Bountiful polygamy charges approved TRE VOR CR AWLEY Daily Townsman

A special prosecutor with the Criminal Justice Branch approved criminal charges against four individuals associated with Bountiful on Wednesday. Peter Wilson approved the charges, which allege polygamy and the unlawful removal of children under the age of 16 years from Canada with the intention that an act committed outside Canada would be an offence against section 151 (sexual interference) or 152 (invitation to sexual touching) of the Criminal Code. Winston Blackmore and James Oler both face charges of polygamy, while Oler also faces a charge for the alleged unlawful removal of a child from Canada. Additionally, Brandon Blackmore

and Emily Crossfield each face a charge for alleged unlawful removal of a child from Canada. The charges were sworn in Cranbrook while first appearance is anticipated to be on Oct. 9th, 2014, in Creston. The new charges come on the revelation of new evidence after the RCMP received a large volume of documentation seized by U.S. authorities after investigations into members of the Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints in Arizona, Texas and Utah. Wilson received two RCMP reports to Crown Counsel in July 2013 and and January 2014, with some of the material based on evidence that had been considered in earlier charges against Blackmore and Oler.

In 1948, the Kimberley tailing dam was breached

News coverage may not have been as dramatic as for this year’s Mt. Polley Mine incident, but C. Kirvin and S. Macri were caught in the torrent for a wild ride. BARRY COULTER, C AROLYN GR ANT, AND DAVE HUMPHREY

The most active item in the provincial news cycle these days is the breach of the tailings pond at the the Mount Polley gold and copper mine, near Likely, B.C. On August 4, 2014, a section of the gravel and earth dam collapsed, and millions of cubic metres of water and finely ground up rock containing potentially toxic metals spewed into Hazeltine Creek, Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake. Data is still coming in as to the environmental effects, and any reper-

cussions politically or for the mining industry are yet to be determined Sixty-six years ago, a remarkably similar event to place in Kimberley, with the breach of the tailing pond for the Sullivan Mine, located above Marysville. “The C.M.&S. Co. Sullivan Mine has been forced to curtail its operations due to a break in the wall of the tailing pond at the ore mill,” the Cranbrook Courier reported on March 4, 1948.

Ranchers meet with Agriculture Minister Trish Barnes For The Townsman

The Kootenay Livestock Association hosted Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick on a field tour on Wednesday. The group toured sites in the Agricultural Land Reserve, which included an ecosystem restoration treatment area near Cranbrook. Letnick was in town as part of his Summer Farm Tour. “I want public input on Bill 24,” he said. “I’m encouraging people to learn about it and comment on it via our website.” Bill 24 proposes some changes the B.C. Agricultural Land Commission Act. Deadline for comment is August 22, 2014 at engage.gov.bc.ca/ landreserve. Letnick also announced his Ministry’s goal to help B.C. farmers, ranchers and food producers increase

overall revenue to $14 billion per year by 2017. (Revenue is just under $12 billion per year currently.) “I’m asking ranchers and farmers how we can do that,” Letnick said. Kootenay Livestock president Randy Reay, along with past president Jordy Thibeault shared ideas with the minister, as did representatives from the Trench ER Program and the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council. Dan Murphy, representing the Trench ER Program, told the minister it is cheaper to maintain restored grasslands than to re-thin sites that have grown in again. “If we treat only our core grassland areas, we’ll need to maintain 63,000 hectares over the long term,” Murphy said. “To do that, we’d need about half a million dollars per year. “About 50 per cent,

we hope to maintain with spring and fall prescribed burns, the other 50 per cent would be by slashing “If we do not maintain some of these areas, we’ll have to start over again on re-treating areas—at a cost of between two and a quarter to three and three-quarter million dollars per year.” Both livestock and wildlife in the Trench rely on grasslands and open forests to thrive. Letnick is continuing his tour of the province. “I’m meeting with people in coffee shops, around farmhouse tables and on field trips from Cranbrook to Fort St. John,” he said. KLA president Randy Reay said “We’re glad Minister Letnick came out to hear the concerns of East Kootenay ranchers. We hope to work more closely with him in the future.”

Paws forward for the show dogs Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

It’s time to get out your leashes and dog combs because the Cranbrook and District Kennel Club is having its 41st annual Championship Shows and Obedience Trials. The year’s events take place at Moir Park from Aug. 22-24. Dogs and handlers will be competing in the events coming from Canada and the U.S. Organizers say that many of the top show dogs in Canada will be in attendance. Judges for this year’s competition will be coming from Clinton, Utah, Mexico, Coldwater, Ontario, Victoria and Edmonton. Over 155 dogs are registered for the Saturday, which is the biggest day, said Margie Leopold, show chair. “This year we’re having for the first time Scent Hurdling,” Leopold said. “We have I think four teams coming in from B.C. and Alberta. That’s going to be on Saturday as well. It’s a team race where they go over hurdles. They have to pick out their

It’s like a relay race with four on a team.” Other events include conformation, obedience, rally obedience trials, junior handling, and canine good neighbour test on Thursday evening, Aug. 22. This is open to all dogs in the community, not just

purebreds. “There will be all breeds of dogs coming,” she said. “This was our 41st year, so 41 years of dog shows in Cranbrook. We hope to keep going, but we’re a non-profit organization, so it’s tough. We rely on making enough money to support our next year

show.” She said entries are down this year, as they are across North America. “All the dog show entries are down all over Canada and the United States,” she said. “With the economy we’ve had, people don’t have the money this year to show their dogs. This year has been a year where everyone’s been down on entries.” The show dates are Friday, Saturday and Sunday Aug. 22-24. Start times are 8 a.m., and Friday and Saturday events will likely go to 3 p.m. On Sunday it will likely finish about 2 p.m. Entries for conformation close Aug. 6. There will be Day of Show entries for Obedience and Rally Obedience, but it’s suggested that you enter before Aug. 7 as the fee is slightly lower.

1948 breach carried away Kirvin and Macri Continued from page 1 “Waste products from the mill, contained in the pond, broke the wall and washed out the railway track and power line connecting the mine and the mill. The break was due to the recent thaw, which loosened the frozen sludge, causing it to press against the wall, finally breaking it.” The incident occurred in the afternoon of Tuesday, March 2, 1948. The Courier reported that three guards, “whose names are not yet available, barely escaped death when the wall gave way. The three men were on the sludge when the wall collapsed, but managed to jump to safety.” The flood knocked out power to Kimberley, Chapman Camp and the mine itself. “Men changing shifts

(at the mine) had perforce to walk out of the mine when transportation failed,” the Courier reported. The March 4 edition added that the operations were expected to resume with the next 36 hours. One week later, the Courier carried the harrowing tale of two men who were caught in the flood itself, and carried three quarters of a mile downstream, dodging debris, live flailing electrical wire, and, of course, drowning. “Two local men, C. Kirvin and S. Macri, had a narrow escape from death last Tuesday (March 2, 1948) when the tailing dam above Marysville burst. The men were at work when the rupture occurred, and were carried about three quarters of a mile before they were able to

extricate themselves. “Holding first to pieces of the broken launder (which is used for carrying the tailings from the mill in a liquid state), then to oxidized muck, and finally to huge pieces of ice, the men managed to work their way to shore. “At one time Mr. Kirvin was completely submerged and was only able to save himself when two blocks of ice came close to him, enabling him to clamber up between them. “The men suffered no ill effects from their ordeal. Their greatest danger lay in the fact that they were directly under a power line when it came down, barely escaping the live wires.” A 2006 article in CIM magazine mentions the incident. “During the early years of concentrator operation, tailings

effluent was discharged into Cow Creek. A dyke failure in 1948 resulted in a large volume of tailings filling the creek leaving long-lasting contamination. By the late 1990s, a substantial improvement was achieved. Approximately 318,000 tonnes of tailings and contaminated soil were removed from the creek, and was replaced with clean sand and gravel.” Today, the tailings ponds are mostly grass covered after clean fill was placed on top of ponds, but still monitored. They stretch from Chapman Camp behind the old Concentrator site to above Marysville. After almost a century of operations, the Sullivan Mine was closed at the end of 2001, leaving about 94,000,000 tonnes of tailings and 16,900,000 tonnes of

mine waste, according to a paper entitled “Closure Of The Sullivan Mine Tailings Facility.” “Reclamation work on the tailings areas has been ongoing since 1990,” the report says.

”Drainage Water Treatment Plant (DWTP), which began operating in 1979, will continue to operate for the foreseeable future as part of the post-closure water management plan for the

site, to treat acid rock drainage produced from the underground mine and waste storage facilities.” That treatment plant continues to operate today.

Polygamy charges approved Continued from page 1 Those charges were thrown out in 2009 after a judge ruled that former B.C. Attorney General Wally Oppal did not have the authority to appoint a third special prosecutor after the previous two recommended against approving charges. Wilson declined to approve other criminal

charges, namely alleged offences of sexual exploitation after determining the standard for approving charges had not been met. Wilson was sworn in as a special prosecutor in January 2012 with a mandate to offer legal advice to police during their investigation of in-

dividuals associated with Bountiful and assess the possible prosecution of sexual exploitation and the alleged offences against minors in the community. Two weeks later, his role was expanded to include consideration of potential offences under the polygamy provisions of the criminal code.

Tired but triumphant ball hockey team breaks record for longest game Canadian Press

NANAIMO, B.C. — A group of exhausted players in Nanaimo, B.C., spent Tuesday night in their own beds after scoring what they hope is a world record for the longest street hockey game. Organizer Tali Camp-

bell says the 40 players faced off at 8 a.m. Friday morning and didn’t stop until late Tuesday — 105 hours and 44 minutes. Campbell says that’s 27 minutes longer than the previous record. He says players slept in three-hour shifts and were supported by an

army of volunteers including score and time keepers, kitchen staff and fund raisers. Two players needed hospital treatment for minor injuries suffered during the marathon game, but otherwise, the event went off without a hitch. The game raised money for several charities.

Timor the Lame got things done “Any organization that doesn’t allow its shibboleths to be shaken from time to time will atrophy.” J.K. Nestruck Whenever I spot yet another deer ravaging the carefully tended plants in my garden¸ my also fertile mind turns to the infamous Tamerlane, or Timor the Lame. He, I am informed, was a Turko-Mongol product of Genghis Khan and he ordered the deaths of an awful lot of people as his horde rampaged across central Asia about 700 years ago. Whenever Timor’s armies surrounded a town, he’d send envoys to demand a surrender and then, should the townsfolk prove recalcitrant (i.e. foolhardy), the army would lay siege and starve out the citizenry. Then, when the walls were finally breeched, Timor would haul out the mayor or whatever and force him to watch while the horde stole everything of value, killed every living thing and then buried the town until it looked like a lifeless anthill. He’d then send an escort with the mayor with his eyes burned out to the next town with a suggestion as to how that lot should react to Timor’s less-than-polite requests. In other words, Tamerlane got things done.

One of Tamerlane’s less than successful endeavours was in Samarkand which was over-run with beggars. People from all over the country came to prosperous Samarkand and there begged for some sort of subsistence in the streets. One day, Timor, probably more vexed than usual by his lameness, ordered his vizier — a high official and general dogsbody — to get rid of the nuisances, tout de suite. This vizier was no dummy; when the ChiPeter nese started building that Warland great wall in an effort to keep his people, the Mongols, out, it was he who invented the ladder, so he wracked his brains. With his own life dangling from a thread much finer than one of those silk ones from the east, he had to come up with something. His first idea was to bring in the hordes, who were herders at heart, to harry the beggars and chase them from the city. This worked for one day, then the beggars drifted back. He next attempted to castrate all of the beggar males. The females revelled in the freedom from continual pregnancies but then, bored, took to drifting off to the camps of the hordes where, naturally, they reproduced and so, having to feed their infants, sneaked back to town where there were better pickings. The desperate vizier then began a scheme whereby legitimate beggars

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

would be fed from the city’s storehouses and thus relieved of the necessity to beg for food, but the indignant townsfolk quickly caught on; they too quit working and became beggars themselves. The vizier began to panic. He ordered his advisors to put their heads together or those same heads would be added to the pyramids of skulls rising beyond the city walls. However, he listened to the sob stories of the ‘beggar sympathizers’, who protested any cruelty to those in need, and made a proclamation. Only those beggars with injuries that prevented them from working would be fed from the city stores. All other beggars must leave on pain of death. It is amazing what people did to themselves in order to stay in the city and be fed. It became a competition to see who could mutilate himself the most. They had championships. At last, Timor fired the vizier (probably nastily without a retirement pension) and ordered his troops to take all of the beggars out for a walk and then behead them. He then had the skulls of the deceased made into towers – he apparently enjoyed that sort of thing – and as the vizier’s skull was placed, (using one of his ladders) on the summit of the tallest tower rising ghoulishly on the plain, the bloodied executioners were passed by streams of potential new beggars on their way into the temporarily beggar-free town. You can’t win them all, as any vizier or city councillor will tell you.

Slaughter

I like to think of myself as a proud Canadian, but I was ashamed of my citizenship when six Canadian Parliamentarians flew to Israel recently to show solidarity for Israel’s terrible slaughter of Palestinian women and children. The Canadian politicians — three Harper Conservative MPs, two Trudeau Liberal MPs and a Liberal Senator — attended a “Canada-Israel Solidarity Rally” at a Jerusaleum hotel recently. It was shameful that these politicians purported to represent Canadians. I want it known that they do not represent me nor do they represent Canadian values. When it came time to toast Canada-Israel solidarity at that hotel gala, I wonder what they found to toast with? The blood of Palestinian children? Peter Moody Kimberley

Kudos to the four young girls who wrote letters to City Council asking for a bylaw to allow the raising of chickens within City limits. It was nice of Council members to be so gracious and supportive about their initiative to write these letters. That is not the issue! There have been newspaper articles in cities such as Calgary and Vancouver, which confirm the social problems created by the raising of chickens in backyards. There is continual bickering and fighting between neighbours.

These cities do not have the wild animal populations which create additional problems here. Cougars, coyotes, skunks and other predators are already within Cranbrook city limits to prey on cats and deer. How can you even entertain the idea of adding chickens to their diets? The local SPCA is dealing with abandoned dogs and cats which people thought they wanted. How are they going to deal with the chickens when they are handed over or caught running loose in the City? The research has already been done and does not warrant anything further by City Council. Retire this issue and get on with the more pressing business you should be dealing regarding various City matters. Our roads are in a deplorable state and you budget only $123,000 for pothole repair? City Council has budgeted and is spending approximately $126,000 for removal of asbestos from the old Fire Hall; $200,000 for re-doing the Clocktower Square. They already spent $74,000 on eleven benches on the five streets along 14th Avenue South. That 14th Avenue development has narrow intersections, an unwarranted pathway overrun with weeds and an ugly bioswale system which was uneffective and did not function properly during the big rainstorms in May. These are only some of the examples of the poor ideas presented and accepted by our City Council that are costing many dollars. I must remind this City Council that they were elected by the residents and taxpayers of Cranbrook to represent them and vote on what best serves the interests

of that majority. They should not be voting for their own personal preferences or their own special interest groups. Lee Pratt Cranbrook

Municipal Affairs

When I first became involved in municipal government the direction from the Province to the municipalities came from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. This situation existed for many years. The municipalities and regional districts, in order to have their voice heard in Victoria, formed the Union of BC Municipalities. This organization was designed to do much of the lobbying on behalf of the municipalities and regional districts. During the past several years the Ministry of Municipal Affairs has quietly been downsized to the point of practically not existing and the job of giving out services normally performed by the Ministry is now performed by the UBCM. The result of this is that the UBCM has lost its clout because rather than primarily representing the municipalities and regional districts the UBCM is now representing the Province. Last year the municipalities and regional districts in BC paid $1,136,096 to the UBCM in membership fees. This is a lot of money to pay to an organization which represents the province more than it represents the municipalities and regional districts. Angus Davis Councillor, City of Cranbrook

New EI claims put on hold C anadian Press

OTTAWA — An error in the jobs report issued last week by Statistics Canada has resulted in a freeze on new employment insurance claims. A government official says the processing of new EI claims is being put on hold until the agency fixes the mis-

take. On Tuesday, Statistics Canada said it found an error in its July Labour Force Survey, and that it would issue a revised report on Friday. The Aug. 8 report said Canada created just 200 jobs in July and that 35,400 people had stopped looking for

work. Prior to the release, economists had predicted that 20,000 jobs had been found during the month. The monthly jobs report is used to determine regional unemployment rates, which directly impact the number of weeks an unemployed person needs

First Nations band evicts company that owns Mt Polley tailings pond C a na dian Pres s

CHASE — A First Nations band in British Columbia has issued an eviction notice to the company that owns the Mount Polley tailings pond, which spilled millions of cubic metres of waste in the Cariboo region. The Neskonlith are urging Imperial Metals Corp. to leave their land, which is in the Thompson Okanagan region, about 48 kilometres east of Kamloops near the village of Chase. Imperial Metals is surveying a 211-square-kilometre area for zinc and lead for a project called the Ruddock Creek mine, which is unrelated to the Mount Polley mine. The band issued a statement say-

ing the group will not permit any mining development that would contaminate water or destroy salmon habitat, as elders do not want the area poisoned. The band says it opposes the Ruddock Creek Mine because Imperial Metals failed to protect First Nations land when the Mount Polley tailings pond breached. Imperial Metals did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Neskonlith was not directly affected by the Mount Polley breach, but it is one of 17 bands that form the Secwepemc First Nation, some of which were affected by the accident.

to have worked in order to qualify for EI benefits. An official in Employment Minister Jason Kenney’s office, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter,

said the freeze is not expected to add to the time it takes to process claims. There is a minimum two week delay between the time someone applies for EI and when they receive benefits.

B.C. to boost lumber trade with China with new deal C anadian Press

VICTORIA — British Columbia and a Chinese jurisdiction have signed a memorandum of understanding to use more of the province’s lumber for wood-frame construction. Cement construction is much more common in China, but officials in Zhejiang province have agreed to promote the use of wood in the construction of tourism facilities, resorts and multi-family residential housing. The memorandum calls for the two governments to promote use of wood-frame construction, develop timber construction codes and standards in China and organize exchange-of-knowledge visits between the provinces. Forests Minister Steve Thomson says the deal will encourage the Chinese province to set aside land for low-density housing. The minister says the value of wood exports to China this year is up 6.6 per cent, and in 2013, B.C. exported a record $1.4 billion worth of lumber to the country.

Lake-born labour of love Cranbrook wakeboarder chases glory at national championships in Ontario Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Colden Thompson is off to the Canadian National Wakeboard Championships in Bala, Ont. where he will represent Cranbrook and the Waterski and Wakeboard Association of Alberta (WSWA). “It’s awesome [to be representing Cranbrook and WSWA at nationals],” Thompson said over the phone Wednesday afternoon. “I’m really excited to see what will happen and see what’s out there.

The wakeboarder continued his winning ways at WSWA’s first event this season, Alberta Wake Tour Stop #1, taking top spot in open competition June 14 at Chestermere, Alta. Most recently, Thompson finished third in open competition at Alberta Wake Tour Stop #4, back in Chestermere July 26. Tie Lake, approximately 50 km southeast of Cranbrook, is where Thompson started teaching himself seven years ago. He continues to train there now.

“But I’m a little nervous because there’s a lot of riders, but I’m going to try my best.” Thompson’s competitive wakeboard career has been short, but full of promise thus far. The 17-year-old has only been riding competitively for one year, taking home first place in the Outlaw Division at the 2013 WSWA Provincial Championships. The Outlaw Division requires athletes to perform four to five inverts and/or spins over the course of their ride.

“I’ve been riding as much as I can when I’m off work,” Thompson said. “Weekends, I get up early and ride lots. “It’s what I love doing.” The Canadian National Wakeboard Championships begin today and run through Aug. 17 at Bush’s Watersports Park in Bala. Following the nationals, Thompson will head to Alix Lake, approximately 55 km northeast of Red Deer, for the 2014 WSWA Provincial Championships.

Colden Thompson begins his chase for national glory today in Bala, Ont.

PARIS — Magali Harvey scored the game-winning try and Canada advanced to the final of the women’s rugby World Cup with a tense 18-16 win over host France on Wednesday. Harvey ran the length

of the pitch to score Canada’s second try of the game six minutes into the second half. Her conversion gave Canada a seemingly comfortable 18-6 lead. It was the first try that France had surrendered at the tournament. Harvey, who earlier

Wednesday was named to the shortlist for the IRB Women’s Player of the Year award, kicked the conversion to give Canada a 12-point lead. But the French fought back and scored two late tries, and had they been able to convert them both it would

be the hosts and not Canada advancing to meet England in Sunday’s final. In Wednesday’s other semifinal, England beat Ireland 40-7. Canada and England played to a 13-13 tie earlier in the tournament.

A m a n d i n e Pierre-Louis, who got an ovation from her hometown crowd when she substituted in at the 60th minute for her first action of the tournament, started the play with a run down the right side. She crossed in for Nichelle Prince, who slipped the ball behind the defence to an unguarded Beckie at the

far post. “It was going through my head: ‘Don’t miss this,’ so I put it in and I was really excited,” said Beckie. Canada is hoping to get on the kind of roll it experienced in 2002, when a team led by Christine Sinclair made it to the final and drew a massive crowd at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium at what was then the world U-19 championship.

da-North Korea game, will be a formidable opponent. The Germans scored 12 goals in their three group stage games. “I don’t think we could be more ready,” said Beckie. “It’s just another team for us.” A scoreless first half saw North Korea control most of the play in the first 30 minutes, but there were good chances at both ends. Coach Andrew Olivieri’s side picked up the pace near the end of the half and nearly cashed in on an Emma Fletcher cross into the box. Olivieri said the match may have been less exciting for the 13,031 fans scattered about the 55,000-seat stadium than he hoped, but said the North Korean side did what they could to slow down the play and make it a low-scoring game. But the fans that showed up were noisy and the players could feel the support from the seats. Centreback Kadeisha Buchanan was named player of the match.

“I just wanted to go fast” Cranbrook’s Rebecca Bermel retires from competitive ski racing Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Dayne Aasland (left) and Justin Marsh (right) are off to Langley, B.C. this weekend.

EKTFC representing at Youth Track & Field Championships Submit ted

Two Cranbrook track athletes will represent the East Kootenay Track and Field Club at the Legion Youth Track and Field Championships in Langley, B.C. this weekend. Dayne Aasland and Justin Marsh will both compete in the pentathlon, which consists of 100-metre hurdles, long jump, shot put, high jump and the 1,000-metre run. The pentathlon is slated for Aug. 17 at 9:30 a.m. (Mountain). The East Kootenay Track and Field Club worked extremely hard

this year and came up with some excellent results. A number of athletes have had great success at the high school and club levels, breaking into provincial rankings and putting track and field on the map in Cranbrook and the East Kootenays. The track community across the province has been shown there are good things happening here. Results speak volumes this season and the East Kootenay Track and Field Club is looking to build off the successes of 2014 in order to carry the momentum into the 2015 season.

For as long as she can remember, Rebecca Bermel just wanted to go fast. After more than a decade of cruising the slopes, the 20-year-old ski racer from Cranbrook is slowing things down as she retires from competitive ski racing. Having started skiing at the tender young age of two, Bermel began racing when she was eight years old after her parents enrolled her in the Nancy Greene ski program at Kimberley Alpine Resort. “I just wanted to go fast from there,” Bermel said. “Little did they know that putting me in that program would make me go so far. “I’m going to miss the adrenaline and the speed, for sure…Carving the perfect turn, I can’t even explain the feeling.” Bermel retires having won the 2008 B.C. K2 Provincial women’s slalom title and notes logging the fastest women’s super-G time in the super combined competition at the 2011 Canada

Winter Games in Halifax as the greatest moment of her racing career. While life on the ski hill might slow down for Bermel, it is about to pick up pace in other ways as she heads off to the University of Lethbridge (U of L) in pursuit of a kinesiology degree this fall. “I’m excited for a new adventure,” Bermel said. “Everything Gord Wong Photo is going to be completely dif- After more than a decade on the slopes, Cranbrook’s Rebecca Bermel is retiring from ferent, com- ski racing to pursue a degree in kinesiology. pletely new.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of August 10-16 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1899 New buildings ... Counting buildings of all sorts, there is not a day passes without one or more being started in Cranbrook. In particularizing The Herald mentions those of the most substantial order, so outside readers must bear in mind that those costing well up in four figures only are mentioned and that many smaller ones are constantly in process of construction. A frame building, two stories, is being erected on Baker Street, opposite the Canadian Bank of Commerce, and is one of the better class; it was started by order of W. A. Hamilton, C. P. R. land commissioner, who pays the bills on demand with his own personal checks. It has been reported that the structure is for occupation by the Bank of Montreal. Upon being interrogated by the reporter V. Hyde Baker, local agent for the townsite company, would neither affirm nor deny the correctness of

the report. C. P. R. carpenters are doing the labour. Another two-story building, if not started by the time this is in print, will be very soon after; it will join the Cranbrook Hotel on the west, be 40x60 feet in dimension, and two stories in height; it will be frame, of the most substantial nature, and built by day labour. It will be for mercantile purposes and for rent. Mr. Baker’s belief in Cranbrook is greater than the length of his purse; this is his third large building here, and he will continue on that line as fast as he can dig up. Gov. Hanson’s new building is progressing as rapidly as money can make it and good workmanship will allow. The second story will be devoted mainly to furnished rooms - 14 or 16. As the governor will furnish them in the way he so well knows how to do, and Mrs. Mary Donahue have charge of them, they will have no need of recommendation from Excavation for the McInness building is nearing completion. 1899 A sign is an invitation ... A man in business should noti-

fy the people who come to town to trade. Strangers do not know what a man’s business is or where he is located. When he walks up the street he naturally looks for the sign. Fred Pieper is doing some excellent sign work. He paints signs that can be read on the run. If you have not a sign yet, see him. It will be money in your pocket. A great race on ... A race has been matched by Tom Wellman, of this city, and W. H. Barnes, of Fort Steele, with their horses, Homely Hank and Easter Lilly. The latter horse is the one the Fort Steele syndicate recently purchased in Montana. The race will be run in Cranbrook on August 30, for $100 a side. Considerable interest is shown in the event and the probability is that a big pile of money will change hands on the result. Come and see ... You should see the new porcelain bathtub at McFarlane’s barber shop. It is the only one of the kind in East Kootenay and the best equipment for heating. One can enjoy a bath with such modern conveniences.

Gaoled ... Annie Wood, better known in Cranbrook as “Big Annie,” is in durance vile at Nelson for sticking a stiletto into the liver of “Red” Macleod at Argenta a couple of weeks ago. 1900 Another Sawmill ... The pioneer lumbermen of Cranbrook, the Leitch Brothers, will have another mill cutting lumber before the week is closed, if it is not doing so already. It is located about five miles south of Cranbrook on the railroad, and will cut from 12,000 to 15,000 feet daily, making this company’s daily output from 40,000 to 50,000 feet daily. This mill is the original mill of the Cranbrook Lumber Co., reconstructed since the fire. Sidetracks have been built to the mill, and every convenience possible for facilitating work supplied. Arch. Leitch while east recently made a contract for 1,500,000 feet of lumber to be delivered within a few weeks; this means the employment of many more men in the timber and at the mills for a long time to come, and a general hustle on the part

of all hands. Stolen ... The agent at Crow’s Nest, a small station up the line, appears to have got into trouble, says the McLeod Gazette, It appears that some little time ago a car loaded with silverware went over a bridge and the agent and some other parties are accused of making away with some of the goods. The Herald is glad that the Gazette has published the above news item, as it gives this paper an opportunity to produce some facts that otherwise might not be given credence by an unsuspecting public. The carload of silverware mentioned by the Gazette was consigned to G. H. Gilpin’s wholesale silverware department in Cranbrook; the fact that silverware is required to supply the needs of Cranbrookers is confirmatory evidence of the wealth, refinement and luxurious tastes of our citizens, as well as the immense quantities of merchandise required to supply their needs; just as another verification of this latter fact, it might be mentioned that the Fort Steele Mercantile Company has en

route a carload of toothpicks for the Cranbrook hotel; Bremner & Sons a carload of table napkins for the Hotel Manitoba; Reid & Co. a carload of bar napkins for the Cosmopolitan, while George Wentworth will bring back with him a carload of toilet soap for use in his hotel, and Malcolm Mclnnes received yesterday a carload of sausage overcoats for use in his weiner-wurst factory, while Tate the jeweller has a carload of hair springs en route from Switzerland. These are only a few items indicative of the commerce of Cranbrook; of the coarser articles of merchandise, they are brought in by solid train-loads. New principal ... W. P. Achkon of Enderby the successor of John Ross as principal of the public schools in Cranbrook has arrived and assumed his duties. Hard labour ... Constable Lindsay, of Moyie, arrived in Cranbrook Tuesday with four vags in charge, who have entered the government service at Fort Steele for a few weeks; they weren’t hunting the job however.

Saskatchewan soldier mistakenly buried with enemy makes final journey home EASTEND, Sask. — A Saskatchewan-born soldier was laid to rest Wednesday in his home province, 70 years to the day after he was killed in northern France during the Second World War. Lawrence S. Gordon fought with U.S. forces, but his remains couldn’t be accounted for after his death. His nephew, Lawrence R. Gordon, discovered in 2000 that the remains were not interred where they should have been and later learned they had mistakenly been buried with German war dead. DNA tests conducted earlier this year helped identify the fallen soldier. They also allowed for repatriation of the remains to Canada and their

The Diabetes Wellness Centre at the Cranbrook picked up a new piece of equipment thanks to fundraising efforts from the East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s Starlite campaign. The centre recently acquired a $2,100 ISO 2 continuous glucose monitor, which is used to discover patters and problems that regular blood glucose meters can’t detect on their own. The sensor in the device makes an average blood sugar reading every five minutes for up to six days at a time. Data can then be downloaded and used to make more in-depth clinical decisions. “This is a wonderful addition to the toolkit of our diabetes educator,” explains Simonne Haney, RN & Team Lead for Chronic Disease Management at Interior Health. “Presently we have approximately nine patients who will benefit immediately from this type of testing. We sincerely appreciate the support of donors and East Kootenay Foundation for Health.” The Diabetes Wellness Team is comprised of registered nurses and registered dieticians, who are certified diabetes educators. The team is available for individual appointments and group classes to support those with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes learn more about the overall disease as well as to create strategies to adapt and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The Diabetes Wellness Program is one of many organizations that have received support from the EKFH. Visit www.ekfh.ca to learn more or contact the office at 250-489-6481.

burial in the community of Eastend, about 390 kilometres southwest of Regina. “I had no idea whenever I pledged to my father that I would visit his (uncle’s) grave sometime that I would have to find him and identify him first, and then bring him home so that he would have a grave that I could visit,’’ Gordon said. He added that the experience has been positive for him. “It restores your faith in humanity when you see what people are willing to do for free, for principle.’’

The kids are gone! The kids are gone!

To Blue Lake Camp that is! Julie Br annigan

Blue Lake means a much-needed week of quiet for Tom and I and a week of independence and adventure for the kids. Blue Lake Centre is an outdoor ed camp for kids aged 7-13 located west of Canal Flats, an hour and a half from Cranbrook. The girls first attended last sum-

mer and were eager to return this year for more sing-songs and campouts. Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Cafe was the soundtrack for our dusty drive up Findlay Creek Road, so it was quiet as the girls focused on their favourite story-teller. As we got closer to Blue Lake they shouted out landmarks from last

year, including the ‘Fun Meadow’ which you have to be happy in. We pulled into the parking lot and Grandma and I were abandoned while the girls ran off to learn their cabin assignments. They chose their bunks, changed into bathing suits and found the beach. A dark haired young guy was stationed at the end of the dock playing guitar and singing songs, and the lifeguard was testing the campers’ swimming skills. What a way to spend a summer day! Grandma and I lounged on the dock for

a few minutes so I could get some photos, but didn’t linger. The point of camp is

being free from your parents for the first time in your life. In this era of helicopter parenting and paranoia about everything, that’s more important than ever. If Sarah doesn’t want to eat her breakfast she can experience the joy of making that choice

without me nagging her. She’ll experience the growl of an empty stomach too, but that’s life! This flirtation with hunger is the tip of the independence iceberg. Each choice Erin and Sarah make will be their own and each consequence too.

I am thrilled my kids are back at camp and wish more kids had the same opportunity. Moms, Dads — cut those apron strings for a week and set your kids free! Julie Brannigan writes at riverscrossing. ca/blog

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might notice that others are shielding themselves from you. Some people even might become exhausted after speaking with you! Be your spontaneous self, and reach out to those who enjoy your high-voltage ways. Tonight: You are top dog. Go for what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You seem to be maintaining a low-key position and a laidback attitude around others. You might not expect any uproar, but you do see the possibility of a lot of sudden change. You could gain unusual insight into someone you care about. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll zero in on what you want. A meeting could allow greater give-and-take between you and someone else. You might be on the same page, but an unexpected twist could arise. Be aware of this person’s perceptions. Tonight: Out till the wee

hours. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take a deep breath before starting an important conversation. Be careful if it involves someone whom you feel you have to answer to. Don’t let a situation become too difficult; otherwise, you could be on the receiving end of a strong reaction. Tonight: Play it low-key. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll be more than willing to try out a new idea or take a vacation to some strange land. You understand the value of offbeat situations opening up your mind. For now, all you might be able to do is find a restaurant with unusual cuisine. Tonight: Have a one-on-one chat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are very sure of a partner, and you feel extremely stable. Your confidence could be a result of your ability to tolerate whatever heads your way. Think about this when someone brings an unusual dynamic into your life. Tonight: Do your own thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Others continue to dominate your plans, regardless of what you might have decided your priorities would be. You work well with others, but know what will happen if this becomes a pattern: You could become resentful. Be careful. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You will want to move through a problem more quickly than is possible. Relax with a slower pace. An element of disruption could surround your day. Understand that the unexpected might prove to be more exciting. Tonight: Release stress through some exercise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll come up with one good idea after another. Your creativity seems to flow in many different directions. A loved one will delight in your imaginative flights of fancy. Make some delightful plans in the near future. Tonight: Act like the weekend is already here. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Stay centered and close to home, if possible. You even

might consider working from home or taking a personal day. You are likely to have a lot of events coming down the pike. Zero in on your needs once more. Deal with one person directly. Tonight: Follow the music. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Make calls and listen to what others share. You will need to unravel some personal issues or a grudge. A loved one is a source of excellent advice, and he or she is likely to pitch in and help. Don’t let anyone rain on your parade. Tonight: Meet up with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A daily issue keeps arising, and you’ll need to clear it out. Don’t forget to make an appointment for a checkup with your doctor. You might feel frustrated by the lack of returned calls from a certain someone. Tonight: Treat yourself to a new wardrobe item.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My dad passed away three years ago. He was one of my best friends, and we shared a love of classic automobiles. The day Dad died, I chose to stay at work rather than go to the hospital. I run a business, and if I don’t work, I don’t get paid. That evening, when I tried to console my mother, she asked, “Where were you?” She refused to look at me, so I left. To my mother and her side of the family, it seems I am always doing the wrong thing. It was Dad who encouraged me to go my own way. My sister and her husband took over the sale of my mother’s house. I didn’t ask for anything. However, I do know classic car restorers and offered to help with the sale of my father’s cars when Mother said she wanted to get rid of them. When I found a potential buyer for one last month, Mother informed me that she had given the car to my sister as a thankyou for all the work she and her husband had done for her during the sale of her home. Supposedly, they are “restoring” the car and plan to keep it in the family. No one bothered to tell me. I was angry and upset. My friends all agree that my mother was wrong to give the car to my sister without telling me. I can no longer trust any of them, so either I let it go or cut ties. Who knows what else they’ve kept from me? If they truly cared about me, they would include me in family decisions. I was working on becoming closer to make up for our estrangement after Dad died, but now I feel betrayed. I am tired of paying for a debt I do not owe. -- Missing Dad Dear Missing: You seem to be in complete opposition to your family. They say “left,” and you say “purple.” Perception means a great deal. When you stayed at work instead of being at your father’s side, your family interpreted that to mean you didn’t care. When your mother then gave you the cold shoulder, you should have apologized instead of leaving. From her perspective, if you don’t care, why should she give you the cars to restore? And you believe that because you and Dad shared a love of those cars, she should have given you a voice in the decision. You aren’t communicating in the same language, and your anger is clouding the issue. Before the estrangement becomes permanent, please see whether you can work on this. Ask Mom to go with you for counseling. We hope she will so you both can express yourselves with a mediator present to translate. Dear Annie: I have fibromyalgia and other medical problems and need counseling for depression. I am on disability, so my income is limited, and I am unable to drive. I was wondering whether you could help me. -- J. Dear J.: Please try one of these organizations: the National Fibromyalgia Association (fmaware.org); the American Chronic Pain Association (theacpa.org); United Way, YMCA and YWCA; the Samaritan Institute (samaritaninstitute.org); and Recovery International at lowselfhelpsystems. org. You also can find low-cost or free counseling through your local hospitals and university psychology and graduate-school counseling departments. Dear Annie: A while back, “Given Up Hope Out East” wrote that she was 50 years old and obese. She said she was happy and not going to diet anymore. It’s been months, and I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind. She needs to get busy and lose it before she gets older. I’m 75 and morbidly obese and certainly wish I’d gotten it under control when I was 50. It gets 10 times harder every year to lose weight. I’ve lost 30 pounds in the past six months, but it’s really hard. I still have almost 200 pounds to go. Tell her to get with it! -- Getting There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Rena passed away peacefully with her family at her side at the Central Okanagan Hospice House on Saturday, August 9, 2014.

End of Life? Bereaved? May We Help?

Rena was born in Maple Creek, SK and lived in Saskatchewan until high school graduation when she moved to Edmonton, AB, to attend the Royal Alexandra Hospital School of Nursing. Rena moved to Kimberley in the early 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to begin her nursing career at the Kimberley Hospital. It was here she met her future husband, Bill Roskilly. Rena was extremely proud to serve her country as an officer in the RCAF during WWII. Renaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kindness and generosity of spirit was well in evidence as a Registered Nurse. After all her children were safely in school, Rena returned to nursing as an OR Nurse, a career she loved and continued until her retirement. After retirement, Rena became an avid golfer and enjoyed travelling to all corners of the world. Her love of reading was legendary, a gift she instilled in all her children. In the spring of 2003, Rena decided to sell her home and moved to a retirement residence in Kelowna to be closer to her children.

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.

In the event that doesn’t happen, government is developing a contingency plan to give parents as much time as possible to plan out of school learning opportunities for their children.

A one-time support payment of $40 per day will be made available to parents of children under the age of 13 that are attending B.C. public schools. It will be funded from savings that accumulate from September 2 until the labour dispute is resolved.

PARIS — Six French climbers died in a fall on France’s Mont Blanc after a night of snow and wind on Western Europe’s tallest mountain, officials said Wednesday. August is the height of the climbing season on Mont Blanc, where even in the warmest months storms can strike quickly. High winds buffeted the area where the group fell, said Jean-Baptiste Estachy, head of the Mont Blanc rescue squad. Estachy said five bodies were found Wednesday morning and the body of the sixth victim was later pulled out from the bottom of a crevasse. The six included five experienced climbers and a guide.

gation to uncover the exact cause of the accident was underway. The climbers were taking part in a twoweek mountaineering course with the guide and were reported missing overnight when they failed to return to a refuge. They had been on a planned trip to the Aiguille d’Argentiere, which tops out around 3,900 metres (12,800 feet). Mont Blanc, in addition to its primary peak, contains some 200 summits and touches France, Switzerland and Italy. Thousands try to climb its peaks each year and an average of 59 people are killed annually in accidents on its slopes, according to the Chamoniarde, a safety association.

900 French citizens in Iraq, Syria for jihad, or on route PARIS — France’s top security official says nearly 900 French citizens have gone to Middle East battlegrounds and some have joined the Islamic State group. Despite efforts to discourage French people from joining militant groups, the figures given Wednesday by Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve show the numbers of French youth leaving continue to grow. “There are today

nearly 900 from France who are part of this phenomenon, either in the theatre of operations in Syria or in Iraq. There are presumably some in Iraq because the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, which recruited them, takes them to all the places where it is engaged in combat,’’ Cazeneuve told France Info radio. Security officials fear European militants will ultimately turn their skills against their homelands.

Six French climbers killed in fall on Mont Blanc peak

GREENSBURG, Pa. — The former live-in caretaker of a Pittsburgh-area mansion has died, ending criminal charges that he drank more than $102,000 worth of old whiskey that he was supposed to be guarding. A district judge last year ordered 63-yearold John Saunders, of Irwin, to stand trial after hearing testimony from the owner of the South Broadway Manor Bed and Breakfast. But the Tribune-Review reports Saunders

died July 21, ending the case. The mansion’s owner had claimed she found nine 12-bottle cases of whiskey hidden in the century-old mansion built by industrialist J.P. Brennan after she bought it in 2012. The whiskey was produced in the early 1900s and was appraised at more than $2,000 a bottle. Saunders was charged after the owner discovered 52 empty bottles on which police found DNA from Saunders’ saliva.
