Wildlife detection system to be tested on Highway 3 BARRY COULTER
The corridor between Cranbrook, Fernie, Sparwood and the Alberta border is “Ground Zero” for collisions with wildlife in B.C. And a new high-tech wildlife detection systems will be tested on Highway 3 between Fort Steele and the Alberta border to better warn
motorists about the potential for collisions. Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, announced the testing of the new technology at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday at the Heritage Inn in Cranbrook. “We recognized that one of the leading causes of collisions in B.C. is
the high prevalence of wildlife on many corridors, and nowhere greater than here in the Kootenays,” Stone said. “In fact, the Cranbrook-Fernie-Sparwood (corridor) is pretty much Ground Zero for some of the highest rates of collisions in the province.

A young Cranbrook woman will vie for the title of Miss B.C. this weekend in a province-wide pageant. Jacqueline Potter, 20, is one of 50 B.C. women taking part in the Miss B.C. Pageant, which will be held June 30 in Fort Langley. Potter said she learned about the pageant in January, and decided to apply because of what the contest stands for. “What really intrigued me about it was that it isn’t a typical beauty pageant,” she said. “It’s more about self-esteem, self-confidence. It doesn’t matter what size you are, what height you are. They just want everybody to feel comfortable going and being who they are. That’s why I joined it.” Pageant creator Darren Storsley said Miss B.C. prides itself on not discriminating against any women.
JACQUELINE POTTER It accepts contestants who are single or married, of any age, height and weight, parents or no.

Davis wants more action on local food production A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff
There could be potential for more local food production in the city, and one councillor hopes provincial representatives will come to Cranbrook to clear the confusion surrounding the regulations. Coun. Angus Davis put forward a notice of motion at the Monday, June 23 council meeting regarding agricultural opportunities in the city. Davis noted that there are many regulations governing the production and sale of locally grown products. “Some of these are very restrictive,” he said. He said the reason he brought the notice of motion forward is because he feels there is a lack of agricultural production and sale in the local area. “Everything we consume in the city on an agriculture basis is produced someplace else,” Davis said. “It comes from someplace other than Canada, it comes
from other places in Canada.” He said there may be an opportunity to talk to representatives in the province and in Canada to find out what they are allowed to pursue in terms of agriculture in the city. “We know that products can be produced here, they always have been,” he said. “But we’re living in a multinational orbit which seems to eliminate us from being able to compete.” Mayor Wayne Stetski said it’s an important issue for Cranbrook and every other community around. He said the corporate trip to South Korea he took part in last year really brought to life the potential there is for urban agriculture. Stetski said the Agriculture and Technology sector for the City of Wonju does soil testing for residents. “Anybody who wants their soil tested to see what it would take to get it productive — they do it for free,” he said. “They provide dates of bio-agricultural
products to people for free. As a result, if you make it easy for people to do the right things around growing, they will.” Davis said that during a delegation, the owner of the local Save-On-Foods had said it is possible for the store to sell locally grown products. Coun. Sharon Cross said she had spoken to a small local chicken farmer, who told her that the regulations and cost to go through to pay for inspection was prohibitive. “We need to start supporting our local producers and hope the province will consider at some point bringing back farmgate sales,” Cross said. Coun. Bob Whetham echoed Cross’s statement, saying he had spoken to a local producer who is raising products, but can’t sell directly to restaurants. “We have willing people, we have the area, but we don’t have the framework that enables them to go forward,” he said.
Open fires prohibited as of July 2 F o r the Town s man
Effective at 1 p.m MST on July 2, 2014, open fires will be prohibited within the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. This prohibition will remain in place until the public is otherwise notified. Specifically, prohibited activities include:
• the burning of any waste, slash or other materials; • stubble or grass fires of any size over any area; • the use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or description. This prohibition does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller, and it does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, pro-
pane or briquettes. This prohibition covers all B.C. Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department. Please check with local authorities for any other restrictions before lighting a fire.

The Perfect Retirement Lifestyle Seniors want it all: a comfortable home, independence to follow their own schedule and maintain their own interests, safety and security, delicious food and the company of others. And who can blame them? Not long ago, seniors had limited housing options, and few met all of their needs. However, when Garden View Village opened its doors several years ago a new style of seniors housing opened in Kimberley, providing today’s seniors the opportunity to experience retirement living at its best. Garden View Village is a well-crafted seniors’ community boasting 48 beautiful suites ranging from studios to one and two bedroom layouts. These maintenance-free living suites incorporate supportive features to promote independence and 24-hour emergency monitoring service for added peace of mind. Kitchens include a fridge and stove and each suite is equipped with its own personal heat and air conditioning controls. Beyond the suite is access to a variety of common areas which include a games room, spa room, library, dining room, coffee room, crafts room, hair salon and lounges. All areas are easily accessible, full of interesting people, engaging activities and share a wonderful sense of community. Hospitality services at Garden View Village are included in the affordable monthly rent and in-
clude weekly housekeeping, a wide selection of recreational and social activities, 24 hour emergency monitoring, shuttle bus service, and hot, delicious meals prepared by on-site chefs. And each meal is served by cheerful wait staff in a central dining room, with a cozy fireplace where guests and families are always welcome. In addition to the hospitality services, residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing they don’t have to worry about extra bills because all utilities including water, sewer, heat, air conditioning and cable are also included. What’s more, Garden View Village’s convenient location enables seniors to easily maintain their relationships with friends and family. And at Garden View Village pets are a big part of the family. In this pet friendly building residents are encouraged to bring their pets with them to live. Free from the responsibilities of home-ownership, seniors at Garden View Village can enjoy the many other activities and joys that life offers. We’re fortunate to live in a time when retirement living options provide everything seniors want – and more! Garden View Village is open daily; and you can call (250) 417-4214 for more information or to book a tour.

At that point, schools will be in a position to generate report cards for all students in Grades 10, 11 and 12.” But report cards for kindergarten to Grade 9 students weren’t deemed an essential service by the Labour Relations Board, so they won’t be issued this summer. “Despite the fact that there were some teachers who got their marks in, there were a whole bunch of others who didn’t, and nobody was able to go through a verification process,” said Carriere. “So we
Report cards will be issued for students in Grades 10, 11 and 12 in School District 6 (Kimberley), but not for kindergarten through Grade 9 students. Paul Carriere, superintendent of School District 6, said the district will be able to issue report cards for senior students. “It has been a very quickly evolving situation,” said Carriere. “We did get an order that teachers would be required to submit marks for Grades 10 and 11, despite the fact that they are on strike. Teachers are currently in the process of doing
“Despite the fact that there were some teachers who got their marks in, there were a whole bunch of others who didn’t, and nobody was able to go through a verification process. So we are really not in a position to be able to say that the marks that we do have are accurate, and many of them we just don’t have at all.” Paul Carriere are really not in a position to be able to say that the marks that we do have are accurate, and many of them we just don’t have at all.” Instead, parents of children up to Grade 7 will receive a letter from the school district that tells them whether their child will progress to
the next grade. “If they have any concerns about that progress, they are welcome to come into the school and meet with the administration to do that,” said Carriere. Parents of students in Grades 8 and 9 will receive correspondence from the school
district confirming which courses the students will be enrolled in for the 2014-2015 school year. “But we won’t be able to tell them what their final mark was in the courses they had this year. That doesn’t mean that isn’t going to happen at some point in the future; it just means that right now it’s not happening,” said Carriere. Meanwhile, Selkirk Secondary graduates won’t notice many changes to commencement ceremonies on Saturday, June 28 at the Kimberley Civic Centre. “I don’t think there will be many, if any changes at all to the
commencement ceremony,” said Carriere. “For example, there may have been teachers up on stage presenting things to them in the past. It will be different people. But in terms of the graduation ceremony going forward, it won’t have an impact.” As reported in the Wednesday, June 25 issue of the Townsman, Mount Baker Secondary’s commencement ceremonies will also be unaffected today, Thursday, June 26. The only change is that the grads will muster at Western Financial Place, which is also the ceremony location, instead of at the high
school. In School District 5 (Cranbrook), marks for Grades 10, 11 and 12 students will be released in the coming weeks, but again, the only thing released for students in kindergarten through Grade 9 will be information on attendance and whether the child is progressing in the new school year. Summer school has been cancelled in School District 5, but School District 6 doesn’t hold summer school so in that way it has not been affected by the job action between the Ministry of Education and the B.C. Teachers Federation.
Wildlife detection systems to be tested on Hwy 3 Continued from page 1
“Amongst a number of other initiatives which we’re going to move forward with, like fencing and more LED signs and so forth, we decided we’re going to pilot two wildlife detection systems here in the East Kootenay,” Stone said. “One will be just outside of Sparwood, because that area has
the highest incidents of elk collisions in the province — by far. The second system will be just east of Cranbrook and it has one of the highest rates overall of collisions with wildlife, most of which is deer. “So we thought, ‘nowhere better in the province to pilot these systems than here.’”
The combined value is $1.5 million. Stone said the technology is state of the art, using sensors and radar to identify large wildlife approaching the shoulder of the highway. When a large animal is detected, the system will trigger flashing lights on a warning sign to alert drivers of the potential hazard ahead.
Drivers can then lower their speed and take appropriate steps to reduce their chances of hitting the animal. Approximately 70 per cent of elk fatalities on Highway 3 near Sparwood occurred between October and March, a period when driving conditions are most challenging with less daylight and winter

conditions. Approximately 60 per cent of deer fatalities on Highway 3 occurred between April and September, when many tourists are travelling through the area. An adult bull elk can weigh as much as 315 kg (700 lb) and a large adult bull moose can approach 700 kg (1540 lb). By comparison, a subcompact sedan weighs approximately 1,100 kg (2400 lb), and a motorcycle weighs between 200 and 350 kg (440-770 lb).
Stone, the MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson, was first elected in May, 2013, and the next month was appointed Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure — a big, sprawling, complicated portfolio. “It’s the best ministry in government, in my opinion,” Stone told the Townsman. “It’s loaded with staff who are all about getting things done. It’s all project-based, there’s a beginning and an end on everything we do. “I think the greatest
challenge — because I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the challenges thus far, and I’ve met the challenges head on, I think — is just the massive scope of transportation infrastructure that we have in this province. We have 47,800 kilometres of road that’s maintained by the Province. You think of the dozens of airports we have, we’ve got about 15 deepwater ports in this province, there’s responsibility for rail, for ICBC … It’s a broad portfolio with lots of responsibilities.”

Local NEWS Sam Steele Days 2014 Little crime over Sam Steele weekend
Number 50 the best yet
Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
This past weekend Cranbrook was abuzz with Sam Steele Days festivities. The events ran the weekend of Saturday, June 21. Maureen Frank, from the Sam Steele Days Society, said in her opinion it was the best Sam Steele Days weekend yet. “The parade in particular, from what I saw, was the best parade I’ve ever seen here,” Frank said. She credited the assortment of floats, both those made in town and from out of town, which were “decked out” in decorations. Another big thing was the live bands that “performed to their peak” on many of the floats. “I thought they did a wonderful job and the music included in many of the floats filled it in,” she said. “Music really attracts the attendees. It makes them look and it makes them kind of dance along.” She said the Strongman and the wiener dog races attracted huge crowds. “The crowds that gathered for these two events were just spectacular,” she said. Frank said having the Steele’s Scouts come down added to the authentici-

Teams in the Sam Steele Ball Tournament skyrocketed. “It almost doubled in teams,” she said. Her rough estimate was from 48 teams to 72. There was an assortment of other tournaments as well, from soccer to disc golf, bocce to beach volleyball. There was also the well-attended motocross event. “I don’t know where else in B.C. you can find all of that,” she said. In terms of entertainment, there was plenty on offer. “We had a very successful talent showcase,” she said. “We received many requests to play,
more than we could handle.” Next year she said the event may be on the Sunday as well, because of the tremendous interest. Frank also wanted to mention the performance and message of the service given by Cranbrook Connect Church on Sunday, with over 300 people in attendance. The Fraternal Order of the Eagles estimated serving pancakes to 300 people Sunday morning. “This small group of people pulled it off so professionally,” she said. Frank said that Young Life and Friendship Hockey helped the Sam
Steele Society by facilitating carnival games for kids and the bouncy tents. She said they also helped with recycling efforts and received the funds from that towards their fundraising efforts. “These two groups were stunning and they did their jobs so well,” she said. Last year there were about 400 volunteers putting in their time to make the Sam Steele Days weekend the best it could be. “It has to be closer to 500 this year,” she said. She said the event took the whole community to put together, including businesses and volunteers.
Potter enters Miss BC pageant Continued from page 1 “The Miss BC Pageant celebrates all women, and yes, we would welcome transgendered contestants,” said Storsley, who himself was Mr. World Canada 2007. Potter is the first woman from Cranbrook to enter the pageant. She applied online at the end of January, and was then interviewed by phone by a pageant organizer, who accepted her as a contestant. Potter then went about securing sponsors for her candidacy. Her top sponsor is the Hospital Employees Union, East Kootenay Regional local. Her second sponsor is Kootenay Import Auto Group. Both sponsors have

been very supportive, Potter said, covering the costs associated with her entry in the pageant, such as hotel and food while she’s in the Lower Mainland, her outfits and her sash. Potter has also fundraised for the pageant’s charity Cops For Cancer. In May, she held a barbecue fundraiser at Import Auto Group. Earlier this month, she led a Zumba class at Core Fitness, with all proceeds going to Cops For Cancer. Potter also appeared on the Import Auto Group float on Sam Steele Days. This weekend, Potter will head to Vancouver to prepare for Monday’s pageant. All of the contestants
come together on Saturday to receive professional training in areas such as public speaking, interview skills, media relations, modelling, manners, etiquette, leadership, self-esteem, health, fitness, nutrition, assertiveness and motivational speaking, and even self-defense. On Saturday, Potter will participate in the talent portion of the pageant, which is held separately. She and seven other contestants will perform a cheerleading routine. “I was a cheerleader in high school for three years, and then I did dance for three years,” said the Mount Baker graduate. In the pageant, the
contestants compete in a private judge’s interview, an on-stage interview, a sportswear presentation, an evening gown presentation, a sponsor costume introduction, as well as in charity fundraising. “This is my first time doing anything like this. I’m feeling a little bit nervous, but I’m more excited now that it’s getting closer,” said Potter. The public is invited to log on and vote for their favourite contestant for the People’s Choice award at www. missbc.ca. The pageant will be held on Monday, June 30 at 7 p.m. at the Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley, and broadcast on Shaw Television later this year.
Cranbrook might be coming off its biggest celebration weekend in years, but when it comes to crime, Sam Steele Days was relatively quiet, according to local RCMP. Cst. Katie Forgeron said the RCMP responded to 111 calls for service between Friday, June 20 and Sunday, June 22. “It was a relatively mild weekend,” she said. “We didn’t have anything crazy happen. It was relatively minor calls that we did go to.” Most of those calls were incidents such as loud party complaints, and people drinking open liquor in public places. “We had no fights, we had no as-
saults,” said Cst. Forgeron. RCMP took 13 impaired drivers off the road. One was charged criminally, the rest were issued Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. Most people made the wise decision to walk to and from celebrations if they were drinking, Cst. Forgeron continued. “We were extremely pleased with the amount of people who were on foot, who decided to walk.” RCMP had six general duty officers on duty, five traffic officers, and one auxiliary constable.

Annual ceremony to launch summer
T
BARRY COULTER
he annual ceremony we mark around the time of the summer solstice goes deep in our cultural consciousness. Like the winter festivals of Christmas and New Year, or the Celtic festival of Beltane, that marked the beginning of summer, the celebration of the Grade 12 graduates is a symbolic affirmation that our society is moving forward towards an ultimate good. This is a moment when we can relax our anxieties about the future, for Graduation reminds us that there is a younger generation to save us from ourselves, and its moment will arrive soon. They have put themselves through that long grind, acquiring knowledge, confidence and ability, and will now head out into the world. Out there, they will have remarkable adventures, experiences beyond comprehension, revelations, epiphanies, triumphs and set-backs, battles and feuds. They will make fortunes and lose them, create great inventions and destroy them in fits of pique. They will have legendary romances, comings together and partings of the ways, and we will cover our ears when we hear their revolutionary music. They might yet, through alchemy we haven’t heard of yet, turn lead into gold. Then they will come back to Cranbrook, and their return will kick Cranbrook forward into the future. And I can’t wait! Come back, and save us from ourselves! For the most part, graduation ceremo-
nies are held at the end of June (my own high school grad was held in September — the only school I’ve ever heard of that adhered to such a custom). And it’s an entirely appropriate season to do so. It’s fitting that graduation ceremonies are held around the time of the solstice, where the sun pauses overhead and looks down upon the doings here on earth, doings like graduation ceremonies. There is even a tarot card for graduation — “The Sun” (number XIX in the Major Arcana). It’s meaning is this: The Sun is an image of optimism and fulfillment, the Sun represents success, radiance and abundance. The Sun gives you strength and no matter where you go or what you do, its positive and radiant energy will follow you. As for the summer solstice itself, it is a time of intensity, renewal and great potential. And that is what we at the Townsman/ Bulletin wish for all the graduates of School Districts 5 and 6 — from Golden Secondary, David Thompson Secondary, Selkirk Secondary, Elkford Secondary, Sparwood Secondary, Fernie Secondary and Mount Baker Secondary. *** Speaking of customs, traditions, education and graduation, I have observed a very important custom in Cranbrook. There comes a point in young teenagers’ lives when they must slide in behind the steering wheel of an automobile, put it

into gear, and step on the accelerator for the first time, putting the rest of the world in peril until those skills are mastered. It makes this process so much easier to have a wide expanse of space, uncluttered with parked or speeding vehicles, or pedestrians with their heads in the clouds. So much less nerve-wracking than heading out onto Highway 3, all crowded with speeding semis and oblivious wildlife, or venturing into the tumultuous, turbulent streets of Kimberley. When I was that age, I was learning to operate vehicles in farmers’ fields. Here in Cranbrook, it’s the parking lot of the Tamarack mall. Once, driving by the Tamarack Centre with a friend from out of town, she looked out the window and said, “That’s where my dad taught me how to drive, more than 30 years ago.” Since these days I’ve been wondering how and where I will be offering up my own skills for instruction (God help us all), I was relieved to know there was a place at hand where this instruction and experience could take place. It was further confirmed just the other day, when I was walking by the Tamarack Centre on a Sunday morning, and saw a vehicle pull up and the father and daughter trade places, with her sliding behind the wheel, putting the car in gear and stepping on the accelerator. I wish this young person decades ahead of happy, safe, defensive driving.

Cranbrook ventures into social media What’s Up?
A
A r n e P e t rys h e n
t first glance it would seem the City of Cranbrook isn’t up to speed with technology. It doesn’t have a Facebook profile, a LinkedIn account or a Twitter “handle”. It does, of course, have a website, just in case you were wondering. There’s a reason for the lack of social media on the city’s part, and it has to do with complicated legal requirements that a municipality should meet to avoid trouble. At the Monday, June 23 city council meeting, Cranbrook administration answered some of the questions surrounding the complications of getting the city into the social media scene. One of those is that the city is currently working on a social media governance policy, but that’s still in the draft stage. Once that policy is completed, it should clear up some of the barriers, but even then it will still come down to the city needing extra resources and personnel — maybe even a separate branch — to monitor and keep track of social media. The city initially contacted 18 other municipalities to see what they had for a policy — only three even had one. One of the big worries the city has is making sure it is adhering to the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy
Act, as well as maintaining consistent records as per its records policies. One solution that would simplify things is to make sure the flow of information is a one-way street. According to the report, Facebook would be the social media of choice in that regard, as comments can be turned off, something other social media applications don’t offer. The city also has to ensure it has enough IT resources and personnel to monitor the social media, as well as keep all of the records that accrue. That’s a reason one-way communication is more appealing to the city, because it could quickly get out of control if they had to record and compile every Twitter interaction or Facebook comment. The city would have to create a system to make that information permanent and searchable by staff as well, further adding to the complications. On the privacy side, the city would have to be able to separate personal and public information as well, or risk penalties up to $500,000 for the corporation, and $2,000 per individual employee. The city will have to decide whether pushing information out is the best use of social media, or if it is an opportunity to have a more interactive conversation with its residents and taxpayers.
The city estimates it would need to upgrade its servers, feeds and programming for the extra information, as well as ongoing maintenance fees. “Cost estimates would need to be explored and researched further,” the report reads. The city report states that while “there is no denying the fact that the use of social media like Facebook and Twitter by a municipality is a great tool,” city staff feels that it already spends a significant amount of time responding to requests and concerns from the public. The report worries that adding another avenue would create more expectations of communications from the city. City staff said they were reasonably comfortable with the one-way street aspect and it would definitely cut down on resources. Coun. Gerry Warner pointed out that similar sized cities to Cranbrook are now looking to the city to take the lead on this. “They want to know if we go ahead what we’ve learned, so I’m wondering if we’re a bit ahead of the curve on this one,” Warner said. We’ll have to wait and see. But the next time you find yourself navigating a lengthy sign-up for a social media application, remember: it could be a lot worse, and a lot more complicated.
Thailand: It’s quiet out there “It’s quiet out there. Too quiet.” In the old Hollywood movies, that’s the line that one of the intrepid explorers utters just before all hell breaks loose in the jungle. But the army chiefs are probably saying it in Thailand, too. It’s just over a month since the Thai army overthrew Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and took control of the country. The elected government, which had faced months of street protests by an anti-democratic opposition movement that sometimes used violence, knew the coup was coming. Indeed, the demonstrations were explicitly intended to cause a military coup. Yet the government’s supporters have remained silent. Curious. Officially, the army puts this down to popular support for the coup. “Thai people, like me, have probably not been happy for nine years, but since 22 May there is happiness,” said General Prayuth ChanOcha, the army chief who now rules the country. And his soldiers have been doing their best to prove it, at least in Bangkok, organising street parties that offer free food and drink, music and dancing, even free haircuts and a petting zoo. Some Thais clearly are happy about the military coup: they take selfies of themselves with soldiers in riot gear in front of big banners that say HAPPINESS. But their clothes suggest that they belong to the prosperous middle class of Bangkok whose constant anti-government demos were intended to trigger the coup, so why shouldn’t they be happy? Others, generally less well dressed, are a lot less happy. In a striking example of cul-
tural cross-over, some of them make the three-fingered salute that is used as a gesture of defiance by the oppressed population in the “Hunger Games” films when they pass soldiers in the street (although you can get arrested for doing that). But where are the mass protests that everybody expected when the long-awaited coup finally happened? The Thai army has some dozen coups to its discredit, but the country has been democratic most of the time since the mid-1980s. Politics nevertheless remained largely a game played out between rival sections of the Bangkok elite until the 2001 election, when Thaksin Shinawatra, a selfmade telecommunications billionaire from Gwynne humble origins, won a landslide victory. Dyer Thaksin’s government openly favoured the downtrodden majority: the mass of poor farmers in the densely populated north and east of the country, and their children who had migrated to the factories of Bangkok. His welfare policies and cheap government loans began to transform their lives – but they also aroused the bitter opposition of better-off people in Bangkok and the south. The army overthrew Thaksin in 2006, and he has lived in exile ever since. Every time the generals handed power back to the civilians, however, they voted in another government loyal to Thaksin: most recently, to one led by his sister Yingluck Shinawatra, who became prime minister after the 2011 election. By then, the conservative parties had concluded that they could never win a free election – so they decided on “reform”
instead. The street protests that began last November were led by the People’s Democratic Reform Committee, which demanded the resignation of Yingluck’s government. The PDRC said it would also disrupt any new elections until a committee of “good people” (chosen by the protesters and their friends at court) reformed the constitution to stop poor or badly educated people from voting. Only then could the right people finally win a “free” election. That’s still the plan, and the army seems to be fully committed to it: the junta leader, General Prayuth Chan-Ocha, says there will be no new elections for up to two years, by which time they will be conducted under a new, “reformed” constitution. So why have the “red shirts” (as the mostly poor supporters of the Shinawatras are known) not taken mass action against the coup, as most observers expected they would? Why is it so quiet out there? One plausible answer is that the leaders of the “red shirts”, hoping to avoid a civil war, are waiting for King Bhumibol Adulyadej to die. The 86-year-old king generally sympathises with the “yellow shirts” (as the coup’s civilian supporters are known), but he is in poor health. Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn was close to Thaksin Shinawatra when he was prime minister, and if he succeeds to the throne the whole crisis might be resolved peacefully But Bhumibol might linger on for years, or the “yellow shirts” might even try to break the rules of succession and put Crown Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn (who favours them) on the throne instead. The disenfranchised majority won’t stay quiet forever. What is lurking silently out there in the darkness is a civil war.

NHL Draft day looms for Sam Reinhart TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Sam Reinhart has been waiting for this moment since he entered the WHL. The Kootenay Ice captain is currently in Philadelphia, where he will likely hear his name called in the opening selections for the 2014 NHL Draft on Friday evening. He will be the third Reinhart sibling to hear his named called at the podium, as older brothers Max (Calgary, 64th overall, 2010) and Griffin (NYI, 4th overall, 2012) are already property of NHL teams. The youngest Reinhart has been on the NHL’s radar since his rookie season in the Western Hockey League, where he set a franchise record for points with the Kootenay Ice as a 16-year-old. Since then, he’s added some impressive accomplishments to his ever-expanding resume. And professional scouts have certainly taken notice. Reinhart is at the top of most lists—he holds down the third overall spot in the North American Skaters category with NHL’s Central Scouting bureau, while occupying first overall in the International Scouting Service (ISS) rankings.
“The media hype is true, because he is everything in a player that you want. He’s smart defensively, he puts himself in a position to get pucks back—not only to get them back himself, but to get them back for other players. He anticipates the play tremendously. Ryan McGill He’s in some pretty elite company, with roughly four or five players who could justifiably get the first overall selection on Friday. Aaron Ekblad (Barrie Colts, OHL), Leon Draisaitl (Prince Albert, WHL), Sam Bennett (Kingston, OHL) and Michael Dal Colle (Oshawa, OHL) are all in the running to hear their name first once the draft kicks off. Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill said all the attention on his star centre is certainly warranted. “The media hype is true, because he is everything in a player that you want,” McGill said. “He’s smart defensively, he puts himself in a position to get pucks back—not only to get them back himself, but to get them back
for other players. He anticipates the play tremendously. “With all those attributes, I think the biggest thing that I see that sets him apart from a lot of players, even on this team, is his will to win and his competitiveness is unbelievable.” Stepping into the spotlight Reinhart has been to Florida once as a kid. Never to Buffalo. However, he could end up in either place, as the former holds the first overall pick, with the latter owning the second selection. But that’s never a sure thing considering the potential for draft-day trades. And, as mentioned, there is no consensus on the order of who could go where at the top end of the first round. But he has lived vicariously through that kind of experience, watching Griffin go fourth overall to the Islanders at the 2012 NHL Draft in Pittsburgh and even earlier, with Max getting picked up in the third round by Calgary in 2010. He’s only had to look to his siblings to see how they dealt with their emotions leading up to, and on, draft day. “It’s not so much talking with them, it’s more watching from a distance and seeing how they handle certain situations,” said Reinhart. “We all handle them pretty similarly, and don’t let it distract us too much.” He’s used to being in the spotlight, especially this year during an Ice road trip when he returned to his hometown of Vancouver to much media fanfare clamouring to talk about his draft-status. “I’ve been able to block it out for the most part and do what you have to do, from a media standpoint,” Reinhart said. “You have to keep that in the back of your head, right afterwards it’s definitely out of your system and when it’s time to go on the ice and play, I’m not thinking about that stuff.” Much has been made about Ekblad, the Barrie Colts rearguard who could be the first defenceman in over a decade to be chosen with the first-overall selection. Reinhart his familiar with his OHL counterpart, having played with him on the U18 and U20 national teams. “He’s a nice guy, a good guy to be around,” said Reinhart. “I roomed with him a couple years ago at U18 camp in Toronto, so I got to know him there, and obviously, with the World Juniors, I became a lot closer to him. “We’re really familiar with each other, we’re good buddies and we still talk through-

His father, Paul, is a retired professional hockey player, spending 12 years in the NHL with the Calgary Flames and the Vancouver Canucks. Three sons, Max, Griffin and Sam were born within three years of each other, and all eventually began following in their father’s footsteps. Max was first, selected by the Kootenay Ice in the fourth round of the 2007 Bantam Draft, while Griffin was taken third overall two years later by the modern Edmonton Oil Kings franchise. The youngest sibling got his shot in 2010, when the Ice—the same team who took Max three years prior—scooped him up 15th overall in the first round. He made his WHL debut with the team

during their playoff run to the WHL championship in 2011, and joined the club full time after the summer. His 28 goals and 34 assists set a new franchise record for rookie scoring, and he was awarded with WHL rookie of the year honours. He captured a bronze medal with Canada’s U18 team in 2012 offseason, but took gold at the same event a year later, and also at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. He continued his torrid scoring pace in his second year with the Ice, tallying 35 goals and 50 assists for 85 points in 72 games in 2013. In addition to his natural talent on the ice, Reinhart was also recognized for his leadership abilities, being named an alternate captain, and eventually, team captain for the 2013/14 season.
Crunching the numbers It goes without saying that this last season was a big one for Reinhart. With a late birthday (Nov. 6th, 1995), Reinhart had an extra year to develop, extending his draft eligibility to 2014, rather than the year before. He continued to burn up the scoresheet, collecting 36 goals and 69 assists for 105 points—tying a franchise record set by Ice alumn Jarret Stoll, who is currently enjoying a professional NHL career with the Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings.

Holding onto Faith after tough season Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor
After undergoing shoulder surgery in January, Tanner Faith was given the option to go home to Saskatchewan or stay and rehab with the team. The Kootenay Ice defenceman elected to remain in Cranbrook. “I live in Wilcox, and there are only 300 people there,” said Faith, in an interview after exit meetings with the team. “I’d rather be here, I guess.” It’s hard not to feel for the 18-year-old blueliner, who only suited up 10 times in a 72-game schedule for the Ice last season after injuring his shoulder early in the campaign. “I got to watch a lot and see other teams play and see us play,” said Faith. “I guess learning from the stands is a different perspective on the game, so I take that out of it. “I just try to be as positive as I can.” In just his seventh game of the 2013/14 campaign, Faith went awkwardly into the end boards during a tilt against the Seattle Thunderbirds. He missed the next 21 games—a month and a half—before getting back into action. Three games later, during a contest against the Vancouver Giants at the Pacific Coliseum, he went down again in another collision. It’s especially frustrating, considering this is his first year of NHL draft eligibility. Faith, in his sophomore year with the club, gained a lot of attention after being paired up with team captain Joey Leach

Kootenay Ice defenceman Tanner Faith is NHL draft-eligible this year, but he missed most of the season due to injury. in the latter half of the 2012/13 season. Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill said Faith learned a lot under Leach, which helped develop the confidence to play and excel in the WHL. “His confidence level last year, from Christmas to the end of the year, was tremendous,” said McGill. “We were very excited for him to come in this year and he got hurt early, and it was unfortu-
nate—nothing we could do about it.” Faith’s performance was enough to make scouts take notice, and he billed as a prospect to watch by the Central Scouting bureau for for the following year. Unfortunately, the injuries put a damper on that. However, Central Scouting has kept Faith on the list as a prospect under the Limited Viewing category. “It’s obviously nice to see myself show up on the list after only playing 10 games this year,” said Faith, “so it’s only limited viewing, but it gives me a bit of confidence and something to look forward to.” While he hasn’t had a lot of opportunity to develop the offensive side of his game, he isn’t afraid to use his size to play a physical, shutdown role. McGill isn’t surprised that NHL scouts have been eyeing up Faith. “He’s got terrific size and with his terrific size comes really good skating ability and I think that’s one of the biggest things they really like. His skill level, his passing, is good,” McGill said. “Obviously, every defenceman needs to learn how to read the rush properly and make those right reads, and that will come with maturity and with games and playing more.” The Ice head coach admits his defenceman has a lot of upside. “He has a lot of tools,” McGill said. “The biggest thing for him is to stay healthy, and the biggest words out of scouts’ mouths—and even out of our mouths here—is he has all the potential to be a good player.”

Lincecum pitches no-hitter, leads Giants to 4-0 win
SAN FRANCISCO - Tim Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres in less than a year, allowing only one runner Wednesday and leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win. Lincecum totally shut down the weakest-hitting team in the majors, striking out six and walking one. San Francisco fielders didn’t need to make any exceptional plays to preserve Lincecum’s gem. Lincecum (6-5) threw 113 pitches for this win. Last July 13 at San Diego, he threw 148 pitches while holding the Padres hitless. The 30-year-old right-hander became just the second pitcher in major league history to twice nohit the same team. Addie Joss did it for Cleveland against the Chicago White Sox in 1908 and again in 1910. This was the third no-hitter this season. Josh Beckett and Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers previously threw them. Associated Press
Johnston leaves WHL to coach Pittsburgh Penguins PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Penguins are turning to former NHL assistant Mike Johnston as the team’s new head coach. The Penguins introduced Johnston at a press conference Wednesday. He replaces Dan Bylsma, who was fired on June 6. Johnston spent the past six years with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League. He previously served as an associate head coach with the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings and Vancouver Canucks. Johnston leaves the WHL with a coaching record of 224-116-11-10. Canadian Press
Ice captain brings impressive resume to NHL Draft Continued from page 8 His 69 assists set a franchise record, beating Stoll’s old one, and he set another one with a 22-game assist streak. “I think consistency is the biggest thing, being your best every night. If you look at the pro players these days, they don’t take a night off and that’s the biggest thing I’ve been focusing on the last few years,” said Reinhart. “I think this year in particular, I made a big jump with that.” His performance in the WHL raised eyebrows, and he made rosters for CHL events and Canada’s U20 national team. Reinhart was named to the WHL’s roster for the Subway Super Series, and he also suited up in the CHL’s Top Prospects game. However, the crown jewel of his accomplishments this year was making Team Canada and competing in the World Junior Championship alongside his older brother Griffin. After a disappointing fourth-place finish by the Canadians, Reinhart returned to the Ice and elevated his game, leading the

club into the first-round of the playoffs where he handily dismantled the Calgary Hitmen defence and posted 17 points in six games. Despite building a 3-1 series lead against the Medicine Hat Tigers, the Tabbies mounted a comeback and won Game 7 to knock the Ice out of the second round of the WHL playoffs. Reinhart was recognized as the WHL Player of the Year, beating out Mitch Holmberg of the Spokane Chiefs, and also won Most Sportsmanlike Player honours, picking up the same award at the CHL level, beating out nominees from the OHL and QMJHL. After the season ended, he even got an invite to go to training camp with Canada’s men’s team for the World Championship, where he got a taste of how professional hockey players conduct themselves on and off the ice.

slim. With the realities of a post-salary cap NHL world, younger players are increasingly making the jump into professional hockey, especially the ones who are chosen at the top of the first round. It’s not a sure thing that Reinhart will stick in the NHL next year, but his odds are pretty good. But even if he does make it, there will always be room for improvement. “Like every other player at this age, they got to get quicker, faster and stronger, without losing their ability to become slower,” said McGill. “So not necessarily getting bigger, it’s just stronger and faster and a little bit of a change of pace with the puck. “He’s got real good speed, he’s got real good power, the real good players develop a change of pace to create some deception against the opponent.” The NHL Draft will be split into two parts this year at the Wells Fargo Centre, with the first round on Friday evening, followed by the rest of them on Saturday.

Messi scores twice, leads Argentina to the top of Group F ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARGENTINA 3 NIGERIA 2 PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil - Argentina beat Nigeria 3-2 in their last World Cup group match on Wednesday, with Lionel Messi and Ahmed Musa scoring two goals each before Marcos Rojo kneed in the winner. Argentina won Group F while Nigeria also advanced despite the loss. Messi scored in the third minute, slamming in the rebound after Angel Di Maria’s shot bounced off the post. Nigeria replied within a minute as Musa cut in from the left and beat Sergio Romero with a curling shot toward the far post. Messi’s perfectly hooked free kick restored the lead for Argentina just before halftime. The second half started at the same furious pace as the first as Musa scored his second and Rojo made it 3-2

face Lionel Messi and Argentina on Tuesday in Sao Paulo. Shaqiri scored his first goal in the sixth minute, dribbling into a crowd of defenders and curling a shot into the net off the underside of the crossbar. In the 31st, he collected a pass from Josip Drmic after a de-
fensive error and easily beat Honduras goalkeeper Noel Valladares. Shaqiri completed his hat trick in the 71st. Drmic did well to beat Honduras defender Victor Bernardez on the left and pass to a charging Shaqiri, who one-timed his shot past a diving Valladares.

the post-season with 13 points in as many games. Central Scouting had him ranked as the second-highest Kootenay Ice player behind Reinhart, finishing the season as the 80th overall North American skater—a jump from 125th at the mid-season rankings. Only two places up from Philp on the CSS rankings is Russian defenceman Rinat Valiev, who holds the 82nd spot. Despite a hiccup with his Visa at the start of the season, Valiev suited up the day he arrived in Canada, appearing in a game against the Edmonton Oil Kings at Rexall Centre, where he promptly scored an own-goal after attempting to clear the puck on a sharp angle behind the net. However, Valiev became an important part of the defensive corps, adding experience—he attended training camp with
Sam Reinhart may dominate the draft talk around the Kootenay Ice, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few diamonds in the rough. The Kootenay Ice captain has been on the NHL’s radar since coming into the WHL full-time as a 16-year-old three seasons ago, but a few of his teammates may yet get the chance to hear their name at the draft on Friday night in Philadelphia. Luke Philp, who shares the exact same birthdate as Reinhart, is eligible for the draft this year, and he’s certainly made a case for himself. Philp was a point-per-game player this year, and found chemistry with Tim Bozon and Austin Vetterl to tally 31 goals and 46 assists in 71 outings. He kept up his offensive production in
the Dallas Stars before coming to Cranbrook—and some offensive flair. He tallied 28 points in 55 games, and posted nine more in the playoffs. He also took part in the Subway Super Series, playing one game with the Russian national squad against Team WHL. For Jaedon Descheneau, it will be his second time through the draft process, however, he hit the CSS list this time, coming in at 95th overall—climbing up from the 125th spot at the mid-season rankings. It’s hard to ignore the season he had. The diminutive Kootenay triggerman posted 44 goals—the most since Steve Da Silva’s 40-goal performance in 2008—and collected 98 points. Descheneau was the third-highest goal-scorer in the Eastern Conference, and led the Ice with 16 powerplay goals.

Two doctors found for Kaslo Nelson Star
Two permanent, fulltime physicians have committed to Kaslo over the last two weeks, bringing the village to a full complement. “This is fantastic news for residents of Kaslo and area,” Andrew Neuner, Interior Health’s vice-president of community integration, said in a news release. “I’m proud of the work our Interior Health team and the Kaslo and Area D health care select committee, mayor and council and the community have done in successfully recruiting these new physicians. This was a challenging process at times, but in the end it was truly a team effort that made these recruitments possible.” Interior Health pledged to find new physicians for the community in March 2013, after two physicians announced they were leaving their positions, one to open a private clinic. Dr. Isabelle-Anne Fontaine started her regular schedule at Victorian Community Health Centre on June 16 and Dr. Ben Allen officially joins the Kaslo team on September 15. Both physicians have done a number of shifts at the health centre over the last few months prior to officially signing permanent contracts and Dr. Allen will be doing additional shifts in Kaslo over the summer. The new physicians will support primary health care and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekday emergency department services in the community. “We’re very fortunate to have found two highly-skilled physicians with diverse and impressive backgrounds who will provide excellent care to local residents,” said Dr. Curtis Bell, Interior Health’s community medical director. “Both physicians are a great fit for the community and having two permanent physicians brings stability to our services for patients of the Kaslo area.” Interior Health did not, however, indicate any plans to return to
round-the-clock emergency room coverage, which was reduced to daytime weekday hours only as of April. Dr. Fontaine came to BC from Quebec and has been a family physician since 2007. Over the past six years, she practiced at the Family Medicine Unit in Levis, Que., teaching and supervising medical residents in family medicine. She has experience with geriatric patients in long term care units and has a particular interest in palliative care. Dr. Allen is originally from West Texas and received his medical training in Virginia. He is board certified in family practice in both the United States and Canada and is the 1988 recipient of the Lloyd Damsey Medal for Family Practice. He has practiced both primary care and emergency medicine at clinics, health units and military bases throughout North America, Asia and Africa. Both physicians have an interest in rural medicine and are coming to Kaslo for the professional and personal opportunities the community has to offer. “On behalf of the Kaslo and Area D health care select committee and the residents of Kaslo and North Kootenay Lake, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to Dr. Isabelle-Anne Fontaine and Dr. Ben Allen,” said Maggie Winters, a committee member and leading champion of local health care. “We look forward to collaborating with Drs. Fontaine and Allen, and Interior Health staff on developing and implementing strategies to ensure a stable, vibrant and responsive health care delivery system going forward.” Several physicians have been supporting the community as the search for permanent placements continued, including Dr. Fen Smit and Dr. Annemarie de Koker, who have indicated they will continue to provide locum coverage. In a statement, Interior Health also thanks Kaslo and area residents for their patience during the process.

Teachers’ employer seeks essential designation for summer school C ANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s halfa-million public school students got a two week jump on their holidays, but some may still end up cracking open the books this summer. As the teachers’ strike and lockout drags into a second week, their employer has requested that the B.C.
Labour Relations Board add summer school and year-round school to the essential services order. The BC Public School Employers’ Association asked the board on Tuesday to compel teachers back to classrooms across the province for specific programs involving more vulnerable students.
The application asks that the board deem as essential summer remedial programs — for students who have failed a high school course — as well as teaching at custodial facilities and in hospitals. The employer also wants to add five schools operating on a yearround calendar to the essential designation.
A board hearing date hasn’t been set and there’s no certainty around when a decision will be rendered, said the tribunal’s information officer Guy Pocklington. The governments’ bargaining arm has said for weeks it will end its lockout so teachers can hold all summer school classes. BC Teachers’

Federation president Jim Iker has so far refused to say what edict it will give union members, aside from respecting the specifics of any labour board ruling. On Wednesday, teachers on the picket lines were swapping their “on strike’’ signs to read “locked out’’ as the government implemented its planned shut down of schools for the next three days. Secondary school teachers were to be locked out Wednesday and Thursday, with an extension to elementary schools on Friday. Collective bargaining was not planned for Wednesday, but the two sides committed to “exploratory talks’’ in order to discuss a “way forward’’ that includes the union’s call for a mediator.
The provincial government has put aside money for its communications strategy around the full-scale strike that began on June 17. The Education Ministry, meantime, has so far spent about 30 per cent of the $80,000 budgeted, said spokesman Scott Sutherland. That amount has paid for a Facebook ad and full-cover wrapper ad for a free local daily in Vancouver, he said. “We’ve budgeted $80,000 total for a primarily online information campaign. We certainly don’t expect to spend that amount, and so far, about a quarter of that has been committed,’’ he said. The ads included a graphic used by Minister Peter Fassbender last week to illustrate the salary and benefits set-
Government introduces new rules to mark dangerous goods on rail, roads C ANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Transport Minister Lisa Raitt says Canada will bring in new regulations next month dealing with identifying dangerous goods transported by road or rail.
She says the new rules will harmonize Canadian and American rules to provide cross-border consistency. They will give emergency teams a clear understanding of the risks
City Hall - 340 Spokane Street, Attention: Manager, Planning Services, Kimberley, BC V1A 2E8 The purchase and sale of each property is subject to the following terms and conditions: 1.
each property will be sold to the highest bidder above the specified minimum price or, if there is no offer above the minimum price, the bidder at the minimum price whose offer complies with the terms and conditions of this Notice;
2.
each property is to be sold on an “as is, where is” basis and prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the condition of the property;
3.
prospective purchasers must also satisfy themselves as to whether any of the charges registered against title to the property will have any effect on the proposed use or development of the property;
4.
all offers submitted which do not meet or exceed the specified minimum price will be rejected;

tlement achieved with 150,000 members of public-sector unions versus the government’s calculation of what the teachers’ federation has proposed. The image of outer space depicts what the government has labelled the “affordability zone’’ — at about seven per cent — and shows the teachers’ request of 14.5 per cent out in orbit. The Facebook ad has since been softened, Sutherland said, with removal of the space graphic that was quickly condemned by teachers on social media. A signing bonus of $1,200 will be handed to teachers if a negotiated agreement is reached by June 30. The teachers’ union has asked that be bumped to $5,000.

posed by dangerous goods in the event of an accident. The changes clarify how danger signs are used to identify shipments of certain classes of dangerous goods, such as pool chemicals, propane and acetone, contained in small packages. They also introduce new safety marks to identify organic peroxides, marine pollutants and other dangerous goods transported in limited quantities. The rules will go into effect July 14. “The changes I’m announcing today will create a safer environment for the movement of goods that are necessary in a strong, developed economy,’’ Raitt said. Transport regulations require safety marks to be displayed on trucks, rail cars and bulk containers used to transport dangerous goods. The safety marks identify the presence of the dangerous goods and the nature of the risk they pose. The changes will clarify the criteria under which safety mark must be displayed, the department said.

Commons’ Sense
A project of the Kootenay Co-op
“As soon as Nelson Commons came up for sale, we put our names down for a unit. A lot of it has to do with the location—you can do your shopping, and so much more, without having to get in the car and drive.” Talking with John and Marlene Lerbscher, it seems that most people are buying into Nelson Commons for the same reasons. John and Marlene have been Kootenay residents for decades, but they’ve also spent chunks of time in big cities where they’ve learned to appreciate the virtues of all that downtown living offers. John’s an avid skier and a passholder at Whitewater Resort. He also heads off on a couple trips to other ski areas every winter. Marlene added: “When John’s away, he can feel more at peace knowing that I can just go downstairs to the Co-op to get whatever I need.” John is a chemist and he’s taken a “scientific” approach and documented all the environmental and economic benefits of living at the Commons. He points out that high-density living significantly reduces one’s carbon footprint and that their monthly cost will be significantly lower than what they are paying now for their house, which is outside of Nelson. As they both get a little older, the prospect of almost maintenance-free living is a big deal for John and Marlene as well. Not having to shovel out a driveway after a storm (and just 22 minutes from Whitewater!), the ability to “lock and leave” when they go on vacation, and proximity to medical clinics, great restaurants and the movie theatre are some of the many reasons for them. John and Marlene are also big fans of Nelson and everything that will be nearby. “And it’s a four-season town—it’s not a one trick pony,” John added.
A variety of units are still available. Visit the Display Suite & Sales Office at 621 Vernon St, 12:00 to 5:00, Wednesday to Sunday (or call to book an appointment).

lthough I have not yet been, Morocco is on my ‘list’ and I intend to travel there someday. Set in the northwestern extremity of the African continent, Morocco is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, Algeria and Mauritania. Europe lies practically a stone’s throw away, just across the Strait of Gibraltar. The population of Morocco is more than 23 million. The climate is temperate to warm. The official language is Arabic. The tourist language is French. I have been told by others that Morocco is ‘different’, not like Africa, not like Europe. Is it the beauty of the sunset or the perfume of the roses, the taste of the mint tea, the bustle of the souks,

the generosity of the Moroccans, that sets it apart? Is it Islam, the Sahara Desert, the Berber drums, the kasbah in Ouarzazate? Casablanca with its skyscrapers and broad thoroughfares represents Morocco of the 20th century, Morocco on the road to progress. Dominating the Western Mediterranean a few kilometres from Europe and firmly united with Africa, from earliest times Morocco has experienced greatness due to its strategic position. Marrakech is known as the “Red City”, and is the most important former imperial city in Mo-
rocco’s history. The main square bustles with acrobats, storytellers, water sellers, dancers and musicians. By night, food stalls open, turning it into a huge, busy open-air restaurant. The city of Marrakesh is near the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. There’s a peak near there, Toubkal, that I want to climb! After over 40 years as a French Protectorate, King Hassan II applied himself to constructing a modern state. He said, “Morocco takes care not to live in the past. It only uses its past as a source from which to draw the great examples and
teaching which can lead it towards the future.” The present king Mohammad VI is 46 years old and is very popular amongst the Moroccans as he has developed programs for health and education. Morocco’s system of government follows French law modelled after French parliament. This research has whet my appetite to travel to Morocco. I look forward to another ‘great adventure’! Maybe you can join me! For more information, contact Carla Nelson, Branch Manager, Maritime Travel, downtown Cranbrook, 250489-4788.
Bolivia government switches clocks to turn to the left C ARLOS VALDEZ Associated Press
LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivia’s leftist government is turning back the clock. Or, more precisely, turning it backward. The government this week flipped the clock atop the Congress building so that while it’s accurate, the hands now turn to the left, a direction known elsewhere as counterclockwise. Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca announced the modification Tuesday. He said it was only logical that a clock in the Southern Hemisphere should turn in the opposite direction of a Northern Hemisphere clock. Vice-President Alvaro Garcia said
the government is thinking about similarly modifying all clocks at public institutions. He recalled that during an open-air Cabinet meeting, Choquehuanca placed a stick in the ground and showed that the sun’s shadow rotated counterclockwise around it. Garcia called the display “mind opening.’’ Morales has made other attempts to shed colonial influence, giving native Andean beliefs equal weight with Christianity. His friend and ally, the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, made a similar shift in 2006, redesigning his nation’s flag so a galloping white horse featured on it faces left instead of right.

Kevin couldn’t believe what the backhoe operator was telling him: he might have a residential oil tank buried in his back yard! Two years ago, Kevin purchased his house from the original homeowner. All was good….until his first spring introduced him to a leaky basement. Next spring, leaks again, so he called a contractor. The best source of action and prevention was to excavate to below the footings, seal the foundation with membrane, install drain rock and drain tile, then backfill ensuring the grade ran away from the house.
ground.) According to the Ministry of Environment, “if you buy a home with a heating oil tank, knowingly, or not, you become potentially liable for any future cleanup costs.” This was certainly news to Kevin, and not good. In fact, he hadn’t received disclosure about an oil tank from either the homeowner or his home inspection.
Under his contractor’s advice, Kevin called his insurance company, checked out the Ministry of Environment’s website (and called the local office), and spoke to a company that deals with oil tank removal. The insurance company was clear, the tank had While digging, the backhoe operator came to go (they viewed it as a high risk and if it across an old oil line remained and Kevin had and vent pipe and was a claim, the claim could concerned it was to a be disallowed). Any oil buried oil tank. (Years left in the tank would ago, many homes had oil heat and tanks were have to be pumped commonly stored under- out and disposed of by experts. If the tank was
leaking there could be soil contamination to deal with not only on his own property but any neighboring property that was affected. What started out as a project to fix a leaky basement now had the potential to cost thousands more and once there is knowledge of a buried oil tank, it has to be dealt with. Carefully, the backhoe operator removed more and more soil. Much to Kevin’s relief, no tank was found. The previous owners had removed the tank, and for some unknown reason left the line and vent. Kevin now has a water tight basement and peace of mind there are no “skeletons” in his back yard.

aq’am Community Enterprises holds its first AGM Submit ted
On June 12, 2014 the St. Mary’s Band development corporation, aq’am Community Enterprises (ACE) held its first Annual General Meeting. The AGM was a meeting of the St. Mary’s Band Chief and Council, who act as shareholders to the corporation, and ACE’s Board of Directors. The day marked an important step for the Community’s ambitions and progress in economic development. “Well done to the whole team,” said Community Chief Jim Whitehead who was in attendance at the AGM. “The Community is taking giant leaps forward through business development directly related to Community’s Vision.” Chief Whitehead addressed the participants and ACE Board throughout the meeting and commended the Community’s business partners and staff on the positive impact they are creating for his Community. ACE is the development corporation for the St. Mary’s Band, a Ktunaxa Nation Community. ACE’s mandate was formed by the Chief and Council of the Band which is to generate rev-
enue and create economic opportunities through sound business practices and strategic relationships built upon a foundation of fairness and integrity. The Corporation was established to generate own-source revenue for the Band so that Council can create positive impact for their Community in direct relation to the Community’s Strategic Plan. “aq’am Community Enterprises is just starting out but we’ve accomplished so much already,” stated Becky Pelkonen, Director of Community and Economic Development. “Through the corporation we strive to act as investors and business leaders throughout the region. We form strategic partnerships and businesses that will create a direct benefit to the Community and its citizens.” The AGM was attended by members of the St. Mary’s Band Chief and Council, the ACE Board of Directors, Community Members, key staff people, and strategic business partners. Topics on the Agenda included a review of ACE’s Annual Report and Financials, an update on the corporation’s strategic business
plan and activities for 2014, and a vote of the Directors on the Board Chair. The Board is one appointed by the St. Mary’s Band Council and includes Dallas Cardinal, Robert Williams, Dave Savage, and Marion Eunson. The Directors voted in Dallas Cardinal as the ACE Board Chair. “I’ve been involved with the Community’s economic development planning prior to the corporate division being established,” said Dallas Cardinal, ACE Board
Chair. “It is so great to now see the direct implementation of the plan we created a few years back and I’m proud to have the opportunity to lead the Board to further corporate success.” ACE is now in its second full year of operations and is working collaboratively with its current business partners including but not limited to MDG Contracting Services, Allnorth Engineering Consultants, and Arctic Arrow Powerline Group.

Electoral Area B Volunteer of the Year recognized For the Townsman
Sarann Press was recognized as the 2014 Electoral Area B Volunteer of the Year in Grasmere Sunday night. “We were thrilled to be able to present the Area B Volunteer of the Year Award to Sarann at the 4H Club’s Achievement Night as she has dedicated over 12 years to developing young leaders in our community through 4H,” says RDEK Electoral Area B Director Heath Slee. “Sarann is an outstanding leader who is committed to making a difference in the community and it is wonderful to be able to recognize her with this Award.” Currently, Press is the regional and district 4H president and is the Beef Leader. She balances her numerous volunteer commitments while balancing a full time job, and a young
family. “Sarann gives endlessly for the good of our youth and her influence extends well beyond the South Country, touching lives all the way up
the Elk Valley and beyond. It is an honour to recognize Sarann, and to thank her for all she gives to Area B and our region,” adds Slee. The RDEK made the
presentation to Press at the annual South Country Crafts and Critters 4H Club Achievement Night, which was held Sunday night at the Pioneer Hall in Grasmere.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Others could find you to be unusually inquisitive, as you seek out many answers. You might get a lot more information than you originally had anticipated. Some of what is shared could be significant at a later point. Tonight: Make it an early night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be trying to solidify a money matter. You could feel out of sorts when dealing with someone who does not understand the liabilities of a situation, but who considers him- or herself an expert. Move on, and you will be happier. Tonight: Your treat. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Find out what is happening with someone who might be intentionally avoiding you. Consider an opportunity elsewhere. Let go of the present problem, and make it a non-issue. You will be valued more if you leave this situation behind. Tonight: Buy a token of affection.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel overwhelmed by a situation. Recognize that you have been overthinking it. Listen to news with a more open mind, as you will need to gain a different perspective. Talk to others, and curb a need to always be right. Tonight: Nap, then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone will be very inquisitive, and he or she could evoke your suspicions. This person doesn’t have a deep motive, but is simply curious. You might not be aware of the impression you make on others. You are far more intriguing than you realize. Tonight: Follow your friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to rethink a decision with an eye on expenses. You have the capacity to want to spend, but you also are able say “no.” A parent might share his or her opinions and put you in a difficult situation. Make plans later in the day. Tonight: Where your friends are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be overwhelmed by
Tundra
an option that you had not even considered. Reach out for more information, and touch base with someone at a distance. This person has a lot of questions for you that you will need to answer. Tonight: Consider a unique idea. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be confused by what someone is saying. Understand that this person has difficulty relating to others. Try to help him or her focus on the main issues. You also could decide not to deal with this situation right now. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to allow someone who feels as if he or she has the most understanding to come up with an idea. Listen to news with an open mind. Others keep seeking you out; let them take the lead. Tonight: Go with the best idea! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, and complete as much as you can. A brainstorming session could throw you off schedule, but it will be worth
it. What emerges as a result of this conversation could lead to a great idea. You will want to mull this conversation over several times. Tonight: Play it relaxed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Allow your ingenuity to come out. Listen to news, even if you do not think you will like what you hear. Do not forget about a loved one -- your calls mean a lot to this person. Your advice is likely to help him or her get past a hassle. Tonight: Slow down just a little. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay more centered with a family member. A real estate matter might come to the forefront. You could hear a lot of good news when you decide to open up a conversation. Your authenticity marks your interpersonal interactions. Tonight: Head out on the town. BORN TODAY Baseball player Derek Jeter (1974), author Pearl S. Buck (1892), actor Sean Hayes (1970) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband had an affair for three years. I had no idea this was going on until he told me and filed for divorce. We have two teenage children, and I haven’t talked very much with them about the situation. I’ve never mentioned his girlfriend. I don’t even know whether he is still seeing the woman. My daughter, who is 18, told me that she’s been asked by others whether one of us cheated and that’s why we are divorcing. I skirted the question and asked how she replied to this, and she said, “I told them it was none of their business.” She never asked me outright whether this is what happened in our case, so I didn’t tell her. I don’t know whether or not I should say anything. Should I tell them to ask their father? After all, it’s not really my information to share. What happens if it comes up later and Dad decides to bring his girlfriend to a family event? That would devastate me. I think it would be good to have all of the information out in the open before that happens. My daughter has a great deal of disdain for people who cheat on their spouses, and I don’t want to hurt the excellent relationship she now has with her father. The two of them have become very close since we separated, and I’m glad about that. Part of me wants to tell my children now and get it out of the way. I don’t want my daughter to think I’m giving her information in order to “get her on my side.” But I also don’t want her to be angry with me for withholding information that other family members know about. What do you say? -- Worrier Dear Worrier: If your daughter asks directly whether one of you cheated, you should be honest without sounding bitter. But it seems as though she may not actually want to know. If her fears are confirmed, she may feel forced to distance herself from Dad. Should she find out later from other relatives and blame you for withholding the information, simply tell her that you didn’t want to damage the close relationship she had with her father, which is a commendable stance to take. We think she will forgive you. Dear Annie: My husband and I recently received an invitation from “Debbie” to a cocktail party celebrating her high school graduation. We don’t know Debbie, but her grandmother used to work for our business. We aren’t sure how to respond. Normally a gift is expected, yet we don’t feel it’s appropriate, being that we have never met her and don’t know her parents, either. Is it appropriate to just send a card? Do we just ignore the invitation? -- Questioning Congrad-ulations Dear Questioning: Please don’t ignore an invitation to any event where the hostess may be counting heads to ensure sufficient food and drink. But you are not obligated to give a graduation gift to someone so distantly connected. A card of congratulations is perfectly appropriate and more than enough. Dear Annie: I read your column every day and have felt the pain of so many parents whose children are estranged. When my wife and I separated a decade ago, my daughter refused to communicate with me. Birthday cards and gifts were returned unopened. I finally received a terse reply to an email, saying she does not want anything more to do with me. She will not tell me her reasons. She also won’t tell her mother or brother so they could pass the information on to me. This has been hurtful, but I have accepted her decision. I honestly believe the children who treat their parents or grandparents this way are the losers. I am now happily remarried to a wonderful woman and have two great stepdaughters who love me very much. My life is wonderful. -- A Happy Old Man Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear wife and mother Gail Jensen on June 20, 2014. Gail lost her battle with Cancer and peacefully slipped away while in the comfort of her home with her family present. Gail was born on January 4, 1950. She was predeceased by her parents Doris and George and her sister Marilyn. She is survived by her husband of 42 years Jim, her daughters Diana (Ryan) James and Laurie (Cory Fedorwick) Jensen, her grandchildren Keira and Brylie James, as well as her sisters, brother-in-laws, sister-inlaws, nephews and nieces. We especially remember Gail for her spunky nature and her gracious and enthusiastic giving of herself to her family and friends. She was small in size but large in life and was fond of talking “at length� with anyone that would listen to her, as her many customers at M&M Meats will remember! Gail loved the outdoors and spent countless hours with her family and friends fishing and hunting and loved camping along with those great card games, star gazing and discussions around the campfires. A memorial service for Gail will be held at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook on Friday, July 4, 2014 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a memorial donation in her honour may do so to the: East Kootenay S.P.C.A., PO Box 2, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 4H6. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

February 5, 1924 ~ June 7, 2014 William (Bill) Russell passed away, after a lengthy illness, on June 7, 2014 at the age of 90 years. Bill was born to parents Jessie and Thomas Russell on February 5, 1924 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He received his education at the University of Edinburgh. Bill met and married Frances Mary (Molly) Bentley after only six months of courting; they were married on St. Patrick’s Day, a Scotsman marrying an English woman in St. Melons Church, Wales. U.K. Represented. Bill served in the British Army from 1943-1947 in Europe. After this, he became a colliery manager and was sent to India from 1951 – 1955. When he returned to Scotland, he continued as a colliery manager for three different mines. In November 1965, he emigrated to Canada and accepted a position with Cominco in Kimberley, BC – Sullivan Mine. He achieved high acclaim for his development with explosives, making them safer to work with. In 1985, Bill retired and they moved to Kaslo brieà y and then settled in Creston, BC – the one place he could call home. Bill was a good golfer - he wished he’d taken the sport up earlier! He was also an excellent bridge player and really enMoyed Àshing on St. Mary’s River. Bill had a soft spot for animals and always had pets around. He really loved his cat and dog and contributed to BCSPCA his whole time in Canada. Bill will be lovingly remembered by his wife of seventy years, Molly; three daughters, Patricia Audet of WinÀeld, BC, Carole Cleverly of Cranbrook, BC, and Linda Russell of Nelson, BC; grandson David Sprecker of Kelowna, BC and great-granddaughter Breanna of Kelowna, BC.

B.C. energy future not black and white but shades of grey: Minister Bill Bennett Dene Moore Canadian Press
VANCOUVER — Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the B.C. government remains committed to clean energy but the future of the province’s power industry is more shades of grey than black and white. In a Tuesday speech at the annual general meeting of Clean Energy B.C., the minister assured members repeatedly of their place in the provincial power grid. But he admittedly had to reach back several years for industry highlights. “The point in harkening back to the things our government has done is certainly not to brag about it. It’s just to provide a friendly reminder that we have helped create what we have today,’’ Bennett told about 75 people at the noon-time speech. “We are in your camp and we will continue to work with you.’’ There are 82 clean energy projects in B.C. that account for 20 per cent of the province’s current electrical sup-
ply. His speech, however, had more to say about the opportunity ahead for mining and liquefied natural gas. There could be as many as 10 mining projects under construction in the province by 2017 “if we do things in an expedited kind of way, an efficient kind of way,’’ Bennett said. LNG is a moving piece of the province’s future, he said. There are 13 proposals on the table. While there is no final investment decision on a major project, both Chevron and Shell have spent about $2 billion each so far on developing plans. “You don’t spend $2 billion unless you’ve got something worthwhile,’’ Bennett said. “We don’t know how big it’s going to be. We know it’s going to be big.’’ Bennett said he expects that an LNG facility will be under construction in 16 to 18 months. The massive Site C hydroelectric project was the “elephant in the

room,’’ the minister said. Government should know the first week of September whether the dam will receive federal and provincial environ-
mental assessment approval and Bennett said he’ll have to make a recommendation to cabinet. No decision has been
made yet, he said. He pointed out that the Treaty 8 First Nations — whose territory also happens to cover the epicentre of B.C.’s
natural gas bounty — are opposed to the dam that will flood the Peace River Valley. “It won’t be black and white,’’ Bennett
said. “It won’t be a really easy decision for cabinet to make. I think there’s a lot of shades of grey on this one.’’
