Sculpture to be dedicated Saturday 1 p.m. May 9 in front of Library C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Most would agree that Kimberley has successfully made the transition from mining town to tourism/lifestyle community. But most would also agree that Kimberley’s mining heritage should not be forgotten, and that those new to town should be aware of what built Kimberley.
To that end, a new sculpture by local artists Tony and Twila Austin has been installed in front of the Kimberley Public Library in the Platzl. The Sullivan Mine Commemorative sculpture will be dedicated in a special ceremony on Saturday, May 9 at 1 p.m. at the site. The sculpture is constructed of forged, repousse` and welded mild steel, and incorporates a large piece of ore and a jackleg drill from the Sullivan Mine. See SCULPTURE, p. 5

Canadian Tire to take over large space in Tamarack Mall
On Monday, all across Canada students joined together to sing an anthem that celebrates music in school.

Then local The answer to the musicians performed. Mrs. Harries performed a beautiful song on the piano. Then Alex Buterman played a fun song on the guiquestion of what to do tar. That was followed by Mr. Kaldstadt and his guitarist Mike singing and playing the guitar.

Cranbrook to host Gospel Music convention, jamboree BARRY COULTER
The Canadian convention of the Country Gospel Music Association (CGMA) is coming to Cranbrook, June 2227, 2015. Country Gospel Week in Cranbrook will be celebrated with a jamboree at the Newlife Foursquare Church, featuring performers from all over Canada and the U.S. The CGMA has its headquarters in Bran-
son, Missouri, and has about 6,000 members worldwide. CGMA founder Billy Hale and his wife Donna will be in attendance in Cranbrook, coming in from Branson. A renowned gospel musician in his own right, Hale has also had many secular hits on the Country Music billboard, according to local organizer John Dumas. “(Hale) sounds a bit like Willy Nelson,” Dumas said.
He added the the Hales founded the CGMA awards program to honour, encourage and endorse one another — “though as Christians we don’t need that — it’s not a competition.” Dumas said the public is welcome to attend the jamboree, which will be held at the New Life Foursquare Gospel Church, on 10th Avenue South in Cranbrook. The former Central
School, the convention will be held in the church sanctuary, the former gymnasium, where the acoustics are excellent, Dumas said. “There will be lots of talent here,” that’s for sure,” Dumas said. “From Cranbrook and elsewhere.” Monday through Saturday, the mornings and afternoons are
given over to worship and classes in ministry and music related subjects. The evenings are given over to performance, locals and professional performers from home and abroad will take to the stage for music in a variety of genres. And more than 40 awards be given out. Also in attendance will be Cranbrook’s own
Ed King, himself a multitime winner at the Gospel Music Awards, and Bob Leslie, National chaplain for CGMA Canada, who is originally from Kimberley. Dumas said that Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt has proclaimed June 22 through 27 Canadian Country Gospel Music Week in Cranbrook.
A fundraising event for the jamboree is being held May 29, featuring Ed King and other performers. See Friday’s Daily Townsman for more details. For more information on the the convention and jamboree, or to register, contact John Dumas at 250-417-3360, or Bill Petrie at 250-4260175.

Last meeting after 89 years at Selkirk Masonic Hall For the Bulletin
On Monday, April 20th , Harmony Chapter #45, Order of the Eastern Star, held an exciting, history-making meeting. Worthy Matron, Ruby Rioux and Worthy Patron, Sandy Marshall and their newly installed officers, were honoured with the presence of 54 members to help them celebrate Harmony’s 89th birthday. An often heard somment that evening was “just like old times” and “ I can remember when this was the usual.” Worthy Matron, Ruby Rioux welcomed all and with the assistance of Conductress, Ddi Stroud, directed the f ollowing presentations. Worthy Grand Matron, Carmen Pierce from Duncan and Worthy Grand Patron, Keith Glen from Enderby were presented at the altar, welcomed, escorted to the East, introduced and given the Grand Honours. Past Grand Matrons, Rena Davis from Nelson, Eileen Palmieri from Golden and Glenis Allen from Whitehorse and Past Grand Patron, Ken Nuttila from Haney were presented at the altar, welcomed, escorted East, introduced and given the Grand Honours. Grand Officerrs, Grand Ruth, Frances Stringer from Grand Forks and Grand Trustee, Carolyn Lyle from Hope,
were presented in the West, welcomed, escorted East, introduced and given a hearty welcome. Grand Representatives representing their G rand Jurisdiction, Richard Stringer, of Grand Forks representing New Jersey; Valera Pepper of Cranbrook, representing Virginia; Patricia Glen from Enderby representing Puerto Rico; Dale Watson from Cranbrook, representing New Hampshire; and Lorraine Pommier from Harmony, representing Tennessee were presented in the West, welcomed, escorted to the East introduced and given a hearty welcome.

Golden Stars, members with over 50 years membership were welcomed and given a very hearty welcome as were Honorary Members and Life members. Worthy Grand Matron, brought greetings from the BC Grand Chapter and offered their good wishes for future birthdays. Her message for the occasion was entitled: Mean it when you say, I love you! and her conclusion was: “ Know that I love you, each and everyone!” Worthy Grand Patron echoed her remarks and offered his personal good wishes for Harmony’s future. Rena Davis of Nelson
was happy to be back with us in the East Kootenay and congratulated Sr. Ruby on her first meeting. AM Judy Chorney congratulated and thanked the new Worthy Matron on behalf of her officers. Past Grand Matron, Glenis Allen and Past Grand Patron explained that during their year in the Grand East, the chain of Friendship was their motto. To augment this theme, they took Harmony’s Travelling Gavel, hand-crafted by Albert Frick, to every Chapter within the Jurisdiction for the use of the Matron of the day. They were very pleased to have 13 members of their Grand family present for the occasion. The members of that group in their ‘orange’ made a spectacular sight and received a roaring welcome. Besides presenting the returning gavel, Past Grand Matron presented the Worthy Matron with a log of all the visit s that it had made in that year. As a token of their love, the Past Grands were presented with token log books from their Star family members of2014 as a memorial of that year. Congratulatory messages were heard from Whitehorse #95, Canyon #70, Florence #53, Mizpah #36, Maple Leaf #19 and Nechako #40 as well as the local chapters.

ties. “As an investor in the oilpatch, you’re going to get your teeth kicked in, probably,” one not-so-optimistic Calgary portfolio manager, Rafi Tahmazian, told CBC News. It is the same old, tired cliche that people have believed for years. Right wing parties can manage the economy, left wing parties will lead you to financial ruin. But is it true? Not necessarily. If you look at the federal level, the last government to run Canada with a surplus was the left-leaning, or at least centrist, Liberal Party. The rightwing conservatives, renowned for their fiscal management turned that surplus into a deficit and have been running with it ever since, the recent “balanced” budget notwithstanding. The NDP could very well do just fine, although there are troubled financial waters to navigate. It may be that trying to right Alberta’s oil-based economy at a time of falling oil prices is beyond the ability of any political party. We do love to blame our governments for economic woes, and just as there are only so many things a government can do to control an economy, there are only so many options available to a population to indicate displeasure. One of them is throw the bums out. And Alberta just did. Carolyn Grant is the Editor of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Letters to the Editor
Honesty in politics
Our elected officials’ honesty and respect for the electorate continues to decline. The recent election in Alberta demonstrates this. People going to the polls have every right to expect the person for whom they vote will keep party affiliation and not bolt to a party unapproved by the voter. What an onerous, disrespectful and dishonest way to treat their constituents. And last evening a party leader was elected and then immediately resigned. What, pray tell, kind of honest representation is this? And what, one may ask, is the cost to the suffering taxpayer of calling another election and the subsequent vote? Why run in the first place? Surely we have every right to expect far more from those selected to guide and represent us. For example. Why not the establishment of a path of decency, honesty and fairness working toward a prosperous and enjoyable future for us our children and grandchildren? This in itself would be a great step toward better government Bob Pearce Cranbrook
Radar Sign
I am writing this letter in regards to the radar signs that have been set up around town. The main one being the radar sign a block north of Kinsmen Park. If this is to try and slow down local traffic, I find it useless to have the speed visible to the public. Yes, they will slow down going past the sign, go into a nice 46km/h, but as soon as they’re past the sign, they’re accelerating into well past 50km/h.
In my opinion, if you want effective speed monitoring, or you want to just evaluate how fast the average driver goes up Victoria, set up hidden radar. Set up radar cameras with sound and listen to the obnoxious tailpipes of the inconsiderate speed racers who rally up the hill. Set up cameras to see how many people illegally pass others or how many pedestrians don’t make it across the crosswalk because drivers are going too fast down the hill to even stop. People know the speed limit on Victoria Avenue. There has been too much discussion and news regarding the speed limit for people to not be aware of it, so are you really making a difference posting a larger sign? It’s simply a game for people to play with. It’s telling people their speeds — it’s a speedometer. Not an effective way to reduce speeding. If we don’t have adequate police to stop people speeding in this area, then let’s bring in technology that will do it for them. Dan Shynuk Cranbrook
Fluoride
I am not at all certain that your readers are aware that the “fluoride” added to Cranbrook’s water is not the naturally occurring calcium fluoride but fluorosilicic acid, which is an industrial waste product. I was made aware of this only recently myself when I received information from the City that ClearTech Industries out of Saskatoon supplies them with the material. When I looked it up online, ClearTech only supplies fluorosilicic acid; not calcium fluoride. The nature of the product was verified through the written reply I received from the City regarding the Council’s Bud-
get plans. After learning this, I looked up articles on the health benefits of calcium fluoride, finding a fair amount of information online, but I didn’t find one article that stated that there were health benefits from fluorosilicic acid – not even dental benefits. In my research, I came across information about calcium fluoride supplements. However, an article on the CDC website dated August 7, 2001 states: “All fluoride supplements must be prescribed by a dentist or physician”. In Canada, the CDA position is: “Before prescribing fluoride supplements, a thorough clinical examination, dental caries risk assessment and informed consent with patients/caregivers are required” (CDA Resolution of March, 2000). I have great appreciation for our dental community, but I have difficulty understanding why the ingestion of fluoride is not strictly managed by dentists and other health care professionals. It doesn’t make sense to me that this responsibility is being placed upon municipal governments rather than the CDA or Health Canada. Some might say there is concern that those in the lower economic stream would lack the ability to access such supplements. However, I remember being given fluoride supplements free of charge at school as a child. If our governments and health care communities want to take up similar implementation, I imagine it can be done. As it stands, the poorly managed and monitored pouring of fluorosilicic acid into our water looks like “passing the buck” to me, even leaving municipal governments vulnerable to litigation over this practice. Carole Telman Cranbrook
Traumatization: It’s in the DNA “I begin to find that too good a character is inconvenient.” Sir Walter Scott
It
is quite possible that I am traumatised. It is difficult to tell in these strange times but I am sitting here very carefully, not moving at all because I saw on TV this morning that a ninety-four year old woman was recently fined because of the noise that her rocking-chair was making. I try very hard to sit absolutely still these days. I wonder if I too have a penchant for rocking. I can’t quite see me being that way yet but some of my relatives jiggle one of their legs up and down at high speed when they are sitting talking to me. I usually think how great it would be to harness all that energy while, at the same moment, the jiggler is probably wondering when I’ll stop maundering on. I was probably maundering on recently because I had opted (in a moment of insanity) to check a couple of these ancestry sites that are being advertised and maybe learn what my D.N.A. is all about. To me it was an expensive waste of time and money for I was sent pictures of lots of ugly babies and women in funny hats. Being a footie (soccer) fan I was delighted to learn that one of my cousin’s

sons was on the Arsenal Football club but I cooled somewhat when I learned that he was merely one of the boys who pick up the soiled shower towels after the game. That was before he was apprenticed to a plumber. There was a distant Warland female who danced on stage, often on the prestigious West End shows. At one time she was thirteenth feline from stage right in Cats. My neighbour thought that he was descended Peter from a line of droids; he Warland became excited and somewhat boastful until his wife pointed out to him that the word wasn’t droids: it was druids, the medicine men from ancient Europe, but she was interested. “That explains a lot of stuff,” she proclaimed, giving him one of those ‘looks’. Jake discovered that one of his kinfolk, way back, had an affair with an aristocratic lady while he was a lowly chauffeur. Jake thought, Wow! Downton Abbey and all that stuff! But, as he read on he discovered that his chauffeur relative got shot — by mistake, naturellement — by the squire’s game-keeper. Nothing much came of the affair because the justice of the peace just happened to be the squire’s uncle. Jennifer also got herself all wound up about the strange behaviour of her hus-
band Dennis. She tried to get him to send in a sample of his saliva, but he wasn’t into that nonsense. He had done a great deal of erratic reading and said, “According to all the scientists, we all originated in South Africa but, strangely, they don’t explain why we don’t all understand Afrikaans.” His persistent wife scooped some drool from his T-shirt and submitted it anyway. The results should be interesting. According to my own DNA I should blue eyes, brown hair, be 2.5 per cent Neanderthal — but not knuckle walk — and have a tendency to talk too much. I was also surprised to see the same information concluded that I should have died of heart failure fifty years ago Ah, well! Maybe I did; it’s hard to tell. But I did better than friend Matthew, who has a proclivity for inane behaviour and has been called Hazmat for some time now. He, for a laugh, managed to obtain a fair sample of his dog’s saliva and sent it in to be analyzed. He received a message informing him that his ancestry was from Norway, Afghanistan and Portugal. There was not one hint of Newfoundland. So who can you trust with your hard-earned money? Now I sit here and think about DNA, my life and how I have probably wasted it and reckon I should get up and accomplish something useful. Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be and, besides, if I stay here any longer I might begin to rock.

CFL hopes to broaden appeal to millenials Dan R alph Canadian Press
TORONTO - Newly minted CFL commissioner Jeffrey Orridge says once younger Canadians are exposed to his league, they’ll be hooked. And he’s looking to a U.S.-based company that brands itself as the “millennial voice and destination for sports” to help lure the next generation of fans. On Wednesday, the CFL announced a partnership with Whistle Sports, a multi-channel digital network with millions of subscribers on platforms including YouTube and Facebook. “The idea is just to continue to expose it to as many people as possible . . . younger audiences have many entertainment choices out there right now but we feel very confident the CFL, once exposed to it, is an entertainment choice they’re going to make over and over again,” said Orridge. Since being appointed head of the league in March, Orridge said at-
tracting younger fans is a top priority. According to the CFL, Whistle Sports has “extensive reach across all major platforms among millennials ... including 31 million likes on Facebook, 16 million subscribers, 11 million followers on Instagram, six million on Twitter and four million on Vine.” To mark the partnership, a video of Hamilton Tiger-Cats SB Andy Fantuz breaking the world record for most one-handed catches in one minute was released. The video can be seen on YouTube and shows Fantuz making 50 grabs of passes from Calgary’s Bo Levi Mitchell and Saskatchewan’s Darian Durant. “Once again we’re able to showcase the incredible athleticism of exceptional players,” Orridge said. “I think sometimes their abilities are often either under-estimated or overlooked because they’re so accessible or because they’re such proud stellar members of our community.” Brian Selander, the
executive VP of Whistle Sports, said the CFL deal offers his company something unique. “Our rapidly growing global audience doesn’t really recognize borders when they think about sports content,” he said in an email. “Is it fun? Is it interesting? Is it positive and can I like, share and comment on it? “When those questions are met, the views and fans follow. The CFL presented a really interesting opportunity to bring a new set of players and teams to the table.” Selander said additional videos featuring CFL players are coming. “We’ve already done videos with 10 of the CFL’s top players that will be rolling out as we get closer to the start of the season,” he said. “The Andy Fantuz record-breaking video has already been seen by Whistle Sports fans in several countries. And Orridge said the CFL will be unveiling other programs aimed at attracting and keeping younger fans.

Based out of Castlegar, the 2007 Kootenay Avalanche featured a little bit of East Kootenay flair. Kayson Christian, Caelen Cross and Avery Lynch, all of Cranbrook, represented the East Kootenay on the 2007 Avalanche spring hockey team this spring. This was the first spring together for the team and it accomplished a great amount during its season, finishing third at the Mainland Hockey Tournament,
April 10 to 12, in Vancouver with a 2-3-0 record. Following the Mainland Hockey Tournament, the 2007 Avalanche travelled to the Interior for the Salmon Arm Spring Showdown, where they skated to a 4-0-2 mark, claiming first place. The final tournament of the season took the 2007 Avalanche back to the Lower Mainland, as they went 4-0-1 in Burnaby, including a semifinal victory that came in the final 10 seconds of regulation.
CHICAGO - Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander has been given the go-ahead to resume throwing. Verlander has been sidelined since the start of the season due to a strained right triceps. “This is a first step,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. The club said Wednesday that Verlander was examined by Dr. Tony Romeo, who reviewed an MRI. The 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner “was given the clearance to resume a throwing progression designed to return him to full competition.” Verlander made about 50 throws in the outfield Wednesday before Detroit’s game at the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers don’t have a timetable for possible return for Verlander, who won’t throw off a mound for a while.

Deflategate: NFL investigation finds Patriots employees probably deflated footballs Eddie Pells Associated Press
Tom Brady: Unbelievable. The 243-report on “Deflategate” came out Wednesday and stopped barely short of calling the Patriots star quarterback a cheater. It did, however, call some of his claims “implausible” and left little doubt that he had a role in having footballs deflated before New England’s AFC title game against Indianapolis in January and probably in previous games. In his report, attorney Ted Wells said the quarterback “was at least generally aware” of all the plans to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch. Wells said it was “more probable than not” that two Patriots employees - officials’ locker room attendant Jim McNally and equipment assistant John Jastremski executed the plan. For his trouble, McNally asked for expen-
sive shoes and signed footballs, jerseys and cash. He brokered the deals over a series of salty text messages with Jastremski that portray Brady as a hard-toplease taskmaster. “F--Tom,” one read. For the biggest home game of the season, McNally came through, taking the footballs from the officials’ locker room into a bathroom before delivering them to the field, the report said. The footballs - measured by officials at halftime- somehow lost pressure between being tested by the referee and the break. As for Brady’s claims he didn’t know of efforts to deflate game balls and didn’t know anything about what McNally did: “We found these claims not plausible and contradicted by other evidence,” Wells wrote. The penalties for all this? To be determined. League executive vice-president of football operations Troy Vincent is reviewing the report and will hand
down the punishment. Former NFL executive Bill Polian, familiar with the league’s crime-and-punishment procedures after spending 19 years on the powerful competition committee, said the term Wells used - “more probable than not” - has been the standard of proof the NFL has used for com-
petitive violations over the last six years. “In short, he is finding there was a violation,” Polian said. “In many ways I think this report is as important as the discipline. It clearly says a violation occurred.” This off-season, the league has fined the Falcons $350,000 and stripped a fifth-round draft pick for pumping artificial crowd noise into the stadium during
home games. It also suspended Browns GM Ray Farmer four games for sending texts to the sideline during games last season. By almost any account, this rules violation is more serious. It involves arguably the league’s top star, a fourtime Super Bowl winner who is bound for the Hall of Fame, and its marquee team - one that has spent almost the last decade under the microscope after getting caught in the videotaping scandal dubbed “Spygate” in 2007. One sign of the real-world reaction: The gambling website Bovada took down all betting odds on the Patriots until it finds out whether Brady will be suspended. Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe tweeted this: “Brady must be suspended for minimum of 2-4 gms, Belichick gets 1 yr and tm loses 1st rd draft pick 2016-17.” Back in 2007, it was coach Bill Belichick in the crosshairs for cheat-
ing. This report didn’t find any evidence that Belichick or the coaching staff knew anything about deflating the balls. Owner Robert Kraft called the conclusion “incomprehensible.” But he said the Patriots would accept the findings and any subsequent discipline. The report cites evidence McNally took the game balls into a bath-
room adjacent to the field, and stayed there for about 100 seconds “an amount of time sufficient to deflate thirteen footballs using a needle.” Other evidence included referee Walt Anderson’s inability to locate the previously approved footballs at the start of the game - the first time that had happened to him in 19 years. The report includes text messages between McNally and Jastremski - sent in October and
January - that imply Brady was requesting deflated footballs. The texts also imply that Brady had previously been upset with the quality of the game balls. They described requests from McNally for swag from Brady in exchange for deflating the balls. “Remember to put a couple sweet pig skins ready for tom to sign,” one said. “Nice throw in some kicks and make it real special,” another said. A footnote in the report mentions that Brady put up better stats in the second half of New England’s 45-7 romp over Indianapolis - after the Colts had relayed suspicions of under-inflated footballs and they had been pumped up to regulation level. Footballs with less pressure can be easier to grip and catch. Some QBs prefer footballs that have less air, and Brady played a role in a 2006 rewriting of the rules that allowed visiting teams to supply the footballs it
would use on offence. In investigating Brady, Wells said he was hindered by the quarterback’s refusal to provide his own emails, texts or phone records. But using Jastremski’s phone records, Wells detected an increase in the frequency of phone calls and texts between Brady and the equipment assistant shortly after suspicions of tampering went public. After not communicating via phone or text for six months, they spoke six times on the phone over the course of three days. Nowhere in the 243 pages does Wells use the word “cheat” or “cheater” in reference to Brady or anyone else. But it’s not hard to read between the lines: “We believe it is unlikely that an equipment assistant and a locker room attendant would deflate game balls without Brady’s knowledge and approval,” Wells wrote. AP Sports Writers Jimmy Golen (Boston) & Mike Marot (Indianapolis) contributed to report.

Swedish race walker banned for using PEDs ASSOCIATED PRESS
STOCKHOLM - Swedish sports officials have banned race walker Andreas Gustafsson for two years after he was found guilty of using the blood-boosting hormone EPO. The sports confederation’s an-
ti-doping unit says the 33-year-old failed a drugs test conducted in December in California by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Gustafsson, who was temporarily suspended in March for failing the test, has admitted to using EPO.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - A woman is accusing San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks of groping her while she was unconscious at the home of former teammate Ray McDonald. In a civil lawsuit filed Tuesday in Santa Clara County, the woman says she believes surveillance footage will corroborate allegations against Brooks. The woman says Brooks groped her before McDonald carried her to his bedroom and sexually assaulted her in December 2014. McDonald has sued the woman for defamation, saying security camera footage would show a consensual sexual encounter occurred in his hot tub. The 49ers cut McDonald after learning of the allegation. The Santa Clara County district attorney is considering whether to file criminal charges.

With support from Liberals, Conservatives Abuse takes many forms The Cranbrook Community Response Network (CCRN) pass controversial anti-terror bill talks about abuse against seniors in this month’s column C ANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - The federal government’s controversial new anti-terrorism bill has won the approval of the House of Commons. The Anti-Terrorism Act, also known as Bill C-51, easily passed third reading by a margin of 183 to 96, thanks to the Conservative government’s majority and the promised support of the third-party Liberals. The legislation gives the Canadian Security Intelligence Service more power to thwart suspected terrorist plots - not just gather information about them.
It also increases the exchange of federal security information, broadens no-fly list powers and creates a new criminal offence of encouraging someone to carry out a terrorist attack. In addition, the bill makes it easier for the RCMP to obtain a peace bond to restrict the movements of suspects and extend the amount of time they can be kept in preventative detention. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney has said the legislation is required to keep Canadians safe from jihadi-inspired attacks like those
that claimed the lives of two soldiers in attacks just days apart last October. Opponents of the bill have denounced the idea of allowing CSIS to go beyond gathering information to actively derailing suspected schemes. A range of interests civil libertarians, environmental groups and the federal privacy commissioner - have expressed grave concerns about the information-sharing provisions, saying they could open the door to abuses. Prior to the vote, the Opposition New Demo-
crats voted noisily - and in vain - in favour of proposed amendments that they say would have added a level of oversight and stronger privacy protections, among other things. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s national security adviser told the Senate national security committee last week that the agency’s new powers are not as scary as their critics contend. The new disruption powers could permit CSIS to thwart travel plans, cancel bank transactions and covertly interfere with radical website.
Winnipeg to make city more bike-friendly C ANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG - An ambitious, $330-million, 20-year plan to make Winnipeg a more bike-friendly city has cleared its first hurdle at city hall.
The Pedestrian and Cycling Action Plan was passed unanimously Tuesday by a city committee. Councillor Jenny Gerbasi says it’s about time Winnipeg caught
up to other cities. The plan is hundreds of pages long and would add various bike lanes and walkways throughout the city over the next two decades. The only person to

A
buse against seniors can take many forms and is often perpetrated by a family member. Physical disabilities or cognitive impairments experienced by some seniors can increase their vulnerability and affect the nature of the abuse they might experience. Canada, like many countries around the world, is facing an aging population. According to the most recent Census conducted in 2011, nearly 15 per cent of Canadians, approximately five million, are aged 65 and older (www.statcan.gc.ca) and this number will continue to grow in the coming years and in the next three decades as baby boomers continue to reach the age of 65. According to population projections, by 2036 the size of our older adult population will increase by about two-fold and persons aged 65 and over will represent approximately one-quarter of the Canada’s pop-

ulation (Statistics Canada 2010). Previous research suggests that men and women aged 65 and over have a significantly lower risk of violent victimization relative to younger adults. Still, the mistreatment and abuse of older adults has been recognized as a social problem since the 1970s and with our aging population, gaining further information about what is often referred to as a ‘hidden crime’ will only continue to increase in importance. We must be concerned, raise our levels of awareness and develop prevention and intervention programs. Cranbrook has its own organization for this, the Cranbrook Community Response Network (CCRN) which has been meeting for over two years and is tasked with sharing and educating the public and professionals about the risks and services available to our older adult population. It has focused on barriers or risks to person’s health and wellness through ongoing education and support and promotion. Our main area of concern is the inability or older and vulnerable adults to access timely, affordable transportation necessary to carry out the normal activities of their lives and secondly, we focus on suicide, prevention, and lastly the Cranbrook CRN tries to educate the public, elderly and caregivers about falls prevention, a potentially deadly occurrence for older people. The United Nations (UN) has designated June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD). World Elder Abuse Awareness Day brings together senior citizens, their caregivers, and governments to combat the problem of elder abuse. The day aims to focus global attention on the problem of physical, emotional, and financial abuse of elders. It also seeks to understand the challenges and opportunities presented by an ageing population, and brings together senior citizens, and their caregivers, national and local government, aca-
demics, and the private sector to exchange ideas about how best to reduce incidents of violence towards elders, increase reporting of such abuse, and to develop elder friendly policies. Remember abuse can take many forms and includes physical, emotional or mental harm, damage to or loss of assets or property or neglect. It can take place in a person’s home, a care facility or in the community. We must all be aware and we must all care. If you know anyone living at risk or who is being neglected or self-neglecting please call someone: a mental health therapist, a hospital social worker, BC Licensing Officer, the RCMP, a Continuing Care Case Manager or the Seniors Information and Help Line (SAIL) 1-866-437-1940. The BCCRN (Cranbrook) is one of many Leadership Table Partners with Safe Communities Cranbrook. About Safe Communities Cranbrook (SCC): Cranbrook was designated a safe community in 2009 because of the hard work and dedication of the Safe Communities Cranbrook Committee. Safe Communities Cranbrook has been a longstanding Cranbrook committee of organizations dedicated to reducing injuries and improving safety for Cranbrook citizens.

Just a few short months ago the Invermere Health Care Auxiliary moved their Thrift Shop to a new location in downtown Invermere. Since then the results of that decision have been a huge rise in sales and a continued dedication to health care from all the IHCA members. Although the IHCA’s major focus is the Invermere & District Hospital or the Columbia House Residential Care Facility the IHCA has always kept their eyes on assisting in funding equipment for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Most recently the IHCA membership voted to support the fundraising efforts of EKFH by donating $50,000 for the EKRH ICU Redevelopment Project. “People living in the Columbia Valley rely not just on our local hospital but the regional hospital as well.

REGINA - A bug expert says wood ticks are creeping into parts of Saskatchewan where they have never been seen before. Phil Curry, an entomologist for the Ministry of Health, says the most common brown American dog tick is expanding its range in the province. He says about 15 to 20 years ago it was only found in southeastern Saskatchewan, but now it's in through central Saskatchewan as far north as Melfort, Prince Albert and even North Battleford areas. Curry notes the reasons for the move range from climate change to moist conditions and milder winters. Last weekend Curry picked up dog ticks on his own farm north of Moose Jaw - the first time he's seen them there. While dog ticks are more noticeable, Curry says the ticks that transmit Lyme disease are still considered to be very rare in Saskatchewan. The black-legged deer tick is only
about half the size of the brown dog tick. It is also found more often in wooded areas instead of tall grass where dog ticks are easy to pick up. “The risk is very low. It's not zero though. We have found a few of these ticks in the province and a few of them have tested positive for Lyme disease. So it's a low risk but not a zero risk,” he said. Since 2010, Saskatchewan has only had two confirmed human cases of Lyme disease that originated within the province. The symptoms of Lyme disease occur in three phases, with the first showing a rash, fatigue, muscle pain and swollen lymph nodes. It's advised to see a doctor if these symptoms appear after a tick bite. Curry says to wear long pants and shirts, even tucking pant legs into socks if walking in areas with long grass or trees. He says wearing light clothing will also help make it easier to spot ticks.

Did you know?... On average, people with hearing loss wait almost 10 years before they do something about it?* That’s missing out 10 years worth of memories. Hearing is making memories. Don’t wait! Take the first step and do this simple hearing quiz. Do any of these situations sound familiar to you? q When watching television, I have to set the volume q I sometimes fail to hear the doorbell or higher than usual. the telephone. q I sometimes feel that people are not speaking clearly (mumbling). q I often have trouble understanding a conversation when there is a background noise or other people are talking at the same time.
q My family members, colleagues and friends have repeatedly asked me whether I have a hearing problem. q I find it hard to hear birds singing, footsteps, running water, and other soft everyday sounds.
If you checked off one or more of these questions, call today to book a COMPLIMENTARY hearing screening! Highly trained professionals will take the time to explain your hearing test results and provide you with a personal demonstration of the latest hearing aid technology available. *www.phonak.com/com/b2c/en/hearing/understanding_hearingloss/facts_and_figures.html

Roger—Bridging the understanding gap While modern hearing aid technology does a great job of helping people to understand more, many people with hearing loss still sometimes find it tricky to follow what is being said—especially when there is background noise and over distance. That’s where Roger products come in.
The theory is simple: the more spoken words you can understand, the better the communication you can enjoy. Roger allows users with hearing difficulties to hear and understand many more words than ever before. This means you no longer need to struggle in big group meetings, on conference calls, or when there is lots of background noise. You can simply listen and get involved.

Arne Sahlen, pictured in concert with local vocalist Clara MacLeod in early 2015. mous Twinkle Twinkle variations), a jazz medley including Charlie Brown and Take Five, and much more — all with his trademark historical tidbits and joking twists on the history of music. “There’s a sort of electric charge between player and audience at the best times. I particularly hope children will get a taste of concerts; we’ll have a play area for
those who get edgy.” Sahlen will play on the fine Yamaha grand piano in “Studio 64”, the newly-renamed multi-purpose venue. “The piano arrived 30 years ago this summer, he said, “as part of a great revitalizing of Centre 64 in response to severe government cutbacks. Homegrown, the grand piano, and other major initiatives burst forth there and then!
Perhaps it was just the nudge we needed to reach for another level of action and activity.” Sahlen is well known for musical mastery and delight in the performing experience, also for taking his act on the road to Southeast Asia, and for helping others in both human-service and musical fields.

An accident waiting to happen …
Say it ain’t so, Janet Van Der Graff …
Follies of ‘15
Mt. Baker’s ‘Drowsy Chaperone’ roars back to the 1920s Barry Coulter
Are you looking to escape the dreary horrors of the real world? May we suggest the “Charleston!” Jump back into those Roaring Twenties with Mt. Baker Wild Theatre’s latest mega-offering at the Key City Theatre, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” a high energy parody of those hit Broadway Follies of the 1920s. A “romp” is a good way to describe it. Where but the 1920s would you rather be, to get your cold feets hawt! We find ourselves in lonely apartment of the “Man in The Chair,” where the occupant broods over happier times and happier art forms. To cheer up his lonely evening and to entice us in, he puts on an album of one of his favourite 1920s musicals — “The Drowsy Chaperone.” And just like that, the stage explodes in song and dance. We’re back in Broadway’s Jazz Age, and Busby Berkeley is in the house! The Man in The Chair (played by the wry Carter Gulseth) serves as our narrator, introducing us to the characters and talking us through the plotlines and the musical numbers. “Plotlines” may be stretching it a bit, as our narrator confesses. The story is a frame for the music, the song, the dance. Basically: The big star Janet (Emily Bohmer) is getting married, but the gangsters want the wedding to fail so the show can go on. The starlet (Jade Duchscherer) wants a shot at the big time, the producer (Ty Ryley) is threatened by recipe-wielding gangsters, the Chaperone (Madison Lee) offers some dubious advice, there is a stupendous chorus provided by “The Help,” there are ever so many romantic misunderstandings, and even an intervention from the (self-described) “King of Love!”(Andrew Schubert). And once again, the eternal question is asked: “Why would anyone put olives in a Gibson’s martini?” The main characters include: The Drowsy Chaperone – Madison Lee; Aldolpho – Andrew Schubert; Feldzieg – Ty Ryley; Gangster 1 - Eve Sperling; Gangster 2 – Jessika Nicolajsen; George – Duncan Van der Roest; Janet Van de Graaf – Emily Bohmer; Kitty – Jade Duchscherer; Man in Chair – Carter Gulseth; Mrs. Tottendale – Tessa Charlton; Robert Martin – Dawson Rutledge; Trix – Emma Schraepel; Underling – Cam Sperling. The play is directed by Bethany Turcon. Choreography is by Siona Jackson. The orchestra is directed by Stephanie Tischauer. The fabulous “Drowsy Chaperone” opens tonight, Thursday, May 7 at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook, and runs through May 10. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m May 7-9, and 3 p.m. Sunday, May 10.

Juno Award-winning folk-rocker Bill Bourne (above) plays a rare performance in the comfy-funky confines of Kimberley’s Green Door Bistro (180 Spokane St., in the Platzl) this coming Friday, May 8. Professionally active since 1975, Bourne has been a festival staple for several decades, and his long and storied career has seen him not only as a compelling solo artist (combining elements of world music and psychedelia into his folk stylings) but also as the sidekick-of-choice for the Tannahill Weavers, bagpiper Alan MacLeod, violinist Shannon Johnson, songwriter Wyckham Porteous, and fellow guitar-eccentric Lester Quitzau (among many others). Certainly a show not to be missed! For ticket information please call 250-432-9115.
Local folk-rock duo Joshua Burning (featuring guitarist-vocalists Keith Larsen and Garnet Waite, above) debut live at Durango’s Lounge (719 Baker St.) in downtown Cranbrook this Friday May 8, 6-9 pm. Joshua Burning has been gathering steam around the East Kootenay for several years with their winning combination of stellar musicianship and emotional vocal interplay, and with Durango’s Lounge now catering to acoustic acts, this promises to be a memorable evening.

KCT hosts Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra For the Townsman
Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra has wandered from the underground of bohemian Victoria, in Canada’s lush west coast, to a new, refined sound crafted by years of constant performing and touring together. Drawing on flamen-
co flourishes learned in Spain, on African percussion, on bluegrass and other roots music from across the Americas, TMO has cycled through far-flung influences and youthful forays into sounds from all over, finding new vistas of creativity that bring
them closer to their own beginnings, to the people and places that have shaped them. Friends and family, ancestors and wild characters are all honored on Follow My Lead, Lead Me to Follow, the band’s third and most mature studio effort, with a sound
Simple Solutions to Help Lower Your Blood Pressure and Cholesterol
The two biggest recommendations are things that we are sure you have heard before, but we cannot stress the importance of them enough and they are eating fruits and vegetables and exercising daily. Fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidants, fiber, minerals and nutrients while exercise is needed to maintain a healthy body weight and keep the heart healthy. It has been shown that those with higher consumption of fruits and vegetables and a moderate exercise level have a significantly lower risk of heart disease. With this said we recommend trying to eat a minimum of 4 servings of fruit and 4 servings of vegetables daily. This may sound like a lot, but serving sizes are not as large as you may think. For example, a serving of fruit would be an apple or half a cup of blueberries and a serving of vegetables would be a half cup of broccoli or half of an avocado. Exercise does not have to be an intense day at the gym (unless this is something you enjoy) it can start out simply as 30 minutes of walking daily ensuring you get your heart rate up. The research has shown that you can even split this up into two 15 minute walks daily. The next treatment to add in is another simple one and that is getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night or what you need for your body to feel rested. This is important for blood pressure regulation as it allows the body time to relax and repair itself. Diet can have a huge impact on heart health and an important vegetable to add in to help lower blood pressure and potentially cholesterol is celery. Celery contains chemical compounds (phthalides) which help stabilize blood vessels, therefore, allowing blood to flow more smoothly. Other dietary interventions that can help lower cholesterol are daily consumption of pomegranate juice which is also a strong antioxidant, unroasted/unsalted almonds which is also a good protein source and healthy fat source, consuming whole rolled oatmeal or oatbran for fiber and including organic soymilk for the isoflavone content. Daily consumption of raw garlic and dark chocolate, 70% or greater (typically patient’s favourite), lowers both blood pressure and cholesterol. Raw olive oil and cinnamon both help to stabilize blood glucose levels and lower cholesterol and are especially good for diabetic patients. Turmeric is also a spice that can be added in to the daily diet as it is very anti-inflammatory and can help with blood vessel stability. Recent research has also shown that adding beet juice can help lower blood pressure and ground sesame seeds can help lower cholesterol. Consumption of fish like organic wild salmon once per week can help provide omega 3 fatty acids which are highly anti-inflammatory and helps raise good cholesterol (HDL) therefore helping to balance and normalize cholesterol levels. Integrating these interventions into your daily diet is simple, as you can have a salad with celery and homemade dressing with garlic and olive oil and you can even add turmeric to the dressing. Soymilk can go on cereal or can be put in oatmeal with cinnamon, almonds and ground sesame seeds. Teas can be made with hibiscus, linden flower, dandelion, gingko, hawthorn and/or globe artichoke that not only help slow our day down by enjoying a cup of tea, but also help with lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. These are just a few of the diet and lifestyle interventions that can help in conjunction with other Naturopathic treatments and/or pharmaceutical medications. These can be tried before prescriptions are used and if you are interested in how much you should be consuming of these exact foods please see us for a Naturopathic appointment. There are also many nutrients, minerals and botanical medicines that can be added to your individualized treatment.

that’s distinct, earthy, and solid. TMO is bringing their new refined sound to the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook, Thursday, May 14. “Our sound comes from spending a lot of time together. It’s a creation of living,” explains Kurt Loewen, the band’s guitarist. “The process with all the songs was so organic. But at the same time, 90 percent of them took a long time to get into the repertoire. It took two full years of touring, of us being together all the time, rehearsing, recording, leaving things off and putting them back on the set list. These songs are a creation of living.” “When people ask, ‘What influences you most?,’ I have to answer, ‘Being part of the band,’” Griffiths adds. “There are other meta-influences in the background, but the biggest influence is the band itself. Our life together, the people we meet inspire new tunes.” TMO has toured major cities, playing club dates and living in vans, like many young bands. But they also find themselves playing smaller towns and venues, places where the entire local population would gather for a show—and then demand they play all night. The spirit of these places and these audiences left their mark, especially the Gulf Islands in BC’s Strait of Georgia, an archipelago harboring beautiful, peaceful

spots and wonderfully eccentric people (as well as being home to Wolda, who hails from Cortes Island). This close rapport—and willingness to take on the third-set challenge, to listen to the spirit of place—shaped TMO. The band evolved, slowly refining their initial burst of quirky, spontaneous jams, where songs in Spanish (the hot “Xo Tango”) might alternate with funny bluegrass numbers (“Sadie”), and wry waltzes might segue into percussive folkpunk. The band’s consensus-based, thoughtful process of arranging, shifting, performing became a crucible for mellowing and combining the group’s scattered musical influences. While the band’s original youthful, play-
ful energy remains palpable on Follow my Lead, Lead me to Follow, the band channels all that heat and light into firm, elegant boundaries. The musicians spent months together, playing, arranging, discussing, before hitting the studio to record the album with David Travers-Smith (Deerhoof, Kiran Ahluwalia, Wailin’ Jennys). The long spell together lent a new tightness to the band’s performance, a focus and sixth-sense responsiveness that resonates on the album (“Lives be Brave”) and on stage. As a result, the group sounds truly orchestral, with rich arrangements that take full advantage of their instruments’ unique colors. An engagement with the past may be bitter-
sweet, but it underlies the band’s tight and joyful ties to a vibrant sense of place, whether it’s a farm on the Canadian prairies or an idyllic rocky island. “Our common thread is the place, the people,” Griffiths smiles. “When we’re out on Cortes Island or in Saskatchewan, it’s the sense of place that are the common threads. There’s a place, there’s the sentiment that connects us.” Key City Theatre and Western Financial are Proud to present “Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra” Thursday May 14 at 7:30 pm at Key City Theatre Tickets are $25 and $20 for Key City Theatre Members Available at the Key City Theatre Box Office 250-4267006 and Online at www.keycitytheatre. com

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week May 3 - 9
Dav e Humphre y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1902 “Billy” Stewart’s bravery ... He Is Reported for Courageous and Intelligent Action. The Herald is in receipt of a letter from Sydney J. Markham, formerly of Cranbrook, but now in South Africa, enclosing a copy of general orders calling attention to the bravery of Trooper William Stewart, well known in this district and a former resident of Sand Creek. The portion of the order relating to this man is as follows: “The inspector general desires to draw attention to a very commendable piece of dispatch riding successfully accomplished by No A, 1884, Trooper W. N. Stewart, No. 13 Troop “A” division. This man left Bothaville on 28th February with important dispatches for Colonel Kekewich at Wolmaranstad, 40 miles distant. In his first attempt he was driven back by Boers, and trying again on the 1st March, was a second time forced to return, but the third time he was successful and managed to get to Wolmaranstad. Here he found the Boers in possession, and was pursued by them. He fortunately got on to the spoor of Colonel Kekewich’s column and followed it up, reached him in due course. He was strange to the country and the plucky and intelligent manner in which he carried out the important duty entrusted to him is worthy of the highest praise, and has been fully reported to the commander-in-chief. Marysville’s future … All that has been said to the contrary notwithstanding Marysville stands, today, with as bright a future before her as any town in the Kootenays. Naturally situated as the gateway to the upper St. Marys country, that home of mineral wealth, that section second to none in the whole province, from a mining point of view, she will without doubt become a great mining center. Situated as she is as the only outlet for the North Star and Sullivan hills and the mining district behind them. She must be a good town. Cranbrook will be stormed ... The Pirates of Pincher Creek intend to storm Cranbrook at an early date. The troop is composed of 40 residents of Pincher Creek, Alta. It will be the greatest musical event in East Kootenay. Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic opera Pirates of Penzance, colored light effects, gorgeous costumes, new scenery. To lovers of opera this will be a treat. We admire the energy and pluck displayed by the members of this troupe in having successfully mastered so difficult an opera, a feat which is not any too easy for amateurs in any part of the world. We are informed on reliable authority that the costumes are very handsome, and that the choruses in particular are rendered in an excellent manner. Watch the advertising columns of next issue for full particulars. Forced to wait … Captain Armstrong was in town last week. He had brought the steamer North Star up the river as far as Wardner and was compelled to wait there for more water, as the river is exceptionally low for this time of year. The captain will take the boat through to Hanson’s place at Wasa, and get ready for shipping lumber down river from the Hanson Mill. 1903 Looks better at Frank … For the present the fright at Frank is over, although the government is still holding the town dangerous and not allowing anyone to live there. Last Saturday an examination of the mountain top was made by Manager McCaithy of the mine, Inspector Smith and Frank Byron. They united in a report saying that the cliff was in a dangerous condition and that it would be safer for the inhabitants to move out. Premier Haultain, who had arrived on the scene from Regina, instantly instructed the mounted police to notify the residents that the town must be cleared by night. Pleasant city … In Cranbrook there are no explosions, no rock slides, no strikes, no bad weather. The center of the banana belt is a great place to live.
Great picture … Since cartoonist Bengough drew constable “Baldy” Morris’ picture with three hairs on the top of his head, the government’s representative has been walking around town as proud as a peacock in spring time. Leitch funeral … Six members of the Leitch family were buried last Sunday. Never, perhaps, in the history of this province, has there been held a funeral service fraught with so much sadness as that of the six members of the Leitch family killed in the rock slide at Frank last week. The funeral was held at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday at 2 p. m. and the large audience room was crowded to the doors, while on the outside there were many unable to enter. Rev. Lee, the Presbyterian missionary, officiated in place of Rev. Fortune, who was at the bedside of his sick wife in Lethbridge. There were four hearses, and when the bodies were placed in position, and the members of the Archie Leitch family, so recently bereft of their daughter Emma, came in bringing with them the three orphans, Misses. Jessie and May, and the baby Marion, the surviving members of the unfortunate Alex Leitch family, there were men shed tears who had not known a moistened eye for years. It was a sad scene, and from the hearts of all present welled up a wave of sympathy for the unfortunate. The services were brief but impressive, and afterward the six bodies were laid to rest in the Leitch lot in the Cranbrook cemetery. Fish story … Mr. A. E. Marshall tells of an exceptionally large dead fish embedded in a block of ice which was washed ashore near Sirdar a short time ago. It measured seven feet in length and was one of the largest fish ever seen in Kootenay Lake. 1904 Fernie fire … At an early hour last Friday morning the business portion of Fernie was entirely wiped out by fire, entailing a loss in the neighborhood of $500,000 with not more than $250,000 insurance. It is not known positively where the fire originated,
Cranbrook Lions club
but it is generally supposed that it was in the store room of C. Richardsrds. Robert Shaw, who was on the night shift at the Fernie Hotel bar, was the first to notice the smell of smoke, and he started with others to locate its origin. As soon as this was done, the alarm was sounded, and within a few minutes the fire apparatus was on the ground and an attempt made to check the progress of the fire, that already was making rapid headway. William Tuttle, who is chief of the brigade, started, to throw water on the flames with the hope of preventing the lire from spreading across the street from the Victoria Hotel to the Coal Company’s offices. One trial was sufficient to demonstrate that all efforts would prove futile, and that the town was at the mercy of the flames, whipped into an uncontrollable fury by the wind that was blowing quite hard at the time. Then followed a wild scene. The entire population of the town had gathered on the street, and those who had property in the track of the rapidly advancing flames tried to save it. Merchandise was burned out, household furniture was piled in conglomerate heaps and bar fixtures and bibles lay side by side. And to the shame of an element in Fernie, the time of misfortune and disaster was taken advantage of by a lot of inhuman brutes, who refused to aid in the work of saving and protecting property, but instead turned their attention to theft and distraction. Untold quantities of merchandise and household furnishings were stolen, and quite a number of the contemptible wretches were caught redhanded in the act and landed in the jail. A sad sequel ... The Herald last week published an account of the death of the 3 year old child of Samuel Coulter, of Nelson, who died from exhaustion caused by a long climb on the mountain side while lost. While the family were at the funeral the baby lad, who had been left at home, found a bottle of antiseptic fluid used by the undertaker and drinking of it died. His corpse was awaiting the grief stricken parents on their return.
On the weekend of April 10, 11 and 12, the Cranbrook Lions Club hosted a District Conference at the Days Inn in Cranbrook. Over 160 guests from the East and West Kootenays as well as from Northern Idaho and North Eastern Washington attended. The Cranbrook Lions wish to thank the City of Cranbrook and the Regional District of East Kootenay, as well as the businesses and individuals listed below, for their support.

BC’s Clean Electricity Future With
MLA,
Bill Bennett
1
In BC, unlike Alberta and Ontario, 95% of our electricity is produced without fossil fuels. The Site C project will provide another 100 years of clean energy to add to one of the world’s most reliable electric systems.
2
20% of our electricity comes from private renewable power projects scattered across the province with wind farms and run of river hydro being the most common technologies. In the future, once Site C is completed, we will need more electricity from these renewable technologies.
3
As Minister of Energy and Mines, my focus is keeping rates as low as possible. British Columbia has one of the most ambitious conservation programs in North America which helps keep costs down by avoiding the need to build new generation facilities. When we do need new generation, we need to buy the most cost effective power available and private sector competition between various renewable technologies will ensure that ratepayers get the best deal.

B.C. NDP energized by Alberta win Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – NDP leader John Horgan remembers working with Alberta premier-elect Rachel Notley when she was a lawyer working for then-attorney general Ujjal Dosanjh, and he was a senior staffer in the NDP government in the 1990s. Horgan said Wednesday he’s “ecstatic” at the upset victory of the Alberta NDP, toppling the
Progressive Conservative dynasty that ruled for 44 years. And he predicts that sea change in the politics of western Canada will benefit federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair this year and his party in 2017. “I’ve known Rachel for some time,” Horgan said. “She is as genuine as she looks. She is as competent as she sounds. I think that’s good news for Canada.” The effect of of Alber-
ta’s first-ever NDP government remains to be seen, with the province in a sharp downturn due to low oil prices. Notley’s promises include raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and increasing corporate taxes at a time when the oil and gas industry is laying people off. Horgan remains noncommittal about the proposed twinning of the TransMountain
Pollsters relieved to get it right in Alberta C anadian Press
OTTAWA - Corporate Alberta may be wringing its hands, but Canada’s market research industry breathed a collective sigh of relief today following the NDP’s remarkable majority victory in the Alberta election. A variety of polls consistently showed strong support for Rachel Notley’s New Democrats in the last weeks of the campaign and yet many were reluctant to believe the public opinion surveys would prove out on election day. A series of errant predictions on provincial votes over the last couple of years bruised the profession and Alberta’s counter-intuitive swing to the left was seen as a test of polling’s predictive powers. Pollster Frank Graves of Ekos Re-
search says the industry needed a collective win and that Albertans themselves continued to believe there would be a Progressive Conservative victory late into the campaign. Bruce Cameron, president of Calgary-based polling firm Return on Insight, was casting doubt on an NDP victory in a published op-ed as recently as Sunday, even though his own survey results strongly suggested otherwise. Pollsters say fluctuating voter turnout is the wild card that confounds election predictions, but the solid NDP trend line of support throughout the campaign made Tuesday night’s victory a certainty when 57 per cent of eligible voters the highest in Alberta since 1993 cast ballots.

Federal Tories contemplate political mortality in wake of NDP victory Stephanie Levitz Canadian Press
OTTAWA - The Conservative caucus room was described as a morgue Wednesday as federal MPs grappled with political mortality after the New Democrats effectively killed the conservative movement’s four-decade grip on Alberta politics. While they sought to downplay the notion that the NDP’s upset in Alberta is an omen for this fall’s federal election, many also acknowledged the playing field for that campaign has changed. So-called safe seats just can’t be considered safe anymore, said Deepak Obhrai, who has sat in the House of Commons as a Calgary Conservative since 1997 and was re-elected in 2011 with 67 per cent of the vote. In the last six elections, he
didn’t face a serious challenge from the NDP, but with all four provincial seats within his riding now held by that party, he expects the federal campaign will be different. “More, stronger candidates will look at the results, so we expect stronger (NDP) candidates with stronger credentials coming after us,” he said. “The NDP have become a player, indeed.” Many MPs pointed out that the provincial election results indicate the conservative base is secure - taken together, the Progressive Conservatives and Wild Rose Alliance secured 52 per cent of the popular vote. “We’ve always worked hard with constituents and what we’re hearing with constituents is that the federal party still has a lot of
support in Alberta,” said Edmonton MP Tim Uppal. It wasn’t just Alberta conservatives pondering their political future and the shifting landscape in Alberta. Ontario’s David Tilson compared it to the 1990 provincial election in his province in which David Peterson and the Liberals were ousted by the NDP under Bob Rae. Tilson attributed that result to anger against then-prime minister Brian Mulroney. Prime Minister Stephen Harper sent his “sincerest congratulations” to premier-designate Rachel Notley, saying he looks forward to working with “future premier Notley on issues of importance for Albertans and all Canadians” such as jobs and economic growth.

Notley has expressed support for that project, while opposing the Northern Gateway proposal to deliver Alberta heavy oil to Kitimat. B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said he doesn’t expect any change in relations between the two provinces. He shrugged off the Alberta vote, saying he mostly watched the Calgary Flames defeat Anaheim in the Stanley Cup playoffs Tuesday night. “It took 44 years to elect an NDP government in Alberta,” Bennett quipped. “We’ve got 30 years left.”

LONDON - The impact of hiphop’s arrival on the pop music scene eclipsed that of the Beatles-led British invasion of 1964, a computer analysis of 17,000 songs has found. The unusual study found three revolutions on the charts: the 1991 emergence of rap and hiphop on mainstream charts; the synth-led new wave movement of 1983, and the advent of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who and other British rockers in the early 1960s. Although the Beatles - paced by the songwriting of John Lennon and Paul McCartney - enjoy
perhaps the highest place in critics’ esteem, the researchers found the hip-hop movement - from pioneers like Afrika Bambaataa to megastars like Jay-Z - more profound. They wrote that the rise of rap and related genres represents “the single most important event that has shaped the musical structure of the American charts in the period we studied.” By contrast, the British bands - heavily influenced by U.S. stars like Chuck Berry and Little Richard - were found to have followed existing trends. The study, released on Wednesday, was conducted by
the University of London and Imperial College The researchers analyzed 30-second snippets of roughly 17,000 songs from the U.S. Billboard pop charts from 1960 to 2010. Computer programs were used to categorize each song based on musical properties, instrumentation used, chord patterns and other elements. Lead author Matthias Mauch said some may disagree with this scientific approach to a very personal subject but asserted the study breaks new ground. “For the first time we can measure musical properties in recordings on a large scale,” he said.

Of superheroes and saints
POINTS from PARLIAMENT
“Forget lab safety, I want superpowers!” (saying on the latest geek T-shirt)
Anastasia Bartlet t
W
anting superpowers is a sentiment with which many people could agree, think of all the problems that could be solved, the people who could be saved, and the fun we could have. Unfortunately, being a superhero comes with a price; loss of a loved one, near death experience, or a sudden conviction of a clear destiny. If this crisis is not balanced with compassion then the potential superhero could just as easily become a supervillian. With great powers come great responsibility ... and great problems which all need to be overcome. It’s not easy being a superhero, being constantly under attack, receiving complaints, misunderstandings and bad press, and that’s just from the people they are trying to save. As Christians, we all have the potential to be superheros. Christian history is full of stories of superheros ... only we call them saints. These are people just like us who overcame a crisis or two in their lives, found love and compassion and decided to do the right thing by following God unwaveringly. Some were monastics who lived separated from the daily crowd, in the desert or on the mountains, trying to attain perfection in Christ, free from distractions. One such saint is St. Mary of Egypt who lived in the fourth century. She was a young woman who was consumed by sexual passions. One day she tried to enter a church but was prevented by an invisible barrier. She was overcome with remorse, prayed for forgiveness, promised to give up the world and then found the way unbarred. After communion, she entered the desert
taking only four loaves of bread which sustained her for the next forty years. In the last year of her life she met a priestmonk, Zozimas, to whom she told her story. Mary had spent her time in repentance, praying for the world and communing with God. Zozimas witnessed her walking on water and levitating above the ground while she prayed. Some saints are called the Just. These are the ones who lived in the world, leading exemplary lives with their families and becoming examples
for all to follow. St Elizabeth the New Martyr was a German princess who married the Tzar’s brother, Grand Duke Sergei of Russia in1884. Despite her family’s disapproval, she chose to join the Russian Orthodox Church in1891, even though it was not required. In 1905, Elizabeth’s husband was assassinated. She visited the assassin in prison and forgave him. She then devoted herself to God and become a nun. She sold all she had and used the proceeds to start a monastery and a hospital help the poor
and orphans. In 1918, she was killed by the Bolsheviks. Elizabeth, with other members of the extended Royal Family, were thrown down a mineshaft to die. Witnesses said they could hear her singing hymns and praises to God until she died of her injuries. Ultimately, the goal of every Christian is to imitate God. Through constant struggle and obedience to God, saints are sanctified both in soul and body, and are glorified in this world as well as the next. Many have performed miracles and all pray and intercede for others. They are the Church triumphant who continue to help and pray for us, their younger brothers and sisters, saints in the making. Jesus rose from the dead not just to give us victory in the next life but in this life, as well. “In the world, you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world,”He tells us in John 16:33. God’s blessings are present when we encounter tribulations in this world; illness, sorrow, poverty and earthly death. The world considers these to be curses because the world wants a carefree life without struggle and suffering. We will suffer as we strive to overcome these tribulations but these are the lessons we need to learn as we strengthen our faith in God and develop love, compassion and forgiveness for others. These are the powers of the Christian superhero and these are the powers available to all of us, if we want them (no lab accident required). Anastasia Bartlett is author of Glimpses of Glory and a member of St. Aidan’s Orthodox Church in Cranbrook, pastored by Father Andrew Applegate.
Canadian gets military burial in the Netherlands 70 years after WWII deaths THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERGEN-OP-ZOOM, Netherlands - A Canadian soldier has found a final resting place 70 years after he was killed during the Second World War. Pte. Albert Laubenstein died during the Allied advance through the Netherlands, towards the end of the conflict, but his body was buried in a battlefield grave that could not be located after the war. His remains were discovered last June and were identified through a combination of
dental records, historical context and artifacts. Laubenstein was buried with military honours on Wednesday at the Canadian War Cemetery, some 70 kilometres from where he fought and died in a battle to drive the Germans back east. Laubenstein, who was born in Saskatoon, was serving in the Lincoln and Welland Regiment at the time of his death. He had joined the Canadian Army in 1940 and had also served with the 102nd Battal-
ion of the Royal Canadian Artillery, the 4th Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment and the Royal Canadian Infantry Corps. Laubenstein’s burial was one of the highlights of a week of remembrances and celebrations to mark Canada’s part in the liberation of the Netherlands. Prime Minister Stephen Harper attended a number of the events and has called those who liberated the Netherlands heroes who understood that some things are worth fighting
for. Some 7,600 Canadians died in the Netherlands while helping to liberate the nation from Nazi oppression. From the autumn of 1944 right through the next spring, the First Canadian Army played a major role in liberating the Netherlands. The last German soldiers in the Netherlands surrendered on May 5, 1945. During the war, some members of the Dutch royal family stayed in Canada and many bonds have lasted to this day.

Keeping Canada’s Economy Strong •
With the help of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, Canada’s economy has seen one of the best economic performances among all G-7 countries in recent years – both during the global recession and throughout the recovery.
•
As we have repeatedly said though, Canada is not immune to the global economic challenges beyond our borders.
•
That’s why Economic Action Plan 2015 continues to focus on supporting job creation and economic growth, while finally returning Canada to a balanced budget.
•
Here are the facts: • Over 1.2 million net new jobs have been created in Canada. • Over 80% full-time and nearly over 80% private sector jobs were created since the end of the recession in July 2009 and over half of these jobs were in high wage industries. • Since coming to office, our Government has had one of the best job creation records in the G7 and we are leading in economic growth.
•
In fact, on a relative basis, we have created almost 20% more jobs than our closest competitor.
•
Canadians have also enjoyed one of the strongest income growth performances in the G-7.
•
Canada’s business investment performance has been the strongest in the G-7, recovering from that lost in the recession.
•
The independent International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank of Canada (BoC), and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are projecting that Canada will have among the strongest economic growth in the G-7 in the years ahead.
•
For the seventh straight year, the World Economic Forum has ranked Canada’s banking system the soundest in the world.
•
Canada leapt from sixth to second place in Bloomberg’s ranking of the most attractive countries for business to grow.
•
Canada has the lowest overall tax rate on new business investment in the G-7.
•
Canada is one of only two G-7 countries to have a rock solid AAA credit rating with a stable outlook from all the major credit rating agencies – Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s.
•
According to the International Labour Organization’s Global Wage Report, Canada has the best pay gains in the G7.
•
The Centre for American Progress says that “Canada has experienced continuing middleincome growth, while for many countries it has halted.”
•
Fraser Institute report concluded that “the adult unemployment rate is at historically low levels” and that Canada has seen “a marked increase in high-wage factory jobs in recent years.”
•
According to the Social Progress Index 2015, Canada ranked the most ‘socially progressive’ among G7 nations.
•
Canada’s net debt-to-GDP ratio remains the lowest in the G-7– by far.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could have quite a reaction to what is happening. Make it a point to stop and have a discussion before proceeding any further. Take charge if need be. You know how to execute a goal. In this case, it might be to create more financial comfort. Tonight: Till the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll relate directly to a loved one or dear friend. You might not be exactly sure of what you need, but after a discussion, you will gain clarity. Detach, make several important goals and reflect. You will know what to do. Take the risk. Tonight: Follow the music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might decide to let others dominate. You love to guide conversations and be listened to, but sit on that need for now. Observe others’ styles of conversing and making suggestions. A friend will understand how you feel and let you know. Tonight: Chat over dinner for two.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) A partner or several people around you might have very different ideas. Make that OK, but be willing to blaze a new path and not worry for a change about everyone else’s reactions. Tonight: Listening to a different point of view doesn’t mean you will embrace it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have energy and creativity, but you might be pushing into an area that you probably would prefer not to have to deal with. Stop and look at what you need or want to take on. Pace yourself, as you will want to schedule some time just for fun. Tonight: A must appearance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Decide to spread your wings and approach a situation differently. You tend to stay with the tried and true because of the comfort. Someone might offer his or her support as you move in a new direction. You could be quite pleased by embracing a new habit. Tonight: Think “weekend.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep moving forward. Honor a
Tundra
change, and be more forthright about what you feel. Sometimes your need to be diplomatic prevents you from claiming your power. Stop and rethink your approach. Support yourself, but remember to be diplomatic. Tonight: Head home early. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are likely to tell it like it is. Whatever direction you choose to head in, you’ll succeed. Honor a change, and listen to feedback from others. Detach from a problematic situation, and you will see what is happening behind the scenes. Tonight: Make calls. Plan the weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to come to terms with a financial matter or perhaps revise your budget. You probably won’t be comfortable with what you are seeing. Give yourself the time and space to handle this basic issue. You will come out beaming. Tonight: All smiles. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Beam in what you want, as the universe flashes a green light in your direction. Do not hesi-
tate; just go off and pursue your heart’s desire. Others might be surprised by what goes down as you race full speed ahead. Tonight: You are on a roll. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Assume little, and you will be much happier. Be willing to observe rather than blindly trust someone’s words. You will gain a clearer insight into what might be possible. Honor a change in yourself. The result could be more dynamic than you realize. Tonight: Be unavailable. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone you meet today might be seemingly cool and collected, but he or she probably is extremely emotional. Can you deal with that type of personality? Zero in on an important project or goal that you can complete by the weekend. Tonight: Be happy.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with “Ted” for the past eight years. We each have adult children from previous marriages. Ted has always put his daughters ahead of me and our relationship. When they were younger, I completely understood, but they are adults now, and he still does it. Ted has to get their permission to spend any time with me. Vacations are completely out of the question. I see him, at best, four times a month, and the girls call and text constantly the entire time we’re together, always about nothing. He has broken our dates and left in the middle of dinner to help them find an earring or a pair of shoes. The oldest recently married, and she and her husband are living in Ted’s basement. Annie, he put these girls through college. They have degrees and good jobs, and yet they refuse to leave the nest. Ted says he doesn’t know how to fix it. We fight about this often, and he always takes their side. I am frustrated. When we first began dating, Ted asked me to wait until the kids were out of high school and said then we’d get married. Then he asked me to wait until they were finished with college. Now it’s when both are married and on their own. I don’t see them ever letting that happen. Ted bought me a ring, which I am not allowed to wear around the girls because it upsets them. He can’t have pictures of us in his house because they wouldn’t like it. I once posted pictures of us on my Facebook page, and Ted totally lost it because he was afraid his daughters would see. I suggested we attend counseling, but he refused. He is stressed and unhappy, and being around him is difficult because he takes it out on me. I know this relationship is toxic and I should move on, but it is hard to do when you love someone. We get along great when they leave us alone, but that rarely happens, and I am constantly depressed about it. What should I do? -- Lost and Alone in Kentucky Dear Lost: Please understand that Ted is never going to put you first. He is not going to marry you unless his daughters give their permission, and they aren’t going to do it. So what are you willing to put up with in order to remain with him? If you are OK playing third fiddle to those girls and will take marriage off the table permanently, you could have a nice, limited, semi-frustrating relationship with Ted. But if that’s not good enough, leave before you waste any more time. Dear Annie: I laughed when I read the letter from “Confused Husband,” who expects more sex for doing chores around the house. I do laundry, wash dishes, vacuum and grocery shop. I don’t do it to get paid back with sex. I love my wife so much, I consider it a privilege to do things for her, even after 25 years together. She gave birth to our two wonderful children. That is all I could ask for. Appreciate her now because tomorrow is promised to no one. -- Love Her Dear Love Her: We hope every man in our reading audience will see your letter and agree with you. You ought to bottle that.

Family was very important to Fred and he would do anything in his power to provide for them. He loved his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and was always so proud of them all. He learned to hunt at an early age and enjoyed every moment he could hunting and guiding. Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other interests included rodeos, curling, hockey and music. Fred made friends where ever he went. He loved to sing and entertain, as Matt says he knew more jokes than all of us together will ever remember. He was always the life of the party.

We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and all the days before that too. We think of you in silence, and we often speak your name.

They say time will heal but we know it never will. We love and miss you. Mom & Dad, Theresa, Michael & Sara, Liam, Hailey & Tori, Baba & Gido.
