City, Union wait for Essential Services ruling C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Steelworkers 1-405 members met with Union leaders at Centennial Hall in Kimberley on Monday evening, and Jeff Bromley from the Steelworkers says that the mood of members is “upset”.

“To be honest members feel upset, they feel attacked by some of the comments the Mayor has made in the media. They are taking some of these comments personally.

“They know, we know, that Kimberley is not a rich city. Money doesn’t grow on trees. We know that. Any deal, we hope, would include a reasonable, fair wage increase, but as we have said all along, money isn’t an issue. But the attack on vacation, on the job evaluation program, it’s upsetting.

“The Mayor keeps asking us to be part of the solution but they aren’t asking us to participate in that way. We are being told.”

Right now, the situation is going through the process of establishing essential services with the Labour Relations Board. Bromley says both the city and union went back and forth on Friday and Monday about what the numbers are.

“The employer would say we need x amount of people and we understand that, but the employers says it wants snow removal as an essential service. It’s July. I think that could be dealt with down the road. Where we disagree are the levels.”

Bromley says he expects there should be something hammered out by the end of this week. If it’s not, it will go to hearings.

Until the Labour Relations Board makes the ruling on essential services, there won’t be a strike or a lock out.

“Either side can give notice,” Bromley said.

“But nothing can happen until there’s a ruling.”

“Hopefully cooler heads will prevail. We won’t panic.”

Mayor Don McCormick was unavailable for comment.

Cranbrook’s Jennifer De Pippo is golden after staking out a first-place finish in the 800-metre freestyle swim at the 2016 Speedo Can-Am Para-swimming Championship in Gatineau, Que. (July 15 to 17).

“I did all I could to get myself ready,” De Pippo said Tuesday afternoon.

“My coach says, ‘Don’t work hard, work smart.’

So, I worked smart and in the end it paid off.

“I wasn’t nervous because I just took every swim as it came. I knew I was ready and the results proved it.”

In the 800-m freestyle, De Pippo set a personal best, breaking the 13-minute mark to claim gold in 12:57.

“I was so excited for my first gold medal,” De Pippo said. “I worked hard for it and my hard work is finally getting recognized. It’s just an incentive for me to keep on going.”

De Pippo also earned a top-five finish in the 400-m freestyle, coming in at 6:30.08. Her time of 6:25.14 in the 400-m freestyle preliminary ranked as a new personal best.

The 29-year-old Cranbrook native also registered personal bests in the 50-m freestyle (00:36.56), 100-m freestyle (1:22.33) and 200-m freestyle (3:06.40).

“All the times I accomplished for the free [swims] were personal bests,” De Pippo said.

“The breaststroke is still a work in progress for me. With that said, I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me for all four strokes.”

With the Gatineau Can-Am event in the books, De Pippo is going to rest up through the remaining summer months before beginning training once again in September. Outside of her daily two-hour pool sessions, De Pippo credits healthy eating routines and regular work in the gym for helping her get this far to date. And she doesn’t plan on straying from that recipe for success.

Next on her list of events is the 2017 Speedo Can-Am Para-swimming Championship, scheduled for March 30 to April 2, 2017, in Windsor, Ont. From there, she hopes to attend the 2017 Canadian Swimming Championships in Montreal, which are booked for Aug. 4 to 7, 2017.

Unfortunately, De Pippo fell short of her goal of earning an opportunity to compete at

the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but that hasn’t dampened her spirits as she now sets her sights on the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

“I’m working towards Tokyo 2020 and things are looking pretty good,” De Pippo said.

When De Pippo was eight years old, she was nearly killed in a car accident, which claimed the life of her mother.

The collision left De Pippo with brain injuries that doctors expected would leave her unable to walk or talk.

Instead, she has proven doubters and doctors wrong, competing at an elite level within the para-swimming world, while also co-authoring the telling of her story — ‘An Unexpected Miracle: Conquering Brain Injury’ — in 2014.

Mule deer being collared prior to release. toward developing actions to increase population abundance. And that is exactly what biologists with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) are planning to achieve with an ongoing Mule Deer monitoring project.

Year two of the planned five-year project has just been completed, with funding from the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) under the Upper Kootenay Ecosystem Enhancement Plan (UKEEP), which is a partnership between the FWCP and Columbia Basin Trust.

Other project funders are the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and Southern Guides & Outfitters. The biologists have already uncovered some interesting findings after tracking 88 female Mule Deer fitted with GPS collars in four separate areas: Wigwam/ Grasmere, Newgate, Dutch Findlay, and West Kootenay.

First is that the different populations are exhibiting very distinct migration patterns. The Mule Deer on the east side of Koocanusa Reservoir, for example, are moving huge distances, much longer than those in the others areas. These deer are typically travelling up to 60 kilometres and some have even gone into Alberta and back.

“This is probably related to quality of habi-

tat,” said project lead and FLNRO wildlife biologist, Patrick Stent. “The deer on the east side have access to a lot of highly productive summer range habitat, including regenerating burns and sub-alpine terrain, and will use it, while those on the west side are limited to a rolling, low elevation forested landscape and are more restricted. It did surprise us that the Grasmere/Wigwam deer were crossing multiple big drainages to spend their summer in specific sites.”

Since the study began, there have been 19 Mule Deer mortalities; the causes were from cougars (7), wolves (5), vehicle collisions (3), illegal poaching (1), an unknown predator (1), natural causes (1), and unknown (1).

“These causes of mortality are not surprising and survival rates are within the ranges reported in other Mule Deer populations in the northwest US,” added Stent. “It is possible that the project started after the population decline occurred and mule deer populations may just now be recovering. We hope to continue the project over the long-term so we can gain a better understanding of factors that contribute to declines when they occur.”

While doe survival rates are average, there is more positive news on population growth. Likely due to a relatively high

MINISTRY OF FORESTS, LANDS AND NATURAL RESOURCE OPERATIONS

number of fawns being produced, combined with the last two mild winters, models suggest modest population growth in both the Mule Deer herds east and west of Koocanusa Reservoir. Currently, there is insufficient data from the other herds to report any initial findings.

There are proposed ecosystem restoration activities, such as prescribed burns, close to where some of the Mule Deer were collared, so the biologists will be able to monitor use of enhancement areas preand post-treatment.

“And finally there is a positive spin-off of doing this work right now because of the pilot project currently being implemented to relocate Mule Deer from some urban areas to areas where resident populations have declined,” said Stent. This is another project that is benefiting from funding under UKEEP. “We can directly compare survival rates and movement between those collared urban deer released into our study area, and those deer we have collared.

During the urban deer translocation project that has moved a total of 60 deer, 29 were released with GPS radio collars. Of those, eight have died, mostly from cougar predation.

“That’s just over 25 per cent mortality which is better than many people thought the urban

deer would suffer,” said project coordinator Ian Adams of VAST Resource Solutions. “The big surprise is that their movements have varied considerably – some moving over 300 kilometres, and others have stayed very close to their release site.”

The combination of these two projects present a very valuable and unique comparison of movement and survivorship of two groups of mule deer – non-urban and urban. Having collars on non-urban mule deer in the same places at the same time provides an invaluable control population against which to compare the movement and survival data of the translocated urban deer.

For the non-urban deer project, more will be collared this year, especially in the West Kootenay, and there will also be an assessment of migration barriers and identification of opportunities for habitat restoration.

The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program is a partnership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and Public Stakeholders to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife impacted by BC Hydro dams.

KSCU labour situation in holding pattern C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

There is another labour situation sitting in limbo right now, and that is between the United Steelworkers and Kootenay Savings Credit Union.

The 110 unionized staff at the Trail, Castlegar, Fruitvale, Salmo, South Slocan, Kaslo and Kimberley branches voted 94 per cent in favour of job action. Mediation between the employer and union failed in June, but there have been no announcements since.

Jeff Bromley with the Steelworkers says they are in a holding pattern right now.

“It’s easy to go on strike, but we’re trying to be more strategic, to see if we can get the employer to back off on some of the pension language. We are strategizing behind closed doors at the moment.”

Tristen Chernove is officially going to the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games.

His stellar results at World Cup races and at the Canadian nationals all but guaranteed him a spot on the Canadian paralympic cycling team, however, the roster was officially announced by Cycling Canada at the end of June.

And Chernove’s name was on it.

“I’ve been an athlete my whole life and definitely being able to go to the Paralympic Games as a champion of Canada — I’ve already won some big international stuff, which in many ways was a lot bigger — but there’s something really special about going as the nation’s champion to an international event like the Olympics.

It’s going to be pretty cool,” said Chernove.

His place on the Paralympic team comes on the heels of his double-gold performance at the 2016 Global Relay Canadian Road Championships in Quebec at the end for June. Chernove hit the podium in the 50-kilometre road race, finishing with a time of 1:15.36, while also nabbing the the top spot in a 16-kilometre time trial event at 23:50.48.

“It was great,” said Chernove. “It was really exciting to be on home soil amongst our nation’s most passionate cyclists and the community. It was neat going straight to the international stuff, but this was my first time competing at nationals.

“It was a bit of a test for me, it was my first national time trial, in the context of being on a proper time trial bike, which they had just built for me days before, so everything was brand new, which added to the stress, but it all turned out real well. I was super happy with my perfor-

mance.”

Now, it’s going to be all about training for the biggest stage of his athletic career as the Olympic and Paralympic Games loom in Brazil.

In a week, Chernove will be off to a velodrome in Milton, Ont, for some training and there will be some media and public relations events with the Olympic and Paralympic cycling teams.

After that, he’ll return home with his coach, who will live with him until the Games begin, to help maximize his regimen.

I think my training’s been working well for me all along,” Chernove said. “The biggest difficulty is that because I’ve done really well on road and track, and I’m doing both disciplines at Rio and not having trained for both at the same time before, the caution is knowing how my body’s going to respond because I’m trying to keep my long distance endurance but at the same time, maximize my short-distance speed for the track stuff, which is a very difficult thing to do.”

Ever humble, Chernove also acknowledged the support he’s received from his family, coworkers and the community that’s helped him on his path to the Paralympic journey.

“The support I’ve received and congratulations around town, I don’t think people realize, but it really does help,” Chernove said. “I feel like there’s all these people behind me when I have to do a workout that really hurts, it definitely helps to feel like I’ve got all those people that I don’t want to let down.

“It’s not just myself, it’s a whole community. I feel really proud to be representing Cranbrook and knowing that everyone’s paying attention and watching is definitely keeping my focus that much more clear.”

Brexit: Theresa May’s Strategy

S

o far, so good. Boris Johnson, the face of the “Out” side in last month’s Brexit referendum and now Britain’s new Foreign Secretary, got through his first encounter with the 27 other foreign ministers of European Union countries on Monday without insulting anybody.

They were gathered in Brussels for a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry, and “Boris” was on his best behaviour. He didn’t call anybody a “monosyllabic Austrian cyborg” (Arnold Schwartzenegger) or “a cross-eyed Texan warmonger” (George W. Bush).

The poem he wrote in May about Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan having sex with a goat – just google Turkish President Offensive Poetry Competition – didn’t come up as there were no Turks present. There were no Russians at the Brussels meeting either, so nobody objected to his recent remark that President Vladimir Putin looks like Dobbie the House Elf. As for John Kerry, he was the soul of tact about Johnson’s description of Hillary Clinton as a woman with “dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital.” Boris is the Clown Prince of British journalism, but you have to admit that he is a very odd choice for chief British diplomat.

He wasn’t the only surprising choice that new Prime Minister Theresa May made in filling her cabinet. The man who gets the tricky job of negotiating the terms of Britain’s exit from the European Union is David Davies – who as recently as two months ago thought that this could be done by making trade deals separately with each EU member. (They always ne-

gotiate as a bloc.)

But Davies was a leading Brexiteer during the referendum campaign, so he gets the job anyway. Liam Fox, the new Secretary of State for International Trade, who will have the thankless task of negotiating new trade deals with countries around the world to make up for Britain’s lost trade with Europe – deals that cannot come into effect until the UK has actually left the EU – was also a leading voice in the pro-Brexit campaign.

So May (who was in favour of “Remain”, and probably still secretly thinks it would have been the better outcome) has chosen the three most prominent Brexiteers to deal with the hugely difficult task of finding a way for the United Kingdom to leave the EU without ending up in the poor-house. Johnson, Davies and Fox are not the three best Gwynne certainly negotiators for the job, so what is she up to?

Dyer One part of her strategy is obvious: “Keep your enemies close.”

With the three leading Brexiteers in the cabinet, they will have less time and opportunity to plot against her. But another adage also applies: “Give your enemies enough rope, and they’ll hang themselves.”

The Brexiteers won the referendum by promising that exit from the EU would be easy and painless. So let them take charge of negotiating that exit – and let them take the blame for the very painful terms that Britain will probably have to accept as the price of leaving.

Will they be worse terms than a different negotiating team might achieve?

Johnson is profoundly unpopular in Europe: France’s foreign minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault, told French radio that Johnson

“told a lot of lies to the British people and now it is him who has his back against the wall.” But a more charming (or at least less insulting) British foreign secretary would probably get the same deal. It’s not really about personalities.

The great advantage for May in having the Three Brexiteers negotiate the deal is that nobody will be able to say that a more devoted team would have got a better deal. And maybe by then she will even be able to say that the deal is so bad that the UK should have another referendum (or a general election) about it before actually leaving.

She can’t say that now, so she just says “Brexit is Brexit”. But at least two years will pass before the outcome of the exit negotiations is known, and by then many things may have changed.

The British pound may be worth even less (some suggest that it will be at par with the US dollar). The British economy will probably be in a recession, and maybe a full-scale financial crisis, as foreign investment dries up and the huge British trade deficit becomes unmanageable.

Jobs will have begun to disappear in large numbers, and British voters may be in a quite different mood than they are today.

Or maybe they will be even angrier at the stupid foreigners who won’t accept that the world owes them a living. You can’t really predict how the politics will play out. But May loses nothing by letting the leading Brexiteers try to make their promises come true – and when they fail, as they inevitably will, it might even create a chance to reverse the verdict of last month’s referendum.

Former Ice goaltender signs AHL deal Nathan Lieuwen puts pen to paper with San Antonio Rampage

TAYLOR ROCC A

Former Kootenay Ice goaltender Nathan Lieuwen is taking his game to a new barn for the 2016-17 season.

After spending the first four years of his professional hockey career within the Buffalo Sabres organization, Lieuwen signed a oneyear American Hockey League (AHL) contract with the San Antonio Rampage — a minor league affiliate of the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche — Tuesday.

The Rampage announced the signing of Lieuwen as well as the addition of goaltender Kent Simpson Tuesday afternoon.

“We’re happy to add both Kent and Nathan to our goaltending depth,” said Craig Billington, general manager of the Rampage, in a team release. “Both of these guys have experience in the National

League and American League, and we’re looking forward to working with them this season.”

The 24-year-old Lieuwen — a native of Abbotsford — spent four full seasons with the WHL’s Kootenay Ice (2008-09 to 2011-12) where he went 85-67-7 with nine shutouts with a 2.76 goals-against average (GAA) and .903 save percentage (SP).

The 6-foot-5, 190pound netminder played a vital role in Kootenay’s run to the 2011 WHL championship, earning WHL Playoff MVP honours.

That playoff performance earned Lieuwen enough recognition to be selected by the Buffalo Sabres during the sixth round (167th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

After wrapping up his junior career at the conclusion of 2011-12, Lieu-

In seven NHL games that season, Lieuwen went 1-4-0 with a 2.98 GAA and .906 SP. After signing a oneyear contract to return to the Sabres’ organization, Lieuwen spent all of 2015-16 with the franchise’s AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans.

In 28 appearances, he went 14-11-2 with a 2.91 GAA and .909 SP. Over a four-year pro career, Lieuwen has appeared in 80 AHL outings, registering a record of 36-33-4 with a 2.73 GAA and .910 SP. The Rampage finished the 2015-16 season with a record of 3335-8-0, leaving them last in the seven-team Pacific Division and outside the AHL playoff picture.

TAYLOR ROCC A

Cranbrook’s dynamic wakeboarding Duczek brothers are at it again.

Dagen and Ryder Duczek are off to a solid start on the water this summer, having already made a handful of podium appearances throughout the region.

The first event of the season took the Duczeks south of the border for the INT League Northwest Division Tour at Hauser Lake, Idaho, where the brothers owned the Junior Boys Wakeboarding class with nine-year-old Dagen claiming first and Ryder staking out second place.

“We had good water,” Dagen said of his firstplace rip. “I managed to land some big grabs.”

In Junior Boys Wakesurf competition, it was 11-year-old Ryder landing atop the podium, while the younger Dagen finished in second.

Next on the itinerary, the Duczeks were off to Pine Lake, Alta., for a stop on the Water Ski and Wakeboard Alberta Tour. The location may have changed, but the results were much the same as Ryder collected a gold medal in Intermediate Wakeboard competition with Dagen settling for silver.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

In Intermediate Wakesurf, Ryder was golden once again, while Dagen just finished off the podium in fourth.

“It was an awesome day,” Ryder said of his double-gold effort.

“Definitely another battle of the brothers in the wakeboard division.”

The Duczek brothers train at Tie Lake, near Jaffray. Next on the calendar are stops in Alberta, B.C., and U.S. The Duczek brothers wished to extend gratitude to their community sponsors, including Hyperlite, Just Liquid Sports and Boston Pizza (Cranbrook/Golden).

The Can-Am swim meets are designed to bring together para-swimmers from the Canada and United States for two standalone competitions per year, aimed at enhancing the development to the international level.

According to the International Paralympic Committee, athletes competing in Paralympic sports have an impairment that leads to a competitive disadvantage in sport. There are 10 eligible classifications that allow a person to compete as a para-athlete, including eight physical impairments, visual impairments and intellectual impairments.

De Pippo wished to extend gratitude to Frank Sandor of Sandor Rental Equipment and Jim Fiorentino of Fiorentino Brothers for their support.

Skier lauds new brain recovery technique Vancouver hospital TAMSYN BURGMANN Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - For weeks after professional skier Jamie CraneMauzy injured her brain while competing in Whistler, B.C., the 23-year-old says she experienced the world like the protagonist in the movie “50 First Dates.”

She could talk and interact, but would have no idea what she had done the previous day.

On one occasion, she performed a fully choreographed dance to a Taylor Swift song in a cafeteria.

Crane-Mauzy said her behaviour was a sign of recovery, and she is attributing her positive prognosis to a newly implemented technique at Vancouver General Hospital.

“I was lucky, my personality didn’t change,” she said with a huge smile at a news conference on Tuesday.

“I get to travel around the world. I get to go skiing again. I get to live tomorrow.”

Crane-Mauzy was choppered off the mountain and hospitalized in Canada for eight days in April 2015 after crashing during a double backflip at the World Ski and Snowboard Festival.

Doctors decided she would become the first patient in British Columbia to undergo autoregulation monitoring, a technique that determines the precise oxygen and blood pressure levels in the brain.

To employ the technology, a surgeon made a small incision in her skull and inserted two wires.

Confirming the doctor’s suspicion, one wire measured a critically low oxygen level. Software was then used to analyze the data in con-

junction with information from the other wire about her blood pressure. Crane-Mauzy was given medicine to help her heart pump hard enough to send more oxygen to her brain.

The problem resolved within hours.

“Traditionally, what we’ve done ... is we’ve treated people in a onesize-fits-all approach,” said Dr. Mypinder Sekhon. “But now with the ability to identify single blood pressures, it allows us to individualize care.”

He was one of two critical care doctors from Vancouver General Hospital who studied the technique at Cambridge in the United Kingdom, where it was pioneered, and introduced it to B.C. Dr. Donald Griesdale, the other doctor, said it was coincidental that Crane-Mauzy was treated first. He said another 36 patients underwent autoregulation monitoring over the following year and 60 per cent of those had favourable outcomes.

There is only about a 37 per cent success rate with traditional treatment, he said.

The technology can help patients leave the intensive care unit sooner and give them a better chance at recovering to the point of living independently, he added.

Crane-Mauzy, who lives with her sister and mother in Utah, said she had to relearn to walk, talk and “absolutely everything” else. But today she no longer experiences headaches or emotional symptoms.

Before her accident she was ranked number two overall on the world tour for slopestyle and halfpipe skiing, but doesn’t expect to compete again.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Friends surround you, and you might not even realize that some of them are also your allies in certain situations. Your willingness to deal with difficult situations adds to your popularity.

Tonight: Try to see the validity of someone else’s thought process.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might not be pleased with everything that is happening at work. You’ll wonder why you are putting up with this situation, but it probably is because you feel as if you have no other choice. You do, as long as you are OK with conflict. Tonight: Be nice, even if you don’t agree.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Detach, and you are likely to come up with interesting ideas that seem agreeable to those around you. You might wonder why you have not made certain suggestions sooner. Don’t speculate -- just be more open about your thoughts. Tonight: Look to the long term.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

To feel more connected with others, plan on more one-onone time. As a result, some of them are likely to see a situation in a new light, and also might be more comfortable with being open. A disagreement is not as serious as you make it out to be.

Tonight: Celebrate the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more in touch with your needs before you try to work through a compromise. You could find a friend or close loved one to be extremely demanding.

For personal reasons, you might not be able to agree to this person’s terms. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You often make a fuss when you’re feeling pressured. Just because someone else makes a request does not mean you have to go along with it. Your sense of humor plays a significant role as you adapt. Listen to your intuition. Tonight: Get your errands done first.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more playful than usual. You recognize the lightness of your mood and will try

to be appropriate in a serious meeting. You might be somber, and others will want to cheer you up. Are you going to let them think that they’ve succeeded? Tonight: Get into the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Personal matters might become dominant and challenging. You have the ability to read between the lines with others, especially loved ones and close friends. You could feel pressured by someone you respect and look up to. Tonight: Fun and games. You know how to play!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You tend to come off far more serious than you might realize; others’ reactions will clue you in. Communication could be excellent, even if you don’t see eye to eye with someone. A friend might be too challenging to play it cool. Tonight: Consider a weekend getaway.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Curb a tendency to be demanding and too sure of yourself. As a result, others will be more open in conversations. A difference of opinion is just that and noth-

ing more, although you might want to take a stand if the issue involves money. Tonight: Let someone else pick up the tab.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll hit your power days this month. You might want to handle any matter that you feel is dependent on your energy and drive now. A friend usually is not receptive to your ideas. Do not allow this person to get to you.

Maintain a perspective. Tonight: As you like it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know what you want. Any attempt to communicate might come off as being too serious for others to understand where you are coming from. If you get in a tiff with someone, you might want to step back and attempt to speak in a different tone. Tonight: Not to be found.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife and I have a baby girl, “Alice,” now a year old. My wife’s divorced sister, “Leora,” stayed with us during most of my wife’s pregnancy and moved into an apartment across the street several months after Alice’s birth. She has been around constantly ever since.

The sisters always have been best friends.

The two of them ended up giving the baby her first bath, taking her on her first stroll, her first trip to my mother-in-law’s, lots of “firsts,” while I am left out. I would like Leora to go home, so my wife and I can enjoy our baby’s accomplishments.

I was hoping my wife would realize what was going on, but I fear she took my passivity as indifference. At one point I told her how I felt, and she said she understood, but things haven’t really changed. Meanwhile, I have gotten reports from friends and family that Leora talks behind my back, questioning my parenting skills since she “always has to do everything.” Worse, my wife says similar things about me to others.

Sex is almost nonexistent, and not from lack of interest on my part. When I try to discuss it or ask why she’s never in the mood, she says nothing is wrong. But obviously there is.

I believe we are both good parents, and we provide a decent home. So, how do I get my wife to realize that her relationship with her sister has driven a wedge between us? And how do I do it in such a way that there is no animosity between all of us? -- Mister Sister Blues Dear Sister Blues: Leora has become a convenient way for your wife to avoid you, both sexually and emotionally. Worry less about offending Leora and more about the health of your marriage. Tell your wife in plain English that you are unhappy, and ask her to go with you for counseling. (Don’t wait until Leora walks Alice down the aisle at her wedding.)

Dear Annie: I have been in an openly gay relationship for four years. For the past 20 years, I have celebrated holidays with former high-school friends. Spouses and significant others have never been included. I recently received two invitations from individuals who, since I “came out,” have stated that I am welcome in their homes. However, the invitations I received are addressed to me only.

Proper etiquette teaches us that a single person would be extended an invite which includes “and guest.” I doubt they addressed their single, heterosexual guests in the same manner. Please remind your readers that those of us who are openly gay take offense when their partner is discounted to the point of nonexistence. -- Not Closeted and Not Attending Dear Not Closeted: Actually, you have it backward. Unattached guests may be invited without dates. Attached guests are invited WITH their spouses or significant others.

Your partner should have been invited since you have a long-term relationship. If spouses and significant others have never been included in these parties, your partner would not be, either, and it has nothing to do with your sexual orientation. If you object to this policy, by all means, decline.

Dear Annie: If a person behaves badly toward someone, then sends a note of apology asking for forgiveness, who should make the next move? The person who behaved badly or the recipient of the note? -- Troubled Sister Dear Sister: The recipient of the note should have the grace to let you know you are forgiven. If, indeed, you are.

Canadian businesses catch Pokemon Go fever LINDA NGUYEN Canadian Press

TORONTO - The Pokemon Go sign directing people to the front door of Rock Candy Boutique in Halifax has only been up for a week, but Jeff Powers says he is already seeing it pay off.

“Downtown is alive in a way that I haven’t seen in a long, long time,” said Powers, a manager at the store, which sells various rock music T-shirts, hoodies, hats and other paraphernalia.

“There is just a flood from everybody, from young kids to older adults, and you can tell they’re playing this game.”

That would be Pokemon Go, which officially launched in Canada on Sunday. The wildly popular video game sends players on a quest to find superimposed animated characters on a map-like interface using the camera on their smartphones. It is currently the most downloaded app in the Apple app store.

Powers said Tuesday the sign has brought people into the store who wouldn’t normally

shop there but hear it’s a good place to play the augmented reality video game.

“This has just blown up bigger than anybody has expected,” he said, adding that the various Pokemon merchandise the store carries have also been flying off the shelves.

“It leads people to travel down streets they normally wouldn’t. It’s bringing a lot of foot traffic down to the side streets and a lot of people are coming in and buying things because they were just in the area.”

Some Canadian businesses have been jumping on the craze by actively encouraging potential customers to use their shops as PokeStops or Pokemon gyms - locations to play the game.

But marketing professor Ken Wong cautioned that although it may seem like a no-brainer for businesses to capitalize on Pokemon Go’s popularity, it can also backfire.

“It’s a statement of what your brand is, who it stands for and who it seeks to appeal to,” said Wong, who is with the

Stephen J.R. Smith School of Business at Queen’s University.

“While it may generate traffic for you, whether or not that traffic generates profitability in the short, and more importantly, long term is a different story. If you’re in a business that needs a promotion to stay in business, you’re already on a slippery slope.”

Wong said the publicity stunt would mostly profit businesses that appeal to the biggest demographic of Pokemon Go players or have a link to the game - for example, stores that sell cellphone accessories or comic books.

There may be a potential to grow business in the short term, but he doesn’t see that enduring.

“Eventually the novelty will wear off. There will always be diehards but it’s no different than the Trivial Pursuit craze,” he said.

“If you are the right kind of business, get in as soon as you can when the fad has the greatest duration of effect, because if you wait too long, the fad will be over.”

Dynamic U.S. presidential election fuelling novelty bets GEMMA K ARSTENSSMITH Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Most Canadians can’t vote in the U.S. presidential election, but it hasn’t stopped many from using their cash to voice an opinion on who they think will win.

The B.C. Lottery Corp. is taking online novelty bets on the American election, and spokesman Doug Cheng says there has been rapid growth in wagers since presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign began to gain momentum.

Cheng says U.S. election bets have become the highest earner on the website’s novelty betting category, surpassing the Oscars.

Cheng says the site has currently has the odds of Democrat Hillary Clinton winning the White House at about 2-5 and Trump’s odds at slightly less than 2-1.

He says in B.C., 38 per cent of people placing

bets have their money on Clinton becoming president, compared with 25 per cent for Trump.

But the BCLC site can also be used in Manitoba, and Cheng says the majority of people there have their money on the Republican candidate winning in November.

The corporation’s odds makers are constantly tracking the presidential race, adjusting the odds with every policy announcement and gaffe.

There have been stark changes in Trump’s odds, Cheng says.

In January 2015, they were set at 100-1, and a $10 bet that the businessman would become president would earn $1,010. Today, the return on that bet would be $28.50.

“I think that shows how he shaved his odds and how he went from being the underdog to being a viable option, economics wise.”

Cheng says the largest bet made for Trump

so far has been about $1,700 and there have been three wagers over $1,000, while there have been two bets of more than $2,000 for Clinton.

This isn’t the first time BCLC has taken bets on U.S. politics. It started in 2014, and Cheng says they were the first jurisdiction in Canada to do so.

“This is a fun way for British Columbians to take part in the election, even though most of us can’t vote in the U.S.” Canadians usually follow American presidential elections quite closely because the results can have an impact north of the border, Cheng added, but this race is a bit different.

“I think this election in particular is garnering even more attention because I think you have a person like Donald Trump who is such a dynamic and yet controversial candidate just dominating the headlines and I think you see that transferring over to our wagering.”

Trudeau urges youth to join national council TERRY PEDWELL Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Justin Trudeau skipped over normal government communication channels Tuesday in a bid to speak directly to young people he wants to see serve on a national council to advise him on their priorities.

Trudeau launched the application process for the council on Twitter, then spent an hour taking questions on the social media site about how the council will work.

“How we pass legislation that better reflects the concerns that young people have right now and the world they want to be a part of in the future is what this prime minister’s youth council is all about,” Trudeau said in a recorded video message to kick off the event.

“I can’t wait for everyone to sign up and join.”

Between July 22 and Aug. 12, anyone between the ages of 16 and 24 can apply for seats on the 30-member council, which will advise the prime minister on is-

sues affecting youth, including employment, access to education and climate change.

Employment is an issue of particular concern, with the country’s youth unemployment rate standing at 13 per cent and almost 363,000 young people looking for work in June.

Trudeau vowed during last year’s campaign to offer a 12 month holiday on employment insurance premiums to employers who give permanent jobs to people aged 1824. But the proposed measure didn’t receive a mention in the March budget.

Successful applicants from the first round will be invited to meet with Trudeau in October.

A second set of applications will be accepted until October 7, with the added members joining the inaugural group for a meeting with the prime minister next year.

Trudeau’s Twitter session marked the first time he used an online-only channel to make an announce-

ment as prime minister, foregoing a regular press release or news conference in front of reporters and cameras, his office said.

Trudeau did launch the Liberal party platform via Facebook Live during the election campaign, but media organizations were present for the unveiling.

At one point during his tenure as prime minister, Stephen Harper announced an entire cabinet shuffle via Twitter, before later issuing the standard media products.

While using social media to push an unfiltered political statement holds promise for staying on message, it does have its drawbacks, as evidenced Tuesday.

Many of the questions posed to the prime minister touched on his youth council message, but some participants had other things on their minds.

“Are you starting a new boy band,” one asked.

“No,” was Trudeau’s quick response.
