Koocanusa played host to a 1,000-person strong music festival on the Canada Day long weekend.

FozzyFest, a three-

day-long electronic music festival, was held at Big Springs camp-ground at Tobacco Plains Indian Band from June 28 to July 1.

It was a last-minute scramble to host the

event at Koocanusa. In its ninth year, FozzyFest — named with the nick-name of one of the key organizers, Shawn Laf-leur — has always been held beside a river on Crown land in Kanan-

askis country, Alberta. But everything fell

apart for organizers one week before the event when flooding hit south-east B.C. and southern Alberta.

“We thought it

wouldn’t be a big deal, that the roads would open up. The river might move a little bit, but we thought everything would be fine,” said managing director Dar-ryl Stanat.

Koocanusa hosts flooded out FozzyFestOrganizers make lemonade out of lemons by moving festival from flooded Kananaskis to Grasmere, three days before it started

But five days before the event was set to begin, they realized there was no way they could reach the location.

“It became apparent after trying to get down there several times from

all different angles that the whole area was shut down. Every road in there was washed out – literally, gone. It was just a big gap in the road.

On Thursday, July 11, Dana Larsen got the go-ahead to use

the province’s unique initia-tive legislation to propose a law that would decriminalize pot by preventing police from enforcing simple possession laws. Larsen and his Sensible BC campaign two months to sign up canvassers and pre-pare to start collecting signa-

started touring the province to get a team in place, and was in Cranbrook Thursday evening, where he took some time to speak to the Daily Townsman.

“This is definitely an issue whose time has come,” Larsen

said. “But it is very challenging to get all the signatures we need to get on the ballot. We’ve been working on this for several months now, in terms of building support, getting awareness out there.”

Mosquito season is upon us in many places and right around the corner in others, so it’s a good time to find out what Cranbrook is doing in preparation.

The municipality contracts out the job to Morrow BioScience Ltd, a company out of North Vancouver that special-izes in mosquito con-trol. Locally, Kendra Lewis is area co-ordina-tor and technician of the Cranbrook leg of the program.

Lewis said around this time, the biggest thing residents can do to reduce mosquito activi-ty, is clean up yards and gutters. The downpours of late provide the per-fect breeding grounds for mosquitos.

Lewis said things like wheelbarrows, water barrels, water dishes that pets aren’t using

and ponds that don’t have fish in them are prime places for mos-quitos to proliferate.

“Anything that holds water, that’s what peo-ple should be looking at in their own yards,” Lewis said, adding that all of the big sites around Cranbrook have been treated a few times now.

“Our sites are clear, it’s just stuff within the city that we need people to work on right now,” she said. “It’s definitely been a bad mosquito year, but we’ve kept on top of it, that’s for sure.”

Lewis said she has killed a lot of larvae al-ready this season, and attributes the high num-bers to last year’s high water as well. She noted a lot of egg-laying went on and all of her perma-nent sites, sometimes seeing 200 larvae per sample dip.

Wild West Wednesday

Dinner in the Koote-nay’s will never be the same when it involves a train heist!

Help protect the good folks at Fort Steele Heri-tage Town from bandits who threaten the peace and tranquility of an eve-ning train ride. Call on the Mountie in his red serge to save the day! Wild West Wednesday events ride again this summer and you don’t want to miss it.

Enjoy a casual home style buffet dinner at the International Hotel, where the action begins, and before you know it you are fully involved in a straight-shooting, mystery-building, farce that finishes in a flourish during an evening ex-cursion on Fort Steele’s own steam train! This all inclusive package is being offered on Wednesday nights July 24, August 7, and 21 only, so you don’t want to miss out!

The International Hotel houses Fort Steele’s main, family style restaurant. Dinner

for this event will be ca-sual cowboy fare, buffet style. The International Hotel is a reconstruc-tion of the original Inter-national Hotel that was built on the same site during Fort Steele’s boom of 1897. Interior decorations represent similar hotel décor from the era. Enjoy good home style cooking with a heritage ambience.

Today, Fort Steele has revived the railway history of the region with its established steam train excursions. The railway bypassed Fort Steele in 1898 and went through Cran-brook signalling Fort Steele’s decline. By 1912, a CPR line was built in the area but it was too late to save the town. Fort Steele Heri-tage Town is pleased to offer train rides, with lo-comotive 1077, as part of its heritage experi-ence. Rides are offered daily through July and August only.

When was the last time you had a night out on the town — at Fort Steele Heritage Town, that is? Well, join the good folks in town this summer for Saturday

with a wonderful buffet dinner in the Interna-tional Hotel, followed by a special performance of the theatre’s main-stage summer produc-tion of The Great Cattle Caper. A steam train ride completes your night out with a tour round the train loop while the sun dips lower on the horizon. This all inclusive package is being offered on Satur-day nights July 20, Au-gust 10, 17, and 31 only, so you don’t want to miss out!

The Great Cattle Caper is being per-formed at Fort Steele’s Wild Horse Theatre this summer. There’s a cattle rustler in town and

Johnny, the ranch own-er’s son, is the prime suspect. Can he find the real culprit and prove to the sheriff, and every-one else in town, that he is innocent?

Saturday Night On The Town

Tickets for these events are $40 for adults, $20 for children 6 to 12, and 5 years and younger pay their age. Call 250-417-6000 to purchase your tickets today. Lim-ited seating so call now! Be sure to check out www.fortsteele.ca for more information about these and other special events and activities being offered at Fort Steele Heritage Town this summer.

There are bandits in them there woodsSummer sizzles at Ft. Steele Heritage Town with a host of events

Night on the Town and enjoy the leisure of a summer evening with close family and friends, the Fort Steele way.

Your evening begins

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

“Five days before the event we came to the re-alization that we were either going to have to move the event or can-cel it,” said Stanat.

So organizers drafted emails to suppliers, tal-ent, and vendors, ready to cancel the event. They planned to pull the switch at 4 p.m. on Tues-day, June 25.

In the meantime, Stanat and another or-ganizer began a mad scramble to find a new location in time.

“We had Monday and Tuesday to drive all around to try to find a new venue. We drove to five different venues, from Saskatchewan to Sundre to Cochrane to

this final location on Koocanusa. We found it at about 3 p.m. on the Tuesday, an hour before we were going to cancel the event,” said Stanat.

They met with To-bacco Plains’ Debra Ko-taluk, and in the space of one hour, they managed to work together and find a way for the event to be hosted at Big Springs.

“They had already rented out some of the campground to other campers, and they have some permanent camp-ers who live at the site,” said Stanat.

“Debra was super helpful in reorganizing those campers and get-ting contacts for us in all

those services that we had to adjust – drinking water, port-a-potties, power generators.”

Stanat said that with the help of friend Dano Cutts, whose family live in Baynes Lake, they managed to source sup-pliers from around the East Kootenay to fill in at the last minute.

“We made a concert-ed effort to find services locally, and we were able to do that in two days, which is remark-able,” said Stanat.

And so the festival went on. Three stages were set up in the camp-site – one on the beach and two among the trees.

“Everybody was pleased that we were

FozzyFest, attended by 1,000, found a new location at Koocanusa, minutes before a deadline to cancel the event. FozzyFest is usually held in Kananaskis, but floods forced either the event’s relocation or cancellation.

FozzyFest flees west after fierce floodsable to find a venue and still put on the event. When they saw the new venue, they fell in love,” said Stanat.

“It’s an amazing venue. There are lots of shady areas here. It’s a beautiful campground

with a beautiful beach and lake.”

After receiving noise complaints on the first night, organizers even agreed to reduce the ca-pacity of its sound sys-tem by 50 per cent after midnight.

RCMP visited the site and were satisfied that organizers had appro-priate first aid and secu-rity measures in place.

Now, FozzyFest may be held at Koocanusa regularly, Stanat said.

“We still have a lot of

negotiating to do and talking to all the differ-ent people that would be involved. But we are hopeful that we will be able to do it in the same venue again because it went off spectacularly.”

Megan ColeStarbelly Jam Music

Festival is days away from inviting festival goers back to Crawford Bay Park for another great weekend of music.

Event organizers are preparing for their 14th annual all-ages festival.

This year’s line-up includes Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, Blue King Brown, Mexico City’s Antidoping, Aesop Rock with Rob Sonic and DJ Big Wiz, Kimya Dawson, Buckman Coe, and more.

This year’s festival will also showcase a great selection of Koote-nay talent such as Cran-brook’s The Good Ol’ Goats, Nelson’s DJ Rip-pel with LA’s Droop Ca-pone, Swing Theory,

Bessie and the Back Ed-dies and Tofu Stravin-sky, Creston’s Tiizak Hamra, and the East Shore’s own Tipi Camp Tribute Ensemble and The Arcane Garden.

But what makes Star-belly Jam the ultimate all-ages festival is the activities and entertain-ment for the younger attendees.

Watch for the Rain-bow Cirque Tent on the festival grounds where Starchild Entertainment will be gathering kids throughout the week-end for shows and pa-rades. There will also be a crafting extravaganza in the kids’ crafts area, the Rainbow Country bubble blowing zone and misting station, and lots of workshops and

fun for kids young and old all weekend.

“Planning entertain-ment for the kids and teens that come out to Starbelly is just as im-portant to us as making sure there are great mu-sical acts for the adults,” said Lea Belcourt, Star-belly’s artistic director. “That’s what makes us the Kootenay’s best all-ages festival, we are trying to create the best experience for everyone that comes through the gates. “Even though the festival is just days away it is not too late to pick up tickets.

After the torrential rains at the end of June, many backcountry for-est service roads are in very poor condition, with bridge washouts, landslides and erosion.

The Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations put out a warning on July 11 — Backcountry travel limited at this time due to extensive road damages. Many locations have not been inspected for damage and may be unsafe. Take extreme caution when using damaged areas.

Don’t expect much of the damage to be re-paired any time soon says Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald.

He says that the rains in June have simply ex-acerbated an ongoing problem of lack of main-

tenance on the prov-ince’s forest service roads.

Damage to these roads in the East Koote-nay alone is estimated to run at about $5.5 mil-lion, Macdonald said, and the money is not there to fix them.

“There has been an ongoing decline in maintenance of these roads,” Macdonald said. “It’s an ongoing prob-lem. With this storm, we have roads washed out and, in some cases, for-estry equipment trapped at the end of them.

“So $5.5 million worth of work needs to be done and the govern-ment is saying the Pro-vincial Emergency Pro-gram will handle it.”

Macdonald says PEP funding will likely not come through until Sep-tember or October, so many forestry compa-nies are repairing the

East Kootenay forest service roads in dire

state, MLA says

roads themselves to get access to their heavy equipment, hoping to submit the bills to PEP.

But most roads will

simply not be fixed at all.

“They just don’t have the money here locally to fix these roads,” Mac-

donald said. “Mainte-nance of these roads was an issue without the storm. That just pushed it forward.”

We’ve got a lot of people who are very ex-cited about this and want to make a differ-ence, and we’ll just have to see if we can get over the top and get the 400,000-odd signatures that we need,” Larsen said.

To succeed, Larsen must collect the signa-tures of 10 per cent of registered voters in each of the province’s 85 rid-ings by November. That would either force a vote in the legislature or a p r o v i n c e w i d e , non-binding referen-dum.

“It’s a very difficult challenge,” Larsen said. “We only have 90 days to

collect those signatures, and we start that clock on September 9. So be-tween now and then our main focus is to pre-reg-ister canvassers, so that we have a lot of canvass-ers in place to collect those signatures when the time comes.”

B.C.’s initiative legis-lation, which was suc-cessfully used to kill the province’s harmonized sales tax two years ago, allows any voter to bring forward proposed legis-lation in the form of a petition.

Larsen is expecting a broad cross-section of society to support this one.

“A lot of our volun-

teers don’t use marijua-na, they’re people who just care about this issue,” he said. “They may not happen to use it themselves. We do have a challenge — some people feel stigmatized, and are afraid to come out — they might lose their job or have issues if they support this cause, which is really unfortu-nate for a political cause to have some of that stigma attached to it.

“There are a lot of British Columbians who are excited about this,” Larsen continued. “We’ve got several thou-sand people who say they want to volunteer. We’ve got a broad base of widespread support. Our polling shows that even a majority of Con-servative Party voters in British Columbia sup-port the provisions of our legislation, so our challenge is really an or-ganizational one.”

Larsen agrees that recent events in the United States have fu-elled the current con-versation in Canada.

“The votes to legalize in Washington and Col-orado through a very similar ballot initiative, a referendum process, is very inspiring to us,” he said. “Seventeen other American states have le-galized medical mari-juana in the same way, through public referen-dums, and although this issue has broad support in B.C., our political leaders don’t seem will-ing to tackle it. That’s what the referendum system is for. We do have broad support for this. So we’ll just have to see how it unfolds.”

Larsen’s current tour, including the stop in Cranbrook, is just to get the volunteers and me-chanics of the initiative in place.

“The HST campaign

had about about 6,000 registered canvassers. We figure we’re going to need somewhere in the same amount to really get this thing going. So we’re inviting people to fill out the form, get reg-

istered as a canvasser now, so when Septem-ber 9 comes you got the big army built and can really hit the ground running and make this thing a success.”

Changes to provin-cial and federal mari-juana laws would be a economic boon, Larsen says.

“We would save $10.5 million a year to begin with, just if we stopped arresting peo-ple and charging them for marijuana posses-sion. And then further, we could easily bring in several hundred million dollars a year through some kind of a legally regulated and taxed marijuana system. Our initiative is to decrimi-nalize possession. That’s something the province can do, but we’re also calling on the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition so that B.C. can imple-

ment some kind of a regulation system — something similar to what we have now for alcohol and tobacco.”

If a petition collects enough valid signatures, it is then sent to a legis-lative committee — which, in this case, would be dominated by the governing Liberal party.

The committee can either send the petition directly to the legisla-ture for consideration or ask Elections BC to hold a provincewide referen-dum, which would re-quire both a majority of voters across the prov-ince to approve the pro-posal, as well as majori-ties in two-thirds of the province’s ridings.

Larsen said anyone who wants to help out and become a canvass-er, or who is looking for more information should visit the website at sensiblebc.ca.

million dollars a year through some kind

Dana Larsen

She said they do a lot of work around the community forest, Idle Wild, Echo Fields and at the breakaways around Elizabeth Lake, though not the lake itself.

“We don’t treat Eliz-abeth Lake, because we don’t have a problem with it,” she said.

“Everywhere that I treated this year has lots (of larvae),” she said.

Mosquito eggs can lay dormant for up to seven years, she said, so

with the water fluctuat-ing like it has been, they have done multiple treatments.

Mosquitoes go through four stages of development: egg, lar-vae, pupa and adult. When eggs come into contact with water during the spring and summer months, they hatch into larvae. The larvae feed on plant material and develop into pupae, which later become adult mosqui-toes. After mating, fe-male mosquitoes search for blood to complete the egg devel-opment stage. Morrow BioScience Ltd. directs efforts at the larvae stage.

To kill they use a product called Aquabac 200G, a granular mos-quito larvicide. It con-tains a naturally occur-ring bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis israelen-sis (Bti) which targets the larvae, but doesn’t harm birds, mammals, amphibians or other in-sects. The larvicide can be applied by hand, blower or helicopter.

The city also encour-aged home and proper-ty owners curb mosqui-to development by re-moving sources of standing water from around the home. Some suggestions:

• Clogged gutters;• Flower pot trays;• Outside pet dishes;• Kids’ pools, toys;• Bird baths, feeders;• Canoes/boats, tires

Getting the communities outsideK a i t y B r o w nTownsman Staff

Five Kimberley students have earned the oppor-tunity to go to Squamish to a program that teach-es them the importance

of staying fit and how to be leaders in their community, and encour-aging their peers and others in the community to do the same.

The cities chosen for the collab-orative youth leadership work-shop were Victoria, Vancouver,

Hope, Kelowna, Prince George and Kimberley.

The programs goals are to em-powering youth to become lead-ers in their community to encour-age others and in the process make them even stronger out-door-enthusiasts than they al-ready are.

The trip to Squamish will con-nect our Kimberley kids to other passionate youth in the other five cities, giving them the tools they need so that when they get back they can work on collaborative

events, plus their own events, to inspire Kimberley to get outside again.

The youth summit goes from Saturday, July 13, to Wednesday, July 17. Participants will meet new friends, hone their leadership and organizational skills and learn to become even more passionate about the beautiful backyard that is Kimberley.

Lori Joe, the regional coordina-tor for this project, has been help-ing prepare the kids and has faith that they will come back from the

trip with even more passion than they have already.

“I think they will get a better sense of how to create a program and how to recruit people and take ownership of it.”

Rob MacDonald, from B.C. Parks, has gotten involved with the project too, passionate about doing anything he can to help out.

“I just wanted to know more about it. So I went on the website and read up on it and I was really excited about the whole program.”

Kimberley is one of six cities to be chosen for GET OUTSIDE BC. Five local youth are going to Squamish for a five-day trip full of workshops to learn about how to encourage others to stay fit in their community .

What do you think about staying fit in different seasons, particularly winter vs. summer? Do you think there is much of a difference or that one is more challenging than the other?

Staying fit should be important to everyone but winter can bring some interesting challenges, espe-cially to a person who is trying to stay active. In Kimberley, instead of less activities, the snow opens up new opportunities such as down-hill and cross country skiing just to name a couple. Your lifestyle really dictates your fitness level but if you have the right mindset, winter shouldn’t cause any problems at all.

A lot of people are very busy and some even have jobs where they are in an office all day. How do you think busy people would be able to incorporate getting outdoors into their schedules? And why is it im-portant to stay active even when you are busy?

The Get Outside BC project is about getting youth in our commu-nity outside and enjoying outdoor activities. When kids grow up learning to enjoy the outdoors they tend to continue that in their adult lives. Simple things like going for a hike in the evening or on weekends with the family cam be beneficial to everyone in the family both mentally and physically.

Do you think people in your genera-tion are fairly active and involved in the outdoors? Why or why not?

I like to think my generation is fair-ly balanced when it comes to out-door activity. Most of us balance our hours spent outside with the hours we spend on the televi-sion. Although some of us choose to only stay inside on beautiful sunny days. With Get Outside BC I hope to gain the ability to help my generation get outside and to gain the skills needed to be able to keep a healthy lifestyle.

What do you think are some of the challenges in trying to create outdoor activities where people of all fitness levels can participate together?

I think some on the challenges could be the way people look at them-selves. They may be too embar-rassed, think they wouldn’t be able to do it, or think that is too easy for them. That could be one problem and another could be doing an ac-tivity that is quite easy and simple but that might limit it to only the average people not the more fit peo-ple. There is ways around this, for example, when you create an activi-ty you make different events and different levels of difficulties, that way everyone is incorporated. The only problem with this is could be a lot to organize and it could turn out to be a disaster if people of every fitness level don’t get an activity that fits them.

What do you think the differences are between trying to stay fit in a small town like Kimberley and a big city?

In my opinion the differences are mainly just the terrain between a big city and a place like Kimber-ley, determination and drive is what keeps people in shape and I think Kimberley just has more of an abundance of people wanting to stay fit and healthy. There may be more opportunity in a place like Kimberley, but if you truly wanted to maintain your fitness in a larger city you would find a way to do it. Everyone has oppor-tunity to stay fit, it just depends how important they think their fitness is.

Two East Kootenay-raised pianists will return to Cran-brook next month for a one-off recital.

Emily Grieve of Cranbrook and Jesse Plessis of Sparwood met at the University of Leth-bridge while pursuing a Bach-elor of Music degree.

A few years after graduat-ing, the pair of East Kootenay classical pianists will reunite for a series of concerts in B.C., including one at Cranbrook United Church on August 20 at 7 p.m.

“Emily will be playing some works by Bach and a piece by Liszt called “Un Sospiro” (“Sigh”) which is a very diffi-cult and famous virtuoso piece,” Jesse explained.

“I’m going to play Book II of the “Preludes” by Claude Debussy – our concert is just two days from his birthday – which is a collection of 12 very stunning piano pieces which touch on many varied sub-jects, mostly fantastic and childhood-themes like Peter Pan, clowns, mermaids, an-cient Egypt, and fireworks.

“I’m also going to to play the Op. 119 Piano Pieces by Johannes Brahms. When I was in grades 10 and 11 I studied with a teacher in Kimberley named Arne Sahlen, and he loved Brahms so much. In every lesson he was talking about Brahms so often, about how he’s the perfect mixture of intuition and craftsmanship. In those lessons I assimilated

that love of Brahms, and the Op. 119 Piano Pieces repre-sent one of the highest pinna-cles of music for me,” said Jesse.

Since graduating from the University of Lethbridge, Emily and Jesse have gone their separate ways. Emily teaches at the Alberta College Conservatory of Music in Ed-monton, and works as an ac-companist.

Jesse just finished a Master of Music at Brandon Universi-ty in Manitoba. He is presently studying under prominent pi-anists Norma Fisher at the Royal College of Music in Lon-don.

The concert is open to all; admission is by donation.

Edward Snowden, a former contractor to the US Central Intelligence Agency, has been trapped in the transit lounge

of Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow for the past two weeks, while the United States gov-ernment strives mightily to get him back in its clutches. Last week it even arranged for the plane flying Bolivian President Eve Morales home from Moscow to be diverted to Vienna and searched, mistakenly be-lieving that Snowden was aboard.

Former US army intelli-gence analyst Bradley Manning is already in the US government’s clutches. Having endured 1,100 days of solitary confinement, he is now on trial for “aiding the enemy” by passing a quar-ter-million US embassy messages, Afghan-istan and Iraq war logs, detainee assess-ments from Guantanamo and videos of US attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq to the WikiLeaks website.

These two American whistle-blowers have a lot in common. They are both young idealists who had access to the inner workings of the US “security com-munity”, and were appalled by what they learned. Their intentions were good, but their fate may be harsh. (Bradley faces life in prison without parole.) And there is one big difference between them.

Bradley, the more naive of the two, was shocked by facts that more experienced observers take for granted: that govern-ments, including the US government, rou-tinely lie to their citizens, their allies, and the world, and that armies at war, includ-ing the US army, sometimes commit terri-ble crimes.

So he published a mountain of evi-dence that substantiated those lamentable truths. That greatly angered the US govern-

ment, and he will probably pay a heavy price for it. The US government wants its secrets, especially the most shameful ones, to stay secret, and its extraordinary vindic-tiveness towards Bradley is intended to deter others from blowing the whistle.

Edward Snowden, on the other hand, has exposed something that even experienced observers did NOT take for granted: that the US government has created a massive apparatus for discovering everybody else’s secrets. Under the cover of the “war on terror”, it has been secretly trawling

the telecommunications networks of the whole world for information not just on terrorism, but on any other subject that affects its interests.

Never mind the hypocrisy of this. (American secrets are sacred, but the Unit-ed States has the right to know everybody else’s.) It’s the sheer scale and brazen arro-gance of the operation that are so stun-ning. Exhibit A is the PRISM programme, whose very existence was a secret until Snowden spilled the beans early last month.This programme, run by the Na-tional Security Agency, began in 2007. It collects data from all nine major American internet giants – Microsoft, Apple, Face-book, Google, Skype, etc. – and they are not allowed to reveal the fact that they are passing the data to the US government.

In the first instance, it’s mostly traffic analysis: who is talking to whom? But if the traffic pattern sparks the NSA’s interest (or if the US government wants to know the content of the messages for other reasons), then the spies can read the actual messag-es. And, as you would expect, PRISM didn’t just stay focused on “terrorism” for very long.

The NSA started using its new tools, and some older ones, to spy on foreign

governments and companies, including those of America’s allies. “We hack net-work backbones - like huge internet rout-ers, basically - that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thou-sands of computers without having to hack every single one,” Snowden told the South China Morning Post in late June.

US citizens resident in the United States are allegedly exempt from having their messages read without a court order (but the court is secret, too). Unless, of course, American citizens communicate with peo-ple living outside the US, in which case they are fair game.

Americans, on the whole, are remark-ably untroubled by the NSA’s actions. Al-most a million people work in the US sec-urity industry, and most of those jobs would disappear if Americans did not be-lieve that “terrorism” is the greatest threat facing their country. So the industry works very hard to sell them this fiction, and most of them accept it.

Foreigner governments, by contrast, are very angry. The countries targeted by the NSA included not just obvious candidates like China and Russia, but US allies like France, Italy, Greece, Japan and South Korea.

But foreign protests will not force a shut-down of the PRISM programme. At most, it will be renamed and re-hidden. The US government gains major advan-tages by knowing everybody else’s secrets, and the million people in the “security community” are a huge domestic lobby.

Manning and Snowden have done the world a service by exposing the US govern-ment’s illicit actions past and present, but Manning’s future is probably life imprison-ment, Snowden’s a life in exile (if he’s lucky). No good deed goes unpunished.

OpiniOn/EvEntsLetters to the editor

after 21 yearsWe’ve made the decision to downsize

and live closer to family in Nelson. It won’t be easy to say good-bye to Cran-brook, which has been our home for the last 21 years. Both Chris and I have felt connected to our community through our work in the school district, involvement with the United Way, Cranbrook and Dis-trict Community Foundation, Arthritis Society, Aqanttanam Housing Society, Cranbrook & District Restorative Justice Society, the Quilter’s Guild and our church community

In 2008 we joined a handful of like-minded citizens who began to pay closer attention to decisions our City Council was making. We joined Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook and began learn-ing more about Smart Growth principles and discussing what kind of city and re-gion we collectively wanted to call home.

As we became aware of our City Coun-cil’s plans to request an expansion of our boundaries, CLC sprang into action. We canvassed our neighborhoods, informing others about the implications of this re-quest. We got more that the required sig-natures to encourage our Council to hold a referendum so citizens could express ourselves. Despite some acrimonious debate, Cranbrook citizens spoke in fa-vour of halting urban sprawl.

Since that referendum, we feel we have lived in a healthier community – a place where there is now room for more points of view to be voiced and expressed. During the early 21st century in Cran-brook, we felt people were positioned and labeled as either for the City Council’s di-rection or against it. We felt if we didn’t agree with Council, we didn’t have a voice and were dismissed as one of the naysay-ers

We believe we’re leaving a more vi-brant Cranbrook today than five years ago. Divergent opinions can be expressed and explored without people being branded. There is more balance on City Council with different voices speaking and creative ideas being allowed to

emerge. We want to encourage Cran-brook to maintain this balance. We see CLC contributing to this. It hasn’t always been a smooth path and our Councillors deserve credit for the courage to express their views even if they aren’t the majori-ty’s view.

Cranbrook is a great city. The poten-tial is limitless. There are so many possi-bilities, opportunities and challenges that lay ahead. To arrive at what’s best for the city and all the citizens will require de-bate, divergent ideas and resolutions. Only one agenda should not prevail. Rather there will need to be compromise, acceptance of others’ viewpoints and de-cisions. Our greatest wish and hope for Cranbrook is that there is room for diver-gent opinions and discussion until the best decisions are arrived at and then implemented.

Thank you Cranbrook for all you’ve given us during the 21 years we’ve lived here. We’ve made life-long friends and associations that have molded our think-ing and direction.

Peace, Chris and Gerry Sobie

response to HorganI am responding to the July 10, 2013,

op-ed ‘Hydro rate hikes, tip of the iceberg’ by John Horgan. Stable and secure power is fundamental to growing a strong econ-omy which is why we are investing in new and existing hydro infrastructure.

While Mr. Horgan asserts there is no business case for a nation building proj-ect like the Northwest Transmission Line, a line that will bring power to a huge part of the province currently running off die-sel generators, our government believes investments such as this are exactly what BC Hydro should be doing. This project will open up world class mineral deposits and support new mines, like Red Chris, one of the top 10 copper gold deposits in the world. In fact, the Mining Association of BC estimates the line could attract

more than $15 billion in mining invest-ment, creating up to 10,000 jobs and gen-erating $300 million in annual tax reve-nues. None of this happens unless we build the line to provide the power these mines need.

We need to ensure we have a diverse grid that can provide reliable power today, and into the future. That’s why we continue to support new, cleaner sources of power such as wind and run of river. Do these sources produce power at a higher cost than what our heritage assets do? Of course they do. Like most other things, it costs more today to produce power than it did decades ago. But these sources are cleaner than alternatives such as coal or gas and less expensive than building brand new hydroelectric dams.

In the nineties the NDP government made virtually no investments in Hydro infrastructure and did little to maintain BC Hydro’s assets. Their idea of a sound investment was a power plant in Pakistan. We have taken a different approach. We are investing in projects that are powering our needs today and ensuring we will have the power we need for our future. The unprecedented opportunity in Liq-uefied Natural Gas and other growing sectors such as mining must be support-ed with stable, secure power. This is what we are building.

You can’t make these kinds of legacy investments that will benefit all British Colombians without putting pressure on rates. Contrary to some reports, BC Hydro is managing their capital projects within their planned budget. There are a couple of projects over budget but most are under budget.

I have been very clear that my man-date, as given to me by the Premier, is to minimize rate increases while continuing to make historic investments in Hydro’s infrastructure to grow our economy. I am committed to accomplishing this goal.

As Premier Christy Clark basked in the glow of her fourth campaign victory in 30 months Wednesday evening,

she readily acknowledged having run the electoral equivalent of a “marathon.” “When you are in the middle of a marathon you don’t stand around and say, ‘Gee, I’m so tired,’ “ she told reporters. “You say, ‘I have got to keep my energy up. I’ve got to keep working so that I can get to the end and I can succeed.’ “ A long, hard slog, even for someone who famously professes to have “politics in my blood” and who during a break from the game compared politics to an old boyfriend: “... and then a couple of years down the road you’re thinking ‘God that guy was great! I miss him!’ and you pick up the phone and dial.”

That was before she gave up a promis-ing career in radio and jumped back into the fray in December 2010 to seek the leadership of the B.C. Liberal party.

Four months of vigorous campaigning later, lacking the support of all but one Liberal MLA, she won the leadership on the third ballot and then only narrowly.

Sworn in as premier in mid-March by virtue of her leadership of the majority

party in the legislature, she faced the im-mediate challenge of the long-standing parliamentary tradition that first ministers without seats in parliament are expected

to seek one in short order.She met the expecta-

tion in a May byelection in the vacated by-her-prede-cessor constituency of Vancouver-Point Grey. Another narrow victory, however, and the first sign that the riding was luke-

warm to her charms.Next? Her first thought was to set

sights on refreshing the B.C. Liberal man-date to govern, via an early general elec-tion.

However, by the end of that first sum-mer as premier - after the failed cam-paign to rescue the harmonized sales tax from the wrath of the electorate in a refer-endum - she surrendered to the lack of enthusiasm among her own colleagues for an early trip to the ballot box. That only prolonged what became a perpetual campaign. For there was no escaping the dynamic that translated every move she made into a test of whether she could “turn it around” and secure a fourth mandate for the Liberals, a first for her-

self as premier.Still, at the end of it, there was the big

win in the May 14 general election, un-precedented in the way it confounded the expectations of most of the pollsters and pundits and more than a few Liberals.

The vindication would have been total, were it not for that one pesky detail of her losing her own seat in standoffish Point Grey.

She was indisputably premier, and had been since March 2011, never mind how many people - misunderstanding our political system - insisted she was not.

But neither could she escape the par-liamentary convention that a premier cannot govern credibly for long without a seat of his or her own.

Hence the obligation for one more ex-pedited trip to the polls.

Ben Stewart, fresh from winning a sec-ond term as MLA for Westside-Kelowna, resigned on the first day that he could do so. Despite rumours, started within his own family, that he was not happy to give up his seat, he demonstrated consider-able grace by campaigning with enthusi-asm for her to take over.

Two KEYSA Rovers girls soccer teams recently returned from pro-vincials without a podium finish, however, both are satisfied with their results after competing against the best the province has to offer.

Hosted by North Vancouver, the U13 squad—heading to their first-ever provincial tournament—came out with a respectable sixth place finish, while the U19 girls ended the event placing seventh.

The U13 team had a record of one win and three losses in four games, however, it was a lot closer

than it appeared on paper, accord-ing to Shaune Hunt, who helped coach the team.

“We played okay,” said Hunt. “We lost a couple tough ones against some coastal teams, but we played well.”

“…A couple losses were close. In the 5/6 playoff, we lost to North Shore Vipers 1-0, but it was a very close game, it wasn’t decided till late in the game, so it was really good.”

Other losses came against the Chilliwack Attack at a score of 5-0 and the Marpole Phoenix at 4-0. The Rovers notched their only win

with a 2-1 decision over the Quesnel Strikers in their second game of the tournament.

Outside of the tournament, the team went to a Vancouver White-

caps game, which ended with a 2-0 win over the visiting Seattle Sound-ers.

“… One of the quotes I heard over there, was that it was amazing that we actually compete, and I think we did compete,” added Hunt. “It’s good for the girls, they had a good time, and it was neat for us [coaches], too.”

The U18 team, which is made up of Cranbrook and Kimberley high school soccer players, had the same record as their U13 counterparts, with a win and three losses.

The U18 Rovers, which hadn’t had a lot of matches to tune up be-

fore the tournament, had to adjust things on the fly, according to Jake Walmsley, who helped coach the squad alongside Pete Campbell.

“Our season is really short, so the first two games, we were learn-ing as we were playing, but we never got blown out,” said Walms-ley.

The girls lost their opening three matches to Saanich Fusion FC at 6-3, Prince George at 2-0 and PMO Nitro at 1-0.

The Rovers then found their game and took it to their hosts, beating the North Shore Adrena-line 5-2 to finish on a high note.

SAN DIEGO - Tim Lincecum pitched his first career no-hitter and the second in the majors in 11 days, a gem saved by a spectac-ular diving catch by right fielder Hunter Pence in the San Fran-cisco Giants’ 9-0 win over the last-place San Diego Padres on Satur-day night.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner in

a season-long funk was the loser when Cincin-nati’s Homer Bailey no-hit the Giants on July 2, threw a whopping 148 pitches.

Lincecum (5-9) was in control from the start Saturday, striking out 13. He walked four and hit a batter.

Still, he needed some help to preserve his no-no. Pence caught Alexi Amarista’s sinking liner with a full dive to end the eighth. Lince-

cum pumped his fist as Pence jumped up with the ball in his glove. Amarista put his hands to his helmet and pulled it off in disgust.

“I thought for sure it was a hit,” Lincecum said. “You see Hunter flying out of nowhere making the flying grab. That was really impres-sive a big play for us.”

Pablo Sandoval did his part, too, when he made a nice backhand-ed play on pinch-hitter

Jesus Guzman’s grounder deep behind third base and threw him out for the third out of the seventh.

Lincecum had been struggling coming in, losing his previous four decisions and hadn’t won since June 4 against Toronto. He hadn’t won on the road since April 3 at the Los Angeles Dodgers. Then again, he’d gotten only 12 runs of support in his last 10 starts.

Lincecum throws no-hitter against Padres Canada shocks England at women’s rugby tournament

NOTTINGHAM, England - Canada jumped out to a big lead and never looked back Sunday in de-feating three-time defending champions England 43-15 at the women’s under-20 Nations Cup rugby tournament.

Five different players scored tries for Canada (2-0), including two from Emily Belchos in the second half to shock the English side.

Canada jumped out to a 19-0 lead in the first half thanks to tries from Emily Barber, Daria Keane and Natalie Lesco and strong kicking from Jess Neilson.

Canada ran into some trouble midway thorough the game after being issued two yellow cards, but despite the challenge of playing with only 13 play-ers, the Canadians regrouped.

Coyotes sign first-round draft pick Max Domi to

three-year dealGLENDALE, Ariz. - The Phoenix Coyotes have

signed first-round draft pick Max Domi to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Phoenix selected Domi with 12th overall pick in this summer’s draft. The Toronto-born forward scored 39 goals and 87 points in 64 games last sea-son for the Ontario Hockey league’s London Knights.

Domi, the son of former Toronto Maple Leafs player Tie Domi, led the Knights in points, goals, and tied for first on the team in assists and plus-mi-nus in 2012-13.

He also had a team-high 32 points in 21 post-sea-son games, leading the Knights to their second con-secutive OHL Championship.

Domi has been named to Hockey Canada’s ros-ter for the 2013 National Junior Team summer de-velopment camp, which will take place Aug. 4-10 in Brossard, Que., and Lake Placid, N.Y.

VANCOUVER - Trevor Gretzky arrived in Vancouver on Wednesday for baseball, but it’s his hockey roots that are drawing attention his way.

As an outfielder with the Boise Hawks, Gretzky is in town for a five-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays’ Class-A short season affiliate, the Vancouver Canadians. But he is under no false illusions about what’s causing the spot-light around him.

“I know it happens because of my dad,” said Gretzky, whose father Wayne played 21 sea-sons in the National Hockey League, bringing four Stanley Cup championships to the city of Edmonton, and winning the Hart Trophy for the league’s most valuable player nine times.

The baseball-playing Gretz-ky grew up in Los Angeles, ditching hockey at a young age to focus on football and base-ball.

“If I had grown up in Cana-da I would’ve probably played hockey,” he said.

As a teenager at Oaks Chris-

tian High School in California, Gretzky was named starting quarterback of the prep school’s football team. Three games into his senior season, however, a shoulder injury halted his young football ca-reer.

So Gretzky turned his sights back to baseball and in 2011, he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the seventh round of the MLB amateur draft.

Gretzky played last season in the Arizona Rookie League, batting .304 in 25 games.

“I kind of always knew I was going to come back to base-ball,” he said. “I just didn’t know when.”

Before Boise’s trip to Van-couver, Gretzky was in and out of the lineup, making appear-ances in just eight of the Hawks’ first 25 games. Since Wednes-day, he’s earned three straight starts.

Hawks’ manager Gary Van Tol is happy with Gretzky’s per-formance in Vancouver so far.

“He’s done everything I’ve asked him to,” Van Tol said about Gretzky, who has gone 4-for-10 since Wednesday’s game.

Through 11 games this sea-son, Gretzky is batting .256 with 10 hits and one RBI.

“At the beginning of the year it was tough for him to find some at-bats because we do have a very strong outfield,” Van Tol said. “This was an op-portunity for him to really do some things and I think he’s done a great job.”

Van Tol, a native of Pincher Creek Alta., is well aware of the weight behind Trevor’s last name. He has been impressed with the way Gretzky has car-ried himself.

“He’s just another 20-year-old kid, really,” the Hawks manager said. “He’s dealt with (the media) great and he han-dles it very well.”

As Gretzky slogs his way through baseball’s ranks, he’s asked to contrast his own road against the way his father was thrust into the highest levels of hockey.

“He is the Great One,” Gretz-ky said, shrugging off the ques-tion.

Many might assume that this Gretzky made the choice to steer away from hockey to forge his own path, but the

20-year-old balks at that no-tion.

“Even today I never think, ‘Oh I have to do something for myself.’ It’s selfish thinking,” Gretzky said. “Everyone says it’s hard to live in (my dad’s) shadow, but it’s really not. I re-spect the shadow he made, the things he’s done for hockey. It’s awesome.”

Though Gretzky hasn’t nec-essarily dominated his sport the way his father dominated hockey, there are similarities between father and son. Cut from the same cloth as his championship-clad father, the young Gretzky has his sights set high.

“Win a championship, that’s my personal goal,” he said. “You don’t come here trying to get hits for yourself. That’s why you played the game as a kid. You dream of being up there, getting that at-bat at the World Series and winning a champi-onship.”

His work ethic sounds like the elder Gretzky as well.

“If you play the game hard, good things will happen,” he said. “That’s been preached to me since I was a kid.”

Sprinter Tyson Gay tests positive for banned substance, pulls out of world championships

Pat Gr ahamAssociated Press

American 100-meter record holder Tyson Gay, who had promot-ed himself as a clean athlete, tested positive for a banned substance and said he will pull out of the world cham-pionships next month in Moscow.

Gay wouldn’t reveal the substance in a phone conversation from Amsterdam on Sunday, but he said he was notified by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency late last week that a sample came back pos-itive from a May 16 o u t- o f- c o m p e t i t i o n test. He said he will have his “B” sample tested soon, possibly as early as this week.

“I don’t have a sabo-tage story. I don’t have any lies. I don’t have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake or it was on USADA’s hands, some-one playing games,” said Gay, who fought back sobs as he spoke. “I don’t have any of those stories. I basically put my trust in some-one and I was let down.”

Asked who that per-son was, Gay replied: “I can’t really say it. Sometimes a human being naturally, gener-

ally trusts somebody. That’s what people do.”

USATF CEO Max Siegel said in a state-ment: “It is not the news anyone wanted to hear, at any time, about any athlete.”

Siegel added: “We do not know the facts of this case and look to USADA to adjudicate it and handle it appropri-ately.”

A triple world cham-pion in 2007, Gay was healthy again this sea-son after being con-stantly plagued by hamstring and groin ailments, along with a surgically repaired hip. He won the 100 and 200 at nationals last month, setting up an anticipated showdown with Usain Bolt at worlds.

But that’s been scrubbed. Gay, who has the fastest 100 time in the world this sea-son, also said he will pull out of a meet in Monaco and fly back to the headquarters of USADA in Colorado Springs, Colo., to be on hand when his “B” sample is tested.

The anti-doping or-ganization said in a statement it “appreci-ates his approach to handling this situation and his choice to vol-untarily remove him-

self from competition while the full facts sur-rounding his test are evaluated.”

“The ‘B’ sample will be processed shortly,” the statement went on, “and as in all cases all athletes are innocent unless or until proven otherwise through the established legal pro-cess, and any attempt to sensationalize or speculate is a disser-vice to due process, fair play, and to those who love clean sport.”

Gay is the second high-profile track ath-lete to makes headlines

for doping in the last few weeks. Jamaica’s Veronica Camp-bell-Brown, the reign-ing 200-meter world champion and three-time Olympic gold medallist , was sus-pended by her national federation last month pending an investiga-tion into a positive drug test. Jamaican officials said Campbell-Brown, the 2004 and 2008 Olympic champion in the 200, tested positive for a banned diuretic at a meet on the island in May.

Gay is good friends

with Campbell-Brown and said at the time: “We’re all accountable for what goes in our system or what goes in our body. But at the same time, sometimes mistakes do happen.”

A few years ago, Gay was part of USADA’s program called “My Victory,” where athletes pledge to compete clean. In his testimoni-al on the website, Gay said, “I compete clean because I really believe in fairness, and besides that, my mom would kill me! Just being hon-est.”

Pat Gr ahamAssociated Press

Former 100-meter world-record holder Asafa Powell and Jamai-can teammate Sherone Simpson have each test-ed positive for banned stimulants, their agent told The Associated Press.

Powell and Simpson tested positive for the stimulant oxilofrine at the Jamaican champion-ships last month and were just recently noti-fied, Paul Doyle said Sunday, with their provi-

sional ban effective im-mediately. The news came the same day that American 100-meter re-cord holder Tyson Gay revealed that he also failed a doping test.

Powell helped the Ja-maicans to the 400-meter relay gold medal at the 2008 Olympics and was the last man to hold the individual 100 record before countryman Usain Bolt broke it earlier that year.

Simpson won Olym-pic gold in the women’s 400 relay in 2004 and sil-

ver in 2012, along with an individual silver in the 100 in 2008.

“They’re devastated,” Doyle said in a phone interview. “I’m optimis-tic that Asafa’s and Sher-one’s names will be cleared. It is a stimulant ban, which I hate to call any infraction minor - any positive test is major, in my opinion - but at the same time it was some-thing that was inadver-tent. Hopefully, through our investigation and all that, we’ll be able to show it was unintentional.”

daily townsman / daily Bulletin

Dear Annie: I’m a young professional, and I have nothing left. After eight months of searching for a job in my field, I moved to a small town 12 hours away from family and friends to take a graduate-friendly position. Two months in, the firm let me go, saying there wasn’t enough work for me. To make matters worse, my successful friends back home are telling me about the jobs they love and the exotic vacations they’re taking.

Annie, I feel like such an idiot. I have al-ways been the good son who worked hard, volunteered, went to college, got good grades, finished his degree and put in long hours at an after-school job. I sacrificed so much and put off all the things I wanted to do so I could be the “perfect candidate” who gets the great job, the nice car and the house. Now I’m homesick, on government assistance and no closer to finding work. I’m convinced it’s all been for nothing.

I’m starting to resent my friends, even though it’s not their fault. For the first time in my life, I have no idea where I’ll end up. My anger is so stifling that I can’t breathe. I decided to backpack across Europe when the unemployment checks run out, but that made my father so nervous that he offered me my old room back.

What should I do? Move back in with my parents and be the hardworking loser in a loser job? Or should I follow my dreams for a while and do something wonderful before I start again? -- Joe Not-So-Cool

Dear Joe: Life isn’t fair. Sometimes you can do all the right things but still struggle, while others seem to skate by. But it sounds as if you could use a break, and backpacking across Europe can be an opportunity not to be missed. So go ahead, but understand that when you return, you will still have to find a job, and your father’s offer may no longer be available. Use the experience for person-al growth and learning, and come back re-freshed and re-energized.

Dear Annie: I am one of six women who attend a girls’ night out once a month. About six months ago, one of the women started bringing her husband. She is the only one of us who is married. This is making all of us very uncomfortable, as we don’t feel we can talk as freely with him there. We all think she should know better than to bring him with her.

How do we let her know we don’t want him there without making her angry? -- Awaiting Your Help

Dear Awaiting: Why did she suddenly de-cide to bring her husband? Did he demand to come along? Might he be ill, and she is reluctant to leave him home? You need to ask her nicely why she finds it necessary to bring her husband to a women’s gathering. Explain that it is unfair (since you cannot all do the same) and that it inhibits your con-versation. If she has a good reason, please tolerate his presence. Otherwise, he needs to find another form of entertainment once a month.

Dear Annie: “A Coping Mom” wrote that her 9-year-old son is legally blind and has epilepsy. She said he is often quiet and with-drawn and that he is impulsive and does in-appropriate things in public, so leaving the house with him can be challenging.

I have a suggestion for her: Please give your child the gift of music: lessons, theater, live music, parades, recorded music, music teachers and lectures on musicians, or hire a band student to tutor him. Band is a great experience, and music will help keep him engaged and give him a means of expres-sion. -- Band Mom

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be touchy, and you could turn sarcastic at the drop of a hat. If you feel that mood coming on, back off for every-one’s sake. It’s better not to say anything at all rather than some-thing hurtful. Be willing to share your feelings. Tonight: Decide what is best for you.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Staying mellow could be a chal-lenge, as someone’s agitated mood seems to be directed at you. Let this person’s words fall to the wayside; do not give him or her the power to hurt you. You might enjoy getting into a favor-ite pastime. Tonight: Schedule a massage.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Take advantage of an unex-pected opportunity that heads in from out of left field. You might want to think through a response, but you could lose this opportunity if you do. Be that spontaneous person everyone loves. Tonight: Tap into your cre-ativity around others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)Understand what is happening within your immediate circle of friends. Listen to news more openly, and know that you need to honor a change. Question what has been happening within yourself, too. You could be deal-ing with more stress than you realize. Tonight: Order in.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Let communication flow natu-rally. Your ability to get past a problem reflects your ingenuity and your ability to find answers. Make sure that you are on the same page with new people you meet. Express your caring, and a friend will beam. Tonight: Follow the crowds.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)The topic of your finances keeps coming up. Be prepared to have a disagreement or two with oth-ers, but not to the point where you might have to buy some-one a peace offering. Indulge yourself, and take a break from the volatility. Tonight: Do some shopping on the way home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You beam, and others respond. You might wonder how to get

past a restriction. Communica-tion won’t alleviate the issue right now, so you’ll want to wait a day or two. By remaining posi-tive, you will help others develop a positive reaction. Tonight: All smiles.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Know when the odds are stacked against you. You will discover that you are best off doing re-search or running errands, rather than getting involved in inter-personal work. Think through an issue one more time. Err on the side of caution. Tonight: See what your friends are up to.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Meetings, friends and people in general dominate this day. A child could surprise you with a spontaneous reaction. If you are single, you could be taken aback by a person who might show up unexpectedly today. Open up to someone whom you care about. Tonight: Off to a game.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Just when you think everything finally is mellow, you might dis-cover that the opposite is true. How much more chaos can you handle? Figure out what is going

on behind the scenes. Perhaps you need to detach more, es-pecially if you take the lead. To-night: A must appearance.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Your perspective might be need-ed. Unless you see an opening, keep your opinions and thoughts to yourself. You easily could be misunderstood if you are not careful. Refuse to get involved with whatever is happening behind the scenes. Tonight: Go anywhere you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You will be full of fun and high energy. Your ability to deal with a problem comes forward. A part-ner could feel overwhelmed. You also might get some flak for a decision you’ve made that upsets this person. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Break bread with a loved one.

Clark, knowing she could ill afford to lose - there was ample precedent for a premier to seek a backup seat in a byelection but none for a premier needing a third chance to get into the house - avoided the mistakes she’d made in her byelection run in Point Grey.

She took part in all-candidates meetings and indicated she would try to represent the riding in the long run, if the voters were willing to en-trust her with the honour. She made promises targeted specifically to the riding, too.

Nor did the party take anything for granted, flooding Kelowna with vol-unteers, ensuring a high turnout in the advance poll and an impressive finish on election day.

She led from the outset of the Elections B.C. tally and finished with 63 per cent of the popular vote, a higher share than Stewart in the gen-eral election, the easiest of the four wins that brought her this far.

So for the first time in 2½ years, Clark finds herself without an imme-

diate electoral target and a pressing need to launch into another cam-paign.

But I’m indebted to Philip Till, the morning host on radio station CKNW and a former foreign correspondent, for reminding me what Margaret Thatcher said after one of her victo-ries. “Celebrate tonight,” or words to that effect, “for tomorrow begins the campaign for the next election.”

Clark’s agenda is top-heavy with the need to implement an ambitious election platform: keeping the bud-get in balance, securing a long-term deal with teachers, and opening up the province to a liquefied natural gas industry as part of a broader agenda for job creation and economic growth. Plus there are those targeted promises she made in the course of persuading Kelowna to take a chance on again being represented by a pre-mier.

As a proven master of the political game in this province, she’ll know as well as anyone that mandates evapo-rate quickly and there’s no avoiding the continual courtship of the elec-torate.

Clark adds exclamation mark

Dear Wendy:I was wondering if you could do

one of your specs on our middle child. My husband does not know that I am emailing you and I’m at my wit’s end. He says our child could possibly be taking drugs. I told my husband he was crazy and the boy is going through an awkward age emotionally. To-night again we had a quarrel over what to do about our son’s behaviour these past months. Can you help me at all? I just don’t like having the same argument with my husband over and over again.

Concerned Mom

Dear Concerned Mom:We did a spec on your son and

your husband is correct; we also feel he is on some kind of street drug. We suggest you take him to the doctor and get him tested and then get some help for him. Unfortunately you are in denial. I know it’s hard but you need to get your son tested as soon as possible and get this problem re-solved between you and your hus-band.

Hi Wendy:My mom recently passed over and

I was cleaning up some of her stuff and I came across some old letters she saved. The funny thing is they were not from my dad. This man she was corresponding with is a complete stranger to me and the rest of the fam-ily. The letters seem to be quite inti-mate and I was wondering if she was having an affair with another man when my dad was living.

Just Wondering

Hi Just Wondering:I wouldn’t say that your mom had

an intimate affair with this man phys-ically. However, your mom did have

an intimate affair with this man men-tally while she was married to your dad. This connection she had with this man was a past life connection. She did not proceed to the next level of intimacy with this man because she took her marriage vows seriously and she was a religious woman. We

feel and know that your mom and dad were physically faithful to each other during their relationship on this plane in this lifetime.

Dear Wendy:I am a 72 years young

woman and my husband passed away several years ago. I feel a tad embar-rassed as I am emailing you this night about my question. I was wondering if you see me falling in love again and marrying. I’m getting old and miser-able in this house by myself and I like to have a nice man in my life.

Cranky Old Lady

Dear Cranky Old Lady:I don’t think you are a cranky old

woman or that you should feel em-barrassed at all asking us that ques-tion. Judging from what you have told me in your email we feel that you have a lot of “get up and go” in that young body of yours. You do so many interesting things for your age and good for you. I don’t think any of us are too old to fall in love again. You know what they say, “Love make the world go round.”

We see you moving in 2015 and this is when we feel you will meet someone and have a relationship with him. He is quite a sophisticated man tall say around 5’11” quite slim and has a very kind smile. Let me know how you make out honey. Good Luck!

VANCOUVER — Tributes from celebrities and fans of the popular television series “Glee’’ were pouring in on social media Sunday as those who admire Ca-nadian actor Cory Monteith learned of his sudden death.

The 31-year-old actor, who shot to fame as football player and singer Finn Hudson on the popular television series, was found dead at a downtown Van-couver hotel room on Saturday.

Police told reporters the cause of death still must be de-termined, but investigators do not believe foul play was in-volved.

Once news broke of Monte-ith’s death, fellow celebrities and “Glee’’ cast members took to Twitter to express their condo-lences.

Dot-Marie Jones, who plays Coach Shannon Beiste, wrote, “I am blessed to have worked with him and love him so much. My heart is with his family and our whole Glee family. I love you all.’’

And Lauren Potter, who plays cheerleader Becky Jackson said, “I am totally heartbroken right now. I love Cory so much this hurts my heart. I hope my Glee family is OK right now. I love them all. Cory was always so nice to me. I have so many good memories.’’

Monteith’s co-star and girl-friend Lea Michele, who plays Finn’s girlfriend on-screen, has issued a brief statement, re-questing privacy.

Fans from B.C., where Mon-teith grew up, also mourned the death of the local celebrity.

“When I first saw Glee, I was ecstatic for Cory. A local boy and a great guy. My thoughts to his family and friends. He will be remembered,’’ wrote Vancouver actor Osric Chau.

The executive producers of Glee and Fox also issued a state-ment on Saturday night, saying, “We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Cory was an excep-tional talent and an even more exceptional person. He was a true joy to work with and we will all miss him tremendously. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.’’

Acting Vancouver Police Chief Doug LePard told report-ers on Saturday that Monteith’s body was found around noon after he failed to check out from his room as scheduled.

LePard said the actor had

been with some other people in the room the night before, but video and electronic records show that Monteith entered the room by himself on Saturday morning.

His death comes several months after he told People magazine that he had admitted himself into rehab for substance abuse, but police declined to speculate whether there was any connection.

Monteith, who has been open about having suffered from drug addiction when he was younger, was born in Calgary and raised in Victoria, where his mother still lives.

Before becoming an actor, he worked as a Wal-Mart people greeter in Nanaimo, B.C., as well as a taxicab driver, school bus driver, and roofer.

He had minor roles in other films before joining the cast of “Glee,’’ which debuted in 2009.

He also played drummer for the California-based band Bon-nie Dune, and was an avid sup-porter of the Project Limelight Society, a Vancouver charity that offers a theatre program to at-risk youth.

Just days before his death, Monteith apparently dined with casting director and Project Limelight co-founder Maureen Webb in an east Vancouver restaurant.

An autopsy was expected to be performed on Monday.

VANCOUVER — Ancient fos-sils of an extinct family of insects have been found in British Co-lumbia and northern Washing-ton state, and a biologist says they hold valuable lessons about climate change and evolution.

Bruce Archibald of Simon Fraser University says research-ers found fossils of scorpionflies near Cache Creek, B.C., and Re-public, Wash., while conducting fieldwork.

He said the insects, named eorpidae after the age of history in which they lived, fed on the remains of other insects about 50 millions years ago but may have gone extinct because of competition from other species or climate change back then.

“By looking at fossil insects and their diversity and their biogeography and all, we can try and understand broader principles about how commu-nities work in relation to cli-mate,’’ he said.

“When we look out at forests today and see, for example, the mountain pine-beetle devasta-tion, we can see that with a little bit of climate change we get all this tremendous impact, which is gong to have a strong effect on us economically and socially.’’

The pine beetle has de-stroyed more than 18 million hectares of lodgepole pine in B.C. and turned vast swaths of once-green forests to an or-ange-red and then to black.

Scientists have argued the beetle was once frozen out of forests, but then spread because of climate change.

Archibald, along with David Greenwood of Brandon Univer-sity in Manitoba and Rolf Mathewes also of SFU co-au-thored a research paper of their findings, published recently in the Journal of Paleontology.

He said scorpionfly families lived about 50 million years ago when the global climate was much warmer. But when cli-mates outside of the tropics

cooled, seasonal temperatures widened, forming patterns of freezing winters and hot sum-mers.

As a result, scorpionfly fami-lies had to migrate to the hot tropics, evolve a tolerance for colder winters or go extinct, he said, noting there are now only two families of scorpionflies left, even though there were once six.

Researchers also believe the insects could have faced in-creasing competition for food from ants, which had begun to diversify, Archibald said.

Ants can recruit their nest mates and cover a large territo-ry with their scouts and clean out an area very quickly, he said, adding such a develop-ment would have made it hard for a diversity of scorpionflies to exist.

“We suspect that this compe-tition for scavenging for food sources from ants may have hit this scavenging group (scorpi-onflies) very hard.’’

Fossils of ancient insects found in B.C., Wash., hold valuable lessons, study says

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

AssociAted PressLONDON — His wife may be due to have her

baby soon, but Prince William isn’t one to sit tight and wait for the news — instead, he’s off playing polo.

Many in the British press have predicted that the first child of the prince and the Duchess of Cambridge, formerly known as Kate Middleton, is expected to arrive on Sunday. Dozens of bleary-eyed photographers and cameramen have been standing guard around the clock on royal baby watch outside St. Mary’s Hospital in London.

But the prince was enjoying a game of polo against his brother Prince Harry at a charity event at Cirencester Park Polo Club, almost 100 miles (161 kilometres) west of the capital, on Sunday.

According to bookmaker William Hill, most people are betting money on a royal birth Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.

Officials have said that the baby is due around mid-July, but have not released a due date. The birth, when it does come, will be announced by a bulletin posted on a wooden easel placed outside Buckingham Palace.

It’s a time-honoured royal tradition — the birth of William’s father, Prince Charles, was announced the same way in 1948. This time, however, officials have adapted to modern times by adding a simul-taneous announcement on Twitter, so that mil-lions around the world can get the news within seconds.

Rupert Adams, spokesman for William Hill, said that the most fervent betting has been on the name of the baby. Alexandra, Charlotte, Elizabeth and George are among the top contenders so far, he said.

AssociAted PressSANFORD, Fla. — After a

year and a half of living as a hermit, George Zimmerman emerged from a Florida court-house a free man, cleared of all charges in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

His brother said the former neighbourhood watch volun-teer was still processing the re-ality that he wouldn’t serve pris-on time for the killing, which Zimmerman, 29, has main-tained was an act of self-de-fence. Late Saturday night, a jury found him not guilty of sec-ond-degree murder and de-clined to convict him on a lesser charge of manslaughter.

However, with many critics angry over his acquittal, his freedom may be limited.

“He’s going to be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life,’’ Robert Zimmerman Jr. said during an interview on CNN.

Demonstrators upset with the verdict protested mostly peacefully in Florida, Milwau-kee, Washington, Atlanta and other cities overnight and into the early morning Sunday, but some broke windows and van-dalized a police squad car in Oakland during protests in four California cities, authorities said. Additional demonstra-tions were scheduled across the country through Sunday eve-ning.

Martin’s killing in February 2012 unleashed debate across the U.S. over racial profiling, self-defence and equal justice. Protesters nationwide lashed

out against police in the Orlan-do suburb of Sanford as it took 44 days for Zimmerman to be arrested. Many, including Mar-tin’s parents, said Zimmerman had racially profiled the un-armed black teen. Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic.

Six anonymous female ju-rors considered nearly three weeks of often wildly conflict-ing testimony over who was the aggressor on the rainy night the 17-year-old was shot while walking through the gated townhouse community where he was staying and where Zim-merman lived.

Jurors were sequestered during the trial, and they delib-erated more than 15 hours over two days before announcing late Saturday night that they had reached a verdict. The court did not release the racial and ethnic makeup of the jury, but the panel appeared to re-porters covering selection to be made up of five white women

and a sixth who may be His-panic.

In August 2012, defence at-torney Mark O’Mara said Zim-merman and his wife, Shellie, had been living like hermits and weren’t working because they feared for their safety.

Those watching reacted strongly when the verdict was announced. Martin’s mother and father were not in the courtroom when it was read; supporters of his family who had gathered outside yelled “No! No!’’ upon learning of the verdict.

Martin’s family maintained the teen was not the aggressor, and prosecutors suggested Martin was scared because he was being followed by a strang-er. Defence attorneys, however, said Martin knocked Zimmer-man down and was slamming the older man’s head against the concrete sidewalk when Zimmerman fired his gun.

Prosecutors called Zimmer-

man a liar and portrayed him as a “wannabe cop’’ vigilante who had grown frustrated by break-ins in his neighbourhood com-mitted primarily by young black men. Zimmerman as-sumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands, prosecutors said.

State Attorney Angela Corey said after the verdict that she believed second-degree mur-der was the appropriate charge because Zimmerman’s mind-set “fit the bill of second-degree murder.’’

Despite the racially charged nature of the case, race was barely mentioned at the trial.

“This case has never been about race or the right to bear arms,’’ Corey said. “We believe this case all along was about boundaries, and George Zim-merman exceeded those boundaries.’’

One of the few mentions of race came from witness Rachel Jeantel, the Miami teen who was talking to Martin by phone moments before he was shot. She testified that he described being followed by a “creepy-ass cracker’’ as he walked through the neighbourhood.

Jeantel gave some of the tri-al’s most riveting testimony. She said she overheard Martin demand, “What are you follow-ing me for?’’ and then yell, “Get off! Get off!’’ before his cell-phone went dead.

The jurors had to sort out clashing testimony from 56 wit-nesses in all, including police, neighbours, friends and family members.

AssocAted PressPAMPLONA, Spain — A

bull gored an Australian woman and left her seriously injured during the final bull run of this year’s annual San Fermin festival in Spain on Sunday. Four other runners were hospitalized with cuts and bruises.

The 23-year-old woman, identified only as J.E., was gored in the back and suf-fered multiple rib fractures and damage to her right lung that left her in “very grave’’ condition after an operation at Navarra Hospital, said the regional government that or-ganizes the festival.

The Australian was struck by a massive Miura bull as she clung to wooden barriers out-side the bullring entrance.

The four injured runners who were tossed by bulls or fell as they ran were identified as a 39-year-old man from Califor-

nia, a 23-year-old man from Madrid and two men from Na-varra. None of those injuries were serious.

Dramatic confrontations be-tween runners and bulls had occurred during the previous two days of the festival.

A 19-year-old Spaniard who had stopped breathing after being crushed by large pileup of fallen runners on Saturday has recovered consciousness and begun to breathe without me-chanical assistance, Sesma said Sunday.

A 35-year-old man from Cleveland, Ohio, who was gored by a bull Saturday was recovering “favourably’’ from a “rectal perforation’’ that af-fected his abdomen and a kid-ney, said a Navarra Hospital statement.

A University of Utah stu-dent who was gored Friday, was in a stable condition and improving after having had his spleen removed.

Miura bulls, which can weigh 695 kilograms, are re-nowned as Spain’s largest and fastest fighting bulls, and Sun-day’s bull run was quick, tak-ing 2 minutes, 16 seconds to cover 850 metres from stables just outside Pamplona’s medi-

eval stone wall to the central bullring.

Despite the animals’ size and strength, experts admire Miuras for their explosive accel-eration, stamina and grace.
