More than 40 competitors took part in the Koocanusa Wakesurfing Challenge at Lake Koocanusa, August 22-23. Gabrielle Hockley of Cranbrook came first in the Amateur Women’s Surf category, placing ahead of Nicole Hudson from Calgary, who was ranked 4th in the world. Gabrielle has been invited to compete at world championships later this year in Arizona. In the Men’s Division, Isaac Hockley of Cranbrook placed second in the Amateur Men’s Surf category, just behind Rob Urlich of Calgary, who is ranked first in the world.
The vehicle of a missing Cranbrook man has been located, and RCMP say a deceased individual was also found nearby. Gordon Rice of Cranbrook was reported missing last week, having last been seen Aug. 20. Late on August 25, Cranbrook RCMP received a call from a local resident who had located Mr. Rice’s vehicle in a remote location in the Lamb Creek area. RCMP said in a press release that due to the time of the evening and
diminishing day light, police remained on scene overnight and then conducted a search at first light on August 26. “Police located a deceased individual nearby and continue to investigate the matter in conjunction with the BC Coroner’s Service,” the press release said. “ At this time police are not considering the death to be suspicious.” Police would like to thank the public for all of the tips that were called in with regard to this investigation.

It may strike one as surreal, but in the midst of an on-going awareness campaign about invasive species and an on-going battle against them, some of these species are for sale to gardeners in the East Kootenay. Biologist Cathy Conroy, the Terrestrial Invasive Species Co-ordinator with the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council (EKPIC), is setting out to bring light to this situation for both gardeners and horticulture retailers. She said the fact that some invasive species capable of causing harm are for
sale here is largely to due a lack of awareness and a lack of regulation in the horticulture industry. Baby’s breath, for example, is not listed as a “noxious weed,” which is the legal government designation for plants officially considered the enemy. However, just because a plant is not listed as noxious doesn’t mean it’s not invasive — a plant brought from somewhere else either intentionally or unintentionally — and capable of causing great harm to the environment.

Cranbrook roadwork being completed City pothole machine arrives, is tested satisfactorily
Arne Pe t rys hen
The City of Cranbrook is near the completion of its road paving program for the year. At council on Aug. 17, Mayor Lee Pratt said around town he’s heard tons of comments regarding the roadwork. “And they’re all good comments, they’re very pleased with it,” Pratt said. “So I commend the staff and all the work that was done on that.” Pratt also noted that the city welcomes a new addition to its road work roster, as the new pot hole machine has arrived. CAO Wayne Staudt said the machine has been tested and city staff has been happy with its performance.
Staudt echoed the mayor’s sentiment on the roads. “If you have been driving around the city, I’m sure you can see all the new paving,” Staudt said. “I know as a driver myself it’s noticeable. There are very noticeable sections of town that have had a major improvement as a result of these significant paving projects we’ve taken on this year.” Staudt said the project is drawing to a close, and if money is left over, the Engineering Department will come back to council with potential extra road work. “We might bring it back to you and see if we want to do some additional projects,”
Staudt said. Mayor Pratt brought up one issue — the road into the municipal campground. “I thought during the budget talks that we had that the road into the municipal camp ground was scheduled to be paved,” Pratt said. “It seems to me that I recall that the dollar figure was not that great. Then I thought what a welcome to our municipal campground — this beautiful campground — and they have to drive through this terrible chunk of road. And I remarked last year, all that equipment was right around the corner doing 15th (Avenue).” Pratt said it does not reflect
well on the city. “I’ve heard a lot of comments from people that stay there and drive through there, and the park operator they get lots of comments too that what a welcome this is,” Pratt said. “It’s embarrassing to be frank with it.” Staudt said he didn’t recall any staff at the city saying they would do it. “But maybe we did,” he said. He added that it could be that the road was meant to be paved by the contractor when some low-income housing went in. “So we might still be chasing that contractor to fulfill his obligations.”

“This is an incident where high winds combined with slopes allowed the fire to grow quite quickly,” said Jordan Turner, a fire information officer with the Southeast Fire Centre. “So it’s a lot to do with the area that it’s in, but we are expecting more high winds so it’s not to say it won’t grow more. “Right now there is a B.C.

list,” she added. Some weeds aren’t even in B.C. yet, but they’re headed our way.” Knotweed is an example of a plant that can be found for sale in horticulture shops in our region. The bamboo-like plant produces beautiful foliage, and can grow up to 10 metres high, given the right conditions. And it is immensely destructive. It’s roots grow 15 feet deep and 30 feet wide. No other plants can survive in the vicinity. “It will exploit any crack in cement or asphalt, and will cause damage to sidewalks, house foundations, pipes — any infrastructure,” Conroy said. Conroy sited the example of a Kimberley resident, who had knotweed spread to his property from a neighbour’s. “He sprayed it, he’s taken a blowtorch to it, he’s tried to dig it out — he just can’t get rid of it,” she said. Knotweed has become an immense problem in the United Kingdom — like a science fiction horror out of “The Day of the Triffids.” See more at www. mirror.co.uk/news/japanese-knotweed. “Knotweed is a big problem in the UK, it’s a big problem in the Lower Mainland, and it’s just arriving here,” Conroy said. “And it is for sale locally.” A part of the issue is that the horticulture industry is unregulated, Conroy said. “So whatever the distributors are pushing — something that’s beautiful, that’s trendy, that’s vigorous, that grows easily — the stores are pressured into taking their product.” Conroy added that many retailers are unaware that invasive seeds are unintention-
ally mixed in with seed mixtures. “For example oxeye daisy, and yellow toadflax are common seeds in almost all ‘wildflower’ mixes.
“Knotweed is a big problem in the UK, it’s a big problem in the Lower Mainland, and it’s just arriving here. And it is for sale locally.” Cathy Conroy EKIPC “These seed mixes typically list less than half of the ingredients, and up to 40 per cent of the seeds that germinate in the mixes have been found to be invasive and on prohibited or noxious weed lists of many states and provinces, and these plants are not included on the packaging.” There are many other examples of invasives that are for sale in the East Kootenay. Some species of spurges, for example, which can be extremely toxic to humans and animals. It can cause blistering and scarring on skin by removing the skin’s ability to filter sunlight. Mountain Bluet (for sale) is spreading through the alleys and roads of Kimberley. If it, or oxeye daisies, were to get into the alpine or subalpine areas, it could be disastrous, Conroy said. Oxeye daisy has already taken over Manning Provincial Park. Conroy knows that purple loosestrife has been purchased in the region. The EKIPC spent several days this summer pulling the weed out of Bummer’s Flats, home of the en-
dangered leopard frog. “Purple loosestrife will create a monoculture in wetlands,” Conroy said. “It can choke out wetlands, changing the water quality, dropping the water table, harming wildlife.” Tamarisk, on sale in the East Kootenay, is the most invasive plant in riparian areas It has wiped out natural vegetation along the Colorado River. “Bird populations have crashed,” Conroy said. “It’s been an environmental disaster. And as climate changes, 20 years from now it could be disastrous for the East Kootenay.” Conroy said this situation “is just something that’s opening up to our understanding. We’re asking for awareness on the part of the consumer and retailer, and a willingness for retailers to operate under best management practices and understanding the larger implications.” To this end, the EKIPC is offering a complete information package for home gardeners and retailers to research and educate themselves on the possible effects of plants they’re planting or carrying on their shelves. This includes the EKIPC’s “Plantwise” certification program, whereby retailers in the horticulture industry take steps to reduce the sale of invasives. Winderberry Nurseries is Windemere is one such local business getting its Plantwise certification. “They’re working with the Invasive Species Council of BC to eliminate invasive species from their stock,” Conroy said. “But even if the horticulture industry was required to inform customers about possible invasive or animal/ human health issues, that would be an improvement over the present unregulated free-for-all that the industry currently appears to be,” Conroy said. The EKPIC will be holding a series of workshops on invasive species this fall.

Local NEWS City looks to create asbestos registry Arne Petryshen
A letter of correspondence regarding asbestos prompted plans to create a registry of places asbestos is still located in within city-owned buildings. Council received the correspondence at the Aug. 17 meeting, from Phil Venoit, president of Vancouver Island Building Trades. It was addressed to the Prime Minister, Premiers, Members of Parliament, and municipal governments and brought forward concerns on the dangers of workers en-
countering asbestos in unexpected places as they do maintenance or renovation work. Council referred the information to Public Works for recommendation. Coun. Ron Popoff asked what Public Works would be reviewing and what might come out of it, if anything. “What I would expect is that we would come up with a register of buildings that we are aware of that have asbestos in them,” CAO Wayne Staudt replied. “We are aware there is
asbestos in this building. We do know some of it, we don’t know all of it — and same with some of our other buildings.” Staudt said they would create a registry and couldn’t see any problem with doing that. “It’s good information,” he said. In the letter, Venoit noted that while asbestos mining has been shut down and Canada is no longer exporting to developing countries fro processing, there is still the danger of encountering it in older buildings. “The proliferation of
products containing asbestos throughout the building construction industry over the past 75 and more years will likely go down in modern-day civilized history as one of our worst self-inflicted health care casualties, and it will not subside for many years to come. The best we can hope for is to mitigate its relentless wake,” Venoit wrote. “Therefore, we are calling on the Federal Government as well as all provincial and municipal governments to develop and establish a

In the past asbestos has been used in floor tiles, ceiling tiles, insulation, drywall, pipe and cladding. “We are proposing the Building Registry begin with all public buildings, our parliament, legislatures, office and administration buildings, schools, hospitals, city halls, and associated real estate and public work yards.”

Falling through the cracks L
Dementia is serious, but let’s not forget other mental illnesses
ike most who are in the final third of their life (statistically speaking) I tend to joke about one of the most common and fear-inducing signs of aging. It is a defense mechanism of course. Dementia is no laughing matter. Dementia is expected by experts to affect an increasing number of people around the world by doubling every two decades. It’s a startling statistic. But it is one that draws attention because people in positions of power tend to be on the older side of the population and they either know someone who is affected or fear that their increasing forgetfulness is a harbinger of worse things to come. If dementia is the current star among mental illnesses, it is far from the only one, and it should be courteous enough to share the stage with its cousins that affect younger people. The subject came up this week as I went through the police news with RCMP Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond. A number of mental health issues were cited as we scrolled through the week’s worth of files opened for each case. Hammond, who has spent the last 18 years in the Lower Mainland, has seen more than his share of police incidents in which mental illness have played a role, and his comments reflected the frustration often felt by those whose job it is to battle crime. In study of crimes committed by people with serious mental disorders, the American Psychiatric Association found that “only 7.5 per cent were directly related to symptoms of mental illness.” “Only” might be a peculiar word choice. “When we hear about crimes com-
mitted by people with mental illness, they tend to be big headline-making crimes so they get stuck in people’s heads,” said lead researcher Jillian Peterson, PhD. “The vast majority of people with mental illness are not violent, not criminal and not dangerous.” But if the proportion of crimes committed doesn’t seem high, I suspect that the frustration with having to deal with this particular class of “criminals” is very high. THIS IS Most of the policemen I THE LIFE know chose the field beLorne cause they have a sense of Eckersley justice and a true belief that policing makes our communities better. Their view of a criminal is a person who chooses to break laws to gain personal benefit. Those crimes — robbery, drug dealing, even violence — tend to fit that mould. But when a criminal act is committed by someone whose behaviour is dictated or permitted by mental illness, it is an entirely new ball game. Who wants to go to a crime scene and come up against an individual whose brain chemistry is interfering with rational thought, and who might not be in control of his or her own actions? A different set of skills is needed to deal with the situation, which is especially challenging because there is a broad range of mental illnesses, all of which present in their own ways. An educational course here and there is not likely to prepare one for the variety of responses a policeman might come across. It is now more than 30 years since the province, jumping on a North American trend, decided to shut down large mental health institutions, places that routinely produced horror stories about both treatment and behaviour. The closure phase
was the easy part. How to provide services to people with mental illnesses afterward was trickier, and in my estimation we have done a lousy job. Wander around the downtown core in most cities and you will come across people who suffer from depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders and a myriad of other conditions. Under the best of circumstances they might have a shot at living a more ordinary, productive life. But mental illness is also often associated with poverty, unemployment, homelessness and substance abuse, all complicating factors that make the medical issues more difficult to identify and deal with. These folks, through no fault of their own, tax systems, not least of which is policing. When I first began to write the police news more than a decade ago, I was astonished at the time and effort members of our local detachment devoted to one particular mentally ill woman. She was living on her own out in a rural area and regularly called police to report imaginary incidents. The acting commanding officer at the time told me about his efforts to connect her with mental health services and engage her family to get her some much needed help. And she wasn’t a criminal, just a generator of complaints that ate up policing time. Imagine how much more complicated things get when a mentally ill person turns to criminal activity to pay for drug habits or simply to get food, clothing and shelter. Dementia, we acknowledge, is a frightening and growing problem in our communities. But it is far from being the only one. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

news/features It happened this week in Cranbrook
Week August 23-29 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1901 Lost an eye ... “Bert” Richards was seriously injured by a broken belt. Last Thursday afternoon a belt broke at the Cranbrook Lumber company’s mill and Albert Richards, son of Syl Richards, was struck by a broken piece of the belt covering and seriously injured. One eye was knocked out and a gash cut across his forehead and bridge of his nose, necessitating several stitches. Young Richards was sawing and his father was just passing him to go to the lower part of the mill when the accident happened, and caught him as he fell. He was taken to the hospital and Dr. O ’Hagan summoned. The wounds were given attention and the happy discovery made that the skull had not sustained any fracture. It was necessary to take out the injured eye, and the operation was performed that evening. The accident was a most unfortunate one, and yet under the circumstances the results might have been far more serious. Bert has displayed good grit, and feels thankful that it was no worse. Early closing ... One of the Cranbrook merchants, speaking of the early closing movement said: “It has been shown that the movement is all right. No trade has been lost by the plan and the merchants and clerks have the evenings. There is only one thing to complain of and that is that once in a while some few get a little lax about closing on time. It is not fair for the others. If we have such an agreement all should stand together and keep the compact.” 1902 Welcome ladies … Dave Newell, Mrs. Griffith, Mrs. Galbraith and Mrs. Clark, of Fort Steele, were in town Saturday making purchases. These three ladies are the pioneers of South East Kootenay. Mrs. Griffith came to this country in 1857 and Mesdames Galbraith and Clark were among the early residents of Fort Steele when that town was the only supply point for a vast territory. It is a treat to enjoy the acquaintance of any of the three and listen to the reminiscences of the old days. And, what is more, what a lesson their physical condition would be to the average woman of these days? Although years have passed, and in the case of Mrs. Griffith, the three-score mark already a memory, yet they all are hale and hearty, and took the 25 mile ride as easily as if it had been a little walk in the park. It is such women that materially assist in making a new country. They inspire courage and culti-
vate energy. Undertaking and embalming ... To the citizens of Cranbrook and readers of The Herald out of town we wish to announce that we have just received a complete stock of the latest and best goods in undertaking. In making this announcement we extend our thanks for the liberal patronage accorded us since starting business a year ago as the Koot enay Furniture Company. From the expressions of satisfaction and praise since then by our customers we feel that we have merited the appreciation of the public in supplying them with high class furniture. And now in fine undertaking and embalming we are sparing no pains to place this branch of our business on the same high plane. Poor roads … The Armstrong Advertiser says that one reason why there are poor roads and trails in British Columbia is the fact that too often the government employs road foremen who know more about pulling beer corks than building roads. The Herald might add that it believes more money
is squandered on road and trail building than in any other branch of government service. The work done, as a rule, costs too much, and has to be done over too many times, owing to bad management. Ouch … E. Elwell of Kimberley, was in town Saturday evening on his way to Moyie. He got tangled up with Harry Drew’s bull dog Saturday afternoon and the animal lacerated the calf of one of his legs in bad shape. There was no doctor in Kimberley or Marysville, and Rev. Urquhart, the Presbyterian minister, played the Good Samaritan and sucked the wound to extract any poison that might have been inserted by the dog’s fangs. When the train arrived in Cranbrook Mr. Elwell had Dr. King cauterize the wound. Work injury … George Brown, foreman of the King Mill, broke an arm last Friday by being struck by a board off the edger. He laid off until Monday and then went to work again. Some men would have quit for three months under the same circumstances. 1903
Broke his leg ... Lister Flett, of Elko, met with a serious accident last Sunday near his ranch. He was driving up a bunch of horses, and riding close to the drove, one of the horses kicked him. He was back in the hills nearly seven miles from home and realizing that he was hurt, he started for home. The leg that had been kicked, became so painful finally, that he concluded to get off his horse to rest it. When he attempted to step on the ground he discovered that the leg was broken just above the ankle. The horse he was riding was a wild one, and broke loose, leaving him in the woods quite a distance from home. He managed to crawl to the roads, and after waiting for some time, was picked up by R. Hirtz, who happened to drive along that way and took him to Elko. Dr. King was telegraphed for, and got there the next morning and set the fracture, and brought the victim to the St. Eugene Hospital that day. Closed for sickness … The schools were closed last Monday, owing to several cases of scarlet fever in town.

Pancake flipping for FASD awareness Angela Treharne Axis Family Resources
A pancake breakfast at Rotary Park next week will raise awareness of the health risks to an unborn child when the mother drinks alcohol. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Awareness Day is an international annual event that calls on communities to support women in their efforts to refrain from drinking while pregnant.
To symbolize the ninth months of pregnancy, at 9.09 a.m. on September 9, a group will gather at Spirit Square to ring bells. This will be followed by speeches from former Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski and others who are involved with supporting people with FASD. FASD is the most common cause of developmental disabilities in North America. Despite 40 years of evidence
that alcohol exposure causes irreversible brain damage and a wide range of birth defects, one in 13 pregnant women report drinking alcohol during the last 30 days. FASD Awareness Day was started by parents of adopted children with FASD in Toronto in 1999. It is now marked across the world with the ringing of bells on the ninth day of the ninth month each year.

Philp leads Ice contingent headed for NHL camps Veteran forward off to Philadelphia Flyers camp; Descheneau, Faith, Martin, Reinhart & Valiev also head for pro opportunities Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
For more than three years, Luke Philp has gone about his business, providing quiet leadership and quality offensive production despite not always seeing his fair
share of the spotlight. Relative to the likes of Sam Reinhart and Jaedon Descheneau, Philp has been somewhat of an unsung hero for the Kootenay Ice over the course of his
time in Cranbrook. But that’s about to change. “Luke is not only a good hockey player, he’s a better person,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of

the Kootenay Ice, Wednesday afternoon. “Like a lot of players, they come in young boys and leave as young men. Luke is no exception to that rule. “He’s been the leader of our hockey club on and off the ice…For three years, he’s played behind Sam Reinhart and without the fanfare that Sam or Jaedon Descheneau had. He’s quietly put up some big numbers for our hockey club and he will be expected to be a leader on our hockey club this year moving forward.” In 225 career WHL games -- all with the Ice -- Philp has amassed 82 goals and 206 points. During the 2014-15 season, he served as an alternate captain to Reinhart, and the significance of his presence rang true as he received the Players Award (MVP

Cranbrook cowgirl takes top prize at Calgary Stampede 4-H Rodeo Taylor Holt claims buckles in goat roping, breakaway roping en route to overall senior High Point title
Taylor Rocc a
The Calgary Stampede is the pinnacle of rodeo competition and at the youth level, the Calgary Stampede 4-H Rodeo is just as special for the next generation of future rodeo stars. The 18th Calgary Stampede 4-H Rodeo was hosted Aug. 22 and 23 at the Agrium Western Event Centre in Calgary and when the final buzzer sounded, a Cranbrook cowgirl was crowned champion. Atop her horse ‘Diesel,’ Cranbrook’s Taylor Holt, 16, claimed first place in Senior High Point competition at the annual youth rodeo event. “I was shocked,” Holt said Wednesday afternoon. “I didn’t think I’d be winning the High Point. The points add up through the two days and I wasn’t really keeping track of them. I was shocked when I won the ring for High Point. “It was pretty amazing to experience going there and to compete on the [Calgary Stampede] grounds. I didn’t think I’d be winning it, getting the all-around or even winning any events. But I guess practice pays off.” With her victory,
Holt was presented with a pair of coveted Calgary Stampede 4-H Rodeo belt buckles -- one each
“It was pretty amazing to experience going there and to compete on the the [Calgary Stampede] grounds.” Taylor Holt for her victories in goat tying and breakaway roping -- as well as a championship ring for the overall High Point title. “It’s definitely not something you can just buy in a store,” Holt said of her newly acquired buckles. “You have to earn it.” In goat tying, Holt crushed the competition, roping her billy in 8.46 seconds, nearly two seconds quicker than second-place finisher Sydney Vanden Berg (10.33 seconds). “For all rodeo events, smooth is faster than just trying to rush through,” Holt said. “For my [goat-tying] run, I just tried to stay
Los Angeles facing early challenges in bid for 2024 Olympic Games Michael R. Blood Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - Facing an early test of support at home, Los Angeles’ 2024 Olympics plan received a guarded reception from the City Council, where members raised concerns from the potential impact on neighbourhoods. Organizers Tuesday released the first detailed budget for the Games, which calls for staging events from Santa Monica Beach to Hollywood. With little time to review scores of documents, the Council Wednesday delayed at least until Friday a vote on giving Mayor Eric Garcetti authority to execute agreements linked to the city’s bid. “What protections do we have? Is this going to be a blank check?” Councilman David Ryu asked after the meeting. Councilman David Ryu said he loved the games but had many questions about financing and how events would impact neighbourhoods already beset by gridlock. The tentative plan calls for $6.4 billion in public and private spending, ending with a $161 million surplus.
focused…A smooth dismount and trying not to rush through my tie while making it all flow together. In breakaway roping, Holt was once again dominant, capturing her calf in 5.7 seconds. She was one of only two competitors to successfully snag her beast, with Jonathon Wrubleski finishing second with a time of 7.12 seconds. For the Cranbrook native, her focus remains largely the same, regardless of what event she’s competing in. “The same concept of being smooth [is important],” Holt said. “For breakaway roping, it’s better to have a good shot. You’re not just going to chuck your rope out there whenever the cow’s in front of you. “You should be able to see your calf through your rope [as you’re swinging it] and then it’s right there instead of way out in front of you or way too close.” In addition to top prizes in goat tying and breakaway roping, Holt claimed third in pole bending (24.95 seconds) and fourth in steer daubing (2.16 seconds). She rounded out her weekend with a sixth-place
finish in barrel racing (18.87 seconds). This was the very first 4-H competition for Holt, who, along with her younger sister Colby, has been training locally with Jody Savage. Colby also attended the Calgary Stampede 4-H Rodeo and found success of her own, finishing third in Intermediate High Point. A freshly-minted 4-H champ, Holt has been working on her rodeo skills for about four years and kicked started her summer by riding at the Kids’ Fun Days, put on by the Pineridge Roping Club. “My focus for rodeo is team roping, I’m a header,” Holt said. “I hope to continue on with that and get better with working my horse.” While she might be a few years young for a full-on ride at the Calgary Stampede, Holt said she’s set on competing in as many rodeo events as she can in the coming years. If she continues to work hard and claim buckles the way she did this weekend, perhaps Holt will find The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth well within sight of her and her rope.

Philp eager for Flyers camp, ready for expanded leadership role with Ice Continued from page 8 “It’s pretty exciting to be a leader in that situation. Obviously, it might be a little challenging at the start with a younger squad, but I think we can work to become a good team.” Flash back to 2014. Reinhart, Descheneau, Tanner Faith and Rinat Valiev all end up selected at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Meanwhile, Philp is left untouched in his first year of eligibility, despite a stellar 31-goal, 77-point season with the Ice. “I really thought he was going to get drafted late, two years ago in
Philadelphia [at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft],” Chynoweth said. “For whatever reason, he didn’t.” Despite going unselected, Philp didn’t go unnoticed by NHL scouts. In September 2014, the Canmore, Alta., native attended rookie camp with the Toronto Maple Leafs before returning to Cranbrook where he posted a career high 82 points in 71 games with the Ice. Despite once again putting up career numbers, Philp was dealt a hand of disappointment for the second
consecutive season as he was passed over at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft in Florida.
Blending speed, agility, soft hands and a strong work ethic, Philp’s efforts did earn him a summer invite to Philadelphia Flyers Development Camp from July 7 to 12 in Voorhees, N.J.
Flyers’ brass liked enough of what they saw from the 5-foot-10,
“Hopefully it’s a case where he continues knocking down those doors and gets an opportunity.” Jeff Chynoweth Kootenay Ice President & GM on Luke Philp 181-pound pivot that he earned himself an invite to the team’s rookie camp this September, with an opportunity to further sell his skills to a team looking to build
depth within its organization. “The Flyers contacted me before the [2015 NHL] draft saying they were interested in me,”
Philp said. “If I slipped through the draft they said they’d really want me to come to camp. It’s nice they’ve shown a lot of interest. I’m pretty excited for the opportunity. “Rookie camp last year in Toronto, you were kind of thrown
right into the fire playing games and stuff like that. The [Flyers] summer development camp was...not as intense, so to speak. I’m expecting [rookie camp] to be a lot more intense because guys are competing for spots on rosters.” Philp is set to depart for Philadelphia on Sept. 12, and he isn’t the only Kootenay Ice affiliated player headed for professional opportunities this fall. Descheneau (St. Louis Blues), Faith (Minnesota Wild), Reinhart and Valiev (Toronto Maple Leafs) are set to attend their respective NHL training camps, while another 20-yearold, Jon Martin, attends
Vancouver Canucks rookie camp on a tryout basis. Before his trip to the big show, Philp will report to the Kootenay Ice, where fitness testing is scheduled for Aug. 30 and training camp officially opens Aug. 31. “Luke Philp will be one of the premier 20-year-olds in the Western Hockey League this year,” Chynoweth said. “Obviously a lot of people will be looking at him for a free agent contract if he continues to put up the numbers he has in the past. “Hopefully it’s a case where he continues knocking down those doors and gets an opportunity.”

NEW YORK - Evan Gattis hit two home runs, Collin McHugh excelled once again and the Houston Astros exceeded last season’s win total, beating the New York Yankees 6-2 Wednesday. The AL West leaders improved to 71-57, a year after going 70-92. With 34 games left on the schedule, the Astros already have achieved their best season since 2010. The Yankees have lost five of seven, a slide that’s cost them first place in the AL East. McHugh (14-7) kept up a recent run of ace pitching, both for himself and the team with the top ERA in the league. Houston has won seven of nine, not permitting more than two runs in any game. McHugh shut out the Yankees until Didi Gregorius hit a two-run homer in the seventh. He outpitched Michael Pineda (9-8) for the second time this year, and has allowed just seven runs in his last five starts.

Distillery boasts colourful spirits and flavours Breanne Massey Invermere Valley Echo
There’s no shortage of ideas brewing in the East Kootenay for a smooth taste to toss down your gullet. Kimberley locals Wade Jarvis and Erryn Turcon recently opened Bohemian Spirits, a new craft distillery, to push hand-crafted cocktails regionally sourced ingredients to the region. “We love where we live, and think it’s one of the best spots with some of the best people in the world,” said Turcon. “We wanted to do our part to add a little more good cheer here, so we started down the road of distilling some uncom-
Teck Coal faces charges Leah Scheitel The Free Press
Teck Coal has been notified of charges in relation to a 2012 incident at its Elkview operation. The charges have been filed under the Environmental Management Act and the Fisheries Act. “Teck has been charged under the Environmental Management Act and Fisheries Act and that’s in relation to a discharge of water containing sentiment as well as monitoring, reporting and construction practices,” said Chris Stannell, Teck’s senior communications specialist. Stannell said that they are taking the charges “very seriously” and have reviewed the incident that caused the charges. “We have thoroughly reviewed the incident that took place in 2012 and we have taken a number of steps to prevent a reoccurrence,. According to Stannell, “there was no human health risk associated with the 2012 incident at Elkview Operations and no indication of long-term adverse impacts to the environment.”
monly tasty spirits.” The flavour of Bohemian Spirits is focused on making each drink as unique as the people from the East Kootenay by using a wide variety of versatile products. “There are lots of drinks that are devoid of taste or character, made in industrial plants the size of pulp mills,” said Jarvis. “We’re small and versatile and that means we can make products that are remarkable and distinct. The Kootenays and Rocky Mountains are a distinct region. We want our spirits to reflect that.” The distillery began making Vagabond Vodka early this sum-
mer and has begun distributing it throughout the Kootenay region. It is available at select private stores and farmers’ markets. “Our vodka’s wheat comes from Creston, and the forthcoming gin’s botanicals are a unique collection of some of the finest natural herbs and plants our region has to offer,” said Jarvis. “We’re fortunate to live in an area that is ecologically diverse. It’s exciting to use the flavours as an expression of where we live.” For more information about the distillery or future tasting events, visit www.BohemianSpirits.com.

Creative Ways to Recycle Leaves easier to come by than straw. Use a few pieces of straw around the neck and hand areas of the scarecrow for visual effect. Tie off with twine and display your scarecrow.
Leaves cascading down
from trees indicate the arrival of autumn. However, colorful and awe-inspiring autumn leaves can be a hazard if left to lie on the ground too long. Fallen leaves form a dense insulator to protect trees’ roots and prevent competing plants from growing. Decomposing leaves also provide nutrients for the tree. But wet leaves can be a safety hazard and leaves left on the lawn through the winter can pose a threat to the grass. These are just a couple of reasons why so much effort is placed on leaf clean-up in the fall. The following are some creative ways to recycle leaves that fall from your trees in the weeks to come. · Mulch: Shredded leaves can make for a great amendment to fertilizer for garden beds and even the lawn. Leaves lying on the grass can be mulched into small pieces with a mulching mower so they don’t choke the blades of grass. Leaves also can be broken down with a string trimmer, a
leaf blower that has a vacuum function or a commercial shredder/ chipper. Add the shredded leaves to a compost pile or use them to fill container plants before adding regular potting soil.
arrives so that the soil underneath can get the sunlight and water it needs to thrive. Leave some leaves in the yard so that animals can use them as nesting material and line their dens for the winter.
· Insulation: Collect leaves to mound over delicate perennial plants and shrubs. The leaves will add more warmth to the soil and may help plants make it through harsh winters. Just remove the leaves slowly when spring
· Stuffing: Create whimsical scarecrows as part of your autumn decoration scheme. Gather older clothes that you no longer use and stuff the sleeves of shirts and the legs of pants with leaves, which are less expensive and

autumn color. Preserve favorite leaves with a lamination machine or by sealing them between heated sheets of waxed paper. Cut out the leaf shapes and use for hanging window decorations.
· Bedding: Chicken owners can use fallen · Recreation: Leaves leaves as bedding in have long been favorite their chicken coops. Dry toys for children, who leaves also may create more comfortable and drier conditions for goats and other livestock. Goats may look to recently fallen leaves as a nutritious food source. Gather the leaves and let the goats munch before you further rake and compost the leaves.
eagerly await jumping into large piles of fallen leaves. Fill paper bags with leaves and draw a target on the front. Let kids test their skill aiming for the targets. Children can camouflage their clothing with leaves and masking tape and have a more intense session of “hide and seek.”
· Decorations: Natural leaves can be used as decorations both inside and outside a home. String freshly fallen leaves together and wrap them around a grapevine wreath for a rustic door decoration. Leaves can be placed in clear vases and put on display for a cheap way to showcase some

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 27-year-old woman and have been verbally invited to a few weddings this year. For one, we were told to “save the date” a year in advance. I never received an actual invitation and their wedding was last weekend. The pictures are popping up on Facebook. The second wedding, the bride and I were close, then had a falling out, then sort of made up and she expressed verbally that she wanted me to attend her wedding. I have dinner with her every few months, but neither of us has made a big effort to spend more time together. Her wedding is coming up soon. Last month, I saw her “save the date” photos pop up on Facebook, but I did not receive one personally, nor have I received an invitation. Am I required to attend? I honestly don’t want to. The third invitation is for a couple that I am good friends with. The groom recently texted that he expects me to be at their wedding in September, but I have not received any “save the date” or invitation yet. The bride made a Facebook page last year and said if people wanted to come, we should send her our addresses. Should I send her my address now or is it too late? I originally thought it was just for her family. Is everything done on Facebook now? Does no one send out paper invitations or keep a guest list? What is my responsibility when a person verbally expresses that I should attend, or posts something on Facebook saying I should “come to the wedding”? -- Invitationally Challenged Dear Challenged: We can understand your confusion. Paper invitations are still appropriate. A “save the date” notice is not an invitation. A verbal expression is not an invitation. Facebook notices are unreliable and informal, but if the bridal couple considers this an invitation, you may, also. And someone who says, “Send me your address if you want to be invited,” is too lazy to acquire your address and send a personal invitation. She expects her guests to do all of the work. But if you want to send her your address, even at this late date, that is entirely up to you. And of course, if you don’t wish to attend a wedding, it’s perfectly OK to RSVP with your regrets. Dear Annie: This is regarding the letter from “Outraged Mother,” whose birthmother was reposting pictures of her children on Facebook without permission. The one suggestion you didn’t mention is to drop social media and share photos via text with close friends only. I assure you my life became much better after I did exactly that. Social media was fun for a short time, but then it seemed to become a competition about who had the better lives, then a way to communicate passively, and then I watched marriages get destroyed. Some things are meant to be private. (Love your column.) -- J. Dear J.: Not too many people are willing to disconnect from social media once they have learned to depend on it for updates about friends and family. We commend your self-discipline.

Barb, a loving wife as well as, Mom, Granny, Great Granny and Good Friend, passed away suddenly on Sunday, August 23, 2015 at home in her favourite spot by her flowers at 73 years of age. Barb was born on February 10, 1942 in Edmonton, Alberta. She will be fondly remembered by her family and friends. In her youth she loved playing for the Marysville Go Goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Softball Team and had many fond memories of the road trips with her teammates many of whom remain life-long friends. Her careers as the Editor to the Kimberley Bulletin and as a Canada Post Letter Carrier made her very familiar with all of Kimberley and Marysville where she was a lifetime resident. Her retirement years were spent loving her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, perfecting her painting and writing skills, golfing and gardening. She loved being outside whether it be enjoying the flowers and birds in her backyard or camping at any remote location in the Kootenays. She never missed an opportunity to gaze at the stars or watch the clouds go by. She loved every moment of life and will be greatly missed by all. Barbara is survived by her loving husband of 56 years Larry Foster; son Clayton Foster; and his children Jacqueline (Jamie) Smithson and Shailynn; and Jacquelineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children Everett and Whitney; daughter Marjorie (Peter) Wilder; and their children Rebecca and Ashley Wilder.

In honour of the Theotokos T Anastasia Bartlet t
he Orthodox Church has just commemorated the death of Mary, Jesus’ mother, known as the Dormition of the Theotokos (God-bearer or Mother of God). This event is not found in the Gospels, but in the ancient traditions of the Church. It is one of our major feasts, beginning August 1 with a two week fast which ends on August 15, the Feast Day on August 15 and continuing to Aug 21. Recognizing this day speaks to the importance and place of Mary within the church as well helping us to understand the nature of her Son. After we became Orthodox, we continued to work with a protestant youth program. One evening was a ‘dress up as your favourite Bible character’ night. One of our daughters chose to dress as Mary. When it came time for everyone to say who they were, she said she was “Mary, the Mother of God”. She was quickly corrected by another adult worker, “You mean Mary, the Mother of Jesus”. Early Christians believed in the Trinity; God the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. The Orthodox Church defines the Trinity as three divine persons who share one essence and are coeternal. There never was a time when any of the persons of the Trinity did not exist. God is outside of time and yet the three natures act within time and throughout history. God created man in His image so man has three natures; body, soul, and spirit. Our body is comparable to the Son. Our soul is comparable to the Father, and our spirit is comparable to the Holy Spirit. Each of us is one man with three natures. The concept of the Trinity is not readily understood by many. (The Orthodox acknowledge this and call it a mystery of God, one of many.) Some say Mary gave birth to the man Jesus who was later endowed with the Christ Spirit. Others will call Jesus a great teacher or prophet, someone with special insight. Others will say He is only the Son of God believing Jesus to be separate from God and venturing into dangerous territory of polytheism (Christ as a lesser god). All these vague understandings make Christ more than a man but less than God.

ple, who said Mary should be called Christotokos, meaning “Christ bearer”. This restricted her role to being only the mother of “Christ’s humanity” and not his divine nature. Nestorius’ view was condemned by the Council as heresy, since it was dividing Jesus into two distinct persons, one who was Son of Mary, and another, the divine nature, who was not. The Council concluded although Jesus has two natures, human and divine, these are eternally united in one personhood. So since Jesus is God incarnate, Mary was

Mary gave birth to a child who was fully man, but also fully God. Jesus appeared to be a great teacher and prophet because He was God speaking directly to His creation. Jesus was the Son of God because everyone has both mother and father and He had no earthly father. The term Theotokos, God bearer, had been used unofficially in the early years of the Church. It was officially recognized in 431 at third Ecumenical Council in Ephesus, to counter Nestorius, then Patriarch of Constantino-

Mary Mother of God
known as the Mother of God and entitled ‘Theotokos’. This does not suggest Mary was coeternal with God, or that she existed prior to God. The title says more about the nature of Christ than it does His mother. Even so, Mary was the means God chose to enter His Creation. God took flesh from a woman and became man. As the ancient Church hymn states, “He whom the entire universe could not contain was contained within your womb, O Theotokos.” Mary helps define the Church. Mary’s role in God’s plan for salvation refutes complete patriarchal and masculine authority. She is the second Eve, who did not disobey God. She is the first Christian and mother of all Christians. She is one of the first to know of His resurrection and tradition says she was carried into heaven by her Son at her Dormition. She invites all into the love of Christ. “True Theotokos, we magnify you.”

MORLEY, ALBERTA, Canada - An official with a southern Alberta reserve says he supports fed-up band members who charged drivers a toll this week to detour around a fatal crash. Ken Christensen is tribal administrator with the Stoney Nakoda First Nation along the Trans-Canada Highway west of Calgary. He says construction has created traffic jams since June and band members posted at the reserve’s main entrance have been waving drivers off private property.
On Monday, following a crash that killed an 86-year-old woman, RCMP rerouted vehicles to a public highway through the reserve, but some cars ended up on reserve roads. Christensen says he has heard that some members pocketed tolls of $10 or $20, although motorists weren’t forced to pay and could have taken the proper detour. He says some people may not agree with charging money after an accident, but his concern is for the people in the crash, not drivers who wanted to save time.
Canada’s doctors want parents to give schools proof of child’s immunization Canadian Press
HALIFAX - The Canadian Medical Association says school officials should be able to ask parents for proof that their children have been vaccinated. A resolution passed Wednesday at the association’s annual general meeting in Halifax calls on governments to authorize elementary and secondary schools to require parents to declare their child’s immunization status. The resolution also calls for public health officials to have discussions
with parents if their children are inadequately immunized. CMA president Cindy Forbes says the proposal does not call for mandatory vaccination because doctors realize people don’t want to be told what to do. But Forbes says the gathering of information is critical in order to protect children in the event of an infectious disease outbreak. She says the CMA is looking for federal leadership in establishing a national registry of immunizations.

Fires, forests high on local government agenda Tom Fletcher Black Press
As mayors and councillors from across the province prepare to gather in Vancouver for their annual September convention and meetings with the B.C. cabinet, the state of B.C. forests and the threat of fires is top of mind. A resolution up for debate from Premier Christy Clark’s constituency of West Kelowna calls on the province to take the lead on forest fuel management, directly funding and managing it for private as well as public land. It notes that despite high costs and widespread damage from the 2014 forest fire season, the province’s Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative excluded operational activities and was restricted to financing community protection plans. The program spent $62 million between 2004 and 2014 to assist local governments reduce interface
fire risk. Applications for fuel projects were halted last year when the budget was spent, and this past May the forests ministry put another $5 million in, for projects on municipal or provincial land only. The province maintains that fuel projects on private land are best left to local governments to coordinate with their public land programs. In the wake of beetle losses and reduced timber harvest limits, Williams Lake, Quesnel, 100 Mile House and Wells are calling for the province to improve certainty on the working forest land base. Their resolution calls for the province to “deliver the full allowable cut allowed under the BC Timber Sales program” and “complete a science-based inventory of available timber supply.” Forests Minister Steve Thomson said in an interview the province’s $80 million increase in inventory funding over 10 years has been fo-
cused on areas hardest hit by pine beetle infestation. “I’m confident that we have significantly improved information that is going into the timber supply reviews and timber supply analysis,” Thomson said. Log exports is a perennial issue of concern to coastal communities. The latest resolution from the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District notes that log exports increased 65 per cent between 2010 and 2013, with 90 per cent of exports from the B.C. coast. Their resolution calls for a review of log export policy, which requires logs for export to be advertised so local mills have the option of bidding before export is approved. Hundreds of mayors, councillors and regional district directors will converge on downtown Vancouver for the UBCM convention Sept. 21-25.

Hay producers struggling to fill demand for animal feed.
Feed prices go up during drought C anadian Press
MILLARVILLE, Alta. Hay producers are struggling to fill the demand for animal feed from western livestock producers hit by this year’s drought. Cattle ranchers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are facing shortages and looking
for supplies to get through the fall and winter. Bob Seaman of Valley Hay and Cattle south of Calgary says prices have risen and he has a waiting list of 300 producers looking for feed. He says it’s a bit of payback for hay growers after years of high fuel prices and low returns.
Brian Perillat, manager for the Canfax division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, says hay prices have more than doubled from what they were a year ago. He says that’s been somewhat offset by near-record beef prices, which make the extra feed costs easier for cattle producers to handle.
First Nation asserts right to northern B.C. island slated for LNG plant C anadian Press
LELU ISLAND, B.C. Some members of a north coast First Nation are gathering on a small island near Prince Rupert, B.C., to protest plans for a liquefied natural gas project. Members of the Lax Kw’alaams band are preparing to set up tents and carry out other activities on Lelu Island, which
they claim as traditional Tsimshian territory. They urge other members of the band to join them, in a protest that coincides with Pacific Northwest’s launch of investigative work on an LNG plant proposed for the island. Prince Rupert Port Authority spokesman Michael Gurney confirms Pacific Northwest
wants to check geotechnical conditions, and expects work to continue until November. The First Nation and SkeenaWild, a conservation initiative devoted to protecting the Skeena River, oppose any development on Lelu Island because of concern for eelgrass beds, which are vital for healthy marine environments.
SPOKANE, Wash. - Smoke from big wildfires burning east of the Cascade Range hurt air quality Wednesday and hampered efforts by crews battling the flames in Washington state. Smoky conditions grounded helicopters and airplanes that had been fighting the fires, and air quality was rated as unhealthy for some people in Spokane County, which has nearly 500,000 residents. Crews battling a 262-square mile blaze near the town of Republic were also battling smoke as well as flames, fire spokesman Donnie Davis said. “Everybody up here is rubbing their eyes,” Davis said. “It’s brutal.”
Davis said the cause of the fire remained under investigation. A wildfire in Okanogan - the largest blaze ever recorded in the state - grew to nearly 438 square miles and heavy smoke also grounded air resources, fire spokesman Rick Isaacson said. “We’re still socked in,” Isaacson said. “There’s maybe one mile of visibility.” So far, officials have counted 40 homes and 40 outbuildings destroyed by the blaze, Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said. The fire is about 17 per cent contained by more than 1,300 firefighters. Rogers said a forecast calling for highs in the 70s and rain in the next few days was good news. “It is looking better for us,” he
said. The U.S. is in the middle of a severe fire season with some 11,600 square miles scorched so far. “You can imagine how stretched thin everybody is,” said Dan Dallas, deputy incident commander of the Okanogan fire. “We’re all working without the resources that in a normal year which I don’t think there is such a thing anymore - that we might have.” So many fires are burning in Washington state that officials summoned help from fire managers in Australia and New Zealand. They also got 200 U.S. troops from a base in Tacoma in the first such use of active-duty soldiers in nine years.
Alberta premier says revenues could be down more than previously predicted C anadian Press
CALGARY - Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says continued oil-price volatility could be affecting the province’s bottom line even more than the former Tory government predicted. The NDP premier isn’t sharing much about what might be in the 2015-16 budget when it comes down in October. But she does says keeping on top of oil prices remains a priority. The price per barrel hovered around US$60 when Notley’s New Democrats were elected
in May, but has since fallen to below US$40 a barrel. The budget introduced but never passed by the Progressive Conservatives under Jim Prentice last March predicted a record $5-billion deficit for the current fiscal year. Notley wouldn’t say after a byelection rally on Tuesday night what Albertans will still see in the budget. “Our revenues have gone down perhaps more than what the original Prentice budget projected,” explained Notley. “At the same time, we need to ... pre-
serve those important public services for those Alberta families.” Notley was at a rally for Calgary-Foothills candidate Bob Hawkesworth and said her government is focused on figuring out the final numbers. “Those kinds of details will be coming out in the days and the months to come as we get together and introduce the budget,” she said. “I’m not going to announce the budget today, because we’re going to announce the budget at the end of October.” Notley suggested the
government remains responsible for carving itself out of any mess volatile crude prices create. “We would not be doing our job if we did not look at where we could do that, while at the same time preserving and protecting frontline services,” she said. “We’re seeing tremendous volatility with the price of oil, so what we’re going to do is keep an eye on that and look at what the projects are, look at where our opportunities for savings are, and ... try to find the right balance.”

In Duffy scandal, only one man was ever persona non grata Jennifer Ditchburn Canadian Press
OTTAWA - What to make of a senior member of Stephen Harper’s staff chatting with a witness in the courtroom corridors of the politically charged trial of Mike Duffy? The Conservative campaign said Wednesday it couldn’t speculate on what current director of issues management Nick Koolsbergen was saying to his predecessor Chris Woodcock, who was in the midst of testimony in the Ontario Court of Justice. “Mr. Koolsbergen was there to take notes, just like everyone else,” wrote campaign spokesman Stephen Lecce, responding Wednesday to an email sent to Koolsbergen. Still, the hallway tetea-tete is consistent with one element of the scandal - Mike Duffy remains the only true persona non grata in the Conservative party. Other Conservatives involved have been kept inside the fold, even receiving promotions, with only one staffer, Nigel Wright, ever repudiated for his role in the coverup.
Harper has repeatedly laid the blame for the coverup at the feet of Duffy and Wright, the “boss,” refusing to entertain the notion that others should bear any responsibility. “(Duffy) should have repaid the money when I told him so. He did not do so, and when I found out he did not do so because Mr. Wright paid those bills instead, we held the two of them responsible and accountable and that’s what’s happening,” Harper told reporters Wednesday. The Conservative leader has framed the scandal as one man secretly repaying the improper expenses of another. Other controversial actions of his staff and senators - efforts to curtail or glean information from a confidential audit, the whitewashing of a Senate report, the general misleading of the public - have never been directly criticized or addressed. While Wright, Harper’s former chief of staff, absorbed the brunt of the blame and lost his job in the Prime Minister’s Office in May 2013, others didn’t miss a career beat inside the

Woodcock went on to become the chief of staff to then Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver, before taking an executive job at the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. Harper’s then-principal secretary Ray Novak moved into the chief of staff job, a position he has today in addition to being a senior campaign director. Parliamentary affairs
manager Patrick Rogers became director of policy for Heritage Minister Shelly Glover. Meanwhile, top Conservative senators involved in the scandal, who as parliamentarians are not subordinate to Wright, have never received any public criticism from Harper. For example, Sen. Irving Gerstein, who approached an executive from an audit firm about a confidential review of Duffy’s expenses, re-
mains the chairman of the Conservative Fund of Canada. For a time, Gerstein also entertained the idea of repaying $32,000 of Duffy’s expenses, a plan Harper has never publicly addressed. Wright himself has pointed to Sen. David Tkachuk, former chairman of the powerful Senate internal economy committee, as the man who first proposed that an audit of Duffy’s expenses be called off.
As for Wright, he revealed in court last week that he had exchanged messages earlier this month with Novak, and spoke to him in May or June. Last year, as he prepared to head up the London office of private equity firm Onex Corp., he was given a sendoff at the residence of the Speaker of the House of Commons, the guests at which included current Conservative campaign chairman Guy Giorno. Harper’s choice to lay blame with Wright, and refuse to acknowledge any direct responsibility of his own, also appears to contradict the government’s stated position on accountability. In the past, the Conservatives have railed against the idea that political staff members could be grilled at Commons committees, emphasizing the concept of ministerial accountability. The current guide on accountable government for ministers and ministers of state says that ministers are “accountable for the conduct of personal staff and advisers.” Such statements
were deemed important in the wake of the Liberal sponsorship scandal, when former prime minister Jean Chretien and his cabinet minister Alfonso Gagliano shifted blame onto bureaucrats and staff. Ian Brodie, another of Harper’s former chiefs of staff, wrote about accountability and political staff for the Canadian Parliamentary Review in 2012. He noted that while ministers are responsible for the actions of their staff, they need not resign for every mistake made by someone in their employ. Still, Brodie noted that there’s also a risk in not properly addressing the ethical lapses of subordinates. “If ministers take a lackadaisical or even overly tolerant approach to accountability for their political aides, the ultimate sanction comes at the ballot box,” Brodie wrote. “The accountability of political aides is sometimes rough, but the electoral accountability of governments is much rougher.”
Judge sentences Colorado theatre Two journalists shot, shooter to life in prison without parole killed during on-air report Sadie Gurman Associated Press
CENTENNIAL, Colo. - The man who unleashed a murderous attack on a packed Colorado movie theatre was ordered Wednesday to serve life in prison without parole plus 3,318 years the maximum allowed by law before the judge told deputies, “Get the defendant out of my courtroom, please.” The gallery applauded the remark by Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. as he gaveled the hearing to a close, ending a grueling threeyear wait to see the gunman brought to justice. Survivors, relatives and a handful of jurors who were in the courtroom cheered and then hugged prosecutors and law enforcement officers. Some wiped away tears. Samour ordered 28-year-old James Holmes to serve 12 consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole, one for each of the people he killed in the July 20, 2012, attack on a crowded movie theatre. He then added another 3,312 years for 70 convictions of attempted murder, and six years for an explosives charge. “The defendant does not de-
serve any sympathy,” the judge said. “And for that reason, the court imposes the maximum sentence it can impose under the law.”
James Holmes Samour handed down the sentences after a withering condemnation of Holmes as an angry quitter who gave up on life and turned his hatred into murder and mayhem against innocent victims and hundreds of their family members. Samour was scrupulously respectful toward Holmes throughout the long trial and months of pretrial hearings. But on the final day in court, he made no attempt to hide his contempt.
“It is almost impossible to comprehend how a human being is capable of such acts,” Samour said. Samour had no option but to give Holmes life without parole, rather than the death penalty, after a split jury decided the term earlier this month. Prosecutors have said 11 jurors favoured death and one voted for life without parole. Under Colorado law, jurors must be unanimous to impose the death penalty. Samour contrasted Holmes’ bloody assault with the compassion of the lone juror who voted for a life sentence. He also noted the trial was fair, even if some victims were disappointed that Holmes wasn’t sentenced to die. “I believe in the system,” Samour said. “I said that before, and I’ll say it again. I believe in the system.” The judge said prison is harsh and restrictive, and he disputed some victims’ suggestion that Holmes would have an easy life behind bars. He also dismissed complaints that the trial was a waste of time, noting it gave family members and survivors an opportunity to tell the world about their ordeal.

MONETA, Va. - A TV reporter and cameraman were shot to death on live television Wednesday by their former colleague, a journalist who also recorded himself carrying out the killings and then posted the video on social media. The gunman, who was fired in 2013 from WDBJ in Roanoke, Virginia, fled the scene and went online, posting the video on Facebook and Twitter. He also reportedly faxed a 23-page manifesto and “suicide note” to ABC News, describing himself as a “human powder keg” that was “just waiting to go BOOM!!!!” Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, who appeared on WDBJ as Bryce Williams, had evidently been planning the attack for some time, authorities said. As he fled, he switched vehicles, picking up a rental car
he had previously reserved at an airport. Troopers caught up with him hours later and hundreds of miles away after he fatally shot himself and ran off the road. The live spot by reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward was nothing out of the ordinary: They were interviewing a local official at an outdoor shopping mall for a tourism story. Then, at about 6:45 a.m., morning show viewers saw her suddenly scream and run, crying “Oh my God,” as she fell. Ward fell, too, and the camera he had been holding on his shoulder captured a fleeting image of the suspect holding a handgun. WDBJ quickly switched back to the anchor at the station, her eyes large and jaw dropping as she said, “OK, not sure what happened there.” The station later went live again, report-
ing on their own staff as the story developed. Parker and Ward died at the scene after the gunman fired about 15 shots. Their interview subject, Vicki Gardner, was in stable condition later Wednesday after surgery for her wounds. Video posted on Bryce Williams’ Twitter account and Facebook page hours later showed an outstretched arm holding the handgun. The shooter walked up to the victims and stood a few feet away, but with all three in the midst of the live TV interview, none seemed to notice. The gunman waited until Ward’s camera was pointed at Parker, and then fired repeatedly. Flanagan was described by Jeffrey Marks, WDBJ’s president and general manager as an “an unhappy man” and “difficult to work with,” always “looking out for people to say things he could take offence to.”
