Two local mines win BC safety awards Safety has become of paramount importance to industry, Energy Minister Bennett says BARRY COULTER

In one of the most inherently dangerous heavy industries in the country, concern for worker safety is at the forefront.

On Monday, March 23, mining operations in B.C. were recognized for their health and safety accomplishments during the 53rd annual Mine Safety Awards banquet in Victoria.

The awards were presented to mines and quarries operating in British Columbia that had the lowest injury-frequency-rate during the previous calendar year. Two East Kootenay mines were among the winners.

Presiding over the event was Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review, and MLA for Kootenay East.

Bennett said the next day in an interview with the Townsman that awards night underscored the progress made in health and safety practices in B.C.’s mining sector over the years.

“What is most notable about the mining awards is how safety is such an integral, critical component of the mining industry.

“When you tour mines, which I do on a regular basis, there is an unending focus of safety. This is why mining is the safest heavy industry in the country.”

TRANS CANADA TRAIL

First phase of project successful Cranbrook and Wardner to be connected after old rail bed converted, similar to North Star R2T TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Trail BC is gearing up for another season of work on a project utilizing an old rail line to connect Cranbrook and Wardner, in a similar fashion to the hugely-popular North Star Rails to Trails.

In partnership with National Trans Canada Trail Foundation as the primary funding partner

with $210,000 in contributions last year, the project also received support from the Regional District of East Kootenay, Columbia Basin Trust, Recreation Sites and Trail BC. Now that winter has passed, organizers are pursuing more funding opportunities for the new season and volunteers are getting ready to continue the nec-

essary work to convert the rail corridor to a proper trail.

Beginning just outside of Cranbrook, the trail winds up Isadore Canyon and follows Highway 3/93 out towards Wardner, that will bypass private interests out near Mayook.

A three-year project at a cost of roughly $1 million, it will be a part of the Trans Canada Trail

network.

“The Trans Canada Trail is about connecting Canadians and communities and this initiative certainly does that—we are connecting the city of Cranbrook to our rural communities of Mayook and Wardner,” said Trails BC director Al Skucas.

City discusses intricacies of spray irrigation Council debates motor control borrowing

Arne Petryshen

A bylaw to repeal an authorization to borrow funds to replace the Motor Control Center led to a discussion about where the funding should come from.

The Motor Control Center controls the flow to the City of Cranbrook’s spray irrigation fields outside of town.

The repeal is necessary so that Finance and Computer Services can proceed with a second alternative approval process to obtain elector approval to borrow up to $700,000.

CAO Wayne Staudt explained that the bylaw is being repealed because the city had the application out one day late.

Charlotte Osborne, director of Finance and Computer Services, explained that under the municipal requirements the application must be advertised for 31 days, not the 30 days that city staff had first thought.

Coun. Wesly Graham asked why they had to borrow in the first place and couldn’t take funds directly out of the accumulated surplus.

Staudt said the project is a part of the sewer fund, and not the general fund.

“We do have an accumulated surplus in there that is a little over $1 million,” Staudt said. “Our target is to have a surplus of over $2 million.”

Staudt said that while there is a surplus, it is not at the recommended amount, adding that if the city had $3-4 million in the surplus it would be different.

“Historically, large capital projects, we always borrowed,” he said.

Graham then clarified that he meant the city should fund the project out of the general fund surplus, rather than the sewer fund accumulated surplus. That way the city could avoid having to reapply to go to a second alternative

approval process.

Staudt said the funds are set up to fund each project in its category.

“Our sewer fund, our water fund, our solid waste fund, our airport fund, are stand-alone projects,” Staudt said.

“When a project is designated for the sewer fund we use sewer revenues.”

He explained that is why the city collects frontage taxes and sewer fees.

“Some municipalities may not have sewer and water funds, but we do,” he said. “We specifically collect funds for those projects.”

Graham noted that to him this is a large-scale capital project, so they could move funds from the general fund to the sewer fund.

“We have some surplus funds in general, we could move them to the sewer fund, we could use money that we have rather than going out and getting a loan,” Graham said.

Report Acts of Aggression

by Urban Deer, City Asks For the Townsman

Any incidents involving acts of deer aggression in the City of Cranbrook should be reported. Both City staff and the provincial Conservation Officer Service keep close tabs on these reports of aggressive deer behaviour in order for Mayor and Council to make any future decisions around urban deer management.

“These reports of aggression are crucial to helping staff determine where clover traps should be placed in any future deer management program the City undertakes,” says Chris Zettel, Corporate Communications Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “The reality is if the incident isn’t reported the incident didn’t occur.”

Deer living in town are habituated to the presence of people and have lost their natural wariness of humans.

Although the deer look cute and harmless, they can and have been aggressive – especially toward people and dogs. The higher than normal deer population level has led to the sighting and reports of cougars, coyotes and the occasional wolf in the municipality over the past 5 years.

“I heard from many people last year saying they had encounters with aggressive deer but didn’t bother to report for a number of reasons,” Zettel says. “Some people told me they didn’t want to be a bother or that they responded to the 2014 urban deer survey and felt they didn’t need to complain again. Others felt that complaining would not make any difference.

“I’m here to tell you that reporting an incident no matter how frequently it occurs is not a bother and your complaint is important.”

To report an incident to the Conservation Officer Service, please call 1-877-952-7277. To report an incident to the City of Cranbrook, please call 250-426-4211 or email urbandeer@ cranbrook.ca.

“Although residents may also report deer damage to gardens and shrubs, it is important to know that those reports do not play a factor in decisions around deer management,” adds Zettel.

Late May through June is historically the time of year does give birth to their fawns. Does will drive away their offspring from the previous year and look for a secluded place to give birth.

Deer have one or two fawns per year and triplets do occur once in a while. The white-spotted fawn relies on its colouration, lack of scent and silence for protection.

It is quite common for does to leave fawns hidden while they forage in the area, returning occasionally to nurse.

If you come across a fawn, it is best to leave it alone.

It is also important for residents to remember that does with fawns are very wary of their surroundings and can act or react aggressively if they feel threatened. Give the deer plenty of space to either move or leave the area.

Do not walk closer to the deer, choose another route. Be sure to walk your dog on a leash and be ready to let go of the leash if a deer attacks.

Staudt said funds can be transferred, but it is not that common. He also said there is a belief that if you transfer funds, you should transfer them back, since the money was initially collect for a different purpose.

“I’m not saying we couldn’t change that going forward, I’m just telling you what our history has been — we’ve

never done that,” he said about the transfers.

Osborne said that borrowing is not always bad.

“However this is not an emergency situation where we have to deal with it now and we don’t have time to go through an (alternate approval process) in some cases,” Osborne said. “Here we have time to do it, so in my opinion, I would not

want to deplete our surpluses as a policy to fund some of these capital projects.”

Osborne said they know that the infrastructure deficit is significant.

“While borrowing is relatively inexpensive and while we have time to go through the (alternate approval process) this would be my recommendation,” she said.

Osborne also noted

that when she says it’s not an emergency she was referring to the borrowing process, and not the project itself. The project won’t get done until the fall at the earliest, as irrigation season begins May 1 and goes into the fall.

Council voted to repeal the bylaw and the MCC borrowing will return to council at a future meeting.

Safety a key mining focus of mining industry Continued from page 1 This wasn’t always the case in years past.

“Mining is an inherently dangerous industry,” Bennett said. “We saw a slide (Monday) night that the Chief Mines Inspector Al Hoffman put up before he started reading the list of award winners. It showed the rates of injuries and fatal accidents from 1922 to the present.

“Honestly, you can see why in the 60s and 70s the industry really got serious about safety.

There were a lot of people losing their lives in the industry. In the East Kootenay, there were a lot of people who lost their lives in the underground coal mines. And there were people who lost their lives at the Sullivan as well.

“It’s a very dangerous business if you don’t keep your eye on the ball, if you don’t focus on safety all the time, people are going to get

hurt.”

A focus on safety started to increase in the 1950s,” Bennett said.

“You had your first mine rescue teams back in the late 1950s. People were obviously thinking about rescue and safety.

But it really wasn’t until the 1960s that I think the corporate world really bought into the need for a safety culture at mines.

“I’m sure organized labour really drove that, and, I think organized labour really deserves a lot of credit for having driven this issue.”

The Mine Safety Awards consist of three categories and seven different awards. Bennett said they are arranged on the basis of worker hours — “essentially how many people do you have working on the site and how many hours.”

One East Kootenay operation — Certain Teed Gypsum Canada Inc. near Windermere

prospector exploration base, represented by the East Kootenay Chamber of Mines. Every summer there are guys out on the land doing their drill programs on their prospecting.

“There’s also a very large number of industrial rock quarries, because of where we live there’s a lot of interesting rock. The two mines that won awards are both industrial rock.

There are several quarries in the Cranbrook Kimberley area and up the valley past Wasa.

And all these operations employ anywhere from half a dozen people to 35 people at good wages.

“A great number of businesses in Cranbrook are there because of the mining industry.

They support and supply the mining industry.”

The focus on safety in the region is highlighted by an annual event, that Bennett and his wife Beth attend

— won the Certificate of Achievement, which is presented to operations with at least 15,000 worker hours and an injury-frequency rate of zero.

Another local mine — Baymag Inc., near Radium — won the Stewart O’Brian Safety Award presented to operations with 35,000200,000 worker hours and the lowest injury-frequency rate.

“Those are our two winners this year,” Bennett said. “We often have coal mines from the Elk Valley winning.

Bennett reiterated the importance of the industry to the regional economy.

“Mining is a huge industry in the East Kootenay,” he said. “There’s no question that the coal industry has helped our region through some very difficult downturns in the economy for many years. But it’s not just the coal industry. There’s a large

The MOU is a condition of the Province around the 2011 purchase of crown land by the City of Cranbrook next to the St. Mary’s River and River’s Crossing (former Shadow Mountain Development).

Conditions also indicated that the land must be used for public park purposes and that the park be managed in collaboration with the St. Mary’s Band.

“We are pleased to work alongside with the St. Mary’s Band to jointly manage St. Mary’s Park,” says Mayor Lee Pratt. “This partnership will help continue strengthening the relationship between our communities and may lead to future opportunities.”

The agreement provides the basis for formalizing this relationship and includes regard for mutual interests and roles and responsibilities of both the City and the St. Mary’s Band.

Currently the plan for this year is to work on sections in Crown land.

“We want to finish off all the rail grade sections on Crown land towards Wardner and we want to start the trail around Mayook,” said Skucas.

“We find that’s going to be the most challenging part of the whole project because it’s rougher terrain, it’s hard to get equipment in there, it’s just more time-consuming to do that there.

“We are committed to developing some trail around Mayook.”

The work around Mayook will take some more time as the property that the rail line sits on was sold to private landowners. Project planners will have to bypass the private property as the trail snakes out towards Wardner.

He added that the trail will feature an crushed gravel surface that will have the potential to promote healthy

An old rail bed will serve as the base of a new biking trail — similar to the North Star Rails To Trails — between Wardner and Cranbrook. active living and be a recreational asset that will help boost tourism in the region.

Based on the usage of the North Star Rails to Trails, Skucas envisions the new trail enhancing outdoor recreation opportunities for regional communities that will make the area a popular destination for trail users.

Under Phase One last year, there was approximately 7.5 km of rail trail resurfaced to Pritchard Road and a new scenic loop connector trail link was

built to a trail amenity at the Highway 3/93 Ramparts rest area.

Preliminary work was also started on a section of the Wardner to Tokay Hills Rail grade section for 2.2 km.

Skucas added that there is some minor work to be done on the trail section to Pritchard Road but it is usable in its current state.

At this time, cycling is not recommended on the Rampart Connector section as the gravel surface is still wet and hasn’t completely set.

However, walkers are

encouraged to come out and try out the new trail.

There are plans to do some work to the trail just outside of Cranbrook in Isadore Canyon, but the rail corridor is also a right-of-way for piping to the spray irrigation ponds, which the city plans to replace soon, according to Skucas.

That reason was mostly why work on the trail started outside of city limits en route to Wardner.

“We are so pleased with the generous funding from the Trans Can-

ada Trail Foundation.

The support for Phase One of the Cranbrook to Wardner destination trail project will ensure that momentum for the project will carry forward in to the ensuing years,” said Skucas.

Although matching funding is yet to be completely raised for Phase Two of the project, it is well on the way to raising a good portion of the funds, according to Skucas, who says the project has enjoyed support from a broad range of groups and agencies.

A man was taken to East Kootenay Regional Hospital with non-life threatening injuries following a collision between a truck and a semi-tractor trailer in Cranbrook on Tuesday night. The pickup, a newer model Ford, collided with a semi on Cranbrook St. N near Lordco around 8:45 p.m. Police are investigating the cause of the crash, but have ruled out speed and alcohol as a factor. The driver of the semi, who was hauling lumber out of Quebec was uninjured. Upon police arrival, the driver of the Ford truck was already being treated by emergency personnel. Both drivers are not local to the East Kootenay region.

The fall of Basia; The rise of Ted

Is

municipal spending out of control?

That’s a rhetorical question — I don’t have an answer.

However, there is one particular person who was hoping to explore that particular line of inquiry, and that person is B.C. Premier Christy Clark.

Clark promised to install a municipal auditor in 2013 after the B.C. election to examine the financial state of cities across the province.

Seen as a provincial intrusion into civic affairs, municipalities objected to the move, but the office of Municipal Auditor was created anyway.

Now, two years later, the government announced the firing of the Basia Ruta, the municipal auditor, after reports surfaced that she was refusing to participate in a review of her office.

And why, oh why, was a review necessary in the first place?

Well, after two years on the job, it turns out that only three audits were completed that cost taxpayers in excess of $5 million.

I’m no financial guru — heck, I can barely do my taxes — but three audits in two years? That’s bogus.

I can somewhat empathize that doing an audit of municipal finances can be a daunting task, especially if you start with municipalities like Surrey or Richmond.

Not to mention, there are things I’d much rather do than examine municipal financial statements, like skydive without a

parachute or sit front row at a Justin Bieber concert.

But this effort by the province to intimidate municipal governments by pursuing these audits has completely backfired.

And it’s going to get more interesting, as Ruta has responded through her lawyer that she plans to initiate a judicial review of her firing.

While one government employee is getting fired, another government figure is hoping to get hired, as U.S. Senator Ted Cruz has offiTrevor cially announced he is runCrawley ning for the White House in the 2016 presidential election.

As an interested observer of the political affairs across the 49th parallel, my first thought would be for Republicans to check out his birth certificate.

That’s right, he may not be from Kenya, but he was born in a foreign place — and that place is Alberta.

This is a huge controversy and I am already anticipating the self-righteous anger and indignation coming from the political talk shows when that story breaks.

What’s that? He’s previously renounced his Canadian citizenship?

So he says, but I still think it needs to be established that his birth certificate is authentic and not just a copy of the original.

I mean, this is the President of the United States of America we’re talking about and he or she must be starry-eyed and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

bleed red, white and blue if they’re allowed to sit in the Oval Office, drive executive legislation and have access to nuclear weapons.

And what if Cruz is still secretly a Canadian citizen? And if a miracle occurs and he gets elected, what will this mean for the Canada-U.S. relationship?

Think of the perks of having a Canadian in the White House.

We could probably acquire an aircraft carrier or two on the cheap.

We could politely ask American companies to maintain American pricing in Canadian markets, and then apologize when they refuse.

We could encourage the Cruz administration to throw out the NFL as America’s favourite pastime and replace it with hockey. Or lacrosse.

And what about the possibility of unification?

With a Canadian president, will it be the catalyst for Canada becoming the 51st state? Or will Ottawa float the possibility of the U.S. joining Confederation with the addition of 50 more provinces and/or territories?

These are questions that need answers.

However, one explanation I won’t hold my breath for is why it took the B.C. municipal auditor two years to complete three financial reports.

That is truly a mystery.

Venerable venue here to stay What’s Up? Cranbrook’s Studio Stage Door Theatre Proudly Enters its 2nd Century Ferdy Bell and

“It’s a fabulous structure with a lot of character,” beams Kevin Higgins, who sits on the board of directors of Cranbrook Community Theatre (CCT) as Building Manager for the beloved Studio Stage Door Theatre.

“We’ve done a series of solid renovations that’s kept that character alive. We got the building up to modern standards in terms of accessible washrooms. We have a stair-lift for those with mobility issues.

And we’ve totally insulated the entire front of the building facing 11th Avenue...which had been a heating problem up all the way up until now.”

The building was constructed in 1909 at 11-11th Ave. S. as the Grand Temple for the Cranbrook Masonic Lodge, and from the start was one of the most striking features of the Downtown Core.

The Temple was used as a central meeting hall by generations of Key City Freemasons until 1974, when the then-current Lodge declared it too expensive to maintain and built their current lodge on the 400 block of 3rd Ave.S. Threatened with demolition (the fate that

The Studio Stage Door in Cranbrook befell far too many of Cranbrook’s heritage infrastructure during the benighted 19681974 era), the magnificent building was saved from callous destruction by the passionate intervention of the Cranbrook Community Theatre society, who had been using the Lodge to host their productions for over a decade at that point. Spearheaded by Philip “Bud” Abbott and Cornell Sawchuck, the theatre society convinced the City Council of the day to purchase the Masonic Temple as City prop-

erty, to be stewarded by CCT. Which they have done admirably for over 40 years running.

The ground-floor level of building contains the open hardwood-floored, wraparound-mirrored 1000-squarefoot multi-purpose space dubbed the Studio. “The Studio’s been used for any number of functions,” explains Higgins: “Dance classes, martial arts instruction, weddings, receptions, society meetings, lectures, presentations...a very versatile and handsome room!”

The second/upper half of the building contains the Stage Door, an attractive soft-seater theatre capable of hosting audiences of up to 83 people; complete with a full stage and comprehensive light-andsound systems, the room has seen hundreds upon hundreds of different concerts, plays, and other high-caliber arts events over the past four decades.

“We’re a volunteer organization,” Higgins explains of CCT. “That’s important to get across to everyone. We’ve taken over the care and maintenance of the building on behalf of the citizens of Cranbrook. Although the Theatre’s owned by the City, it’s run by this motivated group of dedicated volunteers. We’re always in the process of seeking out grant money at civic, regional, provincial, and federal levels to keep it alive and strong. And it’s available for rental at reasonable rates for anyone who can find a good use for it.”

Higgins joined CCT’s Board of Directors in 2012 and moved into his current duties as Building Manager the following year.

Sam Steele SloPitch Soars Record Number of Teams Expected At This Year’s Sam Steele Days Tournament For the Townsman

A group of enthusiastic ball players took over the Sam Steele Ball Tournament in 2013 from the Cranbrook JCI with a vision to make the already successful event of 18 years into a “ball player’s tournament”, says Sam Steele Ball Chairperson, Seana Coolbaugh. The groups involved include: Cranbrook Minor Ball Association, Cranbrook Mixed Slopitch Association, Rocky Mountain Bandits and Cranbrook Men’s Baseball.

An increase of 20 per cent has been realized in just two years with 69 teams participating in 2014. The Sam Steele Ball Tournament has recently opened 2015 early bird registration for three divisions; Competitive, Intermediate and Fun Rec. All levels of ball players from novice to competitive compete in a fun weekend.

The Fun Rec division will have prizing for best costumes as a team, as well as other prizes for fun things ie; most sportsmanlike. The Intermediate division will be a bracket tournament format with prizing for different categories as well. The Competitive division will still run in a round robin format with playoffs and cash prizing for the top three spots with a grand prize of $2000 for 1st place.

With a four game guarantee, cash and merchandise prizes, draws, give-aways, apparel plus their own beverage gardens and concessions on location, the tournament is forecast to attain their highest participation level yet.

“All funds raised go back into the ball parks of Cranbrook” explains Seana. Over the past 2 years funds have supported a new batting cage at Confederation Park

A record number of teams are expected at this year’s Sam Steele Days ball tournament and bathrooms with storage up at Moir Park. This year’s funds will either go to new dugouts at Confederation Park or improvements to the Quads with new bleachers or overhead shelters for spectators.

Kamloops Storm take Game 4 to even KIJHL championship; Game 5 Friday in Kimberley Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

KAMLOOPS, B.C. -Through four games of the KIJHL championship, home-ice advantage rings true.

After the Kimberley Dynamiters claimed Games 1 and 2 this past weekend, the Kamloops Storm ventured home and returned the favour.

“I was proud of the boys, the way they came out hard, showed some desperation, but confidence to go along with it,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson told Adam Williams of Kamloops This Week.

After a 3-2 double-overtime thriller in Game 3, the Storm followed up with a resounding victory in Game 4, blanking the visiting Nitros by a 4-0 final.

“I don’t think we were ready to play,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks. “They out-physicalled [sic] us the first period or two and took advantage of their power plays. I just don’t think we were ready to play.”

Doing the heaviest damage early on and with the man advantage was Storm forward Mitch Friesen.

The former Kamloops Blazer proved more than enough offence for the Storm in this one, opening the

Kamloops Storm forward Mitch Friesen (#12) scores his second goal in Game 4 Wednesday at McArthur Park Arena in Kamloops. Friesen tallied twice, including the game-winner, to help the Storm even the KIJHL championship. scoring less than seven minutes into the festivities with a tap-in tally on the doorstep.

“He’s been fantastic,” Patterson said of Friesen. “It has been nice to see him regain his confidence and start playing stronger, taking pucks to the net, be a more of a physical force.

“The boys follow his lead. He has done a great job.”

A little less than 10 minutes after opening the scoring, Friesen found pay dirt once again — this time on the power play — taking a bounce in front of Nitros goaltender Tyson Brouwer and putting it past

the helpless net minder for a 2-0 Kamloops lead after 20 minutes. “[Friesen] is probably the focal point of their power play — good player. Really good player. We have to be aware when they’re on the ice and play harder,” Bancks said. “It was too soft in front of our net — easy little tap-in goals. They got some weird bounces that ended up in the back of our net, but if those players are being tied up or physically removed, they’re not there to tap them in. We’ve got to be more physical.

That’s the number-one thing I’d like to see from us — be more physical and win more battles.”

Brouwer did all he

could to keep his team in Game 4, but at the end of the night it just wasn’t enough.

Kootenay Ice prospect Max Patterson and forward Ian Chrystal added a pair of rebound goals to round out the scoring and Jacob Mullen turned aside 34 shots for the shutout.

“He does let out a couple rebounds, but we definitely should have buried. We’ve got to get it up top on him,” said Dynamiters captain Jason Richter of Mullen.

“He gets down pretty low, leaves the top of the net pretty wide open.

We didn’t get it up high enough tonight and didn’t bury enough rebounds.

“I don’t think we came out hard enough.

The first game [in Kamloops] we had some bad bounces in the third period, but second game, we definitely weren’t up and ready to go. We had a good third period, but our first and second we definitely came out slow.”

Even when the Nitros turned the heat up in the third period, a focused Mullen was there to turn them away.

Coy Prevost found himself with a particularly glorious opportunity to break the shutout bid for the native of Couer d’Alene, but Mullen flashed a bright yellow glove to rob the Eddie Mountain Division rookie of the year.

“I could tell he was in the zone, just the way he was finding pucks thought traffic and competing for pucks,” Patterson said of Mullen. “I had all the confidence in the world.”

Friesen, along with linemates Patterson and Bobby Kashuba were deadly for the Storm in Games 3 and 4.

While Friesen had

two goals Wednesday night, Kashuba had two helpers.

Patterson — a 2014 fourth-round pick (77th overall) of the Kootenay Ice — has been, arguably, the Storm’s best player in the series.

The 6-foot-3, 165pound 15-year-old Kamloops native turned in another impressive performance with a goal and an assist. He has now registered three goals and five points in five playoff games since joining the Storm after his season with the Okanagan Hockey Academy came to a close.

The Nitros were straight back on the bus and on the road out of Kamloops immediately following Wednesday’s setback. Thursday will serve as a rest day for the Dynamiters, while the Storm will hop the bus and trek back to Kimberley for Game 5.

Game 5 of the KIJHL championship is scheduled for Friday night (7 p.m. MT) at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Buchy rink earns silver at provincials Submit ted

Kelowna, BC — The Lower Mainland’s Team Joanisse will represent BC at nationals after they defeated Kimberley’s Tom Buchy 5-2 in the final of the 2015 AMJ Campbell BC Mixed Championship in Kelowna.

The rink, who curl out of Royal City, Golden Ears Winter Club and Vernon, is unbeaten since they formed in February, having won every game they’ve played at both playdowns and in the BC Championship.

Skip Dean Joanisse, and his team of third Shannon Aleksic, second Tyler Orme and lead Kelsey Steiger took an early lead in the final when they opened with a three-ender. They then forced Buchy to blank the second end, before stealing one in the third.

Tom Buchy, and third Lori Buchy, second Dave Toffolo and lead Robyn Toffolo, recorded singles in the fifth and seventh end but had to concede in the eighth after running out of rocks. The Kimberley team had previously won the Championship in 2006, 2010 and 2012.

Three members of Team Joanisse had already come close to clinching provincial titles this year as Joanisse was runner-up at the BC Men’s Championships, whilst Orme took bronze at the same event and Aleksic was a BC Scotties bronze medallist.

Speaking after their win, Aleksic said: “It’s always a thrill and honour to represent your province at a national championship. It is all the more special because I have achieved this with my fiancé (Joanisse) and two great friends. We look forward to trying to do BC proud.”

The Buchy rink had secured their place in the final by beating Chilliwack’s Team Freeman 4-3 earlier in the day. The bronze medal winning team consists of skip Mike Freeman, third Kim McLandress, second Mike Arden and lead Victoria Murphy.

The eight-team field at this year’s Championships was a particularly strong one which included five skips who had already won silver medals this year, as well as several past provincial cham-

NEWS CBT welcomes 5 new directors

Studio Stage Door as vital than ever Continued from page 7

“I’ve worked with a lot of people in the community who have been using the building. One of the main challenges has been keeping the maintenance up-todate on a heritage building, and maintaining heritage status. It’s not so much grandfathering the existing fixtures into modern building codes...that are a century ahead of what the original builders were thinking, way back before World War One! “We make sure that whatever we do to keep the place ship-shape, it always has to be in tune with the heritage structure.

For example: when it comes time to choose the colour of paint to paint the doors, or the walls, we can’t just go to any colour-palette and pick whatever we like...we’re trying to always keep it in tune with the early 1900s!

“An ongoing labour of love, for certain. A gift for the entire community!”

Those interested in rental of the Studio Stage Door’s public facilities are encouraged to contact Cranbrook Community Theatre’s friendly administrator Tanis Banks-Tomlin during CCT office hours (Mondays and Thursdays, 11 am-1 pm) at (250) 426-2490, or online at crancomtheatre@gmail.com.

The Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has seen an update to its Board of Directors, welcoming five new members to its staff.

With the exception of John Dooley of Nelson, taken on a three-year term, the newest additions to the board were taken on a two-year term. Among them is Larry Binks of Creston, Loni Parker of Revelstoke, Vickie Thomas from Aq’am and Jeannette Townsend of Valemount.

One of the departing directors, Cindy Gallinger, was from Elkford.

“We wish to welcome our new board members and thank all departing members who have helped bring the Trust to our current position of strength,” said Greg Deck, CBT Board Chair in a release. “It’s not easy finding the right combination of skills and personal attributes that allows us effectively to serve residents and oversee our investments and delivery of benefits to our communities — and we’ve been lucky to benefit from such a team both in the past and moving forward.”

Returning directors include Wendy Booth of Fairmont Hot Springs, Gord DeRosa of Trail and Rick Jensen from Cranbrook who was also appointed vicechair.

The 12-member board is appointed by the provincial government and meets throughout the year in communities in the basin to decide on the CBT’s range of services, programs, initiatives and financial investments.

Pointers for adults returning to school Today’s seniors, particularly those who already have passed retirement age, may find themselves with many free hours to fill now that a job no longer accounts for most of their time. Returning to school may help seniors realize lifelong dreams of finishing a degree, exploring a hobby, getting educated to gain work in a new field, or just to fill some time in a productive way.

Information from the United States Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics finds the demand for continuing education is still growing. For those aged 35 and older, the center says adult enrollment should grow by at least another 7 percent through 2016.

It’s possible to return to school at any age. Adults looking at continuing education possibilities can heed these easy tips to make stepping into a classroom again successful.

• Get some help. Some time may have passed since you last toted textbooks or entered a classroom setting. Things have changed since you last were in school. Sit down with a guidance counselor or a career advisor and go over your schooling goals to plot out a degree map. This will help you determine which courses to take or what schools will best fit your needs.

• Research schooling options. According to the National Survey of Students in Continuing Education, adult learners prefer post-secondary education that is affordable and close to home. Recognize that many schools now offer online learning, which may be ideal for you if you prefer to learn from the comfort of home. Decide what is important to you in a school, then narrow down your prospects.

• Schedule a campus visit. Tour the campus to get a feel for the school environment. Visit with someone in student services or attend an event for adult learners so you will know what the admissions process entails.

• Get financial assistance. Scholarships, grants and other financial aid are not just for young students. You may be eligible for financial help. Speak with a financial aid advisor to determine your eligibility for programs.

The East Kootenay Scholastic Distinction Entrance Scholarship - two-years free tuition

• Take it slow. There’s no race to the finish line. Going back to school is your decision, and you can go at your own pace.

Adult students return to the classroom for many reasons. Involve family in the decision to continue education and embrace the positive changes that are in store.

Find Your Path at College of the Rockies

Did you know that it is easy to begin your education at College of the Rockies and then transfer to another post-secondary institution to complete a credential? The College has established transfer agreements with many other institutions that make it simple and painless.

Whether you’re interested in environmental studies, tourism, business, arts, sciences, or crime and corrections, we have education pathways to guide you. There are many ways for you to stay at home to begin your post-secondary education before moving on to a university to complete a credential.

With our new dual admission agreement

with the University of Lethbridge, eligible students have the option to begin an arts or science degree program at the College and then seamlessly move on to ULethbridge after two years of study to complete a degree.

Why start at the College if you’re going to transfer elsewhere to complete your credential? Lower tuition costs at the College and the ability to stay close to home will help you to save money. Our small class sizes allow for more one-on-one attention, which can lead to greater success in your studies.

Collette Robertson, a COTR graduate who went on to complete a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from Dalhousie University

in Nova Scotia, says, “For anyone on the fence about attending the College, I would highly advise it. I am so happy I decided to go there and that I was able to get to know my instructors as people.

I believe the relationships I built with them allowed me to make connections with my professors at Dalhousie.”

A College of the Rockies Education Advisor can work with you to develop the transfer plan that is right for you. Book an appointment now to start planning for September.

You can learn more about starting at College of the Rockies and transferring to other institutions at: cotr.ca/ transfer

Collette Robertson completed two years of University Studies at College of the Rockies before transferring to Dalhousie to complete a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology.

College of the Rockies Financial Assistance and Awards Advisor Lois Murray is available to help you sort through the options available for funding your education

Fund Your Education

Your College education is an important investment in your future. BC Colleges estimates the cost of attending a college is 35 to 45 percent less than a university, but financing your education can still be challenging. Our Financial Assistance and Awards Advisor, Lois Murray, is here to help.

Lois can answer your budgeting questions and assist you with applying for a student loan, scholarships and bursaries or for emergency funding.

StudentAid BC, the student loan program, helps eligible students with the cost of post-secondary education.

In addition, there are thousands of dollars in entrance awards available to applicants entering full-time programs at College of the Rockies. Once you are a student here, there are dozens of other bursaries and scholarships worth from $250 to $5000 or more available for current students.

Some awards are based on academic merit while others are based primarily on financial need.

The application deadline for some entrance awards, including the East Kootenay Scholastic Distinction and Academic Excellence Entrance Scholarships and the Tembec In-

dustries Inc./Rotary Club of Cranbrook Entrance Scholarship is April 15.

There are additional Entrance bursaries available with an application deadline of August 15.

The many avenues to help you to fund your education can seem confusing and tricky to navigate. It is worthwhile to attend one of our financial aid and award information sessions. The next Cranbrook sessions will be held in May. Learn more about financing your education as well as dates, times and locations for upcoming information sessions at: cotr.ca/ FinancialAid

Post-Secondary Education: An Investment in Your Future Considering a postsecondary education?

A 2014 BC Stats report shows that it is a very good investment in your future.

As a college or university graduate you are likely to earn a higher income than those with a high school diploma.

The increase in earning potential can be substantial. For example, if you were to complete two years of arts and science courses at College of the Rockies and then

transfer to another institution to complete a degree, you could expect to earn $577,000 more over your work lifetime than someone with a high school education.

If you chose to complete a business degree, like the College’s Bachelor of Business Administration: Sustainable Business Practices, you could expect to earn over $1 million more throughout your work life than a high school diploma holder.

Is four years to com-

plete an undergraduate degree too much time for you to invest right now? The BC Stats analysis shows certificate and diploma holders can expect to earn from $178,000 to $370,000 more than a high school graduate.

These increased earnings are not limited to those in the academic realm. Should you complete a foundation-level trades program, you can expect to earn $266,000 more over your working life than someone

with a high school diploma. If you complete an apprenticeship, that climbs to a whopping $524,000 over your working lifetime.

So, as you can see, your post-secondary education is a worthwhile investment in your future. College of the Rockies, with our small class sizes and lower tuition, is a great starting – or finishing – point. Visit one of our education advisors and get started on your future today.

Helpful hints to land your first job

Though the job market for newly minted college graduates has proven less than ideal in recent years, members of the class of 2014 entered a job market that was on the rebound. According to the “Job Outlook 2014” survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers anticipated hiring nearly 8 percent more 2014 graduates for their domestic operations than they hired from the class of 2013.

That’s good news for new grads, but members of the class of 2014 should still expect a competitive job market in which companies can afford to be patient as they attempt to find the best possible candidate for each opening. Oftentimes the best candidate, especially for entry-level positions, is the one who combines some experience with a willingness to learn and do whatever it takes to help a company succeed. Many candidates boast such experience and enthusiasm, but there are some additional steps new graduates can take to improve their chances of landing their first jobs out of college.

• Gain some relevant experience. While college is

the best time to gain some experience that’s relevant to your field, that does not mean you can’t still earn an internship now that you have donned your cap and gown and received your diploma. Many businesses look to recent graduates to fill their internships, as recent grads have years of study under their belts and, because they are no longer enrolled in classes, more flexibility than current students. If the job market in your chosen field is tepid, start looking for internships. These can be a great way to start making some professional contacts, and many people find themselves ultimately working full-time for the company where they first landed an internship.

• Establish an online presence. Another way for recent graduates to get noticed is to establish a positive online presence. Something as simple as creating a profile on the professional networking site LinkedIn can help recent graduates get noticed by prospective employers. Even if you have little or no relevant professional experience, create a profile that includes your education history, interests, accolades or awards you earned while in school and even a brief summary of your career goals.

Another way to establish an online presence is to begin a blog. The blog should not be used as a tool to discuss your personal life, but rather to express your thoughts on topics relevant to the career you hope to pursue.

Demonstrating an understanding or even just a passion for the industry can be a great way to show prospective employers that you are looking for a career and not just a job.

• Join a professional organization. Other options to network and improve your chances of landing your first job can be attained by joining a professional

organization. Many such organizations welcome new members, even those with relatively little or even no professional experience. Your university may even sponsor such an organization and host regularly scheduled forums relevant to your industry. Such forums often feature lectures or talk sessions with already established professionals who can provide advice on landing a first job or internship or furnish grads with industry contacts who might offer similar help. Memberships in such organizations is often free or inexpensive, so take advantage of this opportunity if it presents itself.

• Use the resources at your disposal. Many college graduates are unaware that they have valuable resources at their disposal that can greatly increase their chances of securing a job out of college. The career services office at the university is an invaluable resource that is plugged into the business community in its town or city. Such an office can connect you will fellow alumni, many of whom want to help their fellow graduates establish their careers. A career services office also can help new graduates fine tune their resumes and cover letters so they have a greater chance of landing a job.

Parents also might be a great resource in your job hunt.

Your parents may have a career’s worth of professional contacts who might be able to help you land a job.

Don’t be hesitant to ask your parents for help.

Getting a first job out of college is rarely easy. But there are some strategies motivated grads can employ to greatly increase their chances of finding a job and starting their careers.

BBC decides not to renew ‘Top Gear’ host’s contract DANIC A KIRK A ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON - The BBC decided Wednesday not to renew the contract of “Top Gear” host Jeremy Clarkson after a fracas with his producer, ending his connection to the immensely popular program built around macho banter, off-colour jokes and cars.

BBC Director-General Tony Hall concluded that Clarkson struck and launched a 30-minute verbal attack on a producer, Oisin Tymon,

while they were filming on location, leaving him with a swelling and bloody lip. The producer went to a hospital for treatment.

Hall acknowledged that lifting the presenter of the program “will divide opinion.” But he said a line had been crossed in Clarkson’s often controversial behaviour - even if he is a big star.

“There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public

relations and commercial considerations,” Hall said.

Fans have clamoured for Clarkson’s return, signing a petition which was delivered to the BBC in a tank. Prime Minister David Cameron called Clarkson a friend and a “huge talent.” Will Wyatt, a former director of BBC television, said “Top Gear” without Clarkson would be “a bit like the Musketeers without D’Artagnan.”

Clarkson has often

found himself in trouble for remarks lacking in political correctness and behaviour deemed offensive. Argentina’s ambassador demanded an apology from the BBC after the “Top Gear” crew allegedly referenced the country’s 1982 war with Britain over the Falkland Islands. He’s also had to apologize to Mexico for characterizing Mexicans as lazy and oafish.

He was given a “final warning” last year following a racism row. At

the time, Clarkson said he avoided using a racist word while reciting a well-known nursery rhyme while filming the car show, but begged forgiveness from audiences after admitting that “it sounds like I did.”

He has been repeatedly saved by the program’s huge popularity, a valuable wholly-owned property of the BBC. The current series was launched simultaneously in more than 50 countries and

BEIJING - Chinese authorities have announced plans to boost the number of electric, hybrid and other alternative fuel-powered vehicles used for public transportation, while sales of such cars for private use have spiked in recent months.

The Transport Ministry announced Wednesday that officials aimed to add 200,000 buses and 100,000 taxis powered by alternative fuels by 2020. Last year, the country added 15,000 alternative fuel-powered buses to its roads.

Sales of alternative-fuel vehicles have spiked in recent months as China offers tax breaks and other incentives to encourage purchases of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, amid a larger anti-pollution fight.

Government data show vehicle exhaust make up 30 per cent of pollution in smoggy Beijing.

The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers reported that 5,996 electric vehicles were sold in January and February of this year, 4.2 times the number sold during the same period last year.

Another 6,444 hybrid

vehicles were sold during those two months, 2.2 times more than the same period last year.

Yale Zhang, the managing director of Shanghai-based research group Automotive Foresight, said sales of privately owned electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles will likely stay hot at least until the government subsidies begin lowering from 2016 through 2020. In cities such as Beijing, owners of electric vehicles also enjoy a much better chance at winning a license plate in a highly competitive lottery system.

With the subsidy, a low-end electric vehicle still costs twice that of a comparable petroleum-fueled model. The lack of charging stations and other infrastructure serving electric vehicles also holds back growth in their use in China.

“This is not an easy issue,” Zhang said. “It’s all under construction, but very slowly.”

International automakers are eager to build their alternative fuel vehicle presence in China, the world’s biggest auto market, but some companies such as U.S.-based high-end manufacturer Tesla have struggled so far.

To paint or to wrap: Deciding for your vehicle SUBMIT TED

Over time a car’s exterior can fade or suffer some dings and dents.

Before owners sell or trade in their rides for something new, investing in a new colour may be all that’s necessary to revitalize the look of the vehicle.

Changing the colour of a car is not something every driver should try on their own. Such a task can be time-consuming, and it requires a good deal of skill to turn out looking good.

Furthermore, painting a car involves a variety of different tools and equipment, from a spray gun, sander and buffer to specific types of enamel or acrylic paints.

After considering the work involved and the expense of investing in the equipment to get the job done right, many vehicle owners opt to hire a professional to change the colour of their vehicles. Many service centres offer two options to change the look of a car or truck: painting and

car wraps.

Paint job A professional paint job will yield an impressive result. A skilled auto painter can recommend the right type of automotive paint for your make and model and guide you in colour selections. While there are hundreds of different colour choices available, professionals also may be able to mix colours to create the custom look you desire.

Paint work may be done to match the existing colour of the vehicle after accident repairs have been made. Or you may be tired with the colour of your car and simply desire a change.

Experienced service shops can offer these services and more.

Other shops may specialize in custom paint jobs that may entail graphics, detail work or the blending of multiple colours to give the vehicle an airbrushed effect.

Custom painters are artists, and their work may be very detailed.

Painting may demand your vehicle be off the road for a week or more, so it’s best to have an alternative travel plan. Also, be sure to investigate how painting will affect the value of the vehicle. A paint job may end up depreciating the value of a resale because it’s changing the original vehicle permanently.

Car wrap Car wraps are typically made of high-quality vinyls that come in a bevy of different colours and styles. Wraps also can be used for custom graphics or to advertise businesses.

The vinyl wrap completely covers the paint of the vehicle. But because car wraps can be removed, they do not permanently change the vehicle and are therefore unlikely to affect its resale value.

Car wrapping can take less time than a labor-intensive paint job.

Some jobs can be completed in only two or three days. Car wraps

also may be the less expensive option if you’re not selecting a complicated, custom design.

Many car wraps will last

between five to seven years, which is on par with the life span of a professional paint job, which lasts five to 10

years.

Changing the look of a vehicle may be as simple as choosing a new exterior colour. Profes-

sional paint services and vinyl car wraps make it easy to switch up the style of a car or truck.

Simple defensive driving techniques anyone can employ Driving defensively is a great way for motorists to reduce their risks of accident, maintain their vehicles over the long haul and save money on their auto insurance.

But driving can be habit-forming, and over time many drivers develop habits that can compromise their safety on the road.

No driver wants to make roads less safe, and many may just need to reacquaint themselves with the following defensive driving techniques they learned way back when they first started driving as teenagers.

• Avoid distractions.

Older drivers didn’t have too many things to distract them from the road, but nowadays it’s easy to be distracted whether you’re driving alone on an empty road or sitting in rush hour traffic with dozens of your fellow commuters.

That’s because today’s vehicles may be equipped with televisions, smartphone hookups and high-quality sound systems that

can take drivers’ attention away from the road.

Drivers may even be bringing additional distractions with them into their vehicles. When getting behind the wheel, keep your stereo speakers low and turn off all of your devices so you aren’t tempted to check emails or text messages while driving.

• Don’t be in such a hurry. Perhaps the most effective defensive driving technique is to slow down when on the road.

That’s easier said than done, especially for commuters who are running late and trying to get to the office on time. But making a conscious effort to slow down, even if you are a few minutes late for work or running late for an appointment, can mean the difference between getting into an accident or staying safe on the road. If you know you are running late, don’t try to compensate by driving fast. Instead, call ahead to let whoever might be waiting for you know that you will be a few minutes late.

• Don’t lane hop.

Frequent switching between lanes can make other drivers nervous, increasing the risk of an accident. In addition, sudden or frequent lane changes can make it difficult for drivers to maintain their focus on the road and see more than a few cars ahead of them. Drivers who have been on the road for a long time may feel confident in their abilities to quickly switch between lanes, but fellow motorists may find such shifting distracting and begin to drive erratically as a result. Stay in one lane as long as possible, and only pass cars on the left.

• Don’t respond to aggressive drivers. If a

fellow driver is driving aggressively, slow down and let them pass or pull over and let them get far away from you before you return to the roadway. Studies have indicated that road rage incidents escalate when drivers make eye contact with one another.

Even if you are not at fault, it’s up to you to avoid a potentially dangerous situation and protect yourself and your passengers.

Defensive driving techniques reduce the risk of accidents and help to keep cars running strong over the long haul. Drivers can benefit from periodically revisiting such techniques and practicing them on roadways.

Taking a shower... how hard can it be?

Take a minute and add up the number of family members, friends, colleagues who have suffered a sprain or broken bones that made it very difficult, or even impossible, to get in and out of a traditional tub/shower combo. A number of years ago I had a spiral leg fracture, no-weight-bearing for 4 months and our then house only had the typical tub/shower combo.

My wife, Christie, injured both feet last spring, needed a wheel chair and air cast for 12 weeks but we were now in a house with a walk-in

shower. Getting in and out of a tub on a daily basis was dangerous and frustrating for me.

Christie was able to safely enter the shower and sit down. We will never be without a walk in shower or walk in tub.

Robert hired a contractor to replace the guest tub/shower with a walk in shower and bench.

The renovation, taking place while Jane was recuperating, only added to an already difficult situation.

Jane and Robert’s home is in an adult gated community, has level entry, wide hallways and doorways, master and guest room ensuites. Jane broke her hip and despite having 2 bathrooms, could not safely access a shower; both had traditional tub/shower combos.

Mike bought a renovated heritage home with large second floor master suite complete with deep soaking tub.

The only shower was a walk in stall in the basement. With a knee replacement on the horizon, he chose to replace the deep soaking tub with a jetted walk in

tub/shower combo. He didn’t have to give up his long baths to have safety and security.

According to a Statistics Canada study (2009/2010), about 4.27 million Canadians (12 and older), suffered an injury severe enough to limit their usual activities with sprains and strains the most common (51%), and fractures and broken bones 17%. Age wise, about 26% of seniors and 21% of adolescents sustained fractures and broken bones. Based on these stats (and the

Maintaining bird feeders and bird baths essential to avian health

Bird watching is a pastime enjoyed by people of all ages.

While many people trek into the woods to see their favorite birds, homeowners can take steps to entice these fascinating and feathered friends right to their backyards.

Homeowners who want to attract birds to their properties can do so by providing the birds food, shelter and places to wash up or cool off. Installing a bird feeder and a bird bath in your yard is one way to attract a bevy of winged creatures that can provide hours of enjoyment.

Establishing a bird-friendly environment may seem as simple as hanging a feeder on a pole or tree and erecting a bird bath nearby. But a certain level of

maintenance is needed to keep birds healthy and happy.

According to the experts at the Bird Watcher’s Digest, recent research indicates feeders can sometimes be a source of disease for the birds visiting them. The Audubon Society echoes that warning, saying that bird feeders and baths can serve as transmission stations for diseases such as aspergillosis, avian pox and salmonellosis.

Recently, scientists noted that the spread of trichomonad protozoan parasites is on the rise, especially among mourning dove and band-tailed pigeon populations.

Such warnings are not meant to deter budding birding hobbyists. Organizations like the Audobon Society hope that such warnings send the message that disinfection and maintenance is necessary to maintain sanitary environments for birds. Doing so is relatively easy and well worth the time for birding enthusiasts. · The Humane Society of the United States advises cleaning hanging feeders once every two weeks or more often if they’re

heavily used. Ground-feeding designs should be cleaned every two days. Feeders can be immersed in a very-diluted solution of bleach to water (nine parts water to one part bleach).

Let soak for a few minutes, and then scrub the feeder with a stiff brush or scouring pad before rinsing. Allow the feeder to dry completely before refilling it with seed. · Bird baths should be emptied of water each day. Brush or wipe the bath clean, then rinse and refill with fresh water. Do not leave standing water overnight; otherwise bird baths can easily become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other parasites. · Frequently collect discarded seed hulls and clean bird droppings from beneath feeders.

If the area around the feeder has become especially soiled, relocate the feeder elsewhere and clean its initial location. · Follow proper instructions with regard to seed and other bird food. For example, reduce the amount of suet offered in hot weather. Heat can cause suet to spoil, and sticky suet can become stuck in birds’ feathers and make it hard for them to keep clean. · Try to provide more than one

feeder and bird bath to prevent overcrowding. Crowding can contribute to the spread of disease. · Do not situate feeders and bird baths under perches where they can be soiled by droppings. · If you notice birds look sick or are not acting strangely, halt feeding and bathing to prevent healthy birds from becoming ill.

Wait a week before resuming feeding and notify wildlife officials if you find dead or sick birds around your property. · Locate feeders and baths at least 30 feet away from windows so birds do not get confused by reflections and collide with the glass. · Store seed in a dry container with a tight-fitting lid to prevent mold from forming and moisture from getting in.

Creating a thriving habitat for bird watching is easier than one might think. But once birds begin visiting a yard, homeowners must diligently maintain clean feeders and bird baths to ensure the birds stay as healthy as possible. Any questions about wild-bird care can be directed to a local Audubon Society chapter or by visiting a pet store or bird hobby center.

Seeding and fertilizing schedule

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

HOME & GARDEN 2015

Restoring lawns and gardens back to their pre-winter glory is high on many a homeowner’s landscaping to-do list. In much of the country, the best times to tackle lawn projects are when

temperatures are moderate, like in spring and fall. These seasons also mark the best time to seed and fertilize.

Planting and fertilizing new grass seed should be done when

frost is no longer a concern and before frost arrives if you are planting in autumn. According to Roger Cook, a landscape contractor and contributor to This Old House magazine, sowing

Are You Planning a Home Renovation or Addition?

Here’s How You Apply for a Building Permit.

Whether you are planning a small or large home renovation or a complete addition this year, there are lots of important decisions you need to make. One of those important steps is ensuring you get a Building Permit from the City of Cranbrook.Our staff is here to help you understand the permitting process and ensure that your project meets all the necessary requirements to begin, whether you are doing it yourself or hiring a contractor. Let us help you by first starting with understanding what a Building Permit is.

What Is A Building Permit?

A Building Permit is a document issued by the City of Cranbrook which grants legal permission to begin construction of a building project whether it is a renovation or a full addition. A building project includes new construction, additions, alterations, renovations, relocations and repairs or rehabilitation of a building or structure.

Building Permits are required when you want: • to erect a new building or structure, including garages, decks, and swimming pools; • to place a factory built structure such as a mobile or manufactured home, a park model or an accessory structure over 100 sq. ft. in size (Example: a premade garden shed) • to demolish, repair, alter, or move an existing building or structure; • to construct an addition to an existing building or structure; • to install a fireplace; and • or repairs which change or affect the structural nature of a building or structure.

Some minor building projects may not require a Building Permit, but construction is still required to conform to the requirements of the B.C. Building Code. The City’s Building Department should be contacted to determine whether a Building Permit is required.

Why is a Building Permit Required?

A Building Permit is required in order that public health and safety is protected in the construction of a building project. Applications must include: • a completed building permit application form including an owner’s authorization form (if the applicant is not the building owner) – other forms may be required depending upon the nature and location of your application (For example: an Erosion and sediment control permit, a development and/or development variance permit) • 2 complete sets of scaled construction drawings comprised of: • a site plan showing the following: the street location and dimensions of the property proposed for development; the location of both existing and proposed buildings with distances from property lines to the foundation of structures indicated; area of both existing and proposed buildings as well as vehicular access to the site; • floor plans showing the size and proposed use of each room;

lawn seed should be done when the soil is warm, the daytime temperatures are moderate and you can keep the new seeds quite moist at all times.

While grass seed can be applied in the summer, it is more challenging to get the seeds to take root and thrive at this time, as water is more likely to evaporate under the hot sun.

Also, many weeds germinate in the heat of summer. As a result, the weeds can infiltrate areas of the lawn where you planted, compromising the look of your lawn.

The process of reseeding and fertilizing your lawn is relatively similar if you decide to do so in late spring or early fall. · Rake the parts of the lawn you plan to seed and remove any debris or rocks. · Apply fertilizer to the cleared planting area. Use a rake or tiller to break up the soil and distribute the fertilizer to a depth of roughly two to four inches. Speak with a landscaper about which type of fertilizer you will need depending on where you live. Many fertilizers contain extra phosphorous to stimulate root growth in the lawn. · Moisten the prepared area and let the soil settle. You want the soil damp but not so wet that it causes the newly applied

fertilizer to run off. · Begin to sow the grass seed according to the rate indicated on the seed bag for the type of grass you will be growing. Choose a grass seed that will thrive in your climate. Certain seeds are more tolerant of drought and sunlight, while other species are better for shady areas or damper climates.

Again, if you have any questions, consult with a lawn and garden center. · Spread the seed with a broadcast spreader. Some lawn experts recommend spreading the seed in parallel rows and then repeating the process again in rows set at a right angle to the first series of rows for the best chances of seed coverage. The seeds then can be raked into the soil, covered with a little more soil and patted down. · Water to keep the seeds damp. This may require watering twice or more per day until the seeds begin to germinate.

Covering the seeds with about

1/4 inch of straw also can help keep the seeds moist, deter seed scavengers and prevent soil erosion. Remove the straw once the grass begins to grow. · Roughly four weeks after the seeds have started to grow, apply another round of fertilizer to replenish the top layer of soil with nutrients that may have washed away from the constant watering.

Homeowners can employ a similar process to overseed a lawn in the hopes of producing a thicker, more attractive landscape. Any thatch and debris should be raked away, and the top layer of the lawn surface can be gently aerated. Top dress the lawn with a very thin layer of new soil and compost.

Broadcast the seed over the prepared lawn and lightly rake the new seeds to help them settle into the soil. Apply fertilizer and water the lawn frequently to keep the new seeds moist.

Once the seed has established itself, you can water the lawn for longer periods and less frequently to help develop strong roots. Wait for the lawn to reach a height of three to four inches before the first cut of the season.

Many homeowners like to take on the challenge of seeding and preparing their lawns. But some may find the task is best left to the professionals.

• a detailed foundation plan • elevations showing full views of front, rear and sides of building including additions as well as finishing details; • cross section showing construction details;

• Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning

Once a Building Permit is issued construction should begin within six (6) months from the date of issuance. A Building Permit becomes invalid after twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance and your request for on-site inspection must be made the building inspector at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance.

A full house for the Lovebullies at Studio 64 Mike Redfern

Saturday night’s concert by the Lovebullies at Studio 64 played to a full house.

The fun-loving Calgary retro-pop band had most of the crowd up and dancing wherever there was space with 60s and 70s rock numbers and original compositions that sounded very much like that era’s music written by lead vocalist, Caroline Connolly, and guitarist & backing vocalist, Chantal Vitalis.

The pulsing beat was supplied by drummer Paul Jahn and bass guitarist Joni Brent and the electric instrumentals by Chantal and lead guitarist Kevin Herring.

When the two of them played dueling guitars, even sawing strings across each other’s instruments, it took one back to Jimi Hendricks at Woodstock in 1969.

But the star of the show was Caroline Connolly.

In her short shorts and calf-hugging boots she wowed the crowd time and time again with her dramatic interpretations of the songs, often ending up on her knees, head bowed, or, in more teasing vein, in the lap of a male member of the

audience. She was a lot of fun!

Having oversold the tickets, organizers managed to cram tables and chairs for over 90 guests into the redecorated concert studio.

The place looked great with new music-themed paintings by artist-

cum-bar tender Helen Robertson decorating the walls and a disco light spinning bubbles of colour across the ceiling.

The bar was busy quenching the thirst of the hot dancers and the toe-tapping onlookers. It was defi-

nitely party night at Studio 64.

This was the first of three shows in Kimberley Arts Council’s spring concert series.

Next up on April 21 is the incredible bluesman / racconteur, Guy Davis, whose bio includes performances with many legendary blues artists, Broadway and off-Broadway stage appearances, numerous television appearances, and a dozen or more American blues awards. This solo performance by one of the contemporary blues greats is not to be missed.

The gypsy blues duo, Blue Moon Marquee, concludes the series May 23.

Advance tickets for each show are $22 for KAC members, $24 for non-members, or $26 at the door if not sold out. For more information about these upcoming concerts and for tickets you can call Centre 64 at 250-427-4919.

The Celtic Tenors, featuring Daryl Simpson, Matthew Gilsenan, James Nelson, will be performing at the Key City on Sunday, March 29th.

Celtic Tenors coming to Cranbrook For the Townsman

The only tenor group with a truly global audience, The Celtic Tenors will give you a night to remember at Key City Theatre on Sunday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m.

Whether playing a neighbourhood cathedral or major concert halls in international cities like New York, Amsterdam or Shanghai, you are assured of a professional, sparkling and most of all, good humoured performance.

They genuinely love

what they do and you’ll see that shine through in each rendition of beautiful Celtic songs like the haunting Danny Boy and exhilarating classics like Nessun Dorma.

From The Celtic Tenors, you’ll get more than a performance by worldclass artists. You’ll enjoy an evening to savour and a night with tenors who despite their incredible success don’t take themselves too seriously!

The Celtic Tenors have established them-

selves as the most successful classical crossover artists ever to emerge from Ireland.

In 2000, following an impromptu audition at EMI in London, the Celtic Tenors were signed on the spot to an international record deal, a highly unusual event that was the talk of the music industry.

The Celtic Tenors released their fifth album in late 2014. It is essentially a roots album with rich harmony-driven songs from a collection

from North American songwriters including Stephen Foster and Bob Dylan.

The Celtic Tenors continue to re-invent the whole tenor idiom by pioneering a new style of ‘cool’ never before seen on the classical stage and by breaking the traditional stuffy tenor mould.

Tickets are $40 and $35 for Key City Theatre members. Tickets are available at the Key City Theatre Box Office 250426-7006

U.S. nudged Canada into expanding ISIL air campaign to Syria: Kenney MURR AY BRE WSTER Canadian Press

OTTAWA - The United States made it clear Canada’s precision-guided bomb arsenal and expertise would be welcome in Syria, Jason Kenney said Wednesday - a narrow glimmer of clarity in the Harper government’s murky reasons for expanding its Middle East campaign to include the war-torn region.

The defence minister would not go so far as to say the Americans asked Canada to expand the scope of its airstrikes outside of Iraq, but did indicate that Washington left the option open for consideration.

“Let me put it this way: We have conversations back and forth and they made it clear that they thought our precision-guided munitions would be helpful,” Kenney said.

“They obviously respect whatever sovereign and political decision the government takes, but on a military level they made it clear that precision-guided munitions, carried by the RCAF, would be useful to joint air operations in Syria.”

The U.S. and some of its Arab allies - notably Jordan and the United Arab Emirates - are al-

ready conducting airstrikes in Syria against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

They all use the U.S.made weapons - including Joint Direct Attack Munitions, or JDAMs, and so-called Paveway bombs - to the point where the military commander of NATO complained last year European allies don’t have enough of them.

Britain, France and Australia are also conducting airstrikes, but not in Syria. The Harper government had initially restricted Canadian warplanes to Iraq only, but that changed Tuesday with the introduction of a motion to expand and extend the mission until March 30, 2016.

Kenney, Foreign Af-

fairs Minister Rob Nicholson and Prime Minister Stephen Harper faced a storm of demands Wednesday to justify the bombing of Syria under international law.

In the Commons, Harper leaned on the U.S. argument - made to the United Nations that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad had lost control of his territory, that ISIL represents a clear imminent threat to its neighbours, and that the Iraqi government specifically asked Washington to take action.

Kenney took it a step further, saying he has a legal opinion from the military’s judge advocate general justifying the airstrikes under Article 51 of the UN charter.

That provision says a country can take individual or collective self-defence action if a member is under armed attack, but the invocation of that clause is usually followed by an international resolution authorizing force.

Even still, Canada has a right to defend itself - and extremists returning from the civil war battlefields of Syria personify that threat, Kenney suggested.

Legal experts in Washington, who’ve argued against the U.S. bombing campaign, say the self-defence justification requires an imminent threat, otherwise it’s a preventative war - something the international community does not look kindly upon.

Syria’s opposition says it won’t attend new round of Moscow peace talks ASSOCIATED PRESS

Syria’s main Western-backed opposition group says it will not attend the next round of peace talks in Moscow on the Syrian conflict.

The Syrian National Coalition’s representative to the U.N., Najib Ghadbian, told reporters Wednesday that his group had been invited to the second round of Moscow talks set for April 6 through April 9.

The coalition also boycotted the

first round of talks in Moscow in January, along with most rebel groups.

Ghadbian rejects the idea of Russia framing the talks as a dialogue with the Syrian government. The coalition insists that President Bashar Assad must go.

Russia is a key ally of Assad’s government, but its U.N. ambassador on Tuesday said it’s time for a “breakthrough in a political settlement” in the four-year conflict.

French investigators get audio from Germanwings black box Greg Keller Lori Hinnant Associated Press

SEYNE-LES-ALPES, France - French investigators cracked open a mangled black box and extracted audio from its cockpit voice recorder Wednesday, but gleaned no explanation for why a German plane dropped unexpectedly and smashed into a rugged Alpine mountain, killing all 150 on board.

The orange cockpit voice recorder - dented, twisted and scarred by the impact - is considered key to knowing why the pilots of Germanwings Flight 9525 lost radio contact with air traffic controllers over the French Alps and then crashed Tuesday during a routine flight from Barcelona to Duesseldorf.

French officials said terrorism appeared unlikely, and Germany’s top security official said Wednesday there was no evidence of foul play.

Remi Jouty, director of the French aviation investigative agency, said an audio file was recovered by Wednesday afternoon, including

sounds and voices. But he said it was too early to draw any conclusions from the recorder, which takes audio feeds from four microphones in the cockpit and records all the conversations between the pilots, air traffic controllers as well as any noises.

Jouty said the plane was flying “until the end” and was at 6,000 feet (1,820 metres) just before it smashed into the mountainside, well below its previous cruising altitude of 38,000 feet. He said the final communication from the plane was a routine message about permission to continue on its route.

He would not speculate on possible causes of the crash or rule anything out.

Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr, himself a pilot, said Wednesday that “we still cannot understand what happened yesterday.” He said his airline “never in its history has lost an aircraft in cruise flight.”

French President Francois Hollande, meanwhile, said the case for the plane’s second black box had been found but not its contents.

Jouty refused to confirm that about the flight data recorder, which captures 25 hours’ worth of information on the position and condition of almost every major part in a plane.

“At this moment people are on the scene still searching,” Hollande said, speaking alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in Seynes-les-Alpes, the town nearest to the crash site. Most of the plane’s victims were German and Spanish.

“This is a true tragedy, and the visit here has shown us that,” Merkel said.

Hollande promised that French investigators would do everything to determine the crash’s cause.

Helicopters surveying the plane’s scattered debris lifted off at daybreak for a look at the craggy ravine while emergency crews hiked through snow and rain over the steep, rocky terrain to the high-altitude crash site. In all, more than 600 rescue workers and aviation investigators were in the area, French officials said.

Investigators have been able to gather some data from a black box recovered from a German plane crash in France. said Segolene Royal, a top government minister whose portfolio includes transport.

From then on, air traffic controllers were unable to make contact with the plane.

German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told reporters in Berlin “there is no hard evidence that the crash was intentionally brought

The crash left pieces of wreckage “so small and shiny they appear like patches of snow on the mountainside,” Pierre-Henry Brandet, the Interior Ministry spokesman, said after flying over the debris field.

Investigators were zooming in on two key minutes Tuesday - 10:30-10:31 a.m. -

about by third parties.”

The plane, operated by Germanwings, a budget subsidiary of Lufthansa, was less than an hour from landing in Duesseldorf when it unexpectedly went into a rapid, eight-minute descent. The pilots sent out no distress call, France’s aviation authority said.

Features It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week March 22 - 28 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1903 MAIL SERVICE …

Once more the mail question is a live question around Wilmer, but there should be no reason to get excited, at least not just yet. Nevertheless, there is no mistaking the general sentiment that the now proposed schedule will have to be changed to suit the convenience of the public. It is learned on what is believed good authority that the first mail from Wilmer to Cranbrook is to start April 6th from here. It will be lifted here upon the arrival of the stage from Golden Monday night and carried eight miles to Windermere, where it will remain overnight and will reach Cranbrook Wednesday evening. Returning it leaves Cranbrook Friday morning and reaches Wilmer Saturday evening. Thus it allows Sunday and Monday to answer correspondence.

WANTED … An organist for the Presbyterian Church. All applications should be handed in to Mr. G. Bremner before Tuesday of next week, March 31, No applications necessarily accepted.

BAZAAR …The young ladies of the Baptist Sunday school held a most successful bazaar at the church Tuesday evening. They also wish to thank the merchants who contributed articles for sale and made the success possible. About $40 were cleared and will be used to buy books for the library.

MASONIC HALL …

The new Masonic temple is now under construction. It will give the local lodge magnificent quarters.

1904 DANGER … A serious danger menaces Cranbrook. That is the “clique habit.” Nothing is so injurious to a town as “cliques,” political, social, or otherwise. A growing town needs unity of action to produce beneficial results.

Petty cliques are always bad for a community as a whole, as well as for

the individuals, who are mixed up in the business. Cut out the cliques and work together. We are going to have one of the best towns in the Kootenays providing we all work together.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY … Today The Herald is six years old. To the average individual who reads this, that does not mean much. To the publisher, and to those who have followed the varied fortunes of The Herald since its birth, it means a great deal. Six years in an old country, is but a brief span. But six years in a new and growing country means failure or fortune: it means life or death; it means happiness or despair; it means the making or unmaking of many human beings.

Those who have lived six years in Cranbrook, have witnessed many changes pass before their eyes. They have seen a hamlet of but a few buildings grow into a prosperous and promising town. They have seen men who started with a dollar develop into substantial business men with bank accounts that would satisfy most anybody.

They have seen little business enterprises develop into important commercial institutions with ample capital and a trade extending over a large territory. They have seen a town with a few inhabitants grow into a fine residential and commercial center.

They have seen a place with nothing but trails and rough wagon roads for communication, blossom forth as the railroad center of East Kootenay. They have seen all these things, and in consequence are inspired with a hope and faith in the future, which they have every reason to believe will be brighter and more prosperous than any period in the past. The Herald has been a part and parcel of this growth. It has breathed and lived Cranbrook’s failures and Cranbrook’s prosperity. It has one hope, one ambition, one desire, and that has been the success of Cranbrook and Cranbrook’s people.

THOSE SKUNKS! …

One or more individuals have been industrious the past two weeks circulating a report about the financial standing of

The Herald and its editor. When we heard it we were reminded, of a section of country in Illinois, near where we were raised. There were skunks to be found in the sandy region along the Mississippi river and some people were foolish enough to hunt them. We never did. The scalps were worthless and close contact with the animals left an unpleasant sensation on the olfactory nerves. For the satisfaction of our friends, however, we will state The Herald is all right financially and there are three meals a day in sight for the editor and his family for some time to come.

AT LAST … Last week, for the first time in the history of British Columbia, attorneys attended a session of assizes court without wigs.

The sun do move.

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW... Cranbrook is overlooking a splendid opportunity for advertising when it neglects to place an ore cabinet on the depot platform with a number of important points of information printed on a placard. Thousands of people from Eastern and Western Canada, the United States and England will pass through Cranbrook the coming year. The trains stop at Cranbrook ten to fifteen minutes, and most of these people will be out on the platform looking for information. The Cranbrook Board of Trade is derelict of its duty if it does not provide the information. It will be inexpensive and productive of much good to the district.

CLEAN UP …Extreme measures should be taken regarding sanitary conditions in town.

It is reported that refuse matter has been dumped within dangerous distance of residences. This should receive the immediate attention of the authorities, and the guilty parties should be given their just deserts. No town should take chances on matters of this kind, and it is time that Cranbrook was aroused to the serious nature of the dangers that menace her health.

CURLEY WON ...

The “glove contest” between Jack Curley and Jack Thompson at Wentworth Hall last

night was won by Curley in the second round.

The match was for $500 a side and gate receipts.

The contest was governed by straight Queensbury rules, hitting being allowed in the clinches, and instead of being a scientific exhibition of the “manly art” proved to be a slugging match from the start with the slugging all on one side.

Thompson was clearly outclassed and after punishing him severely with short arm blows in the wind and kidneys during the clinches Curley finished the fight in the second round with a terrific right to the jaw, scoring a clean knockout. It took several minutes after the decision to bring him to. Jim Burrows of Fernie was the referee. It is general consensus of opinion that Cranbrook does not need any more alleged “glove contests” and that “pugs” would do well to seek other fields.

1905 DO YOU WANT YOUR EYES EXAMINED? … Six months of time and study with one of the best eye specialists in Montreal was not spent for nothing, the results can be told by scores of people in this town and surrounding country. We have many unsolicited testimonials from people in Cranbrook, Moyie, Marysville, Fort Steele and Warder. Results count.

Our examinations are free, W. H. WILSON,

JEWELER AND OPTICIAN NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY …One windy day in Cranbrook not long ago, as we noticed the struggles of the ladies to keep their skirts in hand and the delicious delight of some of the men on the street, we were reminded of the following lines: “Old Satan stirred the naughty wind to toss the lady’s skirt, But God was kind and the man behind had his optics filled with dirt”.

NEW DUDS … Have you seen that new coat worn by John Hutchison. The coat of Biblical fame worn by Joseph, although perhaps more brilliant is not in it by comparison, and the far-famed neckties affected by Fred Smyth, of Moyie, sink into deep insignificance when arrayed alongside of this.

No man but Hutch would have nerve enough to don that coat, and walk down Baker Street.

It talks in seven different languages, and the noise of the C. P. R. boiler shop is a Spanish serenade compared with the noise of this garment. The checks are the size of a Bank of England note, and it has the aroma of the river Thames.

To all comment Hutch breaks forth in song as follows;, “It is mine and I’ll wear it, And don’t you come near it, For fear you will tear it, My beautiful coat.”

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Anger and frustration could be close to the surface. Why not take a walk to calm down? You could be very effective when dealing with others, as you’ll excel in your communication.

Tonight: Answer phone calls, and catch up on a neighbor’s news.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might want to give some more thought to how you want to present yourself in public.

Sometimes it’s important to evaluate your presentation and see whether it reflects your inner self. Be more authentic, and others will respond well to this change. Tonight: Out with the gang.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your energy seems endless to many people, especially if they try to keep up with you.

You simply are motivated and social. You’ll have to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to accomplish what you want.

Tonight: Buy a couple of spring

items for your wardrobe.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll pick up and feel more engaged in the afternoon. As of late, you have been dragging and handling more than your fair share of tension. Your mental outlook could suddenly change and help you to see the possibilities. Be open to feedback, too. Tonight: As you like it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll move through a meeting like lightning; however, sometime later in the afternoon, you might decide to slow down and reflect on your choices. Speak to a friend whose judgment you trust, and air your concerns.

Tonight: Not to be found.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might feel as if you have to respond to nearly everyone right now. Prioritize in order to stay on top of what you must be. Meet a friend or business associate for an early dinner.

Outside of a pressured situation, both of you will be more open.

Tonight: Head home early.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You see situations from a broad-

er perspective than your contemporaries do. You might not choose to share what you see at present. You have some research to do, and you’ll need to check out some facts. Tonight: A must appearance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Relate to others individually in order to get the results you seek. A discussion could drop some juicy pieces of gossip on you, which you might want to keep to yourself. Use good sense with your finances, especially if you feel a little tight. Tonight: Follow your imagination.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others will express interest in what you are doing. Still, you might feel a disconnect that makes you rather uptight. How you deal with this uneasiness is up to you. An open discussion could help more than you realize. Tonight: Dinner with a dear friend or loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) All work and no play might not work for you right now. You recently have realized the importance of having a well-balanced

life. You could feel pushed by someone who demands to have things his or her way. Laugh, and let this go for now. Tonight: Be available.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You seem to be in the position of being everyone’s adviser. Yes, you are resourceful, and will be all day, but being so needed might hinder your desire for freedom. Today you can juggle everything, but you won’t be able to sustain this pace every day. Tonight: Take a personal night.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Hopefully you have decided to slow your pace, even if you initially believed it was impossible. Everyone needs some time away from work and demanding people. Why would you be any different? Relax and do only what you must. Tonight: Get into the moment.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am very concerned about my brother’s daughters, ages 18 and 20.

My brother and his wife divorced when the girls were young. He and his ex do not get along and communicate poorly. She often berates him, and he remains silent.

Their daughters were shuttled back and forth between their parents’ homes, but they lived mainly with their mother. Last fall, she announced that she had had enough and the girls would now live with their father while they attend college nearby.

The girls have been with my brother and his wife for several months, and they are miserable. They have no friends there.

They communicate very little with their father and stepmother and remain in their bedrooms most of the day. My brother’s wife has reached out to them, to no avail.

The older girl is doing well in school, but the younger one dropped out. She promised to get a job, but hasn’t found one yet.

I don’t think she is very motivated.

My brother buys his daughters whatever they want, but they have little respect for him. He buries his head in the sand when it comes to the problems in his home. My nieces have no direction and little self-esteem. The atmosphere in their house is toxic, and I can’t stand by and do nothing.

What do you suggest? -- Concerned Aunt Dear Aunt: We can tell that you care a great deal about your nieces, but they are both adults. They do not need to live with their father unless they choose to. Dad seems quite willing to support them financially, and their stepmother has tried to help. If the atmosphere is as toxic as you say, both girls would be eager to relocate.

We think a lot of this is the girls’ choice and unconnected to Dad’s home. If you truly want to help, please spend more time with your nieces, either in person or online. See what’s going on. Perhaps you could give the younger one pointers on finding a job. She may be unmotivated because Dad doesn’t demand that she find employment, which he should. At the very least, you would be another source of emotional support for them.

Dear Annie: When my husband and I married, his family let me know they didn’t like me. He already had an ex-wife, and their two children were the only ones who counted.

My husband and I adopted several children of various races and nationalities.

It amazed me that my in-laws acted as though I had adopted them by myself, “burdening” my husband, when, in fact, he loved them unconditionally. We loved all of the children, including the kids from his first marriage.

Our children picked up on the fact that the grandparents cared little for them. My husband seldom visited them because of it. When he died, I found his mother’s obituary, which he had hidden from me.

I was hurt all over again when it listed by name two surviving grandchildren and “five stepgrandchildren.” -- Over It Now Dear Over: In situations like this, it is always the grandparents who lose out. How sad for everyone.

David Edmund Rayfield January 8, 1942 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; March 19, 2015 Dave departed this world peacefully with his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loving arms wrapped around him.

A massive stroke ended his pain and the suffering of rheumatoid arthritis he endured for over 22 years. He fought many battles and faced his foe yet he was not without his gentler side. A very caring, considerate husband, father, brother and uncle, he had love in his heart. Dave was a great story teller and his word was his bond.

His mother often said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They broke the mold when Dave was bornâ&#x20AC;?. With more energy than most, he lived his life to its fullest and on his own terms, right to the end!

In his younger years when he lived at the coast, Dave worked at Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race track before school; he was in cubs, scouts, army cadets and the reserves.

Dave took boxing lessons at the Bridgeport Legion and at 10 years old, he won the Marpole Community Center Bronze Glove Trophy. He spent a summer with the Island Department of Fisheries survey crew; drove cab in Vancouver; delivered â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honey Cream Donutsâ&#x20AC;?; was a short order cook at White Spot and the Floating Lady Alexander restaurant and was employed at Ballards Dog Food Company. At age 18 Dave started to learn the glazier business which eventually led him to open and operate his own businesses â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creston Glassâ&#x20AC;? and later â&#x20AC;?Ample Glassâ&#x20AC;? in Cranbrook.

Your community foundation.

During his 30â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion was raising thoroughbred horses on his Creston farm, having had horses since he was 10. He played drums and sang in his band for both small and large gigs in various cities, and he was a beautiful dancer.

Dave started fishing as a teen off Qualicum beach in his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small 12 foot boat, and spent many, many years on BC lakes as well as camping and hunting with his pack horses and his life-long friends, George and Dave. He was a respected outdoorsman, conservationist and horseman. Dave also enjoyed golfing, holdem poker and water skiing on Kootenay Lake. He was on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate payerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council and volunteered at the animal shelter and fire hall in Creston. He was very proud to have provided a home close by for his parents for over 25 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and to have successful businesses with only a grade 7 education.

Dave will be sadly missed and never forgotten by his wife Bev and extended family that included daughter Destiny, son David, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Otherâ&#x20AC;? son Brad (Suthida); Sisters-in-law Gladys(Brian) Laing, Dianne(Stephen) Morton, grand children and many close nieces and nephews.

features Discovering the person that you are POINTS from

Anastasia Bartlet t

I spoke to my daughter the other night, the one who is trying to make it in the music industry. She said after years of hard work and struggle, she has reached the point where she feels entitled to call herself ‘a musician who has a part-time job to make ends meet’ instead of someone who only plays around with music as a hobby.

I think she is very wise. She has reached a point in her young life that it has taken me over three decades.

If I could write a letter to my younger self, I think I would say ‘relax, believe in yourself and don’t worry what others think of you.’

My parents were nomads. I attended six schools in locations from Vancouver to Montreal. As an introverted nerd, I did not fit into readily established cliques of kids who had

been together since kindergarten. Rather then blend into the background, I drew attention to myself by asking questions in class, and by my complete and total lack of fashion sense in high school having up to then attended schools requiring uniforms. I was totally confused as to what was expected of me and tried to blend chameleon-like with whatever group I was with. As I floated from group to group trying to belong, I suppressed more of who I really was and what I should have been doing all along.

I was in math and sciences but I loved English, especially legally reading books in class.

But best of all was working on a creative writing assignment. Unfortunately, I never called myself a writer nor did anyone else. According to others, I was destined to be employed in the

Cover design unveiled for new Harper Lee novel ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - The cover for Harper Lee’s new novel will surely remind you of the cover for her old one.

On Wednesday, HarperCollins unveiled the jacket art for Lee’s “Go Set a Watchman,” the unexpected follow-up to her classic “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

The new cover, like the one for “To Kill a Mockingbird,” is a moody illustration featuring an oak tree in front, but also shows train tracks and a train in the distance. In a statement released by HarperCollins, company President Michael Morrison noted that “Go Set a Watchman” begins with “Mockingbird” protagonist Scout Finch returning by train 20 years later, in the 1950s, to her native Alabama.

“There are so many wonderful parts of ‘Go Set a Watchman’ that it was hard to pick just one iconic image to represent the book,” Morrison said. “This design is perfect - it draws on the style of the decade the book was written, but with a modern twist.”

Jonathan Burnham, a publisher and senior vice-president at HarperCollins, said that creating an entirely new image had “certainly crossed our minds,” but that he and others kept coming back “to the central idea that the cover should in some ways connect to ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.”’

An oak tree, “Mockingbird” fans know, can be found on the property where the reclusive Boo Radley lives, in Lee’s fictional Maycomb, Alabama.

HarperCollins has announced a first printing of 2 million copies and a July 14 release date for “Watchman.”

Pre-orders have kept the book high on Amazon. com’s bestseller list despite ongoing concerns about the quality of the novel, which Lee wrote before “Mockingbird,” and about the 88-yearold Lee’s involvement in the publication.

She has long expressed satisfaction with having “Mockingbird,” which came out in 1960, as her only published book and has avoided the press for decades.

math and science field, so writing was just my hobby.

As an adult, I attempted to conform despite my non-conformist true self. I bit my lip and tried to avoid rocking the boat, even though I knew the boat needed to be rocked or better still,capsized.

I wrote dry technical reports in my job. Occasionally I had an opportunity to work on an outside, unofficial creative writing project. But they still didn’t make me a writer.

Unfortunately, over the years, I became very good at sabotaging myself. When I tried to please others, I would stress and worry, afraid of doing something wrong. When I tried to please myself, I felt I was wasting my time by doing something insignificant or not worth the effort. This type of thinking led to mediocre performances in both areas.

Since I was apparently living someone else’s life, I really wasn’t sure of what I was doing and my lack of confidence became a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more I felt I was missing the mark, the more I missed it, the more I cared about doing things to please others, the more I screwed up. It wasn’t until I left the formal workplace and entered the informal, fly-by-theseat-of-yourpants world of wife and motherhood that I was actually able to explore who I really was with the full support of my husband and children.

“Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make Thy way straight before my face.” Psalm 5:8. My husband underlined this for me. I realized I’d been asking God to bless my plans rather than joining in with His. My prayer was ‘make my way straight before

Your face. I would ask God to bless something I had already decided rather than asking what He wanted me to do.

“Do everything with a blessing” is not the same as “bless everything I do.” I realized daily I should ask God to direct my path. I should live every moment prayerfully, to see what He is doing so I can faithfully do my part. So I asked God what He wanted me to do, and He provided me with the opportunities to write...and I did.

Now I call myself a writer who works parttime to make ends meet.

So, let me amend my advice to my younger self; ‘Relax, believe in God, follow His lead and you will discover who you are.’

DAVID WILKS

MP Kootenay - Columbia

Whether we reside in the KootenayColumbia, or other parts of Canada; our most valuable assets are our loved ones.

Regardless of the topic I am speaking of with Kootenay-Columbia constituents; each day I hear a common theme come from each of them. Canadians want to know that there is care and support for their loved ones. This theme becomes a stronger message when their loved ones are Canadian Veterans.

When a Canadian Veteran suffers a debilitating injury as a result of their service for Canada, the economic impact on their lives is drastic. It is for this reason that the government implemented financial supports, such as the Earnings Loss Benefit.

The Earning Loss Benefit provides Veterans, who have suffered from a career-ending injury, with a minimum of 75% of their pre-release military salary until they are 65 years of age.

While economic security in the years leading to retirement is important, our government recognizes that injuries which qualify for the Earning Loss Benefit will also likely impede a Veterans capacity to save for retirement. To address this, our government has proposed a new Retirement Income Security Benefits. The proposed Benefit would provide retirement income to those who have benefitted from the Earning Loss Benefit, through the following standards: •

Applications will be individualized , or on a case-by-case basis;

•

Payments would be made monthly, taking into account how much the Veteran was receiving from Veteran Affairs Canada before the age of 65;

•

Beneficiaries would receive a minimum of 70% of what he or she received before the age of 65;

•

Monthly benefits will also be extended to a Veteran’s survivor;

•

This benefit will automatically kick in and not require action by the Veteran.

The proposed new Benefit is direct response to concerns that were raised by constituent representatives, including the Veterans Ombudsman and the House of Commons’ Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.

A guide to harnessing the seven chakras Hello Wendy, I was reading your column and thought I would ask you a few questions that your guides may be able to help me with. I was wondering if I will ever accomplish a few of my goals? One being will I get my masters degree within the next two years? Will I meet a man that will be acceptable for a long-term relationship?

I’m still single but trying to be more selective. I feel all “topsy turvy” trying to establish a stable line of communication in my work area and juggling all of my goals that I need to accomplish. Can you and your guides offer any suggestions that may help me?

Frustrated and Fran-

Dear Frustrated and Frantic, Well, first of all I don’t think you are really feeling frantic. I think you are feeling unbalanced in all that you have going on around you. I also haven’t heard the term “topsy turvy” for a long time it’s rather cute and it gave me a chuckle so thank you for that.

You will complete your master’s degree not in two years but in four years. You have a tendency to take on too many projects at once hence becoming unbalanced.

Your anxiety is high and the higher the anxiety the more you think you can accomplish.

Not being able to realize or acknowledges that you have anxiety disorder has become a defeatist situation for you in many areas of your life when your anxiety gets so high.

We see you meeting a man for a permanent relationship at the end of next year. However, this man will not be living in the same area as you are living in at this time.

Currently, I am teaching my anxiety class and offer many different techniques on how they can take control of their anxiety instead of their anxiety being in control of them.

One of the many techniques, which I want to discuss with you, is how to energize, balance and

American and Russian blasting off for science

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - An American astronaut and Russian cosmonaut will leave Earth this week and move into the International Space Station for an entire year.

Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko begin their marathon

mission with a Soyuz rocket launch from Kazakhstan early Saturday - Friday in the U.S. They should arrive at the orbiting outpost six hours later.

It will be NASA’s first stab at a one-year spaceflight, a predecessor for Mars expeditions that would last two to three

times as long. The Russians are old hands at this, but it’s been nearly two decades since a cosmonaut has spent close to a year in orbit.

Both Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko have lived on the space station before. No-nonsense former military men, they were selected

as an astronaut and cosmonaut in the 1990s.

Kelly, 51, is a retired Navy captain and former space shuttle commander. Kornienko, 54, is a former paratrooper.

The pair will blast off with Russian Gennady Padalka, a veteran spaceman who will spend six months at the

orbiting lab.

Kelly and Kornienko will remain on board until next March. During that time, they will undergo extensive medical experiments, and prepare the station for the anticipated 2017 arrival of new U.S. commercial crew capsules. That means a series of spacewalks for Kelly. They also will oversee the comings and goings of numerous cargo ships, as well as other Russian-launched crews.

Soprano superstar Sarah Brightman will stop by as a space tourist in September.

Doctors are eager to learn what happens to Kelly and Kornienko once they surpass the usual six-month stay for space station residents.

Bones and muscles

weaken in weightlessness, as does the immune system. Body fluids also shift into the head when gravity is absent, and that puts pressure on the brain and the eyes, impairing vision for some astronauts in space. Might these afflictions peter out after six months, hold steady or ramp up?

That’s what researchers want to find out so they can protect Mars-bound crews in the decades ahead.

NASA’s scientists couldn’t resist when Kelly’s identical twin brother, Mark, a retired astronaut, agreed to take part in many of the same medical experiments as his orbiting sibling.

Researchers are eager to see how the

space body compares with its genetic double on the ground. They won’t follow the same diet or exercise regime, however. Mark said he has no intentions of consuming bland space-type food or working out and running two hours a day on a treadmill, as his brother will be doing.

NASA and the Russian Space Agency announced Kelly and Kornienko as the oneyear crew in late 2012.

This will be new territory for NASA, which has never flown anyone longer than seven consecutive months.

The Russians hold the world record of 14 months, set by a physician-cosmonaut aboard the former Mir station in 1994-1995.

Fossil of ‘Super Salamander’ found ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON - Fossil remains of a previously unknown species of a crocodile-like “super salamander” that grew as long as a small car and was a top predator more than 200 million years ago have been found in southern Portugal, researchers announced Tuesday.

The species grew up to two meters (six feet) in length and lived in lakes and rivers, University of Edinburgh researchers said.

The team said the species, given the name

Metoposaurus algarvensis, was part of a wider group of primitive amphibians that were widespread at the time but became extinct.

They are the ancestors of modern amphibians such as frogs, and are believed by paleontologists to have lived at the same time the dinosaurs began their dominance.

Steve Brusatte of the University of Edinburgh’s School of GeoSciences, who led the study, said the new species, which had hundreds of sharp teeth, is “weird compared to

anything today.”

It was at the top of the food chain, feeding mainly on fish, but it was also a danger for newly appeared dinosaurs and mammals that strayed too near the water, Brusatte said.

The dig in Portugal began in 2009 and took several years. The “super salamander” bones were uncovered in a half-meter thick layer of rock in a hillside that is “chock-full” of bones, Brusatte said.

The team hopes to raise funds to continue excavating the site.
