Cat kills lead to two cougars being put down

Cougar kittens followed unusual behaviour patterns in Slaterville situation, conservation officers say ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

no female around.” He said cougar kittens don’t usually leave the mother until between 16 and 18 months of age. These kittens were too young to be away from the mother. He noted that could have been the reason the cougars were taking part in such odd behaviour. “If the female is still around it’s concerning, because this is what she’d been teaching them. So maybe there’s something wrong there as well,” he said. “But we haven’t received any reports of a female or lone cougar wandering around that area.” Connatty said there’s a misconception that a cougar kills for fun. “If you have multiple animals, and a cougar is targeting one of them in a situation where those animals can’t escape, a cougar has a switch that goes off in its mind,” he said. “Once the cougar takes out the first animal, it can’t just turn that switch off, since things are still moving. It is naturally driven to stop things from moving when it is in that hunt mode.

Over the weekend, conservation officers destroyed two cougars that had been killing cats on the Slaterville side of Cranbrook. On Friday Karen King found two dead cats outside her home on Briar Avenue. She called the conservation officers (COs) who came to look at the cat carcasses. “We confirmed that, yes, cougars were involved with killing domestic cats,” said Jared Connatty, one of the COs who responded to the call. “During that investigation we found that two cougars had been hanging around for a few weeks before we were notified.” The domestic cat killings were close to town, and the COs took the situation very seriously. They deployed tracking hounds at the last known location of the cougar and the scent lead to two juvenile cougar, both around 10 months old. “No mother was present in the area — we didn’t pick up any other scent leaving that site,” Connatty said. “There’s a high likelihood there’s See COUGARS , Page A3

Young cougars put down after cat killings Continued from page A1 “I think this happened over an entire evening and they capitalized on opportuni-

Hopley appeals seven-year sentence N i co l e O b r e Fernie Free Press

The man who abducted a three-year-old boy from his Sparwood home in 2011 is appealing his seven-year prison sentence. Randall Hopley was sentenced last November for the September 2011 kidnapping of Kienan Hebert from a second floor bedroom. After a four-day RCMP search for the child, Hopley returned Kienan unharmed to the family’s home. Hopley, declared a long-term offender, has a history of sexually abusing children, but Kienan was apparently not assaulted during

his time with his abductor. Hopley’s sentence includes six years and two months for Kienan’s abduction, plus an additional year for a number of break-ins at residences across the provincial boundary in Alberta. With credit for time already served, he still faces more than four years behind bars. Hopley was also sentenced to 10 years of mandatory supervision after his release — the maximum period under the longterm offender designation. A forensic psychiatrist told a sentencing hearing that Hopley is a “high risk” to reoffend if he’s released from prison.

Cranbrook police dog attacked in Canyon incident Creston Valley Advance

Creston RCMP are reporting an altercation between dogs in Canyon, near Creston, including the Cranbrook RCMP service dog. On June 9, police were called about an armed and possibly sui-

cidal male in Canyon. The response team included the service dog and its handler from Cranbrook. Before the search could start, the police dog was attacked by two other dogs. The dogs’ owner

was unwilling or unable to call off his animals and the handler shot and killed one of the attacking dogs. The search was then carried out successfully and the male suspect was taken to hospital for observation.

WildSafeBC has new community coordinator For the Townsman

WildSafeBC has a new face in the Kimberley/Cranbrook area. Sonja Seher has joined the WildSafeBC program as the local Community Coordinator. Following a weeklong training session in Kamloops Sonja is now about to launch a season of door-to-door campaigning, school programs, public displays and generally working with the public

3rd YEAR!

to help “keep wildlife wild and our communities safe.” WildSafeBC has found that if wildlife is kept from becoming food-conditioned or habituated to the presence of humans, then they retain their natural wariness of humans and the potential for conflict can be greatly reduced. WildSafeBC provides conflict reduction advice for all types of wild-

life – everything from bears, coyotes, cougars, deer, raccoons and even rattlesnakes for those communities that have them. Sonja encourages residents to go to WildSafeBC’s interactive mapping program to see where, when and why wildlife has been seen in their neighbourhood. The website is found at www.warp.wildsafebc. com. Residents concerned

about wildlife in their community or persons wishing to book Sonja for a presentation at an event can contact Sonja by either email at cranbrook@wildsafebc.com or by calling 250-4645391. WildSafeBC acknowledges the support of Columbia Basin Trust and the Cities of Kimberley and Cranbrook. Without their support this valuable program would not exist.

dents in the area may have been aware of these cougars and either didn’t report it, or reported it to the wrong authority. The place to call to report a sighting

of cougars or other wild animals is 1-877-9527277 (RAPP). “Just because you call that number doesn’t mean we’re going to respond with

action in every incident that’s reported,” he said. “It’s good for us to have a history of those complaints; it helps us with our decision making.”

The Perfect Retirement Lifestyle Seniors want it all: a comfortable home, independence to follow their own schedule and maintain their own interests, safety and security, delicious food and the company of others. And who can blame them? Not long ago, seniors had limited housing options, and few met all of their needs. However, when Garden View Village opened its doors several years ago a new style of seniors housing opened in Kimberley, providing today’s seniors the opportunity to experience retirement living at its best. Garden View Village is a well-crafted seniors’ community boasting 48 beautiful suites ranging from studios to one and two bedroom layouts. These maintenance-free living suites incorporate supportive features to promote independence and 24-hour emergency monitoring service for added peace of mind. Kitchens include a fridge and stove and each suite is equipped with its own personal heat and air conditioning controls. Beyond the suite is access to a variety of common areas which include a games room, spa room, library, dining room, coffee room, crafts room, hair salon and lounges. All areas are easily accessible, full of interesting people, engaging activities and share a wonderful sense of community. Hospitality services at Garden View Village are included in the affordable monthly rent and in-

This has always been a labour of love for me, and I wouldn’t really have thought of doing it if I hadn’t been asked by the kind folks at Lotus Books.” Dalton also notes that storytelling has a long history locally. “I have huge respect for the oral traditions of the First Nations. They’ve passed along their history and their legends orally over thousands of years. It’s a culture that breathes and lives and dances to stories. “I have always admired and been inspired by storytellers from the Ktunaxa Nation, such as Leo Wil-

“Storytelling’s been around since people gathered around the first campfires,” explains local arts figure Gary Dalton. “The magic is in the rhythm of the poetry, and the ease in which it emphasises itself ... it’s its own background music! It fits in the mutual imagination of the presenter and the audience, and the community it creates is what makes it work, then and now.” Dalton, long known throughout the East Kootenay for his work in the performing arts, will present his engaging storytelling talents at Lotus Books in downtown Cranbrook in time for Sam Steele Days. “My father used to recite the stories and poems of Robert Service and Rudyard Kipling,” Dalton recalls. “My grandfather used to hear a good poem on the radio and recite it to us kids later. I come from a family history with a love for language and poetry. I’ve done storytelling in many different forms; years of stage and street theatre

liams and Joe Pierre.” And with the constant desire for human communication sculpting much of our current culture in the age of the internet, Dalton is quick to point out that a timeless pursuit such as storytelling is absolutely relevant in the 21st century. “This goes beyond tweeting or texting and all of that. This is a direct rapport between the speaker and the listener, and you can’t do it with

technology getting in the way. This is an opportunity to use language and imagination as the tool to make this work, and it’s incredibly addicting to both the presenter and the audience.” Gary Dalton performs live storytelling sessions this Saturday, June 21 at Lotus Books (33-10th Avenue South, downtown Cranbrook); showtimes 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2 p.m. Bring the family!

The young war criminal speaks

hatever else you may say about the “young war criminal” (as British journalist Alan Watkins used to call former prime minister Tony Blair), he certainly fights his corner with great determination. He is condemned to spend his life defending his part in the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and last weekend he was at it again. In a 3,000-word essay on his website, Tony Blair wrote about last week’s conquest of almost half Iraq’s territory by the fanatical fighters of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria): “We have to liberate ourselves from the notion that ‘we’ have caused this. We haven’t.” What he really meant by “we”, of course, was “I”. And he would say that, wouldn’t he? But at least give Blair credit for producing an interesting argument. “As for how these (recent) events reflect on the original decision to remove Saddam,” he wrote, “... (the argument) is that but for the invasion of 2003, Iraq would be a stable country today....” “Consider the post 2011 Arab uprisings. Put into the equation the counterfactual – that Saddam and his two sons would be running Iraq in 2011 when the uprisings began. Is it seriously being said that the revolution sweeping the Arab world would have hit Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria ... but miraculously Iraq, under the most brutal and tyrannical of all the regimes, would have been an oasis of calm?” “So it is a bizarre reading of the cauldron that is the Middle East today, to claim that but for the removal of Saddam, we would not have a crisis.” Blair is employing one of his favourite techniques: winning an argument with a straw man. Nobody is actually saying that

if the United States, Britain and some hangers-on had not illegally invaded Iraq in 2003, the country would be an “oasis of calm” today. Of course the “Arab Spring” would have come to Iraq too, and of course there would be huge turmoil in the country today. If Saddam Hussein had managed to hang on to power in the face of a democratic uprising in 2011 that was initially non-violent, Iraq today might be in a civil war Gwynne somewhat like that in Syria. And if his dictatorship had Dyer been overthrown in 2011, whatever new government emerged in Iraq would certainly be contending with acute ethnic and sectarian rivalries today. But the living standards, infrastructure, and health and educational services of a quite developed country would not have been massively degraded by a decade of invasion, foreign occupation and popular resistance. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who were killed in these events would still be alive (although Saddam’s secret police would have murdered the usual thousand or so each year). And above all there would be no ISIS, nor anything like it. There were no terrorists in Iraq in 2003. There were people with radical Islamist ideas, but they kept quiet for fear of Saddam’s torturers and there weren’t very many of them. And there were no “weapons of mass destruction” either. It was an exceptionally dumb war, to borrow Barack Obama’s famous phrase, and it began the destruction of Iraq. It is the deep sectarian divisions in Iraq’s Arabic-speaking population (the Kurds are a separate issue) that are now completing that process of destruction. However, as with the distinctions between Catholics, Orthodox Christians and Mus-

lims in old Yugoslavia before the break-up and the Balkan wars of the 1990s, most Sunnis and Shias in Iraq before 2003 lived side by side with a fairly low degree of friction. It was the fight against foreign occupation after 2003 that radicalised people in Iraq and drove so many of them back into narrow sectarian identities. “Al-Qaeda in Iraq”, the original name for what now calls itself ISIS, was born in that struggle, and Tony Blair and George W. Bush were its midwives. It’s striking that Al-Qaeda in Iraq’s main target during the occupation was to kill large numbers of Shias rather than lots of Americans. Its strategy was to provoke a sectarian war in which Iraqi Sunnis would be losing at first — but then their plight would trigger intervention by Sunni states in the region and lead to a general Sunni-Shia war. It was a convoluted, nasty and deeply unrealistic strategy, but it made sense in terms of their radical Islamist ideology. If there had been no invasion, and Saddam Hussein had been overthrown by a popular revolution only three years ago, there would certainly be great tension in a newly democratic Iraq now. Sunni Arabs would be having trouble coming to terms with their minority status (which most were unaware of under Saddam). Shias would be tempted to exploit their majority status unfairly. Kurds would be pushing for more autonomy. But they would be doing so in an atmosphere that had not been contaminated by a decade of sectarian hatred and savagery. There would be no organisations like ISIS dedicated to waging a sectarian war. And even if Saddam Hussein had not been overthrown and Iraq was caught up in a civil war like Syria’s, it would have a far less sectarian character. As would Syria’s, for that matter.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Thanks to the communities we serve

The Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP officers would like to personally thank members of our community for your condolences as a result of the tragedy in Moncton. Your kind words and thoughtful gestures to express your gratitude and sorrow brought a level of comfort to our officers during a very difficult time. Your cards, flowers, baking and small tokens of appreciation have been a constant reminder of the great people we proudly serve. We would also like to extend a special thank you to the Cranbrook Alliance Church for hosting the Memorial Service for RCMP members and the community. Cpl. Chris Newel Kimberley/Cranbrook RCMP

Auditor review

You will rarely see me writing a letter to the editor; however I am feeling compelled as a tax payer to do so and only because I care so much about Kimberley. Being that this is an election year, it is important that we understand the facts about the expenditures that our city is dealing with now and will be incurring in the future. It is public knowledge that our taxes are going up and will continue to go up at least four per cent annually, as per the city plan. It is evident that the flume costs are well over budget and only one third complete. Doing some research I have found out that the original budget was $4.25 million and the new budget is $6.8 million. The city costs to date are $3.4 million and the future cost to the city is another $1.4 million and the grants are $2 million. Cost to the city — $4.8 million. I expect the Council to be very “transparent” with the facts and costs. I am in support of an Auditor General reviewing the flume budget, not for pointing fingers, but to get the facts and figures on what Council and operations can do to be more cost effective. I will be and am encouraging all city tax payers to put pressure on Council to have the Auditor General review the project expenses. This is only one of many expenditures that we are needing to pay for. How about all the other unknowns, like the infrastructure costs present and future? It appears that our city, as great as it is, will not be the “good place to be” if our costs are going up and taxes are increasing annually at a rapid rate. It is time we start paying attention to our City finances, and put pressure on Council to be open and honest about the reality of our City’s financial state. The gravy Cominco days are over, we can’t keep spending like we have a corporate tax giant. Especially when our largest employer is a civil service. There is no way we can run our private households and businesses over budget and expect to maintain a quality life. I appreciate all the countless hours that Mayor and Council put into our city, however being financially accountable to the electorate is critical to the future of our city. Janis Caldwell-Sawley Kimberley

Meat Draw

I was surprised and sad to learn of the demise of the Meat Draw on Thursdays at the Elks. The people involved in this group are dedicated to helping others. Our home burnt to the ground in February. We lost everything. We felt devastated, alone and helpless. On top of which, we were now homeless. Saying that I was overwhelmed by our loss would be putting it mildly. I have M.S. and my husband has a kidney disease. We had more than enough on our plates before the fire. We have insurance, but anyone who has ever had a major loss knows that insurance claims like this are a difficult process. This group of people came forward unasked and helped us. The money they gave us was a tremendous help. It wasn’t just the money — they gave me hope. They made me feel like, “Yes, I can do this.” These people helped us when we needed a hand up and not a hand out. I was able to keep my dignity while receiving the help I needed. It is a real shame that bureaucracy had to get in the way of good people doing good things for others. We need more people like the Thursday Meat Draw group in our lives and less bureaucratic nonsense. I hope there is a way for them to continue their meat draws. Leslie Taylor Lamb Kimberley

Finding a home

Over the past six years a group of community volunteers have been working to build a homeless shelter here in Cranbrook to service the entire East Kootenay. There are no shelter beds between Lethbridge, Alberta, and Nelson, B.C. Cranbrook is the centre for people of all needs in our region. It also meets the needs of many homeless who require a wide range of services, temporary shelter, food, clothing, social income, health care — both physical and mental, and things as simple as a bus to get around in winter. They come to our city broken; broken homes, broken marriages, broken childhoods and in some cases addictions that have robbed a lifetime of potential. Early in this initiative we sat down with our MLA Bill Bennett and at that time asked his help in securing annual funding for the Salvation Army and the Kootenay Christian Fellowship to operate cold weather shelters. His pledge at that meeting was that if we could not find government funding that he would roll up his sleeves with us and we would phone everyone in town until we had raised the $70,000 required to run the shelters that winter. Bill has been on board since then. We have learned to keep our focus and to adapt to new funding realities. On May 23, Bill toured the Willowbridge housing complex in Kelowna with members of our local Salvation Army. Willowbridge operates a 40-suite supported living building which will work very well to meet the needs of the homeless in the East Kootenay. It will require 35 per cent of the funds to build and 30 per cent of the funds to operate that our first proposal required. The homeless coalition will continue to work with all community partners to realize a permanent year-round shelter in Cranbrook. Thank you to all who have given and continue to donate in support of this initiative. Thank you to all in our region who believe in the need for this shelter and to Bill for taking that need to the Legislature in Victoria. We will keep working at this. Neil Cook Cranbrook

Disputes

Mr. Matheson’s dislike of unions and union members that he exhibited in his last two letters to this newspaper has prompted me to write. Strikes or lockouts are often ugly and emotional occurrences. It doesn’t matter which business or union is battling it out, one of them will inevitably be labelled greedy. After 32 years of coal mining, I can tell you that not once did my employer voluntarily give me a raise. For one reason or another, it was never the right time. But we always worked it out. If I read it right, his attitude seems to be that if he can’t have a pension then nobody else should get one. This should be labelled as “a race to the bottom.” Pension envy, Mr. Matheson? Bruce Zimich Cranbrook

Ruthlessness

I do not want to live in the society that Neil Matheson argues for in his letter comparing the Public vs the Private sector. He highlights the private sectors abandonment of employee pensions, and notes that “wages and benefits, particularly benefits, have been badly eroded.” He suggests we need our government to have “the courage to be as ruthless as the private sector.” To eliminate what he perceives as a class distinction between the public and private sectors. He mocks public sector unions support of the “fundamental principle of creating a more equable society.” Apparently Mr. Matheson feels that because some people in our society don’t receive decent wages or pensions then no one should. I would suggest the opposite, that everyone deserves a decent wage and security in their retirement. My father worked for a large company that has made record profits for years but is continually trying to claw back on wages, benefits, work-life balance and pension. Corporate greed is not an admirable trait and we do not need our government to further emulate that model. We need a government with the courage to represent the citizens of this province with integrity. To be ruthless in the protection of citizens rights and generous in providing the tools society needs so that we can all be a part of the privileged class. John Dawson Cranbrook

Chile reception: Spain eliminated from World Cup GR AHAM DUNBAR Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Defending champion Spain, the dominant global football power for the past six years, was eliminated from World Cup contention Wednesday with a 2-0 loss to Chile. Spain’s famed passing game failed against a high-tempo, tenacious Chile team, its era ending in the storied Maracana Stadium filled mostly with Chilean supporters. Eduardo Vargas tricked goalkeeper Iker Casillas into diving the wrong way, then shot into an unguarded goal in the 20th minute. Charles Aranguiz scored in the 43rd when the ball landed at his feet after Casillas punched out a free kick. Spain’s second loss, after a 5-1 rout by the Netherlands, ended any hope of advancing. Chile and the Netherlands will both advance, regardless of who wins the game between them.

Spain won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012, in addition to the 2010 World Cup. Spain came to Brazil with a very similar - but older - team than the one that won those titles. They added Brazilian-born striker Diego Costa, but he failed to score a goal. Their “tiki-taka” style of play - keeping the ball for long stretches with short passes, and only shooting when you had a clear opening - had not been working as well in recent years. Brazil defeated Spain 3-0 in last summer’s Confederations Cup, a warmup for the World Cup.

Spectator sports for Sam Steele Days TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Sam Steele Days is coming up and there will be all kinds of spectator events—including sports—happening throughout the community over the next three days. Sam Steele Ball Tournament June 20-22 A staple for the Sam Steele weekend celebrations is the ball tournament, which will be hosted by the Kinsmen Quads and the Moir Park ball fields.

Bandits hosting a pair of double-headers Two U.S. teams making the trip to Confederation Park TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

With two tough games against the Kootenai Valley Rangers, the Bandits have come home to regroup before hosting a pair of doubleheaders this weekend. The Cranbrook boys made it a close one in Eureka against the Rangers to start, but lost 3-1, and gave up the lead to an 11-9 decision in favour of their opponents during the rematch. Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek said his team got down early in the opening match, and couldn’t make up the deficit. Despite that, there were some bright spots, he added. “[Tyler] Thorn pitched great,” said Mrazek. “He threw 71 pitches in six innings, which is a really low pitch count, and 79 per cent of his pitches were around the knees, so he’s keeping the ball down and he gave our team a chance to win, but the guys didn’t hit the ball. “We didn’t generate any runs and on top of that, a couple errors added to making it diffi-

cult.” The Bandits had a short break before heading back out onto the field for the rematch. It was a much better beginning, as the team went up 7-2 after two innings, but the lead didn’t last. “We turned it around, came out and the first inning of Game Two we scored five, had four hits in the first inning. Then we got a couple more the next inning, but then we went to sleep,” said Mrazek. “We let Eureka slowly creep back in. Next thing you know, it’s 8-2, 8-4, and 8-6. Next thing you know, we’ve lost 11-9.” Again, it was a combination of playing well in some areas, but coming up short in others, Mrazek added. “Devon [Marra] pitched well, he pitched well enough to win again, and the bats went flat after the second inning,” he said. “We had a total of eight hits—four of those were in the first inning, so that means for the next six they didn’t do much.” Though the pitching

was good, the bats weren’t making hits and some fielding errors proved costly. “We got to have the full package. We can’t go out and pitch well and not hit the ball and expect to win,” Mrazek added. “We got to pitch well, we got to field well and we got to hit well. You got to have all three things. If you do that and you make a couple errors, you’re still probably going to win.” The two losses served as a lesson on confidence after stringing together four wins in a row a few weeks ago. “You can’t go 4-0 one weekend and then show up the next weekend thinking you’re going to win,” Mrazek said. “I think they get that now, and we’ll see what happens this weekend.” The Bandits will face the Whitefish Glacier ‘B’ team on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Confederation Park, which they’ve beaten in all three meetings. On Sunday, the Bandits host the Bitterroot Bucs—a new team they have yet to meet.

Rowing club competes in Vernon For the Townsman

It was a cool and blustery day in Vernon on Saturday, June 14, when the Vernon Rowing Regatta commenced. Among 30 crews from centres as far apart as Vancouver to the Cariboo and the East Kootenay were two crews representing Cranbrook’s Rockies Rowing Club. Four young ladies, members of the Rockies Rowing Club, learned to row and train on Jimsmith Lake this year in double scull racing boats owned by the club. They worked hard to gain their skills under dedicated organization and coaching by Roberta Rodgers. They were out on the water at 6:30 or 7 a.m. most mornings and many evenings and eventually met with good success at Vernon as well as gaining invaluable experience.

The girls raced in double sculls over a distance of 3,500 metres and finished ahead of a number of entries. This race was a major test of endurance for everyone with difficult wind conditions. The second race was a 500 metres sprint and our girls were in a four seat sculling boat called a quad. This was a difficult race for them, being in a different sort of boat and no time to become familiar with it. Plans for the future include racing at the BC Summer Games in Nanaimo, July 17 to 20, as well as other regattas in the area. On the second day of the regatta there were technical training sessions including one-onone coaching which provided important experience. The whole exercise was orchestrated by the principal coach, Roberta Rodgers.

The Rockies Rowing club is supported by a small but dedicated group of local enthusiasts led by Rodgers. It have three doubles and two singles with the capability of providing adaptive rowing for handicapped oarsmen. Rowing is an exciting sport and an excellent way to use all the muscles in your body at a rate that suits each individual. The program includes learn to row classes lasting approximately six hours on the water and then novices as well as experienced rowers can row together or singly for recreation or upgrading to racing standards. All interested people are welcome to come and see the boats and talk about the sport by contacting Roberta at 250 489 0174 or Brian Passey at 250 489 2220 (numscull@shaw.ca). Lessons can also be arranged at that time.

Blue Jays suffer 7-3 defeat at Yankee Stadium Rick Freeman Associated Press

NEW YORK - To lose 15 games in a row in one ballpark takes a lot of lousy luck. The Toronto Blue Jays know all about that after dropping their 15th straight at Yankee Stadium with a 7-3 defeat Wednesday night. For the second night in a row, a short home run to right field proved their undoing.

Brian McCann hit a go-ahead, two-run homer and later added a bases-loaded triple for New York. The night before, Brett Gardner hit one off the foul pole in right, just above the sign indicating the fence is 314 feet from home plate. “I gave up a flyball to right field that’s a two-run homer and we lose the game,“ starter Mark Buehrle said. ”Same thing as yester-

day - a little 318-foot flyball that ends up going out. It’s frustrating when you come out and battle, tonight and last night, and pretty much it’s two losses on that short porch in right field.“ The Yankees beat Buehrle for the ninth straight time and took the first two in a threegame series. Buehrle (10-4) was trying to tie Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka

for the most wins in the majors. The left-hander gave up three runs and six hits in six innings and lost his third straight start overall. Buehrle is 1-11 lifetime against the Yankees, with his lone win coming in 2004 with the Chicago White Sox. McCann tied his career high with five RBIs. Toronto’s Jose Bautista had an RBI double in the eighth for his 1,000th career hit.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I believe my husband is having an emotional affair with his employee “Tina.” All the signs are there. My husband’s office phone accidentally dialed me while he was talking with Tina at work, and I overheard their conversation. He called her terms of love. I started snooping and discovered that they text each other hundreds of times a month. He lets her know when I’m away from the house so she can call him directly. Tina is the first person he calls on his way to work and the last person he calls on his way home. It used to be me. We’ve been married for 18 months, but we are not kids. We are in our 50s. I’m stunned by his behavior. When I confronted him, he said he isn’t doing anything wrong because nothing physical has happened between them. Since then, he’s become more secretive and won’t discuss it at all. I am so saddened by this. He is giving to Tina a part of him that is meant for me, his wife. I am going to therapy, and that helps. But I have reached the point where I no longer have the feelings of love for my husband that I used to. I’m upset with him all of the time. Tell your readers that an emotional affair is just as damaging as a physical one -- maybe more so. -- Heart of Stone Dear Heart: Some partners mistakenly believe that if there is no sex, there is no affair. But giving your emotions, your heart, your innermost thoughts to someone other than your spouse is also cheating. It creates a bond with a third party, allowing that person into your marriage. We are glad you are getting counseling, but if your husband does not understand the damage he is doing and makes no effort to change it, we worry that your marriage will not survive. (You also might point out that he is putting his career in jeopardy by becoming involved with a subordinate.) Dear Annie: After 20 years of marriage, my husband and I divorced because he was having an affair. My now ex-in-laws have welcomed the Other Woman into their lives. Even before we were divorced, my ex-mother-in-law was hanging out with my ex-husband and his mistress. I feel totally betrayed by my ex’s family. I still spend time with my ex-in-laws because of my three teenage children. They keep saying that they still love me and that I am still their daughter, but would any family member, especially a mother, cozy up to the person who caused her daughter so much pain? Am I overreacting? -- L. Dear L.: You are expecting loyalty from someone who cannot give it. As much as they may love and care about you, your inlaws love and care about their son more. Even if they believe their son behaved terribly toward you, this Other Woman may become his wife and your children’s stepmother. If they reject her, they risk alienating him. Your best bet is to learn to live graciously with the situation in order to make it easier for your children. If you cannot achieve this on your own, please consider counseling. Dear Annie: “Can’t Please Mother” said Mom never was happy about any gift she received from her kids. I have a different perspective. My sons have given me electronic devices, but never took the time to show me how to use them, so they sit in my dresser under my socks. When my grandchild was born, I received a cup with her picture. It was the best gift ever, and I said so, yet I never got another one. I once visited a woman who had shelf after shelf of “stuff” she couldn’t use, and all she did was dust it all every week. People should listen to what others truly want. -- Nebraska Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Selenium is a metal that is showing up in the waters of our rivers & is harmful at certain concentrations. The government and the company are dedicated to addressing the problem, while allowing industry to access new coal deposits to keep the mines operating.

$ $

Teck Coal has committed to spending billions over the long term on a valley-wide response to stabilize selenium levels and eventually reverse the trend. It will take huge investment in water treatment facilities and must happen in a way that does not jeopardize the viability of the industry.

The Ministries of Environment and Energy & Mines are working with Teck, the Ktunuxa and community stakeholders towards a plan that will stabilize selenium levels as soon as practically possible, given the hundreds of millions it will cost to build treatment plants. These actions will preserve these good jobs & protect the environment.

Protect our earth. Free Landscape and Outdoor Water Audit The City of Kimberley would like to help you reduce your water use by providing you with a free Landscape and water audit. You will also receive a free shut off timer or rain sensor. Just call 250427-6141 or email waterconservation@kimberley.ca

FAIR!

The Cranbrook Daily Townsman and the Kimberley Daily Bulletin promote recycling.

at: 1bev@live.com Saturday & Sunday September 27 & 28

We use vegetable-based inks, and our newsprint, tin and aluminum waste is recycled.

Booths inside: $150 Corner: $175 Outside: $135

An audit will include: assessing watering routine, reviewing lawn and soil conditions, determining landscape and watering needs, and providing simple recommendations to help reduce watering usage where possible. This simple, 30 minute audit can dramatically help reduce your water waste while maintaining a healthy lawn. Why conserve water? First off, a reduction in water usage will reduce the wear and tear on our water supply system, helping it last longer. A reduction also reduces the need for a new water supply system, saving money for the community. And we have to remember that water is a limited resource so we must conserve it to help insure a future supply. The City of Kimberley has a water consumption greater than the B.C. and Canadian average. While The City of Kimberley is committed to reducing water use through system improvements and wise water practices, it is essential that residents engage themselves in the Water Smart Initiative by making simple changes to both indoor and outdoor water use practices.

Yarn bombing hits Nelson area Nelson Star

While yarn bombing started in Texas in the 1990s as a personal expression to make boring public places and things less boring, Nelson’s Jane Merks chose to celebrate International Yarn Bombing Week by filling her friend’s front yard with small pieces of colourful joy. A few years ago Merks received a garbage bag full of crocheting thread and that winter she crocheted about 1,000 circles in a dozen colours. This year she finally

decided what to do with them, stringing them on cord, wire or bamboo poles and placing them in a yard on Mill Street.

Others have created cozies for bridges, lace coverings for trees or knitted scarves for statues.

SAM STEELE DAYS

1960s The Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored the first Sam Steele Days which took place during the third week of August for the next nine years. Some of the earliest events have continued without fail to the present day: the Grand Parade (the original parade route took entrants down 3rd Ave and then north along Van Horne St and onto Baker St.) continually attracts thousands each year with many also attending the Kiddies Parade. Both the Eagles and Kinsman clubs hosted outdoor bingo games which continue today under varying sponsorship. The fireworks have remained a big draw since day one as has the dunk tank; the “seat of honour” generally held by local politicians and dignitaries who don’t

mind a good dunking for a good cause. Another instant hit was the pancake breakfast which has become a gastronomic cornerstone of the celebration, with numerous businesses and fraternal organizations sponsoring the event. The Cold War was still a factor during the inaugural Sam Steele Days and concessions were provided courtesy of the civil defense truck. The local Ktunaxa Nation presented an “authentic Indian Village and Pow Wow” and has continued as an ongoing part of Sam Steele Days ever since. The beard-growing contest proved popular as did the “Hootenanny”, which gradually transformed into a “Kootenanny” and is now reflected in the popular Live Stage. The first Logger’s Sports took place on an empty lot on the corner of 12th Ave. and 1st St. Since then the competition has relocated numerous times and

Riding Club. There was no Sweetheart Pageant initially, but the following year Karin Penner took over the reins she still holds today, ensuring a long and lovely line of Sam Steele Sweethearts and Princesses. The 1960s also saw regular amateur musicals during Sam Steele Days, produced by the Cranbrook Community Theatre, including “Oklahoma”, “Calamity Jane”, “Finian’s Rainbow” and “Showboat.” An annual Arts & Craft Show was introduced as was the Lion’s Walkyears, eventually moving athon, to Wycliffe under the the Kootenay River raft direction of the Maverick race, snowmobile races, remains a stalwart sporting event as does baseball, softball, soccer and golf. The tradition of an open-air “Teen Dance” began the first year, often held at the tennis courts near Mt. Baker School. The turkey shoot at the Alkali (now the Community Forest) was a oneshot deal but the rodeo at Stahl’s Rodeo Grounds near the end of the strip continued for many

SAM STEELE DAYS 2014 wrestling and square dancing. The Kimberley Pipe Band and Cranbrook Girl’s Bugle Band have delighted parade spectators year after year, often joined by visiting groups. Stock car races held initially at the original Moir Park and later at Echo Field/Cranbrook International Speedway also became a long running event In 1968 the Junior Chamber of Commerce passed the celebration to a newly formed Sam Steele Days Committee that has shouldered the burden ever since, ably assisted by the Jaycees, the Chamber of Commerce and Cranbrook’s numerous lodges and fraternities and hundreds of volunteers. Venues have changed over the years, of course. The popular Scandinavian Bluebird Inn is gone, although the group continues to play a role in the festivities. The Knights of Pythias Hall, Echo Field Raceway, Stahl’s Rodeo Grounds, old Moir Park, Baker Park ball field, Mount Baker School ball field and track, Central Park and the Armond Theatre have all been replaced by other locales. The former Bishop Doyle property is now Balment Park while Baker Park, Rotary Park, Baker Street and 10th Ave., all remain as central locations for many of the activities. Other events during the Sam Steele Days of the 1960s included the opening of Fort Steele Historic Park and Confederation Park.

SAM STEELE DAYS

1970s The 1970s saw many of the events become a part of the celebrations for many years to come: logger’s sports, the parade, the beer gardens (the first in 1970 sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce), the ACT fireworks at Mt. Baker School field, the Scandinavian Brothers dance at the Bluebird in, the Teen Dance, the

Sweetheart Pageant, the Old-Time Fiddler’s contest, the Kiddies Parade,

beard-growing, gold panning, raft racing, baseball, soccer, golf and the Saturday parade which was attracting over 10,000 spectators annually. Dog, shows, bicycle races, wagon trains, Indian villages, art and crafts displays at the Masonic Hall (now the Studio), agricultural fairs at Moir park, hot air balloons, gymkhanas, chariot races, street dances, penny carnivals all saw their day. The 11th Ave soap box derby became a fixture as did the children’s Elephant Hunt and the

fishing Derby at Idlewild Park which officially dedicated during Sam Steele Days ’76. The Sam Steele Days Citizens’ Committee Society was incorporated in 1973 and in 1975 the celebration was moved to the first week of July where it remained for the remainder of the decade. Sam Steele made his first official appearance on the booster buttons in 1974. Disco music entered the scene 1977 and deejays playing recorded tunes began to take the place of live music at many dances. Interest waned in 1978 but despite poor weather a scaled-down celebration took place featuring Sam Steele’s Scouts Commemorative Troop at Fort Steele. Sam Steele days was cancelled for the first and only time in 1979, although a small

group of organizers put together a ‘Community Days” which once again met with bad weather and poor turnouts. The Sam Steele Sweetheart Pageant was held as always, however, ensuring that the city maintained its royal representation. Sam Steele’s Scouts Commemorative Troop presented demonstrations in 1978 and they are back again this year. Things looked a little doubtful by the end of the decade but a group of volunteers picked up the ball in 1980 and Sam Steele Days has been rolling right along ever since.

SAM STEELE DAYS

1980s The 1980s saw Sam Steele Days emerge as one of largest and most well-attended annual celebration in the Kootenays. Many of the original events continued as usual with improvements made year by year for the benefit of both the participants and the spectators. Fads came and went; outhouse races, hang-gliding, spike-driving, break

dancing, truck rodeos, motocross endurance races, pentathlons, elk bugling and cricket all saw their day. Other events were introduced which became staples for years to come; The Byng introduced outdoor waiter’s races, the Kimbo Swingers re-popularized square dancing and the firemen’s barrel fill race at old Fire Hall No.1. Sam Steele Casino and bingos served as fund-raisers for the event and Canadian Museum of Rail Travel annual heritage awards put many businesses and residences on the map. Slo-pitch appeared in 1985 has continued to grow in popularity. The Baker Home held its official opening in 1983 and the Rotary Clock Tower was dedicated in 1985. Horseshoes, logger’s sports, the festival beer gardens (hosted by the Cranbrook Royals Hockey team), Gospel concerts in the park and auto racing at the Cranbrook International Speedway all remained very popular. Lord Strathcona’s Horse made an appearance twice in the 1980s and our new sister city of Coeur D’Alene, Idaho was honored in 1987, the 100th

anniversary of the arrival to our area of Sam Steele and the NWMP.

others, all celebrated their silver anniversary. Waiter’s races, horseshoes, elephant hunts and fishing derbies, remained SAM STEELE in vogue joined by gospel music festivals, dog shows DAYS and demonstration, antique and classic car displays, wrist wrestling, wallyball, soap box derbies and the Mt.

s we approach the dates of our annual festival, I know there are some who wonder why and what benefits festivals are to a community. I did a little research on the impacts of community events and festivals. The term “event” is used to describe a wide range of activities many of which have quite different characteristics. Events vary from local community based events to major events (e.g. The Olympics) Events have direct and indirect impacts on communities. They provide opportunities for participation, skills development, volunteering and social, cultural economic and environmental developments. Community events and festivals can attract tourists and visitors. Events help to capture attention and promote attractions and infrastructures. They make it possible to maximize and rationalize the use of certain spaces. Preservation of these spaces may result

in financial benefits and dissemination of artistic and cultural heritages. Benefits of festivals to communities can be extensive, particularly when the draw is from outside the region. Research shows that the more involved local people and suppliers are in terms of provision of services, food, beverages, and attractions, the greater the economic benefits to the region. Local vendors, artisans, craftspeople, restauranteurs, hoteliers may make a large portion of their annual income during the course of an event. Festivals and events have impacts that go well beyond what can be measured in economic terms. They contribute to the quality of life by strengthening communities, providing unique activities and events, building awareness of diverse cultures and identities, and acting as a source of community pride. I don’t claim to be a historian, but I do know I’ve been involved for

many years and have watched the festival grow and change over the years. Let’s look at Sam Steele Days 2014. Two weeks ago, the central fair grounds were booked to capacity with vendors and artisans. Seventy-two ball teams and thirty four soccer teams will be playing in the parks around the city. Out of town floats from Kelowna, Trail, Whitefish, Deer Park, Calgary and Penticton will join the local parade entries. The Rocky Mountain Loggers Sports Show, Strongman Competition and Wheels of Steele (FMX Riders and Skateboarders) enhance the schedule of events and folks, the list keeps going. Participants come from out of town, they stay here, and they eat here and probably pay a visit to one or more events. Economic impact – yes definitely. And who puts this all together? Who finances this festival? Many valued sponsors. Watch

for their names at the different events. Take a minute to say thanks. Without their support events would be minimal. Volunteers – you know those people who donate the gift of time to make things happen. It would be fun to sometime have the time to sit down and figure out how many volunteers and volunteer hours are actually spent to put Sam Steele Days on. Those are the people who are involved and excited about the opportunity to bring this community together. Sam Steele Days, contributes to the economic diversification, attracts tourists and visitors, increases community pride, organizes and builds partnerships and involves hundreds of people. It’s a good thing, enjoy!

BC Chamber welcomes Accessibility 2024 plan Vancouver, June 16, 2014 – The BC Chamber of Commerce has welcomed the B.C. government’s Accessibility 2014 plan, which seeks to make B.C. the most progressive province in Canada for people with disabilities by 2024. “We commend the government for creating a plan to help all British Columbians participate fully in B.C. workplaces and beyond,” said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber. The BC Chamber has engaged with government on this file since the early 2000s when, in the context of a looming skills shortage, the Chamber identified British Columbians with disabilities as one of a number of under-represented groups in B.C. workplaces. “We saw an opportunity to not only assist disabled British Columbians, but also to help employers seeking skilled workers but who balked at employing people with disabilities due to what was wrongly perceived as a high cost of accommodation,” Winter said. “With this investment, much of that misconception can be dealt with.” Winter noted that the BC Chamber supports all efforts to remove barriers that are keeping British Columbians from contributing their skills and expertise to B.C.’s economy. “We look forward to seeing positive changes on this front as the Province moves forward with this important initiative,” he said. In May, BC Chamber of Commerce members voted in a policy to reduce red tape to enable more disabled Canadians to access Canada’s Registered Disability Savings Plan. The BC Chamber is the largest and most broadly-based business organization in the province. Representing more than 125 Chambers of Commerce and 36,000 businesses of every size, sector and region of the province, the BC Chamber of Commerce is “The Voice of Business in BC.”
