Grass fire spreads quickly C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Kimberley Fire Department members responded quickly to a grass fire on Jim Ogilvie Way on Wednesday evening, and extinguished it quickly, but there is reason for concern, says Assistant Fire Chief Rick Prasad.

The fire was located between the Volksmarch Trail on the ridge across from the old fertilizer plant and the Rails 2 Trails, which is several metres

lower.

The fire department arrived to find heavy smoke and ground fire moving quickly due to wind conditions. 12 firefighters with 4 fire apparatus worked to extinguish the fire after it burned approximately to 900 square meters.

“Someone called it in when it was just wisps of smoke,” Prasad said. “But in the ten minutes it took us to get there, it had grown to 900 metres.

That’s how fast it was moving.”

Grass fire spread quickly

From Page 1 Prasad says That’s a surprisingly fast rate of spread and an indication of how dry conditions are.

He expects conditions to remain hazardous.

“We are getting some rain this week but you need prolonged precipitation and cooler temperatures to change conditions.”

Even though the area where the fire started is covered in green grass,

Prasad says that can be deceiving.

“There’s a fairly deep layer of flammable duff underneath the green grass — pine needles, dead vegetation. You see green grass, you think no problem, but underneath it’s very dry.”

At this point there is no indication what started the fire, although natural causes have been ruled out. But Prasad hopes it wasn’t someone carelessly

tossing a cigarette.

“As we go into summer it is very important that we all demonstrate extreme caution with cigarettes and other potential ignition sources.

Every fire starts small, and with conditions the way they are, a small fire could easily get out of hand in short order.”

If you have any information on what may have caused this fire, please call the Kimberley Fire Department at 250-427-4114.

Goats grazing again Barry Coulter

For a second year in a row, a most effective weapon is being deployed in the ongoing battle against invasive plants.

The goats of Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control out Kamloops are returning to the Cranbrook-Kimberley area, in particular designated lands of the ‘Aq’am (St. Mary’s) Band,to help restore grasslands by grazing on invasive sulphur cinquefoil and knapweed.

Conrad and Donna Lindblom, who run Rocky Ridge and its herd of goats, are just finishing up a pilot project with the City of Chilliwack, in which 30 goats were loosed to chow down on Japanese Knotweed, a hideously invasive plant that’s almost impossible to get rid of once it takes hold.

“That was the first time my goats have ever been into a patch of Japanese knotweed,” Conrad Lindblom said. “And they did a very good job of it.

“It will take more than one year [to get rid of it entirely].

From what I’ve I’ve read from other countries, it will take about three years of really good grazing to get rid of it.”

The Lindbloms will be bringing a herd of about 350 goats to the East Kootenay, to cover the same area as last

Conrad Lindblom (pictured in the far distance on horseback) follows his herd of goats down a backroad on Aq’am (St. Mary’s Band) lands in July, 2015. The goats of Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control are returning to the area to resume the fight against invasive weeds, and to help restore native grasslands. year, plus a little extra.

Lindblom said last year’s contract was a very successful outing. “But again, there’s still a lot of seed in the ground, so

we’re going to have to do some maintenance on it. You can’t get it all in just one year.”

See Page 5

We live in a world that’s unpredictable and without warning we may have to make quick decisions that impact 0the health and safety of our loved ones. It’s easy to assume that we’ll be able to gather what we need when something unexpected happens.

But few of us really know what will make the difference.

Imagine that a wild fire begins to threaten your neighborhood in the middle of the night.

You may have to leave quickly or wait until local authorities tell you where and when it’s safe to go. In either situation, you want to be able to take care of your family for at least 72 hours.

Having a well-stocked, portable, and easy-tofind emergency kit ensures that you have the basic supplies to keep you and your family safe.

In an emergency, basic services we use every day may not work.

For example, your water, electricity, gas and telephone service may not work and it may be impossible to access cash from a bank. When these services are not available, an emergency kit can provide the basic necessities.

For example, we all need water. The rule of thumb is two litres, per person, per day – for 72 hours, or three days. It’s a good idea to use small bottles that can be car-

ried easily.

And of course, we also need food. Because your kit needs to be ready at all times, use food that won’t spoil, like canned goods, energy bars or dried food that can be stored longer. If needed, baby formula and pet food may be a good idea. And remember a manual can opener to open those cans.)

So now your kit has a good start: food and water. What else? Well, it’s dark and there’s no electricity. A flashlight and radio will be handy to show you where you’re going and help you stay informed.

These both need power, so pack extra batteries.

Even better yet, buy the type that can be powered manually with a crank. Cordless home phones don’t work when there’s no electricity. Consider including a phone with a cord too.

Of course, an emergency kit wouldn’t be complete without a first-aid kit with the basics like bandages, antiseptics and pain relievers. With these items, food and water, flashlight and radio, and a first-aid kit, we’ve covered the basics. But there are some items that may not be so obvious. For example, it may be very difficult to get prescription medications in an emergency or even long afterward.

Including enough medication for a couple of the weeks in the kit will help. While you’re

thinking about medical needs, consider what equipment may be needed to accommodate family members with special needs.

As we mentioned, it may be difficult to get cash from banks so include small bills and change, as cash registers may not work.

Lastly, keeping important documents like copies of birth certificates, wills, passports and insurance policies in your kit can make it easier to stay organized during an emergency.

Remember to include a copy of your emergency plan, and contact information for friends and family who may be able to help. We all hope that emergencies don’t occur and your kit goes unused but that’s no reason to delay. It’s your responsibility to start gathering supplies and start thinking about what your family will need for at least 72 hours in an emergency.

It may look like a lot to do but you can print an emergency list checklist. And the next time you’re running errands, pick up a few items for your kit or, buy a pre-packaged one.

Having an emergency kit is an easy way to have more peace of mind in an unpredictable world.

One would expect that with the daily coverage of the devastating fires in Fort McMurray there would be an overwhelming sensitivity to fire prevention in every community. Not so in Kimberley unfortunately. The Lois Creek trails have been the party place of choice for a group of young people

who have been gathering frequently in a heavily wooded area below the bank along from Lindsay Park School to make a firepit, socialize and have a few drinks.

Residents above the bank have expressed their concerns that if the fire got out of control, houses would definitely be threatened. That isn’t the only concern.

Gus Krigsman came from Sweden in 1920 to Nelson, B.C., where he started working in the woods, where he has continued ever since.

He went to Lumberton in 1923 and was employed there until 1941 when he moved to St. Mary’s Lake, 15 miles west of Marysville, to continue employment in the bush. He got a trap line on St. Mary’s Lake and started in his spare time, to trap chiefly beaver, mink, martin, lynx and wolverine. He gained quite a reputation as a trapper and bear hunter.

In 1953 he shot a grizzly that ranked twelfth in world records at that time. In the spring of 1954 another bear made its appearance around St. Mary’s Lake country. It prowled at night and was never seen during the day. Tales were told of the bear breaking into cabins leaving large tracks. Each spring from about April 15 it would start making its appearance around St. Mary’s Lake and local hunters would start hunting it until the end of the bear season.

It seems that a lot of people thought that this bear was a fable in the district. The Press reported Vic Swanson of Cranbrook making many a trip to the lake in the past three years just to try to get this bear. One hunter came from Vancouver to try his hand last year, as well as the local hunters. Quite often visitors and camera fans went to the lake to try and see and get a photograph of this monster.

Every once in a while reports would appear from Gray Creek to Marysville about his breaking into cabins, leaving big tracks and damage.

In the spring of 1957 Gus Krigsman noticed a beaver disappearing by large tracks, so he knew the bear was out.

It seems a little tender beaver is just the thing for him, fresh out of hibernation, because they can eat very little for several days. It is a case of smell being larger than appetite.

At three a.m., Gus was awakened from a sound sleep by a strange noise. He jumped up from his bed, went to the door and looked out. There was the bear, standing 10 feet away, trying to get into his wood shed where his beaver traps were. He went back to get a flashlight and rifle. When he opened the door again the bear was still trying to get into the shed. Gus placed his foot against the door to hold it open, braced himself firmly, holding the flashlight with his left hand and rifle in the right hand. He fired only one shot and the bear took off around the shed. Gus did not realize that he had hit behind the shoulder at the time, mortally wounding him. Thinking the bear had left for the hills he went back to sleep. In the daylight he went to see just what had happened and found that the bear had been hit and had just gone around the shed into the bush a short ways, where he found him, dead. It was a male grizzly, brownish colour, about 10 years old, and would go about 725 pounds in its prime.

He got help to load the bear into his truck and drove to Cranbrook, making a present of it to Vic Swanson, who had always wanted one for a rug.

It will be 60 days before the skull can be measured for Boone and Crockett Club records and should come within the top 10.

Several bear hunters from Kimberley have said it was a brave act to shoot a bear like that.

However – a note to amateur bear hunters – this is not recommended as a safe practice for a beginner.

Thus ends a true bear story that will take its rightful place with other famous bear stories of the East Kootenays.

Clovechok running again Lois Creek Trails update From Page 1 It’s time to get elected, he said.

“I’ve been working really hard on the executive of the BC Liberal Party, though I’ve stepped down since I officially became a candidate. I learned how the process works and I believe I’m a stronger candidate. I spent a lot of time listening to constituents throughout the riding.

“You’re not going to see me being as combative, not that I won’t drop gloves if I need to but I think listening and collaboration are key. I’ve found that even if someone doesn’t have the same ideology or political perspective, it doesn’t me we can’t work together.”

One of the key points of Clovechoks campaign in 2013 was that with a riding as large as Columbia River Revelstoke, there needed to be advisory committees in the four major centres of Revelstoke, Golden, Columbia Alley and Kimberley.

He will run on that again.

“These advisory boards will help the MLA work on key projects and hopefully hold the MLA’s feet to the fire. The board doesn’t need to be all B.C. Liberals, maybe someone who supports the Green Party or NDP wants to sit on it. I want to bring all four groups together at least yearly

KEY ISSUES Each riding has its own issues and Columbia River Revelstoke is no different. Of particular importance to Clovechok is child care — the lack of spaces, and lack of child care workers.

“It needs to be addressed. When people move here, the question is, is there child care. For professional people, if they can’t find child care, they don’t come.”

Also issues Clovechok wants to tackle are logging and other activities in water sheds, and predator control, ALR issues and more.

“There are lots of local issues,” he said.

“I’m going to be really busy.” to talk as a riding about what we can do together.”

Clovechok says it’s all about accountability.

“You are hiring me to do a job, to be accountable and show measurable results.

There haven’t been a lot of measurable results in Columbia River Revelstoke, and it’s a fair question to an MKA, what have I done to earn it?

“Norm Macdonald has been an opposition MLA for 12 years, I have respect for his contribution, but what’s his legacy. It’s all about putting rubber on the road and I haven’t seen a lot of tire tracks in Columbia River Revelstoke.

“I’m ready and excited about our chances.”

Clovechok says that running a sec-

ond time means his name is recognized in this riding and he plans to be very active.

“We’re going to be knocking on a lot of doors this summer, I will be MCing a number of events. Here in Kimberley, I am co-MC at Lobsterfest, I’ll be at the opening celebration for Cherry Creek Park, and the JulyFest parade.”

He believes his support in Kimberley is far greater than it was four years ago.

“Last time we had lots of committed volunteers but it wasn’t enough. We have more volunteers right now in Kimberley than I could have imagined four years ago. Kimberley is one of our key battleground, I believe we are going to do well.”

Goats grazing again at ‘Aq’am From Page 3 The Lindbloms lead the goats along with saddle horses and dogs, but once they have the grazing pattern established after two or three days, the goats remember where to go. This is a technique the Lindbloms have developed over 17 years in the business.

And while the goats only eat invasive species in the grasslands, it is not all they eat. They will graze for about five or six hours a day on the

invasive diet, then the Lindbloms will bring them in and allow them to eat other things to keep their diet mixed.

Conrad Lidblom said Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control is open for more contracts in the Cranbrook-Kimberley area. “We’ve been very successful here in Kamloops.”

Anyone interested can call 780380-3061 or by email at lindblomdonna@gmail.com

From Page 4 Broken bottles and cans have been tossed in the creek, the bridge across the creek was used for firewood and a sizeable amount of bark was stripped from a tree alongside the firepit. This blatant disregard for the natural environment is of great concern to the Friends of Lois Creek.

Volunteers have dismantled the firepit and cleaned up the area on four occasions but party time seems to have precedent for the young people involved who take it upon themselves to rebuild the firepit.

Thankfully the Fire Chief, when made aware of the problem, visited the partying group and made them well aware of the potential fire hazard. He also followed up by visiting the school and addressing the student body about his concerns and stressing the need for responsible behaviour. Students need to be aware that arson is a punishable

offence and would not serve them well in future decisions as dictated by a law-abiding society.

On the positive side of the use of the Lois Creek trails, a proposal is being put forward for a frisbee golf course. The activity makes use of trees, creeks, tall grass, ponds and many other obstacles around and between which a frisbee is thrown at “golf hole” targets and scored in a similar way to conventional golf. It has become a popular sport in more than 40 countries around the world and the ultimate Canadian event is the Canadian Open Frisbee Championships.

Another worthwhile activity will be organized by a mountain bike group called the Shred Sisters who will be conducting women’s mountain bike clinics during the summer months on the Lois Creek trails.

Information on dates and times will be forthcoming.

Trail users have

been unanimous in praise of the clearing and thinning that took place during last summer and fall. Some of the trails were becoming choked and less accessible with overgrowth. Funding from the Columbia Basin Trust allowed the Friends of Lois Creek to hire Dennis Heigh

A GOOD PLACE TO BE. Local Government Awareness Week May 15th - 21st – Local governments play a key role in providing citizens, businesses, and communities with the essential services they need to prosper and thrive. Safe drinking water, wastewater management, streets, sidewalks, libraries, land-use planning, fire and police protection, recreation and parks are just some of the important benefits that B.C.’s local governments help support in order to foster strong, successful communities. A few interesting quick facts about local governments are: • There are 189 local governments in British Columbia, including 162 municipalities and 27 incorporated regional districts.

• The Community Charter (Bill 14, 2003) is the first local government legislation in Canada to establish a full set of principles for municipal-provincial relations.

• Under the Community Charter and the Local Government Act, local governments have broad authority to provide any service that their respective council or board considers necessary or desirable, including water, sewer, garbage disposal, recreation, child care, and economic development.

• The Local Government Act provides a legal framework and foundation for local governments. It provides local governments with powers, duties and functions - and with the flexibility to respond to the diverse needs and changing circumstances of their communities.

Be Bear Smart – Please remember that the bears are coming out and they are hungry! The biggest attractant for bears in our community is garbage. 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.

Thank you – The Public Works and Operations & Environment Services Departments, would like to say thank you to everyone that shared in the Public Works Day and the Tours of Mark Creek Dam.

and Kathrynne Crysler who did an excellent job of brushwork and clearing.

To find out more about what is planned for the Lois Creek trails members of the public are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday May 26th at 7:30pm at Centre 64.

EYE ON YOUR CITY Sewer Problems – When flushing the toilet, draining the sink, or running a washing machine and water enters your home through your basement drain, this indicates a blockage in the sewer service line to the home and you should contact a plumber. A video of the line should be taken if the plumber suspects the problem is with the City’s main line. While the City of Kimberley strives to clean and inspect all sewer main lines regularly, it is still possible for a sewer main to plug up and allow water and sewage to flow into the dwellings it serves. To avoid this unfortunate situation, we recommend that all households install a backflow preventer device on their sewer line to prevent any damage to your residence.

The Sewer Connection Bylaw No. 2415 reads, “Each owner shall be solely responsible for the installation of the sewer line, backflow preventer and the maintenance of both the sewer line and the service pipe.” To view the bylaw please visit our website at http://kimberley.ca/city/bylaws#bylaws.

For more information please call the Operations & Environment Services Department at 250.427.9660 or operations@kimberley.ca Victoria Day Weekend Closure – City Hall and the Public Works Yard will be closed on Monday, May 23rd. Have a great long weekend!

Syria: The Russians were right

“T

he Russians had a more realistic analysis of the situation than practically anybody else,” said Lakhdar Brahimi, the former United Nations Special Envoy to Syria. “Everyone should have listened to the Russians a little bit more than they did.”

Brahimi was referring to the Russian offer in 2012 to end the growing civil war in Syria by forcing the country’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, to leave power. The Russian proposal went before the UN Security Council, but the United States, Britain and France were so convinced that Assad was about to fall anyway that they turned it down. Why let the Russians take the credit?

So Assad is still in power, several hundred thousand more Syrians have died, and millions more have fled. But Brahimi’s comments are still relevant, because the Russians are still right.

Finally, very reluctantly, the United States is coming around to the long-standing Russian position that the secular Baathist regime in Syria must survive, as part of some compromise peace deal that everybody except the Islamist extremists will accept (although nobody will love it).

Such a deal back in 2012 would have involved the departure from power of Bashar al-Assad himself, and it could still do so today. He’s mostly just a figurehead anyway.

He was living in England, studying to be an optometrist, until the death of his elder brother made him the inevitable heir to the presidency that his father, Hafez al-Assad, had held for thirty years.

It’s the Baathist regime’s secular character that makes it so important. Its leadership is certainly dominated by the Alawite (Shia) minority, but it has much broader popular support because all Syria’s non-Muslim minorities, Christian and Druze, see it as their only protection from Islamist extremists.

Many Sunni Muslims, especially in the cities, see it the same way. They also see it as the one Arab government in the region that has always defied Israel.

The deal that the Russians could have delivered in 2012 would have ditched Bashar al-Assad but left the Baathist regime in place, while compelling it to broaden its base, dilute Alawite influence, and stop torturing and murdering its opponents. An over-confident West rejected that deal, while its local “allies”, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, gave weapons and money to the Islamist rebels Gwynne who aimed to replace the Baathists with a Sunni MusDyer lim theocracy Fast forward to 2015, and by mid-summer the Islamist forces, mainly Islamic State and al-Qaeda, control more than a third of Syria’s territory. The exhausted Syrian army is retreating every time it is attacked (Palmyra, Idlib, etc.), and it’s clear to Moscow that all of Syria will fall to the Islamists unless Russia intervenes militarily.

So it does.

When the Russian air force started attacking the Syrian rebels on 30 September last year, Western propaganda went into high gear to condemn it. Russian President Vladimir Putin “doesn’t distinguish between ISIL (Islamic State) and a moderate Sunni opposition that wants to see Mr Assad go,” said US president Barack Obama. “From (the Russian perspective) they’re all terrorists – and that’s a recipe for disaster.”

All America’s sidekicks said the same thing. “These (Russian) military actions constitute a further escalation and will only fuel more radicalisation and extremism,” said France, Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the US and Britain in a joint statement on 2 October.

The Russians simply ignored the Western propaganda and went on bombing until they had stopped the Islamist advances and

stabilised the front. Then they proposed a ceasefire.

The brutal truth is that there is no “moderate Sunni opposition” in Syria any more.

Almost all of the remaining “moderate” groups have been forced into alliances with al-Qaeda’s local franchise, the Nusra Front, and the deal that the Russians might have brokered in 2012 is no longer available. The ceasefire they proposed in late 2015 deliberately left the Islamist groups out – and the United States (better late than never) went along with it.

That ceasefire has now been in effect for more than three months, and although there are many violations it has significantly lowered the level of violence in Syria. In the longer term, the Russians might be able to produce sufficient changes in the Baathist regime (including Assad’s departure) that some of the non-Islamist fighting groups might break their alliances with al-Qaeda and accept an amnesty from Damascus.

Maybe even the Islamist-controlled areas can be re-conquered eventually. Or maybe not: it’s a bit late for a peace settlement that preserves Syria’s territorial integrity. But at least the US State Department has finally abandoned the fantasy of a “moderate” rebel force that could defeat both the regime and the Islamist rebels in Syria, and instead is going along with the Russian strategy.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has wisely given US Secretary of State John Kerry equal billing in the ceasefire initiative, and there has been no crowing in Moscow about the Americans finally seeing the light.

Great states never admit mistakes, so there will be no apology from Washington for all the anti-Russian propaganda of the past year. But it is enough that the US government has actually changed its tune, and that there is a little bit of hope for Syria.

OPINION/EVENTS

A THEOLOGY OF LAMENT

P

When God is unfaithful

ete Enns is a professor of Biblical Studies at Eastern University in Pennsylvania. He is the author of several books, including the recently released “The Sin of Certainty: Why God Desires our Trust more than our ‘Correct’ Beliefs”.

In this well–written and often humorous book, Enns claims that faith is more about trusting God in the midst of difficulty and sorrow than it is about knowing the right doctrines or having correct beliefs. For Enns, skepticism is not a loss of faith and doubt is not an enemy of faith. Rather, they provide opportunities to deepen our trust in God. Enns tells stories from his own life to provide examples of how trusting God can bring us through those difficult times. He talks compellingly about his own dark night of the soul; it was precisely in the darkness that he discerned an intimacy and closeness with God which he had not known before.

This book models an acceptance of mystery and paradox which helps to deepen our faith so that we become more mature disciples and followers who truly trust God. I recommend the book highly.

I am also a follower of Pete Enns’ blog at www.peteenns.com. A recent post struck a chord for me. He notes that about half of the Psalms in our Old Testament include some sort of lament which give God an earful about how terrible life can be sometimes.

The Psalmist complains to God that “Life sucks! Life is not fair!” In some of the laments, the Psalmist even goes so far as to complain that God has broken his promise to be faithful.

Enns continues, “Like Psalm 44. Here we find Israel is in some national crisis. The people expected God to show up and help, but God didn’t. The psalmist mentions how

they have always put their trust in God, but now God has ‘rejected us and abased us’; ‘you have made us like sheep for slaughter’; ‘you have sold your people for a trifle’; ‘you have made us a taunt…a byword…a laughingstock’ “Thanks a lot. All this has happened, even though ‘we have not forgotten you, or been false to your covenant.’ So, God, here’s an idea: ‘Rouse yourself! Why do you sleep, O Lord. Awake, do not cast us off forever.’

“Translation: ‘God, you’re asleep at the switch, it’s your fault, don’t even try to blame this on us.’”

Enns goes on to talk about Rev. Yme another example of a powerWoensdregt ful lament, Psalm 89. This psalm goes even further in accusing God. The Psalmist begins by reminding God of his promise to stick by his promise to David to maintain an unbroken legacy of kings in Israel, and that God would never violate that promise, because God does not lie. Right? Well, of course right!

What kind of God would lie?

But then the psalmist accuses God of doing exactly that. The Israelites are now in exile in Babylon: there is no king; there is no throne; the land has been taken away from the people, and so the psalmist points out the obvious: “You have renounced your covenant…defiled his [David’s] crown….

Lord, where is your steadfast love of old, which by your faithfulness you swore to David?”

Then Enns asks, “OK, so what’s my point?

“Is God actually at the end of the day unfaithful? No, I don’t believe so.

“Did the Israelites sometimes experience God as unfaithful to them and accuse God of being unfaithful? You betcha. They took their grief and anger and stuck it in

God’s face.”

It seems to me that we’ve largely lost this sense of being in that kind of honest and intimate relationship with God. We walk on eggshells when we approach God. We talk nice to God, because we’ve been taught that that’s how you talk to God. Or we give up on God altogether. If we can’t be honest with God, then what’s the point of being in a relationship like that?

Enns continues, “Did God strike them down with plagues, famine, or thunderbolts for daring to oppose his sovereign wisdom and might? No. “And that’s in the Bible.”

We can learn from this. Let me go back to Brueggemann again, who once commented that “Churches should be the most honest place in town, not the happiest place in town.”

Enns concludes, “Maybe we have lost the ‘art of lament,’ where complaining to God is part of the deal. Maybe, rather than playing church and make–believe, a vital dimension of the spiritual journey is giving God an earful now and then. Maybe God can handle it. Maybe God likes it, because it means we are being real and not fake.

Maybe if you’re angry with God now and then, you’re normal. Maybe that’s part of being the people of God.” I love this stuff, because it’s part of a real, raw, and vital relationship with God. People who are in love with each other argue with each other. They dare to be honest with each other. As they do so, the relationship grows and becomes stronger and more healthy.

The same thing applies to our relationship with God. Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook

Trudeau’s elbows fierce a-flyin’

ustin Trudeau is in hot water with me.

“I witnessed as [Trudeau] strode across Not so much because of the elbow the floor with an anger fierce, in his face and heard round the world, but because I eyes, towards a group of individuals. What already had my column completely done took place was the prime minister physically and now I have to rewrite it. And it was an grabbing people, elbowing people, hauling interesting column involving baby bison them down the way,” he told CBC News.

Luckily there were a few clearer accounts, theft. C’mon Justin!

By now you will be familiar with the facts coming from opposite ends of the political spectrum. Elizabeth May of the case. Prime Minister of the Green Party said Trudeau crossed the floor, Trudeau’s actions were approaching Opposition unwise in his attempt to Whip Gord Brown. He move Brown along but that grabbed the MP’s elbow, Carolyn his elbowing of Brosseau later claiming he was trying Grant was, from her perspective, to move the MP to his seat unintentional. and hurry up the vote.

And current Opposition Then in the ensuing fracas, Trudeau was heard to swear, Leader Rona Ambrose said that Trudeau harkening back to his father’s famous “demonstrated a complete lack of respect “Fuddle-duddle” incident. And in the for members of the House of Commons, midst of this, the Prime Minister’s elbow and for Parliament.”

Which he most certainly did. brushed against the chest of MP Ruth Ellen And in a couple of regrettable minutes, Brosseau. You can definitely see in the video that Brosseau was bumped. Subsequent to he undid all the goodwill he has built up. that Trudeau gets into it with NDP Leader Sunny ways? Not any more.

The Prime Minister apologized. Then Tom Mulcair.

But here’s where the hyperbole gets he apologized again. He will likely still be apologizing while you’re reading this turned up to 1,000.

Brosseau claims that the incident so column. And if you are, hey, thanks.

But you can’t put the boxer back in the upset her that she had to leave the House (perhaps to retire to a fainting couch) and bottle. Justin Trudeau crossed the floor and missed the vote. Mulcair accuses Trudeau touched another MP and was not in a good of elbowing a woman in the chest, making mood while doing so. Luckily, it didn’t result in a Taiwan parliament style free for all, but it sound quite deliberate.

Conservative MP Peter Van Loan said it yikes.

Politics, having become so much more was an “extraordinary example of physical partisan in recent years, means tempers intimidation.”

flare more often. Just ask MLAs Norm Macdonald and Bill Bennett, who, after a heated exchange in the BC Legislature this past March, where f-bombs were dropped, later had to be physically separated in the hallway outside.

Now this.

We are perhaps guilty of expecting too much from our elected officials. Nobody is perfect, yet we jump on every tiny thing they do. But we at least should be able to expect them to refrain from actions that would not be allowed in an elementary school. A little restraint, that’s all we’re asking.

Ironically, the vote which was taking place was a compassionate one, the physician assisted dying bill.

And now for the bison. Apparently in Yellowstone last weekend, a baby bison was put in a tourist’s car. These tourists in Yellowstone put the baby bison in their vehicle because, “It looked cold”. This does beg a number of questions, such as: 1) what were they planning on doing with the bison once it was warmed up? and, 2) can you house train a bison?

These questions will not be answered because park officials noticed the bison in the back of the SUV and made them give it back. Park rangers, always spoiling the fun.

Am I right, Yogi?

They should assign a few of those park rangers to the House of Commons.

The Arizona State University (ASU) Sun Devils, featuring Kimberley product Jared du Toit, claimed the 2016 NCAA New Mexico Regional championship by 12 strokes over Texas Christian University (TCU) at the par-72, 7,562-yard University of New Mexico Champions Course Wednesday afternoon.

With a team score of 12-over par (876) over 54 holes of play, the Sun Devils easily burned by TCU, which finished a distant second at 24over par (888).

Helping the Sun Devils claim the seventh regional championship in program history was du Toit, who nailed down his first top-five finish of the season, coming into the clubhouse at four-over par (220). Sitting atop the individual leaderboard was du Toit’s Sun Devils teammate Jon Rahm, who won his second consecutive regional championship, finishing four-under par and five strokes ahead of second-place Sean Crocker (Southern California, plus-one).

“It definitely feels good,” said du Toit, the top-ranked amateur golfer in Canada and

listed at 85th in the world, over the phone from Albuquerque Wednesday afternoon.

“You never really know.

Just one golf tournament decides your post-season, so it’s good to get it out of the way and finish on top.

“I never really took myself out of position too often. When I did, most of the time I hit a good shot to recover and made quite a few putts over the week, which is nice. I did a good job of keeping it in play.”

With the tournament crown, du Toit and the Sun Devils booked a ticket to the NCAA National Championship (May 27 to June 1) at Eugene Country Club in Oregon.

The low five teams and low individual not from one of those teams at the NCAA New Mexico Regional tournament all advanced to the national championship.

ASU and TCU will be joined by Southern California (third, plus-31), South Florida (fourth, plus-35) and San Diego State (fifth, plus-40).

The UNM Champions Course proved a less-than-friendly host over 54 holes as Rahm — the top-ranked amateur in the World Amateur Golf Rankings — was the lone competitor to finish the tournament below par.

“Conditions were tough,” du Toit said. “Day two was really windy, really gusty and the greens got progressively firmer and faster as the week went on. A couple of the rounds, you thought if the conditions were tough they’d make the pins a little easier, but round two especially, they didn’t really do that.

Scores were definitely higher that day and even [in round three] scores were fairly high.”

Du Toit fired rounds of 72, 73 and 75 over the course of the week, remaining relatively consistent from start to finish.

His final tour on the UNM Champions Course got off to a rough start Wednesday. After knocking down a birdie on the 544-yard, par-five first hole, the Kimberley native went on to collect

five bogeys through the front nine, falling outside the top-five. He then clawed his way back into a tie for fifth by draining a pair of birdies — one on the 402-yard, par-four 12th and another on the 377-yard, par-four 17th — to finish the tournament at four-over.

The 2016 season has been one of monumental proportion for du Toit — his first go around with the Sun Devils after transferring from the University of Idaho and the Vandals golf program at the conclusion of the 2015 campaign.

“It’s been an awesome year & I can’t express how awesome the guys have been to each other... We seem to be peaking at the right time.”

Jared du Toit Sun Devils Golf Du Toit was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team, recognition of his success on the links, with the teams being voted upon by Pac-12 Conference head golf coaches.

“As a golfer and even not as a golfer, I’ve learned so much this year,” du Toit said. “It’s been an awesome year and I can’t express how awesome the guys have been to each other. We really do a good job of blending together. All of us come from completely different places, completely different backgrounds and we mesh together as one. We’re all really good friends.

“My goal was to be first team and I finished off kind of poorly at the Pac-12 Conference Championship and missed [the first team] by one or two spots. It’s just one of those things that you try not to worry

about.

“It definitely is very cool to be recognized within the conference.”

The former Selkirk Secondary School student racked up four top10 finishes during his first season of Pac-12 competition, including at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational (T-8), Amer Ari Invitational (T-10), Prestige at PGA West (seventh) and Lamkin Grips SD Classic (eighth).

With the win, ASU has struck for seven regional titles in its history (1991, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2009, 2016). Rahm was the individual regional winner at the 2015 NCAA San Diego Regional, which he followed up by winning the 2016 Pac-12 crown and now the 2016 NCAA New Mexico Regional.

“It’s been really cool, [Rahm] obviously does a lot of things really well,” du Toit said of playing alongside the globe’s top-ranked amateur golfer. “All of us try to learn off each other.

We’ve got a good group and we all kind of learn from each other and try to gain off each other’s strengths.

“We have a lot of fun together and we seem to be peaking at the right time, which is awesome.

Hopefully we can keep it going into nationals.”

The Sun Devils have won two NCAA National Championships, the most recent coming 20 years ago in 1996. The first was in 1991. The program has also produced six individual NCAA champions, including Jim Carter (1983), Phil Mickelson (1989, 1990, 1992), Todd Demsey (1993) and Alejandro Canizares (2003).

“This will be my first national championship and from what I’ve heard, it’s a marathon, not a sprint,” du Toit said. “You’ve just got to keep yourselves in it.

“We’re so fired up for nationals. It’s been a big goal. Regionals, nothing is really given to you. It’s a huge weight off our back getting through regionals and even nicer that we won it. We’re all really excited to get to nationals and show the people what we can do.”

Memorial Cup

Former Ice captain Luke Philp ready for last ride Memorial Cup chase begins for Philp, Rebels as Canadian Hockey League converges on Red Deer Friday night

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

When the Kootenay Ice traded captain Luke Philp to the Red Deer Rebels in a pre-trade deadline blockbuster back in January, the veteran centre took solace in the fact he was going to get the opportunity to compete for a Memorial Cup championship.

Nearly five months later, the 20-year-old Philp and the Rebels prepare to host the nation as Memorial Cup competition opens Friday from the Enmax Centrium in Red Deer.

While the Rebels didn’t take the path they had hoped for, they’re in the mix to compete for Canada’s national major junior championship, with the first test coming against Mitch Marner and the London Knights — champions of the Ontario Hockey League — Friday (6 p.m.

Mountain).

“It was disappointing getting knocked out of playoffs, but we’ve worked hard in practice these last couple weeks and we’re really excited for the tournament now,” Philp, a native of Canmore, Alta., said Wednesday afternoon over the phone from Red Deer.

“It’s always easier when you’re playing every other day, but we’ve worked hard in the gym, we’ve worked hard in practice and we’ve game-like drills and game-like situations in practice, so we’ll be ready for the tournament.”

After dispatching the Calgary Hitmen in a fivegame, first-round series, the Rebels skated past the Regina Pats in a seven-game slug fest during the second round. Red Deer’s pursuit of the Ed Chynoweth Cup came to a crashing halt during the WHL’s Eastern Conference final, as the eventual league-champion Brandon Wheat Kings cruised to a 4-1 series triumph.

“We know that they’re the champions of the leagues they play in, so we certainly have our hands full here,” said Brent Sutter, head coach and general manager of the Rebels, at a pre-tournament coaches’ media conference Wednesday night. “To

be quite honest, we’re sitting up here as the loser right now. We’re excited for the challenge. We feel we have a good team and we feel we can compete.”

With that in mind, the Rebels haven’t played a game since falling in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference championship back on April 29, but Philp isn’t worried.

“When you make mistakes against good teams, the best teams make you pay for them... We have to really limit mistakes & play pretty sound hockey.”

Luke Philp Red Deer Rebels The Wheat Kings, of course, went on to defeat the Seattle Thunderbirds to claim the WHL championship and gain a berth into the Memorial Cup championship, so Philp and the Rebels will get a shot at redemption when they face Brandon (Wednesday, May 25 at 6 p.m.)

“We made too many mistakes against Brandon,” Philp said. “When you make mistakes against good teams, the best teams make you pay for them. Especially in a tournament format like this, we have to really limit mistakes and play pretty sound hockey.”

Limiting mistakes will certainly be a key to success if Philp and the Rebels hope to upset the respective champions from across the country.

Featuring WHL Playoff MVP Nolan Patrick (13-17-30), Florida Panthers prospect Jayce Hawryluk (7-23-30), New Jersey Devils firstround pick John Quenneville (16-11-27) and 2015 WHL scoring champion Tim McGauley (8-18-26), the Wheat Kings pack plenty of punch, that’s nothing new to Philp.

The Knights boast Marner — a high-flying prospect of the Toronto Maple Leafs (2015, fourth overall) — who lit up the OHL post-season with 16 goals and 44 points in only 18 games.

Following closely behind are Matthew Tkachuk (20-20-40) — a topranked prospect heading into the 2016 NHL Entry Draft — and Christian Dvorak (14-21-35) — a highly-touted prospect of the Arizona Coyotes.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League-champion Rouyn-Noranda Huskies aren’t short on high-end talent, either. Francis Perron, a 2014 seventh-round selection of the Ottawa Senators, led the QMJHL in post-season scoring with 12 goals and 33 points in 18 games. Next down the charts comes 2015 San Jose Sharks first-round pick Timo Meier (11-1223) and 2015 Colorado Avalanche second-round pick A.J. Greer (12-10-22).

“We know that [the Knights and Huskies] are both highly-skilled teams,” Philp said.

“They can both score a lot of goals and they’re both really dangerous off the rush. We’ve got to be ready for that and we’ll prepare for that the next couple days and we’ll be ready to go.

“We have to play smart hockey. We’ve got to chip pucks in when we’re at the blue lines.

We’ve got to win one-onone battles. We’ve got to be getting pucks out of our zone in key situations, blocking shots. But I think limiting turnovers and making things as hard as possible on these other three teams [will be key].”

The opportunity to play on the national stage has been a longtime coming for the overage forward. A 247game career with the Ice brought with it 28 post-season games, but nothing beyond the second round of the WHL post-season.

Now, after 17 regular-season games and 17 WHL playoff games with Red Deer, the Rebels’ captain will finally get the chance to play for the Memorial Cup to close out his junior hockey career.

“I’m excited for it,

Philp and the Rebels went on to be ousted by the eventual WHL-champion Brandon Wheat Kings in the Eastern Conference final. Now, the Rebels prepare to host the nation as the 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup officially opened Thursday in Red Deer. Philp and the Rebels hit the ice Friday to open the tournament as they take on the OHL-champion London Knights (6 p.m. Mountain, Rogers Sportsnet). but you can’t get overexcited for it,” Philp said.

“It’s one of the toughest tournaments to win. I think controlled excitement is going to help you play your best out there. You don’t want to be overexcited out there because sometimes you tend to try to do too much, or run out of position. It’s obviously really exciting because it’s a big tournament, it’s a big stage. We’ve been preparing for this all year, but you’ve got to control your emotions out there.”

The 2016 MasterCard Memorial Cup marks the 98th edition of Canada’s annual major junior championship.

The trophy was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup, donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March 1919, in remembrance of the many soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice for Canada during the First World War. The Memorial Cup was rededicated in 2010 to the memory of all fallen Canadian military personnel.

The Oshawa Generals won the 2015 Memorial Cup championship, hosted by Quebec City.

The OHL’s Windsor Spitfires will host the 2017 MasterCard Memorial Cup.

Project Heavy Duty Tre vor Cr awley

Local elementary and high school students got some exposure to operating heavy equipment over a two-day event spearheaded by the school district, College of the Rockies, City of Cranbrook and WorkSafe B.C. With the support of the local business community, heavy equipment such as excavators, bobcats and graders were donated for use at a Cranbrook public works yard, where a few dozen high school students got the chance to get behind the controls.

Brian Conrad, the Regional Transition Coordinator within the Student and Enrolment Services department, said Project Heavy Duty is a chance for students to get up close and personal with the machines and to learn how to be safe around them.

“Project Heavy Duty only works because of an extraordinary partnership between public and private organizations—

Mount Baker Secondary School, College of the Rockies, WorkSafe BC, and the City of Cranbrook,” said Conrad.

“Without any one of those four partners, this would be impossible to pull off.

“The other key ingredient is the very generous contributions that local industries and business make in lending the equipment and operators, who are training the kids, for two whole days. It’s an extraordinarily generous offering that makes this possible.”

There are two goals and outcomes that Conrad hopes to achieve for Project Heavy Duty, in regards to the high school students who get the opportunity to work on the equipment, added Conrad.

“One, is to generate a culture of safety in youth, so when they get into the workforce, safety is embedded in their practices and thinking,” he said.

“The other is that they

learn, through this experience, a better work ethic, not only in terms of being on time, but better listening skills, ability to ask questions about how to operate things before they make any mistakes and developing a sense of hustle and positive attitude towards work.”

Conrad wishes to acknowledge the following businesses and organizations for their support of Project Heavy Duty: Hummel Contracting Ltd, Okanagan Audio Solutions, Lightburn Contracting Ltd, Fiorentino Bros Contracting Ltd, Mainroad East Kootenay Contracting, Remcan Projects Ltd, Teck, Finning, Great West Equipment, Sandor Rental Equipment Ltd, WorkSafe BC, City of Cranbrook, SMS Equipment, College of the Rockies, BWC, Inland Kenworth Parker Pacific, SD5, BC Hydro, FR Rentals, and Kootenay Communications Ltd.

CRANBROOK/KIMBERLEY RELAY FOR LIFE

Beginning of a new era The Cranbrook/Kimberley Annual Relay For Life is just around the corner, on June 4, at Rotary Park.

“The Force Will Be Strong” as Relay participants, survivors, friends, family and the community gathers for a Star Wars themed Relay not soon to be forgotten!

The Canadian Cancer Society invites everyone in the community to come out and support this six-hour family-friendly event that raises funds for life saving cancer research, prevention initiatives and supports those on a cancer journey and their families as they fight the disease.

Why attend on June 4? It’s the beginning of a new era, and you don’t want to miss out.

“I’m extremely proud of the success of Relay For Life and the generosity of the communities over the 17 years that this event has been happening in Cranbrook and Kimberley,” says Jenn Smith, Annual Giving Coordinator.

“Relay For Life has done so much to support the mission of the Canadian Cancer Society and help people in our community. It has really brought the community together in so many ways, and we are grateful to our volunteers, supporters, and donors both past and present.

“They say all good things must come to an end however, and with that sentiment in mind, we are looking to bring new and fresh events to the community.

“This year will mark the final Relay For Life in Cranbrook, we want the entire community to come down to the park and help us go out with a bang!”

Relay may only be a few weeks away — but it’s not too late to register your team and take part.

Staff and volunteer organizers have many tips, tools and resources that can help you do some last minute fundraising to increase your impact in this final Relay.

If you don’t wish to register a team, we still want you to come down to Rotary Park, help us celebrate, and witness the magic that is Relay one last time!

Volunteers at work teaching English to refugees cently at Key City Theatre, provides some insight into refugee lives.

The film is the project of two young filmmakers who spent a month living in a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, and it is a powerful motivator to take action. The resilience and courage of the refugees is apparent, but in many cases they can-

not rebuild their lives without help.

One of the more startling facts to come out of the presentation was that the average length of time spent as a refugee is 17 years. Through the generosity and hard work of the residents of Cranbrook and surrounding communities, we hope to shorten that

period of time for as many families as possible. Several groups of volunteers have either welcomed a refugee family or are preparing for their arrival.

Now we ask you to consider what it would be like to arrive in Cranbrook as a refugee. Everything would be different and strange com-

looking after you from the inside out.

Training that could help save a life Making the Kootenay Boundary region safer with Community Gatekeeper suicide prevention training

Suicide is a topic not many feel comfortable talking about. Yet, each year over 500 people in B.C. die by suicide.

Although suicide is a leading cause of death for youth aged 15-24, the impact of suicide is greater among older people.

Learning how to talk about suicide is one of the ways to help prevent it.

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) For the Townsman

is bringing the Community Gatekeeper program to the Kootenay Boundary region.

Community Gatekeepers are people in a community who have been trained to recognize when someone could be at risk of suicide, talk with them, help them keep safe, and connect them to community supports and resources.

“Community Gatekeeper training offers simple,

“Much like first aid, having the knowledge, skills and confidence to help someone at risk can be the difference between life and death.”

Community Gatekeeper training follows curriculum that increases knowledge,

skill and willingness to intervene, and helps educe the risk of suicide. Over 100,000 people in 30 countries attend similar training each year.

Across BC, CMHA will train 20,000 Community Gatekeepers over the next three years.

“Our goal is to make the Kootenay Boundary region safer places to live,” says Whalen. “Community Gatekeepers are in the unique position

Stuck on hot: Earth breaks 12th straight monthly heat record Se th Borenstein Associated Press

Earth’s heat is stuck on high.

Federal scientists said the globe shattered monthly heat records for an unprecedented 12th straight month as April smashed the old record by half a degree.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said

Earth’s average temperature in April was 56.7 degrees (13.7 degrees Celsius). That’s 2 degrees (1. 1 degrees Celsius) warmer than the 20th century average and well past the old record set in 2010.

The first four months of 2016 were 2.05 degrees (1.14 degrees Celsius) higher than the 20th

century average and beat last year’s record by 0.54 degrees (0.3 degrees Celsius).

NOAA climate scientist Ahira Sanchez-Lugo predicted that 2016 will end up the hottest year on record, for the third straight year.

Scientists blame global warming and El Nino.

For the Townsman

Sunday May 15, a total of 16 Air Cadets from 552 Key City Cranbook & 904 Kootenai Creston Squadrons participated in the first “Lord Strathcona Trust Fund” Orienteering Competition in the Kootenay Region, supported by Department of National Defense. The Kootenay Orienteering Club hosted this competitive event and it was open to the public, Kootenay Cadet Corps and Squadrons. With a finish less than 15 minutes between the two, 904 Kootenay Squadron took home the Gold Medals and Trophy.

Orienteering is an internationally recognized sport, which has steadily been growing in popularity in this region. The Sport of Orienteering combines navigational skills and fitness traversing diverse and unfamiliar terrain to locate “controls” using a topographical map (1:5,000 to 1:15,000 scale). Participants walk, jog, run, or bike around the course locating the “controls”, using strategy as they go.

Moyie Lake Provincial Park receiving new playground, other improvements Courtesy Dave Paulson

CRANBROOK – Day-use facilities at Moyie Lake Provincial Park are receiving upgrades worth $440,000, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett announced today.

The park, 22 km southwest of Cranbrook, will have a new playground and refurbished shower building when the projects are completed in October 2016.

The shower building will have new fixtures, tiling, paint, stalls, roof and mechanical components.

“These upgrades will make Moyie Lake much more enjoyable for everyone who visits the park,” Bennett said.

“B.C. has one of the largest park systems in the world and our government is committed to keeping our park properties and facilities in topnotch condition.”

British Columbia has the highest

percentage of its land base dedicated to protected areas of all provincial Canadian jurisdictions.

Over the past five years, BC Parks has invested about $60 million in park facilities, delivering projects directed at attracting young families, offering new recreation opportunities and increasing attendance. In 2015 alone, more than $13 million was invested into facility and capital projects in parks across B.C. B.C.’s provincial parks receive more than 21 million visits each year.

Since 2001, more than 2.3 million hectares of land have been added to the province’s protected areas system through the establishment of 84 new parks, 156 conservancies, two ecological reserves, 14 protected areas and the expansion of more than 80 parks, six ecological reserves and three protected areas.

Slow Down, Move Over: Help Keep Our Roadside and Emergency Workers Safe Roadside maintenance workers and emergency staff are out all year round and it is important for drivers to be aware of their presence, slow down and move over to give them the space they need to be safe.

The City of Cranbrook has many staff members, especially from Public Works, working on our streets year round and not just in the warmer months. This isn’t limited to just Public Works staff but also Fire Services, RCMP and Ambulance staff, other emergency workers and tow truck operators.

When driving through the City and you see vehicles with flashing red, blue or yellow lights, please be aware that workers are present. Reduce your speed and allow extra space when passing the vehicles or accident scene, where it is safe to do so.

Commitment: One meeting every three months, two year term.

Those interested please email kwilson@kimberley.ca by June 4, 2016 with questions and or your expression of interest.

If you have an RV, camper, boat or trailer you are asked to please find another place to park them when not in use, other than a City street. That is the message from Bylaw Services with the City of Cranbrook.

City Bylaw Services staff field numerous complaints on a regular basis every spring and summer relating to

trailers blocking driveways and using limited on street parking for long periods of time.

The bylaw prohibits parking recreational vehicles and trailers on residential streets between the hours of 10 am and 3 pm and prohibits parking unattached trailers on any street at any time, unless in an emergency situation. The bylaw applies to travel trail-

ers, tent trailers, utility trailers, campers and motor homes as well as boats and boats on trailers. The intent of the regulation is to keep City streets safe and accessible for vehicular and pedestrian use.

To review a complete copy of the Streets and Traffic Bylaw 3021, 1991, please visit the City’s website at www. cranbrook.ca.

To protect your equipment from damage during the outage, please turn off all lights, electrical heaters, major appliances and unplug all electronics. We’ll restore power as soon as we can.

No campfire restrictions are in place as B.C. approaches the traditional start of the outdoor recreation season, but a rash of early-season human-caused forest fires has prompted a warning from the B.C. government to take care in the woods.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson says a new advertising campaign begins this week on TV and social media to remind people about increased fines in effect

for violating fire restrictions.

The fine for failing to comply with fire restrictions is increased from $345 to $1,150. A new penalty of failing to comply with a stopwork order made because of fire risk will carry a maximum penalty of $100,000 and one year in prison.

While small campfires have not yet been restricted, open fire bans are in effect for the Coastal, Kamloops and Cariboo fire protection regions, covering much

of the province. Open fires are defined as waste or slash larger than one half metre square, with smaller fires considered campfires under the regulations.

“This is the time to prune and pile, but not to burn,” Thomson said, and enforcement officers will be out on patrol starting on the Victoria Day long weekend.

Open fire bans also apply to burning barrels and fireworks because of the potential to scatter sparks.

The Cranbrook Food Bank needs your help.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your ideas resonate with others who feel as if you come from an authentic point of view.

The problem seems to be that you are very idealistic at this point. Consider the conditions and must-dos. Will your concepts still succeed? Tonight: Let conversations drift into other topics.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be quite wayward and determined to have a situation work out the way you want it to. Remain sensitive to a partner who wants to have matters play out the way that he or she would like them to. Open up to some fun ideas. Tonight: Head to bed early once more.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone might reveal his or her true agenda. Be sure you want what is heading down the path before making any commitments. On the other hand, you could be upset because you need to make a choice. Recog-

nize a bum deal. Tonight: Add a romantic touch to plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be wondering what must happen next. Demonstrate your ability to get past a problem and succeed. You will feel far more relaxed than you have in a while. Start a discussion to understand where a family member is coming from.

Tonight: Entertain from home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You seem to choose the right words at the right time. Investigate possibilities more openly than you have in the past. You might feel as if you must act on an important conversation or schedule a meeting. Continue to open up to new ideas. Tonight: Hang out with loved ones.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll want to restrain yourself from overspending or getting uptight about a money matter.

You might need to simplify your thinking and recognize when you are out of your league. Remain connected to the basics.

Tonight: Be nice with a loved one.

Baby Blues

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’ll remain full of fun, and obligations will flow easily from one area of your life to the next.

Tension could build if you become too reflective. Remember what you want, then decide when it would be best to make it a reality. Tonight: Slip into weekend mode.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have been focused and direct. Understand your limits in the social whirlwind that is about to take off. You might question your need to have a routine and follow it as exactly as you can. You are full of energy; invite several friends to join you. Tonight: As you like it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will want to reconsider a decision that seems to be hindering you in some way. You might not be prepared to discuss this matter. Therefore, you could have difficulty making a decision, as it is your inclination to let the issue resolve itself. Tonight: Ever playful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on your priorities, espe-

cially revolving around timing, events and getting together with friends. Expect to be overly busy, and you won’t be surprised. You like all the activity, but at the same time you find it to be distracting. Tonight: Your pals want to celebrate TGIF. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might feel exposed or as if you have a must appearance that you simply cannot avoid.

Stop the flow of any negative thoughts, and you will discover the power of positive thinking.

You could even enjoy something that you hadn’t thought you would. Tonight: Be playful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Reach out to a loved one at a distance who often confuses situations rather than helps them.

As a result, you won’t want to share too much of what is going on. In fact, letting the cat out of the bag could trigger a difficult situation. Tonight: Use your imagination.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Dear Annie: I’ve been living with my boyfriend for nine years and we have a son together. Over the 14 years that we’ve known each other, we’ve had our share of problems, but it’s gotten worse in the last couple of years.

Two months ago, “John” totally changed, and I found out he was being unfaithful. Of course, he denies it, but I have proof. I want to leave him, but I really have nowhere to go.

So I’m just stuck here while he continues to see the other woman.

I hate being made a fool. Please tell me what you think I should do? -- Miserable and Cheated On Dear Miserable: You are not “stuck,” but you do have some difficult choices to make. The first decision is whether you are better off with John or without him. You have a son together, which means John is responsible for child support. Please discuss this with a professional who can help you sort through your issues and do what is best for you and your son. Ask John to come with you, but if he isn’t interested, go without him. Free and low-cost counseling is available through local churches, graduate school counseling departments, medical school psychology departments, United Way, the YMCA and the Department of Children and Family Services.

Dear Annie: I’d like to give some advice to brides-to-be. These words of wisdom come from a middle-aged woman with 30 years of marriage under her belt: 1. He will not change for you. If he grew up in a dirty house, chances are he is not a neat guy. If he’s nasty to you, he will continue to be.

2. If he views porn, at some point in your marriage, it will be a problem. People who view porn will defend it, and it will not be good for you or your marriage.

3. If he likes to go out drinking with his buddies, be prepared to raise your kids alone and wait by the phone for him to call.

He might lie about where he was and he may even start fights as an excuse to leave the house.

4. My husband went from his mother’s couch to my apartment. His father believed that housework, laundry and cooking were women’s work and my husband was the same. If he believes his job is to go to work, come home and be waited on, well, my dear, that will be your life.

5. If he is addicted to his smartphone, no amount of pleading will change that.

6. Once you have children, he will not suddenly be a helpful, kind father. If he was helpful and kind before, he will probably remain that way. If not, you will cry many tears.

7. Discuss handling the finances before you say “I do.” My husband made more money than me, and always considered it to be “his money.”

Please ladies, do yourself a favor and heed your inner voice. It will not fail you. I wish I had paid attention to the red flags. -- Married and Lonely in Connecticut Dear Married: Thank you for the advice - most of which is a variation on your first caveat, which is that he will not change because you marry him. All women should understand that.

MBSS gets $270,000 to fix HVAC B.C.’s school ‘fix-it fund’ grows for election year TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Mount Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook will be getting $270,117 to replace its heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, the Province of B.C. announced Thursday.

The funding is part of 80 projects of the B.C. government’s school “fix-it fund.” In the East Kootenay, Golden Secondary School was the other recipient, getting- $688,295 for roofing lifecycle replacement.

The government’s fix-it fund has grown from $20 million last year to $45 million.

Education Minister Mike Bernier announced a $40 million fund when he called for submissions from B.C.’s 60 school districts in March. To be eligible, repairs to school roofs, windows, heating, electrical and plumbing have to be completed by the end of March 2017, when the next B.C. election campaign is getting underway.

Bernier said the fix-it fund is over and above the annual facilities grant provided to school districts for repairs. He confirmed that the additional funds are from within the current three-year ministry budget, shifted to the current fiscal year.

The fix-it fund is also in addition to the province’s carbon tax fund, financed by school and hospital districts to fund upgrades to heating boilers, windows and other energy efficiency projects.

“They’re ones that normally school districts would have a harder time with their annual facilities grants,” Bernier said.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming said the program used to be called the routine maintenance fund.

“This is for deferred maintenance of neglected schools around the province,” Fleming said. “There’s probably hundreds of millions of dollars of deferred maintenance, so even at this rate it would take decades to get on top of that.”

Fleming said he was expecting new school construction funding for growing areas such as Sooke and Surrey, or assistance to keep schools from closing in communities such as Osoyoos.

For a complete list of the projects, see this story posted at www.cranbrooktownsman.com.

Take precautions in bear country this long weekend L au r a B a z i u k Black Press

Conservation officials in B.C. are warning people who go out in bear country to take precautions, following two attacks in the last week.

On May 13, a mushroom picker was attacked by a bear in Puntzi Lake, about 185 kilometres west of Williams Lake. His right leg was injured, and

the bear followed him back to his car before going to look for food at a nearby campsite.

“This was a predatory attack,” said Chris Doyle with the BC Conservation Officer Service. “It’s a good reminder for people who are hiking or working in bear country to carry bear spray.”

On May 17, a jogger and his dog had to fight off a black bear while

on a trail near the University of Northern B.C. campus in Prince George. The bear had been defending her two cubs.

With the May long weekend approaching, Doyle reminded the public to ensure food and garbage are not accessible to bears at campsites.

People should also not stop to photograph or feed bears they see

while driving.

A grizzly bear with three cubs charged a car recently in the Skeena region, Doyle said, and a black bear had to be euthanized after it collided with a minivan, also in the Skeena.

A YouTube video that surfaced of a driver stopping to feed a bear in Tofino is still being investigated, he added.
