASA now estimates that there are 144 billion habitable planets in
our galaxy. Not all of them will harbour life, of course, but that is a very encouraging number. Other questions remain, however. How many “habitable” planets will actually have life on them? On how many of those planets will an intelligent species appear? How many of those intelligent species will build civilisations that use electromagnetic communications? And how long, on average, would those hightech civilisations last? We don’t yet know the answers to any of those questions, but we do know that organic compounds are comGwynne mon even in interstellar space, and that they are Dyer continuously raining on our own planet. So the standard assumption is that they somehow combined on Earth to form the first single-celled creatures, and evolution did the rest. But if it were easy for those organic compounds to combine into complex microbes and viruses, then you would expect it to have happened here a number of times. There would be several or many unrelated genetic lineages on Earth – and there aren’t. All life here has a common ancestor. So it must be very rare for life to develop spontaneously. If it actually happened here, it would mean that we are a miracle, and pretty much alone in the galaxy. But maybe the miracle happened on another of those 144 billion planets, billions of years ago, and life been spreading through the galaxy ever since – not as alien beings on starships, but as microbes
and viruses on meteorites and comets. This is the “panspermia” hypothesis, first proposed by astronomers Sir Fred Hoyle and Dr Chandra Wickramasinghe in 1974. Dissatisfied with the notion that Earth was unique, they suggested that not only organic compounds but actual microbes and viruses could travel through interstellar space, dormant but still viable in the liquid water that they suspected was present in the interior of many comets. It sounds weird, but it is just as plausible as the rival hypothesis of an independent origin of life on Earth. Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was the first-ever opportunity to see if this hypothesis holds water (so to speak). The Philae lander did detect sixteen different organic molecules as it bounced along the comet’s surface, but it ended up in the shadows without power to pursue its investigations further. Pity, but there’ll be another comet along in a while. And if it turns out that Hoyle and Wickramasinghe were right, then most of those 144 billion planets will have life on them. The history of evolution on earth tends always to greater complexity, so a fair proportion of them would have intelligent life on them. How many of them have high-tech civilisations on them at the moment, of course, depends on how long the average technological civilisation survives. Our own hi-tech civilisation has survived, so far, for about one century. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries.

It happened this week in Cranbrook What’s Up? Dave Humphrey
Week August 9 - 15
Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1901 FOUND MR. CLARK’S BODY ... It was lodged in a drift just below the mouth of Wild Horse. Since there had been a reward of $150 for those who would recover the remains of Mr. Clark, of Fort Steele, who was drowned several weeks ago, there has been a constant watch kept on the river below Fort Steele. Last Monday three Indians, who had been patrolling the stream, discovered the remains a short distance below Wild Horse, lodged in a drift pile. The people of Fort Steele were notified, and a party left town to bring them back. The body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, owing to the long time it had been in the water. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, and business was practically suspended in the town during the ceremony. Everybody turned out to pay a last tribute of respect to the memory of an old and honored citizen.
ents about the work and arrange for terms. PRESENTED WITH A WATCH … Miss Daisy Hilliers was presented with a watch after the Presbyterian service in the Odd Fellows’ Hall last Thursday evening. Rev. Fortune, the Presbyterian minister from Cranbrook, made the presentation. The watch was offered to the person raising the largest amount for the Presbyterian manse and Miss Hilliers’ amount stood first, being $70. NEW SAW MILL ... The King saw mill, located near Smith’s lake south of town, is nearly ready for operation. The machinery has been put in place and the plant will be started up the latter part of the week. M. B. King has been giving the work his personal attention, and is pushing it along. UGLY MUTT … There is a special prize of $2.00 for the ugliest mongrel owned in South East Kootenay. There ought to be many competitors for this prize. There is hardly a town in the district that has not several prize winners.
OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS … There is a larger attendance this year than ever before. Nearly every seat is occupied and there are many more children to start within the next few weeks. Another division will be needed and the growth of a school is a fair criterion by which to judge of the growth of a town. Last year a third room was added to the school facilities of Cranbrook, and now at the opening of this year’s work, it is seen that the three rooms will not be enough to accommodate the school population of this town. On Monday, the opening day, there were 112 pupils enrolled, and there are fully one third to one half as many more to enter within the next four weeks. At present the number is divided as follows: First division, Principal McIntyre: 31, Second division, Mr. Watson: 26, Third division, Miss Dyker: 43. This gives each teacher nearly as many as anyone should handle, and leaves seating room for only a few more. Principal McIntyre stated that there was no question that another division would have to be added to meet the demand that will be made.
ARRESTED FOR SELLING LIQUOR ... There seems to be some bad feeling over the manner in which Mr. Livers, the druggist who moved to Morrisey from Moyie, was recently arrested for selling liquor. Constable Barnes set some kind of a trap for him, but the druggist claims that he was within the confines of his rights as a druggist in the sale made. Mr. Livers was arraigned before Magistrate Ross and admitted to bail, William Tuttle, of Fernie, going security for $100. There may be trouble over the matter before the case is finally disposed of.
MOVE ALONG … The Coal Company is sending out notices this week to all the squatters on the Fernie townsite that they must vacate the premises at once. This will cause considerable trouble among those who have erected buildings, as the company claims all improvements. There are over 100 squatters who will have to move, as the townsite occupies some 614 acres they will either have to purchase or move outside the town.
BUCKED OFF … Mrs. Joseph Jackson was thrown from a horse one evening last week, by the saddle slipping. She struck a stump as she fell, and for a few minutes was unconscious. When she recovered, the horse and her dog were standing near her waiting patiently for orders.
A PRIMARY SCHOOL ... Mrs. J. O. Rawlandson has made arrangements to open up a private primary school at her residence on Wednesday next. It is her intention to take children who are too young to attend the public schools, and give them the benefit of the kindergarten system, the logical system for young minds. The hours will be from 9:30 to 12:30, and Mrs. Rawlandson will give personal attention to each pupil, teaching the elementary principles of music, and giving instruction by the use of animate and inanimate subjects to the little ones on matters that they will be able to grasp and comprehend. She will be pleased to talk to par-
SURVEYING WORK … T. T. McVittie, of Fort Steele, the well-known surveyor, was in town last Thursday. He is kept busy these days, as there is quite a lot of work in his line. LOOKING BETTER … Some good work was done last week toward cleaning Baker Street. Some more could be done, A few minutes labor in front of each store would work wonders in the appearance of the street. Try it.
1902 GLAD RAGS … Alex McDermot had a Toronto friend visiting him last week. The aforesaid friend is a Johnny Newcomer in the wild and wooly west, and in traveling he carried two dress suit cases, an ivory topped cane and a leather hat box that contained a silk hat. If a man is passing through a country with harness of that kind it is all right, but good judgment should be displayed in wearing it. But “Mac’s” friend lacked that keen discerning judgment that characterizes the man familiar with this part of the west. When Sunday morning arrived the friend proceeded to get out his glad rags. And when he was through Solomon in all his glory was not in it with this particular fashion plate from Toronto. “Mac” is a pretty strong dresser himself, and knows a good
thing in the gents furnishing line when he sees it. But the tout ensemble of the friend staggered him. Patent leather shoes, light pants properly creased, a Prince Albert coat and that silk hat. “Mac” hemmed and coughed and suggested that any old hat would be more comfortable, but the gentleman from the effete east was satisfied. They started down the street, made the round trip and got back to the hotel safely. “It was a relief,” said ‘Mac.” “I looked for an egg or a brick all the time, and the sight of that top hat made me nervous. I was glad to get back, and that man will never know what he escaped.” FRIENDLY MEETING … H. N. Coates of St. Johns, N. B., has been visiting his old school mate, James Ryan, for the past two weeks. Mr. Coates is a member of the hardware firm of S. Haywood & Co. It was his first visit to this part of British Columbia, and he was most favorably impressed with the country in general and Cranbrook in particular. He and Mr. Ryan sat by the hour on the shady side of the hotel, and told stories of long ago. It was no uncommon thing to see both of them laughing heartily together over some revived memory of the past. They had a great visit together and “Uncle Jim” regretted his friend’s departure very much indeed. CRANBROOK WINS … Cranbrook is a winner in baseball as in other games. Last Sunday the team, headed by E. H. Small, left for Pincher Creek and Monday afternoon the first game of the series was played, resulting in a score of 16 to 5. The boys were treated in a royal manner by the people of Pincher and had a glorious time. Tuesday afternoon they played the Medicine Hat team and again won a victory by a score of 10 to 8. They won again at the Hat yesterday by a score of 9 to 16. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC ... The picnic given for the Sunday school of Christ Church at Marysville last Saturday was a great success. Three coaches were crowded and Rev. Beacham and Mr. Hunt took most excellent care of the little ones. There were games and contests of different kinds, furnishing all kinds of amusement for the little ones. LOOKING GOOD … J. R Downes, of the Cosmopolitan Hotel did himself proud on Saturday. He decorated in magnificent style in honor of Coronation Day, and at night had the front a blaze of Chinese lanterns. OUCH … Louis Collins, conductor on the branch to the mines, almost lost his life on Wednesday night about 11 o’clock. As it was both his hands were horribly mangled. He was switching in the yard at Coal Creek mines when he slipped and fell in front of the engine and before he could make a move to save himself it passed over him. Fortunately for him he is a small man and aside from several bruises on the back he escaped being crushed, but both hands were partly on one of the rails, wheels passing over them. He was immediately taken to the Fernie hospital where it was found necessary to amputate all the fingers on the right hand and two on the left. The operation was performed by Drs. Corsan and Bonell. Collins has a wife and family to support and the accident renders useless him for a long time to come.

Cranbrook Professional Rodeo returns to Wycliffe Exhibition Grounds Annual event opens 29th instalment on Friday night and runs through Sunday afternoon
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Rodeo fans rejoice -the Cranbrook Professional Rodeo romps into the Wycliffe Exhibition grounds this weekend, bringing with it all the rough-stock action you can handle. The 29th Annual Cranbrook Professional Rodeo gets underway Friday, Aug. 15, with evening rodeo events beginning at 6:30 p.m. Saturday festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. with a rodeo dance to follow. Saturday’s event also functions as “Support STARS Day,” with a portion of proceeds going to support STARS Air Ambulance. The annual Canadian Professional Rodeo Association sanctioned event will feature a handful of well-decorated cowboys from across Canada, the United States and elsewhere around the globe. Zeke Thurston of Big Valley, Alta., won the 2015 Calgary Stampede saddle bronc championship on July 12, col-
lecting a $100,000 prize along with the coveted buckle. Thurston is set to ride Friday at Wycliffe. In the bull-riding arena, Dakota Buttar will look to build upon his impressive rodeo resume. The 22-year-old native of Kindersley, Sask., claimed the 2014 Canadian Finals Rodeo bull-riding title and will ride Saturday evening at Wycliffe. Buttar didn’t have much luck at the 2014 edition of the Cranbrook Professional Rodeo, but Chad Besplug did. The native of Claresholm, Alta., took home the 2014 championship and will once again return to defend his title. In tie-down roping, Curtis Cassidy will grace the Wycliffe Exhibition Grounds with his presence this weekend. The native of Donalda, Alta., is fresh off a second-place finish at the 2015 Calgary Stampede. He is scheduled to rope Friday evening. On the heels of Cassidy was Clint Robinson
of Spanish Fork, Utah, who finished third at the 2015 Calgary Stampede. He is set to ride Sunday afternoon at Wycliffe. Cassidy and Robinson aren’t the only tiedown ropers to find success at the Calgary Stampede before bringing their ropes and saddles to Cranbrook. Morgan Grant, a native of Granton, Ont., claimed the $100,000 prize at the 2014 Calgary Stampede and will ride Saturday night at Wycliffe. In steer wrestling, 2014 Cranbrook Professional Rodeo cochamps Baillie Milan (Cochrane, Alta.) and Tyson Willick (Blaine Lake, Sask.) return to defend their title. Willick will get first crack at the title defence as he is set to ride Friday night. Milan will follow-up on Saturday afternoon. In bareback riding, 2014 Cranbrook Professional Rodeo champion Colin Adams will mosey into the Wycliffe Exhibition Grounds intent on snatching a second con-
secutive title. The native of Deloriane, Man. will ride Sunday afternoon. Jake Brown, 2014 Cranbrook Professional Rodeo saddle bronc champion, also makes his way back to Wycliffe for the 29th running of the local dust up. The Ponoka, Alta., native is set to ride Sunday afternoon. In ladies’ barrel racing, Tara Muldoon of Hinton, Alta. registered the quickest time (17.96 seconds) in the long go at the 2015 Calgary Stampede before finishing fourth overall. Muldoon will take her turn around the barrels on Sunday at Wycliffe. Julie Leggett of Kamloops, B.C., will look to defend her 2014 Cranbrook Professional Rodeo ladies’ barrel racing title. She is due in the arena Saturday evening. In addition to a strong contingent of Canadian cowboys and cowgirls, the Cranbrook Professional Rodeo will welcome the likes of competitors from New York

du Toit misses cut at Canadian Amateur Championship Despite personal disappointment, du Toit helps Team B.C. to Willingdon Cup title
Taylor Rocc a
Kimberley native Jared du Toit isn’t coming home from the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship empty handed, but he isn’t returning with the result he hoped for. Despite helping Team B.C. to the Willingdon Cup title, du Toit missed the individual cut by one stroke after posting a second-round 76 at Weston Golf & Country Club on the heels of an opening round 72 at Lambton Golf & Country Club in Toronto. “It’s definitely pretty cool getting your name on that cup,” du Toit said over the phone after landing back in Calgary on Wednesday. “Any cup is nice, but when you’re representing your province and you’re compet-
ing against all the other provinces and come out on top, it feels pretty good.” du Toit and his Team B.C. running mates -Stuart Macdonald (Vancouver) and Kevin Kwon (Maple Ridge) -- finished even par through 36 holes to finish atop the team leaderboard. Finishing at threeover par, Team Quebec and Team Alberta were the closest competitors. The conditions and circumstance weren’t ideal for competitors through the first two rounds of play, with many having to squeeze nearly 36 holes into Tuesday after heavy rain forced the suspension of opening-round action Monday. For du Toit, he snuck in three holes over what he estimated as a sev-
en-hour period on Monday at Lambton, before finishing out the final 15 holes of his first round Tuesday morning. From there, he had to trek from Lambton to Weston for his second round Tuesday afternoon. With a late tee off, the Kimberley native nearly snuck in 18 holes, before darkness set in. But it wasn’t meant to be. du Toit was pulled off the course with one hole to play, faced with finishing out the final hole of his second round Wednesday morning. Heading into his 36th hole of the tournament, du Toit was on the cut line. All he needed to do was scrounge a par Wednesday morning and he would have been through. du Toit faced a 449-
yard, par-four 18th hole at Weston and it ended up getting the best of him as he pencilled in a bogey on his final hole of the second round. “It was not a good bogey and I ended up missing the cut by one [stroke],” du Toit said. “It’s just the way it goes. I can’t really blame it on the draw. Quite a few people from my draw ended up playing all right. When it comes down to it, I was in a bad mindset all week. “In hockey, you can’t score goals when you’re playing defence all the time. That’s kind of what it felt like for me. I was really defensive all tournament. Not a lot of good things to say about my performance. “A lot of people did adjust and I just didn’t seem to adjust to the re-
strictions that were there.” The third round of play at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship was completed Wednesday with Billy Kennerly, of Alpharetta, Ga., leading the pack at 10-under par. Patrick Murphy, of Crossfield, Alta., sits alone in second at six-under par. du Toit won his way into the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship by claiming the title at the 2015 B.C. Men’s Amateur Championship in Oliver earlier this summer. With the summer season concluded, du Toit finds himself preparing for the NCAA’s fall golf season, which begins in September.

Cranbrook’s Stephanie Bohn and Kristen Wilson are returning home with first-place honours after winning the novice women’s race at the Nelson Sprints rowing regatta this past weekend. Representing the Rockies Rowing Club, based out of Cranbrook, Bohn and Wilson pulled hard over the final 250 metres of the 1,000-
metre novice women’s sprint to nose out the second-place crew. Bohn and Wilson also competed as members of the Rockies Rowing Club’s quad team, which also features Roberta Rodgers and Allyson Blake. The women’s quad team finished a respectable third place. The annual Nelson Sprints take place down the west arm of Kootenay Lake, featuring
1,000-metre sprint races open to all classes and skill levels. Rowers compete in sculling boats, which leaves each competitor responsible for two oars. The Nelson Rowing Club was founded in 1896.

I’m desperate to quit smoking and I can’t make those first two weeks.
If you’re just as desperate to quit, let me help you and I’ll pay you to help me. I’m getting sicker by the week so I’m putting my money where my mouth is before I’m too sick to spend it. I’m looking for compatible quit partners who are just as desperate as I am, and had just as much difficulty stringing together smoke-free days, for a two-week mutual-support quit program with 24-hour on-demand support from other smokers who understand your struggle. I want this so badly that I’ll pay MY cash for YOUR success. Let’s quit smoking together, and hopefully gain more than just our health in the process. Being needed can be just as important as being helped in times of need, so all participants must agree to be available, at least by phone and in person if possible, 24 hours a day for other participants in need. For full details, contact me immediately at cublea@cyberlink.ca or at 778-517-5065 for full details. (Oh...and this is just about quitting smoking. Nicotine substitutes are permitted. Let’s solve the worst problem first.) Protect our earth.

du Toit misses cut at Can. Am. Continued from page 1 The former Selkirk Secondary School student will be embarking on a new adventure of sorts, as he heads to Arizona State University (ASU) for his first season with the Sun Devils golf program. “[I’m] going to really get back into the college season, the college grind,” du Toit said. “Going to do that and trying to succeed at that level again.” After two seasons with the University of Idaho Vandals, du Toit transferred to ASU on July 15. The winner of the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship receives exemption into the 2015 USGA Men’s Amateur Championship (Aug. 17 to 23 in Olympia Fields, Ill.) as well as the 2016 RBC Canadian Open. The Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship is more than a century old, having been first contested in 1895 at the Ottawa Golf Club.

Canadian archers Van Nest and Evans still looking for Paralympic berths after Parapan American Games Lori E wing Canadian Press
TORONTO - The nerves from competing in front of several hundred pro-Canadian fans got the best of Karen Van Nest on Aug. 10. But the fact there was several hundred fans, including a crowded row of children that sat in wheelchairs at field level of Varsity Stadium, wasn’t lost on the 52-year-old from Wiarton, Ont. Van Nest won silver in archery, and blamed jitters for partially costing her gold. But to the Canadian, who was slow to join sports after a motorcycle accident in 1985 left her an amputee, said the exposure Paralympic sport is getting in Toronto is a victory in itself. “I’m hoping any televised para-sport encourages anyone in a chair, or anyone, whatever their disability, to get out and try sport,”
Van Nest said. “Because it’s the healthiest thing really, for your mind, for your body. It enhances your life. And you learn so many skills.” A victory Aug. 10 meant a berth in next summer’s Rio Olympics. Jane Karla Gogel of Brazil won gold, outscoring Van Nest 140-132. Van Nest will have a couple more opportunities to secure a berth in Rio, which would be Paralympic appearance No. 5 for the multitalented Canadian, who competed in three Paralympics in pistol shooting, won a world championship silver medal in rowing, and made her first Paralympic appearance in archery in 2012 in London. She wasn’t always so active. It was almost a decade after her accident that Van Nest summoned the wherewithal to get active, sparked when her sister encouraged her to get up and
dance at a wedding. “I loved dancing. And that’s when I went, ‘OK, if I can dance, I can certainly do other things,”’ she said. “I had been stuck. I got stuck for about eight or nine years of not doing, not participating because I was uncomfortable. I wasn’t really encouraged to be active and I didn’t want to try, because I was afraid I’d fail. So I didn’t do anything, which is a shame,” Van Nest said. “There was depression, anger, an adjustment of feeling sorry for myself, a combination of all those things in the grieving process. “And I didn’t know any other disabled people. And I was afraid. I think embarrassed too about being disabled.” Van Nest was 23 and travelling across Canada with her family to Edmonton - she was on her motorcycle, her parents and brother were in a van up ahead - when
she collided with a pickup truck near Brandon, Man. The pickup was passing a tractor trailer on a bend. Fearful she’d veer into the guard rail of wire rope and wood posts, Van Nest focused on staying on the road. “I almost got there, but his back bumper caught my leg, I ended up going right through the guard rail anyways, and kept going,” she said. She was friends with an avid hunter and joined a shooting club in Brampton, Ont., making Canada’s Paralympic team in 1998. She was fourth at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, missing a medal by seven-tenths of a point. She finished fifth four years later in Athens, and then, hampered by a shoulder injury that would force her to give up pistol, finished 10th in Beijing. While in Beijing, Canada’s archers invited her out to watch their competition. “Kevin Evans was in
a shootout, and the whole crowd was looking at just them,” Van Nest said. “And it just seemed like a totally different atmosphere.” Evans, from Jaffray, B.C., was beaten 141138 by American Ben Thompson on Monday. Both Van Nest and Evans regularly compete against and train with able-bodied archers - the two versions of the sport aren’t markedly different. Van Nest, wearing sports sunglasses, her hair pulled back in a braid under a cap, shot in a standing position on a prosthetic leg. Gogel shot from a wheelchair. While she doesn’t see herself as a role model, she’s often reminded that she is. She doesn’t miss a chance to talk about the benefits of sports. Van Nest has perpetual back pain, caused by misalignment from walking on a prosthetic limb. “(Sports) just helps
me, if I’m not working out I’m miserable,” she said. “It just keeps you sane. You have goals, you work toward those goals, and you just keep challenging yourself and that’s what I enjoy about sport: doing better and better and better. That’s the goal, to be the best that I can be.” Van Nest and Evans had hoped to leave Toronto with a quota spot sewn up for the Rio Paralympics. They’ll take aim at a spot again later this month at the world championships in Germany. “Now we pull up our socks, go to Germany, and hopefully everybody does as well as they can and get the quota spots,” said Evans, who lost an arm in a seismic rig accident in 2000. “That’s been the focus in all our work this whole year. That’s the most important thing that all of us have sacrificed a huge amount of time to get.”

REPORT ALL ACTS OF AGGRESSION BY URBAN DEER
STREETS & TRAFFIC – RV & TRAILER PARKING
Any incidents involving acts of deer aggression in the City of Cranbrook should be reported. Both City staff and the provincial Conservation Officer Service keep close tabs on these reports of aggressive deer behaviour in order for Mayor and Council to make any future decisions around urban deer management.
Under this bylaw parking recreational vehicles and trailers on residential streets between the hours of 10:00am and 3:00 pm is prohibited, and parking unattached trailers on any street at any time, unless in an emergency situations is also prohibited. The bylaw applies to travel trailers, tent trailers, campers, motor homes as well as boats and boats on trailers.

Late May through June is historically the time of year does give birth to their fawns. Does will drive away their offspring from the previous year and look for a secluded place to give birth. Deer have one or two fawns per year and triplets do occur once in a while. The white-spotted fawn relies on its colouration, lack of scent and silence for protection. It is quite common for does to leave fawns hidden while they forage in the area, returning occasionally to nurse. If you come across a fawn, it is best to leave it alone. It is also important for residents to remember that does with fawns are very wary of their surroundings and can act or react aggressively if they feel threatened. Give the deer plenty of space to either move or leave the area. Do not walk closer to the deer, choose another route. Be sure to walk your dog on a leash and be ready to let go of the leash if a deer attacks.
BE VIGILANT AGAINST STANDING WATER; 2015 MOSQUITO CONTROL Effective mosquito control requires the combined the efforts of individual property/homeowners with those of the City of Cranbrook Mosquito Control Program. With water levels lower than average this year sources of standing water from around your property will have a huge potential for mosquito development. Some places to eliminate standing water include: • Clogged gutters and ditches • Trays under flower pots • Outside pets’ dishes • Children’s pools and toys • Untreated or unmaintained pools or ponds • Bird baths and feeders • Tarps • Canoes / boats • Tires Residents are encouraged to call the Mosquito Hotline at (250) 421-1294 to report potential mosquito development sites or for more information regarding the Mosquito Control Program.

Stealthy snake on the loose in Metro Vancouver area C ANADIAN PRESS
BURNABY, B.C. - A python spotted in a Metro Vancouver conservation area is a long way from its native African home. City of Burnaby staff saw the snake curled up on a road on Burnaby Mountain near Simon Fraser University around noon on Monday, said Dave Ellenwood, the city’s director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural. Not knowing whether the unusual brown and black reptile was native to the area, workers snapped a picture and took it to a
local group that rescues wild animals, which determined the snake is definitely not from B.C. In fact, the snake - which was less than a metre long - is a ball python, a nonvenomous constrictor. “What we generally do is we try and consult people who know more than we do about these sort of things,” Ellenwood explained. “And that’s when they got the information that it was an exotic pet. They speculate that somebody probably dumped it in the park.”
Staff returned to the park to capture the snake, but it had slithered into the bushes and couldn’t be found. It’s rare that the Burnaby staff see such pets in parks, but it has happened before, Ellenwood says. “Irresponsible people will think it’s a good idea to take an exotic pet and dump it off in an open space, a green space, thinking it would be better off for it.” Abandoned pets are an ongoing problem for animal welfare organizations,
but exotic pets such as snakes come with their own issues, says Yolanda Brooks, spokeswoman for the Wildlife Rescue Association. “They obviously get too big for a person or they live for a long time and then they just send them to the habitat that they think will be good for them,” she said. “Just chucking it out and hoping it will fend for itself is not good for the native species, it’s not good for your pet.” People should think carefully about owning ex-
otic pets such as pythons because they take a lot of specialized care, Brooks added. “While owning a dog or a cat is a big commitment, having an exotic pet is an even bigger commitment.” The python likely won’t survive very long on Burnaby Mountain because of the cold weather, terrain and predators, Brooks said. However she said the snake could also present problems for some native animals while it’s around.
City staff in Burnaby snapped this picture of what is believed to be a ball python on Burnaby Mountain on Monday, before it slithered off into the woods.

Studies reveal strangeness of the octopus SE TH BORENSTEIN ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The octopus already is an oddball of the ocean. Now biologists have rediscovered a species of the sea creature that’s even stranger and shares some of our social and mating habits. Biologist Rich Ross at the California Academy of Sciences said a batch of octopuses from Central America just didn’t fit the loner profile that scientists had drawn for the rest of the octopus species.
While most octopuses live alone, coming together briefly for dangerous mating, couples of this species mate beak-to-beak in a romantic way and stay together for a few days. But it’s more than sex. These octopuses clean food waste from their dens. They twirl their arms like an oldtimey movie villain with a moustache. A report on the species was published Wednesday by the journal PLOS One.
US court urged to reverse lower-court decision on polar bears ASSOCIATED PRESS
The species is preliminarily called the Larger Pacific Striped Octopus, although it’s really not much bigger than a tennis ball - just bigger than a similar species.
ations. Lawyer Robert Stockman on Tuesday argued the critical habitat designation of an area larger than California was as specific as it could be to protect polar bears based on the best available science. About 95 per cent of the designated habitat is ocean. The other 5 per cent is along the northern Alaska coast.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A U.S. Justice Department lawyer has urged appeals court judges to overturn a lower court’s decision rejecting the federal government’s plan to designate a huge swath of the Arctic as critical habitat for endangered polar bears - over the wishes of the state of Alaska and trade associ-

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might experience a certain amount of discomfort when dealing with today’s events. You could be holding back on pursuing a long-term desire involving a loved one. You’ll need to get past what a certain situation is demanding. Give 100 percent. Tonight: Spice up the night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your vision of what you want on the homefront will allow greater give-and-take with a roommate. At first, your desires could be different. However, once you start discussing each of your perspectives, you eventually will find some common ground. Tonight: Happy at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take charge of a situation that seems to be heading in a direction you don’t like. You have the power to handle this matter and turn it around. A discussion in your professional life could become quite emotional. Remember to voice your feelings; they count. Tonight: Hang out.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be aware of what needs to happen between you and someone else in order to make peace. Financial matters could prove to be more important than you originally had thought. Be willing to listen to others’ thoughts. Discussion is a must. Tonight: Run errands before heading home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be in a situation where your opinions count more than others’ do. Ask for their feedback. Try to avoid having them feel as if your way is the only way when dealing with you. You might not be happy about a friend’s input. Tonight: Let your feelings flow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You don’t need to worry about taking a back seat right now. However, doing so is likely to benefit you in some way. Keep your eyes and ears open, as you might need to hear and see some other actions that will force a decision later. Tonight: Make it an early bedtime. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your focus seems to be on a friend and your mutual interests
Tundra
with this person. Know that you are not always on the same page. Sometimes you feel that this person is demanding. Observe, and be more accountable for your side of the situation. Tonight: Where the gang is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others will listen more carefully to what you share. You have expressed unusual creativity and an ability to get past previous restrictions. Those around you admire this ability. Move forward on a matter that could affect your career. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone at a distance; you might want this person’s feedback. You will be offering your knowledge and experience because of a decision made today. Don’t postpone your plans, even if someone tries to coerce you to do so. Tonight: Think “travel.” CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) One-on-one relating dominates whatever you are doing right now. Some of you might be making important personal
decisions, while others could be deciding important financial matters. Trust yourself, but also trust your advisers. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be pushing yourself very hard at the moment. Though you might feel as though your situation is unchangeable, you must do your best to change it. Reschedule certain plans and make it OK to do less. You will be happier as a result. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot on your plate, yet you remain confident that you can handle it all. You might need to cancel some plans to complete certain responsibilities. Keeping your priorities in mind is important. Allow your imagination to wander, and share your ideas. Tonight: Pace yourself.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have four siblings. One of my sisters thinks she has a right to invite herself to our homes, join us for dinner and attend other functions, whether we invite her or not. It’s like she thinks we are joined at the hip. For example, “Ginny” will call and ask, “Where are we going for dinner tonight?” I am tempted to reply, “I don’t know where you’re going, but I have my own plans.” However, Ginny is overly sensitive and none of us wants to hurt her feelings. Worse, Ginny is very nosy. She will come to my house (uninvited, of course) and read my mail. She also asks questions about things that are none of her business. But, Annie, Ginny has many good qualities. She has a big heart and a generous spirit and is always willing to help. I have considered buying her an etiquette book that should cover such things, but my other siblings don’t think this is a good idea. We all love her dearly, but her poor manners are driving us crazy. Any suggestions? -- No Name, Please Dear No Name: Ginny may not understand that she is ignoring boundaries and behaving inappropriately, a sign that she may be on the autism spectrum. Or, she may simply be lonely and clingy, and her siblings are her entire social life. You would be doing Ginny a favor by gently explaining these things. Say that you love her to pieces, but occasionally, you have plans that don’t include family members. When she asks an inappropriate question, you are not obligated to respond. Put your mail where she cannot get to it. Suggest that she look into organizations and activities that will interest her and provide a wider circle of friends and a more active social life. She sounds like she needs guidance. Please help her out. Dear Annie: I recently rode on the New York State Thruway. My toll was $2.25. I gave the toll collector, who appeared to be a recent high school graduate, a $5 bill plus a quarter. I saw him count out three quarters, and when I saw that he was going for some singles, I said, “I want three singles, please.” All of a sudden, it dawned him how this worked and I heard him say, “Ohhh!” What are the schools teaching these kids? I knew this when I was in the fourth grade. -- K. Dear K.: Schools still teach mathematics, but we aren’t sure they teach the variables of counting out change. And since most people now use credit cards, debit cards or electronic pay options on their cellphones (and cashiers use registers that tell them what the change should be), we aren’t sure a toll collector fresh out of high school would come across this type of calculation often enough for it to be automatic. But we’d bet if you saw this same kid in a year, he wouldn’t have any problem at all. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

August 14th, 1947 - August 13th, 2014
One year ago, we lost our mother. She was an educator, a friend and a volunteer. She always wore a smile on her face and maintained a positive attitude towards life. During her brief battle with cancer, this attitude remained.

Bob (Harold Robert) Hammond of Kimberley/Cranbrook passed away in his 100 year on Friday, July 31. Born in St. Anne de Bellevue, QC on April 22, 1916 to Harold and Georgina, he was the second of 4 children. His early years in Ottawa were filled with sports, clubs, and many outdoor adventures – summers spent biking, swimming, paddling and sailing his canoe and winters spent downhill and X-country skiing and skating. From an early age he had a passionate desire to learn about, put together, and then become competent in an endless array of interests including Boy Scouts of Canada, where he earned every skill badge they had from knot tying, to starting a fire without matches, to knitting. After high school, he was off to Queens University and subsequently graduated with honours and a degree in mining engineering. During this time, he continued competitive downhill and X-country skiing and added to his already notable medal collection. He was appointed captain of the basketball team though he could never figure out why and would laughingly say, “I really wasn’t very good!” th
After graduating in 1942, his adventurous spirit lead him to the far north in the Yukon where he worked and co-ordinated crews of prospectors in remote locations including both the mighty Nahanni and Pelly River Valleys. Many of his lively and animated renditions were recounted from this incredible chapter in his life – some hilarious and some riveting like his mid-winter crash landing in an old bush plane way back in the wilds, with no form of communication, finally walking out after many harrowing days. One of his best stories was of spending part of a bitterly cold winter in Yellowknife (instead of in his remote prospecting camp’s walled tent), where it seems evening visits to the hospital for cocoa became a regular occurrence----hmmm! Appears a very pretty young nurse from Saskatchewan had the right recipe and after a fun and eventful courtship, Elsie Anna Biensch and he were married in Wetaskiwin, AB on September 26, 1946. Soon after, they moved to Kimberley where kids Rick & Sally were born. In 1952, the north beckoned again and Tulsequah, BC, a remote Cominco mining settlement about 90km NE of Juneau, Alaska, became home. Five years later, the family returned to Kimberley for many happy and fun years filled with outdoor activities especially skiing, camping and fishing. With his 3 hunting buddies, many mountains and “secret” valleys were climbed and scoured in search of the elusive Rocky Mountain bighorn ram. At Cominco, he became immersed in developing a new alternate to dynamite for blasting – ammonium nitrate. For 5 years, there were many long days, skipped lunches, and late evenings developing the prills for different detonation speeds. Success finally came so blasters could blow a specific area with a much safer and more predictable outcome at a fraction of the cost of dynamite. In the early ‘60’s he was also instrumental in developing an underground circular cone shaped raise borer which was up to 10 times faster and much safer. During this time he researched and implemented major improvements to underground ventilation. He travelled a lot sharing developmental information with counterparts in the US and Scandinavia. Soon after, he got a new label - Superintendent of Research & Technical Development for the Mines Division of Cominco and he’d say as he laughed, “Big title, lots of work, little pay”. In the late 1960’s, as empty nesters, Bob and Elsie spent over 20 years in the West Kootenays of BC between Riondel and Tadanac (Trail) where they had many active retirement years mountaineering, camping, tending their fruit trees, and gardening in the summers as well as both alpine and X-country skiing in the mild winters. Bob was community-minded and volunteered on Boards of ski clubs and wildlife organizations. Some of his fondest memories were of The Old Guys, his X-country ski buddies. Known as “Hi-Ball Bob”, he and “Ol Trapper” Griffiths, “Sniff the Roses” Willey Dorey, “Never Wait” McKay, “The Red Bearded Guy” McKerracher, and “The Convert” Forrest, built a whole series of wonderful trails and cabins in the Nancy Greene Lake area near Rossland. His love of downhill skiing in powder snow with blue skies overhead endured and at the ripe age of 69, he skied just over 1 million vertical feet in one season. Bob and Elsie moved back to Kimberley in 1990 where Rick, his wife Daphne, and their sons Dana and Benson relocated soon after. Daughter Sally was fairly close by in the Slocan Valley during the summers. Bob’s two grandsons were now one of his main focuses, sharing many outdoor experiences and stories with them.

He cherished Elsie (his wife of 68 years, deceased 2014) and loved his family. At 99, after his heart had beat over 3 billion times, it finally wore out. He often said, “Gee I’ve been fortunate. I’ve had a wonderful life”.

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.
5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web
content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.
6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.
7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.
10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America
