SAR teams searching Findlay Creek for missing man Still missing as of Sunday C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Search and Rescue teams from all over the East Kootenay are on the scene in the Findlay Creek area, looking for a Canal Flats man who fell off a bridge while trying to free his stuck vehicle.

Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel says the search began Friday night but was called off due to dangerous conditions and darkness.

“RCMP received a call around midnight of collision on the Skookumchuck Forest Service Road Bridge just off Findlay Creek Forest Service Road,” Newel said. “The driver had failed to negotiate a curve onto the bridge and became high centered on the guardrail.

While attempting to free the vehicle he fell off the bridge into the creek below.”

Newel says the man was outside the vehicle

trying to push it free when he fell.

“BC Ambulance, Canal Flats Fire Dept, RCMP and Search and Rescue teams attended and attempted to locate the male but the search was called off due to dangerous conditions and limited search ability given the darkness and terrain.”

The search resumed early Saturday morning with SAR teams from Sparwood, Columbia Valley, Golden, Cranbrook and Kimberley.

“Over 20 team members many of whom are trained in Swift Water Rescue are involved in the search, which went on until dusk,” he said.

Teams were back out on Sunday.

In June 2013, two men went into Findlay Creek in a truck and rescuers had great difficulty searching because of high water. Newel says the the water is much lower at this time, but still moving quickly which is restricting search efforts.

“The rugged trained has created difficult conditions that the teams have overcome to effectively search the creek.”

A collision analyst attended and conducted a scene examination given the circumstances.

The subject is a 51-year-old male from Canal Flats; police are working with the family during this difficult time.

Newel had high praise for the search teams.

“SAR teams throughout the province continually train and upgrade their skills for situations like this. The teamwork and commitment shown during this incident is excellent. All the team members are volunteers who have come out to assist the family, RCMP and the community. For that we are thankful”.

The area is approximately 50 km northeast of Kimberley and 15 km west of Canal Flats.

2015 FIRE SEASON

It’s not over yet

46 new fires in southeast region; 29 structures lost in Rock Creek C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The 2015 fire season, already costing the province over $200 million with 1,604 fires to date, 473 of those in the Southeast region, picked up over the weekend.

The Southeast Fire Centre has responded to 46 new fires since Thursday, almost all of which are believed to be lightning-caused.

Crews are responding to these new incidents in order of priority, says Fire Information Officer Fanny Bernard,

with the protection of life and property being the main objectives.

The entire region has been blanketed with smoke since last Thursday.

Bernard says the smoke is mainly from fires in Oregon, Idaho and Washington State, but local fires, such as the 600 hectare Mount Midgley fire near Creston may be adding to it.

The Mount Midgley fire is burning 13 kilometres northwest of Creston and was discovered Friday, August 14. Bernard says cooler temperatures and some rain helped over the weekend and the fire has not grown too much. The fire is highly visible from Creston, she said, but not threatening CHRIS NEWEL PHOTO homes or communication towers on Search and Rescue teams from Sparwood, Columbia Valley, Golden, Cranbrook and Kimberley are the mountain. searching the rugged terrain of Findlay Creek area for a Canal Flats man.

Farming still thriving in drought conditions T r e vo r C r awl ey

With drought conditions worsening across the province, there have been some significant consequences as water flows have been low while temperatures have been hot.

On Vancouver Island, the Lo wer Mainland and in the Okanagan, the province has implemented a Level 4 drought rating, meaning that the affected areas are considered extremely dry and that the water supply is insufficient to meet socio-economic and ecosystem needs.

Currently, the Kootenay area is classified as Level 3, meaning that conditions are considered very dry and that potentially serious ecosystem or socio-economic impacts are possible.

Some municipalities, such as Cranbrook, have implemented voluntary watering restrictions for parks and public greenspaces. For businesses, such as local farms and greenhouses, watering is an essential part of their operation.

However, despite some of the dry conditions, it’s been a pretty good year for one local farm.

In fact, the warm weather sped up the harvest at 3 Crows Farm in Cranbrook, accord-

ing to operator Christian Kimber.

“It’s been a good season, everything has been ahead of schedule,” said Kimber. “It started so early and so hot that some plants were ahead and it was wonderful. Other plants like spinach would bolt

“Stuff was accelerated. Stuff in June was be-

At the farm, Kimber grows seasonal produce

such as lettuce, beets, broccoli, garlic, onions, kale, chard, potoatoes, mesclun mix, pea, arugula, carrots, kholrabi,

and rhubarb.

there have been other challenges that he has never seen before such as aggressive grasshoppers and dealing with a small downy mildew outbreak.

In terms of watering, Kimber believes the farm is using less water than last year because of different techniques with drip irrigation and a new mulch.

“We’re able to stay within all of the city regs and still produce a really good-quality product,” Kimber said.

“We spend a bit more time hand-watering a few things like new seedlings and—because we do a lot of transplanting, the heat and the drought has affected germination and how well seedlings survive, but overall we’re finding that a lot of crops are doing really well. “…the city hasn’t imposed any extra watering restrictions, it’s the same restrictions we’ve always worked around and we’ve been able to stay with in that.”

Food trucks and vendors will gather at Cranbrook Hyundai on August 24 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. to serve up some of the best street grub the Kootenay’s has to offer, all in the name of charity.

The event, Hyundai for Hunger, will benefit the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen Endowment Fund, held by the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation.

“Cranbrook Hyundai is passionate about community and committed to making a local

impact right here at home,” says Shane Berry, Financial Services Manager at Cranbrook Hyundai. “This charity event is a fun way for the community to come together, enjoy some great local street food for lunch or dinner, and raise funds for a cause that helps to address hunger for men, women and children in Cranbrook.”

Funds will be raised through general public donations made on location. Participating food vendors will also donate a percentage of food

sales or make a lump sum donation, which will be matched

by Cranbrook Hyundai up to $1,000.

“We thank Cranbrook Hyundai for stepping up for a cause they are passionate about and bringing the community together to raise both funds and awareness around it,” says Riley Wilcox, Executive Director of the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation. “Every time an individual or company incorporates philanthropy into their everyday business we, as a larger

community, move together towards a more vital and healthy Cranbrook. There is a ripple effect. There is positive energy and there is a reason for a collective community smile.”

Participating food trucks and vendors are: • Crumbs Cakery & Café • The Chopstick Truck • Happy Cow Ice Cream Truck • Wicked Weenies • Roadhouse Grill • Auntie Barb’s Bakery • Root & Vine Acres • Steeped Tea

Kaleidoscope - Eleven out of twelve ain’t bad Arts Council to decide if Festival is affordable again next year

by Mike Redfern Festival Coordinator

After the dust had settled in the Centre 64 car park on Saturday night and the dancers had gone home, after the Brickhouse band had packed up their instruments and Ray had disassembled the sound equipment, after Carol and her helpers had packed away the undrunk beer bottles and Eric and his band of heroes had taken down the tents and put them away, when the outdoor concert that was the final event of the Kimberley Kaleidoscope festival was just a memory, festival organizers and volunteers could congratulate each other on a job well done.

Meanwhile their focus is on the September and October First Saturday celebrations, the fall jazz series Live at Studio 64 that starts on September 5, and the monthly parade of new art exhibitions booked into the gallery well into 2017. Exciting new productions are already booked for 2016 at Centre 64 .

The Kimberley Kaleidoscope festival organizers would like to thank all the volunteers and sponsors who made this year’s festival possible. We hope to do it all again next year.

Fishing bans in Ktunaxa considering legal options after court ruling southern Kootenays announced

For the Bulletin

The Ktunaxa Nation said Thursday it was considering its options after a recent BC Court of Appeal ruling.

The British Columbia Court of Appeals ruled last week that BC’s approval of a ski resort in the Jumbo Valley, or Qat’muk, did not violate the Ktunaxa Charter right to freedom of religion, and that BC’s consultation with the Ktunaxa regarding their constitutionally protected Aboriginal rights was reasonable.

Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair, said the decision should be a concern to all Canadians who care not only about the constitutionally protected rights of Aboriginal peoples, but about the actual protection of their own freedom of religion as promised in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“The court ruling also means it was okay for the Minister who approved the ski resort to ignore our Charter right to freedom of religion even though we expressly raised it several times with him in writing,” Teneese said. “The Minister didn’t even mention our Charter right in his written decision to approve the ski resort. From our perspective, the court also has allowed the government to make significant errors in consultations with us.”

Townsman Staff

The Ktunaxa are considering their legal options following a ruling in favour of the Jumbo Glacier Resort proponents.

Teneese said that if the ski resort is built, it puts vitally important Ktunaxa spiritual practices and beliefs at stake.

“Those spiritual practices and beliefs are central to the Ktunaxa, our society, identity and sense of well-being. But the Court of Appeal ultimately decided that our spiritual practices and beliefs should not be protected when their protection might impact other people,” she said.

“Despite the court ruling, we continue to be-

lieve that our Charter rights are meant to be protected.”

Teneese said Qat’muk is where the Grizzly Bear Spirit was born, goes to heal itself, and returns to the spirit world. For Ktunaxa, Grizzly Bear Spirit is a unique and indispensable source of collective as well as individual guidance, strength, and protection, and a necessary part of many Ktunaxa spiritual practices.

Qat’muk’s spiritual importance is also deeply

connected to its biological significance for living grizzly bears now and in the future.

“We have opposed this project for almost 30 years and will continue to do so,” Teneese added. “We are working closely with our legal team to analyze the ruling and other developments to determine what our next steps will be.”

She said one of those steps could be an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

KIMBERLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY 115 Spokane St., Kimberley http://kimberley.bclibrary.ca

The province announced it is suspending angling for the southern Kootenays due to ongoing warm water temperatures and low flows.

Announced on Thursday, the suspension began Saturday, Aug. 15 and continue through to Sept. 15. It will suspend virtually all angling in streams and rivers in Wildlife Management Units 4-3 through 4-9.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations noted that the closure has been put in place to protect fish stocks at a time when they are vulnerable due to low flows and high water temperatures.

The geographic area covers a belt of territory across the southern Kootenays geographically south of Nelson, from below Lower Arrow Lake in the west

across to the Kootenay River, east of Cranbrook.

In addition, Michel Creek, Coal Creek, Lizard Creek, Sand Creek, Kikomun Creek and Morrissey Creek and their tributaries will be closed to angling in the East Kootenay. These streams are in Wildlife Management Units 4-02, 4-22 and 4-23.

Other streams in these two wildlife manage-

ment units are unaffected.

The Columbia River from the Hugh Keenleyside Dam to the Washington State border, and the Kootenay River from Brilliant Dam to the confluence of the Columbia River are exempt from the closure at this time. On these two streams fishing can continue as normal. These streams have sufficient water refuges to adequately protect fish, even with normal angling pressure.

B.C. government fisheries biologists are monitoring approximately 30 other key angling streams across the province, and if conditions warrant, additional closures are possible.

Angling closures are enabled through the British Columbia Sport Fishing Regulations of the federal Fisheries Act.

Fire season not over From page 1 Closer to home, the RDEK reported a fire on the Peavine Forest Service Road near Westview Road area south of Cranbrook. The fire is currently in mop up and there were no evacuation alerts or evacuation orders in place.

Near Rock Creek, the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary completed an assessment of damage in the area and has confirmed that 29 homes and additional structures have been lost. An Evacuation Order and an additional Evacuation Alert issued by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary remains in effect. The fire centre reports that the fire is likely human-caused.

All human-caused wildfires are preventable and unnecessarily divert firefighting resources from naturally occurring fires,” said Fire Information Officer Jordan Turner. “The Southeast Fire Centre is urging everyone to be cautious when in the backcountry and refrain from any activities that may cause a wildfire.”

More than 100 BC Wildfire Service firefighters are being supported by seven helicopters, 14 pieces of heavy equipment and airtanker groups as necessary.

Highway 3 was re-opened Sunday, with flag people directing traffic through the fire area, but Highway 33 remained closed.

There are also two large interface fires near the town of Oliver. The Testalinden Creek wildfire, burning approximately seven kilometres south of Oliver, was estimated at over 1560 hectares on Sunday morning. Airtankers, six helicopters and 96 firefighters continue to work towards establishing containment. An evacuation order remained in place on Sunday for approximately 100 homes in the Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen.

The Wilson Mountain Road fire is burning one kilometre north of Oliver and was estimated at 317 hectares in size on Sunday. The fire is a smouldering ground fire with minimal open flame. Twenty-nine firefighters established guard around portions of the perimeter. They were supported by four helicopters. On Saturday afternoon the BC Wildfire Service recommended the downgrade of the evacuation order to an evacuation alert for residents in the immediate area.

Residents are reminded that cooler temperatures and some rain over the weekend does not mean that caution is not needed. The campfire ban remains in effect across the Southeast region.

The BC Wildfire Service once again encourages public input in reporting any new fires.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

The little market that could

What to do on a Wednesday Night?

Has the scorching summer heat been getting to you? Well then, what are you waiting for —head on down to Rotary Park in downtown Cranbrook.

From humble beginnings on Wednesday, June 24, with a grand total of 10 vendors and a sparse crowd, The Little Market Who Could (as I like to call it) grew to 21 vendors and a large crowd on July 1.

The market which starts at 5 pm and ends at 8:30 pm, has been averaging 18 vendors per week and the attendance has increased thanks to the hard work and dedication of Beverlee Bullough, Fisher Peak Vendors Market Coordinator. Week after week she puts in countless hours to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

There is also a small group of dedicated volunteers that help with set up and take down for vendors that require assistance. Beverlee gets to Rotary Park, Cranbrook at 3 pm to set up and gets home after 10 pm The market features a variety of vendors from artisans, crafters, jewelry, health and skin care, cleaning products, food, fresh fruit and vegetables. The Fisher Peak Performing Artists Society also provides live musical entertainment showcasing local performers from 6 pm to 8:30 pm. Jamie Neve has been a mainstay in setting up, handling sound tech duties and taking down week after week — it must be a labour of love. Jamie gets to Rotary Park, Cranbrook at 5 pm and usu-

ally gets home around 10 pm.

There is also small group of dedicated volunteers who have helped out with set up and takedown.

I for one wish to thank both Beverlee and Jamie for everything they have done to make Cranbrook a better community.

Next time you are attending the Fisher Peak Vendors Market stop by Moon Bead Design Plus and say hi to Beverlee, and walk up to the stage and say hi to Jamie as well.

There are three more markets: Wednesday, August 19; August 26; and September 2. hope to see you there.

Egregious

I have in the past written letters regarding our privacy when visiting doctors’ offices or the hospital, and cellphones being allowed in these private areas.

Much to my chagrin, the recent addition to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC under disciplinary actions reveals a shocking abuse of power. A doctor took photos on his private cellphone of a patient under anesthetic. The photos were of his/her catheter site — he then downloaded the photos to a friend with an inappropriate joke attached.

This abuse is so egregious I cannot believe this individual would actually be allowed to continue to practice. Where there is smoke there’s fire. How many oth-

ers are also doing this?

People in society often feel they may not have a voice. However, when incidents like this happen your voice does matter.

Every British Columbian should be concerned about this. Just because we have a shortage of doctors does not mean a doctor like this should be allowed to practice.

It would be helpful to generate some opinion and discussion about this issue. If you feel strongly about your opinion, write to the Minister of Health and the Premier of BC. Norma Bates Cranbrook

License bikes

I was standing on the sidewalk on the 800 block of Baker Street when a boy and girl rode by me going far too fast. Then another lad rode by on the sidewalk.

I recently read in the Townsman that there is to be no bike riding on the sidewalks or skateboarding in the downtown area.

Please, Mr. Mayor and Council, start charging a fee for a license on all bikes so a person can turn these careless bike riders in.

Also, by putting a license on a bike, the RCMP can have a way of finding out who the bike belongs to.

New brand to launch 2015 Starlite campaign Submit ted

In the summer of 2008 the East Kootenay Regional Hospital was undergoing a major expansion with a new emergency department, ambulatory care and registration areas. The exterior design of the hospital offered an opportunity for EKFH (East Kootenay Foundation for Health) to undertake a new annual holiday giving initiative. As with many health and hospital foundations an annual holiday giving program is one of the cornerstones of fundraising.

Many charities across the country utilize a Christmas Light a Bulb concept; however EKFH wanted to take the idea one step further. During the original planning stages the foundation felt that it might be timely to move away from the concept of lighting Christmas trees and bulbs to one with a more universal theme. After several brainstorming sessions the idea of lighting stars atop the roof line of the regional hospital came to life.

“We had originally intended to purchase commercial grade stars for the project but after extensive research the cost to source the product would require significant outlay that would set EKFH back before even realizing a fundraising benefit”, explains EKFH’s Executive Director Donna Grainger.

What happened next is nothing short of a miracle. While overhearing that the Starlite idea might be scrapped the maintenance team at the regional hospital approached EKFH saying that they would like to take on their own personal project and could build the stars.

“I really was surprised at such an offer but I must admit on one hand I thought, what on earth that team could build that would rise to the occasion and become a signature piece for the foundation, the

hospital and fundraising,” Grainger said.

A few weeks passed and it seemed the idea had gone the wayside until one day someone walking near the maintenance office came running to the EKFH office and shouted “Have you seen what those Maintenance Guys have built for EKFH?” With a quick run to the shop, and a turn around the corner, the first custom made star, painted gold and beaming a serene blue stood shining in brilliance. It was simply magnificent and the start of a new beginning in holiday fundraising for the foundation began.

With metal donations from former Wilkinson Steel, lighting support from BL Lighting and EB Horsman and donated time volunteered by the Maintenance Team (now officially named the EKRH Starmakers) the stars were built. Each Starmaker member took on a task of welding, painting, wiring, or erecting the stars.

Ten stars were built, wired and hung for the 1st annual Starlite Campaign for Excellence in Health Care with an to raise funds for hospitals and health care facilities in the East Kootenay.

The first star was officially lit on November 28, 2008 (as part of a 5-year partnership) with the East Kootenay Community Credit Union. The format was simple; donations of any value were accepted and at every $5,000 increment a star would be lit, the first year goal was 10 stars lit and $50,000. The public response was overwhelming with all stars lit by December 16 and by the end of January2009 an astonishing $55,118 given by the generous hearts of donors.

In 2012, the Starlite Campaign began the tradition of being a solo EKFH signature event. Over the years the Starlite Campaign has witnessed many heart-warming moments and changes in-

cluding a campaign name change, the expansion to 17 stars along the roof line and in 2013 a surprise signature star designed by the EKRH Starmakers placed at the highest point on the hospital’s roof. In 2014 another 24 smaller stars were added to roofline lighting up the traditional blue and new colours of white and green.

For 2015 the 8th annual Starlite Campaign will take on a new brand and remains focused on raising funds for regional and community health programs. These programs are dedicated to helping those with arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, respiratory needs, and more or may require help with chronic disease management, home nursing, in-home oxygen, wound, senior, pediatric and self-care programs.

More often than not these programs have smaller equipment needs. However the impact those pieces of equipment and patient education tools can deliver through these programs in every community in the East Kootenay can often help people who wouldn’t have had anywhere else to turn to for assistance.

From private and corporate donors, service clubs to crown corporations, hockey players to best friends, in gratitude or in memory … the Starlite Campaign donor represents many faces of giving, all with a common goal of strengthening health care in their community and the region. Since its launch the Starlite Campaign has seen outpouring of donor generosity with over $700,000 raised for medical equipment and/or patient comforts.

If you are interested in investing in the health care needs of your community and the region consider a donation towards the Starlite Campaign this holiday season.

When you see the stars shining brightly remember that through your support you can help light a path for others.

T

o me, the casual and somewhat naïve onlooker, it’s like staring bewildered at the side lines of a CFL game. The coach is fairly prominent and obvious. He’s the one going apoplectic as his players mess up. It’s the others that fascinate me. Who are they? What are they doing there? Are they medical staff? Psychiatric doctors? Passers-by with unhelpful suggestions? Ball pumper-uppers or deflaters? The press hoping that something interesting might happen?

There are dozens of them and I have no concept of why they are there. You don’t see them at hockey games, soccer matches or even in the bench when there’s a lacrosse game going on. It’s a mystery.

So is it when politicians make their drawn out speeches.

There, right before my half-closed eyes on the TV screen is a politician who, apparently, is running for office in the next Canadian parliament and who wants me to vote for him or his party.

But I cannot get interested in his blether; it’s the mob standing resolutely behind him, blank-faced mostly, trying not to look stupid, that catches my attention. Who are they? Are they holding the speaker up? Do they just want to be seen?

“Look , Mom! That’s me on television!”

I ask, couldn’t the party just select a gang of nubile cheer-leaders to bounce about and distract us from the verbal drivel being delivered? Some of us elder statesmen might actually sit up and take notice.

But no, we’ve got the usual bunch of clowns to consider. So, being inquisitive at heart, I asked a nosy journalist friend of mine to make some enquires and so she joined the crowd behind the speaker of note at one campaign speech, and she took a recorder with her.

The following quotations are not verbatim because some of the language was somewhat ripe, Peter even for those who hang with politicians.

Warland around Portly man: “I thought he was going to retire. He ought to. My son says he looks like someone being treated for rigor mortis.”

Man with stethoscope around his neck: “Who? Your son?

Portly one: “No. Him out there in front.

Maybe he has retired. Hard to tell.”

Tall angular woman: “What is heaven’s name is he talking about now. That’s not on any script I read. He keeps maundering on like this, the press’ll rip him to pieces.”

Man with a turban: “Probably refugees again. We should be putting out a Full House sign.”

Oriental woman: “It’s like paying musical chairs. Shouldn’t we be moving or something? Who’s the fat guy at the end?”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Little man with glasses: “That’s his barber, his personal one.”

Native American: “He needs someone to straighten up the mess inside his head.

Why are they applauding? He hasn’t said anything yet. He hasn’t got to Isis yet, or whatever they’re calling it now.”

Man in a tuxedo: “They said I tidied up nice so I could come in. I’m supposed to be at my brother’s wedding. And they’ve lost my wife some place.”

Chubby woman: “Who’s that beside you?”

Tuxedo: “No idea. She keeps asking me if I know where there’s a bathroom. I don’t know how I got in here. They gave us fifty bucks each to stand here and be supportive. Of what? Not much fun. The funeral might’ve been better.”

Little man: “You realize the size of his pension when he quits? Life of Reilly just for a few years of talking balderdash!

What do you do here?”

Tall man with a saturnine appearance: “I’m his interpreter.”

Little’un: “Into French?”

Tall man: “No! Into English from the balderdash he insists on spouting when he gets off script.”

Tuxedo: “Any chance Donald Trump will turn up for this fiasco? If my wife spots him she’ll be all over him soonest.”

Turban: “He’s working on his run for President of the U.S. of A.years from now.

Chubby: ”We’ve only got to get to Labour Day!! Are we there yet? I’ve had enough.”

Wahl named new play-by-play voice of Kootenay Ice

Fans tuning in to Kootenay Ice broadcasts this winter finally know who to listen for.

On Friday, the Kootenay Ice along with the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group announced the hiring of Chris Wahl as the club’s new play-byplay broadcaster.

Wahl replaces longtime play-by-play Jeff Hollick, who in May announced he was leaving his post after 16 years behind the microphone in Cranbrook.

“We’ve been fortunate to have a radio partner with the energy and enthusiasm of The Drive 102.9 FM,” said Jeff Chynoweth, general manager and president of the Kootenay Ice, in a team release. “The addition of Chris to the radio broadcasts will only strengthen that relationship and will keep our fans connected all season long.”

Wahl’s name is likely a familiar one to hockey fans in Cranbrook as he has been the director of sales and public relations for the Kootenay Ice since August 2014 after coming over from the Surrey Eagles of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).

“I am very grateful for the opportunity to fulfill a long-standing dream of calling playby-play in the Western Hockey League,” Wahl said in a team release. “I look forward to sharing another exciting season of Kootenay Ice hockey with our fans both at home and on the road.”

Play-by-play is familiar ground for the native of North Vancouver, who has called more than 150 regular-season and playoff games in the BCHL as the voice of the Trail Smoke Eaters and Surrey Eagles from 2011 to 2014.

Prior to his time calling B.C. Junior A, Wahl got his start as the play-

“I am very grateful for the opportunity to fulfill a longstanding dream of calling play-by-play in the Western Hockey League.”

Chris Wahl by-play man for the Castlegar Rebels of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL).

Wahl will remain on with the Kootenay Ice as director of sales and public relations in addition to his new responsibilities of calling playby-play for all 72 Kootenay Ice regular-season games and playoff games on The Drive 102.9 FM this season.

“We had a lot of interest from across the continent for this position, which was understandably coveted,” said Leo Baggio, general manager of the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group Cranbrook/Fernie Division, in a Kootenay Ice team release. “We are elated that the best candidate was right here in our own backyard.”

Wahl studied broadcast journalism at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) prior to embarking on his play-by-play career.

On March 24, the Kootenay Ice and The Drive 102.9 FM reached a new three-year broadcasting rights agreement running through the upcoming 2015-16 season through 2017-18.

Jason Day claims PGA Championship CANADIAN PRESS

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. Jason Day led wire-towire Sunday at Whistling Straits to close out a record-setting PGA Championship and capture his first major title.

The 27-year-old Australian finished at 20under 268 to beat Jordan Spieth by three shots. Day is the first player to finish at 20 under in a major.

Day shot 5-under 67,

and never let Spieth get closer than two shots.

Branden Grace finished third and Justin Rose was fourth.

A nice ending to the major season for a player who has endured some close calls and his share of heartache.

At the U.S. Open in June, he fell while walking during the second round. He had vertigo symptoms. But he played through the weekend and actually

held a share of the lead after 54 holes before fading on Sunday.

At the British Open, he also was in the lead after 54 holes but ended up one shot out of a playoff.

He closed the deal this time.

This was Day’s 10th top-10 finish at a major.

His first came here, in Wisconsin, at the 2010 PGA. Earlier this week, Day said he knew if he kept putting himself in position, he’d eventually break through.

He was tearing up as he waited to hit the tapin putt that would seal the victory. He did it, then raised both fists and buried his face in his caddie’s shoulder.

His son, Dash, ran to the 18th green to celebrate and Day carried him off the green. Soon, he’ll cradle the Wanamaker Trophy.

Day is the fifth Aussie to win the PGA, and the first since Steve Elkington at Riviera in 1995.

Blue Jays knock off Yankees to avoid sweep Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

TORONTO - Thanks to a little luck and a lot of good pitching, the Toronto Blue Jays staved off a sweep at the hands of the New York Yankees.

Drew Hutchison turned in his second straight strong start, and the top of the lineup made the most of a ball getting lost in the sun as the Blue Jays beat the Yankees 3-1 Sunday at Rogers Centre.

Toronto cut New York’s lead in the American League East back down to a half-game

with seven games left between the division rivals.

In 6 2/3 innings, Hutchison allowed just four base-runners on three hits, including a solo home run. The much-maligned righthander with a 5-plus earned-run average struck out five to become the 14th pitcher in the majors to hit 12 victories this season.

Hutchison got there because the Blue Jays took advantage of their biggest break of the day, when Yankees left-fielder Carlos Beltran lost a fly ball in the sun in the third inning. Troy Tu-

lowitzki ended up on second with what was later scored a double.

An RBI double by Josh Donaldson got the Blue Jays on the board, and a two-run shot by Jose Bautista, his 28th home run of the season, broke open an inning that could’ve been over.

Base-running blunders kept the Blue Jays from doing any more damage, as did Yankees starter Luis Severino, who struck out a career-high nine in his third major-league start.

At 21, Severino became the youngest Yankees pitcher to strike out nine

or more since 20-yearold Ray Keating in 1914.

Hutchison helped the Blue Jays (65-54) make some more history of their own. He made it the 20th straight game that the starting pitcher allowed three or fewer earned runs, extending a franchise-record set Saturday.

The 24-year-old left to a rousing standing ovation from the sellout crowd of 46,792. Relievers Brett Cecil, Aaron Sanchez and Robert Osuna finished the Yankees (64-52) off to make the Blue Jays 15-3 since making a flurry of trades

in late July.

Notes - With an eighth-inning single, Edwin Encarnacion extended his hitting streak to 14 games, which matches a career high. ... The Blue Jays have Monday off before travelling to Philadelphia for a two-game series against the Phillies beginning Tuesday. ... The 1985 team that won the franchise’s first division title was honoured before the game, and the first 20,000 fans received a bobblehead featuring outfielders George Bell, Lloyd Moseby and Jesse Barfield.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Start approaching a situation involving your finances and another party. You have a special type of allure that encourages others to listen. Your vision will be well received. A close associate most likely will go along with an unusual idea. Tonight: Out with a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You come from a secure point of view. You will see a significant difference in perspective once you are willing to brainstorm with a partner. Somehow you will land at a midpoint that makes you both happy. Defer to others openly. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ability to tackle a problem and get ahead emerges. You will find that a different approach will work if you are able to come from a grounded point of view. Your creativity emerges and adds to the energy of today’s interactions. Tonight: Ever playful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might not be able to see a situation in the same way someone else sees it. A strong barrier could result. You are likely to see a personal matter blow up unless you are willing to listen and sympathize. Consider the alternative. Tonight: Stay close to home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Keep the brakes on spending, and be wise about investments.

With some guidance, you could be hitting a financial peak. You will discover the power of your words -- just see how people respond to you. Others naturally gravitate toward you. Tonight: Make it your treat.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You beam and others respond in kind. Be as forthright as possible. Discussions seem to be animated and full of information. Listen well. Use caution with overindulgence. You will be a lot more upbeat than you have been. Tonight: Make a purchase that you have been considering.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Keep your own counsel rather than get yourself in trouble by saying exactly what you are thinking. Your opinion could be transformed by the end of the day anyway. Regroup and handle a personal matter in the late afternoon. Tonight: Beam in whatever you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A meeting could have an excellent outcome for you. You will see a positive response, as long as you give others an entry point. Be more direct in a conversation. Touch base with a loved one at a distance whom you care about. Tonight: Play it cool.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) If you feel negative, do your best to let go of this feeling.

Try to have a discussion with a loved one. Take action if need be, rather than settle into a funk. By midday, you might decide to join some of your friends.

Your mood is likely to change as a result. Tonight: Don’t sulk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Connect, talk and research. You have most of the day to come

to a conclusion. A friend could be very difficult and touchy. Be smart. Don’t try to push this person just to get positive feedback. Leave him or her alone.

Trust your judgment. Tonight: Assume the lead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to someone at a distance, or be ready to dig in and do a lot of research. This person serves as a mentor for you. Remain optimistic and forthright when dealing with an unusual new topic. Make plans to take a vacation soon. Tonight: Relax at home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll want to listen to what is being shared. At first, it could seem as if everyone has a lot to say; however, you might determine that there is little of value being verbalized. Reach out to your trusted sources before making a move. Tonight: Make time for a favorite person.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our 60s. Recently, he hugged a new neighbor and kissed her on the cheek.

She is our age and divorced. We don’t know her well at all. I was shocked, embarrassed and angry.

I commented later, asking my husband if he hugged and kissed any of the other women (all married) in our group of friends. He thinks I’m being ridiculous.

But he has done similar things times in the past whenever there’s a new female around. It’s like he can’t help it. He becomes completely obsessed with the “new girl.”

We’ve been married a long time. I told him he should always act like a married man and that his flirtatious behavior makes me feel terrible and I don’t want to experience it anymore. I’m in shape and attractive. I’ve thought about doing something to make my husband jealous to see how he reacts. Right now, I’m fed up and considering a divorce so I can enjoy the rest of my life. What’s the deal? -- Fed Up in Music City Dear Fed Up: It sounds like your husband is feeling his age and finds that something “new” makes him feel young and frisky again. This is only threatening to your marriage if he acts on these impulses with more than hugs and cheek kisses, and the woman reacts with equal interest. The next step is entirely up to you.

You cannot force your husband to change unless he recognizes the need and is willing. So, knowing that these flirtations go no further, can you tolerate them? Is this the only sore spot in your marriage? Do the pros outweigh the cons? Would you be willing to get counseling (with or without him) to work on the issue? Do you really want to leave him over this? Often, the decisions we make when we are angry or frustrated turn out to be regretted.

Please give the situation a great deal of thought before you act, and consider your options carefully.

Dear Annie: I feel I must give “Carol in Columbus, Oh.,” one more word of wisdom to add to your good advice.

She said she wanted to start up her own small business, but her husband was very controlling when it came to money. Please tell her to make sure she sees a lawyer right from the start. She needs to be certain that this new venture she is starting with her own money, credit, sweat and tears remains her own property. There are ways to separate it from the controlling husband.

I know, because I started my own business seven years ago. My husband would not sign anything to help me in my new venture, so I did it all myself with my meager savings and a small gift from my mom. Now that the business is a big success he calls it “ours” and claims half of everything, even though he has not contributed a day of work or a dollar of investment. Carol should be smarter. -- Been There Done That Dear Been There: Whenever starting a business, legal advice is always a good idea. Thanks for the additional suggestion.

NEWS Local government auditor general problems confirmed Bl ack Press

The release of a spring survey of B.C. municipalities confirms the problems that led to the firing of B.C.’s first Auditor General for Local Government in March.

The Union of B.C. Municipalities surveyed the 17 local governments that had participated in former AGLG Basia Ruta’s reviews by March. All but one responded that AGLG staff and auditors lacked understanding of how local government operates in B.C. One community with RCMP service said the AGLG was “not quite sure how to assess our situation” because the municipality had little discretion over the terms of its policing contract.

The survey also found that high turnover in Rutia’s office hampered its performance audits. That was one of the factors that led to Ruta being fired, after she refused to cooperate with a

Surrey office and her supervising board began to emerge, and only one audit was completed in that time.

Acting Auditor General for Local Government Arn van Iersel review of her office’s functions.

Former B.C. auditor general Arn van Iersel was appointed acting AGLG in April and is working with the UBCM on its recommendations, including training of audit staff.

Hired to execute an idea proposed by Premier Christy Clark in her 2012 bid for the B.C. Liberal Party leadership, Ruta set herself a target of 18 audits in the first year. Clashes with staff at her

Private jobs fall, self-employment up The unemployment rate in B.C. held steady at six per cent in July, with a reduction in private-sector jobs offset by increased public sector employment and self-employment.

BC Stats reported that private sector employment fell by 4,500 jobs from June, while private sector jobs grew by 1,800 and the number of self-employed rose by 2,100. Compared to July 2014, self-employment was up by 9,800 while private sector employment was down 8,300.

B.C.’s unemployment rate tied with Alberta for third lowest in the country in July. Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent and Manitoba second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent.

B.C.’s commodity exports increased 9.1 per cent in June, with increases in forestry products, farm and fishing products and energy. Exports were up 12.8 per cent to the U.S. and 5.1 per cent to the rest of the world.

Trump talks to the media after arriving by helicopter to the Iowa State Fair.

A first: Trump releases an actual policy paper, and it’ll be controversial Alexander Panet ta Canadian Press

WASHINGTON - The bombast-heavy, details-light presidential campaign of Donald Trump has entered a new phase: that of releasing a few policy specifics spelling out how he’d govern.

For weeks, the reality-star-businessman has led Republican primary polls without any platform details on his website and he’s skated when asked about substance.

But in an indication that he intends his presidential run to be more than a mere celebrity stunt, he’s hired staff in early primary states and he released his first platform paper Sunday.

Cue the controversy.

The six-page paper on immigration threatens the Mexican government, the business community, and millions of families living in the U.S. under uncertain legal status.

It’s the kind of stuff that’s made him an early favourite in polls of Republican supporters, as yet another survey Sunday showed him with a double-digit lead over his next primary rival.

One section explains how he’d achieve an unlikely feat: build a multibillion-dollar wall across the U.S.’s southern border, and get the Mexican government to pay for it.

Trump says he’d apply financial pressure until the Mexicans pay up.

He says he’d impound cross-border remittance payments linked to illegal wages; hike fees for work visas for Mexican CEOs and diplomats, and potentially even cancel them; and increase fees for border-crossing cards and NAFTA worker visas from Mexico. ”The Mexican government has taken the United States to the cleaners,” says the Trump paper. ”They are responsible for this problem, and they must help pay to clean it up.”

The plan goes on like this for six pages.

He would triple the number of U.S. immigration officers; end jobs visas for foreign students; defund so-called sanctuary cities that shelter undocumented migrants; detain and deport undocumented migrants; suspend the granting of green cards until more unemployed Americans enter the work force; and, in one of his more

controversial proposals, end automatic citizenship for babies born in the U.S. Trump has also said he’d undo President Barack Obama’s executive orders, including one that granted residency rights to the children of people who entered the U.S. illegally.

Those actions would affect millions of people.

One immigration group panned Trump’s plan as an unconstitutional, ”nativist wish-list of ugly proposals” that would leave ”a moral stain on the fabric of this nation,” cripple the economy, and violate the guarantee of birthright citizenship promised under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

When pressed in an interview Sunday about the potential turmoil his plan would cause, Trump was unapologetic. He said that after booting people out, he’d subsequently assess applications to let some back in. ”They have to go,” Trump told NBC’s Meet the Press. ”Either we have a country or we don’t.”

The paper proposes an attitude shift, away from an immigration system that benefits the corporate class but not middle-class Americans: ”When politicians talk about ‘immigration reform’ they mean: amnesty, cheap labor and open borders... nothing more than a giveaway to the corporate patrons who run both parties.

Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first - not wealthy globetrotting donors.”

Over the weekend, Trump visited the Iowa state fair where he took kids for a ride on his helicopter, and was followed by selfie-snapping crowds and media crews.

Some reports noted that the campaign has ramped up its on-theground presence, with 10 paid staffers already touring the early primary state by bus and potentially putting to rest speculation that the Trump bid might never be anything more than a national news-media phenomenon.

Most serious political pundits say Trump can’t win the primary. They point to polls showing that many voters dislike him, and suggest that means his growth will stall before that of less-polarizing candidates.

But he’s No. 1 for now.
