Jets QB Geno Smith sidelined after being punched by teammate Dennis Wasz ak Jr. Associated Press

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith will be sidelined at least 6-10 weeks with a broken jaw after being punched by teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali in the locker room Tuesday morning.

Coach Todd Bowles made the announcement in an impromptu news conference before training camp practice was scheduled to start.

Enemkpali (EN-umPAL-ee), an outside linebacker in his second season, has been released by the Jets, according to Bowles. He was a sixth-round draft pick last year.

Bowles says Smith and Enemkpali got into an “altercation” in the Jets’ locker room Tuesday morning.

“It had nothing to do

with football,” Bowles said. “It was something very childish, and he got cold-cocked, sucker-punched - whatever you want to call it - in the jaw.”

Smith, entering his third season, required surgery to repair the jaw.

“Depending on how surgery goes, we’ll see where we go from there,” Bowles said.

Bowles says the Jets could add another quarterback, but it appears Ryan Fitzpatrick will assume the starting job.

Bowles wouldn’t go into detail about the nature of the altercation, except to say: “It was something very childish, that sixth-graders could have talked about.”

Chicago to host 2016 NFL Draft Jay Cohen Associated Press

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. Chicago is on the clock again.

The NFL draft is returning to the Windy City for the second straight year after a long run at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The location has not been finalized, but it will be near Grant Park and run from April 28-30.

“We’re thrilled. They have earned it,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday at the NFL owners’ meetings.

“The success that we’ve had last year set a new bar for the draft.”

The league also announced plans to create a selection process for future draft sites. There was no commitment made to Chicago beyond 2016, but the NFL says it will be considered for future drafts.

“The NFL draft is world-class event, and I’m proud they picked a world-class city like the city of Chicago,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said.

The league was believed to be considering Los Angeles, but this year’s draft in Chicago and “Draft Town” - an

NFL-themed party at Grant Park - drew huge crowds, impressing the league. Chicago also is centrally located for fans of several teams, adding to the attraction for the NFL. According to the league, more than 200,000 fans participated in draft-related events this year in Chicago. A study commissioned by the Chicago Sports Commission found the draft generated an economic impact of $81.6 million.

“It’s about the national event,” said Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s senior vice-president of events. “It wasn’t, as we know, just Chicagoans coming here to Grant Park. There were people, every team was represented here. Again, the entire country started to converge on the heartland of football here.”

The 2015 draft was held in the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University. But O’Reilly said they are considering all options.

The draft also was held in Chicago in 1938, 1942-44, 1951, and 1962-64.

Kimberley native Jared du Toit works his way around the track at Lambton Golf & Country Club in Toronto during first-round action at the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship Tuesday morning. First-round action was completed Tuesday morning after inclement weather prevented many competitors from teeing off Monday.

du Toit completes opening round at Canadian Amateur Championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

It might have taken an extra day, but Kimberley native Jared du Toit was finally able to start and complete his first round at the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship.

Heavy rain poured down in the Toronto area Monday, leading to the suspension of firstround action at both Lambton Golf & Country Club and Weston Golf & Country Club before du Toit was able to tee up.

The former Selkirk Secondary School stu-

dent and recent transfer to Arizona State University finally hit the links at Lambton at approximately 7:25 a.m. (Eastern) Tuesday morning, rolling to an opening-round 72 to sit oneover par after 18 holes.

The Kimberley Golf Club product was then set to tee off his second round at approximately 4:25 p.m. (Eastern) over at Weston.

As of press time, du Toit was nine holes into his second round, sitting even par on the day, leaving his tournament score at one-over par, good enough to sit tied

for 32nd.

As of press time, Ben Eccles (Australia) and Eric Banks (Truro, N.S.) sat tied atop the leaderboard at seven-under par following 36 holes of play.

Through his opening first round, du Toit fired a two-over 38 on the front nine before closing out with a one-under 34 on the back nine at the 7,005-yard Lambton Golf & Country Club.

Lambton Golf & Country Club was founded in 1902. In 2008, its golf course was redesigned.

Weston Golf & Coun-

try Club was established in 1915. Its course features 6,808 total yards to be conquered. 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 winner of the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship receives exemption into the 2015 USGA Men’s Amateur Championship (Aug. 17 to 23 in Olympia Fields, Ill.) as well as the 2016 RBC Canadian Open.

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

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

Third-round action at the Weston Golf & Country Club is scheduled to begin Wednesday. Individual groups and tee times were unavailable as of press time Tuesday.

Serena Williams avoids first-round scare at Rogers Cup in Toronto ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO - Topranked Serena Williams rebounded to beat Italy’s Flavia Pennetta 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 on Tuesday in the first round of the WTA Tour’s Rogers Cup. “I was really frustrated with how I was playing,” Williams said. “And then I got really angry. ...

So I said, ‘Serena, you’re

going to have to be positive and be good to yourself out here.”’

The 21-time Grand Slam winner won a day after sister Venus Williams was eliminated in straight sets by Germany’s Sabine Lisicki.

The 33-year-old Williams blamed unforced errors for early struggles.

“It was a good oppor-

tunity for me because I haven’t played a match on hard courts since April-ish, early, early April, after Miami,” Williams said. “It was a long time ago. So I think it was really good for me to have that match play.”

Williams won first of her three Toronto titles in 2001. She also won the event in Montreal in

2000.

“Like a nice vintage wine, Williams said. ”A good vintage red wine, I’d say, getting better with age, I hope.“ Also, France’s Alize Cornet upset ninth-seeded Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-4, qualifier Mirjana Lucic-Baroni of Croatia beat 10th-seeded Karoli-

na Pliskova 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-2, and No. 11 Ekaterina Makarova of Russia topped American qualifier Anna Tatishvili 6-3, 6-3.

Belarus’ Victoria Azarenka beat Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-1, 6-4, and Germany’s Angelique Kerber beat Japanese qualifier Misaki Doi 6-0, 6-1.

All four federal candidates set for chamber forum Continued from page 1

As of right now, there isn’t a moderator set in stone, but Hull will be looking to recruit some members of the chamber executive board or other members of the community who can help move the conversation along and keep the discussion on topic.

“First and foremost, this is a Chamber of Commerce All-Candidates forum and somewhat of a debate, so we

are focusing on things that are important to the business community, both nationally, provincially and locally,”

Hull said.

“So that is going to be the focus of our evening.”

Breaking down the

subjects, the discussion will focus on access to a powerful workforce, capital, technology and innovation and mar-

kets. Roughly 20 questions will be submitted in advance to each candidate to allow for time to research any background and consult with party platforms, said Hull.

There will also be a chance for the audience to submit written questions which will be pre-

Province funding social services For the Townsman

CRANBROOK – One organization in Cranbrook and another in Fernie are receiving funding from the Ministry of Children and Family Development to help support Aboriginal women and children who are affected by domestic violence and fleeing abuse so they can rebuild their lives.

The Elk Valley Safe House in Fernie is receiving $10,000 and the Kootenay Haven Transition House in Cranbrook is receiving $5,000.

Aboriginal women and children make up a large percentage of British Columbians who are affected by domestic vi-

olence and other crimes. In fact, Aboriginal women in B.C. are nearly three times more likely to be victims of domestic violence than non-Aboriginal women.

“This funding will help Aboriginal women in the East Kootenay who experience domestic violence to get the help they need to rebuild their lives by providing them with services and supports,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “Our government will continue to support victims of domestic violence as we work to ensure all women and children can feel safe and secure.”

This funding will

allow the Elkford Women’s Task Force Society and the Canadian Mental Health Association for the Kootenays to help improve programs and services and make them more accessible to the Aboriginal women and children who need them.

For example, the subsidy will be used toward the cost of: · Transportation to a transition house/safe home, a doctor’s appointment or lawyer meeting, or to fly a highrisk client out of the community; · Medical and legal services; · Important documents, such as identification;

· Clothing and personal items if the woman/child had to leave their home quickly.

Today’s announcement is part of the provincial government’s second- and third-year commitments under the three-year, $5.5-million Provincial Domestic Violence Plan to provide direct services for Aboriginal children, youth and families in rural and remote communities.

The B.C. government commits more than $70 million per year in prevention and intervention services and programs that benefit victims of domestic violence and other crimes.

Wayne Stetski

sented to the candidates over the course of the forum.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the event should be wrapped up by 9 p.m.

The event will start with opening remarks chosen randomly from all four candidates and will end with closing statements in reverse order from how it started.

An interesting element to the event includes the use of rebuttal cards.

Each candidate will be issued five 30-second rebuttal cards to use as they see fit.

It’s a system Hull has used in the past with Chamber debates in other communities.

“They’ve become quite strategic and a lot of fun and I think it’ll put a very interesting interjection of debate within the forum,” Hull said.

The chamber forum is first confirmed event that will feature all four federal candidates in Cranbrook.

“I have no doubt there will be other groups beside the Chambers of Commerce in the communities in our riding hosting a forum and events and chances to quiz the candidates and ask them questions,” said Hull. “But I just wanted to get ours on the calendar first.”

Public Consultation: Proposed Amendment of Official Community Plan The City of Cranbrook has received an application to amend the City’s Official Community Plan.

On July 13, 2015, City Council gave first reading to “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3829, 2015”.

If adopted, the proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will change the land use designation of the property from “Medium Density Residential” to “Park / Institutional/ Recreation”.

Approval of the proposed OCP amendment will enable consideration of a zoning bylaw amendment. The proposed zoning amendment will add a new zone, “Comprehensive Development Zone 6: CD-6 Sonja’s Garden Housing Development”, to the Zoning Bylaw, and rezone the subject property to the new zone. The new zoning will facilitate development of two (2) new buildings with a total of eighteen (18) 1-bedroon apartmentstyle units and the addition of social services program and office space uses on the property.

The subject property is legally described as Lot 1, District Lot 4, Kootenay District Plan NEP70152 (Civic Address: 1000 21st Avenue. North), as shown on the map below.

Kimberley’s pot dispensary question C arolyn Gr ant Daily Bulletin

Kimberley City Council needs to make a decision on what to do about requests for business licenses for medical marijuana dispensaries, and will devote an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting to a discussion on the matter.

Last month another group approached City Council about opening a dispensary after Council granted a business license to Tamarack Dispensaries, which now operates in Marysville.

In both cases, City Staff had originally denied the business license request because the businesses are technically not approved under federal law. In the case of Tamarack, Council decided to grant a business license after discussion with the

owners.

In the second case, the owners never officially asked for a business license again after being denied, just provided information.

Now the proponent has written Council again asking that another look be taken at the decision to turn them down.

Mayor Don McCormick says that the latest letter has asked for a business license in a ‘reasonably direct manner’.

“But we are only three weeks into Tamarack opening and we are collecting data on its place in the community. It’s prudent to see what we are dealing with.”

“This business would be more than edibles,” Coun. Albert Hoglund pointed out.

“I would support staff’s decision to deny for now,” said Coun.

Kent Goodwin. “I have concerns

regarding the quality of information given. We’re treading new ground and need to go slowly.”

“In fairness we need to give him a time line,” said Coun. Nigel Kitto.

Hoglund said Council was already treading some very thin ground considering they had allowed a coffee shop to be constructed out of sea-cans in Marysville right across the street from another new coffee shop.

Why are they allowing competition in some cases and not others?

“I think we need a broader discussion of all these issues at Committee of the Whole to find the path forward,” McCormick said. “We can get back to the proponent and tell him we are deferring to a Committee of the Whole meeting.”

A copy of the proposed “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3829, 2015” is available at City Hall for public information.

If you require more information or wish to comment on the proposed OCP amendment, please contact Ms. Jamai Schile, Community Planner at (250) 489-0202.

Please provide written comments by August 17, 2015.

change fast if al Qaeda’s leadership is discredited by the lies it has been telling.

If Mullah Omar actually died in 2013, he could not have denounced Baghdadi’s claim to be the legitimate caliph in 2014.

Similarly, Zawahiri’s pledge of allegiance to him in 2014 was either a deliberate lie, or a demonstration that he is hopelessly out of touch with what is actually happening beyond his hide-out, presumably somewhere in Pakistan. Either way, al Qaeda loses credibility.

There would be no reason to mourn the decline of al Qaeda except that the main beneficiary will be Islamic State. There is no strong reason to prefer one organisation to the other, either – except that the last thing the world needs is for Islamic State to take over all of al Qaeda’s franchises and create a single, much more powerful and attractive Islamist fighting front.

The current state of division of the extreme Islamist movement is deplored by almost everybody in both organisations.

There is little ideological difference between them, although Islamic State is more apocalytic in its vision. If al Qaeda’s claim to leadership is seriously undermined by its lies about Mullah Omar, the unification of most or all the Islamist groups under Baghdadi’s authority is a real possibility.

The first victim of that would be the Assad regime in Syria, which is already tottering, and an Islamist takeover of the whole country. But much more might follow, and none of it would be good news.

Study says F-35 may not meet performance standards of CF-18 Murr ay Bre wster Canadian Press

OTTAWA - A U.S. defence and foreign affairs think tank released a comprehensive report Tuesday suggesting the oft-maligned F-35 jet might not meet the performance standards of existing fighter planes, including Canada’s CF18s.

The National Security Network, a non-profit foreign policy group based in Washington, D.C., is the latest organization to raise questions about the stealth fighter program, which is over budget and behind schedule in the U.S. Other organizations, including the Rand Corp., have studied the troubled program, but much of the analysis has revolved around the enormous cost and some of the technical snags, such as software, that have held up development. There have also been simulations that have compared the F-35 to potential competitors.

One of the key fea-

tures of the latest report is its comparison of F-35 operational capabilities with the jets it is intended to replace, including the F-16, F-18 and A-10.

In each case, the stealth fighter comes up short.

The group urges the Obama administration to do a “serious” reassessment of the program and determine whether there are alternatives available.

“Whether this opportunity to seriously reassess DOD’s commitment to the F-35 will be seized remains to be seen,” the report said. “But, by staying fully committed to the F-35 program, the United States is investing unprecedented resources in the wrong aircraft, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons.”

No one at Lockheed Martin, the plane’s U.S.’s manufacturer, was immediately available for comment.

The Harper government put its purchase of 65 F-35s on hold after being accused by the auditor general of fudging

the price tag and not doing sufficient research.

It plans to extend the life of the CF-18s to 2025.

The planned RCAF purchase, which would have cost taxpayers an estimated $44 billion over its four-decade lifetime, was a prominent feature of the last election campaign in 2011, but since the auditor general’s report it has slipped off the public radar as the bureaucracy

has buried it in studies, analyses and process.

Some defence observers and commentators have suggested the plan to refurbish the 1980s-era CF-18s has effectively neutralized the politically damaging issue, at least until the Oct. 19 vote. But University of British Columbia political scientist and defence expert Michael Byers says the new report should remind the

public that replacement of the one of the military’s core fleets has been badly mismanaged.

“I think governments need to be made to own failures like that,” said Byers, who has urged the government to abandon the F-35 in favour of another plane. “Our fleet of fighter aircraft is unacceptably old and there is no current plan to replace them.”

Byers said metal fatigue on the CF-18 airframes is a concern. The air force has said the current bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria is not adding to wear on the existing jets because they are not facing the stress of high-speed manoeuvres.

Byers accepts that, but he says the increasing threat of Russian incursions - either into Canadian airspace or in

other NATO countries means the fighters will be called upon to perform more stressful flying.

Researchers noted that matching the F-16’s manoeuvrability was a minimum design requirement for the F-35, yet they concluded the older jet is capable of flying faster and enjoys better wing-loading performance, an aspect critical for dogfighting.

Syncrude faces protection order after heron deaths C anadian Press

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. Oilsands giant Syncrude is facing an environmental protection order following the deaths of 30 great blue herons at one of its sites.

“It’s guidance to the company,” Alberta Energy Regulator spokesman Bob Curran said Tuesday. “We’re specifying what our expectations are, what information we expect the company to deliver and in what time frame.”

Syncrude revealed on the weekend that 29 carcasses

from the large shorebirds were discovered last Friday near a pump house at an abandoned sump pond at the Mildred Lake mine site north of Fort McMurray. One additional bird was euthanized on the order of Alberta Fish and Wildlife.

Despite previous reports that bird deterrents at the facility were fully working, Syncrude spokesman Will Gibson acknowledged Tuesday that no such equipment was in operation.

“We didn’t have any deter-

rents in the area at the time,” he said. “We typically put deterrents around our tailings facility.”

Since the discovery, Syncrude has installed fencing, sound cannons and bird-scaring statues, including a robotic falcon. Human observers are also stationed at the site around the clock.

Gibson was unable to say if similar measures have been installed at any of Syncrude’s other sumps.

“We want to find out what attracted (the birds) there. I

don’t want to speculate about whether we have a similar set of circumstances at other sumps in our operation.”

Curran said an investigation is to determine if Syncrude was following all rules regarding wildlife.

“We need to determine the cause of death of those birds, because we don’t know what it is.”

Meanwhile, the company is obliged to collect samples from the site for analysis, develop a plan to clean it up and publish daily reports on its progress.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I was divorced in 1972 and was given custody of our 2-year-old son. As much as I didn’t want the divorce, my husband was an alcoholic who refused help. I finally realized it was the only way to protect my son. My ex did not use his visitation rights and never paid child support.

I remarried when my son was 4. My new husband wanted to adopt him, but my ex at first refused to relinquish his rights.

When my son was 6, my ex called early in the morning (drunk) and said adoption was OK. When our son turned 10, my ex called wanting to see him. I refused, saying it would be too disruptive to his life.

When my son was 18, I asked whether he wanted to know anything about his biological father, but he declined. I asked him again at 21, saying that people can change and that he should be prepared for the day when his bio dad shows up on his doorstep. He didn’t care.

Our son is now 45, and my ex recently called wanting to have our son’s contact information. Instead, I gave our son his biological father’s contact information.

He had no interest and tossed it away. He considers my husband to be his father.

To appease my ex (and hopefully stop him from trying to track our son down), I told him I would send him general information about our son’s life, along with a few pictures. But now I’m having second thoughts, because I know neither my husband nor our son would approve. I have done nothing so far and am stressed about the situation. I would appreciate your opinion. -- Second Thoughts Dear Second: If your ex wanted to track down your son, he could probably do so without any appeasement from you, but we understand why you are willing to indulge him with photos and information.

Nonetheless, you should not have made such a promise without consulting your son.

It is his decision, so talk to him. Explain that you don’t expect him to want a relationship with his biological father, nor does he owe him any information. But it would be a kindness to give the man some peace of mind after all these years. Whatever decision your son makes, please abide by it.

Dear Annie: I’m in a similar situation to “Not Jealous, Just Hurt,” whose husband’s ex-wife turned up at all the family funerals.

I’ve been married for 25 years and my husband’s mother and daughter think it’s perfectly OK for his ex-wife to be included in family gatherings. His mother visits with his ex-wife now and then, and the woman is also welcome in her home. None of them, including my husband, seems to care how I feel about the situation. I don’t feel welcome.

I’m ready to call it quits. -- Hurt as Well Dear Hurt: Your husband has a daughter with his ex-wife. That means his daughter will want her mother at all family gatherings.

It means your mother-in-law will invite the ex because her granddaughter wants her there. It means your husband will tolerate this for his daughter’s sake. You don’t have to like this situation, but after 25 years, we are surprised you haven’t found a way to deal with it. Unless your husband is actively interested in his ex, this situation should not be so threatening. Please talk to an unbiased third party and figure out what you can live with.
