The North Star Quilters Society presented their annual show “ Fabricated “ May 26 to June 8 at Centre 64. The show was well attended and viewers had the opportunity to cast ballots for the best quilt of their choice. The rosette winner, sponsored by the Canadian Quilters Association was Maureen Price for her hand appliqued quilt “Japanese Garden”. Maureen won the rosette last year for another of her hand appliqued quilts. The quilts have been quilted on her domestic machine. North Star Quilters are selling tickets on a quilt that is displayed at Sew Creative in the Platzl and the winning ticket will be drawn September 22, 2014. The quilt will be shipped to wherever the winner resides.

Campfires now prohibited Campfire ban as of 1 p.m. today C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Crews in the Southeast Fire Centre have been kept very busy over the August long weekend, as the hot, dry conditions persist.

Storms did sweep through the area over Saturday and Sunday, bringing rain to some areas but also accompanied by lightning.

With enough to worry about with lightning caused fires, the Southeast Fire Centre will try to put a stop to human-caused fires by imposing a campfire ban. As of 1

p.m., today, Tuesday, August 5, 2014, campfires are prohibited throughout the Southeast Fire Centre.

“With the current trend of warm and dry weather in British Columbia, wildfires have displayed very aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires,” says the Fire Centre press release.

Prohibited are: • Campfires, as defined in the wildfire regulation.

• The burning of any waste, slash or other materials.

• Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area.

• The use of burning barrels of any size or description.

• The use of fireworks, sky lanterns, tiki torches or outdoor fire pits.

The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. The use of a campfire apparatus that does not meet these specifications is prohibited.

The City of Kimberley has renamed the back road between Kimberley and Marysville. It will now be known as Jim Ogilvie Way in honour of the former Mayor, who served the City as Alderman, beginning in 1965, then Mayor beginning in 1972. He served 36 years as Mayor, with one break of three years from 2005 to 2008.

Mayor Ron McRae said Council made the decision quite some time ago.

“Council decided to quietly rename Fertilizer Road Jim Ogilvie Way,” McRae said. “It’s a small thing the community can do to recognize his service.”

McRae says that the road essentially connects Kimberley and Marysville and served many Cominco operations as well.

“We thought it was appropriate.”

Jim Ogilvie was awarded the Order of BC in 2012 for his long service as Mayor, and on that occasion his career was summed up as follows: “During this period, Kimberley grew and changed, becoming a tourism and lifestyle centre. In 1986, the City took responsibility for Kimberley Ski Resort and later developed the outstanding Trickle Creek Golf Resort. The City later sold the resorts and other development properties, which led to abundant new development in the city.

“Kimberley flourished under Mr. Ogilvie’s guidance, with innovative municipal developments such as Bootleg Gap Golf Course, the Rails to Trails project and Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre. He has made

Jim Ogilvie received the Order of BC in 2012. contributions at the regional and provincial level, serving in leadership positions on the Regional District Board, the executive of the Union of B.C. Municipalities and numerous task forces, commissions, boards and committees.

“Mr. Ogilvie has been instrumental in guiding Kimberley toward eco-

nomic independence and continued prosperity, with a sought-after lifestyle, rich with recreational opportunities, beautiful scenery and a healthy, safe environment. Mr. Ogilvie has influenced the lives – in a positive way – of everyone lucky enough to call Kimberley home.”

tensive care unit (ICU) and an electrical upgrade for the entire hospital began in May, and is proceeding on schedule, Interior Health said in a statement released Friday, August 1.

“The installation of the building substructure is well underway and proceeding on schedule,” reads the statement. “All footings for the new structure are now complete and the base walls are approximately 30 per cent complete.

“The majority of underground drainage and sewer connections are also now in place. The basement floor is sched-

uled to be completed in August, and the ground floor and roof structures will be done in the fall.”

The $20 million project began in May and will continue until summer 2016.

The new ICU will add an 8,500 square foot building to East Kootenay Regional Hospital with six patient rooms. It will be located on the northeast corner of the hospital.

The addition will replace the ageing, cramped four-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the hospital. The size and design of the new ICU will provide better flow through the unit for

ThunderTurkey - more than just a cool name Mitch Tom KTS Summer Student

This summer Kimberley has an exciting new addition to its already stellar trail network. Dan Madell, volunteer director for the Kimberley Trails Society (KTS), picked up a trail project which had been long discussed, and brought it to fruition. The route was rewalked and re-flagged many times last summer and fall, and with the final line chosen, work could begin. With the assistance of Lisa Cox and Rec Sites and Trails BC, KTS was able to land a Fire Protection Crew to go in and brush/cut a corridor for the proposed trail. From there, trail contractor Starr Trail Solutions went to work, with the trail completed in an amazing five weeks.

The new trail, named “Thunder Turkey”, is a 2-way hiking and biking trail that begins near the top of Front Boulevard in the Horse Barn Valley area, and connects to Shapeshifter lo-

cated in the Kimberley Nature Park.

With south facing valley views, this flowy, berm filled route is fun for any level.

A ribbon cutting ceremony took place on July 17th to open the trail. In attendance were Kimberley Mayor Ron Mcrae and Lisa Cox along with KTS president Daz Deboer, fellow directors Kieran Hickey, Dan Madell, and the summer trail coordinator Mitch Tom. Projects such as this are not possible without help from many stakeholders.

A huge thank-you goes out to the Flathead Unit 1 Fire Protection Crew, Lisa Cox and Rec Sites and Trails B.C, the Kimberley Nature Park Society, Dan Madell for the hundreds of volunteer hours put in, and Starr Trail Solutions for making Thunder Turkey happen.

To learn more about KTS or how to get involved, find us on Facebook, or at our website www.kimberleytrails.org.

KIMBERLEY NEWS August 4th, 1955 “A Tribute to “Neighbourliness”

It has been said that the Lois Creek district of Kimberley will someday be the city’s largest and most popular residential area, and that prophecy is becoming more evident as each succeeding day of this summer comes to a close.

Two years ago the Lois Creek district was a series of identical houses situated on oversize lots on a barren rockpile. The only factor in favour of the locality was the beautiful view.

Each house is set on a higher elevation than the next, and each house has its own view unhindered by any obstruction- to the south, Kimberley, and a long pathway down to the Kootenay River to the mountains; and in the north and east, the ranges beyond the Kootenay River-all joining to make the best view of any district in Kimberley.

People moved into the houses and devoted all their spare time to their property’s improvement. Top soil came first, and with the top soil came gardens and flower beds. The larger stones found their way into rockeries and stone walls. Cement work was done, usually by the system of everyone on the block pooling their efforts and equipment so that a maximum of walks and abutments were completed in each year. Picket fences were put up, lots levelled and lawns sown.

Then came the house improvement endeavours, again neighbours pooling their efforts to tear down and build up.

Today, and in the future, Lois

Creek is an example of what can be done by hard work and a will to make a home out of a house and a piece of worthless land. The amount of work that has been done is amazing. Each evening until darkness prohibits further outside work the complete area is filled with the sound of saw and hammer. And out of the din and industry are coming modern-style big homes-ranch style, bungalow roofs, twin and multi-gables and some with just an extension of the original high peak roof.

Yes, what was once a rock pile is being transformed into one of the most beautiful localities in Kimberley, and will always be a living, growing tribute to ambitious citizens pooling their knowledge and resources to form a true definition of the word “d sport today.

“Approval Doesn’t Mean Action” The news item read as follows: “Perhaps learning from experience, city council doesn’t place too much reliance on the provincial government’s sense of urgency in approving public works projects. Council had asked government co-operation in placing a new sidewalk across Mark Creek at Mark Street to be in line with the sidewalk program going on. After waiting some months for action, alderman learned Tuesday that the proposal had been ‘approved in principal but that detailed plans would have to wait approval by the province’s bridge experts. This prompted aldermen to suggest that they put temporary wooden bridge in line with the new sidewalk to be used until final approval is obtained from Victoria.”

The date of the item was August 5,

1954, one year ago. The “temporary” bridge, now getting a bit wobbly, is still in use and there is no other sign of the new crossing than the two steel beams that have been cluttering up the side of the road since the snow was last on the ground. It would appear it’s a fairly safe bet to approve a project in principle when more than a year can go by between principle and action.

KIMBERLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY 115 Spokane St., Kimberley http://kimberley.bclibrary.ca

PUBLIC NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook, pursuant to Section 94 and 226 of the Community Charter, intends to amend “City of Cranbrook Downtown Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 3746, 2012”.

The proposed amendment will replace Schedule ‘B’ Revitalization Tax Exemption Agreement and Schedule ‘C’ Revitalization Tax Exemption Certificate of Bylaw No. 3746 with a revised Schedule B and Schedule C. The revisions to the schedule templates are intended to provided clearer language and reduce the potential for ambiguity. Specifically, the proposed wording will clearly indicate that the tax exemption applies to the municipal portion payable on the amount of the increase in assessed value of the improvements with respect to a Tax Roll year.

The reason for the tax exemption bylaw is to encourage revitalization of the downtown core in the City in consideration of the lack of residential uses within the general downtown area that discourages business growth due to a lack of customers. The tax exemption bylaw is intended to assist in achieving the City’s objectives of encouraging new investment in the revitalization area to enhance the economy, bring more residents to live in the downtown and to make the downtown more appealing to both residents and visitors.

The objectives for the program enabled by the Bylaw include: • Encourage new commercial investment in the downtown core to enhance the local economy • Encourage the development of mixed use commercial / residential to promote a more vibrant downtown by adding a residential population that supports local businesses • Encourage downtown businesses to enhance or redevelop their interiors and exterior facades adding to the beautification and visual interest in the downtown core The Revitalization Tax Exemption program applies to properties zoned C-1, Community Commercial Zone, C-2, Highway Commercial Zone and the C-5, Shopping Centre Zone, as defined in City of Cranbrook Zoning Bylaw No. 3737, 2012, as amended from time to time, within the area identified on the map in Bylaw 3746, 2012.

The types of activities, qualifying threshold values, amounts of exemption, and maximum term for a Tax Exemption are not being amended.

The maximum term of a Tax Exemption shall be 5 years subject to issuance of a Tax Exemption Certificate by the Director of Finance & Computer Services.

A copy of the proposed bylaw “City of Cranbrook Downtown Revitalization Tax Exemption Amendment Bylaw No. 3808, 2014” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until August 18, 2014 at City Hall, 40 – 10th Avenue South Cranbrook BC, or downloaded from the City’s website at http://www.cranbrook.ca Municipal Clerk

‘The World Convulsed:’ Part I

This is the first in a four-part series describing the outbreak of World War One, 100 years ago this week, as seen through the pages of the Cranbrook Herald Barry Coulter With files from Jim Cameron

“T

he World Convulsed” was the banner headline stretching across the top of the front page of the Cranbrook Herald, on Thursday, August 6, 1914.

Five weeks earlier, on July 2, 1914, the Herald had printed a short article on page five, reporting the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir apparent to the Austrian throne. It was to be the catalyst that would lead to the war in Europe one month later although few in Cranbrook would have recognized it as such at the time.

The region was still in shock and grief, in the aftermath of an explosion in the Hillcrest coal mine near Blairmore, Alberta, which took the lives of 189 men, many of whom were known to the people of Cranbrook. It remains the worst coal mining disaster in Canadian history (Jim Cameron, Janus, June 13,2014).

But as the convoluted web of European alliances and mobilization plans of various nations began to inevitably play out, a European crisis began that would push all other headlines of the front pages.

Britain declared war on Germany and

Austria-Hungary on August 4, meaning that the Dominion of Canada was automatically at war as well. The Governor General of Canada — Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn — officially declared war on Germany the next day, Wednesday, August 5. It would be another month before Canadian troops arrived in Europe.

The war, as expected, began with free maneuvering in Belgium and Northern France, as French and Belgian troops moved to counter the advancing German’s “Schlieffen Plan,” a twopronged attack through France and Belgium (it was Germany’s violation of Belgium’s neutrality which prompted the British, and thus Canadian, declarations of war). The British Expeditionary Force would arrive in France on August 16.

In 1914, the Cranbrook Herald, along with its rival the Cranbrook Prospector, were going through difficult times, made even more so by the advent of the war. J.R. Thompson was the Herald editor at the time.

L.P. Sullivan, a long-time employee, would become editor later that year.

There was no news, per se, of Canada’s declaration of war, the following day, Thursday, August 6. But Herald staff had compiled a rather comprehensive summary of international events as they were occurring.

The sub-headlines and short stories stacked in columns on the front page of the August 6 edition, compiled via electric printing telegraph technology, discuss in large measure the stiffer than expected resistance that the Germans came up against in Belgium.

• “Belgian troops re-

August 1914: London army volunteers await their pay. The Cranbrook Herald reported that more than 250,000 volunteers had enlisted on August 6, 1914. pulse German invaders (Attacking army meets with withering fire from big guns of frontier fortresses — Mine exploded under train).”

• “Prussians nearly annihilated.”

• “Defeated Germans Lost Heavily (the Germans, completely repulsed, have been unable to renew their attack on Liege).”

• “Belgians Win Sweeping Victory (two entire regiments of Germans said to have been decimated).”

The reportage is in the language of the time — nations are referred to as “she,” for instance, and the news of Great Britain declaring war is rather breathless (“…that momentous decision for which the whole world

has been waiting!”).

And while there is not any overt jingoism, or suggestions that this will be a short war, there are some clues as to the irony that a new world that no one was expecting was at hand.

• “Quarter Million volunteer in London.”

“Over one quarter million volunteers were enrolled in London today (Aug. 6). The enrollment was the result of the British War Office issuing a call to arms for 100,000 men.”

The enthusiastic rush to enlist, by young men from all nations, was unprecedented. Patriotism was never on such joyous display.

But the early war of free maneuvering, so 19th century, had by the

end of the fall resulted in the infamous trench system and stalemate, and the original British army had been wiped out.

The Herald also reported that a mob in Winnipeg stoned the German and Austrian consulates and German clubs. Also, “a frenzied mob at Vancouver tore down the ensign from the German consulate offices.”

And: “The Ottawa government has stated that they will not allow Austrians or Germans to leave Canada.”

And: “Canadian troops, from present indications, will number about 100,000, and will be hurriedly mobilized and sent to England.”

(Canada’s expeditionary force eventually totalled

620,000 people mobilized, of which more than 60,000 were killed and 250,000 wounded — a 39 per cent casualty rate).

And: “Mobilization notices have been posted in Cranbrook calling for the report of all naval reservists.”

The Herald also published a sidebar showing the naval strength of the “Seven Nations Involved” — Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia, France, Great Britain and Servia (sic), with tables listing super-dreadnaughts, dreadnaughts, other battleships, armored cruisers, cruisers, destroyers, torpedo boats and submarines.

Another sidebar shows “How the War Powers figure in the fi-

nances of the World.”

And the Herald published a piece of several hundred words on its front page, detailing the underlying causes of the war, in particular how it stemmed from Austria-Hungary’s confrontation with Servia.

In the coming weeks, the Herald would report how Cranbrook would start sending its own volunteers off to war, that a Kootenay regiment was to be formed, citizens would meet to find ways to equip two companies, and members of the local Rifle Association would step forward.

See tomorrow’s Daily Townsman for Part II of “The World Convulsed.”

Campfire prohibition begins today in SE Fire Centre From page 1 Whitetail Brook Fire The largest fire in this area remains Whitetail Brook, approximately 10 K east of Canal Flats. As of the Sunday, August 3, the Southeast Fire Centre reports that fire 30 per cent contained, having grown

to 975 hectares.

The following forest service roads leading to the area are now closed: • The main Whiteswan Forest Service Road from Highway 93/95 junction to the 32-km marker.

• The main Kootenay Forest Service Road from the 3-km marker to 34.5-km (White-Rock Forest Ser-

vice Road and Kootenay Forest Service Road junction).

• The entire White-Rock Forest Service Road.

River users will also not be able to access areas included in this restriction. BC Parks has evacuated Whiteswan Provincial Park and it will be closed until further notice.

$345 fine

Anyone found in violation of a fire prohibition, including campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs.

The Southeast Fire Centre cov-

ers the area extending from the U.S. border in the south to Mica Dam in the north and from the Okanagan Highlands and Monashee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. This includes the Selkirk and Rocky Mountain resource districts.

Teacher talks to resume Aug. 8 What’s Up? To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

Negotiators for school districts and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation are getting together Aug. 8 to seek a settlement in their long-running dispute before school starts up in September.

A brief statement from the BCTF announced the resumption of talks Friday afternoon, a day after the B.C. govern-

ment announced a contingency plan to pay strike savings to parents of younger students if the strike keeps schools shut in September.

The government saves an estimated $12 million a day when teachers go without paycheques, enough to pay parents $40 per missed school day for each child under 13 in public school.

Recreation centres are pre-

paring to extend summer camp and activity programs into the fall.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced the contingency plan Thursday after several weeks without movement in the long-running dispute that shut schools for the last two weeks of June.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said the union’s demands are far be-

yond settlements with other public sector unions, particularly on benefit improvements.

The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association estimates the union’s benefit demands alone represent an additional $225 million a year. Those include increases to preparation time, pregnancy and parental leave, extended health and dental and substitute teacher compensation.

Breaking Barriers

Transportation and Accommodation My name is Raux, and I have a disability.

This is the eighth in a weekly series about living with a disability in a community like Cranbrook.

Usually we travel away from home, but what do we have to offer visitors in the way of accessibility as a hosting community; what does accessible even mean? Ramps & elevators, a bathroom with grab bars, a walk-in shower with a bench? Depending on your needs this could mean many things...

Accommodations: When looking at the accessibility of a room I need enough room for my wheelchair to turn around, a shower that is not only walk-in but level with the bathroom floor and most importantly a bed that is open underneath. I use a Pivot lift that I bring with me, it is uncommon and most loan services don’t have them available, but like other common Hoyer, sling and sit-to-stand lifts it has a long base frame to stabilize the lift and needs to roll underneath the bed.

Most hotel beds are now boarded up

underneath so that things won’t fall underneath and get left behind. These boards tend to be fixed and unable to be removed even temporarily—this is the deciding factor for me staying in that establishment. It would be very helpful if even one side was hinged or had a removable panel in the accessible rooms.

Though cots and hide-a-beds are open underneath they are very low which can make it difficult getting in and out of the lift, with someone assisting you they could injure their backs if you are much lower than you would be in a bed.

Transportation: Did you know Cranbrook has a wheelchair taxi now? Yay! Now I can go for dinner or drinks downtown in the evenings, visit the casino and get to the airport. Our transit system and Handy Dart are good services that I use on a regular basis but they are only available during the day excluding holidays—and weekends for Handy Dart—at appointed times and within city limits.

Transit is now crossing the tracks to pro-

vide service along Industrial Rd #2, they are not getting the ridership they expected to from this area and we may run the risk of losing this route if we don’t use it.

Greyhound can assign an accessible bus to your travel route if you call ahead to make arrangements. Passenger trains with sleeper cars also offer accessible cabins.

Equipment Rental: The Red Cross and other services have equipment available for temporary use; this is helpful for visitors as well. The Red Cross does require a referral from a health care professional to acquire equipment. …I don’t enjoy flying anymore (I prefer road trips) not much has changed with accessible air travel—the doors on every plane are still one size fits all. I have to be transferred (without a lift) into this tiny dolly-chair and hauled up the stairs like a refrigerator and transferred over to my seat.

Fortunately this is a temporary discomfort, once I’m back on the ground the exploring can commence!

Sincerely, Raux

The Legacy of the First World War “It was not worth even one life,” said Harry Patch shortly before he died in 2009 at the age of 111. He was the last survivor of the 65 million soldiers who fought in the First World War, and by the time he died it was a normal, quite unremarkable thing to say. But he would never have said it in 1914.

Very few people thought that war was a bad thing in 1914. LOSING a war could be a bad thing, but the obvious solution to that problem was to be very good at war. Human beings had always fought wars, military values were deeply embedded in our culture, and nobody expected those attitudes to change. And then they did change.

The First World War was a human tragedy, of course, but this was when the human race began to question the whole institution of war: how useful it is, but also how inevitable it really is. And the answer to both questions is: not very.

There are still a few countries that owe everything to their ability to win wars: Israel comes to mind at once. But most countries, and most people, now see war as a very undesirable last resort. We have the First World War to thank for this great change.

The thing most people miss about the First World War is that it was a perfectly normal political event. Ever since the rise of modern centralised states in 16th-century Europe, they had all gone to war with each other in two big alliances at around half-century intervals. The wars were effectively about everything: borders in Europe, trade routes, colonies in Asia, Africa and the Americas.

The great powers fought other, littler wars as well, but these big events – the 30

Years’ War, the War of the Spanish Succession, the Seven Years’ War and so on – were like a general audit of their status. Who’s up, and who’s down? Who can expand, and who must yield?

It was a perfectly viable system, because the wars mostly involved small professional armies and did not disturb civilian populations much. The casualties were low, and hardly any major player ever crashed out of the system entirely.

Naturally enough, most people did not see this system as a problem that had to be solved. It was just anGwynne other fact of life.

The only diplomatic difDyer ference in 1914 was that the great powers coordinated their moves better than before. Almost all of them were at war in a few days, where it would have taken months or even a few years in the old days. The armies could move quickly to the frontiers by rail, so now you created your alliances BEFORE the war – and everybody had the telegraph, so the final decisions were made fast.

But once the war started, everything was different. The armies were ten times as big as they used to be, because these were now rich industrialised countries that could afford to put most of the adult male population into uniform. That meant that the soldiers getting killed were fathers, brothers, husbands and sons: part of the community, not the wastrels, drunks and men on the run who made up such a large part of the old professional armies.

And they were getting killed in unprecedented numbers. The new weapons — machine guns, modern artillery and so on — were very efficient killing machines, and within a month the soldiers had to take shelter in trenches from the “storm of steel”. They spent the rest of the war trying

to break through the trenches, and by the end of it 9 million of them had been killed.

THAT is what changed everything.

One response to the ordeal, inevitably, was to demonise the other side and define the war as a crusade against evil. That way, at least, the ghastly sacrifice of lives could be seen as necessary and meaningful. But many people saw through the propaganda, and some of them were in high places.

The senior politicians and diplomats of 1918, living amid the wreckage of the old world, could see that the old international system was now delivering catastrophe, and had to be changed. So they set out to change it, by creating the League of Nations. They outlawed aggressive war, and invented the concept of “collective security” to enforce the new international rules.

They failed, at first, because the legacy of bitterness among the losers in the First World War was so great that a second one came only twenty years later. That one was bigger and worse — but at the end, everybody tried again. They had to.

The United Nations was founded in 1945, with slightly more realistic rules than the League of Nations but the same basic goal: to stop wars among the great powers, for those are the wars that kill in the millions. Stopping other wars too would be nice, but first things first — especially now that there are nuclear weapons around.

All you can say is that it hasn’t failed yet in its main task: no great power has fought any other one directly for the past 69 years.

Ignore the headlines that constantly tell you the world is falling apart. The glass is more than half-full.

Canadian flavour at Rogers Cup S T E PHE N W HYN O Canadian Press

For fans and organizers at the Rogers Cup, Milos Raonic and Vasek Pospisil picked just about the perfect time to play in the first all-Canadian men’s tennis final.

While Raonic and Pospisil were trading serves in Washington, the hype was building up for this week’s masters 1000 event in Toronto. In addition to the big names like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, the Rogers Cup features a deep field that includes plenty of home-grown talent.

“Right now with the way things are going with Canadian tennis, I would expect we would have some really, really good crowds here,’’ 8th-seeded Andy Murray said.

The Rogers Cup is the next step on the tour as Canada enjoys a golden age. On the women’s side, Eugenie Bouchard is in Montreal, while Raonic and Pospisil are in the main men’s draw in Toronto along with Frank Dancevic, Peter Polansky and 19-yearold Brayden Schnur, who qualified with a victory Sunday.

Because of its spot in the U.S. Open series a month before the Grand Slam, the Rogers Cup has always attracted some of the game’s best.

But Karl Hale, who has been tournament director since 2006, knows this is even better because a generation of Canadians has emerged.

“We always talked about: ‘Could you imagine if’ and that imagine if is now in Milos, Eugenie, Vasek,’’ Hale said. “It’s amazing to see that actually happen before our eyes. The hype here has been just unbelievable.

When I talk to the sales team, they’re talking about Milos and now they’re talking about Vasek, so everybody’s looking forward to watching them this week.’’

Raonic, who beat Pospisil in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, Sunday to capture the Citi Open, is set to

play his first Rogers Cup match Wednesday night against either Jack Sock or Jurgen Melzer. It was Raonic’s sixth title of his career and more evidence of his rise.

Raonic, who goes into the Rogers Cup ranked sixth in the world, got waxed by Federer in the Wimbledon semifinals.

And while Raonic impressed with that run, his frustration in not winning showed Federer something.

The Rogers Cup represents interesting times in general for men’s tennis. Djokovic goes into the week as the world’s No. 1 player after winning Wimbledon, and the rest of the bracket includes big names like Murray and Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka.

Pospisil will even face a serious challenge in his opening match against Richard Gasquet, who Pospisil beat in the semifinals at the Citi Open this weekend. He told fans in Washington that it felt like he was “playing in front of a Canadian crowd,’’ and will get that chance again this week.

Raonic said last week in Washington that beyond the top players, men’s tennis is “wideopen.’’ Federer pointed out that the top-tier has remained unchanged for some time, but he thinks some injuries have opened the door for others to step into the void.

“Wawrinka winning the Australian Open really gave belief to other guys,’’ Federer said. “But belief, it is not enough.

You’ve got to pull through. That’s what I mentioned with the other guys now: It’s nice talking about it, but at the end they’ve got to do it.’’

Defending champion Rafael Nadal withdrew last week, but Djokovic, Murray and Federer have each won this event before. Murray doesn’t put much into having previously won the Rogers Cup because his focus is on this year and what it means in the next month or so.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My mother has always had a rocky relationship with her sister, “Josie,” for many reasons. The final straw came after Josie stole money from my mother seven years ago. They haven’t spoken to each other since.

I understand that my aunt hurt my mother badly and what she did was unforgivable. I know Josie doesn’t deserve another chance, but I wish my mother would give her one anyway. Josie has changed her ways over the past seven years and now lives a very stable life. I don’t think she’s the same person.

No one in my family (including me) will ever trust Josie because of the things she’s done. But I wish my mother would call her sister and say that she loves and forgives her. My siblings and I have talked to Mom about this, but she always brushes us off. I know this is between the two of them, but they aren’t getting any younger, and they don’t have an eternity to reconcile. I don’t want my mother or Josie to have any regrets.

Is there anything we can do? -- Worried Daughter and Niece Dear Daughter: You are kind, forgiving and understanding to want your mother to reconcile with her sister before it’s too late.

Unfortunately, until your mother reaches the same conclusion, there is little you can do. You say Josie has changed, but at the same time, you will never trust her. It’s difficult to forgive someone who has repeatedly broken your trust and hurt you, and not all reconciliations are beneficial if the behavior continues.

But you can ask your mother what Josie would need to do to get back in her good graces and then see whether Josie is up to the task. Beyond that, please let your mother decide how much pain she is willing to risk to have her sister back in her life.

Dear Annie: I read your columns about babies crying in church. I have a different issue. What about parents who completely ignore what their children do in church?

Last Sunday, there were two children, a boy and a girl, about 7 or 8, who spent the entire service crawling under the pews, lifting up the kneeler, playing catch, kicking and shoving each other and completely destroying my ability to concentrate on the mass. The parents did absolutely nothing.

The father fell asleep, and the mother never looked at her kids, not even when they bumped against her.

Right before communion, they started pinching each other and whimpering in pain. By then I couldn’t take it anymore. I told them to knock it off. They stopped and put their heads on their parents’ shoulders.

The parents glanced at me with astonishment. Meanwhile, in the row behind me was a single mom with four kids who left twice with the baby for 10 minutes and left the rest of her little kids alone.

Parents seem to think that their children have the right to do anything they want whenever they want. Then they wonder why the kids get into trouble. - Fed-Up Grandma in Chicago Dear Grandma: Parents often don’t realize that discipline makes children feel secure and loved. When kids are allowed to run wild, they don’t know what the boundaries are, and they keep pushing until they do. But we also understand that parents of young children can be exhausted. We admire those who are kind enough to engage the children in some quiet activity and give the parents a break.

Dear Annie: I never had a weight problem until I was older. When I read about “Concerned Old Man in West Hills” calling his niece “fat,” it reminded me of a T-shirt I once saw. It said, “I may be fat, but you are ugly, and I can diet.” -- Toledo, Ohio Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Re: Colvin McBurney â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebration of Life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 12, 2014â&#x20AC;?

Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude to you, our family and friends for the support poured out to us during this very special event. Although grief is a process weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become very much aware of since the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, we cling to our hope and thank our Savior daily for his gift of eternity where we will be together again.

Thank you to those of you who brought food, helped with preparation for this event and especially to all who came to support us and shared the fond memories you have of Colvin. Words donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be enough to express our gratitude for all of you and the support youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to us.

May God richly bless you.

McBruney and family Love, Joy McBurney
