Rose-tinted Glasses and DaVINci Paint Night MIKE REDFERN For the Bulletin

On Monday evening, August 8, world-travelling photographer Edward Butterworth will entertain the audience in the Theatre at Centre 64 with his magnificent images of “Historic Mexico through Rose-tinted Glasses”.

Then, on Tuesday afternoon, August 9, he will offer a workshop in Studio 64 in which he will help participants to put on those rose-tinted glasses to enhance their own photographs.

Edward Butterworth is not a name widely known in the BC Interior as he lives in Victoria, where his pictures have been widely shown. In 1972 a young Edward Butterworth loaded up a Pentax SLR with three lenses and ten rolls of Kodachrome and took off for Asia for five months which he then followed by two world tours similarly weighed down. Photography used to be a cumbersome business! Now he

travels with a pocket-size digital ‘point & shoot’ which, he asserts, takes better pictures and stores over 1000 of them. On Monday evening he will present images of Mexico’s pre-Columbian ruins, photos of the streets and buildings of St. Miquel, the squares and fountains of Guanajuato, and

Diego Rivera’s murals in Mexico City, all modified and enhanced using Photoshop.

In Tuesday’s handson, how-to workshop he will show participants how to take and make evocative photographs, treating photography as an art form. Participants will explore composition, quality of light,

Kimberley arts and culture projects receive funding C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

A total $706,000 in funding support for arts, culture and heritage projects has been announced. The funds are delivered through the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance in partnership with CBT. In addition to supporting the Columbia Basin Cultural Tour, a number of individual projects in Kimberley will be receiving support.

Among them are Kimberley Kaleidoscope Puppet Theatre: Kimberley Arts Council, $1,130; Youth Band (One For Five) 10-Song CD: Fraser Armstrong $1,300; Art on Deer Park: Kimberley Arts Council / Centre 64 Society $300; and the Selkirk Trio Afternoon Tea Concert: Kimberley Arts Council $1,190.

Two heritage projects in Kimberley are also receiving funding under major capital projects.

The Kimberley Elks Lodge will receive $7,990 for preservation of their bowling alley, one of the few pin set alleys remaining in Canada. The Sullivan Underground Mining Railway Society will receive $20,000 to create a permanent display for the massive core sample collection from the Sullivan Mine which was recently donated by geologist Paul Ransom.

“In recent weeks we have heard from many grant recipients how much the funding from the Columbia Basin Trust means to them.

We are also seeing for the first time the wonderful results of a CKCA major project grant from 2013/14, currently on display at the Kootenay Gallery in Castlegar.

The results of this fund-

ing stream are not always immediate, but often they are well worth the wait! The members of the CKCA Steering Committee are very pleased to continue our relationship with the Columbia Basin Trust, fostering excellence in the arts, heritage and culture community across the region.” said Jacquie Hamilton, Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance Chair.

CKCA administers and manages arts, culture and heritage program funding on behalf of the Trust. Funding applications were adjudicated in May by the CKCA Steering Committee, with input from community arts councils. Support will go toward a wide range of projects, including individual and group projects, master classes, major exhibitions and heritage capital projects.

MP touring riding for electoral reform feedback TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Electoral reform is on the mind of Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski, who will be touring the riding this month to gather feedback to bring to Ottawa in the fall.

The issue was one of three major planks that Stetski says has the potential to significantly change the country, with physician-assisted dying and the legalization of marijuana being the other two.

Stetski will make stops at coffee shops in communities across the region and will be at the Snowdrift Cafe in Kimberley from 9 - 10 a.m. and Hot Shots Cafe in Cranbrook from 2 - 3 p.m. on Aug. 15.

To date, a multi-party committee has been formed that will be touring across Canada between now and October collecting information, but won’t be coming to Kootenay-Colum-

Kootenay Columbia MP Wayne Stetski

bia.

“What I’m doing is going out around the riding, stopping in 16 communities in total and getting information

from constituents in terms of what they would like to see happen with our voting future,” Stetski said.

Both the Liberal

Party and the NDP campaigned on changing to a proportional representation system, added Stetski. The Conservative Party favours the current first-past-thepost system.

“It’s been interesting, the Liberals have been under a fair bit of pressure in the House of Commons to potentially hold a referendum on the choice,” Stetski said.

“They, so far anyway, have continually said that Canadians made a choice on October 19th when they elected the Liberals to be the government of Canada, so their approach at this point is to gather as much information from as many people as possible across Canada.

That information goes to the committee, they will then make a recommendation to the Liberal government and then they’ll decide what kind of legislation they’ll want to bring forward to the House of Commons.”

Once Stetski finishes his tour of the riding, he’ll present all constituents’ feedback to the committee.

It’s not the first time

B.C. residents have grappled with electoral reform; at the provincial level, a referendum in 2009 was defeated that would’ve changed the voting system to a proportional representation system through the Single Transferable Vote (STV).

“Provincially, here, the system that was proposed was really quite complicated and hard to explain,” said Stetski.

“People will not vote for change that they don’t understand. “…It was very difficult to understand the process and how the system would work. So this time around any system that goes forward needs to be very simple, very easy to understand.”

Stetski cites, as an example, that if a political party gets 15 per cent of the vote, they should have 15 per cent of representation in the House of Commons.

“The way the system works right now with first-past-the-post is that 39 per cent of Canadians voted for the Liberals and yet they ultimately have a majority in Parliament, and a reasonably good major-

ity, in terms of numbers,” Stetski said.

“Under a proportional representation system, if only 39 per cent of Canadians who voted for Liberals, 39 per cent of the members of parliament would only be Liberal and in order to form a majority government, you’d have to form a coalition of some sorts.”

There are 308 seats in the House of Commons.

In the October election,

the Liberals captured 184, the Conservatives, which lost their majority government, were reduced to 99 seats and the NDP orange wave receded to 44 seats. The Bloc Quebecois picked up 10 seats and the Green Party captured a single seat.

A proportional representation voting system is in use in other countries across the world such as New Zealand and The Netherlands.

The turtles are not for the taking!

Turtle heist thwarted From Page 1 A Conservation Officer from Cranbrook attended the scene. Investigation revealed these families were taking the turtles home with them to have and gift as pets. The individuals, all from out of province, were charged under Section 33(1) the Wildlife Act, Unlawful Possession of Live Wildlife.

“We welcome people to come and see the Western Painted Turtles in their natural habitat. When people decide to hold these turtles in captivity, we need to step in and ensure they remain in the wild.

Smoke visible from fires burning in U.S. Wind from south pushing smoke into East Kootenay FOR THE BULLETIN

The smoke that’s currently visible in many areas of the Southeast Fire Centre is originating from several wildfires burning in Idaho and Washington State.

Depending on wind patterns, smoke can travel long distances.

The communities of Trail, Rossland, Castlegar, Nelson, Cranbrook, Creston (and surrounding areas) will continue to experience smoky conditions so long as the wind from the south continues.

For information about wildfires burning in the United States, visit: http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/ Although there are no significant wildfires in the southeast region that would create the amount of smoke now being seen in the area, 13 BC Wildfire Service personnel are responding two spot-sized fires north of Salmo. These small, l i g h tning-caused fires are not threatening any

communities or structures, but smoke from these fires may be visible from Ymir, Salmo and Highway 6.

From April 1 to Aug. 3, 2016, the BC Wildfire Service has responded to 93 wildfires in the Southeast Fire Centre, which have burned 330 hectares. Fifty-five of those fires were lightning-caused and 38 were human-caused.

Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a violation ticket for $1,150, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 6635555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone. For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, visit: http://www. bcwildfire.ca

stroked and noticed.

And this, this is who his followers want to see in the oval office, in charge of the nuclear codes.

The interesting thing about this is that despite the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week of The Donald, not one of his ardent followers will be swayed by any of this.

1) The gold star parents are Muslim — ‘nuff said. And it’s Hillary’s fault. And also Obama’s.

2) The baby needed to shut up. How dare that baby interrupt The Donald.

3) The Donald may have had five draft deferments but if he had gone to Vietnam he would have been wounded bigger and better than anyone else ever. Huge wounds! Manly wounds!

4) Is Crimea in ‘Murica? No? Then who cares?

5) Of course the election is rigged! Unless Donald wins. Then it’s good.

Nope, Trump supporters will stay true to the end. Polls are way tighter than they should be. Hillary Clinton is far from perfect but she should be trouncing Trump and she’s not. It’s very worrying. Windsor, Ontario is a border city. Are Windsorians going to wake up on the morning of November 9, 2016 and find their parks teeming with fleeing Americans? I guess if there are enough of them, they’ll drive out the snakes.

Christianity for Non–Christians What’s Up?

T

here are lots of assumptions about who Christians are and what we believe out there. Those assumptions have led to strong biases against Christians.

Unfortunately, many of those biases are founded in real–life experience. Too many Christians have done our share of damage when it comes to tarnishing the image of the Church.

But it’s also true that many people tend to understand Christianity as if it’s a monolithic group that can be described in simple and often negative terms.

But it just ain’t so! Generally, the news media tend to portray only one way of understanding Christian faith, but in fact there are many different approaches to it. While many disagree with the way I understand Christianity, it is nevertheless a way shared by many, The beauty of such disagreement is that it allows us to be more open to dialogue so we can learn from each other.

I have tried to present that different vision in my own life and in these columns.

Many people have been grateful. They approach me on the street or in the mall with delight, saying, “I didn’t know you could think about it that way!”

So here are some of the things I think are true of Christian faith … the “Top 4”. At least for now.

1. Christianity is not about getting to heaven; it has to do with how we live in this life.

One of the earliest names for Christians were “people of the way.” They were people who walked in the way of Jesus. The point of Christian faith is not “to get to heaven”. The point is to learn to live in this

world in a compassionate, just and loving way.

Christianity is about so much more than what happens after you die. Jesus was much more concerned about how we live in this world that about what happens after we die. Jesus is not a quick fix or a way to hedge our bets for eternity, just in case.

So let’s take heaven or hell off the table. Let’s just on with being loving and Rev. Yme get compassionate people.

Woensdregt 2. If you don’t feel comfortable praying to Someone, then just pray on or about something.

I don’t conceive of God as some “heavenly father–figure in the sky”. Nor do I believe that God needs or requires me to pray to him or her. Prayer is a spiritual practice in which I learn to be attentive to God’s presence in life. It helps me see that goodness and love are present as I walk in the world. Prayer is about paying attention to walking well in my journey through life. By praying, I engage with life in a fuller way.

On one hand, I seek to identify with those who are hurting as I pray. On the other hand, I try to celebrate the goodness that one can find in life if one simply looks as I pray.

Understood this way, prayer can take many different forms. I pray in many different ways. Sometimes I find a quiet time or space so I can be still and reflect on life.

Sometimes I pray as I am driving. Sometimes I pray in the midst of the busyness of life. Sometimes my actions are my prayer.

There is no single right way to pray.

3. You don’t need to go to church to be a Christian, but doing it alone is much

more difficult.

I understand that some people (many?) resist going to church. But becoming part of a community helps us to go deeper with our faith practices. A community holds us accountable so that our deeds will match our words. A community can encourage us, support us, and help us.

The other value of going to church is that we see “the face of God” in other people … which is precisely what a community is. Like it or not, we need each other.

4. Just being a “good person” or “not hurting anyone else” isn’t enough.

Sometimes I hear people say that they don’t see the need to be a Christian because they already have it more or less figured out. Basically—don’t be a jerk, try not to hurt others, and be kind.

These are all fine, but they are also the same values that kindergarten taught me.

And contrary to the book written by Robert Fulghum, I did not learn everything I needed to know in kindergarten. As I have matured, I have also grown in my knowledge and understanding. Kindergarten knowledge is not enough—not in life, and not in faith. We continue to learn.

And frankly, we need to be stretched that way. Christian faith is more than being nice. People of faith are called to live in ways that make the world better for other people, and indeed for all of creation.

There’s a start for a different way of understand Christian living. The challenge for me, and others like me, is to go out and live it.

The world Index of Ignorance

T

o cut to the chase, the five most ignorant countries in the world are Mexico (a world leader at least in this), India, Brazil, Peru and New Zealand. And the five best informed are South Korea (take a bow), followed by Ireland, Poland, China and the United States. Ignorant about what? About the realities in their own country.

Every year the London-based polling organisation Ipsos Mori does its “Perils of Perception” poll, asking people in many countries what they believe about, say, the proportion of the population who are immigrants, or overweight, or over 65, and comparing their answers with the true numbers.

Putting all the results together, Ipsos Mori then comes up with its famous Index of Ignorance. The level of ignorance is startling – and yet these mistaken beliefs can play a big role in the political choices that countries make.

Take immigration. Almost every country over-estimates the number of immigrants in their population, sometimes by huge amounts. The Chinese, for example, believe that 11 percent of the people in their country are immigrants. The real number is 0.1 percent, so their guess is 110 times too high (and maybe just a little paranoid). Brazilians are just as bad: they think 25 percent of the population are immigrants; it’s really just 0.3 percent.

Most countries do better than that, but not that much better. Americans think 32 percent of their population are immi-

grants, when actually only 13 percent are.

The Japanese think it’s 10 percent, when it’s really only 2 percent. And the Poles recently elected a right-wing nationalist government in large part because they fear being overrun: they think 14 percent of the population are immigrants, when it’s really less than half of one percent.

Or take the number of Muslims living in countries that are historically non-Muslim. The highest proportion of the population is in France, where 8 percent are Muslims – but the average guess of the French Gwynne people polled was 31 percent (and Fox News seems Dyer to believe it’s nearly half ).

Only one percent of Americans are Muslim, but Americans believe it is 15 percent. In Canada it’s 2 percent, but Canadians think it’s 20 percent.

These huge over-estimates are probably driven in part by the fear of Islamist terrorism, which in turn is driven by the media’s fascination with the subject. It’s quite striking, for example, that while Americans guess three times too high when asked about the proportion of immigrants in the country, they guess fifteen times too high when asked specifically about Muslims.

One could go on and on about how wrong people get things. Indians (urban, educated Indians who take part in internet polls) think that one-third of the country’s population is non-religious. In fact, less than one percent is.

Saudi Arabians think that 28 percent of the population are overweight or obese,

when actually 71 percent are (the highest proportion of all 35 countries polled). But the more interesting question is: how much do these misperceptions affect politics and policy?

Not much, probably, when we’re talking about religion or obesity or the share of the population that is over 65 years old (which was over-estimated in every country polled). But it’s pretty clear that a huge popular over-estimate of the number of immigrants in Great Britain contributed to the “Leave” victory in last June’s referendum on British membership of the European Union.

The same phenomenon has played a big part in the rise of Donald Trump in the United States. When he talks about building a wall to stop hordes of Mexican rapists pouring across the southern border of the US, or promises to ban all Muslim immigration to the country, the media-fed misconceptions of Americans about immigrant and particularly Muslim numbers make his lies easier to believe.

There is a chicken-and-egg question here, of course. Are the media just pandering to existing popular fears, or are they actually creating them? The unsatisfactory but inevitable answer is: a bit of both.

In the century and a half when there have been free mass media (and now social media as well), nobody has come up with a solution for this problem. “Free” includes free to make mistakes, and free to distort facts and tell outright lies.

Bridge Club gives back: ‘The shirt off his back’ Submit ted

The Rocky Mountain Bridge Club from beautiful Cranbrook, B.C., really enjoys their Bridge, and loves to get together for a charity supporting Bridge Party.

This summer, we got together for a delicious ham and turkey dinner with the members supplying the snacks, salads and desserts.

Directors Judy and Pete Siegenthaler kindly donated their time and expertise and kept the party running smoothly. We are a small group, so the party was held in a private home.

We were thrilled to have nine tables filled, and we raised $2,205. Our members are a generous group — one of them having the reputation of donating the shirt off his back. One of the gals who was making aprons out of men’s shirts commented on the fella’s shirt and how it would make a nice apron.

The man started to take his shirt off, and would have done so if not stopped by his wife, who insisted on washing it first. The shirt was turned into an apron the following week, sold to another member, and the money raised was added to the charity donations. Mind you, that man now feels safer if he

The Rocky Mountain Bridge Club: Spot the Apron! just arrives in a T-shirt.

What prompted the generosity of our members is the mission of Dr. Bob Cutler of Cranbrook, who has travelled to Haiti 18 times in the last 15 years. He has given more than “the shirt of his back.” Caring for those in need in the most impoverished n ation in the Western Hemisphere has b een his

focus, and he has truly exemplified love in action. Under the umbrella of Hungry for Life, Dr. Cutler and his group of volunteers have successfully established Zanmitay Health Centre, with a fulltime doctor, two nurses and a group of medical volunteers. They have saved the lives of so many people who never before have had access

to medical care, and have alleviated the suffering of so many others with their free testing and free medication.

A portable ultrasound and training has been provided, baby packs have been handed out, emergency food provided, and goats purchased for the goat farm.

One hundred per cent of money donated goes to help

looking after you from the inside out.

Cranbrook-Kimberley baseball is back

Fraser Armstrong

Baseball in Kimberley has had a long if not sporadic history. In recent years, however, it has enjoyed a resurgence, particularly at the minor league level.

Kimberley Minor Baseball now boasts more registrants then hockey or soccer. Many of the players here graduated to the Pioneer Baseball League’s Cranbrook Bandits and have enjoyed amazing success at that level.

In the past three seasons the Cranbrook Bandits have collected one runner up and one Montana State B Cham-

pionship. There have been at least half a dozen Kimberley players on each of these teams, which speaks well of the kind of baseball program that has existed and continues to thrive here.

About seven years ago, a men’s team, the Kimberley Vespa Hornets, sprung up and played in a five-team league for about four years.

There were three teams from Cranbrook, one from Sparwood, and Kimberley. Most of the players were 30-plus, and without the influx of young players the league eventually folded, until now.

Roger Tierney, one of Kimberley’s biggest baseball advocates, has taken it upon himself to organize a new men’s baseball team, the Kimberley A’s, a team composed primarily of veteran Cranbrook Bandits players from Kimberley, most of who are in their twenties.

“I just think the time is right to encourage the many young guys that have come out of the Bandits organization in both Cranbrook and Kimberley to come together to play a high level of competitive baseball on an annual basis and thanks to the spon-

sorship of the Sullivan Pub we are going to be able to bring Senior Men’s Baseball back to Coronation Ballpark during August and hopefully the future,” said Tierney.

The Cranbrook Sox Baseball Team were encouraged

by Tierney to also draw on the ex-Bandits in their community to form a new squad. They played their first games, a double header, on Sunday, July 24, in Cranbrook. In the first game the Kimberley A’s defeated the Cranbrook Sox 11-2 and in the second game the Sox came out on top 3-2 in a closely contested match

that came down to the last pitch with the bases loaded.

The two teams enjoyed the day so much they decided to play four more games during the month of August.

The next game is in Kimberley at Coronation Baseball Park on Tuesday, August 9, at 6:30.

“Admission Free to all minor ball players that bring their parents” and also “Free to all Kimberley and Cranbrook residents that want to support their teams,” said Tierney.

It’s an excellent brand of baseball as all players are ex-

perienced, have been well coached, and have played at a high level.

The games should begin at 6:30 pm and you are invited to come spectate and support your team.

There’s nothing like a game of baseball on a warm summer evening and your support will give the young players coming out of the minor leagues in both communities the encouragement they need to form a senior league and play baseball in the future.

Hope to see you out on Tuesday evening, August 9.

took nearly two decades with hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent lives being lost, but Michael Jordan finally abandoned his old adage, when confronted with addressing social change, of “Republicans buy sneakers too,” and stated, “I can no longer stay silent.”

Bravo, Mr. Jordan.

People have been looking for this type of sentiment from what could be the greatest athlete of all time for a while now.

Fortunately, during a time of racial division with a candidate run-

ning for president actively pushing to further divide the country, Jordan is not alone.

Two weeks ago, Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwayne Wade all took to the stage at the ESPYs — the sports version of the Oscars — and urged their fellow athletes to become active on social issues like the Black Lives Matter movement that has caught worldwide attention after several black Americans unjustly lost their lives at the hands of law enforcement.

“Tonight, we’re honouring Muhammad Ali, the GOAT,” James said

on stage. “But to do his legacy any justice, let’s use this moment as a call to action to all professional athletes to educate ourselves, explore these issues, speak up, use our influence and renounce all violence and, most importantly, go back to our communities, invest our time, our resources, help rebuild them, help strengthen them, help change them. We all have to do better.”

If you’re in tune with sports, you’ll notice that all of these athletes mentioned are basketball players in the NBA. Historically, this has always held true. It was

the Los Angeles Clippers of the NBA who took a stand and ousted a racist owner from their franchise. It was the NBA who moved the 2017 All-Star Game away from Charlotte, North Carolina due to the state’s controversial law known as HB2, which has been widely criticized as discriminatory against the LGBT community.

Where was the MLB, NHL or NFL — North America’s other biggest sporting leagues — on issues like this?

Sure, you can make the argument that because there are statistically more black ath-

letes in the NBA, it would make sense that they are the ones who stand for change. But where are the other leagues on other social issues such as domestic violence, mental health and, of course, the racially divisive Donald Trump? No matter the issue, they remain silent.

This also ignores the fact that this racial divide only exists because it’s white society that isn’t giving proper attention to the fact that black lives don’t currently matter in U.S. and North America at large.

More than just black athletes, white athletes

have a role in creating equality within society even if they aren’t directly affected. Can you imagine the weight of a statement similar to James’s made by a white athlete like Sidney Crosby, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning? Surely whites from across the continent would have to listen then.

This argument, however, sits on the underlying notion that athletes should be the ones to say something at all, which they should. The thing about professional athletes is that they’re being paid millions of dollars while being put on a pedestal that only few can relate to

throughout the world.

Although that fame and fortune comes out in the news in negative ways at times, it doesn’t have to.

Athletes can use that platform dovetailed with the weight their voice carries across society to create change.

What writers, blue-collar workers and everyday citizens say rarely matters in the grand scheme of things. What athletes say can break across social media timelines and news headlines in efforts of defeating the status quo.

Athletes have a moral opportunity to improve our social problems.

Whether or not they will is another story.

XXXI Olympiad

Canadian Olympic team in ‘beast mode’ Canadian Press

RIO DE JANEIRO - It was a dramatic start for Canada at the Rio Summer Games on Wednesday.

Janine scored the quickest goal in Olympic soccer history as the Canadian women’s soccer team earned a dramatic 2-0 win over Australia in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Beckie opened the scoring just 20 seconds into the match as Canada secured the victory despite playing short-handed for 71 minutes after Shelina Zadorsky received a red card.

The women’s preliminary soccer schedule began two days before the Games are scheduled to officially open.

After plenty of anxious moments for the Canadians, veteran captain Christine Sinclair cemented the win in the 80th minute. Canada resumes tournament action Saturday against Zimbabwe but won’t have Zadorsky, who’ll serve a

suspension.

Williams stopped a Beckie penalty in the 73rd minute after what was deemed an Australia handball in the box.

Then Alleway cleared a Fleming shot off the goalline after it squibbed through Williams’ legs.

But Sinclair earned the insurance goal for Canada, beating Williams to a long ball from Fleming and then knocking it into an empty net. She celebrated with verve, clenching her fists.

The Olympic flame is now in Rio, ready for the lighting of the cauldron Friday. The torch relay, which began with a ceremonial lighting in Ancient Olympia, Greece in April, hitched a ride on a tour boat to reach the first city in South America to host the Olympics.

The Canadian Olympic Committee also held its traditional kickoff news conference Wednesday. The overriding

theme was “Canada is ready” after its athletes registered 34 top-five world championship performances in the past year after a strong showing at last summer’s Pan American Games in Toronto.

The international results, says Canadian chef de mission Curt Harnett, show Canada is on pace to reach its goal of a top-12 finish in the final medal standings.

“Our athletes’ performances on the international stage have been incredible, and have kept our athletes on track with this goal,” said Harnett, a three-time Olympic cycling medallist. “It has been such an honour to see them in beast mode over the last few months on the road to Rio.” Harnett believes Canada’s 314-member team will win in the range of 19-plus medals, which would be one more than the Canadians brought home four years ago from

London. Topping 20 medals would be a significant accomplishment for the Canadian squad - the last time that happened was 1996 (22 medals).

The Canadian medal run is expected to be anchored by a track and field team that made a historic eight marches to the podium at last summer’s world championships.

Swimmer Ryan Cochrane, in the 400-metre freestyle, and Jennifer Abel and Pamela Ware, in the three-metre synchro event, look to kick off the march Saturday. The women’s rugby sevens team begins its quest for a medal Saturday when the sport makes its Olympic debut.

Meantime, all of Russia’s weightlifters and 17 of its rowers will miss the Rio Games after the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected their appeals against doping-related suspensions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pressure builds on the homefront. Someone close to you could become manipulative, as he or she is determined to get what he or she wants. You will need to set boundaries for both of your sakes. Tonight: Change the location of the party to your pad as early as you can.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Speak your mind, and don’t be afraid to investigate a psychic or intuitive hunch. Work with it, and try it out to see how valid your instincts are. Reach out to a dear friend or relative whom you often think about. Tonight: Go along with the moment and see what develops.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can be possessive at times, but resist showing that side of your personality right now. You will want to approach a tantalizing new person authentically.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel an extraordinary amount of pressure to act a certain way around a higher-up or perhaps a special client. You will know how this person feels through his or her nonverbal feedback. Do not allow an upset to become more than it is.

Tonight: Out and about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Make a point of reaching out to someone at a distance with whom you might like to visit in the next few months, if not

sooner. At first, you might get some attitude, but that will pass quickly. Understand where this person is coming from. Tonight: Follow the music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be pressured by a loved one who likes being around you. The issue is that you might feel a need to have some space to yourself. Resist having a knee-jerk reaction, and try to find other ways of handling this situation. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others might feel as if you are out of control. You’ll display strong reactions to someone to whom you need to be polite.

There seems to be an understanding between the two of you, and you won’t need to apologize. However, it would be a wise move regardless. Tonight: Out late.

The B.C. government has eased restrictions on ‘agri-tourism’ events such as weddings and festivals on properties with farm tax status.

Brides, bands allowed back on farmland

Garfield

By Jim Davis

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Almost a year after B.C. farm weddings were banned due to a crackdown on agricultural land use rules, the B.C. government has clarified what commercial activities are allowed on farmland.

Farmers can host up to 10 commercial weddings, concerts or non-agricultural events per year without a permit from the Agricultural Land Commission.

Farmers can take payment to host a wedding or other event as long as no more than 150 guests attend and a list of conditions are met, according to regulations that took effect Tuesday.

To qualify, event hosts must provide all parking on the farm rather than along roads, with no permanent parking lots or structures, and the event must end in less than 24 hours. For more than 10 events a year or exceeding 150 guests, properties with farm tax status must apply to the ALC for a permit.

The new regulation also clarifies ALC policies to allow, with no permit, farm tours and demonstrations, hayrides, corn mazes, pumpkin patch tours, harvest and Christmas fairs and special occasion events to promote farm products.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said the regulation requiring farms to generate at least 50 per cent of its revenue from farm products is also scrapped, after consultation in the past year suggested the new rules instead.

The crackdown on farm weddings came last fall, when the ALC issued stop-work orders to B.C. farms including the Fraser Valley, Kelowna and Vancouver Island.

The restriction came after the province expanded farm uses to allow breweries and distilleries to operate on protected farmland with the same rules used to permit wineries. The rules allowed for processing of farm crops into products such as juice or jam for commercial sale.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My heart hurts so much. Last January, my nephew was diagnosed with leukemia. He is 3 years old. He is only a little boy. He is so strong, and he tries to be a happy little guy. My sister is always talking about my nephew and how his appointments go, and that is fine; I want to hear about them and to know what the next steps are. But here is my problem. I also have a beautiful niece. She is 9 years old. I know my sister loves her very much, but it seems as if she gets put on the back burner when it comes to her brother. My question is: How can I bring this up to my sister without starting a fight?

-- Auntie of Two Dear Auntie: I’m so sorry about your little nephew. It’s understandable that your sister is fully focused on getting him well and hasn’t considered how it may be affecting her daughter. When it comes to matters of life and death, people are prone to getting tunnel vision.

Rather than confront your sister about this issue right now -- which might add guilt to the emotional burden she’s already carrying -- take actions on your own to see that your niece feels loved. A family isn’t just nuclear, after all. If your sister sees you showering her daughter with love, she will appreciate it, and it may gently nudge her to consider whether she is spending enough time with her, too. Either way, your niece will be grateful for the bonding time with her awesome aunt.

Dear Annie: My friend and I were talking about people who threaten suicide if their partner leaves them. I thought this was just an immature and overly dramatic response to a breakup and not something the person making the threat had any intention of going through with. However, my friend revealed to me that this actually happened to a friend of hers. Her friend was seeing an older man who had another girlfriend at the time. This girlfriend threatened to kill herself if he left her. And then she did.

So I guess my question is: What should you do when your partner threatens suicide if you leave? -- Steph in San Diego Dear Steph: When a partner or anyone threatens suicide, you must take it seriously.

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255. The people there will help you assess the situation and determine what actions you can take and the resources available in your state.

I hope that man knows that what happened to his girlfriend was not his fault. If someone is threatening suicide if a partner leaves, there are underlying mental health problems that need professional treatment.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Revs My Engine,” who wrote to you regarding the neighbor who takes all the parking in an area that could accommodate two cars.

If there is actually enough space for two cars, your correspondent has the option of contacting his city’s responsible department (could be planning or traffic or under some other name) and request painted striping to delineate the parking spots. Problem solved, and nobody’s the “bad guy.”

The governing agency has a responsibility to maximize the use of community resources, and street parking fits in that category.

However, there are recognized standards for the size of an on-street parking space, and what looks like enough space for two cars may not officially be. Be careful what you wish for. -- Ex-Mayor of a Very Small Town Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Elizabeth Ford Telke 1966 – 2016 Elizabeth died peacefully in her sleep in Lethbridge on July 31, 2016, a few months short of her 50th birthday, leaving behind family and friends who are beyond sad at the hole left in their lives.

Elizabeth grew up in Cranbrook, attending Amy Woodland Elementary, Parkland Jr. Secondary and Mount Baker Sr. Secondary, and graduating in 1984. She moved to Lethbridge and obtained her B.Ed. at Lethbridge University. It was there that she met the man who became her husband, Dwight Telke. They were blessed with two sons, Nathan and Aaron, and her family truly was the most important thing in Elizabeth’s life.

Elizabeth was a gentle, compassionate person, possessed of quiet determination when necessary, and a quick and wicked sense of humour – we will all miss her peals of laughter. In addition to Dwight and her sons and beloved dog Juneau, she leaves her dad, Peter Ford, of Cranbrook, and siblings Kathryn (Garth), Simon (Deanna) and Martin, along with nieces, nephews and a great-niece and greatnephew. Elizabeth was predeceased by her mother, Lynn Ford, in 2012.

The funeral will take place in Lethbridge on August 5, 2016 at Martin Bros. Funeral Home. No flowers by request, but donations in Elizabeth’s name to the Canadian Humane Society or Epilepsy Canada would be appreciated.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Sheridan (Sherry) Ann Semenzin wife, mother, and grandmother at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital after a brave battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her family.

On this day Heaven gained a new Angel. Sherry meant many things to so many people and her smile will be missed. She was loved by all who knew her and she was one of those people who come along once in a lifetime and brighten the day regardless of the circumstances.

Sherry is survived by her husband of 49 years Eugene (Gene) Kenneth Semenzin, her daughter, Daneen Semenzin (Alf), her son Michael Semenzin (Jennifer) and her grandchildren, Kole, Payton, Avery, Quinn and Beckett. In addition, she is survived by siblings Lourene Cork (Gary), Wendy Fleming, Frank Moody (Nola), John Moody (Jane), as well as her in-laws Rick Semenzin (Cheryl), Wilma Semenzin and Garry Semenzin (Audrey).

We would like to thank all the doctors and nurses over the years who helped her succeed in her many previous health battles. We would especially like to thank Dr. Scheibenstock who was able to help grant Sherry’s wish of going home one last time.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Sherry, September 24 at 1:00 pm at the Kimberley Convention Center, 290 North Star Blvd. Kimberley B.C. In lieu of flowers, the family would encourage people to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or any charity of their choosing.
