Pipe Band to celebrate with a grand tattoo 90th Anniversary of the Kimberley Pipe Band in 2017 C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Next summer is a significant one as we prepare to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday.

Local movers and shakers are already dreaming up ways

Kimberley can celebrate.

But there is also a significant local anniversary as the venerable Kimberley Pipe Band turns 90, and plans are underway to celebrate that in a fitting fashion as well.

In the pipe band world, celebration means a tattoo.

The Once and Future Dam

From 1931 to 2016 and beyond, the dam on Joseph’s Creek has served as Cranbrook’s carotid artery Barry Coulter

wo years and $75,000 later, they were celebrating Cranbrook’s new water supply. This was in October, 1931.

“The construction of the new dam and reservoir on St. Joseph Creek … two miles from the city, marks the completion of the $75,000 undertaking for the improvement of Cranbrook’s water supply, and the assurance of of an adequate water supply of pure water not

only sufficient for the present population, but for considerable expansion in years to come.”

So announced the Cranbrook Courier, Oct. 22, 1931.

Almost 85 years (and what will be $2.8 million) later, it was announced that what is old will be new again, and the dam, reservoir and what became a surrounding park will undergo a rejuvenation.

The original dam and spillway itself will be subject to a complete

And then, the forested environs will be transformed into the best park it can be, according to the wishes of the populace.

This is in large part thanks to a $2.8 million largesse from the Federal Gas Tax fund, and a further $500,000 from the Regional District of East Kootenay and Area C. This latest announcement was made Tuesday, July 5, at Idlewild, and you can read all about it in Wednesday’s Townsman or at www.

Eighty five years previously, the Cranbrook Courier heralded Cranbrook’s new infrastructure centrepiece, as a long-term solution to increasing demand for water, made greater by inclement weather.

“The city originally drew its supply from St. Joseph Creek,” the Courier reported in 1931.

“But … it was found necessary to bring in an additional supply from Gold Creek. This was done by the construction of an open ditch over an almost level plateau known as ‘The Summit.’”

were wondering — 21 million gallons.

The 85-year-old dam consists of a “reinforced concrete core wall 20 feet high, with foundations to solid impervious hardpan varying to an additional 11 feet below the old bed of the reservoir.”

The dam is supported on both sides with earthworks, the total width at the base being 100 feet and a the crest line 20 feet.

“A concrete spillway 20-feet high with sluice gate at the bottom for emptying the reservoir completes the structure,” the Courier said in 1931.

In 2016, work on the dam will include strengthening the structure and increasing the downstream and upstream slopes. The spillway will be replaced to allow for a higher capacity flow.

The reservoir was originally designed to be dredged occasionally, but it has been decades since that was done. Silt had built up in the lake, causing water to back up onto adjacent properties.

But the drawn-down lake will now be

dredged, and stocks of fish, turtles and others who call the lake home are in the process of being relocated to other suitable habitats.

The dam work is expected to be done by the end of this year, with upgrades to the surrounding park set for 2017.

Thus, Cranbrook’s infrastructure centrepiece of 1931 will resume its rightful place as Cranbrook’s carotid artery.

Back in 1931, the Courier has these final words to say: “The full extent of the value of these improvements has already been felt by the city. During the present summer, after a year of abnormal dry seasons and very little snow, the creeks have given the lowest flow on record, but at no time has there been any danger of lack of water for domestic services and unrestricted lawn watering. For several months this summer, the city was using the entire flow of St. Joseph’s Creek, and in addition about one million gallons per day from Gold Creek.”

The water supply from this ditch system proved unreliable, the Courier said, due to evaporation and seepage in summer. And the especially severe winters of 1928/29 and 1929/30 found Cranbrook seriously short of water, due to widespread use of leaving taps running to prevent freezing.

Thus, a bylaw passed during the January, 1930, allotted $75,000 to first of all construct a four and a half mile pipeline from Gold Creek over “The Summit” to a fork in St. Joseph Creek (as it was called then). Secondly, an existing dam was raised five feet, creating a storage capacity in the reservoir of 11 million gallons.

But then, a year later, in 1931 …

“After completion of the first section, it was found that sufficient funds were available to build an entirely new dam and intake works in a more suitable location 200 feet upstream from the old dam … with a present capacity of 21 million gallons.”

So that’s how much water Idlewild Lake can contain, in case you

When to water From Page 1 City staff will be monitoring water throughout the city and issuing tags to those who are watering at the wrong time.

Last year as the summer progressed concern over the amount of water flowing over the dam grew, which led to Council beefing up the watering bylaw.

The City can, at any time they feel necessary, bump restrictions up.

Stage 2 restrictions require even numbered properties to water only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, same times; and odd numbers Thursdays and Sundays. City lawns, parks and boulevards will be watered once a week at Stage 2.

Washing boats or motor vehicles, and pressure washing will not be permitted, nor will public fountains or water features be on.

In Stage 3, there will be no watering of lawns allowed. Watering of sports fields will be allowed only to the extent of keeping them in usable condi t i o n .

Golf courses will only water greens and tee areas. You may still water flower and vegetable gardens.

Stepping up to level 4, there will be no watering of lawns or gardens, no watering of school yards or sports fields, no operation of automatic car washes, no filling or re-filling of any type of pool. These stage 4 restrictions apply to golf courses and cemeteries as well.

The City will make public announcements when entering any stage of restrictions.

Penalties will begin at $100. Second offences may gain you a fine of up to $500, and no less than $250. In stage 4 restrictions, a commercial operator will be fined no less than $1000 for not following the bylaw.

EYE ON YOUR CITY

Fuels Management – Crews will be treating 27 hectares in the Northwest corner of the Kimberley Nature Park and in the center East side of the Nordic Centre, known as the Richardson’s Cut area. The objectives of this treatment are to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires in the interface adjacent to the city by reducing active crown fire potential, reducing surface fire intensity, long range spotting, and increasing wildfire resilience. The treatments will include removal of surface and ladder fuels through piling and chipping with pile burning in the fall. This area is marked as active falling and the public is asked to stay clear of the areas during the burning operations.

This project is UBCM funded and is projected to be completed by fall 2017.

Marking the start of a new Idlewild Park TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Local politicians came together to make Idlewild great again with an official sod-turning ceremony at the park on Tuesday to mark the upcoming construction of a new dam structure and spillway.

Work will begin once a contractor is in place and is expected to wrap up before the snow flies in the fall.

To pay for the project, Cranbrook secured $2.8 million in funding from the Federal Gas Tax fund, while the RDEK and Area C kicked in $500,000.

Though the Gas Tax funding was announced in February, the city is working towards starting construction in August.

Once the dam and spillway projects are complete, the focus will shift to redeveloping the whole park.

“We have a short construction period,” said Cranbrook Mayor

Lee Pratt. “So hopefully we’ll get going here in the next two or three weeks and things will go well and we can get what we have to get done this year, then next year, we’ll be able to concentrate on enhancing the surrounding park and making it a nice showcase for the community.”

The existing dam is earthen-filled with a concrete core and the rehabilitation work will include strengthening the structure and increasing the slopes upstream and downstream and replacing the spillway to allow for higher capacity water flow.

In order to do that, the lake will have to be dredged, however, fish stocks, turtles and other creatures will be relocated to other suitable habitats.

From a dam safety perspective and an infrastructure perspective, that is mandatory.

“The rest of the work with the parks upgrades and the leisure upgrades are just something that we feel needed to happen because it’s been so long since those have been upgraded.”

The parks and leisure upgrades will be

made following a consultation process that has seen 1,000 responses from public surveys and a Facebook Page called ‘Make Idlewild Great Again.’

The park is a unique area because of it’s geographic location — it borders the outside edge of city limits — and includes Cranbrook users and those who live in Gold Creek, which is RDEK jurisdiction.

Rob Gay, the Area C director and RDEK board chair, said that the park is a special case as it is within

ments to property taxes.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett lauded Mayor Pratt and the council for making a difficult decision to draw the lake down and decommission the dam, which he called a public safety issue.

“I’m certainly thankful that this current mayor and council have shown the courage to lower the water, make it safe for people and then go out and find the money and get it fixed,” Bennett said.

The dam was identified as structurally

unsound in a report to city council at the beginning of 2015, and the lake levels have been drawn down to relieve stress on the structure.

Lake levels were drawn down last summer to relieve pressure on the structure, while city officials worked with various provincial and federal ministries to come up with a plan to fix the dam that wouldn’t have an averse impact on the lake’s ecological system, which is important habitat for migratory birds and turtles.

The funding, for both the City of Cranbrook and the RDEK comes from the federal Gas Tax Fund. The fund, which accumulates through taking a percentage every time someone gases up their vehicle at the fuel pumps, is returned to UBCM and distributed to local governments.

Gay added that the $500,000 will come out of the RDEK’s portion of the Gas Tax grant and will not mean any adjust-

KIMBERLEY NEWS JULY 10, 1957 OLDTIMER 79 YEARS YOUNG STILL AT THE WHEEL

Mrs. Florence Mellor and her husband started a combination general merchandise and hardware store at Marysville in 1902 in the spot where Rab’s Confectionery now stands. They opened a branch store in Kimberley in 1921 in the Estmere Building, later known as the Mark Creek Store and now as The Hudson’s Bay Co. In those days they could have purchased the site for

$750.

Soon after, they bought the land where their store is now located and built a half-building, which they completed as time went on.

They carried on their store in Marysville until the late 1920’s when they sold the building. At their present store, they dropped the hardware in 1926 and foods in 1930, leaving only the lines, Ladies, Children’s and Men’s Wear.

Mr. Mellor died in 1939, leaving Mrs. Mellor and three children, Percy, Edith and Earl. Earl passed away in the spring of this year.

Mrs. Mellor was 79 years old on July 6 and her philosophy in her own words is:

“You are only as old as you feel young.”

NAOMI HURDLE RECEIVES AWARD

An interesting ceremony took place last week at the Girl guides Camp held at the Presbyterian church’s Camp Wasa when Mrs. Ena Watson, district commissioner, presented the Golden Cord to Naomi Hurdle.

Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. Hurdle, Naomi has earned 24 badges, well over the 16 required to obtain the Gold Cord, top honour in Girl Guides. Presentation had to be made without the usual ceremonial because of Mr. Hurdle’s move to Trail.

Present for the ceremony

were Mrs. Hurdle, Mrs. Jean Barrett, president of Girl Guide Association and other Association Members. The Guides had decorated the camp dining room and visitors were guests for dinner. A camp fire and skits by the various patrols completed a very pleasant visit.

While at the lake Mrs. Watson officially inspected and found everything satisfactory.

Approximately 25 Guides attended camp this year from Cranbrook, Kimberley, Chapman Camp and Marysville.

Mrs. June Wilson, divisional trainor, was again Camp Commandant. The girls all worked hard to earn more badges and quite a few swam the width of the lake and several lengths.

Pipe Band History: The history of the Kimberley Pipe Band began in 1927 with the arrival of two brothers to a small mining town in the East Kootenay.

Angus Scott came to Kimberley in 1926 to work for the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, now known as Tech Cominco. In the following year Angus and his brother Hamish, along with a small group of enthusiastic pipers and drummers, established the Kimberley Pipe Band.

With Angus Scott as the pipe major, the band made its first public appearance in the Kimberley Day parade on July 1, 1927. Marching with the Pipe Major were Dick Burke, Jim Erwin, Hugh Fraser, Alex Fergus, Gordie Taylor and Hamish Scott.

In the early years, the band performed mostly in Kimberley and in the Kootenays, but in 1936 they were to take part in one of the most important events in the history of

would be displayed.

In 1939, with the outbreak of the Second World War, some band members enlisted to fight for their country but the band continued to flourish back home in Kimberley under Pipe Major Alan Graham. In 1943 Mrs. Nessie Oliphant, an accomplished dancer and

Ignorance, arrogance, endless war

“S

uppose that ... the Iraqis feel ambivalent about being invaded and real Iraqis, not (just) Saddam’s special guard, decide to offer resistance,” wrote British prime minister Tony Blair to US president George W. Bush in December 2001, two years before the US and the UK invaded Iraq. At least Blair had some doubts, but neither man could really imagine that the Iraqis would see them as conquerors, not liberators.

Another 13 years have now passed, and at last we have the Chilcot Report, an impartial official investigation into why Britain joined the United States in that invasion. (There is no equivalent American document.) It’s a 12-volume study that illustrates just how ill-informed and reckless the planners of that illegal war were, but it doesn’t tell us much we didn’t already know.

There are some juicy documents about the pre-war connivance between Bush and Blair, like Blair’s promise in 2001 that “We are with you, whatever.” But there is comparatively little on the scale of the disaster that the invasion inflicted on innocent Iraqis: thirteen years of war, up to 600,000 Iraqis killed and a country effectively destroyed. So this is a good time to recall the fate of the city of Fallujah.

Fallujah was a city of a third of a million people, less than an hour’s drive west of Baghdad, that was occupied by US troops in April 2003. It was the first place where American troops fired on Iraqi civilians (they were protesting against the takeover of a local high school by the US 82nd Airborne Division). It had fallen under the control of Iraqi resistance forces by the end of the year. That was the “First Battle of Fallujah”.

Fallujah was recaptured in November 2004 by US forces, at a cost of 95 American

dead and 560 wounded. An estimated 1,350 insurgents were killed in this “Second Battle of Fallujah”. A large but uncounted number of civilians also died, as the American offensive involved massive artillery bombardments including white phosphorus shells. 9,000 of the city’s 39,000 homes were destroyed in that battle, and more than half were damaged.

The city was never properly rebuilt, but by 2006 about two-thirds of its resihad returned. DeGwynne dents spite constant attacks on the occupation forces by Dyer the group that later turned into Islamic State, the United States returned Fallujah to Iraqi government control in 2008 — or perhaps we should say Iraqi government occupation, for by now the American-backed government in Baghdad was almost entirely Shia, and Fallujah is a Sunni city.

Sunni insurgents took back control of Fallujah in January 2014, six months before rest of western Iraq fell to the forces of Islamic State virtually without a fight. The pattern was the same: the new Iraqi army built up by the United States at a cost of $26 billion simply collapsed and ran away.

The “Third Battle of Fallujah” began in May of this year. Iraqi government forces (mosty Shia, of course), supported by Iranian troops and American air strikes, took almost six weeks to recapture the city, which by the end of the fighting contained only a few tens of thousands of civilians.

More will return in due course, mainly because they have nowhere else to go, but most of the city is just ruins.

Other cities in Iraq are less comprehensively wrecked, but none of them are safe places to live in. The most recent bomb attack in Baghdad, on Saturday evening, killed at least 250 people. When the current Iraqi prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, visited the scene of the bombing on Sunday,

he was chased away by a crowd hurling stones, shoes and insults. And there is no end in sight.

Thirteen years, half a million excess deaths or more, millions of refugees, general impoverishment and insecurity, and an astoundingly corrupt government that is strongly and successfully resisting Abadi’s attempt to reform it. It is no wonder that even most of those in Iraq who suffered under Saddam Hussein’s tyrannical rule now wish he had never been overthrown.

“Saddam has gone, and we have one thousand Saddams now,” said Kadhim al-Jabbouri in a recent interview with the BBC. Jabbouri, who became famous for taking a sledgehammer to a statue of the dictator as American forces entered Baghdad in 2003, added: “It wasn’t like this under Saddam ... We didn’t like him, but he was better than those people ...T here was no corruption or looting. You could be safe.”

The cautious ruminations of the Chilcot Report underplay the most important fact about the invasion of Iraq, which is that all these appalling consequences were entirely predictable. People who had any real knowledge of the political, ethnic and sectarian politics in the region and especially in Iraq DID predict them, including the relevant experts in the US State Department and the British Foreign Ministry.

Never mind whether or not the decision to invade Iraq was a war crime (though it was, under international law). Never mind whether the invaders’motives were good or bad (they were the usual mixture of both, actually). What shines through is the sheer arrogance and ignorance of those who brought this calamity down on the Iraqis, who must now live out their lives in misery and terror. Thanks, guys.

In a nutshell,

Clinton was fairly cavalier with classified information whilst Secretary of State, discussing it on an insecure, private email server. The Republicans, who have spawned an entire cottage industry on Clinton investigations, have been trying to get her indicted on this, or the Benghazi debacle for years. They are immensely disappointed. And have promised yet another hearing.

FBI Director James Comey — himself a Republican, which makes his decision a little less open to favouritism claims — said he found Clinton’s actions with the emails “careless” but not “gross negligence”.

The Donald immediately declared that “the system is rigged”, carrying on with his belief that legal decisions that do not go his way have to be suspect.

In my opinion, if there was any other candidate but Trump running against Clinton, she would be in trouble over this anyway. Nobody needs to have the tagline “careless” attached to a President.

But it is Trump, and after ranting

about rigged systems for a bit on Tuesday, he went on to verbalizing his usual inane thought salad. His point this week? While Saddam Hussein was a “bad guy”, he was great at killing terrorists. “He did that so good.” So... yay for Saddam?

The Twitter-verse also had a fun Trump week under the hashtag #1776Trump — a nod to the July 4 holiday. The premise was simply to pretend The Donald was around during the colonial days and imagine what he might have said.

I give you #1776Trump: • Don’t tell me burning witches doesn’t work Believe me, burning witches works okay? We need more witch burning, not less!

• “Crooked George says I have small slaves. He’s such a liar. Look at those slaves...do those slaves look small to you?”

• Where’s my African American... wait, how did he get out?

• 13 colonies? That’s it?!? Bad deal. I woulda gotten 1000 colonies. Huge, beautiful colonies.

• “I don’t know if it’s true, a lot of people are telling me, Tom Jefferson has a black girlfriend. It’s what

I’m hearing!

• I have a great relationship with the blacks. And I got them at a hugely tremendous bargain.

• Alexander Hamilton is a total loser. Lost his duel. I prefer people who don’t lose duels.

• We are going to build a wall down the east coast to keep out the British!!

• “Taxpayers are paying a fortune for the use of Air Horse One! A disgrace!”

• The Headless Horseman’s only accomplishment is that he lost his head. Right there in the name.

Loser. I only back winners.

• Samuel Adams Beer is Bush League. Nobody brews beer like me. Lyin Sammy uses weak barley, bad hops, Trump beer has the best hops.

• Alexander Hamilton isn’t even from the Colonies. Says he’s from Nevis, but he looks Puerto Rican to me. Probably Catholic.

Going to be a long summer on the campaign trail.

Remembering One Who Helped us Remember

H

olocaust survivor, author, and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel died in the United States, his adopted homeland on July 2.

If you haven’t heard of him, he was an extraordinary human being who helped us all remember the Holocaust and who helped us to say, “Never again!” He was a survivor who came face to face with the depths of human cruelty and nevertheless refused to loosen his grip on hope.

I first came to know Wiesel through his novel “Night”, written in the late 1950s. It is the story of Eliezer, a devout Jewish teenager who is rounded up with the Jews of his town and shipped to the concentration camp at Auschwitz. In one pivotal scene in the book, he describes the execution of three Jews, one of whom is a child.

“One day, as we returned from work, we saw three gallows, three black ravens, erected on the Appelplatz …

The SS seemed more preoccupied, more worried, than usual. To hang a child in front of thousands of onlookers was not a small matter. The head of the camp read the verdict. All eyes were on the child. He was pale, almost calm, but he was biting his lips as he stood in the shadow of the gallows.

“The three condemned prisoners together stepped onto the chairs. In unison, the nooses were placed around their necks.

Rev. Yme Woensdregt “Long live liberty!” shouted the two men.

“But the boy was silent.

“Where is merciful God, where is He?” someone behind me was asking.

At the signal, the three chairs were tipped over.

Total silence in the camp.

On the horizon, the sun was setting.

“Caps off!” screamed the commandant. His voice quivered. As for the rest of us, we were weeping.

“Cover your heads!”

Then came the march past the victims. The two men were no longer alive.

Their tongues were hanging out, swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing …

And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes. And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tongue was still red, his eyes not yet extinguished.

Behind me, I heard the same man asking: “For God’s sake, where is God?” And from within me, I heard a voice answer: “Where is He? This is where — hanging here from

this gallows…”

It’s a terrifying piece of writing, a horrifying image.

We want to avert our eyes … but we must not.

Some people saw this as the beginning of a movement called “the death of God.” I don’t know what Wiesel meant when he wrote it, but I don’t believe it was about God’s death. For Wiesel, the Holocaust was a critical turning point. Ever after, he talked more about morality than theology.

Wiesel would say that we can no longer be sure about God’s involvement in the life of humanity. What we can be certain about is our own commitment to never allow this kind of horror again.

Never again Auschwitz.

Never again such an assault on the Jewish people.

In later years, he took up the same kind of stand against nuclear proliferation. In a panel discussing the nuclear option, Wiesel stood alongside generals talking sanely about the insanity that was/is nuclear deterrence and “mutually assured destruction.” Wiesel was the voice from Auschwitz warning us not to do to the whole world what had been done to the Jews of Europe. He seemed so sad that night, so unimpressed by the ribbon–bedecked generals reassuring us that all would be well despite 50,000 nuclear weapons hanging over our heads.

Today, Wiesel would say

Holocaust Survivor, Author and Nobel Prize Winner, Elie Wiesel the same again about the violence being perpetrated against the LGBTQ (lesbian/ gay/bisexual/transgender/ queer) community. Never again! Never will such an assault happen while we stand silently by. We will raise our voices against every prejudice, every hatred, every bigotry.

“Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere,” he said.

After Auschwitz, Wiesel’s dealt with God by questioning God and arguing with God. He taught us that we must ask questions of God about justice and mercy, de-

manding fiercely that justice and mercy and compassion must be practiced ever more fervently in our world and in our lives. This kind of protesting–questioning faith makes so much more sense to me than the doctrinaire– complacent faith we see prattled so loudly by televangelists and conservatives.

Despite his inability to speak of God, he did not lose hope. At the Days of Remembrance in 2002, he remarked, “People say occasionally that there must be light at the end of the tunnel, but I believe in those times there was light in the tunnel. The strange way

there was courage in the ghetto, and there was hope, human hope, in the death camps. Simply an anonymous prisoner giving a piece of his bread to someone who was hungrier than he or she; a father shielding his child; a mother trying to hold back her tears so her children would not see her pain—that was courage.”

Elie Wiesel was one of the giants of our time. He who helped us remember will always be remembered. Rest in peace, brother Elie.

Bandits get bats going, suffer defensive errors TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The Cranbrook Bandits had an up-anddown tournament in Montana last weekend, posting a 3-2 record riddled with high scoring games that also included some defensive lapses.

Over four days of American Legion baseball action, the Bandits posted three wins — one of which was earned from a bunt-off after finishing with a 3-3 tie — while also suffering two losses during the fourday event in Polson.

Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek said the boys were hitting well, but also lost control of some games due to defensive lapses and infield errors.

“We were hitting well and pitching well, for the most part,” Mrazek said. “It was a little bit slow to get started on the mound, but then we settled down and started cruising.”

The Bandits got the tournament started with a 12-10 come-from-behind win over the Clark Fork Vipers, scoring 10 runs in the fourth inning to storm to the win.

It was an explosive offensive outburst that came on the heels of

giving up eight runs in the second inning to their opponents.

Noah Rennette ran home three times, while Brandon Thorn also scored twice. Cedar Kemp and Linden Meggison both led the way at bat with three RBI’s each.

On the mound, Tyler Thorn, Rylan D’Etcheverry and Brandon Thorn shared pitching duties. Both Thorns threw three strikeouts each, while D’Etcheverry out-dueled a single batter.

Next up, the Bandits took on the Dillon Cubs and got demolished at 12-2. It was a close early game, as the Cubs went up 4-2 after the first inning, however, an eightrun inning in the fifth sealed the fate for the Bandits.

On Saturday, the Bandits went to a buntoff after seven innings and were successful in coming out on top over the Deer Lodge Wranglers.

Both sides were even, scoring single runs each in the first inning, and scoring twice in the third inning, setting up a defensive battle for the rest of the game.

Tyler Thorn and

Cedar Kemp both scored and had an RBI, while Kei Chlopan also made it across home plate, with Brandon Thorn notching a single RBI. On the mound, Tyler Thorn went the distance with nine strikeouts and only seven hits allowed.

Sunday’s matchup against the Kootenai Valley Rangers featured another comeback for

the Bandits, erasing a two-run deficit in the fifth inning to win 12-10.

Linden Meggison was on fire at the plate, posting four RBI’s, while Tyler Thorn also posted three RBIs. Thorn also scored twice, along with Kei Chlopan, while Cedar Kemp came across home three times.

Brandon Thorn and Dan Mercandelli han-

dled the majority of pitching duties, while Carson Meggison also briefly stepped up to the mound.

Mrazek says his team is staying focused, even when going down early on the scoreboard.

“Lately, other teams have scored first,” Mrazek said. “But the team has done a good job of staying in it. The

kids aren’t getting down and they know we’re going to score eventually.”

The Bandits capped off their tournament with a tough final game against the Missoula Pioneers, giving up two runs in the final inning to fall 6-5.

Carson Meggison and Hayden Mastel both threw three strike-

outs for the majority of pitching duties, while Tyler Thorn also briefly stood in.

Mrazek says the team has two practices left this week before heading off to another tournament in Kalispell. The focus will be getting in reps and simulating game situations to identify and cut down on infield errors.

THN reports Kostin will not report to Ice TAYLOR ROCC A

Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News is reporting that Kootenay Ice prospect Klim Kostin will not report to North America for the 2016-17 season.

The Ice selected the 17-year-old Russian with the first overall pick at the CHL Import Draft.

Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Ice, was optimistic Kostin — a 6-foot3, 183-pound forward — was going to report and play in the WHL this fall.

“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 after the import draft.

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

According to Kennedy, Kostin has signed a contract with Moscow Dynamo of the Kontinental Hockey League and will have the opportunity to make the pro club during pre-season.

The Ice also selected defenceman Nikita Radzivilyuk at the import draft. He is expected to report to training camp.

The Bavarian Barbarians hosted the Rossland Trail Roller Girls in in the Dam Derby Jam on July 2. The event had an excellent turnout from the community. This was a nail-biting game with the Bavarians leading slightly in score throughout the majority of the bout. With two minutes left in game time there was only a three-point difference. In the end the Rossland Trail Roller Girls took the lead and won the bout 223-207. Both teams played with tenacity, but for the Barbarians the real win was the team work they brought to the track. This was fourth bout of the season for the Barbarians, the last three they traveled out of town to compete. This was the most significant bout of the year for them, being able to play on home turf. There is nothing quite like have your friends and family in the crowd to cheer you on. The skaters really molded together and were able to execute strong plays as a team. Thank you to all of those who made it out to watch and to volunteer! Be sure to like them on Facebook to keep up to date with all of the local Roller Derby happenings.

Over 3100 athletes ready for the 2016 BC Summer Games T

B L AC K P R E S S/TOW N S M A N S TA F F

he Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games kick off in less than one month and 3181 of BC’s best emerging high performance talents have registered and are ready to be part of this celebration of sport and community which runs July 21-24.

The 2,448 athletes are from every corner of the province and have trained to earn a place to represent their zone at the Games. Competing in 18 different sports, the athletes are an average of 14 years old and for most, this will be their first experience at a multi-sport Games.

Forty-five athletes and their coaches from Cranbrook and 17 from Kimberley will be joining the Zone 1 (Kootenays) team. See full list below).

These athletes will be supported by 473 coaches and 260 officials who have completed their certification in order to provide the best knowledge and expertise to the athletes and the competition.

Volunteers in Abbotsford have been preparing for the past 18 months to host the Games – the second time this community has done so. There will be over 3,000 volunteers working to ensure the participants have exceptional competition and a first-rate experience with Opening and Closing Ceremonies, special events, and wonderful hospitality.

“The tremendous sport facilities in Abbotsford combined with experienced and enthusiastic volunteers will make for a memorable event in July,” said Kelly Mann, President and CEO of the BC Games Society. “These BC Summer Games will be the first step for many athletes towards future national and international level competitions and we look forward to following their journey.”

The BC Summer Games has been the starting point for many athletes who have gone on to higher levels of sport. The last time Abbotsford hosted the BC Summer Games was in 2004 and it was where some of today’s top athletes got their start including Brett Lawrie, who now plays Major League Baseball with the Chicago White Sox and 2012 Olympic medalists Richard Weinberger (swimming) and Gillian Carelton (cycling).

As the BC Games conclude, all eyes will be on the next Games this summer with Team Canada preparing for the Olympic and Paralympics in Rio. BC Games alumni will be front and centre with athletes like Nikola Girke (sailing), Emily Overholt (swimming), and Fred Winters (volleyball) set to represent our country.

Interesting ways to enjoy travel

Research indicates that traveling is at the top of the list of interests motivating today’s men and women over the age of 50.

Seniors are perhaps the most likely demographic to indulge their love of traveling. Retirement leaves lots of time for recreation, and many choose to spend that time on the road. Travel also can be improve adult longevity, says geriatricians at the University of Arkansas.

Those in the travel industry understand that men and women over 50 comprise a large percentage of their customers and have catered many travel packages toward this influential demographic. The following is a look at some of the more popular travel opportunities for men and women over 50.

• Genealogical tourism: This is one of the fastest-growing markets in vacation travel. Genealogical tourism involves individuals traveling to areas of historical significance for their families, such as churches where past relatives may have married and villages where grandparents or cousins once resided or were employed.

This can create a tangible link to one’s past and open up more opportunities to learn the varied genealogical history that has shaped a family, and even one’s personal identity.

• Extended vacations: Seniors may have the capacity to devote

more time to travel and not be caged in by strict time constraints. That makes them eligible for extended vacations.

These can include long-term rentals in tropical locales, several-week sightseeing cruises or guided tours overseas that touch on several different countries or cities during the trip.

• Off the beaten path: Adventurous travelers may not be content to stick to the resort lifestyle or standard vacation options. Active men and women over 50 are charting their own vacation courses with bucket list-style vacations that may be off the beaten path. Travelers who have always aspired to climb a mountain or see a rain forest may be inclined to realize these goals as they get older. Nontraditional tours can include living like indigenous peoples or following the footsteps of early explorers.

• All-inclusive tours: All-inclusive packages remain a popular option for travelers of all ages.

These vacation packages charge one price for accommodations, entertainment, sightseeing, food, and many other amenities. All-inclusive vacations remove some of the headaches associated with organizing various components of travel so that a person can focus on relaxation and having fun.

• Singles meets: Single vacationers over 50 may want to meet other men or women in their age

bracket in the hopes of finding romance. These vacations double as relationship mixers and give men and women the opportunity to mingle with others in similar situations without the pressure of traditional dating.

Travel is a way to see the world, meet new people and experience various cultures. Seniors increasingly embrace travel because they have both the time and the means to take vacations.

SAME PHYSIOTHERAPIST, SAME GREAT LOCATION, NEW NAME

WE OFFER

Fountain of Youth Did you know there is a fountain of youth close to where you live? Actually, there are several. They consist of the Cranbrook Aquatic Centre, the Kimberley Aquatic Centre (when it is open again!) and all our beautiful local lakes. Why do I call these places ‘a fountain of youth?’ Well, where else can you exercise safely, without stress on your joints, have fun, work your heart and lungs, and get a massage effect to eliminate pain, swelling, and discomfort – all at the same time? In the water, that’s where!

Why exercise in the water? *No Gravity! The buoyancy of the water removes most of the effect of gravity, so that the load on the joints is much reduced. This means that people with arthritis or joint pain, muscle weakness or pain, or who are very ‘out-of-shape’, can move with greater ease and do exercises that they may be unable to do on land. The pool is the best place to exercise for people who have had or who are waiting to have a joint replacement. In some cases, surgery can be postponed indefinitely because of the improved movement and strength gained in the water, and in any case, recovery is usually much faster and easier with pre and post op work in the pool. *Makes you stronger and more fit! The viscosity of the water provides total body resistance, which provides muscle strengthening. And you can work at your own level: people with limited physical fitness can do a light workout, or people who are very fit and active can do cross training to make their regular on-land workouts more effective – and anything in between. Even walking in the water is great exercise – and really works the core. *Less pain! The hydrostatic pressure of the water improves circulation, decreases swelling, and allows for greater ease in moving stiff joints. Most people find they have less pain and better movement in the water. The pool also provides a great way to improve balance without the fear of falling.

It’s fun! The greatest thing I find about the water is that it’s enjoyable. You don’t have to be a swimmer. You don’t have to get your hair wet or put your face in the water. You don’t have to worry about how you look in your bathing suit. (If it really bothers you, wear a t-shirt!) You get a great workout, and leave the water feeling relaxed. And it’s social – if you want to visit while you exercise, go right ahead.

Both of our local pools offer both deep and shallow aquafit classes, as well as classes for seniors.

The Cranbrook pool offers Senior Swim and Functional Fitness Classes, and Joint Mobility Classes.

The Kimberley pool offers the ‘Twinges in the Hinges’ Class, as well as Seniors Aquafit.

with me, Karen Cornish. I have been a physiotherapist for over 30 years. I am also a Certified Aquatic Therapist, and I know what wonderful benefits the water can offer, especially to seniors. I can assess you, find out what issues you want to address, and tailor a pool (or lake!) program just for you. Then you can either work on your own, or join in one of the public classes, but with a better idea of how to safely and effectively improve your fitness, balance, endurance, movement …

What are you waiting for? Come on in – the water’s fine!

How to avoid growing bored in retirement From the moment young men and women first walk into the office for their first day as a working professional until the day they officially retire, the notion of planning for retirement is never far from their minds. But when the day to hang up the briefcase and donate all those business suits arrives, some retirees wonder what to do next. Some retirees know exactly how they will spend their days when they no longer have to work, while others who decide to play it by ear may find themselves battling boredom.

For those among the latter group, it’s important to understand that many retirees find themselves bored once they no longer have to focus on a career. Jobs keep men and women busy and provide a sense of purpose in their lives, so it’s understandable that retirees feel bored once those jobs are no longer a part of their lives. But just because you no longer have an office to go to every day does not mean life cannot be as fulfilling or

even more fulfilling than it was when you were still working. You just need to find something to avoid succumbing to retirement boredom.

• Work part-time. Though it might seem odd to start working right after you retire, a part-time job can provide the type of structure you have grown accustomed to without all of the responsibility that comes with a fulltime career. Part-time jobs can range from consultancy work that makes use of your professional experience to something entirely different like landscape maintenance at a nearby golf course that gets you out of the house and enjoying the warmer seasons.

Whichever you choose, make sure it’s something you find fun and interesting.

• Embrace a new hobby. Working professionals often say they wish they had time to pursue a hobby. Now that you are retired, you have all the time in the world to do just that. Whether it’s perfecting your golf game, writing that novel, learning to cook like a

gourmet chef or whatever else you might have always wanted to do, retirement is a great time to do it.

• Get in shape. If retirement boredom has started to negatively affect your mood, one great way to conquer your boredom and improve your mood at the same time is to start exercising.

Exercise is a natural mood enhancer. When the body exercises, it releases chemicals knowns as endorphins, which trigger positive feelings in the body. In addition, regular exercise has been shown to reduce stress, boost self-esteem and improve sleep.

Working out at a gym also is a great way to meet fellow retirees in your community, and the energy you have after exercising may give you the boost you need to pursue other hobbies.

• Volunteer. If a part-time job is not up your alley, then consider volunteering in your community.

Volunteers are always in demand, and volunteering with a local charity can provide a sense of purpose and provide opportunities to meet like-minded fellow retirees, all while helping to quell your boredom. Retirees who love to travel can combine their passion for volunteering with their love of travel by signing up to work with an international relief organization that travels abroad to help the less fortunate.

Upon retiring, many retirees initially find themselves coping with boredom. But there are many ways to avoid the restlessness of retirement.

Embracing a new hobby is one way for recently retired men and women to avoid growing bored during retirement.

Living 50 Plus The best (and worst) foods for heart health

No one wants to hear from their doctors that they have joined the millions of people across the globe to be diagnosed with heart disease. The Heart Foundation reports that heart disease, which includes diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system and stroke, is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, affecting both men and women and most racial/ethnic groups. Heart disease also is one of the leading causes of death in Canada, claiming more than 33,000 lives per year.

Many factors contribute to the development of heart disease, including smoking, lack of exercise and stress. Diet and whether a person is overweight or obese also can have a direct link to heart health.

Diet, particularly for those with diabetes and poorly controlled blood sugar levels, is a major concern.

A variety of foods are considered helpful for maintaining a strong and healthy heart and cardiovascular system, while others can contribute to conditions that may eventually lead to cardiovascular disease or cardiac arrest. Moderation enables a person to sample a little of everything, but not to make any one food a habit. The following are some foods to promote heart health and some foods you might want to avoid.

Good • Tree nuts: Tree nuts contain unsaturated fats that can help lower LDL cholesterol (the bad stuff) and improve HDL (the good stuff). Nuts also are a filling source of protein and other healthy nutrients.

• Whole grains: Whole grains contain complex carbohydrates for energy, as well as protein and fiber. Fiber can help scrub cholesterol from the blood, lowering bad cholesterol levels.

• Fatty fish: Many cold-water, fatty fish, such as halibut, herring and salmon, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are heart-healthy. Omega-3s also can be found in walnuts, flaxseed and some soy products.

• Beans: Beans and other legumes are an excellent source of protein and can be a stand-in for meats that are high in saturated fat. Beans also con-

tain cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber and folate, which can reduce blood homocystein levels. The Bean Institute reports that consuming beans may reduce cholesterol levels by roughly six to 10 percent.

• Yogurt: Researchers in Japan found yogurt may protect against gum disease. Left untreated, gum disease may elevate a person’s risk for heart disease.

Yogurt contains good bacteria that can counteract bad bacteria and boost immunity.

• Raisins: Raisins contain antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation. Inflammation is often linked to heart disease and other debilitating conditions. Fresh produce also is a good source of antioxidants.

Poor • Fried foods: Many fried foods have little nutritional value, as they tend to be high in saturated and trans fats. French fries are particularly bad because they are carbohydrates fried and then doused in salt.

• Sausage: Processed meats have frequently earned a bad reputation among cardiologists, but sausage can be a big offender, due in large part to its high saturated fat content.

• Red meats: Enjoying a steak is probably not as bad as eating a deep-fried brownie, but it’s best to limit red meat consumption to about 10 percent or less of your diet. Red meats can have a considerable amount of cholesterol, saturated fat and calories.

• Added sugars: Sugar can increase blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Sugar often hides out in foods that you would not associate with the sweetener. Plus, many people unwittingly consume too much sugar simply through sugar-sweetened beverages and ready-to-eat cereals.

• Salty foods: Leave the salt shaker in the spice cabinet and opt for herbs for flavoring, advises the American Heart Association. High-sodium diets often are to blame for hypertension, a major risk factor for heart disease.

• Dairy: Artery-clogging saturated fat also can be found in dairy products, particularly the full-fat versions. Butter, sour cream and milk can be problematic when people overindulge. Opt for low-fat dairy when possible.

Bennett insisted the Site C project is not accelerated for the political purposes of the B.C. Liberals, who are seeking a fifth term of majority government in May 2017.

A growing population and economy, plus a push to shift to electric cars and other fuel reduction strategies are all dependent on increased use of electricity, he said.

Funding for local projects will help species, ecosystems $725,000 investment in the Upper Kootenay River watershed ANGUS GL ASS

Fourteen fish and wildlife projects aimed at the Upper Kootenay River watershed are getting underway thanks to the Upper Kootenay Ecosystem Enhancement Plan (UKEEP).

This is the second year that projects have been delivered through UKEEP, and in 2016-17 projects valued at more than $725,000 are expected to continue to show positive results for local fish and wildlife.

Species that will benefit include: Westslope Cutthroat, Bull and Rainbow Trout; Mule and White-tailed Deer; Wolverine; Bighorn Sheep; Lewis’s Woodpecker; and many other grassland birds.

This year, UKEEP funding is approved for six fish and eight wildlife projects, including invasive weed control, removing fish barriers, and urban deer relocation. Other projects approved for 2016-17 include: • Bull Trout inventory and recovery in Wildhorse River; • assessing the sustainability of Wolverine harvest; • Alexander Creek habitat restoration and enhancement; • identifying key habitats for Long-billed Curlews; and • 144-hectare open grassland habitat restoration near Newgate to help ungulates.

Projects are being delivered by a mix of local stewardship groups, environmental organizations, consultants and First Nations.

“Last year, UKEEP funds supported a variety of projects in the East Kootenay,” says FWCP Columbia Region Manager, Crystal Klym. “Fish barriers were removed on Wickman Creek to

open up prime spawning and rearing habitat.

Grasslands near Elko were restored to improve ungulate habitat and invasive weeds were treated on 22 different conservation properties.”

“We thank all those who work to conserve and enhance the natural assets of the region,” said Kindy Gosal, Columbia Basin Trust Director, Special Initiatives. “These 14 projects speak to the variety of challenges our region faces, to the dedication of Basin residents to address these challenges, and to how individual endeavours can generate significant results.”

“Working with the Trust, we anticipate building a solid foundation of effective and results-based projects under UKEEP that guide conservation efforts in this watershed,” added Klym.

“I would like to thank our partners with BC Hydro, Columbia Basin Trust, and the federal government,” said Bill Bennett, MLA for Kootenay East. “Through these projects, we can continue to ensure the vibrancy of fish and wildlife populations throughout our region.”

The FWCP administers UKEEP projects through a funding partnership with Columbia Basin Trust, which provided $3 million over three to five years.

FWCP is a partnership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and Public Stakeholders, to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife impacted by BC Hydro dams. To see the full list of projects supported under UKEEP for 201617, and other FWCP projects, visit fwcp.ca.

The Kootenay Country Fair organising committee wants you to know that we are just shy of two months until the 39th Annual Kootenay Country Fair on September 11, 2016 at Fort Steele Heritage Town.

In one month the registration book will be out so you can sign up for your favorite category in the Fair. The committee meets monthly in the lead up to the fair to gather volunteers, organise events and the program, and decide on display ideas and entertainment for the Fair.

What does a country fair have to offer you? This year you will find a new and exciting event sponsored and run by Save on Foods: the 1st Annual Zucchini Races. Put wheels on one of the many zucchinis that will be growing in your garden this summer and decorate it up, send it down the track and see how fast it goes and if it wins. Use your creative and engineering mind then have some fun.

The Fair offers exhib-

The Fair Committee invites you to enter your growing talents in the produce and flower sections or to enter your creative talents in the craft or photography section. You can build a scarecrow or learn about bees. The possibilities are boundless but you do need to follow some rules about entries. Look for those details when you pick up your booklet in late July early August at the

usual outlets: TopCrop in Cranbrook and Kimberley and Cranbrook Photo on Baker Street.

For those who want to make sure they have a ticket for the Fair you can find pre-sale tickets at Cranbrook Chamber and Kimberley Chamber as well as The Choice in Cranbrook and the Snowdrift in Kimberley. On the day of the Fair you can get your tickets at the gate at Fort Steele Heritage Town. Pre-sales are on after the booklets are out.

PUBLIC NOTICE

FUELS MANAGEMENT TREATMENT TO TAKE PLACE IN THE KIMBERLEY NATURE PARK AND THE KIMBERLEY NORDIC AREA As part of our Community Wildfire Management Program and through a grant from UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities), the City of Kimberley will be treating 27 hectares in the North West corner of the Kimberley Nature Park and on the center East side of the Nordic Centre in the Richardson’s Cut area.

The objectives of this treatment are to reduce the risk of catastrophic fires in the Wildland Urban Interface adjacent to the City of Kimberley by reducing active crown fire potential, reducing surface fire intensity, long range spotting and increase wildfire resilience.

The treatments will include removal of surface and ladder fuels through piling and chipping with pile burning in the fall

Calling all former Fair presenters, this summer we have the opportunity to put up a display in the Cranbrook Public Library foyer. If you have your best painting or craft, knitted item or quilt or lego creation please call 250-489-0174 about bringing your item for display to show what others can submit for show at the Fair. You can email rdmrodgers@ gmail.com for details as

well.

With less than two months there is still time to tend that special berry bush that will make you the best red ribbon preserves or nurture that baby zucchini to grow into a giant that will win you recognition in the 1st Annual Zucchini race at the 39th Annual Kootenay Country Fair, September 11, 2016. See you at the Fair.

Congratulations to our

for this week’s movie listings

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your upbeat attitude goes far in making a strong impression.

Others are sure you know much more than they do, and they trust you. Your intuition could be in conflict with a situation. Be more alert about what is happening with this particular matter. Tonight: Take a leap of faith.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll hit an obstacle and will reassess your chosen direction.

You are likely to find solutions when others feel there are none.

Be careful when dealing with a loved one, as he or she might demand too much or create an unnecessary conflict. Tonight: Go with the flow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll need to defer to a partner, but he or she seems to be so closed down that you could have difficulty following through.

Understand what is happening at work, as you might be too focused on checking out expenses for your home. Tonight: Curl up

with a good book.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Consider what is happening and what direction you are heading in. You could feel as if your fatigue is normal, considering what you have on your plate.

You will get calls and hear requests that you might need to respond to. Tonight: Talk and visit with a friend all you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more aware of the costs of maintaining your current lifestyle. You might not want to cut back, but it could be necessary right now. A partner or loved one might not be realistic in assessing what needs to be completed. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Lady Luck seems to direct you with a friend who cares a lot but can be intrusive at times.

You might be tired of hearing the same old story. Your fatigue could be overwhelming, especially when dealing with a family member. Tonight: Opt for fun and games.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Garfield

Not sure about the whole

Hagar the Horrible

Stress builds, and you have an unusual amount of concerns that you might not feel free to discuss just yet. Your instinct to shut down speaks for itself. You might not have a realistic grasp on how much you need to get done. Tonight: Pace yourself.

Take a nap if need be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on what you want, and don’t hesitate to ask for more of what you need. Others initially might decide that they can’t fulfill your requests, but they will eventually, given some time and space; you don’t need to push.

Tonight: Allow a friend to talk you into going out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might need to pull away and not get involved with a problem; however, events could push you in a new direction.

Your intuition points to a new level of action. Don’t let a personal situation sabotage you -be aware of what it represents.

Tonight: Don’t get carried away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Read between the lines when trying to understand the whole

story. You will do best if you listen to your intuition rather than try to figure out what is going on. You might need to change your plans at the last minute.

Tonight: Don’t get upset about what is happening around you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have been pushed to the very limit, and it is obvious.

Communication jumps from topic to topic and offers a multitude of possibilities. Don’t push someone away, especially a friend, because of his or her unusual moodiness; he or she needs you. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Defer to someone else, since you know full well that he or she could handle whatever comes up. You might have other matters on your mind that you need to sort out. You inadvertently could be adding confusion to the mix. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 31 fantastic years. Six years ago, “Shelley” was promoted, and her new job required her to do a lot of out-of-state business travel.

Shelley is very efficient and keeps annual logbooks with the details of her business travel. While I was cleaning up the basement storage area a few weeks ago, I came across her old logbooks, dating back to 1998. Out of curiosity, I opened one, and it had details of a business meeting with a male client -- their dinner and conversation, as well as the details of her activities with him in her hotel room. I was totally shocked to read the things they had done.

Shelley was out of town, so for the next three evenings, I went through all of her logbooks.

Each had details similar to the first, not only with that man, but with two others. She has been with these three men on a regular basis.

Should I tell her that I know about her secret life or pretend I am still unaware of it? We are happily married, or so I thought. -- Clueless in New York Dear Clueless: Ignorance may be bliss, but you are no longer ignorant, and you are not going to simply forget the information in those logbooks. Tell Shelley what you found, and ask her to go with you for counseling. Your wife needs to put her marriage first, and that means making it more important than her job, which apparently provides too great a temptation.

Dear Annie: I am 12 years old, and my mom has a terrible habit. Whenever she relaxes, she picks at her armpit and leg hair. She claims it’s because she is stressed. She started doing this about two years ago, and my family has been disgusted ever since. We have told her many times that this makes us sick, but she supposedly can’t stop. What can we do? -- Disgusted in California Dear California: Yuck. Your mom probably has little control over this habit. It sounds like trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling), and she may need therapy or medication to overcome it. You and your dad should contact the Trichotillomania Learning Center (www. trich.org), 303 Potrero St., Suite 51, Santa Cruz, CA 95060.

Dear Annie: My 75-year-old father recently had surgery, which went extremely well. Dad was able to move comfortably and seemed reasonably at ease upon arriving home.

The problem is, the doctor told Dad to “eat moderately.” Dad thinks this means a diet of about 300 calories. His “moderate” food intake for the day is two or three pieces of lightly buttered toast, and tea with skim milk. That’s it.

It is possible the doctor explained his diet in more detail, but Dad has only partial hearing (God forbid he get a hearing aid as the world would end), and he may have missed instructions. We’ve asked Dad to take notes or bring a tape recorder, but he is embarrassed to do so. It would have been so helpful if the doctor could have written down some diet suggestions in the post-surgery packet, and perhaps a listing of sample meals. Medical personnel may not realize that older patients come home to caregivers who are completely mystified by these bits and pieces of information.

Right now, we’re hoping that Dad’s hunger pangs will force him into the kitchen for a more realistic diet. -- Connecticut Dear Conn.: You are right that older patients often are too embarrassed to ask for clarification when they cannot hear instructions, and it is a good idea for adult children or caregivers to inform the doctor’s office of this before surgery.

Don’t wait for those hunger pangs. Call Dad’s doctor immediately and explain the problem.

Your father is starving himself on 300 calories.

He will lose weight and weaken, and that could undermine his recovery. Ask the doctor to send you written instructions or refer you to a nutritionist who will put Dad on an appropriate diet.

A N A S TA S I A B A R T L E T T

he other day, a member of a Facebook page I like announced his book was now available to be purchased on Amazon. This news was greeted with ‘likes’ and ‘loves’ and congratulations. I did not respond, the guy isn’t someone I know, I shrugged. ‘Besides,’ that little snarky voice whispered, ‘how come he gets to publish and sell his book and I don’t?’

Yup, snarky voice is still there and this isn’t the first time I’ve failed to congratulate someone. Even when people I know achieve success in their writing, it’s with envy I offer a ‘well done’ or press the ‘like’ button. There’s a part of me which feels like they have bested me at life and are now rubbing my nose in it. But this time, I recognized the ridiculousness of my envy. Was his success and my sincere congratulations somehow going to limit my future successes? Was there was a limited amount of success floating around out there and anyone who had some meant there was less for me?

Why did I feel this way? I come from a generation raised on competition. There was only one first place ever presented. There were only a limited supply of scholarships or grants available. A parent only had limited time to spend with a child, only so much attention and love to give, there were only two cookies left in the cookie jar and three kids …

Every person who received a coveted prize meant there was less chance I would get one as well.

So, in a competition, the success of one competitor is achieved at the expense of another. This is the world’s way. I find it difficult to sincerely congratulate anyone on achieving any their goals because deep down inside, I’m afraid their achievements make mine less likely. This may be the world’s way, but is it God’s?

There were two men who both spent a summer building houses for the needy. One did it because he saw it as a positive addition to both his business resume and his reputation as a caring person, something the ladies liked. The other young man did it because he truly wanted to serve God by helping the needy. Now the families receiving the houses didn’t care about the motives of either young man. They were grateful to anyone who helped. But God cared.

In the parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25, Jesus tells the story of ten young women waiting for the bridegroom to come in the middle of the night.

Five wise virgins had sufficient oil for their lamps to last until the arrival. Five foolish virgins did not.

They had to leave, at one point, to buy more oil.

When they came back, the bridegroom had come and gone and they had been left behind.

Saint Anthony the Great tells us “we are influenced by three wills: the first is God’s all-perfect and all-saving will; the second is our own human will which, if not destructive, neither is it saving; and the third will is the devil’s will, wholly destructive.”

The devil’s will encourages us to do nothing good or to do something good if it helps our selfish pursuits. Our own will wants us to be hedonistic, to pursue happiness for happiness sake and to do good ‘cause it makes us happy. God’s all-saving will means we do things for others for God’s sake. When we seek God’s will and open our hearts to others, we acquire the grace of the Holy Spirit, an eternal, inexhaustible, priceless treasure. This grace is the oil which the foolish virgins lacked and the oil which the wise virgins had. This grace was acquired by the second young man and was totally absent in the first.

So if I’m doing things for worldly success I will always feel envy because I will always be competing. But if I’m doing things to acquire the grace of the Holy Spirit, the priceless and infinite well of joy, then I should easily be able to rejoice in the achievements of others.

(Now, I just have to stop congratulating myself that my motives are purer then theirs, stupid little snarky voice …)

Provincial campsite rush mostly B.C. residents TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Foreign visitors and those on package tours are a small fraction of the demand for B.C. Parks campgrounds around the province, but B.C. resident campers are still using a few tricks to get spaces for high-demand parks.

Some have protested the use of online reservations by motorhome tour operators who sell them as part of a package for tourists.

“Our provincial campsites are not products to be sold, they belong to the people of B.C.,” Green Party leader Andrew Weaver said this week.

Environment Minister Mary Polak told Black Press numbers are being tracked for the current year, and the proportions haven’t

Solitude in the wilderness is still available in B.C., between holiday weekends when demand peaks. changed much. In 2015, fewer than one per cent of reservable B.C. Parks spaces were booked by tour operators, who also use private camping facilities.

Three quarters of

reservations are from within B.C. The second highest share is from Alberta at 14 per cent, the U.S. accounts for 3.6 per cent, the rest of Canada 2.8 per cent, and all European countries com-

bined are 6.6 per cent of the total.

The B.C. Parks system has 10,700 camping spaces in total, and 5,600 are reservable, to manage demand for the most popular spots.

Logging company ordered to replant after audit of Creston-area operations C ANADIAN PRESS

The Forest Practices Board in British Columbia says trees have not been replanted after cutting in the Selkirk Natural Resource District near Creston.

It has ordered an unnamed logging operator to develop a plan to replant in the areas it audited.

Board chairman Tim Ryan

says in a news release that the licensee hasn’t harvested any cutblocks in the last two years.

But he says new trees weren’t planted on seven cutblocks that were logged in the past.

The audit examined planning, road maintenance, and silviculture activities conducted between September 2013 and September

Results show the operator met all necessary requirements for planning and road maintenance.

First-come, firstserved sites are kept out of the reservation system in some popular locations to accommodate travellers who drop in along the road. For high-demand periods like the recent Canada Day weekend, savvy campers work the reservation system.

At Golden Ears Provincial Park, one group booked for two weeks as soon as the 90-day eligibility window opened, then dropped the first

week, giving them the coveted Canada Day weekend dates before they were generally available.

“Every year we look to change things to keep people from cheating, and every year they find new ways,” Polak said.

“Really the only answer is going to be finding a way to expand the number of sites that we have available.”

It’s shaping up as a record year for the Discover Camping reserva-

tion service, with 92,000 bookings so far this year.

B.C. Parks has added four new sites for this summer. Reservations can be made for Garibaldi Provincial Park in the Whistler area, Ruckle Provincial Park on Saltspring Island, Okanagan Falls Provincial Park, Inland Lake Provincial Park near Powell River and Dry Gulch Provincial Park near Radium Hot Springs.

New funding to help kids with behaviour problems Program aims to help parents become more confident dealing with aggression, defiance

vere learning disability and ADHD. Littlejohn said getting her son ready for school or bedtime was a huge struggle, but she learned ways to give mild consequences for negative behaviour and support for positive behaviour.

“I have a more positive relationship (with my son). William is able to use those skills with me.”

The mental health association reported that four out of five parents who took part in the program said they saw an improvement in their child’s behaviour and reported feeling more confident in their parenting and coping skills.

Bev Gutray, the CEO for the association’s B.C. arm, said this program is particularly effective because it focuses on early intervention and prevention.

“We will see the benefits from this program years from now,” she said. “Parents are committed to the health of their children. They are signing up for the full 14 weeks and that tells us how motivated parents are.”

She said she hopes the government will eventually grant the funding every year, especially with 200 families already on the wait list.

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said her ministry will monitor the success of the program over time.

“It’s one of the things we’re doing in our cross-government mental health strategy,” Cadieux said. “We don’t know yet about next year, but certainly this is a program we believe has great potential.”

VANCOUVER - Canada’s largest credit union is warning that young workers who have long since abandoned hope of owning a home in the Vancouver area are now being priced out of the city’s rental market.

A new report from Vancity Canadian Press

explores the tight rental market across Vancouver and the problem it poses for the socalled millennial generation.

Vancity vice-president of community investment, William Azaroff, says the report shows only the Marpole and East Hastings neighbourhoods remain affordable for
