Impaired driver hits Cranbrook RCMP building FOR THE BULLETIN
A 31 year old Kimberley resident thought it would be a good idea to get behind the wheel of her vehicle after she had been consuming alcoholic beverages, Cranbrook RCMP report. She then ran into the RCMP Detachment where she had parked. In the early morning hours of July 28th, 2016 Cranbrook RCMP members became aware of an unauthorized vehicle parked “nose in” alongside several fully marked police vehicles in the police only parking area of Cranbrook detachment, Cst Katie Forgeron said in a press release.

Their design direction is largely a reaction to the proliferation of factory made, mass produced jewelry that is so common in our industry. Everything seems to be cranked out at a staggering pace and then left for dead. Because we live in such a throwaway society, they feel it’s necessary to create things that can be treasured.

Mediation to continue Council chewing on goat grazing would like to included collective agreement talks as well. In the City release, CAO Scott Sommerville says further proposals
were exchanged and both parties have agreed to another day of mediation. That will not happen, however, until August 9.
Impaired driver hits building From Page 1 “A short time later, RCMP staff observed a female enter the driver’s area and mistakenly go forward, colliding with a section of the building. Police arrived on scene quickly and initiated an impaired driving investigation. The 31 year old was handed a 90 day roadside prohibition. The impact was at low speed leaving the driver and male passenger uninjured with no damage to the building.
“The Cranbrook Detachment has seen 30% increase in impaired accidents over the same time period last year. “Impaired driving kills. We all know this. Yet people continue to get behind the wheel of a vehicle when they have been drinking, thinking that it won’t happen to them. Although in this instance the damage was minor, it only takes a moment for something tragic to happen.”
Summer on the way: Meteorologist TRE VOR CR AWLEY
Yet another thunderstorm warning was issued for the East Kootenay on Wednesday and some may be wondering what happened to the summer season. It’s a case of perception becoming reality, however, according to a meteorologist from Environment Canada, because summer weather should be starting to come around after an unexpected delay. “What you’ve experienced in July this summer is a delay of summer,” said Lisa Coldwells. A typical June weather pattern, what meteorologists call a cold low season, forms in the Gulf of Alaska and then drops through the province, which makes for cooler temperatures and rainy conditions. Normally, those cold lows last for a couple of weeks, but then dissipate by the second week of July. However, this year due to reasons
that haven’t be determined, says Coldwells, the cold lows have stuck around a little bit longer. “It’s a little big unusual to have these patterns stick around so long,” she added. As far as precipitation goes, an average month of precipitation for July is 38.3 millimetres (mm), but so far this year, there has been 35.8 mm recorded out at the weather station at the Canadian Rockies International Airport. “We have this short-term weather memory and everyone has it,” Coldwells said. “You’re thinking back to the last couple of summers where we had an incredibly strong upper ridge over the province and they’ve just been super-hot and super-dry. Then you should be thinking that all summers should be like this. “Then when you go back into the historical averages that we’ve got, it doesn’t turn out that way.”

A couple of weeks ago, Vahana Nature Rehabilitation owner, Cailey Chase, spoke to Kimberley City Council about the possibility of using goats to deal with some of Kimberley’s invasive plant problems. There have been a couple of pilot projects in the past few years, most notably on ?aq’am
(St. Mary’s Band) lands. Chase was involved with those projects through Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control. Council had a discussion on the possibilities of using the goats in Kimberley. “There was broad support for the concept of the project,” said Mayor Don McCormick. “But there was no request so there was no decision on coming up with

some kind of program to use goats. “Fifty-two per cent of our lands are green field so there is probably a lot of area where that could apply. Clearly the Nature Park is a big area. We do have a fair number of areas where goats could be used. There was some discussion around the practicality of it.”

The Platzl was a very busy place on Tuesday as riders arrived at the finish line.
Hire a Student
Singletrack 6 bike race From page 1 “After a series of fast descents and shorter climbs, riders found themselves at the top of the timed descent. With over 300 m of descending over 5km, the descent promised to be one of the longest and thrilling timed descents of the week. Starting off with the signature “Thunder Turkey” and leading into “Shapeshifter” and “Hoodoo View”, riders hit the lowest point on the course, requiring a hard effort on the 2nd biggest climb of the day to repay the gravity gods for their 300m offering. From there another moderate descent and climb will took the riders onto the town pathway system, and back into the town for a Platzl finish.” Racer Ryan Taylor said this in his blog: “The trails today were a mix of everything! Kimberley has a great blend of trails from man-made climbing trails at reasonable grades, to single track climbs with a light dusting of pine needles, roots and rocks. The downhill sections were fantastic. There were the typical flowy trails with a great mix of roots and rocks, and then on the other hand you experienced well made mini-park style descents, with fun small jumps and berms.

FEES CAN BE VERY HARMFUL TO YOUR WEALTH
Few investors in mutual funds know how much they are paying in fees. Some don’t know they are actually paying fees. In July 2016, your financial advisor will be obliged to report all the fees you are paying. Fees can be 2.5% of your assets. Ask your advisor how much you are paying. When selecting mutual funds or other types of financial products or account, low fees are one of the most important, if not the most important criteria to use. Today, there is an overwhelming number of products and types of accounts to choose from. All with different fees attached to them. From stocks, bonds, exchange-traded-funds (EFTs), GICs, mutual funds, fee based accounts, online discount brokers, Robo Advisors, TFSA, RSP, ect. Low costs exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) and Robo Advisors have recently gained a lot of popularity among sophisticated and novice investors. It’s important for you to know what’s available in the investment industry and their costs. A 2.5% fee on a $500,000 portfolio may appear trivial but it means it’s costing you $12,500 a year, about $1,000 a month. For the unsophisticated investor, it is crucial he or she seeks the guidance and assistance of a conflict-free advisor in this complex world. Some advisors can only sell mutual funds and GIC’s. You could be paying higher fees than necessary. L&M Financial believes investors are missing out on great opportunities to lower their costs if only they knew what is available in the investment industry. L&M will guide you and make you aware of the new products and conflict-free accounts available to you and will give you an estimate of your potential savings in fees. Some of our clients have seen their fees lowered by more tha $500 a month. than If you think paying higher fees will increase the performance pe of your investments, you are wrong. In fact th opposite is true. No one will ever care as much about the your y financial health as you do.

Jesus loves everybody. He doesn’t love me best. If you spend any time reading the Bible you know that all were made in God’s image. Any law that doesn’t treat people equally is as good as thumbing your nose at God. 3) Turn away immigrants. Scripture tells us to care for “the widow, the orphan, and the stranger in the gate.” The story of our faith is filled with people who came from somewhere else: Abraham and Sarah were told to pick up what they had and start traveling. Moses, Miriam, and Aaron led a nation out of Egypt into the desert and ultimately to new lands. Even Jesus spent part of his childhood as a foreigner in a foreign land. We know about being strangers in a foreign land. Our aboriginal peoples know about that too. At best, turning away immigrants makes us hypocrites, since we’re all from somewhere else; at worst, we betray our ancestors and our God. 2) Devalue education. We learn in Proverbs that wisdom is something in which God delights daily. As a matter of fact, according to Proverbs, wisdom is better than gold. When you look at the percentage of our budget that goes to education and at what is happening with student loans, it’s becoming clearer that delighting in wisdom is something our government no longer does. 1) Support capital punishment—execution. Jesus died by execution. He was an innocent man. We don’t support state–sanctioned killing, but we are moving inexorably closer to more draconian measures to punish criminals. It’s time for another way. Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican.

What’s Up? Vladnald Trumps Dem convention A
fter the incredibly disorganized, dark and scary Republican National Convention last week, you’d have thought there was nothing the Democrats had to do this week in Philadelphia but show up in order to put a better vision forward. No. No, apparently not. The Democrats have suddenly become the gang who couldn’t shoot straight — unless it’s to shoot themselves directly in the foot. The week began with the email leak (what is it with Hillary Clinton and emails?). The emails, gleaned from a suspicious hacker (more about that in a minute) showed that the Democratic National Committee, headed up by the now-resigned Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, tinkered in the primary campaign, trying to shift the advantage to Clinton over Bernie Sanders. To a party where Sanders supporters were already having to be urged to hold their nose and vote for Hillary, this was more evidence of a system rigged against their guy. Not a great way to start the week. What was supposed to be a night celebrating party unity became more a night of pretending party unity. They put the best spin on it they could, with Sanders urging his supporters to support Clinton, and a rousing speech by Michelle Obama (no report it was plagiarized yet so that’s a pos-
itive). But just like the aforementioned plagiarism last week, the emails ate the room at the beginning of the week. And then there is the ominous theory/ rumour that the hack originated in the Machiavellian depths of Vladimir Putin’s mind. Several news sources are reporting that the hack is Russian in origin. Why, you ask? Well, given the positive comments regarding Putin that Trump has made over the past year, it will be obvious who the Russian strongman would Carolyn prefer as U.S. president. Grant Trump even said over the weekend that the United States wouldn’t necessarily protect a NATO country if Russia invaded. It would depend on whether they contributed their share to the alliance, Trump said, neatly upending a 50 plus year military alliance. Also a little rich in irony since the U.S. is notorious for not paying its dues to the United Nations, yet retains a seat on the Security Council. So who would old Vlad prefer? Trump or the very hawkish Clinton? But really, would Putin really conceive a plot so dark and convoluted? He is not a rookie in the game of plot. He has plotted long and hard about how to circumvent Russian law and keep himself in power with his President to Prime Minister to
President game. Putin has certainly proved himself adventurous on the expansion of Russian interests. Everything from a brazen walk into the Ukraine to a state-sponsored athlete doping program to assure gold medals and glory to the homeland. Why wouldn’t he tamper with the U.S. election? Just for fun. Just to see if a little nudge would work. Especially when one of the choices is a bloviating, ego-driven, narcissist with strong man tendencies. Think of the fun The Donald and The Vlad could have making mischief on the global stage. In any event, the leaked emails created a worrisome beginning of the convention for the Democrats, something they truly don’t need as every sign points to the race for the Whitehouse tightening considerably. And on Wednesday Trump hijacked the spotlight again by urging Russia to continue hacking. His supporters called this brilliant, his detractors, treason. Although the Dems recovered on Wednesday evening with a series of good speeches, Trump’s name was certainly brought up again and again. Can the gang who couldn’t shoot straight recover from the constant momentum losses? Are Donald and Vlad close enough to a bromance that we have to mash up their names? Vladnald? Donladimir?

The most beautiful library in the world
I
n ‘The Secret Miracle,’ Jorge Luis Borges tells the story of a Czech playwright who, because he is Jewish, is arrest by the Nazis and sentenced to death. The night before his execution he dreams of looking for a book in Prague’s Klementinum Library, a book which has been rumoured to contain God. He becomes disheartened when an elderly librarian states that he has been looking for this book his entire life, with no luck. Yet the playwright does indeed find the book and subsequently God, whom he asks to postpone his execution for a year so he can finish a play he is writing. The playwright suddenly wakes up, just in time to be dragged in front of the Nazi firing squad. Yet as the bullets leave the rifles aimed at him, time freezes. God has indeed given him a
year to finish his play. Which he does, finishing the final sentence right before time starts again and the bullets find their mark (If this seems familiar, Christopher Nolan based his film ‘Inception’ on this story). While a work of fiction, Prague’s Klementinum Library is not. Through a series of magazine polls and UNESCO findings, the Klementinum Library has been voted “the world’s most beautiful library.” What began as a small church during medieval times, had grown into Jesuit University by the 16th century, an observatory / library during the 17th, and finally as a national library in 1918. Its design is known as “Baroque Pearl” and the Library’s ceilings are covered in 18th century frescoes and carvings. The Library’s main

hall also contains numerous globes from this period, as well as one of Mozart’s organs. The true beauty of any library are its books, and Klementinum houses twenty thousand of them. In contrast, the world’s second most beautiful library, the Cranbrook Public, has seventy-five thousand books. However, Klementinum’s are solely Czech literature printed before the 17th century. While beautiful in many, many ways, and
awarded UNESCO’s Jikji (Memory of the World)prize in 2005, Prague’s National Library is only a sample of the country’s unusual attitude towards libraries. The Czech Republic has more public libraries than any other country in the world. They have four times as many libraries as other European countries, and ten times as many as North America. If Canada were to follow the Czech model of libraries per population, Cranbrook would have ten full size public libraries. That is more than the number of Cranbrook’s elementary schools. And yes, the Czech Republic has more libraries than it does elementary schools. All this stems from the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy at the end of the First World War. As Czecho-
slovakia emerged as a free country, it felt the best way to rid themselves of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was the free education of its citizens. They newly independent government established a “national library law” in 1919, leading to the unprecedented creation of public libraries all over the place. Since then, these public libraries have survived both the Nazi occupation and the Communist takeover. The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation conducted research into exactly why this country continues to have “the densest library network in the world” and they could only draw one conclusion from study: Czechs love to lend books. Perhaps God does live a Czech Republic library book after all.

Former Ice star Descheneau goes pro Bakersfield Condors of American Hockey League sign former WHL 40-goal man to one-year deal
TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor
Jaedon Descheneau may have gone unsigned by the St. Louis Blues — the NHL club that drafted him back in 2014 — but he hasn’t been forgotten by pro scouts. The Bakersfield Condors — American Hockey League affiliate of the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers — announced the signing of Descheneau, 21, to a one-year AHL contract Thursday afternoon. The 2015-16 season was one to forget for Descheneau — a native of Edmonton — after he only suited up for two games with the WHL’s Kootenay Ice. After being returned to the club from Blues training camp, Descheneau was injured in only his second game back with the Ice, separating his shoulder on a completely innocuous non-hockey play, an incidental collision away from the puck. That was Oct. 6, 2015, in Prince Albert. By Nov. 16, the Ice had announced Descheneau was set to undergo season-ending surgery to repair the damage suffered. It was a crushing blow for the 5-foot-9, 190-pound sniper, who had returned to Cranbrook intent on tearing up the Western League in his final year of eligibility and earning himself an entry-level NHL
contract with the Blues. “I learned a lot about what it takes to be a pro, about how they work — even in summer skates, how competitive they are, which brought that upon me,” Descheneau said upon his initial return to Cranbrook from Blues camp. “Now, I think I’ve grown up a bit. It really helped me become a more mature person.”
Despite the unfortunate end to his WHL career, there’s good reason why the Blues originally selected the speedy winger with a fifth-round pick (124th) in 2014. Descheneau amassed 111 goals and 272 points over the course of his 265-game WHL career, including a career-high 44 goals and 98 points during the 2013-14 season. He added another 15 goals and 31 points in 29 WHL post-season contests and represented the league at the Russia-Canada Super Series on two separate occasions (2013 and 2014). “Desch is an unbelievable player,” said Luke Philp — a former teammate of Descheneau’s with the Ice — back in September 2015.
“He’s a great player to play with. He obviously brings a ton to the table for our team and a lot of offensive ability. He’s probably one of the best playmakers I’ve ever played with.” In addition to representing the WHL at the Russia-Canada Super Series, Descheneau was named to the league’s Eastern Conference second all-star team in 2013-14. Selected by the Kootenay Ice in the third round (62nd) of the bountiful 2010 WHL Bantam Draft, Descheneau spent his entire WHL career in Cranbrook, leaving fans with plenty of memories during his time. During the 2014 WHL Playoffs, Descheneau showed his biggame prowess on more than one occasion. In Game 5 of the team’s first-round series with the Calgary Hitmen, Sam Reinhart dished a cross-ice pass to Descheneau who cashed in on the play with less than one second remaining on the clock in the second period. The play went on to be reviewed by the WHL war room, before it was deemed a good goal. The marker stood as the game-winning tally and sent the Ice back to Cranbrook with a 3-2 series lead. Boosted by the return of Tim Bozon and a raucous crowd in Game 6, the Ice knocked

In Game 4 of the team’s second-round series with the Medicine Hat Tigers, the Ice fell behind 4-1 early before the feisty Descheneau decided to change the face of the outcome. Descheneau opened the scoring in the first period before the Tigers rattled off four consecutive markers to chase starting goaltender
Mackenzie Skapski. After Philp and Reinhart combined to pull the home team within one, Descheneau scored two more with his hat-trick marker standing as the game-winning goal yet again. The victory gave the Ice a commanding 3-1 series lead, however, the Tigers stormed back to win the series in seven games. Finally, in the team’s
annual Teddy Bear Toss on Dec. 5, 2014 against the Spokane Chiefs, Descheneau brought bears raining to the ice at Western Financial Place a mere 41 seconds into regulation — a lightning-quick strike. The 2015-16 AHL campaign saw the Condors finish fifth in the Pacific Division with a record of 31-28-7-2, just missing out on post-season play.
Cranbrook native Ben Betker, formerly of the WHL’s Everett Silvertips and a draft pick of the Oilers, played 14 games with Bakersfield in 2015-16. The Condors play out of the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, Calif., a city of approximately 370,000 people located roughly 190 kilometres north of Los Angeles.

Strong showing for Team Dickson in Calgary Trio of local fitness models score big at NPAA Canada Classic; Aspire2BFit welcomes new trainer
TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor
Year after year, Cranbrook’s Laurie Dickson continues to churn out accomplished physique and fitness models and 2016 has been no exception. Calgary was the site for the 2016 National Physique and Athletics Association (NPAA) Canada Classic back in May, with a trio of Cranbrook competitors representing Team Dickson at the annual event. Dickson — a longtime fitness model and trainer — was proud of the showing from her trio of ladies, which included Cranbrook’s Lindsay Floer, Mandy Tang and Leigh Anne Isaac. Floer was the big winner of the weekend, claiming first place in masters tall bikini model competition and third place in the masters tall fitness model event. In the bikini model showing, Floer beat out 16 other hope-
fuls to take the top prize. In novice mini bikini model competition, Tang registered a second-place finish, while Isaac did not place in the masters tall fitness model competition. Despite finishing outside the ranks, Dickson said Isaac brought a stellar, well-conditioned physique to the stage and exuded herself with the same confidence she pours into every other competition. According to Dickson, the process to prepare an athlete for a show requires six months of dedicated and intense training over three phases. First, Dickson works with her athletes on building muscle before moving into the leaning-out phase. The final phase of preparation sees athletes cut carbohydrates while increasing protein intake.
Dickson — the 2013 NPAA Coach/Trainer of the Year — works with her team out of Aspire2BFit Training, which opened in September 2014 at Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort in Cranbrook. In addition to winning the award in 2013, Dickson was nominated yet again in 2015 and in 2016. Prior to b e i n g n a m e d N P A A Coach/Trainer of the Year in 2013, Dickson established a long competitive career that saw her claim numerous titles on the national and international physique and fitness stages. Dickson, 49, won world titles in 2008 as WNSO Pro Fitness Model and WBFF Masters Fitness Model. The NPAA Coach/ Trainer of the Year award recognizes the coach/trainer who has
made a tremendous impact on the lives of their clients in preparation for NPAA competition. In addition to celebrating the work of her team in Calgary, Dickson is pleased to welcome a new trainer to Aspire2BFit and Team Dickson, with Rachel Anderson joining the squad. “Team Dickson is very proud to welcome aboard Rachel Anderson,” Dickson said. Anderson is an NPAA bikini pro athlete and International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) certified coach. She is set to provide one-on-one personalized fitness programs, including dietary regimens, weight loss, weight gain and sports-specific training. A key factor in Dickson’s philosophy and approach to fitness and a healthier lifestyle comes from her experience as an independent associate for Isagenix, a health and wellness solutions company.

The cost of teaching personal-protection S
elf-defence, or more accurately Personal-Protection, is a discipline like no other. As I stated many times before in other articles; it is very different than martial arts. It is both simpler and deeper. There is no metaphysical basis, no inner chi or secret death touch methods to make you into a super human being. There is only hard work, research and the need to understand the darkest side of human behaviour. If you are learning personal-protection from a reputable instructor he will be able to teach you about the dynamics of real violence and human predation on other humans. If your instructor is teaching you a martial discipline and tradition that is very different than teaching personal protection; it is incredibly valuable and a treasure that has probably
been around for hundreds, even thousands of years, however it is not personal-protection, at best it has transferable skills, at worst it will hamper your ability to protect yourself. Many of those who truly understand the realities of violence will tell you that most traditional martial arts not only don’t prepare you for the arena of real violence, they actually hinder your ability to deal with an assault by a committed attacker. The reasons for this are many, from martial arts overloading the mind with choices of response, to the fact that the dojo creates a false environment that is completely alien to the real world. Predators try to set you up in ways that allow them to attack without warning, in other words they want to either ambush you and overwhelm you with violence or they want to make demands of you from a position
of total advantage. Martial arts teaches you how to fight with a training partner, personal-protection training tries to train you to avoid, de-escalate, or act first when it comes to violence. In other words, someone using a personal-protection mindset will avoid, get out of a situation or do their damndest to ambush their ambusher if no other choice is made. They will not have any illusions of fair play and will understand the horrors of real violence and have one goal, make a way to escape as safely as possible. Part of the skillsets and knowledge that come with this are very dark, and yet very liberating to know. However as a responsible instructor besides the obvious physical cost of putting your body on the line to have people strike you, throw you and lock your joints so they can learn their physical

tion possible. A good personal-protection coach will research and try to understand how predators choose and look for victims. He or she will try to know the nuances of social violence and family violence and may have to “counsel” students who have come to them because they want to take back the power that has been taken from them. Personally I have dealt with many situations like that. As a trained life skills coach and operant effectual counsellor I have had to work with street youth, people dealing with addictions, clients who come through the legal system and are getting back to society. I have dealt with a lot of behaviours and have a very good understanding of the trauma that causes both social violence and human to human predation. I have seen this behaviour both from my professional life as well as in my own personal life. Also doing event security and being in the wrong place at the wrong time has put me in the middle of a fair bit of social violence.
This kind of thing changes your outlook and can leave a stain on you, but it opens your eyes to the real world instead of living under what I call the rose coloured blanket most people live under, pulling their head under and hoping the bad man never comes their way. Beyond this experience I am constantly researching and training myself to be as good as possible in this endeavor; I am constantly reading books by professionals who are frontline in violent jobs and managing to get some training with some of the best personal-protection instructors around. I watch every video I can find that shows real violence and assaults. I have watched some of the most horrific things that you can find in this quest to make sure I don’t give false securities to the people who come to me to learn these skills. This is more than a hobby or a job; it is a mission I have embraced. However this knowledge does have a price and having the knowledge I have does make a bit of a stain on me. You can’t stare too
long into the void and not have it stare back into you. However the price of this shadow on my heart and soul is very well balanced by the empowerment I feel knowing I am a little more prepared to combat the darkness I hate than I was years ago. I love the fact that I am a more proficient protector and warrior than I was a few years ago, and I am always striving to improve. Most importantly though I love seeing the confidence and warrior edge I can instill in people. I love seeing people become passionate about learning this. Making my students lives a little better makes the darkness I have gone through to get here very worthwhile. I would not change anything if I could, I love living a warrior lifestyle and passing that on to others. It is my personal mission.

NEWS Vancouver author receives nod for Man Booker Prize L AUREN L A ROSE Canadian Press
TORONTO - Vancouver-born Madeleine Thien says she feels lucky and honoured to be among the novelists in contention for the prestigious Man Booker Prize. Thien and Montreal-born David Szalay were among the 13 authors named to the long list for the lucrative British literary award on Wednesday. “I was really moved. I still am really moved,”
said Thien, 42, in a phone interview from Vancouver. “It’s still settling in. It’s still quite unexpected.” Previously open to writers from Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth, the Booker expanded in 2014 to include all English-language authors. Despite fears of U.S. dominance, there has not yet been an American winner of the prize, which usually brings the victor a huge sales boost.
Hungary-based Szalay got the nod for “All That Man Is” (McClelland & Stewart.) The story is set in various European cities and offers a window into the lives of men at different stages in their lives, from their teens through old age. Thien was recognized for “Do Not Say We Have Nothing” (Knopf Canada) set in China before, during and after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. The heart of the
story involves three Chinese musicians who are studying Western classical music at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in the 1960s, said Thien. The novel explores the revolution that occurred under Mao Zedong and the many political campaigns that pulled apart people’s lives, she added. “I think at its heart it’s about art and revolution and music as an expression of the personal self, and also a
public self, and what happens when those two are in conflict.” Thien is based in Montreal and is the common-law partner of Canadian author Rawi Hage. She is the daughter of Malaysian-Chinese immigrants who relocated to Canada in the 1970s. “My parents spoke different languages, but my mother chose English. So for me, English was a place of freedom. It was a place I could sort of find a sense of
CONGRATULATIONS!
belonging, but also integrate the world my parents have given me.” Thien said being recognized with the Booker nod feels like a chance for an author’s work “to be in conversation with English literature.” “That’s very special and very rare. So it’s a great honour. And also, you feel incredibly fortunate because there’s so many books and it’s a subjective process. You just feel very lucky.” Celebrated South
Newfoundland man survives collision with humpback whale C ANADIAN PRESS
WHITBOURNE, N.L. - When his son’s small boat hit a 40-tonne humpback whale and almost capsized, 79-year-old Tony Morgan remembers flying through the air, hitting the water and then utter blackness. He thought he was about to drown as he inhaled a few gulps of sea water from eastern Newfoundland’s Trinity Bay. “I went right down into the dark part of the water,” he says, recalling the bizarre collision Monday, somewhere between New Harbour and Chapel Arm. “I kept my wits with me and I tried to get my rubbers off, but I couldn’t. So I ... tried to get up out of it. And I wasn’t making no headway. So I took a couple gulps of water and everything flashed for me ... I said, ‘I’ll end my life right there.”’ Then something strange happened. Morgan recalls seeing a brief vision of his

African novelist J.M. Coetzee and U.S. Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout are also among the contenders. Coetzee’s “The Schooldays of Jesus” and Strout’s “My Name is Lucy Barton” are among the best-known titles on a long list that spurned big-name writers including Ian McEwan and Don DeLillo in favour of less famous authors and firsttime novelists.
youngest brother Jerry, who died a few years ago of Lou Gehrig’s disease. He was 62 years old. “He must have pushed me up out of the water,” he says. “Everything brightened right up ... Within one second, I broke up to the top and I saw the boat.” His rubber boots were filled with water and he wasn’t wearing a life-jacket, but Morgan managed to swim to the boat, where his son Roger grabbed him by the belt and hauled him aboard. Morgan says he never saw the whale, but his son later told him the behemoth barely budged when his six-metre boat hit the animal. “The boat almost turned over,” he says. “It turned 60 degrees - spun around.” In hospital, Morgan was treated for exposure and released, a bit sore and missing a front tooth but otherwise in good health.

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Events on tap for Kimberley Kaleidoscope festival
Kicking off Saturday, August 6, with a full day of First Saturday activities including the Saturday Night Outdoor Concert with vintage rock band, the Lovebullies, this year’s Kimberley Kaleidoscope festival offers a lively selection of 13 arts & cultural activities and entertainments spread over 8 days. All events take place in or alongside the Centre 64 arts centre with one exception, a children’s festival on Saturday morning, August 13, which will be held at the Platzl gazebo area. Sexy, sassy rock n’ roll is what the Lovebullies will bring to Saturday night’s outdoor stage at Centre 64 on August 6. The band’s engaging line-up of Chantal Vitalis, Joni Brent, Paul Jahn Kevin Herring and front singer Caroline Connolly will have you up on your feet and dancing if you’ve an ounce of rhythm in your blood. When they last ap-
peared in Kimberley “Live at Studio 64” in March 2015, this reviewer wrote, “The star of the show was Caroline Connolly. In her short shorts and calf-hugging boots she wowed the crowd time and time again with her dramatic interpretations of the songs, often ending up on her knees, head bowed, or, in more teasing vein, in the lap of a male member of the audience. She was a lot of fun! I’m sure anyone who was there, and it was full house, will vividly remember her and this Calgary retro-rock band’s performance. So, anyone with a penchant for 50s and 60s rock should make sure to bring their lawn chair early and find a good spot to return to when their feet get tired of dancing. The concert is free, donations are gratefully accepted, and the music starts at 7.30 p.m. It will be preceded at 6 p.m. at the same location by a barbeque with the Kim-

Other contenders include “The Bad Batch,” a cannibal love story starring Jim Carrey and Keanu Reeves from Iranian-American director Ana Lily Amirpour, and “La Region Salvaje” (“The Untamed”) by hard-hitting Mexican filmmaker Amat Escalante. Also screening at the festival, although not in prize competition, is Mel Gibson’s World War II drama “Hacksaw Ridge.” The story of a pacifist army medic, it’s Gibson’s first film as a director since 2006, the year he launched an anti-Semitic tirade during a drunk-driving arrest. Meanwhile, “Maudite poutine” from emerging Canadian filmmaker Karl Lemieux competes in the Horizon section, while “Prank” from Vincent Biron will make its world premiere during Venice Critics’ Week. Both films will compete for the Lion of the Future, a $100,000 award for a first film at the fest.

There were indications of “bugs” in the Phoenix system after it was first launched on a limited basis in February following several delays and a third-party assessment, she said.

larger second wave. And she would have recommended the system be given the green light at that time, she told the committee. Still, knowing what she knows now, that second phase should have included more time for employees to be trained on the system, and the government should have retained many of the pay system employees that were let go as the new system came online, she said. Earlier Thursday, federal officials said they expect to have resolved all of the pay delays created by the problematic new pay system by the end of October but undoing the damage won’t be cheap.

months-long debacle, which has caused serious payday headaches for tens of thousands of civil servants, will cost an estimated $15 to $20 million, Lemay told a news conference earlier in the day. That doesn’t include upgrades that will be required to ensure the system runs more smoothly in the future, she added. “There’s another portion that we’re looking at doing to enhance and that I still don’t have a cost to.” Some 1,100 of the more than 80,000 problem files identified last week have been closed, Lemay said. That includes the 486 government workers who were provided with back pay on Wednesday after having gone for months without compensation. Another 234 employees listed by officials as “Priority 1” cases will see their paycheques in two weeks, Lemay added. A second priority group - workers going on maternity leave, long-term disability leave or retiring - will see their files handled within four to six weeks, the deputy minister said. To speed up the process of eliminating reported pay holdups, the government is opening satellite pay offices in Winnipeg, Montreal and Shawinigan, Que., as well as hiring more staff in Gatineau, Que. “We’ve hired more people and we’re adding more temporary pay offices,” said Lemay. “To accelerate our progress, we are recruiting as many compensation experts as we can to help employees get paid as quickly as possible.” On Wednesday, Public Services and Procurement Minister Judy Foote paid a personal visit to the government’s central pay centre in Miramichi, N.B., where officials confirmed that dozens of employees are on stress leave linked to the pay system issues. The Phoenix system oversees the payment of 300,000 federal public servants. More than 80,000 workers have either been overpaid, underpaid or missed entire paycheques since Phoenix launched in February.

B.C. parrot refuge transfer complete, birds up for adoption C ANADIAN PRESS
COOMBS, B.C. Hundreds of parrots are now up for adoption after the last of the birds was safely removed from Vancouver Island’s World Parrot Refuge. Refuge supervisor Matthew Spate says between 450 and 500 parrots have left the sanctuary at Coombs, located about 150 kilometres north of Victoria. The sprawling refuge has been in operation for more than a decade but faced an Aug. 1 deadline to remove all the parrots, which at one point numbered more than 800.
Refuge founder Wendy Huntbatch died last February after devoting much of her life to caring for parrots abandoned by owners and breeders. Spate says the parrots are at a former Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Shelter, while The Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary in Surrey, B.C., is part of the effort to relocate the parrots. He says many of the hundreds of people who expressed interested in adopting one of the refuge’s parrots can expect calls shortly. “It was a big step
where we were able to remove the birds and now it’s a process of making sure the birds are healthy,” Spate says. “Then we can start figuring out how to rehome them.” He said there was a time crunch to get the birds out of the refuge, but now the adoption process will press ahead. “I think we’ll be able to find homes for all these birds,” Spate says. “Some of the homes will have to be more special people because these birds were in the refuge for 12 years and are not as sociable as could be.”
Site for Obama’s presidential library chosen in Chicago JOSH LEDERMAN AND DON BABWIN Associated Press
CHICAGO - President Barack Obama’s presidential library will be built in a park on Chicago’s South Side along the shores of Lake Michigan and a short walk from the university where Obama once taught, a person familiar with the selection process told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The Barack Obama Foundation decided to build the library at Jackson Park near the University of Chicago, where Obama taught constitutional law before he was elected to
the White House, according to a person briefed on the selection. The library is expected to be a boon to the city’s South Side, providing jobs to communities that have long struggled with gang violence and high unemployment. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the individual was not authorized to speak about the decision ahead of a formal announcement. The park was selected over nearby Washington Park, which also was proposed by the university. The University of Chicago has said the library and presi-
dential centre are expected to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, bringing jobs and millions of dollars to the area. Jackson Park was the site of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, while Washington Park is a national historic site. Both parks have hundreds of acres and were designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, but Jackson Park - located between Lake Michigan and the University of Chicago - is farther away from areas plagued by gun violence than Washington Park, which is further to the west.
Crude-by-rail shipments on steady decline: Statscan IAN BICKIS Canadian Press
CALGARY - Shipments of crude-by-rail have shown a steady decline this year and railway executives see little hope of a quick turnaround. The latest data from Statistics Canada, released Wednesday, reveal shipments of railcars filled with fuel and crude oil have dropped every month since January, both compared with the previous month and the same month the
year before. May saw the highest drop, plunging by a third to 6,566 rail cars, as the wildfire hazard in Fort McMurray, Alta., reduced output from the oilsands by more than a million barrels a day. But April also saw a 16 per cent drop from 2015 to 11,808 railcars, while between December and April the number of cars dropped 23 per cent. “Regarding the crude by rail today, the vol-
ume is still weak,” said Jean-Jacques Ruest, an executive vice-president at Canadian National Railway, in a conference call with investors earlier this week. He added the company faces stiff competition from pipelines, which are much cheaper than rail. “Pipeline really is the king. That dominates the marketplace and that’s the reason why our carload is down to the level it is right now,” said Ruest.

Obama passes baton to Clinton, imploring nation to elect her ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA Hillary Clinton has the stage. Stepping out of the shadows of presidents past, the former first lady, senator and vanquishe d-candidateturned-secretary-ofstate appeared unannounced on the platform at her nominating convention, pointed a finger at President Barack Obama and gave him a hug. Clinton had just been anointed the inheritor of Obama’s legacy with his vigorous endorsement speech, the candidate who could realize the “promise of this great nation.” “She’s been there for us, even if we haven’t always noticed,” Obama said Wednesday, imploring the country to elect the woman he defeated eight years ago. Summoning his most famous line from that campaign, Obama said: “If you’re serious about our democracy,
you can’t afford to stay home just because she might not align with you on every issue. You’ve got to get in the arena with her, because democracy isn’t a spectator sport. America isn’t about ‘Yes he will.’ It’s about ‘Yes we can.”’ Wednesday’s was the picture of diversity that Democrats have sought to frame the whole week: A black man symbolically seeking to hand the weightiest baton in the free world to a woman. It culminated a parade of speeches over the last 72 hours - from men and women, gay and straight, white, black and Hispanic; young and old - hoping to cast the Republicans as outof-touch social conservatives led by an unhinged and unscrupulous tycoon. Reeling off his greatest hits as president, from the auto industry bailout and health care overhaul to landmark deals on climate change
and Iran’s nuclear program, Obama said the choice was between “a deeply pessimistic vision of a country where we turn against each other, and turn away from the rest of the world” and “the America I know.” “There is only one candidate in this race who believes in that future, and has devoted her life to it,” Obama said. Republican Donald Trump did his best to steal the spotlight Wednesday. Following reports Russia hacked Democratic Party emails, Trump said he’d like to see Moscow find the thousands of emails Clinton deleted from the account she used as secretary of state.

U.S. President Barack Obama addressed the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday evening in Philadelphia. Democrats that Moscow already was intervening on his behalf. Trump’s comments fed Democrats’ contentions that the billionaire businessman is unqualified to be commander in chief. He has no national security experience and has breezily dismissed decades of U.S. foreign policy constants, like standing by NATO allies that long suffered under Russian domination. Yet in a scattershot news conference Wednesday, Trump tried to turn the table on Clinton, saying

young attorney and Arkansas governor’s wife to half of the two-forone presidency that oversaw a booming economy, without mentioning the scandals; from New York lawmaker to defeated presidential hopeful; from America’s top diplomat to the first woman ever put forward by a major party for president. “There’s only one person in this race who will be there, who’s always been there for you, and that’s Hillary Clinton’s life story,” Biden said. “Hillary Clinton is ‘lista’,” said Kaine, a former Richmond mayor and Virginia governor who speaks fluent Spanish. “She’s ready because of her faith. She’s ready because of her heart. She’s ready because of her experience. She’s ready because she knows in America we are stronger when we are together.” After a quarter-century just behind the men in charge, Clinton gets her turn alone with the American public on Thursday evening. Many people don’t trust her, polls consistently show, a legacy perhaps of the Clintons’ 1990s-era controversies from the land deal known as Whitewater to Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky. To her detractors, Hillary’s
dishonesty has only been reinforced by the revelations over her use of a private email server in government. And some Democrats still aren’t convinced of her candidacy, either, after a difficult primary campaign against Bernie Sanders, a sentiment underscored by the protests of a small but boisterous set of Sanders’ supporters. A consistent message has been Clinton’s perseverance. Obama noted his own bruising contest with Clinton in 2008, hailing his erstwhile rival’s toughness as a candidate and “her intelligence, her judgment and her discipline” as a team member. For the all the praise of Clinton, Wednesday’s speakers spent significant time attacking her opponent. “Trump says he wants to run the nation like he runs his business. God help us,” said former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, himself a billionaire entrepreneur and an independent whom Democrats called on to broaden Clinton’s appeal. “Our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump,” Obama said.

NEWS CMHC rings alarm bells about real estate market ALEXANDR A POSADZKI Canadian Press
TORONTO - Canada’s national housing agency rang more alarm bells about Vancouver’s real estate sector after it released a report Wednesday saying there is now strong evidence of problematic conditions in the city. In a quarterly housing market assessment released Wednesday, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. increased its risk rating for Vancouver to its highest level for the first time since it began releasing the reports last year. The housing agency
said it is seeing evidence of an overheated market, which occurs when demand outstrips supply, and price acceleration in the city. Previously, it had said there was strong indications of overvaluation as prices for single detached homes have soared higher than what economic fundamentals can support. Robyn Adamache, a principal market analyst for CMHC, said there have been signs of overheating in Vancouver’s real estate market for some time, but the agency didn’t want to prematurely signal that warning. “We had been waiting
for a couple of quarters of evidence to be able to make that call,” Adamache said. “And part of what contributed to making that call this quarter is that we have started to see the multi-family sector, including both townhomes and apartments, also moving into overheated conditions in terms of the sales to new listings ratio, whereas before it was only on the single-family side.” CMHC’s assessment comes as the B.C. government plans to implement several measures, including a 15 per cent tax for foreigners purchasing property, in an
Canadian military warns Pokemon Go users after ‘occurrences’ on bases ADINA BRESGE Canadian Press
HALIFAX - The Canadian Armed Forces are warning Pokemon Go players - both in and out of uniform - not to search for Pokemon on military property. A spokesperson said military police have reported “Pokemon Go occurrences” at three bases - CFB Borden and 22 Wing North Bay in Ontario, and 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia - within the first week of the game’s release. “In the interests of public safety, Pokemon Go players must refrain from attempting to access defence establishments without authorization for the purpose of searching for Pokemon,” said a statement released by Natasha Leduc, assistant public affairs officer for CFB Halifax. “A Pokemon Go player found on a defence installation who is not authorized to be there could face sanctions including a warning, a citation and fine, or arrest and prosecution.” The highly popular game sends players into the real world to search for the mythical digital pocket monsters known as Pokemon with their iPhones or Android devices. Players are encouraged to roam their city to visit so-called Pokestops to collect supplies and visit gyms to battle other players.
Pokemon characters have also been spotted in Canadian police stations and hospitals, prompting polite requests that players stay safe, alert and respectful of their surroundings. Corrections Canada, though, tweeted a warning that players refrain from hunting at Stony Mountain Institution, a federal prison in Manitoba where players were apparently seen on the grounds. At CFB Halifax, officials sent a memo noting the base “is appearing in the virtual world that is the global phenomena of ”Pokemon Go.“ The memo tells all personnel they must show government ID before accessing the base, and cautions that duty officers will respond to “suspicious activity” including: wandering the base while staring at phones, hopping fences to get into controlled sites, or abandoning vehicles on the side of the road to gain access to the base. “Remember that your actions while playing this game can look suspicious to others who are not aware of the phenomena and that just because someone is looking down at their phone and wandering the base this does not simply mean that they are playing this game,” it said. “If it looks suspicious, say something, or
if you feel unsafe, contact the MPs or Duty Watch and report the activity.” Leduc said the augmented-reality game has not yet been banned at bases, but military personnel and civilians are discouraged from playing near defence establishments. Players have been spotted at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg and the National Cemetery of Canada in Ottawa, where officials said they were welcome so long as they remained respectful.

effort to cool down house prices that are among the highest in North America. CMHC chief economist Bob Dugan said it’s too early to say what effects the tax will have on Vancouver’s real estate market. “This is an announcement that came out very recently,” Dugan said. “We haven’t had time to update any forecasts to take this tax into account. There are a lot of unknowns.” Earlier this month, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported that the benchmark price for all residential properties in
Metro Vancouver was $917,800 in June, a 32 per cent jump from the same month last year. CMHC’s report Wednesday also said that evidence of problematic conditions in Canada’s housing market as a whole has risen from weak to moderate, although Dugan cautioned against jumping to any conclusions based on the national figures. “I wouldn’t spend a lot of time focusing on the Canada-wide numbers,” Dugan said. “When you get down to the CMAs (census metropolitan areas), there’s a large variation from one place to the

next. So really what you have to look at is where you live or what your part of the country looks like.” Toronto, Calgary, Saskatoon and Regina all showed strong evidence of problematic conditions, according to the report, while real estate markets in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Montreal and Quebec have exhibited moderate evidence of imbalances. The housing agency says imbalances occur when overbuilding, over-
valuation, overheating and/or price acceleration depart significantly from historical averages. Overall evidence of problematic conditions has decreased in Ottawa since the previous CMHC housing market assessment in April. The assessment is intended to be an early warning system to alert Canadians about problematic conditions developing in the country’s real estate markets.

Olympic organizers suspect ‘isolated’ sabotage at village STEPHEN WADE Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO Sabotage by unhappy workers may have caused water and gas leaks, blocked toilets and electrical faults that slowed teams from moving into the athletes’ village, Rio Olympic organizers said Thursday. “We are considering isolated cases, but we haven’t seen enough to say it was an organized sabotage thing,” Rio spokesman Mario Andrada said. He said the most likely cause was what he called “organizational problems.” All 31 buildings at the massive compound for 18,000 athletes and staff are due to be ready at the end of Thursday, with the games opening in just over a week. Andrada says about 400 of the 3,600 rooms in the complex had defects. South America’s first games have been plagued by problems, including the Zika virus, severe water pollution, security worries and slow ticket sales. But the slipshod construction is the first problem directly touching many teams and athletes. Australia refused to check in at Sunday’s official opening, setting off public complaints by at least a dozen teams. Those complaints ranged from water dripping from ceilings and walls, the smell of gas, electrical shorts, and stopped-up toilet bowls
- or no toilet bowls at all. Andrada described a “wild scramble” last weekend to find 650 plumbers and electricians. “Imagine, this was on a weekend in Rio,” he said. “We called literally all the constructions companies. We literally called every plumber in town.” Rio is a relaxed beach town, where informal dress is normal and the work schedule is negotiable. “One US official told me the workers were unprepared, working with water on the floor, working with electricity and wearing no protection; wearing flip-flops,” Andrada said. “But that’s how we live here. Guys work with flipflops. But the guys are technicians and know how to work.” Rio organizers said 1,129 athletes and 2,449 staff members would be living in the village on Thursday. The total will swell in the next week as teams arrive from private training camps. Brazilian labour inspectors on Wednesday said they would fine the organizing committee nearly $100,000 (about 315,000 reals) for hiring workers without proper contracts required by law. It said about 630 workers did not enjoy benefits that protect them from workplace injuries. Andrada said the committee would challenge the fine.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Morgan and I are from the same hometown, and a few weeks ago, she moved to the city where I live now. Though I’d never met her, we have a ton of mutual friends back home (or so I thought). She asked whether I’d show her around. I remembered what it was like to be new in town, so I was happy to help. Morgan and I got along well and had a lot in common. The first night we went out, she asked whether she could sleep on my couch because it was so late. I said sure. Then she stayed the next night, without asking -- and then the next. One morning, when I woke up, my car was gone. She had taken it to the store without even asking. She must have dug through my purse for the keys. On top of this, she just got a job at the same store where I work. I started to get a little nervous about the lack of space, and I told her I needed to set some boundaries and hang out less. This week, she asked whether she could live with me for a bit. I said no, but she won’t stop bombarding me with calls. I asked a mutual friend what Morgan’s deal is, and he told me that she’s crazy and all our friends stopped talking to her years ago. Now what do I do? I feel really guilty ignoring her. -Suffocating Dear Suffocating: Run; don’t walk. You set boundaries, and she disrespected them. You told her she couldn’t live with you, and she wouldn’t take no for an answer. All this and you’ve only known her for (SET ITAL)three weeks(END ITAL). I’m sounding the stage-five “clinger” alarm. Stop letting this girl into your life. Don’t feel guilty; don’t entertain any sort of dialogue. If you give her an inch, she’ll take a mile (along with your keys, wallet and Social Security number). Dear Annie: I work for a stationery company, and most of my co-workers are women. I am what you might call a guy’s guy. I am a fan of every Chicago sports team (Cubs, not Sox). After a big game, I want to talk about it over the watercooler with my co-workers, yet I can’t. The majority of the people I work with aren’t big sports fans. The one other dude in my department spends his free time knitting sweaters for his pug. (I’m not even making that up.) I come in Monday morning after a big Bears win, and people don’t have a clue what happened 18 hours earlier. Jimmy Butler drops 53 on Philadelphia, and I want to compare his skills as a two-way player to MJ’s yet have no one to talk to. The Cubs are in first place. The sorry, lovable-loser Cubbies, who haven’t won a World Series in over 100 years, are in (SET ITAL) first place (END ITAL), and people in my office could not care less. I like my job, and I do like the people I work with. It just feels as if there is a barrier, as if there is a side of me that they could never understand. How do I connect and get them to care about this stuff? -- Secret Sports Guy Dear Secret: If you focused more on doing your job, you’d be less bothered by the fact that your office isn’t a sports bar. Sure, it’s nice when we share the same interests as our co-workers, but it’s by no means a requirement. Find time to connect with your fellow fans outside the office. Work is for work.
