Delay for east entrance project

Council puts off funding a roadside pullout at Cranbrook’s east entrance ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Lola and Jeza Baher decorate “Protodoe” at the Artrageous Gallery in Cranbrook on Saturday, Aug. 10. Protodoe is the Cranbrook and District Arts Council’s submission to the Urban Artsy Deer project. The gallery was open Aug. 10 and 11 for the Columbia Basin Culture Tour. See more on Page 3.

City council decided to pull back on a roadside pullout proposal put forward by the Highway 3/95 Revitalization Committee. The committee recommended giving the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) the go-ahead to develop a new highway pullout at the east entrance of town, near the welcome sign.

MOTI has $80,000 set aside for the pullout, but

would leave the rest up to the city to pay – which city staff estimated could be as high as $200,000 to $300,000.

Coun. Bob Whetham doubted the city was ready to do a project like this.

“As much as I’d like to see entrance improvements on the eastern approach to Cranbrook, I really question whether we have the wherewithal to do it at this time,” Whetham said.

Arts council takes part in culture tour

Mike Buckley’s band Locomotive Ghost will join Good Ol’ Goats for Sept. 7 show at the Stage Door Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

Cranbrook and District Arts Council (CDAC) celebrated the 2013 Columbia Basin Culture Tour Aug. 10 and 11.

To celebrate the Columbia Basin Culture Tour, where museums, galleries and artists open their studios to the public for free, the CDAC extended its opening hours on Saturday and Sunday.

Over the weekend, visitors to the gallery contributed to the interactive exhibit ‘Protodoe’. Part of the ongoing Urban Artsy Deer project, ‘Protodoe’ is the CDAC’s very own contribution to the project. Not only that, she was the first deer cut for the cause, hence the ‘Proto’ in ‘Protodoe’. Despite the mechanical name, visitors to the gallery embraced ‘Protodoe’s’ feminine side by decorating her using paper, paint markers, oil pastels, crayons and glue to give her lady-like flourishes, including dangly earrings and a floral bouquet.

Visitors to the gallery were treated to free nibbles and refreshments. After all, decorating such a fashionable doe takes a lot out of a creative spirit.

CDAC president and artist Mitchell Pocha brought a work-in-progress to the gallery space to work on throughout the day. He invited young and old art enthusiasts alike to help contribute to his polymer sculpture and answered questions about his tools and process.

Thank you to all the visitors who visited the gallery over the weekend of the tour and contributed to ‘Protodoe’, who will continue to be added to in the CDAC gallery space up until Art in the Park. You will be able to see the collaborative effort in Rotary Park on August 24; she’s anxious to see who will win best in show!

Currently there are a few doe left to purchase and decorate from the CDAC office if you would still like to be in the running for a chance to win a prize. Completed deer must find their way to Rotary Park before 1 p.m. on August 24 in order to be eligible for judging, so don’t miss your chance.

Deer Quest forms are also still available from the office. You still have time to try and find all of the registered deer in Cranbrook in the shortest space of time for the chance to win $50 and bragging rights.

Contact Helen Duckworth at the arts council at 250-426-4223 or email cdac@shaw.ca.

A band with Kootenay roots will be coming to town to play in September. That band is Locomotive Ghost, who will be playing a show with Cranbrook’s the Good Ol’ Goats on September 7.

Locomotive Ghost member Mike Buckley is from Cranbrook. It will be his first time playing here in a number of years.

“So we’re excited to have a sort of homecoming show,” Buckley said. “We’re playing the same bill with the Good Ol’ Goats. We’ve never played with or met them before, but we were actually in the same CBC Searchlight contest. We didn’t make it as far; we made it to the regional southern Alberta finals.”

But through that contest, Locomotive Ghost became aware of them.

“We just thought, if we’re going to play a show in Cranbrook, those would be the number-one guys to play with,” he said.

“We’re really excited to share the show with them.”

The show is happening at the Stage Door and Buckley said it’s also the band’s first theatre style show.

“Up until now we’ve

played hundreds of bars and cafes, and some less traditional venues in the past year or so. We started doing some community events and stuff in Calgary, but never ever made it into an actual theatre, so we’re pretty excited.”

Buckley and fellow band member Ben Nixon studied music at Selkirk College in Nelson and moved to Calgary about two and a half years ago.

The band is now based out of Calgary and delves into many musical styles.

“Generally speaking it’s folk rock; we’ve been calling it modern folk groove recently.” Buckley said. “Between the four of us, we have quite a broad array of musical influences and backgrounds.”

He said as the project has moved along it has become a lot more of a collaboration between the band members.

“When we began, it was mostly myself writing the majority of the songs, but now it has sort of become a shared responsibility to all contribute to the creation of the songs,” he said.

The band all has day jobs but is touring western Canada to promote a seasonal project.

“We’re halfway through that. We’ve released Spring and Summer.

Autumn will be released on October 19.”

The EPs squeeze about six or seven minutes on each side, so Buckley said they’ve managed to get four songs on each.

“Each season we approached intentionally, writing a different style of music to evoke the feeling of the given season,” he said. “The Spring album is probably more folk and country influenced, whereas the Summer album is a little more pop. The upcoming Autumn record is a little more on the heavy side, with a lot

more electric guitars and some synth, just a little more modern sounding, I’d say. The Winter one is our attempt at writing out an orchestral album.”

The show is Saturday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m at the Studio/Stage Door.

It’s $20 and tickets are pre-purchase only at www.locomotiveghost. com.

“The funding support from the ministry would be very attractive, but what would our contribution have to be at this point? And where would we find the funds to do it? So as much as I’d like to see it, I don’t think I can support it.”

Coun. Diana J. Scott didn’t support the recommendation either.

“I’d love to see a new sign, but I certainly have a lot of concerns about a new pullout,” she said, noting that the Chamber of Commerce is just a couple of blocks away. “In the end it’s monetary as well. It’s nice to know the ministry would give us some

funds for this, but I don’t think we’re at this point yet and I think we need to do a lot more thinking before we consider something like this.”

Coun.

Denise Pallesen agreed with the other councillors.

“It’s not in our current five-year planning, though MOTI does have some funds,” Pallesen said. “It’s exactly one kilometre from that sign to where the chamber would be offering a duplicate service.”

She suggested seeing if MOTI would put some funding into the area behind Lordco, near the chamber.

RDEK Public Hearing Notice Bylaw 2479

Bylaw Amendment - Mayook The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) Board of Directors is considering an application

by Daniel Brian May and Mike and Davianna Haslam to amend the Fort Steele – Bull River Land Use Bylaw.

Bylaw No. 2479 cited as “Regional District of East Kootenay – Fort Steele – Bull River Land Use Bylaw No. 1804, 2005 – Amendment Bylaw No. 14, 2013 (Mayook / May & Haslam)” will amend the land use designation of Part of the subject properties from RR-16, Rural Residential (Extensive) Zone to RR-8, Rural Residential (Country) Zone.

A public hearing will be held at:

Regional District of East Kootenay 19 – 24th Avenue South Cranbrook, BC Thursday, August 22, 2013 at 4:00 pm

The Board has delegated the holding of this hearing to Directors for Electoral Area C and the City of Cranbrook.

If you believe that your interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw, you may prior to the hearing: • inspect the Bylaw and supporting information at the RDEK office in Cranbrook from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays; • mail, fax or email written submissions to the addresses/numbers shown below; or • present written and/or verbal submissions at the hearing.

lem with us replacing our sign, but I think it’s nice looking, it’s always neat and tidy, the grass is always mowed,” she said. “I would rather see more funds put into the chamber at some point if there is an appetite to expand on the east entrance.”

Coun. Sharon Cross suggested that since this is outside city boundaries, and if MOTI wanted to move ahead, maybe the RDEK would fund the pullout.

Mayor Wayne Stetski noted that the city wouldn’t likely have the money to do the project right away.

“I think we’ll have a discussion when this comes to the 2014 budget as to whether this is something we want to pursue or not,” Stetski said.

He explained that the committee went and looked at the area and decided that having a highway pulloff at that location would be a good idea.

“They are talking about a picnic area, signage – a ‘Welcome to Cranbrook’ sign – but it would be run basically as a highway pulloff,” Stetski said. “They (MOTI) have money to contribute towards highway pulloffs in their budget, but that’s it.”

He said the committee had put thought into expanding the truck stop safety area just up the road, but MOTI replied that it’s illegal to turn left across the double solid line, so in order to make the pullout there, they would have to build something similar to the Gladstone Provincial Park turnoff at Christina Lake.

“You have to come in off the highway, around and back in,” he said.

“Those are very expensive options.”

The mayor said he thought the pullout at the sign is a good concept, but said the city doesn’t have the money to do it now.

The recommended motion was defeated, but the mayor put forward another motion to defer any decisions to the 2014 budget discussions, which passed.

Wasa accident sent three to hospital C AROLYN GR ANT Kimberley Daily Bulletin

The accident near Wasa on Tuesday, August 13 sent a total of three people — one from Wasa and two from Invermere — to hospital.

One of those, a woman from Invermere, who was the female passenger in the minivan, was airlifted by STARS air ambulance to Calgary from the scene with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries.

She had been trapped in her vehicle and was extricated by the Kimberley Fire Department road rescue unit.

The other two people involved in the accident were taken to East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook by ambulance.

Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP said the accident occurred just before 10 a.m.

“On scene investigation found a one-ton dump truck pulled onto the highway from the village of Wasa and proceeded north,” Newel said. “A northbound vehicle (minivan) came up on the truck several hundred meters north of the intersection and struck the rear left corner, forcing it into the ditch.”

Newel says East Kootenay Traffic Services is conducting the investigation and a Collision Reconstructionist has done a forensic scene examination.

Highway 93/95 was closed briefly as emergency personnel dealt with the accident.

Casino workers to negotiate contract Continued from page 1 “We’re thrilled to welcome these new members from St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino into the BCGEU. With a union on their side, these members know they will have the support they need to

get the wages, job security and respect that they deserve,” said BCGEU president Darryl Walker.

Next, St. Eugene staff will elect a negotiating committee, develop bargaining priorities

and sit down for contract talks with their employer.

There are more than 1,200 casino workers in the BCGEU, including Gateway casinos in the Okanagan, Burnaby, and New Westminster.

Grand Forks mystery marks three-year anniversary Submitted

Three years after Owen Kiernan Rooney disappeared, his family and the RCMP continue their efforts in the search and are once again requesting the public’s assistance.

His family has devoted their time, energy and life savings in trying to locate Owen or determine where he may have headed. He was last seen at the Grand Forks Hospital on August 14, 2010, when he mysteriously vanished.

Prior to his disappearance, Owen attended the Shambhala Music Festival near Salmo.

The event was just held once more over the weekend of August 3 to 8, 2010.

Owen’s family, along with the RCMP, are asking once again for the public’s help, particularly those who attended the event, in garnering new tips and leads to locating Owen or where he may have gone.

The RCMP and Rooney family will continue to work together and share the goal of finding Owen.

Owen is 5’9” (175 cm) in height and is 161 lbs (73 kg).

He has blue eyes, short brown hair and has two tattoos. One is on his left shoulder blade, about three inches across, of a circle with a Celtic star around it.

The other tattoo is on his right calf, a logo of a triangle with a kangaroo inside and the words “Australian Made” underneath. This calf tattoo is about the size of the bottom of a coffee mug.

Anyone with information regarding Owen’s whereabouts or any details on his disappearance, however insignificant the information may be, are asked to contact the Grand Forks RCMP at 250-442-8288, their local police service, Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or through the website that the family Top: Owen Rooney.

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE

The Great Gatsby’s little sister

A

fter the hectic pace I’ve set over the past few weeks of my reading challenge, I ground to a halt this

week.

I was worn down by the quick summer reads I had chosen for the past month or so, and leery to pick up another book.

In fact, I took a few days off, which was a mistake because when I finally did pick up “The Rules of Civility”, it required far more attention to each passage than I have needed to pay to books recently.

So my Sunday deadline slipped past, and I found myself writing this review on the edge of deadline. I suspect I will be doing that for the rest of the challenge now – which is far less enjoyable. *** “The Rules of Civility” by Amor Towles is like “The Great Gatsby”’s little sister. A little less poetic, a little more innocent, and set in the opulent high rises of Manhattan’s Upper East Side rather than the mansions of Long Island. Yet its themes, its morals and its voice is strikingly similar.

It is, of course, lavish praise to compare the debut work from modern-day New York author Towles to F. Scott Fitz-

SALLY MACDONALD gerald’s great American classic.

Let me take a moment to justify that praise.

After a “proletariat” New York upbringing, Katey Kontent sees 1938 begin with her gregarious roommate Eve Ross in a dive jazz bar, trying to make three dollars stretch as far as it possibly can. In walks a well groomed young man in an expensive coat; Eve whispers “dibbs” as Tinker Grey sits down beside them.

They quickly form a friendship, and the connection is cemented just a few days into the new year when the three are in a car accident that leaves Eve permanently scarred.

To carry the Gatsby comparison forward, Tinker is Gatsby, Eve is Daisy and Katey is Nick.

Over the heady days of 1938, the three friends come in and

out of each other’s life. The relationships between the three are at once loving, self-destructive, uplifting and surprising.

There are far too many beautifully crafted, flawed but interesting characters to mention. Each one has a profound impact on Katey, who as narrator somehow manages to be both cynical and full of wonder.

In a single year, these characters – with Tinker and Eve at the forefront – influence Katey’s life in drastic ways. She is a profoundly different woman at the conclusion of the year than at the commencement.

And that’s saying nothing about the events in Tinker and Eve’s lives. In fact, the prologue of the novel has Katey at a photography exhibition in the 1960s, where photos taken on the subway in the late 1930s are displayed. She happens upon two photos of Tinker: one in 1938, at the tail end of the Depression, where he is wellgroomed and wealthy but world-weary; and one in 1939, where he is poor, dirty, underweight, yet bright, alert and smiling.

The tale is set in the opulent apartments and dining rooms of Manhattan, where the “rules of civility” are played out at every table. This setting also harkens back to Gatsby, espe-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

cially when Katey travels to Long Island for a party.

But it’s Katey’s assessment of the people who inhabit this scene that reminded me the most of Gatsby’s Nick Carraway – the incorruptible force that observes the best and worst of human nature.

“To the unpracticed eye they all looked of a piece – exhibiting poise secured by the alchemy of wealth and station.

But aspiration and envy, disloyalty and lust – these too were presumably on display, if only one knew where to look.”

Circumstances bring those around Katey to a fever pitch, only to self-combust and transform into a truer version of themselves.

With such heavy literary influences, Towles could hardly go wrong. But he does more than simply mimic Fitzgerald; he creates another world just as rich, just as beautiful, just as profound.

His prose is not quite at the same level; there is no “borne back ceaselessly into the past”.

But with every page I turned in this novel, I was enveloped more by the era, the city, the heroine, her flawed companions, and her fallen idols.

Opinion/Events

I agree totally with Mr. Bennett’s comments as reported in the Townsman. My wife and I live on 60 acres of non-farmable land with a marvelous Rocky Mountain view and, in spite of RDEK subdivision approval, have been repeatedly blocked by the ALR. They refuse to look at the property in question, which consists of rock bands every 30-40 feet, soil composed of glacial till with 30 per cent rock, and an area microclimate which only receives 6-8 inches of moisture per year. Our grasses can support three cow-calf pairs for 3-4 months per year (if we had water for them). This is not a farmable situation, although the ALR hides behind their mantra that their mandate is to preserve valuable farmland.

No farmer on this rocky hillside has made a living. ALR, by all means preserve lands which have farming potential, but just because lands were captured within the ALR’s 1972 legislation boundaries doesn’t mean they were viable “farmlands”.

The ranchers we met with to obtain RDEK approval all recognized the lack of viability of our area and its very dry microclimate.

A two-hectare piece carved off the bottom of our lands adjacent to an established subdi-

vision in no way affects the farming agribusiness located on this area. We are caught in a catch 22 by an autocratic non-elected ALR board, which appears to answer to no one.

Our 60 acres cannot generate enough income to qualify for farm status. To play the “farming game” would destroy the fragile bunch grasses and encourage even more weed invasions. As it is we are spending large sums of money on weeds coming from established farms and government Crown lands around us. The ALR needs accountability; they need to actually look at property in question, and stop hiding behind their legislation which states their mandate is to protect farm land, when in fact what they are protecting are rocky outcrops. Just possibly their time would be better spent protecting the river bottom lands and Fraser Valleys of the province.

Forest thinning Not so long ago a certain travel article described Cranbrook as being less than beautiful and Cranbrook City Hall and residents were very upset. I think Cranbrook is beautiful but I also think there is only a

few vital assets that allow us to make that claim. To me the most important one is that we are surrounded on all sides by easily accessed forests and trails that have been cared for and nurtured by citizens of the area for well over a century.

The amazing thing to me is, rather than considering it an important resource that should be guarded and even enhanced, our community leaders view it as a dangerous deficit to the community that should be eliminated.

I once lived in a beautiful area where enjoying the surrounding forest was an everyday event. But I took it for granted and one day it was gone, replaced by a sterile and featureless “thinned” forest much like the desolate “10 kilometre buffer” picture in Sally MacDonald’s article. The loss to me, and that community, was severe and unrecoverable.

I’m sorry to discover that the City of Cranbrook and the RDEK have fallen into that trap so easily – and so quietly.

Mr. Robert Gray certainly has experience and credentials to talk about reducing forest fuel, but his interest is the logging industry. The B.C. government is pro-logging too and if you ask a logger to care for your Community Forest or to recommend fire safety methods, of course the solution will al-

ways involve cutting down the trees and converting them to cubic meters of “fiber”.

Rather than reducing the threat, the danger may even be more severe after “forest thinning”. Experience in several areas of the U.S. has shown that fires in dry grass and exposed low undergrowth propagate far faster and are more uncontrollable than fires in heavier timber on flat land, and after the proposed thinning in our area, dry grass, small trees and low undergrowth will probably be the case also.

There will always be a danger of fire but it’s a threat we’ve faced successfully for many decades. Our surrounding forest is already considered second growth, it’s on flat land with good access and available water supplies. It’s a valuable resource that is worth protecting as it has been for 150 years.

Mr. Gray’s presentation seemed to concentrate largely on the financial aspects of the project. Will it be revenue neutral or will it make money? I have no doubt somebody will make money. The only other thing I know for sure is that if the project proceeds as Mr. Gray describes, the Cranbrook area will lose something forever that money can’t buy.

The quandry with urban wildlife

Coun. Bob Whetham

n some places it’s bears, in others it’s beavers or geese. Here in Cranbrook, it’s an overabundance of deer.

In many parts of North America and overseas, species that until recent times were the focus of conservation efforts have adapted to life in the suburbs and flourished.

While wildlife has become habituated to people, their presence has also become a source of increasing confusion and conflict. Part of the issue is changing public attitudes. Species that for centuries were hunted as a source of food or clothing are now regarded by many as outdoor pets.

For their part, these creatures are simply taking advantage of rich, urban habitats furnished with lush lawns, flowers and shrubbery. Lacking predators and with an abundance of food, their numbers have increased to the point where they have become a nuisance and at times a menace.

Developing acceptable programs for wildlife management to address growing public frustration and concern is an emotional and divisive challenge that has fallen to municipal councils to resolve.

So how did we get here? Local circumstances vary but Jim Sterba, the author of “Nature Wars”, describes two general trends that stand out. One involves the post war shift away from farms and rural areas to cities where the majority of people now earn their livelihoods indoors. As the population has become more urbanized, it has also become increasingly disconnect-

ed from the natural world. Associated with these changes, there has been a decrease in hunting and, despite what we are taught about Darwin, a widely held belief that if it were not for human interference, wildlife would live in a natural state of harmony with each other.

The other major factor is urban sprawl.

Without protection and suitable habitat to support them, game animals would not choose to live amidst their traditional predator, homo sapiens. Our stewardship of large, landscaped suburban lots is not about raising crops but about providing “a stage for living” where the focus is on preserving the appearance of natural surroundings. The tree cover and edge conditions so carefully tended by people are also favoured by deer. Experience in Michigan has found upwards of 65 animals per square mile in the suburbs as compared to a mere 15 animals per square mile in the wild. Education can help to reduce deer-human conflicts but does not address their unchecked proliferation. Removing them still means they have to be taken somewhere, and sterilizing them is not practical nor are the drugs allowed in Canada.

So what to do? Wildlife control by lethal means is controversial and it took the crash of US Airways flight 1549 into the Hudson River after geese were sucked into both engines for opposition to a long sought reduction program to be overcome.

A crisis had to occur before steps could be taken to address the problem.

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor Land Reserve

Thursday, August 15, 2013

Deer do not present the same level of hazard but statistics compiled over the past several years show that in Cranbrook, nearly twice as many have been killed as a result of collisions with vehicles than in the two culls carried out to date. No details on injuries or costs for damages are available but it is safe to say that for those who were involved, the experience was traumatic.

Nothing in nature remains static and in the absence of a program to control the deer population, vehicle collisions and incidents of aggression involving humans and dogs can be expected to increase along with the prospect of attracting natural predators including coyotes and cougars.

Even in animal-loving Britain, there are growing demands to cull the deer population for reasons of public safety as well as the need to reduce damage to woodlands and crops. One recent editorial quotes research calling for reductions of 50 to 60 per cent.

Cranbrook’s experience with deer is a story that has already played out many times elsewhere. The issues are complex but one conclusion that can’t be avoided is the need to accept our responsibilities to manage and provide stewardship of the altered environment we helped to create.

Wakesurfing event features the best in the world Keenan Flegel, the reigning world champion, showed why he’s been on the podium more often that not TRE VOR CRWALEY Sports Editor

The Koocanusa Wakesurfing Challenge featured some of the best in the world in the sport, and it showed, attracting Keenan Flegel all the way from Florida.

Flegel, who won the KWC in both the skim and surf pro events, is the reigning world champion, making the trip up from Fort Lauderdale a week before the event to help lead organizer and local pro rider Caroline Villeneuve put on a wakesurfing camp.

A week later, it was time to get down to business on the water for the wakesurfing challenge, where he put his considerable skills to the test, where he is judged by his fellow riders.

“This is the most fun event of the year,” said Flegel. “Everything’s laid back, awesome lake and I just love coming out here to have fun.”

The KWC is a qualifying event for the Centrion World Wake Surfing Championship in Arizona at the end of

Keenan Flegel hits the wake during his run on Saturday afternoon at Gold Bay. September. It was the same event that Flegel won last year.

“The world championships is far and away the biggest event of the year and there’s always some nerves that come along with that,” said Flegel. “So sometimes you have a good day, sometimes you don’t, but over the last couple years I’ve won and I’ve lost, so it just depends

on how you’re feeling that day.”

While Flegel and some of the pros came in from all corners of North America, there was also some local talent in the amateur events, with Isaac Hockley and Gabrielle Brass representing Cranbrook, while Emily Agate, Keya White and Lisa Klassen call Fernie home.

Brady limps off Patriots’ practice field ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady limped off the practice field Wednesday after appearing to hurt his left knee when he was hit after throwing a pass.

Club president Jonathan Kraft told WBZ-FM that he made a call to check on Brady’s condition and it “hopefully did not appear to be that bad.”

Brady tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the 2008 season opener and missed the rest of the season.

Take a cruise from Montreal to Boston Maritime Travel’s Carla Nelson recommends an eastern seaboard tour of New England and Canada

A

really nice cruise vacation that I experienced a few years ago was actually close to home, relatively speaking. An eastern seaboard cruise opens your eyes to the fascinating history, culture and scenic beauty of Canada and New England.

There are several itineraries and durations offered, the most popular being Boston to Montreal or vice versa.

This is typically a seven-day cruise.

The season is May to October. Fall foliage cruises are most popular but you really need to book for October to see the changing colours – September is usually too early.

Pack a windbreaker and umbrella because this is also technically hurricane season, so weather could be a bit unsettled! Otherwise, the other months are beautiful and warm.

If you are beginning in Boston, try to add on a couple of days there. It is a beautiful city, easy to get around, with lots of great seafood restaurants (including the Union Oyster House, the oldest restaurant in North America).

Make sure you have time to take in a baseball game at Fenway Park. Even if you’re not a baseball fan (which I’m really not), the atmosphere is electric as it is a compact park and the antics of those in the Green Monster section are not to be missed.

Having the whole stadium sing ‘Sweet Caroline’ at seventh inning stretch is also pretty cool.

After embarkation in Boston, you will cruise

to Bar Harbor, Maine, or as the New Englanders say it – “Baah Haabaah”.

There are historic residences, museums and more seafood. And a great coastal hike, spotting wildflowers and lighthouses along the way.

You enter Canadian waters for the rest of the cruise, arriving in Halifax.

Since the cruise industry starting visiting the port of Halifax, the waterfront has been refurbished with great boardwalks, shops, and restaurants. Of course, you’ll want to visit Citadel Hill (you’ll be there for the noon cannon blast!) and beer tasting at Alexander Keith’s Brewery.

Next stop is Sydney in Cape Breton Island.

Cape Bretoners are just the friendliest people! I may be a bit partial as I was born in Nova Scotia and lived in Cape Breton for several years.

There is a lovely historic church from the 1800s right near the port and lots of little markets.

Next stop – Anne of Green Gables! Prince Edward Island – full of potato fields, beaches, and stunning scenery.

And how did we get there? Cruised right under the Confederation Bridge, seemingly with only inches to spare! Cool experience.

The final stops are in Quebec. Not only is Quebec City quaint and European with cobblestone streets, outdoor bars and cafes, and horse and carriage rides, it has tremendous Canadian history. One must visit the Plains of Abraham battlefields and fortresses.

CALGARY — A second Humboldt penguin in as many days has died at the Calgary Zoo from what a veterinarian says appears to be a bacterial infection.

The zoo says threeyear-old Juntos died Tuesday night despite feverish attempts by animal care workers to save the animal.

Another three-yearold named Guillermo died on Monday.

Both penguins came to the Calgary Zoo from an animal park in Syracuse, N.Y. The Humboldts make their summer home in the outdoor exhibit at the popular Penguin Plunge.

It was one of the first exhibits to reopen two weeks ago after severe flooding damaged much of the zoo in June.

Humboldt penguins at the Calgary Zoo. Humboldts appear to have fallen ill.

“I have conducted the post-mortem examinations on both penguins and, while we are waiting for confirmation, the results are most consistent with an infection caused by the bacterium Chlamydophila psittaci,” Dr. Doug Whiteside, the zoo’s senior staff veterinarian, said in a release Wednesday.

“Test results will confirm this diagnosis, but in the meantime we are treating the remaining eight Humboldts and two gentoos that share the outdoor exhibit to do our best to prevent further losses.”

Whiteside said the disease has caused outbreaks in other zoos and has been detected in wild Humboldts and other bird species. It can be latent for months or years.

Flood Aid a bigbudget ‘old-fashioned Prairie barn raising’

Sale ends August 17th, 2013

#11, 10th Ave South Cranbrook BC 250.489.4661 www.highcountrysports.ca

CALGARY — Comedian Brent Butt is calling it the musical equivalent of an old-fashioned barn raising.

A fundraising concert for Alberta flood relief is expected to draw 30,000 to Calgary’s McMahon Stadium Thursday to hear such blockbuster Canadian acts as Nickelback, Jann Arden, Randy Bachman, Tom Cochrane, Matthew Good and Corb Lund.

Butt has agreed to be the master of ceremonies for the event which organizers believe could raise $2 million for flood relief.

“I think it’s going to allow people to be celebratory in a way — it’s not like a memorial. In a way it’s a big shiny, modern, multimillion-dollar version of an old Prairie barn raising,” Butt said.

The Saskatchewan-born creator of the TV show “Corner Gas” has a couple of siblings that live in Calgary and started his comedy career in the city before eventually moving to Toronto.

“It’s kind of fun for me to participate in this — my duties are really to keep the show moving along loosey-goosey. It’s not like I’m having to go out and do a bunch of standup,” he said.

“This is really a musical concert so for me it’s about keeping the show moving, crack wise when I can and try and make people laugh now and then. I’m not look-

ing to make light of the situation at all. I’m looking to lighten the situation. It’s a pretty easy gig.”

The main organizer of the event, Peter Jurisic, said the show will run a total of five hours and still, a number of performers had to be turned away.

“It’s great talent. It’s diverse. It’s world class.

It’s homegrown. We’re going to have some unique collaborations on stage,” Jurisic said.

“I know how successful aid concerts have been in the past and I thought this was a very profound event that affected southern Alberta and we should do something that is fairly significant to see if we could build something big.”

Winnipeg’s Bachman doesn’t fit the homegrown criteria, but he said he feels a tie to southern Alberta.

“Being a Winnipeg kid, I’m sure I’ve played every town in the Prairies, and if I can help bring awareness to the devastation, and the ongoing need for repair, I’m happy to be involved,” he said.

Bachman said it was hard not to be drawn into the tragedy that impacted thousands of families.

Lund, who grew up in southern Alberta, has already played a number of flood benefits and wrote and recorded “Blood, Sweat and Water — A Song for Southern Alberta” with the proceeds going to flood relief.

Legacy totem pole first to tower over Gwaii Haanas in 130 years C ANADIAN PRESS

GWAII HAANAS, B.C. — Ten months ago, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck B.C.’s coastal Haida Gwaii, triggering tsunami warnings and halting hot water from flowing into Hot Springs Island in Gwaii Haanas.

Haida legend has it the quake was the work of a supernatural being — its translated name is Sacred One Standing and Moving — who is believed to hold up the Haida Gwaii and is responsible for the tremors that strike the islands.

An image of the Sacred One, symbolizing the powerful quake last year, has been carved into the soft red cedar of a totem pole commemorating other ancient and modern historic events in Gwaii Haanas that will rise above Lyell Island on Thursday, the first time in

The 13-metre legacy pole — with an additional three metres of it underground — is meant to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Gwaii Haanas Agreement, a partnership established in 1993 that allows the government of Canada and the Haida Nation to co-manage and protect the region.

“Twenty years ago, the era was such a different time. It was an era of conflict,” said Peter Lantin, president of the Haida Nation. “For Canada to come (on board) with the Haida Nation to protect Gwaii Haanas is quite significant.”

Haida Gwaii is made up of more than 150 islands about 90 kilome-

tres west of British Columbia’s north coast.

Lyell Island, on Gwaii Haanas, was where dozens from the Haida Nation gathered to block a logging road in 1985 to protest against logging. About 70 people were arrested during the demonstration. Two years later, the area was designated a heritage site, and the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve was created.

The 1985 blockade is represented by five people standing together, locking hands, in the totem pole.

Lantin called the 1993 agreement between the federal government and the Haida Nation “an agreement to disagree on title,” as both parties assert ownership over the land. But the unique partnership “really looks at co-management of the land as a vehicle to

work together,” he said.

The agreement is represented by a sculpin fish at the bottom of the pole, and an eagle at the top, to symbolize an area that is protected “from ocean floor to mountain top,” said Edenshaw, who is now putting some finishing touches on his work.

A grizzly bear, dogs, a raven and three Haida Gwaii watchmen are also part of the pole. The carving began a year ago and was done in Skidegate on Graham Island, the largest island in the archipelago.

Ernie Gladstone, the park’s field unit superintendent, said the logistics around raising a pole in Gwaii Haanas, which is only accessible by air or by water, are challenging. The legacy pole was transported from Skidegate to Lyell Island on a barge.

“In Gwaii Haanas, we don’t have any paved roads, we don’t have lots

of people down there, and we need to bring people in,” he said.

“They’re not going to be there forever, they’re going to return to the earth where they originated from in the first place.”

Lantin said the legacy pole is as much about celebrating the Haida nation’s relationship with Canada as it is about preserving its culture.

When small pox wiped out the vast majority of the Haida Nation living in Gwaii Haanas more than a century ago, the art of carving totem poles died with them, he said.

“It’s taken a long time for us to get back into the swing of it,” he said.

The pole raising is planned for Thursday, where about 200 people are expected to pull the pole up with five ropes. It will be followed by a celebration later in the week.

Man loses job after asking for marijuana drop-off on Twitter MICHELLE MCQUIGGE Canadian Press

TORONTO — An online search for marijuana has turned into a job hunt for one Canadian Twitter user.

Sunith Baheerathan caused an online stir when he issued a tweet requesting prospective pot sellers to bring some of their wares to a Mr. Lube location in a Toronto suburb.

That location was Baheerathan’s place of employment until Tuesday, according to both the company and Baheerathan’s own tweets.

Baheerathan first raised eyebrows when he expressed his workplace craving in a public tweet and appealed

directly to those who may be able to satisfy it.

“Any dealers in Vaughan wanna make a 20sac chop?

Come to Keele/Langstaff Mr. Lube, need a spliff,” he wrote.

But the tweet soon turned into a viral sensation when it caught the attention of local police, who lost no time in contributing to the online chatter.

“Awesome! Can we come too?” read the retort from the York Regional Police’s official twitter feed.

Moments later the twitter exchange was a trending topic in Toronto. Shortly after that, Baheerathan found himself looking for work.

“Just got the call of termination,” he tweeted to a friend.

An employer at the Mr. Lube location mentioned in Baheerathan’s controversial tweet, who would not share his name, confirmed that Baheerathan had been fired yesterday but would not say whether his dismissal was related to his online activities.

Phone calls to the head office of Mr. Lube in British Columbia were not immediately returned.

Baheerathan responded to an interview request by retweeting it to his followers alongside several messages expressing consternation at

his firing.

“I’ve lost complete hope in society man. There’s killers/rapists/people missing and all they care about is a dude asking for weed,” he wrote in one tweet.

“Gotta watch what you tweet nowadays, even the freedom of speech & the right to an entitled opinion isn’t safe,” read another.

Social media consultant Amber MacArthur doesn’t believe freedom of speech has much to do with the issue.

Companies are unlikely to look kindly on any employee that brings them unwanted attention, she said.

“There is that perception

TWITTER

Police used social media skills to warn a Mr. Lube worker. that employees can be free to say whatever they want, but the reality is an employer does have the right to dismiss an employee if the em-

ployee has connected their name with some kind of activity... that doesn’t reflect well on them, and this is a perfect example of that.”

AP Photo/FUNAI

In this frame grab taken from video shot in 2011 by Brazil’s National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) and released on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2013, a Kawahiva Indian carries arrows in the Amazon jungle in Brazil.

Video shows isolated tribe deep in Amazon ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A newly released video captures the first fleeting images of an indigenous tribe living in Brazil’s Amazon jungle that is thought to have had very little contact with the outside world.

The images show several members of the Kawahiva tribe walking through dense foliage. Naked men carry bows and arrows, and a woman totes a child on her back. The woman runs away after noticing the camera, and one

man briefly doubles back to investigate.

Loggers first reported the existence of the Kawahiva in 1999.

A reservation was created last year in the western state of Mato Grosso, but members of the tribe still face grave threats from loggers and farmers.

The video was shot in 2011 by the government’s agency overseeing indigenous matters, but was only released on Wednesday.

Bolivian man, 123, could be oldest person ever C arlos Valdez Associated Press

FRASQUIA, Bolivia — If Bolivia’s public records are correct, Carmelo Flores Laura is the oldest living person ever documented.

They say he turned 123 a month ago.

The native Aymara lives in a straw-roofed dirt-floor hut in an isolated hamlet near Lake Titicaca at 13,100 feet (4,000 metres), is illiterate, speaks no Spanish and has no teeth.

He walks without a cane and doesn’t wear glasses. And though he speaks Aymara with a firm voice, one must talk

into his ear to be heard. ``I see a bit dimly. I had good vision before.

But I saw you coming,’’ he tells Associated Press journalists who visit after a local TV report touts him as the world’s oldest person.

Hobbling down a dirt path, Flores greets them with a raised arm, smiles and sits down on a rock.

His gums bulge with coca leaf, a mild stimulant that staves off hunger. Like most Bolivian highlands peasants, he has been chewing it all his life.

Guinness World Records says the oldest living person verified by

original proof of birth is Misao Okawa, a 115-year-old Japanese woman. The oldest verified age was 122 years and 164 days: Jeanne Calment of France, who died in 1997.

Guinness spokeswoman Jamie Panas said it wasn’t aware of a claim being filed for the Bolivian. ``I should be about 100 years old or more,’’ Flores says. But his memory is dim.

Flores’ 27-year-old grandson Edwin says Flores fought in the 1933 Chaco war with Paraguay but he only faintly remembers.

GOLF Guide

The director of Bolivia’s civil registrar, Eugenio Condori, showed The Associated Press the registry that lists Flores’ birthdate as July 16, 1890.

Condori said birth certificates did not exist in Bolivia until 1940.

Births previously were registered with baptism certificates provided by Roman Catholic priests. ``For the state, the baptism certificate is valid,’’ Condori said. He said he couldn’t show Flores’ baptism certificate to the AP because it is a private document.

To what does Flores owe his longevity? ``I walk a lot, that’s all. I go out with the animals,’’ says Flores, who long herded cattle and sheep. ``I don’t eat noodles or rice, only barley.

I used to grow potatoes, beans, oca (an Andean tuber).’’

The water Flores drinks originates on the snow-capped peak of Illampu, one of Bolivia’s highest.

He says he doesn’t drink alcohol, but im-

bibed some in his youth.

He’s eaten a lot of mutton, and though he likes pork it is hardly available. He fondly remembers hunting and eating fox as a younger man.

Flores says he has never been farther afield than La Paz, 80 kilometres (50 miles) away, and has never been seriously ill.

He sorely misses his wife, who died more than a decade ago. Of their three children only one is still alive: Cecilio, age 67. There are 40 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren but most have left Frasquia, a dozen homes a twohour walk from the nearest road.

Edwin Flores, who lives next door with his wife and their two children, says his grandfather worked for the rancher who owned Frasquia until 1952, when the state seized major holdings in an agrarian reform and parceled them out to peasants.

The troopers woke him up and gave him sobriety tests, which he failed. Police say he was charged with driving while intoxicated for having a blood-alcohol content of 0.14 per cent, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08 per cent.

Troopers say the man lives in Newstead, a rural town 20 miles east of Buffalo.

Welcome!

NOW OPEN!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to give in to a whim after an important conversation about living well. You are responsible and accept more than your fair share of responsibilities.

Some lightness could help you enjoy your life more and improve the quality of your work. Listen to your inner voice more often to prevent negativity. Tonight: On a roll.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Give yourself the opportunity to confirm an insight before you act on it. Communication easily could go on overload. Listen to news and be aware of the possibilities opening up before you. If you look carefully, you will see an unusual path. Tonight: Share with a favorite loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be receptive and not the initiator.

You often are the force in communicating; being the receptor is different, especially if you have to integrate everything you hear. You like to spin information and get feedback. This situation is different. Tonight: With your friends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Pace yourself. You have a lot of ground to cover. You have the energy and the wherewithal to do just that. Others remain responsible and give you plenty of feedback. Try not to be defiant with a boss or older relative or friend.

Tonight: Exercise. Walk the dog.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A brainstorming session could straighten out a misunderstanding and bring strong results. You might see where the problem developed. Recognize that your past choices might have been off for someone else. Regroup and walk in another person’s shoes. Tonight: Add that special unique quality associated with you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Consider a home office or increasing the time that you spend there.

You can develop a high level of efficiency if you are able to concentrate and eliminate distraction.

You could find home a better place to work from. Communication flourishes, providing a lot to think about. Tonight: Think weekend plans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

You are more in contact with others than you have been in a while.

How you view a situation could change once you open up a discussion. What you believed to be a given just might not be. Your sense of accomplishment emerges once you bridge a gap. Tonight: Return calls, then decide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be aware of your financial bearings. Honestly decide what might be extravagant and what is possible. Reflect on your choices and directions. Find an expert or two, and be open to his or her feedback, even if you do not like it. Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of a decision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be tripped up by a situation that you choose to look at wearing your rose-colored shades.

You will gain insight if you are willing to be more realistic and listen to others’ feedback. You cannot change someone, but you can change your response to him or her, allowing the other person to see an issue. Tonight: As you like it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Use the moment to reflect and

gain more information. You might be involved with some research, while some of you will be gaining their information from their skills of observation. Asking the right question also is helpful. Trust your judgments. Tonight: Lie back again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A meeting could be exciting, as you hear the most unanticipated news. Yes, you do have reason for celebration, but you also must look in another direction, integrating this news into your life. The change could be dramatic. Tonight: Doing exactly what you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might not be as sure of yourself as you would like to be. In fact, you often might be confused. A boss or superior could be making you more uncomfortable in a discussion without intending to. The issue is you are not grasping certain details with your rose-colored shades on. Tonight: Living it up.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband has a 12-yearold daughter from a previous marriage. We don’t get to see “Emma” too often. She lives with her mother in another state, and Mom keeps her summers so packed that she cannot visit.

The problem is that this year Emma visited my father-in-law for an entire week, and he didn’t once let her do anything with us. It was very upsetting. My husband and I have three young children together, and Grandpa spends NO time with them at all. Yet he managed a week with Emma and didn’t include us. Our 5-year-old was hurt that Grandpa spends time with his older sister but never does anything with him.

Can I do anything about Grandpa playing favorites? It kills me to see my children hurt because of it. I also want my children to have a good relationship with their half-sister. I’ve talked to my husband, but he doesn’t know what to do, either, and it’s causing a great deal of stress in our home. -- Upset Daughter-in-Law Dear Upset: You surely realize that Grandpa “hoards” Emma in an effort to make up for the divorce and also to be sure that his ex-daughter-in-law will continue to allow the girl to visit. Your husband should speak to his father and explain how hurt the other grandchildren are that he doesn’t spend any time with them. You both should encourage Grandpa to come over more often. More importantly, if your husband doesn’t get to see Emma because Mom is deliberately preventing it, he should speak to his lawyer about amending the visitation arrangements.

Dear Annie: I am an older single guy and have a question. The women I’ve dated repeatedly say, “I can’t make a decision, because I don’t know where I will be in five years.”

Now, we’re not talking about marriage proposals, but about other decisions that often come up. I’ve never heard a guy say something like that. No one knows where they will be in five years, and the decisions one makes today often affect that.

Is this some form of decision avoidance? -Just Curious Dear Curious: What type of questions are you asking that provoke them to contemplate their lives five years down the road?

Either they believe your questions require some type of commitment they aren’t willing to give, or they are trying to tell you that a commitment from you is exactly what they are looking for.

Dear Annie: I’m writing in reply to “KC,” who was horrified to discover that her ancestors owned slaves and didn’t know how to explain it to her mixed-race nieces.

I believe that KC is very much afraid that somehow, after many, many generations, her family history will taint her as a racist.

My family, too, fought and died in the Civil War on both sides. Some were slave owners.

The youngest died from neglect and disease at age 17 in a Union POW camp.

There has been a member of my family in every war since the American Revolution.

My son is the seventh generation serving in the military, and I’m proud of my family history. Just because some owned slaves does not make me a racist. I know right from wrong. I live in a culturally diverse neighborhood and have close friends of many races.

People should not erase the bad parts of their family history. They are just facts, not a reflection of who they are now. Thanks for letting me have a voice. -- K.

In Memoriam

In Memoriam

MARLEEN ELAINE EDNA WILLIAMS

(nee L’Heureux) Dec. 9, 1945 - Aug. 15, 2011 In the passage of time it has been two years, Yet my heart still struggles to believe.

We always had faith. You were almost home...

Why is it that you had to leave?

Though I try to accept that God had His plan, You had so many reasons to live.

So many friends and family who cared, So much more love you could give.

Now your spirit is free from the bounds of time, And love is forever, your light always shines.

One day I’ll find you...somewhere beyond the sea, For I believe in you, and I know that we will be.

Love you always, Steve

Esther Lush It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of our dear mother and sister, Esther.

Born in Manitoba 1942, deceased in Cranbrook Hospital July 31, 2013.

There will be no service at Esther’s request. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

SULLIVAN, NANCY A. 1920 - 2013 It is with great sadness that we, the family of Nancy Allison Boyak South Sullivan announce her passing on Saturday, August 10, 2013 at the age of 92 years. She passed away peacefully in her home with her family at her side. Nancy passed away after a short time of pain and she is now free of pain and suffering. She was born in Bodmin, SK, the second daughter of Amy Buckland and Leslie South on September 17, 1920.

She leaves to mourn the last six of her family of nine children: Kathleen (Joe), Rose Anne, John (Kay), Mary, Loretta (Herb), Rod (Sandi) and daughter-in-law Hiltje.

She also leaves to mourn 19 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, Leslie South and Amy Buckland South (who died in childbirth), plus her siblings Catherine, Tom and Leslie South, brother-in-law Alex South, her sister-in-law Linda Agnew South and by her husband of 38 years, Jim Sullivan (1978), her sons Gregg (1975), Paul (2003), Phil (2013) and her last remaining cousin in England, Kathy Reid who passed away in April of this year at 96.

Mom made the best bread and cinnamon buns and always had some ready when family came to visit. When Dad was asked if he would marry again, his reply was “Only if she could make homemade bread like your Mother.”

Mom also taught herself to read and knit at the same time. She was a good provider and knew how to make ends meet all the time. She was an avid gardener and was called “Farmer Brown” by one of the seniors at the Kimberley pool. She passed the love of gardening on.

She was also a great seamstress and made many of our clothes. She taught her daughters and many grand-kids how to knit as well.

She was a Brownie and Cub leader in both Stony Plain, AB area and Kimberley, BC. She volunteered at the Kimberley Food Bank and Kimberley Public Library from the time she moved here in 1990. She was well known for making “critters” as she called them (stuffed toys).

Many of her family received them and she also donated them to the church for their bazaars. She has knitted and crocheted many afghans for us to cherish.

She will be greatly missed by her remaining children, grandchildren and great grandchildren as well as her sister- in- law Margaret Gurtler South and Dad’s cousin Grace Alberts Kennedy. She leaves many nieces and nephews, which include both great and great greats.

The family would like to thank Father John and Father Peter, Dr. Dupreez, the ladies of the Kimberley Home Care Support and her friend Lucy for the care and support shown to Mom in her last days. Memorial donations may be made in Nancy’s memory to the Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank, 340 Leadenhall St., Kimberley, BC V1A 2L3 or the Kimberley Public Library, 115 Spokane St., Kimberley, BC V1A 2E5.

A Celebration of Nancy’s Life will be held on Friday, August 16, 2013 at 11:00 am at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, 200 Boundary Rd., Spruce Grove, AB - North of Hwy. 16, western outskirts of Spruce Grove.

Cat hair was found around the body of David Guy, right, who was found hidden in a trash bag on a British beach in July 2012. Detectives matched the hair to a cat belonging to the man’s friend, David Hilder, left.

Cat DNA helped convict killer R aphael Sat ter Associated Press

LONDON — Fingerprints are not the only thing that killers can leave behind — add cat hair to that list.

A British university said Wednesday that its DNA database of British felines helped convict a man of manslaughter, illustrating how the genetic material of pets can be used by crime scene investigators.

“This is the first time cat DNA has been used in a criminal trial in the U.K.,” said Jon Wetton from the University of Leicester. “This could be a real boon for forensic science, as the 10 million cats in the U.K. are unwittingly tagging the clothes and furnishings in more than a quarter of households.”

Although drawing DNA from human hair, saliva, or blood samples has long been a part of crime scene investigations, animal material has also provided invaluable clues. The Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the University of California, Davis, has used animal DNA to catch criminals for more than a decade — including one case in London in which blood left at the scene of a night-

club stabbing was matched to a murder suspect’s bull terrier.

In the latest case in Britain, investigators tapped the same lab to identify the cat hair discovered around the dismembered torso of David Guy, 30, who was found hidden in a trash bag on a British beach in July 2012. Detectives matched the hair to a cat belonging to the man’s friend, David Hilder, but because the genetic material was mitochondrial DNA — which can be shared among large number of animals — the strength of the match couldn’t be known.

That’s where the cat DNA database came in.

Wetton — who had previously helped to set up a similar database for dogs — worked with doctoral student Barbara Ottolini to create a repository of cat DNA for the Hilder case. They gathered samples of mitochondrial DNA from 152 felines across England over a six-week period.

“Only three of the samples obtained matched the hairs from the crime scene,” Wetton said, suggesting that while the match wasn’t perfect, it was still a pretty good indication the hairs on the torso came from Hilder’s cat.

“No one’s going to be convicted on this alone, but if it’s helping to reinforce other sorts of evidence then you can paint a picture in the jury’s mind,” Wetton said.

In this case there was a host of additional evidence — including traces of Guy’s blood discovered at Hilder’s residence in Southsea, in southern England — and it was enough to secure the 47-yearold’s conviction.

On July 30, Hilder was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 12 years before he is eligible for parole.

Authorities said in statements after the trial that Hilder and Guy’s relationship — and the motive for the latter’s killing — remain unclear. The two were neighbours, but prosecutors described their relationship as “love/hate.” They said the violence may have even been spurred by an argument over the cat.

Wetton said he hoped the cat DNA database could serve in future cases.

As for the cat itself — Tinker — police said it was alive and well and living with new owners.

US beauty queen gives up crown amid explosives charges ASSOCIATED PRESS

SALT LAKE CITY — A U.S. beauty pageant winner charged with tossing homemade bombs from a vehicle has relinquished her crown.

Kendra McKenzie Gill tells KSL-TV that she and her friends feel terrible about the incident,

but she insists they were just playing a practical joke and never threw the explosives at people.

Gill and three friends were charged last week with four felony counts of possession of an explosive device.

Prosecutors say the 18-yearolds drove around town Aug. 2

and tossed plastic bottles of toilet bowl cleaner and shrapnel at people and property. Nobody was injured.

Gill had been Miss Riverton, Utah. She said knew she’d probably have the title revoked and wanted to step down before it was taken from her.
