Cranbrook house consumed by fire FOR THE TOWNSMAN

The investigation into the cause of a residential fire Tuesday afternoon was set to begin Wednesday morning.

Firefighters with Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Services responded to a structure fire Tuesday afternoon at 2505 4th Street South. The call for response arrived approximately 2:50 pm and upon arrival crews found the home fully involved.

No one was home at the time. Crews got the fire under control within 20 minutes and salvage and overhaul operations are ongoing.

The cause of the fire is yet undetermined. The home was a rental and the renters, Sara and Scott McKay, have two six year old boys and a nine year old daughter. They lost everything in the fire. A Go Fund Me account has been started for the family.

Centre will not stop trying to stop wolf cull C A R O LYN G R A N T

The provincial government announced this week that the controversial wolf cull to protect mountain caribou was over for the year.In the South Selkirks, 11 wolves were removed and a further 73 in the South Peace. In one case, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations reports, six wolves were removed as they were

actively stalking 14 caribou.

“This is the first year of a five-year project of wolf removal that is being employed in conjunction with ongoing habitat protection efforts,” the government press release said.

Shelley Black from the Northern Lights Wolf Centre in Golden scoffs at the notion that there is habitat protection going on, and says the 14-caribou herd in

the South Selkirk is as good as gone.

The South Selkirk herd lost four animals this year and now stands at only 14.

“These caribou are done,” she said. “It’s not worth protecting and putting other species at risk at the same time. Those caribou will not survive because they (the government) are not protecting habitat. Wildsight and other

Wild students bring home medals in robotics, film CONTINUED from page 1 The Robotics challenge is a game in which two teams go head-to-head to pick up golf balls and two types of PVC pipes and then place them on a pyramid style stand. They are awarded points based on how the objects are placed on the shelves of the pyramid stand.

There were eight robotics teams in total.

There were also eight teams in the TV/Video Production Category. That competition required competitors to produce a 2-3 minute video based on

a them. It tested the competitors’ ability to evaluate their proficiency in the television and video communications field.

There were others from MBSS, and the Kootenay region who showed their skills in various disciplines. Tyler Daigle from Mount Baker Secondary competed in Cabinetmaking, Cache Pedley from Golden represented the Kootenays in Welding.

The gold winning teams will now advance to the Skills Canada Nationals in Saskatoon on May 27-30.

groups have been fighting to protect habitat but there are still tenures for mining and heli-skiing in those areas. You won’t save those 14 caribou so quit killing wolves, and killing them inhumanely. It’s just sad.”

Black says that when the wolf cull first came up, the Wolf Centre was looking at adding to their pack.

“We proposed adding wolves to our pack here and

asked for a permit to take pups. They told us it was inhumane to do that. But it’s not inhumane to let them grow to a year old and then shoot them from a helicopter?”

Black says she and other environmental groups will not stop trying to halt the wolf cull. She also says people need to be more concerned just what they are voting for at election time,

and also pressure those who are actually performing the cull.

“The public need to keep pressure on the companies actually getting paid for this. Who is the helicopter company?

“We have to start voting for our environment, for the green that is in the forest, not the green in our pockets.”

Cranbrook man arrested after attempted break and enters RC M P

Just after midnight on April 22, Cranbrook RCMP received the report of an unknown person attempting to gain entry to residences in the area of 1st Street and 17th Avenue South in Cranbrook.

As police arrived on scene the suspect fled on foot. An extensive patrol of the area located the suspect hiding in some bushes approximately a block away.

A 24-year-old Cranbrook man was arrested and taken into police custody without incident. He was taken to the RCMP Detachment where he was lodged in police lock-up. to be released when sober later in the morning.

The suspect has been released on a promise to appear for a first appearance court date in June.

The matter is still under investigation and police will be recommending charges of attempted

break and enter and trespass by night.

“This is a good example of vigilant residents watching over their neighbourhood and then calling police after observing suspicious activity.” S/Sgt. David Dubnyk explained. “With immediate police attendance and information from witnesses, this individual was taken into police custody before anything more serious could happen.”

Locals respond to federal budget Trevor Crawley

The Harper government unveiled their budget on Tuesday — a 518-page document that includes a $1.4 billion surplus as well as other targeted spending initiatives.

Announced at the

House of Commons in Ottawa, Finance minister Joe Oliver presented the 2015 federal budget that features spending in areas such as defence and security, transit, and marking Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017.

Balancing the budget

Low Dose Naltrexone for Cancer, Fibromyalgia and Autoimmune Conditions By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

Naltrexone has been used since 1984 for the treatment of heroin and opium addiction at a dose of 50 mg per day as it blocks the opioid receptors in the brain. In 1985, Dr. Bernard Bihari discovered that a dose of only 3 mg per day can have a significant effect on immune function, pain and certain cancers. Research over the last 20 years has shown that immune function is regulated by endorphins produced by our bodies to act on opioid receptors and blocking these receptors while increasing endorphins can help modulate the immune response. This is especially important in autoimmune conditions such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis as well as cancer since cancer cells have the ability to alter and avoid immune destruction.

Low dose naltrexone is able to increase the activity immune cells that help fight cancer while limiting the immune cells that may be helping the cancer survive or in the case of autoimmune conditions, attacking normal cells. Low dose naltrexone has also been shown to increase the amount of endorphins and metankephalins in the system which are the body’s natural opioids or pain relievers. This not only helps to balance immune function, but can help alleviate the pain associated with fibromyalgia.

Side effects of naltrexone at such a low dose are extremely rare, but some have noticed a disturbance of sleep or digestive upset which usually subside after the first week. It is important to work with a health professional that is properly trained to use naltrexone as dosing must be titrated up.

For more information in low dose naltrexone and other cancer treatments please feel free to contact us at 778-4815008 or info@roots-to-health.com

was a key priority for Oliver—a priority shared

by Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks.

“Well, it was a promise we had given to Canadians in the 2011 election platform, that we would balance the budget by the time the next election came along, and we did that.”

The budget will have far-reaching implications even into the Kootenay region, said Wilks.

For starters, the budget will reduce the small business tax rate from 11 per cent to 9 per cent by 2019. There will also be a one-time $65 million investment to business and industry to work with post-secondary institutions to better align the curricula with the needs of employers.

“As you know, the College of the Rockies has worked well with several businesses around Kootenay-Columbia region, most specifically with Teck, but I’m sure this will give them an opportunity to

move forward with others as well,” said Wilks.

There will be $2.8 billion available for infrastructure improvements for heritage, tourism, waterways and highway assets within the national historic sites and national parks across Canada.

“So we know when they talk about highway assists within national parks, specifically Yoho, Glacier, and Mount Revelstoke national parks— that’s significant national highway assets that they need to deal with,” continued Wilks.

“I had put a proposal forward to the minister and I’m hoping that I will be able to get a significant portion of that budget to improve the highway from the Alberta border to the Revelstoke area.”

Reminiscing back to when he addressed the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce earlier in April, Wilks noted the budget includes the creation of an internal trade

promotion office within Industry Canada.

“I just spoke with the Chamber last week and challenged them to be the movers and shakers in that so I think there’s some great opportunity for Cranbrook, not only there in [city] council, but also in the Cranbrook business community, to be leaders in trying to move this forward,” Wilks said.

Approximately $10 million per year for three years will go towards supporting conservation of recreational fishing across the country.

Wilks says he hopes that funding can be used for Kokanee conservation efforts in Kootenay Lake.

“We know in Kootenay Lake right now we’re having a problem with the Kokanee salmon— they’re dying at an alarming rate,” he said.

“Hopefully there are rod and gun clubs or fisheries clubs in the area that will be able to access some of this funding and

move forward with some of the rehabilitation in that area.”

Wayne Stetski, the NDP candidate for the Kootenay-Columbia riding, criticized Oliver’s budget in an emailed statement.

“The Harper Conservatives have tabled a budget that continues the pattern they’ve followed from the start, ignoring the needs of the middle class while giving tax breaks to the wealthy,” Stetski said.

“I believe that voters will judge the Harper Conservatives on their record: the highest deficit budget in Canada’s history at $58.2 billion, and 7 straight deficit budgets. With that record, saying they’ll balance the budget now, right before an election, is going to be pretty tough for most Canadians to believe.”

Stetski accuses the Harper government of giving tax breaks to core supporters and authoring a budget that doesn’t serve the needs of Canadians.

“What is important to the people of Kootenay Columbia that is not present in this budget is affordable day care, increasing the Guaranteed Income Supplement for seniors, and enhanced infrastructure funding to rebuild our communities and provide good local jobs,” Stetski said.

“Those are my priorities.”

Other budget highlights include: • The federal contingency fund drops to $1 billion in 2015-16, returning to $3 billion by 2019.

• An additional $11.8

roughly a 300,000-membership across Canada, believes an ageing population is a societal challenge and not just a concur for people once they hit a certain age or life stage.

Nationally, CARP focuses on issues such as pension reform, health care, importance of caregivers, rights of older workers, eliminating elder abuse, and creating age friendly communities.

Members are also entitled to benefits that include insurance, travel and accommodation, car rentals, optical services and hearing devices and home care services.

While the chapter launch is upcoming, Bailey-Romanko and other organizers are still in the process of forming a board.

With the formation of the chapter in the Kootenay region, Bailey-Romanko is emphasizing that CARP isn’t

trying to step on the toes of other organizations who offer programs to senior and retired citizens.

“We’re not here to replace any one of them.

In fact, partly why it took us a year is because it took us over a year to add up all the seniors organizations in just Cranbrook,” she said.

“We had over 15.”

The intent, is to link and share information between each different group, she added.

Anyway, the Saudi Arabian Air Force want them to collapse in hysterical laughtook them out, so we can all rest easier ter.

What can have possessed Saudi Arabia now. A Saudi billionaire has even prom-

to launch this foredoomed aerial campaign, and rope in practically every other Sunni Arab state to send a few planes along to help? Mostly, it was simple paranoia. The Saudi Arabian authorities have convinced themselves that the “Shias” (by which they usually mean Iran) are on the offensive, and gobbling up any Arab territories where they can find fellow Shias.

The Houthis are Shias. Q.E.D. There was a lot of talk about Iran supplying arms to the Houthis at the start of the bombing campaign, and the Saudis managed to get almost every other Sunni Arab counry to send a couple of planes along to help. At the end of it, General al-Asiri didn’t mention the Iranians at all.

Maybe they all went home (although it would be hard to leave with all the airports shut and the coast under naval blockade.

Or maybe they were never there.

Bigger countries have made bigger mistakes and paid quite small prices: the United States invading Iraq, for example.

Saudi Arabia won’t pay a big price either, for it appears that the grown-ups in Riyadh have intervened after a month and turned the military machine off. No follow-up ground invasion, just a smooth transition to “Operation Restore Hope”, the humanitarian aid they would have provided after they’d won, if they had won.

Saudi Arabia is well out of it, and as outcomes go, it’s less bad than many. Just a bit of advice. Stop using those American-style names for operations. When the United States started using them is when it started fighting dumb wars, and losing them.

STOP PRESS: On Wednesday, the Saudis started bombing again, but just a bit, they said. Oh, well...

MS Walk is approaching: May 3 What’s Up?

F o r t h e To w n s m a n

T

his year’s 2015 Scotia Bank MS Walk is dedicated to Karen McGregor and all of the people everywhere whose lives have been affected by Multiple Sclerosis.

The following is a brief article written by a dear friend of Karen’s.

“Karen McGregor was born, raised and lived her life in Cranbrook. She was the oldest of three children in a long time resident family, in a home filled with much love. She was an incredible wife and soul mate to Ron and an excellent, caring and loving mother to their three sons.

Karen was truly a caring and giving person. Every task she took on she gave 110 per cent. She was very organized and dedicated.

After she was diagnosed with MS she became the East Kootenay MS Self-help group’s best and most

effective fund raiser. In her years working on group events, she had an outstanding positive and upbeat attitude, which affected everyone involved. Karen along with her dedicated family and loyal friends raised funds for the MS Society and the East Kootenay MS Selfhelp Group. She did this to support the group’s goal, “to make people living with MS in our area have a better quality of life.”

Karen was the Walk Coordinator for two years and in many of the other walks held in Cranbrook, she was behind the scenes spending endless hours to assist the Walk Coordinator for that year’s event, to make each one as successful as possible. Through her efforts she not only raised many thousands for our group but also directly for the MS Society, mainly through the MS Walks.

Karen McGregor Also, Karen was involved in the local Paraplegic Group, helping to make Cranbrook more wheel chair accessible. She was a strong advocate for persons living in wheel chairs. Karen was always looking for more ways to give back to her community and help others. Even though she herself was in a wheel chair she loved to hold the door open

for anyone with a disability or a senior.

When Karen was told she had leukemia it was already very advanced and she was rushed to Vancouver only to find that it was a rare and aggressive type and she had a limited time. But Karen was able to have several months at home before she passed in September of 2014. She had a remarkable atti-

tude and even on a bad day the worst she was ever heard to say was “Today isn’t a good day” and left it at that.

Whenever asked how she was doing she would respond, “I’m OK!” in a very upbeat voice. Then she would say “More importantly how are you?” But that was Karen only being Karen.

Karen was such a strong, together, giving, loving, positive, cheerful person. Karen’s fight with MS and leukemia is over, she fought both gallantly with grace and dignity and during all this time she put others before her own problems and limitations.”

Please join us in carrying on Karen’s legacy by signing up to walk on May 3 or by donating to help us end MS. For further information, please visit mswalks.ca or call Cyndie, the Walk Coordinator at 250-426-0020.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of April 19-25 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1903 Clean up your yards ... Sanitary Inspector Morris is after the careless people with a red hot stick, and purposes to enforce the law. No one is allowed to throw dish water or other refuse matter on the ground.

Cesspools of some kind must be provided. The health of the community must be guarded, and Mr. Morris has radical instructions on this point. Furthermore, anyone found dumping refuse matter in the woods close to town will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Clean up your yards and lanes and save trouble.

Watch that water … There are people still foolish enough to use the water from the wells on the flat of this town. They are surely courting death in a most reckless manner by doing. The wells are not deep and the water is surface drainage, therefore containing the most dangerous germs. No one should use it at this time of the year. Good water can be secured at a reasonable price, and if it is learned that any of the wells are being used for domestic purposes they will be closed.

John Fink back to stay ...

John Fink returned to Cran-

brook last Sunday and in the future will remain here and associate himself with his brother J. P. Fink in the management of the Fort Steele Mercantile company. John Fink was one of the early settlers in the boom days of Fort Steele, and had charge of the company’s business in this district when it had stores at Fort Steele, Cranbrook and Wardner. Since his departure two years ago and the concentrating of the business in one store here at Cranbrook, J. P. Fink has been manager. Both of the men are popular throughout the district, and now that they are to be associated in the management, it will make a great team. There are few better business men than the two Fink’s.

Well received … Harold Nelson, after the presentation of Hamlet Saturday night, said that he had not played to a more intelligent audience since leaving Winnipeg, as they gave evidence by their applause that they thoroughly appreciated the finer points of play. Well, Cranbrook is made up of the salt of the earth.

Mixed message … Two young ladies got a horse and rig off Harry Fairfield recently for a drive to the Mission. Just as they started out they asked if the horse was perfectly safe. ‘‘He’s all right,” said Harry, “if you keep the rein off his tail”.

On their return that evening, Harry asked the ladies how the horse drove. “Oh, he was per-

fectly lovely,” said one of the maidens. “It rained a little while we were driving out, but one of us drove while the other held an umbrella over his tail, and not a drop of rain got on it, so we had no trouble at all.”

And it took Harry an hour to get the dazed look off his face.

1904 Two lacrosse leagues formed … A meeting of the Crows Nest Lacrosse league was held at Frank, on the 16th to form a schedule for the season and to elect officers for the year 1904. The following delegates were present: A. E. Brongham, Medicine Hat. Dr. Stewart, Lethbridge. A. B. Stafford, secretary, Crows Nest Lacrosse league, Lethbridge. F. Robertson Frank. Jas. Shepard, Fernie.

D. J. McSweyn, S. A. Clancey, Cranbrook. The meeting was a lively one from the start and it lasted fully five hours. Some new clauses were entered in the book of rules, which were as follows: The fifteen mile limit which heretofore was allowed teams to be picked from was done away with, and also official referees were appointed, one from each town and one outsider. In the case of deciding on a referee, the visiting team is to make a choice of two, either one of which will be satisfactory to them, and send the name to the home team, which team can choose either one of the two named. If they are unable to make a satisfactory choice from the two given

them, the matter is placed in the hands of the president of the league, who appoints a referee for that match. The teams who play will each bear one half of the referee’s expenses.

Sight for sore eyes … Do you want to see a lot of old maids in all their glory? Then be sure and go to Wentworth Hall next Wednesday evening.

It will pay you and you cannot afford to miss it. It takes courage for any lady of doubtful age to acknowledge that she is in the old maid class, yet there will be a bunch of them on exhibition at Wentworth Hall next Wednesday evening.

Keep them clean … The Herald refused two ads. this week for which it was offered twice the rate paid by local business men. The reason was that they were of a class that this paper will not publish.

Nothing but clean advertising can get into the columns of the Herald.

Move red lights ... A petition has been generally signed by the ladies of the town to have the red-light district moved from its present location to some portion of the town more remote from the business centre.

Improvements … The main street of Cranbrook has been greatly improved lately by the building of sidewalks and crossings. The people put up for every dollar by personal subscription and the whole town received the benefit.

Cranbrook Bandits ready to play with tryouts in the books Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Bernie Williams set to retire with Yankees ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK - The Yankees say Bernie Williams will sign a minor league contract Friday and then retire, nine years after playing his last game.

New York said Wednesday it will host a news conference with Williams before Friday night’s game against the Mets, and Williams will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Williams became a free agent after

the 2006 season, declined the Yankees’ offer to attend spring training in 2007 on a minor league contract and didn’t play again.

New York announced in February it will retire Williams’ No. 51 May 24.

Williams was a fivetime All-Star with the Yankees from 1991-2006, hitting .297 with 287 homers and 1,257 RBIs. He earned four World Series rings and won the 1998 AL batting title.

The boys of summer are back…almost.

In anticipation of summer, the Cranbrook Bandits held tryouts for the 2015 edition of their American Legion Baseball squad Wednesday night at Confederation Park in Cranbrook.

“It’s exciting. The last couple weeks, I’ve been getting excited to get out here again,” said Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek prior to tryouts Wednesday evening. “I think [our players] are ready to go and roll into this.”

Though tryouts are in the books, the 2015 ball season for Cranbrook’s local club won’t get underway until the weekend of May 9, when the Bandits travel to Libby, Mont., for their season-opening tournament.

Despite the 16-day wait until opening day, expectations are already high for the Bandits, with 13 players returning from the 2014 Montana State ‘B’ Championship squad.

“A lot of these teams are gunning for us,” Mrazek said. “We have to make sure we are confident, but we can’t

get too cocky.

“We’ve got to continue to get better and go in there with the expectation we’re going to play everyone the same way.

We’re going to play our game. It doesn’t matter how we’re playing offensive or defensively.

Make our routine plays.

“We can’t go in there too confident and on our heels thinking it’s going to be an easy win just because we’ve got 13 returning players. I’ll be setting that tone of, yeah, we did well [last season], but we’re going to continue to improve.”

Mrazek’s returning crew is a strong one, fuelled by MVP and Offensive Player of the Year Devon Marra, as well as Defensive Player of the Year Brandon Ouillette and Pitcher of the Year Tyler Thorn.

Even with a heavy compliment of returners, Mrazek faces some tough decision-making as he looks to fill out his roster with fresh faces from the East Kootenay region.

A total of nine hopefuls hit the diamond

Wednesday evening, headed by players from Cranbrook, Creston and Kimberley.

“I’m looking for kids that I see with athleticism that are coachable that I can develop,” Mrazek said. “Whether a kid goes and plays college baseball or not, that’s another story. But I’m working to develop all my players.”

Wednesday’s session provided Mrazek an opportunity to evaluate all hopefuls on their throwing and hitting mechanics, arm and bat strength and direction, and last, but certainly not least, defensive abilities in regards to fielding ground- and fly-balls.

If the Bandits program is a testament for Mrazek’s work in development, the 2014 season is proof of how far he’s taken the program.

In 2014, the Bandits put forth their best season on record since Mrazek took over the head coaching duties in 2007, going 20-23 en route to claiming the Montana State ‘B’ Championship with a

decisive 11-5 victory over the Medicine Hat Majestics.

Following Wednesday’s tryouts, Mrazek intended on assessing the results before making decisions on final roster spots.

With 13 returners and the option to carry 16 players, there is room for up to three new bodies on the active roster with an additional two slots on the practice roster.

The Cranbrook Bandits baseball team features players aged 15 to 19.

Between practice time and games, the team hits the diamond upwards of six times a week, with game play typically coming in the form of weekend tournaments, often featuring double-headers.

The Bandits provide the highest form of competitive baseball in the East Kootenay.

During the 2014 season, they played 43 games over an 11-week period and the aim is to hit a similar mark again in 2015.

The Bandits’ first home games of the 2015 season are slated for Saturday, May 23, with a double-header against Eureka.

The first Kootenay Warriors Spring Hockey Challenge wrapped up this past weekend at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook and according to organizers, it went off without a hitch.

“It was a fantastic weekend,” said organizer Corey Spring in a team press release.

“Things kicked off on Friday night with some exciting end-to-end hockey that continued right through Sunday.

Coffey heads Canadian Sports Hall Class of 2015 CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Former NHL star Paul Coffey, soccer player Craig Forrest, freestyle skier Jennifer Heil and women’s hockey player Danielle Goyette headline Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame’s Class of 2015.

Speedskater Susan Auch, judoka Nicolas Gill, para-swimmer Michael Edgson, cross-country skiers Sharon and Shirley Firth, and track cyclist Lori-Ann Muenzer will also be inducted in the athlete category.

Jocelyne Bourassa (golf) and Marina van der Merwe (field hockey) will enter the Hall in the builder category.

The induction ceremony will be held Oct. 21 at Toronto’s Mattamy Athletic Centre.

“Beyond the on-ice action, we had great spectators and the out of town teams had many positive comments about the Warriors Challenge and the hospitality they received from city businesses during their stay.”

The 2006 Okanagan All Stars claimed the first edition of the spring hockey challenge with a decisive 7-1 victory over the West Kootenay Avalanche April 19.

Comprised of players from Cranbrook and Kimberley, the local 2006 Warriors squad registered a record of 2-1-1 over the weekend,

including an 8-4 victory in the third-place game against the Southern Alberta Battle.

The four-team tournament opened Friday night as the local Kootenay Warriors went headto-head with the eventual-champion Okanagan All Stars, with the tilt ending in a 4-4 draw.

In its first year, the Kootenay Warriors Spring Hockey Program features teams in the 2004, 2005 and 2006 age divisions.

The 2004 Warriors wrapped their threegame exhibition set with a record of 0-2-1, while the 2005 Warriors came out 1-2-0 after the weekend.

“We would like to sincerely thank the volunteers and the business community for supporting us,” Spring said. “This is a new program and its success relies on the support we receive from parents and the community, so we are very grateful to everyone who contributed through the donation of gifts, sponsorship, or by volunteering their time.”

The End of the World: Patagonia

Diane Manson from Mountain City Travel concludes a two part series exploring travels at the end of the world You’d be hardpressed to identify a part of the world that can top Patagonia for natural splendour. And once you’ve seen it for yourself, you won’t even bother to try.

The scenery down here at the south tip of South America is an adventurer’s dream come true: stunning volcanic landscapes, massive glaciers, sprawling steppe-like plains stretching to the horizon.

In its enormous scale, Patagonia offers a dizzying wealth of experiences and landscapes.

Throw in rich cultural tradition, world-class food and wine, and the thriving nightlife of the region’s largest cities and you’ll wish you’d bought a one-way ticket.

Adventure lovers, welcome home!

With many itineraries conveniently ending in Ushuaia, a tour of Patagonia can provide the

perfect leap-off point to an Antarctica expedition cruising program.

You’ll want to build in plenty of time to explore Patagonia’s treasures: the trekking and climbing paradise of the Fitz Roy sector of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, accessed from the laidback village of El Chaltén; and the blueand-white hues of Glaciar Perito Moreno, one of the world’s natural wonders, within easy reach of the tourist hotspot of El Calafate.

If Antarctica’s your ultimate destination, however, you’ll be headed for Tierra del Fuego— one of the world’s last inhabited regions and still incredibly untouched and undisturbed. It is the end of the Andes and the gateway to the continent of ice and snow—a land of fjords and inlets, of valleys and vicious peaks, of endless and constant wind, of lakes and is-

lands, and history and exploration.

Even as the rest of the world shrinks—the dramatic landscapes of Patagonia retain a feeling of being truly far away.

November to March is high season in Patagonia, although sometimes the weather doesn’t feel very ‘summery’, the winter brings even more temperamental weather but fewer travellers.

It is a good idea to contact an agent or outfitter to plan your stay and handle transfers in Patagonia. Since plane arrivals and excursions into this part of the world are often dependent on the weather, it helps to have someone who can assist with any unforeseen circumstances.

So what are you waiting for? Whether you’re camping out in the shadows of the otherworldly mountainscapes of Torres del

Patagonia is full of wondrous scenery and sweeping vistas.

Paine National Park, witnessing massive chunks of ice calve off the Perito Moreno Glacier or exploring Ush-

uaia, the world’s most southerly city, you won’t be able to shake the feeling that you’re seeing nature at its purest and

rawest.

Antarctica will surprise you in every way.

you there in just the way you want. Call toll-free 1 877-427-2233 or 250427-2233, or email travel@mcity.ca.

Late May through June is historically the time of year does give birth to their fawns. Does will drive away their offspring from the previous year and look for a secluded place to give birth. Deer have one or two fawns per year and triplets do occur once in a while. The white-spotted fawn relies on its colouration, lack of scent and silence for protection. It is quite common for does to leave fawns hidden while they forage in the area, returning occasionally to nurse. If you come across a fawn, it is best to leave it alone.

DISPOSAL OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE Under the Waste Collection and Disposal bylaw, any trade refuse from commercial and industrial properties, as well as any construction sites, is the responsibility of the owner, renter or contractor to have it removed at his/her own expense.

Construction materials to be disposed of must be transported to the Transfer Station, not dumped on vacant lots or otherwise illegally dumped. Visit our website and click on ‘Bylaws’ for more on all of our City bylaws.

It is also important for residents to remember that does with fawns are very wary of their surroundings and can act or react aggressively if they feel threatened. Give the deer plenty of space to either move or leave the area. Do not walk closer to the deer, choose another route. Be sure to walk your dog on a leash and be ready to let go of the leash if a deer attacks.

The Guide Dog and Service Dog Act – Bill 17 With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

1

Guide and service dogs provide a true lifeline for many British Columbians. The proposed changes to the act will ensure the people who use guide or service dogs to perform critical daily tasks or services, have improved access to restaurants, transit vehicles and any place to which the public is invited.

2

New, high training standards for guide and service dogs will be put into place to strengthen public safety. There will be new requirements around visible identification to make it clear to business owners, landlords and transit staff that a dog accompanying someone is fully certified.

3

The changes will clarify tenancy rights to ensure individuals with guide and service dogs – including retired dogs – are not being prevented from keeping them in their residence. This proposed legislation delivers on a commitment made in Accessibility 2024.

FROM THE BC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE POLICY PLATFORM Skilled Workforce As B.C. grapples with a skills shortage, the province’s economic future hinges on attracting and training up a workforce that can meet our growing labour needs.

The Issue: B.C.’s economic growth is dependent on the availability of a skilled workforce.

B.C. business and industry can become, and remain, competitive only by the continued investment in, and maintenance of, the highest standard of human capital.

B.C. currently faces a unique challenge with a skills shortage existing in many regions and in key sectors.

Our Goal: Through partnerships with government, educators and trainers, the BC Chamber’s goal is to ensure that the province has the skilled workforce needed to compete in the 21st century.

Further, the Chamber’s goal is to work with training providers to develop programs and initiatives to provide businesses with the ability to train workers.

We Recommend: •

a more responsive education system,

•

an industry-led training approach, and

•

an immigration policy that recognises the reality of B.C.’s labour markets and allows immigrants speedy access to the job opportunities this market creates.

DEMOCRACY – Use it or Lose it

By David D. Hull, Executive Director

The BC Government created the Local David D. Hull Government Elections Task Force to recommend changes to rules governing Local Government Elections to be in place in advance of the 2018 elections.

Part of this process was a Special Committee tasked to establish expense limits for candidates, elector organizations, and third party advertisers in local elections.

A series of stakeholder engagement processes, that included public hearings, were set throughout the province including one for the East Kootenays in Cranbrook April 02.

The Chamber of Commerce being rightfully concerned about all elections and particularly local government ones I signed up to present to the committee.

Much to my surprise ten days in advance of what I was confident would be a compelling presentation a staffer called to inform me that the Cranbrook hearings had been cancelled due to lack of interest.

I was the only person from the entire East Kootenays that registered to present. I was gob smacked. No current or recent politician, defeated candidate, electoral group, special interest group, or citizen in the entire EK had an interest or concern?

As Canadians we enjoy a high level of democracy and freedoms that millions worldwide continue to fight and die for to obtain a modicum of what is granted daily to Canadians.

identified as a concern by individuals and groups from all sides of the political spectrum. The East Kootenays apparently the exception.

The most demonstrable example of a need for limits and controls was during the last elections in Vancouver. In a long established party system Vison Vancouver spent just short of $3.5 million dollars while the next dominant NPA party spent ~$2 million dollars.

This represents $18.34 and $11.19 per registered voter respectively to campaign for their slate of candidates. By comparison fiscal confines set in Toronto and Montreal limit election spending to $0.85 and $1.50 respectively.

In Cranbrook, to date, expenditures by candidates, organizations, and third parties engaged in local government elections has been reasonable and not a cause for concern. However, with no regulations in place to ensure a fair and balanced election process this could change at the drop of a large cheque.

All the citizens of Cranbrook should be very concerned that our local government is not high jacked one day by someone with more money that good civic sense. We need to elect politicians, all levels, based on skills, abilities, and a genuine altruism for our community not the size of their fiscal resources.

Ensuring your democratic right is fully and properly exercised begins before your trip to the polls. Use it or lose it.

The cornerstone of the formation of government is the election process.

It is paramount that elections, at all levels, are free from unjustifiable influence and allow everyone to participate at a relatively equal level within a framework of fairness.

The need for election expense limits has long been

What to Do about Income Inequality Hendrik Brakel, Senior Director, Economic, Financial & Tax Policy, Canadian Chamber of Commerce Is it time to worry about the middle class and the rising gap between rich and poor? It’s not just academics anymore—even businesses like McKinsey and TD Bank are taking a hard look at income inequality and what it means for economic growth.

and the best stores on earth. Manufacturers have to perform because they are up against the most innovative companies in the U.S., the least expensive products from China and new products from anywhere. There is no place to hide from global competition.

Firstly, it’s true that income inequality has been getting worse in most OECD countries. In Canada, the top 1% earns about 12% of all income, up from 8% in the early 1980s. In the U.S., the top 1% earns 23% of all income, up from 15% in the 1980s. What’s more troubling is that income growth for the average family has been fairly flat.

After a decline in the 1990s, Canadian incomes have been rising but they’ve recovered to only just above the inflation-adjusted levels of 1988. In the U.S., they actually fell slightly. So why are wages flattening across the developed world?

For Canada, this means that goods are better and cheaper, which raises our purchasing power—we all appreciate lower prices for clothes, food and TVs. The challenge is the adjustment required of Canadian industries. Thirty years ago, Canada’s textile industry employed tens of thousands of workers hunched over sewing machines. Today, our textile industry has become a smaller, leaner fashion industry, with highly skilled designers, highly automated factories and the bulk of the manual fabrication done in Asia. Business is far more efficient, but these trends are hard for large parts of the labour force.

The most important factor is technology. For centuries, civilization has been automating repetitive tasks—from the steam engine to robotic welders and computer software. But today, technology is accelerating and it’s pressuring the job market. A recent Oxford study estimates that 45% of jobs in the U.S. are at risk of being automated and taken over by computers by 2033.

Secondly, increased trade has massively grown the global availability of labour and capital. Thanks to falling trade barriers and advances in shipping, countries that were previously left out of global trade have seen exports and incomes flourish. The global poverty rate, which was over 25% in 2005, is falling by 1-2% every year, lifting around 70 million people annually out of destitution, mostly by bringing them into the global labour force.

Thirdly, the Internet is breaking down barriers and bringing the world to our doorstep. Retailers are competing every day with Amazon, Walmart

Technology and trade are polarizing incomes, causing fierce competition for highly skilled knowledge workers while reducing demand for low-skilled jobs.

What can we do? If we know employers will pay more for skills, then part of the response must be improved education and training. But we also have to invest more in R&D, in tax incentives and in venture capital for new innovative companies, so that the technologies to compete and win are located right here in Canada. The firms that succeed in the global economy will happily pay higher wages, hire more people and create prosperity for Canadians.

That’s why the Canadian Chamber of Commerce wants business competitiveness to be the #1 issue in the coming election. Because to create prosperity in today’s globalized economy, you have to win.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON LOCAL ELECTIONS EXPENSE LIMITS

POINTS from PARLIAMENT

Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce is the Voice of Business for the City of Cranbrook; the economic, cultural, and social hub of the East Kootenays.

The Cranbrook Chamber joins Chambers of Commerce and Boards of Trade in British Columbia and across Canada representing the entire depth and breadth of businesses, trade, and commerce across the nation.

A great place to live, work, and play is a great place to do business. British Columbia is a great place to live and the Chamber member takes great interest to ensure it remains so.

As Canadians we enjoy a high level of democracy and freedoms that millions worldwide continue to fight for, with many dying, in efforts to obtain a modicum of what is granted daily to Canadians.

The cornerstone of the formation of government is the election process.

It is paramount that elections, at all levels, are free from unjustifiable influence and allow everyone to participate at a relatively equal level within a framework of fairness.

Elections at the Federal and Provincial level, and at the local government level in many provinces, have enjoyed the protection of campaign financing and expenditure regulations in addition to conventions on third party involvement.

British Columbia is a notable exception.

In Cranbrook, to date, expenditures by candidates, organizations, and third parties engaged in local government elections has been reasonable and not a cause for concern. With no regulations in place to ensure a fair and balanced election process this could change at the drop of a large cheque.

The business community of Cranbrook have a concrete and vested investment in the community and as such a need to have assurances that the local government is elected in a fair, transparent, and balanced process.

Based on the principals of Fairness, Transparency, Accountability, and Balance a legislative framework governing local government election expenditures needs to be enacted in British Columbia.

FAIRNESS

A system needs to be in place to allow all parties interested in local government elections to have an opportunity to partake. Extensive financial resources should not be a precursor to participation.

In addition, sufficient provisions should allow those more invigorated and engaged in the process to benefit from their efforts.

THE CRANBROOK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RECOMMENDS •

That election spending limits be established for candidates, parties, slates, and third party participants

in all local government elections that are under the purview of the Province of BC.

a fair chance to be represented in the election process.

with

DAVID WILKS

MP Kootenay - Columbia

•

That a multi-tier system be created to recognize the inherent differences between large and small communities.

However, a fair balance needs to be struck to ensure that those significantly invested in the process are not retarded in their efforts when measured against a selfmarginalized participant.

•

That the spending limits be based on population constructed formula.

THE CRANBROOK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RECOMMENDS

•

That legislation ensures a balance is created to protect the election process from undue and unfair fiscal influence while providing sufficient latitude to allow the democratic process to be fully exercised.

Canadians understand the importance of living within their means and expect the Government to do the same.

•

Unlike the Liberal leader, who thinks budgets balance themselves, our Government remains committed to bringing Canada back to balance in 2015.

•

Balanced budgets keep taxes low and ensure that government services like health care and money for bridges and roads are sustained over the long run for Canadians.

•

That is why we are introducing balanced legalisation.

•

This new legislation would prevent Governments from running deficits except in extraordinary circumstances (such as a recession).

•

Should a Government introduce a deficit outside of these situations, the salaries of Ministers and Deputy Ministers would be reduced by 5% and an automatic operating freeze would go into effect until a return to balanced budgets is achieved.

British Columbia is a great place to live and the Chamber member takes great interest to ensure it remains so.

TRANSPARENCY

It is imperative that regulatory legislation be inherently transparent. The most fair and honest system will only succeed if it extremely transparent, accessible, and understood.

THE CRANBROOK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RECOMMENDS •

•

•

That local elections expense limit regulations have no level of ambiguity or room for interpretation contrary to the spirit and objectives of the statue.

That clarity in legislation is such that any reasonable person involved at any level in the election process understands their responsibility.

•

The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce is appreciative of the opportunity to present their views to the special Committee on Local Elections Expense Limits.

We are confident that the Committee recommendations and resulting legislation will result in a positive change in the local government election process in British Columbia.

Our Record:

That access to information be fundamentally simple and available without application

ACCOUNTABILITY

A rule of law is rendered impotent if there is no real and demonstrable consequences for noncompliance. A threat of enforcement is hollow if there is no intention to exercise the power of the force. Democracy needs to be held sacrosanct and rigorously defended as the foundation of our society.

•

We are providing benefits directly to families to help them balance their budget.

•

But if given the chance, the opposition would raise taxes and drive Canada into dangerous debt.

•

While we’re focused on creating jobs, the Liberal leader has the same old Liberal high tax, high debt agenda that will threaten jobs and set working families back.

•

The NDP continues to push risky high-tax schemes like a $20 billion carbon tax that would hurt Canada’s economy and kill Canadian jobs.

•

We urge the opposition to support this historic and important piece of legalisation to keep current and future governments to account.

THE CRANBROOK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RECOMMENDS •

That demonstrable, significant, and enforceable compliance provisions be included in Local Election Expense Limits legislation

BALANCE

Local Election Expense Limits legislation needs to strike a balance to ensure that elections are decided on merit rather than fiscal resources. Every candidate or interested party should have

Vancouver Folk Maverick Returns to Cranbrook Rodney DeCroo on tour for ‘Campfires on the Moon’ CD Ferdy Belland

“I

’ve never really struggled to write songs,” says Vancouver singer-songwriter Rodney DeCroo. “It’s not that hard to write a song.

I struggle to write good songs. That’s where it gets tough. But the songwriting gods have been pretty good to me. I have a handful of songs I’m very proud of, and I’ve got a few new ones I haven’t recorded yet that I’m really excited about.

That’s always a good feeling.”

The good feeling continues this coming Friday. April 24. at the Studio Stage Door Theatre in downtown Cranbrook as the Fisher Peak Performing Artists Society (FPPAS) presents Rodney DeCroo live in concert, with guests Mark Haney and ‘Great Aunt Ida’ Nilsen.

Rodney DeCroo follows the beat of his own drum. Closing in now on the dangerous side of 50, he was born the son of a

PTSD-damaged Vietnam veteran who deserted from the US Marine Corps and dragged his family through various small towns in the remote BC interior (DeCroo’s father briefly managed the Tudor House Hotel in Cranbrook at the turn of the 1980s, with the young Rodney in tow). Weathering a harsh childhood traumatized by verbal and physical abuse, DeCroo discovered releases in both the guitar and the bottle by the time he entered his teens...emotional pain that courses through much of his recorded output (seven critically-acclaimed albums to his credit).

Emotional pain has never been anything DeCroo cultivated as a insincere act. Previously notorious for his touchy temper as much as his fiery performances, DeCroo was considered to be a unique cross between Roky Erikson and Steve Earle; a talented

songwriting eccentric who ran hot and cold, building a loyal, spellbound audience almost despite himself. However, DeCroo has conquered his demons, for the most part. Clean and sober now for many years, he finds focus and discipline with his jujitsu studies as much as through his artistic muse (DeCroo is also highly respected as a poet and a playwright). And his music resounds even stronger for it.

“I hunger to play shows for audiences,” DeCroo admits. “I don’t know how much anybody hungers for the road for its own sake, at my age. It’s bloody hard, but it’s necessary if you want to play - and I want to play. I need to play.

The longer I do it, the more experienced I become at it, and the better I’m able to connect with my audiences. And when more people come to the shows who know what I do and

Rodney DeCroo plays the Studio Stage Door Friday, April 24. come for it, then the shows get better and better as an experience.

Tours are not adventures. They’re more like odysseys. I come back changed as a person every time.”

Even though he’s touring Canada for Campfires on the Moon, he’s already well into his next few projects.”I’m working on a new album

called The Devil’s Brother. It’s a collection of Appalachian songs that I’ve entirely re-imagined.

I’ve kept the lyrics for each song, but musically, I’ve changed them completely. My goal’s to focus on the stories and the characters in the songs; they’re overlooked when they’re played now: the emphasis is just on pickin’ and

grinnin,’ and the words get lost.”

And his advice to other songwriters?

“Keep writing, keep playing, keep doing it.

There isn’t a ‘way.’ You have to find your way, and you can only do that by keeping on.”

The Fisher Peak Performing Artists Society presents Rodney DeCroo live

(with guests Mark Haney and ‘Great Aunt Ida’ Nilsen) at the Studio Stage Door Theatre (1111th Ave S., Cranbrook), Friday April 24, 7:30 pm.

Admission: $20 advance/$25door ($15 advance, $20 door for FPPAS members. Advance tickets available at Lotus Books and the CDAC office.

Through others, we become people Anastasia Bartlett, a member of St. Aiden’s Orthodox Church, looks at the importance of community in our lives.

Anastasia Bartlet t

Ahhhh, spring is here, in all it’s glory, greenery and warmth.

I was out doing some gardening prep, you know, stuff like hardening off the plants, turning the dirt in the boxes, weeding, cleaning out the leaves, that sort of stuff. And as it always does when I’m doing chores like this, my mind began to wander. I let it go unattended, but made sure it stayed in sight. (I’ve lost my mind a few times... very worrying, until it found its way home.)

My mind began to play with a quote from my latest reading list of practical theology; “it is through other people that we truly become people” and tried to smush it together with a quote from the U.S. presidential election two years; the phrase ‘you didn’t build that’ uttered by President Obama.

Hmm, I said to myself as my mind juggled the quotes while pointing out everything around me.

I couldn’t be loosening and turning the dirt,

if someone hadn’t invented the fork I was using, someone else manufacturing it and someone establishing the store to sell it to me.

I couldn’t have started my plants indoors if someone(or two or three) hadn’t grown the parent plants, gathered the seeds, packaged them and placed them in the store for me to buy along with the UV lights and pots.

Then there’s the potting soil, the electricity and the water. I did nothing to bring them into the house (except

“There is no personal salvation within the church, we are saved as a community.

Jesus is not my personal saviour, He is the saviour of all of creation.”

Anastasia Bartlett Even my homemade compost requires the worms and the horses providing the manure.

I didn’t provide the gravel in the walkways between the boxes, nor did I chop down the tree, saw the wood for the boxes or even make the boxes, my husband did that. My mind did not acquire what little gardening knowledge it has by skipping aimlessly through the forests.

No, that was purposely gleaned from books and internet articles written by others, conversations with those of greater experience, and working with my green-thumbed father from the time I could pick up a shovel.

That’s just a very short list of those who helped made me the ‘gardener’ I am today.

I do a lot of other things as well; cooking, sewing, crafting, to name a few.

Who are the people who contributed to those activities and helped shape me?

My family is obvious as are all the teachers I’ve had as well as authors I’ve read, religious leaders, neighbours, my students, and co-workers.

What about the stranger with whom I exchange smiles, the clerk, or the person I accidentally cut-off in traffic; let’s face it, in some way every single person

with whom I have interacted has touched me in some way and that includes the people who influenced them and so on and so on.

Wow, given the ripple effect, it might even be possible to say every single person on this planet can affect every other person on the planet in some manner.

But it doesn’t stop there. Because we can only exist within our delicately balanced environment, we have to consider our effect on the rest of creation and how it affects us.

There is a saying in the Orthodox Church, ‘we are saved together but are damned alone’.

There is no personal salvation within the church, we are saved as a community. Jesus is not my personal saviour, He is the saviour of all of creation. I can make a personal decision to choose to join with others on the journey to personhood, helping

them as they help me, but I can’t do it all by myself. When everyone depends upon every other one for everything, the whole concept of the individual, the self-made man completely falls apart.

We need each other in order to survive and thrive.

There is a growing number of people with physical and mental illnesses. Could this be related to society’s increasing tendency towards isolation?

We were not created to live alone, attempting to do so can be damaging if not deadly.

Spring is here and Christ is risen and all of creation with Him! Let us all be part of it.

Angels in the outfield

Hi Wendy: I was wondering if you could help me with a strange occurrence that happened to me a few days ago. I was working in my kitchen thinking of my dad and how he is doing in heaven. Out of the corner of my eye I seen a shape and it seemed to have a greenish tinge of colour.

Can you tell me who this was? I definitely felt a presence and I know I was not overly tired.

Can you also tell me how my dad is doing in heaven? My brothers and sisters miss him a lot. Thanks Wendy and thank your guides for me. Feeling Floating and Free Dear Feeling Floating and Free, The presence that you felt in your kitchen was the Archangel Raphael he usually has a green or bright emerald light surrounding him.

Raphael is the archangel for healing. He was coming down to help you heal from the loss of your father.

I made contact with your dad and told him of your email and asked him how he is doing and he replied. Tell her I am just fine in heaven. He often visits his mom and dad; they had a fine relationship when he was on this plan he just said to me. I think he really likes that word “fine.”

Your dad also wants me to tell you he has decided to start healing physically. He does not want to have any physical liabilities when he comes down the next time. He tells me that you will know what I am talking about. This means he does not want to have any birth defects when he enters this plane in his next reincarnation.

He likes the peace and tranquillity of his new home and does not plan on rushing his next reincarnation like he did his last one. He is smiling and waving to me and telling me he will be there I feel for a child’s birthday. I don’t know if it’s your child or one of your brothers or sisters children. He is holding up one finger. So it will be in one month’s time whoever is having a birthday or the child will be one year old. I hope this makes some sense to you. Wendy Hi Wendy: I was talking to my sister who came to see you and she told me you might be able to help me. I work in a highly

The reason why this woman talks to you about all her woes is because you are such an empathetic person.

Anyway, this cord is what we call in the metaphysical world an etheric cord. It’s kind of looks like surgical tubing, and it works like a gasoline hose.

This means this woman who has formed an attachment to you, suctions energy from you through this etheric ASK WENDY cord. Of course you cannot see it, but you Wendy can feel the effects— Evano like feeling hyper, or sad or drained without really knowing Dear Feeling why. The reason for this Drained: I use to have the is she is drawing your same problem many positive energy and is years ago when I would sending toxic energy do readings for certain through this etheric individuals.

physical cause. So in cases such as these types of people you need to say as the old saying goes “cut the cord.” So I always like to call on the Archangel Michael with his mighty sword to sever the cord from the other person.

To contact Archangel Michael you say: “Archangel Michael, I call upon you now. Please cut the cords of fear that are draining my energy and vitality. Thank you.

Don’t forget to always say thank you after every prayer to your angels it’s important. This will in no way stop this person from talking to you about her life but her energy will not affect you emotionally or drain you anymore. I hope this angelic contact with Archangel Michael helps you, let me know. Wendy For personal and over the phone readings phone Wendy at 4262127. Email me at weva-

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You understand an expenditure surrounding your home and/or family. However, another person who is involved might not.

Clearly, you are alone in this choice. Follow your intuition on how to proceed, and let go of your vision. Tonight: Awkwardness will disappear.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your words have an impact; trust that others will react accordingly. A partner might seem distant, perhaps in response to what you are saying. Is getting your way more important than having an easy interaction? Find some middle ground. Tonight: A close friend cops an attitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be aware of what is occurring between you and someone else. Words could belie what is happening. Share more of what you care about, and encourage others to be more authentic.

Getting to that point might be interesting. Tonight: Buy a card on the way home.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Friends support your drive to get what you want and/or to complete a project. Your biggest barrier could be your energy; it’s not endless, though you act as if it is. Keep in mind the end results, but take needed breaks along the way. Tonight: Choose what is best for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A parent or higher-up seems to be very sure of him- or herself.

Use your instincts when dealing with this person, and you will know what to do. A key friend might help you create circumstances that are much more to your liking. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to imagine what it is like to have the power to change what is going on around you. A key associate seems inspired by your thinking, and he or she is likely to play a dominant role. Sit back and see what happens. Tonight: Hang with your friends.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might need to view a sit-

Tundra

uation in a different light. Your sense of humor could be off-color, but it will help many of those around you gain a perspective on their immediate dealings.

Pressure comes from your own expectations of yourself. Ease up some. Tonight: Say little.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Detach, and you’ll find the answers you’re looking for. Follow your instincts. Others might respond in a way that delights you. Recognize the lack of facts being presented by someone, and let your imagination fill in the gaps. Tonight: Listen to a favorite type of music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone close to you is likely to seek you out. Remain open, and listen to your intuition -- not your mental chatter. Recognize the role your inner dialogue plays in your life, especially if the facts are not confirmed. Relax and listen more. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of your ability to move people when you approach them with sensitivity. You could

feel a little off, as you might be depressed or tired. Make time for a cat nap or whatever else you feel will heal you. Tonight: What you say could be confusing, yet it will be right-on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Try to be more nurturing when dealing with those in your daily life. Your ability to empathize with others could be instrumental. A friend will let you know that he or she doesn’t agree with you. Listen, but tune in to your inner voice. Tonight: Avoid a heated discussion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Make it OK to be on cruise control, even if a boss or a parent criticizes your behavior. Do what is necessary to appease this person, and know that your intuition is working for you. If you are single, an encounter with a new person could be significant.

Tonight: Let down your hair.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Last week, our son came home from high school and told us that a boy at his school had killed himself.

The boy had been a friend of his since the fifth grade.

The school had a moment of silence over the public address system, but never mentioned the boy’s name.

Most of the details about the suicide are nonexistent, although there are a few things mentioned on a website asking for help paying for funeral costs.

Students who didn’t know the suicide victim are guessing it was caused by bullying. Our son says that’s not true.

Some students are even saying the fund requests are a scam.

We haven’t heard anything about whether the school is offering grief counseling. We’ve talked to our son about the tragedy and are trying our best to help him. Because the students have no information, they are making wild guesses and placing uninformed posts on social media. My question is why is this tragedy so secret? Should the school do more? -- Sad Mom Dear Sad: Sometimes, the school is ill-equipped to deal with such tragedies and does nothing, which tends to create a whirlwind of misinformation.

Also, the administration may fear that mentioning the details would create copycat suicides. But the details do not need airing. The acknowledgement of mourning, however, is important.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org) offers a Toolkit for Schools, and you should mention this to the administration. The foundation is also an excellent resource for anyone dealing with suicide, and you will find information there that will help you talk to your son about his friend.

Dear Annie: I would like to thank “B” for bringing attention to the telephone scammers who have been plaguing America.

I also would like to bring to your readers’ attention to a scam perpetrated by people claiming to be from the IRS. I have received three calls from these people. The “official” recorded message is totally bogus. The caller threatened me with arrest for ignoring the calls.

They instructed me to call a 202 area code, but it’s a private Washington, D.C., number, not the IRS. I have worked for a federal agency and know how things work. Please be aware of the following: 1. The IRS does not initiate contact by telephone. They use certified mail.

2. Legitimate government agencies have an 800 number.

3. The IRS will not arrest anyone over the phone. If an arrest is required, it will be after lengthy legal processes have been exhausted. You’ll know about it. Police agencies need a bona fide warrant to arrest people.

4. If you receive such a call, report it to the IRS at IRS@tigta.gov. Also notify your local police. -- Knows Better Dear Knows: Thank you for your expert advice. Calls pretending to be from the IRS can be particularly frightening for people who are so eager to cooperate that they give out personal financial information over the phone.

Please, folks, be careful.

MURRAY BRUCE â&#x20AC;&#x153;BARNEYâ&#x20AC;? DEARDEN Sept. 12,1923 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; April 17, 2015 Barney, a brave, loving, remarkable man, was born in East Angus, Quebec in 1923. He married the love of his life, Joan, in 1946 and they had a committed marriage enduring over 69 years.

He was a lifelong outdoors enthusiast who continued to climb Fisher Peak and to enjoy his annual salmon fishing trips with his family until well into his 8Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Hunting, fishing, hiking, exploring-these were all passions he pursued with joy and skill.

His strength and courage came to the fore during WWII when he stole his older brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth certificate and joined the Canadian Army in 1940 at age 16. He served with the joint USA/Canadian First Special Service Force (a commando unit known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brigadeâ&#x20AC;?). After surviving injuries sustained in a parachuting accident, he served with the Royal Hamilton Light infantry (R.H.L.l.), landing in Normandy just after D-Day in June 1944. He fought in several battles, including Caen, Verrieres Ridge, and the Falaise Gap. He was severely wounded on four separate occasions on October 16, 1944 during a night attack on Woensdrect (the battle of the Scheldt Estuary, Netherlands).Despite his injuries, he continued to lead his men to successfully secure an important objective against heavy odds. For his determination, bravery and inspired leadership, he was awarded the Military Medal for Valour by King George VI at an investiture at Buckingham Palace on February 16, 1945.

Following WWII, Barney and Joan moved to British Columbia from Quebec. Their first â&#x20AC;&#x153;houseâ&#x20AC;? was a wall tent in Campbell River, where they coped with eight feet of snow their first winter. Barney was a jack-of-all trades, working at many different jobs, but he and Joan realized a long time dream when they and their two young children moved to the East Kootenays and in 1960 bought and operated a cattle ranch at Mayook, near Cranbrook. They kept the ranch for over ten years. He then worked at Fort Steele and enjoyed restoring the old buildings, including the Theatre. Barney and Joan also lived a few years in New Denver and Kaslo, moving back to Cranbrook in 1985 to be close to the growing families of their two children.

In their later years, outdoor activities continued to be a joint passion, but were interspersed with numerous adventure travel trips all over Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and South and North America.

Barney is survived by Joan, his wife of 69 years; his two children Patrick (Ellen) and Molly (Derald Cloarec); six grandchildren - Kristy (Ryan Comishin), Jennifer (Steve Kelly), Sean, Diana, Kellie, and Tania; as well as four great grandchildren - Brennan, Sadie, Clea, and Luke.

He passed away in Cranbrook at 91 years of age, surrounded by his loving family.

We would like to express our gratitude to the kind, respectful and supportive staff of the Moyie Unit of Joseph Creek Village for the care and encouragement provided to Barney and us. At Barneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no funeral service.

You were an example to us all, and we will miss you Barney, Dad, Poppo!!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I read world and local news.â&#x20AC;?

A young Sri Lankan man crammed into the cargo hold of a ship with nearly 500 others had only one thing on his mind â&#x20AC;&#x201D; getting to the promised land called Canada.

Nearly five years after the MV Sun Sea arrived on British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coast, the refugee claimant said he understands the plight of an estimated 1,700 migrants who have died in the Mediterranean Sea since April 13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am extremely sorry to find that they had to die as a result of escaping from danger,â&#x20AC;? said the man in his 30s, whose identity is protected by a publication ban.

But he said dying at sea was worth the risk for a shot at freedom, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same chance that migrants heading from Africa to Europe are taking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel very strongly that the world has to open its eyes and prevent all these atrocities that are being committed by various countries so that there is no necessity for people to leave their countries, to take desperate measures to go elsewhere.â&#x20AC;?

The man, dubbed B188 in Canadian government documents, said through a Tamil translator that he paid a smuggler in Thailand to travel with a group on two boats before they were transferred to the MV Sun Sea, which was already in international waters.

The ship with 380 men, 63 women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four of whom were pregnant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 49 children was intercepted on the coast of B.C. in August 2010.

It followed the arrival of another ship, the MV Ocean Lady, in October 2009, with 76 Tamil migrants on board.

He said there were two toilets on the Sun Sea and that he would awake at 4 a.m. to avoid the lineups because he had trouble standing due to chest injuries heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suffered in the Sri Lankan civil war during a bombing raid, allegedly by security forces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of us were allowed to come to the top of the ship because some

planes might spot us,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even turn around when we were sleeping, there were so many people,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that during one violent storm, the passengers feared the ship would capsize in the middle of the night and they would all drown.

One man named Nesan died from dehydration and starvation, and the passengers held a funeral before his body was weighed down with engine parts and thrown overboard, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hardly anybody cried. We were immune to death and we were prepared to die too, all of us.â&#x20AC;?

He vomited often during the threemonth journey that included little food and meagre rations of rain water, B188 said.

He was issued a deportation notice a year ago and is awaiting the results of a pre-removal risk assessment, hoping that Canada will become his permanent home.

European Union leaders are expected to hold an emergency meeting Thursday to address the current crisis.

After the arrival of the ships carrying Tamil migrants, the Canadian government funded international police in an effort to block such vessels from sailing to Canada.

In February, the Supreme Court of Canada heard arguments in a series of cases about the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human smuggling laws, which a B.C. judge ruled were too broad and could even penalize refugeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family members or humanitarian workers.

Donald Galloway, a University of Victoria law professor, said governments porst of exits should be doing more to resolve the reasons causing people to take such risks with their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to think much more collaboratively in dealing with the refugee claims rather than thinking about just dealing with the policing of the boats and the convictions of the smugglers.,â&#x20AC;?said Dalloway, who is also a member of the Canadian Association of Refugee lawyers.
