Attack crew responds to fire near Rossland
INTERESTED OBSERVER
Helicopter called in to help douse small lightning-caused fire BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
Although the fire danger rating has been downgraded to low in the area, a new fire burning near Rossland was reported Sunday. The fire is 1.5 kilometres east of Highway 3B, north of Rossland, confirmed Jordan Turner, fire information officer at the Southeast Fire Centre. “A local resident saw smoke and called it in to us (Sunday),” he said, adding, “further investigation found that indeed there was a fire, though small in size.” A three-person initial attack crew was on site Monday to set up fuel-free zones, and one helicopter was overhead to bucket the fire. The fire was lightning-caused and considered active at press time. A fire event that happened last week north of Champion Lakes is now classified as out, although crews remain on patrol in the affected area. “We are continuing to monitor it on an ongoing basis,” said Turner. “Increased temperatures can make embers a fire again, and we make sure that doesn’t become an issue.” The fire was considered Rank One, meaning it was a smouldering ground, and creeping surface fire, that burned a 0.3 hectares. So far this season, the centre has seen 243 wildfires which have burned 415 hectares, according to its latest report. The five-year average for this time of year is 220 fires, and this time last year, the number was significantly lower, with 54 fires burning 174 hectares. All but one of the 47 active wildfires were caused by lightning, and with more unsettled weather in the forecast, the Centre is on alert, said Turner. In August, 115 lightning fires were reported in the Southeast Fire Centre, an area covering six zones that stretch from the B.C./Alberta border in the east to the Boundary area in the west and from the Canada/US border in the south to the North Columbia/Golden region in the north. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call (star) *5555 on a cellphone or 1-800-6635555.

Trail ready for next step in boundary expansion Assessment pegs land value at $105 million BY SHERI REGNIER Times Staff
The numbers are in and Trail is ready to roll the dice and take the city’s boundary expansion proposal to the next level. In May, the city released details about a mutual agreement with Teck Metals Ltd., that outlined Trail’s intent to expand its boundary into Teck-owned land in Area A. At stake is cash, tax concessions

and land which runs south through Columbia Gardens to the international border. However, before the plan could be submitted to the province for ratification, land values and tax assessments of the 66 parcels of property affected by a proposed expansion, had to be updated by Urban Systems, the company that completed the 2012 boundary expansion study. And what a difference a year makes. A general land assessment released Friday, which included property of eight landowners living in the area, was pegged at $105 million. That number is

up $28 million from the value the city and Teck referred to in its partnering agreement. Included in the proposed expansion are Teck’s Waneta Reload Facility and the Waneta Dam. In terms of potential net revenue gain from the dam, the city must split proceeds 60-40 with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB). In 2012, the net to Trail was estimated to be $328,000 and the RDKB, $229,000. That figure has jumped to $548,000 for the city in 2013, with the district seeing $349,000. See IMPACT, Page 3

Backcountry cabin causes concern for council By Timothy Schafer Rossland News

A backcountry cabin conundrum had council counting up its concerns. A proposal by an upper Red Mountain Ski Resort resident to add a recreational cabin to his 20-acre property spun council into a debate on the possibility of opening a Pandora’s box of precedence for zoning amendments to subdivide in the hillside neighbourhood. Warren Hamm requested an amendment to the MA-1 zone (the skiing terrain of Red Mountain) to allow up to two recreational cabins per parcel in the zone. But city planner Mike Maturo said a number of servicing and building code issues remained outstanding

and unaddressed on the property and he balked at recommending the amendment for approval. An additional recreational cabin allowed on one parcel in the zone facilitated rental lodging, dual ownership and subsequent subdivision, he warned, scenarios not supported by the city’s Official Community Plan. He recommended leaving the density at one recreation cabin per parent parcel, but council was divided by the prospect of allowing the amendment or disallowing it. “I think the planner brought up a lot of issues that could come up down the way,” said councillor Kathy Moore. Councillor Jill Spearn said council has talked repeatedly

in the past about the romantic notion of cabins on Red Mountain, and she liked the concept. “But I don’t like that there are so many things ... that need to be remedied in order for one to construct a cabin out there,” she said. One recreation cabin per parent parcel is a permitted use that must meet a number of zoning bylaw and B.C. Building Code conditions including road access, emergency services, sewer and water. Maturo warned that increasing the density of the recreation cabins could lead to associated uses (shortterm lodging and associated commercial servicing) which could appear as new activities at the recreation cabins.
The proponent’s 20-hectare parcel, which is used primarily as a ski run—Jumbo and Orchards—has no access to a legal, dedicated road. As such the parcel is legally non-conforming due to the requirements in the Land Title Act. Councillor Jody Blomme did not see the amendment as precedence setting. “On council we are in position where we can say, ‘Let’s make an exception.’ And I think this warrants an exception. The actual foot print of one extra cabin on this lot is rather insignificant,” she said, noting the unique positioning of the parcel in a remote area. A motion was passed to defer the matter back to staff to investigate other options.

Impact on B.V. services considered
B.V. Lions help support KBRH Foundation
FROM PAGE 1 The study’s consultant noted that there is further revenue potential from the dam due to additional assessment growth, as well as grants in lieu of taxes, explained David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer in a memorandum to the city. The most contentious issue with Trail’s proposed boundary expansion is the impact it may have on regional services, in particular the Beaver Valley Parks and Recreational Trail Services (BVPART). Perehudoff explained that the province has indicated that one of the guiding principles for the eventual approval of the boundary extension is that the BVPART be protected long-term and remain “whole.” The current report indicates a net shortfall in the service in the amount of $472,000 compared to $374,000 in the 2012 study. The revenue loss would inevitably come at a cost to the taxpayer in the affected community and the latest study notes a $43 increase would result on a $200,000 residential home. “With the current recreation agreement expiring with Beaver Valley Parks and Recreation, it is suggested that this difference could be made up in the contractual amount currently being paid to the city,” explained Perehudoff. Trail must come up with a reasonable offer within the financial parameters of the extension and implication on the city as well as the regional services impacted.

Slocan Valley
By Art Harrison Times Staff
The B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations announced some minor changes to elk hunting regulations in the East Kootenay but local hunters aren’t likely to be greatly affected by the changes. The areas affected by the revised regulations are mostly east of Creston, ranging up through the Cranbrook, and into the area surrounding Invermere on either side of the Columbia River. Closures are for antlerless elk including the general open season and the senior/youth seasons with dates ranging from Sept. 10 to Sept. 30 in specific hunting areas within the East Kootenay. Terry Hanik, president of the Trail Wildlife Association, said that the new regulations probably won’t change the hunting habits of many big game hunters in Greater Trail who venture into the East Kootenay. “Most of the guys who go from here go for bulls anyways, six point (antlers) or better,” he said. “With the changes a few years ago when they opened up the west we’ve got a lot more people coming into the Pend O’reille where we had transplanted elk trying to restore the population and the Castlegar area for the big ones around here.” The elk hunting seasons in the east were expanded in 2010 in an effort to reduce agricultural crop damage in the area.
Jet fuel spill clean-up continues
THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER - Some cleaning up remains to be done on Lemon Creek following a massive jet-fuel spill last month, but environmental officials said Monday that most of the other affected waterways are back to normal, with no lingering signs of the fuel. The Ministry of Environment says crews are still recovering materials from the creek after 35,000 litres of jet fuel were spilled from a tanker truck on July 26. However, the ministry said tests indicate the Slocan River, the Kootenay River and areas close to those waterways are clear. “In the Slocan system and Kootenay systems there is nothing detectable,” said Brad McCandlish with the Ministry of Environment. “There are recovery efforts still taking place in Lemon Creek, and the crews are still mobilizing product and capturing it in absorbent booms.” The spill prompted an evacuation alert, as well as do-not-use water restrictions. While no materials have been detected in the Slocan River and the

services Wayne Smook said the company immediately assembled a “small army of responders” who, since the spill, have been involved in the clean up. Smook said he expects recovery efforts to wrap up soon, and that he will be forwarding a plan to the Ministry of Environment on how to monitor Lemon Creek for any lingering effects. Smook also said the company is awaiting findings from an investigation into the spill, and that it plans to change its operation procedures accordingly. The tanker truck was on its way to fuel helicopters fighting a nearby forest fire when the truck flipped into Lemon Creek. The jet fuel spill has sparked outrage among the Slocan Valley community, and has prompted one resident to launch a lawsuit against the province and the company. The lawsuit alleges the spill has led to the death and departure of wildlife in the area, but the environment ministry said aside from a small number of dead fish and birds found on the shoreline, there is no indication there has been a devastating impact on wildlife.

Kootenay River since Aug.1, the Interior Health Authority said it did not lift the bans until about a week later. “As restrictions were lifted, I was aware that there would still be fuel present,” said Dr. Andrew Larder, senior medical health officer with Interior Health. “I was satisfied the amounts were relatively small, and they would be localized to specific sites, and that the clean-up process would contain that material.” Larder said the remaining fuel poses a very low health risk and was not enough to justify upholding a blanket do-not-use water ban. He said water from the rivers is safe to drink as long as residents flush their water systems thoroughly. “If people still can detect fuel vapour off of that, then we have been asking them to contact Interior Health so we can assess what is going on with their water,” he said. Executive Flight Centre, the company that owned the tanker truck and has been coordinating spill response efforts, apologized for the accident on Monday. Senior vice president of airport

Retailers still selling smokes to minors
THE CANADIAN PRESS KAMLOOPS, B.C. - New figures from B.C.’s Interior Health Authority indicate a drop in the number of retailers complying with laws designed to keep tobacco away from minors. But the health authority suggests the numbers have more to do with an increase in enforcement than a sudden spike in sales to people under 19. Interior Health says the region’s tobacco compliance
program has recorded a compliance rate this year of 88 per cent throughout the district, with that number at 83 per cent in Kamloops. That’s compared to a compliance rate of 98 per cent in 2012. Jen Jacobsen, who oversees the compliance program, says the change is likely largely due to the health authority concentrating its monitoring on retailers that are considered at a higher risk to sell to minors.

New four-lane highway opens By Richard Rolke Vernon Morning Star
A highway born out of tragedy and heartache is being celebrated as a route to the future. Hundreds of residents turned out Friday for the official opening of the new four-lane, nine-kilometre Highway 97 between Oyama and Winfield. “I’m just thrilled it’s open,” said Noreen Guenther, a former Lake Country councillor who led the campaign to replace the old twolane road along Wood Lake because of constant accidents, many fatal. “It was something we needed to fix.” The loss of life was front and centre for Norm Letnick, KelownaLake Country MLA, as he took part in Friday’s festivities.
“A lot of people were getting hurt and dying on the old highway,” he said. “This is going to mean a lot fewer police officers will have to give bad news to families.” The speed limit will be 100 kilometres an hour. “I pray we all continue to drive with due diligence,” said Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MP. Construction on the $77.9 million project began two years ago, and it includes two overpasses to connect the old highway to the new one, and two underpasses to provide access to Crown land. “I’ve been watching this (work) for two years because it’s going past my house,” said June Hughes, an Oyama resident. “It’s a big event, pretty impressive. It will be a wonderful road.”
Green MLA downplays potential leadership role By Jeff Nagel Black Press
The B.C. Green Party’s first elected MLA is so far playing down the possibility he may replace the outgoing Jane Sterk as the party’s leader. Andrew Weaver said he won’t take on the role of interim leader and prefers someone else do that while he learns the ropes of MLA work and advancing the Green cause in the Legislature. “The next few years will see many challenges for the province, and possible opportunities for the party, should by-elections be held,” said the noted climate scientist and new Green MLA for Oak Bay-
Gordon Head. “I recognize that in the lead up to the 2017 election, should I decide to seek re-election, and if I am the only sitting Green party MLA, then it would be natural to seek leadership of the party at that time.” Sterk announced this month she will resign Aug. 24, adding she hopes Weaver runs. She said in an interview she leaves the leadership with the party strong and well-positioned. Greens might have captured more seats had the May provincial election not suddenly narrowed in the final days from a previously anticipated NDP win, Sterk added.
There had been a chance, she said, of a Green breakout, mirroring that of the fledgling BC Liberal party in the 1991 election against the NDP and then-ruling Socreds. “The conditions of the election were not amenable to getting more Greens elected,” Sterk said. “This election was just a really weird election. There was a lot of fear-based stuff that happened at the end that moved people away from considering an NDP government.” Sterk said she doesn’t regret running against Carole James in the ex-NDP leader’s Victoria stronghold instead of targeting a different seat.
Powerex agrees to pay Californians $750 million Jeff Nagel Black Press
BC Hydro’s electricity export arm has agreed to pay Californians $750 million to settle accusations it overcharged during the state’s energy crisis of 200001 and avoid the risk of a much higher court-ordered penalty. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Friday the settlement
by Powerex won’t drive up electricity rates in B.C., although part of the payment will be recouped from a five per cent rate rider that already applies to Hydro customers. “This was an extremely difficult decision to come to but a very necessary decision to protect British Columbia taxpayers from an unpredictable result
in the U.S. court system,” Bennett said. He maintains BC Hydro did nothing wrong in the years when other power sellers did manipulate energy prices to California amid rolling blackouts, triggering lawsuits for refunds from dozens of sellers, including Powerex. But he says fighting on could have been much more expensive,
because U.S. regulators already partly ruled against the targeted utilities in a blanket judgment. Powerex faced a possible $3.2-billion penalty if it lost, he said, and that would have come after years of fighting in U.S. courts, stacking up $125 million a year in interest and a projected legal bill of $50 million.

Totem pole raising marks first in over a century By Shaun Thomas The Northern View
The beach at Windy Bay on Lyell Island was packed with over 400 people last Thursday to witness the first totem pole raising in Gwaii Haanas in more than a century. The ceremony that proceeded the raising of the 42-foot Gwaii Haanas Legacy Pole began shortly after one p.m. as the sounds of drumming and song filled the air and Chiefs welcomed canoes to the site, followed briefly by speeches by on-site dignitaries. Both Archipelago Management Board (AMB) representative Ernie Gladstone and Haida Nation President Peter Lantin noted this historic event was owed to the Haida who ensured Gwaii Haanas was protected from development. “All of us here are excited to be here and help raise the Gwaii Haanas Legacy Pole, but I think we are also here to honour the people who were standing on Lyell Island back in 1985 who made Gwaii Haanas what it is today. We are also here to recognize 20 years of the Gwaii Haanas agreement ... 20 years later, even today, it is referred to as an agreement ahead of its time,” said Ernie Gladstone of the AMB. “We all stand here today because of everyone who stood the line on Lyell, here on these lands. And for that the Haida Nation and all of Canada is grateful,” said
Lantin. As well as acknowledging the past, both Lantin and Gladstone spoke of the significance of raising the first totem pole in Gwaii Haanas in over 130 years and what it means to the future of Haida Gwaii. “It’s a great day to be Haida ... we will ensure that Haida Nations and values are the test by which decisions are made on this land and in these waters and I am sure we will be celebrating many more successes in the years ahead,” said Lantin. “We’re ensuring that Haida culture continues here in Gwaii Haanas. We know that there are several other poles ... but those poles aren’t going to last forever. They are going to return to the ground where they belong and it is important that we begin the process of reviving totem poles in Gwaii Haanas,” added Gladstone. Following speeches, the poles were blessed as per Haida tradition, and those in attendance were invited to make an offering to the pole by depositing something in the hole where the pole was to be placed. Everyone on the beach, Haida and non-Haida alike, came together to raise the pole using nothing but ropes and large wooden poles as was used in the past. When the pole was fully lifted, the crowd burst out into song and dance in

Toronto cop charged in streetcar shooting
THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - Ontario’s police watchdog has charged a Toronto police officer with second-degree murder in the shooting death of an 18-year-old man on a streetcar. Sammy Yatim died last month after being shot multiple times and Tasered on Briefs an empty streetcar. Nine shots can be heard on cellphone videos that captured the incident, following shouts for Yatim to drop a knife. The final six shots appear to come after Yatim had already fallen to the floor of the streetcar. The Special Investigations Unit announced today they have charged Const. James Forcillo with second-degree murder. The SIU says Forcillo has arranged through his lawyer to turn himself in Tuesday morning, at which time he will be taken into custody and appear in court. “The Director of the Special Investigations Unit Ian Scott, has reasonable grounds to believe that a Toronto Police Service officer committed a criminal offence in relation to the shooting death of 18-year-old Sammy Adib Yatim,” the SIU said in a release.

Only unionized Walmart in Canada votes to decertify THE CANADIAN PRESS WEYBURN, Sask. - Workers at the only unionized Walmart in Canada have voted in favour of decertification. The votes, cast by employees at the Saskatchewan store nearly three years ago, were counted after a decision earlier this week by the Supreme Court. The United Food and Commercial Workers’ union wanted to appeal a labour board decision regarding accusations of unfair labour practices, but the high court refused to hear it. Walmart spokesman Andrew Pelletier says there were 51 votes cast against the union and five in favour of keeping it. He says a formal order to decertify the union will be issued on Wednesday. The union has said that if it lost the vote, it would try to organize again.
Harper intends to prorogue Parliament again THE CANADIAN PRESS WHITEHORSE - Prime Minister Stephen Harper confirmed Monday he intends to pull the plug on what has been a tumultuous session of Parliament that saw his Conservative government rocked to its core by a scandal over Senate expenses. Harper said he will ask the Governor General to prorogue Parliament, hitting the reset button on a parliamentary session dominated by relentless opposition attacks over senatorial spending shenanigans - and how the Prime Minister’s Office tried to make the scandal go away. As a result, instead of gathering in the House of Commons next month as originally scheduled, federal MPs will reconvene on Parliament Hill sometime in October for a new speech from the throne that will set out the government’s agenda. “There will be a new throne speech in the fall,” Harper said during a news conference in Whitehorse, the first of several stops on his annual weeklong tour of northern Canada. “Obviously, the House will be prorogued in anticipation of that. We will come back - October is our tentative timing - and we will obviously have some unfulfilled commitments that we will continue to work on.” The time has come for a new parliament-
ary agenda because most of the promises the Conservatives made in the last election have been fulfilled, Harper said. The economy will remain the primary focus, he added. “The No. 1 priority for this government, I do not have to tell you, will continue to be jobs and the economy.” Harper’s political rivals wasted little time in accusing him of dodging accountability. “People aren’t going to be fooled. This is clearly a desperate government worn out by ethical scandals and mismanagement,” NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said in a statement. “Stephen Harper refuses to answer legitimate questions from the public.” Deputy Liberal leader Ralph Goodale said Harper is trying to avoid answering questions about his former chief of staff’s $90,000 cheque to Sen. Mike Duffy and the questionable travel claims of Sen. Pamela Wallin. “Stephen Harper and his PMO are under fire for several scandals - from the recent Wallin report into potentially fraudulent expenses to the $90,000 cheque in the Wright-Duffy Affair - and are obviously keen to avoid questions and scrutiny by Parliament,” Goodale said in a statement. “While starting a new session is an appropriate way
SUMMIT DETAILING
to provide direction, Parliament has been on a summer recess since June and the prime minister has had plenty of time to write a throne speech.” It’s not the first time Harper has used prorogation, a standard parliamentary tool that has the effect of cancelling the bulk of any legislation that’s still before the House. In December 2008, Harper prorogued rather than face a vote of nonconfidence when his Conservatives held a minority government and the Liberals, New Democrats and Bloc Quebecois were threatening his grip on power. He prorogued again the following year, halting House of Commons committee hearings into the treatment of Afghan detainees and killing a number of pieces of legislation. Prorogation jumped into the headlines again last fall when then-Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty, embroiled in a number of scandals, resigned as Liberal leader and called a halt to business at the provincial legislature. In Ottawa, Senate reform legislation is just one of several bills that will die on the order paper. That bill - which would set nine-year term limits for senators and create a mechanism for elections to the
upper chamber - is a version of previously introduced legislation from 2010. A controversy over expense claims has engulfed the Senate in recent months. The RCMP are currently investigating a number of senators - Duffy and former Conservative colleague Patrick Brazeau, as
well as ex-Liberal Mac Harb. Other legislation to be affected by prorogation includes changes to the Canada Elections Act to establish new rules for political loans, and a private member’s bill that would require labour unions to publish detailed financial information.

Carbon tax has little impact on fuel consumption
C
arbon taxes have been attracting renewed attention. Last month Ottawa-based think tank Sustainable Prosperity (SP) issued a report claiming that B.C.’s carbon tax has triggered a rapid-fire decline in fossil fuel consumption, leading to a sizable drop in emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Then a few days later a local consulting firm published a paper suggesting that the average household in B.C. benefits financially from the carbon tax because of offsetting personal income tax relief measures introduced by the government. Within North America, B.C. is a pioneer in carbon pricing. Initially set at $10 per ton of GHG emissions in 2008, the carbon tax rose to reach $30/ton in July 2012. The government has now frozen the tax for five years. To date, no other province or state has instituted the type of broad carbon pricing regime found in B.C. What difference has it made? Sustainable Prosperity says the carbon tax has had a dramatic effect on energy consumption, despite its short life.
They estimate that fossil fuel consumption in B.C. has fallen by 17.4 per cent, measured on a per person basis, since 2008. Relative to the rest of Canada, the decline is even greater almost 19 per cent. In explaining this big decline in per capita fuel consumption, the SP authors focus largely on the role of the carbon tax. To an economist, this is a surprising assertion that seems inconsistent with mainstream economic analyses indicating that the demand for energy is price inelastic. This means that most consumers, in response to a modest increase in tax-inclusive prices, are unlikely to significantly change the amount or type of energy used. For vehicle operators, B.C.’s carbon tax currently translates into an extra 6.7 cents for a litre of regular fuel (which today costs $1.45 in Metro Vancouver); in comparison, Translink’s regional fuel levy is 17 cents/litre. B.C.’s carbon tax also boosts the prices of other transportation fuels, such as diesel, on which local businesses rely to transport goods. Similarly, it raises the cost of other forms of

fossil fuel energy, including natural gas to heat buildings and operate industrial facilities, and energy inputs used for resource processing and manufacturing. In theory, the carbon tax should cause businesses to modify their energy choices and production processes. Some have undoubtedly done so. But since there are few or no cost-effective substitutes for fossil fuel in most transportation and industrial uses, the carbon tax also creates incentives for some B.C. businesses to reduce output or shift production and investment to other locations where energy taxes are lower. The SP report doesn’t examine other factors, apart from the carbon tax, which have influenced reported energy use in B.C.
since 2008. These include the sharp decline in production and employment in the forest sector following the collapse of U.S. housing markets (forestry is the largest industrial consumer of energy in the province); various developments that have dampened fuel consumption in the lower mainland (completion of the Canada Line, higher regional parking taxes, the rising TransLink fuel levy, and steep increases in parking meter rates in Vancouver); and the effective mothballing of B.C. Hydro’s Burrard Thermal gas-fired power plant, which prior to 2008 made a meaningful contribution to domestic electricity supply. Another relevant factor is the surge in crossborder shopping. The past five years have seen a doubling in the number of British Columbians visiting Washington state, most of whom fill their tanks while there (many B.C. truckers and commercial vehicle owners also buy fuel in the U.S. and in Alberta). Growing cross-border fuel purchases artificially lower reported energy consumption here in B.C. What about the eco-
nomic effects of the carbon tax? SP argues it has had little impact on B.C.’s macroeconomic performance, because the carbon tax revenues have been fully recycled back into the economy through personal and business tax relief measures. This claim makes sense. However, the rising energy costs stemming from the carbon tax have hurt some B.C. export industries, as well as manufacturers that compete with imports in the domestic market. In aggregate, the government’s “tax shift” policy has imposed a net financial burden on businesses: the carbon tax paid by all B.C. enterprises (about $600 million per year) exceeds the revenues they save from slightly lower business tax rates. And with the provincial government’s recent decision to lift B.C.’s corporate tax rate from 10 to 11 per cent, any economic benefits accruing to the business sector as a whole under the carbon tax regime will be further diminished. Jock Finlayson is Executive Vice President of the Business Council of British Columbia.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES - “Lee Daniels’ The Butler” is serving up success at the box office. According to studio estimates Sunday, the Weinstein Co. biopic about a White House butler debuted in the top spot with $25 million. But the weekend’s three other new offerings - the action romp “Kick-Ass 2,” Open Road’s Steve Jobs biopic “Jobs” and the dramatic thriller “Paranoia” - failed to find traction with fans. Universal’s “Kick-Ass 2” debuted in fourth place with $13.56 million. “Jobs” opened in seventh with $6.7 million. And Relativity’s “Paranoia” didn’t crack the top 12. Last week’s No. 1 film, Sony’s “Elysium,” dropped to third place with $13.6 million. The Jason Sudeikis-Jennifer Aniston comedy, “We’re the Millers,” held onto second place with $17.78 million, while Disney’s animated “Planes” rounds out the top five.

TV LISTINGS Singer cancels Canadian tour THE CANADIAN PRESS HALIFAX - The promoter of four Chris Brown concerts in Canada scheduled for this summer says the events have been cancelled. Stephen Tobin, owner of Drop Entertainment Group, says the decision was made after consulting Brown and in light of his recent personal and health-related issues. Brown was scheduled to perform in Halifax, Saint John, N.B., Toronto and Winnipeg. On Friday, the R&B star had his probation reinstated and was sentenced to 1,000 hours of community labour after he was involved in an alleged hit-and-run accident.

Egypt, and the European Union is talking about cutting aid to the country, but there are no decisive measures available to anybody outside the Arab world, and no willingness to act within it. There will be no major military intervention in Syria either, although outside countries both within the Arab world and beyond it will continue to drip-feed supplies to their preferred side. And the Iraqi government’s request last Friday for renewed US military aid to stave off renewed civil war there has no hope of success. Getting involved again militarily in Iraq would be political suicide for Obama. So what’s left of the Arab spring? On the face of it, not much. Tunisia, where the first democratic revolution started three years ago, still totters forward, and there is more democracy in Morocco than there used to be, but that’s about it. The non-violent democratic revolutions that have worked so well in many other parts of the world are not doing very well in the Arab world. There may be many reasons for this, but one stands out above all the others. In the Arab world, unlike most other places, two rival solutions to the existing autocracy, poverty and oppression compete for popular support: democracy and Islamism. The result, in one country after another, is that the autocrats exploit that division to retain or regain power. Democracy may win in the end, but it is going to be a very long struggle.

Mindset to shine light on worst
An editorial from the Truro Daily News What could potentially serve as a useful, informative tool is in some instances turning into an unleashed monster. Woe betide those considering a run for public office in this day of social media. The mayor of Toronto is an unfortunate example of this frenzy. Rob Ford has come under intense scrutiny in the past couple of years - and certainly a case can be made that he’s brought some of his troubles upon himself through questionable judgment. But the latest salvo from an overly zealous public simply caught the mayor on video at a street festival in the city having a couple of beers. That should be pretty unremarkable
for anyone. But once posted online, the images come under the scrutiny of everyone critical of this mayor, and he is accused of being drunk in public. Although these shots didn’t show Ford carrying on, or offkilter, all it takes is hype to get a `drunk in public’ allegation up and running. Greg Elmer of Toronto’s Ryerson University said people have turned into “social media paparazzi” where public figures are concerned. In Ford’s case it comes following still unresolved questions of an alleged video appearing to show Ford smoking crack cocaine. Sidneyeve Matrix, a social media expert at Queen’s University in Kingston, compared this latest expose to a “TMZ mindset,” with people
“interested in looking at images of celebrities and other public figures when they’re at their worst.” The voyeuristic trend to peek into the private lives of celebs and political leaders has increased in past decades. It’s reaching a zenith with the capabilities provided by cellphone cameras and instant Internet access. Couple that with the eagerness of some viewers to trash the subject through comments and we have given way to a presumption of guilt in evaluating people. What are the implications in Toronto, or Nova Scotia, or anywhere? Prospective candidates for office have yet another tough consideration to make before deciding to commit.

ROBERT TAYLOR
Wildlife photographer started polar bear tours THE CANADIAN PRESS WINNIPEG - A Manitoban whose images of polar bears, musk ox, beluga whales, great grey owls and prairie bison made him one of North America’s foremost wildlife photographers has died. Robert Taylor, who was 73, died of cancer Thursday at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg. Taylor was part of a small group that helped start polar bear tourism in northern Manitoba. He captured some of the first close-up polar bear pictures along the Hudson Bay coastline and worked with local entrepreneurs to develop tundra buggy tours near Churchill. His images have appeared in many national and international magazines, including Equinox, International Wildlife, Life and Canadian Geographic He published several books on the Manitoba landscape, the area around Hudson Bay and the great grey owl - an animal that, along with polar bears, became a life-long obsession. For 30 years, he also led shutterbugs on tours of Canada’s far North, South America, the United States and Africa. Taylor’s career spanned decades. He opened a photography shop in downtown Winnipeg, formed a publishing house and eventually branched out to wild places beyond the shores of Hudson Bay. He visited Point Pelee National Park in Ontario for 51 consecutive springs to photograph migrating songbirds. His tours for avid photographers took him as far away as Alaska, the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Tobago, Kenya and Tanzania. Photography garnered him an impressive list of accolades. He is one of the few photographers to be accepted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Taylor’s artistic bent also expressed itself in painting and bird carving. His love affair with the outdoors stemmed from childhood adventures with buddies roaming green spaces outside Toronto and later in around Scarborough, Ont.

Toronto man wins contest to create new Tim Hortons doughnut THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A dreamed-up doughnut that melds together chocolate, caramel and pecans has earned its inventor $10,000 and the knowledge he beat out 63,000 entries in a Tim Hortons contest. Toronto’s Andrew Shepherd was crowned the winner of the Duelling Donuts competition on Monday. The 39-year-old dubbed his creation The Tortoise Torte, which won against the runner-up doughnut The Oreo Borealis. “I was ecstatic,” Shepherd said. “It’s kind of surreal.” He said his doughnut uses a vanilla base and plays on flavours that are already merged together in other treats such as ice cream and candy. “I wanted to come up with a classicflavoured combination,” he said. A panel of judges that included actor Jason Priestley whittled down the pool of applicants to eight finalists, with doughnuts such as Monkey C-Donut, Monkey Do-Nut and S’more Of It. Priestley, best known for his role on the show “Beverly Hills 90210,” was recruited for the contest after a cameo
on the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” last February. The episode joked that Canadians are a doughnut-eating people, with the Vancouver-born actor touting the invention of The Priestley doughnut in a fake documentary. His namesake is a strawberry-vanilla doughnut stuffed with a chocolate Timbit. Tim Hortons had a chef whip up the fictional pastry, and the public’s reaction spawned the idea of a contest where people could submit their own doughnut ideas. Priestley said he enjoyed his role as a judge. “It was a quintessential Canadian moment and I’ll remember it - and all the doughnut I ate - for years to come,” he said in a statement. “The Tortoise Torte was nothing short of awesome, and, who knows, it may become a new favourite for Tims fans across Canada.” The contest launched in June and after judges narrowed down the contenders, online voting was the final step to choose a winner. Shepherd, who works in the health-
care industry, said a “grassroots campaign” from friends and family helped him to win the contest through wordof-mouth. He said he wants to thank those people with a party complete with “a lot of doughnuts.” His second priority is to take his wife on a trip to Switzerland - a luxury he said was previously out of his budget. “It’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to go,” he said. “I’m a bit of a foodie, and they have cheese and chocolate there which are my two favourite foods.” Tim Hortons has said it would use the winning doughnut as inspiration for a new menu item. Shepherd said seeing his imagined pastry in reality, sitting on Tim Hortons shelves, would add to his recent “rollercoaster” experience. “I’d be able to go into any store anywhere and see something I created,” he said, adding that he chose to enter the contest as a creative outlet and not just because of a possible windfall. “It was a fun thing to do,” he said. “I do think Canadians are pretty fond of their doughnuts.”

Times Sports Editor
The B.C. Senior Games get set to kick off today and local teams and athletes were getting in their final workout on the weekend in preparation for the big event. Close to 180 athletes and coaches from the KootenayBoundary Zone 6 team will compete in the games going Aug. 20-24 in Kamloops and are looking for good results. “That’s our second biggest (team) ever,” said Zone 6 registrar and slo-pitch coordinator Fred Simister. “The Games here were the biggest and last year we only had like a 104 go to Vancouver.” While athletes were getting their final training runs and practices in, Simister and a combined squad of 55-69 and 60-64-year-old softball players challenged a local slo-pitch team, the Blasters, Thursday as a primer for the round robin tournament. “We do this every year, and it’s just a way to get everybody ready for the Games, and make
sure we have the numbers going into the tournament,” said Simister. “Our slo-pitch is very similar to fastball rules, so it’s really quite good.” In the past 10 Senior Games Simister has been the slopitch coordinator and the team has won a medal every year except for one, that included both teams winning a silver medal when Trail, Castlegar, and Nelson hosted the event in 2011. The 60-64 team is guaranteed to keep that streak going this year with just three teams competing, while in the 55-60 category, there will be five teams playing for gold. The biggest challenge for teams going into the Games is to keep players off the injured list, and head into the Games with a full and healthy complement of players. “Quesnel just folded,” said Simister. “They are in the same boat, they just lost five players. It’s the same thing, the odd injury, the odd family situation . . . that’s why you need 13 or 14 per team.”

The 60-64 team will play against Kelowna and Kamloops, while the 55-59 group play teams from Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Kamloops, and Kelowna. “For us there is a lot of new guys this year,” said first baseman Carson Eriksen of the 55-59 team. “We got a guy from Creston, a guy from Grand Forks, so it’s been tough getting everybody together, but if we can gel we got a fairly decent team.” Almost 70 athletes from Greater Trail will join the contingent participating in cribbage, cycling, golf, horseshoes, ice curling, ice hockey, pickleball, swimming, slo-pitch, tennis, and whist. The Senior Games athletes will look to improve on last year’s event where the team won a total of 77 medals, including 24 gold, 32 silver, and 21 bronze. Competition begins Wednesday morning at 8 a.m. with opening ceremonies going at 7 p.m. that evening at the Tournament Capital Centre.
The Trail Smoke Eaters hit the ice at Cominco Arena for training camp on Wednesday with a solid complement of veterans returning and promising rookies looking to crack the lineup for the 2013-14 season. “There’s a few boys in town, more comining in today, and more tomorrow, and we’re getting her going Wednesday afternoon,” said Smoke Eater head coach and GM Bill Birks. The Smoke Eaters healthy core of veterans include team captain Adam Wheeldon of Nelson, Trail’s Scott Davidson and Jake Lucchini, Frutivale’s Mitch Foyle, Jesse Knowler of Castlegar, as well as goaltender Adam Todd, Braden Pears, Valik Chichkin, Braeden Jones, and veteran acquisitions in Brodyn Nielson and Brendan Lamont. “We got a good core group coming back, and some pretty good kids coming into camp to battle for a few spots,” added Birks. However, one unfortunate loss, and possibly two, to the Orange and Black will be that of forwards Austin Adduono and Luke Sandler. “Adduono is going to the USHL as of right now,” said Birks. “Sandler is still up in the air.” Birks found out

that Adduono would not be returning when another player Birks was recruiting told him that the Thunder Bay native was playing in the USHL. Sandler, a Chicago native, came on offensively for the Smokies last season, finishing second in team scoring, counting almost a point per game, however his status as to whether he would be at camp is unknown, said Birks.

The Smokies have also solved their brief goaltending vacancy with the addition of Dustin Nikkel from the North Okanagan Knights of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL). Nikkel will compete for the starting position with Todd who supplanted Lyndon Stanwood last season. Stanwood was traded to the Chilliwack Chiefs in June, after playing the better part of two seasons and 70 games for the Smokies. The 20-year-old Nikkel also played three games with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks last year winning twice. While in net for the Knights, Nikkel played in 22

games, posting a 13-71 record, a 2.71 GAA and .922 save percentage. With goaltending seemingly secured, and a defence anchored by Jones, Pears, and Chichkin and the recent acquisition of Alberta product Joel Webb, 18, looking relatively stable, the biggest question again may be scoring. “We need some help obviously everywhere. I mean our goaltending is solidified big time, we got three pretty good D-men coming back . . . there’s eight or nine more coming to fight for a couple spots on the back end and 10 or 12 forwards coming to fight for a couple spots up front . . . I like what we got coming in, it’s going to be a pretty good camp.” The Smokies kick off camp with two practices at 4 and 6 p.m. on Wednesday, followed by scrimmages at 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday, 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Friday, and the BlackOrange game going noon to 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

solheim cup
Europe crushes U.S.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PARKER, Colo. Europe never looked more at home at the Solheim Cup. Especially on the greens. From the 45-foot putt that 17-year-old Charley Hull rolled in to re-ignite the momentum Sunday to the 4-foot tester Caroline Hedwall sank to end what little drama was left, the Europeans owned Colorado Golf Club.
Led by Hull, the youngest player to suit up at the Solheim Cup, and Hedwall, the first player to go 5-0 at this event, Europe romped to a recordsetting 18-10 victory over the Americans and won the cup on U.S. soil for the first time since the event began in 1990. “We took it to them,” Europe’s Suzann Pettersen said, “and they couldn’t answer.”

This was a wire-towire victory, the likes of which very few saw coming. America had more top-20 players (5 to 3), more major-title winners (5 to 3) and more Solheim Cup experience (25 years to 17) to say nothing of more success over the history of this team event (8 victories to 4). But Europe took the lead Friday, took an even firmer grasp of it with a sweep in the best-ball matches Saturday, then closed it out by winning five of 12 matches Sunday and earning halfpoints in five more. This is the first time they’ve defended the cup, which they won two years ago in Ireland. Their eight-point victory was the largest in the history of the event. “In sports you just cannot always predict what’s going to happen,” American Cristie Kerr said.

Calvillo sidelined for B.C. game THE CANADIAN PRESS Jim Popp isn’t banking on quarterback Anthony Calvillo or any of the Montreal Alouettes’ walking wounded returning Thursday night to face the B.C. Lions. Calvillo, who is suspected of having a concussion, was among eight Alouettes injured in their 24-21 road loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday. And given Montreal’s quick turnaround, interim head coach Popp is assuming all eight won’t suit up against B.C. (5-2). “Guys were getting MRIs, seeing doctors (Monday) and (Tuesday) they sit down and get the final word of where they are but we can’t wait on that,” the Alouettes’ general manager said in a telephone interview. “We’ve had to move forward

as though all eight aren’t playing and if you get one or two back, then great. “But we’ve had to go into the thinking mode that we’re not going to have them and move forward.” Calvillo, who will celebrate his 41st birthday Friday, was injured in the first half after taking a hard hit from Saskatchewan defensive end Ricky Foley. Pro football’s all-time passing leader had completed four-of-eight passes for 85 yards at the time with Montreal (2-5) trailing 7-3. Backup Josh Neiswander replaced Calvillo, completing 12-of-30 passes for 147 yards and two interceptions. It was Neiswander’s first CFL regular-season action since signing with Montreal in 2011. “I’ve always said I don’t want to know who our next quarterback is, I hope our starter stays on the field,” Popp said. “That’s a good sign. “You find guys, you prep them and if they are called to play then they go out there and play and either you win with them or you don’t and you realize if they’ve got it or they don’t have it.” If Calvillo doesn’t play against B.C., Popp would expect Neiswander to start but could also see rookie Tanner Marsh getting some playing time. Both took snaps with the starting offence in practice last week prior to Montreal’s game in Regina.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MARS, Pa. - A camouflage-clad bride and groom got a little advice from a bewhiskered witness on their wedding day: “Duck Dynasty” star Willie Robertson. WTAE-TV reports Robertson told the couple to always love and forgive one another as they were wed Saturday morning at a Field & Stream store near Pittsburgh. Robertson popped in for the nuptials of Mehgan Cook, who sported a camouflage sash on her dress, and Charlie Miller, who was completely clad in camo gear. The two hadn’t planned on marrying at the store but Cook said they were eager to meet Robertson. “I was going to cancel the wedding ‘cause I heard Willie was coming,” Cook told KDKA-TV. Instead, Cook said, her mother came up with the idea of a wedding at the store - and they got a surprise when Robertson appeared during the ceremony. “That’s a first for me, it’s good to be a part of that,” Robertson said. “They look like my kind of folks with the camouflage . that was cool.” On the “Duck Dynasty” Season 4 premiere, which aired Wednesday, family members threw a surprise wedding for patriarch Phil Robertson, wearing a black jacket over camouflage garb, and his wife, Miss Kay. They could only afford a justice of the peace when they married 48 years ago. The show drew 11.8 million viewers on the A&E channel, making it the No. 1 non-fiction series telecast in U.S. cable television history in total viewers as well as all key demographic groups. Cook said she had been engaged to another man, but he died in a car crash four years ago. But she met Miller at the scene and eventually the two started dating. “I never thought it would happen again,” Cook said, tearing up.

TV LISTINGS Lindsay Lohan
Actress says troubled past behind her THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Lindsay Lohan says this time it’s going to be different. In an interview that aired Sunday with Oprah Winfrey, the trouble-prone actress declared that this, her sixth stint in rehab, has put her on a path of recovery. Lohan said she’s in “a different head space” now and vowed to stay “present and clearheaded and focused.” “I feel whole again,” she told Winfrey, “and I have such a desire to want to keep this feeling and stay this way, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes.” Lohan, 27, completed her latest courtordered stay in rehab in July. She must continue therapy into late next year. She acknowledged an addiction to alcohol, which “in the past was a gateway to other things for me,” but she offered no specifics other than cocaine, which she said she has used no more than 15 times. Winfrey asked her what she’s on these days. Lohan replied, “Vitamins.” “You’re not on any prescription drugs?” Winfrey pressed. “No, no,” Lohan insisted, then checked herself: “I take Nexium. Because I have acid reflux.” Clad in a form-fitting orange dress, Lohan said a comfort level with her past chaotic life had fed her much-reported partying and her brushes with the law. But she added that she takes full blame for her mistakes. When Winfrey asked if she can turn her life around this time, Lohan said with no hesitation, “Yeah.” The interview aired as an episode of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” on the Oprah Winfrey Network, which will spotlight Lohan next year in an eight-part docuseries based on her life. During the hour, an advertisement appeared for Cliffside Malibu, the rehab facility where Lohan was recently residing. That ad boasted of a treatment program so successful, it’s guaranteed. Lohan’s latest film, “The Canyons,” is currently in limited release.

Talk to mom before cutting off family Mailbox
Marcy Sugar & Kathy Mitchell
disheartening that her siblings are so uncaring. They never offer to help, let alone offer words of comfort. Is this normal behavior? The only thing my mother has asked for is moral support from her family, and she has received none. My father, my brother and I feel only animosity toward these family members, knowing how much they have hurt our mother. I think we should forget about them and cut off contact. What do you say? -- Loving Daughter Dear Daughter: We don’t know why your aunts and uncles haven’t been more supportive. In some families, one person often
hall with all the bells and whistles. Since we already gave a card and a check at the first reception, are we obligated to give another? If so, how much? I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. -- Confused About the Etiquette Dear Confused: You aren’t giving a gift in honor of a reception. You are giving a wedding gift to the couple. Since you already have done so, you are under no obligation to present them with another. However, if you feel obligated to bring something to the latest reception, it could be a small gift with sentiment attached, such as a framed photograph of the couple. Dear Annie: I feel compelled to write to “Can’t Believe Adults Act This Way,” whose daughter is being bullied by other teachers at her school. You suggested the main bully craves power and control, thinks the daughter is a threat and could
be insecure. This is happening to me right now. I am a veteran teacher of 29 years. The principal is indeed as you described. She has wanted me gone for the past four years and has made outrageous accusations that I have
had to defend with the union. I realized, also, that this was draining my energy to teach. My advice for this first-year teacher is to look for a new job where she feels comfortable and can teach and do what she is trained for and
not waste her energy on bullies. She sounds like a promising teacher who needs to be planted in fertile soil where she can flourish. -- Looking for Something Better Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar.

becomes a “caregiver” by virtue of his or her personality. It sounds as if your mother is that person. It means her siblings do not know how to respond appropriately in caregiving situations because they never have had to do so. Before you decide to cut them off, please let your mother decide. She may prefer to forgive them and continue the relationships, although with a more limited set of expectations. Dear Annie: My niece was married at city hall nearly two years ago. My wife and I attended the ceremony, and afterward, we went to lunch. Two weeks later, they had a small catered reception at his grandmother’s house. My wife and I attended and gave them a card with a check. Now they want to have their wedding blessed in a church.

Dear Annie: Three years ago, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer and then a brain tumor. She has had numerous surgeries and treatments. Mom is the youngest of five siblings. The whole time she has been fighting this disease, her siblings have been unsupportive. In three years, one uncle has visited twice and called twice. Another lives less than two miles away, but has stopped by for a total of one hour. His wife and kids have neither visited nor phoned. My aunt speaks to my mother about twice a year. She never visits. She also yells at Mom and is rude to her. She has managed to convince my 84-year-old grandmother that these arguments are my parents’ fault. Several years ago, this same aunt had cancer, and my mother was there for her all the time -- like family should be. I find it hurtful and
