Heat save the day, hosting U-16 Provincials TAYLOR ROCCA Sports Editor

Without a host site for its 2016 U16C Provincial Championship, Softball BC was desperate.

Then the Cranbrook Heat stepped to the plate.

A year after not even having a U16 girls softball team, Cranbrook will welcome the rest of B.C. for a 16-team provincial tournament, scheduled for July 1 to 3 at the Kinsmen Quad Ballparks.

“It’s so awesome, the girls

are so excited because they get to play at home,” said Teralie McCormack, tournament coordinator for the U16C Provincial Championship, Tuesday morning.

“The girls are pumped.

They’re so excited.”

Typically, decisions on host sites are made well in advance of provincial tournaments of this size. As recently as March, Softball BC was still without a host site for its U16C Provincial Softball Championship, leaving

very little time to not only drum up a host but allow fair time for proper organization and preparation in order to produce a quality event.

Headed up by McCormack, the Heat submitted a bid during the first week of April to host the provincial

tournament. In quick order, Softball BC accepted the bid and tossed a great deal of financial support behind the event in order to help get it off the ground.

RDEK backs new composting plant near Cranbrook TRE VOR CR AWL EY

The RDEK gave third reading to a rezoning bylaw in support of a company hoping to set up a composting business out towards Mayook just off Highway 3.

The RDEK vote came after a public hearing where some neighbouring property owners voiced their opposition to the business,

however, the concept of composting was something that many RDEK board directors supported during the discussion.

“The fact that we should compost some of this organic material is something that we’ve known,” said RDEK board chair Rob Gay.

Chautauqua: Let the bells of edification ring F o r t h e To w n s m a n

Step back in time to the early 1900s of Cranbrook.

Come join the fun at Miss Melodie’s School for Fine Young Ladies, 1905, as they throw open the doors to the public for Chautauqua.

This is a free event of entertainment and edification following the Sam Steele Days Parade on June 18, 1 – 4 p.m. Families are more than welcome!

Cranbrook Community Theatre is proud to present Chautauqua under the guise of a 1900s finishing school for the daughters of the fine families of Cranbrook and parts nearby.

Imagine the daughters of the Galbraith, Baker and Fernie families in attendance learning all sorts of etiquette and cookery and other skills that fine housewives of the day might need.

Following Edwardian style and Chautauqua tradition, this Sam Steele Days heritage event offers history, culture, musical entertainment, short skits, magic, fortune telling and much, much more.

Performers range in ages from five years old to 95!

100 per cent local talent! It’s lots of fun!

Chautauquas and Tent

Check out the edification and entertainment at Chautauqua, Miss Melodie’s School For Fine Young Ladies, this Sam Steele Saturday at the Studio Stage Door.

Chautauquas were popular from the 1880s until approximately 1920. They were travelling shows pro-

viding entertainment and edification (education) to the towns of the West, the Wild West, the Gold Rush

and various other burgeoning small towns and villages. Primarily they brought news of politics, science

and discovery, new inventions and they brought an element of culture to the people scattered across the

country.

For example, a Chautauqua might introduce people to the new invention of the telephone or give a report from the hallowed halls of Ottawa. An opera singer might perform, or a classical pianist. As Chautauquas travelled, they picked up and lost local talent, too.

Perhaps a jig dancer or accordionist would join in one small town but by the third or fourth town, bow out and return home to take in the crops or recommence teaching the school year.

Chautauqua is open to the public, free, from 1 – 4 pm on Saturday, June 18th .

This is a drop in event… come for a short time or as long as you like. Bring the family. Refreshments are available for a small price.

They include a slice of fresh berry pie or a glass of homemade, old-style sweet tea, thanks to our sponsors Nanny’s Cupboard & Teahouse and Auntie Barb’s Bakery.

This event is co-sponsored by the Sam Steele Society, produced and directed by Melodie Hull. Chautauqua is a Cranbrook Community Theatre event.

Robotics team takes bronze in New Brunswick Bar ry Co ulter

The Masters of Robots are back, having matched robotic skills with the nation’s best.

The Mount Baker Secondary School Robotics Team recently returned from the Canada-Wide Skills Competition in Moncton, New Brunswick, where their robots faced off against teams from nine other provinces and territories.

Conor Dickeson, Thomas Keehn, Ryley Holliday and Traycer Walker, under the direction of instructor Bill Walker, came home from Nationals with the Bronze medal.

Earlier in the spring, the team won Gold at the BC competition.

The actual competition features a closed off course with obstacles and parts littered inside. The robots, controlled by a driver, must collect the parts and build a wooden boat in under four minutes.

Teams advance on a points-based scoring system.

Pictured in background are Mayor Lee Pratt and Councillor Tom Shypitka. competition has a number or rules that the ‘bots must adhere to, such as being smaller than six cubic feet. The Mount Baker ‘bots are

powered by 12-volt DC batteries and can’t exceed 240 watts.

In addition to Walker, the students also get support from John Mil-

ner, a local machinist.

The students work from the start of the fall semester to build their robots for the Skills Canada competition.

Walker does his recruiting in September to find students that would be interested in participating and then they plan out their builds.

Three of the team members (minus Traycer Walker) appeared at Cranbrook City Hall for Monday night’s regular Council meeting, to

give a demonstration of the boat-building competition. Council presented them with certificates marking their achievement.

RDEK supports new composting facility Continued from page 1 “People do it in their backyard with composters, so we actually directed staff—it’s on our program this year to do some trials ourselves.

“But it was mentioned that we’re kind of behind it, we haven’t done it and we don’t have a commercial operator in our area, so EarthRite has been working quite hard to do this.”

Fourteen people attended a public hearing on May 26 to provide feedback, while letters were also submitted to the RDEK for consideration.

Opposition included concerns on the smell, wildlife attractants, highway traffic safety and the impact to land values on neighbouring properties.

“There is some opposition to this and most of the opposition was around the unknown around the water, which is

valid,” continued Gay, “but in his operational plan, it’s going to be done on an impervious surface, he’ll pave a spot, but water will wash off that and snowmelt.

“I think under the regulation, he’ll have to put in some test wells to see if water is going at depth, so there’s lots more he’ll have to do.”

Under the rezoning bylaw, which is Industrial and Light Industrial, permitted uses include: • Commercial compost facility.

• Soil Blending and sales.

• Retail farm and garden centre.

• Tire recycling facility.

• Grading, washing, screening, crushing and transporting of sand and gravel resources extracted from the parcel.

• Collection and processing of wood waste material.

Military Ames gets FACTS grant for cenotaph You Need to Know About…

With

MLA,

Bill Bennett The province will be providing $50,000 in funding to support a conference on healthy aging for seniors, hosted by the Council of Senior Citizens’ Organizations (COSCO) of BC.

C AROLYN GRANT

Military Ames, the veterans camaraderie group, has been notified by Veterans Affairs Canada that they have been successful in obtaining a $25,000 grant to assist with the restoration of the Kimberley Cenotaph.

The grant will assist with moving and rebuilding the cenotaph and will be matched by funds from the City of Kimberley.

However, fund raising is ongoing for the cenotaph site, which will be known as Kimberley Veterans’ Memorial Park. The Park will be located downtown on the former Bavarian Esso site.

Group facilitator Cindy Postnikoff says that now that the grant has been secured, it’s full steam ahead.

“We are now waiting for our surveyor to deliver his report on the site to the engineer,” she said. “We are expecting that this week. Then we’ll come up with a plan and look at hiring a general contractor.”

The new monument has been ordered and parts of the existing cenotaph will be incorporated into it.

“Now we need to raise funds for the park” Postnikoff said.

The plan is to have sidewalks around the perimeter and then a slope into the park. This will eliminate the need for a retaining wall.

Memorial benches will be sold and Postnikoff says there has been a good response to the benches.

“We are also getting a good response from contractors. We’ve had a lot of offers for in kind services or very good rates.”

There is a fund set up at Kootenay Savings Credit Union where donations can be made payable to Military Ames.

The next big fundraising event is an all weekend long flea market in the credit union parking lot JulyFest weekend.

Also watch for a Military Ames float during the JulyFest parade and fund raising at the bocce pits.

Military Ames plans to have the cenotaph erected on the new site by Remembrance Day 2016. Work on the park will be ongoing as funds are raised.

The conference is scheduled to take place on September 25-26 in Richmond, and will host organizations and representatives from all over the province. Full details are available at www.coscobc.org. Regionally, the Forever Young Senior’s Expo will be taking place in Cranbrook, on October 1 at the Heritage Inn.

Officers take police mountain bike training For the Townsman

Last week, four RCMP officers (two from Kimberley, two from Cranbrook) took part in Police Mountain Bike Training. The course, which takes place over several days, covers a wide variety of topics associated to cycling.

Proper equipment, bike fit and operation start the week off. A time trial is done to ensure the candidates are fit and ready for the physical challenges. A lot of time is spent on traffic safety and the rules of the road, this ensures officers can safely negotiate through heavy traffic and educate others.

Once officers are confident in overcoming obstacles such as stairs and other barriers they move on to police tactics. Dealing with subjects and pulling over vehicles on bike is considerably different

than doing it in a marked fully equipped police vehicle. Safety is very important, as you don’t have a vehicle to utilize. Officers also underwent a stress shoot, where they cycled hard and fast for 1 km then with an elevated heart rate go through a course of fire as a directed.

“The bike patrols are very effective particularly in heavily populated areas. Subjects generally do not hear a bike approach and they are caught before they realize it”. Cpl Chris Newel, instructor, “The officers on bike patrol intact more with the public because they are more approachable making them a great community policing initiative”.

Although bikes can be used throughout the season, they are most often seen during Sam Steele Days in Cranbrook and Julyfest in Kimberley.

Mother grizzly bear with two cubs. Limited entry hunting for adult grizzlies is permitted in B.C. where populations support it.

Grizzly increase rejected in hunting regs Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has released its hunting and trapping regulations book for the next two years, after refusing a recommendation to increase the number of limited entry hunting

permits for grizzly bears.

A proposal to increase the limited entry hunt for grizzly bears in the Peace River region (wildlife management unit 7-52) was not approved. The proposal would have allowed the regional manager to au-

thorize up to 150 grizzly tags in the annual lottery.

The regulation remains a maximum of 50 limited entry hunting opportunities per year, with an average of eight bears killed each year by licensed hunters, four

by resident and four by non-resident hunters.

The current population of grizzly bears in the region is estimated at 459, with annual allowable mortality of 26.

It is the largest grizzly population in the province.

Kokanee restocking efforts show promise Province launches detailed recovery plan for Kootenay Lake

For the Townsman

NELSON — Following reports of a high survival rate for kokanee eggs planted into the Kootenay Lake spawning channel at Meadow creek and additional fry releases, the Province has launched a comprehensive action plan to guide the ongoing recovery of local kokanee stocks, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson announced Tuesday.

Kokanee are landlocked sockeye salmon and are second only to rainbow trout as the most popular game fish in B.C. As part of ongoing recovery efforts, provincial biologists released more than half a million

kokanee fry this spring and more than 90 per cent of the half a million eggs planted into the Meadow Creek spawning channel in the fall have now emerged as fry and entered Kootenay Lake.

Meanwhile, the Province released the Kootenay Lake Action Plan, which calls for enhanced monitoring, aggressive restocking, ongoing angling closures and an expansion of the nutrient restoration program.

The plan — which will be presented at a public meeting in Balfour on Thursday — was developed under the direction of an expert advisory panel, and with the support of local First Nations, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC

and the BC Wildlife Federation.

Last fall, provincial biologists counted 18,000 spawning kokanee in main body of Kootenay Lake and its tributaries, the lowest number since the annual count started in the

1964. In response, the Province initiated an aggressive restocking program, extended the nutrient restoration program and changed fishing regulations to decrease Kokanee harvest and increase Gerrard trout harvest.

One change made for this year is addition of January limited entry hunt opportunities for bison in the Liard region in northern B.C. The Pink Mountain plains bison herd supports a popular lottery hunt from October to December, with about 10,000 applications each year.

The new open season would not increase the total number of bison taken, but shift some of the hunting pressure to the northern zone. Currently there are 126 tags issued for the hunt each year.

Other changes include: • Limited entry hunting for California bighorn sheep is closed in

two areas of the Similkameen, management units 8-02 and 8-07.

After the hunt was opened in 2010, aerial and ground surveys have identified fewer than 75 animals in the region.

• Limited entry hunting is open for up to seven mountain goats in the Mount Brewster area of the Peace region.

Mountain goat hunting has been closed in the Wapiti Mountain area of the Peace, and the Nadina Mountain, Nanika Mountain and Atna River areas of the Skeena region.

• A new limited entry hunt is authorized for up to 20 antlerless elk in the Princeton area, where ranchers have ex-

perienced significant crop and fence damage in recent years.

• New limited entry hunts are being opened for bull moose in Okanagan management units 8-02, 8-13 and 8-26, where populations are considered sufficient to support the hunt.

• Compulsory inspection of moose shot has been required in Skeena management units 6-19 to 6-25, with restriction to harvesting bull moose only in some areas.

Howe’s ‘glow never dimmed’ G

ordie Howe had completed his eighth season as a Detroit Red Wing before I was born. It would be another 10 years before he became a hero to me, an idol whose glow never dimmed until he died, coincidentally, on my birthday.

The first thing that struck me when I heard the news, after a twinge of sadness, was the timing of his death and that of Muhammad Ali. Howe and Ali were among the pantheon of sports giants in my early years. Hockey was the sport in our home, and with my dad and I the only males, we rarely missed Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday nights and, later, the Wednesday NHL games that were telecast, but starting well into the first period to accommodate the evening news.

For some inexplicable reason, dad had an interest in boxing, so I followed along, at first sharing his disgust for the upstart Cassius Clay cum Muhammad Ali. Braggarts in sport were not to be tolerated and neither were acts of non-conservatism. We took the boxer’s refusal to honour his draft card as a profound act of cowardice and disrespect. Eventually I would come around to admire his skill and artistry, and agree with some of his politics. My father did not.

There was no need to make any shift in how I felt about Gordie Howe. We bled Maple Leaf blue blood, but never was a bad word spoken about Howe, the ultimate hockey player. Humble and remarkably articulate despite his lack of education, he was simply not an easy man to dislike, even when he led his team to victo-

ry over our beloved Leafs.

A little story of being a young hockey fan has always stayed with me. My dad and I occasionally took in Western Hockey League games in the Stampede Corral to watch the hometown Stampeders play. I was probably nine years old when I took my new autograph book to a game and rushed down to get the signature of my then-favourite Stampeder, Lou Jankowski. He had a marginally successLorne short, ful NHL career in the Eckersley 1950s, but in the WHL in the early 1960s he was a dominant scorer. Along with a few other kids, I lined up to get his autograph as players came off the ice at the end of the game. Jankowski brushed passed me, ignoring my proffered book and pen. My face must have showed my disappointment, because the team’s captain, Norm Johnson, stopped and asked if I would like him to sign my book. He became my favourite player.

A year later, shortly after I turned 10, Gordie Howe was the Calgary Stampede parade marshal and I was with my dad among the throngs lining the route. Autograph book in hand, I ran out to the convertible that Howe was sitting atop. He was signing autographs as fast as he could, and I was one of the lucky kids who came away with the treasured, and very legible, signature.

That act of kindness wasn’t enough to turn me into a Red Wing fan, but it made Gordie a hero in my eyes. I followed his career with enthusiasm and thrilled when he returned to the game when the World LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hockey Association was formed. It took me a year or two before I could finally admit that the young Bobby Orr might possibly be the better player.

Gordie Howe was no saint on the ice, as countless players who took one of those famed elbows to the chin would attest. But he was a brilliant ambassador for the game he loved. As I read through articles following his death last week, I found myself smiling at a story about a young fan being rebuffed in his request of an autograph by goalie Terry Sawchuck. Howe threatened to break his arms and legs if he didn’t sign the kid’s book, and the kid got the signature he was looking for. That kid would grow up and become Gordie’s closest friend.

I think that we have lost a lot in not really having sports heroes as kids. And I am talking about athletes who understood the good they can do with their talents. For Gordie Howe, it was about being gracious and thoughtful and genuinely appreciative of what the sport he loved gave him, even if his employers took advantage of his naivety, even beyond the early years. Ali risked his entire career to stand up against a war he believed to be wrong, and eventually his detractors came around to understand the meaning of courage to bump up against prevailing thought.

I have rarely had any desire to meet famous people, understanding that public and private personas can be entirely different. But there are none I would have liked to have had a beer with more than Gordie Howe.

Hot Hot Heat: Cranbrook saves day, will host provincial softball championship Cranbrook Heat step to plate with Softball BC searching for U16C provincial host site; tournament set for July 1 to 3 Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Without a host site for its 2016 U16C Provincial Championship, Softball BC was desperate.

Then the Cranbrook Heat stepped to the plate.

A year after not even having a U16 girls softball team, Cranbrook will welcome the rest of British Columbia for a 16-team provincial tournament, scheduled for July 1 to 3 at the Kinsmen Quad Ballparks.

“It’s so awesome, the girls are so excited because they get to play at home,” said Teralie McCormack, tournament coordinator for the U16C Provincial Champion-

ship, Tuesday morning.

“The girls are pumped. They’re so excited.”

With Cranbrook tucked in the southeast corner of the province, there is no shortage of well-documented chal-

lenges when it comes to competitive, high-end minor sports, especially minor girls softball.

To this point in 2016, the nearest competition has required the Heat to travel to Red Deer and Kelowna, with the only available local houseleague competition

On May 15, 2016, we raised over

$900,000!

Thank you to our volunteers, ƉĂƌƟĐŝƉĂŶƚƐ͕ ĚŽŶŽƌƐ͕ ĂŶĚ ƐƉŽŶƐŽƌƐ ǁŚŽ ũŽŝŶĞĚ ƚŚĞ ĮŐŚƚ ƚŽ ĞŶĚ D^͘

coming in the form of the U14 squad.

That isn’t exactly fair to the U14s and certainly does not provide ample challenge for the older and more physically mature U16 crew.

“Because we live so far away from everything, [the provincial championship] is one of the tournaments we count on,” said McCormack, whose daughter Brea pitches for the Heat.

“We applied the first week of April. We phoned our district representative… She told us Softball BC was desperate. They don’t want to have to cancel it.”

Typically, decisions on host sites are made well in advance of provincial tournaments of this size. As recently as March, Softball BC was still without a host site for its U16C Provincial Softball Championship, leaving very little time to not only drum up a host but allow fair time for proper organization and preparation in order to produce a quality event.

Headed up by McCormack, the Heat’s bid to host the provincial tournament was promptly accepted by Softball BC. In quick order, the provincial governing body for softball also tossed a great deal of financial support behind the event in order to help get it off the ground.

“It’s kind of been a gongshow from there,”

Teralie McCormack Photo

The Cranbrook U16 Heat burned through round-robin action in Red Deer this past weekend, going 3-1 en route to claiming the tournament championship by defeating the host Red Deer squad by a 12-2 margin. During round-robin play, pitcher Brea McCormack tossed a no-hitter, striking out 11 batters while only walking two. Having struck success away from home, the Heat are looking forward to hosting the province when they welcome teams for the 2016 Softball BC U16C Championship from July 1 to 3 at the Kinsmen Quad Ballparks in Cranbrook. The Heat are: back row (L to R): Coach Barry McCormack, Jayden Perpelitz, Sarah Schieman, Chayne Plaza, Brea McCormack, Ryleigh Pocha, Coach Niki Giesbrecht; front row (L to R): Georgia Wurzer, Victoria Pinchak, Ali Giesbrecht, Madison Amy, Skylar Bell.

McCormack said with a laugh. “Normally you apply for this bid in October of the previous year. We’ve been kind of scrambling because there are certain things under Softball BC regulations that we have to perform as hosts of this tournament.”

Tournaments hosts are required to provide facilities for, obviously,

game play, but also for events such as pre-tournament coaches meetings and athlete meals.

Additionally, it is expected that hosts will provide all participants with commemorative t-shirts, an extracurricular group activity outside of tournament play for athletes (skills competition, home run derby, relay competition, scavenger

hunt, etc.) and have printed programs on hand for spectators.

And that is just to list a few of the extensive requirements, of which each item can require extensive planning, resources and volunteer hours to pull together.

Softball BC has offered to cover the costs of umpires and equipment such as softballs for the

weekend, an expense typically incurred by the host. The City of Cranbrook has provided use of the fields at Kinsmen Quad Ballparks as a part of the Heat’s minor ball registration and is on board to provide support in terms of facility staff.

KEYSA U-12 girls claim bronze in Lethbridge For The Townsman

The KEYSA Rovers attended the Lethbridge Chinook Cup this past weekend, with the U-12 Girls winning three out of four matches, earning bronze medals for their tournament play.

“We are very proud of how the girls played throughout the weekend,” said Jason Wheeldon, head coach of the U-12 Girls. “They dug in

hard against teams that were bigger and pulled some great victories in heavily matched competition play.”

The U-12 girls played against Calgary MUSC in their first match and played a defensive game, shutting out the opposition by a 2-0 final score.

The second match was against the Calgary WHU HEAT — a great even-strength game

throughout the first half with a score of 2-2. The second half saw the Heat catch a lucky opportunity with two minutes left in the game to pull ahead for the 3-2 victory.

The Rovers played the Lethbridge Tornadoes on Sunday morning, claiming an easy victory to advance to the bronze medal game.

The bronze medal game was the most excit-

ing for spectators as the Rovers played against Coaldale, Alta. The first half the Rovers were down 2-1. In the beginning of the second half, the Rovers changed the face of the game. After tying the game, only mere minutes elapsed before KEYSA struck again to take a 3-2 lead.

But Coaldale answered the bell, tying the game 3-3 shortly after.

Play continued and both teams scored again, moving the score to 4-4. Only minutes left to play with fast action on the field by both teams and no one could break the tie. Regulation time ended and the game went to a shootout — the first for this young team and they held to true form and successfully won the shootout.

Heat will welcome province for softball championship “From the City’s perspective, we’re always happy when any of our sport groups or service clubs come together and bring activities to our community,” said Chris New, director of leisure services for the City of Cranbrook, on Tuesday.

“Anytime the community initiates these type of projects, we certainly try to support them as best we can.

“We hope a lot of these people, it’s their first time [visiting Cranbrook], they’re coming here and discovering us.

So they’re seeing the beautiful setting we have, the beautiful city we have and we hope those folks end up being future tourists, maybe future residents. It’s just another opportunity to showcase everything we have here.”

CONTINUED from page 8 Bridge Interiors and Rick’s Fine Meats & Sausage have combined forces to host a car wash and barbecue fundraiser (June 25, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Bridge Interiors) for the event. Bridge Interior is also providing use of its outdoor tents for the course of the tournament.

The Cranbrook Mixed Slo-Pitch Association donated the use of its field maintenance equipment, which typically comes with an associated rental fee.

That’s just to name a few of the local groups throwing support behind the event, with plenty of others in line to pitch in over the coming weeks.

“The community support has been unreal considering how quick-

ly we’ve had to put this together,” McCormack said. “It’s been wonderful.”

When 16 teams finally arrive for the provincial championship in July, they will go headto-head in a round-robin tournament format, with each team guaranteed a minimum of four games. Playoff structure is still to be determined.

Games are tentatively scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. on Friday, July 1, and run all day at the Kinsmen Quad Ballparks. Saturday, July 2, round-robin action will resume at 8 a.m., after which there will be a break as playoff schedules are determined.

Playoff competition will start the afternoon of July 2, with July 3 serving as champion-

ship Sunday.

While the event is coming together in lightning-quick fashion, there is still plenty to be done between now and July 1.

Qualifier playdowns are still on-going throughout the province, with six teams having registered as of print deadline Tuesday.

The Heat are still in need of volunteers for the tournament, particularly when it comes to scorekeeping and field maintenance. Anyone interested in volunteering their services or time is encouraged to contact McCormack via email (bbat@shaw.ca) or phone (778-517-4527).

The Cranbrook Heat won the 2013 U16C Provincial Championship, which was hosted in Salmo.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week of June 12 - 18, 1905, 1905 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1904 Talk of new opera house ... There is some talk of a company being formed to build a new opera house in Cranbrook. A building of this kind is badly needed in this town, as the growth of the place the past two or three years has rendered the present hall too small for the large crowds that generally congregate, And with a more modern hall it will be possible to secure a better class of entertainments than are coming to the town now. The hall that has been in use since the town started has answered the purpose in the past, and Messrs. Shelton and Clapp are doing all in their power to make up for the deficiency by extra exertion to accommodate the public, but they cannot perform the impossible.

Lawn social … The Ladies Aid of the Methodist church will hold a lawn party, at the resi-

dence of W. T. Reid, on Wednesday June 22, at 8 o’clock. Admission 10 cents; strawberries and cake 20 cents; ice cream and cake 15 Cents. All are cordially invited.

Great weather … The banana weather has taken full possession of this district and the air is as balmy as can be found beneath the skies of Italy. Children are happy, adults are content and vegetation is prolific in its growth. Nowhere on the face of this glorious earth, can there be found a better, climate than that of the banana belt of South East Kootenay.

A first ciass restaurant ... Charles Estes has fitted up a restaurant on Armstrong avenue that is as neat and complete in all its equipment as could be found in any city. The short order bill of fare is a most elaborate one, including as it does all the best things that the market affords in season. His dining room

and kitchen are perfect in detail, while all his meats are taken care of in a specially prepared refrigerator The display window is changed twice a day and already the appetizing display of fruits, vegetables and choice cuts have caused considerable favorable comment. A restaurant like this, operated on the right lines, will prove a paying proposition in Cranbrook. And it is Mr. Estes’ intention to serve short orders and six o’clock dinners, the latter to be given for 50 cents each. It will be possible for anyone to have a meal sent out at any time to their room or their home. Mr. Estes will also cater for parties, dances, etc.

Lockup needed …

Some miscreant with devilish heart and malice in his mind cut and slashed the side of a valuable cow belonging to Fred Dumont one day recently. The individual who would be guilty of such a dastardly act should be given a term in the bastille that would serve as a warning for a long time to come.

1905 A favorite piano ... J. G. Whiteacre, western manager or the Mason & Risch piano, and C. W. Jones general agent, have been in town the

Cranbrook is ably assisting June in maintaining her reputation as the banner month for weddings. past week delivering several of those favorite pianos. Ever since the town of Cranbrook started the Mason & Risch piano has been the leading seller in this town, and at the present time three fourths of the Pianos in Cranbrook have

been furnished by that firm. The British Columbia depot is at Nelson, where a large stock of the pianos are kept on hand.

Marconi wireless on Kootenay Lake ... The exhibition given last Sunday by George H.

Munroe and the Marconi experts on Kootenay Lake was an unqualified success. The launch Pioneer was chartered for the day and equipped with the necessary apparatus. A land station was established at the Nelson boat club house, and continuous communication was maintained throughout several hours between the ship and the shore. One very entertaining experiment was tried which resulted in the Pioneer communicating directly with Rossland. When the messages were coming in from the launch the central telephone office in Rossland was called up on the telephone at the club house and by this means the tick of the receiver was distinctly heard in Rossland and the message taken down by an operator.

Tenders wanted …

Up to noon on Friday, June 23rd, 1905, by the undersigned for moving the present Presbyterian Church building to the rear of the lot. Also for the construction of a new church building according to plans and specifications, to be seen at Mr. McCallum’s hardware store. Lowest or any tender not necessarily accepted. J. G. McCallum, Chairman Building Com.

Four months at Nelson ... Frederick Beck was conducted to Nelson on Monday by Constable Morris to the government house of solitude and isolation, where he will have ample time to ponder on the manly, upright, strenuous life, and to let his mind form good resolutions to guide his future behavior. Frederick was foolish enough to steal a coat from W. D. Hill’s residence last week, was promptly locked up by R. S. Baron, and after a short trial sentenced to spend four months in the Nelson gaol by Magistrate Armstrong.

Many weddings …

Cranbrook is ably assisting June in maintaining her reputation as the banner month for weddings. Already half a dozen couples have been mixed up in the matrimonial meshes, and Dame Rumor has others slated to depart from the state of single blessedness.

Get control … We daily hear remarks about young lads in this place who need the strong curb. It is quite true, they need it badly. And there are a few girls along in their teens who follow their own sweet will to no good ultimate end upon whom the hand of parental restriction should fall heavily.

Seen speeding … A man with a jag, a team of horses and an ambition to make the Ringling chariot race look like a dog-cart procession, treated the inhabitants of lower Baker street to a few minutes of thrilling runaway excitement Sunday evening. By a miracle no serious injury resulted.

On the hot seat …

Sunday evening, while Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Morris were entertaining a few friends, the lounge upon which R. S. Baron was sitting was suddenly noticed to be in flames.

With difficulty it was carried out of the house, and with the exception of a table cover being burned little further damage was done.

Want to play ball ...

The barbers of Cranbrook are possessed with the idea that they are ball players and they ask the Herald to issue a challenge to the clerks, to meet in battle array within the next few days.

The barbers will have a strong pull, but the clerks weigh up pretty well.

Flood risk fades, dry summer more likely in B.C. J e f f N ag e l Black Press

Spring flooding along rivers in B.C. now appears unlikely, but there’s a growing threat that much of the province may be in for another dangerously dry summer.

That’s the indication from the latest measurements posted by B.C.’s River Forecast Centre.

As of June 1, B.C.’s alpine snowpacks were at 23 per cent of normal for that time of year – a record low.

A warmer than normal May caused the snowpack to melt off very rapidly.

“Current snow conditions are more typical of late June or early July,” the forecast centre’s latest bulletin said, resulting in many rivers reaching flow conditions that are three to four weeks ahead of usual.

“Most rivers have likely experienced their peak levels for the year, unless an extreme rainfall event occurs in June or early July,” the bulletin said.

Preliminary data for the Fraser River at Hope shows the river flow peaked at 6,130 cubic metres per second on May 8.

That date is the earliest on record that the lower Fraser has peaked and it’s also the second lowest peak flow on record. Normally the Fraser peaks in mid-June.

Fishery biologists have already sounded a warning that low streamflow conditions could create particularly challenging water conditions for salmon returning to spawn.

June has so far seen cooler temperatures and moderate rainfall.

The forecast centre says below normal stream flows are likely across B.C. this summer if there’s near-normal precipitation for the rest of the spring and summer.

Last year’s severe drought triggered extreme water sprinkling restrictions in the Lower Mainland, as well as angling closures and heightened risk of forest fires across much of the province.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Reach out to a friend whom you care a lot about. You could be pleasantly surprised by this person’s mood. You’ll discover how easygoing he or she can be.

Maintain a sense of humor when dealing with a mix-up involving a close friend. Tonight: Only where you want to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your playfulness adds to your charm. Others enjoy this childlike quality in you and often can’t get enough of it. Keep your sense of humor when being teased. Every once in a while, someone hits too close to home.

Tonight: Catch up on what you

didn’t do the past few days.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to consider your options a little more carefully than you have in the recent past.

Your immense creativity and resourceful imagination are at their peak. As a result, you can come up with many different ways to the same end. Tonight: Once more, let your mind wander.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be in a position where you want to view a situation from a different perspective. Be open to someone’s feedback. Up until now, you might have closed this person off. You will need some time to reflect on what is happening around you. Tonight: Happiest close to home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might try to explain where you are coming from, but others will be so in their own heads that they will barely hear you. Know that some of today’s conversations will need to be repeated.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more in tune with a situation than you originally thought possible. You are likely to be ecstatic on some level and also somewhat concerned. Trust that you will know how to handle balancing your different feelings. Tonight: Let go of a money issue, at least for now.

Know that your innate cynicism might be emerging. Tonight: Go for what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are likely to give 100 percent effort to what you want to have happen, but it still might not play out the way you would like it to. Make it OK if events aren’t falling into place as hoped; there could be a very good reason. Tonight: Take a night for yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in a wonderful place, as you have been able to

detach from what makes you upset. You have the ability to move past many problems. If you have resisted working through these issues, know that the time has come to deal with them. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to those whom you know you work well with. The interaction could be very powerful and creative. Consider your options before you launch into action. Understanding evolves to a new level because of your commitment to excellence. Tonight: Call the shots.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your detachment could be extraordinary yet difficult for some people to handle at times. When you show up being as emotional and sensitive as you presently are, others tend to be reactive.

They do not always understand this behavior. Tonight: Make an important call.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Dear Annie: I’ve seen several doctors recently, and each time I noticed that they gave a lot of information so quickly that I could not absorb it all, nor could I remember it entirely.

I also received written instructions after a recent surgery, but those weren’t particularly good, either. Part of the instructions included a form that was filled out by the doctor, whose handwriting I had difficulty reading.

Ideally, all information would be typed up and handed to the patient. Granted, it takes time for someone to do this, but it’s the patients’ health we are dealing with. If the doctor refuses to provide this, I suggest bringing a voice recorder. Turn it on when you’re told “the doctor will see you shortly,” and make sure the doctor speaks clearly. Ask them to repeat anything if you don’t think it came across. Ask the doctor to explain medical terms that are used routinely, but that you may not understand.

Are there any legal issues involved in doing this? Of course, doctors should be informed that they are being recorded. -- Get It Right Dear Get: If you are recording the doctor’s instructions for your personal and private use, there should be no objection -- legal or otherwise. But most doctors have computerized systems, and in many instances, test results and instructions can be sent to patients via email. Ask your doctor about this.

Hospitals also should be handing you typed post-surgical instructions. Of course, it is important to read through everything and to call your doctor if you do not understand something. Too many patients are reluctant to phone or email their doctor, because they don’t want to be a nuisance. But it is important to be proactive about your health care.

Doctors don’t want you to misinterpret their instructions, either.

Dear Annie: I don’t enjoy going to movies any longer. Why? Because anything rated PG-13 and up is usually laced with gross profanity. I simply don’t enjoy listening to this kind of language.

I recently agreed to accompany my husband to a movie that received good reviews and starred two well-known actors. When I left the theater, I was convinced that the writers of this movie must have not gone further than the fourth grade. Nearly every sentence had the f-word. Are these writers so limited in their knowledge of our language and vocabulary? All of that profanity distracted from what could have been an interesting movie.

We have become desensitized to all the profanity around us. I’d love to see a sophisticated film for adults that doesn’t offend my ears. Am I the only one who feels this way?

-- No Movies for Me Dear No: We can assure you that others find the vulgar language (not to mention the gratuitous violence and sex) equally objectionable. There are movies that do not pander to the lowest common denominator. You can look online for various websites that list clean-language films, some of which may also be sophisticated adult films.

She was a caring and loving mom and will be sorely missed by her three children Brett, Nicole and Scott. Her grandson Asher was the light of her life, her little Asherman. She will also be missed by her beloved, loyal Newfoundlander Jake.

Debbie was an excellent barber and had many loyal clients whom she thought of more as friends. Deb loved the simple things in life like spending time outdoors camping, fishing and puttering in her beautiful garden. We will miss her warm smile, little giggle, big heart and her easy-going nature.

We would like to thank all the wonderful and caring doctors, nurses and staff at the Southern Interior Cancer Centre, as well as the Central Okanagan Hospice House. A special thank you to Dr. Diana Imrie, whom Debbie thought of more like a girlfriend than her family physician.

Debbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ashes will be taken to Eager Hill in Cranbrook where she will be reunited with her father and brother. Here she will be enjoying the view of the three mountain ranges with a glass of white wine and a cigarette in her hand listening to Pearl Jam. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to miss ya kiddo!

As per Debâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, there will not be a service, but in lieu of flowers please send any donations to the Central Okanagan Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, B.C., V1Y 2Z6.

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Generations of aspiring guitarists have tried to copy the riff from Led Zeppelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stairway to Heaven.â&#x20AC;?

Starting on Tuesday, a Los Angeles court will try to decide whether the members of Led Zeppelin themselves ripped off the riff.

The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant are named as defendants in the lawsuit brought by the trustee of guitarist Randy Wolfe from the band Spirit. Attorneys for the trustee contend that 1971â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stairway to Heavenâ&#x20AC;? copies music from the Spirit song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taurus,â&#x20AC;? which Wolfe wrote in either 1966 or 1967. Wolfe died in 1997, drowning while saving his son in Hawaii.

Page, Plant and their bandmate John Paul Jones are all expected to testify at the trial, though Jones has been dismissed as a defendant in the case.

Led Zeppelin and Spirit performed at some concerts and festivals around the same time, but not on the same stage.

U.S District Judge R. Gary Klausner ruled in April that evidence presented in hearings made a credible case that Led Zeppelin may have heard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taurusâ&#x20AC;? performed before their song was created.

Francis Alexander Malofiy, attorney for Wolfeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trustee Michael Skidmore, said while many copyright cases are an uphill battle, Klausnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling brings his client one step closer to getting Wolfe credit for helping create one of the most recognizable song introductions in rock history.

Led Zeppelinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys argued that both â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stairway to Heavenâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taurusâ&#x20AC;? use notes and combinations that have been circulating in music for centuries.

The song has generated hundreds of millions of dollars over the

years. Wolfeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorneys overcame statute-of-limitations hurdles to sue over â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stairway to Heavenâ&#x20AC;? because the song was remastered and re-released in 2014.

The lawsuit also came after a high-profile victory last year when a federal jury found that Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams had copied a Marvin Gaye song to create their 2013 hit, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blurred Linesâ&#x20AC;? and awarded Gayeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children $7.4 million.

A judge trimmed the award, and the verdict is under appeal, but the decision appears to have prompted a surge in copyright-infringement filings.

The same attorney who represented Gayeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family filed another suit last week in Los Angeles saying Ed Sheeranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Photographâ&#x20AC;? is too similar to the 2009 song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amazingâ&#x20AC;? written
