James Elliott declares for Cranbrook Council Longtime City employee to run in 2014 municipal election BARRY COULTER
A longtime City of Cranbrook worker has announced his intention of seeking a seat on Cranbrook City Council, in the upcoming municipal election this November. James Elliott worked with the City of Cranbrook for more than 30 years, serving in every department, he said. He currently sits on the City’s Environmental and Utilities Committee. He’s now looking to take that next step, upwards into governance, and is the first to publicly throw his hat into the ring for Council this year.
“Since I moved back from the regional district to Cranbrook, it’s come to my attention that there are real major issues,” Elliott said. “The direction Council is taking currently is almost backwards. “Being involved with the City for so many years, I’m aware of the grassroots system we should be following.” Elliott feels the City of Cranbrook should be more focused on smaller details, on day-to-day details that help the quality of life for Cranbrook’s residents.

The rock event of the year is upcoming this weekend at the Kimberley Civic Arena, as Canadian rock bands Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason are set to take the stage Saturday at Kimberley’s annual JulyFest celebration. Gordie Johnson of Big Sugar, pictured above, spoke to the Townsman last week about the upcoming show and other hard rock matters. See more on Page 4.
Cranbrook will host a Canadian first this November. The first Gifts That Give Hope alternative gift giving fair was announced on Friday, July 11, and will be held on Saturday, November 15 at Western Financial Place. It’s an initiative by the Cranbrook and District Community Foundation and Children First with support from Jim Pattison Broadcast Group. A U.S. idea that has never been held in Canada before, Gifts That Give Hope fairs are typically held in public venues. Christmas shoppers meet and learn about non-profit organizations, make a donation to a cause of their choice in honour of a friend or loved one, and receive an attractive card with a description of their
charitable donation. “The Gifts that Give Hope Fair is a fun way to bypass the annual stress of holiday shopping and accumulation of ‘stuff’ while honouring friends and relatives with donations to causes that fit their values,” said Patricia Whalen, Children First Manager. “What’s more, the fair provides critical support for a diverse collection of community organizations whose work has local and regional reach.” Gifts That Give Hope fairs give shoppers the opportunity to choose meaningful gifts for people on their gift list, while helping others who are not on anyone’s gift list. Any local non-profit can now apply to take part in the fair, as long as they fill a need in Cranbrook.

In the Cranbrook and Kimberley area, the forecast for the week shows temperatures hitting a high of 34 degrees Wednesday. Rainy periods are forecast for Thursday, July 17, and for Friday, July 18. Weekend temperatures are forecast to be in the mid-20s, according to both the Weather Network and Environment Canada. Normal temperatures for July 13 are a high of 27 degrees and a low of nine degrees. Sunday, July 13, 2014, saw temperatures of 34 degrees and 12 degrees at night. The record high for Sunday, July 13, was 36 degrees, set in 2002. The record low was 4 degrees, set in 1993. the province,’’ she said. Smoke from a fire burning in Banff National Park, in Alberta is drifting into the Kootenays, she said. Environment Canada said temperatures are expected to hit record highs in parts of the province this weekend. David Wray, a meteorologist with the agency, said temperatures in the southern half of the province appear to be 10 to 11 C above normal for the time of year.
Wray said it is 8 to 10 C above normal for the northern half of B.C. where temperatures will likely break records next week. Temperatures are averaging at 30 C or more provincewide. Wray said it is important to wear sunscreen this weekend because it will only take about 15 minutes for skin to get burned. He said children or pets should not be left in cars, and people should drink plenty of water.

Infrastructure, for example. “Has the City looked at resurfacing some of the streets that do not need the infrastructure repaired?” he asked. “Wouldn’t it be practical to have a resurfacing program, do as many blocks as you can without having to dig up infrastructure? “11th Avenue, for example, has not had to be dug up for a fix for as long as I can remember. “We all know it has to be done. But the City is looking long term at some of that areas that don’t have any prior history.” Elliott feels the cost of maintaining the amount of Cranbrook’s greenspace should be examined. “We’ve got all this greenspace that nobody’s using — Pop

Families can explore the art of giving together by visiting the many booths. At the central check-out is where all donations are processed and gift cards for your special someone are assembled.

New post office location for Wasa Highlights from the Regional District of East Kootenay July board meeting F o r t h e To w n s m a n
Wasa’s post office is about to move. The adoption of Bylaw 2527 was authorized by the board. The bylaw will allow for relocation of the Wasa Post Office to a property on Wasa Lake Park Drive. Cranbrook Council invited to meet with the board Mayor Stetski and Cranbrook City Council will be invited to attend an upcoming RDEK Committee meeting to discuss the establishment of a joint Recreation Committee. Meetings with Ministers during UBCM RDEK Directors are hoping to meet with a number of Ministers during the upcoming Union of BC Municipalities Convention. The following meetings will be requested: • Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development (to express thanks for the Minister’s support for the West
Fernie Servicing & Restructure Project) • Minister of Environment (MMBC recycling and Columbia Lake Park) • Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (Windermere Creek) • Minister of Health (Invermere Heliport—helicopters not meeting standards) • Minister of Agriculture (ALR Policy) Community Works Fund agreement signed The RDEK has signed the Community Works Fund Agreement with the Union of BC Municipalities for the period April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2024. The new agreement includes an increased range of eligible projects, such as sport infrastructure, recreational infrastructure, cultural infrastructure, tourism infrastructure disaster mitigation and broadband connectivity. There
is also a broadening of qualified projects within most existing project categories. ALR delegated decision The Board considered an application for a non-farm use in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) to permit a secondary suite in a detached garage in the Cokato area. The application was approved by the Board under the Electoral Area A Delegation Agreement.

Price Park, Pinecrest Park, the Victoria soccer pitches — but we maintain it. And the City’s thinking of creating more greenspace.” Elliott also has concerns with staffing levels at City Hall, and the procurement of City equipment. “There are too many pickup trucks and not enough snowplows,” he said. This last is a key point with Elliott. “They’re plowing the arterial streets, but not the side streets or the sidewalks. “I do a lot of work for seniors, shovelling snow and such. Last winter, I watched an elderly woman get off the sidewalk to walk on the street, because she couldn’t walk on the sidewalk — too much ice. And she fell. That’s
when I made my decision (to run for Council). The City has to do the little things, for the quality of life of the people, especially seniors. I hear it every day.” Elliott is asked what he would bring to the table, if elected to City Council. “Accountability, period,” he said. “I say straight up, you can’t go make a $20 order with $10 in your pocket. That’s what this Council does over and over. They follow wish lists, not budgets.” The municipal elections in Cranbrook and British Columbia take place Saturday, November 15, 2014. The Townsman will feature each candidate in this space as that candidate announces he or she is running.
A reminder: RVs and trailers should be parked off street Townsman Staff
The city is asking residents and travellers with RVs and other large recreation vehicles, like boats, campers and trailers to find off-street storage for them when not in use. The city does have a bylaw, the Streets and Traffic Bylaw, which regulates on street parking of recreation vehicles and unattached trailers, doesn’t allow for RVs to be parked on residential street between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. It also prohibits the parking of unattached trailers on any street at any time, unless it is an emergency situation.

RVs and trailers should be parked off of city streets. “The bylaw applies to travel trailers, tent trailers, utility trailers, campers, motor homes as well as boats and boats on trailers,” Zettel wrote. “The intent of the regulation is to keep City streets safe and accessible for vehicular and pedestrian use.” He said that, on a regular basis, city bylaw services staff hear complaints relating to trailers blocking driveways and taking up limited street parking for long periods of time.

Sugar, back in the mid90s. They’re like our baby brothers. We’ve always been very close, these two bands.” The synergy between Big and Wide is only increased by the fact that Johnson is currently serving as Wide Mouth Mason’s bass player, and has done so for the past several years. He was last seen here with Shaun Verreault (lead Vocals, guitar), Safwan Javed (drums), playing bass as they opened for legendary Texas rockers ZZ Top in Cranbrook. “Their original bass player left the band, and they were kind of in the lurch because they had been offered the ZZ Top tour. I know Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top’s founder, guitarist and vocalist) quite well — and I thought, ‘Man, what a great opportunity for you guys, I’d hate to see you miss it. I’ll try to think of a bass player who can fill in for you.’ And they were like, ‘Uhhh, well, what about you?’ That sounded like a nice way to spend the summer, so I filled in with them for a while, but now it’s been four years! I think I might stick around for a bit.” So in Kimberley, Johnson will hit the stage with Wide Mouth Mason, play that show, switch immediately to

The East Kootenay’s rock event of the summer is taking place this weekend approaching, as two top Canadian rock bands — Wide Mouth Mason and Big Sugar — take the stage Saturday, July 19, at the Kimberley Civic Arena as part of JulyFest celebrations. Expect it loud. Expect to be transported. Big Sugar, formed by singer, guitar player and producer Gordie Johnson in the late 1980s, are renowned for their heavy blues-rock-reggae stylings, Johnson’s mindbending guitar work, and high volume, marathon concerts. Wide Mouth Mason
six-string and perform another high octane set with Big Sugar. Does one work a sweat that way? “It’s pretty natural for me,” Johnson said. “That’s what I do — I play music. For anybody else that might seem excessive or exhausting, but that’s just what I do. It’s the other 20 hours of the day that are exhausting. “When I’m on bass, that’s where I’m supposed to be, that’s where everything feels just about right.” In other Big Sugar new, the band has a new album out — “Yard Style.” “It’s our first all acoustic record,” Johnson said. “There’s about a dozen of us, guys who’ve been in and out of Big Sugar over the years, and other collaborators that we’ve worked with. Songwriters like the guys in the Trews, Meredith Shaw, the Rastas that have been a big influence on us in Toronto. “All these people in one room, and without really being too aware of the recording process, we just played and sang live. We sat in a circle and recorded about 20 songs, and narrowed it down to the ones that are on the album. But it was a very informal get together, just singing and playing. It was pretty magical recording it, and think it really comes through on that record.” Big Sugar and Wide Mouth Mason play Kimberley’s Civic Arena Saturday, July 19.

Laboratory Services
In light of some recent questions, I wanted to clarify the status of Interior Health outpatient (drop-in) laboratory services in Cranbrook. When Interior Health was informed that our lease at the Green Clinic would be terminated July 25, we immediately began looking at the best way to provide good access to laboratory services in the long-term. We are currently working on an agreement to establish an appropriate location to bring all Cranbrook out-patient laboratory services under one roof. Our intent is to se-
cure and renovate an appropriate location and have this consolidated service up and running in the fall. In the interim, patients who have been going to the Green Clinic for lab services should access them at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital laboratory located on the main floor. Hours at the EKRH lab will be increased to 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. starting July 28 to accommodate the needs of residents who formerly went to the Green Clinic. I know this may be an inconvenience for some residents and I want to stress that using the EKRH lab is a temporary measure
to ensure all Cranbrook residents continue to have access to outpatient laboratory services while we set up a new permanent location. Interior Health will provide the community with more information as soon as possible. While we are going through some changes right now, I want to stress that Interior Health is committed to maintaining access to quality laboratory services for the community.

Air Cadet flies high For the Townsman
METCHOSIN, B.C. - Brandon McLellan of Cranbrook enjoyed a Familiarization Flight on Wed., July 9 in a Cessna 172, a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing fixedwing aircraft. “I even got to fly for about five minutes,” said the excited teenager. All General Training Course (GTC) cadets – most 12 and 13 years old - have an opportunity to go on an approx. 20 minute flight in one of three Cessnas, rented from Victoria Flying Club and flown out of 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron in Sidney. Over 140 air cadets from throughout B.C. are presently on the General Training Course. The two-week course is the first introduction many cadets have to life at a Cadet Summer Training Centre, some even the first time away
from home. Thirty-two of the more than 500 here at Albert Head are flew out of Cranbrook Airport the previous Saturday, and are from communities from Grand Forks to Sparwood. Four cadets were here from Cranbrook. There are just over 3,600 air cadets in B.C. The Cadet Program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.

Damning with feint prose W VAU GH N PA LM E R
hen Finance Minister Mike de Jong released a critical report on his B.C. Liberal colleague Amrik Virk last month, he offered a two-word characterization of the findings. “Troubling,” he told reporters. “Unacceptable.” Virk, as a member of the board of Kwantlen Polytechnic University back in 2012, had aided and abetted a scheme to circumvent full reporting of executive salaries to the central agency that maintains government compensation guidelines. “I understand that boards, generally populated by people on a volunteer basis, want to attract the very best people possible,” observed de Jong. “But we have guidelines that relate to both the amounts that are allowed to be paid and to how those amounts must be disclosed. Those requirements weren’t met. That’s not satisfactory.” Embarrassing, too, because Virk is now the minister for advanced education and hence the cabinet member in charge of ensuring that universities and colleges show the proper respect for government policies and guidelines. Did de Jong see any problem with his colleague continuing in that role, in light of the bad example he set as a member of the Kwantlen board? “No,” replied the finance minister. “Because — I’ll tell you why. I have spoken with Minister Virk and I think it is fair to say that he understands in a very specific way that the requirements around disclosure weren’t met. That’s not acceptable ... I am certain that when you speak with him, Minister Virk will confirm he has a similar stance on the matter.” De Jong’s assurances notwithstanding, Virk initially expressed only vague contrition (“it’s a humbling experience”) while minimizing the offence: “While reporting did occur ... that reporting was not fulsome and wasn’t in sufficient detail.” Not until the day after the report came
out did he apologize: “I’m incredibly sorry that I didn’t do better as a board member. I should have sought out more information to ensure that the best reporting requirements were done. I can only deeply regret that.” Meanwhile, de Jong announced plans to tighten guidelines for executive compensation: “I am also going to be writing directly to all of the institutions to ensure that they fully appreciate the level of importance that the government and I attach to their compliance, not just with the technical requirements of disclosure rules, but also the spirit of those disclosure rules.” A course in Disclosure 101, he called it. Perhaps board members will appreciate the irony of being put through re-education camp while their minister, Virk, was let off the hook for his documented disrespect of the guidelines. I thought back to the consequence-free handling of the Virk case this week when the Liberals released the report on the departure of CEO Michael Graydon from B.C. Lottery Corporation. Once again, you had a damning report from the Ministry of Finance. Graydon had violated conflict guidelines by entering into discussions about a new job with a private company in the gambling industry and he violated disclosure guidelines by not telling the corporate board for two months. Once again, there was de Jong, offering reporters his characterization of the findings. “Well, they’re troubling to the extent that they reveal a very senior official conducted himself at the time he was in charge of a Crown corporation in a manner that was both inconsistent and fell short of the standards that one would expect,” the finance minister told reporters. “It’s also clear from the report that the exit procedures that were in place at the B.C. Lottery Corporation were not sufficient ... There were procedures and requirements in place that from the report
weren’t followed, and that, too, isn’t acceptable.” Troubling. Not acceptable. The minister appeared to be singing from the same song sheet, or perhaps thumbing to the same pages in the thesaurus. Then, fresh from another chorus of “nobody knows the troubles I’ve seen,” de Jong proceeded to minimize the failure of the government appointees on the board of the B.C. Lottery Corporation. Given the findings about how Graydon had conducted himself, why had the board agreed to a separation package valued at $125,000? “It probably has something to do with what the board would have known at the time they made their decision,” replied de Jong. Board chairman Bud Smith was not long in substantiating that excuse. “The decisions we made as a board were based on the information that we received largely from Graydon at the time of his resignation . ... and that information was not complete,” he told Rob Shaw of The Vancouver Sun. “Had I known then what I know today ... the results would have been different.” Meanwhile, de Jong told reporters that he would again be firing up the ministry word processor: “You will soon receive a copy of the letter that I am sending to the lottery corporation and to all Crown agencies making clear my expectations that ... the requirement for post-employment restrictions, similar to what exists in the public sector and the public sector standards of conduct, be fully integrated into their individual policy guidelines.” That sound you hear is the minister closing the barn door after yet another escape without retribution. Troubling, one might say. Unacceptable, even. Vaughn Palmer is a columnist with the Vancouver Sun

Germany defeats Argentina to claim FIFA World Cup title MAT TIAS K AREN Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - With two quick and sublimely deft touches, Mario Goetze ended Germany’s 24year wait for another World Cup title. Goetze scored the winning goal in extra time to give Germany a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday in a tight and tense World Cup final that came down to a few moments of individual skill. Goetze, who wasn’t born when West Ger-
many beat Argentina in the 1990 final, controlled a cross with his chest in the 113th minute and in one fluid motion volleyed the ball past goalkeeper Sergio Romero and inside the far post from five yards out. It was a goal that gave Germany its fourth World Cup title in its eighth final, and left Argentina star Lionel Messi still walking in the shadow of his compatriot Diego Maradona, who led his country to the 1986 title.
Goetze went on as a substitute for Miroslav Klose toward the end of regulation time and the 22-year-old midfielder’s fresh legs made the difference. Andre Schuerrle broke down the left flank, sending his cross into the area, and the Bayern Munich player did the rest with a clinical finish. The goal echoed that of Andres Iniesta’s four years ago, when the midfielder scored in similar fashion but from the other side of the area to give
Bandits run into tough teams at Kalispell tourney TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
It was a tough weekend in Montana, as the Bandits were winless in four games during a tournament in Kalispell. The Calgary Rockies doubled up 10-5 on the Bandits on Friday, pulling away early to take the win. In the first inning, the Rockies scored four runs, while the Bandits posted three, with a one-run deficit. However, Calgary pulled ahead in the second with three more runs, and were able to shut down Cranbrook for much of the game. Tyler Thorn had three RBI’s on two hits, singling in the first inning and doubling in the fourth. Thorn was also on the pitchers mound, walking two and throwing one strikeout in just over two innings. The Bandits took to the field later that afternoon for their second
game against the Mission Valley Mariners, which ended in a 15-3 defeat. The Bandits scored one in the third and two in the fourth, but it was tough to come back after giving up a 10-0 lead after two innings to the Mariners.
Brenden Bird had a pair of RBI’s, while Robert Nickell added the third. Bird also pitched most of the game, while four teammates hit the mound as well in relief. On Saturday, it was a devastating second inning that led to a 11-1 defeat at the hands of a team out of Medicine Hat. The Bandits gave up eight runs after the opening inning, and
couldn’t mount a comeback. An RBI single from Brandon Ouilette brought Noah Renette home for Cranbrook’s only run of the game in the third inning. Again, the Bandits handled pitching by committee, with four players on the mound. Renette handled the majority of the duties, with a walk and a strike. On Sunday, the Kalispell Lakers jumped early on the way to a 15-6 win over the Bandits. Despite facing a 9-2 deficit after two innings, the Bandits battled back to make it 9-5 before the Lakers took it away with six runs in the fourth inning. Renette, Nickell, Bird, Cedar Kemp and Jake Bromley all hit RBI singles. Ouilette handled most of the pitching duties with four walks and three strikeouts.
Reinhart signs with Sabres TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
Sam Reinhart signed an entry level contract with the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. Reinhart, who was a second overall selection by the Sabres at the 2014 NHL Draft, is the club’s highest pick since 1987. He put up 36 goals and 69 assists while serving as captain of the Kootenay Ice last season, and was named the
WHL’s Player of the Year and Most Sportsmanlike Player of the year. “We are very excited to have Sam under contract,” said Sabres general manager Tim Murray. “We look forward to watching him develop and become an important part of our organization in the future.” Reinhart was selected by the Kootenay Ice 15th overall in the first round of the 2010 WHL Bantam Draft. He broke
a franchise rookie scoring record and set new ones during three full seasons with the club. He won a bronze and a gold medal with Canada’s U18 team and another gold at the 2012 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. He also made the national roster for the 2014 World Junior Championship. Reinhart is currently in Buffalo attending a summer prospects development camp.
Spain a 1-0 extra time win over the Netherlands. “It’s incredible. The team did it beautifully,” said Manuel Neuer, who was voted the tournament’s best goalkeeper. “At some point we’ll stop celebrating but we’ll still wake up with a smile.” For Germany, the win ends a string of near misses since winning its last major title at the 1996 European Championship. The team lost the 2002 World Cup final to Brazil and lost in the semifinals in both 2006 and 2010. Argentina had not been back in the final since that 1990 loss, and has now been beaten by Germany in the last three World Cups. “This was our chance, and we felt that way. We couldn’t do it. We have to lift our head
Germany beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time to win the World Cup and suffer the pain,” Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano said. “Obviously, the pain is tremendous. We wanted the cup for Argentina.” It is Germany’s first World Cup title as a unified nation, having won as West Germany in 1954, 1974 and 1990. It
was also the third World Cup final between these countries and had been billed as a matchup between the perfect team and the perfect individual, pitting Germany’s machine-like unit against the brilliance of Messi, the four-time world player of the year. But in the biggest
A good place to be
game of his career, Messi came up short. He had one good chance to score when he was sent free in the area just after the halftime break, but sent his shot wide of the far post. It was a difficult angle, but still the type of chance he so often converts for Barcelona.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have three children, two of whom recently graduated college. We knew the dates of the graduations five months in advance, and we told my mother, the only grandparent they have. We told her how much we wanted her to attend and celebrate the accomplishments of her two oldest grandchildren. She said she couldn’t attend our son’s because she had a board meeting she “simply could not miss,” and the date for our daughter’s graduation conflicted with her picking up her new Mercedes at the dealership. I am beyond hurt that my mother takes such little interest in any of my children. They are awesome kids and are always polite and well mannered around her. What should I say to her? (I know what I would like to say, but I won’t.) Mom’s friends are always telling me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful mother when it couldn’t be further from the truth. Mom is extremely self-centered and is happy to purchase a new piece of expensive jewelry before spending any quality time with her grandchildren. She treats my siblings’ children the same way, with the exception of one sister whose children she positively spoils. She attends those children’s sporting events, school activities and every party she is invited to. I am a loving and caring daughter and want to have my mother in my life, but frankly, I don’t believe it’s healthy anymore to keep being hurt. I thought about telling Mom how I feel in a letter, but I doubt she would see the problem. How do I explain to my kids that it’s not them? How do I handle Mom’s lack of interest? -- At a Loss for Words Dear At a Loss: Your mother sounds narcissistic. If you can accept her as she is, selfish and self-absorbed, you can have a limited relationship. There’s no point inviting her to your children’s events, because you will only be hurt by her response. Your children are old enough to understand that Grandma has personality issues that prevent her from appreciating them, and it is not anything they can change. Don’t expect more than she is capable of giving, and you will be able to handle her with less frustration and sadness. We hope you have friends who can fill the gap. Dear Annie: I’d like to mention something that your senior readers might not be aware of. When my husband (a state employee) passed away, I was given the option of continuing his state health care policy. It is an excellent policy and very reasonable. Not long ago, I was looking through the policy information and came across the fact that should I remarry, I would lose the coverage. I am sure there are others out there who have continued with their spouse’s insurance and might not be aware of this clause. As boring as it might be, I heartily suggest sitting down with one’s health insurance policy to become familiar with all of the ins and outs. I’m pretty sure I would not take a chance on remarriage at this stage of my life. -- Covered in Massachusetts Dear Covered: Too often, people do not check such things and don’t realize that there are hidden clauses and other surprises that merit some attention. We’re certain everyone will take a closer look thanks to your warning. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Hope for the Helpless,” whose husband checks out every attractive woman. Here’s a different take on this issue. As a new bride, I noticed my husband’s wandering eye at the beach. There were lots of pretty young women in skimpy bathing suits. As we looked around, I asked my husband, “Did you see the purple bikini over there?” He later told me it took all the fun out of it when I pointed out the pretty women. -- K.
