Man dies from ‘overdose’ on last day of music festival

Intervention on smart meters urged by private individuals

BY TIMOTHY SCHAFER Times Staff

Those who wish to step into the ring on the smart meter bout can now answer the bell.

Intervener status is available to all people who want their voice heard on the prospect of smart meters being installed on West Kootenay homes.

A representative of the Kootenay chapter of Citizens for Safe Technology (CST) urged people to apply for status and express their view if they have even the slightest concern over the installation of the meters.

“What I’m concerned about is we are getting close to the intervention date but people aren’t getting the information needed on the topic,” said Cliff Paluck.

FortisBC filed an application with the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) July 26 for the installation of around 115,000 meters in the West Kootenay and the Okanagan, thrusting the application review process—and the hot

Mitchell Joseph Fleischacker from Sidney, B.C. died from a possible drug-overdose at Shambhala Music Festival this weekend.

The 23-year-old man was found collapsed at the Salmo-based music festival without any identification early on Sunday morning. A joint investigation from the B.C. Coroner’s Service and the Trail RCMP Detachment is ongoing, but specific details about the death have yet to be released.

“There’s not a lot to go on here,” said Sgt. Dan Siebel. “I did hear that he was there alone; he wasn’t part of a group. He may have met up with some individuals while he was there and he did not have any identification with him while he was

at the hospital.”

Some significant follow up is still being done by RCMP investigators and Shambhala security, he added, to positively identify him.

But a recent report from the CBC indicated event organizers saw the man collapse in the food court around 5 a.m. First responders found him unconscious and non-responsive but breathing, said festival executive producer Corrine Zawaduk in a written statement on Monday.

“He was quickly transported to our on-site medical centre where he received a high level of emergency medical treatment from a doctor, a registered nurse, paramedics and several first aid attendants,” said Zawaduk.

potato topic of smart meters—into the public sphere.

CST has employed the services of the chief science officer for Thermografix C o n s u l t i n g Corporation, Curtis Bennett, to act as an intervener on their behalf.

Paluck said the reason they did was anything a person says against the application has to be backed up by science.

“For the average Joe that is a pretty big order,” he said. “As an intervener you have to

back up what you say with knowledge.”

Former Trail city councillor Norm Gabana. is one of two non professional individuals that have applied for intervener status and will be speaking before the BCUC when it announces hearing dates.

He said the commission was pretty lenient to let people intervene.

Smart meters raised concerns with CST when it was revealed they emitted a small amount of radiation in operation, said Paluck.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire.

And two lightningcaused fires in the West Kootenay have sent smoke across the region and into the communities of Nelson and Castlegar, the Southeast Fire Centre reported Monday.

Two forest fires started Sunday are generating smoke and fire suppression activity in the Five-Mile Creek area northeast of Nelson, and the Syringa Creek area northeast of Castlegar.

Both these fires were discovered Aug. 12 at around 1:30 p.m. and are suspected to have been caused by lightning. The twohectare fire burning in Five Mile Creek is located in a watershed and fire officials are taking precautions to protect the area.

Healthy snack options expand with juice bar BREANNE MASSEY PHOTO

Penny and Howard Kuenle are opening a second healthy shop in Trail on Farwell Street: a yogurt shop.

B

eing frugal on food won’t pay off. After struggling with health problems for more than one year, Penny Kuenle decided it was time to change her lifestyle.

Instead of taking tests and visiting a handful of doctors each week, Kuenle visited Booster Juice and decided to change her diet. “They still don’t know what I was sick with—it was an autoimmune disease like cancer or lupus—and they had absolutely no idea what to do with me,� she said. “But I haven’t had any problems since I started doing this.�

This for Kuenle was an unprocessed diet of whole foods and gluten-free products. So successful was the diet she wanted to spread the word and improve the community’s knowledge about the importance of eating healthy foods.

Penny and her husband, Howard, opened up a juice bar in Trail and, like Penny’s diet change, it also became successful. Now the two are looking to increase their healthy reach.

By Breanne Massey “We’re expanding to have a yogurt shop so people can come in and choose their yogurt and whatever topping they want,� she said. “We’re hoping to open it in two weeks, but it depends how much work we get done.�

The couple is currently using every spare moment to take their business to the next level. New floors need to go in and the counters need to be built, but the duo is optimistic about opening before the end of August.

The Kuenle’s have rented the shop next door to the juice bar on Farwell Street, and are knee-deep in renovations ranging from replacing the floors and painting the walls. “Right now our life is focused on our business,� Penny said. “We go in there and work before we open up the juice bar, and then we go back after we close.�

He was more concerned with the financial costs. “I’m not at all opposed to smart meters, if they are economically justified,� he said. “Is this the most economical way of doing it, then do it. If it’s not, then let’s talk about should we be doing it.�

cliental to choose fruits and add toppings to a healthy snack, and the best part is that prices will vary depending on how much they take. “The economy is tough right now but that doesn’t mean going to McDonald’s and choosing a $1 snack is good for you,� she explained. “If people come to our shop they can add their own toppings and they’ll only have to pay for what they take. A lot of people don’t want to pay the same price as others if they’re adding or subtracting from their meals.�

In addition to that, the new yogurt shop will also be selling homemade snacks like chocolate covered cheesecake, chocolate covered bananas, whole fruit popsicles and popsicles with protein.

Stop by Got Juiced is located across the street from Ferraro Foods at 875 Farwell St., and are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. between Monday and Saturday. Contact the Kuenle’s for more information at 3683380.

REGIONAL Man dies near Christina Lake TIMES STAFF A man died after falling out of his canoe Thursday on Moody Lake near Christina Lake.

On Aug. 9 at 9:30 a.m. a report was received

by Grand Forks/Boundary RCMP that a man was in his canoe on Moody Lake cutting weeds out of the lake (Moody Lake is a man made lake on Private Property located approximately three kilometres west of Christina Lake).

The man fell out of his canoe and attempted to climb back but then disappeared under the water.

He was not wearing a life jacket or personal flotation device.

B.C. Ambulance and Christina Lake Fire and Rescue were called to the scene. The man was later located approximately 50 feet from shore, and about eight to 12 feet under the water’s surface.

The B.C. Coroner Service has taken over as the lead agency in this investigation.

The name of the deceased is not being released at this time pending notification of next of kin. He was a 78-year-old Christina Lake resident.

City to hear proposal for FortisBC development

BY JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News

A new FortisBC operations centre could be in the works for Castlegar.

Castlegar city council will use their Monday night meeting to discuss the construction of an operations centre for FortisBC. Ootischenia is the intended site of the sizable project, specifically located at 120 Ooteschenia Road.

FortisBC spokesperson Michael Allison said office space will take up half of the 30,000-square foot structure, while storage space would comprise the other half.

Allison was responding to a phone inquiry from the Castlegar News, and also indicated that a public open house was planned for Aug. 29 at the Castlegar Community Complex.

“Our focus is really on reaching out to the community and getting their input on this project,” said Allison, adding that he was unsure of how long the project had been in development.

“We still have to get approval for this project to go ahead.”

B.C. carbon tax hasn’t met goals: B.C. Taxpayer Federation THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says B.C.’s carbon tax should be scrapped because it hasn’t accomplished its environmental goals, is costing people too much and is hurting the province’s competitiveness.

The federation makes its argument in a submission to a panel set up earlier this year by the provincial government to review the tax.

The tax adds about seven cents to a litre of gasoline and when it was imposed by the Liberal government in 2008 it was billed as revenue neutral.

But the Taxpayers Federation says the income tax cut only covers $228 million of the $1.2 billion the carbon tax rakes in every year, and average taxpayers can’t get other tax breaks like venture capital or industrial property credits.

B.C. arts, culture grants maintained

BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The B.C. government has provided $16.8 million for community arts and culture grants for the current year, matching last year’s total with help from a dwindling 2010 Olympic legacy fund.

Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong announced the funding Monday in Victoria, along with B.C. Arts Council chair Stan Hamilton. The BCAC has juries that assess funding applications, and has already doled out about $6 million of this year’s budget.

With less than half the money allocated in Chong’s current ministry budget, another $6.75 million came from the 2010 Sports and Arts Legacy. That $60 million fund was created in the 2010 budget to offset earlier recession-driven cuts to adult arts and sports organizations from provincial gambling revenues. It will

Cabinet minister Ida Chong and B.C. Arts Council chair Stan Hamilton announce grant fund at Victoria Public Library Monday. be gone after this year, and there is no indication where it might be made up next year.

When the recession hit in 2008, the B.C. Liberal government cut grant funding from the B.C. Lottery Corp. from $156 million to $113 million, then raised it back to $120 million to restore funds to school district parent advisory councils. Applicants were told that arts and

sports funding from lotteries would be restricted to organizations for young people and the disabled.

Premier Christy Clark promised to restore funds while campaigning for the party leadership last year. Once elected, she announced a $15 million increase in gambling funds for a range of organizations including community service

clubs, fairs, festivals and museums.

Chong said she sometimes meets artists and organizations who are not aware that they can apply to the B.C. Arts Council for grants.

Eligibility requirements and application forms are available at www. bcartscouncil.ca.

The largest recipients of arts council funding include the Vancouver Symphony

Orchestra ($1.2 million last year), the Vancouver Art Gallery ($630,000) and the Vancouver International Film Festival ($82,000).

Chong said more than 1,000 grants are given out to 200 B.C. communities, including $1.1 million to writers, publishers and literary festivals, as well as scholarships for new writers.

First death ever associated with festival: CBC FROM PAGE 1 The medical staff then took the man by ambulance to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, but he had a heart attack en route and died, said Zawaduk.

Seibel suggested the man died from a possible overdose.

“We don’t know the drugs that were used,” he said. “We’re working with the coroner to have an autopsy completed.”

According to a recent CBC report, the death is the first ever fatality to occur during the Shambhala Electronic Music Festival’s 15-year history, which draws 10,000 people from all over the world annually during the first week of August.

Police do not have a timeline for this investigation, but expect to learn more about the death after an autopsy is performed. In addition, the Trail RCMP detachment are looking for witnesses who can shed some light on what happened before the man was brought to the hospital.

According to IHA official Karl Hardt, the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH) in Trail does see an increase in emergency department visits during and

POLICE PRESENCE PROMINENT The festival is well known to police for its long-standing reputation for drug use.

As a result, it is the largest single event for police resources in the West Kootenay, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Dan Siebel.

More than 50 police members complete are involved with the eight-day festival.

While the actual Shambhala entertainment side has been concluded, there are still a considerable number of people on site and they’ll be leaving both today and tomorrow.

“So we still have a strong police presence on highways—public safety is following the music festival—some of these presentations would relate to mental health/substance use.

But the KBRH does have additional staff in place to address this increase as necessary, Hardt said.

“It’s also challenging to track specific cases to a large scale event like

a primary concern,” he said.

Over the past several years there were a number of accidents that occurred with individuals leaving Shambhala fatigued and hung over from drug or alcohol use, he said.

RCMP supplemented their Salmo detachment resources of four officers, utilizing a full contingent of traffic and integrated road safety members patrolling and doing checks in the area.

Seibel said traffic statistics related to the event would be released later this week.

“Knock on wood that we don’t have any other major incidents,” he said.

— Massey Shambhala,” he said.

Police have noted that several trafficrelated accidents have occurred after the festival over the past several years.

Often ravers leave the Salmo River Ranch festival feeling fatigued and hungover. A strong police presence will remain in the area for the next two-days.

PROVINCIAL SAVING THE SEA OTTER

Willie Mitchell brings Stanley Cup to Van. Isle hometown

Provinces set own priorities in health care: Aglukkaq

THE CANADIAN PRESS PORT MCNEILL, B.C. - Almost everyone in the tiny northern Vancouver Island town of Port McNeill turned out Sunday to welcome the town’s NHL son carrying the Stanley Cup. Los Angeles Kings defenceman Willie Mitchell came in by helicopter to show off hockey’s treasured cup to about 2,600 residents.

Mitchell told the crowd at the local hockey rink that the community of Port McNeill has been very supportive during his long journey through the NHL. “I dreamed of playing in the NHL and got lucky enough to do that,” he said.

“And just like all these kids down here, I played road hockey games and you know what, holy ‘S’ it’s here,” Mitch added, carefully editing his language for the children in the room.

Mitchell played for the Vancouver Canucks for several years, but signed with L.A. in 2010 and was a key component of the Kings’ penalty-killing unit during the team’s Stanley Cup victory over the New Jersey Devils in June.

Mitchell said when he started in the NHL all he cared about was his first goal, and then he just wanted to be considered a regular player.

Only later do you start thinking about winning the Stanley Cup, he said.

“To be lucky enough to do it, with all the great names on (the Cup), I just feel super, super fortunate. And (to have) a chance to share it with the town, and everyone turn out like they have - yeah, it’s cool.”

The small community is 460 kilometres north of Victoria at the northern end of Vancouver Island. Players on the team that wins the Stanley Cup get one day with trophy.

Mitchell said he was pleased to be able to bring the cup home, to the town that has helped him towards his goals.

“I think it’s pretty unique when you’re from a small town, especially up here at the north end of the island, it’s tough to get to,” said Mitchell, who had three points in 20 playoff games. “Most people who came, and that I was taking photo’s with, were all faces I recognized.”

The Cup is in New Westminster, B.C, on Monday with Kings goaltending coach Bill Ranford, who won two Stanley Cups as a player.

Vets worry settlement in clawback case could be chewed up by legal fees THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA - There’s growing concern among veterans that a big chunk of a multimillion settlement over the clawback of their military pensions will be gobbled up by legal fees.

The federal government announced in June it would not appeal a Federal Court of Canada ruling that rejected clawbacks from the pensions of

disabled veterans; Defence Minister Peter MacKay ordered a stop to the practice on July 1.

A class action lawsuit was filed in March 2007 on behalf of Dennis Manuge and 4,500 other disabled veterans whose long-term disability benefits were reduced by the amount of the monthly Veterans Affairs disability pension they receive.

unfair and unjust to treat pain and suffering awards as income.

The federal government recently appointed University of British Columbia president Stephen Toope to lead the discussions with Manuge’s legal team to arrive at a settlement, including retroactive payments.

But Louise Gagnon, one of the veterans taking part in the court fight, says information from Veterans Affairs Canada suggests legal fees could be included in whatever final agreement is made - something she deems is totally unacceptable.

YELLOWKNIFE Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq says there’s been “a lot of negative, over-the-top rhetoric” in the last year from organizations and individuals about Ottawa’s role in health care, but she suggests they need to look at the bigger picture.

Aglukkaq’s government has come under fire for mishandling the national drug shortage and been accused of failing to take a leadership role in ensuring Canadians have equitable access to healthcare services across the country.

“As federal minister of health, I will not dictate to the provinces and territories how they will deliver services, or set their priorities,” Aglukkaq told the annual meeting of the Canadian Medical Association in Yellowknife on Monday.

“But this does not mean there is not a role for the federal government. Because clearly there is.”

Olympic medals don’t Quebec schools reopen under cloud of uncertainty mean athletes strike it rich back home THE CANADIAN PRESS

BY LINDA NGUYEN THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Over the next few days, Canada’s Olympic medallists will likely return home to a hero’s welcome.

But once the dust settles, it’s unlikely they’ll be cashing in on their Summer Games success. “Canadians really love the Olympics more than they realize,� said Cary Kaplan, president of Cosmos Sports, a sports marketing company in Mississauga, Ont. “It’s bonding. It’s huge. But when it’s over, (the excitement) doesn’t carry over. It tends to drop off a cliff.�

A lack of public interest in amateur sports that are so revered during the Olympics - like diving, kayaking and gymnastics - has historically resulted in corporate Canada passing over Olympians, even ones with gold medals hanging from their necks. “The problem is sponsors don’t sponsor athletes out of the goodness of their hearts, although it would be nice if that was the case,� said Kaplan, whose past clients include Golf Canada and a handful of National Hockey League teams. “The vast majority do it for specific return on investment and economic benefit. Unless an athlete or sport transcends or goes well beyond the Olympics, it’s difficult.�

Canadian soccer star Christine Sinclair said although she’s been lucky so far at winning corporate sponsorships, many of her peers have not experienced the same success. “For me personally, these Olympics, I feel like I’ve been a fortunate one in terms of sponsorships and things like that,� she said Sunday after being named Canada’s flag-bearer for the closing ceremonies in London. “But it needs to happen for more, like of my teammates. Obviously I know the soccer side of things. I think they deserve more.

They’re some of the best players in the world and aren’t seen as such.�

Brock University sports management professor Cheri Bradish said athletes in the 2010 Vancouver Olympics may have had more success with endorsements because those Games are historically more popular in Canada.

Also, because Canada was the host country, there was also more money being poured into advertising and support for the athletes.

But the reality is, Canada just doesn’t offer deals anywhere near the multimillion-dollar ones handed in the U.S. to athletes like swimmer Michael Phelps. “It is very indicative of our marketplace, the size of our country and our marketing dollars,� she said. “We don’t have as many large-scale corporations invested or involved in corporate sponsorship at the level that we see in America.

America is able to capitalize their national heroes on a more global scale.�

The truth is that amateur athletes are hurting for these deals once the Olympic spotlight is over.

Many need the money to fund their training, she said. “It’s the consistent question: Why can’t we support our athletes more?� said Bradish. “You hear all the time, even during these Games, that talent and perseverance is an important part of the equation but so are resources.�

For many athletes, they don’t think about how they can capitalize on their Olympics exposure until it’s too late, said Brant Feldman, a partner with the Los Angeles-based American Group Management. “The bottom line for any athlete that is trying to capitalize on their success... should have folks working for them who are professionals and know what they’re doing,� said Feldman, who represents 14 winter and summer Olympic athletes from Canada, U.S., and Switzerland, including women’s hockey gold medallist Tessa Bonhomme.

MONTREAL - Quebec students at several junior colleges have begun the return to class today under the provisions of a special law imposed by the Charest government.

It’s unclear how smoothly the return will go.

Students at three colleges have opted to end their strikes, which made international headlines last spring, or they have opted to call a truce during the Quebec election campaign. They have voted to continue the boycott at only one of the four institutions to have already voted.

Other votes will be taken today and during the week. As for universities, they return to school later.

About one-third of Quebec students had their spring session interrupted by the strikes. The controversial law passed by the Charest government, Bill 78, mandates their return to complete the semester over the coming weeks and sets stiff fines for people blocking schools.

At one institution in Montreal’s west end, police kept watch and were posted at several doors as students streamed back to class.

Votes are taking place at several colleges where students clashed with police

and prevented their colleagues from going to class.

Federations representing junior college and university students have said they are leaving it up to each association to decide whether to continue the boycott or return to class.

Jean Beauchesne, the president of the Federation of CEGEPs, warns that sessions could be cancelled if students are slow to return to class.

Justice system staggering under weight of federal reforms: bar association THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER Federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson has dodged a call from the Canadian Bar Association for a review of federal legal aid funding.

The association’s National Council passed a resolution at the group’s annual conference in Vancouver calling for a commitment from Ottawa on funding. Dan MacRury, chairman of the group’s national criminal justice section, says the Conservative government’s criminal justice reforms are increasing demand on a system that was already taxed.

MacRury asked Nicholson for the review during his appearance at the conference in Vancouver - but he didn’t get the answer he was looking for.

The federal justice minister says the Conservatives have increase legal aid funding by $30 million over their tenure, and have

maintained funding even in these times of fiscal restraint.

Nicholson also defended his govern-

ment’s criminal justice reforms, saying they target the right people and aim to help victims of crime.

OTTAWA - Health Canada is warning hospitals and other health-care facilities about the risk of entrapment of patients in hospital after three people died and several were injured.

In a notice to hospitals issued Monday, the health agency says 12 incidents have been reported of patients becoming trapped in hospital beds since 2009, including three deaths.

Four similar deaths were reported between 2007 and 2009.

The notice says unprotected side rails and unfitted mattresses are the main hazards for patients, while beds made prior to the year 2000 are identified as being particularly problematic.

Eight out of the 12 cases of injuries and deaths have occurred in nursing homes or long-term care facilities, while three incidents happened in hospitals and one at home.

Health Canada says in one incident, a patient became trapped in the opening between the split side rails of a Stryker Model FL14E1 long-term care electric bed, which is no longer manufactured but is still in use.

The agency advises health-care facilities that still use beds made before 2000 to contact manufacturers for advice on reducing entrapment hazards, including using covers to fit over the gaps between rails and ensuring that replacement mattresses are the correct size for the bed frame.

Egypt: Clean sweep for the civilians

E

gyptian President Muhammad Morsi’s spokesman did not mince words.

He said that the “retirement” of all the senior military commanders in the country represented the completion of the Egyptian revolution. And guess what?

The rest of the officer corps accepted Morsi’s decision.

Even as the spokesman was announcing that Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the Defence Minister, and General Sami Enan, the army chief of staff, were being retired, state television was showing other military officers, Generals Abdel-Fatah al-Sisi and Sidki Sobhi, being sworn in

by President Morsi as their successors.

You could not ask for clearer evidence of the Egyptian officer corps’ collective decision to accept the results of last year’s popular revolution and the subsequent election that brought Muhammad Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood to power.

Especially since the heads of the air force, air defence system and navy were removed from their posts at the same time.

Tantawi, 76 years old and defence minister for the past 20 years, was probably surprised to find himself practically alone

GWYNNE

DYER World Affairs in trying to sabotage the newly elected civilian government.

He was chosen by former dictator Husni Mubarak to keep the military on top, and he worked hard for that goal.

However, most Egyptian military officers are between thirty and fifty years younger than him, and they see the world differently.

Egyptian military officers are a privileged caste who enjoy a far better living standard than other government employees of comparable education and skills, but nobody (at least for the moment) is trying to take that away from them.

So if their lifestyle is secure, why risk it all by attacking an elected government and bringing the mobs back out into the streets?

Egyptian officers are also, in most cases, patriots who want to see their country become a prosperous,

honestly run place. They knew very well that the old regime (whose remnants, like Tantawi, still controlled all the senior military posts) had failed dismally in that regard.

Many were reluctant to let an Islamic party like Morsi’s take full control of the country even though the voters chose it, but they now seem willing to take the chance.

Just two months ago it looked like game, set and match to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), led by Field Marshal Tantawi, which was essentially the old regime minus its former head, Hosni Mubarak.

Only 48 hours before the results of the presidential election were to be announced last June, the Supreme Constitutional Court (whose judges were all appointed by the old regime) issued a decree dissolving the parliament that was elected eight months ago.

They said the rules on the eligibility of candidates had been misinterpreted in some districts, but their real aim was to get rid of a parliament where the Islamic parties had won most of the seats.

Then, as the presidential votes were being counted and it was becoming clear that Morsi would win, the SCAF issued decrees that

gave it the sole right to call a new parliamentary election and to write the constitution under which it would be held. It also stripped the incoming president of any right to control the armed forces, and in particular to appoint or dismiss military officers in senior jobs.

Morsi refused to recognise the legality of these decrees, but he did not openly confront the military either. He just waited for the military high command to make a really embarrassing mistake – which it duly did.

Islamist fanatics had taken advantage of Egypt’s revolution, which distracted everybody’s attention from keeping the militants under control, to create bases in the Sinai peninsula, near the country’s border with Israel.

On 5 August, they attacked an Egyptian border post and slaughtered sixteen guards.

In their own fevered imaginations, they were justly killing collaborators who were hindering true Muslims like themselves from making attacks on Israel.

In the minds of most Egyptians, they had murdered sixteen innocent young Egyptian men whose only crime was serving their country.

Morsi seized the oppor-

tunity to dismiss General Murad Mowafi, the head of military intelligence, for failing to forestall the atrocity.

Mowafi’s post made him one of the most powerful men in the country, but nobody wanted to defend him after such an abject failure of intelligence.

He went quietly – and by this action Morsi had successfully asserted his right to remove military commanders despite the SCAF’s June decree to the contrary.

The most important political skill is remembering your ultimate objectives, but biding your time until some passing event creates an opening for getting what you want.

When the officer corps did not resist Mowafi’s dismissal, Morsi knew that he could win a head-on confrontation with Tantawi and his cronies. They knew it too, and so they went quietly.

Egypt now has a democratically elected civilian government that exercises real control over both domestic and foreign policy for the first time in its history.

What Morsi will do with that power remains to be seen, but he has certainly won the chance to use it.

Monkey business pre-empts Olympic coverage (AP) NEW YORK - Viewers were incensed Sunday night when NBC cut away from the Olympics’ conclusion to air a sitcom featuring a monkey.

During 16 days from London, the sprawl of Olympics coverage was seemingly indomitable, running roughshod through the NBC schedule.

Yet Sunday’s package of highlights from the closing ceremony deferred meekly to the preview of a new NBC comedy, “Animal Practice,” which then was followed by a half-hour of local news.

When taped Olympics coverage came to a grinding halt at 11 p.m. Eastern time, viewers were advised that the festivities would resume in one hour. Accordingly, at midnight Ryan Seacrest greeted viewers who had chosen to stick it out.

“Welcome to the London closing party,” he chirped. “Now it’s time for the big finale.”

That would be a medley pounded out by The Who. Songs included such favourites as “Baba O’Riley” and “My Generation,” but not, as putupon viewers might have noted, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”: After all the build-up, The Who were on hand for just eight minutes.

Public pools help with summer swelter, but swimmers should beware of infections

BY SARAH RATCHFORD THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Growing up as a competitive swimmer in Halifax, Leslie Oland came home from the pool one day to find an unpleasant surprise.

A number of itchy bumps had broken out on her armpit. A doctor eventually told her it was molluscum contagiosum, an infection picked up from skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or infected surfaces. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convinced she caught it from her time in public pools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was at the pool all the time. And now, when I look at how you catch it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dirty towels or damp towels, which are things you would have around the pool.â&#x20AC;?

Turns out going for a swim may not always be as sexy as it seems.

The bumps were about the size of a babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fingernail, and ultimately left Oland with pock marks similar to the aftermath of chicken pox.

While many Canadians have turned to public pools this summer seeking relief from sweltering temperatures, experts say steps can be taken to prevent pool-related maladies like athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot and plantar warts, as well as gastrointestinal infections that spread through exposure to bacteria.

Responsibility for disease prevention, they say, lies both with those who maintain pools as well as with swimmers themselves.

Shelley Beaudet, a senior environmental health officer with Vancouver Coastal Health, says two of the biggest pool-related ailments are infection by cryptosporidium and pseudomonas.

Cryptosporidium is spread when those with gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea use a pool.

Pseudomonas, meanwhile, is a germ commonly found in water or soil, and can cause a rash for those who swim in infected water.

Both cryptosporidium and pseudomonas are resistant to chlorine.

Beaudet says those with gastrointestinal problems should simply stay out of the pool. And pseudomonas can best be avoided by making sure the area surrounding the pool is kept sanitized.

Those using hot tubs should keep their eyes peeled for greasy-looking bubbles on top of the water, a sure sign of unsanitary conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scrub the edges of the pool, anywhere thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a greasy, slimy layer,â&#x20AC;? said Beaudet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep chlorine levels accurate and up to standards, and be careful about how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adding water.â&#x20AC;?

She says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to add fresh water often, and to avoid leaving the end of a hose on the ground where it can attract bacteria.

In Toronto, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a bit of this sort of maintenance to be done. The city operates 63 indoor pools that draw 2.5 million visits per year, and 59 outdoor pools that bring in 1.3 million vis-

its in the summer months alone.

Mahesh Patel is a manager with the healthy environments sector of Toronto Public Health.

He says that while Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public pools are well maintained, it is possible to pick up an infection in any body of water.

The key to avoiding those infections, Patel says, is personal hygiene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a cut or any kind of infection, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go in the pool so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread infections.â&#x20AC;?

Basic washing before getting in the pool is important, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone who enters a pool should take a shower with soap and water. That will remove any sweat, any contaminants on the body before you enter the pool water. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re clean and you go into the pool, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use up the chlorine, so it protects where it needs to protect.â&#x20AC;?

Dr. Allison McGeer is the director of infection control at Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount Sinai hospital. A 23-year veteran of her field, she says that although it is possible to pick up infections at public pools, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mostly safe places to go and have fun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably the biggest risk is athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot from the showers. Generally speaking, public pools are sufficiently carefully maintained, that your chances of getting an infection in a public pool are slim to none,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Most of the risks and outbreaks sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen recently come from parks with wading pools that incorporate spraying water. These can act as breeding grounds for bacteria due to the high volume of children in diapers.

Children in diapers, she said, should avoid public swimming pools.

An accident, after all, would likely cause the pool to be evacuated while maintenance workers deal with the problem by checking filters and adding chlorine. On a hot day, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a desirable outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about reading the rules and understanding that the reason public health people have rules about diapered children and illness and other things is that those rules are important to protect everybody who is using the pools,â&#x20AC;? said McGeer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have rules that say if you have diarrhea or your kid has diarrhea, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring them into the pool. Generally, Canadians are good people and careful about that, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break public health rules that are there for good reason.â&#x20AC;?

In order to avoid plantar warts and athleteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foot, McGeer says the best thing to do is simply wear flip flops and make sure feet are thoroughly dried after getting out of the pool.

For Olandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part, developing molluscum contagiosum didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scare her from using the pool.

But she does make a point of wearing flip-flops, and she is possessive of her towel.

Longtime editor of Cosmopolitan mag, dies in NY at 90

BY HILLEL ITALIE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - Helen Gurley Brown, the longtime editor of Cosmopolitan magazine who invited millions of women to join the sexual revolution, has died at age 90.

Brown died Monday at a hospital in New York after a brief hospitalization, Hearst media company CEO Frank A. Bennack, Jr. said in a statement.

“Sex and the Single Girl,” her grab-bag book of advice, opinion, and anecdote on why being single shouldn’t mean being sexless, made a celebrity of the 40-year-old advertising copywriter in 1962.

Three years later, she was hired by Hearst Magazines to turn around the languishing Cosmopolitan and it became her bully pulpit for the next 32 years.

She said at the outset that her aim was to tell a reader “how to get everything out of life the money, recognition, success, men, prestige, authority, dignity - whatever she is looking at through the glass her nose is pressed against.”

“It was a terrific magazine,” she said, looking back when she surrendered the editorship of the U.S. edition in 1997. “I would want my legacy to be, ‘She created something that helped people.’

My reader, I always felt, was someone who needed to come into her own.”

Along the way she added to the language such terms as “Cosmo girl” - hip, sexy, vivacious and smart - and “mouseburger,” which she coined first in describing herself as a plain and ordinary woman who must work relentlessly to make herself desirable and successful.

She put big-haired, deep-cleavaged beauties photographed by Francesco Scavullo on the magazine’s cover, behind teaser titles like “Nothing Fails Like Sex-cess - Facts About Our Real Lovemaking Needs.” Male centerfolds arrived during the 1970s - actor Burt Reynolds’ (modestly) nude pose in 1972 created a sensation - but departed by the ‘90s.

Biography on life of Julia Child released First aboriginal to coincide with 100th birthday saint

BY JUDY CREIGHTON

celebrated

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The food world lost one of its most memorable icons in 2004, but now a new biography on Julia Child is being released to coincide with what would have been her 100th birthday on Wednesday.

“Dearie: The Remarkable Life of Julia Child” by Bob Spitz (Random House of Canada, hardcover, C$33) takes readers beyond the image of this tall, eccentric woman with a funny voice and establishes her as one of the most distinctive cultural individuals of the 20th century.

This in-depth, intimate tale is full of fresh information about Child from her childhood up until her death. Spitz gleaned an amazing amount of material from her private papers, scrapbooks, letters, keepsakes and notes, family, friends and colleagues, many of whom “were still around who were eager to talk,” he says in an interview.

“I had complete access to all her original television scripts and her notes for her bestselling cookbook, ‘Mastering the Art of French Cooking,”’ says Spitz, a New York award-winning writer whose previous biography was “The Beatles.”

He says her journals also shed light on her job working in Washington’s Office of Strategic Services during the Second World War. It was during one of her postings in Asia that she met Paul Child, another civil servant. They were married in 1946.

The archives at the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University have all of his letters. Child wrote them every day from 1940 until 1974 and they contain vivid descriptions of his and Julia’s lives.

Spitz was in Italy in 1992 on assignment for a magazine when he got a call from a friend at the Italian Trade Commission asking him if he could escort a woman who would be travelling alone in Sicily.

“I said, “I don’t do that kind of work,’ but then they told me it was Julia Child. Of course I accepted,” he said, chuckling.

For several weeks, Child and Spitz crisscrossed the island “eating of course,” he writes in the book. “She was exactly like her television persona: warm, funny, outgoing, whip-smart, incorrigible and most of all real.”

He asked her if he could write her biography and she agreed. “Julia had been disappointed by an earlier biography and knew I was eager to capture her spirit and do a thorough account.”

When the Childs returned to the U.S. after the war, Paul was posted to Paris by the federal government.

He introduced his wife to French cuisine.

Julia was transfixed. Never a good cook, having been brought up in a wealthy home in Pasadena, Calif., she embraced it with fervour, taking lessons at the famed Cordon Bleu culinary arts school.

It was there and from her new friends, chefs and others involved with French cuisine that she developed an obvious talent in the kitchen.

Food became her raison d’etre and she and Paul would dine out often in Paris restaurants, shop in the quaint markets and entertain frequently so Julia could treat her friends to her newfound love.

Returning to the U.S., she was determined to encourage people to learn how to cook the French

In this Oct. 11, 2001 file photo, world famous chef, cookbook author and television show host Julia Child, shares a laugh with students from her alma mater at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. Oct. 11, 2001. Child changed the way Americans look at food as well as the way women looked at cooking and themselves. way and as a result she carved out another career, teaching cuisine on television.

At the age of 50, she became host of “The French Chef,” the first nation-wide cooking show.

It was the first time a woman was seen as a professional in the kitchen.

Frustrated housewives welcomed the larger-than-life personality and showmanship of this outspoken woman on their television screens.

“Julia believed in high-quality ingredients and meals that were well prepared and nothing packaged,’ says Spitz.

He says that before “The French Chef” aired on PBS, many housewives sought convenience in the kitchen and were in thrall to packaged and frozen food, TV dinners, fish sticks, converted rice, Jell-O moulds and iceberg lettuce.

“Watching Julia cook with competence and ease, viewers were convinced that they could too, and American cooking was never the same.”

“If she was still alive she would be thrilled that so many people are concentrating on good food,” says Spitz.

One amusing story he recalls is when he and Child returned from Italy.

“When we got back to the U.S. she told me she had a yen for a particular restaurant,” he says. “It was McDonald’s and we each had a Big Mac and large fries. She was in heaven.”

And no doubt, as she was about to devour the burger, she uttered her famous words: “Bon appetit!”

Former Toronto Star food editor Marion Kane, who knew Child well, has developed a series of documentaries called “Remembering Julia.” It can be found on her website, www.marionkane.com.

ST. LAURENT, Sask. - A Roman Catholic church in Saskatchewan is holding a gospel jamboree to celebrate Canada’s first aboriginal saint.

Kateri Tekakwitha was an AlgonquinMohawk woman who died in 1680. Also known as Lily of the Mohawks, Kateri is considered the patron of ecology, nature, and the environment.

She was born in the United States in what is now New York state and moved to a Mohawk reserve outside Montreal when she was about 20.

Pope Benedict approved her canonization late last year and she is to be sainted Oct. 21 at the Vatican.

Roy Wilmhoff of the Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church on the Sturgeon Lake First Nation says the jamboree on Tuesday and Wednesday will feature prayers, singing and services.

Kateri was approved for sainthood when the church recognized as a miracle the healing of a five-year-old boy who had flesh-eating disease. In 2006, a Washington state boy, about five years old, hurt himself while playing basketball. The young boy bumped his chin on the ground and contracted flesheating disease. Doctors removed much of the boy’s face, but the disease was unrelenting. They had come to a point where they couldn’t do much more.

Eventually a priest was brought in to anoint the boy for healing purposes. A sister of the parish visited the child with a relic of Kateri’s and told the boy’s mother to place it on her son. A short time later, the disease stopped progressing.

Maine repeats at RTCC Men’s Open

Birchbank awards scholarship

Birchabank welcomes 100 golfers for three-day event

BY JIM BAILEY Times Sports Editor

It may not be the PGA Championship and he may not be Rory McIlroy, but Dylan Maine shot an identical score at the 68th Rossland-Trail Men’s Open championship on Sunday to best a field of 100 golfers on the links of the par-72 Birchbank golf course.

As McIlroy sipped from the Wanamaker Cup after destroying the field with a 66 at the sea-side Kiawa Island golf course, Maine repeated as the Men’s Open champion carding a scorching 6-under par 66 of his own in the final round of the 54-hole tournament at Birchbank.

The Spokane golfer once again surpassed last year’s runner up Jason Pitt of Chewelah, and like McIlroy, finished with nary a bogey in the final round.

“It’s always good to go bogey-free and defend, that’s nice,” said Maine. “It came down to the third day again. I parred the first one then birdied the next three so I kind of got going.”

Maine led Pitt by two strokes heading into the 405 yard, par 4, 17th hole. After good drives, each would put his approach shot on the green, yet it was Pitt who stepped up and drained a 25-foot birdie putt to draw within a shot of the lead.

“That was a good putt,” said Pitt. “I’m lucky it hit the hole, I mean that would have been a ways by, but I knew to have a chance to get into a playoff I needed to make that.”

Maine also had a chance at birdie but the ball came up about

Clockwise from top: Spokane’s Dylan Maine sticks his approach shot close on the 15th hole, after making this birdie putt on the scenic 14th. Maine went on to win the Rossland-Trail Open with a three-round total of 209. 2010 champion Kevin Hogg blasts out of the sand on 18 to set up his sixth birdie in the final 10 holes to win low net in the first flight. an inch short on his 12-footer.

Pitt had birdied the 514-yard, par-5 18th on each of the earlier rounds, while Maine had settled for par in both rounds.

“Man I hit my tee shot there a good three days in a row including the practice round. I mean the most I’ve had in was like 180 yards, right in the middle of the fairway every day, and I tried to hit the same shot I’ve been hitting all weekend.”

Pitt cranked the drive, but it tailed right, catching the treeline to leave him without a

look at the green, and handing the advantage back to Maine who was waiting and watching.

“I actually decided kind of to watch what he did, and I saw that he pushed his drive right so I decided to go conservative and just hit 3-wood off the tee,” Maine said. “From there I just laid up and tried to go for birdie, didn’t try to hit anything spectacular, but if I hit par then I’d be fine.”

Pitt punched out of the trees, then knifed a 75-yard wedge through the green. He had a about a 50 foot chip for birdie, but another

miss sealed the deal, as Maine hit his approach to about 10 feet from the flag and calmly two putted for the par and the victory.

Pitt led the tournament after two rounds shooting a 71 Friday and 69 on Saturday to sit at 4-under, while Maine trailed by three shots with rounds of 74 and 69 to open the tournament, before his sensational Sunday.

“I hadn’t been hitting the ball good coming into the tournament and just kind of slowly improved each day, got a couple good swing thoughts going on the

range and then what do you know – a 66 on the final day,” said Maine.

Pitt’s third-round lead didn’t last long as Maine birdied the second and third holes to draw even, and both would birdie four, to sit deadlocked at -4.

However Maine birdied seven and Pitt bogeyed nine to give Maine a two shot lead at the turn that he would never relinquish. After carding a 32 on the front nine, Maine would add two more birdies on number 10 and 14 to go 6-under, the low score of the tournament.

With the rising cost of tuition, an award like Howie Fishwick Memorial scholarship is indeed a welcome boost to a young person’s education.

The Rossland-Trail Country Club at Birchbank (RTCC) announced that Fruitvale’s Spencer Donaldson is the winner of this year’s $2,500 Fishwick scholarship.

Donaldson, who is attending the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George this fall to study environmental engineering, says the award will certainly help out in making his first year a success.

Donaldson has worked in the Birchbank pro shop, back shop, and as part of the grounds crew for a number of years and hopes to apply his studies to the golf world.

“Environmental engineering can help you get into water supply like for golf courses and things SPENCER DONALDSON like that,” said Donaldson.

“I think it would be cool to be water treatment (manager) for a golf course. You can come to a golf course and say ‘Okay you can put holes this close to the water without putting pollutants into the river.’”

The scholarship is in its second year, and was bequeathed by long-time RTCC member Howie Fishwick, whose estate donated $100,000 to maintain the fund.

The scholarship seeks persons demonstrating dedication and drive in pursuing their post-secondary goals. Eligible applicants must be a junior member at the Birchbank golf course and enrolled in a post-secondary institution. In addition, the applicant must write a short essay and answer questions relevant to merit.

“As far as why he was selected, it was a combination of not only his membership, and although working here isn’t a criteria, but I think it was looked upon that his contributions to the club have been even more significant than someone who has just been a junior member,” said Birchbank business manager Kelly Rintoul.

The scholarship is unique to Birchbank and, with the generous fund intact and managed by the LeRoi Foundation, will be a legacy for many years to come.

“It’s something that’s going to continue, so from the Club’s perspective I think it’s a really good way to promote the club, junior memberships, and education,” added Rintoul.

SPORTS NEW YORK METS

ROSSLANDTRAIL MEN’S OPEN

Bay on light duty for now

BY TIMES STAFF With Ben Sheets on the mound for the Braves, Sunday night could have been an opportunity to get a struggling Jason Bay going.

Sheets recently returned to the mound after a two year hiatus. But in 30 career at-bats, Bay has a .400 average against Sheets, and no Met has faced Sheets as many times as the Trail native.

Because of that, manager Terry Collins thought about inserting Bay into the lineup.

But just days after the team announced that their expensive outfielder (in the midst of a four-year, $66-million contract) would become a platoon player, Collins decided to go with youth over experience, starting Jordany Valdespin in left field.

“I just thought I wanted to put Valdespin in there and see what he could do,” Collins told ESPN New York. “We’re trying to really get a better feel for where he needs to play and what kind of a player he’s going to be, so I wanted to get him in there against Sheets.”

Valdespin went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run as the Mets

squeeked out a 6-5 victory.

The Mets announced last week that the left fielder Jason Bay will become a platoon player, but general manager Sandy Alderson said the Mets have no plans to swallow the final guaranteed season of his four-year, $66 million contract.

“Certainly, there are times when it is appropriate to eat a contract,” Alderson said. “There are other times when it is not.

Jason Bay is not going anywhere, nor is his contract.”

Bay will not be going out to the field as often. Alderson said the right-handed hitting Bay will predominately play against left-handed pitching the rest of the way. Manager Terry Collins later confirmed that Bay will be sitting against most righties as the left-handed hitting Jordany Valdespin and Mike Baxter will receive more playing time.

“If I had a better leg to stand on, I could say something,” Bay said after going 1-for-4 in a 4-2 loss to the Marlins at Citi Field last week. “But, as of right, now, I don’t. I don’t want to be a distraction. I want to go out there and help out anyway I can. That is kind of the position that I’m

in.”

Bay, who turns 34, is due to make $16 million next season.

If he were to have 600 at-bats in 2013, his contract calls for $17 million in 2014. The most at-bats Bay has had in a season as a Met is 444 last year. If Bay doesn’t return in 2014, the Mets would owe him a $3 million buyout so, essentially, there is $19 million that the Mets would have to swallow if they didn’t bring back Bay next season.

Entering Tuesday’s game, in which he was due to start against lefty Wade LeBlanc, Bay was hitting .154 with five homers and 11 RBIs in 130 at-bats. This season he has suffered a concussion and a fractured rib, which have limited him to 40 games.

Room to improve Collins said that the injuries have derailed the Mets because of their lack of depth. But he admitted that the demise of two key early contributors has only compounded the team’s issues.

Outfielders Lucas Duda and Kirk Nieuwenhuis each have been demoted in recent weeks.

He said that both must improve for the Mets to be successful next season.

Birchbank’s Men’s club assistant captain Derrick Simister (left) and club captain Rob Drezdoff (right) present the Rossland-Trail Open championship trophy to Dylan Maine, who shot 7-under par to win the event for the second year in a row.

Nikki Haley, worked last week to bring another major to the state - and sooner rather than later.

It took 21 years and plenty of tweaks for the PGA Championship to play The Ocean Course after the famed Ryder Cup matches here in 1991.

Warren believes the course’s reputation and how it performed for a national audience will draw more of golf’s biggest tournaments, although he understands that’s not fully up to him. The pros, PGA of America leaders, fans and media will all weigh in the next few weeks how things went.

“If all that judgment comes back that it was a great experience, then I would expect we’d get more championships,” he said.

South Carolina’s governor arrived Thursday and was spending the weekend watching golf and visiting with corporate clients who might one day want to locate businesses in the

state after a favourable experience at Kiawah Island. Haley also said she’d do what she good to make sure the PGA of America knew how delighted the state was to serve as host of the year’s final major.

“I stay in contact with the PGA and let them know that we are a very friendly golf state and can handle as many tournaments as they ever want to do,” she said. “And I will work hard to see that they do that.”

Haley was on the front lines last year when the state’s regular PGA Tour event, the RBC Heritage, was without a sponsor and on its last financial legs heading into 2012.

She flatly declared in April of 2011 that new backing would be found and the Heritage would remain a South Carolina tradition.

Two months later, she and other state leaders helped convince RBC and Boeing to back the event and keep it on Hilton Head through 2016.

TV’s ‘Grimm’ is back and Season Two will give some answers

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Actor Bitsie Tulloch as Juliette Silverton and David Giuntoli as Nick Burckhardt are shown in a scene from the TV show ”Grimm.”

BY SARAH RATCHFORD THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - The producers of TV’s “Grimm” say viewers will finally get some answers when Season 2 kicks off Monday night.

The fantastical show focuses on Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), a Portland detective descended from a group of criminal profilers known as Grimms, who battle various supernatural forces.

At the conclusion of Season One, Nick’s life had become, well, complicated.

He’d had an encounter with his mother (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), even though he thought she was dead; his partner Hank (Russell Hornsby) was in rough emotional shape; and his fiancee, Juliet (Bitsie Tulloch), was in a potential life-anddeath situation.

“Is Juliet dying? Well you’ve got to stay tuned to find that out,” co-producer David Greenwalt teased in a recent conference call with reporters.

Greenwalt said the return of Nick’s mother will all be explained in the first episode.

“She’s been on a long quest and they have lots of issues to work out. One with the other.

And boy does he have a lot of questions he wants answered,” he said. “We’re not going to continue to tease people. But, in the first episode and in the second episode too, a lot of these questions will be very clearly answered.”

The show is a hybrid of many different elements, said Greenwalt, who formerly produced cult fave “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

“It’s a part procedural, part genre show,” he explained. “So if you just like a kind of a ‘Law & Order’-solve-a-crime, you can watch this show.

If you like mythology and critters you can really watch this show.”

While Nick has already been through his share of trials, Greenwalt says he’ll face something he’s never dealt with before in the upcoming season.

“It will be bigger, and badder, and more dangerous, and more vicious,” he hinted.

He says the character will come into his own more as the series progresses, and that learning about his past from his mother will help with that.

Greenwalt says Burkhardt will come “to grips with a lot of the emotional things that have happened to him.”

“We’ll also reveal some more of the deeper history with the Grimms and tie it to some more real events in the past,” adds co-producer Jim Kouf.

Balancing the show’s multi-faceted nature can be difficult at times, Greenwalt and Kouf admit.

The hardest part, they say, is fitting plot developments into short periods of time.

“We always are thinking we are making movies every week,” Kouf said. “And we find that on a TV schedule, that’s really difficult. So we’re always pushing the limits of what our current crew can actually accomplish in eight days. Because we write big action-based stories.”

“Grimm” airs on NBC and CTV.

LEISURE

Consider finding new godmother for daughter Dear Annie: I am no longer speaking to my best friend of more than 20 years. I thought “Katie” and I were friends for life.

She is even godmother to my daughter.

Two years ago, we invited Katie and her husband to my 50th birthday party. My husband offered to let them stay with us so they wouldn’t need a hotel.

They did not attend, stating that the 10-day RSVP time frame was not sufficient notice to travel the four-hour drive from their home to ours. Yet two weeks before, they made a sixhour drive to see other friends for a mini-vacation. I understood that they might not want to take another road trip, but I certainly expected a card or phone call. I received neither.

After a month, Katie called just to chat. It was an uncomfortable conversation.

Afterward, she wrote me a letter detailing her excuses for ignor-

ing my birthday and said her card must have been lost in the mail.

In January, we invited Katie and her husband to my daughter’s sweet 16 party.

They declined, but sent her a magazine to read.

In June, we sent them an invite to my daughter’s confirmation.

Since Katie is her godmother, we thought she’d want to be there.

She declined again via email, and there was no card.

It is unfortunate that my daughter has become a victim of my strained relationship with Katie, who is now ignoring both of us. I keep hoping she will make some type

of good-will gesture, a card or a phone call, and all will be forgiven.

For my daughter’s sake, I want her godmother to be connected. What would you suggest? -Peeved and Perplexed in Pennsylvania Dear Perplexed: We don’t know if Katie wants to sever the friendship or if she is just overwhelmed with other things and has been inattentive.

But she is your child’s godmother, and this implies religious responsibilities. Please call Katie and tell her nicely that you understand it’s been difficult for her to stay in touch, and if she would like to be relieved of her obligations to your child, you will release her and name another godparent. Her response will give you a better idea of where you stand.

Dear Annie: My sister, “Jackie,” has multiple children with multiple men. She has been using government

assistance for the past 10 years. She tells her caseworker that she’s unemployed and lives with her kids, when she actually lives with her current boyfriend and has three different jobs that pay cash.

Jackie was recently charged with fraud and was denied this month’s benefits and fined for the benefits she received over the past five months. Now she, her boyfriend and her children want to move in with my husband and me because they can’t afford their bills.

My husband and I have been married less than a month. We need some time alone together. How do I tell Jackie no? -- Stuck Between Dear Stuck: In plain English. Jackie needs to learn how to be more responsible instead of scamming the system and taking advantage of her relatives. Moving in with you will only postpone

this, and you will be writing us again in a year wondering how you got into this mess.

Please set your boundaries now, and tell your sister that you love her, but you cannot support her.

Dear Annie: I read

the letter from “Married to an Octopus,” whose husband can’t keep his hands off of her. Been there!

I found out later that his doctor said my exhusband not only was a sex addict, but also suffered from bipolar

disease.

“Married” needs to get her husband in for a thorough physical. -- Used To Be Married to an Octopus, Too. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

LEISURE

YOUR HOROSCOPE

By Francis Drake For Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You will have to practice patience when dealing with partners and close friends today, because someone is doing a slow boil, and it could be you. It looks like you just have to suck it up.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Things at work are tough today. This could refer to a relationship with a coworker, or it could be the job itself. Fortunately, tomorrow is a much better day! (Have courage.)

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Children might be an increased burden or responsibility today. Just accept this; it goes with the territory. And remember -- you were a kid once, too.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Family relationships are tough today. You might have

a clash of opinions, especially with an older relative, but you feel you can’t speak out.

(The worst!) Tomorrow is a better day.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Remember that old saying, “If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all”? You might want to keep that in mind today.

Tomorrow the clouds blow away.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You might feel crunched financially today. When the going gets tough, the tough go for coffee.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You might feel frustrated today, because no matter what you do, you encounter obstacles. Be comforted that many people feel this way today. You’re not alone. And tomorrow is a much better day!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

You might be quietly angry or upset about a situation that is behind the scenes.

You feel like your hands are tied and you cannot speak.

(Yikes.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) It’s not easy getting along with others in a group situation today. If you push, someone just pushes back.

Therefore, wait until tomorrow to achieve what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) It’s not easy dealing with authority figures today. You feel that “talk to the hand” is all you get. (It’s true.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Travel or anything having to do with publishing, the media, higher education, medicine or the law will feel like a grind today. Things are just difficult.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) This is a poor day to divide something or ask for your fair share. People don’t feel generous or cooperative. In fact, they feel quite the opposite.

YOU BORN TODAY You are decisive and have a takecharge quality, which generally puts you in a position of leadership. In addition, you have a kind of nobility that lends authority to whatever

Woman jumps off ferry in middle of Kootenay Lake

BY BOB HALL Nelson Star

The crew on the MV Osprey 2000 made quick work of a rescue after a woman in her mid-30s jumped off the ferry in the middle of Kootenay Lake on Wednesday evening.

The incident happened on the 6:10 p.m. run from Balfour to Kootenay Bay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall off the Osprey,â&#x20AC;? said Western Pacific Marine regional manager Bryan Coe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The assumption our crew made was that she thought she could swim, but we were midpoint.â&#x20AC;?

The woman had to make it over two restraining lines to get to the edge of the ship.

She hopped off on the

stern end of the ferry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once she hit that lake, my guess is that she had a mind-altering experience,â&#x20AC;? said Coe. The crew of six on the Osprey was quick to react. Coe said the Osprey was going about 16 knots (47 km/h) at the time the nonlocal woman jumped.

Though the ferry has an ability to do a crash stop, the captain instead slowed the ship down and the crew accessed the zodiac rescue boats. Coe said the rescue only took about four minutes.

Because the Osprey was mid-point on its run, the MV Balfour was also in the immediate vicinity. That ferry was also stopped and the crew from that ship

boarded the zodiac rescue boats to help, but the situation was under control by the Osprey crew.

By chance there was a BC Ambulance crew on board heading over to Kootenay Bay. Once aboard the Osprey, the woman was treated by the paramedics and once they arrived to Kootenay Bay the situation was handed over to the RCMP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The report is very complimentary to the crewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed and efficiency, and it had a happy ending,â&#x20AC;? said Coe, adding that three of the six Osprey crew that night were female, including the captain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The crew has every right to be proud of the way they handled it.â&#x20AC;?

The fact that the lake was calm and the incident happened during the evening hours helped with the positive outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The news was that it was a daylight operation. If had to happen, this was the best-case scenario,â&#x20AC;? said Coe, adding that if there were whitecaps on the lake it would have been much more difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As situations go, it worked out well.â&#x20AC;?

Coe has been at the Kootenay post of Western Pacific Marine for the last 17 months.

Prior to his move he spent 38 years with BC Ferries on the coast where man-overboard situations happened regularly. A captain himself, Coe said

BOB HALL PHOTO

There was some drama involving the MV Osprey 2000 on Wednesday night when a woman jumped overboard. though the crews all train for the scenario, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rare occurrence in these parts.

The last incident on Kootenay Lake happened in August 2010 when a man jumped off the Osprey as it pulled out of Balfour on its 9:40 p.m. run. Though

the crew launched rescue boats at the time, the man refused help.

The foot passenger swam to shore and then ran away.

A similar incident on the Harrop ferry happened during the summer of 2008 when a woman jumped over

and swam to shore.

Coe couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speculate on the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivations for jumping off the ship, but said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a terrible idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The beach might have looked a lot closer when she thought about it,â&#x20AC;? he said.
