Health Centre needs electrical upgrade All health centre services were closed last week CAROLYN GRANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The Kimberley Health Centre, which houses a selection of Interior Health primary care services, some private, health-care related businesses, as well as the Kimberley Medical Associates clinic, was closed by electrical problems last week, but is now open again.

That meant anyone in Kimberley needing to see a doctor last week had to go to East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook and wait in the emergency department.

Coun. Jack Ratcliffe, who sits

on the Health Centre Society says the problem has its root in antiquated electrical equipment.

“The issue isn’t in the building, it’s in the connection material outside,” Ratcliffe said. “It’s antiquated equipment and it’s the building’s responsibility not BC Hydro’s, which we were not aware of at the time.

“The first time it went down last fall the backup generator covered it and they got it going again.

But last week it started acting up again.”

Ratcliffe says the Health Centre Society is dealing with BC Hydro now on design and costs to modernize the equipment up to current standards.

CALGARY — The Alberta government has banned logging for one year on a range used by endangered caribou northeast of Jasper National Park.

All 15 of Alberta’s caribou herds have been shrinking rapidly, mostly due to habitat destruction by energy and forestry development.

The latest move is geared at allowing range plan development that will protect critical habitat and help the caribou population recover.

It comes after the Alberta government put a hold on new energy leases in both the Little Smoky and neighbouring A la Peche ranges on the border of the park earlier this year.

“The oil and gas deferral in Little Smoky is almost symbolic be-

cause so much has already been disturbed and so much has already been leased,’’ said Carolyn Campbell, a wildlife specialist with the Alberta Wilderness Association.

“With the logging, though, that’s more than symbolic if you stop actual, on the ground logging. That’s why we’re encouraged.

“We’re seeing decisions coming out of this government that give credibility that they actually want to take some steps to actually guarantee caribou survival.’’

Campbell questions why a similar ban on logging on the A la Peche range hasn’t also been announced.

The federal government’s boreal woodland caribou strategy, finalized in October 2012, mandates that provinces develop range plans for woodland caribou

Alberta bans logging in caribou range survival.

Alberta is set to start the process for the Little Smoky and A La Peche ranges later this month.

The federal strategy states that plans must describe how critical habitat will be protected to attain a minimum of 65 per cent undisturbed habitat over time and provide a range-specific path forward for the recovery of that caribou population.

The Little Smoky range, which has 80 caribou, is the worst off in the province. At least 95 per cent of the herd’s range is already classified as heavily damaged by energy and forestry development, putting the animals in imminent danger of dying out.

“In the Little Smoky, things are very bad,’’ Campbell said. “Caribou are sensitive animals and forestry, oil

that caribou avoid being within 500 metres of any disturbed area, meaning even a narrow road cuts a one-kilometre swath through the bush.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The RCMP have reopened a missing-person case that dates back to 1960, when a 21-month-old toddler vanished from a rural area in Interior B.C. On July 3, 1960, Edna Bette-Jean Masters disappeared from a friend’s residence in the Red

Lake area, west of Kamloops.

Her disappearance prompted a massive search, but officials were unable to turn up any sign of her.

In the decades since, the RCMP have also attempted to track down a man and woman in their late 20s who were spotted in the area driv-

ing a rust-coloured Chevrolet car with Alberta plates.

The Mounties say investigators are hoping new technology and investigative techniques could produce new leads in the case.

Masters, who was known as Bette-Jean, would be 55 years old today.

Child killed in crash near Whitefish ASSOCIATED PRESS

WHITEFISH, Mon. — A six-year-old Alberta girl has died and her mother and two brothers were injured when their sport utility vehicle skidded into the path of a pickup truck in Montana.

The Montana Highway Patrol says the crash happened Sunday afternoon on U.S. Highway

93 north of Whitefish, about 100 kilometres from the border crossing at Roosville, B.C. Police says the northbound SUV, which was pulling a trailer, swerved into the southbound lane and collided with the pickup truck, which was pulling a eight-metre, fifth-wheel camper.

The SUV came to rest on its top.

Flathead County officials tell the Flathead Beacon that Krissie Lynn Shirlaw of Cochrane died at the scene.

The 30-year-old woman and her sons, ages four and eight, were hospitalized in Whitefish, while the 60-year-old Montana man who was driving the pickup was treated at a Kalispell hospital.

Changes to elk hunting season in East Kootenay

CRANBROOK - The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has announced changes to the elk hunting season in the East Kootenay.

For this fall, the elk hunting seasons in the South Trench of the Kootenay region will be as follows: * General Open Season for antlerless elk in 4-03 Zone X (includes portions of 4-2 to 4-5 and 4-20 to 4-22), Sept.

20 to Sept. 30 - CLOSED. * Senior/youth season for antlerless elk in 4-03 Zone X (includes portions of 4-2 to 4-5 and 4-20 to 4-22), Sept.

10 to Sept. 14 - CLOSED. * Senior/youth season for antlerless elk in 4-26 Zone X (includes portions of 4-25 and 4-26), Sept. 10 to Sept.

19 - CLOSED. * For a detailed map of Zone X, please consult Page 52 of the 20122014 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis at: http://www.env.gov. bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunting/regulations/ All other elk hunting seasons in the Kootenay region remain unaffected.

The elk hunting seasons were initially expanded in 2010 to help reduce crop damage in the South Trench area.

However, crop damage has persisted, despite a decrease in elk numbers. The ministry is considering a number of site-specific measures in those agricultural areas hardest hit. Local stakeholders are currently reviewing options

to ensure elk are managed sustainably and in a manner that meets the interests of all involved.

This year’s hunting season closures are guided by the Kootenay Elk Management Plan that called for a 20- to 40-per-cent reduction to local elk populations.

Elk populations now have been reduced 35 per cent, and lowering the elk harvest is now needed to maintain elk numbers at the management target agreed to in the plan, and to avoid continued population declines.

Population surveys conducted in January 2013 estimate there are 7,509 elk in the South Trench area. The 2008 population for elk in the South Trench was estimated at 11,580.

Home based business regulations set to change The Regional District of East Kootenay is drafting bylaws that will loosen the types of home based businesses allowed in rural areas Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Kaity Brown photos

It was a busy day Saturday as Arts on the Edge celebrated the arts in Kimberley. With live music, plenty for the kids to do and some outdoor and indoor Platzl shopping, the Fest went off without a hitch.

Despite fierce opposition by some of its members, the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors is proceeding with plans to change home-based business regulations.

On Friday, August 2, the board voted nine to six in favour of drafting bylaws that would change the types of home based businesses allowed in the regional district outside municipalities.

Directors Wayne Stetski and Bob Whetham of Cranbrook, and Lois Halko of Sparwood, were the most outspoken against the proposed regulations. There were joined in their vote against the changes by Directors Dean McKerracher of Elkford, Gerry Wilkie of Area G (north of Radium) and Ute Juras of Canal Flats.

The Regional District of East Kootenay has been preparing draft regulations for both major and minor home based businesses in rural areas.

There will be two categories of home based business, depending on

where the home is located. Minor home based business – such as child care or a bed and breakfast – will be allowed throughout the region, but major home based business – a portable sawmill, woodworking business, trade contracting and metal working – would only be permitted in parts of electoral areas A (around Sparwood) and C (around Cranbrook). In Area C, major home based business would be approved on a site-by-site basis.

Businesses in the regional district outside of municipalities are not required to have a business licence, but zoning and land use bylaws regulate things like the number of employees, the maximum business area, the number of commercial vehicles and what retail products are available for sale.

It’s the major home-based business category that is causing concern for municipal directors.

“This bylaw is a significant departure from the rural – urban delineation,” said Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski.

“To start turning rural areas into business areas is absolutely wrong.”

Cranbrook Councillor Bob Whetham said that allowing industrial businesses in rural areas is “a big step backward”.

“This is not going to create harmony in rural areas,” he said. “I think we are getting away from the principles of planning and getting into things that cannot be properly regulated.

Fairmont favourites suffer elimination

Couple bows out of Amazing Race

By Dan Walton Pioneer Staff

The home team is no more. After racing around three provinces and two territories, Kristen Idiens and Darren Trapp from Fairmont Hot Springs were eliminated from The Amazing Race Canada on Monday (August 8th) evening.

The tragedy began innocently enough.

Kristen and Darren began the fourth stretch of the reality program in Calgary, where they boarded a flight to the Northwest Territories. A polar plunge awaited one member of each team, and Darren volunteered to endure the frigid water.

“Darren spends lots of time in glacier water with his whitewater rafting and it happened so fast he didn’t notice the cold,” Kristen told The Pioneer.

From there, they were directed to a small town in the Yukon, again travelling by plane. Poor directions resulted in their late ar-

rival at the airport, and Kristen and Darren were forced to board the last of three flights.

Upon arrival in the Yukon, only two other teams were still in a position to be defeated.

One of those teams comprised of sisters, Vanessa and Celina, who from the beginning were never considered a threat by any of the competition. In episode three, Kristen and Darren had given the sisters an express pass — a piece of gameplay that allows a team to bypass a time-consuming challenge. Their strategy in sharing the express pass was to help Vanessa and Celina qualify for the next round, knocking out a more competitive team. Unfortunately, in the end, Kristen and Darren happened to be that team. The sisters used the express pass in the Yukon, which left Kristen and Darren toeto-toe with just one other team, Jody and Cory. A foot race ensued, and the other team had a short lead, which left Kristen and Darren in seventh position, eliminating them from the show.

“We had far greater

“We had hoped to win but there are so many factors that play into this race.”

Given the opportunity to go back in time, Kristen said she wouldn’t have given the express pass away.

“We would have still been in the race at this point, so it’s a hard lesson to learn.”

Tire recycling Summer Ambassadors to kick off eighth annual province-wide tour Vancouver, BC (August 12, 2013) – With environmental conversation now at the forefront, the British Columbia Used Oil Management Association (BCUOMA), in partnership with Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC), is proud to announce the launch of the

freeze, but also scrap tires.

WHEN: Tuesday, August 13th WHERE: Return collection facilities and tire retailers across Kimberley Increase collection rates for used oil, used antifreeze and scrap tires in order to minimize contamination of the environment through education and communication outreach at B.C.’s return collection facilities and tire retailer locations.

BCUOMA is a not-forprofit organization responsible for the implementation of a province-wide recovery and recycling system for used oil, antifreeze, and their respective filters and containers. BCUOMA is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of recycling these waste materials. For more information about BCUOMA and a listing of collection facilities across the province, please visit www.usedoilrecycling. com

Although they won’t be continuing on The Amazing Race Canada, Kristen and Darren do hope to be back on reality television.

“We are pursuing the development of our own reality show based on the establishment of a sustainable community… with entertaining community members and the relationships that develop along the

way,” she said.

And because of their first place finish at the end of the first leg of the race, the couple will be enjoying a trip to Sydney, Australia, and hope to make a pit stop in New Zealand. The series continues on Monday, August 12th with episode five airing at 9 p.m. on CTV.

RDEK board disagrees on changes From Page 3 “If we open the door, we are looking for problems.”

Stetski and Whetham both pointed out that in parts of Area C where Cranbrook provides fire services, the fire department may not be able to fight fires on industrial properties because of a lack of hydrants.

“We can try to deal with residential fires but if we’re getting into industrial use, we’re not equipped to do that,” said Whetham.

Area A director Mike Sosnowksi, whose constituents are around Fernie and Sparwood, is the main proponent of the regulations.

“The other directors make it sound like a big bad wolf but it isn’t,” he said.

“It’s important that rural people get the opportunity to support themselves on their property.

“It’s mostly for individuals that are loggers or who have small trucking companies or backyard mechanical – that

they are allowed to keep the businesses that they presently have by making them legal.”

Now that the regulations have been approved by the board, regional district staff will draft a set of bylaws.

These bylaws will come back to the board for first and second reading before proceeding to public hearing.

Stetski implored the public to provide feedback about the homebased business regulations once they are up for consultation.

“I think this is one of the most important issues that has come before the board while I’ve been here,” he said.

“I really encourage everybody in Area C and Area A and in the cities surrounded by those areas to take an interest in the public hearings, to come and let your voice be heard in terms of who you would like to see as your future neighbour and how viable your cities are if this bylaw is approved.”

Lightning activity sparks multiple fires in Kootenays CASTLEGAR – The Wildfire Management Branch responded to 40 lightning-caused wildfires in the Southeast Fire Centre over the weekend.

The majority of these fires are small and none are threatening structures or communities.

In the most active part of the fire centre, the Columbia Fire Zone, 16 wildfires are burning. All of them are small, spotsized fires in remote areas. The largest of these is estimated at 10 hect-

ares and is burning east of Highway 1 in the Jumping Creek area, approximately 35 kilometres northeast of Revelstoke.

Smoke may be visible in the region today, since wind is carrying smoke north from multiple large wildfires in Idaho.

The Fire Danger Rating is mainly “moderate” to “high” throughout the Southeast Fire Centre with the exception of the Cranbrook Fire Zone, which is “low” to “moderate”.

As of Aug. 12, 176 wildfires have burned 296 hectares in the Southeast Fire Centre. Of those fires, 141 were caused by lightning and the rest were caused by people. The five-year average for the number of wildfires by this time of year is 181 fires.

While there is currently no campfire ban in the Southeast Fire Centre, it is important that the public remain diligent and practise proper campfire safety. Never leave a campfire

unattended and always extinguish it completely before leaving the area.

The Wildfire Management Branch appreciates the public’s help in reporting smoke or wildfires. They can call 1 800 663-5555 or *5555 on a cell phone to submit a report.

Health Centre needs electrical upgrade From Page 1 “Once we pay for the upgrade, BC Hydro will take it over.”

The motion to authorize the upgrade was expected to pass Council last night.

“We have no choice, we can’t operate this way,” Ratcliffe said.

The Kimberley Health Centre, formerly the Kimberley and District Hospital, is owned by the City of Kimberley and operated

by the Kimberley Health Centre Society. The City took possession of the building after the hospital was closed by Interior Health in 2002.

Opinion/Events

Another round of liquor reforms

T

he B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol.

Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence.

Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adults-only.

A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the produce and preserves.

Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and so-

cial policy organizations and First Nations in the fall.

A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off.

Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry. The sudden death of a 16-yearold on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus.

BC Views Open liquor isn’t allowed Tom in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event liFletcher cence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat.

Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner?

Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mail-order wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit.

There are a couple of reasons why this

Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition.

Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine.

The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry.

The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union.

There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales.

Creating healthy attachment in children

E

arly attachment is a reciprocal relationship between a child and caregiver and creates a lifelong imprint on a child’s future. Unlike bonding which is the adult’s connection with a child, attachment is the deep and enduring relationship that varies with each parent, grandparent, or other caregiver.

September brings new beginnings as children enter new daycares or play school settings, start kindergarten or enter new classrooms or new schools. Children entering daycare or kindergarten leave behind previous routines, and the strong attachments formed with parents and caregivers.

Summer break brings more time than usual with family members and strengthens attachment relationships that are already present. Nonetheless children entering new learning environments adjust to new ways of being in the world and will build attachment relationships with new daycare staff, educators, and school staff.

Many children have to work harder to stay attuned to the world around them. As they enter new learning environments the world moves quickly as they try to keep up with day to day changes. The adult’s role throughout these changing times is to help the child feel loved, accepted, safe, and protected. This can seem like a hard thing to accomplish when your child is somewhere else for several hours each day.

Here are some easy, inexpensive steps to help children maintain successful attachments as they enter new beginnings.

• Before your son or daughter goes off to school for the first time initiate an annual special event such as taking a photo of your child on their first day of school or planting a tree or perennial in honour of your child.

• Create a small photo book with pictures and a story of how your child is transitioning from home or daycare to their new learning environment with photos of home or daycare, the new play school and caregivers, teachers, principal and support staff.

• Talk to your child about their first day of school or daycare and the feelings that they had.

• Send a photo of your family and pets for your son or daughter to look at throughout the day.

• Practice the routine of walking or driving the route your child will be taking to their new learning environment.

• If your son or daughter will take a school bus, drive the

route ahead of time so your child becomes familiar with the sites and houses that they will pass by.

• Introduce your child to the bus driver or to neighbour children who will be on the same bus.

• Start a morning wake-up routine such as a cuddle before getting ready for the day.

• Have some protein for breakfast and provide a lunch packed with protein to help your child’s body/brain get through the day.

• If your son or daughter will be in the breakfast and lunch programs at school ensure they know where the programs are held at school and who the program co-ordinator is.

• Draw a funny face or “X’s” = kisses and “O’s” = hugs, to show your child you are still thinking of them even though they are away from you.

• For those children who can read, you can leave a note in their backpack letting them know what supper will be or what family event is happening that evening.

• For children who will be eating their meals at the daycare or play school check with the care centre to see if you can

send a special plate, cup or bowl to the new environment so there is something familiar from home.

• Create special school snacks such as small pieces of cheese, soy nuts, or pepperoni slices that your child only gets at school. This special surprise will help them feel connected to their home environment.

• Set time aside at supper to talk about their day. Share “the best thing of the day” and “the worst thing of the day” for each member of the family. Brainstorm ways to do things differently which shows children that issues can be resolved.

• Turn off video games and television an hour before bed to allow children time to decompress and relax their nervous system before going to sleep.

• Allow children to have some alone time with you before they go to bed. This might include helping them get clothes ready for the next day.

Your child’s day is full of learning. Quiet time before bed will help your son or daughter relax and prepare for the next day of adventure and new learning.

All change on the internet

E

dward Snowden is safe from American “justice” for the moment, and he will certainly go down as the most effective whistle-blower in history. His revelations are going to cause a wholesale restructuring of the world’s most important communications system, the internet. And that, rather than his whereabouts and fate, is now the real story.

On August 8, Lavabit, a US-based email service provider that promised to keep its clients’ communications private, closed down. The US National Security Agency approached it about six weeks ago demanding the same access to its customers’ emails that it has already extorted from big American internet companies like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Amazon and Microsoft.

The company’s owner, Ladar Levison, is under an NSA gag order, but he wrote to his clients: “I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people, or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit. I would strongly recommend against anyone trusting their private data to a company with physical ties to the United States.”

The mass surveillance being carried out by the NSA not only gives the US government access to everything Americans say to one another. It also destroys everybody else’s privacy, because the standard Internet routing protocol sends messages not by the shortest route, but by whichever route is fastest and least congested. That means, in most cases, through the United States, and therefore straight into the

hands of the NSA. Snowden’s revelations so far have told us about two major NSA surveillance programmes, both probably illegal even under American law. The first collects the mobile phone records of over 200 million Americans.

Don’t worry your pretty head about that, darling, said Senator Dianne Feinstein, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee: “This is just metadata, there is no content involved.” The NSA isn’t actually listening to your calls.

Well, OF COURSE it isn’t listening to billions of calls. Machines can’t listen to calls, and who has the manpower to do it with human beings? But machines can quickly use the call logs (metadata) to identify everybody you ever talked to, and everybody they ever talked to, and so on out to the fourth or fifth generation.

If one of those thousands of people ever Gwynne spoke to somebody Dyer abroad with a Muslim name (or somebody who works for Siemens, or Samsung, or some other industrial competitor of the United States), they may take an interest in you. If you’re an American who has never had direct phone contact with anybody abroad, they may then apply to access the content of your calls and emails under the Prism programme.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court which reviews such applications has refused precisely ten of them (out of 20,919) since 2001. Besides, the content of most Americans’ messages can probably be examined without recourse to the judg-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

es under one of the blanket authorisations issued by FISC. And if you’re not American, or an American resident who once spoke to somebody abroad by phone, then you’re in a free-fire zone.

If you are American, you probably don’t care about that, because you are mesmerised by the guff about a huge terrorist threat that the security barons use to justify the endless expansion of their empire (now almost a million employees). A recent opinion poll by the Pew Research Centre found that 62 percent of Americans think “fighting terrorism” is more important than worrying about personal privacy.

But if you belong to the great majority of internet users who are not American, are not in a perpetual sweaty panic about “terrorism”, and have no protection whatever under American law from the NSA’s spying, then you will want ways to avoid it. So the market, or other governments, will such create ways.

What’s needed is a big investment in internet switching capacity in countries where the spies are not completely out of control. Then non-Americans can just join one of the many servers that will spring up to meet an exploding demand for secure internet services.

As Jennifer Granick, director of civil liberties at the Stanford Law School’s Center for Internet and Society, put it recently: “America invented the Internet, and our Internet companies are dominant around the world. But the U.S. government, in its rush to spy on everybody, may end up killing our most productive industry.”

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITERS

Nitros identify talent for upcoming main camp TREVOR CRAWLEY Sports Editor

The usual suspects and even a few familiar names were out on the ice this weekend.

However, they were joined by a crop of fresh young faces looking to make and impression.

The Kimberley Dynamiters wrapped up their summer identification camp on Sunday, as 69 skaters ended a weekend filled with practices, drills and scrimmages to showcase their talent to the new management brass.

A few alumni such as Cory Allen, Rylan Duley and Senate Patton were mixed in with some returnees such as Jared Marchi, Dallin Wolf and Eric Buckley.

Some of the younger guns like Jason Richer and Tyson Klingspohn, who are coming off their rookie years last year with the Dynamiters, were also on the camp rosters.

Watching from the stands at Western Financial Place, was head coach Jerry Bancks and general manager Rocky Allen, while the assistant coaches ran scrimmages from the bench on Saturday and Sunday.

“It went extremely

well. I liked the compete level out there, it was fairly physical—more so than I thought it would be—I thought it was good,” said Bancks.

“I saw lots of players who showed us lots of good things and it wasn’t hard to find 40 to invite back to main camp.”

“I was really, really impressed with the attitudes of the returning players.

They provided great leadership. They had the kids out leading the warmup before games and it was awesome.”

Jerry Bancks Bancks heaped praise on the Dynamiters executive for their part in organizing the camp.

“I think we did a great job of showcasing what the Kimberley Dynamiters are all about. I thought it was extremely well run,” he said.

Those 40 skaters chosen by Bancks and his colleagues, which also

include returnees from last year, will have the chance to crack the roster at main camp at the end of August.

“I was really, really impressed with the attitudes of the returning players,” said Bancks.

“They provided great leadership. They had the kids out leading the warmup before games and it was awesome.”

A few local kids will have the chance to get their foot into the KIJHL after spending their budding careers playing high level Midget hockey.

Marco Campanella, who played with the Cranbrook Midget Tier 2 Ice in the South Central Alberta Hockey League last season, was also an affiliate player (AP) with the Nitros.

He wore the Dynamiters crest for one game and wants to get in more this season.

“I found it was good,” said Campanella, of his only game in the KIJHL. “It was a lot faster, bigger players, but I felt like I could fit in there and felt like I could skate with them.”

Campanella led the Cranbrook Ice in points last year, with 13 goals and 20 assists in 30

Players showcased their skills at a summer identification camp hosted by the Kimberley Dynamiters at Western Financial Place this weekend. games, despite battling a few injuries.

Tristan Pagura is another local player who could be playing with the team, however, he has a few options available to him.

Pagura, a defenceman, was drafted by the Kelowna Rockets in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft, and will be attending the team’s train-

ing camp at the end of August.

“They got a lot of D so I’m trying to make an impression at least, so if they don’t want me this year, at least they can look at me for next year,” said Pagura.

If things don’t work out in Kelowna, he will also get a chance to crack the roster with the BCHL’s Trail Smoke Eat-

Athletics rally in ninth to post 5-1 win over Blue Jays L ARRY MILLSON Canadian Press

TORONTO - J.A. Happ gave the Toronto Blue Jays everything but a win Monday afternoon.

Alberto Callaspo doubled in two runs in a four-run ninth inning to power the Oakland Athletics past Toronto 5-1 at Rogers Centre.

The win gave the A’s (67-50) three-of-four against the Jays (5464).

The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for Happ, who is also mourning the loss of his grandfather. Happ allowed three hits, two walks and one run while striking out six over seven innings in his second start since being hit in the head by a line drive May 7 at Tropicana Field.

“I definitely had a heavy heart,” Happ said. “I tried to use it.

“I probably had a little bit of a different attitude, a little different outlook given the past few days. But I felt good and be glad to get with the family this week.”

Happ was put on the three-day bereavement list after the game. The only run he surrendered came on the first hitter he faced as Chris Young belted his 10th homer this season and fifth by Oakland to lead off a game.

After walking Young to lead off the third, Happ retired 14 consecutive batters until Callaspo hit his first double of the game with two out in the seventh.

“It’s definitely something to build off,”

Happ said. “I think that aggressiveness, a little more carefree maybe in my delivery in just trying to be aggressive in the zone was a good things for me and that’s usually when I have better results.

“So I’ll definitely try to continue that.”

Toronto manager John Gibbons had nothing but praise for his starter.

“He was great,” Gibbons said. “He started out a little slow but I think Callaspo that first at-bat he hit a groove.

“Before that he was scattering a little bit.

But then everything fell in line.”

Happ fanned Callaspo in the second after giving up a single and walk to open the inning.

Happ got the start Monday because righthander Josh Johnson had his outing pushed to Wednesday. That was to give Johnson a couple of extra days of rest after experiencing stiffness in his right forearm.

“He was on today,” A’s designated-hitter Josh Donaldson said of Happ. “I came in and looked at some of my video. I had one pitch over the plate and it was the very first pitch.

“After that, it was corner, corner, corner, mixing speeds. As a hitter, it’s kind of frustrating because you want

to be able to get a pitch to hit and he just wouldn’t give it to you.”

Oakland righthander Dan Straily held Toronto to six hits and one run over 7 1/3 innings. Reliever Ryan Cook (5-2) pitched two-thirds of an inning for the win.

“He was probably as good as we’ve seen him all year,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “Efficient, strikes, deep in the game.

“He was aggressive with his fastball and he had a really good slider.

He mixed in just enough changeups and a couple of curveballs.”

Callaspo, obtained July 30 from the Los Angeles Angels, also snapped a tie in the A’s 6-4 win Sunday with a two-run double in the eighth.

ers.

Pagura made the jump from Midget AA in the South Central league to the B.C. Major Midget League last season, where he was based out of Nelson.

“Our team wasn’t that great, but the league’s really good,” said Pagura. “We play against a lot of top players, like the first overall

picks and all those guys, so it was good to play against them.

“I got more adjusted to the speed, going from AA in Cranbrook to that.”

There are a few weeks to go until the Dynamiters host their main camp at the Kimberley Civic Centre, which will take place on the final weekend of August.

Raonic, Pospisil rise in ATP rankings after Rogers Cup CINCINNATI, Ohio - Milos Raonic is the first Canadian men’s singles player to be ranked in the top 10, thanks to his run to the final of the Rogers Cup. The star player from Thornhill, Ont., who lost to Rafael Nadal in Sunday’s final in Montreal, is No. 10 in the new ATP rankings released Monday.

He moved up three spots from No. 13, his previous career high.

Vasek Pospisil of Vernon, B.C., who lost to Raonic in the Rogers Cup semifinals, rose 31 spots to No. 40 to reach his career high.

QMJHL prospect dies after collapsing during training BATHURST, N.B. - A 16-year-old prospect for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan junior hockey team has died while skating during a training session with the club.

The New Brunswick team says Jordan Boyd collapsed on the ice and was taken to hospital.

The release says the team’s medical team tried to revive the boy several times while he was on the ice.

The club also says Boyd had a medical evaluation before training camp and didn’t appear to have any medical problems that prevented him from participating.

An autopsy has been ordered.

Welcome!

NOW OPEN!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your intensity cannot be hidden.

Even if another party has a one- or two-sentence conversation with you, your fervency and passion come through. Confusion might arise easily. The more you try to clarify, the more chaos seems to arise. Tonight: Togetherness works.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have a subtle yet strong manner that marks your conversations and actions. Others know when you are serious. Confusion marks a money matter. Tonight: Defer to another person’s suggestion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You know the toll of pushing others too hard, and once more you see the impact of this behavior. A close associate gives you the cold shoulder. Push comes to shove when you deal with another person whom you care about.

This person has an attitude that demands calls, gifts and other tokens of affection too often. Tonight: Know when to quit working.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are the poster child for transparency. You cannot help but show your feelings. Caring seems to flow. A friend or associate will bend more than usual, but this might not always be the case.

Have an important discussion.

Tonight: Paint the town red.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be taken aback by another person’s suggestion. In a sense you might find this person a bit intrusive, probably because his or her perception hits close to home. A partner doesn’t know how to respond to your upset and thoughts. Tonight: Order in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Conversations are lively, even if they are somewhat stilted. You might not know what to say. A neighbor or a close relative gets an attitude at one of the worst moments possible. Invite others to join you for a fun happening, maybe this Friday. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You cannot have a say in every matter, though you might like to.

You see a series of events as a con-

For Better or Worse

tinuum. With this perspective, you might not pay attention to some important details, which could be critical. Pressure builds, as a boss or a parent wants your attention.

Tonight: Leave the day behind and join a friend for a drink and munchies.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You seem to be very centered and know which way to go. Others will follow your lead and indirectly give you support. Stop and take time to see the big picture before making a decision. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take your time thinking about an impending change. You see a potential issue involving funds.

You tend to be less positive than a partner, yet you have more insight into the negatives. For this reason, you are generally more prepared.

Confusion surrounds a conversation. Tonight: Let go of concerns for an evening.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Aim for exactly what you want.

Listen to news and consider how you want to use the information.

You demonstrate the ability to

integrate different elements into a successful, winning proposition. Others respond positively to your direction. Tonight: Find your friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be aware of your limitations with a friend or loved one. Listen to news more openly, and make decisions accordingly. Honor a change that seems necessary.

Trust in your resilience to get around a difficulty. You are on top of your game, even if you feel a little insecure. Tonight: Others follow your lead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Listen to news with a grain of salt.

You are hearing information that until now has not been shared.

Your ingenuity takes this information and funnels it appropriately to create a winning situation.

Trust in your ability to grasp deeper concepts. Tonight: Let your mind wander, and follow its lead (within reason!).

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: It is back-to-school time for millions of young people. I am an instructor at a community college and would like to offer some suggestions to make the registration process smoother for students.

1. See the school counselor at least two weeks before registration. If you wait until registration week, the counselors will be extremely busy.

2. College is not free. Scholarships and grants must be applied for months in advance, not the day of registration. If you do not have the paperwork in your hand, be prepared to pay. The payout plan offered by my school must be linked to a credit card or bank account. Check with the school ahead of time to be sure you have the required information for checks or credit cards. My school requires about seven pieces of information. You will need separate checks for the bookstore and tuition.

3. Only the student should go to registration. Do not take parents, grandparents, siblings, children or friends. Small children have unplugged my computer and vomited in my office. “Helicopter” parents have been some of our worst headaches. They make nasty comments about the cost of tuition and books, over which I have no control, and it embarrasses their kids.

4. Read all of the signs with directions and instructions. I am the last step of the registration process, and I usually have to send 15 percent of the kids back through the long line because they missed a step.

5. Turn off your cellphone. I need your full attention to complete a multistep process to ensure that you have your schedule, your funds get processed and you have the proper receipts.

Go to the first day of class even if you have not paid. That is when instructors go over expectations and explain assignments. Some even lecture. I want my students to be successful. Come see me in my office, even if only to say hello. I am here to help. -- Lou Ann Everett, Trinity Valley Community College, Terrell, Texas Dear Lou Ann Everett: Thank you for your helpful advice for students, especially incoming freshmen. We hope they pay attention.

Dear Annie: My wife and daughter (age 33) don’t get along. There is history between them from when our daughter was an adolescent. For the past few years, they have gotten along better, but I always sensed a dark cloud on the horizon.

We visited our daughter last week. Everything went well until the day before we left.

My wife made some offhand comment, my daughter overreacted, and it went downhill from there. They are not talking to each other now.

My wife tends to be hypercritical, and my daughter doesn’t know how to deal with it. I try to play peacemaker, but I don’t like being in the middle, and neither of them listens to me. Any ideas? -- Caught in the Middle Dear Caught: If your wife and daughter truly wish to change this dysfunctional pattern, it likely will require professional counseling to figure out how to behave in a more productive way. You can suggest it, but otherwise, we recommend you stay out of the middle and maintain these relationships individually.

Dear Annie: “Open but Lost” had an open marriage, and you astutely asked whether her husband really wanted it.

My wife wanted an open marriage based on advice received from her support group.

I agreed reluctantly. I painfully experienced having to hear phone calls from her suitors.

The bottom line was that I experienced a total loss of trust and commitment, and it finally led to our divorce. Years later, my ex apologized to me for what she had done and asked for my forgiveness. I’ve been happily married to my second wife for 21 years. My ex is on her fourth marriage. -- Not the Thing To Do Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Our classified ads are on the net! Check it out at www.bcclassified.com

Damen, Riley, Caydants, Atlin & Hailey Featherling are glad spring has Ă&#x2026;nally arri^ed

Velma loved her family more than anything and surrounded herself at home with their pictures.

Every time the family was together, we had to take yet another family photo. Velma loved her garden, especially her roses, and loved her many pets. She loved to learn and enjoyed learning to work her computer; she would learn how to fix her computer then call on her grandsons to come help her fix her fixes. Velma kept track of family and friends on Facebook and she would always report our family activities back to dad. She enjoyed time with all her friends, and all her extended family; the in-laws and the outlaws. Velma loved her trips with her friends across the line and enjoyed a little luck at the casino.

Nothing brought the family together like watching her favourite team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Velma is survived by her loving husband of 54 years Ken, her four children Mike (Veronica), Carrie (Ian), Tracy (Terry) and Jim (Leslie); her 11 grandchildren David, Cindy (Josh), Spencer, Cody, Brandon, Steven, Kevin, Amanda, Brandon (Cheryl), Jessica and Kasey; seven great grandchildren Tyler, Brady, Evan, Carter, Ashlynn, Amara and Isaac; her two brothers Ernie and Dale Harrison and her sister Della Armstrong.

There will be a Celebration Of Velmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life on Saturday, August 17, 2013 at 1:00 pm at the home of Ken and Velma McKay. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the: Heart & Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon, Okanagan/Kootenays Area Office, #4, 1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9 or the: East Kootenay S.P.C.A., PO Box 2, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 4H6.

Many thanks to the first responders and paramedics and to everyone for all your love and support. All of your kind thoughts and gestures are greatly appreciated.

BCDaily Obituaries McKENZIE, Gladys 1917-2013

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, August 6, 2013, Gladys McKenzie passed away peacefully at the Kimberley Special Care Home at the age of 95 years. Gladys was born on December 6, 1917 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, one of five siblings born to William and Mary Hay. Gladys was the last surviving member of her family. She passed away at almost exactly five months to the day of her husband, Ken McKenzie.

Gladys viewed her family as her first and foremost responsibility. She was a stay at home mom and raised her family with pride. She and her husband Ken loved to fish and camp and Gladys was as avid at fishing as Dad. They spent many hours together on the lakes in the area. They truly did everything together and loved each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. Gladysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two grandsons played hockey with the Kimberley Junior Dynamiters and she was an avid fan. She would never miss a game if she could help it. Mom loved to knit and crochet and we all have gifts of her handiwork to cherish.

Gladys married Ken McKenzie on August 25, 1945 in Kimberley. Their marriage was blessed with two children; Rick and Heather.

Left to cherish her memory are her two children Rick (Gerri) and Heather (Robert); five grandchildren Kim (Jason), Russ (Shelley), Melanie (Lee), Nicholas and Kent (Rebecca); three great grandchildren Kaitlyne (Bob), Brad and Kallie and one great, great granddaughter, Harlow, who was Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;little ray of sunshineâ&#x20AC;?. Also left are her extended family Jen, Allison, Trevor, Andrew and their children Taylor, Zavin, River, Vann, Noah and Kubrick. Gladys was predeceased by one sister, Thelma and three brothers, Walter, George and Albert as well as her parents, William and Mary Hay. A very special thank-you to the staff of Garden View Village and the Kimberley Special Care Home for their loving care of Mom. In honour of Gladys and Ken, there will be a Celebration of their Life held at the Kimberley Special Care Home, 386 - 2nd Ave., Kimberley on Friday, August 16, 2013 from 1:00 to 4:00pm in the Pines Daybreak Room. Memorial donations may be made in Gladysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; memory to the Pines Memorial & Development Society c/o Bev Banks, 372 108th Avenue, Kimberley B.C. VIA 1C6. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

New bone find suggests Neanderthals were more advanced than previously thought Sar ah Dilorenzo Associated Press

PARIS — Researchers have found what they say are specialized bone tools made by Neanderthals in Europe thousands of years before modern humans are thought to have arrived to share such skills, a discovery that suggests modern man’s distant cousins were more advanced than previously believed.

In a paper published online Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers discuss their discovery of four fragments of bone in southwestern France that they say were used as lissoirs, or smoothers, to make animal hides tougher and more water-resistant.

The researchers believe the oldest tool is 51,000 years old, while the other three are between 42,000 and 47,000 years old. Similar tools are still used by leather workers to this day.

Until now, scientists have believed that modern humans taught the Neanderthals how to make the tools, but

modern humans are only believed to have reached central and western Europe 42,000 years ago.

The researchers say the discovery provides the first evidence that Neanderthals may have independently made specialized bone tools — that is, tools that could only be made from bone. Other early Neanderthal bone tools were simply replicas of their stone tools.

The find adds to an evolving understanding that these distant cousins weren’t perhaps the brutes they have come to represent in popular culture — but also confirms that there is still much we don’t know about them.

“It’s adding to a growing body of research, that’s growing quite rapidly at the moment, that’s showing that Neanderthals are capable and did produce tools ... in a way that is much more similar to modern humans than we thought even a couple of years ago,’’ said Rachel Wood, an archaeologist and researcher in radiocarbon

Shannon P. McPherron, one of the archaeologists involved in the dig and an author of the article, said it’s possible that other Neanderthal dig sites contain similar

tools. However, since they were probably used until the tips broke off — leaving a fragment just a few centimetres long, as was the case with three of the tools found — they would be difficult to spot.

“It’s like looking at pencil leads,’’ he said, expressing hope the find would fuel more discoveries. “Once you sort of get the pattern, it’s a lot easier to spot them.’’

McPherron even held out the possibility that Neanderthals were the ones who showed modern humans how to make lissoirs, although modern humans clearly started making specialized bone tools on their own.

“It’s pretty rare that you hear that argument, so it’s nice to hear it,’’ said Wood, who noted that mostly researchers talk about modern humans influencing Neanderthals.

Even though the age of the tools suggested Neanderthals began making them on their own, McPherron, of Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, and his co-authors didn’t rule out the possibility that they did adopt this technology from modern humans. But that would mean modern humans entered Europe much earlier than thought.

Scientists have recently begun to ask new questions about whether and for how long Neanderthals and modern humans co-existed.

While the two groups were long thought to have intermingled and even interbred for thousands of years in Europe, a study published earlier this year suggested that Neanderthals went extinct in their last European refuge much earlier than previously thought, as long as 50,000 years ago — thousands of years before modern humans were thought to have arrived.

“Our find could indicate that there was a long period of interaction, where modern humans came into Europe and sent ripples through the pond, and then maybe withdrew and then came back again,’’ McPherron said.

In this courtroom sketch, James “Whitey” Bulger, right, listens to his defensive attorney, J.W. Carney Jr., during closing arguments at U.S. District Court, in Boston, Monday, Aug. 5, 2013.

Boston gangster ‘Whitey’ Bulger found guilty of gangland crimes ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — James “Whitey’’ Bulger, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the most-wanted fugitives in the U.S., was convicted Monday in a string of 11 killings and other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant.

Bulger, 83, stood silently and showed no reaction upon hearing the verdict, which brought to a close a case that exposed corruption inside the Boston FBI and an overly cozy relationship with its underworld snitches.

Bulger was charged primarily with racketeering, which listed 33 criminal acts — among them, 19 murders that he allegedly helped orchestrate or carried out himself during the 1970s and ‘80s while he led the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s ruthless Irish mob. The racketeering charge also included acts of extortion, conspiracy, money-laundering and drug dealing.

After 4 1/2 days of deliberations, the jury decided he took part in 11 of those murders, along with nearly all the other crimes, as well as a laundry list of other counts, including possession of machine-guns.

Bulger could get life in prison at sentencing Nov. 13. But given his age, even a modest term could amount to a life sentence for the slightly stooped, white-bearded Bulger. His attorney said Bulger would appeal.

One woman in the gallery taunted Bulger as he was being led away, apparently imitating machine-gun fire as she yelled: “Rat-a-tat-tat, Whitey!’’

Patricia Donahue wept as the verdict was read, saying it was a relief to see Bulger convicted in the murder of her husband, Michael Donahue, who authorities say was an innocent victim who died in a hail of gunfire while giving a ride to an FBI informant marked for death by Bulger.

During the two-month trial, federal prosecutors portrayed him as a cold-blooded, hands-on boss who killed anyone he saw as a threat, along with innocent people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then, according to testimony, he would go off and take a

nap while his underlings handled the cleanup.

Bulger, the model for Jack Nicholson’s sinister crime boss in the 2006 Martin Scorsese movie “The Departed,’’ was seen for years as a kind of benevolent tough guy who bought Thanksgiving turkeys for fellow residents of working-class South Boston and kept hard drugs out of the neighbourhood. But that image was shattered when authorities started digging up bodies.

“This is not some Robin Hood story about a guy who kept angel dust and heroin out of Southie,’’ prosecutor Fred Wyshak told the jury in closing arguments.

Bulger skipped town in 1994 after being tipped off — by a retired FBI agent, John Connolly, it turned out — that he was about to be indicted.

During 16 years on the run, Bulger was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list. He was finally captured in 2011 in Santa Monica, California, where he had been living in a rent-controlled apartment near the beach with his longtime girlfriend, Catherine Greig. She was sentenced to eight years in prison for helping Bulger evade the law.

Bulger’s younger brother, William Bulger, who rose to become one of the most powerful politicians in Massachusetts as state Senate president, was forced to resign as president of the University of Massachusetts system in 2003 after he testified before a congressional committee investigating the FBI’s ties to his brother and acknowledged receiving a call from him after he fled Boston.

Whitey Bulger’s disappearance proved a major embarrassment to the FBI when it came out at court hearings and trials that Bulger had been an informant from 1975 to 1990, feeding the bureau information on the rival New England Mafia as well as members of his own gang while he continued to kill and intimidate.

Those proceedings also revealed that Bulger and his gang paid off several FBI agents and state and Boston police officers, dispensing Christmas envelopes of cash and cases of fine wine to get information on search warrants, wiretaps and investigations and stay one step ahead of the law.
