It seems every year, Kimberley Helping Hands Food Bank directors announce that it was the best East Kootenay Realty Kimberley Food Bank Duck Race ever, and that continues this year. More money was raised, the weather was perfect, the creek running just right for the ducks to make a quick run down to the Civic Centre and a generous winner donated his prize money to two worthy causes. The goal was higher this year, with more ducks for sale — 4,000 — up from 3,000 in previous years. And the goal was met, with Food Bank volunteers tirelessly selling tickets for several months. Race organizer Marilyn Jolie of East Kootenay Realty, who furnishes the $2500 first prize herself, reports that the race raised $22,083 — $20,000 from duck sales and $2,083 from the barbecue.

First prize winner Brandon Lucas of Kimberley accepts his $2500 cheque from Marilyn Jolie. Lucas then donated half his winnings back to the Food Bank and half to Cops for Kids. “Every dollar raised goes to the Food Bank because everything is donated by our generous community,” Jolie said. The first prize winner was Brandon Lucas of Kimberley, who donated his prize of $2500 cash back to the Food Bank and Cops for Kids. The second prize of a
lodging, accommodation and meal package went to Jeff Peterson, third to Angela Symes, who won $250 and plans to purchase a kayak, and fourth to Alan Bowler. As Jolie said, the duck race is a community event, supported by businesses, individuals and service groups. See DUCK, page 4

Canada Day celebration returns to Moir Park with a bang Barry Coulter
Hats off to the volunteers of Connect Church in Cranbrook, who promised an epic Canada Day celebration at Moir Park on Tuesday, July 1, and who, with the help of community sponsors, delivered. Hundreds upon hundreds turned out for the event, which featured a host of family friendly activities, a great food court, performances by some of the area’s top bands, and a fireworks display that scorched the sky to cap the evening off. Organizers took advantage of the topography of Moir Park, placing the mainstage down in the lower playing field, so that the surrounding slopes formed a natural amphitheatre. Performances by RedGirl, Green Velvet Rocking Chair, Dewey, Cheatem and Howe, the Connect Band and the Good Ol’ Goats took place on the mainstage in front of a crowd of hundreds. There were remarks from MP David Wilks (“Canada’s greatness springs from the hearts of its people”), and Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski handed out the citizenship awards to nine Cranbrook students. The Kimberley Highland Dancers, Aspire Dance Academy and others also performed on a secondary stage. Photos by Barry Coulter

Kootenay Lake drowning For the Bulletin
A 25-year-old Riondel man is presumed drowned after a swimming accident Monday afternoon. On June 30, 2014 at 4:43 pm, the Creston RCMP received a report of a swimming accident at Star Valley Cliff on Kootenay Lake just north of Grey Creek. Two men had been diving at the popular spot, well known to the local community, when one hit the water awkwardly.
The second man made efforts to pull his friend to safety but the unconscious swimmer slipped under the water and did not resurface. The 25-year-old Riondel man is presumed drowned. He was familiar with the area having been a long time resident and was described as an experienced cliff diver. The name of the Riondel man is being withheld pending notification of his next of kin.

Facebook actually came out and apoloto write positive status updates; while those who saw more negative posts wrote gized on Sunday. It said that the effect on more unhappy updates during the week of users was only “the minimal amount to statistically detect it” and that users could the experiment.

not Facebook’s clients. Advertisers are its clients, and we are the product. Facebook doesn’t charge us to use its service; it charges advertisers to reach us. That’s because Facebook is not trying to make us happy. It wants to keep us around, sure, but we are a means to an end, and the end is profit that we don’t directly provide. I used to get upset when Facebook changed the way the news feed operated. I don’t like targeted advertising (Facebook somehow knew I was pregnant before we had announced it to anyone, and it keeps trying to sell me a T-shirt with a Canadian flag in the shape of Australia) and I really wish I could just see everything that each of my friends posts in sequential order. But I know better than to complain now. Our online privacy has eroded so quickly across all social media platforms that we are all suffering something akin to whiplash. Nothing you put online is truly private. Trying to keep track of privacy agreements would be a full-time job. All we can do is keep at the front of our mind that our news feed is tailored to sell us stuff. In keeping up to date with friends near and far, we are making ourselves available to advertisers. And the content that we put online is not just for the eyes of our own contacts. It’s the public persona we present to the world. In short, folks: Facebook may not cost anything to use, but it doesn’t come for free.

Teddy bear hide-and-seek begins Submit ted
If you are looking for a fun activity for the family this summer, you might like to consider the Cranbrook and District Arts Council Teddy Bear Scavenger Hunt. A total of 25 artsy teddy bears are located in various Cranbrook businesses and offices, waiting to be discovered. A cash prize will be awarded at the teddy bear Picnic, August 23, to the person who correctly identifies all teddy bears in the shortest period of time. All teddy bears will be on display from July 1 until August 22. Starting Thursday, July 3, clue sheets to help you locate all the teddy bears will be available at the Cranbrook and District Arts Council Gallery office, located at 135 10th Avenue South, Cranbrook. When you collect your clue sheet, the date and time will be recorded. When you return the sheet, it will be checked and once again the date and time recorded.
Anyone interested in dressing their own bear can still purchase one from the Cranbrook and District Arts Council. All teddy bears are invited to the Teddy Bear Picnic in Rotary Park on Saturday, August 23, at 11:30 a.m. when they will be judged and cash prizes awarded in the three categories of business; over 14 years and under 14 years.

Return of the Islamic Caliphate “Listen to your caliph and obey him. Support your state, which grows every day,” said Abu Mohamed al-Adnani, announcing the rebirth of the Caliphate in the broad territory between Aleppo in northern Syria and Diyala province in eastern Iraq. It hasn’t actually grown much more in the past couple of weeks, but it certainly intends to go on expanding. The radical Sunn Muslim organisation that conquered almost half of Iraq in a whirlwind week at the beginning of June has changed its name. Before, it was ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (the old Ottoman province that used to include Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel). But now it wishes to be known simply as the “Islamic State” – for there can only be one such state, and it should include everywhere that Muslims have ever ruled. ISIS propagandists have even produced a map showing the ultimate borders that their Islamic State lays claim to. Spain and Portugal will be part of it, because they were ruled by Muslim conquerors during much of the Middle Ages. Iran, too (although something will have to be done about all those Shia Muslims). All of India except the southern tip should be under the rule of the Caliph, because Muslim invaders also ruled there as minorities for many centuries – and of course Serbia, Croatia and Hungary will be part of the Islamic State, for the Ottomans conquered all the Balkans up to there. Not to mention half of Africa, and Indonesia, and southwestern Siberia (which was once ruled by the Sibir Khanate for a century or so). There’s no point in protesting that Muslims were never more than a small minority in many of these places, for the lads of ISIS believe that only Muslims –
Thursday, JuLY 3, 2014 Page 7
indeed, only Sunni Muslims – have rights. “The legality of all emirates, groups, states and organisations becomes null by the expansion of the Caliphate’s authority and the arrival of its troops to their areas,” al-Adnani helpfully explained. So much for the fantasy. What’s the reality? A group of jihadis have seized a big chunk of eastern Syria and western Iraq, erased the border between them, and declared an Islamic State. As little as ten thousand strong only a month ago, they have been rapidly growing in numbers as ISIS’s success Gwynne attracts new recruits – but they are obviously never Dyer going to reconquer India, Spain or Siberia. They aren’t going to make a dent in the two powerful states to the north of their Islamic State either. Iran, being overwhelmingly Shia, is immune to their charms and far too big to take by force. Turkey, although now governed by an Islamic party, is still a modern, secular state that is much too strong to attack.To the west and east ISIS is already at war with regimes that are either very tough (Bashar al- Assad’s war-hardened dictatorship in western and central Syria) or very Shia (the south-eastern slice of Iraq, densely populated and with a large Shia majority). The Islamic State’s central position between its two enemies gives it a strategic advantage, but not a decisive one. To the south are desert frontiers with more promising territory. Jordan’s population is about two-thirds Palestinian, and even among the Bedouin tribes that are the mainstay of King Abdullah’s rule there was some enthusiasm for ISIS’s victory in Iraq. If Jordan fell, the Islamic State would reach right up to Israel’s borders, with incalculable consequences. Saudi Arabia would be a much tough-
er nut to crack, but the salafi religious ideology that animates ISIS is very close to the fundamentalist Wahhabi version of Islam that is the Saudi state religion. That’s why the Saudis gave arms and money to ISIS jihadis in the early days of the Syrian civil war, although they have subsequently recognised the threat that the organisation poses to the Saudi state. But even if ISIS gets very lucky, it is unlikely to get farther than that. Egypt blocks its expansion to the west, although the Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis extremists who are active in the Sinai peninsula undoubtedly have some ties with it. Even its direct rivals in the Refound-The-Caliphate business – the original al-Qaeda, alShabab in north-east Africa, Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, and their lesser brethren – are unlikely to accept the ISIS leader as caliph. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who now styles himself Caliph Ibrahim, has clearly been preparing himself for this moment for most of his adult life: he even chose the name of the first caliph, Abu Bakr, as his nom de guerre. His spokesman does not hide his soaring ambition: “We hereby clarify to the Muslims that with this declaration of Khilafah (caliphate), it is incumbent upon all Muslims to pledge allegiance to the Khalifah Ibrahim and support him.” They are not going to do that, and the sheer radicalism and intolerance of ISIS’s members make it unlikely that their project will survive unaltered for more than a year or so even in the territory that now makes up the “Islamic State”. Nevertheless, it is extraordinary that the 7th-century caliphate has reappeared even fleetingly in the modern world. Bush and Blair have a lot to answer for. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles on world affairs are published in 45 countries.

Encarnacion hits three-run walk-off homer as Blue Jays beat Brewers 7-4 C ANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO - The Milwaukee Brewers could have intentionally walked Edwin Encarnacion to load the bases with two outs in the bottom of the ninth of a tie game. Instead they decided to pitch to the Toronto slugger, and he ended the game in walk-off fashion. Encarnacion turned on a 3-1 slider from Brandon Kintzler for a no-doubt three-run shot that gave the Blue Jays a 7-4 win over the Brewers on Wednesday afternoon. “He hanged (it), I banged it,” Encarnacion said. The win gave Toronto (47-39) a two-game mini-sweep of Milwaukee (51-35) and extend-
ed the Blue Jays’ lead atop the American League East to 1 1/2 games over Baltimore. The Orioles were scheduled to play the Texas Rangers later Wednesday. Encarnacion, who’s now tied for the major-league lead with 26 homers, raised his arms in the air after finishing his swing. He dropped the bat, clapped his hands a few times and began to trot around the bases as the 24,286 fans at Rogers Centre roared in approval. “For me it’s the best moment you can have,” Encarnacion said. “For any player to have a walk-off home run. So everybody (is) happy on the team and we’re going to fly a five-hour happy flight today.”

Following up with their first-ever Russian in Rinat Valiev last year, the Kootenay Ice again raided the Motherland to scoop up Alexander Chirva 33rd overall in the first round of the CHL Import Draft on Wednesday. Chivra, an 18-yearold forward who played with the Moose Jaw Warriors last year, has a big 6’1” frame and weighs in at 185 pounds. Chirva, who shares the same agent as Valiev, totalled six points in 58 games with the Warriors last season.

Looking at the lineup, Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth decided that he needed to add some more depth up front. “You look on defence, you’ve got three 1995’s in [Tanner] Faith, [Rinat] Valiev and [Tyler] King coming back and you’ve got Troy Murray, so there’s four really good defenceman,” said Chynoweth. “You’ve got some young prospects coming up—Steenbergen and some other guys, so you look at the back, is there really room there right now? “From our end, we thought a forward would look good.” There’s also six overage players vying for three spots, however, one includes Tim Bozon, who is likely to step up into the AHL after making huge strides in his recovery from battling life-threatening meningitis earlier in March. “Tim Bozon has made, so far, a remarkable recovery and all indications lead to him continuing his hockey career in the fall,” said Chynoweth. “In speaking with the Montreal Canadiens, the plan is for him to play pro hock-
ey next year.” Bozon could rejoin the Ice if the Canadiens choose to send him back to major-junior, but that will depend on how he performs when training camp rolls around. Fellow overagers include Mackenzie Skapski, Landon Cross, Landon Peel, Levi Cable and Austin Vetterl. “We just don’t know what’s going to happen with our 20-year-old situation,” added Chynoweth.
With that in mind, Chynoweth made Chirva his selection in the first round of the Import Draft, after talking with other teams that faced the Warriors more frequently last year. “From Alex’s end, he played last year in Moose Jaw, I talked to a number of teams who saw him on a regular basis in the
East Division, and they all thought he was a good player. “Unfortunately for him, he came in late last year, much like Rinat Valiev with the Foreign Services strike, he didn’t get in till September, so he was kind of behind the eight ball right off the bat and it was tough to make up ground. “A lot of times you go into this sight unseen, so we get a player now that has been here, knows the language, knows the culture. “I think he’s going to be miles ahead of where he was last year.” Mark your calendars The WHL released the regular season schedule last week, and the Kootenay Ice will open with a quick road trip, starting in Red Deer on Sept. 19th, 2014 and follow up with a contest against the Oil Kings the evening afterwards. The Ice won’t hold their home opener until a few weeks later, when they host the Spokane Chiefs on Friday, Oct. 3rd, 2014. The Ice will primarily face Central Division opponents with 34 games on the calendar. Koote-
nay will hit the road for a swing through the U.S. Division, however, B.C. Division teams will make the trek to Cranbrook. Of the 36 homes games, Kootenay will play 17 on Friday, nine on Saturday and three on Sunday. Of the seven remaining home games, five will be on Tuesday and two on Wednesday. Like last year, the schedule was made with a computer program rather than team officials meeting together to hammer it out manually. “For the most part, we’re very happy with our schedule,” said Chynoweth. “There’s always parts of a schedule you don’t like and it’s tough when you don’t control that, that’s the only thing that’s a negative. “The pros outweigh the negatives and I think we’ve got a good schedule. You’ll always want to give your team as much a chance to win and a schedule plays a big part of that. “You’re going to have parts of the year when it’s not very good, but you’re going to have parts of the year when it’s really good.”

Raonic, Bouchard continue historic success at Wimbledon C anadian Press
LONDON - First there was Canada’s Davis Cup semifinal appearance last fall. Next came Eugenie Bouchard’s trip to the final four at the Australian Open early this year. Now Bouchard is getting ready to play in her third straight Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon and this time she will be joined there by fellow Canadian Milos Raonic. It’s the most significant achievement yet in the country’s rise as a tennis power as no two Canadians have ever advanced this far at one major. “I’m sure that the outbreak and the response back home is of much more magnitude than anything else that’s happened or that’s resonated,” Raonic said Wednesday after defeating Australian wild card Nick Kyrgios 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) to advance to his first career Grand Slam semifinal. “I think not only (Bouchard) in the last two Slams, but us doing
it at the same time here is bigger than anything we’ve done in Davis Cup, anything we’ve done at Fed Cup. It has a bigger audience, a bigger meaning, a bigger recognition.” Bouchard advanced to her third straight major semifinal by defeating Germany’s Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4. The result is expected to move her into eighth on the WTA rankings list Monday, equalling the Canadian-best ranking held by Carling Bassett-Seguso. “I’m excited to be in the semis. But, of course, I’m never satisfied, so I definitely want to go a step further, or as far as I can,” Bouchard said. Raonic, a 23-year-old from Thornhill, Ont., is in uncharted territory at Wimbledon, having only reached the second round at three previous appearances at the All England Club. “I’ve always wanted to play well here, to change my luck around like this is pretty special. It’s another step for-
ward,” Raonic said. “My goal is to be the best in the world and this is one of the steps you have to take toward that goal It’s what I dream of - achieving on the big stage.” Bouchard and Raonic have already advanced farther than any Canadian before them at Wimbledon since the Open era started in 1968. Both have their work cut out for them in the semifinals. Raonic has not beaten his semifinal opponent, seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer, in four career matches, including a three-set Federer win at a 2012 grass-court event in Halle, Germany. Their only Grand Slam matchup was at the fourth round of the 2013 Australian Open, where Federer won in straight sets. “This will be another big challenge for me, one that I’ll relish,” Raonic said. “I want to put myself out there in these positions. I’ll give my all and we’ll see what happens.”
Federer moved on to the semifinal with a 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4 win over fellow Swiss Stan Wawrinka. Bouchard has less history with her opponent, Romania’s Simona Halep, who crushed 2013 Wimbledon finalist Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 6-0 on Wednesday. The Romanian won their only meeting, on hardcourt at Indian Wells last March. But fourth-ranked Halep, like Bouchard, is a rising
star. She advanced to the final at the French Open before losing an entertaining match to champion Maria Sharapova. “She’s a good player and I’m ready for another tough match,” Bouchard said of Halep. “It’s not every day you can walk out on Centre Court and play the semis of a slam,” added Bouchard. “That’s the most important thing for me, is to really enjoy it. I’m going
to try, give it my best, leave everything on the court, and we’ll see what happens.” The other women’s semifinal will feature Czechs Petra Kvitova and Lucie Safarova. Bouchard struggled to close out her win over Kerber, whom she had beaten a month ago on clay at the French Open. She finally advanced after 72 minutes on her first match point, which she set up with a downthe-line winner fol-
lowed a point later by a Kerber backhand error. “I’m looking forward to try to play a little bit like I played today,” Bouchard said. “I thought I was pretty solid out there and playing the right way on the grass. So that’s going to be a key.” Bouchard saved two break points in the final game and ended with three breaks of serve from 13 chances. She had 29 winners and 20 unforced errors.
Bucks happy to have Kidd in Milwaukee Andre w Wagner Associated Press
MILWAUKEE - New Bucks owners Marc Lasry and Wes Edens admitted Wednesday that there may have been errors in how Jason Kidd was lured to Milwaukee. That doesn’t mean they aren’t happy to have him as the Bucks’ new head coach. Kidd was formally introduced Wednesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. Kidd said there were no hard feelings over his abrupt and surprising departure from Brooklyn, where he won 44
games and reached the second round of the playoffs as a first-year head coach but left after a failed bid for more front-office power. His messy departure leaked to the media and Brooklyn agreed Monday to deal Kidd to Milwaukee for second-round draft picks in 2015 and 2019. The Bucks fired Larry Drew, who had no indication he wouldn’t be back for a second season. Lasry said it was wrong to not bring general manager John Hammond into the loop earlier in the process, which began last week when the owners sought
permission from the Nets to speak with Kidd. Lasry and Kidd are friends. “We were asked to keep it confidential,” Lasry said. “In retrospect, that was a mistake.” Kidd didn’t offer much explanation of his reasoning for taking the job in Milwaukee, where he inherits a team that finished a league-worst 15-67 a year ago but adds No. 2 overall pick Jabari Parker to a group that includes 19-year-old Greek phenom Giannis Antetokounpo, forward John Henson and centre Larry Sanders.

NEWS Speed limits going up around B.C., not in Kootenays Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government is raising speed limits around southern B.C., including a new 120 km/h limit on three remote stretches of divided four-lane highway. No highways in the Kootenays will have their speed limits changed. The new maximum applies to the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) from Aspen Grove to Peachland and Highway 19 from Parksville to Campbell River. The Coquihalla sections get new 120 km/h signs this week, and more changes will roll out this summer as sign crews put up new limits. In all, 35 sections of rural provincial highway totalling 1,300 are getting higher speed limits. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit. A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions. Digital signs that can display different limits will be tested on sections of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla and Sea-to-Sky highways. The Sea-to-Sky Highway gets an increase from 80 to 90 km/h from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish. Other increases are 80 to 100 km/h on Highway 3 from Manning Park West to Allison Pass, 90 to 100 km/h from Revelstoke to Golden and 100 to 110 km/h on Highway 97C from Merritt to Aspen Grove.

52% of people taking part in public consultation did not support speed limit increases, and that region will not see changes. All other regions had support, the highest in the Lower Mainland at 81%. RCMP opposed increasing speed limits on rural highways. ICBC representatives also expressed safety concerns, and will monitor areas with higher limits to see if the severity of crashes increases. Ministry statistics show the number of serious crashes on provincial highways has de-
creased 28% since 2003, from a combination of improved vehicle technology, driver education and enforcement. The ministry accepted recommendations from RCMP representatives to improve signs that encourage slower traffic to move to right lanes, and to clarify winter tire rules. The ministry is changing regulations to make tires with an “M&S” (mud and snow) symbol as well as those with a “mountain snowflake” (winter) symbol acceptable for roads requiring winter tires.

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1899 Election of Trustees … At the school meeting held Saturday morning according to the provisions of the law, the following trustees were elected: M. McInnes, three years; W. T. Reid, two years; A. Moffat, one year. It is understood, however, that Mr. Moffat will decline to accept the position, but it is the desire of the people generally that he will reconsider the matter. The retiring trustees, Messrs. Smythe, Hutchison and Bremner, who were elected as temporary members, have performed their duties under circumstances that were rather trying at times, as the position of trustees in the organization of a school no sinecure by any means. The new board will take up the matter of a schoolhouse, and do all in their power to secure action from the government as early as possible. The money has been appropriated, and to compel as many school children as there are now in Cranbrook to herd in a room so totally unfit for the purpose as the one that has been used, is an outrage and a shame. Cleaning Up Baker Street … C. M. Edwards, acting town site agent, is having Baker Street cleared of the larger stones that
have been an eyesore for so long. For months it has been worse than the rocky road to Jordan but in the future it will be a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Steamer Gwendoline Lost ... Captain Miller, so well known on the Kootenay River, attempted to take the steamer Gwendoline from Libby, Montana, around the falls, by train, a distance of four miles, and place her in the river again for use on Kootenay Lake. The boat was successfully loaded on three flat cars, but in rounding a curve she toppled off and fell into a ravine, turning over, lighting on her smokestack, making a complete wreck. 1900 Dominion Day … The Dominion Day celebration in Cranbrook was a grand success from every point of view. There were fully 1200 people on the grounds, and so far as can be learned everything passed off satisfactorily to all concerned, and the citizens of Cranbrook owe thanks to the Turf and Athletic Association for its promotion and successful attainment. This association through its beautiful grounds have already achieved for Cranbrook a reputation for enterprise and energy of incalculable value. Money Changed Hands ... Much money changed hands on the races and games, it would be safe to say $3,000 or more; on the baseball and football clubs the Fernie visitors backed their teams like lords
and endured their losses like gentlemen, one citizen of Fernie losing considerably over $200; they backed their boys royally and loyally, but it was not their lucky day. Foot races … The 100 yards open foot race was a good one, but unfortunately the man who should have won fell about two yards from the tape. This was Harry Nevin, who was undoubtedly the fastest 100 yards man who ever ran in East Kootenay. However, luck was against him, and the race was won by C. H. Walley of Medicine Hat, with Henry Broulette, the veteran 100 yards runner, as second. The 1/4 mile foot race was won by M. A. Beale of Fort Steele, in 56 1/2 seconds; A. W. Barber of Moyie, running second. The 100 yards race for amateurs only was won in the morning by Harry Nevin, M. A. Beale of Fort Steele, being second. Trap Shooting … The Fernie and Cranbrook Gun Clubs had a match on the flat below town; the score is not published as it is probable that even the winning club would not care to see it in print. As a member of the home team said, “Fernie’s shooting was poor, but that of Cranbrook was outrageous”. 1901 A Bicycle Gymkana … Last Saturday Mrs. V. Hyde Baker entertained a large number of guests on the grounds at her home with a bicycle gymkana. A track was built for the occasion and a number of exciting
and interesting contests were indulged in and prizes were awarded to those expert enough to win them. Refreshments were served in the house. The afternoon was a most enjoyable one, and to many present the gymkana was a novel and interesting mode of entertainment. Drop By … If you are feeling blue or meaner, Drop into the Wentworth and eat a Weiner, Our Weinerwarsts we do import, Each Tuesday morning from old Frankfort; They travel in a palace car, And are cooked and served behind our bar. Dangerous Sport … Harry O’Hagan had two front teeth knocked out while playing lacrosse one day last week.
1902 Ball Game Saturday … there will be a hot ball game on the grounds Saturday afternoon between Windermere and Cranbrook Clubs. It is said that the Windermere team has some star players. New Hotel … L.R. Gibbins and J.T. Dendurent have purchased the Watt property known as the Cameronian House, and have renamed it the Victoria Hotel, and will run it as a straight dollar a day house. The gentlemen will make improvements in the property and keep a comfortable place. Did You Ever … Buy in Cranbrook, butter at 20¢ per pound? That’s our price this week and 2¢ less if you buy a tub.

Astronaut, comedian, filmmaker honoured in Order of Canada list Jennifer Ditchburn Canadian Press
OTTAWA — Rick Mercer — a Canadian known for his capacity to chat, rant and laugh — said he was dumbstruck when he learned he was to receive one of the country’s top honours. The comedian is among the latest admissions and promotions in the Order of Canada, a list that includes renowned filmmaker David Cronenberg and retired astronaut Chris Hadfield. Mercer is the host of CBC’s “Rick Mercer Report,’’ and a champion of the anti-malaria Spread the Net campaign. Cronenberg is being promoted to companion, the highest level within the order. His most recent film, “Maps to the Stars,’’ competed for a Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year. His acclaimed movie “Crash’’ won the special jury prize there in 1996. Hadfield becomes an officer, the second-highest level. His 2013 memoir, “An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth,’’ was a Canadian and a New York Times bestseller. Hadfield was the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station, at the end of an illustrious career with the Canadian Space Agency and the Canadian Armed Forces. Retired general John de Chastelain, the former chief of the defence staff

who played a key role in the prolonged Northern Ireland peace process, has also been promoted to companion, as was Dr. Richard Cruess, former dean of medicine at McGill University in Montreal. Among the 19 new officers are opera singer Gerald Finley and Harold Jennings, who was cited for his work on a pediatric vaccine against the most common form of meningitis. Shirley Marie Tilghman of Toronto and Princeton, N.J., has been made an officer in recognition of her contributions to molecular biology and for her efforts to champion women in science and engineering. There are 64 new members of the order.

Summit services for seniors CAROLYN GRANT
The latest 2011 census data shows that Kimberley’s population is growing and a good portion of that growth is retirees. And not only retirees choosing to move to Kimberley for its lifestyle and recreation opportunities, but many seniors who have lived here all their lives seem very content to stay in Kimberley rather than moving on.

Lori Joe of Summit Community Services Society says that Kimberley seniors do appreciate the services made available by the Society. These programs focus on both physical and emotional wellness and the small non-profit society continues to work hard at accessing funding to provide these valuable services. “In 1993, through our Seniors Helping Seniors “Friendly Visitor” Service, the Kimberley Family Resource Centre has been providing an integrated system of affordable and inclusive communitybased programs and

as well as support to one another in the process. When transportation for doctor’s/specialist appointments in Cranbrook, to the clinic, drug store, bank and or grocery store is needed, the volunteer drivers are coordinated through the Family Centre to provide that service. The volunteers also provide respite in order that the caregiver will enjoy a little free time. “Referrals are received on an ongoing basis from individuals themselves, family members, One-Stop Information, IH Case Managers, IH Social Workers, EK Caregivers Network and Elderly Mental Health,” Joe said. “The coordinator contacts the referred participant to review the program, and to establish their suitability and desire to participate. Participants are then matched up with volunteers according to their individual needs, interests, and abilities.”

Seniors Wellness in Motion (S.W.I.M.) Seniors Wellness in
Motion (S.W.I.M.) The Seniors Wellness In Motion (S.W.I.M & Social) program is a very unique community program that includes aquatic exercises specifically designed for seniors that are living with chronic illnesses. The program targets the isolated seniors that live alone and who may live at risk, may no longer drive, and have debilitating health issues resulting from little to no exercise. With the leadership of a certified instructor, and volunteer assistants we are able break down the barriers many seniors face as they age; inability to exercise because of muscle loss, arthritis,
chronic back pain lack of transportation, isolation, no one-toone volunteer support. The exercise component of Seniors Wellness In Motion takes place in the pool and as a result of the buoyancy of water the targeted user group is able to carry out exercises that they could not effectively do on dry land. For this age group the fear of falling is no longer an issue when exercising in water. The comfort and fluidity of water allows them more confidence to do many different aquatic exercises such as: walking backwards, peddle jog and scull, side fall recovery, bounce jog, sideways walking, and peddling a bike.

Urinary Problems - The Scoop Numerous individuals over the age of 40 experience an ever growing problem regarding the weakening of the bladder and the sphincter muscle that controls the release of urine. This condition often relates to an increased urgency to urinate and/or the inability to control urination. Urinary frequency or nocturia (frequent nighttime urination): 50 percent of the adult population (over age 60) experiences a frequency in nighttime urination leading to disturbed sleep patterns. Urinary incontinence or involuntary loss of urine: according to recent research, 48% of women and 17% of men over age 70 suffer urinary incontinence. Women suffer from these urinary problems for different reasons. Women can suffer from a weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and/or a weakening of the bladder sphincter (the muscle that controls urine flow). Men usually experience urinary problems due to various prostate disturbances (as in the swelling of the prostate) that occur with increased age.

According to ongoing research, tart cherries are a rich source of anti-inflammatory antioxidants that can help blood circulation and heart disease. They contain compounds that help relieve the pain of arthritis, gout and even headaches. The secret to the benefits of 100% Pure Organic Certified Tart Cherry Juice is a compound called anthocyanin, which is the pigment that gives cherries that bright red hue. These same anthocyanins may also significantly help to reduce the risk of colon cancer. In addition, tart cherries are rich in another antioxidant, melatonin. Melatonin is important in regulating our Circadian rhythm, or biological clock. Having the correct melatonin levels can cure insomnia.

Expired Medications Are expired medications still safe? It is 2 a.m.
and that cough and stuffy nose you have been battling is still keeping you up. You reach for the nighttime cold relief medicine only to find it expired a few months ago. If you take a dose to ease your symptoms, will you be putting yourself at risk? This situation is a relatively common occurrence. Many medicine cabinets are stocked with overthe-counter drugs as well as prescription medications that may be past their expiration dates. It is a good idea to routinely discard expired medicines, but if you happen to take a drug that has passed its expiration date, you will most likely suffer no ill effects. According to the Harvard Medical School Family Health
Guide, the expiration date on a medicine is not the dates when a drug becomes hazardous. Rather, it marks the period of time after which a drug company can no longer guarantee the efficacy of the medication. Since 1979, drug manufacturers selling medications in the United States have been required by the Food and Drug Administration to stamp an expiration date on their products. This is the date until which the manufacturer can still guarantee full potency of the drug.
scientific reasons. It doesn’t make financial sense to a company to have products on the shelves for years. Therefore, most drug manufacturers will not do long-term testing on products to confirm if they will be effective 10 to 15 years after manufacture. The U.S. military has conducted their own studies with the help of the FDA. FDA researchers tested more than 100 overthe-counter and prescription drugs. Around 90 percent were proven to still be effective long past the expiration date -- some for more than 10 years.
Expiration dates also may be a marketing ploy. Francis Flaherty, a retired FDA pharmacist, has said drug manufacturers put expiration dates on products for marketing purposes rather than
Drugs that are stored in cool, dark places have a better chance of lasting because the fillers used in the product will not separate or start to break down as
they might in a warm, humid environment. Storing medicines in the refrigerator can prolong their shelf life. Although a pharmacist cannot legally advise consumers to use medication past an expiration date, most over-the-counter pain relievers and drugs in pill form should still be fine. Certain liquid antibiotics and drugs made up of organic materials can expire faster than others. For those who still want to err on the safe side, routinely clean out medications from cabinets once they expire. However, if an expired medication is taken by mistake, there’s little need to worry about potentially adverse effects.

Calgary police chief questions reward to find missing family C ANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Calgary’s police chief questions whether a reward would help the investigation into the disappearance of a five-yearold boy and his grandparents. Nathan O’Brien was reported missing Monday when his mother went to pick him up after a sleepover at the grandparents’ home. Alvin Likens, 66, his wife Kathy, 53, and Nathan weren’t there and an Amber Alert was issued by police. Nathan’s father, Rod O’Brien, has told local media the family will be offering a reward and a news conference was scheduled with investigators later Wednesday. But Chief Rick Hansen said in cases like this, a reward can just cause more work for police because people could step forward with bogus tips that must be checked out. “If you do use a reward, if there is a lot of money that is created for a reward, frequently it increases the workload because you have got all kinds of people then who step forward with information that may not even be related
to it,” he said in an interview with radio station CHQR. Hansen said if people have information about a case they will usually call the Crime Stoppers phone tip line. There was an outpouring of sympathy and support for the family on Rod O’Brien’s Facebook page. Many were offering help. Investigators have said that based on things they found in the grandparents’ home, they don’t believe the three left voluntarily. An estate sale was held in the home over the weekend and there have been reports that the grandparents talked about downsizing and moving to Mexico, but police said they haven’t been able to determine whether the sale is relevant to the case. Police have said there are no custody issues with the family — the boy’s parents are married and he is their biological son. Police have also said they have no history with the family. The grandparents’ vehicles are accounted for, as are those of other family members.
‘Overwhelming evidence’ to prove guilt in B.C. gang murder case: Crown C ANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The Crown says there is “overwhelming evidence” to prove that two men participated in the gang murders of six people as part of a dispute related the Vancouver area drug trade. Two of the victims were innocent bystanders, who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when the killings took place in Surrey on Oct. 19, 2007. Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston
are each charged with conspiracy and six counts of first-degree murder. Crown counsel Mark Levitz says Haevischer, Johnston and a man known only as Person X were members of the Red Scorpions, a gang whose leaders had decided to kill a rival drug trafficker. Levitz says that as members of the gang, Haevischer and Johnston clearly had a motive to follow orders and participate in the plan.

Tibetans inherited high altitude gene ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Tibetans living on the “roof of the world” can thank an extinct human relative for providing a gene that helps them adapt to the high altitude, a study suggests. Past research has concluded that a particular gene helps people live in the thin air of the Tibetan plateau. Now scientists report that the Tibetan version of that gene is found in DNA from Denisovans, a poorly understood human relative more closely related to Neanderthals than modern people. Denisovans are known only from fossils in a Siberian cave that are dated to at least about 50,000 years ago. Some of their DNA has also been found in other modern populations, indicating they interbred with ancient members of today’s human race long ago. But the version of the high-altitude gene shared by Denisovans
and Tibetans is found in virtually no other population today, researchers report in an article released Wednesday by the journal Nature. That suggests that Denisovans or close relatives of theirs introduced the gene variant into the modern human species, but that it remained rare until some people started moving into the Tibetan plateau, said study main author Rasmus Nielsen of the University of California, Berkeley. At that point, it conferred a survival advantage and so spread through the Tibetan population, he said in an email. It’s not clear whether the Denisovans were also adapted to high altitudes, he said. The results show that as early members of today’s human species expanded outside of Africa and encountered new environments, they could call
on their genetic legacies from other species, he said. That’s easier than waiting for a helpful genetic mutation to arise, he said. The Tibetan plateau rises above 13,000 feet (4,000 metres) in elevation. The genetic variant helps survival there by affecting the amount of oxygen the blood can carry when a person is in thin air. Apart from Tibetans, it is found very rarely in Han Chinese and also exists in Mongolians and Sherpas, who are also related to Tibetans and may have picked it up relatively recently, Nielsen said. The researchers found no trace of it outside East Asia. Todd Disotell, an anthropology professor at New York University who didn’t participate in the study, called the new work “one of the coolest scientific results I have seen in a while.... This is a slamdunk case.”

What is Biopuncture? Biopuncture is an injection therapy that can be used for the treatment of arthritis and other related joint pain including; shoulder pain, neck pain, knee pain, back pain and tendonitis as well as muscle pain, sciatica, fibromyalgia, sports injuries and scarring. Injection therapies date all the way back to Roman times when they would insert hot needles into the shoulders of injured gladiators. Luckily, technological advances have allowed us to continue similar treatments using more sterile methods. Biopuncture is one type of injection therapy that was first used in 1991 by Dr. Jan Kersschot for the treatment of sports related injuries, but has since been developed to treat many other conditions. Biopuncture uses low doses of sterile herbs, vitamins and other compounds to stimulate healing in joints and muscle tissue. Treatments typically involve very superficial injections (subcutaneous and intradermal) using needles that are no bigger than acupuncture needles and acupuncture points are often incorporated to improve the therapeutic effect. As with any treatment that pierces the skin the main risks involved include bleeding, bruising and infection of the injection site but with proper technique and sterilization these are uncommon. The risks and pain associated with injection therapy are also minimized as the needling technique does not go deep into joints or muscles making the treatments much more comfortable for the patient. If you have any questions or comments about biopuncture please feel free to contact us at: 778-481-5008 or info@rootsto-health.com Visit us on the web at www.roots-tohealth.com

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Let others fuss about the last-minute details of getting together this July 4th. A partner or dear friend will take the lead, but he or she still might complain. You’ll witness a change of tune with an older friend. Check in, and make sure that he or she feels OK. Tonight: In party mode. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your imagination soars and clears up obstacles with ease. You might be more in the mood for a holiday party than you realize. Don’t hesitate to delegate any work involved with planning a get-together. Tonight: Let the party begin. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Stay anchored. You know what you want and how to get it. You could be exhausted by recent activities, and you easily could be cranky when dealing with others. Make it a point to let go of a problem that has been on the backburner. Tonight: A little
rest and relaxation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll feel much better than you have in a while. Others might not agree with your plans for a fun few days. Though you love staying at home and enjoying all the creature comforts, not everyone else does. Be open to different suggestions. Tonight: Let the fireworks begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of your tendency to be overcritical. You suppress your ingenuity when you fall into a negative mindset. Pressure could build around what you must do. Understand that you might need to reorganize your schedule. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a celebration. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not be aware of how much your natural, relaxed ways draw others to you. Resist becoming upset because of a hassle or two -- it is not worth it. An important bond you have with a child seems to be changing. Make an adjustment. Tonight: Let it all hang out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
have the ability to clear out a lot of obstacles quickly. A friend or loved one might seem remote. Don’t read too much into this, as he or she behaves like this often. Tonight: Switch gears. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone you care a lot about could be quite demanding. Don’t allow this person to force your hand. How you see a situation could be changing. Listen to your intuition about what is going on. Maybe you can root out the problem. Tonight: Join a friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others come forward with suggestions. They seem to be very concerned about how you feel. Let them dote on you for a change, as it usually is the other way around. Do yourself a favor and relax. Forget about entertaining; instead, be entertained. Tonight: Enjoy the evening. BORN TODAY Novelist Franz Kafka (1883), actor Tom Cruise (1962), journalist Julian Assange (1971) ***

You need some downtime. Even if you are out and about, you are likely to remain closed off. Wouldn’t it be better to take off for a day or two and get some “you” time? Reach out to a loved one at a distance and share what ails you. Tonight: Nap first, then decide. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on friends’ plans, and maintain an even pace in order to clear up what must be done. Be more forthright in how you deal with a close relative or loved one. This seems to be changing in front of your eyes. Tonight: Where the people are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel pressured once more by a parent or loved one. Be sure to respond to others’ authority and concerns. You could feel as if you have to respond to each request, thus creating more stress for yourself. Allow others to pitch in more often. Tonight: Celebrate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Connect with someone at a distance whom you might have plans with for the holiday. You

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 76-year-old man. After 46 years of a happy marriage, my precious wife passed away four years ago. I live in the country and have become acquainted with several single women around my age who are widows or divorcees and live within a 20-mile radius. I have taken a few of them out to dinner or to a play. They go with me once or twice and won’t go again. They tell me they are too busy with their grandchildren. One said, “We are too different.” Another said she is not in the dating mood. All have told me that I am a real nice guy, and it’s not because of anything I did or said. I’ve never made inappropriate advances toward these women. I’ve only asked for a little hug because I miss holding my wife. But it seems they do not want to be touched, and two of them told me that I am expecting too much. I have never indicated that I wanted more than a hug, although I have to admit, in my own mind, I have hoped that after going out a few times, we could go a little farther than that. I’m not looking for a serious relationship. I am just extremely lonesome and would like to have a companion to go places with and be together occasionally. I’ve never really understood women, so I’m at a loss here. I don’t own a computer, so I cannot try meeting women online. Do you have any suggestions? Please tell me what I’m doing wrong. -- Lonesome Okie Dear Lonesome: We don’t know what you are doing wrong. If you are giving these women the impression that you want physical affection, but not a serious relationship, they may not be interested. Asking for hugs on a first date may be too forward, or it may frighten them. We know you are lonely, but please slow down. You might be coming across as too needy, which is not attractive. Get to know these women as friends first, and see where it leads. And if you are interested in online dating, your local library can provide a computer. Dear Annie: My brother’s daughter is getting married this summer. She’s having a huge wedding. All of the nieces, nephews and cousins are invited except our three daughters. My brother said they have to cut somewhere. Should I just shrug this off? I told my mother that I’m so upset, I’m thinking of never seeing or speaking to my brother again. Is this a feeling I should be having? Should I ask my brother what we did to them that they would exclude us in this way? -- Not a Happy Sister Dear Sister: Generally, it is wise to “cut” along the same family lines, so that, for example, you invite all first cousins or none of them. However, sometimes the bride or groom has a close relationship with some cousins and not others. In such cases, if the guest list is limited, it makes sense to invite those with whom you are closest. Is it possible that your children are especially distant from the bride? Have they had a falling out of which you are unaware? Unless there is a reason, we find this exclusion unnecessarily hurtful. We hope you can work through it. Dear Annie: “Disgusted in N.Y.” said her 85-year-old aunt never had a bath in the six weeks she spent in the hospital. There is evidence not to bathe hospital patients using plastic tubs due to increased infection rates when tubs are not disinfected sufficiently between uses. As a result, many hospitals have adopted the use of prepackaged disposable bath wipes. Often these are warmed and feel good to the patient, and it cleans them. Perhaps the hospital needs to investigate using these wipes. -- Pennsylvania Nurse Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The U.S. Department of Energy is preparing to clean up the site of 1976 ‘Atomic Man’ accident.
U.S. prepares to clean up Hanford site room ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPOKANE, Wash. — Workers are preparing to enter one of the most dangerous rooms on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation — the site of a 1976 blast that exposed a technician to a massive dose of radiation, leading to him being nicknamed the “Atomic Man.” Harold McCluskey was working in the room when a chemical reaction caused a glass glove box to explode. He was exposed to the highest dose of radiation from the chemical element americium ever recorded — 500 times the occupational standard. Hanford, located in central Washington state, made plutonium for nuclear weapons for decades. The room was used to

closed Plutonium Finishing Plant and is scheduled for cleanup this summer. “It’s been largely closed up since the accident,” Geoff Tyree, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Energy in Richland, said Wednesday. “It was restricted for the potential for airborne radiation contamination.” Since 2008, the Department of Energy and contractor CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company have been preparing the plant for demolition. “About two-thirds of the Plutonium Finishing Plant is deactivated — cleaned out and ready for demolition,” said Jon Peschong, an assistant DOE manager in Richland. “Clean-
ing out the McCluskey Room will be a major step forward.” When specially trained and equipped workers enter the room this summer, they will encounter airborne radioactivity, surface contamination, confined spaces and poor ventilation, the DOE said. They will be wearing abrasion-resistant suits that protect them from surface contamination and chemicals. The suits are pressurized, to prevent workers from coming into contact with airborne contaminants. The McCluskey Room “is going to be the toughest work ahead of us as we finish cleaning the plant and getting it ready for demolition by the end of September 2016,” Tyree said.
Target asks customers to not bring in firearms ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Target is “respectfully” asking its customers to not bring firearms into its stores, even where it is allowed by law. In a statement posted Wednesday on the retailer’s corporate blog, interim CEO John Mulligan said that Target wants a “safe and inviting” atmosphere for its shoppers and employees. “This is a complicated issue, but it boils down to a simple belief: Bringing firearms to Target creates an environment that is at odds with the fami-
ly-friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create,” he said. In many states, carrying unconcealed guns in public is legal. Molly Snyder, a Target spokeswoman, said that Target’s move is a “request and not a prohibition.” “We don’t have any plans for proactive communication to guests beyond what Target leadership shared today,” she added. Target does not sell guns in its stores or on its website. Target Corp. made the an-
nouncement as it faced pressure about its policy on the “open carry” of firearms in its stores. A group called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America gathered nearly 400,000 signatures for a petition asking Target to prohibit shoppers from carrying guns into its stores. The group has said it is responsible for getting several chains, including Chipotle, Starbucks and Jack in the Box, to to make similar moves. It introduced the campaign after gun rights groups carrying loaded rifles frequently gath-
ered in Target stores including Texas, Alabama and North Carolina to demonstrate in support of “open carry” laws. “Such positive safety changes made by some of our country’s leading retailers are proof of the influence of women and mothers,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. “As we look toward election season, we hope our legislators are taking notice that when women and mothers collectively raise our voices — and soon cast our votes, we are determined to leave an impact.”

recover radioactive americium, a byproduct of plutonium. McCluskey, then 64, was placed in isolation in a decontamination facility for five months. Within a year, his body’s radiation count had fallen by about 80 per cent and he was allowed to return home. Friends at first avoided him until his minister told people it was safe to be around him. He died of coronary artery disease — unrelated to the accident — in 1987 at the age of 75. Hanford contains the nation’s greatest collection of nuclear waste, and for more than two decades has been engaged in the dangerous work of cleaning up that waste. The space now dubbed the McCluskey Room is located inside the
SKOWHEGAN, Maine — A letter written by a school teacher in 1931 to her mother has finally been delivered — 83 years later. Twenty-three-year-old Mir-
iam McMichael sent the ninepage letter to Dollena McMichael. Both women have since died. The letter was lost and only recently found at the post office in Pittsfield, Maine. Postal worker Michelle
Rowell found it and tells the Morning Sentinel she knew it was old because of the 2-cent stamp. The postmaster and town officials tracked down the family, and the letter is now in the hands of 69-year-old Ann
MacMichael, Miriam’s niece and Dollena’s granddaughter. The spelling of the family name has changed. MacMichael says the irony is that the writer apologizes for not writing sooner.

Studies that claimed simple way to make stem cells withdrawn ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — U.S. and Japanese scientists who reported that they’d found a startlingly simple way to make stem cells withdrew that claim Wednesday, admitting to “extensive” errors in the research. In two papers published in January in the journal Nature, the Japanese and American researchers said that they’d been able to transform ordinary mouse cells into versatile stem cells by exposing them to a mildly acidic environment. Scientists hope to harness stem cells to grow replacement tissue for treating a variety of diseases. While scientists have long been able to perform such transformations with a different method, the newly reported technique was far simpler, and the paper gained wide notice — and some skepticism —
in the research community. It was also widely reported in the media. But before long, the government-funded Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Japan accused one of its scientists, Haruko Obokata, of falsifying data in the research. Obokata, the key author of the papers, defended the results during a televised news conference in April while apologizing for using wrong images in the published reports. On Wednesday, Nature released a statement from Obokata and the other authors of the papers that withdrew the papers. The scientists acknowledged “extensive” errors that meant “we are unable to say without a doubt” that the method works. They noted that studies of the simpler method are still going on by other researchers.
Dr. Charles Vacanti of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, another main author, issued a separate statement in which he said he believes the further studies will vindicate the method, which produced what the authors called STAP cells. But another author, Yoshiki Sasai, deputy director of the Riken centre, said the errors in the papers meant “it has become increasingly difficult to call the STAP phenomenon even a promising hypothesis.” In a statement issued by Riken, he said he was “deeply ashamed” of the problems in the papers. Retractions of papers in major scientific journals like Nature are rare. They can come about because of fraud or the discovery of honest mistakes that undercut the conclusions of research.
