Equine therapy used for PTSD treatment TRE VO R CR AWL EY

A recent government funding announcement has the potential to go a long way towards studying a novel treatment for veterans with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Announced by Veterans Affairs earlier this week, the federal government is providing $250,000 to research the benefits of equine therapy for military veterans who are living with PTSD. It’s a treatment that hits close to home in the region, as a veterans

group based out of Kimberley have been using the therapy, which has gone a long way to helping local veterans manage their symptoms.

PTSD is classified as an anxiety disorder and symptoms can manifest if an individual experiences a traumatic events.

Military Ames, a group headed up by Cindy Postnikoff out of Kimberley, is an organization created to provide camaraderie and a safe environment for local veterans to stay connected with each other.

Aerial views of (left to right) Wildstone Golf Course, Shadow Mountain Golf Course, St. Eugene Golf Course.

ScoreGolf focuses on local courses Continued from page 1 Chris Andrews, General Manager at Wildstone Golf Course in Cranbrook, said it was a great honour for the two courses to make the ranking, but he added that it speaks to the quality of golf in the whole area.

“It’s a great golf destination,” Andrews said of the Cranbrook-Kimberley area. “We work regularly with all the golf courses within the half hour — the guests are coming in, staying at St. Eugene, staying in local hotels.

They stay up in Kimberley as well, and they play all seven courses that we’ve got locally.

“But it’s great, this recognition.

You’ve got a couple of courses that will draw maybe a little more attention with that recognition and be part of destination packages for folks that will be coming into town.”

While visiting golfers are constanting remarking on the quality of the golf courses themselves, there are a lot of intangibles that make the golf experience unique.

“Courses conditions are superb, and we try to focus on that,” Andrews said. “But the stunning scenery that all the courses have and share, as well as a vibrant community are a big part of that as well.

“And the variety of golf is great.

You’re not just coming in to play one course, you’re here to play three or four.”

Andrews said he went up in the ScoreGolfTV helicopter while they were here, getting a sense of the geography. “We did a spin over all the golf courses. We went over Fort Steele, and up to Fisher Peak — it’s strong

mountain peak you can see behind St. Eugene (Golf Course), or when you finish 18 at Shadow Mountain you see it, when you play Wildstone as well.”

Andrews said ScoreGolf hadn’t been out to the area for quite a few years, “so it was a great update for them.”

Also on hand was Bob Weeks — the former editor of ScoreGolf and currently the golf analyst for TSN. “He’s the go-to guy for golf in Canada,” Andrews said. “He represents TSN at the British Open, the U.S. Open, the PGA … “(The ScoreGolf crew) stayed at St. Eugene, they played golf courses, the came and shot the episode, then went downtown to the Heid-Out for food and drink, shot some footage of the city.”

The episodes are airing currently on TSN — running eight times over a two week period. Once they wrap up, they will be presented on line. So people can watch the episode locally if they can’t watch it on TSN. As for the over-all season, Andrews says the golfing has been great.

“It’s been a good season for all the golf courses that I’ve talked to. The numbers are strong. A lot of visitors coming in and playing multi-course packages. The economic impact those visitors is great for the communities.”

Burdock gone to seed

Blueweed

Common Tansy

Season of the invaders

Barry Coulter

As southern B.C. labours under an ongoing drought, many kinds of tough, hardy plants are thriving. Fields of invasive weeds are in full bloom in many vacant industrial lots around Cranbrook, and the short window of opportunity for fighting them is just about past.

Frank Hastings, who has been working for a contractor hired by the City of Cranbrook and private businesses to eradicate weeds in targeted areas, recently conducted a tour for the botanically minded, to see land where the weeds have been allowed to thrive and others where they have been cleaned out.

A who’s who of invasive weeds are in full flower around vacant lots in Cranbrook; Pulling them up is still the best form of combat

Earlier that day, Hastings and two others spent two hours pulling weeds out along a 100metre stretch of Mission Road. Eleven giant garbage bags of weeds were the result, which were taken to the dump later.

“Eleven garbage bags in two hours by three guys,” Hastings said. “I challenge city crews to beat that!”

Many weed species are in full flower and going to seed: a who’s

who of invasive flora, some species which has been growing in the area for decades, some only recently arrived.

And of all these unwelcome aliens, these colonizing visitors, knapweed is the king.

Hastings explains that knapweed can suck water deep out of the ground with its taproot, so it can prosper in drought conditions.

Each knapweed plant can produce 40,000

seeds per plant — “So with that number of seeds, it’s success rate doesn’t have to be very high.”

Knapweed also puts a chemical into the ground — catechin — which inhibits the germination of the seeds of other species. Knapweed is almost a super-species — a super-invasive species.

“Because it’s Eurasian in origin,” Hastings said, “It’s not considered

food by wildlife or livestock.” He added that some local ranchers have been training their cattle to eat knapweed, introducing it into their diet so they get a taste for it.”

Right now, the best main window for controlling the invasives is past. By and large all the species are in flower, and whether humans like them or not, the bees love them. So herbicides can no longer be used without causing harm to bee populations.

Hastings says that the best combat is still the most labour intensive — pulling the weeds out by hand.

Mowing is another option, especially early on, which prevents the weeds from flowering and going to seed, and also starves the roots. Judicious application of herbicide during the twomonth window of June and July is also effective. But pulling remains the best option.

The vacant property between Elizabeth Lake and the highway, where the water slides used to be, is a vast field of knapweed and other invasives including dalmation toadflax, curled dock, common tansy, burdock and mullein (which weed contractors generally leave alone, as its seeds provide food for birds).

There are also tall clusters of sweet clover, which is not considered invasive and is generally left alone.

Hastings said because of the proximity of Elizabeth Lake and Jim Smith Creek, spraying is less of an option — no herbicide can be put

down with 15 metres of a body of water. The best recourse, he says, is to have teams of weed pullers hit the field and pull up the weeds by hand.

In this regard, Hastings said, a recent idea of the City of Cranbrook to train teams of summer students to pull weeds is a good idea. “What I’d start doing is mowing and bagging the flower stalks, then pulling and

Hedge Bind Weed bagging stems and roots.”

Driving along Cobham Road to the industrial section of Cranbrook, Hastings points out how clean and weed-free the roadsides are. High traffic industrial areas are City priorities for weed eradication, and businesses like Fiorentino Contracting and Tundra Steel make the effort to clean weeds out of their properties.

But out along Echo Field Road on the way out of town is the field where the stock car race track used to be — another expanse of knapweed — both spotted knapweed (purple flowers) and diffuse knapweed (white flowers),

Yellow Tar Weed along with species like blueweed, sow thistle and goats beard, proliferate. Hastings shows a plant with short stems and yellow flowers — yellow gum weed. “It’s not listed as invasive yet,” he says, “but it’s been coming in fast.”

The big empty cityowned lot by Save-On Foods is mostly clean, except for the area used to dump snow in winter.

A lot of the city’s gravel trucks used for hauling away snow will be carrying weed seeds from the summer, and that area is covered with tall, thickstemmed weeds, baby’s breath and hedge bind weed. Hastings shows another relative newcomer — yellow tar weed. “It’s native to the Pacific Northwest, but it’s been making its way here.”

The big industrial lots covered with invasive weeds are one thing, but Hastings is interested in more awareness of the issue among residents. “Most people wouldn’t know an invasive weed if it hit them,” he said.

Private property owners could contribute by learning to identify different invasive species and how to eradicate them. Hastings envisions things like information booths at the Farmer’s Market, for example, so that information is readily available.

The Regional District of East Kootenay and the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council are also both heavily involved in the battle against invasive species, and the education thereof.

Equine therapy helps treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Continued from page 1 “This news that the government is going to do some research is a great thing, because if Veterans Affairs would recognize it, there would be a lot more veterans that would benefit from it,” Postnikoff said.

Back in April, Postnikoff, along with a few veterans, did a set of six sessions using equine therapy out at a ranch in Wycliffe to help treat and manage PTSD symptoms.

A veteran, who requested anonymity to protect his privacy, participated in the sessions and said equine therapy has helped treat his PTSD symptoms.

“It’s pretty cool—it’s the benefit of getting a veteran out of the house and into something where they’re focusing on an activity and it’s a new experience, maybe pushing their comfort zone, which a lot of vets that are suffering, really have a hard time getting out,” he said.

“It’s a lot easier to

hide in your basement or stay in your house and not go out and deal with people or be concerned about being laughed at because a car backfires and you dive for the ground.”

The veteran served with the Canadian Forces during peacekeeping missions in Bosnia the 1990s and also in other countries during his military service.

To start off the equine therapy ses-

sions, each veteran chooses a horse that they find a connection with and a facilitator will note in which ways the horse mirrors behaviour of the individual.

As an example, the veteran explained one of the exercises of the session that he participated in.

“I participated in a few things, like an exercise where I bring this horse over here and

pick a few points in this field that you want to walk the horse around to,” he said.

“And then, it’s how I interact with the horse and how the horse reacts to my interaction.

Basically, the horse didn’t want to be pulled around the field, which is exactly like me—if someone tries to make me go somewhere, I dig my heels in.

So it’s that kind of thing, where it’s just a

mirroring of your own issues and then there’s opportunities for some really magical connections.”

While it may not sound like something revolutionary, it’s in observing the interactions between the individual and the horse that can be applied to real-life situations outside the therapy sessions, he said.

“Like leading the horse around, if someone is telling me what to do, or if I’m trying to get somebody else to do something, I’m going to think more, which is going to allow me more rational action,” the veteran said.

“So that’s a big thing for PTSD I think, is just having a reminder to really consider what’s going on in our circumstance, rather than just reacting.”

A 2013 survey from the Canadian Armed Forces revealed that 5.3 per cent of members reported experiencing

PTSD in the prior year.

The veteran also noted that military members, or civilians for that matter, don’t even have to leave home in order for PTSD symptoms to appear.

Though he had been in counselling for almost two years, the equine therapy was a new avenue of treatment that has made an immediate impact on his mental health, he said.

“I’m not sure if it’s really new, I just think it’s something that hasn’t been explored or appreciated and, for

myself, I really didn’t have an expectation of it helping me when I first went in,” he said.

“Coming out the other side, it’s like those real-people testimonies ‘Oh, yeah, this really works, it’s cool’ “I didn’t realize it was going to be such a positive driving impact.”

Military Ames meets twice a month in Kimberley as a way for veterans to connect through the bonds forged by military service. For more information about the organization, contact Postnikoff at 250-919-3137.

Medical pot dispensers look to Kimberley MEMBERS SALE C AROLYN GR ANT

Ever since granting a business license for Tamarack Dispensaries — which will sell medical marijuana tinctures and edibles for those with prescriptions — Kimberley has been attracting a lot of attention and interest from those looking to set up medical marijuana businesses.

Mayor Don McCormick says he has been fielding a lot of calls, from those looking to set up businesses, and from other municipalities looking for advice on how Kimberley went about granting a business license when federal law is a grey area.

“We’ve had phone calls,” McCormick said. “A couple of municipalities have asked for details and background. We’re not the only community grappling with this.”

At City Council on Monday evening, Council heard from a delegation looking to set up another medical marijuana dispensary. DBA Kimberley Botanicals is looking to sell oils, creams, salves and the dried product — no edibles.

McCormick says that Council listened to the business plan but made no decision.

“They didn’t ask for a business license,” he said. “They have a plan but there was no specific ask.”

In any event, McCormick says it will be somewhat familiar territory for Council as they have just dealt with Tamarack Dispensaries. But Council may not be ready to grant another business license for another medical marijuana dispensary.

“My feeling, and I haven’t polled Council yet, is we want to give Tamarack some time so we can learn from them.”

Kimberley was the first municipality in the province to grant a business license to a business of this type but McCormick says it was simply done to support a local entrepreneur.

“We are not advocating for the industry, just following a request for support from a local business.

“It really is a grey area. The police have chosen not to enforce it, particularly in Vancouver, because the courts have not moved to convict on these charges. The police are not taking action and municipalities are generally turning a blind eye to these businesses operating without a license.

Until there is a clear, legislative

direction, that is likely to continue.”

A few days after Kimberley granted the business license to Tamarack Dispensaries, Vancouver City Council announced it would deal with the issue through bylaws, which McCormick said he was glad to see.

While Kimberley issuing the business license was duly noted around the province, McCormick says it’s really not a big deal.

“The business license is a recognition that a business is being allowed to open. There is no legality around it. It is representative of a business’s legitimacy.”

As for a number of medical marijuana dispensaries potentially wanting to set up in Kimberley, they will be dealt with on a business by business basis, though McCormick says competition is not really an issue.

“An awful lot of this business is done through mail order. Even if we had half a dozen of them in the community, much is mail order. It’s big business. I read the other day that there are 50,000 people in Canada with prescriptions for medical marijuana.

That’s a big number.”

COTR receives trades funding Towns ma n S ta f f

The provincial government is investing $211,126 in new trades equipment at the College of the Rockies to support local students training for occupations critical to the economy, as part of B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint.

The College of the Rockies will use the funding to purchase welders, vibration monitoring equipment, a hydraulic puller set with mechanical pliers, and power quality analysers.

“B.C. expects a million jobs by 2022 and many of them will be in the East Kootenay,” Kootenay East MLA Bill

Bennett said. “Ensuring our workers have the skills they need to fill those jobs is a key part of the Skills for Jobs Blueprint. This funding is an example of how our government is responsive to labour-market needs in our region.”

Earlier this year, the government announced $325,274 to purchase new tools and equipment at COTR. In addition, $358,440 in funding since 2014 has created 112 additional seats at COTR, helping to reduce wait lists in high-demand trades programs.

Stan Chung, the Vice President, Education and Applied Research

at the College, says the funding is helping transform trades programs at COTR. “A lot of people don’t realize that we’re gradually becoming a state of the art trades training institution,” Chung said.

“We had older equipment and in older days, we weren’t getting the kind of funding that we’re getting now, so we’re really excited to have state of the art equipment for trades training.”

He notes that trades programs are becoming very popular and that now is a good time to go back to school in light of slowdowns in the coal and oil and gas indus-

tries.

“It’s a good time to make a commitment, maybe make a longer commitment towards a career,” he added.

Much of the funding will go towards high-demand programs such as heavy duty mechanics, welding and industrial mechanics (formerly millwright).

“Those programs are hot right now,” Chung said. “Good high-paying jobs, welders are making tons of money and heavy duty is our top in-demand program now.”

The B.C. government is investing $185 million over three years in new trades training

equipment and facilities to support students entering in-demand sectors, including LNG, shipbuilding and ship repairs and construction.

B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint lays out a major shift to a data-driven system where training dollars and programs are targeted to jobs in demand.

Funding and programs are evolving to meet labour market needs.

The B.C. government predicts that there will be one million job openings in the province by 2022, with 78 per cent of those requiring post-secondary education.

Cranbrook Army Cadet tops in platoon in Vernon For the Townsman

VERNON, B.C. Cadet Dawson Bell of Cranbrook, B.C., was the top cadet in 24 Platoon of the Basic Expedition Course during the first intake at Vernon Cadet Training Centre (VCTC).

Cadet Bell is a member of 1813, Cranbrook, Royal Canadian Army Cadets.

Cadet Bell and 53 other army cadets attended the three-week Basic Expedition Course which provides cadets with the fundamentals of expedition training.

Activities include navigation, a five-day expedition and adventure training.

During the summer, more than 1,500 army, navy and air cadets from

western Canada will have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

The Cadet Program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work

skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.

The 1813 Army Cadet Crops is fundraising for a trip to Vimy Ridge to mark the centennial of the famous First World War battle in 2017.

Following the ceremonies, the group is planning to do a tour of Europe to go to other sites of historical significance during the First and Second World Wars.

The cadets need to put in a down payment on their trip in August and are still a little short of their fundraising goal.

If any businesses are interested in corporate sponsorship or has any fundraising initiatives, contact Barb Smythe at cranbrookarmycadets@ gmail.com.

Donald sounding the Trump-et

As

of right now, Donald Trump is a legitimate politician.

Have a laugh, get it out of your system, then read on.

Now that you’ve recovered, let me explain.

The Donald is now leading the polling for the Republican presidential nomination. He is on top of a list that includes Jeb Bush, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, among others.

The Huffington Post, a media organization that relies on freelance journalism, has declared that their coverage of Trump will be put in the entertainment section rather than in politics.

While one can understand the reasoning behind the decision, the fact that he is polling on top of the field makes that decision a wrong one.

While the rest of the world eyes the upcoming (and never-ending) election with unease and/or disbelief at the possibility of Trump in the White House, it seems as if Republican voters have taken a liking to the brash businessman.

Despite making a few gaffes that would’ve sunk the average politician, such as referring to Mexicans illegally entering America as rapists and criminals or calling into question the integrity of Senator John McCain’s record as a former POW in the Vietnam War, Trump remains popular in the polls.

Much of his popularity has do to with the novelty of his run.

Trump already has a high profile in America due to his reality show, the Apprentice.

He has name recognition, which is what every politician craves.

Though some question how he got there and how much he is worth, he is a bona fide billionaire and what people look to as an example of the American Dream.

One of the main things Trump has going for him— Trevor Crawley right now—is that he’s not a Bush or a Clinton.

Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are both legitimate candidates to capture their respective party nominations. Bush, regardless of how you feel about H.W. or W, is one of the more moderate voices in the Republican field, while Clinton has the savvy and experience to get herself on the Democratic presidential ticket.

However, both have millstones around their necks; Bush has the unpopular legacy of his brother’s tenure in office while Hillary has the same with her long political career in the Senate and her time as First Lady when husband Bill was in the Oval Office.

Surely the American public must be thinking that there are other presidential candidates out there who don’t have the last name of Bush or Clinton. After all, the desire for something fresh is something

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

that Trump is capitalizing on right now, just as Barack Obama did in 2008.

While it may not work out for him in the long run, his antics and willingness to say whatever is on on his mind is also another reason for his lead in the polls.

Trump’s public spat with Senator Lindsay Graham by giving out his personal cell phone number at a political rally was as theatrical as it gets in politics.

And that can be a quality that a certain segment of voters admire—a willingness to say or do anything despite how politically offensive or incorrect it may be. A feigning of authenticity, if you will.

Trump’s lead will likely not last as the election date gets closer and the American public has had a chance to hear his thoughts in the primary debates. His lead right now is at the forefront of public consciousness in part because of the 24/7 news cycle’s insatiable appetite for filling airtime.

Will more moderate Republican candidates put a dent into Trump’s polling?

Eventually, yes, and I predict that will come right around when the GOP primary debates start happening.

However, the primary season doesn’t start till next January, giving plenty of time for Trump to further articulate his vision for America or put his foot back in his mouth.

Which, depending on one’s perspective, can be one and the same thing.

Opinion/Events

The reunification of Cyprus? What’s Up? It was not so much a straw in the wind as a cheese in the wind. It’s a chewy, salty cheese that is delicious grilled: halloumi, as they call it in the Greek-speaking Republic of Cyprus, or hellim, as it is known in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus.

This week, the island’s two rival governments jointly applied to the European Union to give halloumi/hellim “Protected Designation of Origin” status, like French champagne or Greek feta, so that no other producer can use the name. It was a small miracle.

Cyrus has been divided since 1974, when a bloody coup backed by the generals’ regime in Athens, intended to unite the island with the “mother country”, was answered by a Turkish invasion to protect the Turkish-Cypriot minority. Turkey ended up holding the northern third of the island, and Greek-Cypriots who lived in that part of Cyprus fled south while Turkish-Cypriots in the southern part of the island fled north.

When the dust settled, there were two Cypruses: the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus, now almost exclusively Greek-speaking, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), recognised by nobody except Turkey. Fortyone years later, Cyprus is still divided – but maybe not for much longer.

The Greek-Cypriots have done much better since the split. With a legitimate state that is now a member of the European Union, they can trade and travel freely, and per capita income on the Greek side is twice what that of the Turk-

ish side. But it hasn’t all been roses: the Greek-Cypriot banks ran wild during the boom years, and the country is just emerging from an EU-backed bail-out that hurt a lot.

For the Turkish-Cypriots, time is running out. There are only 120,000 of them, and they are already outnumbered by the Turkish immigrants, most of them ill-educated and unskilled, who have flooded in since 1974. In the past ten Gwynne years, with a conservative Islamic government in Turkey, Dyer they have also been facing the creeping Islamisation of their traditionally secular society.

So the Turkish-Cypriots have good reason to seek a deal that gives them their own state within a reunited, federal Cyprus. For Greek-Cypriots a deal is less urgent, but with 30,000 Turkish troops still on the island and neighbours whose identity is becoming more Turkish and less Cypriot their future is uncertain. The problem is that presidents come and go, and there are rarely presidents on both sides willing to make a deal at the same time.

Now there are. Mustafa Akinci was elected president of the TRNC in April, and immediately asked to start reunification talks with his opposite number, President Nicos Anastasiades – who immediately agreed. “The passage of time is not helping a solution,” said Akinci. “The more time passes, the more the division becomes consolidated.”

There is much optimism about these talks, because both leaders understand that there can be no going back to the good old days before 1974 (good for the

Greek-Cypriots, at least, although many Turkish-Cypriots were living under siege in barricaded ghettoes). Most of the refugees of 1974 (or their descendants) will not be going “home” again. Too much has happened, and even now Turkish-Cypriots would not feel safe in a unitary state.

But a federal republic with two states, each largely but not exclusively communal, is perfectly possible. It would free Turkish-Cypriots from their long isolation, and expand economic opportunities for people in both communities. The Turkish army would go home, the barbed wire and entrenchments of the “Green Line” would vanish, and Nicosia, the world’s last divided capital, would be one city again.

It is just good sense, and Presidents Akinci and Anastasiades will probably make the deal – Akinci reckons they will be there before the end of the year. There is just one problem. A very similar reunification was negotiated in 2003-04 with the help of the European Union and the blessings of both the United Nations and the United States.

In the 2004 referendum, the Turkish Cypriots voted for it by a two-to-one majority, but the Greek-Cyriots rejected it by a crushing three-to-one majority. After all, they greatly outnumber the Turkish-Cypriots and they are far richer.

Things are peaceful right now, so why should they compromise?

Because Cyprus lives in a very dangerous neighbourhood, and it’s a really bad idea to keep the old domestic hostilities going as well.

Conservative photo ops buying votes

W

hat is the price of winning an election? Steep, if the ultra-busy summer by the Conservative government and its MPs is an indication.

The Harper government, which lays claim to fiscal responsibility, has been giving money away like it has developed an allergy to the plastic in the new currency.

Or at least the prime minister, cabinet ministers and members of parliament would have us believe they have suddenly discovered the need to put billions of taxpayers’ dollars back into their pockets.

In one of the boldest and brazen moves in my political memory, about $3 billion was mailed out or deposited to the accounts of parents last week, purportedly to help with the cost of child care. Can a thousand bucks (for parents of two preschoolers) buy a vote? Time will tell. But if it can, it will be the vote of a person with a spectacularly short memory. Keep in mind that this is the same government that knocked off the Child Tax Credit not so long ago, putting parents deeper into the hole at the time. And now, suddenly, about 100 days from a federal election, the Conservatives are spending like Santa and ignoring that fact that they have been saving like Scrooge, all at the expense of the families for which Team Harper expresses such great fondness.

It’s hard to find fault with the folks who got the money (and who will get monthly payments in the future), but if they think

they are coming out ahead on the deal they might think about auditing their kids’ math classes. After losing the Child Tax Credit and then paying taxes (the bill will come long after the election) on the new largesse, they won’t be much further ahead than they were a few years ago.

Meanwhile, Conservative MPs having been putting miles on their vehicles in what is usually the quiet summer period, presenting cheques for projects and This is the life even elbowing their way into photo ops for money that Lorne has already been spent. PerEckersley sonally, I’d be embarrassed by the whole thing, but then my job doesn’t involve ruining a country and claiming it’s for our own good.

As pathetic as last week’s vote-buying scheme was, I was equally offended by another bit of news that barely made a blip in the media. Federal bureaucrats and media flacks were instructed to produce three press releases each week that focused on the theme of terrorism. A frightened electorate is less likely to vote for change, and terrorism is almost as frightening as the way this government runs our country.

When the directive was made public, Harper’s response was as predictable as it was facetious. We will not apologize to Canadians for making them aware of the threats we face from terrorists, he said.

I was reminded of a class back when I was studying journalism. We learned of the infamous coverage provided by American

newspapers in the late 1800s, when papers owned by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer made up stories in an effort to shape public support for a war against Spain over its involvement in Cuba. The story goes that a reporter sent to Cuba telegrammed Hearst saying that all was quiet and that “there will be no war.” Hearst was long reputed to have replied, “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.” That particularly incident might have been apocryphal, but it serves as a fair illustration about how Hearst newspapers operated in those days.

With the concentration of national media today the reporting of news is easily manipulated, and there is no reason to believe that Conservative-leaning newspapers, radio and television won’t delight in running with government-reported news releases about terrorist threats. Under Harper’s leadership, federal policing has largely moved its focus from crime to the supposed threats of terrorism, in large part because the latter keeps the population uneasy and fearful. Uncle Steve, much like Uncle Sam, is watching over us and protecting our best interests, the Conservatives would have us believe.

Hogwash, I say. But this Hearst/Karl Rove-like approach worked to perfection in electing and keeping George W. Bush in office for eight years and it’s hardly surprising that the prime minister has bought into the program.

In 2008, Ben Rutledge won an Olympic gold medal as a member of the Canadian men’s eight-plus rowing squad.

Shortly after that, he retired and took to coaching the sport at the University of British Columbia.

Now seven years after his Olympic victory, the 35-year-old Cranbrook native is in pursuit of further Olympic greatness, this time as a junior coach with the Russian women’s eight-plus rowing team.

What makes the Russian rowing revolution so significant is that after finishing second last at the 2014 European Rowing Championships, the team turned around to claim gold at the 2015 European Rowing Championships in Poznan, Poland, a year after Rutledge’s arrival.

With the 2016 Summer Olympic Games right around the corner, the Russian crew is intent on making its way to the podium in Rio De Janiero a year from now.

“The daily focus and effort during the winter months is where you make your biggest gains,” Rutledge wrote via email, giving credit to the team’s dedication to training. “Last summer at the world championships, they were able to improve very quickly in a short period of time in our environment and that has helped them stay focused and motivated through the long winter.”

As a junior coach, Rutledge isn’t the only man responsible for helping with the rejuvenation of the Russian women’s rowing program. In fact, he characterizes himself as merely a cog in the much bigger machine that is the Russian Rowing Federation.

While still competing in Canada, Rutledge was guided by Mike Spracklen -- a veteran coach of nine Summer Olympic Games. According to Rutledge, it is the former International Rowing Federation coach of the

year who is largely responsible for Russia’s sharpened edge on the global rowing scene.

Spracklen took over the Russian men’s rowing program in the fall of 2014, helping the eightplus team to a silver-medal performance at the 2014 European Rowing Championships.

Having seen the turnaround of the men’s team, the Russian Rowing Federation set Spracklen to work his magic with the women’s eight-plus squad. But Spracklen wasn’t about to do it on his own. He insisted on having someone who understood his system.

Enter Rutledge.

“I had been staying in contact with Mike and had told him if he ever needed any help I’d be keen to be involved,” Rutledge wrote.

“I had some friends looking out for me and had run into the leadership of the Russian federation, letting them know I could be available. So they contacted me and I went over last summer on a trial basis.”

According to Rutledge, the program was well organized and well funded with motivated athletes upon his arrival, but unfortunately, they had yet to achieve much success internationally. “[Spracklen] had spent the past six months developing a work ethic with the men’s team,” Rutledge wrote. “When I came in to coach the women, they had good role models to follow.”

It didn’t take long for Spracklen’s system and Rutledge’s guidance to have an impact on the women’s eight-plus team, which beat out the likes of the Netherlands, Romania, Germany, Great Britain and Belarus to claim gold at the 2015 European Rowing Championships on May 31.

du Toit hits Oregon in search of Pacific Northwest success Kimberley golfer in pursuit of another title, this time at Pacific Coast Amateur Championship in Eugene

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Jared du Toit’s summer on the links wears on as he prepares for the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship set for Aug. 10 to 13 in Toronto.

This week, the Kimberley native finds himself at the Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Ore., in search of another title, this time at the 49th Pacific Coast Amateur Championship.

The local linkster sits one-over par in a tie for seventh place after two rounds at Eugene Country Club, four strokes behind leader Will Zalatoris (three-under).

Playing his first round on Tuesday, du Toit fired a two-under 68 before following up with a three-over 73 on Wednesday afternoon.

Eugene Country Club features 6,975 yards of track for competitors to conquer. du Toit is one of five Canadians at the invitational amateur event.

Kevin Carrigan (Victoria) and Brandon

Pats’ QB Brady issues statement on Deflategate, vows fight ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Tom Brady vowed to fight his fourgame suspension for the scandal known as Deflategate, writing Wednesday in a 507word Facebook post: “I did nothing wrong, and no one in the Patriots organization did either.”

Breaking his silence a day after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell upheld the punishment, Brady also denied destroying his cellphone to keep it out of the hands of investigators.

“To suggest that I destroyed a phone to avoid

giving the NFL information it requested is completely wrong,” the threetime Super Bowl MVP said. “There is no ‘smoking gun’ and this controversy is manufactured to distract from the fact they have zero evidence of wrongdoing.”

Brady was suspended four games and the team was docked $1 million and two draft picks after the NFL found improperly inflated footballs were used in the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. Investigator Ted Wells zeroed in on two equipment managers one who called himself

NHL’s Devils place veteran Zubrus on waivers

“The Deflator” - and said Brady was “at least generally aware” of the illegal deflation scheme.

The Patriots went on to win the Super Bowl for their fourth NFL title under Brady and coach Bill Belichick.

Brady, who earlier denied cheating accusations with the tepid “I don’t think so,” defended himself in the Facebook post, claiming he co-operated with the investigation except where doing so would have set

a bad precedent for union brethren.

“I respect the Commissioners authority, but he also has to respect the (collective bargaining agreement) and my rights as a private citizen,” Brady wrote. “I will not allow my unfair discipline to become a precedent for other NFL players without a fight.”

Much of the post involved an explanation of Brady’s cellphone swap, which was cited by Goodell as new evidence of the quarterback’s failure to co-operate. Brady said he replaced a broken phone only after his lawyers told the league

they couldn’t have it.

“Most importantly, I have never written, texted, emailed to anybody at anytime, anything related to football air pressure before this issue was raised at the AFC Championship game in January,” he wrote.

Brady’s comments were liked by 51,000 people - including his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen - in the first 30 minutes after it was posted on Facebook. The Patriots were scheduled to open training camp later Wednesday; it was not clear when Brady would speak to the media for the first time.

NHL Winter Classic returns to Boston

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWARK, N.J. - New Jersey Devils forward Dainius Zubrus was placed on unconditional waivers by the team Wednesday with the intention of ending his contract.

The 37-year-old Zubrus played for the Devils the last eight seasons and was to earn $3.1 million in the final year of a three-year, $9.3 million deal.

The Lithuanian had 10 points in 74 games last season. Zubrus played played in 1,243 NHL games, scoring 225 goals and adding 359 assists.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The Winter Classic is coming to the home of the New England Patriots.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman joined officials from the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens on Wednes-

day to say the Original Six rivals would meet at Gillette Stadium on New Year’s Day. The Bruins will be the first team to host the event twice.

They also hosted it in 2010, at Fenway Park.

Bettman notes that the three organizations are among the most suc-

cessful in their sports, with 34 championships.

The Canadiens have won 24 of those, but the Patriots are the defending Super Bowl champs.

Bettman also says the league has extended the game’s title sponsorship with Bridgestone for another five years.

Ben Rutledge & Russian women row on Continued from Page 10 With European gold on the mantle, the Russian women’s eight-plus team, along with Rutledge, now have their sights set on the podium at the 2015 World Rowing Championships, set for Aug. 30 to Sept. 6 in Aiguebelette, France.

Ultimately, the team is aiming to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. A topfive finish at the 2015 World Championships will achieve that.

“We need to be in the medal hunt this year [at the World Championships] if we expect to have a shot at one next year [in Brazil],” Rutledge wrote.

“Over time, I have come to learn that I get the most satisfaction out of helping people and seeing them succeed.”

Having already claimed his own Olympic gold medal in competition, the Canadian rowing great from the

little mountain town of Cranbrook is intent on guiding his hard-working Russian team to their own Olympic glory in 2016.

The Russian women’s eight team features Julia Kalinovskaya (bow), Yulia Inozemtseva (seat two), Elena Lebedeva (seat three), Anastasia Tkhanova (seat four), Anastasia Karabelshchikova (seat five), Aleksandra Fedorova (seat six), Julia Popova (seat seven), Alevtina Savkina (stroke) and Ksenia Volkova (coxswain).

The team trains in Valday, Russia, located approximately 400 kilometres northwest of Moscow on Lake Valdayskoye.

Rutledge attended Mount Baker Secondary School while growing up in Cranbrook, before moving on to earn a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of British Columbia.

NEWS AUTOMOTION US agency concerned over lion kill ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says it is ready to assist Zimbabwe in its investigation of an American dentist’s killing of a protected African lion and will conduct its own probe.

Laury Parramore of the Fish and Wildlife Service on Wednesday declined to say what the agency might do once it has more information.

But she said the agency was “deeply concerned.”

Walter Palmer of suburban Minneapolis killed the lion named Cecil on a big game hunting trip earlier this month. Police have not said whether Palmer

Cecil the lion will face criminal charges in Zimbabwe.

Palmer said in a statement that he was unaware the lion was protected and relied on his guides to ensure a legal

hunt.

In terms of sport hunting abroad, the United States’ primary authority is over importation of the carcasses, or trophies. Foreign ani-

mals can be listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Parramore said the agency is “currently gathering facts about the issue and will assist Zimbabwe officials in whatever manner requested.”

The agency could potentially find a way to block importation of the animal’s body, or body parts, if Zimbabwean authorities approved it for export.

“It is up to all of us not just the people of Africa - to ensure that healthy, wild populations of animals continue to roam the savanna for generations to come,” she said in a statement.

Ann Hoodicoff Denham Ford Employee The last of the wild horses of Great Abaco island has died, but caretakers are hoping that cloning can one day bring the herd back.

Last wild horse on Bahamas island dies ASSOCIATED PRESS

KINGSTON, Jamaica - The last of the wild horses on Great Abaco island in the Bahamas has died, prompting caretakers to collect tissue for possible cloning and hopefully bring back a viable population.

Milanne Rehor, project director for the Wild Horses of Abaco Preservation Society, said Tuesday that a U.S. veterinarian removed tissue from the dead mare and the material has just been shipped to an animal cloning technology company in Austin, Texas.

“We are sad at the loss. But we are also optimistic because we do have a crack at bringing the herd back,” said Rehor, a 71-year-old New York native who has spent over two decades trying to preserve the wild horses in the northern Bahamas.

Some 60 years ago, as many as 200 wild horses grazed and trotted freely through the scrubland and forests of Great

Abaco, which was once logged for its pine trees.

The horses were imported from Cuba in the late 1800s by a logging company. When the company switched to tractors for pulling logs in the 1940s, the animals were set free and went feral.

The wild horses flourished for a time, then a young child died while trying to ride one of the horses after it had been tamed and townspeople killed all but three of the herd in the early 1960s, according to Rehor’s organization.

The herd rebounded to about 35 animals by the mid-1990s with the help of Rehor and other enthusiasts who secured a preserve for the horses in Abaco’s Treasure Cay. But the remaining horses were sickened by poisonous plants, pesticides and herbicides and were unable to reproduce.

The last one, a roughly 20-year-old mare called Nunki, died in recent days.

Pilot describes free fall after SpaceShipTwo disintegration ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Free-falling miles above the desert, his test spaceship ripped to pieces and the frigid air hard to breathe, pilot Peter Siebold struggled through crippling injuries to turn on his oxygen and just to stay conscious.

Siebold was aware that Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo had violently disintegrated but then blacked out. When

he awoke, still far above the California desert, he repeatedly tried in vain to activate his backup oxygen.

He next remembered the jolt of his parachute automatically opening and the sensation of just having woken up.

Virgin Galactic chief executive George Whitesides described Siebold’s survival at the time as miraculous.

Though bad, his injuries were not life-threatening - his right leg broke in four places, as did his collarbone. He was cut up, extensively bruised

Siebold didn’t realize the extent of his injuries until he landed, falling forward into a creosote bush.

The pilot told investigators that he considered the test flight high risk because SpaceShipTwo was “flying an unproven rocket motor” on an ambitious flight plan.

The motor was not a factor in the accident.

Cosmetic contact lenses like these will soon be licenced like corrective lenses, according to Health Canada.

Health Canada says cosmetic contacts to be licensed like corrective lenses HELEN BR ANSWELL CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Health Canada says it will regulate cosmetic or decorative contact lenses in the way it oversees the sale of corrective lenses.

In a statement, Health Minister Rona Ambrose says the risks cosmetic lenses pose to the eyes of people who wear them are the same as those associated with corrective lens wear.

Cosmetic lenses change the appearance of the eye but do not correct the vision of people who wear them; they are worn strictly for

the appearance they create.

Currently these lenses are licensed as consumer products and are generally sold by retailers who sell costumes and cosmetics.

But under the regulatory changes Ambrose is announcing, these lenses will be treated as medical devices - a move which brings them under greater control.

Vision care professionals have been advocating this kind of action and were supportive of the proposal when Health Canada an-

nounced last October that it was thinking of making this change.

“We’re delighted to see these new regulations are moving ahead,” says Dr. Allan Slomovic, president of the Canadian Ophthalmological Society.

He notes “there is no difference between how cosmetic contact lenses and corrective contact lenses are inserted and interact with the eye and (they) should be regulated the same.”

The Health Canada statement says the risk of severe corneal infection related to lens wear

is 12.5 times higher for cosmetic lenses than it is for corrective contacts.

As medical devices, cosmetic contacts will have to meet the same safety, quality and labelling standards to corrective contact lenses sold in Canada.

The new regulations will come into effect next July.

Health Canada says the delay is to allow manufacturers to bring their operations into compliance with the new regulations.

‘No Locals’ policy disputed by Prince George hotel that turfed mom, kids C ANADIAN PRESS

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. - A hotel in Prince George, B.C., says its employee was “misinformed” when he told a Prince George mother she was not welcome at the establishment.

Esther’s Inn says a new manager at the front desk was wrong to refuse a room to 39-yearold Aimee Bespoyasny and her two teenaged children after learning they are Prince George residents.

According to a statement posted on the Es-

ther’s Inn Facebook page, the hotel vehemently denies having a “no locals” policy and adds the tone and context of the manager’s words don’t reflect the company’s practice and beliefs.

Bespoyasny posted a letter on social media sites saying she planned to stay at the inn to celebrate her birthday and spend some special time with her children, but was rudely turned away.

She says before the manager ordered her to

Possible boundaries for new NWT national park revealed C ANADIAN PRESS

LUTSEL K’E, N.W.T. The likely boundaries of a vast new protected area in the Northwest Territories have been revealed.

Almost 27,000 square kilometres of spectacular waterways, forests and Canadian Shield on the east end of Great Slave Lake will be pro-

tected from development after the boundaries go through public consultation.

The protected area, called Thaidene Nene, will include both territorial and national parks.

Local aboriginals will have a big role in managing the land and will be able to keep using it.

leave, he told her Esther’s has a policy of banning locals because Prince George residents just drink beer and party in the rooms, forcing hotel staff to call police.

Jesse Park, general manager of Esther’s Inn, says there have been problems with people using hotel rooms for drinking parties in the past, but he says management is investigating Bespoyasny’s complaint and has apologized to her privately.

A rift in the space/time continuum Anastasia Bartlet t

I am a Doctor Who fan.

Interestingly enough, the long-lived time-travelling Time Lord has given me some insights into an Orthodox perspective of spacetime. The one example I want to mention here is the end of the series featuring the ninth doctor. The doctor’s companion Rose looked into the time vortex and became the Bad Wolf persona. As such she was able to save the world and leave herself multiple messages in the past to lead herself to that point in time. As she says; “I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the words…I scatter them, in time and space. A message, to lead myself here.”

If I consider the time vortex to be a type of eternity, then this is a metaphor for Christ when He left eternity and entered creation and temporal time.

Christ’s entry into creation caused a ripple effect throughout our time-line, like a pebble dropped into the middle of a still pond. At that moment, knowledge of Christ was scattered in time and space. All pre-incarnate

theophanies of God in the Old Testament, all foreshadowings, all the prophecies, all the world’s stories and myths about resurrected and/or trinitarian gods are the message to lead us to Christ. As the fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets, Jesus Christ saves the world and becomes the standard by which all future action is compared; legalities giving way to love.

Christ’s resurrection changed the past, present and future of all people everywhere.

After man’s fall from grace, God placed a guard to prevent Adam and Eve from eating of the tree of life. If they had, they would have lived eternally in their sin, never having the opportunity for salvation. To remedy that, God created a span of time, temporal time, during which each person has the opportunity to work out their salvation with fear and trembling. Salvation isn’t a one time decision, salvation takes a lifetime, every decision we make shaping our relationship with God. In other words, we live in a rift in eternity; a gift to prepare us to enter God’s

An Orthodox icon: Christ and the Harrowing of Hell. presence. We can catch a glimpse of our destination through celebration of the Divine Liturgy. Sunday is the first and eighth day of the week, a day outside of time, the day of re-creation, the day of resurrection. Every Sunday is a mini-Pascha, a weekly reminder of Christ’s resurrection and an opportunity to stand in the entrance way of the heavenly temple and join with the angels and the saints in heaven

and celebrate His resurrection. Pascha is the fixed point in time allowing eternity to bleed through into our temporal time.

Pascha, whether the Feast of Feasts or the 8th day weekly cycle, is the eye in the storm of life swirling around us. It is a place of calm where we meet eternity, where time stands still, a breathing space allowing us to catch our breath before entering time once again.

praising the Creator.

When the Orthodox celebrate the Divine Liturgy, we are admonished to “put aside all earthly cares’, so we can fully enter into worship and catch a glimpse of eternity. When we celebrate the annual Feast of Feasts, Pascha, we can go beyond worshipping with the angels and the saints ans actually join with the apostles and Christ’s friends as they cry at his crucifixion, mourn his burial

Within time, the Orthodox call the church on earth the Church Militant.

Here we are struggling with ourselves to overcome selfish passions, to love others and to re-connect with God. Once the struggles are over, we enter eternity and God’s presence, join the Church Triumphant and cheer on those still struggling in time. Because eternity is outside of time, all the events in our time-line, past, present and future can be seen by those in eternity.

So now is the time of salvation. I have a limited amount of time to reconcile with God. How I treat others, how I look after creation, these are the things which will draw me closer to, or push me further away from, God. I need to stop wasting time, redeem the time and make every second count.

Week July 26 – August 1 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1901 Cranbrook Stampede … In the rapidly civilizing west the “bucking broncho” and the “broncho buster” are not as commonly seen as they were some years ago. The management of the East Kootenay Mineral Agricultural and Industrial exhibition to be held at Cranbrook, September 25, 26 and 27, have made arrangements for a first class old time bucking contest. Henry Broulette and others, and also a number of Indians, famed for their riding, have consented to take part. It is confidently expected that this attraction will be very popular, and from arrangements made the spectators will have royal sport.

Clean up … Last Thursday noon there was a narrow escape from a disastrous fire in town. A lot of loose paper had been allowed to accumulate between the Cosmopolitan building and M. B King’s store. A cigar or lighted match was accidently dropped there, and in a moment the whole place was a mass of flames. Fortunately it was discovered in time and a few buckets of water from the roof extinguished the flames. If the fire had got a start, they would have swept the business part of the town. And, really, no one would have been to blame but those who had permitted the paper to accumulate there. And there are other places as bad in town and it is only a miracle that the main street has not been fire swept long before this. Each merchant in town should see that all loose paper, straw and packing about his premises is burned each day, and Constable Morris should compel them to do it if it is neglected. It does no good for one man to keep his place clean and in a safe condition and have half a dozen more in the block with their back yards piled up with inflammable trash. It is cold business, gentlemen. None of you can afford to be burned out, and yet some of you take chances that are almost criminal.

Improving on nature … Is one of the functions of the tailor. By his art he

makes up for deficiencies of shoulder, chest, etc. It is our business to do that, and more. We not only make perfect fitting garments which set off a good figure and improve a poor one, but we put material in our suits which some tailors would not think of selling at less than double our price. Leask & Henderson Nasty accident … Little Alice Quail had the misfortune to meet with a very severe accident on Saturday morning last. She and her brother Wilson, were playing with an axe, when Wilson struck at a weed at which his sister was pointing and almost severed one of her fingers from the hand. Dr. Bonnell attended to the jury and the wound is doing as nicely as can be expected.

Danger of collapse … A large jam of logs has partly broken away the middle pier supporting the Elk River bridge and putting it in immediate danger of being carried away. W. W. Tuttle, H. H. Trites, H. W. Herchmer, O. N James and several other citizens have been working at the jam all day.

Close call … On Saturday last Messrs. Mather, Watson and Dimick, who were patrolling the river in a canoe, in search of information concerning the disappearance of Mr. Charles Clark, met with an accident and had a very narrow escape. While attempting to run a piece of swift water, the boat was capsized, throwing its occupants into the swift running water. Dimick and Watson succeeded in reaching the shore after a hard struggle, Mather clinging to the boat was carried downstream, striking a log jam on a bar in the center of the river.

The boat was carried under the jam, Mather, however, succeeded in climbing on the jam, where he remained until Dimick and Watson returned to Steele and secured another boat. It was some six hours after the accident occurred when “Mather was rescued from his perilous position.

Good sport … N. A. Wallinger and Tom Ray killed two bears, a grizzly and brown bear, and three mountain goats, while on their prospecting trip up Bull River.

Finished … Harry Williams, who had the contract for digging the trenches for the Baker Hill water works sys-

tem, has completed his job and did good work.

Firewood … George A. Laurie has secured the sole handling of the firewood on the Cranbrook estate and is now prepared to take orders for and deliver stove wood in all sizes. Orders can be left at Mr. V. Hyde Baker’s office.

Where is j. Quinlivan? … Mrs. J. Quinlivan is very much worried and fears that her husband has been drowned Mr. Quinlivan left Wilmer to drive over into Montana over a month ago, and he has not yet arrived at his destination according to all information.

The last heard of him was that he had passed through Fort Steele, and as he would have to ford the river, Mrs. Quinlivan fears he was drowned. Her friends join in the hope that such is not the case, as it would be a sad and serious matter as she has a large family.

Careful now! … C. Stephenson, of Edward’s Lake stock ranch, caught a pure white skunk on Sunday when on his way home from church.

New workers … During the past two weeks a considerable number of miners, mostly married men with families, have come to live in Fernie. Many of these men are from England, Wales and Scotland, though some have come indirectly, having first worked at coal mining on Vancouver Island. They are an excellent class of people and the town and district welcome them to our midst. The coal company is advertising in England for men, to which cause, no doubt, this immigration is partly due.

Log drive … Log driving on the St. Marys River commenced Monday. The first portion of the drive will consist of 2,000,000 feet. The logs are owned by the Crow’s Nest Lumber company, and will be caught in a boom at Wardner.

1904

Liquor on Sundays … Speaking of hotels leads us to say, that it would be to the credit of the hotelkeepers in Cranbrook if they would observe the Sunday closing act, without pressure being brought to bear upon them by the arm of the law. It is not to their credit, nor yet the credit of the town, that drunk men are sitting on the edge of the sidewalks on Sunday or lying on the grass to be seen and pitied by the churchgoers. The hotelkeepers would rise in the estimation of the citizens of Cranbrook if they would agree among themselves not to sell liquor on the Sabbath.

Bad men must go ... Constable Routh is out on the war-path after the tinhorns, rounders, macques and all such gentry, whom, as the bible says, “neither work, neither do they spin.” Since the reopening of the mine, Moyie has been infested with a worthless element who are not looking for work, but who hang around and live off those who are working. Mr. Routh has served “blue papers’” on no less than 22 since the first of the month. Last Monday night Joseph Niederstadt’s hotel was broken into and some cigars, liquors, and a few dollars that were left in the till were stolen. Other petty offenses have also been reported to the constable lately. Mr. Routh is handling the situation as best he can but being without an assistant he is badly handicapped.

Chinese Labor Employment Agency … Oriental Bazaar. Full line of Chinese and Japanese Fancy Goods. Store on Durick Avenue, opposite old Herald office. Jim Mahwah Clock watchers … W. F. Tate has quite a novelty in his window in the way of a clock which will run 400 days without rewinding. It is about as near perpetual motion as anything manufactured and it is well worth your while to examine it.

Chain gang … The authorities have had the prisoners serving sentence busy the past few days building a road to the hospital and improving the street to the government building. This is a good move and there is plenty of this class of work that the prisoners can be kept at for some time with much advantage to the town.

How old! … Last Saturday there was buried at St. Eugene Mission the oldest person of the still vigorous tribe of Kootenay Indians. It was old Helen. Her age could not be exactly made out, but in all probability she counted from 115 to 120 years.

Home&Garden Summer

The type of fence you choose will not only play a key role in your home’s exterior design, but also provide one of the most important benefits of all homes; security. Privacy and security are two of the most common reasons Canadians look to buy homes.

A professionally installed fence gives every homeowner that true sense of home we all desire. Fencing, whether it be wood, chain link or wrought iron, will greatly affect your sense of home.

cheaper than a larger one.

On the plus side, wood fences can easily last the lifetime of your home. Just like hardwood floors, the quality of your fence will greatly depend on the type of wood you choose. Needless to say, you have plenty to choose from.

PVC Fencing

Hands down, the cheapest way to fence in your yard is by using one (UHT or powdered) made of PVC. These fences use PVC to replace wooden stakes and pickets, and although not nearly as sturdy, they can certainly serve their purpose. The posts are PVC sleeves that go on top of wooden posts to add stability to the fence, but also cut down on material costs by using less wood. Sometimes, the PVC stakes are attached with an adhesive to the cross bars and other times, they are fastened with screws. This type of fencing comes in a variety of different heights and colors. Because of its PVC makeup, the fence is very resistant to the elements and can last for years.

ers chose a wrought iron fence.

While wrought iron fences are both strong and beautiful, they do require constant upkeep. If you want to maintain its beauty, wrought iron fences need to be sanded or repainted every two to three years.

Furthermore, going back to the security portion of the conversation, wrought iron fences are not popular choices for the more conservative homeowner. On top of that, wrought iron fences are custom made and therefore, will not be cheap.

Chain Link Fencing

Chain link fences do not add much privacy to the home, but perform the other basic functions of a fence quite well. Homeowners, as well as school administrators (very popular), will be delighted to know that they are cheap, durable and need very little maintenance (like many of the other options).

Oftentimes, homeowners add a good amount of shrubbery, flowers, vines or even privacy slates on the outside of chain link fence.

Bamboo Fencing

Like hardwood flooring, bamboo fencing is starting to hit its stride in the market. It can be grown naturally, so many of our green readers will be happy to hear that it’s one of the most environmentally friendly and attractive options on the market.

There are three styles for bamboo fencing: live bamboo, bamboo cane and rolled bamboo. Rolled bamboo and bamboo cane use poles linked together that are a bit sturdier than live bamboo.

Live bamboo can grow up to a foot a year. We would not recommend this style in colder climates.

All donations appreciated

Farm fencing certainly doesn’t apply to everyone, but it plays a vital role across Canada. Just like all non-farm homeowners, you have many options, such as wood, electric, barbed wire, woven or high tensile. No matter what fencing type you go with, beware that installation is expensive and timely. Given the amount of land farmers own, you can imagine the manpower it takes to put up an entire fence.

Hagar the Horrible

By Dick Browne

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Yesterday, I had an argument with my 85-year-old mother. She said I must be a lesbian because of my recent Facebook posts in support of all my gay friends and the Supreme Court decision upholding gay marriage. Specifically, I changed my photo so it was colored in beautiful rainbow shades.

My mother was appalled that I was supporting “those people” and demanded that I change my picture. She said she was embarrassed and claimed that all of her friends were calling her to ask whether I was gay. This was a lie and she admitted it. Then she said she does not support gay people and I should support them in more private ways. I told her I am 50 years old, not 10, and these are my choices. If she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t have to look at my Facebook page.

I have never felt comfortable having my mother as a friend on Facebook. I want to un-friend her, but I’d feel guilty.

She has always been this way, and frankly, I’m fed up. She has other friends and family on Facebook, so it’s not as though she’ll be out of the loop. What do you say?

-- New York Dear New York: There are kinder ways to deal with this rather than un-friending your 85-year-old mother. You can arrange your privacy settings on Facebook to limit what she sees and what she can post on your page. But truly, you are 50 years old and should know how to deal with your bigoted mother by now. Ignore her comments. Change the subject when she says things you find offensive and refuse to engage her in these pointless arguments where neither of you will influence the other. Don’t become angry. Smile, and then do what you want. It’s how children have dealt with difficult parents for centuries.

Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Not Buying Narcolepsy,” who complained that her husband sleeps constantly. Many people associate narcolepsy with the way it appears on TV sitcoms, where people fall asleep midsentence. But the most common form of narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness.

A year ago, I could not sit down without falling asleep. I woke up sleepy and probably could have slept 12 hours a day and still manage to fall asleep in my chair.

Narcolepsy can be diagnosed by sleep studies and blood work. Since my diagnosis by a neurologist and finding the right medication, I have my life back.

Baby Blues

Rhymes with Orange

By Kirkman and Scott

By Hillary B. Price

Perhaps “Not Buying” should sit down with her husband and fill out the Epworth Sleepiness Scale as a way to begin a discussion of the medical reasons behind his need for such great amounts of sleep.

It’s available through the Narcolepsy Network (narcolepsynetwork.org). I hope this helps. -- Wide Awake Dear Wide Awake: Thank you for the excellent resource. Narcolepsy isn’t simply about insufficient sleep. It’s a neurological disorder affecting the way the body regulates sleep-wake cycles. Information on narcolepsy is also available through the National Sleep Foundation (sleepfoundation.org). Anyone who is having problems staying awake should also speak to his or her physician and, if necessary, ask for a referral to a sleep clinic.

Obituaries KENWARD, Luke Edward 1977 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015 Just after midnight on Sunday, July 12, 2015, Luke Edward Kenward passed away suddenly in Cranbrook, BC at the age of 38 years. Luke was born on April 6, 1977 in St. Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Ontario. Luke came west to BC at the age of 18 and this became his home.

Affectionately known as Lukas by his soulmate, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the old ladyâ&#x20AC;?, Lukasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life was cut very short. He was an old soul who lived more in his 38 years than most people do in 100. Luke worked hard, lived hard, played hard and loved deeply. Family was so important to him. Although he got home but once to see his family, he cherished and valued them deeply. His love for his sister Crystal was deep and fierce and he tried many times to talk her into moving to BC. Luke had a reputation for being an extremely hard worker no matter what the occupation.

His main love, however, was the feel of a chainsaw in his hand, strapped to the top of a tree. This was pure freedom and peace. Lukas is an old soul, a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man, fiercely proud, speaking his truth in confidence and stood his ground without regret. He was always first to lend a hand whether friend, foe or stranger. He was equally loyal and loved deeply those he cherished in his heart. Family meant the world to him and his spread the span from one side of the country to the other. His high energy, infectious laugh and mischievous dancing eyes are imprinted on the hearts of those who loved him. Luke always had your back and was never one to hold a grudge. He lived, loved, worked and played hard and fast with total passion and he has left us in the same way. He would have wanted it no less.

Luke loved the outdoors and spending time in the bush.

He and Laura recently spent some quality time together in many of the surrounding areas including Mineral Lake, St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Camp Heart Rock. Luke was always trying to save or rescue animals and bring them home with us. He was the animal whisperer. Equally loved was his eclectic taste in musicâ&#x20AC;Śeverything from metal to country.

Luke had worked hard to obtain tickets in several different areas and recently completed the S100, S185, ICS 100 and his First Aid with Strategic Fire Control.

Luke had just gained employment with the Lumberton Mill through his good friend Greg and was looking forward to begin this new adventure at the Mill

A s s o c i at e d P r e s s

LONDON - One of Britain’s biggest unions has backed left-wing contender Jeremy Corbyn to lead Britain’s opposition Labour Party, and a major bookmaker has made the former outsider odds-on favourite to win the contest.

General secretary Dave Prentis of Unison,

which represents more than 1 million public-sector workers, said the choice of Corbyn “shows a clear need for change towards a fairer society.”

The endorsement doesn’t compel union members to vote for Corbyn against rivals Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall.

Corbyn’s surge has

alarmed senior Labour figures, who fear he is too extreme to win elections.

On Wednesday, bookmaker William Hill made Corbyn 11-8 favourite to win the contest, having ranked him a 200-1 outsider when the race started.

Voting opens Aug. 14, with the result announced Sept. 12.

report released Wednesday.

The population estimates play a huge role as the international community tries to figure out how to slow the danger of global warming, while pursuing the ambitious goals of eliminating both poverty and hunger.

The current world population is 7.3 billion. China and India each have more than one billion people.

“While the global projections should not be cause for alarm, we must recognize that the concentration of population growth in the poorest countries presents a distinct set of challenges, making it more difficult to eradicate poverty and inequality, to combat hunger and malnutrition, and to expand educational enrolment and health systems,” John Wilmoth, director of the population division of the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs, said in an

email.

Nine countries are expected to make up half of the world’s population growth between now and 2050: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, the U.S., Indonesia and Ghana.

The report says that by 2050 or so, Nigeria will pass the U.S. to have the world’s third-largest population, behind India and China. Africa has the world’s highest rate of population growth.

Global aging is also noted. The report says the number of people age 60 and above should more than double by 2050. The report says Europe will lead the way, with more than 34 per cent of people there expected to be over 60 years old by 2050.

The U.N. report updates previous population estimates with new data from national censuses in 2010 as well as recent health and demographic surveys.

Clinton to call for lifting embargo with Cuba Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign says she will call for lifting the embargo with Cuba in a Florida address on Friday.

In the speech, Clinton will side with President Barack Obama, who normalized relations with the island nation in December, and deride her Republican presidential opponents for pushing what her campaign calls the “failed policies of the past.”

Clinton has previous-

ly advocated lifting the embargo, writing in her book “Hard Choices” that she recommended the president take another look at the trade prohibition.

Action by Congress is required to formally lift the sanctions.

Republican presidential candidates Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush have criticized the Obama administration’s push to normalize relations with Cuba.

Harper government hopes TPP deal is signed before election kickoff C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - The Conservatives are anxiously hoping to sign off on a massive freetrade deal before kicking off an election campaign that’s expected to start as early as Sunday.

The federal government is at the negotiating table in Hawaii, where Trans-Pacific Partnership talks are reportedly in their final stages.

With voting day set for Oct. 19, the governing Tories want to launch the campaign

to become the biggest trade deal in history once ratified.

Experts say if the talks continue after the start of the campaign, they could prove politically sensitive for the government.

In particular, Canada is

with the deal in hand - an agreement they could brandish as evidence of their economic stewardship.

The partnership, a pact between 12 countries including Canada, the U.S., Mexico and Japan, is poised

under pressure from other countries to lower the high tariffs that currently protect domestic producers of eggs, milk, cheese and poultry from foreign competition.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Prime Minister

Stephen Harper is insisting the government will protect the interests of every Canadian industry “as best we can.”

Harper says the negotiations are “well advanced.”
