An evacuation order, issued in the early hours of Sunday morning, has been lifted for the Kragmont Area (and South) as crews battled a 200-hectare blaze that was discovered on Saturday.

Fires heat up East Kootenay regionTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Crews are currently battling a blaze out in the Baynes Lake area which had forced evacuation orders and alerts over the weekend.

Discovered on Saturday, the fire quickly developed into 200-hectare in size, before crews, including 25 firefight-ers, aircraft and multiple pieces of heavy machinery, went to work.

In addition, volunteer firefighters with the Jaffray and Baynes Lake fire de-partments also responded and worked

through the night to help contain the fire. The RDEK has declared a State of

Local Emergency for the Baynes Lake / Kragmont area and their Emergency Program has been activated to coordi-nate the evacuation orders and alerts, provide Emergency Social Services sup-port to those affected, and provide sup-port to the BC Wildfire Service as they work to contain the fire.

An evacuation order was issued early Saturday morning for residents south of 1347 Waldo Road, including the commu-

nity of Kragmont and an area south of the Elk River. That order was lifted on Sunday, and replaced by an alert, mean-ing residents are encouraged to be ready to leave immediately if required by au-thorities. An alert is also in place for the Baynes Lake area.

A reception centre has been set up at the at the Jaffray Community Hall for those displaced by the evacuation or-ders, with over 150 people registering throughout the night.

Province-wide fire ban issued

TRE VOR CR AWLEYEffective Friday last

week, all open burning, in-cluding campfires and fire-works, will be prohibited throughout the majority of the province, as an-nounced by Steve Thom-son, the Minister of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Min-ister Steve Thomson.

This prohibition will re-main in place until the public is otherwise noti-fied.

This extraordinary step is being taken to help pre-vent human-caused wild-fires and protect public safety. Unseasonably hot and dry weather is being experienced around the province and any prevent-able, human-caused fires divert critical personnel and resources from other incidents. The BC Wildfire Service is responding to over 150 active fires in the province.

“We’re committed to safeguarding B.C.’s fami-lies, natural resources and infrastructure from wild-fires,” said Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Op-erations. “Given the hot and dry conditions in most of the province, we are im-plementing this province-wide campfire ban to help protect our communities.”

This ban applies to:

• open fires of any size, including campfires;

• the use of fireworks, sky lanterns and tiki torch-es;

• burning barrels or burning cages of any size or description;

• the use of binary ex-ploding targets (e.g., for rifle target practice);

• the use of air curtain burners (forced-air burn-ing systems).

Wardner cemetery gets more land

TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The province has given a crown grant of land to the RDEK on behalf of the Wardner Community As-sociation for cemetery ex-pansion.

Announced at a recent RDEK meeting last week, the land, approximately four hectares in size, will go towards future expansion of the cemetery.

“We’ve been working with the province, which is allowing the crown grant, so we’ll get that piece of land and the purpose will be to extend that cemetery, but I think probably their first move will be to get it surveyed, and they have put funds away for that and

that’ll become something they can manage,” said Rob Gay, board chair of the RDEK.

The WCA must survey they land within one year and do an archeological as-sessment, both projects where funding has already been set aside for such pur-pose.

Wardner is just one of many historical cemeteries in the region, along with a site out at Fort Steele and the former boomtown of Fisherville.

“There’s been a ceme-tery in Wardner for a num-ber of years and the com-munity association decid-ed to clean it up,” said Gay.

City using social media network to boost tourismFor the townsman

The City of Cran-brook, along with its partners at The Cham-ber of Commerce and Canadian Rockies In-ternational Airport (YXC), is turning to so-cial media to help fuel the growth of its tour-ism economy.

A Cranbrook Tour-ism social media re-porters’ network has been established within Cranbrook via a part-nership with communi-ty ambassadors. Daily content generated by these ambassadors will be featured on Cran-brook Tourism’s Face-book page. The end re-sult will create addi-tional conversations about the destination and tell people about all the activities and things to do in the area, and ultimately increase travel to the communi-ty.

“We’ve recruited a collection of locals, tourism ambassadors, who will be generating engaging and sharable content so the Cran-brook Tourism’s social media channels can re-alize an increase in on-line activity,” said Kevin Weaver, business & economic development manager for the City of Cranbrook.

Weaver’s office along with the Chamber and YXC have been working diligently over the past six months to formalize Cranbrook Tourism’s efforts, by holding workshops, open hous-

es and meetings with the industry to solidify efforts and form a unit-ed front.

Understanding that Cranbrook as a tourism destination is a new concept for some resi-dents, the city hopes that not only will poten-tial visitors become more inspired about the destination’s many attributes, but also the locals who live within the community.

“We have seen this in other communities with great success,” said project manager Ally-son Blake of Seekers Media. “While generat-ing engaging, enlight-ening and ultimately shareable content on social media, not only does it generate interest

in the destination from afar, but also within the community.”

“For many it’s a light bulb moment to say to themselves “oh yes, we do have lots of interest-ing things going on within the community,” Blake added.

Seekers Media is working with the col-lective to ensure the success of these digital media efforts. Over the past five years, Seekers has helped other com-munities establish award-winning cam-paigns with the help of

social media reporters’ networks across West-ern Canada.

Recently, Forbes Magazine posted this article on the power of tourism advertising and how it may be more in-fluential then we think.

Cranbrook Tour-

ism’s social media re-porters’ network will also work to bring more attention to the Canadi-an Rockies Internation-al Airport, cementing its position as the gate-way to the Kootenays.

“We are excited about this network as it

exposes our airport to long-haul travellers while also reminds lo-cals about the conve-nience factor of YXC,” said Tristen Chernove, Canadian Rockies In-ternational Airport General Manager.

The highway be-tween the Roosville bor-der crossing and Elk River crossing has also been reopened after being closed Saturday night.

There are differences between an evacuation order and an evacuation alert. An evacuation alert is issued when there is an imminent threat to life and proper-ty and people in the de-fined area should be ready to leave on short notice. When an evacu-ation order is issued, people are advised to leave the area immedi-ately.

For residents in the affected area, prepare ahead by organizing an emergency supply kit with necessary prescrip-tion medications, per-sonal toiletries, a change of clothing, insurance papers and other im-portant documents.

Highway 95 between Radium and Golden was closed on Saturday evening, and was open to single lane alternat-ing traffic on Sunday morning due to a fire just north of Spillim-acheen. The fire was es-timated at 50 hectares on Sunday, Turner said. Ten firefighters and a water tender are on site.

The RDEK’s Winder-mere Fire Department Structural Protection Unit has protected two homes with sprinklers, Duczek said. A third home did not require sprinkler coverage.

An evacuation order

remains in place for one home north of Spillim-acheen. Additionally, an alert is in place for the area south of the RDEK Boundary, east of the Columbia River south to Westside Road in Spilli-macheen.

In the West Koote-nay, an evacuation alert has been issued north-east of Nelson. The evacuation alert was is-sued for about 350 homes along Highway 3A between Sitkum Creek South and Willow Point (Six Mile Lakes Road), some 10 kilome-tres northeast of Nelson.

The fire is 60 hectares in size between Du-hamel and Sitkum Creeks, four kilometres north of Kootenay Lake.

“With hot and dry conditions forecast through next week and the potential for more

thunderstorms, the Southeast Fire Centre is urging the public to be extra cautious in the backcountry,” Turner said. “All person-caused fires are preventable and these incidents may affect the ability of the firefighting crews to re-spond to naturally oc-curring fires.

“We are urging the public to continue their participation in report-ing any smoke or flames that they may see. You can report a wildfire by calling 1-800-663-5555, or *5555 on your cellular phone.”

A tree goes up in flames out in the South country as crews battled a blaze out by Baynes Lake over the weekend.

“Which they did and they wanted to expand, so it’s a bit of an oppor-tunity to generate some revenue with people who want to purchase their plot for people who live in the area,”

Gay continued. While there is the

current site proper, Gay also noted that there were are a few gravesite that are located outside the existing property.

“When we went out

to look on the ground, we were walking around the cemetery and we found graves outside of the existing area, on little knolls and stuff—it goes way back,” he said.

“So we decided let’s

encompass this into this new area. The area they have now is suit-able for some years, but this extra four hectares will be good for a long, long time.”

Ombudsperson tapped to probe health firingsJeff NagelBlack Press

Health Minister Terry Lake has asked B.C’s Ombudsperson to lead an investigation into the government’s firing of eight contract-ed health researchers in 2012.

The province has been under fire for weeks for deflecting de-mands for a full public inquiry into what it has admitted was a mistake.

Criticism intensified after the release of RCMP documents that undermined govern-ment claims the re-searchers were under active investigation by police into a possible data security breach.

Six of the eight uni-versity researchers who were assessing pharma-ceutical drugs for Phar-macare coverage have been paid settlements and reinstated, one is suing the government for wrongful dismissal

and another committed suicide.

Lake said in a state-ment he shared the “on-going public interest and concern” and be-lieved new Ombudsper-son Jay Chalke is the right choice to investi-gate further.

The surviving re-searchers and the fami-ly of the deceased have demanded a full public inquiry, but the premier has said that’s problem-atic due to privacy is-sues and potential high costs.

Lake said he is asking the Ombudsperson to “investigate the events leading up to the deci-sion to terminate the employees, the decision to terminate itself, and the actions taken by government following the terminations, in ad-dition to any other mat-ters he may deem wor-thy of investigation.”

when the labour lawyer leading it said she was stymied by restrictive terms of reference.

NDP leader John Horgan called the deci-sion to bring in the Om-budsperson a “positive step” and a major con-cession by the govern-

ment that more investi-gation is needed.

He said Opposition MLAs on the committee that oversees the Om-budsperson will fight for broad terms of refer-ence to determine who ordered the firings and why.

Chalke is a former assistant deputy minis-ter of justice.

Horgan said the NDP will also demand full disclosure of any in-volvement he had in the issue to ensure there’s no perception of conflict of interest.

The Cranbrook Farmer’s Market was bustling Saturday morning as shoppers browsed the selections of fresh bread, vegetables, fruit and many other offerings. The market runs on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. next to Rotary Park.

Health Minister Terry Lake has asked B.C’s Ombudsperson to lead an inves-tigation into the government’s firing of eight contracted health researchers in 2012.

C aNaDIaN PReSSEDMONTON - Near-

ly a decade’s worth of data and observation from an environmental group suggests Alberta’s fragile backcountry is being damaged by un-sustainable off-highway vehicle use.

Ruts deep enough to swallow a man and ero-sion that has relocated streambeds shows that some areas can’t handle motorized traffic even if users do their best to be responsible, says the Al-berta Wilderness Asso-

ciation.“We have photo-

graphs of trenches that are so bad that a person is standing at the bot-tom of it and it’s over their head,” said Sean Nichols, who runs the association’s trail-moni-toring project.

“There are some areas where there are three or even four trails parallel because all but the most recent are es-sentially impassable.”

Since 2003, the asso-ciation has buried traffic sensors at three trail-

heads connecting about 70 kilometres of desig-nated off-highway vehi-cle trails in the Bighorn region in the Alberta foothills southwest of Edmonton. The group has also sent teams up the trails to photograph changes. Its numbers show use has grown sig-nificantly. Although traffic dropped in flood years, the number of ve-hicles on those trails grew from 3,226 in 2007 to 5,544 in 2014.

Monitors also used GPS co-ordinates to

document changes and measure the depth and length of ruts. They found many sections where up to 95 metres in every 100 were carved out at least 30 centime-tres deep.

The erosion gets so bad it diverts stream-beds, said Nichols.

“When the stream gets diverted down the trail, even (conscien-tious) riders end up driving in the streams because that’s where the trail is.”

Nichols said the data

shows trail use during closed periods has actu-ally declined and signs urging riders to stay on marked trails are largely heeded. The problem, he said, is that these trails - and others like them - are in the wrong place to begin with.

“There are areas where one could rea-sonably place trail net-works and it would have a low impact,” he said, adding the Bighorn area problems are common up and down the Alber-ta foothills.

“Lesson: In ancient times, folk sat and stared at the mud walls of their hovels yet didn’t go mad.”

Whenever I start jumping up and down like an aged Wiley Coyote over the rampant commercialism

on TV, my friend Margaret calmly pats me on the head, says ‘tut-tut’ and suggests that I just hit the mute when the commercials intervene. “Just hit the switch and put the kettle on,” she tells me, “and make a nice cup of tea.”

Well, there’s a problem with that oh-so-British panacea for the ills of the world. My aged blad-der can only handle so much tea, even nice cups of it.

But, as it was too hot to cut lawns or even do some-thing sensible out-doors the other day I attempted to watch day-time TV and venture away from Knowledge Network, PBS and my expen-sive paid-for soccer channel, and I am not likely to recover from the shocking experi-ence for some time, maybe never; it was traumatic. I should have cut the lawn and died of heat exhaustion.

I started on channel 2, C.B.C., and watched a news program. It was Adrienne Arsenaux talking about young Canadians who have been radicalized, joined Islamic groups and, often, been killed. Scary and fascinating – then the commercials cut in. Tedious! I remembered Margaret’s advice and made a ‘cuppa’.

Then, when I got back to the program, they were maundering on about changing mores of religion. I skipped to channel 4.

This was about starlets with surprising-ly short skirts and even shorter I.Q.s.  Comment: The difference between a pit-bull and a pregnant woman; lip-stick.

Click. A monstrous black man and a very small ‘whitey’ in front of a basketball net. Neither man’s conversation is intelligi-ble. Click. Golf! I’ve watched snow melting faster. Talk about eagles and birdies. I am not interested in ornithology at this junc-ture. I wonder if there is any more tea in

the pot. Click. Commer-cials.

There was a cup left over. I savour it then go back to my onerous studies.

Baseball. Some of the players are huge. I’ve seen glaciers trundling along faster. Klick. More baseball. 

Click. Vancouver golf tour. Click. Talk of more golf and sudden death in the rough. I feel that death might be imminent.

Knowledge Network. Sneaky commer-cial about this evening’s shows. Hit switch. I am wondering about how much tea a person can actually consume. Tatty beard-ed Tom Mulcair hoping to beat the Con-servatives this fall and ‘build a better Can-ada’. I attempt to be concerned but fail miserably. Click.

Toronto’s Pride Parade in the usual rainy weather. I wonder why people live there. Temporarily, I recall seeing a docu-mentary about the first of the Gay Pride

Parade in New York and hope that they had better weather. Commercials. A fellow attempting to work out what all the but-tons are for on his new car. Been there, done that. Click. Children’s show. Must be another PBS. Click. Weather Channel. I learn that it is now raining outside but don’t bother to look.

  I put the kettle on for another cup of tea. Click. Wrestling. Guys with weird hair-dos doing fakey falls and looking fierce. Referee flattened. I wonder if the refs get paid enough for not reffing and getting flattened. Click. Movie: The U.S. President is getting his ear chewed off by his irate wife. Looks more dangerous than the wresting. I recall the comment about dif-ference between a pregnant woman and a pit-bull. Click.

Aerial views of bucolic England, stuff that real Englishmen hardly ever get to see anymore. Two American kids talking Japa-nese and eating strange stuff with chop-sticks. Click. Commercial about Lube Jobs. Click.

Movie: My Friend’s Wedding. Julia Rob-erts is still gorgeous. Click. Women’s Chan-nel. I think about going out and standing in the rain; it will be a pleasant change. Click. Talk show. Commercials. Click. Visit the friendly confines of the toilet, wonder who on earth watches all that stuff on those hundreds of channels, read a book, any book. Tempus fugit.

Hit switch; all this research has got to me.  Who watches all that stuff?

East Kootenay amateurs embark on provincial pursuitsCranbrook and Kimberley well represented as provincial golf championships get underway

Townsman File PhoTo

Jared du Toit, pictured earlier this season, will compete for the 113th B.C. Amateur title beginning July 12.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

A handful of local amateur golfers have been busy and will con-tinue to swing away in the coming weeks.

The B.C. Women’s Amateur Golf Champi-onship wrapped up in Duncan this past Friday, with Kimberley’s Julia Dereniwsky represent-ing the East Kootenay.

Dereniwsky, a mem-ber of the Kimberley Golf Club, grabbed a top-20 finish with a four-round score of 305 (17-over).

Competitors took to the links at the 6,616-yard Duncan Meadows Golf Course.

Dereniwsky qualified for the annual provin-cial championship after claiming the BCGA Zone 1 Women’s Ama-teur title, hosted at Kim-berley Golf Club, on May 30 and 31.

Michelle Kim of Sur-

rey finished atop the leaderboard after card-ing a four-round score of 285 (three-under).

Dereniwsky’s 17-over finish was good enough for a two-way share of 18th place.

A total of 35 golfers advanced to the final two rounds of action, with a cut coming after the second round of play to thin out the 60-player field.

While Dereniwsky returns from the Wom-en’s Amateur, a handful of others head out across the province for a variety of other provin-cial championships in the coming weeks.

Beginning July 7 at the Park Meadows Golf Course at Osoyoos Golf Club, Russell du Toit will compete for the B.C. Ju-nior Boys’ Champion-ship.

Also beginning July 7, Kimberley’s Alysha Buchy and Kira Dereni-wsky head to Cordova

Bay Golf Course in Vic-toria for the B.C. Junior Girls’ Championships.

Finally, the 113th B.C. Amateur Championship takes place July 14 to 17 at Fairview Mountain Golf Course in Oliver, where Kimberley will be represented by a handful of young linksters.

Jacob Bowes (Trickle Creek Golf Resort), Jared du Toit (Kimberley Golf Club), Russell du Toit (Kimberley Golf Club) and Justin Sawley (Kimberley Golf Club) all take to the course in search of a provincial championship.

Cranbrook’s Scott Merriam (Cranbrook Golf Club) will also head to Oliver in search of the amateur title.

Creston will be repre-sented by a pair of local golfers at the B.C. ama-teur as Karson O’Keefe and Bryan Smithson, both of the Creston Golf Club, tee off at Fairview Mountain.

Handful of Kootenay Ice head to NHL development campsTaylor rocc a

Sports Editor

A handful of Koote-nay Ice head to NHL de-velopment camps this week, looking to pave a path for their pro hock-ey futures.

Having been drafted, Tim Bozon, Jaedon De-scheneau and Rinat Va-liev all head to develop-ment camps with their respective NHL squads, while Luke Philp will at-tend Philadelphia Flyers development camp as a free agent invitee.

Philp was passed over at both the 2014 and 2015 NHL Entry Drafts, but hopes to im-press Flyers brass at the club’s development camp in Voorhees, N.J., from July 7 to 12.

The native of Can-more, Alta., previously attended Toronto Maple Leafs rookie camp during the fall of 2014.

Descheneau, a 2014 fifth-round pick (124th overall) of the St. Louis Blues, heads to St. Louis for prospect camp from July 6 to 9.

The native of Ed-monton has yet to sign an NHL contract, so he heads off with the hopes of earning an entry-level deal.

Bozon, a 2012 third-round pick (64th over-all) of the Montreal Can-adiens, travels to Bros-sard, Que., for Habs de-velopment camp from July 5 to 9.

The native of Val-bonne, France, wrapped up his overage year in the WHL before skating in one game with the Hamilton Bulldogs, Montreal’s AHL affiliate. He is under contract with the Canadiens through the 2016-17 NHL season.

Valiev, a 2014 third-round pick (68th over-

all) of the Toronto Maple Leafs, heads to Toronto and Collingwood, Ont., for Maple Leafs pros-pect camp, which is also slated for July 7 to 12.

After his 2013-14 WHL season concluded, Valiev snuck into two games with the Toronto Marlies, the Maple Leafs’ AHL affiliate.

The native of Nizh-nekamsk, Russia, is under contract with the Maple Leafs through 2017-18.

All three of Desche-neau, Philp and Valiev are eligible to return to the WHL for the 2015-16 season, but Valiev is ex-pected to turn pro, be that with the Maple Leafs or their AHL affili-ate Marlies.

Bozon aged out of ju-nior hockey this past year and will turn pro.

Kootenay Ice train-ing camp is set to open Aug. 30 in Cranbrook.

Kimberley native Wilkins at Flames campTaylor rocc a

Kimberley native Matt Wilkins is in pur-suit of a pro-hockey op-portunity as he attends

development camp with the NHL’s Calgary Flames from July 6 to 10.

The 24-year-old Wilkins, heading into his fourth year with

Union College (NCAA), played two seasons with the Kimberley Dynamit-ers (2007-08 to 2008-09) scoring 40 goals and 44 assists in 91 games.

Dear Annie: My father has always been especially unkind to my sister, “Portia.” She always has had behavioral problems, not to mention she is a bit paranoid and has a ferocious temper. Portia also drinks too much and continues to contact her abusive ex-boyfriend.

My older sister and I try to show Portia lots of love, but Dad usually deals with her problems with anger, insults and general vitriol. Though he has occasionally shown her support over the years, he usually sin-gles her out as the “problem” child. There have been times when he has screamed and even intervened physically when my sisters have fought, always pinning the blame on Portia.

Recently, Dad’s anger has grown and he reacts testily to every comment or ques-tion Portia makes. He even reacts poorly to my mother, and is now talking about moving in with his sister in another state until his depression and anxiety subside.

Dad’s behavior seems really disturb-ing to me and borders on abuse. Yet my mother submits over and over to his anger. What should we do? -- Afraid of Escalation

Dear Afraid: There’s not much you can do for your mother, who doesn’t see this as a serious problem. She is accustomed to Dad’s moods and prefers to avoid con-frontation. Would your father see a doctor about his depression and anxiety instead of waiting for them to “subside” on their own? Portia’s issues may be genetically linked to her father’s, and she also is likely to benefit from both medical intervention and therapy.

If your father wishes to move in with his sister for a while, then that will provide an opportunity for everyone to calm down. Dad obviously recognizes that he has a problem and that a little distance can help. Perhaps his sister will convince him to talk to his doctor.

Dear Annie: I’m responding to “Feeling Unloved,” the divorced dad whose teen-aged kids don’t seem to want to spend time with him:

First and foremost, if your kids are an-gry or resentful, encourage them to talk about it and simply listen without being defensive or blaming the other parent. It hurts, and it’s hard to hear, but it’s what they need. They are kids navigating a difficult situation they feel powerless to change.

Second, remember that they are teenagers. Most teenagers can be a bit self-centered and focused on friends rath-er than family.

Finally, don’t expect them to call you. Invite them places, even if it’s out for piz-za. And if they decline, then ask them when would be a good time. And don’t give up. It will get better. -- G.

Dear G.: Thank you for your sage ad-vice. Navigating parenthood with teenag-ers is already complicated, and divorce adds to the difficulty. If the parents were living together, they could see the situa-tion more clearly, but separated, they ar-en’t certain what’s going on. They some-times blame the child or the other parent for a change in the relationship, but often it is simply growing pains. Teenagers re-quire a revised playbook.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Take your time when making decisions; some confusion seems to surround a situation. Events involving your personal life might enter your mind at inopportune moments. Though you might want to be direct and take on the matter, is that the best way? Tonight: Read be-tween the lines.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Others might misread a state-ment. However, you see the same message in the best possi-ble light. Any attempt to rein in a friend who seems to be wear-ing rose-colored glasses will most likely fail. Go where your efforts count. Tonight: Avoid a conflict that is not yours. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Allow more creativity into the moment. A financial matter could be beyond your ability to handle. Go to someone in the know and get some feedback. A boss might be a visionary, but does his or her vision really work? Keep your thoughts to yourself for now. Tonight: All

smiles.CANCER (June 21-July 22)You’ll be able to see where someone is coming from by looking at his or her actions. In fact, you will like this person’s way of handling a personal matter. You see life from a dif-ferent perspective. Your vision of what is possible could be challenged. Tonight: Avoid a skirmish.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)A partner will have a lot to share. You expect some far-out ideas from this person, but what you hear could surprise you. You might experience some difficulty with your schedule or with a health matter. Is it time for a checkup? Tonight: Listen to someone else’s story.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Defer to someone else, and you might be taken aback by how different his or her approach is. Open up to new possibilities, and remain in touch with this person’s needs. Avoid a conflict or a power play with a loved one over long-term desires. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You could be surprised by your lack of organization right now. Open up to new possibilities that head your way. Understand what is happening with a loved one, but opt not to get into a conflict. You might be quite un-comfortable with the situation. Tonight: Pace yourself.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Reach out for more information. You might not be getting the whole story, which could result in a faulty decision. Choose your words with care; otherwise, you could anger someone. Tap into your creativity and look at the big picture. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Tension builds. Remember that often it is a fundamental judgment you make about a situation that results in stress. Use caution with money agree-ments. Try not to sign any contracts, and be sure to count your change. You will be much happier as a result. Tonight: Head home.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You might be more demanding than you realize. If you find yourself in the middle of an ar-

gument, ask yourself why you are pushing others so hard; that attitude no longer works. Make amends by explaining the vision behind what you are fighting for. Tonight: Hang out and relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)If you would rather go off and do something spontaneous, do so. You might need to work through the pros and cons of a potential argument first. Remember, everyone sees sit-uations differently. When you return, you will be able to han-dle this matter. Tonight: Dinner for two.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You might be able to bypass a hassle today, but is it possible that this issue could emerge again later on? Your imagina-tion will allow you to do the im-possible when working with an idea. Others enjoy your ingenu-ity and how it helps in various situations. Tonight: Just be you.BORN TODAYActor Sylvester Stallone (1946), former U.S. President George W. Bush (1946), Dalai Lama (1935)***

Nutri-Flex

Ease Summer Joint Pain and Promote Healing

Nutri-Flex

People suffering from painful joints welcome safe ways to ease the pain and promote healing. Alternative remedies are becoming preferred choices as people want more than band-aid relief.

Several nutrients – MSM, glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate – have taken the spotlight and the research on each looks promising indeed. Based on this explosive research, Natural Factors has formulated a superior remedy that includes all three nutrients for triple joint support.

By combining all three nutrients, Natural Factors has gone one step further. Unlike over-the-counter painkillers, MSM, glucosamine sulfate and chondroi-tin sulfate, is not just a band-aid for aching, painful joints. These nutrients work synergistically to start the healing process while they address the pain.

We suggest that everyone suffering from debilitating joint disease acquaint themselves with the research on these nutrients. Talk to your health care practi-tioner about adding them to a program that includes healthy nutrition and exercise.

ASSOCIATED PRESSBONN, Germany -

The San Antonio Mis-sions in Texas have been awarded world heritage status by the U.N.’s cul-tural body.

UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee ap-proved the listing Sun-day of the five Spanish

Roman Catholic sites built in the 18th century in and around what is now the city of San An-tonio.

Spain used the mis-sions to convert indige-nous people to Catholi-cism and make them Spanish subjects.

The best known of

the missions is The Alamo, site of the 1836 battle.

The missions were the only site in the Unit-ed States proposed for world heritage status at this year’s UNESCO meeting in Bonn, Ger-many.

More than a dozen

other sites have also been granted world her-itage status in recent days, including Singa-pore’s Botanical Gar-dens, the Diyarbakir Fortress in Turkey and France’s champagne in-dustry region.

ASSOCIATED PRESSSEASIDE HEIGHTS,

N.J. - A large wave washed out the Fourth of July fireworks show in a Jersey shore commu-nity. Seaside Heights of-ficials say a wave ran so far up the shore on Sat-urday night that it soaked all the fireworks

set up on the beach.Town officials say the

fireworks were set up closer to the surf than usual this year in an ef-fort to satisfy state regu-lations requiring specta-tors be kept a specific distance away from the fireworks. They say beach erosion caused

by Superstorm Sandy has made fulfilling this requirement a challenge in recent years.

Some residents and others took to social media to complain about the cancellation.

The town plans to stage a makeup show on Sunday night.

ASSOCIATED PRESSEAU CLAIRE, Mich.

- A 15-year-old Michi-gan girl said there was nothing special about the way she spit a cherry pit Saturday.

“I just took a deep breath and pushed hard,” said Megan Ank-rapp of Buchanan, whose pit landed at 49 feet, 1/4 inch - longest of the day at the 42nd an-nual contest in south-western Michigan.

“I was shocked,” she said.

Megan won the women’s category but didn’t participate in the overall championship round because her ear-lier spits were too short to qualify.

The championship spit-off was claimed by Kevin Bartz of Niles with a winning distance of 48 feet, 8 inches. He was followed by 2014 champ Brian Krause at 48 feet.

“Here I was all excit-ed to finally beat the Krause family and I look up and say, ‘Wait a min-

ute. One of the girls beat me,”’ said Bartz, 48. “It’s not quite as exciting.”

A member of the Krause family has won 26 events since farm owner Herb Teichman began the contest in 1974, partly to celebrate the region’s tart cherry harvest. Brian Krause holds the record spit of 93 feet, 6 1/2 inches, set in 2003.

The event is held at Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire, 110 miles east of Chicago.

ASSOCIATED PRESSMOSCOW - An un-

manned Russian cargo ship has docked suc-cessfully at the Interna-tional Space Station, where it was anxiously awaited by the U.S.-Rus-sian crew after the suc-cessive failures of two previous supply mis-sions.

The Progress M-28M ship, which is carrying

2.5 metric tons of fuel, oxygen, water, food and other supplies, was launched into orbit on Friday from the Baikonur launch pad in Kazakhstan. Russian Mission Control said it docked successfully Sunday in the automat-ed mode at the orbiting space station.

The previous Prog-ress launch in April had

ended in failure and a week ago a U.S. supply mission failed when SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket broke apart shortly after liftoff.

The mishaps were preceded by last Octo-ber’s launch pad failure of Orbital Sciences’ An-tares rocket, also carry-ing station cargo for NASA.
