Watch out for storm chasing fraudsters Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The summer season of powerful storms wreaking destruction and causing property damage is upon us and it’s important to keep yourself protected from those hoping to make a quick buck off your misfortune. In Cranbrook,

the storms comes as not only wind storms like the one back in July, but thunderstorms with rain and floods, and even forest fires.

Some nearby communities in Alberta recently suffered several damaging hail storms, one of which was in Airdrie, and out of that

the Better Business Bureau is putting out a warning encouraging home owners to careful when it comes time to hire disaster recovery and repair contractors.

“Scammers tend to come out of the woodwork after a weather disaster to capitalize on the fact that people are

vulnerable,” said Sandra Crozier-McKee, who is president and CEO of BBB Serving Southern Alberta and the East Kootenay.

Crozier-McKee said that while residents are anxious to repair damage to their homes and vehicles, they should take the time to ensure

Exciting upcoming season at the Key City Theatre

they’re not dealing with a storm chaser.

Crozier-McKee said the storm chasers are generally out-of-town contractors who show up after a disaster. They walk door-to-door offering great deals on recovery efforts, take deposits from unwitting homeowners and then leave town — most often without completing any work at all.

Crozier-McKee offered the following tips to help avoid the storm chasers: • Do your research.

Check BBB before you hire a contractor and

avoid businesses who come to your door with a “good deal.” Check out our online BBB Business Reviews to see ratings and business history records.

• Get it in writing. Request bids from three different contractors that include costs, timelines and warranty information. Remember, the lowest bid doesn’t guarantee the best deal.

• Check licensing and credentials.

• Check with your municipality to determine if inspections, permits or licensing is required. Contact Ser-

vice Alberta for information on required provincial licensing. If the contractor can’t prove his qualifications, walk away.

• Beware of upfront fees. If a contractor or repairman request full payment upfront, it could be a red flag.

• Ask about insurance. Although contractors are not required by law to carry liability insurance, it could mean you could be liable for damage to you or your neighbour’s property.

Also find out what your homeowner’s insurance will and won’t cover.

Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The Key City Theatre has an exciting season ahead with some returning acts and some brand new ones.

“We’re very excited to present this fantastic lineup for our 2014-2015 season,” said Sioban Staplin, in charge of marketing at the theatre.

“We have a wide variety of genres, anywhere from classical chamber style to Celtic and classic rock with Eric Burdon and the Animals (April 16), and then we have the Irish Rovers (March 1) and our new artist showcase, featuring Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra (May 14).”

French Canadian musicians, Le Vent du Nord (Feb. 10), will be coming, as well as the Barra MacNeils, who have been in Cranbrook before. Then there are the Irish Rovers and Rivka Golani (March 25). Golani, who is listed as one of the top 100 musicians in the world

by BBC Music magazine, will be playing with seven other of the top classical musicians in Canada as they perform the classics of the “octet” from Schubert to Beethoven.

Staplin called John Reischman and The Jaybirds (Oct. 18) some of the finest acoustic Blugrass roots musicians you may ever hear.

“We have other great acts that we’re just now adding,” she said. “We have a little preview to our season with Lisa Brokop (Sept. 4), so we

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adopting “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3806, 2014”.

The purpose of the proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment is to add additional retail trade uses of a neighbourhood scale to the C-3, Neighbourhood Commercial Zone in “Cranbrook Zoning Bylaw No. 3737, 2012”. The additional new uses are as follows:

John Reischman and The Jaybirds are playing the Key City Theatre Oct. 18. have a little country in our program.”

Brokop is a recent addition, so unfortunately her concert is not part of the regular season subscription, Staplin said. But she added that they have the flexibility to accommodate acts like that on their way through the Kootenays.

“That’s the thing, if somebody’s coming through, we know we have a great audience for them to definitely bring them in,” she said.

Later in the season the Key City will be hosting Banff Mountain Film Festival.

Then there are the plays that Mount Baker students and staff put on throughout the season.

“We hope to be presenting more theatre and drama and musical theatre outside of our regular program,” she said.

There are some other things coming down the line, but they are still wrapped in a veil of secrecy. She did however hint that Colin James

has been confirmed as on of those acts.

Current subscribers can purchase tickets from Aug. 18 - 31, members from Sept. 1 - 14, and general public can purchase single tickets starting Sept. 15.

Eric Burdon and the Animals are playing the Key City Theatre April 16, 2015.

Major sponsor for the season is Western Financial Group, along with Northstar GM. “We have a brand new website,” she said.

All of the season artists and artists that they are bringing in have a video on their performers video page.

“We have a whole host of artists that peo-

ple may not have heard,” she said. “I think they will agree that all of these performers are absolutely worthwhile.

That’s part of Key City’s mandate is to bring in artists that people may not have heard of but if you give them a listen they are well worth your time.”

They are co-presenting the wonderful children’s show Max and Ruby. So children’s programming is certainly going to be a part of our season.

And of course they are looking for ward to welcoming the Symphony of the Kootenays, which have another great season lined up.

The Key City Theatre also recently announced that former managing director Gerard Gibb is no longer with the theatre.

“Gerard has accepted a wonderful position at a theatre in Sheraton, Wyoming,” she said.

They are working on finding a replacement.

For more information go to www.keycitytheatre.com.

• Shoe, apparel/clothing store • Food and beverage store • Gift, novelty and souvenir store • Photography studio/store • Book store • Hobby / craft store • Music store In addition to the new uses, a regulation restricting the size of the retail trade uses to a maximum of 200.0 m2 of gross floor area is being proposed.

Long-time Kimberley Mayor honoured C A R O LYN G R A N T Daily Bulletin

A nice-sized crowd of well-wishers attended at brief ceremony on Friday morning to see 312 Street between Maryville and Kimberley officially renamed Jim Ogilvie Way. “It’s great to see such a wonderful turnout and it’s my privilege as mayor to honour Jim Ogilvie,” said Mayor Ron McRae. McRae spoke briefly on Mayor Jim’s significance to Kimberley and then turned the mike over to the man himself.

“I am really pleased to be here and see so many folks show up,” Ogilvie said. “It’s ironic that when I first started on Council in 1965, one of my first jobs was working on paving the Marysville Highway.”

Ogilvie recounted being elected and then told by the council of the day that voters would never approve the spending of money to pave the road.

“People won’t stand for it, they said. I packed a petition around town

myself and got all the residents to sign it and agree to pay extra to pave the road.

“Ever since that day I’ve been wrestling with pavement. Now it’s Ron’s job.”

Ogilvie said that through the years Kimberley Council did a lot of things that other towns didn’t have to do.

It wasn’t thinking out of the box, he said, so much as taking advantage of opportunities to do things that needed to be done.

“That’s why we expanded golf courses and saved the ski resort.

I see all kinds of people here today who stood by us through all those projects.

“Those projects were well thought out, they had a good solid basis. We knew what we were doing. We knew exactly how much we should pay for that resort and still make money. I negotiated with the bankers for six months. Finally they said, ‘you’re not going to move are you?’.”

Ogilvie said he was proud to have contrib-

“Our community will be here forever and

I get a nice road named after me.”

Mayor McRae also presented flowers to

Gail Ogilvie.

“All through those many years, my wife was there,” Mayor Jim

said. “She put the proper clothes on me, colour coordinated me, made sure I got a hair-

cut and did all the things that made me presentable to the community.”

RDCK suing Teck over HB mine contamination Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star

The Regional District of Central Kootenay has launched a lawsuit against Teck Resources Ltd. over contamination from a tailings pond near Salmo.

According to a statement of claim filed late

last month with the BC Supreme Court in Vancouver, the regional district wants reimbursement for ongoing remediation work on the old HB mine site, which it bought for landfill purposes in 1998.

Teck, formerly Cominco, owned the property from 1955 to 1981 and operated the mine until 1978. The regional district says the contamination consists of lead, zinc, cadmium, and arsenic and that “numerous” tailings releases occurred while the mine operated.

It also cited a 2007 incident in which flows from the tailings pond spread to a nearby property. In July 2012, heavy rain caused a sinkhole to form on the pond’s earthen dam. The regional district spent more than $800,000 sta-

bilizing and reconstructing the dam, which it billed to the province.

It claims Teck “failed to take any steps … to prevent the migration of the contamination off of the property to the offsite areas” while the RDCK continues to incur costs for remediation.

It says that work includes building an engineered wetland to treat surface water, groundwater monitoring, and completion of a containment berm to prevent leaching. However, it’s not clear from the statement of claim exactly how much taxpayers have been on the hook for.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

RDCK chair John Kettle said the lawsuit was filed only after “making

Now the Regional District of Central Kootenay is going after Teck Resources to pay for ongoing remediation. every effort” to convince Teck the materials in the tailings pond are their responsibility, even

though the company has not owned the property for more than 30 years.

“We believe when

you create an environmental hazard like that, you can’t just sell it and walk away,” he said.

“You’re liable for clean up. We intend to pursue that as aggressively as possible. Their belief that caveat emptor applies is asinine.”

Teck said it had yet to receive the statement of claim, but in a written statement the company said it has a “long history” of working collaboratively with communities, including regional districts, municipalities and indigenous people.

“We will review the claim with counsel and we intend to respond in due course,” the company said.

At the time of the tailings dam problem in 2012, CBC News reported that the regional district paid $650,000 more for the site than the previous owner, a Panamanian company that purchased it only a year earlier.

The lawsuit comes as a tailings pond at the Mount Polley mine southeast of Quesnel was breached this week, preventing hundreds from using their water.

Internal medicine

We felt it was important to clarify the status of renal (kidney) and internal medicine services for the East Kootenay following your July 31 article “The grim reality of Cranbrook’s doctor shortage.”

Specifically, we wanted to assure the community that Dr. Karen Bronn continues to work at East Kootenay Regional Hospital as an internal medicine specialist and will remain at EKRH in a permanent position until October. We thank her for her continued service to the community.

While Dr. Bronn’s primary role is to support critical patients in our ICU, we are fortunate that she has a sub-specialty in renal care and has been supporting the Kootenay Renal Program by helping patients awaiting kidney transplant or those individuals who are pre-dialysis.

Interior Health is currently recruiting for a new internal medicine specialist for Cranbrook, but internist subspecialties vary and there is no guarantee a new internist will specialize in kidney care. However, Interior Health is committed to providing residents of the East Kootenay with access to this specialty service.

We will be working closely with Dr. Bronn prior to her departure to ensure all renal patients are identified for the two

nephrologists (kidney specialists) who support the Kootenay Renal Program from the regional unit in Trail. One of our other internists who also has training in renal care, Dr. Errin Sawatsky, will also be supporting Dr. Bronn’s patients moving forward.

To minimize travel for renal patients, the renal program takes advantage of Telehealth technology whenever possible. In addition, the nephrologists come to community renal units in the East Kootenay twice a year, and, with our renal team of specialized staff, see patients closer to home.

We also recognize that finding a family physician is a challenge right now. Interior Health continues to participate in the Cranbrook Supply Task Force recruitment group that is dedicated to finding new family physicians for the community.

JulyFest Soccer

I very much appreciated Mike Guarnery mentioning some events and recognizing the volunteers who made Julyfest a suc-

cess. Unfortunately Mike neglected to mention the largest soccer tournament in Western Canada and its organizers, Simon Davidson and Terry Ross.

This year, sixty teams participated in the tournament. All but a few are from outside the Kimberley Cranbrook area.

Each team consists of 15-20 players, many of whom bring their families. There were close to 50 officials, again mostly from outside our area. The visitors easily numbered over 1500, all spending money in our community.

The bocce tournament is a great event.

This year, it had 210 teams of 4-5 people.

But since many participants are from our area, the economic impact is not as significant. The soccer tournament also does not require hours of City staff time beyond mowing the fields. Also, Simon and Terry run the tournament from start to finish, so few other volunteers are necessary.

The Julyfest soccer tournament is an amazingly well organized event that keeps the same teams coming back. Kimberley should be proud of this event and appreciative of the contribution made by these two gentlemen year after year.

Finding spiritual hungers in strange places

I

’ve just come back from a vacation with than the many distractions of this life. In my daughter. We went to San Francis- other words, Lent is a detox program. We co, and then drove home up the Ore- set ourselves free and focus on our truer gon coast. In many ways, being near the and deeper selves.

Granted, for some people, Lent has ocean is a spiritual moment for me. Celtic spirituality calls this a “thin place”, where become a bit of a punch line: “What are the veil between this world and the next you giving up for Lent?” “I’m giving up world is thin, diaphanous, and we get a church for Lent.” But at its heart, in Lent we cut through all the distractions in our taste of eternity.

Bruce Cockburn captures this sense lives and seek for a deeper, truer reality. when he sings, “Sun’s up, uh huh, looks We seek to delve beneath the surface and find a more true life. okay the world survives And I couldn’t help but into another day and I’m wonder if somehow the thinking about eternity, Today show is tapping into some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me.” In thin places, Rev. Yme that kind of hunger in the North American public. eternity and ecstasy are Woensdregt Hmmmm. linked.

The second thing was a On vacation, I noticed a few things that caused me to step back conversation with a man in a shop along and reflect on the human hunger for a the Oregon coast. I was the only one in spiritual connection, things that made me the shop and he asked me what I did. “I’m an Anglican priest,” I said. He told me he say, “Hmmmm.”

The first, oddly enough, was the was Buddhist, and that he was married to “Today” show. Now, I don’t normally a woman who was what he called “convewatch the show, but my daughter would nient Orthodox.” With a small smile, he turn on the television as we woke up and said, “We don’t talk about religion much.”

We kept on talking, and I asked how he got ready for the day. This particular morning, they were talking about some- came to be a Buddhist 40 years ago. “I was thing they called the “30–day detox”. At in Vietnam,” he said, “and I came back a first, I thought it was another diet fad. But mess. You don’t go to war like that and as they continued, they mentioned that come home whole. I got uglier and uglier, the focus of this detox was to do without and then I turned to martial arts and something—anything—for 30 days: salt, found Zen. The rest is history.”

We talked more, and he told me that sugar, Coke, electronics, saying negative the most important thing he had learned things about yourself, and so on.

What they were talking about—is Lent. was that we are spiritual beings, and that The purpose of Lent is to deny ourselves without a spiritual centre—no matter something for a season so that we can how we name that centre—we are nothfocus on more important things rather ing. He was a little surprised when I

agreed with him. “My wife says it has to be her God,” he said, “so I don’t say anything to her.”

And I told him that we might name our spiritual centres differently, but I believe we are all talking about the same reality.

Our names for that reality don’t really matter much.

It was one of those wonderful conversations I won’t soon forget. There was a spiritual connection made in that small shop. Hmmmmm.

The final thing I will mention came as we drove through the redwood forests in northern California. These are lands that belonged to the Yurok people. I had never heard of them before. At one information centre, I learned that they adopted a new Constitution in 1993. The Preamble begins, “Our people have always lived on this sacred and wondrous land… since the Creator placed us here. From the beginning, we have followed all the laws of the Creator, which became the whole fabric of our tribal sovereignty.”

The Constitution continues by noting that the Yurok people have always lived in harmony with “the deep river, the tall redwood trees, the rocks, the mounds, and the trails.” Today, the Yurok people are reconnecting with their past, and honouring a spirituality in which we all live in an indivisible web of life with all creatures.

Hmmmm.

There are indeed deep spiritual hungers. It’s a good thing.

A park for the parkers C

A R N E P E T RYS H E N

anada’s adherence to a car culture has been in the news of late, after two Danish tourists wrote a letter about their traffic-congested vacation to Canada.

“Apart from these people, who sincerely do your nation credit, our overwhelming memory of Canada is one of cars, traffic, parking and the related obesity and unfulfilled communities,” wrote Holly Chabowski, from Denmark.

The letter was sent to the country’s major news organizations and Canadian politicians, including federal transport minister Lisa Raitt and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Soon the internet got a hold of it and it went viral.

Chabowski and her girlfriend spent five weeks in Canada before deciding that it didn’t live up to the impression of a clean, healthy and sustainable first world country. Instead they found the cities of Toronto, Montreal, Quesbec City, Ottawa and Halifax to be dirty and noisy with the smog of exhaust pipes and the honking of horns.

In Halifax they noted the amount of land in the city centre given to parking.

“Ginormous Swaths of prime locations for living (parks, shops, cafés, market squares, theatres, playing fields etc — human activities which are key to quality of life) concreted over as homes for an ever increasing number of SUVs.” In fact, they said the most SUVs they saw in a row was at a Tim Hortons drivethrough.

They said that as they explored further

into the backroads of eastern Canada, they tried to console themselves that at least a few cities were making an effort to life more pleasant for the inhabitants.

However they felt it was more of a token gesture rather than a genuine effort to make Canada a healthy, happy and sustainable country.

“Pedestrians were squeezed onto narrow pavements and forced to stop every 100m to cross the road, bike lanes were little more than paint on the ground for the cyclists to help protect the parked cars lining every street,” she wrote.

Chabowski said she wrote the letter to appeal for radical steps to transform Canada into healthy, happy and sustainable country they were expecting.

“When tourists visit Canada make sure they remember it for its parks rather than parking,” she wrote.

Chobowski makes valid points about Canada’s car culture, especially when compared to Europe. The point about lack of transportation could be emphasized even more on this side of the country, where travelling from one rural area to another is dependent on either greyhounds or hitchhiking. Of course we find other ways to get places — for instance, if the city or town you are trying to get to is conveniently down river, then simply hop on a barge, boat or floating log, and sit back and relax. Remember to check for waterfalls before you are in the water.

Another option is a good old fashioned trek. Chabowski notes that she only saw parking, rather than parks, so why not strap a pack to your mule and take the

route as the crow flies. If you follow the long and winding road to Calgary it will ring you in at a whooping 384 kilometres, but if you take the direct route, get this, it’s only 210 kilometres. I don’t know about you, but the next time I’m going to Calgary, I’m saving myself the trouble of travelling all those extra kilometres.

Now of course, one of Chabowski’s main complaints has to do with a real lack of infrastructure in the realm of public transportation, but coming from Denmark, she may be missing an obvious form of passenger travel. Of course, this one is a bit more dangerous and takes some crafty timing, but in resource rich B.C. there’s always a freight train to hop.

Sure it may not have the luxuries that Danish trains have, such as washrooms, sandwiches and safety, but it does make up for that with old fashioned rustic charm and nostalgic romanticism. Nothing will help you get the feel of the working man or woman of Canada’s past, present and future than coming off that train with a thick, greasy layer of coal dust or tar sands caked onto your skin, and ordering a beer at the local tavern.

Never mind the clean streets of the capital of Ottawa, or the sprawling metropolis that is Toronto, the real experiences of Canada are found in the far flung places, off the interstate and in the backwoods of Canada. In those places all I see is the parks and not one single parking lot.

‘Definition of home’ Rob & Scott Niedermayer continue giving back TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

Tsonga triumphs at Rogers Cup GREGORY STRONG Canadian Press

TORONTO — Jo-Wilfried Tsonga defeated Roger Federer 7-5, 7-6 (3) to win the Rogers Cup men’s singles title on Sunday afternoon at Rexall Centre.

It was the fourth straight victory over a top-10 opponent for the

Frenchman, who beat top-seeded Novak Djokovic, eighth-seeded Andy Murray and seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov en route to the final.

Federer, the No. 2 seed from Switzerland, made several uncharacteristic errors and had a hard time with Tsonga’s

powerful serve and ground strokes. It was the second career Masters 1000 Series win for the 13th-seeded Tsonga and his first victory at this event.

It was also his first ATP title of the season and 11th of his career.

Federer, who has 79 career wins and is a 17-

time Grand Slam champion, fell to 2-5 in finals this season.

Earlier, Bruno Soares of Brazil and Alexander Peya of Austria successfully defended their doubles title with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Marcelo Melo of Brazil.

Radwanska wins women’s title C ANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Agnieszka Radwanska defeated Venus Williams 6-4, 6-2 to win the US$2.44 million women’s Rogers Cup on Sunday.

The third-seeded Radwanska, the first Rogers Cup champion from Poland, picked up her first tournament win of the year and the $441,000 winner’s prize.

The 34-year-old Williams earned $220,000.

The 25-year-old Radwanska used her relent-

less baseline game to dominate a tired-looking Williams, who was coming off an emotional, three-set victory over her top-ranked sister Serena Williams in a semifinal on Saturday.

The Krakow, Poland native shot off to a 4-1 lead, but Venus Williams answered with a break that had the centre court crowd on its feet as Radwanska hit a drop shot, Williams dropped back, Radwanska hit a lob and Williams got back in time to win the point

with a cross-court smash.

Radwanska, ranked fifth in the world to Williams’ 26th, posted her first Rogers Cup win after twice reaching the semifinals. It was her first tournament victory since 2013 at Seoul.

Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam winner, had an excellent week that will put her back into the world top20. It included wins over sixth-seeded Angelique Kerber and 14th-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro.

She fell short in her bid to become the event’s oldest champion after Martina Navratilova, who won 52 days short of her 33rd birthday in 1989.

Organizers announced the tournament drew 181,996 spectators, topping the previous high of 175,000.

Sales were boosted by the recent success of Eugenie Bouchard, but the Westmont, Que., native lost her first match on Tuesday to Shelby Rogers.

NASCAR champion Tony Stewart hits, kills driver JOHN KEKIS & JOHN WAWROW Associated Press

C A N A N D A I G UA , N.Y. — Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart struck and killed a sprint car driver who had climbed from his car

and was on the darkened dirt track trying to confront Stewart during a race in upstate New York on Saturday night.

Kevin Ward Jr. had crashed following contact with Stewart one lap earlier and got out of his

car as it was stopped along the fence. Video of the incident showed Ward walking from his crashed car onto the racing surface as cars circled by, and, as he gestured at Stewart’s passing car, he was struck.

Authorities questioned Stewart but said no criminal charges were imminent.

Stewart travelled to Watkins Glen International following the incident but withdrew from the NASCAR event.

Scott and Rob Niedermayer sit side-by-side at a table in Western Financial Place awaiting a long line of excited young hockey players and adoring fans.

For hours on a sunny Friday afternoon in August, they sit at that same table, signing autograph after autograph; taking photo after photo. It’s repetitive and monotonous, yet the two brothers sign every hat, photo, hockey stick and sweater that is passed their way.

It’s a small gesture for two former National Hockey League stars, but the weight it carries with each starstruck child is immeasurable.

It also happens to exemplify just how much the Cranbrook community means to the Niedermayer brothers.

“The community itself, where we grew up, we had some great hockey coaches, soccer coaches, teachers and just so many people involved in your childhood growing up,” Scott said during a brief lull in the autograph line. “You combine all that together and I guess that’s the definition of home.”

While Scott returns to Cranbrook during the summer months between his regular duties

as an assistant coach with the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks, Rob has made Cranbrook his permanent home since retiring from the game of professional hockey at the conclusion of the 2011-12 season.

Being back in Cranbrook has allowed Rob to keep closer eye on the Niedermayer Family Fund, an initiative the brothers kickstarted in 2012.

The brothers worked together on the ice with the Anaheim Ducks, helping to champion the Southern California club to a Stanley Cup championship in 2007.

Now, retired from the game, they’re hoping to champion a variety of off-ice challenges at home in Southern B.C. through the Niedermayer Family Fund.

“We grew up here and we know how good this community was to us,” Rob said Friday afternoon. “It was always something we had in mind to start. It was just something we thought we could give back and help the community.”

The fund, which is administered through the Cranbrook & District Community Foundation (CDCF), contributes charitable donations annually to a variety of local organizations. With the assistance of the

CDCF, the Niedermayers select causes they want to contribute to each year, allowing them flexibility and ensuring they can help in a variety of areas within the Cranbrook community.

Though they continue to work together outside the game of hockey, both Rob and Scott laughed when asked if there was a future in the game featuring the two of them together in an off-ice capacity.

“It was easy on the ice,” Scott said with a laugh. “Neither of us was in charge. The coach was in charge, we just went out and did our job.

That’s an interesting question. I don’t know if we have a good synergy or not. Who knows. Anything is possible.”

“We both love hockey, it’s done a lot for both of us,” Rob added. “We’re blessed to be where we are. Who knows what the future may hold. We’re too young to not do something.”

In the meantime, Rob and Scott Niedermayer will continue to put on their hockey school; they’ll continue to sign autographs for fans; and they’ll continue to give back through the Niedermayer Family Fund.

Best of all, they will continue to do it right here at home in Cranbrook.

Former Ice signs with Orlando Solar Bears TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears have signed former Kootenay Ice forward Brock Montgomery.

Montgomery spent four full seasons in Cranbrook with the Ice, amassing 65 goals and 119 points in 243 games from 2009 through 2013.

The 6-foot-1 native of Moose Jaw, Sask. signed with the Solar Bears July 29 after splitting the 2013-14 season between the American League’s Texas Stars and ECHL’s Idaho Steelheads. In his first professional season, Montgomery posted nine goals and 24

points in 45 games with the Steelheads, while going pointless in nine contests with the Stars.

The Orlando Solar Bears are the ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs and AHL’s Toronto Marlies.

The team will host

the 2015 CCM/ECHL All-Star Classic on Jan. 21, 2015.

The Solar Bears played in the now-defunct International Hockey League from 1995 through 2001 before joining the ECHL for the 2012-13 season.

Rhymes with Orange

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am the mother of a biracial child. My son’s father, “Derek,” and I are not currently together, as he resides some distance away, but we visit often so Derek and our son can have a relationship. Ultimately, we would like to be together.

The problem is my father. He is not, and never has been, a fan of interracial dating.

Over the past five years, he has come to accept his grandson, but on more than one occasion, he has expressed his “disgust” and “disapproval” of the relationship I have with Derek, even using the “n” word. I have zero tolerance for this. My father doesn’t have to like Derek, and I’ve never tried to force a relationship between them. But he needs to respect that I’m an adult, and regardless of whether Derek and I are together, I am going to encourage him to have a healthy relationship with our son.

How do I get my father to understand this and, in the meantime, allow him to have a relationship with his grandchild when he harbors such ignorance and animosity? -Stuck Dear Stuck: Hopefully, your father’s attitude will become more enlightened the more attached he becomes to his grandson.

Nonetheless, the way to deal with Dad is to set boundaries. Do not permit him to denigrate Derek in front of your child or you. If he does so, leave the premises immediately, not in anger, but out of necessity, saying, “Sorry, Dad, but I will not tolerate such remarks.” Be consistent and firm. You can train Dad how to behave whether he agrees or not.

Dear Annie: I have three grandchildren, two of whom seem to love me and want to spend time with me. But my son’s daughter recently graduated middle school, and I wasn’t invited. She said she thought I might embarrass her.

The reason for this is because I say things like, “Please be careful if you are going somewhere I feel may not be safe.” She thinks I’m being racist, because some of those areas are inner-city neighborhoods. I mean no disrespect by this, but still would not go to an undesirable part of town at night regardless of who lives there.

I also told my grandkids that I would give them $5,000 if they graduated high school with all Bs or better. Unfortunately, the two older kids didn’t make it, but the youngest one is very bright and on track. But I now plan on revoking that offer because I’m not sure I want to spend so much money on a child who doesn’t welcome me at her graduation. Am I justified or not? -- California Grandma Dear Grandma: It’s your money. You can do whatever you like with it. And she should have invited you to her graduation. But while we know you are concerned and caring, you also sound rather controlling. Is the gift for grades or behavior? Will you change it every time she does something you don’t like? And you mean well, but protecting her from unsafe areas is her parents’ job. Your warnings are likely what she hears from her folks all the time, so you are coming across as a scold. She’s 13 and in full teenage mode.

You’ll get better results if you back off.

Dear Annie: “Old Friend” didn’t indicate whether she missed the funeral out of choice or due to lack of information. She said she had not been in touch with the deceased in months.

This past year, I missed the funeral of a dear friend’s mother. We always sat together at family dinners, and my lack of presence was noted. But the reason I didn’t attend is that when calls were made regarding the funeral, I was inadvertently left off the list.

It was an oversight. I would have been there had I known. The family felt sad that I missed it, but they were not critical. -- S.

Local NEWS

Mine spill ‘unlikely’ to harm spawning sockeye Threat to fry rearing in Quesnel Lake is murkier J eff Nagel Black Press

The Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill is “unlikely” to significantly harm Fraser River sockeye now returning to spawn in fouled Quesnel Lake, according to the Pacific Salmon Commission.

The agency managing salmon fisheries said it doesn’t expect the peak of the sockeye migration to reach Quesnel Lake until the first week of September, giving about 20 days for river and lake conditions there to improve.

In a news release issued Friday it also noted the “encouraging results” of initial water quality tests released by the province is a cause for optimism.

But the commission cautioned there are also juvenile sockeye currently rearing in the lake and it’s too soon to tell whether they will be severely affected.

“The spill could impact their survival and food supply,” it said.

Great concern persists among First Nations and other salmon users over the potential for contamination and long-lasting damage to the fishery as a result of the mine disaster.

Between 845,000 and 2.95 million sockeye are forecast to spawn in the Quesnel system this year – about a quarter of the summer run and seven per cent of all Fraser sockeye stocks combined.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has not directly commented on the threat to salmon, saying Environment Canada is the lead federal agency.

“Fisheries and Oceans Canada will be closely monitoring the salmon run as it approaches the Quesnel system over the coming days to assess the potential effects of these pollutants and other factors including water temperature on salmon returns,” the department said via an emailed statement.

The Fraser continues to run at lower levels and higher temperatures than average, adding to concern that significant numbers of sockeye could die on their way upstream before spawning.

But officials say incoming sockeye look healthy and most are migrating through Johnstone Strait, rather than Juan de Fuca Strait on the west side of Vancouver Island.

Commercial fishing has already been open offshore to trollers since Aug. 2 and gillnetters who fish on the lower river between Steveston and Mission will get their first opening on Monday afternoon.

There’s no in-season estimate of the overall run size yet.

But major components of the run are tracking close to the mid-range of what had been predicted in advance.

That suggests a total sockeye return closer to the median forecast of

Cariboo Regional District

Quesnel Lake is part of a sockeye spawning system that connects with the Fraser River.

23 million, rather than the low end of seven million or a record high return of 72 million.

Area E Gillnetters Association spokesman Bob McKamey said it looks to be the best return since the large run of more than 30 million sockeye in 2010.

The last two years have been bleak for gillnetters, with only one chum opening each of

On the run for weeks, cat with bug catcher on its head is safely trapped C a n a d ia n Pres s

BRANDON, Man. — A Manitoba cat has been safely trapped after evading capture for weeks with what was believed to be a bird feeder stuck on its head.

According to the Brandon and Area Lost Animals group, Butterscotch is in good shape considering his ordeal and was being treated at the Grand Valley Animal Clinic.

Rescuers were originally concerned the ginger-and-white cat couldn’t eat or drink because of the device, but they later said they believed it could do both.

Toni Gramiak with the animal group said it now appears the device was actually an insect catcher, not a bird feeder.

She said the cat was waiting when a Brandon animal control officer went to check the trap early Saturday morning.

“Butterscotch walked into the trap finally,’’ Gramiak said

Butterscotch the cat, pictured during his days of misadventure.

Saturday. “He was very scared.’’

The cat was first spotted in the predicament on July 23.

Despite having the device on his head and much of its face covered up, Butterscotch was still able to run and jump and remained a fugitive.

Rescuers set traps baited with delicious treats such as sardines

and tuna, but still had no luck. Then last week they reported that one neigbourhood resident was sabotaging their efforts by making noise and flashing lights to deliberately scare the animal away.

Dog captures sometimes take months, Gramiak said, but cat captures are usually much quicker.

“His vision and sense

of smell was affected because of this contraption. So to get him to the trap, to get him to find the front of the trap, that was the challenge,’’ Gramiak explained.

At one point, rescuers arrived at a trap and found a Jack Russell terrier inside. The pooch had managed to pull free from a girl who was walking it, and sniffed its way to the bait meant for Butterscotch.

There was previously no word on whether Butterscotch was male or female, but Gramiak said the cat is now recovering after being neutered, free of charge, by a veterinarian at the clinic.

Butterscotch will be held for several days for an owner to come forward, and will be put up for adoption by Funds for Furry Friends Animal Rescue if no one does.

Gramiak said the cat has no tags, identification microchips or tattoos.

the past two years and no sockeye fisheries.

“They have waited a long time for a sockeye fishery. A lot us are just looking forward to getting a fresh one to the table.”

He expects steady openings for the 300 or so commercial gillnetting boats for several weeks.

“We’re expecting regular week-day open-

ings from now until September.”

Limited recreational fisheries for sockeye opened on the Fraser River last week, which catch limits of four per day, while aboriginal ceremonial and food sockeye fishing started two weeks ago.

Unionized commercial fishermen, meanwhile, have denounced the lack of government

oversight of the Mount Polley mine.

“We have fleets of boats with observers or cameras watching our every move to fish sustainably, and nobody is watching these folks as they destroy our ecosystem,” said said Kim Olsen, president of the Unifor local representing fishermen and allied workers.

Now veterans, military families and serving soldiers have taken to the choir stands to give the hit song a new life and to mark 100 years since the start of the Great War. A choir organized by a British military charity braved torrential rains to perform the song Sunday in central London, launching a new recording of what Aubrey Powell, the grandson of the original’s co-composer George Powell, described as

“the viral hit of WWI.’’ “Pack Up Your Troubles’’ was a widely-known music-hall style tune used to boost morale and a sense of unity among troops and on the home front.

“There couldn’t have been a person alive then who didn’t know someone fighting. It affected everybody, and having that song united people,’’ said Rachel Smith, one of the musical directors involved in the project.

She added that the song’s simple melody and lyrics gave it its enduring appeal, and is still relevant today because it “makes us think a little more about what people were going through.’’

Kurdish forces retake two towns in Iraq in setback for Islamic militants ASSOCIATED PRESS

“BAGHDAD — A senior Kurdish military official says his forces have retaken two towns from the Sunni militants that have seized large parts of northern Iraq.

Brig. Gen. Shirko Fatih said Sunday the Kurdish fighters were able to push the militants of the Islamic State group out of the villages of Makhmour and al-Gweir.

The retaking of the two towns in Nineveh province is significant because it is the first victory by the Kurdish forces, known as peshmerga, that until now have been in retreat.

Radical Sunni fighters seized Mosul in June and then went on to take even more towns, sending tens of thousands of minorities fleeing into the Kurdish-controlled region.
