Government to sell coal property

The government of Canada plans to sell 20,000 hectares of untapped coal-rich land in the Elk Valley SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

The federal government has announced its plan to sell two pieces of coal-rich land in the Elk Valley.

The Dominion Coal Blocks, known locally as Lot 73 and Lot 82, are large parcels of land east of Fernie that have belonged to the Government of Canada since 1905.

But last month, Natural Resources Canada announced its plans to

sell the properties.

“When I got to Ottawa in 2011 it was one of my first projects, to see if we could divest of the coal blocks because they are of no value to the federal government from the perspective of natural extraction,” said Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks. “The only way it is going to work is for companies to be able to bid on them and hopefully obtain the coal that is in them.”

Annual book binge is back Get ready for fall book sale, in aid of Cranbrook’s Library, Oct. 2-6 ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

The Friends of the Public Library Society is preparing for one of its biggest fundraisers of the year – the Fall Book Sale. The sale starts Wednesday, Oct. 2 and runs until Oct. 6. It will be held at the Ktunaxa Gymnasium. For the sale the Friends partner with the Sunrise Rotary Club and split the proceeds equally.

Last year, the Friends portion was $7,000, which went back into the library; this year it could be even more.

“We expected over 10,000 books and I would say we have more donations this year than ever before,” said Marilyn Forbes, past-president of the Friends of the Library and director of the book sale.

FuN for the whole family!

It’s Cookie Week in Cranbrook once again. On Monday, Sept. 23, Tim Hortons restaurant owners in Cranbrook launched the Smile Cookie Campaign — proceeds from sales of special smiling chocolate chunk cookies throughout the week are being donated to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health and the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary. The $1 treat helps charities, hospitals and community programs across Canada in the cities where they are sold. For EKFH and CHCA this means the opportunity to purchase two reclining phlebotomy chairs for the Ambulatory Care Department and a broda chair for the third floor at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Volunteers are out in force selling the cookies — at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital, they managed to sell 456 cookies on day one of the campaign and received over $50 in donations. The cookies will be on sale at the hospital all week, so check it out. Pictured above are Audrey Bleaney, Betty Nakahara, Barb Barbour and Bev Daniels, all volunteers with the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary.

This is the opening statement in a study commissioned by the Golden Food Bank to look at food banks in the Columbia Basin. Funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, the study took an in-depth look at

food banks in this area, what their unique challenges are, and how they could work together to support each other.

This week at the Kimberley Conference Centre, 11 of 19 food banks — including Kimberley and Cranbrook — in the Basin met to talk about the study and to learn from each

other.

The conference was organized by the Golden Food Bank, but held in Kimberley as a central point in the valley in order to facilitate as many people being able to attend as possible.

Local NEWS Bellies to Babies says: How do you like them apples?

Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

As harvest season rolls on, a local infants agency is offering the pick of the Okanagan orchards as a fundraising

initiative.

On October 6, Bellies to Babies will bring in a truckload of fresh ambrosia apples from an Okanagan orchard for Cranbrook residents to

Last year, about 60 boxes of ambrosia apples were sold in Cranbrook, totalling 1,500 pounds. It raised about $800.

The apples are picked less than a week before they are delivered.

“Compared to a lot of what else you buy, that’s pretty fresh,” Pat said, adding that they keep well, too.

A 20-pound box of apples is $25; a 10pound bag is $13. Order apples before October 1 to be sure you don’t miss out.

To place an order, email pchisholm_bb@

On Monday, Oct. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., some of the apples will be for sale outside the United Way office on Baker Street in Cranbrook. There, you can pick up smaller bags of apples.

Naturalists converge in Cranbrook for meeting Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The Rocky Mountain Naturalists invited naturalists from all over B.C. to come to Cranbrook as they hosted the B.C. Nature fall general meeting. As well as the actual meeting, there was also three days worth of events going on, from birding at Elizabeth Lake to reintroducing Northern Leopard Frogs into their historic range at Bummer’s Flats.

Daryl Calder, a member of the local naturalists said there were 100 registrants for the events.

“A lot of people hadn’t been to the East Kootenay before,” he said. Each group has found unique ways to deal with things. “We approach some things differently than other groups, we have different issues.”

Calder noted that in the East Kootenay there are an abundance of stakeholders all vying for a spot in the area

and a different goal.

“It lends itself to more discussion in depth to get to the heart of the issue,” he said.

The theme of the conference was Earth, Wind, Fire and Water, to signify the land, air, fires and the rivers and streams.

“The presenters and the field trips were absolutely fantastic,” said Greg Ross, member of the naturalists and B.C. Nature. Ross was especially impressed with the organization of the non-profit society and the quality of the speakers presentations. “”We did try to focus on a spiritual element here,” he said. “It’s not a religious doctrine, it’s the spirit of nature – everything’s connected.

We wanted to show how everything is connected between earth, wind, fire and water.”

He said that each presenter complemented the pre-

sentations of the others in that sense.

Those presentations included ‘Air Quality Vital to Life’ with Ingrid Liepa, ‘Ktunaxa Creation Story’ with Joe Pierre, ‘Native Plants of the Cranbrook Community Forest’ with Mike Keefer, ‘Ecosystem Restoration in the Rocky Mountain Trench’ with Randy Harris, a keynote by nature photographer Brian Clarkson, and many more.

Ross noted that wellknown local naturalist Art Gruenig had a presentation on 20 years of bluebird monitoring. After touring the group around Gruenig took them down to Elizabeth Lake to show them a turtle nest with turtles in it.

Other big topics at the meeting were loss of habitat, pipeline and mining issues.

“We all realized that this oil has to be sold someplace and trying to figure out the best way to do it with the

“Every step of the way we’re going to be protesting, but it’s not because we don’t

want it to happen. We realize it’s going to have to happen.

But there has to be thought put into it and input by all the people to express their concerns and this has to be remedied.”

He said the naturalists hope to be made a stakeholder in issues like the pipeline.

“We can offer solutions for what is the best practice to go through grasslands and restore it after,” Calder said.

“It may well be more expensive, but in the long run it may actually be an enhancement.”

Another issue has been an expansion of protected areas without funding to actually manage them.

“Compared to the ‘60s and ‘70s the budget has absolutely gone completely down,” Ross said. “At one time we used to have interpretive centres in every provincial park. Now it’s all done on a volunteer basis.”

Flathead property needs protection: Wildsight Continued from page 1 The Dominion Coal Blocks were acquired by the federal government in 1905 as part of an agreement between the Canadian government and the railway companies that established the Crowsnest Pass rail route.

“The federal government has owned the land since that time and over the years they have come to realize that it does have potential value for natural resource extraction. With them owning it, they are not in the business of doing natural resource extraction,” said MP Wilks.

Lot 73 is a 2,000 hectare parcel located northeast of Fernie, next to Teck’s Coal Mountain operations. “(Lot 73) does make sense for (Teck) because it’s between Coal Mountain and Martin Wheeler – it’s kind of plopped in between there, so they would probably have an interest in Lot 73,” explained Wilks.

Much larger, Lot 82 covers 18,000 hectares further south of Lot 73, between the Elk River and Flathead River watersheds.

The Dominion Coal Blocks, owned by the federal government since 1905, will soon be offered to mining companies.

Some of Lot 82 falls inside the contentious Flathead Valley. Environmental groups have long called for protection of the Flathead, saying it is important wilderness for water quality and wildlife populations.

In 2010, the B.C. government and Canadian government signed an agreement with the state of Montana and

the United States government to protect the Flathead, which is adjacent to the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, a designated World Heritage Site.

In November 2011, the B.C. government passed the Flathead Watershed Conservation Act, which bans mining and oil and gas activity in the Flathead.

According to MP Wilks, the portion of Lot 82 that lies in the Flathead will not be part of the sale of the Coal Blocks.

“Lot 82 has been subdivided so that the part of Lot 82 that drains into the Flathead is protected and cannot be mined,” said Wilks.

But environmental groups continue to work for a national park in the

Flathead.

“While details around the planned sale are not yet clear, we are encouraged that the federal government has confirmed that portions of the coal blocks overlapping with the Flathead River watershed will not be included in the sale, and that discussions with the province are under way to ensure the protection of the entire watershed from development,” said John Bergenske, Wildsight.

“The Dominion Coal Block lands in the Flathead are critical for the integrity of the watershed as a whole. Although this announcement is promising, we need these areas to be legally protected under the existing ban on mining and energy development,” said Peter Wood of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society.

“We remain concerned that coal extraction adjacent to the Flathead will jeopardize connectivity in the longest remaining wildlife corridor on continent,” said Wendy Francis, Yukon to Yellowstone Conservation Initiative.

Now that the government of Canada has announced its plans to di-

vest the Dominion Coal Blocks, it has set the process in motion.

“It was certainly a challenge for the federal government to deal with all of the bureaucracy that comes along with it but I’m glad to see they got through it,” said MP Wilks.

The government is engaged in consultation with the Ktunaxa, the B.C. government and other key stakeholders.

Then mining companies will have the op-

portunity to bid on pieces of the land.

Wilks said the sale will benefit the East Kootenay, as communities will be able to collect mining tax from the operations.

“When a mining company invests in natural resource extraction, they are subject to Class 4 taxation, which allows for a municipality to tax the said company for the extraction. That is already established,” he said.

Rows of books filled the Ktunaxa building’s gymnasium before last year’s fall book sale opened its doors.

Book sale funds library material Continued from page 1

Donations are taken year-round, and added to that are discards from the library itself.

“People can just take their books to the circulation desk in the library,” Forbes said.

They take almost every type of book except encyclopedias, since they don’t sell and are heavy for the volunteers to lug around.

Pocket books in mystery and fiction categories are best-sellers, but only comprise a part of the overall books on sale.

“We have 40 different categories in that book sale,” she said. “It goes from cooking history to gardening to travel, poetry, new releases.”

There’s also a children’s section with assorted categories as well as other media such as CDs and books on tape.

“The Friends always use their money to buy new reading material for the library and Sunrise Rotary always uses theirs for their projects in the community,” she explained.

The event has been going on for 14

years now. The Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library themselves have been around since 1998. Their mandate is to raise funds for the library as well as promote the services of the library. They apply for grants, fundraise and help with library events as much as they can.

The sale starts next Wednesday, but a membership to the Friends is required to be among the first perusers. A membership can be purchased at the door for $10 and the sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Membership also includes a 10 per cent discount.

On Thursday the sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and no membership is necessary.

On Friday and Saturday the sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

On Sunday the sale runs from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes the bag sale. Bring your Friends of the Public Library bag and fill it for $4, or one can be purchased and filled for $5.

The Ktunaxa Gym is located in the former Tembec building at 220 – Cranbrook Street North, right across from the Cranbrook Public Library.

The future of food banks Continued from page 1 Barb Davies from the Golden Food Bank says a lot can be learned from the study.

“We learned that there is a huge amount of diversity in terms of how food banks in this area operate. But we do face common challenges. It seemed a good idea to bring food banks together to see how we can work together.”

The conference, also funded by CBT, is the first gathering of Basin food banks. While many volunteers from area food banks do attend the annual Food Bank BC conference, they may find they don’t have an awful lot in common with large food banks in areas like Surrey, where there may be 200 people lined up for assistance in the morning.

“We are really excited to have Basin food banks together,” Davies said.

Although the conference is regional, the executive director of Food Banks BC, Laura Lansink, attended.

Lansink says the Food Banks of the

Columbia Basin study confirms what is happening throughout the province, and there is reason for optimism as well as concern over hunger.

“What are we doing about hunger?

What is the future of food banks? This report highlights some things that are disturbing, shocking, but it is also encouraging to see how hard these people are working to make a difference.

“Across B.C. we serve 97,000 people, 29 per cent of them are children.”

Davies says numbers in the Basin are holding steady after reaching a peak in 2008 at the height of the recession. Unfortunately, they haven’t fallen from that peak.

“B.C. on average has the worst poverty rate, the second worst child poverty rate,” Linsink said. “One in seven children live below the poverty line.

Think about that. Three or four kids in each classroom. In a small school with ten classes, that’s 30 or 40 children who live under the poverty line. When you compare lunches with the haves and the have-nots, it’s very painful.

We are not doing very well in B.C.”

Alice Cooper and super scooters “Linguists studying the lyrics used by singer Quasimodo have yet to decide what language he uses.”

“A

coupla things bothered me in the paper last week.” Ralphie was having a mumble. He was lolling there looking like the only living person being treated for rigor mortis and not one of us was bothering to listen.

George had recently decided that Gwynne Dyer (who writes in this very paper) was right about Syria, and nothing could be done about the situation, but Ralphie was off again; he was ranting on about Alice Cooper coming to town. I had to be reminded who Alice Cooper was. Had I taught her in school?

After I had been straightened out, Ralphie told us what was upsetting him. He said, “Alice Cooper is coming to town. I am real sure some folk will get all wound up and spend a packet to watch this performance, which might possibly include guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, boa constrictors, and even baby dolls. I can scarcely suppress my enthusiasm; I wonder if he’ll play Welcome to my Nightmare.”

But I was reminiscing: When my very old friend Pete and I meet, as we do fre-

quently, we get into very confusing conversations as we’re both apt to forget what the subject at hand happens to be. We are of an age and therefore likely to agree but, when it comes to music, we both love jazz and swing, but we have a big difference of opinion. Pete has always enjoyed travelling in order to watch bands playing. Maybe that is because he is a musician.

I, however, would rather not watch the perforPeter mance. I was brought up to music. I heard Warland listening the big swing bands on the British Broadcasting Company or the American Forces Network but was disillusioned when I first saw them.

The Andrews Sisters sounded great but their skinny legs bothered me when they tried to prance around to The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, and Nellie Lutcher, whose voice I adored, was a real let down when I saw her on film. Music, I am positive, is to be listened to, not watched. I, personally, shall not bother to go to see Alice Cooper; anyway, I probably won’t be able to understand what she/he sings.

George was more interested in the piece in the paper about lower local speed limits on scooters and motorized wheelchairs. He reckons he might be forced into one soon, especially if he’s cornered into taking a driving test. Old folk are apt to get pounced upon by the government, even if

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

they haven’t fallen asleep at the wheel or driven through the front door of the supermarket. We elderly gentlefolk worry about this sort of thing.

I, personally, worry about losing my driving licence and being forced into driving an electric buggy. They’re slow enough, and now various authorities want to limit the speed at which they can be driven. If I can no longer drive my pick-up, I ask myself, how the devil am I going to get up for walks in the mountains?

Imagine the performance should I decide to take a hike up even a gentle stroll like Lakit lookout. It’ll take half a day to get to Fort Steele, then I’ll probably be forced to re-charge the battery. After that, it’s going to be a rough ride up the Wildhorse road and then even worse up the old Kootenay Base Metals Mine Road to the start of the trail. I wonder if I’ll be forced to pack an extra battery for the ride down. George reckons I could use the one from my pace-maker, ha ha!

Anyway, after I’ve puffed up to the cabin at the top and then tottered down again I’ll have that tedious ride down to Fort Steele where I’ll need more than a battery re-charged.

No! We old folk don’t need to be limited in our movements any more than nature has done to us. What we’re going to need are faster, more efficient wheel-chairs with no speed limits.

I bet Alice Cooper will agree.

Jordyn Boyd reassigned to undetermined Jr. A team

STEPHEN WHYNO Canadian Press

The Kootenay Ice have pared down their roster to 23 players, reassigning veteran Jordyn Boyd to a Jr. A team to be determined, on Tuesday afternoon.

Boyd, a 19-year-old left-winger, has played two seasons in the WHL, first as a rookie with the Everett Silvertips, before coming up to the Ice via an off-season trade a year ago.

In 121 career WHL games, Boyd tallied 25 points with 15 goals and 10 assists.

A native of Winnipeg, Boyd is the younger brother of Dustin Boyd, a professional hockey player competing overseas in the KHL in Kazakhstan. The elder Boyd played under Ice head coach Ryan McGill

TORONTO - Watching from high above the ice, Mark Fraser knew almost immediately that David Clarkson was in trouble.

When he and his Toronto Maple Leafs teammates saw Clarkson jump over the bench to join the brawl with the Buffalo Sabres, Fraser figured a suspension was coming. The NHL gave Clarkson an automatic 10-game suspension, just as everyone expected.

“It’s just one of the rules,” Fraser said. “It’s just an unfortunate circumstance, but we’ll all take the reality of it for what it is.”

The reality is that the Leafs now face major roster questions at the start of the regular season.

They’ll have to find a way to replace Clarkson in the lineup Oct. 1 at Montreal without the aid of extra cap space because his $5.25-million hit will continue to count for the length of the suspension.

The Leafs caught a break that forward Phil Kessel was suspended only the rest of the pre-season and no regular-season games for his slashes on Sabres enforcer John Scott. Had the cap-strapped Leafs been forced to find a replacement for Kessel as well, things could have gotten dicey.

in the AHL a few years ago.

Boyd’s departure leaves 13 forwards on the roster, eight defencemen and two goaltenders.

The Ice are still awaiting the arrival of Russian import defenceman Rinat Valiev, who is awaiting a Canadian visa.

Hudson Elynuik, Matthew Alfaro, and Zach Zborosky are the remaining forward prospects held over from training camp, while Troy Murray, Dylan Overdyk and Jordan Steenbergen are fighting for spots on the blue line.

NHL fines Sabres coach Ralston after brawl C ANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK - Buffalo Sabres coach Ron Rolston has been fined by the NHL for his role in Sunday’s brawl with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The NHL said Rolston was fined for “player selection and team conduct” after putting six-foot-eight enforcer John Scott on the ice after a fight between Toronto’s Jamie Devane and Buffalo’s Corey Tropp. In its

news release announcing the fine, the league said Scott “initiated an altercation” with Leafs forward Phil Kessel.

The amount of Rolston’s fine was not disclosed.

Because the Leafs were at home, coach Randy Carlyle had the last change. He said he put Kessel’s line on the ice to diffuse the situation after Devane and Tropp fought.

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Ice forward Jordyn Boyd has been reassigned.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

Injuries to Frazer McLaren (broken finger), Colton Orr (leg bone bruise) and Dave Bolland (groin) already complicate the situation, even though coach Randy Carlyle expects Bolland to play again during the pre-season.

Even assuming Bolland is ready for the season opener, Clarkson’s suspension opens up a spot for someone like Trevor Smith, Troy Bodie or Carter Ashton.

“When somebody’s out of the lineup, there’s an opportunity for somebody else to fill that spot,” Carlyle said. “We have young kids that have had (an) extended number of games in the exhibition schedule here, and we’re going to continue to take a look at them.”

With Clarkson out, Carlyle ac-

knowledged that the Leafs have a “shortage” of right-wingers. He pointed to players like Josh Leivo and Jamie Devane as possibilities, adding that he hadn’t asked Mason Raymond about playing the right side.

Raymond, who signed a $1-million, one-year deal Monday after he went to camp on a professional tryout, said he played all three forward positions at times while with the Vancouver Canucks. The speedy winger’s versatility could prove valuable to the Leafs in the first month of the season.

“There’s advantages and disadvantages, I think, to both sides,” Raymond said. “I don’t think it’s too much to adjust to.

It’s a lot of communication between your teammates and yourself in your end on who’s the first guy back. But I wouldn’t see that being a problem.”

It would be a bigger problem if the Leafs are pressed into a situation that includes two or three AHL-level players in the opening-night lineup. But they could be facing just that after Sunday night’s brawl.

Teammates refused to blame Clarkson for leaving the bench to come to the aid of Kessel, who was being challenged by the sixfoot-eight Scott.

NFL hops the pond, will play in UK PAUL LOGOTHE TIS Associated Press

LONDON - The NFL is back in London boasting the star power of Adrian Peterson and Ben Roethlisberger.

Trouble is, their teams have nothing to brag about.

The Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers are both 0-3 heading into Sunday’s game at Wembley Stadium, and a fourth loss will all but put the playoffs out of reach for one of them.

The first of two regular-season NFL games is

expected to be a sellout despite the teams’ current woes.

“It doesn’t bother me. I love the atmosphere,” said Rachel Green, who with husband Matt has been to all six of the NFL games played at Wembley. “I prefer it to be close, which it will more likely be with them both 0-3.”

As of Tuesday, about 84,000 tickets had been sold, with only singles and premium seats still up for grabs.

The Vikings arrived in London on Tuesday and were already mix-

ing with local schoolchildren and fans as part of the duties of the designated home team.

The Steelers arrive Friday.

All eyes will be on Peterson, the Vikings running back, and Roethlisberger, the Steelers quarterback, as they look to lead their clubs to victory with their seasons teetering on the brink. Minnesota lost 31-27 to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, while the Steelers fell 40-23 to the Chicago Bears.

“These are two teams that the U.K. crowd have not seen before and you have star power with the Vikings in Adrian Peterson and, with the Steelers, you have one of the most successful franchises in NFL history,” NFL UK managing director Alistair Kirkwood said.

“What you want is a very competitive game, and you know you are going to get it with both teams going after a must-win.”

The New England

Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos are among the teams that have played in London since the International Series was launched. The New York Giants’ victory over the Miami Dolphins in the inaugural 2007 game helped turn their season around en route to winning the Super Bowl.

The Vikings went 10-6 last season and made the playoffs, while the Steelers finished 8-8. When they were selected to play in London, no one could have expected they would be a combined 0-6 heading into this week’s game.

“For me, the chance to see a team as storied and famous as the Steelers is a big draw,” said 30-year-old Matt Green, who counts the Green Bay Packers as his favourite team. “It’ll be interesting to see how a franchise that has been challenging year in, year out will cope with the difficulties they’ve been facing recently.”

Riders brave weather for Six in Stix Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Though the weather wasn’t exactly ideal, cyclists braved the intermittent rain squalls through six hours of trail riding at the Six in the Stix race on Sunday at the College of the Rockies.

Riders hit the 11.9 km trail through the community forest from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in six straight hours of riding, with the goal of completing as many laps as possible within the six-hour window.

It’s was fourth annual instalment of the event, co-hosted by Charlie Cooper of RM Events and Favorit Cycles.

“It went really well,” said Cooper, “It exceeded my expectations, just based on registration in early September, numbers were quite low and it was nice that they did climb throughout all of September. “…We didn’t get too wet, we had a couple showers and the rest of the time it was okay.”

It was a two-day event, with the kids races on Saturday, before the adults hit the course on Sunday. The kids were split up into three divisions, with a 15-minute race on the pavement for the toddlers, and a short 30-minute and 60-minute trail course for the older youths.

“We had 68 children take part in three different types of races, so that was pretty cool,” Cooper added.

“On Sunday we had the largest field yet for the Six in the Stix for the adults, and the race seemed like, from my perspective and what other people said, it ran quite smoothly.”

The course was the same as last year, and Cooper said it got high marks from the competitors.

“For people that like their mountain biking, there’s some flatter, flowy, twisty trails, combined with a couple challenging uphills, where probably a good portion

of people do push that shorter section uphill,” Cooper said.

“Then there’s some semi-technical descents where you definitely have to be on your toes.”

Riders had to make their way through the upper part of the College of the Rockies parking lot as part of the transition area, which served as the hub of the race.

“It’s a pretty neat event, with the relay teams doing exchanges, just such a nice atmosphere at the staging area,” said Cooper, “we got the music pumping and people hanging out and cheering, and the barbecue from the Wildhorse Cycling Club.”

Kalvin Klassen served as the DJ and musician, the Wildhorse Cycling Club served up a barbecue, and the Cranbrook Community Forest Society was out as well.

Cooper also sends a big shout-out to sponsors and volunteers who helped make it a successful event.

Blue Jays eliminate Orioles from playoff hunt with 3-2 win

BALTIMORE - The Toronto Blue Jays eliminated Baltimore from the playoff hunt Tuesday night, using two clutch RBI singles by Mark DeRosa to beat the Orioles 3-2 in 10 innings.

Baltimore’s sixth straight loss, combined with Cleveland’s comeback win over the Chicago White Sox, left the Orioles six games behind the Indians for the final wild-card slot with five games left.

DeRosa singled in the tying run in the eighth inning and put the Blue Jays ahead in the 10th.

Sergio Santos (1-1) worked a perfect ninth and Casey Janssen got three outs for his 34th save.

Jose Reyes drew a one-out walk in the Toronto 10th off Francisco Rodriguez (2-1) and Munenori Kawasaki singled. Reyes appeared to be picked off second but was called safe, drawing Orioles manager Buck Showalter out to argue the call. Brett Lawrie then hit into a fielder’s choice and DeRosa singled to right.

British woman completes solo ocean row from Japan to Alaska Mark Thiessen Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A 28-year-old British adventurer became the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska, arriving late Monday at a small town in the Aleutian Islands after 150 days at sea.

“I have had some of the most intense and memorable months of my life out on the Pacific. It has been brilliant and brutal at the same time,’’ Sarah Outen said in a statement. “And it has been a privilege.’’

Outen celebrated with a bottle of champagne in Adak, Alaska, and greeted community members and supporters, her first human contact in nearly five months, as first reported by the Anchorage Daily News.

She left Choshi, Japan, on April 27 and was at sea for 6,034 kilometres. It is part of her plan for a global trek by an ocean rowing shell, kayak and bike.

“I have pushed myself to my absolute limits both physically and mentally to make land here in Alaska, and body and mind are now exhausted,’’ she said.

On Monday afternoon, Outen came within a half mile of the Alaska shore before winds and currents started pushing her onto the rocks. Her support team decided it was safer to tow her into Adak’s small boat harbour.

On the row, she battled dangerous seas, and her boat, Happy

British adventurer Sarah Outen arrives in Alaska.

Socks, capsized five times. In the last few days, she almost hit a cargo ship after her radar failed, and battled cooling temperatures and increasing darkness.

Outen also tweeted about whiteout fog and exhaustion-induced hallucinations in the final, treacherous miles to Adak, the newspaper reported.

But for Outen, who has a biology degree from Oxford University, seeing wildlife like albatross and whales made up for all the uncomfortable moments. According to the statement, the highlight was a shark circling her as she rowed.

Along the way, she also got engaged to her longtime girlfriend back home during a satel-

lite phone call from the middle of the ocean.

She had initially wanted to row from Japan to Canada, but the punishing weather caused a course change to Alaska.

Next spring, she plans to return to Adak with a teammate, Justin Curgenven, to continue the kayak trip to mainland Alaska. She will then bike across Canada and North America before attempting a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean to the United Kingdom.

Outen’s first attempt at the crossing ended in 2012 when she and another ocean rower had to be rescued near Japan after their boats were badly damaged in a tropical storm.

B.C. scientist wins big at Google’s science fair C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A 15-year-old Victoria student who invented a flashlight powered by body heat is one of the big winners at Google’s annual international science fair.

Ann Makosinski won in the 15-16 age category, beating out thousands of other budding young scientists from around the world.

The “Hollow Flashlight’’ runs off the heat of

the hand holding it, using special tiles that generate electricity from the heat flow between the palm on one side and the ambient air on the other.

Makosinski says she wants to reduce the number of batteries being discarded into the environment, and was inspired by her visits to small villages in the Philippines, where she knows many kids don’t have electricity for lights

Friday, October 18 3pm - 8pm

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You naturally are drawn to the most unexpected situations.

The question is: Which way do you go? The answer will emerge quickly, as you are not one for waiting. Understand that many people see you manifest your desires like lightning. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Take a look at what is going on within your immediate circle.

Understand what is taking place behind the scenes with a money matter. You might sense some deception. If that is the case, go for a holding position rather than cause yourself a bigger problem. Tonight: Your treat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll beam in more of what you want in order to make a situation work. Fatigue might be the only obstacle preventing you from bringing others together to gain the support that you think you need. You might choose to continue, regardless. Tonight: Ease the pace a bit.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Everyone has days when they don’t feel quite up to snuff. Why would you be any different? Allow yourself to call out of work for the day. If you already aren’t working, play it low-key. Take this time to revitalize and do what you want for a change.

Tonight: Not to be found.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to see a situation evolve to a new level. It is your focused energy that will take it there. Be sure to take your time, and sift through each possibility to the same end. Trust yourself to find the most appropriate method to get there.

Tonight: Share your ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Visualize and create a better platform from which to work, whether you are a boss or an employee. You will find that your effectiveness will be enhanced, and others will respond in a more authentic manner. Tonight: Discuss a grievance with a wise family member or friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your ability to gather the facts

For Better or Worse

and see what is missing will help you as well as others. You’ll weigh the pros and cons of an issue, but know that the outcome will be positive. You have time to fill in the blanks. Someone’s criticism might just be jealousy.

Tonight: In the limelight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to news, and ask for a friend’s perspective. You might opt to go along with this person’s thinking. You could be surprised by the way events play out as a result. When allowed to wander, your mind will come up with amazing scenarios! Tonight: Togetherness works.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be taken aback by a situation that is developing.

Maintain a sense of humor. You will be happier as a result, and you also will gain a new perspective with ease. Understand what is going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Listen to others’ “war stories” of the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your caring yet methodical manner creates change quickly.

Realize what is happening with-

in your circle of friends. Someone might be angry, and this person is likely to toss a boulder in your way. Do not take his or her reaction personally. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will go directly toward a creative option that appears quite suddenly. Finding out what is workable could test your limits.

You might be holding back your feelings, whereas someone else isn’t. Do not engage this person.

Tonight: How about some fun?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Being centered at home might be a higher priority than it normally would be, as much pressure seems to emanate from others’ demands. You will make an effort to be responsive, but you are only human. Stay somewhat unavailable, and screen your calls. Tonight: Stay anchored.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married for 15 years. My husband and I still live under the same roof (for convenience), but we have drifted our separate ways. The problem is, our teenage son cannot stand to be in the same room with his father. All they do is argue, and my husband pouts like a baby, bottom lip and all.

I have asked our son to try to ignore Dad in order to keep the peace, but it is getting worse. This man, who wanted to have a child, has spent little time with our son over the years. When I was working and he had to watch our son, he would have his parents come over, and then he and his father would leave, letting my mother-in-law babysit. On weekends, he managed never to be home.

Now that our son is older, my husband thinks he has a personal slave to do all the yard work and dishes and put his stuff away when he comes home. Also, he and Grandpa have no qualms about pointing out what this kid does wrong, badgering him about it and never mentioning the things he does well.

I have had it. I don’t want my son to grow up to be like his father. Should I stay here, or should I take my son and leave? -- Fed Up in Pennsylvania Dear Fed Up: There is a lot going on here. You and your husband obviously no longer connect, and your son may be acting out his frustrations with the situation.

Dad has no idea how to communicate with his son. Neither you nor your son is happy with Dad. If the marriage is dead, please stop hanging around the corpse.

Your son will benefit from an emotionally stable home. Speak with a lawyer before deciding which of you should move out.

All of you would benefit from counseling, and we hope you will consider it.

Dear Annie: Not every letter is about a problem. I am the luckiest guy in the world. I am 60 years old. My wife is a little younger. We will celebrate 35 years of marriage this month, complete with two children and all the trials and tribulations of every couple. We are almost empty nesters. By my wife’s own admission, menopause was easy. She is an excellent cook. We eat good food and get exercise, and both of us are in decent shape. Dates are fun, and she is a great travel partner.

Here is the point of my letter: My wife is everything a man could want, including beautiful, sexy and passionate. I can barely keep up with her passion. I have not done anything to deserve this. My character defects far exceed hers. Why my wife seems so perfect is beyond me, but I am not complaining. Rather, I am amazingly thankful. This may not be Iowa, but it does feel like heaven. -- A Lucky and Appreciative Married Man Dear Lucky: Thank you so much for writing and letting our readers see that some marriages are wonderful, and that partners can recognize and appreciate what they have. Please show this to your wife and tell her you wrote it. (And any other reader who wants to give that impression can do so, as well.)

Dear Annie: “Sensitive in the Midwest” deplored the table manners she witnessed. Here’s my advice: Most executives and CEOs of successful companies do not ignore etiquette. They are unlikely to hire anyone who cannot show decent manners, including those who use vulgar language.

If one wishes to continue through life in a low-paying job with no chance of advancement, by all means, thumb your nose at etiquette. Otherwise, parents (and individuals with aspirations) should give some thought to their appearance and presentation and insist on etiquette and its use. It shows respect for yourself and others. -- Burwell, Neb. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital City can top this.

of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

Favourite apples and favourite sweaters Hello Wendy: I saw your column in the Townsman last week at my friend’s house and I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me about my mom. I was unsure whether to email you but something kept telling me to. She went to heaven this year and I was wondering how she is doing.

Can you tell me if she is happy about the way I handled her affairs with her estate? She wasn’t explicit when it came to details about her possessions. I feel so different since mom has left us and I don’t know why it’s hard to explain.

Grateful and Sad Dear Grateful and Sad: Yes, I understand how you feel because my mom passed away this year as well. Sad and lonely is how I feel at times but like you mostly sad now. However, they say time heals all and it feels like a little piece of yourself has been taken away doesn’t it? People just don’t understand that feeling until someone they love passes over.

It definitely changes you as a person, I would say.

I talk to my mom everyday and I am grateful that I can do that and see how she is progressing. She is always coming down and when I am doing something that I should not be doing I hear her voice. Now, some would say, ‘Oh that’s normal — you are programmed from when your mom was here’. However, the times she pops down and the messages I receive is quite out of the ordi-

nary. For example: I was shop- She will have enough energy if ping for groceries the other day you wish to have a reading to and I saw the Macintosh apples talk to her in about three and I said, “Oh Mom, your fa- months from now. She is still vourite apples.” Poof! There she quite weak energy wise from was and she said, “I miss eating her illness on this plane.

When a person passes over my apples, and by the way you better start wearing a sweater to the other side please realize that they do not when you go have emotions; outside with what’s done is your arthritis.”

So what I’m ASK WENDY done and what is the truth is getting at is toWendy the truth. We as tally an unrelathumans have ed topic with Evano such a hard the sweater time with the when I was remembering about how she truth. We don’t want to face the way life is; we run and hide and loved the mac apples.

I am telling you this because hope it goes away. The result is I feel you are not completely confusion and loss of self. This sure that there is an afterlife saying, “The truth is hard to and I want to assure you that take” should be put out to pasthere is. I still miss phoning ture. We are programmed to and talking to my mom every- fear the truth and run away day and I just want to hear her from it. How sad is that. The voice; but that is only because I truth will set you free and make am human that I am feeling you a better, stronger person, in control of your life. When I this way.

Now, to your mom and how tell people the truth because she is doing on the other side. I they don’t want to help themsaw her transference over to selves they call me blunt or the other side and she was a mean. The truth is clear and little disorientated at first and concise and loving. I just don’t then she saw her family lined get it when people get mad and up at the entrance and she lash out because you are being walked towards them. She had kind to them by telling them a calm transference and she the truth. However, when you knew in that second where she find out someone lies to you was. Her sister was the person then humans get mad at that as she focused on and walked to- well. The truth is when you wards. She is now resting and know what you need to do and her sister is watching over her you don’t want to do it to beand taking care of her. I also see come emotionally better then some animals around her; that you run away and get mad. is making her so very happy. How childish is that? In heaven She just needs time to rest for the truth is the truth without now and build up her energy. emotion and that’s just fine

with everyone because they are all on the same page, so to speak. There’s no identity issues, fighting, arguing, or confusion, there is just this blissful state of living in the truth and acknowledging and accepting what is and what the individual wants to do about it when they come back down to this learning school called Earth.

The reason why I am giving you this spiel is because my guide has told me that you are a confused person when it comes to facing reality. So, I hope this has helped you somewhat and given you an idea of how they act and react to themselves and each other in heaven.

Your mom thinks that you did a fine job when it came to handling her estate. She does not care about any of her possessions anymore. She knows that you also have a lot of her personal possessions that you still need to give away to the family and she said, “Dear, just listen to your heart and when you hold one of my priceless ornaments or crystal just close your eyes and think of who you want to give this to and I will be there to guide you.”

I hope this message helps you from your mom because you are quite nervous in not doing the right thing.

Try and follow this advice your mom has given you and you will see that her possessions will go to exactly the right person that is meant to have them. God bless and stay focused.

Wendy

We match identical items (defined as same brand, size, and attributes) and in the case of fresh produce, meat, seafood and bakery, we match a comparable item (as determined solely by us). We will not match competitors’ “multi-buys” (eg. 2 for $4), “spend x get x”, “Free”, “clearance”, discounts obtained through loyalty programs, or offers related to our third party operations (post office, gas bars, dry cleaners etc.).

We reserve the right to cancel or change the terms of this program at any time.
