Children up the pressure over chickens Cranbrook council receives letters and drawings from local kids urging it to allow backyard coops ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Three more children put their support behind the city allowing backyard chickens within its limits. At the July 14 council meeting, council received letters from Iris, Lily and Cianne hoping the city will change its bylaws which prohibit keeping backyard chickens. The letters also

prompted the mayor to announce he would be bringing a motion on the matter to council at the August 18 meeting. Eight-year-old Iris wrote that she’s always wanted to raise backyard chickens. “I am writing this letter because I really love chickens,” she wrote. “If I had chickens my family would get lots of fresh eggs.”

The dog days of summer A Cranbrook vet provides tips on ensuring your pet stays safe on the hottest days

SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

It’s summer time and the living is easy – but many of us don’t realize that our fourlegged family members need extra attention in the warmer

months. When you take Fido along on vacation, there are a few things to keep in mind, said Cranbrook veterinarian Gerry MacIntyre of Kootenay Veterinary Clinic.

“Little things happen that can create strife on your holiday,” he said. “If you are aware of the problems that can arise, you can hopefully avoid most of them.” When you are packing for a

holiday within Canada, take your dog’s own food rather than counting on buying it wherever you go – especially if your dog has a special diet.

There will be a federal election in 2015, although the actual date is still up in the air. Some pundits predict early spring, others believe it will be later in the year. However, political parties are organizing riding by riding, getting

candidates in place. In Kootenay-Columbia, the Green Party is preparing for a nomination contest for candidates to run in this riding. The actual vote to select a candidate will take place later this year.

Vancouver troubadours hit the Byng Ferdy Bell and For the Townsman

“I don’t have any serious plans for the rest of the year. I take each day as it comes.” And so it goes with an enjoyably unconcerned attitude from Vancouver’s singer-songwriter Lukas Berhndt, whose next serious plan involves striding the stage with his scuffed boots and his battered guitar at the legendary Byng Road-

house this Saturday, July 26, with his musical partner-in-crime Matthew Colin, who’s coming all the way in from Australia. “The most memorable show I’ve ever played was in Vancouver,” Behrndt recalls. “It’s a feature night called ‘For the Sake of the Song Sundays,’ and it’s held in an old brick studio with just one condenser microphone set up. The room was

packed full of fellow songwriters and musicians. It’s so quiet in there, you could hear a pin drop. It’s a real treat when you get to play for a room full of people who want to hear what you’re saying.” Behrndt and Colin’s dual appearance in Cranbrook is part of their current Southern B.C. tour, a travelling minstrel’s lifestyle which apparently they thrive on.

“If I could live on the road, I would,” Behrndt admits. “I feel most at home driving through the night to somewhere new. The road has inspired many of my songs and it’s my favorite place to be.” Born in Wisconsin, Behrndt moved to Cranbrook at age 10 with his family and has spent the past four years immersing himself amongst Vancouver’s many vibrant neo-folk sing-

er-songwriters. “I love the music community I’m a part of,” Behrndt states. “I’m lucky enough to have gifted friends I admire; Matthew Colling, Bob Sumner, Elliot C. Way. Sitting around with these people after the bars close up and passing around a guitar and sharing songs is so inspiring...yet discouraging; they’re real writers, and they can make you re-think everything you’re doing.” With his songwriting influenced by 1970s heroes such as Townes van Zandt, Guy Clark, and Gram Parsons, Behrndt is looking forward to bringing his music back home to Cranbrook for the enjoyment of all. “I listen to music all day mostly every day, so it’s always something different for me. Write what you know... and know what you write.” Dirty Luke and Mat-

No campfire ban for the Southeast Fire Centre Submit ted

For the Townsman

The Canadian Union of Postal Workers is thanking residents and businesses in Cranbrook for supporting its campaign to keep door-to-door delivery services. The Cranbrook CUPW local 728 is still looking for locations to post two more 4x8-foot “Save Door to Door Delivery” signs. Interested parties can contact the CUPW local by email, cupw728@outlook.com, or by mail, PO Box 141, Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H9. Canada Post announced in December that it is planning to phase out door-to-door delivery of regular mail to urban residents. Pictured: CUPW workers (from left) Karen, Cheryl, Jodi and Mandy thank Runners RV on the strip for agreeing to hang this sign.

Local kids say keeping chickens would teach them important skills Continued from page 1 Lily, also 8, said raising chickens would teach her about responsibility. “My sister and I really want to hatch our own chickens,” she wrote. “If you could please let us have some chickens in Cranbrook we would be so happy.” Cianne, 10, also wrote to council. “I always wanted to live on a farm but my family lives in town,” she wrote. “I really want to have chickens. I would like to learn how to properly take care of animals.” She said a family member does have a farm in Jaffray so she already has a source for fertilized eggs. The problem is that chickens are not allowed. The kids’ letters were also accompanied by artwork that illustrates life with backyard chickens. “When we look at this issue, I think it has to be part of a larger policy or bylaw concerning many of the issues that we’ve been talking about,” Mayor Wayne Stetski said. “That is an urban farm

The Southeast Fire Centre has received many inquiries about whether a campfire ban will implemented. The fire centre will not be issuing a campfire prohibition at this time, but staff will continue to evaluate the situation on a daily basis. Sometimes it is necessary to implement campfire prohibitions to reduce the risk of wildfires. Multiple factors determine the timing of such a ban, including weather conditions, local fire activity and whether fire centre staff are encountering widespread non-compliance with campfire regulations. The current situation does not warrant this preventative action, due to recent precipitation, the forecasted weather conditions and the fact that there have been no incidents in the Southeast Fire Centre this season where campfire misuse has resulted in a

wildfire. However, the open fire prohibition announced on July 2, 2014, will remain in place until the public is otherwise notified. Specifically, prohibited open burning activities include: * The burning of any waste, slash or other materials. * Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. * The use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or description. Campfires must not be larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre tall. Anyone lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire area and must have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish the fire. Campfires must not be lit or kept burning during windy condi-

tions. Make sure the fire is fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. Remember that embers can reignite, especially in warm weather. Careless campfire use can have costly repercussions. Anyone who leaves a campfire unattended for any length of time may be fined up to $345. Anyone whose campfire causes a wildfire may also be subject to a penalty of $100,000 and one year in jail, and may be ordered to pay for costs associated with fighting the fire and any damages. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1 800 663-5555 tollfree or *5555 on a cellphone.

Three Cranbrook children submitted drawings including the one above to council to ask it to reconsider allowing backyard chickens. bylaw, which a number of communities have across British Columbia.” He said it would look at not only urban chickens, but also things like using vacant city blocks for gardening opportunities. Stetski will be bringing a motion forward for council consideration around creating

an urban farm bylaw for Cranbrook. “We really appreciate young people taking the time to tell us what kind of a future they’d like to see in Cranbrook,” Stetski said after Coun. Sharon Cross decided she would be hanging one of the drawings on her fridge. In 2012, a resident

requested that the city put in rules to allow certain livestock, such as goats, turkeys and chickens, to be raised in Cranbrook city limits. That was voted down. Then, last month, the backyard chicken issue reemerged when 12-year-old Sierra brought it forward in a letter to council.

This weekend, the Kootenay Columbia Greens are hosting a barbecue potluck at Wycliffe Park to give local Greens a chance to meet each other — and to start planning for the next election. The barbecue begins at 4 p.m. Sunday, July 27 at site 5B at Wycliffe Regional Park. Anyone attending is asked to bring something to grill and something to share. Devon Caron, Chief Executive Officer of the Green Party Electoral District Association for Kootenay-Columbia, says there are already two candidates seeking the nomination. “We are excited to see a real nomination contest forming in Kootenay-Columbia,” Caron said. “We encourage anyone who wants a voice in selecting the Green candidate to become a Green Party member today.”

Caron says that the names of the candidates are not being announced until nominations close. “We will announce all the candidates once the nomination period closes. There will be 45 days to campaign. “Then we hope to be able to do a whistle-stop tour of Kootenay-Columbia with the candidates. It’s such a giant riding.” In the 2011 federal election, Kimberley’s Bill Green ran for the Green Party, finishing with 310 votes, third to Conservative David Wilks and NDP candidate Mark Shmigelsky. The Green Party is feeling optimistic, seeing as Green Party leader Elizabeth May has been joined in the House of Commons by MP Bruce Hyer, an independent who left the NDP and joined the Green Party in 2013.

They are also buoyed by the election of MLA Andrew Weaver provincially. “With the Conservative government’s recent approval of the Enbridge pipeline, it is more important than ever for us to stand up and say enough is enough,” Caron said. “Now is the time to take the first steps in changing the way we are represented in Ottawa.” The riding being redrawn to include the Nelson area is a positive as well, Caron believes. “I think it definitely changes the numbers. In the provincial election the Green Party got 25 per cent of the vote in Nelson. “With our new electoral boundaries, we are excited to have Greens in the old riding get to know their new friends in the Nelson area — and to select a great candidate to represent us in the next federal election.”

Hazards for dogs increase over summer months Continued from page 1 If you’re travelling to the States, you won’t be allowed to take dog food with you, but research where you can buy it once you get across the line. Also if you’re crossing the border, be sure to take your dog’s rabies vaccination papers. A rabies dog tag alone isn’t enough to allow your pet to be admitted to the States. Do some research about common dog problems in your holiday destination. For instance, while heartworm and fleas are not common in the East Kootenay, they are much more so in the Okanagan and the Lower Mainland. Consider a preventative treatment program before you leave. It’s also a good idea to bring some water from home for your dog – a sudden change in water source can cause gastro. If your dog is on pre-

scription medicine, make sure you have packed more than enough to get through the holiday, because vets out of town may not be able to issue a new prescription to a one-off client. It’s a good idea to think of your dog when packing a first aid kit for your family. Take things like bandages – self adhesive vet wrap is good to have – plus polysporin, antihistamine for stings, tums for tummy upsets, gauze for pad tears, and the essential-in-an-emergency skunk off shampoo. “There’s nothing worse than sleeping in a camper with a skunked dog,” said MacIntyre. If you are going camping, there are several tricks of the trade to ensure your dog’s safety, he continued. You can buy small containers that attach to your dog’s collar at pet stores and outdoor

On a piece of paper, write down where you are staying so if your dog wanders off and you don’t have cell service, a good Samaritan knows where to bring the dog back to. Microchips are good, but they depend on a vet with a good scanner, and on the owner updating their information when they move or get a new phone number. Dogs can get a bit carried away with campfire pits, MacIntyre said. “It’s virtually an open smorgasbord.” But eating scraps can cause diarrhea, vomiting and blood

in the feces. Similarly, try not to let your dog drink from stagnant water – the Alkalis in Cranbrook’s Community Forest are a good example but watch for any water that doesn’t have much movement, that smells or has algae growing. Drinking stagnant water can also cause vomiting and diarrhea, and swimming in it can give the dog duck mites that cause itchiness, and in a recent case in the Lower Mainland, a stagnant pond contained norovirus. You can also get a multi shot from your vet that helps protect your dog from ticks, mites, fleas

feet, it’s not a good idea for your dog either. If your dog does overheat, cool it down gradually. “Too rapid a body temperature change can compromise organ function,” said MacIntyre. The vessels in the skin open up more to help the dog cool off. Hosing it down with cold water or throwing it into a cold lake can cause those vessels to constrict and reduce the cooling mechanism. But overheating can be deadly so the best move is to get your dog to a vet as quickly as possible. Speargrass is another common summer hazard for dogs. The pointy dried grass has a barb that makes it easy to go into the dog’s ear, eye or skin, and hard to get out. After your dog has been running through grass, check it over thoroughly. If your dog is constantly holding its head to the side, it’s an indication there is something inside the ear. If its eye is weeping, don’t assume eye drops will solve the problem – it could be speargrass inside the third eyelid. Take speargrass seriously, MacIntyre said, and seek medical attention. “In most cases, the animal will require sedation. If you try to (remove it) yourself, you could end up perforating an ear drum. All it takes is the dog moving sharply just once.”

and tapeworm it can pick up in the forest and from small critters it could come into contact with. Closer to home, it’s very easy for dogs to overheat in summer. It’s common knowledge not to leave your dog in the vehicle on a hot day, but even in your backyard your four-legged friend can overheat. “Dogs don’t sweat except through the pads of their feet, so they will look at ways of using the environment to cool themselves off,” said MacIntyre, saying this is why dogs will often dig holes to lay in in the backyard or in the sand at the beach. They will pant to cool themselves off – moving air over the tongue rapidly – but this is only effective if the air around them is moving. Some breeds have more trouble keeping cool than others. Dogs without a snout, such as pugs and shih tzus – are less efficient at panting to cool themselves down. Similarly, dogs without an undercoat can overheat faster because the undercoat traps cooler air against the skin. For that reason, wetting down a shaggy dog can make it harder for the dog to keep cool because there is less air space against its body. Also keep in mind that surfaces could be hot – asphalt can easily reach 75 degrees Celsius in direct sun. A good rule is if it’s too hot for your

Local NEWS City grants dentist the second revitalization tax exemption Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Council granted the second Revitalization Taxation Exemption Agreement last week for Dr. W. Dean Nish Inc. The agreement, approved at the July 14 council meeting, provides a 100 per cent tax exemption of the municipal share of property tax due in relation to improvements on the parcels for a period of five years commencing in 2015. The Heid Out was the first business granted the exemption under the bylaw earlier this year. The City of Cranbrook Downtown Revitalization Bylaw took effect in 2012. The construction value on the development has be at least $400,000. Coun. Diana J. Scott said it is great news and does enable people to refurbish some of the downtown locations better than they could have without the agreement. “It’s a very good fit, having a dental clinic in that location, because of its proximity to the

Kootenay Child Development Centre, which is very health oriented,” Scott said. “Then the physicians and a few other health specialists and doctors moving into the (former) Giant Tiger location. So it’s going to be a real hub of activity.” City staff recommended approving the application from Dr. Dean Nish. The building, which now houses the dental clinic, is a 295 sq. metre, wood-framed commercial building which replaced an older single-family dwelling on the property. It was designed and constructed as a dental practice. It incorporates natural light with numerous exterior windows. It also includes a Dutch gable-style roof with a lower cornice roof line to provide sunlight shading. The building includes rock facing, stucco and brown trim finishes. The application noted that the entrance with columns and architectural details are

intended to project a welcoming, traditional style building and also acknowledges the styles of the adjacent Manual Training School, library and Ktunaxa building. Council also passed the first three readings of an amendment that changes some of the language in the City of Cranbrook Downtown Revitalization Bylaw. “BC Assessment asked for clarification,” Mayor Wayne Stetski said. “This is the bylaw that allows businesses that are investing in the downtown area potentially to not pay property taxes on their improvements for five years. It’s one of the improvements that council made to improve the opportunity for businesses. And to help ensure a vital downtown Cranbrook.” Stetski said the language was confusing so they asked for some of the language in the bylaw to be changed to provide clarity to BC Assessment. The language, which passed three readings and is ready for formal adoption, has already been looked at by the assessment authority and looks to have fixed any issue.

Rather like a gas/electric hybrid car, we could be looking at a jet/human powered hybrid aircraft. In fairness I must point out that as comfort on airlines has declined, so have prices. I flew to London, England in 1975 for $475 return. Now according to the Oracle Google, $1 in 1975 is worth $4.35 today. So today’s ticket to London should cost $2,066.25. For that princely sum, I should get a shower and a bed. But I could fly a lot cheaper. You can still get an economy ticket to London for under $500 if you search hard enough. And consumers are demanding those low prices. You can’t have both. You can fly in absolute luxury, drinking champagne and a gourmet meal, whilst reclining in a delightfully comfy seat — for a price. Or you join the other poor schlubs in economy — happily pedalling their way across the country in exchange for a cheap airline ticket. Carolyn Grant is editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin.

Opinion/Events

I have been thinking of this deer problem for quite a while and I feel that the City of Cranbrook owes it to the majority of the city taxpayers to take care of this problem instead of passing it on to the next council, like it has in the past. City residents shouldn’t have to walk in fear, hoping they don’t come across a doe with a fawn that might attack them, or a deer that doesn’t like their dog barking at them. We shouldn’t have to buy fencing material or deer repellant to protect our property in the city limits against wildlife. The city protects us against our neighbour’s pets. All you have to do is call up the bylaw enforcement officer. So why are we sitting back letting this

problem get worse as the years go by? Killing or removing twenty or thirty deer isn’t solving anything. We all know that these deer are multiplying faster than that. I feel that the city should remove all of them. One other fact I would like to share is an average of 20 deer and elk are killed on our highways every month in the Cranbrook area. So for the people that want to protect our wildlife, they should be contacting the government to install proper fencing on our highway right-aways. That way, these animals could live safely in their own environment and people can drive without the fear of hitting one of these animals. William Sissons Cranbrook

Thanks I would just like to give a shout out to some very wonderful people. On Wednesday, July 16, I was heading home to Cranbrook after having had my dog in Calgary for surgery. After I fuelled up at the Okotoks Petro Can cardlock, I realized, through fault of my own, that the doors were locked and the windows rolled up. I immediately called Ahmed at Northstar Motors to see if he could activate my OnStar (I had let it lapse). He and Travis worked simultaneously in trying to have someone from OnStar open my doors, to no avail. Two wonderful truck drivers came to my rescue, lending me their phone and valiantly

trying to break into my truck. Nothing working and with the temperature rising, I had one of the men smash my window. My dog and I made a fairly uneventful journey back to town where I phoned Cranbrook Glass to see if they could fix my window. Don ordered one immediately and it arrived and was installed before noon the next day. So thank you, Ahmed and Travis from Northstar, Don and Jordon from Cranbrook Glass and the two truck drivers from Calgary whose names I didn’t get. You all made a frantic situation SOOOOOO much better. Marion Quennell Cranbrook

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of July 20 - 26 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives. 1899 Shut Up Tight … A great many tongues were hanging out around town Sunday last. Every business house was closed up tighter than a clamshell, owing to an order from the police enforcing Sunday closing. In some ways the rigid enforcement of this law works a hardship on the public. Local Bricks … The first kiln of brick at the McMullin Yard was a success – good enough for any land – and are now ready for the market. Work on the second kiln has commenced, and the indications are that the product will be still better than the first, depth improving the clay. Knocked Out … Last Thursday liveryman McMullen was leading Dr. Brodie’s horse, when the latter took offence at something, got on his dignity and hind legs, squared off at Mc and let go with his right catching him on top of the head and knocking him out in the first round. The doctor sewed up Mc’s scalp and he is getting on all right. Mc says he will insist on that horse wearing sacks of hay on his feet in the next fight. 1900 Taking A Look Backward … A little over two years ago three or four houses constituted Cranbrook, and the only music to be heard was the coyote, who was out all night singing, “We Won’t Go Home Till Morning.” Soon after the railroad and civilization came — and lo, a wonderful change ensued. Last Tuesday night the editor sat on the office steps wrapped in meditation and the smoke of a Havana; in dulcet strains from the west, accompanied by the thumping of a piano, came the music and words of that soul stirring hymn, “Let Me Bring My Clothes Back Home.” A short distance to the southwest about 50 Chinamen were congregated listening to the heart-rending strains of a Chinese fiddle, and each Chinaman had a

chorus of his own to accompany the music of his fatherland. From the Methodist church, a block east, came that sweet melody, nicely sung, with an accompaniment of two or three instruments, “Down On the Swanee River.” Two blocks northeast, at the corner of the post office, a group of fakirs with a banjo, a comedian and a “doctor” were busy thrumming tunes, singing songs and convincing people that they were the owners of a bothriacephalus latus upon which they could serve a writ of ejectment for the small sum of about cents per foot of bothria, etc. In the face of these facts, will anyone attempt to deny that railroads are the greatest civilizers on earth? Installing Telephones ... Paul Rookes is installing a number of private telephones in town. Among the latest is one for the Bottling Works in connection with Beattie’s Drugstore, to facilitate communication with customers, and one for Dr. King, also in connection with Beattie’s. New Record … Sam Rajotte recently drove from Fort Steele to Cranbrook, 12 miles, in 55 minutes from time of leaving the former place to putting the horses in the stable in this place. Who can beat it, and have their horses in good condition at the end of the journey, carrying two people in the buggy? No Deaths … Business is a little dull in Cranbrook just now. Undertaker Campbell says he has not had a client for several weeks; he says this is a fact and not “a stiff.” Rider’s Bad Luck … Clarence Miner thinks he is hoodooed. It was only a few evenings since that he was out with a young lady for a horseback ride; seeing some flowers on the prairie they dismounted to gather them; when it came to remounting the young lady’s horse kindly consented to being caught; but Clarence’s horse gave him the horse-laugh and defied capture; as night was approaching it was deemed best for the young lady to return — a matter of two or three miles — and send a gentleman friend of Clarence’s back to help capture the steed; this was done but the two boys had no better success, and Clarence was obliged to take Foot & Walker’s bus line back to town. The horse returned when he got ready.

1901 C.P.R. Did Cranbrook Good Turn ... Late last Friday evening it was discovered that the regular train on the main line was ten hours late, and that the local that was to be run on the Crow was three hours late. That meant that the Fernie boys could not get to Cranbrook in time for the lacrosse and football games, and the largely advertised contests would have to be called off. A committee went to Chief Dispatcher Walker at 11:30 p.m. and stated the situation. There was no train scheduled out of Fernie, and no train east to come along during the day. The proposition was a tough one, but Walker never flinched. He picked up the train sheet and glancing over it said, “We will have to fix it up someway, boys.” And he did. As a result a special left Fernie at one o’clock, bringing the crowd in to Cranbrook on time. It was a nice act, promptly and courteously done, and was a great favour to the towns of Fernie and Cranbrook. Furthermore, it demonstrated that Superintendent Bury is ready to meet the people since he has been in charge of this division. The Fall Exhibition ... The first annual Mineral, Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition ever held in East Kootenay will open at Cranbrook on September 25, and is billed for three days. This is a pioneer effort and one calculated to do the whole of South East Kootenay a lot of good. Everyone living in this part of the country should put their shoulders to the wheel and help to make the exhibition a grand success. Cranbrook’s Band ... A meeting of the citizens was held last Thursday evening at Wentworth Hall, for the purpose of forming a business organization for the Cranbrook band. G. H. Gilpin was elected president and W. W. Doble, secretary-treasurer. V. Hyde Baker, W. T. Reid and James Ryan were named as members of the executive committee. Mr. Hickenbotham was unanimously selected as leader of the band, and he will organize as soon as the instruments arrive. Enough money has been contributed to supply a full set of first-class instruments, and no time will be lost in giving Cranbrook a band that the people may take pride in.

Canada focusing solely on sport in Glasgow Games LORI E WING Canadian Press

GLASGOW - Around this time four years ago, Canadian team general manager Scott Stevenson was scrubbing floors at the Commonwealth Games athletes village in India. Canada’s team had delayed its travel to New Delhi - for as long as a week for some athletes - because of serious concerns about hygiene and security in the village. Canadian officials called the athletes’ quarters “unlivable.” Canada was among several countries that talk-

ed about pulling out. Four years later, Stevenson and the rest of the Canadian team in Glasgow can focus on competition rather than cleaning - and that alone could help Canada climb back into the top three on the Commonwealth medal table. “The challenge of Delhi was incredible,” said Stevenson. “We were looking at turning on taps that ran right to the floor. Flushing toilets that didn’t flush. There were live wires. We had to buy equipment and cleaning supplies. “We had to be, in so

OBITUARIES Iris May MacFarlane 1924 - 2014 It is with deep sorrow that the family of Iris MacFarlane announces her passing on Saturday, July 12, 2014 at Joseph Creek Extended Care Facility in Cranbrook at 90 years of age. Iris was born on January 13, 1924 at the St. Eugene Hospital in Cranbrook. Prior to her marriage to Donald, Iris worked as a bank teller at the Imperial Bank for many years. She enjoyed reading and collecting knickknacks. Iris is survived by her son Kenneth William MacFarlane (Janet), grandchildren Sean and Caitlin all of Otis Orchards, WA; sister Deannie Holmes (Albert); and many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. She was predeceased by her loving husband Donald MacFarlane; parents Margaret and William Alward; sisters Joyce Ross, and Buddy Ferguson; brother Raymond Alward and grandson Travis Ian Eugene MacFarlane. The family would like to thank Dr. Dawson and the staff at Joseph Creek Extended Care Facility, Mt. Stevens Unit, where Iris was a resident since 2007. A private family graveside service will take place in the Fort Steele Cemetery on July 26, 2014 at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a memorial donation in honour of Iris may do so to: Joseph Creek Extended Care Facility, 1701 - Willowbrook Drive, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 0A5.

He was three or four rooms into it when he sat back and realized “Wait a second, I haven’t made one note yet. “Here, we could hit the ground running,” Stevenson said at the team’s opening news conference Tuesday. Canada is gunning for a top-three finish in Glasgow after finishing fourth in New Delhi behind Australia, England and the home country. The 265-member team is the largest Canada has ever fielded for a Commonwealth Games held outside of Canada, and it boasts Olympic and world championship medallists such as swimmer Ryan Cochrane, high jumper Derek Drouin, and heptathlete and decathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton and Damian Warner. “Our national sport bodies see this as a very important opportunity, not just as a stepping stone but as a very competitive event,” Stevenson said. “Very strong fields here. You’re going to see some great competition. Some of the events have the very best in the world here.” Among the Games’ international stars: Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, distance runner Mo Farah and diver Tom Daley of England, Welsh cyclist Geraint Thomas, and rugby sevens player Samisoni Viriviri of Fiji.

Three Cranbrook wakeboarders had top-three finishes at the Water Ski and Wakeboard Alberta Wake Tour Stop #3 over the weekend. Colden Thompson completed 10 tricks in a flawless ride at Jackfish Lake near Edmonton Saturday, capturing third place in the tough Open Division. Brothers Ryder and Dagen Duczek competed in the U-11 Division, and placed first and second respectively. Thompson is already back on the water training for his next competition this Saturday. All three riders will compete in the Provincials at the end of August.

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL

Bandits off to final tourney TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It’s the last hurrah for the Cranbrook Bandits this week as they head to Montana for the district tournament which will wrap up their American Legion baseball season. It’s a 12-team tournament that determines the best ‘B’ division squad in the state. Over the season, the Bandits have played pretty much every team they’re potentially facing and know just how tough it will be over the four-day event. “It should be a good tournament,” said 2nd baseman Jake Bromley. “We can compete with most of the teams so we played almost all of them and we know we can beat them.” The team is coming off a weekend series against the Medicine Hat Majestics, sweeping the three game set with a trio of wins. Bromley said those victories boosted the team’s confidence. “It’s good going into it, because if you went in with three losses, everybody would be down for the week, but everyone is up, they just want to get going, so everyone’s really excited,” he added. Over those three games, the Bandits went to work at the plate with 22 hits, scoring 18 runs. “The last few weeks we’ve

been really getting into hitting again,” said Bromley. “We had a slump and now we’re back at it. Our defence has been spot-on the last week or so, so I think we’ll go in pretty strong.” Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek concurred, noting the team has improved on the defensive side of the game, especially the younger players. “Some of the younger kids who are in their first year are get-

ting more comfortable in their spots,” Mrazek said. “They know they need to make the routine plays and we’ve been getting a lot of reps in the last week, so they’re looking more comfortable out there and they’re moving to the ball properly now. “They’re getting there and looking a lot smoother, and their footwork and their throws and their gloves are a lot better than they were three weeks ago.”

Raptors to hold part of pre-season training camp in Vancouver C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Head coach Dwane Casey and the Toronto Raptors will head to Vancouver for a portion of their pre-season training camp the club announced on Wednesday. The Raptors will open camp at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre Sept. 29-Oct. 2 before departing for the West coast. The team also conducted its 2010 training camp in Vancouver. “We look forward to returning to Vancouver and taking advantage of the great facilities at Fortius Sports & Health,” said Casey. “As Canada’s team we feel this

trip will build on momentum gained from last season’s playoff appearance and the launch of our We the North campaign.” The Raptors will hold practices Oct. 3 and Oct. 4 at Fortius Sport & Health in Burnaby, B.C. All practice sessions will be closed to the public. It will be the seventh time the team has held a portion of camp outside of Ontario. In addition to Vancouver, the Raptors trained in Halifax in 2011 and 2012, Treviso and Rome, Italy and Madrid, Spain as part of NBA Europe Live in 2007, and Buffalo, N.Y., in 2000 and 2001.

Sports Weir, DeLaet look to end Canadian Open drought Bill Beacon Canadian Press

MONTREAL - It was 60 years ago that Pat Fletcher won the Canadian Open. No other Canadian has won the national open golf tournament since then, but that could change when the PGA Tour event returns this week to Royal Montreal, the tree-lined course that played host to the 2007 Presidents Cup. Mike Weir, Graham DeLaet and David Hearn are among the 19 home-grown players looking to end the losing run. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 60 years,” Weir said Wednesday after playing only nine holes

of a rain soaked pro-am event. “We have more capable players in the field now and I think we’re going to see it going forward. “It’s going to end at some point, so hopefully, if not myself, it’s another Canadian that gets it done this week. It would be nice to get the streak over so we don’t have to talk about it any more.” Winning the Canadian Open has never been more accessible thanks to a less than desirable date - just after the British Open, which ended with Rory McIlroy’s impressive victory on Sunday at Royal Liverpool. Most top golfers don’t want to play the week after the British,

although the Canadian Open helps those who do by laying on a charter flight to get them in early to readjust to the Eastern time zone. Only eight of the top 50 players on the Tour’s FedEx Cup standings are in the field, although they include third-place Dustin Johnson and fourth-place Matt Kuchar. McIlroy is not there. Neither are 2000 Canadian Open champion Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson. But thanks to RBC’s sponsorship of Tour regulars - Kuchar, last year’s winner at Glen Abbey Brandt Snedeker, twotime champion Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Luke Donald

O’Reilly, Kreider sign with respective NHL teams C anadian Press

DENVER - The Colorado Avalanche have avoided arbitration with Ryan O’Reilly by signing the versatile forward to a two-year deal. O’Reilly led the team with a career-high 28 goals last season and won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to a player who best exemplifies gentlemanly conduct. He also had six game-winners as the Avalanche advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 2009-10 under first-year coach Patrick Roy. The Avalanche made it an off-season priority to lock up the 23-yearold O’Reilly, but the two sides were far apart on numbers and appeared

headed toward arbitration. Team executive Joe Sakic said Wednesday the team is now “looking at the upcoming training camp and season with a lot of excitement.” Colorado selected O’Reilly in the second round of the 2009 draft. Chris Kreider and the New York Rangers agreed on a two-year deal shortly before going to arbitration. For the second straight day, the Rangers averted arbitration with a restricted freeagent forward. The 23-year-old Kreider made a deal Wednesday morning with an average salary of $2.475 million moments before the scheduled hearing.

He will receive $2.35 million next season and $2.6 million during 2015-16. On Tuesday, Mats Zuccarello agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million deal. New York has one more hearing scheduled with forward Derick Brassard on Monday. Kreider had 17 goals and 20 assists in 66 regular-season games. During the playoffs, the left wing had five goals and eight assists in 15 games. He returned for Game 4 of New York’s second-round series against Pittsburgh after missing a month with a broken left hand. He sat out nine regular-season games and 10 in the playoffs.

Stamps put Cornish on injured list C anadian Press

CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders have placed star running back Jon Cornish on the sixgame injured list due to a concussion. The league leader in rushing last year, Cornish suffered the injury when he was hit hard by Montreal Alouettes linebacker Kyries Hebert in the first week of the season. The 29-year-old from New Westminster, B.C., was knocked out but did walk off the field on his own.

He will be eligible to return Sept. 6 when the Stamps play in Edmonton although the team has the right to activate him prior to that date if the situation allows. Despite Cornish’s absence, the Stampeders are 3-0 this season. The teams says they want to ensure Cornish doesn’t return to the field prematurely. “Jon continues to make progress in his recovery but we understand the importance of being extremely careful

with this type of injury and we want to make sure Jon has all the time he needs to get completely healthy,” Stampeders general manager and head coach John Hufnagel said in a statement. “We look forward to having Jon back in the lineup and, in the meantime, other players have stepped up in his absence. I’m confident that will continue to be the case.” Cornish was the league’s Most Outstanding Player last season.

and others - and the presence of nine past champions, there is at least a competitive field. For Weir, an eighttime Tour winner, winning at home would be a dream. “This is my 24th Canadian Open, so I’ve been at it a long time,” the 44-year-old Weir said. “But ever time you come back it’s special. “It was the first professional event I watched live as a kid. I still remember doing a junior clinic with Andy Bean and Tom Kite and being one of the kids on the range that got to walk up there and get close to those guys. That really spurred my interest in professional golf.” A strong showing would boost Weir’s chances of making the FedEx Cup playoffs. He is 128th with four weeks left in the playoff race and needs to get into the top 125. It is also a special event for Hunter Mahan. The American was the 36-hole leader of last year’s Canadian Open when he got the call that wife was about to give birth to their first child, a daughter. Mahan immediately withdrew to fly home to Dallas to attend the birth.

Snedeker fired a 63 in the third round and held on to win. “It’s one of those things you talk about with golfers, what if you were in the lead and you had to go home on Saturday or Sunday,” said Mahan. “It’s one of those crazy things you talk about and discuss with your family or your wife, but most of the time, it never happens. “It’s kind of neat that we have the video of it all happening and then the newspaper clippings and all that, so it will be a fun story to show her and tell her about how she entered the world.” Snedeker said he was on the seventh hole at Glen Abbey when he saw Mahan’s name come off the leader board. “I started putting two and two together,” he said. “I was playing a great round of golf. It was a fortunate break for myself. Hunter was playing great. He would have been a tough guy to catch over the weekend. “I did follow through and we made sure we sent a coupe of nice gifts to the Mahan’s for baby Zoe. It’s something we’ll probably both remember the rest of our lives.”

FACTS You Need to Know About…

BC GOVERNMENT’S BUDGET... With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

Every summer, the BC Government releases the audited statements for the past ﬁscal year (ends March 31). The ﬁscal year 2013-14 “Public Accounts” were released July 15th by the Finance minister and the news was good.

Unlike what the Opposition and media said before the 2013 election, it is now proven true that the BC Government has balanced the budget for 2013-14, ending with a larger surplus than expected - $353 million. BC is one of only two provinces to balance its budget and one of three with a AAA credit rating.

We promised to balance the provincial budget and we are keeping that promise. Overall government spending was $561 million less than forecast and total spending increased by only 0.4%. This reduces interest cost on the debt and increases investor conﬁdence in BC.

Sports Stamkos ignoring Leafs speculation

Ortiz hits record book, Blue Jays prevail 6-4 over Red Sox TORONTO - Forced to go swing-for-swing with the Boston Red Sox, the Toronto Blue Jays proved more than up to the challenge. After David Ortiz made yet another impact on the series with a three-run home run, the Blue Jays bounced right back and eventually poured on the offence to beat the Red Sox 6-4 on Wednesday night at Rogers Centre. Jose Bautista had two RBI, one each on a double and a home run, to lead the charge. Jose Reyes, Josh Thole and Ryan Goins chipped in by driving in a run each. Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey (8-10) survived a rocky start to get the victory. Dickey allowed four earned runs on nine hits in six innings of work. Top prospect Aaron Sanchez made short work of the heart of the

Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

Boston order in his major league debut, getting Dustin Pedroia, Ortiz and Mike Napoli to each fly out in the seventh. In the eighth he set Daniel Nava (strikeout), Xander Bogaerts (groundout) and Stephen Drew (strikeout) down in order Clay Buchholz (5-6) gave up five runs - four earned - on six hits in his six innings and was saddled with the loss. Things started out dreadfully for Dickey, who gave up singles to the first two batters he faced in Shane Victorino and Pedroia. Then Ortiz slammed a 3-1 pitch 434 feet into the Level of Excellence in right field to give the Red Sox (47-54) an early 3-0 lead. With the homer, his fourth of the series, Ortiz moved into the Rogers Centre record books.

TORONTO - LeBron James going home to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers led to speculation about whether a star NHL player might do the same in the near future. Naturally, Steven Stamkos was at the centre of that speculation. The Tampa Bay Lightning captain and Markham, Ont., native could be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2016, and the allure of playing for the Toronto Maple Leafs could be there. “We’ll see what happens. It’s a couple years away,” Stamkos said Wednesday. “Right now I’m focused on what I have to do to win in Tampa, and I think we’ve really established ourselves as a team that can compete in upcoming years. “For me, that’s the important thing is getting a chance to win. It looks like we’re going to have that chance for a couple years.” At the age of 24, Stamkos is one of the most marketable stars in the NHL. He has topped 50 goals in a season twice already and only missed out on representing Canada at the Sochi Olympics because of a

Steven Stamkos currently serves as captain for the Tampa Bay Lightning broken leg. Stamkos made a run with the Lightning to the Eastern Conference final in 2011, and Tampa Bay was swept by the Montreal Canadiens in this year’s playoffs. The Stanley Cup is his priority now, something he can legitimately think about with general manager Steve Yzerman piecing together one of the best young teams in the league. “We have a good thing going down in Tampa,” Stamkos said at a Coca-Cola ball-hockey promotional event. “We have a

great owner, we got a great GM in Steve Yzerman and we got a good young team. I want to win, and hopefully I can do it in Tampa.” Stamkos said with the additions of centre Brian Boyle and defenceman Anton Stralman and the re-signing of winger Ryan Callahan, the Lightning are probably better on paper than they were at the end of last season. “We didn’t have the finish we wanted to last year, but with the new faces coming in, the expectations are probably set a

little higher,” he said. Stamkos said chatter about joining the Leafs in two years was “absolutely not” a distraction for him in Tampa, where he’ll begin his first full season as captain this fall. “I try not to focus about that stuff,” he said. “I think that’s the great thing about playing in Tampa is hockey isn’t the mecca that it is here in Toronto and you can kind of go about your life and kind of get away from the game when you need to.” That said, Stamkos added that he loves playing in good hockey markets, including Toronto. “I’m from around here and grew up cheering for the Leafs, so any time I get a chance to come back here I enjoy it, and any time I get a chance to play against the Leafs it’s fun,” he said. “It’s also fun beating them, too, because a lot of my friends are still Leaf fans.” Stamkos is set to make US$13.5 million over the next two seasons. What could be in his not-too-distant future is a contract like the ones Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane signed with the Chicago Blackhawks: $84 million over eight years.

Kevin couldn’t believe what the backhoe operator was telling him: he might have a residential oil tank buried in his back yard! Two years ago, Kevin purchased his house from the original homeowner. All was good….until his first spring introduced him to a leaky basement. Next spring, leaks again, so he called a contractor. The best source of action and prevention was to excavate to below the footings, seal the foundation with membrane, install drain rock and drain tile, then backfill ensuring the grade ran away from the house.

ground.) According to the Ministry of Environment, “if you buy a home with a heating oil tank, knowingly, or not, you become potentially liable for any future cleanup costs.” This was certainly news to Kevin, and not good. In fact, he hadn’t received disclosure about an oil tank from either the homeowner or his home inspection.

Under his contractor’s advice, Kevin called his insurance company, checked out the Ministry of Environment’s website (and called the local office), and spoke to a company that deals with oil tank removal. The insurance company was clear, the tank had While digging, the backhoe operator came to go (they viewed it as a high risk and if it across an old oil line remained and Kevin had and vent pipe and was a claim, the claim could concerned it was to a be disallowed).

Kootenay broadband plan sets 2016 target for rural areas Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star

Photo submitted

Three-year-old Zoey Shagar-Massie will need 28 operations in the next 14 years after being born with a bone-growth disorder.

Columbia Valley fundraises for little girl with rare disorder Ste ve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer

The Columbia Valley is rallying around a former Canal Flats girl who suffers from a rare genetic, bonegrowth disorder. Zoey Shagar-Massie was diagnosed with Jeune Syndrome, or Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy, not long after being born in November 2010 to parents Shaylene Sagar and Glen Massie. The couple, who have since had a second daughter, used to live in Canal Flats, but now live in Cranbrook to be closer to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital, and say Zoey always wakes up with a smile on her face, despite her condition, which will see the young girl have 28 operations in the next 14 years. Zoey has to go to Calgary for an operation every six months, for about the next 14 years, until her skeleton stops growing. Just 125 cases of Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy have been recorded in the past 70 years. Zoey’s disorder means she has a small, bell-shaped chest that restricts

her lungs from expanding to full capacity. She had an eight-day stay in Vancouver Children’s Hospital not long after being born, and then several months later, after her oxygen levels became critically low, a seven-month stay at the Alberta Children’sHospital in Calgary, starting with a STARS airlift by helicopter from the Invermere hospital in June 2011. The first of what will be Zoey’s many surgeries was in October 2013, when surgeons placed a Vertical Expandable Prosthetic Titanium Rib (or VEPTR) in the right side of her back, which allows her lungs more room to breathe and will assist surgeons in growing her ribs. She had the left implant put in this April. The many surgeries yet to come will be to expand Zoey’s VEPTR rods as she grows, giving her lungs ever more room to expand. For information on how to donate to help Zoey and her family with expenses related to trips to Calgary, contact Windermere’s Whitehouse Pub at 250-342-9540.

Cyclist sustains serious injuries For the Townsman

A 35-year old cyclist from Calgary has sustained serious injuries after being involved in a collision with a pickup truck. The collision occurred on the Windermere Loop Road, south of Invermere on July 22 at approximately 9:30 a.m.

The driver of the truck turned left, cutting off the cyclist, the cyclist braked but was unable to stop in time and struck the passenger side of the truck. The cyclist was taken to Invermere District Hospital where he was airlifted to the Foothills Trauma Unit in Calgary.

The extent of the injuries is unknown at this time. Police believe the glare of the sun may have been a factor in the collision; the cyclist was wearing a helmet. The collision is still under investigation by Columbia Valley RCMP and East Kootenay Traffic Services.

A Columbia Basin Trust subsidiary wants broadband Internet available within two years to 80 per cent of households in the region who can’t access it now. “It’s a pretty ambitious goal,” says Rob Gay, who chairs both the Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation’s regional committee and the Regional District of East Kootenay. “We want that at an affordable price, although we haven’t defined affordable yet. We see broadband as another service like water or sewer. It’s something residents want.” Gay says providing broadband (five megabits per second or better) to rural areas is intended to help economic development, stop the outflow of jobs from the region by retaining existing businesses and attracting new ones, and provide greater access to telemedicine and education. “We won’t get to every rural community. If you’re at the end of a road, satellite may be your only option. But where there are little groups of homes, we’ll be able to provide them with an opportunity.” Attaining the goal will involve working with existing Internet providers, rather than competing with them, Gay says. According to a planning document, both non and for-profit providers are “essential partners” in a regional strategy that already counts four regional districts and the Ktunaxa First Nation as partners.

Greg Nesteroff Photo

Rob Gay told the Regional District of Central Kootenay last week that by 2016, the Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation wants broadband available to 80 per cent of those who can’t access it now. Industry Canada is expected to issue a call for proposals this fall for funding to subsidize broadband networks in rural areas, as it has for several years running. Gay says Columbia Basin Broadband is available to help local providers prepare a joint proposal that meets the federal government’s expectations and make “strategic investments” such as erecting towers. In a presentation last week to the Regional District of Central Kootenay, Gay said they will also be mapping areas that lack

broadband. While his group doesn’t object to big telecommunications companies servicing rural areas, in some cases those firms can’t or won’t. “If they would do it, we wouldn’t be in this business,” he said. “Government doesn’t need to be in this business, but we are because the last mile is very difficult.” The Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation was created in 2011 to acquire the assets of the now-defunct Columbia Mountain Open Network.

NDP ‘wrong’ on university pay claims Jeff Nagel Black Press

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk says the NDP is wrong in its claims that more B.C. universities have paid senior executives more than permitted under salary caps set by the province. The NDP obtained salary cap details for three universities – Capilano University, the University of the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island University – and said reported compensation paid to 14 executives at the schools exceeded their caps by a total of more than $1.1 million over three years. Financial disclosures show the three universities paid their presidents between $230,000 and $245,000 in the last year – more in each case than their $225,000 caps, according to the NDP. “What is the point in having caps in the first place if they’re basically meaningless and you’re not going to enforce them?” asked NDP advanced education critic David Eby. The Public Sector Employers’ Council, which enforces the policy, has since refused to disclose

pay caps for other B.C. post-secondary institutions, prompting the Opposition to accuse Virk of covering up further violations in the wake of a recent probe of overpayments at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. But in a statement emailed by his office, Virk said in a the caps on presidents’ total compensation do not apply to other senior post-secondary executives, who are instead subject to a salary range approved by PSEC. Those ranges don’t include additional benefits and pension, which he said the NDP mistakenly counted in its calculations, adding about 20 per cent. Virk also said total compensation for presidents can fluctuate year to year due to higher benefit and pension costs beyond the employer’s control, and due to one-time payments such as unused vacation payouts. “The critic’s misinterpretation is intended to make it appear that these individuals are being paid outside the compensation they should be paid,” he said. Virk said institution board chairs have given signed confir-

mations that that executive compensation was paid out in line with approved plans. Virk previously faced calls to resign for his role before being elected MLA as a director on the board of Kwantlen, where an investigation found extra $50,000 signing bonuses under the guise of consulting fees were made to the president and vice-president to circumvent their pay caps. Virk has admitted he erred in agreeing to the payments in 201012, saying he wasn’t properly informed of the rules. Virk told Eby in a May 27 letter that the precise caps on public sector pay aren’t made public so they don’t become a negotiating floor on salary when governing boards are in talks to hire new executives. Eby said continued secrecy around pay caps gives the appearance of a minister unwilling to properly enforce rules that he himself has broken. He said the situation is a mess because some schools have observed the caps, Kwantlen sought to hide extra payments and others “blatantly” spent more.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Focus on what is important to you. Your intuitive side will help you appreciate a loved one. An opportunity that taps into your creativity could arise. How can you say “no”? Tension is likely to build around a decision you need to make. Tonight: Head home early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your sense of direction will make a big difference in a meeting where others are unusually idealistic. You seem to be unusually secure right now. Take a leap of faith with a personal or domestic matter. As a result, you’ll gain a sudden insight. Tonight: Anchor in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pressure from someone you look up to could force you to move in a direction that you would prefer to avoid. Use caution when making a purchase for someone else. Keep a conversation moving, but make as few comments as possible.

Tonight: In the limelight. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A friend will help you solidify an idea and make it more realistic. The unexpected might occur as you deal with a loved one who is difficult. Avoid a power play, and you will shock the other party. Be careful -- you both have the same interest. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Though you have a lot of energy, you might opt to play it low-key. A partner or associate understands where you are coming from. Use care with someone you meet for the first time. This person easily could be different than he or she projects. Tonight: Not to be found. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A loved one will understand where you are coming from. Zero in on a goal that might involve a female or a heartfelt desire. You could be surprised by the actions of someone close to you. Tonight: A conversation could be more difficult than you realize. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Someone is likely to express his or her appreciation for your efforts. This person might want and expect more from you. It will be necessary to establish some boundaries. A loved one or a partner could be full of surprises. Tonight: Try to call it an early night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You hold yourself back often because of your unwillingness to reveal more of your feelings. Relax, and take on the perspective of someone who is not involved. You’ll see where you might be coming up short. Tonight: Let your imagination drift. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your take on a situation is different from many people. You are willing to do whatever is necessary to make it work. Optimism surrounds a trip or a workshop. Maintain a positive attitude, and ignore the uproar that might be close by. Tonight: Opt for togetherness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others continue to seek you out. You are prepared to have an important discussion with

someone. Once you have this talk, both of you will have much to celebrate. What you feared might be difficult will turn out to be a piece of cake. Tonight: Sort through your invitations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Throw yourself into a project that you feel you must get done in order to feel better. You often get overwhelmed. Good news comes will come to you through others. Someone you meet today could be very special to you ultimately. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tap into your creativity, whether you’re in a conversation or simply handling a problem. Some people might be amazed by your imagination and its results. Certainly, a wonderful idea or two will surface. You’ll add color to any situation. Tonight: Let some romance in.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married to “Sherman” for 10 years. It’s a second marriage for both of us, and together, we have five children. The problem is my in-laws. They are nice people and would do anything for us. However, I think they are jealous that I have a good relationship with my grandchild, while they don’t get to see theirs that often. My daughter-in-law works full time and goes to school at night. Why shouldn’t I help her out? But whenever I babysit, either my in-laws or my husband makes some snarky remark. They also seem to think our yard belongs to them. They plant bushes on my lawn because “they were on sale.” And Sherman will automatically defend his mother if I stand up for myself. He never does this for me. I have started to distance myself from my in-laws, and I resent Sherman’s defense of his mother when she says something unkind. I have asked him to go for counseling, but he says, “I don’t have a problem.” Any suggestions? -- Fed Up Dear Fed Up: Your problem is Sherman. When he doesn’t defend you to his parents, they think it is perfectly OK to continue making unkind remarks and overstepping boundaries. He is perfectly content to leave things as they are. But he DOES have a problem: His marriage is in trouble. If Sherman refuses to go for counseling, please go without him. Learn what you are willing to tolerate, whether you can effect change with your in-laws and how to communicate your needs more clearly. Dear Annie: Please help make young women aware of uterine cancer. My 29-year-old daughter was diagnosed with stage-four uterine cancer last September. Some physicians think because you are young, you can’t have cancer. This is not true. My daughter’s symptoms were irregular bleeding and severe pelvic pain. The doctors kept prescribing birth control pills or hormones. After several years, several physicians and several medications, she finally saw an ob/ gyn at the University of Louisville who did a biopsy of her uterus -- and then we received the devastating news. She was treated aggressively and is fighting every day to get better. She is such an inspiration. She had surgery several months ago, and they removed all the cancer in her abdominal cavity. But she still has it in two inoperable lymph nodes in her chest and is taking chemo. If this story will help just one person or physician take that extra step, maybe another young woman won’t have to go through what my daughter has. P.S.: Since I started this letter, I have learned that my daughter’s cancer has spread again. I beg you to get the word out. -- Louisville, Ky. Dear Louisville: Our hearts our breaking for you. Uterine cancer (also known as endometrial cancer) is most common in women over 55 years old, so doctors don’t often consider this when they first see a younger patient with symptoms. But if you believe something is wrong, be persistent. Doctors aren’t infallible. Risk factors include endometrial overgrowth (hyperplasia), obesity, women who have never had children, periods beginning before age 12, menopause after age 55, estrogen therapy and a family history of the disease. Common signs are abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain with urination and sex, and pelvic pains. The National Cancer Institute (1-800-4-CANCER) offers a free booklet at cancer.gov. Dear Annie: This is for “Wish I Could Turn Back Time.” I, too, am 63 years old. Twenty-five years ago, I was convicted of a nonviolent felony. I did not go to prison. I had a job for many years with great reviews and was liked by management. When they started a program to fingerprint everyone, I was let go. In California, a felony cannot be expunged. Once you make a very bad decision, as I did, you are NEVER forgiven. -- California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries Mary Louise Carmichael (nee Gordon)

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Mary Louise Carmichael (nee Gordon) on Friday July 18, 2014. Mary died peacefully, surrounded by her family at Royal Inland Hospital. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her husband of 45 years, Brian, and her children Colin (Heather) and Mathew. Mary was born in Cranbrook BC in 1944, to James and Ann Gordon. Along with five brothers (Dennis, Jack, Alan, Ian, Jim) and one sister (Noreen), Mary was raised in a loving family full of faith, friendship, and support. She leaves her sister, Noreen Kennedy, brothers Dennis (Mary Anne), Jack (Beth), and Alan (Karen), and sisters-in-law Catherine Gordon and Sandi Gordon. She also leaves behind beloved nephews and nieces, cousins, and friends. Nothing made Mary happier than spending time with her family. She both loved to hear a good story and to spin one herself. She will always be remembered for her generosity, her warmth, her wonderful sense of humour, and her fantastic laugh. A celebration of Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will take place Saturday, July 26, 2014 at Schoening Funeral Home in Kamloops, B.C. at 2 p.m., followed by a reception. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Blanche Verna Siemens Mom was born Blanche Verna Schmor into the loving family of Herman and Nettie (Peters) Schmor in the small Mennonite town of Hepburn, Saskatchewan on August 16, 1925. Mom was the fourth of seven children born to Herman and Nettie. Mom passed away on July 22, 2014 at the FW Green Home, Cranbrook. Mom married the love of her life, Ruben Siemens (also a Hepburn boy), on September 30, 1944. After Dad was discharged from the Army Mom and Dad moved to the Fraser Valley where Mom remained for the next 65 years. Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three boys were born in BC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David (1947), Laird (1953) and Mark (1955). Mom moved to the FW Green Home in Cranbrook in 2011. Mom was a great mother and she was an even better mother-in-law. However, she was best at being a grandmother â&#x20AC;&#x201C; playing in the sandbox with her grandchildren while she was still dressed in her Sunday church clothes. Mom loved being Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife (they were planning their 50th wedding anniversary when Dad died), loved animals of all sorts especially horses and loved throwing parties for family and friends. Mom was predeceased by her parents, by Dad in 1993 and by brother Marvin and sisters Pearl and Jennifer.

The family thanks the staff at the Green Home for their tender loving care of Mom these past three years and especially these last few days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you were very kind and compassionate. Your kindness to Mom and the family will never be forgotten. Also, the family thanks all the musicians that came to play at the Green Home. Mom loved music and you made her final years enjoyable. A special thank you goes to Dr. Wanda Marlatt for taking such a special interest in Mom â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your tenderness will never be forgotten.

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

Mom loved much and was loved much â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she loved her parents, sisters and brothers; she loved her nieces and nephews; Mom loved Ruben beyond measure; she loved her sons and especially loved the three daughters they brought into the family; Mom loved and reveled in her grandchildren and her great-granddaughters. Most of all, Mom loved her Lord, Jesusâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Śand maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we loved her so much. Thanks for everything, Mom.

Services in Cranbrook and Abbotsford will occur at a later date.

Vivian ElizabethÂ Oakley February 22,1928 July 15, 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are visitors on this planet. We are here for one hundred years at the very most. During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. If you contribute to other peoples happiness, you will find the true meaning of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dalai Lama X1V Vivian Oakley lived a complete life, full of vitality and good health. As a professional nurse, wife and mother of five children, she touched the lives and contributed to the happiness of others throughout her life. She had a calmÂ compassionate â&#x20AC;&#x153;wayâ&#x20AC;? about her - sheÂ truly lived the wise words of the Dalai Lama. Vivian grew up in St. Boniface, Manitoba and uponÂ graduating from nursing school, headed west to work as a registered nurse. Her travels and adventurous spirit eventually brought her to Kimberley where she worked at the Kimberley and District Hospital as an RN. Her arrival in town prompted a quickÂ â&#x20AC;&#x153;heads-upâ&#x20AC;? phone call to Pat Oakley from Sam Wormington. After a whirlwind romance, Vivian Benoit married Pat Oakley and their amazing life journeyÂ began. Throughout her life Vivian supported her children and grandchildren inÂ any endeavour and encouraged an active lifestyleÂ in sports and outdoor pursuits.Â Vivian loved to figure skate. Vivian enjoyed livingÂ in the mountains and truly appreciatedÂ being surrounded by the good people in Kimberley. Celebrating her life well lived are her children Alison (Chris), Darryl (Karen), Claire (Gary), Peter (Carmen) and Sharon (Kevin); her grandchildren Kailey, Logan, Patti, Bryn, Shawn (Katy), Scott, Sarah, Jonah and Avril, and Vivianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Mary (Will). To anyoneÂ who connected with mom during her lifeÂ THANK YOU ! We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Garden View Village in Kimberley and Joseph Creek Care Village in Cranbrook for supporting mom in living her final years well. A private memorial service will be held at a later date. A mass will be dedicated to Vivian at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Kimberley at a later date.

OMAHA, Neb. — A Nebraska couple chose an unusual venue for their wedding: the largest cemetery in Omaha. Janyl Jumadinova and Oliver Bonham-Carter exchanged vows Saturday in Forest Lawn Cemetery. They were surrounded by family, friends and more than 100,000 souls buried in the 349acre cemetery. The bride, who is from Kyrgyzstan, said her culture holds a firm belief in spirits. Some of the

groom’s ancestors are buried in the cemetery, the Omaha World-Herald (http://bit.ly/1nQEe9W ) reported. “It’s not at all creepy,” Bonham-Carter said. “We have thousands of witnesses — both alive and dead!” The couple married earlier this year in a small ceremony in Pennsylvania, but they wanted to hold another wedding so friends and family could bear witness. Relatives of the couple travelled more than 6,000 miles from

three different continents to attend. The ceremony took place in an ornate 101-year-old chapel decorated with granite, marble, brass, stained glass and mosaic tiles. It was designed by John McDonald, an Omaha architect who helped construct Joslyn Castle and the Joslyn Art Museum with his son Alan. McDonald, his wife and son are interred in the walls of his Forest Lawn Cemetery chapel.

Restrictions on transporting firearms to be eased under federal proposal C ANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Harper government says it will introduce legislation this fall to ease restrictions on transporting firearms while making firearms-safety courses mandatory for first-time

gun owners. The changes were announced by federal Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney at shooting range in northern Ontario. Under the government’s proposed Common Sense Firearms Li-

censing Act, gun owners who allow their weapon permits to lapse will be given a grace period to renew them. While their permits are expired, firearms owners would not be allowed to buy new guns or ammunition, but would no longer face possible jail time as a result of the expiry. The government also plans to combine two licences currently needed to own and use fire-

arms — the possession and acquisition licences. Blaney said that, once the law is passed, there will be just one licence required. The proposed legislation would also see Ottawa take on powers currently held by some provincial authorities. Under the proposed law, gun owners would be permitted to transport weapons as part of their firearms licence. Currently, gun owners in Ontario, Quebec and P.E.I. have to apply to their provincial chief firearms officer when they want to transport a restricted or prohibited weapon. Blaney also announced Wednesday his department is extending the amnesty for owners of Swiss Arms and CZ 858 rifles. The Mounties prohibited the rifles earlier this year, an action that Blaney said turned law-abiding citizens into criminals overnight.
