The One Love Hot Yoga building is a total loss after a fire Tuesday, August 26, but it could have been a lot worse, says Kimberley Fire Chief Al Collinson.

The building is attached to the Sprout Grocery building, which houses three busi-nesses.

“The guys had a really good stop,” Collinson said. “The fire did extend to the other build-ing but they were able to prevent it from spreading.”

Registered massage therapist Jennifer Johnston, who was oper-ating out of the centre unit in the Sprout Grocery building says

there is extensive damage inside.“It’s pretty much completely

destroyed, there is about six inch-es of sludge on the ground, water and smoke damage.”

Cause of fire not determined

TRE VOR CR AWLEYTownsman Staff

There’s a new face at the helm of the Koote-nay Trout Hatchery.

Lance Page has taken over managerial duties from Ken Scheer, who retired in July, and is embarking on a new chapter in his life.

Growing up on Van-couver Island, sport fishing had always con-sumed his free time, but he toured a provincial government fish hatch-ery in Duncan many years ago that piqued his interest, and he left with the goal of obtain-ing the necessary edu-cation that would allow him to get into fish aquaculture.

After bouncing around private and commercial fisheries

and aquaculture opera-tions on the West Coast, he landed the job out at the Kootenay Trout Hatchery.

“Basically, it took me 22 years to make the full circle and get the job I wanted originally,” Page joked.

That job includes managing fish culture and sturgeon programs out at the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, which are vital to maintaining healthy fish stock popu-lations in lakes and riv-ers across the region.

“The society is trying to grow only fish from this region—Region 4—at this hatchery, and they’re trying to do that with hatcheries across the province,” Page said. “For the most part, fish stocks, as far as I can tell, from the lakes that I’ve

been to, are su-per-healthy.”

Then there’s the hatchery facility itself, which has an interpre-tive tour area, adminis-tration offices and work shops, along with the trout, char kokanee and sturgeon culture opera-tions and a learn-to-fish pond.

“The people around here sure love it,” said Page. “The grounds are kept beautiful, people like to come out and picnic—it’s a great feel-ing. The staff are su-per-proud of the place.”

In terms of tourism, the learn-to-fish pond and the interpretive tours, which include the option of going behind the scenes and see how the hatchery operates, are a big draw.

But it’s the sturgeon

the building was origi-nally built in the 1960s, and replace them with fibreglass tanks.

“Fibreglass ponds will use much less water, that’s really big,” said Page. “Fish health is bet-ter, fish growth is better in a round tank. They’ll get much more current, they’ll be more active. We’ll get a better prod-uct out of them, for sure.”

Fostering and grow-ing sport fishing is part of the FFSBC’s mandate, and since his arrival in early summer, Page has already had a taste of what lakes and rivers in the area have to offer.

“Since moving here, I

miss the ocean a bit, be-cause I was a big ocean fisherman, but the amount of opportuni-ties to fish different places around here is incredible,” said Page. “Within 30 minutes of my door, I could proba-bly fish a hundred dif-ferent places if I wanted to, probably more.”

The Kootenay Trout Hatchery is one of five provincial trout hatch-eries within the FFSBC. The society’s main man-date is to produce fish for B.C.’s lakes and streams for species con-servation and sport fish-ing.

New manager at Kootenay Trout Hatchery

From Page 1Johnston has already set up at a new tempo-

rary location at Mountain Pose Yoga at 100 Deer Park Ave in the Platzl and was back to work today.

“I am sticking to my schedule so if you had an appointment, come to the new location.”

To book an appointment call 250-908-0034.Collinson says the cause of the fire has not been

determined. Wednesday morning he was waiting for the electrical inspector to arrive, and also had a call in to the office of the Fire Commissioner.

“Right now we know the fire originated at the yoga building,” he said. “There is going to be an investigation.”

17 Kimberley Fire Fighters responded to the call.

Fire update

that tend to be a pop-ular fixture, as the FFSBC and partner or-ganizations across the province and north-western U.S. work to-wards rebuilding the population in the Co-lumbia River, which is considered endangered.

“Behind the scenes, sturgeon is a huge draw,” Page said. “It’s culture you’re only going to see a couple places in the province. You’re never going to see baby sturgeon [any-where else]. Very inter-esting to see what can be mammoth fish grow-ing in a little tiny tank and need so much care.”

They are housed

right in the facility buildings, as hatchery staff catch mature stur-geon out in the Colum-bia River and bring them back for the spawning process.

“It’s a pretty neat feeling,” Page added. “You take this fish, bring it here, spawn it for it’s offspring, and then take it back completely un-harmed. Now we can raise it’s offspring and let it go.”

There will be some changes coming in the near future to the facility itself, as renovations are in the works to remove some of the concrete raceway lanes, which have been around since

The Big Top is up, shows

begin tonightFor the Bulletin

This Thursday, Fri-day, and Saturday, Au-gust 28, 29, & 30, at Rotary Park, in the big tent by the Civic Cen-tre, Dr. Von Houligan’s Carnival of Calamities will bring magic, com-edy, and all manner of entertaining antics to the stage in the Big Top. This travelling carnival from Alberta is touring small towns in western Canada, bringing the type of show not often seen outside the larger cen-tres anymore. Allister Denton and his calam-itous cronies are here to entertain.

On Thursday, Fri-day, and Saturday eve-nings at 6.30 p.m. they will perform a family show featuring jug-glers, acrobats, char-acters and clowns, magic and illusions and lots of comedy. These early shows will be followed at 9.30 p.m. by performances with more mature con-tent for audiences 16

years and older. Reports are glowing

from other communi-ties where Dr. Von Houligan’s carnival has played. Their last show was in Blairmore where comments post-ed to Facebook includ-ed “Great show. Worth twice as much” and “Much fun tonight in Blairmore”.

Shows always in-clude inviting audi-ence members on stage to help out with tricks, usually much to everyone’s amuse-ment. Also, local per-formers who would like to showcase their talents with Dr. Houli-gan’s carnival are in-vited to contact Allis-ter Denton at the big blue bus or trailer at the tent site prior to the show’s opening on Thursday.

Tickets for the Car-nival of Calamities are available in advance at Centre 64 (250-427-4919) or at the door, priced $20 adults, $10 children under 12 and seniors. For more in-sight into what you might expect to see, check out Dr. Von Houligan on the Inter-net.

Says Kimberley Sun Mine should be

interesting to watch

Arne PetryshenTownsman Staff

There were some questions about solar panels at the coffee with the Mayor in July. One of the questions centred around solar panel electrical vehicle charging stations.

Jay Armstrong, Cranbrook’s Energy Manager noted that it is possible, but it’s cur-rently more cost-effec-tive to use grid-power in B.C.

“Off-grid or weak-grid locations where adding or upgrading power lines and trans-formers would be cost prohibitive would in-crease solar viability,” Armstrong wrote in the report. “In addition,

many utilities are mov-ing to time-of-use pric-ing, in which peak hours of morning, mid-day, and dinner-time see rate

surcharges - such pricing structures are not likely in the near term in B.C.”

He gave an example that those rates may be up to two to five times higher than B.C., and therefore significantly increase cost viability. In addition to solar gen-eration, in some in-stances excess vehicle battery capacity is even reversed to power the grid, so as to receive maximum time-of-use profit.

Armstrong also noted that electricity in Alberta is more expen-sive, and significantly more greenhouse-gas intensive than in BC, which may make a proj-ect around solar panels in the Public Works yard more viable.

“Evolutions of solar technology combined with decreasing costs may begin to increase project viability and outweigh complexity and maintenance con-cerns in the next few years,” he wrote. “Re-gardless, there are sig-nificant energy conser-vation opportunities throughout the city which have higher pay-back.”

He said that accom-plishes more for each taxpayer dollar and fol-lows energy manage-ment practices of re-ducing need first, and allows time for prices of early adopter technolo-gy such as solar to be-come more affordable.

He said the first phase of the Kimberley Sun-Mine should prove interesting and rele-vant, since it will be using top-of-the-line dual-axis tracking solar panels to maximize en-ergy reception.

PAGE A6 THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 2014

It is quite possible for soldiers to cross a frontier “by accident on an un-marked section,” and that is how

Moscow explains the capture of a group of Russian paratroopers on Ukrainian territo-ry last weekend. Poor lambs, they just wan-dered across the border by mistake. When they get home, they’ll have to be sent on a refresher course in cross-country naviga-tion.

The flaw in this story is that the ten captured Rus-sian soldiers, from the 331st Regiment of the 98th Guards Airborne Division, were caught in a group of unmarked vehicles TWEN-TY KILOMETRES inside Ukraine. That’s a third of the way from the Russian border to the besieged rebel city of Donetsk, and it’s really hard to ex-plain away as a navigational error.

Besides, there is plenty of other evi-dence (though no other video interviews with captured Russian troops) to show that there is now a three-pronged Rus-sian offensive underway in eastern Ukraine. There are probably fewer than a thousand Russian regular army troops on Ukrainian territory at the moment, but their purpose is clearly to stop the col-lapse of the pro-Russian rebels and re-verse the momentum in the ground war.

Last week the Ukrainian forces finally cut the last remaining road from Russia to the besieged city of Luhansk, shortly after a large convoy of Russian trucks violated Ukrainian sovereignty and drove up that road to deliver “humanitarian” aid to the city. The rebel forces have now launched a counter-offensive to reopen the road, and Russian self-propelled artillery units have entered Ukraine in the Krasnodon area to support their attacks.

Another Russian force, including

tanks, crossed the border on 24 August fifty km. south of Donetsk, the capital of the other rebel province, and is trying to open a corridor to that city. (The cap-tured paratroopers were part of that force, which is currently stalled near Ilovaisk.) And on 25 August a column of Russian armour crossed into Ukraine well to the south, heading west along the

coast of the Sea of Azov towards the port city of Mariupol.

This last incursion, pre-sumably an attempt to open a third front and re-lieve the pressure on the two besieged cities, has now occupied No-

voazovsk, about thirty km. east of Mariu-pol. The Ukrainian forces say they de-stroyed a dozen armoured infantry carri-ers there, but in the end they were driven out. Russian helicopter gunships also killed four Ukrainian border guards and wounded three others in an attack on a border post east of Luhansk on Tuesday.

It’s not yet all-out war between Russia and Ukraine, but there is no doubt that Ukrainian forces are now in direct com-bat with Russian troops on several fronts. Russia still officially denies all this, of course, but its denials are not meant to be believed. Rather than see the separatist forces that Moscow has sponsored in the two eastern Ukrainian provinces simply collapse, Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to escalate the conflict.

The message is that Russia will do whatever is necessary militarily to keep the rebellion alive. But is that really true? Putin is now just one step short of a full Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine, and Russia is already suffering serious eco-nomic sanctions. Take that last step, and it’s back to the Cold War — a war that

Russia would ultimately lose, and it wouldn’t take forty years this time either.

Today’s Russia has only half the popu-lation of the old Soviet Union, and it is no longer a major industrial power. Without its oil and gas exports, its citizens would be as poor as Ukrainians. If NATO started to take the “Russian threat” really seri-ously and re-armed itself accordingly, Russia simply couldn’t keep up militarily — and even trying would wreck its fragile economy. In the end, that would proba-bly bring Putin down.

Putin presumably understands this at some level, but his pride, and his desire to restore Russian power, won’t let him just accept defeat. So the current escala-tion is best seen as his next move in a game of chicken: can he frighten the West into making a deal that saves his face and turns Ukraine back into a political and economic dependency of Russia? The answer is: probably not.

Ukraine’s president, Petro Poroshen-ko, certainly does not intend to go back to the old days. When he called a parlia-mentary election last week, he was effec-tively declaring that Ukraine will contin-ue to be a sovereign and centralised state, not the neutered and decentralised state that Moscow wants — and that it will keep its options open on joining the Eu-ropean Union and even NATO (though neither of those options is currently on offer).

The problem with games of chicken is that each player must demonstrate his willingness to go all the way, even though going all the way is crazy. The first one to give way to an attack of sanity loses. The only way to avoid a disastrous smash-up and still not lose is for both players to go sane at exactly the same time. That is what diplomacy is for, but so far it isn’t working.

Letters to the editorLook beyond numbers

With September 2 just around the cor-ner, the bargaining impasse between the provincial government and the BC Teach-ers’ Federation hinges on numbers – numbers about wages, benefits and class size. But behind those numbers are over half a million students who are waiting anxiously to start their school year on time. Whether it is their very first day in kindergarten or the beginning of their last year as a high school student, they are the reason any of those other numbers mat-ter. School trustees across BC want our schools open and ready for students on September 2.

We have called on the government to immediately put strike savings back into schools to help address concerns regard-

ing class size and composition. We have told the Ministers of Education and Fi-nance that the money for the proposed $40-a-day subsidy for parents would be better spent on students in schools. We continue our advocacy for improved edu-cation funding, and our trustee represen-tatives at the bargaining table are calling for maintaining flexibility on class size and composition to improve the learning settings for students.

The two parties are approximately a percentage point apart on salary and one year apart on the proposed term of the contract – items that could be resolved through mediation. However, the pro-posed increases to benefits, the workload fund and the $5000 signing bonus request makes the full package well outside the affordability range. BC’s public education

system ranks among the very best in the world, due in large part to our talented and dedicated teachers. Trustees believe that teachers deserve a fair wage increase, but the BCTF’s overall compensation pro-posal needs to be aligned with other BC public sector agreements.

The issues are complex. This is not just about money. Ultimately, we need an agreement that meets the needs of stu-dents and provides long-term stability for public education. A deal can be reached. Students can be back in school on Sep-tember 2. The government and the BCTF must move on the numbers and put stu-dents first.

Having been raised on the legends and myths of the Trojan War, I find great romance in the adventures of

archeologists. Imagine that fellow Heinrich Schliemann, who more than 150 years ago proved that legend was history when he excavated the site of Troy. It has since been determined that nine cities are located there, piled on top of each other. From thriving metropolis to ghost town, over and over again for countless centuries. Fantastic stuff!

So I’m ready to believe — when an an-cient sidewalk is unearthed in the city of Cranbrook — that buried below our city of the present is an historical city of Cran-brook, and below that, perhaps a legend-ary city of Cranbrook, and below that …

I went down to see the ancient side-walk, buried four feet beneath Sixth Street North for who knows how many decades, this week seeing the light of day again thanks to the road construction efforts underway.

“Look at that ancient sidewalk,” I said to myself, in proper tones of awe. “Imagine the feet that sidewalk has had on it. Per-haps the legendary schoolmarm Amy Woodland rode her bicycle down this sidewalk. Perhaps Valen-tine Hyde Baker challenged someone to a fight right here. Maybe crowds had gathered on this very side-walk to watch a parade go by, a parade filled with skit-tish elephants.

“This sidewalk is living, breathing history,” I said to myself again, more excitedly. “Workmen!” I shouted. “Stop your labours! There are artifacts of paleo-historiographical significance en-tombed in the hereabouts that must be exhumed without delay for the erudifica-tion of us all!” The workmen ignored me, and I walked away brooding.

I inquired of the local historians the mysteries behind the ancient sidewalk, and I was quickly disabused of my roman-tic notions. But if this exposed stretch of concrete was no legendary sidewalk, it

was, in fact, an even more fabled artifact, a legendary piece of infrastructure that no one was even sure had actually existed.

What the workmen had exposed was the Smith Creek culvert.

The Smith Creek Storm Sewer was cast by the City of Cranbrook in the Skat-ing Rink in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and laid out in 1935. It consisted of — consists of — 5,320 feet of concrete pipe, 30 inches

in diameter, with a grade of 0.284 per cent, according to the Cranbrook Courier.

The Courier report (1944) adds:“The third artificial interference with

the natural drainage was a small dam con-structed on Smith Creek where it passes under Wattsville Road, 3,750 upstream from the intake of the storm sewer. At this point, the creek issues from a large swamp several miles in length. The purpose of the dam was to flood the swamp, thus forming a shallow lake intended to serve as a bird sanctuary. The dam raised the level of

water in the swamp four feet …”So there it is in a nutshell — the cre-

ation of Elizabeth Lake and the drainage system under downtown Cranbrook to Joseph Creek. Flooding at Elizabeth Lake this year, and attendant concerns over its drainage, led many to think about that mysterious infrastructure which had been buried for so long no one was really sure where it was.

But there it is. And my sources say the City engineer says the culvert is in very good condition and running about 12 inches deep through that 30-inch pipe.

So in many ways, this is better news than the discovery of the legendary Cran-brook — that a key piece of infrastructure is alive and well after all those decades.

But still, as I walk along our excellent modern sidewalks, my eyes drift down-ward and I ask myself, “what else is down there?”

Open for businessIce camp commences as prospects look to stand out

Taylor rocca PhoTo

Prospect Keelan Williams guards the pipes Wednesday during the opening prospect game at Ice train-ing camp. With Wyatt Hoflin the only returning netminder, Williams could challenge for crease time.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

The Kootenay Ice of-ficially opened training camp Wednesday with two prospect games highlighting the next generation of talent hoping to make the jump to Cranbrook and the Western Hockey League.

“I was impressed,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson follow-ing the Wednesday eve-ning prospect game. “Obviously a lot of nerves [for the young guys] coming into today and I thought they per-formed very well.”

For the first time since being drafted by Kootenay with the 11th overall selection at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, defenceman Grif-fin Mendel stepped onto the ice at Western Fi-nancial Place.

Mendel, a Kelowna native, isn’t eligible to play as a 15-year-old this season. But he cer-tainly left an impression on those who saw him Wednesday.

“He stuck out. He definitely got my atten-tion,” Henderson said. “But there’s more than just him. There’s been a lot of guys that have

played very well. That’s what these guys have got to do. They’ve got to stand out.”

Another defenceman who caught Hender-son’s eye was Cale Fleu-ry. The native of Carlyle, Sask. doesn’t turn 16 until November, but looked poised and calm in his own end. Whether it was breaking up three-on-one opportunities or establishing a smooth breakout, Fleury was steady. Fleury is the younger brother of 2014 Carolina Hurricanes first-round draft choice Haydn Fleury. The younger Fleury has al-ready grabbed the at-tention of Hockey Cana-da brass as he attended U17 Development Camp in Calgary earlier this summer.

Fleury joined the Ice organization after he was selected by the team with the 78th over-all pick in the fourth round of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft.

Up front, it was an-other pair of 2013 ban-tam draft selections that buzzed.

Former first-round pick Jared Legien was strong up and down the wings while Vince Los-chiavo turned on the af-ter-burners, showing

great speed on zone en-tries as well as a nose for the net.

Legien was Koote-nay’s first-round pick in 2013, going ninth over-all. Loschiavo came 22 picks later when the Ice grabbed him with the 31st overall selection.

While impressive performances are great on day one, all of that changes today when the prospects and veterans get thrown into the blender together.

“It’s a much better pace and positionally, [the game] is probably more sound,” Hender-son said. “It’s a good test for these guys. You obvi-ously get the nerves out today and tomorrow you get thrown in with some of the bigger boys and we’ll see where they stand.”

Though the scores hold no weight in any standings, Team White edged Team Black in both prospect contests, taking the morning affair 5-3 before claiming a 5-2 win in the evening finale.

The 56 players in camp will be shuffled onto three teams with Team Blue facing Team White in the first game of the day at 11 a.m.

Once again, a goal-tenders session will break up the games at 4:45 p.m. before Team Black hits the ice against Team Blue in the 6 p.m. tilt.

All training camp sessions are open to the public.

Nothing short of explosiveNitros brass expect the best as training camp opens FridayTaylor rocc a

Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dy-namiters are set to open training camp Friday night at the Kimberley Civic Centre and presi-dent Chad Koran is looking for nothing less than the best.

“We’re looking for-ward to our returning players coming in and shining, obviously,” Koran said Wednesday afternoon, “and we’re looking for the young guys coming in…to turn some heads and get some attention.”

With 45 players com-ing to camp, there will be plenty of competition in Kimberley this weekend.

Tyson Brouwer is the only holdover between

the pipes as Jeremy Mousseau heads off to the college ranks.

Up front, leading scorer Jared Marchi re-turns to help fuel the of-fence. The 19-year-old Kimberley native led the Nitros with 25 goals and 57 points in 43 games last season.

Jason Richter, follow-ing a tryout with the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hock-ey League, is also ex-pected to return. The Cranbrook-born for-ward tallied 23 goals and 46 points in 47 games for the Nitros during the 2013-14 sea-son. As an 18-year-old, he will look to chase down Marchi for the team scoring crown in 2014-15.

“We want to have them set the bar fairly high so these other guys coming in can see, ‘Holy Dinah, we’ve got some competition here to make this team,’” Koran said. “We definitely want them to be at their best.”

Tyson Klingspohn finished third in Nitros scoring in 2013-14 and also returns to the club. The 17-year-old posted 15 goals and 33 points in 52 games with the Dy-namiters last season.

In addition to the reg-ular returners, Dynamit-er brass is excited for a new crop of local talent, including the VanStein-burg brothers, Matt Bar-zilay and Jesse Wallace .

Tyler VanSteinburg is a 16-year-old defence-

man that could poten-tially help fill the void created when veteran blueliner Andrew Miller requested a trade closer to home. The 20-year-old Miller was dealt to the Beaver Valley Nite-hawks for future consid-erations last week.

Trevor VanSteinburg is a 17-year-old forward who already has a smat-tering of KIJHL experi-ence in his back pocket. The Cranbrook native suited up in seven games for the Nelson Leafs last season in ad-dition to spending most of the year with the Koo-tenay Ice of the B.C. Major Midget League.

Matt Barzilay is an-other 17-year-old for-ward expected to bolster the ranks and the Nitros

a l r e a d y know what they’re get-ting with the Cranbrook native. Bar-z i l a y dressed in four games for Kimber-ley during the 2012-13 KIJHL season, posting one goal and three points in the process.

Last week after the trade of Miller, Nitros GM Dave Smith said they like to keep their squad young and with another 17-year-old local forward stepping on to the ice, there is no arguing that statement.

Jesse Wallace, a Kim-berley native, is expect-ed to make the full-time

jump to the Dynamiters in 2014-15 after getting into four games with the club since 2012.

“We want 100 per cent out of each of these guys. It goes a long way,” Koran said. “You don’t want any bad apples in the dressing room.

“We want 100 per cent out of each one of our guys and an honest effort. They need to come here believing they have a chance to

earn a spot on the team. And they could very well do so. [There are spots] up for grabs.”

Dynamiters camp opens Friday with the first practice slated for 6 p.m.

Sessions continue with games running from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. through 1:15 p.m. Sun-day.

All sessions are open to the public.

NHL remains status quo as expansion rumours flySTephen Whyno

Canadian Press

TORONTO — NHL expansion is likely com-ing in the near future, though the league hasn’t committed to any official plan just yet.

For more than a year, commissioner Gary Bet-tman has said the NHL is listening when ap-proached by cities inter-ested in acquiring a team even though there’s no formal expansion pro-cess underway. Amid re-ports this week indicat-ing solid plans are in place, deputy commis-sioner Bill Daly said there’s “nothing new to report on this subject.’’

Status quo doesn’t necessarily mean the NHL won’t eventually expand to Las Vegas, as the Vancouver Province reported Tuesday was a “done deal.’’ And it doesn’t necessarily dis-count the possibility of adding four teams by 2017, one each in Las Vegas, Seattle and Que-bec City and a second in Toronto, as SportsBusi-nessNews.com reported via Twitter.

Getting to 32 teams sooner rather than later would make sense for a league that moved to unbalanced confer-ences with 16 teams in the East and 14 in the West beginning last sea-son. Las Vegas and Seat-tle fit geographically.

But the NHL has sev-

eral hurdles to over-come before awarding franchises, including answering arena and ownership questions.

MGM and AEG are in the process of building a 20,000-seat facility in Las Vegas that could be ready by the spring of 2017, and either UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center or Orleans Arena could be short-term options. But it’s still unclear who would own a team in Las Vegas, let alone what could happen to sportsbooks if the NHL is the first major North American professional league to move in there.

Seattle, with its vocal and passionate fanbase, has a less-than-ideal ar-rangement in the short-term with Key Arena. Getting a new building would be crucial to the NHL going to the Pacific

Northwest. Chris Han-sen, who tried to buy the NBA’s Sacramento Kings to move them to Seattle, and Don Levin, owner of the AHL’s Chicago Wolves, could head up an ownership group there.

C o m mu n i cat i o n s giant Quebecor would love to resurrect the Quebec City Nordiques, and Quebecor Arena could be done by the fall of 2015. The Canadian dollar is much stronger than it was in the mid-1990s when the Nor-diques moved to Den-ver, and fans have long been clamouring for the return of the NHL.

But Bettman said at the Stanley Cup final in June that he wasn’t sure how the NHL would deal with putting anoth-er team in the Eastern Conference. The Detroit

Red Wings and Colum-bus Blue Jackets were just moved from the West to the East for the 2013-14 season.

If the NHL did choose to cash in on what SportsBusiness-News.com reported would be roughly US$1.4 billion in expan-sion fees by expanding to 34 teams by the cen-tennial season of 2017-18, a second team in Toronto could play in the Western Confer-ence. The size of the To-ronto market has long made it an interesting possibility, whether the expansion team shares Air Canada Centre with the Maple Leafs or has its own arena.

Officially, expansion is not on the agenda. But that doesn’t stop the speculation.

1898RAILROAD IS HERE! … Steel

Was Laid Into Cranbrook on Tues-day, August the Twenty-Third. At last Cranbrook has a railroad. The people have waited long for this event, and today they are happy. Tuesday morning the smoke from the engine that propels the track layer was seen at the further end of the prairie to the northeast, and slowly but surely the great iron horse approached the town of Cranbrook. Length after length of rails were laid by the large force of men employed for that purpose, and when the sun dipped behind the timber covered hills to the southwest, the dying rays were re-flected back from the steel rails that carried the first train into Cran-brook. Tuesday, August 23rd, will always be a memorable day in the history of Cranbrook, the leading city of South East Kootenay. That day brought the railroad, and with it the fruition of the people’s fond-est hopes, and the material evi-dence of the prosperity that is to follow. It gave absolute assurance of transportation facilities, and a

positive guarantee that the pack-horse and the freight wagon would soon be relics of the past so far as shipping goods into Cranbrook is concerned. And how rapidly the grand transformation was wrought! At sunrise, an open prairie and a grade. At sunset, a main track, sev-eral sidetracks, trains of freight cars loaded to their full capacity, com-pany’s dining cars located and ready for use, a telegraph office a short distance away, and every-thing moving along as though the road had been duly installed for a month. The wonderful work was accomplished in a manner charac-teristic of the methods that prevail in the west, and is paralleled by the rapidity that the town of Cranbrook sprang from an oat field into a thriving, hustling business center. But the work done that day and since is nothing compared with what is to follow. That work was temporary. The work that is to fol-low will be of a permanent charac-ter. There are switches to construct, many sidetracks to lay, depot, roundhouse and shops to build, and many other things to be done by the Company that will make Cranbrook its official headquarters for the Crows Nest Pass line.

TRAIN SERVICE … Commenc-ing tomorrow, regular trains will be run from Cranbrook east, giving

passenger accommodations from this point. This will prove a great convenience to the people.

FIRST FOR CRANBROOK … Cranbrook had her first open air religious service last Sunday eve-ning. One of the men working on the road, who labours for Haney during the week and Christ on Sun-day, talked straight salvation to a large crowd for an hour. He seemed sincere and displayed intense en-thusiasm, and therefore is entitled to the same respect and consider-ation accorded to any other worker in the Lord’s vineyard. His gram-mar and rhetoric may have been faulty, but if his heart is in the right place, what’s the odds.

STOP THAT HABIT … Opium, Morphine, Cocaine, and Lauda-num, stopped at once. R.J.C. Hoff-man, 484 Isabella Bldg., Chicago, Ill

CONDuCTOR TEmPLEmAN INjuRED ... Last Saturday morning Conductor Templeman, who was in charge of his train near the end of steel, was badly injured by being hit over the back of the head by one of his brakeman named Ross. The men had engaged in some alterca-tion over an order issued by Mr. Templeman, and without warning the brakeman made a brutal attack with the heavy stick used in cou-

pling cars. Templeman was brought to Wardner and Dr. King summoned from Elko. Ross was taken into cus-tody and placed in the lockup.

1899STOLE WATCH AND mONEY ...

Last Sunday Martin O’Toole stepped into the rooms of Elmer Musgrave and E. H. Small, propri-etors of the Cosmopolitan, taking a watch belonging to the former and $50 in money from the latter. Mr. Musgrave had left his room only a minute, and during his brief ab-sence O’Toole took the watch from the table. He got Mr. Small’s money while that gentleman was asleep. As soon as Mr. Musgrave missed.his watch, having seen O’Toole hurrying down the stairs, he in-formed Night Watchman Foster, and within fifteen minutes the thief was in custody. Monday afternoon he pleaded guilty before Magis-trates Leitch and Moffat to taking the watch and money, declaring, however, that he only got $20, He was sentenced to six months at Nelson, and Constable Morris took him to his future residence on the evening train.

NEW ROAD … The wagon road was begun early this week for the new bridge over St. Josephs creek on the Mission Road to Old Town, Perry Creek. The work is in charge

of F. LeClerce.

SENTENCED … Pasto, the Ital-ian convicted of killing Edward Ryan in this city, and Jack Lerone, convicted of stealing nineteen cases of dynamite from the C.P.R. warehouse at Fernie, have been taken to the penitentiary at Victo-ria. Pasto goes for life, and Derone for two years.

1900The Big Swede Touched … A few

nights ago a railroad worker known as the “Big Swede” was sitting in a room of a public house in an obliv-ious condition; a well-known rail-road trainman, once well up in the service, came in and “touched” the Swede for a watch, which later was taken by the thief to a house on the row and disposed of. The man was arrested and is now in jail; he will have his trial Saturday. He is very anxious that his name should be suppressed, so as not to cause his family “worry.” He is very consider-ate of his family indeed, as accord-ing to reports they have for some time been suffering for the necessi-ties of life and in a way dependent upon charitable people for their meagre sustenance, while the hus-band — who is so fearful they might be worried over his arrest — has been blowing his money on whis-key and women.

Kimberley Arts Council will host the concert ceilidh-style with local Highland dancers performing. Complimentary Scot-tish snacks will be served and a no-host bar will offer wine and beer in this fund-raiser event for the arts coun-cil. Advance tickets are available from Centre 64 and the Snowdrift Café, priced $22 for KAC members, $24 for non-members. You can also purchase your tick-ets on line at:

She plays not only clas-sical music but pop, folk, jazz, and experi-mental music as well. She has several CDs out, the latest Amytis Dawning, and has played on 38 recordings by other celebrated art-ists.

Bruce MacGregor is the founder of the multi-award-winning Highland fiddle group, Blazin’ Fiddles, and a presenter on BBC Radio Scotland. He has even been commissioned to write music for the Dalai Lama. MacGregor runs the Highland Fid-dle School and his group, Blazin’ Fiddles, plays to sold out houses numbering in the many hundreds. He is one of

Scotland’s most accom-plished and celebrated fiddle players with 6 videos and many CDs to his name.

Andy Hillhouse is a Canadian folk and tra-ditional music guitarist, founder of the Celtic funk band, Mad Pud-ding, with whom he made 4 CDs and per-formed across two con-tinents. He now spe-cializes in Celtic rhythm guitar and has per-formed with The Mc-Dades, with whom he won a Juno in 2006.

Dan PerryAssociated Press

The third Gaza War in six years appears to have ended in another sort

of tie, with both Israel and Hamas claiming the upper hand. Their questionable achievements have come at a big price, especially to long-suffering Palestinians in Gaza.

In a sense, Israel got what it wanted: Hamas stopped firing rockets in exchange for mostly vague promises and future talks. But the cost to Israel was huge: Beyond the 70 people killed — all but six of them soldiers — the econ-omy has been set back, the tourism season destroyed, its people rattled for 50 days and its global standing pum-meled by images of devasta-tion in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces bristling from people who sense that Hamas controlled events and could not have its grip loosened on the Gaza Strip, which it seized by force from the Palestinian Authority in 2007. Around the corner lie international investigations into war crimes allegations.

Hamas is celebrating its success after surviving Isra-el’s far superior firepower. The Islamic militant group’s rocket fire emptied a string of Israeli border communities and disrupted Tel Aviv’s in-ternational airport.

It also paid dearly: 2,143 Palestinians were killed, in-cluding nearly 500 children and hundreds of militants. The U.N. estimates the war destroyed or severely dam-aged 17,200 homes and left 100,000 Palestinians home-less. Hamas’ rocket arsenal is much depleted and many — if not all — of its attack tun-nels have been destroyed.

The region is unpredict-able. But as it seems this cease-fire may stick, here are some preliminary lessons:

Force may have workedFor 50 days, Hamas stuck

to its rockets. Israel started with carefully targeted de-struction of sites, but steadily escalated its strikes. It razed neighbourhoods and killed top militants. This week, Is-rael destroyed whole apart-ment towers. Hamas’ fight was at first genuinely sup-ported by Gazans desperate for an end to the embargo of

the strip by Israel and Egypt — a policy largely meant to squeeze out Hamas. But in the end, probably sensing the population couldn’t take more, Hamas accepted a deal that does not differ much from the first Egyptian cease-fire proposal offered in mid-July and accepted then by Israel. The moral side of Israel’s use of devas-tating force will be debated and its legality may end up being examined at The Hague, but the outcome sug-gests it achieved its aims. Ne-tanyahu said as much

Wednesday, telling a news conference that Hamas was surprised by the intensity of Israel’s attacks in the last week of the war. Especially interesting was the minimal protest in the Arab world, where Hamas suffers from association with the Islamist groups increasingly margin-alized and feared around much of the region.

The Unity Gov’t is backIsraelis say that since

Hamas embeds itself in civil-ian areas, there was no choice but to target those areas while making efforts to

diminish civilian casualties by issuing warnings. Yet there were alternatives. Isra-el could have accepted some of Hamas’ demands despite reservations about doing so under fire. In May, Israel could have cautiously ac-cepted the establishment of a technocratic Palestinian “unity government’’ that was backed by both Hamas and the moderate Fatah group, which runs the Palestinian Authority and its autono-mous enclaves in the West Bank.

Now Israel seems less upset about the unity gov-ernment. It would probably be grateful to have the Pales-tinian Authority back in Gaza, running at least the borders, handling the recon-struction aid projects — and in general, keeping Hamas in check.

Peace prospects bleakWhatever lies ahead, the

bigger Israeli-Palestinian story remains the same: A majority on both sides wants peace and accepts partition of the Holy Land into two states — but when the other side’s terms are considered, they cannot do a deal. Israel

has always feared a total West Bank pullout that would leave it about 10 miles wide at its narrowest point. Jihadi advances in the face of Arab governments’ hapless-ness now compound that fear. There is talk in the terri-tories of asking the world to force Israel to accept the Pal-estinians’ terms — a fol-low-up to the U.N. General Assembly’s recognition in 2012 of a “state of Palestine’’ in all of Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Pal-estinians tend to describe such efforts, as well as the recent U.S.-led negotiating effort that fizzled, as “last chances’’ to save the “two-state solution.’’ When that’s off the table, their vision does not lean toward accept-ing a future as an occupied people. More likely is anoth-er uprising, or a push by the Palestinians for a single state over all the territory of the Holy Land, in which Arabs and Jews would be equal cit-izens. Israel fears the first and ferociously opposes the second, because it would bury the Zionist dream of a national home for the Jews.

Gaza war ends with another grim stalemate

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — People in Uruguay who want to grow marijuana legally can now register with the government to do so.

The government opened the registration period Wednesday as the South American country rolls out its marijuana legaliza-tion program in stages.

The rules for growing at home come with some restric-tions. It can only be for personal use and there is a limit of six fe-male plants, with an annual harvest of up to 480 grams.

Also, participants in the pro-gram must be at least 18 and either citizens or legal residents of Uruguay.

The country is the first in the world to attempt to regulate the cultivation and sale of marijua-na on a nationwide scale. Presi-dent Jose Mujica has said phar-macies will be allowed to sell marijuana to registered users next year.

NOVOAZOVSK, Ukraine — Pushing west in a new offensive along Ukraine’s strategic coastline, heavily armed Russian-backed sep-aratist forces captured new territory Wednesday far from their previous battles with government troops.

The bold offensive along a new southeastern front raised the prospect that the separatists are seeking to create a land link between Russia and Crimea, which also would give them con-trol over the entire Azov Sea.

After a third day of heavy shelling that sent many resi-dents fleeing, rebel fighters with dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles entered Novoazovsk, a resort town of 40,000 on the Azov Sea, the mayor told The Associ-ated Press.

Novoazovsk lies along the road linking Russia to the Ukrainian port of Mariu-pol and onto Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that

Russia annexed in March.The separatist attack ap-

pears to have caught gov-ernment forces off guard, and they were scrambling Wednesday to build up de-fences. The offensive also adds to growing evidence that the rebels receive Rus-sian support.

To travel to this spot through Ukraine from the main front line around Do-netsk and Luhansk, far to the north, the rebels would have had to cross territory controlled by government troops. The more logical conclusion is that they came across the nearby Russian border.

Ukraine and Western governments have long ac-cused Russia of playing a direct role in the conflict, supplying troops and weap-onry to the rebels. Russia consistently denies the claims, but its stance is in-creasingly dismissed abroad.

Russian forces, she said,

are being sent 30 miles (48 kilometres) inside Ukraine, without them or their fami-lies knowing where they are going. She cited reports of burials in Russia for those who’ve died in Ukraine and wounded Russian soldiers being treated in a St. Peters-burg hospital.

Associated Press journal-ists on the border have seen the rebels with a wide range of unmarked military equip-ment — including tanks, Buk missile launchers and armoured personnel carri-ers — and have run into many Russians among the rebel fighters. Ukraine also captured 10 soldiers from a Russian paratrooper divi-sion Monday around Amv-rosiivka, a town about 20 ki-lometres (12 miles) from the Russian border.

On Wednesday, AP re-porters saw more than 20 shells fall around No-voazovsk in a one-hour span. Many people were leaving the town, while oth-

ers were rushing back in to evacuate relatives. Later in the day, access from the west was blocked by Ukrainian soldiers and the presence of rebels in No-voazovsk could not be inde-pendently confirmed.

A spokesman for Ukraine’s security council, Col. Andriy Lysenko, said he had no information that No-voazovsk had been occu-pied. Earlier, he said the shelling around the town was coming from both Ukrainian and Russian terri-tory. Ukrainian security offi-cials said nearby villages had also come under shell-ing.

The artillery shells in No-voazovsk appeared to be fly-ing between rebel and gov-ernment positions.

In Mariupol, a city of 450,000 about 30 kilometres (20 miles) to the west, de-fences were being built up. A brigade of Ukrainian forc-es arrived at the airport on Wednesday afternoon,

while deep trenches were dug a day earlier on the city’s edge. Other troops were blocking traffic from leaving the port heading east.

Ukraine has already lost more than 750 kilometres (450 miles) of coastline in Crimea, along with a major naval port and significant mineral rights in the Black Sea.

If the separatists were to seize a land bridge to Crimea that would be a fur-ther loss of more than 250 kilometres (150 miles) of coastline. This would also give them or Russia control over the entire Azov Sea and any offshore oil and gas re-serves.

This would leave Ukraine with about 450 kilometres (270 miles) of coastline to the west of Crimea.

Fighting also persisted elsewhere Wednesday, and Lysenko said 13 Ukrainian troops had been killed over the past day.

I have talked about all the activities to do onboard a cruise

ship in Cruising 101. Cruising 102 was all about staterooms. So, let’s talk about all the ac-tivities and sightseeing OFF the cruise ship! Un-less you are on a transat-lantic crossing, there is plenty to see and do.

Once you have booked a cruise, you can go online, retrieve your booking, and look at the day to day itiner-ary for YOUR cruise. The shore excursions (tours booked on the ship, taken on land) available for every des-tination will be listed, the duration, physical activity level, the places visited, and the price. Easy. However, should you just want to disem-bark at the port and do your own thing for the day, or arrange your own land tour, you are free to do just that. Just be back on the ship by the ‘all aboard’ time, and your time is your own. Or choose not to get off that day, and enjoy the peaceful tran-

Cruising 103: More cruise tipsCarla Nelson of Maritime Travel continues the discussion on what makes a successful cruise

Hollandamerica

There is more to a cruise than just life on board,

quility of a nearly empty ship, while others are ashore.

Everything is open on the ship, except for gift shops and the casi-no. These only open when you are sailing, due to local laws.

There are many companies that offer shore tours to cruise

passengers. Cruise lines will tell you the benefit of booking ‘their’ excursion is if something goes wrong on shore and you are late back to the ship, the ship will wait for you. If the tour is not booked through the ship, they will not, and you will be responsible for getting

yourself to the next port. This is a pretty good ar-gument, though not one to be too concerned about. Other reputable shore tour companies will also guarantee to return you to the ship on time, or they will get you to the next port at ‘their expense’. So shop around to get what you want, and at the price you want. We can help with that.

Another small bene-

fit of booking a shore excursion with the cruise line is that you can put the expense on your ‘shipboard ac-count’ and pay at the end of the cruise. Ships are cashless societies. You register your credit card with the ship, they give you a keycard. That card is your identifica-tion for getting on and off the ship, it opens your stateroom door, and it is your charge

card. Easy. You can look at a tally of your charges each day on the TV in your room. Even gratuities for the staff are posted to this ac-count. Should you need to adjust, remove or change something, just head to the purser’s desk and get it sorted out. Just a tip – don’t wait to do this until the night before disembar-kation, everyone else is doing the same thing

and the lineups will be long.

Once you get the hang of the ‘cruise rou-tine’, you’ll be a happy cruiser! And it gets eas-ier and more familiar with every sailing. You just haven’t lived til you’ve cruised! For more information, con-tact Carla Nelson, Mas-ter Cruise Counsellor and Cruise Queen! Maritime Travel 250.489.4788.

ASSOCIATED PRESSWASHINGTON — Jimmy Fal-

lon will lead top comedians in saluting his ``Tonight Show’’ pre-decessor Jay Leno with the na-tion’s top humour prize in Octo-ber at the Kennedy Center in Washington.

The performing arts centre announced Wednesday that Fal-lon will join Chelsea Handler,

Jerry Seinfeld, Wanda Sykes, Betty White, Kevin Eubanks and others in honouring Leno with the Mark Twain Prize for Ameri-can Humor.

Leno will receive the prize during a performance by his fel-low comedians Oct. 19 in Wash-ington.

The show will be broadcast nationally Nov. 23 on PBS sta-

tions.The prize recognizes people

who have had an impact on American society through their humour and social commentary in the tradition of Samuel Clem-ens, the writer and satirist better known as Twain.

Past recipients include Carol Burnett, Ellen DeGeneres and Bill Cosby.

ASSOCIATED PRESSLONDON — A cash-strapped

youth group in Bristol has sold a Banksy artwork to a private collector for 403,000 British pounds ($668,000) — securing the future of the club.

The work, “Mobile Lovers,” shows a couple embracing while checking their mobile phones, their faces illu-minated by the glow of the display. It first appeared on a doorway near the club, Broad Plain Working With Young

People.Club owner Dennis Stinchcombe

had moved the work inside and invit-ed the public to view it — with an op-tional donation.

The work was later put on display at the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery while its ownership was estab-lished.

Stinchcombe thanked Banksy at a news conference at the museum an-nouncing the sale.

Banksy artwork sells for $668,000

TORONTO — The interna-tional laser display Global Rain-bow is coming to Toronto this October.

Created by New York artist Yvette Mattern, it has been dis-played in cities around the world since 2009.

In Toronto, it will light up the night sky casting beams of co-lours up to 60 kilometres.

The show will be part of the ninth edition of Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, an all-night arts festival scheduled for Oct. 4.

The sunset-to-sunrise festival will feature more than 120 proj-

ects created by nearly 400 local, national and international art-ists.

The organizers also plan to expand Nuit Blanche into new neighbourhoods, including Chi-natown, Fort York and Round-house Park this year.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Listen to what seems like a whisper. Your intuition will kick in as your creativity opens the door to what could be a chal-lenging new possibility. Walk through the door and wave hel-lo to newness and excitement. Tonight: Try not to accept any more responsibility. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be more in tune with a child, roommate or friend who allows greater give-and-take between you and someone else. You could find that answers will lead to even more questions. The unexpected plays a big role in making plans. Tonight: Play it nice and easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your imagination will prove to be a gift when dealing with others. You add extra zest to conversations. Allow greater give-and-take between you and someone you consider to be fun. The unexpected could fac-tor into a partnership. Tonight: Love the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to news, and be more decisive than you have been in the past. Recognize what has made you feel so forthright and clear; you will be able to use this ability in the future when you want to clear up a confusing sit-uation. Tonight: Make weekend plans. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You often are in touch with many people. Your biggest problem might be how to deal with an overflow of calls and requests without offending anyone. Try to keep a low pro-file. Understand that you might need to also ask for some help. Tonight: Relax with a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be vested in the out-come of a financial situation. Trust yourself to sort through a problem and come to a work-able solution. A loved one or dear friend will need to be given some slack, as this person ap-pears to be a bundle of nerves. Tonight: On top of your game. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be attentive to someone’s re-

quests, and stay responsive to his or her style of communica-tion. Your understanding will be in high demand with many peo-ple. Someone you care about al-lows you to grow to a new level of understanding. Tonight: Play it low-key. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your ability to understand more of what is happening will emerge. Revamp your approach to a particular matter with the knowledge that something better lies ahead. Your sense of humor will make a demanding matter palpable. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are full of energy, and this allows greater give-and-take between you and others. A meeting could carry more punch than you had thought possible. Understanding is likely to evolve to a new level as a re-sult. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be exhausted by ev-erything that is happening, but a key person in your life will feel

revived. The unexpected might occur, and it will allow you to take another look at what is going on in your life. Tonight: Be intensely involved in whatever you do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Know your limits. Excitement seems to resound throughout the day. Keep a perspective, even if you become triggered. Detach if you feel overwhelmed. Take a walk or call a friend to help you relax. Tonight: Consid-er taking a quick trip before fall gets here. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Do your best to make headway with a project that has been thwarted. Pace yourself, and know full well what is happen-ing around you. Listen to what someone else has to share; you might have an unexpected opportunity for financial gain. Tonight: A must appearance. BORN TODAY Psychologist Bruno Bettelheim (1903), actor Jack Black (1969), singer/songwriter Shania Twain (1965)

Dear Annie: My boss insists that all of her employees eat lunch with her in the cafete-ria every day. She really gets out of whack if we decide to use our “unpaid” time to do what we want. She says we aren’t team play-ers if we don’t eat together. And for the most part, lunch is all about her. She controls the conversation, which is all about her life. To-day, she shared that she scolded a family member for bringing their cell phone to the family dinner table. A few of us at the table had cell phones with us at the time. I don’t know how to handle this. We’re a small operation and can’t avoid one another. I think I should be able to text my kids during my lunch hour. She can’t stand to be argued with and never apologizes. We all need our jobs. What can we do? -- Cornered in N.Y. Dear N.Y.: It is unfortunate that your boss is so clueless and narcissistic. Does she have a supervisor? If so, that is the person to whom you need to direct your complaint. You also could approach your boss as a group, per-haps sending her a letter signed by every-one, explaining that lunch together is nice, but you also need a break during the day to handle personal things that come up while you’re at work, and you don’t want to do it on company time. You can ask whether she would be willing to set aside half of the lunch hour for personal time and let her know how much all of you would appreciate it. But only you can assess how much you value this job and what you risk by pursuing this. Dear Annie: Last year, my siblings loaned my father a decent sum of money, and Dad has yet to pay them back. I was not in a position to help then, but since that time, knowing my father has had financial issues (notably as a result of his poor decisions), I have helped in smaller ways, mostly by buy-ing food for him. Recently, Dad started dating a woman and has talked about various vacations they have taken and trips they are planning. My siblings don’t live around here and are not as close to Dad, so they have no idea where the money is going. Although I don’t want to get in the middle, I think they have a right to know that Dad could be paying them back in some small measure rather than using the money for vacations with his girlfriend. I sure would want to know. -- F. Dear F.: Are you sure Dad is paying for these excursions? It’s quite possible the new girlfriend is paying for these trips. You can ask him why, if he has money to spare, he’s not giving it to your siblings, and yes, you can mention to your siblings that Dad went on a trip or two. But we don’t recommend you chastise Dad or rile up your siblings. They may be delighted that he’s getting out and enjoying his life, and the money might not be that important to them. Or they may have loaned him the money without expect-ing repayment. Any argument about those loans should be between your siblings and their father. No good will come of you put-ting yourself in the middle. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Just Say-ing,” the diabetic woman who wants to bring her own food into a restaurant. She should understand that the owners are not being rude by not allowing it. It is a health viola-tion. There is nearly always an item on the menu that someone with diabetes could eat or ask to have prepared in a way that wouldn’t vio-late their diet. Those items might not be the person’s first choice, but they are adequate compensation for the ability to share a table with her friends, and next time, they can go to a place of her choosing. -- Common Sense Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Parkyr celebrating i r t birt ay

It is with great regret that we announce the passing of Murray McCulloch on August 24, 2014.

A true pioneer, respected outdoorsman and conserva-tionist, he lived his life to its fullest and on his own terms right to the end. He spent the last twenty-eight years of retirement where he wanted to be, on his trap-line and passed gracefully at home, surrounded by those who loved him.

Leaving behind his wife Lucille and an extended family that included sons, daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many close friends.

He will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

LUNN, David (Dave) Joseph

David (Dave) Joseph Lunn died peacefully on Saturday August 24th at his home in Sidney BC.

He leaves Elaine, his wife of 62 years, his sons David (Linda), Brian (Nora), Gary (Alexis), Ralph (Vanessa) and his daughter Margaret. Dave was the proud grandfather of sixteen grandchildren and one great granddaughter.

Dave was born to Ruth Harrow Lunn and Leslie Herbert Lunn in Montreal Quebec. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to the Kootenays and settled in Nelson. Upon his graduation from St Joseph’s Academy, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy. Dave was deployed on the North Atlantic run escorting convoy ships. Following his service in the military, he attended UBC where he received his law degree. After university, he settled once again in the Kootenays and articled in Nelson. At that pivotal time, Dave met Elaine: the love of his life. He married her in 1953. Dave opened a law practice in Trail and resided there for fifteen years. Dave was proud to be a lawyer. In 1965, he was appointed as an administrative judge for the East Kootenay. He and his family moved to Cranbrook and established a summer home at Moyie where they made wonderful friends and lived happily for 35 years. Dave’s career as an administrative judge took him to every corner of the Kootenays until he was 71 years of age.

In 1991 Dave and Elaine retired in Sidney BC. They loved their time there and had opportunities to travel extensively to many parts of the world. Dave had a passion for the outdoors. Dave worked until he was 71 years old. Dave was never sick, he never a broke a bone, and he never missed a day of work. Dave had a wonderful life.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Dave’s memory can be made to Palliative Care or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Funeral services will be held at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church on Friday, August 29th at 11:00 AM. 7742, West Saanich Road, Saanichiton BC.

Canadianscontinue to turn to DAILY NEWSPAPERS for breaking news, analysis of the day’s top events and entertaining content, according to the latest NADbank data. “Increased media compe-tition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of Genesis-Vizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benefi ts they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — The surf was churning in Southern California and even bigger waves were brewing, with big-wave surfers saying they were hoping for swells up to 30 feet (9 metres) on Wednesday.

Surfers and gawkers crowded California beaches Tuesday while workers hurried to fortify beaches and sandbag low-lying areas against flooding from the serious surf expect-ed to peak Wednesday, brought on by Hurri-cane Marie spinning off Mexico’s Pacific coast.

The National Weather Service said beach-es stretching 100 miles (160 kilometres) up the Southern California coast would see large waves and rip currents. Swimmers and surf-ers were urged to be aware of the dangerous conditions.

At The Wedge in Newport Beach, a fa-mous surfing spot, dozens watched body-surfers get pounded by storm-driven waves up to 10 feet (3 metres) high on Tuesday. People took photos and video and clapped, whistled, and cheered when a bodysurfer caught one of the swells.

Lifeguards with flippers and rescue ba-tons at the ready patrolled the edge of the water and two rescue boats kept an eye on the dozen or so brave souls in the water. An ambulance was on stand-by.

If a 30-foot (9-meter) wave does material-ize Wednesday, it will be the biggest wave at The Wedge since 1997’s Hurricane Linda, said Tim Burnham, who’s making a docu-

mentary about the famed surfing locale.“This is the stuff that you dream of: Rain-

bows, unicorns, Southern Hemi swells, hur-ricane swells,” he said after a session in the waves.

“You definitely have a healthy amount of fear,” Burnham said. “You don’t want to be stupid. You’re here to push yourself, but at the end of the day you want to go home to your family.”

Some 60 miles (100 kilometres) to the northwest in Malibu, where the waves were 6-to-8 feet (2-3 metres) high, a surfer was pulled unconscious from the water at Sur-frider Beach on Tuesday and later died at a hospital, authorities said. It was not clear whether the death was related to the surf or was from a medical condition, Kyle Daniels, a Los Angeles County lifeguard captain, told the Orange County Register.

In the city of Long Beach’s Peninsula neighbourhood, residents watched as bull-dozers built huge sand berms between the ocean and their homes. Several shovelled sand into bags around their entryways.

Deborah Popek, who’s lived in the area 20 years, took a walk along the boardwalk to check out the surf.

“It’s always at the last minute that every-body panics because, you know, we don’t expect things to happen,” she said. “But they’re really taking things seriously, because the sandbar is as high as they’ve ever built it.”

Weber contributed from Los Angeles.

Science marches on. Sometimes, it does so on fins.

Research conducted at McGill University studied the effect of a lifetime of walking on a certain type of fish. Yes, fish.

The results, say their paper in the journal Nature, suggest much about the evolution of complex pieces of anatomy such as arms and legs.

“What we wanted to pin down was: if you change the environment of this fish, does it change its behaviour or does its anatomy change?” said Emily Standen, now at the University of Ottawa.

Her team started with a fish called Polypterus. They have both lungs and gills and can live in water or on land. They also have lobelike fins, positioned so they can pull themselves awkwardly forward as if with

stunted arms.“Some people might say they’re not as

pretty as trout, but I think they’re amazing,” Standen said.

She and her colleagues took two groups of Polypterus, raising one in water and one on land. They found that by the end of the ex-periment, the land-raised group had indeed become more efficient walkers than their aquatic counterparts.

But more interestingly, the landlubbers’ bodies had also changed. Bones that their fins had grown beefier. And just a subtle hint of what might be glancingly referred to as a neck had also emerged.

Even more interestingly, the changes seen in the walking group looked a lot like the changes seen in the fossil record as fish slow-ly evolved for terrestrial life.

“All of these changes mirror what we see in the fossil record,” said Standen. “You see

these changes in the bones suddenly over evolutionary time, mirrored by what’s going on in this one individual.”

Environmental changes had produced physical changes — a key finding regarding what scientists call plasticity, the “wiggle room” allowed for in every organism’s DNA.

“What it’s telling us is the plasticity, or the variation that’s hidden within all of us, relates to the evolutionary process because what it allows animals to do is exist in novel environ-ments,” Standen said.

“When you change an environment and (an organism) responds in this plastic way, adaptive selection and evolution has some-thing upon which to act.”

The whole issue of plasticity is a hot one for evolutionary biologists, Standen said. The amount of its influence over evolution or how traits that appear in individuals become

“fixed” into an entire species is still mysteri-ous.

But it could help explain why evolution can come up with solutions so quickly.

“If you’ve got this variation within you, you don’t have to wait for random advanta-geous mutation to occur to allow you to do something new,” Standen said.

“You can use your plasticity to do that new thing, evolution can then act on that existing building block, and that combination allows you to explain how really complex changes can occur in a really short time.”

Standen said she hopes to be able to keep using Polypterus to answer those questions.

“It is dream to be able to breed these, to be able to take it to the next step and do genera-tion after generation and see how far does this go and how fast does this go. Can you get this to fix, somehow?

“It is fascinating.”

Decisions made on burned trees from massive wildfire near Yosemite

Scot t SmithASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO, Calif. — The U.S. Forest Service is expected to un-veil its plan Wednesday for what to do with millions of trees killed one year ago in a massive Califor-nia wildfire.

Backers of logging favour sending the trees to sawmills, which they say will generate money so the Forest Service can replant the forest. Taking out dead trees will also allow the public to use the land, they say, and eliminate a new fire hazard caused by the falling trees. Tim-ber industry officials say they have about two years from the fire before the trees disintegrate and lose their value.

Environmentalists contend snag forests provide a rich habitat for dwindling birds, such as the spotted owls and black-backed woodpeckers. There is no science proving the trees will pose a fire hazard, say environmentalists, who point to seedlings as a sign that natural recovery has begun.

The Rim Fire started Aug. 17, 2013, and burned more than 400 square miles of the Stanislaus Na-tional Forest, Yosemite National Park’s backcountry and private timber land. It is the largest wild-fire in recorded history to sweep through California’s Sierra Neva-da mountains and the state’s third largest wildfire. Any plans for logging won’t include Yosem-ite.

After releasing the draft plan on Wednesday, Susan Skalski, su-pervisor of the Stanislaus Nation-al Forest, is expected to sign it on Thursday, making it final.

Federal prosecutors accuse bow hunter Keith Matthew Emer-ald, 32, of starting the massive blaze, when he lost control of an illegal campfire and had to be rescued by helicopter. A grand jury on Aug. 7 returned a four-count indictment against Emer-ald, who lives in the foothills community of Columbia.

The fire destroyed 11 homes and cost more than $125 million to fight.

Emerald, who has pleaded not guilty, was released from jail after posting a $60,000 bond.

c ANADiAN PRESSPRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — A

Saskatchewan man has been found not guilty of drug traffick-ing by arguing that he is simply a very heavy pot smoker.

Devon Douglas Lavallee was charged in August 2013 when he was pulled over by the RCMP for erratic driving near Weldon, near Prince Albert.

Court heard that the officers found nearly half a kilogram of marijuana when they searched Lavallee’s vehicle and even more pot when they searched his home the next day. A Mountie with ex-perience in drug trafficking cases testified that the dope was too much for a recreational user.

Const. Tyson Drabinasty said the “typical user” would not keep such large quantities on hand be-cause marijuana loses its potency

within six months to a year.But Lavallee argued that he’s

been smoking between five and 13 grams a day for 13 years. He said it was to help relieve chronic back pain.

Provincial court Judge Felicia Daunt said in her ruling released Monday that the Crown was un-able to prove beyond a reason-able doubt that Lavallee intended to sell the pot.

Daunt said generally, she found Lavallee to be truthful, but prone to exaggeration.

“Although he didn’t bring any documentary evidence to back up his claim of chronic back pain, I have no reason to disbelieve him,” Daunt wrote.

“He says he smokes a lot of pot. This assertion is bolstered by all the indicia of personal use found in his truck, in his home

and in his garage. He smokes so much that he forgot he had pot left when he went to buy some more.”

Daunt also noted that no scale or cellphone were found in Laval-lee’s home - two items that can be evidence of trafficking.

“The absence of packaging material suitable for distribution in smaller quantities troubles me the most,” said Daunt.

“The Crown theory that the accused buys in half pound quantity and then turns around and sells in half pound quantity is pure speculation, and unsup-ported by any evidence that this is a business model anyone has encountered before.”

However, Lavallee was found guilty of possessing marijuana. The case is due back in court next March.
