Things are looking up in Kimberley’s downtown A lot happening in the Kimberley business community CAROLYN GRANT Kaity Brown editor@dailybulletin.ca

There is a definite feeling in Kimberley that things are getting better, and you

need look no further for proof than all the business activity and feeling of vibrancy in the downtown core, says Mayor Ron McRae. There are a number of new businesses, businesses changing hands and businesses having a great summer. The Kinbari Japanese Restaurant has re-opened under new ownership, there are new owners at the Kimberley Bakery, the Bean Tree, Nat-

ural Attractions. The empty Mark Creek Mall has new local owners who have a long list of interested, potential tenants.

Additionally, according to the census Kimberley was the fastest growing community in the East Kootenay with the population growing 8.4 per cent. McRae points to a 54 per cent growth in the population from birth to four years old as an indication that young families see Kim-

berley as a good place to be. The hotel room tax grew 8.7 percent in 2012 over 2011, which indicates more visitors coming to Kimberley. There has been a 13 per cent growth in building permit construction values and an 11 per cent growth in business licenses.

“Kimberley retains a high level of independently-owned businesses,” McRae said.

Do you know what your blood pressure is?

Most Canadians don’t – and that could be a problem, because 22 per cent of Canadians between 18 and 70 years have blood pressure that is too high. More than half of Canadians over the age of 65 have high blood pressure, or hypertension.

43 per cent of people who have high blood pressure do not know it.

Hypertension has been nicknamed the “silent killer� because for most people, there are no symptoms.

And knowing that your blood pressure is too high does not translate into better blood pressure. In fact, of the people who are aware, only one in six is receiving treatment that is working well.

with having untreated hypertension? It is a major risk factor for heart disease.

Prolonged hypertension can cause strokes, dementia, heart failure, kidney failure, poor circulation, vision changes and premature death.

And if you have diabetes, you are twice as likely to have high blood pressure as someone who does not, raising your risk of heart disease even higher.

The only way to know your blood pressure is to have it checked.

If your blood pressure is high, your doctor will probably want to check it a few times to be sure, since there are many reasons why a person’s blood pressure might be up. Even the time of day can affect a person’s blood pressure.

For some people, just having their doctor take their blood pressure can raise it – this is called “White Coat Syndrome�.

Often, self-monitoring your blood pressure in the privacy and comfort of your own home will give a more accurate picture of what your blood pressure really is.

There are also 24hour blood pressure monitors that doctors may use to diagnose or rule out hypertension.

The results can also

help determine the best time for you to take your medication.

The Cranbrook Wellness Centre is the proud owner of a new 24-hour blood pressure monitor, made possible by a generous donation from a client.

The Wellness Centre also has a Home Blood Pressure Monitor Loan Program that loans people a blood pressure monitor for a couple weeks to help provide a more complete picture of what their blood pressure really is.

This information can help physicians decide if medications are needed, or even working.

People who borrow either the 24-hour Blood Pressure Monitor or a Home Blood Pressure Monitor will also be invited to attend a blood pressure class taught by a nurse and a dietitian.

Topics covered include how to reduce blood pressure through lifestyle and diet, as well as how blood pressure medications work.

A B.C. fire ecologist is presenting an ingenuous way for communities like Cranbrook and Kimberley to pay for wildfire protection around the city boundaries Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

As Canadian municipalities struggle to deal with wildfire risk from surrounding forests, a B.C. fire ecologist has come up with a series of policies that could solve the problem.

Robert Gray spoke to the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors on Thursday, August 1, seeking support for a policy paper set to be published in an industry magazine later this year, at the behest of

Up to a 10 kilometre buffer around Cranbrook and Kimberley needs to be thinned to this degree to protect communities from wildfires, according to a policy by fire ecologist Robert Gray. the provincial government.

The policies boil down to a simple concept: municipalities should be able to decide how wide an area around each community should be kept as a fire buffer. Then, Crown land inside that buffer should be under the control of the local gov-

ernment. The community could then thin out the forest in the buffer, and sell the forest products for bio-energy.

“After numerous years of banging our heads against the wall and trying to figure this thing out, recently we have developed a concept of a Community Forest Management

Zone for wildfire hazard reduction,” explained Gray.

There are 1.7 million hectares of forest close to communities in B.C. that need to be thinned for wildfire protection, Gray said. In 2005, a UBCM program set aside $85 million for that treatment.

See Page 5

Business is beginning to boom From Page 1 “Unlike the trend in many other urban areas toward dominance of large franchises and big box stores, Kimberley retains a high number of locally owned and operated businesses.

Local ownership is more likely to benefit the community through recirculation of revenue on other goods and services, as well as take an interest in supporting community activities.”

All in all there is a vibrancy to the downtown that has been lacking in recent years, McRae says.

“There is a lot happening in Kimberley right now,” he said.

“We are in the middle of the summer season that is going very well.”

Kimberley Chamber President Darren Close echoes those sentiments.

“There is a very good amount of commercial activity right now, a significant amount,” he said.

There are also other

deals pending, Close says.

Many people have been working very hard on this revitalization of business, he says.

“The new Downtown Business Association helped identify members of the business community who are proactive, with a vision of working together to help each other out. There used to be a more competitive air to the Platzl where businesses were in competition with each other rather than aligning to help each other. The DBA identified the leaders.

“We have had great support from the City, a lot of help.”

In addition, Close says that the new Chamber focus on business has assisted.

“The new focus has helped and Mike Guarnery (the new Chamber manager) has been an outstanding addition. He is there, open, approachable, with a good mind set. He knows what the

role of the Chamber is and the way he operates is insanely positive.”

Another good indicator that the new business focus is paying off is that the Chamber membership is growing.

It has been a very good year so far, Close says.

“We had the most successful JulyFest in years. Feedback wise, participation wise, it has all been positive.

The First Saturdays are doing amazingly well.

The late Thursdays are picking up momentum. When you walk through the Platzl on a Thursday evening you can feel the vibrancy.”

“The Chamber has been really central to what’s happening,” McRae said.

And it’s not just downtown.

McRae points to the revitalization of business in Marysville as well.

Other positives in the region will assist in continuing the upward swing in Kimberley, McRae says.

For instance, the regional forestry sector is being buoyed by a recovery in the American housing market that has pushed lumber prices to multi-year highs.

Regional mining activity remains strong.

Regional mineral exploration activity has been buoyed by high metal prices and demand for coal from the Elk Valley is consistent, though slowing growth in Asia may indicate a slow down in the sector.

The Prairie provinces, a source of many visitors for Kimberley, are forecast to enjoy continued above-average economic growth over the next couple of years, though for Albertans flood recovery efforts may take priority to vacations this summer.

Growth in the American economy has been exceeding expectations recently, and a weaker Canadian dollar should make recreating in Kimberley more attractive for Americans.

REQUIEM FOR A GLACIER. The European Symphony Orchestra and UVic Orchestra Director Ajtony Csaba conducted 50 local musicians through Requiem for a Glacier, composed by Victoria Composer Paul Walde. The Requiem mourns the loss of ice to increasing global temperatures, and mourns the loss of the Commander and Farnham Glaciers in particular (where the composition was performed) to the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort development.

Thinning plan gains support From Page 4 Since then, just three per cent of those hectares has been treated, using up $80 million.

“We are running out of money, and we’ve got very little done,” said Gray.

It costs about $96 to treat one hectare for wildfire protection. That adds up to $16 billion for the entire province. Right now, local government is expected to chip in 10 per cent – that’s $1.6 billion.

The cost is so massive that treatment is happening very slowly – slow enough that trees are growing back in on property treated last decade.

“Areas we have treated in Kimberley and Cranbrook, we already have to go back and retreat them because the fuels have grown back in, it’s been so long,” said Gray.

“At some point with minimal dollars, we’re not treating any new hectares, we’re just keeping the areas we originally treated at a low hazard state.”

The solution proposed by Gray would mean that local governments generate money to pay for wildfire hazard reduction with the products of that thinning.

“If we pool all the fiber in that zone, we can reach economic maximization versus picking away at postage-stamp size treatments,” said Gray.

“If we take all the revenues from within that zone and keep it in a local account, we’ll have program dollars versus project dollars. Right now, we go from year to year and we apply for single postage-stamp size

treatments. We need program dollars where we can set a five-year development plan to treat hazardous fuels.”

The forest products that are cut down in the buffer zone can be used for heat in Cranbrook, with the surplus sold and exported.

“If we do local heating projects, Cranbrook has looked at converting 10 of the largest heat producers to wood waste. That’s about 2,000 tonnes a year – about 50 hectares.

There are about 50,000 hectares that need treatment. That’s 100 years,” said Gray.

What’s more, a collaboration of the Cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley, ?aq’am (St. Mary’s Band), the Ktunaxa Nation and the Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resources Society has signed a memorandum of understanding with U.S. Fortune 500 company SAIC to explore establishing a bio-energy industry in the East Kootenay.

“Local consumption is not going to be able to deal with the significant amount of volume that would be available with this type of approach,” said Kevin Weaver, the City of Cranbrook’s economic development officer. “The bulk of the volume is going to have to be dealt with essentially as an export product.”

Gray pointed out that when Cranbrook thinned Moir Park in 2005 at a cost of $120,000, it gave 1,100 tonnes of fiber to Tembec. If sold, that timber would have been worth $140,000.

“That would have made the project not only revenue neutral but profitable,” said Gray.

The need to protect communities from wildfire is only going to become greater, he pointed out.

“We are living in an era characterized by mega fires – these new, large catastrophic fires that are something new that we haven’t seen for quite a long time.

“The science is telling us that climate change is likely to result in longer fire seasons, bigger fires, more costly fires.

“We are facing a greater need to fire harden the landscape – basically, live with fire. We need to thin our forests and our watersheds and develop our communities in such a way that they can survive a fire. We are not in the mode now of stopping fires; we need to survive fires,” said Gray.

It’s vital that communities can determine for themselves the size of the buffer zone. Right now, a two kilometre buffer is the norm.

“Around Kimberley, a two kilometre buffer gives them about an hour and a half to evacuate 7,000 people. So we have to take our treatments way out to have some kind of effect on at least the safety aspect,” said Gray.

“Cranbrook, Kimberley, Castlegar – any communities that lie at the terminus of an east-west valley are the most at risk because our prevailing winds are west to east. There is nothing blocking a fire coming in that direction.”

Gray’s concept has been presented to the B.C. Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

B.C. aboriginal process fragile

T

he ceremonies have become common at the B.C. legislature.

Government officials and aboriginal leaders gather to celebrate resource sharing agreements that allow economic development in areas that need employment but are hampered by a century of uncertainty and dispute over treaties, or lack thereof.

This approach emerged a decade ago with forest agreements. The B.C. Liberal government bought back timber cutting licences from big forest firms and made them available for community forests and aboriginal communities who claimed the areas as their traditional territories.

Recently the approach was extended to mining revenues and water licence fees paid by private power developers.

These are substantial steps forward for the only province in Canada in treaty limbo. A 2010 sharing deal worth more than $30 million in royalties for the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine north of Prince George helped the McLeod Lake Indian Band recover from the pine beetle and forestry slump that devastated its business base.

After many years of struggle, Mount Milligan expects to go into production this year. Another agreement with Kamloops-area communities shared revenues from an expanded Afton mine.

Perhaps the most ambitious agreement

was concluded in March of this year when the government signed a deal with the Tahltan Nation for mining and hydroelectric development in remote northwestern B.C. The deal clears the way for a major extension of the BC Hydro grid to power the Tahltan village of Iskut and also the Red Chris metal mine, opening up the region to other mining and hydro potential as well.

BC VIEWS To get that deal, the province put up $20 million last Tom year to buy back Shell CanaFletcher da’s coalbed gas leases in the Klappan region, headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers.

Those leases had become a target of international protest.

Even after these expensive concessions, it would be an error to conclude that all is well between the Tahltan and the province. Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson questioned Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad on this point during the recent legislature session.

The Tahltan Central Council was pleased about shared decision-making on resource projects, until they found out that B.C. had handed the environmental assessment of a new open-pit coal mine over to the federal government. The proposed mine is in the Klappan, known around the world as the Sacred Headwaters.

Rustad said shared decision-making deals such as the Tahltan agreement do not cover activities of the B.C. Environ-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

mental Assessment Office. Whether the review of that coal mine is federal, provincial or combined, it requires extensive consultation with affected parties.

That’s great, but all that goodwill could evaporate quickly if a coal mine ends up getting a permit despite Tahltan objections.

Rustad’s Nechako Lakes constituency is also a focal point for oil and gas pipeline proposals. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year the government signed a reconciliation agreement with the Gitanyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities struggling to get through the B.C. treaty negotiation process.

That agreement included a joint landuse plan. Then the Environmental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory, to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint land-use plan has no provision for pipelines.

The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and questioning the value of their hardwon reconciliation agreement.

Resource revenue sharing agreements and shared land-use plans are well-intentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

Opinion

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor Balconies On Tuesday, July 16, 2013 a fire occurred at the Legacy II Apartments in Kelowna. It was confirmed by investigators to be caused by a barbecue on the second floor balcony. The fire spread along the outside of the building and collapsed the entire roof onto the fourth floor, causing extensive damage to the structure.

Since then the use of barbecues on balconies of apartment buildings has come under scrutiny. Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services recommends that the use of propane barbeques or other such appliances be restricted from balconies that do not have sprinklers or where combustible exterior construction exists. We feel that such devices provide an undo hazard to the occupants of the building.

Jurisdictionally there is nothing that authorizes Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services to restrict the use of barbecues and such appliances on balconies of apartments. However, the apartment owner or strata has the ability to intro-

duce and enforce such a policy, and it is our recommendation that it is a good safety practice to prohibit propane barbecues or other similar appliances on balconies in this type of construction.

Power corrupts What is it with people in power? In sports such as track and field, baseball and bicycle racing, people will do anything to win, including the use of banned enhancing drugs.

In politics we have the same mentality with robocalls, election expense scandals, senate scandals. Anything to get elected or appointed.

Lord Acton’s famous quote of the mid-1800s sums all this up: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

In sports, where are the Willie Mays, Duke Sniders, and Roger Bannisters? In politics, we need people of principles like the late Tommy Douglas,

and Tip O’Neill of Massachusetts and Speaker of the House.

Tip’s famous quote should be the norm: “All politics is local.”

Politics should be about improving the lifes of the electorate and not the politician.

We need local heroes who serve the people.

Potholes After six months of dodging potholes on the St. Mary Lake Rd., I feel compelled to express my concerns.

As a result of these enormous potholes I am now having to pay for a new tire on my vehicle in the amount of $250.

I know I am not the only resident of St. Mary Lake that is concerned about this one kilometre section of road. These holes are getting bigger by the day with increased traffic to recreate in the St. Mary Valley.

The City of Kimberley has spent lots of money on signs directing people up the valley. I think the city should spend a

few more dollars and repair these holes before someone is seriously injured.

In September the school bus will once again be travelling this road with children on board. I am concerned for their safety.

City vehicles also travel this road daily to Matthew Creek. I am sure the city would save a few dollars if this road was properly maintained.

Previous responses from the city have been that we don’t pay taxes to the City, so we are a low priority. But I would like to mention that as a resident of the valley I know I spend at least $15,000 in Kimberley for groceries, gas and other miscellaneous items. I would gladly take my business elsewhere if it is not appreciated.

There are over forty families in the valley that support the City of Kimberley so I don’t buy that response.

I would appreciate a more positive response as what the plans are for this section of St. Mary Lake Rd. Wendy Nowicki St. Mary Lake

Summer Reading Challenge

I

Nora Roberts and a beach

’m more than halfway through my Summer Reading Challenge, and I’ve settled into a routine.

During the week, I read for only an hour or so before bed.

Then on the weekend, I realize that I’m only 20 per cent through the novel, and spend every spare minute for the next two days struggling to finish it before Sunday night.

Ready in a hurry is not nearly as enjoyable as reading at a leisurely pace.

It works with the kind of books I’ve been reading over the past three weeks, which seem to be written to devour in a few sittings, but I’m tiring of that kind of summer read.

I’m ready for something with a little more meat on its bones. *** Nora Roberts’ latest bestseller, “Whiskey Beach” has something for everyone. It’s part murder mystery, part treasure hunt, part romance.

If any one of those genres doesn’t interest you, then the hectic combination will certainly draw you in as you rattle along at a rapid pace.

Eli Landon is retreating to his family’s long-held estate on the Massachusetts coast.

Bluff House has loomed above the seaside village of Whiskey Beach for centuries,

Sally MacDonald and there has always been a Landon in Bluff House.

Eli is hoping to escape the court of public opinion he has been trapped in for the past year, ever since he walked in to find his estranged wife beaten to death in their home, the same day Eli found out she was having an affair.

The police can’t prove Eli committed the murder, but they don’t have any other suspects.

To Eli, the cloud of guilt has become unbearable, and he escapes to seclusion in Whiskey Beach to mind Bluff House while his beloved grandmother recovers from a fall.

He soon meets the dazzling Abra, housekeeper, yoga instructor, cook, jewellery maker.

Eli is both fascinated by her and irritated that someone is breaking his self-imposed

exile.

When there is a series of break-ins at Bluff House, it seems like Eli’s troubles may have followed him to Whiskey Beach.

Who hired the private investigator who is sniffing around Whiskey Beach, asking questions about Eli? Does the detective know something about the break-ins at Bluff House?

Now Eli and Abra must join forces to learn who is behind the crimes, and what it has to do with a centuries-old Landon family legend.

First published in 1981, the prolific Nora Roberts now has more than 200 romance novels under her belt.

I was born in 1981; in my

Page 7

entire life I haven’t written a single romance novel. Now I feel like a failure.

Back to the point: Roberts is a pro when it comes to this kind of novel, the kind you devour and discard.

In fact, I think I’ve read a Roberts novel before, but I’ll be darned if I can remember when and which.

Still, page-turners occupy a cosy nook in my heart, and “Whiskey Beach” was no different.

With instantly likeable lead characters (who might be a little stereotyped, but who’s complaining?), you will quickly get rolled up in the story, which progresses snappily from crisis to crisis.

It was nice to read a strong female character who was independent and perfectly capable of looking after herself in a tight spot; in fact, it’s Abra who is really the “knight in shining armour” in this romance.

While it was predictable at times, corny and clichéd at other times, I still enjoyed “Whiskey Beach” for what it is.

But now, I really need to read something with substance.

Team Canada downs Finns 5-3 in world junior exhibition game TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart scored a goal as Team Canada defeated Finland 5-3 at a world junior exhibition game in Lake Placid.

Another Ice connection in the game was Finnish standout Arturri Lehkonen, who also scored a goal and was selected by Kootenay in the CHL Import Draft.

Brendan Gaunce added a goal and an assist for the Canadians, while Hunter Shinkaruk, Felix Girard and Frederik Gauthier also supplied the offence.

Tri City Americans goaltender Eric Comrie got the start, making 37 saves in the game.

Finnish scoring was provided by Lehkonen, Kasperi Kapanen and Saku Salminen, while

Juuse Saros made 31 saves in goal.

Canada will play two more exhibition games at the development camp, with a tune-up against Sweden on Thursday.

Along with Reinhart at the camp is Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill, who is working as an assistant to Team Canada bench boss Brent Sutter.

Tuck misses NY Giants practice with sore back TOM C ANAVAN Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. _ The New York Giants suddenly have added concern at defensive end.

With Jason PierrePaul still recovering from back surgery in early June, the Giants practiced Wednesday with fellow defensive

end Justin Tuck sidelined by an undisclosed back problem.

Coach Tom Coughlin did not say exactly what was wrong, adding the team will wait and see if Tuck plays in its preseason opener at Pittsburgh on Saturday night.

Backs are a touchy topic.

Jason Pierre-Paul played 16 games last season with a sore back, but never disclosed the seriousness of the injury. He had disk surgery in June and he wasn’t sure on Tuesday whether he would be ready to play in New York’s season opener at Dallas on Sept. 8.

Marlatt returns from national championship TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

On the biggest stage of his life, Rhys Marlatt competed against fellow 13-year-old swimmers from across the country at the Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships in Montreal at the end of July.

Marlatt, a member of the Cranbrook Triton Swim Club, hit the water for five events, setting personal best times in three of them.

“I like competition though, and the harder the competition, the more it drives me towards going faster.”

The young swimmer placed eighth in the 50-metre backstroke with a personal best time of 31.85 seconds and earned the same result in the 50-metre butterfly with a time of 28.80 seconds.

Marlatt also competed in the 200-metre backstroke, the 100metre backstroke and the 200metre freestyle.

“It was amazing,” said Marlatt.

“I was pretty nervous at the start, but you just get used to it and make friends.”

Marlatt was able to pick and choose his five events, with his coach, Dave Chisholm, signing him up before a deadline.

“It was interesting,” said Marlatt. “I like competition though, and the harder the competition, the more it drives me towards

Rhys Marlatt recently competed at the Canadian Age Group Swimming Championships in Montreal. going faster.

“At a lower meet, an easier meet where there isn’t as much competition, I don’t go very fast.

But when there’s a lot of competition, and really hard competition, I go a lot faster.”

It was a long road for Marlatt, who had to post three different results to satisfy the qualifying requirements in order to be eligible for the event. He posted his first two qualifying times a year ago, and squeaked in the final one at a provincial swim meet in July.

“That’s three, which is new, because last year, you only had to qualify for one time,” Marlatt said.

“Now there are a lot less kids there [at age group championships] because they made it a lot harder.” “…It was a goal I had for a long time this year. I never thought I’d actually make it, but my coach did.”

Marlatt nailed his third qualifying time at provincials even though he was in the middle of recovering from an injury to his right arm.

“Leading up to provincials, I had a lot of challenges,” said Marlatt, “so I probably would’ve trained a lot harder this year, before provincials and for nationals, but I didn’t have the chance to.”

Tate injured again, Glenn to start for Stamps DONNA SPENCER Canadian Press

CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders’ quarterback carousel has turned again, stopping on backup Kevin Glenn as the starter for Friday’s game against the undefeated Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Stampeders (4-1) emerged from their bye week with the expectation Drew Tate had overcome a strained right forearm that sidelined him for two games.

But Tate’s arm flared up again after practice earlier this week. Glenn will start against the Riders (5-0) with Bo

Levi Mitchell his backup at McMahon Stadium.

Tate left in the fourth quarter of a 36-21 road loss to Saskatchewan on July 6. He was subsequently diagnosed with a strained forearm muscle and hasn’t played since although his latest setback has been called an elbow injury.

“He’ll probably be not throwing for five, six, seven days,” Calgary head coach/GM John Hufnagel said Wednesday. “It depends on how it responds to injections.”

Tate’s string of injuries extends back to the second game of last

season when he separated his shoulder. He returned later in the year but broke a bone in his arm in a playoff game.

The 28-year-old Texan hasn’t been able to get a sustained run of starts since Hufnagel declared him the starter prior to last season.

Glenn, 34, did admirable work to get Calgary to last season’s Grey Cup game. But the emergence of Mitchell this year has further crowded the quarterback situation.

Mitchell finished a come-from-behind win against Montreal on July 20 when Glenn suf-

fered a right elbow injury.

Mitchell, 23, of Katy, Texas, then went the distance in a 37-24 victory over Winnipeg on July 27. He threw for 376 yards and three TDs and was named the CFL’s offensive player of the week.

“You always expect to go out and play great,” Mitchell said. “That’s always the mindset.

“Sometimes that doesn’t happen. Fortunately for me last time it did. Obviously it’s going to help your confidence.”

Glenn admits Calgary has a unique quarterback situation.

Pospisil advances at Rogers Cup NHL has familiar face with Bill Beacon Canadian Press

MONTREAL - Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal made successful returns to the court while Vasek Pospisil kept on a roll Wednesday at the US$3.49-million men’s Rogers Cup. Murray, in his first action since his stirring victory at Wimbledon in June, shook off some rust to down Marcel Granollers 6-4, 7-6 (2) on centre court.

Pospisil, a Vancouver resident, posted a 6-2, 6-4 second-round victory over Czech Radek Stepanek.

Two-time Rogers Cup champion Nadal was also back on court for the first time since Wimbledon, where he lost in the first round.

The Spaniard made short work of Ottawa’s Jesse Levine in a 6-2, 6-0 win.

And 19-year-old Filip Peliwo of North Vancouver fell 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 to Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan. The 2012 Wimbledon and U.S. Open junior champion had posted his first Rogers Cup win in the first round over Finland’s Jarkko Nieminen.

Canadians Frank Dancevic of Niagara

Falls, Ont., and Milos Raonic of Richmond Hill, Ont., were scheduled to play later Wednesday.

Murray won his 13th straight match, including his victories at London and Wimbledon, where be became the first men’s champion from Britain in 77 years.

On Thursday, Murray

Pospisil will have a first meeting with fifth-seeded Tomas Berdych, who ousted Alexander Dolgopolov 6-3, 6-4.

Pospisil’s No. 71 ranking will rise from this week’s performance after reaching the third round of a Masters series tournament for the first time.

will face Ernests Gulbis, who beat Fabio Fognini 6-3, 1-6, 6-1. Murray is 5-0 against Gulbis in his career.

“I was pretty nervous beforehand - that was a good sign,” said Murray.

“I’m pretty ready to move forward and not think too much about Wimbledon and concentrate on the U.S. Open.

“I think in some ways, it’s nice. I’ll probably never feel that same pressure again. That’s why I was nervous today.

That’s why I’m really happy. It wasn’t my best tennis, but the nerves were there and that’s a good sign.”

“Everything is going very well for me, indeed,” the 23-year-old said. “But this is thanks to the hard work I’ve been doing.

“It is paying off right now. Everything is falling into place. The goal I had set for myself for the end of this year was, at best, to be top 50. But later, because I had been sick (a bout of mono early in the year), I thought I could try for top 70.”

He looked to be cruising when he took a 5-2 second-set lead with his fifth service break of the match but then lost on his own serve.

He made no mistakes

on his next service game, taking all four points.

Pospisil, still heavy in the legs from a victory in a Challenger series event in Vancouver on Sunday followed by an overnight flight to Montreal, scored his first win over a top-20 opponent Tuesday when he ousted American John Isner in three difficult sets.

“My match against John maybe rates higher in terms of the moment itself, but this is the first time I ever reached the third round here, or at a Masters or anything like that,” he said.

“Just knowing that I’m improving, going in the right direction with my game gives me confidence. Things are very clear for me at the moment, so I’ll just keep working in that direction and see where that will take me.”

Pospisil was among a record five Canadians to reach the second round.

Elsewhere, qualifier Marinko Matosevic caught a break when his 10th-seeded opponent Tommy Haas retired during the first set with a shoulder injury. Matosevic will play Benoit Paire, who ousted eighth-seeded Stanislas Wawinka 6-2, 7-6 (2).

Canada into semis at U18 tournament C anadian Press

BRECLAV, Czech Republic Spencer Watson and Brayden Point scored shootout goals as Canada nipped Switzerland 4-3 on Wednesday to claim a semifinal berth at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial under-18 men’s hockey tournament.

Canada was first in the Group A standings despite finishing tied with the Swiss and Czech Republic, which beat Sweden 5-2 also Wednesday, with five points apiece. The Canadians beat the Czechs and Switzerland during the preliminary round.

The Czech Republic, which earned a 4-3 shootout win over

Switzerland during the preliminary round, took second spot.

Switzerland forced overtime with Simon Kindschi’s goal at 4:28 of the third, his second of the game.

Point, Sam Bennett and Aaron Ekblad scored in regulation for Canada, which is chasing a sixth straight tournament title.

Kevin Fiala had the other goal for Switzerland, which was outshot 41-24 by Canada in the game.

After an off-day Thursday, Canada will face Russia in semifinal action Friday. The United States takes on the Czechs in the other.

The semifinal winners meet in the tournament final Saturday.

In other action, the U.S. beat Slovakia 5-2 to cement top spot in Group B with seven points. Russia beat Finland 7-3 to finish second with six points.

Rodriguez ban appealed by players association Jay Cohen Associated Press

CHICAGO _ The Major League Baseball Players Association formally appealed Alex Rodriguez’s 211-game suspension Wednesday, sending the case to an independent arbitrator.

Union spokesman Greg Bouris confirmed the appeal and said the players’ association had

no further comment. A message was left seeking comment from Major League Baseball.

Rodriguez, who was back at third base and batting third for the New York Yankees against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night, said he had ``no reaction’’ to the filing of the grievance.

The three-time MVP was suspended through

the 2014 season on Monday when the league penalized 13 players following an investigation into Biogenesis of America, a shuttled Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.

The other 12 players accepted 50-game suspensions, but Rodriguez said he planned to

fight. Union head Michael Weiner said the punishment for the slugger was “way out of line.’’

Rodriguez’s punishment was scheduled to begin Thursday, but he is allowed to keep playing until the grievance is heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. He isn’t expected to rule until November or December at the earliest.

Stephen Walkom will leave his job as an on-ice referee to take over as senior vice-president and director of officiating, the league announced Wednesday.

It’s a familiar role for Walkom, who held the same position from 2005 to 2009.

Gregson, who joined the front office in 2005 after a 25-year career as a referee, will serve as a

consultant to the NHL on officiating matters, including the league’s participation in the 2014 Olympics.

Gregson worked 1,427 regular-season games and 158 playoff games, including appearances in eight Stanley Cup finals.

“Terry had the unique ability to expertly manage the 78-man NHL officiating team,” NHL senior vice-president Colin Campbell said in a statement. “His tireless efforts behind

the scenes to ensure that NHL officiating was the best it could be on a nightly basis were seldom recognized publicly, but we greatly appreciate his dedication to the game both on and off the ice for the past 33 years.”

Walkom, a native of North Bay, Ont., refereed 965 regular-season games and 139 playoff games. He also worked the 2002 Olympics and the 2004 World Cup of Hockey as well as four Cup finals.

Jets QB Sanchez will start in preseason opener against Lions Associated Press

CORTLAND, N.Y. Mark Sanchez was hardly surprised when he was told he was starting the New York Jets’ preseason opener at Detroit.

And, not only because he has been here longer than Geno Smith.

“You have to ask the coaches, but I feel like I’m putting together a

good camp,” Sanchez said Wednesday. “I think I earned the right to start this first game and we’ll see how it goes from there. But got to keep playing well to stay on the field, and that’s the plan.”

Being under centre when the real games start with Week 1 at home against Tampa Bay is also part of the plan.

“I mean, I just don’t think about not playing ever,” he said. “So, that really doesn’t affect the way I approach things, the way I go to practice, (or) the way I play.”

Rex Ryan and Marty Mornhinweg announced Tuesday that Sanchez got the nod over Smith because he’s the incumbent, and Mornhinweg added that Sanchez “earned it.”

Berry will handle play-calling duties for Alouettes Sean Farrell Canadian Press

MONTREAL - With all the changes the Montreal Alouettes have made recently, Anthony Calvillo still wasn’t sure Wednesday who he’d hear calling the team’s offensive plays against the Toronto Argonauts.

Montreal GM Jim Popp, the Alouettes interim head coach, made it clear former CFL head coach Doug Berry will be sending plays into Calvillo although he wasn’t exactly sure where from.

“We’re determining whether we want that direct combination of Doug and Anthony looking at each other coming off the sideline or do we keep it the same (from upstairs coach’s box),” Popp said.

“All of a sudden if we flip there’s another change so we haven’t decided that.”

daily townsman / daily bulletin

Popp will begin his third coaching stint with the Alouettes (2-3) when they host the defending Grey Cup champions Thursday night at Percival Molson Stadium. Popp replaces Dan Hawkins, who was fired after five games despite signing a threeyear contract in the off-season with the club.

Berry was hired as a special advisor to Hawkins when he unveiled his new coaching staff Feb. 19. Now Montreal’s struggling offence is in the hands of Berry, a former Alouettes offensive co-ordinator and Winnipeg head coach.

Be it from the coach’s box or the sidelines, Berry will be in constant communication with Calvillo against Toronto.

Mike Miller, who served as Hawkins’ offensive co-ordinator, will have a more focused role working with Calvillo.

Mariners rally for a 9-7 win over Blue Jays C anadian Press

SEATTLE — Humberto Quintero’s tworun homer highlighted a six-run fifth inning, and the Seattle Mariners rallied for a 9-7 victory over Toronto on Wednesday to spoil the return of Blue Jays lefthander J.A. Happ.

Happ made his first start since May 7, when he suffered a skull fracture and a sprained right knee after being struck behind the left ear by a line drive from Tampa Bay’s Desmond Jennings. Happ left the field on a stretcher, spent the night in the hospital and had three months of rehabilitation, primarily for the knee.

Presented with a 7-2 lead by the third inning, Happ couldn’t deny the fifth-inning rally, leaving with the bases loaded and no outs.

Brandon Maurer (37), who allowed eight baserunners and no runs in 3 1-3 innings, earned the win.

Happ’s day ended

when he walked Michael Morse. He was charged with seven runs and seven hits, walking two and striking out three in his 99pitch outing.

Aaron Loup (4-4) took over allowed one run on Michael Saunders’ forceout, two on Justin Smoak’s double and two on Quintero’s home run over the leftfield wall, his second.

He also had an RBI in the fourth.

Danny Farquhar worked an inning for his third save in five chances.

Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Lind hit back-to-back home runs for the Jays in the third, their 30th and 14th, respectively. It is Encarnacion’s second straight 30-homer season.

Aaron Harang went just two-plus innings, allowing seven runs and five hits. He walked three and all scored.

It was the shortest outing for Harang this season. The last time he

worked just two innings was Oct. 3, 2010, with Cincinnati against Milwaukee. He has had two career one-inning outings.

It’s the fourth time he has allowed seven runs, including his previous start, a 10-5 loss to Baltimore.

The Mariners touched Happ for two runs in the first. Leadoff batter Brad Miller dribbled a single up the third-base line. Nick Franklin followed with a RBI triple into the right-centre gap. That broke his 0-for-27 hitless drought.

Franklin came home on Kyle Seager’s rightside groundout.

The Blue Jays scored five runs in the second.

Encarnacion and Lind worked walks, and Brett

Lawrie singled through the right side, scoring Encarnacion and sending Lind to third.

Lawrie, born in nearby Langley, British Columbia, was 6 for 11 in the series and reached base eight times with a pair of RBIs. Harang walked Mark DeRosa to load the bases. Josh Thole, rushed into the starting role minutes before game time because catcher J.P. Arencibia was scratched with right knee soreness, had a two-run double into the left-field seats.

Thole reached third on a right-side groundout and Emilio Bonifacio sent him home with a left-side bunt single.

There were 14 walks issued by both teams, including a season-high nine by the Mariners staff.

NOTES: Mariners manager Eric Wedge paid a visit to the clubhouse before the game.

He has missed the past 16 games after suffering a stroke July 22. He said

he is still undergoing tests to get to full recovery and be able to handle the rigours of the job. He’s anxious to get back but there is no timetable for his return. . Both teams have an off day Thursday. Mariners acting manager Robby Thompson plans to skip Erasmo Ramirez’s start Friday to maintain a five-day routine for his other starters. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons plans to keep all five of his starters on the same rotation. ``These guys could all use the (extra) day,’’ he said. . Tests on Jays’ RHP Steve Delabar, placed on the 15day DL Sunday, revealed inflammation in his right shoulder.

Nothing serious, Gibbons said. . Plate umpire Dale Scott was hit hard on his face mask

by Jose Bautista’s foul ball in the second. He remained in the game for one inning before leaving. Todd Tichenor rotated from first in the third inning to replace him behind the plate.

Waste not, want not: everybody wins with gleaning C asey Hamilton Interior Health

I remember seeing my very first cherry tree the first summer I lived in Kelowna. It was an such an amazing sight that my eyes actually welled up with tears!

You see, cherries just happen to be on my top five list of favourite fruits.

I couldn’t believe how much fruit grew on a single tree and how lucky was I to be able to take a few steps out my door and eat such beautiful and delicious fruit!

I was even more amazed to learn that many Okanagan residents who own fruit trees do not harvest all the fruit.

I thought about how much food goes to waste in the Okanagan – hundreds of thousands of pounds.

This is very unfortunate considering there are so many people who do not have enough food to eat.

In the winter of 2011, a few other volunteers and I decided it was time to start a gleaning

project.

Gleaning is when people gather together to harvest fruits and vegetables and then donate the food to organizations that serve people in need, like the food bank.

It just made sense to have a gleaning project in the Okanagan – an area that produces so much food.

After six months of planning and hard work, the Central Okanagan Fruit Tree Project (www.okanaganfood.com/fruit-treeproject/) was born.

In our first season, we picked and donated over 5,000 pounds of produce to 15 different organizations.

Together our volunteers picked cherries, apricots, plums, grapes, apples, and even tomatoes!

It is incredible how the community has embraced the Fruit Tree Project. This year, we are on target to double the amount of fruit first donated.

We have also partnered with the Canadian Mental Health Asso-

Heroin and opioid addicts need better treatment C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A newly released report says treatment for addiction to heroin and other opioids is severely limited in Canada and the United States, despite the fact overdoses from such substances represent a leading cause of accidental deaths.

An opinion piece authored by researchers from the B.C. Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS says as many as 325,000 Canadians are either heroin addicted or de-

pendent on prescription opioids such as oxycodone. Yet the researchers say fewer than 10 per cent of those addicted receive maintenance treatment, such as methadone.

The report calls for better access to methadone and similar treatment, allowing patients to be treated in doctors’ offices rather than community clinics, mandating addiction education in medical schools, and cutting financial barriers to treatment.

ciation (CMHA), whose participants come out with us to pick fruit.

The participants love the opportunity to go out on a fruit picking adventure and take fruit home with them.

This is also a wonderful opportunity for fresh air, exercise, socialization, healthy food, and increased mental wellbeing.

The Fruit Tree Project and other gleaning projects are important additions to any community because they reduce food waste, keep wildlife out of back-

yards, and provide food for those in need.

Gleaning programs exist in several communities across the Interior Health region.

To find out if there is a gleaning program in your community, ask your local food bank, volunteer organizations, or other local food programs. Many faith organizations participate in gleaning as well.

Find out how you can share the harvest!

What is the dif ference between food allergies and food sensitivities?

The terms food allergy and sensitivity are often used interchangeably, but are actually separate responses in the body. The main difference lies in the way the immune system reacts to the foods either by an immediate (IgE) or delayed (IgG) reaction. IgE reactions or food allergies occur immediately after being exposed to the offending substance and cause a more severe anaphylactic reaction.

Food sensitivities are known as IgG or delayed reactions. IgG refers to the specific antibody that the immune system releases creating the reactions that we feel as symptoms. The interesting feature of IgG reactions is that they can occur anywhere between a few minutes to several days after the food or allergen has been introduced to the body. Also, there is a variety of symptoms that may occur including, but not limited to, abdominal pain or bloating, fatigue, mental fogginess, joint pain, skin rash or irritations and mucous formation in the nose or throat.

Canada facing blood shortage due to lack of donations Joshua Learn Canadian Press

OTTAWA — Fewer Canadians have donated blood this summer, which has led to a “concerning” shortage that has prompted the Canadian Blood Services to draw on its national reserves, the charity said Wednesday.

More than 50,000 donations are needed between now and Labour Day to meet constant demand from hospitals and keep blood inventories at acceptable levels, the group said.

A spokeswoman for the group said the period from mid-July to the end of August is usually “the biggest challenge of the year” partly because

many of their regular donors are travelling.

“We definitely need people to take action so that we can build up our national reserves at times like this,” said Veronica Magee.

She said the organization — which manages the national supply of blood and blood products — aims to have about five to eight days worth of blood units on hand as a backup.

Right now, she said, they only have about four days worth of blood and are drawing on their national reserves.

“Every summer is a challenge,” said Susan Matsumoto, the executive director of donor

and clinic services, “but this year the trend is especially concerning.”

The worst blood shortage the country has experienced in recent history was in the summer of 2008, when the group had to issue an urgent advisory.

As an effort to combat the shortage, the group has extended its Blood Signal rally until Sept. 3 as well as extending hours at its existing clinics and adding special clinics in selected locations.

Magee said it doesn’t just take one person to help another — it can take 50 donors to help one car crash victim, up to five donors to help save some-

one undergoing cardiovascular surgery and up to five donors a week to help someone undergoing cancer treatment.

“It takes so many more people to help save the life of one person,” Magee said.

About 50 per cent of the blood the organization collects nationally comes from Ontario.

Blood collected goes first to hospitals in the area where it was donated, with any extra being sent to other areas in need, Magee said.

Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics across the country, with the exception of Quebec.

There are many options when testing for food sensitivities, but at our clinic we use a blood test or elimination diet. The blood test directly measures the amount of IgG antibody that your body produces against approximately 100 different food sources.

This provides an objective measure in order to remove the offending foods from the diet and requires only a few drops of blood via finger prick, but does come at a cost. The elimination diet on the other hand, requires a conscious effort to keep many foods out of the diet for one month and then systematically re-introducing each food. While this can be a great indication of the culprits at a lower cost, it requires more effort and diligence.

We believe that a combination of blood testing and a modified elimination diet after the results are obtained is the best way to identify and remove symptoms caused by food sensitivities.

Court says Ottawa can’t hide grouse debate C ANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The Federal Court of Appeal says Ottawa can’t use cabinet secrecy to hide decisions and debate about an endangered bird.

The court says there may be an area in the dispute over sage grouse in which cabinet confidence may be invoked.

But it also says the claim of immunity was unjustifiably broad and legally tenuous.

The fight began in February 2012 when environmental groups went to court to force then-environment minister Peter Kent to issue an emergency protection order for the bird native to the southern Prairies.

Kent’s office wouldn’t say if a decision had been made and the government argued the en-

tire matter was covered by cabinet confidentiality.

Melissa Gorrie, lawyer for the environmental organization Ecojustice, said Wednesday the appeal court decision means the minister has to say whether a decision has been made.

“It also makes it clear in the (Appeal Court) decision that if he’s refusing to make a recommendation — so if his decision is not to recommend emergency protection — that decision is also reviewable by the court, that that can not be covered by cabinet confidence,” Gorrie said from Edmonton.

“That whole process has to be disclosed.”

Environmental groups had argued that the federal environment minister is

obliged to issue an emergency protection order under terms of the Species At Risk Act when a species is threatened with immediate disappearance.

The sage grouse population in southeast Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan is now measured in the dozens.

Scientists say it could disappear in Alberta this year and entirely within a decade unless habitat is protected from energy and industrial development.

The government argued that decisions around cabinet secrecy aren’t subject to legal review. It stated ministers must be able to talk about issues with their colleagues in private.

A Federal Court judge sided with the government in an earlier decision.

The Alberta Wilderness Association, the Western Canada Wilderness Committee, Nature Saskatchewan and Grasslands Naturalists pushed the case before the Federal Court of Appeal.

Writing on behalf of the Appeal Court, Justice Denis Pelletier said: “If the position asserted by the (government) is correct, it would have the effect of sheltering from review every refusal to make a recommendation for an emergency order. This cannot be so.”

A call to the office of the new federal environment minister, Leona Aglukkaq, was not immediately returned.

Gorrie said the case could drag on for months, especially if the government asks the Supreme Court to hear

Rail company files for bankrupcy C ANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — The embattled railroad at the centre of the deadly Quebec train derailment has filed for bankruptcy protection.

The Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway says it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Wednesday in the U.S. It also said its sister company in Canada — Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Canada Co. — simultaneously filed a petition in Quebec Superior Court in Montreal seeking relief under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, a step that would protect it from its creditors.

“It has become apparent that the obligations of both companies now exceed the value of their assets, including prospective insurance recoveries, as a direct result of the tragic derailment at Lac-Megantic,” Ed Burkhardt, the chairman of both companies, said in a statement.

“A process under Chapter 11 and the CCAA is the best way to ensure fairness of treatment to all in these tragic circumstances.”

Burkhardt had said a bankruptcy filing was likely because of service disruptions on its rail line that crosses through Lac-Megantic, where the downtown core was wiped out by the fiery

crash and subsequent explosions that killed 47 people on July 6.

The company also faces lawsuits and enormous cleanup costs following the disaster.

The town and the Quebec government have sent legal notices to the Maine-based railway, demanding that it reimburse Lac-Megantic nearly $8 million in environmental mop-up costs.

“MMA wishes to continue to work with the Quebec Ministry of the Environment, the municipality of Lac-Megantic, and other gov-

ernment authorities in the continuing environmental remediation and clean-up as long as is necessary, and will do everything within its capacity to achieve completion of such goal,” Burkhardt said.

The train with 72 tankers full of crude oil was unattended when it began rolling, eventually tearing into the town.

Burkhardt has blamed the train’s operator for failing to set enough handbrakes.

The railway also indicated Wednesday that, despite the court filings, all essential rail

service would continue at all stations in Maine, Vermont and Quebec, with the exception of the still-closed railroad in Lac-Megantic.

It said it hoped to reopen that portion of the rail line as soon as authorities allow it.

Burkhardt also expressed his sympathy for those affected by the disaster.

“The people of Lac-Megantic have suffered a great deal over the last month,” he said.

“We are joined in sorrow, a sorrow that will remain a part of me for the rest of my life.”

Public Notice Trespassing on Teck Metals Ltd. private land can be extremely dangerous.

Any unauthorized entry to Teck’s property in the Kimberley area, including land leased to others, the former Mine-Mill ore haulage way, Mine Site, Concentrator Site, old Fertilizer Site, internal roads and Mark Creek valley can be hazardous.

It is a contravention of the Mines Act for unauthorized persons to be on the Mine Site property.

Trespassing by anyone on Teck property is strictly prohibited. Persons who disregard fences and signs will be subject to prosecution under the Trespass Act and the Mines Act.

“Court cases are not fast-moving beasts in the best case scenario. It takes time, but when you have something like this put forward, like this claim of cabinet confidence, it really

about emergency protection right? So now this hurdle is delaying things to a point where ... by the time we actually get this heard back in federal court, there may not be any birds left in Alberta.”

brought everything to a halt,” said Gorrie.

“For us and for our clients, it really made us pull out our hair because we’re thinking here we’re dealing with such an urgent situation. We’re talking

Carly Reisig of British Columbia, was also hit once in the chest but survived.

Sgt. Uthai Dechawiwat, who was off duty at the time, had been charged with murder with intent and attempted murder with intent, but initially pleaded not guilty.

“We received an email from Foreign Affairs stating there was a court case on July 2,” Ernie Del Pinto told The Canadian Press Wednesday.

“The email stated they deleted court due to him retracting his not guilty plea to guilty on all counts.”

A message seeking comment from Foreign Affairs was not immediately returned. The reason for the change in plea was not immediately known.

The former officer had already been sentenced in 2011 to 25 years for murdering his pregnant wife.

Word of the guilty plea provided some solace for Del Pinto. He said his son was a “good

boy” who didn’t deserve to die.

“I’m not going to say all closure because my son will never come back to me,” said Del Pinto. “But I’m sure we will get a little bit of closure and justice. I was asking for justice from the beginning and it looks like I’m going to receive it.”

Del Pinto said he and his wife Clara will leave Calgary Aug. 15 to attend the official verdict and sentencing on Aug. 20 in Chiang Mai. It will be the first time they have visited Thailand since his son’s death. Del Pinto said they intend to visit the spot where he died to try and understand what happened.

He said it has been a terrible five years.

“It’s put me through hell for five years. I’m lost without my kid. He was a good boy. He did his schooling and what we asked him to,” he said.

“It was a senseless death and he saved a young girl also. It’s just so frustrating.”

Mine company opposes request on confidentialty C ANADIAN PRESS

WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — The company behind the New Prosperity mine is objecting to a proposal by an aboriginal band to hold a hearing in private with federal regulators about how the proposed site will affect ancestral graves.

Taseko Mines Ltd. says the request for a private meeting submitted by the Xeni (honey) Gwet’in last Friday is inappropriate and should have been filed earlier.

The Gwet’in say they are concerned graves near the proposed mine operations will be desecrated if their locations are made public and it wants only those who have signed a confidentiality agreement, including officials from

the company, to be able to hear their concerns.

The review panel holds hearings on the road this week as it travels to First Nations communities around the proposed gold-copper mine, located 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake.

Critics fear the billion-dollar mine will destroy culturally significant Fish Lake and they doubt Taseko’s claim that the plan has been revised and the lake will be spared.

Although the New Prosperity mine has previously failed to pass the federal environmental assessment process, the B.C. government approved it in 2010, finding that economic benefits outweigh environmental considerations.

Welcome!

NOW OPEN!

For Better or Worse

You will see how somber those around you really are. Many of you might want to leave this gloomy situation behind as soon as you can. Say “no” to a manipulative family member.

Establish your boundaries, and let others know when they cross them. Tonight: Not to be found.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your words will be heard by the right person. You might need to go the extra mile to impress a boss. You will gain his or her approval, and you’ll find that it encourages you. A key person in your life could be very controlling. Choose to walk away.

Tonight: Find your friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your take-charge attitude will be appreciated by many. Just like everyone else, you have ideas that could cause controversy. Proceed with care.

Your creativity will emerge as pressure builds. Keeping others involved is important -- you can do it! Tonight: On top of your game.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Investigate alternatives. Decide to take an overview by detaching and speaking with others

who are not involved. You will demonstrate more ability to flex and come up with dynamic solutions. An associate or friend is full of good news. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be driven by a need to change direction, but you might wonder how to do that. Use caution with your funds. What you thought was a good idea could be off. Take as few risks as possible right now. Good news will head your way. Tonight: Meet a friend for dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You often inspire others, but certain people could be extremely critical of your motivational powers. Could they be jealous? Consider that they might have the same characteristic but choose to express it in a very different way. Tonight: Make peace.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 20-year-old college student and live at home during the summer with my mom and stepdad.

The problem is, my stepdad makes me uncomfortable. He is a porn addict. He leaves girlie magazines all over the house and downloads porn on our home computer. As if that isn’t awkward enough, he is always looking at my body. He also checks out my sisters. It is so unnerving that I refuse to wear shorts around him. Worst of all, I can’t wear a swimsuit, knowing he will be gawking at me.

I can’t go a day without worrying that he is ogling me. What can I do? -- Not So Home Sweet Home Dear Not: What a charming father figure you have. Is your mother aware that her husband checks you out and makes you uncomfortable? She should know. In the meantime, spend as little time around him as possible. Don’t sunbathe in the backyard.

Go to a friend’s house or to the local pool or beach. If you catch him staring at your body, confront him directly and tell him to stop.

Also, talk to your sisters about his behavior and make sure they are OK. Don’t be afraid to speak up on their behalf.

Dear Annie: My grandma is 84 years old and still able to live independently. I spent time in her home a few years ago and discovered that she no longer showers because she is afraid of slipping. It also is too hard for her to step over the lip of the bathtub. She even bought a shower stool, but for whatever reason, she doesn’t use it. Instead, she cleans herself with a rag and soap.

Grandma has a distinct body odor that is getting progressively worse, and it’s hard to be close to her. I think she’d want to know this, but I don’t want to hurt her feelings. Is there any way to politely tell her? -- Trying To Get Granny To Shower Dear Trying: There are kind ways to tell her. Grandma likely doesn’t notice her body odor. You need to let her know, nicely, that she needs to be more thorough. You can offer to help her shower; you can contact the Visiting Nurse Association (thevnacares.org) or hire a nurse’s aide to come regularly; you can discuss the possibility of remodeling her bathroom to make it more accessible; you can look into a transfer bench that lifts her into the tub area; you can bring her to your place if it has a shower stall or even to your local health club. Also, please check to be sure her laundry is getting done. (Offer to do it for her.) Finally, your family might want to discuss with Grandma the possibility of moving into a senior facility that is set up to alleviate such limitations.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Depressed in Hiding,” the 16-year-old high school girl who is depressed and anxious and has resorted to self-harm. She is afraid to tell her parents because she believes they will hate her.

My heart goes out to her. I, too, have battled depression and was afraid to seek help.

It’s too easy to feel that no one will understand and they might even be angry. But the truth is, admitting you need help is one of the most powerful things a person can do and is the first step in getting better. People DO understand.

If she is having suicidal thoughts, I strongly suggest she ask her parents to bring her to the local emergency room, where she could be seen by someone right away. Sweetie, you are not alone! -- Sherry in Montreal Dear Sherry: We appreciate that so many of our readers wrote to support this young woman and offer words of encouragement.

To all of our Muslim readers: Happy Eid. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

New web bullying laws come to Nova Scotia Mel anie Pat ten Canadian Press

HALIFAX — Time will tell if new cyberbullying legislation in Nova Scotia will protect young people from their online tormenters, the father of Rehtaeh Parsons said Wednesday as the law came into effect.

Glen Canning said he hopes the Cyber-Safety Act sends a strong message to bullies who use social media and text messages as weapons.

“It’s only going to be as good as the people enforcing it,” said Canning in an interview.

“We’ve really got to get people on the ground taking it seriously. I think, unfortunately, it took my daughter’s death for that to happen. You just can’t ignore these issues anymore. They’re deadly issues.”

Justice Minister Ross Landry introduced the act in April after Canning’s 17-year-old daughter hanged herself at her home in Halifax.

Rehtaeh was taken off life-support a few days later.

The teen’s family has said she was bullied for months after a digital photo of her allegedly being sexually assaulted in November 2011 was passed around her school.

The new law allows people to sue if they or their children are being cyberbullied. Victims can also seek a protection order that could place restrictions on or help identify the cyberbully.

“This sends a clear message, cyberbullying is a serious act with serious consequences,” Landry said in a news release.

In the case of a lawsuit, parents of cyberbullies could be held liable for damages if the aggressor is a minor.

Making parents accountable for their children’s actions is a step that’s “long, long, long overdue,” said Canning.

“Kids aren’t getting contracts with cell-

phone companies or Internet service providers.

These are in their parents’ names and their parents should be responsible for how these are being used.”

The act also allows for the creation of an investigative unit consisting of five people dedicated to pursuing and penalizing cyberbullies, whether they’re adults or children.

Landry said the unit will be up and running in September.

Canning said he believes aggressors who hide behind computers and cellphones will be deterred by the possibility of being publicly outed as a cyberbully.

“You get the first two or three cases of this and things are going to change in a real hurry.”

Rehtaeh’s death sparked national outrage and prompted the Nova Scotia government to launch reviews of the RCMP’s original investigation into the case and the school board’s handling of the matter.

An independent review released in June concluded the Halifax Regional School Board could have done a better job, but it was hindered by the fact that Rehtaeh was often absent from class.

The report also said the Parsons family faced challenges when they turned to Nova Scotia’s mental health system for help.

Though his daughter was the catalyst for the Cyber-Safety Act, Canning said he doesn’t believe the law would have necessarily helped Rehtaeh had it been in effect two years ago.

“There was stuff in place that could have been used to help her and it just simply wasn’t because it wasn’t taken seriously enough,” he said.

“That’s what makes it different now. ... We’re in a place where we’re just not going to tolerate this kind of stuff anymore.”

The North Korean-flagged ship carrying arms from undeclared arms from Cuba was detained crossing the Panama Canal.

UN experts to visit Panama to investigate arms shipment Edith M. Lederer Associated Press

U.N. experts monitoring sanctions against North Korea will make a three-day visit to Panama next week to investigate an undeclared arms shipment from Cuba discovered in a North Korean-flagged ship detained in the Panama Canal, the chair of the sanctions committee said Wednesday.

The six-member team will present an initial report on their Aug. 13-15 visit and then a substantive report with their conclusions and recommendations, U.N. Ambassador Sylvie Lucas of Luxembourg told

reporters after a Security Council meeting.

Lucas said there has been no discussion in the sanctions committee or the Security Council on whether the shipment violated a U.N. arms embargo.

“We don’t yet have a conclusion if it is a violation or not,” she said. “The committee will only start discussing once we have the report and then see if we have a consensus on whatever conclusions they have been drawing.”

During the closed Security Council meeting, Lucas said “everybody commended Panama for the swift action and

for informing the committee and immediately inviting the committee and the panel to assist.”

The ship, Chong Chon Gang, was headed from Cuba to North Korea when it was seized in the canal July 15 based on intelligence that it may have been carrying drugs.

The manifest said it was carrying 10,000 tons of sugar, but Cuban military equipment was found beneath the sacks.

Panamanian investigators haven’t found any drugs yet but they have found live munitions.

After the seizure, Cubans

officials said the cargo included 240 metric tons of obsolete planes and missiles they were sending to North Korea to be repaired and returned. They did not mention any munitions.

South Korea’s U.N. Ambassador Kim Sook said several council members expressed appreciation for “the Cuban government’s openness — that they will not challenge the authority of the Security Council and they will be as co-operative as possible in the process of investigation.”

“We hope that their words could (be) met by deeds,” he said.

Ottawa to pay to see if consumers gain from tariff reductions C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The NDP is taking the federal government to task for spending taxpayers money to collect data on the impact of tariff cuts on specific retail goods — information it says Statistics Canada is wellequipped to gather.

The criticism comes after Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced Wednesday the government had contracted market research firm Nielsen Co. of Canada to monitor whether Canadians were reaping benefits from the removal of tariffs on certain sports equipment and baby clothes in April.

In the March budget, Flaherty said he was removing import duties on such items as

ice skates and baby clothes, both of which carry an 18 per cent tariff, on the recommendation of a Senate committee that had identified import levies as one of the causes of the price gap between the U.S. and Canada.

“This tariff relief came with the expectation that businesses would fully pass these savings on to benefit Canadian families,” Flaherty noted in Wednesday’s release.

“We have put an objective monitoring system in place and will report our findings to Canadians.”

The Nielsen contract, which the government said was competitively sourced, is for $69,777.50. The NDP said the contract could wind up

costing as much as $100,000.

“It’s also interesting that the Conservatives aren’t using the government statistical agency, Statistics Canada, to collect this sort of information,” the NDP said.

The federal agency tracks the price of a basket of goods and services monthly in order to determine the country’s inflation rate.

An official said the Finance Department would issue an explanation of why Statistics Canada was not asked to do the work.

As well, the NDP criticized the government for ignoring the impact of tariff increases on “thousands of goods” that were also part of the March budget. Those hikes came

about after the government dropped 72 nations from a category that gave them preferential treatment for their exports.

In the budget, the government estimated it would realize $333 million in revenues from the tariff increases, whereas it currently calculates the removal of duties on sports equipment and baby clothes will cost $79 million.

Nielsen is to report next August on whether the tariff writeoffs have been passed on to consumers.

Both the Retail Council of Canada and the Consumers Association of Canada are quoted as supporting the government’s plan to monitor the impact of tariff reductions.

New bird flu spreads from person to person Maria Cheng Associated Press

LONDON — Chinese scientists have found the strongest evidence yet that a new bird flu strain is sometimes able to spread from person to person, but they are emphasizing that the virus still does not transmit easily.

The strain known as H7N9 was first reported

by Chinese authorities in March. As of the end of May, there were 132 cases and 37 deaths in China and Taiwan linked to the virus.

Health officials suspect patients were most likely infected by birds in live animal markets but acknowledged sporadic cases of the virus probably were spreading among humans. Except for a single case reported last month, the infections appear to have stopped since Chinese authorities took measures to slow the virus, including shutting down live markets.

In the new study, Chinese researchers interviewed the family and close friends of a father and daughter both killed by H7N9 in eastern China to figure out how the virus might have spread between them. Both patients lived in the same household, were critically ill during the investigation and could not be interviewed.

The father, 60, was in charge of buying food for the family and bought six live quails before falling sick. His daughter, 32, rarely left the residential district where they lived and didn’t have any known contact with birds, except for two black swans raised by the property owners.

The daughter took care of her father when he became ill, without wearing any protective equipment. She fell sick several days afterward and died one month later. The bird flu viruses

There is no definitive test to prove when a virus has spread from

human-to-human, but scientists consider matching viruses and eliminating other ways the virus might have spread to be convincing evidence. Scientists also

tested 43 contacts of the two patients; none had H7N9.

“In this cluster, the virus was able to transmit from person-to-person,’’ wrote Xian Qi of

the Jiangsu Province Center for Disease Control and Prevention, who was the lead author of the study. The scientists concluded the transmission was “limited and non-sustainable.’’ The paper was published online Tuesday in the journal BMJ. “It is also notable that the transmission occurred between blood relatives,’’ said Dr. Peter Horby, a bird flu expert at Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Hanoi, Vietnam, in a statement. Horby, who was not involved in the latest study, noted there is some evidence that genetic factors may make some people more susceptible to bird flu.

In an accompanying commentary in the BMJ, experts said similar patterns had been seen with other types of bird flu, including H5N1, another feared bird flu strain that first emerged in 1996 and has since

killed millions of chickens. It has sickened more than 600 people and caused 377 deaths, mostly in Asia.

“To observe some transmission of H7N9 from human-to-human...does not necessarily indicate the virus is on course’’ to spark a pandemic, wrote James Rudge of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who is based at Mahidol University in Thailand, and Richard Coker of the National University of Singapore.

Still, Rudge and Coker noted several worrying features about H7N9, such as its ability go undetected in birds before sickening humans. They also warned officials to be on guard for a possible return of H7N9 in the winter; flu viruses typically spread more easily in cold weather.

“The threat posed by H7N9 has by no means passed,’’ they said.

Judge won’t drop murder charge Gas explosion rocks Argentine city against US faith-healing parents Marycl aire Dale Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — A judge upheld murder charges Wednesday against a fundamentalist Christian couple in their infant’s faith-healing death, saying things might be different if their toddler hadn’t died four years ago “under strikingly similar circumstances.’’

Their probation in that case required Herbert and Catherine Schaible to seek immediate medical help if another child was sick or injured. But they instead prayed over 8-monthold son Brandon before he died of pneumonia in April, according to their police statements.

Defence lawyer Bobby Hoof argued that Brandon died just three days after he came down with cold and flu symptoms and said there was no evidence of malice, as required for third-degree murder. The judge disagreed.

“They learned in the worst

possible way ... exactly what these symptoms could lead to in a child, especially a young child, if not medically cared for,’’ Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner said, referring to the 2009 death of 2-year-old Kent Schaible. “We’ve been here before ... under strikingly similar circumstances.’’

About a dozen U.S. children die each year when parents turn to faith healing instead of medicine, typically from highly treatable problems, according to experts. At least one state, Oregon, explicitly banned faith healing as a murder defence after a series of deaths.

The Schaibles are third-generation members and former teachers at the First Century Gospel Church, a small, insular congregation in northeast Philadelphia.

“We believe in divine healing, that Jesus ... died on the cross to break the devil’s power,’’ Herbert Schaible, 45, told homicide detectives after

Brandon died.

Their seven surviving children are now in foster care.

Catherine Schaible, 44, is out on bail, while her husband remains in custody. She seemed fretful in court but calm afterward, even smiling as she left the courtroom with her parents. She declined to comment. Her lawyer said plea negotiations are possible.

Kent also died of pneumonia, albeit after an illness of more than a week.

The Schaibles were convicted of involuntary manslaughter in his death and placed on 10 years of probation, which included an order to get annual checkups and medical care as needed for their children.

Brandon was deemed healthy at a newborn checkup. But Hoof acknowledged the boy didn’t see a doctor when he became ill.

“A reasonable parent probably would wait three days to take their child to a doctor,’’

said Hoof, who represents Herbert Schaible.

Lerner seemed especially troubled that Brandon had increasingly laboured breathing but still got no medical care.

He compared the current case to that of a parent who repeatedly gave a child peanut butter despite knowing of a potentially deadly allergy to it.

“How many times do you have to do that again before a child dies, and a jury can infer legal malice?’’ Lerner asked. “Is it a second time, or is that not enough? Is it a third time?’’

The Schaibles’ pastor, Nelson Clark, has said the couple lost their sons because of a “spiritual lack’’ in their lives. He has also faulted officials for trying to force his members into “the flawed medical system.’’

The case returns to court next month, and a trial could be scheduled next year. The Schaibles face 20 to 40 years in prison if convicted of third-degree murder.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A natural gas explosion wrecked a tall apartment building in the Argentine city of Rosario on Tuesday, killing at least eight people, injuring 60 and causing officials to evacuate much of the downtown. Officials said 19 people were unaccounted for.

Dozens of people were trapped for a time in the upper floors of the burning building as a plume of smoke billowed up over the country’s third-largest city. The building’s front and back facades were ripped open, exposing the shattered remains of apartments inside.

Firefighters working from above and below pulled people out of windows and off balconies as the bottom floors burned. The explosion damaged other buildings for blocks around, and fearing a collapse, police closed buildings and schools in a five-block radius.

Mayor Monica Fein confirmed the death toll and said rescuers were still looking for people in the rubble. She said 19 people were on a list of missing.

Rosario Civil Defence Chief Raul Rainone said the explosion appeared to have been caused by a gas leak in the 10-story building.

The fire took three hours to extinguish and left the building in serious danger of collapse, firefighters said.

Buildings were damaged for several blocks surrounding the blast, which sent bricks and glass and cement crashing onto the street.
