for Social Development, at the Service Canada offices in downtown Cranbrook.

“Our government believes that everybody who wants to work should have the opportunity to work,” said Bergen, who is the MP for Portage-Lisgar in Manitoba. “So when it comes to the overall strategy of skills and job training and linking people with jobs that are available, certainly there are people with disabilities who have many abilities who have been left out.”

The best social program is a good job.

So says Hugh Grant, Executive Director of Kootenay Employment Services (KES), which helps find employment for people all throughout the Kootenay Rockies region.

On Monday, August 18, KES received more than $500,000 in federal funding to help people with disabilities in the region find gainful work, through KES’s Working Solutions program.

The funding was announced by Candice Bergen, Minister of State

MP explains new sex trade laws to Council A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff

MP David Wilks stopped by city council on Monday, August 19, to give an update on his dealings in Ottawa. Wilks sat on the Prostitution Bill (Canada vs. Bedford) for two weeks in July. Parts of the bill were struck down by the Supreme Court back in December of 2013, so it had to be reworked by parliament.

“We heard from 60 witnesses and the reason this came forward was the Supreme Court, back on December 21, 2013, gave the Parliament of Canada one year to bring forth a new law with regards to prostitution in Canada,” Wilks said.

“If we failed to do that on De-

cember 20, 2014 then prostitution in Canada would become legal.”

It’s a relatively daunting issue that is quite decisive among all Canadians.”

Wilks said he believes they came up with “a balanced new law that will provide surety for all Canadians that we are taking this topic quite seriously.”

Once the bill makes it through parliament, through the senate and becomes law, it will be completely illegal to purchase sex in Canada in any form.

It will also be illegal to advertise, unless you are in the business as a sex trade worker, he said.

the strike drags on.

It also offers links to online learning resources from school districts, which have proliferated in recent years.

Talks have continued under a media blackout since mediator Vince Ready met the two sides last week.

“Mr. Ready agreed to monitor the situation, and to resume exploratory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be productive,” the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association said in a brief statement.

Negotiations broke off and a full-scale strike and lockout ended the school year in June. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher met both sides earlier but declined to attempt mediation, after finding too

large a gap between the two sides.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender and BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron have maintained that the BCTF’s benefit demands remain far beyond those of other public sector unions that have settled contracts. Also at issue is class size and special needs support, with BCPSEA’s latest offer rejected by the union and the latest of a series of court actions scheduled for this fall.

Ready’s last involvement in the long-running series of teacher disputes was as an industrial inquiry commissioner in 2007. At that time he recommended that a senior provincial official be involved in talks along with an independent mediator.

Half a million for employment services

Continued from page 1

The funding, to the tune of $509,000, comes from the federal government’s Opportunities Fund for Persons with Disabilities, to help those with varying abilities get jobs.

The project will help 44 people in the Kootenay Rockies region overcome barriers to employment through either skills training or job placement.

“There are fantastic programs across the country, one right here in the Kootenay region — Kootenay Employment Services — which helps people with a variety of barriers get to work,” Bergen said. “They’re going to help 44 people in the region with either training to get to work — resume writing, how to decide what kind of work you’re looking for, interview skills. Or the other part is helping employers with their wages. Employers say, ‘I’d like to hire this person, I could use a little help paying them until I get everything worked out.’ That’s what these funds will go towards.”

The Working Solutions program is delivered throughout the Kootenay Rockies region. It is part of the Opportunities Fund and puts individuals into skill training programs, each one customized for the individu-

It also helps with wage subsidies, to encourage employers to hire those individuals to give them the actual on-the-ground work experience.

Bergen said the results have been outstanding. “A huge percentage of people have found jobs and are in long-term employment, and are able to do all the things

we enjoy doing — earning a living, supporting our families, supporting ourselves, contributing to our community.

“And it isn’t about being

socially responsible, this is about economic benefit for all of us. It’s tax dollars being wisely invested.”

Grant said the funding is going to be put to work by

helping individuals “who have either never been in the workforce because of disabilities holding them back, or individuals that have been in the workforce but have been injured in one way or another, disabled and are trying to return to the workforce. “(Working Solutions) is a wonderful program that gives those individuals that opportunity. I’ve often told folks that the best social program is a good job. And that’s what comes through this funding. We match people with jobs and get them back into the workforce so that they are contributing members to social programs rather than having to depend on them.

“There’s real cost savings for the government of Canada through this program.”

Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks said “certainly in this area, we all see those people who want to work, who want to find an avenue to get into work, and this is a great opportunity for that.”

Bergen, who was elected in 2008, actually lived in Cranbrook for a number of years. “Someone from my family has always lived in Cranbrook,” she said. “I could probably drive to Cranbrook from Morden, Manitoba, with my eyes closed in about 17 hours.”

Wilks explains laws Continued from page 1

Wilks said only about 10 per cent of sex workers are in the business voluntarily, the other 90 per cent are either human trafficked and/or coerced into it through other means.

“We believe that we found a balance and we’ll move forward with that,” Wilks said.

Coun. Gerry Warner noted it didn’t make much sense that buying sex and advertising sex was illegal, while selling it was not.

“It apparently made sense to the Supreme Court of Canada,” Wilks said. “They make the ultimate decision.”

The Supreme Court told Parliament they could do what they liked as long as it felt that they were not going against the Charter or Rights and Freedoms.

“It will be one of those interesting dilemmas that municipal councils will have to grapple with, because ulti-

mately, you are the zoner of zoning,” Wilks noted. “There may be an opportunity that comes knocking to you in Cranbrook where someone may wish to ply their trade and you would have to determine what type of zoning you would want that in. There could also be a business that could come from that as well.”

Wilks said it was difficult to come up with the various parts of the bill while still satisfying the Charter.

Warner noted that escort ads appear in the newspaper.

“They talk about ‘curvy’ ladies of a certain age that are available for escorting, massages and you don’t need a lot imagination to think what else,” he said. “Will this new balance have any effect on those kinds of services?”

Wilks said all of those forms of business will become illegal and won’t be able to advertise under the new bill.

Ancient craft of tanning alive and well A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff

Flint’s Tannery has been tanning furry hides since 2011 in Cranbrook. The tannery is locally owned and operated by Dan and Lorraine Flint,

along with a modest staff.

“We’ve been in the business since 1985,” Lorraine said. “Taxidermy first, and then as time progressed tanning just became part of the scenario and it

grew bigger.”

They moved to Cranbrook originally from Southern Alberta.

The Flints offer hairon tanning of all types of game.

They work on skins for taxidermists, hunt-

NOTICE OF EXCLUSION APPLICATION REGARDING LAND IN THE AGRICULTURAL LAND RESERVE The City of Cranbrook of 40 – 10th Avenue South intend on making application pursuant to Section 30(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to exclude from the Agricultural Land Reserve the following property legally described as, Lot 1, District Lot 2593, Kootenay District Plan 14125 Except Plan NEP70008 and located at 4000 Highway 95A as shown on the map below:

ers, trappers and farmers.

The tannery doesn’t work on leather for clothing or anything besides hair-on tanning.

“This is a real specialized market,” Dan said. “So there’s a lot of hands-on labour with the fleshing room. Detailed work around the heads and the faces and the noses. It makes for a quality hair-on hide that can be hung in your home to put up for display, or to mount it, because it has to be done to a higher standard if you want to mount them for taxidermy.”

In the entrance room to the tannery

hang the furs of cougars, bears, deer, elk, wolves, domestic sheep, cows, buffalo and beavers.

“Here we have a bison flat skin,” Dan pointed out one of the larger furs.

Then there are also the animals that trappers bring in, such as bobcats, lynx and otters. They work on those as well.

The craft of tanning is a fine one.

“If these were poorly done, you wouldn’t have the clean hair,” he said, showing the softness of a bear fur. “This really displays the hair and the beauty of the bear. If you don’t do a

good job there, they look terrible.”

He noted the soft, stretchy and clean qualities of the leather.

In the back, the hides come in salted and skinned. They are then rehydrated before the process of pickling begins. This step removes all of the impurities from the skin. The skill of the flesher then comes in to play as they bring the skin to a uniform thickness and even out the final leather product.

That is followed by the tanning process.

Flint’s uses vegetable, mineral or synthetic tanning solutions to get the desired results from

the skin.

Oils are then used to lubricate the tanned skin. This oil replaces the natural oil that was once in the skin, but was removed in the pickling process.

The final step of the process is drumming.

The large rotating drum is used in the finishing process to clean the fur and leather. Dan noted that is what gives the fur or hair a glossy sheen that a quality skin should have when completed.

The showroom and tannery is located at 901A Industrial Road No. 2 in Cranbrook. Call Flint’s Tannery at 250426-8232.

Shelby Cummings delights Brooke, rodeo crowd Julie Brannigan

Any person wishing to express an interest in the application may do so by forwarding their comments in writing to, Rob Veg, City of Cranbrook, 40 – 10th Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC V1C 2M8 by September 9, 2014.

I can’t tell a bridle from a harness, but my arms were covered in goose bumps within the first five minutes of the Cranbrook Pro Rodeo this weekend.

Maybe it’s anticipation of the primal battle between man and beast. Maybe it’s the sound of Wes Cummings reciting the Cowboy Prayer, stirring a spirituality living in Christians and atheists alike. Maybe it’s the

sight of a young woman standing on a speeding horse.

Whatever it is, it’s something special, and this weekend as the rodeo progressed the emotion became more intense.

Trick Rider Shelby Cummings is an ambassador with the Children’s Wish Foundation. She flies the Children’s Wish flag at every rodeo, raises funds for the cause and showcases a local child

in need of help.

During the Saturday night rodeo six-yearold Brooke Willisson, who was born with Crommelin syndrome, an extremely rare condition that left her without hips, femurs, fibulas and both arms, rode in front of Shelby while her story was told to the audience.

Cranbrook’s goodness and generosity came through Sunday when it was announced Dacota Freight was

making Brooke’s dream come true, donating a family trip to Disney.

Brooke’s delight shone through to the back of the stands as she rode another round with Shelby and later handed out autographs, all while dressed in a Crazy Cowgirls trick riding outfit.

As always, the rodeo was entertaining, but it was this gift, and the obvious delight it created, that stole the show.

Arctic trek fraught with peril

E

M I C H A E L D E N TA N DT

ach August, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and a gaggle of staffers and senior cabinet ministers, accompanied by a gaggle of reporters, make the trek north for a round of tightly scripted photo opportunities. These Arctic sojourns are, if not quite working holidays, opportunities for the PM to do politics in an environment he clearly enjoys, far from the stilted confines of the Ottawa bubble.

This year’s trip, which begins Wednesday, will last a week, as in the past. It will feature a series of announcements and speeches in locations scattered strategically across the far north, as in the past. It will be calibrated to provide the evening newscasts and websites with stirring visuals of the PM “letting his hair down,” and declaring the Conservative Party’s fealty to, and love of, the true north strong and free — as in the past.

But this particular trip is also different from previous ones in important respects.

Politically, it has the potential to be more fruitful, and perilous, for Harper than his previous eight such tours have been. For one thing, the geopolitical context in the Arctic has changed dramatically, even in the past 12 months. For another, it may be this prime minister’s last good opportunity, before the 2015 election, to brand himself as a leader with a positive, uplifting vision of the country.

A great deal has been written, year after year stretching into a Biblical eon, about the contrast between the Harper government’s original robust vision of northern sovereignty, skilfully articulated in its 2005-06 campaign, and the reality as it has materialized over the past near-decade. The three polar icebreakers that have become one icebreaker, the quasi-mystical John G. Diefenbaker, still at

least half a decade from completion; the problem-fraught, long-delayed deep water port at Nanisivik in Nunavut; the long-promised Canadian High Arctic Research Station at Cambridge Bay, which is moving ahead but not yet built.

Even the Inuit Rangers, who roam the tundra as Canada’s first line of defence in the far north, are still relying on sturdy but ancient Lee Enfield .303 rifles as their primary piece of kit. A pending purchase of new, “ruggedized” bolt-action rifles is not expected to yield delivery until 2017.

Here’s what happened in the meantime: Vladimir Putin’s Russia became aggressively militaristic and began invading other countries. Harper and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, have been front and centre in denouncing Putin’s invasion of Crimea and encroachments in Ukraine. Canada is sending military equipment to Ukraine to help in that country’s defence as it battles Russian-backed rebels.

But in the high Arctic — where, strategically, Canada and Russia have colliding interests, based on claims to the undersea Lomonosov Ridge, between Ellesmere Island and Siberia, and what are believed to be vast oil and gas resources — Putin has seized the initiative. In the fall of last year, Russia announced plans to resume a permanent Arctic military presence, abandoned in the early 1990s as the Soviet Union fell apart. Russia is busily rebuilding old Soviet-era bases across its Arctic territory, including in the Novosibirsk Archipelago, or New Siberian Islands, northeast of Siberia. It already has nuclear subs and a fleet of nuclear-powered icebreakers, and is in the process of building the world’s largest such vessel, a 173-metre behemoth that will have the capacity to navigate in the Arctic year-round. The

ship is due for completion in 2017. Meantime, according to reports, Russian bombers and fighter jets have recently accelerated the pace of flights near Canadian and Alaskan air space.

Set against all that, Canada has, well, the Franklin Expedition. This summer’s admittedly impressive mission of exploration may find the remains of explorer John Franklin’s lost ships, the Erebus and Terror. If that happens it will be a feather in Harper’s cap, since he has personally backed the effort. But even if successful, the search for Franklin alone does not comprise an Arctic sovereignty strategy.

What was it someone said once, about “soft power” versus the other kind?

And that gets us to the other piece, which is purely political. It may be, as the government has said, that there will be no vote until the fall of 2015, as scheduled.

But it may also be that PM decides to pull the trigger early for tactical reasons, as he has done before. A spring election is not out of the question. Therefore, this northern round may be Harper’s last, before election season. Certainly it will be the last that occurs under more-or-less routine conditions, as opposed to the hothouse atmosphere of an imminent campaign. Harper and the Tories are well behind the Liberals in the polls; attack ads have thus far failed to dent Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s appeal. If anything, the attacks have boomeranged.

So the $64,000 question, as the PM heads north again, is simply this: Will he adjust his message and delivery? Last year, on day one of the Arctic tour, Harper struck a stridently partisan, combative tone. We’ll see what happens this time.

Dynamiters load up Nitros add Lucero & Haase; say goodbye to Garcia

Revelstoke Times Review Photo

The Kimberley Dynamiters have acquired forward Matt Lucero (pictured above in white) from the Revelstoke Grizzlies in exchange for Owen Solecki.

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters have acquired forward Matt Lucero (1994) from the Revelstoke Grizzlies in exchange for the playing rights to defenceman

Owen Solecki (1994).

“He’ll be a top-six forward,” said Dynamiters GM Dave Smith Tuesday afternoon.

“He’ll probably get some power-play and penalty-kill time.

“We’re going to hit

rough spots and I expect him to kind of calm the dressing room down and play that leadership role.”

The native of North Vancouver comes into training camp as the Dynamiters only player

to be entering his 20-year-old season.

Lucero posted nine goals and 13 points in 47 games with the Grizzlies last season. It was his first full campaign in the KIJHL after having a two-game cup of coffee with the Grand Forks Border Bruins in 201213.

As for Solecki, the 19-year-old hasn’t stepped on KIJHL ice since the 2011-12 season when he split time with the Osoyoos Coyotes and Dynamiters.

The 6-foot-2 blueliner has spent the previous two seasons with the La Ronge Ice Wolves of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL).

While the Dynamiters are welcoming Lucero into the fold, they also say goodbye to power forward Tyler Garcia (1995).

Garcia, 19, has committed to suit up for the Corpus Christi IceRays of the North American Hockey League (NAHL).

“He can play at that level,” Smith said of Garcia. “We’re very proud of him for making it there and wish him all

the best.”

The 6-foot, 203pound forward split the 2013-14 season between the Dynamiters and Nelson Leafs.

After arriving in Kimberley, Garcia registered 13 points in 21 games.

His biggest impact came in the playoffs, stacking up seven goals and nine points in nine games.

To help fill the void, Smith has carded 1996born forward Keenan Haase of Mission Viejo, Calif.

Haase, who spent the 2013-14 season with the Anaheim Jr. Ducks, measures in at 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds.

Smith hopes the newcomer can give the Dynamiters a stronger presence in front of the net and in the offensive zone.

“In my opinion, that’s what we’ve been lacking in the past,” Smith said. “We’ve been a little bit small. We’ve been able to score, but we’ve been pushed around a little bit.”

The Dynamiters open training camp Aug. 29 at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Settlement reached in Bertuzzi-Moore lawsuit Allison Jones Canadian Press

TORONTO — A settlement has been reached in Steve Moore’s lawsuit against NHL forward Todd Bertuzzi, more than 10 years after the infamous on-ice attack ended Moore’s career.

Geoff Adair, a lawyer for Bertuzzi, confirmed the case has been “settled in its totality,’’ but said the terms are confidential.

The multimillion-dollar lawsuit had been scheduled to go to trial Sept. 8.

Media reports later Tuesday suggested there was a snag in finalizing the deal, but Adair did not respond to follow-up requests for comment.

Messages seeking comment from Moore’s lawyer, Bertuzzi’s agent

and the Canucks were not returned Tuesday.

The notorious hit happened on March 8, 2004. Bertuzzi, then playing for the Vancouver Canucks, hit Moore from behind, sending the hapless Colorado Avalanche rookie crashing face-first to the ice and leaving him with a concussion and fractured vertebrae.

Moore alleges the Canucks had put a bounty on his head following his check that left their captain Markus Naslund injured. Bertuzzi pleaded guilty to criminal assault causing bodily harm for the hit and was sentenced in December 2004 to one year probation and 80 hours of community service.

There has been years of legal wrangling since then. The civil case was filed in Ontario court in

2006 but was marred by several delays.

Moore, now 35, never fully recovered from his injuries and was unable to continue his career.

In an interview earlier this year, he told The Canadian Press he still suffers from headaches and low energy.

Moore said in the March interview, just a day before the 10th anniversary of the incident, that the lawsuit was not so much about the money as being compensated for the loss of his dreams.

“I lost my entire career in my rookie year,’’ he said. “I think any player put in that situation would do the same thing. I can’t recover anything else. I can’t recover my career, the experience of living out my dream from the time I was two and half years

old of playing in the NHL.’’ It all started on Feb. 16, 2004, when Moore flattened Naslund with an open ice hit that put Vancouver’s scoring star out with a concussion but was deemed legal by the NHL. Major retaliation was expected. Vancouver’s Brad May was quoted as saying there was a “bounty’’ on Moore’s head. But when the teams next met on March 3, with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman in the house, there were no incidents.

The fireworks came in their March 8 game, a 9-2 Colorado win.

Moore squared off against Matt Cooke in the first period, a fight that was considered a draw. It appeared that was the end of it. But things got nasty in the

third frame. Moore was challenged again. He turned away.

Bertuzzi skated up behind him, tugging on his jersey, then punching him from behind and falling on top of him as other players piled on.

Moore lay motionless on the ice in a pool of blood before being stretchered off and taken to hospital.

Bertuzzi was suspended for the rest of the regular season and the playoffs, which cost him about $502,000, and he didn’t play during the 2004-05 lockout season.

He was reinstated for the 2005-06 campaign and has since continued his career, most recently with Detroit.

Sale of NHL’s Islanders complete Fr ank Eltman Associated Press

UNIONDALE, N.Y. — The New York Islanders are selling a minority stake of the team, with a former Washington Capitals co-owner and a London-based investor to become full owners in two years.

The hockey team said Tuesday a group led by former Capitals co-owner Jon Ledecky and investor Scott Malkin agreed to buy a “substantial’’ minority interest. Terms weren’t immediately disclosed.

Under the agreement, current owner Charles Wang will continue as majority stockholder for two years, the team said in a statement.

At that point, ownership

will transfer to the Ledecky-Malkin group.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to become partners in the New York Islanders with Charles, and to pursue our shared dream of winning a fifth Stanley Cup for the greatest fans in the NHL,’’ Ledecky said in a statement.

The sale must be approved by the NHL’s board of governors. The full agreement, including the planned ownership transfer in two years, will be presented to the board but that likely won’t happen for the next board meeting in September. The board will meet again in December.

The NHL had no comment Tuesday.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Eight months ago, our highly educated 43-year-old daughter informed my wife that she hates her. She put on a humiliating performance in front of her two children, a stepchild, her husband and us. We don’t understand this at all, but she now wants nothing to do with us.

We do not deserve such treatment. We have been good, helpful parents and grandparents. In March, I phoned my daughter and asked why she hates her mother. She refused to discuss it. Three months later, I wrote her a letter and asked again. She has not responded.

Our daughter’s first marriage was not good, and we helped her emotionally and financially. Is a therapist giving her bad advice?

Does she have a split personality? Might she be in a cult? Is her husband pushing her to do this? Please help us find a reason for this shabby, disrespectful treatment. -- Bewildered Dad in Illinois Dear Dad: Your concerns are all interesting possibilities, but extreme. More likely, your daughter blames her mother for things that have gone wrong in her life. You may see it differently, but this is your daughter’s version, and to her, it is the truth. Please don’t argue with her. Instead, ask whether all of you can go for counseling together to work through whatever issues are troubling her, so you can be a family again. We hope she will agree.

Dear Annie: My neighbor’s tree hangs 15 feet over my property line and shades my crabapple tree. When I asked “Ralph” to trim his tree so that mine could get some sunlight, he went ballistic and refused.

Whenever Ralph and his wife go on vacation, I water their dozens of plants and take in their mail. I no longer want to do either of these things, because they obviously don’t appreciate it. I once asked them to watch my dog when I needed to go to the emergency room, and they wouldn’t do it.

Ralph got into a fistfight with the neighbor on the other side when the man wanted to install a fence on his property. He once physically pushed the cable installers when they tried to lay down cable for another neighbor.

All I want is for Ralph to trim his tree so that mine can survive. Do you think I should water their plants and take in their mail in the future? -- Unhappy Neighbor Dear Neighbor: Ralph sounds like a loose cannon. It’s your decision whether or not to take care of his mail and plants. You are not obligated to do so, and he certainly does not reciprocate.

But about the tree: In most cases, it is legal for you to trim the branches that hang over your property line, provided you do not harm the tree. However, we don’t recommend you confront Ralph directly with this because he is so volatile. Do you have a neighborhood association that can help mediate the issue?

Would his wife intercede? As a last resort, you can take Ralph to court. And if he is causing your crabapple tree to die, you can sue for damages.

Dear Annie: I felt compelled to respond to “Miss Lonely,” whose ex left her with two kids and she’s looking for love.

I was in her situation, divorced with two children. I started working part time, which built up my self-esteem. My friends and family encouraged me to return to school, which I did. I also got counseling for my children and myself, which helped.

Tell her to get involved with group activities. Surround herself with good friends and family. I am involved with my local church and belong to two knitting groups. Check your newspaper or meetup.com for local information, and step out of your comfort area.

You never know who you will meet and the friends you could make. -- Florida Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

VERNON HERBERT ANDERSON July 23, 1924 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 18, 2014 Vern died at the Cranbrook Regional Hospital on July 18, 2014, just a few days before his 90th birthday.

He was Born in Rose Valley, Sask. to Axel Anderson and Carrie (nee Westby) and was the fifth of eight children. He was pre-deceased by sister Amy (19151998), brother Clarence (1917-1969), sister Evelyn (1919-1989), and brother Walter (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Andyâ&#x20AC;?) (1921-1996).

He is survived by brother Colin (1926) in Cranbrook, brother Milo (1928) in Yuma, Ariz, and sister Ferne (1932) in Detroit, plus many nieces and nephews and their families in Cranbrook, across North America as well as some in Sweden.

Verne was a piano tuner in the early 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and a drilling contractor in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with his nephew Gerald, as well as a roofing contractor in the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

He always phoned his brothers and sisters on their birthdays, a very important duty to him and also enjoyed the futures market and stock options, which was later enhanced by computerization that he kept up with.

Verne moved to Chilliwack in 1979, living previously in Vancouver and was, for many years, a member of the Vedder Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in Chilliwack.

In his later years, he enjoyed the monthly seniors tea dances with his love of music. He consistently met with his old-timer group at McDonalds in downtown Chilliwack on Friday afternoons, which went on for years; he enjoyed talking with people.

With him at the time of passing was Irene Mitchell, his friend and companion for 40 years. He and Irene were in the process of moving to Cranbrook to be closer to his brother and other relatives, having just attended a family reunion in Cranbrook in late June.

A Memorial Service was held at 4:30 PM at Mark Memorial in Cranbrook on July 22, one day short of his 90th birthday. He is remembered by all as a very kind and gentle man.
