The grim reality of Cranbrook’s doctor shortage Patients such as Richard Borho are unable to find a family physician in Cranbrook, despite needing a liver and kidney transplant SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Cranbrook’s chronic physician shortage, where nearly 4,000 people are without a family doctor, is having different effects on different orphaned patients.

While for some of those patients who have this year found themselves unable to find a family doctor, the problem means long waits at the hospital for simple treatment of a cold or flu, for others it has life-threatening

ramifications.

One of those patients is Richard Borho, who is suffering from liver failure and kidney failure, and this month lost both his family doctor – Dr. Rina Fourie at the Associate Clinic — and his kidney

specialist – Dr. Karen Bronn, who was based out of East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

Borho, 47, needs a kidney transplant and a liver transplant, said his mother Diane McKay, who added that his spleen is no longer function-

ing properly and there is a mark on his pancreas.

Last month, Dr. Fourie closed her Cranbrook practice as she was moving out of town. No doctor has yet been found to fill her position.

Then last week, Borho

learned from his kidney specialist, Dr. Bronn, that she too is leaving Cranbrook, and a new kidney specialist has not yet been hired to take her place.

Volunteer program fixes up areas around lake Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The Cranbrook Society for Community Living (CSCL) has a program that is helping to maintain and spruce up areas around Elizabeth Lake. CSCL is working has been working with the Rocky Mountain Naturalists Society.

“We run a summer program with our clients with special needs,” said Wendell Dalke, a vocational worker at CSCL. “We’ve been volunteering our time and doing some work out at the Elizabeth Lake trails

there.”

Dalke helps to run the summer recreation programming for the Community Living centre. The program has been running for a number of years and he’s been involved for the past four years.

The trail project started three years ago and helped to qualify the society for a grant from Columbia Basin Trust. The CSCL started working together with the Rocky Mountain Naturalists Society as part of the project.

The area’s trail has been restored and is now looking great, he said.

City warning about late billing scam Tow n s m a n Sta f f

A resident was recently approached by an unidentified man claiming to be collecting past due utility bills

on behalf of the city.

The City of Cranbrook wants to advise the public that the City does not visit your home to inquire about

any overdue bills or seek any type of bill payments.

“Earlier today (Wednesday, July 30) the City of Cranbrook

was made aware of someone attempting to collect payments of past due City utility bills, while claiming they were employed by

the City of Cranbrook,” said Chris Zettel, the city’s corporate communications officer.

Zettel said a resident on 3rd Avenue North was approached by an unidentified male claiming that he worked for the City of Cranbrook. The male told the resident that they were late paying their city utility bills. He said the resident replied that they were just renting the home and that the owner was not available to talk. The resident didn’t provide the unidentified male with any information and the male then left.

Zettel said that if you are approached by anyone claiming to work

for the City of Cranbrook, be sure to ask for identification as all employees of the City of Cranbrook carry a proper city employee identification card.

Residents who may

have received such a visit or have any additional questions or information about this scam, please contact the Cranbrook RCMP detachment at 250-4893471.

Kidney patient losing hope Continued from page 1 “He came home last Friday, and he doesn’t have a kidney doctor, he doesn’t have a family doctor. He said to me, ‘Mom, I give up. No one is ever going to get anything done,’” said McKay. “Dr. Fourie put Rick at the top of the list to have a new doctor, but I have enquired at both clinics – the Associate and the Green Clinic.”

Borho was told to phone the Associate Clinic first thing in the morning to see a duty doctor. But so far, when he does that all appointments have already been filled.

He was referred to a liver specialist in Fernie, but he was not given a referral to another kidney specialist outside Cranbrook, said McKay. “We have no other kidney doctors here.

That’s okay if he can get a referral, but he can’t get a referral because you have to get it from a

doctor to go to a kidney specialist. We would go to Trail or Kelowna if we could get a kidney specialist.”

McKay said her son is starting to lose hope.

“I keep trying to build him up. I keep saying, ‘We’ll find somebody’. I’m on the computer every day looking.

“When you’re sick and you don’t have a doctor, it’s more depressing. He’s going to die if nobody helps him.”

Exacerbating Borho’s terrible situation is the low number of registered organ donors in B.C. According to B.C. Transplant, while about 95 per cent of people in B.C. support organ donation in theory, only 19 per cent have officially registered to be organ donors.

“A lot of people actually think they are registered,” said Peggy John,

a spokesperson for B.C. Transplant. “It used to be a sticker that you could put on your drivers license or your Care Card. That was before there was an official registry. In 1997, B.C. created the first database registry, which is a proper, informed donation legal consent.”

Registering to be an organ donor when you pass away is fast and simple. You can do so online in less than two minutes at www.transplant.bc.ca. All you need is the number on your Care Card.

For a hard-copy form, drop into any Re/ Max office, or phone B.C. Transplant at 1-800-663-6189.

You can also look into living organ donations for a kidney or part of your liver.

Find out more at the B.C. Transplant website, www.transplant. bc.ca.

John said it’s important to have registered donors all over

the province, not just in the Lower Mainland.

She said many people disqualify themselves as organ donors because of medical conditions or age.

“They often say, ‘Oh, they don’t want mine, I’m too old.’ Well, the oldest donor in Canada was 93.

“Even people with diseases – register your decision and let the doctors go through the process and figure it out.”

Meanwhile, McKay said she knows her son is not the only person in Cranbrook facing a life-threatening medical condition and unable to find a family doctor.

“I feel sorry for the people out there who are in the same boat as my son,” she said. “Can you imagine if somebody gets diagnosed by a doctor who says you have cancer, and then that doctor leaves and where are you supposed to go?”

Anti-mussel offensive starts in the East Kootenay A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff

This weekend, a pilot program with a mandate to stop aquatic invasive species from invading our waterways and ecosystems will be launching in the region.

The East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council (EKIPC) is teaming up with Conservation Officers to educate the public about the threat of invasive species.

“Over the long weekend, we will be covering border crossings, boat launches, and lakes in the area to ensure widespread message distribution,” said Todd Larson, program manager with the EKIPC. Larson said the Aquatic Invasive Spe-

cies are a major threat to the waterways of our region and the province.

“Fortunately, we have been spared from the introduction of major invasive species such as zebra mussels, Asian carps and flowering rush plants, which have had a negative impact on native ecosystems and socio-economics,” he said. “It is important to prevent these species from becoming established in our lakes and streams.”

Recent provincial legislation has made it illegal to transport certain species.

Larson said by collaborating with the COs, EKIPC will work to educate the boating

Mussel dimensions public about these risks. They also will have the authority to inspect and decontaminate any watercraft that are carrying those invasive species. EKIPC has a mobile boat decontamination station which they can transport to sites with contaminated boats.

Over the long weekend, EKIPC and COs will be inspecting boats coming across the Roosville and Kingsgate border crossings, as well as Moyie Lake, Kikomin Lake, Cutts Lake, Moyie Lake, Tie Lake, Rosen Lake, Koocanusa and others.

“Neighbouring states and provinces have established mandatory boat inspection stations along highways

and it is necessary to maintain this protective buffer to ensure contaminated watercraft do not launch on our pristine waterways,” he said.

Boats coming from the southern U.S. into Washington, Idaho,

Montana, Dakota and Utah face mandatory screenings for mussels and other invasive species. However, if a boat is not stopping in the state, it may not have to face an inspection before entering Canada.

In Alberta, the U.S. has been notifying authorities when a boat could be contaminated. The Alberta have been stopping and inspecting the boats.

Those five states are the last vestiges where the mussels have not been found.

They have invaded the Great Lakes and Lake Winnepeg and seem to be encroaching on the bottom of boats from both the East and The South.

Fire closes access to Whiteswan park

Whitetail Brook fire has grown to 400 hectares since being detected on Sunday; lightning has sparked another six small fires in the Whiteswan area, east of Canal Flats SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

An out-of-control wildfire near Canal Flats has more than doubled in size in 24 hours, prompting the closure of Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park and access roads.

The Whitetail Brook fire near Canal Flats was caused by lightning and detected on Sunday, July 27. On Tuesday, it was 150 hectares, but by Wednesday lunchtime it

had grown to an estimated 400 hectares in size. It’s not at all contained, according to the Wildfire Management Branch.

What’s more, a lightning storm that moved through the area on Tuesday, July 29 sparked another six small fires around Whiteswan, said Fanny Bernard, fire information officer at Southeast Fire Centre.

“Aside from the fire at Whitetail Brook, there

was six new small fires since (Tuesday’s) lightning storm,” said Bernard.

As a result, Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park has been closed, she went on.

“That has prompted the Wildfire Management Branch in communication with B.C. Parks to close down access to Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park, including Lussier Hot Springs until further notice.

“BC Parks staff is currently informing campers in the area that they need to leave the area.”

Forestry roads in the area have also been closed. Whiteswan Forest Service Road is closed from the highway; White Rock Forest Service Road is closed; and Kootenay Forest Service Road is closed from Canal Flats to the 34-kilometre mark. The closures mean access to Top of the World Provin-

cial Park is also cut off.

There are no structures threatened by any of the fires.

The Whitetail Brook fire has grown to the northeast, rather than the south or the west where communities and infrastructure is located.

It is being fought by 50 firefighters, eight pieces of heavy equipment,

If you see any suspected wildfire or unattended campfire, phone 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on most cellphones.

“Even if you suspect that somebody else must have called in smoke, do it anyway,” she continued. “The public reports a third of our wildfires.”

The City of Kimberley intends to close the Mark Street bridge, near B&B Glass, permanently as of August 28, 2014.

City crews have been rehabbing some of Kimberley’s aging bridges — Marsden Street already done, and this year, the Black Bear bridge is being rehabbed. However, City Chief Administrative Officer Scott Sommerville says that the Mark Street bridge has been deemed too costly to re-

habilitate by Council as it serves a very small number of homes. The cost would be upwards of $500,000 to service ten houses.

“The Mark Street bridge was constructed in 1948 and has reached the end of its designed service life,” Sommerville said. “In 2010, the City received an email from Associated Engineering stating that ‘Mark Street bridge is passed its service life and I do not believe rehabilitation will be cost

effective’.

“Since this email was received, the City has been monitoring this bridge and have been in constant contact with the engineers. The bridge is no longer safe to use for vehicle traffic, but will continue on in use as a pedestrian bridge until the second phase of the Flume is constructed in 2015.”

Once the flume is done, a pedestrian bridge will be placed in that area, Sommerville says.

Wildsight offers food preservation workshops For the Townsman

This summer and fall, the Local Food in the Kitchen workshops series will show locals how to preserve seasonal food from the peak of the harvest for the long Kootenay winter.

“There is plenty of local food available in the East Kootenay” said Cranbrook Food Action Committee’s Shannon Duncan. “But it can be hard to eat local over the winter without the knowledge to turn seasonal food into preserved food.”

“And no one wants to eat the same thing all winter,” added Wildsight’s Jessica Windle, “but with traditional techniques like fermentation, you can make a huge variety of tasty and nutritious preserved foods from simple ingredients.”

Local Food in the

Kitchen workshops will cover six areas of food preservation: dehydrating, canning, pickling, making drinks, fermentation, and meat preservation, plus foraging in the wild for local ingredients. The series, put on by Wildsight and CFAC, runs on six evenings from August 5 to October 22, with sessions in both Kimberley and Cranbrook.

“The workshop series is an exploration of traditional and modern techniques to transform seasonal, local food into nourishing foods for the pantry,” said Windle. “Preserved foods the only way that our ancestors could feed themselves consistently - are such an important part of many cultures.”

The workshop series follows the seasons, with each workshop focusing on preserving

Northwest gold mine gets B.C. approval Tom Fletcher Black Press

One of the biggest copper and gold ore deposits in the world has received an environmental assessment certificate to begin development of a mine near Stewart in northwestern B.C. Seabridge Gold’s KSM mine property includes four ore bodies that contain silver and molybdenum as well as gold and copper. The company plans a combination of open-pit and underground mining to extract ore and a pair of tunnels to transport up to 120,000 tonnes a day to a processing area 23 km away.

Seabridge expects a construction period spanning 20 years and a mine life of 50 years, with 1,800 construction jobs and more than 1,000 employees to operate the mine.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the recent completion of the Northwest Transmission Line to extend the BC Hydro electricity grid to the region made this mine possible, as well as a molybdenum mine at Kitsault and the Red Chris copper-gold project near Dease Lake.

Seabridge has a benefits agreement with the Nisga’a Nation, whose territory was defined by a treaty in 2000, and the province has agreed to a 37.5 per cent share of provincial mineral royalties to be paid to the Nisga’a.

“This is one of the biggest mines that’s ever been permitted in the province,” Bennett said.

“It’s on a scale with Highland Valley copper [near Kamloops], with Fording River or Elkview coal mines in the southeast, major mines that will really make a difference in our economy.”

The KSM project still requires federal approval, expected by this fall.

The company says the federal review has also determined it will meet environmental standards and is completing a public comment period before issuing its permit.

The site is near the border with the Alaska panhandle. Bennett said during the provincial review, the company changed its design to move the tailings and processing facility away from the mine site to address concerns by the fishing and tourism industry in Alaska.

The workshop cost is $20 per workshop or the full series of six for $100.

The workshop cost includes supplies, so participants will take something preserved home from each workshop.

Participants are asked to register by the Friday before each workshop to help the organizers plan ahead to buy ingredients.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CBC News.

“The woman should have chastity ... She should not laugh in front of everyone and not be inviting in her behaviour. She should protect her honour.”

Let’s just read between the lines here, shall we?

A Turkish woman is publicly laughing and a man — poor, innocent soul that he is — is unable to restrain himself from this blatant come on and has to sexually assault her. She invited it. Deputy Prime Minister Arinc said so.

I have watched with dismay as more and more governments around the world adopt more and more hard-line anti-female laws.

Turkey’s government is becoming increasingly authoritarian according to many reports. It must be increasingly scary to be a woman in Turkey.

Which is why the response to this ridiculous statement has been so inspiring. Turkish women are Tweeting pictures of themselves laughing. Under the hashtag #direnkahkaha thousands of women are posting laughing pictures. And women around the world are applauding (well, Twitter-applauding). One particularly wonderful picture shows an elderly woman in a kerchief, her wrinkled face wreathed in smiles while she shoots Deputy PM Arinc the bird.

Now that’s a shining example.

Lack of doctors

Opinion/Events

Letters to the Editor

My son needs a kidney transplant and a liver transplant. This past month he lost his family doctor. Today he went to see his kidney specialist and she told him she is leaving also and he would have to find another kidney specialist. He has already started to give up. I would like to know what is wrong with Cranbrook that we can’t keep doctors here. Our family is beginning to give up also, but as a mother I have to keep trying. I just don’t know where to turn right now, but my son is not going to die because we can’t keep doctors in this town. I wonder how many other people are in the same boat as we are. I sure would like to hear from them.

Opera is the answer

My recent Saturday sojourn at Wasa Lake was battered by an ear-mauling din caused by loud boaters. One colossal craft sped close along each shore, rap music blaring so loud we could hear every word even from the far side. It’s horridly unjust both to the locals and to respectful visitors — and the ‘perps’ can’t be local or irate citizens would sling-and-arrow them, if not tar-and-feather!

To fight fire with fire, Wasa-ites (Wasabis?) might discover a passion for the special soprano dramatics of 19th Century opera. Launch Maria Callas and Joan Sutherland full bore at those courte-

sy-challenged yokels, singing mad or death scenes from Lucia di Lammermoor or a Wagnerian funeral pyre — and they may put their rap under wraps or take it somewhere less peace-protective.

Pawley’s Peepholes, a witty short story

by British author John Wyndham (it’s on the web) describes just such a tactic. I bet the idea would be gleefully supported - if briefly explained - by others offended at the inconsiderate barrage of noise.

Family Friendly

As acting mayor this past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the second annual Brothers’ Insurance Car Show at Western Financial Place. The turnout was outstanding! I believe numbers surpassed last year’s event. Car enthusiasts were showing off their vehicles proudly. You can tell a lot of work went into them. It was great to see people excited about their cars and talking to others about them.

I hope everyone who took part in the event — from participants to spectators — had a fantastic time. It’s always lovely to host such events and keep our city vibrant.

As well as being two days of family fun, it was also a fundraiser. Last year, donations were given to the Kootenay Childhood Development Centre. This year, donations went to the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club.

The SARS vehicle was also there for people to have a look at.

People also got a sneak peek at the new

go-karts that will soon be up in the industrial park. Tom White of the Eagles Boxing Club took me on a wild ride in one. Ia m sure the new business is going to really take off once it gets going. I nearly lost my hat!

It is great to see another family oriented activity coming to Cranbrook for residents and tourists alike.

On another note, I would like to mention how much I appreciate all the hard work of our City staff, from inside workers to outside workers. You are truly professional and a great asset to our city. Without you, our city would not be the great place it is. There was a staff appreciation barbecue I could not attend — I was out of town, and got waylaid by last week’s storm To each and every one of our City workers, hats off to you! Thanks for all you do for our great city!

Act of Kindness

On June 22, 2014, the occasion of our 46th wedding anniversary, we were having lunch on the deck of the Leland Hotel in Nakusp, BC. We met a couple from Cranbrook, B.C., who drive a black BMW. We would like to sincerely thank them for picking up our lunch tab. What a wonderful act of kindness.

Thanks again.

HST bust was boon for B.C. Liberals

W

hen the votes were counted from the referendum on the harmonized sales tax three summers ago, it looked to be all bad news for the B.C. Liberals.

The governing party had spent two years and millions of dollars trying to sell the public on the rushed decision to merge the provincial sales tax with the federal goods and services tax.

To no avail. The referendum results, announced Aug. 5, 2011 showed that 1.6 million British Columbians had cast ballots in the voteby-mail and they’d turned sharply against the Liberals and their tax.

Fully 55 per cent voted to return to the PST, versus only 45 per cent wanting to stick with the HST. A 10-point margin was as decisive as it was indicative of a fracturing of the government base of support.

Every riding held by the Opposition New Democratic Party had voted to scrap the tax. But some two dozen government-held ridings had rejected the Liberal selling job as well, some by overwhelming margins.

All in all, the referendum post-mortems, mine included, concluded that the Liberals were in an uphill fight to recover from the HST debacle and regain the support of the electorate.

Still, they did so, starting with the immediate reaction to the vote from Premier Christy Clark. She was the best positioned of any Liberal to bury the tax, having been out of power when it was brought in by her predecessor Gordon Campbell, whose political career was a casualty of the tax backlash.

“The public has very clearly spoken and now is the time to turn the page,” Clark told reporters on the day the referendum re-

thursday, JuLY 31, 2014

sults were announced. “British Columbians expect us to act on their decision and we will.”

Those were pretty much her last words on the subject, as she left the messy business of transition back to the PST to Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, who she’d narrowly defeated in that year’s leadership race.

Continuing the turnthe-page theme, Clark announced within days that she was scrapping plans to call an early election and Vaughn would instead soldier on Palmer to the scheduled vote in May 2013.

She’d henceforth devote her time on the public platform to touting economic growth, including a jobs plan that had as its centrepiece a promise to develop an industry based on the export of natural gas in liquefied form.

Other themes emerged as well, drawing on the detailed analysis of the referendum result. In voting “yes” to kill the HST, voters were undoubtedly expressing anger that tax was brought in 10 weeks after an election campaign in which harmonization was barely mentioned and then only as something not on the governing party’s radar screen.

But many voters were also staging a tax revolt pure and simple, as evidenced by those two dozen government-held ridings that joined the backlash against the HST. One possible key to winning back those ridings, the Liberals figured, was to play to the taxed-to-the-max sentiment that was on display throughout the anti-HST campaign.

So you had the government renew pledges to balance the budget and contain program spending. On election eve, they followed up with a five-year-freeze on per-

sonal income tax rates (excepting a twoyear surcharge on folks earning in excess of $150,000 a year) and on the carbon tax as well.

On election day 2013, Clark’s recasting of the Liberals as the party of growth, lower taxes and balanced budgets paid off with a full term in the premier’s office for herself, the fourth majority in a row for the party.

Multiple factors were at play in the outcome, including an overconfident Opposition. Still, it is significant to note that Clark recovered all but two of the seats that had broken with the governing party on the HST. The returnees to the Liberal fold included all of the seats in the North and the Interior, all but one in the metro Vancouver suburbs, and those with significant populations of Chinese Canadians and/or South Asians.

One of the most dramatic reversals occurred in Kootenay East, where the HST was rejected by a stinging 61 per cent. On election day, the riding returned longtime MLA Bill Bennett to Victoria (and what proved to be a major cabinet post) with an impressive 63 per cent of the vote.

Going forward, Clark and crew face the challenge of living up to the promises that brought them this far, not least the disappointing results to date of both their jobs plan and the vaunted drive to develop LNG. But looking back on 2011, one wonders if the anti-HST crusaders, with their famous victory, did not do the Liberals a great favour. The referendum result drained away the poison over the HST and spurred the Liberals to reconnect with the anti-tax, balanced budget inclinations that helped bring them to office in first place.

Joy Ward Fera (foreground) heads out onto Jim Smith Lake in a doubles skull with Cranbrook Rowing Club member Danielle Macdonald. Rowing Club coach Roberta Rodgers is out on the lake in the distance, Wednesday, July 30.

Renowned Cranbrook rower passes knowledge on to next generation BARRY COULTER

Cranbrook has a tradition of rowing excellence, with several Cranbrookians making a notable splash in the sport — including Archie MacKinnon (Olympic Gold Medallist, 1956), Joy Ward (back to back bronze at World Championships, 197778) and Ben Rutledge (Gold Medallist, 2008 Summer Olympics).

One of those great rowers Joy Ward Fera, was in Cranbrook this week, passing on some of that tradition and imparting some rowing lore to the next generations of rowers.

Ward-Fera (neè Ward) is considered one of the best all around female athlete Cranbrook has ever pro-

duced, as a skier, a hockey player, and most notably as a rower.

A member of Canada’s Rowing Team at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Joy recorded a seventh-place finish in the Coxed Four. During the course of her career, she registered back-toback bronze medal performances in the Eight at the 1977 and 1978 World Championships and helped her team to a fifth-place finish during the 1979 Worlds.

Following her retirement after the Moscow Olympic Boycott in 1980, Joy continued to be involved in the Olympic Movement, participating in the Olympic Academy of Canada in Halifax in 1987 and the International Olympic

Academy in Greece in 1988.

On Wednesday morning, Joy was out at Jim Smith Lake, with Cranbrook Rowing Club coach Roberta Rodgers and some club members.

“Joy gave them some good information on technique,” Rodgers said afterwards. “Time in water, time out of water, layback (body position at the end of a stroke)… She also imparted her personal story, and how rowing can be competitive but also a life-long activity.”

Ward-Fera currently resides in the Lower Mainland, but frequently visits and vacations near her old home town.

“She comes out (to work with the club)

when she can,” Rodgers said. “If she has the opportunity she comes by to engage with the club.”

The members of the rowing club are about doing other interesting things. Rodgers said Katie Clark is off to the World Bagpiping Championships in Scotland.

Zoe Chore, who was recognized with a Coast Capital Savings Athlete Bursary at the BC. Summer Games, is working for the summer. Reili Savage is doing rodeo for the rest of the summer. And Danielle Macdonald is off to Brentwood College in the fall, and will be leaving the rowing club, Rodgers said.

“As a coach, I appreciated the skill set they came to rowing with,”

Rodgers said. “Because they had a vert short timeline between ‘learning to row’ and the BC Summer Games.

And they were very competitive at the Games.”

New member Kristen Wilson came to the rowing club via Joy’s sister, Val Ward, a teacher.

“Val has a passion for the Olympics, and passes that enthusiasm on to her students,” Rodgers said. “She suggested to Kirsten that rowing might be a good sport for her to take up.”

Anyone interested in the Cranbrook Rowing Club, the sport and pastime of rowing, or joining the club as a member, can call Roberta Rodgers at 250-4890174.

Commonwealth Games

Drouin wins high jump gold, Theisen-Eaton wins heptathlon Canadian Press

GLASGOW — Canada’s Brianne Theisen-Eaton and Derek Drouin added two more tack and field medals for Canada on Wednesday at the Commonwealth Games.

Theisen-Eaton, a 25-year-old from Humboldt, Sask., won gold in the heptathlon with a score of 6,597. Teammate Jessica Zelinka, 32, from London, Ont., won the silver with a score of 6,270.

England’s Jessica Taylor won bronze with 5,826.

Theisen-Eaton won a silver in the event at the 2013 world championships in Moscow.

Drouin, from Corunna, Ont., won with a jump of 2.31 metres, while Mike Mason, from Nanoose Bay, B.C., came third at 2.25 metres.

Kyriakos Ioannou of Cyprus came second at 2.28 metres.

Julie Labonte of Ste-Justine, Que., captured a bronze medal in shot put to make it five medals for Canada at the track Wednesday.

Labonte threw 17.58 metres. Valerie Adams of New Zealand won the gold with 19.88, while Cleopatra Borel of Trinidad & Tobago was second with 18.57.

Drouin won bronze in the high jump at the 2012 London Olympics and at the 2013 world championships.

Canada wins three more wrestling gold Canadian Press

GLASGOW — Canadian wrestlers added three more gold medals in Wednesday’s action at the Commonwealth Games.

David Tremblay won the men’s 61-kilogram title, Dori Yeats won the women’s 69 kg title and Arjun Gill won gold in the men’s 97 kg event.

Tremblay, from Windsor, Ont., defeated India’s Bajrang Bajrang 12-1 in the final match.

“I got him in a technique, with that technique, you can finish the match very quickly and that’s something that I like to do,’’ said Tremblay, who defeated Bajrang, a bronze medallist at the world championships, more decisively than expected.

“You look at all my matches, I get them down there, and it’s almost over after.’’

Bajrang took silver while Nigeria’s Amas Daniel and Scotland’s Viorel Etko won bronze.

Montreal’s Yeats beat Cameroon’s Angele Tomo 10-0 in her final. She said she had plans for her first medal from a major Games.

“Wear it. Sleep with it, eat with it, got to school with it, figure out how to wrestle with it,’’ she said. “I will probably just put it with my collection of medals I really like.

“This is my first major Games. It’s awesome to win, for sure and it’s a good preparation for the Olympic Games, obviously. It’s not like I’ll be walking into a Village for the first time at the Olympics, it’s the perfect warm-up.’’

Navjot Navjot Kaur of India and Hannah Rueben of Nigeria won bronze.

Gill, from Surrey, B.C., beat India’s Satywart Kadian by decision in the final after the match finished tied 4-4.

“It was tough, really tough,’’ Gill said. “(Kadian) moves his hands really well so it’s hard to score.

“This means a lot. It means a lot to my family, It means a lot to me, it means a lot to Canada.’’

England’s Leon Rattigan and New Zealand’s Sam Belkin won bronze.

Canada has had a run of success on the mat at the Games. Erica Wiebe and Korey Jarvis won wrestling gold medals Tuesday.

Cranbrook athlete awarded bursary Townsman Staff

A Cranbrook youth is among 16 BC Summer Games athletes recognized for outstanding leadership at the BC Summer Games.

Zoe Chore of Cranbrook was among those presented with a Coast Capital Savings Athlete Bursary at the Closing Ceremony of the 2014 BC Summer Games in Nanaimo.

The bursary recipients were chosen from over 350 applicants for their significant achievements in sport and education and most importantly for their leadership contributions to their schools, community, or sport associations.

The athletes are from 16 different communities around the province and their leadership involvement includes service with student councils, community events, food banks, fundraising, coaching, and officiating, to name a few.

Cranbrook’s Zoe Chore was part of the

Kootenay rowing team at the BC Summer Games and is also an accomplished ski racer.

Chore works with a variety of community events and encourages her friends to get involved.

“I am helping today but, more importantly I am setting myself up for a lifetime of volunteerism because I want to shape a positive future,” Chore said. “Volunteering is fun, it helps communities grow and I don’t think a community would function without volunteers.”

“Coast Capital Savings is committed to building a richer future for youth in the communities where we live and work,” said Maureen Young, Manager, Community Partnerships for Coast Capital Savings. “These young athletes have demonstrated dedication and commitment to their sport, their communities, and their schooling. We’re thrilled to be able to contribute to their future goals with

The BC Summer Games are an important opportunity for athlete development, but through sport, these athletes are also learning lifelong skills of commit-

ment and leadership.

the BC Games Society.

“We were impressed with the involvement of these young leaders and are proud to call them all BC Games alumni.”

Below is the full list of recipients of the Coast Capital Savings Athlete Bursary for the 2014 BC Summer Games: Matthew Armstrong (Surrey, volleyball),Nolan Badovinac (Port Alberni, wrestling), Zoe Chore (Cranbrook, rowing), Sydney Fetterly (Abbotsford, basketball), Amanda Heinze (Prince George, athletics), Nisa Hofer (Burns Lake, canoe/kayak), Dylan Joyce (Chetwynd, swimming), Erika Lieu (Burnaby,soccer), Tanner Lorenson (Vernon beach volleyball), Samuel Matthew (Nelson, swimming), Trent Monkman (Telkwa, beach volleyball), Kristen Schulz (North Vancouver, athletics), Maxwell Stalling (Delta field lacrosse), Jay Taylor (Kelowna, baseball), Ryan Watt (Vancouver, rowing), Alice Young (Duncan, equestrian).

and Joe found the duties of host devolving upon himself — of course he was equal to the occasion; in due course of time Joe produced two or three decanters of the choicest brands of liquid enthusiasm and invited his guests to partake of it. The parson declined, but his companion and their host filled their glasses; Joe, unaware, of the reverend gentleman’s calling, and attributing a wrongful cause for his ruddy complexion, urged him to join them, ending up with, “You’d better join us — one more won’t hurt you.”

The chief appeared quite contented and said everything in the way of construction work was progressing satisfactorily. As elsewhere announced, the end of the steel is now at Warner. The end will also remain there probably until the 15th or 18th of the present month in order to get the steel span for the bridge across the Kootenay in place. This will bring the time for the entrance of the road into Cranbrook to about the 25th of August — no later, unless unforeseen delays arise. The shortage of steel kept the road back from the river two weeks. No fur-

FIRST CHECK … The safes for the Canadian Bank of Commerce have arrived; one of them weighs 5000 pounds and the other 2000.

Temporary Manager Scott is now happy, and is prepared to receive and pay out all kinds of money. By the way, the business manager of The Herald is the proud possessor of the first check issued upon the Cranbrook branch.

ONE TOO MANY … This is a horse apiece on the Rev. Oliver and Joe Laidlaw: Not many days ago the reverend traveler, in company with another gentleman, called at the home of the Hon. Col. Baker,

ther delays of this nature are anticipated until Cranbrook is reached, and it is possible there will be none then. Headquarters will be at Cranbrook from the time the road reaches here until completed to Kootenay Lake.

1899 A.D. GRANT INJURED ... A.D. Grant, the contractor, met with a peculiar and painful accident last Monday that came near proving fatal. He had been out to Kimberley with Tom Wellman looking over the ground for the new hotel building he is going to build there, and was returning home. Wellman was driving and Grant was sitting with a long-bladed knife in his hand whittling a stick. Coming down one of the hills on the other side of the Mission one of the singletrees broke and the horses started to run. Grant, on impulse of the moment, jumped to grab the horses.

When he struck the ground he stumbled and fell. The knife, which he held, was turned toward him and the blade entered his right side, penetrating several inches.

Wellman brought him as far as the hospital and telegraphed for Dr. King, who went out immediately.

Mrs. Grant and Miss Ella Grant also hurried out as soon as they heard the news. Mr. Grant’s wound

did not prove as serious as was feared at first, and it is thought that he will be around in a few days.

DONATION TO CHRIST CHURCH … Lord Cranbrook, of Cranbrook, England, has sent a donation of money to the Churchwardens of the English church here.

1900 TELEPHONE LINE … H. W. Kent, general superintendent for the Canada Western Telegraph and Telephone Company, arrived in town Monday morning for the express purpose of reviving the old telephone plant that was installed two and one-half years ago by his company, between Fort Steele at one end and Swansea at the other.

The intention at the present time is to reconstruct the old line, which has been sadly wrecked, both by falling trees and vandals, put it in active operation and as soon as necessary extend it to Moyie and later, as the country develops, to Nelson, whence long distance communication can be held with south and west British Columbia, and the northwestern United States.

At present there is no means of speedy communication with Kimberley — no telegraph and a mail service tri-weekly only. If a reason-

able amount of patronage will be guaranteed the line will be immediately extended to Kimberley and the mines, a state of affairs, under present conditions, much to be desired at both places.

Blessing of the Bell ...

This interesting ceremony will take place Sunday next, August 5, at 7:30 p, m., at the Catholic Church.

Father Coccola officiating. The bell will be hoisted into the belfry on Monday the day following; it is the only church bell in Cranbrook, and its tones will be welcome in more ways than one.

FOR SALE … One hundred tons of hay for sale at St. Eugene Mission. Hay consists of pure timothy, pure clover, mixed timothy and clover and Hungarian grass. Price per ton: loose, $ 15; baled, $20.

HOTEL IMPROVEMENTS …

Improvements about the Wentworth Hotel are constantly in progress; carpenters and painters are completely transforming the place.

George also contemplates increasing the size of the “opera house” to about double its present capacity

WHOA! … There is too much reckless driving and riding of horses in the streets of Cranbrook.

WIDE WORLD

Bring an open spirit to Mongolia

Need help with current events?

Mongolia is like nowhere you’ve been, says Heike Giguere of Mountain City Travel In the geographical heart of the Asian continent is Mongolia – a place of extremes and opposites, of exceptional culture and philosophically inspiring scenery.

A visit to Mongolia will be unlike anything you expect it to be, and that’s a good thing.

With a population of only 3 million, sparsely spread over an area roughly half the size of India, Mongolia is one of Asia’s only legitimate democracies.

Most visits to the country begin in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, which can (and likely will) feel chaotic for first-time visitors.

Among the sea of taxis and 4x4’s in city streets, the city offers some calming options for those that prefer a slower pace.

Gandan Khiid is a Buddhist monastery held in high regard because it’s one of the few that survived the religious purges of 1937. It is in all senses of the term a very special place.

If you plan on visiting Ulaanbaatar in July, make sure to be there during Naadam – the country’s largest cultural festival. A two-day holiday, it’s a big deal here, bringing traffic in the city to a halt from the sheer number of people in to see it all.

Watch traditional matches of wrestling, archery and some pretty memorable horse-racing between the tiny Przewalski horses.

These are two days you’ll feel lucky to have been there for.

You can’t go to Mongolia without venturing into its natural wonders and Ulaanbaatar is ideally located to begin

your trek.

This country is huge for eco-tourism adventures of biking, horse-trekking and fly-fishing.

Staying in a traditional ger (yurt) is also a must-do. There are small settlements of them established throughout the country and sleeping alongside nomad families will be an experience you won’t soon forget, for all the good reasons.

Farther out into the isolated landscape, the Khongoryn Els sand dunes are some of the most exceptional in the world. You’ll likely want to climb them, if only so you can roll down them at the end of it all. This is a place for adventure after all.

However you choose to see Mongolia, bring a camera and your open spirit, because you’ll want to be ready to capture everything you can.

When it’s time to pick your next adventure, the experts at Mountain City Travel want to help you get there. Call 1-877-427-2233 or 250427-2233, or email us at travel@mcity.ca.

Trumpeter swans off Alberta at-risk list, but provincial fish not so lucky C ANADIAN PRESS

Karol Dabbs photo

A trumpeter swan family in Alberta.

WABAMUN, Alta. — Alberta has taken trumpeter swans off its threatened species list, but the province’s official fish isn’t so lucky.

The bull trout — along with the Athabasca rainbow trout, pygmy whitefish and western grebe — is now considered threatened due to declining or small populations.

Environment Minis-

ter Robin Campbell says a recovery plan will be developed and put in place to protect and rebuild their populations.

Trumpeter swans aren’t totally out of the woods.

They are still identified as a species of special concern.

That means they are still vulnerable, but not in immediate danger.

The county of

Grande Prairie is home to a large, natural breeding ground for the swans.

“We worked closely with other stakeholders in the area to ensure guidelines and land-use plans were followed to protect them and their nesting areas,’’ county Reeve Leanne Beaupre said Wednesday at a news conference in Wabamun, west of Edmonton.

Free Water Shut Off Timer or Rain Sensor This summer, The City of Kimberley along with The Columbia Basin Trust would like to help you reduce your water consumption by offering a free water shut off timer or rain sensor to make efficient watering easier.

The City of Kimberley has a water consumption greater than the B.C. and Canadian average.

While the City of Kimberley is committed to reducing water use through system improvements and wise water practices, it is essential that residents engage themselves in the Water Smart initiative by making simple changes to both indoor and outdoor water use practices.

By making a few easy changes to outdoor watering practices, you can keep your lawn healthy and green all summer long, while dramatically reducing your outdoor water use, and ensuring that Kimberley’s water supply remains plentiful for many years to come! Help Kimberley reach their goal of a 30% reduction by 2015.

To receive a free water shut off timer or rain sensor please contact the Operations desk at 250-427-9660, or email operations@kimberley.ca

WHITEHORSE — Four busy beavers may no longer be part of the fairway experience at a golf course in Whitehorse — now that the Yukon government has a permit to fatally shoot or snare them.

The Department of Highways and Public Works has received a permit from Environment Yukon to get rid of the sizable mom and dad beavers and their two offspring.

The beaver family is building dams that threaten to block a culvert near the Meadow Lakes Golf Course.

They’ve made the golf course their home for the past two winters and boast a prominent lodge on the pond nestled between the sixth and seventh holes.

The industrious rodents can often be seen transporting branches across the links.

“They’ve recently crossed the road and begun building smaller dams under one of our culverts that runs under

A beaver is displayed as curator Viviane Gosselin speaks at the Museum of Vancouver in Vancouver, B.C., on Tuesday February 25, 2014. the Alaska Highway,’’ said Highways spokeswoman Doris Wurfbaum.

She said the department can now hire a licensed trapper to humanely trap and “dispatch’’ the beaver family.

If the culvert became fully blocked, the section of highway above it could get washed out, Wurfbaum said.

The beavers’ labour has even made the final hole simpler for golfers because they’re gnawing a dogleg left into a more gradual curve by chopping down trees

that act as obstacles.

“That hole is aptly known in our group as the Kracken, because it continually kicks our ass,’’ said local golfer Josh Wiebe. “So having the beavers there clearing the corner is helpful to our game.’’

Jeff Luehmann, who owns Meadow Lakes, has come to appreciate the semi-aquatic creatures that roam his turf and frowns at their impending “dispatch.’’

“Without a doubt, it would be a terrible loss, not just for me but for the public,’’ he said.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have two daughters who have their biological father’s last name. He never phones or visits. In six years, he has seen them once for an hour.

I would like to change their last name to my maiden name. I have full physical and legal custody of my girls. My ex has supervised visitation that he hasn’t taken advantage of.

I married a wonderful man seven years ago, and he is truly their father.

I have no idea where their biological father lives. I’ve asked his sister, and she, too, has no clue. He has been in and out of jail on drug charges, and seeing as he isn’t paying child support or showing any interest in the girls, I don’t feel they should have to use his last name.

How do I go about changing their names with the least amount of trouble? I can’t afford a lawyer. My girls are 8 and 9 years old, and I’d like to get this done. -- L.A., Calif.

Dear L.A.: Contact your state or county courthouse and find out what forms are necessary to request a name change for minor children, and follow whatever additional instructions are required. (Should your ex reappear and contest this at a later date, you may need to contact a lawyer.)

Before taking this step, however, consider how your girls will feel down the road. They may be perfectly content to be totally disconnected from their biological father, but we caution you not to make your animosity toward him part of the package. When they are older, please allow them to have their background information should they request it.

Dear Annie: When it comes to relationships, whether family or friends, I’ve always had to be the one to pursue communication with them. They rarely call to say hello or ask how things are going.

I recently moved from Tennessee to Indiana and feel like I’m by myself. I have few friends here. What would you suggest I do?

-- Lonely Hoosier Dear Hoosier: It takes time to make friends in a new location. We recommend you get involved in local activities through your church, community centers, gyms, volunteer organizations, etc., as well as groups that hold interest for you, such as choirs, theater troupes, political organizations, book clubs and so on, which you can find online or through meetup.com.

Some people, like you, are better at maintaining communication than others. But you also could ask some close friends or family members why they so rarely call. Sometimes there are problems that can be easily remedied.

Dear Annie: Can I add one more story to the replies to “Frustrated with Noise,” about children crying in church?

Many years ago, my family and I attended a large church in Groton, Conn. It was always packed to capacity. Sitting in front of us was another family with small children.

As soon as the service started, the child who was sitting on his parent’s lap started screaming demonically. I had never heard any human being scream that loudly. Neither parent made any attempt to quiet the child. They sat there like petrified stone.

The child continued screaming as the preacher attempted to give his sermon. Even though he was using a microphone, he could not override the child’s screaming. Suddenly, the preacher said in a booming voice: “In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you to be quiet!” The child stopped screaming instantaneously, and we didn’t hear a peep out of him for the rest of the service. -- C.

CounterAttack – Taking Impaired Drivers off the Road CounterAttack Road Safety Campaign

Be

Responsible This Summer Don’t Drink & Drive.

CounterAttack is a police-run roadblock tactic used to catch alcohol impaired drivers, and help reduce injuries and fatalities. CounterAttack campaigns have been running in BC for over 30 years, and typically take place during July and December each year. A major part of CounterAttack is getting the message out that B.C.’s impaired driving laws are tough and hold harsh penalties.

Serving Alcohol?

It’s important to understand the responsibilities that go along with serving alcohol –you have a personal and legal responsibility for the safety and well-being of your guests and attendees. The CounterAttack Community Program is in place to help individuals, businesses, and communities help get the CounterAttack message out whenever holding an event where alcohol is being served.

Posters, banners, information brochures, tent cards and more are available to have at your event to remind everyone of the dangers of drinking and driving and the possible impacts.

BRENNER, Rose Mary 1921 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2014 Rose Mary Brenner passed away at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook on Saturday, July 26, 2014 at the age of 93 years. She was born on February 11, 1921 in Spokane, Washington to John and Teresa Lorenzo.

Rose Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole focus in life was her family and friends. She loved to cook for everybody and took great joy in running Brennerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ in Yahk for many years. She prided herself with her homemade soups, pies and everything made from scratch. Not only did she run the cafĂŠ, but she decorated many wedding and birthday cakes for people over the years.

Halloween also saw her giving away her homemade candy to the local kids. Like many of the women of her time, she loved to knit and sew too. Mom and Dad loved to dance the old time waltz and enjoyed many good times dancing.

Rose Mary leaves to mourn her passing her three children; John (May) Brenner, Ron (Sandy) Brenner and Sheila Way as well as her 7 grandchildren; Sarah, Charlotte, Andrea, Matthew, Jessica Brenner and Megan and Greg Way. Also left behind are 6 great grandchildren; Thor, Ella, Grey, Porter, Tate and Finn. Rose Mary was predeceased by her husband, Adolf in 1998, her parents and one brother, Peter.

At Rose Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no funeral service at this time. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper 1. Advertise to Reach New Customers.

Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.

You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.

Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.

When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Call today and start advertising.
