Another Brick in the Wall
Nature Trust board coming to tour local properties ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
Members of the board of directors of the Nature Trust of British Columbia will be coming to the East Kootenay to tour a number of its properties this week. On Thursday, June 12, the Nature Trust board, which is comprised of members from around B.C., will meet at St. Eugene, before touring properties on the Wigwam Flats near Elko, Big Ranch in the Elk Valley and Silvertip Ranch in Bull River. Rob Neil, Kootenay Conservation Land Manager for the Nature Trust of B.C. and a registered professiona biologist, said it is a chance for the board to take a closer look at some of the Trust properties. “What these tours do is provide an opportuni-
ty for our boards to actually see the properties that they are looking at and reviewing,” Neil said. “Instead of just reading about them and looking at documentation, they actually get onsite and look at them.” At Big Ranch they will have a barbecue lunch and Neil invited representatives from other Kootenay-region organizations. “It’s a great opportunity for the board to meet those people and engage in a conversation on how they support conservation lands and what they do,” he said. The Nature Trust alternates visits between locations on Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, the Okanagan and the Kootenays.

Laurie Middle School presented its production of Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ last week at the Studio-Stage Door in Cranbrook. The classic rock opera, revamped for the stage, features themes of guilt, persecution, chronic isolation, descent into madness, and ultimate redemption — all that good stuff.

Funeral held for fallen RCMP today B A R RY CO U LT E R
This morning, Tuesday, June 10, police officers and members from around Canada will be gathering for the funerals of three RCMP officers who were killed in the line of duty last week in Moncton, New Brunswick. Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave Joseph Ross were gunned down Wednesday evening after responding to a report of a man with firearms in a residential neigh-
bourhood in the northwest area of Moncton. Two other officers — Constables Eric Dubois and Darlene Goguen — were wounded and have been released from hospital. The shootings and the ensuing 30-hour manhunt for the alleged killer brought the city to a standstill until an arrest was made just after midnight Friday. While between 5,000 and 7,000 police officers were expected in Moncton itself,
other cities including Cranbrook will also be taking part in the service. The Alliance Church, at 1200 Kootenay Street North in Cranbrook, has graciously offered their facility to allow Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP members and the general public to participate in the funeral service being held for the RCMP’s fallen comrades in Moncton New Brunswick. The service will be streamed live via CBC to a
big screen in the church. The service starts at 10 a.m.(CBC coverage starts at 8 a.m.) local time. The service is open to all RCMP members and general public. The RCMP will be marching to the church from the Tamarack Centre. Meanwhile, in Ottatwa on Monday, Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks, himself a former RCMP officer, made a statement in the House of Commons. “Mr. Speaker, (Tuesday)
police officers from across North America will gather in Moncton, New Brunswick to say their good-byes to three fallen members of the RCMP, good-byes that are being said way too early in life, good-byes that cannot be explained,” Wilks said. “The police community is tight knit and when something like this happens, it stirs strong emotions in each and every one of us. The day will be filled with
many tears. “As a retired member of the RCMP, it stirs up memories which I will never forget. “To the families of Const. Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, and Const. Douglas James Larche and Const. David Ross, we will always be with them. Canadians will hold them in their thoughts and prayers in the days, weeks and months to come. God bless each and every one of them.”

20 musicians make Sonatina Sunday a success L aurie Van der Roest
“A Sonatina Sunday”, held last Sunday, June 1, at the Knox Presbyterian Church, was a delightful concert for the almost full house.
As Mayor Stetski mentioned in his opening address, “This was one of many concerts that highlighted the incredible talent in the East Kootenay”.
The 20 performers, ranging from young to adult, were accomplished pianists, singers and violinists. Five very talented accompanists played for some of the per-
formers, three of them mothers of the artists. The East Kootenay Music Teachers’ Association (EKMTA), the host of this wonderful afternoon of
music would like to thank all their sponsors, who make this scholarship fundraiser a possibility: Sandor Rentals, Rotary International, Higher Path Printing and Produc-
tion, Locals, Cranbrook Vision Care, Safeway, Real Canadian Super Store and Lotus Books. This is a concert not to be missed next year.
Nature Trust board touring East Kootenay properties Continued from page 1
“We alternate the tour on each of those regions of British Columbia,” he said. The tours are part of the land purchase review process of the Trust.
“When we look at a prospective purchase of a conservation property, we draft up a summer report that outlines the ecological and biological values of that property and provide
rationale for purchase,” he said. “That goes to the board of directors who review the report.” Neil said from his position as the regional manager for the Nature Trust, it also affords him the opportunity to
showcase the land for the board. “We really focus on dry grassland habitats,” he said of the Kootenay-branch of the Nature Trust. “On Vancouver Island they look at wetland habitats. We do
Group to hold public meeting on Ft. Steele B a r ry Co u lt e r
Some former employees and members of the Friends of Fort Steele have become concerned enough with the state of affairs at the heritage site east of Cranbrook — that they have organized a public meeting to engender public discussion on the matter. The meeting will be held at the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce meeting room on
Wednesday, June 11, starting at 7 p.m. For Sally Struthers, a former employee at Fort Steele and one of the group of organizers of the meeting, one of the chief areas of concern is the high degree of staff turn-over. “These aren’t just seasonal workers — some have been longterm employees who have chosen not to return, or who have been terminated,” Struthers
said. Sharon Mielnichuk, another organizer, feels the Friends of Fort Steele Society board of directors is too involved with the day-today activities of Fort Steele. “When you have an organization with the amount of qualified staff that Fort Steele does, the board can’t be a ‘working board,’ it has to be a ‘policy board,’ to set future direction,”
Mielnichuck said. “That’s not happening.” The information meeting on the past and future of Fort Steele Heritage Town will be held Wednesday, June 11, at the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce Board room at 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend. As of press time, no board members could be reached for comment.
too, but they are few and far between.” He said the wetlands are a priority because they are so biologically diverse, adding the grasslands are also important in conservation efforts. The Trust looks at properties that exhibit specific ecological values that they look for. “Then we will approach the landowner
POLL WEEK of the
and tell him we’re interested in the property,” he said. “But what usually happens is people approach us and say they have a property.” Then the owners ask whether the Trust is interested in purchasing that property. “We have a set of evaluation criteria that we go through and rate the property against,” he said. “Then the chal-
lenge really comes from where do we generate the funds?” Neil said they also take into account things like connectivity and proximity to other Nature Trust land. The board of directors will also be discussing other matters of the Nature Trust, such as solving issues surrounding some of the different properties.

The art of painting pictures outdoors directly from the subject matter, which is usually landscape, of course, was made popular by the French Impressionists and is popularly known by the French term en plein air, “in the open air”. Plein Air painting has once again become all the rage and will be featured in four separate events at the Kimberley Kaleidoscope arts festival this August. Cranbrook artist Jim Robertson, well known locally for his particular style of colourful landscape studies, will start things off with a oneday “Getting Started with Plein Air” painting workshop for painters of all abilities on Tuesday, August 5. The morning session will be held indoors when participants will be introduced to materials and equipment, the afternoon spent outdoors painting at a pre-selected site. The

workshop fee is $90 which includes a lunch box. You can register for the workshop online at www.kimberleyarts. com or at the Centre 64 arts centre between 1 and 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. The registration deadline is June 20. For experienced artists a two-day plein air acrylic and oil painting workshop will follow on Wednesday and Thursday, August 6 & 7, conducted by Calgary painter Doug Swinton. Swinton is an established artist and teacher who co-owns Swinton’s Art Supply, Instruction & Framing in Calgary. Doug’s landscape paintings of prairies or
mountains are notable for their “slathering of thick viscid paint” and the “sensual and visceral” feelings which they convey. Doug is a skilled art workshop presenter, always exploring new directions. The fee for this workshop is $195 including a box lunch. Again, artists can register at www.kimberleyarts.com or at Centre 64 by the registration deadline of June 20. On Tuesday evening, August 5, prior to his workshop, Doug Swinton will give a public painting demonstration at a wine & cheese reception from 7 to 9 p.m. in the dance studio at Centre 64. Admission is just $7 at the door, which
includes a glass of wine, cheese snacks, and admission to the Arts on the Edge exhibition in the Gallery at Centre 64. A wine bar will be open for further wine purchases during the evening. The fourth and final plein air event of the Kimberley Kaleidoscope festival will take place on Saturday, August 9, when painters of all levels of ability are invited to “Paint Out on the Platzl” from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and to donate the painting they create to a Silent Auction which will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Mountain Pose yoga studio in the Platzl. The fee for participating art-
ists is $10 which includes a gift bag, snack, & water. You can register for Paint Out on the Platzl at Centre 64. This will be the third such annual Paint Out event. It provides a comfortable way for members of the public to view artists at work without feeling nosy and, if they like what they see, to put in a bid for the finished products. For more information about either the plein air workshops or events described, contact the organizers Elaine Rudser at rudser@shaw.ca or Grant Smith at grantsmithstudio@shaw.ca.

Fans of Mariska Hargitay (Detective Benson on Law & Order SVU), may not know that she is the daughter of bombshell/actress Janye Mansfield, who was killed in a car accident 47 years ago this month (toddler Mariska was also in the car, but was unhurt). We now have the DVD ‘Jayne Mansfield’s Car’—a fictional look at the impact the tragedy has on a multi-generational family. Elizabeth Raum has three new books for young readers titled ‘Rattlesnakes,’ ‘Boa Constrictors,’ and ‘Garter Snakes.’ Perfect for summer reading in the tall grass. Both the Preschool and Toddler Storytimes are now on hiatus until the fall. But don’t despair; we have all kinds of awesome programming coming up.

ALC
Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Re: “Farmland fate a test for parties” For Tom Fletcher, a fan of the recent ALR bill, only “a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land” might make the concerns about it “at least partially true.” Short of the flood, it seems any bad effect from the weakened Agricultural Land Commission Act is nothing. Fortunately, the bill spurred wide proALR action. The efforts to stop “the bill to kill
the ALR” (at least for consultation) were also a means to boost the critical mass of aware citizens for the next stage, which is now. Awareness matters. We saw that in Richmond a few years ago when a fellow who publicly wanted a high-profile property out of the ALR almost got onto the Agricultural Land Commission panel to decide on it. Of course, the ALC is a tribunal, and like a court it is meant to start with evidence, not decisions. Until the recent bill kneecapped the
commission, current chair Richard Bullock was modernizing the ALC methods for quality assurance and efficiency, minimizing mistakes. Now the changes to the ALC Act have disabled much of the progress and worse. With vigilance, the harm can be limited. Jim Wright President, Garden City Conservation Society Richmond, B.C.
Breaking Barriers
Opportunities for the disabled My name is Raux and I have a disability. This piece is the first in a weekly series on living with a disability in a community like Cranbrook. Like everyone else, though my body may not function with same fluidity, pace or range of motion as a non-disabled person, it is still my machine and the structure of my physical house. To maintain physical and mental strength you have to stay positive and exercise... Part I – Exercise Gym: There is equipment out there made to accommodate wheelchairs, I’ve seen some in person at the Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre. This was really cool to see; however, you don’t necessarily need specialized equipment to get a good workout. There are several pieces of equipment located at most gyms that you can use to suit your needs. Swimming: Both Cranbrook and Kimberley offer therapy swim sessions—this is one of my personal goals for this year—the
buoyancy of the water takes the stress of gravity off your joints and allows you focus on flexing and increasing range of motion while using the gentle resistance of the water to your advantage. Trails/Hiking: The NorthStar Rails to Trails, though not so much a physical workout from my electric wheelchair; however, this is an excellent mental workout and gets the endorphins up. I liken it to running or jogging: fresh air, sunshine, social interaction with the other trail-blazers—the best part for me is clearing my mind from all life’s challenges and just being in the moment, at home with nature. Last year I let the reports of bear sightings scare me off the trail for most of the summer. Upon further exploration I’ve learned that the 6 Mile Crossing/Shadow Mountain area is a common corridor for wildlife. Within peak user times, the chances of seeing, much less running into a bear are low. The best I can do to be safe is to be informed about bear safety and announce myself so they can avoid me if they are around — I like to play some music. I’m not going to let the fear of
“what if” scare me away this summer. The gift the Rails to Trails has given me is priceless. I don’t drive, so being able to drive to my parents’ house — my childhood home in Wycliffe — within a few “blocks” of a trail access point or even all the way to Kimberley is an amazing sense of freedom and independence. I appreciate all the efforts to establish and maintain this trail system, it is a true jewel of community connectivity and I look forward to many more wonderful afternoons traveling along the river, within the mountain and a new vista around every corner. I would love to see a trail system along the Mission Rd one day; that also has a gorgeous scenic route. Exercising is a physical and social activity; surrounding yourself with like-minded people while doing something you enjoy. Be friendly and smile, a smile can have a ripple effect, perhaps a new friend could be sitting right beside you. Sincerely, Raux

Peter Warl and
y memory is what I forget with. I was trying to explain this phenomenon to the lady across the road the other day. She was convinced that, although her short-term memory was getting a little shaky, her long-term memory was still great. I had the temerity to ask, “Is it? Are your memories of years gone by really accurate?” You see, I am discovering that many of my own recollections of events in the distant past are not true. Well, according to my doddering old friends and relatives they are not. Their memories, they believe, are far more true to life. One of my earliest recollections is of hurting myself and producing tears in order to extract some sort of sympathy from the family. Grandma, who lived with us, as a rule would snort and say, “Here’s some more Herne Bay water.” The reference being to a little incident in the paddling pool at the resort town of Herne Bay when I purportedly crashed and cut open my head. I recall the insults clearly but have no memory at all of bouncing about
on my head. I think that a large number of our childhood memories are not of the events themselves but rather of what our parents told us. Maybe I didn’t see the rosy glow in the sky when the famous Crystal Palace burned to the ground, the day after my ninth birthday, 1936. I was probably told all about it. It is strange that I do not remember my sister’s wedding nor our mother’s funeral but I do recall standing with my dad watching workmen repairing a local church steeple and adding a lightning conductor and dad commenting, “See, boy! That’s what I call a lack of faith.” I do recall the day when I climbed with three other louts onto my bicycle and, during the inevitable ensuing nasty accident, one of us had his face brutalized by the pavement, but I can’t remember which one of us. When I was in my 20s and still impoverished, I was forced to hitch-hike on my wanderings and, one day in the quiet Kentish countryside south of London, I was given a ride by the famous actress, Margaret Rutherford. She was in no chauffeured limousine; it was a Morris or Austin clunker and it was filled with camping gear. I recall that, after that generous ride, I was thinking ungenerously that she couldn’t have been much of an actress because she was the exact replica of the character she’d played in Blithe Spirit: the eccentric clair-
voyant Madame Arcati. I have often told people that I was given a ride by the Archbishop of Canterbury, although I was requested to sit in the front beside the chauffeur. His lordship did deign to ask after my welfare. I honestly think this happened to me, though I am beginning to wonder. I was discussing loss of memory with my doctor the other day and she said that smell does not get forgotten. As she was talking, I was attempting to recall any smells that might evoke memories but it wasn’t until much later, outside, that I remembered ‘rotten eggs’. That was the stink that seemed to have pervaded in all English boys’ grammar schools when I was forced to attend them. From each and every ‘chem lab’ rolled sewer gas, hydrogen sulphide, a flammable, explosive substance that stunk up the buildings. I guess that we just got used to the stench but I have no idea who was manufacturing the stuff or why. Is it something to do with sulphuric acid? Did the same miasma pervade girls’ schools? Is that why girls in those schools suddenly began slathering scents all over themselves? Incidentally, I clearly remember that I failed chemistry miserably in the sixth form. I wonder how the lady across the road now feels about our little chat about memory; I hope I haven’t confused her too much.

The right to be forgotten - almost ARNE PE TRYSHEN
In the past, if you were a rich industrialist and an embarrassing story was going to be published about you, all that was necessary to stop it from coming out was to buy up all copies of the newspaper in the city. Well, I imagine that would be the best way, anyway, as I’ve never met one an oldtimey rich industrialist. Nowadays things aren’t so easy, even for someone with horse trolleys overflowing with mesh sacks of gold coins. Not with the World Wide Web around. The internet is like a running record of everything that occurs on it — good and bad — and search engines make that information easily accessible. But the high courts of Europe, perhaps in a nod to the rich industrialist in us all, didn’t agree with those terms. So now a checkered history in the media, or an embarrassing photograph, no longer has to haunt your future endeavours. That is, of course, if that embarrassing item pops up when your name is queried through a Google search, and provided you are a resident one of the 32 European countries included in the ruling. In a recent decision by those high courts, it was ruled that in those countries Google must now accept requests under the aptly and somewhat ominously-named
“right to be forgotten.” That “right” extends to 28 countries in the European Union, as well as four nonEU countries — Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. So what is the right to be forgotten? While it may sound like something that belongs back in the Soviet Union (“Comrade, you have the right to be forgotten if you don’t accept your right to be silent”), it’s the ability to get those embarrassing video or news story eliminated from the view of the internet. For instance, that time you made a video of yourself walking down the hallway, but then slipped and knocked over the fish tank … gone. And that embarrassing news story where you said you could eat 10 delicious apple pies at the county pie eating contest, but then didn’t even make it to the fourth… that could also be eliminated under the European laws. Europe’s highest court ruled that Google must accept requests to remove items people deem unflattering from the search engine’s results. The ruling is a landmark one, in terms of its implications for free speech, as it could be used, for instance, by the seedier members of society to clean up their image and remove items that would otherwise warn people of the danger they
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
pose. And other potential implications along those lines. The ruling is somewhat misguided as well, since while the court probably intended for a broader ruling on the internet it would seem to fall short. Google isn’t the internet, so it’s a bit like banning a book from a bookstore while it’s freely available at the library. It’s also an issue, because like an elephant, the internet never forgets. Even though those folks in Europe will no longer see that unflattering information come up in a Google search in their country, it doesn’t mean it isn’t still there. Google is now just filtering it out of the search. Connect outside those countries and they will be there again like a crack on your windshield that you can’t see from a certain angle. In this case, that angle is all of Europe. And of course the information will still be there in its true on the original website it was posted. So in some respects all this does is makes some of the world’s information slightly harder to find, but not much more. The old-time rich industrialist in us all would be disappointed.

Of course, in organized soccer, you got to have the proper 14th at the last Summer Games in London, England. Despite the Olympic result, the team, which has a roster cleats, shin pads, socks, shorts and jersey, but even then, the of very talented players, should have some swagger in their cost is significantly lower than other sports, like hockey.

rivalling Messi’s dominance on the pitch, Rinaldo has a career total of 375 goals in 569 games in various levels of club competition, making him Portugal’s all-time leader. In international play, he helped lead his country to runner-up status in the 2004 UEFA championship and a bronze medal in 2012. He finally wrested away the Ballon d’Or from Messi in 2013, taking the honour after his Argentinian rival won it for three straight years. I could go on and on talking about great players such as Wayne Rooney (England), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany), Dani Alvez (Brazil—and another club teammate of Messi’s in Barcelona), Hulk (Brazil) and Mario Balotelli (Italy). However, if I did that, I could probably fill up the entire Daily Townsman. While everyone will be watching the tournament because of the soccer, there is potential for social and economic turmoil to boil over. The South American nation is spending roughly $13 billion to host the World Cup, and had been reeling from demonstrations across the country in 2013, which protested the government’s financial management. The government has been criticized for not providing the necessary infrastructure for hosting such an event, and FIFA executives had been worried about the state of stadium construction and upgrades running up to the tournament. Teams have been warming up with tune-up matches and are slowly beginning to arrive in the country, which hasn’t had any disruptions from social unrest or protests. Yet. The Brazilians could have the eye of the world for all the wrong reasons if the demonstrations flare up again. The host nation’s team officially kicks things off against Croatia on Thursday in Sao Paulo.
Kings one win away from Stanley Cup ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - This Stanley Cup final is beginning to look like a Quick series. Thanks to 32 saves from goaltender Jonathan Quick, the Los Angeles Kings beat the New York Rangers 3-0 in Game 3 Monday night to take a commanding three games to none lead and move within one victory of hoisting the Cup. “He was our cornerstone,” Kings winger Marian Gaborik said of Quick. “Our penalty kill was great and he was our best penalty-killer.” Quick was masterful in his poise and in his reflexes to record his second shutout of these playoffs and the ninth of his NHL career in the post-season. The native of nearby Milford, Conn., who grew up a Rangers fan, managed to do it in his first game at Madison Square Garden, which made it even more memorable.
“He’s always our backbone,” Kings defenceman Drew Doughty said. To supplement Quick, the Kings got goals from Jeff Carter, Jake Muzzin and Mike Richards and were in control all night despite being outshot 3215. New York goaltender Henrik Lundqvist stopped 12 shots, but he couldn’t do anything about his counterpart following the lead of his childhood idol, Mike Richter, who helped the Rangers win the Cup 20 years ago. Complete with the memory of Game’s 1 and 2 - both overtime losses - the Rangers reflected confidence despite their series deficit. Pre-game festivities leading to the 8:37 p.m. start included a motivational montage featuring Liam Neeson, and the home team took the ice at the Garden to the strains of The Who’s “Baba O’Riley.”
John Amirante’s rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner,” accompanied by frenzied towel waving from the sellout crowd, served up the first Cup final game in this building since the Rangers won it all on June 14, 1994, by beating the Vancouver Canucks. That ended the franchise’s 54-year championship drought. After the Rangers’ Game 3 loss, they got one step closer to extending their current drought beyond 20 years. And the Kings moved to the verge of their second title in three seasons. Late in the first, the Kings got started on their 15th victory of the playoffs with a goal that stunned the crowd along with Lundqvist and the Rangers. With the final seconds ticking away towards intermission, Carter flicked the puck on net with a shot that hit Dan Girardi’s skate and fluttered in off
Lundqvist’s glove. The clock showed 0:00 as the Kings celebrated their first lead of the series, and on review the puck crossed the goal line with 0.7 seconds left. As their realistic chances of making it a series hung in the balance, the Rangers didn’t put together a season-saving performance. After falling behind, New York picked up two straight high-sticking penalties that could have been worse had defenceman Marc Staal not gotten away with an extra one on Kings captain Dustin Brown. Staal’s offensive-zone high-sticking penalty that did get called led to the Kings’ second goal of the night. With Martin St. Louis trying to get his body in front of Muzzin’s shot from the point, the puck instead went off the Rangers winger and past Lundqvist 4:17 into the second period.
Bouchard climbs up WTA rankings after French Open ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS - Canada’s Eugenie Bouchard has moved up four spots in the WTA tennis rankings following her semifinal appearance at the French Open. The player from Westmount, Que., is
ranked a career-high 12th, up from No. 16. Russia’s Maria Sharapova moved up three spots to No. 5 after winning the women’s title in Paris on the weekend. No. 1 Serena Williams and No. 2 Li Na didn’t move despite early
French Open losses, while runner-up Simona Halep rose one spot to No. 3. On the men’s side, Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., who also made the semifinals at Ronald Garros, remained in ninth spot.
Spain’s Rafael Nadal held onto the No. 1 ranking thanks to his ninth French Open title. If Nadal had lost Sunday’s final to No. 2 Novak Djokovic, they would have swapped places in the ATP rankings. No. 3 Stan Wawrinka
and No. 4 Roger Federer also stayed put, but Andy Murray climbed from No. 8 to No. 5 by reaching the French Open semifinals. First-time major semifinalist Ernests Gulbis jumped seven places to a career-best No. 10.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Work with a partner as a team. Though at times you might feel bogged down, the benefits of this teamwork will allow you to indulge in unpredictability. In this case, it even could add to your strengths. Don’t let someone’s comments get to you. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might believe that you don’t have any other choice, as you defer to someone else’s ideas. You could be right, but your ideas and feedback count more than you realize. Make sure to return all your calls today. Good news will be heading your way. Tonight: As you like it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll have your hands full with what you must get done. You seem to be all smiles when facing a critical associate or a difficult challenge. Your confidence will carry you through a rough spot. Be willing to share more of yourself. Tonight: Know when to
call it a night. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your optimism will carry you far and help you accept what might be nothing more than good luck. You know not to question a situation. You are likely to find that a loved one can be incredibly challenging. This, too, shall pass. Don’t worry. Tonight: Go with the flow. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to anchor in and have a long-overdue conversation. You could be more tired than you realize. A friendship will play a significant role in your plans. Your sixth sense will help you with a domestic matter. Tonight: Stay centered. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your words have a lot of power. Keep conversations moving. People you deal with daily seem to be communicating awkwardly right now. You could feel out of sorts until you hook up with friends. A meeting will prove to be important. Tonight: Catch up on emails. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Someone you look up to could
Tundra
be seeing you in a far more positive light than how you see yourself. A conversation with this person will give you a better perspective. Detach from the more difficult aspects of your life. Take another look in a day or so. Tonight: Keep your budget. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your smile will melt away someone’s resistance. You could become cold and distant later in the day, as you get further away from the positive vibes of the morning. Eventually, this coldness could rub off on others. Think before copping an attitude. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Much goes on behind the scenes that you might choose not to share with anyone. You could become a little withdrawn despite a friend’s effort to draw you out and encourage you to view a situation in a new light. A loved one might be critical. Tonight: Not to be found. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on priorities in a meeting. You have a tendency to
become too vested in the outcome of a situation. Recognize that you can’t control others, and they might resent you for trying. You can control only yourself. Tonight: Respond to a loved one’s request. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be wondering what would be best to do with a difficult work-related situation. You need to recognize your limits when dealing with others. Know when to let events happen. You could be surprised by someone’s reaction. Tonight: Work late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Reach out to someone at a distance. News that you have mixed feelings about could head your way. Remain upbeat in how you deal with the people involved, and hold back your initial reaction. Tonight: Get tickets to a concert, or listen to some great music.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have two adult daughters, both married now. “Beth” lives nearby, but “Gina” moved across the country. Beth was diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar disorder when she was in her early 20s. I think she suffered from it during childhood, but was undiagnosed. When they were children, I spent a great deal of time trying to calm Beth down and was aware that Gina did not get the same degree of attention. I tried to make up for it by doing things with Gina outside of the house. I became her Brownie troop leader and went on her class field trips. I made it my business to see that we had calm times together. Now that Beth is on medication, she is a different person. But it may be too late. Gina doesn’t want to come home anymore because she says she doesn’t feel safe here. Gina tells me that she is being treated for PTSD due to verbal abuse and neglect she suffered as a child. She says I should have done a better job of protecting her. She hasn’t spoken to Beth in two years. I respect her feelings, but I don’t understand why she cannot forgive Beth knowing how ill she was. Beth is expecting her second child, but I didn’t tell Gina, because I thought she wouldn’t care. Her grandmother spilled the beans, and now Gina thinks Beth was deliberately “getting even” because Gina didn’t invite Beth to her wedding. I feel like such a failure. I am not getting any younger and worry that the two of them will air their dirty laundry at my funeral. I love both of my girls, but I don’t know how to resolve this. -- Brokenhearted Mother Dear Mother: Please stop beating yourself up. A child with behavioral issues is a tremendous challenge to parents and siblings alike. Even though Beth’s behavior was not your fault, Gina needs you to apologize for not giving her the childhood she thinks she deserved, and more importantly, Beth needs to reach out to her sister and ask for forgiveness. These small things can go a long way toward healing. Also ask whether Gina would seek counseling with you. Be patient, but don’t give up. Dear Annie: Last Memorial Day, I visited the grave of a relative to pay my respects. I looked up and saw a group of people walking by with their dogs -- right over the graves. The cemetery has a sign saying no dogs are allowed. On a holiday like Memorial Day, the groundskeepers aren’t there to say anything. I gave them a stern look, as I certainly didn’t want their dogs to relieve themselves on my relative’s grave. They just looked at me and laughed. This undoubtedly will happen again. How can I deal with it without losing my cool? I find this disrespectful and disgusting. -Anywhere USA Dear USA: Those cemeteries that do not permit dogs will post a sign, as yours did. Those who bring their dogs in spite of these signs are trespassing and should be reported to the cemetery owners, as well as the police. In cemeteries where dogs are allowed, considerate owners will not permit their animals to relieve themselves on a grave, but will direct them to other areas within the cemetery and will clean up after them. Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “Different Gods,” the Pagan who doesn’t want to attend church with her boyfriend’s family at Christmas. I have been a practicing pagan for 30 years. Though I am devoted to my religion, I am still able to celebrate with family and friends. Holidays are about the season, the sharing and the joy in being alive. “Different Gods” should embrace the holidays as a way to show her love for her boyfriend and his family. Maybe then he might be more interested in attending some pagan festivals. -- L. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Sympathy & Understanding
Bill Visentin peacefully passed away June 6 with his family at his side at the age of 86. H e wa s b o r n O r l a n d o William Visentin in Coppercliff (Sudbur y) Ontario September 5, 1 9 2 7 . B i l l w o r ke d f o r Sears in several capacities and postings in Ontario before being transferred to Calgary, Alberta in 1968. He had an entrepreneurial spirit and left Sears to pursue other business careers. He was an integral part of the Roman Catholic Church community and a fourth degree member of the Knights of Columbus. In 1989 he moved to Cranbrook, BC where he and Norma established the successful Lawn Doctor business. He continued to build the business while at the same time volunteering for many activities in Cranbrook. These included ushering at hockey games and the Key City Theatre, helping the Cranbrook Food Bank, St. Mary’s School, countless nights with Citizens On Patrol, walked many parade routes in the Kootenays with United Commercial Travellers and directing visitors at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital as part of the Hospital Auxiliary. Bill also took pride in his community by sitting on two different committees with the City of Cranbrook. In 2006 he retired handing the keys to the Lawn Doctor over to his son Paul and daughter in law (Mance). In retirement he focused more on his music and volunteering. Music was a passion with Bill from singing in choirs, playing in dance bands and entertaining around the campfire while living in Ontario. His love of music followed him to BC with the Lost Dog Singers, the Big Band, Don Davies Trio and other bands that needed an accomplished bass player. Many people in Kootenays have been crooned and soothed by his Sinatra style voice. But beyond and above all this he had a positive work ethic and devotion to family. He was predeceased in 2006 by Norma Visentin (wife of 55 years), Attilio Visentin (father), Luigia Biscaro (mother), Marina Moro (stepmother). He is survived by his children David Visentin (Molly) of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Paul Visentin (Mance) of Cranbrook, BC, Catherine McKenzie (Bruce) of Kimberley, BC, sister Monica Favretto (Peter) of Delhi, ON, grandchildren Keith, Ryan, Kate, Cory, Matthew, Laura and Holly, great grandchildren Adalyn and Sullivan, several nieces and nephews in Ontario and BC, and special friends – Bessie Tegart and family of Cranbrook. A visitation and prayers for Bill will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Tuesday, June 10 at 7:00 pm. His funeral mass will be held at Christ the Servant Catholic Church on Wednesday, June 11 at 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Cranbrook Food Bank Society, 104 - 8th Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC, V1C 2K5. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Behind the lens
The 4x6 Print: As dead as a dodo?
O
ur last column focused on smart phones and the decline in camera sales, so we thought that it would be nice to link in this month’s column to the results of this trend with what happens with all those millions of pictures that are taken. It would be a safe bet to say that 99 per cent of all pictures taken today end up on Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Pintrest or are just left on the digital device that they were originally taken on, never to be seen again. Most independent camera stores remember the days when customers would queue outside the store before it opened, eager to collect their prints to see what had turned out. As retailers, part of the day was to see the happiness and joy on customers faces as they relived those moment’s they had captured. Technology has made is easier and cheaper than it’s ever been to take a picture, yet it has also changed what we have done with them. During the days of film, people had no choice but to get pictures printed, to proudly display them on their walls. When friends came over for a visit, an album would be handed around or placed on a table. When was the last time you were handed an album to glance through? Rather than having meaningful photos of moments from their lives adorning the wall’s, most homes occupied by younger generations now display cheap, gaudy, mass-produced artworks bought from the big box stores.

As a parent or grandparent, are there photos of your loved ones or cherished times on display? Or like most, are they just hidden away on a computer device, waiting to be lost the next time your hard drive crashes or cell phone is stolen? Unfortunately it has become very apparent and a fact that this will be the first generation of children not to have pictures of themselves to look at in there older years. Those old family pictures you cherish and look back on with wonder will no longer exist. We have the privilege of being able to trace our family tree through ancestry programs online or our local libraries, even today you look back at those Victorian era pictures and wish you could see more. We should count ourselves lucky that our generation can see those pictures now. Every week we see people who want to know if there is anyway we can retrieve pictures from corrupt memory cards or crashed hard drives. Unfortunately, in most cases nothing can be done to save them. Our response to asking the question “did you print them, at least?” is almost always the same “I wish I had,” For questions about anything photographic, including printing images, from 4x6 prints to Canvas and Metal, contact us on 250 489 5336 or email David@cranbrookphoto.com.
