Blair Armitage, with Golf Canada, reads from a scroll honouring the 100th anniversary of the Cranbrook Golf Club, in a presentation to Les McDonald, the club president, and a crowd of members on Saturday evening at the clubhouse.

100TH ANNIVERSARY

Local golf club celebrates centennial Cranbrook Golf Club recognized by Golf Canada during club tournament on Saturday TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The Cranbrook Golf Club officially celebrated it’s 100th anniversary over the weekend as a representative from Golf Canada recognized the centennial at the club championship on Saturday evening.

Blair Armitage, the region director, Membership Development, Western Canada for Golf Canada, presented Cranbrook Golf Club president Les MacDonald with a scroll to mark the occasion.

Armitage addressed the club membership by reading from a letter written by Golf Canada president Paul McLean.

“On behalf of Golf Canada, it is my plea-

sure to express congratulations to the executive and membership of the Cranbrook Golf Club in celebrating the club’s 100th anniversary,” read Armitage.

“Reaching such a milestone speaks to the success and growth of golf in this country over the past 100 years—a growth that can be attributed to the collective efforts of fine clubs, such as the Cranbrook Golf Club.

“It is clubs like Cranbrook that honour golf traditions and foster development of the game that have helped our sport reach the level of respect and prominence that it now holds in Canada.”

The scroll will be on display in the Founder’s Room at the back of the club.

After the ceremony, Armitage noted just how unique it is to have a golf club in operation for 100 years.

“A lot of golf courses, the establish themselves even earlier than this one, but they didn’t stay, they didn’t maintain themselves,” Armitage said. “They were developed into something else or whatever, so the question of how unique it is—it’s very unique that the club actually maintains it’s integrity, maintains itself as a golf club body for 100 years.”

Appeal court rules against Ktunaxa in Jumbo dispute ARNE PETRYSHEN

The Ktunaxa Nation said it was disappointed with the Aug. 6 ruling by the British Columbia Court of Appeal that found the province’s approval of a Master Development Agreement in the Jumbo, or Qat’muk, area did not violate the Ktunaxa’s Charter right to freedom of religion.

The ruling also found that the province’s consultation with the Ktu-

naxa regarding their constitutionally protected Aboriginal rights was reasonable.

Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair said they are “deeply disappointed” with the decision.

“We are working closely with our legal team to analyze this ruling and other developments to determine what our next steps may be.”

Sunrise Rotary scholarships offered for local students Students can apply for the scholarships if they are taking advanced post-secondary studies Cr anbrook Sunrise Rotary Club

As fall draws nigh, the time for local post-secondary students to apply for available scholarships draws closer.

The scholarships that are sponsored by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club are only available for students, who are already enrolled in post-secondary studies and need additional funds to continue their education.

Applications are due September 1, 2015 with four scholarships available from $1,000 to $1,500 each.

Students interested in submitting an application can find an application package on the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary webpage at: http://portal.clubrunner.ca/926 or they can get further information by phoning club member Alex McLeod at 250-489-5254.

Completed applications can be sent by letter post to: Scholarship Committee, Rotary Club of Cranbrook, Box 765, Cranbrook, B.C., V1C 4J5 or they can be emailed to: alex@silenus.ca and they will be processed from there.

The club usually receives around 40 appli-

cations for the scholarships each year.

At least one of the scholarships is awarded to an arts or performing arts student and the recipients must be enrolled in the third, fourth or fifth year of an undergraduate program in a recognized post-secondary institution.

All recipients must have graduated from Mt. Baker Secondary School or a Cranbrook area private or home school.

Criteria for the scholarships are equally weighed on: academic merit, financial need and community service.

Applicants must submit marks from their most recent two years of post-secondary education.

“Sunrise Rotary has offered the unique scholarship program since 1998 and it’s aimed at students in the latter part of their post-secondary studies for a reason,” says McLeod.

Most scholarships are offered to students entering university for the first time or early in their post-secondary studies.

Their program recognizes that students need money for every

year of their studies and funds can be harder to get in their later study years,” he says.

Funding for the scholarships comes from Sunrise Rotary’s highly popular Rockies Film Festival, which runs every spring and was almost completely sold out this year.

“We are very thankful for the support the community shows for the film festival as it allows us to continue to fund these important programs,” McLeod says.

He adds it’s a challenge to get the information out to potential college applicants as not all Cranbrook post-secondary students return to town every summer.

They are hoping that people will assist in getting the word out to any students who qualify and would benefit from the scholarships.”

Those students who qualify for the type of scholarships offered by the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club are encouraged to avail themselves of this opportunity and submit their application as soon as possible.

The Club looks forward to hearing from you.

Cranbrook Golf Club celebrates 100 years of tradition Continued from page 1 Though the actual golf course has had a couple facelifts over the years, the club itself was formed over 100 years ago in 1915.

On April 6, 1915, a group of Cranbrook residents met at City Hall to discuss forming a nine-hole golf course in the city. An executive was set up and the members donated towards financing the club, as well as donating supplies such as lumber for the clubhouse.

The original course was built on the land where the Tamarack Centre is now situated.

The first tee-off on hole one had to be played across the highway. The clubhouse was also on the opposite side of the highway to the course.

Later that was changed as the clubhouse was moved closer to the hillside and the first hole tee-off brought along with it.

The course closed in 1948, leaving Cranbrook without a course until the new one at the present location was up and running in 1951.

However, details on

the closure are not well documented, and play did continue at least into 1949.

In 1915, when the Cranbrook Gold Course was getting going, there was another course already in operation, the Kootenay Golf Club of Cranbrook. That began operating in 1904 and was located in Slaterville.

In 1920, the Cranbrook Golf Club purchased 111 acres of land in the now Tamarack Mall area and laid out the nine hole course.

By 1938, the Club had listed the asset value of the course at $5,800 with a net profit of $132.79.

In 1946 negotiations had begun with BC Lands for 170 acres for a new golf course in the form of a grant.

A year later a public meeting called for a proposed new community golf course east of the city, where the Cranbrook Gold Course is currently. A second meeting two months later outlined the proposal: Land could be purchased for $280 plus

$10 for a provincial grant. The estimated cost of the course was $15,000.

Three years of manual labour and donated cat time from the city was put into the course and Dr. Reid Geddes was instrumental in getting the work done.

At the end of 1951 the tax sale of the Cranbrook Golf Course went through and later in 1952 the Old Golf Course was sold to the City Dairy for $12,000.

In 1953, the new clubhouse was planned and the next year it was ready for use.

It was in 1972 that another nine holes were approved. The construction this time was done by machinery rather than manual labour and the new holes opened July 15, 1973.

A year later the club decided that it needed an addition for the clubhouse, which was officially opened on 1975. In 1988 the club replaced equity certificates with membership certificates, since not every golfer was required to have one.

Ranchers urge RDEK to enforce eradication of invasive weeds Tre vor Cr awley

Representatives from the agricultural industry brought their concerns over invasive weeds to the RDEK and asked for the enforcement of a bylaw that would allow local government to clear noxious weeds on private property.

Harlan Bradford, the president of the Kootenay Livestock Association and Morgan Dilts, the president of the Waldo Stockbreeders, voiced their concerns that invasive weeds are being spread from private properties and that the RDEK needs to step up enforcement.

While there are programs for fighting invasive weeds on crown land, the two pushed for the enforcement of Bylaw No. 1617 passed in 2002, which gives the RDEK the power to hire crews to clear noxious weeds on private property and charge the homeowner.

“We’re asking for the RDEK to become more engaged in the enforcement of Bylaw 1617,” said Dilts. “We have come up with a

bit of an obstacle in the agricultural industry in that invasive weeds are starting to be a very significant problem. “…We’re starting to see losses in the agricultural industry because of invasive weeds.”

In their presentation to the board, Dilts mentioned that invasive weeds have impacted the carrying capacity of regional crown rangeland by 25 per cent over the last 10 years.

“How many businesses can handle a 25 per cent loss?” asked Dilts. “And that is, by all indicators, is going to continue into the future of reductions and more reductions.”

That impact on the carrying capacity of the rangeland isn’t just a reduction in the grazing land for cattle, but also for wildlife ungulates, such as deer and elk, Dilts clarified.

He gave an example of how seeds at a logging yard on a private company property can be transported on vehicles and equipment throughout the region as part of logging opera-

tions.

“A lot of money is invested each year to controlling these noxious weeds, but it is somewhat futile if you treat outside of a place, but the origin of the seed is not taken care of. It’s not very cost-effective,” Dilts said.

RDEK board chair Rob Gay said the board has provided funding to noxious weeds through an agricultural plan, but sympathized with the ranchers’ frustrations.

“That’s what they’re asking us to do, is to take charge on some of these lands where the owners are not participating in dealing with the noxious weeds,” Gay said. “…To my knowledge we haven’t used our ability to enforce.

We’ve chosen to take the education route, first feeling that we should educate people. And we feel we’re doing a good job there, but what the livestock associations are telling us is don’t stop the education, but you need to start doing some enforcement and I feel they’re right.”

EKRH redevelopment projects on schedule For the Townsman

Board directors with the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District were given a tour of the ICU expansion project on Friday at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

ICU/Electrical Redevelopment Interior Health is en-

The new building structure for the ICU and electrical equipment is complete and the brick work, windows, roof and other exterior building components are nearly

complete, with the final connections with the existing hospital now almost complete. The interior finishing is well underway with the ceilings, doors, glass and painting on track for completion in August.

The exterior ground work has begun and rough grading will be complete soon, followed by the paving and landscaping which will include grass for most areas and a line of street trees along 24th Ave N. The major electrical has all been installed and final connections will be completed late this summer. The commissioning and the connection of the existing hospital to the new electrical system will continue through the fall.

Work will continue on site from approximately 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. throughout the summer, and the public can expect periodic interruptions to normal traf-

fic patterns during construction.

Interior Health is working with the project contractor to minimize these impacts and appreciates the ongoing patience of local residents and visitors to the hospital as these major improvements to EKRH move forward.

Pediatric Redevelopment Last October, Interior Health announced the creation of a new pediatric unit for the hospital which would be based in the current ICU space once the new ICU is completed.

The estimated cost of this redevelopment is approximately $750,000 with detailed design work expected to start this fall.

Currently, pediatric and maternity/neo-natal services are located on separate floors of the hospital.

While the full scope

of the project providing renovated spaces for pediatrics is yet to be complete, planning has started with a goal to create an enhanced environment for these young patients, their families, and the staff and physicians providing care. The new pediatric unit will be adjacent to the existing maternity/neo-natal unit, bringing all of these services into one area of EKRH. ICU Equipment Campaign Thanks to public donations and gifts received from regional auxiliaries (approximately $450,000 from the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary, $90,000 from the Kimberley Health Care Auxiliary, and $50,000 from the Invermere Health Care Auxiliary), efforts to raise funds for new ICU equipment are steadily moving closer to the $1

million total goal.

East Kootenay Foundation for Health continues to focus its efforts on this important work and hopes to see the fundraising goal achieved upon completion of two signature fundraising events this fall. For more information about upcoming Foundation events or to donate, go to www.ekfh. ca.

ICU/Electrical Project Background: The approximate total project cost of the redevelopment project at EKRH is $20 million.

Funding is provided by the Province, Kootenay East Regional Hospital District and East Kootenay Foundation for Health, which is contributing towards the clinical equipment.

The new ICU unit will replace the current four-bed unit and feature two additional high-acuity beds, which

will address current and future needs. The integrated design includes a 787 square-metre (approximately 8,470 square-feet) addition on the northeast side of the existing hospital.

The size and design of the new ICU will provide for an improved work environment for physicians and staff, and added privacy for patients and their visitors. The enhanced care environment for patients will feature integrated family spaces and maximized natural light.

The project also includes a significant electrical upgrade at the facility. The new electrical system will improve the power supply to the entire hospital, optimize the electrical system performance and allow capacity to expand for future power needs. The electrical infrastructure will be located in the basement of the new addition.

Late submissions will be rejected.

The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals submitted.

Gas prices high despite oil’s dive Jeff Nagel Black Press

Gas prices remain stubbornly high in B.C. despite the slide in crude oil prices, and motorists are feeling gouged.

Gasoline is down only slightly from $1.40 a litre a year ago, while crude has plunged more than 50 per cent from around $98 a barrel to less than $44 in early August.

But petroleum industry analysts say it all boils down to supply and demand.

Crude oil accounts for less than half of the end cost of a litre of gasoline, with government taxes and refining charges the other big factors.

“I wish there was a simple explanation,” said Jason Parent of the Kent Marketing Group.

“There isn’t much of a relationship on a day-to-day basis between crude oil and retail gasoline.”

Expecting gas to move in lockstep with crude oil is somewhat akin to expecting house prices to follow lumber prices, without recognizing scarce land or an influx of buyers might have an influence.

Parent said crude and gas prices can go in different directions for different reasons, and gas prices in B.C. can diverge from what other Canadians pay.

Most of the difference between B.C. prices and the rest of the country is explained by the higher 17-cent-a-litre TransLink tax in Metro Vancouver as well as B.C.’s carbon tax.

Motorists are paying just over $1 in Alberta, a few cents more in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and $1.10 to $1.20 in

ONGOING

B.C.’s carbon tax and a low Canadian dollar are keeping gasoline prices higher. most of Eastern Canada.

But even after taxes are factored out, Vancouver prices are 5 to 15 cents a litre higher than most other cities across Canada.

The reason, Parent said, is that Vancouver-area prices follow those along the U.S. west coast, where the wholesale gas supply has been constricted by refinery problems in California, driving prices up.

“Wholesale prices have been high there relative to the rest of the U.S. for a month now,” Parent said.

Some gasoline comes to B.C. through the Kinder Mor-

gan pipeline, but the rest comes from Washington State or other U.S. refineries.

If prices were sharply higher in Vancouver than cities to the south, Parent said, gas would flow back to the U.S. – resulting in shortages here – or wouldn’t be shipped north in the first place.

Another “huge” factor behind why Canadians in general aren’t yet seeing much relief at the pumps is the drop in the loonie over the past year.

Crude and wholesale gas are priced in U.S. dollars, so Canadians are paying with a devalued currency that simply

Black Press photo

doesn’t go as far as it did a year ago.

So who is profiting from the persistently high pump prices?

“Right now, refiners are the big winners,” Parent said.

They’re running close to capacity, demand is up because of lower gas prices and therefore refiners can charge more than usual.

If crude oil prices get even cheaper – potentially as sanctions against Iran end and more oil pours onto the world market – there’s no guarantee gas prices will follow because of the refining constraints in North America.

Wapiti Music Festival celebrates five years Leah Scheitel The Free Press

The Wapiti Music Festival celebrated its fifth birthday with another successful event.

The festival started on Thursday evening with performances by the Hark Raving Sirens, a local female trio who sing a mix of older and newer songs, as well as the Steadies at the Arts Station and continued at Annex Park over Friday and Saturday.

On Friday, the festival gates opened at 6 p.m. and evening performances started at 7 p.m. People were entertained by Buckman Coe and Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer while dancing, lounging on the grass or enjoying the beer gardens.

A crowd gathered at Annex Park on Aug. 8 for the last of a two-day festival.

Those in attendance were entertained by a variety of bands during the fifth annual Wapiti festival.

The grounds opened on Saturday at noon, allowing for ample time for people to check out the vendors, sample the variety of food trucks

and enjoy the afternoon music by Kirby and Lovecoast. There was an activity tent for the children who weren’t dancing or enjoying the hu-

la-hoops.

Saturday performances included the Mounties, a Canadian alt-rock band made up of Hawksley Workman

and Steve Bays of Hot Hot Heat fame. Bays flirted with the crowd, mentioning that if he wasn’t already married, he would find his wife in amongst the throng of festival-goers. Their performance was a bonafide jam session that provided an intimate experience for the crowd.

Last to take the stage was Sherman Downey, the newly solo Newfoundland-based singer. His bluegrass music was a nice topper to a steady stream of performances over the two days.

The Wapiti Music Festival has become a staple weekend in the summer, with many locals and visitors looking forward to it each year.

Sorting out federal election issues

T

he first, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped define the issues, and the non-issues.

I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already.

First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period.

This, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more financial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money.

In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner.

This is the first election in modern Canadian history to follow a four-year schedule.

National pundits spent months telling us Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good.

Scheduled elections by their nature cre-

ate longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests.

Another non-issue is the non-existent deficit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if – a big if – Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest deficit by next spring.

The Bank of Canada’s recent move to devalue the dollar has already produced a BC VIEWS rebound in exports and tourism, which any government Tom would appreciate. Have you Fletcher tried to find parking at the mall lately?

Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national debate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion project before hearings are complete.

Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair insisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate.

This is, of course, all theatre. Based on

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipelines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG. B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expansion last week, in a letter filed with the National Energy Board. But we’re expected to believe that Mulcair has a different position, for now.

Harper was forced to admit that his long effort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves office next year.

The debate also confirmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria.

The Conservatives are for it, and the Liberals, NDP and Greens are against it.

Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011.

Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

Nitros add Garrels to coaching staff Taylor Rocc a

Byron Garrels is about to inject some youth into the Kimberley Dynamiters coaching staff.

That isn’t to say head coach Jerry Bancks and assistants Jeff Keiver, Mike Reid and Todd White are getting old.

They’re just a little bit older than the newest member of their group.

Reid, who also wears the general manager’s hat for the Dynamiters, revealed Garrels, 31, as the fourth assistant coach on the team’s staff Monday afternoon.

“Byron is a young guy with lots of energy,” Reid said. “He was, and still is, a very good hockey player. He brings more to the staff.

“It’s never a bad thing to bring in as many talented people as you possibly can and go from there.”

Though born in Red Deer, Garrels calls Kimberley home and has since moving to the Bavarian City of the Rockies from Cambridge Bay, N.W.T., when he was in ninth grade.

Garrels suited up for the Nitros from 2001-02 through 2002-03 before moving on to the Alberta Junior Hockey League, first with the Crowsnest Pass Timberwolves and eventually the Brooks Bandits.

“It’s a good opportunity to learn,” Garrels said Monday. “[Coaching] is an opportunity to get back into the game and help some kids out.”

In 100 career AJHL games, Garrels registered 14 goals and 39 points before moving on to the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) for post-secondary studies.

Garrels found himself at the Kimberley Civic Centre as a fan on many occasions last season, watching the Dynamiters trek all the way to the town’s first KIJHL championship since the 1980.

“I’m going to help out wherever I can, really,” Garrels said. “I’m not going to go in there and change anything.

Obviously they won a championship last year.

can and learn from the guys that are there.

“Watching the playoffs was definitely exciting for the whole community. Most of the town was in the arena during most of the playoffs.

Anytime you can get that, it’s a good thing.”

The newest member of the Nitros coaching staff will look to begin learning from his more senior colleagues when players report for conditioning and fitness Aug. 31 and as main camp opens Sept. 4 at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

“At the beginning, it will probably be a learning curve for him,” Reid said. “He hasn’t coached at this level before so it’s more get to training camp, get yourself familiar with the kids, get yourself familiar with how we operate.

“I see him probably, as time goes on, sliding into my position [on the bench].”

With six 1995-born players on the roster as of Monday, Reid is going to be tasked with retooling a significant chunk of the roster following the 2015-16 season.

And that isn’t a task achieved over night.

“I really have to be active scouting this year,” Reid said. “We’re graduating a lot of players. This is a very big year for our organization as we transition to next year.”

Forwards Eric Buckley, Jared Marchi, Alex Rosolowsky, defencemen Jordan Busch and Justin Meier, along with goaltender Tyson Brouwer, will all age out of junior hockey following the 2015-16 season.

KIJHL clubs are restricted to carrying five 20-year-old players, meaning one of the six will have to go prior to puck drop Sept. 11 in Invermere when the Dynamiters visit the Columbia Valley Rockies.

As for Garrels, he can’t wait for that date and the opportunity to gain a completely new perspective on hockey.

After providing junior hockey fans in Kimberley with a season worth remembering, the Kimberley Dynamiters received a memento of their own this past weekend. The Nitros were presented with Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship rings as Kimberley Golf Club hosted the local hockey heroes Saturday, Aug. 8, for a round of golf and banquet. Dynamiters general manager Mike Reid (above, far right) wished to extend his gratitude to Kimberley Golf Club for the hospitality.

The Dynamiters defeated the Kamloops Storm in the sixth game of the best-of-seven KIJHL championship series, closing out the title run with a decisive 5-1 victory March 29 at McArthur Park Arena in Kamloops.

The Kimberley Dynamiters are set to open training camp Sept. 4, with players reporting for conditioning and fitness testing Aug. 31.

Former Kootenay Ice star signs with New York Rangers Jarret Stoll inks one-year deal on Broadway

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Jarret Stoll’s tumultuous off-season has finally taken a turn in the right direction.

The former Kootenay Ice captain signed a oneyear, $800,000 contract with the NHL’s New York Rangers on Monday morning, putting behind him an off-season that began in April with a Las Vegas arrest and felony cocaine possession charge.

The felony cocaine possession charge was eventually dropped as Stoll pleaded guilty to one count of provoking commission of breach of peace and one count of trespass. The plea resulted in a sentencing of 32 hours community service.

According to Associated Press, Stoll is also starting a program to help others understand the dangers of using alcohol and controlled

Jarret Stoll

substances.

Stoll, 33, posted six goals and 17 points in 73 games with the Los Angeles Kings last season.

He will look to rebound in 2015-16, both off and on the ice, as a member of the Rangers.

The centre’s oneyear, $800,000 contract on Broadway follows a three-year, $9.75-million deal in Hollywood

that expired at the conclusion of the 2014-15 campaign.

The native of Melville is a veteran of 792 NHL games with 140 goals and 379 points to his credit.

He helped the Kings to Stanley Cup titles in 2012 and 2014.

Prior to embarking on a successful professional career, the 6-foot1 pivot was the first-overall selection of the Edmonton Ice at the 1997 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

With the Ice franchise, Stoll posted 286 points in 245 games. He was the franchise alltime leader in scoring until being surpassed by Sam Reinhart (319 points) during the 201415 WHL season.

While with the Ice, Stoll helped the club to its only Memorial Cup championship (2002) as well as a pair of WHL championships (2000, 2002).

Play suspended at Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship Kimberley native Jared du Toit waits for Tuesday tee off Taylor Rocc a

Kimberley’s Jared du Toit will have to wait one more day to tee off at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship.

Inclement weather led to the suspension of first-round action Monday afternoon at both host courses -- Lambton Golf & Country Club and Weston Golf & Country Club -- in Toronto. du Toit was scheduled to tee up his first round at 11:25 a.m.

(Mountain) Monday at Lambton.

Despite the rainy conditions, a handful of competitors were able to complete first-round play.

As of Monday evening, Ben Eccles (Australia) and Gavin Hall (Pittsford, N.Y.) sit atop the leaderboard. Each carded an opening-round score of 66 to lead the pack at five-under par. du Toit won his way

into the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship by claiming the title at the 2015 B.C. Men’s Amateur Championship in Oliver earlier this summer.

The Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship is more than a century old, having been first contested in 1895 at the Ottawa Golf Club.

The winner of the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship receives exemption into the 2016 RBC Canadian Open.

New Zealand native James Beale, 21, claimed the 2014 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship following a three-hole playoff at Elmhurst Golf & Country Club last August.

The 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship was originally slated to run from Aug. 10 through Aug. 13, but that could change following Monday’s weather problems.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: It is a modern kind of problem to have such a long life expectancy. My husband and I are in our early 60s. His parents are in their early 90s. They still live independently and are fairly healthy. We often have family get-togethers with his parents, our children and our grandchildren.

My husband’s father tells the same stories over and over. He completely monopolizes conversations and will interrupt a speaker and start telling his own tale from days long gone.

His wife will sometimes say, “Dear, you’ve told this story before,” and he will momentarily pause, but his brain is stuck on one track and he’ll keep going. He is unable not to continue, complete with the same jokes and dramatic pauses that he has learned through repetition. We try to be polite and listen, but I see how my children’s eyes glaze over and eventually, they find reasons to leave.

Here’s the real problem: Over the past few years, I have seen my husband developing this same need to speak.

Usually, he wants to make a point or he has some complaint. But he seems unable to just let it go. He also has started telling long stories, over and over, about his younger days.

Yesterday, he ruined a family lunch by fighting about something minor that he absolutely could not let pass.

I don’t want to spend years hearing the same stories and putting up with a husband who is unable to be silent and listen to others. My father-in-law is oblivious to others, and I can see that his son is headed the same way. What can be done? -- L. Dear L.: You’re overlooking the possibility of an inherited neurological problem behind this tendency. It is not uncommon for some seniors to become repetitive and focus on their younger days. But the inability to drop an issue when asked, even when it causes family fights, has an element of compulsive behavior. Please talk to your husband about this when he is in a more reasonable mood. Ask him to speak to his doctor about an evaluation, or better, go with him. But please work on your tolerance levels. Your husband isn’t being annoying on purpose.

Instead of allowing your frustration to boil over, try to understand how difficult it is for him to control himself, and then help others be understanding, as well.

Dear Annie: Has the definition of “fiance” changed? It used to mean one’s intended spouse, one’s betrothed, the person one has agreed to marry after an engagement period. Now, it seems to mean merely the person one is currently having sex with. Marriage no longer appears to be a necessary element of the word’s meaning. Am I right about this? -- Curious Dear Curious: No. A fiance is still someone you intend to marry.

However, the length of the engagement could be quite long - years - and in the meantime, some couples choose to live together. While there are a few optimistic folks who refer to themselves as a “fiance” even when they are not, in fact, engaged to be married, it doesn’t change the meaning of the word. It only shows the expectations of the person using it.
