Have a safe JulyFest weekend

CPL. CHRIS NE WELFor the Bulletin

Kimberley RCMP recognize that Julyfest is a major event and there are a lot of fun activities to participate in, but also remind people to be safe and make wise

choices. Over the years police

have noted that persons attending the events are well behaved and out to have fun. But there is often a few who con-sume a bit too much al-cohol and cause the po-lice or security to inter-vene.

With mediation failing; work

stoppage looms

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

The City of Kimberley has put out a press re-lease in response to one from the United Steel-workers Local I-450 on Tuesday, which an-nounced that two days of mediation with a La-bour Relations Board mediator had failed.

The City, in its press release, issued by City CAO Scott Sommerville, said it will be applying to have some services des-ignated essential during a potential labour dis-pute. If the Labour Rela-tions Board designates them as essential, that means the City is re-quired to provide them and the Union is re-quired to allow its mem-bers to perform those services during a lockout or strike.

Kimberley native Jared du Toit is set to make his PGA Tour debut next week after being granted a tournament exemption into the 107th RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont.

“When I heard that, I was very excited to say the least,” du Toit said over the phone from San Francisco on Wednes-day. “I just thought back to my junior golf days and all that. It kind of put everything in perspective. It’s pretty cool I get to play with the big boys now. It’s going to be

fun.“It is going to be a very unique experi-

ence and my first PGA Tour event, so I’m just excited to see how I level out with the big boys.”

Golf Canada announced the tourna-ment exemptions Tuesday afternoon.

Du Toit will be surrounded by a host of well-known PGA professionals, includ-ing Jason Day — the RBC Canadian Open’s defending champion and top-ranked golfer in the world.

This will be du Toit’s first PGA Tour event and second professional event after he participated in the SIGA Dakota

Dunes Open. The Arizona State University Sun Dev-

ils’ golf star is off to a fantastic start this summer, having already won the Glencoe Invitational (Calgary) after landing a third-place finish at the Monroe Invita-tional (Pittsford, N.Y.).

Pat Fletcher was the last Canadian to win the RBC Canadian Open back in 1954.

Other notable Canadians set to partic-ipate at the 2016 RBC Canadian Open include David Hearn, Graham DeLaet, Adam Hadwin and Mike Weir.

Preparations underway for Cranbrook Multicultural FestivalTRE VOR CR AWLEY

The Cranbrook Mul-ticultural Festival gear-ing up for another show-case of Cranbrook’s di-versity and is putting out the call for any interest-ed groups or nationali-ties to get in touch with the organizers.

So far, there are 16 groups representing dif-ferent countries or

unique regions within countries that include: Canada, Ktunaxa, Metis, China, Philippines, Japan, South Africa, India, Great Britain, Ser-bia, Russia, Slovenia, Dominican Republic, Syria, Romania and In-donesia.

A few other groups have been in contact with organizers as well,

which include Germa-ny, French Canada, Korea and The Nether-lands.

Taking over Rotary Park on August 19 and 20th, the Cranbrook Multicultural Festival will include booths fea-turing each individual culture along with some authentic food and per-formances.

This year, the festival will run for two days; on Friday evening there will be a traditional textile ex-hibition while there will be booths and plenty of activities for everyone from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

“We’ve invited an art-ist from Vancouver, she’s Indonesian and she’s going to bring in a tradi-tional Indonesian fabric and she’s going to do a presentation on Indone-sia,” said Coco Seitz, an organizer with the festi-

val. “Also, we’re going to have a workshop making Batik…this is a material, a painting of fabric and they use the fabric for clothing. It’s made from wax and cotton fabric.”

If there are any unrep-resented cultures or na-

tionalities that wish to be involved, contact Seitz at 250-581-0678. Seitz also encourages any interest-ed food vendors or arti-sans who wish to be a part of the festival are also encouraged to con-tact her.

Kimberley resident Orin Hoglund has some questions about 911 service in the area, after an incident last week — the main question being why are we paying for it if they aren’t going to re-spond?

Hoglund works at the Elko sawmill and he says last Tuesday night (July 5, 2016) he was headed to work from Baynes Lake, where he was staying with his daughter.

“I turned on to Hwy 3 and in the distance I see a truck with its four-way flashers on. I slowed down and I see another truck on a side road and its fully engulfed in flames — at least six feet high.”

Hoglund says he drove past the vehicles slowly but didn’t stop at first because there was someone there.

“Then I changed my mind and pulled over and called 911 and told them what I saw. They asked me

O. HOGLUND PHOTO

Orin Hoglund doesn’t understand why 911 didn’t dispatch fire fighters to this vehicle fire near the Elko sawmill.

Why no 911 response? resident asks

the location, I said about five kilometres from Elko. I didn’t know which fire de-partment was closer, Elko or Baynes Lake but I said probably Elko. They asked me if I knew the name of the

road. I wasn’t sure. I know the local name for it. She (911 opera-tor) said is there po-tential for a forest fire? I said there are flames six feet high, you tell me.”

After hanging up,

Hoglund went on to work. He said he knew someone at the mill who belongs to the Elko fire department so he called him and told him about the truck and the 911 call.

During his shift, at

coffee break, Hoglund decided to drive back to the site of the burn-ing vehicle.

“I saw the fire was out and there was no one around. About a half hour later at the mill, I saw the guy

from the Elko fire de-partment and I asked if he went to the fire. He said no so he drove down to have a look. When he came back he said it looked like nobody fought the fire. The ground wasn’t wet, there was no foam. There were still hot spots on the truck. He phoned the Elko fire department and found out later that there was no call.”

Hoglund believes that the vehicle fire could have turned into a much larger problem and he doesn’t understand why no fire depart-ment was called.

“Is there a price on safety? Why don’t they have a local dis-patcher for the Koote-nays who would at least know the loca-tion? When I found out they didn’t fight this fire, I thought why do we pay for 911 when they don’t even respond?”

The Bulletin put that question to Travis Abbey, Emergency Services Coordinator, Regional District of

East Kootenay.“A phone call to

911 results in the call-er being asked “Fire, Ambulance or Police”. “Ambulance” will get you to BC Ambulance for them to be dis-patched, the same with “RCMP”. In re-gards to “fire”, the area in question didn’t reside in a for-mal Fire Protection Area, so no response would be provided. The exception to that is if the fire happens to be spreading into the forested lands, then BC Wildfire would be dispatched through the “Fire” side of 911 to keep the fire from spreading further, but not to ex-tinguish the vehicle itself. If there is an in-dication of spread, BCWildfire would cer-tainly be notified and their dispatch would decide whether to send someone out or not. If it’s wet, pour-ing rain or outside of a time where there is any wildfire threat, they would likely not attend either.”

Kimberley Kaleidoscope Arts & Culture Festival received a 3-year grant from the Kimberley Alpine Resort Community Summit Fund. A cheque was handed over by Kimberley Alpine Resort’s manager Ted Funston to Kimberley Arts Council’s president and Kimberley Kaleidoscope committee chair Mike Redfern. The Kimberley Kaleidoscope committee is very happy to receive this donation that will help further their cause and in turn, aid in helping to enhance the local community.

services that might be deemed essential would be Water and Wastewa-ter Treatment, as well as RCMP Clerical.

Mayor Don McCor-mick said that in addi-tion snow removal ser-vices would be included in the request.

The press release also for the first time of-fered some insight into the negotiations so far.

“There are many is-sues with the current job evaluation system, which has been in place since 2009,” it said.

“Council’s mandate for the negotiating team is to provide long-term viability for the City, re-versing a trend of ev-er-increasing labour costs and declining in-vestment in City infra-structure.

“The City remains committed to negotiat-ing a mutually accept-able agreement that strikes a balance be-tween our taxpayers’ ability to pay and a fair offer to our valued workforce.”

Jeff Bromley from the Steelworkers stated in Tuesday’s press release that the main factors for

the union were the new hours of work language; training language for the operations yard; los-ing earned vacation and the elimination of the job evaluation system.

“The City’s manage-ment team, Mayor and Council are “demand-ing” that the unionized staff of Kimberley take concessions as a way to provide long-term via-bility. But nowhere do they mention the deci-sions they have made that our members have had no control over and that has cost thousands of dollars to the taxpay-ers of Kimberley. Now our members, the hard-working employ-ees of the City of Kim-berley are forced to pay the price,” the latest USW press release says.

“We withdrew hours of work,” Sommerville says. “We are not rolling back wages. We don’t want to take existing special vacations away, we were prepared to move on that. We are still open to bargaining. A couple of little con-cessions and we’ve got a deal.”

“The USW Bargain-ing Committee remains committed to stand


In the most recent press release from the USW Local 1-405, represent-ing union employees at the City of Kimberley, were questions around the reopening of the Aquatic Centre and around the loss of the job evalua-tion software.

“The Aquatic Center is ready to re-open and generate revenue for the City, however the City has chosen not to open the facility at this time,” said the press release, issued on Wednes-day, July 13.

City CAO Scott Sommerville said that the major repairs to the pool are complete.

“Dave Clark (Manager of Parks, Recreation and Facilities) just re-turned from vacation Monday. The insurance adjuster told him the pool is good to go. But there are still some safety issues brought up by employ-ees at the June Parks and Rec meet-ing. Once those are done and the en-gineer gives the green light then we have to make a decision. Will we open? With imminent job action, the pool requires monitoring. No one on the management team has the exper-tise to balance the pool.”

As for the job evaluation software,

the USW press release says “The City’s assertion that program isn’t working for them is curious, because they agreed to the implementation of the program in 2006 and enshrined it in the collective agreement in 2009. The fact remains that they are the ones that “lost” the software and wiped clean the laptop with all the materials to implement the system.”

Was the software lost? Yes, says Sommerville, it was, and the union has known it was lost for quite some time.

“During the transition in IT and HR the laptop with the software pro-gram was repurposed unbeknown to us. We talked to the union about it right away. They’ve known for months. The union was going to track down a copy of the software. It was provided to us Monday this week. But the access codes are not working.

“It’s embarrassing that it hap-pened. But what is the point of wiping it deliberately when another copy is available?

“Right now the access to the sys-tem doesn’t work so we can’t use the system to cost a new contract.

“Philosophically we are opposed to the system but we do need access to it to do research on whether it’s a deal breaker or not.”

ready to negotiate a fair collective agreement, however it’s our belief that the offers – or rath-er, concessions, are any-thing but fair,” said Bromley. “They want partners in trying to solve this problem, but do not want to treat us like one.”

The issues as pre-sented in press releases from the City and the Steelworkers

WAGES

City Position“The City has offered

a 4 per cent increase over 4 years to existing wages (based upon the current job evaluation system). The Union has demanded 3.5 per cent per year for the next three years. In order to reflect competitive mar-ket realities and to at-tract and retain employ-ees, the City has offered additional wage in-creases to three posi-tions key to driving reve-nues from new con-struction and to plan-ning infrastructure re-newal.

Union PositionThe Union has never

“demanded” anything other that keeping what is already contained in the collective agree-ment. The Union’s opening proposal was 3.5 per cent but money has never been a stum-bling block to getting a fair deal and the em-ployer knows that. Not once has the topic of wages been mentioned as a hurdle to a new agreement. Not once during mediation was it even discussed.

SPECIAL VACATION

From the UnionCurrently the regular

employees of the City of Kimberley that have completed five years of service are eligible for this benefit. However, regular employees of the Aquatic Center do not enjoy this benefit. The last position of the City in mediation was to “grandfather” current

employees that receive special vacation. The Union countered to agree to that proposal however to adjust it to cover all current em-ployees including Aquatic Center employ-ees, the City did not agree.

From the City“Despite the Union’s

assertion that the em-ployer did not change their position through the mediation process, the City withdrew their demand for new hours of work and was also willing to “grandfather” special vacation bene-fits, so that workers cur-rently entitled to this benefit will not lose any vacation.

“The special vaca-tion benefit consists of an extra 15 days of vaca-tion for every five years of service, on top of the annual vacation entitle-ments. Special vacation was first bargained into the contract in 1981, when the City was com-peting with Cominco for workers. Extending this benefit to new workers is not financially sus-tainable for the City in the long-term.

“The Union is also demanding that both the special vacation and job evaluation system be extended to the Aquatic Centre staff. This will further in-crease the cost of oper-ating the Aquatic Cen-ter, which is contrary to council’s recent efforts to reduce operational costs. $700,761 of the $957,358 this year’s Aquatic Centre (73%) budget is related to wages and benefits.

JOB EVALUATION

Just a bit of back-ground on the job eval-uation system; Som-merville explains that it is a specialized software system developed by the Steelworkers.

“Basically there is a pot of money for union-ized workers,” he said. “The program scores all positions with 17 factors and rates them between

10 and 50. Management provides a score and so does the Union. Those scores are averaged. The program scores and compares positions. Some will score higher, others lower. Eventually it spits out a wage code and develops a wage for each department and wage code. There’s a multiplier for inside workers.”

City Sommerville says

the mandate given the city bargaining commit-tee from Council was to get rid of the job evalua-tion system.

“One of the issues that has arisen with this job evaluation system is that departments are competing with each other over a finite amount of wage in-creases, with some de-

partments better repre-sented than others. Some departments have received wages that are out of touch with comparisons with wages in similar-sized municipalities, says the City press release.

Mayor Don McCor-mick says that this can create a problem.

“Certain jobs are way under the market rate and we don’t have the ability to pay more. The job evaluation program is responsible for the er-ratic comparison to market rate. The system compares jobs internal-ly with no regard to market rate.”

Union The City’s assertion

that program isn’t work-ing for them is curious, because they agreed to the implementation of

the program in 2006 and enshrined it in the collective agreement in 2009. The fact remains that they are the ones that “lost” the software and wiped clean the laptop with all the ma-terials to implement the system. Prior to the cur-rent evaluation system, there was a predecessor evaluation system. There’s always been an evaluation system. However, when it is convenient for the City, they have no problem going outside the col-lective agreement and awarding a position a 18 per cent raise without blinking an eye. They want to do the same to two other positions. How is that a cost-effec-tive measure?”

TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Restoration work continues out at the St. Eugene Mission church, which is get-ting an exterior facelift before shifting to more work in the interior of the building.

The outside work, which includes struc-tural components with the steeple and roof systems, a roof re-placement, repairing the wooden siding and facade, is expected to be completed by the end of the summer.

The building, con-structed in the late 1800s, features a tall steeple, stained glass windows, buttresses at each corner and cut shingles as well as priceless artwork and statutes inside the building. In fact, the stained glass windows were imported from Italy and are still in their original condi-tion.

Built by local Aq’am band members, the in-terior was pieced to-gether using a tongue and groove methodol-ogy, opening for wor-ship on Palm Sunday in 1898.

The building is one of the few remaining Victorian-era wooden churches in the prov-

PHOTO SUBMITTED

The historic church was built in the 1800s.

Restoration work continues at St. Eugene Church

ince.In a statement by

band elders developed in 2008, the church represents significant heritage value.

“The church sym-bolizes the spiritual values of the past and illustrates the impor-tance of religion in the late 19th century com-munity,” reads the

statement. “The church represents the spiritual evolution of the com-munity and it is a sym-bol of the imposition of the European culture onto the area.

“The site has a his-tory of 10,000 years of settlement. There is a continuous history of this site being a place of gathering and brining

people together from around the region to celebrate and congre-gate. It is a traditional ceremonial gathering place. The size of the church reflects the size of the community at the time the church was built. The church is part of the legacy of the community and it con-tinues to be valued as a

place for the celebra-tion and honouring of all the significant events of life.”

Restoration work on the church began in 2011, as the build-ing was lifted, under-pinned and given a new foundation. MDG Contracting is the contractor on the cur-rent project and is uti-lizing local subcon-tractors to complete the various aspects of the restoration.

From Page 1Spending time in jail or at-

tending court probably isn’t in anybody’s plan, but it happens. Please drink responsibly and make the right decisions early on.

One of the most common of-fences police encounter over the weekend is, consuming alcohol in public. The consumption of alco-

hol must be in a designated area, licensed premises or private prop-erty. The fine for consuming alco-hol in public is $230. The most heard excuse; it’s Julyfest, it is but Liquor laws still apply.

Police also note a huge in-crease in after parties. Although residents are very tolerant of noise over the weekend, please be cour-

teous to your neighbors. The noise bylaw is in effect, but the city has granted Julyfest organizers an ex-emption Friday and Saturday night for the event only.

Extra officers including Traffic Services have been brought in to assist the Kimberley Detachment. Police want everybody to have a safe, enjoyable weekend.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the dif-ference between bounded–set groups and centre–set movements.

A bounded–set group is concerned with setting and keeping strict boundaries: who’s in and who’s out. What this has meant for the church is that many church-es make sure you believe the right things, behave the right way, and then you can belong.

On the other hand, a centre–set move-ment focusses on the relation of people in the group to the centre. For the church this begins with the deep understanding that we belong from the get–go, and what is important is how we relate with the centre who is Jesus.

I believe that the congre-gation I serve, Christ Church Anglican, is such an open, accepting and welcoming congregation. We invite peo-ple to come with their doubts and questions. We welcome people who are trying to figure things out for them-selves. We talk and listen together as we seek to live more faithfully as followers of Jesus.

We don’t require people to believe the right things. It’s okay with us to struggle with questions of faith. It’s perfectly fine to have doubts. It’s acceptable to wonder. In fact, we encourage that kind of question-ing. We want to be together in community, trying to work out together what a relation-ship with God looks like.

For us, it’s a matter of trying to “moti-vate by acceptance”, which is Brian McLar-en’s felicitous phrase. We try to practice a radical hospitality which welcomes every-one. We want to foster a church communi-ty where Christians and not–yet–Chris-tians can come together. We strive to culti-vate an atmosphere in which believers and seekers and questioners and people who want to be in love with God, but aren’t quite sure about all the baggage that comes along with “church” all feel welcome and

treasured.Why? Because the church community I

serve seems to understand that for many people today, belonging must precede be-lieving.

It seems to us that this was Jesus’ way of doing things. Contrary to what some peo-ple believe and some churches preach, Jesus didn’t tell people that if they didn’t believe in him, they would go to hell. Rath-er, he invited everyone to join him “on the way”. Jesus invites us to “Follow me.” That’s it. Hang out with me. Walk with me. Travel through the world and your life with me.

God graciously invites us to be part of a community, to be part of a group of people who are growing in faith and learning what it means to live with each other with grace and compassion. Jesus calls us to be companions with one an-other on a journey. The gos-

pel encourages us to live together as we try to figure out what’s important in life.

In such a community, we recognize that none of us will ever “believe right”. We are growing … learning … changing together. We make mistakes, and that’s all right. We have doubts, and that’s ok. The important thing is to grow and learn and love. We journey together in this world as people who want to be faithful to God in all that we do.

This may seem obvious to many, but unfortunately it’s not so obvious to other Christians. Most of our present church de-nominations arose as a result of conflict and controversy. As a result, they tried to define carefully who was in and who was out. But when the controversies died, the fences remained standing, and churches thought they were called to tend the fences as carefully as possible. The result was an environment of control, which was rein-forced by what Brian McLaren calls “moti-vation by exclusion”.

These churches control carefully who is

in and who is out. Motivation by exclusion says, “We’re right and you’re wrong. If you want to belong, you have to be right. So, if you believe right, think right, speak right and act right, we’ll let you in.”

I would rather live another way. Instead of trying to exclude people and maintain fences, I would rather be more accepting of all God’s precious people. I want to be part of a community with such a passionate desire to be faithful to God, and which wants to share that with as many others as possible by being as open as possible. I would rather have people join us on this journey, to explore their own vision of faithful living. Some will decide that the way we live it out works for them. Wonder-ful. Others will decide it is not their way. That’s fine as well. You’ll still be our friends.

As I read the gospels, this was Jesus’ way. He was criticized for being a friend of sinners, for being a glutton and a drunk-ard, for not doing religion the way every-one else did it. Jesus befriended the outsid-ers — the Samaritans, the tax collectors, people who were just “wrong”. They didn’t “believe right, think right, speak right or act right”.

But faith isn’t just a head trip. Faith is not just a set of right beliefs, right doc-trines, right dogmas. Faith does not mean “thinking the right way” or “saying the right prayers” or “believing the right set of beliefs”.

Faith is a way of life. Faith is a journey of trust in God, and living in the world with hope. Faith has to do with how we live to-gether with our neighbours — all our neighbours in this world. Faith means to learn to live in a community, showing au-thentic love for others.

And I’m convinced that as we motivate by acceptance, others will recognize au-thentic love for what it is, and want to be part of a community that tries to live it out day by day.

This is not an article on South Sudan, which is just as well because the con-flicts there are almost fractal in their

complexity. The mini-war last weekend be-tween the forces of President Salva Kiir and Vice-President Riek Machar, which killed more than 270 people and saw tanks, artil-lery and helicopter gunships used in the capital, Juba, is part of a pattern that em-braces the whole country.

The four days of heavy fighting began on Friday, 8 July, with a disagreement be-tween the two men’s large forces of body-guards outside State House where they were meeting, and rapidly escalated to an all-out clash between all of Kiir’s and Machar’s troops in the cap-ital. Nobody was surprised, because the peace deal last August, which ended a two-year civil war that killed tens of thousands across the country, was never very secure.

After a shaky ceasefire was agreed, President Kiir said: “Making South Sudan glorious will only happen if we see our-selves as South Sudanese first rather than tribal or political groupings,” which is the sort of thing that leaders are obliged to say after a pointless clash like this. It’s true, too, but in South Sudan it is very hard to do.

Last weekend was the fifth anniversary of South Sudan’s independence from Sudan, but celebrations had already been cancelled before the shooting started be-cause the government couldn’t afford them. The country has some oil but virtu-ally no other exports, and was hard-hit by last year’s collapse in the oil price.

The real reason for its poverty, however, is war: the country that is now South Sudan has been at war for 42 of the past 60 years. British colonialists included it in what we now call Sudan for administrative conve-nience, but the dominant population in

the much bigger northern part was Muslim and Arabic-speaking, while the south was mostly Christian and culturally, ethnically and linguistically African.

The fighting began a year before Su-dan’s independence in 1956, with the southerners resisting the Sudanese gov-ernment’s attempts to Islamise and Ara-bise their part of the new country. That civil war lasted until 1971, and the second (1983-2005) was even longer. By the time South Sudan finally won its independence in 2011, it had long been a fully militarised society.

It didn’t take long after independence before the two biggest ethnic groups, the Dinka (led by President Salva Kiir) and the Nuer (led by Vice-President Riek Machar) were at each oth-er’s throats. Those are just two of South Sudan’s sixty

ethnic groups, each with its own language, culture and territory – and even within the two big ethnic groups, different sub-groups sometimes find themselves on opposite sides of the fighting.

One-fifth of South Sudan’s 12 million people are currently refugees within their country – the lucky ones in United Nations camps, but many hiding in swamps and badlands from local ethnic militias. Kiir and Machar are both brutal, untrustworthy men, and neither is fully in control of his own generals. And the outside organisa-tions that have poured foreign aid and peacekeeping troops into the country are losing patience.

US National Security Adviser Susan Rice said: “This senseless and inexcusable violence - undertaken by those who yet again are putting self-interest above the well-being of their country and people - puts at risk everything the South Sudanese people have aspired to over the past five

years.”Two Chinese peace-keeping soldiers

were killed in the most recent fighting, causing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to abandon his usual diplomatic caution. “Yet again, the leaders of South Sudan have failed their people,” he said. “Rarely has a country’s conduct squan-dered so much promise so quickly.”

The current ceasefire may not last: seven others were broken during the course of the recent civil war. South Sudan is unlikely to achieve a lasting peace settle-ment any time soon. But South Sudan is not representative of sub-Saharan Africa. Out of 48 countries south of the Sahara, only Somalia, Burundi, and South Sudan are currently suffering from large-scale in-ternal violence.

A dozen others have experienced simi-lar upheavals at some point in the past fif-teen years: sub-Saharan Africa is unique in the extravagant diversity of its population, with two hundred ethnic groups of more than half a million people and only three with over 15 million people. But mostly they manage to co-exist fairly peacefully, and over time broader national identities are being built over the post-colonial wreckage.

The image of a continent ravaged by war is an optical illusion perpetuated by the international media’s fixation with vio-lence. For example, during most of 2014-15 the headline news coming out of Eu-rope, as far as the rest of the world was concerned, was the war in Ukraine – al-though all of the continent’s other fifty countries were at peace.

South Sudan is desperately unfortunate in its history and its leaders, but it is no more typical of Africa than Ukraine is of Europe.

Delicious seafood! Delicious doughnuts! Delicious politics!

Let’s take a quick turn around this great country of ours before we look any further afield this week. Out on

the East Coast, Parks Canada is trying to deal with an influx of the invasive green crab in the Kejimkujik National Park’s Seaside region. The crabs are likely hitch-ing a ride to Canadian waters in the bilge water of ships arriving from other coun-tries. Now you may ask ar-en’t crabs good? Even deli-cious? However, these par-ticular crabs tend to rip up crucial eelgrass beds which provide habitat for lobster and halibut, also delicious.

So the crabs have to go and Parks Canada is offering tourists an opportunity to harvest as many green crabs as they want. Wow. Put me in a boat and tie a bib around my neck! I’m there!

Oh wait, there’s a catch. There’s always a catch, isn’t there?

The catch is that because the green crab is not a fish stock recognized in Can-ada — though it is a delicacy in Korea and Portugal — you can’t eat it. You can only harvest it for use as bait or compost. I’m taking my bib off.

Let’s stick with the seafood theme for a moment. Here’s an interesting one. Monks from the Great Enlightenment Buddhist Institute Society on PEI spent a day buying up live lobster from various locations around the island and then took them out to sea to release them in areas where they hoped there were no traps. Sort of a variation on catch and release.

The monks hope to ‘culti-vate compassion’ for all living creatures. I had briefly put my bib back on hoping that they were going to cultivate com-passion for a lobster starved creature such as myself, but removed it

upon finding out about the release.Meanwhile at the Baseball All Star

Game, the Canadian Tenors caused quite a stir when one rogue tenor (rogue tenors are the worst) decided to change the lyr-ics to the Canadian national anthem to address political issues. During his solo, Remigio Pereira held up a sign that said All Lives Matter, and changed the lyrics to ‘We’re all brothers and sisters. All lives matter to the great’. That’s some tortured syntax but even more tortured is Pereira,

who has been tossed from the Tenors. No more singing for you! Maybe now that he has time to spare he could head to the Maritimes and harvest some green crabs.

Or how about a doughnut? U.S. based Krispy Kreme is preparing to take another run at ‘the No. 1 dominant doughnut player in Canada’, Tim Hortons. They’ve tried before but failed. It’s a tough task in Canada to take down the mighty Tim. I look forward to a delicious battle. Bib back on.

South of the border, it’s also been an interesting week. Scuttlebutt had it that Donald Trump may pick Newt Gingrich as his Vice President choice. And really it makes perfect sense. Why shouldn’t the Donald have as his VP a man accused of various ethics violations during his politi-cal career, a man who diligently tried to impeach President Bill Clinton for adul-tery while committing adultery himself and who wants to build a Moon Colony? But now word is it will be Mike Pence, so Newt may have to retire to the moon.

Say isn’t the moon made of green cheese? This column has made me hun-gry. Newt! I want to move to your colony! I’ll bring the crab! And the doughnuts! You bring the sleaze! Er… cheese.

Du Toit to join nation’s best at RBC Canadian OpenKimberley native in hunt at Trans-Miss Championship, set to swing at prestigious PGA Tour event next week

COURTESY GLENCOE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

Kimberley native Jared du Toit, pictured during action at the 2016 Glencoe Invitational in Calgary, is off to the RBC Canadian Open — his first PGA Tour event.


Life is pretty peachy for Jared du Toit right now.

After receiving offi-cial confirmation on Tuesday that he was headed to the presti-gious RBC Canadian Open on a tournament exemption, the 21-year-old Kimberley amateur golf sensation celebrat-ed on Wednesday by fir-ing a jaw-dropping sev-en-under-par 63 during the second round of play at the 113th Trans-Miss Championship at The Olympic Club in San Francisco.

The big day in Cali-fornia took du Toit to eight under, giving him sole possession of sec-ond place through 36 holes of play at the 7,016-yard, par-70 track with 36 holes to go.

While the Arizona State Sun Devils’ star is focused on hunting down a title at The Olym-pic Club — a course he states is one of his favou-rites — he can’t help but eagerly anticipate next week’s RBC Canadian Open (July 18 to 24) at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont.

“When I heard that, I was very excited to say the least,” du Toit said Wednesday over the phone from San Fran-cisco following his

lights-out performance at The Olympic Club. “I just thought back to my junior golf days and all that. It kind of put every-thing in perspective. It’s pretty cool I get to play with the big boys now. It’s going to be fun.

“I don’t want to worry… If I just play solid Jared golf, I think it should take care of itself. It is going to be a very unique experience and my first PGA Tour event, so I’m just excited to see how I level out with the big boys.

“I’m sure the first time I see a guy like Jason Day warming up on the range beside me, it will kind of hit me a little more. But I’m just going to try to keep it feeling like a regular event, go out there, have fun and play some golf.”

The RBC Canadian Open is a PGA Tour event and the third-old-est national golf cham-pionship in the world, behind only The Open Championship and U.S. Open.

First played in 1904, it has seen a host of phe-nomenal names grace its greens, with Day having won the event in 2015 and others such as Jim Furyk, Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Arnold Palmer and Byron Nelson previously collecting titles as well.

It’s a big stage for a

kid from a small town in the East Kootenay, but du Toit isn’t letting any of that faze him as he continues his sky-high trajectory towards world golf stardom.

“The thing with golf is you can over prepare yourself,” du Toit said. “I found that out this year. I don’t really want to hype it up too much. I just want to go out and focus on playing my game, having fun and if I can do that, then I think I can look after my own scores, hopefully they take care of themselves and I get four rounds out there.”

Golf Canada an-

nounced du Toit’s ex-emption into the annual event via press release Tuesday, making him one of 12 Canadian golf-ers currently lined up to participate.

“We are excited to have these 12 deserving Canadians compete in the 107th playing of Canada’s National Men’s Open Champion-ship,” said Brent Mc-Laughlin, tournament director of the RBC Ca-nadian Open, in a Golf Canada news release. “The passion that these talented players have shown in representing Canada is a true inspira-tion to the country’s young golfers and we are proud to welcome them to the field for the RBC Canadian Open.”

Amongst the collec-tion of Canucks, notable names include top-ranked professionals David Hearn (75th in FedEx Cup standings; 127th in World Golf Rankings), Graham De-Laet (105th in FedEx Cup; 146th in WGR) and Adam Hadwin (89th in FedEx Cup; 182nd in WGR).

Mike Weir — the 2003 Masters champion and eight-time PGA Tour winner — will also be competing in his 25th RBC Canadian Open.

Du Toit, who is a member of the Canadi-an National Amateur

Squad, will be joined at the prestigious event by two of his teammates — Hugo Bernard of Mont St-Hilaire, Que., and Blair Hamilton of Burl-ington, Ont.

Outside of a long list of accomplished Cana-dian golfers, the field will also include Day — defending champion and the world’s top-ranked golfer — as well as PGA pros Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar, Furyk and Brandt Sned-eker, just to name a few.

To top it off, one of du Toit’s old Sun Devils’ teammates will head north of the border. Jon Rahm — who recently

turned pro after a long run as the world’s top-ranked amateur golfer — will also take part.

This will be du Toit’s second professional event of the summer. In June, he was granted a sponsor’s exemption into the SIGA Dakota Dunes Open — a PGA Tour Canada event — where he missed the cut by one stroke, finishing two-under par after two rounds of play.

“It was a really cool experience,” du Toit said. “Getting your first pro event is obviously a pret-ty important time in your golf career. It was defi-nitely exciting for me.

“From a personal learning standpoint — I didn’t play my best in Saskatchewan. To not play my best and still only miss the cut by one [stroke] was kind of nice to see because I know if I do play my best I can compete out there.

“From a preparation standpoint, I’ll be more comfortable… Prepar-ing for pro events is a lot different.”

For now, preparation for the RBC Canadian Open is on relative hold as du Toit has his eyes locked in with proceed-ings still on-going at the 113th Trans-Miss Championship, intent on holding off the field at The Olympic Club in San Francisco.

Through the third round of play Thursday, du Toit held a three-stroke lead over the competition.

As of press time Thursday, du Toit’s had fallen three strokes back of leader Will Zalatoris (five under) through 13 holes of the final round of the Trans-Miss Cham-pionship.

Du Toit is off to a fan-tastic start this summer, having won the 2016 Glencoe Invitational in Calgary, which followed hot on the heels of a third-place finish at the Monroe Invitational in Pittsford, N.Y.

The 2016 edition of the RBC Canadian Open is the 107th in tourna-ment history. The last time a Canadian won the national champion-ship was in 1954 when Pat Fletcher claimed the crown.

TAYLOR ROCC AFor years, Kimberley

native Scott Jacklin has played hockey under a variety of coaches, in a variety roles and in a va-riety of places.

Now, he’s returning home with a wealth of knowledge and a new program — Shiftd — to help other aspiring hockey players make the most of their indi-vidual abilities.

“We’re a video-anal-ysis company geared to-wards younger kids,” Jacklin said. “We have their parents videotape the games, they send [the footage] to us, we take stats from [within] the game and the stats

we take are a little bit different from normal stats.

“You have current stats and relevant stats. We take the relevant stats and bring them to life so that the kids can see their progress within the game.”

The 26-year-old Jack-lin is one of a team of professional hockey players involved in bringing Shiftd to life, joining Brandon Mash-inter (Chicago Black-hawks) and Mark Bar-berio (Montreal Cana-diens) amongst others.

On the ladies’ side of the puck, 2014 Canadi-an Olympic gold medal-list Jennifer Wakefield is

also a part of the Shiftd team, making for a well-rounded and bal-anced group of experi-enced experts.

Jacklin is set to host an information on Wednesday, July 20, at the Kimberley Civic Centre (6 p.m.) in an ef-fort to introduce East Kootenay minor hockey players to the benefits of Shiftd. Players interest-

ed in the program are simply encouraged to show up at the Civic Centre at 6 p.m.

Having graduated from the NCAA ranks, Jacklin just completed his rookie season of pro hockey in the ECHL, splitting time between the Elmira Jackals and Brampton Beast.

“I learned a lot, it’s a little bit of a different world than lots of peo-ple might think,” Jacklin said. “It’s not all roses. But I learned a lot and kind of played in a cou-ple different roles that I haven’t played in the past six years.

“Obviously, my goal is to make it to the next

level. Hopefully I can get an American League call up this year and try to show my worth up there, see what hap-pens. That’s my goal this year is to do well on the Coast [ECHL] and get called up at some point during the year.”

While he continues to chase his love for the game, intent on moving up within the pro world, Jacklin also knows he has to plan for a life when playing the game is no longer an option. It happens for everyone and will happen for him at some point. He just isn’t sure when.

It’s his combined love for the game, desire

to mentor tomorrow’s stars and an eye on his own future that helped bring Jacklin into the fold with Shiftd.

After reviewing foot-age and breaking down a player’s game, the ex-perts at Shiftd provide detailed analysis, com-

pletely backed with rele-vant statistics and notes. From there, an individ-ual player report will be compiled, including recommendations from the Shiftd professionals.

Championship (at Camosun College)


In sport, they say the only thing tougher than winning a champion-ship is to defend one.

With Wednesday’s release of the 2016-17 PACWEST volleyball schedule, the College of the Rockies Avalanche women’s squad knows exactly what lies ahead if they’re to chase down a second consecutive provincial crown.

The Pacific Western Athletic Association (PACWEST) unveiled the itinerary for its up-coming college volley-ball season Wednesday, with both the Lady Avs and men’s Avalanche squads slated to open the campaign on the road against the Ca-mosun College Char-gers on Oct. 13.

The 2015-16 PACWEST season went down in history for the women’s volleyball pro-gram at College of the Rockies, as the Lady Av-alanche embarked on a cinderella run to the conference title, claim-ing gold after entering the tournament as the No. 6 seed with a 9-15 mark through the regu-lar season.

Not only did the sixth-seeded Lady Avs take the crown, they did so by upsetting the Van-couver Island University Mariners — the tourna-ment’s top seed after an astounding 20-4 regular season run.

R e p r e s e n t i n g PACWEST as well as the East Kootenay at the

CCAA Women’s Volley-ball National Champi-onships, the Lady Avs put forth an admirable effort en route to finish-ing 1-2 at the tourna-ment.

On the men’s side of the net, the Avalanche enjoyed a bounce back year in 2015-16 going 9-15 and finishing fifth in regular season com-petition. A return to post-season play saw the men finish fourth at the 2016 PACWEST Championship in Ab-botsford after missing out on the big dance in 2014-15.

While both Ava-lanche squads will open

the season with consec-utive weekends on the road, the party comes back to Cranbrook on Friday, Oct. 28. Not only does a weekend with the Douglas College Royals serve as the home-opening dates on the schedule, Friday evening will see the Lady Avs raise a banner to the rafters at College of the Rockies, celebrat-ing their 2016 PACWEST championship.

Other notable dates on the schedule include an identification camp Aug. 13 and 14 at Park-land Middle School as the Avs’ home gymnasi-um at College of the

Rockies undergoes ren-ovations in preparation for the upcoming sea-son.

From there, both Ava-lanche clubs will wel-come the Ambrose Col-lege Lions (Calgary) for exhibition games (ex-pected to be played at Parkland Middle School) on Sept. 9 and 10.

Wrapping up pre-season play, the Lady Avs will hit the highway their final tune-ups at Red Deer College during exhibition tour-nament action from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.

The Avalanche will conclude regular season play with a double dose

of home action in the month of February, hosting the Columbia Bible College Bearcats and University of the Fraser Valley Cascades, before the 2017 PACWEST Volleyball Championships run from Feb. 23 to 25 at Vancouver Island Uni-versity in Nanaimo.

PACWEST will also serve as the host confer-ence for the 2017 CCAA National Volleyball Championships, as Ca-mosun College wel-comes the country from March 8 to 11.

Self-CareTips

Live Life Well.New patients always welcome in

Kimberley and Cranbrook!For detailed information please visit:www.roots-to-health.com

or call 778-481-5008734 Rotary Drive, Kimberley

Self-Care is often a part of life that gets overlooked and taken for granted. We fi nd more joy in looking after others including our children, spouses, pets and friends. However, by looking after yourself you not only set a positive example for all of your loved ones, but you are also better able to help when needed. With July 24th marking International Self-Care Day I wanted to outline a few simple ideas to help you take care of yourself.

#1 – Take time for yourself every dayWhether it be 5 minutes or 2 hours get into a routine where you are able to set aside time each day to do things that you love to do. Including but not limited to reading, walking, yoga, meditating or simply just sit and relax.

#2 – ExerciseYou have probably heard this one many times, but exercising daily has shown to be one of the best ways to reduce stress and has been scientifi cally proven to lower your chances of chronic illness. Exercise for at least 30 minutes each day can be as simple as going for a walk and outdoors has shown greater benefi t.

#3 – Cook your meals at homeCooking your meals from scratch using fresh, whole ingredients can give your body the micronutrients and minerals that it needs. If you are new to the kitchen consider taking cooking classes or pick up a cookbook from the library. We recommend Whole Life Nutrition, Nourishing Meals or the Oh She Glows Cookbooks for simple healthy recipes.

#4 – SleepMaking sure that you are getting to bed at a reasonable time and getting good quality sleep allows the body the time it needs to reset and repair itself. Diffi culty sleeping can be related to many factors and if you are unable to fall asleep or waking throughout the night consider talking to your health care provider.

#5 – Positive thinking ExercisesStudies have shown that exercises such as journaling, consciously showing gratitiude, physical activity, meditation and random acts of kindness are able to “rewire” the brain and reduce stress. Doing any or a mix of these activities daily can change your attitude to become more positive overall.

Remember that loving and caring for yourself is as important, if not more important than caring for others. Take time to work on your own well-being and those around will do the same. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us anytime.

Self-defence is a broad set of life skillsJOEL HUNC AR

For The Townsman

Many people misun-derstand what self-de-fence is.

They usually picture pajama-clad people screaming and breaking lumber with their feet or hands or two people wearing boxing gloves or MMA gloves and beating each other up in the ring. These are marital arts or combat sports and they should not be confused with self-defence.

Self-defence is a broader spectrum of skills yet, physically, much simpler skills than most martial arts systems and unlike martial arts and combat sports it is a life skill ev-eryone needs to have to get by in the world.

Literally, self-defence is a legal term governing the use of force we are allowed when it comes to protecting ourselves from assault. What most people consider self-de-fence actually comes under the label “person-al protection.”

Many people use “self-defence” skills and are not even aware of the fact that they did. If you’ve ever avoided a person because they give you an uneasy feel-ing, or got out of a public place because the “vibe” didn’t feel right, or even

talking yourself out of a physical confrontation by using de-escalation and bargaining skills, then you used self-de-fence skills.

Self-defence can be any type of skill that you use to avoid or over-come violence or other forms of criminal activi-ty. Looking at it that way it is easy to see that self-defence is more than a hobby — it is very basic life skills that we use on a daily basis.

Self-defence training starts young, teaching children the basics of safety such as stranger danger and how to deal with bullies is all basic self-defence. Even teaching children to be aware of danger when walking to school or to a friend’s house is prepar-ing them to protect themselves, which is what self-defence is re-ally all about.

Self-defence is not just about fighting. Vio-lence only happens after all other self-defence skills have been ex-hausted or you have made the wrong choices leading up to an inci-dent. Awareness and avoidance are the ma-jority of skills you will use daily when it comes to personal protection.

However, since most

people usually consider self-defence the physi-cal act of fighting, this is obviously a very import-ant part of personal se-curity in the minds of most people and some-thing that many people fear. Quite honestly, if the idea of being in a vi-olent conflict does not cause you a little fear you probably are igno-rant to how vulnerable a human being is when it comes to violence.

Even though many fear this kind of conflict, few truly prepare for it. We wrestle as children, much like cubs do in the animal kingdom. Play-ing with our friends, sib-lings and parents, we learn some rudiments of movement and how to overcome our peers. This is as much animal dominance play as it is instinctive training; but regardless, this instinc-tive play is part of our emotional make up and because it is still part of our behaviour it must be a positive survival trait.

This behaviour may give us some very pri-mary skills in moving and fighting, but the problem is that even though we have some rudimentary self-de-fence skills from our up-bringing we do not have the higher skill sets that

can really get us out of a horrible situation.

If you were ever in a life or death struggle I am sure you would want a higher level of skill than that which life handed you by happen-stance. This is where a good coach can come in.

By learning from a decent coach well-versed in reality-based personal-protection training, you can devel-op a higher skill set, both physically and mentally.

A good coach will give you not only the physical skills for when a situation gets bad but also the tactics that not only can help you avoid the worst case scenario but also to make sure you attack your attacker from the best tactical advantage you can find. If your instructor is doing his job you will have some conflict reso-lution skills, the ability to use deceit and ruses and the knowledge of how to initiate an attack with the best possible advantage if all your other options have been taken away.

Things like use of force examples will be taught along with other important tactics such as after the incident self-care, responsible ac-tions before, during and

after the incident. You don’t get to be violent in isolation, even when you are defending your-self; there will most like-ly be authority figures who ask questions. This is why self-defence is more than just kicking butt. Self-defence is a group of very important life skills.

Life experience can give you some very rudi-mentary skills for this type of situation, it is better to go much deep-er with a qualified self-defence instructor. Because when it comes to something so broad and encompassing as personal protection and safety it is better to be overtrained rather than unprepared.

The trained mind will act; the untrained mind will at best react and at worst will freeze or panic. Like learning how to drive or swim, self-defence skills are an important part of our basic life skills and are best learned under the tutelage of a qualified instructor.

PAUL NE WBERRYAssociated Press

TROON, Scotland - On a gorgeous, sunny day along the Scottish coast, the Americans re-sumed their domina-tion of Royal Troon.

Patrick Reed took ad-vantage of the benign conditions Thursday to start the British Open with a 5-under 66, leav-ing him one stroke ahead of Justin Thomas and Steve Stricker.

Reed got his round going by holing out from 139 yards at the par-4 third hole for eagle. That sparked him to a 5-under 31 on the much easier outward nine, which generally plays downwind and was es-pecially ripe for going low on this day.

On the return leg, playing tougher holes into the wind, it was all about survival.

Reed managed to shoot even par coming in and had no com-plaints. Asked to de-scribe the difference be-

tween the two nines, he replied, “David vs. Goli-ath.”

After a week domi-nated by who is - and, more notably, isn’t - going to Rio next month for the first Olympic tournament in 112 years, it was finally time to put the focus on the sport’s oldest major championship.

As usual, the Ameri-cans were having their way at Royal Troon, where the last six win-ners going back to Ar-nold Palmer in 1962 have been from the U.S.

“I’ve heard that stat as well, but honestly with how competition is these days, it doesn’t really matter where you’re from or anything like that,” Reed said. “You have to be on your game, you have to stick to your game plan. I think the main thing is to stay with my game plan because the odds of me going out and eagling 3 right out of the gates again, to go and hole out, it’s rare.”

Then again, the 25-year-old Reed cer-tainly doesn’t lack for confidence. Two years ago, he raised plenty of eyebrows by declaring himself to be one of the top five players in the world. That same year, he seemed to thrive on the heckling he received during the Ryder Cup in Scotland.

But Reed has yet to live up to his boasting, leaving him clearly on the outside of a Fab Four that includes Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIl-roy. They’ve won six of the last eight major championships and were on nearly every-one’s list of favourites coming into the week.

“It doesn’t really mat-ter to me. I’m not the one that’s writing the articles or doing anything,” Reed said. “At the end of the day all I can control is what I do and how I play the game. Honestly, for me, I don’t mind flying underneath the radar.”

Led by Reed, Americans rule again at Royal Troon

Jacklin, Shiftd look to future with hockey analysis startup

COURTESY SCOTT JACKLIN

Kimberley native Scott Jacklin, pictured with the ECHL’s Brampton Beast, is at the core of a new hock-ey analysis startup called Shiftd.

Finally, a one-on-one consultation be-tween coach and ath-lete will be arranged.

As happened in baseball many years ago, there has been an awakening to the world of advanced or relevant statistics within the game of hockey over the past five years.

One of the more commonly heard terms within hockey relevant statistics is Corsi, which measures the shot at-tempt differential of a player while he or she is on the ice. This means every shot on goal, blocked shot, wide shot — at both ends of the rink — combines to give a player his or her Corsi rating. Ultimately, this is intended to provide an athlete or coach with an indication of how a player can generate chances at the offensive end of the rink, while also preventing them at the defensive end.

Corsi ratings are

simply one relevant sta-tistic Jacklin and his crew of coaches will pinpoint and timestamp within a player’s game in an effort to help high-light good decisions and where improvements can be made.

Jacklin and his crew bill Shiftd as the next step in the evolution of hockey alongside tech-nology.

“The coaches we have are all current or ex-professional hockey players,” Jacklin said. “Some of the guys have NHL experience that are on this coaching staff.

“Most of them have been to the highest level…[We have] knowl-edge of the game as far as how kids can improve on an individual basis. Most coaches are just trying to improve the team game.”

Jacklin played a total of 90 KIJHL games — split between the Kim-berley Dynamiters and Columbia Valley Rock-

ies — accruing 27 goals and 75 points before graduating on to a suc-cessful career in the British Columbia Hock-ey League (BCHL).

In 209 career BCHL games (Cowichan Val-ley Capitals, Trail Smoke Easters), the 6-foot, 185-pound left-winger regis-tered 65 goals and 194 points, vaulting himself into a four-year college career at Robert Morris University (48-59-107 in 143 games).

He spent the 2015-16 in the ECHL, splitting time between the Elmi-ra Jackals and Brampton Beast, collecting eight goals and 21 points in 46 games.

More information on Shiftd is available at www.shiftd.io. Interest-ed players and/or par-ents unable to attend the July 20 information session can contact Jacklin directly via phone (647-574-3029) or email ([email protected]).

MLA’s former staffer charged with theft, fraudTOM FLETCHER

Black Press

A former constituency assistant in NDP MLA Rob Fleming’s office has been charged with theft, fraud and writing forged cheques from constituency funds.

Marnie Ruth Offman was to ap-pear in court Wednesday to face three charges, said a statement is-sued by special prosecutor Dirk Ry-neveld, who was appointed June 8. The charges relate to a six-year peri-od from March 2009 to Nov. 28, 2015.

“I made a complaint to the Vic-toria Police Department after mak-ing the shocking discovery that funds were missing from my office,” Fleming, MLA for Victoria-Swan Lake since 2005, said in a statement.

“This has been a very disturbing matter for me because it involves someone I worked closely with. Constituency office employees have the trust of the MLA and the com-munity they serve so it is gravely disappointing to have that trust vio-lated.”

Victoria Police issued a state-

ment confirming they were contact-ed by Fleming on May 18, and that they recommended the three charges after investigating. “Detec-tives believe that no one else was involved in this matter,” the state-ment says.

The Vancouver Sun reported that the investigation looked at $120,000 that has gone missing since 2009.

Constituency offices for B.C.’s 85 MLAs receive about $120,000 per year to cover office rent, staff sala-ries and expenses.

Smart meter class action lawsuit fails against BC HydroTOM FLETCHER

Black Press

The B.C. Supreme Court has dismissed an application by an-ti-smart meter activists to certify a class action suit against BC Hydro’s use of the wireless meters.

It’s the latest defeat for oppo-nents of wireless meters, whose claims of health hazards have also been rejected by the B.C. Utilities Commission and the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

In her June 12 decision, Justice Elaine Adair agreed with BC Hydro

expert Dr. Benjamin Cotts that it would be impossible to assess a “common issue” of thousands of customers’ exposure to radio fre-quency exposure, because of end-less variations in distance and wall materials separating people from meters.

Cotts also noted that in addition to radio frequency emissions from radio stations, cell phones, baby monitors, TV and weather radar, natural sources including light-ning, other humans and the Earth itself make the assessment of meter

emissions impractical.BC Hydro said in a statement it

is pleased by the decision on a wireless electricity system that has “realized $100 million in benefits in the first three years of the program, including reductions in electricity theft.”

The proposed representative plaintiffs in the class action appli-cation included Nomi Davis, who operates a yoga and healing centre business in her home, and Sharon Noble, a long-time protester against wireless meters.

BLACK PRESS FILES

Sharon Noble, proposed as a representative plaintiff in a class action suit against BC Hydro, protests outside the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver in 2012.

JIM BRONSKILLCanadian Press

OTTAWA - The RCMP will launch a new national effort to elimi-nate sexual misconduct in the workplace after an internal review criti-cized the police force’s response to an “egre-gious” case involving nudity and harassment.

The review conclud-ed the RCMP’s initial investigations into be-haviour at the Canadian Police College were “fraught with missed opportunities” to effec-tively deal with the mis-conduct, protect the vic-tims and witnesses and heal the workplace.

RCMP Commission-er Bob Paulson accept-ed a special steering committee’s 28 recom-mendations based on the findings, and he apologized to those who experienced distress over the episode.

Paulson has been wrestling for years with problems of bullying and harassment within the national police force by introducing a “re-spectful workplace”

course, setting up em-ployee advisory com-mittees, encouraging settlement of com-plaints at the earliest opportunity and pro-moting more women to senior posts.

Earlier this year, Pub-lic Safety Minister Ralph Goodale expressed out-rage to Paulson when allegations surfaced about unwanted sexual touching, bullying and rampant nudity in the explosives training unit of the RCMP-adminis-tered police college in Ottawa.

In February, a former employee of the explo-sives unit wrote to Paul-son about the behaviour of two colleagues. The member alleged that Staff Sgt. Bruno Solesme and civilian member Marco Calandrini had repeatedly engaged in sexual misconduct and harassment from ap-proximately June 2012 through December 2013, said the review re-port, made public Thursday.

The member was frustrated that despite

the allegations, Solesme and Calandrini were al-lowed to return to work in the explosives field, with minimal repercus-sions.

Two years before the allegations were point-ed out to Paulson, vari-ous internal investiga-tions had been initiated into the events.

The latest review, or-dered by the commis-sioner, found that inci-dents of nudity and un-welcome touching had occurred at the explo-sives unit. However, the incidents were not im-mediately reported by the victims for a variety of reasons, including “discomfort and fear.”

“This type of be-haviour in the work-place is unacceptable, regardless of the inten-tion, and must be eradi-cated from the work-place,” said the review report.

Prompt reporting of sexual misconduct in the workplace must be encouraged so that it can be addressed im-mediately with an ap-propriate response, the

report added.The more than two

dozen recommenda-tions flowing from the report addressed issues including human re-source management, accountability and communication prac-tices in the RCMP.

Paulson has commit-ted to providing Goodale with a “com-prehensive action plan” within 30 days on im-plementing the recom-mendations.

In a 2013 report, the watchdog over the RCMP said the force must take swift and ef-fective action on com-plaints of bullying and harassment to reassure both members and the public.

The force said Thurs-day it must continue to strengthen and promote workplace wellness, en-sure RCMP employees are safe from harass-ment and give them confidence in the inter-nal processes to deal with misconduct.

RCMP apologizes over harassment episode, promises national effort

Army headed for Africa, says top Canadian general MIKE BLANCHFIELD

LEE BERTHIAUMECanadian Press

OTTAWA - Canada’s army will soon be bound for Africa, Canada’s top soldier said Thursday, fuelling speculation that it will be deployed on a peacekeeping operation to control the spread of terrorism on the conti-nent.

“The army’s been preparing for the future ... preparing for a wide range of future tasks,” Gen. Jonathan Vance, the chief of the defence staff, told a rain-soaked change of command ceremony for the army on the lawn of Parlia-ment Hill.

“Internationally, the

army is at the forefront, managing conflicts around the world, con-tributing to operations in Iraq, building capaci-ty with allies and part-ners in Poland, Ukraine, and very soon in Africa.”

Vance did not elabo-rate in front of an audi-ence of several hundred that included military officials, politicians and diplomats.

But the remark comes one day after De-fence Minister Harjit Sajjan said containing the spread of terrorism across Africa is a consid-eration for Canada as one possible contribu-tion to a UN peacekeep-ing mission, a core for-eign policy goal of the

Trudeau Liberals.Sajjan said the need

to control the spread of Islamic militants across the Middle East and Af-rica is part of the govern-ment’s calculation in determining where Can-ada’s eventual peace-keeping mission will be focused.

Multiple sources have told The Canadian Press that Mali, where the French are leading a UN mission that has seen at least 19 peace-keepers killed this year, is one destination that’s being carefully consid-ered.

Vance and others maintain that the Cana-dian Forces do indeed have the capacity to si-

multaneously help NATO deter Russia on Europe’s eastern border while launching a sub-stantial United Nations peacekeeping mission.

The government’s decision last week to contribute 450 soldiers, light armoured vehicles and other equipment to Latvia to a 1,000-strong multinational NATO

force has raised ques-tions about whether the Canadian Forces can still make good on mounting a major UN peacekeeping mission.

The former com-mander of the army is backing up those politi-cal assertions, as is a leading Canadian peacekeeping expert who is helping to advise

the government.“We will be able to

deliver whatever the government wants us to do,” said Lt.-Gen. Mar-quis Hainse, who for-mally ceded command of the army to Lt.-Gen. Paul Wynnyk during Thursday’s ceremony.

“There’s room to ma-noeuvre there, to con-tribute to somewhere

else.”Indeed, there’s room

-but it won’t be easy, said Walter Dorn, a pro-fessor at the Canadian Forces Staff College in Kingston.

“The NATO commit-ment puts a strain on the number of forces that are available for UN de-ployments but I think we can do both,” Dorn said.

JIM BRONSKILLCanadian Press

OTTAWA - Employ-ers must have just cause for firing a federally reg-ulated worker who lacks union protection, the Supreme Court of Canada says.

In a ruling Thursday, the high court said the dismissal of an Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. employee without a valid reason was pro-

hibited under the Can-ada Labour Code.

The Canadian La-bour Congress hailed the decision as a win for all federally regulated employees, particularly half a million non-union workers at banks, telecommunications firms, transportation companies and some Crown corporations.

The Supreme Court ruled in favour of Jo-

seph Wilson, who was dismissed without cause by Atomic Energy of Canada in 2009 and given a severance pack-age.

Wilson had a clean disciplinary record during more than four years of employment, first as a senior buyer and later as procure-ment supervisor. Wil-son claimed he was fired in reprisal for fil-

ing a complaint about improper procurement practices.

A labour adjudicator concluded that an em-ployer could not resort to severance payments, however generous, to avoid a determination under the labour code about the dismissal.

Because the em-ployer did not rely on any cause to fire Wil-son, his complaint was

allowed - only to be later overturned in the Federal Court. The Fed-eral Court of Appeal upheld that decision, prompting Wilson’s ap-peal to the Supreme Court.

In reasons for the high court ruling, Jus-tice Rosalie Abella noted that for many years under common law, a non-union em-ployee could be dis-

missed without reasons if he or she was given reasonable notice or pay in lieu.

Abella said the issue in question was wheth-er Parliament, in mak-ing amendments to the Canada Labour Code in 1978, intended to offer protections much like those available to em-ployees covered by a collective agreement.

“In my respectful

view, like almost all of the hundreds of adjudi-cators who have inter-preted the scheme, I believe that is exactly what Parliament’s in-tention was,” Abella wrote in her reasons.

Labour congress president Hassan Yus-suff said he hopes the ruling sends a “wakeup call” to employers.

Feds signal annual increase in health transfers to dropANDY BLATCHFORD

Canadian Press

OTTAWA - A familiar sore spot between Otta-wa and the provinces is beginning to flare up once again: how much money should the feds be handing over for health care?

As efforts continue to forge a new federal-pro-vincial health accord, Quebec’s health minis-ter says Ottawa intends to let the annual in-crease in health trans-fers fall to as low as half its current rate at the end of the fiscal year.

Gaetan Barrette said his officials have been told Ottawa has no ap-

petite to keep the esca-lator at its current level of six per cent. Starting in 2017-18, the transfer is scheduled to grow only as much as Cana-da’s nominal GDP, with a guaranteed minimum increase of three per cent.

Barrette argued in an interview that such a shortfall in health trans-fers would create a “scary situation” for cash-strapped provinc-es that face emerging heath-care costs linked to factors such as aging baby boomers.

The thorny debate over federal health transfers has been dor-

mant in recent years, but appears poised to re-emerge as the cur-rent funding formula expires.

The discussion is ex-pected to dominate the agenda at next week’s meeting of provincial and territorial premiers in Whitehorse.

Barrette expects Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard to deliver a strong message during the Council of the Federation talks be-cause the Quebec gov-ernment considers a three-per-cent escalator a “freeze” in the level of health services.

“We’re not even dis-

cussing - we are being told - that the escalator will go from six (per cent) to three,” Barrette said of the messages his staff has received from the federal government.

“It hasn’t been said (quite this) way, but it was close to: ‘Don’t ex-pect too much and don’t call us.”’

The annual increase in transfers was part of the of last health accord that expired in 2014. The previous Conserva-tive government refused to renegotiate it and unilaterally declared it would end in 2017.

Barrette said while his federal counterpart Jane Philpott has been attentive during the dis-cussions, he believes the federal Liberal govern-ment as a whole appears headed in the same di-rection as the Tories were.

Other provinces are also worried about the fate of the health trans-fers.

Ontario Health Min-ister Eric Hoskins said

the premiers previously called on Ottawa to boost transfers so they cover at least a 25-per-cent of share of health costs. Currently, Hoskins said the federal government’s share is about 22 per cent.

Allowing the escala-tor to drop would move Ottawa further away from the 25-per-cent target - and even that level is too low for On-tario, he added.

“Ontario would like to see that federal share continue to increase be-yond 25 per cent,” Hoskins said in an inter-view, noting that the provinces are now wait-ing to hear how much funding they can expect.

Asked about the es-calator, Philpott would only say that the transfer provides a “stable fund-ing base” and that any additional cash would be focused on priority areas like home care and mental health.

“Decisions on feder-al funding linked to a new health accord will

be made once the areas for reform are identified through negotiations with the provinces and territories,” she said in an email.

The federal govern-ment, which aims to sign a deal with the provinces by the end of 2016, has said it remains committed to boosting health-care funding.

Its maiden budget, however, contained no money for a new health accord with the prov-inces. The budget also omitted cash for the Liberals’ “immediate” campaign commitment to invest $3 billion over four years to deliver more and better home care.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau has said the health funding was left out of the March budget because negotiations with the provinces had yet to provide a clear di-rection.

Hoskins said Thurs-day that some commit-ments, such as the Lib-eral home-care vow, may ultimately be in-cluded in the health

transfers.Nova Scotia Health

Minister Leo Glavine said the provinces and territories would make use of the home-care investment.

The health transfer, however, is the “stum-bling block” in the talks, Glavine said.

He said Ontario and Quebec are “certainly driving hard” to see the escalator stay at six per cent, while his province - with its rapidly aging demographic - is seek-ing a formula that pro-vides funding based on the percentage of resi-dents over 65.

“So far, Ottawa really has not shown their cards,” said Glavine, who called the White-horse meeting “very, very critical” to the ne-gotiating process.

“We’re down to just a speck over five months and there’s a lot yet to be accomplished and I think it’s critical before the end of 2016 that we have a very, very clear direction for the next number of years.”

Toronto city council has approved three su-pervised injection sites in the city.

Council voted 36-3 Thursday to support su-pervised injection ser-vices at existing health-care facilities in down-town Toronto.

The services are aimed at providing a safe and hygenic environ-ment where people can inject pre-obtained drugs under a nurse’s su-pervision.

Earlier this month, Toronto’s board of health

unanimously accepted a recommendation for three small-scale super-vised injection sites.

Between 2004 and 2014 there was a 77 per cent increase in the re-ported number of people dying from overdoses in Toronto, according to a report presented to the board of health.

The three sites will be set up at Toronto Public Health, the Queen West-Central Toronto Community Health Cen-tre and the South River-dale Community Health Centre.

DIANA MEHTA PETER C AMERON

Canadian Press

TORONTO - Police forces across Canada are warning of the risks involved in playing aug-mented reality games such as Pokemon Go as reports mount of people getting injured or land-ing in trouble as they play the wildly popular game.

The cellphone-based game sends players into the real world to search for digital monsters known as Pokemon, who appear on screen when users hold up their iPhones or An-droid devices in various locations at various times.

While not officially released in Canada yet, many residents have found workarounds to access the game that’s become a blockbuster hit since launching in the United States, Aus-tralia and New Zealand last week.

Police forces, howev-er, are worried about the game luring people into potentially dangerous situations and are cau-tioning players to use their common sense.

In Quebec City, po-lice said two officers suf-fered minor injuries when a car they ob-served driving strangely reversed into their cruiser in a parking lot.

“The driver said ‘I’m sorry, I was playing Pokemon Go,”’ said Const. Nancy Roussel, who said police are call-ing on players to be aware of their surround-ings.

“Be careful, watch out, even if you are in a car, on your feet or on a bicycle, be careful and watch where you’re going, please.”

Every time the Pokemon Go app is opened, a warning from game maker Niantic pops up, telling players to be aware of their sur-roundings. Players must also agree to fine print saying they cannot enter private property without permission.

There’s also a dis-claimer that says Niantic is not liable for any property damage, inju-ries or deaths that result while playing.

But despite the warn-ings, some people play-ing the game have wan-dered into private yards, driveways, cemeteries and, in one U.S. case, even an off-limits police parking lot in search of the app’s cartoon mon-sters.

In Vancouver, police have observed the game’s colourful digital characters inside their own headquarters and have cautioned city resi-dents over what they termed the “Pokemon

Go invasion.”“Are you about to

step into traffic? Are you going to crash into someone or something? You could end more than just your game,” they said. “It is very easy for any stranger to know your gathering spots. Make sure you go with a group, and that younger kids tell parents or an-other adult where they’re going.”

Some police forces have also been employ-ing the hashtag #Dont-CatchAndDrive as play-ers roam community streets.

“Please do not look for #Pokemon while driving. If you’ve gotta catch ‘em all, do so safe-ly. #DontCatchAnd-Drive,” tweeted Edmon-ton police.

Winnipeg police and Manitoba RCMP sent out similar missives, urging players to be re-sponsible.

In Ontario, provin-cial police have put out a short video on Twitter in response to the “po-tential risk and harm” they are seeing related to the game.

“People are getting injured, people in the U.S. are having their cellphones stolen when they show up at given locations where Pokemon are supposed to be in hiding,” said Sgt. Dave Rektor.

When asked if police have received any re-ports of incidents in On-tario, Rektor replied: “I haven’t heard of any but I’m sitting here pulling what little hair I have left out of my head wonder-ing when common sense will catch up to this crazy world.”

The cops aren’t the only ones issuing warn-ings - Montreal’s metro-

politan transportation agency has asked riders to respect safety rules when going in search of Pokemon near its facili-ties, posting a photo-graph of one of the game’s monsters by a railway track as a train approaches.

South of the border, police in the U.S. have cautioned players that trespassers could get ar-

rested or worse, espe-cially if they cross paths with an armed property owner.

In Utah, a teen was slapped with a trespass-ing ticket that he worries could cost him up to $200 after he and a cou-ple of friends went on an early morning Pokemon chase at an abandoned grain silo.

Meanwhile, in west-

ern Pennsylvania, one woman told a local TV station that her 15-year-old daughter was hit by a car while playing the game and crossing a busy highway. The girl was hospitalized with an injured collarbone and foot, as well as cuts and bruises, her mother said.

Classic Nintendo system returnsC ANADIAN PRESS

REDMOND, Wash. - If you have fond memories of battling King Koopa or tossing barrels as Donkey Kong, you can relive them this fall.

Nintendo is leaping into the nostalgia market by bringing back the classic Nintendo Enter-tainment System.

The NES Classic edition comes complete with 30 built-in games, including all three “Super Mario Bros.,” ”Donkey Kong,“ ”The Legend of Zelda,“ and ”Punch-Out.“

Nintendo says it’s bringing back the wildly popular system that launched in the 1980s so those who grew up with it can

pass gaming memories onto the next generation.

The device looks almost exact-ly like the original NES, but small-er. It will be able to be hooked up directly to high-definition TVs.

The system goes on sale on Nov. 11. Redmond, Washing-ton-based Nintendo of America says it will retail for $59.99.

Game of Thrones nabs 23 Emmy nodsLYNN ELBER

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - Power-and-blood fantasy saga “Game of Thrones” ruled the Emmy Award nominations Thursday with a leading 23 bids, including best drama, while a real-life epic of murder and celebrity, “The Peo-ple v. O.J. Simpson,” was close behind with 22 nods.

“Game of Thrones” gets the chance to win its second top Emmy, while “Veep,” last year’s

top comedy winner, also will get another shot at holding office and with 17 nominations was the comedy leader.

Breakthrough nominations in-clude a best comedy series nod for sophomore “black-ish,” which brought the African-American family sitcom back to network TV, with bids as well for its stars, An-thony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross.

They were among a number of black actors recognized by TV

academy voters, who have started to keep pace with TV’s growing diversity - in sharp contrast to moviedom’s Academy Awards, which were slammed as “Oscars So White” this year.

Viola Davis, the “How to Get Away with Murder” star who last year became the first woman of colour to win a best drama ac-tress trophy, was nominated again. So was “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson.

Suspect in Calgary girl’s disappearance not co-operating with policeBILL GR AVELAND LAUREN KRUGEL

Canadian Press

CALGARY - A sus-pect arrested in the dis-appearance of a five-year-old Calgary girl is giving “zero co-opera-tion” to investigators, police said Thursday as officers scoured a rural area east of the city.

Insp. Don Coleman said Thursday the man is believed to be the same one witnesses saw Monday with a girl matching Taliyah Mars-man’s description.

The man and girl were in the same Cal-gary neighbourhood where Sara Baillie’s body was discovered Monday night in the basement suite she shared with her daugh-ter.

Police believe the man and the girl left a car belonging to Baillie, got into a grey sedan and drove off. Coleman said the sedan was seized in a strip mall parking lot on Wednes-day night and the driver was arrested. The car

was being examined by the forensics unit.

Coleman said Baillie, 34, knew the suspect, as did Taliyah’s father, Colin Marsman. He also said the suspect is known to police and has a extensive criminal background with some violence.

Police have not closed their eyes to the possibility of other sus-pects, he said.

Meanwhile, between 50 and 75 city police and RCMP officers were searching for clues in a

rural area east of Cal-gary on Thursday.

The officers, wearing bright yellow vests, were trudging through canola fields of the same vi-brant hue and combing through tall grass with poles.

The groups made their way deliberately along gravel side roads, stopping to talk to prop-erty owners and linger-ing when they came across a culvert or bridge.

Coleman acknowl-edged that the rural

search “does have a more ominous tone to it” but added it shouldn’t be viewed negatively.

“Information that comes to light through several investigative strategies led us to be-lieve that this individual was briefly in that area,” he said.

“We’ve searched other premises in the last few days. This rural area is no different.”

A stuffed animal was found by searchers, but police have no idea if it’s significant.

Margaret Orr, who lives on a rural property on the edge of a golf course, said police came by and asked how long she and her husband have been living there and if they’d seen or heard anything suspi-cious.

Orr said she had looked through her barn, greenhouse and other buildings on her property and would continue to keep an eye out.

An Amber Alert was still in effect Thursday and Coleman said po-lice expect to find Tali-yah alive.

“There has been nothing to indicate the status of that has changed.”

On Wednesday, Coleman said the girl seen by witnesses around midday Monday had a reddish suitcase, suggesting whoever had

her intends to look after her.

Investigators have also said footage from a closed-circuit camera shows Baillie and her daughter at a Dairy Queen around supper-time Sunday. Baillie ap-pears to be speaking with a man and a boy. Police have yet to identi-fy the people in the foot-age and have posted still photos of the exchange on the City of Calgary’s website.

Taliyah’s family was “doing exactly as ex-pected,” Coleman said.

“They are very ... upset. They want Tali-yah safely returned. They’ve lost their daughter, their niece, and they’re just hoping that at least Taliyah can be returned safely.”

Her father has also put out a plea for who-ever has Taliyah to “do the right thing.”

Wild horses, seals of remote Sable Island now on

Google Street ViewC ANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX - Whether they’re at a desk or on the couch, anyone with an interest in visiting the wind-swept dunes of Nova Scotia’s remote Sable Island can now do so without getting sand in their shoes.

Parts of the cres-cent-shaped island, sit-uated roughly 290 kilo-metres southeast of Hal-ifax, can now be seen on Google Street View.

From Google Maps, one click triggers a diz-zying switch from the generic blue and green shapes of the map to crisp, 360-degree pho-tographic images. Doz-ens of seals can be seen lounging in the white sand and blue surf on the expansive shoreline, and horses nibble on sparse grass among the shifting sand dunes.

An on-screen ‘x’ guides the user through a short “stroll” around a portion of the island’s midsection, with breathtaking views in all directions - but espe-cially out over the Atlan-tic.

Danielle Hickey of Parks Canada said the

42-kilometre long, 1.5-kilometre wide is-land isn’t the first na-tional park to appear on Google Street View, but she said its addition is especially unique and exciting because it is largely inaccessible to the general public.

“This seemed like a wonderful opportunity to allow people to con-nect to this very remote and also very special place,” said Hickey in a phone interview on Thursday.

“They’ll see the beach, the Sable Island horses, seals, the Bald Dune - which is a 90-foot high sand dune. It gives these incredible vistas and a full view out to the sea.”

Hickey said Parks Canada has been work-ing with Google since 2013 to capture Canadi-an sites with Google Street View technology.

Other such places that can be explored on street view include Klu-ane National Park and Reserve in Yukon, Foril-lon National Park in Quebec and the Pingo Canadian Landmark in Northwest Territories.

Truck slams into revelers in Nice, dozens believed deadCIAR AN FAHEY

R APHAEL SAT TERAssociated Press

NICE, France - A truck loaded with weap-ons and hand grenades drove onto a sidewalk for more than a mile, plowing through Bas-tille Day revelers who’d gathered to watch fire-works in the French re-sort city of Nice late Thursday in what some officials and eyewit-nesses called a deliber-ate attack. Authorities said at least 75 people were killed.

Nice prosecutor Jean-Michel Pretre de-scribed a horrific scene, with bodies strewn about along the road-way. However, he stopped short of using the word attack, while acknowledging that “it has many ingredients of an attack that allow us to think that.”

The ranking politi-

cian of the Alpes-Mari-time department that includes Nice said the truck plowed into the crowd over a distance of 2 kilometres (1.2 miles), killing 75 people and wounding 50. Many of those on the ground were in shorts and other summer clothing.

Eric Ciotti said on BFM TV that police killed the driver “appar-ently after an exchange of gunfire.”

Sylvie Toffin, a press officer with the local prefecture, said the truck ran over people on a “long trip” down the sidewalk near Nice’s Palais de la Mediterra-nee, a building that fronts the beach. She called the incident “an attack.”

Wassim Bouhlel, a Nice native who spoke to the AP nearby, said that he saw a truck drive into the crowd. “There

was carnage on the road,” he said. “Bodies everywhere.”

The president of the Provence Alpes Cote d’Azur regional council, which includes Nice, said the truck was load-ed with arms and gre-nades. Christian Estrosi told BFM TV that “the driver fired on the crowd, according to the police who killed him.”

Bouhlel said he wit-nessed the man emerge with a gun and start shooting

Images being broad-cast across French media showed revelers running for their lives down Nice’s palm tree-lined Promenade des Anglais, the famous sea-side boulevard named for the English aristo-crats who proposed its construction in the 19th century.

Video footage showed men and

women - one or two pushing strollers - rac-ing to get away from the scenes. And, in what ap-peared to be evidence of a gun battle, photos showed a truck with at least half a dozen bullet holes punched through its windshield.

It was not immedi-ately clear who would have been behind an at-tack, but France has re-cently seen a spate of dramatic assaults from by jihadist groups, in-cluding the Islamic State group which straddles Iraq and Syria.

President Barack Obama condemned what he said “appears to be a horrific terrorist at-tack.”

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and other loved ones of those killed,” he said.

Most of Alberta’s new oilsands panel have been meeting for years

BOB WEBERCanadian Press

EDMONTON - Alber-ta’s new panel on the fu-ture of the oilsands hasn’t held its first meet-ing, but most of its mem-bers have already been getting together for years.

“When I first started meeting with CEOs from the oil industry to have discussions on common ground, it was two years ago,” said Tzeporah Ber-man, one of three co-chairs of the new Oil-sands Advisory Group. “The history of this is al-ready a couple of years old.”

Of the 15 people in the new group, Berman said about 10 of them - or the institution they rep-resent - have been part of informal talks that began when Jim Prentice was Alberta’s premier.

Alberta’s NDP gov-ernment raised eye-brows on all sides of the oilsands debate Wednes-day when it appointed Berman, a prominent oilsands critic and lead-ing figure in Canada’s en-vironmental movement, to help map how the in-dustry could conform to the province’s climate change strategy.

The Opposition Wil-drose Party called the de-cision “very disappoint-ing.” Berman acknowl-

edged she’s heard the same, for different rea-sons, from her peers.

She has marched against new oilsands pipelines. One group she used to lead, ForestEth-ics, tried to convince Americans to stop buy-ing oilsands-derived oil.

Now she’s talking about the importance of jobs and the need to not upset capital markets.

“I expected a pretty big backlash,” she said.

But she points out that the quiet dialogue, away from politicians and reporters, has al-ready borne fruit. The same informal roundta-ble that became the nu-cleus of the new panel also deeply influenced the creation of the cli-mate policy it now seeks to implement.

“When the new NDP government came in and announced they wanted to do a climate change plan, we already had a number of shared policy positions that we could bring to them. We al-ready had principles for a strong carbon pricing system.”

Berman’s search for common ground be-tween business and en-vironmentalists has also brought results in other industries. She was in-volved in both the Clayo-quot Sound agreement,

which ended the so-called “war in the woods” over some old-growth forests in British Colum-bia, and the Canadian

Boreal Forest Agree-ment, hailed as one of Canada’s largest con-servation agreements.

PARIS - A leaked proposal shows the U.S. offering Russia a new military pact against the Islamic State and al-Qaida in Syria.

The document published by The Washington Post calls for joint bomb-ing operations, a command-and-con-trol headquarters and other synchro-nized efforts.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will discuss the proposal in Moscow later Thursday.

Such a partnership would under-cut months of U.S. criticism of Russia’s military intervention in Syria.

And it would put the U.S. alongside Syrian President Bashar Assad’s chief international backer, despite years of American demands for Assad to leave power.

Leaked proposal: US offering Russia military pact in Syria

rard Araud, character-ized the events as a “ter-rorist attack.”

Writing online, Nice Matin journalist Damien Allemand who was at the waterside said the fireworks dis-play had finished and the crowd had got up to leave when they heard a noise and cries.

“A fraction of a sec-ond later, an enormous white truck came along at a crazy speed, turning the wheel to mow down the maximum number of people,” he said.

“I saw bodies flying

like bowling pins along its route. Heard noises, cries that I will never forget.”

Graphic footage showed a scene of hor-ror up and down the Promenade, with bro-ken bodies splayed out on the asphalt, some of them piled near one an-other, others bleeding out onto the roadway or twisted into unnatural shapes.

“Help my mother, please!” one person yells out amid a cacoph-ony of screaming and crying. A pink girl’s bicy-

cle is briefly seen over-turned by the side of the road.

The origin and au-thenticity of the footage could not immediately be verified.

Kayla Repan, of Boca Raton, Florida, was among the hundreds gathered on the prome-nade to watch fireworks.

“The whole city was running. I got extremely frightened and ran away from the promenade,” she said. “It was chaos. We hid in a restaurant but now we moved to a separate hotel.”

Dear Annie: Every summer, my husband and I go away to our beach house for sever-al weeks. My husband leaves the key to our suburban home with a neighbor in case of an emergency. The problem is, when we arrive back home after our vacation, I find things not the way I left them. I would never go out of town and leave spills on the kitchen floor and a mess in my oven. My husband denies it, but I’m pretty sure the neighbor is letting my mother-in-law use the key. I suspect Mom and her friends come in and make themselves right at home. (My mother-in-law always refers to our home as “my son’s house.”) I feel my privacy has been violated, and worse, that my husband is betraying me by being loyal to his mother at my expense. I’m not sure what to do aside from changing the lock and giving the key to one of my friends with instructions not to give it out to anyone. We have had many arguments over this, and he is losing all credibility with me. Please help. -- Frustrated in the Northeast Dear Frustrated: What are you waiting for? Get that key away from your unreliable neighbor and give it to someone you trust. Leave your mother-in-law out of the prob-lem. Obviously someone has been in your house, and that’s reason enough to let the neighbor know you want your key back. If you think there is a copy floating around, change the locks. Dear Annie: I don’t want to open up the great spanking debate. I don’t think spank-ing is always child abuse, but I firmly believe parents can spare the rod and not spoil the child. Never hitting your child should be a goal for all parents. That said, I have two nieces, ages 6 and 7, who often are left in the care of their grand-mother -- who hits them with a fly swatter. This strikes me as wrong, especially consid-ering the frequency with which it occurs. The children’s mother thinks Granny’s behavior is fine, and although their father doesn’t like it, he says nothing. I would offer to baby-sit my nieces, but I live 400 miles away. Is this child abuse? What can I do? -- Too Far from Stockton, Ca-lif. Dear Stockton: If a parent chooses to spank a child (and we are not in favor of this), a weapon should never be used. A fly swatter may seem harmless, but applied with suffi-cient force, it can scratch the skin and cause bruising and welts. Is there physical damage from this form of discipline? If so, it may constitute child abuse. We assume you are the father’s sister. Please talk to your brother and see how seri-ous this is. Also, if he is not in favor of Gran-ny’s behavior, he should have the gumption to speak up and say so. Dear Annie: My mother will be 90 next month, and I want to have a small get-to-gether for family and friends. We will serve coffee and Italian cookies. I don’t know how to address the invita-tions to let people know that we’d like them to stop in and say hello, have a snack, and then leave. Too much company wears Mom out. We’d like people to stay long enough to share a few memories, but that’s it. How do we word that? Thanks for the advice. I read your column every day in the upstate New York Lead-er-Herald. -- D. Dear D.: The way to keep people from stay-ing too long is to make the duration of the party short. “Please join us for coffee and memories to celebrate our mother’s 90th birthday. Time: 2-3:30 p.m.” At 3:30, prompt-ly stand up, tell your guests how lovely it was to see them, but Mom needs her rest, and you are looking forward to having them visit again another time. Then usher them to the door.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Just be yourself and be sponta-neous. More will fall into place that way than if you were to plan out everything logically. Your instincts prove to be excel-lent, and your creativity keeps bubbling up. Meeting new peo-ple is almost too easy for you. Tonight: Look past the obvious. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Recognize when you have had enough. You will want to follow through on what you want to see happen. Laughter surrounds you and allows greater give-and-take between you and a key person who often seems uptight. Tonight: Be responsive but not overly doting. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Your sense of direction will prove to be far more important than you realize. You’ll commu-nicate what you want with the expectation that your thoughts will be well-received. Others are likely to be considerate, but still expect some questions. Tonight: Chat the night away.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your effectiveness will be test-ed. You might not be sure which way to proceed in the current situation. A conversation could be difficult to follow at this time, as you seem to be a bit dis-tracted about a money matter. Tonight: Treat a friend or two to kick off the weekend.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Act on what you feel. A younger person needs advice, and will seek you out. Even if he or she doesn’t ask you directly for your feedback, you’ll wind up offer-ing it anyway. Help this person maintain a sense of humor in order to help him or her detach. Tonight: Out on the town.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Honor a change of pace. You might need to rethink a per-sonal matter and your priori-ties. Share more openly with a roommate or family member. You will receive strong feedback from someone who knows you. Be gracious and keep it light. Tonight: Head home early.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You might have the inclination to head out the door early. There

is no reason why you cannot do this. Decide what is best for you, then proceed. You are likely to have a lot to share with several friends with whom you have not had enough time lately. Tonight: Take off ASAP. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Be more aware of yourself, especially as you could have a tendency to go overboard and be excessive right now. A friend has a lot to share, but you might feel conflicted as you listen. You could want to be logical, but that really doesn’t work for you at the moment. Tonight: Out late.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have accomplished a lot, and you could be evaluating yet another decision. Use the coming weekend to review a sit-uation that might not feel right. Note what you think is off, then discuss this matter with a trust-ed confidant. Tonight: Make the most of each moment.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Slow down and take your time. Be aware of what needs to happen in order to get a project moving. An issue that you have

with an associate needs to be discussed with a friend or family member first. You need to gain a fresh perspective. Tonight: Don’t act on any decisions yet.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A friend shares something that you believe to be gossip but that he or she thinks is the truth. Be grateful for his or her openness. Understand that you won’t know the whole story for a while. Someone is drawn to you. Tonight: Out with the gang. Put on your dancing shoes.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Someone you care about pushes you hard. This person wants to know more about where you are coming from. Open up and share your thoughts. Be careful with someone who is young or im-mature; he or she might not be as loyal as you believe. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.BORN TODAYAuthor Clive Cussler (1931), singer Linda Ronstadt (1946), painter Rembrandt (1606)

Clement seeks to take Tories

beyond niche politics Stephanie LevitzCanadian PressOTTAWA - Using mi-

cro-targeted policies and politics to attract specific, narrow groups of voters is a strategy the Conservatives must abandon if they are to find their way back to government, says the newest entrant in the party’s leadership race.

While longtime On-tario politician Tony Clement is proud of the federal party’s record in power, the political landscape around the world is changing and the Conservatives need to change with it, he said in an interview Thursday.

One need only look at the recent political upheaval in the United Kingdom, and the po-tential for it in the U.S., to know what Clement is talking about.

“People have been the victims of a number of economic forces that have converged and no one in Washington or London was listening to them,” Clement said.

“That’s what creates the dissonance, this feeling of abandon-ment. That’s what we have to avoid in this country.”

There will come a time in Canada when people feel about the current Liberal govern-

ment the way they did about the former Con-servative government - that it’s time for a change.

Some in conservative circles don’t believe that day will come as soon as 2019, and want to focus on provincial candi-dates like Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown or Tory MP Jason Kenney as he seeks to unite the right in Alberta.

But Clement, who served in the Ontario government before jumping to federal poli-tics, said politics moves too fast to count any-thing out. The Tories need to start rebuilding broken relationships now.

“We’ve got to do that through our leadership and through the way we comport ourselves, the way we communicate, the way we train, poli-cies,” he said.

“All of that gets us to the table.”

The Conservatives were elected in 2006 on a tightly focused plat-form and maintained a targeted policy ap-proach through their time in power, rolling out waves of niche tax breaks like those for kid’s activities or volun-teer firefighters in a bid to lure small but tacti-cally key segments of voters.

MARTIN VAN DEN HEMELB.C. Local News

Is Greater Vancouver’s real estate market on the verge of a crash?

A new report by Royal LePage predicts there won’t even by a mild correction this year thanks in large part to events overseas.

Phil Soper, president of Royal LePage, said its fore-casting models earlier this year called for the housing market to cool in the latter stages of 2016 because the cost of borrowing was expected to modestly increase.

But the real estate firm is now predicting the Bank of Canada will leave those interest rates alone because of Britain’s decision last month to leave the European Union (Brexit), which has led to econom-ic and social fallout across the globe.

“Few industries are as rate sensitive as real es-tate,” Soper said in a news release. “We don’t see even a mild correction for either the Toronto or pis-tol-hot Vancouver markets in 2016.”

The report, compiled from proprietary property data from 53 of Canada’s largest real estate markets, is bullish on real estate nationally, forecasting a 12.4-per-cent appreciation in the price of an average home this year compared to the end of 2015.

TAX POLICY PERILOUSHe praised government efforts to gather and ana-

lyze data and better understand housing market — such as last week’s release by the province of a three-week snapshot of foreign buyer data — but added the further step of legislation could be dangerous.

“We remain convinced that heavy-handed use of tax policy in an effort to artificially influence asset values in an open-market economy like ours is fraught with peril, particularly in a cyclical industry like housing.”

People who buy and flip homes, for example, he said, eventually get burned.

But Vancouver isn’t waiting for that to happen.This week, the city got provincial backing to in-

troduce a tax on vacant homes in response to grow-ing concerns about housing affordability and a tight rental market.

Much different from how Soper describes Toron-to, which he said has a healthy appreciating housing market, families priced out of the single-fami-ly-home market in Vancouver seem to be turning to larger condos, with prices reflecting this shift.

“We have (also) seen an uptick in the rate of price appreciation for condominiums of over 1,000 square feet, when compared to smaller units in the market,” Soper said.

FOREIGN BUYERS INFLUENCEAs for foreign buyers, who are often blamed for

Vancouver house prices becoming unaffordable for locals, Royal LePage’s realtor survey provided a bit more insight into the situation.

Seventy-four per cent of respondents said there’s been a year-over-year increase in international buy-ers, while 37 per cent believe foreign owners ac-count for less than 10 per cent of the Greater Van-couver housing market.

While some have suggested there could be a rush of investor interest from Britons who see Vancou-ver’s housing market as a safe haven, Royal LePage doesn’t see that happening.

No Metro Vancouver housing crash this year,

report predicts

Venomous vipers seized in Richmond shipment

ANTHONY VIA FLICKR.COM

Three Chinese Mountain Pit Vipers, like the one above, were seized in a package in Richmond.

MARTINVAN DEN HEMELB.C. Local News

Three venomous Chinese Mountain Pit Vipers were seized in a package at the Canada Post distribution centre in Richmond last week.

The package origi-nated in China and was earmarked for Manito-ba.

“These snakes can be very dangerous and no anti-venom exists in Canada for this species of snake,” said B.C. Con-servation Officer Service deputy chief Chris Doyle Friday.

Two of the snakes were found dead, while a third escaped its con-tainment crate and was loose in the outer box, Doyle said.

Conservation offi-cers were able to safely capture the snake.

“We don’t often see

this type of violation where these types of snakes are caught in transit,” Doyle said, add-ing it is an offence in B.C. to possess con-trolled alien species that are dangerous to the public. “This is probably a first where one has been intercepted in the mail.”

He did not immedi-ately reveal whether anyone is facing charges or what would hap-pened to the snake.

No one was hurt.In his news confer-

ence on human wildlife conflicts in the province, Doyle also said conser-vation officers are inves-tigating after a grizzly bear caught in one of their traps was recently released by an unknown person at Good Hope Lake, northeast of Dease Lake in northern B.C.

Officers had planned

to relocate the bear to prevent further conflicts with people.

“Although the people may have been trying to give the bear a break, this may mean the bear is going to be more diffi-cult to catch,” he said. And if it encounters people again, he added, conservation officers may have to destroy it.

Conservation officer Matthew Corbett said residents of the Good Hope Lake, a communi-ty of about 50 people, described the grizzly as sickly and skinny—which might make it more dangerous—and reported it on Tuesday roaming the residential area, leaving paw prints on windows.

Unhealthy bears will look for an easy food source, like garbage, and disregard their fear of humans.

The bear trap was set at 2 p.m., and the bear was trapped inside less than three hours later, according to residents who snapped pictures of the bear. But by the time Corbett got there, the bear was gone, and no bear has ever es-caped this type of trap on its own, he said.

Officers are continu-ing to investigate who was behind the release.

Meanwhile Corbett hopes the stress of being trapped sent the bear running, and it won’t re-turn.

The picture on the provincial level was more rosy.

Overall, human en-counters with bears and cougars were down compared to a year ago, with June having some of the lowest numbers since the recording of these statistics began.

It’s too early to say why the numbers de-creased, Doyle said.

But he suggested the wetter weather and cooler temperatures

may be helping, result-ing in more available vegetation, and berries ripening at a normal rate.

If the rest of summer features a mix of sun and rain, he said, that should result in fewer conflicts in many areas.

C ANADIAN PRESSVANCOUVER—Brit-

ish Columbia’s highest court has upheld the conviction of an RCMP constable found guilty of perjury following the death of Robert Dz-iekanski.

The British Colum-bia Court of Appeal says the trial judge made no error in assessing the evidence against Kwesi Millington.

Millington was sen-tenced to 30-months in prison for testimony he gave to the Braidwood inquiry examining the October 2007 death of Dziekanski, who was jolted multiple times with a Taser at Vancou-ver’s airport.

Millington and for-mer corporal Benjamin (Monty) Robinson were found guilty of colluding to make up testimony

about the police actions.Dziekanski was

felled by the Taser mo-ments after Millington, Robinson and two other officers arrived at the airport in response to reports of a distraught man.

Robinson was sen-tenced last July to two years less a day, one year of probation and 240 hours of community for perjury.

MARTIN VAN DEN HEMELB.C. Local News

A Vancouver high school teacher who showed a Grade 10 class profanity-laced and sex-ually suggestive music videos has been sus-pended for five days and must now complete a ‘respectful boundaries” remedial course.

Details about the conduct of teacher Cory Ray Steeves are con-tained in a report by the B.C. Commissioner for Teacher Regulation.

Last September, Steeves was teaching an English class about the use of satire in music videos when he showed two, “Big Bad Wolf” by Duck Sauce, and “I’m on a Boat” by Lonely Is-land, the report said.

Any user wanting to view the “Big Bad Wolf” on YouTube must sign in on the website to con-firm they are at least 18 years old, and are warned it may be inap-propriate.

The video depicts people with human heads in the place of their genitalia, and in-cludes numerous sexu-ally suggestive scenes, as well as urination. “I’m on a Boat” consists primarily of profanity, and was also shown by Steeves to his Grade 12 English class while teaching a unit on satire.

Before showing the videos, Steeves told his class the videos could be offensive to some, and if they wanted to leave, they could. One student left the room.

The Vancouver

School District sus-pended Steeves without pay for five days last De-cember.

Steeves acknowl-edged his actions, ad-mitted they constituted professional miscon-duct, and agreed to a reprimand.

He’s also agreed to complete a Justice Insti-tute of B.C. course, Re-inforcing Respectful Professional Boundar-ies, by Sept. 30. If he doesn’t complete the course, his teaching cer-tificate may be suspend-ed until he does.

Steeves also agreed not to make any state-ment verbally or in writ-ing, contradicting, dis-puting or questioning the terms of the consent resolution agreement he signed last month.

Vancouver teacher suspended for showing suggestive music videos

TOM FLETCHERB.C. Local News

A former ministerial assistant to Transporta-tion Minister Todd Stone has been fined $2,500 after pleading guilty to two charges for his role in a complaint about deleted govern-ment emails.

George Gretes was charged under the Free-dom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for “willfully making false statements to mis-lead, or attempt to mis-lead” the Information and Privacy Commis-sioner.

Commissioner Eliza-beth Denham referred the case to police after Gretes testified in her investigation that he

didn’t delete a series of emails from a subordi-nate’s computer during a search in response to a freedom of information request.

Gretes resigned in October 2015 when Denham released her report on the 2014 inci-dent, which found that Gretes had used anoth-er employee’s computer to “triple delete” a series of emails.

Stone has maintained that the deleted emails were not the official re-cords dealing with com-munity meetings about improving travel options along Highway 16 in northern B.C., which was the subject of the FOI request. The minis-try has since released hundreds of pages of re-

cords about the project.The incident prompt-

ed Premier Christy Clark to order all political staff in the government to keep all emails as the procedure for handling electronic communica-tions is updated.

Former privacy com-missioner David Lou-kidelis reviewed the case and recommended that non-partisan public servants should decide what records should be kept and what can be destroyed as duplicate or transitory messages.

Loukidelis warned that with hundreds of millions of emails sent and received each year, trying to evaluate every message would cause the B.C. government to “grind to a halt.”

Former B.C. staffer fined on ‘triple delete’ offences
