Favorit collected the “gently used” bikes from the public, tuned them up, souped them up, and turned them over to the Boys and Girls Club for immediate use. The Youth Wise Program’s activities are geared to some of the older kids, who can anticipate cycling activities in the near future.

RCMP arrested a man on Friday who had been declared missing after he jumped into the Kootenay River near Wardner Wednesday.

The 40-year-old man was arrested near Canal Flats on the morning of Friday, Sep-tember 13, according to

Cranbrook RCMP.He has been charged with

possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

The man was declared missing last week after he ran away from RCMP in Wardner and jumped into the Kootenay River.

The local RCMP Drug

Task Force was in the process of arresting two men in pos-session of cocaine on Wednesday, September 11 in Wardner. While one man was arrested, the other fled police and went into the river.

RCMP, the police service dog team, Cranbrook and Kimberley Search and Res-cue and an RCMP helicopter

searched for the man Wednesday evening and Thursday along the river. Po-lice recovered a large amount of cocaine that they believe the man had on his person during his escape.

“In addition to the river search, police conducted pa-trols and surveillance at sev-eral locations in Cranbrook,”

said Cpl. Chris Newel in an RCMP statement released Saturday.

“On the evening of Sep-tember 12, the subject’s truck had moved. Police lo-cated the truck at another location and continued sur-veillance for most of the night before they had to break off.

“On the morning of Sep-tember 13, the truck had moved again but police lo-cated it on Highway 93/95 near Canal Flats. The vehicle was stopped and the subject taken into custody without incident.”

He will appear in Cran-brook Provincial Court on Monday, September 16.

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.

Conservation officers continue to try to track two grizzly bears who have made repeated appearances in Kim-berley in the past week.

Last Thursday, September 12, the bears were seen in the late afternoon in the vicinity of McKim Middle School.

They were seen in the McKim area again on Friday, forcing cancellation of the school’s Terry Fox run.

CO Joe Carravetta says there are three conservations officers out look-ing for the bears and two traps have been set, but so far the bears have eluded capture.

The good news, Carravetta says, is that so far the bears are not exhibiting any aggressive behaviour.

“Of all the reports we’ve had — and we thank people for keeping us in-formed — there is no report of aggres-sive behaviour. They are mainly seen at night, except for about 4 o’clock Thursday afternoon, and they are

more interested in fruit trees than anything else.”

Traps have been set but it is diffi-cult because the bears aren’t particu-larly sticking to one area.

“They keep moving around. We are trying to track them, but our officers haven’t actually seen them yet.

“Right now it’s an ongoing assess-ment. We are paying close attention to them. So far they haven’t caused a sit-uation where we would have to take adverse action.”

Fruit trees are very full this year and Carravetta says there are reports around the region of grizzlies getting into fruit trees, although right now Kimberley is the only place with them active right in town.

“Trees are hanging with fruit ev-erywhere. We ask that if you are not going to eat it, pick it anyway. Give the fruit to the food bank. No attractants, no bears.”

Please report all sightings of the bears to the provincial RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277.

A man who appeared to be having an unlucky streak tried to break in to Scotiabank in Cranbrook on Friday, September 13.

At around 9:20 a.m. on Friday, during the bank’s operating hours, the man – who has two black eyes and tape across his nose suggesting it is broken – used a pry bar to try to break in through a back door at Scotiabank on the strip in Cranbrook.

According to an RCMP statement, the man saw bank staff and ran away.

Police scoured the area but were unable to locate the man.

As well as the black eyes and white tape across his nose, the man is de-scribed as being in his mid 20s, fit-looking, and was wearing jeans and a black hoody.

“The RCMP is asking that if anyone has seen this person or knows who he is or his whereabouts, they are re-quested to call their local police im-mediately,” said Cpl. Pat Prefontaine in a statement.

Call Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or East Kootenay Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Residents and busi-nesses of the City of Cranbrook connected to the city’s water system were experiencing water discolouration last weekend.

The cause has been determined to be the water in the Phillips Reservoir where the city draws its drinking water has turned over – a nor-

mal and naturally oc-curring phenomenon, which has increased the amount of sediment taken in by the water system intake.

Public Works water crews are continually monitoring the water quality. It is expected the discolouration could occur for a couple more days until the dirty water works its way through

the system. The current discolouration is not considered a health concern. Residents and businesses experienc-ing dirty water are asked to run their cold water taps for about an hour, which will help move the dirty water out of the system.

The city apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.

Dirty water not a health concern, city says

The latest develop-ments in a key local in-dustry will be demon-strated to the public next week.

Charlie Willis’s tree farm, a few miles east of Cranbrook, is hosting the Kootenay Silvopas-ture Tour on Thursday, Sept. 19.

The tour is spon-sored by the Agroforest-ry Industry Develop-ment Initiative (AIDI), and is part of a project designed to enhance both Christmas tree production and silvo-pasture for wildlife and livestock in the Koote-nays. A release from AIDI says prior work has determined that Christ-mas tree silvopastures have the potential to in-crease the number of hectares for animal for-age in the Kootenays.

The BC Agroforestry Industry Development Initiative is funding the Kootenay Silvopasture Willis leaves the

emerging limbs only on the north and south sides of the new tree, with the topmost limb on the north side of the stump.

“In the process of doing this, we’ve opened up the ground that we grow trees on,” Willis said. “There has been a subsequent in-crease in forage and na-tive grasses.”

Willis said, by tend-ing to the growing Christmas trees in this way, not only are the health and disease re-sistance of the trees im-proved, but local grass-lands native to the East Kootenay are enhanced, and forage areas for wildlife and cattle are increased.

Last year’s tour — the first in the AIDI project

— took a look at these pruning techniques.

This year’s tour will be looking at several as-pects of the Christmas tree and ranching in-dustries, and how they come together. Some of these aspects include:

• Livestock distribu-tion in silvopastures;

• Tree diseases and the relationship to tem-perature and bud break;

• Pruning and spac-ing of trees to maximize tree production and for-age;

• Raising of the level of the tree canopy for air flow and forage produc-tion;

• Fertilization tech-niques for the benefit of trees and forage;

• Managing soil water retention for trees and forage;

• Managing saska-

toons and rough fescue for elk and other wildlife;

• Forage cover in re-lation to trees.

The AIDI release said that the local producer groups who will directly benefit from the project are the Kootenay Christ-mas Tree Association (which has approxi-mately 20 members in the region) and the Koo-tenay Livestock Assoca-tion (with approximate-ly 80 members).

If you would like to attend, call Charlie Wil-lis at 250-489-4877, or email [email protected].

The tour takes place Thursday, Sept. 19, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. It starts from the junction of Pritchard Road and Highway 3/93, about eight miles east of Cran-brook.

Tree tour shows latest silvoculture researchTour and others like it, Willis said, to help with studies on forage avail-ability and plant identi-fication. In this way, Willis’s farm is serving as a working site, as part of the ongoing study on the economics of open-ing up forage availability on Christmas tree farms.

Charlie Willis devel-oped a method of prun-ing his Christmas trees based on the way fruit trees are pruned: a little higher from the ground, allowing for more air space between the tree and the ground.

This technique makes the trees less sus-ceptible to ground-borne diseases.

He also has a specific method of “stump cul-ture” pruning – after the tree is cut, the way the limbs are left on the stump from the initial pruning means when the tree regenerates it requires less pruning, with less stress on the new tree.

BURNABY, B.C. — The B.C. government has launched a new website inviting the public to offer ideas on changes to liquor laws.

Parliamentary Secre-tary for Liquor Reform John Yap introduced the site Saturday while tour-ing a brewery and said people can get involved through blog discus-sions, Twitter chats and feedback forms.

He said the province is changing liquor laws on the use and sale of

beer, wine and spirits to improve customer ser-vice and grow the econ-omy while ensuring public health and safety.

The website features a look at the history of liquor in B.C. since the 1800s, including prohi-bition in 1917, and the licensing of the prov-ince’s first winery in 1923.

Several meetings in-cluding various groups have been held this month in Victoria to dis-cuss reforms to B.C. li-quor laws.

They include the Centre for Addictions Research of BC, the Vic-toria Police Department and the Vancouver Is-land Helath Authority.

Yap is meeting with more groups through to October.

Input will be gath-ered on the website until the consultation process ends on Oct. 31, and a final report will be presented to Attorney General Suzanne Anton by Nov. 25.

It’s time for harvest-ing, and later this month Cranbrook will host a unique community feast to celebrate.

On Thursday, Sep-tember 19 at 5:30 p.m., East Kootenay residents are invited to bring homegrown fruits and vegetables to the Cran-brook Public Produce Garden for the 100 Mile Cook-Out.

“We want to get peo-ple together, bringing their own locally grown food to celebrate. It’s so abundant at this time of year and it’s such a nice way to celebrate our local food,” said coordi-nator Shannon Duncan.

The event is part of the East Kootenay Com-munity Eats initiative, a collaboration in food security between Wild-sight Kimberley/Cran-brook and the Cran-brook Food Action Committee.

The Cook-Out is a simple idea: bring fruit or veggies you have grown yourself or sourced from a local producer to the garden. There, folks will come together to cook up the produce in simple reci-pes that highlight the

superior taste of locally grown goods. Then, you’ll sit down and enjoy the spoils togeth-er, right there in the gar-den.

“The idea is that peo-ple can bring the raw fruits and vegetables that they have produced or sourced from a local producer – from the farmers’ market or something – then we can bring them togeth-er,” said Duncan.

Organizers will have grilled local sausage to complement the meal, available by donation.

“That’s a fun part of the process, to put them together and find differ-ent ways we can make nice side dishes to com-plement the sausage.”

Organizers will bring some recipe ideas, as well as condiments and local vinegars and oils.

“It will be really fo-cused on the flavour of those foods, because we will be simply preparing them,” said Duncan, adding that the Cook-Out will showcase “how much sweeter and crisper and more tex-tured the flavour is” from locally grown pro-duce.

The Public Produce Garden is the perfect

setting for the harvest feast, as vegetables are being harvested from the garden at the same time.

“The public produce garden is being harvest-ed really well,” said Duncan. “People are coming daily and taking part, and also taking it upon themselves to clean up the mess from harvesting.”

The Cranbrook Pub-lic Produce Garden is

located in MacKinnon Park on 18th Avenue North, between 6th and 8th Streets.

For more informa-tion, contact Shannon Gordon at 250-427-7981 or email [email protected].

“Falling in love with love isfalling for make-believe.”

There’s no point in the following; I’m just nattering to myself.

Probably before ‘Greensleeves’ was penned back in the Middle Ages, song-sters were composing lyrics about love. This was still going on in the Later Dark Ages when I was brought screaming un-musically into this weird world. Accord-ing to legend, I was born covered with hair and the nurses called me Tarzan, and we moviegoers all know how Tarzan screams, don’t we?

Quite honestly, I have no idea what musicians write about today because, when we are forced to listen to the noise, I and my ancient companions don’t understand what they’re singing, if that is what they’re supposed to be doing. Why, even Elvis al-ways sounded as if he were warbling ‘Glove me tender’.

But, as I was attempting to grow up, 90 per cent of the songs that I learned were about undying love and thus tended to nauseate me until I fell in love with the first girl that would give me the time of day, usually whilst punching my lights out.

There’s an old tune called ‘It’s a sin to tell a lie’. Some of the lyrics include, “be

sure it’s true when you say ‘I love you.’” What hogswallop! When I actually said those magical three words to the young woman whom I felt I ought to marry be-fore someone else got her, it was because I realized that I had to if I wanted to keep her ‘on ice’. I’d no idea what it meant; I still don’t.

Anyway, later on, when I said those ro-mantic words to my lovely wife, she would add, “For detrimental reasons”, misquot-

ing a popular song at the time.

Quite recently I was ap-palled to hear Debussy’s lovely melody ‘La mer’, re-corded as a song, named ‘Beyond the sea’, a love song.

And there was ‘If I loved you’, ‘People will say we’re in love’, ‘Some-where, my love’, ‘So in love’ then, with The Beatles, ‘All I need is love’. It just went on and on ad nauseum.

I sometimes wonder if Oscar Hammer-stein, the Gershwins or Rogers and Hart were ever really in love and why love has to reside in the heart. It’s probably be-cause the lyricists would have a terrible time with sphincter or thyroid. Imagine ‘Peg o’ my thorax, I love you’.

Wouldn’t the word ‘affection’ do? Love is a sense of euphoria, which is a tough thing to keep up day-in and day-out.

Before I wandered off into continental Europe I carefully rehearsed the amorous expressions Ich liebe dich, je t’aime and te adoro, just in case, but I don’t recall prac-ticing them; they might not have worked too well with grumpy truckers from whom I was attempting to hitch a ride; then you never know. Right?

Anyway, it just so happens that I was brought up in an area where it was all right to address any woman, especially an older woman as ‘love’. In fact, everyone called everyone else of the opposite sex ‘love’ even if they’d never met before. I recall, after a heavy date with a young lady with whom I was probably temporarily in love, falling asleep on a bus and being awak-ened by a stout, uniformed lady who, at the bus’s terminal informed me, “’Ere you are, love” then waited while I stumbled off into the wet night.

I think that in those days ‘love’ just meant that the one being addressed didn’t annoy the speaker too much. I wonder if that is really the true meaning of the word.

However, last week, my good friends Sean and Seanna - a match made in Gael-ic heaven – set off to visit their son, who lives abroad. Just before I drove them to the airport, Sean confided in me sadly, “The most exciting thing about this trip is going to be seeing our dog, Felicity, when we get back.” Ain’t affection grand?

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

Peter Warland

While Energy Minister Bill Bennett this week vowed to scale down BC Hydro’s proposed 26.4 per

cent rate increase, he also ruled out any independent review of elected rates by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

“If we were to just turn the whole thing back to the commission, I’m quite posi-tive that you would have something hap-pen in terms of rate increases that the people of B.C. would not be happy about,” Bennett told the legislature press gallery during a conference call. “So we’re not going to do that.”

Instead the government has delegated a platoon of senior public servants to re-view the Hydro proposal and “grind” it down to something more palatable.

Then Bennett himself will take that recommen-dation to cabinet for re-view and final approval, whereupon the new rates will be put in place by cab-inet order.

Bypassing the utilities commission is something that Hydro itself suggested in its initial presentation to the govern-ment-appointed Rates Working Group on Aug. 23.

The leaked PowerPoint presentation, stamped “privileged and confidential,” in-cludes a warning about “regulatory pro-cess risk,” creating “uncertainty” for the utility and the government alike.

Specifically, Hydro frets that BCUC, given a chance to scrutinize the rates, “is likely to enforce rate mitigation mecha-nisms and/or disallow certain costs.”

The disallowed costs might include “independent power project contracts,” which Hydro says account for $135 mil-lion of its professed need for a $1-billion revenue boost. The commission might also challenge Hydro’s growing practice (encouraged by the Liberals) of putting off current spending to myriad deferral ac-counts, for repayment in future years.

The document goes on to speculate

that the commission might take particular exception to the account sheltering the deferred cost of negotiating, litigating and settling First Nation claims, the ones where Hydro deferred the cost of buying out homeowners along the route of a con-troversial transmission line in Tsawwas-sen and the cost of cleaning up a blighted waterway in the provincial capital.

Together those account for more than half a billion dollars in deferred costs. Also at risk, according to Hydro, is its “rate stabilization regulatory account.”

All this could in turn lead “to uncer-tainty on rates and the government fiscal plan.”

The Liberal fiscal plan is heavily reliant on a steady siphoning of cash from Hydro

accounts into the provin-cial treasury, to pay for programs. The combined take in dividends, taxes and water rental fees ex-ceeds $1 billion.

If the commission were to disallow any part of a proposed Hydro rate in-

crease, the ripple effect could reduce the pool of cash available for those periodic raids on Crown corporation finances.

So, to summarize Hydro’s thinly veiled advice to the Liberals regarding any refer-ence of this or other matters to the utili-ties commission: “Don’t go there.”

Not that the Liberals needed much of a reminder, given what happened the last time the commission was poised to re-view a proposed increase in electricity rates.

It was the spring of 2012, Hydro was looking for 17 per cent over three years, and the commission was preparing for due diligence on the request with a full-blown set of public hearings.

The Liberals, fearing the consequenc-es of public scrutiny of their interference in everything from smart meters to green power to electricity self-sufficiency, tried to head off the process.

But the commission balked at the gov-

ernment’s heavy-handed suggestion that Hydro be allowed to negotiate a back-room deal with ratepayer interest groups, which would have bypassed the need for public hearings.

“Decisions made in negotiated settle-ment processes tend to be in the nature of trade-offs among the parties, each of which has its own particular interest,” wrote commissioner Alison Rhodes on behalf of a threemember regulatory panel.

“However, there is no broad represen-tation of the existing ratepayers. Further, there is no representation of potentially affected future ratepayers. The panel con-siders this a public interest issue and one that is of significant concern.”

She went on to cite a range of issues that had not been publicly vetted since the last set of hearings before the com-mission four years earlier.

“Many of these are public policy and/or public interest related-issues, and as such, they require an open and transpar-ent review,” wrote commissioner Rhodes.

“The panel is not satisfied that these issues can be adequately addressed in a negotiated settlement process. Rather, the panel finds these issues are better suited to an oral public hearing process.”

An open and transparent review? Not on the B.C. Liberal watch. Rebuffed on the overture for a backroom deal, the cab-inet brought out its heavy guns, and flatly ordered the commission to rubber stamp the rate increase, no questions asked.

Nor are the Liberals any more keen to have their rate regime subjected to scruti-ny by those meddlesome folks at the com-mission this time around.

People might not like the higher rates, as Bennett suggests. But at least they’d have an independent verdict on to what extent they can be blamed on the Liber-als. Which is why the commission is being neutralized once again.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

Well, this is odd. The heck with an exit strategy. We can’t even work out an admittance maneuver. The

automatic door-opener that proved so reli-able for presidents past has short-circuited and keeps slamming shut whenever Barack Obama tries to enter the war store with his empty shopping cart.

Or maybe he’s angling to be known as the architect of the modern war. A new kind with intermissions. So he augmented the fast lane with a flashing red. We got our-selves a chief executive more comfortable hitting the pause button than fast-forward. The world’s policeman stopped for a donut. And he might just linger at the counter to flirt with the waitress.

Intent on bringing experience as father of two young girls to the international stage, the president is punishing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by giving him a time-out. Yeah, that’ll send a message. “Use chemical weapons on your own peo-ple and no more milk and cookies for you. And if I hear one more word about human shields, mister, you are grounded for eter-nity plus two weeks.”

To all the people accusing the president

of sending mixed messages, so sorry for the rain delay in your regularly scheduled war. Hope the postponement of the cessa-tion of human life hasn’t inconvenienced you. But you have a point. First he calls for targeted punitive strikes against the Assad government. Then, not so much. He zigs.

He zags. Instead of shock and awe, we get talk and law. How dare Obama stop and think before he bombs? Clearly he’s con-flicted by the concept of conflict.

Must be what all those liberals refer to as … di-

plomacy. As alien as methane rain. Some sort of socialist stunt. Which we red blood-ed Americans find disconcerting. The Bushes were resolute. Once their minds were set, they stayed set. Like concrete. Even Clinton was rather lunkish. This guy, however, is limber and fluid. Much like a strawberry smoothie. Deliberation before liberation. Could set a troubling prece-dent.

Meanwhile, the public is confused. Ex-actly why are we sticking our noses up more Mideast skirts? Again. Don’t we al-ready have enough going on over here? And there? Of course, you think we’re

war-weary, you should talk to the Syrians. The rebels aren’t just fighting the govern-ment, they’re forced to fend off other reb-els as well. 3-D civil war from both ends. Squared.

It doesn’t help that everything we know is wrong. Dennis Rodman is flourishing as a Goodwill Ambassador. And Vladimir Putin is now a Peace Advocate. What’s next: Kim Kardashian, the Molecular Chemistry Consultant? Mike Tyson — Poet Laureate? Tim Tebow — NFL Quarter-back?

Putin offering to help is as suspicious as the wet spot on a veterinary couch. But at least we can trust Russia to tell the rest of the world whether Assad is lying about the strength and size of his chemical weapons cache. After all, they sold him the stuff.

Meanwhile, Congress slipped off the decision hook like a flippy floppy flounder. For one brief shining moment, they can stop worrying about being nailed down on “support a strike” or “not support a strike” and get back to the important business of this country… voting to repeal Obamacare. Again.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Kootenay Ice wrapped up the presea-son with a win on Sun-day afternoon, beating the Calgary Hitmen 9-3 in the Coleman Sports Complex in the Crows-nest Pass.

It was the second game in the same build-ing for the Ice over the weekend, as they dropped a 4-1 decision to the Lethbridge Hurri-canes on Friday evening.

Following Sunday’s game, Kootenay reas-signed forward Carter Sawicki and goaltender Jayden Sittler to Midget AAA with the Red Deer Optimist Chiefs.

That leaves the club with two goaltenders, eight defencemen and 14 forwards.

The victory against the Hitmen was the only win in five preseason games for the Ice.

Jaedon Descheneau scored twice while goal-tender Mackenzie Skap-ski turned away 26 shots to lead the squad to vic-tory.

“It was good to score six goals, I can tell you that,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill.

“It was a little bit of a slow start to the game for us, but we certainly played our best period in the third period, for sure, so it was good to see and hopefully some-thing to build off of for next week.”

Ben Thomas and Zane Jones scored in the opening frame to give the Hitmen an early lead. However, Koote-nay knotted things back up after 20 minutes on goals from Luke Philp and Mathew Alfaro.

Descheneau scored his two goals in the sec-ond period, with Cal-gary’s Brett Brooks

notching a solo effort in between.

Riding a one-goal lead into the final frame, the Ice kept up the pres-sure on goals from Sam Reinhart and Collin Shirley.

Friday’s game was a different result, as Tyler Wong led the Hurri-canes with a goal and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Ice.

Kootenay fell to a two-goal deficit after the first period, before Shir-ley responded on the powerplay in the middle frame.

Giorgio Estephan and Wong added late goals in the final period to seal up the scoring.

Wyatt Hoflin stood

between the pipes, mak-ing 20 saves in defeat while Jonny Hogue turned away the same amount of shots for the win.

Ending the presea-son with a win may in-ject some confidence into the team, but there is still a lot of hard work ahead, McGill said.

“This week is still a very important week in practice and teaching and we still have a long way to go in that regard, but you want them to at least go out happy, for sure,” McGill said.

Kootenay opens the regular season next Fri-day, Sept. 20th, on home ice against the Red Deer Rebels.

Serbia powers past Canada to reach Davis Cup final

GAVIN DAYCanadian Press

BELGRADE, Serbia - Canada’s Davis Cup run came to an end after Ser-bia’s Janko Tipsarevic beat Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil 7-6 (3), 6-2, 7-6 (6), giving Serbia a 3-2 win in the best-of-five tie.

Tipsarevic took a commanding 5-1 lead in the decisive tiebreak but had trouble closing out the game until match point when he desper-ately dove for a Pospisil dropshot.

The euphoria for the hosts started when the ball just barely made it over the net and past a helpless Pospisil, who had fallen to get to his previous shot and had to be helped off the floor.

Tipsarevic remained on the floor but it was under a pile of his team-mates who piled on top of him in celebration.

As it was in the tie-break, so it was earlier in the final set when Tipsar-evic had difficulty clos-ing out the plucky Cana-dian. Tipsarevic broke Pospisil in the fourth

game of the third set but faltered while serving for the match and allowed Pospisil to tie the set 5-5, giving the Canadian a glimmer of hope.

Pospisil needed treat-ment at 2-2 in the first set for an apparent right elbow injury. He came back and narrowly lost the first set in a tiebreak but faded in the latter two sets.

Tipsarevic broke the 41st-ranked Pospisil in the first game of the sec-ond set and held serve to see out the second.

It was the third match of the weekend for Po-spisil after he opened the tie losing to Novak Djokovic on Friday be-fore being part of the doubles team with Dan-iel Nestor that won on Saturday.

Tipsarevic effectively kept the 23-year-old Ca-nadian on the run in a number of long, baseline rallies and got 65 un-forced errors out of Po-spisil.

Serbia is back in the final for the first time since winning the tour-nament in 2010. It will

face the Czech Republic, in the final round.

Earlier, world No. 1 Novak Djokovic forced the decider when he took down No. 11 Milos Raonic 7-6 (1), 6-2, 6-2 in the first match of the day at Kombank Arena.

Raonic, of Thornhill, Ont., came in with a slight ankle injury that he picked up in his win over Tipsarevic on Fri-day.

“I didn’t feel limited. I just felt like I was dealing with discomfort,” said Raonic in his post-match press conference.

“It was getting worse and worse, little by little and I was sort of trying to put it all out there and fight through that situa-tion as much as I could and try to pretty much nullify it in my mind and get through as much as I can.”

Djokovic finished the two hour, eight minute long match with some sublime shot-making in the third set. Djokovic flourished on the clay court, a surface on which Raonic has had his struggles.

C ANADIAN PRESS

BELLEVILLE, Ont. - The NHL has reversed course and will not re-view high-sticking pen-alties this season, league executive vice-president and director of hockey operations Colin Camp-bell said Saturday.

The competition committee had agreed to review all high-stick-ing calls for validity, but Campbell said concerns about goals scored on delayed penalties led

the NHL to cancel that plan for now.

“We’re punting right now,” Campbell said in an interview with The Canadian Press. “We’re going to watch it, we’re going to talk about it and see how many times it happens. We just don’t want to do something that we weren’t totally comfortable with on video review. We want everything to be clear and precise and we didn’t think that was.”

Lions get revenge, maul Alouettes 36-14

Monte Ste wartCanadian Press

VANCOUVER - Tra-vis Lulay couldn’t be sure how his badly he injured his shoulder.

Other than that, no complaints.

The B.C. quarter-back threw for a touch-down and ran for an-other before leaving late with a sore shoulder as the Lions beat the Mon-treal Alouettes 36-14 on Sunday.

B.C. improved to 7-4 while avenging a last-second loss in Mon-treal on Aug. 22. The Lions also atoned for a loss a week earlier on the road against Hamil-ton.

“It feels good to get a win,” said Lulay. “It was important for us as a team just coming off of last week.”

Lulay was hurt while scoring his touchdown on a 14-yard run as he and Als cornerback Geoff Tisdale collided. With his arm hanging low, Lulay left the game.

“It’s general (sore-ness) right now, and I have stiffness, so that’s what we’re going to look at,” said Lulay, adding he and doctors will see

how the shoulder re-sponds over the next couple of days.

The Alouettes, who were held scoreless in the first half and trailed throughout, fell to 4-7. Montreal suffered its 13th loss in its last 14 visits to Vancouver after failing to generate a re-semblence of the vi-cious pass rush that it displayed at home against B.C. in August.

The Lions also adapt-ed after Hamilton had followed Montreal’s cue and bombarded Lulay.

“I thought we had some good answers, and we executed some things early in the foot-ball game,” said Lulay. “It wasn’t perfect (offen-sively), but the defence really set the tone. They gave us some opportu-nities to score.”

Lulay completed 19-of-28 passes for 197 yards while also tossing three interceptions. He was credited with just one completion for mi-nus-one yard in the sec-ond half after complet-ing 18-of-22 passes for 198 yards in the first half.

But the outcome was never really in doubt after B.C. built a 15-0 half-time lead.

“I’m proud of my team, because we an-swered the bell,” said Lions coach Mike Bene-vides. “We haven’t lost any games back to back. What we have to do now is get back and win a couple back-to-back games. We’ll build on this one and move on.”

Nitros rattle off two wins to open seasontre vor Cr awley

Sports Editor

The Dynamiters have started their newest campaign with a bang, winning their home-opener and a road game in a pair of matchups over the weekend.

Jeremy Mousseau made 28 saves for the shutout to backstop the Nitros to a 5-0 romp over the visiting Golden Rockets on Saturday night, while Brandon Bogdanek was the over-time hero, lifting the Dy-namiters to a 4-3 over-time victory against the Rebels in Castlegar on

Sunday.Kimberley peppered

36 shots on Golden in their first game, and An-drew Miller drew first blood just over five min-utes into the game.

Buckley notched his pair in the second peri-od on the powerplay, while Jason Richter and Jared Marchi also scored with the man-advan-tage in the final frame.

Adam Johnson took the loss in net for the the Rockets.

Kimberley capital-ized four times in 10 op-portunities with the powerplay, while the Rockets were shut out in

seven of their own chances with the man-advantage.

The Nitros hit the road for a Sunday after-noon game, with Bog-danek potting his OT marker to secure the second straight victory in as many days.

The Nitros emerged from the first period with a one goal lead,

after Dylan Sibbald and Richter lit the lamp, with Aaron Brewer answer-ing for the Rebels.

Castlegar tied up the game in the second pe-riod on a goal from Dar-ren Medeiros, and Brewer added his sec-ond of the game in the final period to take the lead.

However, Richter notched another goal on the power play with seven minutes remain-ing in the game to knot things up and send the affair to overtime.

Mousseau stood in goal, making 25 saves for the Nitros, while

Nate Rabbit turned away 21 shots in defeat.

The Nitros notched two markers with four powerplay opportuni-ties, while shutting out the Rebels on four of their own.

Kimberley hits the road for a game against the Rockies next Friday evening, before return-ing home on Saturday for the Putt to Puck golf tournament and a matchup against the Fernie Ghostriders.

Broncos beat Giants in NFL’s Manning BowlBarry wilnerAssociated Press

EAST RUTHER-FORD, N.J. - Unless they meet again in the post-season, this was the last Manning Bowl.

No less an authority than Peyton Manning says so, and why not: Peyton is 3-0 against younger brother Eli in regular-season games after Denver’s 41-23 rout Sunday of the New York Giants.

“I think both of us are glad that it’s over with,”

Peyton said after throw-ing for two touchdowns. “Postseason is one thing, but I don’t think I’ll make it to the next regular sea-son (meeting, in four years). I think this’ll be the end of it. So I’ll be happy about that. And the family will.”

Big brother didn’t need another record-ty-ing seven touchdown passes. He got this win with a huge boost from Knowshon Moreno, who rushed for two touch-downs and 93 yards on

just 13 carries. Denver (2-0), which has won 13 straight regular-season games, ran for 109 yards altogether.

With Manning find-ing Wes Welker and Ju-lius Thomas for touch-downs, and Moreno scoring on sprints down the right side, Denver dominated much of the matchup between Super Bowl MVP quarterbacks; Eli has won two titles, Peyton one. The older Manning’s first two vic-tories against his sibling

came when Peyton was with the Colts.

“For me, it’s a strange feeling,” Peyton said. “It’s not quite as enjoyable as if you beat somebody else.”

Peyton finished 30 of 43 for 307 yards with no interceptions. Eli was 28 of 39 for 362 yards, but was picked off four times; he had 15 interceptions all of last season and has seven already this year.

After the rout, the brothers shared a very short handshake while

surrounded by a mob of photographers and TV cameras. They had ex-changed their greetings before the kickoff.

“We chatted for 10 minutes, nothing specif-ic, just brotherly talk,” Eli said. “After that, there wasn’t a whole lot of brotherly interaction.”

The Giants also al-lowed Trindon Holli-day’s spectacular 81-yard punt return for a touchdown, the first such score in the league this season.

“I thought we had some good answers,

and we executed some things early in the football game.”

The RCMP “Cops for Kids” bike riders arrived in Cranbrook Wednesday, Sept. 11, which meant was time for that annual social event of the season — the All Male Fashion show at the Tamarack Centre. This year’s event had an “East Coast Kitchen Party” theme, and was appropriately sold out with an boisterous audience. More than $85,000 had been raised so far by the Cops for Kids riders — watch these pages for updates on how the Cranbrook fundraiser went. 100 per cent of proceeds raised from the

event go to the Cops for Kids charity, which in turn supports local kids in need. Photos by Barry Coulter

daily townsman / daily Bulletin

Dear Annie: On a recent trip to visit my daughter, I found out that my 12-year-old grandson has taken up Irish step dancing. What bothers me is that he dances in the girls division.

My daughter told me it began when a girls troupe needed one more dancer and he agreed to join them. He had to wear a girl’s costume, and the judges allowed it. Now my daughter is regularly entering him in competitions for girls. The last time I saw an event program, I noticed that his name was spelled with an extra “i” at the end so it ap-pears to be female. And I have to say, dressed in a girl’s costume with wig and makeup, you can hardly tell he’s a boy.

Is this fraud? There is prize money in-volved. Could my daughter be sued? When I talked to my grandson about this, he said he doesn’t mind. Should I inform the judges at the next performance or just leave it be? -- Surprised Grandmother

Dear Surprised: If there is money being awarded, then yes, it is fraudulent. The first time it happened, the judges were aware that a boy was competing and allowed it. But if your daughter is disguising his gender, it puts his entire troupe at risk for elimination.

Nonetheless, we don’t recommend you get involved by reporting it. Caution your daughter that at some point her son will be discovered and there will be consequences, but what she chooses to do about that is up to her. There is no reason her son cannot compete in a boys division. (And we won’t get into the possibility that your grandson may enjoy dressing up as a girl.)

Dear Annie: We are full-time residents on a lake and owners of a pool. We are continu-ally astonished at the behavior of some peo-ple who visit only during the summer. I’d like to address this to them for next year:

When visiting your lake home, do not as-sume that you have an open invitation to be at our pool just because you are in the same complex. Do not come over to swim uninvit-ed. At the very least, call to ask whether it is OK. And when you do come over, do not stay for hours and hours. Sometimes we would like to use our pool with our family. Do not come to our pool when we are not home. If you are at the pool and we leave the house, take that as your cue to pack up.

Our pool is an extension of our living space. Imagine how you would feel if you came home to find people inside your house, watching your TV. Annie, we are social people and like to entertain, but we would appreciate some common courtesy. -- Your Private Pool Owner

Dear Pool Owner: Is it possible that the folks who visit your complex believe your pool is common space, available to all? Please don’t suffer in silence. Lock the pool gates when you aren’t home. Post a sign in-forming people that it’s a private pool and requires an invitation. Most importantly, be willing to tell the intruders that you’d ap-preciate it if they would phone first. It is not rude to make your boundaries known.

Dear Annie: As a boutique owner, I would like to respond to “Toledo,” who complained that sales associates accost her in every aisle and follow her around.

Please leave your kitchen sink-sized handbag at home or in your car trunk. When you come into my store carrying shopping bags, big coats and enormous purses, you are a security risk. My best defense is to have my associates tail you to make sure you are not stealing.

It would save us both a lot of aggravation if you would be so courteous as to come in with a small, closed handbag. -- Shrinkage Control

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You easily could be unnerved or irritated today. Funnel these feelings into a positive outlet. Getting some exercise will help, as will carrying a project or two to completion. A child or loved might be provocative. Know that this behavior is only tem-porary. Tonight: Lie low.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You could become very stub-born when faced with unusual insights or behavior. Holding on to the status quo will not work. Face facts, and integrate them into your thinking. Others will admire the clarity that you are able to offer as a result. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)When the unexpected occurs, detach rather than react. You could witness odd behavior from friends, loved ones or co-workers. You initially might be taken aback or concerned, but realize that what is hap-pening will have a very good outcome. Tonight: Reach out to

a friend.CANCER (June 21-July 22)You could be worried about your finances, yet you still might overindulge since you don’t want to deal with the obvious. Stop, take a deep breath and re-verse course. You might have to disappoint someone, so let him or her down gently. Tonight: Time to design a new budget. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You might feel challenged by certain events, conversations or new information. You don’t need to feel that way -- you have the capacity to integrate your knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes. Laughter surrounds you. Tonight: Refuse to get involved in a hassle.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Throw yourself into your work or whatever your plans might be. Be flexible if a partner or asso-ciate starts adding an element of chaos, as this person makes your life more exciting. Do not push him or her away; instead, try to enjoy these moments. To-night: Unwind. Let go of stress.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could feel as if you are being

pushed by an assertive friend. This person wants you to follow him or her on a certain path. You might not like his or her reaction after you indicate that you will make your own choices. This, too, will pass. Tonight: You need to have more fun.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)It will feel as if everyone has a different agenda from yours. Know that they might want you to follow theirs. Keeping the peace could be difficult, as people will react to the unex-pected in strange ways. Take a walk in order to ease your stress. Tonight: Soak in a warm bubble bath.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You might want to move quickly with a great idea. There will be a reaction either way, so proceed as you’d like to. Your creativity will surge and enable you to ad-just with ease to a changeable yet dynamic situation. Tonight: Show some concern for a friend or loved one.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)A domestic or real-estate mat-ter will consume your attention. You also might discover some-

thing unexpected. Don’t allow your focus to wander far from your objectives in the future. Know that you might need to have someone play devil’s advo-cate. Tonight: Pay your bills.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You might be consumed by a sudden change of direction. The unexpected keeps forcing you to make adjustments. Know that what is happening is for the better. Others could be ex-periencing a similar situation, but not going with the flow. To-night: Listen to an irate friend.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You might want to stay home or play it low-key. Make that OK. Be very decisive in how you handle your finances. Count your change and make sure your accounts are balanced. If you feel lucky, buy a lotto ticket. Tonight: Dive headfirst into a long-overdue household project.

Susan Marie Clark (nee Kastelan)

It is with deep regret and sadness we announce the passing of our mother Susan Marie Clark (nee Kastelan) on September 05, 2013. Susan was born January10, 1927 in Cudworth Saskatchewan.

Susan loved car rides, to many garage sales she went and if it was .25 cents and painted silver she had

to have it. Susan was a very social person who loved the company of her many friends, she was always the first to help out be it card games, playing bocci at Stellar Place, baking or church functions.

Susan was a housewife who raised her four children, and in later life she joined the work force. She worked as a home support person in Edmonton and Cranbrook. She very much loved her work and helping others. Susan’s other passion was her faith. She was an active member of the CWL until she could no longer help out.

Susan is predeceased by her loving husband Leslie (1997). She is survived by her sister Peggy of Langley, brother Tony (Beth) of Creston, daughters Linda (Bruce) of Castlegar, Joanne (Les) of Edmonton, Sons David (Kim) of Castlegar, Darrell (Karen) of Yorkton Saskatchewan, grandchildren Stewart (Pam), Micheal (Stacey), Jennifer (Dennis) of Castlegar, Corrianne of Edmonton, Ben and Charles of Saskatoon, Thomas (Carrie) of Regina. And three great-grand children.

The family would like to thank Dr. Merritt, the staff at Castleview Care Home, and Jennifer Palsson for the care and compassion shown to our mother during her long illness.

Susan has requested to be reunited with her husband at Idaho Peak. A private gathering will take place next year by the family.

Donations can be made to the charity of your choice in Susan’s memory.

Sarah Vass of Castlegar Funeral Chapel has been entrusted with arrangements.

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

Renowned comic Larry the Cable Guy will be performing at West-ern Financial Place, Jan-uary 16, 2014. Tickets go on sale to the public on Wednesday, September 18 at 10 a.m.

Larry the Cable Guy is a multiplatinum re-cording artist, Grammy nominee, Billboard award winner and one of the top comedians in the U.S. He has his own line of merchandise and continues to sell out theatres and arenas across the United States.

Larry has created The Git-R-Done Foun-dation, which was named after Larry’s sig-nature catchphrase, and has donated more than $7 million to various charities.

Currently, Larry is the host of Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy for History, which has been ordered for a third season. The show premiered in 2011 and was a huge ratings

success. In each epi-sode, Larry visits vari-ous sites across the country, revealing bits of real history while im-mersing himself in new and different lifestyles, jobs and hobbies that celebrate the American experience.

Larry reunited with Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall for Them Idiots Whirled Tour, which was filmed as a special for CMT and aired in early 2012.

The show was re-leased on DVD and CD by Warner Bros/Jack Re-cords, debuting at num-ber one on the Billboard Comedy Charts.

Larry, Jeff and Bill will also star in a new animated show for CMT called Bounty Hunters, which is set to premiere in the spring of 2013.

Larry’s road to star-dom included the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, which grossed more than $15 million. The ensemble cast of come-dians included Jeff Fox-worthy and Bill Engvall.

The tour’s success led to Blue Collar Com-

edy Tour, The Movie, which premiered on Comedy Central in No-vember 2003 and at the time, was the highest rated movie in the chan-nel’s history. The DVD has sold more than 4 million units.

The sequel Blue Col-lar Comedy Tour Rides Again, has sold more than 3 million units.

In March 2006, the Blue Collar boys reunit-ed to shoot Blue Collar Comedy Tour, One For The Road in Washing-ton, DC at the Warner Theater.

The movie had its world premiere on Comedy Central June 4, 2006, again receiving some of the highest rat-ings. The soundtrack was nominated for a 2006 Grammy award.

Larry has won Bill-board’s 2005 Comedy Artist of the Year and Comedy Album of the Year and he received the Billboard Top Comedy Tour Award in 2006.

TORONTO — The Ikea monkey may have worn clothing and slept in his former owner’s bed, but he is still a wild animal and therefore should not be returned to the woman who calls herself his “mom,’’ a judge ruled Friday.

The minute Darwin the monkey made his great escape from Yas-min Nakhuda’s car at the Toronto furniture store in December she lost any ownership claim to him, Ontario Superior Court Judge Mary Vallee found.

“(Case law) states that the nature of an an-imal, rather than how it is treated, determines whether it is wild,’’ Val-lee wrote in her deci-sion.

“The monkey lived in Ms. Nakhuda’s house. He wore clothing. For a time, he slept in Ms. Na-khuda’s bed. These at-tempts at domestication were imposed on him.’’

But Darwin bit peo-

ple, Nakhuda’s husband especially, and could not be house broken so he had to wear a diaper. He wore a harness most of the time so he couldn’t run away.

“I have no hesitation in finding that this mon-key is not a domestic an-imal,’’ Vallee wrote.

When Darwin es-caped at the Ikea store he was scooped up by animal services at sent

to Story Book Farm Pri-mate Sanctuary in Sun-derland, Ont. Nakhuda sued the sanctuary in a bid to get Darwin back.

Since Darwin was not a domestic animal, a wild animal legal princi-ple must apply that says a person only owns a wild animal for as long as it is in their posses-sion, Vallee found.

In other words, once a wild animal kept as a

pet runs away, it no lon-ger legally belongs to its former owner.

That principle dates back to 1917 and was the only case the law-yers could find that dealt with the owner-ship of a wild animal that has escaped.

Although that case is nearly 100 years old, the principle still applies, Vallee wrote.

“Some people do keep exotic animals as pets,’’ she wrote. “A high onus regarding provi-sion of secure housing for wild animals is ap-propriate to place on their owners. Wild ani-mals, particularly exotic ones, can be dangerous to the public.’’

It’s an issue that will resurface, predicted Kevin Toyne, the lawyer for the sanctuary.

“I think that as more and more people ac-quire exotic animals and treat them as pets you’re going to see more cases like this,’’ he said in an interview.

“As these cases go to

court some of these areas that weren’t really addressed in this case will probably be ad-dressed by the courts. Whether or not the pro-vincial government or the federal government steps in to pass legisla-tion that would change the law, I really don’t know.’’

Nakhuda’s lawyer’s office said she would not be commenting on the decision Friday. After she lost previous interim bids to get Dar-win back, Nakhuda left court distraught.

She recently got a tat-too, a picture of which is posted on her support-ers’ Facebook page, of an image of Darwin in the shearling coat he wore during his Ikea parking lot romp and the words “My Monkey’’ in script.

Sanctuary owner Sherri Delaney was also not available for an in-terview, but her lawyer said Darwin will stay, at least for now, at Story Book, where he is inter-

acting with other pri-mates and receiving high-quality veterinary care.

The case was not about what is in the best interests of the monkey, Vallee wrote.

“The monkey is not a child,’’ she wrote. “Cal-lous as it may seem, the monkey is a chattel, that is to say, a piece of prop-erty.’’

Nakhuda had argued that animal services tricked her into signing a form surrendering her ownership of Darwin.

But Vallee found that Nakhuda was “upset, but was not unduly in-fluenced’’ when she signed the form. She is a lawyer with 20 years of experience and would have understood what she was signing, Vallee wrote.

“She signed the form more likely because she knew that she had been caught with an illegal animal rather than as a result of experiencing any duress,’’ Vallee wrote.
