“He loves this community and it is the least we can do to recognize his service and dedication,” said Mayor Ron McRae. “The road connects Marysville and Kimberley, which is appropriate for Jim.”

The front page of the Cranbrook Herald of Thursday, August 20, was busy with all the news fit to print, including the death of Pope Pius X earlier that same morning, the Australian victory over the Americans in the Davis Cup of Tennis, the coroner’s inquest into the murder of Sasamoto the Japanese truck farmer, and the narrow escape of Mrs. W.T. Matthews, who was nearly struck by a stray bullet. Joe Taylor, it turns out, who operated Peerless Dairy, was shooting at a hawk with 30-30 rifle at his ranch on the edge of the city. One of the

bullets, the Herald reported, went about 600 yards, striking the residence of Mrs. Chambers, where Mrs. Matthews was visiting. The bullet “passed through several walls and partitions and proceeded on its way,” but not before shattering some glass over Mrs. Matthews.

Meanwhile in Europe, on August 20, the British Expeditionary Force, having landed in France, was advancing to its forward positions near the Belgium frontier, to hold the line of the Mons– Condé Canal against the advancing German 1st Army, who had driven the Belgian army back John allen photo westward.

regional NEWS Former Fernie Tim Hortons foreign workers threatened with deportation K atelyn Dingman Fernie Free Press

A Filipino family and the alleged victims of employee abuse at the Fernie Tim Hortons store are taking action against threats of depor-

tation .

“It’s really hard,” Jona Pineda said.

“It’s okay for me if it’s just me, but I have my family, I have my kids here.”

Alex Hanson, the

president of the United Steelworkers (USW) local 9346 said the threat of deportation is the result of a moratorium that was put on the service industry, a moratorium that lasted several

months and put a halt to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

“When we saw the moratorium on the food services industry, we knew right away this was the federal govern-

After rooting through the basement for about 10 minutes, a cardboard box under the stairs was identified as the source of the noise. The box was isolated and carefully opened. Inside, they found a lone mouse.

ments attempt at splitting the foreign workers and labour groups such as ourselves, trade unions such as ourselves,” he said.

“People in the food services essentially speak up and then they get punished for it by deportation. I think it’s really sad.”

Pineda filed a complaint against former Tim Hortons’ franchise owner Pierre Pellier claiming that he demanded cash payment for any overtime wages she received.

Pineda, along with a group of other temporary foreign workers from the Philippines are set to have their complaints over the alleged discrimination heard by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

But Hanson said if Pineda were to be deported, she wouldn’t even be to around for the Tribunal.

“How is anybody supposed to complain or get any justice out of the deal?” Hanson asked.

“We’ve seen the whole food services industry in total disarray, where abuse has become a pattern.”

Now, in response to the threat of deportation Pineda and her husband Chris are seeking legal council and are in the process of applying for a temporary resident visa.

Pineda said the application processing time is around six months and they are currently living in Canada on an applied status.

She said she hopes she will be able to finish her immigration papers before her family is deported.

“We really wanted to stay here permanently in Canada….because of our kids,” Pineda said.

“We wanted to give them a better future.”

And Hanson and the USW local 9346 have been working with Pineda every step of the way.

“They are our angels,’ Pineda said.

“They’ve been there all throughout, they’ve been helping us. They’re kind of a blessing to us.”

Gathering at Jim Ogilvie Way From page 1 Ogilvie first served as Commissioner for the Village of Marysville in 1965 and then as Alderman during the 1968 amalgamation of the City of Kimberley with the villages of Chapman Camp and Marysville. He was instrumental in the transition period of Marysville and Kimberley during the amalgamation and continued the journey toward economic independence and continued prosperity for Kimberley.

Ogilvie also oversaw the transition from mining to tourism during the run up to and during the Sullivan Mine closure.

“Moving from an industrial based economy to a tourism based economy was inevita-

ble knowing that the Sullivan Mine would eventually close one day”, said McRae. “The road that has been named after him served many Cominco operations during his political career.

“We hope the recognition to rename this important street in our community is perceived as one of his highest achievements.”

Family and friends of Jim Ogilvie are invited to attend a photo-op and small ceremony at the corner of Jim Ogilvie Way and Rotary Drive, starting at 11 a.m. on Friday, August 8. Following the ceremony, refreshments will be served at the Kimberley Aquatic Centre, Kimberley Alpine Resort Multi-purpose room.

“The foe is upon thee and grave is the day” From Page 1 The British position on the French flank meant that the British stood in the path of the German First Army, the outermost wing of the massive “right hook” intended by the Schlieffen Plan to encircle and destroy the Allies.

The Allies’ first major engagement of the war, the Battle of Mons, was only days away, and the Cranbrook Herald would have extensive reportage of that affair the next week.

But on August 20, the Herald — and all of Cranbrook — was celebrating the city’s first contingent of volunteers, 21 men and true.

“The boys are leaving as soon as orders are received for their departure.”

The Herald added that the first contingent was selected by Geo. P. Tisdale, recruiting officer for Cranbrook, through whose efforts over 50 men have been enlisted and will go to the front should they be needed.”

The first contingent was named individually as Walter Chambers, James Milne, A.T. Underhill, A. Proudfoot, E. Kettringham, John Braik, J. Wilde, H.W. Templeman, J. Hickinbottom, Fred Brown, E. Gyde, J. Cameron, Kenneth Spencer, E. Parry, Gordon Knight, Frank Roselli, Dr. J.H.M. Bell, A. Ragotte, D. McLennan, F.C. Edge and F.E. Bartsnell. Most of these first few had been selected on the basis of previous military experience, the individual details of which the Herald included.

The Herald described the recruits further with this sentence:

Cranbrook Historical Archives 1976-063-004

Cranbrook’s first contingent of recruits, on the steps of the Cranbrook Court House, August, 1914.

“Most of all those composing the first contingent are well known Cranbrook boys and the prayers and well wishes of the whole city will follow them as they tread their various paths of duty and every citizen has full confidence that they will acquit themselves in every way as good Canadian citizens have always been found to do and add laurels to the brave men who have answered the call before in defense of the empire should they be called into battle against the enemy.”

A battle with the enemy may have been imminent, but in the fortnight after the war began a party atmosphere pervaded the

streets. “The entire city stood draped in bunting of red, white and blue to compliment the emergence of Union Jack flags. An Empire War Fund-Raising Meeting took place at the Rex Theatre on Aug. 17, replete with speeches and songs honouring the volunteers.” (Jim Cameron, Janus, June 13, 2014) One of the speakers was Dr. J.H. King, who “eloquently outlined the

part that Britain must play in the present crisis and the duty Canada owed to the empire as an integral part. He stated that the present conflict was not a war of conquest on the part of Britain, but one in which she must maintain her honor.”

Shortly thereafter the newly inducted young soldiers were paraded from Baker Street to the lawns of the residence of

Colonel James Baker’s son Valentine Hyde Baker (now mostly a senior housing complex) led by the city band and the Boy Scouts. The evening celebration featured coloured electric lights, a large dancing pavilion, refreshments booths, a fish pond, fortune telling, a shooting gallery and a large bonfire, all looking “truly tropical and romantic under the moonlight.”

(Jim Cameron, Janus, June 13, 2014) The next day, “the volunteers were tendered a smoker for the volunteers at the Auditorium, which was largely attended.” A band played, solos and duets were performed on accordion, mandolin and guitar, and many songs were sung. Money raised from the sale of tickets to the smoker was divided up among the boys, “who compose Cranbrook’s first contingent to the front.”

As for the news of the war itself, the Herald was largely concerned with developments in the Far East.

• “Japan Sends An Ultimatum To Germany” (Given Until Sunday, August 23rd, To Withdraw From Orient And Hand Over Kiao Chau To Japan”). Kiao Chau was a German protectorate in China.

Three British regiments were reported ready to sail to co-operate with Japanese land forces. It was said that Germans in Kiao Chau were putting themselves on war footing “to the great detriment of commerce, and that its converted cruisers were seizing English merchant vessels, and action “directly calculated to disturb the peace of Eastern Asia.”

• “Japan Gives Assurance.” According to the Mail, the Japanese government in Tokio (sic)

“has given assurance that she will restore to China the German colony of Kiao Chau, and that the formal understanding will dissipate anxiety in the United States and Australia over the possibility of Japan establishing herself on the Chinese mainland.

The Herald also published a poem by Poet Laureate Robert Bridges on the present crisis (the following is abridged):

Thou careless, awake Thou peacemaker, fight!

Stand, England, for honour And God guard the right.

Thy mirth lay aside, They cavil and play, The foe is upon thee And grave is the day.

The Monarch, Ambition, Has harnessed his slaves, But the folk of the ocean Are free as the waves.

Through Fire, air and water Thy trial must be, But they that love life best, Die gladly for thee.

Much suffering shall cleanse thee, But thou through the flood, Shall win to salvation To beauty through blood.

Mussel pilot Mount Polley mine tailings spill deemed raises fears for Fraser salmon project successful Jeff Nagel Black Press

An estimated 1.5 million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill.

The Quesnel system sockeye make up a major portion of what’s hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society.

“This is one of the greatest environmental disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the effluent will be getting in the Fraser. The big question is how concentrated, how harmful it will be. Some of these compounds have short term impacts and some have much longer term impacts.”

While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is particularly concerned that other much weaker

stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed.

“People have to be concerned about not just what it means for the returning fish but for the juveniles rearing in the lake right now,” he said. “We don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to find their home waters.”

Resident fish at risk include threatened bull trout and plentiful rainbow trout.

At a news conference in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow trout, and its arsenic level is one fifth of the limit for drinking water. He described the effluent as “relatively benign.”

The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Interior coho salmon are supposed to spawn in a few weeks.

Gord Sterritt, executive director of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had already raised concerns that planned releases of effluent into the creek by mine operator Imperial Metals might harm the coho.

Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River.

“Those fish will be holding or just about to enter the spawning grounds pretty quick,” Sterritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the toxic elements are going to do those fish. And then there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.”

Contamination that reaches the mainstem Fraser could affect fish spawning hundreds of kilometres away, such as in Stuart Lake near Fort St. James.

Cranbrook Wardner trail approved ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

The Regional District of East Kootenay approved $20,000 from the Community Works Fund Reserve, for the Trans Canada Trails Society to develop of the trail between Cranbrook and Wardner. The motion came forward in the Aug. 1 regional district board meeting.

The society estimates the total cost to develop the trail will be $165,000.

The society has said it will match every dollar of local funding with $2.30.

So far the society has been successful in raising some of the $50,000 of required local funding through the Columbia Basin Trust.

Rob Gay, chair of the board of directors, noted that based on board policy, each year $15,000 of the Community Works Fund is set aside in a reserve fund for trail development.

He noted that the balance of the reserve fund is approximately $95,000.

“I would appreciate receiving the Electoral Area Directors’ support to contributing $20,000 from the Community Works Fund to construction of the Cranbrook to Wardner portion of the Trans Canada Trail,” Gay wrote.

The directors at the meeting did give their support.

The trail project has been broken down into three phases over the

From Page 4 “It was pretty successful,” said Todd Larson, with the EKIPC. Larson was out in the field for a number of days this weekend. “We didn’t find any zebra mussels, which is a positive and kind of what we were expecting and hoping for. It was a good partnership with the conservation officers and the border officers.”

The Canada Border Services Agency allowed the teams to set up at two East Kootenay borders. Larson said that despite the aquatic invasive species being provincial, not federal, jurisdiction, border services allowed them to set up inspection areas anyway.

“They allowed us to set up just on our side of the border crossing,”

Larson said. “It was nice to have that presence there as people were coming through.

Most boaters coming through were aware of the issues with aquatics.”

That’s because they have likely been stopped already in neighbouring provinces and U.S. states, like Idaho and Alberta, where there are already mandatory inspection stations set-up.

“Now it’s just B.C. doing our due-diligence here,” he said.

“This weekend was the first of its kind in B.C. so it’s nice to have that exposure as a pilot initiative for sure. We had crews on the water at Koocanusa, at boat launches in that area, so Kikkomun, Tye, Rosen, the RDEK launch and

then two border crossings, Roosville and Kingsgate.”

He didn’t have the exact numbers, but estimated over the three days they looked at about 150 boats.

“There was nothing high risk,” he said. “It was mostly just people from Alberta that went down to Idaho or Montana and things like that. It was pretty localized traffic. No one coming up from California or the Great Lakes, where we would have had to do a full decontamination.”

He said it was good just to show people what they were looking for and raise awareness and get the message out there.

Grant, and there followed numerous other uses by Gerald Ford, Ron Ziegler (Nixon’s press secretary) Henry Kissinger, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush (who neatly summed up the entire debacle in Iraq with “mistakes were made”) British PM David Cameron, the Catholic Church (!) and countless others.

So it seems we, the gullible public, perhaps do buy into it. At least an apology was made, we must reason, so it’s okay. Mr. Fontana’s use of “I made a mistake” is notable by comparison but we shouldn’t laud him too much as he was only speaking the truth. He did make a mistake and he’s paying for it. As is Alison Redford, though she will only admit “mistakes were made”. I wonder how long it will take before we hear that phrase in relation to the tailings pond breach at Mount Polley Mine. I’m betting not long at all.

By the way, if there are any inaccuracies in this column, “mistakes were made”.

Opinion/Events

On the afternoon of Sunday July 5 a crew of four Kimberley Search and Rescue members were searching the north shore of the St. Mary River for a missing person.

The searchers encountered private property part way through the search and, therefore, knocked on a door for trespass permission.

When apprised of the situation several of the residents in the area immediately ceased what they were doing and offered the search crew assistance. Individual residents personally guided them to access trails, pointed out where recent high water had changed some channels on the river and alerted their neighbours to the presence of the searchers. These actions were extremely helpful to the ground search team. The team is grateful for the assistance, understanding and empathy shown them by the residents.

While it was a sad and traumatic situation that was unfolding the actions of the St. Mary residents demonstrates how the people of our area rise to the task of helping out when the need exists.

The members and directors of Kimberley Search and Rescue wish to thank the residents of the St. Mary area residents for their assistance.

Scott MacLeod, President Kimberley Search and Rescue

JulyFest Success

The Kimberley & District Chamber of Commerce congratulates the volunteers and participants of the 42nd JulyFest on a great success.

This year, we saw the parade continue growth by both street attendance and parade entries. Meg Chapman did a fantastic job of ensuring the organization of the parade, and scheduling all of JulyFest volunteer assignments. We also want to thank the United Church for being hospitable by allowing parade participants to use their facilities for costume preparation, as well as providing muffins and coffee.

The Kids Fest at Rotary Park expanded to include two bouncy castles, caricature paintings, entertainers, and on-site supervision all free of charge. We greatly appreciate all the young people who were able to come out and enjoy the day at the park.

The Canadian Bocce Championships was well attended with 210 teams competing in the three-day tournament. The Championships included a variety of food

vendors, 10 live bands in the bocce pits, licensed security, and a large family of volunteers to make it all happen. Many of these volunteers made their way to the Civic Centre to prepare for the Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason sold-out show later on Saturday evening. These people dedicated many hours of volunteer time to ensure the success of JulyFest and we are incredibly grateful for their support.

Once again, Dave Clarke guided the event through his organizational and leadership skills. He has raised the bar again in showcasing JulyFest and Kimberley and we appreciate his hard work.

The Chamber would like to address recent headlines in The Daily Bulletin on July 22nd and July 28th. These headlines inferred that RCMP intervention was required for JulyFest. This was not the case, as later detailed in each article. Although RCMP presence near the Civic Centre is part of the security planning during JulyFest activities, there were no calls for police assistance at any of the events we conducted. We are proud to ensure that all the participants can have a fun and safe time during the events we conduct. The Chamber continues to learn best practices for the JulyFest, and we will continue to work towards making JulyFest the Best of the Fests.

Mike Guarnery, Manager Kimberley & District Chamber of Commerce

Misanthropy and Generosity

On August 2nd my mother and I were returning from huckleberry picking when our vehicle suffered a tire blowout just west of the Yahk junction, leaving us and our dog stuck on the side of a busy highway in high heat. We found there is no cell phone reception in that area. Neither Mom nor I could change the tire.

A mother/daughter pair, Kate and Christine, stopped to assist us, and drove to the Yahk junction to place a call to BCAA. The business owner refused to let them use his phone, directing them to a payphone across the road. When they returned to ask to use his directory, he refused them that also. They told him a couple of women were stranded on the highway, and he indicated that wasn’t his concern. The women then drove back to tell us they had failed to find help. Meanwhile, an RCMP officer out of Creston had

stopped and radioed in for a tow truck.

The women took time out of their day, and away from their trip, to help strangers, despite inconvenience and heat. They remind us of the best in human nature and we thank them for their kindness.

How things change. When I was growing up in the East Kootenay a million years ago, it was unheard of to have road trouble and not have people stop to help. This time, no one but the women, who were from Ottawa, and the Queen’s Cowboy bothered with us, despite us trying to flag cars down. And the miserable unpleasantness of the Yahk junction guy is simply unfathomable. With luck karma will come back to bite him on his misanthropic backside.

A Life Saved

I am writing this letter of thanks to all who participated in saving my life from certain death.

I want the city of Cranbrook to know about the treatment centre called “Wings As Eagles.” Wings As Eagles treatment centre is run by Pastor Ron Short. It is a 90-day program and you have to complete a 12step Christian-based program.

This treament centre not only saved my life, but it has formed me into an honourable Christian man.

“Wings” goes far beyond drug treatment; it has given me the tools to live a successful life with integrity.

On May 19 I enrolled in “Wings As Eagles,” and on August 17 I will be graduating, at The Dwelling Place church during their scheduled Sunday service from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Before “Wings,” I was broken, and I was a disrespectful punk. Now I value honour, community and righteous living.

Pastor Ron and his ministry, “Wings As Eagles,” have saved approximately 135 men. So on August 17, 2014, I will be the 136th man saved.

So in regard to my life, I want to thank all who donate to “Wings,” everyone that participates in running “Wings,” house manager Garry Ruff, and Cerry and Larry Lamb at the New Pro Fitness Gym. I want to give a special thanks to my mentor, my spiritual father, my best friend, my pastor, Ron Short. I love you, Ron. With deepest respect Travis Edwin Ronald

New proposals coming in teacher talks To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and school districts are meeting Friday for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender expects new proposals from both sides.

Fassbender said Tuesday it’s the first meeting of full bargaining teams in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has some “new concepts” to bring to the discussion.

“We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key elements,” he said. “We need to see the same from the BCTF. They’ve indicated they’re willing to do that.”

He wouldn’t comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the BCTF’s position on benefits and other compensation is not in the “affordability zone” established by other public sector union agreements.

If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to use the sav-

ings to compensate parents $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school, to assist with daycare or tutoring costs.

Fassbender said there would be no conditions attached to the payout.

“My hope is that there isn’t a nickel available as of September, because schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disruption,” he said.

The B.C. School Trustees’ Association has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings

from the strike to a fund to address class size and special needs support.

Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit demands, which include parental leave, dental benefits, massage therapy and increased preparation time for elementary school teachers.

BCPSEA has offered $375 million over a six-year contract term to provide extra classroom support, and specified class size limits in the teacher contract, to address key issues in a series of court disputes.

Kimberley Golf Club director of golf Tom Vold is on a mission to ensure the game of golf grows strong.

Growing golf at home Kimberley’s Tom Vold dedicated to strengthening game of golf

TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

Tom Vold isn’t just on a mission to grow the game of golf in the East Kootenays. He has his sights set on ensuring the game stays strong right across the globe.

“I’m looking at the game of golf in 25 years,” said the 54-year-old director of golf at Kimberley Golf Club. “If I can get 15 or 20 or 30 kids to play golf for the rest of their life…and we all do that as a golf community, then what we’ve done is made our game stronger.”

A native of Kimberley, Vold’s pursuit of the game has been one of civic nature for longer than he can remember.

The man Vold worked under during his first stint at the Kimberley Golf Club inspired a great deal of his approach.

From 1983 through 1987, Vold was a student of the game under former head professional Bill Quilley before continuing his journey south of the Canadian border.

Together, Quilley and Vold ran a junior golf program that boasted hundreds of pupils at Kimberley Golf Club in the 1980s.

Vold eventually left Kimberley Golf Club and went on to earn his Class A professional designation with Canadian Professional Golfers’ Associ-

ation (CPGA) in 1989 and later earned the same classification as a member of the PGA of America in 1996.

Tack on two titles as PGA Professional of the Year (Las Vegas chapter) and you have the making of a pretty respectable career in golf for someone who didn’t pick up the sticks until he was 20 years old.

In 2011, Vold returned to the Kimberley Golf Club, where his career first teed off.

Fast-forward to 2014 and the junior golf program at Kimberley Golf Club.

While registration numbers might be down from the days Kimberley was a bustling,

mine-driven town in the 1980s, Vold feels the program has come a long way to where it currently stands.

In the past two years, Vold and the Kimberley Golf Club have helped to produce quality Canadian golf talent. Former junior players Jared duToit (University of Idaho, 2013) and Julia Dereniwsky (Texas A&M Corpus Christi, September 2014) have both headed below the 49th parallel on NCAA golf scholarships.

“Anytime you can create a buzz, anytime [the game] is in front of people, that is what’s important,” Vold said.

The Kootenay Ice announced the hiring of Chris Wahl as the club’s new director of sales and public relations Wednesday morning.

Wahl, a native of North Vancouver, joins the club after an extensive history in the BCHL. The 29-year-old spent the 2013-14 season as the director of media relations for the Surrey Eagles. Prior to his time with the Eagles, Wahl was with the Trail Smoke Eaters from 2011 through 2013.

Living in the Cranbrook area until he was 14 years old, Wahl has fond memories of watching the team in its

infancy. That makes this like a homecoming for the newest member of the Ice office staff.

“The team has been really near and dear to me ever since I left,” Wahl said. “It’s an unbelievable honour to come back. I’m thrilled and I can’t wait to get started.”

In addition to the hiring of Wahl, the Ice also announced the hiring of Don MacMillan as a sales consultant.

MacMillan, who is also a bylaw officer with the City of Cranbrook, previously spent a decade with the club from 1998 to 2008.

“We feel very fortunate to add two quality people to our organization in such important

areas (sales and public relations),” said Ice president/GM Jeff Chynoweth in a team press release.

“There is a lot of work yet to be done before the regular season starts in September, but I am confident that between Chris and Don we will not take a step backwards.”

Wahl replaces Kaytee Wheaton, who resigned from the club in July to take a position with Royal LePage East Kootenay Realty.

Woods tests back at PGA Championship DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — After a bit of confusion, Tiger Woods finally arrived at Valhalla on Wednesday.

Now, to determine if he’s fit enough to compete in the PGA Championship.

For three days, there has been speculation about whether Woods’ ailing back would allow him to play in the final major of the year.

He was at least going to give it a shot, after some

miscommunication with the PGA of America.

The organization sent out a release about noon saying Woods was at the course. Then, officials said they weren’t sure he had actually arrived.

About 1:15 p.m. EDT, Woods pulled into his reserved parking spot.

He didn’t seem be in any pain as he got out of the car and changed shoes.

Sporting sunglasses and a goatee, Woods headed straight to the driving range with cad-

die Joe LaCava. Hundreds of fans crowded around a staircase as he crossed over above them, snapping photos of the 14-time major champion with their phones. He pulled out a wedge and started his session with some easy half-swings, eventually working his way up to the driver.

Woods moved slowly but showed no visible signs of discomfort.

Niedermayer charity game tonight TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The puck drops on the annual Niedermayer Hockey School Staff Charity Game tonight at 7 p.m. at Western Financial Place Arena.

Already featuring the likes of brothers Scott and Rob Niedermayer, special guest and former Kootenay Ice star

Jason Jaffray will also lace up the skates in support of the Niedermayer Family Fund, which supports a number of charities in the Cranbrook area.

Entrance into the game is granted by donation.

Edge Hockey facilitates the annual hockey school and according to

owner Peder Lodoen, the charity game alone has raised as much as $1,500 in previous years.

“We want people to realize that hockey is fun, it’s supposed to be a game,” Loeden said Wednesday afternoon.

“It’s not about what hockey can give to you.

Just go out there and have fun.

“It doesn’t matter what level you ever play to. Scott and Rob [Niedermayer] are out there, NHL players…and then you have plugs like me who are just playing for fun. I love every time I get to strap the blades on.”

Lodoen expects a high-octane, offensive affair through two 30-minute periods of hockey.

Kimberley’s DuToit in hunt at Canadian Men’s Amateur Taylor Rocca Sports Editor

Kimberley’s Jared duToit is still alive at the 2014 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in Winnipeg following three rounds of play.

After shooting an opening-round 70, duToit faltered Tuesday afternoon as he fired a second-round score of 75.

Sitting three-over par, duToit slipped past the cut established at fourover.

With two rounds left to play, duToit made the most of his opportunity Wednesday morning, shooting a third-round 70 and scraping his way into a tie for 34th place.

There are 72 players still in contention.

As of press time Wednesday, duToit is 13 strokes back of Corey Conners who sits alone atop the leader board at 10-under.

Kimberley Golf Club director of golf Tom Vold

has coached duToit since 2011.

“His absolute strongest asset…is his competitive spirit,” Vold said. “He is a very cerebral player in the fact he doesn’t get in his own way.”

The fourth and final round of play at the 2014 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship takes place this morning at Elmhurst Golf & Country Club in Winnipeg. DuToit tees off at 7:45 a.m. alongside Ricardo Celia of Colombia and Scott Secord of Calgary.

DuToit recently completed his freshman year at the University of Idaho where he competed in 11 tournaments as a member of the Idaho Vandals golf team. With an average score of 72.33, DuToit registered the best scoring average on the team, earning first-team all-Western Athletic Conference and Freshman of the Year honours.

Reinhart joins 38 other young Canadians vying for a spot on head coach Benoit Groulx’s final 22-man roster.

“I’m here this week trying to give myself the best opportunity to make the team,’’ said Reinhart, who scored in Canada’s

6-2 victory over the Czech Republic on Tuesday. The game was the first of four exhibition matches involving the Russian and Czech national junior teams.

“It’s gone well so far,” added Reinhart. “It’s always tough for a lot of guys coming in during the summer. After the first two practices, things have really started picking up. There are

always going to be a few more mistakes now than when December comes, but we’re aware of that and we’re battling through that.”

The North Vancouver native is captain of the Kootenay Ice where he has scored 101 goals in 203 games. Last seasno he was named WHL Player of the Year.

Vold grows golf in community Continued from page 8

While Vold works one-on-one with students such as duToit and Dereniwsky, he also runs junior golf camps, which have pulled in 16 to 20 students per camp this season. Though it might be easy to jump to the conclusion that lower numbers equal a negative trend for a program such as this, Vold believes in a close student-to-instructor ratio, allowing for more intimate coaching.

With some financial assistance from Telus, Kimberley Golf Club was able to purchase junior equipment in order to provide golfing opportunities to junior-aged players at an accessible cost. A junior-aged golfer

(17 years of age and under) can play nine holes of golf at Kimberley Golf Club for a mere $10.

Don’t have clubs?

Don’t worry. Junior club rentals are free.

By establishing and solidifying a successful junior golf program — exemplified by the likes of duToit and Dereniwsky — and creating affordable access to the game for the newest generation of linksters, Vold is doing his best to ensure golf doesn’t go the way of the dinosaur.

“I’m not concerned about the future of golf,” Vold said, “I have trepidation about it because there seems to be gaps [in participation].

“We’re in a very unique, favourable, enviable position in the fact we can [provide opportunities for new golfers].

Being a semi-private facility really affords us the opportunity to be more

civic-minded, to be more community based, to create things that are more viable to not only the growth of the game now, but in the future.”

Vold hopes to host a Maple Leaf Junior Golf

Tour event to further bolster Kimberley Golf Club’s reputation as a course striving to grow the game of golf, not just in the East Kootenays, but across the country and beyond.

Woods returns to Valhalla Continued from page 8

After less than an hour on the range, he strolled to No. 1 for a practice round with Steve Stricker, Davis Love III and Harris English, about 18.5 hours before his scheduled Thursday morning tee time. Woods has never missed three majors in one year since he played his first one as a 19-year-old amateur in 1995.

Woods had back surgery March 31 and was out for three months, skipping the Masters and the U.S. Open. He re-

turned in late June for the Quicken Loans National at Congressional, where he missed the cut by four shots. He finished 69th at the British Open.

At the Bridgestone Invitational, Woods injured his lower back on the second hole of the final round after hitting an awkward shot from above a bunker and landing hard when he jumped back into the sand.

He was driven off the course after his tee shot on the ninth hole and headed home to Florida for treatment.

Short Back and Sides … R. C. Butler, late of Colorado, has purchased the barbershop lately owned by Ernest Demers, on Baker Street, near the Royal Hotel. Mr. Butler is a thorough and experienced barber, and respectfully solicits a share of the patronage of the good citizens of Cranbrook who wish to be divorced from any portion of their hair.

What Wolves? … Jim Kerrigan had an experience Sunday. He rode “Bobs” out to Jimmy Smith Lake to look at some ice stored there with a view to making a purchase; returning, he avers that he was “chased for a long distance by timber wolves, being saved only by Bobs’ fleet feet.” Upon his hearers displaying incredulousness as to the timber wolf proposition, Jim retorted that “they were either timber wolves or cayuses!” (coyotes?).

Now, Jim, tell the truth; weren’t they chipmunks?

1901 Tooth Ache? … Dr. John Barber will return from Moyie tomorrow and remain in Cranbrook for several days. Those needing anything in the way of dentistry will have an opportunity. The doctor will not be able to remain long, as he is due at Fernie next week.

Hold Up at Moyie ... Moyie, never backward about anything, got into the swim Tuesday night with a first-class hold up, in which S.A. Scott was the victim. Mr. Scott had been talking to a number of people at the Moyie Hotel, where he boards, and left the room to go to one of the outhouses in the rear of the hotel. As he left the building, on his return, he was attacked by three or four men. The assault was so sudden that Scott had no chance to defend himself or escape. He was struck over the head and body with a sand bag, and soon overpowered.

No time was lost by his assailants in going through his pockets and a roll of $300 was secured. Not satisfied with this big haul, they attempted to take a diamond ring from his finger, but were frightened away by persons approaching before they succeeded. Scott was seriously injured and a physician was called to attend him. Constable Drummond was notified, and he instituted a thorough search of the premises, in

hopes that some clue might be secured. Two ladies’ stockings were found filled with sand, and they had evidently been the weapons used in the attack. There are several theories as to who did the work, but there is no general belief that they were the same parties who held up the crowd at Sidar Sunday night.

Special patrolmen were appointed to watch all outgoing trains, and every effort will be made to capture the guilty parties. It is intimated by some that is was the work of parties living right in Moyie, who held a grudge against Scott.

this district, and it hopes that there may be a movement inaugurated that will result in proper protection to the game. This brings to mind the fact that there is considerable dirty work being done in the neighbourhood of Moyie and Swansea, in the way of dynamiting fish. Some of the streams show hundreds of dead fish lying on the bottom, a fact that testifies to the reckless nature of some people who seem to be lost to the idea of true sport and manliness.

South East Kootenay should have a game warden, and that too, without delay.

Great Sport ... A shooting gallery has been opened in the store room next to the Cranbrook Hotel, and it is being operated in a manner that reflects credit upon the proprietor, He understands his business, is accommodating, and has some good guns. For genuine sport, the shooting gallery opens a wide field, and it is thoroughly enjoyed by all. Already there have developed some good shots in town, and there is some rivalry between the contestants. Cory Dow stands in the lead now, with John Hutchison second, and Constable Morris crowding both very closely.

1902 An Elegant Birthday Party ... by an oversight The Herald neglected to note the birthday party given last week by Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Hill to their son Wilbur, 10 years of age, and baby daughter Innes, just three years old. The grounds at the Hill home were beautifully decorated for the occasion and about 100 little folks were invited. It was a jolly evening for them, and nothing was left undone by the hosts to give all a good time.

Dynamiting Fish … The Herald has published one or two articles relative to abuse of the game laws in

Public Schools … The public schools of Cranbrook will open next Monday. There will be three teachers again this year and the prospects for a larger attendance than ever.

Psychic advice

Out of control Part One of Two

Hello Wendy: I am writing as a very unsettled mother and wife. My son is 10 years old and I am having problems with him listening to me and understanding what I am saying. He gets his way because he is out of control, he really doesn’t listen to anyone.

Will he ever be a child that listens and is not rude?

As a wife I am lost because my husband and I seem to be on different paths of discipline and what we want for our son.

Will he ever forgive me or will my marriage always be a little rocky?

Will my life get easier at all or is it going to be a handful until he finishes school?

I have so many questions about my role as a mom and a wife and even a friend to anyone.

My other question is do I have a guardian angel around me?

Unsettled mother and wife Dear Unsettled Mother and Wife: I am going to ask my guides the questions I have come up with that may help you. They will give me the answer to each question so that you may better understand the messages they are trying to relay to you. This is typically how I would conduct a reading if you were having a session with us.

I always start by confirming what you have told us just to set the record straight and see if we are both on the same page, so here goes.

When I gave my guide your name to begin the session he immediately responded to me that you are quite a depressed and a disturbed young lady.

The first question I then asked was: Does the son listen to his mother when she talks to him?

Answer: No. Q. Does the child understand what the mother is saying to him?

A. Definitely.

Q. Does the child imitate how the father treats and talks to his mother?

A. Yes. Q. Does the child get his way with the father most of the time.

A. Yes. Q. Does the child get his way with the mother most of the time?

A. Occasionally.

Q. Is this child emotionally out of control?

A. Definitely.

Q. Does this child listen to any adult person or persons he is with?

A. Yes. Q. Why are the parents on different paths of disciplining their child?

A. There have been emotional problems with their relationship long before this child was in the scene of this play in this lifetime.

Q. Is the father using the child as a tool to get back at the mother?

A. Yes. Q. Is the mother using the child as a tool to get back at the father?

A. Somewhat.

Q. Is this behavioural problem they are having with this child because of their personal relationship?

A. As you know and we have talked about this many times in our session’s children have great intuitive abilities when they are young. This child senses the anger and resentment his parents feel for each other and does not know what to do about it. It makes him feel unwanted and insecure. He then focuses on obtaining negative attention so that he can feel safe and wanted.

There is no plan or structure for this child ASK WENDY on a daily basis, which should be given to him Wendy by his parents or parEvano ent so he can feel safe in his environment.

You know the saying, negative attention is better than no attention at all. My guide didn’t say — that I just added that ditty to the conversation.

Q. Will the husband forgive the wife for what she has done in their marriage?

A. At this time no he will not.

Q. Will their marriage always be a little “rocky”?

A. What does “rocky” mean? It means will their marriage always be unstable as it is now.

We do not presume or interfere in the growth of any individuals on this plane. We try only to help and nurture and give direction on how it can be improved.

In this circumstance we see the woman acting like a guilt-ridden victim and also a defensive human most of the time with this man.

We see the man being intentionally cruel to her and making her pay with his verbal abuse and passive aggressive somewhat hostile statements at times.

There is definitely a fear on both parts of this relationship by this couple because they both refuse to communicate what they are feeling. They need help and guidance and are seeking only to take their frustrations out in negative ways with each other.

This hampers the growth of their relationship and also affects the child.

Tell them to seek the help they need.

Only the brave seek help the weak remain victims unto themselves, I tell you that all the time.

Everyone is born with a guardian angel; you have eight angels and seven guides around you at this time.

Unfortunately I have run out of space for this week’s column and I will answer the rest of your questions next week.

Wendy For personal and over the phone readings phone Wendy @ 426-2127.

Need some help from my guides to answer some of your questions then email me @wevano@shaw.ca

NEWS MDs use MRI-guided ultrasound to zap bone tumour C anadian Press

TORONTO — Doctors at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto have removed a benign tumour from a 16-year-old boy’s leg bone using a cutting-edge heat procedure that does away with any form of invasive surgery.

Jack Campanile of Brampton, Ont., is believed to be the first pediatric patient in North America to be treated using high-intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU, to destroy the tumour, called an osteoid osteoma.

The procedure uses magnetic resonance imaging to precisely pinpoint the tumour, which is then zapped with heat-destroying ultrasound beams “What’s unique about MRI-guided ultrasound is it’s completely non-invasive, so there’s no incisions,” said Dr. James Drake, who leads Sick Kids’ Centre for Image Guided Innovation and Therapeutic Intervention.

“We can actually see what’s happening to the tissue adjacent to the bone, so we know we’re on target, and we can also tell the temperature we’re achieving is sufficient to destroy the lesion, but also not damage anything that’s nearby.”

For almost a year, Jack had been suffering with severe pain in his upper leg, which woke him up in the night and often made it difficult to play some of the sports he loves: hockey, wakeboarding and snow-

boarding.

“It was like somebody Charlie-horsing me over and over again or somebody having my femur bone over top of their knee and trying to shape it into a hockey blade,” he said in an interview Tuesday.

“I couldn’t sit still and on a scale of one to 10, it was definitely an eight or a nine.”

Prior to his July 17 ultrasound procedure, the Grade 11 student said he had been taking three or four ibuprofen tablets a day, and estimated he downed about 700 of the painkillers over the course of the year.

“It was like a painkiller schedule that I didn’t ask for.”

When he was presented with the idea of being treated with HIFU, he and his dad, Tony Campanile, embraced the idea because it was non-invasive. Jack’s mom, Robin Shupe, was initially unsure about the procedure, but said the team of specialists provided all the information she needed to quiet her concerns.

Treatment for the non-cancerous bone tumour used to involve open surgery to remove the tumour; that gave way to a less invasive treatment that uses radio frequency waves or laser energy delivered through a needle inserted though the skin and into the bone.

But that widely used technique carries the risk of side-effects, includ-

HIFU has been employed for some time in Europe to treat osteoid osteoma, but in North America it is mostly used to remove uterine fibroids and malignant tumours that have spread to the bone.

Dr. Michael Temple, an interventional radiologist who led the team that performed Jack’s procedure, believes MRI-guided focused ultrasound represents a key step in the evolution of treatment for oste-

oid osteoma.

“The fact that we’ve moved from an open surgical procedure to a minimally invasive procedure to a completely non-invasive procedure is really why I think this treatment is important,” Temple said.

“We can now treat these tumours without making an incision.

It’s actually our hope that we’ll be able to advance this technology to use it in different types of both benign and malignant diseases in children.”

Waking up at home the day after his procedure, Jack discovered his pain was gone — and it hasn’t come back.

“And that was it,” he said. “It felt like somebody flipped a switch, and it was gone.”

Shupe said after a year of seeing Jack in pain, the procedure restored her son to his old self almost immediately.

“We had our boy back the very next day.”

Austrian woman faces fine for nudity ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Rosetta space probe has spend the past decade catching up to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Space probe catches up with comet ASSOCIATED PRESS

DARMSTADT, Germany — After a journey of 6.4 billion kilometres (4 billion miles), Europe’s unmanned Rosetta probe reached its destination Wednesday, a milestone in mankind’s first attempt to land a spacecraft on a comet.

The decade-long trip was successfully completed with a seven-minute thrust that allowed Rosetta to swing alongside comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

“This is your only chance to have a rendezvous with a comet,” Jean-Jacques Dordain, director-general of the European Space Agency, told scientists and spectators watching the manoeuvr at the mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany.

The goal of the mission is to orbit 67P at a distance of about 100 kilometres (60 miles) and observe the comet as it hurtles toward the sun.

If all goes according to plan, Rosetta will drop the first ever lander onto a comet in November.

Scientists hope this will help them learn more about the origins of comets, stars and planets, said David Southwood, who oversaw the scientific part of the mission until his recent retirement.

“Comets are the stuff of which the solar system was originally made,” he said.

Some scientists have suggested that water, an essential element for the development of life, arrived on Earth from comets.

Plans to bring material extracted from the comet back to Earth were cancelled when NASA pulled out of a joint mission at an early stage, but the U.S. space agency contributed three of the 21 instruments aboard Rosetta and its Philae lander.

Scientists have already made a number of exciting observations even as Rosetta hurtled through space at about 55,000 kph (34,000 mph) — a speed that required three loops around Earth and one around Mars to gain speed.

Recently-released pictures taken by Rosetta show that 67P has an uneven shape that some

have likened to a giant, four-kilometre (2.5-mile) long duck.

This could mean that the comet is made up of two formerly distinct objects, or that it was heavily eroded.

Apart from the unprecedented landing, the probe will also be the first to accompany a comet on its journey toward the sun, when 67P will begin to fizz and release the cloud of dust and ice that most people associate with comets.

“We’re going to have a ringside seat to see, for the first time, a comet turn into a comet, to develop its tail and explain what for centuries mankind has been puzzled by,” Southwood said.

Rosetta is different from NASA’s Deep Impact mission, in which a spacecraft fired a projectile into a comet in 2005 so scientists could study the resulting plume of matter.

NASA also managed to land a probe on an asteroid in 2001, but comets are much more volatile places because they constantly release dust and gas that can harm a spacecraft.

VIENNA, Austria — Even in non-prudish Austria, nudity in public places has its price. A woman faces a fine of up to 1,000 euros ($1,340) for repeated outings in nothing but a pair of white tennis shoes.

Police spokesman Johann Baumschlager says the young woman was stopped by police Tuesday after cycling past officers manning a radar trap on a highway in northeastern Austria.

Baumschlager said Wednesday the woman was identified and told to go home and get dressed. She was also informed she had been charged with disturbing public decency — a misdemeanour that carries a maximum 1,000-euro fine.

She had previously been sighted in the buff while shopping in a supermarket and at a gas station, filling up her car.

The woman was not named in keeping with Austrian privacy laws.

any people ask me what type of stateroom they should book on a cruise. Of course, it comes down to personal preference and budget, but here are some things to consider.

An interior stateroom (no windows) is the least expensive accommodation on the ship. The square footage is the same as an ocean view stateroom. The amenities are the same, and often the decor includes a large lighted mirror to make the cabin appear brighter and bigger. The only downside to this stateroom is that there is no natural light, and you will not be able to check the outside weather or scenery without getting dressed and leaving your room in the morning.

You won’t be watching the sunset or sunrise through your

A premium balcony cabin on the Carnival Spirit splurge, book a minisuite or full suite. Bigger, better, and beautiful!

So how to get a nice stateroom without paying the big bucks? Well, that’s a little trick, called a ‘guarantee’. You pay for a certain category of stateroom and are ‘guaranteed’ to get that category or better for no additional cost.

Guarantees are not offered on all sailings or ships, but many times

they are. You will not have an assigned stateroom until very near to departure, and you have no control over the placement on the ship (forward, midships or aft, or port or starboard side) but if that is okay with you, I have seen some magnificent upgrades in my time!

You can’t pay for the least expensive interior and expect to get a suite, but possibly ocean view to balcony, or balcony to

They’re a bookmark in musical history...they fused a horn section with a rock band and created an entirely new sound.”

Lingaard’s love of Chicago manifests itself onstage at the Key City Theatre on the evening of Saturday, August 16, as his Chicago tribute band “25 Or 6 To 4” faithfully reproduces several hours’ worth of enjoyable high-energy musical thrills from the iconic 1970s band.

“In transcribing and arranging the songs, I spent almost 200 hours scrutinizing every instrument’s every note in every song of theirs we’ve tackled. All that work just increased my respect for them. Peter Cetera is one of the most underrated bassists ever.

I mean, his basslines were ridiculous … so challenging to reproduce. And Terry Kath... again, one of the world’s most under-rated guitarists. Sadly and tragically, he died way too early.”

Originally formed in 1967 as Chicago Transit Authority (and forced to trim down their band name due to the wrath of Chicago city mayor Richard Daley, Chicago quickly gained a regional following for the novelty of including a full big-band horn section into a standard-format

guitar/keyboards-oriented rock band. Beginning with experimental psych/prog adventuring and politically-charged lyrics, Chicago gradually evolved through the 1970s and 1980s into a worldwide radio-friendly phenomenon with hit singles like “Saturday in the Park,” “If You Leave Me Now,” “Hard to Say I’m Sorry,” and “Stay the Night.”

“I’ve waited a few years to tackle this,” Lingard admits. “I wouldn’t have touched this until I’d assembled the perfect cast of characters. If one piece was missing, I would’ve scrapped the project.

I’ve committed the better part of a year preparing for this.”

Lingaard’s fellow musicians for the 25 or 6 to 4 project include Selkirk

College Music Program instructors Melody Diachun (vocals) and Darren Mahe (lead guitar), as well as local keyboard heavyweight Colin Spence and virtuoso drummer Tony Ferraro.

And adding further spice to the band’s extended horn section is Cranbrook’s own trumpet wizard Dave Ward of the Little Jazz Orchestra.

Although primarily assembled for shows in Nelson, the Kaslo Jazz Fest, and the upcoming Cranbrook show, the band is eager to keep the project alive for future musical adventures.

“When I had to pare it down to just 24 songs, divided into only two sets...it killed me!” Lingard bemoans. “I pained over the decision...’how can I lose this tune? I love this tune!’” Having

said that, Lingaard explains that the band’s material will be drawn from Chicago’s earlier (pre-1975) years, up to the material found on their tenth album ‘Chicago 10.’

“So, you will hear the hits: ‘Beginnings,’ ‘Feeling Stronger Every Day,’ ‘Colour My World,’ ‘Make Me Smile,’ and of course ‘25 or 6 to 4.’ But you’ll hear some amazing funky, driving, more esoteric tunes that kick!

Sometimes the meters change every few bars but the tunes are so well-written that they’re fluid and you can’t tell.”

With horn-sections popping up now and again in the pop mainstream (as with the revivalists of ska and Big Band sounds), Lingaard was asked if modern musicians could learn

much from the technically-advanced groups of yesteryear.

“Of course I love guitar-focused bands like Led Zeppelin and Boston, but when I first heard the horn bands, I was in love! Even bands like Aerosmith used horns occasionally! The really great writing comes from bands that live and breathe together; Chicago was a family through thick and thin, and ALWAYS rehearsed.

Even when they partied, they were usually writing and creating. They had a creative bond... and a mission!”

Kootenay-based band ‘25 or 6 to 4’ recreate the thrilling music of Chicago at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre the evening of Saturday August 16; 7:30pm.

With the dry summer weather, wildfire season is again upon us. British Columbia’s Wildfire Management Branch typically responds to 2,000 fires each year. In 10 years, costs have ranged from a low of $47 million in 2006 to a high of $382 million in 2010.

The province has four “Fire Boss” amphibious scoopers that drop water, foam and retardant on a fire. One Fire Boss can scoop up over 3,000 litres of water in under 15 seconds, and be back on its way to the fire in under 30 seconds, buying time for ground crews to begin containing it.

Cranbrook is home to one of BC’s Airtanker bases. Since 2006, this base along with the bases in Penticton, Kamloops, and Williams Lake have been upgraded at a cost of more than $9 million.

Rotary scholarships available for local students in advanced post-secondary studies SUBMIT TED BY CRANBROOK SUNRISE ROTARY CLUB

It may be the dog days of a very hot summer, but fall isn’t far away and the need for local post-secondary students to think about scholarships available for the next school year.

One of the most unique scholarships available is sponsored by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club and it’s only available for students already enrolled in post-secondary studies and needing funds to continue their education.

Applications are due Sept. 1, 2014, with four scholarships available from $1,000 to $1,500 each. Students interested in applying can find an application package on the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary webpage at: p o r t a l . c l u b r u n n e r. ca/926 or they can get more information by phoning club member Alex McLeod at (250) 489-5254.

“We’ve only had a few applications so far, but once we reach August they usually start to pour in so anyone interested in applying should be getting an application in

6th Street North will have no public access for through traffic for the duration of the construction along with a portion of Rotary Way from 4th Street North to 8th Street North. Residents, drivers, pedestrians and cyclists are asked to please find an alternate route around the construction. Crews will do their best to accommodate local traffic wherever possible.

Please follow and obey the signage, barricades and any traffic control personnel for the duration of the construction work.

The City of Cranbrook apologizes for any inconvenience this work may cause and appreciates the cooperation and patience of the residents of 6th Street North and users of Rotary Way as this project moves forward.

to us soon,” McLeod says.

Completed applications can be sent by letter post to: Scholarship Committee, Rotary Club of Cranbrook, Box 765, Cranbrook, B.C., V1C 4J5 or they can be emailed to: alex@silenus.ca and processed from there.

The club usually receives around 40 applications for the scholarships each year.

At least one of the scholarships is awarded to an arts or performing arts student and the recipients must be enrolled in the third, fourth or fifth year of an undergraduate program in a recognized post-secondary institution. Recipients must have graduated from Mt. Baker Secondary School or a Cranbrook area private or home school.

Criteria for the scholarships is equally weighed on academic merit, financial need and community service.

Applicants must submit marks from their most recent two years of post-secondary education.

Sunrise Rotary has offered the unique scholarship program since 1998 and it’s aimed at

students in the latter part of their post-secondary studies for a reason, says McLeod.

“Most scholarships are offered to students entering university for the first time or early in their post-secondary studies. Our program recognizes that students need money for every year of their studies and funds can be harder to get in their later study years,” he says.

Funding for the scholarships comes from Sunrise Rotary’s highly popular Rockies Film Festival which runs every spring and was almost completely sold out this year. “We are very thankful for the support the community shows for the film festival as it allows us to continue to fund these important programs,” McLeod says.

He adds it’s a challenge to get the information out to potential college applicants as not all Cranbrook post-secondary students return to town every summer. “We are hoping that people will assist in getting the word out to any students who qualify and would benefit from the scholarships.”

C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Dean Brody of Jaffray, Tim Hicks and Dallas Smith are among the first performers announced for this year’s Canadian Country Music Association Awards.

Little Big Town will also play the show, to be held in Edmonton and

broadcast on CBC. Brody, originally from Jaffray east of Cranbrook, is the CCMA’s reigning male artist of the year and possesses six nominations heading into the show.

Hicks, meanwhile, is up for four awards, including ``Rising Star’’

honours.

And Smith is nominated in three of the evening’s marquee categories: single, album and male artist of the year.

Singer Jann Arden and TV personality Rick Mercer will host the show Sept. 7.

Daniel Lanois to help launch Uprise.fm, streaming site for live/rare recordings C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canadian producer Daniel Lanois is throwing his support behind the launch of a new streaming service.

Uprise.fm is expected to be available in Canada and the U.S. in 2015.

The new service is dedicated to rare, unique and live recordings owned by artists that aren’t available on other streaming sites.

Lanois is the Hamil-

ton-reared production guru behind wellknown recordings from U2, Bob Dylan and Peter Gabriel.

He will serve as creative director and chief music curator of the service, which was founded by Montrealer Gary Silverman.

In a statement, Lanois said he sees Uprise. fm as a way for artists to get paid for their work while fans get access to otherwise unavailable material.

“It’s time for a streaming service that is centred around and driven by the artist community directly,’’ Lanois said. “Artists are prolific beyond a new recording every two years. They perform, tour, record and collaborate constantly. Uprise.fm will not only make these rare and unique recordings available, we will ensure that the artists are fairly compensated for their work.’’

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 13-year-old boy and can’t talk about this with anyone I know.

My father isn’t in my life. It never mattered because I have the best older brother anyone could ask for. “Tommy” is 21, and he is my hero. He helps me with my homework, teaches me about life, takes me places, protects me and loves me unconditionally.

But here’s the problem. I think I’m in love with him. Is that possible? He’s all I can think about. I’m not gay. I like girls. I have never felt this way about any other guy. Tommy has a girlfriend, and they plan to get married. He’s never done anything to make me think he has other feelings for me, although he’s very affectionate. He gives me hugs and kisses the top of my head.

Is there something seriously wrong with me? Should I tell Tommy how I feel? I really love him with all my heart. -- Little Brother Dear Brother: Thinking you are in love with a sibling is actually not that uncommon. When you are 13 and going through a great many physical and hormonal changes, it is easy to think that the strong, loving feelings you have for Tommy may be romantic in nature. You admire him, appreciate him and want to be close to him. The important thing is to understand that these feelings will be replaced by more appropriate ones as you get older. Until then, you can discuss these feelings with your Mom, your school counselor, your doctor or a trusted adult relative or neighbor.

Dear Annie: Our son married a wonderful girl last fall, and we love her and her parents dearly. There is only one problem. Their eating habits are atrocious.

“Emma” cooks nothing but high-fat, high-sugar food. Her mother cooks the same way. Since marrying, our son has put on a lot of weight, and all of them could lose a few pounds. Her father is having gallbladder issues but refuses to change his diet.

I have offered to help Emma learn new recipes, but she isn’t interested. I love these people and want to help them develop better eating habits, but I don’t want to make them angry by sticking my nose in where it doesn’t belong. How do I help? -- Mom-inLaw Dear Mom-in-Law: Please don’t tell Emma’s parents how to eat. Your intentions are good, but there is no way to do this without sounding as if you are lecturing and criticizing them. The same goes for your daughterin-law. Instead, concentrate on your son.

Surely, he grew up with healthier eating habits and knows the difference. Encourage him to help Emma stay healthy, because this is something that will affect their future children. Then stay out of it.

Dear Annie: You missed the boat with “Maisie’s Mom,” whose daughter won’t let the dog live with them after she promised she could. You admitted that Mom is a victim of a bullying and abusive daughter, but then said she might have to apologize anyway in order to keep seeing her little grandson.

Mom owes NO ONE an apology. She should find a place to live with Maisie and move on. Perhaps when the grandson is older, he will choose to be a part of his grandmother’s life. In the meantime, Mom can volunteer at a school to be with children.

Life is too short. -- Amazed and Appalled Dear Amazed: A great many readers thought “Maisie’s Mom” should keep the dog and cut her daughter and grandchild out of her life. That is her choice, but we know many parents would not think that is a satisfying solution.

As negotiations proceed, assessing the outcome of the Gaza war so far DAN PERRY Associated Press

aug lF go 22 Fun!! !

THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 2014

JERUSALEM — As indirect negotiations proceed in Egypt between Israel and Hamas following the war in Gaza, here is an assessment of the outcome so far of the month-long conflict, assuming the cease-fire holds: ISRAEL — Israel didn’t give in under Hamas rocket fire and certainly won the war on the ground, although that’s hardly an accomplishment for one of the world’s strongest militaries fighting militants with no tanks or airplanes.

Its ``Iron Dome’’ defence system appears to have been a success, destroying most incoming missiles and reducing the rocket threat to an annoyance. It says it destroyed all of Hamas’ 31 attack tunnels burrowed into Israel. Several dozen Israeli soldiers and three of its civilians were killed. If the Palestinian Authority returns to Gaza, Israeli leaders will be pleased. Still, it has not stamped out the rocket threat — Hamas has hundreds left. Even worse, its international image has taken a beating because of the civilian devastation it caused in Gaza, and a war crimes investigation is not out of the question.

HAMAS — The militants were massively outmatched and fired substantial rockets at Israel’s main cities for a month — something not seen since Iraq’s Saddam Hussein unleashed Scuds during the first Gulf War. Hamas is part of the discourse again, after a period of feeling isolated and abandoned; now it is invited to Egypt for talks and it is possible it can take credit if the crippling blockade of Gaza is eased. But the group lost hundreds of fighters and failed in most of its efforts to infiltrate Israel. Its tunnels, built surreptitiously over years with amazing ingenuity and effort, were destroyed by Israel. Its rocket supply has been badly deplet-

ed. And if the Palestinian Authority reasserts itself in Gaza, Hamas will lose a share of power.

——— PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY — President Mahmoud Abbas appears to be on the verge of regaining some measure of control in Gaza, rolling back his undignified exit of 2007 when Hamas seized control of Gaza. The talk now is of the Palestinian Authority in general resuming some activity in Gaza, especially in running a reopened border with Egypt and administering a massive foreign aid and reconstruction project that might be conjured up by world donors. Compared to Hamas, Abbas looks like a dependable and level-headed player on the regional and world stage. So great will be the global relief at any rolling back of Hamas rule in Gaza that no one will pester Abbas about the fact that his actual term as elected president ran out years ago.

EGYPT — From early in the conflict, it was clear Egypt would be a major player because of its control of the Rafah border as well as being a negotiator that both sides seemed to distrust the least.

Egypt’s first cease-fire deal — under which Hamas ended rocket fire and Israel halted airstrikes before talks could begin — was rejected by Hamas. After more than two weeks of mayhem and ineffectual mediation by others, that same formula essentially took hold. That bolstered President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi’s reputation as a man who does not flinch. The emergence of Cairo as an indispensable capital is good news for Egyptians and could hasten the subterranean manoeuvring for a regional aid package for them as well.

THE UNITED STATES — Washington is pleased the fighting has stopped, although Secretary of State John Kerry shuttled

around the region for days and got nowhere. He was widely vilified in Israel for straying from the original Egyptian proposal to try to entice Hamas to stop firing rockets. The U.S. has sent an official to the Cairo talks but seems to not be an active participant, almost unwanted. The Obama administration is now distrusted by Hamas, the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egypt’s al-Sissi — bringing that trio into rare agreement.

QATAR AND TURKEY — Both countries backed Hamas, tried to negotiate, but got nowhere. That’s a failure for two countries that in different ways are seeking to carve out a leading role in the region, and both are at loggerheads with the new government in Egypt.

Any failure for Hamas is also a blow to Qatar, which at this point is the main backer of the militant group and hosts its leader, Khaled Mashaal.

THE PEOPLE OF GAZA — The devastation in Gaza is staggering.

Nearly 1,900 Palestinians — mostly civilians, including 400 children, Palestinian officials say — died since the conflict began July 8, according to Palestinian officials. Many more were wounded.

About 250,000 have been internally displaced. About 10,000 buildings were destroyed. Early estimates of basic reconstruction are about $6 billion. Many in Gaza may be unhappy with Hamas’ heavy-handed rule but still supported the rocket fire on Israel despite the destruction it brought on, hoping it resulted in an end to the blockade. They may get some improvements in their quality of life if the blockade is eased — but truly open borders, which would transform the place, are unlikely anytime soon. And some would note that the blockade only came about because Hamas took over Gaza in the first place.

The Audubon Society is asking bird lovers to help in its reserch to save Atlantic puffins from starvation.

Scientists want bird-ogling public to help with research ASSOCIATED PRESS

EASTERN EGG ROCK, Maine — The Audubon Society wants bird lovers to contribute research to a project scientists hope will help save Atlantic puffins from starvation in Maine.

There are about 1,000 pairs of the seabirds, known for their multi-colored beaks and clownish appearance, in Maine. Audubon says the number of puffin fledging chicks has declined in the last two years, possibly because their key food source, herring and hake, are leaving for cooler waters. Puffins are on the state’s threatened species list.

Audubon maintains three web cameras on Seal Island, a National Wildlife Refuge in outer Penobscot

Bay, one of the key puffin habitats in Maine. Volunteers are being asked to watch the puffins and answer questions about their feeding behaviour, said Steve Kress, director of the National Audubon Society’s seabird restoration program.

From 2007-2011, Kress said that 77 per cent of puffin pairs on Seal Island produced fledglings, or birds that are able to fly. The number declined to 31 per cent in 2012 and 10 per cent in 2013. While 2014 “appears to be better,” he said, it’s too early to tell.

“This is a citizen science project, hoping to advance the science as well as entertain the viewers,” Kress said. “There are some questions that can be better answered through lots of people viewing.”

Almost all of Maine’s puffin population nests on three islands — Matinicus Rock, Eastern Egg Rock, and Seal Island. Kress and others believe the decline in fledged puffin chicks is tied to rising water temperatures in the Gulf of Maine.

The puffins are left to try to eat butterfish, a species more available as herring and hake — key food species for puffins — seek colder waters, Kress said. Scientists say surface temperatures of the waters in the Gulf of Maine have increased slightly each year since 1982, but the pace increased after 2004.

With fewer herring and hake, puffins have been giving their young butterfish, but those fish are too big for puffin chicks to eat, and

many of the birds starve and die.

That’s what happened to Petey, the puffin chick the 2012 camera focused on.

Two of Audubon’s cameras focus on the rocky areas where puffins roost. Another is inside a burrow, providing a close-up view of a fuzzy puffin chick.

Last year’s featured puffin chick, Hope, survived. This year’s chick, Pal, hatched around June 25.

Audubon is asking web camera watchers to observe Pal and answer a survey about what kind of fish his parents feed him, including how many and when. The web cameras have attracted more than 4 million views since 2012, and more than 1,000 people have completed Audubon surveys.

Explore.org, a Los Angeles-based non-profit group that runs dozens of wildlife web cameras around the world, installed the cameras and is partnering with Audubon. Explore.org founder Charles Annenberg said the project is about “making science fun again.”

Kress said the information gathered by puffin watchers will be included in published papers. The goal is to document how much food it takes for puffin chicks to fledge, he said.

Puffins, which spend most of their lives at sea, breed in the spring before returning to the ocean in early August. The chicks go to sea after their parents feed them for about 40 days.

Human activity has doubled or tripled levels of mercury in oceans ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Levels of the metal mercury in much of the world’s oceans are double to triple what they were before the industrial revolution, a new study says.

Researchers found there’s more mercury from human sources — mostly burning fossil fuels and mining for gold — than scientists had thought.

The study assessed inorganic mercury, which in the ocean gets converted into the toxic methylmercury found in seafood. When pregnant women, nursing mothers and young children eat too much methylmercury-tainted seafood, there’s an increased risk of nervous system problems in the developing child.

The new results don’t provide any immediate conclusions about eating fish, says Carl Lamborg of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. His study is published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

“Everywhere on the planet is contaminated with mercury to some extent,” he said.

His study found that mercury concentration varied by depth, generally higher at the surface and mid-level depths than in deep water. But in the North Atlantic, high concentrations reached even deeper than 3,300 feet.

In general, mercury levels between the surface and 330 feet deep were more than triple pre-industrial times levels, Lamborg said. Between 330 and 3,300 feet deep, they were about 150 per cent greater than the levels from more than a century ago. But they were only about 10 per cent higher at depths greater than 3,300 feet, except for the North Atlantic.

Nearly two-thirds of the world’s ocean mercury from man-made sources is in water that’s shallower than 3,300 feet, the study found.

The study is important and will help scientists eventually understand how mercury gets into the marine food chain and us, said University of Michigan Earth sciences professor Joel Blum, who wasn’t part of the study.

Butterscotch the cat has survived for the past few weeks with a bird feeder on its head. Part of the feeder fell off allowing the elusive cat to eat and drink.

Cat stuck in bird feeder gains bit of freedom; part of contraption falls off C ANADIAN PRESS

BRANDON, Man. — A cat that has been roaming around with a bird feeder stuck on its head has gained a bit of freedom.

It appears some of the feeder has fallen off and the cat named Butterscotch can now eat and drink.

“We believe it is a free-roaming cat with no home, but we have not been able to check for identification yet,”

said Toni Gramiak, spokeswoman for an animal rescue group in Brandon, Man. “Clearly it has nowhere to go right now or it would have returned home to get the contraption off.”

The cat’s predicament was first spotted July 23 and the Brandon and Area Lost Animals group has been trying to capture the kitty ever since.

There have been complications,

however, because someone has been destroying traps that volunteers have been baiting with tuna and other tasty cat treats to try to lure Butterscotch.

Gramiak believes the perpetrator may be following social media to get an idea of where the cat has been seen and where traps may be set up.

She is asking that anyone who sees Butterscotch refrain from posting the location on the Internet.
