A planned burn-off on Monday to burn away fuel towards the fire was success-ful and helped created a con-tainment line.
The Rocky Mountain Unit Crew, which focused on the southeast corner of the fire on Tuesday, is getting relieved by a sustained action crew that has been brought in from On-tario.
There are currently 47 fire-fighters and four pieces of heavy equipment—along
with helicopters and air tank-ers as needed—working on the fire.
In another area of RDEK jurisdiction, a fire near Spilli-macheen hasn’t grown and remains at 54 hectares in size.
The fire is roughly 30 per cent contained and is burn-ing north of the highway.
There are 43 firefighters, five pieces of heavy equip-ment and aerial support at-tacking the blaze. Two nearby homes have been protected
by the RDEK’s Windermere FIre Structural Protection Unit, while one other remains under an evacuation alert.
In an update from the pro-vincial government, Steve Thomson, Minister of For-ests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations, con-firmed that 70 personnel were arriving from Ontario to assist with wildfire efforts.
“Because wildfire activity is increasing throughout the province, our firefighting ca-pacity is becoming chal-
lenged,” said Thomson. “We are very grateful for the help we are receiving from our partners in Ontario.”
The group, which includes sustained-action firefighters and other specialized per-sonnel, will be split between Cranbrook and Abbotsford, where they will be deployed as needed.
Additionally, two amphib-ious skimming aircraft, one bird dog, and an air attack officer arrived in Kamloops on Tuesday.
There are roughly 1,000 of B.C.’s 1,400 firefighters cur-rently deployed to combat fire activity across the prov-ince.
As reported by the minis-try on Monday, there were 23 new fires that bring total ac-tivity up to 184 active wild-fires within B.C. To date this season, the B.C. Wildfire Ser-vice has responded to 887 wildfires.
There is currently a prov-ince-wide fire ban in effect that can bring heavy conse-
quences if violated. Failure to abide by the order can result in a $345 fine, an administra-tive penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, a fine of up to $100,000 and/or one year in jail.
Human-caused wildfires are preventable and the pub-lic is B.C.’s first line of defence against forest fires. Please be diligent when in the back-country, and report all wild-fires to 1 800 663-5555 or *5555 on your mobile phone.
Tre vor Cr awleyPack up the kids and
head out to the Koote-nay Trout Hatchery this Saturday to help them kick off summer by par-ticipating in family ac-tivities and meeting special guests.
Hatchery staff are hoping to make it an an-nual event for families to come out and join in some fun games and ac-tivities, as well as to meet some of our spe-cial guests and learn about local groups with-in their community.
Everything will start at 10:30 a.m. and run till 3:30 p.m.
While there is the Learn to Fish pond on site and the interpretive tours as part of normal Hatchery operations, there will also be other activities and games such as fish races, ar-chery, fly tying, face
painting, horse back rides and a souvenir table.
Special guests will in-clude groups and orga-nizations such as at the Ft. Steele Visitor Centre, Archery Club, Boys and Girls Club, BC Parks, Fish and Wildlife Com-pensation Program and many more.
A few food vendors will be on site as well for something to eat if hun-ger strikes. It is a free event, however dona-tions are appreciated.

When Mike Trem-blay heard the Six Mile fire was nearing his par-ents’ property, he sped from his place in the Junction to see how he could help. By mid af-ternoon he was hauling firewood down the hill as sheet-like walls of smoke ascended behind him.
“My family has been here sixty years and we’ve never been threat-ened by a fire like this before,” he said.
“The smoke came quite far down the hill-side, and I saw all these great photos on Face-book. It’s kind of hard to do the speed limit when you’re driving out to your childhood home to see what’s going on.”
Other family mem-bers helped the Trem-blays relocate their be-longings. Tremblay said he’s bringing water for his parents because their creek now has a “smoky flavour”.
Speaking to the Star at approximately 12:15,
Tremblay expressed op-timism that the fire would continue to spread over the ridge to-wards Duhamel and away from the residenc-es along Highway 3A.
Though plumes of smoke continued to bil-low skyward, it seemed like the fire was sizzling out after multiple hits of retardant from fire crews.
As of 10:42 a.m. BC Wildfire said there are currently 25 firefighters on the scene and a full response was underway
using helicopters and air tankers.
“There’s definitely a lot of helicopter and plane support, so that’s great,” said Tremblay.
Beside Highway 3A, cyclist Kevin Berduco was standing watching the fire’s progress.
“It’s been creeping down. It seems to be about halfway now, into this little valley. You got to feel for these people. Let’s hope they get on top of this before their homes get hit, because they’re surrounded by a
pretty big fire load.”At 12:30 p.m., the
RDCK confirmed the evacuation alert was still in place and estimated the blaze’s swath had decreased by 30 hect-ares.
“Ground fire and flight crews, with the aid of water bombers and a tanker, continue to bat-tle the blaze. The fire is approximately 120 hect-ares in size. Currently, the prevailing winds are moving the fire up the mountain.”

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has spent more than $80 million so far this year battling forest fires, on a pace for one of the worst fire sea-sons on record.
There were 27 new fire starts reported in B.C. on Sunday alone, with 184 active fires being fought across the province and nine evac-uation alerts and orders in effect as of Monday affecting 800 homes.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the unusual early dry spell has provincial costs run-ning ahead of 2003, where devastating fires at Barriere near Kam-loops and in the Okana-gan destroyed or dam-aged 238 homes and burned 12 wooden tres-tles in the Myra Canyon stretch of the historic Kettle Valley Railway.
The 2009 fire season is the most expensive on record, with $382 mil-lion spent, compared to $375 million in 2003. Those years also saw prolonged drought, but it set in later in the sum-mer.
A tree-faller was killed Sunday while working on a fire on the
Sunshine Coast, the lat-est reminder of the dan-ger of firefighting. In 2010, two air tanker pi-lots were killed, and a helicopter pilot died fighting a fire in 2009.
There is no budget limit for forest fire ex-penditures. While the costs have to be ac-counted for after the season, de Jong said he
is more concerned with the continued careless-ness of people despite the financial and human costs.
“I was driving down the highway yesterday and I saw someone throw a cigarette out of their car,” de Jong said. “Give your head a shake. I don’t know what is wrong with people who
wantonly put other peo-ple’s lives and property at risk.”
B.C. has often lent its experienced fire crews to other jurisdictions, but in 2009 more than 1,800 people were brought in from most other provinces, the U.S. and even Australia and New Zealand.
That may be more
difficult this season, with severe conditions across Western Canada. In Saskatchewan, where 12,000 people have fled their homes, Premier Brad Wall announced Monday that up to 1,000 Canadian Forces troops may be called in to help.

Canada Day 2015 will remain in my memory for aeons. I did nothing. It was a hot day and I cowered inside in
a/c comfort. I may have wandered outside in order to sneakily water the flowers. It was, after all a Wednesday and watering is illegal on Wednesdays in the city of Cranbrook. I shall probably be in trouble over that infrac-tion.
However, one reason for my doing nothing on Canada’s Day was because I was recover-ing from the day before. Jack and Ranger, his dog, and I had been for a stroll on Lakit Peak, probably to celebrate still being able to get to the top, despite the heat.
We’d refrained from waving flags patri-otically and singing paeans of praise to our country; we sat and admired the view. We shot off no fireworks.
No, it was on the way homeward that the ‘fireworks’ began. Well, my al-most-new-vehicle began to protest about something or other but not actually belch flames; it did steam a tad and funny sym-bols appeared on the dashboard screens. As usual, I was unable to make sense of any them but I was worried. I am of an age when kilometers of tramping in the heat of a summer’s afternoon didn’t appeal to me, so we kept rolling and eventually made it to town where my almost-new-vehicle gave up the ghost in front of a dealer of a
different make of vehicles. We sought and found refuge.
We were well looked after by a kindly salesman who phoned my dealer and set things in action, for which we were most appreciative.
At the crack of dawn on the following Friday I was awakened by the strident ring-ing of my home phone. I attempted to ig-nore it at first then stomped to the kitchen
where I noted that I was being called from an un-identified number. I yelled “What? This had better be good.” A polite young man identified himself as being at the dealer who had sold me that almost-new-vehi-cle and that it was ready for
me to retrieve. Then, probably unable to contain himself, he informed me that they had found a great big, feisty marmot under the hood.
Momentarily stunned I tried to picture a hoary marmot, a whistler under my hood and tried to imagine what it had been doing there and, if it had been hitch-hiking for some reason or other, what had it done to stop the vehicle in the middle of the road outside the wrong dealer. No grati-tude. I ended up paying towing charges, for crying out loud.
I retrieved my vehicle Thursday morn-ing and it did seem not to have suffered too badly. There was great excitement in the dealers; each and everyone wanted to tell
me how the marmot had been discovered by the mechanic, how several of them had attempted to extract the animal which, in-cidentally, grew bigger and fiercer with each recounting, and how someone at last had fought off the beast, grabbed it by the tail and flung it clear.
Naturally, I asked what had happened to the monster and was told that someone from the game department had eutha-nized it and taken it away. I felt sad and guilty because, after all of those years of hitch-hiking myself, nobody had actually euthanized me. That happened naturally.
It was only later that Jack and I remem-bered the huge Marmot that had screamed at us where we’d parked before heading up the trail to Lakit. Jack also recalled that Ranger, his dog had had the temerity to bark at my almost-new-vehicle before we climbed aboard to start homeward.
Strange to tell, not one of the myriad bells, whistles or flashing lights in my al-most-new-vehicle deigned to inform me that there was a largish, feral animal lurk-ing under the hood.
When I recounted – in lurid details – the events of our and the Whistler’s misadven-tures to my neighbour Ron, he suggested that I might find myself charged under some act or other for transporting protect-ed fauna without a licence. He capped his comments with “You’ll probably be hear-ing from the S.P.C.A too.”

Trio of Cranbrook boys to represent B.C. RugbyZak Campbell, Conor and Callum Sinclair named to B.C. Rugby squads following Provincial Regional Championships

A trio of Cranbrook boys will represent B.C. on the provincial rugby pitch in coming weeks.
Zak Campbell, Conor Sinclair and Callum Sin-clair have all been se-lected to suit up for B.C. Rugby after represent-ing Vancouver South at the B.C. Rugby Provin-cial Regional Champi-onships in Burnaby from June 27 to 28.
Campbell suited up as a member of the U-14 squad, while both Sin-clair brothers represent-ed Vancouver South at the U-16 level.
The Provincial Re-gional Championships serve as part of the se-lection process for de-termining provincial squads at each age level.
Following regional tournament, Callum Sinclair was named to the B.C. Rugby’s U-14
team, which will train and compete in Kelow-na from Aug. 4 to 10.
Campbell, along with Connor Sinclair, were named to the B.C. Rugby U-16 training team, which will train and compete in North Van-couver from July 12 to 18. From there, 24 players will be selected to repre-sent B.C. Rugby in Kelowna at the Western National Training Camp, which takes place July 28 to 30 and leads into a set of matches against prai-rie rugby squads (July 31 and Aug. 2).
All three boys spent time in White Rock during the month of June to practice with their respective Vancou-ver South teams prior to the Provincial Regional Championships.
In order to compete at the Provincial Rugby Championships, the boys were left to join the
Lower Mainland squads as no Kootenay regional team was entered into the tournament.
In addition to being named to the U-16 train-ing squad, Conor Sin-clair was also selected as a member of the B.C. Rugby U-16 sevens team.
This will be Conor’s second time represent-ing B.C. as a member of its U-16 sevens squad. In February 2015, he travelled to Nevada for the Las Vegas Invitation-al Rugby Sevens Cham-pionships, where the B.C. U-16s claimed their divisional title after de-feating Colorado, Ontar-io, Utah and a pair of U.S. regional teams.
“I was impressed with [Conor’s] work ethic and attitude,” said coach Tony LaCarte, fol-lowing the 2015 North American Rugby Sevens Championships. “[He] ran well, distributed un-
selfishly, tackled fiercely and sold a nice dummy here and there.”
As a member of the U-16 sevens team, Conor will head to Vic-toria for training July 8 to 10 before taking to the
pitch for the Victoria In-ternational Youth Sev-ens tournament from July 10 to 11.
Conor and his U-16 mates are registered in the U-18 open division and will face teams from
Alberta, Utah, the Lower Mainland and Vancou-ver Island.
Rugby sevens is a variant of rugby union in which teams are comprised of seven players to a side, as op-
posed to the typical 15 players a side.
Rugby sevens has been recognized as an Olympic sport and will debut at the 2016 Sum-mer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The opening round of play was completed Tuesday on the Park Meadows Course at Os-oyoos Golf Club, with Ole Hatlelid (Ladner) and Patrick Tan (Van-couver) sharing a tie for the lead at two-under par.
The top showing from the East Kootenay came courtesy of Russell du Toit (Kimberley), who put forth two-over score of 74 to take a share of 21st place into the club-house after one round.
Kimberley’s Justin Sawley (T-69, 12-over) along with Nathan Nichol (73rd, 16-over) and Jonace Johnson (76th, 33-over), both of Cranbrook, all have work to do heading into second-round action.
Other competitors from the Kootenays in-clude: Braden McKay of Rossland (T-12, one-over), Hanno Southam
of Nelson (T-21, two-over), Ely Overennay of Castlegar (T-49, sev-en-over), Carson Arcuri of Nelson (T-64, 10-over) and Ethan Paton of Salmo.
All scores and rank-ings are as of print dead-line Tuesday afternoon.
The second round of play gets underway Wednesday morning.
du Toit is scheduled to tee off at 1:30 p.m. (Mountain), Nichol goes at 1:50 p.m., John-son tees it up at 2 p.m. and Sawley is slated to begin at 2:10 p.m.
Round three goes Thursday and round four will be played Fri-day.
du Toit and Sawley both hail from Kimber-ley Golf Club. Nichol’s home track is Shadow Mountain Golf Course and Johnson comes from Cranbrook Golf Club.
The Park Meadows
Course at Osoyoos Golf Club is a 6,351-yard track when played from the championship tees.
A total of 156 com-petitors, aged 18 and under as of Aug. 1, are registered in the event.
The top 13 golfers (and ties) from the BCGA Junior Boys’ Champion-ship will qualify to com-pete at the Canadian Ju-nior Boys’ Golf Champi-onship, scheduled to begin Aug. 4 in Vau-dreuil-Dorion, Que.
BCGA can send a total of 22 players to the national junior champi-onships. Any slots re-maining following the provincial champion-ship will be filled at the discretion of the BCGA.
19th Hole: The BCGA Junior Girls’ Champion-ship, hosted at Cordova Bay Golf Course in Victo-ria, played its first round on Tuesday. Results were unavailable by print deadline.

aSSocIaTED PrESSST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Blues say they have
signed star forward Vladimir Tarasenko to an eight-year, $60 million contract.
General manager Doug Armstrong announced the move Tuesday, locking up the 23-year-old Tarasenko after a season in which he made his first career All-Star game and was 10th in the NHL with 73 points, including 37 goals, to go along with a plus-27 rating. He was the youngest Blues player with a 30-goal season since Brendan Shanahan in 1991-92.
Drafted 16th overall by the Blues in 2010, Tarasen-ko has 135 points (66 goals, 69 assists) in 179 career regular-season games over parts of three seasons. He also has 10 goals and an assist in 13 playoff games.
The Blues recently traded forward T.J. Oshie to Washington for Troy Brouwer, goalie Pheonix Cop-ley and a third-round pick in next year’s draft. St. Louis will have coach Ken Hitchcock back next sea-son, when they hope to advance farther in the post-season. The Blues were ousted in the first round by Minnesota.
Blues sign Tarasenko to eight-year, $60-million deal
c aNaDIaN PrESSTORONTO - It seems
the CFL’s new rule changes are having the desired affect.
The league an-nounced Tuesday that through the first two weeks of the regular sea-son both scoring and net offence are up from last year. Teams have scored an average of 52.4 points per game (compared to 45.5 points last year) and ac-cumulated 725 yards per contest (compared to 652 in 2014).
The CFL’s board of governors were hoping to inject more offence into games when it ad-opted the rule change this off-season that nei-ther a defensive back nor a receiver could ini-tiate contact five yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Another new rule was the five in-terior linemen on punts being unable to leave the line of scrimmage until the ball is kicked, thus giving the returner more room to run.
Through two games, Hamilton’s Brandon Banks has taken two punts back for touch-
downs.Teams are also ad-
justing to the new pass-ing rules as 21 penalties for illegal contact on a receiver have been is-sued this season. Last year there were five.
More flags have been dropped, with an aver-age of 29 penalties per game. That’s up 23 per cent from this time last year however both off-side and objectionable conduct calls are up 83 per cent and 44 per cent, respectively.
Another notable off-season rule change was pushing convert at-tempts back 20 yards to the 32. The move was made to make the extra point less of a foregone conclusion.
So far, kickers have made 25-of-30 converts (83.3 per cent) whereas 99.4 per cent of conver-sions were successful in 2014.
The league also changed its two-point convert policy, moving the ball from the five-yard line to the three-yard line. Twelve two-point attempts have been made, with eight being successful.

SILVIS, Ill. - Most golfers believe the path to the British Open title starts a week early in Scotland.
Jordan Spieth is content to stay at home and con-tinue his Grand Slam push at the tournament that launched his PGA Tour career.
Spieth will play this weekend at the John Deere Classic in western Illinois, rather than prepping for St. Andrews by playing the links course at the Scot-tish Open.
Spieth says he’ll have plenty of rest and energy for the British Open. He says his performance in the Quad Cities will have no bearing on his perfor-mance next week in Scotland.
Spieth opts to stay home ahead of British Open

important. Tonight: Friends equal fun.CANCER (June 21-July 22)You might want to try a differ-ent way of handling a pressured situation. You will need to keep communication open, but you also could be becoming less willing to find a solution. Ask yourself what would work best. Be willing to walk away, if need be. Tonight: Up late.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Some of you might not be aware of how much you are suppress-ing anger. It would be best to detach for now. Communication needs to be authentic to make the difference you want. Cut through confusion with what you know is true. Tonight: Do something totally different.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Have one-and-one conversa-tions. A friend who seems to be on the warpath might surprise you by forcing you to take an-other look at your relationship. Tap into your imagination and try to see a situation differ-ently. A loved one is likely to shock you. Tonight: Among the crowds.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Defer to others in order to get a different perspective. Re-main confident, even if events prove to be full of surprises or someone does the unexpect-ed. Refuse to allow yourself to be irritated by everything that happens. Tonight: Defer, defer, defer.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Get into a project, and you might be able to avoid a prob-lem with an associate who is on the warpath. Honor a change of direction, and know what you need and want. Be more direct, and make fewer assertions about the other party. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be deciding to ven-ture out in a new direction. Oth-ers like to share their ideas with you because you take and inte-grate them well. One-on-one relating has many surprises, as you will discover. Maintain your sense of humor. Tonight: Allow your imagination to decide.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Deal with a property matter that is likely to surprise you
in some way. Others share an interest in what you are doing. Try to avoid stirring the pot. A friend might not be as support-ive as you would like him or her to be. Understand what is going on. Tonight: Head home early.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Ask rather than sit on a question too long. You might wonder what would be the best way to handle a problem that arises from out of the blue. You can discuss it forever, but you will need to take action to resolve the problem. Do not overthink. Tonight: Catch up on news.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You’ll move into a new realm of thinking. How you handle a personal matter could change as a result. You will be more willing to express what others view as being a very wild idea. Allow your imagination to flow. Avoid taking any financial risks. Tonight: Make it your treat. BORN TODAYActor Kevin Bacon (1958), sing-er/songwriter Beck (1970), chef Wolfgang Puck (1949)***
Dear Annie: My dad has been a mess for the past couple of years and he’s sink-ing into a hole. Six months ago, he was laid off and his unemployment benefits just stopped. He also hit a car and left the scene. The police caught up with him and charged him with a hit and run.
Dad is a delivery driver and I wor-ry that his driver’s license will be taken away. He is too stubborn to find any other type of work. He recently went for an in-terview and didn’t get the job. I’m guess-ing because they saw his driving record.
Dad keeps asking me for money and I always give it to him, because, well, he’s my father and I hate to see him like this. Here’s the real problem: Yesterday, I moved his laundry out of my dryer and noticed a cut piece of straw that is used for cocaine. Now I think I know where that money is going.
For the past two weeks, I’ve been do-ing everything I can for Dad, helping him get food stamps, health insurance and cash assistance. I’ve been bringing him to all the government agencies, sitting with him and waiting. Then he asks me for money and I find that straw. I’ve had my suspicions for a while and this confirms it. He also drinks like a fish. I feel as though I’m the parent and he’s the child. Should I report him for the drugs so he can get court-ordered rehab? -- Torn Son
Dear Son: Your father might get into court-ordered rehab. But he also might have to spend some time in jail for pos-session.
You sound like a caring, loving son. Please understand that you cannot get your father to stop using drugs and alco-hol. He must want to do that for himself. But you can and should stop giving him money. If you are concerned about his bills, you can pay those directly, and you can feed him and do his laundry if you choose. But it seems that handing him cash will only lead to trouble. You can look into Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) and also Adult Children of Alcoholics (adultchildren.org) for support for your-self.
Dear Annie: The letter from “Tired of the Gimme Generation” is right on. My husband and I are godparents to a love-ly girl who is now 12. We have showered her with gifts since she was born, but have never once received any birthday or holi-day cards in return.
We can’t fault the child. Where are her parents? What are they teaching her? Our gifts were always something they expected her to receive. In fact, we only heard from them when a gift-giving occa-sion was on the horizon. A few times, the mother would tell us that the child wrote a thank-you note but the parents forgot to mail it. On the rare occasion when we did receive a thank-you, it was always just pri-or to the next gifting date.
We sent our last gift on Christmas and received a thank-you note in April, just in time for her birthday. We sent a congratu-latory email. -- The Heck with You

OTTAWA - Canada’s trade deficit grew to $3.34 billion in May compared with $3.0 bil-lion in April, increasing the chances the Bank of Canada will cut its key interest rate next week, economists said Tues-day.
BMO senior econo-mist Benjamin Reitzes said Canada’s trade bal-ance is on pace for a record deficit in the second quarter.
“This report caps a run of soft data over re-cent months and sug-gests that trade will not be nearly as positive as anticipated at the start of the year,” Reitzes said.
“Unless we get an-other massively posi-tive jobs report on Fri-day, there’s a good chance Governor (Ste-phen) Poloz will cut rates at next week’s pol-icy meeting.”
Statistics Canada said earlier Tuesday that exports declined 0.6 per cent in May to $42 billion, while im-ports edged up 0.2 per cent to $45.3 billion.
Economists had ex-pected a deficit of $2.5 billion, according to
Thomson Reuters.Statistics Canada
said export volumes de-creased 2.5 per cent while prices increased 1.9 per cent. Mean-while, import volumes were up 0.3 per cent and prices edged down 0.1 per cent.
“All told, the weak-ness in volumes on the export front will have markets worried about May GDP, although we still expect better news from other categories like retailing,” CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld said.
“That’s one more chip on the side of our forecast for a rate cut by the Bank of Canada next week, with Friday’s employment data still one more hurdle to cross.”
The Bank of Canada is set to make its next rate announcement and release its mone-tary policy report on July 15. The central bank is widely expected to cut its economic out-look, but what happens with its key interest rate is less certain.
A key economic data point will be the Statis-tics Canada labour force survey for June on

BRUSSELS - Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras strode into a summit of eu-rozone leaders with a beam-ing smile Tuesday, but was met with anger when it be-came clear he had no writ-ten proposal on how to save his country from financial ruin.
With Greece’s banks just days away from a potential collapse that could drag the country out of the euro, Tsipras had been expected to offer up economic re-forms in exchange for loans. Instead, his government said it would only present a plan on Wednesday.
“You know, there was a promise for today. Then, they’re promising for tomor-row,” said Lithuanian Presi-dent Dalia Grybauskaite. “For the Greek government it’s every time ‘manana.”’
Tsipras came buoyed by a triumph in Sunday’s refer-endum, where an over-whelming majority of Greeks backed his call to re-ject the reforms that credi-tors had last proposed.
But that domestic victory did not appear to give him
much leverage in talks with foreign creditors, who know Tsipras needs a deal soon to keep his country afloat. Banks have been shut for seven working days and will not reopen before Thursday, cash withdrawals have been limited for just as long, and daily business throughout the country has come to a near standstill.
So it was with some sur-prise that European leaders learned Tsipras did not yet have a written proposal for new rescue aid.
“I’m extremely sombre about this summit. I’m also sombre about the question of whether Greece really wants to come up with pro-posals, with a solution,” Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said.
Greece’s 18 eurozone partners have steadfastly said they want to help Greece stay in the currency club but have just as often complained about Greece dragging its feet during months of negotiations.
Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Tsip-ras he was dancing close to the financial abyss.
“We are no longer talking about weeks but very few
days,” she said.An official from a euro-
zone nation said that Greece’s failure to bring clear proposals to an earlier meeting of finance ministers caused widespread frustra-tion. Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos instead made a presentation and discussed key issues.
“Everybody was angry,” said the official, who asked not to be identified because he was commenting on a closed meeting.
The eurozone’s top offi-cial, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, said he hoped the Greek government would make a written request as soon as Tuesday night or Wednes-day morning to tap Europe’s bailout fund. Once that is in, the eurozone finance minis-ters would hold a teleconfer-ence to discuss the propos-als and decide whether they can give Greece more loans.
One big sticking point in the talks is Greece’s demand that the terms of its bailout loans be made easier.
European officials are split on the issue, with lead eurozone lender Germany still reluctant. The Interna-tional Monetary Fund last week called for European
states to accept longer re-payment rates and lower in-terest rates on their loans to Greece. Many economists say that Greece’s debt bur-den, at almost 180 per cent of annual GDP, is unsustain-able for a country its size.
Getting a new rescue deal for Greece is urgent and be-coming more so by the day. Greek banks are running out of cash even after the gov-ernment shut them last week and placed limits on
how much depositors can withdraw or transfer.
Normal commerce is now impossible in Greece. Small businesses, lacking use of credit cards or money from bank accounts, were left to rely on cash coming from diminishing purchases from customers. But Greeks are holding on tight to what they have. And suppliers are demanding that businesses pay cash up front.
Giorgos Kafkaris, a
77-year-old pensioner, was among Greeks standing in line to withdraw cash at an Athens ATM on Tuesday.
“I came to get the 120 euros, I can’t take more. The good thing is we had sorted things out earlier and we had 200-300 euros set aside,” he said. “I’m waiting for something better for all of us. I believe something bet-ter will happen.”

KABUL - Afghan officials are holding talks with Taliban representatives in the Pakistani capital in their first official face-to-face discussions, which the Afghan president said Tuesday were aimed at start-ing full-fledged negotiations.
The talks in an unannounced location in Islam-abad come after repeated informal meetings be-tween Taliban and government representatives, most recently hosted by Qatar and Norway. But the new talks were the first formally acknowledged by the Afghan government - that and the semi-public nature of the talks suggested possible progress after years of frustration in trying to bring the two sides together.
Pakistan’s prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, called the holding of the talks “a major breakthrough” in comments recorded for Pakistani TV from the Nor-wegian capital Oslo, where he is on a three-day visit.
He said the overtness of the meeting was a posi-tive development. “I hope there will be a positive outcome which will certainly be very helpful for peace and stability in Afghanistan,” he said.
Since taking office in September, Afghan Presi-dent Ashraf Ghani has made it a priority to find a peace settlement, even as fighting has continued in the war against the insurgency waged by the Tali-ban since their ouster in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion. Afghan forces are now bearing the brunt of the in-surgency after the U.S. and NATO ended their com-bat role in the country at the start of the year, with Washington cutting its troop presence.
Previous efforts to start a dialogue stalled, how-ever, largely due the lack of trust and confidence between the two sides.

Canada’s exports to the United States in May fell 0.3 per cent to $32.0 billion, while im-ports from Canada’s largest trading partner increased 0.5 per cent to $30.0 billion.
Exports to countries other than the United States fell 1.6 per cent to $10.0 billion in May as shipments to the United Kingdom dropped $345 million and exports to China decreased by $307 mil-lion. Imports from countries other than the United States were down 0.2 per cent to
$15.5 billion.The drop in exports
came as shipments of in metal and non-me-tallic mineral products as well as metal ores and non-metallic min-erals were largely offset by gains in aircraft and other transportation equipment and parts as well as motor vehicles and parts.
Exports of metal and non-metallic mineral products were down 5.8 per cent to $4.6 bil-lion, while metal ores and non-metallic min-erals fell 9.2 per cent to $1.4 billion.
Exports of aircraft and other transporta-tion equipment and
parts rose 10.3 per cent to $2.1 billion, while motor vehicles and parts gained 2.7 per cent to $6.9 billion.
On the other side of the equation, imports of consumer goods were up 2.3 per cent to $9.7 billion, while metal and non-metallic min-eral products rose 5.0 per cent to $3.8 billion.
The energy sector saw exports increase 1.3 per cent to $7.7 bil-lion in May as prices rose 8.4 per cent and volumes dropped 6.5 per cent. Imports of en-ergy products were up 2.9 per cent to $3.0 bil-lion, on higher prices.
Facebook corralling more computing capacity with Texas data centre
assoCiated PressFORT WORTH, Texas - Facebook is
building a massive data centre in Texas to provide more computing ca-pacity for the online social network’s 1.4 billion users to share tidbits of their lives with friends and family.
The building in Fort Worth, Texas will span about 500,000 square feet. It will be located on a 111-acre site that will allow for further expansion.
Facebook Inc. initially expects to
employ 40 people at the data centre, which will rely solely on wind power to keep its computer servers running.
It will be Facebook’s fourth data centre in the U.S., joining others in Oregon, Iowa and North Carolina. The Menlo Park, California, compa-ny’s only overseas data centre is in Sweden.
Rival Google Inc. recently picked Alabama to be the home of its 14th data centre.
