Crash closes highway between Kimberley and Marysville SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
The highway between Marysville and Kimberley was closed for half a day on Wednesday, June 12, after a vehicle crashed into a utility
pole and broke it. According to an RCMP statement, at about 9 a.m. on Wednesday morning, a police officer came across the scene of the crash on Highway 95A, but there was no sign of the
driver. Witnesses told police that the driver of the vehicle had tried to pass several vehicles on a curve just south of Kimbrook. A vehicle approached in the opposing lane, so the driver
RCMP seek Skookumchuck accident witnesses TOWNSMAN STAFF
Police are seeking witnesses to a crash that occurred on Highway 93/95 near Skookumchuck on Sunday, June 9. Three people were seriously injured after a two-vehicle crash that occurred about 5:30 p.m. RCMP said it appeared a northbound vehicle with a
lone female occupant crossed the centre line and collided head on with a southbound vehicle with two occupants. Police are specifically looking for anyone who may have observed the driving behaviour of either vehicle prior to the crash. The northbound vehicle is a 2002 grey Ford Escape, with
an Alberta license plate. The driver of the Escape is a female driver. The southbound vehicle is a 2008 red Toyota Corolla with two female occupants. Police are also looking for persons who may have come in contact with the drivers of either vehicle in the hours preceding the crash.
tried to pull in but lost control. The vehicle went off the road to the right, where it clipped and broke a utility pole, then overturned. The driver got out and ran away from the scene of the crash, heading toward the bush near Forest Crown subdivision. After two hours of tracking the driver, an RCMP police dog found the 24-year-old man and he was arrested. He was charged with driving without due care and attention, no drivers’ license, and failure to remain at the scene of an accident. RCMP said there was a passenger in the vehicle, but neither occupant was injured. The highway was fully reopened about 3 p.m. after BC Hydro replaced the pole.

Group hopes for city’s support on preserving old brick building ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
Two Cranbrook residents with building and restoration experience told council that they have brought together a group keen on restoring the historic brick building behind city hall. Ken Haberman and Rob Amsing said that they would like council to allow them to submit the building for heritage funding. They estimated that it would cost only $30,000 to get the garage to a usable and structurally sound state. The estimate was significantly
lower than the sum that the city came up with, which was about $135,000. The reasons the two gave for the lower costs was that for the purpose of a heritage building, there is no need for things like plumbing, electricity and insulation, but rather a need to get the building to a preservable state. “We want to preserve that building, we think it is a historical building in Cranbrook,” Amsing said.

“We competed there for two days, eight hours each day,” Landon Harvey said. “I think it was very stressful for us.” That stress came as a result of competitive pressure. “Seeing all the other robots and how good they were compared to the provincials ... there was some really good competition down there and we were really happy we could go,” he said. The team ended up pulling off the bronze medal win, which he said was so close, it could have gone either way. The competition was to build a robot that could complete a specific action, which in this Courtesy Bill Walker case was retrieving a Robotixmeisters Landon Harvey, Derek Johnson and Edmond Yoo display the B.C. flag at the recent pallet and stacking it on national skills competition at B.C.

Under Pressure: Part FOUR
Cutting down on water leaking from our pipes This four-part feature series explains the problems with Cranbrook’s pipes. In today’s conclusion, we look at a brand-new method the city has come up with to decrease the amount of water leaking from our pipes.
S a lly Mac Don al d Townsman Staff
I
am on a tour of Cranbrook’s water system with Director of Public Works Joe McGowan. We started at Phillips Reservoir, where I learnt why Cranbrook’s water is high pressure, then visited pressure reducing stations where the city makes it safe to turn on our taps. We learnt that the high pressure means Cranbrook’s pipes are more prone to ruptures, but that pipes cost so much the city can’t afford to repair them all at once. Joe explained how utilities crews go about narrowing down the biggest problem areas in Cranbrook. Now the City of Cranbrook utilities crew has worked out where those problem areas are for leaks in the water system – and it’s right where they thought it would be, where the city makes the most repairs and the oldest part of town. But to replace all the pipes in that area would be prohibitively expensive. In fact, it would cost more than $8 million. Without significant federal and provincial government investment, the city must slowly budget a handful of repairs each year, which are done at the same time as roads are replaced above the pipes. In the meantime the city, along with four companies partnering with it, has come up with a cheap, simple and
ingenuous way to cut down on water leakage. From around 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., when not as many people are using water in their homes, the city is reducing water pressure in Cranbrook’s lowest elevation areas, in the valley bottom. “Most pipes blow at night,” Joe explains as we stand in a pressure reducing station near downtown Cranbrook, looking over some big blue pipes, and small gizmos perched on top of them. “If there is a weakness in the pipe and the circumstances are right, there is going to be a hole. We have to reduce the pressure so the water won’t find that weakness.” If everyone turns on the taps in their homes at the same time, water rushes down the pipes faster, which creates more friction in the pipe and the pressure drops on its own. At night, with fewer people turning on those taps, the pressure goes up on its own. Until recently, the city has kept pressure reduction fairly steady. As long as the pressure is within the normal range of 42 to 65 psi, the water was left alone. But now, to reduce the risk of breakage on pipes with lots of weak points, the city is dropping the pressure at night to reduce the amount of water going through the system.

Joe McGowan points out the technology that allows City of Cranbrook utilities crews to lower water pressure remotely to reduce leaks in our ageing pipes. “What we are doing is setting it up to be automatic so that at a particular time of the day we can change the
pressure,” says Joe. “It will reduce the wear and tear on the pipes.” It’s a cheap fix — all that
needs to be added is a $3,000 solenoid valve, an electronic controller that connects to the city’s remote
water monitoring software, SCADA. “By reducing the pressure at night, our pipes are under less stress,” says Joe. “The leaks that exist will be sending out less water.” The city started this new program overnight on Wednesday, May 29. Homes in the valley bottom in Cranbrook – north of Baker Park – will still see water pressure at all times above 42 psi, and the pressure will be more stable, rather than going up and down depending on season and time of day. Yet less water will be leaking out of the system, and there will be fewer breaks in the pipes. “With our incredible infrastructure deficit, this buys us time, and the cost is so minuscule that once people know how small scale it is, we expect it will become mainstream,” says Joe. Cranbrook’s situation, built on a hill with a reservoir at a high point and the community below, is not unique. Any town in this position can follow Cranbrook’s lead, Joe says. “Every community that is built on a hill has pressure reducing stations and valves, so they can do what we have done here. “We are trying to include up-to-date technology, but it’s simple stuff. We are not creating the wheel. We are taking simple concepts and applying them to existing facilities.”
BBBS launches new family mentoring program K a it y Brown Townsman Staff
The Big Brothers Big Sisters group of Cranbrook has volunteers for people to act as big siblings to kids who are struggling and who have suffered from loss. But now the group is bringing something new to the table — family mentoring. The Family Mentoring program is a pilot program with the goal of getting local families from both Kimberley and Cranbrook who would be mentors to the new families. “What we are looking at doing is creating a program that will match a resident
family with a newcomer to the country, someone who has lived in Canada for less than ten years,” said Dana Osiowy of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cranbrook. “What we are looking for is the chance to help and get families more involved in the community for someone who hasn’t lived in Canada for very long.” Big Brothers Big Sisters has done mentoring with families across the country but this is the first time that Cranbrook has introduced a program of this nature to the community. The plan is that the pilot program will run for six
months and then from there it will depend on the response from the community. “We have created the framework for the project, all the forms and that kind of stuff, and right now is when we are going to start our recruitment,” Osiowy said. “We are going to start with recruiting a family, which is just two or more people, it doesn’t mean you have to have kids or anything like that. It’s just two or more people who are interested in being mentors.” Osiowy said that the program is a great opportunity for not only the immigrant
families, but also those who are doing the mentoring. “It’s something cool where you can learn about a different culture and all of that kind of stuff but yet still be able to spend that time with your family.” The families would help the new members of the community by showing them what our communities have to offer such as service agencies, recreation opportunities, community groups and local festivals and events. “We will have training and we will have some group activities that can really help. Sometimes it can really
be isolating when you move to a rural community, maybe you don’t know how to get a driver’s licence or you don’t know what Sam Steele Days is. “This will be a great opportunity for newcomer of the country to learn about all the stuff. And for resident families they get to do it all again, you know? To really re-discover their community.” But family doesn’t mean the stereotypical and nuclear family of husband, wife and two kids. Osiowy wants both Kimberley and Cranbrook to know that it’s a minimum of two people.
“When you call us we would do a criminal record check, fill out some forms and give you some training,” said Osiowy. The training for the program includes all the information that a family would need to mentor another, from safety information ranging to what kind of activities and events to try. Anyone who would be interested in getting involved with the program should call the Big Brothers Big Sisters office in Cranbrook at 250-489-3111 or toll-free at 1-855-489-3111.

Cranbrook retiree treks to Everest base camp Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
A retired nurse has just returned home to Cranbrook after hiking to Mount Everest Base Camp at 17,500 feet. Maxine Adshead, 64, flew to Kathmandu in May to take part in a 13day trek through the Himalayas. Learning about and experiencing Nepalese culture was the highlight of the trip, Maxine told the Townsman. “It was an absolutely amazing experience. We had so many cultural opportunities,” Maxine said. “I can’t say enough about it. It was much more than I expected.” Arriving in Kathmandu on May 10, Maxine met up with friends she made two years ago when she hiked Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania with Nevada-based Tusker Trails. The group came from
all over the world to meet in Nepal before the trip. From Kathmandu, they boarded a plane to the world’s most dangerous airport, Lukla at 9,383 feet in elevation. Thankfully, the group’s scheduled fly-in and flyout days were clear. The trek began from there, and the group began the climb to Namche Bazar, famous for its marketplace. “When we went up to Namche Bazar, it just seemed to go on forever and ever and ever,” Maxine said. “It’s steep – it’s a lot steeper than you would expect. You look at the elevation changes and they don’t look like that much but you go down and then you go up and then you go down and then you go up.” After two days in that village, Maxine said they continued on to Khumjung, where Edmund Hillary formed Nepal’s
first school. “(Italian mountaineer) Reinhold Messner was there creating a documentary to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Edmund Hillary’s climb. We actually got to talk to Reinhold Messner and we were filmed while we were talking to him. We probably won’t see it here, but some place in the world we will be seen talking to Reinhold Messner!” Maxine said. The trek then carried on to Pheriche and, after two days of acclimatization, on to Lobuche. “That’s when we really started to get into a lot of cloud. The second day, when we left, we pretty much walked through cloud that day until we got to Lobuche,” Maxine said. The group’s Nepalese guides were fantastic, she said, making sure the group went slow enough to handle the elevation.
Advertorial
“They looked after us very well. We really couldn’t say enough about them. They were just so great,” Maxine said.
“I thought, ‘Oh God, I can’t do that.’ Then I just said to myself, ‘One step at a time, Max, one step at a time.’ So I just did it one step at a time and I got there.” Maxine Adshead Leaving Lobuche, the group faced a steep hill that required determination to conquer, Maxine said. “I remember when we left Lobuche, I looked up at this hill and I thought, ‘Oh God, I can’t do that.’ Then I just said to myself, ‘One step at a time, Max, one step at a time.’ So I just did it one
step at a time and I got there.” Providing her with inspiration was one member of her group, named Robert, who did the trek despite having cerebral palsy and not learning to walk until he was 11 years old. With one person on either side of him for support, Robert made it to Gorak Shep at 16,942 feet in elevation. “To me, it was extremely inspirational. For people who do things and complain, I just think, just look at Robert and use him as a guide to how you can do things, just don’t let things get in your way,” Maxine said. “Part of it is sheer determination. That’s what it took for him. So much energy had to be expended to take steps compared to the rest of us.” The group arrived at Gorak Shep having already hiked five hours that day. Still, most of
the group decided to carry on to base camp at 17,500 feet in elevation, another two and a half hours each way. “It was challenging because it was such a long day. If it hadn’t been quite so long, it wouldn’t have been quite as exhausting,” Maxine said. “Part of it is the terrain. The terrain is really rough.” She compared the hike from Gorak Shep to base camp to the boulder field on Fisher Peak. “You are going over that at twice the elevation of Fisher Peak, only it isn’t just up, it’s up and down. And that’s the last two and a half hours, getting to base camp, and then two and a half hours getting back,” Maxine said. Base camp was a busy place when Maxine visited in prime season for summiting Everest. “It’s just a huge sea of tents,” she said. The place was abuzz with the news of a Japa-
nese man in his 80s who had just returned from reaching Everest’s peak. But for every inspiring story, there was one of tragedy — Maxine lost count of the number of people she heard had died on Everest during her time in Nepal. Some were hit by falling boulders, others by avalanches. Some got lost in the fog, while others ran out of oxygen on the way down from the summit. “And I only heard about some of them, I’m sure. Some things I just don’t want to hear; it just makes me too sad,” Maxine said. Now back in Cranbrook, the active grandmother, who is a member of a Cranbrook retirees hiking group and has a black belt in karate, hasn’t given much thought of where she will next travel to. “I haven’t anything that I’ve thought of, but you never know with me what’s going to happen next,” Maxine said.
Kimberley seniors get featured in local media by Kathleen Thomas Residents at Garden View Village in Kimberley have been keeping local media outlets busy lately. Over the last couple months, Shaw TV’s go! Kootenays program has featured stories on residents Nona Fransen, and Len and Catherine Shields. At 84, Nona Fransen has spent a lifetime tearing up the ski slopes. As a young woman living in Trail, Fransen and her friends would hike up the hill at Rossland’s Red Mountain wearing their ski boots, strap on their skis at the top and carve turns in the powder all the way down. Nowadays, Fransen has it a lot easier; she mentions in her TV feature, living at Garden View Village makes hitting the slopes a stress-free because her housekeeping is done for her and tasty meals are ready for her when she gets back home. She made the news by doing what she loves; she’s a dedicated athlete who believes that if you can keep fit, you should. The Shields’s story is completely different but equally impressive. This couple caught the attention of Shaw TV because of their enduring love story. Len and Catherine Shields have been married for 64 years. After a chance encounter at a bus stop in 1948, they both were hit by Cupid’s arrow and have lived a rich, rewarding life together. Their home at Garden View Village
gives them ample opportunity to visit with family and friends. There is plenty of room if one of their 20 great-grandkids wants to sleep over. While Len and Catherine enjoy a morning game of gin rummy to keep a competitive spark alive, they can also play cards and other games with the other friendly residents of Garden View Village. The Village draws residents from all walks of life. The many amenities, the security, the social opportunities, and the easily accessed personal care are among the features valued by residents. Delicious home-style meals are served each day, along with morning and afternoon snacks and coffee/tea. For those who like to do their own cooking, all residents have full kitchens in their suite. The housekeeping and maintenance are taken care of so seniors have a welcome break from those chores. A chapel, a library and games room, a spa room and a salon where residents can get haircut and set: these are all welcome aspects of the community. This worry free community is perfect for those seeking an active lifestyle and complete peace of mind. Whether you’re an athlete, a social butterfly, or a retiring person who values a quiet, attractive home, Garden View Village has much to offer. For more information call Garden View Village at 250-427-4014.

Group seeks support from Cranbrook Council Continued from page 1 They would apply for funding from the Heritage Legacy Fund to cover the $30,000 and get the work done with volunteer labour. They have started a list of volunteers. “We would like to see the building put back to good shape and then used again,” Haberman said. Coun. Angus Davis couldn’t understand how the group estimated such a low number
compared with the engineering report. “If we say yes you go ahead, that leaves the onus right on the city if some mistake is made where the building is not structurally made significantly better than it should be,” Davis said. Haberman argued that the report had a lot of things not necessary for preserving the building. “They have $15,000 for insulation, $6,600
Study says B.C. is ‘in the risk zone’ for mega-earthquake Dene Moore Canadian Press
The British Columbia coast has seen 22 major earthquakes over the last 11,000 years, and is due for another, says a new study. But there is no cause for alarm, cautioned the author of the research paper published Wednesday. “The longest time between earthquakes along the southern B.C. coast is about a thousand years, and we also know that our most recent megathrust earthquake happened 313 years ago,’’ said Audrey Dallimore, of Royal Roads University. “So what that means is we’re due for another subduction zone earthquake either tomorrow — or 700 years from now.’’ In terms of a human lifetime, it’s not necessarily imminent, but knowing the earthquake cycle is important, she said. “Hopefully it wakes us up a little bit to understand that we’re living on a planet that does things happily on its own, and large earthquakes are some of those things, and those things may happen within our lifetimes and will certainly happen at some time over the life of our communities and our infrastructures,’’ she said. The study looked at sediment disturbance in Effingham Inlet, on the west coast of Vancouver
Island. Dallimore said researchers using state-ofthe-art radiocarbon dating determined the last so-called megathrust earthquake in the zone that stretches from northern Vancouver Island down to California happened more than 300 years ago. In fact, comparing the sediment dating to records of a tsunami in Japan, they were able to pinpoint the last socalled megathrust quake to a 9 p.m., Jan. 26, 1700. The world’s largest earthquakes are all megathrust earthquakes, which occur when there is a slip along the fault between a subducting and overriding tectonic plate. There has never been a megathrust earthquake along the west coast in the written history of Canada, but the study found that megathrust earthquakes occur about every 500 years in the region, although they can stretch out for up to 1,000 years. “The last megathrust earthquake originating from the Cascadia subduction zone occurred in 1700 AD. Therefore, we are now in the risk zone of another earthquake,’’ Dallimore said. B.C. forms part of the North American portion of what is called the Pacific “Ring of Fire,’’ a 40,000 km horseshoe of ocean trenches and volcanic zones where 90 per cent of the world’s earthquakes take place.
for plumbing and $10,000 for drywalling the ceiling and the interior work,” Haberman said. “A lot of these things really don’t apply to keeping that building in good repair. A lot of these things are an upgrade to take it to the next level.” He said that the engineering report didn’t touch on anything structural. Amsing said there is building experience within the group, noting that he himself has renovated four or five 100-year-old homes within Cranbrook and in Alberta. “If an engineer went in there and said, ‘Look, it needs supports, all the way inside needs to be cross braced,’ that’s a different story,” he said. “But the engineer didn’t say that. The engineer is saying we’re going to take out the ceiling and put in $15,000 worth of insulation into a storage building, $10,000 into electrical. I don’t see the point of putting

about the locations of the building, between city hall (a heritage building), the empty fire hall and the police station, which will likely be transitioned to another use in the future. “My question is, if this building is preserved, more for the aesthetics of its historic appearance rather than as a functional part of
what the city uses this land for,” Whetham said, adding that he didn’t want to see effort go into preserving a building then council deciding later that it is the wrong place for the building, if for instance city hall were to be expanded. Coun. Diana J. Scott asked whether they would be interested in
seeing the building repurposed as something else, such as new washrooms downtown. “We’re looking at it from a point of view that this is one of two buildings left in Cranbrook with that architectural design, which is very unique to this area,” Amsing said. “Why would we want to tear it down and repurpose the bricks when we’ve got it there? We can preserve it and keep it going for many more years.” Scott also worried about the building getting a heritage designation, because then it may not be able to be moved. The application deadline for the heritage funding is not for another year, and so council will have some decisions to make in terms of what it hopes to accomplish in the area behind city hall and whether a historic brick garage fits into that vision.

The legacy of Nelson Mandela
A
s I write this Nelson Mandela is still with us. He may even still be living at the end of this year. But this is his fourth hospitalisation in six months, and the prognosis for 94-year-old men with persistent lung infections is not good. How will South Africa do without him? Wrong question, actually. In practice, South Africa has been doing without him for more than a decade already — but psychologically, it is just now getting to grips with the reality that he will soon be gone entirely. For all its many faults and failures, post-apartheid South Africa is a miracle that few expected to happen. Although Mandela retired from the presidency in 1999, 14 years later he is still seen as the man who made the magic work, and somehow the guarantor that it will go on working. If only in some vague and formless way, a great many people fear that his death will remove that safety net. Just in the past two weeks, however, the tone of the discussion has begun to change. On hearing that Nelson Mandela had been admitted to hospital yet again, Andrew Mlangeni, one of his dearest friends and once a fellow-prisoner on Robben Island, said simply: “It’s time to let him go. The family must release him, so that God may have his own way with him ... Once the family releases him, the people of South Africa will follow.” That one comment opened the floodgates, for it had a strong resonance in traditional African culture, which holds that a very sick person cannot die until his family “releases” him. They have to give him “permission” to die, by reassuring him that his loved ones will be fine when he’s gone. So South Africans must now accept that they can get along without
Nelson Mandela, and then he will be free to go. It’s not that everybody really believes in this tradition, but it frames the conversation in more positive and less distressing way. People can argue about whether or not South Africa is doing as well as it should, but they can at least agree that Mandela got the country safely through the most dangerous phase of the transition, and that they can carry on with the job of building a just and democratic society without him. Except for President Gwynne Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, of course. Mugabe Dyer has always deeply resented the fact that Nelson Mandela is revered as the father of his nation while he himself is seen as a vicious tyrant who has ruined his country. So he seized the opportunity of a recent high-profile interview on South African television to accuse Mandela of having failed in his duty to South Africa’s black majority: he had been too soft on the whites. What would have particularly annoyed Mandela, if he was well enough to watch the show, was that the interviewer was Dali Tambo, the son of his oldest and most trusted ally, the late Oliver Tambo. As young lawyers, the two men co-founded South Africa’s first black-run legal office in 1952, and when Tambo became the president-in-exile of the African National Congress he made Mandela’s release from prison its highest priority. Dali Tambo is another kettle of fish: a flamboyant man who has traded on his family name to forge a career as a TV interviewer. He has his own soft-focus interview show, “People of the South,” and recently he persuaded Robert Mugabe to give him a two-hour interview. In the course of it, Mugabe dismissed Mandela
as “too much of a saint.” “Mandela has gone a bit too far in doing good to the non-black communities, really in some cases at the expense of blacks,” the Zimbabwean dictator said. “That’s being too saintly, too good, too much of a saint.” Nonsense. What Nelson Mandela and his white negotiating partner, F.W. De Klerk, were trying to avoid in the early 1990s was a South African civil war that would have killed millions and lasted for a very long time. The 20 per cent white minority were heavily armed, and they had nowhere else to go. Their families, for the most part, had been in South Africa for at least a century. Therefore, a settlement that gave South Africa a peaceful (and hopefully prosperous) democratic future had to be one in which the whites still had a future. So you either make the kind of deal that Mandela and De Klerk made, in which nobody loses too much, or you submit to a future that would make the current civil war in Syria look like a tea party. And by the way, Mugabe was making his remarks in a country whose economy has been so devastated by his “tougher” approach that fully one-quarter of the population has fled abroad in search of work, mostly to South Africa. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, talking about Mandela’s inevitable death, said last week: “The best memorial to Nelson Mandela would be a democracy that was really up and running: a democracy in which every single person in South Africa knew that they mattered.” That is still some distance away, but Mandela has laid the foundations. He was the right man for the job: a saint who also understood realpolitik. Gwynne Dyer is a London-based independent journalist

Summer Reading Challenge
Built on a foundation of books What’s Up?
W
hen I was a kid, before I started school, my mother used the library as a day care. In the community where we lived, the library was located in the community centre. Once a week, she would attend a meeting there. Instead of having me sit in on the meeting with colouring books – and having to shush me every few minutes – she would drop off in the library, have a word to the librarian, and come back for me an hour later after her meeting. I rarely even noticed she was gone. It was already common for me to spend hours in the children’s section of the library. My mum had taught me to read a little already; my dad would invent his own stories to go with pictures in my favourite books so every time we read it, the tale was different. By the summer of Grade 3, my teachers were calling me “a voracious reader”. And because I read so much, I actual-
ly knew what that word meant. Once a week over summer, I’d go to the library and borrow seven or eight books. By the end of the week, I’d have burned through the lot. I made friends with so many different characters, and could barely stand to say goodbye to them when I read the final page. To ease the grief, I’d just start the next book. My mother would tell me to go for a walk, get out in the fresh air. So I’d walk, with my head in a book the entire way. We would go on family road trips. In a strange twist, I would get motion sickness when I wasn’t reading. But somewhere along the way, I stopped reading so much. I always have a book on the go, even more so since my family gave me an e-reader a few Christmases ago. But it’s barely the same. I cherish book series, because it’s enough to absorb me so much that I will read
Sally MacDonald above doing other things. These days, I watch television, or I read items on the internet using my iPhone. The other day, my chiropractor told me that for the sake of my neck muscles, I should stop looking at my phone all the time and go back to reading. I mean, that’s doctor’s orders, right? It gave me an idea. This summer, instead of watching repeats on HGTV for hours, playing thoughtless time-suck games on my phone, I am going to launch my own personal summer reading chal-
lenge. Every week, I will read a book that has made the New York Times bestseller list. That way we can trust that each novel I read is easy to digest and probably going to be liked by a vast majority of people. I’ll avoid series since it’s hard to drop into the middle and not get bogged down by going back to the beginning. Each book will be available at Cranbrook Public Library. Then I’ll write a review to appear here once a week. There’s no going back; I’ll be held accountable by that weekly deadline. And I know how to meet a deadline, let me tell you. Famous last words. Stay tuned next week for my first review: ‘The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry’ by Rachel Joyce. When she’s not buried in a book, Sally MacDonald is a reporter at the Cranbrook Daily Townsman.
Towards stronger Asian relationships
S
o why is Cranbrook going to Wonju and Taicang? A fair question, and one that I have wrestled with over the last few months. To find the answer we need to go back a ways. In spring 2008 the City agreed, with financial support from the province, to pursue the development of an Asia Pacific twinning opportunity. Unlike traditional sister city or friendship relationships, the focus is on building long-term relationships that will generate new investment opportunities for selected communities in B.C. Asia has become a major global economic driver and is increasingly important to our future. Over 50 per cent of the coal produced in the Elk Valley is bound for Asia and the Skookumchuck pulp mill is now owned by the China-based “Paper Excellence” company. Provincially while B.C. exports to the U.S. are decreasing, exports to Asia are increasing substantially. Although the City agreed to take on the role as a regional centre for this part of B.C., due to local priorities substantial work on this initiative didn’t begin until late 2010 with the commencement of market opportunity research and candidate community identification. In 2011, a consultant with Asia expertise was retained to undertake the initial scouting exercise to identify potential
twinning communities. In the same year Cranbrook city staff participated in a trade delegation to Asia (specifically Beijing and Seoul) to assess demand for resources available in our region, particularly bio-
Wayne Stetski mass, to develop local contacts in Asia with the B.C. and Canada trade representatives, and to get a better understanding on the protocols and cultural subtleties of working with officials in China and Korea. Based on the research in 2011, Cranbrook took the next step to developing formal ties to Asia with a small delegation from the City making the first formal introductions to Taicang, China and Wonju, South Korea in February, 2012. These two communities were identified as having the strongest economic twinning potential for Cranbrook and the region. During the February 2012 visit a Letter of Understanding to explore economic opportunities was signed with Taicang, and in August of 2012 Cranbrook hosted a senior delegation of five municipal officials from Wonju, South Korea. We are expecting a visit from senior city officials from Taicang,
China in the fall of 2013. The upcoming visit is intended to strengthen the relationship between Cranbrook and these two Asia Pacific communities and to explore in more detail the economic opportunities that may be realized. The visit to Taicang is geared towards natural resource exports from the region, opportunities for post-secondary training through the College of the Rockies (COTR), and inbound tourism to the Kootenays. In Wonju, the focus will be on education and tourism to start with as well as us learning more about their alternative energy solutions and use of solar energy. As I said earlier I struggled with “is this a good investment of Cranbrook citizen’s tax dollars?” The cost estimate is around $10,500 total for Councillor Diana J. Scott, Economic Development Officer Kevin Weaver, and me for airfare as once we are over there the host cities pick up the majority of our costs. I asked representatives of the Province of BC’s Economic Development Division both locally and in Victoria if we should do this. Their response was yes — this endeavour is a great opportunity for Cranbrook and the region, and to realize the benefits you must commit to maintaining and solidifying the relationships.
Mayors and Councillors are extremely important in Chinese and Korean cultures and are key to making this initiative work. My approach then became to do whatever we could to make it a trade and investment initiative. We have invited other East Kootenay mayors, the College of the Rockies, Teck Coal and Canfor representatives to accompany us. I have asked a businessman who spends a fair bit of time in China selling B.C. wood to provide a list of important people to visit in Taicang. I have also requested material from the Ktunaxa First Nation and Kootenay Rockies Tourism to provide material that we can use to encourage more visitation to our region from China and South Korea, which are both areas of growth for visits to B.C. While I very much value the twinning of Cranbrook with these cities in Asia I also want to see some new business come out of it. Developing trust and a sense of mutual respect is key to making it happen. Will we have a successful trip? I’ll let you know. We leave on June 17 and return on June 27 after spending three days in Taicang, four in Wonju and three days travelling. I’ll follow up with you upon our return. Wayne Stetski is Mayor of Cranbrook

Bombers open new field with a loss to Argonauts WINNIPEG - The cowbells rang and the horns blew as Investors Group Field was christened but the Toronto Argonauts spoiled the party with a 24-6 exhibition win over the Blue Bombers Wednesday. Last year’s Grey Cup champions brought their backup quarterbacks and a cast of newcomers to town and still looked confident on the newest turf in the CFL. The Bombers opened with starter Buck Pierce but pulled him midway through the first quarter, putting in Max Hall, one of the two newcomers in camp this season to challenge for No. 1 backup. Hall played the rest of the first half. Justin Goltz took over in the second, the only backup the Bombers retained from last season. The other newcomer, Chase Clement, saw action in the fourth quarter. Canadian Press
Coyotes move possible if no deal is reached in Glendale CHICAGO - NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly says it’s possible the Phoenix Coyotes could relocate if a new ownership group can’t reach a deal to keep the team in Glendale, Ariz. The Coyotes’ unstable situation appears to be the biggest issue facing the league, and commissioner Gary Bettman said “time is getting short” finding a solution to keep the team in Arizona. Asked about Quebec City, Bettman refused to speculate on potential landing spots for the Coyotes. “We’re still focused on making it work with the Coyotes staying in Arizona,” he said. “I don’t want to begin the process, particularly publicly, where there’s going to be a lot of speculation as to where the team might go if it moved because all that would do would be to unfairly raise expectation in places.” Canadian Press

Club team brings the heat in Spokane TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Four out of five wins isn’t so bad for the Cranbrook 3G girls basketball club. The club headed down south of the border over the weekend for the annual Gonzaga Shootout, a club basketball tournament in Spokane, where they racked up a 4-1 record, while being the lone representative from Canada in a field of 40 teams. “I am happy with our play this weekend,” said Bobbi-Jo Colburn. “I am so proud of how hard our coaching staff has helped us to understand the importance of skill and development, competitive drive and goal setting in a competitive environment.”
The team beat up Shadle Park 47-25 but were given a bit more of a challenge with a 45-30 win over Mount Spokane. The Cranbrook squad had two more dominating wins over Coleville by a score of 42-22 and Naches Valley by 39-22. The only loss for the 3G club was served by East Valley at a score of 42-33. “This is a great showing for our program and team, and a great achievement for the girls,” said head coach Greg Colburn. “It will help us in next year’s bid to jump up a division to a larger classification. “Our program is now recognized in Alberta, British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest as a com-

Shaw leads Blackhawks past Bruins in triple OT STEPHEN WHYNO Canadian Press
CHICAGO - By the time it ended, the Chicago Blackhawks’ comeback was a distant memory. It almost didn’t matter that the Boston Bruins blew a two-goal lead in the third period. Almost an entire game was played after regulation ended, capped by Andrew Shaw’s game-winner at 12:08 of triple overtime that gave the Blackhawks a 4-3 victory Wednesday night at United Center and a 1-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup final. It was the fifth longest game in Cup
final history. After 112 minutes of hockey, the fatigue was noticeable. More than 100 shots were put on goal, more than 100 hits levelled and more than 100 faceoffs taken. But all that mattered was a double deflection, a point shot by Michal Rozsival that went off
David Bolland and Shaw that finished the Blackhawks’ comeback that began hours earlier. “We knew it wasn’t going to be pretty at this point,” said Shaw. “It was a great shot. It was unbelievable. All the guys, we deserved this. It was a great battle for us.” For most of the night, a storybook ending for the Blackhawks looked unlikely. Led by David Krejci and Milan Lucic, the Bruins looked just as bit as strong as they did in sweeping the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference final.

AIMING FOR THE MESH: A Cranbrook Outlaws pee wee lacrosse player takes a shot at the net during a game against a squad out of Lethbridge over the weekend at Western Financial Place. The Pee Wee Outlaws lost both their games to the same team. The Midgets suffered a pair of losses, while the Bantams won twice at home, and the Novices, which are in a heated battle for first place, pulled out a pair of wins on the road.
Skapski off to Hockey Canada camp TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Mackenzie Skapski is back in familiar territory. The Kootenay Ice crease guardian is in Calgary for a second straight appearance at a Hockey Canada Program of Excellence goaltending camp for the next four days. Eighteen other goaltenders from across the CHL have joined Skapski, including Cranbrook product Payton Lee, who minds the net for the Vancouver Giants. “We have had terrific success with this camp in its first seven years, and we are excited to Need help with current events?

have Canada’s best young goaltenders work with some of the top instructors in the game,” said Brad Pascall, Hockey Canada’s vice-president of hockey operations/national teams. “We want to give these young goaltenders every opportunity to develop and prepare for international competition, and we feel this camp is a step in the right direction.” Skapski was arguably one of the biggest reasons for Kootenay’s stellar record in the second half of the season, as he
backstopped the team from the basement of the WHL to the franchise’s 15th consecutive playoff appearance. Setting a franchise record for games played in a single season, Skapski suited up for 65 contests, posting a 2.78 goals against average and a save percentage of 0.910. Other WHL net minders such as Austin Lotz (Everett), Lee (Vancouver), Chris Driedger (Calgary), and Eric Comrie (Tri-City) are also taking part in the camp.

Being that he was there last year, Skapski doesn’t have any expectations, but hopes to make an impression. “I have no expectations this year, just being here once before,” Skapski said. “[I want to] just come in and put myself on the map and hopefully get a shot at continuing with Hockey Canada.” The camp consists of both on- and off-ice sessions with goaltending coaches from around

the WHL, OHL and QMJHL. “You got guys from across the CHL and they all have different techniques and its really tough to adjust to, going from drill to drill, but you just need to soak everything in,” said Skapski. “It’s fun competing— it’s one of my biggest attributes—and I’m really looking forward to seeing the guys around the league.”
LOS ANGELES - The Dodgers remained upset Wednesday about their brawl with the Arizona Diamondbacks, and much of their ire was directed toward pitcher Ian Kennedy. Kennedy hit Los Angeles rookie Yasiel Puig and pitcher Zack Greinke with high pitches Tuesday night, and a day later the Dodgers were still taking exception to where they were thrown. “Anything like that is going to leave a lot of taste in people’s mouths,” manager Don Mattingly said. Mattingly said he doesn’t think Kennedy hit Puig deliberately. The ball deflected off the young slugger’s shoulder and grazed his nose. The pitch from Kennedy to Greinke deflected off his helmet and
struck his upper left shoulder. “The second ball is no doubt intentional,” Mattingly said. “That’s two balls thrown last night that could have ended guys’ careers.” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson repeated his earlier denial that Kennedy was head-hunting Greinke. “That’s not our intent,” he said. The teams met in the series finale on Wednesday night, one night after their nasty fight led to six ejections, including Kennedy, Puig and Gibson. “We had some guys on our team get heated and overreacted,” Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw said. Arizona catcher Miguel Montero had a different view. “We both went at it, and it was kind of fun,” he said.
Weather forces Blue JaysWhite Sox to postpone game
CHICAGO - The game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox scheduled for Wednesday night was postponed because storms were in the forecast. The game was called early in the afternoon as severe weather was approaching. No makeup date was announced. The Blue Jays aren’t scheduled to play again at U.S. Cellular Field this season. This was the fourth home postponement for the White Sox this season, the most since they had five home games called off in 2008. Toronto is scheduled to play at Texas on Thursday night.

SAN ANTONIO Game 4 of the NBA Finals will tell more about the Miami Heat than a 66-win regular season ever could. Any questions about LeBron James and the Heat were supposed to have been answered by now. He was too good to be taken out of games, his teammates too talented to go through long stretches where they weren’t contributing. But they didn’t resemble the league’s reigning powerhouse in Game 3, when the San Antonio Spurs handed them the third-worst beating in finals history in a 113-77 romp. They looked like the confused club from two years ago, when the finals last came to Texas. Another loss Thursday night and they’re on the verge of something much bigger than
another finals failure. Lose this series, and the whole Big Three era might be a failure. “Something has to give tomorrow night,” James said Wednesday. “They have a championship pedigree. They have four (titles). We have two. So something has to give. We’ll see what happens. We’ve been able to bounce back throughout adverse times throughout the season throughout the years that we’ve been together, these three years. We’ll see.” “We’ll see” is the approach the Spurs are taking with Tony Parker, who has a mild hamstring strain. The team is calling the All-Star point guard day to day after he was hurt during Game 3 and had an MRI exam Wednesday. “I want to wait until tomorrow before I make a decision whether he should play or not,” Spurs coach Gregg
Popovich said. “And obviously a lot of it will have to do with Tony, and what happens to him during the day, and how I think his play will affect our team, whether good or bad.” The Spurs didn’t need much from him Tuesday, when Danny Green and Gary Neal combined for 13 of the Spurs’ NBA Finals-record 16 3-pointers and Kawhi Leonard had 14 points and 12 rebounds, essentially playing James even. James had his practice jersey hanging over his back like a cape Wednesday, and he knows the Heat need him to be Super on Thursday. And he insists that what he’s going to be. “As dark as it was last night, can’t get no darker than that, especially for me,” he said. “So, I guarantee I’ll be better tomorrow for sure.”

anada is a free country, filled with liberated people who have the ability to make their own logical decisions. We live in one of the most technologically, morally advanced nations in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so why do deathly ill citizens have to fly to countries like Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands in order to achieve peace? The definition of euthanasia is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or in an irreversible coma.â&#x20AC;? As Canadians it is preached daily that we are free, and sayings like â&#x20AC;&#x153;freedom of speechâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;freedom of associationâ&#x20AC;? are tossed around constantly. If we have the freedom to make all these decisions throughout the course of our life, who has the right to say that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose when our life ends? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time and a place for everything, and when someone has been suffering for an immeasurable amount of time, they should have the
ability to cease their suffering and leave their family and friends in peace. Prior to assisted suicide taking place, the patient should have to undergo mental, emotional, and physical evaluation by more than one psychologist and doctor in order to get a fair diagnosis. Legalizing euthanasia has been a topic of debate for years, and there have been numerous cases of people all over the country fighting for the right to end their life painlessly. Another side to this debate is whether or not the doctors across the country feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morally acceptable to take part in the euthanasia of patients. The doctors could possibly be left with a huge burden of whether or not they did the right thing; which is why I definitely support multiple diagnosis from different professionals, so that the doctors could feel content that what they did was in the best interest of their patient. One aspect to euthanasia I definitely disagree with is ending

Rare copy of 1938 comic featuring Supermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut sells for $175,000 Associated Press
A rare copy of the comic book featuring Supermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first appearance that went undiscovered for over 70 years in the insulation of a Minnesota house has been sold for $175,000. Stephen Fishler, CEO of ComicConnect.com, says the winning bidder in the online auction was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard core, golden age
comic book collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; who was looking for a lower-grade, unrestored copy of Action Comics No. 1. He estimates there are only around 100 known copies of Action Comics No. 1, which was published in 1938. David Gonzalez found the copy in the ceiling insulation of a house he was restoring.
someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life without their written or spoken consent. Patients should have written in their will, or voiced to their doctors and family that they wish to end their life this way. Some debilitating diseases will leave a person unable to move or communicate in any way; prior to that happening, I believe that the person should have articulated that when their life provides no more meaning, they want it to be medically ended. I believe that if euthanasia becomes legal and something practiced in North America, it should be just another box to fill out on your driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or ID card. When you receive a new driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to fill out the form that specifies whether or not youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re to be an organ donor; I believe the same should be true with euthanasia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there should be something to
fill out that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re brain dead or have been diagnosed with a fatal disease, assisted suicide would be something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be wanting to have when the time comes. I definitely agree that euthanasia is separate from both murder and suicide. Murder is taking someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life without their consent, and suicide is taking oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own life due to a depression or another form of mental illness. Euthanasia would be unlike both of those â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there would be no way it would be carried out without the one hundred percent consent of the patient, and the patient would undergo severe mental and physical screening before it would be approved. I believe that in the long run euthanasia would be a positive thing in many different ways. Firstly, it would save many fatally ill Canadi-
ans thousands of dollars in flights to other countries. It would also allow their family members, friends, and acquaintances peace of mind and a respectful last image of their loved one. Many people take pride in their image, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want their loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minds tainted with thoughts of them unable to move or speak. Lastly it would save Canadians millions in tax dollars each year, tax dollars that would be going towards keeping ventilators running just because two family members are in a disagreement about who should pull the plug. Euthanasia would allow peace of mind for many Canadians, and I truly believe it should be legalized in our country.

Power athletes of the feline world Scientists awed by cheetahs’ acceleration, power and agility
Seth Borenstein Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Everyone knows cheetahs are blazingly fast. Now new research illustrates how their acceleration and nimble zigzagging leave other animals in the dust and scientists in awe. Researchers first determined that cheetahs can run twice as fast as Olympian Usain Bolt on a straightaway. Then they measured the energy a cheetah muscle produces compared to body size and calculated the same for Bolt, the sprinter. They found the cheetah had four times the crucial kick power of the Olympian. That power to rapidly accelerate — not just speed alone — is the key to the cheetah’s hunting success, said study lead author, Alan Wilson. He’s professor of lo-
You need to keep your wits about you if you hope to outrun the cheetahs. comotive biomechanics at the Royal Veterinary College at the University of London. “Capturing prey seems to come down to manoeuvring,’’ he said. “It’s all the zigzagging, duck-
ing and diving.’’ Wilson and colleagues put specialized tracking collars on five of these animals in Botswana, Africa. They clocked cheetahs topping out at 58 mph (93 kph) — slightly less than the 65 mph (104 kph) measured for a cheetah once in 1965. Wilson said most hunts were done at more moderate speeds of 30 mph (48 kph), but with amazing starts, stops and turns. The way cheetahs pivoted and turned while sprinting was amazing, he said. A cheetah can bank at a 50-degree angle in a highspeed turn, while a motorcycle can do maybe 45 degrees, Wilson said. “If you are trying to catch something, the faster you go, the harder it is to turn,’’ he said.
World’s oldest person and oldest man ever, dies in Japan at age 116 A sso c i at e d Pre ss
TOKYO — Japan’s Jiroemon Kimura, who had been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest living person and the oldest man ever, died Wednesday of natural causes. He was 116. Kimura, of Kyotango, Japan, was born April 19, 1897. Officials in Kyotango said he died in a local hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment for pneumonia. According to Guinness, Kimura was the first man in history to have lived to 116 years old.
Jiroemon Kimura Kimura became the oldest man ever on Dec. 28, 2012, at the age of 115 years, 253 days, breaking the record set by Christian Mortensen, a Danish immigrant to the United States, whose life spanned from 1882-1998.
The title of oldest living person is now held by another Japanese, 115-year-old Misao Okawa, of Osaka. Okawa was born March 5, 1898. Kyotango officials said Kimura’s funeral would be held Friday. The new oldest living man, according to the U.S.-based Gerontology Research Group, is James McCoubrey, and American who was born in Canada on Sept. 13, 1901. Now 111 years old, he is the 32nd oldest living person according to GRG’s list, which shows all those older than him are women.

Gifts to thrill your dad at the barbecue (MS) -- With Father’s Day right around the corner, you can go back to the old standby tie and golf tees package or you can step up to something that will come in handy every time your dad (or anyone else) fires up the grill. The grilling experts at Broil King have some suggestions for every type of grill master, so take a look at these:
The Neat Freak -
- For the dad that likes to keep the grill spotless before and after a meal, a heavy duty grid brush is a must. Recommended is one with a ‘grime guard.’ Broil King says it will keep the grill clean as well as your grill master. Pair it with a biodegradable grill cleaner and let dad worry about cooking, not cleaning.
size for little hands, and a basket that can grill at least six at time will help keep hungry mouths fed. A stuffed burger press is perfect for creating unique flavour combinations for the adults. Try Greek burgers stuffed with feta cheese, roasted red pepper, and spinach.
The Enthusiast
- If he insists on being called Tex, Tiny, Tubby, or just “dad” when he’s tending the barbecue for hours on end, consider a pair of heavy stainless steel pork claws. Broil King’s experts claim they make shredding pork a walk in the park.

a r i n P e n n e r, Dave Butler and I recently attended the BC Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting in Nanaimo, BC. This meeting is a great way for chambers to connect with others from around the province and see what issues are pressing for their particular region of the province. The AGM is the time that chambers present policies they would like

PRESIDENT’S
Fostering a healthy business climate in Cranbrook & District
REPORT
Mike Adams to see brought to the BC Chamber, for the provincial body to advocate for on their behalf. Each policy goes through a rigorous review before it is adopted. During the year, an individual chamber drafts a policy that it forwards to the provincial policy review committee. The policy review committee is made up of members from around the province that have expertise in working with this type of doc-
umentation, as well as being comprised of a cross section of backgrounds that are involved in the individual policies themselves. Representatives from the retail sector, the tourism sector, and natural resources are all part of the process. The committee comments on the draft policy and suggests changes that maybe needed to improve it. Policies should focus on the business community in BC or
Canada as a whole, as opposed to one municipality or region within a province. The committee will comment on the policy and suggest their support or opposition to it. During the conference, each policy is debated individually and any member may speak in favour of or in opposition to the policy. Finally, the policy is voted on and requires a 2/3 majority vote to pass and become part of the BC Chamber policy manual. Some of the highlights to this year’s approved policies include: One that would see the Provincial Government work with the BC Arts Council and the BC Gaming and Enforcement Branch to institute a three year funding cycle for arts and cultural
organizations receiving core funding
reduce the administrative burden of the PST
A recommendation for the Provincial Government to amend the Community Charter & Local Government Act to establish reasonable timelines and focused guidelines for the approval/ rejection of development permits by local governments and to provide standard requirements for the submission of development permits to local governments such as specific drawing requirements, traffic survey, etc.
Further changes to PST to provide exemptions on all agricultural goods and services that are zero-rated under the GST system to help enhance BC’s agriculture competitiveness
A policy for the Provincial Government to provide a fully refundable investment tax credit claimed on businesses’ income tax returns equal to the PST paid on all acquisitions of machinery and equipment and working with the chamber to
2012 ANNUAL REPORT The City of Cranbrook 2012 Annual Report will be presented to Council for consideration at the Special Meeting on June 24, 2013 at 3:00pm in the City Hall Council Chambers. The 2012 Annual Report is available for public review at the City website – www.cranbrook.ca or can be picked up at reception at City Hall. This notice is published in accordance with Section 99 of the Community Charter.
A number of policies regarding the forest industry and changes the government can make to ensure a healthy forest industry now and in the future. There were some policies brought forward that did not pass into effect. A couple that had interesting debate included: a policy that would see BC not change time and always be on daylight savings time, and one that would see driver training for young drivers be brought in as a
component of the secondary school curriculum.
Overall it was a very good conference and provided us an opportunity to network with other chambers in the province. It was interesting to discuss issues facing other communities and discovering that many are going through similar advocacy procedures in their cities. There were a number that have been working with their city on reducing barriers to doing business in the city, and working with the city on streamlining policies and procedures within the city to make it easier for business. We look forward to bringing some of these recommendations to our own advocacy efforts.

See This year marks the 49th anniversary of the Sam Steele Days festival and is being held June 13-16th. It is Cranbrook’ s largest annual festival, attracting thousands of locals and visitors from out of town. This year Sam Steele Days has undergone a bit of a makeover, streamlining some of the marketing and visuals. With hundreds of volunteer hours donated into making the festival run smoothly and hundreds more in planning it became important to organizers that the event branding become more consistent and recognizable which helps save time and improves the overall exposure. In early March this year an online vote was set up where over 450 people participated in deciding what logo should represent the festival. The winning logo sports Sam Steele’s iconic moustache combined with the traditional Canadian maple leaf and unmistakable Canadian Royal Mounties uniform. You will see new posters, print ads, buttons and more at this year’s festival showcasing the new logo, look and feel. With over 12,000 visits to the Sam Steele Days website last year alone, Sam Steele Days has also become more accessible by establishing a Facebook page at www. facebook.com/samsteeledays, a twitter account @samsteeledays and a real-time event calendar and blog at www.samsteeledays.org. The Sam Steele website has also been made mobile friendly so that event goers can look up and find instant information about event times and locations.

Nun with record of 86 years in monastery dies in Spain A s s oc iate d Press
MADRID, Spain — A nun believed to hold the world record of 86 years cloistered in a monastery has died in Spain. Sister Maria Romero, abbess of the Buenafuente del Sistal monastery northeast of Madrid said Wednesday that Sister Teresita Barajuen had died overnight. She was 105. She entered the Cistercian monastery when she was 19, the

abbess said. Barajuen acknowledged in interviews that like many young women at the time, she never intended being a nun but entered the monastery because of family pressure. In 2011, Barajuen left the monastery for the first time in 40 years to meet retired Benedict XVI during a papal visit to Madrid. She had entered the monastery on the same day he was born.
Britain reopens embassy in Haiti after an absence of 47-years
UN report lists atrocities against minors in Mali Associated Press
An annual U.N. report on children in armed conflict details atrocities against minors in Mali for the first time. The Secretary General’s report released Wednesday linked 21 countries to atrocities against minors including torture rape and forced recruitment. The report says hundreds of children were enlisted by Islamic groups who seized northern Mali for 10 months last year before a France-led interven-

tion chased them out. The children were mainly boys between 12 and 15. The document also said the U.N. received reports that pro-government militias recruited children. The report also accused both the Syrian government and rebel groups of committing atrocities against children in that country’s civil war. The Syrian and Malian missions to the U.N. did not immediately return requests for comment.
Associated Press
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Britain reopened its embassy in Haiti on Wednesday after being absent for nearly a half century, a part of an effort to broaden its diplomatic and business presence in the Western Hemisphere. The new two-person mission will be housed at the Canadian Embassy in Port-au-Prince. The ambassador is Steven Fisher, who is already the British envoy
to the neighbouring Dominican Republic. He will continue to live and work in the Dominican capital of Santo Domingo. Britain opened an embassy in El Salvador late last year and another will be reopened in Paraguay in July as part of a push by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to strength British diplomacy in Latin America and the Caribbean. A new British consulate was opened in late 2011 in the Bra-
zilian city of Recife. There was already a full embassy in Brazil’s capital of Brasilia and consulates in the leading cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Visiting British Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire was on hand for the Wednesday ceremony in Portau-Prince. He also met with President Michel Martelly and other Haitian officials during a two-day trip to encourage bilateral trade and investment.

H
uatulco is one of the few areas in Mexico still unspoiled by tourism. When I looked at a map to see where I was travelling to, I was very surprised how far south it really is. Huatulco is located in the southwest corner of Mexico in the state of Oaxaca. Its sunny dry climate boasts more than 300 days of sunshine per year! It is truly a wonderful, unspoiled vacation destination. There are two quaint towns nearby, La Crucecita and Santa Cruz. La Crucecita is a charming “true Mexican” town with many shops, flea markets and restau-

The “zocalo” or town square in La Crucecita is the centre of the charming Mexican town in the unspoiled Huatulco region.

rants. It is centred around the main square or “zocalo”, which is an attraction on its own. You can stroll the streets to visit an amazing church, or visit the weaving factory off a cobblestone street. The area is also famous for its black Oaxaca pottery which you can purchase at almost any shop. Santa Cruz is a lively harbour area with restaurants and boutiques. Boats depart from Santa Cruz dock to take visitors to the many beaches close by and it is the cruise dock for major cruise lines. The area is made up of a series of nine bays, and many small coves, home to more than 30 wonderful sandy beaches. The views are amazing and the jagged coastline is pristine. Enjoy a day at one of the many deserted beaches. You can pack a cooler, hire a cab, get dropped off in the morning and arrange for a pick up in the afternoon! For excursions, there is something for everyone. You can try river rafting, seven bays snorkelling tours, ecological crocodile and turtle tours, waterfall tours. There is golfing, shopping, and relaxing. There is also Copalita, an eco-archeological site that dates back to 500 BC.

A powerful tool when you want to reach your potential customers.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will sense some volatility in the air; however, you should note that this energy most likely is coming from you. Though this might surprise you, do your best to keep communication moving. You’ll enjoy the series of calls that come in. Make plans. Tonight: Think “weekend.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might be taken aback by people’s behavior and, consequently, what you learn about them. Stay even and direct in how you deal with this volatility. Note your reaction, but choose not to visibly react. Think positively instead. Tonight: Make a family-favorite meal. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Do not stand on ceremony with someone. Simply call that person and make plans. If it is concerning a professional matter, you might want to schedule a meeting. If the other party is not enthusiastic, simply drop his or her participation in a project. Tonight: You’ll find the right words.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your instincts are working overtime. Why not test them out, and then keep track of how often you are right? No one needs to know if you are uncomfortable sharing. Use care with your spending -- you could be misreading someone. Tonight: Treat a friend to drinks and munchies. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be more in touch with someone’s feelings. You would prefer to know up front if there is something on this person’s mind. A call from a distance could result in a change of plans, and it also might cause you to rethink a personal matter. Tonight: Find your friends and join them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might enjoy some downtime, in which you feel less pressured by others. The real issue has to do with how much you are willing to give. Stay in touch with a key friend or an associate. This person often play devil’s advocate for you in situations like this. Tonight: Get plenty of rest! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
For Better or Worse
Close friends make all the difference. They give you feedback, and they encourage you. You don’t have to incorporate their ideas, but it’s nice to have them behind you. News comes in that could cause you to reconsider an important decision. Tonight: Music, fun and friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to rethink a personal matter that could be driving your professional or outside life. A friend, family member or loved one might be trying to run interference. Listen to this person’s insight and feedback, if you trust him or her. Tonight: In the limelight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to an expert or someone at a distance. The more you know, the better your decisions will be. A loved one could be provocative, yet he or she has ingenious ideas. Your creativity will surge as a result of dealing with him or her directly. Tonight: Mix relaxing with fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A partner holds the key to a change in your life. The issue
lies in how well you relate to this person and whether you can see eye to eye. Only time will tell. If you can be reflective, you will respond in a very different way. Tonight: Join a friend or loved one for dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Move forward in a positive manner. You might need to dodge an emotional wall that someone has constructed in order to achieve the results you desire. Stay calm when dealing with the unexpected. Others will seek you out, so make time for them. Tonight: Fun with a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. If you feel lucky, take a bit of a risk. Buy a lottery ticket, or express feelings to a loved one that you have held back. Consider making exercise a part of your daily life. Know that it will happen naturally. Tonight: Run errands.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: About a year ago, I ran into a woman I used to spend time with in high school. We are both married, although she is going through a divorce. Since that day, she and I have been talking quite a bit. We discuss a lot of different things, all on a platonic level. The problem is, I believe I am becoming infatuated with her again. I had a thing for her throughout high school but never had the courage to ask her out, probably because I was too afraid to lose our friendship. I am now in a situation where I won’t be home for a few months. I know I will miss her communication. I feel I’m doing something wrong. Is this normal? Do I need to just keep my distance and cease contact? -- Back in High School Dear Back: You recognize that you are “becoming” infatuated (we think you are already there) and will miss this woman’s communication. The fact that she is going through a divorce also puts you in an awkward position, because she may lean on you for comfort, and when she becomes available, you will find her hard to resist. Please back far, far away before you find yourself enmeshed in an affair, whether emotional or physical. If your marriage needs revitalizing, work on it. Consider how your wife would feel if she found out how close you are to this other woman. How would you feel if she did this to you? You are playing with fire. Stop. Dear Annie: This summer, I have my concert tickets ordered and am excited to see some of my favorite performers on stage. However, I’m unsure of proper etiquette after a problem I encountered last year. I went to a country concert, which meant plenty of beer and dancing. The problem was, as soon as the audience stood up, the people directly behind me started yelling at my friend and me to sit down. We did, but we couldn’t see a thing because of the dozens of rows of people standing in front of us. We stood back up, only to be yelled at again. I turned around and explained that everyone else was standing and they should do the same. They were angry and continued to yell throughout the concert. After the concert, they sarcastically thanked us for ruining their night. What is the right way to handle people like this? Should I sit and see nothing because misery loves company? -- Juliana Dear Juliana: Concerts have evolved into two basic types: The formal concert, where everyone sits, and the informal concert, where people often stand. Once the people in the rows ahead of you get up, you need to do the same in order to see. We have advised people who attend such concerts to try to get seats in the front row or first-row balcony if they want their view unobstructed. Those who are in wheelchairs often find there is a handicapped section, although it may be necessary to find an usher and inquire. It is unrealistic at informal events to expect hundreds of other people to sit down for your convenience. If this happens again, apologize to the people behind you and suggest that they, too, stand up or move closer to the aisle for a better view. You are not obligated to sit if the people in front of you are standing. Dear Annie: “An Anxious Mom” was reluctant to give money from her late husband’s will to her 58-year-old unemployed son who is living on his veterans benefits. One of your suggestions was to put the money in a trust. Please suggest she check into creating a Special Needs Trust for her son. If she gives the money directly to him, he will probably spend it very quickly, but he could also lose his VA benefits. She will need to consult a lawyer knowledgeable in these matters. -M.

Obituaries GLEN JAKE NOLIN 1938 - 2013 On the evening of Thursday, June 6, 2013, Glen Jake Nolin passed away at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 75 years.
Glen was born in Vanguard, Saskatchewan on March 29, 1938. Glen spent approximately 10 years in work camps as a heavy equipment operator building roads. He came to BC following job opportunities and to be with family. He settled in Golden, BC where he met his wife, Eleanor and started his own family. Glen was a man of many talents and worked in various fields. Over the years, Glen was a bartender, janitor, milkman, school bus driver/union rep. He spent the last 20 years working at the Donald Mill in different positions. Upon retirement, Glen worked hard as a handyman. He never advertised but was always in demand. He was well known for his work ethic and honesty. Glen was well known in the community and spent time volunteering and helping whoever needed a hand. He was very active in the Golden Seniors Centre. He was also active in the Cranbrook Seniors Centre and was instrumental in getting their woodworking shop up and running. Glen also volunteered for the local food bank in Cranbrook. Glen had a great love for the outdoors. He spent much of his spare time hunting, fishing, hiking and camping. He loved to take his wife and children on outdoor adventures and later his grandchildren. Glen leaves loving memories to be cherished by his beloved wife of 49 years, Eleanor and his daughter Ann (Glen Carlson) and grandchildren; Erica Seitz (Scott) and Nolin and their father Ken Hoodicoff. Additionally his daughter Lorna Heisi and her children, Joshua and Matthew who entered his life 10 years ago. Also left behind are his brothers and sisters, Stan (Eileen), Lila (Don), Philip (Liz), Stephanie, Noella, Larry and Leslie (Lisa) and numerous nieces and nephews. Glen was predeceased by his son, Kevin, his sister Etalia Roy, brother Clifford Nolin, brothers-in-law Brian Pakka and John Boltz and his nephews Buster Roy, Chad Nolin and Murray Gilfillan. He was also predeceased by his parents and in-laws Susan and Edward, Antoine and Adelia, Margaret and Paul, Charlie and Evelyn. Glen was a very kind and gentle soul. He had a loving and generous heart, and was always giving to others. He was well known for his quick wit and twinkle in his eye. He will never be forgotten.

Taking Action on Water Quality Teck operates five steelmaking coal mines in the Elk Valley which employ over 4,000 people. We raise our families in the valley, fish and swim in the river and care deeply about ensuring the environment is protected. That’s why we’re taking action to ensure that water quality is protected in the valley now and for generations to come.
The Challenge Mining generates large quantities of leftover rock that contains naturally occurring substances such as selenium. Water from rain and runoff flows through these rock piles and carries selenium and other substances, such as nitrate, into local waters. If present in high enough concentrations in the watershed, those substances can adversely affect aquatic health.
A Strategy to Protect Water Quality Our proposed water quality management strategy includes investing up to $600 million over five years for construction of water treatment plants, research and development, and ongoing monitoring. Our first water treatment plant is already under construction at our Line Creek Operations. This strategy builds on the steps we have taken over the years to address water quality, including studies, construction of water diversions and establishing the Strategic Advisory Panel on Selenium Management.
Fish Health and Human Health Aquatic Health: Monitoring and scientific studies show that selenium is below levels that would affect populations of fish and other sensitive animals and plants in the main stem of the Elk River and the Fording River below Josephine Falls. Monitoring does indicate some localized effects to sensitive insect larvae that live on stream bottoms, mainly in the tributaries closest to mining activities, but overall larval insect communities throughout most of the Elk Valley are healthy and diverse.
Leftover Rock
Creating the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan Together The B.C. Government has created guidelines for development of an Elk Valley Water Quality Plan to address water quality issues. We will consult extensively and work with communities, government, Indigenous Peoples and stakeholders to create this plan. The Elk Valley Water Quality Plan will set target levels for selenium, cadmium, nitrate and sulphate, as well as calcite formation. Water treatment technologies and strategies already developed by Teck will help in the development of the new plan. Timeline for the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan: Spring 2013: Develop terms of reference
2013–2014: Consultation and development of plan
Spring 2014: Submit final plan to province
Throughout: Implement solutions to protect water quality
Human Health: Monitoring indicates that there are elevated levels of selenium in some fish; however, the average selenium level in fish muscle tissue from the Elk River and lower Fording River is below the level of concern for even frequent fish consumers. Selenium levels in municipal drinking water sources in the valley are also below Health Canada and B.C. drinking water guidelines and are not a human health concern.
Get Involved We will be consulting and working with people throughout the region to finalize the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan. To learn more and provide your feedback and suggestions, go to www.teck.com/ElkValley or call 1-855-806-6854.
