Planning for the worst as wildfire season heats up Tre vor Cr awley

While the city of Cranbrook is working on reducing wildfire risk within municipal boundaries, homeowners also should take some responsibility in reducing potential hazards.

City staff is advising residents to understand the risks and be prepared in case a wildfire sparks up either inside or outside city limits.

Homes that do not address potential hazards pose a risk not only to one particular structure, but to the neighbourhood and responding emergency services.

Fire and Emergency Services is pushing the concept of a fire-adapted community, which holds that proper community-wide preparation combined with adequate landscape-scale hazard mitigation, human populations and infrastructure can withstand a wildfire.

A fire-adapted community relies on partnerships between agencies, the public, and all levels of government, with each accepting responsibilities for their

part.

When considering the concept of a fire adapted community, the public should be aware of: • what to expect from emergency responders in the first 24 hours of a fire.

• understand how to create and maintain a fuel free area.

• proper landscaping and plant selection.

• placement of heat sources near the home (wood piles, sheds).

• thinning trees and ladder fuels around the home.

• understanding ember danger • having a personal and family preparedness plan.

Homeowners should also brush up on some preparedness concepts that include: • Defensible space — a space between a building and the wild land area that surrounds it to create a buffer. Zone 1 extends 30 feet from the building, Zone 2 extends 30-100 feet.

• Embers — Windblown embers can be a huge danger during wildfire events, as most

New technology helps in treatment of concussions Continued from page 1 “More than 10,000 people visit emergency departments each year in Calgary with a head injury, with a large percentage of these sustained in sport and recreational activities,” WinSport said in a press release.

Dr. Benson oversaw a team that analyzed hundreds of athletes and dozens of concussion cases for five years, using robotics to assess post-concussion neurologic impairment.

Winsport said the new program, based at WinSport’s Medicine Clin-

ic, will use a robotic device called the KINARM (Kinesiologic Instrument for Normal and Altered Reaching Movements, BKIN Technologies Ltd.) to assess patients.

The benefit of using the KINARM robotic device will be to reach a large population of high-risk athletes, in order to advance the science of sport concussion while at the same time continuously improve the standard of clinical care through research and innovation.

Embers can precede a wildfire front and be blown over long distances, Embers that land on roofs can go undetected for some times, and in some cases, ignite a structure and threaten a neighbourhood.

• Hardening your Home — A conceptual plan that protects a home through the actual building materials of the roofs, eaves, vents, decks, windows and other aspects.

• Home Ignition Zone — another concept plan that puts a home in the context of the surrounding land-

scape features. In a high hazard area, the zone can be up to 200 feet, focusing on mitigating wildfire risks within that area. For more information on fireproofing your home and property, visit www.firesmartcanada.ca.

While the city and homeowners can do their part to reduce

wildfire risk within the city boundaries, it is the responsibility of the province to mitigate those risks outside city limits in areas such as the community forest.

According to a city report, Cranbrook is rated in the highest community wildfire risk category in the province.

In order to reduce that risk, a five-kilometre treatment areas would need to be established, encompassing 50,000 hectares. At $7,000-$9,000 a hectare, that isn’t financially feasible, as the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) currently doles out $5 million per year for the entire province.

Ktunaxa Nation Council names new CEO For the Townsman

Cranbrook Crime Reduction Unit makes drug bust For th e Town sman

On June 2, the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit, along with General Duty members of the Cranbrook Detachment and the Police Dog Service, executed a search warrant in the 300 block of 8th Ave South in Cranbrook.

Two people — a man and woman — were arrested on scene and were transported to the Cranbrook RCMP Detachment.

Members conducted a search of the residence and located evidence to corroborate Drug Trafficking.

The 42-year-old man

and 32-year-old woman, both residents of Cranbrook, are facing charges of Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking and Possession of a Scheduled Substance. Both are to appear in court September 6, 2016.

“The Crime Reduction Unit has been working tirelessly trying to keep drugs off the streets of Cranbrook, said the RCMP in a press release.

“No city is immune to the effects of drugs but the collective teamwork of the detachment is definitely quelling the influx of drugs into Cranbrook.”

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week June 5 - 11

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1904 Upcoming show … The Columbia Comedy company which appears here Friday night is under the management of J. W. McClosky, the miner, who, it will be remembered lost both eyes about two years ago by a premature explosion of a blast in the boundary country. Mr. McClosky has adopted this means of making a legitimate living and is entitled to hearty support.

More subscriptions … The Herald subscription list continues to grow, and the demand for the paper increases at the book stores. Last week R. E. Beattie sold between 75 and 100 and C. E. Reid & Co., over 50, while the sales at the office were about 30. This in addition to the large subscription in town shows that The Herald is read.

Wrong attire … Golf is a favorite game in Cranbrook, but the trousers worn have not the regulation check.

Elko’s future ... If the company that is exploiting the power at Elk River falls go ahead with the work, it will be the first step toward making Elko an important industrial center. The Elk falls is probably the finest water power in British Columbia, and the extent is limited by the desire of the promoters.

Already Elko has two railroads, the C.P.R. and the Great Northern, as fine a climate as can be found in Canada, and scenery unsurpassed, and is in close touch with coal mining, lumbering and agricultural industries. The time is coming when Elko will be a prosperous business point and an attractive place for tourists.

Showers, showers, showers ...

Keep yourself clean by taking a bath in one of the new porcelain tubs that Frank Godderies has installed. Bath rooms in connection with his barber shop. Everything up-to-date.

One of the largest … J. D. McBride is busy this week enlarging and improving his hardware store, and when completed he will have one of the largest and most convenient hardware stores in the province.

Moyie drowning accident ... At the mill pond of the Moyie Lumber Company, William Molton, a youth who was in the employ of the company, met his death by drowning on Sunday evening. After supper young Molton went out on the logs, one of which he began rolling. He fell in but was able to get astride of a log, where he remained for some time and then began rolling the log a second time. He once more fell into the pond and this time went under the logs, never coming to the surface again, the body being recovered some time afterwards. The accident is the more sad in that the young fellow came from the Old Country and contemplated visiting his home the coming Christmas. This should be a warning to many in the town, especially some of the boys, who are in the habit of playing on the logs whenever they visit the mill.

Opening soon … I wish to announce to the public that I have opened up a first-class short order restaurant on Armstrong Avenue and shall put forth every effort to merit a share of the public patronage. Chas.

Estes.

Guglielmo Marconi demonstrating the apparatus he used in his first long distance radio transmissions. We wonder if it will ever catch on!

1905 Sullivan mine … Some two miles or so northwest of Kimberly, in a sheltered depression among the foot-hills, lies the famous Sullivan mine, the natural successor in the public esteem to the glories of its nearby neighbor, the North Star. The latter great property has woven its history into the tale of the general progress of East Kootenay to such an extent that the story of one is the story of both. Of late years the flame of success of the North Star grew dim, flickered unsteadily in the wind of sinister rumor, and the other day appeared to die out utterly. Today, just as the Sullivan is turning the mark for the race for fame, the North Star is beginning to show signs of a new vitality, and now that N. McLeod Curran is on the spot to direct things the story is about that activity will begin on the Stem winder a short distance above the extreme end of the spur running from Kimberley to the lower tram terminals of the North Star and Sullivan.

Marconi wireless … With Instruments such as are in use on Ocean Steamships, and purchase stock at $5.00 a share in the Wentworth Hall, Cranbrook .Thursday, June 8th at 8:00 p.m.

Munroe and Munroe managers for the Marconi underwriters. For further information see H. G. ROBINSON, Special Agent, Wentworth Hall, or John Hutchison & Co. Local Agents.

The wireless ... An interesting lecture on Marconi’s invention. Last evening the people of Cranbrook had an opportunity to learn a great deal about the wonderful invention that is attracting so much attention throughout the civilized world —wireless telegraphy.

Wentworth hall was crowded to the doors and a throng hung around on the outside anxious to catch even a word now and then of the interesting lecture that was delivered by Mr. H. G. Robinson . Through the efforts of John Hutchison Mr. George Munroe, head of the well-known firm of Munroe & Munroe, of New York City, managers of the underwriters of the Canadian and American Marconi companies, was induced to come to Cranbrook and give the people a practical demonstration of this wonderful invention. Mr. Munroe, Mr. Robinson, and two engineers of the Marconi Company, arrived Wednesday and at once installed two machines, the same as are used on board of ships and at the land stations by the Marconi company. Cranbrook never turned out a larger or more intelligent audience than the one that filled the hall last evening. For two hours Mr. Robinson held them spellbound. He gave the early history of the invention, the time and toil given to the researches, the stage the

idea had reached when it was taken up by Marconi, his struggles, his perseverance, his sacrifices and his determination to win no matter what the cost. He gave in language simple but clear, so that a novice could readily understand, the theory and practical application of wireless telegraphy, and then told of the commercial advancement made by the wireless during the past few years.

Small is dead … Last Friday, a few minutes after the noon hour, William Small, who had his back dislocated in the C. P. R. station accident on the 23rd of last month, expired at St. Eugene hospital. The death was not unexpected, in fact the wonderful power of physical endurance possessed by the unfortunate man and the careful treatment he received at the hands of Dr. King are the only reasons that he did not die soon after he received the injuries. The spinal cord was ruptured and in consequence there was no nerve action in the lower part of the body. The funeral cortege left the undertaking parlors of W. R. Beatty at 2:30 p.m. All of the deceased’s friends and comrades in the bridge and building department were in attendance, as the men laid off at noon that day for that purpose. The pall bearers were David McCaffrey, John Casey, Hugh McDonald, Henry Brown, Harry Gilroy and Jackson Emerson. The remains were taken to the station and forwarded on the afternoon train to Green Valley, Ont., accompanied by William Tyle, a cousin of the deceased. There were many mourners in Cranbrook when the news spread that William Small was dead. He had always been a general favorite, not only with the men who were his daily companions, but also with all whom he had known. In more ways than one the death was a sad one. For years he had worked in the bridge and building department of the C. P. R., but not long ago he had arranged to quit the work here and go back to the old home in the east where a little woman was waiting for him. They were to have been married and Mr. Small intended then to settle down and spend the rest of his

Of fans, fandom ands Brits in their woad “My future starts when I wake up every morning. Every day I find people doing insane things around me keeping me alert and laughing.”

R

ecently I acquired a new friend who, I discovered later, is an ardent fan of various sports, including hockey. Watching him watching a Stanley Cup game on my TV is a delight. He is so passionate. I invite him over to my place whenever the team he has elected to be his champions this time plays so that I can enjoy the thrills. At this juncture he is in favour of Pittsburgh and was a tad offended when I suggested that Penguins didn’t sound like an apt name for athletes, not when you see them standing about with eggs on their feet.

Just the other evening he bounced into my house at the end of the first period jubilant because he’d caught the start of the game on his computer and the Penguins were up one goal. But then, as soon as he had settled into the chesterfield, the opposition scored and Jake was immediately crestfallen and pessimistic as all get out.

To him it was becoming the end of his world, whilst for me the fun was just beginning.

Personally, if I try to look back over my less-than-illustrious career, I see no sign of

fierce competition. I never played competitive sports competitively, often to the chagrin of my more avid companions. As an Englishman, I am almost ashamed to admit that, apart from one early school where sports were compulsory on pain of death, I never played soccer, rugby or cricket which, in spite of all appearances, is a very dangerous sport. I was knocked out cold twice whilst relegated to the position of umpire.

My beloved wife, however, was a competitor and played net ball for her town and grass hockey for her Peter county. My daughter is a competitor both in Warland fierce team sports and individual hair-raising activities like down-hill ski racing but my son and I seem to have been constructed of different material; we strive to do well, to compete and outdo ourselves but never have been team players.

My new friend Jake, however, I am discovering, is a product of sport competition and it is obvious that he has become a manic team supporter and thus, even if he doesn’t actually foam at the mouth, is amusing to watch.

I have at times been a fan of the teams in which my offspring have played. I’ve watched my granddaughter playing soccer on gravel in a Vancouver deluge and not been too enthusiastic, and I’ve sat

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

glued to my bench as my grandson stood, his brain in neutral, his baseball glove on his head, way out in left field. As my sister explained, it seems that today’s grandparents are compelled to struggle out to see their children’s children disporting themselves in competitions, and attempt to be ardent fans of those teams.

Anyway, Jake will probably be over later to watch Pittsburgh win or lose against some Sharks or other. I will try to get involved and not laugh too much at my friend’s antics. I find being a fan hard enough when I know someone on the team and wish him or her well, but if they’re all strangers and they’re not playing for Canada, I can’t get into the game.

In fact, if I had been born when some folk believe I entered this crazy world thousands of years ago, and been expected to join a team called The Ancient Brits, and who wore blue woad and whose job was to drive off those naughty Roman invaders following Julius Caesar, I would probably have ducked out of that hopeless Gaulish rag-tag army, deserted for lack of interest, and made more interesting attempts to climb to the tops of those whacking monoliths at Stonehenge or practiced harder at running away. I just like to better my own efforts not beat any other team.

Probably, I wouldn’t even have watched the fracas and thus not got myself into such a sweaty turmoil, as does my friend Jake.

TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

Cranbrook and Kimberley’s Rocky Mountain Rogues Rugby Football Club (RFC) is headed back to the Saratoga Cup following a decisive 44-0 victory over the rival Elk Valley Bulls RFC in Kootenay Rugby Union action this past weekend.

“I think we had a good week of practice, both Tuesday and Thursday we had 20plus of our core guys out at practice,” said Jared MacDonald, who suits up for the Rogues. “We had real good training sessions Tuesday [and] Thursday. The same guys showed up Saturday and everybody knew their job, knew their role and knew exactly what they were going to do going into the game.

“It’s a great group of guys around this area, that’s a big part of it. It’s a family. It’s a good group of guys. We play hard, but we have a lot of fun.”

The Rogues put forth a dominating performance Saturday at College of the Rockies in

Cranbrook, shutting out the Bulls only a week after falling by a 52-31 margin in Fernie.

“We came back in the second half there, but it’s hard because we’re struggling for guys each game,” said Todd Larsen, a member of the Rogues, following last week’s loss in Fernie.

With Saturday’s bounce-back win, the Rogues have claimed two of the three games thus far in the fourgame season series between the two clubs, with the other a 41-14 triumph in mid-May. As far as Kootenay Rugby Union standings go, the Rogues hold 11 points while the Bulls sit at five. With a maximum of five points available in each match (a win is worth three points with bonus points awarded based on number of tries) and only one rematch remaining in the series between the only two clubs in the Kootenay Rugby Union, Saturday’s resounding romp over the Bulls provided the Rogues with a berth into the Saratoga Cup — British Columbia’s provincial championship for division three rugby.

“Cranbrook is a much improved team this year,” Bulls captain Adam Foley told Bryn Catton of the Fernie Free Press, following Elk Valley’s 52-31 triumph May 28.

According to MacDonald, the Rogues haven’t been to the Saratoga Cup since making consecutive appearances in 2009 and 2010, so Saturday’s victory is a big one for the squad.

“It’s obviously huge,” MacDonald said. “We have good-calibre rugby in the Kootenay area, but when you’re going to provincials, you’re playing teams that come from all over the province… It’s a huge test for the Rogues going down there. The calibre [of rugby] rises that much more.”

The Saratoga Cup brings together teams from four conferences across the province — the Mainland/Island, Okanagan, Interior and Kootenays. The 2016 Saratoga Cup is scheduled for Sept. 17 to 18 at McNicoll Park Middle School in Penticton.

The Penticton Harlequins RFC claimed the 2015 Saratoga Cup, with

Elk Valley RFC having previously won back-toback provincial crowns in 2013 and 2014.

Even though the Rogues have booked their ticket to the provincial tournament, they aren’t quite ready to look that far ahead. Rocky Mountain RFC heads to Penticton this weekend (June 10 to 12) where they will compete in Sunfest 2016 — an annual tournament hosted by the Harlequins.

Following Sam Steele Days in Cranbrook, the Rogues and Bulls will lock horns one final time in 2016, when they take to the pitch June 24 (2 p.m.) in Fernie.

Though the team is deep into its season, Rocky Mountain Rogues RFC is always looking for new recruits and those wanting to get involved.

Anyone interested is encouraged to send a private message via the team’s Facebook page, which can be found by searching Rocky Mountain Rogues.

The Rogues practice every Tuesday (7 p.m. at Marysville Elementary School) and Thursday (7 p.m. at College of the Rockies, Cranbrook).

Wasa Lake Triathlon registration coming to a close

Sharks say biggest fix for Game 5 is scoring first Jonas Siegel Canadian Press

Registration is about to close for the annual Gerick Sports Wasa Lake Triathlon, which takes place this weekend in the East Kootenay.

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With the big day fast approaching, registration for the Gerick Sports Wasa Lake Triathlon is set to close Thursday, June 9.

The annual Wasa Lake Triathlon is slated for this coming weekend — Saturday, June 11, and Sunday, June 12, at Wasa Lake Provincial Park. As of print deadline Tuesday, a total of 798 participants have already registered for the event, including 323 registrants in the elite Olympic challenge.

“The event attracts families from all over B.C., Alberta and northwest U.S.A.,” said Charlie Cooper, race director, in a media release. “The growth in recent years

has been led by the number of young triathletes coming with their families. We are proud to cater for all ages, with the first event day being dedicated to our younger competitors.”

The TriKids Triathlon kick-starts the weekend on Saturday, with a variety of race options for competitors based on age. TriKids competitors will run anywhere from 500 metres to three kilometres, bike 1.5 km to 10 km and swim 50 m to 300 m.

“We want these young triathletes to love the sport, experience the competition,” Cooper said, “but above all, it’s about participation and have a fun weekend with the family.”

As of print deadline Tuesday, there are al-

ready 197 registered participants for the TriKids Triathlon. TriKids competitors receive orienteering and preparation in order to make the big day memorable and safe. The race is scheduled to begin Saturday at 10 a.m.

Sunday features the big race day, with both the sprint and standard-distance events for individuals and relay teams. There’s a grand total of $4,500 on the line, with $1,000 each awarded to the top finisher in the female and male categories.

The standard event challenges participants with a 1.5-km swim, 40-km bike and 10-km run. The sprint triathlon is targeted for participants ages 16 and older, featuring a 750-m swim,

20-km cycle and fivekm run.

The sprint triathlon, for individuals and relay teams, is slated to begin at 8 a.m., with the Olympic event getting underway at 8:30 a.m.

With a number of top triathletes in the west expected to participate, there are many records on the line in 2016, many of which were set back in 2008.

The record for fastest sprint by a woman was recorded by Tanya Salomon (1:04:59) in 2008.

The fastest spring by a man was set by Trevor Williams (54:32) in 2004.

The fastest women’s Olympic time on record belongs to Kerry Spearing (2:03:14), having registered it in 2008. Andrew Russell is the holder of the fastest men’s

Olympic time (1:50:32), also set in 2008. Finally, the quickest Olympic relay team on record is “Break a Leg,” featuring Seth Bitting and Ryan Cain (1:57:03) in 2008.

With the event taking place this weekend, registration is well within the last-minute registration phase, meaning it will cost interested participants $130 for the youth sprint, $150 for the adult sprint or $155 for the Olympic event.

TriKids registration remains at $55.

Finally, registration for relay teams varies based on team size and event, ranging from $90 to $180.

The annual Gerick Sports Wasa Lake Triathlon is a Triathlon B.C. sanctioned event.

Canada defeats Uzbekistan in soccer friendly Gavin Day Canadian Press

The next time Canada’s men’s national soccer team sees the field, the atmosphere will be in stark contrast to the quiet afternoon in the Austrian countryside it enjoyed on Tuesday.

A late own goal gave Canada a 2-1 win over

Uzbekistan in a friendly in front of a scattering of fans at the Thermenstadion in Bad Waltersdorf.

Canada’s next game is Sept. 2 at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It will likely be in front of a frenzied mob of over 40,000 fans for a crucial World Cup qualifier, with both teams

fighting to advance to the final round in the CONCACAF region.

“You can feel the buzz, especially after the game today,” captain David Edgar, who opened the scoring for Canada in the 20th minute, said of his team’s upcoming matches.

Canada will also host El Salvador Sept. 6 in Van-

couver in the final game of the qualifying round.

After Uzbekistan’s Eldor Shomurodov tied the game in the 62nd minute, Canada started to press and were rewarded when Akramjon Komilov headed a Canadian cross from the left side into his own goal.

The game concluded a camp that started late

last month and included a 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan last Friday.

After picking up four points in four games in its CONCACAF, Canada lies third in a World Cup qualifying group with Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador. While tied on points with Honduras, Canada has an inferior goal differential.

SAN JOSE, Calif. San Jose Sharks head coach Pete DeBoer called it the biggest fix his team needs to make if they have any hope of rallying in the Stanley Cup final.

On the verge of elimination after a 3-1 loss in Game 4, the Sharks have given up the first goal in every game so far. They have yet to play with a lead for even a second, trailing the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 in the best-of-seven series with Game 5 ahead at Consol Energy Center on Thursday night.

The Sharks got their first and only lead of the series when Joonas Donskoi scored the overtime winner in Game 3.

The Western Conference champs came out with good energy in front of an enthusiastic home crowd at SAP Center in Game 4, one that was clad in teal T-shirts emblazoned with sharks circling around two penguins on a lonely chunk of ice.

Despite those encouraging opening minutes, the Sharks could not score. Instead it was Penguins defenceman Ian Cole, he of zero goals

“We’ve been chasing the game the whole series by not scoring first,” DeBoer said after Monday’s loss. “We have to find a way to get on the board earlier in the game instead of chasing it all night.”

The Sharks are 10-3 in the playoffs when they score first and 3-6 when they don’t. They also owned the second-best record during the regular season when hitting the board first, boasting a 35-6-2 mark, which trailed only the President’s Trophy-winning Washington Capitals.

DeBoer said the pressure increased when the opponent notched the game’s first goal. It ruined the rhythm of the bench, he said. Rolling four lines suddenly became less enticing with a deficit because there was more urgency to score or create a scoring chance and more imperative to play certain players more often.

“I don’t know what it is,” he said of the inability to score first. “But it’s been a big issue these (four) games.”

San Jose has had to chase its way back into every game of the series, rallying on multiple occasions to even the score, but never to actually get ahead and play with the lead.

previously in the playoffs, landing the first marker on a rebound.

Cole was wide open on the weak side of the ice when Phil Kessel fired a shot from a bad angle at Martin Jones, the Sharks slow to find their bearings and their foes after a line change.

“You don’t want to give up the first goal, especially on that tough change,” Sharks centre Logan Couture said afterward.

Pittsburgh has outshot San Jose 46-24 in the first period so far this series and is now 12-3 in the post-season when scoring first.

It wasn’t this way at all for the Sharks in the opening three rounds of the post-season. They managed to land the game’s opening goal in 13 of their first 18 games this spring, winning 10 times.

DeBoer couldn’t pinpoint what exactly had changed.

The first period of the first Stanley Cup final in Sharks history was perhaps a sign of things to come. The club was outshot 15-4 and outscored 2-0 in an eventual 3-2 loss.

“We haven’t been able to get out and get a lead,” Sharks defenceman Paul Martin said, “and we’re a different team when we do that.”

Not sure about the whole

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are fired up and ready to take off at a moment’s notice.

You might be surprised by how independent you can be. Although the planets can influence you, you are very much your own person today. Decide what you want, then go for it. Tonight: Relaxed enough to let loose.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might not always share your priorities, yet you are well aware of them. Others don’t know the level of commitment that you have toward your family and circle of friends. You might decide to reveal more of your essence, if you feel it is appropriate. Tonight: Make a fun dinner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your energy remains high. You’ll demonstrate a willingness to adjust to others’ needs. Express your sunny disposition and caring. Others will be delighted to share and open up. A greater sense of belonging emerges between you and them. Tonight: Teamwork pays off.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel more valued than you normally do. You have struggled to develop a better sense of self, and you are starting to feel the effect of your personal work.

Others also see a difference in how you respond. You seem transformed. Tonight: Be willing to express yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll wake up feeling different and far more aware of your surroundings. You seem to have hit your personal power days. You make nearly everything much more doable. Clear out a project or two, but be sure to use this period for your benefit as well.

Tonight: Feel empowered.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Loosen up. You might notice a tendency to take everything personally. Slow down if you start questioning yourself or keep hitting obstacles. Realize that you have pushed too hard and maybe need a break. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. You will need the extra rest soon.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A friendship plays a major role

Tundra

in what is about to happen. You naturally gravitate toward this person. Be more open to the potential possibilities that exist between you. Your sense of humor emerges once more when having an important discussion.

Tonight: Where the crowds are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Understand that you are part of an important project in which everyone looks up to you. You might not hear words of praise from others, but know that they are there in some people’s minds. In any case, recognize that others are observing. Tonight: A must appearance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) At this point, you could take the opportunity to move forward.

You willingly break past preconceived notions and early beliefs.

As you reassess your thinking and choices, you’ll revitalize your perspective. Show off your new sense of well-being. Tonight: Follow the music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you enjoy enormously and who provides un-

usual insights. A close loved one might display some jealousy.

Share your feelings more often in order to keep the peace. This person needs your approval. Tonight: Togetherness works.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Dedicate some extra time to a loved one. You’ll find the interaction to be quite important, as it is likely to revitalize your energy and well-being. This association is critical to your thinking and your choices. Feel indulged, and indulge him or her in return. Tonight: Say “yes.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Dive into your work, and concentrate on your priorities one at a time. The results will give you a sense of satisfaction. You finally might feel as if you have done more of what you have wanted to do. This allows you to flow more easily. Tonight: Be open to a change of scenery.

Cyclists suffer $10,000 loss to bikes after being hit by truck

Garfield

By Jim Davis

C anadian Press

Investigators are appealing for witnesses after a pickup truck hit two cyclists in southern B.C. on the final leg of a 3,000-kilometre Canadian and U.S. tour.

Police say the cyclists are recovering from minor injuries but total damage to their bikes is estimated at more than $10,000.

RCMP say they were taking part in Rob’s Ride when they were hit by a pickup truck on Sunday on Highway 3 west of Grand Forks.

The driver took off, crashed the truck a few kilometres away and was taken to hospital for assessment.

Police warn users about drug more potent than fentanyl C anadian Press

Delta police say drugs seized in raids last March have tested positive for W-18, a drug that’s believed to be 100 time more potent than deadly fentanyl.

Investigators suspect the W-18 was being manufactured to appear like heroin or oxycodone before being sold at the street level, where it poses a much higher and deadly risk of overdose for users.

Delta Chief Constable Neil Dubord says it’s apparent that drug traffickers are aware of the danger because those accused of being involved in manufacturing W-18 were protecting themselves with respirators, gloves and goggles.

Five people are facing multiple charges, and two are in custody.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Dear Annie: I just received a baby shower invitation that makes me feel more like a fundraising target than a loving family member.

I have hosted or attended at least 20 baby showers. There have always been games and prizes. This shower will include a diaper raffle, so that means an “entry fee.” Attendees are excluded from the game if they don’t pony up a package of diapers. They have also asked for a book instead of a card. I am an artist. I always create personal drawings on handmade paper tags as my card, but now I have to get a book. And then, of course, a gift from the baby registry is expected.

This mother-to-be is financially better off than my husband and I, so it’s not as though they can’t afford diapers. It just seems greedy, rude and tacky. If I choose not to participate in the pay-per-play events, I will not only feel left out, but will be viewed as a cheapskate.

I might add that we never received a thankyou note for the $400 wedding gift we sent several years ago. When did it become acceptable for a celebration of new life to become a crowdfunding event? -- Appalled Invitee Dear Appalled: It has never been acceptable, but it hasn’t stopped people from trying. And this one seems particularly demanding -- books, diapers and gifts. Diaper showers have become popular as a way to help the new parents stock up on this particular necessity, especially since the cost is minimal and often considered the shower gift, as well. You are not obligated to do everything that is asked of you. And should you decide to bring a book and diapers, consider the cost of those items to be part of your overall budget for the shower and choose the gift accordingly.

Not receiving a thank-you note for your wedding gift is, sad to say, not uncommon for those brides and grooms who lack consideration for others.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Save Your Feet for the Beach,” whose co-worker likes to walk around the office barefoot and the managers don’t comment. You said the reader should point out that she could pick up all kinds of germs or step on a staple.

The managers would likely have something to say if their workers’ compensation insurance or liability insurance company was aware that anyone, at any time, was without shoes in the office. This is an avoidable hazard and if the co-worker were injured due to being barefoot, the managers would care plenty.

Of course, the reason she goes barefoot is a separate subject. If she needs a second pair of comfortable shoes at the office, she should keep them there and stop putting herself at risk. -- V. Dear V. Thanks for the input. Other readers pointed out that this could be a board of health violation, leading to fines. When you hit the owners or managers in the pocketbook, they tend to pay more attention. No matter how uncomfortable your shoes may be, it is completely inappropriate, unprofessional and dangerous to walk around barefoot in the office. It is not your home. Bring something else to put on your feet.

B.C. treaty negotiation process looks to speed up agreements, set deadlines C anadian Press

VICTORIA - Stalled land-claim treaty talks in British Columbia are about to undergo a series of reforms in an effort to speed negotiations and produce more agreements.

Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad says B.C., the federal government and the First Nations Summit are on a path to negotiate more treaties in less time.

At the current pace of negotiations in B.C., Rustad says it will take 600 years to reach treaty agreements with more than 200 First Nations in the province.

He says the treaty reforms will include negotiation deadlines to reach settlements.

Over 23 years of talks, Rustad says B.C. has spent hundreds of millions of dollars and reached just seven treaties.

Crude oil settles above US$50 a barrel for first time since July 2015 Canadian Press

TORONTO — The price of oil has settled above US$50 a barrel for the first time in nearly a year.

The July benchmark contract for West Texas Intermediate crude closed Tuesday at US$50.36, an increase of 67 cents from the previous day.

That’s the first time oil has settled above the US$50 mark since last July. “$50 is a big psychological hurdle for crude oil, and it’s one that it’s been bumping up against for a couple of weeks now,” said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets Canada.

“To see it break through is very encouraging and suggests that there is enough support to keep carrying crude oil higher.”

In February, oil settled as low as US$26.21 a barrel.

“It’s a pretty spectacular move in a fairly relatively short period of time,” Cieszynski said.

Canada’s economy has been hit hard by a rapid and deep decline in global oil prices that began in late 2014.

Crude prices have gradually risen in recent weeks due to several factors, including the wildfires in Fort McMurray, Alta., which at one point may have taken out as much as half of Canada’s total oilsands production, according to some estimates. Those operations have gradually started to come back online.

One of two Trudeau nannies to be let go Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Come Canada Day, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s family will be down to one nanny.

A new cabinet decision shows that Marylou Trayvilla, who had worked for the family before Trudeau became prime minister, will be off the public payroll on July 1. The notice gives no reason for the dismissal.

Trayvilla was one of two nannies hired as special assistants under the Official Residences Act to watch the three Trudeau children and provide other duties around the prime minister’s official residence.

The duo were each paid between $15-$20 an hour during the day and $11-$13 at night, a fee nanny associations previously said reflects the average rate.

The prime minister came under fire for the hires, considering how he criticized the previous Conservative government for a universal child care benefit that went to wealthy families who didn’t need help paying for child care, his own family included.

Trudeau’s office insisted the two nannies didn’t increase the budget for the prime minister’s residence, and supporters pointed to a similar arrangement when Brian Mulroney was prime minister with a young brood.

The Trudeaus even poked fun at the affair during the annual parliamentary press gallery dinner on the weekend.

NEWS Campfire regulations in effect throughout province The Free Press

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations have released regula-

tions regarding campfires as warmer temperatures have more people venturing outside.

A campfire can be no larger than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide and must never be left unattended.

Regulations stipulate that either eight litres of water or a shovel be nearby to extinguish the fire, and a firebreak

created by scraping down to the dirt one metre, must surround the fire. Finally, before leaving the area, the

campfire must be fully extinguished and the ashes must be cool to the touch.

Anyone violating

campfire regulations may be subject to a fine of $1,150.

A solid 4-star resort (though I believe the brochures list it as a 4.5 star). It works well for families, couples and singles. The food and service are exceptional.

The beach is a beautiful stretch that is great for walking, playing in the water or relaxing under a palm tree with your favorite beverage.

In Puerto Vallarta you will find more than one way of recharging your batteries, since there are hundreds of choices for recreation such as golfing, surfing, diving, snorkeling, fishing, jet skis and boat rides around the bay.

For those who enjoy a rush of adrenaline, there is bungee jumping, parachute rides or ziplining.

The best way to enjoy Puerto Vallarta is to wander through Viejo Vallarta (Old Vallarta) with traditional cobblestone streets, wroughtiron balconies and red tiled roofs. Walk along the beautiful Malecon to explore shops, galleries and restaurants. For night owls, be sure to enjoy the many bars and nightclubs!

Filled with nature, culture, tradition, the beautiful Pacific Ocean,
