70 permits issued in first six months of 2015; Cranbrook

next with 68

Coun. Nigel Kitto commented at City Council on Monday eve-ning that this year’s building per-mit values were excellent, already doubling 2014 values at only half way through the year. Will the momentum continue, he won-dered.

“I don’t think it’s a blip,” said

Mayor Don McCormick. “I think we’re seeing a very solid confi-dence in Kimberley and this area.

McCormick said he felt it was important to compare not only year to year, but to what is hap-pening in the rest of the valley.

“When it comes to residential building permits, Kimberley has 70 in the first six months of 2015,” he said. “That’s the most of any community in the valley. Cran-brook has 68. We’re going neck and neck with residential devel-opment with Cranbrook. Nobody else is even close. Fernie is next at 43 permits.

“Cranbrook has 12 new single

family homes so far, we have 11. We’re having a great year.”

Coun. Sandra Roberts said that she hoped all the increased building and renovation activity would encourage others to take pride in their property. She noted that unsightly premises com-plaints were on the rise.

“I hope those complaints will be acted upon,” she said. “You should not have to look at other people’s garbage.”

“I think the complaints are increasing because people really care about their community,” McCormick said. “It’s encourag-ing that people are speaking up.”

Kimberley City Council needs to make a decision on what to do about requests for business licenses for med-ical marijuana dispensaries, and will devote an upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting to a discussion on the matter.

Last month another group ap-proached City Council about opening a dispensary after Council granted a business license to Tamarack Dispen-saries, which now operates in Marys-ville.

In both cases, City Staff had origi-nally denied the business license re-quest because the businesses are tech-nically not approved under federal

law. In the case of Tamarack, Council decided to grant a business license after discussion with the owners.

In the second case, the owners never officially asked for a business li-cense again after being denied, just provided information.

Now the proponent has written Council again asking that another look be taken at the decision to turn them down.

Mayor Don McCormick says that the latest letter has asked for a busi-ness license in a ‘reasonably direct manner’.

“But we are only three weeks into Tamarack opening and we are collect-ing data on its place in the community. It’s prudent to see what we are dealing with.”

Jets QB Geno Smith sidelined after being

punched by teammate Dennis Wasz ak Jr.

Associated Press

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith will be sidelined at least 6-10 weeks with a broken jaw after being punched by teammate Ikemefuna Enemkpali in the locker room Tues-day morning.

Coach Todd Bowles made the announce-ment in an impromptu news conference before training camp practice was scheduled to start.

Enemkpali (EN-um-PAL-ee), an outside linebacker in his second season, has been re-leased by the Jets, ac-cording to Bowles. He was a sixth-round draft pick last year.

Bowles says Smith and Enemkpali got into an “altercation” in the Jets’ locker room Tues-day morning.

“It had nothing to do

with football,” Bowles said. “It was something very childish, and he got cold-cocked, suck-er-punched - whatever you want to call it - in the jaw.”

Smith, entering his third season, required surgery to repair the jaw.

“Depending on how surgery goes, we’ll see where we go from there,” Bowles said.

Bowles says the Jets could add another quar-terback, but it appears Ryan Fitzpatrick will as-sume the starting job.

Bowles wouldn’t go into detail about the na-ture of the altercation, except to say: “It was something very childish, that sixth-graders could have talked about.”

Chicago to host 2016 NFL Draft

Jay CohenAssociated Press

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Chicago is on the clock again.

The NFL draft is re-turning to the Windy City for the second straight year after a long run at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The location has not been finalized, but it will be near Grant Park and run from April 28-30.

“We’re thrilled. They have earned it,” Com-missioner Roger Good-ell said Tuesday at the NFL owners’ meetings. “The success that we’ve had last year set a new bar for the draft.”

The league also an-nounced plans to create a selection process for future draft sites. There was no commitment made to Chicago be-yond 2016, but the NFL says it will be consid-ered for future drafts.

“The NFL draft is world-class event, and I’m proud they picked a world-class city like the city of Chicago,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel said.

The league was be-lieved to be considering Los Angeles, but this year’s draft in Chicago and “Draft Town” - an

NFL-themed party at Grant Park - drew huge crowds, impressing the league. Chicago also is centrally located for fans of several teams, adding to the attraction for the NFL.

According to the league, more than 200,000 fans participat-ed in draft-related events this year in Chi-cago. A study commis-sioned by the Chicago Sports Commission found the draft generat-ed an economic impact of $81.6 million.

“It’s about the na-tional event,” said Peter O’Reilly, the NFL’s se-nior vice-president of events. “It wasn’t, as we know, just Chicagoans coming here to Grant Park. There were peo-ple, every team was rep-resented here. Again, the entire country start-ed to converge on the heartland of football here.”

The 2015 draft was held in the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University. But O’Reilly said they are consider-ing all options.

The draft also was held in Chicago in 1938, 1942-44, 1951, and 1962-64.

Kimberley native Jared du toit works his way around the track at lambton golf & Country Club in toronto during first-round action at the 2015 Canadian Men’s amateur golf Championship tuesday morning. First-round action was completed tuesday morning after inclement weather prevented many competitors from teeing off Monday.

du Toit completes opening round at Canadian Amateur Championship

Taylor roCC aSports Editor

It might have taken an extra day, but Kim-berley native Jared du Toit was finally able to start and complete his first round at the 2015 Canadian Men’s Ama-teur Golf Championship.

Heavy rain poured down in the Toronto area Monday, leading to the suspension of first-round action at both Lambton Golf & Country Club and Weston Golf & Country Club before du Toit was able to tee up.

The former Selkirk Secondary School stu-

dent and recent transfer to Arizona State Univer-sity finally hit the links at Lambton at approxi-mately 7:25 a.m. (East-ern) Tuesday morning, rolling to an open-ing-round 72 to sit one-over par after 18 holes.

The Kimberley Golf Club product was then set to tee off his second round at approximately 4:25 p.m. (Eastern) over at Weston.

As of press time, du Toit was nine holes into his second round, sit-ting even par on the day, leaving his tournament score at one-over par, good enough to sit tied

for 32nd. As of press time, Ben

Eccles (Australia) and Eric Banks (Truro, N.S.) sat tied atop the leader-board at seven-under par following 36 holes of play.

Through his opening first round, du Toit fired a two-over 38 on the front nine before closing out with a one-under 34 on the back nine at the 7,005-yard Lambton Golf & Country Club.

Lambton Golf & Country Club was founded in 1902. In 2008, its golf course was redesigned.

Weston Golf & Coun-

try Club was established in 1915. Its course fea-tures 6,808 total yards to be conquered.

du Toit won his way into the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Golf Championship by claim-ing the title at the 2015 B.C. Men’s Amateur Championship in Oliver earlier this summer.

The winner of the 2015 Canadian Men’s Amateur Champion-ship receives exemption into the 2015 USGA Men’s Amateur Cham-pionship (Aug. 17 to 23 in Olympia Fields, Ill.) as well as the 2016 RBC Canadian Open.

The Canadian Men’s Amateur Champion-ship is more than a cen-tury old, having been first contested in 1895 at the Ottawa Golf Club.

New Zealand native James Beale, 21, claimed the 2014 Canadian Men’s Amateur Cham-pionship following a three-hole playoff at El-mhurts Golf & Country Club last August.

Third-round action at the Weston Golf & Country Club is sched-uled to begin Wednes-day. Individual groups and tee times were un-available as of press time Tuesday.

assoCiaTeD PressTORONTO - Top-

ranked Serena Williams rebounded to beat Ita-ly’s Flavia Pennetta 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 on Tuesday in the first round of the WTA Tour’s Rogers Cup.

“I was really frustrat-ed with how I was play-ing,” Williams said. “And then I got really angry. ... So I said, ‘Serena, you’re

going to have to be posi-tive and be good to yourself out here.”’

The 21-time Grand Slam winner won a day after sister Venus Wil-liams was eliminated in straight sets by Germa-ny’s Sabine Lisicki.

The 33-year-old Wil-liams blamed unforced errors for early struggles.

“It was a good oppor-

tunity for me because I haven’t played a match on hard courts since April-ish, early, early April, after Miami,” Wil-liams said. “It was a long time ago. So I think it was really good for me to have that match play.”

Williams won first of her three Toronto titles in 2001. She also won the event in Montreal in

2000.“Like a nice vintage

wine, Williams said. ”A good vintage red wine, I’d say, getting better with age, I hope.“

Also, France’s Alize Cornet upset ninth-seed-ed Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-4, qualifier Mirjana Lu-cic-Baroni of Croatia beat 10th-seeded Karoli-

na Pliskova 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-2, and No. 11 Ekaterina Makarova of Russia topped American quali-fier Anna Tatishvili 6-3, 6-3.

Belarus’ Victoria Az-arenka beat Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-1, 6-4, and Germany’s Angeli-que Kerber beat Japa-nese qualifier Misaki Doi 6-0, 6-1.

Public Consultation:Proposed Amendment of Of� cial Community Plan

The City of Cranbrook has received an application to amend the City’s Of� cial Community Plan.

On July 13, 2015, City Council gave � rst reading to “City of Cranbrook Of� cial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3829, 2015”.

If adopted, the proposed Of� cial Community Plan (OCP) amendment will change the land use designation of the property from “Medium Density Residential” to “Park / Institutional/ Recreation”.

Approval of the proposed OCP amendment will enable consideration of a zoning bylaw amendment. The proposed zoning amendment will add a new zone, “Comprehensive Development Zone 6: CD-6 Sonja’s Garden Housing Development”, to the Zoning Bylaw, and rezone the subject property to the new zone. The new zoning will facilitate development of two (2) new buildings with a total of eighteen (18) 1-bedroon apartment-style units and the addition of social services program and of� ce space uses on the property.

The subject property is legally described as Lot 1, District Lot 4, Kootenay District Plan NEP70152 (Civic Address: 1000 21st Avenue. North), as shown on the map below.

A copy of the proposed “City of Cranbrook Of� cial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3829, 2015” is available at City Hall for public information.

If you require more information or wish to comment on the proposed OCP amendment, please contact Ms. Jamai Schile, Community Planner at (250) 489-0202.

Please provide written comments by August 17, 2015.

The 11th annual Arts on the Edge exhi-bitions in the Gallery at Centre 64 were both won by artworks that were truly “on the edge” of the tradition-al fields of art. Taking top prize in the estab-lished artists’ category was Grant Smith’s “Grizzly Tickets”, com-posed of digital, silk-screened, and wire el-ements depicting griz-zly bears in a variety of poses on strings of co-loured tickets. This unique original piece was sold as soon as the exhibition opened, the artist donating the proceeds of the sale to the Northern Lights Wildlife Society, Smithers, BC, for the rescue and rehabilita-tion of grizzly bears.

Equally unusual was the winning entry in the emerging artists’ category. Patrick Jef-frey’s piece, “Courage”, was a carved, red burl cedar, globe-like ves-sel, one of three beau-tiful museum-quality wood pieces he sub-mitted to the exhibi-tion.

The exhibition’s ju-rors, three experi-enced professional artists from the Cres-ton valley, Sandy Kunze, Maggie Leal Valais, and Richard Reeves, cogitated for over two hours before deciding on the 13 prize-winning entries. Their selections ful-filled the exhibition criteria that prizes be awarded to works that exhibit skilled tech-nique in the use of the medium, composition showing appropriate balance, line, form, colour, shape, value, centre of interest, etc.,

Winning artworks truly arts on the edgeprevious years, but ex-hibition organizers were very pleased once again with the overall quality of the pieces submitted. “This is another beau-tiful show,” said exhi-bition committee chair Linda Douglas, “with a rich variety of media, styles, and subject matter.”

Visitors to the exhi-bitions are invited to vote for the People’s Choice prize which will be awarded on the final Saturday of the exhibition, based on the number of votes cast. Visitors are asked to only vote once for their favourite piece, please.

as applicable to the discipline, originality of either the subject matter or the way in which a traditional subject matter is treat-ed, and the subjective appeal of the artwork.

Other prize winners were as follows:

In the established artists’ category, sec-ond prize went to Ash-ley Huff ’s tiny painting of two disgrun-tled-looking ravens, appropriately titled “Only This & Nothing More”.

In addition to win-ning the first prize, Grant Smith was also awarded the third prize for his digital

piece, “Ponderosa Pine Phi Pattern”.

Honorable mention cash prizes in this cat-egory were awarded to Simon Haiduk for his digital painting, “Spirit Wolf”, Maria Maryniak for her pastel work, “Tree Aid”, to Rob Toll-er, for his huge wood and steel sculpture, Offering”, and to Vir-ginia Anderson for her hand-made red, black, grey felting piece. Sec-ond prize-winner Ash-ley Huff also received an honorable mention for her oil painting of a girl titled “Dislodge”.

In the emerging art-ists’ category, second prize went to Jennifer

Johnson for her ink, watercolour, and li-no-cut stamped pic-ture, “Pachamama”, and third prize to Amy Cornelson for her digi-tal painting, “Guide of the Fated”. Honorable mentions were award-ed to Lori Craig for her 9-piece assemblage of mixed media pictures, “First Chakra Explora-tion”, and to Andre Americo Soares Ma-siero for his photo, “Resilience”.

A total of 73 art-works were entered in this year’s Arts on the Edge exhibitions, slightly down from

From Page 1“This business would be more

than edibles,” Coun. Albert Ho-glund pointed out.

“I would support staff’s deci-sion to deny for now,” said Coun. Kent Goodwin. “I have concerns regarding the quality of informa-tion given. We’re treading new ground and need to go slowly.”

“In fairness we need to give him a time line,” said Coun. Nigel Kitto.

Hoglund said Council was al-ready treading some very thin ground considering they had al-lowed a coffee shop to be con-structed out of C Cans in Marys-ville right across the street from another new coffee shop. Why

are they allowing competition in some cases and not others?

“I think we need a broader discussion of all these issues at Committee of the Whole to find the path forward,” McCormick said. “We can get back to the pro-ponent and tell him we are defer-ring to a Committee of the Whole meeting.”

The Ktunaxa Nation said it was disappointed with the Aug. 6 ruling by the British Columbia Court of Appeal that found the province’s ap-proval of a Master De-velopment Agreement in the Jumbo, or Qat’muk, area did not violate the Ktunaxa’s Charter right to freedom of religion.

The ruling also found that the province’s con-sultation with the Ktu-naxa regarding their constitutionally protect-ed Aboriginal rights was reasonable.

“We are deeply dis-

appointed with today’s decision,” said Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Na-tion Council Chair. “We are working closely with our legal team to ana-lyze this ruling and other developments to determine what our next steps may be.”

In the ruling Justice Goepel concluded that the decision of the Min-ister to approve the Master Development Agreement did not vio-late the Ktunaxa’s free-dom of religion guaran-teed under section 2(a) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Goepel said the Min-ister of Forests, Lands

and Natural Resource Operations did not breach his duty to con-sult and accommodate under s. 35.

“ I would dismiss the appeal,” Goepel wrote.

Glacier Resorts Ltd began the process to ob-tain permission to build a year-round ski resort on Crown land in the Jumbo Valley 24 years ago. On March 20, 2012, Glacier cleared the final administrative hurdle when the Minister of Forests, Lands and Na-tional Resource Opera-tions approved a Master Development Agree-ment with Glacier.

However, this past

June Jumbo Glacier Re-sort’s environmental certificate lapsed be-cause it did not meet provincial requirements on starting construc-tion.

The Ktunaxa Nation Council asserted that the minister, in approv-ing the agreement, vio-lated their freedom of religion and breached his duty to consult and accommodate a host of asserted Aboriginal rights under s. 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.

The Ktunaxa Nation said it would release an official response to the ruling this week.

Ranchers want enforcement of bylaw to allow RDEK to pull

weeds on private property

tre vor Cr Awley

Representatives from the ag-ricultural industry brought their concerns over invasive weeds to the RDEK and asked for the enforcement of a bylaw that would allow local govern-ment to clear noxious weeds on private property.

Harlan Bradford, the presi-dent of the Kootenay Livestock Association and Morgan Dilts, the president of the Waldo Stockbreeders, voiced their concerns that invasive weeds are being spread from private properties and that the RDEK needs to step up enforcement.

While there are programs for fighting invasive weeds on crown land, the two pushed for the enforcement of Bylaw No. 1617 passed in 2002, which gives the RDEK the power to hire crews to clear noxious weeds on private property and charge the homeowner.

“We’re asking for the RDEK to become more engaged in the enforcement of Bylaw 1617,” said Dilts. “We have come up with a bit of an obstacle in the agricultural industry in that in-vasive weeds are starting to be a very significant problem.

“…We’re starting to see loss-es in the agricultural industry because of invasive weeds.”

In their presentation to the board, Dilts mentioned that in-vasive weeds have impacted the carrying capacity of region-al crown rangeland by 25 per

cent over the last 10 years.“How many businesses can

handle a 25 per cent loss?” asked Dilts. “And that is, by all indicators, is going to continue into the future of reductions and more reductions.”

That impact on the carrying capacity of the rangeland isn’t just a reduction in the grazing land for cattle, but also for wildlife ungulates, such as deer and elk, Dilts clarified.

He gave an example of how seeds at a logging yard on a private company property can be transported on vehicles and equipment throughout the re-gion as part of logging opera-tions.

“A lot of money is invested each year to controlling these noxious weeds, but it is some-what futile if you treat outside of a place, but the origin of the seed is not taken care of. It’s not very cost-effective,” Dilts said.

RDEK board chair Rob Gay said the board has provided funding to noxious weeds through an agricultural plan, but sympathized with the ranchers’ frustrations.

“That’s what they’re asking us to do, is to take charge on some of these lands where the owners are not participating in dealing with the noxious weeds,” Gay said.

“…To my knowledge we hav-en’t used our ability to enforce. We’ve chosen to take the edu-cation route, first feeling that we should educate people. And we feel we’re doing a good job there, but what the livestock associations are telling us is don’t stop the education, but you need to start doing some enforcement and I feel they’re right.”

Yes, collecting tabs from aluminum cans does do good. Myra Farquhar has been collecting the tabs for years. “I don’t even know where half of them come from,” she said. “I come home and they are in my mailbox, hanging from the door. It’s wonderful.” Myra recently sent six buckets of tabs to Ronald McDonald House in Calgary to provide extra treats for kids who stay at the House. So keep those pull tabs coming.

Islamist fanatics, as you would expect, are very earnest about their beliefs. They accept that secrecy and deceit are nec-

essary to mislead the enemy, but they do not expect their leaders to be lying to them. When they find out that they have been lied to, consistently and over a long period of time, they get very cross – and this has re-percussions in the real world.

From the time that the Taliban con-quered Kabul and took over most of Afhan-istan in 1996, Mullah Mu-hammad Omar Mansoor was the man who ran the show and was effectively the head of state. He was the man who allowed Osama bin Laden to set up camp in Afghanistan. And although the Taliban lost power after the US invasion in 2001, Mullah Omar remained in control of the organsation until his death in 2013.

The trouble is that nobody told his faith-ful followers that he died more than two years ago in Pakistan. Until last week the Taliban was still issuing statements in his name – most recently, on 15 July, a message endorsing the Taliban’s recent peace talks with the current Afghan government. Now all Mullah Omar’s statements since April 2013 are in question, and so are the men who made them in his name.

This matters a lot, because Mullah Omar was not just the leader of the Taliban. He was also the most important figure in the broader alliance of Islamist groups known

as al Qaeda. Indeed, he had as much right to claim to be its founder as the man who ac-tually gets the credit, Osama bin Laden.

With his long record as a real fighter, Mullah Omar was much more respected than the man who formally inherited al Qaeda’s leadership after Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011, the reclusive Egyptian theorist Ayman al Zawahiri. Indeed, Zawa-hiri felt compelled to renew his pledge of allegiance (“baya”) to Mullah Omar when

the rival jihadi group, Is-lamic State, declared its leader, Abu Bakr al Baghda-di, to be the “caliph of all the Muslims” in 2014.

This is not just internal politics in a local jihadi group. Al Qaeda and Islam-

ic State are in a frequently violent competi-tion for the loyalty of all the scattered Isla-mist groups in the Muslim countries. It was therefore very important for al Qaeda that Mullah Omar rejected Baghdadi’s claim to be the caliph – and it is very important to the rest of the world that the two jihadi or-ganisations remain divided and hostile to each other.

Al Qaeda has been losing ground in this competition for some years now. Indeed, Islamic State recently set up its own rival franchises in the two countries where al Qaeda still dominates the struggle against the local regime, Afghanistan and Yemen. The two groups are currently at war with each other in both countries, but that could

change fast if al Qaeda’s leadership is dis-credited by the lies it has been telling.

If Mullah Omar actually died in 2013, he could not have denounced Baghdadi’s claim to be the legitimate caliph in 2014. Similarly, Zawahiri’s pledge of allegiance to him in 2014 was either a deliberate lie, or a demonstration that he is hopelessly out of touch with what is actually happening be-yond his hide-out, presumably somewhere in Pakistan. Either way, al Qaeda loses cred-ibility.

There would be no reason to mourn the decline of al Qaeda except that the main beneficiary will be Islamic State. There is no strong reason to prefer one organisation to the other, either – except that the last thing the world needs is for Islamic State to take over all of al Qaeda’s franchises and create a single, much more powerful and attractive Islamist fighting front.

The current state of division of the ex-treme Islamist movement is deplored by almost everybody in both organisations. There is little ideological difference be-tween them, although Islamic State is more apocalytic in its vision. If al Qaeda’s claim to leadership is seriously undermined by its lies about Mullah Omar, the unification of most or all the Islamist groups under Bagh-dadi’s authority is a real possibility.

The first victim of that would be the Assad regime in Syria, which is already tot-tering, and an Islamist takeover of the whole country. But much more might follow, and none of it would be good news.

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. - Oilsands giant Syncrude is fac-ing an environmental protec-tion order following the deaths of 30 great blue herons at one of its sites.

“It’s guidance to the compa-ny,” Alberta Energy Regulator spokesman Bob Curran said Tuesday. “We’re specifying what our expectations are, what information we expect the company to deliver and in what time frame.”

Syncrude revealed on the weekend that 29 carcasses

from the large shorebirds were discovered last Friday near a pump house at an abandoned sump pond at the Mildred Lake mine site north of Fort McMurray. One additional bird was euthanized on the order of Alberta Fish and Wild-life.

Despite previous reports that bird deterrents at the facil-ity were fully working, Syn-crude spokesman Will Gibson acknowledged Tuesday that no such equipment was in opera-tion.

“We didn’t have any deter-

rents in the area at the time,” he said. “We typically put deter-rents around our tailings facili-ty.”

Since the discovery, Syn-crude has installed fencing, sound cannons and bird-scar-ing statues, including a robotic falcon. Human observers are also stationed at the site around the clock.

Gibson was unable to say if similar measures have been in-stalled at any of Syncrude’s other sumps.

“We want to find out what attracted (the birds) there. I

don’t want to speculate about whether we have a similar set of circumstances at other sumps in our operation.”

Curran said an investigation is to determine if Syncrude was following all rules regarding wildlife.

“We need to determine the cause of death of those birds, because we don’t know what it is.”

Meanwhile, the company is obliged to collect samples from the site for analysis, develop a plan to clean it up and publish daily reports on its progress.

Syncrude faces protection order after heron deaths

Study says F-35 may not meet performance standards of CF-18Murr ay Bre wster

Canadian Press

OTTAWA - A U.S. de-fence and foreign affairs think tank released a comprehensive report Tuesday suggesting the oft-maligned F-35 jet might not meet the per-formance standards of existing fighter planes, including Canada’s CF-18s.

The National Security Network, a non-profit foreign policy group based in Washington, D.C., is the latest organi-zation to raise questions about the stealth fighter program, which is over budget and behind schedule in the U.S.

Other organizations, including the Rand Corp., have studied the troubled program, but much of the analysis has revolved around the enormous cost and some of the technical snags, such as software, that have held up devel-opment. There have also been simulations that have compared the F-35 to potential competitors.

One of the key fea-

tures of the latest report is its comparison of F-35 operational capabilities with the jets it is intend-ed to replace, including the F-16, F-18 and A-10. In each case, the stealth fighter comes up short.

The group urges the Obama administration to do a “serious” reas-sessment of the program and determine whether there are alternatives available.

“Whether this oppor-tunity to seriously reas-sess DOD’s commitment to the F-35 will be seized remains to be seen,” the report said. “But, by stay-ing fully committed to the F-35 program, the United States is investing unprecedented resourc-es in the wrong aircraft, at the wrong time, for the wrong reasons.”

No one at Lockheed Martin, the plane’s U.S.’s manufacturer, was im-mediately available for comment.

The Harper govern-ment put its purchase of 65 F-35s on hold after being accused by the au-ditor general of fudging

the price tag and not doing sufficient research. It plans to extend the life of the CF-18s to 2025.

The planned RCAF purchase, which would have cost taxpayers an estimated $44 billion over its four-decade life-time, was a prominent feature of the last elec-tion campaign in 2011, but since the auditor general’s report it has slipped off the public radar as the bureaucracy

has buried it in studies, analyses and process.

Some defence ob-servers and commenta-tors have suggested the plan to refurbish the 1980s-era CF-18s has ef-fectively neutralized the politically damaging issue, at least until the Oct. 19 vote. But Univer-sity of British Columbia political scientist and de-fence expert Michael Byers says the new re-port should remind the

public that replacement of the one of the mili-tary’s core fleets has been badly misman-aged.

“I think governments need to be made to own failures like that,” said Byers, who has urged the government to abandon the F-35 in favour of an-other plane. “Our fleet of fighter aircraft is unac-ceptably old and there is no current plan to re-place them.”

Byers said metal fa-tigue on the CF-18 air-frames is a concern. The air force has said the cur-rent bombing campaign in Iraq and Syria is not adding to wear on the existing jets because they are not facing the stress of high-speed ma-noeuvres.

Byers accepts that, but he says the increas-ing threat of Russian in-cursions - either into Ca-nadian airspace or in

other NATO countries - means the fighters will be called upon to per-form more stressful fly-ing.

Researchers noted that matching the F-16’s manoeuvrability was a minimum design re-quirement for the F-35, yet they concluded the older jet is capable of fly-ing faster and enjoys bet-ter wing-loading perfor-mance, an aspect critical for dogfighting.

Dear Annie: I was divorced in 1972 and was given custody of our 2-year-old son. As much as I didn’t want the divorce, my husband was an alcoholic who refused help. I finally realized it was the only way to protect my son. My ex did not use his visitation rights and never paid child support. I remarried when my son was 4. My new husband wanted to adopt him, but my ex at first refused to relinquish his rights. When my son was 6, my ex called early in the morning (drunk) and said adoption was OK. When our son turned 10, my ex called wanting to see him. I refused, saying it would be too disruptive to his life. When my son was 18, I asked whether he wanted to know anything about his biological father, but he declined. I asked him again at 21, saying that people can change and that he should be prepared for the day when his bio dad shows up on his doorstep. He didn’t care. Our son is now 45, and my ex recently called wanting to have our son’s contact information. Instead, I gave our son his biological father’s contact information. He had no interest and tossed it away. He considers my husband to be his father. To appease my ex (and hopefully stop him from trying to track our son down), I told him I would send him general information about our son’s life, along with a few pictures. But now I’m having second thoughts, because I know neither my husband nor our son would approve. I have done nothing so far and am stressed about the situation. I would appreciate your opinion. -- Second Thoughts Dear Second: If your ex wanted to track down your son, he could probably do so without any appeasement from you, but we understand why you are willing to indulge him with photos and information. Nonetheless, you should not have made such a promise without consulting your son. It is his decision, so talk to him. Explain that you don’t expect him to want a relationship with his biological father, nor does he owe him any information. But it would be a kindness to give the man some peace of mind after all these years. Whatever decision your son makes, please abide by it. Dear Annie: I’m in a similar situation to “Not Jealous, Just Hurt,” whose husband’s ex-wife turned up at all the family funerals. I’ve been married for 25 years and my husband’s mother and daughter think it’s perfectly OK for his ex-wife to be included in family gatherings. His mother visits with his ex-wife now and then, and the woman is also welcome in her home. None of them, including my husband, seems to care how I feel about the situation. I don’t feel welcome. I’m ready to call it quits. -- Hurt as Well Dear Hurt: Your husband has a daughter with his ex-wife. That means his daughter will want her mother at all family gatherings. It means your mother-in-law will invite the ex because her granddaughter wants her there. It means your husband will tolerate this for his daughter’s sake. You don’t have to like this situation, but after 25 years, we are surprised you haven’t found a way to deal with it. Unless your husband is actively interested in his ex, this situation should not be so threatening. Please talk to an unbiased third party and figure out what you can live with.
