Oktoberfest!

Organizers looking for accordion players and oom-pah-pah

C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The concept behind Kimberley’s First Saturdays initiative was that any number of events could happen on a first Saturday, and hopefully others would jump on board. That appears to be happening as more and more events are appearing on the first Saturday of

each month.

The last first Saturday of the year will be on October 5, so what better time to have an Oktoberfest celebration?

A group of Platzl business owners are planning an Oktoberfest event to coincide with the final first Saturday and they are looking for participation from local residents and businesses.

Already planned are beer gardens and food all day from 11 to 11 at the Green Door; brewery tours and beer/food gardens at Mozart House and a beer/food garden at Chef Bernards.

Infrastructure information Townsite stairs, St. Mary’s Ave. footbridge moving forward C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Two important pieces of Kimberley infrastructure are in the process of moving forward; the Townsite stairs and the new footbridge over St. Mary’s Avenue.

The stairs have been under discussion for quite some time, ever since they were vandalized earlier this year when unknown persons rolled heavy rocks down them. Council has discussed the issue thoroughly, as many Townsite residents have been pressing for the stair’s repair.

Mayor Ron McRae says the stairs will be repaired, but to a level that can deal with safety and liability issues as well.

“It doesn’t make sense to fix them to a point that they can be used and not deal with safety and liability issues at the same time,” he said.

As the heat of summer fades away, it’s time again to conduct prescribed burns in the Rocky Mountain Trench.

A handful of prescribed burns are planned to help open up areas of forest ingrowth and to restore better habitat, diversity and wildfire resilience to the landscape. Altogether, two burns on Crown land and one burn on Nature Conservancy of Canada land will treat close to 900 hectares.

“This week, small crews from the Wildfire Management Branch will be ‘black-lining’ the

Restoration season starts this week with ‘black-lining’

two Crown land areas,” said Randy Harris, team leader of the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program.

Black-lining is a preparation treatment to create buffer zones around the area boundaries. “It removes most of the fuel around the boundary areas,” Harris said. “Prescribed burns on the areas will come later in September.”

Local crews from the provincial Wildfire Management Branch Southeast Fire Centre will conduct the black-lining this week,

and the burns—if weather and conditions permit—by the end of the month.

The two Crown land locations are: Artesian Springs, just south of McGinty Lake near Meadowbrook (387 hectares); and Cutts Road, six kilometres south of Elko (394 hectares).

In addition, a burn at the Nature Conservancy of Canada Kootenay River Ranch site will occur, but not under the auspices of the Southeast Fire Centre crews.

Ecosystem restoration projects are on-

going on these sites. The initial thinning—and the follow-up burns— improve grazing for elk and cattle and enhance habitat for badgers. The Cutts Road burn will improve habitat for Lewis’ Woodpecker.

Each fire is ignited only when weather conditions meet B.C.’s smoke control regulations and when ground conditions allow fires to be managed safely. Prescribed burns mimic the frequent low-intensity ground fires that historically maintained grasslands and open forests in the East Kootenay

and Upper Columbia Valley.

Funding for this season’s prescribed burns is provided by the B.C. Government’s Land Based Investment program and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation.

Is it important to buy high quality supplements?

Nutritional supplements come in many different forms and doses which will have an effect on any therapeutic benefit that you are trying to achieve.

In this month’s article I have outlined a few reasons to be diligent and search for high quality supplements.

1. No additives or fillers Inexpensive supplements are able to be sold at a lower cost because they use a combination of non-therapeutic ingredients as fillers and low doses of the intended nutrient. A few of the many non-medicinal ingredients from one of the most common multi-vitamins include FD&C Yellow No. 6 Aluminum Lake, Modified Food Starch, Hydrogenated Palm Oil and Maltodextrin. Not only are these ingredients unnecessary, they may actually be harmful to your body and block the absorption of the ingredients that you want.

2. Tested for toxins There are currently no regulations requiring ‘natural’ health supplements to undergo testing for dosage or toxins that may be found in certain products. The main supplement of concern is fish oil as some fish contain high levels of heavy metal toxins which will be more concentrated in the oil. High quality supplement manufacturers will have their products tested by a third party to ensure that they are not exposing their customers to poisons.

3. Higher Doses High quality supplements may cost more because they contain doses of the wanted ingredients that are high enough to achieve a therapeutic effect. As the cost decreases, often times so does the dose and in order to receive an adequate amount you may have to take a large number of capsules or tablets. When doses are compared directly, it usually leads to the discovery that the “expensive” supplements are actually lower in cost. Again, professional line supplements are third party tested to ensure the dosing is accurate.

4. Most absorbable or active form used Apart from higher doses, quality supplements will also contain the form of nutrient that is most available to be absorbed and utilised by your body. Along with higher doses and the absence of unnecessary ingredients, using the most available form will ensure you are receiving the proper nutrients and better equip you on the journey to achieving your health goals.

Overall, look for supplements that contain no artificial preservatives, artificial flavour or colour, yeast, GMO corn, GMO soy, wheat, gluten, milk, sugar, starch, heavy metals or PCBs. Always consult a Naturopathic Doctor or other health professional that is trained in this area before starting a new supplement.

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 part of their Cruise with a Cause six day motorcycle marathon for prostate cancer. Cranbrook was part of 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 One Bullet Down provided some tunes. To follow along on the stars’ ride, go to www.cruisewithacause.ca.

The other big project people are waiting on is the foot bridge to replace the vehicle bridge over St. Mary’s Avenue, which was taken out last year as part of the flume rehab project.

The removal of the bridge was somewhat controversial at the time, as residents of the Leadenhall, Beale Street area were concerned about exiting from the top of Leadenhall.

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE

The Light Between Oceans G

’day from Down Under! I am writing this final book review from Australia, where I have made a quick trip to visit family.

I expected to have finished this week’s novel before I even arrived in Australia, since that meant enduring a 15-hour plane flight. But I couldn’t bring myself to read very much on the plane – the lights were off in the cabin and I didn’t want to disturb my neighbours.

Plus, the time passes much faster when I switch my brain off and watch a movie.

So I ended up reading in stolen moments during this stay. The final chapters I have just finished were read on the patio at my parents’ house, sitting in the winter sun and listening to the kookaburras cackle.

It was the perfect setting to read this week’s novel, M.L. Stedman’s “The Light Between Oceans”. This 2012 novel is set in Western Australia, and the author, who is an ex-pat like me, went to great efforts to bring the Australian setting to the forefront. The ocean, the bush and the wildlife are as much a character as anyone.

Set in 1926, “The Light Between Oceans” gives us a glimpse of an isolated island

SALLY MACDONALD where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet, hundreds of miles from the mainland. All that stands on Janus Island is a tall, powerful lighthouse, and the home and outbuildings where the light keeper lives.

On Janus Island, we meet light keeper Tom Sherbourne and his new wife Isabel. In this far-flung spot, they create a home for themselves; they don’t mind the isolation because they have each other.

Stedman sets the ground work for a great love story.

But as the years go by, Tom and Isabel face tragedy upon tragedy as Isabel suffers two miscarriages. Then her third pregnancy ends in a still birth at seven months.

It’s more than Isabel can bear. She is devastated; Tom is desperate to help but he’s not

able to.

Only weeks later, they hear a baby’s cries above the crashing waves. They rush to the little beach to see a small boat washed up. Inside is a man’s body and a mewling newborn.

In her grief, Isabel instantly bonds with the baby girl. They decide to keep her as their own. Although he knows what they are doing is wrong, Tom has finally found a way to assuage Isabel’s suffering.

In this isolated world, it is years before they realize the repercussions of their actions.

“The Light Between Oceans” spent months on the New York Times bestseller list.

It has been lauded by critics and readers alike. It has won three Australian Book Industry Awards for Best Newcomer, Best Literary Novel, and Book of the Year. It won two Indie Awards for Best Debut and Book of the Year, and won the Nielsen BookData Bookseller’s Choice Award this year. The GoodReads website voted it the Historical Novel of 2012.

And the film rights have been snapped up.

Beautifully written (but a little heavy on the Aussie vernacular), “The Light Between Oceans” builds and builds emotion in the reader

until its most wrenching moments are as devastating to you as they are to the characters.

Anyone reading this novel will feel a bit “put through the wringer” – it is painful to read at times. But parents in particular with wrestle with right and wrong. There are two sides to every story, and each side in this story is painful to consider.

In a wonderful setting, with great character depth, and a poignant story, “The Light Between Oceans” is a fantastic read.

Next week, I will wrap up my Summer Reading Challenge. Stay tuned to hear how it went.

School Days – From Days Past Submit ted

The School Days exhibition is in full swing in the gallery space until September 28, with some surprises and people you may recognize!

Thanks to contributions of on loan items from the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the Cranbrook Public Library and the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History, the new exhibition features some diverse and interesting pieces.

Circa 1920, are a pair of pencil drawings found in the archives of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel. Initially believed to be student doodles, Damon Colgan of the museum, believes them to be teacher examples of figure studies.

You’ll have to come to the exhibition to see and

decide for yourself. Student studies or teachers examples, who knows?

Deanne Perreault of the Cranbrook Public Library loaned the CDAC a selection of school related books and the library’s own scrapbook, a beautiful record of the history of the library for visitors to discover.

Last but not least, Deryll White from the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History kindly printed and loaned seven photo-canvas pieces depicting local schools and students from days gone by, ranging from the 1930s – 1980s, you may see someone you recognize!

The gallery is open for visitors Tuesday to Friday 11am – 5pm and Saturdays 10-2pm, and school tour bookings

See anyone you recognize? The “School Days” exhibition is currently on display at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council. are now available for this exhibition. Tours last approximately two hours, an hour of gallery exploration followed by a hands-on workshop

Putin’s last decade, Russia’s last 50 years

“E

ach time one of us thinks ‘I’ll just stand aside and things will happen without me and I’ll wait,’ then he is helping this disgusting feudal system that sits like a spider in the Kremlin,” said Alexei Navalny, often billed as Russia’s top opposition leader, as he sat in a courtroom in Kirov in July awaiting conviction on embezzlement charges.

True enough, but Vladimir Putin is not losing any sleep over it.

The Russian president, currently hosting the G20 summit meeting in St Petersburg (5-6 September), has run the country as his private fiefdom for the past 13 years. The media obey orders, political opponents are jailed on trumped-up corruption charges, and individuals who dig too deep into the murky history of Putin’s rapid rise to power (Anna Politkovskaya, Alexander Litvinenko, Yuri Shchekochikhin) die mysteriously of bullet wounds or poison.

Navalny, a 37-year-old Moscow lawyer, rose to fame as an anti-corruption campaigner during the 2011-12 protests against Putin because of his sharp, sardonic blog about Russian politics. He was then identified by the foreign media as the great new hope of the Russian opposition because he was hip, he was cool, he was everything that Russian leaders, whether in power or in opposition, have traditionally not been.

His new political prominence promptly attracted the usual state-sponsored charges of corruption, and on 18 July Navalny was found guilty of embezzlement (by a judge who has never issued a not guilty verdict) and sentenced to five years in prison.

Navalny took it with his customary cool.

He tweeted to his 373,000 followers “Oh, well. Don’t get bored without me. And

most importantly, don’t be idle. Remember, the frog won’t hop off the oil pipes by itself.” (Never mind — it makes more sense in Russian.)

But then something odd happened.

The state prosecutor asked that Navalny be left free pending his appeal, which could take months. Navalny is running for mayor of Moscow in the election on 8 September. If he were in jail pending his appeal — the normal situation in politically motivated trials Gwynne — he would have to drop out. Why is the state sudDyer denly being nice to him?

Because it wants him to run and lose — and it’s sure he will lose.

The opinion polls give Navalny just over 10 percent of the vote, compared to more than 50 percent for the incumbent mayor, Sergei Sobyanin. Navalny’s presence on the ballot papers will lend some credibility to Sobyanin’s re-election, Navalny’s defeat will demonstrate how little popular support he actually has — and afterwards they’ll whisk him off to prison.

But why does Navalny have so little popular support? Why do Russians put up with being ruled by Putin, an autocrat who no longer steals public money himself, but whose colleagues and cronies all steal?

(Putin made his secret pile back in the early 1990s, when he was a rising politician in the first post-Communist city government of St. Petersburg.)

Well, before Putin came to power in 2000 they put up with eight years of Boris Yeltsin, a boorish drunk who not only stole from the Russians (as did most of his political allies) but also embarrassed them.

Before that there was a brief interlude of honesty and sanity under Mikhail Gorbachev — but he is blamed by most Russians for all the bad things that have happened since the fall of the Soviet Union.

And before that there was the Era of Stagnation, the last decades of Communist rule, when the state didn’t murder its own citizens so much any more, but everybody lived in relative poverty under a perpetual rain of brazen lies, and endured the constant insults and petty criminality of an arrogant Communist elite. Fifty years in which the politicians who ran Russia have almost all been brutal, contemptible, or both.

So the great mass of Russians have given up believing that any politician could be honest, or that anything could ever really change. Some urban sophisticates are drawn to Navalny’s post-modern style and his relentless critique of the Russian political system, but even in large parts of Moscow and St. Petersburg, and almost everywhere outside the big cities, that sort of thing has no pulling power at all.

That’s why there is an undercurrent of despair in Navalny’s tweets, with their constant exhortations to Russians not to just switch off and go back to sleep. Living standards have risen considerably on Putin’s watch, mainly due to high world prices for oil and gas, and lots of people just want to keep their heads down and get on with their lives. Besides, in the boonies most people assume that Navalny is just another crook, only slicker.

Putin’s macho style no longer wins him the old adulation either: a recent poll by the Levada Centre found that nearly half of all Russians want him to step down at the end of his current presidential term in 2018. But they’re not in any hurry about it, nor will they be unless global energy prices and Russian living standards start to fall.

And Navalny won’t be out of jail in time to run in the 2018 election anyway.

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITERS

Blue Jays fall 4-3 to Arizona in extra innings PHOENIX - Willie Bloomquist lined his third hit for a run-scoring single in the 10th inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks avoided a three-game sweep with a 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Eric Chavez got the final rally started by blooping a single off Luis Perez (0-1) and pinch-runner Adam Eaton moved to third on A.J. Pollock’s single off Jeremy Jeffress. Bloomquist then singled through Toronto’s drawn-in infield to cap the Diamondbacks’ franchise record-tying 21st extra-inning inning game.

Arizona recovered after a shaky first inning by Randall Delgado, tying the game while its pitchers face the minimum over the next eight innings. Will Harris (3-0) worked around a baserunner in the 10th inning to set up Bloomquist’s fourth career game-winning hit.

Rajai Davis homered for the second straight game for Toronto.

Ben Johnson, stripped of 100-metre gold, now promotes anti-doping NEW YORK - Ben Johnson can explain exactly why athletes take performance-enhancing drugs.

And he suspects most runners are still doing it a quarter-century after he was caught.

“The money is great. The pressure is great,” Johnson said Wednesday. “People want to make money, buy a car, big houses, dress good, travel, do everything to win. This is the world that we live in.”

He’s trying to make an even more compelling argument against it. The 51-year-old former sprinter is now promoting an anti-doping campaign.

Whenever an athlete tests positive, Johnson’s name inevitably comes up. The Canadian won the Olympic 100-meter gold medal in world-record time at the 1988 Seoul Games, then had it stripped.

Johnson, who lives in Markham, Ont., acknowledges that part of why he joined the Pure Sport campaign, which is sponsored by a sportswear company, is so perhaps he’ll be remembered for more than a failed drug test.

Nitros settle for tie in preseason action TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It had all the hallmarks of a preseason game—some jitters, some undisciplined play, and some unexpected twists and turns.

The Kimberley Dynamiters erased a twogoal deficit, took a brief lead, but eventually settled for a 3-3 tie with the Columbia Valley Rockies in their first exhibition action of the new season.

Riding a 3-2 lead going into the final minute of the game, Rockies forward Justin Kostiuck managed to sneak a shot past the blocker of Nitro goaltender Troy Brouw-

er to knot it up by the final buzzer.

Doan Smith and Jerome Thorne supplied the other two goals for Columbia Valley, while Brady Revie, Coleman MacDonald and Tyson Klingspohn potted markers for Kimberley.

Columbia Valley had played twice before in their pre-season schedule, making it their third time outing against the untested Dynamiters.

It certainly showed in the first period.

“The first period, we were pretty—I guess you would use the word awful, but we got better from there, and had a nice battle back to have

the lead,” said head coach Jerry Bancks. “Just an unfortunate break on the last goal.”

New goaltender Braydon Rubisch got the start for half the game, making some sharp saves while surrendering a lone goal at the end of the first period.

Ten minutes into the second period, Rubisch was replaced with Tyson Brouwer, a goaltender out of Lethbridge, who allowed two goals over the remaining 30 minutes.

Smith shovelled away in front of the net with 42 seconds left in the opening period to score his goal to put the Rockies in the lead. The second period was scoreless, but not without opportunities for both teams.

It was a wild finish, with five of the game’s six goals scored in the final frame.

Columbia Valley doubled up early in the third period when Thorne picked up a rebound just outside of the crease and put it home.

However, mere seconds later, Revie answered back for the Nitros to get the offensive ball rolling.

A few minutes later, MacDonald broke down the left wing, beat a Rockies defenceman, and slipped the puck through the five-hole on goaltender.

Kimberley scored it’s third goal not long after that, Klingspohn snapped in a shot to take a 3-2 lead in the latter half of the frame.

However, Kostiuck managed to get around Kimberley’s Tanner Grey after he broke his stick to beat Brouwer in the final minute of the game to tie it at a 3-3 final.

It was end-to-end action at the start that wasn’t very coordinated as players were thrown into the game to see how they handled the game situations.

“It was a real great opportunity to do some evaluating,” said Bancks.

“They’re [Columbia Valley] a good team. Columbia Valley has turned their program around and they’re going to be good for a long time now.

“It was good to get that game in. They got great players, and it was good for us to evaluate our guys.”

One player who stood out was defence-

man Charlie Dagostin, who was making some smart plays and some big hits while patrolling the blue line.

Dagostin, who came in all the way from Dawson City in the Yukon, arrived two weeks ago after a marathon drive broken up into two day stints to get to Kimberley.

However, it was worth it, he said.

“It felt great to get out onto the ice,” said Dagostin. “Definitely a new experience, coming up from Midget to play some junior, but I like the pace and the boys are great here.”

Kimberley will head up to Invermere for a rematch on Saturday evening, and Bancks will have roughly 26 skaters to choose from when making up the game roster.

“We had five or six veterans out of the lineup tonight that will need a chance to play,” Bancks said. “[Goaltender] Jeremy Mousseau needs to get a game in, or part of a game in, anyhow, so we’ll probably pull out some veterans and put some other ones in, and have another look at the younger players or the rookies.”

Ice prepare for exhibition tournament Year after missing US Open, Nadal reaches semifinals Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The wheels on the bus go ‘round and ‘round—all the way to Kennewick in Washington state as the Kootenay Ice head to the home of the Tri-City Americans for an exhibition tournament this weekend.

They’ll leave on Thursday morning, with enough time to get to the rink and suit up for an evening game against their hosts. Kootenay also faces off against Spokane and Everett on Friday and Saturday night.

For the nine remaining prospects—a goaltender, three defencemen, and five forwards— the tournament will be critical to determining their immediate future with the Ice. However, with only two days of team practices, there is a huge learning curve with adopting new systems and fitting into roles, said Ice head coach Ryan McGill.

“We got a lot of work to cover in two short days so we’re at least a little bit organized coming into the games for these guys, give them a little bit of structure,” McGill said. “There’s a lot to absorb and we’re asking a lot of these guys.

They just started their

Ice head coach Ryan McGill chats with goaltender Wyatt Hoflin at practice. first week of school, they got a lot on their minds and obviously, it’s a week where they have a lot thrown at them.

“We want them to go out this weekend and showcase themselves versus other players in the league rather than their peer group here that they’ve been playing against all week, so it’s going to be a big test for them.”

With Mackenzie Skapski attending training camp with the New York Rangers, prospect Jayden Sittler stayed after camp, and will share netminding duties with Wyatt Hoflin.

McGill’s plan, as of

Wednesday evening, is to start Hoflin on Thursday and Saturday, with Sittler getting his shot on Friday night.

However, as with any player and position on the team, ice time has to be earned, added McGill.

Zachary Zborosky, one of the five prospect forwards, had a strong camp and is looking to take that into the exhibition season.

“I was pretty happy with myself, can’t say I’m satisfied, but I thought I did good out there,” said the Regina native, on his training camp experience.

Going up against

other WHL teams is going to be a step up from intrasquad scrimmages, he said.

“I expect the game to be much faster and bigger guys out there and it’s going to be tougher than Midget,” Zborosky said.

He spent his past season playing in the Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League (SMHL) with the Regina Pat Canadians, scoring 22 goals and tallying 30 assists in 42 games.

After the Tri-City tournament, the Ice have two more remaining pre-season games in the Crowsnest Pass against Calgary and Lethbridge.

NEW YORK - It’s as though Rafael Nadal never left.

If anything, he’s playing better than ever.

A year after skipping the U.S. Open because of a bad knee, Nadal powered his way back to the semifinals at Flushing Meadows, overwhelming 19th-seeded Tommy Robredo 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 on Wednesday night.

“I think I played my best match at the U.S. Open this year. Great to be able to play your best match in the quarter-finals,” Nadal said. “Playing a little better every day is a great feeling.”

The second-seeded Nadal improved to 20-0 on hard courts in 2013, part of an overall record of 58-3 with nine titles, including his record

eighth championship at the French Open in June.

At the next Grand Slam tournament, though, Nadal flopped, exiting in the first round at Wimbledon.

That surprising defeat, against a guy ranked 135th, came on June 24.

Feels like eons ago.

Nadal hasn’t lost a match to anyone since. His 12 major trophies include the 2010 U.S. Open, and he has reached at least the semifinals the past five times he entered the tournament. Nadal did not come to New York in 2012, part of about a seven-month absence due mainly to a left knee problem.

On Saturday, Nadal will face No. 8 Richard Gasquet, who edged No. 4 David Ferrer 6-3, 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-3.

That one took nearly

3 1/2 hours, and was filled with plenty of ebbs and flows, allowing Gasquet to reach his first major semifinal in six years.

Nadal, meanwhile, was never challenged even the slightest bit by Robredo, who was coming off a fourth-round upset of 17-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer. That stunning result scuttled the possibility of a Nadal-Federer showdown, which would have been the rivals’ 32nd meeting on tour, but first at the U.S. Open.

Robredo had been 0-10 against Federer before finally beating him Monday. Perhaps that allowed Robredo to enter Wednesday believing he’d have a chance against Nadal, despite an 0-6 mark in their previous matches.

Bandits eyeing up fall ball season Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

While the summer season has ended, the Rocky Mountain Bandits are eyeing up some action in the fall.

Head coach Paul Mrazek has been working the phones, chatting with teams in the Montana league that they competed in, and is lining up a five- to six-week schedule to get his young squad some action.

“Fall program will consist of five or six weeks, practicing twice a week, hopefully games on Saturdays and Sundays—both doubleheaders,” said Mrazek.

“Depending on the number of teams that want to play us, we’re looking at hosting a tournament in October.

“Kalispell and Whitefish have both responded and said they’re in, so it’s just going to be a small, four-man tournament.

We don’t have lights

and the days are getting shorter then, but we can do a four-man tournament, which will be good for the program and good for the community to see some good baseball.”

While the team had a couple rookies in the dugout, there was also a rookie on the coaching staff, as former player Jordan Torge r s o n stepped up to help out Mrazek and fellow assistant Jordan Armstrong.

To r g e r son was helping out with the high school team, along with Mrazek, and getting involved with the Bandits was simply an extension of that.

“We started talking a little more and he liked where my head was at, so we kind of worked together a bit for the high school team and it evolved into me helping

out with the Bandits,” said Torgerson.

After finishing with the Bandits a few years ago, Torgerson headed to Prairie Baseball Academy in Lethbridge and played a year of college baseball.

After returning home, he decided he wanted to get involved and give back to baseball in the community.

“Playing here, I did quite a few years, so co m i ng back to coach, it meant a lot to me,” said Torgerson. “It’s a big part of your life, growing up and playing it, so it’s fun to be able to come back and take what I’ve learned and put back into it.”

He also got a vote of confidence from his head coach.

“He did fine, he did very well,” said Mrazek.

“He’s good with the

kids, he explains things well. He understands what I want as head coach and how I want things taught. For me it’s basic fundamental baseball and mechanics, and he understands that.”

Torgerson was able to step right in alongside Mrazek and fellow assistant Armstrong, who’s been with the team for three seasons.

It’s different standing on the field as a coach, rather than as a player, said Torgerson.

“I found it really hard to get the kids to do what I had pictured them to do. It’s easy to go out and do something, but to get someone to do what you actually want them to do—I really had a hard time with that,” Torgerson said.

“So to be able to explain to a younger man how to get him to do what you want him to do, that’s what I found was the hardest part.”

Former NFLers say concussion settlement doesn’t stop questions Michael Marot Associated Press

The NFL’s concussion settlement may not have settled anything.

On Wednesday, two former Super Bowl champions - Troy Aikman and John Lynch, now Fox Sports broadcasters - contended the league has more work to do.

Aikman wants the NFL to divulge more details about what it knew regarding the long-term impact of repeated blows to the head, and when it knew it. Lynch said he expects even more litigation after the league tentatively agreed last week to pay out $765 million to a group of former players.

“What I’m happy about is that there are players that need it (the money) and need it now, and they’re going to be taken care of,” Lynch said. “But I think the notion that this is done now and we can move on is not really the reality. A new lawsuit was filed today, and from talking with Scott

(Fujita) I think there are more to come.”

It wasn’t immediately clear which lawsuit Lynch was referring to, though one was filed Sunday in New Orleans.

Former NFL players Jimmy Williams, Rich Mauti, Jimmy Keyes and Nolan Franz claim the league hid information about the dangers of brain injury.

While neither Lynch nor Aikman were part of the original lawsuit, both know a thing or two about concussions.

Lynch was one of the league’s hardest hitting safeties in Tampa Bay and Denver from 1993 through 2007. Though Lynch has said he was never officially diagnosed with a concussion, he told a Tampa columnist in 2011 that there were times he was “woozy” and asked a teammate to take his spot closer to the line of scrimmage while he recovered.

Aikman won three Super Bowls with the Cowboys during the 1990s, but his 12-year

career ended prematurely in part because of repeated concussions.

Today, Lynch and Aikman say they feel “great” and have shown no symptoms of longterm damage.

In fact, Aikman said he recently was tested in Dallas. Doctors, Aikman said, told him Tuesday that the tests were all

clear.

While Aikman believes the settlement will help the former players with the most immediate need, he called the settlement a “win” for the NFL. “It’s a lot of money, but I think in terms of what could have been paid, it’s not that much,” Aikman said. “I think

probably in the big scheme of things, it’s a real positive. These guys will be able to benefit some and some money will be put into research, which will help. The one thing I’m disappointed about is that the NFL didn’t have to acknowledge what they knew about (the long-term impact) and when they

knew about it. I think full disclosure would have been the best way to go, but that’s not going to happen now.”

If Lynch is right, perhaps the league will be forced into divulging more details.

Until then, the two will continue calling games on Fox Sports, where they have a new

teammate in Randy Moss. The former receiver has rarely held his tongue, which is exactly what Fox executives wanted.

“He’s being himself,” Fox Sports executive producer John Entz said. “He’s being very natural and organic, which is what we love about him.”

Bolt plans to retire after 2016 Summer Games R af C asert Associated Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium - Usain Bolt plans to retire after the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

Bolt said Wednesday he wants to win more gold in Rio, set another world record in the 200 metres next year, and perhaps win a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.

“So far, (it) is after the Olympics in Rio,” Bolt said of his retirement plans. “I think if I am in great shape, I’ll go there and do what I have to

do. I think it will be a good time to retire, on top.”

Winning another three golds in Moscow last month made him the most decorated athlete in world championship history with eight gold and two silvers. He has six gold medals from the Olympics.

“If I want to be among the greats of (Muhammad) Ali and Pele and all these guys I have to continue dominating until I retire,” Bolt said ahead of his final race this season in the

100 at Friday’s Van Damme Memorial.

Bolt won the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and at last year’s London Games. He won the same triple at the 2009 worlds before repeating that feat in Moscow last month.

At 27, Bolt has the experience to know that a lax season midway between Olympics can hurt him. In 2010, a soft entry into the year and subsequent injury cost him almost a full season.

“I kind of didn’t do much in the off-season and then got injured and had to start from scratch. So this season, I will not make that mistake again,” Bolt said.

Like 2010, next season has no major championships, but Bolt is forcing himself to think of new goals for 2014.

He already owns the 100 and 200 world records and shares the 4x100 with his Jamaican teammates. He acknowledges the 100 record of 9.58 seconds will be extremely tough to

better, but he hopes to improve on the 19.19 he ran in the 200 in Berlin four years ago.

“I have learned, I have mastered the art of running the turn,” Bolt said of the 200. “So if I can stay injury free and be in good shape, then it is possible for me to definitely go after the world record.”

As a Jamaican, Bolt can compete in the Commonwealth Games, too, something he has yet to do. Next year, the event will be held in Glasgow, Scotland.

Fewer forest fires this sunny summer in B.C. B.C. has emerged from one of its sunnier summers in recent years with a below-average number of forest fires.

As of Sept. 1, the B.C. government’s wildfire management branch record 1,687 reported wildfires for the season, compared to an average year of nearly 2,000 fires.

This year’s fires burned a total of 11,434 hectares, far less than the average damage of more than 130,000 hectares.

Wet weather returned with school to large parts of the province, after a sunny summer that saw several dry-weather records set.

For the first time since records were kept, Vancouver airport recorded no rain for the entire month of July.

The number of reported fires so far this year is slightly higher than the total for last year, but the total area burned in 2012 was nearly 10 times greater.

The province spent $133 million on firefighting last year, a total that should be much lower when the bills are added up for 2013.

Open burning remains banned for the Southeast Fire Centre region until as late as Sept. 20. Campfire bans were lifted Aug. 26 for the Kamloops and Coastal Fire Centre regions, and earlier in the month for the Northwest, Cariboo and Prince George regions as dry conditions were

relieved.

Despite public information campaigns and open burning restrictions, provincial statistics continue to show

Women in Trades in BC With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

1

Over the next decade, there will be an estimated one million job openings in B.C. in many sectors, including liquefied natural gas, mining and mineral exploration, and shipbuilding. Of those job openings, 43 per cent will require trades and technical training.

2

Under the BC Jobs Plan, government is investing more than $4 million in 201314 through the CanadaBritish Columbia Labour Market Agreement to enable 675 women to access mentorship opportunities and trades training programs, complete skills upgrading, and receive financial support for childcare, transportation, tools and equipment.

3

Now more than ever, women throughout B.C. are realizing that a career in trades can mean independence, job satisfaction and great pay. Approximately 10 per cent of all apprentices in British Columbia are women, up from 8.5 per cent in 2009. We’re making progress, but we can do better. By working together with industry, employers, post-secondary partners and women throughout B.C., we can meet the growing demand for skilled tradespeople and make sure that women are finding opportunity, job satisfaction and good pay in the skilled trades.

NEWS Tanker research ‘subsidy’ to Enbridge, Greens say To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

VICTORIA – Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May accused the Conservative government Wednesday of “doing Enbridge’s homework” with $120 million program to study ocean weather and behaviour of heavy oil spills in the ocean around Kitimat.

At a news conference in Victoria, May added her voice to that of Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, who raised questions in the B.C. legislature in July about an ocean monitoring project in support of oil tanker exports as proposed by Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project.

May and Weaver released leaked documents they say show Ottawa spending $78 million this year and $42 million next year for marine

MPs to identify spending on programs such as the ocean monitoring on B.C.’s North Coast.

Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver issued a statement Wednesday, rejecting May’s accusation of secrecy. Oliver said he announced the program publicly in Vancouver in March.

“Work on tanker safety is critical to ensure we have we have world-class marine safety on Canada’s coastGreen Party leader Elizabeth May lines,” Oliver said. “While the Green Party and the NDP opweather monitoring and deterpose resource development mining how diluted bitumen projects before the science is from the Alberta oil sands in, our government will not would behave in a spill. make decisions until an indeMay said federal Finance pendent scientific review deMinister Jim Flaherty changed termines they are safe for Cathe federal budget documents nadians and safe for the envithis year to conceal changes to ronment.” ministry and program spendWeaver said the investment ing, making it impossible for amounts to a subsidy to En-

Canadian trainers to begin Afghan withdrawal Murr ay Bre wster Canadian Press

OTTAWA — Canadian troops will begin a phased withdrawal from Afghanistan next month, leaving fewer than 100 soldiers on the ground by the time the training mission officially comes to end in March.

But questions remain about whether the

th 5 3 al

Annu

Afghan force Canadians have been training will be capable of fending off the continued onslaught of insurgents.

Maj.-Gen. Dean Milner, who’s in charge of Canadian troops and is deputy commander of the NATO training mission, expressed confidence the Afghan National Army and police will be able to meet the

challenges.

“The Afghans, as you know, are 100 per cent in the lead. So there’s no doubt in my mind they’re taking more casualties,’’ he said in a conference call from Kabul.

Despite that, he said, there is “nothing that is precluding them from defeating the Taliban.’’

But U.S. Gen. Joseph

Dunford, Milner’s boss and the NATO commander in Afghanistan, said in a recent interview with the British media he believes Afghan forces are suffering an “unsustainable’’ level of casualties and that the fledgling army might need western help for another five years.

Milner says trainers have been working to

bridge, which should do its own research on environmental effects of its pipeline and tanker port proposal. He cited a Fisheries and Oceans Canada document that concludes “behaviour models specific to [diluted bitumen] do not exist, and existing commercial models for conventional oil do not allow parameter specific modifications.”

Weaver called on the B.C. government to reiterate its opposition to Northern Gateway, which was detailed in the province’s final submission to the federal environmental assessment panel that concluded hearings this spring.

He said Premier Christy Clark has backed away from opposition to the project since the May provincial election, and has focused on improving relations with Alberta.

mitigate the threats against Afghan troops by providing more extensive training for avoiding and diffusing roadside bombs and booby traps.

“The Afghans are putting a big focus on that,’’ he said. “Their confidence is growing.’’

Canadian troops, who fought a five-year counter-insurgency war in southern Afghanistan, have been training Afghan military instructors and providing basic literacy courses at camps around Kabul, and in the northern part of the country, since the summer of 2011.

Milner said he visits Kandahar frequently and the region is now more stable.

The phased withdrawal of some 950 Canadian trainers will take place throughout the fall.

A recent study by a respected Washington-based think-tank paints an ominous portrait of the increasingly violent war NATO is leaving the Afghans to fight.

The Centre for Strategic and International Studies, citing U.S. Defence Department data, noted there has been no drop in the number of insurgent-instigated attacks this year compared with last year.

Unlike the U.S. experience in Iraq, the surge of troops into Afghanistan did not produce a gradual reduction in violence, said the report.

Report details potential tsunami disruptions to California’ Alicia Chang Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — If a monster earthquake struck off Alaska’s coast, tsunami waves would rush toward California, crippling the nation’s busiest port complex and flooding coastal communities, a report released Wednesday suggests.

The potential impacts, based on a hypothetical magnitude-9.1 jolt off the Alaskan peninsula, were detailed by a team led by the U.S. Geological Survey to help emergency responders prepare.

Tsunamis are a rare but real threat in California. After the 2011 Japan disaster, tsunami waves raced across the Pacific and damaged boats and docks in the commercial fishing village of Crescent City.

Scientists said a closer offshore quake would create more havoc. The twin ports of Los Ange-

The Oakland Airport would be flooded. Coastal communities would face mass evacuations, the report said.

Coastal planners

held meetings this week around the state to digest the information and review their evacuation plans.

Under the scenario, it would take about four hours for tsunami waves to crash into communities near the Oregon state line and about six hours to reach San

Diego — theoretically, allowing time for people to flee to higher ground.

The force of the waves would sink boats docked in marinas and damage harbours.

This “helps them understand what a bad tsunami can be,’’ said USGS seismologist Lucy Jones.

The team began work on the scenario before the magnitude-9.0 earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011 and triggered a tsunami. It went back to the drawing board after seeing the toll on Crescent City and other coastal cities. The group focused only on California, even though a powerful offshore Alaska quake would affect the West Coast.

Patrick Corcoran, an Oregon State University expert on earthquake and tsunami hazards, praised the scenario for being realistic. But he said it’s a challenge to

prepare people for a rare disaster.

“People just go into freak-out mode’’ when past tsunamis have hit the U.S., said Corcoran, who had no role in the report.

The latest scenario is similar to a quake exercise released several years ago designed to prepare California residents for the “Big One’’ on the San Andreas Fault. Unlike the quake report that estimated 1,800 casualties, scientists did not include a death toll this time since they could not predict how evacuations would be handled during a tsunami.

Since 1812, the California coast has seen only a handful of tsunamis with waves higher than 3 feet. The deadliest occurred in 1964 when a magnitude-9.2 quake in Alaska triggered tsunami waves that killed 12 people in Northern California.

Vancouver landlord urged to turn himself in over unlivable conditions Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — A landlord in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is being given the chance to turn himself in before police seek him out and arrest him.

Warrants for George Wolsey have been issued after Wolsey failed to appear in provincial court Tuesday to address the more than $18,000 the province’s Residential Tenancy Branch ordered him to pay 10 residents for squalid living conditions in the single-room occupancy hotel.

The residents complained they endured infestations of cockroaches and bed bugs and faced serious risk to

their health and safety while living in the hotel Wolsey owned.

The tenancy branch agreed in an order this spring.

A lawyer for the Pivot Legal Society says the warrants are a culmination of five years of work by lawyers and tenants against Wolsey, who no longer owns the hotel.

Lawyer Doug King says the warrants are an unprecedented step, the first he knows of in Vancouver.

King says 11 other residents also took action against Wolsey in 2011, but only three of them were able to obtain compensation from Wolsey.

Auctioneer shows 118-carat white diamond Verena Dobnik THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Minnesota Wild defenceman Clayton Stoner has come up against the Heiltsuk Tribal Council on the coast on the subject of trophy hunting grizzly bears.

NHL player caught up in trophy hunt disbute THE C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — An NHL player has been caught up in a demand by a British Columbia First Nation that trophy hunting be banned in its territory.

Minnesota Wild defenceman Clayton Stoner was photographed by a Heiltsuk Tribal Council field technician with parts of his grizzly kill this spring.

Stoner, who’s a B.C. native, is-

sued a statement saying he received a licence and shot the bear legally and that he’ll continue to hunt with family and friends in British Columbia.

The band says the bear its field crews named “Cheeky” was shot three times by trophy hunters last May, its head, fur and paws were removed and the body was left to rot in the Kwatna Estuary.

The Heiltsuk say Stoner’s hunt

is an example of why trophy hunting should be banned along coastal B.C., saying it’s at odds with First Nations’ values to shoot an animal and not use its meat.

The band claims trophy hunting makes no economic sense compared with eco-tourism, isn’t sound science and that it has the responsibility to protect the culturally-significant bears.

Prime minister publishing history of hockey book THE C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Stephen Harper can soon add another line to his resume: published author.

The prime minister’s book on the history of hockey is set to hit store shelves Nov. 5.

Titled “A Great Game: The Forgotten Leafs and the Rise of Professional Hockey,” the tome looks at the early years of the game.

It will also feature photographs of famous arenas and the game’s earliest star players.

“Drawing on extensive archival records and illustrations, histories of the sport, and newspaper files, A Great Game delves into the fascinating early years of ice hockey,” publisher Simon

and Schuster Canada said in a release Wednesday.

“It tells of the hockey heroes and hard-boiled businessmen who built the game, and the rise and fall of legendary teams pursuing the Stanley Cup.” Harper has spent years on the book, reportedly setting aside a few minutes each day to work on it. He is a member of the Society of International Hockey Research.

The prime minister is known to be a big hockey fan and regularly attends NHL games — although the Toronto-born Harper remains coy about his favourite team.

All Harper’s proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the

Canadian Forces Personnel and Family Support Services.

NEW YORK — A New York auction house is showing off what it calls the world’s greatest white diamond on the block — a 118-carat stone from Africa the size of a small egg.

The oval diamond glistened in its glass case Wednesday at Sotheby’s Manhattan headquarters, not yet mounted after it was mined and cut two years ago. It will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct. 7 and has a presale estimate of $28 million to $35 million.

In terms of size, quality, polish and colour, “this is the greatest white diamond we’ve ever had the privilege to sell,” said Quek Chin Yeow, deputy chairman of Sotheby’s Asia and an international diamond expert.

The stone was discovered in 2011 as a 299-carat rough diamond in a southern African country whose name Sotheby’s declined to disclose.

When asked why they could not give the exact source, auction house officials said the owner wishes to remain anonymous and that was the agreement.

The current record for any white

diamond is $26.7 million. That pearshaped stone was over 101 carats. It was sold at Christie’s in Geneva last spring.

Three other white diamonds over 100 carats were auctioned by Sotheby’s — in 1990, 1993 and 1995.

The white stone is part of a lineup of jewels up for auction that also includes a flawless, round, vivid blue diamond, worth an estimated $19 million at 7.6 carats.

It’s the largest, most significant such diamond graded by the Gemological Institute of America.

The reason these stones are going on the block in Hong Kong, Quek said, is that it has become a centre for jewelry sales and it’s there that the $1.7 million record price per carat for vivid blue diamonds was set — with the sale of a 6-carat blue diamond for $10.2 million in 2011.

Blue diamonds — more rare than white ones — are from the same colour family as the famed Hope Diamond, though a different hue. The Hope Diamond, which belongs to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, is not for sale.

Early Star Wars draft turned into graphic novel Matt Moore THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A young, idealistic rebel from a desert planet seeks to fight an unjust, tyrannical emperor with a space station capable of destroying planets.

“Star Wars,” the 1977 film? Not quite.

Try “The Star Wars,” the 1974 rough draft by George Lucas that, ultimately, turned into the wildly popular and still culturally resonant film.

Now, starting Wednesday, Dark Horse Comics is bringing the original script to life as an eight-issue miniseries — with Lucas’ blessing — giving fans a different take on Darth Vader (no helmet), Luke Skywalker (he’s older and a general), Princess Leia, Han Solo (he’s green), C-3PO and R2-D2 along with new ones like Anikinn Starkiller and his father, Kane.

Series writer J.W. Rinzler, an executive editor at LucasBooks, called the series a “once in a lifetime project” and the chance to tell the first story in the “Star Wars” pantheon.

“This is not something you could film,” Rinzler said of the original script and his adaptation of it. “Here’s a giant city and then here’s a giant vista filled with huge spacecraft. (Lucas) was

doing his blue sky version of what he wanted to do. He knew this was not going to be filmable.”

The story has similarities to “Star Wars,” but the differences throughout “The Star Wars” are plentiful and noticeable, Rinzler said, and readers will notice many of them as they explore each page, some big, some small.

“It’s just great when the Jedi break out their lazerswords. Guess what?

The storm troopers break out their lazerswords,” he said, noting that in this draft, there are no lightsabers and the Jedi are more akin to Errol Flynn-types than warrior monks.

Artist Mike Mayhew likened the book to a cinematic-inspired vision of “The Magnificent Seven” because it’s a team-oriented story with “each character having a big stake and they’re all connected.”

He also said his artwork, which goes into great detail in showing the characters, the ships, the worlds, gives a nod to conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie, who created the original concept art for the initial film trilogy.

Mayhew said there’s “so much more action, set creatures, such visual candy” in the miniseries.

BOOK YOUR BOOTH

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you are in the mindset to start a diet, clean your office or approach a situation differently, then this is the time to resolve to do just that. If you make that resolution, you will find it is easier to head down a new path.

Tonight: Start by sharing your decision with a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You finally will be able to straighten out a problem with a child or loved one and start on better footing. You might see quite a difference as a result.

When approaching a project, toss yourself completely into it, as it could be more fun than you think. Tonight: Spread your wings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) If you decide to turn around an annoying situation or domestic matter, you will be more likely to succeed if you start today. Financial opportunities are heading your way, and you might choose to head in a new direction as a result. Tonight: Treat a friend or

two to munchies.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might need to update your software, get a new security system or change the oil in your car.

Your main concern needs to be communication, though, and it will be crucial to have equipment that works. You even might opt to buy a new computer. Tonight: Hang out at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to news with an open mind. A new beginning might become possible in the realm of your finances. In your mind’s eye, consider what could happen and decide what you want. Laughter surrounds you. Good news also might come forward. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your magnetism draws others toward you. If you could have more smoothly flowing interactions, would you want that?

If the answer is “yes,” decide to create more of that energy in your life. You will have an easy time instrumenting that change.

Tonight: All smiles.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For Better or Worse

Spend some time reviewing what you feel is important to you, and consider enhancing the areas that bring you the most happiness. Use the day to make a personal assessment of your daily life; you will see only positive results. Tonight: Take some much-needed private time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might realize that you are on the verge of completing an unfinished project or pursuing an unmet goal. You’ll need to gain a new perspective, and, depending on the issue, possibly even speak with an expert or someone whom you respect. Tonight: Where friends are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have responded to others’ needs, so congratulate yourself on stepping up to the plate. Ask yourself if this is a pattern you would like to repeat. If not, step back gracefully and let others have the opportunity to assume some responsibility. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep searching for the pot of gold over the rainbow. What-

ever it is that you want, now is the time to act. Don’t leave this desire to good luck. Allow your determination to push you. A partner could prove to be beneficial in your pursuit. Tonight: Read between the lines.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A key relationship involving finances will push you toward change and possibly even some type of renewal. You often discuss personal matters with this person, and you trust and need his or her feedback, even if you don’t always see eye to eye. Tonight: Easy works.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Continue to let a loved one play a dominant role. You might question what is going on within your immediate circle and wonder what might be best for both of you. Make suggestions, but do not make the final decision alone. Tonight: A vibrant, meaningful discussion is possible.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 35-year-old man. Years ago, my mother developed a bad habit.

Whenever I was in the passenger side of the car, if she stopped short, she would put her arm against my chest to prevent me from going through the windshield. This infuriated me. I’m already wearing a seatbelt, and there is no way a woman her size could protect me. Every time she did this, I would yell, “Keep your hands on the wheel!” Eventually, she stopped.

My mother has always looked for ways to control me. She complains about every problem under the sun, and when I offer a workable solution, she says, “Well, some people can’t afford to do those things,” and we end up arguing. Her arguments are always stupid, and she’ll flip sides to make me look like the aggressor. It’s very manipulative and makes me furious.

In the past two years, I’ve avoided seeing or speaking to my parents. Recently, Mom asked me to see my grandmother. Against my better judgment, I went with her, and out of the blue, she did that thing again, putting her arm across my chest when she stopped suddenly.

I told her to pull over. She said, “I’m sorry, but I get nervous.” I said, “Then I don’t think I can trust you to drive” and walked home.

I don’t know anyone else who does this. It’s not normal. I suspect my mother wants to feel like the boss of the situation. What do you say? -- N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Every parent we know does this.

You interpret it as controlling and manipulative, but it is done out of an instinctive impulse to protect someone they love. Try to recognize that your feelings could indicate a skewed perspective about Mom’s motives and may be coloring your entire relationship. The two of you don’t seem to communicate in the same language. Please explore this with a professional counselor and work on ways to relate in a healthier and more productive manner. And ask your mother to go, too. We suspect she could benefit, as well.

Dear Annie: I recently broke up with a 70-year-old man who could not stop ogling women and making sexually inappropriate remarks to them. I talked to him about it many times and clearly stated that this is emotional cheating and he should stop or we’d be finished. He didn’t change, and it escalated to ogling strangers on elevators and women at parties. It was creepy. I was humiliated and embarrassed. After I broke up with him, I found out that he made sexually inappropriate remarks to some very young girls, saying he wanted to see them naked.

I suggested therapy. He said all men do this and told me to relax.

A friend of mine says he is a sexual predator and probably a sex addict. He always reads your column. Maybe you can shed some light. Is it a mental deficit or emotional cheating? -- Wondering in Canada Dear Canada: Both. If this inappropriate behavior began within the past few years, it could be an indication of early dementia.

Suggest he see his doctor. However, if he has always been like this, it is not only emotional cheating, but also worrisome. When you say “very young girls,” how young? If you believe he is preying on underage girls, please report him to the authorities.

Dear Annie: “Leave Us Alone” should tell her relatives they don’t want to start a family they can’t fully support. They should say they have set up two funds -- one to pay off their college loans and one for future children. When their loans are paid off and the one for future children is completely funded, they will consider trying. Then ask the nosy family member how much they are willing to contribute. -- Some Humor in Dallas Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Study shows specialized video game boosts mental powers of older players Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A specialized video game may help older people boost mental skills like handling multiple tasks at once.

In a preliminary study, healthy volunteers ages 60 to 85 showed gains in their ability to multitask, to stay focused on a boring activity and to keep information in mind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the kind of memory you use to remember a phone number long enough to write it down.

All those powers normally decline with age, Dr. Adam Gazzaley of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues noted in a study released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

The study was small, with only 16 volunteers training on the specially designed game. Gazzaley and other brain experts said bigger studies were needed to assess whether the game could actually help people function in their everyday lives. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-founder of a company that aims to develop a product from the research.

The work is the latest indication that people can help preserve

their brainpower as they age through mental activity. There are â&#x20AC;&#x153;brain trainingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; games on the market and books devoted to the topic. Gazzaley stressed that his results donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean any commercial video game can help mental performance. His game was designed to exercise specific abilities, he said.

The game, called NeuroRacer, involves doing two things simultaneously. A player uses a joystick to guide a car along a hilly, twisting road, steering it and controlling its speed. At the same time, a series of signs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actually, colored shapes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; appears on the screen. The player is supposed to push a button only when a particular kind of sign appears. Players were scored on how quickly and accurately they reacted to the right signs.

The game progresses to harder levels as a player improves, to keep it challenging.

In a separate experiment with 174 volunteers between the ages of 20 and 79, the researchers found that as people age, driving

the car interferes more with performance on reacting to the signs.

But for 14 of the 16 participants who played the game at home for a total of 12 hours over a month, the training decreased the amount of interference. In fact, on this measure they did better than a group of 20-year-olds who played the game for the first time.

The improvements were still apparent six months after the training stopped.

Researchers also found changes in brain wave activity that correlated with how well the improvement persisted at six months, as well as performance on a test of sustained attention for a boring task.

Brain experts unconnected with the study said previous research has shown that older people can improve on mental skills such as multitasking if they are trained. But the training in past multitasking studies was â&#x20AC;&#x153;boring,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Elizabeth Zelinski, a professor of gerontology and psychology at the University of Southern California.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Appâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; helps predict if lung lesions seen on CT are cancerous or benign: study Sheryl Ubelacker Canadian Press

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadian researchers have developed a software app that they hope will improve lung cancer screening around the world.

The risk-calculating software can predict with a high level of accuracy whether lesions, or nodules, in the lungs detected on a CT scan are likely to be malignant or benign.

That can help doctors determine whether a patient at high risk for lung cancer is likely to need an invasive biopsy or surgery, said co-principal investigator Dr. Stephen Lam, chair of the Provincial Lung Tumour Group at the B.C. Cancer Agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already know that CT screening saves lives,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Lam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we have evidence that our model and risk calculator can accurately predict which abnormalities that show up on a first CT require further followup ... and which ones do not.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The software was developed

by Martin Tammemagi, an epidemiologist at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont., and a member of the cross-Canada research team whose findings from two studies are reported in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the goals of the model is to help reduce the number of needless tests,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tammemagi said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we can identify with accuracy that a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nodule has low probability for lung cancer, then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll re-

ceive followups that include fewer CT screens, less biopsies and less surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will help minimize needless risk to the individual and needless suffering.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; To determine whether a spot seen on a CT of a current or former smoker is likely to be malignant, doctors feed information into the app. That data includes the size and density of the nodule and where in the lung it is located; the age and sex of the patient; and such clinical details as whether the person has emphysema or a family history of the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we get a risk index calculated within a couple of minutes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lam said Wednesday from Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accurate nine in 10 times.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for small nodules; in larger lesions, the accuracy rate is even higher â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 97 per cent, he said.

Their research showed that while nodule size is one predictor of lung cancer, the largest nodule appearing on a CT among study participants was not necessarily cancerous. The researchers found that nodules located in the upper lobes of the lung carry an increased probability of cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, in the first CT, over 20 per cent of the participants in a screening program would be found to have one or more abnormal spots on the CT scan,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Lam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But only a few per cent would be cancerous.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The studies involved almost 3,000 current and former smokers aged 50 to 75, who had more than 12,000 lung nodules in total de-

tected by CT scans. Of those, 144 were found to be cancerous. Participants were part of one of two studies, the first of which followed patients for three years, while the second averaged 8.5 years of followup.

One of those patients is Chris Douglas of Vancouver, who smoked for about 40 years and was only able to quit once he enrolled in the study six years ago.

When his third annual CT scan showed that a nodule in his lower right lung was getting larger and denser, doctors performed a biopsy and determined the lesion was cancerous, Douglas said.

He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I was engaging in risky behaviour,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Douglas, 65. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had seen the result of smoking in my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; generation and in my own. It can be very aggressive by the time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was almost more relieved that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been offered the opportunity for early detection.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He had surgery to remove the area in his lung that contained the tumour, and subsequent CT scans have turned up no evidence of new potentially cancerous nodules.

The studies were funded by the Terry Fox Research Institute, the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer and the U.S. Public Health Service National Cancer Institute.

Lung cancer kills more than 20,000 Canadians annually and is the leading cause of cancer death in Canada for both men and women, according to Canadian Cancer Society statistics.

Life on an escorted coach tour Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel writes of a great sampler of the wonders of Europe

A few years ago, I experienced my first escorted coach tour in Europe, travelling a total distance of 1,800 kilometres in seven days.

This is a great way to see a lot of sights in a short period of time, in a safe environment, with knowledgeable tour guides. Overall, it is an affordable way to visit Europe. I highly recommend it. Here are some of the highlights from my trip.

Arrived in Amsterdam. Weather is damp and Holland is flat. But look at the windmills dotting the countryside and flowers everywhere!

Our tour began with a walk through Dam Square, then we did a canal cruise. Getting to know our group.

In the evening we toured the Red Light District with our guide, we felt safe and it was very interesting! We dined at the Sea Palace Restaurant, a floating restaurant serving Indonesian food, oddly enough!

On the bus at 8 a.m., headed for Germany, just two hours away.

Our lunch stop was in Cologne, where we walked through the town, had lunch in a quaint pub, and toured the brewery. We went on a cruise for two hours down the Rhine viewing spectacular castles, before overnighting in a small town called Alzey.

Next day, it was off to Heidelberg and the Black Forest. Lunch of goulash and what else... black forest cake! Then we were in Switzerland.

A stop at Rhein Falls and then Zurich for some shopping. Back on the bus and arrived in Luzern for the night. Our tour guides took us to a lively nightclub for some local culture!

Luzern in the morning was beautiful – the town is surrounded by the Swiss Alps. We toured Mount Pilatus, twogondola rides up to the top. Stunning views!

Following lunch in the panoramic restaurant, we took a one hour cruise of Lake Luzern.

The next day we crossed into the Alsace region of France, drove

Luzern, Switzerland — the city on the lake. An escorted coach tour of Europe gives you first hadn fun, sightseeing, and culture. through Burgundy wine country where we stopped in Beaune for lunch. We toured some wine ‘caves’ and sampled a little, then off to

Paris. Once we arrived, we spent the evening visiting Montmartre, Sacre Coeur, and an ‘Illuminations’ tour to the brilliantly lit Eiffel

Tower. To bed – 2 am!

Another day in Paris, with a city tour and our evening ‘farewell’ dinner at a lovely bistro.

Accordian player, lots of

wine, laughs and photos with our new-found friends. Following dinner, it was off to the Moulin Rouge show.

Another 2 am bedtime!

And there you have it! The bus driver, tour leader, and your fellow coach-mates, become your family for a week of fun, sightseeing, and

culture. Almost all-inclusive, safe, easy – a great sampler of the wonders of Europe!

NEWS Prolific science fiction writer Frederik Pohl dead at 93 ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Author Frederik Pohl, who over decades gained a reputation of being a literate and sophisticated writer of science fiction, has died at age 93.

His wife, Elizabeth Hull, said Tuesday that Pohl died Monday at a hospital after experiencing respiratory problems at his home in the Chicago suburb of Palatine.

News of his death was first announced by his granddaughter, Emily Pohl-Weary, in a tweet.

Pohl wrote more than 40 novels. Two of his

THE

better-known works were “The Space Merchants,’’ written in the early 1950s with Cyril M. Kornbluth, and 1978’s “Gateway,’’ a winner of the Hugo Award for science fiction writing.

Pohl was a literary agent and editor before getting his own work published in science fiction magazines of the 1930s. He’s credited with launching the careers of James Blish and Larry Niven.

“It is difficult to sum up the significance of Frederik Pohl to the science fiction field in few words,’’ Pohl’s editor

James Frenkel said in an obituary released by the family. “He was instrumental to the flowering of the field in the midto-late 20th century, and it is hard to dispute that the field would be much the poorer without his talent and remarkable body of work as a magazine and book editor, a collaborator and a solo author.’’

Pohl’s career began in 1937 with the sale of a poem, “Elegy to a Dead Satellite: Luna,’’ to Amazing Stories magazine. He went on to edit Astonishing Stories, Super Science Stories, Galaxy and If magazines, as well as an original anthology series, Star Science Fiction. As a book editor, he worked on Samuel R. Delaney’s “Dhalgren’’ and Joanna Russ’s “The Female Man.’’ As a literary agent, Pohl represented Isaac Asimov, Algis Budrys, Hal Clement, Fritz Leiber and John Wyndham.

Pohl was born in New York City in 1919.

Despite dropping out of high school, his ambition was to be a professional writer. Friends described him as an avid reader, who read the works of Tolstoy in addition to science fiction magazines.

He served in the U.S. Army during World War II and was stationed in Italy, and after his discharge wrote advertising copy for a mail order publisher. After becoming a literary agent again, Pohl helped Asimov publish his first novel “Pebble in the Sky’’ in 1950. Although he devoted much of his time to writing in the 1970s, he also was science fiction editor at Bantam Books.

In 2009, Pohl launched “The Way the Future Blogs,’’ in which he wrote about his life, the science-fiction community, science and championed progressive politics.
