Koocanusa higher than expected Water is being spilled from Libby Dam to keep the reservoir low, while BC Hydro works to contain debris before it reaches the popular recreation spot S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff

Koocanusa has reached 2,454 feet in elevation, just five feet below full pool, after the heavy rainfall of late June. Information released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers last week said that Koocanusa saw very high inflows during the rainfall event. The reservoir that contains water from the Kootenay River and Elk River before it flows through Libby Dam, Montana, saw 94,000 cubic feet a second of water coming into it on Friday, June 21. By Thursday, June 27, it had dropped to 50,000 cubic feet a second coming in. That is still high: by compari-

son, on Friday, June 7, 36,000 cubic feet a second was coming in. To cope with the massive amount of water reaching the reservoir, engineers maxed out the amount of water going through Libby Dam to 25,000 cubic feet a second. Over the weekend of June 22 to 24, another 3,000 cubic feet a second was spilled over the top of the dam. “Discharge will continue at elevated levels until flows have dropped and we are able to pass inflow,” said the Army Corps’ Adam Price in an operations update. However, the huge amount of water going through Libby

Dam is not causing problems downstream, according to Price. “Kootenay Lake is seasonally low, and the stage at Bonners Ferry is expected to stay several feet below flood stage,” reads the update. Koocanusa was not expected to be as full as 2,454 feet this summer. In May, BC Hydro and the Army Corps said that the reservoir was forecast to reach 2,453 at the end of July, and stay at that level until September. The large volume of water flowing into the reservoir is bringing debris that could hamper recreational users of Koocanusa.

Local naturopaths hoping to get wider access to labs A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff

Dr. Trent Brereton, a naturopathic doctor from Cranbrook, was in Cranbrook City Council last week looking for support to allow naturopathic doctors the ability to prescribe lab work. Dr. Brereton explained that currently naturopathic practitioners have quite a few limitations compared to medical doctors, for instance not being able to visit patients in the hospital and not being able to prescribe lab work. For lab work, a naturopathic doctor

has to get his patient to see a medical doctor. At the hospital, Brereton said, naturopathic doctors have to visit patients as a friend, because of limitations. Brereton said naturopathic doctors serve a different function than medical doctors, in that they practice preventative medicine rather than treatment of conditions. He said that aligns closely with provincial and federal health care policies. “It’s very cost effec-

tive, it’s much more cost effective to treat a person preventatively than to treat a disease once it’s settled in,” he said. “As such, our profession is trying to let folks know this is what we do, and in fact, we have a lot to offer in terms of saving money at the provincial and national level.” In 2010, naturopathic doctors began prescribing naturally derived pharmaceuticals, and he said they’ve had an excellent safety record.

Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more beneficial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies:“liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.” The liquid advantage A liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefits over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefits are the following: • Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not ﬁrst need to be broken down. • Liquids contain no ﬁllers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution. • Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract. • Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing. • Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

Police execute ‘high ‘Sammy’s Song’ makes for musical magic risk take-down’ early Thursday S u b m i tt e d

Townsman Staff

Early in the morning of June 27, Cranbrook RCMP executed a highrisk take down. The arrest took place just after 6 a.m. Police were acting on information from Lacombe Police Service in Alberta, and arrested a man for weapons related offences on Cranbrook Street North at the intersection with Victoria Avenue North. The male was arrested without incident and is in custody pending further direction from

Lacombe Police Service and Red Deer RCMP. The subject from Alberta was alleged to have been involved in a theft of firearms on June 23 in Lacombe. There was intelligence that the subject may have a handgun in his possession, hence the high-risk take down. No firearms were found upon arrest. Agencies in Alberta are continuing their investigation to locate the firearms. Transport back to Alberta to face theft and firearms charges is being arranged.

Police respond to property damage Townsman Staff

Cranbrook RCMP received two reports of property damage early morning on Friday June 28. The damage occurred in the area near Kootenay Street North and Willowbrook Drive. The Kootenay Christian Academy had its window smashed and a nearby residential prop-

erty was damaged as well. Police said a group of males and females were seen hanging around in the area and were reported to be making a lot of noise. Police ask that if you have any information on the incident, to contact Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or Crime Stoppers.

Tourists rescue drunk bridge jumpers after hop into Osoyoos Lake Canadian Press

OSOYOOS, B.C. — Police in B.C.’s southern Interior are crediting a group of tourists for saving a group of drunk swimmers who jumped off a bridge into Osoyoos Lake and were carried away. The RCMP say a 28-year-old Kelowna man, a 28-year-old Kelowna woman and a 24-year-old woman from Grand Forks jumped off the Osoyoos

Bridge just before 2 a.m. on Sunday and were swept out into the lake. Sgt. Kevin Schur says the three drunk swimmers were swept far from shore and could be heard screaming for help in the dark. Four tourists heard the screams and used a private boat and a dingy to reach the trio and keep them afloat until an RCMP rescue boat arrived.

A blend of composition and collaboration led to a rather unique musical event at Gordon Terrace School just prior to the end of the school year. The seed was planted when Sammy Boutin, a Grade 5 student in Mr. Thorn’s class, showed her Music teacher Mr. Dureski a short tune that she had composed on the piano. Mr. Dureski mentioned that her tune would make a good piece for the school band, and the expression on Sammy’s face at that prospect meant that Mr. Dureski had some of his own writing to do. The piece was extended from solo piano to include parts for all the instruments in the band. Drum, guitar, and xylophone parts were added for Sammy’s General Music class, and rehearsals began. Mr. Dureski kept Sammy informed of developments along the way. All came together on June 18 when “Sammy’s Tune” was featured as the finale to the school Music assembly, where three classes worked together to pull off this climax. This is not the end for Sammy’ Tune. She is moving to a different town, and she will get to take beginning Band in her new school. Mr. Dureski told Sammy to have her new Band teacher get in contact with him. The score and parts will be sent out to Sammy’s new school, where hopefully she can perform in Submitted her own piece as a member of Sammy Boutin is pictured at the keyboard during a Gordon Terrace Elementary School music the band next year.” class.

Local NEWS Koocanusa levels higher than expected Continued from page 1

Diane Tammen, BC Hydro’s East Kootenay community relations manager, said that BC Hydro is taking steps to reduce the debris flowing into Koocanusa. “Due to the recent weather events and high water levels there is significant large woody debris which has come down the Elk River. This large debris is being collected behind a boom BC Hydro has recently constructed across the Elk River three kilometres downstream of the (Grasmere)

bridge. The boom and the debris collection pens already in place help keep the debris off of the reservoir. We are in the process of acquiring additional boom sticks to increase storage capacity for collection,” said Tammen. Each year BC Hydro spends about $100,000 on debris removal in Koocanusa. “Since it’s early in the season, we have this year’s funding available. We will continue with the work and assess the situation as the season progresses,” said Tammen.

BC Hydro has installed a boom along the Elk River just south of the Grasmere bridge to catch debris coming down the flooded river before it reaches Koocanusa.

labs, but in 2013, there is still not much progress. “What I’m here asking for costs no money whatsoever, we’re just looking for broader access to existing facilities,” he said. “Currently, people who come and see me and require diagnostic work, I either have to refer them to drive up to Kimberley to have their blood drawn or I draw their blood locally and send it to Alberta.” He said sometimes he even has to send it across to the states to have it looked at. “None of this can be done using local facilities.” Even the lab at Kimberley has to send it to Alberta. He also said that even if naturopaths had access to labs, there would be no cost to the province, because patients would pay out of pocket or through extended coverage for the lab work. Naturopathic doctors also can’t refer directly to specialists at the moment.

Calling All Photographers Cranbrook Fire Services is putting together a local calendar to raise funds and awareness for the Burn Fund. We are looking for local photos of local landscapes to include in this comprehensive 16 month calendar. This calendar will include SD#5 and SD#6 school calendar, Kootenay Ice and Dynamiter Home Game schedule and all great local events we love to attend.

“I do recognize that council and your worship does not have the power to change health care policy,” Brereton said. “I’m here to increase awareness. I’m here to acknowledge that the naturopathic profession has a significant impact on the community. We provide a lot of employment within our clinics. It allows for more streamlined access and patient care and it reduces cost on our local systems.” Coun. Bob Whetham wondered where the greatest resistance was coming from to the procedures Brereton was describing. Brereton said he couldn’t be sure. “I think there’s a willingness at the provincial level, but there’s such a potent lobby within the College of Physicians and Surgeons, I think that is probably the stopgap,” he said. Brereton was hoping for a letter from council stating its position, whatever it may be to the government.

Whetham suggested that the Union of B.C. Municipalities would probably be the best place to put a motion forward on the matter. “I think the place that would be the most influential would be the UBCM, if it hasn’t already gone forward as a motion, it’s something that might be looked at, because it would be a problem being faced right across the province,” Whetham said. B.C. is at the forefront of the naturopathic doctor movement in Canada, with 500 practicing in the province, five of which are in the East Kootenay. Naturopathic doctors are trained through a seven to eight year process that includes pre-medical undergraduate training, followed by a four year naturopathic training at an accredited school in North America. He said in the past few years they have seen a doubling of patients coming to see naturopathic doctors.

Opinion/Events

I had occasion this past school year to tutor a student twice weekly and we met regularly at the Cranbrook Public Library to conduct our lessons. I’ve always appreciated the library facility and staff since arriving in our city a couple of decades ago. However, being at our library each week for six to eight hours for the last nine months, I’ve recognized what a valuable resource this facility is to our community. Our library is used by a wide cross section of people in our community, I’ve seen teens enjoying their designated space, kids coming with parents and grandparents for story time, seniors passing time checking out magazines and newspapers, and all ages accessing the computers. The volume of people using the library daily is amazing and not recognized unless one is there on a continual basis to see the flow of traffic. Hats off to the Cranbrook Public Library staff that are so helpful, professional and accommodating. The Friends of the Cranbrook Public Library often are working in the background helping raise funds and support projects to make our library an even better facility. I would encourage our City Council to continue to support our library and work with the staff and Friends however possible. Peace Gerry Sobie

St. Mary Lake I find it very interesting with all the flood coverage there was no mention of St. Mary Lake. The morning of June 20 I woke up at 5:30 with water 20 feet from my basement door. My husband was away working but luckily my son Matthew was in Kimberley and came to my rescue. We had sandbags left over from last year which bought us some time. I knew that this was different than other years because of how quick the lake was rising. We ran out of bags but had sand so it

Correction A story in Thursday’s Daily Townsman — “Council parses cost of fountain” — reported that the cost of the fire hall fountain was $55,000. In fact, the cost of the fountain is $50,000, not $55,000. The Townsman regrets the misinformation.

was then that I contacted the RDEK who directed me to the City of Kimberley to get more bags. I also called on my valley neighbours who I will forever be grateful for — Barry and Greta Garland, Stan Yawney and Dan Carlson. Without their help our situation would certainly have been worse. With a call for help onbFacebook people showed up throughout the day to do what they could. While I was in Kimberley getting the sand bags the water reached the house and was going in my basement. To make a long story short, we sandbagged and pumped water for 24 hours. A couple of my neighbours were also affected by this flood. I am a disheartened by the lack of follow up from the RDEK and no mention of it in any of the updates. This experience has given me a greater respect for the lake and its power. I am overwhelmed by the kindness of neighbours and friends who helped us during this flood. I now know that we have to fend for ourselves in the valley. We are a small neighbourhood but that didn’t make it any less traumatic! Flood plans are already in place for next year. Hopefully, we won’t have ton implement them. As my husband would say, “Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and notnm have it”. Wendy Nowicki

Park On Us The United Way of Cranbrook and Kimberley is celebrating its 11th annual Park-On-Us Campaign this year on Lucky Friday, September 13. This one-day event is a success every year thanks to the support of the City of Cranbrook and participating businesses and organizations. Our United Way would appreciate your participation in making this a notable year for this campaign. This is how it works: businesses and organizations purchase the use of parking meters for $25 each for the day. The United Way provides colourful signage which volunteers place over the parking meters by 7 a.m. on Park-On-Us Day. The sign

KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

reads: “Park on Us with United Way, Courtesy of the City of Cranbrook and Your Business Name”. Park-On-Us Day provides all-day advertising for your business, recognition of the City’s support and awareness for the United Way. We hope that every business and organization will purchase at least one meter for the day, so that on September 13 our citizens and visitors are able to park downtown free of charge. This campaign has the potential to raise over $10,000 for our community. Last year, we sold 237 parking meters, down from our record year in 2008, when 321 meters were sold. This year, our goal is to sell 300 meters, and, combined with other fun fundraising activities on Park-On-Us Day, raise $8,000. We can only do it with your help. Cranbrook’s citizens and visitors appreciate this free-parking campaign every year. It is a practical form of customer appreciation, welcoming people to our town and encouraging them to shop. It also shows strong community spirit. This is a great way for you, your staff, business and organizations to support our local United Way, while enhancing our community image with local and visiting customers. In order to make certain that you are assigned the meters directly in front of your business or your preferred area downtown, please make your commitment today. We encourage businesses to hold BBQs, sidewalk sales, or other fun activities, with a portion of the proceeds to United Way. Let’s have some fun on our upcoming “Park-On-Us” Day. A great day for customer appreciation. What to do if, after your canvasser leaves, you want more meters? Çall the United Way office at 250-426-8833 to arrange for additional meters. Deadline is Wednesday, September 11. Thank you for your support of the United Way! Remember that every dollar raised here, stays here! Donna Brady Fields, Executive Director

Clark resumes Campbell arrogance Call it the Beach Blanket Budget. Despite having to campaign once again to win a seat in a byelection, Premier Christy Clark has ordered the legislature to sit without her through most of July to pass the budget that was tabled before the election. This rare summer session ensures a couple of things. First, there will be less time for real financial results to contradict the rosy predictions made by Finance Minister Mike de Jong in February. Second, it ensures that there will be minimum public attention paid to the deliberations, as people focus on their summer vacations and put the business of running the province aside again. B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong insists there has been no decision made on whether the legislature will sit again in the fall. The standard schedule, put in place under former premier Gordon Campbell, calls for MLAs to assemble in October and November, to consider legislation, after a spring devoted to the budget and ministry spending. This was a serious reform that went along with four-year scheduled elections. But Campbell soon abandoned this noble approach, with fall sessions dwindling to a few days to deal with urgent issues or disappearing altogether.

I expected Clark to reverse that after she led the party to victory in May and consigned the Campbell era to the history books. Open, accountable government and all that. So why the summer session? I’m inclined to agree with NDP house leader John Horgan, who meets privately with de Jong in his role of government house leader to thrash out schedules. Here’s HorBC VIEWS gan’s message to Clark and her government as he Tom emerged from the latest Fletcher meeting: “You ran on a platform that you claimed you were ready to implement. And what we’re getting instead is, ‘let’s jam ’em in here while the media’s on holidays, while people are at the beach thinking about other things. We’ll pass our bogus budget and then we’ll see you in February’.” Is the budget accurate, or “bogus,” or somewhere in between? They’re always projections, so that can’t be determined until next year. But the proposal to keep the increase in overall spending to less than two per cent, with nearly all the increase going to health and education, is difficult to accept. During his time, Campbell topped the Fraser Institute’s ranking of most fiscally responsible premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4 per cent. During those same

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

years, average provincial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, meaning that under the supposedly tight-fisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government continued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domestic product. Clark has indicated several times since her surprise election win that she intends to make government smaller. That’s the difference between her “core review” of government programs and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate. This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more significant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors. That in itself may slightly increases the size of government. But it could be a preliminary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales. You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loudest opposition MLAs. This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

SPORTS BRIEFS QMJHL star MacKinnon goes 1st overall at NHL Draft NEWARK, N.J. - The Colorado Avalanche have taken centre Nathan MacKinnon with the first pick of the 2013 NHL draft. The Avs, who won the draft lottery over the Florida Panthers, were true to their word Sunday at the Prudential Center. They had said they would pick MacKinnon over defenceman Seth Jones. Jones, ranked No. 1 among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, has ties to Colorado. He took up hockey as a kid there while his father, Popeye Jones, was playing for the NBA’s Denver Nuggets. Colorado said it liked Jones, but wanted to draft a forward. The six-foot, 182-pound MacKinnon, who does not turn 18 until Sept. 1, led the Mooseheads to the Memorial Cup. He topped the tournament in scoring with 13 points (seven goals and six assists), including a hat trick in the championship game, and was chosen tournament MVP. Canadian Press

Stampeders beat Lions 44-32 to open CFL season CALGARY - Joe West caught two touchdown passes and Jon Cornish ran for two more as the Calgary Stampeders opened the 2013 CFL season with a 44-32 win over the visiting B.C. Lions on Friday. Cornish, who pledged to donate $10 for every yard he gained in the game to the Canadian Red Cross for the flood relief efforts in Southern Alberta, finished with 172 yards rushing and 20 more through the air. Maurice Price also had a touchdown catch for the Stamps (1-0), while Rene Paredes kicked a pair of field goals. Quarterback Drew Tate completed 19of-27 passes for 237 yards and three touchdowns. B.C. quarterback Travis Lulay threw three touchdown passes to Emmanuel Arceneaux, Courtney Taylor and Shawn Gore. Cord Parks also returned an interception for a touchdown for the Lions (0-1), while Tim O’Neill kicked a field goal and a single. Canadian Press

Blue Jays pounce on Tigers for an 8-3 Canada Day win TORONTO - Mark DeRosa hit a three-run homer and Jose Reyes added a solo blast as the Toronto Blue Jays romped past the Detroit Tigers 8-3 on Monday. DeRosa’s homer in the fourth inning put Toronto (41-41) ahead by six runs during a festive Canada Day game at Rogers Centre. Blue Jays knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (8-8), following up on his best outing of the season last week, was again solid against Detroit’s intimidating batting order. He allowed two earned runs on six hits with four strikeouts through seven innings. He was relieved by Steve Delabar, who struck out Torii Hunter, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder in the eighth inning before Aaron Loup finished the game for Toronto in the ninth. Fielder hit a solo homer off Dickey and Omar Infante went deep in the ninth for the American League Central-leading Tigers (43-38), who now have just one win in their last seven games. Tigers rookie left-hander Jose Alvarez (1-2), making his fourth start of the season, lasted just three innings after giving up five runs, four earned, and walking three with four strikeouts.

2013 NHL DRAFT

Betker, Skapski drafted by NHL teams Local defenceman selected by Oilers while Kootenay Ice goaltender heads to the Big Apple TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The NHL Draft on Sunday included a little bit of local flavour as NHL general managers made their selections from the podium at Prudential Centre in New Jersey. Local defenceman Ben Betker, who patrols the blue line for the Everett Silvertips, was selected 158th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the sixth round. A few picks later, Kootenay Ice netminder Mackenzie Skapski was chosen by the New York Rangers at 170th overall.

Ben Betker Betker, 18, ended the WHL season ranked as the 147th North American skater on the NHL’s Central Scouting list, and had the feeling that he might go earlier. Despite his disappointment at waiting later than he did, he’s glad he heard his name get called. “I got ranked inside the fifth round and when the fifth round ended, I was like, ‘Oh, crap,’ “...But I was pumped to get drafted by a Canadian team.” Betker had garnered interest from a few teams, but met with a scout from the Oilers after a game in Everett last season.

“After I got drafted, my phone was literally ringing off the hook with a couple guys from their player development and my agent, so it was a pretty cool feeling.” Betker was a part of an four-player off-season swap last summer, as the Winterhawks acquired the rights to Seth Jones, which were owned by the Everett Silvertips. Jones, who was projected to go first overall, ended up going fourth to the Nashville Predators during the draft. In 68 games last season, Betker scored a goal and notched five assists. He is a big body at 6’ 5” and uses his 200pound frame to punish the opposition in the defensive zone. “Towards the last half of the year, I really picked up my physical play. I fought quite a bit more, I think I ended the season with about ten fights,” said Betker. “I have a great stick and I really take care of my own end—first and foremost—and that’s what teams want to see from a guy with my size.” If it’s anyone Betker wants to model his playing style after, it would be Shea Weber, the captain of the Nashville Predators. “He takes care of his own end, he’s an absolute jerk to play against and he has offensive upside with that powerful shot, and that’s something I work on all the time, is my shot,” Betker said. He is training with

Kootenay Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski was drafted 170th overall in the sixth round by the New York Rangers in the NHL Draft on Sunday. Don Munro at Cranbrook CrossFit for the summer and will be heading up to Edmonton this week to attend a prospect development camp. He isn’t expecting an immediate jump into the NHL, and will suit up with the Silvertips next season. “It’s just to get my foot in the door right now,” he said. As of press time, Skapski had already jumped a plane heading to New York to attend their prospect development camp for the week. Skapski was the 17th

ranked North American goaltender on the NHL’s Central Scouting list this season, but was passed over in his first year of eligibility last season. Despite that, he got some interest and phone calls, and attended a rookie camp with the Minnesota Wild. Over the past two summers, he has also attended a goaltending camp with Hockey Canada through their Program of Excellence. Skapski suited up for 65 games with the Ice this past season, accumulating a 2.78 goals against average and a 0.910 save percentage.

NOTES: Kootenay Ice captain Sam Reinhart was invited to a summer camp for the U20 national junior team last Friday. The summer camp includes 35 players and will be used as a tool for players to prove themselves to earn a spot on the final roster, which is unveiled in December. Sam’s older brother, Griffin, who skates with the Edmonton Oil Kings and played in the U20 tournament last year, was also invited. Of the 35 players named to the sumer camp, 13 are playing for teams in the WHL.

Canucks make a deal with the Devils STEPHEN WHYNO Canadian Press

NEWARK, N.J. - The Vancouver Canucks have solved their goaltender drama, but not in the way most people expected. The Canucks traded Cory Schneider to the New Jersey Devils for the ninth pick in the

NHL draft, leaving Roberto Luongo as the starting goalie. “Today’s decision was made after a thorough review of our options and in the interest of improving this team long-term through the draft and development of players,” general manager Mike Gillis

said in a statement. “We appreciate the high level of professionalism and conduct both Cory and Roberto have shown while continuing to help this team be competitive. I would like to personally thank Cory for his contributions to our team and wish him the very best and a bright

future.” Gillis said he “had to listen” to offers on Schneider. The one he took got the Canucks London Knights forward Bo Horvat at No. 9. Horvat, an 18-yearold centre, played the past two seasons for the Knights of the Ontario Hockey League. He had

33 goals and 28 assists in 2012-13. When the trade was announced, Horvat was surprised, like everyone else in Prudential Center. He had no idea the Canucks were going to take him. “Anything can happen on draft day,” Horvat said.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have a lifelong friend who, over the past 10 years, has gotten so steeped in her church that she has become unbearable. She tells me constantly (bragging is more like it) about how her God has blessed her and her family with their new house, all her lovely grandchildren, and getting her together with her current husband (they met online after two divorces). She says she has received everything she has prayed for and goes on about what an amazing job God has done for her family. I mean, it’s getting hard to listen to. I don’t want to sound sour, but my circumstances are vastly different, and she knows it. I lost my husband to homicide, and my son passed away at a young age. It seems everything in my life has been an ice-cream cone in the dirt. After one too many losses, I figured there was no God and have given up on religion. I can’t help but be jealous of her good fortune, yet I always reply by saying how happy I am for her. Still, it seems as if she is trying to rub my nose in it. I keep my mouth shut as she goes on and on about how God is blessing her daily. Do you have any ideas short of scrapping the 60-year-old friendship? -Friendship Woes Dear Friendship: You might remind her that “the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.” She has every reason to be grateful for her blessings, but shoving them in your face is ungracious and shows a lack of consideration for your circumstances. Perhaps this is her misguided attempt to bring you into her religious circle, but it is not working. Tell her gently that you are certain she doesn’t intend to hurt you by constantly boasting about her blessings, but you would appreciate it if she would stop before it becomes too much to bear. Dear Annie: My only child just graduated high school. Her summer is full of parties, working and having fun with her friends. This includes staying out later on weekday evenings. As the only parent, I work full time and need to be in bed by a decent time. I don’t want to be awakened by her coming home or, worse, worrying about whether she’s OK. She’s a great girl with a good head on her shoulders. But as a widow, I know firsthand that bad things can happen to the people you love. How do I deal with this new wrinkle as my daughter teeters on the brink of adulthood? She still needs rules and guidance. I don’t want to be overprotective. Is there a compromise that will put my mind at ease and let her enjoy her summer? -- Mom Dear Mom: You are smart to anticipate these problems and understand the pitfalls. First, if your daughter has a job, she, too, needs to get some rest. Discuss this with her. Explain the problem from your perspective, and let her weigh in. Work out a “contract,” in which she agrees to respond promptly to your calls or texts and to call if she cannot get home safely, and you agree to pick her up, etc. But you cannot protect her from everything, Mom, and in the near future, you will have no control over it anyway. It will help if you train yourself in the difficult task of letting go. Dear Annie: Your reply to “Need Help in California” was right on. My cousin has been married to her first cousin for more than 50 years. They have raised four healthy, intelligent kids who have subsequently given birth to healthy, intelligent grandkids. Our extended family may have fretted a bit at first, but we loved them and noticed immediately that they were a great match. They still are. -- California Cousin Now in Hawaii Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

NEWS birdwatching with the rocky mountain naturalists

Use your ears to help observe warblers Daryl Calder

Inquisitive naturalists sharpened their songbird identification skills at a short workshop and field adventure recently. The warbler family has more than 380 species which live mostly in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia. The East Kootenay enjoys the occurrence of about 14 species of the colourful little guys during the breeding season. These small, active songbirds spend the winter in tropical Central

America and Mexico, then fly thousands of kilometers north, some as far as the Mackenzie River Delta. Their sharp, pointed bills are ideal for probing insect prey, although some species also catch insects by aerial pursuit. The East Kootenay riparian zones with mixed forests and brushy understorey provide ample protective shelter, food and nesting materials to ensure breeding success. The trouble with war-

blers, however, is that they are tough to see. Even then, they look so much alike. Peering up into the dappled light, partially obscured by quaking aspen leaves and dead twigs, it’s challenging to pick out a restlessly foraging bird weighing one third of an ounce. Birders can be sure of one thing; before long, you’ll be complaining about a bad case of “warbler neck.” There is a good way to identify our feathered

friends; using our fine sense of hearing to group them into several categories based on the qualities of their song and call. Staccato, Staccato/Rolling Chatter, Chatter and Trill and Squeaky Wheel. Further detailing such as raising or falling in pitch, accelerating or decelerating, soft or hard, thin or emphatic can narrow the possibilities. It’s not difficult to discern a few of the more common warblers found locally — Yellow Warbler,

These birds prefer certain elevations within the canopy and a particular proximity to water; therefore we can piece together the puzzle without the benefit of a full view. When the little birds show themselves unexpectedly, we are cheered by the experience. A short drive west to Twin Lakes on the way to Lumberton, provided a

Bull River Shooters host local Scout troop Br adley Woods

The Bull River Shooters Association was pleased to host members of the 4th Cranbrook Scouts on Monday June, 17. Leaders Ryan Comishin, Kim McBride, Cara McBride and Dad Shawn Brown brought 10 eager and inquisitive scouts to try their hands at shooting the smallbore silhouette targets. Six club members shared time, knowledge and firearms with this very polite and well behaved group. We were impressed with their questions and attention to safety. We’d like to thank the leaders for

responding to the Troup’s request for an opportunity to try shooting… we are always happy to introduce new shooters to our sport, especially youth! In other BRSA news, the Association held a club Match Saturday, June 22, which was once again well attended. This was a .22 cal match and results follow: Silhouette Rifle Match Winner: Rob McKeeman AAA: Jeramey Marsh AA: Trudy Phillips A: Gary Phillips

Hunter Rifle Match Winner: Rob McKeeman AAA: Jeramey Marsh AA: Trudy Phillips A: Deni Marsh For memberships and information about the BRSA please contact Rob McKeeman at 250-426-2794. Memberships can also be purchased at any club match. Anyone is welcome to enter a club match and spectators are always welcome! We look forward to seeing you at the range. Our next match is July 27… check it out!

American Redstart fine example of preferred habitat for warblers. Within minutes, we “observed” six warbler and over 20 other species. Even the novices in our group were able to get the binoculars focussed on the ‘right spot’ quickly and enjoy the antics of the foraging birds. Three varieties of Vireo also liked the area. A boldly patterned warbler of second growth woods, the American Redstart frequently flashes it’s orange and black wings and tail to flush insect prey from foliage. The male occasionally is polygynous, having two mates at the same time. Unlike many other polygynous species of birds that have two females nesting in the same territory, the redstart holds two separate territories up to 500 metres apart. The male starts to attract a second female after the first has completed her clutch and is incubating the eggs. The nest is a tightly woven cup fitted into branches or fork in tree or shrub. It is skilfully made of grasses, bark strips, hair, leaves, twigs or mosses and glued together with spider silk. The redstart moves rapidly while foraging; the flashing colour startles insect prey. This bird sometimes catches flying insects and eats small fruits. Despite declines seen in some areas, the American Redstart is widespread, abundant and a luxury to see. At Elizabeth Lake this week, many fresh, young birds can be observed. Pied-billed Grebe, American Coot, Killdeer and Song Sparrow seek sheltered areas while Wigeon and Mallard ducklings are often unsupervised on open water. Northern Flickers poke out of tree cavities, Tree Swallows circle with the others and Canada Geese form long

lines in the water. Join Rocky Mountain Naturalists on Tuesday mornings in early July to explore the Nature Preserve. Bring binoculars, a guide book, warm clothing and your curiosity to the Visitor Centre at 7 a.m. Experienced birders will attempt to solve the Animal, Vegetable and Mineral puzzles with your help.
