Summer fun

It’s time for JulyFest Are you ready for some bocce?

C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

After months of organization, Kimberley’s biggest party is set to go this weekend — it’s time for JulyFest.

Fest organizer Dave Clark and Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery say everything is ready for the opening bocce ball toss (courtesy of Mayor Ron McRae and Chamber President Darren Close) at 3:45 p.m. at the bocce pits on Rotary Drive. Games get underway at 4 p.m.

Just about every hotel room in Kimberley is booked for the

weekend as bocce and soccer teams, and other JulyFest participants descend on Kimberley.

Bocce was cut off at 194 teams this year and the draw will be available in the Bulletin on Thursday, and online at www.kimberleyjulyfest.com While they are as ready as they can be, Clark and Guarnery would never turn down a volunteer, so if you’d like to lend a hand reffing a bocce game, selling tickets, pouring refreshments or at the dance, call the Chamber office at 250-4273666 or sign up on the website.

“We need four strong helpers to help set up the band for the 54-40 show,” Clark said.

Kimberley to join global art movement Public art project asks what you want ‘before I die’ C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

A couple of years ago, American artist and urban planner Candy Chang lost someone she loved very much.

In her own words: “It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you.

After I lost someone I loved very much, I thought about

death a lot. This helped clarify my life, the people I want to be with, and the things I want to do, but I struggled to maintain perspective. I wondered if other people felt the same way. So with help from old and new friends, I painted the side of an abandoned house in my neighborhood in New Orleans with chalkboard paint and stenciled it with a grid of the sentence “Before I die I want to _______.” Anyone walking by could pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space.

“It was an experiment and I didn’t know what to expect.

By the next day, the wall was bursting with handwritten responses and it kept growing: Before I die I want to… sing for millions, hold her one more time, eat a salad with an alien, see my daughter graduate, abandon all insecurities, plant a tree, straddle the International Date Line, be completely myself… People’s responses made me laugh out loud and they made me tear up. They consoled me during my toughest times.

Getting the communities outside

Kimberley is one of six cities to be chosen for GET OUTSIDE BC. Five local youth are going to Squamish for a five-day trip full of workshops to learn about how to encourage others to stay fit in their community .

Kaity Brown Townsman Staff

F

ive Kimberley students have earned the opportunity to go to Squamish to a program that teaches them the importance of staying fit and how to be leaders in their community, and encouraging their peers and others in the community to do the same.

The cities chosen for the collaborative youth leadership workshop were Victoria, Vancouver,

Hope, Kelowna, Prince George and Kimberley.

The programs goals are to empowering youth to become leaders in their community to encourage others and in the process make them even stronger outdoor-enthusiasts than they already are.

The trip to Squamish will connect our Kimberley kids to other passionate youth in the other five cities, giving them the tools they need so that when they get back they can work on collaborative

events, plus their own events, to inspire Kimberley to get outside again.

The youth summit goes from Saturday, July 13, to Wednesday, July 17. Participants will meet new friends, hone their leadership and organizational skills and learn to become even more passionate about the beautiful backyard that is Kimberley.

Lori Joe, the regional coordinator for this project, has been helping prepare the kids and has faith that they will come back from the

trip with even more passion than they have already.

“I think they will get a better sense of how to create a program and how to recruit people and take ownership of it.”

Rob MacDonald, from B.C. Parks, has gotten involved with the project too, passionate about doing anything he can to help out.

“I just wanted to know more about it. So I went on the website and read up on it and I was really excited about the whole program.”

MacDonald and Joe joined

forces to get the program up and running. Now they are sending the kids off to Squamish for the firs phase of their adventure.

Local representatives are Michae Mitchell, Keaton Smith, Bryn Oakley, Marlo Armstrong and Gusta Hagland. Here’s a chance to get to know them a little bit:

MARLO ARMSTRONG

BRYN OAKLEY

GUSTAF HAGLAND Do you think people in your generation are fairly active and involved in the outdoors? Why or why not?

I like to think my generation is fairly balanced when it comes to outdoor activity. Most of us balance our hours spent outside with the hours we spend on the television. Although some of us choose to only stay inside on beautiful sunny days. With Get Outside BC I hope to gain the ability to help my generation get outside and to gain the skills needed to be able to keep a healthy lifestyle.

2nd YEAR!

KEATON SMITH

MICHAEL MITCHELL

A lot of people are very busy and some even have jobs where they are in an office all day. How do you think busy people would be able to incorporate getting outdoors into their schedules? And why is it important to stay active even when you are busy?

What do you think about staying fit in different seasons, particularly winter vs. summer? Do you think there is much of a difference or that one is more challenging than the other?

The Get Outside BC project is about getting youth in our community outside and enjoying outdoor activities. When kids grow up learning to enjoy the outdoors they tend to continue that in their adult lives. Simple things like going for a hike in the evening or on weekends with the family cam be beneficial to everyone in the family both mentally and physically.

Staying fit should be important to everyone but winter can bring some interesting challenges, especially to a person who is trying to stay active. In Kimberley, instead of less activities, the snow opens up new opportunities such as downhill and cross country skiing just to name a couple. Your lifestyle really dictates your fitness level but if you have the right mindset, winter shouldn’t cause any problems at all.

What do you think the differences are between trying to stay fit in a small town like Kimberley and a big city?

In my opinion the differences are mainly just the terrain between a big city and a place like Kimberley, determination and drive is what keeps people in shape and I think Kimberley just has more of an abundance of people wanting to stay fit and healthy. There may be more opportunity in a place like Kimberley, but if you truly wanted to maintain your fitness in a larger city you would find a way to do it. Everyone has opportunity to stay fit, it just depends how important they think their fitness is.

Calling All Photographers Cranbrook Fire Services is putting together a local calendar to raise funds and awareness for the Burn Fund. We are looking for local photos of local landscapes to include in this comprehensive 16 month calendar.

This calendar will include SD#5 and SD#6 school calendar, Kootenay Ice and Dynamiter Home Game schedule and all great local events we love to attend.

What do you think are some of the challenges in trying to create outdoor activities where people of all fitness levels can participate together?

I think some on the challenges could be the way people look at themselves. They may be too embarrassed, think they wouldn’t be able to do it, or think that is too easy for them. That could be one problem and another could be doing an activity that is quite easy and simple but that might limit it to only the average people not the more fit people. There is ways around this, for example, when you create an activity you make different events and different levels of difficulties, tha way everyone is incorporated. The only problem with this is could be a lot to organize and it could turn ou to be a disaster if people of every fitness level don’t get an activity tha fits them.

FozzyFest finds new home at Koocanusa Koocanusa played host to a 1,000-person strong music festival on the Canada Day long weekend.

By Sally MacDonald Cranbrook Daily Townsman

FozzyFest, a threeday-long electronic music festival, was held at Big Springs campground at Tobacco Plains Indian Band from June 28 to July 1.

It was a last-minute scramble to host the event at Koocanusa. In its ninth year, FozzyFest — named with the nick-

name of one of the key organizers, Shawn Lafleur — has always been held beside a river on Crown land in Kananaskis country, Alberta.

But everything fell apart for organizers one week before the event when flooding hit southeast B.C. and southern Alberta.

“We thought it wouldn’t be a big deal, that the roads would open up. The river might move a little bit, but we thought every-

City of Kimberley

NOTICE As part of our Community Wildfire Fuels Management Program and through a grant from UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) the City of Kimberley will be treating one unit in the Kimberley Nature Park. The Unit is located between Upper Army Road and the Kimberley Nordic Trails and between Myrtle Junction and the Trickle Creek Golf Course.

The objective is to reduce the probability of catastrophic urban interface fires in an area adjacent to the City of Kimberley by reducing surface fuel loading and lowering canopy fuel loading through stand treatments.

This Unit will receive thinning through a fuel removal & piling followed by burning of debris later in the fall.

This project will start July 15, 2013 and be completed February 1, 2013.

The area is signed as active falling and the public is asked to stay clear of the area while the work is being completed.

The City of Kimberley would like to thank you for your cooperation.

For additional information contact the Fire Department at 427-4114 or visit the Kimberley Nature Park website.

thing would be fine,” said managing director Darryl Stanat.

But five days before the event was set to begin, they realized there was no way they could reach the location.

“It became apparent after trying to get down there several times from all different angles that the whole area was shut down. Every road in there was washed out – literally, gone. It was just a big gap in the road.

“Five days before the event we came to the realization that we were either going to have to move the event or cancel it,” said Stanat.

So organizers drafted emails to suppliers, talent, and vendors, ready to cancel the event. They planned to pull the switch at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25.

In the meantime, Stanat and another organizer began a mad scramble to find a new location in time.

“We had Monday and Tuesday to drive all around to try to find a new venue. We drove to five different venues, from Saskatchewan to Sundre to Cochrane to this final location on Koocanusa. We found it at about 3 p.m. on the Tuesday, an hour before we were going to cancel the event,” said Stanat.

They met with Tobacco Plains’ Debra Kotaluk, and in the space of one hour, they managed to work together and find a way for the event to be hosted at Big Springs.

“They had already rented out some of the campground to other campers, and they have some permanent campers who live at the site,” said Stanat.

“Debra was super helpful in reorganizing those campers and getting contacts for us in all those services that we had to adjust – drinking water, port-a-potties,

power generators.”

Stanat said that with the help of friend Dano Cutts, whose family live in Baynes Lake, they managed to source suppliers from around the East Kootenay to fill in at the last minute.

“We made a concerted effort to find services locally, and we were able to do that in two days, which is remarkable,” said Stanat.

And so the festival went on. Three stages were set up in the campsite – one on the beach and two among the trees.

“Everybody was

FozzyFest, attended by 1,000, found a new location at Koocanusa, minutes before a deadline to cancel the event. FozzyFest is usually held in Kananaskis, but floods forced either the event’s relocation or cancellation.

Canada’s best touring bands perform.

There is no opening act for 54-40, as the music in the bocce pits won’t stop until 9:30 p.m. The outdoor stage closes at that time and it is hoped everyone will head over to the Civic Centre for the dance.

Tickets for 54-40 are available online until 5 p.m. Wednesday. They will also be available at the door.

On Friday night, there is a roller derby at the Civic Centre.

Families are welcome to attend. Don’t forget — no minors are allowed in the bocce pits after 6 p.m.

A great lineup of music is planned for the outdoor stage at the bocce pits both evenings.

Beginning at 4 p.m.

Friday with Miss Grizzly, the Good Ol’ Goats at 6:30 p.m., and Oak Republic at 8 p.m. On Saturday, music starts at 10 a.m. with 60 Hertz, Sketch at noon, 2:30 it’s Scarlet Jane, Elk Hunt at 5 p.m. and Hot Muck at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday also begins with a pancake breakfast at the bocce pits, then stay there to watch the parade, which gets underway at 10:30 a.m.

A Kids Fest begins at 11 a.m. Saturday at Rotary Park. Of course, there is the big JulyFest soccer tournament all weekend, five and ten K runs in the Nature Park on Saturday, and the Sullivan Challenge Longboard race on Sunday.

pleased that we were able to find a venue and still put on the event.

When they saw the new venue, they fell in love,” said Stanat.

“It’s an amazing venue. There are lots of shady areas here. It’s a beautiful campground with a beautiful beach and lake.”

After receiving noise complaints on the first night, organizers even agreed to reduce the capacity of its sound system by 50 per cent after midnight.

RCMP visited the site and were satisfied that organizers had appropriate first aid and security measures in place.

Now, FozzyFest may be held at Koocanusa regularly, Stanat said.

“We still have a lot of negotiating to do and talking to all the different people that would be involved. But we are hopeful that we will be able to do it in the same venue again because it went off spectacularly.”

Before I die From page 1 “I understood my neighbors in new and enlightening ways, and the wall reminded me that I’m not alone as I try to make sense of my life.”

The public art experiment quickly went global and walls sprung up everywhere.

And now Before I Die is coming to Kimberley.

The Kimberley Arts Council/Centre 64 and the Columbia-Kootenay Cultural Alliance are behind the project and construction of the wall is underway. KAC president Laurel Ralston says that the Kimberley version will be free-standing and mobile so it can be taken to different events and locations. For instance, it will be in the Platzl for Arts on the Edge in August.

“We’ll use an accordion style design,” Ralston said. “The middle section will include the title, Before I Die, and will be decorated with paint-

ings.”

These paintings will be contributed by local artists. Contact Ralston at 250-427-3050 if you would be interested in providing a painting.

The rest of the wall is open to whatever the community wishes to express. If the spaces fill up, Ralston says some contributions will be erased to make room for more, but a photograph will be taken of each version of the wall and put up online.

“Before I Die is about remembering what is important in life, creating a public space for contemplation, and re-imagining how our public spaces can better reflect what matters to us as a community and as individuals,” Ralston said.

More information and examples of Before I Die walls from around the world can be found at www.beforeidie.cc.

Empty seats for political theatre

P

remier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up.

By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections B.C., Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation.

These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the B.C. government.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision.

The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets.

The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in

their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do.

What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here.

An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients who don’t own their own chairs.

In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it.

It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health.

But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country.

And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by BC Views “more government funding” is now so engrained in Tom our education system that it Fletcher seems inescapable.

One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the B.C. government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost.

Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago.

The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit

Welcome Centre now open in Cranbrook Melba Hanson

Cranbrook is officially now a “Welcoming Community.”

The Immigrant Welcome Centre opened this month at 19A 9th Avenue South. The centre is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., staffed by Settlement Worker Anna Jordan. The lead agency in Cranbrook and Kimberley is the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL). The grand opening is July 25 at 2 p.m.; the public is invited.

“This is a natural fit for our organizations as we already offer immigrants English as a second language training,” said Katherine Hough, the coordinator for

CBAL in Cranbrook. “It is important to realize we offer these settlement services to anyone who has immigrated with in the past 10 years, not just those who are newly arrived.”

The Immigrant Welcome Centre in Kimberley has been open for a couple of months and Settlement Worker Pam Bailie is pleased with the number of people who have already used the service.

“We’ve helped people fill out forms for their school age children, accompanied a couple of individuals to various appointments, assisted with permanent resident card applications, figured out a few confusing phone

Coroner takes over inquiry into Monteith death Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Toxicology tests and an autopsy will be performed on the body of “Glee’’ star Cory Monteith.

With no obvious cause of death, the BC Coroners Service confirmed today it will do further testing on the Canadian actor’s body in order to determine how the 31-year-old died.

It may take several days before results are in from the toxicology tests.

Vancouver police say they are

stepping back from the investigation after ruling out foul play.

Sgt. Randy Fincham says police see bad drugs in the city on occasion and officers recently noted two teenagers died of overdoses as a result, but there’s nothing to indicate Monteith’s death was due to illicit drug use.

Police say when Monteith’s body was found Saturday in a Vancouver hotel he had been dead for several hours.

ship and Immigration Canada,” Bailie said.

“We’ve also given information on how to find work through WorkBC, how to get a foreign degree accredited in Canada and how to find your way around the Nature Park.”

The project is multi-dimensional and there are many partners involved in both communities. The projects and events they have planned will roll out over the next 12 months.

One example is the Cranbrook Public Library, which is inviting immigrants to come to the Library for the Newcomers Reading Club,

Film Nights and Family Games Nights. Head librarian Ursula Brigl announced that they are also offering a “living library” with human books and what they term “a reverse travelogue” program.

The Cranbrook Centre is looking for volunteers. If you are a welcoming person and can volunteer a few hours a week please contact the office at 250-581-2112 or email wccranbrook@ gmail.com. Training will be provided. The program is made possible through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of BC.

On the trail with the twitchers

A

very distant relative from Australia visited us a few years back. His name is Lorne Mauer, so you can imagine how quickly he obtained his nickname.

Lorne wanted to climb up into the Rockies on to a peak that was higher than Australia’s Mount Kosciuszko, so I took him up Maus Creek and lied a bit.

Lorne had apparently become a bird-watcher. It must have been an odd decision because he’s a big lad, like two men packed into one shirt, and didn’t sit still very much at all. He kept rushing about, not looking at birds, and is apparently brain damaged from playing too much rugby or Aussie Rules.

Anyway, I needed a rest before we reached the crest of a suitable ridge and so suggested lunch. Lorne didn’t seem to need food, so while he scrambled about looking for rare birds, I ate my lunch and then, carefully, inserted a very large rock into his pack, the way they do to jockeys, just to even things up.

Finally on the ridge in pleasant weather, Lorne got lucky. He reckoned he’d spotted a golden eagle or, maybe, a condor, making lazy circles in the sky, the way hawks do in Oklahoma. I guessed it might be a turkey vulture and hoped that I didn’t look too dead.

I probably should have opened at least one eye just to humour Lorne but my eye-

lids had grown uncommonly heavy after lunch and the exertion.

Lorne said, “You see that?” I mumbled incoherently. “It’s a condor. Look at the size of that bird!”

Over the years I have learned to deal with ‘twitchers’. I prised one eyelid open and said, “You mean that one over there with the droopy feathers?”

Peter Apparently Lorne Warland couldn’t see it. “It’s an Alpine Booby,” I suggested. “About the size of an Alaskan Honey Sucker.”

This threw Lorne into some sort of panic. ‘Twitchers’, especially the tyros, hate to think that they’ve missed a rare sighting.

He started rushing about on the summit rocks saying, “Where? Where?”

I got a tad concerned and hoped that the idiot didn’t fall over the edge and have to be rescued. As I said, he’s huge. I sat up and tried to calm the man and wondered if the flecks of foam at his mouth might not have been caused somehow by the rock in his pack. It could have been magnetite and was messing magnetically with his few remaining brain cells.

Back then, I only knew of three types of bird: little ones like hummingbirds and finches, robins, woodpeckers and those pesky blue jays that import peanuts from Africa and leave the shells all over the yard; bigger ones like albatrosses, vultures, frigate birds, parrots, cashews, very big chick-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

adees, ostriches and tropical bats; and really big suckers like pterodactyls. I sat upright and pointed into the hazy distance saying, “Look! Isn’t that an Argentinian Kestrel?” I pointed again in another direction. “They’re probably hunting each other, that kestrel and the Whooping Crane. See?” I’ve discovered that, if you have a really good imagination, you can actually enjoy bird-watching. You might even join a group of fellow ‘twitchers’ and meet regularly. It would be fun.

But you can’t spoil an ardent bird-watcher’s fun by pointing out the truth, can you? Poor Lorne’s magnetite-damaged brain was getting the best of him and so we moved on down towards the valley and relative sanity. I couldn’t tell even a distant relative that what he’d been watching so zealously was the plastic bag that had contained my meagre lunch and had blown away while I was stuffing his pack with that large rock. It had almost looked as if it were enjoying those lazy circles in the sky. I sometimes wonder if any zealous hiker retrieved it.

Only last week I received a surprise card from Lorne, safely back in Australia, maybe in a mental home for ‘twitchers’. The picture on the card was of a very ugly emu and the message on the back was, ‘Was it one of these, mate?’

Australians have a weird sense of humour.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN BANDITS

Little mistakes prove costly for Bandits TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

A few tweaks here and there and the weekend could’ve gone a lot different for the Rocky Mountain Bandits.

However, they still had a good showing at a tournament in Kalispell, winning one game and losing two others by only one run.

“We’re taking games that we get command of, and then letting them back in a little bit, sometimes slowly, without closing the door on them, so we gotta get tougher,” said Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek.

“A routine play turns into an error, bad base running—you can’t have that.”

The first game ended with a close 9-8 loss to the Vauxhall Spurs. “…We were right in there but we’re making too many little mistakes,” said Mrazek. “A little mistake here, a little mistake there, and we can’t keep making as many because they pile up, and then we let the other team back in the game.”

The Bandits fought back in the second game, demolishing the

Whitefish Glacier B team 10-5.

After the first four innings, the Bandits managed to surge to a 10-run lead before things came a little unhinged.

“We came out, hit the ball really well,” said Mrazek. “I believe we had about 10 runs in the first four innings and then it was probably the second time around for their hitters against [pitcher] Carter McDonald and they just started

swinging it and hitting ‘em hard.”

McDonald had some pain in his throwing arm, and Mrazek pulled him after a few hits and a walk, replacing him with Devon Marra.

The Glaciers then scored five runs before the inning before the Bandits closed it out.

“They got five back in that inning,” added Mrazek. “All of the sudden, their bats came alive and talking to their

coach, he said, ‘We just started doing what you guys were doing—hitting the ball hard.’”

Their final game against a team from Medicine Hat, saw both teams see-saw in and out of the lead until things were knotted at 6-6 after the final inning.

“We were up, then they got back in it, then we took the lead again and then they tied it up,” Mrazek said. “There was a couple of runs that

should’ve scored, but base running errors…we couldn’t score because we were getting picked off.”

The Medicine Hat Knights were able to capitalize on an error in an extra inning to get on base, and the runner eventually scored.

Next action for the Bandits is a home game at Confederation Park against the local senior men’s team on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Women’s Avs to host youth volleyball camps TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Local volleyball players will have a chance to get some coaching from the Avalanche during two camps in August that will be run by women’s coach Agata Bendkowska.

The camp is for girls in grades 7-9 that will focus on building and strengthening foundational skills as they move into high school volleyball.

There will be an emphasis on foundational skills, team play, offensive and defensive court positioning and mental and physical conditioning, said Brian Millis, who is Bendkowska’s assistant coach with the women’s Avs.

Other camp activities will include scrimmages and some training outside the College of the Rockies gym in the beach volleyball courts.

The camp will have a minimum of 12 spots, with a maximum of 40, on a first come, first serve basis. The two sessions will run in the afternoons from Aug.

12-15 and Aug. 19-22.

While Bendkowska and Millis will be working with the young talent, they will be getting some help from the women’s Avalanche team, as a few signed and committed athletes for next year’s squad will be around as well.

“They come in and help out with the camp and then a portion of the money goes towards the team, so it helps out the program, more or less than anything, and then we give back to the community as well,” said Millis.

MLB boss insists sport is ‘cleaner than it’s ever been’ RONALD BLUM Associated Press

NEW YORK - With his staff pursuing yet another investigation into performance-enhancing drugs, Commissioner Bud Selig defended baseball’s drug-testing program on the eve of the AllStar game and insisted “this sport is cleaner than it’s ever been.”

Selig declined to detail timing for decisions in the probe of the closed anti-aging clinic Biogenesis, accused of distributing performing-enhancing drugs. MLB could attempt to discipline former MVPs Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun along with other players.

Baseball began drug testing for the 2003 season, added penalties the following year, banned amphetamines in 2006 and started

HGH blood testing last year. Critics said baseball didn’t move quickly enough.

“People say, ‘Well, you were slow to react.’

We were not slow to react,” Selig said Monday. “In fact, I heard that this morning, and it aggravated me all over again.”

There were eight violations of the major league drug program last year, and All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera was among those who served a 50game suspension following a positive PEDs test. There have been no suspensions in the big leagues this year.

During a question-and-answer session arranged by Politico, a question was sent

by Will, identified as an 8-year-old in Los Angeles. He asked: “How old will I be when ... you can say that there are

“I used to object way back when, when people would talk about steroids.

They’re not a baseball problem or a football problem or a basketball problem. They’re a societal problem.”

Bud Selig no more cheaters in baseball, not one?”

“Will, this is what I would say to you,” Selig responded. “I used to object way back when, when people would talk about steroids.

They’re not a baseball problem or a football problem or a basketball problem. They’re a societal problem.”

Selig, who turns 79

on July 30, also denied his willingness to combat steroids has increased during his time in office, which started in 1992.

“Some people say now that I’m over-vigilant because I’m worried about my legacy,” he said. “That’s nonsense. That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard.

This is in the best interests of baseball. I was brought up to understand that you are to do what’s in the best interest of this sport no matter what, even if it’s painful, and we’re going to do that.”

He maintained the majority of players object to being tainted as playing in what’s referred to as the Steroids Era. “Most players on their team didn’t do anything. They were as clean as could be,” he said. “So the Steroid

Era in short to some people implies, well everybody did it. That’s wrong, and it’s unfair.”

According to Selig, Major League Baseball’s decision to hire former U.S. Secret Service director Mark Sullivan to assist in its Biogenesis probe was evidence of baseball’s effort to ensure there are “no stones unturned.”

“We have many groups, consulting groups that are working on this whole investigation,” he said.

Selig has said repeatedly he intends to retire, only to change his mind. His current term runs through December 2014, and he has made no effort to start planning for a successor.

“That’s a subject that I’m going to put off for a while. Right now we haven’t gotten into specifics,” he said.

New Jersey Devils working through Kovalchuk departure TOM C ANAVAN Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. While caught off-guard by star forward Ilya Kovalchuk’s decision to retire from the NHL and return home to Russia, New Jersey Devils coach Pete DeBoer said his team’s job this season is to prove doubters wrong.

Speaking between sessions of a rookie camp, DeBoer said the loss of the 30-year-old Kovalchuk leaves big holes on the team’s top line and specialty teams, and it will create playing time others will have to fill.

“We have to. That’s the bottom line,” DeBoer said Monday. “There’s no, ‘What can you do?’

We’re going to have to find a way. That’s going to be the mantra. The league is not going to stand still. I think I’ve used that phrase before.

“No one is going to feel sorry for you, the New Jersey Devils.

When the puck drops in October, we’ve got to be ready to compete with the guys we’ve got, and

we’ve got a good group of people here.”

The Devils reached the Stanley Cup finals in 2012 with Kovalchuk playing a major role, but they missed the post-season this year when they struggled in the second half of the lockout-shortened, 48game season.

The future doesn’t look bright without Kovalchuk, who walked away with $77 million left on the 15-year contract he signed in 2010.

His defection comes a year after Zach Parise signed with Minnesota as a free agent.

“Sure it’s different,” said DeBoer, who said he needed a day to catch his breath after Kovalchuk’s retirement from the NHL was announced on Thursday.

“You take out a Parise, you take out a Kovalchuk, those are players that singlehandedly can do some things that only a handful of players in the world can do. So we’re going to have to be a different team and have to play more of a team game.”

Montreal Canadiens player announces retirement C ANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL - Montreal Canadiens forward Blake Geoffrion announced his retirement on Monday.

The 25-year-old had been considering stepping away from hockey due to lingering effects of a skull fracture and concussion suffered during an American Hockey League game in November.

Geoffrion, the grandson of Canadiens legend Bernie Geoffrion and great-grandson of superstar Howie Morenz, notified general manager Marc Bergevin in March that he might retire.

“After suffering an injury in November and taking time to recover and reflect, I have decided to step away from the game of hockey for the time being,” Geoffrion said in a statement Monday.

The six-foot-one centre was skating for the Hamilton Bulldogs when he suffered a depressed skull fracture from a hit by defenceman Jean-Philippe Cote of the Syracuse Crunch during a Nov. 9 American Hockey League game at the Bell Centre.

A powerful tool when you want to reach your potential customers.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Opportunity merges with a sense of responsibility, and your confidence is strengthened as a result. The path in which you choose to head has very good indicators of success. Remain sensitive to a family member who could be facing a difficult time. Tonight: Head home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your expectations of a project will be more than reasonable, especially following a very upbeat conversation. A partner or an associate will be on the same page as you, which will add extra pizazz and energy. You are on the same team. Tonight: Go where there is music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Understand that the power you wield is a result of having competence, knowledge and financial backing. Ask someone to join your team in order to make a project better and easier on you. This person’s enthusiasm might surprise you. Tonight: Buy a card on the way home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might not be aware of how responsive others are at the moment. You are like a locomotive, with the enthusiasm and energy. Others are like the rest of the train, with the expertise and knowledge. Together, you are a winning team. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be taken aback by someone’s stubbornness. The less said the better. You might be quite amused by this person’s attitude at first, but by evening, it could get old rather quickly.

You will be a bit touchy by late afternoon. Tonight: Don’t hold back. Share your feelings.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a keen sense of direction, and you know what needs to happen. Use your strong support system to create more of what you desire. Someone is quite responsive to your ideas, and he or she will take a lot of the burden off your shoulders.

Tonight: Have a long-overdue talk.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

You might want to take a good look at the basics before you move in a new direction and try to foster a seemingly good idea.

If you can be honest with yourself, you might see a weakness in your finances. Weigh the impact of this issue before you act.

Tonight: Time for a talk.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What might have seemed difficult now seems much easier.

Listen to news from someone at a distance. Evaluate what is happening, then decide if you want to take action. This could involve taking a workshop or listening to a lecture. Tonight: Others are delighted to see you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal directly with someone who holds the purse strings. This person is in this position because he or she has a good sense of what is needed. You might not agree, and you could feel put off. Choose to learn from this person. Ask questions. Tonight: Spend time with a loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be exhausted and looking for a solution. You might

discover how willing others are to be your support system and/ or to pitch in. Pick the people with the most determination and endurance. Meetings keep dotting your calendar. Tonight: Choose what makes you happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pressure builds, as you could be stressed out by a boss’s requests.

You will go out of your way to deliver what this person wants.

Even if he or she appears to be stern, it does not mean that is the case, nor does it mean that he or she is not pleased. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know how to read beyond what someone says. You will look at the person in question, and you’ll carefully assess his or her demeanor. Note what he or she does not say as well. You will be able to tell whether a fact or two are missing. Tonight: Where you can relax.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: After my bitter divorce, my son decided to live with his father in another state. I have spent thousands of dollars on airplane tickets, hotels, car rentals and restaurants. I have never forgotten my two grandchildren’s birthdays.

Here’s the rub: To save money, I have traveled alone and stayed with my son. Recently, I stayed for four days. After traveling 1,000 miles, I spent two hours in a shuttle because my son did not pick me up at the airport as promised. When I arrived at their house, there was nothing to eat. I had to ask my son to make something, as I do not feel comfortable in their kitchen. My grandson gave up his bed for me, and the room was a mess (to say the least). His bathroom sink and tub were clogged, and my daughter-in-law expected me to clean them. I also had to ask for fresh towels.

On one of the four nights, they left me alone while my daughter-in-law went to a concert with her girlfriends and stayed overnight, my grandchildren had sleepovers, and my son went to a bar (he is a hardworking alcoholic).

When my granddaughter showed me her 8th grade graduation book, she talked about her loving family and mentioned her grandparents on her mom’s side. (They live close.)

She never once mentioned my husband or me.

Do I continue to travel all these miles for this type of abuse, or do I go only when I can afford a hotel and car rental? They seem to have busy lives and make no time for this grandma. -- I Have Feelings, Too. Dear Feelings: It’s difficult to be the grandparent who lives far away. It’s expensive to travel, so those visits are infrequent. It takes effort to maintain a close relationship, and it sounds as if your son and his wife prefer not to extend themselves, which is sad. You don’t have to travel more often than you can afford, and be sure to invite your son and his family to visit you, as well. Then find other ways to stay in touch with the grandchildren -- Facebook, email, texting, Skype, letters and phone calls. They need to know you better.

Dear Annie: I have learned that a college professor at a major university in my area uses obscenities while teaching his classes.

He screams these diatribes at the students every day during his lectures. I saw a video of one of his classes and think the university should be informed. This is not how our young people should be taught.

Should I report him to someone? Who? -Frustrated Alumnus Dear Frustrated: If you think this professor’s teaching “technique” poorly represents the university, by all means say something to the dean of his department or the president of the university. Suggest they look into his videos. But understand that it’s up to the university to determine what action is taken, if any.

Dear Annie: I am writing in response to the letter from “Loveless and Discouraged,” who went through a program for sex addiction and was discouraged that his wife still does not trust him. Good for the husband for trying to save his marriage, but I’d like to explain his wife’s side of things.

I was married for 28 years to a sex addict who tried therapy, relapsed many times and eventually gave up. I wonder whether “Loveless” realizes the intense emotional damage done to a wife who has been repeatedly lied to and cheated on. She needs more time than he expects to focus on herself and to rebuild intimacy.

Has he truly apologized? Has he tried to see this through her eyes? Has he been willing to take tests for STDs to reassure her that her health is not in danger? What is he doing to make sure this never happens again? -Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

1936 - 2013

250-426-6278

Harvey was born on January 6, 1936 in Fernie, British Columbia. He spent most of his life behind the wheel of an eighteen wheeler. He loved to fish and always talked about going up north to catch a king salmon â&#x20AC;&#x153;the big one!â&#x20AC;?

Harvey always had a story to tell or a joke to make you smile. After a short battle with cancer, Harvey passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 7, 2013 in Cranbrook, British Columbia at 77 years of age.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife Denise. He will be missed by his eight children Cathy (Ken) Currie and their five children; Terry (Debbie) Shingar and their two children; Melvin Shingar; Harv Jr. Shingar; Barry (Dale) Shingar and their three children; Susan (Steve) Beamish; Karen (Lloyd) Umpherville and their three children and Jon (Shawnna) Shingar as well as numerous friends and relatives. He was predeceased by his father Joe Shingar and his mother Abigail Shingar.

A memorial service for Harvey will be held at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook on Friday, July 19, 2013 at 2:00 pm. A private family burial service was held prior to the funeral.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com
