Tense standoff ends without harm 1,500 evacuated Large RCMP response brings distraught man into custody in Cranbrook without violence TOWNSMAN STAFF

On Thursday, members of the Cranbrook RCMP were successful in de-escalating a tense situation involving a male at a residence who was uttering threats of violence.

Cranbrook general duty members were assisted by RCMP provincial resources, including the Southeast Dis-

trict Crisis Incident Negotiators Team who were successful in having the man brought into custody without incident.

On Thursday, July 25 at about 5 p.m., Cranbrook RCMP received a call about a distraught man inside his home at the Georgian Pines manufactured home park on Standard Hill Road.

It was reported to police that the man was behaving erratically and was emotionally distraught.

The RCMP responded and were confronted by an aggressive and agitated male who refused to cooperate with police.

Members of the Cranbrook RCMP established a contain-

ment perimeter as the male allegedly uttered threats to harm others and resist police intervention.

The Cranbrook RCMP enlisted the help of a crisis negotiation team which made contact with the man.

after fuel spill

Evacuation order lifted Saturday as 35,000 litres of jet fuel make their way towards the Kootenay River C ANADIAN PRESS

WINLAW, B.C. — The smell was so overpowering that it didn’t take much to convince Lil Meloche to grab her dogs and leave her rural British Columbia home after a tanker carrying 35,000 litres of jet fuel crashed into a nearby creek.

An evacuation order issued Friday night was lifted Saturday in the

area around the small community of Lemon Creek, in the West Kootenay region of the province. Officials said about 1,500 people were affected by the evacuation at its peak, including Meloche.

“Awful smell,’’ said Meloche, 77. “That was bad... It’s gone now, though.’’

After a trial this spring, Lorne Carry and Colin Correia were found guilty of conspiring to murder a drug rival in Cranbrook and transferring weapons while Lonnie Adams was found guilty of the lesser charge of counseling murder.

The little Kootenay magazine that could Kootenay Mountain Culture and Coast Mountain Culture have landed western Canadian magazine honours

Submit ted

After 12 years of publishing a local group of magazine makers has landed an extraordinary honour — two in fact.

Kootenay Mountain Culture (KMC), based out of Nelson, has been named Magazine of The Year for BC/Yukon by the esteemed Western Magazine Awards (WMA), an organization that for the past three decades has represented all of the magazine titles throughout B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Yukon.

What’s more, KMC’s partner publication, Coast Mountain Culture (CMC), has been awarded the Best New Magazine.

“We were really honoured,” said KMC/CMC publisher Peter Moynes, who attended the 31st annual WMAs with Editorial Director Mitchell Scott and CMC editor Mike Berard last month.

“The first thing we thought of was all the

guys that the big guys have been watching.

We’ve had all kinds of kudos from all sorts of major league print and web media titles before—everyone from the National Post to National Geographic. But to have been chosen by all our peers for this, well, it’s really something extraordinary.”

KMC was up against a number of iconic Western Canadian pub-

lications including BC Business, Vancouver Magazine, Western Living and Geist.

While the honours took the KMC cohorts by surprise, the awards are more than wellearned according to well-wishers at the WMAs and Canadian magazine veterans alike.

“When I first saw a copy of KMC, I couldn’t believe how polished a product it was, nor that it had emerged from a small town in B.C., of all places,” said Calgary-based writer Kevin Brooker.

A journalist for the past 30 years, Brooker is a multiple WMA winner who contributes to publications including The Globe and Mail, Outside, Powder, ESPN and Applied Arts.

“Most of all, however, I was heartened to see that at a time when budget constraints and changing times are forcing a lot of magazines to lower print standards, replace custom photography with stock and reduce their editorial staff, KMC and CMC were forging a really sophisticated visual and literary voice,” said Brooker.

“The products go light years beyond anything that one normally encounters in the

m ou nta i n /ou td o o rs genre, or most any other genre for that matter.”

What onlookers say is most extraordinary about the KMC/CMC product, is the fact both magazines are free, relying entirely on advertising and distribution support.

Launched in 2001 as a tiny 28-page handout, and today still run from over top of Moynes’ backyard garage, Kootenay Mountain Culture (KMC) has been supported by small businesses, resorts and destination marketing organizations from throughout the West and East Kootenay and Columbia regions.

Moynes credits the magazine’s well-targeted distribution for the success, noting that the publications are essentially calling cards for the places and people the magazines’ writers and photographers tell stories about.

“We live in one of the greatest places in the world. We’re blessed.

And to be able to work with so many people in the communities all around us, and help build their businesses, we consider ourselves very fortunate. Our sincere thanks go out to everyone.”

slocan river oil spill

Tanker’s owner responsible for clean-up Continued from page 1 Meloche was returning from a shopping trip to nearby Nelson when she was stopped on the road Friday afternoon and warned an evacuation could be coming.

“I just got in, just put my groceries away and they come around telling us we were evacuated,’’ said Meloche, who uses an oxygen tank for health reasons. “I grabbed my dogs and left.’’

Meloche stayed at a friend’s home until about 9:30 p.m. Friday night, when she was allowed to return. A local state of emergency remained in place and the area medical health officer left a do-not-use water order in place for another 24-hours after the evacuation ended.

The truck that crashed into Lemon Creek, about 60 kilometres north of Castlegar, B.C., had been on its way to supply helicopters battling a nearby wildfire when it careened into the creek off a gravel road in the Slocan Valley.

The accident occurred about 5 p.m., the company advised officials around 6 p.m. and an evacuation order was issued around 9:30 p.m.

A tanker truck lies on its side in Lemon Creek, north of Nelson, having spilled 35,000 litres of jet fuel. area along the creek and the Slocan River that it feeds. That order was reduced Saturday morning and then lifted entirely.

Officials said the fuel evaporates quickly and Dr. Trevor Corneil, the medical officer of health for Interior Health, said air samples in the area were well below the limit by mid-afternoon.

“The concern with this particular type of jet fuel is direct contact with the skin can cause burning and certainly significant reaction on the skin. If one breathes significant amounts of it, it can damage the throat and the airway...,’’

“The concern with this particular type of jet fuel is direct contact with the skin can cause burning ...

If one breathes significant amounts of it, it can damage the throat and the airway” Dr. Trevor Corneil Corneil said, adding that it can also cause health problems if ingested.

No acute health problems had been re-

ported, he said.

A hazardous materials team from Vancouver was dispatched to work with other agencies and they were able to contain the remaining fuel, which moved quickly downstream from the spill site, in an area upstream of the Brilliant hydroelectric dam on the Kootenay River close to Castlegar.

While the evacuation wasn’t mandatory, emergency centres were set up in two schools in Nelson, and another in Slocan City and about 580 people checked in.

Almost all of the tanker load — 35,000 litres — spilled in the

creek. The driver suffered minor injuries, but no area residents had reported medical concerns related to the spill.

Wayne Smook, senior vice-president of airport services for the truck owner, Calgary-based Executive Flight Centre, said he hadn’t spoken to the driver but understood that the truck rolled when the shoulder of the road collapsed. He said the accident occurred between 1 and 2 p.m., and the driver had to walk several kilometres down the gravel road to seek help.

The company sent one crew to the scene

Friday night and another was en route Saturday.

“The focus now is on containment and cleanup,’’ Smook said.

An official with B.C.’s Ministry of Environment said Executive Flight Centre would be responsible for cleaning up the fuel, which is known as Jet A1.

There were no reports of fish or wildlife affected, said Rick Wagner, incident commander for the provincial emergency response team. Wagner said 90 per cent of this type of fuel evaporates within a day or two. Ministry staff conducted ambient air testing on Saturday.

“We had no detectable levels either of explosive gases or the gastype compounds on our detectors, so we were quite confident that we didn’t have any more

vapours in the area that were going to pose hazards,’’ Wagner said.

Ulli Wolf, the emergency operations director for the Regional District of Central Kootenay, said the spill was “an unprecedented exercise, conducted in the dark hours of the night.’’

But after one sleepless night, with the worst of things over, Wolf said officials were going to shut down emergency operations for the night Saturday, and reopen on Sunday morning.

Judy Derco, owner of the Lemon Creek Lodge, said a fireman came to warn them of the spill but she and her guests were not evacuated. A guest wedding unfolded on the scenic property on Saturday as planned.

“We’re just concerned about our water quality now,’’ she said.

Bullock gets case heard in Port Coquitlam Man charged over carjacking and police chase last October will have his case heard in Port Coquitlam, rather than Cranbrook

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

The man charged over a carjacking near Creston and police chase in Cranbrook last October will have his court case moved to Port Coquitlam.

Nickolas Bullock, 26, appeared in Port Coquitlam Criminal Court on Friday, July 26 and successfully petitioned to have his case, with charges in both Port Coquitlam and Cranbrook, heard in the lower mainland.

Bullock was arrested in Cranbrook on October 2, 2012, after a dramatic pursuit by a police officer ended in a residential driveway. Earlier that night, a Creston man stopped to pick up two hitchhikers between Creston and Yahk. According to the driver, when the pair entered the car, the male hitchhiker allegedly assaulted the driver and stole the vehicle.

RCMP set up a road block south of Cranbrook and an officer spotted the stolen vehicle entering Cranbrook later that evening. The

weapon, injuring the suspect. Bullock was released from hospital within a week.

Bullock was allegedly on the run from Port Coquitlam with his 17-year-old girlfriend.

The youth, who cannot be named because she is under 18, was returned to her mother’s care in Port Coquitlam pending proceedings in juvenile court.

On Friday, Cranbrook prosecutor Lynal Doerksen appeared via video to the Port Coquitlam courtroom where Bullock was appearing on 17 charges, including robbery, assault with a weapon, dangerous operation of

“This is a big deal in a small town. It’s going to hit the papers – that’s life” Judge Deirdre Pothecary a motor vehicle, and flight from a peace officer in Cranbrook.

Bullock engaged in a heated discussion with Judge Deirdre Pothecary over whether his Cranbrook charges should be moved to Port Coquitlam.

Although his lawyer, Coquitlam’s Gary Botting, was in the court room, Bullock asked the judge directly for a pub-

lication ban on the Cranbrook charges.

Judge Pothecary said he would not be granted a publication ban because the incident in Cranbrook was significant for this community.

“This is a big deal in a small town. It’s going to hit the papers – that’s life,” she said.

Bullock wants the Cranbrook charges to be dealt with by a Port Coquitlam prosecutor, but the Cranbrook prosecutor insisted that because the case has a high profile in Cranbrook, he should remain as prosecutor.

“The reason I want to remain involved is that

the case has some notoriety in the community,” said Doerksen.

He did agree, however, that Bullock’s future appearances could be held in Port Coquitlam, with Doerksen appearing via video from the Cranbrook court room.

Bullock’s lawyer Botting said that Bullock is prepared to plead guilty, however defense and prosecution do not yet agree on the facts about the case.

A sentencing hearing for Bullock is expected to be held in September.

Next week in Port Coquitlam, Botting will appear before Judge Pothecary to set a date for that hearing.

Longer jail sentence likely for Correia, Carry Continued from page 1 Beneath him was Adams, who in turn oversaw Carry and Correia. Those two administered drug dealers in the East Kootenay.

Dley said while Adams may have been part of the organization, he was not a key enough figure to be involved in plotting the murder of drug rival Doug Mahon.

“Mere association or knowledge is not enough to be part of a criminal organization.”

Adams’ lawyer is ex-

pected to argue he should be released after spending the equivalent of 5.5 years in jail awaiting the trial. Adams was awarded two-for-one credit for time awaiting trial, a practice stopped by a subsequent Conservative government law.

Despite the ruling on Adams, Dley said Carry and Correia were acting to further interests of the drug gang when they directed a police agent to kill Mahon.

That ruling supports a longer jail sentence.

“Stick it out with us, man,” Carry said in a wire recording secretly taped by the police agent, Garry Shank.

“We’ve got a lifetime gig here.”

Dley said “the actions and words of Carry and Correia was not just swagger or tough talk.

“They were serious and determined to have their plan executed.”

The sentencing hearing continues this week.

Local permaculture expert Chris Vassallo discusses the benefits of “no-dig” potatoes at a previous One World Gardening Workshop in Kimberley.

The RCMP were eventually successful in having the male exit the residence and surrender to police without incident.

The male was arrested and immediately transported to East Kootenay Regional Hospital where he was assessed for any medical needs and eventually released into police custody on Friday morning.

The 44-year-old man has since had a bail hearing and has been ordered released from police custody pending appearance in Cranbrook Provincial Court on August 12, facing four charges of uttering threats.

“The One World Garden Workshop series has been lots of fun so far, and there are still four more to come!” commented Shannon Duncan, who is coordinating the One World Garden Project.

As well as learning tricks and tips from a variety of local experts, there has been great food sponsored by the Snowdrift Café and prepared produce from the garden. For upcoming workshops, Hot Shots Café will also be offering up some of their delights and local gardens are producing abundantly so we are guaranteed more great food!

The goal of these workshops is to welcome newcomers to our community, along with increasing the amount of food grown locally. If you are new to Canada or if you have a friend or neighbour who is new to Canada, invite them along with you for an evening of garden fun.

There are written notes provided after each workshop, so don’t worry if you’ve missed the first ones.

These workshops are a great opportunity to learn more about growing food in our area, as well as mingle with people in a casual atmosphere. It’s easy to relax in the garden, and a wonderful way to meet new people. The garden provides a neutral backdrop where people relax and open up to their surroundings naturally.

They are also a great introduction to local community gardens that anyone in the community is able to access free

of cost.

These workshops are part of the Welcoming Communities initiative and are a partnership between Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy, Wildsight Kimberley Cranbrook and Cranbrook Food Action Committee, made possible through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of B.C. The next workshop, Berries, Roots, and New Shoots, is August 6 in Kimberley and August 7 in Cranbrook, from 6 to 8 p.m. The workshops are free and a light meal is included, but registration is required.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Why today, just to get away from the crowds, a person has to line up in order to possibly die on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua and Everest.

This spring, when sufficient snow had melted off the bush roads, George and I drifted up into the St Mary’s country and Angus Creek to a place that George thought he remembered. We tottered off along a ridge that bore no signs of human activity, past or present. That was a delightful way to waste a day.

Then, another day, having spotted the traffic lined up at the foot of the trail to Teepee Mountain, we wandered off to find a less cluttered area and managed to clamber through slide alder, tangled forest, avalanche felled trees and a hellish shale slope, then to reach a summit ridge where we could find a seat and eat lunch. In some ways, the descent was even worse but our eyes go all dreamy when we think of those brief minutes of that sunny, trail-less, people-less ridge.

Last week, two of us ventured up to the Lakit trail head, by-passed it, then scrambled up to the ridge and the peak above the old mine workings. I reckoned a couple of times that my doctor ought to be reprimanded by the medical authorities for not telling me that I am a silly old fool for trying such antics at my age, but I think she understands: I and my comrades of the League of Geriatric Gentry don’t have even vestiges of common sense.

living well: health tips for your whole life

Remember food safety when cooking outside Ke vin Touchet Interior Health

It’s the time of year when many of us enjoy cooking outdoors – in parks, campgrounds and back yards.

This pleasurable summer pastime of casual dining also provides ideal conditions for outbreaks of foodborne illness.

Foodborne illness peaks during the months of May through September because of barbecuing and outdoor eating.

E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter are examples of some of the many bacteria related to handling raw meats and other perishable food items.

That’s why it’s vital to be sure items are refrigerated, well cooked and handled with care.

Outdoor chefs should keep food safety in mind as they are preparing summer feasts.

These four words can help you reduce the risk: Clean: Wash your hands with soap and warm water before and after handling food. Wash all dishes, cutting boards and counters with hot soapy water.

Separate: Keep raw foods away from cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination. Store raw meat at the bottom of the fridge or cooler to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods. Always use a clean plate when taking cooked meat off the barbeque.

Cook: Properly cooking food will kill harmful bacteria. Cook all meat to the appropriate internal temperature - see Health Canada’s Safe Internal Cooking Temperatures chart (www.healthycanadians.gc.ca/eating-nutrition/safety-salubrite/cook-temperatures-cuisson-eng. php) for more details. Use a digital food

thermometer to measure the inside temperature of cooked meats. Once cooked, keep hot foods at 60ºC or hotter until ready to serve.

Chill: Always thaw meat in the fridge, microwave, or under cold running water – never at room temperature. Do not let cooked food sit out at room temperature or in the sun for more than two hours.

Cool any leftovers right away. Finally, keep cold foods cold at 4ºC or lower.

For more tips, go to Interior Health’s website for the Life Begins At 40 Degrees brochure or Health Canada’s Summer Food Safety Tips (www.healthycanadians. gc.ca/eating-nutrition/safety-salubrite/ summer-safety-salubrite-ete-eng.php).

Kevin Touchet is the Manager of Environmental Health with Interior Health.

Realize you are more than a physical body; you are a spirit of God, the God within yourself, and this is what your soul or self wants you to know and it keeps you alive and content and living in awareness.

Going inward and listening to the self is the best way to heal your spiritual wounds.

You may not like what you hear but that’s okay, it’s the truth and the truth as we all know is freedom for the self.

For example, you knew your husband was cheating on you and yet you did not confront the issue. Your intuition told you many times what he was doing but you did not listen. You did not want to do anything about it, like you don’t want to do anything about the way you are living at this time.

However, you are searching and that’s a good thing. Sooner or later you are going to have to start working on yourself again, or you can become a statistic and act like a victim for the rest of your life.

You can change any time you want the things you don’t like about you or your life.

You can change the way you are thinking and behaving by tapping into this intuition and listening to it and then pushing and moving forward and putting it into action.

This means ‘do the work, receive the blessings and learn the lessons.’

I have two classes starting in the fall.

Train with 7 tanker cars of oil derails in Lloydminster C ANADIAN PRESS

LLOYDMINSTER, Alta. — Investigators are trying to figure out what caused a train pulling tanker cars to derail in Lloydminster.

Canadian Pacific spokesman Ed Greenberg says a locomotive and seven cars carrying

oil left the tracks Friday afternoon in the city that straddles the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary.

Greenberg says the train was moving out of a rail yard at the time and wasn’t on the main line.

RCMP in Lloydminster say

nothing spilled from the cars and no evacuations were necessary.

Some diesel spilled from the locomotive but police say it was contained.

Greenberg says no one was injured and the public was never at risk.

“A full investigation is being conducted to determine what took place — not just the cause, but the circumstances that led to the cause,’’ Greenberg said Saturday.

RCMP say the investigation is being turned over to CP police.

EAST KOOTENAY SOCCER LEAGUE

GSP stands behind Rory MacDonald, says he waged ‘a great fight’ SEATTLE - Canadian welterweight Rory (Ares) MacDonald, under fire in some quarters for the manner of his UFC win Saturday, has got a vote of confidence from champion Georges St-Pierre.

MacDonald (15-1) received criticism from UFC president Dana White and others for not taking the fight to Jake (The Juggernaut) Ellenberger en route to a comfortable victory via decision.

MacDonald and trainer Firas Zahabi, who also coaches St-Pierre, both said they executed their game plan against a dangerous counter-puncher.

And that the onus was on Ellenberger to come out of his shell after MacDonald pulled ahead.

St-Pierre agreed.

“He shouldn’t care about the critics,” the champion said in a text Sunday to The Canadian Press.

“You don’t brawl with a brawler.

“It was up to Ellenberger to open up and take more risk because he was losing and he didn’t. Rory fought a great fight and even made it look relatively easy.”

Willy, Sheets combine to lead Roughriders to 32-20 road victory over Ticats GUELPH, Ont. - Backup Drew Willy threw three first-half touchdown passes while CFL rushing leader Kory Grant had a record fifth straight 100-yard game as the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 32-20 on Saturday night to remain the CFL’s only unbeaten team.

Willy made just his second career CFL start and first this season with incumbent Darian Durant nursing a foot injury. But the sophomore quarterback was 14-of-25 passing for 269 yards before an Alumni Stadium gathering of 13,002 that endured intermittent rain but nowhere near the deluge that fell during Edmonton’s 30-20 win in Hamilton’s home debut here July 7.

The Riders (5-0) also got a timely defensive stop as Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris was halted on third-and-goal from their one-yard line early in the fourth to protect a 32-20 advantage. Then Willy marched Saskatchewan 62 yards on 11 plays, taking 6:01 off the clock before the Ticats regained possession at their 15-yard line with 3:39 remaining.

After being ejected, Blue Jays’ Bautista says he’s trying to control emotions TORONTO - Jose Bautista earned a quick ejection after arguing balls and strikes, then said after the Blue Jays’ victory that he’s trying to control his emotions.

Bautista was thrown out of Sunday’s 2-1 win over the Houston Astros after arguing a called strike that led to a strikeout in the seventh inning. Bautista had barely stepped away from the batter’s box when home-plate umpire Sam Holbrook ejected him.

“I said, ‘I thought you have the biggest bleep strike zone that I’ve seen all year,’ and that was it,” Bautista said. “I was out of the game.”

Though it was just Bautista’s second ejection of the season, his propensity to argue with umpires may have earned him something of a reputation. It’s a problem the all-star outfielder has said he’s working on.

The Kinsmen squad of the East Kootenay Soccer League celebrate their playoff championship win over Mister Tire on Friday evening at the Mount Baker soccer field.

A soccer league finale for the ages TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It was a finale for the ages on Friday evening between Kinsmen and Mister Tire of the East Kootenay Soccer League.

With heroics on both sides of the pitch at Mount Baker Secondary School, the league final was decided in penalty kicks when Rob Barrett made it five goals in a row for Kinsmen, sinking his shot behind Mister Tire keeper Travis Young to win it 4-3.

Mister Tire scored four times in the shootout, giving Kinsmen the edge when their fourth shot pinged off the crossbar.

The penalty kicks wrapped up a wild game that saw the Kinsmen squad erase a two-goal deficit to tie it back up in the second half. Mister Tire pulled ahead before Kinsmen knotted it back up late in the game to force extra time.

Kinsmen pulled ahead in the 20-minute extra time, but Mister Tire answered back to force the shootout.

Ross Hartell potted a

hat trick for Mister Tire, while Jake Walmsley scored twice, and posting a goal in the shootout for the Kinsmen squad.

Mister Tire got on the board early, with Hartell’s first of the game, poking a shot by Kinsmen keeper Gary Elliot inside the 18-yard box.

They doubled the lead later in the half, when Mike Hamm deflected a ball from Chris Rushworth, who put it on net after taking a free kick deep in Kinsmen’s zone from the right side of the field.

Mister Tire was using the long ball to try and break through Kinsmen’s defence, while the redshirts kept Young busy in net, who made some key early saves on Walmsley and Joey Brons.

However, the former managed to get his first of the game before the end of the half to cut down the deficit, when he received a pass deep in Mister Tire’s zone and put a shot past Young.

Moving into the second half, Kinsmen

missed out on a glorious chance to tie it back up as some nifty work to get to the 18-yard box pulled Young out of position, however, the shot drifted wide of the net.

Though Kinsmen put a lot of pressure on Mister Tire, Elliot was still occupied in net for the redshirts. He made a diving save on a free kick 30 yards out from Hamm and also made two sharp saves on Rushworth, who broke in from the left side of the field and picked up his own rebound after putting a shot on net.

Kinsmen later tied up the game when Patrick Webb blasted a well-placed shot into the corner from the midfield.

With momentum on their side, the redshirts looked to pull ahead for the first time, but it was Mister Tire who regained the lead, when Hartell picked up a through ball and beat Elliot inside the 18-yard box.

Roller derby entertains with thrills and spills Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Memorial Arena played host to roller derby action on Saturday night, as teams from across the East Kootenay slugged it out for bragging rights in the regional roller derby league.

It was a double-header with Fernie’s Avalanche City Roller Girls taking on the Creston Black-Eyed Cherries, followed by the hometown team, the Mountain Town Maulers, challenging the Invermere Killer Rollbots.

Kimberley-based Bavarian Barbarians had a bye for the bout, however, a few familiar faces were in the Black-Eyed Cherries lineup to help the fledgling team along.

The Cherries, fielding a squad for the first time this year in the East Kootenay Roller Derby, went up a tough squad in the ACRG, who reign as the league champions from last year.

The Cherries bench had nine skaters, including a few faces that skate for the Barbarians, but they welcomed the help as the ACRG had a full team with extra bodies to hit the derby track.

By the end of the first half, the ACRG were up 126-40 on their Creston opponents.

The Roller Girls used their effective blocking and high-flying jammer

to their advantage, while Creston kept chipping away at Fernie’s lead with the deft work of their own jammer, Stroker, who has a knack for finding the open spots.

However, the Fernie squad held on to their lead by the end of the second half to win the bout 248-127.

Following a brief intermission, the Mountain Town Maulers and the Invermere Killer Rollbots then took to the track in the headlining bout.

The Rollbots, due to the skillful work of jammer Puma Thurman, jumped to an early lead, with roughly 50 points before the Maulers were able to respond. Blockers from the Rollbots also made life difficult for Maulers’ jammers K-POW, Hit E. Longstockings and Pale Fire, as the match turned into a defensive battle.

After the first half hour, the Rollbots were up 90-45 over the Maulers.

After a quick break that included a kids tricycle race and other shenanigans, the two teams were back on the track, as the Maulers looked to close the gap.

Invermere’s jammer Puma Thurman kept finding the gaps through the Maulers’ blockers, while K-POW managed to catch fire and do some damage for the Cranbrook squad.

However, the Rollbots defence was very stingy and the Maulers were unable to complete a comeback, falling 108-103 by the end of the game.

EKSL season ends with playoff final Continued from page 1 As the minutes ticked down to the end of the game, Chris Franklin tied it back up again, picking up a loose ball that broke through Mister Tire’s defence on a free kick and putting it on goal.

The two teams headed into extra time and Kinsmen got their first lead of the game a few

minutes in, when Walmsley picked up the ball from a goal kick and beat Young for his second of the game.

Elliot was busy on his end of the pitch, robbing Rushworth again, who broke in from the left side of the field, along with making a diving save on a solid strike from Hamm.

But the game seesawed back to an even score when Hartell got his head on a corner kick, deflecting it on goal in the second half of extra time.

Mister Tire scored four times in penalty kicks, with the fifth shot ricocheting off the crossbar. Kinsmen scored on all five shots to notch the win and capture the championship.

Derek Jeter is back with NY Yankees Howie Rumberg Associated Press

NEW YORK - Derek Jeter has homered on the first pitch he saw in his return to the New York Yankees’ lineup.

Batting with one out in the first, Jeter drove Matt Moore’s offering

into the stands in right-centre field for New York’s first home run in 10 games. The long ball was the first by a Yankees right-handed batter since June 25.

The 39-year-old captain was activated from the 15-day disabled list

Sunday.

Jeter sustained a Grade 1 right quadriceps strain running out a groundball July 11 in his first game back from breaking his ankle during the opener of the AL championship series last October.

For Better or Worse

dissolve a group discussion of a topic effectively. Count on your resourcefulness; you will come up with many solutions after the fact. Do not push a partner too hard about an invitation involving the two of you. Tonight: Let off steam by taking a walk.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone feels challenged by you, so be ready to take a stand.

It is not an issue of the quality of your work or ideas; rather, this person feeds off making you look foolish. Don’t worry -- others see through his or her game.

Tonight: Say “yes,” and go along with the program.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be taken aback by someone’s good fortune, which also could impact you. Understand what is expected, and deliver just that. Luck will come to you, as long as you don’t become sarcastic. If you do, you won’t believe what you could trigger. Tonight: Off to the gym.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be juggling a lot, but you can get through it. Tap into your creativity in order to eliminate what is no longer neces-

sary. Your ingenuity could save the day. Be careful with someone whose temper could trigger you over nothing. Tonight: Catch up with a loved one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will find it intuitive and natural to stay close to home.

If you have a home-based business, it will be easier. Be careful with electronic devices and machinery, as your mind might be elsewhere, and you could have an accident. Tonight: Adapt to someone else’s mood.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot on your mind. It would be wise to start sharing your thoughts with others, especially when they are relevant to them. You will feel less pressured as a result. A child could be unusually difficult, and a new flirtation might be touchy. Tonight: Pretend it is Friday night.

Rhymes with Orange

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been with “Betty” for 20 years. Last week, a repairman came to fix the phone line. On his way out, Betty followed him and said in a sexy voice, “I like bald-headed men. You come back.”

Betty didn’t know I overheard what she said until I walked in after she had picked up the phone to call her girlfriend. She then told the woman that it probably hurt my feelings.

She’s right. It hurt my feelings and made me realize she really didn’t care one whit about me. When I called her out on it, she claimed she was just being friendly.

I told her that was a little too friendly -- it was a blatant invitation for the repairman to come back to see her. Of course, she denies that’s what she intended.

Betty refuses to discuss this with me and blows up if I say anything. She has always been a real flirt, although to my knowledge, she’s never actually done anything. But I feel she should not have spoken to the repairman like that. She said she did nothing wrong. Who’s right? -- Fuming in Florida Dear Fuming: It is disrespectful for Betty to flirt with other men. However, you know she is a flirt and doesn’t follow through. We don’t think it has anything to do with her feelings for you. Flirtatious people behave this way without thought, and either minimize or don’t realize how hurtful it can be for their partners.

We know it will be difficult, but instead of turning this into an argument, we suggest you quietly and sincerely tell Betty that you love her and are committed to her, and that you know she wouldn’t behave this way if she understood how much it hurts you. (She also could get into some big trouble if she flirts with the wrong guy.) Then let it go. She will be defensive, but we hope she pays more attention in the future.

Dear Annie: A friend used Facebook to set up a raffle as a fundraiser to help a cousin who lost his wife. I donated several things and also attended the dinner held at a church facility and bought many raffle tickets. We were excited to see who the winners were, but toward the end of the event, we were informed that the drawing would be held later at someone’s home. The next day, I sent an email through Facebook to the coordinator asking whether the winning names would be shared, and she told me all winners would be notified. I have not heard another word, and a list of the winners was never posted.

Several months have passed, and I’m beginning to get suspicious. A few of the donated jewelry items were not visible the night of the raffle, and a gift certificate donated by another relative was missing. My cousin asked for a list of the winners and never received it. What do you think of this?

-- Frustrated Donor Dear Frustrated: Either the coordinator is poorly organized and hasn’t managed to do the necessary work, or she has no intention of doing so. There may be a legitimate reason why no one has been informed who the winners are, but even so, participants deserve an explanation. And there could be legal repercussions if she has kept the donated items for herself. Decide how deeply you wish to pursue this.

Dear Annie: I felt compelled to respond to “Not as Pretty as a Penny,” who needed emergency care and worried that her mother cared more about the cost.

I do medical billing and hear daily from people who did not realize that emergency room visits are so expensive. If there are acute care facilities in the area, those charges would be much less costly. Of course, an office visit to the family doctor would be the least expensive option. -- DK from SD Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Lawsuit launched against BC Hydro over smart meters Vivian Luk Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — The fight against the installation of BC Hydro’s smart meters was given a new jolt with the launch of a class-action lawsuit on Friday by a yoga instructor f ro m Saltspring Island, B.C. Nomi Davis is suing BC Hydro for installing the device last year on her property even though she refused to have one.

Court documents say Davis was concerned about the device’s high-frequency emissions, and when she asked the company to remove it, Hydro instead threatened to cut off the electrical supply.

The document said the installation of the meter, which measures power consumption, caused Davis “emotional distress,’’ because it “interfered with the quiet enjoyment of her property,’’ which she used to host yoga and meditation retreats.

The meter has “disrupted the integrity of the space as a sanctuary for meditation, peace of mind and resonant attunement,’’ the court document states.

Opponents of smart meters claim the device’s radio waves, which help transmit data to BC Hydro computers and allow consumers to monitor their energy use, have health risks.

Davis’ lawyer, David Aaron, said in a news release the home is a private domain, where owners should have control over “environmental exposures generated from one’s own domestic dwelling.’’

He alleged that BC Hydro unlawfully leveraged its “monopoly powers’’ to violate that right by imposing the smart meter on Davis.

However, BC Hydro said in a written statement it was obligated to replace Davis’ meter with a smart meter due to safety concerns.

“In the case filed today, the meter’s glass was broken and could have compromised the safe delivery of power to the customer,’’ said Greg Reimer, executive vice-president of Transmission and Distribution.

Reimer noted that

B.C.’s court of appeal and utilities commission have previously dismissed legal challengers related to the installation of smart meters.

Davis’ lawsuit demands that BC Hydro remove meters from homes where people don’t want them.

Davis indicated she wants other people who feel the same to join the lawsuit, but a judge must first approve an class-action application.

Earlier this month, B.C.’s energy minister announced that people who want to opt out of smart meter installa-

ing choices about how they manage their electricity consumption.

The B.C. Utilities Commission and the B.C. Court of Appeal have denied an effort in the past to force Hydro to stop installing smart meters.

The government and Hydro have also said smart meters only broadcast several times a day, and that living next to a smart meter for 20 years would expose a resident to the same level of radiation as a 30-minute cellphone call.

However, Citizens for Safe Technology Society, which is

tion can, but it will cost them about an extra $20 a month plus other maintenance fees.

The meters measure residents’ power consumption and then use wireless signals to beam that information back to BC Hydro, which says the new technology will make the province’s energy grid more efficient, sustainable and better able to respond to outages.

Hydro has said it has no plan to roll back its smart meter program.

B.C.’s energy ministry has said in the past the smart meters allow residents and businesses to save money by mak-

speaking on behalf of Davis, said in a news release Friday that the World Health Organization has classified microwave radiation as a possible human carcinogen.

“If I choose to avoid chemical fertilizers on my property because I think they’re unhealthy, that is my choice,’’ said Una St. Clair, executive director.

“The same goes with my exposure to smart meter radiation. In a free and pluralistic society, a possible toxin cannot be forced down anyone’s throat — or forced onto one’s property.’’
