Food Bank hoping for a duck sell-out

Annual duck race is July 1st; got your ticket yet?

C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

PHOTO SUBMITTED

June 20th will see the first annual Track and Field Day at KIS. Students have been working hard as they have been passing batons, jumping hurdles and launching into the long jump sand pit, in preparation for their big day.

The prizes are terrific, the atmosphere is fun and the cause is a good one.

The annual Royal LePage East Kootenay Realty Food Bank Duck Race is coming up Tuesday, July 1. Have you got your ticket yet?

Realtor Marilyn Jolie, who puts up the first prize money of $2500 cash, says the goal this year is to sell 4,000 tickets in order to raise over $20,000.

“This is the tenth year of running the ducks in Mark Creek,” Jolie said. “It is an exciting time for the community as it is both a great event for Kimberley and it is a means of raising money for the Food Bank. This unfortunately is an ongoing struggle for the Board of the Food Bank and Kimberley is so supportive of

their needs.

“Last year we raised $17,000 for the Food Bank and this year our goal is $20,000. If we sell out the 4,000 tickets and with proceeds from the barbecue, we should exceed our goals.”

The barbecue is part of the fun of race day. It is held in the Civic Centre parking lot, right beside Mark Creek and the race finish line.

Not only is it fun, it garners great support from local business, with Mark Creek Market donating all pop, hot dogs and buns, and Kimberley Sausage and Meats donating pork for the famous pulled pork sandwiches. Ray’s Music provides the sound system so MC Don McCormick can keep all apprised of the ducks’ progress. A team of realtors led by Audrey Welk serves the food and Rotary donates the use of their food trailer. The City provides services such as the use of a loader to dump the ducks.

Conservation officers put down two cougars in Cranbrook Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Over the weekend, conservation officers destroyed two cougars that had been killing cats on the Slaterville side of Cranbrook.

On Friday Karen King found two dead cats outside her home on Briar Avenue.

She called the conservation officers (COs) who came to look at the cat carcasses.

“We confirmed that, yes, cougars were involved with killing domestic cats,” said Jared Connatty, one of the COs who responded to the call, said. “During that investigation we found that two cougars had been hanging around for a few weeks before we were notified of that.”

The domestic cat killings were close to town, and the COs took the situation very seriously. They deployed tracking hounds at the last known location of the cougar and the scent lead to

two juvenile cougar, both around 10 months old.

“No mother was present in the area — we didn’t pick up any other scent leaving that site,” Connatty said.

“There’s a high likelihood there’s no female around.”

He said cougar kittens don’t usually leave the mother until between 16 and 18 months of age. These kittens were too young to be away from the mother. He noted that could have be the reason the cougars are taking part in such odd behaviour.

“If the female is still around it’s concerning, because this is what she’d been teaching them. So maybe there’s something wrong there as well,” he said. “But we haven’t received any reports of a female or lone cougar wandering around that area.”

Selkirk Secondary School students paint the town for fish For the Bulletin

(Kimberley) – Several students, supportive family members and Ms. Difilippo, teacher at Selkirk Secondary School dedicated Saturday, May 24 to keeping their local watershed healthy.

By painting a fish silhouette near storm drains downtown in the Platzl and near the school, the community is reminded that the storm water goes untreated, directly into Mark Creek. Recovering Westslope cutthroat trout and other aquatic life require clean water to be healthy.

“These Grade 8 eco-stewards from Selkirk Secondary School took what they learned through Columbia Basin Trust’s Know Your Watershed education program and put it into student action to help protect water quality for fish in Mark Creek,” said educator Patty Kolesnichenko.

“The community was so supportive of their efforts including Burrito Grill and Snow Drift Cafe who provided discounted food, Home Hardware discounted equipment and paint, and the City of Kimberley loaned high visible vests and brooms to students and made them the fish stencils.”

During the day students talked to community members while they painted and reminded people that the water that runs off their properties, driveways and streets goes into Mark Creek and to dispose of oils, paints and chemicals at the appropriate places, not down the storm drain.

The positive community feedback really encouraged students and they want to do it again next year commented Kolesnichenko.

The student action project was part of Know Your Watershed, a water stewardship program developed by Columbia Basin Trust and local environmental educators, a program managed and delivered by Wildsight. To learn more, visit www. cbt.org/waterstewardship.

Cougars put down

From Page A4 Connatty said there’s a misconception that a cougar kills for fun.

“If you have multiple animals, and a cougar is targeting one of them in a situation where those animals can’t escape, a cougar has switch that goes off in it’s mind,” he said. “Once the cougar takes out the first animal, it can’t just turn that switch off, since things are still moving. It is naturally driven to stop things from moving when it is in that hunt mode.

“I think this happened over an entire evening and they capitalized on opportunities that domestic cats were in the area and killed those cats,” he said.

“Cougar do have that fight or flight switch and if they are engaged in pursuing prey, they are generally successful in doing that. They are really effective killers. “ Connatty said that they found in the inves-

tigation that some residents in the area may have been aware of these cougars and either didn’t report it, or reported it to the wrong authority. The place to call to report a sighting of cougars or other wild animals is 1-877-9527277 (RAPP).

“Just because you call that number doesn’t mean we’re going to respond with action in every incident that’s reported,” he said. “It’s good for us to have a history of those complaints; it helps us with our decision making.”

The young war criminal speaks

W

hatever else you may say about the “young war criminal” (as British journalist Alan Watkins used to call former prime minister Tony Blair), he certainly fights his corner with great determination. He is condemned to spend his life defending his part in the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and last weekend he was at it again.

In a 3,000-word essay on his website, Tony Blair wrote about last week’s conquest of almost half Iraq’s territory by the fanatical fighters of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria): “We have to liberate ourselves from the notion that ‘we’ have caused this. We haven’t.” What he really meant by “we”, of course, was “I”. And he would say that, wouldn’t he?

But at least give Blair credit for producing an interesting argument. “As for how these (recent) events reflect on the original decision to remove Saddam,” he wrote, “... (the argument) is that but for the invasion of 2003, Iraq would be a stable country today....”

“Consider the post 2011 Arab uprisings.

Put into the equation the counterfactual – that Saddam and his two sons would be running Iraq in 2011 when the uprisings began. Is it seriously being said that the revolution sweeping the Arab world would have hit Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria ... but miraculously Iraq, under the most brutal and tyrannical of all the regimes, would have been an oasis of calm?”

“So it is a bizarre reading of the cauldron that is the Middle East today, to claim that but for the removal of Saddam, we would not have a crisis.”

Blair is employing one of his favourite techniques: winning an argument with a straw man. Nobody is actually saying that

if the United States, Britain and some hangers-on had not illegally invaded Iraq in 2003, the country would be an “oasis of calm” today. Of course the “Arab Spring” would have come to Iraq too, and of course there would be huge turmoil in the country today.

If Saddam Hussein had managed to hang on to power in the face of a democratic uprising in 2011 that was initially non-violent, Iraq today might be in a civil war Gwynne somewhat like that in Syria.

And if his dictatorship had Dyer been overthrown in 2011, whatever new government emerged in Iraq would certainly be contending with acute ethnic and sectarian rivalries today.

But the living standards, infrastructure, and health and educational services of a quite developed country would not have been massively degraded by a decade of invasion, foreign occupation and popular resistance. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who were killed in these events would still be alive (although Saddam’s secret police would have murdered the usual thousand or so each year). And above all there would be no ISIS, nor anything like it.

There were no terrorists in Iraq in 2003.

There were people with radical Islamist ideas, but they kept quiet for fear of Saddam’s torturers and there weren’t very many of them. And there were no “weapons of mass destruction” either. It was an exceptionally dumb war, to borrow Barack Obama’s famous phrase, and it began the destruction of Iraq.

It is the deep sectarian divisions in Iraq’s Arabic-speaking population (the Kurds are a separate issue) that are now completing that process of destruction.

However, as with the distinctions between Catholics, Orthodox Christians and Mus-

lims in old Yugoslavia before the break-up and the Balkan wars of the 1990s, most Sunnis and Shias in Iraq before 2003 lived side by side with a fairly low degree of friction.

It was the fight against foreign occupation after 2003 that radicalised people in Iraq and drove so many of them back into narrow sectarian identities. “Al-Qaeda in Iraq”, the original name for what now calls itself ISIS, was born in that struggle, and Tony Blair and George W. Bush were its midwives.

It’s striking that Al-Qaeda in Iraq’s main target during the occupation was to kill large numbers of Shias rather than lots of Americans. Its strategy was to provoke a sectarian war in which Iraqi Sunnis would be losing at first — but then their plight would trigger intervention by Sunni states in the region and lead to a general Sunni-Shia war. It was a convoluted, nasty and deeply unrealistic strategy, but it made sense in terms of their radical Islamist ideology.

If there had been no invasion, and Saddam Hussein had been overthrown by a popular revolution only three years ago, there would certainly be great tension in a newly democratic Iraq now. Sunni Arabs would be having trouble coming to terms with their minority status (which most were unaware of under Saddam). Shias would be tempted to exploit their majority status unfairly. Kurds would be pushing for more autonomy.

But they would be doing so in an atmosphere that had not been contaminated by a decade of sectarian hatred and savagery.

There would be no organisations like ISIS dedicated to waging a sectarian war. And even if Saddam Hussein had not been overthrown and Iraq was caught up in a civil war like Syria’s, it would have a far less sectarian character. As would Syria’s, for that matter.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Cranbrook Alliance Church for hosting the Memorial Service for RCMP members and the community.

Auditor review

You will rarely see me writing a letter to the editor; however I am feeling compelled as a tax payer to do so and only because I care so much about Kimberley.

Being that this is an election year, it is important that we understand the facts about the expenditures that our city is dealing with now and will be incurring in the future.

It is public knowledge that our taxes are going up and will continue to go up at least four per cent annually, as per the city plan.

It is evident that the flume costs are well over budget and only one third complete. Doing some research I have found out that the original budget was $4.25 million and the new budget is $6.8 million. The city costs to date are $3.4 million and the future cost to the city is another $1.4 million and the grants are $2 million.

Cost to the city — $4.8 million.

I expect the Council to be very “transparent” with the facts and costs. I am in support of an Auditor General reviewing the flume budget, not for pointing fingers, but to get the facts and figures on what Council and operations can do to be more cost effective.

I will be and am encouraging all city tax payers to put pressure on Council to have the Auditor General review the project expenses.

This is only one of many expenditures that we are needing to pay for. How about all the other unknowns, like the infrastructure costs present and future? It appears that our city, as great as it is, will not be the “good place to be” if our costs are going up and taxes are increasing annually at a rapid rate.

It is time we start paying attention to our City finances, and put pressure on Council to be open and honest about the reality of our City’s financial state.

The gravy Cominco days are over, we can’t keep spending like we have a corporate tax giant. Especially when our largest employer is a civil service.

There is no way we can run our private households and businesses over budget and expect to maintain a quality life. I appreciate all the countless hours that Mayor and Council put into our city, however being financially accountable to the electorate is critical to the future of our city.

Meat Draw

I was surprised and sad to learn of the demise of the Meat Draw on Thursdays at the Elks. The people involved in this group are dedicated to helping others. Our home burnt to the ground in February. We lost everything. We felt devastated, alone and helpless. On top of which, we were now homeless.

Saying that I was overwhelmed by our loss would be putting it mildly. I have M.S. and my husband has a kidney disease. We had more than enough on our plates before the fire.

We have insurance, but anyone who has ever had a major loss knows that insurance claims like this are a difficult process.

This group of people came forward unasked and helped us.

The money they gave us was a tremendous help. It wasn’t just the money — they gave me hope. They made me feel like, “Yes, I can do this.” These people helped us when we needed a hand up and not a hand out. I was able to keep my dignity while receiving the help I needed.

It is a real shame that bureaucracy had to get in the way of good people doing good things for others. We need more people like the Thursday Meat Draw group in our lives and less bureaucratic nonsense.

I hope there is a way for them to continue their meat draws.

Finding a home

Over the past six years a group of community volunteers have been working to build a homeless shelter here in Cranbrook to service the entire East Kootenay.

There are no shelter beds between Lethbridge, Alberta, and Nelson, B.C. Cranbrook is the centre for people of all needs in our region. It also meets the needs of many homeless who require a wide range of services, temporary shelter, food, clothing, social income, health care — both physical and mental, and things as simple as a bus to get around in winter. They come to our city broken; broken homes, broken marriages, broken childhoods and in some cases addictions that have robbed a lifetime of potential.

Early in this initiative we sat down with our MLA Bill Bennett and at that time asked his help in securing annual funding for the Salvation Army and the Kootenay Christian Fellowship to operate cold weather shelters. His pledge at that meeting was that if we could not find government funding that he would roll up his sleeves with us and we would phone everyone in town until we had raised the $70,000 required to run the shelters that winter.

Bill has been on board since then. We have learned to keep our focus and to adapt to new funding realities. On May 23, Bill toured the Willowbridge housing complex in Kelowna with members of our local Salvation Army. Willowbridge operates a 40-suite supported living building which will work very well to meet the needs of the homeless in the East Kootenay. It will require 35 per cent of the funds to build and 30 per cent of the funds to operate that our first proposal required.

The homeless coalition will continue to work with all community partners to realize a permanent year-round shelter in Cranbrook. Thank you to all who have given and continue to donate in support of this initiative. Thank you to all in our region who believe in the need for this shelter and to Bill for taking that need to the Legislature in Victoria. We will keep working at this.

Disputes

Mr. Matheson’s dislike of unions and union members that he exhibited in his last two letters to this newspaper has prompted me to write.

Strikes or lockouts are often ugly and emotional occurrences.

It doesn’t matter which business or union is battling it out, one of them will inevitably be labelled greedy.

After 32 years of coal mining, I can tell you that not once did my employer voluntarily give me a raise. For one reason or another, it was never the right time. But we always worked it out.

If I read it right, his attitude seems to be that if he can’t have a pension then nobody else should get one. This should be labelled as “a race to the bottom.”

Pension envy, Mr. Matheson?

Bruce Zimich Cranbrook

Ruthlessness

I do not want to live in the society that Neil Matheson argues for in his letter comparing the Public vs the Private sector. He highlights the private sectors abandonment of employee pensions, and notes that “wages and benefits, particularly benefits, have been badly eroded.”

He suggests we need our government to have “the courage to be as ruthless as the private sector.” To eliminate what he perceives as a class distinction between the public and private sectors. He mocks public sector unions support of the “fundamental principle of creating a more equable society.” Apparently Mr. Matheson feels that because some people in our society don’t receive decent wages or pensions then no one should. I would suggest the opposite, that everyone deserves a decent wage and security in their retirement.

My father worked for a large company that has made record profits for years but is continually trying to claw back on wages, benefits, work-life balance and pension. Corporate greed is not an admirable trait and we do not need our government to further emulate that model. We need a government with the courage to represent the citizens of this province with integrity. To be ruthless in the protection of citizens rights and generous in providing the tools society needs so that we can all be a part of the privileged class.

Chile reception: Spain eliminated from World Cup GR AHAM DUNBAR Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Defending champion Spain, the dominant global football power for the past six years, was eliminated from World Cup contention Wednesday with a 2-0 loss to Chile.

Spain’s famed passing game failed against a high-tempo, tenacious Chile team, its era ending in the storied Maracana Stadium filled mostly with Chilean supporters.

Eduardo Vargas tricked goalkeeper Iker Casillas into diving the wrong way, then shot into an unguarded goal in the 20th minute.

Charles Aranguiz scored in the 43rd when the ball landed at his feet after Casillas punched out a free kick.

Spain’s second loss, after a 5-1 rout by the Netherlands, ended any hope of advancing.

Chile and the Netherlands will both advance, regardless of who wins the game between them.

Spain won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012, in addition to the 2010 World Cup. Spain came to Brazil with a very similar - but older - team than the one that won those titles. They added Brazilian-born striker Diego Costa, but he failed to score a goal.

Their “tiki-taka” style of play - keeping the ball for long stretches with short passes, and only shooting when you had a clear opening - had not been working as well in recent years. Brazil defeated Spain 3-0 in last summer’s Confederations Cup, a warmup for the World Cup.

Spectator sports for Sam Steele Days TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Sam Steele Days is coming up and there will be all kinds of spectator events—including sports—happening throughout the community over the next three days.

There are both boys and girls teams from ages 13-18, and the Sunrise Rotary Rotary Club will be running the concession at the clubhouse.

Strongman Competition June 21 Since being introduced over 10 years ago, the Strongman Competition has become a fan favourite, drawing huge crowds along 10th Ave. by Rotary Park as athletes

demonstrate amazing feats of strength.

The event runs from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Disc Golf Tournament June 21 The College of the Rockies is hosting the Sam Steele disc golf tournament, with teeoff set for 5:30 p.m.

Bandits hosting a pair of double-headers Two U.S. teams making the trip to Confederation Park TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

With two tough games against the Kootenai Valley Rangers, the Bandits have come home to regroup before hosting a pair of doubleheaders this weekend.

The Cranbrook boys made it a close one in Eureka against the Rangers to start, but lost 3-1, and gave up the lead to an 11-9 decision in favour of their opponents during the rematch.

Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek said his team got down early in the opening match, and couldn’t make up the deficit. Despite that, there were some bright spots, he added. “[Tyler] Thorn pitched great,” said Mrazek. “He threw 71 pitches in six innings, which is a really low pitch count, and 79 per cent of his pitches were around the knees, so he’s keeping the ball down and he gave our team a chance to win, but the guys didn’t hit the ball.

“We didn’t generate any runs and on top of that, a couple errors added to making it diffi-

cult.”

The Bandits had a short break before heading back out onto the field for the rematch. It was a much better beginning, as the team went up 7-2 after two innings, but the lead didn’t last.

“We turned it around, came out and the first inning of Game Two we scored five, had four hits in the first inning. Then we got a couple more the next inning, but then we went to sleep,” said Mrazek.

“We let Eureka slowly creep back in. Next thing you know, it’s 8-2, 8-4, and 8-6. Next thing you know, we’ve lost 11-9.”

Again, it was a combination of playing well in some areas, but coming up short in others, Mrazek added.

“Devon [Marra] pitched well, he pitched well enough to win again, and the bats went flat after the second inning,” he said.

“We had a total of eight hits—four of those were in the first inning, so that means for the next six they didn’t do much.”

Though the pitching

was good, the bats weren’t making hits and some fielding errors proved costly.

“We got to have the full package. We can’t go out and pitch well and not hit the ball and expect to win,” Mrazek added.

“We got to pitch well, we got to field well and we got to hit well. You got to have all three things. If you do that and you make a couple errors, you’re still probably going to win.”

The two losses served as a lesson on confidence after stringing together four wins in a row a few weeks ago.

“You can’t go 4-0 one weekend and then show up the next weekend thinking you’re going to win,” Mrazek said.

“I think they get that now, and we’ll see what happens this weekend.”

The Bandits will face the Whitefish Glacier ‘B’ team on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Confederation Park, which they’ve beaten in all three meetings.

On Sunday, the Bandits host the Bitterroot Bucs—a new team they have yet to meet.

Rowing club competes in Vernon For the Townsman

It was a cool and blustery day in Vernon on Saturday, June 14, when the Vernon Rowing Regatta commenced. Among 30 crews from centres as far apart as Vancouver to the Cariboo and the East Kootenay were two crews representing Cranbrook’s Rockies Rowing Club.

Four young ladies, members of the Rockies Rowing Club, learned to row and train on Jimsmith Lake this year in double scull racing boats owned by the club. They worked hard to gain their skills under dedicated organization and coaching by Roberta Rodgers.

They were out on the water at 6:30 or 7 a.m. most mornings and many evenings and eventually met with good success at Vernon as well as gaining invaluable experience.

The girls raced in double sculls over a distance of 3,500 metres and finished ahead of a number of entries.

This race was a major test of endurance for everyone with difficult wind conditions. The second race was a 500 metres sprint and our girls were in a four seat sculling boat called a quad. This was a difficult race for them, being in a different sort of boat and no time to become familiar with it.

Plans for the future include racing at the BC Summer Games in Nanaimo, July 17 to 20, as well as other regattas in the area.

On the second day of the regatta there were technical training sessions including one-onone coaching which provided important experience. The whole exercise was orchestrated by the principal coach, Roberta Rodgers.

The Rockies Rowing club is supported by a small but dedicated group of local enthusiasts led

by Rodgers. It have three doubles and two singles with the capability of providing adaptive rowing for handicapped oarsmen. Rowing is an exciting sport and an excellent way to use all the muscles in your body at a rate that suits each individual.

The program includes learn to row classes lasting approximately six hours on the water and then novices as well as experienced rowers can row together or singly for recreation or upgrading to racing standards.

All interested people are welcome to come and see the boats and talk about the sport by contacting Roberta at 250 489 0174 or Brian Passey at 250 489 2220 (numscull@shaw.ca). Lessons can also be arranged at that time.

Blue Jays suffer 7-3 defeat at Yankee Stadium Rick Freeman Associated Press

NEW YORK - To lose 15 games in a row in one ballpark takes a lot of lousy luck.

The Toronto Blue Jays know all about that after dropping their 15th straight at Yankee Stadium with a 7-3 defeat Wednesday night.

For the second night in a row, a short home run to right field proved their undoing.

Brian McCann hit a go-ahead, two-run homer and later added a bases-loaded triple for New York. The night before, Brett Gardner hit one off the foul pole in right, just above the sign indicating the fence is 314 feet from home plate.

“I gave up a flyball to right field that’s a two-run homer and we lose the game,“ starter Mark Buehrle said. ”Same thing as yester-

day - a little 318-foot flyball that ends up going out. It’s frustrating when you come out and battle, tonight and last night, and pretty much it’s two losses on that short porch in right field.“ The Yankees beat Buehrle for the ninth straight time and took the first two in a threegame series.

Buehrle (10-4) was trying to tie Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka

for the most wins in the majors. The left-hander gave up three runs and six hits in six innings and lost his third straight start overall.

Buehrle is 1-11 lifetime against the Yankees, with his lone win coming in 2004 with the Chicago White Sox. McCann tied his career high with five RBIs. Toronto’s Jose Bautista had an RBI double in the eighth for his 1,000th career hit.

The Justice Centre for Academic Freedoms said Wednesday that the board of governors allowed the appeal, quashed the charges of non-academic freedom and removed them from the students’ files.

CALGARY — Some students who oppose abortion have won a battle against the University of Calgary four years after being sanctioned for their refusal to remove a poster display from campus.

Seven students tried to appeal being found guilty of non-academic misconduct in 2010, but the board of governors refused to hold a hearing.

In April, a judge ordered the board to hear the appeal, saying the university’s original de-

age and persistence, the U of C would have succeeded in reducing the free expression rights of all students.”

The group’s display, first put up in 2008, was considered too graphic and provocative.

Called the Genocide Awareness Project, it compared abortion to past historical atrocities, such as the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust. The university demanded the group turn its display inward so passing students wouldn’t have to look at it.

WASHINGTON — With one death a century ago humanity learned we had the awesome power to erase an entire species in the scientific equivalent of a blink of an eye: The passenger pigeon went from billions of birds to extinct before our very eyes.

The bird was named Martha.

She was grey and brown, with red eyes. And in 1914 she died, making the passenger pigeon extinct.

Clark was in northern B.C. to mark the sale of land in downtown Kitimat to the Haisla Nation.

working on a longshot — to try to revive the passenger pigeon from DNA in stuffed birds.

The land has sat idle since a hospital on the site was demolished in 2005, though the prospect of a growing LNG industry along with other industrial projects has turned it into prime real estate.

The Haisla Nation reached an agreement with the province to purchase the land in May. The First Nation will now enter

negotiations with the District of Kitimat to discuss how the land will be developed.

Ellis Ross, chief counsellor of the Haisla Nation, says current plans include a hotel and condominium development, a restaurant and a shopping centre, which would be built in three stages with private partners.

It’s alleged the same suspect resurfaced in Ontario and hit York Region banks again before robbing an Ottawa bank in May 2011 and another one in Vaughan, just outside Toronto, that December.

Police believe the suspect did not commit another robbery until last month, when he robbed a TD Bank in Toronto on May 5.

Toronto police Det. Sgt. Mike Earl says the suspect is very athletic for someone believed to be in his late 30s or early 40s, jumping over bank counters like a hurdler.

Police say they are concerned

because the robberies are becoming more violent, with the suspect taking bank employees hostage as they open for business and forcing them inside at gunpoint and into a vault.

“He’s committing these crimes across the country and we’re trying to put an end to this reign or very long spree of robberies that this individual has been conducting,” Earl said.

Police released surveillance video from several robberies and described the suspect as white, five-foot-eight to five-foot-10 with a medium build, very fit and wearing glasses.

TORONTO — A bankers’ group has increased a reward to help catch a robber dubbed the Vaulter Bandit, who is wanted for 17 robberies at banks in numerous Canadian cities.

The Canadian Bankers Association hiked its reward to $50,000 from $20,000 on Wednesday.

Police say the robber — armed with a handgun — first struck in York Region north of Toronto back in February 2010 and robbed banks in Mississauga, Ont., and Hamilton later that year before heading to Calgary in early 2011, where he robbed four banks in 10 days.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — About 100 fans busted through a security checkpoint at the Maracana stadium less than an hour before the Spain-Chile game Wednesday, damaging the media room as they desperately ran around in an apparent attempt to get into the game.

The red-shirted Chileans, mostly young men, sprinted through the huge FIFA media

centre underneath the stands and ran toward a corridor they apparently thought would lead to the grandstands.

But once inside that corridor, they realized it didn’t lead to the stands. They broke down a temporary wall, sending metal lockers crashing to the ground, according to AP journalists.

“I was the lone guy standing out there (near entry to press centre),” security guard Diego Gon-

calves said. “All of a sudden they knocked down the fence and just pushed their way through.”

One guard grabbed a Chilean by the neck and dragged him away.

Security guards eventually surrounded the group, made them sit on the ground and led them away in a line with each Chilean holding onto the shoulders of another in front of him.

Montana says oil-train shipment details not security sensitive ASSOCIATED PRESS

BILLINGS, Mon. — Montana officials said Wednesday they intend to release details next week on the frequency of oil trains passing through the state, despite efforts by railroads to keep the information from the public after a string of fiery accidents raised safety concerns.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx last month ordered railroads to provide specifics on oil-train routes, crude volumes and other information to state emergency officials. The order was meant to guard against further accidents.

Railroads across the country have sought to restrict further disclosure by the states, arguing that the order covered confidential information that could be misused if it were made public.

But Andrew Huff, chief legal counsel for Gov. Steve Bullock, said federal transportation officials confirmed that the information was not considered security sensitive under federal regulations. Huff said its release was mandated under state law, and it would help protect public safety by raising com-

we have to release it.”

into the case.

Rajan Singh Mann was convicted for his role in a 2006 kidnapping in the Vancouver area, in part due to evidence the RCMP retrieved from two BlackBerrys after his arrest.

Mann's lawyers argued the RCMP should have obtained a warrant before searching the phones, because such devices can hold vast amounts of highly per-

sonal information.

The B.C. Appeal Court says a series of judgments in recent years have made it clear smartphones cannot be searched without a warrant, which means the search violated Mann's charter rights.

However, the court says those rulings weren't in place when police conducted the searches in 2008, so the evidence is admissible.

Breyer has admitted he was an Auschwitz guard during World War II but has said he was stationed outside and had nothing to do with the slaughter of about 1.5 million Jews and

others there.

The German investigation follows years of failed U.S. efforts to have Breyer stripped of his American citizenship and deported.

IRS to waive penalties for some Americans abroad ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is offering to waive steep penalties for Americans living abroad who haven’t been paying their U.S. taxes.

But there is a catch: You have to be able to show that you didn’t evade U.S. taxes on purpose.

American citizens living abroad are required to file U.S. tax returns, even if they keep all their money overseas. Similarly, U.S. citizens living in the United States are required to tell the IRS about any accounts they have in foreign banks.

The penalties for not reporting these accounts are stiff. If there is more than $10,000 in an unreported account, the IRS can impose penalties of $100,000 — more if the accounts are really big.

HAVANA, Cuba — The trial of a Canadian businessman detained nearly three years ago in Cuba as part of a high-profile crackdown on corruption is drawing to a close, an associate said Wednesday.

Court proceedings for Cy Tokmakjian, president of the Ontario-based automotive company Tokmakjian Group, are scheduled to end Friday, company vice-president Lee Hacker said by phone from Canada.

He said he did not want to make any further comment for now: ``It’s a very sensitive issue.’’

Cuban officials and state media have not mentioned the trial publicly. A press officer at Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that consular officials were monitoring the case of ``the Canadian citizen who is detained in Cuba,’’ but declined to give more details citing privacy concerns.

The trial comes four months after another Canadian businessman, Sarkis Yacoubian of Tri-Star Caribbean, was abruptly released and returned to his country after serving just 2 1/2 years of a nine-year prison sentence in Cuba.

Luxembourg approves same sex marriage, adoption ASSOCIATED PRESS

LUXEMBOURG — Lawmakers in Luxembourg, whose prime minister is openly gay, overwhelmingly approved changes in the small European nation’s legislation governing marriage that will allow people of the same sex to wed and to adopt children.

The Chamber of Deputies voted 56-4 to adopt the bill, which is said to be part of the most fundamental rewrite of Luxembourg’s laws on marriage since 1804. Its website said the new rules could take effect in early 2015, or six months after their official publication.

The Human Rights Campaign, a U.S.-based organization in favour of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, said Wednesday’s vote makes Luxembourg the world’s 19th nation to grant ``full marriage rights’’ to all of its citizens.

Xavier Bettel, who became Luxembourg’s prime minister in December, is openly gay.

Teen who stowed away aboard Hawaii-bound flight says he wanted to find his mom ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A Somali-born teenager who survived a flight to Hawaii as a stowaway in the plane’s wheel well said he hopped on the closest flight that was going west in an effort to find his birth mom and can’t believe he survived the journey.

Yahya Abdi, 15, spoke over Google Chat to KPIX-5 in his first public comments since his improbable survival during the 5 1/2-hour flight from San Jose to Maui in April. The interview was reported on Tuesday night.

Yahya, a Somali immigrant, ran away from his California home and hopped a fence at Mineta San Jose International Airport. He crouched down in the wheel well of the Hawaiian Airlines flight and remembers covering his ears as the plane took off, he said.

“It was above the clouds, I could see through the little holes,’’ Yahya said.

Yahya Abdi is taken to hospital in Maui after a five-hour flight in a wheel well in April. and freezing temperatures.

Video footage from the Maui airport shows him dropping to the tarmac about an hour after the jet landed.

The teen said he made the decision to get on board the plane because he didn’t want to live with his stepmom and wanted to find his mother,

who he hasn’t seen since he was seven years old. She lives in Africa.

Yahya spoke to her on the phone on Tuesday.

“I would tell her to live with me in America,’’ he said.

His mom, Ubah Mohammed Abdule, confirmed the conversation to The Associat-

ed Press.

“He says, ‘Mom, you are not dead for sure?’’’ Abdule told the AP. “’I thought you died in a boat trip. This is incredible news!’ Then he became silent for a moment. Then he cried.’’

Yahya is staying at a temporary foster home. He will be a junior in high school this fall and plans to live with his aunt in the Minneapolis area, KPIX5 reported.

Yahya has been spending his days doing normal teenage things. “I’ve been going to the movie theatre and playing video games,’’ he said.

Earlier this year, police said they were investigating possible criminal charges against the boy for climbing the airport fence, and that the teen was being cared for by child protective services.

The Santa Clara County Office of the Public Defender confirms it has been appointed to “advise and assist’’ the boy but could not explain in what capacity due to juvenile privacy rules.

Antagonists agree to ban plastic ‘microbeads’ pouring into Great Lakes John Flesher Associated Press

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Environmentalists in Illinois expected a battle royal over their call for a statewide ban on “microbeads’’ — tiny bits of plastic used in personal care products such as facial scrubs and toothpaste that are flowing by the billions into the Great Lakes and other waterways. Discovered only recently, scientists say they’re showing up inside fish that are caught for human consumption.

But instead of resisting, leading companies quickly collaborated on a ban that was enacted by the state legislature this spring. And with similar measures now pending in at least three other large states, the extinction of microbeads is taking shape as one of the unlikeliest events in the politics of nature: a low-stress compromise by interest groups that are often at each other’s throats.

“To have that happen in one year is rare,’’ said Jen Walling of the Illinois Environmental Council, recalling the pessimistic response when she initially sought legislative sponsors. “I was not predicting we’d get it done at all.’’

Don’t get used to it, said Mark Biel of the Chemical Industry Council of Illinois, which represented the prod-

The quick deal resulted from unique circumstances, he said, including the availability of substitute ingredients.

“I just concluded that maybe this was one of those issues where it would be smart to try to work something out,’’ he said.

Microplastics in the Great Lakes were discovered only when scientists dragged the surface of all five lakes in 2012 and 2013 with specially de-

signed nets and found the specks everywhere.

Barely visible without a microscope, the bits flow through wastewater treatment plant screens and into the lakes.

Sherri Mason, an environmental scientist with State University of New York-Fredonia who was a leader of the research team, said the beads are showing up in the stomachs of Great Lakes perch and in fish-eating birds like the double-crested cormorant.

Her group is studying

whether the particles are absorbing toxins in the lakes.

Because treated wastewater flows into so many waterways, Mason said, “Every river and every inland lake you look at is going to have some plastic in it.’’

The plastic exfoliants apparently came into widespread use in the 1990s, preferred because they are smoother to the skin than natural ingredients.

Laurent Gilbert, director of advanced research at L’Oreal, said they have “no proven environmental toxicity.’’

Still, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Colgate, Unilever and L’Oreal are among the companies announcing plans to replace microbeads with natural substances such as ground-up fruit pits, oatmeal and sea salt.

The companies say that it can take years to develop new mixtures and get them to market.

But with microbeads apparently on their way out, ban supporters say the lesson is that public pressure can pay off.

“People say, ‘Wait, there’s plastic in my face wash? In my toothpaste?’’’ said Mason.

“They understand innately that this isn’t right and ... industry definitely responds.

When we put our minds to something we can make it happen.’’

A job for life? The notion is not as outdated as people think, report finds Julian Beltr ame Canadian Press

OTTAWA — A job for life? It sounds like an outdated notion, but a new report suggests that workers staying with the same employer for most of their career is as prevalent today as it ever was.

The study, by CIBC economists looking at the changing labour market, concluded one aspect hasn’t changed much over the past three decades. It found that most Canadians tend to stay at their place of work, if not for life, at least for a long time.

Using Statistics Canada data dating to 1986, economists Ben Benjamin Tal and Nick Exarhos calculate the probability of keeping a job — referred to as the retention rate — once an a employee has been with one company for five years or more is now at 95 per cent.

About 50 per cent of Canadians in the workforce have been with one employer longer than five years, a record high, and well up from 42 per cent in the early 1990s.

In fact, retention rates appear to rise with each year of seniority, starting at 60 per cent for those who have been at a job for one year — also near record levels — and rising to 95 per cent after five years.

That is the opposite of what many expected in the new information economy where it was thought that workers would constantly need to retrain as jobs changed and employers outsourced more and more of their workforce.

“It was not too long ago people were talking about the new labour market, that there would be no loyalty, that the average career would have five, six, seven jobs.

But the opposite is happening, the stability of the labour market is as high as ever,’’ said Tal. The reason for the trend, however, goes be-

yond loyalty.

Tal believes “fear’’ has played a big role, particularly in the post-recession economy where the number of Canadians officially unemployed remains higher today than in 2008.

His analysis suggests that many employers are retaining workers and paying more for the privilege because they fear losing skilled and trained staff that might prove difficult to replace.

Those skilled workers are staying with one employer longer because they are being treated well, he said.

The data shows the highest wage gains in the past 20 years or so have come among skilled workers.

Among low-skilled workers, the fear is that they had better hang on to their jobs because of the large pool of unemployed.

The report arrives at that conclusion by comparing short-term unemployed workers who have been jobless for roughly three months or less against long-time unemployed, those who have been jobless for 27 weeks or more.

The most recent data shows the former is at cyclical lows, while the long-time unemployed remain at elevated levels.

“The abnormal relationship between recent vacancy rates and unemployment suggests that large swaths of those unemployed are not what employers are seeking,’’ Tal says.

In other words, there are jobs out there for skilled workers, but not enough skilled workers to fill them. On the other hand, low-skilled workers are begging for work that is not available.

Canadians may need to upgrade their skills to win well-paying and stable jobs, but once that hurdle is cleared, “a career featuring higher stability lies ahead,’’ Tal said.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I believe my husband is having an emotional affair with his employee “Tina.” All the signs are there.

My husband’s office phone accidentally dialed me while he was talking with Tina at work, and I overheard their conversation.

He called her terms of love. I started snooping and discovered that they text each other hundreds of times a month. He lets her know when I’m away from the house so she can call him directly. Tina is the first person he calls on his way to work and the last person he calls on his way home. It used to be me.

We’ve been married for 18 months, but we are not kids. We are in our 50s. I’m stunned by his behavior. When I confronted him, he said he isn’t doing anything wrong because nothing physical has happened between them. Since then, he’s become more secretive and won’t discuss it at all.

I am so saddened by this. He is giving to Tina a part of him that is meant for me, his wife. I am going to therapy, and that helps.

But I have reached the point where I no longer have the feelings of love for my husband that I used to. I’m upset with him all of the time. Tell your readers that an emotional affair is just as damaging as a physical one -- maybe more so. -- Heart of Stone Dear Heart: Some partners mistakenly believe that if there is no sex, there is no affair. But giving your emotions, your heart, your innermost thoughts to someone other than your spouse is also cheating. It creates a bond with a third party, allowing that person into your marriage. We are glad you are getting counseling, but if your husband does not understand the damage he is doing and makes no effort to change it, we worry that your marriage will not survive. (You also might point out that he is putting his career in jeopardy by becoming involved with a subordinate.)

Dear Annie: After 20 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced because he was having an affair. My now ex-in-laws have welcomed the Other Woman into their lives.

Even before we were divorced, my ex-mother-in-law was hanging out with my ex-husband and his mistress.

I feel totally betrayed by my ex’s family. I still spend time with my ex-in-laws because of my three teenage children. They keep saying that they still love me and that I am still their daughter, but would any family member, especially a mother, cozy up to the person who caused her daughter so much pain?

Am I overreacting? -- L. Dear L.: You are expecting loyalty from someone who cannot give it. As much as they may love and care about you, your inlaws love and care about their son more.

Even if they believe their son behaved terribly toward you, this Other Woman may become his wife and your children’s stepmother. If they reject her, they risk alienating him.

Your best bet is to learn to live graciously with the situation in order to make it easier for your children. If you cannot achieve this on your own, please consider counseling.

Dear Annie: “Can’t Please Mother” said Mom never was happy about any gift she received from her kids. I have a different perspective.

My sons have given me electronic devices, but never took the time to show me how to use them, so they sit in my dresser under my socks. When my grandchild was born, I received a cup with her picture. It was the best gift ever, and I said so, yet I never got another one.

I once visited a woman who had shelf after shelf of “stuff” she couldn’t use, and all she did was dust it all every week. People should listen to what others truly want.

continue to turn to DAILY NEWSPAPERS for breaking news, analysis of the day’s top events and entertaining content, according to the latest NADbank data.

“Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benefits they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”

Selenium is a metal that is showing up in the waters of our rivers & is harmful at certain concentrations.

The government and the company are dedicated to addressing the problem, while allowing industry to access new coal deposits to keep the mines operating.

$ $

2

Teck Coal has committed to spending billions over the long term on a valley-wide response to stabilize selenium levels and eventually reverse the trend. It will take huge investment in water treatment facilities and must happen in a way that does not jeopardize the viability of the industry.

3

The Ministries of Environment and Energy & Mines are working with Teck, the Ktunuxa and community stakeholders towards a plan that will stabilize selenium levels as soon as practically possible, given the hundreds of millions it will cost to build treatment plants.

These actions will preserve these good jobs & protect the environment.
