LOOSENING UP THE C-3

Where will rezoning lead?

Cranbrook takes another look at zoning that permits more uses after resident expresses concern ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

The City of Cranbrook decided to send a proposed zoning amendment which adds a number of permitted uses to the C-3 Neighbourhood Commercial Zone back to staff.

The amendment would add additional retail trade uses of a neighbourhood scale to the original 2012 zoning bylaw. It adds these new uses: Shoe, apparel/clothing store; Food and beverage store; Gift, novelty and souvenir store; Book store; Hobby/craft store; Music store.

“These are uses that up until now have not been permitted in the C-3 zone,” Stetski said.

One Cranbrook resident aired her concerns about the proposed

changes and asked for some clarifications.

Johanna Kinsman, lives near two of the affected addresses in the 1100 block of 11th Street South.

She noted there is a daycare there (Little Summit Daycare).

“In the past we did have a grocery store there, and there was talk of having a pub there,” she said. “My concern in having this zoning is the food and beverage store.”

She said in the past it was a real concern in the neighbourhood for children and young adults.

She wondered if it is a possibility that the daycare could become a grocery store or restaurant that could serve and sell alcohol.

Cranbrook teachers and supporters held a rally in downtown Cranbrook Tuesday, Sept. 2, to call for a resumption of negotiations and a fair contract for teachers. The dispute between the teachers and the government is at an impasse, and schools stayed shut as what would have been the first day of school kicked off. See more, Page 2.

Ktunaxa appealing Jumbo decision TOWNSMAN STAFF

Ktunaxa Nation will be appealing the Supreme Court decision relating to the ski resort approved for the Jumbo Valley.

Ktunaxa Nation lawyers announced Monday that they have completed the

next step in the process of appealing the court’s decision regarding Jumbo, which is known to the Ktunaxa as Qat’muk.

The Ktunaxa Nation is appealing the April 3, 2014 ruling by the court that found the B.C. government’s con-

sultation process regarding the approval of a year-round ski resort in the Jumbo Valley area to be reasonable and that the resort would not substantially interfere with Ktunaxa spiritual beliefs and practices.

Kathryn Teneese, Ktu-

naxa Nation Council Chair, said the Ktunaxa Nation has opposed this development on the record since 1991.

“Ktunaxa spirituality is intrinsically tied to Qat’muk and we will continue our fight to stop its destruction,” Teneese said. “Our opposi-

tion to this development is not about money and never has been. It is a fight about who we are as a people.”

The Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) for the proposed Jumbo Glacier Resort expires in October and cannot be renewed

Parents told to brace for long shutdown

Lynn Hauptman, Superintendent of School District 5 (Southeast Kootenay, addressed parents in a letter posted on the district’s website.

“Along with parents and students, we began this week cautiously optimistic that the two parties would achieve a settlement in time for school to open on Thursday,” she wrote.

“With the involvement of a skilled mediator, we were encouraged that we would see a long awaited breakthrough.”

Veteran mediator Vince Ready walked

Pickets were brandished instead of pencils at public schools Tuesday after an attempt at mediated talks to resolve the teachers strike collapsed over the weekend, ending hopes classes could start on schedule.

School district administrators warned parents of children requiring alternate child care to plan for a lengthy shutdown of schools and to not assume the labour dispute will be resolved in a matter of days.

away from the exploratory negotiations Saturday, saying the two sides were at “an impasse” and simply too far apart – particularly on wages and benefits – for mediation to be productive.

“This is a very disappointing time for everyone and in particular for our students who are eager to begin their classes. This week, administrators will be in schools should you have any questions, but they will be unable to offer any supervision or instruction. At this time we are unsure if classes will resume later this week,” Hauptman wrote.

The School District will continue to provide updates and post information on its website (sd5.bc.ca).

“We very much appreciate that this labour dispute has created uncertainty, frustration and inconvenience for everyone. I look forward to be able to welcome everyone back to school,” she added.

Hauptman thanked all the parents for “your continued patience during this very difficult time.”

School District 6 (Rocky Mountain) said on its website that when it is able to confirm the start date for students, that information will be posted on the website

School District 5 teachers and supporters held a rally Tuesday, heading from Rotary Park, down 11th Avenue, to the Strip. (sd6.bc.ca).

On Tuesday, teachers and supporters held a rally starting in Rotary Park in downtown Cranbrook, which proceeded down 11th Avenue to MLA Bill Bennett’s office, and then out to the strip. Cranbrook and District Teachers Association President Shelly Balfour told the assembled crowd that “this is not about getting a raise, this is about democracy in B.C.” Balfour also suggested that the government “stop with the court cases, put money into education, and let’s get going.”

Iker claimed the BCTF has reduced its demands by $125 million, including a cut in the size of its proposed fund to settle grievances, while the government offered no meaningful moves in return and “squandered” the chance at a deal.

Opponents of the Jumbo Glacier Resort project have established a watchdog camp in Jumbo Creek, as Glacier Resorts Ltd. presses ahead with its most significant physical infrastructure developments yet.

Glacier Resorts Ltd. and Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality are undertaking work to put in three bridges — two temporary bridges and a permanent bridge. The permanent bridge is being paid for by the municipality; the temporary bridges by Glacier Resorts Ltd. “It’s surreal,” said Glacier Resorts Ltd. vice president Grant Costello on how it feels to be on the verge of starting construction of a project that was first proposed more than two decades ago.

The developers may also begin work on surveying and clearing an internal main access road running from the beginning to the end of the resort within the site, he said.

The watchdog camp was established on Wednesday, August 20 by several people from the area. Although most are members of local environmental group Wildsight, Wild-

sight spokesperson Robyn Duncan said the group was supporting the camp, but not officially organizing it.

“The provincial Environmental Assessment Office can’t keep people on the ground all the time, so that’s when the public has to step in,” said West Kootenay Ecosociety executive director David Reid said. “I think it (the camp) will be a lot of talking to people coming by, taking photos and documenting what goes on so that everybody can be sure that the resort proponents are complying with the 195 conditions they made as part of their environmental assessment certificate.”

“The critics we have are Wildsight.

They say they are going to monitor our activities because nobody is. That’s not true because in fact we have a number of ministries that are monitoring our activities,” said Costello.

“We have the Mountain Resorts Branch under the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations … also, the (provincial) Environmental Assessment office has a compliance division. They are going to monitor what we do. They have been out here already and they will be out here again during construction.”

Watch that drainage Tre vor Cr awley

If you’re thinking of dumping water from a swimming pool or hot tub down a conveniently-located storm sewer drain, make sure you treat it first.

Due to pool chemicals such as chlorine, bromine and salt, pool and hot tub water should be treated first before sending it down a storm sewer drain, which are eventually emptied into streams that have fish and other aquatic life.

Pool and hot tub water should not be drained into sanitary sewer systems.

City staff also recommend slowly discharging treated pool and hot tub water into the ground, in a manner that doesn’t flood neighbouring properties, streets or alleys.

Treating pool and hot tub water means dechlorination, which can be achieved with dechlorination tablets and exposure to sunlight. Water should be continually tested to ensure chemical levels are as close to zero as possible before drainage into a storm sewer.

Contact the city’s engineering department before draining into a storm sewer to ensure it isn’t clogged or eroded and can handle the volume. Water should be discharged as close to the storm sewer as possible without running over sidewalks, driveways or roadways.

Salt water pools have a high level of chloride and aren’t safe to discharge into a storm sewer. Water from salt water pools must be handled by a licensed hauler.

Anyone with questions or concerns on the differences of the sanitary and storm sewers and the practice of pool and hot tub drainage can contact the engineering department at 250-489-0230.

Ktunaxa will appeal Continued from page 1 “We are concerned that a number of these commitments have not been met by the proponent,” continued Teneese. “Many of the commitments were put in place to address Ktunaxa concerns about the development, including water quality, fisheries and wildlife.”

Teneese said the B.C. Supreme Court relied on the Environmental Assessment Certificate’s commitments and conditions in reaching its decision in April. “Other than some minor road improvements, there does not appear to be any construction taking place at the resort,” she said. “We will continue to monitor the situation and are appreciative of the work and support of the many non-Ktunaxa organizations and people who see the value and importance of keeping Jumbo wild.”

She explained that to the Ktunaxa, Qat’muk is where the Grizzly Bear Spirit was born, goes to heal itself and returns to the spirit world.

The appeal will likely be heard in the British Columbia Court of Appeal in early 2015.

CLASS IS IN SESSION: Students at Kootenay Christian Academy headed back to school for a new fall semester on Tuesday along with St. Mary’s Catholic Independent School, Aqamnik Elementary School and Kimberley Independent School. The four independent schools are not a part of the provincial public system, which is not in session due to job action from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. The BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association are currently attempting to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. Pictured above: Grade 9 students get settled in for their first day of classes in one of the portables at KCA.

Zoning concerns prompt rethink Continued from page 1 Stetski asked CAO Wayne Staudt whether those kinds of uses would be permitted.

“I believe if we were contemplating liquor sales, of course it would have to be licensed to the province,” Staudt said. “Currently our definition of food and beverage store I don’t think specifies liquor sales.”

Rob Veg, the city’s senior planner, said the city doesn’t actually define the use.

“So I suppose in theory it could be a liquor store,” Veg said. “In some zones we do

say liquor retail, but being kind of general it could be.

It’s not anticipated for that site by any means. This is a broad amendment to encompass all the C-3 zones, but I suppose the potential could be there.”

Kinsman said even when the food store was there it wasn’t that great.

“I just really think don’t we have enough in this city already that we don’t need to be bringing in more retail in a residential area, where there are small children,” she said.

“We have buildings in this city already that need to be filled.”

Coun. Angus said when he read through the agenda before the meeting, he didn’t think of those types of concerns.

Coun. Sharon Cross asked whether there was a requirement under the liquor licence to check with neighbours.

Roy Hales, director of corporate services, said there has been that requirement for certain licences, but with recent changes to liquor sales being introduced to retail

stores he was not aware of the process by which local government would be involved.

The bylaw amendment was up for third reading and adoption, but council decided to defer it back to city staff to bring back to council for further consideration.

Interestingly, the current zoning already permits liquor sales if they are licensed by the province.

“A neighbourhood convenience store can sell beverages,” Hales said. “As an eating establishment and drinking establishment can as well.”

KUMR marks 30 years with a special celebration Submit ted

The Kimberley Underground Mining Railway (originally BCMR Bavarian City Mining Railway) is celebrating its 30th year this year.

And Saturday, August 30, was an amazing day for us at the railroad, and especially for Bill and Carol Spence.

It’s been 30 years since Bill came up with the idea of turning a used underground loci and some ore cars into a

tourist attraction. He was able to make it happen with a lot of ingenuity, hard work and the help of a very supportive wife and family and some hard working friends. The 30 year celebration was organized

by Esther Jacobson, who worked as an engineer on the train in the early years.

It was also his granddaughter’s wedding — and Bill’s mining train became a wedding train

as it transported the bride and groom, Cara and Tye, and their guests up the hill to the reception. The wedding train was driven by Dan Jarrett who worked on the train with Bill for many years. Cara worked as a commentator on the train for several summers and so was quite comfortable doing the commentary for her guests as the “original” loci #94 chugged up the hill.

B.C. eyes looser liquor penalties for bars, stores J e f f N ag e l Black Press

The province is contemplating changing how it punishes pubs, restaurants and liquor stores that violate liquor rules that ban over-serving and selling to minors.

Business owners have asked government for a more flexible penalty system and a month-long online consultation running to Sept. 30 asks stakeholders for input on the options.

One possibility to be explored is lower or higher penalties.

According to a government discussion paper released Friday, B.C. penalties are stiffer than most other provinces.

“Decreasing penalties would bring British Columbia in closer alignment with the average among the provinces,” it says, noting government must balance business hardship and the need for deterrence for public safety.

A first offence for a B.C. liquor establishment typically means a one- to three-day suspension for overcrowding and 10 days or a

Notice of a General Meeting of the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary Date: September 22, 2014 Time: 2:30 p.m.

Where: Hospital Education Room #A This meeting, which was scheduled for the 15th of September, had to be postponed due to a By-law regulation which requires that an advertisement be placed in the newspapers giving 14 days notice prior to holding the meeting.

Please note: This is a very important meeting as changes to the By-laws will be discussed and voted on.

Copies of the By-law changes will be available at both the Thrift Store and Gift Shop in the hospital.

$7,500 fine for selling to a minor (the first-offence maximum is $10,000 and 15 days for serving minors.)

Alberta bars have a choice of paying a fine or serving a suspension – which is one of the ideas up for consideration – and most operators there choose the fine, which is typically $500 to $1,500 on a public safety first offence.

The stiffest penalties are in Ontario, where suspensions of 21 days and longer are common.

Another issue is perceived unfairness of the current system for different business types.

Food-primary outlets can keep on serving food during a suspension, while liquor-primary bars and retail stores must close entirely.

That raises the question of whether fines are a better option, the paper says.

It adds the penalties must spur liquor violators to voluntary compliance and not be so low they’re merely treated as a cost of doing business.

Fines or suspensions

get more onerous with repeat offences, potentially leading to licence cancellations.

But a second offence is only counted as such if it happens within 12 months of the first one – after a year the slate is clean.

One option is to increase that period to two or three years, which would put more pressure on repeat offenders whose subsequent penalties would be more severe.

There were 13,415 inspections of liquor licensees last year, resulting in just under 400 contravention notices or nearly three per cent of inspections. But of those, less than half (171) led to enforcement action being taken.

The most common violation in recent years has been supplying liquor to minors, followed by permitting an intoxicated person to remain on the premises.

The discussion paper can be found at www. pssg.gov.bc.ca/lclb/ docs-forms/penalty-schedule-consultation.pdf

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH …

The endless sound of music Just a few days ago I was walking up a mountain with a couple of similarly insane dear friends when I found that I had a song in my head; it would not go away; it was ‘There! I’ve said it again’ by Evans and Mann, and saying it over and over ad nauseam.

When in my youth I’d bury myself in books by famous mountaineers and explorers, deeds of daring and high adventure, the authors invariably wrote of plodding up steep slopes on foot or on skis with the sounds of Sibelius, Tchaikovsky or even Chopin in their heads.

I recall even now that Scotsman who claimed that he had Rimsky Korsakov’s Scheherazade in his mind as he plodded up The Matterhorn — or was it Ben Nevis?

I was quite jealous, I remember now.

However, when I struggled, head down, up some tedious slope, my accompaniment was (very old English folk will remember this) ‘Mares eat oats and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy. A kid’ll eat ivy too’ or something of that ilk. You can understand how my education must have been lacking.

I wasn’t brought up with ‘the classics’ ringing in my ears; Dad was into Fred Astaire and his dance music; I don’t know about Mother’s tastes.

Later on my more educated friends

would talk about relishing Mozart or Beethoven or some other famous musician, but I think they were either boasting or kidding.

One good friend with Samaritan instincts felt that I was lacking in my musical education so he hauled me off to an opera. I wasn’t impressed; I am positive that not one of those pretentious arias ever rang in my ears as I plodded wearily uphill. No! It would be some Gershwin piece, and I’d remember the words Peter too.

Warland In my memoires — if I can remember any of them when it comes to writing — I’d like to write that Mount St. Helens erupted whilst I was on my way up Fisher Peak, and the music that was haunting me most of the way, especially up that awful talus slope, was Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld Overture, and that it must have been a sort of premonition. I, like most authors, would have been lying through my teeth. It was probably ‘I had the craziest dream, last night, yes I did’ written by Harry Warren back in 1942.

Mind you, at the speed I was making up that slope, it was a playing as a dirge.

Having helped (read, got in the way) in the production of several high school musicals, such as Oklahoma, West Side Story and Hello, Dolly, I’ve had those Broadway

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

melodies hammered into my head but I don’t believe they are the ones that haunt me still, when I venture into the mountains.

As in spring skiing. This activity involves a great deal of climbing up hard frozen snow, usually kicking steps in order to get up before the midday sun softens the surface. With one of us was in the lead, the rest of us would follow behind, wallowing in our own particular tunes and using the leader’s bucket-sized footholds, we’d suddenly be flummoxed because the leader had deliberately changed the pattern of his steps, moved to one side, danced a polka or something, and we, roused out of our respective reveries, would be thoroughly enraged. Some people have a strange sense of humour.

I’d never do a dastardly deed like that.

When I told my friend Paul about the tune that had been bothering me on the way up that peak the other day, he grinned at me and said, “Good job it wasn’t a waltz. That would’ve been something to see.”

Why is it that I never get an iota of sympathy?

What bothers me now is when I try to remember what tune it was that was jammed into my head the last time I climbed a mountain. Could it be the same one as before? I wonder. Is it the same melody week after week? Will I be paying royalties next?

Full exposure Cranbrook’s Kevin Ross privy to NHL’s new officiating recruitment tool Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Exhibition explosion Nitros face Rockies in first pre-season tune up tonight Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters open the 2014 exhibition season tonight when they welcome the Columbia Valley Rockies to the Kimberley Civic Centre at 7 p.m.

Fresh off a vigorous and competitive threeday training camp, the team has whittled its roster down from 45 initial invites to 27 bodies heading into exhibition season.

“Compared to last year’s camp, the skill level was higher, the speed was higher,” said Nitros general manager Dave Smith Wednesday night following practice in Kimberley. “Returning players were in shape. It was great to see.”

Having opened camp with five goaltenders, the Dynamiters are set between the pipes with returner Troy Brouwer and Oregon import Liam McBain.

On the blueline, the Nitros head into tonight’s contest with eight bodies including newcomer Jonas Gordon.

A native of Canmore, Alta., Gordon joined the Dynamiters following a

tryout with the Olds Grizzlys of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

The 18-year-old spent the 2013-14 season with the Banff Bears of the Heritage Junior Hockey League (Alberta Jr. B).

With 17 names hanging on up front, there are re-assignments still to come.

Forward Jordan Roy was returned to the team following WHL camp with the Tri City Americans and returning forwards Tyson Klingspohn, Jared Marchi and Jason Richter won’t be going anywhere. California-born Keenan Haase also appears to have solidified his place in the lineup.

“The smaller guys know they’re here because of their skill. They need to show that,” Smith said. “The bigger guys, they know why they’re here, too. They need to get their hands dirty, get in there and protect those little guys.

“They all know their roles. They’ve all been talked to by coach [Jerry Bancks].”

Following tonight’s game with the Rockies, the Nitros engage in a home-and-home exhi-

bition series with the Fernie Ghostriders, traveling east to Fernie Friday night before returning home to the Civic Centre Saturday night.

“I expect the vets to lead the younger guys that are trying out, still working for a position,” Smith said heading into exhibition play. “You throw the veterans in there to help bring their skill level up to where it needs to be, show them what they need to do.

“I expect them to really pour it on. It’s tight competition. There’s a lot of forwards that want to play on this team.”

The Nitros wrap up the pre-season Monday, Sept. 8 when they travel to Invermere for one final exhibition engagement with the Rockies.

Smith expects to have hammered out the opening-night roster before the team sets foot on the ice Sept. 8, so folks in Kimberley might be privy to a regular season preview Monday evening.

The Dynamiters open the 2014-15 KIJHL regular season Sept. 13 when the Creston Valley Thunder Cats cruise into the Civic Centre.

The National Hockey League is continually looking for ways to improve its on-ice product and that doesn’t necessarily mean simply developing the players or changing the rules.

From Aug. 15 to 17, the first NHL Exposure Combine was hosted in Buffalo, N.Y., aimed at recruiting new individuals to consider a career in officiating.

“The idea behind the event was to, as it states, expose ex-players that are maybe at the end of their playing career and undecided about their future, to the world of officiating,” said Al Kimmel, NHL officiating manager.

According to Kimmel, NHL director of officiating Stephen Walkom presented the idea to league officials during the fall of 2013. From there, the officiating department went to work communicating the combine to various universities in both Canada and the United States in addition to some junior teams in order to test the waters and determine what kind of interest might exist.

It was no coincidence that Walkom, Kimmel and the NHL officiating department targeted ex-players and college athletes.

“We based it on the

success of our current [officiating] staff,” Kimmel said. “Most of the members, be it referees or linesmen, have grown up in the game playing.

As a player, [they] understand the game, know what’s involved from the physical fitness aspect.

Their skating skills, the athleticism they bring to the table seems to be a great quality.”

According to Kimmel, the response was overwhelming, with nearly 200 applicants submitting to attend the camp. The NHL invited 58 of those applicants to Buffalo, including Cranbrook’s Kevin Ross.

Recently graduated from Princeton University, the 24-year-old played three seasons with the Tigers, Princeton’s men’s hockey team.

He was cut short of a fourth season after suffering a career-ending concussion midway through his junior season.

“I love the game, obviously,” Ross said over the phone from San Francisco, where he now resides. “[Officiating] is a good way to both give back to the game and also maybe keep myself involved and make a career out of it.”

Ross grew up in Cranbrook and began his junior hockey career at the onset of the 2005-06 season in Kimberley with

the KIJHL’s Dynamiters .

He suited up for 94 games over two seasons with the Nitros before graduating to the BCHL’s Alberni Valley Bulldogs in 2007-08. After three successful seasons in the BCHL that included 90 points in 168 games, Ross accepted an athletic scholarship to Princeton University.

Since graduating from Princeton’s environmental engineering program this year, Ross is adjusting to life in sunny California as he embarks on a new chapter with ENVIRON, a global environmental consulting company.

Ross was hired as an environmental consultant specializing in air quality and emissions. With that in mind, there’s no immediate future in officiating for the Cranbrook native as he settles into post-graduate life, a new career, and a city where the existence of hockey is relatively limited.

“Any of the participants that came to the camp, if they did have interest in officiating and wanted to pursue it, we’re currently following up with leagues at different levels to try and place these participants,” Kimmel said. “We want them to keep interested in pursuing [officiating] skills no matter what level they’re at.

“There was a lot of overwhelming positivity

in responses from the participants and I think [the combine] was a great value.”

While Ross isn’t taking that path right now, whockey holds a special place in his heart. If circumstance change, there’s a very real chance the former Kimberley Dynamiter will return to the ice adorned in stripes.

“I don’t think I’m a big-city guy at heart,” Ross said. “I could see myself, somewhere down the line, moving back to Cranbrook or somewhere like Cranbrook. I love the mountains.”

Though there is no way to immediately measure the success of the camp, the NHL officiating department will continue to track participants from the NHL Exposure Combine.

So while most fans focus on the latest change to the rules or jaw-dropping player fitness statistics from the NHL Scouting Combine, Al Kimmel and the rest of the NHL officiating department go about business behind the scenes, quietly searching for ways to improve the game by improving the men responsible for ensuring the rules are abided by on the ice.

Time will tell whether or not this latest trial was a success.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 26-year-old married woman. I love my husband and would do anything for him, and I know he would do the same for me.

The problem is, I contacted an old friend after learning his uncle had died. This guy was my first love. I only reached out to him to offer my condolences. But then the conversation went further, and we ended up reminiscing about the past.

Since then, we’ve been talking and texting and recently began to talk about having sex. I know I shouldn’t give in to these impulses, but really, I want to. My friend has not pressured me, so I don’t understand why I feel this way. What should I do? -- Nameless in the USA Dear Nameless: You should delete his phone number from your records and stop before you make a mess of your life.

It is not unusual to fantasize about another partner. A lot of married people do, because marriage can become routine, and an old flame adds excitement. But you need to live up to the commitment you made to your husband to “forsake all others.” Having an affair would hurt him terribly and possibly lead to divorce. Put some of that extra energy into reigniting the passion in your marriage. If you cannot do that, please consider counseling so you can remember why you married in the first place.

Dear Annie: Two years ago, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Mom has spent her life doing whatever she wants, living wherever it suits her and treating people however she chooses, like it or not. She considers herself a free spirit.

My brother resents the fact that Mom has hardly been a part of our lives since we were little kids.

Mom recently moved in with an ex-husband because she doesn’t like the available rental places. She’s spent her life manipulating people to get what she wants, and most of the family has distanced themselves from her. As a result, I feel guilty that she’s so alone and send her money from time to time, whether or not I can afford it. Everyone asks why I’m so susceptible to her manipulations, including my father, my brother and all of my friends. I am mad at myself, too, yet I just sent her more money because her new housemate mailed me a bill for $300 to help pay for their heat -- in August. This man has a long history of stealing from me even when I was a teenager. I think I may have simply paid for his propane gas for the winter.

Should I just keep giving or let her lie in the bed she has made for herself like everyone I know has said I should? -- H. Dear H.: Please listen to your own feelings instead of the people around you.

Giving her money makes you feel like a sap, but if you don’t, you feel guilty. And with everyone telling you what an easy mark you are, it only compounds your confusion. We know you care about your mother in spite of her selfishness.

This is actually less about Mom and more about you. If giving her money now and then makes you feel better about yourself, it’s fine to continue, but we don’t recommend you advertise your generosity to your friends and family. And if you decide that your kindness is money down the drain and unappreciated, it’s OK to stop.

There’s no reason to feel guilty when you are being taken advantage of.

Dear Annie: This is in response to the letter from “California,” who claimed a felony could never be expunged under California law. This is not true.

Many nonviolent felony convictions are subject to expungement, and it is a fairly easy process. Readers can check the California courts website at courts.ca.gov. -N.S.

Obituaries Eldon Lynn Matchett Jr. â&#x20AC;&#x153;JRâ&#x20AC;?

It is with great sadness that we announce the very sudden passing of Eldon Lynn Matchett Jr. on Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Junior had a life long passion for cars.

Those that knew him in the car enthusiast community nicked named him â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire Chickenâ&#x20AC;?. As of late, he could often be seen cruising in his Corvette with Kola, his four-legged friend.

Eldon worked as auto body technician for over 40 years.

He was a devoted husband, father and papa. He is survived by his wife Diane, children Darrell (Lisa), Kari (Steve) and Eldon Jr. (Merla), sister Virginia (Boyd), brothers-in-law George and Gary, nephew Matthew (Jessica, Ryder), grandchildren Sydney, Ashleylynn and Austin, and Aunt Rhona and her family. He was predeceased by his parents Eldon Sr. and Alice.

A celebration of Eldonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held Sunday, September 7, 2014 from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm at Wycliffe Park to share memories, in honour of Eldonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final Show and Shine.

Aftermath of battle shows rout of Ukrainian troops Peter Leonard Associated Press

NOVOKATERYNIVKA, Ukraine — The ferocity of the attack on the fleeing Ukrainian troops was clear, days after the ambush by Russian-backed separatist forces.

More than 30 military vehicles lay in charred piles Tuesday. Villagers said dozens were killed, and some remained unburied. One soldier was blown out of his armoured vehicle — apparently by a shell — his body left dangling from power lines high above.

The rout early Sunday near the village of Novokaterynivka marked a major intensification in the rebel offensive, one that the Ukrainian government, NATO and the United States say has been sustained by Russia’s direct military support.

Moscow has stepped up its harsh rhetoric as

well. A leaked report said European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said President Vladimir Putin told him that Russia could take over Kyiv “in two weeks’’ if it wished.

Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s foreign policy adviser, said the Russian leader’s statement on Kyiv was “taken out of context and carried a completely different meaning.’’

Yet the results of much deadlier weapons of war could not be denied.

The smashed tanks, APCs and trucks were part of a massive column fleeing after being encircled in the town of Ilovaisk, which the Ukrainian government was compelled to concede after weeks of battles. Judging by how close together the stricken vehicles were, the incoming fire was precise and intense.

Ukrainian troops have over the past week suffered a string of major military losses in their offensive against Russian-backed separatist rebels, including in the village of Novokaterynivka, eastern Ukraine.

“They were going to surrender, and they began to bomb them,’’ said Novokaterynivka resident Anatoly Tyrn, who had the turret of a tank land beside his

home.

Ukrainian army personnel have been allowed to travel to Novokaterynivka, about 36 kilometres (23 miles) southeast of Donetsk,

and surrounding rebel-held areas to retrieve their soldiers’ bodies.

Villagers and the separatists say the number of Ukrainian military dead was huge, although

the government has maintained a tight lid on the precise figure.

Tyrn said he believed more than 100 had died.

Various rebel fighters separately gave estimates, all ranging into the dozens. Associated Press reporters saw at least 11 bodies in the last two days, although it was clear that was only a portion of the overall toll. Most of the dead were removed Monday, the rebels said, although one was buried so shallowly that the decaying remains were still visible.

It’s uncertain about whether the Ukrainian troops had been offered a safe exit corridor by the rebels. The leader of the pro-government Donbas Battalion, Semyon Semenchenko, wrote on his Facebook page Saturday that there was an agreement. But rebel fighters told the AP a day later that the government convoy included too many military vehicles and weapons to be allowed through.

A group of surviving Ukrainian soldiers outside the town of Starobesheve told the AP that they were fired upon from all sides.

Rank-and-file troops increasingly have voiced exasperation at what they say is government mismanagement of the war. Anatoly Babchenko, a soldier captured Sunday by the rebels, was unsparing in his criticism.

“First they drove people to hunger, and now they’ve driven them to war,’’ Babchenko said from a basement cell at

the Starobesheve police station. “They call this an anti-terrorist operation, but this is a civil war. Brother killing brother.’’

The separatists began fighting Ukrainian troops in April, a month after Russia annexed Crimea. The war has left more than 2,500 people dead and forced at least 340,000 to flee.

It also has left Ukraine’s economy in tatters. Ukraine might need billions in additional support if the fighting persists through next year, the International Monetary Fund said Tuesday. Just covering the shortfall in the central bank’s reserves would require an additional $19 billion by the end of 2015, it said.

Ukrainian and several Western countries say Russia has sharply escalated the conflict by sending regular army units across the border.

NATO estimates at least 1,000 Russian soldiers have entered Ukraine, helping turn the tide in the last week in favour of the rebels. The alliance also says 20,000 other Russian soldiers have been positioned along the frontier.

On a ridge overlooking a road running past Novokaterynivka, rebels stood watch in their tanks. Four trucks packed with grimecaked fighters swept by, along with two APCs and a couple of ambulances, apparently straight from more battles.

Villagers who have not fled appeared almost unfazed by the chaos around them.

Children played in a meter-deep (3-foot) crater, collecting fragments of shrapnel. Delivery trucks wove gingerly around charred military vehicles even while unexploded ordinance lay scattered about. One man let his chickens out to feed.

Militiamen searched house-to-house for any stragglers from the destroyed convoy.

One man who identified himself as Ivan was detained by rebels who said he had no papers and feared he might be a fugitive Ukrainian soldier. He was left lying on a pile of sand with a T-shirt over his bloodied face, his hands and legs bound with tape.
