CCF user appalled at rotting piles of garbage BARRY COULTER

Kootenay Ice prospect Calum Humble hugs the post and braces for impact as Eric Olson (#9) and Dallas Hines (#5) come crashing into the crease during Ice training camp Wednesday morning. Ice camp continues all weekend at Western Financial Place, culminating with the annual Black & White Game at noon on Sunday. See more on Page A8.

Werner Zier of Cranbrook is a regular user of the Cranbrook Community Forest, an arboreal gem on the eastern side of town. He is used to seeing the forest mistreated by dumpers, litterers and partiers. But the latest display of disrespect was almost too much.

Someone recently used the Community Forest to dump a large amount of household type garbage. Foul, malodorous broken bags of garbage were scattered throughout the trees beside the path into the

forest, just off Highway 3. The garbage had been flung with abandon — bags had even caught in the trees and were hanging there, dripping their contents onto the ground.

“People are classless,” an angry Zier said.

“Why would they do this? They’re two minutes to the Transfer Station. I just don’t get it.”

“I want someone to go through that garbage, find a name. There’s fines for littering. At least they got them on that.”

Little old brick building gains heritage legitimacy ARNE PETRYSHEN

Cranbrook city staff will be applying for Heritage BC Legacy funding on behalf of the Cranbrook Heritage Association. The funds would go towards the restoration of the brick building behind

city hall, if the grant is successful.

“This is a good initiative by staff,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski at the Aug. 18 council meeting. “If it’s successful, the maximum grant is $25,000.”

He said that money would be quite helpful in the restoration of the brick building.

“I think it’s a good partnership between the City of Cranbrook and the people of Cranbrook,” Stetski said.

Coun. Angus Davis said

he was also in favour of it.

“This building out back here has given (The Cranbrook Heritage Association) the impetus to keep on living,” Davis said. “You got good people, you got a good project, it’s in a great loca-

tion, so I hope everything goes the right way. We need that type of association in the community.”

Coun. Gerry Warner said there is still some opposition in the community.

“One thing that shouldn’t

be overlooked is if this project goes ahead and if it’s done nicely and properly could be part of the revitalization of downtown,” Warner said.

Council applies for heritage funding the way, and the old fire hall. I’m sure hoping this grant is successful.”

Council approved

the motion to apply for the Heritage BC grant.

Coun. Diana J. Scott was opposed.

At the end of May 26 the Cranbrook Heritage

Association appeared before Council to request a rescinding of the demolition order on the brick building.

Staff wrote that the as-

CCF trash disgusts users Continued from page 1 “A nice juicy fine for that idiocy would be just appropriate.”

As a regular user, Zier has seen numerous instances of similar behaviour.

“We’ve packed out bags of garbage on our own initiative,” he said.

“We’ve found garbage cans full of deer guts.

We’ve found condoms, cigarette butts, syringes, (take-out) coffee cups.

People throw all their garbage at the gate. It’s a party place. They need to lock that gate off at night.”

And what could be a better bear attractant than huge rotting piles of garbage in the Community Forest, just off the road?

“I pack a rock in each hand when I go up there, because of the bears,” Zier said.

Grant Griffin, a board member of the Cranbrook Community Forest Society, had also seen the latest piles of trash. He said Forest Service personnel, who take care of clean-up and enforcement, did find out the identity of the culprit, but nothing could be done, as the person was from outside the area, was long gone, and couldn’t easi-

“The enforcement people said (the latest mess) was one of the worst they’d ever seen,” Griffin said.

Dumping is an ongo-

ing problem in the Community Forest, said Griffin, who’s been on the board for several years. “But over the years there’s been a gradual improvement.

At one point, everything got dumped up there.”

The Cranbrook Community Forest is 2,000 hectares of crown land on the eastern boundary of Cranbrook and the Eager Hills area north of Hwy 3/95. It is a semi-wilderness recreation area and is managed as an interpretive forest and protected under the Forests and Range Act regulations.

It contains a mixture of forest, grassland and lakes, providing a home to an abundance of birds, waterfowl, deer, coyotes, ground squirrels, and other wildlife species, as well as amazing wildflowers and plants. There are several identified and registered archeological sites at various locations in the forest containing cultural heritage materials.

The Cranbrook Community Forest Society is a provincially registered, non-profit society incorporated in the year 2000. The purpose of the society is to raise community awareness and support for maintaining the long term integrity of the CCF as a valuable outdoor educational and recreational asset for all members of the community and visitors alike.

sociation presented information showing that the building could be returned to structural stability and made usable.

City staff and the association agreed on a threshold figure for the proposed restoration.

The CHA indicated that based on quotes for materials and services, the restoration project budget had been set at $40,000.

In July, council approved the recommendation by staff to rescind the March 18, 2013 resolution which allowed the demolition of the brick building.

Staff said the budgetary impact to the

city is zero, since the heritage association will fundraise all the necessary resources.

By chance, Heritage BC has just opened the 2014 Legacy Fund grant application process for eligible projects. City staff have been in touch with Heritage BC, and determined that the proposed exterior restoration work on this building would qualify as an eligible project.

If the grant is successful, it could potentially contribute up to half of the eligible project costs.

The application will be submitted in the name of the City of Cranbrook, which is

the building’s owner, though much of the information will come from the association.

The deadline for application is Sept. 5, 2014.

Heritage BC told the city that there is only so much in the Legacy fund, so they will be assessing all applications together and based on the number of applications received, they hope to give all qualifying projects some funding. It will not be a first come-first served application process.

Cause of fire in Kimberley not yet determined C AROLYN GR ANT

The One Love Hot Yoga building is a total loss after a fire Tuesday, August 26, but it could have been a lot worse, says Kimberley Fire Chief Al Collinson.

The building is attached to the Sprout Grocery building, which houses three businesses.

“The guys had a really good stop,” Collinson said. “The fire did extend to the other building but they were able to prevent it from spreading.”

Registered massage therapist Jennifer Johnston, who was operating out of the centre unit in the Sprout Grocery building says there is extensive damage inside.

“It’s pretty much completely destroyed, there is about six inches of sludge on the ground, water and

smoke damage.”

Johnston has already set up at a new temporary location at Mountain Pose Yoga at 100 Deer Park Ave in the Platzl and was back to work today.

“I am sticking to my schedule so if you had an appointment, come to the new location.”

To book an appointment call 250908-0034.

Collinson says the cause of the fire has not been determined. Wednesday morning he was waiting for the electrical inspector to arrive, and also had a call in to the office of the Fire Commissioner.

“Right now we know the fire originated at the yoga building,” he said.

“There is going to be an investigation.”

Seventeen Kimberley Fire Fighters responded to the call.

Arne Pe tryshen

In an interview with the Huffington Post, MP David Wilks announced he would be running again in 2015. Wilks announced his plans despite the immense pressures of the job, which he outlined in a post to his Facebook friends, posted online by the news site.

“There’s an opportunity for me to make a difference, especially in justice issues, because that’s my background

with the police,” Wilks told the Huffington Post.

Wilks spent 20 years as a member of the RCMP before his jump into politics. He was elected to parliament in the federal election of 2011.

Wilks noted in the post that he hadn’t been on Facebook for awhile, though he usually uses it to update his activities daily. He said he has lost the desire lately, because his job as a Member of Parliament is “all

consuming and is extremely detrimental to having a normal family life.”

Wilks said what he misses most is being with his wife, kids and grandkids.

New manager takes over at Trout Hatchery Tr e vo r C r awl ey

T

here’s a new face at the helm of the Kootenay Trout Hatchery.

Lance Page has taken over managerial duties from Ken Scheer, who retired in July, and is embarking on a new chapter in his career.

Growing up on Vancouver Island, sport fishing had always consumed his free time, but he toured a provincial government fish hatchery in Duncan many years ago that piqued his interest, and he left with the goal of obtaining the necessary education that would allow him to get into fish aquaculture.

After bouncing around private and commercial fisheries and farming operations on the West Coast, he landed the job out at the Kootenay Trout Hatchery.

“Basically, it took me 22 years to make the full circle and get the job I wanted originally,” Page joked.

That job includes managing fish culture and sturgeon programs out at the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, which are vital to maintaining healthy fish stock populations in lakes and rivers across the region.

“The society is trying to grow only fish from this region—Region 4—at this hatchery, and they’re trying to do that with hatcheries across the province,” Page said. “For the most part, fish stocks, as far as I can tell, from the lakes that I’ve been to, are super-healthy.”

Then there’s the hatchery facility itself, which has an interpretive tour area, administration offices and work shops, along with the fish and sturgeon culture operations and a learn-to-fish pond.

“The people around here sure love it,” said Page. “The grounds are kept beautiful, people like to come out and picnic—it’s a great feeling. The staff are super-proud of the place.”

In terms of tourism, the learn-to-fish pond and the interpretive tours, which include the option of going behind the scenes and see how the hatchery operates, are a big draw.

But it’s the sturgeon that tend to be a popular fixture, as the FFSBC and partner organizations across the province and northwestern U.S. work towards rebuilding the population in the Columbia River, which is consid-

ered endangered.

“Behind the scenes for the sturgeon is a huge draw,” Page said.

“It’s culture you’re only going to see a couple places in the province.

You’re never going to see baby sturgeon [anywhere else]. Very interesting to see what can be mammoth fish growing in a little tiny tank and need so much care.”

They are housed right in the facility buildings, as hatchery staff catch mature sturgeon out in the Columbia River and bring them back for the spawning process.

“It’s a pretty neat feeling,” Page added.

“You take this fish, bring it here, spawn it for it’s offspring, and then take it back completely unharmed. Now we can raise it’s offspring and let it go.”

There will be some changes coming in the near future to the facility itself, as renovations are in the works to remove some of the concrete raceway lanes, which have been around since the building was originally built in the 1960s, and replace them with fibreglass tanks.

“Fibreglass ponds will use much less

They’ll get much more current, they’ll be more active. We’ll get a better product out of them, for sure.”

Fostering and growing sport fishing is part of the FFSBC’s mandate, and since his arrival in early summer, Page has already had a taste of what lakes and

Ukraine: A Game of Chicken It is quite possible for soldiers to cross a frontier “by accident on an unmarked section,” and that is how Moscow explains the capture of a group of Russian paratroopers on Ukrainian territory last weekend. Poor lambs, they just wandered across the border by mistake. When they get home, they’ll have to be sent on a refresher course in cross-country navigation.

The flaw in this story is that the ten captured Russian soldiers, from the 331st Regiment of the 98th Guards Airborne Division, were caught in a group of unmarked vehicles TWENTY KILOMETRES inside Ukraine. That’s a third of the way from the Russian border to the besieged rebel city of Donetsk, and it’s really hard to explain away as a navigational error.

Besides, there is plenty of other evidence (though no other video interviews with captured Russian troops) to show that there is now a three-pronged Russian offensive underway in eastern Ukraine. There are probably fewer than a thousand Russian regular army troops on Ukrainian territory at the moment, but their purpose is clearly to stop the collapse of the pro-Russian rebels and reverse the momentum in the ground war.

Last week the Ukrainian forces finally cut the last remaining road from Russia to the besieged city of Luhansk, shortly after a large convoy of Russian trucks violated Ukrainian sovereignty and drove up that road to deliver “humanitarian” aid to the city. The rebel forces have now launched a counter-offensive to reopen the road, and Russian self-propelled artillery units have entered Ukraine in the Krasnodon area to support their attacks.

Another Russian force, including

tanks, crossed the border on 24 August fifty km. south of Donetsk, the capital of the other rebel province, and is trying to open a corridor to that city. (The captured paratroopers were part of that force, which is currently stalled near Ilovaisk.) And on 25 August a column of Russian armour crossed into Ukraine well to the south, heading west along the coast of the Sea of Azov towards the port city of Mariupol.

This last incursion, presumably an attempt to Gwynne open a third front and relieve the pressure on the Dyer two besieged cities, has now occupied Novoazovsk, about thirty km. east of Mariupol. The Ukrainian forces say they destroyed a dozen armoured infantry carriers there, but in the end they were driven out. Russian helicopter gunships also killed four Ukrainian border guards and wounded three others in an attack on a border post east of Luhansk on Tuesday.

It’s not yet all-out war between Russia and Ukraine, but there is no doubt that Ukrainian forces are now in direct combat with Russian troops on several fronts.

Russia still officially denies all this, of course, but its denials are not meant to be believed. Rather than see the separatist forces that Moscow has sponsored in the two eastern Ukrainian provinces simply collapse, Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to escalate the conflict.

The message is that Russia will do whatever is necessary militarily to keep the rebellion alive. But is that really true?

Putin is now just one step short of a full Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine, and Russia is already suffering serious economic sanctions. Take that last step, and it’s back to the Cold War — a war that

Russia would ultimately lose, and it wouldn’t take forty years this time either.

Today’s Russia has only half the population of the old Soviet Union, and it is no longer a major industrial power. Without its oil and gas exports, its citizens would be as poor as Ukrainians. If NATO started to take the “Russian threat” really seriously and re-armed itself accordingly, Russia simply couldn’t keep up militarily — and even trying would wreck its fragile economy. In the end, that would probably bring Putin down.

Putin presumably understands this at some level, but his pride, and his desire to restore Russian power, won’t let him just accept defeat. So the current escalation is best seen as his next move in a game of chicken: can he frighten the West into making a deal that saves his face and turns Ukraine back into a political and economic dependency of Russia? The answer is: probably not.

Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshenko, certainly does not intend to go back to the old days. When he called a parliamentary election last week, he was effectively declaring that Ukraine will continue to be a sovereign and centralised state, not the neutered and decentralised state that Moscow wants — and that it will keep its options open on joining the European Union and even NATO (though neither of those options is currently on offer).

The problem with games of chicken is that each player must demonstrate his willingness to go all the way, even though going all the way is crazy. The first one to give way to an attack of sanity loses. The only way to avoid a disastrous smash-up and still not lose is for both players to go sane at exactly the same time. That is what diplomacy is for, but so far it isn’t working.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Look beyond numbers

With September 2 just around the corner, the bargaining impasse between the provincial government and the BC Teachers’ Federation hinges on numbers – numbers about wages, benefits and class size. But behind those numbers are over half a million students who are waiting anxiously to start their school year on time. Whether it is their very first day in kindergarten or the beginning of their last year as a high school student, they are the reason any of those other numbers matter. School trustees across BC want our schools open and ready for students on September 2.

We have called on the government to immediately put strike savings back into schools to help address concerns regard-

ing class size and composition. We have told the Ministers of Education and Finance that the money for the proposed $40-a-day subsidy for parents would be better spent on students in schools. We continue our advocacy for improved education funding, and our trustee representatives at the bargaining table are calling for maintaining flexibility on class size and composition to improve the learning settings for students.

The two parties are approximately a percentage point apart on salary and one year apart on the proposed term of the contract – items that could be resolved through mediation. However, the proposed increases to benefits, the workload fund and the $5000 signing bonus request makes the full package well outside the affordability range. BC’s public education

system ranks among the very best in the world, due in large part to our talented and dedicated teachers. Trustees believe that teachers deserve a fair wage increase, but the BCTF’s overall compensation proposal needs to be aligned with other BC public sector agreements.

The issues are complex. This is not just about money. Ultimately, we need an agreement that meets the needs of students and provides long-term stability for public education. A deal can be reached.

Students can be back in school on September 2. The government and the BCTF must move on the numbers and put students first.

Teresa Rezansoff President BC School Trustees Association

Infrastructure legend? Or history?

H aving been raised on the legends and myths of the Trojan War, I find great romance in the adventures of archeologists. Imagine that fellow Heinrich Schliemann, who more than 150 years ago proved that legend was history when he excavated the site of Troy. It has since been determined that nine cities are located there, piled on top of each other. From thriving metropolis to ghost town, over and over again for countless centuries. Fantastic stuff!

So I’m ready to believe — when an ancient sidewalk is unearthed in the city of Cranbrook — that buried below our city of the present is an historical city of Cranbrook, and below that, perhaps a legendary city of Cranbrook, and below that …

I went down to see the ancient sidewalk, buried four feet beneath Sixth Street North for who knows how many decades, this week seeing the light of day again thanks to the road construction efforts underway.

“Look at that ancient sidewalk,” I said to myself, in proper tones of awe. “Imagine the feet that sidewalk has had on it. Perhaps the legendary schoolmarm Amy Woodland rode her bicycle down this sidewalk. Perhaps Valentine Hyde Baker challenged someone to a fight right here. Maybe crowds had gathered on this very sidewalk to watch a parade go by, a parade filled with skittish elephants.

“This sidewalk is living, breathing history,” I said to myself again, more excitedly. “Workmen!” I shouted.

“Stop your labours! There are artifacts of paleo-historiographical significance entombed in the hereabouts that must be exhumed without delay for the erudification of us all!” The workmen ignored me, and I walked away brooding.

I inquired of the local historians the mysteries behind the ancient sidewalk, and I was quickly disabused of my romantic notions. But if this exposed stretch of concrete was no legendary sidewalk, it

The mysterious, ancient sidewalk, running parallel to and four feet below the present day sidewalk on Sixth Street North in Cranbrook. Oh what can it mean? was, in fact, an even more fabled artifact, a legendary piece of infrastructure that no one was even sure had actually existed.

What the workmen had exposed was the Smith Creek culvert.

The Smith Creek Storm Sewer was cast by the City of Cranbrook in the Skating Rink in the late 1920s Barry and early 1930s, and laid in 1935. It consisted of Coulter out — consists of — 5,320 feet of concrete pipe, 30 inches in diameter, with a grade of 0.284 per cent, according to the Cranbrook Courier.

The Courier report (1944) adds: “The third artificial interference with the natural drainage was a small dam constructed on Smith Creek where it passes under Wattsville Road, 3,750 upstream from the intake of the storm sewer. At this point, the creek issues from a large swamp several miles in length. The purpose of the dam was to flood the swamp, thus forming a shallow lake intended to serve as a bird sanctuary. The dam raised the level of

water in the swamp four feet …”

So there it is in a nutshell — the creation of Elizabeth Lake and the drainage system under downtown Cranbrook to Joseph Creek. Flooding at Elizabeth Lake this year, and attendant concerns over its drainage, led many to think about that mysterious infrastructure which had been buried for so long no one was really sure where it was.

But there it is. And my sources say the City engineer says the culvert is in very good condition and running about 12 inches deep through that 30-inch pipe.

So in many ways, this is better news than the discovery of the legendary Cranbrook — that a key piece of infrastructure is alive and well after all those decades.

But still, as I walk along our excellent modern sidewalks, my eyes drift downward and I ask myself, “what else is down there?”

Open for business Ice camp commences as prospects look to stand out Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice officially opened training camp Wednesday with two prospect games highlighting the next generation of talent hoping to make the jump to Cranbrook and the Western Hockey League.

“I was impressed,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson following the Wednesday evening prospect game.

“Obviously a lot of nerves [for the young guys] coming into today and I thought they performed very well.”

For the first time since being drafted by Kootenay with the 11th overall selection at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, defenceman Griffin Mendel stepped onto the ice at Western Financial Place.

Mendel, a Kelowna native, isn’t eligible to play as a 15-year-old this season. But he certainly left an impression on those who saw him Wednesday.

“He stuck out. He definitely got my attention,” Henderson said.

“But there’s more than just him. There’s been a lot of guys that have

played very well. That’s what these guys have got to do. They’ve got to stand out.”

Another defenceman who caught Henderson’s eye was Cale Fleury. The native of Carlyle, Sask. doesn’t turn 16 until November, but looked poised and calm in his own end. Whether it was breaking up threeon-one opportunities or establishing a smooth breakout, Fleury was steady. Fleury is the younger brother of 2014 Carolina Hurricanes first-round draft choice Haydn Fleury. The younger Fleury has already grabbed the attention of Hockey Canada brass as he attended U17 Development Camp in Calgary earlier this summer.

Fleury joined the Ice organization after he was selected by the team with the 78th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.

Up front, it was another pair of 2013 bantam draft selections that buzzed.

Former first-round pick Jared Legien was strong up and down the wings while Vince Loschiavo turned on the after-burners, showing

Kimberley Celebrates

great speed on zone entries as well as a nose for the net.

Legien was Kootenay’s first-round pick in 2013, going ninth overall. Loschiavo came 22 picks later when the Ice grabbed him with the 31st overall selection.

While impressive performances are great on day one, all of that changes today when the prospects and veterans get thrown into the blender together.

“It’s a much better pace and positionally, [the game] is probably more sound,” Henderson said. “It’s a good test for these guys. You obviously get the nerves out today and tomorrow you get thrown in with some of the bigger boys and we’ll see where they stand.”

Though the scores hold no weight in any standings, Team White edged Team Black in both prospect contests, taking the morning affair 5-3 before claiming a 5-2 win in the evening finale.

The 56 players in camp will be shuffled onto three teams with Team Blue facing Team White in the first game of the day at 11 a.m.

Once again, a goaltenders session will break up the games at 4:45 p.m. before Team Black hits the ice against Team Blue in the 6 p.m. tilt.

All training camp sessions are open to the public.

Nothing short of explosive Nitros brass expect the best as training camp opens Friday Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters are set to open training camp Friday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre and president Chad Koran is looking for nothing less than the best.

“We’re looking forward to our returning players coming in and shining, obviously,” Koran said Wednesday afternoon, “and we’re looking for the young guys coming in…to turn some heads and get some attention.”

With 45 players coming to camp, there will be plenty of competition in Kimberley this weekend.

Tyson Brouwer is the only holdover between

the pipes as Jeremy Mousseau heads off to the college ranks.

Up front, leading scorer Jared Marchi returns to help fuel the offence. The 19-year-old Kimberley native led the Nitros with 25 goals and 57 points in 43 games last season.

Jason Richter, following a tryout with the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, is also expected to return. The Cranbrook-born forward tallied 23 goals and 46 points in 47 games for the Nitros during the 2013-14 season. As an 18-year-old, he will look to chase down Marchi for the team scoring crown in 2014-15.

“We want to have them set the bar fairly high so these other guys coming in can see, ‘Holy Dinah, we’ve got some competition here to make this team,’” Koran said. “We definitely want them to be at their best.”

Tyson Klingspohn finished third in Nitros scoring in 2013-14 and also returns to the club.

The 17-year-old posted 15 goals and 33 points in 52 games with the Dynamiters last season.

In addition to the regular returners, Dynamiter brass is excited for a new crop of local talent, including the VanSteinburg brothers, Matt Barzilay and Jesse Wallace .

Tyler VanSteinburg is a 16-year-old defence-

man that could potentially help fill the void created when veteran blueliner Andrew Miller requested a trade closer to home. The 20-yearold Miller was dealt to the Beaver Valley Nitehawks for future considerations last week.

Trevor VanSteinburg is a 17-year-old forward who already has a smattering of KIJHL experience in his back pocket.

The Cranbrook native suited up in seven games for the Nelson Leafs last season in addition to spending most of the year with the Kootenay Ice of the B.C. Major Midget League.

Matt Barzilay is another 17-year-old forward expected to bolster the ranks and the Nitros

NHL remains status quo as expansion rumours fly Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

TORONTO — NHL expansion is likely coming in the near future, though the league hasn’t committed to any official plan just yet.

For more than a year, commissioner Gary Bettman has said the NHL is listening when approached by cities interested in acquiring a team even though there’s no formal expansion process underway. Amid reports this week indicating solid plans are in place, deputy commissioner Bill Daly said there’s “nothing new to report on this subject.’’

Status quo doesn’t necessarily mean the NHL won’t eventually expand to Las Vegas, as the Vancouver Province reported Tuesday was a “done deal.’’ And it doesn’t necessarily discount the possibility of adding four teams by 2017, one each in Las Vegas, Seattle and Quebec City and a second in Toronto, as SportsBusinessNews.com reported via Twitter.

Getting to 32 teams sooner rather than later would make sense for a league that moved to unbalanced conferences with 16 teams in the East and 14 in the West beginning last season. Las Vegas and Seattle fit geographically.

But the NHL has sev-

eral hurdles to overcome before awarding franchises, including answering arena and ownership questions.

MGM and AEG are in the process of building a 20,000-seat facility in Las Vegas that could be ready by the spring of 2017, and either UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center or Orleans Arena could be short-term options.

But it’s still unclear who would own a team in Las Vegas, let alone what could happen to sportsbooks if the NHL is the first major North American professional league to move in there.

Seattle, with its vocal and passionate fanbase, has a less-than-ideal arrangement in the shortterm with Key Arena.

Getting a new building would be crucial to the NHL going to the Pacific

Northwest. Chris Hansen, who tried to buy the NBA’s Sacramento Kings to move them to Seattle, and Don Levin, owner of the AHL’s Chicago Wolves, could head up an ownership group there.

Communications giant Quebecor would love to resurrect the Quebec City Nordiques, and Quebecor Arena could be done by the fall of 2015. The Canadian dollar is much stronger than it was in the mid1990s when the Nordiques moved to Denver, and fans have long been clamouring for the return of the NHL. But Bettman said at the Stanley Cup final in June that he wasn’t sure how the NHL would deal with putting another team in the Eastern Conference. The Detroit

Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets were just moved from the West to the East for the 2013-14 season.

If the NHL did choose to cash in on what SportsBusinessNews.com reported would be roughly US$1.4 billion in expansion fees by expanding to 34 teams by the centennial season of 201718, a second team in Toronto could play in the Western Conference. The size of the Toronto market has long made it an interesting possibility, whether the expansion team shares Air Canada Centre with the Maple Leafs or has its own arena.

Officially, expansion is not on the agenda.

But that doesn’t stop the speculation.

already know what they’re getting with the Cranbrook native. Barz i l a y dressed in four games for Kimberley during the 2012-13 KIJHL season, posting one goal and three points in the process.

Last week after the trade of Miller, Nitros GM Dave Smith said they like to keep their squad young and with another 17-year-old local forward stepping on to the ice, there is no arguing that statement.

Jesse Wallace, a Kimberley native, is expected to make the full-time

jump to the Dynamiters in 2014-15 after getting into four games with the club since 2012.

“We want 100 per cent out of each of these guys. It goes a long way,” Koran said. “You don’t want any bad apples in the dressing room.

“We want 100 per cent out of each one of our guys and an honest effort. They need to come here believing they have a chance to

earn a spot on the team.

And they could very well do so. [There are spots] up for grabs.”

Dynamiters camp opens Friday with the first practice slated for 6 p.m.

Sessions continue with games running from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Saturday and 9 a.m. through 1:15 p.m. Sunday.

All sessions are open to the public.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week August 24 - 30

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

1898 RAILROAD IS HERE! … Steel Was Laid Into Cranbrook on Tuesday, August the Twenty-Third. At last Cranbrook has a railroad. The people have waited long for this event, and today they are happy.

Tuesday morning the smoke from the engine that propels the track layer was seen at the further end of the prairie to the northeast, and slowly but surely the great iron horse approached the town of Cranbrook. Length after length of rails were laid by the large force of men employed for that purpose, and when the sun dipped behind the timber covered hills to the southwest, the dying rays were reflected back from the steel rails that carried the first train into Cranbrook. Tuesday, August 23rd, will always be a memorable day in the history of Cranbrook, the leading city of South East Kootenay. That day brought the railroad, and with it the fruition of the people’s fondest hopes, and the material evidence of the prosperity that is to follow. It gave absolute assurance of transportation facilities, and a

positive guarantee that the packhorse and the freight wagon would soon be relics of the past so far as shipping goods into Cranbrook is concerned. And how rapidly the grand transformation was wrought!

At sunrise, an open prairie and a grade. At sunset, a main track, several sidetracks, trains of freight cars loaded to their full capacity, company’s dining cars located and ready for use, a telegraph office a short distance away, and everything moving along as though the road had been duly installed for a month. The wonderful work was accomplished in a manner characteristic of the methods that prevail in the west, and is paralleled by the rapidity that the town of Cranbrook sprang from an oat field into a thriving, hustling business center.

But the work done that day and since is nothing compared with what is to follow. That work was temporary. The work that is to follow will be of a permanent character. There are switches to construct, many sidetracks to lay, depot, roundhouse and shops to build, and many other things to be done by the Company that will make Cranbrook its official headquarters for the Crows Nest Pass line.

TRAIN SERVICE … Commencing tomorrow, regular trains will be run from Cranbrook east, giving

passenger accommodations from this point. This will prove a great convenience to the people.

FIRST FOR CRANBROOK …

Cranbrook had her first open air religious service last Sunday evening. One of the men working on the road, who labours for Haney during the week and Christ on Sunday, talked straight salvation to a large crowd for an hour. He seemed sincere and displayed intense enthusiasm, and therefore is entitled to the same respect and consideration accorded to any other worker in the Lord’s vineyard. His grammar and rhetoric may have been faulty, but if his heart is in the right place, what’s the odds.

STOP THAT HABIT … Opium, Morphine, Cocaine, and Laudanum, stopped at once. R.J.C. Hoffman, 484 Isabella Bldg., Chicago, Ill Conductor Templeman Injured ... Last Saturday morning Conductor Templeman, who was in charge of his train near the end of steel, was badly injured by being hit over the back of the head by one of his brakeman named Ross. The men had engaged in some altercation over an order issued by Mr. Templeman, and without warning the brakeman made a brutal attack with the heavy stick used in cou-

pling cars. Templeman was brought to Wardner and Dr. King summoned from Elko. Ross was taken into custody and placed in the lockup.

1899 STOLE WATCH AND MONEY ...

Last Sunday Martin O’Toole stepped into the rooms of Elmer Musgrave and E. H. Small, proprietors of the Cosmopolitan, taking a watch belonging to the former and $50 in money from the latter. Mr. Musgrave had left his room only a minute, and during his brief absence O’Toole took the watch from the table. He got Mr. Small’s money while that gentleman was asleep.

As soon as Mr. Musgrave missed. his watch, having seen O’Toole hurrying down the stairs, he informed Night Watchman Foster, and within fifteen minutes the thief was in custody. Monday afternoon he pleaded guilty before Magistrates Leitch and Moffat to taking the watch and money, declaring, however, that he only got $20, He was sentenced to six months at Nelson, and Constable Morris took him to his future residence on the evening train.

NEW ROAD … The wagon road was begun early this week for the new bridge over St. Josephs creek on the Mission Road to Old Town, Perry Creek. The work is in charge

of F. LeClerce.

SENTENCED … Pasto, the Italian convicted of killing Edward Ryan in this city, and Jack Lerone, convicted of stealing nineteen cases of dynamite from the C.P.R. warehouse at Fernie, have been taken to the penitentiary at Victoria. Pasto goes for life, and Derone for two years.

1900 The Big Swede Touched … A few nights ago a railroad worker known as the “Big Swede” was sitting in a room of a public house in an oblivious condition; a well-known railroad trainman, once well up in the service, came in and “touched” the Swede for a watch, which later was taken by the thief to a house on the row and disposed of. The man was arrested and is now in jail; he will have his trial Saturday. He is very anxious that his name should be suppressed, so as not to cause his family “worry.” He is very considerate of his family indeed, as according to reports they have for some time been suffering for the necessities of life and in a way dependent upon charitable people for their meagre sustenance, while the husband — who is so fearful they might be worried over his arrest — has been blowing his money on whiskey and women.

Gaza war ends with another grim stalemate T

Dan Perry Associated Press

he third Gaza War in six years appears to have ended in another sort of tie, with both Israel and Hamas claiming the upper hand. Their questionable achievements have come at a big price, especially to long-suffering Palestinians in Gaza.

In a sense, Israel got what it wanted: Hamas stopped firing rockets in exchange for mostly vague promises and future talks. But the cost to Israel was huge: Beyond the 70 people killed — all but six of them soldiers — the economy has been set back, the tourism season destroyed, its people rattled for 50 days and its global standing pummeled by images of devastation in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces bristling from people who sense that Hamas controlled events and could not have its grip loosened on the Gaza Strip, which it seized by force from the Palestinian Authority in 2007. Around the corner lie international investigations into war crimes allegations.

Hamas is celebrating its success after surviving Israel’s far superior firepower.

The Islamic militant group’s rocket fire emptied a string of Israeli border communities and disrupted Tel Aviv’s international airport.

It also paid dearly: 2,143 Palestinians were killed, including nearly 500 children and hundreds of militants.

The U.N. estimates the war destroyed or severely damaged 17,200 homes and left 100,000 Palestinians homeless. Hamas’ rocket arsenal is much depleted and many — if not all — of its attack tunnels have been destroyed.

The region is unpredictable. But as it seems this cease-fire may stick, here are some preliminary lessons: Force may have worked For 50 days, Hamas stuck to its rockets. Israel started with carefully targeted destruction of sites, but steadily escalated its strikes. It razed neighbourhoods and killed top militants. This week, Israel destroyed whole apartment towers. Hamas’ fight was at first genuinely supported by Gazans desperate for an end to the embargo of

mohamed zanoon, gaza, july, 2014

the strip by Israel and Egypt — a policy largely meant to squeeze out Hamas. But in the end, probably sensing the population couldn’t take more, Hamas accepted a deal that does not differ much from the first Egyptian cease-fire proposal offered in mid-July and accepted then by Israel. The moral side of Israel’s use of devastating force will be debated and its legality may end up being examined at The Hague, but the outcome suggests it achieved its aims. Netanyahu said as much

Wednesday, telling a news conference that Hamas was surprised by the intensity of Israel’s attacks in the last week of the war. Especially interesting was the minimal protest in the Arab world, where Hamas suffers from association with the Islamist groups increasingly marginalized and feared around much of the region.

The Unity Gov’t is back Israelis say that since Hamas embeds itself in civilian areas, there was no choice but to target those areas while making efforts to

diminish civilian casualties by issuing warnings. Yet there were alternatives. Israel could have accepted some of Hamas’ demands despite reservations about doing so under fire. In May, Israel could have cautiously accepted the establishment of a technocratic Palestinian “unity government’’ that was backed by both Hamas and the moderate Fatah group, which runs the Palestinian Authority and its autonomous enclaves in the West Bank.

Now Israel seems less upset about the unity government. It would probably be grateful to have the Palestinian Authority back in Gaza, running at least the borders, handling the reconstruction aid projects — and in general, keeping Hamas in check.

Peace prospects bleak Whatever lies ahead, the bigger Israeli-Palestinian story remains the same: A majority on both sides wants peace and accepts partition of the Holy Land into two states — but when the other side’s terms are considered, they cannot do a deal. Israel

has always feared a total West Bank pullout that would leave it about 10 miles wide at its narrowest point.

Jihadi advances in the face of Arab governments’ haplessness now compound that fear. There is talk in the territories of asking the world to force Israel to accept the Palestinians’ terms — a follow-up to the U.N. General Assembly’s recognition in 2012 of a “state of Palestine’’ in all of Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Palestinians tend to describe such efforts, as well as the recent U.S.-led negotiating effort that fizzled, as “last chances’’ to save the “twostate solution.’’ When that’s off the table, their vision does not lean toward accepting a future as an occupied people. More likely is another uprising, or a push by the Palestinians for a single state over all the territory of the Holy Land, in which Arabs and Jews would be equal citizens. Israel fears the first and ferociously opposes the second, because it would bury the Zionist dream of a national home for the Jews.

Thanks for the summer support!

Uruguay opens registration period to grow pot at home Associated Press

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — People in Uruguay who want to grow marijuana legally can now register with the government to do so.

The government opened the registration period Wednesday as the South American country rolls out its marijuana legalization program in stages.

The rules for growing at home come with some restrictions. It can only be for personal use and there is a limit of six female plants, with an annual harvest of up to 480 grams.

Also, participants in the program must be at least 18 and either citizens or legal residents of Uruguay.

The country is the first in the world to attempt to regulate the cultivation and sale of marijuana on a nationwide scale. President Jose Mujica has said pharmacies will be allowed to sell marijuana to registered users next year.

Rebels enter town as battle for Ukraine’s coastline heats up Peter Leonard Associated Press

NOVOAZOVSK, Ukraine — Pushing west in a new offensive along Ukraine’s strategic coastline, heavily armed Russian-backed separatist forces captured new territory Wednesday far from their previous battles with government troops.

The bold offensive along a new southeastern front raised the prospect that the separatists are seeking to create a land link between Russia and Crimea, which also would give them control over the entire Azov Sea. After a third day of heavy shelling that sent many residents fleeing, rebel fighters with dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles entered Novoazovsk, a resort town of 40,000 on the Azov Sea, the mayor told The Associated Press.

Novoazovsk lies along the road linking Russia to the Ukrainian port of Mariupol and onto Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that

TUESDAY SEPT 9

Russia annexed in March.

The separatist attack appears to have caught government forces off guard, and they were scrambling Wednesday to build up defences. The offensive also adds to growing evidence that the rebels receive Russian support.

To travel to this spot through Ukraine from the main front line around Donetsk and Luhansk, far to the north, the rebels would have had to cross territory controlled by government troops. The more logical conclusion is that they came across the nearby Russian border.

Ukraine and Western governments have long accused Russia of playing a direct role in the conflict, supplying troops and weaponry to the rebels. Russia consistently denies the claims, but its stance is increasingly dismissed abroad.

Russian forces, she said,

are being sent 30 miles (48 kilometres) inside Ukraine, without them or their families knowing where they are going. She cited reports of burials in Russia for those who’ve died in Ukraine and wounded Russian soldiers being treated in a St. Petersburg hospital.

Associated Press journalists on the border have seen the rebels with a wide range of unmarked military equipment — including tanks, Buk missile launchers and armoured personnel carriers — and have run into many Russians among the rebel fighters. Ukraine also captured 10 soldiers from a Russian paratrooper division Monday around Amvrosiivka, a town about 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the Russian border.

On Wednesday, AP reporters saw more than 20 shells fall around Novoazovsk in a one-hour span. Many people were leaving the town, while oth-

ers were rushing back in to evacuate relatives. Later in the day, access from the west was blocked by Ukrainian soldiers and the presence of rebels in Novoazovsk could not be independently confirmed.

A spokesman for Ukraine’s security council, Col. Andriy Lysenko, said he had no information that Novoazovsk had been occupied. Earlier, he said the shelling around the town was coming from both Ukrainian and Russian territory. Ukrainian security officials said nearby villages had also come under shelling.

The artillery shells in Novoazovsk appeared to be flying between rebel and government positions.

In Mariupol, a city of 450,000 about 30 kilometres (20 miles) to the west, defences were being built up.

A brigade of Ukrainian forces arrived at the airport on Wednesday afternoon,

while deep trenches were dug a day earlier on the city’s edge. Other troops were blocking traffic from leaving the port heading east.

Ukraine has already lost more than 750 kilometres (450 miles) of coastline in Crimea, along with a major naval port and significant mineral rights in the Black Sea. If the separatists were to seize a land bridge to Crimea that would be a further loss of more than 250 kilometres (150 miles) of coastline. This would also give them or Russia control over the entire Azov Sea and any offshore oil and gas reserves.

This would leave Ukraine with about 450 kilometres (270 miles) of coastline to the west of Crimea.

Fighting also persisted elsewhere Wednesday, and Lysenko said 13 Ukrainian troops had been killed over the past day.

Cruising 103: More cruise tips Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel continues the discussion on what makes a successful cruise

I

have talked about all the activities to do onboard a cruise ship in Cruising 101.

Cruising 102 was all about staterooms. So, let’s talk about all the activities and sightseeing OFF the cruise ship! Unless you are on a transatlantic crossing, there is plenty to see and do.

Once you have booked a cruise, you can go online, retrieve your booking, and look at the day to day itinerary for YOUR cruise.

The shore excursions (tours booked on the ship, taken on land) available for every destination will be listed, the duration, physical activity level, the places visited, and the price.

Easy. However, should you just want to disembark at the port and do your own thing for the day, or arrange your own land tour, you are free to do just that. Just be back on the ship by the ‘all aboard’ time, and your time is your own. Or choose not to get off that day, and enjoy the peaceful tran-

HollandAmerica

There is more to a cruise than just life on board, quility of a nearly empty ship, while others are ashore.

Everything is open on the ship, except for gift shops and the casino. These only open when you are sailing, due to local laws.

There are many companies that offer shore tours to cruise

passengers.

Cruise lines will tell you the benefit of booking ‘their’ excursion is if something goes wrong on shore and you are late back to the ship, the ship will wait for you. If the tour is not booked through the ship, they will not, and you will be responsible for getting

Mark your Calendars for a fun and fascinating evening with

yourself to the next port.

This is a pretty good argument, though not one to be too concerned about. Other reputable shore tour companies will also guarantee to return you to the ship on time, or they will get you to the next port at ‘their expense’. So shop around to get what you want, and at the price you want. We can help with that.

Another small bene-

fit of booking a shore excursion with the cruise line is that you can put the expense on your ‘shipboard account’ and pay at the end of the cruise. Ships are cashless societies.

You register your credit card with the ship, they give you a keycard. That card is your identification for getting on and off the ship, it opens your stateroom door, and it is your charge

card. Easy. You can look at a tally of your charges each day on the TV in your room. Even gratuities for the staff are posted to this account. Should you need to adjust, remove or change something, just head to the purser’s desk and get it sorted out. Just a tip – don’t wait to do this until the night before disembarkation, everyone else is doing the same thing

and the lineups will be long.

Once you get the hang of the ‘cruise routine’, you’ll be a happy cruiser! And it gets easier and more familiar with every sailing. You just haven’t lived til you’ve cruised!

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Listen to what seems like a whisper. Your intuition will kick in as your creativity opens the door to what could be a challenging new possibility. Walk through the door and wave hello to newness and excitement.

Tonight: Try not to accept any more responsibility.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be more in tune with a child, roommate or friend who allows greater give-and-take between you and someone else.

You could find that answers will lead to even more questions.

The unexpected plays a big role in making plans. Tonight: Play it nice and easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your imagination will prove to be a gift when dealing with others. You add extra zest to conversations. Allow greater give-and-take between you and someone you consider to be fun. The unexpected could factor into a partnership. Tonight: Love the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to news, and be more decisive than you have been in the past. Recognize what has made you feel so forthright and clear; you will be able to use this ability in the future when you want to clear up a confusing situation. Tonight: Make weekend plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You often are in touch with many people. Your biggest problem might be how to deal with an overflow of calls and requests without offending anyone. Try to keep a low profile. Understand that you might need to also ask for some help.

Tonight: Relax with a friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be vested in the outcome of a financial situation.

Trust yourself to sort through a problem and come to a workable solution. A loved one or dear friend will need to be given some slack, as this person appears to be a bundle of nerves.

Tonight: On top of your game.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be attentive to someone’s re-

Tundra

quests, and stay responsive to his or her style of communication. Your understanding will be in high demand with many people. Someone you care about allows you to grow to a new level of understanding. Tonight: Play it low-key.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your ability to understand more of what is happening will emerge. Revamp your approach to a particular matter with the knowledge that something better lies ahead. Your sense of humor will make a demanding matter palpable. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are full of energy, and this allows greater give-andtake between you and others.

A meeting could carry more punch than you had thought possible. Understanding is likely to evolve to a new level as a result. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be exhausted by everything that is happening, but a key person in your life will feel

revived. The unexpected might occur, and it will allow you to take another look at what is going on in your life. Tonight: Be intensely involved in whatever you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Know your limits. Excitement seems to resound throughout the day. Keep a perspective, even if you become triggered.

Detach if you feel overwhelmed.

Take a walk or call a friend to help you relax. Tonight: Consider taking a quick trip before fall gets here.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Do your best to make headway with a project that has been thwarted. Pace yourself, and know full well what is happening around you. Listen to what someone else has to share; you might have an unexpected opportunity for financial gain.

Tonight: A must appearance.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My boss insists that all of her employees eat lunch with her in the cafeteria every day. She really gets out of whack if we decide to use our “unpaid” time to do what we want. She says we aren’t team players if we don’t eat together. And for the most part, lunch is all about her. She controls the conversation, which is all about her life. Today, she shared that she scolded a family member for bringing their cell phone to the family dinner table. A few of us at the table had cell phones with us at the time.

I don’t know how to handle this. We’re a small operation and can’t avoid one another.

I think I should be able to text my kids during my lunch hour. She can’t stand to be argued with and never apologizes. We all need our jobs. What can we do? -- Cornered in N.Y. Dear N.Y.: It is unfortunate that your boss is so clueless and narcissistic. Does she have a supervisor? If so, that is the person to whom you need to direct your complaint. You also could approach your boss as a group, perhaps sending her a letter signed by everyone, explaining that lunch together is nice, but you also need a break during the day to handle personal things that come up while you’re at work, and you don’t want to do it on company time. You can ask whether she would be willing to set aside half of the lunch hour for personal time and let her know how much all of you would appreciate it. But only you can assess how much you value this job and what you risk by pursuing this.

Dear Annie: Last year, my siblings loaned my father a decent sum of money, and Dad has yet to pay them back. I was not in a position to help then, but since that time, knowing my father has had financial issues (notably as a result of his poor decisions), I have helped in smaller ways, mostly by buying food for him.

Recently, Dad started dating a woman and has talked about various vacations they have taken and trips they are planning. My siblings don’t live around here and are not as close to Dad, so they have no idea where the money is going. Although I don’t want to get in the middle, I think they have a right to know that Dad could be paying them back in some small measure rather than using the money for vacations with his girlfriend.

I sure would want to know. -- F. Dear F.: Are you sure Dad is paying for these excursions? It’s quite possible the new girlfriend is paying for these trips. You can ask him why, if he has money to spare, he’s not giving it to your siblings, and yes, you can mention to your siblings that Dad went on a trip or two. But we don’t recommend you chastise Dad or rile up your siblings.

They may be delighted that he’s getting out and enjoying his life, and the money might not be that important to them. Or they may have loaned him the money without expecting repayment. Any argument about those loans should be between your siblings and their father. No good will come of you putting yourself in the middle.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Saying,” the diabetic woman who wants to bring her own food into a restaurant. She should understand that the owners are not being rude by not allowing it. It is a health violation.

There is nearly always an item on the menu that someone with diabetes could eat or ask to have prepared in a way that wouldn’t violate their diet. Those items might not be the person’s first choice, but they are adequate compensation for the ability to share a table with her friends, and next time, they can go to a place of her choosing. -- Common Sense Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituary Murray McCulloch 1931 - 2014

It is with great regret that we announce the passing of Murray McCulloch on August 24, 2014.

A true pioneer, respected outdoorsman and conservationist, he lived his life to its fullest and on his own terms right to the end. He spent the last twenty-eight years of retirement where he wanted to be, on his trapline and passed gracefully at home, surrounded by those who loved him.

Leaving behind his wife Lucille and an extended family that included sons, daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many close friends.

He will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

LUNN, David (Dave) Joseph David (Dave) Joseph Lunn died peacefully on Saturday August 24th at his home in Sidney BC. He leaves Elaine, his wife of 62 years, his sons David (Linda), Brian (Nora), Gary (Alexis), Ralph (Vanessa) and his daughter Margaret. Dave was the proud grandfather of sixteen grandchildren and one great granddaughter.

Dave was born to Ruth Harrow Lunn and Leslie Herbert Lunn in Montreal Quebec. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to the Kootenays and settled in Nelson. Upon his graduation from St Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy. Dave was deployed on the North Atlantic run escorting convoy ships. Following his service in the military, he attended UBC where he received his law degree. After university, he settled once again in the Kootenays and articled in Nelson. At that pivotal time, Dave met Elaine: the love of his life. He married her in 1953. Dave opened a law practice in Trail and resided there for fifteen years. Dave was proud to be a lawyer. In 1965, he was appointed as an administrative judge for the East Kootenay. He and his family moved to Cranbrook and established a summer home at Moyie where they made wonderful friends and lived happily for 35 years. Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career as an administrative judge took him to every corner of the Kootenays until he was 71 years of age.

In 1991 Dave and Elaine retired in Sidney BC. They loved their time there and had opportunities to travel extensively to many parts of the world. Dave had a passion for the outdoors. Dave worked until he was 71 years old. Dave was never sick, he never a broke a bone, and he never missed a day of work. Dave had a wonderful life.

Investing in community for good and forever.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory can be made to Palliative Care or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

Funeral services will be held at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church on Friday, August 29th at 11:00 AM. 7742, West Saanich Road, Saanichiton BC.

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? 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 sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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.

A study on the Polypterus, pictured above, goes some way to ghelping scientists understand the evolution of limbs. On the left, the fish is left to fend for itself on the land, developing a slithering walk, while on the right, the fish is in its natural habitat.

Study on walking fish sheds light on evolution of limbs Bob Weber CANADIAN PRESS

Science marches on. Sometimes, it does so on fins.

Research conducted at McGill University studied the effect of a lifetime of walking on a certain type of fish. Yes, fish.

The results, say their paper in the journal Nature, suggest much about the evolution of complex pieces of anatomy such as arms and legs.

“What we wanted to pin down was: if you change the environment of this fish, does it change its behaviour or does its anatomy change?” said Emily Standen, now at the University of Ottawa.

Her team started with a fish called Polypterus. They have both lungs and gills and can live in water or on land. They also have lobelike fins, positioned so they can pull themselves awkwardly forward as if with

stunted arms.

“Some people might say they’re not as pretty as trout, but I think they’re amazing,” Standen said.

She and her colleagues took two groups of Polypterus, raising one in water and one on land. They found that by the end of the experiment, the land-raised group had indeed become more efficient walkers than their aquatic counterparts.

But more interestingly, the landlubbers’ bodies had also changed. Bones that their fins had grown beefier. And just a subtle hint of what might be glancingly referred to as a neck had also emerged.

Even more interestingly, the changes seen in the walking group looked a lot like the changes seen in the fossil record as fish slowly evolved for terrestrial life.

“All of these changes mirror what we see in the fossil record,” said Standen. “You see

these changes in the bones suddenly over evolutionary time, mirrored by what’s going on in this one individual.”

Environmental changes had produced physical changes — a key finding regarding what scientists call plasticity, the “wiggle room” allowed for in every organism’s DNA. “What it’s telling us is the plasticity, or the variation that’s hidden within all of us, relates to the evolutionary process because what it allows animals to do is exist in novel environments,” Standen said.

“When you change an environment and (an organism) responds in this plastic way, adaptive selection and evolution has something upon which to act.”

The whole issue of plasticity is a hot one for evolutionary biologists, Standen said. The amount of its influence over evolution or how traits that appear in individuals become

“fixed” into an entire species is still mysterious.

But it could help explain why evolution can come up with solutions so quickly.

“If you’ve got this variation within you, you don’t have to wait for random advantageous mutation to occur to allow you to do something new,” Standen said.

“You can use your plasticity to do that new thing, evolution can then act on that existing building block, and that combination allows you to explain how really complex changes can occur in a really short time.”

Standen said she hopes to be able to keep using Polypterus to answer those questions.

“It is dream to be able to breed these, to be able to take it to the next step and do generation after generation and see how far does this go and how fast does this go. Can you get this to fix, somehow?

“It is fascinating.”

Surfers flock to beaches as Southern California sees high surf Gillian Fl accus ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — The surf was churning in Southern California and even bigger waves were brewing, with big-wave surfers saying they were hoping for swells up to 30 feet (9 metres) on Wednesday.

Surfers and gawkers crowded California beaches Tuesday while workers hurried to fortify beaches and sandbag low-lying areas against flooding from the serious surf expected to peak Wednesday, brought on by Hurricane Marie spinning off Mexico’s Pacific coast.

The National Weather Service said beaches stretching 100 miles (160 kilometres) up the Southern California coast would see large waves and rip currents. Swimmers and surfers were urged to be aware of the dangerous conditions.

At The Wedge in Newport Beach, a famous surfing spot, dozens watched bodysurfers get pounded by storm-driven waves up to 10 feet (3 metres) high on Tuesday.

People took photos and video and clapped, whistled, and cheered when a bodysurfer caught one of the swells.

Lifeguards with flippers and rescue batons at the ready patrolled the edge of the water and two rescue boats kept an eye on the dozen or so brave souls in the water. An ambulance was on stand-by.

If a 30-foot (9-meter) wave does materialize Wednesday, it will be the biggest wave at The Wedge since 1997’s Hurricane Linda, said Tim Burnham, who’s making a docu-

mentary about the famed surfing locale.

“This is the stuff that you dream of: Rainbows, unicorns, Southern Hemi swells, hurricane swells,” he said after a session in the waves.

“You definitely have a healthy amount of fear,” Burnham said. “You don’t want to be stupid. You’re here to push yourself, but at the end of the day you want to go home to your family.”

Some 60 miles (100 kilometres) to the northwest in Malibu, where the waves were 6-to-8 feet (2-3 metres) high, a surfer was pulled unconscious from the water at Surfrider Beach on Tuesday and later died at a hospital, authorities said. It was not clear whether the death was related to the surf or was from a medical condition, Kyle Daniels, a Los Angeles County lifeguard captain, told the Orange County Register.

In the city of Long Beach’s Peninsula neighbourhood, residents watched as bulldozers built huge sand berms between the ocean and their homes. Several shovelled sand into bags around their entryways.

Deborah Popek, who’s lived in the area 20 years, took a walk along the boardwalk to check out the surf.

“It’s always at the last minute that everybody panics because, you know, we don’t expect things to happen,” she said. “But they’re really taking things seriously, because the sandbar is as high as they’ve ever built it.”

——— Associated Press writer Christopher Weber contributed from Los Angeles.

Decisions made on burned trees from massive wildfire near Yosemite Scot t Smith ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO, Calif. — The U.S. Forest Service is expected to unveil its plan Wednesday for what to do with millions of trees killed one year ago in a massive California wildfire.

Backers of logging favour sending the trees to sawmills, which they say will generate money so the Forest Service can replant the forest. Taking out dead trees will also allow the public to use the land, they say, and eliminate a new fire hazard caused by the falling trees. Timber industry officials say they have about two years from the fire before the trees disintegrate and lose their value.

Environmentalists contend snag forests provide a rich habitat for dwindling birds, such as the spotted owls and black-backed woodpeckers. There is no science proving the trees will pose a fire hazard, say environmentalists, who point to seedlings as a sign that natural recovery has begun.

The Rim Fire started Aug. 17, 2013, and burned more than 400 square miles of the Stanislaus National Forest, Yosemite National Park’s backcountry and private timber land. It is the largest wildfire in recorded history to sweep through California’s Sierra Nevada mountains and the state’s third largest wildfire. Any plans for logging won’t include Yosemite.

After releasing the draft plan on Wednesday, Susan Skalski, supervisor of the Stanislaus National Forest, is expected to sign it on Thursday, making it final.

Federal prosecutors accuse bow hunter Keith Matthew Emerald, 32, of starting the massive blaze, when he lost control of an illegal campfire and had to be rescued by helicopter. A grand jury on Aug. 7 returned a fourcount indictment against Emerald, who lives in the foothills community of Columbia.

The fire destroyed 11 homes and cost more than $125 million to fight.

Emerald, who has pleaded not guilty, was released from jail after posting a $60,000 bond.

Saskatchewan man beats drug trafficking charge by arguing he’s a heavy pot user C ANADIAN PRESS

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — A Saskatchewan man has been found not guilty of drug trafficking by arguing that he is simply a very heavy pot smoker.

Devon Douglas Lavallee was charged in August 2013 when he was pulled over by the RCMP for erratic driving near Weldon, near Prince Albert.

Court heard that the officers found nearly half a kilogram of marijuana when they searched Lavallee’s vehicle and even more pot when they searched his home the next day. A Mountie with experience in drug trafficking cases testified that the dope was too much for a recreational user.

Const. Tyson Drabinasty said the “typical user” would not keep such large quantities on hand because marijuana loses its potency

within six months to a year.

But Lavallee argued that he’s been smoking between five and 13 grams a day for 13 years. He said it was to help relieve chronic back pain.

Provincial court Judge Felicia Daunt said in her ruling released Monday that the Crown was unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Lavallee intended to sell the pot.

Daunt said generally, she found Lavallee to be truthful, but prone to exaggeration.

“Although he didn’t bring any documentary evidence to back up his claim of chronic back pain, I have no reason to disbelieve him,” Daunt wrote.

“He says he smokes a lot of pot. This assertion is bolstered by all the indicia of personal use found in his truck, in his home

and in his garage. He smokes so much that he forgot he had pot left when he went to buy some more.”

Daunt also noted that no scale or cellphone were found in Lavallee’s home - two items that can be evidence of trafficking.

“The absence of packaging material suitable for distribution in smaller quantities troubles me the most,” said Daunt.

“The Crown theory that the accused buys in half pound quantity and then turns around and sells in half pound quantity is pure speculation, and unsupported by any evidence that this is a business model anyone has encountered before.”

However, Lavallee was found guilty of possessing marijuana.

The case is due back in court next March.

Today’s kids are busier than ever before. Commitments in the classroom coupled with a full slate of extracurricular activities have ensured that many of today’s school-aged children don’t have a minute to spare.

While it’s important for kids to embrace extracurricular activities, parents know it’s not always easy helping kids find the right activity that allows them to grow outside the classroom while still focusing on their responsibilities inside it.

In addition, kids’ interests tend to change at the drop of a hat, so something they want to do today might bore them come tomorrow.

To help kids choose and manage their extracurricular activities, consider the following tips. * Emphasize that schoolwork must come first. Kids get excited about extracurricular activities, especially ones involving sports where they get to spend time playing with their friends. But parents should emphasize that school still comes first and that, if schoolwork starts to suffer, participation in extracurricular activities will be put on hold until kids get their studies back on track. * Go over coursework at the start of the school year. Examine a

child’s course load before choosing an extracurricular activity. It’s important to do this each year, as coursework gets more difficult as children get older. Just because a child could handle a couple of afterschool activities a week when he or she was in fifth grade does not mean such a schedule will be as manageable when the same child reaches high school. Go over coursework and requirements as early as possible, preferably before the school year starts, so you and your child can get a grip on what can and can’t be handled with regards to extracurricular Certain extracurricular activities, including sports, require larger activities.

commitments than others.

* Get a grasp of the commitment required of a given activity.

Extracurricular activities require various levels of commitment.

Varsity sport participation, for example, typically requires daily commitment and often requires kids to participate on weekends or even the sport’s “off-season,” which may include summer vacation. However, volunteering with a local charity likely won’t require such a large commitment and such charities often allow volunteers to choose their own schedules. Parents and their children should consider the level of commitment an extracurricular requires and choose the activity they’re most comfortable with.

* Don’t overlook the social benefits of extracurricular activities. When helping kids choose an extracurricular activity, it’s important to leave the ultimate decision in their hands. After all, kids won’t get much of the experience if they’re reluctant to participate. However, parents should not overlook the social benefits of extracurricular activities. Consider those benefits when helping kids choose activities, especially if they’re likely to choose solitary activities like learning a musical instrument.

It’s good to encourage such interests, but also try to encourage a balance between solitary ac-

tivities and ones that encourage socialization with peers, such as a sports team, debate club or volunteering with other students at a local charity. * Don’t forget the fun factor.

Extracurricular activities are not just supposed to instill character, they’re also supposed to be fun. If kids aren’t having fun or showing any interest in a given extracurricular activity, then help them find another one. Kids need time to have fun away from school just like adults need time for fun away from the office. Weigh how enjoyable a given activity figures to be for your youngster before signing them up.

How to help students who need speech therapy Parents who are active in their children’s education often find that such an approach is a great way to recognize any potential problems before they have too significant an impact on a student’s educational experience.

For example, interaction with educators may shed light on a student’s developmental readiness.

Parents often first learn of their children’s strengths and shortcomings when children are exposed to classroom settings and compared to their fellow students. It is here where teachers may first recognize obstacles that could hinder students as they pursue their education.

Parents of preschool and kindergarteners may be made aware of speech issues that may require therapy to address.

The good news is that children often make tremendous strides once they are enrolled in speech therapy. Although determining if a child needs speech therapy can sometimes be confusing and take some effort and testing, parents who receive such a diagnosis about their youngster will need to focus on some skills that can alleviate speech concerns.

Articulation Many children require speech therapy because of a speech delay or an issue with articulating. This relates to the clarity of speech sounds and overall speech. A child’s speech begins with initial sounds as they mimic the adults around them, which will then form words and phrases. It’s common for young children who have difficulty with certain speech sounds to substitute easier sounds for certain letters or sound blends. But if

inconsistent speech articulation or improper sound usage extends beyond a certain age, this may require treatment.

Fluency and resonance Some children receive speech therapy due to disorders like stuttering or prolonging sounds and syllables. When the flow of speech is interrupted by abnormal stoppages or repetition, this can be distracting to both

the child and those around him or her.

Some children have problems with the pitch, volume or quality of their voice. These problems can distract listeners from what’s being said and make it difficult to communicate.

Many parents opt to work with a speech-language pathologist one-on-one. These services may be covered through a health insurance plan. School districts may offer low- or no-cost speech therapy for students who need speech assistance. These may be conducted in solo sessions or as part of a group. Parents should inquire about speech testing at their child’s school and if any services are offered.

Once the source of the problem has been identified, a therapist can develop a treatment plan to fix some of the problems. Homework exercises can help parents continue lessons between therapy sessions.

How to improve your child’s eyesight

It is true that everything is important when it comes to children’s health but paying attention to their eyes frequently is a praiseworthy plan.

(NC) The primary guideline for your little ones is easy to follow: schedule the first eye exam by six months; keep watching for eye issues like crossed eyes and lazy eye, as well as symptoms like squinting, droopy lids, or watery eyes; and before kindergarten begins, schedule an eye exam to determine if glasses are needed.

And when it comes to those glasses and contact lenses, opticians will give you dedicated guidance to enhance the way your children see.

The optician profession is regulated in Canada and this gives you a highly-trained individual to first interpret your child’s prescription, to help you choose the right frames, answer your questions, and then he or she works to exacting standards to produce the perfect lens to meet rigorous national standards.

Here are some tips for ensuring your

child receives the best vision possible: Frame first: The most important criteria when selecting prescription eyeglasses is how they fit. The lens centre must match the line of sight. Size, shape, and fit should be guided by the optician teaming up with the child and parent.

Either a plastic or metal frame will work well.

Lazy eye: This muscle problem occurs in 1 out of 25 children. One, or both eyes may wander especially if the child is tired. Bifocal lenses, patching, or surgery are effective for strengthen eye muscles.

Playing sports: The best place for a child’s eyeglasses when he or she is playing a sport is not in their backpack, but on their nose. A child won’t play well with blurry vision so instead, invest in

well-fitting eyeglass frames with break resistant lenses. Also look into purchasing sports glasses.

Touchdown: What do a football and astigmatism have in common? The shape.

An astigmatic cornea has two major curves on the surface. One is steeper, the other flatter. A football is flatter from tip to tip than it is around the circumference.

Contact lenses: This decision is not based on age, but maturity.

Only you as a parent can decide the level of your child’s maturity. You can consult with an optician for an expert opinion.

For more eye health facts every mother should know, check out www.weloveyoureyes.ca, where the Opticians Council of Canada – with support from The Foundation Fighting Blindness - is running an interactive program with inviting prizes.

The origins of Labour Day T

hough millions of Canadians now see the first Monday in September as one last opportunity to enjoy some summer recreation with friends and family members, Labour Day is symbolic of much more than long weekends

and backyard barbecues.

Labour Day was inspired in large part by Canada’s growing industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, when competition for work in the nation’s rapidly growing cities was fierce and work-

ers who complained of long workweeks or poor working conditions could easily be replaced. Such was the case in Toronto in 1872, when printers threatened to strike after years of lobbying for shorter workweeks. Those protests went ignored, and on March 25, 1872, the city’s printers went on strike.

Within weeks, other workers in the city began to support the printers, whose strike had interrupted Toronto’s thriving publishing industry. Within three weeks of the printers going on strike, 2,000 workers marched through the streets of Toronto. The number of marchers gradually grew, and eventually 10 percent of the city’s population, or 10,000 people, had joined in the march that culmi-

nated at Queen’s Park.

But the striking worker’s efforts did not go unchallenged, as Toronto Globe founder George Brown replaced his printers with workers from nearby towns and even took legal action to put an end to the strike and have its organizers arrested for criminal conspiracy.

But Prime Minister John A. MacDonald, who worked on the opposite side of the political aisle as Brown, spoke out against the publisher’s efforts during a public demonstration at City Hall. MacDonald eventually passed the Trade Union Act, decriminalizing trade unions, and set the leaders of the strike free.

Though many printers who walked out never regained their jobs, and those that did still did not earn shorter workweeks, their efforts did mark an important step forward with regard to worker’s rights in Canada.

The movement that had started in Toronto soon spread to other Canadian cities, where workers also demanded shorter workweeks.

Other cities also adopted parades in honor of the march that first caught the attention of MacDonald in 1872, and in 1894 then-Prime Minister Sir John Thompson officially declared Labour Day a national holiday.

LABOUR DAY 2014

Play it smart for Labour Day festivities D

espite the name, many Canadians don’t labor much on Labour Day. Rather, the federal holiday pays homage to working men and women, and has done so since 1894. Most people associate Labour Day with a chance to gather with family and friends for one last summer hurrah. This year Labour Day falls on Monday, the 3rd of September and will mark the unofficial end to the summer season for Canadians in the 10 provinces and 3 territories, as well as their American neighbors to the south.

The last big travel weekend of the summer, Labour Day weekend witnesses many Canadians taking to the roads in search of their final adventure before school begins anew or business returns to normal hours after the relaxed summer season.

Rural destinations typically notice a spike in tourism come Labour Day weekend. Savvy travelers know to plan ahead before embarking on a Labour Day weekend getaway.

A major weekend for tourism, Labour Day weekend finds hundreds of cars on the roadways, all heading to similar destinations. Sitting in stop-and-go traffic is often the bane of anyone looking to relax on the last summer weekend of the year. It also can be taxing on a car. It is essential to have your car, van or truck inspected to be sure it’s in proper working order. It pays to have an oil change and to have fluid levels topped off. Also, have tires checked and the pressure adjusted. Taking each of these routine maintenance precautions can help reduce the likelihood of being stranded on the side of the road as you watch happy Labour Day revelers drive by.

Although many people like to get a jump-start on travel plans by leaving early, this practice has grown more commonplace, so leaving early no longer guarantees less traffic. One way to beat traffic is to do the majority of your driving in the evening. And because the scores of vacationers will be rushing back for work and school in time for Tuesday morning, you may want to consider leaving very early Labour Day morning or the night prior to beat the traffic home. Doing so means planning the majority of your festivities for the weekend instead of Labour Day itself.

Because Labour Day is a recognized holiday, bank and government offices will be closed. Some stores or restaurants may be working on holiday hours, as will public transportation. Knowing this in advance can help you plan accordingly. Despite Labour Day being a holiday in both Canada and the United States, border points

between the countries will still be staffed.

Therefore, if you’re traveling between the two countries, be sure to have all proper documentation with you and at the ready.

If yours is a long trip, be sure to bring adequate refreshments with you. This will reduce the need to stop at rest stops and pay premium prices for food. Take-alongsnacks are also more healthy because they allow drivers to choose healthy snacks as opposed to roadside fare, which is typically

fast food. Be sure to also pack activities for children to keep them occupied.

Some people prefer to avoid the travel rush and host a party at home. Because stores will fill up with shoppers nearer to the weekend, try to shop as early as possible in the week to cut down on shopping with the crowds. Many people host their own events, so if you’re planning on throwing a party or barbecue, alert guests well in advance.

Labour Day is also a holiday when peo-

ple take to the water. Seasides are often filled, backyard pools become oases and traffic on lakes and waterways is bustling with boats and water sports equipment. It is vital to brush up on water safety to avoid injury. Here are some tips to avoid waterrelated accidents or injuries. * Visit a Canadian Red Cross center to take a swimming course. * Do not drink alcohol and captain a boat. * By law, boats are required to have enough life jackets/personal flotation devices on board for everyone. They also should be properly sized for the passengers on board. Life jackets need to be approved by Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard, or Fisheries and Oceans Canada. * An infant and small children may drown in less than two inches of water.

Never leave a child alone around water. * Constant supervision is needed when children are around water. Adults need supervision, too. Always swim with a buddy. * Keep gates around pools latched so that children cannot wander near the pool and accidentally fall in. * Swim at beaches manned by a lifeguards. * Pay attention to all safety notices regarding potential swimming hazards in the water.

Labour Day is a time to relax and enjoy the end of summer. Plan ahead so it can be a fun time for all.

Origins of Labour Day rooted in a workers’ strike T

hough many Canadians now see Labour Day as little more than a summer holiday, its origins trace back to a significant time in Canadian history. By the second half of the 19th century, Canadian cities were experiencing an influx of immigrants that caused populations to grow considerably. This coincided with a changing workplace that was relying more and more on machines, putting workers in an unenviable position. Workers’ once-special skills were now being handled by machines, leaving the working class with little leverage and no recourse to protest low wages, long hours or poor working conditions. Workers who made such protestations were easily replaced, so many simply ac-

cepted what their employers had to offer, regardless of how poor that offer was.

Such was the reality in Toronto in 1872, when the Toronto Printers Union began to lobby its employers for a shorter work week. When their demands were ignored, workers went on strike in late March. The strike proved a blow to Toronto’s publishing industry, which had to sit by and watch as a group of 2,000 workers marched through the streets of Toronto in mid-April. As the protesters marched, they garnered more and more support, and eventually the crowd of marchers had expanded to 10,000, or 10 percent of the city’s population.

Though the published industry might have been dealt a significant blow, the response from industry leaders, including Toronto Globe founder George Brown, was less than

pleasant. Legal action was taken against the leaders of the strike, and replacement workers from neighboring towns were brought in. But Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, a political adversary of Brown’s, supported the workers, eventually passing the Trade Union Act that decriminalized unions and led to the strike leaders’ release from jail.

Despite support from the Prime Minister, many workers still lost their jobs, and the goal of a shorter work week was not immediately achieved. But the strike was a significant moment in Canadian history, showing workers they were not powerless. In addition, an annual parade was held in honor of the workers who went on strike, and this celebration soon spread to cities throughout Canada. By 1894, these parades were officially recognized when then-Prime Minister Sir John Thompson declared Labour Day a national holiday.

We wish to recognize the important contribution each of you makes to benefit our wonderful City each and every day. Enjoy your Labour Day!

If you’re a follower of renovation reality shows, the “Bottom line, what’s this going to cost me” question is asked, oh maybe a dozen times or so in 30 minutes. This question is almost always followed with “and how long will it take to get it done?” While these shows are great fun from a before and after perspective, the harsh reality (pardon the pun) is there are now homeowners who, after logging 5,000 hours of “Buy it, Fix it, Sell it” are under the delusion they have graduated from SHGTV (School of HGTV) with a double major in Construction and Estimating; all from the comfort of their own home.

Tina bought a house from Ian, a recent SHGTV grad. She fell in love with the granite and stainless steel for sure; the basement family room could easily have been a contender on Disgusting Dungeon to Designer Dream; and the master closet organizer gave her plenty of room for her 253 pairs of shoes. As a Reality Show Apprentice, Tina had oodles of construction confidence and decided to turn Basement Bath into Spa Retreat. With sledgehammer in hand, eye protection on, she trashed and bashed for at least 5 minutes, took a commercial break, and returned wondering why the project wasn’t at least 50% complete by now (did

Apparently Ian had missed the classes on What Not To Do and simply made the problem go away by using the old Cover It Up technique.

Real Contractor found a crack in the foundation where water had been seeping for years.

The crack would need repair and bathroom and family room floor removed, dried out and rebuilt. Real Electrician traced the exposed (and live) wires back to an overloaded junction box in the family room ceiling, definitely not safe and not to code.

in a shambles, Tina decided to hang up her Reality Show Apprentice hat to become a Reality Show Couch Potato and hired a Real Contractor.

“Bottom line, what’s this going to cost me” and “how long will it take to get it done?” she asked. “I should have a quote for you by the end of the week and a schedule once I’ve talked to the excavation company, my electrician, plumber, drywaller, painter and floor layer” Real Contractor replied. Hmmmm, Tina thought, no ‘off the cuff’ quote and they can’t start today….maybe this is Reality.
