Ktunaxa ‘disappointed’ in Alliance challenge TRE VOR CR AWLEY Daily Townsman

The Ktunaxa responded with disappointment to the filing of a lawsuit on behalf

of the Okanagan Nation Alliance, which is challenging a treaty agreement between the Ktunaxa nation and the provincial government.

“The Ktunaxa Nation Council respects that the Okanagan do not wish to be a part of the treaty process,” said Kathryn Teneese, Ktu-

naxa Nation Council chair.

“However, the Ktunaxa are making progress in treaty negotiations and it is disappointing to have another

Nation try to undermine our efforts.

“The Ktunaxa Nation will take appropriate steps to protect our rights and inter-

ests, but we would prefer to resolve these issues through discussion and dialogue.”

CRANBROOK CITY COUNCIL

Planting seeds for urban agriculture A R NE PE TRYS HEN

Cranbrook has begun the first steps to creating a strategy around urban agriculture. At a Monday city

council meeting, mayor Wayne Stetski put forward a notice of motion on an Urban Agriculture Strategy.

Stetski noted that Cran-

brook currently doesn’t have a specific strategy or policy with respect to urban agriculture. The city has received a number of requests

and expressions of interest in conducting various forms of agricultural activities within city limits.

See COUNCIL, Page 3

As a direct consequence of the tailings dam breach at the Mt. Polley Mine earlier this month, the chief inspector of mines has issued an order to all mining companies to conduct a Dam Safety Inspection for every tailings storage facility at a permitted mine by Dec. 1, 2014. Under the order, those inspections must be reviewed by an independent, qualified, third-party, professional engineer from a firm not associated with the tailings facility.

There are currently 98 permitted tailings impoundments at 60 operating and closed metal and coal mines in B.C. One of those permit holders is Teck, which continues to maintain the Sullivan Mine tailings impoundment in Kimberley.

The area of tailings impoundment is approximately 583 hectares, which includes both remediated land and tailings ponds, containing material left over from the mining and processing of ore.

Chris Stannell, senior

communications specialist with Teck Resources Limited says the company supports the order from the BC Government.

“We support the steps announced by the B.C. government and will work with the province to meet all inspection and documentation requirements,” he said.

“Nothing is more important than the safety of people and communities and we have extensive measures to safeguard the tailings facilities at the Sullivan reclamation site.

“Our tailings dams at the Sullivan reclamation site are inspected by technical staff daily, formal dam safety inspections are conducted annually by an external Engineer of Record, and third-party reviews by an independent geotechnical expert are performed every five to seven years at each facility.

The most recent formal dam safety inspection was carried out in May 2014.”

Teck will pay for the external inspection of its dam facilities, Stannell said.

Cranbrook a special place for Manitoba MP Tre vor Cr awley Daily Townsman

Cranbrook has gotten some attention from the federal government this week, as Candice Bergen, Minister of State for Social Development, has been in town to make a pair of funding announcements.

However, it’s not just all business for the Manitoban MP. Bergen has a personal connection to the community, with family members living in the city for years, even doing a turn herself in the mid1980s.

It started in her childhood, as her family, which lived in Manitoba, would come out to British Columbia, specifically to Cranbrook, in the summers.

“I come from a big family in Manitoba and there was this draw from my family—as soon as everyone got their drivers licenses, as soon as they got out of school, it was head to B.C., and it was usually Cranbrook,” said Bergen. “Cranbrook was just a draw. “…We’d pack up the car, leave at 4 a.m. in the morning and we would take great pride, my dad would, in getting here in 17.5 hours.”

In 1984, she moved to the Key City for just under two years, joining some of her family who had already settled down in the area.

“Whether it’s the

people, the beauty, the beautiful fresh air — that’s always so strong in my mind, when you get up in the morning, just the beautiful fresh air,” Bergen said.

It’s no surprise that the opportunities for outdoor recreation and adventure around Cranbrook appeals to Bergen.

“I’m an avid supporter of the rural way of life, hunting, angling and enjoying the beauty we have. I think the people in this community are some of the strongest— what I like to call—conservationist and environmentalist in terms of really loving the land,” she said.

Work took her back to Manitoba, and she was elected as the Conservative Party MP for the riding of Portage-Lisgar in 2008. She took on her ministerial duties just over a year ago, when the federal government created a role for social development.

She’s noticed changes over the years.

The Canadian Museum of Rail Travel wasn’t around when she lived here, while the city has expanded and grown into a service hub for the East Kootenay region.

“And then, of course, Cranbrook is known for some pretty good hockey players that have come out of this town,” she added.

Councils hatches strategies for urban agriculture Continued from page 1

The Urban Agriculture Strategy would do a number of things. It would promote guidelines, actions and policies with respect to urban agriculture; promote sustainability and food security; support economy initiatives for the agricultural sector; and provide support when seeing funding opportunities for agricultural related projects.

Coun. Sharon Cross attended a consultation with the Ministry of Agriculture, that included farmers and ranchers from the area.

“In 2004, when the province made farm gate sales illegal, it led to quite a loss in the East Kootenay of our producers,” Cross said. She then read out some statistics.

In 2001, there were 151 cattle ranching and farming operations and in 2011 there were 78. There were 25 hog and pig farms in 2001, and in 2011, there was one. In 2001, there were nine poultry and egg producers and in 2011 there was one. There were 56 sheep and goat farms in 2001, and in 2011 that went down to five.

“So I do support the resolution, I’m a little concerned about the inclusion of chickens at this point,” Cross said. “I think we have a ways to go and I’ve had a number of ranchers and farmers say that since that legislation was removed they are really having a hard time making ends meet. I think we have an obligation to our neighbours to encourage their economic sustainability, so I’m a little concerned about the chicken part of the agricultural component at this time. There would only be one exception that I’d consider.”

Stetski said there would be ample opportunity to hear both sides of the chicken discussion as the strategy moves forward.

“That is just one part of the Urban Agriculture Strategy,” he said. “I’m sure we’ll have that discussion and I’m assuming the strategy will include public input.”

Later in the council agenda, there was three letters of correspondence pertaining to the subjects —

one on the Urban Agriculture Strategy and two on urban chickens.

Jessica Windle, Wildsight Food Sustainability Program manager, wrote a letter commending council for bringing forward the topic.

“A sustainable food system in our region offers countless benefits to residents, commerce and the ecosystem around us,” Windle wrote.

On the topic of chickens, resident Jim Kennedy said council should gauge the feelings of the population before changing bylaws to allow the raising of chickens.

“The concept of urban agriculture in our community is laudable and should be encouraged by all means, but restricted to gardening,” Kennedy wrote.

Resident Angela Sanders had the opposite opinion and gave a number of reasons that backyard chickens would be beneficial.

She noted that the issues with odour from chickens comes largely from people familiar with large scale chicken keeping.

“A well-managed and small flock of 4-5 chickens will not produce a volume of manure that cannot be readily managed by a responsible owner,” Sanders wrote.

On the topic of noise, she wrote that it is the roosters that make noise, so as long as roosters are not permitted, then sound is minimal.

Hens sleep during the night and only make clucking noises in the daytime.

She said bylaws and registration could keep poor conditions to a minimum.

On the topic of managing chickens past egg-laying age, she suggested that a service be set up with the butchers, abattoirs or farms for people who don’t want to keep their chickens.

The last thing she mentioned was the there will not be a likely issue with predators.

“I’m not sure that chickens will encourage predators any more than cats/dogs and their food, fruit trees, garbage or any other attractant,” she said.

A Cranbrook resident is the latest winner of Wildsight’s “Look Outside” photo competition.

Amy Bereczki of Cranbrook is taking home a rafting trip for two on Toby Creek for her stop-action photo of “Keeva the Beeva,” featuring Bereczki’s fun-loving pup leaping into Lazy Lake, northeast of Wasa. The prize is courtesy of Kootenay River Runners, a rafting company out of Radium Hot Springs.

Look Outside is Wildsight’s celebration of life in the Purcell region, and provides an opportunity to showcase the significance of the wild and its critical connections for both wildlife and humans.

Over the course of 2014 until the summer of 2015, Look Outside encourages people to share

photographs of how they connect and see the wild in the Purcell region.

“It’s a celebration of the wild and wildlife,

how they’re connected to each other, and how we as humans are connected with the wild, from backcountry to

backyard,” reads the contest website.

Making your living through stand-up comedy is not for the faint of heart. It means getting up in front of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people nightly and putting a lot of yourself out there for people to laugh at. Hopefully.

It also means a lot of your time spent on the road, hitting comedy clubs and festivals.

Such is the life of Cranbrook-born Mike Delamont, who has been living the dream since 2011.

Delamont spoke to the Bulletin from Edmonton. He is due to perform in Kimberley on Tuesday, August 26, at 9 p.m. Then it’s back to Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver before he returns home to Victoria.

Despite the travel, Delamont says of his unusual career choice, “It’s been fun so far.”

“I make a living at it.

I sure like it. I didn’t know if I’d be able to make a living, but I do.”

Delamont left Cranbrook when he was 14, but his family still lives there, which he says will

“I talk about family quite a bit. My show is a lot of stories about my life. But now I have to think about what I’ll say when my family is in the room.”

Delamont began doing sketch comedy in Victoria right out of high school but realized fairly quickly that he was drawn to stand up.

“I found out I couldn’t write for other people. I started writing characters for myself.”

That evolved into stand up comedy.

Delamont says that there is a fairly nice stand-up scene in Victoria.

Legal action was

launched by the Okanagan Nation Alliance last week in regards to the overlapping claims, as Grand Chief Stewart Phillip called into question the legality of the B.C. treaty process itself, with the central issue being that First Nations have the right to protect their own property. He

added that the province did not consult with the seven bands that make up the Okanagan Nation Alliance before signing the agreement.

finished a series of shows at Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. He did an eight minute spot for Just For Laughs, which will air early next year.

“I’m more of a story teller rather than quick jokes. So when I was told eight minutes, I said ‘okay, that’s two jokes. There are little funnies throughout, but two main stories.

“It was my first Just For Laughs and normally on your first offer you just get a club show. But they offered me a televised solo. It went really, really well.”

It was somewhat daunting performing for a larger audience and thinking about who may be watching on television, he said, but also great for the career.

“It puts you out there.”

This will be the first time Delamont performs in the Kootenays since he became an touring comedian.

“I’m bringing two of my favourite comedians to open the show and I’ll do an hour. It should be a good evening of comedy.”

Sullivan tailings ponds through the years Incidents occured in 1948, 1974 and 1991

C AROLYN GRANT

in 1991 as well.

Cominco Magazine’s December 1991 edition described it as follows.

“On August 23, at approximately 4 p.m., a major dyke failure 1,050 feet long occurred along the perimeter of the active tailings impoundment area at the Sullivan Concentrator. The failure occurred within an hour of the completion of another lift on this engineered structure. Fortunately, no one was injured and no tailings were released to the environment.

“The site was immediately secured, and the Mines Inspector was on site within two hours to inspect the area.”

At that time, a drilling and soil sampling program was conducted to determine the cause and report on the stability of the entire structure.

Cominco Magazine reported in September of 1992 that 790,000 cubic yards of float rock were required to repair the failed dyke.

As reported in the Townsman last week, there was a previous break in the Cominco tailings ponds at the Sullivan Mine in 1948. A look through old newspaper clippings and Cominco magazines from previous years, show there were also incidents in 1974 and 1991.

In the spring of 1974, according to reports in the Daily Bulletin, water began seeping into streets and basements on 301st Street in Marysville. A study by an engineering firm determined the source was the calcine pond behind the Fertilizer plant. The report recommended that Cominco reduce the amount of water it was discharging into the calcine pond by adding a thickener. It also recommended a drainage ditch be put in at the toe of the bank to carry excess water into Cow Creek.

There was a problem with the tailings ponds

“During the investigation of the remaining iron dyke, the geo-technical consultant identified another area of foundation weaknesses similar to the failure area and several areas of localized weakness higher up in the dyke.

“These areas required stabilization to prevent another possible failure from occurring especially in the event of an earthquake.”

There are lessons to be learned from each tailings dam failure suggests a paper written in BC in 2002 entitled ‘Mine Tailings Dams: When Things Go Wrong’.

The paper was written

by Michael Davies, Todd Martin and Peter Lighthall at AGRA Earth & Environmental Limited, Burnaby, BC. The report begins by stating: “Mine tailings impoundment failures continue to occur at unacceptable rates. The worldwide mining industry has experienced roughly one significant impoundment failure

A Google Earth shot of the Sullivan tailings ponds in Kimberley. per year over the past 30 years.

“So why do failures of tailings dams continue to occur? The failures are not just of older facilities constructed without formal designs, but include facilities designed and commissioned in the past 5 to 20 years - supposedly the “modern age” of tailings

dam engineering.

“The first step in evaluating the reasons for continued tailings dam failures comes from recognizing the uniqueness of mine tailings dams. The unique attributes include: • Tailings impoundments are among the largest man-made structures with several

approaching 1 x 109 tonnes of stored slurried tailings; • Tailings dams are built on a continuous basis by mine operators; and • Tailings dams are a cost to the mining process - they do not generate a revenue stream akin to a hydroelectric dam.”

“The Sullivan tailings facility had been under the design and monitoring stewardship of a recognized consulting organization. This event served to demonstrate that “a well intentioned corporation employing apparently well-qualified consultants is not adequate insurance against serious incidents” (Morgenstern, 1998). Ironically, the 1991 event was similar in nature to a dyke failure that occurred in 1948. The passage of more than forty years should not have been enough to induce the designers into TDA (Tailings Dam Amnesia).

TDA refers to a state of tailings dam design or stewardship where lessons available at that very site are ignored in spite of ample available information on-site, visual evidence of previous event occurrence and/or published accounts of incidents on a given project.”

East Kootenay benefits from disability funding T r e vo r C r awl ey Daily Townsman

Cranbrook and Kimberley, along with other communities in the region, were awarded $140,723 in funding for projects aimed at increasing accessibility for people with disabilities.

Announced by Candice Bergen, the Minister of State for Social Development, the funding will go to a pair of projects in Cranbrook and Kimberley that will make a few municipal facilities easer to access by wheelchair.

In Cranbrook, funding

went to installing automatic doors at five locations that include the curling centre and Western Financial Place and an accessible washroom at city hall, while Kimberley built three accessible bridges over Mark Creek trail system.

“We’re proud to be able to support these projects, to be able to partner together with this community with individuals and groups who are helping Canadians with disabilities access the things we take for granted,” said Bergen.

In a speech in council chambers at Cranbrook city hall on Wednesday, Bergen punctuated her point with a personal anecdote.

“I have some very good friends who are in wheelchairs and have accessibility issues and sometimes we call a restaurant or call a community place and we ask ‘Are you accessible?’ and they say, ‘Yes, we are,’” Bergen said. “And you get there and they’re not accessible.

The door’s not wide enough, it’s difficult to get up to the door, there might be just

three or four steps, which doesn’t seem like a big deal, but when you’re in a wheelchair, that is a big deal.”

In addition to Cranbrook and Kimberley, funding was also distributed to the District of Invermere and the Valley Community Resource Society, out of the federal government’s Enabling Accessibility Fund.

Cranbrook mayor Wayne Stetski recounting a day of touring the community in a wheelchair shortly after he was elected with two local citizens who were con-

cerned with accessibility.

“Until you’ve actually done that, spent a little time trying to make your way around, you really do not understand the challenges,” Stetski said. “I got beaten up by doors trying to get into buildings. They set me up where you can get on one of our sidewalks in Cranbrook, you can wheel down to the end, but you can’t get off. “…We want a community that is as welcoming to all our people as possible, so over the last couple years, we’ve been on a bit of a jour-

ney to improve accessibility for people in Cranbrook.”

In addition to community projects, Bergen also put out the call for small businesses to apply for funding that is available for improving accessibility at the workplace. Roughly $5 million in grants are available with a 50/50 cost sharing between the federal government and small business project proposals with a deadline of Oct. 1st, 2014.

The Gaza War: A Caucus Race “They began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over,” as Lewis Carrol put it in Alice in Wonderland. He was describing the Caucus Race, but it sounds quite a lot like the Gaza War, doesn’t it? What’s different is that at the end of the Caucus Race, the Dodo Bird declared: “Everybody has won, so all must have prizes.”

After nine days of moreor-less cease-fire, they’re at it again. In the first 24 hours, 60 Palestinian rockets had been launched at Israel (no casualties), and 60 Israeli air strikes had hit Gaza (11 dead). That’s pretty small beer in a war that has already killed more than 2,000 people, but they literally don’t know how to stop, and the Dodo Bird is no help at all. The fact is that nobody has won, so nobody can have prizes.

That’s what the negotiations in Cairo were actually about: prizes. Hamas’s leaders in Gaza were demanding an end to the Israeli blockade of the territory and the opening of air and sea ports in the Gaza Strip. They also wanted over 200 Hamas members in the West Bank who had been arrested just before the start of this war to be released. They might as well have asked for the Moon.

Hamas has fired almost 6,000 of its homemade rockets at Israel since the start of the war, but it has killed only two Israeli civilians (plus one Thai guest-worker). It doesn’t represent even a serious danger to Israel, let alone an existential threat. So why would any sane Palestinian negotiator think that Israel would feel compelled to make major concessions to Hamas in order to make the pain stop?

The Israeli negotiators were equally deluded. They understandably dismissed all

of Hamas’s demands, but then they made equally ludicrous demands of their own.

They wanted Hamas and all other militant Palestinian organisations in the Gaza Strip to be completely disarmed. That would not only end any possibility that the Palestinians could exert military pressure on Israel; it would also quite soon end Hamas’s rule in the Gaza Strip.

Why would Hamas agree with that? Over 2,000 people have been killed and more than 8,000 inby Israel’s strikes on Gwynne jured the Gaza Strip, but that’s less than one per cent of Dyer the population. Moreover, when the Israeli army actually invaded Gaza on the ground (to destroy the famous “terror tunnels”), Hamas fighters managed to kill 64 Israeli soldiers.

That was a particularly futile waste of Israeli lives, since it is hard to believe that 64 of Israel’s troops would ever have been killed by random Hamas fighters coming out of undiscovered tunnels from time to time. Ordinary Israelis, with nightmare visions of terrorists popping up in their gardens, have bought the official line that the sacrifice was worthwhile, but none of the tunnels actually extended more than a couple of kilometres beyond Gaza’s border.

The Palestinians doubtless think that killing more Israeli soldiers than in the previous two wars combined was some sort of success, even if they lost many more fighters themselves, but in the real world it does not give them any military advantage.

So no concessions from either side of any kind.

This was quite foreseeable from the first day of the war, because that’s the way the last two wars ended too. They have all been fought mainly to serve the domestic politi-

cal interests of the two governments, rather than to force real concessions out of the other.

Hamas’s strategic situation is peculiar: it is very weak and cannot hurt Israel, but it is virtually indestructible. Israel can hammer the population of the Gaza Strip as much as it likes, but that will only strengthen their support for Hamas. Whereas Israel is enormously powerful, but cannot defeat Hamas unless it is willing to re-occupy the Gaza Strip — which would lead to a steady and ultimately intolerable drain of casualties among the occupying Israeli troops.

The moves in this relationship are as stately and predictable as a minuet. When Hamas is under political pressure at home and needs a distraction, it launches a few rockets at Israel or provides some other provocation that the Israeli government cannot ignore. Then the Israeli government, under irresistible domestic pressure to “do something”, launches some airstrikes, and the dance of death recommences.

Stopping is more difficult, because there’s no music to give you the signal by coming to an end. In terms of domestic politics, both sides have already accomplished what they came for — but since neither can acknowledge publicly that that’s all the war was really about, they end up raising wholly unrealistic demands at the cease-fire talks. That’s why the negotiations in Cairo ended in failure: nobody has won, so nobody can have prizes.

Now that the shooting has started up again, there may be a few more hundred deaths — but probably not another thousand, because the fighting really is going to end soon. It just won’t end with a political deal, and perhaps not even with a formal cease-fire. More likely it will just sort of peter out, like these things sometimes do.

Until next time.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Wake Enhancement

New technology has brought fun and anger to the lakes in the form of powerful wake enhancement boats that produce large wakes for “surfing” behind. Those on board have fun; those in smaller boats, fishing, in canoes or kayaks, or on docks by shore don’t share the joy. Two to three foot waves pound the shoreline.

Boats in Moyie Lake have been sunk while moored at docks. Docks are being destroyed. The water on shoreline swimming areas is heavily muddied. The situation is further exacerbated by operators who love to cruise by close to shore.

A further problem is the probable introduction of invasive species of flora and fauna to previously native ecosystems. By filling ballast tanks and NOT fully cleansing them when moving wake boats from other lakes, alien species are spread. Moyie Lake now has sunfish, perch, shiners and new plant species that have been identified recently. They didn’t fly there!

Surely all users of lakes need to become aware of the huge impact these wake enhancement boats are having on our Kootenay waters. A serious discussion of these issues is imperative so all can share the pleasures of summer on the lake.

Chickens, et al

Thank-you Mr. Pratt for your Letter to the Editor. I appreciate your interest in Cranbrook and the opportunity it provides for me, as Mayor, to help inform the community.

It has been great to see the correspondence coming into Council from residents of all ages both for and against legalizing the keeping of chickens in Cranbrook.

There are a number of cities in B.C. that allow citizens to keep a limited number of hens for eggs under very specific conditions, so one could argue that the research has already been done and it can work.

However we want to explore the issue in a more holistic manner.

At the regular meeting of August 18, 2014, Council approved a motion I put forward to “add the development of an Urban Agricultural Strategy to the list of priority projects for consideration in the City’s 2015 Corporate Workplan and budget discussions.” This strategy, which will include public involvement, will look at how we can encourage food security, support low income families with healthy locally grown fresh food, and benefit our economy. Chickens will form part of that discussion. I look forward to hearing the community’s views and ideas on the potential for urban agriculture in Cranbrook.

We budget $3,000,000 a year for roads in Cranbrook plus $123,000 specifically in 2014 for pothole repairs. Each year the first one percent of any property tax increase goes to fund road repairs.

The $200,000 allocated to redoing Clocktower Square, which is one of our city’s key features, includes replacing a main waterline under the square. The city consulted with the Downtown Business Association on the design and we look forward to a warm and welcoming community space that will also attract tourists.

The total cost of removing the asbestos from the old Fire Hall is around $110,000, slightly under budget. The good news is that this venerable historic building is now poised to take on a new important role in the revitalization of downtown Cranbrook!

The $74,000 for 14th Avenue included benches, bollards, and garbage receptacles. I personally think 11 benches may be overkill and have asked staff to monitor usage with the idea of potentially moving

some of the benches to other locations in the city. We have lots of need for benches around Cranbrook! The pedestrian pathway and the bioswales along 14th Ave. are effective in keeping pedestrians, cyclists and water off the street. Staff has been working to improve the look and the condition of the bioswales, which were becoming weed infested.

We listen to the concerns of our residents and do our best to respond as staff time and budgets permit, and our Council meetings reflect that. The budgeting process that identified the projects referred to

by Mr. Pratt came about through a series of public council meetings with an opportunity for public review and input before the budget was finalized. I encourage all of our citizens to participate in that process to see just how difficult it is to meet the public’s interests and desires, as every community is a collection of people with personal preferences and special interests.

That’s what makes being Mayor or a Councillor both challenging and interesting!

Mayor Wayne Stetski Cranbrook

FASD Awareness Day BreakFASD A m a n da C a s e y

International FASD Day occurs on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year, to symbolize the nine months of abstinence from drugs and alcohol during pregnancy.

On Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014, beginning at 9am, come join Axis Family Resources Ltd.’s FASD Key Worker and Parent Support Program, in collaboration with Bellies to Babies, Supported Child Development, East Kootenay Addiction Services, CAPC, and Paqmi Nuqyuk for a Pancake BreakFASD at Rotary Park in Cranbrook.

From 9 a.m. until 11 a.m., event organizers encourage the community to join in FASD Awareness Day to enjoy: • free pancakes; • speeches from individuals affected

by FASD; • information on how you can support women in making healthy choices during pregnancy to prevent FASD; • what services are available to support children with FASD; • who to contact if you are affected or

live with someone affected by FASD. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, or FASD, is an umbrella term that describes the wide range of physical, behavioural and intellectual disabilities that occur in the fetus from consuming alcohol while pregnant. FASD is the leading cause of developmental and cognitive disabilities among children in North America.

It was once widely believed that the placenta could filter out all toxins so that the developing fetus would not be affected. What we know now is that alcohol crosses the placenta freely and can cause FASD. Many women who consumed alcohol during pregnancy were unaware of the harm it can cause. About half of the pregnancies in Canada are unplanned, and most women don’t know they are pregnant until at least 6 weeks in or longer – so they may not know they are pregnant and could be drinking.

Even if a woman has consumed alcohol early in pregnancy there are many opportunities to enhance her health and the health of her infant for the duration of

Letters to the Editor

her pregnancy. These include getting adequate rest, watching her nutrition, and keeping up with regular medical check-ups. Being part of a community working together to reduce the stigma surrounding the disability makes help more accessible.

Please join us in Rotary Park, September 9, 2014 at 9am to show your support and enjoy a pancake BreakFASD. If you would like more information about this event, or would like to know how you can participate in FASD Awareness Day, please contact Amanda Casey at 250-4894074 extension 227.

Klassen keeps moving Nelson native to ride Gran Fondo at age of 90 Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Photo Submitted

On Sept. 3, Nelson’s Mathilde Klassen (pictured above) turns 90. On Sept. 7, she will attempt to become the oldest rider in an organized Gran Fondo bicycling event.

CFL commissioner to step down following season Donna Spencer Canadian Press

One of the CFL’s longest-serving commissioners is leaving the post.

Mark Cohon will not return for a third term when his current contract expires in April 2015. Now in his eighth season as CFL commissioner, only Jake Gaudaur (1968-1984) and Sydney Halter (1958-1966) have held the position as long.

Cohon, 48, says he made the announcement now to give the

CFL’s board of governors time to recruit his replacement.

A lucrative television deal, the return of Ottawa to the CFL, labour peace until 2018, a more stringent drug-testing policy and new stadium projects in Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Hamilton and Ottawa will be among Cohon’s legacies.

The weak position of the Argonauts and expansion into Atlantic Canada are unfinished business for Cohon, and a concussion lawsuit against the CFL was filed

last month.

Cohon says he will continue to work on improving the Argos’ situation before he departs.

He took over as commissioner in 2007 from Tom Wright and signed a contract extension in February 2012.

During the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto he told reporters “I’m happy where I am, I’m challenged and I hope to be around for a while.’’

But Cohon says he’s checked off the important items on a checklist he compiled in 2007.

Is there room in your family for another hockey player?

The five-year television deal with TSN and RDS worth a reported $40 million per year gives the CFL unprecedented financial stability. The labour unrest the deal created was resolved in June with a new five-year collective bargaining agreement.

Cohon is working with Argonauts owner David Braley to get the team out of the Rogers Centre and into the more fan-friendly environment at BMO Field.

He says his successor must know how to work with “strong personalities’’ and build consensus among league owners. $25.00 limited availability

At the tender young age of 90, Nelson’s Mathilde Klassen is about to do something many people half her age only wish they could achieve.

Klassen turns 90 years young Sept. 3. She has registered to ride in the 2nd annual Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo bicycle ride Sunday, Sept. 7 where she will cruise a cool 57 km along the Piccolo Fondo portion of the event.

“The hardest thing about about any exercise is getting out and doing it,” Klassen said Wednesday afternoon.

“I could have 25 excuses every time not to go in this moment.

“Make the effort to go.

Whatever it is. If you’re going swimming or you’re going running or whatever…Keep moving and do it. There’s a lot of pleasure to it.”

Born in Sainte Rose du Lac, Man., now a town of 1,023 people located approximately 280 km northwest of Winnipeg, Klassen grew up on a farm and said

she first took to cycling strictly as a means for transportation. Whether it was to ride around the property or get into town to run errands, her bicycle served an important purpose in her formative years.

It wasn’t until the age of 50 that Klassen began chasing longer endurance rides similar to the Gran Fondo. More than 20 years ago, at the age of 69, she jumped on her bike and completed a ride that took her right across Canada.

Klassen won’t be alone in her quest to become the oldest person to participate in a Gran Fondo organized cycling event. Joining her on the trails will be six of her seven children as well as five grandchildren.

“The big message is just to keep moving and start when you’re young, strong and healthy, and you’ll stay that way,” Klassen said. “Start anytime, it doesn’t matter.”

The Gran Fondo features three rides — the Piccolo Fondo, Medio Fondo and Gran Fondo — all of which begin and end at St. Eugene

Golf Resort & Casino outside of Cranbrook.

The Piccolo Fondo spans 57 km from the golf course to the North Star Rails to Trails pathway system. The Medio Fondo, a 102-km ride, takes cyclists from St. Eugene along Rails to Trails before cruising past Fort Steele. The Gran Fondo is a gruelling 152-km ride. All three rides also travel through Kimberley.

If you want to join Klassen on her ride, registration for the Gran Fondo is open until Aug. 31 at 11:59 p.m. (MST) and can be done online by visiting www.krgf.ca.

Last year, 260 riders registered for the event.

Registration for the 2014 edition of the Gran Fondo has already surpassed that mark.

Riders can commit to the Piccolo ride for $119, the Medio ride for $159 or the Gran Fondo for $179.

The Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo is presented by Taylor Adams Chartered Accountants and organized by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club.

Bandits wrap season with awards banquet Tre vor Cr awley Daily Townsman

The Bandits wrapped up their season reflecting on their state championship and handing out team awards on Sunday afternoon.

With the championship banner hanging up, head coach Paul Mrazek congratulated each player for their effort throughout the season and thanked parents and volunteers for their support over the season.

“End of season windup and the awards is always great and being able to recognize these top players, but this year especially, with having such a good year with a lot of success, winning state [championship], everyone is still pretty excited about that,” said Mrazek.

The parents and volunteers are especially important, considering the behind-the-scenes fundraising cuts the cost of having a player in the program by half—from

$3,000 to roughly $1,400.

“If we didn’t have all these people volunteering their time, then we might not even have a program—we might not have a team here in Cranbrook,” said Mrazek. “Or the other thing that could happen is it would cost twice as much to play. The people that really take the lead on various areas, such as concession or fundraising, it’s huge.

You can’t run this program or any high-level rep team without that.”

Year-end awards are a chance for players to have some closure and reflect on their accomplishments over the season, said Tyler Thorn, who picked up Pitcher of the Year and Most Dedicated.

“It’s just a really good time getting back together with the guys and the good criticism we get from the coaches, it’s a really good thing to hear,” said Thorn. “It’s an honour to take home a few awards, just to be

recognized for the effort that I put in during the season, and the other guys who picked up awards, too.”

Kei Chlopan and Connor Armstrong shared Rookie of the Year honours, Brandon Ouillette earned Best Defensive Player and Devon Marra picked up both Best Offensive Player and MVP. At the beginning of the year, Mrazek hauled in a group of his older players, which included Marra and Thorn, and gave them leadership responsibilities.

“I think I did a pretty good job making all the new kids feel comfortable and encouraging them…just not letting them get down and keeping them up was good in helping them get better,” said Marra.

Marra, who pitched and played short stop this year, will be heading off to the Prairie Baseball Academy in Lethbridge this September for some college level

ball that will hopefully lead to scholarship opportunities in the U.S. Due to his age, he will still be able to return to the Bandits next spring.

In fact, everyone on the roster this year is eligible to return, which will be key for continued success out on the field next season, according to Mrazek.

“Devon’s going to come back from playing at PBA a lot stronger, so players should feed off of that,” Mrazek said.

“We did change some things around and it was successful, so our hitting system works well, our base running, our bunting, squeezing, all that…the extra one-onone time, having specialties every day for an extra hour.

“We practiced about 50 per cent more than last year. It seemed to work and we’ll keep going.”

Players are still riding the high of winning the state championship a few weeks ago, and

Thorn is already looking forward to next year, knowing that the Cranbrook team is going to have a target on it’s back.

“It’s just a really good feeling to know that you’re the top team and I’m really looking forward to next year,” he said, “because everybody is going to be gunning for us, we’re going to be the team to beat.

It’s going to be way more intense next year.”

Blue Jays outslug Brewers in Milwaukee Genaro C. Armas Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Jose Bautista’s three-run homer capped a fiverun sixth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays outslugged Milwaukee 9-5 Wednesday, snapping the Brewers’ five-game winning streak.

Bautista hit a 1-2 pitch from reliever Brandon Kintzler into the Brewers’ bullpen in right field. The homer made a winner of R.A. Dickey (10-12), who

Dickey left after Carlos Gomez’s two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth made it 7-5.

Colby Rasmus also homered for Toronto, which outhit the NL Central leaders 15-10.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week August 17 - 23

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1898 A Railroad Event … Exactly at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon, August 13, the first train of cars to cross the Kootenay river in South East Kootenay stopped at the west end of the bridge at this point, and the event that had been looked for many, many mouths has at last come to pass. Conductor Lockhart was in charge of the train, and H. Brock was at the throttle and Fireman Campbell at the furnace door. In the cab was Herbert Connell, nephew of Divisional Engineer Garden, and F. E. Simpson. On the west shore a goodly portion of the population of Wardner was in waiting, and as the five cars, heavily loaded with railroad iron, pushed slowly across the new bridge, its progress was watched with intense interest.

At last Wardner has a railroad. And how that road did grow after it had crossed the bridge. By sundown the great force of men and the steel horse had passed through the town and reaching out for Cranbrook, where they will be by Thursday or Friday of this week.

Wholesale Liquors and Cigars ... Mr. Joe Mitchell, of Winnipeg, is in town, representing Edward L Drewry, the brewer. It is the intention of Mr. Drewry to establish a

branch wholesale house here with Mr. Mitchell in charge, having in stock liquors, cigars, and all descriptions of saloon goods. Mr. Mitchell is arranging preliminaries, looking for a site upon which to build, and soon after the arrival of the railroad will be doing business.

A Good Time … A very pleasant evening was enjoyed by a number of invited guests last Monday, in honour of Miss Jessie Burge, of Kalispell, Montana, at the residence of Miss Brule, where the party were treated to an enjoyable phonograph concert.

Bars … The wire cage, which encloses the cashier in the branch bank of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, has arrived and is in place. It is a handsome piece of work and Constable Cole is wishing he could confiscate it for a jail.

1899 North Star Branch … Work is going ahead on the North Star Branch, and outfits and supplies are being taken in as rapidly as possible. Considerable difficulty is being experienced in securing enough men, as the demand for labour throughout Canada has largely increased. Most of the camps have been built and the work of grading is being pushed forward. The contractors are anxious to take advantage of the good weather, and, if possible to get through before the heavy weather of late fall

Boys’ Suits … At the Toronto Clothing Store. A line of Boy’s Suits bought for cash, at a sacrifice, will be sold while they last for $2.50 a Suit. These suits are well worth $3.50. Don’t miss them. They can’t last long. Reid & Co. Men Wanted ... Men wanted to cut about 20,000 cedar posts. Good timber. Price 3 cents. Further particulars apply to H. Pollard, Goatfell, B.C. School Will Open Monday …

The Cranbrook School will open in Miner’s old storeroom next Monday. E. J. Dutton, of Nelson, has been secured as the teacher. He arrived last week expecting to commence his work this week. The delay was caused by the necessity of making certain improvements in the schoolroom.

Jailed … Annie Wood, who was tried for stabbing “Red” McLeod at Argenta, was given six months in the Nelson jail.

1900 A Small Meteor ... Last Friday night E. A. Watts, while returning to his Palmer Bar ranch, met with a strange experience. When about three miles from town he heard a hissing sound, accompanied by a bright light, when he immediately found himself surrounded by what appeared to be numerous balls of fire, apparently without substance other than gas. His horse became frightened, and shying nearly unseated his rider. The flames or light

disappeared as quickly as it came but whether it was the falling trail of a meteor or not, Mr. Watts is unable to state, not being able to see anything like a central body or nucleus from which the fiery shower might have emanated, nor did he hear anything strike the ground. About that time a very brilliant meteor passed over Cranbrook at a very low altitude and was observed by Messrs. Taylor, McMullin, Harry McVittie and others, coming from the north to the south, which would correspond with the direction from which Mr. Watts’ unwelcome visitors came.

Moyie School … The Moyie School opened last Monday with 30 children in attendance and with Mr. Sutherland in charge. The school building is entirely too small for the accommodation of the children.

Charged … Charles Morris took a 22 rifle this week to enforce the collection of a small debt; it was said to have been unloaded but just the same Charles will have to pay a fine of $20 or do 30 days hard labour in jail at Nelson.

1901 IT’S THE FURNITURE …Heavy white enamelled full size iron beds, from $6 up; Hardwood beds from $4 up; Dressers; large German bevel plate glass from $9.75 up; Rockers from $1.25 up; we have sold a lot of carpets this season and have just received about another

ton, beautiful styles and prices the lowest ever named in Cranbrook.

Call and see how little it will cost you to supply your house furnishing needs. Sales running well up on Dry Goods, Groceries, Shoes, Hardware, Paints Wall Paper, Etc. If you want perfect satisfaction Trade at Gilpin’s Police Work … “Baldy” Morris is one of the best-known men in the district. In former days before he became so corpulent, Mr. Morris was a member of the Mounted Police in the territories. The story is told that he, with others, were setting some posts about the barracks.

It was new work to “Baldy,” but after seeing how it was done he dug half a dozen post holes, but forgetting to put in the posts, filled them in with dirt and had each one tamped down before he discovered his mistake.

Wanted ... Fifty men. Wages $2.50 a day. Board $5.50 per week.

See Hutch.

A Private School ... Mrs. Rowlandson will open her private school for children next Monday.

The rates are $2 a month for one child, $3.50 for two from the same family. The hours are from 11 to 3.

During the past year Mrs. Rowlandson has conducted a very successful school for the young, and the parents are well satisfied. She will be able to take a limited number of pupils this year, and as in the past, will give them her personal attention.

If you love scuba diving, a must-see is the famous Great Blue Hole, a diving site at the centre of a small atoll 70 km (43 miles) out from the coast. This underwater mecca has been called one of the top ten scuba diving sites in the world and was ranked by Discovery Channel as number one on its list of The 10 Most Amazing Places on Earth (That’s a pretty great distinction).

It’s the best of historical and eco-tourism combined.

Another huge reason to see Belize is the beach life found along its coastline of 290 kilometres (180 miles) and nearly 200 small offcoast islands or cayes.

Ambergris Caye is the largest of these islands and has several resorts, as well as many miles

One of the best reasons for visiting Belize is its staggering amount of Mayan ruins. At one time, as many as a million Mayans lived here, so there’s no shortage of temples and sites to explore.

Very often news is shared first with PTA members and parents who attend regular meetings. * Serve as role models. Active involvement with your child’s school demonstrates to your child and others that you place an emphasis on the importance of education. * Impart change. The PTA can be a way to voice opinions, enact new programs and offer feedback about particular programs or lesson plans. * Meet new people. A new school year is not just a time for students to make new friends. Parents often find their closest friends are parents with similar interests and ideals. Joining the PTA can put you in touch with others who enjoy volunteering and getting involved with the school. * Get to know the educators. In addition to meeting other parents and creating a school-based network, getting involved with the PTA is great opportunity to develop a rapport with teachers, aides and even the principal. Being a familiar face inside of school walls can be advantageous to you and your child. * Earn discounts and offers. Schools that are part of a national PTA network may receive discounts and benefits from providers and sponsors.

Members may be eligible for discounts on magazine subscriptions, books, insurance, and much more.

Back to SChool How to help kids transition back to the classroom

T

he dawn of a new school year is an exciting time. Kids may not want to say goodbye to days spent lounging by the pool, but such disappointment is often tempered by the prospect of returning to school with friends.

For parents, getting kids ready for a new school year is about more than updating their wardrobe or organizing carpools with fellow parents. Re acclimating kids to the routine of school after a relaxing summer is a significant undertaking, and the following are a handful of ways for parents to get a head start as the school year draws closer. * Establish a routine over the last few weeks of summer. Summer vacations typically lack the structure of the school year, and that lack of structure can help kids unwind and make the most of the freedom that summer vacation provides. But as summer starts to wind down, parents can begin to reintroduce some structure into their kids’ lives to make the transition back to school go more smoothly.

Plan morning activities so kids can readjust to waking up early each day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time you typically serve it during the school year so kids’ bodies can begin to readjust as well.

* Take kids along when shopping for school supplies. If you plan to buy your child a new computer or other supplies for the upcoming school year, take him or her along on your shopping trips.

Kids who get to choose their supplies might be more excited about returning to school than those youngsters who are given what they need without offering their input.

start on the new school year by trying out for sports teams. Such tryouts often commence a week or two before a school year is scheduled to begin, and this can help kids ease their way back into the school year. But even non athletes can begin pursuing extracurricular activities before the first school bell of the year rings. Theater programs may begin auditions or encourage interested youngsters to attend orientation meetings before the dawn of the school year, and such sessions can be a great and pressure-free way for kids to ready themselves for a new school year.

* Monitor or assign summer reading.

Many students are given summer reading lists to keep their minds sharp over the summer and prepare them for upc o m i n g cours ew ork.

Parents should monitor kids’ progress on such reading lists and even discuss the books with their kids when possible. Read the books along with them if you think it will help engage them. If kids were not assigned summer reading lists at the end of the school year, assign your own books, rewarding kids when they finish a new book. Kids who read throughout the summer may be more likely to start the school year off on the right foot than those who don’t crack a book all summer.

The arrival of a new school year can be both exciting and daunting. But parents can help their youngsters readjust to school in various ways after a relaxing summer.

* Encourage kids to sign up for extracurricular activities. Many school-aged athletes get a head

he benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among schoolaged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions.

* Limit fat intake. Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. The American Heart Association recommends kids get no more than 25 to 35 percent of their calories from fat. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources. * Let kids choose some of their food. Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods.

Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps.

Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day.

Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired.

How to help distracted students

T

oday’s students have more gadgets at their disposal than ever before.

As technology like tablets and smartphones have become more prevalent in the lives of adults, such devices also have become more commonplace in the classroom. Some kids thrive when teachers utilize technology to enhance lesson plans, while others may be distracted by access to technology.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common childhood disorders. ADHD can make it difficult for kids to maintain focus in the classroom, and that focus may be enhanced or further compromised by technology that’s capable of serving many different functions. Kids who use the technology to their advantage may find it improves their ability to grasp lessons, but some kids may be distracted by devices or even other items in the classroom that make it difficult for them to absorb lessons. Parents concerned about their kids’ ability to cope with distractions in the classroom and at home can take the following steps in an effort to help youngsters improve their academic performance. * Speak to your child’s teacher about seating assignments. Students who find it difficult to focus in the classroom may benefit from new seating assignments. Windows or high-traffic areas of the classroom, such as doorways, can compromise a student’s ability to focus. In addition, the back of the classroom is not the ideal spot for youngsters who find it difficult to focus on the teacher, as teachers may not notice kids in the back of the class as readily as they might with students sitting in the front of the room. * Encourage participation. Many teachers recognize the value of active participation in the classroom, but kids who are struggling to focus may shy away from participating because they are worried about embarrassing themselves in front of their classmates. Parents and teachers can work with students to en.

participate in class may help them focus more on the lessons being discussed.

* Consider playing games designed to improve attention and focus. Games designed to improve attention can be a fun way for parents to help their youngsters conquer their concentration issues. For example, the creators behind Lumosity. com collaborated with researchers from universities around the world in an effort to design games to improve visual attention in people of various ages and backgrounds. Few kids are not enamored with games, and games to improve focus and attention may help kids without making them feel as though they are back in a classroom. Parents can speak with their child’s teacher to determine which games might be best suited for their youngsters.

* Minimize distractions at home. Kids who have no trouble focusing in the classroom may find it’s a whole different ballgame when they arrive home to study or do their homework. Mom and Dad no doubt have their own gadgets around the house,

2014/15 Session & Registration Monday, Sept. 8, 2014

School Districts 5 and 6 invite families throughout the East Kootenay to host one or two international students starting this fall. Most students are from Germany, Mexico, Brazil and Japan, will be studying in Grades 8 to 12, and will be staying either for one semester or one school year. We encourage empty-nester parents or any family to consider hosting two students from different countries. Such double placements are consistently very successful. Host families receive a tax-free allowance each month per student, and weekend and/or vacation coverage is available.

and such devices as well as television may be too difficult for youngsters to ignore. At home, parents can create a safe haven from distraction by designating a room or area of the house for schoolwork.

Such areas should be clear of distractions like television, telephones, video game consoles, and other gadgets that can compromise a student’s focus.

Make such areas off limits to cellular phones and block social media websites from computers in such rooms so kids aren’t tempted to spend study time chatting with friends online. If a child’s study area is not in a separate room of the house, parents should avoid turning on the television until kids have finished their studies for the night.

Recognizing the signs of dyslexia

C

hildren begin learning to read early in their education. Very often some children seem to excel at reading and writing, while others may struggle. The obstacles kids struggle with may disappear as they age and grow more accustomed to reading, but no such relief comes for kids struggling with dyslexia.

The Mayo Clinic defines dyslexia as a learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading. It is a common condition and does not mean a child has subpar vision or intelligence. Dyslexia often goes undiagnosed, and many kids reach adulthood before realizing they are dyslexic. According to Dyslexia Health, 70 to 80 percent of people with poor reading skills are likely to be dyslexic, and dyslexia is the most common cause of difficulties with reading, spelling and writing.

ficulty summarizing stories, managing time or learning a foreign language.

Treatment There are no medications to correct the underlying brain abnormality that doctors feel causes dyslexia, but there are various treatment methods. Practice and repetition are some of the hallmarks of dyslexia therapy. Rather than standard lessons, individuals with dyslexia may need multi-sensory lessons that combine sight, touch and sounds when introducing new concepts. Screen readers and audio books can also help children learn how to read

Very often it is difficult to recognize dyslexia before a child enters school. There may be some early clues, but these are not always definitive. Potential clues include learning to talk late, having difficulty learning new words and exhibiting difficulty rhyming words.

Dyslexia is a common learning disability that affects many children and adults. But therapy and emotional support can help people with dyslexia overcome their disabilities.

Causes of dyslexia

Symptoms

In the classroom, children may need more time to complete assignments. Teachers should be made aware of a dyslexia diagnosis so they can work with students and parents to develop a learning system that works. Practicing reading different types of texts also can help.

College of the Rockies

Dyslexia affects people in various ways. While some may experience only minor symptoms, others may have greater difficulties, including problems with grammar, recognizing left from right and trouble with complex language skills. Without help, children with dyslexia can easily grow discouraged with their studies. However, with therapy, many kids can learn to work around their dyslexia.

Dyslexia has been linked to improper genetic development in the brain. It tends to run in families and affects the parts of the brain responsible for language development. There are no surefire ways to predict if a person will have dyslexia. However, in families with high rates of the condition, there is a greater risk.

Mount Polley spill may be left in place Tom Fletcher Black Press

Further tests of mine tailings spilled down a creek bed from the Mount Polley mine will determine whether the metal-bearing sand will be removed or left where it is, Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said this week.

The first lab tests on sediment samples at the mouth of Hazeltine Creek showed that while the material that poured down to the creek mouth in Quesnel Lake isn’t a health hazard to humans, its iron and copper content are above federal and provincial standards for aquatic life.

Bennett said it’s encouraging that the first sediment results did not show presence of arsenic, mercury or cadmium, toxic elements found in mine rock or used in mine processing.

A comparison sample of compact sediment from the mouth of nearby Raft Creek, not affected by the Aug. 4 tailings pond breach, also tested above sediment quality guidelines for iron.

The environment ministry says mineral deposits that attract mine development often have naturally occurring metal concentra-

tions much higher than other areas.

“What we need to do is test those sediments to determine whether it’s better environmentally to leave them there or to try to collect them and get them out of the creek bed and get them out of the creek mouth in Quesnel Lake,” Bennett said. “Before you start dredging lake bottoms and trying to clean up the bottom of a creek bed to get the sand out, you’ve got to determine what the risk is first, and that’s the phase that we’re in right now.”

There are two priority jobs underway on the spill site.

One is pumping down the level of Polley Lake, the smaller lake next to the mine site that received a surge of water and tailings that plugged the outlet with an elevated water level.

The other is reconstructing the breached section of the dam to prevent rain from carrying more tailings from the pond.

Interior Health is reviewing water and sediment sample results and a long-term monitoring and remediation plan has been submitted by the mine operator, a division of Imperial Metals.

Neanderthals may have had ‘ample time’ to mix with modern humans

Nirmal a George ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fr ank Jordans ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW DELHI — Indian yoga guru B.K.S. Iyengar, who helped popularize yoga around the world and wrote 14 books on the subject, died Wednesday at age 95.

Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar’s death was reported on his website as well as by major Indian TV stations, which said he had been hospitalized with a kidney ailment over the past week in the western city of Pune.

Born in a poor family in Bellur village in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, Iyengar was a sickly child who suffered multiple illnesses including typhoid and tuberculosis.

When he was 15, a relative introduced him to yoga in an attempt to build his resistance to disease. By the time he was 18, he moved to Pune to practice yoga and to teach its techniques to others.

Iyengar created his own brand of yoga, called “Iyengar yoga,” and established studios in 72 countries where yoga practitioners are taught ways to improve breathing, concentration and meditation.

By the mid-1950’s word of Iyengar yoga spread in Europe, where he began teaching many new converts, including violinist Yehudi Menuhin and author Aldous Huxley.

The popularity of Iyengar yoga spurred him to write a book called “Light on Yoga,” explaining the 216 yoga postures that formed what he called the science and art of yoga. The book became a global bestseller with more than 3 million copies sold and has since been translated into 17 languages.

Iyengar, easily recognizable by his bushy eyebrows and silvery locks of shoulder-length hair, practiced yoga until two months ago and even did headstands in his 90s.

Iyengar yoga’s physically challenging poses and breathing techniques have been adopted by mainstream medical practitioners to help patients suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure and chronic

BERLIN — Humans and Neanderthals may have coexisted in Europe for more than 5,000 years, providing ample time for the two species to meet and mix, according to new research.

Using new carbon dating techniques and mathematical models, researchers examined about 200 samples found at 40 sites from Spain to Russia, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature.

They concluded with a high probability that pockets of Neanderthal culture survived until between 41,030 and 39,260 years ago.

Although this puts the disappearance of Neanderthals earlier than some scientists previously thought, the findings support the idea that they lived alongside humans, who arrived in Europe about 45,000-43,000 years ago.

“We believe we now have the first robust timeline that sheds new light on some of the key questions around the possible interactions between Neanderthals and modern humans,” said Thomas Higham, an archaeologist at the University of Oxford who led the study.

While it’s known that Neanderthal genes have survived in the DNA of many modern humans to this day, suggesting that at least some interbreeding took place, scientists

In 2004, Iyengar was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.

In a condolence message, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described Iyengar as “a fine guru, scholar and a stalwart who brought yoga into the lives of many across the world.”

President Pranab Mukherjee said, “The nation has lost a personality who devoted his entire life to the teaching and dissemination of India’s ancient knowledge and wisdom to millions all around the world.”

are still unclear about the extent of their contact and the reasons why Neanderthals vanished.

“These new results confirm a long-suspected chronological overlap between the last Neanderthals and the first modern humans in Europe,” said Jean-Jacques Hublin, director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, who wasn’t involved in the study.

Apart from narrowing the length of time that the two species existed alongside each other to between 2,600 and 5,400 years, Higham and his colleagues also believe they have shown that Neanderthals and humans largely kept to themselves.

“What we don’t see is that there is spatial overlap (in where they settled),” said Higham.

This is puzzling, because there is evidence that late-stage Neanderthals were culturally influenced by modern humans.

Samples taken from some Neanderthal sites include artifacts that look like those introduced to Europe by humans migrating from Africa.

This would point to the possibility that Neanderthals — whose name derives from a valley in western Germany — adopted certain human habits and technologies even as they were being gradually pushed out of their territory.

Former US lab worker sentenced in conspiracy to sell nuke secrets ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A former Los Alamos National Laboratory contractor has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for conspiring with her physicist husband to sell nuclear secrets.

The Justice Department on Wednesday announced the sentencing of 71-year-old Marjorie Roxby Mascheroni, who pleaded guilty to charges accusing the couple of plotting to communicate classified nuclear weapons data to an undercover agent who

they thought was a Venezuelan government official.

Her husband, 79-year-old Pedro Leonardo Mascheroni, has also pleaded guilty in the case and is in federal custody pending his sentencing.

He was a scientist at the lab from 1979 to 1988. She did technical writing and editing from 1981 to 2010.

Prosecutors say both held security clearances that allowed them access to certain classified information and restricted data.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have a question for parents.

Why, when the kids’ soccer, football or baseball games are over, do the parents open up the trunks of their cars and get out the beer?

Tailgate parties with alcohol do not belong at children’s events.

When my children played sports, we went out for ice cream. Alcohol was not permitted before or after. What kind of behavior is this teaching our children? Where are the police? They have to know this is happening.

Their children play sports, too. Not to mention, these same parents put their children in the car and drive home after drinking in the parking lot. Please explain this to me. -Concerned Grandparent Dear Concerned: There is no rational explanation. These parents are irresponsible and idiotic. The organizations or schools that sponsor the sports should issue rules about parental behavior before, during and immediately after the games, and you (or the parents of your grandchildren) should request that it be done.

Dear Annie: My niece recently married her live-in boyfriend. They chose to marry in another country, but didn’t send any announcements or invitations. That’s fine, because it was expensive.

When one aunt who could afford the plane fare and hotel asked whether she could attend, she was told “no.” The only guests were the parents. The aunt was deeply hurt. I felt bad for her and angry with the bridal couple for being so rude. When they returned to the states, another family member asked whether there would be a reception and was told there wouldn’t be.

Now they are hinting for presents. My sister-in-law asked me to go in with her to purchase a rather expensive gift, and I refused because of the way they treated the aunt.

My family is angry with me. Frankly, I never want to hear from that niece again. Am I wrong? -- Ex-Auntie Dear Ex: Yes. The bridal couple can invite whomever they wish, and if they choose a small, immediate-family-only wedding with no stateside reception, that is up to them.

The aunt was wrong to ask for an invitation simply because she could afford it. If they wanted extended family to be there, they would have invited everyone.

For most folks, if you are not invited to a wedding, you are not obligated to give a gift.

But this is family, and yours is trying to be gracious and happy for the newlyweds by giving a gift. If you don’t wish to contribute, that’s up to you. But please don’t cut off your niece because you didn’t approve of her guest list. At least send a card with your best wishes.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “California Dreamin’, whose husband is overweight. My husband and I have been married for 49 years, and he, too, has gained a considerable amount of weight.

I try to cook healthy meals, but my efforts are sabotaged when he adds butter and salt.

He has been counseled by his physician many times, to no avail. Twelve years ago, he had a massive hemorrhagic stroke that left him with severe deficits. Yet he continues to refuse to do what is needed to be as healthy and mobile as he can be. He is comfortable sitting in his chair watching TV. This has put an incredible amount of strain on me. I can’t tell you how much time, effort and money has been spent helping him to be more mobile with less physical stress on my fibromyalgic body. But I love this man with my whole heart. I take our marriage vows seriously, and I cannot imagine my life without him. I will continue to care for him until death do us part. I am not writing for sympathy. I accept my life as a gift from God, and I accept caregiving as my gift to others. -- Still in Love Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

and readied for Delphina to cook up for a tasty meal. Although he didn’t fly fish, he taught his son Frank Jr. how to tie flies. He was very proud of his son Frank Jr. and the father that he has become. He taught his grandsons to shake hands at a very early age. He would say “make sure to shake strong and look them in the eye”; by example, a work ethic that will live on.

When Carol Ann started to hone her shopping skills, and brought home another treasure, he would always say: “Carol Ann”, she would quickly respond “was only a dollar Dad”. It became a long standing line the two shared. It always brought a giggle. Being a man of many talents he showed Carmen (age 10 at the time) how to mend one of his work socks. That became her job, as well as turning the collars/ cuffs on his shirts for many years.

Volunteering was always important to him. An annual fishing derby for children hosted by the Cranbrook Fire Fighters was a high-light for 30 plus years. He would be in charge of serving orange aid drinks from a keg. Somehow he kept track of how many children he served, and always commented about his orange thumb at the end of the day.

Frank had a generous spirit. He quietly helped many people, probably more than any of us realize. He was always concerned for his family and hoped that they would take care of themselves. His motto: your body is meant to move. Physical fitness, and healthy eating was always so important to him, and he certainly walked the talk. He has impacted many lives and will be missed by 188 Colonna descendants.

Frank was predeceased by his wife of 50 years Delphina Pecora Colonna (2001); granddaughter Samantha Colonna (1997); parents Camillo Colonna (1938), Filomena Misurelli (1984); siblings, their spouses and nephews: John Colonna (1983), sisterin-law Beatrice Dunn Colonna (1980); Vincenzina Colonna Chiarizo (1996); brother-in-law Carmen Chiarizo (1999); Louis Colonna (1999), sister-in-law Amy Watson Colonna (1998); Carmel Colonna (2007); niece Eileen Marie Chiarizio (2003); and nephews Roland Colonna (1986), David Bingham (1998), Don Caponero (1998) and Tom Dolan (2011). He was also

predeceased by his in-laws: Frank Pecora (1976) Mary Mazzuca Pecora (1997); brother-in-law Jim Pecora (2007); sister-in-law Emma Yeager Pecora (1993); and nephew Gary Maddison (2006).

Frank and Delphina are survived by three children: Carmen (Neil Weber), Carol Ann (Dennis Charpentier), and Frank Jr. (E-J Boyd); five grandsons: David, Scott, Jon, James, Joshua; one granddaughter Gabrielle; and his great grandchildren: Audrey, Hayley and Trenten. Also surviving Frank are his sister-in-law Mary Colonna; his brothers-in-law Orlando (Wendy) Pecora, Mario (Mary) Pecora and Dan Pecora, all of Golden BC, as well as many nieces, nephews and their families.

A heart felt thank you to Frank’s nieces and nephews Phyllis and Fred Deschamps and Joyce and Glen Gunn for their special care and attention over the years shown to our father when his family was so far away.

The family would also like to thank the members of the Cranbrook Fire Department for their brotherhood and their respect shown over many years for our father - he loved his boys at the Hall; the East Kootenay Regional Hospital; Invermere Ivy House, Invermere and District Hospital; Joseph Creek Village and Care Village; to the staff for their professionalism - especially Shannon who referred to Frank as Papa. We would like to thank all of them for their caring and compassion shown to his family at such a difficult time; and Father Peter Tompkins at St. Mary’s for his prayers and guidance.

True to Frank, he has requested that no fuss be made. Hence; by his request no service or reception will be held. If you so choose, a donation in Frank’s memory may be made to: B.C Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, 463 - 4800 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC, V5H 4J2, Ph: Burn Fund 604-4365617 or burnfund.org.

FIRE FIGHTER’S PRAYER “When I am called to duty, God. Wherever flames may rage; Give me strength to save some life, Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child Before it is too late; Or save an older person from The horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert And hear the weakest shout; And quickly and efficiently.

To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and To give the best in me; To guard my every neighbour And protect his property.

And if according to your will I have to lose my life; Please bless with your protecting hand.

My children and my wife.”

Don & Katy Fedorchuk

Frank Mario Colonna

It is with deep sadness, that we announce the passing of our Father, Papa, mentor and role model, at the age of 88. It was with hard work, integrity, and faith that Frank led a remarkable, and full life.

Frank was born in Field, British Columbia on October 28th, 1925. He passed away peacefully on August 7, 2014 at Joseph Creek Care Village in Cranbrook, British Columbia. He died of natural causes with family at his side.

Frank was raised and attended school in Field, BC. He went to work for Burns Meat Market in Field at the age of 13.

His early work life took him to Banff, Fort McLeod, and Cranbrook. He was a WWII veteran serving overseas from June 1944 to April 1946 with the Canadian Army. Upon returning he went to work for Base Metal Mines in Field, BC and then Yoho National Park as a Park Warden.

Frank and Delphina Pecora married in Golden, British Columbia on July 29, 1950. They resided in Field, British Columbia and were the owners of Fields only butcher shop. As a Park Warden summers were spent living in a Wardens cabin adjacent to Lake O’Hara. While Frank kept busy maintaining, or breaking new trails for visitors to embark on, Delphina would bake delicious pies in the little cabin. As one was cooling on a high windowsill, a bear thought it pretty tasty, and scooped it! A story that became family lore, Frank loved his Yoho and never forgot those days. He hoped to return one day.

In 1957 they moved to Cranbrook, British Columbia and Frank started a job with the Cranbrook Fire Department. He became Deputy Chief in 1972 and was later to become Fire Chief retiring in 1985.

Frank was very involved in his community. He was a past President & Treasurer of the Cranbrook Rod and Gun Club, Zone representative for the Handgun Competition for the 1986 BC Summer Games, and a member of the Cranbrook District Trophy Competition for 25 years. He was also a member of the BC Wildlife Association, as well as a member of the Cranbrook Ambulance Association.

He loved the mountains, hunting, fishing, hiking and spending many summers camping with his wife Delphina and with extended family.

He was a 4th degree Knight with the Knights of Columbus, becoming a lifetime member. How handsome he was in his tux! Delphina’s eyes would light up when she saw him.

His talents as a Gun Smith were well known as he was called on many times before and after hunting season. He greatly enjoyed collecting, rebuilding and refinishing rifles, loading shells, and hanging out with ‘the boys’ in his workshop or den; not to mention many memorable hunting adventures; in the area, and in the prairies. After a fruitful day of fishing he would come home with the days catch all cleaned

WILFRED ROBERT WILLIAMS OCTOBER 24, 1931 – AUGUST 14, 2014 Wilf is survived by his soul mate and wife Mae; his children, Linda (Wayne), Bob (Stephanie), Cindy (Kerry), and Ted (Heather); 12 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren; his two sisters, Ruth (Art) and Mildred (Alan).

He was predeceased by his parents Bob and Lill, his youngest son Eric, and his grandson Mark.

Born and raised in Fernie, Wilf committed his life to his family and friends. Growing up in times of depression and world war, he learned early the importance of responsibility, hard work and reliability. These values formed the basis of his whole life and were demonstrated in his caring and kind treatment of all those he touched.

A well defined work/life balance enabled Wilf to provide the necessities for his family. The family home that he and Mae built from scratch, and lived in and loved for 50 years formed the nucleus for his growing family. His hunting, fishing, berry picking and extraordinary garden nourished them and his neighbors.

He was present to his friends with a helping hand, a kind word and a ready laugh. He valued them all – schoolmates, workmates, team mates and amigos.

In retirement Wilf continued to make contributions to his community by volunteering at the library, with the regional health board and local theatre in Fernie and Cranbrook. He and Mae enjoyed their travels across Canada, New Zealand, Hawaii, thru the Panama and, for the last 12 years, their winter home in Melaque, Mexico.

Wilf’s 50 years as a member of the Masonic Lodge, as a life member of the Power Pioneers (BC Hydro retirees) and his membership in 3 churches – Christ Churches in Fernie and Cranbrook and St. Patrick’s in Melaque, were a reflection of his strong faith and life values.

Wilf faced every challenge with courage, faith and good humor. He will be sorely missed by his family, and all those who knew him.

Memorial Tributes may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation – BC & Yukon Division, Okanagan & Kootenay Area Office, 4-1551 Sutherland Ave. Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9 or any charity of the donor’s choice.

Canadians

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

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

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.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

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.
