Aquatic Centre on track for re-opening Pool will be filled regardless of labour situation, City CAO says

C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The City of Kimberley has issued a press release saying that the Aquatic Centre is on track to re-open in late July after over three months of repairs required due to a catastrophic water failure.

Last week, City CAO Scott Sommerville told the Bulletin that there were still a few outstanding issues that had

to be dealt with. Those issues are the installation of an improved alarm system that will call out when water is detected, and the modification of the hand-rail on the stairway that will allow for safe exit in a flood emergency. He also said that the City would have a decision to make considering the current labour situation.

The search for Fire department should have been dispatched, RDEK says Pokemon comes to Kimberley C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Last week the Bulletin reported on concerns from Kimberley resident Orin Hoglund regarding a 911 call he placed that didn’t get the response he was hoping for.

Hoglund said he reported a vehicle fire near the Elko sawmill on July 5, 2016.

“I called 911 and told them what I saw. They asked me the location, I said about five kilometres from Elko. I didn’t know which fire de-

partment was closer, Elko or Baynes Lake but I said probably Elko. They asked me if I knew the name of the road. I wasn’t sure. I know the local name for it. She (911 operator) said is there potential for a forest fire? I said there are flames six feet high, you tell me.”

Hoglund told the Bulletin he was surprised to find out later that the fire was not responded to by either of the fire departments.

No fire department responded to this vehicle fire near Elko.

Kimberley RCMP Operations NCO Cpl. Chris Newel reports that Kimberley RCMP received a call at 4 a.m. Thursday, July 21 about three suspicious youths.

“Police attended and located the fourteen year old Pokemon Go Hunters! They had not committed an offence and cooperated with police

but the caller was concerned about what they may have been up to. “ The situation certainly warranted a call, Newel says, and police were thankful that they were able to locate the young boys and clarify what they were up to.

Apparently they were headed home as their cell phones were dying.

The parents have been notified.

Frocks and Folks on Bikes FOR THE TOWNSMAN

For the third year in a row, in celebration of Kimberley’s first Saturday events, a group of Kimberly residents and out of town friends have taken a colourful ride around the Platz and through town on their bicycles.

Suitably named, ‘Frocks and Folks on Bikes’ carry buckets on their decorated cycles for locals and visitors to make donations in support of Kootenay Haven Transition House.

This year’s event, July 2nd, $703.00 was raised through the generous donations of people enjoying the joyous occasions in the platzl and around town. One hundred percent of the donation goes directly to the needs of Kootenay Haven.

Frocks and Folks are thankful to First Saturday’s organizer Carol Fergus for the opportunity to hold this yearly fundraiser. For more information about Kootenay Haven call 250426-4887.

Military Ames raises $4000 at JulyFest C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Military Ames’ first big fundraiser was a big success, as the veteran’s group raised over $4,000 at their JulyFest flea market in the Kootenay Savings parking lot.

And above what was raised at the flea market, some very nice monetary donations were also received, says group facilitator Cindy Postnikoff.

“The public came out and really supported us,” she said.

“And, we won first place for our float! What a day! The vets had a real good time chatting it up with folks and there was a real interest/awareness about the new cenotaph and Veteran Memorial Park.”

Postnikoff says Military Ames extends sincere gratitude to Pat and Shirley Rossi who worked hard to make the weekend a success.

“Also, thank you to the Koots Girls, Janet and Wendy, the Credit Union, the Elks and the nice folks who donated items to the sale. We couldn’t have done it without you.”

Military Ames is a group that provides support and camaraderie to military vets and it’s also the driving force behind the moving of the cenotaph to the new Veterans’ Memorial Park in downtown Kimberly. A grant from Veterans Affairs has been received to help with costs of the park but there is still much fundraising to be done to bring it to a reality.

Fire department should have been dispatched, RDEK says From Page 1 RDEK Emergency Services Coordinator Travis Abbey followed up on the complaint and says the RDEK has identified and corrected an issue with dispatch terminology.

“We had a resident contact one of our South Country Rural Fire Departments recently after he called to report a vehicle fire on a rural road and the local fire department didn’t respond,” explains RDEK Emergency Services Coordinator Travis Abbey.

“We have a system in place to follow up on questions or concerns regarding both 9-1-1 and fire dispatch, and during the investigation into this complaint, it was discovered that there was an error in the dispatch of that call.”

The call was transferred by the dispatch centre to the BC Wildfire Service’s Southeast Fire Centre as it was interpreted to be

outside the fire protection area.

While RCMP responded to the vehicle fire to monitor the situation, the BC Wildfire Service did not dispatch a crew as the fire was isolated and not in danger of spreading. Through follow-up on the inquiry, it was determined the fire was actually within a fire protection area.

“We want to thank the individuals who came forward to ask about the circumstances of this particular call as it has helped us identify ways to improve the communication and dispatch terminology and ensure this situation is not repeated in the future,” adds Abbey. “In the RDEK, well over 1500 9-1-1 calls are placed every year and the vast majority of those calls are placed and handled seamlessly; however, when someone experiences an issue with 9-1-1 or fire dispatch, we need to hear from them. This is an excellent exam-

ple of how hearing about a concern can help us investigate and, if possible, put measures in place to improve the system.”

Public concerns can be directed to the RDEK’s Emergency Services Coordinator, Travis Abbey at 250-489-2791 or toll free 1-888-478-7335.

The RDEK provides 9-1-1 service to the region. The 9-1-1 service is contracted to E-Comm and callers are asked if they require police, fire or ambulance.

E-Comm’s job is to connect the caller as quickly as possible to the agency requested and remain on the line until the appropriate dispatch has answered.

Police calls are handled directly

by E-Comm, while ambulance calls are forwarded to the BC Ambulance Service Dispatch in Kamloops, and fire calls are dispatched by the fire dispatch centre in Kelowna.

Pool set to re-open From page 1 However, Sommerville confirmed Wednesday that the pool will be filled regardless of the labour situation.

“Work to replace the electrical panels and pumps has recently been completed by a flood restoration company, and an engineer was onsite on July 19th to make final recommendations to ensure that the water main will not fail in the future. The insurance adjuster has given their approval to carry out the remaining work, so City staff will make modifications to the restraints and deal

with corrosion that led to the initial flood,” the release says.

Once the work on the outstanding issues is complete, the pool will be filled, leak-tested and commissioned to meet insurance requirements.

The problem began on April 21 when corroded restraints broke and allowed the six inch water man to shift, filling the Electrical/Pump room in the basement of the Kimberley Aquatic Centre to the ceiling within minutes.

Damage was estimated at $200,000 by the insurance company.

Bugle Band tryouts FOR THE TOWNSMAN

SUBMITTED PHOTO

2 local Highland Dancers will be participating in the Okanagan Military Tattoo to be held this weekend in Vernon. Hannah Boulton and Jordyn Walker , both students of Liela Cooper have been hard at work practicing their dances. They will meet up with 28 more dancers from around the province, practice the choreographed as a group for 2 days, then perform in two separate shows..Saturday and Sunday to an audience of 3500 for each show. The Tattoo will be a mixture of pipe bands, military bands dance troops and other entertainment....Encompassing a cast of over 300.

The Cranbrook Bugle Band has just returned from the Calgary Stampede, where they won 2nd in Junior Bands for the third year in a row. The Band that won first was the Calgary Round Up band, with 190 members on the street. Our score was actually higher than some of the bands that competed in the Senior Band category.

The Band also took part in the Showband Competition and placed 6th.

But the prize that the girls enjoyed the most was the Southland 2016 Best Band Award. In the years past, we have not been eligible for this award as we have always had our own bus to use in Calgary. This year we did not, so we used Southland Transportation. The criteria for winning this award is based on the band’s politeness, their cleanliness and the respect they show for the bus

and driver. There was several bands using Southland so it was great to win this award which besides the trophy also had a cash award of $500.00.

At this time The Bugle Band has 12 members, but there are two members that have graduated so they will be leaving this Sept.

This means that we have room for more members to join. So we are offering the opportunity to youths from the ages of 12 – 18 to come and see what we are all about. This opportunity will be

Wednesday nights from 6 – 8:00 at Steeples school for six weeks starting July 27th. If interested you just need to be at the school for 5:45pm in order to be fit for practice shoes. The cost will be $10.00 and everyone that comes to these practices will have the opportunity to participate in at least one public show before school starts again. For any questions or more information, please contact Miss Pat at 250.489.0086 in the evening or email cbkbugleband@shaw.ca.

EYE ON YOUR CITY

Jet Rodding - The City will be starting a jet rodding program shortly. Jet rodding (or hydro jetting) cleans sewer pipes through the use of high-intensity water. It helps to cut through grease and debris and lessens the potential for sewer backups in the main lines. City bylaws require that backflow preventers be installed in order to prevent sewer backups and any issues that may occur due to maintenance of sewer lines. A backflow preventer allows water and materials that back up to escape from the cleanout rather than flow into a home. “Blowbacks” occur in some homes during this process. The installation of a backwater valve (backflow prevention device) will prevent blowbacks. A certified plumber will be able to suggest alternate solutions. Please ensure that your home is protected!

Water Distribution System Maintenance - In order to ensure safe drinking water and maintain the systems, the City performs regular maintenance on all facets of the distribution system. Residents may notice discoloration in the water during this process. Please note that this is not a public health concern.

The City monitors the quality of the water during this process. Maintenance operations will be underway during the next several weeks. In the event that cloudy water is experienced, turn on an outside tap (preferred) or your bathtub faucet and run until the water clears up. For further information please contact the Operations & Environment Services Department at 250.427.9660.

Cemetery Caretaking - The Parks Department kindly reminds anyone placing floral offerings on grave spaces that, except immediately after interment, the following conditions will apply: a Flowers only. Natural or artificial may be placed in grave space containers, provided the container is part of the memorial. Flowers placed on grave spaces may be removed by city staff while performing maintenance duties. Flowers will be disposed of at the discretion of city staff when the condition of the flowers is considered detrimental to the beauty of the cemetery. b Floral offerings, wreaths, or ornamental monuments may be placed at the grave space, provided they are free standing and are not staked into the ground. If they are staked into the ground, they will be removed by city staff and disposed of. c The use of wood, glass, porcelain, pottery, or other breakable containers, either above or below the ground is prohibited.

Boulevards - The Operations Department would like to remind residents that in accordance with the “City of Kimberley Streets and Traffic Bylaw No. 1877, 1995”, it is your responsibility to look after your Boulevard. A person being the owner or occupier of land shall:

10 Things You Can’t Do While Following Jesus

L

ots of people claim to follow Jesus, does, you are out. Following means you and then they do stuff which makes should imitate as closely as possible. When you wonder. Granted, I understand people who were sick or lonely or anxious that we are all fallible human beings— and needed care, Jesus gave it to them. If which means that we are all going to screw we are following Jesus, we will imitate him up at times. But my point is that you can’t as closely as possible. We will take care of deliberately do these things if you claim to everyone. Everyone.

7) Exclude people. follow Jesus’ example. Also, let me be clear Last time. I promise. Jesus was conthat this is not a complete list—but it’s not a stantly including people. It’s a little conbad place to start.

10) Exclude people because they prac- cept called love. He was pretty big on it.

6) Let people go hungry. tice another religion.

When Jesus said “Feed my sheep,” he Jesus was constantly including people, and he did it with a radical disregard for wasn’t talking about just spiritual feeding. their religion. Jesus spoke with everyone If Gandhi was right (and I suspect he was), without discriminating. He was even ac- you can’t have one without the other: cused of breaking bread with the wrong “There are people in the world so hungry, people; they said he was a glutton and that that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.” There isn’t a food shorthe broke the law because of his practice. age in the world. There is 9) Exclude people for enough for everyone. There what they look like, how they isn’t a problem with a distriwere born, or things beyond bution system capable of their control. handling it; I can eat lobster I may have mentioned Rev. Yme from Nova Scotia while lookthis already but Jesus was Woensdregt ing at the Rockies. The probconstantly including people. lem is that we aren’t very Jesus had this rebel streak in him that actually sought out folks who good at sharing.

5) Make money more important than didn’t “fit in.” People who were different, people who were marginalized, people God and God’s people.

The love of money really is the root of all whom others excluded, people who were made to feel unwanted in one way or an- sorts of evil—not money itself, but the love other held a special place in the heart, life of money. We make choices about what we and actions of Jesus. I suspect he did it be- will do with our money every day. Our cause he understood they weren’t actually choices speak louder than our words. Willdifferent at all. They were precious human ingly or not, our choices frequently hurt beings. I suspect he would have embraced the least of these and others rather than members of the LGBTQ community and help them. Sometimes, we even hurt ourselves. Because money is so important, we Muslims and poor people, for example. will shop at stores because their prices are 8) Withhold caring from people.

Did you ever play the game “Follow the cheaper even though we know their prodLeader?” If you don’t do what the leader ucts are made in sweat shops. We buy

mass–produced food because it’s cheaper than buying from the farmer down the road. We’d rather keep more of our money than pay the taxes it takes to provide for those in need. We have a money problem.

4) Judge others.

“That ‘speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye’ and ‘let the one who is without sin cast the first stone’ stuff? I meant it. Signed, Jesus.”

3) Be physically aggressive or violent.

Jesus’ message and life showed us that we are to avoid violent behavior. Find non– violent ways to seek justice. Be creative in your protests. See how Martin Luther King, Jr. and Gandhi did this, to name just a couple of folks who got the message.

2) Use the church to hurt people.

If there was anything that could tick Jesus off, it was when institutions used their power and practice to hurt or exclude people. Notice, for example, the incident of the money changers in the Temple. It was supposed to be a place of worship. So while it is true that Jesus became physically aggressive there (throwing over the tables and booths), it’s important to note that even then, he didn’t attack people. Just threw some stuff around.

1) Hate.

The one possible exception might be “hate” itself but even then hate breeds hate — so it’s best to avoid hating altogether. I have to admit I have problem tolerating people who are intolerant. But I am learning in my journey not to do it.

It’s a process of growing in love. Isn’t that what it’s all about?

The elephant is roaring this week. It’s you forget it. If you do forget, a Republican, ranting and raving, occasionally plagiariz- or Chachi, would be happy to remind you.

The most egregious example of this ing, and most of all it’s angry. The theme of this week’s convention is, ‘we hate Hillary blame Hillary philosophy is how Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort manClinton’.

The somnambulant Ben Car- journalist had realized that portions of it

were lifted directly from a speech by First Lady Michelle Obama. The irony in that is almost too delicious to believe. A Republican talking about family and traditional values they consider owned by that party, but lifting the words from a Democrat. Oh horror!

First, Manafort tried to say that the words used were common words, like bond, work, hard, dignity, word, respect.

Those are words you use all the time, he said. They just happened to fall in a particular order. Unfortunately the order was exactly the same order used by Michelle Obama. So after floating that trial balloon and having it shot down, he shifted to the Republican default - it’s all Hillary’s fault.

It’s an example of how Hillary Clinton tries to drag down women who dare to criticize her, Manafort said. See if it wasn’t for Hillary, Melania could have plagiarized without any fallout. Because certainly none of the Trump followers in Cleveland would have pointed it out. They are so used to swallowing lies whole that it likely wouldn’t even bother them. After all, Trump is the lyingest liar ever to run for President. His followers don’t care. If the lie sounds good, it’s true. And the more often you repeat the lie, the truer it gets.

And the truth is, everything is Hillary Clinton’s fault.

Just ask Chachi or the underwear model, they’ll tell you. Or Clint Eastwood, if he’s done talking to the chair.

Some hitches in the travel plans

I

f a person has great travel plans and yet lives in poverty, the conundrum might be solved by hitch-hiking. However it is a tenuous business trying to scrounge a ride but, like many others after World War 11 came to an end, I had a travel itch and so was forced into ‘bumming’ rides.

You see, I was trapped into living and working in London England and yet had this yen to get into the mountains of Britain and so was forced to sharpen my thumb and hope for the best; I did all right; I was young and resilient; I could do without sleep if necessary.

I would frequently set off from London after work, ride the underground to the outskirts of the city, find the main road and go for it.

Sometimes a little superstition would niggle at me. After an unreasonable wait at one place or other, I would tell myself that, if no ride came along in say ten more minutes, I’d hie myself to the nearest railway station and mortgage my future, but that hardly ever happened. Some kindly – or lonely – driver would pull up beside me and away I’d go.

If and when I did not reach my destination before very late at night, I would lay myself down in fields, in wayside ditches, in deserted church portals, in abandoned

army barracks and all in manner of strange places. One pleasant spot that I recall was a field in which stood a pole surmounted by a street lamp and so, beneath its light, I was able to read myself asleep.

One night, on my way to the hills of Wales and accompanied by a female acquaintance, we gave up the hope for a ride and so we made our beds on a traffic island and slept soundly until wakened by rowdy lorry (truck) drivers.

One day in the bucolic south of England, I found myself being offered a ride in a small car by the renowned actress Margaret Peter Rutherford. I had seen her Warland a few weeks before in the film Blithe Spirit and, as she bundled me and my pack into the back of her diminutive vehicle, I couldn’t help feeling that she hadn’t had much trouble playing the odd-ball clairvoyant, Madame Arcati; she was like that in real life as she, driving the narrow lanes to her destination, chatted amiably about her friend who had failed to turn up for their appointment to go camping for the weekend.

The Arch-bishop of Canterbury didn’t chat too much but asked politely of my destination, nodded, then shut the glass partition and set to writing in a note book.

As we travelled, I wondered if I might have been an inspiration for a sermon on Good

Samaritans but doubted whether Arch-bishops gave sermons.

As it was with my friends, nobody gave me any trouble when I hitch-hiked. In fact several people went out of their ways to help and one Scot, by then home from Kenya, apologized because he couldn’t get me to Glasgow that day and so offered me dinner, a separate room and then breakfast, so that I arrived well fed and rested.

My favourite ride was with my climbing friend John. We were on our way home from a week or so of mountaineering in The Highlands of Scotland when we were picked up and offered a ride in an empty charabanc (coach). We rode with sun-roof open and a radio playing modern music all the way from the Scottish borderlands to my friend’s home town in Yorkshire. We were existing on the remains of a tin of dried Ovaltine for that journey but, as they say, beggars can’t be choosers.

My lovely lady and I were on our honeymoon in the English Lake District and, finding ourselves in the wrong valley, we hitched a ride with three Australian girls in an open Roadster which, unfortunately, had a tendency not to climb hills. Before we got back to our hotel, we got more exercise than we had bargained for pushing that vehicle up hill and dale.

Husky Energy pipeline leaks oil into North Saskatchewan River C ANADIAN PRESS

MAIDSTONE, Sask. The Saskatchewan government says oil from a pipeline has spilled into the North Saskatchewan River.

The province said in an email that a breach was reported on a Husky Energy line upstream of Maidstone on Thursday morning.

It said Husky activated an emergency response team and berms were being used to contain the oil blend near the spill site. Another berm was being set up further downstream near Paynton.

Husky said it shut down the line and was working closely with neighbours and municipalities.

Husky spokesman Mel Duvall said in an email that the amount of oil spilled was still being assessed.

He said the line runs from the company’s heavy oil operations to its facilities in Lloydminster and carries oil

mixed with a diluent, which is a lighter hydrocarbon that’s added to ease the flow.

The province said an environmental protection officer had been dispatched to the site. It also said Husky, with co-operation from the province, was notifying river users downstream of the spill.

In North Battleford, which draws its water supply from the North Saskatchewan River downstream from the spill, city officials said they had been informed and were taking precautions.

Tammy MacCormack, the city’s environment manager, said it was unknown how long it would take for the flow to reach North Battleford. But water samples were being done, she said, and supply intakes were to be shut if the oil spill reached the city.

“Our plan is to be shut down when it goes by,” said MacCormack.

“We will be watching the water.”

Du Toit soars in PGA debut at RBC Canadian Open Kimberley native Jared du Toit steals the show during first round of PGA Tour event at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

Kimberley native Jared du Toit is wasting no time making a name for himself on the PGA Tour stage.

Competing in his first ever PGA Tour event at the RBC Canadian Open — thanks to a tournament exemption — du Toit fired a 5-under 67 on opening day at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont., to stake out a share of second place Thursday.

The 21-year-old Arizona State University (ASU) star sits one stroke back of Seattle product Luke List, who is alone atop the 156-player leaderboard at 6-under par (as of print deadline Thursday).

“I think my start maybe surprised me a bit, there are definitely some birdie holes out there but I was birdieing a couple holes that are kind of tougher around here,” du Toit told Golf Canada Thursday.

“I fought hard all day and then finished up with a couple nice ones.”

Tied with du Toit in second place are 29-year-old Chesson Hadley (Raleigh, N.C.) and 27-year-old Kelly Kraft (Denton, Texas).

Hot on their heels are longtime PGA pros Brandt Snedeker, Brendon de Jonge, Cameron Tringle and Jerry Kelly, who share a hold of sixth place at 4-under par.

Du Toit splashed his scorecard with blue on the front nine, securing four birdies offset by only one double-bogey to hit the turn at 2-under.

After keeping a clean card on on the back nine, the Sun Devils’ phenom made his move on the final two holes of the day.

“I was pretty disappointed with myself for not birdieing 16 there,” du Toit said. “I followed that up with a very poor drive on 17.”

Facing a 436-yard par-four 17th, du Toit hit a 283-yard tee shot in the left side fairway bunker, leaving himself with a difficult 155-yard shot out of the sand to get to the green in regulation.

Long fairway bunker shots can provide a challenge even for the most experienced professionals, but du Toit made it look easy, firing a 155-yard dagger from the beach, holing out for eagle to move to 4-under par.

“My caddy gave me a good yardage and I hit a good shot,” du Toit said.

“It came out just how I wanted. I didn’t even know it went it. Someone by the green yelled, ‘It’s in!’ It was awesome.”

With momentum on his side and the clubhouse in sight, du Toit crushed a 368-yard drive — his longest of the day — off the tee at the 524-yard 18th, setting himself up with a chance to score.

definitely in the topthree rounds I’ve played in my career — just in terms of feeling wise, atmosphere.

Second-round play at the RBC Canadian Open is slated to begin Friday morning, with du Toit teeing off at 12:25 p.m. (Mountain) alongside Andrew Landry and Garrett Rank.

Other notable Canadians at the PGA Tour event include Adam Hadwin (even, T47), Graham DeLaet (1-over, T66 after nine holes), David Hearn (2-over, T96) and Mike Weir (6over, T148).

Du Toit, who is a member of the Canadian National Amateur Squad, was also joined at the prestigious event by two of his Team Canada teammates — Hugo Bernard (9-over, 154th) of Mont St-Hilaire, Que., and Blair Hamilton (5over, T145) of Burlington, Ont. The RBC Canadian Open is the third-oldest national golf championship in the world, behind only The Open Championship and U.S. Open.

After sticking his second shot, du Toit was left with a lengthy putt for eagle, ultimately leaving it just shy before tapping in for birdie to finish his day with a 5-under 67.

“It’s the first time I’ve had to sign autographs after a round, so that was awesome,” du Toit said with a smile. “It’s definitely a lot of fun. It’s

First played in 1904, the RBC Canadian Open has seen a host of phenomenal names grace its greens, with Jason Day having won the event in 2015. After 18 holes of play Thursday, Day was 3-under and in a share for ninth.

Kimberley native Jared du Toit tees off during first round action at the RBC Canadian Open Thursday morning from Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont. This year marks the 28th time the elite club has hosted the RBC Canadian Open.

The 2016 RBC Canadian Open features a prize purse of $5.9 million USD, with the winner taking home $1.062 million USD. Doug Sanders (1956) is the only amateur in history to win the RBC Canadian Championship, claiming the title at Beaconsfield Golf Club in Pointe Claire, Que. Only four Canadians have ever won the RBC Canadian Open, with Pat Fletcher (1954) being the most recent.

Charles Murray (1906 and 1911), Albert Murray (1908 and 1913) and Karl Keffer (1909 and 1914) are the only other Canadians to have won

the national title.

Broncos hire Viveiros as new head coach, director of player personnel TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The Swift Current Broncos have a new bench boss.

The Broncos announced the hiring of Emanuel Viveiros as the team’s new head coach

and director of player personnel on Thursday.

Viveiros takes over from Mark Lamb, who left his role as the club’s head coach and general manager this offseason in order to become the head coach of the Tucson Roadrunners of the

American Hockey League.

“I certainly understand how difficult it is to win in the Western Hockey League,” Viveiros said in a team release. “However, I am very impressed by the professional way this or-

ganization operates and it certainly enables the Broncos to continue to develop good young hockey players and most important, good young men.”

Viveiros spent four seasons in the WHL as a player (1982-83 to 1985-

86). Most recently, he was the head coach of Ingolstadt in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL, Germany) during the 2015-16 season. He has also served as the head coach of the Austrian men’s national hockey team (2011 to 2014).

at the Monroe Invitational in Pittsford, N.Y. In his first year of action with the Sun Devil’s NCAA golf program, du Toit secured a top-five finish at the NCAA New

Mexico Regional Championship along with four other top-10 finishes throughout the season, helping ASU to its seventh regional title in program history.

SPORTS Former Ice defenceman commits to Thunderbirds Tanner Faith joins former Kootenay Ice teammate Austin Vetterl at University of British Columbia

TAYLOR ROCC A

Former Kootenay Ice defenceman Tanner Faith has decided to pursue a post-secondary education and CIS hockey career.

The 20-year-old Faith committed to the University of British Columbia men’s hockey program Tuesday afternoon. The Thunderbirds announced the signings of Faith, along with Carter Popoff (Vancouver Giants) and Joseph Carvahlo (Prince George Cougars) via press release.

Earlier in the summer, the Thunderbirds added former Seattle Thunderbirds captain Jerret Smith.

“I chose UBC because of the school’s emphasis on academics, the strong hockey and sports programs, and having the opportunity to live in a beautiful city like Vancouver,” Faith said in the release.

A native of Wilcox, Sask., Faith was selected by the Kootenay Ice in

the second round (33rd) of the talent-laden 2010 WHL Bantam Draft and went on to play 89 regular season games with the club over the span of three injury-shortened campaigns (2012-13 to 2014-15).

The 6-foot-4, 218pound blueliner was dealt from Cranbrook ahead of his final year in the WHL. With the Ice facing a 20-year-old crunch, the former selection of the NHL’s Minnesota Wild (2014 — fifth round, 139th) was moved to the Moose Jaw Warriors in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick that eventually became a fourth-round selection at the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft.

His final campaign in the WHL ended up being one of career proportions, as Faith estab-

lished new highs in games played (59), goals (three), assists (21) and points (24).

“It continues to add to our talent level, our depth and our group of quality people,” said Adam Shell, head coach of the Thunderbirds, in the release. “These are four guys who are excellent people, students, want to be at UBC, and can play. They check off all four of the criteria.

We are looking forward to them having long careers at UBC.” Faith went unsigned by the Wild this summer, rendering him a free agent. He wasn’t the only former Ice to go unsigned this offseason after being drafted by an NHL club as the St. Louis Blues opted not to ink speedy sniper Jaedon Descheneau after selecting him at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft (fifth round, 124th).

“I think they are always surprised by the length of the schedule, even though it’s far less

Former Kootenay Ice defenceman Tanner Faith (above) has committed to the University of B.C. Thunderbirds men’s hockey program. games from the WHL,” Shell said. “The addition of the course load, living on their own, and the intensity of Canada West hockey is picked up fast by some of the guys, while others it can take a bit of time.

“As long as they find their academic wings, we will be happy. For us, it’s a long-term process.

It’s a four- or five-year plan as opposed to im-

mediate success.”

Faith joins former Kootenay Ice teammate Austin Vetterl, who joined the Thunderbirds for 2015-16. The native of Surrey went on to register nine goals and 21 points in 28 regular season games to finish third in Thunderbirds scoring during his rookie CIS campaign.

Faith isn’t the only former Ice player to de-

cide on a CIS career this offseason as Ryan Chynoweth (2013-14 to 2014-15) committed to the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns last week. It has also been reported that goaltender Wyatt Hoflin (2012-13 to 2015-16) has committed to the Mount Royal University Cougars, but the team has yet to make an official announcement.

The Thunderbirds

finished the 2015-16 campaign sixth in Canada West with a record of 11-13-4, good enough to claim the final playoff spot in the conference.

The 2016-17 Canada West men’s hockey season is set to begin Oct. 7 when Faith and the Thunderbirds visit former Ice forward Levi Cable and the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.

Looking for the angles and angels

O

K, so I’ve heard about this Pokemon Go being the latest thing in gaming. As I understand it, an AR or augmented reality program enables the player to use their phone or AR glasses to view superimposed images of Pokemon characters on the physical reality around them.

This gives them two views of “reality”, the one they walk in and the one in which Pokemon can be seen. Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody developed some SR or spiritual reality glasses?

I remember asking a small child once what she was doing as she sat on the floor in the middle of the room screwing up her face and

squinting looking all around. She told me, “I’m trying to see the angels.”

Interestingly, the first time I typed that, I misspelled angels and the phrase came out ‘trying to see the angles’; an accidental misspelling conveying truth. The innocent are always trying to see the angels, while most of the rest of us are always looking for the angles. How do we land that job, get around our boss, and make more money for entertainment, food, and fashions. Our society tells us these are the things which will make us happy. And as long as we only live in the physical world, they will, for a time, but not for eter-

nity.

After His baptism, Christ announced “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt 3:2) In Luke 17:21, Christ said “the Kingdom of heaven is among you”. Jesus spent a lot of time talking about the Kingdom of Heaven, because restoring the Kingdom was His mission.

Adam and Eve walked in the Kingdom of Heaven prior to the fall. They lost the Kingdom when they chose to experience creation apart from God. The Kingdom crumbled and fell and mankind turned against creation, man turned against man, man against woman, parents against children

and, most devastatingly, man against God. Our heart was blinded to God’s Kingdom. Jesus came to restore the Kingdom and our sight.

The Kingdom is not a promise for the future, it is here and now. Within orthodox tradition there are many stories of righteous living saints who’ve had the eyes to see the Kingdom and the angels. Scriptures tell us, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”(Hebrews 13:2) I know I am way too caught up with the daily struggle of living and moving on to the next thing. I don’t spend enough time in prayer and quiet contempla-

around me. As I love others, I love God restoring vision to the eyes of my heart and enabling me to catch glimpses of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The saints have the ability to see the Kingdom of Heaven on this earth. The only difference between them and me is their determination to set aside the things of the world and love God with all their heart, mind and spirit and their neighbours as themselves.

My linear time spent in this world is my opportunity to reclaim my innocence. Instead of focusing on my physical life, trying to maximize my pleasure and discover ways to get ahead by

tion, listening for the still small voice of the Holy Spirit and thanking God for His mercy and love.

If only I had those SR glasses. Maybe if I could see the angels and the spiritual consequences of my actions, I would be more inclined to walk the straight and narrow. I don’t have the glasses but 1 Corinthians 13 tells me how to get them.

Jesus was, and is, the embodiment of God’s love for His creation. It is because of love the Kingdom was restored. I can participate in the Kingdom of Heaven only by participating in the life of Christ and I participate in the life of Christ by loving all those

working the angles, I need to stop and look for the angels; the man asking for money, the single mom, my neighbour, any person whom God has placed in front of me.

The Kingdom of Heaven is now, its denizens are among us. We may be entertaining angels unaware. But when we love, we see them all.

Anastasia Bartlett does not play Pokemon Go as she is too busy looking for angels. She attends St. Aidan’s Orthodox Church in Cranbrook.. Pastor of St. Aidan’s, Father Andrew Applegate, can be reached at

Renowned local artist Bill Magee holding show at art gallery cowboy or rodeo figures including wheelchair cowboys, fiddlers, and pack horses but golfers, piano players and more help round out his diverse collection.

Roy’s first big show was at BC Place in 1966, where his work was recognized with awards, launching a career that has seen his work being shipped all over the world.

Roy is well known in some student circles for he has generously volunteered time at both Parkland Junior Secondary School and Mt. Baker Schools, igniting creativity in students and helping to inspire future hobbyists and artists.

We are fortunate to have Roy living in Cranbrook and look forward to having the public come and say hello to this one of a kind craftsman and artist.

Couple attacked by grizzly near Cochrane C ANADIAN PRESS

COCHRANE, Alta. - A wildlife spokesman says a grizzly bear was trying to protect her cubs when she attacked two people at a campground in the backcountry northwest of Calgary.

Fish and wildlife spokesman Brendan Cox says the bear will not be tracked down and destroyed.

Coleman Blair, whose family owns the Trapper’s Hill campground by the Ghost River, said he came upon the attack and was able to pry the bear’s jaws open.

The woman was taken to hospital and was in stable condition.

Cox says a large part of the area will be closed to recreational use until further notice.

“The sow was reacting naturally to protect her cubs,” Cox said Wednesday. “The cubs stumbled upon the pair.

Brown bear attacks woman near Canmore C ANADIAN PRESS

CANMORE, Alta. - There’s been another bear attack in southern Alberta, the second in two days.

On Wednesday evening, EMS was called to a trail in Canmore where they found a woman with injuries to her upper body.

She told first responders she had been biking with a friend when they encountered a brown bear.

When they attempted to ride away, the bear struck the young woman before it was scared away by the friend with bear spray.

The woman was taken to Canmore General Hospital in stable, non life-threatening condition.

Home-building boom expected for Fort Mac after fires

CALGARY A home-building boom in wildfire-ravaged Fort McMurray, Alta., is expected to start later this year and expand in 2017, the likes of which haven’t been seen in 20 years, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said Thursday.

“A healthy market up there was building 1,000 homes a year. I think they may have some local capacity for 500 or 600 right now so there’s going to have to be help from outside.”

Real estate tax windfall continues for B.C. TOM FLETCHER B.C. Local News

The B.C. government took in more income tax, sales tax and property transfer tax than it budgeted last year, leading to an operating surplus of $730 million for the fiscal year ended March 31.

The focus is on the government’s windfall from a hot real estate market, with property transfer tax revenue up

$468 million over the previous year, according to audited year-end figures released by Finance Minister Mike de Jong Thursday.

The current B.C. budget had forecast a decline in property transfer tax revenue this year, but de Jong said those revenues are running significantly ahead of what was expected in February.

When the B.C. legislature convenes for a rare

summer sitting next week, de Jong said there will be further indications of how the government will use its extra revenues to deal with a housing market that has become unaffordable for many people in urban areas.

The government has committed to allow Vancouver to impose a new property tax on vacant homes, in an effort to make absentee owners

sell them or offer them for rent. Victoria has indicated an interest in similar taxation power, but de Jong said changes to the Community Charter that governs cities outside Vancouver won’t happen this summer.

If there is a consensus among local governments at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention this fall that a vacant residence tax is needed, the province will likely allow it, de

Jong said. But he repeated his view that the best answer to rising home prices and a shortage of rental accommodation is to build more of them.

“Let us not make the mistake of assuming that government is going to tax our way out of the challenge people are facing when trying to buy a house,” de Jong said.

NDP leader John Horgan said B.C.’s surplus is despite a slump in resource revenues, and

Three suspects are in the custody of Nelson police today following a smash and grab of more than 12 guns and ammunition at Canadian Tire in Trail.

Trail police responded to an alarm from the store at approximately 4 a.m. Wednesday, confirmed Sgt. Darryl Orr from the Greater Trail detachment.

“When they arrived,

they found something had smashed into the glass and entry was gained to the inside of the building,” Orr explained.

Once inside, officers examined the store’s surveillance video and observed two perpetrators, believed to be young adult males, who headed straight to the firearms area.

Also caught on video was the pickup truck used in the crime, which Orr confirmed was stolen from Trail sometime earlier that night.

“We actually knew the truck was stolen before the owner did,” he added.

On Thursday the file was turned over the

Crime Reduction Unit.

While details are still pending, Orr did say that three suspects were arrested in Nelson late Wednesday or early Thursday.

The suspects were in possession of some, not all, of the stolen guns and ammunition.

“We are still seeking information, all the firearms haven’t been recovered - there’s still guns out there,” he said.

“The project will also include resurfacing five kilometres of side roads using recycled asphalt pavement. The side roads being resurfaced are Martha Road, Robinson Road, Hill Road, Givern Road, Cunliffe Road, Olivia Road, Brickers Road and the Olsen Rest Area,” said a press release issued by the province.

“Highway 3 is important from a local and

This project is part of the provincial government’s 10-year plan to improve B.C.’s transportation network, called B.C. on the Move.

Canada dispatching largest icebreaker to the North Pole MICHAEL MACDONALD Canadian Press

HALIFAX - Canada’s largest icebreaker is preparing for a critical expedition to the North Pole, marking the country’s final mission in the High Arctic before making an official claim to the barren, but strategically important area at the top of the world.

The Canadian Coast Guard Ship Louis S. St-Laurent is scheduled to leave Halifax harbour on Friday, carrying a team of international and somewhat excited scientists and high-tech gear for mapping the ocean floor.

The data collected will be used to define the outer limits of Canada’s continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean. Once the data is analyzed, a submission is expected to be presented to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf in 2018.

“This work cannot be overstated - it is fundamental to an exercise in Canadian sovereignty and to establish Canada’s last maritime boundary line,” federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Thursday as he stood on a sun-drenched jetty beside the hulking ship.

“This is especially important in the Arctic region, which is facing unprecedented change from both an economic and an ecological perspective.”

For some of the scientists on board, the trek to the pole will provide an rare opportunity to see things that have never been seen before.

“The Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean in the world but the least studied,” said MaryLynn Dickson, a director at the Geological Survey of Canada.

“From a geological perspective, any data

Cranbrook Townsman / Kimberley Bulletin

that we collect when we’re out on the ship is all new data. It’s all new knowledge that people have never seen before.

So the excitement for me and our team .... when we roll out the big maps and we’re looking at it - the excitement is palpable.”

Once at the top of the world, Dickson said she plans to get off the ship - if the ice is stable - and walk around the pole, a stroll that will effectively take her around the world and through every time zone.

When the ship made a similar voyage last year, researchers discovered five underwater volcanoes along the way, said Paola Travaglini of the Canadian Hydrographic Service.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea allows all coastal nations to extend their jurisdiction beyond 200 nautical miles as long as it can prove the boundary is a natural extension.

No less than eight countries surround the North Pole. It is the subject of competing claims, which reflect the area’s growing importance in terms of shipping lanes and potential resource extraction.

“We believe Canada has a very, very strong case that we’re prepared to make under the United Nations Law of the Sea,” LeBlanc said.

“It has to be based on something more than political bluster. It’s got to be based on science and international law.

Those two concepts come together beautifully in this mission.”

When Stephen Harper was prime minister, his Conservative government made Arctic sovereignty a top priority - and Harper made regular visits to the High Arctic.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You feel energized, yet your sixth sense might tell you to maintain a low profile. When you express your mental acumen, others stand back and listen. People are likely to be more communicative if you say less.

Tonight: You might not get that call you were waiting for.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Zero in on your priorities, and make it OK if they are all social.

The weekend is upon you. A partner might be judgmental and difficult if he or she doesn’t agree with your choices, or if you have not asked for his or her opinion. You could blow your fuse. Tonight: Hang in there.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) On some level, you have a very generous nature. If asked to take on more responsibilities, you will say “yes.” You might have been too OK with different requests, because it becomes apparent that you will have to delay your weekend. Tonight: You can blame only yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your mind wanders to yonder lands and someone at a distance. You might wonder why you have not heard from this person in a while. Seek this individual out, and if you must, show up in person. Be willing to express your caring. Tonight: Let your guard down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You finally will enter a period where you become more upbeat. Let go of concerns, and start spending more time with friends and loved ones. Decide your birthday resolutions now.

Don’t allow a child or new friend to cause you problems. Tonight: Enjoy a friendship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to others, and know what you want in the long run. A family member could be overly demanding, or he or she might cause a problem around your home. As a result, you could decide to change plans and handle this situation first. Tonight: Accept a pal’s invitation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Clear out as much as you can today; otherwise, you will have

to handle it tomorrow. You could opt to start your weekend later than you normally do. You will be pleased and might feel as if you have not a care in the world, and you rarely feel that way. Tonight: Out late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Tap into your imagination, and you will come up with a creative solution. If you keep thinking about the beach, you know what to do: Take off ASAP and relax at your favorite spot. Be aware of your budget, as it might not be as expansive as you believe it to be. Tonight: TGIF. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel pressured. This tense feeling could evolve from a judgment you are making about what others expect from you. Why not check in and find out what they really want? Take others at their word; believe them. Tonight: Head home early.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep a conversation moving.

You might not understand what others expect from you. Ask the right questions, and you’ll get some of the answers you seek.

You could be overly tired and

not thinking clearly. If so, take a nap as soon as you can. Tonight: After your nap, make plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be aware of your spending, as you could cause long-term damage. On your half-birthday, and the days around it, the planets will deliver your half-year report card. If you experience a lot of flak, make an adjustment. If not, you will receive an A! Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) There are many ways to deal with others while still maintaining your space. Someone might make it clear that he or she is upset that you won’t be joining him or her. This person has a right to be upset. Just be flattered, and know that you are valued. Tonight: Go with the flow.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Last week, I made a shocking discovery while cleaning my bedroom. My husband had several pornographic tapes that he had recorded from the adult-channel network.

We work opposite shifts and see each other only on weekends. I had no idea he was keeping this pornography in our house. We’ve been married 30 years and have always enjoyed a healthy sex life. After this discovery, I can barely stand to have him touch me.

I could never compete with the women in these tapes. I assume that when he is making love with me, he is actually thinking of all that pornography.

When I confronted him, he said he was only curious and did not mean to hurt me. I loved this man, but his “curiosity” has changed how I feel about our life together. When I am at work, I can’t help imagining that he is at home watching this stuff. I am thinking of leaving him. Our kids are grown, and I can support myself. What do you say? -- Devastated Wife Dear Devastated: We know this must have been horrifying for you, but let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.

It is not unusual for men to be interested in pornography, and it doesn’t have to destroy your marriage (provided he isn’t addicted, it doesn’t involve anything illegal or indicate a sexual orientation of which you were unaware). Most normal men do not prefer pornography to their wives. In fact, some couples watch porn together as a way of “getting in the mood.”

We suspect you are upset less about the porn and more that this was kept from you.

It’s as if your husband had a secret life, and it seems like a betrayal. Ask him to go with you for marriage counseling so you can work this out and put it behind you.

We think 30 years is worth the effort, don’t you?

Dear Annie: I am the single mother of a 20-year-old daughter who works full time and no longer lives at home.

The problem is, “Vanessa” met a divorced man 30 years her senior and has been going out with him for a year. She will only tell me his first name, so I’m not able to contact him. I would like to talk to this man and break up the relationship, but I don’t want Vanessa to turn against me.

I have tried a number of times to talk some sense into her, without success. How can I resolve this problem? -- Need Help Dear Need Help: One of the hardest things about parenting is letting your adult child make her own mistakes. Vanessa knows how you feel about her boyfriend.

Beyond that, she gets to make her own choices -- good or bad. Maybe if you back off, she’ll stop pulling in the other direction. If not, be there to pick up the pieces.

Dear Annie: This is for “Crunching Numbers in North Dakota,” who asked how it was possible for a couple to afford a wedding these days. When my wife and I became engaged, I was a poor student, and she was a low-level office clerk. Her family had no money to help, and mine was adamantly against the wedding.

We had the reception in a local American Legion hall, picked lilacs from the yards of friends and family members, served champagne in plastic cups, and had home-cooked food. It didn’t cost much, but a good time was had by all.

That was 25 years ago. It is the time, effort and love you put into the marriage, not the money you put into the reception, that makes it great. My only concern is that we have two teenage daughters, and I shudder to think of the cost of resolving any long-suppressed wedding urges my wife might be hiding. -Life is Good in Boston Dear Boston: You are the voice of reason in an age of excess. Thanks.

UBC mine engineering professor Dirk van Zyl (left) is appointed to review the Mt. Polley mine tailings dam failure by Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, August 2014.

New rules in effect for mine tailings ponds TOM FLE TCHER Black Press

The latest changes to B.C. mine regulations bring the province closer to its goal of preventing another tailings pond failure, says an independent expert who investigated the 2014 dam breach at Mt. Polley Mine.

Dirk van Zyl, professor of mining and the environment at the University of B.C. and one of three outside reviewers of the Mt. Polley failure, said the changes to B.C.’s Mining Code meet the recommendations made by engineers who examined the failure.

“These changes put B.C. in a leadership position and clearly set the groundwork for a more comprehensive approach to consistent tailings management in the province,” van Zyl said in a statement Wednesday. “It is another step towards the overall goal of moving to zero tailings storage facility failures.”

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the changes to construction, water management and inspection can’t be expected to prevent every small release of

water from a mine tailings pond in heavy rainfall. But he is confident the new regime will prevent major failures, even when unknown factors such as the weak layer under the Mt. Polley dam exist.

“Now we are prescribing a factor of safety that I think will account for the things you don’t know,” Bennett said.

Al Hoffman, B.C.’s Chief Inspector of Mines, said the new code has specific requirements for inside “beaches” to reduce pressure on the base of a tailings dam, the height of water allowed, the number of motion detectors on the dam and the frequency of inspections.

The new code requires every existing B.C. mine with a tailings pond to have an independent tailings review board in place by the end of 2016, with annual reports to be posted online.

That falls short of the recent recommendation by B.C. Auditor General Carol Bellringer that mine oversight should be independent of the mines ministry that issues permits and promotes

mining investment. Bennett said he remains convinced that the technical nature of permits with hundreds of conditions makes the people who issue them the best qualified to enforce them.

The Mt. Polley independent report concluded that a a layer of glacial till material at the base of the dam near Williams Lake wasn’t understood in enough detail when the dam was designed and built in 1997. Later raising of the dam to hold more water and tailings put pressure on the base layer and led to the failure.

The B.C. Conservation Officer Service continues its investigation of the Mt. Polley incident, and has authority to recommend charges for the environmental damage done by the failure.

The Mt. Polley dam has been repaired by owner Imperial Metals and the mine reopened, with work continuing to rebuild Hazeltine Creek and the shore of Quesnel Lake where a torrent of water and tailings poured down on Aug. 4, 2014.

ELECTROLUX CANISTER VACUUM

VANCOUVER Faced with a potential class-action lawsuit, the British Columbia government has ended its practice of deducting money from the welfare cheques of recovering addicts receiving treatment from private methadone-dispensing clinics.

Legal documents received by the plaintiff’s lawyer from the provincial government indicate the Ministry of Social Development has changed its policy and, beginning next week, will pay any additional clinic fees for affected clients on income or disability assistance.

It’s the latest devel-

opment in a legal challenge launched last November aimed at stopping the government from allowing private clinics to take $18.34 from clients’ social-assistance cheques in exchange for methadone treatment, as well as compensating those already affected by the policy.

“The government’s change of heart is (its) way of acceding to the inevitable,” said Jason Gratl, lawyer for the proposed representative plaintiff.

“In the future, the $18.34 will remain in the pockets of the most desperate, the most disadvantaged in our province” Gratl said. The question of whether

they’ll be reimbursed for the funds already taken has yet to be decided, he added.

The Ministry of Social Development could not be reached for comment.

Gratl said the program affects between 5,000 and 10,000 people and has been in place since at least 2008, meaning the overall amount of money deducted could be as much as $13 million.

The original lawsuit said private methadone clinics require clients to sign a $60 government-drafted fee agreement, which is in turn reduced by $41.66 by a government-provided supplement. The remainder is either paid

out of pocket or, in the case of those on income assistance, is drawn from the client’s monthly allowance.

An application was filed in B.C. Supreme Court last week requesting an injunction against the practice continuing while the original lawsuit worked its way through the legal system.

Raymond Fieltsch, an executive director with the Ministry of Social Development, wrote in an affidavit dated Wednesday and received by Gratl that recipients of income or disability assistance have been or will be informed that the subtractions from their cheques would cease.

Premiers say potential trade deal needs work BOB WEBER Canadian Press

WHITEHORSE - The elusive goal of interprovincial free trade remained just that Thursday afternoon as premiers struggled with “a small number” of unresolved issues.

“There are a small number of outstanding issues that are, by nature, very complex,” said Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard in Whitehorse where the premiers are gathered for their summer meeting.

“The toughest issues are always left for the end, so it’s going to be requiring more work, but I’m not giving up on the possibility of a deal while we are here.”

Couillard said a deal could go forward without consensus on the movement of wine and beer, but that wouldn’t serve interests of producers or consumers.

“For our citizens, it is something that is important,” he said.

Alberta’s Rachel Notley and Brad Wall of Saskatchewan met privately over Alberta’s recent markup on beer, but deferred the issue to officials.

“We want these issues resolved while we are here,” said Couillard, sounding less positive about the possibility than he had earlier in the day.

“It would not be useful to come out of here with these issues not re-

solved.”

The comments came at the end of a day which saw the provincial and territorial leaders take on everything from carbon pricing to legalizing marijuana to health-care funding.

Asked about recent comments from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the need for a national price on carbon, Saskatchewan’s Brad Wall bristled at the fact Trudeau made his comments before a federal-provincial working group had a chance to report on it - although Trudeau said nothing about how that price would implemented.
