Resident points to dangerous intersection ARNE PETRYSHEN

In a letter to city council, a resident cautioned of the dangers that the intersection of Highway 95A, Theatre Road and Mission Road presents to motorists and

other traffic. The intersection lies just outside of Cranbrook. Paul Sawatzky wrote that he witnessed an accident there on May 5 involving two SUVs.

“I was outside at the time and was one of the first people to respond to the accident,” he said. “A tire from one of the vehicles involved in the crash ended up in the front yard of our business.”

Sawatzky noted this wasn’t the first accident he’d seen there, as his place of employment is located just off the intersection. “This intersection is extremely busy,” Sawatzky

wrote. “There is a large volume of traffic on Highway 95A throughout the day. The resort at St. Eugene generates a high volume of traffic. Many motorists use Theatre Road as an access road for

Cranbrook. Immediately after this intersection is the turn off for Collinson Road which is used to access the parking lot for Rails to Trails.”

Ktunaxa set to appeal Jumbo judicial review T R E V O R C R AW L E Y

The Ktunaxa Nation will be appealing a judicial review of the Jumbo Glacier Resort that went in favour of the provincial government in April. On Friday, lawyers will present arguments to in the B.C. Court of Appeal in Vancouver, as the Ktunaxa Nation seeks to overturn a judicial review that determined the B.C. government acted appropriately when it approved a Master Development Plan for Jumbo in 2012. The review was launched in January 2014 and came down in favour of the province three months later. The Ktunaxa Nation Council disagrees with the decision that concluded that building a large ski resort in a sacred area known as Qat’muk would not interfere with Ktunaxa spiritual beliefs and practices. The Ktunaxa Nation Council says otherwise, according to chair Kathryn Teneese. “The basis of it is we do not feel that the court and the province correctly assessed the impact of the develop-

ment on Ktunaxa spirituality,” said Teneese. “…I’ll give the benefit of the doubt—probably because they didn’t understand what we were bringing forward that it was not given, in our opinion, full consideration in the decision—first of all to move forward in the development, secondly in our application for judicial review. “Now, we’re hoping that the court now will agree with us and we can proceed with a judicial review of the decision.” The Ktunaxa have lived in the region for centuries and have a deep spiritual connection to the animal world and, in particular, to the grizzly bear. Qat’muk, the Ktunaxa descriptor for the Jumbo massif, is considered a special place where the Grizzly Bear Spirit was born, goes to heal itself, and returns to the spirit world. According to Ktunaxa beliefs, the Grizzly Bear Spirit is an important source of guidance, strength, protection and spirituality.

Their car breaking down in the wilderness between Vancouver and Cranbrook prevented them from making it.

Curling club looks for Grand Slam ARNE PE TRYSHEN

The City of Cranbrook and the Cranbrook Curling Club are hoping that 2017 will be a year that kicks off with a world class curling event in the city. The two

groups are close to signing an agreement to put in a bid for the 2017 Sportsnet Grand Slam of Curling which is planned for Jan. 4 - 8, 2017. Bill Brock, president of the Cranbrook Curling Club

said the event will have a great draw and bring a lot of attention to the city and region. “Sportsnet initially told us there would be the 10 best men’s teams in the world

He gave some suggestions to make the intersection safer, including: drop the highway speed limit at that location down to 60 km/h; install warning signs; install rumble strips and/or speed bumps; and increase RCMP enforcement at that area. He suggested a traffic light could be an option as well. At city council on Monday, CAO Wayne Staudt clarified that part of the intersection is in city limits where it comes into Theatre Road. “Then the highway part is outside city limits. The area coming in from Mission Road is of course not city limits, but we do have some city limit issues going on there.” Staudt said he has spoken to the city’s Director of Engineering

A serious accident occurred May 5 at the intersection of Theatre Rd. and Highway 95A about the letter. “This is a bad corner and we need to work with highways, whether it ends up being streetlights or widening of the road — more turnout lanes or whatever — but it definitely is going to be a joint effort between us and (The Department of) Highways.” Sharpe said he has been in discussions with Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. “They have identi-

fied it as an intersection of concern as well,” Sharpe said, adding that a basic investigation found 29 accidents since 2007. “Ten of those were injury accidents.” Sharpe noted that he drives from Kimberley and has witnessed accidents there many times. Cardozo noted there are too many things going on in the intersection. “A lot of people think it’s just a matter of two

stop signs — well no, there’s also the two inways that come off each side,” she said. “It’s confusing.” Coun. Isaac Hockley wondered if they could put the speed reader sign at that location. Staudt pointed out that speed wasn’t the problem in this case. “It’s not a speeding concern, it’s a traffic control area that needs to be improved,” Staudt said.

Family means drama, laughs, crises, secrets, and love. The season will open in October with “Making God Laugh” by Sean Grennan, and introducing director Trevor Lundy. The holidays always bring out the best, and the worst, in families and this one is no different. Over a span of thirty years, Ruthie and Bill welcome their adult children home for the festivities. In January 2016, Terry Miller will direct Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize winning drama “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”.

Liberals acclaim Kootenay-Columbia candidate

Don Johnston of Nelson to take on Wilks, Stetski and Green Barry Coulter

And then there were four. The Liberal Party of Canada will be represented in the riding of Kootenay-Columbia in the upcoming federal election, with the acclamation of Don Johnston of Nelson as candidate. Johnston was officially acclaimed Wednesday in Nelson, a city which is for the first time part of the Kootenay-Columbia riding with recent redrawing of constituency boundaries. He will be running against Conservative David Wilks, NDP candidate Wayne Stetski and Green Party candidate Bill Green. “What’s prompting me to run is a pretty high level of dissatisfaction with the current political situation in Canada, and in particular the ‘attitudinal issues’ towards democracy of this present government,” Johnston told the Townsman in an interview earlier this week. “My entire personal history, professional and volunteer, has been if you see something you believe needs changing, then you have a responsibility to get involved at whatever level you can and in this par-

ticular situation this is the level that I’m getting involved in.” Johnston grew up in the Kootenays and graduated from LV Rogers Senior Secondary in Nelson. He has had a 40-year career in community development, both within Canada and internationally. He has worked at the national level as President of Canada World Youth (CWY) and Canadian Executive Services Organization (CESO) and has served as the CEO of the Columbia Basin Trust. He has a Master of Arts degree in Leadership and Training from Royal Roads University in Victoria, British Columbia. Johnston spoke further to his dissatisfaction with the current government. “I think this government has become increasingly ideologically driven,” he said. “And really has gotten to a point where they’re simply not open even within their own caucus to influences — it’s really become a centralized party under the leadership of Mr. Harper. I think they’ve shown some real disrespect for the institutions like Parliament, like Question

Period. “ The Conservative government’s use of omnibus bills are another example. “The Liberal Party is committed to a much more open style of Parliament, where in fact free votes will be the norm rather than the rare exemption, where we will not use omnibus bills, in fact we will take a careful look a ways to make it more difficult to use omnibus bills or prorogation of Parliament,” Johnston said.

lumbia changes the riding’s dynamics in a number of ways, Johnston said. “The fact that the riding is now different changes a lot of the historical information and makes it a lot less clear about where we going in this particular election,” he said. “But there are a lot of different things that will come into play. But the diversity of this riding is not just east and west. Fernie is as different from Revelstoke as Creston is from Golden, and none of those places see themselves as Cranbrook or Nelson. I just don’t see

that east/west split in the same way. I think it’s a really diverse riding with different issues in different parts of the riding. “But we’re also all part of the Columbia Basin, and have been that way since the creation of the Columbia Basin Trust, so there’s a level of communication and understanding across the region, and a sense of common purpose and common need that didn’t exist before, and it’s getting stronger every year. So I think that changes the dynamic as well.” “The other big dynamic we’re seeing is that this divisive, negative approach is starting to really take its toll on the Conservative Party. If we’re going to win this riding, and I truly believe we can, we’re going to have to draw significant vote away from the Conservative vote — which last election was 57 per cent. It’s not about vote splitting here, its about making sure people understand there’s an alternative that they’re comfortable with, to create change and to have an MP who can actually represent the riding and is positioned to do so.” Johnston cites his skills and past experience as resume for running for the Liberals in Kootenay-Columbia. “Eighty per cent of

Canadians live in an urban environment, and (rural MPs) need to be loud and clear about what we need to do to lobby for the interests of people who live in a rural environment. My set of skills and understanding of the tremendous diversity of this riding will be a valuable asset.” Johnston will be in Cranbrook on May 29, hosting an open house — a “Meet the Liberal Candidate,” from 5 p.m to 7 p.m. “I encourage anyone who is interested in this election and is interested in meeting the Liberal candidate and finding out what some of our priorities

are to come out. This is a reception for people in Cranbrook, who are interested in meeting me and having a dialogue. “We also invite people to contact us, if they want to speak directly to me or if they want responses to questions and concerns they have, or if they want to invite us to a specific event in their community. We’re going to be accessible, and we welcome that kind of feedback, and we certainly welcome invitations.” Liberal candidate Don Johnston can be contacted at 250-5517789, or at don@donjohnstonliberal.ca

Ktunaxa set to appeal Jumbo review Continued from page 1

Representatives of the Ktunaxa Nation will be holding a media event on Friday before going into the hearing along with lawyers from the provincial government and the proponent. “Basically, it’s just our intent of reminding folks that we’re still involved and the issue hasn’t fallen off our radar and we want to hopefully find resolution and the only way that we have accessible to us at this present time is through the courts,” said Teneese. “We are going to be bringing forward some arguments that we feel are compelling, but it’s up to the court to make that decision.”

Kathryn Teneese

It will likely be a couple months for a decision to come back on the appeal. Alongside the court appeal process, the Ministry of Environment has to make a decision on the substantially started designation of the project and whether the Environment Assessment Certificate of the proponent is still valid.

Local NEWS Curling Club, City of Cranbrook seek Grand Slam Continued from page 1

Part of the reason there may be even more teams coming is that 2017 falls in a pre-Olympic Games year. “All the teams that are looking at competing in the Olympics in 2018 will want to com-

pete as much as they can in 2017,” he said. “So it should be a big draw for teams around the world. I would expect we’d get the teams from Russia, Japan, Korea, basically all the big teams in the world of

curling.” The Grand Slam events are separate from the Curl Canada events, such as the Brier and the Scotties. “It’s going to be a great event for the city,” he said. “Even with just 20 teams, each team has

a minimum of six, probably more. They all need hotels, they all need to eat. Then of course all the media people that are going to be here. There’s going to be hundreds of people coming in just for that. They’ll be here for a week and

will need a lot of business services here in Cranbrook.” Brock said the Grand Slams have been going on for a few years now and are put on by Sportsnet. Part of the reasoning behind putting in a bid has to do with Sportsnet increasing the number of Grand Slams in the coming years. “They had six before and now they are going to go with eight,” he explained. Brock said the Grand Slams typically have $100,000 prize pools. The Cranbrook Curling Club sent a letter to council, included in the April 27 regular meeting agenda, which noted the club’s board of directors had unanimously agreed to guarantee up to $90,0000 of the $150,000 fee required to host the event. Under the current proposal, the city would cover the other $60,000. “The board understands that previous Grand Slam Curling

events have been profitable for the hosting organization and we would propose that the Curling Club and the City share equally in the financial returns of this event,” the letter read. “Therefore, based on previous event results, we would anticipate that both parties should receive their initial investment back and probably earn a profit from this event.” The board also wrote that in addition to the financial aspects, the city would receive national and international television coverage promoting the city as a great place to visit or to

do business. The board said the event would also bring a large number of participants and fans who would require the facilities and services of local businesses which would be a major benefit for the local business community. The board of directors also noted curling club members would form a local organizing committee to oversee the various tasks for the event, such as opening/ closing ceremonies, ice crews, on-ice officials, program sellers, set-up and tear down and other responsibilities.

Invasive Plants – Are non-native species that have been introduced to an area, with the potential to cause significant negative impacts. These weeds grow and reproduce rapidly, outcompeting with native vegetation. Some examples of invasive weeds in the Kimberley area include Blueweed, Japanese Knotweed, and Spotted Knapweed. Provincial legislation requires all land owners and occupiers to control invasive weeds on their property. It is important to understand how to best manage these plants as there are several options including pulling, mowing, and herbicide. The City of Kimberley contracts licensed pesticide applicators to manage weed populations where treatment will be most effective. Please see the ‘City of Kimberley Pesticide Bylaw No. 2381, 2009’ at www.kimberley.ca/ city/bylaws.

New deputy sheriff coming to Cranbrook Tr e vo r C r awl ey

Cranbrook will be getting another deputy sheriff as a fresh graduation class from the Justice Institute of B.C. will be deployed to communities across the province. A dozen deputy sheriffs will be assigned to B.C. courthouses in Prince George, Fort St. John, Quesnel, Kamloops, Terrace, Williams Lake, Dawson Creek and Vernon, along with the local law courts in Cranbrook. One recruit will be based in New Westminster and will serve several courthouses in the Lower Mainland. The new deputy sheriff will complement a staff of four existing deputy sheriffs and a staff sergeant and will begin courthouse duties on June 1st, 2015. “We are very pleased to welcome this promising new group of peace

daily townsman / daily bulletin

officers into B.C.’s courthouses,” said Chief Sheriff Paul Corrado. “Their role is a challenging one, and is integral to the smooth functioning of our court system. I am confident that their work will benefit British Columbians for years to come.” According to the Ministry of Justice, there are enough sheriffs to meet the needs of B.C. courthouses and that deputy sheriffs are recruited and trained on a regular basis to replace retiring or outgoing sheriffs. Graduates are specifically trained to uphold the security of courthouses and the safety of court users and are coming out of a 16week program at the Justice Institute of B.C., which includes in-class and field training at courthouses. Sheriffs are primarily responsible for prisoner

escorts between courthouses, correctional centres and police lockup facilities; courthouse and courtroom security, including the management of lock-up facilities; providing protection services to government as well as threat assessment to ministries. There are approximately 495 sheriffs deployed throughout the province. “B.C. sheriffs provide a critical service for every British Columbian who is involved with the courts and I congratulate this graduating class of new recruits,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice. “I know that they will make significant contributions to public safety and I wish them long and successful careers with the B.C. Sheriff Services.”

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Beauty and the Beast I just finished two weeks of rehearsals and shows with a talented group of young people. Selkirk schools Beauty and the Beast was an incredible display of talent, dedication, humour, fun and commitment from kids aged 9 – 17. It was an hounour for me to be a part of it. So imagine my dismay when on opening night an audience member walked out declaring our production ‘disgusting’. I learned the next day that this individual took offense to a female actress , who played a male character, feminizing the role. Coming from the UK I am used to gender roles being switched in theatre. It is a long time tradition, as well as interpretive license often used in Shakespeare plays. With Ireland (a most Catholic of countries!) now embracing gay marriage, and my 10 years olds take on Beauty and the Beast being “a modern twist on a classic tale” I was shocked and saddened. The Kimberley I know loves diversity, embraces change and new ideas. I’ve lived in Kimberley for 26 years and last week I was ashamed to live in a narrow minded small town. Rebecca White Kimberley

Money, democracy and citizenship Pre-election spending by federal political parties is at the highest level in Canadian history. The biggest spender of unaccountable money to buy your electoral favour is the Conservative Party, but they are not alone in this subversion of the spirit of Elections Canada spending regulations. Why does this matter? In Canada, money is not supposed to be the determinant of political influence – that’s why the Chief Electoral Officer and Elections Canada are supposed to regulate party spending. But by spending before the election is called – when the “writ is dropped” – parties are able to avoid being accountable to Elections Canada.

“This makes the period before the election a money-spending free-for-all for the manipulation of voters,” said Robert MacDermid, a political scientist at York University in Toronto who specializes in political party financing” (Fekete, National Post online at http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/orgy-of-spending-expected-in-lead-up-to-federalelection-as-political-parties-stockpile-tens-of-millions, November 10, 2014). Once the election is called, partisan spending is regulated. In theory, democracy is not for sale. But in practice, maybe it is, when parties and the fixed election law combine to put us into a permanent electoral campaign. The price is a loss of democratic integrity. Elected politicians are less likely to attend to citizen concerns, preoccupied as they are with the perpetual campaign. MPs are also closely disciplined by their parties – they are unable or unwilling to defend positions contrary to those taken by their leaders, much less represent the diversity of interests in the ridings. Talk about trained seals. Meanwhile, citizens are tuning out in droves, tired of the incessant ads which are often negative, manipulative, and devoid of solid information. Along with our crappy plurality electoral system and its unrepresentative outcomes, this undermines democratic engagement. Fewer voters mean less democratic legitimacy for our governments. It also means fewer citizens give a damn – which is the death knell for a democratic system of government. Finally, citizen apathy leaves politics open to abuse of power, even to tyranny. Revitalizing democracy means citizens have to take responsibility for knowing the issues well and speaking out about important matters that affect all of us. Democracy takes effort. It’s time for citizens to tune out the ads, tune into public policy issues, and turn up the heat on our elected representatives to, well, represent us, in all our political diversity. Or be replaced by people who will. Joyce Green Cranbrook

Beauty and the beast of intolerance

ers who worked so hard and gave their hearts and souls to the yearly musical production. There was no attempt here to make a political statement here, simply an attempt to work around a reality. There are far more girls than boys interested in taking parts in the school musical. Not that there haven’t been some great male voices in various productions over the years, but this year they were short. So the decision was made to play the role in a different way. That’s how it all came about. No agenda, no political statement, just a small school trying to present a musical with a limited number of students. How disappointing for them to be subjected to this kind of narrow-minded reaction. How unfair to have the joy of pulling off a successful opening night marred by hatred and yes, ignorance. To the woman who stormed out and called our office, I can only say I hope your righteous indignation gave you some pleasure, because it sure made a lot of kids feel bad. To the students of Selkirk and McKim, this one person’s view is not representative of an entire community. Above all, keep on singing. Carolyn Grant is the Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

NOISES OFF

An auditory world revealed “When one tugs at a single thing in nature he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” John Muir “Our world must have been an incredibly quiet place before life evolved; nothing but the wind, and maybe, some rushing water but with no ears to hear them.” Jean Mabel Alexander

uring my last check-up and after she had ascertained that my heart was still vaguely active and memory not completely dissipated, my doctor asked me if my hearing might be fading. I assured her that it was perfect but she insisted on asking so politely, “Why is it, when I am talking to you that you frown and say ‘eh?’ all the time?” So I had a wax-job and it is amazing how much more I can hear these days. Oh, no! I don’t mean the sound of distant trains working way over the other side of the city nor the screams of ambulances and fire-trucks — I’ve always been able to hear those noises. I’ve even enjoyed the disembodied voice of my neighbour lady talking on her cell phone while her husband grumbles something or other about the damn dandelions or some city council decision.

No, it is the sounds of nature that are becoming daily more audible. Some cynics don’t believe me but, in the very early hours before I actually get up I often hear the deer on my lawn ‘chewing the rag’ about whatever it is that they do go on about before decent people are arisen. I think I can now detect the different accents that mulies and white-tail use. And, of course there are the crows, ravens and blue-jays kicking up a ruckus and the odd-ball woodpecker hammering away on my metal chimney, trying to entice a lady, any lady. These days the diminutive humming birds sound to me like helicopters when they hang around the feeder while, in the shelter of the cherry trees, the din of the chickadees and the nut-hatches can be deafening. It’s difficult to doze in a Peter deck-chair out there; it can like an aerial dogWarland sound fight. Bird song? It’s a racket. In one of my favourite books the authors talk about the sounds (or lack of) that must have assailed the ears of Europeans a thousand years ago. Apart from the distant ‘clunk’ of a mill grinding flour and the chatter of a waterwheel driving the machine, the countryside would have been devoid of sound but for the buzz of insects in the hedge-rows or maybe the wind soughing in the pines or whispering in the grasses.

As an aside, I just have to mention an alarming time at Whiteswan Lake when, whilst walking my young son and packing my baby daughter on my back, I was convinced that we were about to be attacked by something very fierce. The growling from the forest was scary. Our dog, however, was completely unflustered, so my hair settled back into its correct places on my scalp as common sense took over. The hideous growls were from branches tossed by the wind and rubbing against each other, but you could have fooled me. It can be the same today — not the scary bit — if a person can get far enough away from so-called civilization. But, even though I live in town, despite overhead jets, roaring lawn-mowers, ambulances and fire-trucks, I can now hear the insidious buzz in my hedge-rows. My carefully cultivated catoneaster hedge is aroar with the crunchy sounds of insects eating the leaves and each other, or being eaten themselves by ravenous birds of assorted tribes while the almost feral local cats hunt the birds. In fact, nature is extremely busy, everything eating something else, noisily. The whole point of life is to eat, survive and reproduce. That wood-louse family that has been working on the woodwork of my house now for forty years, for example, is now, quite close to me as I type, using a chain-saw. I reckon I shall be forced to borrow earplugs before the summer is over.

Memorial Cup crunch time in Quebec City WHL-champion Kelowna Rockets banking on semifinal date Friday evening

Townsman Staff

The Kelowna Rockets wrapped round-robin play at the 2015 MasterCard Memorial Cup with a 1-2 record following a 2-1 loss to the Oshawa Generals Tuesday evening in Quebec City. For the WHL-champion Rockets, the loss leaves their fate in the hands of the Rimouski Oceanic (0-2) and Quebec Remparts (1-1), albeit odds play in favour of Kelowna advancing to the semifinal Friday night. The two QMJHL squads face-off in the final game of round-robin play Wednesday night (results unavailable by press time). Should the Oceanic defeat the Remparts by a margin of eight goals or more, the Rockets will be eliminated from

Memorial Cup contention and the two QMJHL squads will meet in the semifinal. Should the Oceanic defeat the Remparts by a margin of seven goals or less, the Rockets advance to the semifinal while the Oceanic and Remparts meet in a tie-breaker game Thursday. Should the Remparts defeat the Oceanic by any margin, they will advance to face the Rockets in Friday’s semifinal. Kelowna’s one win to date at the 2015 MasterCard Memorial Cup came in a 7-3 decisions over the Rimouski Oceanic on Monday. The Rockets opened the tournament with a 4-3 setback to the host Remparts before being edged out by the Generals Tuesday.

Rockets forward Nick Merkley, a projected first-round pick at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, leads the entire tournament in scoring with three goals and five points through three games. Generals forward Michael Dal Colle, a 2014 first-round selection of the NHL’s New York Islanders, sits in a tie with Merkley (2-3-5). Rockets goaltender Jackson Whistle has recored a 2.69 goalsagainst average, along with a .911 save percentage through three games. The 2015 MasterCard Memorial Cup semifinal is scheduled for Friday, May 29 at 5:30 p.m. (Mountain). The 2015 MasterCard Memorial Cup final will be played on Sunday, May 31 at 5 p.m. (Mountain).

FIFA soccer officials arrested in U.S. corruption probe ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZURICH - The U.S. government launched a corruption attack on soccer’s global governing body Wednesday, pulling FIFA executives out of a luxury Zurich hotel to face racketeering charges and raiding regional offices in Miami. Swiss officials also invaded FIFA headquarters, seizing records and computers to investigate whether the decisions to award World Cups to Russia and Qatar were rigged. Scandals and rumours of corruption have dogged FIFA throughout the 17-year reign of its president, Sepp Blatter, but he was not named in either investigation. He is scheduled to stand Friday for re-election to fifth term, and the organization said the vote would go ahead as planned, despite the latest turmoil. FIFA also ruled out a revote of the World Cup bids won by Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022. “We welcome the actions and the investiga-

tions by the U.S. and Swiss authorities and believe that it will help to reinforce measures that FIFA has already taken to root out any wrongdoing in football,” Blatter said in a statement. The organization said it was co-operating fully with the investigation. Former soccer great Diego Maradona said he had been complaining about corruption in FIFA for years. “I was treated like a crazy person,” he told radio station Radio La Red in Buenos Aires. “Now the FBI has told the truth.” Former Brazilian star Romario, an outspoken FIFA critic, said “someone had to eventually arrest them one day.” Authorities conducted early morning raids in Zurich at FIFA headquarters and the fivestar Baur au Lac Hotel downtown in the investigations. In Miami, FBI and IRS agents carried computers and boxes out of the headquarters of CONCACAF, the governing body of North and Central America and the Caribbean,

whose past and current presidents were among 14 defendants under indictment for corruption. Swiss police arrested seven soccer official at the request of American prosecutors and threatened them with extradition to the U.S. Four other soccer and marketing officials agreed to plead guilty. “Beginning in 1991, two generations of soccer officials ... used their positions of trust within their respective organizations to solicit bribes from sports marketers in exchange for the commercial rights to their soccer tournaments,” U.S. Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said at a news conference in New York. “They did this over and over, year after year, tournament after tournament.” U.S. prosecutors said they will seek forfeiture of more than $151 million the government alleges was illegally obtained. They said the indictments represented only the beginning of their efforts. Richard Weber, head

of the IRS Criminal Division, called the case “the World Cup of fraud.” Two current FIFA vice-presidents were among those arrested and indicted, Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands and Eugenio Figueredo of Uruguay, the Justice Department said. The others are Eduardo Li of Costa Rica, Julio Rocha of Nicaragua, Costas Takkas of Britain, Rafael Esquivel of Venezuela and Jose Maria Marin of Brazil. All seven are connected with the regional confederations of North and South America and face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. FIFA suspended 11 people, including Webb and Figueredo, from all soccer-related activities following the U.S. announcement. Webb called himself a reformer when he was elected as CONCACAF president in 2012 to replace Jack Warner, who also was named in the indictment.

Ice overage jam thins Chynoweth & Hackman expected to move on in 2015-16

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The 20-year-old logjam just got a little less congested for the Kootenay Ice. Jeff Chynoweth, Kootenay Ice president and general manager, revealed Tuesday morning that forward Ryan Chynoweth and defenceman Lenny Hackman are not expected to return to the club for the 2015-16 season. According to Chynoweth, his son Ryan is expected to move along to play Junior ‘A’ hockey, while Hackman is anticipated to go to school in the fall. At the conclusion of the 201415 WHL season, the Kootenay Ice active roster contained a total of 11 players set to be 20-year-old WHL overagers. Heading into the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, Chynoweth expressed the opinion that the market for 20-year-olds was going to be tough for sellers this summer, as most teams around the league are caught with an abundance of 1995-born players. He reiterated that point Tuesday. “I think it will take time and I don’t expect anything to happen

over the summer months,” Chynoweth said. “But you never know.” WHL clubs are permitted to carry a maximum of three 20-yearold players beyond Oct. 16.

Forward Sam Reinhart and defenceman Rinat Valiev are also expected to move on from the Kootenay Ice ahead of the 201516 campaign, leaving seven 1995born players to fill three slots. “We’ll start the season with the seven 20-year-olds coming back,” Chynoweth said. “Then we’ll make a decision from there.” Reinhart is expected to graduate to the professional ranks within the Buffalo Sabres’ organization, while Valiev is expected to join the Toronto Maple Leafs organization.

Left to compete for the three overage slots are forwards Jaedon Descheneau, Jon Martin and Luke Philp, defencemen Tanner Lishchynsky, Tyler King and Tanner Faith, as well as goaltender Wyatt Hoflin. In 220 career WHL games scattered between the Ice, Tri-City Americans and Everett Silvertips, Ryan Chynoweth amassed 12 goals and 39 points along with 200 minutes in penalties. During the 2014-15 campaign, the 6-foot-1 left-winger tallied five goals, 12 assists and 17 points for the Ice -- all of which were career highs. He was acquired by the Ice from the Americans on Sept. 25, 2013, in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the WHL Bantam Draft. Hackman skated in 206 career WHL games over a span of three seasons, spent largely with the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The 5-foot-9 native of Airdrie, Alta., was acquired by the Ice from the Hurricanes on Jan. 8, 2015, in exchange for a 12th-round pick in the WHL Bantam Draft. Hackman tallied four goals and 24 points over the course of his WHL career.

IRS calls FIFA corruption scandal ‘World Cup of fraud’ Continued from page 9 Prosecutors alleged that part of the bribe money directed to Webb was transferred to the account of a contractor building a swimming pool at Webb’s home in Loganville, Georgia. The seven arrested are connected with CONCACAF or CONMEBOL, South America’s governing body. Each faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. The Swiss justice ministry said six of the seven officials arrested oppose extradition to the United States, adding that U.S. authorities now have 40 days to submit the formal extradition request. One of those detained, who was unidentified, agreed to “a simplified extradition procedure,” meaning he can be sent to the U.S. in the coming days. Four men indicted are sports marketing executives and another works in broadcasting. Jack Warner, a former FIFA vice-president from Trinidad and Tobago, was among the indicted. The Justice Department cited bribes and kickbacks involving media rights deals involving World Cup qualifying matches in the Caribbean and Central America, the Copa

America - South America’s continental championship - plus the CONCACAF Gold Cup and Champions League. Prosecutors said CONMEBOL reached an agreement in 2013 with a new company, Datisa, on a $240 million contract for rights to the Copa America in 2015, 2019 and 2023, and the following year to a $112.5 million deal for the 2016 Copa America Centenario in the U.S. As part of the deals, prosecutors said Datisa agreed to pay $110 million in bribes to South American soccer officials. U.S. prosecutors said they had uncovered a dozen different schemes, including $10 million in payments from a FIFA account in Switzerland to an account in New York for credit to an account controlled by Warner. South Africa, with the backing of Nelson Mandela, beat rival bids from Morocco and Egypt to host the tournament in 2010, four years after narrowly losing out to Germany for the previous tournament. The Swiss prosecutors’ office said the U.S. probe was separate from its investigation but that authorities were working together.

The votes to award the World Cups to Russia and Qatar have been surrounded in controversy and accusations of corruption. The Swiss prosecutors’ office said in a statement it seized “electronic data and documents” at FIFA’s headquarters Wednesday as part of the probe. Swiss police said they will question 10 FIFA executive committee members who took part in the World Cup votes in December 2010. The Swiss investigation against “persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering” again throws into doubt the integrity of the voting. Qatar, a Gulf nation with little soccer tradition, was criticized from the start for its extreme summer heat. FIFA has since been forced to move the tournament to November-December instead of the usual June-July time slot. FIFA hired former U.S. attorney Michael Garcia to investigate the 2018 and 2022 bid process. Findings were never fully released and both Russia and Qatar were confirmed as hosts. Garcia’s full report was turned over to Swiss authorities in November,

prompting Wednesday’s raid on FIFA. Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko, also a FIFA executive committee member, told The Associated Press “we’ve got nothing to hide.” Qatari soccer officials declined to comment. Hundreds of soccer officials are in Switzerland for the FIFA congress, where Blatter is widely expected to win re-election. But European football’s governing body, known as UEFA, said the election should be postponed and that it would consider boycotting this week’s FIFA congress following the arrests. UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino said the corruption investigations into FIFA “tarnish the image of football as a whole.” In a sign of the loyalty that Blatter enjoys, however, the 46voter Asian Football Confederation said it opposed a delay and repeated its support for the 79-year-old president. Blatter had been scheduled to attend a meeting of the Confederation of African Football in a different Zurich hotel, but cancelled. He later cancelled plans to attend a meeting of the South American confederation.

Blatter’s only opponent in Friday’s election, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, seized the situation to push candidacy. “We cannot continue with the crisis in FIFA, a crisis that has been ongoing and is not just relevant to the events of today,” Prince Ali said. “FIFA needs leadership that governs, guides and protects our national associations. ... Leadership that restores confidence in the hundreds of millions of football fans around the world.” In Florida, a small group of agents from the FBI and IRS executed search warrants at CONCACAF headquarters in Miami Beach. Neither agency offered comment on the investigation. CONCACAF reported itself to U.S. tax authorities in 2012. Then based in New York, the organization had not paid taxes over several years when its president was Warner and secretary general was Chuck Blazer of the United States.

AP Sports Writer Rob Harris, Associated Press writer Frank Jordans in Zurich, AP Sports Writer Ronald Blum in New York and Associated Press writer Curt Anderson in Miami contributed to this report.

Prairie Duo Delivers the Blues Live at Studio 64

Review of Blue Moon Marquee in Studio 64, May 23 M IK E RE D FERN

Last Saturday night at Kimberley’s Studio 64 an almost full house rose to their feet to applaud a performance by the blues duo, Blue Moon Marquee, that was steeped in the 12bar blues tradition of the 1920s and 30s, blues with a ragtime flavour, blues that told old stories about whisky, women, and the working life. A.W. Cardinal on lead vocals and electric

guitar belted out familiar lines like “I’m going down that old lonesome road”, familiar lines but couched, for the most part, in original songs sung in a deep, gravelly voice reminiscent of Tom Waits. Looking like a gamine waif compared to Cardinal’s tall, burly figure in black suit and Hutterite hat, Jasmine Colette in plaid shirt and jeans all but danced on her tall stool as she delivered the rhythmic

accompaniment on upright bass, drums and high hat, occasionally contributing her lighter voice to harmonize on chorus lines and, a couple of times during the night, leading on songs of her own composition that were slower and gentler in style. Hailing from Rocky Mountain House, the duo described their music as “screamin’ and hollerin’ gypsy blues”. Certainly they were hollering. Cardi-

nal’s raspy voice was loud enough to be heard in far larger auditoriums than the intimate Studio 64 cabaret. While their program was composed mainly of original compositions by Cardinal and Colette, included was Moon Mullican’s “Pipeline Blues”, a reference to their Alberta origins, and one of this reviewer’s favourite numbers of the night. The concert was a fitting close to the Live at Studio 64 spring series that included the Lovebullies and Guy Davis.

Mezzo-soprano takes stage at Knox concert SUBMIT TED

Mezzo-soprano Amanda Weatherall of Cranbrook will sing on Saturday, May 30 at 7 pm as one of this splendid company. Her voice concert will be at Knox Presbyterian Church, Corner of 3rd Avenue South and Victoria Drive in Cranbrook. Admission is by donation to raise funds for her studies in Italy this summer. The East Kootenay region is fertile ground for voice students. In Cranbrook Amanda took to the stage in its 2009 Anything Goes production. Later at Fort Steele, she played the historical figure Miss Lillian Tannhauser. Her other theatrical credits include: Beauty and the Beast, Tim Rice’s Aida, Seussical the musical, and Footloose. A past student of area teacher Chuck Bisset,

AMANDA WEATHERALL Amanda will be joined by special guest Mary Pickering. The pianist, Arne Sahlen, raves about both Amanda’s

gifts and the amazing richness of our young singing talent. “Amanda’s glorious voice and striking presence will

thrill you,” he says. “She is a fine young ambassador for the drama and passion of voice, and one among dozens of opera and musical theatre students. We can feel rightly proud as they grace local stages or excel in advanced training elsewhere, thanks in large part to our many fine singing teachers.” In fact, Canada itself has a strong, proud international voice tradition of great teachers and top-flight vocal schooling. Along with University productions, Amanda just finished a Canadian Operatic Arts Academy professional development program. At Italy’s Accademia Europea Dell’Opera this summer, she will take on her first full operatic role. For more concert information, contact arnesahlen@hotmail. com or 250-540-4242.

B.B. King’s daughters accuse close aides of poisoning him ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS - Two B.B. King heirs who’ve been most outspoken about the blues legend’s final days are accusing King’s two closest aides of poisoning him. Daughters Karen Williams and Patty King allege in documents provided by their lawyer to The Associated Press that King’s business manager, LaVerne Toney, and his personal assistant, Myron Johnson, killed their father.

Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg said Monday that an autopsy was performed Sunday on King’s embalmed body, and test results will take up to eight weeks. Las Vegas police Lt. Ray Steiber confirmed that homicide detectives are investigating. The coroner says King’s body has been returned to a mortuary, and the investigation shouldn’t delay planned memorials this week.

Atwood manuscript won’t be read for 100 years C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Canadian literature legend Margaret Atwood has submitted an unread, unpublished manuscript to a project that will keep the work under wraps for the next century. The Toronto-based Man Booker Prize winner is the first author to hand over a piece to the Future Library in Oslo.

The Good Ol’ Goats once again proudly reappear in the local arts-culture spotlight this coming Sunday May 31st at the Key City Theatre, with an opening set in support of Toronto’s rising titans the Great Lake Swimmers. For the past few years, the Goats have made a growing nationwide splash for themselves with their unique and winning style of upbeat folk-rock, and are one of the finest artistic exports Cranbrook has ever produced. Pictured above (L-R): Nolan Ackert (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Joelle Winkel (harmony vocals), Julian Bueckert (drums, percussion), Clayton Parsons (lead & slide guitar, vocals), Danica Martin (keyboards, trumpet, vocals), a coyote (not actually a fulltime bandmember), and Theo Moore (bass, vocals). For all your goatlike needs, please visit www.goodolgoats.com.

The international project will see one writer contribute a new, unread text to the collection every year for the next 100 years. In 2114, 1,000 trees planted for the project just outside Oslo will be cut down to provide paper for the publication of the texts. The manuscripts will be stored in a specially designed room in an Oslo public library.

Festival celebrating 50 years of electric Bob Dylan ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEWPORT, R.I. - This year’s Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island plans to pay tribute to the moment when Bob Dylan made rock history by going electric 50 years ago. The festival will have a secret lineup of musicians billed as ‘65 Revisited.

Festival producer Jay Sweet on Tuesday called it an “all-star lineup” of nearly a dozen contemporary artists celebrating Dylan’s 1965 performance. It will close out the three-day festival, which runs July 24-26. Dylan is not playing. But Sweet says he’s invited to play every year.

Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel takes an close-up look at the Oceania experience

ecently, Janice and I were invited to Vancouver for a wonderful two-day experience with Oceania Cruises. We were wined and dined, both on Oceania’s ms Regatta, and in the beautiful Hawksworth Restaurant in the Rosewood Georgian Court. We got to experience a little bit of luxury ourselves! Oceania Cruises has carved a unique niche for themselves. They are a young cruise line, just over 10 years old. It was founded in 2002 by two cruise line industry

Oceania Cruises’ ms Regatta. veterans and is based in Miami Florida. Recently, the company was purchased by Norwegian Cruise Line, but the brand will continue to operate independently. Oceania has five ships with one more to be added in 2016. The ships are mid size, maximum of 1,250 guests, with a ratio of two crew to every three guests. The sixth ship is the former Ocean Princess, which will undergo a $40 million refurbishment and become the ms Sirena. The cruise line has positioned themselves between the higher end categories of contemporary cruise lines (Princess, Celebrity, Holland

America), and the 6-star high priced cruise lines (Regent, Crystal, Silversea, Seabourn), filling a niche that appeals to discerning, sophisticated travellers in search of an enriching experience without draining the bank account. Onboard, the experience is country club casual – no formal nights or fancy dress required – with meticulous attention to detail – high end amenities, finest cuisine at sea (Master Chef Jacques Pepin designs the menus), rewarding cultural experiences, and smaller off the beaten track ports. Often the itinerary provides overnights in these ports. Children are welcome,

but not encouraged, as there are no childrens facilities or programs aboard. These cruises are semi-inclusive. Many include airfare, no surcharge specialty restaurants, a real hands on culinary school program, and free internet for higher category staterooms. Shore excursions are not included, but there is a bundle available for purchase to allow unlimited tours for you. Alcohol is not included either, but there are beverage packages available. Janice and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon aboard the ms Regatta, touring staterooms, viewing the facil-

ities, talking to the crew, but the most amazing part was the five-course lunch with wine! Everything from caviar to chocolate mousse - it was all exquisitely prepared and exploding with taste!

For more information, call Carla Nelson, Branch Manager or Janice Frioult, Branch Partner at Maritime Travel in Cranbrook. We’d be happy to introduce you to the best value in upscale cruising with Oceania Cruises. And for those of you who wish to remain on land, try Hawksworth, it’s upscale and fine dining to match the Oceania experience.

diagnosed with A.L.S. at age 49 and died four short years later. Their good friend Rhonda Graw was diagnosed in 2012 with the disease and it has already robbed her of most of her physical strength, though her mental toughness and sense of humour remain. The Boutilier’s have already contributed $12,000 to the ALS Society of B.C. with a series of fundraisers, but would like their Cruisin’ Canada campaign to do significantly better.

This agreement restricts Canadian lumber exports to the US when lumber prices drop to a speciﬁed level, in return for certainty of access to US markets for Canadian lumber. The agreement has been good for both countries, but expires in October, 2015 and the US does not intend to renew the agreement.

BC produces over half the softwood lumber produced in Canada. BC’s forest industry provides thousands of family-supporting jobs in our communities. BC is standing up for these forestry jobs but we need the Government of Canada to lobby hard with us. BC’s reliance on the US is one third of what it was in 2003, because of the work BC has done in developing Asian markets. However, the value of softwood lumber exports to the US still totalled $3 billion in 2014, so this is a very important issue for BC and for Canada.

It’s not your routine summer vacation. Dianne and Mark Boutilier are crossing Canada in their 1953 GMC pickup to raise money for the ALS Society. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, sometimes better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a devastating, fatal, neurological illness. June is National ALS Awareness Month in Canada, so on June 1 the Abbotsford couple will set off in their spiffy vintage automobile with their sights set on Atlantic Canada. Their itinerary will take them across the Prairies, through Ontario and on to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and P.E.I. Stops have been coordinated with over 20 events... car shows & A.L.S. events. They plan to be back in Abbotsford on July 4. And the intrepid couple will be making a stop in Cranbrook, Tuesday, June 2. The Rockin’ in the Rockies Car Club and the East Kootenay Antique and Classic Car Club will be hosting the Boutiliers at a special gathering on Tuesday, June 2, at the Save-On parking lot in Cranbrook. The public is invited to attend, meet Dianne and Mark, and help support the ALS Society. All funds donated in B.C. stay in B.C. The gathering takes place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dianne and Mark know first-hand the toll that ALS takes on its victims and their loved ones.

features It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of May 24 - 30 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1902 The Fernie disaster ... Last Thursday night an explosion occurred in the Crows Nest Pass Coal company’s mines at Fernie which resulted in the death of from 150 to 175 miners. The magnitude of the disaster was so appalling that those living here in the same district were paralyzed when the terrible news was flashed across the wire. At 7:30 that night nearly 200 men were laboring in No. 2 shaft of the mine, unmindful of the near approach of danger. Two minutes later a thunderous roar was heard, the mountains about Fernie trembled, and more than 150 human lives were sniffed out like the snuffing of a candle. There was no warning of danger; the first intimation was a silent but remorseless death. There was no opportunity for escape, no chance to fight for one’s life, no time to plead for mercy or make peace with God. Death came quickly. There was no torture, either mental or physical, to the great majority. With picks in their grasp, or hands on their drills, the men dropped unconscious, and death came with the concussion or the after damp without a wail of sorrow or cry of pain. But a disaster of that kind means sorrow and suffering for the living. It means many widows, many fatherless children, many homes bereft of their mainstay and support. And that is the case in Fernie today. There are few doors in the long rows of miner’s cottages that are not darkened by folds of crepe, and few eyes in these homes that are not bedimmed with tears shed for loved ones buried in the chaos and darkness of the wrecked tunnel. A Cranbrook boy’s escape ... Bruce Stewart, a former employee of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, and the victim of small pox last year, was employed in the fatal shift, but fortunately was called out to the mouth of the tunnel a few moments before the explosion for repairs for the motor in his charge. As a consequence he escaped all injury. An invitation … Ladies between 25 and 40 years of age could find comfortable homes among the single ranchers around here. For sale … George Badderly says his string of buckskins is too swift for ranching and will offer some for sale to the Cranbrook fire brigade. Hot ball game ... This evening there will be a warm ball game at the Athletic grounds. J P. Fink will head the business men and G. P. Thompson the professionals. It is said that the game will last until the umpire is killed. Who will have the courage to accept that position is not yet known, but some brave man will be found. Kootenay cruise … The steamer North Star will take an excursion from Wardner to Fort Steele tomorrow, leaving Wardner at 7 p. m. A dance will be given at Fort Steele Friday night. This will probably be the last river excursion. Get in line. Fare: Gents, $5. Ladies, $3 Held up … The Pirates of Penzance were held up at Frank by the condition of the road and had to cancel their dates at Fernie and Cranbrook. The advance sale in Cranbrook had been unusually large and

the company would have had a large house if they had been able to have got through. Presentation … John Gillis was recently presented a Morris chair by the Sunday school teachers of the Presbyterian church as a token of good feeling for his past services as superintendent and efficient work as secretary-treasurer. The presentation took place at Rev. Fortune’s home and a very pleasant evening followed. 1903 No liquor … Father Coccolo returned this week from an extended trip including Slocan city, Spokane and the new towns along the line of construction of the Great Northern cut off in Montana. He says that owing to the intense rivalry between the towns, there has been considerable trouble, and that in consequence the state authorities propose to enforce the law which prohibits the sale of liquor within two and a half miles of construction. This will be a knockout blow to the numerous places opened up in that section. The minstrel show ... The minstrel entertainment given by the East Kootenay minstrels, an organization formed by the carmen of Cranbrook, was a decided success. The program was interesting, and the boys kept the large audience laughing with their jokes and antics. The singing was good, displaying some excellent voices. A. Black and T. Howse, as end men, were a success, while the solos of B. Abbott, W. Hyder and D. Anderson brought forth all kinds of applause. The singing of Jack and A. Crossman, the little chaps, aroused the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. The entertainment was brought to a close with some hypnotic work by D. Anderson, which was well done, but, prolonged too much, as many present did not care for that particular feature. Considering the fact that the boys are all amateurs, they gave a creditable entertainment. The money made will be used in the organization of a lodge in this town. A great piece of work ... Last Friday the first train was run over the slide at Frank and the work that at first was thought to be impossible inside of two to three months, was completed, within three weeks and two days from the time the accident happened. The C. P. R. placed the work in the hands of Breckenridge & Lund, the wellknown contractors, with instructions that time and not money the important point. John Breckenridge was in charge, and the manner in which the work was done is evidence of the way that firm does business. The work was pushed early and late, and as a result, instead of traffic being blockaded for several months, only a few weeks elapsed. There are few contractors that could have accomplished this work in such a short time, and it is no wonder that the C. P. R. is feeling jubilant over the results. Victoria Day observed ... Monday was a holiday, and in Cranbrook it was universally observed. The lacrosse boys were in Lethbridge, about thirty joined the excursion to Frank, while many formed picnic parties and visited Perry Creek, the Mission, Fort Steele and the Wild Horse, while the rest celebrated the day under their own vine and fig tree. Every business house was closed, and the town was like a deserted village. It was a pleasant day and everybody had a good time. Rising fast … The Kootenay River is rapidly rising. At Fort Steele the river has

come up three feet during the past week. The rise at present is almost entirely from the St. Mary’s River.

In place … The East Kootenay Placer Company have their steam shovel on Perry Creek in shape for work, and active operations will begin this week. It will take some days to get everything in good working order, but they don’t anticipate any serious trouble after this is done. There is a vast amount of interest felt in this experiment and if it proves a success, the steam shovel will become a potent factor in placer mining in South East Kootenay.

High praise … Hurrah for the British Columbia government! A whole week has passed by and no new scandal brought to light.

Coming up … There are several weddings on the slate for next month.

Ow! That hurts … John Fink strained the muscles of his back while lifting a box last week, and is walking around like an old man in consequence.

Across the slide ... Superintendent Taylor and wife returned from Frank last Friday, where Mr. Taylor has been since the slide superintending the work of constructing the new track over the damaged valley. He was burned to a butternut brown, showing the effects of wind and sun, and was thoroughly tired out, as it has been a long, hard strain. The work was in direct charge of John Breckinridge, of Breckinridge & Lund, who make a great record in rapid railroad building, and furnished a track across the slide a month or six weeks before it was thought possible when the work was inaugurated. No money was spared and an unlimited number of men were employed. The railway company wanted the job finished, and it was.

Picture men were here ... A number of people in Cranbrook had an experience with a couple of fresh guys with white vests who were working the old picture game on the public. It is the old story of enlarging a picture for nothing and selling the owner a cheap frame for a big price. The two individuals referred to had trouble with a number of ladies, and finally left. They did considerable business, however. As long as the human race lives, just so long will games of this kind be worked. Anyone who gave an order to have a picture enlarged could have gone to Mrs. Prest, who would have sent it to a reliable house and left it to the purchaser’s own judgment as to a frame.

Don’t worry … Don’t be afraid of a shortage in the food supply in Cranbrook because of blockade of the railway at Frank, for we have added to our heavy stock a car of choice groceries, and are prepared to supply the wants of any appetite with anything from G. B. chocolates to salt cod fish. King Mercantile Co.

Cosmopolitan Hotel … Centrally situated. Every modern convenience. Bright and well lighted sample rooms, 30 feet long. Sitting and reading room reserved exclusively for commercials and their friends. Spacious and newly furnished bedrooms. Best appointed dining room in the district. The cuisine and bar noted for quality and variety.

Create Your Own Angelic Aura Sprays Hi Wendy: Just wanted to email you and tell you how much I like your column. I was reading one of your columns that talks about a persons aura. Can you tell me if my aura is clear and what colours it has in it? If I do have a muddy aura how can I clean it and keep it clean? I also was wondering if you see my daughter coming home to live with us in the summer? I have been reading a lot of books that you have recommended over the years in your columns. I find them interesting and the information has changed my attitude and direction in my life in a few areas. I want to thank you and your guides for the information in your weekly columns. When your column comes out I phone my daughter and sometimes we have great talks about certain columns you have written. So thanks to you and your guides and I look forward to hearing from you. Opening Up

Dear Opening Up: My guides and I would like to thank you for all the great compliments that you have bestowed upon us this day and are happy you and your daughter enjoy our columns. Yes, your daughter will be coming home to stay with you this summer. I think you both have a wonderful relationship; you are blessed for sure to have such a nice girl. When I hear from my readers the wonderful relationships they have with their children it fills my heart with joy. I can’t tell you at this time if your aura is clean because I can’t see you. However, the next best thing is I asked my guides if they thought your aura was clean and they said no. Aura colours change in your energy field all the time. For example: If you are around loving, high-energy people of course you will feel fantastic. If you are around negative, complaining people you will feel drained and tired. This means the colours of your aura can change continually on and off throughout

the days and weeks depending on what you are doing and whom you associate with.

ASK WENDY Wendy Evano I make my own essential oil compositions for arthritis, sinus, bath oils for itchy, dry, flaky skin and many other compositions for different ailments. One of the compositions I always try to have on hand is my aura spray. I of course do an aura cleansing and then I mist the spray around my aura to purify it and as the mist gently falls onto my body, it dissolves the lower energies. You just spray the mist four or five times above your head, and around your aura and inhale the soothing scent. Sometimes I use my aura spray to clean some of the negative energies out of my rooms in my home. There are many aura sprays on the market but it’s so easy to make your own.

Choose an essential oil that feels good for you and one that you especially enjoy the calming scent of. Next ask the angels how many drops to put in your spray bottle. The first number you hear or feel in your solar plexus chakra (gut) that’s the number of drops you put in your bottle. If you have a problem with that just email me and I will channel over and tell you how many drops to put in your bottle. However, I would like you to give it a try first and then email me and we will see how close you have come to the number of drops. Next fill your small spray bottle with spring water and give it a good shake every time you use it. It’s a good idea to shake the bottle for a good seven minutes to thoroughly blend the oil with the water when first mixing and creating your aura spray. It’s also a good idea to bless your aura spray. I found a really nice prayer that I say over my aura spray. Take the bottle into your hands and say this prayer: “Dear God and angels, please transform this into a

deeply purifying aura spray. May it cleanse all negative energies.” Visualize white light coming down into the spray. If you can’t see it but you can feel it, it will still work. Then use Archangel Michaels blue light for additional clearing properties. When you complete this process have faith from the powers above that you aura spray will work for you. I really like making aura sprays they are so much fun and I like to pray over all the compositions I make from my essential oils. My many clients find these oils work for them and are totally happy with the results. I hope you will try to make this aura spray for yourself and your daughter and enjoy the fantastic results it can and will create for and around your auras. Enjoy! Wendy For personal and over the phone readings phone Wendy at 426-2127. Need some questions answered from my guides then contact me at wevano@shaw.ca

Detroit zoo campaigns to save rare snails ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROYAL OAK, Mich. One-hundred endangered snails are on their way to Tahiti to restore a species that became extinct in the wild, the Detroit Zoo said Tuesday. The zoo has been working for decades to preserve the tiny Partula nodosa snail, one of several species driven out of their native South Pacific habitat by efforts to control another invasive snail species that went awry. In 1989, the Detroit Zoo said it got 115 individuals from five related snail species. The zoo got other institutions to focus on four species and concentrated on breeding Partula nodosa snails. At one time, the Detroit Zoo had all the known Partula nodosa snails in the world.

You’ve got your downpayment and you’re ready to go. Congratulations! Soon you’ll need to verify that downpayment for your mortgage approval. It’s required by all lenders to protect against fraud and to prove that you are not borrowing your downpayment, which changes your lending ratios and potential approval. Here’s how to prepare: 1. Provide a 3-month history of any bank account(s) where you have been assembling your downpayment. It’s critical that your name is linked to the account; some internet print outs don’t show a name. 2. If you had any large deposits, show its source i.e. if you sold your car, show a copy of the bill of sale. If you transferred money in from another account, bring the records for that account too. 3. If all or part of your downpayment will be a gift, a gift letter must be signed. A bank statement from the giver will verify the funds. Be prepared to show the funds deposited to your account no later than 15 days prior to closing.

Gifted funds are only acceptable from immediate family members (parents, grandparents, siblings). 4. If using RRSP money, provide a 3-month history of the account. If you are withdrawing under the Homebuyer’s Plan, the funds must have been in the account for 90 days. 5. If you are getting money from outside the country, get the money into Canada at least 30 days before funding, and provide a 90 day confirmation from that location. 6. Regularly deposit all cash in the bank, don’t stockpile at home. 7. If your downpayment is coming from the sale of your home, provide a firm contract of purchase and sale and the current mortgage statement. 8. You’ll also need to verify that you have an additional 1.5% of the purchase price to cover closing costs. Want a mortgage-burning party? Five ways to do it sooner. The faster you can pay off your mortgage, the more you’ll save in interest and the faster you

can build wealth. Here are five ways to do it sooner: 1. Add a bit to your monthly payment. Finding an extra $50 each month could shave years – and thousands of dollars off your mortgage. 2. Make a yearly pre-payment. Put a lump sum on your mortgage each year i.e. tax refund or bonus. There is a much greater impact when made early in the mortgage. 3. Increase your income? Increase your payments. Just pretend your income didn’t increase and maintain your usual lifestyle. 4. Choose bi-weekly payments. Instead of paying monthly 12 times per year, pay every two weeks for 26 payments, giving you one more payment each year. 5. Stay informed. Don’t let your mortgage go on auto pilot. Save money at renewal and take advantage of opportunities. Looking forward to your own mortgageburning party some day? I can help.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Follow someone else’s lead, even if he or she suggests something that confuses you. You will gain clarity quickly. News from a distance will make you feel very cared about. Know what you need to do to push a project to the finish line. Tonight: Just say “yes” to an invitation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have ideas about what works, yet you rarely express them completely. A project appears to be moving on its own. You might want to assess certain items, like the projected cost. Detaching from a hot situation could be difficult. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your creativity pops up in nearly every situation today. You might be feeling confused by someone you must answer to, as he or she could be sending you mixed messages. Deal with what you know, and add enthusiasm to your interactions. Tonight: Cheer up a loved one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll be coming from an anchored point of view, but getting others to respond might be difficult right now. Write down your thoughts, and then go off and find someone upbeat who wants to smile more than grumble. Tonight: The moment leads to a fun happening. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to news more openly. You might want to reorganize your schedule in order to make more time for a creative project. Lady Luck could make an appearance today. Still, use care with taking risks. Make sure you can handle the outcome. Tonight: Visit over dinner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of the costs of proceeding on your present course. A friend who means to be helpful just might not be. Tension builds around someone’s expectations, which you are inclined to meet. Your ingenuity can’t be tamed. Tonight: Schedule some downtime. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You seem to be on the right

Tundra

path, despite a mild fog of confusion that surrounds you. You might want to handle a matter that involves travel and/or a matter that you’ll need an expert for. Recognize that there are no shortcuts to resolving this particular situation. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might choose to play it lowkey right now. You’ll need some downtime, as you have done more than your fair share on several different projects. Everyone needs to recharge his or her batteries -- including you! Use this period well. Tonight: Vanish into the night. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You need to focus on your desires. You could have a difficult exchange with a partner who seems to want to shut you down. Glide past this problem, and keep your eye on the big picture. Once you have a more complete perspective, you’ll know what to do. Tonight: Accept an offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to let others run the show, especially as you recognize how complicated an issue

seems to be. You tend to be negative when dealing with those in a higher position of authority. Avoid getting into a power play. Tonight: A loved one reels you in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Slow down and detach from the here and now. You need to get a better perspective of what is happening around you and of the people you need to involve in order to realize a goal. A friend who wants to be helpful could prove to be the exact opposite. Tonight: Make weekend plans. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Relate to a friend on a one-onone level, as this person often supports you through difficult times. Your creativity surges when dealing with others, especially a close loved one. Listen to an offer that might seem too good to be true. Tonight: Honor a sense of fatigue.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My father was in prison for my entire childhood. I am now 23 and have managed to build a good relationship with him since he was released two years ago. Recently, Dad became very ill and stopped breathing. He was on life support for a week. Because I am his closest relative, I am in charge of his health care. I was told the damage was too severe and he would never recover. They expect him to die within weeks. When Dad woke up, I was given the option of making him “comfortable” with medicine that would eventually stop his breathing. I want Dad to be happy in his last days, so I asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted to live with me, so I brought him home, and he is in hospice care. Now his brothers are furious that I didn’t put him in a nursing home. They think he would get rehab there and be able to live a normal life again. When my father was incarcerated, no one in his family made any effort to be in my life. Dad told his brothers that he is prepared to die and wants to spend his last days with his daughter and his grandchildren. Plus, a nursing home won’t treat him if he refuses treatment, and it isn’t likely to help him in any event. He suffered terrible brain damage when he stopped breathing. But, Annie, his brothers are making my life terribly stressful. I have tried to explain to them that they can’t make him fight this battle, and sadly, they cannot fight it for him. I feel so overwhelmed. I am thinking of forcing Dad to go to a nursing home so his brothers will know he had every chance. But if he dies there (and he probably would), I will hate myself for not letting him live his remaining days the way he wants. I don’t want to regret this decision forever. What do I do? -- Your Happiness or His? Dear Happiness: As long as your father is capable of making this decision, please respect him enough to allow it. His brothers feel helpless, and that is why they are badgering you to put him in a nursing home. We urge you to have Dad’s doctors and someone from hospice speak to your uncles directly and explain the situation so they will understand more clearly what is at stake. Our condolences. Dear Annie: May I add to the comments on chewing gum during exercise class and sports activities? When I was a senior, in 1959, I attended a high school faculty-senior basketball game in front of the entire student body. Our wrestling coach ran up the court and suddenly stopped and dropped to his knees. Everyone, including the other coaches, thought he was having a heart attack. He lay there and died. I wrestled for four years under his coaching. We later found out he had been chewing gum and it got stuck in his windpipe, and that’s what killed him. It was one of the saddest days in the school’s history. True story. I can’t say it more strongly: No gum chewing during sports. -- Still Sad Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

REligion

Avoid judging others based on what they give Anastasia Bartlet t

ne summer day there were two young men. The first, named Digger, walked past an old man in the street who asked him for some money. Digger glanced at the bottle of water he was carrying, and tossed it to the old man without saying a word. Later, the second young man, Cliff, was walking with a young woman. They passed the same old man who, again, asked for some money. Cliff glanced at the young woman, ducked into the nearby take-out and bought the old man some lunch. While the man was eating, Cliff rummaged through the racks in thrift shop, paid for some clothes and presented them to the old man with a flourish and twenty dollars. Which of the two were more commendable? But wait, let’s consider the extenuating cir-

cumstances of both young men. Digger lives on the streets. He was abused as a child, had run away and did what he had to do in order to survive. He was trying to get clean but his progress was hampered by mental health and anger issues. All he had to give was a bottle of water. Cliff was from privileged family. He had been sent to all the right schools and had never wanted for anything. His father had made him CEO in one of his companies. Cliff was always on the look-out to impress the ladies, especially the most recent, an anti-poverty activist. So, now which of the two were more commendable? In Matthew 12, Jesus watched as people donated to the temple. He observed a widow who donated two coins of little value that represented most of all she had. Many others gave considerably more but it

neither therapist nor confessor. As I said, the only person I should be judging is myself. With prayer, I can truly discern my motivations for my actions and, with prayer, I can overcome the sin which hinders my journey towards God. Unfortunately, the tendency to judge people remains strong, in part because I judge myself compared to the behaviour of others around me. (Well, I didn’t do THAT so that means I’m a better person, right?) That’s when I have to kick myself and remember God is the only standard of my behaviour and He is the only judge. Only He can see within a person’s heart and divine their true motivation. I also need to wear blinders when viewing people. I need to be able to see the person inside and not immediately pigeonhole them based on their race, their dress,

was a small percentage of their wealth. Jesus commends the widow. To be truthful, if I saw a ledger sheet of names of donors and the value of their donations, I would be tempted to think the person who gave the larger amount was much closer to God than the one who gave the smaller. It is so easy to judge people’s faith by their actions... so easy and oh so wrong. Why am I even judging them when the only person I should be judging is myself? I have a good idea about why I think and do things the way I do, but I have no idea about the motivations of others. Do they do what is right because they truly love God and others or because they fear God and wants to avoid His supposed wrath? Perhaps, they just want the praise of men, their reward on earth, and are not interested in serving God at all. It is not my place to speculate, I am

An image of Jesus Christ. sex, tattoos, education, beliefs, health or economic status. Adversity can be blessing, as can prosperity. For me to think I’m closer to God because my earthly status is better than my neighbour’s is the height of arrogance and pride and requires another swift kick in the pants. I need humility, to take

my eyes off my neighbour and turn them onto God. Again and again, I need to remind myself, I don’t judge others, I only judge myself. And I don’t judge myself by the standard of others but by God’s standard, Jesus Christ. So who was more commendable, Digger

or Cliff? Only God knows. Anastasia Bartlett is the author of Glimpses of Glory and member of St. Aidan’s Orthodox Church in Cranbrook. Pastor of St. Aidan’s, Father Andrew Applegate, can be reached at 250420-1582.

NEWS Canada’s clean tech industry growing but losing global market share C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - A new study on Canada’s clean technology industry warns that, despite outgrowing the rest of the economy, the sector is losing global market share and needs government policy support. The fourth annual report card by Analytica Advisors found that more than 800 clean tech firms in Canada directly employed almost 50,000 people in 2013, making the industry a

bigger employer than the aerospace manufacturing sector, logging industries or pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Yet even with $12 billion in exports of manufactured environmental goods, Canada’s share of the booming global market has been in steady decline. The study finds that among the world’s top 24 exporting nations of environmental goods, Canada has been the

third biggest loser of market share since 2008, behind only the United Kingdom and Japan. And the report’s author, Analytica president Celine Bak, is concerned Canada’s clean technology industry could be following the arc of globally competitive satellite, telecommunication and biotech firms that flowered in Canada only to take root elsewhere in the world. Bak says her study is a good-news, bad-news

report that points to the need for policy co-ordination across federal and provincial jurisdictions to help the industry mature into a globally competitive market force. “We have a terrific industry that’s creating jobs, but our traction in terms of international trade is not as great as it should be because the (global) market is growing so quickly,” Bak said in an interview on the eve of Wednesday’s re-

port release at the Canadian Energy Summit in Toronto. “It should be fairly straightforward to take the next step so that the investments that have been made in early research - the investments in development and demonstrations - now are translated into jobs, exports and environmental stewardship.” Debt financing in particular is a problem for a young industry making the leap from

research and development to industrial-scale deployment, production and expansion. Technical risks are endemic. Michael Delage is vice-president of technology and corporate strategy at General Fusion, a Burnaby, B.C., company that is one of a handful globally working to create a fusion power plant. “We’re still fairly early on - proving out some of the core systems and underlying technologies and some of the fundamental science, that’s the stage we’re at,” said Delage. “The next step is going to be to build a full-scale system. We’re a few years out from where we would start that project.” Canadian govern-

ments have invested in innovation and helping companies take technology to the point where it can be demonstrated at scale, he said. But a lot of capital may be required to get the technology into a first industrial application, at which point the private sector steps in. Governments can also help build market conditions for the clean tech industry to gain a domestic foothold, said Delage. “Just look at carbon policy - it’s a bit all over the map across the country. If we we’re serious about playing as a team and finding ways to be successful economically, better collaboration on consistent policy would go a long way.”

Church and science: Global warming adds new twist ASSOCIATED PRESS

From Galileo to genetics, the Roman Catholic Church has danced with science, sometimes in a high-tension tango but more often in a supportive waltz. Pope Francis is about to introduce a new twist: global warming. The field of genetics was started by a Catholic cleric, Gregor Mendel. Entire aspects of astronomy, including the genesis of the Big Bang theory, began with members of the Catholic clergy. While some religions reject evolution, Catholicism has said for 65 years that it fits with the story of creation. But when lay people think of the church and science, one thing usually comes to mind: The prosecution of Galileo Galilei for heresy because he insisted that the Earth circled the sun and not the other way around. The Catholic Church “has got an uneven and

not always congenial relationship with science,” said science historian John Heilbron, who wrote a biography of Galileo. But after ticking off some of the advances in science that the church sponsored, the retired University of California Berkeley professor emeritus added, “probably on balance, the Catholic Church’s exchange with what we call science is pretty good.” The Catholic Church teaches that science and faith are not contradictory and even work well together. After lukewarm opposition to the theory of evolution in the late 19th century, the church has embraced that field of science that other faiths do not. There are remaining clashes about the ethics of scientific and medical practices - such as abortion and using stems cells from embryos - but that’s more about morality than reality of science.

and Kimberley Ideas in Cranbrook Mini Golf Spray, Skate and Swimming Parks

The summers can get piping hot in southeast British Columbia. While in Cranbrook, cool oﬀ at one of our outdoor water spray parks, or visit the pool complex at Western Financial Place. The Kinsmen Spray Park near the College of the Rockies and the Rotary Spray Park in downtown Cranbrook are always hubs of activity. And the top-of-the-line Aquatic centre, complete with wave pool and waterslide is a must-stop on your travels. Or head to Jim Smith Lake Provincial Park just south of Cranbrook; a popular park for outdoor recreation and nature study.

Elizabeth Lake

The Elizabeth Lake Bird Sanctuary, just west of Cranbrook, is one of the top wildlife viewing areas in southeast BC. Established trails within the popular birdwatching wetland and grassland habitat provide wildlife viewing, walking and jogging opportunities.

Paddle Sports

The East Kootenay is a paddler’s Paradise. It boasts numerous lakes, wetlands, rivers, and creeks for paddlers of all skill levels. Whether enjoying serenity with picturesque views on calm rivers and lakes or going for the extremity and exhilaration of whitewater kayaking, the East Kootenays oﬀers it all.

Cranbrook/ Kimberley Farmers’ Market

up to summer sunshine that makes you want to get out and explore. Cranbrook receives more sunshine hours than any city in British Columbia. Whether in running shoes or hiking boots, roller blades or on a bicycle, you will want to check out the great trails in and around Cranbrook. From paved walking paths to strenuous hikes up a mountain side, there is a trail for every level of fitness. One of the nicest trails in Cranbrook, especially for those who enjoy inline skating, or pushing a baby stroller is the nine kilometre Rotary Trail. Beginning at the east side of the City near 30th Avenue North, the trail takes you through the city through Baker Park, Kinsmen Park and then Idlewild Park in the south, Isadore Canyon in the north, and out to the Elizabeth Lake Wildlife Sanctuary in the west. The Wildlife Sanctuary at Elizabeth Lake provides some great opportunities for

birdwatching or a relaxing stroll on the walking trails around the lake. The 30-kilometre South Star Recreation Trail system is ideal for horseback riding or hiking in the summer, or cross country skiing in the winter. The trails begin at the south end of Cranbrook where 38th Avenue runs into the rural Gold Creek area. Forty kilometres of marked and mapped trails are available in the Cranbrook Community Forest on the eastern edge of Cranbrook. An old railway bed is the base for the Isadore Canyon, a seven kilometre section of trail, which oﬀers a smooth but challenging bike or hike. And we mustn’t forget the glorious North Star Rails To Trails, a 30-kilometre paved former railbed that runs from Kimberley to Cranbrook (and back again), for an up close and personal look at the marvellous countryside.

These animals may help your garden Planning and maintaining a garden requires a lot of eﬀort, which can result in an aesthetically pleasing addition to the landscape. But that hard work can also fall victim to nature when local wildlife find a garden too mouth-watering to resist. In an eﬀort to rid a garden of unwanted pests, gardeners may unwittingly scare away animals and insects that might just protect the garden from more ill-intentioned animals. Not every creature that scurries is out to get prized petunias or to devour tomatoes. In fact, many can prove beneficial to gardens.

average brown bat can eat 1,000 mosquitoes in an hour, so it’s easy to see why bats are good to have around. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but also harbor potentially dangerous diseases. Bats also may eat certain rodents, which can cut down on the number of animals burrowing in a yard.

Bats have a bad reputation, as people unnecessarily fear bats because they believe them to be

Frogs and toads will prey on insects and make the local insect population more manageable. Toads eat mainly slugs, who feed on the leaves and fruits of many plants. Frogs and toads are attracted to water, so including a pond or another water feature in the garden will provide them with a habitat they like.

Birds

While it is true that some birds can damage crops, many birds are content to feed on insects attracted to the garden, which helps to keep insect numbers in check. Chickadees, for example, will dine on

Are You Planning a Home Renovation or Addition?

Here’s How You Apply for a Building Permit. Whether you are planning a small or large home renovation or a complete addition this year, there are lots of important decisions you need to make. One of those important steps is ensuring you get a Building Permit from the City of Cranbrook.Our staff is here to help you understand the permitting process and ensure that your project meets all the necessary requirements to begin, whether you are doing it yourself or hiring a contractor. Let us help you by first starting with understanding what a Building Permit is. What Is A Building Permit? A Building Permit is a document issued by the City of Cranbrook which grants legal permission to begin construction of a building project whether it is a renovation or a full addition. A building project includes new construction, additions, alterations, renovations, relocations and repairs or rehabilitation of a building or structure. Building Permits are required when you want: • to erect a new building or structure, including garages, decks, and swimming pools; • to place a factory built structure such as a mobile or manufactured home, a park model or an accessory structure over 100 sq. ft. in size (Example: a premade garden shed) • to demolish, repair, alter, or move an existing building or structure; • to construct an addition to an existing building or structure; • to install a fireplace; and • or repairs which change or affect the structural nature of a building or structure. Some minor building projects may not require a Building Permit, but construction is still required to conform to the requirements of the B.C. Building Code. The City’s Building Department should be contacted to determine whether a Building Permit is required. Why is a Building Permit Required? A Building Permit is required in order that public health and safety is protected in the construction of a building project. Applications must include: • a completed building permit application form including an owner’s authorization form (if the applicant is not the building owner) – other forms may be required depending upon the nature and location of your application (For example: an Erosion and sediment control permit, a development and/or development variance permit) • 2 complete sets of scaled construction drawings comprised of: • a site plan showing the following: the street location and dimensions of the property proposed for development; the location of both existing and proposed buildings with distances from property lines to the foundation of structures indicated; area of both existing and proposed buildings as well as vehicular access to the site; • floor plans showing the size and proposed use of each room; • a detailed foundation plan • elevations showing full views of front, rear and sides of building including additions as well as finishing details; • cross section showing construction details; Once a Building Permit is issued construction should begin within six (6) months from the date of issuance. A Building Permit becomes invalid after twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance and your request for on-site inspection must be made the building inspector at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance. It sounds like a lot of steps, but remember we are here to help you with your project by providing information, application forms and to answer any questions you may have. Please visit our website at www.cranbrook.ca and visit the Engineering & Development Services page or contact the office at (250) 4890207 or by email at Catherine.Ernst@cranbrook.ca.

days of their childhoods when they would run through the sprinklers in their parents’ yards. But such sprinklers can lose substantial amounts of water to evaporation. When designing an irrigation plan for your lawn and garden, use drip irrigation or soaker hoses to conserve water. If you must use sprinklers, make sure they are not shooting water too high, as wind can blow the water away from the yard where it belongs, and be sure to position them so no water is landing on sidewalks, the driveway or the street. · Add mulch to flower and plant beds. Many a gardener has gone to bed with a beautiful garden only to return in the ensuing days and see flower and plant beds littered with weeds. Mulch is perhaps best known for helping flower and plant beds retain moisture, but mulch also prevents the growth of weeds. Preventing weed growth means your water is going to the plants and flowers you intended it for and not to greedy and unsightly weeds. Preventing weed growth also reduces your use of potentially harmful pesticides to curtail the growth of weeds. · Develop a compost pile. Compost is made up of decayed organic material, and it can be used as a fertilizer. Gardeners can make their own compost piles at home,

providing valuable minerals and nutrients for their lawns, without having to rely on store-bought amendments that need to be produced, packaged and transported before they can make it onto the shelves in your local lawn and garden center. · Choose native plants. A garden filled with exotic plants and flowers may be stunning, but unless those plants are native to where you live, that beauty is coming at a steep price. When choosing plants for your garden, choose native plants that are fully capable of thriving in your local climate. Non-native plants are likely to need excessive watering and other less sustainable attention that native plants do not need. · Plant with a plan. When planting trees around your property, plant them in locations that can reduce your reliance on air conditioning in the warmer months. Plant a tree in a place where it will help to shade common areas inside your home so such rooms are comfortable without the air conditioner cranking all day long. You can go one step further, and plant deciduous trees that will shed their leaves when the weather gets cold, ensuring that sunlight you want to keep out in the summer can get in and warm up the house in the winter, reducing the amount of energy needed to heat your home.

Home & Garden

Maintaining bird feeders and bird baths essential to avian health · The Humane Society of the United States advises cleaning hanging feeders once every two weeks or more often if they’re heavily used. Ground-feeding designs should be cleaned every two days. Feeders can be immersed in a very-diluted solution of bleach to water (nine parts water to one part bleach). Let soak for a few minutes, and then scrub the feeder with a stiff brush or scouring pad before rinsing. Allow the feeder to dry completely before refilling it with seed. · Bird baths should be emptied of water each day. Brush or wipe the bath clean, then rinse and refill with fresh water. Do not leave standing water overnight; otherwise bird baths can easily become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other parasites. · Frequently collect discarded seed hulls and clean bird droppings from beneath feeders. If the area around the feeder has become especially soiled, relocate the feeder elsewhere and clean its initial location. · Follow proper instructions with regard to seed and other bird food. For example, reduce the amount of suet offered in hot weather. Heat can cause suet to spoil, and sticky suet can become stuck in birds’ feathers and make it hard for them to keep clean. · Try to provide more than one feeder and bird bath to prevent overcrowding. Crowding can contribute to the spread of disease. · Do not situate feeders and bird baths under perches where they can be soiled by droppings. · If you notice birds look sick or are not acting strangely, halt feeding and

Bird watching is a pastime enjoyed by people of all ages. While many people trek into the woods to see their favorite birds, homeowners can take steps to entice these fascinating and feathered friends right to their backyards. Homeowners who want to attract birds to their properties can do so by providing the birds food, shelter and places to wash up or cool off. Installing a bird feeder and a bird bath in your yard is one way to attract a bevy of winged creatures that can provide hours of enjoyment. Establishing a bird-friendly environment may seem as simple as hanging a feeder on a pole or tree and erecting a bird bath nearby. But a certain level of maintenance is needed to keep birds healthy and happy. According to the experts at the Bird Watcher’s Digest, recent research indicates feeders can sometimes be a source of disease for the birds visiting them. The Audubon Society echoes that warning, saying that bird feeders and baths can serve as transmission stations for diseases such as aspergillosis, avian pox and salmonellosis. Recently, scientists noted that the spread of trichomonad protozoan parasites is on the rise, especially among mourning dove and band-tailed pigeon populations. Such warnings are not meant to deter budding birding hobbyists. Organizations like the Audobon Society hope that such warnings send the message that disinfection and maintenance is necessary to maintain sanitary environments for birds. Doing so is relatively easy and well worth the time for birding enthusiasts.

bathing to prevent healthy birds from becoming ill. Wait a week before resuming feeding and notify wildlife officials if you find dead or sick birds around your property. · Locate feeders and baths at least 30 feet away from windows so birds do not get confused by reflections and collide with the glass. · Store seed in a dry container with a tightfitting lid to prevent mold from forming and moisture from getting

in.

Creating a thriving habitat for bird watching is easier than one might think. But once birds begin visiting a yard, homeowners must diligently maintain clean feeders and bird baths to ensure the birds stay as healthy as possible. Any questions about wild-bird care can be directed to a local Audubon Society chapter or by visiting a pet store or bird hobby center. GT154046

Take a ride into mining history For 100 years, Kimberley was a mining town and that history is celebrated with the Kimberley Underground Mining Railway. Join the Mining Tour and ride the rails through the beautiful Mark Creek valley as you listen to the history of Kimberley and the Sullivan Mine. Learn about life as a miner at the Underground Interpretive Centre as miner guides describe hard rock mining and demonstrate some of the equipment used in the Sullivan Mine. A short walk to the Sullivan Mine Powerhouse will provide a guided tour featuring the huge compressors and generators that powered the mine. Board the train again to learn more about

The Back Country at your Back Door! Make Kimberley your base and explore the entire wonderful Columbia Valley — known locally as the Valley of a Thousand Peaks. Just a little north of Kimberley is the warmest lake in the Kootenays — Wasa Lake. There’s a running path around the lake, beaches, a provincial park. It’s perfect for a day or weekend getaway. Skookumchuck is located where the Lussier and Skookumchuck Rivers enter the Kootenay River and is a favourite stop for those travelling up the valley. Further on towards Canal Flats turn oﬀ on the White Swan Provincial Park Road and drive up to the Lussier River Hot springs. These natural hot springs, are just rock ringed pools to collect hot water as it comes out of the mountain. A wonderful natural setting with the icy cold

Lussier River running beside. Truly not to be missed. For the real hiking and tenting enthusiast there is Top of the World Provincial Park. Top of the World Provincial Park is a world-class alpine region. Mount Morro is the highest peak in the park, towering at an incredible 2,912 metres. Just between Kimberley and Marysville is your access to the St. Mary Valley. At scenic St. Mary Lake you will find a popular day use picnic area. The lake is a favourite for those who enjoy kayaking and fishing. Bootleg Mountain is a popular climbing destination. There is plenty for the backcountry recreation lover to explore on the many forest service roads oﬀ the St. Mary Lake Road. See Meacham Falls or the glacier at White Boar Lake.

Explore the Orpheum Theatre, the North Star Schoolhouse, the Miner’s Cabin and the Caboose as part of your adventure into history. Tickets are available at the downtown station.
