Weekly updates coming to Kimberley City Council

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Kimberley City Council received the first update on the progression of work on the Mark Creek flume rehab this week. Phase 2 of the rehab is now underway, and Don Schacher, the Citys project manager, report-

ed that so far, it is on schedule and on budget.The Mark Creek Flume Phase 2 work is

progressing well, the report says. There are some concerns with the AutoCAD (Civil 3-D) drawings with respect to design layout that are being addressed.

Common excavation of granular materi-al on the Project is underway. Sanitary sewer and water main projects are under construc-tion. Site start up and safety concerns have been addressed: fencing, traffic plan, ETV

and contact list.Regular communication and updates for

residents in the area has been a priority.Mayor Don McCormick says that Council

will receive weekly updates, rather than the monthly reports planned at first.

A formal monthly report is not enough, he said. We want weekly updates so we can stay on top of it. The goal is to recognize vari-ances before they become big variances.

Once a month is not enough. Its a short

project, it will be over in three months.McCormick says he expects Copcan, the

general contractor on the flume rehab, to be out of town by the end of October, and that is the end of the project.

Next year, there will be landscaping and finishing work which will be done by city crews. I dont know if they will get the foot bridges in before the end of the year either, but that is all work that will be done by city crews.

First Saturday kicks off KaleidoscopeC AROLYN GR ANT

August 1 is First Saturday in Kimberley, the First Saturday that has traditionally been designated as Arts and Culture. Prior to the birth of the Kaleidoscope Festival, the Arts on the Edge Festival followed.

In any event, this First Saturday kicks off a week long celebration of Kimberleys very vibrant arts and culture scene. First Saturday begins with the Dusty Downhill, a 10 K race or 14 if youd like to run up the ski hill first from the top of Northstar Mountain to the Platzl. You can still sign up for this race at dustydownhill.ca

Performing in the Platzl on Saturday will be Mac Ramsey, Tamara Sontag, John Ger-litz, the GBGBs, (Garry Jacklin, Grady and Barry Pasiechynk) and Tom Bungay. The Sound Principles barbershop quartet will be roaming the Platzl throughout the afternoon.

Just outside the Kimberley Library, An-drew Plait will perform a childrens concert from 2 to 3 p.m.. There will be two mini Da Vinci workshops for youth over 10 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The artists demo will feature Rene Farwig. High tea will be served at Cha-teau Kimberley from noon to 3 p.m.

Barry CoulterLocal golf geography

has drawn a lot of atten-tion from Canadas pre-mier golf media outlet.

ScoreGolf TV recent-ly focussed on the Cran-brook and Kimberley area as part of its tour of BC. Episodes featur-ing local courses and communities are cur-rently airing on TSN and ScoreGolf TV.

SCOREGolf Maga-zine is a Canadian golf publication, which started in 1981 as the program for the Canadi-an Open golf tourna-ment. The magazine is now the largest circula-tion golf publication in Canada and has grown into other media includ-ing television and radio.

ScoreGolf also re-leased its rankings of the top 59 public golf cours-es in Canada. Two local courses, Wildstone and Shadow Mountain came in at numbers 42 and 52 respectively.

Chris Andrews, Gen-eral Manager at Wild-stone Golf Course in Cranbrook, said it was a great honour for the two courses to make the ranking, but he added that it speaks to the quality of golf in the whole area.

Its a great golf desti-

nation, Andrews said of the Cranbrook-Kimber-ley area. We work regu-larly with all the golf courses within the half hour the guests are coming in, staying at St. Eugene, staying in local hotels. They stay up in Kimberley as well, and they play all seven courses that weve got locally.

But its great, this recog nition. Youve got a couple of courses that will draw maybe a little more attention with that recognition and be part of destination packages for folks that will be coming into town.

While visiting golfers are constantly remark-ing on the quality of the golf courses themselves, there are a lot of intangi-bles that make the golf experience unique.

Courses conditions are superb, and we try to focus on that, Andrews said. But the stunning scenery that all the courses have and share, as well as a vibrant com-munity are a big part of that as well.

And the variety of golf is great. Youre not just coming in to play one course, youre here to play three or four.

Andrews said he

went up in the ScoreGo-lfTV helicopter while they were here, getting a sense of the geography. We did a spin over all the golf courses. We went over Fort Steele, and up to Fisher Peak its strong mountain peak you can behind St. Eugene (Golf Course), or when you finish 18 at Shadow Mountain you see it, when you play Wildstone as well.

Andrews said Score-Golf hadnt been out to the area for quite a few years, so it was a great update for them.

Also on hand was Bob Weeks the for-mer editorial of Score-Golf and currently the golf analyst for TSN. Hes the go-to guy for golf in Canada, An-drews said. He rep-resents TSN at the Brit-ish Open, the U.S. Open, the PGA

(The ScoreGolf crew) stayed at St. Eu-gene, they played golf courses, the came and shot the episode, then went downtown to the

Heid-Out for food and drink, shot some foot-age of the city.

The episodes are air-ing currently on TSN running eight times over a two week period. Once they wrap up, they will be presented on line. So people can watch the episode locally if they cant watch it on TSN.

As for the over-all season, Andrews says the golfing has been great.

Its been a good sea-son for all the golf cours-es that Ive talked to. The numbers are strong. A lot of visitors coming in and playing multi-course packages. The economic impact those visitors is great for the communities.

A recent government funding an-nouncement has the potential to go a long way towards studying a novel treatment for veterans with Post-Trau-matic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Announced by Veterans Affairs earlier this week, the federal govern-ment is providing $250,000 to research the benefits of equine therapy for mil-itary veterans who are living with PTSD.

Its a treatment that hits close to home in the region, as a veterans group based out of Kimberley have been using the therapy, which has gone a long way to helping local veter-ans manage their symptoms.

PTSD is classified as an anxiety disorder and symptoms can manifest if an individual experiences a trau-matic events.

Military Ames, a group headed up by Cindy Postnikoff out of Kimberley, is an organization created to provide camaraderie and a safe environment for local veterans to stay connected with each other.

This news that the government is going to do some research is a great

thing, because if Veterans Affairs would recognize it, there would be a lot more veterans that would benefit from it, Postnikoff said.

Back in April, Postnikoff, along with a few veterans, did a set of six sessions using equine therapy out at a ranch in Wycliffe to help treat and manage PTSD symptoms.

A veteran, who requested anonym-ity to protect his privacy, participated in the sessions and said equine thera-py has helped treat his PTSD symp-toms.

Its pretty coolits the benefit of getting a veteran out of the house and into something where theyre focus-ing on an activity and its a new expe-rience, maybe pushing their comfort zone, which a lot of vets that are suf-fering, really have a hard time getting out, he said.

Its a lot easier to hide in your basement or stay in your house and not go out and deal with people or be concerned about being laughed at because a car backfires and you dive for the ground.

As southern B.C. la-bours under an ongoing drought, many kinds of tough, hardy plants are thriving. Fields of inva-sive weeds are in full bloom in many vacant industrial lots around Cranbrook, and the short window of oppor-tunity for fighting them is just about past.

Frank Hastings, who has been working for a contractor hired by the City of Cranbrook and private businesses to eradicate weeds in tar-geted areas, recently conducted a tour for the botanically minded, to see land where the weeds have been al-lowed to thrive and oth-ers where they have been cleaned out.

Season of the invadersA whos who of invasive weeds are in full flower around vacant lots

in Cranbrook; Pulling them up is still the best form of combatEarlier that day, Hast-

ings and two others spent two hours pulling weeds out along a 100-metre stretch of Mission Road. Eleven giant gar-bage bags of weeds were the result, which were taken to the dump later. Eleven garbage bags in two hours by three guys, Hastings said. I chal-lenge city crews to beat that!

Many weed species are in full flower and going to seed: a whos who of invasive flora,

some species which has been growing in the area for decades, some only recently arrived.

And of all these un-welcome aliens, these colonizing visitors, knapweed is the king.

Hastings explains that knapweed can suck water deep out of the ground with its taproot, so it can prosper in drought conditions. Each knapweed plant can produce 40,000 seeds per plant So with that number of

seeds, its success rate doesnt have to be very high.

Knapweed also puts a chemical into the ground catechin which inhibits the ger-mination of the seeds of other species. Knap-weed is almost a su-per-species a su-per-invasive species.

Because its Eur-asian in origin, Hastings said, Its not considered food by wildlife or live-stock. He added that some local ranchers

have been training their cattle to eat knapweed, introducing it into their diet so they get a taste for it.

Right now, the best main window for con-trolling the invasives is past. By and large all the species are in flower, and whether humans like them or not, the bees love them. So her-bicides can no longer be used without causing harm to bee popula-tions.

Hastings says that the best combat is still the most labour intensive pulling the weeds out by hand.

Mowing is anoth-er option, especially early on, which pre-vents the weeds from flowering and going to seed, and also starves the roots. Ju-dicious application of herbicide during the two-month win-dow of June and July is also effective. But pulling remains the best option.

The vacant prop-erty between Eliza-beth Lake and the highway, where the water slides used to be, is a vast field of knap-weed and other inva-sives including dalma-tion toadflax, curled dock, common tansy, burdock and mullein (which weed contrac-tors generally leave alone, as its seeds pro-vide food for birds). There are also tall clus-ters of sweet clover, which is not considered invasive and is generally left alone.

Hastings said be-cause of the proximity of Elizabeth Lake and Jim Smith Creek, spraying is less of an option no herbicide can be put down with 15 metres of a body of water. The best recourse, he says, is to have teams of weed pull-

Yellow Tar WeedCommon TansyBlueweedBurdock gone to seed

Hedge Bind Weed

ers hit the field and pull up the weeds by hand.

In this regard, Hast-ings said, a recent idea of the City of Cran-brook to train teams of summer students to pull weeds is a good idea. What Id start doing is mowing and bagging the flower stalks,then pulling and bagging stems and roots.

Driving along Cobham Road to the

industrial section of Cranbrook, Hastings points out how clean and weed-free the roadsides are. High traffic industrial areas are City priorities for weed eradication, and businesses like Fioren-tino Contracting and Tundra Steel make the effort to clean weeds out of their properties.

But out along Echo Field Road on the way out of town is the field where the stock car race track used to be another expanse of knapweed both spotted knapweed (purple flowers) and diffuse knapweed (white flowers), along with species like blue-

weed, sow thistle and goats beard, proliferate. Hastings shows a plant with short stems and yellow flowers yellow gum weed. Its not list-ed as invasive yet, he says, but its been com-ing in fast.

The big empty city-owned lot by Save-On Foods is mostly clean, except for the area used to dump snow in winter. A lot of the citys gravel trucks used for hauling away snow will be carry-ing weed seeds from the summer, and that area is covered with tall, thick-stemmed weeds, babys breath and hedge bind weed. Hastings shows another relative new-comer yellow tar

weed. Its native to the Pacific North-west, but its been making its way here.

The big industrial lots covered with in-vasive weeds are one thing, but Hast-ings is interested in more awareness of the issue among res-idents. Most people wouldnt know an invasive weed if it hit them, he said.

Private property owners could con-tribute by learning to identify different invasive species and how to eradicate them. Hastings envi-sions things like in-

formation booths at the Farmers Market, for example, so that in-

formation is readily available. The Regional District of East Kootenay and the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council are also both heavily in-volved in the battle against invasive species, and the education there-of.

From Page 3The veteran served

with the Canadian Forces during peace-keeping missions in Bosnia the 1990s and also in other countries during his military ser-vice.

To start off the equine therapy ses-sions, each veteran chooses a horse that they find a connection with and a facilitator will note in which ways the horse mirrors be-haviour of the individu-al.

As an example, the veteran explained one of the exercises of the session that he partici-pated in.

I participated in a few things, like an exer-cise where I bring this horse over here and pick a few points in this field that you want to walk the horse around to, he said.

And then, its how I interact with the horse and how the horse re-acts to my interaction. Basically, the horse didnt want to be pulled around the field, which is exactly like meif someone tries to make me go somewhere, I dig my heels in.

So its that kind of thing, where its just a mirroring of your own issues and then theres opportunities for some really magical connec-tions.

While it may not sound like something revolutionary, its in ob-serving the interactions between the individual and the horse that can be applied to real-life situations outside the therapy sessions, he said.

Like leading the horse around, if some-one is telling me what to do, or if Im trying to get

somebody else to do something, Im going to think more, which is going to allow me more rational action, the vet-eran said.

So thats a big thing for PTSD I think, is just having a reminder to re-ally consider whats going on in our circum-stance, rather than just reacting.

A 2013 survey from the Canadian Armed Forces revealed that 5.3 per cent of members re-ported experiencing PTSD in the prior year. The veteran also noted that military members, or civilians for that mat-ter, dont even have to leave home in order for PTSD symptoms to ap-pear.

Though he had been in counselling for al-most two years, the equine therapy was a new avenue of treat-ment that has made an

immediate impact on his mental health, he said.

Im not sure if its really new, I just think its something that hasnt been explored or appreciated and, for myself, I really didnt have an expectation of it helping me when I first went in, he said.

Coming out the other side, its like those real-people testimonies Oh, yeah, this really works, its cool

I didnt realize it was going to be such a positive driving im-pact.

Supporting Canadians with Disabilities

Our Government recognizes the challenges facing individuals with disabilities and their families.

We also recognize the contributions that persons with disabilities can and do make to the economy, and that employment provides all individuals with a sense of dignity and independence.

Economic Action Plan 2015 builds on the strong legacy left behind by the late Jim Flaherty with measures such as:

Introducing a New Home Accessibility Tax Credit for persons with disabilities to facilitate healthy, and accessible homes.

Creating a Working Group Tasked with Developing a National Autism Action Plan by providing $2 million to Health Canada.

Extending the Temporary Measure that Allows a Qualifying Family Member to Become a Plan Holder of a Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) in order to ensure that all Canadians have access to this landmark savings vehicle.

Facilitating Access to Published Works for Persons Who are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled by acceding to the Marrakesh Treaty.

These actions build on our Government strong legacy of supporting individuals with disabilities and their families, including:

Introducing the landmark Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) which helps parents and grandparents of children with severe disabilities contribute to their childs financial security.

Investing $218 million per year for Labour Market Agreements for Persons with Disabilities to assist provinces in improving the employment situation of Canadians with disabilities.

Investing $30M annually in the Opportunities Fund to help persons with disabilities prepare for and obtain employment.

Supporting caregivers and recognizing their enormous contribution through tax incentives.

townsmAn stAffThe provincial gov-

ernment is investing $211,126 in new trades equipment at the Col-lege of the Rockies to support local students training for occupations critical to the economy, as part of B.C.s Skills for Jobs Blueprint.

The College of the Rockies will use the funding to purchase welders, vibration mon-itoring equipment, a hydraulic puller set with mechanical pliers, and power quality analy-sers.

B.C. expects a mil-lion jobs by 2022 and many of them will be in the East Kootenay, Kootenay East MLA Bill

Bennett said. Ensuring our workers have the skills they need to fill those jobs is a key part of the Skills for Jobs Blueprint. This funding is an example of how our government is re-sponsive to labour-mar-ket needs in our region.

Earlier this year, the government announced $325,274 to purchase new tools and equip-ment at COTR. In addi-tion, $358,440 in fund-ing since 2014 has cre-ated 112 additional seats at COTR, helping to reduce wait lists in high-demand trades programs.

Stan Chung, the Vice President, Education and Applied Research

at the College, says the funding is helping transform trades pro-grams at COTR.

A lot of people dont realize that were gradu-ally becoming a state of the art trades training institution, Chung said. We had older equip-ment and in older days, we werent getting the kind of funding that were getting now, so were really excited to have state of the art equipment for trades training.

He notes that trades programs are becoming very popular and that now is a good time to go back to school in light of slowdowns in the coal and oil and gas indus-

tries. Its a good time to

make a commitment, maybe make a longer commitment towards a career, he added.

Much of the funding will go towards high-de-mand programs such as heavy duty mechanics, welding and industrial mechanics (formerly millwright).

Those programs are hot right now, Chung said. Good high-pay-ing jobs, welders are making tons of money and heavy duty is our top in-demand pro-gram now.

The B.C. govern-ment is investing $185 million over three years in new trades training

equipment and facili-ties to support students entering in-demand sectors, including LNG, shipbuilding and ship repairs and construc-tion.

B.C.s Skills for Jobs Blueprint lays out a major shift to a da-ta-driven system where training dollars and programs are targeted to jobs in demand. Funding and programs are evolving to meet la-bour market needs.

The B.C. govern-ment predicts that there will be one million job openings in the prov-ince by 2022, with 78 per cent of those requir-ing post-secondary ed-ucation.

For the townsmanVERNON, B.C. -

Cadet Dawson Bell of Cranbrook, B.C., was the top cadet in 24 Pla-toon of the Basic Expe-dition Course during the first intake at Vernon Cadet Training Centre (VCTC).

Cadet Bell is a mem-ber of 1813, Cranbrook, Royal Canadian Army Cadets.

Cadet Bell and 53 other army cadets at-tended the three-week Basic Expedition Course which provides cadets with the fundamentals of expedition training. Activities include navi-gation, a five-day expe-dition and adventure training.

During the summer, more than 1,500 army, navy and air cadets from

western Canada will have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

The Cadet Program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are inter-ested in participating in a variety of fun, chal-lenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Ca-nadian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Cana-dian society on a daily basis in terms of envi-ronmental, citizenship and community activi-ties. Cadets also learn valuable life and work

skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizen-ship.

The 1813 Army Cadet Crops is fundraising for a trip to Vimy Ridge to mark the centennial of the famous First World War battle in 2017.

Following the cere-monies, the group is planning to do a tour of Europe to go to other sites of historical signifi-cance during the First and Second World Wars.

The cadets need to put in a down payment on their trip in August and are still a little short of their fundraising goal.

Asof right now, Donald Trump is a legitimate politician. Have a laugh, get it out of your system, then read on.

Now that youve recovered, let me ex-plain.

The Donald is now leading the polling for the Republican presidential nomina-tion. He is on top of a list that includes Jeb Bush, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, among others.

The Huffington Post, a media organization that re-lies on freelance journalism, has declared that their cov-erage of Trump will be put in the entertainment section rather than in politics.

While one can understand the reason-ing behind the decision, the fact that he is polling on top of the field makes that deci-sion a wrong one.

While the rest of the world eyes the up-coming (and never-ending) election with unease and/or disbelief at the possibility of Trump in the White House, it seems as if Republican voters have taken a liking to the brash businessman.

Despite making a few gaffes that wouldve sunk the average politician, such as referring to Mexicans illegally entering America as rapists and criminals or calling into question the integrity of Senator John McCains record as a former POW in the Vietnam War, Trump remains popular in the polls.

Much of his popularity has do to with the novelty of his run.

Trump already has a high profile in America due to his reality show, the Ap-prentice.

He has name recognition, which is what every politician craves.

Though some question how he got there and how much he is worth, he is a

bona fide billionaire and what people look to as an example of the American Dream.

One of the main things Trump has going for himright nowis that hes not a Bush or a Clinton.

Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton are both legitimate candidates to capture their respective party nomina-tions. Bush, regardless of how you feel about H.W. or W, is one of the more mod-erate voices in the Republican field, while Clinton has the savvy and experience to get herself on the Democratic presidential ticket.

However, both have millstones around their necks; Bush has the unpopular legacy of his brothers tenure in office while Hil-lary has the same with her long political career in the Senate and her time as First Lady when husband Bill was in the Oval Office.

Surely the American public must be thinking that there are other presidential candidates out there who dont have the last name of Bush or Clinton. After all, the desire for something fresh is something

that Trump is capitalizing on right now, just as Barack Obama did in 2008.

While it may not work out for him in the long run, his antics and willingness to say whatever is on on his mind is also another reason for his lead in the polls.

Trumps public spat with Senator Lind-say Graham by giving out his personal cell phone number at a political rally was as theatrical as it gets in politics.

And that can be a quality that a certain segment of voters admirea willingness to say or do anything despite how political-ly offensive or incorrect it may be. A feign-ing of authenticity, if you will.

Trumps lead will likely not last as the election date gets closer and the American public has had a chance to hear his thoughts in the primary debates. His lead right now is at the forefront of public con-sciousness in part because of the 24/7 news cycles insatiable appetite for filling airtime.

Will more moderate Republican candi-dates put a dent into Trumps polling?

Eventually, yes, and I predict that will come right around when the GOP primary debates start happening.

However, the primary season doesnt start till next January, giving plenty of time for Trump to further articulate his vision for America or put his foot back in his mouth.

Which, depending on ones perspec-tive, can be one and the same thing.

W hat is the price of winning an election? Steep, if the ultra-busy summer by the Conservative government and its MPs is an indication.

The Harper government, which lays claim to fiscal responsibility, has been giv-ing money away like it has developed an allergy to the plastic in the new currency. Or at least the prime minister, cabinet min-isters and members of par-liament would have us be-lieve they have suddenly dis-covered the need to put bil-lions of taxpayers dollars back into their pockets.

In one of the boldest and brazen moves in my political memory, about $3 billion was mailed out or deposited to the ac-counts of parents last week, purportedly to help with the cost of child care. Can a thou-sand bucks (for parents of two preschool-ers) buy a vote? Time will tell. But if it can, it will be the vote of a person with a spec-tacularly short memory. Keep in mind that this is the same government that knocked off the Child Tax Credit not so long ago, putting parents deeper into the hole at the time. And now, suddenly, about 100 days from a federal election, the Conservatives are spending like Santa and ignoring that fact that they have been saving like Scrooge, all at the expense of the families for which Team Harper expresses such great fond-ness.

Its hard to find fault with the folks who got the money (and who will get monthly payments in the future), but if they think

they are coming out ahead on the deal they might think about auditing their kids math classes. After losing the Child Tax Credit and then paying taxes (the bill will come long after the election) on the new largesse, they wont be much further ahead than they were a few years ago.

Meanwhile, Conservative MPs having been putting miles on their vehicles in

what is usually the quiet summer period, presenting cheques for projects and even elbowing their way into photo ops for money that has already been spent. Per-sonally, Id be embarrassed by the whole thing, but then my job doesnt involve ruin-

ing a country and claiming its for our own good.

As pathetic as last weeks vote-buying scheme was, I was equally offended by an-other bit of news that barely made a blip in the media. Federal bureaucrats and media flacks were instructed to produce three press releases each week that focused on the theme of terrorism. A frightened elec-torate is less likely to vote for change, and terrorism is almost as frightening as the way this government runs our country.

When the directive was made public, Harpers response was as predictable as it was facetious. We will not apologize to Ca-nadians for making them aware of the threats we face from terrorists, he said.

I was reminded of a class back when I was studying journalism. We learned of the infamous coverage provided by American

newspapers in the late 1800s, when papers owned by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer made up stories in an effort to shape public support for a war against Spain over its involvement in Cuba. The story goes that a reporter sent to Cuba tele-grammed Hearst saying that all was quiet and that there will be no war. Hearst was long reputed to have replied, You furnish the pictures and Ill furnish the war. That particularly incident might have been apocryphal, but it serves as a fair illustra-tion about how Hearst newspapers operat-ed in those days.

With the concentration of national media today the reporting of news is easily manipulated, and there is no reason to be-lieve that Conservative-leaning newspa-pers, radio and television wont delight in running with government-reported news releases about terrorist threats. Under Harpers leadership, federal policing has largely moved its focus from crime to the supposed threats of terrorism, in large part because the latter keeps the population uneasy and fearful. Uncle Steve, much like Uncle Sam, is watching over us and pro-tecting our best interests, the Conservatives would have us believe.

Hogwash, I say. But this Hearst/Karl Rove-like approach worked to perfection in electing and keeping George W. Bush in office for eight years and its hardly surpris-ing that the prime minister has bought into the program.

This is The lifeLorne Eckersley

It was not so much a straw in the wind as a cheese in the wind. Its a chewy, salty cheese that is deli-cious grilled: halloumi, as they call it in the Greek-speaking Republic of Cyprus, or hellim, as it is known in the Turkish Re-public of North Cyprus.

This week, the islands two rival gov-ernments jointly applied to the European Union to give halloumi/hellim Protected Designation of Origin status, like French champagne or Greek feta, so that no other producer can use the name. It was a small miracle.

Cyrus has been divided since 1974, when a bloody coup backed by the gener-als regime in Athens, intended to unite the island with the mother country, was answered by a Turkish invasion to protect the Turkish-Cypriot minority. Turkey ended up holding the northern third of the island, and Greek-Cypriots who lived in that part of Cyprus fled south while Turkish-Cypriots in the southern part of the island fled north.

When the dust settled, there were two Cypruses: the internationally recognised Republic of Cyprus, now almost exclu-sively Greek-speaking, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), re-cognised by nobody except Turkey. Forty-one years later, Cyprus is still divided but maybe not for much longer.

The Greek-Cypriots have done much better since the split. With a legitimate state that is now a member of the Euro-pean Union, they can trade and travel freely, and per capita income on the Greek side is twice what that of the Turk-

ish side. But it hasnt all been roses: the Greek-Cypriot banks ran wild during the boom years, and the country is just emer-ging from an EU-backed bail-out that hurt a lot.

For the Turkish-Cypriots, time is run-ning out. There are only 120,000 of them, and they are already outnumbered by the

Turkish immigrants, most of them ill-educated and un-skilled, who have flooded in since 1974. In the past ten years, with a conservative Is-lamic government in Turkey, they have also been facing the creeping Islamisation of

their traditionally secular society.So the Turkish-Cypriots have good rea-

son to seek a deal that gives them their own state within a reunited, federal Cy-prus. For Greek-Cypriots a deal is less ur-gent, but with 30,000 Turkish troops still on the island and neighbours whose identity is becoming more Turkish and less Cypriot their future is uncertain. The problem is that presidents come and go, and there are rarely presidents on both sides willing to make a deal at the same time.

Now there are. Mustafa Akinci was elected president of the TRNC in April, and immediately asked to start reunifica-tion talks with his opposite number, Presi-dent Nicos Anastasiades who immedi-ately agreed. The passage of time is not helping a solution, said Akinci. The more time passes, the more the division becomes consolidated.

There is much optimism about these talks, because both leaders understand that there can be no going back to the good old days before 1974 (good for the

Greek-Cypriots, at least, although many Turkish-Cypriots were living under siege in barricaded ghettoes). Most of the refu-gees of 1974 (or their descendants) will not be going home again. Too much has happened, and even now Turkish-Cypri-ots would not feel safe in a unitary state.

But a federal republic with two states, each largely but not exclusively commu-nal, is perfectly possible. It would free Turkish-Cypriots from their long isola-tion, and expand economic opportunities for people in both communities. The Turkish army would go home, the barbed wire and entrenchments of the Green Line would vanish, and Nicosia, the worlds last divided capital, would be one city again.

It is just good sense, and Presidents Akinci and Anastasiades will probably make the deal Akinci reckons they will be there before the end of the year. There is just one problem. A very similar reunifi-cation was negotiated in 2003-04 with the help of the European Union and the blessings of both the United Nations and the United States.

In the 2004 referendum, the Turkish Cypriots voted for it by a two-to-one ma-jority, but the Greek-Cyriots rejected it by a crushing three-to-one majority. After all, they greatly outnumber the Turk-ish-Cypriots and they are far richer. Things are peaceful right now, so why should they compromise?

Because Cyprus lives in a very danger-ous neighbourhood, and its a really bad idea to keep the old domestic hostilities going as well.

Rutledge helps Russian rowing revolutionCranbrook native takes pride in helping others to success; set on assisting Russian women to 2016 Olympic Games

Photo submitted

Cranbrooks Ben Rutledge (front centre) poses with the Russian womens eight-plus rowing team fol-lowing their victory at the 2015 European Rowing Championships in Poznan, Poland. Rutledge is a junior coach with the squad, which hopes to earn a spot at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

In 2008, Ben Rutledge won an Olympic gold medal as a member of the Canadian mens eight-plus rowing squad.

Shortly after that, he retired and took to coaching the sport at the University of British Columbia.

Now seven years after his Olympic victo-ry, the 35-year-old Cranbrook native is in pursuit of further Olym-pic greatness, this time as a junior coach with the Russian womens eight-plus rowing team.

What makes the Rus-sian rowing revolution so significant is that after finishing second last at the 2014 European Row-ing Championships, the team turned around to claim gold at the 2015 European Rowing Championships in Poznan, Poland, a year after Rutledges arrival.

With the 2016 Sum-mer Olympic Games right around the corner, the Russian crew is in-tent on making its way to the podium in Rio De Janiero a year from now.

The daily focus and effort during the winter months is where you make your biggest gains, Rutledge wrote via email, giving credit to the teams dedication to training. Last summer at the world champion-ships, they were able to improve very quickly in a short period of time in our environment and that has helped them stay focused and moti-vated through the long winter.

As a junior coach, Rutledge isnt the only man responsible for helping with the rejuve-nation of the Russian womens rowing pro-gram. In fact, he charac-terizes himself as merely a cog in the much bigger machine that is the Rus-sian Rowing Federation.

While still competing in Canada, Rutledge was guided by Mike Sprack-len -- a veteran coach of nine Summer Olympic Games. According to Rutledge, it is the former International Rowing Federation coach of the

year who is largely re-sponsible for Russias sharpened edge on the global rowing scene.

Spracklen took over the Russian mens row-ing program in the fall of 2014, helping the eight-plus team to a sil-ver-medal performance at the 2014 European Rowing Championships.

Having seen the turnaround of the mens team, the Russian Row-ing Federation set Spracklen to work his magic with the womens eight-plus squad. But Spracklen wasnt about to do it on his own. He insisted on having someone who under-stood his system.

Enter Rutledge.I had been staying

in contact with Mike and had told him if he ever needed any help Id be keen to be involved, Rutledge wrote.

I had some friends looking out for me and had run into the leader-ship of the Russian fed-eration, letting them know I could be avail-able. So they contacted me and I went over last summer on a trial basis.

According to Rut-ledge, the program was well organized and well funded with motivated athletes upon his arrival, but unfortunately, they had yet to achieve much success internationally.

[Spracklen] had spent the past six months developing a work ethic with the mens team, Rutledge wrote. When I came in to coach the women, they had good role models to follow.

It didnt take long for Spracklens system and Rutledges guidance to have an impact on the womens eight-plus team, which beat out the likes of the Nether-lands, Romania, Ger-many, Great Britain and Belarus to claim gold at the 2015 European Rowing Championships on May 31.

du Toit hits Oregon in search of Pacific Northwest successKimberley golfer in pursuit of another title, this time at Pacific Coast Amateur Championship in Eugene

Alfie lAu Photo

Kimberleys Jared du Toit, pictured during his run to claiming the 113th B.C. Amateur Championship, is in contention at the 49th Pacific Amateur Championship in Eugene, Ore.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Jared du Toits sum-mer on the links wears on as he prepares for the 2015 Canadian Mens Amateur Champion-ship set for Aug. 10 to 13 in Toronto.

This week, the Kim-berley native finds him-self at the Eugene Coun-try Club in Eugene, Ore., in search of another title, this time at the 49th Pacific Coast Amateur Championship.

The local linkster sits one-over par in a tie for seventh place after two rounds at Eugene Coun-try Club, four strokes behind leader Will Zala-toris (three-under).

Playing his first round on Tuesday, du Toit fired a two-under 68 before following up with a three-over 73 on Wednesday afternoon.

Eugene Country Club features 6,975 yards of track for com-petitors to conquer.

du Toit is one of five Canadians at the invita-tional amateur event.

Kevin Carrigan (Vic-toria) and Brandon

Markiw (Edmonton) find themselves at six-over par following 36 holes of play. Brett Hogan (Calgary) is nine-over and Jordan Lu (Vancouver) sits at 12-over par.

The summer of 2015 has been a big one for Canadas second-ranked mens amateur golfer.

The Kimberley Golf Club member claimed the 113th B.C. Amateur Championship on July 19, shortly after an-nouncing he was trans-ferring to Arizona State University from the Uni-versity of Idaho ahead of the 2015-16 NCAA golf season.

The field at Eugene Golf Club is limited to 84 players comprised of individuals invited by the Pacific Coast Golf Association (PCGA) president and recruiting committee and individ-uals representing PCGA member associations. The British Columbia Golf Association (BCGA) is a member as-sociation of the PCGA.

Though the event and its present history began in 1967, the inau-

gural Pacific Coast Ama-teur Championship was hosted at the San Fran-cisco Golf Club at The Presidio from April 24 to 27, 1901.

The tournament continued through 1911, after which it ceased to exist until its reincarnation in 1967.

Corey Pereira of Cameron Park, Calif., claimed the 2014 cham-pionship.

The last Canadian to win the Pacific Coast Amateur Championship was Calgarys Jordan Irwin in 2008. Irwin earned the title when the tournament was contest at Royal Colwood Golf Club in Victoria, B.C.

Eugene Country Club last hosted the event in 2010.

The Eugene Country Club was established in 1899 and is the sec-ond-oldest country club in the state of Oregon.

The current golf course was designed in 1923.

In 2016, the Eugene Country Club will host the NCAA Mens Divi-sion I Golf Champion-ship.

Blades acquire Sayers from RoyalsTaylor rocc a

The Saskatoon Blades bolstered its blue line with the acquisition of defenceman Bryton Say-ers on Wednesday.

The Blades acquired the native of Prince Al-bert from the Victoria Royals in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft.

The 5-foot-10, 198-pound Sayers split the 2014-15 WHL campaign between the Royals and Lethbridge Hurricanes. In 58 total games, the rearguard registered three goals and 12 points, along with 30 minutes in penalties.

The 19-year-old was originally a third-round pick (48th overall) of the Lethbridge Hurricanes at the 2011 WHL Ban-tam Draft.

In 104 career WHL contests, Sayers has scored seven goals and added 16 assists for 23 points.

Notes: The Swift Cur-rent Broncos announced the hiring of Ryan Smith as associate coach on

Wednesday. Smith spent the 2014-15 season as head coach and general manager of the SJHLs Humboldt Broncos ... The next time the Koote-nay Ice visit Kamloops, they will face the Blazers in the freshly renamed Sandman Centre. The naming rights to the riv-

erfront arena previously known as Interior Sav-ings Centre, have been acquired by Sandman Hotel Group. The City of Kamloops signed a 10-year naming-rights part-nership with hotel chain on Wednesday. The name change will take place on Aug. 31.

With European gold on the mantle, the Rus-sian womens eight-plus team, along with Rut-ledge, now have their sights set on the podium at the 2015 World Row-ing Championships, set for Aug. 30 to Sept. 6 in Aiguebelette, France.

Ultimately, the team is aiming to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olym-pic Games in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. A top-five finish at the 2015 World Championships will achieve that.

We need to be in the medal hunt this year [at the World Champion-ships] if we expect to have a shot at one next year [in Brazil], Rut-ledge wrote.

Over time, I have come to learn that I get the most satisfaction out of helping people and seeing them succeed.

Having already claimed his own Olym-pic gold medal in com-petition, the Canadian rowing great from the

little mountain town of Cranbrook is intent on guiding his hard-work-ing Russian team to their own Olympic glory in 2016.

The Russian womens eight team features Julia Kalinovskaya (bow), Yulia Inozemtseva (seat two), Elena Lebedeva (seat three), Anastasia Tkhanova (seat four), Anastasia Karabelshchi-kova (seat five), Aleksan-dra Fedorova (seat six), Julia Popova (seat seven), Alevtina Savkina (stroke) and Ksenia Volkova (coxswain).

The team trains in Valday, Russia, located approximately 400 kilo-metres northwest of Moscow on Lake Val-dayskoye.

Rutledge attended Mount Baker Secondary School while growing up in Cranbrook, before moving on to earn a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of British Columbia.

Mass. - The Winter Clas-sic is coming to the home of the New En-gland Patriots.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman joined of-ficials from the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens on Wednes-

day to say the Original Six rivals would meet at Gillette Stadium on New Years Day. The Bruins will be the first team to host the event twice. They also hosted it in 2010, at Fenway Park.

Bettman notes that the three organizations are among the most suc-

cessful in their sports, with 34 championships. The Canadiens have won 24 of those, but the Patriots are the defend-ing Super Bowl champs.

Bettman also says the league has extended the games title sponsor-ship with Bridgestone for another five years.

NEWARK, N.J. - New Jersey Devils forward Dain-ius Zubrus was placed on unconditional waivers by the team Wednesday with the intention of ending his contract.

The 37-year-old Zubrus played for the Devils the last eight seasons and was to earn $3.1 million in the final year of a three-year, $9.3 million deal.

The Lithuanian had 10 points in 74 games last season. Zubrus played played in 1,243 NHL games, scoring 225 goals and adding 359 assists.

F O X B O R O U G H , Mass. - Tom Brady vowed to fight his four-game suspension for the scandal known as De-flategate, writing Wednesday in a 507-word Facebook post: I did nothing wrong, and no one in the Patriots organization did either.

Breaking his silence a day after NFL Com-missioner Roger Good-ell upheld the punish-ment, Brady also denied destroying his cellphone to keep it out of the hands of investigators.

To suggest that I de-stroyed a phone to avoid

giving the NFL informa-tion it requested is com-pletely wrong, the three-time Super Bowl MVP said. There is no smok-ing gun and this contro-versy is manufactured to distract from the fact they have zero evidence of wrongdoing.

Brady was suspended four games and the team was docked $1 million and two draft picks after the NFL found improp-erly inflated footballs were used in the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. Investigator Ted Wells zeroed in on two equipment managers - one who called himself

The Deflator - and said Brady was at least gen-erally aware of the ille-gal deflation scheme.

The Patriots went on to win the Super Bowl for their fourth NFL title under Brady and coach Bill Belichick.

Brady, who earlier denied cheating accusa-tions with the tepid I dont think so, defended himself in the Facebook post, claiming he co-op-erated with the investi-gation except where doing so would have set

a bad precedent for union brethren.

I respect the Com-missioners authority, but he also has to re-spect the (collective bar-gaining agreement) and my rights as a private citizen, Brady wrote. I will not allow my unfair discipline to become a precedent for other NFL players without a fight.

Much of the post in-volved an explanation of Bradys cellphone swap, which was cited by Goodell as new evidence of the quarterbacks fail-ure to co-operate. Brady said he replaced a bro-ken phone only after his lawyers told the league

they couldnt have it.Most importantly, I

have never written, text-ed, emailed to anybody at anytime, anything re-lated to football air pres-sure before this issue was raised at the AFC Championship game in January, he wrote.

Bradys comments were liked by 51,000 people - including his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen - in the first 30 minutes after it was post-ed on Facebook. The Pa-triots were scheduled to open training camp later Wednesday; it was not clear when Brady would speak to the media for the first time.

THURSDAY, JULY 30, 2015 PAGE 13DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETINAluminum FencingOne of the most basic and attrac-tive fencing types is aluminum. While it does not provide the amount of security many home-owners look for in a fence, its relatively maintenance free and can essentially look like any oth-er type discussed in this article. The only maintenance will come during installation when you choose to paint and decorate it. However, along with the security, its not as strong as you may think and we do not recommend it for areas with severe weather.

Wood FencingWood is the most popular fenc-ing type across Canada. Not only does it give homeowners a sense of privacy with the height wood fencing provides, but they are also one of the more attractive options on the market. They give home-owners a warm and welcoming feeling and without the headache of breaking the bank. Beware that the height and size of your fence will greatly impact the price. The more lumber you need, the more expensive the project will be. On top of that, like all fences, they take awhile to install. Therefore, a smaller fence will clearly be

The type of fence you choose will not only play a key role in your homes exterior design, but also provide one of the most

important benefits of all homes; security. Privacy and security are two of the most common reasons Canadians look to buy homes.

A professionally installed fence gives every homeowner that true sense of home we all desire. Fencing, whether it be wood, chain

link or wrought iron, will greatly affect your sense of home.

Home Garden& 9 Types of Fencescheaper than a larger one.On the plus side, wood fences can easily last the lifetime of your home. Just like hardwood floors, the quality of your fence will greatly depend on the type of wood you choose. Needless to say, you have plenty to choose from.

PVC FencingHands down, the cheapest way to fence in your yard is by using one made of PVC. These fences use PVC to replace wooden stakes and pickets, and although not nearly as sturdy, they can certainly serve their purpose. The posts are PVC sleeves that go on top of wooden posts to add stability to the fence, but also cut down on material costs by using less wood. Some-times, the PVC stakes are attached with an adhesive to the cross bars and other times, they are fastened with screws. This type of fencing comes in a variety of different heights and colors. Because of its PVC makeup, the fence is very resistant to the elements and can last for years.

Wrought Iron FencingWhen you see homes with funky designs on top of their fences, oftentimes, those homeown-

ers chose a wrought iron fence. While wrought iron fences are both strong and beautiful, they do require constant upkeep. If you want to maintain its beauty, wrought iron fences need to be sanded or repainted every two to three years.Furthermore, going back to the security portion of the conver-sation, wrought iron fences are not popular choices for the more conservative homeowner. On top of that, wrought iron fences are custom made and therefore, will not be cheap.

Vinyl FencingOther than cost, vinyl fencing is elite when it comes to any other category. In fact, according to our friends at HomeAdvisor, some manufacturers claim that vinyl fences are nearly five times stron-ger and four times more flexible than comparable wood fences.Vinyl fencing is maintenance free and resists paint, allowing you to easily clean graffiti or any other unwanted stains. All you will need is a hose and soap to make it look as good as new.Installing a vinyl fence may have a higher upfront cost, but given its

low maintenance costs and long lifespan, vinyl fencing is cheaper than many other fencing types.

Chain Link FencingChain link fences do not add much privacy to the home, but perform the other basic functions of a fence quite well. Homeown-ers, as well as school adminis-trators (very popular), will be delighted to know that they are cheap, durable and need v
