EK SPCA gets $84,000 grant TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The East Kootenay branch of the B.C. SPCA is getting some help to address a cat overpopulation in Cranbrook thanks to an $84,000 grant from PetSmart Charities.

The grant will go toward spaying and neutering 950 cats in Cranbrook and surrounding areas this year, both owned cats as well as free-roaming felines in four colonies.

“This grant from PetSmart Charities of Canada is fantastic news for Cranbrook. We have a constant intake of cats into our shelter,” says BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch manager Brenna Baker. “There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t have a waiting list of cats to get into the shelter, looking for

loving, forever homes.”

A major focus of the BC SPCA’s five-year Strategic Plan is addressing B.C.’s massive cat overpopulation problem, as tens of thousands of outdoor cats are left to fend for themselves outside, suffering from illness, injury, starvation, predator attacks and more.

Cranbrook has a large population of outdoor-living cats, and the grant will go toward sterilizing cats that would otherwise be left to reproduce, as well as assisting families and individuals who are unable to spay or neuter their pet due to financial constraints.

Moyie cabin robbed, burned T R E V O R C R AW L E Y

A Cranbrook family is reeling after thieves stole a large amount of tools and power equipment from a cabin out in Moyie, which they then set on fire as they fled.

On Tuesday morning, the cabin, which is adjacent to Cotton Tie Creek, was broken into and the tools and equipment were loaded into a vehicle that exited out of a driveway at the top of the Moyie bluffs.

In addition to the tools, the thieves also tried to steal a side-byside ATV by cutting the ignition out and prying the hood up, according to

“The cabin’s pretty well hidden from the road, it’s a little ways off the railroad tracks,” said Scriver. “It definitely seems to me that someone knew exactly where they were going.

“It’s very odd because it’s one of those situations where if you didn’t know the cabin was there, you probably wouldn’t have found it.”

As the culprits left, they also set fire to the place, which has caused in excess of $50,000, Scriver added.

Motion means potential paving for Pinecrest Arne Petryshen

A resolution that would make the resurfacing of 27A and 29th Avenue South in the Pinecrest area of Cranbrook a possibility in 2016 caused quite a bit of discussion at Monday night’s council meeting.

Coun. Isaac Hockley put forward the resolution which passed by a 5-2 vote. Councillors Ron Popoff and Norma Blissett were opposed to the resolution.

The resolution read that in February of 1971, the City of Cranbrook

extended its boundaries to include Pinecrest with the installation of “City Standard” sewer services to be paid entirely

by Pinecrest residents.

At that time, the city did not require water services or road repair to be upgraded to city standards. The residents of Pinecrest and the city participated in a mutual relationship in which taxes were paid in exchange for city services since 1973. On April 12, 2010, council directed replacement of the water services on 27A

and 29th Avenue South and added that “council shall consider paving 27A and 29th Avenue in future years, such consideration to be made in the context of city wide priorities and the direction arising from the asset management study.”

Hockley’s resolution asks that council direct city staff to defer and carry forward the 2015 gravel resurface project for 27A and 29th Avenue and bring it back in 2016 for council to consider paving 27A and 29th Av-

enue as part of the 2016 road program.

CAO Wayne Staudt noted that the Pinecrest roads are not identified as high priority on the Integrated Infrastructure Capital plan.

“These are identified by potential failure down the road, importance to the community and so forth,” Staudt said, adding that the Pinecrests streets are not listed to get paved surfaces in the next five years currently.

He noted there is a significant amount of roadwork — about $48 million in the next five years —that would be up before the paving of 27A and 29th Avenue South, without the resolution.

Coun. Norma Blissett was concerned about the motion.

“I realize there are other areas in the city that don’t have paved road services and some don’t have sewer and water services,” Blissett said. “I’m not sure that we should set this area aside as a priority over

other roads that are also gravelled.”

She noted 18th Street South, 19th Street South up 11th and 12th Avenue South.

“I’m afraid of making this a priority outside of the asset management plan. I think we should go with the asset management plan as priority number one,” she said.

“I’m not sure that these roads should be set as a high priority outside of that.”

Coun. Wesly Graham said it makes sense in terms of this year’s roads program.

“When we were looking at doing a bunch of paving we were looking for low-hanging fruit,” Graham said. “We were looking for roads that could be resurfaced that had decent water and sewer underneath it, and to the best of our knowledge we wouldn’t be digging up in a couple years time.”

Graham said from looking at these roads he would consider them safe judging from the

comments about the infrastructure work done in 2010.

Coun. Ron Popoff said he would support the resolution if the intent is not to give favouritism to these roads, but rather to add them to the list of those being considered for work in 2016.

Blissett worried that they were being prioritized over others, and that’s how it will come across to the public.

Graham said it makes sense to look at this because it is already slated for gravel work.

“If we’re going to spend upwards of $100,000 or whatever in gravel, maybe we should just have a look at these roads, because they are slated for some work, so if they are worth investing a bit of money into it, why not look at investing a bit more over the long term,” Graham said.

Mayor Lee Pratt said he agreed with both Graham and Blissett.

“But I tend to think if we’re specifically naming these outside of the

Dawn’s

asset management plan, then possibly we’re giving these people a false sense of hope,” Pratt said. “Personally I’ve driven down those roads and quite frankly there are streets in Cranbrook that are traveled much more frequently by many more people that are in worse shape than these two roads.”

Erik Sharpe, director of Engineering explained the new gravel surface is planned to move away from the two-inch minus, which was to form a solid enough surface for future road work.

Popoff asked for clarification on whether this moves outside the asset management plan.

Staudt oblidged.

“My interpretation would be, as Coun. Blissett has mentioned, we wouldn’t be bringing you forward in 2016, 27A Avenue and 29th Avenue as a priority road if not for this resolution,” Staudt said. “We’re moving outside the asset management plan.”

SPCA gets $84,000 for spaying, neutering Continued from page 1

“We have one of the largest cat populations in the province, so that includes feral and free-roaming cats and they just keep reproducing because they don’t get spayed and neutered,” said Baker. “...One female cat and her offspring can produce more than 200 kittens within one year.

The grant allows us to move forward and make a big difference in the region.”

Last year, 754 animals entered the care of the BC SPCA in Cranbrook. Of those, 523 were cats or kittens, and 256 of those kittens were from unwanted litters.

The East Kootenay branch can set up appointments for spaying and neutering cats for the public. The cost is usually $200, but if it’s a financial hardship, the EK B.C. SPCA will still do it but request a $40 donation.

In addition to the grant, the East Kootenay branch is also wrapping up some renovations to the building just outside of Cranbrook.

“What we did is we redid some of our cat rooms, just to make it more healthier environment, so we installed proper ventilation and we’ve also put in proper stainless steel cages instead of the old wooden ones and they’re a bigger size so it’s better welfare for the animals,” said Baker.

New flooring, built new walls, bigger rooms, and some proper animal cleaning areas were also installed. While that project still has a little bit of work to go, Baker is also eying the next step for animal care in the building.

“Our next goal will be to redo the dog kennel area,” she said.

“Right now it’s not up to standards for proper welfare for dogs, so we would like to put in plexiglass kennels, which is a huge expense and redo the insulation and walls within there as well, but we’re looking at a pretty hefty price tag of close to $100,000, so it’s going to be a big challenge to raise those funds, but I’m pretty sure we’re

Funding for the cat rooms came in the form of $24,000 from the Community Initiative funds of the Columbia

Basin Trust and RDEK, the City of Cranbrook and the City of Kimberley. The provincial office of the B.C. SPCA also kicked in $16,000

and there were many donations from local private citizens and businesses.

“It takes the whole community to tackle

such a large issue, and we couldn’t do it alone,” Baker said, adding that in addition to PetSmart Charities of Canada, the BC SPCA is grateful to

Coun. Wesley Graham had stated in a past meeting that he worried some of the proclamation requests fall beyond the scope of the municipality.

Graham’s resolution read: “Whereas Council has the discretion to support an organization

through its approval of proclamation requests; and Whereas proclamation requests are being received from increasingly diverse backgrounds, interests and cultures; and Whereas it would aid Council in its consideration of proclamation requests to have a guiding policy in order to make the process fair and equitable for all;

Now, therefore be it resolved that City staff be directed to prepare a policy around proclamations to be presented to Council for review, discussion and consideration.”

Coun. Ron Popoff noted that one of the possible outcomes of the review is council could decide to stop doing proclamations.

New B.C. committee to review mining rules after tailings pond breach See Friday’s Daily Townsman for full interview

CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA - British Columbia’s energy and mines minister has appointed a panel to figure out how to prevent mining disasters similar to the Mount Polley spill.

Bill Bennett says a committee will determine how to best enact seven recommendations from an expert report into last year’s tailings

pond breach in the Cariboo region.

The January report found the dam was built on a glacial lake deposit, which caused the weakened structure to burst and gush 24 million cubic metres of waste and water into salmon-bearing lakes and rivers.

Bennett says the committee is already

working to address four of the report’s recommendations, including those around improving engineering practices and strengthening regulatory operations.

B.C.’s chief inspector of mines will lead the panel, which will include representatives who were nominated by First Nations, mine labour unions and industry.

LE • REC YC

It is a celebration of solidarity and understanding from one first nation to another. Each year on Aboriginal Day, the Ktunaxa people welcome those who have found refuge in Canada to their traditional territory. This year, many of the Karen refugees from Burma, who now live in Kimberley and Cranbrook, were welcomed, some for the first time.

“Many Ktunaxa folks were interested to hear the history of the Karen people from Burma and to understand how they came to be here living on traditional Ktunaxa territory,” said Shauna Jimenez of Friends of Burma.

Here is what the MC, Carol Alexander said as she lead the welcome of the Karen refugees to traditional territory of the Ktunaxa.

“The Karen people of Burma are an ethnic, first-nation group inside Burma that the Burmese government has been oppressing for 40 years. The Burmese government frequently burns down their villages, destroys their crops, and enslaves these people - women and men.

“Many Karen people flee these attacks and cross the border into Thailand, where they live in refugee camps. Most of the Karen people have been in refugee camps for almost 20 years now.”

East Kootenay Friends of Burma is a group of volunteers in Kimberley, Cranbrook, Creston and Nelson, who sponsor some Karen refugees to this area every year. This means they raise enough funds to cover their first year in Canada and help them settle into the new culture here.

“We believe an important aspect for all newcomers to understand is that they now live upon traditional territory of the Ktunaxa people,” Jimenez said. “EK Friends of Burma hopes to build links with former refugees and Ktunaxa people in building understanding of each other as they are both ethnic first-nations groups that have experienced cultural genocide.

“This link is very important and the EK Friends of Burma would like to thank the Ktunaxa people for welcoming these newcomers as they seek safety on your traditional territory.”

Refugee advocates across Canada, belonging to the Canadian Council for Refugees, realize the importance of providing newcomers with accurate information about First Nation’s territory while building links with First Nations and former refugees, Jimenez said.

A quick talk through the eons No dinosaur nor trilobite was hurt, damaged or even disturbed during the writing of this column.

M

y neighbour, Jeff, caught me napping on the lawn the other day. I wasn’t supposed to be standing there napping; I was supposed to be getting indoors, dumping my day-pack and getting out of my boots, but I must have switched off. Jeff had been recounting in detail the story of his recent stay in the U.S.A. and I must have lost interest in the day.

We happy-go-lucky and daft old men who think that they can still climb mountains are prone to drifting off but, eventually, I’d slipped indoors and, discarding all the gear in a heap, had just examined my poor, battered old feet when the front door bell rang. Muttering obscenities, I crawled upstairs and there was Aldous, the neighbour from across the way. He wanted me to explain all about the theory of evolution. I rubbed my weary eyes and said, “You want the short version or the full lecture.”

Refreshing myself from the fridge, I waded into battle. “It’s not a theory, Al,” I explained, collapsing on to the lower stair, “It’s a fact; it really happened and still is.” I was wondering what a shower and an early night would feel like.

“Bet you sprayed your lawn with

weed-killer, right? Bet you didn’t get all the dandelions. The ones that didn’t die were already immune to the weed-killer so they survived and will produce seeds that will also grow into plants that that are immune.

That’s evolution for you.”

I could see that Aldous was tiring but I didn’t offer him a seat. My legs were starting to stiffen up.

“But what about the dinosaurs?” said Aldous. “Aren’t we descended from them?”

Here we go, I thought, wondering if I might actually die and become extinct Peter myself, right there on the stairs.

Warland lower “Okay! Bet the wife tries to keep the kitchen counters clean, using some disinfectant. Well, it doesn’t work, see. Some of the bugs are already immune to the stuff and they’ll go on raising families of bugs that are immune and take over the place.”

Aldous didn’t believe any old bug could beat his wife when it came to competing in the kitchen, but he was tiring, just the way my students did in days of yore. “What about Adam and Eve?” he asked, coming back to life.

“All people, all over the world have stories their ancestors made up about how humans came into being, Al. The Old Testament is just one version. But life on this earth of ours began millions of years ago and started with some water, some sunlight

and an algae-like life starting and spreading.”

But my neighbour was anxious to get on to the dinosaur bit. He’d apparently seen all three Jurassic Park films.

“Some of those early life-forms survived but most of them became extinct. That seems to be one of the rules of nature: extinction; survival is rare.” I could feel myself becoming extinct right there.

“D’you know that kangaroos are left-handed?” said Al suddenly, trying to stay one up on me. “I seen that on TV.” “They live in the southern hemisphere,” I improvised, “Everything’s left-handed down there and, besides, they never made it to Noah’s Ark.” I heaved myself to my feet and edged towards the door, backing up Aldous.

“Anyway, if you dig down through layers of sedimentary rock you’ll find the fossils of extinct creatures and, the deeper you go, the older they’ll be. Millions of years old, most of them.”

“You reckon I’ve got Tyrannosaurus Rex in my yard? My cousin over in Alberta found one. His wife reckoned it was the bones of their old dog, but he’s pretty excited,” said Al. “One of them’ll probably end up in that fancy Royal Tyrrell museum,” I said, then closed the front door firmly.

To almost quote a vaguely familiar adage: Immediately you are born you begin to die; explaining evolution to your neighbour when you are pooped accelerates the process exponentially.

Unprovoked Dog Attack

To the lady whose dog attacked our golden retriever in the Community Forest on the morning of Tuesday, June 23, 2015, We understand dogs can be unpredictable but for your dog to run at our dog from a distance and viciously attack him for no reason should raise serious concern for you. Fortunately for you and your dog, this unprovoked attack didn’t result in major injury to our dog. Next time you might not be so lucky.

This was very upsetting for my parents who were walking our well-disciplined dog. If you cannot control your dog 100 per cent of the time then walking off leash is not an option for you. We expect the next time we run into each other, your dog will be on leash.

Greyhound Route F

I was deeply concerned to learn that Greyhound Canada has filed an application to eliminate the Greyhound bus route F through the Columbia Valley. It would seem that such decisions are made without any concern for those of us who live in rural areas with large distances between communities.

I suppose that the rationale is that most people drive, but not everyone does, particularly the elderly, the handicapped and those who cannot afford to own vehicles.

One of the drawbacks of living in regions such as these is isolation. This proposal would contribute to that isolation.

A second point is that of transporting goods between the communities by Greyhound, which is relatively cheap and convenient.

A final point — and I consider this by far the most important one — is that some people who have to travel to Calgary may have no other means of transportation, and cannot afford to fly. Such a

decision could create immense distress to those who need it the least.

I sincerely hope that the application

by Greyhound Canada to the B.C. Passenger Transportation Board will be rescinded.

Root Cause Analysis

I am a Kootenay Ice season ticket holder since their arrival here and that will not change.

Regardless of ownership, any business must be run on profit-based principles, reinvestment and improvement — the Ice cannot be an exception. In my opinion, the team has had great success on the ice and challenges to the point of failure on the marketing and customer service side.

The scouting, coaches, ownership and management have done an incredible job of putting successful teams on the ice, year after year, and need to be commended for those successes. We appreciate the players’ hard work ethic and dedication and enjoy watching their growth and improvement.

When I look at the attendance records across the WHL, OHL and QMJHL there are quite a few problem teams and market areas; low and/or fluctuating attendance.

I find it interesting to compare teams; their ownership and population base.

Take the Moncton Wildcats, who have an approximate 4,400 per game; draw from a within city population of 64,000 and including the surrounding metropolis, 139,000. The Ice draw from a Cranbrook base population of 19,000 or within close rural of 26, 000 and inclusive of driving within 150 km in any direction a base of 75,000 people.The Ice’s attendance has dropped from a high of 3,635 in 2000/01 season to now around 2,230 per game. It is time the CHL President, WHL Commissioner and Kootenay Ice ownership step up and takes responsibility for a root cause analysis on why there has been a 1,400 person drop in game attendance; it’s not just simply because of economic downturns or fan apathy. Putting a good prod-

uct on the ice is not good enough; more focus, energy and leadership is required on the marketing/customer service side.

The team is the Kootenay Ice, not the Cranbrook Ice; we collectively need the support of all towns, cities and rural areas within the Kootenays and this will not be done at the expense of other junior hockey clubs in the area. The Kootenay Ice have had the benefit of many fine volunteers, but it is not up to those volunteers and committees to take the lead in putting the Ice on track for profitability and to support the CHL organizational structure. I suggest that the WHL Commissioner and Ice ownership have more focus on being visible in the community, get to know the businesses better and more importantly the customers at the rink; it’s not up to the customer to know you, it’s the other way around!

Other recent letters to the editor suggested town hall meetings; this is a good idea; expect some heat but if facilitated well could prove productive. I note that Prince George has seen a marked improvement in their attendance with whatever changes have been made. I also wonder why over the course of 17 years that we could not have more local talent on our team.

I find the timing and comments of the Commissioner during the playoff run, recent article in the Cranbrook Townsman suspect. I challenge Mr. Branch, Mr. Robison and Kootenay Ice ownership to conduct a root cause analysis, show more leadership and put an action plan in place to work cooperatively with municipal governments, local businesses, volunteer committees and the customer, the citizens and fans to turn this franchise around at the gate.

Lastly, beyond the expectation of a profitable hockey club, the real benefactors are the future players, who under the mentorship and guidance become contributors to society and only two to five per cent, at best, of them will earn their living in pro hockey.

Living Well

Recreation makes communities healthier

R

Julie Steffler

ecreation is an important part of being physically and mentally healthy. It is well known and supported by evidence that physical inactivity is one of the biggest risk factors for chronic disease such as heart disease and diabetes. Recreation also helps us reduce stress and anxiety. But did you also know that recreation plays a key role in the health of our communities?

Social isolation is also a risk factor for chronic disease. Individuals and communities are

Thursday, JUNE 25, 2015 Page 7

healthier when members feel connected to each other. In fact, social connectedness is just as important for our health as diet and exercise.

Recreation offers opportunities for a community to connect. Local governments can play a key role in supporting and creating opportunities for social connectedness in our communities.

Community members can encourage and support local governments to create policies, planning, programs, and community design that promote social connected-

ness.

Recreational activities can be physical, social, cultural or artistic. Community infrastructure such as parks, libraries, bicycle pathways, playing fields and community centres are just a few examples of how local governments can support the health of its citizens and the social connectedness of a community.

June is Parks and Recreation Month the perfect time to start including more recreation in our everyday lives. We are especially fortunate in B.C. to have

incredible open spaces and beautiful parks to explore natural forms of recreation in all seasons. So grab a neighbour or two and get out there and enjoy!

Providing opportunities for recreation is one of several ways citizens and governments can help create a healthy community. If you want to learn more visit PlanH (http://planh. ca).

Have fun!

Plenty to look forward to as Ice reveal 2015-16 schedule Home opener set for Friday, Sept. 25 with Calgary Hitmen visiting Western Financial Place

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice, along with the Western Hockey League, released regular season schedules for the 201516 WHL campaign Wednesday morning and there are plenty of highlights to look forward to for hockey fans in Cranbrook.

The Ice will open the WHL’s 50th season with a home-and-home series against the Calgary Hitmen, a longtime Central Division rival.

The Hitmen visit Cranbrook Friday, Sept. 25, before returning home to host the Ice Saturday, Sept. 26.

“We’re thrilled to be preparing for our 18th season here and can’t wait to get started,” said Chris Wahl, Kootenay Ice director of sales and public relations, Wednesday morning.

“We’re excited. It’s a long off-season, but now having that blueprint in place of where you’re going to be and when over the course of the season, people can start marking it down on their calendars if they have a particular team they want to see.”

Special dates Kootenay Ice fans may want to mark down include a Halloween afternoon game against the Seattle Thunderbirds, the annual teddy bear toss game on Saturday, Dec. 12 (against the Swift Current Broncos) and a New Year’s Eve game

featuring the Red Deer Rebels (4 p.m.).

As is the norm, the Ice will play a total of 72 games through the 2015-16 season, with 36 dates at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook.

Of those 36 home dates, 24 will be played on weekends, with 13 Friday contests, 10 Saturday outings and one Sunday affair.

The longest home stand for the Ice comes from Feb. 2, 2016 through Feb. 12, 2016, when the club will play five games, including a Wednesday, Feb. 10 date (12 p.m.) against the Tri-City Americans.

The mid-week matinee is tentatively slated to be marketed as a hockey hooky-style outing, similar to that of which the Edmonton Oil Kings have successfully run for a number of years. The Ice served as the Oil Kings opponent for the 2015 CN Hockey Hooky event Thursday, Jan. 22, 2015, at Rexall Place.

“We want to try the hockey hooky that we’ve seen be successful in other markets like Edmonton and Vancouver,”

Wahl said. “We’ve had some discussions with our local school districts and feel there’s some interest to pursue that.

“It’s a chance to incorporate the schools into an event at one of our games. In chatting with the school board, there’s the possibility to include some kind of educational components, incorporate hockey in the classroom.

“I hope it goes over well and we will be able to pull students, not just in Cranbrook, but from around the East Kootenay and expose them to our brand.”

Other than the Spokane Chiefs, which the Ice will take on five times in continuing a long-standing border battle, the rest of the U.S. Division will visit Cranbrook once in 2015-16 after staying home in 2014-15.

The Thunderbirds visit Western Financial Place on Oct. 31 while the Everett Silvertips travel to Cranbrook for a date with the Ice on Tuesday, Nov. 17.

The Americans (Feb. 10) and Portland Winterhawks (Saturday, Feb. 27) visit during the month of February.

The Ice and Chiefs will engage in a fivegame season series, including three games at Western Financial Place (Oct. 2, Jan. 22, Feb. 12).

Having hosted the B.C. Division during the 2014-15 WHL season, the Ice will trek through-

The five-game B.C. swing will see the Ice play the Blazers (Dec. 1), Kelowna Rockets (Dec. 2), Vancouver Giants (Dec. 4), Victoria Royals (Dec. 5) and Cougars (Dec. 8).

No different from any other year, the Ice will see plenty of its Central Division rivals.

The Ice play a total of 34 games against Central Division rivals, including seven against each of the Hitmen, Le-

thbridge Hurricanes, Medicine Hat Tigers and Red Deer Rebels.

The Ice will face the Oil Kings six times.

The Ice take on East Division squads four times each (two at home; two on the road).

All home games at Western Financial Place are slated for 7 p.m.

Tuesday through Saturday with the exception of any previously listed special dates.

The lone Sunday game at Western Financial Place -- Dec. 27 vs.

Calgary Hitmen -- will be a 4 p.m. start.

In addition to excitement of WHL hockey at

Western Financial Place, fans in Cranbrook can expect an enhanced ingame experience with the onset of the 2015-16 campaign.

A new sound system has been installed in the building and Wahl is hopeful it will help create a more electric and lively atmosphere on game nights.

Kootenay Ice season tickets are on sale now and will be up until Oct. 6.

Single-game tickets for the first three home games of the season will be available to purchase beginning Friday, Aug. 21.

Notes: Kootenay Ice prospect Griffin Mendel has been invited to Hockey Canada’s 2015 National Under-17 Development Camp. Mendel, a former first round pick (11th overall) of the Ice at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, is one of 111 invitees to the camp, which helps to determine the 66 players that will represent Canada at the 2015 World U-17 Hockey Challenge. Mendel is committed to the BCHL’s Penticton Vees for the 2015-16 season.

NHL board of governors approves opening of formal expansion process Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

LAS VEGAS - The NHL’s board of governors has given the green light to opening a formal expansion process.

Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the decision at a news conference in Las Vegas insisting it’s no guarantee that the NHL will add a 31st or 32nd team.

It’s an important step

Applications are being accepted for

COACHES

of all levels (Beginner to Midget)

Application forms can be found at

www.kimberleyminorhockey.ca Mail applications to: Kimberley Minor Hockey, Box 73, Kimberley, BC V1A 2Y5

Deadline for applications is June 30, 2015.

toward expanding the league. Interested parties will have from July 6 until August 10 to apply.

“We will then go through a formal vetting process, and the board ultimately will determine whether or not there’s any interest in expanding,” Bettman said. “If the conclusion is there is interest from the league’s perspective, then there will be focus on what the terms would be and who the likely successful candidates might be.”

Deputy commissioner Bill Daly added the 2017-18 season would

be the earliest an expansion team would debut.

Bill Foley’s Hockey Vision Las Vegas is at the forefront of expansion, and the city is the favourite to get a franchise.

The Las Vegas season-ticket drive received 13,200 deposits for seats at the arena set to open next spring, according to Daly. Those deposits are technically refundable if a team is not in place for 2016-17, but Daly said he didn’t think Foley’s group was concerned.

Seattle and Quebec City are other leading candidates for expansion, and Toronto is an-

other possibility. Daly said other cities, such as Milwaukee, Portland and Kansas City have also expressed interest.

Quebecor and the NHL have a relationship through a French-language TV-rights deal, and the Videotron Centre is set to open soon.

“We know in the province of Quebec, hockey is a religion. We are all, as individuals, hockey maniacs,” Quebecor president and CEO Pierre Dion said.

“Quebec is an extraordinary market and we have a corporation, Quebecor, who has shown for three

or four years its willingness to be a major player in sports, with TVA Sports, the Armada, the Remparts, manager of the (Videotron Centre) for the next 25 years. We have all the ingredients.”

Seattle’s lack of an arena is the stumbling block to getting a team, and there’s less certainty on potential ownership.

Bettman said the expansion fee will be at least US$500 million.

Any applicants must also pay a fee, some of which is refundable, Daly said.

The NHL has had 30 teams since most recent expansion in 2000, when

the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild joined. The expansion fee was $80 million for those teams, the Atlanta Thrashers and Nashville Predators and $50 million earlier for the Ottawa Senators, San Jose Sharks, Anaheim Ducks and Florida Panthers.

The Eastern Conference has 16 teams while there are 14 in the West, something that could play a role in what cities the league might choose to expand to. But Bettman said geography and imbalance are not the sole factors.

MLB Briefs

Mariners’ OF Gutierrez on comeback trail ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE - The Seattle Mariners have called up outfielder Franklin Gutierrez from Triple-A Tacoma, nearly two years after he last played in a major league game.

Seattle made the roster move on Wednesday and optioned James Jones to Tacoma. Gutierrez was scheduled to be in the starting lineup and playing left field for the Mariners in their series finale against Kansas City.

Gutierrez last played in the majors in September 2013 and did not play all of last season. The former Gold Glove winning outfielder has been injury prone through his Seattle career and was slowed in recent seasons by stomach issues. Between 2011 and 2013, Gutierrez appeared in just 173 games for Seattle.

But Gutierrez was thriving at Triple-A this season, hitting .317 with 12 doubles, seven home runs and 31 RBIs in 48 games.

Blue Jays edge Rays in extras ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Marco Estrada lost his bid for a perfect game on Logan Forsythe’s infield single with one out in the eighth inning, but Chris Colabello homered in the 12th to lift the Toronto Blue Jays over the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0 on Wednesday.

Forsythe barely beat out a slow chopper to third that Josh Donaldson fielded barehanded. Donaldson’s throw to first was just a hair too late.

Toronto challenged the call by umpire Joe West, which was confirmed after 40-second replay review.

Tampa Bay’s only other hit off Estrada was Kevin Kiermaier’s two-out double in the ninth that chased the right-hander.

If you have never played in the Elks Tournament before you really should consider entering next year as it combines a fun day of golf and a great dinner as we welcome players of all abilities. Watch for the posters next spring.

A fabulous prime rib dinner back at the Elks hall (special shout out to Maryanne Duthie and helpers for a great dinner) capped off the day and featured a sing along led by Big Al Morrison.

This year’s major prize winners were: Ladies’ Low Gross Nancy Fraser, runner up Toni Lepore.

Ladies’ Low Net (Diane Sorensen Memorial Trophy) Debra Krantz, runner up our own Debbie Burt.

Ladies’ Low Net winners: Donna Heidt, second flight Sue Osterkampf, third flight Marg Biggs.

Ladies Low Gross winners: Laura Millard, second flight Debbie McLean, third flight Ethel Jenkins Men’s prize winners were: Low Gross (Bill Hyrciuk Trophy) Ron Osterkampf, runner up Jim Scott.

Men’s Low Gross winners: John Scanland, second flight Murray McLean, third flight Jim Hughes, fourth flight Peter Scheidegger, fifth flight Jeff Caron.

Men’s Low Net (Louie Cimolai Memorial Trophy) Kelly Turner, runner up Lorne McIntosh.

The Kimberley Elks Lodge #90

Men’s Low Net winners: Larry Bussey, second flight Gord Jenkins, third flight Randy Krantz, fourth flight Harry Brown, fifth flight Doug Sandburg.

We have too many sponsors to list here but we extend heartfelt thanks to all of you on behalf of youth sports in the area.

You know who you are and we couldn’t do it without you.

We tend to take for granted the great golf course we get to play this tournament on every year.

Many thanks go to Tom Vold and his ever helpful staff at the Kimberley Golf Club and Tim Foley and his crew for maintaining such an excellent track.

Thanks again to our Elks volunteers: Golf Committee head Lorne McIntosh, Sylvia McIntosh, Wendy Van Puymbroeck, Chris Sorensen, Braiden Stairs and Bruce Irwin.

Special thanks to Jim Scott for taking on Emcee duties and Exalted Ruler Aurel Beaudin for handing out the trophies.

Legislature back July 13 for LNG deal Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is being re-

called July 13 to examine and approve a 25year tax and royalty agreement for B.C.’s first

major liquefied natural gas investment.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tues-

day a project development agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG’s pipeline and export ter-

minal near Prince Rupert has been approved by the energy companies proposing the in-

vestment of up to $36 billion. The project still needs federal environmental approval and an

agreement with Coast Tsimshian and other First Nations in whose traditional territories the pipeline and shipping facilities would be built.

Members of the Lax Kw’alaams Band voted down an offer from Pacific Northwest LNG in May, citing concern about the terminal’s impact on salmon habitat in the Skeena River estuary, despite a design change to build a bridge for the pipeline above the area known as Flora Bank.

The province revealed the general outlines of the project agreement in May. It provides minimum gas royalty revenues for B.C., with increased revenue to the investors if the spread between North American and Asian prices increases during the term.

It also provides for compensation to the investors if future governments impose “discriminatory” increases to carbon tax or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG plants during the next 25 years. NDP leader John Horgan said he is concerned that the B.C. Liberal government over-promised the benefits of LNG development and may now be offering “too much lolly” to land the first big deal.

Pacific Northwest is a consortium led by Malaysia’s state-owned energy company PETRONAS, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei.

The B.C. government approved a separate 3.5 per cent LNG income tax last fall, and passed legislation to control the amount of property tax the local government can impose on the project.

Limits were also placed on conventional pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the project, with carbon offsets required if the operation exceeds 0.16 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per tonne of LNG produced.

CRANBROOK, BC--The line-up of incredible entertainment for this year’s Canada Day Celebrations is confirmed. It’s not just the fireworks who will be stealing the show during July 1st at Moir Park. Connect Cranbrook is bringing in a wide variety of highly talented acts from across Canada and right here at home.

Throw on something red or white as we want everyone to be part of a photo to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of our Canadian Flag. It will be the shape and colour of our flag, but made up of all the amazing people in Cranbrook.

The photo will be at 7:30 p.m. but come out to Moir Park at 5 p.m. to start taking in the fun.

The headliner for the evening is Shred Kelly. They will be rocking

the park with their signature version of “Stoke-folk” music.

This band has been selling out shows across the country, performing at some of the nation’s premier festivals and are receiving a growing list of awards.

Cranbrook’s own, The Testers, will get the party started with their good time classic rock. Also,

back by popular demand, after high energy performances last year are the Good Ol Goats and the Connect Band.

Country singer/ songwriter Dani Strong, will also be making an appearance. She has an impressive array of accomplishments including making it to the top 50 for the hit series Nashville Star, and winning an ep-

isode of the Florida based TV show, Do I Have A Hit Song.

These entertainers are just part of the fun. There will also be Glow Zumba, PT the Clown, Retro Aerobics, buskers, games, vendors, clowns, bouncy castles...Check out www.ourcanadaday. com for all the fabulous details.

Mining activity picking up in B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press

The Red Chris copper and gold mine in northwestern B.C. is ramping up production after overcoming protests, declining metal prices and three reviews of its tailings facility.

Imperial Metals received its Mines Act permit for Red Chris June 19, after additional scrutiny of the open-pit mine’s construction in the wake of the August 2014 tailings dam breach at the company’s Mount Polley mine near Williams Lake.

That breach triggered independent reviews of nearly 100 mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, looking for design or operational weaknesses that indicate risk.

The Tahltan Nation commissioned its own assessment of Red Chris, located 18 km southeast of

the Tahltan village of Iskut, before community members voted 87 per cent in favour of a benefits sharing agreement for the mine.

Powered by BC Hydro’s new northwest transmission line, the project will truck ore concentrate to the bulk shipping terminal at Stewart near the Alaska border.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said mines like Red Chris can operate profitably even in the current low-price market for copper, if their processes are efficient. Imperial Metals conducted drill tests showing higher-grade copper and gold deposits deep below the surface ore body.

Imperial has applied for a permit to reopen Mount Polley, using an empty pit to hold tailings as work continues to repair the dam and remediate the washed-out creek below. Bennett

said inspectors are expected to make a decision on that permit in July.

Another mine expected to begin operation this summer is Brucejack, an underground gold mine 275 km northwest of Smithers. Underground mines produce less waste rock than open-pit operations, and Brucejack’s owner Pretivm plan to return some of the rock underground as cemented paste.

Another underground mine preparing for operation is Silvertip, an ore deposit near the Yukon border that was first identified in 1957. The province and the Kaska Dena First Nations signed an engagement agreement in 2012, determining a structure for resource permits for Silvertip and other projects covering millions of hectares on northern B.C.

Ministry of Energy and Mines

The Red Chris mine near Iskut is moving to full operation on one of the world’s largest copper and gold deposits.

Defining the Adventure Traveller Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel talks about a good way to get off the beaten track

Have you always wanted to avoid crowds of tourists and travel to off the beaten track destinations, while being active and mingling with locals? Then adventure travel is probably for you, regardless of your age.

One of the companies I regularly use for my personal travel and recommend to my clients is G Adventures, a Canadian success story.

Read the founder Bruce Poon Tip’s book, called Looptail, and you will understand the passion and purpose behind this company.

One of G Adventures’ tag lines is “We love changing people’s lives.”

To do that, they have to define and develop unique experiences for everyone they come into contact with, from the local guides they employ to the travellers that purchase trips from them. Everyone has to

get passionate, engaged, have a purpose and provide a quality product!

G Adventures does this. They also promote sustainable solutions to minimize tourism’s impact on the world. Their Planeterra Foundation is a non-profit which works with local communities to minimize tourism’s footprint. A portion of every trip you purchase goes to this non-profit. From this pot of money, projects are created, such as the women’s weaving project in Peru; the survivors of human trafficking project in Nepal; the vocational project in Cambodia. And it goes to help out when disaster strikes, like the recent earthquake in Nepal.

So what is a G Adventures trip like? It’s a small group, 8 to 12 is the average. All ages, though there are different styles of travel, so

YOLO (You only live once) is directed at under 35, and COMFORT is targeted at baby boomers. There are Active, Marine, Family, Local Living and Classic styles as well. Regardless, you will stay in local two-four star accommodation, travel on a variety of local transport, and eat local food in locally owned and operated restaurants.

You will see the sights and attractions that your local guide thinks are important and you will have lots of free time to do your own exploring. So … do you think you are an adventure traveller?

A few other nice touches – all departures are guaranteed, even if there is only one person signed up; if you have to cancel your trip, your deposit is put into a lifetime account, to be used later, or even transferred to another person; and

Ten Easy Ways to Stay on Budget this Summer The lazy days of summer are here and with them come plenty of ways to spend. Here’s some easy tips to keep your budget on track through the sunny season!

1. Keep it on tap. Fill your own reusable bottles each day instead of buying bottled water.

You’ll save money, and do good things for the planet.

2. Be a borrower. Get your summer reading material at the library or online.

3. Skip the brands. We go through a lot of sunscreen and similar products in summer. Shop for cheaper house brands: the quality is usually excellent.

4. Perfect the potluck. Make your own signature dish and get

guests to bring a favourite of their own, allowing them to share in the cost and effort of your backyard meal.

5. Pack a lunch. Make it part of the experience of a car trip or excursion. Find a picnic spot to enjoy your homemade goodies.

6. Shop the sales. Hold off updating your wardrobe until the summer styles go on sale.

7. Chill. Replace your AC filters.

Set the temperature just one degree higher. Open the windows at night, and close the blinds during the day. On hot days, skip the hot stove.

8. Festival season. Lots of great events are completely free of charge. Look online for

something you’ll love.

9. Snap up those souvenirs. The best summer souvenirs are often the photos. Skip the souvenir shops; take more pictures instead.

10. Take a load off. Take advantage of historically low interest rates to refinance your mortgage and roll large amounts of credit card debt into your mortgage, if you have enough equity.

This simple strategy can save thousands, give you one easy payment, and help you be mortgage free sooner. Then take that credit card, and put a post-it note on it that says “emergency use only”.

Now kick back and really enjoy your summer!

Columbia Valley

Shuswap members will decide if Band support for Jumbo resort continues Nicole Trigg Columbia Valley Pioneer

The Cranbrook District Teachers’ Association would like to honour the long and distinguished careers of the following teachers who have retired this year.

Jack van Leusden

Peggy Rokosh

Patti Mitchell

Wendy Gook

Christine Olson

Scott Martin

Grant Giles

Carol Kitson

Dawn Fenwick

Deanna Matthews

Dianne Fisher

Dawn Pelton

Thank you for all your years of dedication to the teaching profession.

The Shuswap Band will be reconsidering its support of Jumbo Glacier Resort based on the opinions of Band members now that the project cannot proceed without a new environmental assessment certificate.

In a press release issued today (June 23rd), Shuswap chief Barb Cote said that by taking this route, she understands the Band’s previous position of support could change. The previous Band Council had publicly supported the Jumbo project.

“In the past, our members were not typically involved in the decision making process.

One of the main reasons that the current council was elected was to ensure that there was greater accountability of the Band Council to its members,” Ms. Cote said in the release.

“We take that responsibility very seriously and in the case of the Jumbo Resort, I am fully committed to involving the members in determining how we are going forward.”

Ms. Cote has confirmed the Shuswap Indian Band has an

Impact Benefit Agreement with Glacier Resorts Ltd. (the developer for Jumbo) dated October 8th, 2008 and a draft agreement dated June 19th, 2009 with the Province of B.C. to address impacts and benefits from the project.

It is expected that the position of the Shuswap Indian Band membership on the

Jumbo Resort development will be clarified within the next several weeks.

“We are a fairly small community and it is not difficult to reach out to all the families, especially now that so many people are using social media.

Council expects that people will be eager to state their opinions and so we think this pro-

cess will happen quickly,” stated Ms. Cote.

In conjunction with the community consultation process, Chief and Council will be assessing its legal position given that agreements are in place with Glacier Resort and the provincial government.

Driver pulled from burning wreckage near Bombi summit Nelson Star

Salmo RCMP say the fast action of two people helped save a man’s life on Highway 3 near the Bombi summit. On Saturday, June 20 Salmo RCMP were dispatched at 6:30 p.m. to a single vehicle accident by BC Ambulance near the top of the summit between Salmo and Castlegar.

Salmo RCMP spoke with a witness that stated he came

around a corner and saw a large cloud of dust. An SUV was upside down in the middle of the road and was on fire. The witness ran to the vehicle and saw a male driver seat belted in and crushed inside the vehicle.

Another passer-by helped cut the seatbelt and dragged the driver out. The vehicle was totally engulfed soon after the driver was freed.

In a written statement,

RCMP say the driver may have been having diabetic issues and ambulance tended to him at the scene and brought him to hospital.

Salmo RCMP would like to thank the two witnesses that pulled the driver from the wreckage and may have saved his life.

The RCMP will be releasing their names for recognition.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

The Week of June 21 - 27

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1902 Going the wrong way … The Old Man is informed that three young boys stole some liquor last Monday evening and became beastly intoxicated. This is a sad occurrence. It should be a lesson to parents. Boys should receive careful attention and not be allowed to roam at will. Too many in Cranbrook are going to the devil because they know nothing of home discipline or home teaching. Save the boys and the men will be all right.

Coronation on hold … An extraordinary issue of the Gazette published this evening officially announced the definite postponement of the coronation ceremonies. King Edward was tragically stricken down on the eve of his coronation and had to undergo a serious operation for appendicitis .

When the news was given out in parliament dramatic scenes followed. Measures were at once introduced and passed, cancelling all celebrations and festivities, and throughout London there is a horrible feeling of suspense.

The St. Mary’s Valley ... Fred Hazen came down from the St. Mary’s valley Monday, where he has some valuable mineral claims.

He is working on the Hardscrabble and has a better showing than he has had at any time since he started operations. Mr. Hazen looks upon the St. Mary’s country as one of the best in this district, and says that the past two years has demonstrated the fact that in every instance where work has been done the property has improved. What the valley needs is transportation, and it is to be hoped that either the C. P. R. or Jim Hill will build a road from Marysville west.

Football team won ... Last Friday night the Cranbrook Lacrosse club played the football boys a game of lacrosse, the receipts being appropriated for the Fernie relief fund. The la-

crosse club naturally thought they had a cinch, but the opinion underwent a rapid change after five minutes of rapid playing.

How those football boys did play. How they did chase the ball and check their opponents. They never quit and their staying qualities were wonderful. The spectators soon saw that it was a fight to the finish. The lacrosse boys had a reputation to maintain, and the football boys one to win. The crowd, of course, was with the football boys, and good plays were cheered to the echo. It was a hot game and resulted in a victory for the football team by a score of 3 to 2.

It was a sad day for the lacrosse boys when Haines’ Indians came to town.

Such foolishness …

The foolish legislation permitting boys 18 years of age to vote has been revoked. This act will go down in history as an instance when the British Columbia legislators of 1892 were controlled by common sense. Let us give the members credit for it. The Lord knows that they deserve little enough for their work this year.

Want to bet? … A number of Cranbrook people will attend the races at Grand Forks on Dominion Day. Tom Wellman may take over two of his horses, Christ-

mas Gift and Roy Carruthers. If he does, it is 20 to 1 that he will come away with some of the coin.

1903 FARCE … One of the most expensive farces perpetrated upon the tax payers of this district is the taking of prisoners from this district to Nelson for incarceration. It has cost thousands of dollars in the past few years that might have been saved by having a gaol at some central point in this district. It is time for a change.

A battle royal ...

South East Kootenay will be a warm battlefield during the coming provincial campaign. The former district has been divided and in the future that portion lying east of the Kootenay River and south of Bull River will be known as the Fernie district. It will include the towns of Michel, Fernie, Coal Creek, Morrissey, Morrissey Mines, Elko and Jaffray. The portion lying north of Bull River and west of the Kootenay River will be known as Cranbrook district, and includes the towns of Cranbrook, Fort Steele, Moyie, Wardner, Marysville, Kimberley, North Star Mine and Ryan. Under the new law that went into effect upon the dissolution of the house, all voters lists are nullified, and a new list must be

The Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 24 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Cranbrook, is pleased to announce the following winners of their annual Sam Steele Raffle.

1st Prize of $500.00 Hilda Jackson of Cranbrook

2nd Prize of $300.00 Cecile Krol of Cranbrook

made in accordance with the new distribution and it is absolutely necessary for a man to have his name on the new list if he is to vote at the coming election. Already the work of collecting votes is under headway, and several hundred names have been registered up to date in this district.

Mosquito hell … Not since the high water of 1894 have the mosquitoes been so bad. At Wasa, Fort Steele and Wardner they drive the people to shelter at times, and at Wardner it is almost impossible for the men to work.

Big drop … David Griffith met with an accident last Wednesday evening by stepping off the high sidewalk near the Wentworth hotel after dark He was badly shaken up and compelled to go to the hospital for a week, but is getting along nicely now.

Ouch! … James Finlay, of Kimberley, was in town a few days last week. Mr. Finlay met with a serious accident last week, while riding a horse and leading another. The animal he was leading became startled and jumped backward, catching a finger on Mr. Finlay’s right hand between the rope and saddle horn, cutting it off as clean as if done with a knife.

Big Liberal meeting ... Next Tuesday evening

a meeting will be held at Leask’s hall and every citizen of Cranbrook and vicinity who cares to affiliate with the Liberal party in the coming election is requested to be present.

Mosquitoes again …

G. H. Gilpin returned Monday from a trip up the Kootenay River. He spent a few hours at Wasa and says the mosquitoes will assay a million to the square inch in that section.

Winning streak …

Tom Wellman’s stable of race horses has been capturing many purses at the Seattle races. Last week he had a winner nearly every day and considerable coin came his way in consequence.

Elk river bridge …

The people in the Tobacco Plains country are anxious about the building of that bridge over the Elk River. For more than a year the British Columbia government has allowed those people to be cut off from the market, and to be virtually ostracized from the world. It is a shame and a disgrace. The the people have good reason to kick.

May build a brewery ... N. Klousman, of Greenwood, was in town this week looking over the field with the idea of building a brewery. He expressed himself as being well satisfied with the outlook, and may conclude to locate here.

3rd Prize of $200.00

FACTS You Need to Know About…

INVASIVE SPECIES MONTH With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

1

Invasive species of flora and fauna are one of the most serious threats against our natural environment. I have fought hard for many years to ensure that the East Kootenay gets the funding we need to combat the spread of noxious weeds and I will continue that fight along with the EK Invasive Species Council which does good work.

2

Today, we are facing a new threat from a different kind of invasive species - zebra mussels. These insidious little creatures infested the waterways of where I grew up in small town Ontario. They ruined all the wonderful places where I used to swim, fish and duck hunt. We cannot allow zebra mussels to get a foothold in the East Kootenay.

3

We were the first region in BC to get a mobile wash station for boats, thanks to funding from CBT. But last year, 12 contaiminated boats were intercepted and this year, 2 so far. Please, if you take your boat outside BC or if you know of boats from eastern Canada or the US, make sure it is washed extensively. To learn more, visit www. bcinvasives.ca.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Tension is high. You have the ability to embrace a change, or you might choose to stage a major power play. Others find you to be full of surprises. The smart move is to allow them to express their views while saying nothing.

Tonight: Start the weekend early!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Today’s emphasis is on your dayto-day life and on indulging in more rewarding moments. Even if you are working, make time for more interpersonal experiences.

Ask for what you desire when the moment is appropriate. Don’t miss out on an opportunity. Tonight: Stay present.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be a wild thing, and tamper with your schedule. How you handle a personal matter could take an interesting turn. Be more forthright and direct; others will respond in kind. Allow your sense of humor to come out quickly, as it will help you relax. Tonight: In the game of life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel as if you must balance different forces that seem contradictory. Attempt to change your mindset; instead of looking at the differences, look at what they have in common.

Ask more questions, and be more aware. Tonight: You don’t need to go too far.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might need to get in sync with others. A situation could be challenging at first, but you will meet the demand with ease. Unexpected developments around legal matters are likely to have unexpected results. Loosen up, and get on top of a personal matter. Tonight: Hang out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) One-on-one relating takes you down an interesting path, where you are likely to interact with unpredictable associates. Someone you meet today might not be who he or she claims to be.

Get to know this person more completely before making any commitments. Tonight: Be nice.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your understanding of what

Tundra

someone wants from you could be different from what you originally had anticipated. Honor what is occurring, and be authentic about your thoughts and feelings. A meeting provokes interesting conversations. Tonight: Be impulsive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Honor a need for fast changes between a close friend and someone whom you have put on a pedestal. Juggling these different perspectives could be problematic. Make sure that you express your caring in a way that can be heard. Tonight: Not to be found.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be more direct and caring in the words you choose and the actions you take. You could see a situation develop where someone, maybe even you, will opt to use money for control and power. Think twice before you jump into such shenanigans. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are on top of your game and unlikely to allow any interference at the present moment.

The problem is that others might start challenging you now more than ever. Perhaps another choice is possible. Reach out to a friend for feedback. Tonight: Take a stand once and for all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to rethink a personal matter and gain greater understanding. By distancing yourself and empathizing with those involved, you will get a sense of the true dynamics involved. Once you do this, you are likely to find a solution. Tonight: Listen to favorite music.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) To make your point and have the greatest impact, you would be well-advised to relate on a oneon-one level with others. Honor a change of pace. Observe what is happening between you and a loved one. Make plenty of time for this person. Tonight: Dinner for two.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for nine years. When we were dating, we had the best conversations. He would remember events that happened in my life and would follow up with questions later. He talked about things going on in his life and would include me in the conversation, asking my opinion.

After we married, he has either stopped listening to what I say or doesn’t really care anymore. He constantly asks me the same questions over and over, and can’t seem to remember the answers I give him. Yet he can quote you chapter and verse about any celebrity -- where they went to school, who they married, who their children are -- as though they are his best friends.

I’ve asked him how he can remember all of that trivia, but can’t remember things I tell him that touch our lives. He said that he found celebrities interesting. I guess that means our lives are not important enough to matter.

I don’t know what to make of this and sometimes feel as though I’ve been duped. Where is the guy I dated? How do I not take this personally? -- What Happened?

Dear What: You are not alone. This type of spouse-deafness happens in many marriages. While you were dating, your husband paid more attention to your conversation partly because he was still trying to woo you, and partly because your life was separate from his. You were his “celebrity.” Now the conversations likely revolve around more mundane matters.

Please don’t take this too personally. It’s irritating, but common, and isn’t worth getting upset over. Discuss unimportant things with your family or girlfriends. Wait until your husband expresses an interest before offering information. You cannot force him to be more attentive, but do ask him to set aside 15 minutes a day for the two of you to look into each other’s eyes and listen to whatever the other person says. (And if you have any celebrity news, add it to your report on the car repairs.)

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Sickened and Frustrated” whose family member and her spouse constantly blow their noses and clear their throats at family gatherings in restaurants.

I would like to know why the majority of well-mannered people are not entitled to tell the nauseatingly stubborn and selfish couple to please stay home? Why are people so afraid of offending the offenders who couldn’t care less? They need to learn they are not compatible with dining out.

Your suggestion to remake the social occasion without food sounds like political correctness. -- Not So Accommodating Dear Not So: It has nothing to do with “political correctness.” Most people include family members at family gatherings, so if dining out with them is the problem, it is simple enough to remedy. But if no one will tell them that their behavior needs refinement, or if they refuse to stop nauseating everyone else, your suggestion to not invite them is one possible solution.

Obituaries Vidamour, Robert Douglas â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corkyâ&#x20AC;?

October 4, 1931 June 15, 2015

With sad hearts we would like to announce the passing of our Father, Robert Vidamour, better known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Corkyâ&#x20AC;? on June 15, 2015, at the age of 83.

Dad was born in Bull River on October 4, 1931 Helen Watson and Reginald Vidamour. He married the love of his life, Margaret Barnhardt, from Wycliffe in 1953 and they remained in the Cranbrook area where they raised their three children.

He worked hard in the logging industry, owning and operating small mills for some of that time. If hard work equalled money, Dad would have been a millionaire 10 times over.

When Dad retired he spent a lot of time researching his family history and as a result he found family in Guernsey C.I. and was united with his half-sister Deirdre Cousineau and her family in Quebec. In 1997, Robert and Margaret travelled to Guernsey, to meet his distant relatives and discover his roots. Dad was so happy to have found and be welcomed into this previously unknown part of his past.

He loved playing cards, especially cribbage and was famous at the Seniors Hall for his (one in 216,580) 29 hand!

Robert was predeceased by his wife of 59 years, (Margaret), his daughter Janine, two half-brothers Doug and Harold Howg and his half sister Deidre Cousineau. He will be fondly remembered by his children, Chuck, Jeanette (Ken), Mark (Avis), and his grandchildren, Jevin, Lucas, Colin (Giselle), Alexandra, Justin and Brett his cousin Ruth Drescher, Tom Vidamour and his many nieces, nephews and friends.

A gathering to celebrate his life will be held at the family home. 2053, Jim Smith Lake Road, Cranbrook on July 4, 2015 at 2pm.

Memorial donations may be made in Roberts memory to The F.W. Green Home, 1700 4th St S, Cranbrook BC V1C 6E1 Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com

Google’s ‘undo’ feature may be godsend for Gmail users who regret hitting ‘send’ SHERYL UBELACKER Canadian Press

It might be called “send regret,” that panic that sets in after firing off an email or text that you suddenly realize was inappropriate, addressed to the wrong person, or just plain wrong.

Google is trying to save Gmail users from their own misguided missives by granting them a window of sober second thought.

Gmail users can now add the “undo send” feature to their accounts and give themselves up to 30 seconds

GOLF

to recall an ill-conceived email. “‘Undo’ has saved my bacon professionally and personally more than once,” Google Canada spokesman Aaron Brindle enthused Wednesday.

“I’ve been known to press send a little too quickly.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as fixing a typo or making sure you’re not replying-all, which can be awkward.”

The feature has been available to beta-testers of Gmail since 2009 and proved so popular that Google de-

cided to roll it out this week for all its 900 million-plus users worldwide. It has also been an option for users of “Inbox,” an enhanced Gmail application.

“I think everybody is kind of vulnerable to this,” Brindle said of fretting after a fast-fingered click on the send button.

“Anything we can do to alleviate those sudden moments of panic when you’re using one of our products is a good thing.”

Aimee Morrison, an English professor who special-

izes in new media studies at the University of Waterloo, said other email providers will likely have to follow Google’s lead and add the undo feature to their programs.

Users will demand it, she predicted.

“I think we’ve all had that experience of clicking send, then repenting the decision,” said Morrison, recalling how an acquaintance once sent a business email intending to sign off with “Best regards.”

The sender accidentally typed a “t” instead of a “g” in regards, but realized the mis-

take too late.

“There’s nothing you can do, it’s gone. It’s like dropping it into the mailbox on the corner and hearing the lid slam.”

Brindle said activating Gmail’s undo-send feature is simple.

- In the web-based version of Gmail, tap on the “settings” icon that looks like a gear.

- Select “settings” from the drop-down menu.

- Under the “general” settings tab, click on “enable undo send.” Users can

choose a delay of five, 10, 20 or 30 seconds before a message is sent out and cannot be retracted.

- Click the “save changes” button at the bottom of the page.

“For me personally, I’m a 30-seconds guy,” said Brindle. “I need to reflect on it sometimes. Five seconds can be a little bit tight.”

Once “send” is pressed on an email, a yellow bar appears at the top of the screen, saying the message has been sent and offering the option to undo that transmission.

AUTOMOTION Goodfellas’ Cadillacs Are Hot Collectibles RO B SA S S

It’s well known that men of a certain age have an insatiable appetite for Martin Scorsese films.

Few films lend themselves to repeated viewings like the modern classics Goodfellas and Casino. As Gen-Xers (who make up much of the fanbase of 1990s Scorsese films) start to come into some real disposable income, a good number of them seem to have been inspired to collect the cars of their favorite unsavory screen characters – guys with names like Ace Rothstein, Nicky Santoro, Paul Cicero and Johnny Roastbeef.

Call it the “Goodfellas Effect” if you want, but

the Hagerty Price Guide shows the values of 1970s Cadillacs to be up 25 per cent in just the last three months. Here are four favorites: 1967 Eldorado The 1967 Eldorado was the second shoe that GM dropped after the magnificent 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado.

Another big GM frontwheel-drive car with fantastic styling, many of its styling cues — particularly the knifeedged rear end treatment — still show up on today’s Cadillacs. Not surprisingly, ’67 Eldos are particularly menacing in black. Although Robert De Niro’s “Casino” character Sam “Ace” Rothstein was fond of

newer Eldos, several of the gorgeous older cars show up in the background of the film.

1971-78 Eldorado The 1967-70 Eldo was a paragon of Bill Mitchell good taste.

Let’s just say that the 1971-78 Eldo was a bit more Superfly than Don Draper. Still, with its massive 500-cubic-inch V-8, this was a car with more presence than Big Paul Castellano.

They’re all over the film “Casino,” as they were in real life in 1970s Vegas. It’s hard not to start humming Tony Bennett’s “Rags to Riches” when you see one.

1971-76 DeVille

At a tick over 19 feet long, the 1971-76 DeVille was one of the largest cars of the decade in exterior dimensions and the largest in terms of interior volume. Trunk size was off the charts — just the thing for “The Simpsons’” resident goodfella “Fat Tony” (voiced by the great Joe Mantegna) to transport his suspiciously body bag-shaped “yard trimmings.” The full-size DeVille was available with an equally massive 500-cubic-inch Cadillac V-8 (incidentally, that’s 0.6 cubic inches for each time the f-bomb was dropped in “Goodfellas”). Not surprisingly, many of these cars were assembled in North Jersey at the Linden Cadil-

Cadillac Eldorado convertible lac assembly plant, a stone’s throw from Fort Lee, where part of “Goodfellas” was filmed.

1977-86 DeVille While the DeVille was significantly downsized for 1977, it lost none of its swagger and appeal. The initial en-

gine offered still displaced 425 cubic inches and somewhat amusingly, the “yard trimming” capacity went up when the trunk size actually increased.

A Coupe de Ville (hot pink with a white vinyl top) led to the demise of Johnny Roastbeef and

his wife in “Goodfellas” when Johnny ignored Robert De Niro character Jimmy Conway’s direction not to do anything flashy with the Lufthansa heist money.

Vancouver regulates medical marijuana dispensaries C A NA D IAN PRES S

VANCOUVER - The City of Vancouver has become the first in Canada to regulate illegal marijuana dispensaries, despite strong warnings from the federal government.

In a eight to three vote, councillors approved imposing a $30,000 licensing fee, requiring stores to be located 300 metres from schools, community centres and each other, and banning shops from certain areas.

But in an unexpected move,

council voted to create a two-tiered licensing system, allowing nonprofit compassion clubs to pay a fee of just $1,000.

The city also made changes to its proposed points system that was meant to help weed out bad pot shops that are connected to gang activity or sell to kids.

Under the new regulations, stores that are not compassion clubs will receive 10 demerit points immediately, as a way to promote the non-profit model.

The decision comes after four

OFFER ENDS JUNE 28.

days of public hearings that drew numerous speakers, many of whom complained about a proposed ban on edible products such as brownies and cookies.

But the city held firm on that part of the plan, deciding that the treats appeal to children, that it’s difficult to control their contents and patients can buy marijuana oil to make their own edibles.

Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose had warned the city and police that over-the-counter sales of marijuana is illegal in Canada

20

and she expects them to uphold the law.

But the city has blamed the federal government’s restrictive medical marijuana laws for the rise of pot dispensaries in Vancouver from 20 to 94 over the last three years.

City manager Penny Ballem has said the goal of regulation is to reduce exposure to youth and protect public health, while ensuring access for those who need medical marijuana.

Under the new regulations, dis-

pensaries must apply for a licence and face a review that would rank them based on factors including the number of complaints and police incidents.

Where two nearby shops have the same ranking, a lottery would decide which one gets to stay.

Many dispensaries will be forced to move, including all those located in the troubled Downtown Eastside and Granville Street neighbourhoods as well as those located on Pender Street.

How to handle weed growth

Are You Planning a Home Renovation or Addition?

Here’s How You Apply for a Building Permit.

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

What Is A Building Permit?

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

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

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

Why is a Building Permit Required?

A Building Permit is required in order that public health and safety is protected in the construction of a building project. Applications must include: • a completed building permit application form including an owner’s authorization form (if the applicant is not the building owner) – other forms may be required depending upon the nature and location of your application (For example: an Erosion and sediment control permit, a development and/or development variance permit) • 2 complete sets of scaled construction drawings comprised of: • a site plan showing the following: the street location and dimensions of the property proposed for development; the location of both existing and proposed buildings with distances from property lines to the foundation of structures indicated; area of both existing and proposed buildings as well as vehicular access to the site; • floor plans showing the size and proposed use of each room; • a detailed foundation plan • elevations showing full views of front, rear and sides of building including additions as well as finishing details; • cross section showing construction details; Once a Building Permit is issued construction should begin within six (6) months from the date of issuance. A Building Permit becomes invalid after twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance and your request for on-site inspection must be made the building inspector at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance.

It sounds like a lot of steps, but remember we are here to help you with your project by providing information, application forms and to answer any questions you may have.

Please visit our website at www.cranbrook.ca and visit the Engineering & Development Services page or contact the office at (250) 4890207 or by email at Catherine.Ernst@cranbrook.ca.

H

omeowners who take pride in their lawns and gardens know just how problematic weeds can be. Weeds can make otherwise well-manicured and thriving lawns and gardens appear unhealthy and ill-kempt.

But homeowners don’t have to sit back and accept weeds as an inevitable byproduct of warm weather. The following are a handful of ways homeowners can handle weed growth so all their hard work is not masked by unwelcome weeds. · Pull weeds after watering. It might seem odd to water weeds, but watering weeds can actually make it easier to pull them out so they never return. When you pull weeds from soggy soil, you can more easily pull weeds’ entire root system from the ground. That means you aren’t just pulling the stems and leaves, but the entire weed from the ground. · Lay mulch. Mulch can benefit a garden in many ways, not the least of which is helping to prevent the growth of weeds.

Mulch prevents sunlight from reaching weed seeds, helping to prevent the growth of weeds before they even appear to cause you headaches. In addition, mulch helps soil retain moisture, which

benefits plants as summer temperatures rise. · Lay landscape fabric. Homeowners who want to do more than mulch can lay landscape fabric in their gardens as well. Landscape fabric will work in much the same way as mulch, blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds and therefore preventing the weed seeds from germinating.

When laying landscape fabric, simply cut holes in the fabric where the plants will be, lay the fabric down and then cover the fabric with mulch. · Plant strategically. How you plant also can help defeat weeds before they ever appear. Speak with your landscaper or a local lawn and garden professional before planting, asking if it’s possible to plant particular plants close together to prevent weed growth. Plants that are planted in close proximity to one another will block sunlight from reaching the soil, which will make it more difficult for weed seeds to germinate.

Weeds are a formidable and unwelcome foe to homeowners who take pride in their lawns and gardens. But there are several ways to combat existing weed infestations and prevent their return in the future.

How to fend off a fruit fly invasion

GARDENING POINTERS FOR NOVICES

areas where unrefrigerated fruits and vegetables are stored, near garbage cans and recycling bins.”

Once you identify potential breeding grounds, activate the apple-shaped trap by pulling the leaf-like lid from its base and pouring the liquid lure into the vapor chamber. Keep the lid open while the trap is in use, and you should notice a significant decrease in the number of fruit flies within a few days.

Fruit Fly traps can help homeowners eliminate potentially problematic fruit fly infestations in a matter of days.

omeowners who have dealt with insect infestations know that even the smallest critters can make for formidable foes. A single insect might not seem like a substantial problem, but such uninvited guests have a tendency to multiply, quickly becoming a problem for less proactive homeowners.

• Keep a clean home. Clean homes, and tidy kitchens in particular, are less likely to be overcome with fruit fly infestations. After cooking meals, be sure to clean all surfaces with which food has come in contact. Clean any spilled drinks, since sweet and sticky beverages like soda and wine lure fruit flies.

It’s also important to keep cleaning materials, such as mops and drains, clean, since fruit flies can continue to breed in soiled mops and dirty drains.

People have many reasons for growing gardens, and some of the most popular gardens are plots designated for cultivating herbs and vegetables. Fresh produce at the ready is a great benefit of having a home garden, which also allows homeowners to exercise full control over which products to use to grow robust, healthy vegetables.

Novice gardeners may not know where to begin when it comes to planting their first vegetable gardens, and such gardeners can benefit by starting small. You may want to begin by growing plants in containers so they are more manageable and can be moved as you discover which areas of your property provide the best growing conditions.

Begin with one or two types of vegetables. Tomatoes, cucumbers and certain squashes are popular starter plants, as they are relatively hardy. Select only a few plants so you are not overwhelmed with the level of care required to maintain your garden.

Some gardeners prefer to start plants from seeds, but this will require more time and a greater commitment with regard to maintenance and planting. When just starting out, experiment with small plants that are established and already have a good root system.

Consult with your local gardening center for more suggestions, such as which soil amendments to use. Plants may require a certain soil pH that can be adjusted for optimal plant growth.

Such is the case with fruit flies. Though small in stature, fruit flies can prove a pesky, food-contaminating nuisance. As their name implies, fruit flies are attracted to ripening fruits, which serve as a food source and a breeding ground. Fruit flies also breed around garbage disposals, drains and garbage cans while facilitating the transmission of bacteria that can prove harmful to human health.

Fortunately, homeowners can employ a combination of strategies to fend off fruit fly infestations Though small in stature, fruit flies can prove before they take root. harmful to human health, spreading bacteria while also serving as a pesky nuisance.

In addition, place ripened fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator during these times of year.

• Trap flies before they can breed and multiply.

Fermenting fruit or moist organic debris is necessary to complete the fruit fly life cycle.

TERRO® Fruit Fly Traps, which last 30 days, employ a non-toxic, food-based liquid lure to attract and trap fruit flies. Once inside, fruit flies cannot escape, eliminating their chance to breed and multiply. Before placing traps, pay attention to where fruit flies tend to be most problematic and place the apple-shaped traps in those areas.

“The key to successful elimination of fruit flies is to locate their breeding source and place the TERRO® Fruit Fly Trap nearby,” says TERRO® Director of Research Stew Clark. “Look for fruit fly sources in

Reap the benefits of a well-insulated home

BY SCOTT MCGILLIVRAY

M

any of us know that insulation plays a key role in keeping our homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. But did you know the benefits can go well beyond achieving basic R-value requirements?

Quality insulation can provide a number of added benefits that contributes to the comfort, safety and efficiency of a home, including: Sound absorbency - Life is loud, but the right choice of insulation can help reduce noise transfer throughout your home. Insulating between floors and

A safe indoor environment - Good indoor air quality goes a long way toward ensuring personal comfort.

Choosing insulation that is water repellant and resistant to mold, mildew, fungi, bacterial growth and rot can help to prevent common issues behind your walls that may pose serious health and safety concerns and lead to costly repairs. Look to products that will not off-gas or emit harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

But when it comes to quality, comfort, safety and efficiency, is basic really the best choice?

Quality counts when it comes to all building materials. Always look for products that will deliver benefits well beyond the status quo.

Ultimately, you can purchase insulation as many do, based on basic R-values.
