New role for former mayor
Scott Manjak has begun a new position as chief of staff at ?aq’am (St. Mary’s Band) SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff
Cranbrook’s former mayor Scott Manjak has taken a position on the opposite side of the gavel. Manjak started work on Tuesday, July 2 as the Chief Operating Officer at ?aq’am (St. Mary’s Band). “As the Chief Operating Officer I am responsible for the day-to-day operations of the St. Mary’s administration and government, and I also work with Chief (Jim) Whitehead and council on council initiatives, very similar to a local government role,” Manjak explained. Since leaving office as Cranbrook’s mayor in November 2011, Scott and his wife Raeleen relocated to Sparwood. Manjak set up a consult-

A local man who fell into Mark Creek and went over Marysville Falls survived the event. On Monday, July 1, Kimberley Search and Rescue performed a highly technical rope rescue to retrieve the man from the river, something that they train for often, but had never before put into practice. Peter Reid from Kimberley Search and Rescue said they received a call about a missing man Monday morning. “He had failed to show up for work and we started a search,” Reid said. Crews walked along the river — which is still running quite quickly — and the man was located sitting on a rock further down the creek. “He slipped into Mark Creek just above the falls, “Reid said. “He managed to ride the falls all the way down into the bottom pool, then float down towards the canyon where he was able to get up on a rock. We had to do a rope rescue to get him out.” Reid said the fact that the man was alive was miraculous. “He shouldn’t have survived — not with the falls running as they are, the log jams and rocks. It’s incredible to survive a ride down the falls.”

ing business, and through this he began to work with the ?aq’am community.
Swiftwater teams from Fernie, Sparwood, Cranbrook and Kimberley worked throughout the day and into the night on Saturday in the Bull River, continuing the search for the missing 20-year-old man from Jaffray. An RCMP dive team joined the search, but was forced to abandon the dive due to strong currents in the river. The Swiftwater teams were able to locate the
vehicle, using metal poles and underwater cameras in fast-moving turbid waters, around 12 feet under the surface. At this stage the pictures are not clear enough to provide any evidence as to whether the man is still in the vehicle. Simon Piney from Fernie SAR explained, “The vehicle is assumed to be that of the Jaffray man as there is no local knowledge of an other vehicle in the Bull River.

Cranbrook announces Habitat for Humanity project A r n e P e t rys h e n Townsman Staff
Cranbrook is embarking on its first Habitat for Humanity building project. A special photo op took place Tuesday to mark the beginning of the partnership. Mayor, councillors and representatives from Habitat for Humanity withstood the scorching midday sun to talk a bit about the project. The building will be constructed in Slaterville at 217 Crestbrook Avenue, an empty lot donated by the City. Mayor Wayne Stetski said it’s exciting to have Habitat for Humanity West Kootenay and the City partnering to build a new home

for a needy family. “The vision to make this happen, which we started less than two years ago, will soon become a reality,” Stetski said. “This truly is a community project that once again demonstrates what a great place Cranbrook is to call home.” Stetski said he has had the opportunity to see what Habitat for Humanity has done in bigger centres and the West Kootenay, and so was happy to see Cranbrook getting involved as well. The project was first brought to Council for consideration in 2012. Gord Johnston, project leader for Habitat for Humanity Adopt-A-Home
Cranbrook, said the local project committee has started the process of building with support and guidance from the Habitat for Humanity West Kootenay board of directors. Johnston said the City of Cranbrook has also been involved and supportive of the project. “What a great start,” Johnston said. “We look forward to more Cranbrook citizens getting involved with this project.” Chuck Henderson, vice chair for Habitat for Humanity West Kootenay, drove in from Nelson to attend. “The local volunteer committee has certainly
demonstrated their determination to complete this project,” Henderson said. “My thanks to both the committee and to the City of Cranbrook for giving us a great jump start.” The vision, mission and values of Habitat for Humanity Canada are delivered by Habitat for Humanity affiliates in over 300 communities across Canada. Affiliates select and prepare partner families for homeownership, manage the construction of Habitat homes, and hold partner family no-interest mortgages. It plays a vital role at the local level by engaging community volunteers, securing resources, increas-

British Columbia didn’t quite live up to pre-Canada Day predictions of all-time record shattering heat, but the sizzling weather fried many local records. Environment Canada listed 15 new heat records set on July 1.
Forecasters predicted the heat wave would smash Canada’s all-time high temperature of 44.4 degrees set in Lytton and Lillooet in 1941, but while Lytton reached a steamy 40.3 degrees on Monday, it didn’t break its alltime high, or even its daily record.

Man survives plunge over Marysville Falls Continued from page 1 Reid says that KSAR has a rope rescue team that trains regularly, but they had never actually had to use it in a rescue before. Rope rigging systems were set up on the canyon walls above the man, Reid said. “One person repelled down and did a quick assessment. He was found to be in fairly good shape. We sent down a second line and a second person, then sent down a stretcher basket and pulled him up the vertical cliff.” Nine Kimberley Search and Rescue personnel and four from Cranbrook were in on the rescue. Normally a rescue like this would go to Fire Rescue, Reid said, but because it started with a search, SAR technicians took care of it. “This is the first high angle, highly technical rope rescue done in Kimberley,” Reid said. Finding the victim alive was very satisfying, given the gruelling few weeks for all area Search and Rescue people. “It’s been an amazingly busy string,” Reid
SPCA, Top Crop holding fundraiser bbq for High River animal shelter Ba rry Co u lt e r
The recent floods in southern Alberta devastated homes and forced widespread evacuations. And perhaps no community was harder hit than High River, just south of Calgary. While the 13,000 residents of High River were forced out, many hundreds of pets were stranded, because of the speed at which the flood waters hit. But the Heaven Can Wait animal shelter located a few kilometres outside High River, is on the job and is assisting with animal rescue efforts. There are hundreds of animals being rescued, rehabilitated and sheltered, and volunteers are working at maximum capacity to reunite the four-legged or winged evacuees with their owners and provide a safe haven. Here in Cranbrook,
the situation in High River is very much on the minds of the BC SPCA and local gardening business Top Crop. The two are joining forces to raise money to help Heaven Can Wait, and to help the animals impacted in the flood-ravaged community. On Saturday, July 6, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. there will be a fundraiser, the East Kootenay BC SPCA Barbeque and Bake Sale, located in the parking lot of Top Crop, Farm & Pet on the strip in Cranbrook. All monies raised benefit the Heaven Can Wait animal shelter. The BC SPCA is known for its famous burgers and hot dogs accompanied with caramelized onions and all the fixings. There will be a wide array of baked goodies for sale, such as cake, cookies and

But this one had a nice outcome.” On a light note, Reid says that while they were performing the rescue, rubber ducks that had escaped the finish line at the annual Food Bank Duck Race
went floating by. “While the team was down there, the ducks were floating by. Maybe we should have rescued them too.” And despite all the searches in the past few weeks, training goes on for the busy team. “Ironically we are training rope rescue today,” Reid said.
Bull River search Continued from page 1
The river is clear and low in July and August normally, so local hunters would know if there was something in there from years ago. Cpl. Pat Prefontaine of Cranbrook RCMP added, “The river has
gone back up as of yesterday probably due to the snow pack melt and high temperatures.” Work continues with SAR and family and friends to search the area while keeping a close eye on water levels.

The position will build on relationships Manjak developed with the community during his time as mayor. “When I was mayor we did quite a bit of work with the St. Mary’s community and council under the previous Chief Cheryl Casimer. We had council-to-council meetings on a quarterly basis with the community,” he said. “During my time in Cranbrook I created some really close friendships in the St. Mary’s community so it’s such a good opportunity to work with folks that I really respect and appreciate.” It will be interesting to see how a local government is run from a different perspective, Manjak went on.

Two people and some dogs got out of the plane before the pilot tried to take off and land at Okotoks. During the attempt, the landing gear clipped a chain-link fence and the plane crashed short of the runway. The 31-year-old pilot suffered undetermined injuries.

“It’s very interesting because you get to see a different side than I have before. In my previous role, mayor and council would make policy decisions and set direction of where we felt the community wanted to go and then it was up to staff to put those practices and policies in place. Now, being responsible for implementation, I have an appreciation of how the decisions were made and what some of the pressures were.

Mounties say two planned to blow up Legislature C anadian Press
VANCOUVER — Two Canadian-born citizens have been arrested and charged in what the RCMP described as an al-Qaida-inspired plot to blow up the British Columbia Legislature on Canada Day. Officials with the force announced the allegations Tuesday, as they displayed photos of alleged pressure-cooker bombs reminiscent of the deadly Boston Marathon bombings. John Stewart Nuttall, born in 1974, and Amanda Marie Korody, born in 1983, were each charged with knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity, making or possessing an explosive device, and conspiracy. They were arrested in Abbotsford on Monday, the RCMP said. Assistant Commissioner Wayne Rideout said the charges involved a “domestic threat’’ to target Canada Day festivities on the grounds of the provincial legislature in Victoria. There were no links to international organizations, said Rideout. “This self-radicalized behaviour was intended to create maximum im-
pact and harm to Canadian citizens at the B.C. legislature on a national holiday,’’ Rideout told a news conference in Surrey, B.C. The RCMP revealed little about the suspects and their background or what may have motivated the alleged conspiracy, other than repeatedly saying the plot was linked to an “al-Qaida ideology.’’ The RCMP said the force has been following the suspects’ activities for months and said investigators ensured the alleged bombs were harmless. Beyond that, the force declined to comment on the specifics of its investigation, such as whether officers had infiltrated the plot. B.C. Premier Christy Clark said she was profoundly shocked by news of the arrests. “But let me say this to those who resort to terror: You will not succeed,’’ Clark told reporters at the legislature in Victoria. “You will not succeed in damaging our democratic institutions. Just as importantly, you will not succeed in tearing down the values that make this country strong.’’

The Quest for a ‘Decent Interval’
H
istory does not exactly repeat itself: the final outcome of the American intervention in Afghanistan will not be the same as the end result in Vietnam. But the negotiations between the United States and its Taliban enemy that are lurching into motion in Qatar as the US prepares to pull out of Afghanstan next year are eerily similar to the “Paris peace talks” that paved the way for the US military withdrawal from South Vietnam in 1973. In his Briefing Notes for a secret 1971 meeting in Beijing with Chinese government officials, Henry Kissinger, national security adviser to US president Richard Nixon, wrote in the margin: “We are ready to withdraw all of our forces [from South Vietnam] by a fixed date and let objective realities shape the political future … We want a decent interval. You have our assurance.” The phrase got out, and it stuck: the whole point of the exercise by 1971, from the US point of view, was to get out of the Vietnamese war without admitting defeat. North Vietnam could collect its victory in the end, but it must allow a “decent interval” to pass so that Washington could distance itself from blame for the ultimate collapse of its local Vietnamese allies. Direct American-Taliban peace talks are now on the menu for much the same reason. The Obama administration realises that the intervention in Afghanistan has been a ghastly failure, but it needs some semblance of success, however transitory, to console the families of the 4,000 American dead in the war, and to save America’s face internationally. Just as in the Vietnam case, the fighting will continue while the diplomats are
talking. Just as in Vietnam, American generals and diplomats must go on claiming in the meantime that victory is in sight. When General John Allen, the last US commander in Afghanistan, handed over to his successor in February, he said what he had to say: “This insurgency will be defeated over time by the legitimate and well trained Afghan forces that are emerging today … This is victory. This is what winning looks like, and we should not shrink from using these words.” But privately, he must know better: American generals are Gwynne rarely stupid. And just as in Vietnam, Dyer the puppet regime in Afghanistan is now panicking as its master prepares to abandon it. South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu, rightly sensing that he was about to be sold down the river, revealed the details of the secret American-North Vietnamese agreement in 1972, hoping to mobilise US Congressional and public opinion against it. Fat chance. Both members of Congress and the public wanted out at any price. So, too, with Afghanistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai is refusing to send representatives to the American-organised talks in Qatar until he has a promise that the Taliban will not be given a share of power. He is also refusing to agree to a continuing US military presence in the country after 2014 until he gets his way. But he will not get his way, and the US will do whatever it wants. Maybe the Taliban will be patient enough to give the US the “decent interval” it wants, believing that they can collect their victory a few years after the American troops have gone home. Or perhaps they will reject anything short of immediate and total victory, knowing that the American troops will leave anyway.
However, the war in Afghanistan is actually a civil war, and they can never win a decisive victory. The Afghan civil war began in 1992, when the puppet government that the Russians left behind when they pulled their troops out the country in 1989 collapsed. The various mujaheddin groups who had fought the Russians went to war with one another for control of the country, and that civil war has continued ever since. Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic country, and the conflict soon resolved into a struggle between the Taliban, the dominant organisation in the Pashtun-populated parts of the country, and the militias of the Northern Alliance, the various smaller ethnic groups in the north of Afghanistan. Since the Pashtuns are almost half the country’s population and had Pakistani support, the Taliban won control of multi-ethnic Kabul and become the country’s “government” in 1996. However, they never conquered the “Northern Alliance” that dominated the Tajik, Hazara and Uzbek provinces in the north. Then, after 9/11, the US invaded and made a de facto alliance with the warlords of the Northern Alliance. This tipped the balance in the war in the other direction, and it’s the northern warlords who have effectively run (or rather, looted) the country for the past decade. Once the US leaves, the balance of power between these two sides will be restored — and the civil war between them will continue on a more equal basis. This is not Vietnam, a homogeneous country with a strong national identity. It is a tribal country whose borders are entirely artificial. Decisive victory in Afghanistan is unattainable for any ethnic group. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London.

Ice eyeing up Bandits put to European talent the test in U.S. for import draft tournament TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice will be participating in the CHL Import Draft for a second straight year when the general managers from across the three major-junior leagues make their selections on Wednesday. Holding the 25th and 85th overall picks, Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth wants to shore up the depth chart by targeting a forward and a defenceman.
“I think we’re a little weak on the back end, with what we graduated last year and the expected retirement of Tanner Muth. Obviously, that’s our pressing need, is to fill a position on the back end.” Jeff Chynoweth With an abundance of centremen on the roster already, Chynoweth hopes to fill a gap up front on the wing, as well as along the blue line— both of which have open spots due to the graduation of overagers in Brock Montgomery and Joey Leach. “I think we’re a little weak on the back end, with what we graduated last year and the expected retirement of Tanner Muth,” said Chynoweth. “Obviously, that’s our
pressing need, is to fill a position on the back end. “And if we can get a winger on the left side, that’s something we’d like to add as well. That’s our wish list, whether that comes to fruition or not, time will tell tomorrow.” Kootenay brought Jakub Prochazka and Petr Vesely into the fold at the import draft last year, however, Vesely didn’t make the cut, while Prochazka hovered between the third and fourth line on the wing. In 56 games with the Ice, Prochazka had three goals and 10 points with 12 penalty minutes. The defensive corps needs attention with the departure of Leach and Muth, who likely won’t return for his final year of WHL eligibility due to his concussion history. That leaves Tanner Faith, Matt Thomas, Jagger Dirk, Landon Peel and Clint Filbrandt, who was acquired earlier in the off-season in a trade with the Tri-City Americans, as the remaining rearguards for the team. Up front, the Ice have lost Montgomery, who played on the wing, and will be looking to address that need through the draft and moving into training camp at the end of August. Due to new rules, clubs are barred from trading up or down in the draft, and the CHL has levied a ban on bringing in European goaltenders after this year.
Bancks gets qualifying offer from Calgary Flames The Calgary Flames have extended qualifying offers to nine players from the club that are hitting restricted free agency, and Marysville native Carter Bancks was one of them. Fellow forwards Mikael Backlund, Lance Bouma, T.J. Brodie, Paul Byron, Greg Nemisz, which skate up front in the forward department also received offers. On the defensive corps, Chris Breen, Chris Butler and Mark Cundari were given qualifying offers as well. Bancks, who has spent the last three season with the Flames’ farm team in Abbotsford, is currently working with his agent and the organization to ink a new contract. Trevor Crawley
TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Bandits stole away with a record of a win and two losses during a trip down to the Land of the Free over the weekend during a tournament in Whitefish. The Bandits played twice on Thursday, going up against the Glacier A team and a squad out of Fort Macleod, and wrapped it up with a contest against Kalispell on Friday.
Though the team is a little disappointed with the two losses, both came at scores of 6-5 that was decided in the final inning, said pitcher Carter McDonald. “I think we were disappointed,” said McDonald, “because both came in the last inning on crucial plays, we both got walked off in
both games, so it was hard to take, but i think just being in games down to the wire like that is more pleasing than being blown out.” Fellow pitcher Ryan Phillips agreed. “We played really solid, both games we lost, we only lost by one run. We weren’t flat any inning, I thought—It was just good close action.” The win came on their second game of the day last Thursday afternoon, when they took on the Royals out of Fort Macleod and won 11-3. “We shut ‘em down on defence and we also had our bats going fairly well too,” said Phillips. “If you looked at how many errors we had over the weekend, we didn’t have too many errors a game, at the most. So we were fielding the ball well in the infield, our flyballs were fielding well too. Our bats could’ve maybe been a little bit better, but I thought they did pretty well—they stuck in the game the entire

the season. “I feel like we all know each other now, know what we’re capable of now and we’re having really good games now,” said Mc-

After upsetting Williams, Lisicki reaches semifinals EDDIE PELLS Associated Press
LONDON - If Sabine Lisicki had a letdown after defeating Serena Williams, it didn’t show. If Lisicki is penciling herself into the Wimbledon final, she isn’t saying. Showing no drop-off after her dramatic victory over Williams, the
23rd-seeded Lisicki returned Tuesday and made quick work of a much less intimidating opponent, 46th-ranked Kaia Kanepi, dispatching her 6-3, 6-3 in 65 minutes to advance to her second career Wimbledon semifinal. “I was ready today,” Lisicki said. “I knew from the past, out of ex-
perience, that I needed to make the switch quickly to be ready, and that’s what I did.” Indeed. Lisicki opened the match by breaking Kanepi’s serve in the first game and didn’t look back in that set. In the second, she had one hiccup - a game in which she double-faulted three times
to drop a break and fall behind 2-1. She broke back right away, however, and won four of the next five games to close out the match. Now, the 23-year-old German finds herself in the Wimbledon semifinals for the second time in three years. Her win against Williams made her the new, odds-on fa-
vourite to win the title and even pushed Britain’s favourite tennis player, Andy Murray, off the back pages of a couple London tabloids. All of which means almost nothing - at least to hear Lisicki tell it. “Match by match,” she said. “Did that from the start and will continue to do that.”
Lecavalier signs, NHL free agency market heats up L ARRY L AGE Associated Press
Vincent Lecavalier, Danny Briere and Ilya Bryzgalov have injected some more intrigue into NHL free agency. So much so, that Lecavalier kicked off the annual signing period Tuesday, three days before it officially began by signing a multiyear contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. The deal reflects the impact the addition of several veterans, who had their contracts bought
out, have made in boosting interest in a free-agent crop that lacked star power a year after Ryan Suter and Zach Parise created a buzz by hitting the market. Lecavalier was able to shop around early because he was bought out. “The depth isn’t what it has been in past year, but there are some very good players available,” Nashville Predators general manager David Poile said in a telephone interview with The
Associated Press on Tuesday. “It’s a different situation, though, with the lower cap so it’ll be interesting to see what this crop of free agents gets both in terms of salary and years.” The NHL’s salary cap will be $64.3 million for the 2013-14 season, a total significantly less than the $70.2 million in contracts teams could have on the books during the lockout-delayed season. Lecavalier became unexpectedly available after the
Tampa Bay Lightning bought out the contract of their 33-yearold captain last week. The Flyers did the same by cutting ties with Briere, a 35-year-old forward, and Bryzgalov, a 33-year-old goaltender. Potential free agents such as forward Mike Ribeiro, who appears to have passed on re-signing with Washington, or other players who weren’t welcomed back, will hit the market Wednesday for the first of a twoday interview period.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your instincts will be right on, but you still might decide to stay mum for a little while. As an observer, you learn a lot more than you realize. Stay open, and enjoy the interactions around you. Deal with a financial issue. You know what to do. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) A conversation with a friend will support your decision to head in a certain direction. You might not always agree with this person, but in the long run, this seems like the best way to go. You finally can clear the air, and you’ll feel better as a result. Tonight: Follow your friends! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Someone needs you. You give 100 percent of yourself in almost any project. How much you choose to share could vary with the moment. You don’t need to spill the beans just yet.

Tonight: Where there is great music. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Listen to what someone shares.
For Better or Worse

Though you might not be in the mood to open up about what you see, a sense of relaxation will take over. Tonight: Visit a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others seem more willing to explain where they are coming from. Do not react immediately to what someone says, but be willing to think over his or her words. You’ll be able to visualize how you might have misread the situation. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Prioritize, and you’ll be able to take care of far more than you thought possible. A younger person has a lot to share. Listen, and you might like what you hear.

Know that
you’re able to light up someone’s life just by relaxing more. Your ingenuity can be a source of fun and pleasure. There is no reason not to reveal your more creative side. Tonight: Hang out with your pals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay close to your home or workplace. Though you usually enjoy an adventure or two, you might need a little more calmness right now. You could hear news that initially surprises you. Later, when you realize the implications, all you can do is smile. Tonight: Invite a friend over. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are likely to say exactly what you mean, but know that someone might surprise you with what he or she hears. Armed with that information, you will know what to do. If you are not on the same page as someone, it might be difficult to prevent squabbles. Tonight: Your treat.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’ve been friends with “Jane” and “Carol” since college. Unfortunately, since her mom died well over a decade ago, Jane has become a hermit. She is distant, and whenever we make plans, she makes an excuse at the very last minute to cancel on us. We’re frustrated. While I can sympathize with her terrible loss, I feel she needs to move on and start living again. She can’t hide in her room forever. Carol and I are not sure how to approach this. We want to be sensitive to Jane’s feelings but at the same time get her to realize that she has friends and family who love her and want to spend time with her. What should we do? -- Frustrated Friends Dear Friends: If Jane has been so severely depressed about her mother’s death for more than a decade, she needs professional help. She is stuck. Tell her you are worried about her, and suggest she look into counseling to help her get her life back on track. She also can find a Motherless Daughters support group through hopeedelman.com. Dear Annie: After 56 years of marriage, our father passed away and left my mother alone for the first time in her life. Four years after Dad died, Mom suffered a bout of meningitis. While she has recovered completely, she is convinced that she is bedridden. I moved back home to take care of her because no one else would. My younger sister lives in the house with us, but does her own thing. The problem is, four other siblings live in the same city, and three are retired. Yet no one helps look after Mom but me. Mom has a sharp tongue, but her memory is shot. Even when she is insulting, she doesn’t remember it. I drive nearly 100 miles a day to and from work. When I get home, I clean the kitchen and make sure Mom has a hot meal while watching TV. I am D.O.T.: disappointed, overwhelmed and tired. My spirit is broken; I don’t spend time with friends; I don’t talk on the phone; I don’t do anything. I worry that I will die of exhaustion and Mom will be alone. My mother, of course, has no sympathy for my situation. I am not the executor of her will or a beneficiary. But I would like to enjoy a few years before my life is over. -- Tired and Miserable Dear Tired: You are kind, compassionate and devoted. But you don’t need to wear yourself out for your mother. That does neither of you any good. Of course, your siblings should step up, but they are not going to do it, so handle this as if you were an only child. Your mother could benefit from day care programs, and you need respite care. Contact the Eldercare Locator (eldercare. gov), AARP (aarp.org), the Family Caregiver Alliance (caregiver.org) and the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) for information and help. Dear Annie: “Trouble in Hubbard” is the executor of her mother’s estate. She is concerned that one grandson has borrowed a great deal of money, and she wants to deduct that amount from his inheritance after Grandma dies. As an executor of an estate (or trustee of a trust), “Trouble” has no choice but to divide and distribute Grandma’s will or trust the way it’s written upon her death. Since debts owed Grandma prior to her death are legitimate assets of the estate, this would require adjusting a beneficiary’s share of distributions. To do otherwise opens the executor or trustee to lawsuits from the other beneficiaries. If it contributes to family strife, “Trouble” should resign in favor of appointing a bank or licensed trust company as executor. -- Kailua, Hawaii Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Legion Branch 24 supports veterans and health care Submit ted
During its recent Client Appreciation Days, members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #24 invited East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s Donna Grainger to come and celebrate. While there, the Legion donated $6,800 to purchase three Roho bed mattresses
and two bed alarms for veterans and other patients residing at the Dr. F. W. Green Home. With this current donation the Royal Canadian Legion #24 has provided over $55,600 in funding for various pieces of medical equipment and patient comforts for the East Kootenay Re-
gional Hospital and the Green Home. The Legion’s mission is to serve all veterans including serving Canadian Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police members, and their families, to promote remembrance and to serve our communities and our country.
CALGARY — Four blockbuster concerts scheduled for Stampede week in Calgary have been scrubbed because of flooding. Stampede organizers say damage to the Saddledome arena has forced the cancellation of shows by Carly Rae Jepsen on July 10, Tim McGraw on July 11, the Dixie Chicks on July 12 and KISS on July 13. Organizers say crews have been working hard to address electrical, water quality and air conditioning issues at the rink, which is home to the NHL’s Calgary Flames. “It became evident yesterday to both the Stampede and the Flames that the services necessary for a proper concert experience for fans and for the artists just weren’t available given the
current status and limitations of the building,’’ organizers said in a news release posted Tuesday on the Stampede website. They say all of the concerts need to be indoors and can’t be moved to a different venue. “Given the size of the four shows, and that they are all intended for indoor setups with tailored effects and lighting, there was no feasible alternative to host any one of the shows at another Calgary venue during Stampede.’’ People are being told to hold onto their tickets — they are still good for free entry to the Stampede and it’s hoped the shows can be rescheduled. The Saddledome was flooded up to Row 8 during the deluge, which ruined everything on the ground floor.
Summit celebrating 40 years in community Submitted
S
ummit Community Services Society is celebrating its 40th anniversary of providing services for children and families in the East Kootenay area. The Society, originally known as the Child Care Society for the East Kootenay, bean operating in the early 1970s and became incorporated under the Societies Act in March 1973. The Society is a registered non-profit organization which operates under the direction of a Board of Directors. Summit Community Services is justifiably proud of its’ history, its’ programs and the very many children, families and individuals it has served over the forty plus years of its’ operation. Summit has employed approximately 2,000 staff in the course of these 40 years of operation and, in addition to the services it has provided, the community has benefitted greatly from the many staff who have gained valuable experience and training with Summit and moved on to other helping agencies and services in the area. Over the years, the Society has had many different programs. In the 1970s, there
were several group homes operated by the Society in Cranbrook, Kimberley and Creston and the Society began providing services under the Special Services to Children Program in Cranbrook and Kimberley, and continued to operate this program for more than 35 years. The Society began providing day care and nursery school services for young children in the early 1980s and then established programs for youth which included a summer community service program, a weekend attendance program and a program for older teens who were living independently but receiving income assistance. In early 1993, the Society established the Cranbrook and Kimberley Family Centres. This was under contract to the Ministry for Children and Family Development and, for the subsequent 18 years, Summit provided counseling, support and intervention programs for families and children. Most of these services were provided not only to clients referred by the Ministry, but were also available to the community at large. The Society ceased serving this contract in 2010. Summit Community Ser-
vices Society is based in Cranbrook, but provides a variety of services in both Cranbrook and Kimberley. Drawing on 30 years of experience in operating day care services, the Society currently operates six child care programs: First Steps (Infant Toddler Care) and Second Steps (30 months to School Age care) Day cares and The Bee Hive (After School Care) in Kimberley and Little Summit Day Care (Infant Toddler and 30 month to School Age care) and The Kids’ Club (Out of School Care) in Cranbrook. The Society provides support and information services to victims of crime. The Victim Witness Program is located in the RCMP Offices in Cranbrook and Kimberley, and takes referrals from RCMP members. Staff assist victims and witnesses of crime with emotional and practical support , information regarding their case status, and Court familiarization and accompaniment. The staff also assist police in other situations such as sudden death notifications and providing follow up support to victims and witnesses of serious accidents. Another service the Society provides for victims is the Community
Based Victim Services program. This specialized program assists victims of sexual and/or spousal assault, and also victims of historical childhood sexual abuse. The Stopping the Violence Program is another program which the Society provides in Cranbrook and Kimberley. This program, funded by the Ministry of Justice, provides counseling and support for women who have experienced relationship violence/ abuse, either currently or in a past relationship. In Kimberley, Summit Community Services operates a number of programs for Seniors. The One Stop Information Program maintains a data base of information about services and resources for Seniors, and is able to respond to requests for such information from the community. Seniors helping Seniors has a wonderful corps of volunteer Seniors who connect with Seniors in the community who may be isolated and appreciate some social contact and occasional practical help with shopping and appointments, helping to enable them to maintain their independence and connection with the community. The Seniors Wellness in Mo-
tion program combines a swim and aqua fitness session with a following social time at the Kimberley Aquatic Centre. This is a popular and well subscribed program and has proven very successful in helping participants to improve their fitness and balance, reduce medical problems and hospitalizations, and enhance mood and outlook through maintaining wellness and positive social contact. Other programs for Seniors in Kimberley include Brain Fitness, volunteer Income Tax Preparation for qualifying Seniors and the Step by Step Walking Program at the Kimberley Sports Centre.
