The rehab of the Black Bear bridge at the end of Rotary Drive has been delayed says Mayor Ron McRae.

Work on the bridge stopped last week and McRae says it is somewhat

behind schedule. He says there is additional concrete work to be done and the contractor’s concrete spe-cialist was on another job site.

“The contractor has also had to deal with a death at one of their other job sites,” McRae said.

However, the contractor was ex-pected back on the job site this week

to do the additional concrete work on the abutments. Girders were also scheduled to arrive this week.

This still leaves the re-opening of the bridge several weeks away as once the concrete decking is poured, it needs to set for seven days. McRae says the bridge is now scheduled to re-open in mid-September.

At the Spokane, Washington, Scottish Highland Games in early August, Isabel Hogg of Kimberley won two of the top three awards, first and second place, in the Traditional Scottish Shortbread competition, keeping up a family tradition of producing very good shortbread. Her mother, Liz Davidson, a very competent pro-ducer of Scottish shortbread, would be very proud of her daughter. In Isabel’s first year of entering the judged contest last year, she placed second in the competition and determined to compete again this year and try for first place. She surpassed her expectations with two awards. Those who attend her husband’s annual studio art show can attest to how good her shortbread is as Isabel always has shortbread on hand for all who attend the exhibit. Bulletin staff can also attest to the fact that it is delicious!

Whiteswan Provincial Park re-opened; most

travel restrictions lifted; proactive

burning begins on White Complex fires


Camping season is officially back on. Not only has the fire ban been lifted throughout the Southeast Fire Zone, and in the City of Kimberley, but access to one of the areas most popular campsites, Whiteswan Provincial Park, is now open.

With several days of rain and cooler temperatures giving fire crews an opportunity to make progress on many fires in the area, most travel restrictions have been lifted as well.

The group of fires known as the White Complex near Canal Flats are still getting plenty of at-tention, however.

Jordan Turner, Fire Informa-tion Officer with the Southeast Fire Centre, says that while many areas of the East Kootenay re-ceived substantial rain, that was not so much the case with the White Complex.

“That area didn’t get as much rain, but it did get some, which was a great improvement,” he said.

There are currently seven

lightning caused fires burning in the White Complex.

As of Monday morning, they are:

The White Tail Brook Fire, 8km east of Canal Flats, is ap-proximately 2000 hectares and is 70 per cent contained.

The Whiteswan Lake Fire, ad-jacent to the south edge of Whiteswan Lake, is approxi-mately 5 hectares and 100 per cent contained.

The White Rock Fire, 2km east of the White River, is approxi-mately 1000 hectares and 60% per cent contained.

The Shark Tooth Mountain Fire, 17 km southeast of Canal Flats, is approximately 130 hect-ares and not contained.

The East White Tail Fire, 1.5km southeast of Munroe Lake, is approximately 300 hectares and 50 per cent contained.

The East White River Fire, 4km northwest of Munroe Lake, is approximately 550 hectares and is 50 per cent contained.

The Little Elk Creek Fire, 30km east of Invermere, is ap-proximately 240 hectares and is 25 per cent contained.

“There are 156 firefighters, five pieces of heavy equipment and four helicopters working in this complex,” Turner said.

On Monday, August 18, crews began what is called ‘proactive burning’ around these fires. Res-idents were warned that there would be visible columns of smoke as the burns began.

Incidents in 1948, 1948 and

1991C AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

As reported in the Bulletin last week, there was a previous break in the Cominco tailings ponds at the Sullivan Mine in 1948. A look through old newspaper clippings and Cominco magazines from previous years, show there were also incidents in 1974 and 1991.

In the spring of 1974, according to reports in the Daily Bulletin, water began seeping into streets and basements on 301st Street in Marysville. A study by an engineer-ing firm determined the source was the calcine pond behind the Fertiliz-er plant. The report rec-ommended that Comin-co reduce the amount of water it was discharging into the calcine pond by adding a thickener. It also recommended a drain-age ditch be put in at the toe of the bank to carry excess water into Cow Creek.

There was a problem with the tailings ponds in 1991 as well.

Cominco Magazine’s December 1991 edition described it as follows.

“On August 23, at ap-proximately 4 p.m., a major dyke failure 1050 feet long occurred along the perimeter of the ac-tive tailings impound-ment area at the Sullivan Concentrator. The failure occurred within an hour of the completion of an-other lift on this engi-neered structure. Fortu-nately, no one was in-jured and no tailings were released to the envi-ronment.

“The site was imme-diately secured, and the Mines Inspector was on site within two hours to inspect the area.”

At that time, a drilling and soil sampling pro-gram was conducted to determine the cause and report on the stability of the entire structure.

Cominco Magazine reported in September of 1992 that 790,000 cubic yards of float rock were required to repair the failed dyke.

“During the investiga-tion of the remaining iron

dyke, the geo-technical consultant identified an-other area of foundation weaknesses similar to the failure area and several areas of localized weak-ness higher up in the dyke.

“These areas required stabilization to prevent another possible failure from occurring especially in the event of an earth-quake.”

There are lessons to be learned from each tail-ings dam failure suggests a paper written in BC in 2002 entitled ‘Mine Tail-ings Dams: When Things Go Wrong’. The paper was written by Michael Davies, Todd Martin and Peter Lighthall at AGRA Earth & Environmental Limited, Burnaby, BC.

The report begins by stating: “Mine tailings impoundment failures continue to occur at un-acceptable rates. The worldwide mining indus-try has experienced roughly one significant impoundment failure per year over the past 30 years.

“So why do failures of tailings dams continue to occur? The failures are not just of older facilities constructed without for-mal designs, but include facilities designed and commissioned in the past 5 to 20 years - sup-posedly the “modern age” of tailings dam engi-neering.

“The first step in eval-uating the reasons for continued tailings dam failures comes from rec-ognizing the uniqueness of mine tailings dams. The unique attributes in-clude:

• Tailings impound-ments are among the largest man-made struc-tures with several ap-proaching 1 x 109 tonnes of stored slurried tailings;

• Tailings dams are built on a continuous basis by mine operators; and

• Tailings dams are a cost to the mining pro-cess - they do not gener-ate a revenue stream akin to a hydroelectric dam.”

The study used the Sullivan Mine incidents in 1948 and 1991 as an example.

“Sullivan Mine, Cana-da - 1948 and 1991

Davies et al. (1998) describe the static lique-faction event that oc-curred to the Active Iron Pond tailings impound-ment at the Sullivan Mine in August of 1991. The event resulted in a flow-slide but, fortunately, an-other tailings dyke con-tained the flow and no offsite impact was experi-enced. The dam had been built on a founda-tion of older tailings that were placed as beach below water (BBW) ma-terial. The failure oc-curred to the upstream constructed facility by the

initiation of shear stress-es in the foundation tail-ings in excess of their shear strength. As the material strained, the pore pressures rose and drainage was impeded leading to liquefaction event. The downstream slope of the dyke was roughly 3H:1V, imposing stresses in excess of the collapse surface for the foundation tailings in an extensive stress path and near to the collapse sur-face in compressive shear.

“The Sullivan tailings facility had been under the design and monitor-ing stewardship of a rec-ognized consulting orga-nization. This event served to demonstrate that “a well intentioned corporation employing apparently well-qualified consultants is not ade-quate insurance against serious incidents” (Mor-genstern, 1998). Ironical-ly, the 1991 event was similar in nature to a dyke failure that occurred in 1948. The passage of more than forty years should not have been enough to induce the de-signers into TDA (Tail-ings Dam Amnesia). As defined by Martin and Davies (2000),TDA refers to a state of tailings dam design or stewardship where lessons available at that very site are ig-nored in spite of ample available information on-

site, visual evidence of previous event occur-rence and/or published accounts of incidents on a given project.”

The report concluded with recommendations, including one to those who regulate tailings dams.

“Regulators - estab-lish/maintain a database on all tailings dams, op-erating and otherwise, within your jurisdiction. Maintain candid assess-ments of the perfor-mance records of owners and designers and share such details with other regulators as appropriate. Facilitate developments where the owner pres-ents an independently reviewed design that is consistent with standard design criteria. Work to repeal regulations that are incompatible with common sense.”

School Trustees believe a

negotiated end to strike still

possible


As we head into the last two weeks of August, parents are understand-ably becoming some-what worried about the BCTF labour dispute. Will school start on time or will other childcare arrangements need to be made?

The provincial gov-

ernment has offered $40 per day per child under 13 to help assist parents with childcare costs should school not start. The money will come from strike savings. The BC School Trustees As-sociation (BCSTA) would prefer to see sav-ings from the strike put into the class size issue. And a mediator is work-ing with the BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) and the BC Public School Employers Association (BCPSEA) to try to re-solve the labour dispute.

Canadian Press - The B.C. government has ap-pointed a three-member panel to conduct an in-dependent investigation of a massive tailings pond breach at a gold and copper mine.

The government is also ordering other mine companies to conduct safety inspections of their own tailings ponds by Dec. 1, and to have the in-spections reviewed by outside engineering firms.

Mines Minister Bill Bennett says the indepen-dent inquiry will be paid for by Imperial Metals, owner of the Mount Polley mine where two weeks ago the dam failure sent millions of litres of waste water into a network of salmon-bearing lakes and streams near the town of Likely, in the province’s central Interior.

Bennett says the panel geotechnical engineers and mining experts will explore the cause of the failure and make recommendations by the end of January 2015.

When the Mount Polley dam breached two weeks ago, Imperial Metals said there was no sign of trouble, however an environmental consultant’s report warned the pond was growing at an unsus-tainable rate.

B.C.’s Environment Ministry said over the weekend that initial tests on the slurry from the mine show the waste poses no risk to humans but may harm aquatic life.

From Page 1“We want to contain

these fires,” Turner said. “That is the purpose of the burn-off. The hope is to burn off areas and guide the fires to con-trol lines at the valley bottoms so there is no opportunity for them to grow.”

No communities or structures are threat-ened by these fires.

The Southeast Fire Centre would like to re-mind aircraft operators that when smoke or flame are identified in a wildland area the sur-rounding airspace (over a forest fire area, or over any area that is located within five nautical miles of a forest fire, at an altitude of less than 915 metres or 3,000 feet above ground level) au-tomatically becomes flight restricted under the authority of Section 601.15 of the Canadian Aviation Regulation.

Almost all area re-strictions have been lift-ed.

The following forest service roads are now open:

The main Whiteswan Forest Service Road from Highway 93/95 junction to the 32-km marker.

The entire Kootenay Forest Service Road.

The entire White-Rock Forest Service Road.

Access roads leading to Whiteswan Provin-cial Park and Lussier

Hot Springs are now open, and the park will re-opened on Monday.

However, access to the White River Forest Service Road via the Whiteswan Forest Ser-vice Road will be closed past the 32-km marker to the general public due to fire fighting activ-ities in the area.

An area restriction put in place northwest of Elkford continues.

This includes the en-tire East Fork of the White River Forest Ser-vice Road (FSR) from approximately 46.0 km to Munroe Lake; the Bull River FSR south to approximately 95 km and the entire Crown land portion of the Crossing Creek Trail east to Round Prairie.

Although the fire danger has dropped in most of Southeast Brit-ish Columbia, it re-mains “Moderate” to “High” in the areas sur-rounding the White Complex. The South-east Fire Centre is urg-ing the public to be extra cautious with campfires in the back-country. All per-son-caused fires are preventable and these incidents may affect the ability of the firefighting crews to respond to nat-urally occurring fires.

To report a wildfire or unattended camp-fire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

$2,000 Raised for Kimberley

Summer Theatre

On July 29th the Kimberley Ladies Golf Club held a very suc-cessful ‘PLAY’AROUND Charity Tournament in support of Kimberley’s Summer Theatre who have been providing en-tertaining theatre expe-riences to locals and tourists for the past many years. As Summer Theatre’s last perfor-mance in 2013 was The Wizard of Oz, all the special events of the tournament revolved around that Play. The Play of the Day on each hole consisted of a question to be answered by either Dorothy, the Lion, the Tinman, or the

Scarecrow (characters assigned to each mem-ber of the 4 person team), with 4 multiple choice answers. If an-swered correctly, the team could choose their lowest score on that hole. If answered incor-rectly, Dorothy, the Lion, the Tinman, or the Scarecrow had to take their own score. Prizes consisted of yellow mugs, golf balls, ruby sandals and Wizard of Oz characters made into golf club covers. Many of the 56 participants got into the spirit and dressed up in theatre re-lated costumes.

In all $2000. was raised for Summer The-atre: $1070 by personal donations from the la-dies, $328 by sale of

Household Goods do-nated by the ladies, $141 by Shawn Diacon, Rus-sell duToit and Jared du-Toit who shared their special golfing talents by driving off on hole #1 for a donation from the la-dies. Thanks go out to Murray Maclean who spotted on #1 as many of the drives were far-ther than the ladies could see. Kimberley Golf Club donated ¼ of the green fees and cart rentals for the day which totaled $424.90. The Kimberley Ladies Golf Club contributed an ad-ditional $36.10 to bring the grand total up to $2000.

Longest putts on holes #2 and #17 were won by Jeannette Lavoie and Dorothy Amy. Clos-

est to the pin on holes #7 and #15 were Ethel Jen-kins and Chris Smith. Closest to the electrical box on hole #6 was Kris-ti Rossi. The team who landed closest to the Yellow Brick Road, a crooked line on hole #4, included Gloria Seney, Ethel Jenkins, Ria House and Sandy Peters. Of the many who landed in greenside sand at #8 and #14, Sharon Ablett and Donna Grainger were the ‘lucky’ draw winners of ruby red san-dals.

A special thank you to the following spon-sors: Grubstake, Roots, Rustic Hutch, Friends of the Public Library, Chatters, Eclipse Hair, Kimberley Golf Club and Western Financial

Group. Special excite-ment was created for all 56 participants by West-ern Financial Group’s $10,000 Hole-in-One sponsorship. Unfortu-nately, this prize was not won which can be attested to by Ron Os-terkampf and Bob Mc-Lean who joined in the fun disguising them-selves as Abbot and Costello to spot on hole #15.

Thanks also to all the individual donators, participants and orga-nizers of this very fun-filled tournament for a worthwhile charity, Summer Theatre, which has contributed so much to Kimberley’s summer hustle and bus-tle in the past .

From page 3Both sides have

agreed to media silence during negotiations.

Chair of the Rocky Mountain SD 6 Board, Jim Jenkinson says that the SD 6 Board shares the advocacy of the BCSTA.

“We are hopeful that the BCTF and BCPSEA are able to reach a nego-tiated settlement so that our students and staff will be back in school on September 2,” he said.

The BCSTA has pre-pared a back to school

action plan and Jenkin-son provided a copy to the Bulletin.

The plan calls for a negotiated settlement with teachers by August 31 so that the 2014-2015 school year can start on time.

The plan asks for movement on both sides — it requests the BCTF modify their wage and benefit increases so that they fall within the range of other public sector settlements; and it calls on the government to put all savings from the

strike and lockout into a Learning Improvement fund that will put funds into class size and com-position.

While the hope is there for a settlement, preparation time will be needed says SD 6 super-intendent Paul Carriere.

“Certainly teachers will need time prior to the start of classes to get ready, and I would ex-pect that those prepara-tions will begin in haste from the time a negotiat-ed settlement is reached until the time classes

start,” he said. “The best case scenario would be that there will be a settle-ment the week before and school start-up will go ahead as usual. In our case a settlement would mean we will go ahead with three non-instruc-tional/professional de-velopment days August 27-29 and classes would start on September 2. If the settlement does not occur by then we will have to see what unfolds in September.”

School could still start sept 2


OpiniOn/EvEnts

My name is Raux, and I have a disabili-ty. This is the tenth in a weekly series about living with a disability in a community like Cranbrook.

When it’s time to build or renovate your home there are many things to consider: do you need room to move equipment around, what flooring would best suit your needs, stairs vs ramps vs elevators & lifts, etc. Also there are ways to make your home aesthetically pleasing without being clini-cal...

Part I – Entrance & DoorsSecurity: If you are in a rental you can

leave a key in a lockbox and give the code to people you trust to have access to your home, including care aids. A great bonus of using a lockbox instead of giving copies of your keys out is that you can easily change your code.

Entry: Doors can be heavy and difficult to open for some; there are automatic openers you can install, you can also bolt a ring to the door and use a strap or leash to give you better grip and leverage by using the power of your wheelchair or scooter to pull the door open.

For myself it is easiest to push through doorways, I plan to design a rotating door

that will allow me to push the door from either side for easy access. I’ve also seen garage doors open up to restaurant patios and thought that a small automatic garage door would be a cool accessible entry door.

Interior Doors: Double doors (i.e. French), pocket and barn-style track doors can be used to provide privacy to rooms when needed and left open otherwise so you can enter and exit rooms easily, giving you a more open concept to our home.

…If you can’t easily enter and exit your home you may feel confined by your home. You not only want your entrance to be wel-coming to your guests but to you as well.

“Tatooine” is, you will surely agree, a pretty stupid name for a planet, but there are so many Star Wars fans that some un-fortunate world is bound to end up being called exactly that. Let’s just hope that its inhabitants, if there are any, never find out. On the whole, though, giving more us-er-friendly names to newly found planets orbiting other stars is a good idea.

There is, for example, a potentially habitable “exo-planet” only 16 light years from here that is currently known only as Gliese 832c. As any real estate agent could tell you, it would at-tract a lot more attention if you renamed it “Nirvana”.

There are gazillions of stars, and only around 300 have proper names (Antares, Procyon, Sirius) in any language. Some of the other bright ones are named after the constellation they are in, with a Greek let-ter or a number to indicate which one they are (Alpha Centauri, 61 Cygni). But most are just a number in a star catalogue. Je-rome Lalande’s, published in 1801, had 47,390 stars, Henry Draper’s, published in 1918, listed 225,300.

Gliese 832 was named in a list of 3,803 “nearby” stars (up to 72 light years away) first published by Wilhelm Gliese in 1957, and updated several times since. The “c” was added when Gliese 832 was discov-ered to have planets two months ago. All very sensible and orderly, but not very ro-mantic. So the International Astronomical Union called in the consultants, and the result was (pause for trumpet flourish) a competition!!

The NameExoWorlds contest, an-nounced last year, will give the global pub-lic an opportunity to give more exciting or at least more memorable names to about 300 planets circling other stars. Starting

next month, a site will open on which as-tronomy clubs and other non-profit organ-isations can register with the IAU, and in October they will be asked to pick 25 or 30 of these planets for the first round of nam-ing.

Starting in December, these clubs and organisations can propose names for the

planets and their host stars (only one planet per group), and in March the general public can rank the proposals in an online vote. They’re expecting more than a million votes.

The winning names will be announced at the IAU

General Assembly in Honolulu a year from now — and Tatooine will certainly be one of the winners, provided that George Lucas gives his permission. (There might be a copyright issue.) But Vulcan will not be one of the names (sorry, Trekkies) because he was a Roman god, and names of reli-gious figures aren’t allowed.

The IAU’s naming rules are the most interesting part of the exercise. Names may not be longer than 16 characters, they should only be one word, and they must be pronounceable in some known language (though not necessarily yours). They shouldn’t be rude, they must not be of a commercial nature, and the names of pets are not acceptable.

Most importantly, they cannot be the names of living individuals, nor the names of individuals, places or events principally known for political, military or religious activities. Which would have caused a lot of problems if the rule had already been in force during the last big round of naming places.

Imagine that the IAU’s rule had been in force in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, when European sailors and settlers were sprinkling names on all the “new lands” in

the Americas and Australasia. No New En-gland, no Melbourne, and certainly no El Salvador. No Sao Paulo, no Los Angeles, and no Sydney.

The southernmost Australians dealt with the problem in 1856 by changing their island’s name from Van Diemen’s Land (he was a former governor of the Dutch East Indies) to Tasmania (Abel Tasman was simply an explorer, and safely dead by then). But New Zealand would not pass muster on the word count, and New South Wales is simply ridiculous.

Waterloo in Canada will have to go, as will Washington (both the city and the state) in the United States, and they’ll have to do something about Bolivia too. But the biggest problem will be what to do about the Americas: two entire continents called after an individual who was still alive when they were named.

Amerigo Vespucci, originally from Flor-ence, moved to Spain in 1492 and subse-quently became involved in organising various voyages of exploration to the “New World” for the kings of both Spain and Portugal. In 1507 he was credited by the German geographer Martin Waldseemul-ler with discovering that these lands were not part of Asia, as Columbus had original-ly believed, but a huge separate land-mass between Europe and Asia.

On his world map of that same year, therefore, Waldseemuller named that land-mass “America”, after the Latin ver-sion (Americus) of Vespucci’s first name. But Amerigo Vespucci was still alive — he didn’t die until 1512. The name caught on, as it happened, but Waldseemuller broke the IAU rules.

It’s never too late to fix a mistake, but what shall we call the place instead? I know. How about the continents of North Tatooine and South Tatooine? And, of course, the United States of Tatooine.

aLr changesRe: “Farm changes a great leap for-

ward” column.Tom Fletcher is confused about the

Ministry of Agriculture’s consultation, which features a public survey. He mistak-enly says it shows that changes in last spring’s ALR bill “have little or nothing to do with exclusions” of farmland from the ALR.

That bill, which made exclusions easier in 90 per cent of the ALR (“Zone 2”), is now law. It’s no longer a current focus, in con-trast to the survey about ALR regulations, which is open till August 22. The simple reason the survey doesn’t mention the bill or ALR exclusions is that they’re another matter.

It’s also illogical for Fletcher to imply that those who wanted consultation on the previous matter would oppose the current

consultation. If anything, many want more of it.

To top off confusion with bad taste, Fletcher mocks MLA Lana Popham’s photo and bizarrely ties a survey question to Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward, which cost millions of lives.

Breaking Barriers

Gwynne Dyer

TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2014

Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s re-ally known.

As Black Press and our local publica-tion the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its opera-tion, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus manage-ment back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.

Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water dis-charge, and was waiting for B.C. govern-ment approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit is-sued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a politi-cal corruption story).

The reason water release has been al-lowed is that in the absence of acid-pro-ducing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ rou-

tine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been con-firmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the imme-diate spill area have been cleared for human consumption.

For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum,

now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-pro-duced toxic metal pollution drained from the aban-doned mine into Howe Sound for decades.

Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remedia-tion may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” re-sults to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken.

On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” con-trary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.

It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine

management found ways to extend oper-ation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.

It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can deter-mine the cause of the breach, which oc-curred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed.

TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find. Tourism operators are plead-ing with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors.

Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region.

No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty.

From pond to podiumThompson scores bronze at National Wakeboard Championships

Cranbrook’s Colden Thompson (right) stands alongside Erik Schroeder (middle) and Brayden Beswick (left) after finishing third in junior men’s competition at the Canadian National Wakeboard Championships in Bala, Ont.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Colden Thompson made a big splash at the 2014 Canadian National Wakeboard Champion-ships in Bala, Ont. this past weekend, returning home with a bronze medal in junior men’s competition.

“It was a lot of hard work and a lot of riding to get to the finals,” Thompson said Mon-day afternoon. “I’ve done a lot of hard work, so it feels good [to bring home a medal].”

The 17-year-old Thompson took the tough route to the finals after failing to advance following his first quali-fying ride. From there, he needed a strong showing in his last-chance quali-fying ride, which brought him back to the semi-fi-

nals. Another quality run in the semi-finals sent the Cranbrook native to the finals.

Thompson scored a ride of 64.33 in his final run. It was his best ride of the weekend and landed him third in the junior men’s category (age 14 to 17) behind Erik Schroeder (85.67) and Brayden Beswick (73.33).

This was Thompson’s first trip to the Canadian National Wakeboard Championships, having only been competing for one year. The hardware further pads the resume of the rising young wake-boarder, as he continues to establish himself as a promising water sports athlete.

Last year, Thompson captured a first-place finish in the Outlaw Di-

vision at the 2013 Water-ski and Wakeboard As-sociation of Alberta (WSWA) Provincial Championships. The win was his first major accomplishment in or-ganized competition.

This weekend, Thompson returns to the WSWA Provincial Championships at Alix Lake, Alta. — approxi-mately 55 km northeast of Red Deer — where he will look to ride a wave of momentum from his strong showing in Bala.

The young wake-boarder wished to ex-tend his thanks to those supporting him through his competitions.

Thompson will spend this week preparing for the provincial champi-onship by focusing on perfecting the ride he utilized at nationals.

Redblacks release WR Jacksonc anadian Press

OTTAWA — The Ot-tawa Redblacks have re-leased veteran wide re-ceiver Paris Jackson.

The former CFL West all star had just six re-ceptions for 34 yards over eight games with Ottawa this season.

Prior to signing with the Redblacks in March, the Vancouver native spent 11 seasons with B.C and helped the Lions win two Grey Cups (2006, 2011).

He was a division all-

star in 2008, when he had 1,180 receiving yards on 76 receptions. He had his second straight 1,000-yard cam-paign in 2009 with 1,042 yards in 17 games.

In later seasons he was reduced to a back-up role with the Lions before being released by the team in February.

The Redblacks also released international wide receiver Tim May-pray and international defensive back Seth Wil-liams.

Cornish ready to return for Stampsc anadian Press

CALGARY — Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish says he’s ready to play again.

The CFL’s most valu-able player and leading rusher last season has been out of the lineup with concussion symp-

toms since the season opener.

Stampeder head coach John Hufnagel ex-pects Cornish to be back to full practice with the team Wednesday.

Cornish intends to play Sunday in Ottawa against the Redblacks.

Blackhawks sign Michael Leighton

associaTed PressCHICAGO — The

Chicago Blackhawks have signed goaltender Michael Leighton to a one-year contract.

The 33-year-old pro-vides organizational depth behind Corey Crawford and Antti Raanta.

Barring injury, he could spend much of the year with Chicago’s AHL affiliate in Rockford.

Leighton was drafted by Chicago in the sixth

round of the 1999 draft and made his NHL debut with the Black-hawks in January 2003.

He has a 35-41-14 re-cord with a 2.97 goals-against average in parts of eight seasons with Chicago, Nashville, Phil-adelphia and Carolina.

Leighton was in goal for Philadelphia when Patrick Kane scored in overtime in Game 6 of the 2010 Stanley Cup fi-nals, giving the Black-hawks the title.

The Cranbrook Can-nons came out on top at the 3rd Annual Jen Hickling Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament last weekend.

The tournament saw eight teams face off at the Tie Lake ball dia-mond in Jaffray from Aug. 9 to 10.

The annual tourna-ment, organized in ded-

ication to Fernie local Jen Hickling who passed away to an aggressive form of cancer two years ago, was moved to Jaf-fray after a series of mis-communication be-tween council and the organizers of the event.

Despite that initial disappointment, orga-nizer Shi-ann Martin said that ultimately, “the tournament was awe-some and everything

went really well.”Raffle tickets and

50/50 draws added to the tournament’s activi-ties.

In honour of Hick-ling, the event also raised funds to help support cancer patients currently going through treatment, including Tammy Stratton, Carm-er Smith and the Fernie Friends for Friends can-cer charity.

c anadian Press

TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed first-round draft pick William Nylander to a three-year entry level contract.

The forward was se-lected eighth overall by Toronto at the NHL draft in June.

The 18-year-old Nylander had one goal, six assists, seven points and six penalty minutes in 22 games with MODO of the Swedish Hockey League in 2013-14.

He also played 18 games for Rogle and 17 games for Sodertalje in Sweden’s second divi-sion, posting eight

points (four goals, four assists) and 19 points (11 goals, eight assists) for each club, respec-tively.

Nylander, a five-foot-11, 170-pound for-ward, was selected as the best forward at the 2014 Under-18 World Cham-pionship in Finland after leading all players in as-sists (10) and points (16) in seven games. Sweden finished fourth in the tournament.

Nylander, who was born in Calgary, is the son of Michael Nyland-er, who played for seven teams during a 920-game, 15-season NHL career.

Dear Annie: My 5-year-old son has been claiming to see the paranormal. I’m sure part of it is just his imagination. But some-times he describes in great detail people and even pets who have died. He mainly claims to see a cousin he never met, but whom he can describe accurately. Sometimes, he will sit up in bed and start talking to a wall, say-ing he is talking to his cousin. Now he says he can see someone else. He isn’t sure who it is, but it frightens him. My son won’t even walk past the bedroom door without me or another adult with him and the bedroom light on. We don’t let him watch scary movies or anything like that. Is it possible that he is really seeing these things? I’ve mentioned it to a few different ministers who just laughed it off and said there is no such thing as the paranormal. Any advice would be appreciat-ed. -- A Fan of Your Work Dear Fan: The fact that your son doesn’t watch scary movies does not mean he hasn’t been exposed to ads for them or comments from friends. Nonetheless, our concern is not that your son is making it up. Sometimes manifestations of the paranormal can indi-cate a medical problem. Please take him to his doctor for a complete checkup, including a neurological exam. Dear Annie: A couple in our social circle have developed a disgusting habit in recent years, and no one knows how to approach them about it. These people blow their noses at the dinner table every time they sit down and then return their dirty tissues to their pockets and carry on eating. This is not just a gentle dab at the end of the nose. It’s a full-blown empty-the-sinus kind of thing. These people are well educated with good jobs. I’m sure they would be devastated if we said something, but it has reached the point where we no longer accept dinner invita-tions if we know they will be there, because this nose blowing turns our stomachs. We can’t understand how no one in their family has mentioned it to them. Is this a social faux pas, or are we too picky? -- Disgusted Dear Disgusted: It is definitely a social faux pas to blow one’s nose at the dinner table. One can wipe a sniffle, but blasting more than that should be done in the privacy of the bathroom. Should it happen again in your presence, simply say, “My goodness, Horace! Your allergies must be getting worse. You’d make all of us more comfortable if you used the powder room to take care of that.” The two of them may be mildly miffed, but making people sick at the dinner table is not appropriate. Dear Annie: I would like to contribute to the responses to “Frustrated with Noise,” who complained about young children in church. When my sons were small, they were a wild bunch running down the aisles of our syna-gogue. Our rabbi never reprimanded them. If a baby cried during services, the rabbi would always ask the parents not to remove the child. One day he explained: He was a Holocaust survivor. The first year after he was liberat-ed from the concentration camp, there were no children at services. They had all been murdered. After a year or so, people started to have children again. Babies were born. At the first service with children in attendance, there was the sound of babies crying. It was such a joyful sound that our rabbi never again wanted to preside over a service with-out the sound of children. -- Agoura Hills, Calif.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website

1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixty-two percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

NEWS/FEaturESdaily townsman / daily bulletin

By Blair Qualey

For those who’ve never been, the Vancouver International Auto Show, held every March at the Vancouver Convention Centre, is the largest event of its kind in Western Canada. The show appeals to a wide range of drivers, from the classic

car enthusiast to the automotive technology geek and everyone in between. As some of you may know, the New Car Dealers Association of BC owns the Vancouver International Auto Show. We make it our mission to ensure that every event features something for everyone and includes the latest makes, models and technology the industry has to offer. We also incorporate classic cars into the program and events that promote eco-friendly vehicles. It’s not surprising that the event is highly anticipated each year by the industry, everyday

drivers, and auto enthusiasts alike. To ensure future shows continue to entertain, impress and inform our guests, we’re excited that we’ve hired a new show management team. They include three of the top auto industry and event experts in the country: Jason Heard, Phil Heard and Keith Morgan. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Heards – Jason is one of Canada’s most dynamic and experienced show managers. That’s why he’s been tapped for the role as manager of the Vancouver International Auto Show. His father, Phil, a well-known businessman and event expert, is also coming on board as a senior consultant. Jason and Phil are promising “a new level of world-class programming and content” for guests at next year’s event. I have no doubt they will wow us in 2015, and at future shows. Jason and Phil already produce the Vancouver

Collector Car Show and Auction and have led some of BC’s top events, including the Molson Indy, IDSwest, World Urban Forum and the Vancouver International Boat Show. Keith Morgan is a highly respected and innovative Canadian auto journalist, who will serve as a specialty content consultant at next year’s show. I’m very much looking forward to what Keith comes up with as he incorporates all of the exciting new options now available across both traditional and social media. The addition of these three auto industry experts, not to mention their incredible depth and breadth of event management experience, will significantly enhance the guest experience at the show, which is already a major event. It’s not only the most important event for the automotive industry in British Columbia, but also the largest trade and consumer show in Western Canada. More than 84,500 people came through the

doors at the 2014 show held March 25-30, a five-per-cent increase over 2013. There were more than 400 vehicles from 30 companies around the world on display. We’re expecting the 2015 event, which takes place March 24-29, to be even bigger. If you’ve never been to the show, I highly recommend you check it out. For those of you who have been in the past, be sure to come back again next year for what promises to be another amazing showcase of the best the auto industry has to offer. I look forward to seeing you there! For more information on the Vancouver International Auto Show, please visit: www.VancouverInternationalAutoShow.com.

Part 2 of 2Dear Unsettled Mother

and Wife:We will now answer the

rest of your questions from the last column.

Everyone is born with a guardian angel; you have 8 angels and 7 guides around you at this time. These num-bers of guides and angels can change accordingly to what is happening in your life.

On a personal note you have just as much control over your child as your hus-band does. If you want to set up a routine for him then you do so. If your child does not comply with what you are asking him to do then you put him in his room for a time out. Every action has a consequence and he needs to learn this before he goes into the real world.

If your husband objects to the way you are disciplining the child or the routine you have set up for the child then

sit down and talk to him about it. This means you sit down and discuss your child. This does not mean you sit down and act like a victim because of what you and he have going on.

This means you ask your husband what he feels is wrong with the routine you have set up or your be-haviour towards your child or whatever.

If your husband has good points of view on how it can be revised then accept them and implement them into the routine for the child.

If he does not have solid advice and he wants to bully you then you get up and walk away from the table and tell him the conversation is over until he can talk like a re-sponsible parent.

It’s called caring about your child and forgetting what your husband thinks about you.

Again, stop being a victim

around your husband and start acting like a mom who wants to help her child.

We have all made mis-takes in our lives and if you have shown him that you are truly sorry for what you have done and he still does not forgive you; well then that’s his problem. It only becomes your problem if you have not admitted and shown retribu-tion for the mistake you have made in your marriage.

The important issue at this time for yourself is have you forgiven yourself for the mistake you had made in your marriage? We think not. Because if you had you would have set your bound-aries with you and your hus-

band and your child a long time ago.

We also suggest you ap-proach your husband and ask him to go to counselling with you to sort out the is-sues you have with each other.

We feel your child is being used as a tool that you both use against each other. To put it bluntly if you both want to go and thrash it out in the back of the woodpile then do it and get it over with. Don’t do it in front of the child. He is very anxious and high-strung and feels the tension between the two of you.

Again, to put it bluntly the kid is living in a war zone with the two of you, that’s why he is anxious. If one or both of you do not want to seek counselling and get some help for your marriage; then you know what you need to do don’t you.

We all at some time in our

lives use our children sub-consciously for our own self-ish reasons or fears. We must as adults admit to what we have done and change our way of behaviour so our chil-dren do not become victims as well.

Maybe that’s what they mean when they say a child has the “sins of the father.” Hmmm, I’ve always won-dered about that phrase.

You have also stated that you have so many questions about your role as a mom and a wife and even being a friend to anyone. What spe-cific questions would you like my guides to answer for you in regards to being a mom or a wife and being a good friend? You can email me again with these ques-tions if you wish.

You also asked if your life will get easier or if your child is going to be a handful until he finishes school? Honey, children are a handful till the

day you die. That’s why God invented schools, summer camps and day cares. That’s why when they fly the nest a lot of couples make their child’s room into an exercise room, or size down their house and move to Florida. Okay ,just kidding — not.

Don’t forget you were a human being with your own identity before you were a mom.

Always, grow and seek out who you are and what you want in your life. This child will grow up and now so must you.

AssociAted PressLONDON — Scotland’s

pro-independence leader is insisting his campaign is headed for victory — one month before the historic Sept. 18 referendum.

First Minister Alex Sal-mond told The Associated Press on Monday that those seeking independence have always been the underdogs.

But Salmond seemed buoyant after new polls sug-gest that Scotland’s voters are only narrowly divided on whether to leave the United

Kingdom. However, polls consistently show those fa-vouring union in the lead.

He said the day after the vote Scots won’t ``wake up and find there are three taps in every house - whisky, oil and water.’’ But he added that independence activists can build a more prosperous and just society.

Salmond has come under fire for economic argu-ments, particularly the ques-tion of which currency an independent Scotland would use.

CALGARY — For the big-gest pay hikes in Canada, look no further than the oil-patch.

The energy sector con-tinues to lead the country in both actual and projected salary increases, according to survey released Monday by global consulting firm Mercer.

The average base salary increase across the country is expected to be three per cent next year, the same as in 2014.

But in the energy sector,

the pay bump is forecast at 3.7 per cent in 2015 after an actual 3.9 per cent increase this year.

Mercer has conducted its Canada Compensation Planning Survey for more than two decades, compil-ing responses from nearly 700 organizations across Canada.

For the past five years, the trends have been stable both at a national level and amongst different indus-tries, Mercer’s Allison Grif-fiths said in an interview.

“Companies just, in gen-

eral, are feeling more stable and more confident about their outlooks,’’ she said.

When the energy sector is removed from the mix, the national average pro-jected salary increase drops to 2.9 per cent. That effect is more pronounced in ener-gy-rich Alberta and Sas-katchewan.

On the other end of the spectrum, the transporta-tion, equipment, consumer goods and retail/wholesale industries are expected to see the smallest salary in-creases at around 2.6 or 2.7

per cent.``All different factors

come into play here when we’re talking about salary increases. It’s the econo-my... or who are the big companies within the re-gion and what are they doing? Cost of living comes into it, competition for la-bour,’’ said Griffiths.

“Retail in general is typi-cally one of the industries that their profits and their margins are very tight, so they’re typically very con-servative with their salary increases.’’
