Stetski looks forward to fall session in Ottawa Tre vor Cr aw l e y

Members of Parliament across Canada have trudged back to Ottawa as the fall session of Parliament is set to begin.

Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski is one of them and he’s expecting there to be plenty of issues to address.

Stetski’s party — the federal NDP — have listed four priorities in a press release issued last week, which include defending public health care from privatization and cuts, the envi-

ronment and more action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, electoral reform and promoting human rights and peace.

The federal Liberal Party, with a governing majority, will have the luxury of setting the legislative agenda, however, the Conservatives and the NDP will be jockeying for position to hold the Liberals to account on their election promises while pushing their own party priorities.

Vandalism reported in Community Forest For the Townsman

Sometime late Saturday night or early Sunday morning the North Gate into the Community Forest was vandalized and the lock pin and chain hacksawed off, with padlock still attached.

A press release from the Cranbrook Community Forest Society said the gate was found open when security checked the road access early Sunday morning.

This gate is locked at night for safety purposes. Unauthorized access through this gate has been an ongoing issue for many years and extra patrols are now being scheduled, along with an increased security presence in the area.

Fixing the reputation of our brother the bat Bats and rabies: Information to know on World Rabies Day, Sept. 28, 2016

For the Townsman

Bats have developed a poor reputation as being the main trans-

mitters of rabies in BC. This is one of the main reasons that people fear them.

What you may not know is that having an occupied bat house in your yard poses very low

risk to human health, and statistically is safer than owning a dog.

Bats are an integral

part of a healthy environment, providing natural insect control and an opportunity to learn

can help remove fear of bats and promote bat conservation.

In populations of wild bats in western Canada, less than one per cent of bats test positive for rabies. Also, there are two forms of rabies — ‘dumb’ and ‘aggressive’. The ‘dumb’ form is where the animal crawls into a corner and dies, and this is the most common form in bats.

Contracting rabies from a bat is extremely rare, but rabies is a serious illness that may be fatal if not treated in time. Since 1970, five people have died from rabies in Canada; four of these deaths followed exposure to bats.

Bats should not be feared, but as with any wild animal, caution should be taken. Simple steps will reduce any chance of exposure to disease: • Never handle bats with your bare hands, • Beware of bats that act strangely, such as flying during the day, • If you are bitten or scratched by a bat, seek medical attention immediately from the public health department or your doctor, • Vaccinate household pets.

Rockies Rowers rock the regatta What’s Up? C

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

ranbrook-based Rockies Rowing Club rowers attended the Head of the Pend Oreille regatta recently and came home with bling.

The one day regatta was held on the Priest River in Priest River, Idaho, on a beautiful sunny day. The regatta organisers moved the races from the Pend Oreille River to the Priest River as the water was too rough on the larger river.

The rowing course on the Priest River was more challenging with bends and bridges and offered a great view of racing for spectators.

A head race is rowed in flights and there were five flights that day. A boat starts rowing and when they pass the start line they are on the clock. One minute later the next boat starts and a minute later the next boat starts. The boats are racing against each other and against time. A boat that starts later is permitted to pass the boat ahead of them if they are fast enough and the conditions permit.

The first flight included Rockies Rowing Junior Women’s double (two rowers, two oars each) of Katie Clark and Kristen Wilson. They rowed the course in eight minutes, 10 seconds. The second flight included our Men’s double of James Ebsworth and Jared Adams and our Women’s Quad (four rowers, two oars each) comprised of Beth Anderson, Emily Sartorel, Sally Ruoss (first rowing race) and Roberta Rodgers (in the quad our youngest rower is 13 and oldest 61). The double finished in a time of 8:16 which was better than the other men’s double in the flight and the quad finished in a time of 8:24.

These boats although in the same flight are in different boat categories for awards.

Most notable was the opportunity for our Junior rowers Katie, Kristen, Emily, Sally and Jared to learn how to sweep row (one rower, one longer oar) in an 8+ (same type of boat Ben Rutledge rowed in at the 2008 Olympics and won a Gold medal with his crew).

Our rowers have been learning to scull (moving the boat with two smaller oars, one in each hand) so they jumped at this chance to expand their knowledge and try sweep rowing. On Friday evening they were taken out in the 8+ by a coxswain (steers the boats and gives commands) and a couple of other rowers who knew how to sweep row. The boat went out twice so that all five rowers had a chance to experience the boat and know how to grip the oar and pull it through the water and what it was like to row with seven other people in the boat.

Come Saturday in the fifth flight, the “International Crew” with rowers from the United States, Canada and Great Britain were on the water heading up to the start of the race. The rowers from bow were Sally Ruoss, Emily Sartorel, Jared Adams, Kristen Wilson, Nisa Papineau (Coeur d’Alene Rowing), Katie Clark, Quinn Barnwell (Priest River Rowing) and James Ebsworth in stroke. The coxswain was Parry Ragland formerly of Michigan Tech.

Parry led the crew to the start and encouraged them all the way down the course including passing another 8+ during the race. The parents of our rowers were on the bridge over the river cheering on the boat as it rounded the bend and passed the other 8+.

The crew looked impressive especially if you know that this was their first ever race in an 8+. The 8+ finished the race in 7:03 (best time of the regatta) and the next boat finished in 8:20 and the final boat in 9:44.

The “international crew” in the 8+ on the Priest River.

All in all it was a successful weekend to top off a superb season on the water. Club members were out practising regularly, coaches offered learn to row lessons and competitors were attending regattas.

Vernon was the debut for some of our rowers. At this regatta our coach Kurt Mohr partnered with a rower from another club to post the second fastest time on the three km course. In Calgary, as noted previously, our games rowers and other rowers came away with some good race experience but no medals. Nelson was a different story.

All five rowers who attended Nelson came home with either first place medals or second place ribbons. The crew of Katie and Kristen won their doubles race at the Nelson regatta as well. Their record this year was a win win.

Thanks to parents and volunteer coaches for their support of the row-

SUBMITTED

ers and thanks to the rowers for their enthusiasm and dedication to this unique sport. A special thanks to Brian Passey who has kept the club afloat by keeping our boats in good repair and making a concerted effort to help raise funds so we could purchase a second hand quad scull and oars and for the possibility of building our own trailer as the results of the monies raised.

Rowing Canada has been a great support this year loaning us a trailer and three boats so we could increase our capacity. If anyone wants to learn to row in spring 2017 please send an email to rdmrodgers@gmail.com and offer a contact so we can let you know when we are on the water for lessons.

We are still looking for youth (age 13 or 14) who would like to learn to row and try out for the BC Summer Games 2018 Zone 1 Crew. We will be on Jimsmith Lake through October if you want to view this sport in real time.

Cranbrook RCMP announces new position to focus on mental health FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Cranbrook RCMP is announcing a new position that focuses on an ever increasing community issue of Mental Health.

Constable Erin Stevenson has been named to the position and slated to start her new role in early October, 2016.

Detachment Commander Staff Sergeant Hector Lee said Cranbrook RCMP saw a large

increase in calls for service that are related to Mental Health when compared to previous years.

“Mental Health Illnesses have really come to the forefront not just on a policing front but a community front,” Lee said in a press release.

“The RCMP has recognized that society in general has struggled to meet the needs of those with a mental illness and

the criminal justice system is not always the best route to take.

“Having an officer dedicated and proactive to this issue will reduce the number of calls for service so that our other officers can remain proactive in protecting Cranbrook and surrounding areas.

“City officials have been consulted and have been very supportive in developing this

Stetski heads back to fall session CONTINUED from page 1 Stetski will be splitting his time between the Kootenay-Columbia riding and the House of Commons over the next nine months as the fall session gets into swing.

Upcoming legislation will include a bill from the Liberal government on the legalization of marijuana.

“We’re going to have to wait and see how that rolls out,” Stetski said, “but I expect that we’ll be asking constituents for their input on legal-

izing marijuana and the many, many dimensions that initiative raises in terms of questions.”

The government will be receiving feedback from an electoral reform committee that has been touring the country to gather input from public forums on ditching first-past-the-post and moving to a form of proportional representation.

Though the committee never came to the Kootenay-Columbia

riding, Stetski toured through communities in August to hear from local constituents about their thoughts and feelings on proportional representation.

He received 612 submissions as a result of that tour, which will be summarized and presented to Nathan Cullen, the NDP MP representative on the electoral reform committee.

Stetski will be pushing a bill he introduced in June — Bill C-281 — to establish a National

Local Food Day that would be the Friday before Thanksgiving, which is Oct. 7 this year.

According to a survey from the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity, 93 per cent of Canadians don’t know where their food comes from, however, over 60 per cent of them want to know more about it, said Stetski.

The Kootenay-Columbia MP, who also serves as the opposition critic for national parks, is also hoping to address

Closer to home, Stetski is also planning to tour the riding to talk about small business.

The Kootenay-Columbia riding includes three provincial ridings — Kootenay-East, Columbia River-Revelstoke and Nelson-Creston — and Stetski is planning on holding a meeting in each of the provincial ridings within Kootenay Columbia to bring all three levels of government together with small business owners.

In between his Parliament Hill duties, he will also make sure to respond to constituent concerns and resolve any issues that are brought forward from the public.

“We provide service to any of our constituents who feel that the government is not providing them with the kind of service or information they need,” Stetski said.

“I would really encourage people to contact us with their concerns. We have access to phone numbers and people inside government that the general public do not have and we use every tool we can to try to resolve their issues and get help where they need it.”

Communities struggle with surge in tent cities Tom Fletcher Black Press

different camps around the community. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she frequently hears from residents concerned about property values affected by camping in parks, despite efforts to clean up needles, feces and garbage that litter public spaces.

Surrey Coun. Dave Woods said his city has camps springing up every night, and he expects it is only a matter of time before a large one is established as happened in Victoria, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge in recent years.

The Victoria camp set up on provincial land next to the downtown courthouse and it took 10 months, a court injunction and more than 100 hastily acquired transitional housing spaces to shut it down.

One of the lessons learned from Victoria was to act quickly before camps grow large, said Greg Steves, a senior official with the B.C. government.

Dominic Flanagan, executive director of B.C. Housing, said despite its struggles, the province is

Community leaders from around the province compared notes on dealing with homeless camps at the annual municipal convention Monday, as they await a federal strategy to improve access to low-cost housing.

While housing affordability for people receiving $375 a month housing allowance from provincial income assistance is a growing problem, people who are evicted for their behaviour or refuse to submit to shelter and supportive housing rules are the most difficult to deal with.

The province recently announced a $500 million fund to construct low-cost rental housing around the province. A forum at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria heard that mental health and addiction services also need to be expanded to offer people a way off the streets.

Chilliwack has identified 18

seen as a leader in its “housing first” approach to dealing with mentally ill and drug addicted people. And while the public objects to “low barrier” shelters, they are needed to begin helping people get off the streets, he said.

Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said B.C. Housing’s plan to buy a motel to convert to transitional housing was a good response to that community’s tent camp. But strong public opposition and that of both local MLAs resulted in it being cancelled, and construction of a purpose-built facility has delayed efforts to move people from shelters.

Lawyer James Yardley said efforts to shut down Abbotsford’s camp were complicated by a lack of clarity about how homelessness and shelter beds are defined by the courts. Abbotsford camp representatives continued to advocate for it after they were housed, and some campers refused any indoor accommodation.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION: PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN The City of Cranbrook is proposing to amend the City’s Official Community Plan.

On September 12, 2016, City Council gave first reading to “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3872, 2016”.

If adopted, the proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will replace Table 5.4 in Section 23, I-3 Wildstone Neighbourhood Plan, with a revised table that reflects dwelling unit redistribution consistent with the proposed development for Lot 9.

Specifically, the minor text amendment will adjust the dwelling unit distribution to be constructed on Lot 9 from 60 single family, 40 duplex and 25 townhomes to 40 single family, 48 duplex and 37 townhomes.

The total maximum number of dwelling units remains the same at 125.

A copy of the proposed “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3872, 2016” is available at City Hall for public information.

If you require more information or wish to comment on the proposed OCP amendment, please contact Rob Veg, Senior Planner at (250) 489-0241.

How not to run your city

unicipal politicians from all over B.C. are in Victoria this week for their annual convention, meeting with provincial cabinet ministers and debating resolutions.

Taxpayers would be well advised to question their mayors, councillors and regional district directors when they get home. Not just about hotel bills or what they accomplished, but whether they have picked up any ideas from Victoria on how local government should be run.

In 30-odd years of watching local governments, I have never seen a council blow money and chase ridiculous ideas the way Victoria does.

For example, the city is now considering hiring an “artist in residence.” Mayor Lisa Helps says this will build in beauty to projects without hiring consultants, and add value to taxpayer-funded facilities.

We’ve seen this artistic value notion at work already. The city’s new drawbridge connecting Vic West and Esquimalt to downtown is nothing if not artistic, with graceful sculptural elements. At least that’s how it appeared in drawings when the project was begun in 2009.

Seven years later, the construction site looks all but abandoned, costs having soared above $100 million. We’re assured by the latest consultant, municipal maestro Jonathan Huggett, that things are back on track and the artistic custom steel

components being manufactured in China are free of defects this time. We’ll see.

Helps wasted no time establishing her style when she surprised herself by being elected in 2014. She spent $50,000 on a management consultant, explaining that this was the maximum she could spend without council approval.

Speaking of art, Victoria BC Views now has a musical staircase in one of the city-owned Tom downtown parkades. For Fletcher only $10,000, people can now play music by going up and down stairs.

That’s right, the city is in the parking business. Oddly, these dank concrete structures with unionized city staff have struggled, so council considered sculptures and paintings before buying a stairway to Heaven.

Residents of Greater Victoria and its dozen boutique suburbs are used to screwed-up projects. From dysfunctional police who can’t communicate to a stalled sewage system that will cause tax bills to skyrocket if it is ever built, incompetence is expected here.

Two Victoria councillors specialize in silly stunts that divert public attention from their performance. Coun. Ben Isitt and his sidekick Coun. Jeremy Loveday recently talked their colleagues into declaring a ban on genetically modified foods in Victoria.

Letters to the Editor

There is no sign yet of local grocery stores throwing out hundreds of products containing canola oil and other agricultural staples. Apparently, city hall can’t override federal health regulations.

Ben and Jerry, as they have become known, are radical left-wing activists, often seen organizing protests demanding this or that from the province and Ottawa.

Loveday wants Victoria to declare itself a “sanctuary city.” That’s where local police are instructed not to ask people about their citizenship status, in order to circumvent federal immigration law.

In this age of terrorism, let that sink in for a bit. It makes Loveday’s initiative to allow skateboarders to mingle with downtown traffic seem almost sensible.

Ben and Jerry’s campaigns were largely financed by the Canadian Union of Public Employees. In June, they led Victoria council to exit the regional labour relations group that bargains with CUPE and other unions.

Helps dismissed concerns by other area councils that CUPE will now target Victoria and “whipsaw” other municipalities to match its settlements, in the grand B.C. labour tradition.

Helps said that’s old-fashioned thinking. And besides, Victoria city hall staff duplicate much of the regional labour function. A consultant said so.

Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Community Alliance for Literacy

October is Reach a Reader Month B

lack Press, local credit unions, community leaders and volunteers across the Columbia Basin and Boundary are joining the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) for Reach a Reader Month this October. The campaign will raise funds for local, community-based literacy programs and increase awareness of the importance of literacy.

“We are very excited about the Reach a Reader campaign this year,” says Ali Wassing, CBAL’s executive director. “This is our 6th year.

We have more community partners than ever, and we are adding a great new component — Loonies for Literacy piggy banks will be available in credit unions, businesses and at our community-based literacy programs throughout the month.”

More than 500,000 British Columbians have challenges with literacy. Over one-quarter of those currently employed in BC don’t have the minimum literacy and essential skills they need to successfully participate in today’s knowledge-based society.1 Those skills go far beyond being able to read and write; they include using technology, doing calculations, communicating verbally and in writing, and problem-solving.

“Literacy is the key to success in our society – living a healthier life, getting a better job, and being able to support our children’s learning,” adds Wassing. “We know there is a need.

CBAL offers free literacy programs and services for people of all ages in 77 communities across our region, from Books for Babies to iPad

classes for seniors. In 2015-16, 7360 people attended those programs.”

On October 5 when you purchase the CranbrookTownsman, proceeds from sales will go to the Reach a Reader campaign. On October 5, CBAL is also being supported by a portion of proceeds from coffee sales at Max’s Place and The Heidout’s lunch special. In addition, the Kootenay Ice will be hitting the elementary schools with a special edition of the Townsman in hand to read with the kids. Loonies for Literacy piggy banks will be available in communities.

East Kootenay Community Credit Union (EKC) will have piggy banks on site. In addition, the EKC has made a $1000 contribution to kick off the campaign.

All funds raised will go to the community to sup-

port free literacy programs.

To find out more about literacy in Cranbrook contact Alison Facey at cranbrookcoordinator@cbal.org or go to cbal.org.

On October 5, buy the Kimberley Bulletin and proceeds from sales will go to support the Reach a Reader campaign. Loonies for Literacy piggy banks will also be available in communities throughout October. In Kimberley, Kootenay Savings Credit Union will have piggy banks to collect donations. All funds will go to the community to support free literacy programs.

Zborosky taking game to the next level Kootenay Ice star using Cranbrook spotlight to further his hockey career BRAD MCLEOD

Zak Zborosky found himself in a strange place this off-season — the fourth line. While the rest of the Kootenay Ice were wrapping up their preseason, Zborosky gave up his first line spot to go to Traverse City, Michigan and play with the New York Rangers in an annual prospects tournament.

As an unsigned, undrafted free agent invitee, Zborosky — the top scorer for the Ice last season — was overshadowed by higher profile names including college standout Jimmy Vesey of Harvard and Russian prospect Pavel Buchnevich, who played last season in the KHL. It was an eye-opening experience for Zborosky, who is entering his final year of WHL eligibility, and desperately needs to prove that he has what it takes to make it to the next level.

“It [was] a really good learning experience to

go down there and see how everything works,” Zborosky said about the Traverse City tournament. “The pace of play in the games is so much faster and everyone is a lot bigger.”

He said however that his biggest takeaway from the whole experience, was how much effort played into being a professional hockey player.

“Everyone is around the same skill level [it’s] just that some guys want it more,” he explained.

“The compete is just so intense.”

In Traverse City, Zborosky also got an opportunity to play with a number of other WHL players. Ty Ronning (VAN), Ryan Gropp (SEA), Sergey Zborovskiy (REG), Reid Duke (BDN) and Colton Bobyk (RD), all lined up alongside him with the blueshirts.

“It was actually kind of nice [playing with WHL rivals], you finally get to meet these guys

Zborosky flies down the ice during a game against Lethbridge last season. you’ve played against so many times,” he said.

“Everyone’s super friendly and great guys.”

As he enters this season, Zborosky has a lot of motivation to perform at a high level. Not only does he want to avenge last season and finish his final WHL campaign on a strong note, he now knows what areas of his game he has to improve to play professionally.

“For the most part [I

need to work on my] consistency and control the game a bit more this year, have the puck [on] my stick more,” he said.

“I [also] struggle sometimes with getting open for passes, so I’ve got to work on that [but] other than that [I have to just] play hard and hope for the best.”

Already in his first two games this season, Zborosky has shown his commitment to being

an offensive leader for this rebuilding Kootenay squad. He scored the team’s first goal of the year, in the opening period of their game in Calgary, and had several more golden chances the following night in Cranbrook.

Zborosky may have been a small fish amongst the Rangers, but here in Cranbrook, he’s more than welcome on the first line.

Volleyball season is in full swing at Mount Baker Secondary, and the Senior Girls team is expected to be a force to be reckoned with, according to athletic director Kaley Wasylowich.

“Realistically, our senior girl’s volleyball team is really strong,” Wasylowich told the Townsman last week. “Because we’re the biggest representative of the area, we go [to provincials] by default, but I think they’re going to fare very well, because they’re a very strong team.”

The team got their year started over the weekend with a tournament in Kamloops, where the Wild showed promise but failed to finish on top.

On Friday, September 23, the girls won all three of their matches by defeating Clearwater, George Elliott and Vanderhoof.

Voices Within is a culmination of some of the finest music written for the classical cello ensemble. From duets up to a small orchestra, Faragher captures the rich colour and tonal range of this fine instrument.

Recorded acoustically in studio, Faragher used several fine instruments from the BC interior to capture a wide array of vocal characteristics and emulate the sense of a live cello ensemble. His virtuosity shines through this truly unique project where he masterfully performs every part of each work seamlessly; playing off his own recorded parts intuitively and sensitively.

Cellist Jeff Faragher is an active performer throughout Western Canada. Based out of both Calgary and Nelson, he has been teaching and performing in the western provinces for over 15 years as a professional cellist.

Originally from Edmonton, Jeff spent several years in Montreal

Eleventh Annual

Jeff Faragher training at McGill. Since moving back to the west, Faragher has established himself as a truly innovative performer spanning several musical styles with ease.

In addition, he has been Music and Artistic Director of the Symphony of the Kootenays based out of Cranbrook for the past five years.

This concert will feature Jeff playing solo works for cello in addition to some of the pieces from the album. He will be demonstrating the process through which this CD came together and performing on various instruments and even with some electronic equipment to simulate the studio multi-track recording environment.

This performance promises to be a unique and thoroughly engaging experience for audiences of all ages. Limited space available. Email jefffaragher@gmail.com to reserve your seats.

Tickets are $15 at the door.

Horoscopes

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Confusion could trip you up, as you might not be aware that you are getting unclear messages.

You will pull back once you see what is going on. What you think someone said could be quite different from what he or she actually said. Tonight: Move slowly and ask questions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your mind seems to be coming up with idea after idea. Others appreciate your abilities and often put you on a pedestal.

Unfortunately, you could fall off today or in the near future.

Be more aware of what others think and feel. Tonight: Take a look at the big picture.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are more in touch with your needs than you realize.

Be more sensitive to others’ needs as well. Support friends in getting what they need. A matter involving your domestic life emerges. You might have difficulty making a decision.

Tonight: Anchor in.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might regret words you say on impulse. A friend could hold a grudge for a lengthy period of time. Be careful. Know when to back off and bypass an unnecessary problem. Listen to this person’s grievances; put yourself in his or her shoes. Tonight: Off to the gym, then decide.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could find yourself spending way too much, way too fast. In order to get everything under control, you probably will need to return some items. You even might decide to break the pattern altogether, as your risk-taking also could affect other areas of your life. Tonight: Out late.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might find a family member or domestic issue to be disruptive. You’ll want to think through a decision more carefully. Understand your limits, and be willing to honor a fast change. You could be quite serious and demanding at the moment. Tonight: Try to lighten the mood.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your efforts do count, although

Tundra

Garfield

Hagar the Horrible

you might see that others are easily discouraged. You could be disgruntled with everything that is occurring. Keep it light and easy when dealing with loved ones. In a few days, a lot is likely to change. Tonight: Get as much R and R as you can.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) There is a lot going on around you. Your finances seem to be stretched too thin, at least in your opinion. You’ll want to take a stronger stance regarding your long-term needs. Someone could surprise you by listening and supporting you in this endeavor. Tonight: Make it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone who can help you handle a personal matter. You could discover that you have a distorted vision when it comes to a discussion involving your domestic life. Honor what is happening behind the scenes.

Transform a situation quickly.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel a need to detach in order to discern what is happening. Take your time thinking through a problem. Could your

perspective be off? You will be able to adapt to a situation or grow with it, regardless of what happens. Tonight: Listen to some good music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You keep running into the same situation with an associate, partner or loved one. You experience a lot of complexity with your financial dealings with this person. You could be overtired and not willing to deal with an ornery friend. Tonight: Dinner for two.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be unusually vibrant and high-strung. You know what you want, but a partner seems to take control and make most of the decisions. You might be able to take the lead, but you’re more likely to make the choice of deferring. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Dear Annie

by Annie Lane

the demon within Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 12 years, and I absolutely love her and the kids. But at family events, she tends to get really drunk and mean. Usually, I end up taking the lumps of her aggression, but sometimes it’s someone else. I feel guilty when that happens, because I’m just happy that it isn’t me.

Her family has a lot of issues, as does mine, and when we get together for events, she gets loud, obnoxious and downright ugly to whichever poor soul rubs her the wrong way first. She wakes up with a hangover, apologizes when she has to and pretends as if it never happened.

One example: Last weekend, her sister was in town (she’s a complete mess, but it’s way too long of a story to explain), and my wife went to visit her at their parents’ house. I stayed home because of work. She and her sister got into a fight that turned physical.

She called me crying around midnight. I tried to talk her down, but it turned into her screaming at me over the phone.

My wife is the type who does not take kindly to suggestions, especially when she’s intoxicated. A simple “maybe it’s time to go to bed” will inevitably unleash a vicious monster that will scratch, tear and scream its way through anything that gets in its path.

How can I give her a “last call” when I see that something is about to happen? -- Concerned Husband Dear Concerned: That vicious monster you’re dealing with is alcoholism.

Your wife needs to stop drinking. You should try talking to her about that when she’s sober. But alcoholism is a disease that sustains itself through the mechanism of denial, and you should know that her path to recovery may be a long one. In truth, it may be never-ending.

Living with an alcoholic can leave you feeling desperate and frustrated to tears -- and also profoundly lonely because you feel as if you have no one to talk to about it. I encourage you to consider attending a local AlAnon Family Groups meeting. The meetings are free and anonymous, and they’re open to anyone who is bothered by a loved one’s drinking -- so even if you don’t consider your wife an alcoholic, they’re still for you.

My heart goes out to you, and I wish you all the best.

Dear Annie: I live in an apartment complex, and my upstairs neighbors recently had a baby. I swear that she is the loudest baby I’ve ever heard. I’m losing my mind from the lack of sleep. Why can’t they keep her content? And why would anyone with a newborn live in an apartment complex anyway? Should I talk to them? -- Newborn Insomniac Dear Newborn: Sounds as if somebody needed to cry it out -- and I don’t mean the baby upstairs. Your crankiness is understandable, but I’m not sure what exactly you plan on saying to the parents: “Excuse me.

Could you please ask your 3-month-old to try to keep it down? I’ve got a big presentation tomorrow. I’m sure she understands.”

The fact is that these new parents are very aware of how loud their baby is. They have front-row seats to that opera. No doubt they feel bad about keeping up their neighbors, but there’s not much they can do.

What you can do, however, is invest in some tools to block out as much sound as possible. Invest in high-quality noise-canceling headphones, a white-noise machine or both. You might even consider talking to your landlord about options for installing soundproofing material on your ceiling.

Above all, try to be as empathetic as possible. Remember, you were once a baby, too.

The family of Laura are saddened to announce her passing. We know she has been lifted to a place she believed in, the last of her generation to join the family members gone before. While there is sadness here, there will be a party in heaven.

For 94 years Laura was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was predeceased by her parents Basil and Mary Bulkot; husband Art Godderis (passed away in a tragic accident in 1969); all her sisters Kata Anderson, Annie Lancaster, Staffie Citra, and Mary Dunbar; her brothers-in-law; son-in-law Bill Shewchuk; and her nieces Barbie Lancaster and Angela Paulson (nĂŠe Anderson).

She is survived by her daughter Lynne Shewchuk; her son Rick Godderis (Joan); her grandsons Jonathan Shewchuk and Steven Shewchuk (great granddaughter Amanda); her granddaughters Amy Godderis and Rebecca Godderis (Rob); step-grandsons Jeff Boeda (Jennifer with great granddaughters Sophie and Penny), Tim Boeda, Brad Boeda (Eugenia with great grandsons Dax, Cale, and Reid), and many nieces and nephews.

Laura was a gentle, kind and caring soul. A much loved and involved community member as a teacher, in their family businesses The Van Horne Grocery and the Kootnee Motel/ Store/Trailer Court (where the Heritage Inn now exists), as an x-ray technician at the old Cranbrook Hospital, and as a clerk for 6 years at the Cranbrook Public Library. She was a faithful volunteer for St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League for 50+ years, a member of St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choir, and an active member of the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary for 33 years (20 of them in the Hospital Gift Shop). The Auxiliary honored her with a life membership.

We wish to thank the staff at Joseph Creek Village for their cheerful attention and caring assistance to Mom for the past 5 years. Thank you to Dr. Lenz for your caring for Mom for over 40 years and to all the hospital doctors and staff who helped with compassion through her recent health trials. And thank you to Ken for your inspiration.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health - MRI Campaign, c/o East Kootenay Regional Hospital, 13 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9.

Prayers for Laura will be held at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook on Friday, September 30, 2016 from 7:00 pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 9:00 pm and her funeral service on Saturday, October 1, 2016 at 10:00 am at Christ The Servant Catholic Church in Cranbrook.

Avalanche pushes skier over cliff near Lake Louise C anadian Press

JASPER, Alta. - A skier has died after a small avalanche pushed him over a cliff near Lake Louise, Alta.

Tim Haggarty with Parks Canada says the man in his

20s from Golden, B.C., died Sunday on Mount Victoria.

He says the man and his ski partner had climbed up the mountain on their skis, but turned back midway because of strong winds.

As they were skiing down, the pair became separated and a slab avalanche about 15 centimetres deep was triggered.

Haggarty says it’s believed the piece of snow pushed

one skier down the hill and over the cliff.

The surviving skier later found his friend but the man had no pulse and had suffered serious trauma.

“It wasn’t the avalanche

that did the damage to him.

It was certainly the fall,” Haggarty said, adding the drop was about 75 to 100 metres.

He said the wind hampered recovery efforts Sunday but a crew was able to

remove the victim’s body on Monday.

The man’s name has not been released, but Haggarty said he was a well-known backcountry skier in the area.
