Ktunaxa applaud court ruling on Aboriginal title Last week’s decision that found the Tsilhqotin have title throughout their traditional territory could have implications for Ktunaxa SALLY MACDONALD
The Ktunaxa Nation Council is working with its legal team to determine how a landmark Supreme Court decision last week will affect its appeal against the Jumbo Glacier Resort development west of Invermere. On Thursday, June 26, the Su-
preme Court of Canada recognized, for the first time in Canada, aboriginal title to a specific tract of land. The decision essentially makes it easier for a First Nation to establish title over lands that are culturally and spiritually significant for its people. The case was brought forward
to the Supreme Court of Canada by the Tsilhqot’in of central British Columbia after the British Columbia Court of Appeal ruled the Tsilhqot’in had only aboriginal title in small select spots of their traditional territory.

City switching to siphon system for Elizabeth Lake A R N E P E T RYS H E N
The City of Cranbrook will attempt a new syphoning program to move water out of Elizabeth Lake and across Wattsville Road starting this week. Since flooding started, the city has been pumping water with large water pumps and hoses across the road, but through discussions with the Regional District of East Kootenay, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Envi-
ronment it has decided to set up a siphoning system to attempt to move the water. The city explained that the siphoning of water is much the same as siphoning gasoline from a tank. The city will be receiving two six-inch diameter siphon pipes this week. When one end of the pipe is submerged and a vacuum suction is created, the fluid will flow to the lower end of the pipe.

Labour board rules educators must teach summer classes C an a d ia n Press
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s labour board has ruled striking educators must teach summer classes for high-school stu-
dents who failed a course during the year. The board wrote in a ruling that teachers must hold classes for students from Grades 10 to 12 who can not
take the failed course during the next school year. However the board is also asking the government to lift lockout conditions — such as
reduced pay — for educators who will teach during the summer. The province also asked the board to force educators to teach in a handful of schools that hold classes all year
round and don’t break for the summer, but the board is postponing a decision on that. However teachers have agreed to take down picket lines around those schools,
meaning those classes could resume next week. More than 40,000 public school educators in B.C. started a full strike on June 17, cancelling classes for more
than half a million students across the province indefinitely. The staying points in the dispute are class size, pay and classroom support staff.
Supreme Court ruling could have implications for Ktunaxa First Nation Last week’s decision granted Aboriginal title to the Tsilhqot’in people to approximately 2,000 square kilometres of land in the heart of Tsilhqot’in traditional territory, but not on reserve. “We will no longer be an afterthought when significant developments that will have major impacts on our cultural and spiritual ways of life are proposed,” said Kathryn Teneese, chair of the Ktunaxa Nation Council. The Ktunaxa are currently locked in legal proceedings with the B.C. government over the province’s decision to approve the development of Jumbo Glacier Resort in Ktunaxa traditional territory 55 kilometres west of Invermere. To the Ktunaxa, Qat’muk has great spiritual significance as the home of the grizzly bear spirit. In April, the B.C. Supreme Court found that the province had adequately consulted with the Ktunaxa prior to approving the four-season resort in 2012. However, the Ktunaxa feel the decision does not respect their sacred relationship with the area they know as Qat’muk, and filed an appeal in May. Court dates have not yet been set for that appeal, Teneese said, but the Tsilhqot’in decision may affect the Ktunaxa’s case. “Our legal counsel is doing a thorough review of the decision and looking to see if there are areas from the decision that might be helpful in our way forward. That work is underway right now,” she said. Lawyers are working “to make reference in the appeal to a Supreme
Continued from page 1 Court decision and hopefully to point out that what the court has decided in a unanimous decision is applicable in our instance.”
“People shouldn’t be fearful of this. In fact, I think it provides some greater certainty and it’s going to help frame ongoing discussions between ourselves and our neighbours.” Kathryn Teneese Meanwhile, the Tsilhqot’in decision will have an impact for First Nations in B.C., including the Ktunaxa, that are currently in treaty negotiations with the provincial and federal governments. “We hope that it will cause both Canada and B.C. to look at their existing mandates and come to the table prepared to reach an agreement,” said Teneese. “We feel that all of the information we have been bringing forward and the positions that we have taken in our discussions with government have always been based on the same circumstances and the same understandings as the Tsilhqot’in brought forward.” The Tsilhqot’in nation is located west of Williams Lake, in the B.C. Interior, with a population of about 3,000. The legal case dates back decades, to a dispute over logging rights granted where Tsilhqot’in maintained traplines. Millions of dollars later, the high
court has recognized aboriginal title over 1,750 square kilometres of territory. Teneese said the Tsilhqot’in were standing firm on an issue that is relevant for First Nations across B.C. “We have always been in strong support of what the Tsilhqot’in are doing, feeling that they were bringing forward an issue that is shared across the province by those Nations that have not concluded arrangements, either in treaty or otherwise, with the province of B.C. “We want to thank and applaud the Tsilhqot’in people for sticking with it as long as they have.” Teneese wanted to point out to the Ktunaxa’s neighbours that the decision provides clarity for treaty negotiations. “People shouldn’t be fearful of this. In fact, I think it provides some greater certainty and it’s going to help frame ongoing discussions between ourselves and our neighbours. It’s not something that is a stick, it’s a tool that we should be looking to that’s going to help us try to crystallize how things should be, and we can get rid of some unfinished business.” The Tsilhqot’in decision places a greater burden on governments to justify economic development on aboriginal land. Title, however, is not absolute. Economic development can still go ahead on titled land without consent in cases where development is pressing, substantial and meets the Crown’s fiduciary duty, the high court ruled.

Cranbrook switching to siphon system Continued from page 1
The city will work with a Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services pumper truck to create the suction required to get the siphon flowing. The pipe will bring the water from the lake across the road to channel across Wattsville Road. “The flow of water through the culvert under Highway 3 will determine the amount of
water coming through the siphon system,” wrote Chris Zettel, the city’s corporate communications officer. “If the Highway 3 culvert is at capacity, city crews will stop the siphoning to prevent any downstream flooding.” As a result of the siphons, Wattsville Road will be closed to traffic for the duration of the work, according to the city.
The city has also authorized Urban Systems to conduct a study of the Elizabeth Lake water issues and city’s downstream drainage systems. The city administration noted it is important to get the study completed as soon as possible to provide time for any construction that may be needed to be carried out this year with regards to the drainage systems.

Trove of discovered paintings on display at Cranbrook Arts Council Submit ted
We all hear of finding a painting in the attic or some far and forgotten corner but imagine finding a storage locker full of boxes of paintings. This is what happened to Tracie Truscott’s mother when she attended a sale of the contents of a storage locker in Creston. In the boxes she purchased were over one hundred drawings and paintings by Victorine Kierstead. After Tracie approached Cranbrook and District Arts Council with the possibility of an exhibit and sale, we became interested in the history of these paintings. Local genealogist David Humphrey took on the task of tracing the origins of this collection of paintings. It was known that the paintings had belonged to Ron Brown, also known as “The Bead Man of Crawford Bay.” Ron Brown died on Feb. 10, 2006, in Creston. Before obtaining his obituary and with clues from accession forms in the collection of paintings, it was determined that Victorine Kierstead had lived in Toronto during the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s. Kierstead was an aunt to Ron Brown and had left no recorded family when she died. She was listed as a teacher by profession, liv-
ing on Howard Street, Toronto in the voters’ list of 1972. On previous voters’ lists she was listed as an artist and then an art teacher. In the collection of work by Kierstead was an accession form to the Ontario Museum of Art at a time when the Group of Seven were frequently showing. Their influence can easily be recognised in her work. Victorine was actually Alice Victorine Kierstead, born to Victorine Pelland and William Henry Kierstead on August 20, 1913, in Heron Street, Deer Park, Toronto. Her nephew was Ron Brown of Creston, whose mother was Mildred Kierstead, sister to William and married to Russell Brown. It appears Victorine was an artist most of her life for along with her extensive collection of work, submission forms for the Toronto Museum of Art, it has also been determined she was a member of the Watercolour Society of Canada.

Caliper Machine & Hydraulics Ltd in Cranbrook recently marked its 40th anniversary, and the business wanted to celebrate by giving a few prizes away. Owner Mike Hambalek held a contest, giving away a trip for two to the Hawaiian island of Maui — “Caliper’s 40th anniversary Hawaiian Dream Vacation.” The entire contest included return airfare from Cranbrook to Maui, staying at the 5-star resort “Honua Kai” with car rental and spending money and a complete luggage set from Hambalek’s daughter, Melissa at Initial Designs Custom Embroidery. Mike Hambalek said it couldn’t have happened without the help of Jason and Derek at B-104 radio. The winner is Skyler Roberts, and recently met with the Hambaleks to get his prize and get his photo taken with some of the people who helped Caliper make this contest a great success.

Jumbo enters into Community Works Fund Agreement Steve Hubrecht Invermere Valley Echo
Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort municipal council voted to enter into the Community Works Fund Agreement during its most recent meeting. The fund is a federal program (sometimes called the Gas Tax Agreement) administered by the Union of British Columbia Mu-
nicipalities (UBCM), transfering federal gas tax revenues to communities across the country. The Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality will receive two payments of $25,000, for a total of $50,000 during the course of 2014. The municipality will be given the first payment once the agreement is signed, dated

VANCOUVER — More than 3,000 support staff workers in six school districts have signed agreements with British Columbia. The agreements between local union groups and their respective districts will last from July 1 until June 30, 2019 and give a 5.5 per cent wage increase over five years.

Its members work as education assistants, secretaries, custodians, IT workers, trades and maintenance workers and bus drivers.
and sent in (as long as the UBCM has the Jumbo municipality’s 2013 annual gas tax expenditure report) and will get the second payment in December 2014. “Our participation in the Community Works
Fund Agreement means the same as it does to any other community — it helps us to make sure that future residents will be able to rely on sound and affordable infrastructure,” Mr. Deck told The Valley Echo. “In our
case, it doesn’t mean having to replace older services. We are fortunate to be able to invest the funds in services that reflect current best practices without the need to disturb settled areas.”
NOTICE OF DISPOSITION Pursuant to the authority of Section 26 of the Community Charter, notice is hereby given that the City of Cranbrook intends to enter into a Lease Agreement with the Ktunaxa Nation Council with respect to lands and building located at 46-17 Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC, (Balment Centre) legally described as Lot A, District Lot 4, Kootenay District, Plan 10000, comprising of an area of 3,696 square feet. The Lease shall be for a term of one year from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. In consideration of the Lease, Community Connections Society of Southeast BC shall pay rent to the City of Cranbrook in an amount of $27,720 (plus applicable taxes and all operating costs). Municipal Clerk
The City of Cranbrook has established a reserve fund bylaw for the future replacement of the Key City Theatre. At the June 23 meeting, council passed three readings of the bylaw. “I really do think this is forward thinking,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski. “We know that in the not too distant future we will be replacing Mount Baker School.” The Key City Theatre would likely be replaced at the same time. The theatre is operated by the non-profit Key City Theatre Society, with operational funding from the city and School District 5. Stetski said that they have been having meetings about the future of the building. “There is no money currently in the city funds for this,” he said, speaking about the reserve fund bylaw. “This was a way to start building up a fund for the future.” The theatre was built in the early 1990s with funding from the provincial government through the Expo Legacy Fund, the city and the school district. CAO Wayne Staudt
said the reserve fund offers a place for the city to store donations, such as those towards the replacement of the building. “We’ll also be applying for grants for the replacement of the Key City Theatre over the years,” he said. “It might be five years away before we actually have to replace the Key City Theatre, but it would be nice to have some reserve funds to work with at that time.” In the report to council, city staff noted they had also researched two federal grants as a possible source for grant money for the replacement. The first is the Canadian Heritage Canada Cultural Spaces Fund program, which contributes up to 50 per cent of eligible costs. Eligible projects are those that are construction and/or renovation projects intended for professional arts and/or heritage activities. The other is the Federal Legacy Fund. However city staff found that the theatre would not qualify as the projects must commemorate a 100th anniversary or greater in 25 year increments.

99 problems but a rat ain’t one
“C
ranbrook has been invaded by giant, genetically mutated super rats.” Well, if there is a scarier headline in the world, I can’t quite imagine it. Actually, sure I can. “Kimberley ski hill over-run by shark-nadoes.” “Extra-terrestrials land space craft over Jimsmith Lake.” “Abominable snowman terrorizes Slaterville.” We could go on and get ever more ridiculous. But the thing is, that one about the rats is true. Researchers have revealed that a breed of mutated super rats that are immune to conventional rat poisons is swamping Cranbrook. Dr. Dougie Clarke says, “I think people should be concerned about these resistant rats because of public health concerns — because they carry disease and various other bacteria and viruses — and they also damage buildings … they cost billions of pounds of damage worldwide.” Did you catch the clue? That’s right: this is not Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada. Thank heavens. This is Cranbrook, Kent, United Kingdom. The terrifying news about the super rats (shiver) appeared in the Kent and Sussex Courier last week and popped up in my Google news alerts. After watching the video attached to the article, which shows rats the size of badgers, practically, crawling all over one another in their rush to over-run the other Cranbrook, I had to go wash my hands. I’m not even particularly squeamish about rats. There were many times when I was waiting for a train in the underground of my hometown of Sydney, Australia, and rats would scurry across the tracks 10 feet from my toes. Part of urban life, I would think to myself. That said, I much prefer
that wasps and crows are the pests of my current urban life. Meanwhile, the other Cranbrook has to wait for government legislation that would allow it to develop new poisons to take on the mutated super rats. Waiting for government! The rats will be running government by the time that legislation is passed. Not so far away, there was also a serious rat problem in Vancouver earlier this month, reported the CBC. Backyard composting bins under the Burrard Bridge attracted a horde of rodents, which spread into the playground of a nearby daycare. Childcare providSally MacDonald ers had to keep children indoors to keep them from the rats’ grasp. Apparently, in this case, someone dropped off a big load of food scraps into compost bins at a community garden. The rats caught the scent and before you know it, they’re partying like it’s 1999. The city had to remove the compost bins and call in exterminators to deal with the rat problem. Selfishly, I find all of this very reassuring. We don’t have a rat problem here in Cranbrook, British Columbia. If we as a community were to make a list of our problems (I’m pretty sure potholes would take the top 10 spots on the list), rats would not be one of them. Rodents, perhaps — gophers are quite at home in Cranbrook fields and yards, but they are not nearly as intelligent as rats. Most of them have a death wish — just last week, one dumb gopher decided to introduce itself to my small terrier. Sat right in front of him, chirping away. Before this point, my dog had heard the chirping but never associated it with the small, fast-moving furry creature he could now see was producing the noise. He proceeded to spend the next half an hour

The creature would pop into one of its holes as the dog approached, but instead of staying down there, it would pop out of another hole, and off the dog would go to that one. My dog is too small (and, to be honest, his brain is not large enough to tackle the problem), but other canines would be more successful. Hence, I don’t think we can call gophers a problem, since they will surely keep their own numbers down. So rather than dwelling on all the issues Cranbrook has to deal with using our limited tax dollars, let’s focus on some good news today: we do not have giant, genetically modified super rats. Hurrah.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Sam Steele Days and National Aboriginal Day
This letter is in response to Joyce Green’s June 24 letter to the editor. The City of Cranbrook has long recognized that Cranbrook is in the traditional territory of the Ktunaxa First Nation and we very much value our personal and professional relationship with our Ktunaxa neighbours. On a “professional” level we have a number of Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) in place: • Joint Management Agreement of St. Mary’s River Park (Draft) • MoU to Acquire Lands Necessary for Airport Expansion • MoU to Provide Emergency 9-1-1 Telephone Service • MoU on Fire Suppression and First Responder Services for St. Mary’s Band School and Administration Buildings • MoU to Support Grant Applications for Regional Wildland-Urban Interface Bio-energy Development Opportunities • MoU to Establish Effective Government to Government Principles of Mutual Respect and Understanding • MoU on Communication Last fall Council unanimously sup-
ported a motion to proclaim October 21, 2013 to October 21, 2014 as a Year of Reconciliation, and I am working with the Chair of the Ktunaxa Nation Council on ways to implement the Proclamation. We are also on the list to participate in two to four Reconciliation Dialogue Workshops over the next three years, organized by Reconciliation Canada. Cranbrook City Council holds an annual meeting and dinner with the St. Mary’s Band Council to discuss issues and build relationships, and Chief Whitehead and I have worked together in several different capacities over the years. Cranbrook’s Canadian Rockies International Airport is home to the Ktunaxa Reconciliation Sculpture and Olympic podium. In 2012 Council contributed over $1000 and the use of city ball diamonds to help the Ktunaxa host the very successful 2012 Canadian Native Fastball Tournament here in Cranbrook. As Mayor I participate regularly in events organized by the Ktunaxa and the Metis including local celebrations of National Aboriginal Day (June 25 at the Heritage Inn this year), the Ktunaxa Nation’s Annual General Meeting (this year’s meeting is being held July 16 and 17 at Akisqnuk and everyone is
invited to the Pow Wow at 7 p.m. on July 16) and in local celebrations of their rich cultures. I very much enjoy relationships with friends who come from Ktunaxa and Metis heritage, some of whom are Cranbrook residents and others who are our neighbours. We all share the same vision — a healthy, happy and prosperous future. I want to congratulate the Sam Steele Society, President Mike Adams, Maureen Frank, Karin Penner, the many volunteers, and Cranbrook’s City Staff for making the 50th celebration of Sam Steele Days the best ever! The event is important to the community and to our city’s economy. This annual celebration happens because of the leadership and hard work of the Society; the City’s role is to make sure that the sports fields and other facilities are in good condition and that the volunteers have the street closures and “tools” in place to safely hold the events. We would be happy to play the same role in supporting expanded National Aboriginal Day Celebrations in Cranbrook, perhaps under the leadership of Ms. Green. Wayne Stetski Mayor of Cranbrook

NHL DRAFT
Reinhart selected 2nd overall at NHL Draft Rinat Valiev, Jaedon Descheneau and Tanner Faith also represented the Kootenay Ice as selections in later rounds TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Sam Reinhart became the highest selection of his siblings when he was drafted second overall by the Buffalo Sabres this past weekend at the NHL Draft in Philadelphia. Three of Reinhart’s teammates with the Kootenay Ice were also chosen by NHL teams, as D Rinat Valiev went 68th overall to the Toronto Maple Leafs; RW Jaedon Deschneau went 124th overall to the St. Louis Blues and D Tanner Faith went 139th overall to the Minnesota Wild. Four NHL-drafted members of the Kootenay Ice ties a franchise record, which was originally set in 1997. There was a lot of drama leading up to the opening of the draft on Friday night, which featured the first round only, with a crop of four or five players that could’ve been chosen first overall. After Barrie Colts defenceman Aaron Ekblad was taken by the Florida Panthers, who held the opening selection, the Buffalo Sabres—led by GM Tim Murray—took the podium. Without much hesitation, he called out Reinhart’s name. The Kootenay Ice captain hugged his family members before heading up on stage and donning a Sabres cap and jersey for a photo op. “I’m ecstatic right now,” said Reinhart, in an interview with TSN. “This is the best moment of my life to be honest. Before the draft started, I was upstairs in the concourse, there was about 20 Buffalo fans that I was talking to and signing autographs, so I’m thrilled to be coming, I’m looking forward to it, and I want to get started right away.” Reinhart becomes the highest drafted member of his family, as Griffin went fourth overall (NY Islanders, 2012) and Max went 64th overall (Calgary Flames, 2010), while dad Paul Reinhart went 12th overall (Atlanta Flames, 1979). He also becomes the highest drafted member in Ice franchise history, breaking the previous record set by former goaltender Dan Blackburn, who was chosen 10th overall by the New York Rangers in 2001. Murray said the youngest member of the family was at the top of the Sabres list.

Leon Draisaitl (left), Prince Albert Raiders (WHL), went third overall to the Edmonton Oilers, while Sam Reinhart (right), Kootenay Ice (WHL), went second overall to the Buffalo Sabres. Aaron Ekblad (centre), Barrie Colts (OHL), went first overall to the Florida Panthers. “Watching him play, he rose to the occasion in big games, not just the World Juniors,” Murray said. “We got to see him lots out west, I think his team was supposed to lose in the first round to Calgary, and he just took them and beat them and he has the ability to be special and make the players around him really special.” It’s not inconceivable to think that Reinhart could stick in Buffalo next year, considering the Sabres are in the middle of a fullblown rebuild. “I know it’s a young team, I’ve pictured myself in that lineup quite a few times,” said Reinhart. “I’ve been very motivated over the last couple years to get in there, so I’m thrilled to be picked and I’m excited for the future.” Reinhart has a Kootenay Ice connection with fellow Sabres prospect Nathan Lieuwen, who made his NHL debut this past season and is currently with their AHL affiliate, the Rochester Americans. Following the first round on Friday night, NHL teams reconvened on Saturday morning at Wells Fargo Centre to finish off the rest of the draft.
Kootenay Ice D Rinat Valiev was the next to go, getting scooped up in the third round 68th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Then the Ice was represented twice in the fifth round, starting with Descheneau, who was chosen 124th overall by the Blues. Descheneau, who was passed over last time in his first year of eligibility, wasn’t sure what was going to happen this time around, even though he was ranked by the Central Scouting bureau. “Going into this year’s draft, I had a better idea that I’d get picked, but I still thought maybe I wouldn’t, but it went well,” Descheneau said. He watched Reinhart, his linemate, go to the Sabres on Friday night, and was going to get up and watch the rest on Saturday. However, he misread the start of the broadcast for the second round, thinking it began at 10 a.m., when it actually started two hours beforehand. “I was sleeping and I got a phone call from my buddy and, not knowing I was picked already, he told me I got picked,” said Descheneau.
“And then all of the sudden my phone just blew up halfway through the conversation— all these text messages started coming in.” Descheneau, who has never been to the state of Missouri, will head down to St. Louis in a week for a summer camp, which will give the Blues a chance to kick the tires on their new prospects. However, he is under no illusions that he will likely be back in the WHL next September. “It’d be a tremendous honour to play for them in the next few years,” said Descheneau. “Obviously, I’m going to be back in Kootenay again, but hopefully I can get up into their farm system in a couple years and play there.” Fifteen selections later, Kootenay Ice teammate Tanner Faith went 139th overall to the Minnesota Wild. It was a tough season for Faith, who only appeared in 10 games after missing much of the first half of the year to a shoulder injury before surgery in January ended it for good. Back home in Wilcox, Saskatchewan, Faith was out on the local golf links when he got a text message from Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth, congratulating him on becoming the newest member of the Wild organization. Not that it helped his golf game. “Terrible,” Faith laughed. “I couldn’t focus.” It’s been roughly five months into rehab with his shoulder, and Faith said it is feeling stronger than ever. “It’s holding up really good,” he said. “It’s maybe stronger than it’s ever been, so I got a lot of confidence in it and just have to get back to playing hockey.” As far as first impressions of Minnesota go, Faith is pretty excited to be heading down to their summer cam in a week. “The people that I talked to sounded very nice, they sounded very welcoming,” he said. “It seems like a very good organization and I’ve heard a lot of really good things about them. Heard its’ a great place to play—they pack the house every night—and they have good fans.” “Though the four were drafted by NHL teams, Ice centreman Luke Philp remained available after eight rounds. Philp was ranked as the 82nd overall CSS North American skater, but remains an undrafted prospect.
Vancouver deals Kesler to Anaheim, ships Garrison to Tampa Bay IR A PODELL Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA - The Vancouver Canucks were busy early on NHL draft day, sending star forward Ryan Kesler to Anaheim, and defenceman Jason Garrison to Tampa Bay as part of three trades hours before Florida chose Aaron Ekblad with the No. 1 selection Friday night. While picks were involved in each deal, the Canucks - more importantly - cleared a bunch of salary-cap space as they head into the summer shopping season. Vancouver’s first move accommodated Kesler’s trade request, as the centre was dealt to the Ducks along with a third-round pick in
next year’s draft for forward Nick Bonino, defenceman Luca Sbisa and the 24th selection on Friday which the Canucks used to take centre Jared McCann from Sault Ste. Marie of the Ontario Hockey League. “He just felt he needed a fresh start, and quite frankly we don’t want somebody that doesn’t want to be here,” new Canucks general manager Jim Benning said about Kesler. “We’re going to acquire high-quality people that are going to come in here and want to work hard for one another, so we didn’t give it much thought. “We would have liked to keep him, but his mind was made up, so we did the best we could in the situ-
ation.” The Canucks also received a third-round pick - No. 85 overall from Anaheim and flipped that selection in their third trade of the day to the New York Rangers for grinding forward Derek Dorsett. The Ducks were more than happy to step in to get Kesler, who will give them depth at centre with Ryan Getzlaf already in place. “This is a huge move for our hockey team,” Anaheim general manager Bob Murray said. “I think we’re better today than we were yesterday. I know Ryan from years ago when I was with Vancouver, so that’s a good thing, also.” Kesler waved his no-trade clause
to allow this deal to be completed. “Just the fact that he chose was very positive for us to be included in that, because not always have we been included in things like this,” Murray said. “To me it means our organization is going the right direction.” In between, Vancouver acquired the 50th pick (2nd round) for defenceman Jason Garrison, the rights to forward Jeff Costello, and a seventh-round draft choice in 2015. One partial surprise was the Panthers’ decision to keep the top pick and grab Ekblad. Florida general manager Dale Tallon said four teams made legitimate offers to him, but he decided around noon
on Friday to hold on to it. The first deal during the draft was announced just before the Winnipeg Jets made the 10th selection of the night, but the trade didn’t involve any picks. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman tried to quiet the Philadelphia Flyers-centric crowd that booed him all night long by saying he had a trade to announce. It didn’t help much, especially when he said that the Pittsburgh Penguins - a top rival of the hometown Flyers - had sent James Neal to the Nashville Predators for fellow forwards Patric Hornqvist and Nick Spaling in an old-fashioned, straight-up hockey trade.

Teams advance as knockout stage begins at World Cup Associated Press
Saturday, June 28th BRAZIL 1 (3) CHILE 1 (2) BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil - Neymar scored the winning penalty Saturday to give Brazil a 3-2 shootout win over Chile in the second round of the World Cup. The match had ended 1-1. The Brazil striker scored the third penalty after David Luiz and Marcelo also scored from the spot. Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar, who played for Toronto FC this season before heading to the World Cup, saved the first two penalties from Mauricio Pinilla and Alexis Sanchez and then watched Gonzalo Jara’s final attempt hit the post. Brazil will next face either Colombia or Uruguay in the quarter-finals. Neither team managed to score after firsthalf goals from Luiz and Sanchez. When Jara’s final penalty hit the post, some of Brazil’s players celebrated wildly while others fell to the ground, exhausted and emotionally drained.
Willian, who missed a penalty for Brazil, sobbed uncontrollably, as Fred helped him to his feet. As the crowd at the Mineirao Stadium roared, the Brazilian players joined hands in a human chain as Chile’s team stood motionless. Brazil has reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup every time since 1994. Its last elimination in the second round was against Argentina in 1990. COLOMBIA 2 URUGUAY 0 RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - James Rodriguez scored twice to put Colombia into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time in a 2-0 victory over Uruguay on Saturday. Colombia will play host Brazil in the last eight. Rodriguez gave his team the lead with a stunning long-range volley on the turn in the 28th minute and added the second from close range shortly after the break as Colombia dominated a Uruguay side that sorely missed banned striker Luis Suarez. Rodriguez now has a tournament-leading
five goals in Brazil and further enhanced his status as perhaps the tournament’s biggest revelation. Uruguay, meanwhile, struggled badly in attack without Suarez and his replacement Diego Forlan was substituted in the 53rd after a disappointing performance in what was probably his final World Cup appearance. Sunday, June 29th NETHERLANDS 2 MEXICO 1 FORTALEZA, Brazil - Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored an injury-time penalty Sunday to give the Netherlands a 2-1 win over Mexico and a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals. The Dutch were awarded the penalty when Rafael Marquez took down Arjen Robben in the area. Wesley Sneijder equalized for the Dutch in the 88th minute, just when it looked like the Netherlands was headed home. Giovani Dos Santos scored for Mexico in the 48th, pouncing on a poor headed clearance, chesting down the ball and sending a left-foot shot through three defenders and into the corner of Jasper Cillessen’s goal.
Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa had kept his team in the match until Sneijder’s strike with two great saves. Referee Pedro Proenca called for cooling breaks in each half on a hot afternoon.
COSTA RICA 1 (5) GREECE 1 (3) RECIFE, Brazil - Ten-man Costa Rica beat Greece in a penalty shootout Sunday to reach the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time. Michael Umana scored the decisive penalty as Costa Rica won the shootout 5-3 after the game ended 1-1 following extra time. Theofanis Gekas saw his penalty saved by Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas for the only miss in the shootout. Costa Rica had taken the lead early in the second half of regulation time through captain Bryan Ruiz but then had defender Oscar Duarte sent off in the 66th minute. Greece equalized in injury time of regulation time when Sokratis Papastathopoulos smashed in a rebound and finally made the team’s numerical advantage pay. Costa Rica will play the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.
Bouchard, Raonic move into fourth round at Wimbledon Canadian Press
LONDON - Eugenie Bouchard and Milos Raonic set records as they became the fourth and fifth Canadians respectively to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon after straight-set wins on Saturday. Both had to wait out
a rain interruption lasting nearly five hours before taking comprehensive third-round victories to join Carling Bassett-Seguso (1983, 1986), Patricia Hy-Boulais (1996-97) and Daniel Nestor (1999) as Canadians who made it into the second week of a major.
Bouchard, semifinalist in Melbourne and Paris already this season, posted a 6-3, 6-4 defeat of German Andrea Petkovic. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., joined Bouchard in Wimbledon’s second week by beating Poland’s Lukasz Kubot
in the third round 7-6 (2), 7-6(4), 6-2. He fired over 30 aces and 50 winners, breaking twice with just six unforced errors on the way to victory. “I was able to be dominant on my serve, I only lost nine points on it,” said Raonic. “This
definitely makes my life a lot easier and puts pressure on him. “But at the same time, I didn’t really have my opportunities. I played a few good points in tiebreaks and he was able to of hold on.” Raonic has won three straight Wimbledon
grass matches for the first time, after doing the same at Halle, Germany in 2011 and 2012. “I’m starting from very low comfort level on grass but now I’m feeling pretty comfortable,” said Raonic. “I’ve made pretty significant progress on this surface
this year.” Bouchard took victory on her third match point when Petkovic hit the net with a return. She produced 30 winners and 14 unforced errors, breaking five time in the match lasting less than 90 minutes.

A shot heard around the world
A slow sleepwalk towards war 100 years ago, a political assassination triggered the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century
John Ward Canadian Press
On the last Sunday of June in 1914, a 19-yearold student fired two pistol shots that killed the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie. The echoes of those shots have never really died away. The heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian empire was visiting the then-obscure Bosnian city of Sarajevo when he encountered a group of wouldbe assassins, including Gavrilo Princip. One threw a bomb, which failed to injure the archduke. But a wrong turn by his driver put Franz Ferdinand right in front of Princip. The young man fired, fatally wounded the archduke and his wife and precipitated a cataclysm. The assassins were linked to a secret society in Serbia, which was then a country in its own right. Those ties would lead to disaster. The archduke was little mourned even in Vienna, but his June 28 death was the catalyst that started the First World War, which has been called the greatest catastrophe of the 20th century. That war still reverberates. The bitter fighting in the Balkans in the 1990s and the tensions and bloodshed of the Middle East are rooted in the aftermath of the war. 1914 was a time of reverence for institutions and authorities. Governments and churches were seen as mainstays of order and social stability. Aristocracies were taken for granted in most countries; due respect was paid. Patriotism was seen as a virtue. Nationalism was a given. Internationally, politics and power were dominated by the socalled Great Powers; Britain, Germany, Austro-Hungary, Russia, France and sometimes Italy. The United States, just beginning to flex its industrial and economic muscle, was not a member of the club. Most of Africa and much of Asia consisted of colonies owned by one or another of the European heavy-
weights. Canada, Australia and New Zealand were self-governing colonies, but colonies all the same. The economies and finances of the big powers were closely intertwined. Their relations with each other could be touchy, but Europe had not seen a major conflict since the end of the Napoleonic Wars a century earlier. There had been a clash between France and Germany in 1870, which cost France two of its eastern provinces, but that was seen as an exception in a generally peaceful era. But there were tensions and strains beneath the surface. France, leery of a more populous and economically strong Germany, fretted about a repeat of 1870 and allied with Russia as insurance. Berlin, seeing the Franco-Russian pact, saw itself caught between foes east and west. Germany’s only ally, Austro-Hungary, was a fragile, even ramshackle assembly of often-antagonistic minorities. Vienna worried that neighbouring Serbia might promote revolution within the Austrian empire. Russia, which lost a war to Japan in 1906, was concerned that its status as a great power might wane as it struggled to rebuild its army and modernize its industries. Even Britain, secure behind its powerful navy, had its traditional worry about one nation dominating Europe, especially the North Sea and Channel coasts. The problem with all these individual concerns was that in 1914, the world was faced with, in Winston Churchill’s words, “the sum of their fears.’’ In his book “The World Crisis,’’ Churchill wrote of the last days of peace: “There was a strange temper in the air. Unsatisfied by material prosperity the nations turned restlessly towards strife internal or external. National passions, unduly exalted in the decline of religion, burned beneath the surface of nearly every land with fierce if

Almost one might think the world wished to suffer.’’ For a couple of weeks after the assassinations, things seemed quiet. But the smoldering crisis began to blaze late in July. Vienna saw the killing as an excuse to squelch Serbia once and for all and bring its own minority Slavs under tighter rein. The Austrians took the precaution of asking Berlin to back them up in the event Russia tried to step in on the Serbian side. Germany agreed — the socalled blank cheque seen by many historians as a major step towards all-out war. On July 23, Vienna sent an ultimatum to Serbia which was couched in terms no sovereign country could accept. The Serbs suggested arbitration as a way to resolve dispute, but also begin to mobilize troops. In those days, mobilization was seen as the last step before war. It meant calling up the reserves to bring units to their wartime manning levels and moving troops to assembly areas along the borders. In response to the ultimatum, Serbia proposed arbitration, but began to mobilize. Austria-Hungary followed suit two days later. From today, there’s a horrible inevitability about 1914. One historian writes of Europe sleepwalking towards war. Yet each major power had its interests
and fears and was dealing with them and what they saw as external threats. They all thought they could win something from a brief, but hard-fought war. Few expected the protracted cataclysm that lay ahead. On July 26, Britain proposed a political conference to resolve the Austria-Serbia dispute.
Germany refused to take part. Two days later, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. The next day, Britain called for international mediation. Russia urged German restraint, but began partial mobilization itself. Germany began to mobilize. On July 30, Austrian artillery bombarded Belgrade, the Serbian capi-

tal. The next day, Russia began full mobilization. On Aug. 1, Germany declared war on Russia and France began mobilizing. While Germany had enemies on both flanks, it also had a plan: hold off the slow-moving Russians in the east while launching an all-out attack in the west to crush France. The German plan included a strong right wing that would swing across behind Paris and pin the French armies against the frontier. But there was not enough room to deploy the million-man right without spilling into Belgium. That posed a problem because Britain, like Germany, was a guarantor of Belgian neutrality. Berlin, however, didn’t think Britain would go to war over the treaty, which a German diplomat dismissed as “a scrap of paper.’’ On Aug. 3, Germany declared war on France, and invaded Belgium. In London, the cabinet was faced with a ter-
rible decision. Going to war to help France or Serbia was a tough sell politically. But doing so to defend neutral Belgium and Britain’s word of honour was a different matter. The foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, has a poignant passage in his memoirs about the hours before war came. He recalled a friend paying a call on the evening of Aug. 3. “It was getting dusk, and the lamps were being lit in the space below on which we were looking,’’ Grey wrote. “My friend recalls that I remarked on this with the words: ‘The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our life-time.’’’ The following evening, a British ultimatum to Germany expired without a reply and Britain — along with Canada and the rest of the empire — went to war. The next four years would see millions of deaths, including nearly 60,000 Canadians.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel out of sorts when you get up, but you could decide to blame it on everyone else. You have the ability to turn this situation around. Fatigue seems to mark a partnership. Each of you knows the other’s defenses too well. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Observe a situation involving your domestic life. Your ability to let go and allow others to do what they wish could be tested. Understand that people sometimes need to test their limits and ideas. Allow a roommate or family member to go through that experience. Tonight: At home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) It could be nearly impossible to deal with someone’s negativity, as this person affects your daily life. Maintain a positive focus, and allow your creativity to flourish. Brainstorming with others who have similar mind-sets can add to the possibilities. Tonight: Catch up on news.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are likely to sit on any feelings that are uncomfortable. Be aware of your spending right now, as you easily could go overboard. Ultimately, you know that you do not want to deal with the consequences of overindulging. Tonight: Try not to yell at anybody! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen carefully to someone else’s ideas. You might have some questions that need to be clarified. An unexpected opportunity could come in from out of left field. Think before you act, even if you feel good about it. Remember, there are always consequences! Tonight: As you like. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Much seems to be going on behind the scenes. For now, it is best to keep information you have to yourself. When a close associate or loved one surprises you with the unexpected, you might wonder how you didn’t see it coming. Tonight: Take a night just for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will want to consider a friend’s offer that previously was
Tundra
not on the table. You also will want to have a long-overdue conversation. A problem could surround you and a loved one. Be more forthright, but don’t lose your temper. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll succeed beyond your wildest dreams, as you finally will be able to move a work or health matter past a stagnant point. You are full of ideas. Work with them and brainstorm with others, and your course will be easier and more fruitful. Tonight: A must appearance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone could get angry if you don’t follow through as he or she would like you to. You have the ability to read between the lines, so make it OK to be more open and spontaneous. Tonight: You become impervious to someone who is still pleading his or her case. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel as if a loved one has pushed you hard the past few days. Resist telling this person off, and instead root out the real is-
sue. The situation becomes much easier once you do. If you decide to take the lead in a project, you could be shocked by the results. Tonight: Dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to be more open with others. Your thinking is far-reaching, though you have a tendency to think you’re always right. A conversation with someone could help you see other possibilities. Tonight: Reach out to a friend to catch up on his or her news. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A loved one might be pushing too hard to have the outcome he or she wants in a controversial discussion the two of you have been having. Observe the different approaches this person attempts, and maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Get a head start on a project.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am 40 years old and have been married to “Rick” for 19 years. We have four beautiful daughters. For years, Rick wanted a son. I thought he had accepted that it wasn’t going to happen, so I didn’t protest when he formed a friendship with a 10-year-old fatherless neighbor boy. “Drew” is now 13, and he’s a great kid -- kind, respectful and helpful. Rick and Drew are always doing things together -- going to ballgames, riding bikes, playing basketball. At first, I thought it was great, but now I have some major concerns. About a year ago, Drew started stopping by on his way to school to get his “morning hug” from Rick. I used to think it was cute, but now it’s just annoying. Then Rick insisted on including Drew in every family outing. When he wanted to invite him along on our vacation this summer, I put my foot down. Rick sulked for a week. But here is the real problem: Two weeks ago, our oldest daughter said that she and her sisters believe Dad loves Drew more than he loves them. She said she’s been spying on her father, and he is always hugging Drew and kissing him on the mouth, and that sometimes when I’m not home, they go into our bedroom and lock the door. I confronted Rick, and he admitted to the hugging and kissing, but said Drew is just very affectionate. He even confessed to taking Drew into the bedroom and locking the door, but insists they were only talking. Frankly, I don’t know what to think. Something is not right. Is it possible that my husband and this boy are having sex? -- Worried Wife Dear Worried: It is more than possible. It is likely. Even if they aren’t sexually involved, this is a worrisome situation and not healthy for anyone. You must insist that Rick and Drew separate physically, as well as emotionally. No more morning kisses, no more outings alone, no more trips to the bedroom. The two of them cannot be left alone, even for one second. This may be traumatizing for Drew, so Rick can explain, in your presence, that he needs to spend more time with his daughters. You also could contact Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (bbbs.org) so Drew can find a more appropriate father figure to fill the gap. If Rick refuses to cooperate, are you willing to turn him in to the authorities as a suspected pedophile and let them investigate? (You can do this anonymously.) Would Rick be willing to get counseling as a condition of remaining in the marriage? (We’d insist on that.) We know such a reality is hard to face, but please act on this immediately. You may be the only person who can protect that boy. Dear Annie: When I go out to eat for breakfast, the restaurants always have artificial sweetener for your coffee and often nondairy creamer. What I do not find is a nondairy substitute for butter. Many of us would rather not eat butter. Please spread this message so stores and restaurants will see it and offer this item. -- Nondairy in Wisconsin Dear Nondairy: Most places will provide margarine if you request it. If you want something else (soy butter, et al), you will have a harder time. If you patronize the same places often and ask each time, they may begin to offer these items. Try it. Dear Annie: When I was growing up, good table manners were a necessity. As my children became older, sometimes they would regress, and I found a foolproof method that worked for us. I bought a small standup mirror and put it in front of them at the table. One day my daughter came home from school and commented on a girl at her lunch table who ate with her mouth open. They still have beautiful manners. -- Kentucky Great-Grandmother Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

In Loving Memory of
Dwayne Jackson Mahon Oct. 3, 1972 - July 1, 2009
We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new, We thought about you yesterday All the days before that too... We think of you in silence And we often speak your name, Now we cherish our memories And your picture in it’s frame... Day after day we think of you A thousand tears we’ve cried, Though we can not see you We know you’re by our side...
