There is plenty to see and do during Sam Steel Days 2012 This year’s Sam Steel Days is a weekend that you will remember for a long time.

Kicking off with a pancake breakfast, the events start on Thurs-

day, June 14 and continuing until the evening of June 17, there is literally something for everyone. First off, there is the food. The scrumptious Taste of

Cranbrook that carries through the festivities and look out for the E.K. Realty Corral Barbecue and the Old Fashioned Picnic in the Park along with numer-

ous pancake breakfasts sponsored by local businesses.

The Sam Steele Bocce Tournament is a perennial favourite and of course, the Balls of

Steele ball tournament are a great opportunity to get the family out for some fun and sports.

The KEYSA soccer tournament promises to showcase some of the best and fastest players in the region and the Rocky Mountain Lumberjack Show will make you want to put on the plaid, grab an axe and hit the forest.

And if you enjoy your outdoor sports, don’t miss the Long Drive Competition held at Wildstone or the Freeride/Street Riding Competition where competitors do some amazing stunts that are guaranteed to generate “oohs and aahs.�

Speaking of sports, the Strongman Classic will be taking place right in the middle of downtown, with some of the strongest men in the region and beyond trying to out-lift, outpull and out-do their competition.

There are other competitions for those not quite as sports-oriented.

The Weiner Dog Races offer up a ton of laughs as these pintsized athletes try to

There was plenty of high-Àying fun at last year’s Freeride/ Street Riding competition where participants de¿ed gravity (and in some case, common sense) to provide thrills to the crowd.

outdo each other–or at least be the ¿rst to get a treat. If treats are what you are after, you have to sign up for the Cupcake Eating Competition, held at Spirit Square. For those who like their competition with a little atmosphere and a comfortable chair, don’t miss the Sam Steele Poker Classic held at the St. Eugene Golf Resort Casino.

There will be an arts

and crafts show and sale if you are looking for that perfect piece of art for the home or for a gift and the Cranbrook FireÂżghters Fishing Clinic which will give you all the information you need to catch a huge one this season.

Bring the whole family down to Sam Steele Days this year and you’ll have great memories that will last until next year’s festivities.

Putting on the high heels for the Women’s Resource Centre Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre, under the auspices of Community Connections of Southeast BC, is just such an organization.

“This is a fundraiser for the centre,” Rodgers said. “Our goal is to sign up as many men to walk the mile, and to inspire those men to form teams, collect pledges and enjoy themselves on parade day.

“After they complete the parade, they’ll receive a card acknowledging that they did, indeed, walk a mile in

OK then, this may not be the prettiest picture ever printed in this newspaper, but it’s for a good cause.

At this year’s Sam Steele Days Parade, a group of men will be donning red high-heeled shoes to raise funds for the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre.

Come out and cheer these brave souls and chip in for the resource centre. they stand about gender violence.”

And stand they will— and hobble, strut and walk—in men’s-sized shoes provided especially for the occasion, down the 1.2-mile Sam Steele Days parade route on June 16.

“We special-order the shoes before the walk,” Rodgers said.

“The heels aren’t ridiculously high, but they’re high enough to challenge most people, men or women.”

Walk a Mile In Her Shoes started in 2001 in California, and has spread to many communities across North America.

Proceeds from every walk must go to a community organization that works to reduce violence against women. The

Keeping in the spirit of Sam Steele Days, the group is seeking horse-

“It doesn’t have to be a big carriage,” Rodgers said.

“If anyone has a carriage and horses—or even a bicycle rickshaw—and would like to get involved, we urge them to contact us as soon as possible,” Rodgers said. “We are putting the event together right now so there is still time for us to make our part of the parade fun, evocative and low-impact.”

A quick poker-primer for the Sam Steele Poker Classic Submited

standard poker is as follows.

The Sam Steele Poker Classic held at the St. Eugene Golf Resort Casino is the place to be for all poker afficianados. If you want to go down and catch the action, it is of course necessary to know which hands beat which.

A poker hand always consists of five cards.

Even though in some variants you may have more than five cards to choose from, you select the five cards that make the best hand, and for the purpose of comparing hands any other cards are irrelevant.

The ranking of hands from high to low in

Straight Flush Five consecutive cards of the same suit.

Ace can be counted as high to make the highest type of Straight Flush, which is AK-Q-J-10 of a suit, sometimes known as a Royal Flush. Ace can be low to make (5-4-32-A), but not high and low at the same time (for example 2-A-KQ-J is not valid).

Four of a Kind Four cards of the same rank and one other card, such as 9-9-9-9-Q. Four of a kind are sometimes known as quads or in some non-English speaking countries as

a poker. The odd card - the queen in the example - is called the kicker.

Full House Three cards of the same rank plus a pair of cards of another rank, such as 5-5-5-KK, which would be described as “fives full of kings”. A full house is sometimes known as a boat.

Flush A Àush consists of ¿ve cards of the same suit (not all consecutive, otherwise it would be a straight Àush).

Straight Five cards of consecutive ranks, not all of the same suit.

The highest is A-KQ-J-10 and an Ace can instead be counted as

low to make the lowest straight 5-4-3-2-A, which is sometimes called a wheel. An Ace cannot be in the interior of a straight - for example 4-3-2-A-K is

not a straight.

Three of a Kind Three cards of the same rank and two cards of different ranks - for example 7-7-7-106. This is sometimes

known as a triplet or trips.

Two Pair Two cards of one rank, two cards of a second rank and one card of a third rank (the kicker) for example J-J-3-3-8.

Pair Two cards of equal rank and three cards of different ranks - for example Q-Q-A-8-7.

Nothing A hand which does not fit any of the categories above, commonly known as High Card or sometimes No Pair. That is: five cards of different ranks, not all consecutive and not all the same suit.

Any hand of a higher type beats any hand of a lower type. When comparing two hands of the same type, the ranking is determined by the ranks of the individual cards. The most numerous rank of cards in each hand (the quad, the triplet in a full house or trips, otherwise the pair if any) is compared first; if these are equal, any less numerous ranks are compared. When two ranks are equally numerous, the highest-ranking cards are compared before the others.

Note that in standard poker the four suits are all equal, and that poker hands consist of five cards only. Therefore if two players can make five-card hands that are equal apart from the suits of the cards, there is a tie and if necessary they share the winnings equally.
