Cautionary tale for dog owners Woman loses dog to buck; warns of taking animals out at night C AROLYN GR ANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca

A Townsite woman, Tage Young, is warning pet owners about taking their animals out at night after her oneyear old Airedale Terrier was killed by a deer early Monday morning.

“It was my pup,” Young said. “She has colitis and has to go out on a regular basis.

I’ve been working evenings so she is on a schedule to go out quite late. At about 1:30, she whined to go out.

“I got the flashlight and followed her out.”

Young says that she always takes her flashlight out to shine the way to the dog pen where her dog was trained to go. Her pup was not on a leash but was very well trained to come when called and go only the short distance to the pen. Unfortunately, Young didn’t get an opportunity to call out to her terrier.

Dr. Jane Goodall discussed her Roots and Shoots program with local educators at the St. Eugene Mission Resort on September 30 during her three day whirlwind tour of the Canadian Rockies. Goodall told an enthusiastic crowd that she was stunned by the alpenglow on the mountains as she arrived. The St. Eugene stop was one of several appearances for Goodall. She also spoke at the Key City Theatre later in the evening and visited schools on Monday. See story, page 3.

The Kimberley Community Fair has been packed up and by Monday morning Marysville Arena was back to normal —no sign of the hundreds of exhibitors and customers who spent the week-

end selling and shopping.

Overall, it was excellent, says Chair Bev Middlebrook.

“It went well, it went off without a hitch,” she said. “I had one vendor tell me that on Saturday he sold more in three hours than he had in 17 years. Other people said it blew the doors off of previous years, other people said they didn’t do as well this year. There’s no rhyme or reason to it.”

Numbers were down about 300 over the previous year’s gate, she said, with Saturday down and Sunday up.

TORONTO — A new report says the arrival of U.S. retailer Target in Canada next year will take a bite out of the sales of several key rivals.

But Barclays Capital says other retailers that don’t overlap in their offerings may benefit from the increased traffic generated by the new stores.

In a report assessing the impact of Target’s arrival, the investment firm says Wal-Mart, Sears Canada, Old Navy, Loblaw’s Joe Fresh brand and Canadian Tire are the retailers most at risk.

Barclays says Sears is the most at risk of the general retailers with significant overlap in its offerings and 37 per cent of its locations less than a kilometre away from a Target location.

The report calls discount retailer Dollarama Inc. a special case

among retailers as they offer something different from Target.

Barclays says it believes Dollarama will “benefit when a Target opens nearby.’’

Canadian Tire is expected to take a hit, but Barclays analyst Jim Durran notes that when Wal-Mart first launched in Canada, Canadian Tire was able to recover by the following year.

“There is not doubt that Canadian Tire will suffer some sales erosion to Target, particularly in Target’s perceived ‘go to’ categories such as housewares, apparel and seasonal merchandise,’’ the report said.

However Barclays noted that Canadian Tire’s most loyal customers generate a majority of its sales and just 30 per cent of the Canadian retailer’s stores will be within five kilometres of a Target.

Selkirk to present Les Misérables

Can you hear the people sing?

For the Bulletin

Les Misérables has been in the news this year, with a new major motion picture in the works. It’s also going to hit the stage right here in Kimberley, when Selkirk Secondary raises the curtains on February 13th, 2013.

Directed by Bob McCue and Sven Heyde, the team that brought The Sound of Music to the McKim stage in 2011, Les Mis finished auditions in the middle of September, and is already into the second week of rehearsals.

“We have a tremendous cast”, says McCue of the over 40 students involved in this production. “This is the largest cast in a Selkirk production that we’ve seen, and it also includes many younger actors. We’re also ex-

cited that we were able to fill every role with SD6 students. This is proof that the musical theatre programs in Kimberley are thriving and growing.”

Heyde, in charge of music again, is thrilled to be working with such a great group of singers. The orchestra will also be very strong, with a few exceptional students and over 15 local semi- and professional musicians volunteering their time.

“The music for this show is incredibly beautiful, and much of it is very difficult. So far we’ve seen a phenomenal work ethic from the actors. It’s going to be a great show”, says Heyde.

Set in the early 1800s in France, Les Misérables follows the hero, Jean Valjean, as he goes from a life of crime to become a noble, honest man. He is doggedly pursued

throughout the show by police inspector Javert. Along the way he adopts the young girl Cosette from her dying mother Fantine, a former employee of his at his factory, and raises her as his daughter. Upon reaching adulthood, Cosette falls in love with Marius, a student in Paris. Marius, however, is about to follow Enjolras, the leader of the students, into a revolution. All of these stories and more intertwine, and are propelled forward

by Claude-Michel Schoenberg’s incredible score.

Gustaf Hagland will play the role of Jean Valjean, with Gaetan Boué playing opposite him as Inspector Javert. Aria Siega will play Cosette, with Emery Hoko playing as Young Cosette. Enjolras will be played by Clara MacLeod, with Connor Klassen playing Marius.

Eponine will be played by Devin Fikis, and

Buck kills Townsite dog FROM Page 1 “She went right up the four stairs, her two front paws hit the grass and a buck came out of nowhere and gutted her like a fish,” said an emotional Young.

She took the Airedale to the vet but she died on the way.

“She didn’t charge the deer or bark at it. She just took a step forward to go to the dog pen.”

Young says she worries about what would have happened if her mother, who is elderly with limited vision, had taken the dog out.

“I guess I should have had my girl on a leash to go that short distance, but she was well trained to come when called and we were going straight to the dog pen. I had a flash light. My dogs are never outside loose. I am always with them when they go out to the pen. They are always leashed when I walk them until I get onto the Lois Creek Trails.

“I thought she would be safe if I was with her. I’m just concerned that a person might go outside, maybe an elderly person, and get jumped without even seeing the

deer. These animals are in rut and fully aggressive, protecting their territory. I was eight feet from the dog, six feet from the deer, but I didn’t see it in time.”

Ironically, Young says that up to now she has been very opposed to the deer cull, and still doesn’t think most deer are a danger, but she does worry about bucks in the rut.

“I was totally against the cull.

Now I don’t know how I feel about it.”

Gemma Remple-Hockey will play Fantine.

Gavroche will be played by Declan Armstrong. The Thenardiers, whom audiences love to hate, will be played by Blake Sharpe and Jordan Anderson.

No production could come off without an incredibly strong team, and Les Mis is certainly no exception. Sioban Staplin will return to do costumes, Penny Flegel will be in charge of props, Ryan Treber and his woodshop students at Selkirk will be building sets, Tessa Rokosh will be choreographing the show, and Frida Viklund will be the photographer.

Les Misérables will play at McKim Theatre February 13-16, 2013. Tickets will go on sale in the New Year. Please come join us for what we are confident will be an outstanding production.

2012 Fair success FROM Page 1 “I’m not sure why. It could be the economy, it could be that the Cranbrook market is extending its season — that cost us a couple of vendors I think, though not enough to make a huge impact. But there were lots of different activities and events all weekend —golf tournaments, minor hockey all sorts of different things. That can all have an impact.”

Numbers down at the gate do have an impact on how much non-profit groups realize from the fair. All proceeds from the Fair go to non-profit groups in Kimberley.

The Fair is always a three way partnership between community, volunteers and vendors.

But overall, many more positives than negatives.

“A booth that has been coming for 11 years sent a $50 cheque over and above their fee.

“The $50 was a donation,” Middlebrook said. “They said the people in Kimberley are so great and friendly, the fair committee is so helpful and nice. I hear a lot of those comments — that people love to come here. As Chair I try to keep it friendly, fun and laid back.”

The call of the chimpanzee

48 one minute rounds raised funds for Jenna Homeniuk.

“The Fight for Jenna” For the Bulletin

On Saturday, September 22, Evolution Martial Arts held their first annual Fisher Peak Challenge Spar-athon at Selkirk High School Gymnasium in Kimberley.

The event was a gruelling 2,880 seconds — or 48 one-minute rounds — of sparring in a friendly atmosphere, which equals the same height as Fisher Peak in metres.

The event was held to raise money to help 14-year-old Jenna Homeniuk, who is currently in Calgary’s Childrens Hospital receiving treatment for leukemia.

There were 20 participants

who took part in the Spar-athon, with members not only from Evolution Martial Arts, but with a number from the Rocky Mountain Academy of Martial Arts, including Guru Joel Huncar, who graciously offered the support of some of his members to spar in the event. The event was a great success not only for Jenna, but for the spirit of friendship, cooperation and perseverance shown during the sparring.

Event organisers Simon Wachon and Robyn Cockell would like to give special thanks to everyone who took part, but especially to Bella — who at just four years old completed the whole spar-athon and raised over $400

— to Joel from RMAMA and to Mike Honeyman of Arrow Installations, who also took part, and generously matched the amount of $2027.11 raised on the day, to send Jenna $4054.22 in total for the event.

All the event participants hope the extra money will come in handy for Jenna and her family while they are living with treatment and the hardships which go with it. They know Jenna is a very positive young lady, and they all want Jenna to keep her chin and her trade mark thumb up.

Skiers in dry land training Teck Regional Dryland Training Camp a Success for our KIXS Team If you were one of the many people this past weekend hiking or biking on the Rails to Trails or the new trails at the Kimberley Nordic Club, you would have seen lots of young skiers on roller-skis and running with ski poles. The KIXS Team hosted one of 3 provincial Dryland Cross Country Ski camps here in Kimberley, with the generous support of Teck. 23 young skiers, along with their committed parents and coaches, came to Kimberley for 3 days of running, hill-climbing, orienteering with the

Thanks again to all of you!

There are few words that accurately describe the quickness of Dr. Jane Goodall’s trip to the Kootenays. Whirlwind is one that comes to mind. But the legacy she left and the knowledge and ideas implanted into the minds of youth and adults alike is even harder to describe.

Goodall, affectionately known as Dr. Jane to the young people involved in her Roots and Shoots program, was the keynote speaker at a variety of events on September 30 and October 1.

She met with educators, business owners, children and more. Not only did

she promote Roots and Shoots, but she talked of her illustrious career of a primatologist through engaging story telling that had audiences of 600 people hanging off her every word.

To the thrill of all audiences, Goodall began each lecture with the pantoot, the call of the chimpanzee. It was returned enthusiastically by the adults and children alike.

Goodall said her story began as a child who loved animals. She told the Key City Theatre crowd Sunday evening of her mother’s support. She once went to bed with a handful of earthworms, and her mother turned that funny experience into a chance to teach a young Jane Goodall where the worms really belong: in the garden, and although she thought they would enjoy a snooze in her human bed, they would die if kept away from their home.

“I was just lucky I had an extraordinary mother,” she said.

When Jane was 11 to 12 years old, she first read Tarzan perched in a beech tree at home. It was that story that inspired her to go to Africa later on in life.

Jane Goodall “I fell passionately in love with Tarzan, and what did he do? He flippin’ married the wrong Jane,” she said to much laughter.

Goodall’s journey to Africa wasn’t a clear path. She was, after all, a girl in the 1960s and international travel was not common for women of her age. But again, her mother’s influence prevailed. She told her daughter to find a way, and Goodall did just that. She became a secretary and eventually got invited to holiday in Kenya by a friend. She worked as a waitress to save up money, in a story that is probably being reflected by hundreds of East Kootenay youth this veery second.

When she got to Kenya, Goodall did not overstay her welcome for long, instead taking the opportunity to get a job in Nairobi. It was there she met famed archeologist Louis Leakey, who she impressed with her knowledge of animals despite never setting foot in a university.

“Nothing can compare to that experience of moving away from England,” she said. “It was there that Louis Leakey decided I was the one that he was looking for for years.”

Leakey gave Goodall a job as a secretary, and started looking for funding to send young Goodall to Gombe Stream National Park to study chimpanzee behaviour. It was a challenge, as Goodall was a young woman. For the first four months of her time in Gombe, Goodall was joined by her mother.

Goodall struggled in those first months, unable to find the breakthrough she was hoping for. She felt pressure to observe something truly remarkable.

“I knew that if I didn’t see anything exciting before the money ran out, that I would have let Louis Leakey down,” she said. Her mother jumped in, pointing out little curiosities displayed by the chimps. The way they interacted, their family patterns. “She boosted my moral.”

After her mother left, Goodall finally saw the breakthrough. Peering through binoculars one day, she spotted a chimp poke a twig into a termite mound, wait a few moments and then remove it, sucking off the termites one by one with his lips. He then picked a branch, stripped it of its leaves, and used that to poke into the mound, fishing for termites. She had just shattered the illusion of man the toolmaker.

The finding was so remarkable, that Leakey was able to find more funding. He even sent a film crew to document Goodall, which was important because Goodall lacked a university education.

Upon return, Leakey decided Goodall had to get that piece of paper – but there was no time for a Bachelor of Education. She went straight to a doctorate in ethology at Cambridge University.

During her time at Gombe, Goodall also noticed aggression in chimpanzees that had never been reported before. She was shocked when other scientists told her not to report her findings.

“Some of these postures are identical to ours,” she said. “There were scientists who told me, ‘Jane, you should play that down.’”

Goodall didn’t, instead she thought about the connection between violence amongst chimps and warfare amongst man, and the potential for good and evil in a human being.

“It’s up to us to grow one and suppress the other,” she said. “There isn’t a sharp line between us and the animal kingdom.”

Goodall’s studies also saw her be accused of what she calls the greatest sin –anthropomorphism. The giving of human traits to animals. This because she opted to give the chimps she studied names rather than numbers, as was common practice at the time.

“Animals indeed are much more like us than scientists would let us believe,” Goodall said. She remembers as a child, studying her dog named Rusty. She credits the dog with teaching her that animals do have personalities.

When Goodall began researching chimpanzees at Gombe in 1960, she said there were about 3 million of the animals in 21 different countries. That number was dwindled to 300,000 due to the bushmeat trade, forest destruction and more. There are only about 100 chimps in Gombe now.

Going overboard with the Minoans “If you wish to appear wise, contradict yourself frequently.”

Anonymous

A

while ago my son loaned me a book to read. It was one of those old-fashioned ones with pages made out of paper and bound with card-boardy stuff. It felt good in my hands as I flicked through it; it even had illustrations. I placed it in the bathroom ready to be enjoyed. Our bathroom is probably the only fully tiled, air-conditioned library in town; I get things done in there.

That book is another one of those theoretic masterpieces by Gavin Menzies, the retired British submarine captain who reckons that the Chinese were circumnavigating the whole world before Christopher Columbus was even a gleam in his daddy’s eye. This time, Mr. Menzies is on about the Minoans of what is now Crete and the mysterious disappearance of Atlantis.

The trouble with real books is that they are awkward to pack around and so, after a pleasant 20 minutes or so reading one, I found the need to look up a word. I went in search of a dictionary: there are several in our house; I couldn’t find one of them, not even the whacking great beast that can give a grown man a hernia.

Anyway, after wasting an immense

amount of reading time, I headed for the computer and searched on Google. The word I needed was hubris: why Gavin threw that one at his readership, I have no idea – showing off, probably. I’ve already forgotten what it means.

Another word that caused me no end of trouble was ‘inchoate’. Now, I have had a fairly good, albeit lengthy, education and I did think that it did have something to do with ‘early form’ or ‘rudimentary stage’ but that wasn’t what made me drop the loaned book and go looking for the newspaper.

I’d been having fairly Peter good success with the SunWarland day Times crossword puzzle in the weekend Vancouver Sun but had been brought to a halt in the top right-hand corner. I’d been stuck; but I now knew what was missing: inchoate.

Of course, I couldn’t find the newspaper. Had I put it downstairs with the other old papers? Had I ripped it up in a fit of pique? I spent a lot a time looking for the paper and, when I did find it at last and scrabbled through the wrinkled pages and discovered the crossword, I couldn’t find the spot where ‘inchoate’ should fit. How much time I spent on that fruitless chore I have no idea but Mr. Menzies’ book was forgotten for days.

I did however recall that the Greek Plato wrote about the destruction of Atlantis. He

claimed that he didn’t make up the story; he was merely reiterating old Greek legends. Anyway, I had to show off to the guys when they came around last week. I told them all I knew of Gavin Menzies’ theories about the Minoans crossing the Atlantic and mining copper near Lake Superior but, like me, the guys had their doubts.

“Bet they had fun sailing up Niagara Falls,” commented Fred, then added, “or how did they find their way through the Mississippi delta?” He helped himself to some peanuts and maundered on. “Wonder if they founded New Orleans.”

“Nah!” argued Bill. He’s not the brightest light on the Christmas tree. He said, “They couldn’t’ve founded it if it wasn’t there yet.”

It was about that time that I decided to give up on Gavin Menzies for a while. I’d grunted in agreement with him when I read his theories about the Chinese sailing all over hell’s half acre. I’d even accepted his suggestion that the Chinese got to Venice and gave a boost to the Renaissance, but his statements that the Minoans not only crossed the Atlantic thousands of years ago but stole all the copper ore from Lake Superior were too much of a stretch. I decided that I was going to give up on him.

There was to be a film about the Minoans on Knowledge the very next week; I think I’ll skip real books for the nonce.

Opinion/Events

Leaders’ spin contest ends in tie

T

he Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is the political event of the year for B.C. party leaders, especially heading into a provincial election.

Up first was NDP leader Adrian Dix, who drew a large crowd of local politicians last week for the traditional earlymorning spot that follows a long evening of receptions.

In contrast to his debut last year, a typical litany of political attacks on the B.C. Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road. And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after her contentfree speech to the 2010 UBCM convention, Dix set out policies.

He told delegates an NDP government would restore local authority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “mayor’s council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections).

Dix would also let communities decide if they want public-private partnerships for large construction projects.

(Federal Heritage Minister James Moore later noted that if communities or provinces wish to decline federal funds due to this ideology, they are free to do so.)

Then Dix accused the B.C. Liberals of cutting forest inventory spending by 77 per cent over the last decade, meaning decisions like rebuilding the Burns Lake

mill are being made “in the dark” for the first time in a century.

That’s a damning charge, so I checked it against forest ministry budget records.

As with all government programs, accounting changes can give a misleading appearance of large cuts or increases from year to year. And indeed forest inventory spending has bounced around during the B.C. Liberal term.

The budget for forest inventory staffing and operation was about $8 million in 2001-02, rising as high as BC Views $15 million and falling to a low of $5.1 million in recesTom sion-hit 2009-10. The estiFletcher mate for the current fiscal year is $9.7 million, an increase to try to catch up with the pine beetle disaster.

Crown forest inventory has indeed fallen behind due to rapid shifts caused by unprecedented insect and fire damage. But has spending been slashed as Dix claims? No. It has increased.

Next up was Premier Christy Clark, in full campaign mode. In the Gordon Campbell tradition, she brought the goodies out in her speech to close the convention. More than $200 million has been scraped together to “accelerate” capital projects at schools, hospitals and other facilities across the province.

These projects were already on the books, but they’ve been moved up for

obvious political purposes. Or at least the announcements will be moved up.

Four-laning of the last narrow stretches of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops will continue over 10 years.

This is a federal-provincial project that will eventually be finished regardless of who is governing in Victoria or Ottawa. It includes some of the most staggeringly expensive road building in Canada, in the Kicking Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges.

Clark also announced a long-range plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge, because the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99, but also for large ships going up-river. This is another project that will proceed eventually, and there is no specific financial commitment yet.

I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters. As always, I’m pleased to hear from people with specific corrections.

For now, call it a tie. Neither speech represents a proud moment for our provincial leadership.

The swan song of Hugo Chavez

It

is imaginable — not certain, but cer- him. It would not be hard to be more effitainly possible — that Hugo Chavez, cient than Chavez’s ramshackle adminisVenezuela’s strongman ruler since tration.

Moreover, though Chavez’s rule has 1998, will lose the presidential election on 7 October. The most recent opinion polls benefited the poor in many ways, they are showed that his challenger, Henrique still poor. Venezuela’s economy has grown Capriles, has closed the gap between them far more slowly than those of its big neighto only 5 per cent or less of the popular vote. bours, Brazil and Colombia, even though If Chavez loses, would he actually hand over it has enjoyed the advantages of big oil exports and a tenfold rise power peacefully? in the world oil price.

He says he would, of Indeed, almost all the course — but he also says growth in Venezuela’s that it’s an irrelevant queseconomy since Chavez tion, since he will surely took power is due to higher win. “It is written,” he tells Gwynne oil prices; most other parts his supporters reassuringDyer of the economy have ly. But it is not. Chavez reshrunk. And while the oil ally could lose this time, for 30 different opposition parties, ranging revenues have been big enough —$980 from the centre-left to the far right, have billion during Chavez’s presidency — to finally got together and chosen a single sustain the subsidies at their current level, candidate for the presidency. Moreover, they will never be enough to transform the Capriles is no Mitt Romney: he knows that entire economy.

You can work it out on the back of an the votes of the poor matter.

In previous elections, the Venezuelan envelope. There are almost 30 million opposition railed against Chavez’s “social- Venezuelans. Even if all of that $980 billion ism” and Marxism, and lost. Capriles, by had been shared out among them during contrast, promises to retain most of Chavez’s 12 years in power, they would Chavez’s social welfare policies, which only have got about $3,000 per person per have poured almost $300 billion over the year. Since the oil revenue also had to pay last dozen years into programmes to im- for everything from defence to road conprove literacy, extend high school educa- struction, the real number was more like tion, improve health care, build housing $1,000 per person per year.

That’s nice to have, but it’s not going to for the homeless, and subsidise household transform lives. In fact, many people now purchases from groceries to appliances.

Capriles can make those promises be- feel that they are sliding backward again, cause, like Chavez, he can pay for them for inflation has been about 1,000 per cent out of the country’s huge oil revenues. He since 1998, ten times worse than in VeneHAS to make them, because poorer Vene- zuela’s neighbours. And the shelves in the zuelans — and most Venezuelans are poor government-subsidised food shops are —won’t vote for a candidate who would bare most of the time.

It’s like the old Soviet Union: when a end all that. But Capriles says he will spend that money more effectively, with shipment of some basic commodity finally less corruption, and a lot of people believe arrives, it is all snapped up instantly, and

then there is nothing until the next delivery. Nationalisation and central planning didn’t do the old Communist states of Europe any good, and they haven’t worked in Venezuela either. Something radical must be done to get the real, non-oil economy growing at a decent rate.

So even Chavez loyalists can be tempted by a politician who promises to keep the subsidies, but to scrap the antique Marxist dogmatism that cripples the economy. Henrique Capriles is exactly that politician, and therefore he really might win the election. What then?

What would probably happen is a grudging but peaceful hand-over of power to the newly elected President Capriles.

Chavez has not been reluctant to exploit the government’s near-monopoly of the broadcast media and his rhetoric is often vicious — he has called Capriles a “pig” and a “fascist” — but unlike the former Communist states of Europe, he has always held real elections that he could actually lose.

If he loses this one, he still knows that the welfare state he began to build will survive his departure: it is now part of the country’s political furniture. He will be conscious that his health might not be good enough to sustain him through a long post-election crisis. And for all his bluff and bluster about defending the “Bolivarian revolution”, he may actually respect a democratic vote that goes against him.

Whether his colleagues and cronies would feel the same way is another question, but they could hardly reject an outcome that Chavez himself accepted. This thing could still end well.

Roster set as Ice make final releases TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice prospects can breathe a sigh of relief.

The roster has been set.

The Kootenay Ice made their final releases on Monday, jettisoning defenceman Kyle Krabben to a team yet to be determined, while Czech import Petr Vesely will head back to Europe.

The roster is now complete, with three 20-year-olds, three 19-year-olds, six 18-yearolds, eight 17-year-olds and two 16-year-olds.

The club has 12 forwards, eight defencemen and two goaltenders, which include 15 returning veterans, six new rookies and one import.

“It’s been competitive with a competitive training camp and continued right into the exhibition season and the regular season and there were a lot of tough decisions,” said Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth. “You want that, you don’t want easy decisions and now we’re down to the 22 that we’re going to carry, barring any trades, injuries or suspensions, but we’re excited to see how this group grows.”

Newcomers include goaltender Wyatt Hoflin,

defencemen Matthew Thomas and Tanner Faith, while Collin Shirley, Kyle O’Connor and Luke Philp complement the forward ranks along with import Jakub Prochazka.

Philp was a late cut from the team last year, but got in 17 games to cover injuries, while Thomas, an undrafted and unlisted player who came to camp on invite, cracked the roster.

Vesely, who was selected 29th overall in the CHL Import Draft last June, was released and will return to the Czech Republic.

Chynoweth relies on word-of-mouth from scouts when making selections in the import draft and said Vesely didn’t quite fit into the WHL level of play. “[When] you participate in the CHL Import Draft, you’re relying on other people, you haven’t seen the player yourself play—that’s the chance you take and unfortunately, Petr just wasn’t the player we expected to get,” Chynoweth said.

Prochazka, who Chynoweth selected 59th overall after trading for Tri-City’s first-round import pick, made the cut and will add some European flavour to the roster.

Australian Open prize money increases by A$4 million to a record A$30 million for 2013 MELBOURNE, Australia - Australian Open organizers have increased prize money to a record Australian dollars 30 million for the first tennis major of 2013 in response to player concerns about compensation at Grand Slam tournaments.

Tournament director Craig Tiley said the A$4 million increase, announced Tuesday, was the largest from one year to the next in the tournament’s history.

The move followed reports that some players were considering bypassing the tournament if prize money was not increased, particularly for losers in the early rounds.

“We’re proud of the fact we’ve gone to record prize money,” he said. “We are supporting the lower-ranked players in their quest for compensation.”

Tennis Australia chief executive Steve Wood said the prize money boost would make the January tournament the richest in tennis history.

“We are proud to announce this major increase in prize money,” Wood said. “We have led the world in prize money for these incredible athletes and we want to ensure that the Australian Open continues to make a major contribution to the financial wellbeing of professional tennis players.”

AVALANCE VOLLEYBALL

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Members of Augustana Vikings attempt to block a hit from the College of the Rockies Avalanche during a game at the Rumble in the Rockies tournament over the weekend at the Cranbrook campus.

Preseason action a boon for Avalanche

Both volleyball teams gain valuable experience against tough opponents in home tournament TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Rumble in the Rockies volleyball tournament concluded with a whimper for some and a bang for others.

The College of the Rockies women’s avalanche team had a successful weekend, winning three of four scheduled matches, while the men’s team were blanked by two CIS teams and dropped two decisions against Red Deer College.

The women downed Augustana in straight sets on Thursday, and powered to a 3-1 win over Lethbridge College Friday morning. The ladies engineered a come-from-behind rally in a tiebreak set to edge King’s UniversityCollege out of Edmonton, but fell 3-0 in a rematch on the final day of the tournament.

The ladies team is building on their exhibition experience, as they returned from a preseason tournament in Red Deer two weekends ago, where they earned a win and four losses.

It was the first exhibition for the men,

against a few CIS-level teams to boot, but head coach Steve Kamps said he isn’t too concerned with the scores because he’s still evaluating players and team strengths and weaknesses.

Agata Benkowska, who coaches the women’s team, said her squad has grown leaps and bounds from last year and looked sharper than their outing to Red Deer two weeks prior.

“After Red Deer, we worked on passing, serving, communication and teamwork— stuff like that is what we worked on all last week before this tournament,” said Benkowska.

That work translated into an emphatic win over Augustana in the opening match of the event on Thursday night.

“We passed well, we served really tough, hitters hit well, everybody was playing unbelievably,” Bendkowska added.

Bendkowska hopes the three consecutive wins adds some confidence to her team as they begin to shift into regular-season play in

three weeks.

“I’m very happy, I’m satisfied with how they played,” Bendkowska said. “I believe the players are happy, they have motivation right now, they know what it’s like to win, because we haven’t won a lot of games in past years.”

Kamps took a stoic approach regarding the men’s performance, noting that the tournament was their first exhibition action that featured two games against CIS-level teams.

The University of Calgary Dinos even featured two former Avs in Jeremias Guenter and Brendan Visser, who wore the red and black instead of the blue and white.

Red Deer College is traditionally one of the top five teams in the country as well, which was just another way for the Avs to gauge how they stack up.

“It was a good measuring stick to see where we are at,” said Kamps.

“I think we learned a lot from our guys and learned how to play together as a team and got everybody in so it was a very worthwhile experi-

ence.”

Kamps was impressed with the showing against the University of Calgary Dinos despite the 3-0 loss, because the first two sets were out of reach by only a few points.

“The first two, we had chances to actually take some sets off them and that was four of their starters for CIS, so our guys were jacked to play and prepared to

play and came out and gave everything they had,” said Kamps.

“We were digging absolutely everything and our blocking looked very good as well.”

Serving is one area the team needs to improve on, as Kamps noted that the consistency was atrocious, while adding that the team needs to play with the right emotions on the court.

Indy Colts coach diagnosed with leukemia NHL labour talks to Michael Marot Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS Colts coach Chuck Pagano has been diagnosed with leukemia and is expected to be hospitalized six to eight weeks as he undergoes treatment.

He will be replaced on an interim basis by offensive co-ordinator Bruce Arians.

Team owner Jim Irsay made the announcement Monday during a sombre and sometimes emotional news conference at the team com-

plex.

“I think it’s unlikely he’ll be all in as the head coach the rest of this season,” Irsay said. “He may be able to come back and be in the press box or something.”

The 51-year-old Pagano is in his first season with the Colts (1-2). He was hired in January after serving as the Baltimore Ravens’ defensive co-ordinator.

Dr. Larry Cripe, the physician treating the coach at Indiana University’s Simon Cancer Center, said Pagano has

acute myeloid leukemia, where the bone marrow is producing abnormal white blood cells that interfere with healthy blood cells. Symptoms can include weakness, weight loss and easy bruising or bleeding.

Treatments can include chemotherapy, drugs and radiation therapy.

Irsay said Pagano’s wife pushed him to see the doctor after noticing unusual bruising on the coach’s body.

The initial phase of treatment usually requires a hospital stay of

four to five weeks, though Irsay later acknowledged he expected Pagano to be in the hospital at least six weeks.

Cripe said Pagano began the “arduous” treatment last week and that many adults do recover from the disease.

For now, Pagano is being kept in a “protected” hospital environment where air is filtered and hand-washing is essential.

Pagano was admitted last Wednesday evening; the team had a bye this

weekend and players and the assistants, other than Arians, were not told Pagano was ill until Monday morning.

“This is not an easy day for any of us,” Arians said. “It was not the way I ever dreamed about addressing a group like this. But I know he’ll get through it.”

General manager Ryan Grigson said he was not yet certain how the rest of the coaching duties would be split up, though he expected all of the assistants to pitch in.

Romo struggles as Bears defence mauls Cowboys Stephen Hawkins Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas Those 30-something defenders for the Chicago Bears showed Tony Romo how much they can still play.

Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman, two of the five defensive starters for Chicago in their 30s, returned interceptions for touchdowns, and the Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys 34-18 on Monday night.

Though Romo was only sacked once, on the Cowboys’ opening series, he was pressured

relentlessly and threw five interceptions. That matched his career high, set five years ago in his first full season as a starter.

Briggs’ interception came in a wild two-play exchange of turnovers midway through the third quarter.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was nearly flawless after halftime, when he completed 11 of 12 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns. That included a 34-yard score to Devin Hester to start the half and a 31-yarder to Brandon Marshall

with 6 1/2 minutes left.

Cutler was 18 of 24 overall for 275 yards.

Major Wright, who returned an interception for a touchdown in Chicago’s last game, had two of the five interceptions.

D.J. Moore has nine career interceptions, three of them against Romo after getting another one Monday night.

Chicago’s first fumble of the season came when Cutler was sacked

by DeMarcus Ware and Victor Butler recovered at the Bears 27.

On the very next play, Romo was trying to es-

cape pressure when he was hit from behind by Henry Melton. The ball popped forward into the air and Briggs grabbed it and rumbled for his first interception return for a score since 2005 to put the Bears (3-1) ahead 24-7.

Once again, the Cowboys (2-2) are a .500 team. They are also one of the lowest-scoring team in the NFL with only 65 points.

Since the start of the 1997 season, Dallas is 122-122 in regular-season games. They have won only one playoff

game in that span after three Super Bowl titles in a four-year span in the first half of the 1990s.

Romo finished 31 of 43 for 307 yards and a touchdown. When the Cowboys got the ball back in the final 3 minutes, Kyle Orton got his first action since the veteran quarterback signed a free agent deal during the off-season to be Romo’s backup.

Orton threw a 5-yard TD pass to Jason Witten with 34 seconds left, capping a 10-play, 89yard drive.

resume and focus on secondary issues John Wawrow Associated Press

NHL labour talks are set to resume Tuesday morning, with discussions focusing on hockey-related revenue and not the core economic issues that continue to divide the two sides in a league-imposed lockout entering its third week.

A person familiar with negotiations, on Monday, provided the details of what was expected to be discussed at the meeting that will be held in New York.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association have not issued an update on talks.

The person added there are currently no other meetings planned beyond Tuesday.

Negotiators for the league and players will pick up where they left off after Sunday, when they completed three straight days of discussions. The talks focused on secondary issues, such as what should define hockey-related revenue, as well as player health and safety.

Though both sides have made progress in discussing secondary issues, they’ve failed to make much of a dent into determining how to split up more than US$3 billion in league revenues between owners and players.

The NHL locked out the players after the collective bargaining

agreement expired on Sept. 15, and has since cancelled its entire preseason schedule. The next step is expected to come this week, when the NHL is anticipated to announce the postponement of the start of the regular season, which was scheduled to open on Oct. 11.

The NHL dispute is now attracting the attention of two New Jersey senators, who are urging both sides to settle.

Senators Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez sent a letter Monday to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Don Fehr urging them to consider the economic impact on their state if the dispute is not resolved.

The Democrats wrote that Congress has jurisdiction over interstate commerce, which includes professional sports, and will be keeping a “close eye” on negotiations.

The letter warned that the absence of New Jersey Devils’ games in Newark could mean millions of dollars in lost economic activity and jobs in especially tough economic times.

The Devils advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals last season, creating a financial boost to the city just five months ago.

The lockout comes on the heels of the NBA’s Nets moving from Newark to Brooklyn, N.Y.

TORONTO - Yan Gomes tied the game with a two-out homer in the ninth inning and Anthony Gose won it with a two-out single in the 10th as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-5.

Adeiny Hechavarria singled with one out in the 10th against left-hander Brian Duensing (4-12) on Monday.

Hechavarria took second on a wild pitch with pinch-hitter J.P. Arencibia at the plate. Arencibia struck out on a ball that got away from catcher Drew Butera.

The catcher’s throw hit Arencibia, who was running to first, but it was ruled that he was not running in the proper lane and Arencibia was called out for interference. That prompted an argument by manager John Farrell and his ejection.

But Gose came through with the winning single up the middle on the next at-bat while Adam Lind had four hits and two runs batted in for the Blue Jays.

Trevor Plouffe drove in three runs for the Twins with a homer and a double.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Conversation revitalizes you and encourages a different perspective.

A partner might be too intimidated to be as proactive as you are. A discussion with someone close results in support and nurturing. Curb a tendency to push your limits in a money matter ... you will get your share. Tonight: Roll with the moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You gain new perspectives quickly and see a situation in a different vein, as a result. You demonstrate unusual flexibility. You have a way about you that appeals to associates, friends and family members -- as long as you are just yourself.

Be willing to manifest greater security and ease for yourself and others. Tonight: Go for what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be more visual in your thinking.

A conversation with a respected friend helps you grasp more possibilities. Your creativity might not be so strong if you try to force yourself through a problem. Verbalize more of what you are thinking in order

to get feedback. Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to a partner’s or loved one’s suggestion. This person tends to put an interesting spin on situations, which helps you identify with others and better understand what is happening. His or her delightful words encourage your mind to wander. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

LEO (July 23- Aug. 22) Others look to you to take the lead.

You naturally enjoy yourself with even the most intense or negative people in your life. It appears that your mood is contagious. A conversation, though serious, has much compassion behind it. A partner or loved one has a vision that affects you. Tonight: A must appearance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out for new information and different ways of seeing a situation.

If you can come up with several different approaches, it could turn out far better than you’d originally thought possible. Use your unusual appeal later today. Tonight: Be willing to dream.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

This is a building that has great potential with improved electrical, plumbing and a new roof in 2011.

400 amp three phase with hoist and air compressor lines throughout the building.

Far-Reaching Delivery!

Deal with a change in a partner directly. This person has become unusually verbose or relaxed. This could be a good sign; however, it demands that you make an adjustment. Weigh the pros and cons, if you would like. Ultimately, you’ll know which way to go. Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others might be unusually difficult and touchy, but your persistence wins the day. Try not to challenge someone or get into a power play.

Ultimately, it will not be worth it.

Test out an idea on those who could be affected. Tonight: All smiles.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stay level. Understand what has to be accomplished. You might find it difficult to home in on what is happening, as you are deep in thought.

Be careful when using mechanical objects and driving cars. An authority figure admires the way you handle yourself. Tonight: Stop what you’re doing and take a break.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity and determination prove to be unfamiliar benefits.

Be willing to walk away from your comfort zone and look past restric-

tions. A more neutral environment with fewer judgments will enhance your relationships on all fronts. Tonight: Don’t forget to call a loved one at a distance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you have a hankering to stay home, do. If you work, consider working from home if possible. In the long run, it might be a good idea to consider having a homebased business. Express your caring to a loved one -- it always is nice to get a hug. Tonight: The homewardbound theme continues.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You tend to find the right words at the right time; meanwhile, others seem to be grasping when it comes to their own self-expression. Touch base with a neighbor or relative.

This tie easily can be neglected, but ultimately it is instrumental to your life. Tonight: Find a pal to hang with.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am an 88-year-old father with three grown daughters. I have a substantial amount listed in my will, which originally was to be equally divided.

A year ago, my youngest daughter and I had a falling out. I said something that irritated her, and she said I am not allowed to bring up that subject again. I replied, “Don’t tell me what I can talk about. If you don’t like what I say, don’t call,” and I hung up. She took that literally, and even though I made numerous attempts to reinstate myself into her life, I was rebuffed.

I recently had major surgery. My daughter neither called nor visited. But her husband sent several emails blaming me for the estrangement, saying I should have apologized and what he really thought of me.

Frankly, if my daughter had simply acted like nothing happened, it would have been over. Considering how I’ve always helped her financially, you’d think she would have cut me some slack.

When my daughter made no attempt to end this hostility after six months, I had my attorney remove her as an heir to my estate.

I have since learned that my son-in-law is quite upset about this. I think he’s been very instrumental in influencing my daughter’s behavior. I also believe the only reason he was ever pleasant to me was to ensure my daughter’s inheritance.

Wills can always be changed, and if my daughter behaves better, I’m happy to reinstate her. But right now, I’m still angry and hurt by her intolerable treatment. Even if this gets resolved, I doubt I will ever feel the same toward either of them, and time is running out. -- S.W. in California Dear S.W.: Somehow, this altercation has developed into an argument about money.

We agree that your daughter and her husband are behaving terribly. However, your age doesn’t absolve you of everything. A good first step toward reconciliation is to apologize for hanging up on her instead of thinking she should treat it as if “nothing happened.” We hope she will accept this and allow the relationship to mend. We suggest asking one of her sisters to act as an intermediary. If she refuses to budge, however, there is nothing more you can do.

Dear Annie: My entire family attended my cousin’s wedding in another state. One of my children flew in with his wife and two kids, and the others drove a long distance to attend. The wedding was quite elegant, and we had a nice time. We each sent lovely gifts that we spent a great deal of time selecting.

After two months, we each received a generic preprinted thank-you note that didn’t mention the gifts specifically or say anything about using them. The notes weren’t even signed.

What do you think of this “new” way of writing thank-you notes? I am so disappointed in my cousin. I hope the bridal couple sees this. -- Disheartened Michigander Dear Michigander: We hope the preprinted note was not the actual thank-you note, but just a placeholder letting you know the gift arrived and they will thank you properly later.

Dear Annie: After reading numerous stories of married couples saying the passion has left their marriages, I had to put in my two cents’ worth.

My husband and I have been married for 28 years. I, too, felt that we were in a rut. A couple of months ago, I texted a topless photo of myself to my husband while he was at work. That night, we had the most “fun” we’ve had in years. Now I keep the pictures coming on a random basis, gradually increasing the raciness. This one little step has been a lifesaver for our marriage. -- Somewhere in Virginia Dear Virginia: As long as no one else uses that phone and those photos don’t go viral, we’re all in favor of using whatever spice helps.

Remains of missing Canadian man found C ANADIAN PRESS

ELKO, Nev. — The remains of a missing Canadian man whose wife survived for seven weeks in the Nevada wilderness after the couple got lost have been found a year and a half after he disappeared.

Albert Chretien’s whereabouts have been a mystery since the couple’s van got stuck in the mud in March 2011.

Det. Dennis Journigan of the Elko County Sheriff’s Office said Chretien’s remains were discovered Saturday by two elk hunters in a secluded area of Merritt Mountain, about 11 kilometres west from where he set off.

Journigan said the remains were intact and hadn’t been scattered by animals. Chretien was identified by items found in his pockets, including business cards and an address book, police said.

Rita Chretien stayed with the couple’s van and was found on the verge of starvation 49 days after her husband went for help. She sur-

THE CANADIAN PRESS/RCMP-HO

Penticton businessman Albert Chretien and wife Rita are shown in an undated RCMP handout photo. The remains of a misssing Canadian whose wife survived for seven weeks in the Nevada wilderness after the couple got lost have been found. Albert Chretien went for help a year and a half ago when their van got stuck in the mud. vived on trail mix, hard candy and melted snow, and has said her Christian faith kept her going.

The couple got lost when they decided to take a shortcut to a Las Vegas trade show from their home in Penticton, B.C.

Det. Jim Carpenter said the hunters in their 40s found a backpack that Chretien carried when he left the van. It contained a spiral notebook and sunflower seeds.

The hunters then went up the mountain

and found his body, Carpenter said.

“They know of the story, of what took place and they were in the general area,’’ he said Monday.

“They put two and two together and called us and said, ‘Hey, we

think we found your missing Canadian guy.’’’

The hunters led police to the wooded area, about a four-hour drive from the sheriff’s office, early Sunday morning, Carpenter said.

MP apologizes over Layton gaff C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A maverick Conservative MP has apologized for suggesting that NDP Leader Tom Mulcair helped to hasten the death of predecessor Jack Layton.

Calgary MP Rob Anders told the political news website iPolitics that Mulcair essentially goaded his predecessor into risking his health during the 2011 election campaign.

Anders says Mulcair argued before the campaign that Layton should step aside because of his health.

He says this “armtwisting’’ compelled Layton to “put his life at risk’’ in a hard-fought election campaign, when otherwise he might have been more heedful of his health.

Anders issued a statement apologizing to both Mulcair and Layton’s family, and describing the remarks as “insensitive and inconsiderate.’’

The PMO was quick to distance itself from

the remarks, saying they in no way represent the views of Stephen Harper or the government.

“I actually think one of the great stories that was missed by journalists was that Mr. Mulcair, with his arm twisted behind the scenes, helped to hasten Jack Layton’s death,’’ Anders is quoted by iPolitics as saying.

“It was very clear to me watching the two of those gentlemen in the front benches, that Jack Layton was ill and that Mr. Mulcair was making it quite obvious that if Jack wasn’t well enough to fight the campaign and fight the election that he should step aside, and that because of that, Mr. Layton put his life at risk to go into the national election, and fight it, and did obviously an amazing job considering his state of health, and that he did that partly because of the arm-twisting behind the scenes by Mulcair and then subsequently died.’’

who lives here knows the whole story.’’

Rita Chretien was relieved to hear her husband’s body had been found after so long, Car-

penter said.

“She’s obviously upset but she’s also relieved that we recovered Albert’s remains,’’ he said.

“This wasn’t anything that we gave up on. We were continuing searches up in that area and always trying to cover more ground and the thing that people don’t know is this ground is steep, rocky, (with) trees. There’s roads there but they’re really tough.’’

In the last 18 months, a search and rescue crew from Carpenter’s department has made countless trips to the area in hopes of finding Chretien’s body, and the last search happened two weeks ago, he said.

“From where their vehicle was, it’s miles and miles and miles of ground to cover up there. When you have 15 to 20 people up there at a time on a search, you can only cover so much ground.’’

Man charged with counselling suicide C ANADIAN PRESS

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — A 53-year-old B.C. man has been charged with counselling a depressed woman to commit suicide, and police say he may have done it before.

The latest incident came to light when family members brought a woman in her 40s to see police in Abbotsford.

Police say the woman, who was known to suffer

from depression, had apparent strangulation marks on her neck.

The probe led police to recommend a charge of counselling to commit suicide against Kenneth William Carr.

Investigators say Carr may have been involved in other, similar incidents, and they want to hear from anyone else who may have been counselled to kill themselves.

Chinese firm pleads guilty to worker death C ANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Aaron Vincent Elkaim

Opposition Leader Tom Mulcair speaks at the Canadian Club of Toronto luncheon about building a balanced 21st century economy in Toronto on Friday, September 28, 2012.

Anders was first elected in 1997 and has been re-elected five times, winning with huge margins each time.

He has also been a

source of controversy.

He opposed honorary Canadian citizenship for Nelson Mandela, labelling him a community and a terrorist.

He is vitriolic in his dislike of China. He once compared the 2008 Beijing Olympics to the 1936 Berlin Games.

ST. ALBERT, Alta. — A Chinese engineering firm has pleaded guilty to three workplace safety charges related to a fatal accident in the oilsands five years ago.

Two workers were killed and another four injured when the roof on a large tank collapsed at Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.’s Horizon project site.

Twenty-one other charges against Chinese

contractors on the Horizon project were withdrawn.

Another 29 charges against the Calgarybased company have been stayed, meaning the government has a year to revive them.

Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Canada is to be sentenced on Jan. 24.

The pleas, which were entered Sept. 5, came to light this morning when a trial was to have begun.

Ikea regrets deletion of women from Saudi catalogue Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Ikea is being criticized for deleting images of women from the Saudi version of its furniture catalogue, a move the company says it regrets.

Comparing the Swedish and Saudi versions of the catalogue, free newspaper Metro on Monday showed that women had been airbrushed out of otherwise identical pictures showcasing the company’s home furnishings.

The report raised questions in Sweden about Ikea’s commitment to gender equality, and the company released a statement expressing “regret’’ over the issue.

“We should have reacted and realized that excluding women from the Saudi Ara-

bian version of the catalogue is in conflict with the IKEA Group values,’’ the company said.

Women appear only infrequently in Saudi-run advertising, mostly on Saudiowned TV channels that show women in long dresses, scarves covering their hair and long sleeves. In imported magazines, censors black out many parts of a woman’s body including arms, legs and chest.

When Starbucks opened its coffee shops in the conservative, Muslim kingdom, it removed the alluring, longhaired woman from its logo, keeping only her crown.

Ikea’s Saudi catalogue, which is also available online, looks the same as other editions of the publication, except for the absence of

women.

One picture shows a family apparently getting ready for bed, with a young boy brushing his teeth in the bathroom. However, a pajama-clad woman standing next to the boy is missing from the Saudi version.

Another picture of a five women dining has been removed altogether in the Saudi edition.

Swedish equality minister Nyamko Sabuni noted that Ikea is a private company that makes its own decisions, but added that it also projects an image of Sweden around the world.

“For Ikea to remove an important part of Sweden’s image and an important part of its values in a country that more than any other needs to know about about Ikea’s

Ikea Group, one of the many branches in the com-

pany’s complicated corporate structure, said it had produced the catalogue for a Saudi franchisee outside the group.

Eight dead, 100 rescued after Hong Kong boat collides with ferry during festivities Kelvin Chan Associated Press

HONG KONG — A boat packed with revelers during a holiday weekend collided with a ferry and sank Monday night off Hong Kong, killing at least eight people and injuring dozens more, authorities said.

The boat was carrying about 120 people when the accident happened near Lamma Island, off the southwestern coast of Hong Kong Island, a government statement said.

The vessel was carrying staff members of a utility company and their family members to Hong Kong’s famed Victoria Harbour to watch a fireworks display on a long holiday weekend to celebrate China’s National Day and mid-autumn festival.

The government said 101 people were rescued and the Hospital Authority said 53 people, including the eight dead, were taken to four hospitals.

“There was a boat that came in close and crashed,’’ said Yuen Sui-see, director of operations at Power Assets Holdings Ltd., which was using the vessel to take staff on the outing. “After the crash, the other boat continued away, it didn’t stop.’’ He denied the vessel was overloaded, saying it was carrying 121 passengers and three crew but had capacity for more than 200 passengers.

Television channels showed the boat half submerged with the bow

pointing straight up. Helicopters circled overhead with searchlights as government vessels surrounded the boat and divers prepared to enter the water.

Broadcaster RTHK said 23 people were still missing.

Local news reports said the chartered boat was hit by another boat operated by the Hong Kong and Kowloon Ferry company on a regularly scheduled service. RTHK said the captain of the other ship, which was slightly damaged but able to return to port, was afraid to stop in case it sank.

“All of Hong Kong’s emergency forces are focused here,’’ said Hong Kong’s leader, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying.

“Wide-ranging rescue work is being carried out on in the sea, land and in the air.’’ Leung said he didn’t know what caused the collision but promised a thorough investigation.

Survivors said the boat started sinking rapidly after the collision. One woman told local television that she swallowed a lot of water as she swam back to shore. Another man said he didn’t know where his children were.

Neither gave their names.

Lamma is the third-biggest island in Hong Kong and near one of the coastal Chinese city’s busiest shipping lanes. The island is home to about 6,000 people, including many of the former British colony’s expatriate workers.

Canadian student dies mysteriously in England Canadian Press

BRISTOL — British police say the mysterious death of a Canadian student in Bristol is not being treated as suspicious.

The Avon and Somerset Constabularly, based in the English town, today formally identified the victim as 22-year-old Garrett Elsey.

The Edmonton-area man was found dead at a recycling facility in Avonmouth last Thursday.

Police spokesman Wayne Baker says the investigation is continuing with the help of the coroner.

He says a post-mortem has already been conducted.

But he says police have yet to determine how Elsey’s body ended up in the facility, adding that will be part of the investigation.

“We have provisional findings but further investigations are taking place in conjunction with the coroner,’’ Baker said.

“These are likely to take some time. But we can confirm that the death is not being treated as suspicious.’’

The family has requested privacy during the investigation. A family member earlier said that Elsey went to Bristol to study for a master’s degree in international security.

100 starlings fly into car on Austrian highway Associated Press

AP Photo/Vincent Yu

A young survivor is comforted by a rescuer after a collision involving two vessels in Hong Kong Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012.

VIENNA, Austria — A mass collision between a flock of starlings and a car on a stretch of Austrian expressway has left up to 100 of the birds dead and the driver shaken but unhurt.

The Austria Press Agency says the birds suddenly flew from power lines above the multi-lane highway in western Austria downward and directly into the path of the car.

The report did not say how fast the car was travelling Monday, but the speed limit on Austria’s autobahns is usually 130 kph — close to 80 mph.

The car sustained numerous dents. Cleanup crews quickly removed the dead birds.
