On Wednesday, Greg Reimer, BC Hydro’s ex-ecutive vice-president of transmission and dis-tribution, stopped by to talk about local initia-tives in the area.

Reimer talked about the changes that the Crown corporation has faced as power de-mands continue to grow. He said in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, BC

Hydro had a relatively new capacity.

“Here we are, 50 odd years later and the sys-tem is aging and the province is growing,” he said. “So what we’re doing is really investing in our system. In order to do that, we’re spend-ing a lot of money on the transmission and distri-bution system in North America.”

The city’s pothole budget is bottoming out, with only $9,733 re-maining out of the $123,000 total for the year.

Cranbrook Public Works will be utilizing the remaining funds pri-marily for pothole patching, but as that will only tackle some of the city’s road concerns, city staff may request addi-tional funds.

CAO Wayne Staudt noted at the July 14 council meeting that city staff was quite aware of the pothole issues

around town. “I don’t call them

potholes anymore, I think if we were only dealing with potholes we could manage it, but we’re dealing with pot-holes that are the size of this room today,” Staudt said, referring to the council chambers. “At this time of the year we’ve already used it all up. So we might be com-ing back to council as we go on here request-ing some additional money for some of these potholes.”

A family business is welcoming Cranbrook diners to experience de-licious Indian cuisine.

Pam and Ajay Uppal opened their restaurant, Cuisine of India, on Sat-urday, July 12. It’s locat-ed opposite the Prestige on Highway 3/95 in Cranbrook.

Pam manages the restaurant, while her husband Ajay is the chef.

They are both origi-nally from India, and Ajay began his culinary career in Seattle at age 17. He worked there for 10 years, before moving to Vancouver.

The couple opened their first restaurant in Castlegar in September 2003. This restaurant, which has the same name, is a local favour-ite, and Pam said diners encouraged them to look at Cranbrook for another restaurant.

“Our customers in Castlegar would ask us when we were going to open a restaurant in Cranbrook,” said Pam.

“We love this com-munity. When we came searching for a location, we drove by and saw this restaurant.”

The building used to

be home to Fubuki Sushi. Before that, it was the long time home of Casa Dela Pasta.

Since taking occupa-tion, Pam and Ajay have overseen extensive ren-ovations of the inside of the restaurant.

“We’ve tried our best

New cuisine on the blockCuisine of India opens opposite the Prestige; lunch buffet draws in diners

to make it like an Indian style restaurant,” said Pam.

Now the couple have three restaurants to oversee: the original in Castlegar, one opened last year in Vernon, and this third restaurant in Cranbrook.

There is an afford-able lunch buffet offered Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for $12.95, meaning that those who haven’t eaten much Indian food can try out a variety of dish-es to find their favourite.

And the a la carte menu is inexpensive, Pam said, with generous portions in a dinner for two package.

With a growing interest in ener-gy efficiency among homeowners and builders, the area of energy assessment is just starting to take off.

Sean Swinwood, owner/opera-tor of Amerispec of Southeast BC, sees the area of energy assessment as not only a growth industry, par-ticularly with older homes and homeowners looking to renovate. But the time is coming soon when energy efficiency ratings could be written into provincial building codes.

Swinwood was a certified ener-gy advisor, employed by Amer-ispec, until he took over the busi-

ness in 2013. “I’ve done hundreds of energy

asssessments in the East Kootenay area,” Swinwood said. “I’ve helped homeowners receive provincial and federal rebates to help make their homes more energy effi-cient.”

Swinwood said the current pro-gram, which is in effect until March 31, 2015, is called the HERO pro-gram (Home Energy Rebate Offer-ing), and is administered by BC Hydro and Fortis BC.

Following this program, Swin-wood conducts a pre- and post-en-ergy assessment (before renova-tions and after) of a particular property. At each stage, the prop-erty owner receives a rating, from

one to 100, on an energy efficiency scale set by Natural Resources Canada.

“The energy assessment tells you two things,” Swinwood said, “where your home rates on the energuide scale, and a full report detailing how you can save ener-gy.”

There are also rebates avail-able from the HERO program de-pending on the upgrades that are made.

The aassessment also includes an air leakage test, which tells you how much heat you could be losing out of your “building envelope” in the winter. Discussions about insu-lation upgrades, space heating, and other energy savings strategies are also part of the assessment.

This information is a great value, Swinwood said, and of growing importance, especially as concerns the value it can add to your house.

“Knowing that information, the

leakage, the rating on the scale, knowing how you can improve your rating, is very valuable infor-mation, especially when it comes to saving on your energy bills, and when it comes to to selling your house.”

And the building industry is only recently starting to come on-stream, Swinwood said.

“There will be new aspects of the B.C. Building Code that take energy ratings into account,” he said. “There may be a time in the near future where energy efficiency standards are made part of the building code.”

Amerispec also offered standard home inspection for potential pur-chasers of a property. And the com-pany has a partner relationship with other companies and organi-zations, such as the Brick, Aeroplan and Habitat for Humanity.

Amerispec’s Sean Swinwood per-forms home energy assessments in Cranbrook.

Coun. Sharon Cross asked where the extra funds for pothole fixing would come from.

Staudt said it would likely come from the Ac-cumulative Surplus at this point.

“I know we struggle with ‘should we spend all this accumulative surplus and surplus that we gain in a year?’” he said.

“It’s important to

hang on to that so that we have some money available to address these very important is-sues that we can’t see in February when we’re dealing with the budget. Here we are in July and we see these kinds of problems.”

He noted that there is another problem near 4th Street and 15th Ave-nue where the creek has washed out part of the

road. “It’s basically col-

lapsed and it’s going to be a fairly big expendi-ture that we didn’t see coming at us,” he said, “and all the issues we’ve been dealing with at Elizabeth Lake that we didn’t see coming at us when we finalized our budget in February.”

He said it is tempting to spend at budget time, but that’s why they have it.

A Montreal man stopped in Cranbrook last week during his cross-Canada trek in the name of peace. Normand Schmidt started walking from Vancouver on April 23 and hopes to make it to Montreal this year. His journey through B.C. has taken longer than he expected, he said, because the people of B.C. are so nice and he ends up stopping to talk to people. Schmidt said he decided to dedicate his life to walking to promote peace after watching a film about the Rwandan geno-cide. He wants to encourage peace between countries, within countries, within communities and even within families.

C anadian Press

WEST KELOWNA, B.C. — About 2,400 of the 2,500 people dis-placed by a wildfire near West Kelowna, B.C. are being allowed back into their homes.

Kelly Kay of the Cen-tral Okanagan Regional District Emergency Op-erations Centre says au-thorities will be discuss-ing the possibility of al-lowing the estimated 100 people still under an evacuation order back in their homes.

Tracy Wynnyk of the B.C. Wildfire Manage-ment Branch says the cooler weather and higher humidity has al-lowed firefighters to

contain 50 per cent of the blaze, up from about 30 per cent on Saturday.

While winds on Sat-urday evening were a concern, the gusts did not advance the 2.6-square-kilometre blaze past containment lines.

Cooler weather and rainfall in parts of Brit-ish Columbia have helped to quell wild-fires across the prov-ince, but some areas in the southern and cen-tral interior are still fac-ing an extreme danger rating.

Navi Saini, another spokeswoman for the branch, says there were

six new fire starts Satur-day and one Sunday morning.

She says the week-end, though, has been “relatively quiet,’’ so the department is hopeful the 151 active fires are diminishing in number and magni-tude.

An extreme danger rating indicates a “very serious’’ fire risk where new fires start and spread easily.

Saini adds that in general, the danger rat-ing across B.C. has de-creased.

She says there are more than 1,300 fire-fighters working across the province.

When you flush the toilet or drain water from your sink, pipes carry the messy debris from your home to Cranbrook’s wastewater lagoons on the northern edge of town.

Here, Cranbrook Public Works staff pre-pare the wastewater to be digested by billions of tiny bugs. First, any-thing that floats – grease and fats, mostly – is si-phoned off, then any-thing solid – flushable wipes, last night’s left-overs you put down the garborator – is lifted out.

What’s left is an ap-petizing buffet for mi-croorganisms, explains Cranbrook Director of Public Works Joe Mc-Gowan, who has me perched on the edge of a sewage lagoon in the name of research.

Once the wastewater has been cleared of floating inorganics and

solids that don’t belong, it flows into the first of three wastewater la-goons. This is where those bugs get to work.

“You flush, the lumpy comes down, and 8 bil-lion bugs consume the organic material,” Mc-Gowan summarized.

There are two types of bugs that live in the lagoons: aerobic micro-organisms, and anaero-bic microorganisms.

The first kind, aero-bic microorganisms, are the useful ones. Ener-getic and hardworking, they’re the ones that feed on organic materi-al, and the city creates conditions in the la-goons that will breed and nurture these kinds of bugs. They consume body waste and food waste, while dirt – which comes off you in the shower and your clothes in the washer – sinks to the bottom of the pond.

Anaerobic microor-ganisms are less helpful

A Bug’s Life

Bugs ‘given the Lance Armstrong treatment’ at lagoonsIn part two of a three-part series on how Cranbrook turns sewage into water, we learn how the city turbo-charges microorganisms

– they produce carbon dioxide and sulphates, and they are responsible for making the lagoons smell sometimes.

Fortunately, there’s a surefire way to encour-age aerobic bugs, while stopping the anaerobic bugs in their tracks: oxy-gen. Anaerobic micro-organisms don’t like it; while aerobic bugs thrive on it.

“When bugs are working, like you and I they need oxygen,” said McGowan. “As the bug eats the organic materi-al, it consumes oxygen. That is taken out of the water and the water be-comes devoid of oxy-gen, so the bugs die.”

To stop them from dying off, the city pumps oxygen into the lagoons. A series of pipes about 30 feet apart contain

Three wastewater lagoons each harbour a unique collection of microorganisms that break down Cranbrook’s organic material.

nozzles about 20 feet apart that are on the end of diffusers lowered five feet into the water – al-most at the bottom of the pond.

These diffusers take a large volume of air and break it into bubbles.

“We shear the air so there are billions of little tiny bubbles every sec-ond,” said McGowan.

Because the bugs are small, the bubbles need to be small. And then the aerobic microorgan-isms really start to party.

“It has the same af-fect on aerobic bacteria

as blood doping did on Lance Armstrong,” said McGowan.

“We take mediocre performing microorgan-isms and give them the Lance Armstrong treat-ment. As a result, they perform a lot better.”

The helpful bugs also like sunlight – which is why the ponds are only six feet deep, and why this kind of wastewater system prospers best in sunny climates.

Cranbrook, as we know, is the sunniest city in B.C., and this is another case where that

works in our favour. We’re also helped by the natural geography of the city, which for the most part has a gentle slope so everything runs down-hill from south to north.

What’s more, when the lagoons were built in 1973, the city used a large piece of property. That means that Cran-brook can simplify its wastewater system by using three ponds and breeding the bugs in-side the ponds, rather than circling them back into the wastewater as it arrives, as the City of

Kimberley needs to do.In Cranbrook, there’s

no chemical treatment of the wastewater at the lagoons.

“All we are using is hard-working bugs,” said McGowan.

“We’ve gone back to basics – we are using basic scientific con-cepts. We are able to do it because we have the land area.”

See tomorrow’s Townsman for the con-clusion of A Bug’s Life, a feature on Cranbrook’s hardest working em-ployees.

The company is planning to spend $1.4 billion on the transmis-sion and distribution. Last year BC Hydro spent $1.4 billion as well — the year before it was $1.2 billion.

“We have a 10 year, $10 billion capital plan,” he said.

He said they are see-ing load growth throughout the prov-ince. Some areas of the province are growing at different paces.

“We’ve done a lot of investment here in the East Kootenays in the last five years,” he said. “We’ve invested about $200 million in the dis-tribution system here in the last five years.”

He noted some of the projects around the

area. The Columbia Valley

transmission project, which is a transmission line between Invermere and Golden, was com-pleted in 2013.

Hydro has also done substantial upgrades to some of the substations in Cranbrook, Golden and Radium.

He said one of the important measures they look to as a trans-mission and distribu-tion business group is BC Hydro’s system reli-ability.

“So how reliable is our system for our cus-tomers, what’s our cus-tomer experience?” he said.

The reliability num-bers for Cranbrook are quite good, he said.

“They’re better than our system average, so our system is perform-ing pretty well here.”

He said the system has about 10 years worth of growth left on the system in this area.

“So as economic de-velopment takes hold and more development happens we’ll be able to meet that develop-ment fairly easily,” he said.

Reimer also men-tioned Powerex, a sub-sidiary of BC Hydro that trades in surplus energy with Alberta. A 500 kV link passes near Cran-brook.

“The profits from that are used to lower electricity prices for our customers in B.C.,” he said.

BC Hydro is also re-placing power poles.

“We’ve got an active program with test and treat,” he said.

“This last year we re-placed 12,000 poles throughout British Co-lumbia. I believe in the Cranbrook area we’re going to replace 250 poles this year.”

He noted the cost to replace 250 poles is about $2 million and usually necessitates power outages.

“We just ask that our customers are aware that we’re taking main-tenance outages in order to keep the system running when we need the system to run,” he said.

Reimer added that the company works with customers in local communities to give ad-equate notice about the outages.

Good morning, Wendy:I was wondering if you would do a

“spec” on a fellow I have met recently. He seems nice enough. Do you see us being compatible? Is he Mr. Right?

Thank you very much for all the help you and your guides have given me in the past. I really appreciate your words of guidance and insight.

Feeling Hopeful

Dear Feeling Hopeful:We thank you for the first and last name

of this man you are interest-ed in pursuing a relation-ship with. This will help us do a proper and accurate “spec” on him as you have requested.

We do not feel he is an alcoholic. He does do street drugs. He does cheat on the women he goes out with. He does lie to the women he goes out with.

He is only capable of short-term rela-tionships with women, not long-term rela-tionships with women.

He is quite moody and he is not a verbal abuser.

I then asked my guides if you would be able to have a compatible relationship with this man and the answer was no.

Given this information from my guides,

we do not feel he is Mr. Right for you. How-ever, I always tell everyone that this does not mean that you should not go out with him if you wish.

This means that now you are fore-warned; you can discover if what we have told you about him is correct. This means that you do not get involved emotionally, however just observe and be aware and learn that who you are choosing or are at-tracted to is not positive.

This means you need to do a little more work on yourself to be attracted and to at-

tract the right kind of man you want in your life.

Wendy

Hi Wendy:Just sending you a short

email to let you know that what you told me about my boyfriend’s job has come

true. He is so happy that he is moving out of his hometown and getting this new, challenging promotion for the company he works for.

I would like to ask you if you see me moving to where he will be living this year. He told me that he wants me to quit my job and move away with him.

We are also thinking of getting engaged and I want to know if this will happen in 2014 as well. I am kind of nervous quitting

my job and about our money situation. Feeling Elated but Deflated

Dear Feeling Elated but Deflated:Yes, my guides and I see you moving

with your boyfriend this year. Yes, I also see you announcing your engagement around Christmas time of this year.

We did a two-year “spec” on your money situation and we did not find any-thing that would hinder you from moving away with your boyfriend whenever you want.

Did you notice I am saying whenever you want? This means if you don’t feel comfortable to quit your job just yet then don’t do it. Always trust your gut feelings like I have said in letter after letter to peo-ple.

We feel your boyfriend is a good, honest man and he is sincere in his feelings for you. He is not the type of guy to have sepa-rate bank accounts and watch his pennies.

He is an easygoing fellow and a fair man when it comes to you and his family and friends.

I wish you luck and God speed. Wendy

The Courtenay Public Library had an overdue book returned this week—one that was 30 years overdue.

Horace Kephart’s ‘Camping and Woodcraft,’ published in 1965, was checked out of the Courte-nay Library in the early ‘80s. It was never seen again, until a few days ago, when someone dropped it into the return slot at the Prince George Public Library.

Whoever returned it had wrapped the book in yellow flagging tape, and inserted a note which read, “This book had been borrowed from the Courtenay Library 30 years ago. I wish to return the book and pay the overdue fines.”

Enclosed with the note was $100 in cash.

Book fines from public libraries can range from between 5 to 30 cents per day in Canada.

While long overdue books that are years overdue can add up to into the thousands (humorously portrayed over the years in ‘Peanuts,’ ‘The Brady Bunch,’ and ‘Sein-feld’), in reality these fears are unfounded.

Overdue fines typically max out once the price of replacing the book is reached. The Courtney Public Library stops their over-due fines at the $10 mark.

The identify of the patron remains a mystery. The book was originally checked

out when the library used date-stamped cards. The continuous shift in com-puter technology has made this record-keeping system obsolete.

The Courtney Library does hope the person who returned the book will

contact them. They owe the person the $90.

Books being returned decades after they have been checked out happens more often than one might think.

In May of this year a UBC professor made the news when he returned a book of poems he had checked out of Queens University in Belfast 47 years ago.

William H. Bartlett’s ‘Facts I Ought to Know about the Government of My Coun-try’ was returned to the New Bedford Pub-lic Library 99 years after it was checked out. The borrower was a Polish immigrant who checked it out in 1910.

Her descendants found it packed away and promptly returned it.

A rare edition of Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Pic-ture of Dorian Gray’ was another overdue book found after the patron’s death.

78 years overdue, the patron’s daughter was pretty sure she would be arrested when she returned it. The Chicago Public Library was simply happy to have the book returned.

Of course all these are eclipsed by Emmerich De Vattel’s ‘The Law of Na-tions’, which was a whopping 221 years overdue.

It was checked out in 1789 from the New York Society Library—one of the first libraries established in the new nation. Having been located in an historic home in Virginia, it was returned to the library in 2010.

Again, happy to just to have the book returned, the Chief Librarian had no prob-lem waving the $300,000 fine that had ac-cumulated.

That the patron was George Washing-ton might have also had something to do with it.

EDMONTON — Canadian shoppers will be able to see next month if the beef they’re buying has been mechanically tenderized.

Labelling regulations to take effect Aug. 21 are designed to protect consumers after the largest meat recall in the coun-try’s history two years ago.

Health Canada says beef that has been mechanically

tenderized must have a sticker saying that.

Packaged steaks must also have cooking instructions that the meat must reach an inter-nal temperature of 63 C and must be turned at least twice.

Health Canada says the rules are meant to ensure that tenderized meat is labelled from the processor to the con-sumer, since it’s hard to tell just by looking at it.

Mechanical tenderizing is a

process for tougher cuts of meat where needles or blades are used to penetrate or pierce the surface, or to inject the meat with a marinade or ten-derizing solution.

While it makes the meat more tender, it can also inject E. coli bacteria that may be on the surface of the meat into the centre. That makes the bacteria harder to kill when cooking.

Federal officials began look-ing at issues surrounding me-

chanically tenderized meat after a massive E.-coli-related beef recall from Alberta’s XL Foods in 2012.

The plant was shut down for about a month when E. coli was found in processed beef. Eighteen people fell ill after eating meat linked to the plant.

The labels will appear in su-permarket meat coolers at a point in the summer when bar-becue season has already been sizzling for some time.

Label rules take effect soon for mechanically tenderized beef

“...and once the TAR (Target Acquisition Radar) has lock-on, this light will go green. Then just push this button here, and the rest’s automat-ic. Good luck! Oh, and make sure nobody’s standing be-hind the missile when you launch.”

Maybe the crew who launched the missile that brought down Malaysian Air-lines flight 17 over eastern Ukraine on Thursday after-noon were trained profession-als, but it seems unlikely. That crew (or somebody else) was good enough to down three Ukrainian Air Force planes over the rebel-held zone in the past week, but they weren’t good enough to tell the differ-ence between a military air-craft and a civilian airliner.

The Ukrainian planes were smallish aircraft flying low in a combat zone; the huge Malay-sian Airlines Boeing 777 was flying straight and steady at 10,000 metres (33,000 feet). A fully trained operator would know the difference in an in-stant. Somebody who had just had a crash course in firing Buk missiles (two tracked vehicles and a lot of electronics) might not. So 298 people died.

Who did it is actually pretty obvious. At least one Buk launch team was spotted by an Associated Press reporter in

the rebel-held zone on W e d n e s d a y , and there may have been more. The Rus-sians have been trying to deny the air-space

over the combat zone to the Ukrainians so that their army has to do all its fighting without air support and suffers in-creased casualties. Six Ukrainian planes have been shot down in the past six weeks.

The really damning evi-dence, however, is on the social media sites. First there is a post on a top rebel commander’s site, just at the time MH17 went down, claiming to have downed a Ukrainian transport plane. Within hours that post was deleted. Then the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) posted intercepted tele-phone conversations between rebel commanders on You-Tube.

“Demon”, commanding the rebel troops who are the first to the crash site, reports: “Cos-sacks from the Chernunkhino checkpoint shot down the plane.... They found the first body. It’s a civilian.”

“Any weapons there?” asks Greek. “None at all. Civilian things. Medical stuff, towels, toilet paper,” says Demon. “Any documents?” asks Greek. And Demon, finally realising what must have happened, replies: “Yes. From an Indonesian stu-dent. From Thompson Univer-sity.”

It’s probably not Thompson University, which is an entirely online institution in the United States. It’s almost certainly Thompson Rivers University, in Kamloops, British Colum-bia, Canada, which has a stu-dent exchange agreement with the International Islamic Edu-cation Council (IIEC) in Indo-nesia.

And there’s no way, without access to the crash site and with only a few hours to do the job, that the Ukrainian intelli-gence service could have come up with that kind of detail to put into a fake recording. It’s genuine. The rebels did it.

Russia didn’t want the Cos-sacks at Chernunkhino to shoot down a civilian airliner, but it has been giving the rebels heavy weapons while strenu-ously denying it. It has been caught red-handed, and hun-dreds have died. This is indeed a game-changer – but in which direction?

One option would be for Moscow to admit it, apologise

whole-heartedly, and abandon its clients in eastern Ukraine. That is unlikely to happen. As President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday, “This tragedy would not have occurred if there were peace in that coun-try, or in any case, if hostilities had not resumed in southeast Ukraine. And certainly, the government over whose terri-tory it occurred is responsible for this terrible tragedy.”

In other words, yeah, we gave the rebels the weapons, and they used them to shoot down the airliner, but the whole thing wouldn’t have happened if the Ukrainian gov-ernment had just given in to the rebels. So it’s really Kiev’s fault, not ours.

The signs are clear: Russia is going to brazen it out, and go on supplying the separatist rebels with weapons. The Western Europeans have been trying to look the other way (although the United States did impose some extra sanctions this week), but they can’t look away after this. Western sanc-tions against Russia are going to go up quickly and steeply now. It’s already ugly, and it’s going to get even uglier.

The Bandits saved the best for last.

The team won their final three games on their home field at Con-federation Park this weekend, completing a sweep over the Medi-cine Hat Majestics.

“Wen needed to start hitting the ball a bit bet-ter, we didn’t have that many hits yesterday [Saturday], but today, we really started hitting the ball better,” said head coach Paul Mrazek.

“A lot line shots, but because of the wind, they turned into easy fly balls, but our kids are starting to hit on the ground and on a line again.”

Those hits translated into runs, as the Bandits outscored their oppo-nents 18-7 over the three games.

Though the team had a commanding 9-3 lead already on Sunday afternoon, Devon Marra hit a home run in the sixth inning as the Ban-dits romped to a 10-3 win.

“We just wanted to get the game over with, get one more run and get out of here,” said

Marra. “But we couldn’t really do it till the last inning.”

Marra was a dual threat on the mound as well, throwing two strikeouts and two walks in four innings. Daniel Mercandelli came in re-lief, pitching one walk and giving up only one run.

The bats went to work, with 11 hits at the plate. Robert Nickell, Cedar Kemp and Marra all had a pair of RBI’s, while Tyler Thorn, Brandon Ouilette and Caden McCormack had RBI singles.

Connor Armstrong scored first after stealing second base, Ouilette came home on a sacri-fice fly, and Marra made it across home plate after a hit from Kemp.

Armstrong scored again in the fourth, and the Bandits went up 9-0 after the fourth inning.

Holding the Majes-tics scoreless for four in-nings was a direct result of strong defensive teamwork.

“We’re making the routine plays,” said Mrazek. “We were get-ting lots of ground balls, getting lots of fly balls and making the routine plays.”

With the bases load-ed in the fifth, Medicine Hat finally scored when Marra walked a batter. The Majestics added another run by the end of the inning.

Mercandelli hit the mound in the sixth, and Medicine Hat got their final run of the game on a sacrifice fly.

It was the largest margin of victory all weekend, as the team made a comeback earli-er in the day to win 5-4. The Bandits kicked off the series on Saturday with a 3-0 win.

The Majestics found themselves up 4-1 after the fourth inning, but the Bandits scored in the sixth and added three runs in the sev-enth to complete the

comeback.Noah Renette

pitched three innings, while Tyler Thorn and Cedar Kemp both han-dled two each. Collec-tively, they allowed six hits with four walks and one strikeout.

Cranbrook initially had the lead after Marra scored on a sacrifice fly from Kemp, but the Ma-jestics came back, earn-ing four runs in two consecutive innings.

Marra scored again in the sixth to make it a two-run deficit, and the Bandits came up big in the final inning. Arm-strong, McCormack and Ouilette all came home to edge out the win.

The Bandits opened their set with a 3-0 win on Saturday afternoon.

Armstrong and McCor-mack opened the scor-ing in the third inning, as both stole home base to go up 2-0. Jake Brom-ley hit an RBI single to score Kemp in the sixth inning to seal up the win.

Armstrong pitched six innings, throwing four strikeouts and four walks, allowing five hits without any runs. Marra came in for relief for one inning.

“It was good to start yesterday [Saturday] with Connor Armstrong on the mound,” said Mrazek. “He hadn’t been with us for a cou-ple weeks, so it was good to get him on the mound before we head down to Hamilton for the districts.”

NEW YORK - The Rangers and vet-eran forward Lee Stempniak have agreed to terms on a one-year contract.

The deal with the 31-year-old Stempniak was announced on Satur-day. In 73 regular-season games last season with Calgary and Pittsburgh, Stempniak had 12 goals and 22 assists.

During the playoffs with Pittsburgh, Stempniak had two goals and three points in 13 games.

In 637 career NHL games with St. Louis, Toronto, Phoenix, Calgary, and Pittsburgh, Stempniak has 150 goals and 191 assists. He has scored at least 14 goals in six of his nine seasons and reached 40 points three times.

Stempniak will earn $900,000 next season. That gives the Rangers about $12 million in salary cap space to sign restricted free agent forwards Derick Brassard, Mats Zuccarello, and Chris Kreider, and defenceman John Moore.

McIlroy wins British Open

DOUG FERGUSONAssociated Press

HOYLAKE, England - Rory McIlroy had to work a little harder, sweat a little more. No matter. Just like his other two majors, this British Open was never really in doubt.

Staked to a six-shot lead going into the final round, McIlroy turned back brief challenges with key birdies around the turn and a majestic drive at just the right moment to close with a 1-under 71 and com-plete a wire-to-wire vic-tory at Royal Liverpool.

In another major lacking drama over the final hour, what brought the British Open to life was the potential of its champion.

McIlroy won the U.S. Open by eight shots. He won the PGA Champi-onship by eight shots.

And with his two-shot victory over Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowl-er, the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland joined some elite company be-yond the names on that silver claret jug. Jack Nicklaus (23) and Tiger Woods (24) are the only other players since 1934

to win three majors be-fore age 25.

Boy Wonder is back. Or maybe he’s just get-ting started again.

“I’ve really found my passion again for golf,” McIlroy said. “Not that it ever dwindled, but it’s what I think about when I get up in the morning. It’s what I think about when I go to bed. I just want to be the best golf-er that I can be. And I know if I can do that, then trophies like this are within my capabili-ty.”

McIlroy put an end to this major with a power-ful drive down the fair-way at the par-5 16th, setting up a two-putt birdie to restore his lead to three shots. He fin-ished with two pars, the last putt from inches away.

McIlroy simply smiled, shared hugs with his caddie and Fowler, and then waved mother Rosie onto the green. She was not at the other two majors he won. He turned and ap-plauded the fans in the horseshoe arena around the 18th green, and then returned to collect the oldest trophy in golf.

TORONTO - Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos says he is looking to add to the Blue Jays by trade but danced around the issue of whether he can add payroll in the pro-cess.

Can you take on ad-ditional salary, he was asked?

“We can add play-ers,” Anthopoulos, who doubles as senior vice-president of base-ball operations, said prior to Sunday’s game against Texas. “We have the ability to have dia-logue at any time. I don’t see any reason why we won’t be able to add players. And obvi-ously players make money. No one plays for free.”

He declined to get into specifics when

asked if it was dollar in, dollar out.

“Those are things we keep in house,” he said.

Toronto’s current payroll is reportedly around US$137 million.

The issue of whether the Jays had hit the sala-ry ceiling has been raised since the pre-sea-son when free agent pitcher Elvis Santana chose Atlanta over To-ronto amidst reports that several Jays players had offered to restruc-ture their contracts to find the funds to sign Santana.

“I think we have enough resources to do what we need to do,” Anthopoulos said. “I think there’s ways we can be creative. I don’t have any doubt that we have the ability to add players. How that gets done, obviously we can always be creative.”

pening. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You hear what your friends say, and you’re likely to incorporate their thoughts into your plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be willing to take a stand. You will need to let your instincts guide you in certain circumstanc-es. Otherwise, you could be sub-ject to a misrepresentation. The unexpected remains a theme when dealing with others. Un-derstand that everything could change quickly. Tonight: Join a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) News could come in from a distance. You’ll have a lot of dif-ferent ideas, but if you pull back and look at the situation from an outside perspective, you will be likely to come to a conclusion that surprises you. Make room for the unexpected. Tonight: Make it a late night.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) An associate will give you con-servative yet significant feed-back. What you do with it is up to you. You even might want to sit on this information for a day or so. A call from someone will open doors quickly, which could put you in a different mindset. Tonight: Be present. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, and see what develops. You will want to open up a discussion later today. A child or new friend is likely to surprise you. Kick back and enjoy the moment. Let your imagina-tion take you to new heights. Tonight: Be direct with a partner or loved one. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll start the day in the right frame of mind. Make appoint-ments, decide on your plans and figure out whether a new exercise program will be help-ful. A family member could be reactive. Tonight: Listen to others as they share their war stories of the day! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity will come for-

ward. The most unexpected de-velopments could put you back to square one. You might need to rethink an important decision. A conversation with someone you see daily will give you consider-able insight. Tonight: Hang out with friends. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) It might take a lot for you to get going, but a surprise or unexpected development will energize you. One of the issues around you involves your financ-es and a change. Do what is best for you. Listen to news with an open mind. Tonight: Wherever you are, use your imagination. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could feel as if you have no control over a difficult situation. Lie low, and try to understand what someone wants from you. You suddenly might decide to reverse course. Expect this deci-sion to trigger some shockwaves. Tonight: Out and about. BORN TODAY Comedian Robin Williams (1951), cartoonist Garry Trudeau (1948), actor Don Knotts (1924) ***

Dear Annie: My significant other of 20 years is a great guy, and he’s been wonder-ful to me. Here’s the problem: “Bob” has an 11-year-old autistic grandson. Every time we have taken “Russell” on vacation with us, it hasn’t exactly been relaxing. I am 62 years old and work a difficult full-time job. I’d like a real vacation instead of babysitting a child with special needs. I have offered to take Russell on the weekends, but he says that isn’t good enough. Here’s the kicker: Russell lives nearby, and Bob can see him anytime all year round, but won’t visit at all. Yet in the past 10 months, Bob has taken several short trips with his friends, mostly to go fishing. These two weeks are my only vacation, and frankly, I am not up to having Russell the en-tire time. My daughter says I should be more compassionate and would feel differently if this were her child instead of Bob’s grand-son. Am I being selfish? -- Can’t Handle It Again Dear Can’t: No, although we understand why your daughter wants you to be more compassionate. It bothers us that Bob won’t spend time with his grandson unless you are around to take care of the boy. This is unfair to you, making your vacation another “job.” It is also unfair to Russell and his parents, who undoubtedly resent that Grandpa isn’t willing to visit during the year. Your offer to take Russell on weekends is kind, and we think Bob should take you up on it. So here’s the compromise: You have two weeks of vacation. Spend one week re-laxing, and take Russell for the other. If Bob insists on taking him for two weeks, we rec-ommend you spend one week on your own and let Bob learn how to deal with his grand-son until you get there. And then take the boy on an occasional weekend so he spends more quality time with his grandfather. Dear Annie: I had to chuckle when I read the letter from “Fluffy’s Competition,” be-cause my husband told me I loved our Jack Russell terrier more than I did him. My re-sponse was that I loved her, but it was a dif-ferent type of love. She has since died, and we have another Jack Russell, and she is my husband’s little girl. He now knows how much you can love a pet, and it is completely different. Oh, by the way, we just celebrated our 46th anniversary. -- R. Dear R.: We heard from a great many ani-mal lovers. Here’s a short sample: From Florida: I lived the same situation for 18 years with my beloved husband and his cat, Tom-Tom. He loved his cat so much. For years, they lay side by side, each suffer-ing and dying from cancer. I always said, “If I gave my husband a choice of me or the cat, you know who would have to go. And it would not be the cat!” They lived out their lives together and are together in heaven. My message to the wife is to love the cat as you do your husband. If you have love in your life, you have everything. Arizona: Wait a minute. This woman knew he had Fluffy when she married him and how he felt about her. Did she think he would get rid of the cat? It seems to me she is the one with the problem. Has she ever tried to be friends with Fluffy? Perhaps he is spending time in the bathroom with Fluffy because his wife is ignoring her. We have had six cats in our married life, but we loved them all. Perhaps Fluffy needs to be treated like a family member and not as an unwant-ed guest.

Newspapers are not a medium but media available for

everyone whenever they want it. They are growing and evolving to meet the consumer’s interests and lifestyles and incorporating the latest technological developments . This is certainly great for readers and advertisers.SOURCE: NADBANK JOURNAL SEPT/08

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