Pratt Pack passes Senator meets people’s patio pact with local Tories Cranbrook Council passes third reading for seasonal patio bylaw TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Council passed third reading of a seasonal patio bylaw on Monday night as a few councillors expressed a sense of urgency as summer has already arrived.

City planner Rob Veg led council through some amendments and updates on the bylaw based on public feedback since it

last came up in council chambers.

Councillors Tom Shypitka, Ron Popoff and Isaac Hockley led the charge in pushing to get the bylaw passed so that local businesses could start setting up patios for the summer season.

However, while third reading was passed, it won’t be adopted

until the next council meeting on July 18th.

“My worst nightmare right now with this is nobody jumping on board because summer’s half over, why should I go through all the hoops just for a month or two,” said Shypitka.

Council moves forward with $10 million loan proposal TREVOR CRAWLEY

The City of Cranbrook is moving forward with a plan to borrow $10 million for the 2017 Capital Road Program and it is now in the province’s hands to approve the process.

Council gave third reading to the 2017 Capital Roads Program Loan Authorization Bylaw No.

3862 on Monday night, which was initiated under an Alternative Approval Process (AAP).

The AAP process is laid out in the province’s Community Charter and can only be adopted with the approval of the electors or through a full referendum. Once the province rubber-stamps the bylaw, electors will have a chance

to provide feedback to City Hall.

Following approval from the B.C. Inspector of Municipalities, the city must receive less than 10 per cent of Elector Response forms that are opposed to council borrowing the money for the proposal to proceed.

Canadian Olympic icon Nancy Greene-Raine hears concerns from local Conservative Party members T R E VO R C R AW L E Y

Local Conservatives got a visit from a Canadian ski racing and political icon as Senator Nancy GreeneRaine was in Cranbrook to hear any concerns and lend her voice to any issues brought forward.

Greene-Raine has been a Conservative senator since her appointment in 2009, but is perhaps more famously known for her athletic career as a downhill ski racer, where she captured three Olympic medals and two World Championship medals in 1968.

“When I was named to the Senate, I chose Thompson-Okanagan-Kootenay as my designated area and I don’t get over to the East Kootenay that much — I get to the West Kootenay because I have two brothers living there,” Greene-Raine said.

“So I just jumped at the opportunity and knowing some of the people in the Conservative group here, I called them up and said, ‘Lets have a coffee’.

Nancy Greene Raine “It was really fun, it’s been good to connect a bit and I’m really listening to what the issues are and how things are going here.”

Trench Society Marks 20th Anniversary F O R T H E TO W N S M A N

Twenty years ago eight grassroots organizations in the East Kootenay and Upper Columbia Valley joined forces to initiate a ground-breaking program aimed at restoring grassland and open forest ecosystems in the southern Rocky Mountain Trench.

The coalition of hunters, ranchers, naturalists and environmentalists recognized that an ecosystem restoration program with a broad base of support was vital to sustain the region’s exceptionally rich diversity of plants and animals, and the people who depend on them.

Today the Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resources Society – Trench Society for short – has 11 member organizations representing more than 4,000 people from Golden to Grasmere: Cranbrook Archery Club, Cranbrook Community Forest Society, East Kootenay Invasive Species Council, East Kootenay Wildlife Association, Kootenay Livestock Association, Rocky Mountain Naturalists, Southern Guides & Outfitters, The Land Conservancy, Waldo Stockbreeders, Wildsight and Windermere District Farmers Institute.

The society has sponsored a wide range of restoration initiatives since 1996 and is a key participant in the Rocky Mountain Trench Eco-

provincial and national parks, conservation properties and First Nations reserves. The program has become the model for similar ven-

tures throughout BC. “The Trench Society’s achievements over the past 20 years are remarkable,” said Chair Robyn Duncan, who

represents Wildsight on the society’s board.

“The diversity of partners at the table is the key to our success.

“A common concern

for healthy ecosystems brought us together and the ongoing need for restoration keeps us going.”

Directors, staff and

guests celebrated the 20th anniversary with a field tour of recent restoration projects at the Wycliffe wildlife corridor between Cranbrook and Kimberley and in the Lakit-Brewery Ridge area east of Fort Steele.

Partners in the restoration program have so far returned more than 20,000 hectares (50,000 acres) to historical grassland and open forest condition by removing dense forest ingrowth, and often following up with prescribed burning.

These restoration treatments produce a multitude of benefits: healthier and more productive native plant communities, better grazing for domestic livestock and wild ungulates, habitat for many at-risk species, forests less susceptible to disease and insect attack, reduced forest fuels and lower wildfire hazard, and ecosystems that are more resilient to a changing climate.

Significant funders since the restoration program began in 1998 include the BC and federal governments, Columbia Basin Trust, First Nations Emergency Services Society, Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program and Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation.

Patio bylaw to be adopted: Coming soon to a downtown near you CONTINUED from page 1 “I want to get as many people get on board with this, this summer, as we possibly can so we can see what the problems are, because this is our best chance right now. This year’s kind of a write-off, so this is a perfect opportunity to troubleshoot what the problems may be, make it wide open, then we can address it and fine-tune it for next year.”

However, now that third

reading is passed, business owners interested in setting up a seasonal patio can stop by City Hall and get their hands on the draft bylaw and application form outlining all the pertinent details to get started on the construction of an outdoor patio, if they wish.

When the bylaw is approved on July 18, any patios that meet the city’s requirements will be legal.

“The draft application

form is 99 per cent finished,” said Veg. “The patio guide is 99 per cent finished. People can certainly come in to see us now and get everything they need if we’re not going to make any more changes to the bylaw to be ready for that timeline as well.

“There’s time that they can come in and see us and I can give them the draft guide which lays out the bylaw and those kind of things.”

The bylaw was tweaked from when it last came to council with some changes to the fee structure and the application forms.

Amendments include a reduction in the parking stall fee to $50 for each parallel spot or angle parking spot and rise to $300 in 2018 and beyond.

The application will be a $50 up-front fee with a $25 renewal fee. Shypitka pushed for waiving those fees for the first year, along

with the waiving of a $500 security deposit, however, the fee structure will stand.

The seasonal patio form will be a single form as opposed to two, as business owners were previously required to fill out a building permit. The single form will have a box that, once checked, will trigger the involvement of a building inspector.

May 1 - Oct 31 is the window for a seasonal patio that will be a permanent

structure over that time frame; businesses with smaller bistro tables that are removed from the sidewalks daily can go right to Dec. 31 if they wish.

If any business wished to barbecue on their outdoor patio, letters of approval from adjacent business owners must be obtained, provincial regulatory conditions must be met and proper fire safety procedures must be followed.

COLOURFUL SPRING HONDA FUN RUN RAISES $14,000 FOR ALS: The Spring Honda Fun Run splashed their event with colour this year and the results were tremendous! With the support of every runner, walker, volunteer and generous community sponsors, the annual event, held Sunday, June 4, raised $14,000 for the BC ALS Society. The organizing team expressed gratitude for the amazing turnout — this year more than 500 Fun Runners came out to Moir Park in Cranbrook to take part. Over the last six years the organizing team made up of Rhiannon Chippett, Charlotte Spring, Christie Kennedy and Tegan Bova, as well as major support from Dave & Corey Spring, as title sponsor Spring Honda, have been proud to donate over $40,000 to the BC ALS Society. That grand total is well over $50,000! “We couldn’t hold this event without the support of our amazing community and sponsors, and so happy that everyone had so much fun and can’t wait to colour up Cranbrook again next year!”

Senator Green-Raine visits Council moves ahead party members in Cranbrook with loan proposal CONTINUED from page 1 Greene-Raine was born in Ottawa, but moved to Rossland when she was three years old and began competitive ski racing at a young age, going on to become Canada’s most decorated ski racer in history.

Including athletic accolades such as her Olympic and World Cup success, Greene-Raine has also been named to the Order of Canada, Canada’s Walk of Fame and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal.

The Senate consists of 105 members appointed by the Governor General after consultation with the Prime Minister.

Greene-Raine sits as one of 42 Conservative Senators, while 23 are non-affiliated and 21 are formerly Liberal, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau removed them from caucus. As it stands now, there are also 19 vacant seats.

Echoing the words of Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, GreeneRaine calls the Senate a house of ‘sober second thought.’

“A lot of the people don’t understand the Senate,” Greene-Raine said. “Our government was formed in the very beginning by the coming together of different regions in the country and the relationship between the Senate and the House of Commons was hammered out and has been a part of our constitution since the beginning.”

However, the Senate has been in the national news lately, mostly because to the expense scandals of Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin. Even during the federal election last fall, the Senate was on the party platforms, as the Conservatives pushed for electoral terms while the NDP wanted to abolish the body.

Greene-Raine admits that she used to be in support of electoral reforms for senators, however, in order for that to happen, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Constitution would have to be amended, meaning that at least seven provinces must have 50 per cent approval

to make any changes.

That scenario isn’t likely, said Greene-Raine.

“I don’t see the Senate changing, but I want to see the Senate to be more effective,” she said.

“We’ve been working very hard since the expense scandal, which in my view, was a bit of a tempest in a teapot probably because the two people who were being attacked were from the media and they became the whipping post.”

Even though, GreeneRaine sees relevance with the Senate in it’s role and relationship with the House of Commons.

“They’re very different,” Greene-Raine said.

“The House of Commons is where you’re represented by population, the Senate is really a chamber of review and of taking a longer-term view, because we’re not elected, we don’t face election, we’re not responsible to our electorate but we are responsible. I’d say 99 per cent of the senators who have been appointed take very seriously the role that we have, so we look at our role as complementary

but not the way, for instance in the US system, they have the House of Representatives and the Senate and they are at loggerheads, because the Senate can defeat legislation.

“Our role is to look at the legislation, see if there’s any unintended consequences and make amendments or recommendations for amendments and send it back to the House of Commons for further review.”

Growing up in a rural area like Rossland, Greene-Raines adds that with the House of Commons being a governing body represented by population — and with population growing mainly in the cities — the Senate can be a place to advocate for minority rights or rural issues.

“The rural parts of Canada, the ridings are huge and the representation is still based on representation by population, but I think in the Senate, we can reflect and look at issues as they impact the rural areas of Canada,” Greene-Raine said.

CONTINUED from page 1

If the city receives more than 10 per cent of elector forms that oppose the borrowing action, then Council may not proceed.

“If ever there is to be any gain made on our roads and our water, storm sewer and sanitary sewer infrastructure in town, the timing is perfect,” said Mayor Lee Pratt.

“Interest rates are low; now is the time to act.”

The $10 million figure is derived from this past winter’s budget process, as council approved an expanded roads program for 2017 that would include replacing underlying water and sewer infrastructure.

City staff is using a series of water, storm, sanitary sewer and road priority plans and the city’s Integrated Infrastructure Capital Plan (IICP) to decide the which roads get replaced first.

The $10 million to be borrowed would be on top of the $4.1 million already budgeted for road work.

“The reality of the situation is that a lot of our roads and the underground services are 50 years old or more and they have simply worn out and must be replaced,” said Pratt. “The longer we delay, the more it is eventually going to cost. Ignoring this problem has not helped and we must formulate a plan to replace it. This is the first step of a new approach to rectifying this situation and it

must be implemented sooner than later.”

According to numbers released from the city, the tax hit would be relatively minimal.

For residential, there would be a $10 increase for general municipal property tax per $100,000 of assessed value. For business, that would be a $27 increase.

Water parcel tax and sewer parcel tax — both based on a lot with 15.25 metres of taxable frontage — would increase $15 for both residential and business.

“I hope the citizens of Cranbrook approve of this borrowing,” said Pratt. “Paying a small increase in taxes now pales in comparison to the alternative. If we continue to do nothing, future taxes required to fix this problem will become burdensome to some home and business owners.”

City staff is hoping to have the provincial approval for the bylaw by the middle of August. Once that comes through, the public will be able to have the chance to see an information package and state their opposition, if that’s their position, through an electoral response form.

Staff is also in the process of creating an online tool that will allow home and business owners to understand the impact that the borrowing will have on taxes based on their assessed property value.

Bachelor of Nursing news welcome at COTR For the Townsman

The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program will now be held in its entirety at the College of the Rockies’ Cranbrook campus. plete their first five semesters at College of the Rockies before transferring to University of Victoria to complete the final three semesters.

College of the Rockies and University of Victoria are working together to ensure a smooth transition of the entire four-years of the Nursing program to the

the Coquihalla or the Fraser Canyon. In some places, like Highway 99 north of Whistler, average traffic speed actually fell after the posted speed limit was increased.

Ministry data show a long-term decline in serious crashes across provincial highways over the past decade, but a nine per cent increase in the 2014-15 year that was studied.

That increase shows up whether speed limits were changed or not, and has also been reflected in increasing ICBC rates.

Stone noted that while highway and vehicle safety improvements have declined around North America in recent decades, B.C. has seen the same jump in accidents.

Contributing factors include driver inattentiveness and driving too fast for weather conditions.

“Our program intakes for the 2016 and 2017 Fall semesters are full so we are not currently taking applications at this time,” explains Hepworth. “This is a great opportunity for those interested in taking the nursing program to ensure they have all the prerequisites necessary or to take some of the non-nursing courses required in the program.

We will begin accepting applications for Fall 2018 on November 1, 2017.”

A one-time grant of $450,000 over three years is being provided by the Ministry of Advanced Education for the planning and transition required to move the entire program to College of the Rockies.

Results are mixed from the first year after the B.C. government raised speed limits on 33 sections of rural highway, with average traffic speed and serious collisions up in seven sections.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone released traffic and accident analysis of the first year of operation Tuesday, saying more data are needed to understand the changes in traffic behaviour and accidents. Increased speed limits will continue in most areas, including on the Coquihalla, Okanagan Connector and between Parksville and Campbell River where B.C.’s first 120 km/h speed limits are in place.

Stone cited the Coquihalla as an example of different factors at play. Between Hope and Kamloops, where

the limit went from 110 km/h to 120 in November 2014, the crash rate remains at the lowest rate in the past 10 years.

Speed limits are being lowered on two sections of highway, where engineers have determined other safety measures such as passing lanes or rumble strips aren’t likely to be successful. Those are Highway 1 from Hope to Boston Bar, rolled back from 100 to 90 km/h, and Highway 5A from Aspen Grove to Princeton, being lowered from 90 to 80 km/h.

Increased speed limits remain in place on the Sea to Sky Highway from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish (80 to 90 km/h), and Revelstoke to Golden (90 to 100 km/h).

Raw data from the ministry show spikes in accidents on certain days, such as when there is heavy snow on

A very ingenious bright idea “There is nothing wrong with having nothing to say unless one insists on publishing it.”

Anonymous.

A

ny reporter of consequence would do his very best to find out all the facts but I am not a reporter nor am I avid, so I won’t even attempt to discuss the origins of Cranbrook’s Community Forest; I’d be faking it.

However the forest as such has been there since the beginning of time and since some bright person or persons had the bright idea of keeping the ravenous hands of real estate folk off it and making it a park. I, even in my dotage, still regularly totter on my feet or wobble on my bicycle up that way for a breath of fresh air and a constitutional, whatever that is.

People are always up that way for constitutionals and will probably continue to do so until the government finds a way of taxing such constitutionals, or banning them.

Because of my great age and probably my senility, I have been thoroughly lost in that region and, when lost, met some interesting folk who didn’t seem at the time to realize that they too were lost.

One day, I ventured with a good but totally-inadequate-as-a-guide friend into

the forest by way of the college recycling area, although we were not cycling that time. That is not an entry that I would recommend and so that is probably why we didn’t come out that way. Well! I don’t think we did. Our pick-up wasn’t waiting patiently for us at our point of exodus.

The young fellow who finally directed us back towards the city didn’t call us doddering old fools to our withered faces probably because both of us had at one time taught him at Mount Baker School of Geography and Cartography. He never did bother to tell us why our vehicle wasn’t where we’d left it many weary hours earliPeter er.

That area used to be Warland known to us as The Alkalies, those swampy pools where more adventurous youth used to drive and get thoroughly stuck. I recall a Chevvy truck standing in the middle of one pool with a fair naiad sitting in it looking thoroughly unhappy. After a yelled conversation with her, we discovered that her driver had gone for help and was now driving around the countryside with someone else looking for an even longer tow cable. She used some words — probably technical — that I didn’t know.

When that legendary indigenous person was asked aeons ago if he was lost he replied, according to the legend, “No. My

Letters to the Editor

teepee’s lost.” N.B. In the original tale it was a wigwam. Well, the second time that my friend and I got turned around up there behind the alkalies it was my pickup that became confused and got its silly self misplaced, and I do wish folk would stop telling me that they’d recently seen that red Nissan looking for me. That is ridiculous; after that awful episode I had it shot like a sick dog.

Every day you can see healthy dogs escorting their humans though the dangerous wilderness around the alkalies.

Where once wolves and coyotes roamed dogs now hold sway. In fact, at one time, I was sure that it was compulsory in the community forest for humans to be escorted by at least one domesticated canine quadruped.

One can’t blame dogs but the trails that have grown up there in the communist forest are extremely confusing. Juniper Lane, for example, goes absolutely nowhere near the bowling alley of that name, I discovered, and a person can travel in a straight line for kilometers and keep crossing Loggers’ Lane. Up near Big Tree one confused person once told me that he had no idea where he was and asked if I could direct him back to Wasa where he’d started on the lake circuit.

But the Community Forest was a very good idea and somebody ought to be congratulated about it. I’d take on the task myself but I’d probably get turned around on the way and I no longer have a dog.

The Russians are coming!

Kootenay Ice make big splash, select highly-touted forward Klim Kostin, bruising defenceman Nikita Radzivilyuk at import draft TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The Russians are coming!

At least that’s what Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, is hoping.

Chynoweth and the Ice held the first-overall pick at the 2016 CHL Import Draft, which took place via conference call Tuesday morning.

With the top pick at the annual international refresh, Chynoweth selected elite Russian prospect Klim Kostin, a 17-year-old forward who captained his nation’s entries at the 2015 World U17 Hockey Challenge and 2016 U18 Hockey Championship.

Kostin — standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 183 pounds — is eligible for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and widely projected as a preliminary name to look for in the first round.

In addition to Kostin, Chynoweth selected another Russian, Nikita Radzivilyuk — a bruising, 6-foot-3, 187-pound blue-liner — with the 61st pick at the top of the second round.

“It’s a tough draft, make no bones about it.

It’s not a level playing field,” Chynoweth said.

“It’s very difficult to select players, unfortunately. You’ve got to work with agents you trust and that you’ve had a rapport with over time.

If you don’t, it makes it even more difficult.

“Everyone I talk to raves about [Kostin’s] potential. He’s a big man and growing. He has leadership qualities and possesses an offensive upside — all the things NHL teams look for in a big forward.”

Kostin has already caught the eye of the many pro scouts in North America, with TSN’s Craig Button listing the native of Penza, Russia, as one of his preliminary ‘17 in 2017’ names to watch for next year’s NHL Entry Draft.

“Powerful winger who can beat defenders one-on-one with skill, but also drives the net and attacks to scoring areas with real determination,” Button wrote of Kostin. “Smart and not one-dimensional and

can make a play off the wing and because he’s a threat to drive past a defender, he can take advantage of ice if they back off. Very good speed, quickness and balance and is very difficult to knock awry.”

While the selection of Kostin is worthy of excitement for Kootenay Ice fans, temperament of expectations is advised.

Chynoweth expects Kostin will report to Cranbrook and suit up for the Kootenay Ice for the 2016-17 Western Hockey League season, but as he reiterates after each and every import draft, nothing is guaranteed until you see a player walk through the door for training camp.

“We’ve heard that he will [report], but again, until you see the whites of their eyes, we don’t really believe anything,” Chynoweth said. “It’s definitely not a slam dunk. But I do think, from all reports from the people we’ve talked to, he will be coming over.

“We think there’s a good chance, but there’s no guarantee [he reports].

“He’s a world-class player and if he comes, he makes our team better immediately.”

Key in Chynoweth’s

MINAS PANAGIOTAKAS PHOTO/IIHF IMAGES

Russian captain Klim Kostin (#24) fends off a Finnish opponent during the 2016 U18 World Championships. Kostin was selected by the Kootenay Ice with the first-overall pick at the 2016 CHL Import Draft on Tuesday. selection of Kostin is the fact the young Russian is represented by the same player agency that helped bring a former Kootenay Ice fan favourite to Cranbrook.

Rinat Valiev — a 2014 third-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs — is represented by the same agency now representing both Kostin and Radzivilyuk.

Valiev came to North

America in 2012-13, first suiting up for the Indiana Ice of the United States Hockey League, before being selected by the WHL’s Kootenay Ice at the 2013 CHL Import Draft. The native of Nizhnekamsk, Russia, promptly came north of the border and went on to be one of the most exciting defencemen to suit up for the Kootenay Ice in recent history,

amassing 74 points in 107 career games in Cranbrook.

While the jury remains out on Kostin, there are fewer doubts in regards to Radzivilyuk’s intent to report to Cranbrook.

“Guaranteed 100 per cent,” Chynoweth said of Radzivilyuk. “He will be here for sure.

“There’s potential there. He brings a physical presence and he’s 6-foot-3 already. He likes to play physical, but his

offensive side should improve as he matures.”

The addition of Radzivilyuk gives the Ice a second 1999-born defenceman, helping boost the organizational depth in that particular age group. Sam Huston (2014, ninth round — 198th) is the other 1999born defenceman on the depth chart after 2014 first-round pick Griffin Mendel opted to take the NCAA route via the University of Denver.

Short-handed Bandits strikeout at Big Bucks tourney TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

A short-handed Cranbrook Bandits squad battled, but ultimately came up short this past weekend at the Big Bucks Tournament in Libby, Mont.

The Bandits, without the services of a number of veteran players due to graduation ceremonies ongoing in both Cranbrook and Kimberley, took a young crew, including practice roster players, south of the border for the Libby Loggers’ Big Bucks Tournament.

Opening the tournament Friday, the Bandits fell 14-6 to the Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen, before dropping a 9-1 decision to the Tri-County Cardinals Saturday morning.

A Saturday afternoon matinee saw the Bandits shot down 10-1 by the Lewiston Cubs.

Having dropped three games in round-robin action, the Bandits faced the Strathmore Reds on championship Sunday, finishing the weekend with a 6-5 defeat.

Ice select Russian Kostin at CHL Import Draft CONTINUED from page 8 Kostin spent the 2015-16 campaign with HC MVD Balashikha of the Russian Junior Hockey League (MHL). In 30 games, the skilled forward registered eight goals and 21 assists, good for 29 points alongside 74 penalty minutes.

He also added two goals and five points in six games at the U17 Challenge, before posting four assists in five games at the U18 World Championship.

Radzivilyuk, who is also eligible for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, spent the 2015-16 season with Tyumenski Legion U17 where he collected three goals and eight assists for 11 points in 26 games.

“Unfortunately, we’ve got a lot of holes on our team,” Chynoweth said.

“We couldn’t have gone wrong if we selected two forwards or two defence-

s u o e g r o g e s the ses! r u o C f l o G

men. We need help.

These are just some more building blocks that we will need moving forward.

“Obviously we’re happy, but until we see them both arrive here in August then maybe we can get a little more excited.”

All 60 of the CHL’s member clubs were eligible to participate in the 2016 CHL Import Draft, though a handful opted to pass on selections in favour of retaining import players already on their roster.

The Ice selected forward Roman Dymacek (Czech Republic) and defenceman Mario Grman (Slovakia) at the 2015 import draft, but released both following the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, opening up space for both Kostin and Radzivilyuk.

Keep Our Roads Safe

SCHOOL’S OUT - keep kids safe on our roads this summer, ICBC urges drivers and parents Now that it’s officially summer and B.C. schools are heading into summer break, drivers should expect even more children playing outside. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids so it’s important to pay extra attention when you’re driving, especially around playgrounds and residential areas and for parents to go over the rules of the road with their children.

On average, 153 child pedestrians (aged five to 15) are injured in crashes each year in B.C.* • SLOW DOWN: With more children playing outside in the summer, be cautious and R O F S watch your speed, especially near playgrounds, parks and in residential areas. w TIP Playground speed limits remain in effect year-round. : S R E • WATCH FOR CLUES: In residential areas, a hockey net or ball can mean that kids DRIV playing nearby. Remember that a child could dash into the street at any moment. are pla Pay attention and always anticipate the unexpected.

Driving is a privilege not a right

DRIVE SAFELY. An active part of the community (And proud of it.)

• WATCH FOR CYCLISTS: Actively watch for cyclists on the road who might be harder to see. Make eye contact with them whenever possible to let them know you have seen them. Shoulder check for cyclists before turning right and watch for oncoming cyclists before turning left. • FOCUS ON THE BASICS: Go over these important road safety tips with your R O F S cchildren – even older children need to be reminded about road safety.

P TI SET A GOOD EXAMPLE: Never jaywalk or run across the street. Where possible, S: •cross T N E R at intersections with a pedestrian crossing light or marked crossing.

PA

• PARKED VEH VEHICLES: Encourage your children to avoid shortcuts through parking lots or around

parked cars where it’s harder for drivers to see small children.

• SAFE DRIVING WITH CHILDREN: Relatives, friends’ parents, and other caregivers often transport

children in the summer. The law requires children be secured in car seats or booster seats until they are four feet nine inches tall or at least nine years old. Make sure your children’s seats or boosters goes with them if they might travel without you by car.

• CYCLING 101: Cyclist injuries from crashes with vehicles peak in July and August. It’s never too early to teach your children safe cycling behaviour – it could help make it second-nature to them when they’re older. Start by covering these basics: • Cycle in a straight line, avoid weaving and try to be as predictable as possible. • When sharing a path with pedestrians, ride on the right hand side for everyone’s safety. Use a bell or horn to alert others when you plan to pass. • When turning, shoulder check well in advance, hand signal and then with both hands on the handle bars, shoulder check again before turning. • Make sure children wear approved helmets that meet safety standards every time they ride their bikes and periodically inspect them for signs of wear.

B.C.’s mobile device law

According to section 214.2 of the Motor Vehicle Act, a driver cannot operate a hand-held electronic device (including handheld cellphones, smartphones, tablets, and other electronic hand-held devices such as music players, GPS Navigation Systems, etc.). Also, a driver cannot communicate using text messages or email on any type of device.

Drivers in the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) are restricted from using hands-free cellphones while driving. Drivers with a regular licence are permitted to use hands-free cellphones and devices that can be operated with one touch or voice command, provided that the device is securely fixed to the vehicle or worn securely on the driver’s body.

Any driver caught texting, emailing, holding a cellphone or other hand-held electronic device while driving will be fined $368 and receive four driver penalty points.

Moments in Time

Cranbrook townsman / Kimberley bulletin

It happened this week in Cranbrook For the Week Of June 26 – July 2

Dav e H u m p h r e y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1905 Bad wreck … Last Monday morning the east bound passenger train with Conductor Corey in charge ran into a rock slide four miles east of Frank. The engine, mail and baggage cars were derailed and wrecked but none of the passenger coaches or passengers were injured. George Grant, the fireman, was pinned down under the engine by one hand being caught, and before he could be rescued he was badly scalded by escaping steam. J. H. Caslake, the engineer, was thrown from the cab window as the engine went over and lighted on his feet in the bush without the slightest injury. The train did not reach Cranbrook until one o’clock next morning. Mr. Caslake came down as a passenger Mr. Grant was taken to the hospital at Frank where everything possible was done for him, but he died about 2 o’clock the following morning. In Cranbrook, where the deceased had so many friends, the news of the acci-

dent, and his death, gave rise to an intense feeling of sorrow. The remains were sent back to Wolseley, Assa., where his people reside.

New safe … W. F. Tate & Son installed their big, new safe yesterday.

It weighs over 4,000 pounds, and is both burglar and fire proof, or as much so as is possible for modern science in safe making can do in that direction. The firm had a large safe before, but with the increase in their stock, and more especially the great increase in the watch repairing business, it became necessary to provide more sale room for the protection of their patrons. This safe is one of the best made and will hold forty trays of watches and jewelry. The man who leaves a watch with this firm can rest assured that not only will the watch be repaired in a workmanlike manner, but that it will be kept safely at night. These two points are important to people, for they neither want their watch spoiled nor stolen. The big safe is another milestone in the progress of Tate & Son, and is material evidence of the fact that their business is rapidly growing and the growth is based on the best of foundations, absolute merit.

A GOOD PLACE TO BE.

Hose team … The members of the fire brigade who will make up the team in the hose race at Moyie on the first are practicing nearly every evening and are doing some good work.

They started out making the run in about 39 seconds, and have cut the time down four or five seconds by hard practice. The great trouble is due to the fact that it is hard to get the same crowd out each night, but yet they will endeavor to make as good a showing as possible for the team.

Ouches x 2! … J. Pruden, engineer at North Star mill, caught one of the fingers on his left hand yesterday while at work on some machinery and had the end knocked off. He hurried to town and had it attended to and the fact that no time was lost may enable him to save the injured member. J. G. MaCallum met with a severe accident this morning. A broad axe fell off the counter and the blade struck his right foot cutting a bad gash, but fortunately not causing a permanent injury.

School concert … The school concert given last Friday evening at Wentworth hall was a great success in every way and a great credit to the teachers who had the entertainment in charge. Mrs. Brock, who was the promoter of the movement, worked like a Trojan, and was ably assisted by Miss Lewis and Miss McVicer, The pupils did their work nicely and some of the numbers were especially fine. These school concerts are an excellent thing for the children as they tend to give pupils confidence in self in public, and that is as much part of education as studying lessons from the books.

Five hold-ups … Five daring robberies and hold-ups have occurred in Fernie during the week. The first took place at about four o’clock on Monday morning at the Fernie hotel.

Three masked men entered the hotel and as the night porter, E. Haynes, came up from stoking the furnace he was confronted with a pistol. He was relieved of all the money on his person, about $17. He was then tied to a chair with towels and after robbing the till of its contents, amounting to $20, the robbers departed. The porter says he called immediately but considerable time elapsed before he attracted attention. The description given by the porter is very vague. They were masked and wore green goggles. One wore long laced boots and was a tall heavy man and addressed one of his companions as Dan, A lady a few blocks down the street says she saw two masked men at that hour talking on the street. They either were colored men or wore gloves and their faces were masked. The porter says the parties were white men.

On the following night three

Don’t just leave your house building dynamite lying around for kids to play with. robberies occurred, all exactly in the same manner, W. J. Blundell’s store was entered by the outside cellar, entrance and thence up the inside cellar steps.

The till was robbed of $4.50 in five and ten cent pieces. Mr. Blundell believes that none of his goods in the store were touched. The King’s hotel was entered in the same manner and $15 was taken from the till, R. Moore was awakened by the closing of a door at five o’clock, but thinking it was, one of the boys he paid no attention to it. It was the thieves going out the side entrance. The Union hotel in the Old town was “touched” in the same manner. The robbers got up the cellar way and departed through the door. They got about $8 out of Simon Dragon’s till. Again this morning, Leslie Mills of the Central hotel reports that an attempt was made to hold his house up at 4 o’clock this morning. He was on duty himself, and being somewhat suspicious of trouble he had a rifle standing behind the bar. Two masked men entered the front door and demanded his money, but Mr. Mills grabbed for his gun and the uninvited guests needed no further hint to make a hasty retreat. It is a significant fact that these depredations have all been done during the early hours of the morning after two o’clock at which hour the night policeman goes off duty. Yesterday and last night a general round-up of undesirable characters was made by the police and the result is that this morning a docket of thirteen cases confronted the magistrate.

It is more than likely that among these are some who know more than they should of the wholesale robberies that have taken place in the city this week.

Housing boom! … Parties digging a cellar on Baker Hill used dynamite for blasting purposes and at night the caps were not put away as they should have been. Last Thursday evening, Clarence, the four year old son of H. Hickenbotham, found one of them and took it home, and boy-like, proceeded to place it on a rock and with another rock produce an explosion by pounding the cap. The boy was suc-

cessful, and as a result his right hand was badly mutilated. No time was lost in taking the victim of the accident to the hospital, where the injured member was taken care of by Dr. King. It was a narrow escape, but fortunately the boy is now out of the hospital and getting along nicely. F. C. Malpas, who lives in that part of the town, was told by a lady in the neighborhood that she thought she had seen his boy playing with some of the caps.

Mrs. Malpas and the children had gone to Wasa for a few days and naturally Mr. Malpas was worried with the fear that perhaps his boy had carried the caps with him and would also get into trouble. Telephoning to Fort Steele he had Mr. Geary send a messenger to Wasa to warn Mrs. Malpas of the probable danger. He was much relieved later in the day to receive word back from his wife that she had searched the boy’s pockets and there were no trace of the caps.

Pot holes … Road Superintendent McKay could do some good work for posterity if he would fill some of the mud holes in the streets of Cranbrook. The people of this town pay their taxes to the provincial government and the majority would be pleased to get something in return by way of a guarantee of good faith.

New doors … The Imperial bank has had two new doors placed in its front that are an artistic piece of work, so much so in fact that they have elicited from the people the most enthusiastic praise. The doors are grained to compare with the fine furnishings just installed by the bank, and a better piece of work was never done in western Canada. Bradley & Co., who did the work, have been receiving all kinds of compliments.

Fish story … The party of Wilmer ladies and gentlemen who camped at the Fish lakes for a week, have returned with some tall stories. The highest estimate of the catch is modestly put down to be only 8,765 and the largest fish caught was just a little longer than a fence. They all report having enjoyed themselves.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lot to offer. In the past few months, you might have done some self-reflection and deep thinking about your actions. This period will be ending soon, so consider taking action. You don’t have to, but you’ll at least want to consider it. Tonight: Claim your power.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone close to you could be cantankerous and difficult. At this point in time, it appears that whatever this person says is likely to wash over you like water. Still, be aware that his or her tune is about to change and you will want to respond in kind.

Tonight: All smiles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll recognize a change in the energy around you, but you might not be sure of your choices. It’s possible that you will open up to a new way of interacting with your friends. You are more concerned about their well-being than you might have

Features

expressed. Tonight: Take it easy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sense of humor and ability to acknowledge your feelings is likely to put you in touch with any information you have been trying to avoid. Your perceptions might have changed, and they will again. Tonight: Work with what you know instead of with what you don’t.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to a boss explain his or her perspective and goals. You have a lot going on at the homefront right now. You will want to pull back and take a look at everything that is changing.

You might decide to do less than you originally had intended. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have an opportunity to see the big picture. Make decisions after some of the chaos around you settles down. Be more in touch with your feelings about recent talks. Express your opinions after you have done enough reflection to be sure of yourself.

Tonight: Listen to others.

Hagar the Horrible

Cranbrook Townsman / Kimberley Bulletin

Listen to whatever someone chooses to share. This person might be airing out some problems close to the real issue that he or she wants to discuss. Your responses could determine the outcome. Try to encourage him or her to be more open. Tonight: Chat over dinner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Mars goes directly into your sign today. You are likely to tell it like it is and express your irritation, especially if you have been holding back your feelings for a while. Your softer side will find the right way to deliver the message, if you so choose. Tonight: Go for the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have a lot going on within you. You might find that some anger comes forward that you have not been in touch with for a while. One-on-one relating becomes more effective, and you’ll discover the power of sharing your feelings often. Tonight: Express your real thoughts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You see a situation much differ-

ently from how a friend sees it, despite this person’s attempts to have you agree with him or her.

You could find that a loved one is much more receptive than he or she has been in a long time.

Tonight: Seize the moment!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have seen controversy surrounding a boss or higher-up. A situation evolves where the air can be cleared quite quickly and effectively. Still, you might want to hold back and see where others are coming from. Let your feelings guide you. Tonight: Head home early.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Try to see the big picture before you determine how to respond.

You might need more feedback.

Understand what is happening before you verbalize your opinions. You will gain others’ respect for proceeding in this way. Time is your ally. Tonight: Read between the lines.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A month ago, my wife was bitten by our neighbor’s foster dog. While the dog was healthy and had had all of its shots, the bite became infected and required a doctor’s care. This turned out to be a lengthy process, including shots and a prescription.

It seems to be healing up.

Our insurance paid the bill, and so far we have not received anything indicating that we owe money. The neighbor has apologized many times and the dog has been returned to the facility.

Our neighbor is very nice and we don’t want to create a conflict. Should we just let it go, or should the neighbor reimburse us for any additional costs? -- Not Sure Dear Not Sure: If there is no additional cost for your wife’s medical bills or prescriptions, we think your neighbor has done all she can -- apologized profusely and returned the dog. However, should a medical bill show up in the mail, you ought to ask your neighbor whether she would like to pay it or split it with you. She might actually feel better knowing she has not saddled you with a bill because of the dog.

Dear Annie: I have been crying my eyes out for the last week. Our beautiful, talented, intelligent daughter, “Susie,” became pregnant during her last semester of college. The father was a classmate. He comes from a very traditional culture and his parents have a successful business.

When Susie told her boyfriend about the baby, he did not respond. My husband threatened to hire a lawyer, so Susie informed him that he had to tell his parents about the baby. They demanded a paternity test, which proved their son was the father.

Although we recommended adoption, Susie opted to keep the baby. The lawyer got a decent amount of child support based on the boyfriend’s income. But a month later, the boyfriend suddenly quit his job and moved back to his parents’ native country.

Our grandson is now 3, and Susie barely earns enough for child care and rent. Last week, I got a call from the mother of one of Susie’s college friends. Apparently, her daughter had invited Susie to her recent wedding, and Susie sent a note saying she’d be out of town. But another friend saw Susie boarding a bus the morning of the wedding.

When I asked Susie, she started sobbing. She said she didn’t have enough money to buy a dress and get her hair done for the big day.

So she maxed out her credit card to send a nice gift. What’s worse, the bride had intended to introduce Susie to her cousin, a nice professional man from out of state. Now he’s back on the West Coast and Susie is stuck in a third-floor walk-up.

Annie, I worry that it is too late for Susie, but please warn other young women. When it comes to a pregnancy, it is always the woman who pays the price. -- Brokenhearted Mom Dear Mom: Please stop concentrating on whether or not Susie has a man in her life.

That is not her focus right now, nor should it be. If she cannot get child support from her reprobate ex-boyfriend, she will need your assistance to get by. Can you help with rent?

What about child care? Please think about how you can make Susie’s life easier.

Cranbrook City Councillor Isaac Hockley and Gabrielle Hockley hit the podium at a wake surfing competition in Mossdale Quarry Lake in California in the middle of June. Gabrielle finished in third place while Isaac finished in second place, both in the amateur division. Both were beaten by the number one-ranked amateur wake surfer in the world in both the men’s and women’s categories. The competition was a part of the World Series of Wakesurfing and Lake Koocanusa will be a stop on the tour from July 22-23 out at Sunshine Houseboats.

WEST KOOTENAY

Arrest made after threats close South Slocan school, force grad postponement CANADIAN PRESS

NELSON, B.C. - A male student has been arrested after threats forced the evacuation of a high school in the West Kootenay.

Nelson RCMP said they received reports last Thursday about a possible threat to Mount Sentinel Secondary in South Slocan, about 25 kilometres west of Nelson.

Officers arrived at the school to find a student being detained by school officials and took him into custody, police said.

Officials evacuated the school and dismissed students early on Friday. They also decided to postpone graduation ceremonies set for the weekend and

cancel classes on Monday and Tuesday.

The threat was determined to be very serious and involved an isolated incident, police said, adding the investigation is ongoing.

The student is facing a number of criminal charges and was expected to appear in provincial court in Castlegar on Monday.

Staff members met Tuesday to make alternate plans for graduation, school officials said Monday in an update posted to the school district’s website.

Students can go back to the school Wednesday morning to clean out their lockers and say their farewells, the post said.
