ARNE PETRYSHEN PHOTOS

On Monday night hundreds of people lined up near the Sandman Inn as the stars of Heartland stopped in Cranbrook for an often times intimate photo signing and picture taking event. Amber Marshall and Graham Wardle, known for their roles as Amy Fleming and Ty Borden on the CBC television series, were taking part in the Cruise with a Cause six day motorcycle marathon for prostate cancer. The stop in Cranbrook was on the second day of their trip, next they headed to Kamloops then Kelowna and back towards the Lower Mainland. Fans who waited in line and donated money to the cause even got a little one-on-one time with Fleming and Wardle, who were more than happy to meet and pose for pictures with each individual. Mayor Wayne Stetski and two Sam Steele Sweethearts were there representing the city and the band One Bullet Down provided some tunes. To follow along on the stars’ ride, go to www.cruisewithacause.ca.

Vehicle thefts on the rise in Cranbrook, Kimberley C AROLYN GR ANT AND BARRY COULTER

Both Kimberley and Cranbrook detachments are noting an increase in thefts of vehicles and thefts from vehicles in the past few months.

Cpl. Chris Newel of the Kimberley Detachment says that between the two cities there were 13 vehicles stolen in July and 14 in August. There were also six attempts to steal vehicles in August. Additionally there were 42 thefts of items from vehicles in July, and 40 in August.

Newel says that while the majority of these thefts occurred in Cranbrook, residents of both communities need to be vigilant about securing

their vehicles and making sure valuables are removed.

Some of the stolen vehicles in Cranbrook include: • A 1996 black Dodge Ram, licence plate number FC9441. The truck was stolen overnight, August 24/25, from the 100 Block of 14th Ave South, Cranbrook. The vehicle has a lift kit and big tires.

• A 1997 green Ford F150 was stolen from the 300 block of 15th Ave. South, Cranbrook, on August 19. The truck has a licence plate of (ES1471) but it does not belong on that vehicle. The VIN is 1FTDF1867VLA78523.

Season of bears C A RO LYN GR AN T Daily Bulletin

COURTESY RCMP

Thieves rip the housing off the steering column to steal a car, hotwiring the ignition.

Although there is no formal Bear Aware program to track movement of bears in Kimberley this year due to a funding miscommunication, there is plenty of anecdotal evidence around town suggesting that black bears have moved in.

There are reports of visits by Ursus Americanus all over town, and as usual, the problem seems to be badly managed attractants.

This is the time of year to take extra care with attractants of all sorts. Make sure your garbage is stowed securely in a bear proof location, or if it is getting especially fragrant in the late summer BULLETIN FILE PHOTO heat, don’t wait until garbage pick up day — take a trip to the Attractants of any kind, from birdfeeders to fruit trees to household garbage, transfer station.

need to managed carefully at this time See BEARS , Page 3 of year.

The Kootenay Country Fair is celebrating its 36th year of bringing together crafters and harvesters in the autumn.

The event takes place Sunday, Sept. 8, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the historic ambiance of Fort Steele Heritage Town.

The event will include a petting zoo, entertainers, strolling minstrels, wagon rides, children’s games, commercial tables and access to the entire heritage town.

There will also be demonstrations in wheat threshing, blacksmithing, gold panning, visual arts, carvers and other activities of yesteryear.

Fort Steele’s historic setting adds to the atmosphere of the country fair.

The main attraction of the day is of course the exhibition of crafts and produce that people

have put their time into growing and creating.

There are various categories to enter into from best photograph to most unusual vegetable to best decorated cookie.

There is even a “Reduce, Reuse & Recycle” category where children and adults create artistic or utilitarian items out of recycled material.

Admission includes access to the heritage town as well as the many activities throughout the day.

In the morning, there will be a pancake breakfast, and at lunch a barbecue at the International Hotel.

There will also be snacks available from vendors throughout the day.

Entry forms must be received by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3, which can be mailed in, either online to kootenaycountryfair1@gmail. com or through the

The zombies will walk again in Cranbrook next month. Last year the walk brought out 150 or so of the area’s undead population and this year Zombie Walk 2013 organizer Chad Engelhardt is hoping to bring to life even more.

The zombies all meet up to become a horde on 8th Avenue on October 5 and make their way downtown across baker street.

“Everyone dresses up and we have a whole bunch of zombies walking down Baker Street,” Engelhardt said.

Instead of craving brains, these zombies are bringing items for the Cranbrook Food Bank.

“We’re going to collect food items as entry,” explained Engelhardt.

“When you bring a food items you’re going to get raffle tickets for the prize draw.”

Engelhardt said he decided to start the Zombie Walk when he no-

ticed most towns have the events, but Cranbrook wasn’t one of them. It was also a good opportunity to gather donations for the food bank.

“So I planned one and we had it last year,” he said. “It went pretty well.

The weather was fairly nice and we had about150 people come.

We raised $1,500 (in donations) for the food bank. It was pretty good last year, I’m hoping this year is going to be better.”

M&M Meats will be on hand serving food and there will be music. There will also be pageant style awards for best dressed zombies.

He said this year is coming together and with less than a month to go, time is of the essence.

The organizing committee is still looking for businesses who want to donate time, services or products for pageant prizes.

The golf cart stolen from Bootleg Gap Golf Course (an example pictured above) on Saturday, Aug. 24, was located August 27 in the bush approximately 3.5 km up St. Mary’s Lake Road. There was damage to the front end, likely a result of suspects attempting to drive it off road. Police are continuing their investigation, but if you know who was operating the cart, please call Kimberley RCMP at 250 427-4811.

This is not a sight you want to see when hiking. These two grizzlies may be the same ones that were hanging out on the ski hill earlier this summer, as well as being seen on the Lois Creek Trails. They were photographed in the area of the War Zone run at KAR last week. Please use caution when hiking.

Berry Bushes • Berries should be picked as they ripen.

• Consider replacing your bushes with native, non-fruiting varieties if you don’t want the fruit.

• Consider using electric fencing to protect your fruit trees.

Bird Feeders • Use bird feeders only in the winter when bears are hibernating and natural bird food is limited.

• Use bird baths or native plants to attract birds without attracting bears.

Compost • The key to a healthy compost is ensuring equal amounts of brown and green materials.

The following tips come from Bear Aware BC. Garbage • Store garbage in a secure building until collection day or consider purchasing a bear-resistant household container.

• Ensure bins are tightly closed.

• Regularly wash all recycling items and clean the bins that contain garbage or recycling.

• Do not leave garbage in the back of a truck, even if it has a canopy.

• If you cannot store garbage securely, freeze smelly items and add to the bin only on the morning of collection.

Fruit Trees • Pick fruit and allow it to ripen indoors or pick daily as it ripens. Do not allow windfall to accumulate on the ground.

• If you do not want the fruit,

Car thefts on the rise in Cranbrook, Kimberley Continued from page 1 • A 2007 white Dodge Caliber, license plate 188SDG, stolen from Kal Tire on Theatre Road in July.

And there have been thefts in Kimberley as well, such as a truck taken in Townsite earlier this month which resulted in multiple charges to the driver.

Kimberley RCMP are also following up on the theft of a golf cart.

The golf cart stolen from Bootleg Gap Golf Course on Saturday August 24, was located August 27 in the bush approximately 3.5 km up St. Mary’s Lake Road. There was damage to the front end, likely a result of suspects attempting to drive it off road, Newel says.

Police often remind residents that the theft of vehicles are often a crime of opportunity. If your vehicle is left unlocked, if there are valuable items visible, it increases the risk of theft.

And small town or not, leaving your keys in the vehicle is an invitation, Newel says.

Hondas are listed in the top 10 stolen cars in Canada; although all vehicles are potential targets the thefts reported here follow a similar trend.

Newel offers some tips from the Insurance Bureau of Canada: It’s important to remember that a professional thief can steal your car in about 30 seconds. But there are a few simple precautions that you can take to help make the thief’s target a little harder to reach: • Never leave your vehicle running unattended • Park in well-lit areas.

• Always roll up your car windows, lock the doors, pocket and protect your keys.

• Never leave valuables or packages in full view. Put them in the trunk.

• Park your car in the garage at night.

Punk rock icon playing Cranbrook show Ferdy Bell and

“NoMeansNo’s on a leave of absence right now,” says punk-rock legend Tom Holliston.

“We finished our last European tour in June, and we’re not playing any more live shows until we compose new material. I’m taking the opportunity to focus on my solo songwriting; I haven’t done any solo acoustic gigs in five years.”

Which is understandable. The acclaimed prog-punk power trio has been soldiering along strong and tall for over 30 years, having achieved Gold status for continual album sales and winning hundreds of thousands of fans (especially a rabid European following) on the strength of their live shows and the affable tongue-in-cheekiness of the bandmembers’ collective personas.

They’ve shared stages with Peter Gabriel and Sepultura and have

Tom Holliston onstage with NoMeansNo even maxed out Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre (in 2000). And now he’ll be performing his personal brand of artsy folk-rock at Lotus Books on Tuesday, Sept. 10.

“I wish inspiration did pop out of nowhere, and with great regularity,” Holliston says, describing his songwriting process. “It’s just not so.

Sometimes I can start

and finish a new song in an hour. Usually the topic of the song comes first, and the verses unfold as a series of explanations. There are always little scraps of paper tucked away in drawers and cupboards with the verse of a theme, scrawled in haste. So I’ll pick one out and see if I can’t expand upon it.”

Holliston’s tourmate is guitarist-vocalist Byron Slack, frontman for Vancouver’s amazing prog-punkers The Invasives, and with Slack’s own acoustic persona coming forth, the pairing is indeed a complimentary one: “Byron is a great guy and very easy to tour with. That he writes and plays some fantastic and unique music is a big plus. His memory capacity is staggering! His recitations - he must know 500 or more poems alone - can be full of mirth, illuminating...some could bring a tear to the eye of a stoic.”

Buying local is logical, beneficial, and highly efficient. Buying local creates the economic leverage that is vital to the dynamism of OUR region. By working together we can support our local economy.

And Holliston is also one of the few working artists who can honestly say he does things his own way. His solo music draws all sorts of seemingly-disparate musical styles together, and his lyrics are humorously bizarre at times, but that’s who he is and one can like it or lump it.

Most seem to like it.

“Do what you do,” Holliston advises artists and musicians. “One always makes compromises, but most of them are not musical, so be prepared. Be comfort-

able with waiting. If you’re serious about forming a decent band, it always forms around a good drummer. No matter how good of players your bandmates may be: if you’re committed to touring and they’re not, drop them immediately - bandmates must all share the same focus.

Don’t let others waste your time.”

Being one of the original Canadian punk rockers to still be treading the boards today, Holliston was asked if there were any surprises

The Cranbrook and District Arts Council are launching art documentary screenings, starting with a special screening by local film maker Emmy Willis.

Using the natural beauty of the Kootenay landscape as backdrop of the series, Lost & Found Videos is a oneyear long exploration that uncovers and documents a mixture of inspiring lifestyles embedded in the region.

Lost & Found Videos, funded by the Columbia Basin Trust and The Columbia Kootenays Cultural Alliance, documents the practice of local artists, makers, and farmers in six short episodes with the intention of contributing to the cultural exchange of passed-down wisdom and new innovative ideas that are unique to the Kootenays.

Episodes include a Radium woodcarver living in A House of 1,000 Faces, a Fernie letterpress print-shop, a wild crafter tea maker in Kimberley, sustainable beekeeping at the

I.D.E.A.L. Society in Jaffray, a taqueria stand using locally sourced ingredients in Kaslo, and a Cacti Greenhouse of over 100 varieties in Creston. The series also showcase music from local performing artists.

Emmy Willis is an independent media artist recently graduated from Emily Carr University of Art & Design with a bachelor degree in Media Arts. Current work continues to center around community-engaged initiatives with a focus of documentary filmmaking.

Directed by Emmy Willis. Featuring Rolf Heer, Michael Hepburn, Shannon Duncan, Betty Gutierrez, Yann Loranger, and Lorraine Scott.

Music by HUMANS, Arrange, Redgirl, and James Lamb. Funded by the Columbia Basin Trust and Kootenay Cultural Alliance.

Screening takes place Friday September 13th, 7.30-9 pm at the CDAC gallery location 135 10th Avenue South, and includes a Q&A with Emmy Willis who will be present for the

The documentaries are excellent not only for long time art-enthusiasts or newcomers to art, but both teachers and students of art and art history, although some content may not be suitable for younger audiences and viewer discretion is advised.

Exuberant secrets of the Kootenays “What a day this has been, what a rare state I’m in…”

Alan Jay Lerner

O

ne evening, during those hot days of August, I had a call from a stranger. I was in a very cheerful mood so I picked up the phone. The caller, a man who told me his name, announced that he was doing a survey and was asking folk their opinions on how they felt about living here in the East Kootenay.

As I said, I was feeling extremely cheerful that evening, exuberant even, and so politely told the caller that, although I didn’t have the time to chat about his survey, I had elected to come to the East Kootenay because I’d admired the look of the valley when I first visited, I have lived here for over fifty years, loved my life here and, what is more, I had no intention of leaving until, as they say, ‘I shuffled off this mortal coil’.

The reason for my happiness that particular evening was that Paul and I had just returned from an exhilarating day in the local Rocky Mountains. After a few abortive attempts, we’d re-discovered a trail that had led us easily to a high ridge and to a panorama that had taken away our collective breaths.

That trail had been a close-guarded se-

cret of a few local people. We both had known of its existence but had been unable to unravel its secret until that joyful day when we’d heaved our ancient bodies on to the ridge and stared at the panorama before us.

And there was no-one else there, virtually no evidence of human activity but for a small pile of rocks marking the head of the trail. We’d felt privileged to be there.

A few weeks before, we’d returned battered and Peter bleeding from an earlier atto find a practical Warland tempt way up to a nearby ridge.

After too many hours, we’d made it; it wasn’t a practical route; I’ve still got the scars.

But this time, there, laid out before us, was the whole Wildhorse Valley and its peaks, basins and pretty lakes. We knew them all.

Paul looked as excited and as young as a man of his years was able; I merely felt a tad more youthful than I ought to have done.

We sat for a while, Paul and I, soaking in the heady atmosphere. Way to our left were the Nine basins where we both had climbed, skied and camped innumerable times. Paul recalled setting up his tent in a meadow that had been filled with Grass of Parnassus. I thought back to discovering a brilliant coloured hummingbird frozen

stiff almost at the top of Mount Dingley. We chuckled as we recalled skiing, almost in the dark, down the basins to where our snowmobile waited and then refused to start.

Across from us lay Bear Creek and its two tiny lakes, a popular hiking place these days. George and Maggie, his wife, first spotted Bear Lake from the mountain above it. They’d climbed from the Summer Lake side and were determined to get to it. A week or so later we discovered the new logging road up towards the basin and off we went. It wasn’t easy, we recalled; the game trails had been few and far between.

And there was the East Fork of the Wildhorse from where, when the logging roads still existed, we’d climbed Mount Sneath and Mount Haley plus a high, unnamed peak that friend Sandy labelled ‘Mine’, and where I’d watched two college girls tie their jackets about their waists, pull the tails up between their legs and ‘bum slide’ at breakneck speed down icy snow slopes as I aged far too rapidly.

Further to the right on that glorious day quite recently we looked over at Boulder Creek and the backside of Mount Fisher, a fine peak that we’d both ascended several times but now avoided because of the ‘hordes’ that go there these days.

We’d rather climb, as we did on that glorious day so recently, where few others care to tread.

Parkinson’s fundraiser is this weekend What’s Up? First-ever Parkinson’s SuperWalk taking place in Cranbrook, Saturday, September 7 Townsman Staff

Tracy Ellerbeck’s mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s four years ago, at the age of 52. Tracy and her mother Suzanne recently decided to get matching tattoos of the Parkinson’s symbol of the tulip with the words “hope in bloom” – and found they wanted to do more for the cause.

“My mother heard about a family in Vancouver who had raised a significant amount for SuperWalk last year,” said Tracy. “We knew it would be a large task to take on, but decided that we were going to start our very own walk in Cranbrook.”

Tracy is now the local organizer for the first-ever Parkinson’s SuperWalk in Cranbrook. She’s working hard to spread the word and build awareness within the community.

“My family has always been very active,” she said. “We want to raise funds and find a cure for Parkinson’s, so my mother can continue to maintain her quality of life.”

She said there are many people in the area who are touched by Parkinson’s and SuperWalk gives them hope.

Proceeds from SuperWalk events across

Susanne and Tracy Ellerbeck.

B.C. go towards research and support services provided by Parkinson Society British Columbia.

Last year, the society funded two local researchers, hosted a regional conference and Young Onset seminar, delivered clinician training and community lectures to more than 400 people across the province and added five new support groups bringing the current total to 53.

The event takes place on Saturday, September 7, 2013, at 11 a.m. at the College of

the Rockies track. Families and friends will walk together to raise critical funds for Parkinson’s research, support services and education. Register by visiting www.parkinson.bc.ca.

SuperWalk is the largest national fundraising event for Parkinson’s disease and this month communities across Canada and in B.C. will join in the initiative. In B.C. organizers hope to best last year’s fundraising of $595,000, while in Canada, the aim is to raise $3.3 million.

Parkinson’s is the second most common degenerative neurological disorder after Alzheimer’s noted the society. It is estimated that 11,000 British Columbians and more than 100,000 Canadians live with the disease. It is cruel and unforgiving causing tremors, rigidity, postural instability, difficulty talking, walking and swallowing, reduced facial expression, and in some cases, depression and dementia. The debilitating effects of Parkinson’s are felt not only by the person with the disease, but their entire family. It knows no bounds and can strike anyone – women and men of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and lifestyles.

There is currently no known cure.

Blackmore loses costly court battle F inally, polygamous leader Winston Blackmore has felt the sting of Canadian law. But reminiscent of how the Americans finally put Prohibition-era mobster Al Capone behind bars, it’s not the criminal laws that Blackmore has run afoul of, it’s tax laws.

After what a judge called an “astronomical” understatement of his income and benefits by approximately $1.8 million, Blackmore fought Revenue Canada. He lost on appeal.

Now, not only does he have to pay his back taxes, Blackmore’s on the hook for a penalty of $150,000.

(Despite Judge Diane Campbell’s conclusion that Bountiful residents don’t have to share Blackmore’s tax burden, the evidence heard at the trial suggests that Blackmore will likely raise the money by additional tithing or making a “famine call” to residents to live for three months only using their stored food supplies and handing over their grocery money to him.)

There’s no small irony that Campbell described Blackmore’s behaviour as “reflective of an indifference as to whether there is or is not compliance with the law.”

In her decision dated Aug. 21, the judge also wryly noted that the case introduced “unique and novel legal and factual issues that are not normally before this Court.”

The appeal, which stretched over five months in 2012, was the first time the section allowing special tax consideration for religious groups was tested in court. And, tax boffins aside, Blackmore’s notoriety means that this is likely the only trial that Campbell will ever be asked about at dinner parties.

Blackmore is the religious leader to

about 500 people - mostly family members - living in and around Bountiful, in the Kootenays. The faith they profess is based on the teachings of Joseph Smith, Mormonism’s founder, and it includes polygamy.

Blackmore, who was once known as the bishop of Bountiful, was criminally charged with polygamy in 2009 along with James Oler. Those charges were dropped beDaphne cause of a procedural error.

But Blackmore and Bramham other men in Bountiful remain under scrutiny. Special prosecutor Peter Wilson is reviewing RCMP evidence with a view to laying charges ranging from polygamy to human trafficking to sexual exploitation.

Religion was at the root of Blackmore’s tax appeal, but Campbell’s task was limited to determining whether Bountiful constitutes a “congregation” under the federal Tax Act. To do that, she heard from religious experts as well as both former and present Bountiful residents who talked about life in the isolated community.

The whole thing began because Revenue Canada found that over six years starting in 2000, Blackmore understated the income and benefits he received from J.R. Blackmore & Sons, which he directed.

In court, Blackmore argued that his followers ought to share his tax burden. Yet, he admitted that until he spoke to Vancouver lawyer David Davies about possibly appealing, he had no idea that there was a special tax provision for groups such as Hutterites who live communally.

Despite at times praising Davies for the case he made, Campbell concluded that Blackmore’s community failed to meet any of the four criteria that define a ‘congregaLetters to the Editor

tion’ in the federal Tax Act. They don’t all live and work together.

They don’t belong to an identifiable religious organization, only to a “religious tradition.” Not all of the property is held communally; instead, Bountiful has what Campbell called “its own unique relationship to property ownership.”

That unique relationship includes some private property ownership, some property held in trust and Blackmore’s undisputed right to shift them like chess pieces from house to house - even ones they’ve built and paid for on their own.

As for devoting their working lives and activities to the congregation, Campbell said there was no evidence that that is part of Mormon tradition.

But it was in her consideration of a penalty that Campbell was scathing.

As the “directing mind” of J.R. Blackmore & Sons, Blackmore “ought to have known that ignoring the astronomical magnitude of the differences between the reported income/benefits and the amount of benefits assessed - ranging from 884 per cent to 1,326 per cent - over a number of years, would attract some type of tax consequences,” she wrote in her 92-page decision.

But here’s another irony.

Blackmore also has an astronomical number of wives - so many that he forgot to mention one when he was asked to list them in Campbell’s court - and an astronomical number of children that now hovers somewhere north of 125.

He ought to know that all of that would attract some type of consequences. But so far, Blackmore’s behaviour hasn’t. No wonder he’s indifferent to Canadian laws.

KOOTENAY ICE

4 ex-players sue NFL and helmet maker after league’s concussion settlement NEW ORLEANS - Four former NFL players have sued the league and its helmet maker, claiming they hid information about the dangers of brain injury.

They want medical care for past, current and future NFL players.

The ex-players - Jimmy Williams, Rich Mauti, Jimmy Keyes and Nolan Franz - filed the federal lawsuit in New Orleans on Sunday.

Last week, the NFL tentatively agreed to pay $765 million to past players with health problems that can be caused by concussions, but some said the amount should have been more.

James Dugan II, the attorney for the former players bringing the new suit, did not immediately return a call and email seeking comment.

Neither the league nor helmet maker Riddell, Inc. would comment Tuesday about the new suit, which claims they failed to protect players from brain injuries. Riddell isn’t part of the proposed settlement.

Williams beats Navarro to reach US Open semifinals

NEW YORK - From an ace on the first point to a stinging return on the last, Serena Williams was close to perfect in the U.S. Open quarterfinals.

The score said it all: 6-0, 6-0.

Yes, Williams is looking better and better with each match at the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. With two more wins - no matter the exact scores - she’ll earn a fifth title at Flushing Meadows and 17th major championship overall.

The No. 1-ranked and No. 1-seeded Williams shut out 18th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain, winning 53 of 71 points and dominating pretty much every statistical category Tuesday night. The first set took all of 19 minutes. The second was slower, lasting 33 minutes, but no less lopsided.

In Friday’s semifinals, Williams will play Li Na. Associated Press

Canada’s women’s soccer team to open 2014 schedule against the U.S.

Canada’s women’s soccer team will open its 2014 schedule with a friendly against the United States on Jan. 31. The game will take place in the U.S., although the location has yet to be determined.

The teams last met on June 2 in front of a record-setting crowd at BMO Field in Toronto, with the Americans winning 3-0.

That game - billed as “The Rematch” - marked both the first meeting between the rivals since Canada’s heartbreaking 4-3 loss to the U.S. in the 2012 Olympic semifinals, and the Canadians’ first game back home since they won bronze in London.

The Canadian women have an all-time record of three wins, five draws and 45 losses in 53 international matches against the Americans, and have never won at home, tying them once and losing six times in seven home matches dating back to 1990.

Kootenay Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson (left) and head coach Ryan McGill (right) survey the ice at one of the team practices during training camp last week at Western Financial Place.

Henderson enjoying WHL life New Kootenay Ice assistant coach ready to tackle exhibition and the regular season

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

After playing 12 years of professional hockey, Jay Henderson moved seamlessly into coaching, starting at the college level for two years before landing with the Ice. Suffice to say, this past training camp hasn’t been his first rodeo, but the new assistant coach admits it’s been a different experience.

“I was kind of amazed at what goes on behind the scenes,” said Henderson, who spent the previous two season assisting the bench with the NAIT Ooks in the ACAC, based in Edmonton.

“As a player, you don’t really worry about that, you worry about yourself, right? So it’s nice to be on the other side of things and obviously, it’s a really well organized club, so to see the way they function— there’s a lot of great people here, which is awesome.”

A lot of players Henderson worked with at NAIT had just finished in some junior league— whether the WHL or Jr. A—but the goal of developing talent is still the same. In fact, he already had a connection to the club as he coached Ice graduate Steele Boomer for a year.

“There’s a lot of bright futures here for

some of these guys and that’s where the skill levels are,” said Henderson, “and it’s our job to mould them into young men and young professionals.”

Henderson joined the Ice in the summer, signing a two-year contract and replacing former assistant Chad Kletzel, who resigned to spend more time with his family.

The players were split up into three teams at training camp—Blue, Black and White—with individual team practices and scrimmages.

Henderson was out on the ice with bench boss Ryan McGill to help run the practices and get his hands dirty.

“It’s amazing, to be honest with you,” he said. “A lot of the talent, I wouldn’t say all of it, but a lot of it, is in the young kids—young men—but the veterans have done a great job with them, allowing them to perform up to their capabilities.” “…It was a great week at camp and I’m really looking forward to Tri-Cities to see how we

match up against other teams.”

McGill has noticed what his new assistant has brought to the team so far, and is excited for the future.

“He’s going to be great,” said McGill. “The kids love him, he’s got a real good grasp of how we do things here and he’s fitting in just perfectly.”

IOC president Rogge’s final term nears its end STEPHEN WILSON Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Twelve years after taking over an IOC recovering from its worst ethics scandal, Jacques Rogge is leaving with the Olympic body in much sturdier shape but facing serious challenges.

The 71-year-old Belgian steps down as president next

Tuesday after steering the International Olympic Committee through a period of relative stability that spanned three Summer Olympics and three Winter Games.

Rogge, an orthopedic surgeon who competed in three Olympics in sailing, is completing his term with a reputation for bringing a calm, steady hand to the often turbulent

world of Olympic politics.

He took a hard line against doping and ethics violations, created the Youth Olympics, oversaw a growth in IOC finances during a time of global economic crisis and made peace with the U.S. Olympic Committee after years of bitter squabbling over revenues.

Under Rogge’s watch, the IOC has also taken the Olym-

pics to new places - including awarding the 2016 event to Rio de Janeiro for the first games in South America.

“I hope that people, with time, will consider that I did a good job for the IOC,” Rogge, in an interview with The Associated Press, said with typical understatement. “That’s what you legitimately want to be remembered for.”

Pioneers are up for the challenge Team of triathletes prove that age really is just a number at Penticton event

Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

A team of athletes, including a Cranbrookian, recently returned from competing in the Penticton Challenge Canada Triathlon, which replaced the Ironman Canada, as it relocated to Whistler. Gary Bilmark, Sister Madonna Buder, and Dyane Lynch

competed as a team, with each individually taking on a different portion of the event on Aug. 25th. Calling themselves Team Pioneer, the three were personally invited

by Challenge Family CEO Felix Walchshofer, who hails from Roth, Germany.

Tackling the 112-mile bike portion was Sister

Madonna Buder, who at the young age of 83, has more than 45 Ironman races under her belt.

Dianne Lynch, who holds the distinction of being the first and only woman to compete and complete the Penticton Ironman in 1983, ran the 26.2 mile marathon at the tender age of 70.

Gary Billmark, at a

youthful 71 years of age, represented Cranbrook and completed the 2.4 mile swim.

All told, the team finished the race with a time of 16:41:40, which was just under the allotted time of 17 hours.

They finished last in the team portion of the event, but ahead of 22 individual participants.

Hervey told reporters he will not longer sit quietly by and watch star quarterback Mike Reilly get slammed, drilled, hammered, and rag-dolled after every throw.

“I’m done watching it,” Hervey told a news conference at Commonwealth Stadium, a day after Reilly was sacked seven times in the team’s 37-34 loss to the Calgary Stampeders.

“I’ve had enough.”

Hervey said he met with head coach Kavis Reed after the game to discuss the changes, which include a new play-caller on offence, but when asked about Rottier said, “There was no room for negotiation on this one.

“Our football team is going to rest on the

shoulders of how healthy and how much success Mike Reilly has.

We have to protect him to give ourselves a chance.

“Our offensive line needs to improve and needs to improve fast,” he said, adding that changes are coming to the line.

“Our offensive line needs to improve and needs to improve fast.”

Ed Hervey He said while linemen like Matt O’Donnell, Alexander Krausnick, and Thaddeus Coleman a have shown promise, he has lost patience with Rottier.

“The majority of my frustration has been with Simeon,” he said.

“Clearly Simeon is not living up to expectations. It wouldn’t bother me if he didn’t play another down this year.”

Why not trade him or release him?

“You know non-im-

port offensive linemen.

You’ve got to hold onto them. The ratio,” he said referring to rules demanding a portion of the roster go to either players born in Canada or who spent a significant portion of their childhood here.

You want to hold onto a guy you don’t want to play?

“I’ve got to hold onto him. You change the rules and I’ll change that.”

Rottier and Reed were not available for comment as Tuesday was an off-day prior to Friday’s rematch with the Stampeders at Commonwealth Stadium.

Rottier, 29, was signed as a free from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in February 2012. The sixfoot-six 295-pound guard is from Westlock, Alta., and played college ball at the University of Alberta.

The Eskimos are off to their worst start since they went 1-10 in 1971, and are on track to finish last in the West Division for the sixth time in the past eight seasons.

Canada’s Raonic on Davis Cup collision course with Djokovic Donna Spencer Canadian Press

Canada’s Davis Cup team is deep in talent. That depth will be needed to beat world No. 1 Novak Djokovic and Serbia on their home court in Belgrade.

Milos Raonic leads Canada into the World Group semifinal tie Sept. 13-15 on clay at the Belgrade Arena.

The winning country moves onto the final in November against the winner of the other semifinal between Argentina and Czech Republic.

Canada has never made it this far in the international men’s team tennis event that begins each year with 130 countries. Only 16 qualify for the World Group each year.

Each tie consists of four singles matches and a doubles match.

“As a group we’ve gone through events and moments that are pretty uplifting and it’s been a year where we’ve done a lot of things we’ve never done before and we want to continue to do that,” Canada’s captain Mar-

tin Larendeau said Tuesday during a conference call.

“We’re really looking forward to the challenge and the chance to keep alive this great story we’re going through.”

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., is the highest-ranked male singles player in Canadian history at No. 11 in the world. He reached his first Masters final at last month’s Rogers Cup in Montreal where he lost in straight sets to current world No. 2 Rafael Nadal of Spain.

Raonic, 22, advanced to the fourth round of the U.S. Open before falling in five sets to Richard Gasquet of France on Monday.

Djokovic is 3-0 in Davis Cup singles in 2013. He and Raonic have never met on the professional tour.

Frank Dancevic of Niagara Falls, Ont., doubles specialist Daniel Nestor of Toronto and Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil round out the Canadian squad.

Ottawa’s Jesse Levine, Filip Peliwo of Vancouver

and Toronto’s Adil Shamasdin will also travel to Belgrade as part of an extended squad of players.

Serbia’s Janko Tipsarevic is ranked No. 21 in men’s singles and reached the third round of the U.S. Open.

Nenad Zimonjic, the No. 1 doubles player in the world in 2008, and Dusan Lajovic will also represent Serbia with Bogdan Obradovic as the team’s captain.

The Canadians will fly to Belgrade later this week.

They’ll practise on clay courts

in the city and start training on the competition surface Monday, Laurendeau said.

“It’ll be a challenging surface to adapt to for both teams,” he said. “The Serbs have also been playing on hard courts ever since Wimbledon and there’s not much time to turn it around.

“We also know that we’re playing indoors. Indoor tennis is always something we enjoy and we like. Even though it’s clay, we still play in conditions where the ball will travel pretty well.”

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Atrial fibrillation is a serious health issue that can lead to stroke. I didn’t even really know about it until my wife and I attended a preventive health screening at a local church where they checked for atrial fibrillation and other stroke risk factors. It turns out that atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat that you may not even feel.

We had no idea my wife had this condition until the screening. We brought the results to our doctor’s office, and they jumped on it. An EKG confirmed the screening results and told us that my wife was on the verge of having a stroke. This screening saved her life.

September is Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month, and I hope everyone will be checked for it. It is treatable. Finding it and working with your doctor to manage it can save your life or the life of someone you love. -- Dewey Bandy, Zephyr Hills, Fla. Dear Dewey Bandy: Thank goodness you and your wife attended the screening. We hope your letter will serve as a reminder to all of our readers to talk to their doctor about being tested for atrial fibrillation.

Dear Annie: I recently learned that my husband of 40 years has reconnected with an old flame. I don’t think anything has happened between them yet, but I am sure he’d go for it if he wouldn’t get caught. So, I would like to address this to her: Dear Other Woman: My husband is a good provider, but don’t expect companionship. I can count on one hand the number of times we have seen a movie in 40 years. Don’t expect him to attend church or any other activity with you. Don’t expect to have a social life. Don’t expect him to go for a walk with you, even though he has a number of health issues and a walk would be good for him.

Do expect to work full time and still do almost everything else to run the household.

Do expect him to spend almost every evening and weekend watching TV. Do expect him to want sex on a regular basis, although he doesn’t care about your satisfaction.

When his grandchildren visit, do expect to entertain and watch them, because he won’t.

From your conversations with him, you probably think I am just baggage at this point, but say the word, and I will pack his suitcase. -- Too Tired To Care Dear Too Tired: Your marriage sounds depressing and exhausted. If you want to salvage what’s left, please consider putting some energy back into it. Marriage takes effort from both partners. Your husband is looking for excitement, and you’re fed up with his self-centered behavior. Is it too late for you to work up any interest? Could he possibly learn to be more considerate?

Please get some counseling, with or without him, and decide what you want from your life and whether it includes your husband.

Dear Annie: Thank you for your perfect answer to “Wichita, Kan.,” the teacher who asked what gift to give students when invited to their graduation parties. You said a personal letter saying positive things about the student is also a “gift.”

My daughter just graduated high school and invited a substitute science teacher she really liked to her graduation party.

Later that evening, she was going through the cards people had left for her. When she opened the card from the science teacher, she proclaimed, “Look what Mr. McF gave me!” and handed it to me to read. There was nothing in the card but a handwritten message. But the message was priceless.

When my daughter sat down to write her graduation thank-you notes, this teacher received one, along with all of the notes for physical gifts. It was truly appreciated. -Proud Mother in N.P., NE Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SEATTLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dozens of search and rescue members on Washington stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount Rainier were deployed to rescue three Canadian climbers who fell into crevasse.

Two of the three men who tumbled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one from Surrey, B.C., and the other from Edmonton â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are in hospital in serious condition.

The climbers fell early Sunday morning into a crevasse on Emmons Glacier at about the 3,500metre level on the 4,400 metre active volcano, said a news release from the U.S. National Park Service.

The men were on their way to the summit of the mountain.

The service said the incident was reported by another climbing team that happened to see the three fallen men at about 3:50 a.m. Sunday.

A crew of about 36 personnel worked on the rescue.

A helicopter pilot managed to drop a four-person rescue team to within about 30 metres of the accident scene.

The service said the injured men were extracted by a newly established short-haul helicopter system.

More than 10,000 people attempt to climb Mount Rainier every year, but fewer than half that number actually reach the summit, according to statistics from the Park Service.

VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mining companies will be able to apply for exploration permits online for existing mine sites, as the B.C. government cuts red tape for the booming sector.

Natural Resources Minister Steve Thomson says low-impact activities such as exploration drilling and induced polarization, which uses an electrical current to measure deposits in the ground, can now be undertaken through the website FrontCounter BC. Mining companies will have to give the province 30 days notice of the exploration work, for the information to be referred to area First Nations.

Companies will also be able to go online to extend the timing of previously approved exploration work up to two years.

Last year, mining companies spent $680 million on exploration in the province.

With Verizon out, telecom file is a tricky one for Harper government C anadian Press

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With the deadline to sign up for a wireless spectrum auction looming and a major U.S. company out of the running, it looks doubtful anyone will burst onto the scene to compete against Rogers, Telus and Bell.

So with Verizon out, what now for a Conservative government that has long staked its ground on getting a fourth player into Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wireless market?

Companies have until Sept. 17 to put down a deposit to participate in the auction of wireless spectrum, to be held in January.

One route might be to delay the auction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an option Industry Minister James Mooreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office says it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considering.

Telecom analysts say the Tories could look at regulating things such as the roaming fees charged by wireless companies.

They say another option might be to let the auction go ahead as planned and save a decision on any leftover blocks of spectrum for a later date.

Ancient climate-cooling meteor may have hit Quebec

Somewhere under the forests, soil and bedrock of southern Quebec lie the ancient, undiscovered traces of an enormous meteor strike so catastrophic that it helped change the Earth’s climate and alter human history.

At least, that’s what Dartmouth University geochemist Mukul Sharma argues in a newly published paper, which could lead to an explanation of one of the most baffling episodes in our planet’s history.

“The whole idea is controversial,’’ he said. “There’s a correlation between a cli-

mate event and a meteor, but what is the cause? How did it all play out?’’

Sharma has long been fascinated by a period about 13,000 years ago called the Younger Dryas, during which the Earth suddenly reversed a warming trend and cooled radically for more than a millennium.

North American ice-age mammals from camels to ground sloths to sabre-tooth tigers became extinct. Ancient humans had to put away their mastodon spears and learn to survive on roots, berries and small game — and maybe even shift to agriculture.

“It was an abrupt event

when the Earth (was starting) to warm up,’’ said Sharma. “Suddenly, the climate changes again to very, very cold conditions and remains so for 1,400 years and then goes back merrily to warming again.’’ But why?

Some scientists hypothesize that it was related to the collapse of a giant ice dam formed by receding glaciers, which released a huge flood of cold freshwater that disrupted ocean currents and reversed climate trends. Others suggest something else must have been at work as well — perhaps a series of major meteor strikes.

Remains that could be from meteors dating from the onset of the Dryas have been found.

But — perhaps because most of North America was covered by ice at the time — no evidence of an actual impact has been discovered.

Enter Sharma.

He and his colleagues began examining tiny, marble-like rocks found in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that date right from the start of the Dryas period. These “spherules’’ contained minerals that could only have been produced through extraordinary heat.

What’s more, Sharma found the spherules weren’t local. The combination of isotopes they held closely matched those from areas in southern Quebec along the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

What he’d discovered was evidence of a meteor strike so powerful it could punch through more than a kilometre of ice and still retain enough energy to generate temperatures upwards of 1,700 C, send a huge mushroom cloud into the sky and hurl rubble over a good chunk of the continent.

That, perhaps in conjunction with other strikes around the same time, could have been disruptive enough to contribute to the climatic hiccup of the Younger Dryas.

Never mind that the actual crater hasn’t been found. It may lie buried under thick beds of glacial till left behind as the ice finally retreated, Sharma suggested.

He acknowledges that his discovery doesn’t prove meteors caused the Earth’s sudden cooling. It does, however, suggest there was at least one major event affecting the atmosphere that occurred right around the same time.
