Man missing in Bull River
Search and Rescue, RCMP working hard to find a 20-yearold man assumed to have driven into the Bull River on Tuesday, June 25 Barry Coulter Townsman Staff
A desperate search was underway of the Bull River Tuesday above the Aberfeldie Dam for a missing vehicle and driver. Cpl Pat Prefontaine of the Cranbrook RCMP told Global’s Mike Turner Wednesday morning that a call came in at 10 p.m. Tuesday night about an accident on the Bull River Forest Service Road. “Members attended the scene and determined that a vehicle had gone off a sharp curve and down a steep embankment,” Prefontaine said. “We couldn’t find the vehicle but we did find some debris.

downtown business
Late hours just one strategy C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca
Kimberley City Councillor Don McCormick has been very busy the past few months working with the Chamber of Commerce and local businesses to build a Downtown Business Association. McCormick says perceptions can have a lot to do with how people view a community, and that there may be some perceptions about Kimberley, the Platzl and
local business that are not entirely accurate. “Perceptions can be created by a few visible things,” McCormick said. “I’ve spoke to a number of businesses downtown who say that the past year was their best year. A lot of others were up. That’s not to say that everyone is doing well, or couldn’t do better, but it’s not a state of depression.” Part of it is empty storefronts, he says. But he also says if you take out the empty
space where the Fields store was —which was closed as part of a national shut down of the chain — and the empty building gutted by fire earlier this year, the vacancy rate in the Platzl is bout 20 to 25 per cent. “That’s pretty normal for downtown areas,” he said. “Cranbrook and Nelson have about the same vacancy rate, but our Platzl is so concentrated a few empty spots are noticed.”

Support would have to be shown for backyard livestock From Page 1 Rob Palermo is a local, living in Marysville, who is advocating for Kimberley and surrounding area to have rabbits and chickens in backyards. “I think that everyone should have the right to provide themselves with healthy food options,” Palermo said in his presentation to City Council Monday evening. He presented his ideas in a comprehensive letter to city saying everyone should have the right, if they wish to provide for themselves healthier, natural, safe and cost effective means of getting food. “Our children are learning about the food chain and the cycle of life as well as responsibility and animal welfare,” Palermo wrote in his letter. Palermo says that he
currently has six chickens that provide him with about four to five eggs a day and he has three rabbits that provide meat for his family. The rabbits will not over-populate because Palermo says they are carefully monitored and that this particular kind of rabbit does not produce a huge litter as some do. “All of our animals are treated as part of the family and treated with respect and dignity and fed healthy natural food,” wrote Palermo in his letter to the city. After a conversation he had with one of his neighbours, Palermo removed the rabbits to accommodate others in his vicinity. “We have taken appropriate measured to ensure our choice of raising these animals
will not be affecting our neighbours and believe the measures taken would fall into guidelines set up by other neighbouring cities like Invermere and Nelson,” With regards to attracting unwanted predators, Palermo said that the chickens don’t smell and there needs to be a strong smell for there to be attraction. As well, the issue of slaughter causing disease was brought up, however Palermo explained that there are two safe options for slaughter - one being to take out the animals in the bush and slaughter there, leaving extras for animals, the other to take the animals to a professional mean butcher facility. Growing your own food reduces the carbon footprint as well,
explains Palermo, another one of the reasons why he is advocating for the backyard livestock. “If there is an inspection required of our backyard by the bylaw officer to ensure that everything is within acceptable levels of smell and harassment factor, I will gladly show them what we have going on,” Palermo wrote in his letter. After his presentation to Council about the subject, it was decided that Palermo would have to create a petition and gather more interested parties. To contact Rob Palermo in support of the project you can call 250-420-7529. City Council said that there would be a

Selkirk Secondary graduates its Class of 2013 this weekend, with prom Friday and the ceremonies Saturday. Traditionally, Saturday evening is reserved for gatherings at the grads’ homes, and later in the evening, a grad party, usually located in the bush, often near Cherry Creek. Another Kimberley
tradition is local emergency responders — Ambulance, Fire and Search and Rescue personnel — offering their time to make sure all grads make it home safely. Local business kicks in with car dealers and the Kimberley Alpine Resort providing vehicles, gas stations providing the gas, local restaurants feeding the drivers. The rules for grads are simple. Call 250-4274114 beginning at 6 p.m on Saturday, June 29, 2013 and the Ride for
Life volunteers will pick you up. They will stay available through the night. Grads are asked to remember that if you are at a bush party, the vehicles will not go off the pavement. For instance, if the party is at Cherry Creek, you will have to walk up to Clarricoates Road. And remember, these Ride for Life drivers are volunteers — all they want is a safe and fun grad weekend for everyone. Please be respectful and give them a big thank you.

Get all the cardboard you can find and build your very own boat. The Kimberley Aquatic Centre is bringing cheer in the midst of the dreadful storms with a fun summer kick off - Kimberley’s 1st annual cardboard boat race. “It’s a fun event that we want to have at the end of the school year and beginning of the summer,” said Veronica Bordeira of the Kimberley Aquatic Centre. The event is happening this Friday at 2 p.m., at the pool with a BBQ at 1 p.m. put on by the Lions Club. “It’s open to anyone - it’s open to families, individuals or organizations,” said
Bordeira. “It can be any age to build but the person in the boat must be 7 years or older.” The boats have to be built before the event and the brought to the pool. “All you are allowed to use to make your boat is cardboard or duck-tape and there’s only one person allowed in the boat.” As well, participants have to register before hand. Registration fees are $5 per person and $20 for a team up to 6 people. With the fee, participants can stay for the townie swim afterwards. To register and for more information you can call the Kimberley Aquatic Centre at 250-427-2983.

Extended shopping hours just one strategy for DBA From Page 1 Another visible thing that gives a very bad impression is for sale signs, McCormick said. “The perception is that business is not good.
But what we have in Kimberley is a lot of business owners of the same age trying to retire. A whole bunch of them started their businesses at the same time, aged
together and are reaching 70 years old. The downtown is in a state of transition, and that’s not bad. It’s normal. But the signs create a terrible impression.�
One thing McCormick would like to see improve is the support of downtown businesses by locals. It has always been a little less than it could be.
“The common feedback is, ‘those aren’t the kind of stores I need’. That may be true, but just going downtown for a coffee is easy to do. My wife and I were in the Platzl for coffee last weekend and it was just great. People were out and about, there was a vibrancy to it.� Creating vibrancy in the Platzl is top of the agenda for the new Downtown Business Association. “There is a long wish list, but we are going to start with things that don’t cost too much money but can have a big effect. That’s why we
are going to focus in the short term on the late store hours on Thursday and Saturday evenings.� Extended hours have been tried in the past, but McCormick says that this time there is a commitment to try it right through the summer, from now until September. “You have to give something a long trial period to see if it works,� he said. “You can’t expect to see immediate results for something like extended hours.� There will also be some entertainment offered during those extended hours. The First
Saturdays program is another attempt to get some traffic into the Platzl. “The DBA is putting together a wide range of things. Later on, once traffic builds, other things that require money will be looked at,� McCormick said. Those things might include beautification of the back of the Platzl. But the message McCormick wants out there is that things are moving forward. “It’s been an extremely positive process so far,� he said. “We feel we are beginning down a path that will show results.�

Water continues to rise in Wasa Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
Lake water continues to lap against homes in Wasa as levels increased again Wednesday. According to a statement by the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK), the lake was expected to rise another 10 to 12 inches through Wednesday. A total of 13,500 sandbags were delivered to Wasa, and a forestry crew from Cranbrook sandbagged around nine homes. Twelve pumps are in the community to help residents remove water from their homes. Kootenay Pond (also known as the slough) dropped 22 centimetres on Tuesday and is now draining into the Kootenay River. The flap gate between the slough and Cameron Pond is now open and draining. BC Parks closed boat launches on Wasa Lake Wednesday, and the RDEK is urging boaters to stay off Wasa Lake. “The water is literally lapping at the door of some homes and cabins. “In other areas, residents have spent hours and hours sandbagging to protect their homes and our concern is that the wake and rough waters caused by boats could not only increase water in the affected homes, but knock down the sandbags that have
been so carefully placed.” Water levels at Wasa could continue to rise for another four to seven days. Community members have set up a blog, www.wasa-lake.blogspot.ca, where residents can see updates on the flood. Meanwhile, in the Elk Valley the clean-up is underway. Hosmer residents have taken advantage of Red Cross kits to help with clean up. The RDEK is waiving tipping fees for flood-related garbage. An evacuation alert is still in place for homes in Dutch Creek, south of Fairmont. Work to reinforce rap rap along the banks of the creek is almost complete, and the water has stopped rising. All roads are open, but at Skookumchuck bridge and in Wasa the highway is still only single-lane alternating. It’s hoped the bridge will be reopened to two lanes later this week. Off the beaten path, many backcountry roads are off limits. This week, Rocky Mountain Forest District updated the list of closed backcountry roads, and continues to urge people to stay away from the backcountry. Many popular hiking areas will not be accessible until roads are repaired, including Fisher
Peak, Tanglefoot, and Perry Creek. Here is a list of closed roads: Bull River Forest Service Road is closed at 32km due to water on the road, at 52km and 54km half of the road is gone and not passable, at 63km and 68km there are washouts, at 71km there is a landslide, at 92km the river is on the road, and at 94km there is a washout. Wildhorse Forest Service Road is closed at 15.5km due to large rocks on the road. Mause Creek Forest Service Road is closed at 4km due to a landslide on the road. Summer Lake Forest Service Road is closed at 50km due to a washout. White River (Whiteswan) Forest Service Road is closed at 32.5km due to the bridge approach being washed out, at 37km due to a washout, and at 44km a bridge is washed out. Kootenay Forest Service Road is closed at 5km due to water flowing over the road, and at 32km due to a bridge approach being washed out. Skookumchuk Forest Service Road is closed at 35km due to a washout. St. Marys West Fork bridge is closed at 10km due to a washout. St. Mary’s Lake outlet bridge is closed due to high water and instabili-
ty. The bridge is closed at this time. The bridge will be replaced between July 15 to August 31, 2013. Findlay Forest Service Road is closed at 20km due to high water. There is a high potential for bridge damage. The Gray Creek Pass is closed at 3km due to a washout. On the Flathead Forest Service Road from Corbin south to Flathead town site, there are multiple washouts including all bridges and culverts. On River Road Forest Service Road at 3km, near Elko, the approach to bridge is damaged. Use caution when crossing. Elk River Forest Service Road is closed at 2km due to water on the road, at 104km, 118km and 123km the road closed due to washouts, at 125km the bridge approach is washed out, at 138km there is a debris slide on the road, at 140km the bridge is closed (both approaches are washed out), and at 145km Weary Creek bridge is washed out. Perry Creek bridge at two kilometres will be closed from July 2 to July 6 for deck replacement. Visit www.for.gov. bc.ca/drm/services/ road-works.htm for full details.
High water hampers Great News For Seniors! Great News For Seniors! Bull River search Great News For Seniors! From Page 1 “Since that time we’ve been searching for the vehicle and the 20-year-old driver.” The accident happened about 25 kilometres up the Bull River Forest Service Road from the Fort Steele-Wardner Road, between the first and second bridges. “There are tracks leading off the road,” Prefontaine said. “It’s quite a drop down. We’ve been searching from that point down to the dam reservoir.” Also involved in the search are Cranbrook
Search and Rescue and Kimberley Search and Rescue. Two helicopters are flying over the river and the banks. Prefontaine said extra ground search and rescue personnel has been called in, as well as Rope Search and Rescue and a Swift Water Rescue unit out of Nelson. RCMP weren’t releasing the identity of the missing driver as of Wednesday morning. But family and friends were out in numbers searching, and Prefontaine said RCMP were doing everything to assist them.
People in kayaks were even patrolling the river, searching islands and log jams, Prefontaine said. RCMP and Search and Rescue personnel have been involved in a similar search for a vehicle and two missing occupants in Findlay Creek west of Canal Flats. As in that situation, the water conditions are making the job more difficult. “We’re at high water,” Prefontaine said. “The turbidity is very high. As it did at Findlay Creek, it hampers the search.

W
hat a week for reading it has been! Is there anything better to do on a rainy evening than cosy into the couch with a blanket, a cup of tea and a good book? This week’s novel was a quick one to read — pretty light going, and very engrossing. I took the opportunity to get started on a longer, denser novel for next week. Is that cheating? *** To me, summer wouldn’t be complete without a “guilty pleasure” read: a book that draws you in quickly, that engrosses you, that may not expand your mind, but that is enjoyable every minute despite its faults. Mary Higgins Clark’s 42 books fit that mould, and “Daddy’s Gone A Hunting” is no different. I first read a Mary Higgins Clark novel at an all-inclusive resort in Phuket, Thailand, and every time since then that I start one of her books, I’m transported back to that ideal summer vacation. Higgins Clark’s most recent novel, “Daddy’s Gone A Hunt-
SALLY MACDONALD ing” centres around two sisters, Kate and Hannah Connelly, in New York City. For three generations, the Connelly family has been in the business of antique furniture reproductions. Now the family business is floundering, and the sisters are trying to convince their disconnected father Doug to sell the valuable property. Late one night, Kate asks retired craftsman Gus to meet her at the business’s headquarters. As they enter the warehouse, they smell gas, but they are too late. A massive explosion destroys the warehouse and its $20 million collection of rare antiques. Gus is
killed, and Kate is left in a coma that she can’t awake from. As she lies in her hospital bed, Hannah Connelly and her playboy father struggle to deal with the repercussions of the explosion. Why were Kate and Gus at the complex at that time of the night? Will the insurance company pay out the massive policy since the fire marshals have determined the explosion was arson? Could Kate have planned the explosion to force her father to sell the business, giving the sisters their share of the millions? Or was Gus, bitter at being forced into retirement, exacting payback against his employer? The answers to these questions lead only to even more questions, these ones going back more than 20 years. As the family’s history is explored, more and more mysteries are uncovered, and secrets begin to be revealed. For the reader, Mary Higgins Clark delivers another masterpiece of suspense. She leaves clues as the plot progresses, some heralding devel-
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
opments you will see coming, others just red herrings to distract you from the massive twist lying in wait. Discerning readers may be able to predict how the story will unravel – I made a note when I was about a tenth into the novel about who the culprit would turn out to be, but then immediately began to doubt myself. That’s a big part of the pleasure in the suspense novels that Higgins Clark so cleverly crafts: making guesses about how things will turn out, only to have your guesses proved wrong, and having to start all over again. If anything, I would have liked fewer “tells” in the story, and for the reader to be given greater license to make their own determinations before the big reveal at the novel’s climax. But there is no doubt that Higgins Clark is the master of this style of novel, and every twist and turn gives the reader new pleasure as the mysteries – and there are many in this book – unfold before your eyes.

news/features The Ombudsperson is on your side Kim Carter stops in Cranbrook as part of East Kootenay tour
I
Ba rry Coulter
f you’re caught in the gears and you don’t know where to turn, there is someone who is on your side. Kim Carter, the Provincial Ombudsperson, came through Cranbrook on Tuesday as part of a tour of the southeast Interior. The tour is part of the Office’s regular efforts at raising awareness. Carter took some time to come to the Townsman offices Tuesday to talk about the Office. “Our office is located in Victoria, but we serve the whole province,” she said. “We set up our office for the day (in the towns being visited), and give people the chance to come in and talk. And the tour allows me to talk to different organizations about what we do. It gives people the sense that we understand, and helps us understand that the province doesn’t end at the Tsawassen Ferry.” While in Cranbrook, Carter made a presentation to City Council, talked with the Rotary Clubs, and met with service and advocacy groups. The previous day she saw the Elk Valley flood damage first-hand while in Sparwood, and on Wednesday, was scheduled to head up to Invermere. The Office of the Ombudsperson receives inquiries and complaints about the programs, services and practices of public agencies in B.C. While not acting as an advocate, the Office can conduct an investigation to determine if a public agency is treating the people it serves fairly and reasonably, and in many cases can effect a systemic change for the better. Carter works with an knowledgable and compassionate staff. “There are real people on the end of the phone, who will listen,” she said. “And if it is something where we can
Provincial Ombudsperson Kim Carter have a role to play we will do so.” The Ombudsperson is an officer of the provincial legislature, independent of government and political parties. He or she is appointed for a six-year term, with one renewal. Carter has just been re-appointed, and so she will serve in the capacity until 2018. Her background is in military — she served in the Canadian Forces as a military judge, and was involved in war crimes investigations in the former Yugoslavia. The B.C. Office of the Ombudsperson deals with between 7,500 and 8,000 complaints and inquiries a year, not all of which result in investigations, Carter said. “Looking at administrative fairness, that’s pretty much our focus,” Carter said. The function of the office is both an art and a science.
“Our office counters the tendency towards administrative efficiency, as opposed to public service,” Carter said. “We apply principles of administrative fairness, which are pretty well covered in law. But fairness isn’t just about following the law. It’s also about good neighbourliness from the point of view of members of the public being serviced by public agencies. Just ‘doing everything we were obliged to do’ may not be enough (on the part of an agency). So it’s a mixture of law and common sense.” The Office of the Ombudsperson can investigate provincial ministries, provincial boards and commissions (like WorkSafe BC, for example), provincial Crown corporations, municipalities and regional districts, schools, universities and colleges, hospitals and health authorities, and more. Last week, Carter released the annual report of last year’s inquiries, requests for information, assistance or complaints. The top five authorities receiving complaints were the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Ministry of Social Development, Ministry of Justice, Workers’ Compensation Board and ICBC. The job itself is both challenging and rewarding. “It can be a challenge, dealing with complaints all the time,” Carter said. “But for the staff and myself, the commitment to fair treatment is rewarding — the fact that we have the ability to help people and make the province a better place to live.” Carter urges members of the public who feel they have been treated unfairly to contact the Office, or even to learn more. So for more information or to file a complaint go to www.ombudsman.bc.ca or call 1-800-567-3247.

As Wildlife Caretaker, Snell will live on Kangaroo Island in South Australia for six months and spend his time swimming with great white sharks, snorkelling with sea lions, hanging out with kangaroos and helping to conserve the pristine
natural environment of the island. He will document his experience through videos and blogs. “I am incredibly elated to have won the position of Wildlife Caretaker,” Snell said. “I can’t wait to take my passion and enthusiasm for life, travel and conservation
to beautiful South Australia. I am looking forward to sharing all of my amazing experiences with the world.” Since completing the Adventure Tourism Business Operations program at the college’s Golden campus in 2009, Snell completed a Canadian International

WHL releases regular season schedules TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice will kick off their 2013/14 season at Western Financial Place on Friday, Sept. 20th, 2013, with a home and home series against the Red Deer Rebels. The WHL released the full regular season schedule on Wednesday that includes 36 home and away games for every club across the league.
It’s a pretty routine schedule for the club, however, there a change from previous years as the whole season was set up through a computer program, rather than a room of league executives hashing it out, said Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth. “We would meet in June, usually right after Father’s Day, we would sit in a room and we’d go around—it was actually quite an archaic process for a league that’s so advanced,” said Chynoweth. “This has been on the table for a number of years and it’s the first year that it came together. “It’s a company that does the NHL schedule as well, and a number of other leagues, so obvi-
ously, they’re familiar with hockey and I think that—to me—is the biggest thing that’s different.” There are a few minor differences from last year, such as fewer mid-week games on home ice. Over the season, there will be five games on a Tuesday night, one game on a Wednesday night and five Sunday games. The rest of the home dates are on Friday (14) and Saturday (11). Kootenay’s first major road trip is a jaunt up to Edmonton for a pair of back-to-back games with the Oil Kings near the end of October. The Ice will be busy from the end of October into the first two weeks of December, with 21 games over a course of 46 days. “That’s a lot of hockey when you’re travelling, going out to B.C., going out to Saskatchewan—there is some travel there.” Looking at the breakdown, the Ice will play the Central Division teams 34 times, going up against Calgary and Red Deer a total of eight times—half at home, half on the road. Kootenay faces off against Edmonton, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge six times each, splitting down the middle for home and road appearances.

Bryan Colangelo stepping down as Raptors president TORONTO - Bryan Colangelo is stepping down as president of the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors announced that Colangelo will remain as a consultant with the team and with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment moving forward. Colangelo joined the Raptors in Feb. 2006 as president and general manager. He was not extended as GM after Toronto ended its 2012-2013 season with a 34-48 record. The Raptors did reach an agreement with Colangelo to keep him on as president, but the 48-year-old said that on further reflection stepping down was the best course of action. Masai Ujiri, who worked under Colangelo as Toronto’s assistant GM from 2008 to 2010, took over Colangelo’s GM position in June. Canadian Press

McGill to help coach national junior team TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Hockey Canada shook up the program that manages the country’s national teams on Wednesday, and Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill was a part of it. The Ice bench boss has been named an assistant coach for Canadian squad that will compete in the 2014 World Junior Championships, reuniting with a familiar face in the process.
“It’s a tremendous honour to be able to represent your country in one of the highest-profile positions in Hockey Canada.” Ryan McGill Brent Sutter, a twotime gold medalist while at the helm of the team in 2005 and 2006, will go for his third championship as the head coach, while Benoit Groulx, head coach and GM of the QMJHL’s Gatineau Olympiques, will join McGill as the other assistant. “Brent called the other day and asked if I wanted to join him and I thought it was a great opportunity and we’ve worked together before so it was a comfortable situation for myself,” said McGill, speaking from Toronto, where the announcement was
made. “It’s a tremendous honour to be able to represent your country in one of the highest-profile positions in Hockey Canada and to work with a special group of kids and coaching staff is, I think, a tremendous honour. “Certainly one that I’m very proud to be asked to do it.” McGill and Sutter have history together, as the two worked the bench with the Calgary Flames when the latter was at the head coaching helm of the club. McGill said Sutter’s resume not just at the World Juniors, but over his career, will be a huge advantage to the players and staff. “Being around today, I think in our meetings, his experience in those situations is really sharp and really proactive and forthcoming,” said McGill, “so I think that’s the biggest thing, is the experience in those situations that’s going to be tremendous not only for the players, but for the group and staff.” It was a big day for Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence, the umbrella organization that manages U17 to U-20 national teams, as a new management staff and scouting crew was unveiled in Toronto. Ryan Jankowski replaces Kevin Predergast as head scout, and will be responsible for scouring the country for the best U-20 talent to field at the World Juniors.

Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill has been named as an assistant coach for Team Canada at the 2014 IIHF World Junior Championship in Sweden this December. “[I’m] looking forward to the process of how you get to your team,” said McGill, “and the summer camp and how you evaluate players and then how you evaluate players from September to December.” McGill isn’t the first Kootenay Ice coach to get involved with Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence. Mark Holick served as an assistant
coach on Canada’s U-18 team in 2009, while Cory Clouston was the head coach of the same squad in 2006. Kootenay’s involvement in the Program of Excellence is something that Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth is pretty proud of. “I’m a big supporter of that program, have been throughout the years,” Chynoweth said. “You look at Cory Clous-
ton was involved in it, Mark Holick was involved with it, Cory Cameron, now Ryan McGill. “We’ve been very fortunate that a lot of our coaches have been involved with the Program of Excellence, whether it be the Under18 or the Under-20 teams, so it’s a great feather in the cap for Ryan McGill and well deserved.”
Golfathon to raise money for provincial ALS society TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Doug Schneider, the resident pro at St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino, will be hitting the links all day on Thursday to raise money for the ALS Society of B.C. Schneider has golfed since the early age of 12 and has worked as a golf professional since 1995 throughout BC, joining the St. Eugene team in 2012. This will be the first year Schneider has participated in this event
and he hopes to continue to support this great year after year. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive neuromuscular degenerative disease. It attacks the motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to voluntary muscles in the body. When these muscles fail to receive messages, they lose strength, atrophy and die.

Lukowich sounds off on Tortorella hire Br ad Ziemer Vancouver Sun
VANCOUVER — If John Tortorella is going to play the bad cop, and there’s really no doubt about that, then Brad Lukowich says he’s going to need his lead assistant to be the good cop to have success as the new head coach of the Vancouver Canucks. Lukowich, a recently retired defenceman who played briefly with the Canucks in 2009-10, spent three seasons in two separate stints of his NHL career playing for Tortorella with the Tampa Bay Lightning. That first stint went well as the Lightning won the Stanley Cup in 2004, which was Lukowich’s second season with the team. Lukowich said Monday that having Craig Ramsay as associate coach helped players better deal with the combustible Tortorella. “He (Ramsay) was a great guy for Torts because Torts came so hard at guys and Rammer was so good at backing him up and giving the same message
but at a less emotional level,” Lukowich said. “He was the armaround-your-shoulder kind of assistant coach that Torts needed.” Lukowich left Tampa after that Cup win and played with both the New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils. And when the Cranbrook native returned to the Lightning for the 200708 season something had changed. Tortorella was still there, but Ramsay was not. “He had Mike Sullivan, who was a different guy,” Lukowich said. “He was a lot like Torts. It was kind of like beating the same drum. You’d hear it from Torts and then you’d hear it from the next guy in pretty much the same way. If you made a bad play you heard about it a couple of times the same way, with the same delivery. “So I’m not sure the message got across quite as clearly as it did the first time. With Rammer and Torts, they were a great one-two punch. Going to Vancouver he is going to
need the same thing, he is going to need a guy that can come in and settle down the crew when it’s needed.”
“Personally, I thought he was a great coach. When I first went to Tampa the first two years he was pushing you every day to be your best.” Brad Lukowich Lukowich, who was hired Monday as an assistant coach with the WHL’s Lethbridge Hurricanes, said playing for Tortorella will be a huge adjustment for Canucks players used to the more easygoing Alain Vigneault. “Coach V was great, but he was much more reserved, almost quiet,” Lukowich said. “In the room he was a very quiet guy, his teachings were really short. Torts is a tough coach, is very thorough, and he de-
mands a lot from you. “Personally, I thought he was a great coach. When I first went to Tampa the first two years he was pushing you every day to be your best. He brings a different player out of a lot of different guys, but you’ve got to be able to take what he’s throwing at you. He makes you tougher mentally, he makes you tougher physically, but there is no hiding from the issue that he is very hard on guys. Some guys can take it and some guys can’t.” Sullivan remained on Tortorella’s staff in his four-year stint with the Rangers, so it will be interesting to see if he is brought to Vancouver. Ramsay is currently an assistant with the Florida Panthers. Lukowich thinks Tortorella can succeed with the Canucks, who have called a 1 p.m. news conference on Tuesday to announce his signing. “It’s a different dynamic having a guy like that as a head coach,” he said. “But if they can get everyone to rally behind
the guy, they’re going to be a tough team …I think he is going to be a good fit. He is the kind of guy who can take the distractions out of the dressing room and put the best product out onto the ice.” Doug MacLean isn’t so sure about that. MacLean, a Sportsnet analyst and former NHL head coach and general manager, said he was shocked by news that the Canucks had settled on Tortorella. “I was caught off guard by it, to be quite honest,” MacLean said. “I don’t even know Tortorella. I don’t wish him bad luck, I don’t wish the Canucks bad luck. I was just shocked by it, that’s all.” MacLean said it’s become clear that the main reason Tortorella got fired in New York was because “the veterans didn’t buy into the system that he was trying to employ.” “To me, I see the Canucks as a veteran group and I look at the personnel there and I don’t see it as a great fit.”
Early round surprise exits at Wimbledon Howard Fendrich Associated Press
LONDON - As tumultuous a day as professional tennis has produced in its nearly half-century history ended in the most unforeseeable, unexplainable way of all: A second-round loss by Roger Federer at the All England Club. The seven-time Wimbledon champion and 17-time Grand Slam champ shuffled off Centre Court with dusk approaching on the fortnight’s first Wednesday, his head bowed, his streak of reaching at least the quarterfinals at a record 36 consecutive major tournaments snapped by a man ranked 116th. His remarkable 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5), 7-5, 7-6 (5) defeat against Sergiy
Stakhovsky at the All England Club marked Federer’s earliest Grand Slam exit in a decade. He lost in the first round of the French Open on May 26, 2003, back before he owned a single trophy from any of the sport’s most important sites. “This is a setback, a disappointment, whatever you want to call it,” said Federer, the defending champion. “Got to get over this one. Some haven’t hurt this much, that’s for sure.” He had plenty of company on a wild, wild Wednesday brimming with surprising results, a slew of injuries - and all manner of sliding and tumbling on the revered grass courts, prompting questions about whether something made
them more slippery. Seven players left because of withdrawals or mid-match retirements, believed to be the most in a single day at a Grand Slam tournament in the 45-year Open era. Among that group: second-seeded Victoria Azarenka; sixth-seeded Jo-Wilfr ie d Ts onga ; 18th-seeded John Isner, who will forever be remembered for winning a 70-68 fifth set in the longest match ever; and Steve Darcis, the man who stunned 12time major champion Rafael Nadal on Monday. “Very black day,” summed up 10th-seeded Marin Cilic, who said a bad left knee forced him to pull out of his match. Federer was one of seven players who have
been ranked No. 1 to depart the tournament in a span of about 8 1/2 hours. The others: Maria Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion, who lost 6-3, 6-4 to 131st-ranked Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal; Caroline Wozniacki; Ana Ivanovic; Jelena Jankovic; Azarenka; and Lleyton Hewitt, who won Wimbledon in 2002.
All told, five players who have combined to win 26 Grand Slam titles headed home, along with another three who have been the runner-up at a major tournament. “Today has been bizarre,” said 17th-seeded Sloane Stephens of the U.S., who stuck around by winning her match 8-6 in the third set. “I don’t know what’s going on.”

Sports Off-season questions loom for deflated Boston Bruins Associated Press
BOSTON Patrice Bergeron has a punctured lung and is at a Boston-area hospital for observation. The Bruins forward was admitted Monday night, after Boston lost to Chicago, 3-2, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final at TD Garden - a defeat which ended the season. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli and coach Claude Julien addressed Bergeron’s status Wednesday, the same day they held exit interviews with the players. “He played through all of this, and he was a warrior,” Chiarelli said. “I can’t say enough about his performance and what he did while being injured.” Bergeron was already slowed by injuries headed into Game 6. He was a question mark to even play due to a broken rib and torn cartilage. After not participating in the morning skate Monday, he appeared during warmups and played in the loss. In the first period, though, he suffered a separated shoulder. “After the game, obviously, he was in pain from his ribs and stuff like that, which is an automatic thing. The doctors
said let’s send him to the hospital for observation, so he went there,” Julien said. “I think they did the right thing and the right job by sending him there. “And then he just stayed.” Bergeron had 10 goals and 32 points in the shortened regular season, as well as nine and 15, respectively, in the post-season. Combined, he had a plus-26 rating this year as the Bruins finished second in the Northeast Division, and defeated the Maple Leafs, Rangers and Penguins to secure a second Eastern Conference title in three seasons. “It was a challenge,” Julien said. “I think the biggest one, as we mentioned there, we had some guys, some key guys, that were injured along the way, and on a lot of occasions, we weren’t able to finish with the same number we started.” And so an off-season of question marks is off and running in Boston, as the Bruins look to keep their solid nucleus in town while also plot for the future. Forward Nathan Horton will become a free agent next month, and in a class that’s regarded as weak and doesn’t feature a lot of star power, he
is easily one of the most marketable, skilled players available. “I have enjoyed my time here obviously. Two out of three years, I’ve been here we’ve been in the Stanley Cup and we’ve won one time and I said a million times, the guys in the room are amazing,” Horton said. “It’s been a lot of fun and I really enjoy everyone and every player on the team.” One potential drawback to Horton, is he will require off-season shoulder surgery. “When you make a decision to try and bring back
guys that are on the eve of free agency, you’d like to think that you can make the right decision before the last possible moment. Usually, that’s what I try and do,” Chiarelli said. “I try to be proactive and try to get ahead of stuff, and this year it was too hard. Specifically on Nathan, I put him in with the rest of the group. They’ve been moving targets and I’m going to try to push through it now. “It’s not the ideal way, but I’m going to try to push through it now.” One part of the team that became even stronger in the
post-season was defensive depth. With injuries to several defencemen, Chiarelli was able to flex some organizational numbers on the blue line that will allow the Bruins to let some higher-priced, older players walk away. Defenceman Andrew Ference, for instance, will not be re-signed, and his place will likely be filled by Dougie Hamilton, Matt Bartkowski and Torey Krug, who all played in the playoffs. “We’re losing not just a good player, but also a leader in the dressing room and everything else,” Julien said of
Ference. “He’s always gone above and beyond with the little things in the dressing room and everything that comes with it. He’s been a good teammate, smart.” Ference played in just 14 of 22 playoff games with two assists. “He’s been part of this, what we’ve built here. (He brings that) warrior-type of attitude and playing style for his size,” Chiarelli said. “You can’t say enough about his leadership and what he’s brought to our organization. It was a tough conversation to have.”
Cavs mull options with 1st overall pick at NBA draft Tom Withers Associated Press
CLEVELAND - Once again, the Cavaliers are facing a major summer “decision.” The last one was hard to accept. This one is difficult to make. And while it doesn’t quite stack up with LeBron James’ infamous announcement that he was bolting from home three years ago and leaving Cleveland heartbroken and
short of a title, the Cavs are faced with the challenge of picking another top-flight player to get them back to respectability. For the second time in three years and third time over the past decade, the Cavaliers hold the No. 1 overall draft pick. This year, it’s both a blessing and burden. With no player emerging as the consensus first choice, the Cavs, who also own the No. 19 pick and
two second-round selections (Nos. 31 and 33) have spent the past month doing their due diligence by meeting with players, assessing their needs and weighing their many options. They’ve discussed several trades to rid themselves of the top pick, move down and acquire veterans for one of the league’s youngest teams. The Cavs have kept things close to the vest
during the weeks leading into the draft. General manager Chris Grant has not spoken publicly to the media since firing coach Byron Scott after last season, and the Cavs did not open their pre-draft workouts to reporters. As of Tuesday night, Grant and his staff were still working on their draft board and it’s possible they could go into Thursday with their plan still evolving.

news BCTF calls vote on B.C. bargaining Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is holding a member vote this week, seeking a mandate to reject “government interference” in province-wide bargaining. Outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert notified 40,000 public school teachers of the vote in a letter sent out Monday, a copy of which was obtained by Black Press. Teachers have until Friday to vote. “We need to send a strong message to government that teachers will not accept a 10-year scheme to lock in another decade of deteriorating conditions,” Lambert wrote. “The ballot will read: ‘Do you support our bargaining team and their efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement, and oppose any government interference in the bargaining process? Yes or No’.” The vote signals a reversal of the BCTF position on bargaining. In a submission to the government in December 2012, the union called for “provincial bargaining between the BCTF and government regard-

Public School Employers’ Association in January. “This ‘agreement in committee’ allowed bargaining to move forward in a quiet, out-ofthe-media-spotlight manner and meetings began in February,” Iker said. “The talks since have been the most constructive talks in years and that’s why teachers are hoping the provincial government does not interfere.” The province-wide vote follows Monday’s announcement by Education Minister Peter Fassbender that he has asked for a “pause” in bargaining, to appoint a direct government negotiator for province-wide issues with a

sparkling blue lagoon – technicoloured tropical fish caught in sunlight add a dash of colour. The fringe of powder white sand is lined with palms and a coral reef. Getting around Rarotonga is a casual meander on the island bus, which travels clockwise and counter-clockwise around the road which circles the island. Scooters are commonplace, where wheels are weighted down by mamma or papa and sometimes more than one chubby toddler. There’s not a traffic light to be seen. Whichever direction you go you’ll find paw paw patches, fields of taro, mango, bananas and the health-filled noni can be spotted. Water is a way of life – from inland to the outreaches of the lagoon, water is paramount to island life. Fishing, scuba diving, trawling, bone fishing, paddling, snorkelling, sailing, swimming or simply splashing in the sea are vital components of this is-
land’s lifestyle. Tradition and a cultural heritage are trademarks of the island. Music and dancing, taught from childhood, are part of island life. Arts and crafts of weaving, carving and painting are an integral part of Cook Island heritage nurtured with pride. Take a hiking tour with the blonde-dreadlocked island character Pa. He will take you into the hills to explore the lush rainforest and hear legends of wars, weddings, love affairs and tales which stretch your imagination. Pa also offers shorter, less strenuous walks explaining the flora and fauna, and medicinal plants handed down to him by his grandmother. Saturday is market day at the Punanga Nui Market, located in Avarua town. This farmers’ market is open from 6 a.m. to about 11:30 a.m. The vibrant marketplace offers fresh local produce, cooked food and treats, drinking coconuts, arts, jewellery,
carvings and handicrafts. Bands often perform. It’s a wonderful, colourful atmosphere, and well worth a visit. Less than an hour’s flight from Rarotonga lies the stunning atoll of Aitutaki, a vast, crystal clear lagoon, scattered with tiny motus of the finest white sand. Take a half day cruise in Aitutaki (an experience in itself – the Aitutakians sing, dance and their storytellying is captivating). Get your passport stamped on One Foot Island, snorkel in the clearest waters ever seen or simply spend hours slipping from sand to sea. Time spent hopping from the pure white motus sprinkled around the lagoon is one of life’s great memories. And put the experience of bone fishing to the top of that list. Whether in Rarotongo or Aitutaki, each Sunday the white coral and limestone churches fill with songs of worship. This is an incredibly moving experience and

visitors are welcome to attend. A church donation is appreciated. After the service you may find yourself invited by the pastor to enjoy island fruits and a refreshment in the nearby hall with the congregation. A few fast facts about The Cooks: the maximum stay is 31 days. The local currency is New Zealand dollars. When renting a car or scooter it is mandatory to have a current Cook Islands driver’s licence (obtained from the police station in Avarua). Colourful Cook Islands stamps are sought after by stamp collectors. Several internet cafes are located on Rarotonga and Aitutaki. Wifi is available at key locations. Maori is the local language; however everyone speaks English. Mountain City Travel has first-hand Cooks knowledge, having been there twice.

MANAGER’S REPORT Karin Penner The Satellite office at Elizabeth Lake is now open and our office at 2279 Cranbrook St. N. will be open 7days a week from 9o’clock am – 6 o’clock pm. The Chamber is very grateful for the dedication of all our volunteers who run the center at Elizabeth Lake. Summer staff and volunteers have been kept very busy of fam tours and we want to thank everyone who have hosted our staff at their place of business. The breakfasts were especially appreciated. There are a lot of fun things happening all around us during the summer months. We have the information on a number of festivals and activities. We live in such a beautiful and outdoor playground so hope you take advantage of it all. Both the main office and Satellite Centre were very busy last week with stranded visitors. Our telephones were ringing; staff was trying to keep up with road closures and weather conditions. We were very grateful for the face book updates from Loree Duczek of the RDEK and eKNOW who kept us updated. The majority of our US guests were headed for Banff and Lake Louise. Our staff handled some very disappointed guests with extreme professionalism. We are looking forward to
taking a little bit of a breather here at the office and preparing for the fall. We’ll have the Mayor’s annual visit to the Chamber in September and celebrate Small Business Week in October. The Retail Committee will be meeting over the summer to make preparations for the 3rd Black Friday; the Board of Directors will continue to meet in July and August. We continue to advocate on behalf of our membership on a number of issues and urge you our members to watch
for our messages throughout the summer. A number of sponsorship opportunities are available for 2014. We are now seeking partners for our general luncheons, Evening of Excellence and Citizen of the Year. If you are interested, please call Karin at the Chamber office at 250 426 5914. Have a safe and great summer everyone and thanks for all you do to make Cranbrook a better place to live, do business and play!

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN
Cook up some CANADA DAY FUN
As the second-largest country in the world, Canada has much to celebrate. Each and every year, Canadians gather to commemorate Canada Day on July 1. Frequently called Canada’s birthday, Canada Day, previously known as Dominion Day, marks the joining of the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on July 1, 1867. It wasn’t until July 1, 1917 that the first official Canada Day celebration was held to mark this day of independence.
Offices, banks, schools, and many businesses are closed on Canada Day. Some stores may remain open to cater to bargain-hunting Canada Day shoppers. Should an American visit Canada on Canada Day, he or she might mistake it for America’s own Independence Day. Celebrations of both holidays are similar, with parades, fireworks, concerts, and special outdoor events. Friends and families gather for barbecues Cont’d on page 18

and pool parties while the red-and-white flag of the country flies in the breeze. Though the celebrations are similar, Canadians can add their own measure of gusto to Canada Day parties and gatherings with foods that are inspired by Canada. Think about serving these culinary delights at the next Canada Day celebration. * Classic Quebec Poutine: The traditional poutine is served with a pile of crispy french fries topped with a handful of cheddar curds and a chicken- or veal-based gravy. The french fries can be made from Prince Edward Island potatoes, while cheese curds traditionally are made from the Frommage Beaucronne brand. This comfort food can be enjoyed by children and adults alike and served as an appetizer before more substantial fare is served. * Maple candies: Maple syrup is exported from the country, and a maple leaf adorns the national flag. Celebrants can pay homage to the maple tree by serving foods that feature maple syrup in some way. Mix several cups of maple syrup with 1/3 cup butter and a teaspoon of lemon extract. Bring to a boil until a candy thermometer reads 233 F, roughly 111 C. Allow to cool a few minutes and pour into candy molds. Let cool and harden, then enjoy. * Moose burgers: Rather than cooking beef or bison burgers, opt for moose meat. Moose are the largest members of the deer family, and this wild game can be an alternative to the standard meats. Moose meat is a lean source of protein and has less than one gram of total fat per serving. Ground moose meat can be used to form burgers cooked over the grill. * Salmon specialities: For a different take on barbecue, try grilled salmon harvested from waters in British Columbia. Salmon is a heart-healthy food rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which also promote brain health. Maplecrusted salmon may be a way to meld ollege of the oCkies two Canadian flavors together in one meal.
C
There are a number of different ways to incorporate new food traditions into Canada Day celebrations. Experiment with the flavors you love and pay tribute to the rich tradition of Canada.

Landmark day for same-sex marriage after two U.S. Supreme Court rulings Lee-Anne Goodman Canadian Press
WASHINGTON — A marriage made in Toronto was at the heart Wednesday of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down the Defense of Marriage Act on a historic day that also cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California, the most populous state in the union. The ruling on the federal U.S. legislation known as DOMA gives spouses in same-sex unions a full array of tax, health and pension benefits. The challenge to the legislation was spearheaded by 83-year-old Edith Windsor, a New Yorker, who married her longtime partner Thea Spyer six years ago in Canada, where samesex marriage has been legal for almost a decade. The couple’s marriage was recognized by New York state, but not by the federal government. When Spyer died in 2009, the federal government cited DOMA to force Windsor, who’s now ailing, to pay $363,000 in taxes on her late wife’s estate — taxes that wouldn’t have been levied against her if she’d been married to a man. Windsor wasn’t at

Michael Knaapen, left, and his husband John Becker, right, embrace outside the Supreme Court in Washington, Wednesday, June 26, 2013. the Supreme Court on Wednesday, but watched from her lawyer’s apartment in New York as DOMA was struck down. The law had been in effect since 1996, when it was signed into law by a now-apologetic Bill Clinton. “Children born today will grow up in a world without DOMA,’’ a beaming Windsor told a New York news conference. “And those children who are gay will be free to grow up and love
and be married.’’ Also on Wednesday, the high court cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California by ruling that defenders of Proposition 8, a ban on same-sex marriage, had no constitutional standing. That means a lower court ruling in California that legalized same-sex marriage is again the law of the land. The two historic rulings will likely transform the United States on
same-sex marriage, an issue now widely considered a civil rights battle — and one that is dramatically winning the support of Americans. U.S. President Barack Obama, the first commander-in-chief in American history to back same-sex marriage, praised the Supreme Court Tuesday. “This was discrimination enshrined in law,’’ he said. “It treated loving,
committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people. The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it. We are a people who declared that we are all created equal — and the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.’’ As many legal experts predicted, it was Justice Anthony Kennedy, a libertarian conservative on the panel, who broke partisan ranks on
the nine-member panel and voted in favour of striking down DOMA. Kennedy had already written two judgments for the court that upheld the rights of gays. “DOMA instructs all federal officials, and indeed all persons with whom same-sex couples interact, including their own children, that their marriage is less worthy than the marriages of others,’’ Kennedy wrote in his decision. “The federal statute is invalid, for no legitimate purpose overcomes the purpose and effect to disparage and to injure those whom the State, by its marriage laws, sought to protect in personhood and dignity.’’ The latest polls suggest the majority of Americans now support same-sex marriage, compared with just 13 per cent 25 years ago. It’s not just a generation gap that explains the profound shift, pollsters are discovering — even some older Americans are changing their minds about gay marriage, as are citizens in rural areas, from religious backgrounds and in traditionally conservative jurisdictions. Amid that backdrop, the Supreme Court heard arguments in March against both
laws. The arguments, made before the panel of five Republican appointees and four Democrats, were heard even as some high-profile Republicans, long consumed with winning over the social conservatives of their base, expressed support for same-sex marriage. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman reversed his stance after his college-age son revealed he was gay. Jon Huntsman, a Mormon and a Republican presidential candidate in 2012, has also backed same-sex marriage and urged his fellow Republicans to do the same. Even Karl Rove, the powerful Republican strategist who famously brought millions of Christian evangelicals into the party fold a decade ago, says he wouldn’t be surprised if the 2016 Republican presidential candidate backs same-sex marriage. Obama has helped embolden fellow politicians on same-sex matrimony after he reversed his own stance on the issue last year. The White House had urged the high court to rule in favour of same-sex rights. Hillary Clinton, eyeing a run for president in 2016, has also expressed her support.
Starbucks baristas must share tips with shift supervisors, not assistant managers Michael Gormley Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — Starbucks baristas must share their tips with shift supervisors, but assistant managers are left out in the cold, New York’s highest court ruled Wednesday. The Court of Appeals found that shift supervisors do much of the same work as the coffee servers and therefore get to share in the tips. The court also ruled the company can deny those tips to assistant managers. The ruling, responding to two lawsuits, backed Starbucks’ policy of divvying up the tips, saying it’s consistent with labour law. Hospitality industry groups say the state court decision will be felt far beyond shops owned by Starbucks and will affect 42,000 New York businesses statewide and a quarter-million hospitality industry workers in
New York City alone. Starbucks baristas are parttime workers who serve customers and share tips weekly based on hours worked. They can be promoted after six months to shift supervisors. Shift supervisors are also part-time wage workers who mostly serve customers, but also assign baristas, provide input on their performance and direct the flow of customers. Assistant managers are fulltime, get some benefits such as paid holidays and vacations, and are eligible for bonuses. Attorney Adam Klein argued assistant managers spend most of their time serving customers and should get a share of the tip jar. Klein said his clients don’t have the power to hire and fire, which he argued means they aren’t “company agents’’ under labour law. “Employees who regularly
provide direct service to patrons remain tip-pool eligible even if they exercise a limited degree of supervisory responsibility,’’ stated Judge Victoria Graffeo in writing the majority decision. “But an employee granted meaningful authority or control over subordinates can no longer be considered similar to waiters and busboys ... and, consequently, is not eligible to participate in a tip pool.’’ Seattle-based Starbucks Corp. has nearly 18,000 retail stores in 60 countries. In April, it reported $3.6 billion in quarterly revenues. Starbucks had 413 company-owned stores in New York at the end of its last fiscal year. Company spokesman Zack Hutson said the tip policy is applied consistently across the U.S., though not globally because laws differ in other countries.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Elvis Presley’s Cadillac, Steve McQueen’s old truck and prescription sunglasses worn by John Lennon are among hundreds of items once owned by celebrities that are scheduled to be auctioned in California next month. The Mecum Auction
Company said Wednesday it will be displaying and auctioning about 2,000 pieces of celebrity-related memorabilia 26-27 in Santa Monica, Calif. Mecum, which specializes in the sale of collector cars, says one of the auction’s highlights will be Elvis’ 1972 Cadillac Custom Estate Wagon. “The King of
Rock n’ Roll’’ owned the car from 1972 until his death in 1977, according to Mecum’s Web site. Mecum says items with ties to John Wayne, Marilyn Monroe, Jack Nicholson, Roy Rogers, Hunter S. Thompson, Jimmy Stewart, Burt Reynolds and Gene Kelly also will be auctioned.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A distant relative, whose family I had never heard of, contacted me on the Internet begging for family photos and history for her grandmother. Out of the goodness of my heart and at great expense, I took a week and sorted through ancient photos and family history, scanned and labeled the photos, and emailed them to her. However, when I later checked Ancestry.com, I saw those photos and family history online. I didn’t recognize any connection between her family and mine, although she insists there is one. Furthermore, our family is very private and has no interest in having our history and photographs published on the Internet for anyone to see. Last year, when my cousin had his identity stolen, the authorities said identity thieves often get information (like the mother’s maiden name) from genealogical websites. I wrote this woman a polite email and informed her of the identity theft and our family’s request that our privacy be respected. I asked that she remove the family photos and history from the site. She wrote back a scathing email, calling me “rude” and saying she did not have to be at my beck and call. She finally agreed to remove the information, but when I checked later, she had actually added more. This “cyber-bully’s” hateful words and total breach of trust have made me physically and emotionally ill. She is a manipulative, lying, exploitative, ungrateful, self-entitled, abusive witch. I went to great expense, time and work, giving her copies of treasured family photos so that her “Nana” would know where her father came from. Nana wrote to tell me she’d like to visit her “newly discovered family.” I don’t want to see or hear from any of these evil people again. How can I stop her from posting our family photos online? -- Bamboozled Dear Bamboozled: We contacted ancestry.com and asked what you can do about removing the offending photos and history from their website. They said to email customersolutions@ancestry.com, saying you did not intend for these photographs to be posted. Give as many details as possible, and they will try to resolve it. However, there are no guarantees. To some extent, you have already lost the battle, because these photos and history are out there, and more importantly, you don’t know what else this woman might do with the information. We hope your letter serves as a warning to anyone who sends such personal data to people they barely know (and even those they do). Everything can be posted online and made accessible to anyone who looks. Dear Annie: My husband has a habit of interrupting me while I’m still talking. He anticipates what I’m going to say and will answer before I’m finished speaking. If I ask what he wants from the grocery store, he will start telling me while I’m still asking, which means I can’t hear what he says. This is both annoying and rude, but he doesn’t get it. Any ideas? -- Frustrated in Louisville Dear Frustrated: If you have told him how annoying this is and he is unwilling to work on it, we recommend you change your response so you are less aggravated. Stop speaking when he starts. Don’t correct him if he “anticipates” wrongly. You can then respond to or ignore what he says, depending on your mood, but try not to get angry. Dear Annie: I got a chuckle out of the question of the evening meal being “dinner” or “supper.” I grew up in a rural area, but have lived in a large city for the past 35 years. My cousin recently called to ask whether we could get together for dinner. When I said I’d love to, he replied, “Great! I get in town at 11 a.m.” It took me a few minutes to realize he meant the noon meal, which on the farm is called “dinner.” -- Jean Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS Human throwing ability may have appeared nearly 2 million years ago Malcolm Rit ter Associated Press
NEW YORK — Scientists say they’ve figured out when our human ancestors first started throwing with accuracy and fire power, as only people can: Nearly two million years ago. That’s what researchers conclude in a study released Wednesday by the journal Nature. There’s plenty of skepticism about their conclusion. But the new paper contends that this throwing ability probably helped our ancient ancestor Homo erectus hunt, allowing him to toss weapons — probably rocks and sharpened wooden spears. The human throwing ability is unique. Not even a chimp, our closest living relative and a creature noted for strength, can throw nearly as fast as a 12-year-old, says lead
And Homo erectus, which appeared about 2 million years ago, is the first ancient relative to combine those three changes, they said. But others think the throwing ability must have appeared sometime later in human evolution.

Boston Red Sox’s Jon Lester pitches in the third inning of a baseball game against the Texas Rangers in this August 2012 file photo. study author Neil Roach of George Washington University. To find out how humans developed this ability, Roach and co-authors analyzed the throwing motions of 20 collegiate baseball players. Sometimes the players wore braces to mimic the anatomy of
human ancestors, to see how anatomical changes affected throwing ability. The human secret to throwing, the researchers propose, is that when the arm is cocked, it stores energy by stretching tendons, ligaments and muscles crossing the shoulder.
It’s like pulling back on a slingshot. Releasing that “elastic energy’’ makes the arm whip forward to make the throw. That trick, in turn, was made possible by three anatomical changes in human evolution that affected the waist, shoulders and arms, the researchers concluded.
After 70 years, Verdi concert honours Holocaust-era pledge to defy Nazis Denis D. Gr ay Associated Press
PRAGUE, Czech Republic — In a concentration camp designed by the Nazis to eradicate Jewish cultural life, among 120,000 of its inmates who would ultimately be murdered, a rising young musician named Rafael Schachter managed one of the miracles of the Holocaust. Assembling hundreds of sick and hungry singers, he led them in 16 performances learned by rote from a single smuggled score of one of the most monumental and moving works of religious music — Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem Mass. “These crazy Jews are singing their own requiem,’’ Adolf Eichmann, a principal architect of the genocide, was heard to remark after attending one of the performances at the camp of Terezin, in what was then German-occupied Czechoslovakia. But for Schachter and his fellow prisoners, this Mass for the dead became not an act of meek submission to their fate, but rather one of defiance of their captors, as well as a therapy against the enveloping

Felix Kolmer, a survivor of Nazi concentration camps in Terezin and Auschwitz, speaks during an interview at his home in Prague, Czech Republic on Friday, June 7, 2013. terror. For Schachter would tell the singers: “Whatever we do here is just a rehearsal for when we will play Verdi in a grand concert hall in Prague in freedom.’’ Seven decades later, in the capital of what is now the Czech Republic, his promise was finally fulfilled — the Roman Catholic Mass played in memory of the remarkable Jewish man and his fellow musicians who perished, among them brilliant composers, artists and intellectuals. “Rafael was not able
to do it, so tonight we will play the requiem on his behalf,’’ said Murry Sidlin, an American conductor and educator who explains that his life’s mission is to illuminate the legacy of Terezin. He spoke before the event which took place this month, staged in St. Vitus, the magnificent 14th century cathedral in the compound of Prague castle. Filling the seats and pews were Prague citizens, young and old, Catholic clergymen and members of a Czech-Jewish community which numbered
more than 350,000 before World War II and is now reduced to fewer than 10,000 in the Czech Republic. Also gathered together were several relatives of the dead. Terezin survivors present included Felix Kolmer, who last saw Schachter at Auschwitz as the two were separated on arrival into two lines by Dr. Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death,’’ an SS officer and doctor who conducted horrific medical experiments on inmates. Schachter was herded into the line of those condemned to immediate death, and perished in 1945 at the age of 39, one month before the liberation of his country. The 91-year-old Kolmer, who still teaches physics and works on behalf of camp survivors, escaped death at Terezin and two other camps. “What Rafi — that was his nickname — did, strengthened us,’’ Kolmer said. “The cultural life to which he belonged gave us the power to better resist our own fates, not just in Terezin but later in Auschwitz so we didn’t go to the gas chambers like sheep to the slaughter.’’
Rick Potts, director of the human origins program at the Smithsonian Institution, said it is “a stretch’’ to say that throwing would give erectus an advantage in hunting, Potts said. Large animals have to be pierced in specific spots for a kill, which
would seem to require more accuracy than one could expect erectus to achieve from a distance, he said. Potts noted that the earliest known spears, which date from about 400,000 years ago, were used for thrusting rather than throwing.

Nelson Mandela remains in Texas woman critical condition in hospital set to be state’s Associated Press
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — South Africans were torn on Wednesday between the desire not to lose a critically ill Nelson Mandela, who defined the aspirations of so many of his compatriots, and resignation that the beloved former prisoner and president is approaching the end of his life. The sense of anticipation and foreboding about 94-year-old Mandela’s fate has grown since late Sunday, when the South African government declared that the condition of the statesman, who was rushed to a hospital in Pretoria on June 8, had deteriorated. A tide of emotional tributes has built on social media and in hand-written messages and flowers laid outside the hospital and Mandela’s home. On Wednesday, about 20 children from a day care centre posted a handmade card outside the hospital and recited a poem. “Hold on, old man,’’ was one of the lines in the Zulu poem, according to the South African Press Association. In recent days, international leaders, celebrities, athletes and others have praised Mandela, not just as the man who steered South Africa through its tense transition from white racist rule to democracy two decades ago, but as a universal symbol of sacrifice and reconciliation. In South Africa’s Eastern Cape province, where Mandela grew up, a traditional leader said the time was near for Mandela, who is also known by his clan name, Madiba. “I am of the view that if Madiba is no longer enjoying life, and is on
A wall outside the hospital where Nelson Mandela is in critical condition with several grave medical problems has been turned into a shrine to South Africa’s first black president. life support systems, and is not appreciating what is happening around him, I think the good Lord should take the decision to put him out of his suffering,’’ said the tribal chief, Phathekile Holomisa. “I did speak to two of his family members, and of course, they are in a lot of pain, and wish that a miracle might happen, that he recovers again, and he becomes his old self again,’’ he said. “But at the same time they are aware there is a limit what miracles you can have.’’ For many South Africans, Mandela’s decline is a far more personal matter, echoing the protracted and emotionally draining process of losing one of their own elderly relatives. One nugget of wisdom about the arc of life and death came from Matthew Rusznyah, a 9-year-old boy who stopped outside Mandela’s home in the Jo-
hannesburg neighbourhood of Houghton to show his appreciation. “We came because we care about Mandela being sick, and we wish we could put a stop to it, like snap our fingers,’’ he said. “But we can’t. It’s how life works.’’ His mother, Lee Rusznyah, said Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison under apartheid before becoming South Africa’s first black president in all-race elections in 1994, had made the world a better place. “All of us will end,’’ Thabo Makgoba, the Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday. “We just want him to be peacefully released, whatever he’s feeling at this moment, and to be reunited with his Maker at the perfect time, when God so wills.’’ The archbishop said: “Ultimately, we are all
mortal. At some stage or another, we all have to die, and we have to move on, we have to be recalled by our Maker and Redeemer. We have to create that space for Madiba, to come to terms within himself, with that journey.’’ On Tuesday, Makgoba visited Mandela and offered a prayer in which he wished for a “peaceful, perfect, end’’ for the anti-apartheid leader, who was taken to the Pretoria hospital to be treated for what the government said was a recurring lung infection. In the prayer, he asked for courage to be granted to Mandela’s wife, Graca Machel, and others who love him “at this hard time of watching and waiting,’’ and he appealed for divine help for the medical team treating Mandela. Visitors to the hospital on Wednesday included Mandela’s former wife, Winnie Ma-
dikizela-Mandela. The couple divorced in 1996. “As he remains in a critical condition in hospital, we must keep him and the family in our thoughts and prayers every minute,’’ President Jacob Zuma said Wednesday. Mandela, whose 95th birthday is on July 18, served a single five-year term as president and afterward focused on charitable causes, but he withdrew from public life years ago and became increasingly frail in recent years. He last made a public appearance in 2010 at the World Cup soccer tournament, which was hosted by South Africa. At that time, he did not speak to the crowd and was bundled against the cold in a stadium full of fans. On April 29, state television broadcast footage of a visit by Zuma and other leaders of the ruling party, the African National Congress, to Mandela’s home. Zuma said at the time that Mandela was in good shape, but the footage — the first public images of Mandela in nearly a year — showed him silent and unresponsive, even when Zuma tried to hold his hand. “Let’s accept instead of crying,’’ said Lucas Aedwaba, a security officer in Pretoria who described Mandela as a hero. “Let’s celebrate that the old man lived and left his legacy.’’ Dan Lehman, an American academic, chose a jogging route on Wednesday morning that passed by the hospital where Mandela is being treated. “I was just going out for my morning run down here and come to pay my respects to the greatest man in the world,’’ Lehman said. Then he began to cry.
500th execution Juan A. Loz ano Associated Press
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — Texas, the busiest death penalty state in the U.S., is set to mark a solemn moment in criminal justice Wednesday evening with the execution of convicted killer Kimberly McCarthy. If McCarthy is put to death as planned, she would become the 500th person executed in Texas since the state resumed carrying out the death penalty in 1982. The 52-year-old also would be the first woman executed in the U.S. since 2010. Anti-death penalty groups planned to protest outside the Walls Unit in Huntsville, where McCarthy was set to receive a lethal injection Wednesday evening. “The whole world is looking at Texas,’’ said Gloria Rubac, with the Texas Death Penalty Abolition Movement. McCarthy’s attorney, Maurie Levin, said she has exhausted all efforts to block the execution, after denials by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Texas has carried out nearly 40 per cent of the more than 1,300 executions in U.S. since the Supreme Court allowed capital punishment to resume in 1976. The state’s standing stems from its size as the nation’s second most populous state as well as its tradition of tough justice for killers. With increased debate in recent years over wrongful convictions, some states have halted the practice entirely. However, 32 states have the death penalty on the books. Still, it’s clear the debate over capital punishment has touched Texas, with lawmakers providing more sentencing options for juries and courts narrowing the cases for which death can be sought. McCarthy faces execution for the 1997 robbery, beating and fatal stabbing of retired professor Dorothy Booth. Booth had agreed to give McCarthy a cup of sugar before she was attacked with a butcher knife at her home. Authorities say McCarthy cut off Booth’s finger to remove her wedding ring. Police also had linked two other slayings to McCarthy, a former nursing home therapist who became addicted to crack cocaine. In her appeals, McCarthy contended prosecutors improperly excluded black jurors and that her lawyers failed to challenge the moves at trial or in early appeals. McCarthy is black, and Booth was white. All but one of the 12 jurors at McCarthy’s trial were white. In January, McCarthy had been moved to a small holding cell a few steps from the Texas death chamber when a Dallas judge moved her execution to April. That timing then was reset for June when Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins said he wanted to await the outcome of bills before lawmakers in Austin. On Tuesday, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals declined to reconsider its denial a day earlier of McCarthy’s appeal, saying her claims should have been raised previously.

Breaking the time barrier in genome mapping Associated Press
HELSINKI, Finland — From a tiny fossil bone found in the frozen Yukon, scientists have deciphered the genetic code of an ancient horse about 700,000 years old — nearly 10 times older than any other animal that has had its genome mapped. Scientists used new techniques and computing to take DNA from a 5-inch (13-centimetre) fossil fragment — most of which was contaminated with more modern bacteria — and get a good genetic picture of an ancestral horse. The work was published Wednesday in the journal Nature and discussed at a science conference in Helsinki. The research gives a better insight into the evolution of one of the most studied mammals. Perhaps more importantly, it opens up new

In this undated photo provided by Ludovic Orlando via Nature, two pieces of a 700,000-year-old horse metapodial bone, just before being extracted for ancient DNA, are shown. possibilities for mapping the genetic blueprints of all sorts of ancient animals from early human ancestors to
mastodons to mammoths to bison, said study lead authors Ludovic Orlando and Eske Willerslev of the
University of Copenhagen. This “is breaking the time barrier,’’ Willerslev said.
The previous oldest animal fossil genetically mapped had been an ancient relative of Neanderthals called the Denisovans, from about 75,000 years ago, found in a Siberian cave. The ancient horse was probably about the size of current Arabian horses, the researchers said. It didn’t have the same genes for large muscles that make today’s breeds good for racing, and it was larger than researchers once thought, Orlando and Willerslev said. The new mapping techniques, which involve all sorts of technical changes, could be used not just with fossils from frozen areas like Canada’s Yukon and Russia’s Siberia, but also from more temperate climates, and may eventually allow researchers to map animal genomes from 1 million years ago, Orlando said.

Wal-Mart ends relationship with Paula Deen as fallout continues ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Paula Deen lost another chunk of her empire on Wednesday. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced that it has ended its relationship with the Southern celebrity chef, part of the continuing fallout in the wake of revelations that she used racial slurs in the past. The world’s largest retailer, based in Bentonville, Ark., currently carries a variety of products under her moniker, including food items, cookware and health and wellness products, at all of its 4,000 U.S. namesake stores. The retailer began selling her merchandise several years ago. “We will not place new orders beyond those already committed,’’ said Dave Tovar, a Wal-Mart spokesman. “We will work with suppliers to address existing inventories and agreements.’’ Tovar said the retailer is still working through the details with suppliers.

In this publicity image released by NBC, celebrity chef Paula Deen appears on NBC News’ “Today” show, wednesday, June 26, 2013 in New York. The severed ties with Wal-Mart are the latest blow to Deen’s business. Meanwhile, Paula Deen’s name is being
stripped from four buffet restaurants owned by Caesars. Caesars said Wednesday that its decision to rebrand its
restaurants in Joliet, Ill.; Tunica, Miss.; Cherokee, N.C.; and Elizabether, Ind., was a mutual one with Deen. Last week, the Food
Network said that it would not renew the celebrity cook’s contract. And on Monday, Smithfield Foods said it was dropping her as a spokeswoman. Smithfield sold Paula Deen-branded hams in addition to featuring her as a spokeswoman. Meanwhile, the celebrity chef’s representatives distributed nine letters supporting Deen from other companies that work with her, as she fights to keep her business empire from crumbling. Target Corp., which carries Paula Deen-branded products, reiterated Wednesday it was “evaluating the situation.’’ Deen appeared in a “Today’’ show interview earlier Wednesday, dissolving into tears and saying that anyone in the audience who’s never said anything they’ve regretted should pick up a rock and throw it at her head. The chef, who specializes in Southern comfort food, repeated that she’s not a racist.
tor of mammals at the American Museum of Natural History, who wasn’t part of the research, said the accomplishment suggests “there’s no reason in substance why we couldn’t go back further.’’ “I think it’s cool,’’ said another outside expert, Edward Rubin, who heads the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute and has deciphered Neanderthal and cave bear DNA. “We can always keep our fingers crossed that (DNA from) an ancient hominid will be found in one of those environments that have been cold,’’ perhaps even the last common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern humans, he said. Orlando and Willerslev said it doesn’t have to be that cold, but much of the most ancient human develop-
ment was in Africa where the hotter climate makes DNA disintegrate faster. Still, there were enough hominids in temperate climates to give hope for older genome sequencing of some of our ancestors, they said. There was a lot of junk in the Yukon fossil that wasn’t horse but bacteria, Orlando said. He said for every 200 DNA molecules they sequenced, only one was from the horse. The research estimated that the evolutionary tree split that led to horses on one branch and donkeys on the other happened about 4 million years ago. The analysis also found new evidence that an endangered animal called the Przewalski’s horse, found in Mongolia and China, is the last surviving wild horse.

PARIS — The man known as Carlos the Jackal lost an appeal on Wednesday of his conviction in four bombings in France three decades ago that killed 11 people and wounded some 140. A panel of judges in a special anti-terrorism court upheld his life sentence. The Venezuelan-born terrorist and self-proclaimed revolutionary, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, also is serving a second life sentence for a triple murder in Paris in 1975. The decision followed hours of deliberation, and Ramirez, true to form, made a several-hours-long final plea. The trial began May 13. Ramirez, who cuts a dapper style, was once one of the Cold War era’s most wanted men. He has been jailed in France since 1994 when French agents whisked him out of Sudan in a sack. Lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre said that neither she nor her client was surprised by the verdict. She married Ramirez several years ago in a Muslim ceremony in prison in what she calls a “symbolic’’ union. “He is very realistic and he knows very well that the French state won’t give him normal justice,’’ she said by telephone. The lawyer repeated her client’s claim that some documents put before the court were faked and concrete evidence was lacking. By his own count, Ramirez has killed at least 83 people, but he contended in the initial trial in 2011 that he had no role in the four bombings. Two of the attacks took place in 1982, one on a Toulouse-Paris train and one in front of the Paris offices of an Arab-language newspaper. Two other bombings occurred on Dec. 31, 1983, one at a Marseille train station that killed two people and another on a train in eastern France that killed three.
