Fire situation improving Whiteswan Provincial Park re-opened; most travel restrictions lifted; proactive burning begins on White Complex fires C AROLYN GR ANT

Camping season is officially back on. Not only has the fire ban been lifted throughout the Southeast Fire Zone, but access to one of the areas most popular campsites, Whiteswan Provincial Park, is now open.

With several days of rain and cooler temperatures giving fire crews an opportunity to make progress on many fires in the area, most travel restrictions have been lifted as well.

The group of fires known as the White Complex near Canal Flats are still getting plenty of attention, however.

Jordan Turner, Fire Information Officer with the Southeast Fire Centre, says that while many areas of the East Kootenay received substantial rain, that was not so much the case with the White

Complex.

“That area didn’t get as much rain, but it did get some, which was a great improvement,” he said.

There are currently seven lightning caused fires burning in the White Complex.

As of Monday morning, they are: • The White Tail Brook Fire, 8 km east of Canal Flats, is approximately 2,000 hectares and is 70 per cent contained.

• The Whiteswan Lake Fire, adjacent to the south edge of Whiteswan Lake, is approximately five hectares and 100 per cent contained.

• The White Rock Fire, two km east of the White River, is approximately 1,000 hectares and 60 per cent per cent contained.

A large crowd turned out to see Cranbrook in all its global diversity. See Page 1 for a wrap up story and Page 2 for a special photo feature.

The Mount Baker class of 1954 will be marking a momentus occasion this weekend, as they are having their 60th grad reunion.

In 1954, the Armond Theatre was showing Small Town Girl and Island in the Sky and milk was two for 35 cents at the Cranbrook Trading Co. David Pascuzzo has been organizing the reunion in Cranbrook.

“The class started in 1942,” Pascuzzo said. “We had 46

graduate that year in Cranbrook at Mount Baker High.”

On Aug. 22 they will be having a meet and greet at the Cranbrook Golf Course. Then, on Aug. 23, they will be having a banquet at the Heritage Inn. And to top it all off, they will be having a brunch at the Heritage on Aug. 24.

Pascuzzo said people are coming from as far as Texas and Ontario, but will also be coming from around B.C. and Alberta.

City hosting fluoride open house in October Ar n e Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

The question of whether or not the City of Cranbrook should continue the practice of adding fluoride to the municipal water supply will be put to a referendum this November. As part of the ramp up to the vote, the city will be hosting an open house on Thursday, Oct. 23 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Manual Training Centre.

The topic of the open

house will centre around informing the public on the potential benefits and dangers that ingesting fluoride can have.

Cranbrook is one of a small minority of communities that still add fluoride to their water supply. Those include Sparwood, Prince George, Fort St. John, Prince Rupert and Terrace. Prince George will be having a non-binding referendum on the matter.

Cranbrook’s referendum vote will be held as part of the municipal election on November 15, 2014. The city is encouraging all eligible voters to participate.

The referendum question on the ballot will be: “Are you in favour of Council adopting the City of Cranbrook Cease Fluoridation Bylaw No. 3799, 2014, which authorizes stopping the addition of fluoride to the municipal water supply effective January 1, 2015?”

A yes vote is for eliminating fluoride from the water, while a no vote is for the continued addition of it.

The Oct. 23 meeting will feature Canadian health experts on both sides of the fluoride debate. Dr. Alastair Nicoll, of the BC Dental Association, and a local dentist will argue for the continued addition of fluoride to the water, while Dr. James Beck, Professor Emeritus for Medical Biophysics at the Univer-

sity of Calgary and co-author of ‘The Case Against Fluoride’, will advocate against.

The presentation will be moderated by David Walls, president and CEO of the College of the Rockies. The speakers will stick around to meet the public and respond to questions for the remainder of the evening.

The City of Cranbrook’s website also provides public information about the fluoride electoral assent ques-

tion, the history of water fluoridation in Cranbrook and a place to learn more about fluoride with links to studies, reports and opinions around the pros and cons of water fluoridation. Visit www.cranbrook.ca/fluoride for more information.

The Manual Training School is located at 1212 2nd Street North, next to the Cranbrook Public Library. All are invited to the free public event.

Class of ‘54 holding reunion this weekend Continued from page 1 “Very seldom do classes have more coming than graduated,” he said. “We have 54 coming.”

Those are graduates and their plus-ones.

A few of the women won’t be able to come because they are taking care of their dependent husbands.

“We’re quite impressed by the numbers of people showing up,” he said. “We’re going to have all the grad pictures set up at the Heritage. I have newspaper clippings from 1942 to

‘54 covering sporting events, song events, choir events, awards that kids won. We have all the school records except for first grade.”

Pascuzzo recounted some of the events that transpired back then, such as the day they opened Mount Baker.

“We were at the old high school which was at 10th Avenue,” he said.

“That was our high school. We were in ninth grade in ‘51. It was Easter time and we took our books and walked down to the new school. That’s

when they opened Mount Baker. At that time it went from grade nine to 13.”

On V-E Day, they had a parade and the kids all got together and marched to the cenotaph.

“There was a big deal about it because it was Victory in Europe Day,” he said.

In 1949, the students went on a big march to protest the rise in an all important snack.

“They put the prices up of chocolate bars from five cents to seven cents,” he said. “So we

all marched from downtown Baker Street to Central School saying we all want five cent chocolate bars. I’ll never forget that.”

During World War II, students had to bring 25 cents to school every week to buy war bond stamps.

“They are little booklets of stamps and you pay 25 cents and then when the booklet is finished I think you went to the bank and you actually got a war bond issued for $10 or $25,” he said.

New festival celebrates multicultural heritage Tre vor Cr awley Daily Townsman

Though just a small town buried in the southeast corner of British Columbia, Cranbrook has some international flavour, which was clear at the first annual multicultural festival.

Roughly 12 cultures and countries were represented on Saturday afternoon, as volunteers dressed in traditional garb and sold cultural delicacies around Rotary Park.

“It was a big success,” said Coco Seitz, the executive director for the festival. “All the cultural groups came together and did an amazing job on their cultural displays.

All the food seemed to be a big hit, as all items were sold out shortly after lunch, while a large crowed

showed up for a fashion show that featured the traditional wear, she added.

“All the feedback so far has been great,” Coco said. “Someone said it’s been long overdue for Cranbrook and he was surprised at how many cultures are actually here in Cranbrook. “…That’s exactly the experience that we promised to bring people here, was a real, authentic experience without having to travel miles away.”

Traditional cultures and countries represented at the festival included: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Filipino, Italian, Dutch, South African, Vietnamese, Ktunaxa, Metis and Canadian The event opened with the Canadian national anthem, but

every cultural booth got the chance to air their anthem over the course of the afternoon. Kids kept busy on the playground equipment and also at a crafts booth, which was run by volunteer students from the College of the Rock-

“That’s exactly the experience that we promised to bring people here, was a real, authentic experience without having to travel miles away.”

Coco Seitz ies.

Mayor Wayne Stetski and Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett also voiced their apprecia-

tion for the festival to kick things off.

“It has been such a pleasure to get to know all of these great people and to learn more about their cultures,” said Stetski. “Why not bring them all together and encourage other citizens with an interest in their cultures to participate?”

Visibility and education was one of the main goals of the festival, which seemed to be accomplished, added Coco.

That rang true for Kerry Ries, who is a native of South Africa and one of delegates at the booth, wearing traditional clothing and educating festival-goers about her home country.

“As a Cranbrook citizen, living here for 14 years, you’re seeing people of different na-

tionalities, you just realize how many there are and so this kind of event [could] happen,” said Ries.

“For me, I just think it was amazing to see the the traditional dresses and clothing and different nations.

For us to keep a grip on our roots here, is very important. “…For us, to showcase South Africa, which itself is very mul-

ticultural—it was an educational opportunity, I thought.

“People don’t ask us questions about who we are, where we come from, why we left or why we’re here. You’re Canadian and you kind of get on with life. So it was really a fun thing to educate people visually, as to what South Africa is about.”

Mine dam inspections ordered across B.C. Tom F l e tc h e r Black Press

Independent engineering inspections have been ordered for Mount Polley mine near Williams Lake and nearly 100 other mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, with reports to be complete by the end of January.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett announced the dual reviews Monday. The Mount Polley investigation is to be complete by Jan. 31 and will be done concurrently with the B.C. government’s legally required probes by B.C.’s chief inspector of mines and the environment ministry,

which looks at the longer-term effects of the Aug. 4 tailings spill.

Bennett said costs will be covered by Imperial Metals for Mount Polley and by all operators of mines with permits to operate nearly 100 tailings facilities in B.C. “Certainly in the last 40 years there’s no evidence of a tailings dam breach in British Columbia, but rare or not,

it happened, and so the public’s confidence I think is shaken” Bennett said at a news conference in Vancouver.

“That’s why we need to get these three experts involved as quickly as we’re getting them involved.”

The Mount Polley panel includes UBC mine engineering professor Dirk Van Zyl, U.S. consulting engineer Steven Vick, whose ear-

lier investigations included the 2005 New Orleans levee breach that followed Hurricane Katrina, and Norbert Morgenstern, an Alberta civil engineering professor who has worked on 140 mine projects.

Bennett said the panel was chosen with approval of the Williams Lake and Soda Creek Indian Bands, and their report will be made available to the band

councils at the same time as government.

Independent inspections of other mine tailings ponds must be completed Dec. 1, a change from the March 31 deadline for inspections that are required annually. Bennett said these inspections will each have to be reviewed by an independent geotechnical engineering firm.

Fire situation improving Continued from page 1 • The Shark Tooth Mountain Fire, 17 km southeast of Canal Flats, is approximately 130 hectares and not contained.

• The East White Tail Fire, 1.5 km southeast of Munroe Lake, is approximately 300 hectares and 50 per cent contained.

• The East White River Fire, 4 km northwest of Munroe Lake, is approximately 550 hectares and is 50 per cent contained.

• The Little Elk Creek Fire, 30km east of Invermere, is approximately 240 hectares and is 25 per cent contained.

“There are 156 firefighters, five pieces of heavy equipment and four helicopters working in this complex,” Turner said.

On Monday, August 18, crews began what is called proactive burning around these fires. Residents were warned that there would be visible columns of smoke as the burns began.

“We want to contain these fires,” Turner said. “That is the purpose of the burn-off. The hope is to burn off areas and guide the

fires to control lines at the valley bottoms so there is no opportunity for them to grow.”

No communities or structures are threatened by these fires.

The Southeast Fire Centre would like to remind aircraft operators that when smoke or flame are identified in a wildland area the surrounding airspace (over a forest fire area, or over any area that is located within five nautical miles of a forest fire, at an altitude of less than 915 metres or 3,000 feet above ground level) automatically becomes flight restricted under the authority of Section 601.15 of the Canadian Aviation Regulation.

Almost all area restrictions have been lifted.

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

• The entire Kootenay Forest Service Road.

• The entire White-Rock Forest Service Road.

• Access roads leading to

Whiteswan Provincial Park and Lussier Hot Springs are now open, and the park will re-opened on Monday.

However, access to the White River Forest Service Road via the Whiteswan Forest Service Road will be closed past the 32-km marker to the general public due to fire fighting activities in the area.

An area restriction put in place northwest of Elkford continues.

This includes the entire East Fork of the White River Forest Service Road (FSR) from approximately 46.0 km to Munroe Lake; the Bull River FSR south to approximately 95 km and the entire Crown land portion of the Crossing Creek Trail east to Round Prairie.

Although the fire danger has dropped in most of Southeast British Columbia, it remains “Moderate” to “High” in the areas surrounding the White Complex.

The Southeast Fire Centre is urging the public to be extra cautious with campfires in the backcountry.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

ALR changes Re: “Farm changes a great leap forward” column.

Tom Fletcher is confused about the Ministry of Agriculture’s consultation, which features a public survey. He mistakenly says it shows that changes in last spring’s ALR bill “have little or nothing to do with exclusions” of farmland from the ALR.

That bill, which made exclusions easier in 90 per cent of the ALR (“Zone 2”), is now law. It’s no longer a current focus, in contrast to the survey about ALR regulations, which is open till August 22. The simple reason the survey doesn’t mention the bill or ALR exclusions is that they’re another matter.

It’s also illogical for Fletcher to imply that those who wanted consultation on the previous matter would oppose the current

consultation. If anything, many want more of it.

To top off confusion with bad taste, Fletcher mocks MLA Lana Popham’s photo and bizarrely ties a survey question to Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward, which cost millions of lives.

Jim Wright President, Garden City Conservation Society, Richmond

The United States of Tatooine “Tatooine” is, you will surely agree, a pretty stupid name for a planet, but there are so many Star Wars fans that some unfortunate world is bound to end up being called exactly that. Let’s just hope that its inhabitants, if there are any, never find out.

On the whole, though, giving more user-friendly names to newly found planets orbiting other stars is a good idea.

There is, for example, a potentially habitable “exoplanet” only 16 light years from here that is currently known only as Gliese 832c.

As any real estate agent could tell you, it would attract a lot more attention if you renamed it “Nirvana”.

There are gazillions of stars, and only around 300 have proper names (Antares, Procyon, Sirius) in any language. Some of the other bright ones are named after the constellation they are in, with a Greek letter or a number to indicate which one they are (Alpha Centauri, 61 Cygni). But most are just a number in a star catalogue. Jerome Lalande’s, published in 1801, had 47,390 stars, Henry Draper’s, published in 1918, listed 225,300.

Gliese 832 was named in a list of 3,803 “nearby” stars (up to 72 light years away) first published by Wilhelm Gliese in 1957, and updated several times since. The “c” was added when Gliese 832 was discovered to have planets two months ago. All very sensible and orderly, but not very romantic. So the International Astronomical Union called in the consultants, and the result was (pause for trumpet flourish) a competition!!

The NameExoWorlds contest, announced last year, will give the global public an opportunity to give more exciting or at least more memorable names to about 300 planets circling other stars. Starting

next month, a site will open on which astronomy clubs and other non-profit organisations can register with the IAU, and in October they will be asked to pick 25 or 30 of these planets for the first round of naming.

Starting in December, these clubs and organisations can propose names for the planets and their host stars (only one planet per group), and in March the general public can rank the in an online Gwynne proposals vote. They’re expecting more than a million votes.

Dyer The winning names will be announced at the IAU General Assembly in Honolulu a year from now — and Tatooine will certainly be one of the winners, provided that George Lucas gives his permission. (There might be a copyright issue.) But Vulcan will not be one of the names (sorry, Trekkies) because he was a Roman god, and names of religious figures aren’t allowed.

The IAU’s naming rules are the most interesting part of the exercise. Names may not be longer than 16 characters, they should only be one word, and they must be pronounceable in some known language (though not necessarily yours). They shouldn’t be rude, they must not be of a commercial nature, and the names of pets are not acceptable.

Most importantly, they cannot be the names of living individuals, nor the names of individuals, places or events principally known for political, military or religious activities. Which would have caused a lot of problems if the rule had already been in force during the last big round of naming places.

Imagine that the IAU’s rule had been in force in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, when European sailors and settlers were sprinkling names on all the “new lands” in

the Americas and Australasia. No New England, no Melbourne, and certainly no El Salvador. No Sao Paulo, no Los Angeles, and no Sydney.

The southernmost Australians dealt with the problem in 1856 by changing their island’s name from Van Diemen’s Land (he was a former governor of the Dutch East Indies) to Tasmania (Abel Tasman was simply an explorer, and safely dead by then). But New Zealand would not pass muster on the word count, and New South Wales is simply ridiculous.

Waterloo in Canada will have to go, as will Washington (both the city and the state) in the United States, and they’ll have to do something about Bolivia too. But the biggest problem will be what to do about the Americas: two entire continents called after an individual who was still alive when they were named.

Amerigo Vespucci, originally from Florence, moved to Spain in 1492 and subsequently became involved in organising various voyages of exploration to the “New World” for the kings of both Spain and Portugal. In 1507 he was credited by the German geographer Martin Waldseemuller with discovering that these lands were not part of Asia, as Columbus had originally believed, but a huge separate land-mass between Europe and Asia.

On his world map of that same year, therefore, Waldseemuller named that land-mass “America”, after the Latin version (Americus) of Vespucci’s first name.

But Amerigo Vespucci was still alive — he didn’t die until 1512. The name caught on, as it happened, but Waldseemuller broke the IAU rules.

It’s never too late to fix a mistake, but what shall we call the place instead? I know. How about the continents of North Tatooine and South Tatooine? And, of course, the United States of Tatooine.

Breaking Barriers

Accessible Design, Part I: Entrances and Doors My name is Raux, and I have a disability. This is the tenth in a weekly series about living with a disability in a community like Cranbrook.

When it’s time to build or renovate your home there are many things to consider: do you need room to move equipment around, what flooring would best suit your needs, stairs vs ramps vs elevators & lifts, etc. Also there are ways to make your home aesthetically pleasing without being clinical...

Part I – Entrance & Doors Security: If you are in a rental you can

leave a key in a lockbox and give the code to people you trust to have access to your home, including care aids. A great bonus of using a lockbox instead of giving copies of your keys out is that you can easily change your code.

Entry: Doors can be heavy and difficult to open for some; there are automatic openers you can install, you can also bolt a ring to the door and use a strap or leash to give you better grip and leverage by using the power of your wheelchair or scooter to pull the door open.

For myself it is easiest to push through doorways, I plan to design a rotating door

that will allow me to push the door from either side for easy access. I’ve also seen garage doors open up to restaurant patios and thought that a small automatic garage door would be a cool accessible entry door.

Interior Doors: Double doors (i.e.

French), pocket and barn-style track doors can be used to provide privacy to rooms when needed and left open otherwise so you can enter and exit rooms easily, giving you a more open concept to our home. …If you can’t easily enter and exit your home you may feel confined by your home.

You not only want your entrance to be welcoming to your guests but to you as well.

What we know about the mine spill Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known.

As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.

Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story).

The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ rou-

tine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption.

For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of BC VIEWS years. Before that, acid-proTom duced toxic metal pollution drained from the abanFletcher doned mine into Howe Sound for decades.

Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken.

On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.

It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase.

The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water.

Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.

It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed.

TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find. Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors.

Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region.

No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty.

From pond to podium

Thompson scores bronze at National Wakeboard Championships Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Colden Thompson made a big splash at the 2014 Canadian National Wakeboard Championships in Bala, Ont. this past weekend, returning home with a bronze medal in junior men’s competition.

“It was a lot of hard work and a lot of riding to get to the finals,” Thompson said Monday afternoon. “I’ve done a lot of hard work, so it feels good [to bring home a medal].”

The 17-year-old Thompson took the tough route to the finals after failing to advance following his first qualifying ride. From there, he needed a strong showing in his last-chance qualifying ride, which brought him back to the semi-fi-

nals. Another quality run in the semi-finals sent the Cranbrook native to the finals.

Thompson scored a ride of 64.33 in his final run. It was his best ride of the weekend and landed him third in the junior men’s category (age 14 to 17) behind Erik Schroeder (85.67) and Brayden Beswick (73.33).

This was Thompson’s first trip to the Canadian National Wakeboard Championships, having only been competing for one year. The hardware further pads the resume of the rising young wakeboarder, as he continues to establish himself as a promising water sports athlete.

Last year, Thompson captured a first-place finish in the Outlaw Di-

vision at the 2013 Waterski and Wakeboard Association of Alberta (WSWA) Provincial Championships. The win was his first major accomplishment in organized competition.

This weekend, Thompson returns to the WSWA Provincial Championships at Alix Lake, Alta. — approximately 55 km northeast of Red Deer — where he will look to ride a wave of momentum from his strong showing in Bala.

The young wakeboarder wished to extend his thanks to those supporting him through his competitions.

Thompson will spend this week preparing for the provincial championship by focusing on perfecting the ride he utilized at nationals.

Cranbrook Cannons win Hickling Memorial Sar ah Kucharski The Free Press

The Cranbrook Cannons came out on top at the 3rd Annual Jen Hickling Memorial SloPitch Tournament last weekend.

The tournament saw eight teams face off at the Tie Lake ball diamond in Jaffray from Aug. 9 to 10.

The annual tournament, organized in ded-

ication to Fernie local Jen Hickling who passed away to an aggressive form of cancer two years ago, was moved to Jaffray after a series of miscommunication between council and the organizers of the event.

Despite that initial disappointment, organizer Shi-ann Martin said that ultimately, “the tournament was awesome and everything

went really well.”

Raffle tickets and 50/50 draws added to the tournament’s activities.

In honour of Hickling, the event also raised funds to help support cancer patients currently going through treatment, including Tammy Stratton, Carmer Smith and the Fernie Friends for Friends cancer charity.

CFL Briefs Redblacks release WR Jackson C anadian Press

OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks have released veteran wide receiver Paris Jackson.

The former CFL West all star had just six receptions for 34 yards over eight games with Ottawa this season.

Prior to signing with the Redblacks in March, the Vancouver native spent 11 seasons with B.C and helped the Lions win two Grey Cups (2006, 2011).

He was a division all-

star in 2008, when he had 1,180 receiving yards on 76 receptions.

He had his second straight 1,000-yard campaign in 2009 with 1,042 yards in 17 games.

In later seasons he was reduced to a backup role with the Lions before being released by the team in February.

The Redblacks also released international wide receiver Tim Maypray and international defensive back Seth Williams.

Cornish ready to return for Stamps C anadian Press

CALGARY — Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish says he’s ready to play again.

The CFL’s most valuable player and leading rusher last season has been out of the lineup with concussion symp-

toms since the season opener.

Stampeder head coach John Hufnagel expects Cornish to be back to full practice with the team Wednesday.

Cornish intends to play Sunday in Ottawa against the Redblacks.

NHL Briefs Leafs sign William Nylander C anadian Press

TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed first-round draft pick William Nylander to a three-year entry level contract.

The forward was selected eighth overall by Toronto at the NHL draft in June.

The 18-year-old Nylander had one goal, six assists, seven points and six penalty minutes in 22 games with MODO of the Swedish Hockey League in 2013-14.

He also played 18 games for Rogle and 17 games for Sodertalje in Sweden’s second division, posting eight

points (four goals, four assists) and 19 points (11 goals, eight assists) for each club, respectively.

Nylander, a fivefoot-11, 170-pound forward, was selected as the best forward at the 2014 Under-18 World Championship in Finland after leading all players in assists (10) and points (16) in seven games. Sweden finished fourth in the tournament.

Nylander, who was born in Calgary, is the son of Michael Nylander, who played for seven teams during a 920game, 15-season NHL career.

Blackhawks sign Michael Leighton Associated Press

CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks have signed goaltender Michael Leighton to a one-year contract.

The 33-year-old provides organizational depth behind Corey Crawford and Antti Raanta.

Barring injury, he could spend much of the year with Chicago’s AHL affiliate in Rockford.

Leighton was drafted

by Chicago in the sixth

round of the 1999 draft and made his NHL debut with the Blackhawks in January 2003.

He has a 35-41-14 record with a 2.97 goalsagainst average in parts of eight seasons with Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia and Carolina.

Leighton was in goal for Philadelphia when Patrick Kane scored in overtime in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup finals, giving the Blackhawks the title.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My 5-year-old son has been claiming to see the paranormal. I’m sure part of it is just his imagination. But sometimes he describes in great detail people and even pets who have died. He mainly claims to see a cousin he never met, but whom he can describe accurately. Sometimes, he will sit up in bed and start talking to a wall, saying he is talking to his cousin.

Now he says he can see someone else. He isn’t sure who it is, but it frightens him. My son won’t even walk past the bedroom door without me or another adult with him and the bedroom light on.

We don’t let him watch scary movies or anything like that. Is it possible that he is really seeing these things? I’ve mentioned it to a few different ministers who just laughed it off and said there is no such thing as the paranormal. Any advice would be appreciated. -- A Fan of Your Work Dear Fan: The fact that your son doesn’t watch scary movies does not mean he hasn’t been exposed to ads for them or comments from friends. Nonetheless, our concern is not that your son is making it up. Sometimes manifestations of the paranormal can indicate a medical problem. Please take him to his doctor for a complete checkup, including a neurological exam.

Dear Annie: A couple in our social circle have developed a disgusting habit in recent years, and no one knows how to approach them about it. These people blow their noses at the dinner table every time they sit down and then return their dirty tissues to their pockets and carry on eating. This is not just a gentle dab at the end of the nose. It’s a fullblown empty-the-sinus kind of thing.

These people are well educated with good jobs. I’m sure they would be devastated if we said something, but it has reached the point where we no longer accept dinner invitations if we know they will be there, because this nose blowing turns our stomachs. We can’t understand how no one in their family has mentioned it to them.

Is this a social faux pas, or are we too picky?

-- Disgusted Dear Disgusted: It is definitely a social faux pas to blow one’s nose at the dinner table.

One can wipe a sniffle, but blasting more than that should be done in the privacy of the bathroom. Should it happen again in your presence, simply say, “My goodness, Horace! Your allergies must be getting worse.

You’d make all of us more comfortable if you used the powder room to take care of that.”

The two of them may be mildly miffed, but making people sick at the dinner table is not appropriate.

Dear Annie: I would like to contribute to the responses to “Frustrated with Noise,” who complained about young children in church.

When my sons were small, they were a wild bunch running down the aisles of our synagogue. Our rabbi never reprimanded them.

If a baby cried during services, the rabbi would always ask the parents not to remove the child.

One day he explained: He was a Holocaust survivor. The first year after he was liberated from the concentration camp, there were no children at services. They had all been murdered. After a year or so, people started to have children again. Babies were born. At the first service with children in attendance, there was the sound of babies crying. It was such a joyful sound that our rabbi never again wanted to preside over a service without the sound of children. -- Agoura Hills, Calif.

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

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

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

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

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

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

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

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

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

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

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

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

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

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

NEWS/Features

Stop playing the part of the victim Part 2 of 2 Dear Unsettled Mother and Wife: We will now answer the rest of your questions from the last column.

Everyone is born with a guardian angel; you have 8 angels and 7 guides around you at this time. These numbers of guides and angels can change accordingly to what is happening in your life.

On a personal note you have just as much control over your child as your husband does. If you want to set up a routine for him then you do so. If your child does not comply with what you are asking him to do then you put him in his room for a time out. Every action has a consequence and he needs to learn this before he goes into the real world.

If your husband objects to the way you are disciplining the child or the routine you have set up for the child then

sit down and talk to him about it. This means you sit down and discuss your child.

This does not mean you sit down and act like a victim because of what you and he have going on.

This means you ask your husband what he feels is wrong with the routine you have set up or your behaviour towards your child or whatever.

If your husband has good points of view on how it can be revised then accept them and implement them into the routine for the child.

If he does not have solid advice and he wants to bully you then you get up and walk away from the table and tell him the conversation is over until he can talk like a responsible parent.

It’s called caring about your child and forgetting what your husband thinks about you.

Again, stop being a victim

Scotland’s pro-independence leader says victory on the way, month before referendum As s o c iate d Pres s

LONDON — Scotland’s pro-independence leader is insisting his campaign is headed for victory — one month before the historic Sept. 18 referendum.

First Minister Alex Salmond told The Associated Press on Monday that those seeking independence have always been the underdogs.

But Salmond seemed buoyant after new polls suggest that Scotland’s voters are only narrowly divided on whether to leave the United Special Information Supplement

Kingdom. However, polls consistently show those favouring union in the lead.

He said the day after the vote Scots won’t ``wake up and find there are three taps in every house - whisky, oil and water.’’ But he added that independence activists can build a more prosperous and just society.

Salmond has come under fire for economic arguments, particularly the question of which currency an independent Scotland would use.

ASK WENDY Wendy Evano around your husband and start acting like a mom who wants to help her child.

We have all made mistakes in our lives and if you have shown him that you are truly sorry for what you have done and he still does not forgive you; well then that’s his problem. It only becomes your problem if you have not admitted and shown retribution for the mistake you have made in your marriage.

The important issue at this time for yourself is have you forgiven yourself for the mistake you had made in your marriage? We think not. Because if you had you would have set your boundaries with you and your hus-

band and your child a long time ago.

We also suggest you approach your husband and ask him to go to counselling with you to sort out the issues you have with each other.

We feel your child is being used as a tool that you both use against each other. To put it bluntly if you both want to go and thrash it out in the back of the woodpile then do it and get it over with. Don’t do it in front of the child. He is very anxious and high-strung and feels the tension between the two of you.

Again, to put it bluntly the kid is living in a war zone with the two of you, that’s why he is anxious. If one or both of you do not want to seek counselling and get some help for your marriage; then you know what you need to do don’t you.

We all at some time in our

lives use our children subconsciously for our own selfish reasons or fears. We must as adults admit to what we have done and change our way of behaviour so our children do not become victims as well.

Maybe that’s what they mean when they say a child has the “sins of the father.”

Hmmm, I’ve always wondered about that phrase.

You have also stated that you have so many questions about your role as a mom and a wife and even being a friend to anyone. What specific questions would you like my guides to answer for you in regards to being a mom or a wife and being a good friend? You can email me again with these questions if you wish.

You also asked if your life will get easier or if your child is going to be a handful until he finishes school? Honey, children are a handful till the

day you die. That’s why God invented schools, summer camps and day cares. That’s why when they fly the nest a lot of couples make their child’s room into an exercise room, or size down their house and move to Florida.

Okay ,just kidding — not.

Don’t forget you were a human being with your own identity before you were a mom.

Always, grow and seek out who you are and what you want in your life. This child will grow up and now so must you.

For highest salary increases in Canada, look to the oilpatch Can a d i a n Pr e s s

CALGARY — For the biggest pay hikes in Canada, look no further than the oilpatch.

The energy sector continues to lead the country in both actual and projected salary increases, according to survey released Monday by global consulting firm Mercer.

The average base salary increase across the country is expected to be three per cent next year, the same as in 2014.

But in the energy sector,

the pay bump is forecast at 3.7 per cent in 2015 after an actual 3.9 per cent increase this year.

Mercer has conducted its Canada Compensation Planning Survey for more than two decades, compiling responses from nearly 700 organizations across Canada.

For the past five years, the trends have been stable both at a national level and amongst different industries, Mercer’s Allison Griffiths said in an interview.

“Companies just, in gen-

eral, are feeling more stable and more confident about their outlooks,’’ she said.

When the energy sector is removed from the mix, the national average projected salary increase drops to 2.9 per cent. That effect is more pronounced in energy-rich Alberta and Saskatchewan.

On the other end of the spectrum, the transportation, equipment, consumer goods and retail/wholesale industries are expected to see the smallest salary increases at around 2.6 or 2.7

per cent. ``All different factors come into play here when we’re talking about salary increases. It’s the economy... or who are the big companies within the region and what are they doing? Cost of living comes into it, competition for labour,’’ said Griffiths.

“Retail in general is typically one of the industries that their profits and their margins are very tight, so they’re typically very conservative with their salary increases.’’
