Findlay Creek Rescue

Missing men’s truck located C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The search for two men missing in the Findlay Creek area since Saturday, June 8 has taken a new turn. RCMP and Search and Rescue have located the truck in the fast-moving creek, but conditions are such that they cannot get to it.

“They are still missing but we were able to positively locate the truck,” said Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley Detachment. “It’s in a really dangerous spot and the current is just too swift and too

strong.

“We can’t get down to it and at this time, won’t be able to get it out. We can’t ascertain if the two men are in it or not.”

Search and Rescue and police remain on the scene, Newel said, and are doing their best to come up with some options for the families.

“There are a lot of theories as to whether they are in the truck or not,” he said. “They may not be.”

The velocity of the river is not likely to decrease any time soon

A dogs life is one of inner turmoil.

Do I follow my head or my heart, my instincts or my — and here I use the term loosely — master’s command.

Torn by indecision we dogs face one difficult choice after another. It was with this conflict in my heart and my human’s voice booming, “Boulder Come!” in my ears, that I bolted away down the trail, my nose full of bear scent.

I admit that I find it frustrating when I am unable to restrain myself from following my baser instincts.

Though I possess superior cognitive abilities, and am aware that to obey my humans instructions is not only wise but makes for a stronger bond between us, sometimes I can’t help but follow my inner wolf.

This inability to shut off those traits which are hardwired into our canine brains is nicely illustrated in the animated movie “Up.” In it we are introduced to a dog named Dug, who has been outfitted with a device that allows him to communicate verbally with humans. Unfortunately, Dug’s conversations are disjointed — to say the least — due to his inability to focus. Every time he gets half way though a sentence he blurts out “Squirrel!” You see, even though gifted with language, poor Dug is still a dog, and we dogs are unable to ignore squirrels. It is a sort of canine contractual obligation, if you will: a contract written in DNA. Don’t get me wrong; I do not lament the abilities that have been gifted to me. On the contrary, I celebrate the gene structure that makes me who I am.

For example, I was born a retriever. To find things and carry them back to human-types is what I do and I do it very well. Although, on occasion I must admit I sometimes enjoy a little game of keep-away to see if I can make my human fetch it from me. Turn-about, after all, is fair play.

On this occasion however, I could tell by my human’s tone that he was not in a playful mood.

Perhaps that is why I was able to break off from the scent and return to him as he was so urgently instructing. Once at his heel, I could tell by his jumpy mannerisms (and the fact he had taken the safety off his bear spray) that my dash had alerted him to the possibility of there being a bear in the area.

If I would have had one of those fancy gizmos of Dug’s, I could have told him that I had indeed…

“Bear!” And I was, regrettably, off again at full speed.

I had just made it out of the sight of my dude, when I encountered three full-sized — no make that super-sized — bears. A sow and her now three-yearold cubs, which trust me, didn’t look much like cubs anymore. The sow clacked her teeth and woofed at me. I whimpered at her and departed post haste.

Now it occurred to me that even though I was a retriever, the bears were not something my man would appreciate me bringing back to him. Lacking that damn Dug gizmo I had to find some other way to communicate to him the possibility of Ursine company, so as soon as he could see me, I urgently began looking over my shoulder like there might be something chasing me. Luckily there wasn’t.

My dude seemed to comprehend my warning as he turned off the trail and headed in a different direction.

We did however, see the bears a little later, and when my man commanded me to heel and we headed for home, I did just as he asked. My inner wolf now with its tail tucked firmly between its legs.

Fascinating fungi

MLA Report

For the Bulletin

Other than when we open a jar from the back of the fridge to discover it’s filled will fuzzy greygreen mould, do we give fungi a second thought? Mushrooms, mould, fungi, are totally out of the mainstream and often more than a little gross.

Until you hear, and see, Rob Macrae’s amusing and informative fungi presentations.

Macrae, an environmental technology instructor at Selkirk College, has extensive educational and practical knowledge of fungi.

Over the past 16 years his passion for the subject has developed into two presentations: Fungi: Agents of Change and Origins of Santa Claus.

Rob Macrae, will be presenting “Fungi: Agents of Change” at the Kimberley Public Library

Fungi: Agents of Change, focuses on the long and surprisingly complex relationship between fungi and hu-

mans. Included are a number of examples where fungi shaped some historical event or thwarted some otherwise well-conceived plan.

You will be introduced to Witch’s Butter, Slippery Jacks and many more whimsical growths found in the Kootenays.

Mushrooms and Santa Claus – what’s the connection? The Origins of Santa Claus is a fascinating tale of how fungi are an integral part of our folklore.

What started out as an amusing anecdote in his larger talk, evolved into a stand alone presentation.

A grant from the Kootenay Cultural Alliance, to collaborate with the Kootenay Library Federation, has

resulted in tour of seven communities: Revelstoke, Golden, Valemount, Invermere, Fernie, Kimberley and Creston.

Rob Macrae has a collection of books on mushrooms including several with illustrations by people like Beatrix Potter, dried mushrooms and may bring along fresh specimens weather depending.

He encourages people who attend to bring along any fungi or mushrooms they have recently collected and he will try to identify them.

Join Rob Macrae at his free presentation: Fungi: Agents of Change on June 25th at 7:00 pm at Kimberley Public Library. For more information contact Karin at 250-427-3112.

Police and Search and Rescue find vehicle, unable to reach it due to high water velocity

From Page 1

The two men, Stephen Thomson, 21, of Canal Flats, and Nicholas Hoefnagels, 18, of Carstairs, Alberta, left their campsite at Whitetail Lake around 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 8.

Police were called when they still hadn’t returned by 2:30 a.m.

On Sunday, Search and Rescue and RCMP found a spot on Findlay Creek Forest Service Road where it appeared that a vehicle had left the road down a steep embankment into Findlay Creek. A Search and Rescue team combed the area and found personal items belonging

to the subjects on the bank of the creek. At that time there was no sign of the vehicle.

Findlay Creek Forest Service Road meets Highway 92/95 west of Canal Flats and leads to Whitetail Lake and the Blue Lake Centre.

Cuts to forestry a perilous path NORM MACDONALD MLA Columbia RiverRevelstoke

Forestry is incredibly important to the economy of our area. The BC Liberals may only want to talk about natural gas, but people in my communities know that forestry must not be ignored.

Unlike much of rural British Columbia, this area has maintained a fairly healthy manufacturing base. And the market for our manufactured wood products is strengthening in the United States which is good news for us.

This constituency is fortunate to have Downie Timber, Selkirk Specialty, Stella Jones, LP Golden, Brisco Wood, Skookumchuck Pulp, WoodEx, and Canfor op-

POLL WEEK of the

erations in Radium and Canal Flats. These mills provide hundreds of family supporting jobs and millions of dollars in wages. Their success means a lot for all of us.

While this industry is highly dependent on market forces, the government is still responsible for ensuring that it provides the right environment for success.

Our forests must be managed sustainably.

With 94% of our province owned by the Crown, the provincial government has an obligation to manage it properly.

Without careful stewardship by government, it becomes difficult to assure our international buyers that our wood products are environmentally sustainable.

Forest companies have been clear that they rely on British Columbia’s good reputation in for-

estry to retain their certification.

The provincial government is putting this certification at risk. The government is not replanting trees, nor is it doing proper timber and non-timber inventory.

The government is not fulfilling its obligation to include local communities or First Nations in decision making. And, the BC Liberals intend to cut a further $40 million from the Ministry of Forest. This is a perilous path.

People in my communities understand the true value of forestry for our local economies. We know that forestry can continue to provide prosperity if we make the right decisions. If you are concerned about the cuts that are planned for the Ministry of Forests, take a moment to send an email to FLNR.minister@gov.bc.ca.

Harmony’s Travelling gavel begins new journey MYR A FARQUHAR For the Bulletin

In 2003, Albert Frick donated a travelling gavel to Harmony Chapter #45, Order of the Eastern Star with a carrying case and a request to add all chapters.... name and number and date of visit and then take it to another Chapter. It was the aim of the donor and his Chapter that it would visit all chapters in the Grand Jurisdiction of British Columbia & Yukon. It travelled for a few years and then disappeared in its transit.

Now found, it has begun another journey

throughout the jurisdiction. Worthy Grand Matron, Glenis Allan and Worthy Grand Patron have chosen to try to strengthen the links within our Grand Jurisdiction as one of their aims. One of the ways of accomplishing this is by taking the travelling gavel with them to each chapter and to ask the Worthy Matron of that Chapter to use it during the Official Visit.

The gavel, which is a hand-crafted, three-foot gavel of a combination of Kootenay woods, began its journey on June 1 in the Chapter of its birth, Harmony Chapter #45. The meet-

ing opened with Worthy Grand Matron, Glenis Allan explaining its mission and then requested Harmony’s WM, Myra Farquhar to use it to close the meeting.

The first meeting after their Installation for the Provincial leaders was in Harmony with Worthy Matron, Myra Farquhar and Worthy Patron, Sandy Marshall in the East.

They were welcomed by a rousing “We are #1!” cheer form Harmony’s officers. The local WM and WP were recipient of special gifts from the Provincial leaders. The WGM asked WM Myra to use her gavel during Photo submitted

Cranbrook RCMP investigate double stabbing For the Bulletin

RCMP in Cranbrook are currently investigating a double stabbing which occurred early Sunday morning in the 17th Ave North area of the City.

Just before 4am on Sunday, June 16th, 2013 Cranbrook RCMP responded to a report of a double stabbing in

the area of 17th Avenue and 8th Street North, Cranbrook. The police investigation determined that two males in their 20’s were walking in the area when they were approached by an unknown male suspect who accused them of trying to steal something. The suspect became more belligerent

and attacked both victims. It was only after the suspect left that the two victims realized they were bleeding and had been stabbed by an edged weapon. This violent attack was completely unprovoked and the victims were transported to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital by BC Ambulance

Service and underwent surgery for serious but non-life threatening injuries and still remain in the hospital at this time.

The Cranbrook RCMP are seeking the assistance of anyone who may have observed or heard anything suspicious in the early morning hours in that area and are con-

centrating their investigation in the area of Kootenay Street North through to Victoria Avenue in the 400 to 1000 block.

At this early stage, the police believe this attack may be in retal-

iation for an earlier incident and is a case of mistaken identity.

If anyone has any additional information about this or any other crime they can call the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-

3471 or East Kootenay Crimestoppers (1800-222-TIPS) You can also a webtip by accessing the East Kootenay Crimestoppers website at : cintek.com/crimestoppers/

The annual Wiener Dog Races were one of the biggest hits during the Sam Steele Weekend in Canbrook.

Busy Sam Steele weekend Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Over the weekend, people packed the streets for Sam Steele Days celebrations.

Laura Kennedy, Sam Steele Days co-ordinator, said this was one of the most well-attended events she’s seen, and was helped along by the summer weather.

“Everything went really well.

The weather was really awesome on the weekend,” Kennedy said.

“We had record numbers out watching the parade, down at the central fairgrounds on Saturday.

We had huge participation in the ball and soccer tournaments. It was just a wonderful weekend.”

She couldn’t estimate the exact numbers attending the parade, but said it was in the thousands.

After the parade, everyone headed over to Rotary Park, where people could sample food from all over the area in the Taste

of Cranbrook event, check out the talent competition or purchase crafts and other goods from the many vendors. There was also face-painting, a petting zoo and balloon park for kids.

The Strongman competition took place right beside the park, while just down the road, the wiener dog races and lumberjack competition were going on.

She estimated 5,000-6,000 people in the fairgrounds, the area from Baker Street to Rotary Park.

“We were very happy with the way things went,” she said. “I would say attendance was definitely up this year.”

There were also sweetheart participants from other areas in attendance at the pageant and in the parade.

“We had more visiting royalty this year than we’ve had in a couple of years,” she said.

Kennedy said the event is planned throughout the year by a core committee of 12 people,

who then reach the different organizers of the events taking place.

“I would say there are probably 500 people involved one way or another in the daily activities,” she said. “There are probably 60 volunteers just working on the parade alone. Then you look at the ball tournament, there’s got to be 100 volunteers working on that event.”

When you factor in all the other events, the volunteer contribution is quickly felt.

Kennedy said the city and its staff were great to work with, as well as the corporate sponsors.

“It just really is a community event to make this thing happen,’ she said. “A big thank you to Cranbrook and everyone who came out and was either participating or spectating. It was a great weekend.”

She invites everyone to come out and celebrate next year when it will be the 50th anniversary of Sam Steele Days.

“City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3771, 2013” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until June 24, 2013, as posted on the bulletin board in the foyer at City Hall, or in the office of the Municipal Clerk.

The Public Hearing will commence in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 40 - 10 Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on the 24th day of June, 2013.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw Amendment may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING. Municipal Clerk

and 2011 both say so, and even the Israeli intelligence chiefs agree.

The whole campaign against Iran is based not on evidence but on mistrust: the conviction in some Western quarters (and most Israeli ones) that if Iran can enrich uranium, the “mad mullahs” are bound to build and use nuclear weapons in the end. But it is Iran’s right to build nuclear reactors and enrich fuel for them under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which it has signed and still observes.

Many in the West are privately uneasy about waging a campaign against Iran’s quite legal nuclear power programme when their own ally, Israel, has not signed the NPT and secretly possesses hundreds of nuclear weapons. Now that motor-mouth Ahmedinejad is gone and a saner leader is about to take the reins in Tehran, there could be a deal on the nuclear issue.

It would be a deal that preserves the country’s right to enrich uranium, but strengthens the controls against enrichment to weapons grade (90 percent). As with the question of releasing political prisoners, however, Rouhani must first get the assent of the Supreme Guide, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Khamenei, as the head of the theocratic side of the government, has the power to veto everything. On the other hand, he also wants to preserve this strange two-headed beast called the Iranian revolution, and he knows that if it does not retain popular consent it will eventually die.

Western sanctions are bringing the Iranian economy to its knees, and people are really hurting. So maybe Khamenei will let Rouhani and his backers save him.

Water Profile On behalf of the City’s Integrated Community Sustainability Committee, “Cranbrook Connected”, I wanted to thank the Townsman, and reporter Sally MacDonald in particular, for continuing the annual profile of our City’s water system.

Water use was the number one issue identified by our community following over four months of public consultations into sustainability in 2011. One of the principle goals in our resulting sustainability Plan “Connecting to our Future” (see cranbrookconnected.ca) was to develop an annual local media campaign on how our water system works. We felt that water protection and conservation begins with education about the system --from

The tagged fish for the mountain bike was not caught this year and can be claimed by kids under 15 until March 31, 2014.

Our community has made great strides on water sustainability. The City has signed on to the CBT Water Smart Charter, which commits the City to help reach a basin-wide water reduction goal of 20 per cent by 2015. In addition to our on/off outdoor watering days, the City has implemented a comprehensive leak detection program, a water conservation public education strategy and a low flow toilet rebate program. The latter program sold out in 2011 and 2012 and has been brought back again in 2013. Finally, the City’s Waste Water Improvement Project, suc-

cessfully completed in 2012, won the Sustainable Communities Award for Water from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

We can all do our part to make sure that those who come after use have the same access to a safe, efficient and sustainable water system. You can find out how to “make wiser water choices” at cranbrook. ca/water-conservation.

Thank you again to the Townsman for taking a leadership role in helping to build a better, stronger Cranbrook.

What ails the NDP? Plenty A Tom Fletcher

fter 34 NDP MLAs were sworn in to continue a stretch of opposition that will reach at least 16 years, leader Adrian Dix took a few questions about his future.

The party’s provincial council will meet June 21 to set the terms of reference for a review of the party’s dismal election performance, Dix told reporters. He repeated that his performance won’t be spared, and ticked off some conventional wisdom about the NDP campaign.

Dix mentioned the alleged lack of “negative” ads, the local campaigns (read candidates), the decreasing reliability of polls and, when pressed, his surprise decision to come out against the proposed twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline.

Like last week’s hysteria over a tiny leak in that pipeline, these are great sound bites for the short attention spans of the modern media. But they don’t explain much.

This all-powerful NDP provincial council is a case in point. A glimpse into its inner workings was provided by a summary of an NDP policy development workshop called “Imagine Our Future” that was leaked by the B.C. Liberals in the final days of the campaign.

The workshop took place in November 2010, coincidentally at the same provincial council meeting where the revolt against former leader Carole James tumbled into

What’s Up?

Downhill democracy Canadian citizens and taxpayers are really wondering about where are democracy is heading. Robocalls, MPs expenses during elections, MPs expenses between elections, and the infamous Senate scandal about expenses and the paying back of such expenses. If a Canadian citizen tried such tactics, charges would undoubtedly be laid. Are there two sets of laws; those for Canadians and those for elected and appointed Canadians? Over the centuries many brave Canadians paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that we have a democratic society and laws that apply to all Canadians. A famous Canadian wrote a poem that all Canadians should pay attention to; Take up our quarrel with the foe To you from failing hands we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, thou poppies grow In Flanders fields.

the open. While 13 caucus members were knifing their leader for reasons they still can’t or won’t articulate in public – a glaring problem in itself – the backroom policy brainstorm revealed a deeper malaise.

Among the “dream tree” notions put forward in the workshop was “free” post-secondary tuition and public transit, along with raising wages and lowering fees for daycare. This isn’t a dream tree, it’s a money tree.

Remember, this is the NDP’s ruling body, not a high school “social justice” class or an Occupy Vancouver squat.

Showing a glimmer of adult supervision, the workshop table on “equitable tax policy” even identified the problem. Its first recommendation: “Increase our economic and financial literacy to gain credibility.”

The “public ownership” table really got radical. Scrap public-private partnerships, the basis of most government construction today. “Nationalize” independent power projects, in the Venezuelan style of state seizure of private assets. And perhaps most incredibly, tear up the trade agreement between Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. that harmonizes transport truck regulations and so forth.

In the real world, the four western premiers met this week in Winnipeg. And the three-province project now called “New West Partnership” will continue to dismantle archaic inter-provincial barriers.

Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a “labour mobility” agreement.

This harkens back to a supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing identical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat.

This is the power of a monopoly union.

And because of it, this was how governments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commissioner” for forestry.

Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green” jobs respectively.

Competitors show off feats of strength TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

As usual, Calgary was well represented at the Strongman Competition on Saturday over the Sam Steele Days weekend, however there was some local talent in the lineup of 15 athletes.

However, the Albertans ran away with the top finishes, with Paul Binnette winning the who competition after barely making it into the event, according to Trevor Zak, who organizes the show.

“Paul Binnette, the guy who won, he’s friends with all the guys in Calgary,” said Zak. “He just came down because he wanted watch and he ended up coming to our banquet on Friday night and just asked me, ‘Man, can I go in? I’m so stoked about this.’”

“I just said, ‘Sure’.

“Kind of a last minute walk-on and he ended up winning.”

Huge crowds showed up beside Rotary Park to check out the show, which had some impressive feats and challenges, such as a headto-head dump truck pull and a medley event that featured a deadlift of a car.

“Every year, it gets bigger and bigger,” Zak added. “I’m just happy the community supports it so much. People from kids up to grandparents just love the event. It kind of boggles my mind, just how much people love the Strongman show. Every year it continues to grow.”

“We had some new athletes this year, so that was phenomenal and it seems like even though they’re still amateurs, they seem to be getting stronger and stronger.”

Other events included the Atlas stone lift, tire flips, the Husafell carry and the keg press, which made a return to honour the memory of

“That was one of Grant McReynolds favourite events, so we decided to bring that one back,” said Zak. “Even though it’s only 150 pounds, it’s a lot harder because it’s so short, compared to logs.”

It was the first time the competition had head-to-head truck pulls, as competitors raced side-by-side to get the huge machine rolling.

The atlas stone lift was another tough one, but that didn’t stop one competitor from requesting even bigger weights, which started at 250 pounds and only got heavier from there on in.

“Travis Dergousoff said he wants a 400pound stone next year, because the 365 was easy. We’ll see what we can do,” laughed Zak. However, by the time it got to the tire flip near the end of the show, the leaders of the pack began to pull away.

“It kind of separated the stronger guys from the guys who weren’t as strong, because towards the end, the guys who were first, second and third were obviously the

NEIL DAVIDSON Canadian Press

BOSTON - Daniel Paille and Patrice Bergeron scored second-period goals and Tuukka Rask made 28 saves Monday as the hard-charging Boston Bruins blanked the Chicago Blackhawks 2-0 to take a 2-1 lead in the Stanley Cup final.

The Bruins were full value for their second straight win, coming out hard and crashing Chicago. Boston seemed bigger, faster and meaner on the night.

“It’s nice to get a win,” said Bruins captain Zdeno Chara.

“We’re up 2-1. We’ve got to get ready for the next one.”

Even anthem singer Rene Rancourt seemed up for it, adding a few more degrees of difficulties to his litany of pre-game fist pumps and facial contortions. The TD Garden crowd of 17,565, Boston’s 163rd straight sellout, ate it up.

History has Boston at the front of the NHL championship bus now. Teams winning Game 3 after splitting first two games of the final have gone on to win 21 of 25 times since the best-ofseven format began in 1939.

Paille, the overtime hero of Game 2, opened the scoring for

Boston as the Bruins’ reshaped third line of Paille, Chris Kelly and Tyler Seguin paid dividends again. The trio accounted for both Boston goals in the Bruins’ overtime win in Game 2.

Bergeron then scored on the power play, with Paille and Kelly prompting the Hawk penalties that led to the goal. The Bruins forward was a one-man machine, with six shots in the first two periods alone. He also dominated faceoffs, winning 19 of 22 in the first 40 minutes.

The other Bruins did the little things too. Blocking shots. Winning faceoffs. Shrugging off Blackhawks like annoying little brothers. When the situation called for it, they just dumped the puck somewhere safe and regrouped.

Game 4 goes Wednesday in Boston.

Hawks co-scoring leader Marian Hossa was a late scratch after the warmups with an upper-body injury and was replaced by Ben Smith. That meant shelving a marquee player on a $7.9-million contract for a $550,000 forward who had played once this season. Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said after the game that Hossa is dayto-day.

It was a take-no-prisoners warmup. Boston coach Claude Julien said Chara suffered a small cut during warmup after colliding with bulking forward Milan Lucic.

Quenneville, who had earlier decided to replace Brandon Bollig with Viktor Stalberg, shook up his lines like a frustrated Scrabble player. Captain Jonathan Toews surprisingly started with Marcus Kruger and Michael Frolik, while Smith opened with Dave Bolland and Patrick Sharp.

Notes: The first two games of the series lasted some 186 minutes, leaving both teams with one win and five goals ... Chicago started Viktor Stalberg in place of Brandon Bollig

Argos give cornerback Horne his walking papers C anadian Press

Pacino Horne has gone from Grey Cup hero to being unemployed.

The speedy cornerback was among 11 players released Monday by the Toronto Argonauts. Horne started the club’s 35-22 CFL championship win over the Calgary Stampeders at Rogers Centre last November and delivered a key play in the victory.

With Toronto leading 7-3, Horne intercepted Calgary’s Kevin Glenn and returned it 25 yards

for the TD and a 14-3 advantage.

The six-foot-one, 181-pound Horne registered four interceptions with Toronto last season, his first in the CFL. Horne, whose mother named him after Academy Award-winning actor Al Pacino, was late reporting to the Argos training camp due to a calf injury.

“We have a number of talented players competing for spots in our secondary and we look forward to seeing them develop,” Argos GM Jim

Barker said in a statement.

Also released were kicker/punter Anthony Alix and receivers Quincy Hurst and Djems Kouame, all Canadians.

Running back Daryl Stephenson, who captured the 2006 Hec Crighton Trophy while at the University of Windsor, was among three players released by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The Ticats also announced fullback Isaac Dell, a 2013 fifth-round draft pick, has retired.

They may not have won the bocce tournament, however, the Boccerinas were the winners of the best costumed team in a field that included roughly 40 others.

Down in NBA final, Heat New bocce pits a hit: organizers head into familiar territory Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Change can be a good thing, and the new location for the bocce pits at Baker Park for Sam Steele Days went off with nary a hitch, as over 40 teams came out to christen the new spot.

Dressed up in their best costumes ranging from the respectable to the ridiculous, teams kicked off the action mid-morning and carried the revelry to the evening.

Prizes went to the top two teams, with Friends taking first place and a $250 cash prize, while RV Buds came in second place, which garnered $150 in winnings.

The best costumed team was also recognized with a $50 prize, which went to the Boccerinas.

The BA Blacktop Balls of Steele bocce tournament was a separate event from the ball tournament this year, as both had previously been organized by JCI Kootenay.

The two events used to be together at the Kinsmen Quad ball park, with the bocce action in one of the diamonds, however, a different community group stepped up to take the lead on organizing the ball tournament this year.

JCI Kootenay president Mike Matejka said his group wanted to separate the bocce from the ball tournament for that reason, and Baker Park seemed like a good spot.

“We wanted to get as close to downtown as possible, where they had the central fairgrounds, where all the

other events were taking place,” said Matejka.

“We were right next to the parade route as well, so we felt like we were definitely able to get some foot traffic from some people that were attending some of the other events, and it also allows the bocce players to go be spectators at other events.”

As far as feedback goes, Matejka only heard positive things about the move.

“The new location at Baker Park was a hit with players and spectators, everybody said it was a great place and we definitely intend on bringing the bocce back to Baker Park next year,” he said.

“I think we ended up with just over 800 people who came in and out of the gates.”

Even though the new location proved to be

well-received, Matejka said his fellow JCI Kootenay members and volunteers were still taking notes.

“We’re pretty happy with the way setup worked for us. We’d like to continue to grow the tournament and the number of teams and number of spectators that come out and watch,” Matejka said.”

“One of our biggest things was just realizing that we do have a little bit of extra space at the park that we didn’t necessarily utilize—we could expand the area a little bit, which would allow for some more teams, more spectators, possibly more vendors and all that sort of stuff.”

Matejka also gave a shout-out of appreciation to local businesses that sponsored the event, as well as the volunteers who helped out.

Hot Blue Jays topple Rockies 2-0 Jason Keller Canadian Press

TORONTO - Maicer Izturis made sure a strong outing from Blue Jays starter Josh Johnson didn’t go to waste.

Izturis drove in the game’s only runs with an RBI single in the eighth inning Monday as Toronto pushed its win streak to six games with a 2-0 interleague victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Johnson struck out 10 while giving up five hits and walking two through 7 1-3 innings but is still winless in seven starts since being acquired by the Blue Jays in the off-season.

After a rough start to the year and stint on the disabled list

with a triceps injury, Johnson has rounded into form as of late.

He’s given up a combined four runs in his last three starts, including Monday night’s gem which was twice pushed back due to a blister on one of his fingers.

“It is what it is at the beginning of the year, but now we’re winning and that’s the fun part and the key thing,” said Johnson.

“You win games and everything else takes care of itself.”

Monday’s victory marked Toronto’s first six-game winning streak since May 2011 and moved the club (33-36) to three games below .500 for the first time since April 21.

The streaking Blue Jays, who have won nine of 11, are coming off a 5-1 road trip that included the club’s first-ever four-game sweep of the Rangers in Texas.

Toronto broke open a 0-0 game with Colorado in the eighth when Davis greeted Rockies reliever Matt Belisle (4-4) with a single to right and stole second before Colby Rasmus walked. J.P. Arencibia advanced the runners on a short chopper back to the mound to set up Izturis, who sent a flair into short left field to cash in two runs.

After Melky Cabrera hit into a double to end the inning, Casey Janssen sealed the win with his 15th save in the ninth.

Tim Reynolds Associated Press

MIAMI - LeBron James has been wearing a good amount of camouflage attire at times during the NBA playoffs, with some of his vests, pants and even ties done in the design.

It doesn’t seem fitting, since there’s really

no where for him to hide.

He has more at stake than any other Miami player in these NBA Finals, especially now that the San Antonio Spurs are one game away from grabbing the title. If the Heat lose, it’ll be perceived as James’ failure. If the Heat win,

his status as the game’s best player not only becomes even more cemented, but he might even win over a few more doubters.

James says he looks forward to the challenge that starts when Miami hosts Game 6 of the series on Tuesday night.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: As a military war veteran and someone raised in the midst of inner-city violence, I have suffered from and learned a great deal about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There are many misconceptions about this common and treatable illness, and I want to make sure your readers know the truth about PTSD and how to get help if they need it.

When I got out of the service, I could only sit in certain positions in a room and go to certain places. I couldn’t be in crowds or tolerate any kind of loud traffic noise (not easy for a New Yorker). I couldn’t sit next to a window. If anyone came up behind me to say hello, I would drop them to the ground, expecting an attack.

I didn’t recognize this at the time as PTSD. I know there are many others with stories like mine, and I want them to know that PTSD is a real illness with real treatment options. It is also important to know that this doesn’t only affect members of the military. Anyone who experiences a traumatic event can develop PTSD. It wasn’t easy, but I eventually got the help I needed and am in a much better place. June 20 is PTSD Screening Day, and June is PTSD Awareness Month. Anyone can go online and take a free and anonymous screening at www.PTSDScreening.org to see whether their symptoms are consistent with those of PTSD. It can be hard to reach out and ask for help, but doing so can make a huge difference. -- William Terry Dear Mr. Terry: Thank you for sharing your story with our readers. You are correct that anyone who has witnessed or experienced trauma can suffer from PTSD. This includes anyone affected by recent tragedies such as Sandy Hook, the Boston Marathon and the tornadoes in Oklahoma. The first step to getting help is identifying the problem. We urge those who think their experience with trauma is impacting them to go to www.

PTSDscreening.org and take a short, free, anonymous screening. You won’t be sorry.

Dear Annie: Can you tell me what is so wrong with a youngster sending an invitation to her aunt addressed to “Aunt Frances” instead of “Mrs. Frances Smith”? My sister gets all bent out of shape when my 10-yearold daughter addresses an envelope to her this way. -- Wondering in Clinton Township Dear Wondering: Your sister should be amazed to receive a handwritten envelope from her niece altogether. It’s fairly rare these days. It’s perfectly OK for a young niece to write “Aunt Frances” on an envelope. Many aunts would be charmed. However, one rule of etiquette is not to intentionally offend. Since you know your sister wants a more formal address, teach your daughter to write to her this way, and please don’t editorialize when you do so.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Wish He’d Look for Another Job,” who is frustrated by a young co-worker. “Justin” can’t remember what was said the minute he hangs up the telephone, doesn’t pay attention to what he is doing, takes on no new responsibilities, makes the same mistakes over and over, texts his wife constantly and falls apart over every issue.

I would like to mention another possibility. I know a young man who needs constant teaching, doesn’t want to try new things, forgets almost instantly what he has been taught and rarely offers to do anything. He has a processing disorder. He is a loving 30-year-old, but I don’t think he will ever hold a job unless special considerations are made for him. I hope that if he does get a job, it is with folks who are tolerant of his learning disability, although they may not know he has special needs. -- A Reader Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Canadian rocker to play KCT S ta ff

Canadian rock icon, Matthew Good and his band will be performing at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on Nov. 21.

Good will be on the B.C. leg of his Cross Canada tour in support of his latest album “Arrows of Desire,” which is set for release Sept. 24 through Universal Music. However, the lead single from the disc “Had it Coming” was just released on itunes May 28. Opening act for the event is Gentlemen Husbands.

The Matthew Good Band was a Canadian alternative rock band formed by Matthew Good, that existed from 1993 to 2002. The band became one of the most successful rock bands of the 1990s, being nominated for a Juno award in 1998, for best new group, and winning the award for Group of the Year in 2000.

Matthew Good in concert.

The band dissolved in 2002, but Good pursued a successful solo career and has enjoyed multiple hit records since that time.

The phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” doesn’t apply to Good. One of his defining characteristics is exactly the opposite of that popular axiom. Over his two-decade career, Good has taken fans on a journey, from the original Matthew Good Band, to “Hospital Music,” to his 2011 Juno winning release “Vancouver.”

Good continues to push into uncharted territory. “Arrows of Desire” marks the follow-up to 2011’s “Endangered Species.” A compilation disc “Old Fighter” was released earlier this year.

Good has a place in Canadian music as one of Canada’s most relevant artists, clearly inspired by new influences artistically, yet

remaining inherently recognizable.

Tickets for Matthew Good’s “Arrows of Desire” tour went on sale at the Key City theatre box office Monday, June 17, and are priced at $45 all inclusive. Tickets are also available by phone by calling 250-426-7006.

Fans should note that tickets for the tour are going on sale early because the Key City Box office will be closed for the summer from June 28 to mid-August.

So get your tickets for Matthew Good early to avoid disappointment.

“I got my first guitar when I was eight,” says Va n c o u v e r- b a s e d champion guitarist Don Alder. “It wasn’t playable, but I did wear one mean Beatles wig!”

A whimsical beginning for one of Canada’s most internationally-respected masters of the acoustic guitar, who performs live in concert at the Studio Stage Door Theatre this coming Saturday, June 22. This will be Alder’s first performance in the East Kootenay region.

With a career spanning over three decades, Don Alder has been prominently featured in Guitar Player magazine, and his awards and accolades are more than numerous.

“I got really sick when I was 15, and was bedridden for a few months … that’s when my Mom bought me my first electric guitar; a cheap one from the Simpson-Sears catalog,” Alder says. “I saw Jimi Hendrix’s set on the Woodstock movie and there was no turning back. Brian May of

Queen was a pivotal mentor for me. Advanced acoustic-guitar players like Bruce Cockburn and Joni Mitchell inspired my finger-style playing. Wishbone Ash is my favorite guitar-based band of all time. Then I began listening to Al DiMeola and Frank Zappa, and discovered Michael Hedges after that.”

Alder’s main instrument of choice is the Yamaha AC3R-OM model, although he also notably plays a vintage Dyer Harp guitar built in 1918. His arsenal also includes guitars custom-built by private luthiers to his standards.

“The only practice I get is through songwriting,” he says. “I don’t have formal technical skills, which can be problematic at times as I have to remember everything! As a kid, I didn’t want to practice; I only wanted to create, and that still remains the case today. That said, I do wish I had some formally-trained skills, as it makes music easier to understand, and to communicate

Don Alder will be giving a free guitar workshop Saturday afternoon, June 22, followed by a concert at the Studio Stage Door in Cranbrook. with other musicians. It also helps you to problem-solve. If I had these skills, I could be much more time-efficient.”

“My creative process is actually fairly simple,” Alder says. “Songs come to me in many ways, and the best ones seem like gifts that happen

quickly. I usually noodle about on the guitar, trying different off-the-cuff melodies and passages, which often leads to something which reveals itself as a few notes where I think: wow, what’s that? Then I’ll explore that.

“Many times, a melo-

dy will take its own path if you let it. When I fight with it, or try to work it too hard, then it takes a LONG time to complete a song. This is probably the one area where having traditional musical training could be useful to me as a writing tool.

Because of my lack of

understanding of the guitar fretboard, I can remain a little kid and just explore the music without any set rules or regulations.”

It’s interesting to learn of Alder’s other musical dabblings. “I also play a bit of drums and bass, and can write

songs on keyboards. I’d like to be better on those instruments. I’d also like to play harp and saxophone, but seriously: the best instruments to play are cowbell, accordion, bagpipes, and the banjo … you don’t have to worry about anyone stealing them out of your car!”

As well as his Studio Stage Door show, Alder will also be hosting a free guitar clinic (sponsored by Yamaha Instruments and Ray’s Music) for any interested local acoustic guitarists wishing a close-range tutorial, to be held at AM Music (formerly Blastbeats Music in Specialty Lane) at 3 pm Saturday June 22.

Don Alder performs live at the Studio Stage Door Theatre (11-11th Ave.S., Cranbrook BC) Saturday June 22; 8 pm.

Advance tickets for sale at Lotus Books. For more information call 250426-3415. Those wishing to attend Alder’s free acoustic guitar clinic are cordially invited to AM Music (14-13th Ave.S., Cranbrook) 3 p.m.
