Cenotaph project fundraising underway New sign to bring awareness to project C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

As many Kimberley residents are aware, Council has committed the land where Bavarian Esso stood to a new Veterans Memorial Park, complete with a new location for the cenotaph.

This week, Council approved the erection of a sign announcing the project, to raise awareness and help with fundraising.

The project originates with the veterans’ support group Military Ames, and group facilitator Cindy Postnikoff says a federal grant for $25,000 has been written.

“The grant has been applied for and all indications are we will get it,” PHOTO SUBMITTED she said. “The city will Some of the veterans from Military Ames camaraderie group stand proud with the sign that is kick starting the new cenotaph and park plan for downtown match that number.”

Flume project ends with $293,713 added to budget From Page 1 This means the financials for the second phase of the flume project can now be put to bed. At the regular meeting of Council on Tuesday evening, Council approved that the budget for phase 2 be increased by $293,713 to be funded from the General Fund Operating Capital Reserve.

Of that $293,000, the biggest portion is the $250,000 to Copcan.

“Copcan was claiming $560,000 in extra charges,” said Mayor Don McCormick. “Most of that had to do with delays around the lower portion of phase 2 as a result of design issues.

That amounted to about six weeks time. So, we went to arbitration and at the end agreed to settle for $250,000.”

Copcan had first submitted a request for $187,000 in compensation last November, but that grew to $560,000, McCormick says.

“It was $187,000 back in November but the clock just kept on ticking until substantial completion in mid-January. At the end of January, the amount was $560,000. We disagreed with that, clearly. So we chose to get a referee.

He came back with the recommendation that if this were to go to court we would reasonably be responsible for $280,000, all related to design issues. So Copcan and the city agreed on $250,000.”

This brings the final cost of phase 2 to $3,732,895, $457,402 (13.96 per cent) over the original phase 2 project budget of $3,275,493.

However, Council amended the original phase 2 budget in the 2015 capital budget, so this $293,713 technically represents an overrun of 8.54 per cent.

City staff had already prepared for a ruling that would see the city paying something to Copcan, so money from

operating savings was set aside.

“Just because we are over budget does not mean there will be a tax increase,” said Coun. Albert Hoglund.

McCormick said that Council will be reporting back on all overages involved in the project.

The first stage went some $2 million over budget and was a contentious issue in the 2014 municipal election.

“I think the main thing is don’t start till all your marbles are in a row,” Hoglund said.

“Previous Council voted on going ahead without funding in place.”

“That probably is the single biggest thing,” McCormick said. “We are planning an official ceremony in the fall.

Notwithstanding all the issues, the project is truly outstanding. We have an amazing amenity that has been created and we will celebrate that.”

Walk a mile in someone’s shoes campaign For the Bulletin

When Molly Miller became aware that millions of children do not own a pair of shoes, she started to research this global struggle and began thinking about ways that she could make a difference. Molly’s vision to start a local fundraiser to outfit children in need came to fruition when she approached local business owner Celeste Needham who owns and operates Talaria Footwear and Adornment.

According to Celeste, “Molly approached Talaria last August with an idea to help bring footwear to underprivileged kids globally. Our conversation quickly evolved to identifying that there are many local families who also cannot afford proper footwear”.

As a result of two like-minded individuals coming together; a CAMPAIGN that is now being called “Walk a Mile in Someone’s Shoes” has evolved.

According to Molly’s research, The World Health Organization has identified that approximately 1.5 billion people are infected with soil-transmitted infections due to walking barefoot and having parasites enter the body through the bottom of the feet. People in poverty have few resources; they generally live in poor communities where human waste and garbage have made the soil a breeding ground for many deadly

organisms. Families spend their entire day walking barefoot in landfills because they have no other source of transportation other than walking. As well, our local schools are seeing increased numbers of children coming to school without appropriate “back to school and winter footwear”, says Molly.

Molly plans to raise money for footwear and collect gently used shoes to help children locally and abroad.

Molly reports that sending shoes overseas to third world countries is necessary to protect children from soil parasites, abrasions and infection and long term physical health conditions. Shoes allow deprived families the ability to walk longer distances to obtain water, food, shelter or medical help. Children without shoes are denied access to education in many countries and more likely to enter in child labour.

Molly also hopes to raise funds to support a women living in Liberia who makes shoes for local children. By supporting a business such as this you are giving to their local economy and also outfitting children with shoes. Additionally, I plan to donate the funds raised at the walkathon to our local schools and work with the principals to ensure that children living in Kimberley have the shoes that they need to return to school, partici-

pate in athletic events and ensure that no child is deprived of much needed winter footwear.

Molly’s goal is to personally raise $1000$1500 to outfit local children with shoes. To motivate and encourage her, Talaria has offered to match her dollar for dollar. If you would like to pledge Molly’s walk you can go to https:// www.gofundme. com/24zjwb6c Molly hopes that encouraging kids to walk with her will give so many children a sense of empathy for what it’s like for others, an appreciation for how much they have and to understand that for some children owning a pair of quality shoes is a luxury that many of us take for granted.

The walkathon will be held on June 18 at 10 a.m. Those who participate are welcomed to ask for pledges for their walk (though it is not mandatory). For every child that raises $30, one pair of shoes from the event’s sponsors will be donated to a family in need abroad and the pledges collected will be used to outfit local children.

All money raised is 100 per cent not for profit. In addition to the Walk-A-Mile event, a shoe drive is also being organized at each of the Kimberley schools, a bin will be set up where gently used footwear can be donated. These will be distributed to local families, as it has been a high-needs year

in Kimberley.

If you would like more information about this event, request a pledge form, donate

shoes or funds you can e-mail Molly at 2000stepswithmolly@ gmail.com or call/text @ 250 427-6210.

Funds for For Mac C AROLYN GR ANT

Another Kimberley business is also looking to support those in need. Todd and Brenda at the Rustic Hutch in Marysville want to do something for those who have lost everything in the Fort McMurray fire.

They are challenging other Kimberley

businesses to join them on Tuesday, May 31, when they will donate 15 per cent of that day’s sales to those affected by the fire.

Brenda says that if other businesses would do the same it would show what a caring city we all live in.

Evacuation Notifications - The City of Kimberley Fire Department has recently updated our emergency evacuation plan. This plan describes the processes involved with evacuating our citizens and how people will be notified of evacuation orders.

Evacuations may be extremely urgent, or we may have some lead time to prepare which will allow us to evacuate in stages.

When time permits, an evacuation alert may be issued. This means that it is important to be ready and pay attention to any media sources available. If the event escalates and an evacuation order is issued - it is time to go, ensuring you follow the directions of emergency management personnel.

In some cases, an evacuation order will come with little or no warning. Door to door notifications may occur along with emergency broadcasts. The City’s air raid horn may be activated, which in the event of an emergency will notify people in the downtown core. This horn will be tested on June 1st at 10:00 a.m.

To ensure that you are aware of any events that may be unfolding, it is important to follow the City’s Facebook page or other information sources. It is imperative to share any information and spread the word to neighbors and family members that may not utilize social media.

It is vitally important to have your household emergency plan and emergency kit ready to go. For your convenience there are emergency plan and evacuation handouts available at City Hall. For any questions regarding the City’s evacuation plan or how you can create your own at home, please call the Kimberley Fire Department at 250.427.4114.

Shiny teflon political elbows Join me as we discuss political tidbits were seen as a referendum on Harper’s years as Prime Minister and the crushing and odds and ends from the past week.

Elbow-gate seems to be dissolving into defeat seen as “Harper fatigue”. In fact the the ash-heap of history with no harm one burning question with many, as done to Justin Trudeau’s reputation. He Harper conceded to Trudeau last fall was, apologized — profusely — and most seem why didn’t he resign right then?

So now it’s out with a whimper not a to accept it. In fact, an Ipsos poll commissioned by Global News found that 63 per bang. But in the immortal words of Neil Young, “It’s better to burn cent believe the whole out than it is to rust”. thing was “no big deal”.

Given that Harper had It’s also interesting that been accused of more than most of the blowback on a few robotic qualities, he this seems to have hit the may have begun to rust NDP, as many have acCarolyn earlier than some. cused them of blowing the Grant South of the border, entire incident out of proDonald Trump continues portion. And indeed, leader Tom Mulcair’s insistence that Trudeau’s to refuse to release his tax returns, someflying elbow into the chest of MP Ruth-El- thing every presidential candidate has len Brosseau, which most agree seems in- done in the past. Some speculate he won’t advertent, is akin to abuse, is not playing release them because they would show well. The claim didn’t fly well with groups he’s not as rich as he claims to be; others who assist victims of domestic violence — speculate that they will show he managed let me tell you about abuse and what it to avoid paying any income taxes. Trump looks like was their message. It also didn’t himself says he can’t release his returns play well with most Canadians, who gave because he is undergoing an audit by the IRS. However, the IRS says that doesn’t Mulcair a resounding “Oh puhleeeze!”

So Trudeau’s honeymoon with Cana- preclude him from releasing the tax redian voters appears to continue. I’m sure turns. Round and round we go with the some are asking, what will it take? If a Donald show.

Trump is pulling off quite a remarkphysical melee in the House of Commons doesn’t dent his approval rating, what will able feat at the moment. You think Trudeau is teflon? That nothing seems to it take?

Surely, one Stephen Harper must be hurt him?

How about Donald Trump? No matter thinking that. In fact, maybe that’s what pushed him to announce his retirement how often he flip flops his positions, no this week. He announced on Wednesday matter how often he outright lies, nobody that he will resign this fall to pursue “other seems to care. The media doesn’t push business interests”. It was an announce- him. He lies blatantly and rather than ment that many had been anticipating push, it’s just accepted.

Why? given that the results of the last election

Many Trump supporters like to say he “tells it like it is”. Apparently that’s something to be admired. If you tell it like it is, it doesn’t matter that the message is racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and downright scary. Because he’s telling it like it is.

It’s all part and parcel of a particularly American notion that you can’t trust politicians. And if you can’t trust them, you don’t want to elect them. You want to elect anyone but a politician. It’s counter-intuitive to the point of absurdity.

Do you go to a job interview for a position as a lawyer and proudly proclaim that you did not study law and have no intention of doing so? For a position as a surgeon while screaming at the top of your lungs that you’d rather die than go to medical school?

Yet America is poised to elect a man who knows nothing about the workings of government, who has no policy except vague promises, who doesn’t even seem to understand the electoral system. But he’s gaining supporters because he’s not a politician.

I guess my question is, when does he become a politician? He’s through the primary process, which involves a lot of politics. He is now embarking on the general election campaign, a political show watched worldwide. How long can he continue to proclaim he’s not a politician?

Considering the blind loyalty of his supporters, he will probably still proclaim he’s not a politician while he’s running for re-election. And they will believe him.

OPINION/EVENTS LETTERS to the EDITOR

East Kootenay Baseball

As a clarification to my “Letter to the Editor” in regards to Mens Baseball Exhibition Games: The proposed “exhibition game schedule” would only be a commitment of two days this summer. One day in Kimberley and one day in Cranbrook. On each of those days we would play two games, each game would be seven innings. The objective of this exhibition series would be for baseball players in both communities to meet each other, have some fun, socialize, and get those people interested in playing baseball a chance to discuss the possibility of reviving a baseball league in the East Kootenay.

It was only five years ago when a league did exist that had five teams involved. Only two years ago, the Cranbrook Sox Baseball Club represented the Kootenays at the BC Baseball Associations annual tournament in Trail. We have some history of very good young baseball players coming out of our area thanks in great part to the establishment of the Cranbrook Bandits Baseball Club and the good professional coaching talent they have offered our youth.

Many of these young players would like to continue playing baseball after their minor league careers have finished.

This is an attempt to get those young players together to start a discussion about forming a new league.

Please contact Roger Tierney 250-427-3347 if you would like to participate.

senior prices are $40 more. For a few other quick comparisons to our adult Season price of $485: Lethbridge is $530, Swift Current is $550 for a “so called” good seat, Red Deer is $580, Medicine Hat is $603.00.

How about offering flexibility options to those for whom season tickets don’t quite work? The Ice offer Adult and Senior seven game and 36 game Flex Packs at discounts to game day walk up prices. Flex Pack tickets can be used all at one game or spread over different games of your choice. Thirty Six game Flex Packs are not priced much above Regular Season Ticket prices and save $198 over walk on prices.

Various regular promotions include 2-for-1 Tuesdays, Sunday Family Nights, College of the Rockies Nights and the Pepsi Kids’ Club and other school promotions. These specials offer more opportunities for less expensive tickets.

If I sound like an unabashed Kootenay Ice Fan, I’m proud to be.

Personally, I do not want to play Russian roulette about whether or not the Ice stay in Cranbrook. The purpose of my letter is to remind our fans and local businesses how good we have it.

If this should be the last season for the Kootenay Ice, let’s make it one of their best ever and have them forever look back and second guess why they ever left Cranbrook.

Lastly, I would like to gently remind you that Season Ticket Early Bird Discounts, up to 41% on walk on prices, end June 3.

Stay Ice Stay

This upcoming 2016-17 season could be the last for the Kootenay Ice. Personally, I care immensely about keeping the Ice here in the Kootenays. The point is, why should I care or why should you?

Aside from losing great hockey, here are some financial facts and social spin off benefits that we are in danger of losing: • The City would lose its anchor tenant in Western Financial Place.

• East Kootenay Minor sports will lose sure fire access to significant 50-50 funds raised at home games.

• Many local charities will lose opportunities with sure-fire fundraising events between periods.

Intrasquad games raised $2,265 for East Kootenay United Way resulting in over $32,000 in total by way of these games.

• The 2015 Kootenay Ice Scholarship, given to a Mount Baker student, was $2,500 • The Chynoweth family and the Ice have donated over $35,000 to Mount Baker students.

Ice Players become role models and heroes for children and students. Two examples include player participation in the Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Campaign and participation in the Legion’s annual poppy sale. As well, the players participate in many school events, and every month during the season a player is honored as the Community Player of the Month demonstrating to our own youth, the value of volunteering and good citizenship.

There is only one way to keep the Kootenay Ice, whether under the current or new ownership. We as businesses and fans need to quickly find a way to regenerate the excitement, the buzz, and the pride of having a WHL team as an integral component of our community.

Many of you would remember when the Ice first came to Cranbrook. Everyone wanted tickets and/or a piece of the promotional action just to be associated with the team. So how do we regenerate that excitement, buzz and pride? I believe real pride in our team (win or lose) has always been with us.

We need to communicate how important the Kootenay Ice are to our community. Therefore, I challenge our business community to start the dialogue simply by posting “Stay Ice Stay!” on their outdoor signage. Their advertisements in the Townsman or the Bulletin could slip in a line that says “Stay Ice Stay!”.

The City could do the same in its advertisements and notices.

What is in it for them? I cannot think of a business in our Kootenay Area that does not reap benefits either directly of indirectly because we have the Ice. What can we as fans do to add to the buzz? For a start, let’s talk about why our community wants and needs the Ice. Let’s tell it to our friends, our neighbours and to the businesses where we shop.

Here’s an unorthodox suggestion: To encourage our lads and to tell them we care, let us simply replace our chant of “Go Ice Go” with “Stay Ice Stay”. The excitement comes automatically by being at the games, sharing the experience with family and friends over a coffee the next day.

A word about the price of game and season tickets: After researching ticket costs in comparable markets, Kootenay Ice tickets are the lowest in the WHL. There is one exception. To get an adult season ticket for less you have to travel all the way to Brandon. It is $10 less but their

Creston Valley T-Cats to host Cyclone Taylor Cup Submitted

BC Hockey announced Thursday, May 26, 2016 that the Creston Valley Thunder Cats will host the 2017 Cyclone Taylor Cup, the Junior B Provincial Championship, April 6 – 9, 2017.

The champions from the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), Pacific Junior Hockey League (PJHL), and Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) along with the host team will compete in the Championship tournament.

“On behalf of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats’ Board of Directors, as well as our coaching staff and vol-

unteers, I would like to express our excitement to host the 2017 Cyclone Taylor Cup in the Creston Valley,” commented Michael Moore, President, Creston Valley Thunder Cats. “It’s an honour to be chosen to represent the KIJHL, and we look forward to welcoming fans from all over the province and showcasing our tremendous support the Thunder Cats and Junior hockey receive in our great community.”

Added Brian Harrison, the BC Hockey Junior B Coordinator: “Since Junior B hockey thrives in many small towns in BC, we were thrilled to receive such

a strong application from Creston to host the 2017 Cyclone Taylor Cup. “Creston has been a long-time supporter of Junior B hockey and because of that support, we are confident they will be outstanding hosts. We are very much looking forward to showcasing the best teams in BC, competing to be Cyclone Taylor Cup champions in Creston.”

The Cyclone Taylor Cup rotates throughout the three Jr. B leagues in the province each year, and KIJHL president Bill Ohlhausen said he is excited to see the tournament come back to the KIJHL. The Kimberley Dy-

namiters had submitted a bid to host the tournament, as the KIJHL is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary.

According to BC Hockey, a broad list of factors is reviewed

when examining host bids for the Cyclone Taylor Cup, including but not limited to: presented budget, volunteer pool, media, ticketing and sponsorship.

The 2015 Cyclone

Taylor Cup was hosted by the Victoria Cougars from April 7 – 10, 2016 in Victoria, BC. The 100 Mile House Wranglers defeated the Cougars 5 - 4 in the gold medal game and went on cap-

ture the 2016 Western Canadian Keystone Cup with a 3 – 2 overtime win over the AGI Insurance Quakers.

W.S. Santo: The Telltale Inscription

The telltale inscription (Cameron May, 2016)

JANUS:

Then & Now

Jim Cameron

On

the southeast corner of Louis Street and Garden Avenue there is a large, empty lot. Well, not entirely empty. There is grass and there are trees and there is a concrete wall around part of it and a sign that would seem to indicate that it is for sale and there are two nicely constructed though slowly deteriorating rock pillars at the end of a sidewalk that leads to the middle of nothing.

If you walk up to the end of the sidewalk you will be standing at the foot of what was once stairs to a house. If you turn around and walk back down the sidewalk and down the steps and then stop and look down past your feet you will see an inscription in the concrete. It will be upside down and backwards. Move around to the other side and you will read, “W.S. Santo,” stamped clear as a bell into the concrete sidewalk.

Now, you can wander all around Cranbrook and you will see City of Cranbrook stamps in sidewalks and you will find scratches and scribbles in sidewalks but it is unlikely that you will find anything like this and, since W.S. Santo died over 70 years ago, it is very unlikely that you will find one as old. And what did W.S. Santo do

to have his name engraved so neatly in city cement and exactly how long has it been there?

That remains open for speculation.

William Stephen Santo was born in London, Ontario, on June 25, 1863. In his younger days, it has been stated that he served as a dispatcher with General Middleton’s army during the North-West Riel Rebellion of 1885. It has further been stated that he met his wife Annie — born in County Clare, Ireland — in Columbus, Ohio, from whence they travelled to British Columbia by way of mining camps in California, Colorado and Montana. There is little hard evidence. Perhaps he may have done both.

Regardless, William and Annie Santo found themselves in Fort Steele in 1897; where their daughter Lily Vigil was born, and from there moved on to operate general stores at Sand Creek, Peterborough (now Wilmer) and Canterbury (now Invermere) where they opened the town’s first store in 1901. By 1906 the Santos owned the Thunder Hill Ranch at the southern end of the Upper Columbia Lake near Canal Flats.

Although mining remained a constant throughout William Santo’s life, ranching did not. In 1908 he sold much of Thunder Hill to Earl Grey, the Governor General of Canada, and disposed of the remainder over the ensuing years. In 1911, the Santos moved to Cranbrook, purchased land on the corner of Louis and Garden and built a house.

Mr. Santo quickly immersed himself in community activities, joining the Agricultural Associa-

tion, the Cranbrook and District Fish and Game Protective Association and the local chapter of the Masons before the year was out.

His interest in civic affairs led him to run for mayor in 1913, heading a ticket (a common practice of the day) of CPR “railroad men.” It was yet another chapter in an ongoing local political battle between the railway men and the businessmen of the city, which, in short, may be better described as railway union versus business non-union. The Santo ticket was soundly defeated by the ticket of businessman Alder Bowness featuring a rather vitriolic election campaign. It brought a large turnout to the polls and left a lingering bad taste in the mouths of many.

Despite his political failure, William Santo did not abandon his support for the community, continuing with civic affairs as before. He further applied himself to the beautification of his property with a passion constructing a concrete wall and cast iron fence in 1914 and a great deal of landscaping, resulting in “… one of the most picturesque residence properties in the city,” according to the Cranbrook Herald of June 4, 1914.

He once again stood for alderman in 1915 and was once again defeated. The following year he was finally successful in his bid and undertook the role of alderman as well as becoming one of three members of the local police commission. An editorial in the Herald of January 4, 1917, states “Mr. Santo’s record on the police commission and council has not been such as to entitle him to a renewal of the confidence of the electorate.” He was defeated in his bid for public of-

The visage of W.W. Santo gazes down upon the present day site of his former home.

The Santo Residence on the corner of Louis St. and Garden Ave., prior to 1929 . fice during the ensuing election.

Never a quitter, he once again became a member of city council (by acclamation) in 1921 and by popular vote the following year. He saved a child from drowning in Joseph Creek in April, 1922, although, perhaps not surprisingly, his effort garnered little publicity in the local news.

That same year he was appointed head of the Cranbrook Government Liquor Control Board, a rather plum position and one that he held until 1929.

During his final years, William Santo secured a post with the Parks Board at Radium, for which he vacated his

house in 1939. He died on May 19, 1945, at the age of 81, outliving his wife by 19 years. The Santo residence remained standing until the 1970s.

As to the inscription in the sidewalk, it would

seem unlikely to have occurred after 1939, which would mean that both it and the concrete in which it is imbedded is at least 77 years old, a testament both to the man and the cement of the day.

As a final note, for those who recall the mineral cabinet outside the old Cranbrook Post Office, it was none other than W.S. Santo who collected and labeled the display in 1925.

From Page 1 With that looming Kimberley Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery and board members were looking at other locations, and had it narrowed down to two possibilities, each with their own logistical problems. The two choices are Centennial Park or the portion of Rotary Park between the ball diamond and the tennis courts. Rotary Park presents the problem and expense of getting power to the site. Centennial Park, while a good location,

with power available, is a long way from the Civic Centre where the Saturday night dance is held, which would hamper moving the crowds into the arena. Guarnery indicated the Chamber is leaning towards Rotary Park.

However, that is something the Chamber will now have time to work out, Guarnery says.

“I’m 99 per cent sure we’ll be at the same spot as last year,” he said on Wednesday, ahead of the Chamber’s open house Thursday evening.

PURCHASE FINANCING

At the meeting, guests were shown a crude layout of plans for Rotary Park.

“It still needs approval from the Fire Chief, City Hall, and SD6 as it would require the closure of McKenzie St. from Friday night to Sunday (again, all next year),” he said.

As for JulyFest Saturday night for this year, Guarnery says he is just waiting for three bands to sign contracts, so it’s not 100 per cent certain, but here’s the tentative plan.

At the open house, the Chamber introduced Darren Shaben as the Coordinator along with Karen Rempel as Sponsorship and Volunteer Coordinator.

Take a Top 10 tour through Cranbrook 1. Take a trip through time at the Cranbrook History Centre. The internationally renowned museum house a fine and unique collection of restored classic railcars and locomotives. Book a tour and see how the romantic history of Canadian railroading comes alive at this fascinating establishment. The museum is also the site of the Royal Alexandra Hall, which was originally built in 1906 as the Cafe of the Royal Alexandra Hotel in Winnipeg.

2. The summers can get piping out in southeast British Columbia. While in Cranbrook, cool off at one of our outdoor water spray parks, or visit the pool complex at the Cranbrook Aquatic Centre. The Kinsmen Spray Park near the College of the Rockies and the Rotary Spray Park in downtown Cranbrook are always hubs of activity. And the top-of-the-line Aquatic centre, complete with wave pool and waterslide is a must-stop on your travels. Or head to Jim Smith Lake Provincial Park just south of Cranbrook; a popular park for outdoor recreation and nature study.

3. The Cranbrook Farmer’s Market: Every Saturday features a mini-festival on 10th Avenue in downtown Cranbrook. Now in its eighth season, the Farm-

er’s Market attracts vendors from all over the region, and features fresh, locally grown organic foodstuffs and crafts. It is a major venue for busking musicians, and if you’re into people-watching, there’s no better spot.

4. Take in a performance at the Key City Theatre or the Studio Stage Door — Cranbrook’s two central venues for live performing arts. The 600-seat Key City Theatre is Ground Zero for East Kootenay culture, featuring and on-going line-up of local and touring artists of all genres. For a more intimate occasion, take in a play at the Heritage Studio Stage Door building.

5. The Cranbrook area is the centre of outdoor biking adventure in Western Canada. Cranbrook’s Rotary Way biking or walking path runs the breadth of Cranbrook with all its diversity, and will eventually lead to to the breathtaking Isadore Canyon. Or get on the famous North Star Rails to Trails, running 30 kilometres from Cranbrook to Kimberley. If you want your ride to be endless, take your mountain bike to the vast expanse of the Cranbrook Community Forest, or the South Star Recreation Trails.

6. Refresh your spirit at Idlewild Park, a community park located on the south side of the Cranbrook. Park is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors — there is no better spot for a picnic, hiking or birdwatching.

7. If golfing’s your thing, getting for a links experience unlike any other.

Cranbrook has three spectacular courses — the Cranbrook Golf Club, Mission Hills and Wildstone — within city limits, and several more just a short drive away (no pun intended). For a quick stop with the youngsters, check out the mini-golf at Elizabeth Lake Lodge in Cranbrook.

8. ‘Speaking of Elizabeth Lake, the Elizabeth Lake Bird Sanctuary, just west of Cranbrook, is one of the top wildlife viewing areas in southeast BC. This 300 acre wildlife reserve is situated on a migratory bird flight path, and each year it becomes important nesting and feeding grounds for many bird species. Established trails within the popular birdwatching wetland and grassland habitat provide wildlife viewing, walking and jogging opportunities.’

9. Add a little edge to your walk in the woods at the Cranbrook Disc Golf Course, in the forest adjacent to the College of the Rockies. The fast-growing sport of disc golf has its ultimate expression at this 18-hole course, renowned as one of the best and most challenging in British Columbia.

10. Take a day-trip to Fort Steele, and watch the past come alive. This historic 19th century village 10 kilometres from Cranbrook is now an important heritage site, featuring “living history,” gold-panning, old-time agricultural demonstrations, train rides along the Kootenay River, live theatre and much more.

The endless number of travel sites, blogs and traveller reviews makes travel the second most popular topic searched for on the web. Today’s travellers are more informed than ever, thanks to information found online. A brilliant resource not all travellers are familiar with are Travel Agencies and the expertise and service a Travel Consultant brings to the table. They provide insightful, personal assistance with a conscience.

From the inception or your vacation idea, to the planning, ‘living you dream vacation,’ to your arrival back home - working with a knowledgeable travel consultant can really elevate your travel experience. Here are a few of those few attributes: Unbiased information - Did you know ‘online travel sites’ often produce bias results? Based on an ‘agreement’ with an airline or travel supplier the online provider may receive a kickback, based on sales volume. A Travel Consultants’ recommendations are based solely on your best interests.

Time - Searching websites can eat up hours, even days of your life. Time is a non-renewable resource, so when you’d rather be outdoors than online, a Travel Consultant is the perfect resource to work on your behalf.

Perks - A Travel Professional can often garner room upgrades, inclusions such as breakfast, complimentary parking, onboard cruise credits, per-paid gratuities, even free seat selection on some flights. These extras can definitely enhance a vaca-

tion experience.

“Who you know” - Travel Consultants have direct contact with Cruise, Tour, Hotel, Airline and Sun Supplier representatives. They have years invested in these relationships. When bending the rules, or a special request will save you time, money, and highten your travel experience, “who they know” can make a difference.

Peace of mind - Travel Agencies have stringent requirements to be licensed to sell travel in the province of British Columbia. Your vacation investment dollars are securely protected when working with a licensed Travel Agency.

Got your back - Not only does a Travel Consultant assist with organizing and planning, they’ve got your back during your travels. A welcome lifeline when Passports go missing, a world crisis’ occurs, or Mother Nature causes travel havoc.

Experience - Great Travel Agencies have Consultants that Travel often. They are real people that cruise, hike, cycle and test-drive lounge chairs. They seek out hidden gem hotels. Don’t be surprised if they’re foodies. There’s nothing quite like first-hand experience to enhance your travel experience.

Make your next trip the best trip ever. Discover the magic of working with a travel expert. The value a Travel Consultant brings to the table is likely to wow and amaze you!

Trust an expert to handcraft your next amazing travel experience. Call a Super Consultant at Mountain City Travel. 250-427-2233 or travel@ mcity.ca

Enjoy Your Summer With Us.

Craft beer enthusiasts from around the valley, get ready, the East Kootenay Beer Festival will be returning for the fifth consecutive year at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort.

The event will take place on Saturday, June 18 starting at 4 p.m. with 45 different varieties of beer.

This year’s Beer Fest marks the fifth annual festival after the resort sold out last year’s event with 500 tickets.

This year, organizers have decided to add an additional 200 tickets, bringing their maximum capacity to 700 people. Patrick Tolchard, special events co-ordinator at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, said the picturesque mountain scenery surrounding the festival separates it from many similar festivals across Western Canada.

Tickets for the event will be $59, which includes access to the after party with local band Valley Forged playing at the resort’s ski chalet.

The resort is also offering a Lodge Package starting at $359 that includes two tickets to the Beer Festival plus a classic room from June 17 to 18 and unlimited access to the hot springs and exclusive guest amenities. Other packages include the camping package at Spruce Grove from $170 (two people) and

45 varieties of beer will be on tap at the 5th annual Beer Fest. the RV Resort from $198 (all prices are without taxes included).

There will also be a shuttle service the night of the beer fest running from Radium through Invermere all the way to Canal Flats. Mr. Tolchard said this is very important for an event like this to ensure that people are able to get to and from the event safely and ensure no one is drinking and driving.

“To kick off the Beer Festival weekend, the Resort also plans to offer live music in Bear’s Paw Bar & Grill with Billy Kulyk & Friends and music bingo in Mountain Flowers Restaurant on the Friday night.”

A long drive competition is also happening Friday night from 4 to 7

p.m. at the Fairmont Hot Spring Resort Airport, which is open to everyone to see how far they can drive the ball down the runway. It will be $15 for three balls or chances at the longest drive and $10 for children 12 and under.

He said that running the annual Beer Festival is a great opportunity to promote local businesses and breweries and promote local product.

“Having this event also gives breweries a chance to showcase their product and in turn get it on the shelves of our local liquor stores and in restaurants.”

Increased angling enforcement on B.C. waterways Submit ted

The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC and the B.C. Conservation Officer Service (COS) are joining forces to ensure anglers respect the rules while enjoying freshwater lakes and

rivers throughout British Columbia this summer.

For the second year in a row, through the generosity of the society, popular fishing areas will see extra patrols by conservation officers to address illegal activ-

ity and encourage compliance.

In 2003, the Province signed a 30-year contract with the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC to be a non-profit delivery partner with a mandate to conserve

and enhance freshwater fishing opportunities in B.C. Since April 1, 2015, 100% of freshwater fishing licence revenue has been invested in recreational fisheries, delivering on a commitment government

made in 2013.

Last year alone saw funding of $10 million, some of which the society invests to enhance existing compliance, enforcement and education efforts.

Non-compliance with

the Wildlife Act has a direct impact on fish, the environment, revenues to the society and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, as well as the overall fishing experience in B.C.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

CALL 426-3272 OR VISIT

www.tribute.ca

for this week’s movie listings

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be taken aback by the onslaught of people and invitations that greet you today.

Try not to make a situation a big deal or blow it out of proportion.

Remember the reason you are in this pickle, and approach the matter with grace. Tonight: Excuse a slightly hostile response.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be stopped by everything that is going on around you. A loved one who has been touchy as of late might become somewhat difficult. Walk away from this type of situation as much as you can. What is revealed could be a real eye-opener. Tonight: Expect the unusual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might be tempted to close the door and take off. You could do that, but how effective would it be? Your mind seems to be everywhere but on the present issue. With that awareness, make choices and strong statements with care. Tonight: Opt for fun

and togetherness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your ability to energize others emerges. Though at first you might try to speak to people as a group, you’ll quickly recognize the importance of having one-on-one talks. You will learn more about someone by his or her facial responses. Tonight: Maintain eye contact.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others make it clear why they appreciate you. Most of you will be quite gracious in accepting these compliments. However, some of you might express some cynicism. Ask yourself why you can’t accept a compliment for what it offers. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be left holding the bag and cleaning up after others, be it at work or with household chores. If this situation really doesn’t bother you, feel free to continue. Still, be sure to view your personal time as important. Tonight: Curb any sarcastic comments for now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Garfield

Hagar the Horrible

Keep pushing for what you want. Many of you have more than enough charm to coerce others into doing what you want. Use caution with spending and other fun indulgences that could get you into trouble!

Tonight: Sometimes it serves you to be more open.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a way about you that draws others closer to you.

Someone seems particularly intrigued by you; however, this same person could have some immoral personality traits.

Consider how important it is to be more open. Tonight: Head home early.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your words mean a lot to someone in your immediate circle.

Don’t be surprised if this person expresses those feelings. You know that you are not always clear, but to this person, you are more revealing than are others in their circle. Tonight: Hang out with some close friends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might discover that you are at a point with spending that is

unwise, and you’ll want to hold off on making any more purchases. Having sufficient funds in your savings and/or investments is a comfort that you will not want to give up! Tonight: Worry less and play more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) When you wake up, you’ll note a more positive tone to the day.

Nevertheless, you could get into an argument with someone you respect and sometimes put on a pedestal. Try to avoid hassles right now. Tonight: Exactly what do you want to do? Once you decide, make it so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You actually might need to take some time off from your friends and family. Go cocoon somewhere quiet and remote. You have seen way too much to keep pushing at such a hectic pace.

Know when to say “enough” and go on retreat. Tonight: A little solitude goes a long way.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: There is a couple that socializes with us and our friends. They constantly drop hints that their adult children (living at home) should be invited to our events.

They say things like, “Becky would really enjoy coming to your house. She loves the way you cook.” Sometimes they just show up at the door with their adult children and say, “I hope you don’t mind.”

How do you respond to such requests?

And how do we prevent future occurrences?

These people can be rather insistent. They seem to feel that we would be missing so much if their adult children didn’t attend. -Hostess in Louisiana Dear Hostess: These people want their children included in everything and have little consideration for their hosts. When they ask to bring Becky, it’s perfectly OK to say, “I’m so sorry, but I can’t accommodate her this time.” If they say they won’t attend without her, the response should be, “We’ll miss you.”

Showing up unexpectedly at the door is a more difficult issue. Since they do this frequently, you would be justified in turning them away, saying, “So sorry, but we didn’t plan on an additional person. We’d be happy to host you and Becky another time.”

(We know someone who once sweetly and cheerfully directed an adult child to a playroom with 5-year-olds.) But you also can be gracious and accept that Becky will tag along whenever you invite this couple. Your choice is simply to invite them or not. If the constant tagalongs are a major nuisance, you can stop including this couple and they will undoubtedly figure out why.

Dear Annie: Like “Fed Up Sister,” my brother was also a braggart. From his teenage years on, he always tried to one-up everyone. He was the youngest of six and didn’t realize that the rest of us compared notes about his stories. We felt the bragging must be important to him, so we never let on. He was always the life of the party and fun to be around. He went through three marriages, had five children and still his claims of grandeur continued. We always believed that his bragging stemmed from not feeling as successful as his siblings.

When his last marriage dissolved, he didn’t bounce back like he always had before. We received a call from the police one day that he had shot himself. He was dead at age 48.

His life had been a series of stories about how great things were and how wonderfully he was doing. In reality, we learned that he was an insecure and lost person.

I wish we had been able to see through his stories to the insecurities underneath.

But we loved him and didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Maybe if we had called him on those stories, things might have different.

We will never know. I want to tell “Fed Up” and everyone else in this position to just love your siblings while you can. You never know how long they will be here. -- Still Grieving Sister Dear Sister: You have given kind advice.

Please stop blaming yourself for not doing enough for your brother. You knew he was insecure, but confronting him about the bragging may have pushed him away from you altogether. You were loving and tolerant, which is what siblings should be. Our deepest condolences.

Career Opportunities

It is with broken and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our son and brother Jared Harris on Saturday, May 14, 2016.

Jared was born on December 2, 1990 in Fort St. John, BC. He had a love of the outdoors, particularly fishing and camping, boating and snowboarding.

Jared’s greatest passion was working out in the gym and he thoroughly enjoyed physical labour. Jared had the hugest heart for those he loved and was always looking out for the needs of others with a deep desire to help where he could. Jared truly magnified his love towards his family, always teasing his brothers and sisters, but always the first one to pick them up from their troubles and sorrows. Jared will be missed deeply and loved forever in our hearts. We love you always and forever Jared. XO Dad, Mom, Alvin, Kieyra, Damian, Keenan, Danica and Dustin.

Jared is survived by his parents Jeremy and Marie Harris, siblings Alvin (20), Kieyra (19), Damian (17), Keenan (15), Danica (13) and Dustin (10), along with many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his grandfather Peter Alvin Cantlon, grandpa and grandma Arnold and Valerie Harris/Palmer, cousins Garret Cantlon and Trevor Harris and his uncle Bob Thomas.

Teens and Marijuana: What are the Potential Risks?

Dean Nicholson

In

last year’s election, all the political parties said they wanted to limit teens’ access to marijuana and protect them from marijuana’s risks.

There was good reason for the parties to say this: Canadian youth have some of the highest rates of marijuana use in the world. Furthermore, ongoing research is showing that the teenage brain is more susceptible to the potential negative effects of marijuana than is the adult brain.

In the East Kootenay 31% of youth in Grades 7 to 12 say they have tried marijuana in their lifetime, with 25% of youth saying they have used in the past year. Of kids who do use 60% say they use less than once a week, but 25% say they use three days a week or more. That means that well over 300 youth in our region are using marijuana at what researchers would call a heavy rate of use.

Why is this important? Because in 2015 the Canadian Centre for Substance Abuse released “The Effects of Cannabis Use During Adolescence,” which summarized the current research on the risks of marijuana use for teens. One of the key points in the paper was that, because teenage

brains are going through a critical period of growth and development, they are more susceptible to the impact of substances, with marijuana being particularly potent on the developing brain.

Marijuana has been shown to change the physical development of teenage brains, particularly those areas involved in emotional and cognitive performance.

Further, the learning that happens during adolescence tends to get learned ‘deeper’ and be more long-lasting than the learning that happens later in adulthood. Thus, the physical changes and the deep behavioural patterning that can occur in teens’ brains when they use marijuana can have much more impact than they would on the adult brain.

One of the recommendations was for teens who were considering using marijuana was to delay use until they were older. Youth who start using at 19 are at less risk than youth who start at 15.

Youth who start using at age 12 or 13 have even higher levels of risk.

The earlier teens start using marijuana the more strongly this is connected to marijuana addiction, as well as emotional and mental health problems, and school and employment problems. In the East Kootenay the

average age for first trying marijuana is just under 14 years old.

The other key recommendation was that if youth are choosing to use marijuana, they should not use in a regular or heavy way.

Most researchers define heavy use as being akin to ‘three days a week or more’, with some research even saying once a week is enough to increase the risks. So in our area we have a lot of kids who are starting to use marijuana at a young age and a lot of kids who are using in a heavy way. Both of these significantly increase the negative risks known to be associated with marijuana.

Legalizing marijuana won’t make these behaviours go away.

What will help is open and accurate discussions about the risks, so that our youth can make choices based on good information, rather than on hype.

For more information about marijuana please contact your local East Kootenay Addiction Services office.
