It’s back to the draw-ing board in Cranbrook’s search for a new city chief.
The City of Cran-brook has been looking for a Chief Administra-tive Officer (CAO) since May, but the first round of applications failed to produce the right can-didate.
“We conducted phone interviews with seven candidates, and an in-person interview with one candidate. Fol-lowing these interviews, mayor and council did not find a suitable can-didate and has decided not to proceed with any applicants from the in-itial posting for the CAO position,” said Drew
Miller, the city’s human resources manager.
Former CAO Will Pearce vacated the pos-ition at the end of May to take a position in Ver-non. He had been in the city’s top job for eight years.
The city received 33 applications in the first round of the job post-ing, but ultimately de-cided not to proceed with any of those candi-dates.
“We will be reposting the position in Septem-ber, and will continue with the recruitment process through the fall,” said Miller.
In the meantime, the city’s Director of Fi-nance Wayne Staudt has been appointed Acting CAO.

The circumstances – combination of rain soaked soils and extreme wind – under which so many trees were damaged around the City of Cranbrook during the severe windstorm of Friday July 20, 2012 are
considered rare. As a result, the
situation regarding trees, both on private and public property and the responsibility for those trees has become a topic of discussion around the community.

THE SIGNS, THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’: It’s the Rec Plex no more. A crew from Selkirk Signs were busy Wednesday removing the old sign and preparing to install a new one at Western Financial Place, Cranbrook’s newly named recreational complex. The Alberta-based sponsor, affiliated with Falkins Insurance, won naming rights for 10 years with a $750,000 bid. See TREES , Page 3

VANCOUVER — Brit-ish Columbia Finance Minister Kevin Falcon is quitting his cabinet post and won’t run in next May’s election, leaving a hole in the faltering Lib-eral government that some supporters worry will be difficult to fill.
Falcon, whose wife is due to have another child in February, told a gathering of reporters Wednesday he didn’t want to be preparing a budget while welcoming a new baby.
Falcon said he’ll be pursuing opportunities in the private sector — he insisted he doesn’t have anything lined up yet — because it will allow him more time with his family.
“For me, as still a young person with some opportunities that might avail themselves in the private sector, I’d like to
Kevin Falcon says he’s stepping down

British Columbia Finance Minister Kevin Falcon pauses while announcing he is stepping down from his cabinet post and that he won’t seek re-election, during a news conference in Vancouver, B.C., on Wednesday, August 29.
B.C. Finance Minister to quit post and won’t be running againhave a little more work-life balance, and I think I can achieve that with a private-sector job more so than continuing in the public sector,’’ Fal-con told a news confer-ence.
Falcon has been sig-nalling since last spring he was reconsidering his future after getting mar-ried and becoming the father of a daughter. He announced Wednesday he and his wife are ex-pecting their second child.
The Liberals have been badly slipping in the polls ahead of the May 2013 provincial election, with growing support for the NDP ex-acerbated by the Liberal party’s right-of-centre supporters fleeing to the fledgling B.C. Conserva-tives.
Falcon bristled at the suggestion he was es-
caping a sinking ship.“When people have
been in public life for 10, 12, 15, 16 years, you can’t say that, because they’re leaving, they’re jumping ship,’’ he said, while re-affirming his support for the premier.
“I am a strong sup-porter of the premier and I am a strong sup-per of government. One of the things I believe is very important in poli-tics is loyalty. I remain very loyal to our former premier and I remain loyal to this premier.’’
Falcon, who was first elected to the legislature in 2001, ran unsuccess-fully for the Liberal party leadership. He repeat-edly criticized Clark be-cause she wouldn’t com-mit to running in a pro-vincial election even if she didn’t win the lead-ership contest.
But that was then.
“Circumstances have changed,’’ he said. “I’ve now got an additional baby on the way, a baby that’s being delivered in February, and that means I now have two very young children, and to continue on in the role would mean a lot of time away from the family.’’
Clark quickly issued a statement describing Falcon as “the hardest working finance minis-ter in the country,’’ and she thanked him for helping B.C. retain its triple-A credit rating, “despite the worst global recession in genera-tions.’’
Clark once quit poli-tics herself for family reasons.
“I know how hard it can be to balance the needs and aspirations of family life while wanting to serve publicly,’’ she
said in her statement. “I wish Kevin and his grow-ing family continued success and happiness and thank him for his incredible tenure.’’
Shirley Bond, who is already justice minister and attorney general, will take over as acting finance minister.
Even before news about a new baby, Fal-con had been musing publicly about his fu-ture.
“I care a lot about the (Liberal) party,’’ he said last March at the legisla-ture.
“I’ve invested a lot of time in it. But I also care a lot about my family. I have a young child at home. Before I make a major decision like that, I want to make sure I spend the time thinking about it and talking to my family and thinking about our future.’’
Each resident is responsible for trees on their own private property and are encouraged to have a professional arborist assess and/or remove trees if there is concern around safety and potential property damage should a tree come down.
It is the responsibility of residents to talk to their neighbours when it comes to concerns around neighbourhood trees.
Ownership of the tree is determined at ground level. Private trees are those that have 51 percent or more of their diameter on the private side of the property line and City-owned trees are those that have 51 per cent or more of the trunk diameter on the City side of the property line.
If you are unsure as to the ownership of a tree(s), please refer to your property survey, usually found with your home purchase documents.
It is also recommended to review your home insurance policy around damage to property or adjacent properties sustained from falling trees or other tree debris like branches, etc.
The City of Cranbrook Public Works department has a professional arborist on staff, who assesses trees, conducts trimming
and oversees the removal of diseased, dying, dead or dangerous trees as required exclusively on City owned property.
The City is also responsible for the care and maintenance of all public trees that line our streets, trees that are in parks and trees along boulevards.
Public Works is not allowed to access any private property and does not have the authority to remove trees from private property.
There are three businesses in the city that specialize in the assessment and removal of trees from private property. Those businesses can be found in the yellow pages.
Currently the City of Cranbrook does not have a tree bylaw. The goal of such a bylaw, if there is one drafted, would be to ensure the provision of a sustainable, healthy urban tree canopy within the City of Cranbrook and would certainly protect the old healthy trees in this community.
The City of Cranbrook values and supports a diverse and healthy urban forest. The City has an Urban Forest Management Plan in place since 2008, which has 821 trees listed (most likely more now) and the value of that public tree inventory is $1,849,910.
Trees on your property are your responsibility, City of Cranbrook saysContinued from page 1

VANCOUVER — Government workers in B.C. have staged several small-scale strikes over the sum-mer, but next week they plan to go all out.
The union representing the workers says the entirety of its 27,000 members will stage a one-day strike on Sept. 5.
Officials with the B.C. Govern-ment and Service Employees’ Union say they will be joined by select Insurance Corporation of B.C. workers in the walkout.
There’s been little progress in ongoing negotiations between the province and union for a new col-lective agreement.
Smaller groups of unionized
workers have already held brief strikes over the summer, including staff at the forests ministry earlier this month and those at several li-quor distribution branches in July.
The union has rejected a two-year, 3.5 per cent wage increase proposal made by the govern-ment.
BCGEU plans strike next week

If you are hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to see Dr. Jane Goodall, world-re-nowned primatologist and wildlife conserva-tionist, you’ll have to act soon.
The Columbia Basin Environmental Educa-tion Network (CBEEN) reported that over half of the tickets are now sold for her public ‘Reason for Hope’ presentation taking place at Key City Theatre in Cranbrook on the evening of Septem-ber 30. Following the presentation, Dr. Good-all will be available for a question and answer pe-riod and a book signing.
“Given that this is Dr. Goodall’s debut in the Kootenays and one of
the most affordable tick-et prices in her entire North American tour, we aren’t surprised that tick-ets are going so quickly,” said Duncan Whittick, CBEEN’s Executive Di-rector. “We have had quite a few very interest-ing inquiries, including a mother in Vancouver who is making the trip for her 8-year old daugh-ter to hear Dr. Goodall, a teacher from Selkirk Col-lege who is hoping to bring her entire college class, and a teacher from Albuquerque, New Mex-ico who is making the trip to hear her lifelong hero.”
CBEEN has also orga-nized a school presenta-tion on October 1 where Dr. Goodall will intro-duce her ‘Roots and

Shoots’ program. A se-lect group of Grade 5 and 6 students from School Districts 5 and 6 will be selected to hear her speak about her be-ginnings as a young sci-entist and how that has transformed her into an renowned wildlife con-servationist and human-
itarian. Dr. Goodall will also
be meeting with local environmental educa-tors and teachers at CBEEN’s annual ‘Voices for Sustainability’ sym-posium. Participants will have the exclusive op-portunity to ask Dr. Goodall questions about
her environmental edu-cation programs as well as discuss their develop-ment here in the Colum-bia Basin.

PAGE 6 THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 2012 DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN
In the spring of 1605 Spain launched the Tierra Firme Armada — a fleet of 19 ships
headed for the Americas. Most of them didn’t make it. A series of freak hurricanes left the majority of the ships, their crew and trea-sures at the bottom of the ocean. The fleet also car-ried another treasure no one would have recog-nized as such at the time. Amongst all the gold, sil-ver, and jewels being brought to the New World, was a number of crates containing the first printing of the first edition of a book titled “Don Quixote” — one of the greatest books in history.
“The Life and Deeds of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha” was written by Miguel de Cervantes, a Spanish dramatist and poet. Raised in poverty by a deaf surgeon, Cervantes sought a career as a soldier, until he had his left hand maimed during the Otto-man-Venetian Wars. Setting his sights on a literary career, he saw much of his work published, but none of it would have the far-reaching global impact “Don Quixote” had. 400 years after it first appeared, “Don Quixote” would be dubbed the “best book ever” by a panel of prominent writ-ers from 54 different countries.
Oddly, it is a book about the dangers of reading.
A Spanish nobleman becomes so ob-sessed with the ‘knight in shining armor on a quest’ type of novels popular at the
time, that he begins to confuse his read-ing with reality. Setting out on his own knight’s quest leads to a series of bizarre and comic adventures; the most promi-nent one being when he is thinks he is
being attacked by giant ogres; in reality, he is only tilting at windmills.
The novel ends with Quixote returning to his home. Cervantes states the hero had more adventures, but those have been lost.
“The Second Volume of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha,” — a direct sequel to the first book, was published in 1614. The only problem was it wasn’t written by Cer-vantes. This sequel was an illegal edition written by someone named Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda — a mysterious person no historian has been able to identify.
Upset by the amateurish quality of this new book, Cervantes wrote his own se-quel, which appeared the following year. Simply known as “Don Quixote Part Two,” today the books are typically published together as one volume.
An odd thing occurs in Cervantes’ new book, when Quixote stumbles upon a print shop in Barcelona. Here he finds the shop owner hard at work printing the il-legal Avellaneda edition. For the first time in Western literature, a character has be-come aware that he is being written about. This literary device would not gain prominence until the 20th century; the book was centuries ahead of its time.
Cervantes never made much money from any of his writings, and neither did his publisher. The first book printed in 1605 only had a print run of a few hun-dred, most of which went down with the Spanish fleet. Thankfully, historians have discovered that 72 of them made it ashore in Peru. But where are they now? What happened to them?

OpiniOn/EvEnts
“A defeatist position (in Afghanistan) is not possible for us. We cannot leave in our underpants ... or with-
out any.” That was Mikhail Gorbachev ad-dressing senior Soviet officers in 1987, two years before the Soviets pulled out. Two years before NATO pulls out, the same fran-tic search is underway for something that could be called a victory, or at least “peace with honour”. Mean-while, NATO soldiers die, to-gether with many more Af-ghans.
The French are smart: all their troops will be gone from Afghanistan by the end of this year. The Canadians were even smarter: almost all their troops left last year. But the rest of the NATO countries dumbly soldier on to-wards the scheduled departure date of 2014, even though the situation is clearly spinning out of control: one-quarter of the 48 Western troops killed in Afghanistan this August were murdered by Afghan gov-ernment soldiers.
The most striking thing about these so-called “green-on-blue” killings, according to a 2011 Pentagon analysis reported by Bloomberg, is that only 11 per cent of them are the result of infiltration by the Taleban. Most of them are due to grudges or dis-putes between coalition and Afghan army troops, which suggests that NATO’s current focus on training Afghan forces to “stand up” on their own is just as futile as all its previous strategies.
Last year a team of U.S. Army psycholo-gists investigated the nature of these grudges and quarrels, conducting inter-views with dozens of American and Afghan focus groups. Their report, “A Crisis of Trust and Cultural Incompatibility”, concluded
that the Afghan troops see the American soldiers as “a bunch of violent, reckless, intrusive, arrogant, self-serving, profane infidel bullies hiding behind high technol-ogy.”
The U.S. troops, in return, generally view their Afghan allies as “a bunch of cow-
ardly, incompetent, obtuse, thieving, complacent, lazy, pot-smoking, treacherous and murderous radicals.” This does not constitute the foundation for a suc-cessful collaboration.
The view of the Afghan soldiers is more positive,
despite all that, than the civilian popula-tion’s attitude towards the foreign forces. A poll conducted in late 2010 by the Afghan Centre for Socio-Economic Research re-ported that nearly sixty percent of civilians wanted all the foreign soldiers gone within a year. Forty percent would still want the foreigners out even if their departure meant that the violence got worse.
There is some evidence that the Taleban themselves don’t really believe that either. They remember that even when a Taleban government ruled in Kabul in 1996-2001, they never succeeded in extending their authority to the northern parts of the coun-try where the non-Pashtun minorities live — and taken together, those minorities ac-count for sixty percent of the population.
In an interview published in the “New Statesman” last month, a senior Taleban commander known as “Mawlvi” told Mi-chael Semple, a former United Nations envoy to Kabul during the period of Tale-ban rule, that “the balance of power in the Afghan conflict is obvious. It would take some kind of divine intervention for the Taleban to win this war.”
The foreigners have lost their war, but the Taleban, still overwhelmingly Pashtun, will not be able to defeat all the other eth-nic groups in the civil war that follows NATO’s departure. In fact, they won’t even do as well as they did in the similar civil war after the Soviet withdrawal in 1989: “The Taleban capturing Kabul is a very distant prospect,” Mawlvi said.
He may be wrong about that. His as-sumption is that after the foreigners leave the Afghan army, which is overwhelmingly recruited from the non-Pashtun groups, will break apart into the same Tajik, Uzbek and Hazara militias that thwarted the Tale-ban’s drive to control all of Afghanistan after the Soviets left.
But those ethnic militias no longer exist, and their former commanders have grown fat and corrupt in the service of the for-eigners. It might prove impossible to re-build them fast enough to thwart a post-occupation drive by the Taleban to seize the whole country – although they would probably be unable to hold the non-Pash-tun areas in the long run.
The Taleban have won their war against the foreign occupiers, but they probably won’t win a decisive victory in the civil war that follows. And the only remaining way that the foreigners could still influence the outcome would be to dump their puppet president, Hamid Karzai, and start rebuild-ing the ethnic militias now.
They won’t do that, so their continued military presence over the next two years is irrelevant to the ultimate outcome. And public opinion in Afghanistan is turning against them so fast that they might still end up leaving without their underpants.

“We’re the mothers, we’re the wives, we’re the grandmoth-ers, we’re the big sisters, we’re
the little sisters,” the red-dressed woman on the stage was crowing, but the most notorious female politician in American history — the pit bull in crude-oil lipstick who energized and scandalized the party four years ago — was not present, not mentioned, and, at this Republican Na-tional Convention at least, not officially missed.
America’s erstwhile would-be national wife, grandmother, big sister, little sister and hockey mom has become Republi-cana non grata, big time.
“Where’s Sarah Palin?” I asked the first member of the Alaska delegation I could corral, down on the carpeted floor of the Tampa Bay Lightning’s home ice.
“She’s playing a very important role trying to get conservative, pro-life candi-dates elected to Congress,” a woman from Anchorage said. (In fact, while the ner-vous, likable Ann Romney was preaching to us about how loving and giving and funny and normal is her husband, Mitt, Sarah Palin was in Arizona, her new semi-home state, helping Tea Party types cam-paign for a primary. Sen. John McCain was to briefly address the convention on Wednesday, his 76th birthday.)
“Are you running for Congress?” I won-dered, back in Tampa.
“No,” the woman replied. “I’m a doc-tor.”
She was Dr. Ilona Farr, a Sourdough for more than 50 of her years, a skier, canoe-ist, kayaker, self-described “fisherwom-an,” family practitioner, and single mom of three teenage Alaskans. Muscular and confident, Farr was Palin without the spiked heels and the $150,000 expense ac-count. In fact, she was griping about hav-ing to pay $90 to taxi herself to the con-vention from her delegation’s hotel in re-mote Saint Petersburg Beach.
“I travel a lot,” Farr was saying, “and everywhere I go, whether it’s in this coun-try or New Zealand - everywhere - people don’t ask me about Barack Obama. They ask me about Sarah Palin.
“They don’t ask me about her because they want to make fun of her. They want to tell me how much she is respected be-cause of her Christian faith. She is a very positive influence throughout the world.”
“Do you think John McCain lost the presidency because of Sarah Palin?” I asked the physician from the Last Fron-tier.
“I think he got more votes because of her,” Farr replied.
Farr was not in the arena in St. Paul, Minn., four summers ago, when Palin butt-ended the Democrats as out-of-touch, handout-happy, defeatist, we-hate-America pansies who probably think that Vincent Lecavalier was one of the Three Musketeers.
“What does he actually seek to accom-plish, after he’s done turning back the waters and turning the planet,” she cracked of Obama then, to thundering
cheers. “The answer is to make govern-ment bigger, and take more of your money!”
Four years later, issues, not Favourite Daughter swoons and chants of “Drill, baby, drill!” energize Team Alaska. Farr said that she became inspired to activism by the passage of the Obamacare legisla-tion, a bill that, she claimed, “is basically going to drive all of us who practice medi-cine out of business.”
Planted at the far, far rear of the con-vention floor, behind North Dakota and further from the rostrum than Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Alas-kans are considerably less conspicuous here than they were in Sarah’s day. Palin could have done the legwork to serve as a delegate herself, but, as the state’s Repub-lican party chairman, Randy Ruedrich, told me, “She didn’t participate in any of our process.”
Ruedrich, an oil-drilling man, allowed that Palin’s fame and infamy might have led to a small spike in tourism — “Maybe some folks saw her and decided to take that trip they’d always dreamt of” — but that blip had been snowed under by the Great Recession anyway.
“Since she left, her lieutenant-governor has been trying to fix some of the things that she did,” Ruedrich noted.
“Do you think John McCain lost the Presidency because of Sarah Palin?” I asked him.
“I don’t think he had a prayer to begin with,” the chairman said.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor
Kootenay Ice train-ing camp has officially begun as prospects and veterans begin a five-day process to convince management that they deserve a spot on the 2012/13 roster.
The Ice have 17 re-turning players at camp but 47 prospects will also be hanging around the arena to showcase their abilities to head coach Ryan McGill and his assistants.
The day started with registration in the morning, before veter-ans and prospects took to the ice in separate sessions. Goaltending coach Justin Cardinal took a look at his six netminders in the af-ternoon before another prospects scrimmage wrapped things up.
McGill led the vet-eran practice, which included a few alumni pros such as Cody Eakin, Adam Cracknell and Brayden McNabb, who’ve made the trip to Cranbrook to get in some ice time before their AHL pro camps begin.
Ice general manager
Jeff Chynoweth joined his head coach and a few scouts during the goaltending session to observe the six stop-pers, which included Mackenzie Skapski, the heir apparent to Na-than Lieuwen’s starting job.
While camp official-ly began on Wednesday, many players have been in town for the last week or so getting adjusted to their new surroundings and billet families. One such player is Jordyn Boyd, an 18-year-old left winger who was traded to the Ice for a draft pick at the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft.
Boyd is coming off his inaugural season in the WHL with the Ever-ett Silvertips, where he played 53 games and tallied seven goals and four assists for 11 points.
Boyd, a Winnipeg-ger, got familiar with the Ice through the help of Jon Martin, as the two grew up in the same part of the city in Manitoba. Boyd’s roommate, Tanner Muth, has also helped him acclimatize to his
new atmosphere.Chynoweth said at
the time of the trade that the Ice had their eye on Boyd in the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft, but Everett got to him first before Kootenay could select him.
However, the trade, which brought Boyd to the Ice for their fifth-round pick gives Boyd a fresh start and bolsters the experience of a young forward core.
“I was actually pret-ty excited,” Boyd said, of the trade. “Last year in Everett, it was a kind of getting my feet wet kind of year and know-ing that we weren’t hav-ing many forwards leaving, it was good coming in here know-ing that I can maybe play a top three line so I was happy with the trade.
“It was a learning year for myself and hopefully I can come in here and be an impact player.”
While much ado has been made about the 20-year-old situation, with five players com-peting for three spots, there is also a solid group of 19-year-olds in Erik Benoit, Muth and Jagger Dirk who will look to step into
leadership roles.“We’re going to have
a younger group of guys this year,” Benoit said. “We’re going to have a lot of 16- and 17-year-olds coming in and we just got to try to lead the way for them
and to step into that leadership role is key.”
Benoit, a left winger, is entering his third year with the Ice, and will push hard for a top-six position after spending last year on the third unit.
“A new coaching staff, you have to make an impression,” said Benoit. “You don’t know what they’re going to be like and you don’t know what they’re going to be like on you so there’s always that
big first impression.”The first intrasquad
game of the camp be-gins on Thursday at 11 a.m. at Western Finan-cial Place. All games and practices over the next few days are open to the public.

NHLPA to make counter-proposal by FridayCHRIS JOHNSTON
Canadian Press
NEW YORK - There is no new deal on the hori-zon in the NHL’s collec-tive bargaining talks.
One day after receiv-ing a proposal from the league that commission-er Gary Bettman labelled “meaningful” and “sig-
nificant,” the NHL Play-ers’ Association made it clear Wednesday that it didn’t share that view.
Donald Fehr, the NHLPA’s executive direc-tor, took issue with the fact the offer included a reduction in the players’ share of revenue to 46 per cent - when factor-ing in changes to how hockey-related revenue is calculated - and said it would see the amount of money players give up to escrow increase “signifi-cantly.”
As a result, the union concluded the proposal wouldn’t actually see current contracts paid out in full.
“From a players’ standpoint, you should understand, it doesn’t make much of a differ-ence,” said Fehr. “Should the player not get the dollar value that is on his contract because there is a rollback, which is sim-
ply a name for crossing out one number and writing in another, or whether he doesn’t get an amount because there is escrow, he still doesn’t get it.
“It amounts to the same thing.”
The union plans to deliver a counter-pro-posal by the end of the week, perhaps as soon as Thursday.
With a Sept. 15 dead-line for a lockout creep-ing closer, progress would be made if the two sides could simply start speaking the same lan-guage. Case in point: the calculation of hockey-related revenue - or HRR - which has emerged as a sticking point in talks.
That number is cur-rently used to determine the salary cap, with play-ers receiving 57 per cent, and the NHL has pro-posed changes that would reduce the total
pot available. According to a source, the league would like minor-league salaries to count as an expense and believes caps should be removed on revenue-generating activities such as conces-sions, among other things.
“What we’re trying to do with the definition of changes is better reflect the reality,” said Bett-man.
Fehr believes the changes have served to complicate negotiations.
The proposal the league tabled Tuesday called for revenues to be split 50-50 for the final three years. However, by the union’s calculations, the actual number play-ers would end up receiv-ing is equivalent to 46 per cent under the cur-rent system - a claim Bettman acknowledged to be “in the ballpark.”
With the ambiguity
created by the redefini-tion of HRR, not to men-tion a smaller pot of money to draw salaries from, the players are calling for the status quo.
“From our side, it’s better to leave things the same because everyone understands what they mean and everyone un-derstands what the ef-fect is,” said Fehr. “It makes it much easier that way.”
Nothing is coming easy in these negotia-tions.
Bettman and Fehr were surprisingly candid with reporters Wednes-day as each discussed specific aspects of the NHL’s latest proposal, some of which had al-ready been leaked out to the media. They both showed a desire to try and shape the larger public discussion around the talks.

SportSStephen Hawking featured in London Paralympic opening cermonies
Sheila NormaN-CulpAssociated Press
LONDON - “Enlight-enment” was the theme, physicist Stephen Hawking the guide and Olympic Stadium the venue Wednesday night as London welcomed 4,200 athletes from more than 160 nations to the 2012 Paralympic Games.
Who better to greet Paralympians than a scientist who has shown the world that physical
disabilities do not limit human potential?
“Even if we do find a complete theory of ev-erything, it is just a set of rules and equations,” said Hawking, who was given two years to live in 1963 after he was diag-nosed with motor neu-rone disease. “What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?”
The extravaganza, directed by Bradley
Hemmings and Jenny Sealey, was billed as a voyage across “a sea of ideas” - including Isaac Newton’s discovery of gravity, which all Earth-bound athletes strive against. The show in-cluded 73 deaf and dis-abled professional per-formers and 68 disabled people among its 3,250 volunteers.
The gala opened with a look at the Big Bang - considered the begin-ning of the universe - as
a glowing sphere turned the stadium into a giant nebula.
In a nod to the fa-mously erratic British weather, umbrellas were a central theme. Seeing performers with no legs beneath the knee doing aerial flips carrying um-brellas could inspire the most ardent couch po-tato.
A huge roar filled the stadium as the South African team entered for flagbearer Oscar Pis-
torius, the sprinter who is making history by running in both the Olympics and the Para-lympics this year. Glit-tery ticker tape and a standing ovation then greeted the host British team as they entered to the David Bowie song “Heroes.”
Athletes paraded by in dozens of ways. Some came in motorized carts, others wheeled themselves in, still oth-ers were pushed by
coaches or volunteers. They walked in with canes or crutches, eye patches and sunglasses, prosthetic limbs and walking sticks, deter-mined to make it around the imposing stadium, welcomed by a global music mash-up by local DJs.
Led by flag bearer Garett Hickling, some 85 Canadian athletes marched in after Cam-eroon and ahead of Cape Verde.
Hicking, a 41-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., will represent Canada in wheelchair rugby at a fifth Paralympic Games. Canada has 145 athletes seeking medals in 15 of the 20 Paralympic sports.
The team’s objective is a top-eight finish in gold medals won. Cana-da was seventh four years ago in Beijing with 19 gold.
Blind soprano De-nise Leigh then sang the Paralympic tribute song “Spirit in Motion.”
And of course, this being Britain, the words of Shakespeare once again were to make an
appearance, with both Miranda of “The Tem-pest” and British actor Ian McKellen announc-ing that “the greatest adventure is what lies ahead.”
That, over the next 11 days, includes Para-lympic athletes com-peting in 20 sports, in-cluding archery, cycling, rowing, equestrian, sail-ing, sitting volleyball, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair tennis and wheelchair basketball.
In the ceremony, Hawking directed the fictional Miranda to “be curious” - and the sta-dium was transformed into a giant blinking eye. Along her travels, the curious Miranda was to navigate a maze to find an apple - and everyone in the stadium was given the fruit as they entered and en-couraged to take a bite out of the fruit when she did.
Other performers in-cluded soprano Elin Manahan Thomas, Bev-erley Knight, the British dance group Flawless and six London-based choirs.
Clijsters’ singles career ends after
US Open losshoward FeNdriCh
Associated Press
NEW YORK - Kim Cli-jsters’ singles career ended where she wanted it to, just not the way she hoped.
The four-time Grand Slam champion lost 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5) to 18-year-old Laura Robson of Britain in the second round of the U.S. Open on Wednesday, and will head into retirement after she finishes playing in doubles at Flushing Meadows.
Clijsters walked away from the sport once be-fore, in May 2007, then returned after a 2 1/2-year hiatus. But now 29 and a mother, the Bel-gian insisted this season that she means it this time, and decided the U.S. Open - and its hard courts that she con-quered on the way to three championships - would be her final tour-nament.
“It’s the place that has inspired me so much to do well and to do great things. It’s hard to ex-
plain sometimes why,” Clijsters said in an on-court interview, her face flushed and her eyes welling with tears.
“This completely feels like the perfect place to retire,” Clijsters told the spectators at Arthur Ashe Stadium, many of whom rose to shower her with a standing ovation. “I just wish it wasn’t today.”
The loss Wednesday ended Clijsters’ 22-match winning streak in New York, encompass-ing titles in 2005, 2009 and 2010, plus Monday’s first-round victory.
She missed the hard-court major in 2004, 2006-08 and last year, thanks to a combination of injuries and the time she took off while start-ing a family. Her daugh-ter, Jada, was born in February 2008. By Au-gust 2009, Clijsters was back on tour; unseeded and unranked, because she only played in two previous tournaments during her comeback, she won that year’s U.S. Open.

If the swarm of young soccer enthusi-asts at Lakeside pitch on Tuesday night is any indication, the new Vancouver Whitecaps FC Academy program is going to be a hit in the West Kootenay.
“I’m really pleased to see so many players out,” said David Broad-hurst, the Whitecaps FC Okanagan head coach. “I wasn’t expect-ing to see close to a 100 players, it’s fantastic. It’s great to see that there is interest here in the Kootenays for what we are trying to offer.”
The academy’s aim is to give players that are already with clubs in the East and West Kootenay supplemen-tal training with the best coaching the prov-ince has to offer. The academy will include
four age groups for both girls and boys: U11/12, U13/14, U15/16 and U17/18.
The Nelson evalua-tion session earlier this week included players from Nelson, Trail, Castlegar, Grand Forks and everywhere in be-tween.
Three years ago the Whitecaps moved their first academy program outside the Lower Mainland to Vernon. Broadhurst runs the program there and has already seen plenty of success. The move into the Kootenay is the first push farther into BC’s hinterland.
“I think Dave [Spendlove] and [Nel-son’s] Soccer Quest have done a great job in this community,” Broadhurst told the Star when asked about why there was such a positive turnout for the
first sessions. “Their reputation is good and the small pieces of work we have done with them in previous years, the message is getting out that we are going to be here for the long run.”
The program runs for seven months start-ing in September and ending in April (there is a two month winter break in December and January). The training includes eight weekends at Nelson’s Soccer Quest indoor facility. Four travel events per age group will also be part of the academy.
Based on the evalu-ations on Tuesday and Wednesday night at Lakeside, those players accepted into the pro-gram will be notified and begin their train-ing next month.
“As a club we are
completely committed to player development, it’s crucial for us to survive,” Broadhurst said of the motivation for the Whitecaps to extend their reach. “As a club, the dream is to have homegrown tal-ent, even on our first
team… that is what the fans want and the own-ers would love to see it. The more work we can do in the smaller dis-tricts, working with the coaches and the play-ers, it will benefit our program in the long run.”

Starting on September 1, 2012, the City will only collect a maximum of three (3) garbage receptacles per week per household. City Council approved the amendment to the Solid Waste Collection bylaw at their regular meeting of August 13. The intent of the amendments to the bylaw is to further encourage recycling and composting thereby reducing the amount of garbage required to be disposed of each week.
The Solid Waste Collection and Disposal bylaw also limits the size of receptacles (either containers or bags) to 100 litres and receptacles cannot weigh more than 20 kilograms each. Garbage containers are to have a water tight cover and smooth rim, must be in good structural
and sanitary condition and have fi xed handles. Plastic bags are to be securely tied closed at the top and be strong enough to withstand normal handling and lifting.For more information about solid waste pickup, your scheduled collection dates or to review the Solid Waste Collection and Disposal bylaw, visit the City of Cranbrook website at www.cranbrook.ca, click on the ‘Residents’ tab, and click ‘Solid Waste Pickup’.

Sex recruiters could prowl B.C. university campusesC ANADIAN PRESS
VICTORIA — B.C.’s advanced education minister has warned post-secondary schools in the province to keep an eye open for the adult entertainment industry.
Naomi Yamamoto says she’s concerned re-cruiters may target stu-dents on university and college campuses in their hunt for new em-
ployees.The minister has sent
a letter to B.C. institu-tions outlining her fears that recruiters will at-tempt to set-up booths at post-secondary job fairs this fall.
She says her infor-mation comes after a series of news stories out of Windsor, Ont. about the trend.
The government
notes that during the spring, the sex industry suggested it would re-cruit near Vancouver public schools.
At the time, school board officials put out the message that public educational facilities are not an appropriate venue to recruit adult entertainment industry workers.
Oncologist awarded after investigation launched
C ANADIAN PRESS
PRINCE GEORGE – A Prince George oncol-ogist who left his post due to a provincial investigation has earned an award for his work.
Doctor Suresh Kat-akkar has been named
compassionate doctor by a U.S. patients’ group based on online voting conducted amongst millions of people.
Katakkar was to be the chief oncologist at the soon-to-open B-C Cancer Agency Centre
for the North until an investigation was launched into his prac-tices in May.
The agency con-tends some of the doc-tors’ treatments violat-ed standard protocols for certain types of cancer.
B.C. BriefsRCMP ask for public’s help in missing woman case
C ANADIAN PRESSEDMONTON — An
RCMP task force investi-gating missing women in Alberta hopes a disturb-ing recording of a man’s voice will help them crack a case.
The recording is of a cellphone conversation that Amber Tuccaro re-ceived while she was in a vehicle south of Edmon-ton in August 2010 — the last time she was seen.
Mounties have posted the conversation to a website in the hope that someone will recognize the voice of a man in the vehicle, who police say is a person of interest.
Police warn the con-tent is disturbing. The man assures Tuccaro that the vehicle is headed to Edmonton, but Tuccaro appears increasingly skeptical as the conver-sation continues.
“You’d better not be taking me anywhere I don’t want to go,’’ Tucca-ro can be heard telling

the man. “I want to go into the city.’’
“We are, we’re going,’’ the man responds.
“We’re not going into the city,’’ Tuccaro says again.
The man continues
to assure Tuccaro that the roads they are taking are headed to the east side of Edmonton. The recording becomes gar-bled as the call fades, but the man can be heard saying “gravel’’ right be-
fore the call cuts out.The recording is post-
ed at www.kare.ca and www.albertamissingper-sons.ca.
Tuccaro, who was 20 at the time and was the mother of a 14-month old, hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
“Please listen to the man’s voice. If you do recognize him, call po-lice,’’ Tuccaro’s mother, Vivian Tuccaro, said at the news conference where police released the recording.
“There are no words to describe the pain our family feels since Am-ber’s disappearance. We are not complete with-out Amber.’’
As the recording was played for reporters, Tuc-caro was overcome with emotion at hearing what’s believed to be her daughter’s last known words and had to leave the room. Police paused the recording until she was gone.

In the role, Ms. Sigurdson is part of a nation-wide network of volunteers who represent MADD Canada and deliver its message and programs to local communities.
“Our Chapters and Community Leaders undertake a diverse range of activities within their communities to help achieve MADD Canada’s mission of stopping impaired driving and supporting the victims of this violent crime,” said MADD Canada National
President Denise Dubyk. “They truly are the heart and soul of our organization. We are proud to welcome Ms. Sigurdson to our amazing and dedicated volunteer team.”
Ms. Sigurdson became involved with MADD Canada after experiencing the loss of friends and family members to drunk driving.
As a new Community Leader, Ms. Sigurdson will focus much of her initial efforts around public awareness and education
initiatives and building partnerships with stakeholder and community organizations with similar goals of ending impaired driving.
About 1,350 and 1,600 Canadians are killed and more than 68,500 are injured as a result of impaired driving crashes.
“These deaths and injuries are completely preventable. They can all be avoided if people do not get behind the wheels of their
vehicles impaired,” Ms. Sigurdson said “I want to be part of the solution and I am confident that Cranbrook and Kimberley will be supportive of the effort to stop these senseless tragedies from occurring on our roads and in our community.”
About MADD Canada
MADD Canada (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is a national, charitable organization that is committed to stopping impaired driving and
supporting victims of this violent crime. With volunteer-driven groups in more than 100 communities across Canada, MADD Canada aims to offer support services to victims, heighten awareness of the dangers of impaired driving and save lives and prevent injuries on our roads.

of responsible drinking icons on beer cases promoting responsible choices in the production and consumption of alcohol.
The first set of icons has recently hit the market, dubbed the Stamp of Responsibility by Molson Coors. The icons are designed to indicate four focus areas of responsibility for the brewer, zero tolerance for drinking and driving, drinking during pregnancy, and underage drinking, as well as the brewer’s sustainability efforts
and commitment to local communities.
“We’re committed to all four of these focus areas, and especially proud of the fourth icon which gives prominence our company’s Beer Print,” said Gavin Thompson, senior director of Public Affairs for Canada’s oldest brewer. “For us, putting this stamp on our beer is the next logical step in our rich tradition of encouraging responsible consumption by consumers, and fostering a
commitment to environmental responsibility in brewing,”
As the summer months approach, people should expect to see more responsible drinking messaging across the beer industry as consumers start flocking to patios, cottages and BBQs.
We know that every day 4 Canadians are killed
and 200 are injured as a result of impaired driving
crashes. Thousands of Canadians are personally
affected each year by impaired driving and
MADD Canada provides support to the victims of

Woman in coma after acid attackC ANADIAN PRESSMONTREAL — A
Quebec woman is in an induced coma and has her face covered in ban-dages after having cor-rosive acid thrown in her face.
More than 4,000 mes-sages of support on Fa-cebook have rolled in for Tanya St-Arnauld.
The 29-year-old St-Arnauld remains in hos-pital with burns to her body.
Police in Longueuil, south of Montreal, ar-rested Nikolas Stefana-tos shortly after the Sun-day morning attack.
Police say Stefanatos is St-Arnauld’s boy-friend.
He appeared in court Monday and was charged with aggravated assault.
A police spokesman says investigators have not yet been able to question St-Arnauld be-cause of her condition.
Stefanatos is to ap-pear in court for a bail hearing on Friday.

NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Isaac began a slow, drenching slog in-land from the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, pushing water over a rural Louisiana levee and stranding some people in homes and cars as the storm spun into a newly fortified New Orleans ex-actly seven years after Katrina.
Although Isaac was much weaker than the 2005 hurricane that crip-pled the city, the threat of dangerous storm surges and flooding from heavy rain was expected to last all day and into the night as the immense comma-shaped storm crawled across Louisi-ana.
Army Corps spokes-woman Rachel Rodi said the city’s bigger, stronger levees were withstand-ing Isaac’s assault.
Rescuers in boats and trucks plucked a handful of people who became stranded by floodwaters in thinly populated areas of southeast Louisiana.
Authorities feared
many more could need help after a night of slashing rain and fierce winds that knocked out power to more than 500,000 people.
The extent of the damage was not entirely clear because officials did not want to send emergency crews into harm’s way. So far, Plaquemines Parish, a fishing community south of New Orleans, seemed to be the hardest hit.
About two dozen people who stayed be-hind despite evacuation orders needed to be res-cued from the east bank of Plaquemines Parish. The flooding appeared to be widespread.
“We’ve got problems all across the south,’’ said Kevin Davis, director of the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Prepared-ness.
Two police officers had to be rescued by boat after their car be-came stuck. Rescuers were waiting for the strong winds to die down before moving out to search for other people.

Thank you for celebrating the opening of the new Ɂaamnik Education Centre. Our unique project
approach meant that we were able to realize our vision of a new educational facility for the 2013 school year. The new 10,000 sq. ft. facility, built by ATCO Structures and Logistics, will replace the existing Ɂaamnik Elementary which off ers fully accredited K-7 instruction. The restricted timeline meant that a non-traditional approach would be required driving the unique project approach taken. The facility was par-tially constructed in a factory located in Aumsville Oregon and then shipped to site in 13 pieces where it was craned onto the foundation and fi nished on site.
The modular construction allowed us to take the project from design to opening in a mere 6 ½ months with the ability to plan for future expansion including a gymna-sium without having to re-work major components of the project.
Thank you to all our project contractors, suppliers and the ATCO Group for
helping to make our project a success. We look forward to showcasing our new facility to the community.TaxaMichelle Shortridge,

Welcome to the Ɂaamnik Elemen-
tary School, a fully ac-credited Independent School providing instruc-tion from Kindergarten to Grade 7 since 1987.Our provincially accred-ited teaching staff strives to provide a safe, car-ing, cultural, and excit-ing educational environ-ment. Our small teacher to student ratio allows us to tailor instruction to the individual student, and ensure all students are meeting or exceeding grade level in literacy and numeracy skills. The use of constant classroom as-sessment drives our teacher’s lessons which allow teachers to focus on student needs and ensure their essential learning skills are met. Some of our exciting and fun regular physical activities include: game activities at the College of the Rockies, swim-ming instruction at the Kimberley Leisure Center, and gymnastic lessons at the Kimberley Gymnastics Club.
Our school calendar is very similar to School District 5 with the only main diff erence being that school is in ses-sion on alternate Fridays. There are no tuition fees at Ɂaamnik and trans-portation for our stu-dents is provided daily to and from the school at no charge. We can also off er parents li-censed after-school care for students.
September 2012 marks an exciting time as we will be moving into the new 10,000 sqft school facility called the Ɂaamnik Education Centre. This new fa-cility is equipped with spacious classrooms, natural light, full accessibility and the latest and greatest school technology.Please do not hesitate to stop by and see our new facilities, or contact me for further information.Michael Derech Principal 250-489-5183 [email protected]

New book raises questions in bin Laden deathKimberly Dozier
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A firsthand account of the commando raid by U.S. Navy SEALs that killed Osama bin Laden con-tradicts previous ac-counts by administra-tion officials, raising questions as to whether the terror mastermind presented a clear threat when SEALs first fired upon him.
Bin Laden apparently was shot in the head when he looked out of his bedroom door into the top-floor hallway of his compound as SEALs rushed up a narrow stairwell in his direction, according to former Navy SEAL Matt Bisson-nette, writing under the pseudonym Mark Owen in ``No Easy Day.’’
Bissonnette says he was directly behind a point man going up the stairs in the pitch black
hallway. Near the top, he said, he heard two shots, but the book doesn’t make it clear who fired them. He wrote that the point man had seen a man peeking out of a door on the right side of the hallway.
The author writes that the man ducked back into his bedroom and the SEALs followed, only to find the man crumpled on the floor in a pool of blood with a hole visible on the right side of his head and two women wailing over his body. Once they wiped the blood off his face, they were certain it was bin Laden.
Bissonnette says the point man pulled the two women out of the way and shoved them into a corner. He and the other SEALs trained their guns’ laser sights on bin Laden’s still-twitching body, shooting him sev-
eral times until he lay motionless. The SEALs later found two weapons stored by the doorway, untouched, the author said.
Administration offi-cials briefing reporters in the days after the May 2011 raid in Pakistan said the SEALs shot bin Laden only after he ducked back into the bedroom because they assumed he might be reaching for a weapon.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor would not comment on the ap-parent contradiction late Tuesday. But he said in an email Wednesday, ``As President Obama said on the night that justice was brought to Osama bin Laden, ‘We give thanks for the men who carried out this op-eration, for they exem-plify the professional-ism, patriotism and un- AP Photo

paralleled courage of those who serve our country.’’’
The account is sure to renew questions about whether the raid was in-tended to capture or simply to kill bin Laden. Bissonnette writes that during a pre-raid brief-ing, an administration lawyer told them that they were not on an as-sassination mission. Ac-cording to Bissonnette, the lawyer said that if bin Laden was ``naked with his hands up,’’ they should not engage him. If bin Laden did not pose a threat, they should de-tain him.
A former deputy judge advocate general for the Air Force said the shooting was under-standable according to the orders the SEALS had.
``It wasn’t unreason-able for the SEALs to shoot the individual who stuck his head out,’’ said retired Maj. Gen. Charlie Dunlap.
``In a confined space like that where it is clear that there are hostiles, the SEALs need to take reasonable steps to en-sure their safety and ac-complish the mission,’’ Dunlap said.
Dunlap adds that shooting bin Laden’s
fallen form was also rea-sonable in his legal opin-ion, to keep the terrorist from possibly blowing himself up or getting a weapon.
In another possibly uncomfortable revela-tion for U.S. officials who say bin Laden’s body was
treated with dignity be-fore being given a full Muslim burial at sea, the author reveals that in the cramped helicopter flight out of the com-pound, one of the SEALs was sitting on bin Lad-en’s chest as the body lay at the author’s feet in the
middle of the cabin, for the short flight to a refu-elling stop inside Paki-stan where a third heli-copter was waiting.
This is common prac-tice, as U.S. troops some-times must sit on their own war dead in packed helicopters.

The general manager of Moncton’s Magnetic Hill Zoo says staff are distraught after a pint-sized primate was nabbed from his cage overnight.
C anadian Press
MONCTON, N.B. — The general manager of a New Brunswick zoo says staff are distraught after a pint-sized pri-mate was nabbed from his cage in an overnight heist.
Bruce Dougan said workers at Moncton’s Magnetic Hill Zoo in-spected the squirrel monkey exhibit Wednes-day morning only to discover that Hercules, the 19-year-old patri-
arch of the group, was missing.
Whoever stole the tiny, black-and-olive coloured animal some-how broke into the zoo and cut through two padlocks to gain access to the outdoor cage, which houses five other squirrel monkeys.
Dougan said staff are worried about Hercu-les’s health, noting that his one- to two-pound frame requires a special, vitamin-rich diet that
Zoo distraught after monkey stolenshould not be suddenly changed.
“We’re concerned about him getting prop-erly fed, we’re concerned about his physical well-being, not knowing who has him or how they caught him, or how they’re keeping him or housing him,’’ he said in an interview.
“Certainly the keep-ers that care for this ani-mal are quite dis-traught.’’
Dougan said squirrel monkeys are not very common in captivity and only live for about 21 years, which makes the aging monkey’s dis-appearance particularly distressing.
He didn’t speculate why someone would want to take Hercules, but said zoo visitors are often charmed by the mini monkeys.
“(He’s) very, very cute,’’ said Dougan. “And that’s the appeal of squirrel monkeys, I guess, is that they ap-pear so baby-like, so cute.’’
But despite his inno-cent, wide-eyed appear-ance, Dougan said a squirrel monkey would
not make a good pet. He added that owning such an animal isn’t permit-ted in the province.
He also cautioned that a nervous animal that feels threatened “certainly will attack, no question.’’
As a result, Dougan said the zoo was calling
hospitals and medical clinics to see if anyone has sought treatment for an animal bite. He said veterinary clinics would also be contacted in the event whoever took Hercules had called with questions about caring for a squirrel monkey.

NEW YORK — High-definition TVs roughly quadrupled the resolution of the sets that came before them. Now, the industry is poised to do it again.
Sony says that by December, U.S. stores will sell a TV set with four times the resolution of today’s best HDTVs. The set will measure 84 inches on the diagonal, making the screen area four
times as large as the common 42-inch set.
Sony executives didn’t reveal the price of the set Wednesday.
There is, for now, very little video content available that can take advan-tage of the higher resolution. With some work and know-how, a comput-er connected to the set can display video in the ultra-HD “4K’’ resolution.
Sony pitches quality beyond HD

Just like their neigh-bors to the south, Canadians also cel-
ebrate Labour Day. Cel-ebrated on the first Mon-day in September since the 1880s, Labour Day in Canada can be traced to a worker’s strike that took place in April of 1872. The Toronto Ty-pographical Union was at the center of the To-ronto Trades Assembly’s
first significant demon-stration for worker’s rights. Typographical Union workers, who were breaking the law at the time by simply being members of a trade union, went on strike to campaign for a nine-hour work day, only to witness two dozen of their union leaders be imprisoned. A parade was staged to show sup-

port for the union’s workers as well as its imprisoned leaders. An-other parade was sched-uled for September, and Canadian Prime Minis-ter Sir John McDonald eventually promised to repeal Canada’s anti-union laws.
Originally celebrated in the spring, Canadian La-bour Day is now cele-brated on the same day as Labor Day in the United States. Also sim-ilar to the U.S. Labor Day, post offices and many businesses are closed on Labour Day, as are schools and other educational establish-ments. The similarities between the two holi-days don’t end there, as many Canadians take advantage of the Labour Day weekend to enjoy one last summer get-away, or enjoy a picnic or barbecue with family and friends. Also, fairs, festivals and fireworks displays are common throughout the country onLabour Day week-end.
Another and likely less-er known similarity be-tween American Labor Day and Canadian La-bour Day is the role football plays in both countries. Labor Day weekend in the U.S. is typically the opening weekend for many of the nation’s college foot-ball teams. In Canada,
the Labour Day Classic is played over the La-bour Day weekend and features the Canadian Football League’s rivals squaring off against one another. The competing teams do not change from year to year, mak-ing this a Labour Day tradition Canadian foot
ball fans greatly enjoy annually.

Dear Annie: My wife and I are in the fi-nal stages of a divorce after 25 years of mar-riage. We have two wonderful teenagers. We both realize that we had a part in the break-down of the marriage, and we are trying to keep the process as friendly as such things can be.
Shortly after my wife moved out, I met a wonderful lady with whom I have much in common. Once the divorce is final, I would like to ask her to marry me. Is that fair? I don’t want my soon-to-be-ex to think that she meant nothing to me and is being traded in. I also don’t want my new ladylove to think I’m simply replacing one wife with another. I don’t mind living alone. It actually has been quite peaceful.
The biggest worry is the kids. I think my son would understand, but my 13-year-old daughter will be a different story. She tries to put up a good front, but isn’t succeeding all that well.
I guess the real question is: Should I let my concerns for other people get in the way of my own happiness? How can I help my daughter understand that I am not disre-specting the years of my marriage? I am simply taking the next step in my life. -- Ready To Move On
Dear Ready: Your main focus right now should be your kids’ adjustment, not your personal contentment. You are rushing things. They are teenagers. The parents they love are divorcing, and this is enough trauma in their lives for the moment. Please don’t make things more stressful by remar-rying so quickly. Let the dust from the di-vorce settle, and then slowly introduce the new woman into your children’s lives and let them get to know her. They may still ob-ject, but they will have less reason if they don’t feel she is being shoved down their throats. We think all of you could benefit from speaking to a family therapist.
Dear Annie: Lately, I have been getting constant putdowns for my “new” appear-ance. It consists of clothes that I’ve owned for a while, though nobody seemed to notice until I began applying black eye-liner. My sister has been pestering me for months, complaining that I look Goth. I admit that I’ve begun using makeup more often, though it’s usually only eyeliner or sil-ver eye shadow.
A few days ago, I was sent to the school office to receive papers for a special event for high-honor students. While I was wait-ing, a teacher I didn’t know walked in and gave me a nasty look, saying, “Hope that one makes it to the high school.”
Annie, I have no piercings other than the standard ones in my ears. I don’t dye my hair. I am an honor student and love to read. Please tell your readers not to judge a book by its cover. It can really hurt. -- Judged Wrong in Jersey
Dear Jersey: It is never a good idea to judge based on appearances. But, honey, if simply wearing eyeliner is making people look askance, you might ask whether per-haps you are wearing a bit too much. And if a Goth look is what you are going for, it makes no sense to be surprised by the reac-tion. Take responsibility for your choices.
Dear Annie: Like “Single Too Long,” I am 55, divorced with grown children and can’t find a long-term relationship. The differ-ence is, I’m female. I have tried dating sites and church groups (full of women). I did meet men when I briefly worked at Home Depot, but I had to quit. You told him to go where the women are, but where are the men? -- Looking for a Relationship, Too
Dear Looking: In bookstores, grocery stores, hardware stores and laundromats. At sporting events, taking college courses, playing golf, softball and basketball, do-ing volunteer work and traveling. Readers? Help us out here.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your friendship defines a relation-ship, especially as the other party initially is not as enthusiastic as you are. A tendency of yours to go overboard comes out. Perhaps you need to relax more. Make plans to start the weekend as early as pos-sible. Tonight: Not to be found.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Understand your role, which could change rapidly during the day. An associate finally opens up because of your efforts, and you’ll take the lead in moving a situation forward. You easily could go to extremes if you are not careful. Accept a call from a friend. Tonight: Start the weekend early.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have an opportunity to break a pattern and head in a different direction once you understand the limitations of the course you are on. You might not want to share all the possibilities that come forward. Tonight: Be a statesman of sorts.CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Deal with a key person or friend in your life directly. Your sensitivity comes out in the way you respond to someone’s offer. Take in the pos-sibilities here, as well as what is be-ing proposed in the discussion. You might be taken aback. Tonight: Let your imagination drift with music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know when to defer to oth-ers. Such an occasion emerges today. A partner or loved one could be demanding. As a result, your perspective will change. You might want to rethink a particular situation. Lots of talking helps iron out a problem. Tonight: With that favorite person.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be more easygoing than in the past. Still, you need to adapt, not only to a changing financial situation, but also to a transformation involving a friend or loved one. Just relax -- it will be easy. Let someone else take the lead. Tonight: Go with a different choice.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are as frisky as can be. You might wonder why you are head-ing in a direction that has a dead
end. Perhaps it is the process you enjoy more than the end results. Be open to a positive change and new opportunities. Tonight: Squeeze in a walk or some other form of exercise.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pressure builds from the morning into the afternoon. You might feel as if you cannot handle what is on your plate until you get a wonder-ful idea for a solution. Relax, and weigh the pros and cons. Use your imagination. Tonight: Incorporate new information.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to continue an irritating conversation to fully un-derstand where someone is com-ing from. You could be overtired or dragged down by your own thoughts. Express your imagina-tion and sense of determination. Tonight: Happy to go home.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Handle financial matters early on in the day. You could be subject to drifting thoughts in the afternoon, though there might be a great idea embedded in those daydreams. Follow your instincts with a much-needed conversation with a sibling
or neighbor. Tonight: Take a relax-ing walk.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use the morning to the max, when you are at your prime.

Marian W. A. Whebell
September 12, 1920 - August 25, 2012
The WWII war bride of Harold Ellis, Marian left her native Holland in 1945 to take up residence in Kimberley, British Columbia. She was soon employed by what was then known as the Mark Creek Store, and then
“The Bay” and recently Fields, where she was the assistant manager.
After a somewhat stormy marriage to Harold which led to an equable divorce, Marian married Ralph Whebell, also a veteran, and became Ralph’s widow in 1990. Retired by that time, she lived a quiet life for a long time and passed away on Saturday, August 25, 2012 at 91 years of age.
Marian was more or less a “homebody,” preferring to do some gardening and practising considerable culinary skills in the kitchen. She also managed to get through an awesome number of novels over the years, being a stalwart Danielle Steel fan. As anyone coming to her house will also know, she did quite a bit of craft work, particularly portraying Amerind themes in her wall hangings.
Marian was not blessed with children, which, at times, was somewhat of a disappointment to her.
At Marian’s request she will be cremated and there will be neither a funeral nor a celebration of life.
Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.Condolences for the family can be offered at:

Walter “Ken” Cook
1932 - 2012
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Walter “Ken” Cook on Saturday, August 25, 2012. He is survived by his loving wife of 59 years Ethel; Wayne (Sherry) of Vancouver Island; Brenda (Larry) of Prince Albert, SK; Gary (Wendy) of Cranbrook; Lyle (Heather) of Preeceville, SK; Dale (Deb), Lorne (Lynn) and Bradley of Cranbrook; as well as sixteen grandchildren; eleven great grandchildren; five brothers and four sisters. Ken was predeceased by his parents Kenneth and Margaret Cook.
Ken was born on September 29, 1932 at Hazel Dell, Saskatchewan. He farmed at Hazel Dell until he moved to Cranbrook in 1973. Ken owned and operated gravel and logging trucks until he semi-retired in 1998. While working part time for Rocky Mountain Diesel, he was able to pursue his love of training and racing pony chuckwagon horses.
A visitation for Ken will be held on Friday, August 31, 2012 at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm. A Celebration of Ken’s Life will be held on Saturday, September 1, 2012 at 2.00 pm in McPherson’s Funeral Chapel in Cranbrook. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Okanagan/Kootenays Area Office, #4, 1551 - Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia, V1Y 9M9.
