Summer of labour unrest City of Kimberley will ask union members to vote on last offer C A R O LYN G R A N T

The City of Kimberley and United Steelworkers Local 1-405 made one more attempt at mediation this past Tuesday, August 9 but were unable to reach an agreement. Both sides of the labour dispute put out press releases this week. The union release stated that talks

G DININ K C E W D A VIE WITH

had stalled and no new talks were scheduled.

City of Kimberley CAO Scott Sommerville said in his release that the City has asked for a vote by the employees to accept or reject the City’s last offer.

“If the employees’ vote favours acceptance of the last

offer, the terms of the last offer will become the new collective agreement between the parties. The City will be providing copies of the complete offer directly to the employees, with a provincially-supervised election process to follow.”

Company investigating solar project potential T R E V O R C R AW L E Y

A company is looking at securing a five-year investigative license to assess the potential for development of a solar energy project in a few areas close to Cranbrook.

The RDEK approved an application by Innergex Solar Energy Inc to look at the potential of a solar project

on properties out near Mayook, Elko and Skookumchuk.

According to the company’s investigative plan, the goal is to assess the environmental and socio-economic feasibility of solar powered projects.

Idlewild work reprised - 103 years later “U BARRY COULTER

seful work was completed by the City Engineer,” in 1913. Now that useful work is being done again. Everything old is new again, as they say.

On Friday, August 5, 2016, the first phase of an immense job of work began at Idlewild Lake, already drawn down.

The dam, reservoir and what became a surrounding park will undergo a rejuvenation.

The original dam and spillway itself will be subject to a complete refit. The reservoir will be dredged and filled up again. And then, the forested environs will be transformed into the

best park it can be, according to the wishes of the populace.

On Friday, Barrie Mackay Contracting Ltd. began work on the south side of the reservoir with the installation of a new bypass pipe for the creek and a large containment area for the accumulated silt to be held. This was exactly the same job which was done — to much satisfaction all ‘round — 103 years ago.

In 1913, the “Prospector” newspaper kept us in the know.

Back in 1913, the City Engineer has certain obstacles to overcome, the newspaper reported. First was the keeping up of a contin-

uous supply of water for domestic purposes, as well as a pressure supply for fire requirements.

The City Engineer had a temporary dam built, just above the reservoir, where the waters of Joseph Creek entered.

He also had an 18-inch pipe laid from the intake of the regular water mains to the temporary dam. The Prospector remarked that this operation was carefully and successfully done.

Repairing the dam thus began. The dam face was covered with two-and-a-half-inch sheathing, which was thoroughly caulked, then covered with sheet iron, soldered at every point to prevent water from percolating on through the dam.

After the dam and spillway had been prepared, it was found that a very heavy sediment had collected in the reservoir — three feet to three-and-a-half feet deep. The silt — some 2,000 tons — was removed.

The mains were flushed out, and the people of Cranbrook rejoiced in the new purity of their water, and the increased pressure for firefighting purposes.

The Prospector of-

fered congratulations to Mayor and Council — and announced that the water of Cranbrook was second to none in B.C. In 2016, work on the dam will include strengthening the structure and increasing the downstream and upstream slopes. The spillway will be replaced to

allow for a higher capacity flow.

The drawn-down lake will now be dredged, and stocks of fish, turtles and others who call the lake home are in the process of being relocated to other suitable habitats.

The dam work is expected to be done by the

end of this year, with upgrades to the surrounding park set for 2017.

And once again, the people of Cranbrook will rejoice in the purity of their water, and congratulations offered all ‘round.

Olympians getting help from the stands

S

tephen Schalk didn’t think his Olympic experience would include being on his back in the stands getting roughed up at a beach volleyball match.

But the young dentist who grew up in Cranbrook admitted it was mostly his fault, after he tried to catch a volleyball thrown to him by Chaim Schalk, his cousin and one half of the Canadian men’s beach volleyball team, and fell down two rows onto some Brazilian fans.

“I think they were mad that Brazil had lost more than anything else, but I got kicked and punched a couple times,” Schalk said. “Obviously, I’m in the wrong too, because I was a little bit overeager trying to get the ball because I wanted to give it to my uncle Stan—Chaim’s father— but really, in the grand scheme of it, I bumped maybe one lady as I fell and the other ones I didn’t really hit.

“I did way more damage to myself than anyone else.”

He had to sacrifice the ball to get out of situation, as a smaller group of Brazilians helped him to his feet and out of the the crowd.

“This was just passions flaring up, I mean, we had our own incidents in Vancouver where we looked just as bad, if not worse, so a

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Stephen Schalk brings his “Eh” Game to the Rio Olympics few punches to the shoulder and little taps with the kicks isn’t the worst in the world.”

Schalk was there to support his cousin, Chaim and teammate Ben Saxton, who had just beaten the Brazilian home due of Evandro Goncalves Oliveira Junior and Pedro Solberg, erasing a one-set deficit to tie it up and win the final tiebreaker.

Keep an eye on the CBC broadcasts and you might see Schalk in the stands. After all, it’s kind of hard to miss someone wearing a red and white unitard while waving around the Canadian flag and screaming at the top of his lungs.

He’s had his hands full, catching as many events with Canadian athletes as possible, but he’s having trouble finding a schedule or using Google because everything is in Portuguese.

That’s where Kevin Ross, a friend also originally from Cranbrook, now living in California, steps in to help out.

“Kevin hasn’t been doing any work so, he’s just been feeding me info, telling me where to go, what to do,” Schalk

said. “He’s like, ‘At 3 p.m. your time, you should be at this event’.

“And then I’m on the ground thinking, ‘Okay, it’s going to take me an hour and a half, I need to transfer three buses, pick up an Uber, then we’ll be there two minutes beforehand. Let’s run!’”

Back in Grande Prairie, where he now resides and has his dental practice —West Grande Prairie Dental — set up, another friend is also using a PVR to record all the events so that they can save any footage that has Schalk in the crowd shots. Schalk also made a point of thanking his patients for their support in his Olympic travels.

In addition to catching his cousin on the beach, Schalk and his travelling partner Arash Ravanbakhsh have also caught a few other events with Canadian athletes, including being present when Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion captured their bronze medal in the 10-metre synchronized diving event. “[It was] very, very cool,” Schalk said.

“Chills.”

The Canadians needed to beat the North Ko-

well, all things being considered,” Schalk said.

“People are getting into events, transit is happening, safety is good. So even though the media portrays a lot of the negative things that occur, overall, I don’t think it’s as bad as it’s made out to be and you need to expect that.

“We have cushy lives

in North America where everything runs smoothly and almost perfectly every time, but for the majority of the world, that’s not the case.”

The only thing that Schalk had trouble with during his fan experience thus far was two pieces of fan gear he brought that are as Canadian as it gets.

“I travelled around northern Brazil for two weeks with a hockey helmet and gloves to bring to my first event and when I got there, they confiscated them,” Schalk said.

“I was all decked out in a hockey helmet and gloves, ready to go support, but did not make it through security.”

reans to vault into third place, which they did, with the Canadian diving team coming over to the stands where Schalk and the Canadian fan contingent were cheering to celebrate.

After the medal ceremony, Benfeito and Filon also made their way over to join their diving teammates.

“I took my flag and just threw it in a ball as hard as I could down to them and they caught it and then they started going around the stadium with my flag, showing off the flag and celebrating,” Schalk said. “It was just so cool.”

One event he has his eye on is making sure he gets into the 100-metre dash so he can support Andre de Grasse, a Canadian sprinter who is making a name for himself in the track disciplines.

“He’s very strong and I think he did very well at the last World Championships, so I’d like to go,” Schalk said. “It would be so cool to go to that, to see and experience it, especially if there’s a Canadian in it. That’s the pinnacle of sports for the Summer Olympics.”

Being on the ground, Schalk admits that the Games are going as well as he expected and doesn’t carry the gloom and doom narrative that was being cultivated by the media. While there have been hiccups here and there, in terms of transit and admission into events, there hasn’t been anything unexpected.

Kimberley will ask members to vote on last offer CONTINUED from page 1 Jeff Bromley, 1-405 Negotiator says the City is within its rights to ask for the vote.

“Under the B.C. Labour Code, Section 78, the employer has one time they can go to the

membership on a final offer or best offer vote,” Bromley said Wednesday. “We caught wind of it last night. The committee expected it but we still have to agree on a date for the

vote.

“They have the right to do that but that doesn’t change our opinion of the last offer.

We don’t think that will change with the membership either.”

Bromley says the negotiating committee will meet with membership before the vote but he doesn’t know the timing yet.

“It’s the middle of the holiday season. A lot of people are away,

but I’m thinking it will take place in the next couple of weeks,” he said.

In the meantime, nothing else will happen.

“They’ve applied for Section 78, so nothing happens until the vote happens,” Bromley said.

“We’re going to advise our membership reject the offer.”

Mayor Don McCormick said he hoped members would feel

differently and take a good look at the City’s offer.

“We are trying to find a solution for both the city and the union employees,” he said. “Everyone is going to get an increase in both wages and benefits. We believe it’s a very fair offer for the employees and that they are going to like it.”

The reality is, the Mayor says, that there are clauses in the cur-

Green tea which comes from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis is packed full of antioxidants –one of the most potent being epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Black tea also comes from the leaves of the same plant but the difference in taste and health benefits comes from the way it is processed. Black tea leaves are more processed and fermented which causes loss of antioxidants whereas green tea leaves are only lightly steamed. Green tea has much less caffeine per cup than coffee and this lower caffeine content is needed to help with the absorption and health benefits achieved from the EGCG. Decaffeinated green tea most likely has much less of a health benefit and may even be harmful depending on how the caffeine has been extracted (note: this is typically done with chemicals.)

Health benefits of green tea extract (EGCG) include: •Increased metabolism and weight loss •Anti-cancer •Acne treatment •Lower cardiovascular risk by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure •Lower neurodegenerative disorder risk including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s •Prevention of Type 2 diabetes by lowering blood sugar It is important to note that the research done for weight loss found that EGCG was more effective when applied with a healthy diet/lifestyle including a whole foods diet and exercise. In a recent study daily green tea consumption, even just 1 cup per day, was found to be significantly associated with a lower risk of death from any cause. Overall, adding in 1-3 cups of organic green tea (sencha or gunpowder) to your daily routine may have tremendous health benefits.

The Japanese tend to have the longest average lifespan in the world and this may be in part due to their high amount of green tea consumption. A high dose supplement of green tea extract typically contains the same amount of EGCG as drinking 10 cups of green tea. Unfortunately, not all EGCG supplements are the same as far as quality goes and it really can depend where the original green tea was harvested from and what type of green tea it is from.

We like to recommend EGCG that has been sourced from Japanese Sencha leaves.

If the investigation yields favourable results, the proposed project will consist of solar panels, access roads, a switchyard and a transmission line to the point of interconnection with the BC Hydro electricity grid.

According to a letter submitted by the company to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the intent is to eventually submit the projects into a future BC Hydro call for tenders to provide power.

“Innergex is interest-

ed in the area near Kimberley/Cranbrook due to the solar irradiation potential in this area,” reads the letter. “We have recently identified 5 potential solar project sites on Crown land in this area and submitted Investigative Licence tenure applications to the Province.”

The letter addresses a hypothetical example that the maximum project capacity that can be done for a BC Hydro program is 15 MW, which would carry a footprint of roughly 40 hectares.

Be prepared to stop Education ministry offers - at 6th Street North new school bus funds

New Traffic Controller & Cameras for Victoria Avenue & 6th Street North Intersection Monday For the Townsman

Replacement of the traffic controller and the installation of traffic cameras at the intersection of 6th Street North and Victoria Avenue in Cranbrook will take place Monday, Aug. 15.

Public Works will begin the work Monday morning by blacking out the existing traffic lights and installing temporary 4 way stop signs.

It is the responsibility of all drivers to obey and understand all signage and signals during this project. Before the new signals are operational, there will be a testing phase which will put the signals into a four way flashing red situation.

It is important to recognize that four way flashing red lights at an intersection means drivers MUST treat the intersection as a regular four way stop and only proceed once it is safe to do so. Do not proceed on a solid red traffic signal light.

As the system is placed into normal intersection operation, there is a 60 to 80 second controller cycle thru procedure. This procedure has created some near misses in the past where drivers completely ignore the signals.

Coroner identifies Elk Valley accident victim The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died after a motorcycle incident near Elkford on Aug. 3.

He was Sean Dale Buday, aged 47, of Castlegar.

Mr. Buday was driving a northbound motorcycle that went out of control and tumbled into the ditch on Highway 43, 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 3. Mr. Buday was deceased at the scene.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate this death.

B.C. school districts have until Sept. 30 to apply for a new $14.7 million fund to assist with student bus service.

Education Minister Mike Bernier announced the fund Wednesday. It requires districts to submit a plan on how the money will be used to “boost transportation services,” by adding new routes, improving disability access and bus stops or improving access to public transit.

But the criteria also include “funding existing transportation services and inviting the savings into enhanced student services,” according to the ministry statement. That would make the grant effectively part of the district’s general revenue.

The school bus funding formula is weighted towards districts with large rural areas. Cranbrook’s School District 5 (Southeast Kootenay) is eligible for $361,459. School District 6 (Rocky Mountain) is eligible for $369,399. Cariboo-Chilcotin is eligible for the largest amount at $739,024, followed by Prince George at $687,663, Kamloops-Thompson at $666,817, Central Okanagan at

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Silverthorne is also a substitute teacher.

Sounds like just the type of quality guy you want instructing your children and/ or leading your city. And just in case you think I only award medals for nincompoops to Republicans, Silverthorne is a Democrat.

For the silver medal, Mayor Anthony Silva of Stockton, California has been charged with eavesdropping, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, providing alcohol to a minor and cruelty to a child by endangering health. It apparently occurred at a youth camp and Silva was alleged to be engaged in activities such as playing strip poker with some of the youth.

Silva is denying the charges and his lawyer says the timing of the evidence coming to light now is suspicious as Silva is facing re-election this fall. Silva had the chutzpah to return to chair a Council meeting and reports are, his reception was mixed.

OPINION/EVENTS

Going gaga, and then some “Strangely, I had great thoughts for this essay but they seem to have dissipated.”

Samuel Pepys 1704.

O

ver the years I have been forced to watch all sorts of people that I have liked go gaga. I recall distinctly wandering over to an old skiing friend in the ski lodge and chattering about something or other of little consequence then realizing that the poor guy had no idea who I was or what on earth I was talking about. He died only a short time later.

Someone mentioned Alzheimer’s, something I hadn’t heard of before.

Some years after that I saw a couple that I knew out for a walk but the man was striding ahead and his wife tailing helplessly afterwards. That man didn’t last much longer either.

When you live with a person for many years it is difficult to spot changes in the other’s mind and behaviour. I knew things were going hay-wire with my lovely wife some ten years before she died but it was close friends who really noticed what was happening before I did. When I finally got her to a specialist, I begged him not to mention Alzheimer’s because my sweetheart had heard the word and was frightened by it, but that, apparently, is what it

was that finally took her away from me.

The next few years were hellish because, even though I was able to care for her at home, I was unable to leave her alone and, when we sat together, there were times when she had absolutely no idea who I was. For hours in the evening we’d sit and wait for her husband to come home.

Jimmy died four years ago and I am positive it was a great release for both of us.

But now I sometimes fret about myself.

Am I too going gaga? And if I am, will anyone have the decency to inform me?

For example, I found myself this morning – I Peter wasn’t actually lost alWarland though several older ladies recently have found it to be their beholden duties to set me on the right path – I was out in the garden trimming the grass around my pool and fountain and I was using a pair of Staysharp kitchen scissors for the job and so I asked myself what the heck I was doing. Was this it? Was I slipping over the edge into dementia? Was I going bonkers?

But, before my neighbour could saunter over and question my behaviour and I’d be forced to explain, I worked it out. I couldn’t use my lawn-mower for the task because of the surrounding rocks. I

couldn’t utilize my new weed-whacker because that would strew grass cuttings willy-nilly into the pool and then I’d be forced to clean it, and the garden sheers just won’t work out of sheer cussedness.

So, in the bright sunlight, I reasoned that I wasn’t going balmy; I was being practical. This thought took a huge weight off my shrivelling brain.

And then I recalled that, although I still can’t remember people’s names for more than a minute or two and that my speed at solving Sudokus is slowing daily, lying in my bed the other morning, I had worked out why my a/c hadn’t been working, resolutely got myself dressed and I’d fixed the stupid thing all on my own. So something is still ticking away up there in my cerebellum or wherever it is that thinks occur.

But this getting older and falling apart so quickly can be worrisome so I made my editor promise to tell me if I was going completely gaga but, so far, he’s not said a word. So I just hope that one of my children or grand-kids will tell me when I am completely potty. I’d really like to know. So far, stony silence. However, good friends do look at me askance on far too many occasions.

P.S. To that fellow that I failed to recognize the other day and whose name I’ve already forgotten: Do I really owe you twenty dollars U.S.?

Vladimir Putin’s new dear friend

T

here was more than a hint of groveling in Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan’s approach to his new “dear friend”, Russian President Vladimir Putin.

First came Erdogan’s carefully worded apology in June for ambushing and shooting down a Russian plane on the Syrian border last November. The Turkish economy was reeling under the ban on trade and tourism that Moscow had imposed after that ill-considered outrage, and Erdogan was trying (unsuccessfully, at that point) to get it lifted.

Then came the attempted military coup in Turkey on 15-16 July, when the Turkish president realised that he didn’t have a friend left in the world apart from Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The US goverment almost certainly wasn’t behind the coup, but it was clear that it wouldn’t have minded terribly if Erdogan had been overthrown. Neither would the European Union or NATO, Turkey’s most important alliance.

All the governments of Turkey’s Middle Eastern neighbours, Iran, Iraq and Syria, see Erdogan as an enemy, and so does about half of his own population. (His fiercely pro-religious domestic policies have split Turkey right down the middle.)

He is involved in an unwinnable war with Turkey’s own Kurdish minority, and the rebels he backed in Syria are losing the war there. This is a man desperately in need of friends.

Erdogan has only himself to blame for his isolation. It was his Sunni religious enthusiasm, not Turkish national interest, that led him to back the Syrian revolt aimed at overthrowing Bashar al-Assad, an Alawite (non-Sunni) leader. He kept the Turkish-Syrian border open to supply

the Syrian rebels, including Islamic State and the local affiliate of al-Qaeda, thereby alienating the Western countries that are Turkey’s main allies.

Last July he re-started a war against Turkey’s big Kurdish minority, breaking a two-year ceasefire, in order to appeal to right-wing Turkish nationalists and win a close election. He has also bombed and shelled the Syrian Kurds along Turkey’s southern border, who are America’s most important allies in the ground war against Islamic State. And he deliberately shot down a Russian bomber because Russia was helping Assad survive.

In other words, Erdogan is an impulsive short-term thinker with no grand strategy who has put Turkey and himself in a very difficult position.

That’s why he had to fly to Gwynne St. Petersburg this week to visit his “dear friend” Putin Dyer — who, of course, greeted him with open arms.

Putin is always happy to score points against the West, and Turkey has Nato’s second-biggest army (although half its generals have just been jailed or dishonourably discharged). Restoring trade ties will help Russia too (although Turkey was hurting much more). But Erdogan was the supplicant here — so what will be the price of his “friendship” with Putin?

First and foremost, it will be an end to Turkish support for the Syrian rebels. No more missiles smuggled across the border from Turkey to shoot down Russian helicopters, and indeed no more arms, money or recruits crossing the border at all, particularly for the fanatics of Islamic State and the al-Qaeda affiliate (currently trading as Fateh al-Sham) who are doing most of the fighting against Assad’s regime.

At a slightly later date, Erdogan will be

expected to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the revolt’s main Arab backers, and re-open contacts with the Assad regime. In the long run, Moscow hopes, the result will be a decisive Assad victory in the Syrian civil war. Even a month ago that seemed improbable, but Turkey is the only route by which money and weapons from the Arab Gulf states can reach the rebels.

There is inevitably a flutter of concern in Washington about this new “Turkish-Russian axis”, but none of the likely consequences in the Middle East will damage American strategic interests.

Washington hawks still insist that the United States can destroy both the extreme Islamists AND the Assad regime, but the realists in the US military and the Obama administration now accept that Assad’s survival is the lesser evil.

And the hawks in Washington need not worry about NATO’s future: Turkey and Russia are not getting married. They are just getting into bed together for a while, until Erdogan feels less threatened.

Turkey’s fundamental strategy for the past two centuries, under sultans, elected governments and occasional military regimes alike, has been to have a powerful foreign ally to counter-balance the permanent threat from the great Russian power to its north.

For the past fifty-two years that powerful foreign ally has been the United States, and by extension the NATO alliance that America leads. The geopolitical calculations that drew Turkey into that alliance have not changed. Erdogan is not planning to break his country’s strategic ties with the US, and the humble pie he is being forced to eat may hasten an end to the killing in Syria.

The Warrior Arts

Arnis stick-fighting: Enhancing the empty hand J O E L H UNC AR

O

ne of the questions I get asked the most about arnis is a simple one; “why do you train in stick fighting?”

The reason many people ask about this is that there are many misconceptions about arnis and the use of the stick in the Filipino Martial Arts. Most people see it as simply a stick fighting art that practices a weapon system that has little or nothing to do with modern self-protection.

This literal idea that training with the stick is the same as fighting with the stick is simply not true.

While I won’t deny that most Arnisadors are fantastic stick fighting; however the stick training in arnis goes much deeper than simply fighting with a stick.

In arnis and eskrima the stick is the first phase of training. Fighters learn the stick, the knife, paired weapons; some styles teach long weapons and all systems teach devastating empty hand techniques.

The reason for this learning model was simple; arnis is a system of self-protection, not a sport art or spiritual system, as such the weapons fighting was taught first. After all, you don’t go into battle unarmed when it comes to defending your family against bandits and raiders.

Most battlefield arts teach weapons first and empty hand last, simply because empty hand fighting is a last resort in a real life and death struggle.

Unfortunately in the days of seminar instruction a lot of the basics of arnis was taught to the public but many only scratched the surface and began teaching “arnis sticks” as an add on to their base martial arts. The sticks were simply another weapon like the staff, the sword or the nunchaku. These practitioners did not feel the need to learn deeper because in their minds they already had all the empty hand skills they needed. But most understood that the use

of the stick was enhancing the empty hand skills they already had.

Arnis stick training develops much more in an arnisador than simple stick fighting skills.

One of the other amazing gifts this art gives is the ability to use improvised weapons.

Understanding how to generate power, angles of attack and how to move with a weapon can make many everyday objects into tools for self-preservation.

“Most battlefield arts teach weapons first and empty hand last, simply because empty hand fighting is a last resort in a real life and death struggle.”

The stick training in arnis really teaches adaptability and creativity when it comes to persona-protection and paves the way for other weapons use such as the sword or the knife.

The training in stick fighting really does a lot for a martial artist speed and coordination.

Paired weapons help other martial artist use both hands independently as does the integration of the empty hand in single stick practices. Stick training hardwires reactions to angles of attacks as opposed to learning specific techniques to defend against specific attacks.

Basic arnis training was key to becoming a freer and creative fighter for many martial artists deeply entrenched in other traditions. However, few of these martial arts cross trainers ever delved deeply into the empty hand or edged weapon training of arnis, satisfied as they were for having their base arts enhanced by some basic stick training.

What many of them were missing out on was some of the most effective and unique empty hand training taught in modern martial arts. To

see the cinematic versions of these brutal arts you simply have to watch any of the Bourne movies, the last few Denzel Washington action movies, or any of the Taken series. The flow and brutality of Filipino empty hand training definitely looks great on the screen but is even better suited for surviving real world violence. Many military knife systems are based on arnis principals and even Israeli krav maga knife training is based on Filipino knife training.

The empty hand arnis skills are designed to cause pain and damage with every move.

Moves with the blade become destructive counter attacks with the elbow. Arnis empty hands techniques are designed to immobilize, control, trap and destroy another human being. There is no sport applications to these moves — after all, things like eye gouging and digit breaking is banned in even the most extreme sport fighting, for obvious reasons. However, these moves are part of the basic tactics of arnis self-defence training.

These techniques used in action movies look deadly, but the real mano-a- mano skills are much more effective and less flashy than those favoured in entertainment. These skills teach the ability to be destructive and flow from weapons to empty hands, striking to trapping and clinching; arnis is one of the broadest skillsets you will find being taught in traditional martial arts.

The fluidity and brutality of arnis mano mano is a lot of fun to train and very empowering to have in your back pocket if you ever find yourself in a bad situation.

Your stick may not be with you at the time but your skills always are as long as you work at keeping them sharp.

Senior Men’s Baseball is back in Cranbrook and Kimberley, and the rivalry is heating up. Tuesday, August 9, the Kimberley A’s and the Cranbrook Sox went head to head at Coronation Ballpark in Kimberley, and the A’s came out on top. Cranbrook took a 3-0 lead in the first inning, but the A’s rallied and built a big 9-3 lead. The Sox threatened throughout, with aggressive baserunning, and made it 9-4 before the light began to fade in the seventh inning. But it was official, and now Cranbrook is looking for revenge when the two teams next meet in Cranbrook, at Confederation Park, Tuesday, August 16. Game time 6:30 p.m. Both teams are comprised of many former players of the Cranbrook Bandits. So come out and take in some baseball action played in great baseball weather.

A Passionate Progressive Christian Revival

L

et me pose a question: if the only Christian you ever heard in the public sphere was someone like Pat Robertson, who claims for example that natural disasters are God’s punishment, what would you think of Christianity? If that’s all you heard, would you want to have anything to do with Christian faith?

The problem is that for most people who have not grown up in a church, Robertson and other Christian leaders and preachers like him are the only ones they know. They denounce the theory of evolution; they deny any evidence of global climate change; they claim that God hates homosexuals and lesbians; and so on.

There are other, more progressive and moderate Christians around, but we seldom get a hearing in the public sphere. There is a growing number of people who know that Christian faith is not about negativity, but about compassion and joy and grace. We don’t agree on all the details … but we agree that moderate voices need to be heard clearly and loudly to counter some of the hatred we hear in the name of God. I recently read on a blog that given the current religious climate in North America, it is time for a 21st century revival of moderates and progressives. Yes, I said a revival!

That got me to

Rev. Yme Woensdregt

thinking. Progressive Christians need to become more passionate in getting our message out in the public sphere. I tend to be a hopeful person. It’s time for us to move forward, to speak out with our moderate, positive, creative message.

We see the negative stuff most clearly in the growing religious storm in the United States: racist and homophobic epithets; death threats directed towards politicians who disagree with the religious right; the rise of Christian militia groups. I’ve written before in this column about some of the worst excesses. The scary thing is that it’s becoming increasingly common in Canada too.

Some of this is not new, but the volume is increasing. It has virtually drowned out the voices of progressive and moderate Christians in the public sphere and on cable television news.

So let me say some of what progressive and moderate Christians believe.

The universe is four-

teen billion years old, and evolution is completely compatible with faith in God. Humankind isn’t necessarily the centre of God’s plan. Other species matter as well.

The whole earth matters, and Christians are interested in saving the earth.

God treasures variety — ethnic, sexual, cultural and religious variety.

The bible is inspired, but it is not infallible. It is not God’s direct communication with human beings. Rather these writings (and the

Bible is a library of books rather than a single book) reflect the different contexts and times in which they were written—a cultural and historical context which is dramatically different from ours.

The bible supports an ethic of social concern. It is not about how to get to heaven when we die. It is about how we live here and now on this earth. Faith cares deeply about how we treat one another, and especially how we treat the most vulnerable in our society.

not at odds with science, nor does it ignore the reality of human experience.

Christian faith knows that God loves diversity, cherishes multiplicity and encourages creativity.

This progressive and moderate form of Christian faith is hopeful, gracious, and compassionate. It celebrates diversity as one of God’s good gifts.

Truly, it is good news and deserves to be heard.

fact, women are recorded as being the first preachers of the resurrection in the gospels. They are the first messengers of new life.

Christianity is a diverse and multi–faceted faith. People of faith can have serious questions about their beliefs, and persons can disagree without hating one another.

There is much more.

But let me suggest that this is good news for our world. Christians who hate and denounce others betray Jesus’ command to love. Christian faith is

People of other faiths also have a relationship with God, and we can learn from each other.

Progressives pray and have an intense spiritual life. We believe God is active in our world, and moves through human beings.

God wants us to be free, creative and adventurous in our life and our faith.

God does not cause tsunamis or hurricanes or cancer or any other so–called “act of God”.

Jesus had women followers, and their gifts were honoured. In

Greenland shark now oldest living animal with backbone Seth Borenstein Associated Press

In the cold waters of the Arctic, a denizen of the deep lurked for centuries. Now scientists calculate that this female Greenland shark was the Earth’s oldest living animal with a backbone.

They estimated that the grey shark, part of the species named after Greenland, was born in the icy waters roughly 400 years ago, and died only recently. That conclusion puts the entire species at the top of the longevity list.

Using a novel dating technique, an international team of biologists and physicists estimated the age of 28 dead female Greenland sharks based on tissue in their eyes. Eight of the sharks were probably 200 years or older and two likely date back more than three centuries, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science.

Until now, that record holder was a bowhead whale that hit 211 years old, according to study lead author Julius Nielsen and AnAge, an animal longevity database .

The oldest of the Greenland sharks examined was nearly 16.5 feet long (5 metres) and estimated to be 392 years old when it was caught around four years ago.

But that calculation comes with a huge margin of error - plus or minus 120 years - due to the newness of the dating technique, said Nielsen, a marine biologist at the University of Copenhagen.

That means the shark was probably born sometime between 1500 and 1740 with the most likely birth year 1620.

Even at the lowest end of the margin error, the shark would have been 272 years old when it died, and still would be the longest-living animal with a backbone, Nielsen said. Other experts agreed.

ger. An ocean quahog, a clam, lived 507 years and two different types of sponges are said to survive for 15,000 and 1,500 years.

Top 10 longest living critters Here are the animals that the scientific longevity database AnAge says have lived the longest.

Many of these live in the cold and in water. The longest-living human reached 122.5 years.

1. Hexactinellid sponge: One of these Antarctic sponges lived for an estimated 15,000 years.

2. Epibenthic sponge: Another Antarctic sponge that is generally estimated to live 1,550 years.

3. Ocean quahog: This clam, nicknamed “Ming,” had its rings measured and it lived 507 years.

4. Greenland shark: A new study estimates the age of one of these sharks at 392, but it could have been somewhere between 512 and 272 years old when it died.

5. Bowhead whale: One male bowhead living in the Arctic waters was estimated to be 211 years old when it died.

6. Rougheye rockfish: These red fish of the North Pacific have lived to be 205 years old and show little effects of aging in life.

7. Red sea urchin: The spiny critters also don’t seem to age much and are estimated to live about 200 years.

8. Galapagos tortoise: These slow moving creatures seen by Charles Darwin have lived as long as 177 years old.

9. Shortraker rockfish: These orange-pink fish have lived up to 157 years.

10. Aldabra tortoise and Lake sturgeon: A tortoise that died at a zoo was 152 years old; unconfirmed reports put some of these tortoises living up to 180 years. One lake sturgeon, a bottom-feeder fish, is reported to have lived to be 152.

Horoscopes

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) An overindulgent streak emerges. Tension stems from what you think might be happening or from your expectations. Understand that you have certain limits that need to be honored.

Some stress might result from a concern that you are holding on to. Tonight: Spontaneity rules.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be on top of a situation, yet you still might be surprised by what is happening. One-on-one relating could evoke a strong reaction. Your imagination knows no limits -let it roam freely. Your emotional side is likely to take over. Tonight: Call a friend or loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Let others call the shots. Just because you are more passive than you need to be doesn’t mean that you don’t have ideas worth sharing. You might feel as if your submissive side is on one side of a seesaw and your assertive side is on the other. Tonight: Go along with the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be into making your life flow in a way that is complementary to your needs and desires. Your sense of humor is likely to help you in a stiff or difficult moment. Go with the flow, and you will be much happier.

Tonight: Join some friends to greet the weekend!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Come forward and ask for what you want. Even if you get a “no,” you will find another way to get to your desired destination.

Remain easygoing with a new friend. At first, you might feel shut out, but eventually you will break past this person’s walls.

Tonight: Paint the town red.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might have your hands full at home, and could decide to take the day off. By midday, you might regret not having vacated the premises. Stay upbeat about your choices. Don’t allow a bad moment or two to ruin your day -- you are stronger than that. Tonight: Celebrate at home!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be a bit too aware that it is the end of summer. As

a result, your need to indulge is likely to emerge earlier in the day. Why not take the day off and maximize the last few weekends of freedom while you still can? Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner and drinks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use caution when dealing with a creative person in your environment. You might want to see who this person really is and witness how he or she handles various situations. Kick back and use your observation skills. You might enjoy a little distance. Tonight: Treat a friend to TGIF. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll beam in more of what you want. Even on the best of days, there is a limit to what you will and can do. You are more likely to interfere with the fruition of a long-term desire than you realize. Be aware of any negativity that emanates from you.

Tonight: Be creative.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Know that you will want to get to the bottom of a problem as quickly as possible. The less said on your part, the more successful you will be. Touch base with

various people who are always a source of positive energy. Tonight: Observe what is going on behind the scenes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will want to follow through on what you want. At the same time, you might need some time to plan a get-together with your friends. You could be flooded by calls and emails. Give up the idea of working late. The Friday mood hits early. Tonight: You take the lead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) There is a natural tone of confusion that seems to invade the day. You will need to confirm all meetings, get-togethers and statements that seem off-kilter.

A higher-up could become distant, but you know how to get him or her to open up. Tonight: Play the night away.

Dear Annie

by Annie Lane

friend hazard Dear Annie: I need advice on how to sever a guy friendship that has become increasingly difficult. We first met on the golf course and played several rounds together. Both of us enjoyed playing and talking about the game of golf.

But it soon became apparent that he has very few friends because of his attention-seeking, self-absorbed personality. He calls me on a regular basis, sometimes to discuss golf on TV and sometimes to talk about his various health issues, real and imagined.

Now that he’s given up playing golf, we have very little in common. He spouts outrageous opinions on health topics, women, racial issues and politics. He is an unabashed bigot. He obviously needs mental health counseling for low self-esteem issues. But that would be an impossibly hard sell. Is there any way that I could gently ease myself away from this well-intended but failed friendship? -- Teed Off Dear Teed: Your empathy is commendable, but you can’t save this man from himself. The next time he asks you to do something together, simply say, “No, thanks.” It may feel strange at first, but you don’t owe him any more explanation than that. You are not responsible for his emotions.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have a delightful 9-year-old grandson. He is a kind, caring, intelligent child. His parents and elders have taught him to respect everyone and to stand up for himself and others when the occasion occurs. I love him beyond words. My husband had always had a good relationship with him until recently.

A few years ago, my grandson made the decision to stop cutting his hair. His hair now reaches halfway down his back. My husband hates it. He continually tries to convince both my grandson and his father (our son) that the hair should be cut and he should get a “boy” haircut. Because he hasn’t been able to make this happen, he has started to insult and bully both my son and my grandson.

This baffles me because as a teenager, my husband had long hair. I’ve tried discussing it with my husband, but he can’t seem to see our grandson as anything but a walking, talking head of hair. It has gotten so bad that my son has suggested that we limit our time with them.

Could you suggest an approach that will help my husband see his grandchild for what he is instead of focusing on his looks? -- Sad Grandma Dear Grandma: Your husband needs to cut it out. Whether it’s coming from a kid at school or a grandparent, bullying is never OK. Press the question of why it bothers him so much that your grandson has long hair. Ask him whether he can remember when he grew his hair out as a younger person, and then ask why he did it and how it made him feel if adults ever gave him a hard time about it.

What matters most is that your grandson is healthy and that you have a relationship with him -- something that won’t exist if he keeps this up.

Dear Annie: I’m a maternity nurse and university professor. My area of expertise is perinatal loss. I read the column regarding a friend’s response to a miscarriage. This is what I’d like to say to “Friend in Need”: I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Your friend’s response was most likely accentuated because she was pregnant and hearing of your experience made her feel vulnerable.

People often don’t know what to say, so they avoid the bereaved, which is painful. I’m not making excuses for her. Death happens, and we need to learn to say “I’m sorry” and not feel we need to fix it. Nothing but time will ease your pain.

Loss of a friend added to your losses. I hope that you find a new friend who is empathetic to you. Unfortunately, there are many of us women who are in this unwanted “club.” -- A Nurse in the Know Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip belts out a tune with the band during a concert at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook in 2013.

Doctor treating Downie a longtime Tragically Hip fan SHERYL UBEL ACKER Canadian Press

TORONTO - Gord Downie’s chief oncologist has been to all but one of the Tragically Hip’s farewell concerts and plans to attend each of the band’s remaining shows, including the final stop on the tour in Kingston, Ont. In part, Dr. James Perry is there as a member of a medical team to make sure the group’s 52-year-old frontman is well enough to perform, given his diagnosis of an incurable brain tumour that was announced in May. “That was the original plan and it’s become less and less necessary, but I make myself available at the venue pre-show,” said Perry, a neuro-oncologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto.

“I’m helping to provide support. And thank goodness nothing has transpired. Good plans sometimes need to be made and hopefully never used, and so far that’s been the case.”

There were concerns that Downie - known for his energetic, often frenetic, stage presence might not have the mental or physical endurance for the four-week, cross-Canada tour after going through surgery and six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy for his cancer, a relatively

rare but aggressive and invasive tumour called a glioblastoma.

“When I wondered if he would have the stamina and not get too tired and run into problems, I never imagined him leaping around in a pink leather suit with a feathered cap,” Perry said.

“It says so much about the guy.”

Long before the singer-songwriter became his patient, the physician was a fan of the iconic Canadian band.

“I was and I’m exactly the right vintage to be born and raised on Hip music,” Perry, 52, said Wednesday before heading down to the Air Canada Centre for Downie’s pre-show checkup and the first of the group’s three Toronto concerts.

The day before, Perry had joined about 120 Sunnybrook staffers who gathered on the hospital grounds to sing the band’s song “Courage” for a YouTube video to thank those who have donated money toward the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research.

Sporting a Tragically Hip cap and accompanied by his wife and two youngest children, Perry belted out the lyrics by heart.

And after seeing Downie and his bandmates perform on their “Man Machine Poem” tour, he’s even more in

awe of the Hip. “They have just gotten better with each show, more confident.

The one thing they did not do was to take the easy road on this. They’re not going out there and singing their album ‘Yer Favourites’ or their 20 greatest hits.

“They have a carefully constructed set list that changes every night....

And I think given the potential worries about Gord’s memory or about word-finding, he’s just been so brave. He just says, ‘You know, let’s do this.’

“And it’s been beyond my expectations.”

Perry won’t say much about his patient’s current health status, except that Downie is not currently receiving any treatment.

“His last MRI (in late May) was fantastic from my point of view, and we’ll get together after the Kingston show, after he’s had a chance to rest a little bit, and we’ll sit down and see where we’re going from there.”

Still, there’s no getting around the fact that glioblastomas, which affect an estimated four to six in every 100,000 Canadians, are notoriously difficult to treat and have a grim prognosis. As such, raising funds for research into these and other brain tumours can be challenging compared to more common cancers.

Health Canada sets rules for patients wanting to grow marijuana C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - Revamped federal rules to allow Canadians to grow their own medical marijuana are likely to form part of the government’s overall plan for legalization of the drug, the federal justice minister says.

The new rules will allow people who have been authorized by their doctor to use medicinal cannabis to grow a limited amount of marijuana for their personal use, or designate someone

else to grow it for them.

Those rules will be taken into account by a federal task force struck to craft recommendations on how to legalize recreational marijuana use, Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said.

Rules and regulations around legalization are to be unveiled next spring.

“The regulations that were spoken today form part of the considerations that our task group on marijuana will consider,” Wil-

son-Raybould said after testifying before the Commons justice committee.

“Certainly how it is dispensed and how the process of legalizing marijuana will be considered fully and the legislation and the subsequent regulations will reflect that consideration.”

Under the new rules unveiled Thursday by Health Canada, authorized patients will be able to grow a specific number of plants based on their prescriptions and

whether they are growing the plants indoors or outdoors.

Indoors, patients will be able to grow five plants per gram of dried product, and two plants per gram outdoors.

The new rules come into effect on Aug. 24.

The regulations are a response to a Federal Court decision earlier this year that found the ban on patients growing medical marijuana to be a violation of their constitutional rights.

The court gave the federal government six months to come up with a new regulations that would let patients grown their own cannabis for personal use.

Health Canada official told reporters that the government believes the new regulations provide reasonable access for patients to medical marijuana and address the issues raised in the court decision.

They also repeatedly said

YUKON

that dispensaries and compassion clubs that hand out marijuana are considered illegal operations and the only place to purchase medical marijuana is through one of the 34 licensed suppliers in Canada who serve some 70,000 clients.

Those licensed suppliers will, under the new rules, be a legal source for marijuana plants and seeds.
