DON’T PUT US IN THE MIDDLE: Students at Parkland Middle School walked out of class Wednesday, June 4, to protest the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. government and the B.C. Teachers Federation.
Students point out their own position Parkland Middle School students protested continuing unrest in B.C. schools as teachers and government deal with rotating strikes and a partial lockout
SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Students at Parkland Middle School in Cranbrook joined their peers across B.C. on Wednesday in a school walkout
protesting the impacts of the continued dispute between teachers and the province. The province-wide walkout, hastily organized via social media
this week, saw students leave class at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning to show their frustration with limited access to teachers and loss of class time during the
rotating one-day strikes and partial lockout that began last week. School students say they feel caught in the middle in the battle over a new contract cur-
rently being negotiated by the B.C. Teachers Federation and the B.C. government over wage increases, class sizes and class composition. In Cranbrook, be-
PACs, trustees speak up on teacher/gov’t fight SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Two groups caught in the middle of the battle between the B.C. government and teachers are speaking out and asking for a negotiated
Cod & Chips
settlement soon. The B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC) released a statement on Monday, June 2 calling for an immediate end to the rotating strike and
lockout action because of its impact on students. According to the BCCPAC, the feud is having a detrimental effect on the most vulnerable students by denying them
the help they need from teachers at this critical time of year, said president Terry Berting. It’s also causing financial hardship for struggling families. “Successful out-
comes for all students – not just those graduating from Grade 12 – are being affected by this labour dispute,” he said. “This has got to stop.”
See PACS, Page 5
tween 40 and 50 students at Parkland Middle School took part in the walkout Wednesday, carrying signs that read, “Don’t put us in the middle”, “We care about our education – give us our civil rights”, and, “Our education is at risk! Kids matter! Put an end to this!” Principal Scott Holt said he spoke to many students before the walkout to urge them to take more appropriate measures to get their point across. “I’ve had a lot of conversations. We were telling kids: I get where you are coming from; there are other ways that you could protest
and have your voices heard without putting yourself and your school at risk. Write a letter to the MLA or the premier; protest at lunch when it’s not school time; maybe you could join the teachers, depending on where you sit on the issue. There are lots of other options,” he said. Parents spoke up to support the students’ decision to walkout. Karen Johnston’s son Reyce, a Grade 8 student at Parkland, approached his parents the night before the walkout to ask permission.

got started. We are now 21 strong.” The BNI organization works by creating a group of people from various industries and encouraging regular passing of referrals. Redecopp said that the members’ grouped familiarity of the community, its residents and each other’s business needs means that members can help match up businesses with clients and clients with businesses. “New members are welcome and the ideal member would be businesses that are looking to grow, primarily via referrals and word-ofmouth,” Redecopp said. BNI’s philosophy is “Givers Gain” – members are expected to focus on giving referrals to other members to build relationships and receive referrals in return. And chapters have specific rules regarding required attendance in order to cultivate the relationships needed to create a comfort level in referring business.

The world’s largest business networking organization has a new chapter. The Cranbrook chapter of Business Networking International (BNI) was launched last week at a lunchtime event at the Heritage Inn. BNI is considered the world’s largest referral organization, with over 150,000 members in more than 6,000 chapters worldwide. It was founded in 1985 by Dr. Ivan Misner “for the primary purpose of building powerful referral networks.” BNI’s latest chapter — BNI Rockies, which was inducted May 27 — was the brainchild of its president, Shelagh Redecopp of Sun Life Financial. “BNI is a huge, worldwide franchise for business networking, but for some reason it has never appeared here in the Kootenays before,” Redecopp said. “So I got a few people together last fall and we
“It’s a very strict setup, meaning people need to meet once a week, or if they can’t be present they have to have a substitute,” Redecopp said. “The idea being that if you’re present with your peers every week, and we talk about our businesses every week, we get to know and trust who you are as a person and business person. We can then move to the next level, which is to give referrals confidently to each other. “Referrals are obligatory,” Redecopp added. And each chapter allows only one person per occupational classification — “this is crucial,” Redecopp said. “That means you have to pick your members very carefully, because they’re going to represent that industry, and that’s it.” Prospective members must be approved via an application process. Redecopp said while many industries are represented already in the local chapter, BNI Rockies is still looking for representation from many more, including legal firms, massage therapists, chiropractors, spa owners — “it’s a huge list.” The board of BNI Rockies is comprised of Shelagh Redecopp (Sun Life – recruiting) as President; Vanessa Dickson (Sun Life – Insurance) as Vice-President, and Brandon Wright (BMO) as Secretary-Treasurer. More than 120 people came out to BNI Rockies’ induction meeting (which was held as an information session as well). Redecopp says the chapter now begins normal operations, including the weekly meetings.

Hillbilly Hotrods brings back that classic shine
Don Carter and his friends have been building and restoring classic cars in his garage for decades A r n e Pe tryshen Townsman Staff
The sign in the garage says “Hillbilly Hotrods,” and to give credence to the name, a yellow hot rod sits in the main garage bay. They may be socalled backyard mechanics, but Don Carter and his friends take the term a few steps further, working on each other’s project cars, usually classics, and restoring them to their former glory. “It’s very satisfying, when you build something and get it running,” Don said. “A lot of people that are working all the time and have money will buy a car done. Myself, I like to build it from scratch.” The hotrod that sits in the garage is painted yellow with red flames. The engine compartment is uncovered and the twin exhaust pipes come straight off the engine block, down the sides and to the rear of the vehicle. With a turn of the key and few pumps of gas to prime the engine, the V8 grumbles to life. Don said it’s the third engine he’s dropped into the vehicle and the smoothest running. The vehicle even has a square door on the passenger side that opens and back in the day was used to
carry golf clubs out to the course. He’s been working on the project for three years. While Don has always been interested in cars, it was in the past few decades he started to build hotrods in his garage just north of Cranbrook on Highway 95A. Don is also a resident of Joseph Creek Village. “I started building hot rods in the ‘90s,” he said. “I have a disability, so instead of just sitting around and not doing anything, I started working on cars. It’s a good hobby. You get to meet lots of people. There’s nothing bad about working on cars.” Indeed, Don has nothing but good things to say about the various classic vehicle chassis that dot the yard, recounting stories and histories of the cars. They are from various decades, and in various states — ranging from completed builds down to rusted out hulls used only for parts. Don used to have three or four cars at a time, but now is down to two. He reminisced over one of those former cars — a 1938 Graham. “It was pretty well done when I bought it,” he said. “It just needed some tender, loving care. I fixed it all up and
Don Carter beside his hot rod in his garage just outside of Cranbrook. it ran good. It had a supercharger, overdrive, square headlights — all factory stock. It was a very futuristic car.” Another Graham sits outside, though it’s one year newer but still has a good amount of work needed to be done to it. There is also a 1950 Ford in the second bay of the garage, disabled for priming and painting. When the Cranbrook arch was dedicated a few years ago, it was Don’s 1934 Hudson convertible that was used in the presenta-
tion. He also regularly attends car shows all over the Kootenays, and used to frequent ones down in the States as well. He’s looking forward to this year’s upcoming shows. “I’ve done lots of car shows,” he said. “Car shows all summer long.” He said he has won a few in his day, and you start to get better at presenting your car the more you go. “If you go to enough car shows, you win,” he said.
Students walk out in protest Continued from page 1 “Reyce was very clear that he wanted a voice in this whole situation,” said Johnston, who is publisher of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman. “He basically said, he has a policy that he’s not allowed to harass or bully anybody in the schoolyard, and he is perceiving the teachers and government as bullying each other, and it’s trickling down into the school level. He feels he has a right to stand up for that.”
Johnston told her son that he has the support of his family in protesting the dispute. “If my 13-year-old comes to me and tells me that, I’m pretty impressed. Whether I agree or disagree with the entire movement doesn’t matter. My son asked for a voice; he’s been put in the middle of this situation.” Meanwhile, students in Kimberley also took part in the walkout. About a dozen students at McKim Middle
School congregated outside school grounds, chanting, “Our voices count.” About 25 students from Selkirk Secondary also walked out, marching on the Platzl to show their frustration at not being able to get extra help at exam time, extra-curricular sports being cut and more. The students said they supported their teachers and thought they were doing the best they could. Most school districts across the province in-
formed parents that if their children did walk out they would be considered to be skipping school and marked as absent as schools could not be responsible for the safety of students who left the premises without permission. With files from Carolyn Grant, Kimberley Daily Bulletin

Family rallies to bring injured son home from Honduras Kimberley’s Richard Bay faces an expensive medical flight home after a motorcycle accident in Central America
C AROLYN GR ANT Kimberley Bulletin
The family of Richard Bay is raising funds to get him back to Canada after a motorcycle accident has left him hospitalized in Honduras, and facing a long recovery. Sister Lisa Bay says
equipped to handle his surgeries. “To date, Richard has had four surgeries. He shattered his right leg, tibia, fibula, and femur. He broke his hand and injured his shoulder. He also lost a chunk of his calf and has had skin grafts.”
Richard was hit by a bus while riding a motorbike in Honduras. “The bus driver fled the scene, but thankfully Richard has made some wonderful friends who are looking out for him,” Lisa said. “He was taken by a private air ambulance to a hospital

Richard Bay still manages to smile while in hospital in Honduras. Lisa said family members, including Richard’s dad, flew down to Honduras last Friday to deal with immediate medical bills and assess what has to be done. “It has been determined that Richard will have a one to two year recovery, and that we need to get him back to Canada,” Lisa said. However, getting back to Canada is not going to be as simple as
hopping on an airplane. “Richard will have to travel back with specialized medical transport, and we believe the cost to be upwards of $20,000,” Lisa said. Richard did have travel insurance but it ran out before his accident, so the family has to find another way to raise the required funds to get him home. “Once we get him to Canada, we feel like
things will become much more manageable,” said Lisa. In the meantime, she says her brother’s spirits are good as always. “Those of you who know Richard will be happy to know he is still smiling and laughing. He is making jokes with the nurses, making friends as always.” But the whole family will feel much better once that smiling face is home.

PACs, school trustees have had enough Continued from page 1
BCCPAC wants government and the union to stop using pressure tactics that affect students and concentrate their energy on achieving a new collective agreement, it says. It is time for both sides to take risks and negotiate in the true spirit of give
and take, the group said. “We’re encouraging parents to write to Education Minister Peter Fassbender and B.C. Teachers Federation (BCTF) president Jim Iker, explaining how the rotating strikes and lockout are hurting families,” added Nicole Ma-
kohoniuk, BCCPAC president as of July 1. Meanwhile, the body representing all B.C. school trustees spoke up on Wednesday, June 4, ahead of School District 5’s second one-day strike on Thursday. The B.C. School Trustees Association (BCSTA) sent a letter to
all trustees in the province Wednesday, reaffirming the importance of stability for students in the midst of job action. BCSTA president Teresa Rezansoff pointed to the group’s Stability for Students Action Plan, which wants to see no disruption to student
programs or school and district configurations during the battle between government and teachers. “The objectives of BCSTA’s Stability for Students Action Plan remain as relevant and urgent as ever. A negotiated settlement must be reached, and soon,” said
Labour Federation holding conference in Kimberley Barry Coulter
B.C.’s organized labour movement will be front and centre in the East Kootenay this weekend, as the B.C. Federation of Labour holds its annual regional conference in Kimberley. The Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre will host the event Friday and Saturday, June 6 and 7, with a special event tonight, Thursday evening, June 5. Some 70 delegates from 15 different unions will be attending, as well as federation staff from the Lower Mainland, invited dignitaries and guest speakers. Irene Lanzinger, Secretary-Treasurer of the B.C. Federation of Labour, says that in recent years, instead of having a convention in the Lower Mainland every year, the federation now holds a convention every other year. “And in the years that we don’t have a convention we have regional conferences around the province. “This is our first one in the Kootenays, and we probably won’t be back for a number of years.” Lanzinger said the regional conference is a chance to get union members from the local area together to talk about their issues and struggles, and the challenges facing people in the union movement today. The conference begins Thursday night at 7 p.m. at the Conference Centre with a green jobs forum, to which the public is invited. “We’ll talk about how the labour movement and the environmental movement work together to provide good jobs
for people but also deal with the issue of climate change and increasing greenhouse gases,” Lanzinger said. “We’re inviting people from the community — everybody’s welcome.” Opening ceremonies are scheduled for Friday, June 6, at 9 a.m. Speakers will include Kathryn Teneese, Chair of the Ktunaxa Nation Council, the Mayor of Kimberley Ron McRae, and Jim Sinclair President of the B.C. Federation of Labour. Then the delegates will get down to the business at hand. “I think we have
some fundamental issues that stand the test of time in the union movement,” Lanzinger said. “How we fight for better wages, for better working conditions, for people who work in unions but also for everyone. “Of course we’d like to organize more people into unions, so more people enjoy the benefits of good wages, health benefits, pensions and all of those things. But we also think that’s good for community. Because when people have decent wages, their children aren’t living in poverty, they’re

spending that money in the community and they’re making the community stronger. Lanzinger said the delegates will also be discussing broader issues that people are facing today — “how our economy is changing, how we deal with environmental issues, how we fight for better minimum wage for everybody. “What are our issues as a society, and what can we as union members do to make our communities better places and look after each other, which is our fundamental principle
in the union movement.” The teachers of School District 6 will be conducting their oneday rotating strike this week on Friday. Lanzinger said the delegates will be joining the teachers on the picket line on Friday to show support.
Rezansoff. “The time for serious and concentrated bargaining is now. We call on the BCTF and the government to redouble their efforts and negotiate all summer if necessary to end the current unrest.” As well as wage increases, teachers and the government are ne-
gotiating for a contract that sets class sizes and composition. The Labour Relations Board was set to rule late Wednesday on whether the B.C. government’s partial lockout and 10 per cent wage cut are legal. See Friday’s Townsman for more on this developing story. PUBLIC NOTICE

Russia, D-Day and propaganda
T
he presence of President Vladimir Putin on the Normandy beaches on the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings was planned long before the current conflict over Ukraine, but it is a useful reminder of the fact that Russia is not some Asiatic tyranny on Europe’s eastern borders. It is a European country that has played a major role in the continent’s affairs for centuries. Not only were the Russians on the same side as the “Western” allies in the Second World War. They did most of the heavy lifting in the war against Nazi Germany, and they paid by far the highest price. While 850,000 American, British and Canadian troops were landing on the French coast in June of 1944, 6 million soldiers of the Soviet army were fighting massive battles with the German army in eastern Europe. The land war in eastern Europe was already three years old, and by June of 1944 the Russians had won: the Germans had already begun the long retreat that ended above Hitler’s bunker in Berlin 11 months later. The price the Russians paid for their victory over Nazi Germany was huge: at least 11 million military dead (compared to fewer than 1 million dead for the Western allies). No other country in history has lost so many soldiers, but in the end it was the Red Army that destroyed Hitler’s Wehrmacht: 80 per cent of Germany’s 6 million military dead were killed on the Eastern Front. The main strategic significance of the Normandy landings, therefore, was not the defeat of Germany, which was already assured. It was the fact that Moscow had to accept that Europe would be divided between the victors down the middle of Germany, rather than along some line further
west that ran down the Franco-German border, or even down the English Channel. President Putin, who began his career as a KGB agent working in Soviet-dominated East Germany, will certainly be aware of the irony that he is commemorating a military operation whose main result was to contain Soviet power. And his presence will remind all the other participants in the rituals of remembrance that the propaganda lied: the Second World War was not really fought to defend democracy from tyranny. Hitler never intended to conquer Britain, and was surprised when his armed Gwynne forces conquered France in 1940. He was certainly not Dyer out to “conquer the world”, a preposterous ambition for a country of only 80 million people. His real target was Russia: the “Jewish-Bolshevik” Soviet Union. And he couldn’t even conquer that. Unlike previous great-power wars, the two world wars had to be represented as moral crusades against evil because new wealth and technology turned them into total wars that required mass participation. If people are going to be asked to sacrifice vast numbers of their children in a war, they must be told that it has some higher purpose than the traditional one of settling disputes among the great powers. The people who lived through the First World War were fed that lie, but we no longer believe it now. To a remarkable extent, the Western countries that fought in the Second World War still believe that it was a moral crusade, because Hitler was a very evil man. So he was, but almost nobody in the countries that were fighting him knew about the death camps until the war was over. Moreover, the country that was carrying the heaviest burden in the war against Nazi Germany was a monstrous tyranny
led by Joseph Stalin, a man who certainly rivalled Hitler in terms of how many millions of people he murdered. It seems churlish to insist that the Second World War was just another great-power conflict on the day when the last survivors of the generation who fought in it are gathering to honour those who died on the beaches of Normandy, probably for the last time. But there is no other time when people will actually pause to listen to such an assertion, and it is important that they understand it. If the world wars were moral crusades against evil, then our only hope of avoiding more such tragedies in the future (probably fought with nuclear weapons) would be to extinguish evil in the world. Whereas if they were actually traditional great-power wars, lightly disguised, then we might hope that we could stop them by changing the way that the international system works. That was the real conclusion of the governments on the winning side in both world wars. It’s why they created the League of Nations after the first one, and the United Nations after the second. Both organisations were designed to break the cycle of great-power wars by criminalising those who start wars and taking the profit out of victory (because nobody will recognise your conquests even if you win). The League of Nations failed, as first attempts often do, but the United Nations did not. There has been no Third World War, and no great power has fought any other for the past 69 years. Putin’s presence in Normandy is an embarrassment precisely because he broke the UN rules by forcibly annexing Crimea, but the enterprise is still, on the whole, a success. So far, so good.

What’s Up?
Letters to the Editor Why do I picket?
I have had the pleasure of working at Pinewood Elementary School for 20 years. I have worked as a specialist teacher in the music and library department. Since I started I have seen and experienced changes that I can only attribute to the steady decline of funding from the provincial government. In 1991, Pinewood had a full time principal and a half time vice-principal. Today we have no vice-principal and a principal working just over half time with the same responsibilities. In 1991, Pinewood had a full time student services teacher. Today it is at .6 and projected for only half time next year. In 1991, students were offered the choice between band and general music. The band teacher also had time in the week to work with each section of the band separately (sectionals). Today students have no choice but to take band and I volunteer my time for sectionals. In 1991, the teacher-librarian position was half time (2.5 days a week). This year I have 1.5 hours devoted to the library weekly. Next year it is projected that I will have 45 minutes total per week to work in my role as a teacher librarian. In 1995, my
library budget was $2,748.00. Today my budget is approximately $300-$500 for books. I realize that Pinewood does not teach Grade 7 students anymore, and that we are experiencing declining enrollment, but I do not think this justifies the level of reduction of service to our students. My school administration and school board would love to provide more, but how can they when the funds are not forthcoming? When it is reported that teachers want more specialist time it sounds like time over and above what we usually get. In most cases we are just trying to inch our way back to prior levels. I believe kids are important, and even in difficult economic times our children are worth investing in. I know why I am picketing and I hope you will support teachers trying to secure a better education for your kids. Julie Ackerman Cranbrook
No respect
We cannot come to grips as to what kind of hunter would kill a sow bear with cubs and not have enough time to check

for cubs. Why destroy a bear and leave the carcass? If a mistake was made, why was this not reported to the Fish &Wildlife Branch of the Ministry of Environment? Was this just for sport? If so, shame on you. If the incident had been reported, maybe a fine would be the result, but I doubt that will ever happen, seeing the past records of this department. We also find it unbelievable that no conservation officer could be reached on the weekend. Were they all on holidays on the long weekend? Thank God that someone made the effort to rescue the cubs and bring them to safety. Obviously this pair has respect for our wildlife and surroundings. It seems to us that most people just take everything for granted in our area by abusing our wildlife and forests. Killing wildlife, destroying the environment with garbage and off-road vehicles, etc, is just a lack of respect. Do they not know what they have? I doubt very much that anything will come of this incident like so many others in the past. Rosemarie Schroecker Cranbrook
It happened this week in Cranbrook Week June 1 - 7
Dav e H u m p h r e y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1898 Railway coming … P. A. Peterson, chief engineer of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, was in town a short time yesterday. Mr. Peterson informed The Herald reporter that, barring unforeseen conditions that might appear to delay, the railroad would certainly reach here by August. Mr. Peterson also informed the reporter that as one of the very first things needed here would be a turntable, one which would be used for the roundhouse has been made in sections and loaded, on cars which will reach here with the first rails. Mr. Peterson was accompanied by Mr. Kuowlton, M. J. Haney’s assistant. Railroad News … Every man who owns a dollar’s worth of property in Southeast Kootenay will be the richer for it when the Crow’s Nest Pass railroad is completed. Col. Baker has laboured for the building of this road for ten years, and to him as much, if not more, than to any other one man the people are indebted for the benefits to be derived in this way. 1899 Disreputable Actions … Cranbrook should arrange with the government authorities to have a stone pile for the entertainment of a few devils in this town who indulge in actions that are contemptible in the extreme. Within a week past some one has thrown dirt on T. A. Creighton’s windows, and torn down lodging signs put up by Leroy Sage. About ten days study of geology on a rock pile would cool down such chaps and teach

them to be decent if they are not. Cranbrook’s First Dominion Day … Cranbrook will celebrate Dominion Day, and what is more the celebration will be a credit to the people of this town and district, The meeting called by the Board of Trade to arrange for the celebration, was the largest and most enthusiastic gathering ever held in Cranbrook. The town site office was crowded to its utmost capacity, and nearly every business house in town had one or more representatives. Success was in the air, and the interest manifested by the majority at the start, proved contagious, and before the proceedings were fairly under headway, every person present displayed an anxiety to lend a helping hand. 1900 Continued Work … Work on the buildings and other improvements on the grounds of the Cranbrook Racing and Athletic Association is progressing. George Leask has the contract for erecting the buildings at a cost of $750. Contractor Greer has the fencing and Lind & Young have the contract for erecting the posts and tail guard around the track. New Wagon … That hose wagon has arrived and will be ready for use about Saturday; consequently Jake Fink has parted with that worried, care-worn look, and insurance rates will drop (?) about 25 per cent. Baby Wagon … G. H Miner has been busily engaged for several weeks in examining the various patterns of baby perambulators. He looked wise most of the time but did not say much. P. S. — It is a boy. Corpus Christi … The Indians are flocking in from all parts of East Kootenay to celebrate Corpus Christi at the Mis-
sion. All are attired in their “Sunday-goto-meeting” clothes, and the St. Eugene on Sunday will present a bright coloured living picture. Clean up - Or Else! … There are still violations of the sanitary provisions of the land governing the disposition of garbage in the vicinity of the town, and Constable Morris and Health Inspector Bell are donning their war paint. A tip to the wise is all that is necessary. 1901 Dominion Day … The Cranbrook Football association have secured the athletic grounds for July 1, and will arrange a fine program of field sports for that day. Attractive prizes and medals will be given on that occasion, for contests of all kinds and there will be some warm football and baseball games. The people of the district may feel assured that those who celebrate Dominion Day in Cranbrook will have a good time Fine Clock … The ladies of Christ Church will present J. F. Armstrong with a beautiful clock for his services as lay reader during the time that the church was with out a rector. Report of School for May ... First Division: Number enrolled 35; Second Division: Number enrolled 49; Third Division: Number enrolled 78. John McIntyre, Principal. Sunday School Picnic ... Christ Church Sunday School will hold a picnic at the falls of Mark Creek at Marysville on Thursday of next week. Train leaves Cranbrook at 1 o’clock.

Bandits set to take on Libby for home-opener TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
SUBMITTED PHOTO
The Cranbrook Sox recently walked away with two wins in three games during a recent trip to Trail to take on the Vernon Diamondbacks.
Season underway for men’s baseball team FOR THE TOWNSMAN
The Cranbrook Sox Senior Baseball Team sponsored by Sussex Insurance took on the Vernon Diamondbacks over the weekend at Butler Park in Trail. The two teams played three games, with Cranbrook winning the opener in a come from behind exciting finish. Jaymee Kitchenham picked up the win in the opener, going the distance while striking out 12 batters along the way. Vernon took the second game after a late rally by Cranbrook fell short. The rally was sparked
by a towering three-run homer over the left field fence of Butler Park by Jordan Armstrong. The split set up a decisive rubber match. The final game was close with many exciting defensive plays by both sides including a huge assist by centre fielder Sheldon Jurisic, who gunned down the Vernon player going to third. After the hard fought tilt Cranbrook prevailed 4 - 1 to take the three game set two games to one. Josh Lowden pitched the complete game in a dominating
performance, allowing just one unearned run. The Sussex Insurance Cranbrook Sox are playing in their second season in the BC Senior Baseball League and will be representing Cranbrook in the BC Provincial tournament this year, which will be held in Trail’s Butler Park from August 1st to the 4th. The team is thankful to have the support from Sussex Insurance who are providing generous sponsorship to enable the Sox to represent Cranbrook at the provincial level.
WINinaBeautiful STAYCATION Kimberley!! 3 NIGHT STAY at
MOUNTAIN SPIRIT!
After a month of playing teams on the road in the northwestern U.S. and Alberta, the Bandits are finally getting the chance to play in front of a home crowd this weekend. After taking on the Libby Loggers in a double-header this past weekend, their American opponents will come up to the Great White North for a Saturday afternoon game at Confederation Park at 1 p.m. in Cranbrook. “Last year, the opening weekend at home was lots of fun, we had a great time,” said Tyler Thorn, a 16-year-old player with the Bandits. “It’s just nice after a bunch of weekends in a
row to stay home and sleep the night before in your own bed and be more prepared. “It’s just lots more fun when you play on your own field.”
It’s been a pair of close games between the two teams, with a 5-4 loss at a tournament in Kalispell, before winning 6-5 this past weekend in Libby. “Now that we know we can compete with them,” said Thorn, “we knew from the beginning because we lost
that game in the first tournament 5-4 in the end, so after beating them, that just gives us way more confidence coming into this weekend, knowing we can beat these guys.” Head coach Paul Mrazek is expecting a good game between his team and the Loggers on their home field, as well as with the Glacier ‘B’ team, which the Bandits will play on Sunday in Whitefish. “So hopefully, definitely looking for a split,” said Mrazek. “The we’re back down to Whitefish to play their ‘B’ team, instead of their ‘A’ team, who we beat in the Kalispell tournament, so looking for two wins out of that.”

Kings draw first blood in Stanley Cup final Neil Davidson Canadian Press
LOS ANGELES - Justin Williams scored 4:36 into overtime as the Los Angeles Kings rallied to edge the New York Rangers 3-2 in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final on Wednesday. Dan Girardi fanned on a clearing attempt and the puck went to Mike Richards, who found Williams alone in front and the forward scored high to the stick side. “I’ve said this many times, Justin is the most underrated player on our team by a mile,” said Kings star defenceman Drew Doughty. After going down 2-0 early, the Kings tied it up in the second period and came on like a freight train in the third period - outshooting New York 20-3. But the Rangers threatened late in a wild ending to regulation time. New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist and the Kings’ Jonathan Quick both lived up to their reputations on the night, with Quick busy early and Lundqvist late in an end-to-end game. The Rangers managed 25 shots in regulation time. The shots were 2-2 in OT. “We’ve got a lot to clean up but (we are) happy with the win,” said Doughty. Game 2 goes Satur-
day at the Staples Center with advantage Los Angeles. Teams winning Game 1 have gone on to claim the Cup 77 per cent of the time (57-of74 series) since the final went to a best-of-seven format in 1939. Benoit Pouliot and Carl Hagelin scored for the Rangers before a crowd of 18,399, the Kings’ 118th straight sellout. Kyle Clifford and Doughty scored for Los Angeles, which trailed 2-0 in the first period. The Kings registered 13 straight shots in the third before the Rangers finally forced Quick into action 11 minutes 58 seconds into the period. Lundqvist then had to stop Tyler Toffoli on a rush with some six minutes remaining. “In the third, they were the better team on the ice,” said Rangers coach Alain Vigneault. New York mounted a rare attack only to have Willie Mitchell stop a three-on-one with a timely check. Brian Boyle was penalized for slashing with 1:36 remaining, allowing the Kings one final push. There were chances at both ends in a frantic finale, with Quick stopping Hagelin with a lightning-fast glove and a diving Lundqvist somehow stopping a Jeff Carter wraparound.

The Rangers had been off since last Thursday when they disposed of the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference final and they looked fresh. The Kings, who edged the Blackhawks in overtime Sunday in Chicago to win the Western Conference crown, were slow out of the gate but clawed their way back as the game wore on. New York - the best road team in the East this season with 25 wins - came out with purpose, with two good scoring chances in the first three minutes. Quick had to poke-check Chris Kreider to end one threat and then stopped Hagelin from in front after a giveaway. Lundqvist did well five minutes in to corral a shot from Jake Muzzin creeping in from the point. It was an entertaining start, albeit a sloppy one. Quick was a busy man as the speedy Rangers probed for an opening. New York went ahead at 13:21 when Doughty
tried to be cute at the New York blue-line, attempting to drag the puck past an onrushing Ranger and lost possession. Things went from bad to worse when defence partner Muzzin fell down and Pouliot scored to the stick side on the ensuing breakaway. The Rangers made it 2-0 the penalty kill at 15:03 as the Roadrunner-like Hagelin outraced Slava Voynov and headed to goal. Quick made the save but the puck bounced in off Voynov’s skate for Hagelin’s seventh of the playoffs. While the bounce was cruel, it was the Rangers’ second scoring chance on the penalty kill. Hagelin, who also scored on the penalty kill against Montreal, is the sixth player in Rangers history to record more than one short-handed goal in one playoff year and the first since Mark Messier scored two in 1992. Los Angeles pulled one back at 17:33 on a
good forecheck. Derek Stepan failed to clear the puck, turning it over and the Kings crashed the net, with Clifford jamming it in top shelf to revive the Staples Center crowd. It was Clifford’s first post-season goal since April 23, 2011, snapping a 37-game playoff drought. The Kings outshot the Rangers 14-13 in a first period that belonged to the visitors. New York came out buzzing again to start the second period. Los Angeles somehow managed to kill off a Muzzin penalty despite multiple turnovers. Doughty made up for his earlier turnover with a sweet goal that featured almost the same move that tripped him up before. Taking a nifty Williams backhand pass, a trailing Doughty toedragged the puck between his legs to evade Derek Dorsett and then snapped a shot through Lundqvist’s legs for his fifth of the playoffs at 6:36.

CFL leading receiver Geroy Simon ends 15-year career Dan R alph Canadian Press
Geroy Simon is leaving the CFL a changed man. In 1999, he joined the Winnipeg Blue Bombers feeling individual success would get him back into the NFL. On Wednesday, Simon retired as the most prolific receiver in CFL history, but he says the three Grey Cup championship titles he shared with his teammates are the crowning achievements of his illustrious 15-year CFL career. “Hands down, those are the three most important times in my career and my most cherished accomplishments,” Simon said. “When I first got here, winning wasn’t that important to me, it was my individual success. “I think the maturity of being here and evolving as a person, as a player with a few great organizations switched my thinking to where it stopped being about my
individual success as opposed to winning games and winning Grey Cups.” Simon, 38, twice played for teams that won Grey Cups at home - the 2011 B.C. Lions and last year with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. “It’s an amazing feeling to win a Grey Cup at a neutral site,” Simon said. “But to win at home twice, not too many people can come close to that. “I feel very privileged to have done it.” Then again, being the most prolific receiver in CFL history isn’t shabby, either. “No, not at all,” Simon said with a chuckle. “That’s a close second.” Simon shouldn’t be out of football long. He’s talking with the Riders about a front-office job as a club ambassador. The six-foot, 198pound Simon accumulated 1,029 career catches for 16,352 yards and 103 TDs with Winnipeg (1999-2000), B.C. (‘01-
12) and Saskatchewan (2013). He was the CFL’s outstanding player in ‘06 with 105 catches for 1,856 yards and 15 TDs, capping that campaign with his first Grey Cup title. Simon, who spent part of the ‘97 season on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice roster, spent two seasons with Winnipeg before signing as a free agent with B.C. It was with the Lions that Simon - nicknamed Superman for the pose he’d strike after scoring TDs - became a CFL star. But the Lions dealt Simon to Saskatchewan on Jan. 24, 2013 for receiver Justin Harper and a 2014 third-round pick. After missing the Riders’ first three regular-season games due to injury, Simon finished with 40 catches for 565 yards and three TDs and surpassed Ben Cahoon (1,017) as the CFL’s all-time receptions leader. Simon ended the season - and ultimately his career - scoring two
TDs in Saskatchewan’s 45-23 Grey Cup win over Hamilton at Mosaic Stadium. However, that Grey Cup win was much different than Simon’s first two. With B.C., he was a focal point of the offence whereas with Saskatchewan he was a mentor for the youthful Riders. “I still believe I made a huge contribution (with Riders) but it wasn’t stats,” Simon said. “It was more in the background, in the locker-room helping mentor guys, helping them get to the right
spots and get better. “You can’t measure those by stats. But to have the opportunity to catch two touchdown passes and win the game in that manner, it was really special to me.” Simon was prepared to return for a 16th season before noticing some subtle hints it was time to retire. “Even though I wanted to play, my preparation was quite different than any other year because I was busy doing many other things,” Simon said. “I’d miss a workout here and there
and there’d be times where instead of going my normal two hours in the gym I’d go for an hour. It was just different. “Now, I would’ve been able to get to training camp and play at a high level, but I think karma has a way of working its way out. Things happen for a reason and I think I was just prepared physically and mentally to move on.” Simon finalized the decision to retire about two weeks ago while visiting Rome with his wife.
Attorney: Sterling agrees to sell Clippers Tami Abdoll ah Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling agreed Wednesday to sign off on selling the team to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for what would be a record $2 billion, according to his attorney. Sterling “has made an agreement with the NBA to resolve all their differences” and as co-owner has given his consent to a deal
that was negotiated by his wife, Shelly Sterling, to sell the team, said attorney Maxwell Blecher. Representatives for Shelly Sterling declined to comment. The NBA declined to comment on Wednesday afternoon. Donald Sterling filed a $1 billion suit against the NBA in federal court last week alleging the league violated his constitutional rights by relying on information from an “illegal” recording

“We talked and I said, ‘Maybe it’s just time to move on,”’ he said. “She was more concerned than I was. “I didn’t want to get to a certain point where I tarnished my legacy on the field with mediocre play or frustration at the end of my career because that would leave a sour taste in my mouth. I left a place that was so good to me for a number of years and went somewhere that was a heated rival. To win a Grey Cup in that place, I felt vindicated, like my career had come full circle and it was time.”

that publicized racist remarks he made to a girlfriend. It also says the league committed a breach of contract by fining Sterling $2.5 million and that it violated antitrust laws by trying to force a sale. Blecher said the suit will be dismissed. If the NBA owners approve the sale, it will be a record-high sum for a team that cost Donald Sterling about $12 million in 1981.

From May 22 – 24, 1st Vice-President Dave Struthers, Manager Karin Penner and I were honoured to represent Cranbrook’s business community at the Annual General Meeting of the BC Chamber of Commerce. In her report in last week’s Townsman, Karin did a great job of describing what was discussed at the AGM and how the policy sessions worked. Policy development might sound dry and boring but it was far from that. In fact, it’s a fascinating way to learn about the concerns of business across BC. We talked about issues ranging from local government

Dave Butler efficiencies and the tax environment for credit unions, to legalizing marijuana, police funding and a proposed National Park in the South Okanagan. Policy proposals that are supported by at least 2/3 of the participants in these sessions then become official policy of the BC Chamber. The professionals at the BC Chamber then use these policies to advocate to provincial and federal governments. It’s a great example of democracy in action. The BC Chamber AGM was also an inspiring opportunity to spend time with other Chamber Directors and managers from around the
province, sharing ideas and best practices for Chamber operations. In particular, we spent considerable time with colleagues and friends in other Kootenay Chambers, talking with them about how we can work together in two priority areas for the Cranbrook Chamber: growing and engaging our members, and growing our local economy.
developing new opportunities for our members to network with each other; for those who attended the launch of the Sam Steele Days beer at the Heid-Out two weeks ago, you will have been part of one of those networking events. And we have significant plans for lots of learning and networking during small business month in October.
Our 2nd VP, Avana Gjendem, has been working with Chamber staff to ensure we really understand what our members need from us and to find new and innovative ways to meet those needs. Avana, Karin and our team are
On the economic development front, we continue to encourage the City to work with the business community and others to build a clear and compelling community economic development strategy. That’s different than a strategy created only by the City of Cranbrook. It’s our sense that we need a strategy that truly takes advantage of the unique aspects of our community and does not have us chasing the same business sectors that every other community in western Canada is also chasing. I bet that if we took 100 random Cranbrook res-
idents, put them in a room together and asked them to give us ideas about what business sectors we should look to attract here, we would get at least 100 different ideas. But imagine a community economic development strategy built through the community coming together to make decisions about what we want, and why. Imagine a community economic development strategy that residents and businesses understand and support, and for which we are all active ambassadors. Imagine a community economic development strategy for which we have clear and transparent measures of success. We don’t believe we are – as a community - there yet, but we need to get there very soon if we want to grow our local economy. What are your thoughts on that? Within that, 1st VP Dave Struthers is leading our Chamber initiative to strengthen our retail sector by finding new ways to address is-
sues that challenge and impact all of us, such as cross-border shopping, lower taxes in adjacent jurisdictions and the dropping Canadian dollar. If you’re in retail, watch for opportunities to get involved. And along with a community strategy for economic development, we’re continuing to work with the Mayor, City Council and senior City staff to ensure that people who want to start businesses, or people who want to expand existing businesses, are welcomed with open arms. We believe that the City has begun to make changes that will make this a reality, and I encourage you to tell us about your experiences as these changes roll out. I want to note that a critical and recent part of our Chamber’s economic development work has been to work with the medical community (through the East Kootenay Division of Family Practice Society) and others to build a recruitment
strategy for physicians. We’re very concerned that more than 3000 people in our area won’t have access to a family doctor by the end of this summer. At the Chamber, we’re committed to being a part of the solution to that critical challenge.
Finally, I want to take this opportunity - on behalf of the Board and staff of the Cranbrook Chamber - to sincerely thank all of the volunteers in the Sam Steele Society. These volunteers are spending hundreds of hours building another great Sam Steele Days festival (taking place from June 19 – 22nd) that’s designed to bring our community together. It’s something about which we should all be proud. This is the 50th time our community has hosted this festival and I hope all of you will take in as many events as you can. Feel free to bring friends and family! What a great way to show off Cranbrook’s amazing spirit and hospitality. Enjoy!

Nepal: trekking the Annapurna Circuit
A
Maritime Travel’s Carla Nelson takes us on a Himalayan expedition in the second of a two-part travel series on Nepal ny long distance journey in Nepal is likely to be an adventure. However, the dramatic scenery goes a long way in compensating for any discomfort. I say that to preface the journey I found myself on in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal, because there was a fair bit of discomfort! First of all, the road network in Nepal is one of the least developed in the world. And mountain roads are tortuous. Our group travelled by jeep, local bus and on foot. The local buses were by far the scariest, with a high centre of gravity due to the number of passengers, goats, suitcases and sofas perched on the roof. We had private local transport. Even so, the number of people that just hopped on the roof along the way was only detected by the number of feet dangling in our windows. You’ve just got to trust in a little karma and relax! I was much more com-
fortable travelling on foot, which we did for 156km and 14 days. We began walking from Jagat, elevation 1300m. Our ‘test trek’ was 19km that day, climbing to 1900m. Over the next few days, we passed through numerous Tibetan Buddhist villages, steadily climbing through Bagurchlap, Chame, Pisang and Manang. Temperatures began to drop from highs of 20C to lows of 3C. Snow began to fall each evening. By the time we reached Manang, we were at 3540m and had walked 60km. We were now able to view several mountain peaks, including Pisang Mountain, Annapurna II and III, Gangapurna, and Manaslu, all between 6000 and 8000m. There were spectacular sunrises and allday views in the bright sunshine. From Manang, our acclimatizing began in earnest, as we trekked higher and higher, then coming down a bit to sleep at night. The vegeta-
tion turned to shrub and brush, and eventually, we were above the tree line. On our eighth day of trekking, we ascended Thorongla Pass, elevation 5416m, in the deep snow. We began at 4 a.m. with headlamps at -7C and reached the summit five hours later, still in deep snow but with burning sunshine. I had the worst sunburned lips and nose, even with sunscreen. But I made it to the top! We placed our Buddhist prayer flags with the others and celebrated our achievement. Getting down off that mountain pass was no easy feat either, as we descended through slush and mud over 1600m and 11km. From there, our treks each day were almost tropical, as we kept descending into the high jungle. Rhododendron trees, bamboo and agricultural terraces appeared. We passed through Kalopani, Tatopani, Ghorepani and the beautiful lakeside city of Pokhara on our return

Improvements underway in Dental assistant program sees milestone Cranbrook Community Forest For the Townsman
Submit ted
Another beautiful season is here with lots of opportunities to get outdoors for some fresh air and exercise, just minutes from your door, in the Community Forest. The Cranbrook Community Forest is designated and managed as a semi-wilderness area available for a wide range of non-motorized recreational activities and forest/grassland education encompassing over 2,000 hectares. This year we have improved trail signage and new kiosks to help people feel more comfortable trying out new trails and new maps to help the explorers among you. Some remedial work has already begun on heavily used trails to improve the surface and prevent erosion. If you see a “crew” of people working on “Bonehead” or “Windy Bluff” trails, please be assured that they have had training and are under the direction of the CCFS Board. The Kettle Lake Interpretive Loop Trail signs will be replaced this summer with new placards that are bright and easy to read. It’s worth a walk around the lake!
The North Gate (above the Fire Centre) will be open on June 1. This road provides motor vehicle access into the forest and is the only designated road for vehicles. Because the grasslands throughout the forest are very vulnerable to ecological damage, we ask that people refrain from crossing them except on designated trails, and definitely do not drive on them! (Please note the South Gate remains locked year round.) There are many more people out in the forest than in previous years, especially dog walkers and bicyclists. If your pet is vulnerable or aggressive in any way, please use a leash or other means to keep them in your control and to ensure your and your dog’s safety and the safety of other forest users. Please also make use of our Pet Waste Station’s bags and convenient garbage cans to dispose of dog waste and trash. Thanks to the many individuals who on their own are picking up garbage they find and disposing it in a responsible way. Your help in taking pride in and keeping our forest clean is much appreciated.
College of the Rockies’ Certified Dental Assistant program is marking a new milestone as students graduate from the program for the 30th year in a row. The Certified Dental Assistant program, first offered in 1983, has evolved over the past 30 years to match innovations in dental practice. The program provides access to a modern clinic with a digital radiography computer, a panoramic x-ray machine, a sterilization area and more, all which help prepare students for a real-life work environment. The spring dental clinic, which sees 400 patients from the community, ensures students receive an abundance of practical experience – more than they could hope to receive at a larger institution. Many of the patients seen in the spring clinic are long-term repeat customers who have ac-

The philanthropy of the program does not end there. Program coordinator Deni Marsh donates her time to the Salvation Army dental clinic and hopes to have students do the same in the future.
“We are so proud to be graduating our 30th class from the dental assistant program,” says Marsh. “Seeing our students succeed in their studies and in their careers is a thrill for all of us.” Graduates of the college’s dental assistant program are in high demand. As students are placed
for practicums in locations where there is a potential for employment, the program has seen a very high employment rate for those who complete the program. Learn more about College of the Rockies’ Certified Dental Assistant program at: cotr.ca/dentalassist

FEATURES Make sure measles immunizations are up to date SUBMIT TED
Interior Health’s Medical Health Officer would like to remind the public to make sure their immunizations are up to date. The Interior Health region has recently had one confirmed measles case in a travelling Alberta resident who became ill
and was diagnosed in Penticton. Communities in the Fraser Health region and Alberta have experienced measles outbreaks this spring. “So far in Interior Health we have only had one recent measles case, but that can change at any time especially with the in-
Men’s Heath In honour of Father’s Day coming up in June I would like to offer a few tips on keeping the important men in your life healthy. One of the most common ailments affecting men today is prostate cancer so I will provide some simple ideas that can reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer and appropriate screening measures. Approximately one in every six men will develop invasive prostate cancer in their lifetime. Typically, this cancer is considered slow growing but it becomes more aggressive around 15 years into its progression and proper monitoring is crucial. Diet and lifestyle can play a major role in the development and progression of prostate cancer. Foods that can increase risk include; red meat, trans-fats, high omega-6 intake, processed meats, sugar, refined grains and soft drinks. A diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and other whole foods that contain many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants can help significantly lower the risk of developing prostate cancer. Specifically, tomatoes contain a compound known as lycopene which has been shown to have a protective effect against prostate cancer. Two key risk factors involved with cancer in general are shift work which alters the levels of melatonin in the body leading to mutations in cells that can cause cancer and smoking tobacco which contains a variety of heavy metals and other mutation causing toxins. Screening is important in order to catch the cancer early and begin treatment as soon as possible. The most common test used for screening is Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) which has become quite controversial in the last few years. The specifics of PSA are too in depth for this short article, however it is important when using this test to not only look at the level which can fluctuate throughout the day, but also to take into consideration individual changes known as velocity of change and the actual level of risk involved with each of the numbers. If PSA and other screening tests indicate the need for further assessment then biopsy is performed in order to make the diagnosis. Treatments for prostate cancer include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy as well as many Naturopathic options that are available with some of the most common being; intravenous (IV) Vitamin C, EGCG, Curcumin, Mistletoe and Omega-3. Cancer can be a frightening and life altering diagnosis, but there are alternatives to help improve quality of life and support patients through the side effects involved with conventional treatment as well as directly influencing the progression of the cancer through natural treatments.

crease in measles activity that we have seen in other parts of B.C. and Canada,” said Dr. Parker, Medical Health Officer. “Measles is a potentially severe illness caused by a virus and it is very contagious. The best way to prevent a measles outbreak here is by making sure our immunization rates are high.” Those born before 1970 are considered immune, as measles exposure in childhood was quite common in the decades prior to routine immunization. But for those born after 1970, the only pro-
tection against measles is immunization. It takes two doses of a measles vaccine to protect against measles. In B.C., children routinely receive two doses of the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (MMR) at 12 months of age and upon starting kindergarten. Those who received only one dose are not considered to be immune. It is very important to verify that two doses of the vaccine have been received. This can be done by checking your immunization record. If you are not sure how to access your im-
munization record visit ImmunzeBC (http:// www.immunizebc.ca) or contact your local public health centre. Measles spreads easily through the air and can be passed on to others by an infectious person for one to two days before symptoms develop and up to four days after rash onset. Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, and red and inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis). These are followed by a rash, which starts first on the face and neck, spreads to the chest, arms, and legs,
and often lasts up to a week. When a measles case is identified, public health staff contact all those who may have been exposed to the virus to assess their risk and provide immunization when needed. They also advise those who may have measles to take measures to reduce the spread to others. “When someone is experiencing measles symptoms, or if they have been in contact with someone who has measles, it is very important that they stay away from others to pre-
vent spreading the disease,” added Dr. Parker. “If a person suspects they may have measles and they need to go to the hospital, emergency room or a doctor’s office, we advise them to call ahead, so healthcare staff can take measures to avoid exposing others to a potentially infectious disease.” If you have any questions about measles, please call HealthLink BC by dialling 8-1-1. If you need to make an appointment for immunization, contact your local public health centre.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Make time to reach out to someone you deal with on a regular basis. Tension might build around a money matter. Optimism seems to surround a roommate or family member. Though you enjoy this perspective, you might wish it were more realistic. Tonight: Go with a suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your imagination could go haywire, visiting nearly every topic except the one that is pertinent to the moment. Attempts to discipline your mind might fail. If you can, take a personal day, or take off half the day. You will feel refreshed soon enough. Tonight: Let the fun begin. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pressure builds on the homefront. A partner, family member or roommate could become demanding, or a problem involving your home might become more obvious. Don’t expect to accomplish a lot with this issue looming over you. Tonight: Paint the town
red. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to news more openly. Your perspective could change, and you also might have a more active interaction as a result. The experience might make you feel more sure of yourself as well. A discussion in private will give you more information. Tonight: Hang out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Sometimes you underestimate the effect you have on others. Therefore, you’ll make a point of being very dramatic. Trust that you don’t need to present an exaggerated form of yourself. Refuse to become critical of someone. Tonight: Live it up, as only you can. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might wonder what is needed to follow through on a longterm commitment. You could be even more detail-oriented than usual, but in this case, you’ll be helping others involved see the big picture. Confusion seems to surround a partner. Tonight: Keep your own counsel. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

(Get your money’s worth - with coverage both in newspaper AND online!)
How you deal with a loved one could change radically because of the confusion that surrounds this person. You might want to be very clear in your communication, as he or she will be difficult to get through to. Tonight: Meet friends for a fun happening. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) A boss or higher-up could be cheering you on, despite what you might think. Give up a newfound level of fussiness, and open up to a loved one. Consider the possibility of a long-term trip with a fun orientation. Tonight: Think about your weekend plans. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might find that taking the lead could entail far more responsibility than you had originally thought. Loosen up, and stay on top of a project. Others might be withholding what they know. Make it a point to open up when others reveal some information. Tonight: Till the wee hours. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could have difficulty letting go of a problem. You might feel as if you have to shake a friend or
loved one just to get him or her to listen to you. It is possible that this person is not as relaxed as you originally believed. Remain sensitive. Tonight: A must appearance. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to move forward. Get someone’s support by sharing your thoughts and by incorporating some of his or her feedback. Optimism seems to surround a personal issue. As a result, you will be able to infuse those around you with energy and conviction. Tonight: Be a duo. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to open up a discussion about a key decision. The more feedback you get, the stronger you will become. You also will make a better decision. Someone you keep reaching out to seems to be unavailable. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s wishes. BORN TODAY Musician Kenny G (1956), actor Mark Wahlberg (1971), journalist Bill Moyers (1934)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve always known that my niece, “Norma,” takes advantage of people, but now I think she’s gone too far. Norma is a single mom who lives in my mother’s rental. I recently discovered that she has not paid rent for nearly a year. Norma also convinced my mother to shell out $8,000 to have the yard professionally landscaped. My mother is 82 and doesn’t have this kind of money. But Norma has Mom wrapped around her little finger. This has made me so angry. I work full time from home. I pick up Norma’s daughter from day care and watch her for two hours. I do this for free. If I refuse to continue, I assume she will have to pay someone to do it. I’m thinking of telling her “no more,” but I worry that she’ll get my mother to do it, and Mom can’t handle a toddler. Should I try to force Norma to find an alternative? -- Unwilling Aunt Dear Aunt: You are under no obligation to continue babysitting for Norma, but it’s likely that she will get your mother to take over. Can anyone convince Norma to stop taking advantage of Mom? Is your mother capable of making these financial decisions on her own? You might discuss with Mom the possibility of moving control of her bank accounts to an unbiased third party, perhaps her attorney or financial adviser. Mom might actually appreciate having this taken out of her hands so she cannot be manipulated by Norma or anyone else. Dear Annie: An old friend of more than 50 years recently died. Despite his bipolar mood swings, I was a good friend to him. But I hadn’t seen or heard from him in months and didn’t attend his funeral. I have since received calls from a few of the mourners, some critical about my absence and others curious as to why I wasn’t present. I did a great deal for this friend while he was alive, and I feel this compensates for my skipping the funeral. Also, I was present at his mother’s funeral nearly 15 years ago in order to be supportive. Should I feel guilty? -- Old Friend Dear Friend: The point of attending a funeral is to show your respect for the deceased and offer support to family and friends. You chose to visit and support your friend while he was alive, which is a perfectly valid decision, although it does seem as though you were a bit upset with him in recent years. We hope you’ve managed to forgive him for whatever wrong may have occurred, and that you can forgive yourself for not attending his funeral. In any event, you do not owe others an explanation. Dear Annie: Like “Adopted,” I, too, wanted to learn about my birth mother. I was in my early 50s when I located her through a popular ancestry site. My mother encouraged me to write, and preparing myself for the worst-case scenario, I sent a letter, which went to my birth mother’s daughter. Her mother was very upset that she had been “found.” Her life had been difficult, and she carried many resentments. She eventually agreed to meet me. We talked for three hours, and she let me hug her and take a photo. There were only a few follow-up emails and one telephone call, telling me of a recurrence of cancer. My last words to her were, “I love you.” Three months later, my half-sister phoned to say her mother had passed away. My half-sisters never knew I existed, and now we stay in touch. They also graciously gave me cherished items that belonged to my birth mother. I encourage “Adopted” to keep trying to find her birth parents. I have gained so much by doing so. I’m glad I didn’t wait, because it would have been too late. -- Glad I Sent the Letter Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

INEZ WILKINSON
7 May 1921 – 28 May 2014
Our amazing and beloved mom, grandma, great grandma, sister, aunt and dear friend of many passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, 28 May at Cranbrook Hospital. At 93, Inez lived independently and was a source of strength and loved by all. She truly was the “sweetheart” of Collette Manor. Inez was the third daughter of George and Pearl Renick, growing up in Wardner, BC, where she met her husband Roy; they were married for 66 years. They resided in Galloway, Wardner and St. Mary’s Lake prior to building their home in Marysville where they lived for 60 years until moving to Kimberley in 2004. Inez loved to garden and their immaculate large property was testimony to that. She loved nature, birds and flowers and God’s creation. She was a great reader, a keen learner and continued to enjoy geography and mapping travels of friends and family. In addition to working outside the home, she volunteered endless hours for the Hospital Auxiliary and the Marysville Library and organized whist fundraisers in her home. She was truly a beautiful soul who loved family and was always there to support those in need. Inez was predeceased by her husband Roy in 2006, her parents, George and Pearl Renick, grandson Scott Wilkinson and sisters Georgie Vesper, Lauretta Mio, Marie Atwood, Evelyn Simmons and brother John Renick. She is survived by her loving children, George (Karen) Wilkinson and Arta Adams, grandchildren Tandi Wilkinson (Martin), Dean (Carla) Adams and Mark (Jackie) Adams, 11 great grandchildren, sisters Mae (Jack) Penney and Judy Renick and brother Jim (Eileen) Renick. Words are unable to express our great sadness and loss. Cremation will precede a private family graveside burial with a Celebration of Life at Collette Manor, 105 Knighton Road, Kimberley, first floor common room, Saturday, 7 June 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm for family and close friends. Those wishing may make donation in her name to the Kimberley Health Care Auxiliary Memorial Fund, Box 34, Kimberley, BC V1A 2Y5
Obituary Sylvia Emile Gallinger (nee Pattyn)
Sylvia Emile (Pattyn) Gallinger passed away peacefully at the age of 85, with her family at her side on May 29/14 after a long bout of cancer. She was born on January 1, 1929 in Shaunovan, Saskatchewan. She moved to Kimberley and worked as a nurse’s aid in the hospital. She met Lloyd Gallinger while in Kimberely and they were married on August 29, 1947 at the United Church in Cranbrook. They were married for 53 years until Lloyd passed away in 2000 at the age of 84. They had 11 children and were predeceased by their son Ronnie in 1984, stepson LaVerne, and grandson Beau Brunel in 2004. She was also predeceased by her brother Bruno Sylva or “Red” and sister Alice Marie. She is survived by: Audrey and Ed Griffioen, Gerry and Cindy Gallinger, Reg and Carol Gallinger, Shirley and Nick Kostiuk, Joanie and Murray Anderson, Eddie and Vicki Gallinger, Randy and Donna Gallinger, Sheryl Mackenzie and Daryl Staniforth, Brenda and Barry Morris, Wendy Davis and many grandchildren and great grandchildren. She owned the Bavarian Haus for eight years and loved to feed everyone. However, when she got breast cancer in 1975 her illness prevented her from continuing with the restaurant. She lived in the Valleyview complex in Marysville for 15 years, and continued to cook for many of the residents. She enjoyed their outings to the Marysville bar and was always lucky at winning food hampers, which she would ultimately just give to others. She loved to whistle and sing, and was well known for her generosity and easygoing manner. Affectionately known to many as “Gramma G” she was loved by all. She was never afraid to speak her mind and was famous for her sayings, such as: “Every pot has a lid” “Don’t miss me when I’m gone, just look into the eyes of my children and grandchildren and you’ll see me”. With respect to her last wishes, no funeral service will be held. A family get together will be held at a later date.

Cranbrook toilet Local students learn to be rebate program 50 water safe in time for summer per cent complete Submit ted
Submit ted
Zettel notes, adding, “that is significant savings for everyone.” Applications for the rebates are evaluated by staff and processed on a first come, first serve basis. Submitting an application does not guarantee a rebate, so residents are encouraged to take part as soon as possible as the remaining rebates will go quickly. Property owners replacing toilets on all residential, single and multi-family properties in Cranbrook, built prior to January 1, 2013 are eligible to participate in the program. The rebate does not apply to toilets being installed as part of additions or new construction. For more information or to get an application, visit www.cranbrook.ca or drop by City Hall.
The 2014 City of Cranbrook Toilet Rebate program has officially reached the halfway mark. To date, staff has issued 100 rebates, valued at $50 each which leaves only another 100 available for the year. “Since the toilet rebate program started four years ago, we have successfully removed 900 big water consumers offline,” says Chris Zettel, Communications Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “This translates into a significant reduction in overall water use in the City, a significant reduction in the amount of water our aging sewer pipes need to deal with and a significant reduction in the amount of wastewater than needs to be handled by our lagoons and spray irrigation facility,”
119 Grade 3 students from Kootenay Orchards Elementary, Pinewood Elementary, Gordon Terrace Elementary, Steeples Elementary and Kootenay Christian Academy have learnt how to be safe in around water this coming summer thanks to the Swim to Survive Grant through the BC & Yukon Lifesaving Society. Each of these schools received three free, one hour swim lessons at the Cranbrook Aquatic Center through the Swim to Survive Program Grant. Students learnt a variety of skills including how to rescue someone who is in distress in the water while keeping themselves safe, self-rescue from ice, how to orient yourself in the
water after an unexpected fall, and swim to the nearest point of safety, developing water safe attitudes and enabling the child to make safe choices. At this age, children can start swimming at the pool without parental supervision and most likely less supervision at waterfronts. Drowning is the third leading cause of death in Canada. The number of fatalities due to drowning has recently been rising, especially in lakes and rivers. On July 22, 2013 drowning’s in B.C. had doubled from the previous year. Having the opportunity to learn to swim is also a contributing factor in saving a life. The City of Cranbrook Aquatic Centre is taking a lead

With the support of a second Swim to Survive Grant we will be able to achieve that goal.

Whatever you choose to do, be kind and compassionate Part Two of Two Dear Capable and Curious: One of the questions you asked me in last week’s column was: am I afraid to die? I am not afraid to die and go to heaven. I am afraid to die in pain and agony before I pass over to the other side. I have had one too many lifetimes where I have died in pain, which I have remembered quite vividly. However, my nurse buddy always reminds me they have wonderful drugs to compensate for that on this plane; here’s hoping.
On a whimsical note, lows. It means I am livI wish there was such a ing and experiencing thing as eternal life on this lifetime. To live this plane.

comes. Living in honour, courage, truth and valour and believing in yourself as well as others requires a great deal of experience and courage. I believe one cannot achieve all these qualities in one lifetime. The only way they can do this is by tapping into their soul’s cell count and remembering their past lives on a constant regular basis. Which is quite impossible to do, if you have a job and have to pay your bills. It is quite frustrating at times, thinking that when I pass over I will come back down and have to learn the lessons I did not accomplish in this lifetime. On a less whimsical note, being human life can surely make one world-weary at times. This is when one needs to retreat into the self and do the pleasurable things that truly make them happy. On the topic of religion, I believe certain practices and parts of all religions are wonderful
and enlightening. This type of attitude towards all religions makes one develop into a spiritual person not a religious person and hence the result is believing in goodness and this goodness will always overcome evil. This belief in goodness or faith will also see you through some of the rough times in your life. I feel you need to explore and study and get educated on your spirituality and if you do not believe in people such as myself, well, that’s for you to discover not for me or mine to try to convince or prove to you. My job is to help those that need us on this plane in this lifetime. I am a servant to humanity, and this is what I chose to do before I came down to this plane. I will never be rich, or be a celebrity, or whatever; I will just be Wendy, a servant to help humanity to the best of my abilities. What and who do you choose to be? What-
ever you choose to become, do it with kindness and compassion for yourself and then with others. This means if you cannot show compassion or kindness for yourself then you cannot show it for others. The reason why I am saying this to you is because you are a person that lives in a great deal of fear. This fear that you hold so tightly inside comes out of your mouth with a good deal of anger, belligerence, resentment and downright rudeness at times. I understand why you wrote to us and I am fine with your questions. I understand why you asked my guides and me some of those questions. However, if you do choose to email me again, I may not be as compassionate and understanding as I am at this time. You see, there is such a thing as boundaries with those that do not treat me with some modicum of kindness. This means talk to

Edmonton trash turned into biofuel C ANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — A new plant that has opened in Edmonton will use trash diverted from the city’s landfill and convert it into biofuels and chemicals. The plant owned by Quebec company Enerkem is believed to be the world’s first fullscale waste-to-biofuels facility. Enerkem is to handle operations and the city is to supply 100,000 tonnes annually of sorted municipal waste that cannot be composted or recycled. Enerkem CEO Vincent Chornay says the process is slightly more expensive to Edmonton taxpayers than landfilling garbage, but is more sustainable. Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson says the plant should be a game-changer for dealing with household waste. He says the plant will keep almost all of Edmonton’s waste out of the landfill by 2016. Edmonton currently composts and recycles about 60 per cent of residential waste. It’s expected that, at full capacity, the Enerkem plant will produce 38 million litres of clean fuels and biochemicals annually.
