The intricate mechanics of the eye

When something goes wrong with people’s vision, their first thought is to head to the emergency room.

Optometrists want to change that way of thinking Barry Coulter

F

rom eye infections to eye injury, eye emergencies can come in many different forms and, without proper treatment, can have damaging and lasting effects on your vision.

A recent nationwide survey reveals that when faced with an eye emergency, Canadians are most likely to visit the Emergency Room or their family doctor. Yet, few people are aware that they can access to prompt, specialized emergency eye care by visiting an optometrist.

The survey was conducted by the Mustel Group on behalf of Doctors of Optometry Canada, collected responses from 2,500 people across Canada. And the optometrists want to make Canadians aware that optometrists do a lot more than determine your glasses prescription.

“If your tooth hurts you go to the dentist, but

if you have a problem with your eye, for some reason people tend to go to the Emergency Room,” said Dr. Mark Langer, an optometrist with Iris in Cranbrook.

“The ER wait times are averaging four hours across the country, so patients are spending a significant amount of time waiting for care that can be more promptly delivered by visiting their optometrist.”

Optometrists are trained to provide preventative vision care and treat acute and chronic eye conditions,” Dr. Langer says that Whether for an eye exam or an eye emergency, your doctor of optometry would provide an essential role in protecting eye health and treating urgent problems as they arise.

“The idea is still out there that optometrists are who you go to for your glasses prescription,” Dr. Langer said.

“That’s important, but it’s only a very small part of our education. We went to school for eight years — four just dedicated to the eyes alone, and a lot of that is dealing with systemic health and ocular health, and all the diseases and conditions and treatments that can go along with that.

“And the wait times are significantly shorter.

If someone has a problem, I’m getting them in the same day, I’m fitting them in between patients, or seeing them early the next day if they can wait a day. And we’ll be able to be able to deliver what I would consider better care. We’ve got all the technology, tools and knowledge at our disposal to focus on eyes and eye conditions.”

The eye is a fascinating organ, Dr. Langer said.

“It’s so intricate — everything from the front

But also, what people don’t realize is that out of the 12 inter-cranial nerves, there’s a huge percentage of them that are dedicated either solely to the eyes or somewhat to the eyes. The visual system goes from the eyes to the back of the brain, at the occipital lobe, where the impulses are then processed as vision.

Anything going on in the brain can affect your vision as well, depending on what part of the visual pathway is affected. There is just so much brain power dedicated to vision.

“It’s fascinating how vision works, but that also sets the stage for a lot of things that can go wrong.”

Some of the conditions optometrists deal with are ones specific to the eye — like severe eye pain, corneal scratches or foreign bodies in the eye, chemical exposures, or blunt injuries to the eyes or eyelids. People can also experience flashes of light, or floaters, or changes to their vision, which could be indicative of things like retinal tears or detach-

ment.

“There are a lot of conditions that are just based on the eye alone,” Dr. Langer said, “but then there are a lot of conditions that present in the eye that are actually from systemic conditions. Optometrists are often the first ones to see signs of diabetes, or any rheumatoid arthritis, or even multiple sclerosis — because it typically affects the optic nerve before anything else. So it’s not just eye conditions per se.

“There’s a long list of systemic conditions that first present in the eyes, and optometrist is going to be very adept and capable at figuring out and diagnosing some of these other conditions, and then getting you on

to the proper specialist after that.”

Of the senses five, few would argue that vision is most important.

“Vision is so critically important to everyday life,” Dr. Langer said.

“You’re processing so much information from the outside world through your eyes. The vast majority of us take it for granted, but there’s so much going on, so much processing involved.”

Optometrists recommend eye exams every year for people up to 19 years old (BC medical plan covers the cost of the eye exam for those years). “After that, in an otherwise healthy individual, we recommend eye exams every two years,” Dr. Langer said.

“There’s just so much stuff that goes on in the eyes that you can not be aware of. If you go regularly, the preventative aspect becomes much more important.

If something goes wrong, and the patient comes in 10 years later, it might be too late for us to intervene, than if we’d caught the condition 10 years earlier.”

For more information, to schedule an appointment, or in case of emergency, contact your local optometrist.

“I would say all of us here are doing an excellent job, and we’re always happy to see people on an urgent care basis,” Dr. Langer said.

Residential school legacy: Education is key to moving forward Continued from page 1 “There’s been so much written about, so much studied, and yet there still seems to be so little that is known by Canadians, about the true history of Canada,” Pierre said in an interview with the Townsman. “Especially in regards to the history of aboriginal people.”

“One continues to hope that eventually something is going to make an impact, and it’s going to stick. I certainly hope it’s going to be this report.”

Pierre is a former Chief of the ?aq’am (St. Mary’s) Band near Cranbrook, and recent Chief Commissioner of the British Columbia Treaty Commission.

She also attended the St. Eugene Residential School, before attending Mt. Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook. The St. Eugene Residential School (now the luxury hotel at St. Eugene Mission Resort) was the only such school in the Diocese of Nelson, and one of 18 in British Columbia. It operated as a residential school from 1912 to 1970.

“The thing is that children today still aren’t learning about it,” Pierre said. “What’s so frustrating — and this is what the chief commis-

sioner mentioned — is that lack of education we have in this country.

The continued disregard. There’s been so much already that’s been published, and yet we continue to have

Sophie Pierre school systems that have the whole notion that this was an empty place when Columbus wandered in.”

It is estimated that of the 150,000 students who attended the institutions, more than 6,000 children died during their time there.

The last school, located outside of Regina, closed in 1996.

Pierre said that hearing the report summary Tuesday was a very moving experience.

“I certainly hope the government will take this and do something with it, as opposed to what many people are

afraid of, that it will be just like all the other reports. We’ve had study after study, going back to the 40s even, where recommendations were made, that we needed to have a better representation of what Canada’s history is. And yet, even today in 2015, it’s still not totally ingrained in our community.”

The Ktunaxa Nation have established a prominent and positive presence in the region, with good working relations with neighbouring municipal governments, school districts and other institutions.

This relationship is still fairly unique, Pierre said.

“The relationship that we have as a nation with the people who have chosen to make their home within our traditional territory (is positive). We have a good relationship with the school system, with the college. We have positive relations with the health authority.”

But all of that has been because the Ktunaxa has been forward-looking, with forward-looking leadership, Pierre added.

“I wish it was like that for all aboriginal communities, but quite

A rear view of the St. Eugene Residential School and chapel nearing completion – Cranbrook Herald Dec. 1912 frankly it’s not. The teachings that go on in our schools (on Ktunaxa territory) are a result of the recognition of what we as a nation have to offer, and the schools opening their doors for us. That doesn’t happen all over the province. It certainly doesn’t happen in much of the rest of Canada. That’s just really sad.

“We have quite a prominent place in our traditional territory here, and that’s the way it should be, because our history is the history of this place,” Pierre said. “So it becomes a history of everyone who

lives here, and every child who’s going to school deserves to know what the history is of the place they call home.”

Several years ago, the Ktunaxa First Nation and the Diocese of Nelson conducted a series of reconciliation workshops over their mutual residential school history, opening up a new chapter in relations between the two groups.

“Until there’s a real recognition and acceptance of what the history is, I don’t know if it’s really possible for people of my generation to really have closure,”

Pierre said. “If we were all able, as a society, to move forward, and by that I mean recognizing the history, by having aboriginal people feel that they are really a part of Canada — then I think that future generations aren’t going to continue with that legacy. Because we haven’t had that, that’s why we continue to have that negative legacy going forward.”

“As the Ktunaxa Nation, we’ve taken that to heart as much as we can, for being responsible for our own future.

For making that difficult choice that we made many years ago,

to take the former residential school and turn it into something positive.

“We recognized that this is really bad, it’s our history, it’s the history of the whole region, the history of Canada. But we’re making a choice that we’re going to change that, that that’s not the only memory that future generations will have.”

Sunrise Rotary urgently seeking host families for exchange students Barry Coulter

The Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary club is urgently seeking host families for two high school students, one who will be arriving in Cranbrook this summer, the other in the winter.

One student is a girl from Strassbourg in the North East of France.

She will be arriving in town in August. The host family will be exposed to the French language and culture while the student becomes immersed in English.

“This is probably a great way to experience the Rotary Youth Exchange program,” said Shelley Balfour, who is organizing the exchange.

Another student is coming from New Zealand, and will be arriving in January.

At present there are not enough exchange families to cover the year the students will be here.

Ideally, the students will spend a few months with three different host families — four months with each.

The students are also linked up with a councillor, who acts as a third party where they can get advice and help when needed. Host parents can also take advantage of this service if needed.

The students are expected to adapt themselves completely to the customs of the host par-

ents and Canada, and this is made abundantly clear to them before they arrive in Canada and once they are here.

The students should have their own bedroom equipped with a desk or table to do their homework in a quiet surrounding.

There is no financial compensation at the moment, as the host parents often have their own child in another country as an exchange student. However financial assistance is possible in some cases.

Anyone who is interested, or looking for more information, contact Anne and Antoine Beurskens at beurskensaa@shaw.ca.

Bay to help with maternity care in Nepal Continued from page 1 Global Orphan Prevention had earlier built a maternity ward in the village of Rautesbi, about 100 kilometres from Kathmandu. After the quake hit, her friend went over to check things out, and found the maternity ward had been levelled.

Bay said that while people in the countrysides are used to “a more rustic approach” when it comes to pregnancy, labour and delivery — a lot of home births, for example, the destruction caused by the quake makes their situation more dire.

“A lot of villages in the region haven’t been serviced since the first quake,” Bay said. “They’re still in survival mode.”

Global Orphan Prevention’s immediate goal is to build a temporary maternity ward to provide a safe birthing environment for the monsoon season, which bodes to be especially severe in the aftermath of the quakes. The ward to then be upgraded to a permanent facility.

Bay’s birthing kits will also be of great help.

They are simple and easy to put together, and each contains soap, gloves to prevent blood-borne diseases, pieces of string (two for the umbilical chord and a spare), a razor to cut the umbilical chord, and gauze, all contained in a ziplock bag.

Bay is currently working as a nurse in cardiac surgery in Edmonton, but her medical special interest is in labour, birth and delivery. She also has an especial vocation for international relief and humanitarian work in the Third World. She says one of the reasons she went into nursing was to allow her to follow this passion.

As for the fundraising, 100 per cent of all monies raised will go to the Nepalese initiative — the birthing kits, supplies and the maternity ward construction.

South Star Trails are getting in shape for summer season Rocke Robertson

With this year’s short ski season behind us, we are continuing to see many people walking, biking running and horseback riding in the South Star trail system. We have several projects planned for trail improvement which may be of interest.

The mountain pine beetle left a number of dead trees close to trails in certain areas.

These trees sporadically blocked trails as they fell, and potentially posed a danger to trail users. We are fortunate to have a licensed faller in our group who volunteered to bring these trees down before they fell naturally. Working with two other volunteers, over 100 trees were felled in three places.

We are planning to organize a work day in June to cut the wood into 16-18 inch lengths and bring it to a spot that can be easily accessed by pickup truck and offer the wood in return for a donation to

work this summer and fall. The projects are funded through the Kootenay Livestock Association and the Columbia Basin Trust by a grant which is intended to improve grassland/ rangeland. Trail users will know that cattle share our space in the summer months, and in their search for water they have damaged bridge crossings on Easy Street, Bobsled and the now closed

connecting trail between the power line and Jackrabbit. These areas will be repaired and both natural and man made materials (fencing) installed to prevent a repeat performance by thirsty bovines. Many sources of water not close to trails exist to satisfy the need for water.

The Board of Directors of the South Star Recreation Society continues to meet four times a year to plan needed maintenance of the area. All planning is done in conjunction with Recreation Sites and Trails BC, the agency which represents the provincial government.

Our 10 year agreement with the government to manage the trails gives us access to materials and expertise to improve the area for public use. In addition, many volunteers donate time to do trail work and to deal with the administrative requirements necessary to run the operation in an efficient and legal manner. If you wish to become involved, or simply to support the trail system with a donation, membership forms are available at the trailhead. Outdoor exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Three impaired drivers nabbed over weekend Cpl. Chris Newel

Over the weekend Kimberley RCMP and Southeast District Traffic Services removed three drivers from our highway.

On Friday May 29, just after 7 p.m., a Traffic Services officer observed a vehicle near Wasa travelling well above the posted speed limit. The officer executed a traffic stop and while dealing with the driver noted signs of impairment by a drug.

Tests were performed and the officer formed the grounds to prohibit the driver for 24 hours.

In addition to the suspension the vehicle was impounded and the driver given a violation ticket for Speeding and Drive without Reason-

able Consideration. A small amount of marijuana was also seized.

Around 10 p.m. the same night Kimberley RCMP received a report of a possible impaired driver on highway 93/95 north of Wasa. A Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement officer was working in the area, he saw the vehicle and was able to stop it and wait for police.

There was insufficient evidence for impaired driving but police learned the subject was prohibited from driving.

The vehicle was impounded and the driver will attend court in July on charges of Drive while Prohibited.

On Saturday May 30, Kimberley RCMP and Traffic Services con-

ducted several road checks along highway 95A. Around 9:30 a vehicle approached the check being held near Ta Ta Creek. While dealing with the driver the officer noted several signs of alcohol consumption.

A breath demand was read and initially the driver refused to provide a sample.

Under the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program the driver would receive a 90-day driving suspension along with a 30-day vehicle impound. The officer explained this to the driver and in the end he supplied a breath sample which was a Warn.

The driver received a three day suspension and vehicle impoundment.

asking what their plans are for bringing people back to the Platzl and promoting Kimberley,” recounts Forbes. “They told me that it is not in their mandate to promote Kimberley, or bring people in, but rather for making it ‘a good place to be’, and that if the businesses want to bring people in, it’s their responsibility to make it happen.”

Forbes has definitely taken this to heart.

Forbes connected with The Sons of Fenrir (sonsoffenrir.com), an authentic Viking reenactment group out of Calgary, who will be at the heart of the festival.

When she met them at the Calgary Highland Games last year, she knew that people would love to see them in Kimberley. An authentic Viking Village will be set up here in Kimberley during the festival, giving visitors a chance to explore the day to day life of Vikings, try on Vi-

The project will continue in the fall. Two projects in the Kimberley Nature Park are under way at Myrtle Mountain and Duck Pond. Both projects are signed as active falling and people are asked to stay away from the area while work is being completed. For more information, contact Fire Chief Al Collinson at 250-427-4114.

Properly secure your garbage, and keep it indoors until pick-up, or until you can take it to the transfer station. Everyone likes the smell of a barbeque, bears included! Please remember to properly clean your BBQ after using it.

Building Permits & Inspections - Planning a renovation or addition to your home? Dreaming of a new deck or garage? Remember to first obtain a Building Permit before starting your project. The permit and inspection process helps to ensure compliance with health, safety and zoning requirements. Building Permit application forms may be obtained at City Hall or the website. The Building Inspector can help you navigate the application process and discuss the relevant building code and other municipal requirements.

Although they have the Viking aspect, Forbes emphasizes that they are not fo-

“Our main goal is to create an amazing festival that brings people together, gives them a chance to learn about the past, and give everyone an excuse to dress up!” Forbes says.

Memories of La Mer (not Debussy’s) “I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky.”

Wordsworth

I

seem to remember my father attempting to drown me when I was about nine years old. My sister frequently reminded me gleefully but mother assured me that he had merely been trying to rescue me from a nasty wave that all but engulfed me, but I do know how fathers sometimes feel about their nineyear-old kids.

However, I did get over that traumatic experience and later enjoyed trying hard not to drown in oceans, which came in handy when we moved to a sea-side resort.

It wasn’t a seaside of swaying palms and tropical sun shine; it was the coast of Wales which, if it wasn’t for the bulk of Ireland in the way, would have been swept away by those south-westerly gales.

We lived by that windy shore almost entirely because of Adolf Hitler’s conquest mania and the British government’s decision to hire my father to frustrate the Nazi ambition to starve Britain into submission.

But, despite the inclement weather, I enjoyed the sea-side in my youthful loutish manner, never once catching a herring gull off balance despite the zillion rocks that I

hurled at them.

A couple of waves came close to catching me off balance, once when we were contemplating a sea cliff. There we were being extremely brave and working out our possible climbing route when someone yelled, “Look out!” There was a huge rogue wave coming for us; we went up that cliff with alacrity, but not much style.

Another time whilst long-shore drift was being explained to us a wave came at us from out of nowhere, probably Greenland. We got very wet and bedraggled. It Peter would have been hard to about the bedraggled Warland tell bit; young teenaged boys are always bedraggled until they notice that girls exist.

Friend David once dived head-first into a poisonous jelly fish. His face came out in a rash that put his acne to shame, and my rash dive off the sea front left my youthful face severely battered.

I had friends whose family owned a row-boat in those halcyon days and we would take to sea to go fishing. Often, late at night, I would find myself humming the hymn, “For those in peril on the sea”.

During the bombing of London in the 1940s, my parents had decided to sign my sister and me on to a scheme by which we would be shipped to Canada for safety’s sake but when a ship load of youngsters

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

was sunk, my parents had second thoughts. They thought Wales would be safer.

When my wife and I came to Canada, the sea decided to put on a performance for us. I think it was Hurricane Diane – the fourth of the season – that hit our ship a nasty broad-side or two. We went out on to the upper deck before we went to bed the first night of our voyage and the waves were up there with us looking menacing. I thought briefly about Thor Heyerdahl and Tim Severin, and other nut-cases that made the same kind of voyages on rafts and in skin boats. I shook my head and we went down to the dance salon where we were later thrown into untidy heaps.

That turned out to be a fun trip for the few of us that didn’t get sick and the sea didn’t look threatening at all. We slipped into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and came ashore at Quebec where we were met by my sister and her husband. They too had made the crossing safely.

But despite my misgivings about the cruel sea, we chartered sail-boats on many summers and had all sorts of adventures that the charterers would not want to hear about.

We were only sunk once with all hands, but that was in a rubber dinghy, and that nail should not have been there in the government dock at Ganges, Saltspring Island.

The sea, despite Debussy’s lovely music, can be a very dangerous place.

Greece: The Never-Ending Crisis

“T

Gwynne Dyer

he Greek government would be well-advised to act quickly – for the Greek banks, it is five minutes to midnight,” said Andreas Dombret, an executive board member of the German central bank, last weekend. And everybody whose memory extends back a few years goes: “That again? Somebody has been saying that every three months or so since 2010. Why should we believe it this time?”

The answer is that you probably shouldn’t. The ability of the European Union to dodge the issue and kick the can down the road another few months is unparallelled. But it’s the wrong question. The right one is: why is this crisis still going on five years after it began?

Normally, when a country spends itself into near-bankruptcy like Greece did, the whole cycle of crisis, default (or a tough International Monetary Fund bail-out), and recovery takes much less time than that. Whereas there’s still no end in sight for Greece, although its economy has shrunk by a quarter since 2010. But then, Greece is not a normal country. It’s a member of the European Union.

When an independent country runs out of money to pay its debts and cannot borrow any more, it has normally has two options. One is to make a deal with the IMF: in return for IMF loans to tide it over, the government promises to restructure the economy (stop subsidising favoured groups and businesses), balance the budget (collect more taxes and cut spending) and, above all, devalue the currency.

Greece has done all of that – except that it cannot devalue its currency, because it does not control it. It is locked into mem-

bership of the pan-European currency, the euro, which means that its costs stay high and foreign investment doesn’t flow in as it would after a devaluation.

There is another route out of the trap: default. If the government cannot possibly pay back all its debts, just repudiate them.

You’ll be locked out of the international markets for some years, but you can only borrow at an exorbitant interest rate already, so what have you lost?

So long as the government can still raise enough in taxes to cover its own domestic spending commitments, it’s still in business. And after some years, you offer to pay all the creditors you stiffed ten cents on the dollar, they take the deal because something is better than nothing, and you can start borrowing internationally again.

A default is not necessarily a disaster.

Greece has defaulted seven times before in its history, and almost every default was accompanied by a devaluation that put the economy on the road to recovery. But it has not defaulted this time, because that would almost certainly mean giving up the euro, which Greeks see as proof that they are a serious member of the mainstream European community.

Greece should never have been allowed to join the euro in the first place, but the Greek government concealed the scale of its debts and the European Union turned a blind eye to them. Then subsequent Greek governments, equally corrupt and irresponsible, exploited their euro membership to borrow a great deal more.

European banks, especially German and French ones, recklessly ignored the risk in lending to a country that was so obviously living beyond its means, because

they reckoned that the central banks would bail Greece out rather than let a member of the eurozone default. There’s plenty of blame to go around, and the debt-fuelled binge went on for years, until the crash of 2008 brought the party to an end.

Greece’s debt now amounts to 175 percent of Gross Domestic Product. No other developed country has ever reached that level of debt in peacetime without eventually defaulting. But the EU goes on feeding Greece just enough money to prevent a default – and 90 percent of that money goes straight back to German, French and other European banks in debt repayments.

There is no way that Greece can ever repay its debts. Either its creditors cancel at least half its debt, or it must eventually default. Anything else is simply stretching Greece’s agony out. Indeed the Greek economy is already so badly damaged that there is some question as to whether the government could now raise enough income from domestic sources to maintain essential services after a default.

The Greeks have suffered a great deal of hardship already to stay in the euro, and they seem prepared to suffer some more.

The European Union is prepared to cut them enough slack to keep them from defaulting, because its members fear the future of the euro itself if it becomes clear that countries can actually leave. However, the EU will not make enough concessions to put Greece on the road to recovery.

So this unbearable status quo will continue for a while – and eventually the Greeks will say “enough”. But it will still be five minutes to midnight for some months, and quite possibly even into next year.

Robison: Ice future in Cranbrook at critical stage Team could face relocation if improved community & corporate support isn’t seen by end of 2015-16 season

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The future of the Western Hockey League in Cranbrook is on thin ice.

According to WHL commissioner Ron Robison, should attendance woes, financial struggles and corporate support of the Kootenay Ice not improve over the course of the 2015-16 season, the league may be forced to relocate the franchise.

“Our position is that we want to maintain our current markets where our clubs have operated, especially in the case of the Kootenay Ice who have operated in Cranbrook for many years,” Robison said over the phone from the WHL head office in Calgary on Wednesday afternoon.

“Our hope is we can find a way to improve the fan support to keep the franchise in Cranbrook.

“But if that doesn’t change, we’ve got to look and explore options. We continue to be very concerned about the low attendance and the challenges that the club faces.

“It’s reached a very critical stage. I think it’s something we’re going to have to determine this year. If things aren’t improving, I don’t believe ownership or the league will be in a position to continue to support the franchise remaining in Cranbrook.

It’s a very critical season coming up. We need to see more support in order to get us to a position where we have confidence in the market moving forward, but at this stage, we’re very concerned about the future of the franchise. “[Cranbrook] has to be a viable market moving forward. We’re concerned right now, under any circumstances. It’s going to be a challenge, regardless of the ownership group.”

Upon relocating to Cranbrook from Edmonton ahead of the 1998-99 WHL season, the Kootenay Ice played its first two campaigns out of the 1,704-seat Memorial Arena before moving into its present-day home -- the

According to the Internet Hockey Database (hockeyDB.com), the inaugural season at Western Financial Place (2000-01) was a success

“It’s reached a very critical stage. I think it’s something we’re going to have to determine this year.

If things aren’t improving, I don’t believe ownership or the league will be in a position to continue to support the franchise remaining in Cranbrook.”

Ron Robison WHL Commissioner at the gates as a nightly average of 3,635 fans piled into the brandnew building to support the defending WHL champions.

Unfortunately for the franchise, attendance hasn’t been the same since then, declining by approximately 38.4 per cent as of the 2014-15 season.

Numbers at the Western Financial Place gates hit a franchise-low mark of 2,227 during the 2013-14 campaign be-

fore improving slightly to 2,239 during 2014-15.

Only the Swift Current Broncos registered lower average attendance (2,162 fans per game) than the Ice during the 2014-15 season.

Despite a quality onice product that includes three WHL championships (2000, 2002, 2011), a Memorial Cup championship (2002), 17 consecutive playoff appearances, 16 straight seasons with a regular-season record of .500 or better, the attendance woes have not shown significant signs of improvement.

Robison said the slight bump in average attendance from 201314 to 2014-15 isn’t enough.

“We recognize Cranbrook is a small market in relation to other markets,” Robison said. “I think back to when the franchise moved into Cranbrook and the goal and certainly the requirement at that time was to draw a minimum of 2,800 fans. What we see now, is it’s going to have to be something in excess of 3,000 a game.

It is a sight seen far too often in recent seasons -- empty seats at Western Financial Place as the Kootenay Ice battle Western Hockey League opponents. Despite long-running on-ice success, the Ice face an uncertain future in Cranbrook due to attendance troubles and financial struggles.

When you look at the attendance this year, that’s certainly a long way from where we need to be.

“We’re a ticket-driven industry. That’s what determines, ultimately, the viability of a franchise in a certain market.”

With that in mind, Robison said the fate of the franchise lies in the hands of people within Cranbrook and its surrounding communities.

Without improved fan support and corporate support, the league doesn’t see Cranbrook as a viable market for WHL hockey.

“We have to determine whether the ownership is prepared to continue under these circumstances and that’s a challenge unto itself,” Robison said. “All of our franchises are committed to their current markets provided they can run a viable franchise.

That’s been a real challenge for several years.

Anytime you have losses sustained by a club over an extended period of time, you have to consider your options.”

Robison said the league works to support its small-market franchises in many ways including monitoring financial performance, assisting with leaguewide marketing pro-

grams and sponsorship arrangements, communications and broadcast support, as well as a special-events revenue-sharing program.

But those support systems alone aren’t enough to keep a franchise afloat.

Kootenay Ice announce Nella Rounsville Scholarship recipient For The Townsman

The Cranbrook Golf Club and Cranbrook Junior Golfers wished to extend a thanks to the Cranbrook Colonels Hockey Club for their generous donation of $500 towards the junior golf program at Cranbrook Golf Club. From left to right: Darren Fawcett (associate golf professional), Calem Geddes, Russel Grombach, Robbie Beaulac, Kaelen Whittingham, Jack Strom, Jonace Johnson, Brantley Johnson, Aaron Grist, Paul Whittingham (head golf professional).

Ice future in Cranbrook remains uncertain Continued from page 8 “At the end of the day, it just comes down to the local support, from a ticket-sales and sponsorship standpoint, that will ultimately determine the fate of the franchise,” Robison said.

“Our hope would be we can get things turned around. But that will depend largely on the level of support that’s going to be forthcoming. If that doesn’t happen, we may not have any other alternative but to consider relocation.”

Should the fate of the franchise be relocation, Robison said there is no shortage of demand for franchises across western Canada, listing the Lower Mainland, Nanaimo, Winnipeg and “other markets in northern Alberta” as a selection of potential relocation options, should push come to shove.

At the end of the day, the WHL commissioner hopes it doesn’t come to that.

“It’s largely up to the community to step forward and support the team,” Robison said. “The team is prepared

to do whatever it takes to preserve the franchise there, but it’s ultimately going to come down to ticket revenue and level of sponsorship to maintain [the franchise in Cranbrook].”

As it stands, the Chynoweth family owns a controlling interest in the Kootenay Ice. The early bird deadline to purchase Kootenay Ice season tickets came to pass May 29.

Adult season tickets can be purchased for $585, a cost of $16.25 per games (36 games). Walk-up cost for an adult ticket is $23.

Senior (65 plus) season tickets can be purchased for $485, a cost of $13.47 per game, versus walk-up price of $18.

Finally, a season ticket for a child (ages four to 17) can be purchased for $385, or $10.69 per game, versus walkup cost of $11.

Representatives from the Kootenay Ice were unavailable for comment as of press time Wednesday evening.

Blackhawks take Game 1 of Stanley Cup final Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

TAMPA, Fla. - If these playoffs have proven anything about the Chicago Blackhawks, it’s that they don’t go down easily.

A rough start in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final was merely a stumbling block for the Blackhawks as they came back to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 Wednesday night at Amalie Arena to take the series lead.

Teuvo Teravainen and Antoine Vermette scored two goals in under two minutes in the third period to stun a sellout crowd. It was a

matter of time before Chicago broke through after dominating and testing Ben Bishop for the latter stages of the game.

“I thought our team got better and better as the game went on,” said Blackhawks forward Patrick Sharp.

It was the 14th third-period comeback in these playoffs, according to the NHL. Bishop finished with 19 saves and Chicago’s Corey Crawford had 22.

Alex Killorn scored Tampa Bay’s lone goal early on a highlight-reel deflection.

Game 2 is Saturday night at Tampa Bay.

“We’re very happy to be adding a player in Zack, who we feel is ready for a breakout season,” said Jeff Dubois, Thunder Cats head coach and general manager, via a team press release. “Zack has prov-

en over the past two seasons that he can play a strong two-way game, but with his skating and skill level we think that he’s ready to play a key role on the offensive side of the puck.

“We’re also excited to add a player from a winning program who is hungry to be a part of another successful team.”

Sanderson, a 5-foot8 native of Merritt, B.C., tallied eight goals and 24 points in 32 regular-season games as the Storm claimed the 2015 VIJHL championship, Cyclone Taylor Cup and

Keystone Cup. Though the bulk of Sanderson’s Junior ‘B’ career has been spent with the Storm, he suited up for eight games with the KIJHL’s Prince-

ton Posse during the 2012-13 season, registering two assists.

“I’m very excited to play in Creston,” Sanderson said in a team release. “I’m excited to see

a different part of the province and I’ve heard great things about the team and coaching staff, which made it an easy decision. My goal this season is to help the Thunder Cats win a KIJHL championship.”

Sanderson becomes the second player acquired by Dubois to have suited up for the Campbell River Storm during the 2014-15 season.

On May 27, the Thunder Cats announced the acquisition of forward James Severs (1996) from the Westshore Wolves of the VIJHL. Severs split last

season between the Wolves and Storm.

During Dubois’ first season at the helm in Creston, the Thunder Cats finished 28-18-1-5, good enough for 62 points and a third-place finish in the competitive Eddie Mountain Division.

The Thunder Cats went on to drop a fivegame, first-round playoff decision to the eventual league champion Kimberley Dynamiters.

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats are slated to open training camp Aug. 21 at the Johnny Bucyk Arena in Creston.

Food Sensitivities and Allergies By: Dr. Darcie Pawlick BSc, ND This week we would like to address some common questions that are asked by patients regarding food sensitivities and allergies.

1. Why is it that some foods cause an allergic reaction and others don’t?

Everyone’s immune system is unique and always changing as we contact antigens in the environment. Antigens can be anything from microbes to dust to the proteins found in dairy that cause a response from the immune system. When an antigen comes into contact with the immune system different immune responses can occur depending on the type of antigen.

Hypersensitivity reactions are what commonly occur to foods which there are four types. The peanut allergy is caused by a type I reaction mediated by IgE. Peanuts in general are highly allergenic because of their chemical composition, some people’s immune systems will react and others won’t because of the variance in our immune systems. So using the peanut example, what commonly happens is the person is exposed to peanuts 1 or 2 times before the reaction becomes anaphylactic. The peanut is ingested for the first few times and the body becomes sensitized to the antigen (peanut) and starts to produce an antibody known as IgE against it. IgE binds to receptors on mast cells which cause them to degranulate releasing histamine causing a variety of reactions. Lots of IgE is formed against the peanuts after 1-2 times of exposure and the next time you consume it will cause a large anaphylactic reaction since it will bind to many mast cells.

With other foods like dairy the body reacts to the protein called casein causing IgG to form which is a type 3 immune reaction. IgG is a delayed response so symptoms are more subtle like gas, bloating, skin reactions, mucus formation, etc. (This is not the same as lactose intolerance which is lack of the enzyme lactase causing the inability to break down dairy.)

Some foods are just more commonly recognized by the body as foreign and really it just depends on the person and their immune system.

2. How is it that we can become allergic to something all of a sudden and, contrarily, how can you just get over an allergy?

So again, the immune system (adaptive immunity) is always changing.

You are building up your immunity all the time which is usually why you don’t get the flu twice in one season unless it is a different strain or why you don’t get chicken pox twice since your body has already mounted an immune response to that virus so next time it sees it the body knows exactly how to fight it off so you won’t get sick. We can change our immune system by adding different treatments to help modulate the immune response like probiotics, L-glutamine, herbs like astragulus, reishi, ginseng, echinacea and more. In the same way everything we come into contact with will change our adaptive immunity. With IgG food sensitivities if we avoid the antigen like dairy for a few months the immune system recovers and adapts and when slowly reintroduced it’s possible that there will be no reaction.

With IgE reactions it takes a much longer time to change and typically this is why people are allergic to a substance all their lives.

For more information on food sensitivities and testing please feel free to contact us.

Eagles Boxing wrap season For The Townsman

at the Inland Northwest Boxing Championships.

In the 80-pound novice bout, Kolbeck faced heavy swinging from Spokane’s Jeremiah Harry.

Kolbeck weather the early storm, fighting back to keep the round close.

In the second round, Kolbeck took control, staggering his opponent with a sharp left hook.

The third and deciding round saw the two tough customers go toe-to-toe right up until the final bell.

Despite a great showing from Kolbeck, the close decision was awarded to Harry.

The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club resumes training in September 2015 as they prepare for the third-annual Charity Challenge Boxing Event, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 24.

Anyone interested in climbing into the ring is encouraged to contact Tom White (250-417-9019) or Bill Watson (250-919-7181).

The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club finish off its season with strong showings at tournaments in Calgary and Spokane.

At the Battle of Alberta in Calgary, 13-year-old Dakota Smith punched her way to victory in the 120-pound novice division.

Smith opened the bout with a bang, throwing plenty of leather at opponent Ivy Warwick of the Westchester Boxing Club (Edmonton).

When Smith wasn’t landing punches, she slipped and counter-punched beautifully, claiming a unanimous decision.

In the 11-year-old, 85-pound class, Cranbrook’s Ty Kolbeck took on Edmonton’s Christopher Wilson.

Wilson used footwork and a steady jab to take the decision.

A week after defeat in Calgary, Kolbeck returned to the ring in Spokane

University of Ottawa relaunches men’s hockey C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA - The University of Ottawa is relaunching its varsity men’s hockey program after it was suspended last year in connection with a sexual assault investigation.

Two students who were on the team were charged last summer with sexually assaulting a female

student at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., last February.

Almost a month after the alleged incident, the entire hockey team was suspended.

The university now says the team will be ready to compete in the 2016-17 season.

It says that ever since the men’s hockey program was suspended

The Cranbrook Boxing Club wrapped up its season with tournaments in Calgary and Spokane. From left to right: Rayne Watson (coach), Dakota Scott, Ty Kolbeck and Bill Watson (coach). last year, measures have been put in place aimed at creating “the appropriate environment” for a re-launch.

The university says those measures include the implementation of behavioural guidelines, the establishment of an ethics and discipline committee and mandatory participation of all varsity student athletes in orientation sessions that

cover hazing and harassment among other issues.

The measures stem from recommendations made after an extensive analysis of procedures, practices and team culture following the suspension of the hockey program.

“We are confident these measures will foster a positive environment for our student-athletes and

coaching staff,” Marc Schryburt, director of Sports Services with the university, said in a statement.

“We will ensure that all of Sports Services’ programs at uOttawa continue to receive our guidance and support.”

The university says the relaunch of its program begins Thursday with the search for a new head coach.

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.

WHY DID THE GEESE CROSS THE ROAD? TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE! Chris Newel photographed this scene of major traffic congestion near Elizabeth Lake in Cranbrook. ‘Tis the season!

Overnight stays to create ‘private hospitals,’ NDP says Jeff Nagel Black Press

The province may let contracted private clinics keep patients overnight for as long as three days so they can take on more complex surgeries than the day procedures they’ve so far been permitted to perform.

That possibility is mentioned in a health ministry discussion paper of potential surgical reforms that’s gone out for stakeholder comment.

“Improved access to surgical services may include performing select surgical procedures which have length of stay up to three days, in private surgery centres using public funds,” the paper says, adding the change would require amending the Hospital Act. B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake announced an extra $10 million Monday to perform more day surgeries this summer – some through private clinics using public funds – in order to cut wait times.

But NDP health critic Judy Darcy said letting private surgery clinics go beyond day surgery to multi-day stays would be tantamount to turning them into fullfledged “private hospitals.”

Private surgery clinics so far perform barely one per cent of government-funded procedures in B.C. when public operating rooms ar-

en’t available.

Longer patient stays would open the door to many more surgeries flowing to private facilities, Darcy said, adding critical staff may follow, further reducing capacity in public hospitals.

“Health professionals are in short supply – anaethesiologists, specialty nurses – and if we drain them out of the public system into the private system we effectively become captive to private for-profit clinics,” Darcy said.

She called the proposal a “game changer” that has been quietly advanced under the guise of a short-term “band-aid” to cut waits.

“They ought to be doing the innovation and the strategic investment to use our public system to the maxi-

mum.”

Fraser Health does not initially foresee hiring private clinics to supply the extra 500 surgeries it plans over the summer – it will open more of its own closed operating rooms.

But the Vancouver Island and and Vancouver Coastal health authorities have indicated they expect to make some extra use of private surgeons.

Health Minister Terry Lake was unavailable for an interview.

The ministry instead issued a statement defending extended private clinic stays as a successful method of handling more hernia surgeries in Toronto.

“This is just one option that is on the table for consideration,” it said. “Not all of these

will be implemented.”

The policy paper indicates the main reason that about one in six hospital operating rooms are closed at any time is lack of funding, while staff shortages and lack of demand are also responsible in some cases.

The ministry says it’s working to increase training for specialist nurses and support recruitment and retention of key specialists, including anaethesiologists.

Doctors of B.C. president Dr. Bill Cavers said health watchdogs are right to be wary of the potential to drain staff from the public system, but said the association believes some increased use of private surgery

clinics “can be a good idea” as long as it’s publicly administered and funded, and quality and safety standards are upheld.

Demand on hospitals can vary due to flu season or a backlog of patients waiting for a particular procedure, he said.

“We feel that utilizing different avenues of access to care can improve the overall efficiency of the system,” Cavers said. “We have surgeons right now who can’t get enough operating room time.”

He said he doesn’t foresee large numbers of clinics opening to the extent that they might cause problems for the public system.

U.S Army anthrax not properly destroyed was sent to dozens of labs Robert Burns Associated Press

Buckingham palace recently confirmed that Queen Elizabeth II recently had a medical checkup.

Buckingham palace confirms Queen had medical checkup Danic a Kirk a Associated Press

LONDON - Buckingham Palace took the unusual step Wednesday of confirming that Queen Elizabeth II went to a hospital for her annual medical checkup after social media comments touched off speculation on her health.

The rare statement on a private matter for the queen came after a tweet posted on the account of a BBC journalist said the 89-year-old monarch was being treated in the hospital and that more details would follow.

The tweet, which used a “breaking news” tag, was sent during a BBC rehearsal for the monarch’s obituary, suggesting that the sender mistook the exercise for the real thing.

Screen grabs from social media suggest that a second tweet reported that the monarch had died. The journalist deleted the tweets.

“I can confirm that the queen this morning attended her annual medical check-up at the King Edward VII’s Hospital in London,” the palace said.

“This was a routine, pre-scheduled appointment. The queen has now left hospital.”

The commotion served merely to underscore the esteem in which the country holds the queen, who was crowned 62 years ago. News about her health is followed closely.

“During a technical rehearsal for an obituary, tweets were mistakenly sent from the account of a BBC journalist saying that a member of the royal family had been taken ill,” the BBC said in a statement. “The tweets were swiftly deleted and we apologize for any offence.”

The journalist, Ahmen Khawaja, is facing disciplinary action. She apologized for what she described as a “false alarm.”

Mountie pretends he’s homeless to catch drivers on cellphones C anadian Press

VERNON, B.C. - A British Columbia Mountie who posed as a homeless man - sort of - says the tactic was an effective way to catch drivers using cellphones or not wearing their seatbelts.

Cpl. Mark Taylor dressed in plain clothes and stood on a Vernon, B.C., street holding a cardboard sign that read “I am not homeless.”

Taylor said some passing drivers still assumed he was begging for change and avoided looking at him.

He said that when he saw drivers using their cellphones or not wearing seatbelts, he radioed officers further down the road, and they ticketed 11 drivers in one hour on Monday.

RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk said similar enforcement campaigns have involved officers impersonating construction workers or

commuters waiting for a bus.

He said the method works because drivers are much less likely to realize they’re being observed by police if the officer is not wearing a uniform.

“There’s no law saying we can’t do this,” Molendyk said.

“The whole idea is education, and that we’re serious about enforcing road safety.”

Occasionally, Taylor revealed the bottom half of his sign, which read, “RCMPolice looking for seatbelt/cell phones.”

Some law-abiding drivers appeared to appreciate the sly policing approach and gave Taylor a thumbs up.

Police plan to use a similar enforcement approach at other intersections in Vernon in the near future.

(Kelowna Daily Courier)

WASHINGTON - The problem of unintended shipments of potentially live anthrax spores over the past decade is worse than first believed, officials said Wednesday.

Officials said it’s possible that shipments were sent to more than four dozen laboratories in the U.S. and abroad.

That’s about twice the estimate of last week.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss specifics by name.

The Pentagon has repeatedly asserted that the mistakes posed no public health hazard.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is leading an investigation of the matter.

Details on the extent of the problem are expected to be presented at a news conference

Members of the U.S. Marine Corps’ ChemicalBiological Incident Response Force demonstrate anthrax clean-up techniques during a news conference.

Wednesday by Robert Work, the deputy defence secretary. Last Friday Work ordered a comprehensive review of laboratory procedures associated with killing, or inactivating, live anthrax for shipment to labs for research and other purposes, including for calibrating biological threat sensors such as those used by a number of federal government agencies, in-

cluding the Pentagon.

The scope of the problem has grown almost daily since the Pentagon first acknowledged it publicly last Wednesday.

The initial focus was on procedures used at an Army laboratory at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, which shipped live anthrax samples that it believed had been killed through the use of radiation. It

remains unclear why well-established procedures for killing the spores apparently did not work, at least with some batches of the bacteria.

Among the government labs identified in recent days as having received the suspect anthrax were the Army’s Edgewood Chemical Biological Center in Maryland and the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Virginia, as well as a lab on the grounds of the Pentagon.

Officials said that the Edgewood lab sent some of the samples it had received from Dugway to other labs in the U.S. On Tuesday, in its most recent update, the Pentagon said potentially live anthrax samples had been mistakenly sent to labs in 12 U.S. states as well as Australia, Canada and South Korea.

Van Buskirk sleeps at 10,000 feet; altitude tents have “taken off” with athletes Lori E wing Canadian Press

Kate Van Buskirk sleeps at 10,000 feet above sea level, and she never has to leave her Brampton, Ont., home.

The middle-distance runner sleeps in an altitude tent, which mimics higher elevation with reduced oxygen.

“This is becoming a really popular thing, I would say in the last three to five years it’s really taken off,” Van Buskirk said. “A lot of endurance athletes have started purchasing these systems.

The idea is that very few of us can afford, or it’s not logistically sound, for us to live at altitude year-round, so in order to gain some of the altitude benefits without actually having to live there, you can spend as many hours a day that you can in an enclosed altitude chamber.”

Living and training at altitude is beneficial to endurance athletes because it prompts the body to produce more red blood cells, which aid in oxygen delivery to the muscles.

Van Buskirk’s tent comes with a two-foot tall generator. She can set the unit to whatever altitude she wants. Total cost was $3,500.

The bronze medallist in the 1,500 metres in last summer’s Commonwealth Games had to work her way up to sleeping at 10,000 feet. By comparison, La Paz, Bolivia, is at 12,000 feet,

Altitude tends mimic higher eleveation with reduced oxygen which helps with endurance training. while Mexico City sits at 7,300.

“It definitely takes some adjusting,” Van Buskirk said. “My first few nights I definitely sleep worse, then the body adjusts and I sleep far better. In terms of a benefit, I had my best year ever last year, and probably attributed to a lot of different factors, but I’m sure the altitude tent helped to some degree.”

Van Buskirk also attended last month’s Canadian altitude camp for distance runner at Flagstaff, Ariz., which sits at 7,000 feet.

Sports physiologist Trent Stellingwerff, whose wife Hilary a middle-distance runner - has used an altitude tent, said the tent is a “light version” of altitude.

“It’s better to be there because you get more total hours at altitude,” he said. “If you sleep in the tent for a week, you’ll be lucky to get 70 hours (10 hours a night).

One week at altitude is 168 hours, so it can work, but training in the altitude gives you a slightly better response.”

East Ukraine battle leaves more than a dozen dead PE TER LEONARD Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine - A major battle erupted Wednesday on the western edge of the main separatist rebel stronghold in eastern Ukraine, leaving more than a dozen dead and threatening to tip the country back into fullblown war.

Rebels in the city of Donetsk reported 15 dead between civilians and combatants in territory under their control.

The Ukrainian Interior Ministry said at least one person was killed in Marinka, the government-held town where fighting was centred. Ukrainian presidential adviser Yury Biryukov cited the General Staff as saying three Ukrainian soldiers died in combat and that another 30 were wounded.

Each side is blaming the other for sparking this round of unrest.

Ukraine’s General Staff said in a statement that rebels deployed around 1,000 fighters and dozens of tanks and self-propelled artillery systems in a major offensive that started before dawn.

The statement said the attack was a flagrant violation of a February cease-fire agreement.

The head of the separatist armed forces, Vladimir Kononov, said his fighters had engaged only in defence measures after an all-out assault by the Ukrainian army.

“At around 03:45 a.m., the Ukrainian side carried out a provocation by shelling our positions practically along our entire front,” Kononov said.

Kononov listed several positions far apart from one another along the 450-kilometre (280-mile) front.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk accused Russia of inciting the fighting. Ukraine and the West assert Moscow supplies rebels with manpower and powerful weapons. Russia rejects those claims as unfounded.

Yatsenyuk urged the leaders meeting at the G7 summit in Germany this weekend to condemn Russia.

“The international community must come up with a correct and appropriate response to Russian aggression,” Yatsenyuk said.

Ukrainian Security Services spokesman Markian Lubkivskyi said his agency had information four troops with Russian military intelligence agency GRU were killed in Marinka. Lubkivskyi did not explain how that information was acquired.

Implementation of the cease-fire sealed in Belarus in February has foundered amid a proliferation of low-intensity battles that have now been overshadowed by developments in Marinka.

Negotiators from the warring sides met for new talks in Belarus on Tuesday, but

the session concluded without obvious progress. Another meeting is planned for the weekend.

Russia has said it is unnerved by the violence, which it is blaming on Ukraine.

“We here in Moscow are closely watching it and feel extreme concern about the provocative actions by the Ukrainian armed forces,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

The U.S. State Department said it was disturbed by the unrest and said any rebel attempts to seize Ukrainian territory would have costs for

The head of the government-controlled part of the Luhansk region, Hennadiy Moskal, said in a statement on his official website that an elderly couple died when their car was struck by a mortar Wednesday morning, 20 kilometres inside government-held territory.

Russia’s Interfax news agency cited a rebel representative as saying that one resident in the town of Yenakieve was killed near a waste treatment plant during a 20-minute barrage.

Ukraine’s military denies it attacked Yenakieve.

Jordanian restrictions leave Syria refugees stranded ASSOCIATED PRESS

AMMAN, Jordan - Jordanian border restrictions have left hundreds of Syrians refugees stranded in a remote desert area, a leading international rights group said Wednesday, urging Jordan to let them enter the country.

About 2,500 Syrians were stuck there just inside Jordan in mid-April, the New York-based Human Rights Watch said in a report based on satellite images, aid agency reports and refugee testimony.

The number of stranded Syrians dropped to 1,000 in late May after Jordan allowed some to move out, the report said.

The group’s regional director, Nadim Houry, said that Jordan has gone to great lengths to help refugees, but that this is “no excuse to abandon newer arrivals in remote areas for weeks without effective protection and regular aid access.”

Government spokesman Moham-

Russia, which it accuses of guiding the separatists.

“Russia bears direct responsibility for preventing these attacks and implementing a cease-fire,” said State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf.

Regular reports of casualties among government and separatist fighters have continued unabated since February, but deaths among noncombatants had almost ceased. That trend has been disrupted in recent days in an indication that the warring sides are again increasingly resorting to indiscriminate shelling.

Sale

med Momani said Jordan “continues to adopt an open border policy” in line with procedures worked out with the relevant international organizations.

Jordan hosts about 630,000 Syrian war refugees, out of almost 4 million who have fled their country since 2011.

The Jordanian government says a total of 1.4 million Syrians live in Jordan, including those who came before 2011, and make up 20 per cent of Jordan’s population.

Actors needed for 2015/16 CCT, KCT plays

For the Townsman

Calling all actors, new or experienced.

Cranbrook’s theatrical community is getting into gear for the upcoming 2015/2016 season. And the first step is a casting call, seeking actors to fill a variety of roles.

On Thursday, June 4, at 6:30 pm and on Saturday, June 6, at 11 am, Cranbrook Community Theatre is hosting casting calls for the 2015/2016 season, at the Stage Door.

The season opens in October with “Making God Laugh,” by Sean Grennan, and introducing director Trevor Lundy. The holidays always bring out the best, and the worst, in families and this one is no different. Over a span of thirty years, Ruthie and Bill welcome their adult children home for the festivities. The cast includes Mom and Dad, their two sons and one daughter. The story runs over three decades and starts when the kids are in their 20s and ends when they are in their 50s.

In January, Terry Miller will direct Ten-

Cranbrook Community Theatre’s upcoming season will feature works by (from left) Sean Grennan, Neil Simon and Tennessee Williams. CCT is hosting a casting call tonight and Saturday to fill a variety of roles. nessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize winning drama “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”.

Set in the South, Big Daddy’s family gather to celebrate his sixty-fifth birthday but the summer heat and tension are too much to bear.

Cast includes the mother and father in their 60s, and two sons and daughters-in-law in their 30s to 40s. Also needed are two men (the reverend and the doctor) who have cameo roles in one scene.

The season wraps up in May, with Neil Si-

mon’s classic comedy “The Odd Couple” directed by Bob McCue. Felix and Oscar may seem like an unlikely family but like a pair of battling siblings they know which buttons to push to drive each other crazy. Cast includes six men and two women, all aged 40 to 50.

Lots of male roles and a few female roles, and anyone interested in performing is invited to come audition.

And in January, the Pulitzer Prize winning comedy “Crimes of the Heart” will open the

2016 season at the Key City Theatre. This very funny yet heart-warming play will feature local performers and be directed by long-time director Paul Kershaw.

The plot centres around three eccentric sisters, a husband who has been shot and a lawyer with a vendetta. Horses die, old flames are rekindled and a birthday is celebrated a day late.

Family cruelty has never been more casually dealt with in this screwball Gothic comedy. Touching, tragic and daffy, “Crimes of the

Heart” is a darkly comic family feud of epic proportions.

The production will run over two weekends in mid-January, 2016, at the Key City Theatre.

Rehearsals will begin in the fall, but an audition will be held this Sunday, June 14, at 2 p.m. In the Green Room at the Key City Theatre. This audition is open to all who are interested in performing. The cast includes four women and two men.

For further information call Paul at 250-4263906.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Starting the day with an awkward conversation that you didn’t plan on having could send you into a funk. Your creativity soars, and as a result, you’ll you resolve what made you feel out of sync with this person. Remain positive, and keep conversations moving. Tonight: Out late.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are capable of making a change with ease. You see where you are going, and you understand why you are heading in that direction. You’ll have a vision that others will just have to trust.

You might be taken aback by a loved one’s news. Tonight: Paint the town red.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be on the verge of making a major change involving your finances. Do your best not to panic, as this adjustment probably will be for the best. A partnership might be significant here. Think twice before you take action. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be taken aback by a change in someone you know well. This transformation might have been happening for a while, but perhaps you are just now noticing. Go with the flow, as this person is still in the process of changing. Tonight: Others cannot resist you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Understand what is happening with an associate you see on a daily basis. You might be surprised by a change in what is going on in this person’s life. Your ability to adjust will be tested.

Let go of a need to control how things play out. Tonight: Think “weekend.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) How you handle a matter involving a child or loved one could be very important. Try to eliminate your side of any games. Everyone will be happier as a result. You might be more in tune with a situation than you realize. Tonight: Add a spark of wildness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be in a situation where you feel pressured to

Tundra

make certain statements. Don’t allow someone to coax you into doing anything. Understand what needs to happen with a child or family member. You probably will have to make a major adjustment. Tonight: Play it easy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You seem to be very tired and withdrawn. How you see a situation could change radically given some time, sleep and perhaps someone else’s powerful argument. You might be pushing yourself too hard; be careful. Be aware of what is happening. Tonight: Hang out with a buddy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep your eye on a money matter. The other party involved could have some strong feelings to share. Confusion surrounds a domestic matter as well. Try to clear up one situation at a time.

You might have to make a major change. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be very difficult to stop.

You might want to talk about a situation more openly than

you have in the past, as it could affect you today. Use care with a family member who tends to take out his or her anger on you.

Stay clear of this person’s issues.

Tonight: All smiles.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Surprises naturally surround you, no matter what you do.

Relax and try not to put so much emphasis on your thoughts. You will see a personal matter differently in a few days. Know that everything is changeable -- even your judgment. Tonight: Not to be found.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) What you believe you need could be very different from what you actually need. In the process of pursuing a long-term desire, you might discover that you have changed your mind. Stop and review this goal before proceeding.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: When I was growing up, we were all afraid of my mother. My own kids recently confessed that when they were little they were always afraid of Grandma because they never knew when she would completely lose it and take it out on them.

My mother seldom takes any interest in my kids except to find fault. When my teenage daughter recently went through a severe depression, I told Mom, thinking she might be understanding because my father committed suicide. Instead, she gave me a long lecture about all the things my husband and I were doing wrong. I told her she was cruel and hung up. I thought she might apologize, but she never did.

My husband and I moved across the country several years ago, but we still visit and stay at Mom’s house several times a year. We didn’t invite her to my children’s high school and college graduations because the kids said they’d rather not have Grandma attend. Because we already live so far away, I’m tempted to put an end to whatever connection we have. I think that would be best for my children and also for me. We have so many sentimental notions about grandmothers.

I kept hoping mine would act like one of those, but it has taken me this long to see that she is not capable of it.

Here’s the problem: I worry that my youngest child, who doesn’t know her grandmother that well, will think we deprived her of this relationship. My mother has shown more tolerance toward my youngest, saying this child is the only one who likes her. Should I keep in touch for my daughter’s sake? I feel terrible knowing that I was in complete denial about her when the older two were growing up. What if my mother can’t behave any better toward this one? -Worried Daughter Dear Worried: You live across the country, so this does not have to be an all-or-nothing solution. It’s possible your mother will have a better relationship with your youngest child, although you’ll need to keep an eye on it. Instead of cutting her off entirely, we suggest you try shortening your visits and having fewer of them. Once a year for three or four days is sufficient, and if possible, stay in a hotel.

Mom sounds as though she could benefit from therapy, but you cannot force her to do that. You can, however, help your children understand that Grandma has issues of her own and sometimes doesn’t behave appropriately. Your kids are old enough to learn how to cope with her.

And by the way, if your father committed suicide and your daughter suffers from depression, we hope you have spoken to her doctor about a possible genetic link.

Dear Annie: Your advice to “Played for a Fool” was good, but it wouldn’t have helped me. My two stepchildren owe us thousands of dollars. They were offered the money with the condition that it be paid back monthly, and the amount was affordable.

However, if the parents of these children feel no obligation to collect, any deal is moot. The children are essentially stealing, and it is their character that is in question. It destroys trust, and I find it difficult to spend time with them, especially when I hear about what they bought with my money. -- Smarter Now Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Investing in Communities and Infrastructure Investments in Canada’s public infrastructure creates jobs, promotes economic growth, and provides a high quality of life for families in every city and community across the country.

These investments build on our record of support for infrastructure and communities todate, which includes: • Providing nearly $600 million in the Homelessness Partnering Strategy and over $1.25 billion in the Investment in Affordable Housing to help those Canadians in need find and keep affordable housing.

• Providing $1 billion for renovations and energy retrofits for up to 200,000 affordable housing units.

• Investing $303 million annually in support of First Nations housing needs on reserves.

Over the past five years, this funding has supported the construction of approximately 1,750 new units, renovations to about 3,100 existing units, and other housing initiatives.

• Providing $2 billion for the Municipal Infrastructure Lending Program, which provided 272 low-cost loans to municipalities for housing-related infrastructure projects in towns and cities across the country.

• Renewing the Federal Tobacco Control Strategy with an investment of $368.5 million with a focus on contraband tobacco.

• Committing $870 million in federal funding through the P3 Canada Fund toward 19 public infrastructure projects that will deliver value for taxpayers.

• Investing $75 million for the construction of social housing units for persons with disabilities.

Our Government is also investing over $5 billion in federal infrastructure, including: • $2.8 billion to support infrastructure improvements to heritage, tourism, waterway and highway assets located within national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas across Canada; • $500 million for the repair and construction of on-reserve schools; • $452 million to repair and upgrade Canadian Armed Forces facilities; • $440 million to expedite the replacement of border infrastructure; • Approximately $400 million to maintain, upgrade and construct federally-owned buildings and other assets across Canada; • $380 million for major repairs and upgrading of federal laboratories and research facilities.

DAVID WILKS

MP Kootenay-Columbia 100 B Cranbrook St. N. 250.417.2250

1902 PEACE DECLARED … The welcome news of peace having been declared in South Africa came over the wires Sunday.

On Monday night London was a scene of jubilation, and all over England and in every English colony there was great rejoicing. The terms of peace are acceptable and England’s great war has ended.

FERNIE’S MINE DISASTER … The work of rescuing the bodies of the entombed miners has been pushed forward with great diligence and up to date about 115 to 120 have been recovered. The remains now found are in a bad state and have to be buried unidentified. The relief fund is growing rapidly, yet none too fast to meet the needs of the widows and orphans. Mr. Blakemore makes a report on the cause of the terrible disaster. He attributes it to the coal dust.

THE CHOIR CONCERT ... The concert to be given soon by the united choirs of the Presbyterian and Methodist churches will include the best musical talent in the town. Among the numbers already arranged for are solos by Miss Rhoda Leitch, Mrs. McLeod, Miss Lund and Mr. Johnson.

A male quartette consisting of Messrs.

McSweyn, Quain, G. T. Rogers and Bert Hill will be among the features. There will be several duets, trios and choruses. Those who will participate are busy practicing for the event, and the people of Cranbrook are evincing unusual interest in the proposed entertainment.

NO PUBLIC SMOKING … Joe Martin proposed an amendment in the house prohibiting smoking in public places.

Hold on, Martin, that is going too far. The pipe is a great solace to many a man. That is carrying a radical idea to a narrow-minded extreme.

HIGH WATER … The water in the Kootenay River is rapidly raising, at 12 a. m. on Friday the water gauge at the bridge registered a rise of ten feet above low-water.

WARM SPORT … Before an enthusiastic crowd of 200 people at the Turf and Athletic grounds on Monday, the Cranbrook lacrosse team were defeated by the Lethbridge aggregation of stick handlers by a score of 5 to 2 The weather was ideal for lacrosse and those who went up to the grounds witnessed a very good exhibition of the national game. The play was fast and the combination at times very good.

The feature of the game was the effective work of the Lethbridge defense, which reflected just credit of their trainer. The Cranbrook team throughout the game showed that they were not in such good form as their opponent.

HOW PECULIAR …A strange thing happened in Cranbrook last week. The high water, due to continuous rains, caused a flood of the swamp at the base of Baker Hill. The water came up so rapidly that it caught hundreds of frogs and before they could get out they were drowned. As a result, the decaying bodies putrefying in the sun the following day, created an odor that was extremely unpleasant to passersby.

TELL US ANOTHER! … One of the best stories that has been told around here lately comes from Fernie. During the high water the sawmill of D. V. Mott & Son was flooded, and the saw and carriage was nearly covered with water. Steam was on

The Fernie Mine disaster of 1902. and the saw was started, and before it was stopped a school of trout came dashing through the mill, and several hundred were cut upon the saw before the mill could be stopped.

SHORTER HOURS … A clerk’s union is being organized in Cranbrook. One of the objects of the proposed organization is to close the business houses at 6 o’clock.

ANYONE FOR CRICKET? … One week from Saturday there will be a cricket game between Englishmen and Canadians. The proceeds are to be given to the band. The spirit of rivalry is strong between the two teams and the game will be a warm one.

1903 OIL AT MORRISSEY … A large company will develop that land of promise. J. B. Ferguson, of Winnipeg, is at the head of a movement, to develop the oil lands near Morrissey. Mr. Ferguson has completed arrangements and boring will commence as soon as the machinery is in place. The Manitoba Free Press of a few days ago contained the following paragraph regarding the visit of J. B. Ferguson to Morrissey: “Clear, light brown oil that will burn in a lamp, that is what J. B. Ferguson has brought from East Kootenay with him. He skimmed it off the surface of a pool in the immediate vicinity in which he located eight square miles more. “Mr. Ferguson says that the property is located north of the Elk River, near the coal lands, which arc causing so many heart burnings among the Victoria politicians. The district located by Mr. Ferguson is really oil rocks rather than oil lands, and from this mountain of rock there is a continual oil-seepage. This rock smells the same as any other rock until it is struck one piece against another, causing an abrasion of the surface, then, the odor of the oil is very distinct. The rock oil is so pure as to be mistaken by everyone for refined oil. While the oil, in Alberta is black, this is almost as clear as water.

NEW RAIL LINE … Not a little interest is being manifested in the new line of railroad that is projected from Spokane to the Canadian border just below Yahk by Ex-Senator Turner and D.C. Corbin, of Spokane, This line means a good deal to Cranbrook, since its completion will give this town a direct line to Spokane.

HIGH WATER MAKING TROUBLE ...

The hot weather the past few days, has cut the snow in the mountains, and as a result the streams are bank high and considerable damage is being done. One bridge at Sirdar and another at Michel were washed out necessitating a transfer of passengers

and mail by the C. P. R. The telegraph line is down between Nelson and Cranbrook, and all messages sent Tuesday had to go by way of Winnipeg. Some damage has been done at Wardner to the improvements of the Crows Nest Pass Lumber company, and the East Kootenay Lumber company plant at Ryan, is liable to suffer from the flood. If the warm weather continues a few days longer there is no telling the extent of damage that will be done.

NEW FURNITURE COMPANY ... The Macconnell Furniture Company expects to be ready to open their new store for business Wednesday. They will have of the finest store buildings in town! As soon as their stock that is on the way arrives, they will be able to present to the people a magnificent array in the furniture line. The Herald predicts a good business for the new firm from the start.

IT SHOULD HAVE SURVIVED … A horse was found alive in the Frank mine after being without food or water for thirty-one days. It was given too much at the start and died.

WAIT A LITTLE WHILE … It is now conceded that it is not safe to live in Frank until it is known whether the other peak on Turtle mountain is going to fall or not.

KOOL KLOTHING ... Just glance over this list: FOR MEN = White Duck Trousers, White Duck Shirts, Wash Ties, Summer Suspenders, Canvas Shoes, Fine Balbriggan Underwear, Flannel Suits. FOR BOYS = Blouses in Galatea, Duck and Drill, Flannel Suits, Stripe Duck Suits, Cotton Underwear, Canvas Shoes, Wash Ties. See Our Windows. Reid & Company.

CHANGE OF PACE … Corey Dow came up from Wardner Saturday for a little metropolitan air.

THE STEAM SHOVEL AT WORK … A bunch of mining magnates from Fernie, were in town last week on a visit to Perry Creek. They were James McDonell, Foss, Dr. Bleasdell, W. R. Ross and Dr. Bonnell and are the leading stock holders in the East Kootenay Placer company, and are the people who had the nerve to install a steam shovel at great expense on Perry Creek to handle the dirt of their placer ground. The idea was laughed at by many of the old time placer miners, but laughing don’t effect that crowd. They kept digging up the coin and going ahead. As a result they are now ready for business and have demonstrated that the idea will be success. The Herald hopes the company will make a million out of the scheme, for the promoters deserve it for their nerve and shrewdness.

Lucinda “Cindy” Gayle Magee December 9, 1955 – June 1, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Cindy Magee announce her passing at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary on Monday, June 1st.

Cindy was the oldest of five children born to Roy and Doreen Magee. She was raised in Canal Flats and moved to Cranbrook in 1976. Cin had a number of jobs from Radium to Cranbrook throughout the years and loved the social aspect of any job she had. She made friends easy, kept them for life and knew almost everyone in the entire valley. She was a friendly, happy and outgoing person who always had the time to stop and chat with anyone she happened to run into.

She was the first one in line to help out. She was a very caring, gentle woman who would give the shirt off her back if she thought someone needed it more than her.

She volunteered at the Red Cross for the past 4 years where once again, she was able to help people in her happy, kind, friendly way.

She was an active ball player who loved not only the competitiveness of the game but also the team spirit.

When she was unable to play ball after her stroke in 2007, she often went out to the ball fields to keep score or to cheer on a team. She loved her family with all her heart, and especially her two grandchildren Caitlyn and Cody who were the lights of her life. She had an awesome sense of humour, which she maintained to the very end.

She is survived by her daughter Dorian Kernaghan (Kris); her grandchildren Caitlyn and Cody; father Roy; sisters Terry Babin (Denis) Maryann Connochie (Dick) and Linda Magee (Tim); nieces and nephews Jesse (Racheal), Jason and Leah Nicholas, Kristin and Chelsey Magee, Shayley Connochie; her special great nieces and nephew Gia, Jacob and Rozlyn; and extended family.

A memorial service for Cindy will be held on Friday, June 5th at McPhersons Funeral Home in Cranbrook at 11:00 am.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

THOMPSON, Kathleen Etta 1926 – 2015 In the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 27, 2015, KATHLEEN ETTA THOMPSON (Pettigrew) passed away at the F. W. Green Memorial Home in Cranbrook, BC at the age of 88 years. Kay was born on September 15, 1926 in Bass River, Nova Scotia and was one of five siblings. In her younger years she resided with her family in Upper Economy on the banks of the Bay of Fundy. In the early 1950’s she met and married the love of her life, Claude Thompson. Shortly thereafter they travelled across Canada to BC and arrived in Cranbrook where Claude had already bought a piece of property and set up residence in the Jim Smith Lake area.

Kay’s greatest passions were her family and many friends of which the front door was always open for a cup of tea, a warm meal and a helping hand if needed.

Kay was a great and compassionate animal lover and she adored and cherished the many cats and dogs that came across her path in life. Kay also loved the work she did as a camp cook, tree planter in Cranbrook and also the work she did at a christmas tree farm in Cranbrook. In her spare time she loved to take pictures, sit and work on her jigsaw puzzles, as was as making homemade jewelry, collecting stamps and with her friends and collecting coins.

Kay leaves her family to cherish her memory; Dale (Rita Bohme) Thompson, Lee (Judy) Thompson and her grandchildren; Shanna Bosch, Brenda Thompson (Mike Anderson), Amber Thompson (Michael Yawney), Danielle Thompson and Andrea Thompson (Stanley) Shawn. Kay also leaves behind four great grandchildren; Jaydon Anderson, Benjamin Stanley, Patton Bosch and Dylan Bosch. She also leaves her one remaining sibling Bobby Pettigrew of Nova Scotia to mourn her loss.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, June 6, 2015 at 1:00 pm at Westlawn Cemetery in Cranbrook for all those who wish to attend. A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, July 4, 2015 at 1:00 pm at the United Church Hall, 2 – 12th Ave. S., Cranbrook.

GRIS, Lois “Anne” 1936 – 2015 In the early morning hours of Thursday, May 28, 2015, LOIS “ANNE” GRIS passed away peacefully at the Joseph Creek Care Village in Cranbrook at the age of 78 years. Anne was born in Mission, BC on August 31, 1936 to Gordon and Millicent Ferguson.

Anne was an incredible musician and she loved to share her music with others. She taught piano for many years and touched the lives of so many with that talent. She graduated with highest honours from the Royal Conservatory of Music Canada becoming a gold medalist concert pianist. Both mom and dad enjoyed music. Dad taught at the Prince Charles Secondary School and when the school burned down, they were instrumental in setting up the Creston Concert Society , La Musica and the Creston Children’s Choir. Mom played for all the musicals in the drama department at the school. When Anne lived in Kamloops, she taught many students but one stood out for her than the rest. This young student came from a poor family and in order to practice the piano, the family drew a cardboard drawing of the piano keyboard for her. When Anne left Kamloops, she didn’t want this young girl to lose the natural talent she had so she gave her a Baldwin upright piano so she could continue on with her training. This act sums up her love of music and her thought that everyone should be able to achieve their dreams through music. Mom will now be joining dad and be reunited once again to carry on their music.

Anne leaves to cherish her memory her daughter, Nancy (Mike) Briggs; three grandchildren; Gordon (Brittany), Christopher and Brian (Melanie) Potyok and one great grandson; Jamison. Also left to mourn her are her step grandchildren; Cody Briggs and Patti (Shawn) Eckman and one great granddaughter Jessie. Also her loving sister and childhood trouble maker Freda (George) Bennett. She leaves many nieces, nephews cousins and her special friends; Donna (Earl) Clay, and her life long friend Gaye Olfert. Anne was predeceased by her beloved husband, Chester; her sister Judy and her parents.

A private family graveside service will be held. Memorial donations may be made in Anne’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society, 19 – 9th Ave. S., Cranbrook, BC V1C 2L9. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

Memorial donations may be made in Kay’s memory to the Cranbrook SPCA, PO Box 2, Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H6. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com.

A very special thank you to the RNs and RCAs in St. Marys’ pod of Joseph Creek Care Village for your kindness to mom while she resided there with you. As well as Dr.Witten It was appreciated more than words can say.

HI! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Cranbrook man in my early 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, professionally employed, attractive with a busy life. I find the internet dating to be misleading with a lack of honesty.

Obituaries

JOHN DOUGLAS (DOUG) MCDONALD: It is with sadness and a sense of peace that we announce the passing of a great man, father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather. John Douglas (Doug) McDonald passed away in the early morning on Monday May 25th at the Elk Valley hospital surrounded by his family and friends.

Doug was born in Okotoks, Alberta on July 3, 1920 and attended school in Roosville and later, in Fernie B.C. He then went on to work throughout his life on the McDonald Ranch with his father, brother and, in later years, his sons. Doug married Jessie Britney on July 4, 1945 who predeceased him in 2007.

When Doug started ranching and farming fruit, he supplied local stores in Fernie until he began to build the sawmill business and eventually developed the Phillips Creek Hydro plant or, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mac Hydro.â&#x20AC;? This development supplied and continues to supply power to sawmill and houses on the ranch. Other achievements included being one of the original founders of the Fernie Ski Hill, a school board trustee, and a director of the ILMA, Waldo Stockbreeders, and the BC Cattlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association.

Doug was also a loyal supporter of the 4-H programs in the area and often purchased a steer at the sale. He regularly attended church in Eureka, Montana and in Grasmere and was a very strong Mason, often travelling to many events with his brethren.

Doug loved music and spent many hours entertaining at dances and family gatherings playing his violin. In his later years he played his violin at church services in Eureka nearly every Sunday.

Doug is survived by many family members including his younger siblings, sons Barrie (Judy-Lou), Glenn (Ramona), Ian (Mary-Ann) and daughter-in-law Peri-Dawn. He had ten grand-children and, six great-grandchildren.

The funeral service for Doug will be held Monday June 8th at 11:00 AM at the United Church in Fernie, which is located at 2012nd Avenue.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Gizeh Shriners of BC & Yukon, Transportation Fund, 3550 Wayburne Drive, Burnaby, BC V5G 3K9.

YOUR AD in the BULLETIN has staying power. has selling power!

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

Don’t let fear decide how you live your life Anastasia Bartlet t

F

ear is a powerful motivator and a great controller. I have been controlled by fear since I was born.

Fear of displeasing my parents, of doing badly in school, of screwing up in the workplace, of the possible carcinogens leeching into my peanut butter from its plastic container, or of one of my children dying in a horrible car crash driving solo through the mountains.

Sometimes fear can keep us out of trouble.

These days, societal fear is getting out of control Fear is used in advertising; I’m missing out on the best of life if I don’t use this product.

The news tells me how horrible the world is (and that’s reinforced when I read the comment sections... never read the comment section!). Fear causes society to willingly relinquish freedoms to privacy, free speech, assembly and travel because if we don’t then

‘we support the bad guys’.

Living in constant fear can result in stress, hypertension, mental illness, cancer, obesity which reinforces fear, because all these illnesses can lead to incapacitation and death.

In our society today, a whole industries have evolved to combat the fear and its resulting problems. There are motivational speakers who encourage us to feel good about ourselves. A wide range of diets claim to heal whatever ails us. Aromatherapy and vitamins can keep us calm and relaxed. Life coaches and personal planners promise to get our lives organized. Doctors provide drugs to reduce our anxiety.

All of these are just bandaid solutions.

Though they may initially help to combat the fear, they often increase it as well. We are told, if the participant sticks with the program, they will have more energy

and be happy, and that may happen. But if not, then dire consequences may occur. For instance, if the diet is stopped, then symptoms can return and, don’t forget, yo-yo dieting can kill.

Eliminating the meds can cause a relapse worse than before.

These programs don’t necessarily help longterm, because all they deal with is superficial fear. Nothing available on the market deals with the main source of fear which is Death.

Even some religions abuse the power of fear.

Sure, they may preach death as a gateway to paradise so it shouldn’t be feared, but then they use fear of hell to keep their members in line. If prayers are not answered, there isn’t sufficient faith. If a ministry fails, it’s because members didn’t provide sufficient money and God will punish them. If a natural disaster occurs it’s because God is punishing the people who tolerate the sinners liv-

ing among them, (completely ignoring the lesson of the wheat and the tares in Matthew 13:2430).

As Yoda said; “Fear is the path to the dark side.

Fear leads to anger.

Anger leads to hate.

Hate leads to suffering.”

That is exactly what we see resulting from this fearful and heretical preaching.

Ultimately, the source of all our fear is the fear of Death. All our attempts to achieve a better life is to escape pain, suffering and death because we are looking at life the wrong way.

This time in which we live, is the time given us for preparation for the next life. Only the good die young because the righteous don’t need as much time here to prepare. Unfortunately, I do. I need all the time I can get in order to be ready for physical death; my graduation into eternity.

Every day I need to prepare myself for my

“God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.”

2 Timothy 1:7 death, because I am dying. We all are.

I need to face my death daily by practising love. Fear does not exist in love. Love should govern my every action because only by loving all people without intolerance, without expectation of reciprocation, without exception, leads me to God, because

God is love.

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.” 1 John 4:18 “God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 Life is 100 per cent

fatal. By peacefully accepting that daily, I have a chance of living without fear.

Nunavut to study feasibility of Arctic university C ANADIAN PRESS

IQALUIT, Nunavut The government of Nunavut has announced it will take the next step toward creating an Arctic university by funding a feasibility study.

“The purpose is to enable access to higher education at home that represents our diverse land,” Nunavut Commissioner Nellie Kusugak said Tuesday in a speech opening the new session of the territorial legislature.

“It remains evident there is a direct correlation among relationships between employment, higher earnings and higher education.”

The idea for a university in Canada’s Arctic has been around for years, but it has gained new energy after a recent high-level report written by northern educators, government and land-claim organizations.

That report recommended a university be

located in Iqaluit and suggested the school would need to be independent of government and Inuit organizations.

While it would be open to all, it would mostly serve Inuit students from across the North.

Classes in traditional Inuit knowledge and language would be mandatory.

Elders could be given the same status - and salary -as full professors.

The report proposed an initial course list of Inuit studies, fine arts, linguistics, political science and indigenous governance, education, health, natural science and law.

Quebec-based mining company Agnico Eagle, which operates a gold mine in Nunavut, recently offered the territory $5 million to start a university.

Kusugak added that the Nunavut government would also initiate a law school by 2017, offered by Nunavut Arctic College with help

Roving peacock makes its way back to city zoo C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - A roving peacock that captivated Toronto residents as it fluttered from roof to roof has made his way back to the city zoo he escaped from last week.

The colourful bird returned to his enclosure at the High Park Zoo sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, after first spending some time in the bison pen.

“While he readjusts to his habitat, he will be kept in the bird house in the evening,” said Nancy Macsween, a spokeswoman with the city’s parks and recreation department. “We will not be taking any further measures that would restrict the bird’s access and freedom.”

It wasn’t the first time the peacock had flown the coop, but it appeared to have been the bird’s longest stint away from home.

The fine-feathered fowl initially broke out of his enclosure last Wednesday, was coaxed back into his pen on Thursday and escaped again Friday morning, causing a stir as he was seen wandering down laneways, perching in

trees and roosting on rooftops in a west-end Toronto neighbourhood.

Many flocked to social media to report sightings and post pictures of the peacock.

And it didn’t take long for someone to start a Twitter account with posts from the bird’s perspective.

“I’m coming home, I’m coming home, tell the world I MIGHT be coming home,” the account tweeted on Monday. Animal control officers tried to capture the bird using blankets and nets but stopped actively pursuing the peacock on Saturday because they were afraid of driving him further away.

Earlier this week an official with the city’s parks department said feeding stations would be set out in local parks to draw the bird to a location where he could be captured.

It appeared, however, that the bird was content making his own way back to his home, in his own time.

Zoo staff will be monitoring the peacock’s movements over the next few days to see if the bird gets restless in his enclosure again.

from the territory’s Justice Department. In 2005, Nunavut graduated 11 Inuit lawyers through a program of-

fered through the University of Victoria.

There are some opportunities for post-secondary education in the

territory. Nunavut Arctic College brokers degrees in education and nursing through southern institutions. The Uni-

versity of the Arctic offers distance education through more than 100 institutions around the northern world.

But Canada remains the only Arctic nation in the world that doesn’t have a university located in its North.
