No backyard chickens for Kimberley at this time

Council decides against amending bylaws to allow urban poultry BARRY COULTER

Kimberley’s conversation about backyard chickens has been put on hold, after a decision by Kimberley Council last week to not amend the bylaws to allow urban poultry. In November, 2013, Council received information and petitions from a local resident calling for regulation of backyard chickens in the community. At that time, Council directed City staff to research the issue

and present options for Council’s consideration at a future meeting. Mayor Ron McRae said that at the meeting on Monday, June 23, there were two choices put before Council. “One was that we further engage the community in looking at the amendments to the bylaw that would in fact allow backyard chickens,” he said.

City, arts council take first step towards fire hall agreement Jury duty for Cranbrook residents BARRY COULTER PHOTO

The City and the Cranbrook and District Arts Council (CDAC) have signed a memorandum of understanding surrounding the potential future use of the former downtown fire hall as a permanent facility for the council and an Arts Centre. The city was quick to clarify that city council has not committed the

former Fire Hall No. 1 for the arts council, but rather that memorandum allows it to assess the viability of repurposing the building and to demonstrate that it can raise the funds necessary. Council would need to approve any plan that see the arts council move into the building.

Cranbrook residents may soon be called upon to form a jury panel, after a man accused in a series of home invasions elected a Supreme Court trial by judge and jury. Andrew Daryl James Monnette appeared via video in Cranbrook Provincial Court on Monday, June 30. His lawyer Jeremy Jensen told the court that Monnette has chosen for his case to be heard by a judge and jury in

Cranbrook Supreme Court, and in the meantime Monnette consents to remain in jail. Monnette is facing 23 charges in connection with two home invasions in Cranbrook in December 2013. Those charges include: break and enter, disguising the face, use of a firearm, uttering threats, and robbery. Monnette is one of four people charged in connection with the incidents.

In April, Megan Wynter Sands and Terrence Albert Allan were sentenced to five years and eight years respectively for their role in the two home invasions. In May, Jay Leonard Hills was sentenced to four years’ jail for his role in one of the home invasions. All three pleaded guilty to some of the charges and did not proceed to trial. On Monday, Judge Ron Webb transferred the case to

Supreme Court at the request of the defense, and the prosecution and defense agreed that a trial covering 22 of the charges is likely to take five days. The trial for a remaining, separate charge of robbery is expected to take two days. Monnette’s case will appear in Cranbrook Supreme Court on August 18 at 2 p.m. to fix a date for the two jury trials.

No backyard chickens for Kimberley at this time Continued from page 1 “The other option was to not proceed with looking at amendments. So in effect, no, we would not entertain amending the bylaw to allow backyard chickens.

“The second option was the way the Council chose to go — to not proceed any further to amending the bylaw, and moving on to looking at something else.”

McRae said that the basis of the decision was the potential that introducing backyard chickens had of attracting wildlife. “Staff did a good amount of research,” he said. “We did

get feedback from the public, both positive and negative. And really, the bottom line was it really didn’t make sense to introduce another attractant into the community that presents a conflict sit-

uation with respect to wildlife — specifically bears. “We are in the process of minimizing as many attractants as we can,” McRae added. “We just recently have taken down on city property

a number of fruit trees that were attractants for bears. “So at this point in time it didn’t make sense to introduce something that had the potential to bring more wildlife into the community.”

Chamber manager announces retirement Sally MacDonald

Since taking the position of manager of the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce in August 1983, Karin Penner has been the driving force behind the local business organization. But this December, after 31 years in the position, Penner will retire and hand over the reins of the Chamber. President Dave Butler announced Penner’s retirement on Monday, June 30, a week after Cranbrook’s successful 50th celebration of Sam Steele Days. “I speak for every Chamber President over the past three decades when I say that working with Karin is – and has been – a true honour and privilege,” said Butler in a press release.. “Karin’s dedication to the Chamber, to Chamber staff and volunteers, to area businesses and to the entire community is unparalleled,” he said. “Her deep understanding of the inner workings of both the Chamber and Cranbrook has been a steadying factor through many years of change … changing faces on the Chamber Board, changing elected officials and community issues, and an ever-changing economy.” Over the course of her career, Penner has worked with a long list of Chamber Presidents

In 1997, Karin was honoured by her Chamber colleagues around BC when she was presented with the Gerry Frederick Memorial Executive of the Year Award. And in 2011, the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce was named “Chamber of the Year” by the BC Chamber of Commerce. Karin’s 30 years of inspiring community contributions were cele-

brated last December in a special Chamber luncheon with a touching tribute by Chamber administrative assistant Laura Kennedy and outgoing president Mike Adams. Kennedy said that over Penner’s 30 years in the manager position, the Chamber’s membership grew from less than a hundred to 500. “In the beginning I would say, okay, we aren’t going to make payroll, Karin, would you go out and get some members? And she did,” said Kennedy.

Since she began working at the Chamber, Penner has been instrumental in bringing the BC Summer Games to Cranbrook, bringing about the annual Awesome Auction, now in its 18th year, and taken part in committees for the Cranbrook centennial celebration, the Hockeyville pitch, and participated in the Olympic Torch and Rick Hansen Man in Motion 25th anniversary relays. “She is well known throughout the B.C. Chamber world. She has

been president of the B.C. Chamber executives. Many people throughout the B.C. chamber look to Karin for her words of wisdom,” said Adams. Kennedy said that the Chamber’s staff and volunteers share a total of more than 100 years of service to the organization. They are a family, she went on. “In all of the letters of congratulations I have received for Karin there is not one that doesn’t talk about her dedication to the Chamber, her love of Cranbrook and

her willingness to get involved to make our community a better place to live. Cranbrook is a better place because you are in it,” said Kennedy. In accepting the tribute, Penner pointed back to the many people she works closely with. “I have been blessed and you are part of those blessings,” she said. “It’s been a journey that I would never have dreamed would be so rewarding, so much fun, and something I loved so dearly.” Cranbrook council

Cranbrook, Arts Council sign Memorandum of Understanding Continued from page 1 “Under the memorandum of understanding both the city and the CDAC agree to maintain an open dialogue, participate in meetings and working groups, and develop a business relationship that enhances the project’s probability for suc-

cess,” explained Chris Zettel, the city’s corporate communication officer. He noted it does not create a partnership relationship or joint venture around the future use of the fire hall. “This is an important first step in potentially finding a

permanent home for the arts in Cranbrook and the arts are important from an economic, cultural and healthy community perspective,” Mayor Wayne Stetski said. The city will also be removing the asbestos from the building at a projected cost of $130,000.

“Removing the asbestos is the responsible thing to do,” Stetski said. “As the landlord we need to ensure future tenants can safely occupy the building.” The work will be contracted out and qualified city staff will be available as technical advisors for the

engineering assessment. Council approved the $130,000 for the asbestos removal project in the 2014 budget. Zettel said it is a necessary step to ensure the building is safe for occupancy regardless of who the future tenant will be.

also honoured Penner’s 30-year anniversary at its January 20 city council meeting. Before her departure, Penner will continue to work with the Chamber board to make it even more relevant to local businesses, with many new networking and professional development opportunities coming on-stream. “Karin will leave behind very big shoes to fill,” said Butler. “The Chamber’s Executive Committee, working with Karin, has already begun planning to fill those shoes. We’ll have more information available soon on what will be a very exciting opportunity for an individual to take on a key leadership role in our community, building on Karin’s legacy.”

Communication box blocks resident’s view Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The placement of a Telus Communication has caused the ire of one Cranbrook resident. Monica Walshe wrote to council saying that the placement of the green box has obstructed the view from her home looking out across the Cranbrook Gold Course. Her letter appeared in the June 23 council package. “After 12 years I now have a view of Telus’s wonderful green com-

munication box smack dab in the middle of my front room window,” Walshe wrote. “I have since found that the City of Cranbrook’s Engineering Department gives Telus permission to place their boxes where ever they decide to on city land as it is in the bylaw guidelines.” Walshe said as a tax payer, she should be afforded some say in the matter, noting that had the box been placed 40 feet to the right, it would not have obstructed

Preliminary hearing set for Marysville murder case

Claudia De Assumpcao will be in Cranbrook in November for a dry-run of her provincial court trial S a l ly M ac D o n a l d Townsman Staff

A Brazilian woman charged with murder over the March 2013 death of her boyfriend in Marysville will be in Cranbrook court for a preliminary inquiry in November. Claudia De Assumpcao, 38, is being held at Alouette Correctional Centre for Women in Maple Ridge on charges of murder and arson. Jordon Lenard Lomsnes, 47, died on March 8, 2013 in Marysville. RCMP said De Assumpcao was living with Lomsnes at the time of his death. A murder charge was laid against De Assumpcao on March 12, 2013.

3rd YEAR!

In Cranbrook Provincial Court on Monday, June 30, an agent for De Assumpcao’s lawyer Marilyn Sanford said the case is ready to proceed to a preliminary inquiry in Cranbrook from November 24 to 27. A preliminary inquiry, which is like a dry run for a trial, is where the Crown prosecutor presents the evidence in the case to the judge, who determines whether there is enough evidence that a jury could convict the accused. De Assumpcao will be present in person for the preliminary inquiry, as will a Portuguese translator.

their view. She suggested that people affected should be consulted first, also saying that the city’s bylaw governing this should be reviewed. At the meeting, Mayor Wayne Stetski asked how much flexibility the city actually has the placement of a utility’s box.

The city’s municipal engineer, Curtis Penson said that according to the bylaw, the box should be in the corners of the property, but because the box is on the other side of the street, on the golf course size, the distance probably lead to the decision to put it there. He said likely the dis-

tance made it unfeasible for Telus to put it on the corner. “The question I’m asking and the question they’re asking is do we have the authority to tell Telus to move it 40 feet to the right?” Stetski asked. “Not for this type of box,” Benson said. Coun. Gerry Warner

asked. “Is it not possible for Telus itself to talk to the residents before they install one of these things and take their concerns into consideration,” he said. Staudt said it it is possible. “Absolutely,” Staudt said. “This person has passed this concern to Telus and maybe Telus

will be getting in touch with them. I don’t know the situation, but I’m sure that financial concerns also come into play.” Stetski suggested sending a letter to Telus, as well as answering Walshe’s questions with a letter. “I’m happy to do that,” Stetski said.

Opinion/Events

Congratulations to the organizers of this year’s Sam Steele Parade and to all those who took part in it. It was a good show, the weather held and I am glad that it all went well. However, those young fellows gunning their bikes and doing wheelies had me worried. Impressive, of course, and fun for the riders but the potential for serious accident is just too high-one slip and we see a bike ploughing into a crowd of spectators with disastrous consequences.

Government’s duty

The Liberal Government by their own definition, “is the party having social conscience with fiscal responsibility.” But what is their record regarding the most fundamental problems concerning the future, namely health, environment, and the education of our children? Health: Instead of using grants given by the Federal Government to improve our health system, they placed 50% into General Funds. No wonder the Harper Government has cut back on provincial health payments. This money should have been used to cut wait times, hire more nurses and doctors, and generally improve the system. Environment: Regarding the carbon tax, one would assume this would fund projects like reforestation, solar and wind power, etc. but guess what? To quote from the Cranbrook Liberal office, “Carbon tax is placed into general funds for the benefit of all Canadians.” Logging: It seems that the big logging companies have been given “carte blance”

to do what they will without regard to the future. To quote from a Swedish tourist, when shown the devastation in the Lost Dog area, “If this was Sweden, they would be fired.” Education: To ensure a bright future for BC, all our children should have a first class education with music, arts, sports, and the sciences at the fore. This will not be cheap, but the gains will be worthwhile. Finland understand this - their teachers are well paid with manageable class sizes. The result - Finnish pupils come out on top in math and sciences. BC teachers, on the other hand, are some of the lowest paid in Canada, with large class sizes, and little help for special needs pupils. Social Responsibility: Most reasonable people would agree when times are hard, fiscal restraint is necessary. But this should apply to all. According to the Vancouver Sun, a Cabinet order signed June 3, 2013 boosts the maximum salary that can be handed to Clark’s chief of staff by 18%. Nearly half of 34 ministerial employees received a raise of an average 10%. In this time, BC teachers have been forced to accept “net zero” contacts and have received a punitive 10% wage decrease. When it comes to the average citizen, the coffers are bare, but the for grandiose projects and Liberal propaganda, money is no object. Clearly, considering that Clark’s Liberals continue to use taxpayer money to fight against the teachers in court, not once, but three times. Our government has a duty to ensure the well-being of all its citizens, not just the privileged few, who can afford private health care and private education. Ian Johnson Kimberley

Innovation and technology

I am writing in response to “Cranbrook hoping to get Innovation Technology Centre” which appeared in the Cranbrook Daily Townsman on Friday June 20, 2014. Our government has funded and supported programs in the Kootenays to foster innovation and technology and provide entrepreneurs and small businesses with the training and resources they need to be successful. This includes the Venture Acceleration Program, which is delivered through the Kootenay Rockies Innovation Council and the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology. This program helps entrepreneurs develop business models and provides mentorship through three Executives in Residence who have experience in various industries and can help guide entrepreneurs through the process of starting or growing their technology companies. Since the launch of this program in the Kootenays last July, 26 local entrepreneurs have been trained and 17 participating companies have created 21 new jobs and attracted more than $440,000 in investment. Across the province, this program has connected with more than 200 companies and trained 358 entrepreneurs, helping to create over 620 jobs and attract $53.6 million in investment. Our government, through the BC Innovation Council, will continue to build on this progress and support the development of the high tech sector here in Cranbrook and throughout the Kootenays and the rest of the province. I look forward to Mayor and Councils’ constructive assistance. Bill Bennett MLA Kootenay East

Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark decision on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered. Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties? The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago. It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal. She also upheld the decision of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s posi-

tion that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title. Here’s McLachlin’s definition: “The nature of aboriginal title is that it confers on the group that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction BC Views that the uses must be consistent with the group naTom ture of the interest and the Fletcher enjoyment of the land by future generations.” That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal communities. Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983? One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the handful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they can convert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from

under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision. One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead? None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s. One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group. Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial. Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent. They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

The Hong Kong Referendum “The oppositions in Hong Kong should understand and accept that Hong Kong is not an independent country. They should not think that they have the ability to turn Hong Kong into Ukraine or Thailand,” warned the Global Times, the most aggressively nationalistic of China’s staterun newspapers. Clearly, some important people in the Communist regime are very unhappy about the “civil referendum” on democracy that has just ended in Hong Kong. The referendum, which has no official standing, was organised by pro-democracy activists in response to a “white paper” published by the Chinese government in midJune that made it clear there could be no full democracy in Hong Kong. News about the referendum was completely censored in China, but almost 800,000 people in Hong Kong voted in it. They all said “yes” to democracy. The referendum was really a tactical move by Hong Kong’s pro-democracy camp in a long-running tug-of-war with Beijing over how the “Special Administrative Region” should be governed. The voters were asked to choose between three different options for choosing Hong Kong’s Chief Executive – and all of those methods involved popular participation. That is to say, democracy. That’s not how the Chief Executive is chosen now. He is “elected” by a 1,200-person “Election Committee”, most of whose members are directly or indirectly chosen by the Chinese Communist authorities in

Beijing and their local representatives. That’s hardly democratic, but it is written into the “Basic Law” that was negotiated between London and Beijing before Britain handed the colony back in 1997. The whole negotiation was a series of compromises between the British view that Hong Kong’s inhabitants should enjoy demoGwynne cratic rights, and the Chinese regime’s determinaDyer tion to have ultimate control of the city. One of those compromises was a promise that by 2017, twenty years after the hand-over, the Chief Executive would be chosen by direct elections. So democracy was raising its ugly head again, and Beijing sought to head off the danger by publishing its recent white paper. There would indeed by direct elections in 2017, it said, but all the candidates would be selected by a “nominating committee” whose members would still be chosen, directly or indirectly, by Beijing – and all the candidates would have to be “patriotic”. In China, as in most dictatorships, “patriotic” means “loyal to the regime.” The instant response in Hong Kong was the “civil referendum”, in which about 800,000 of Hong Kong’s 3.5 million registered voters have cast a vote in polling stations, online, or on a phone app. Every one of those voters was voting for full democracy, since the referendum asked them to choose between three proposed methods for nominating candidates for Chief Executive, ALL of which involved direct public participation. And while 800,000

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

people is only a quarter of the adult population, it is almost half the number of people (1.8 million) who actually voted in the last elections for Hong Kong’s legislature. But it doesn’t have to be a confrontation. As part of the “one country, two systems” deal that was negotiated with Britain, Beijing has already accepted that Hong Kong would enjoy “a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs” for the next 50 years. That includes the rule of law and civil rights like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, free media and so on. Mainland Chinese citizens do not have those rights, and the example of Hong Kong has not so far incited them to demand them. So why should a democratically elected Chief Executive in Hong Kong drive those 1.3 billion mainland Chinese citizens to demand democracy either? Maybe the Chinese people will demand democracy eventually, but that is far likelier to come about as a result of a severe recession that destroys the Communist regime’s reputation for fostering high-speed economic growth, which is its sole remaining claim on their loyalty. It won’t come from some desire to emulate Hong Kong. So there is room for a deal between Beijing and Hong Kong that gives the latter more freedom, if everybody stays calm. There are probably even people inside the Communist regime in Beijing who would welcome a demonstration in Hong Kong that a little more democracy for Chinese people does not necessarily lead to chaos, civil war and secession. (Which is, of course, what their hard-line rivals constantly predict would be the inevitable result of diluting the dictatorship.)

Bandits split with Rangers TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Cranbrook Bandits nearly came up with a pair of wins in a Canada Day doubleheader with the Kootenai Valley Rangers, posting a 3-2 loss in extra innings before coming back with a decisive 12-2 victory in a rematch. The Bandits played a tight defensively in their first matchup and scored twice late in the game to tie it up, but the Rangers took advantage of a passed ball and ended up scoring to take the win. “Game One, we weren’t getting the bunts down and we weren’t able to move people around. We had eight in scoring position, the bases loaded twice, two guys on third twice and we didn’t cash them in,” said Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek. Bandits pitcher Tyler Thorn had a monster of a game on the mound, throwing 121 total pitches for eight and twothirds of an inning. Thorn had seven strikeouts, walked four and gave up seven hits. Daniel Mercandelli came in relief to close out the game on the last out. The Rangers scored a run in the third, and added another in the 6th for a two-run lead late in the game. However, the Bandits replied with a crucial final inning, scor-

With the bases loaded, Rangers pitcher walked Kei Chlopan, which scored Thorn. The following play, Brenden Bird brought home Noah Renette. The two teams were scoreless in the eight inning, but the Rangers earned a run in the ninth to take the win. “We played very well defensively,” said Bandits catcher Brandon Ouilette. “At the beginning of the game, we left a lot of guys stranded on the base, we didn’t cash them when we had the opportunity, so in the end that hurt us.

“We were down two, and we kind of battled back, so it showed a lot of character, but we just didn’t have enough to put it away in the first game.” The two teams took a break before heading back out onto the field, and the Bandits hard and fast, scoring five runs in the first inning and four in the second on the road to a 12-2 win. The bats went to work for six hits, while Devon Marra threw the heat on the mound for eight strikeouts in five innings. Marra and Thorn both had a pair of RBI’s,

with Jake Bromley adding one. Mrazek said the team was bunting the ball much better in the second game, which helped move the runners around base. “Instead of going with just a straight squeeze, we implemented a safety squeeze a number of times and that really got things going in the first inning and got us five runs on the board,” Mrazek said. “You get that, get them throwing the ball around, a couple base hits, they make an error, and it worked out well. We kept doing that the whole game.”

Ouilette agreed. “We laid down a lot more sac-bunts in the second game, and the bunts kind of got the ball rolling for us today,” Ouilette said. “Once we got the base runners on the bases, we just kind of moved them along. We played more of a team game at the plate.” The Bandits head down to Polson, Montana, for a tournament this weekend. Next home action will be another double-header next Tuesday (July 8th) against the Whitefish Glacier ‘B’ Twins. Games begin at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Raonic, Bouchard make Canadian tennis history at Wimbledon C ANADIAN PRESS

LONDON - Milos Raonic joined Euegnie Bouchard in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon as the talented pair continued their run at the record books. Eighth seed Raonic achieved his best career showing at the All England Club on Tuesday with a 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-3 fourth-round win over Japanese 10th seed Kei Nishikori. Raonic becomes just the second Canadian to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals in the Open era, which began in 1968. Bouchard made her way there on Monday with a defeat of Alize Cornet. She will face off in the next round against German ninth seed Angelique Kerber, who upset fifth seed Maria Sharapova 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 6-4,

winning on a seventh match point. Bouchard hammered Kerber in the French Open fourth round a month ago. “The match against Bouchard will be a tough one,” said Kerber. “I lost against her in Paris, but I’m feeling right now better and I’m feeling better on grass. “I’ve never played her on this surface, so I will be focused like today just on myself.” Raonic laid down 34 aces in his victory over Nishikori, who is coached by former French Open winner Michael Chang. Raonic broke three times, saved five break points against his serve and ended with 64 winners in the comprehensive victory. “I’ve been serving in general well this tournament, and even

throughout the clay court season,” said Raonic. “But obviously here it sort of gets exemplified a little bit more. It’s a little bit more on display. “That’s helping me, taking a lot of pressure off me and putting more so on my opponents.” The 23-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., became the first Canadian to defeat Nishikori. The Japanese player had won his previous six matches against Canadians, including two against Raonic. In men’s doubles, veteran Daniel Nestor of Toronto and Serbian partner Nenad Zimonjic finished off a rain-delayed match from Monday as the third seeds reached the quarter-finals over Pablo Cuevas of Uruguay and David Marrero of Spain 7-6 (8), 6-4, 6-4. Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil

and American Jack Sock reached the third round over India’s Rohan Bopanna and Aisam Quereshi of Pakistan 6-7 (3), 7-6 (5), 6-3, 7-5. Raonic opened the match by losing his first service game, which allowed Nishikori to win the opening set in 39 minutes. Raonic fought hard to come back. He broke twice in the second set to get back level at a set each, and won the third set on a tiebreaker. Raonic earned a late break in the eighth game of the fourth set, then set up a match point with a service winner and advanced on his first opportunity a game later. The Canadian will play the winner of a matche between second seed Rafael Nadal and Australian wild card Nick Kyrgios.

Monday, June 30th GERMANY 2 ALGERIA 1 PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil - Substitute Andre Schuerrle and Mesut Ozil scored in extra time Monday to lead Germany over an aggressive Algeria 2-1 and into the World Cup quarterfinals. Thomas Mueller provided a cross from the left flank that was slightly behind Schuerrle. The Germany forward dragged his leg and backheeled the ball into the far corner in the 92nd minute, leaving goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi with no chance. Ozil added the second in the 120th, and Abdelmoumene Djabou pulled one back in injury time for Algeria. Germany will next face France on Friday at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. FRANCE 2 NIGERIA 0 BRASILIA, Brazil Paul Pogba scored with a late header to finally break Nigeria’s stubborn resistance and Joseph Yobo scored an owngoal as France won 2-0 to reach the World Cup quarterfinals on Monday. Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama had just made a superb save to tip over Karim Benzema’s header, but he flapped at the ball from the ensuing corner and Pogba pounced in the 79th minute to nod in his first goal of the tournament. Yobo turned the ball into his own net in stoppage time under pressure from France substitute Antoine Griezmann. France started slowly and finished strongly in the second round match. African champion Nigeria had a goal ruled out for offside in the 19th minute after Emmanuel Emenike poked home Ahmed Musa’s cross. Tuesday, July 1st ARGENTINA 1 SWITZERLAND 0 SAO PAULO, Brazil Angel Di Maria scored in the 118th minute Tuesday to give Argentina a 1-0 win over Switzerland after extra time and a spot in the World Cup

quarterfinals. With a penalty shootout looming, Lionel Messi made a surging run toward the Swiss area and laid the ball off to Di Maria on the right, and the winger sent a left-foot shot past diving goalkeeper Diego Benaglio. Blerim Dzemaili nearly equalized right before the end but his header hit the post, and the rebound bounced off his knee and wide of the goal. Argentina will play the winner of Belgium and the United States. BELGIUM 2 USA 1 SALVADOR, Brazil They captured the eyes and hearts of a suddenly awakened soccer nation, who gathered in unprecedented numbers to watch the world’s game. But the end of the ride came at the exact same point as four years ago: with an overtime loss in the World Cup’s round of 16. Kevin De Bruyne finally beat goalkeeper Tim Howard in the third minute of extra time, Romelu Lukaku scored 12 minutes later to give Belgium a two-goal lead, and the Red Devils hung on for a 2-1 victory Tuesday night. Before exiting, the U.S. showed the spunk that captured America’s attention. Julian Green, at 19 the youngest player on the U.S. roster, stuck out his right foot to volley in Michael Bradley’s pass over the defence in the 107th minute, two minutes after entering the game.

You are a dynamic fire sign, and you often seem impulsive to those who are more reserved. Tonight: Have an overdue chat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You roll into your day with not an obstacle in sight. As a result of your upbeat attitude, everything will seem to fall into place. You might see a misunderstanding brewing that involves your funds. Step back to get clarification. Tonight: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Give up being a whirling dervish, and slow down. You must handle a matter involving your funds. A friend might ask you for help, and a loved one predictably will seek you out. You’ll be in the position of making

a judgment call. Get the facts first. Tonight: Say “yes” to living. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will say the right words at the right time. However, you might be oversensitive, and you could take someone’s statement the wrong way as a result. Let it go. Consider how a particular person is transforming in front of your eyes. Tonight: Be a flirt. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Check out a situation with care. Do your homework, and come up with as many solutions as possible. Though you can be a delightful, carefree personality, you’ll need to be serious for others. They’ll want to know where you are coming from. Tonight: Pay bills first. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your smile will attract more people than usual. Your sense of what must happen will appeal to those around you.

Tonight: Read between the lines. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others will display their desire to handle a problem. You subconsciously might create some kind of block that prevents you from participating in this matter. You know when enough is enough; try to disengage and avoid being an obstacle. Tonight: All smiles. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others will come forward and listen to your ideas, but your determination to complete what you are doing your way is likely to emerge. Be careful. Think about the complications of not having the help and support you need. Tonight: Be as easygoing as possible.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m a 58-year-old male. Ever since my early 20s, I’ve been confused about which sex I truly am. Of course, I was born a male, but my thoughts and feelings are that of a female. There is nothing about being a male that interests me. I’m thinking about getting hormone shots to become more female. I’ve lived with this issue all of my life, but maybe it’s too late for me now. Do you have any suggestions or information? -- Unknown Gender Dear Unknown: It is not too late for you to work on this, and we recommend you get more information before starting hormone shots. You can find resources and support on transgender issues through the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center (gaycenter.org) and the American Psychological Association (apa.org), which can answer many of your questions and point you in the right direction. Dear Annie: Two years ago, our youngest daughter married a wonderful young man. We adore this guy, and he is a loving and caring husband. The problem is his parents. Neither his family nor ours is wealthy, and from the early stages of wedding planning, we worked to stay within a budget. Our family is small, and his is large, which put the dinner over budget. We all met prior to the wedding, and the groom’s parents assured us they would pay for the additional guests from their side of the family. At the end of the evening, my husband paid the catering bill. The next day, the groom’s father thanked us for all of the planning and effort that went into making the day so special and added that he would be sending us a check to cover the dinner. That was two years ago, and we have yet to receive a dime. Our new son-in-law asked his father several times whether he had settled up with us, and he said he absolutely would, but it hasn’t happened. We love this young man dearly, and I’m afraid if we say anything now, he will take it upon himself to pay us, and it’s not his responsibility. My husband has worked hard his whole life, and at the age of 70, he is very set in his ways. He judges a man by his word, and now he wants nothing to do with our daughter’s in-laws. Should I send them a note asking them to pay, even after all this time? I’m afraid that when future grandchildren come, it will be tense and unpleasant to be around each other because of this unpaid bill. -- Sad Motherin-Law Dear Sad: We’re going to give the in-laws the benefit of the doubt and assume they forgot. Even with the best of intentions and a few reminders, people can let things slip out of their heads. We suggest you send a note to the other parents (both of them), saying that you were going through your checkbook and noticed that this account was still unsettled. Ask when would be convenient for you to come by and pick up the check. (If they live out of state, ask them when you can expect it in the mail.) If you think they are having financial difficulties, you could offer an installment plan. Be sure to add some kind words about their wonderful son and how thrilled you are to have him in the family. We hope they come through. Dear Annie: I have a suggestion for “Confused,” whose husband refuses to give her an allowance or spending money. She stated that she is 59 years old, worked for 30 years but was unable to continue due to ill health. I suggest she immediately contact her local Social Security office and file a claim. As a former disability examiner, I can tell you that her age, work record and disability should be sufficient to collect benefits. -- B.
