Decision on flume project expected very soon C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Residents may have noticed some work being done beside Mark Creek in the area where phase two of the flume rehab will take place.

However, that work is underground pipe work that has to be done in any event, and is not specifically a part of the flume rehab. The money for it comes out of a different budget, says Mayor Don Mc-

Cormick.

But a decision on the flume project for this year should be made very soon.

The window for tender documents closed yesterday, May 4, and the city will now look at them to determine whether the project can proceed this year with the money available.

McCormick has been adamant that the project will not proceed if it cannot be done with the available pro-

vincial/federal grant money and the city’s budgeted portion.

The Mayor says that because the City went back to the project designer’s (Aqua Tex) in January and asked them look at the original design and find efficiencies, tenders went out later than was ideal.

“May 4 is late in the season,” McCormick said. “A lot of contractors have work already lined up and we were concerned about the

impact of that on costs in the tender.”

He says that if the tenders come back too high there will be no work on the flume this summer.

“In that case, we would re-tender early in 2016. It’s important that the tenders come back within a variance we can deal with. If not, we will have to go back to the province and the feds and renegotiate the timeline.”

ShelterBox active in Nepal Kimberley Rotary asks for continued support of ShelterBox program GR AHAM MANN Kimberley Rotary Club

ShelterBox Response Teams from the UK have been active in distributing tents to four hospitals in Kathmandu (many of the hospital buildings had been condemned and medical staff had been treating patients in the open). ShelterBox is committed to doing everything we can for the families devastated by the earthquake in Nepal. When a major disaster such as Nepal’s occurs, we already have our aid on the ground before many new donations are received. While we

cannot, therefore, accept donations specifically for the Nepal crisis, your donations ensure that we are ready to help families in desperate need as soon as disaster strikes.

The Government of Canada has launched a matching program which means that for every dollar individual Canadians give to registered charities working in Nepal, the Government will contribute an equal amount to their Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund.

At this time ShelterBox Canada will not be submitting donations for matching to the Canadian Government. In order for organizations to participate in matching, they must guarantee that all funds raised will be needed or spent in Nepal at this time.

Sure to wake you up!

Mt. Baker’s ‘Drowsy Chaperone’ opens Thursday C ARTER GULSETH

Do you love to laugh? Do you love wonderful music? Is your heart warmed by charming stories for the ages?

If you answered “no” to any of the above, you are a cruel and loveless monster. If, however, you responded in the affirmative, you must run, fly, crawl, drive, or drag yourself by the lips to the Key City Theatre to purchase tickets to see Mount Baker Wild Theatre’s production of “The Drowsy

Chaperone”.

The show is opening on May 7 and is running until the 10. It seems, to the cast, that January’s first reading is a million years in the past. As always, the typical jitters that plague any production are rippling through ours. Confident and hopeful as we are, one can’t help but wonder if it all isn’t just “an accident waiting to happen”. Excitement generated over opening night can be guaranteed to raise spirits and

heart rates, and it all comes to a fantastic boil just before the first curtain rises on Thursday, May 7.

So where does that leave us “as we stumble along”? We are nervous, yes. That, however, is to be expected. We are also immensely proud of ourselves, and hope that all of the work we have done to make our production the standard it has become does not go unnoticed.

So you must not get “cold feets” when stepping out to the

box office to purchase your tickets — “The Drowsy Chaperone” will be worth it. Put on your tails, or your favourite fancy dress, and ready yourself for a glorious experience.

“I don’t want to show off,” but it might just be the theatrical event of the season.

Mount Baker’s production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” runs at the Key City Theatre from May 7 to May 9 at 7:30 pm and May 10 at 3 pm.

The annual Kootenay Children’s Festival is back — a great event for kids and families. Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the field by Mt. Baker Secondary School in Cranbrook.

Featuring all sorts of activities, and performers like Duckman, Ventriloquist Kellie Haines,PT the Clown, Kiki the EcoElf, Johnny Ogden, Neezar and Twinkle Toes and Mini Me. Headlining this year’s festival is the great children’s entertainer Charlotte Diaond at the Key City Theatre, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

This year, Charlotte is celebrating 30 years of entertaining children and their families since the release of her Juno Award-winning debut album, “10 Carrot Diamond” in 1985.

Her latest CD, “24 Carrot Diamond – the Best of Charlotte Diamond”, features 24 wellknown favourites, such as “Four Hugs a Day”, “Each of Us Is a Flower”, “The Hug Bug”, “Dicky Dinosaur”, “I am a Pizza” (Je suis une pizza), “Octopus (Slippery Fish) and “La Bamba.”

An evening of poetry C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Teacher Jeff Pew has been a champion of poetry in Kimberley for many years, inspiring students to create their own verse and organizing poetry slams where local poets have a chance to perform.

This week, renowned Canadian poet Stuart Ross will be in Kimberley and Pew thinks that would be a great opportunity to have another event.

Ross will be performing at the Bean Tree on this Thursday, May 7 at 7:30 p.m. and Pew has invited a few students, a few former students and others to perform as well.

“Stuart Ross is one of Canada’s most influential poets, in publishing, small press, editing and teaching poetry and prose,” Pew said. “It’s really great to have him here.”

While in the area, Ross will be conducting workshops at seven different schools as well.

In addition to the poetry readings, the Stuart Ross event will provide an opportunity to present an Occasional Andy Johnson Award to Kimberley resident Emma Jowsey.

Karin von Wittgenstein, the director of the Kimberley Public Library explains that Andy Johnson was a Kimberley teacher for more than 35 years.

“Andy Johnson recognized, encouraged,

and cultivated the intellectual and artistic potentialities that he discovered in the students in his care,” von Wittgenstein said. “When he died, Andy put his money where his heart was by leaving more than $170,000 to the Kimberley Public Library, The Kimberley Foundation, and Selkirk Secondary School.

“The Occasional Andy Johnson Awards are sponsored by the Kimberley Public Library and ALLey Publications (of Brooklyn,

NY) to honor Andy’s devotion to creativity.

“An Andy Johnson Award recognizes talent and potential rather than any specific accomplishment, and is intended to inspire its recipient to explore and develop their talent. It is “Occasional” because each talent is unique and there is no predicting when a new talent will emerge or be discovered.”

Proceeds from the evening will go to Nepal Earthquake Relief.

Kimberley’s Rotary – High School Band returned Monday night from a five day jaunt to Victoria where they participated along with some 30 other bands in the third annual high school band conference.

Some 55 members of the band attended along with Conductor Ralph Yarwood and Chaperone Mrs. John Lukas. They reported a highly successful conference with day and night sessions devoted to music making on many levels.

Each band played for adjudication and all members attended one or more special clinics designed to bring out the finer points of band music as related to the various sections of the band. Students attending reported these to be highly interesting and useful.

In addition there was a giant conference concert in which the bands, from all parts of B.C., were joined by the band of H.M.C.S. “Naden” and the Victoria Symphony Orchestra. That concert was the highlight of the conference, many felt, giving every participant an opportunity to play before a select and highly discriminating audi-

ence. The Kimberley band, which played the march “Thunder Jet” received very warm applause – in fact it was the only band to be encored.

Taste Of Jail For 40 Dogs

Kimberley’s new dog control bylaw has proven highly effective in the month of its operation so far, council has been told.

During April some 40 dogs fell into the hands of the dog catcher under the terms of the bylaw. Of these eight were not claimed within the specified 72 hours and were consequently destroyed.

Residents who formerly complained about dogs running at large have been very pleased with the effectiveness of the new measure which provides that any dog not under control of its owner may be impounded.

All in Readiness For CD Exercises

All is in readiness for the giant Civil Defence exercise to be held throughout the East Kootenay next Saturday.

The operation is designed to provide practical experience in evacuating a large number of residents such as would be necessary in the event of widespread disaster.

Dancer of the Month April 2015 Kahlie MacLeod Kahlie is 11 years old and attends McKim Middle School. Kahlie is in her seventh year of lessons.

She is currently taking classes in Tap, Jazz, Ballet and Acro. Her other interests include baseball, swimming and biking. For her efforts Kahlie will receive gift certificates from Grubstake Pizza, Sole to Soul Esthetics Studio and The Old Bauernhaus Restaurant. Kahlie will also have the chance to be named “Dancer of the Year” at Kootenay Dance Academy’s year end production in May. With this title, the winner will receive a scholarship from Artistic Director Leslie Lindberg to help further their dance education. Congratulations Kahlie!

Local decision-making critical for the landbase MLA Report I have always said that local people should have control over decisions made on their land base. I have always believed that tremendous wisdom lives within the communities that will be affected, and that the powers that be in faraway places will never fully understand the impacts of the decisions they are making.

And a decade in provincial politics has not changed my belief. At

no time have I seen the removal of local decision-making result in better decisions on the land.

The most obvious ongoing example is the imposition of land use decisions by the BC Liberals in Jumbo. The Jumbo Glacier Resort proposal has been opposed by local residents from the very start. At every opportunity, the people in the region have spoken out loud and clear. And the Ktunaxa Nation have said

MLA Norm Macdonald

with absolute clarity that they will not support the development in a place that they consider to be sacred.

When I was Mayor of Golden, the community developed Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.

But the first thing we did was make sure that we had the support of the residents and that we had a credible investor.

Jumbo Glacier Resort has no investor. Despite having the full force of the BC Liberals behind it, no investor

has been convinced to fund this project.

But that hasn’t stopped the BC Liberals from giving away control of 6000 hectares of public land and giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayers’ money to run a municipality with no buildings, no services and no people.

The latest twist in the Jumbo saga is that the Environmental Assessment Office has now ruled that the two hastily laid concrete pads

have been placed in an avalanche zone which contravenes one of the conditions of the Environmental Assessment Certificate. These two concrete pads represented the only construction of the resort and the only hope of meeting the requirement for a substantial start to the development. Without a substantial start at this point, the certificate will expire.

I think it is pretty clear. Local residents

would have made a much better decision on the use of the Jumbo Valley than the BC Liberals have done.

It is time to wrap up this Jumbo farce once and for all. There is no investor, it relies entirely on public money, and it is an affront to the people of our region.

Kimberley Kling Off Ke vin Bl ades For the Bulletin

All sorts of people gathered Saturday, April 11, 2014, to watch “Klingons” at Spirit Rock Climbing Center. The people gathered weren’t Trekkies, but avid climbers and competitors participating in the “Kimberley Kling-Off Bouldering Competition”.

Spirit Rock was able to gather some of the best boulderers in the Kimberley and Cranbrook area to offer up a fun and challenging chance to get together and “hang out”.

The bouldering competition was a fun event for all ages.

Bouldering is the sport of climbing without ropes or harness on steep, short routes to challenge yourself against gravity and the routesetter’s intentions.

In a bouldering competition, a climber is faced with a number of high difficulty climbs concentrated into a short route, limited time and close proximity to the spectators. The climber can attempt a route more than once. The competitor’s score is determined by the overall number of routes completed by him/her and the number of attempts needed. In preparation for the competition and the upcoming Christmas season, Spirit Rock

The really fun thing for everyone was the positive, electric atmosphere at the event.

Spectators, fellow climbers and judges all yelled out encouragement or groaned as competitors succeeded or fell off. Climbers shared tips, jokes and suggestions with each

other, helping everyone succeed as best they could. The spirit of competition was internal as they tried to figure out the new climbs and no one really seemed to care too much about points. At the end of the evening, the Kimberley Kling-Off was all about fun and walking away with really, really tired arms.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Unaccountable Council

The new Cranbrook Council is off to a sad start when they hold a secret meeting to vote to sell the old Fire Hall. The reason for Council to go in camera and hold a private discussion is because they are afraid to have any discussion in public.

Citizens, how did your councillor vote? You can’t find out, as they are all sworn to secrecy. You can’t even find out what the vote was — 7 to 0, or with the possibility of a councillor absent and a councillor or two recusing themselves due to potential conflict of interest, the vote could have been 2-1.

So much for accountability and transparency. When we don’t know how our elected representatives voted on the issues, on what grounds should we re-elect them? On smiles or handshakes or nods and winks? Councillors, why did you run for office if you didn’t want to discuss and debate the issues in the public forum? Secrecy undermines good governance.

With bigger issues like finding replacements for the city’s sagging public administration, how was it that the heritage Fire Hall — which has sat idly by for many years — suddenly became issue number one for Council? An issue so hot the public has to be kept away, lest they get burned up. Who put the heritage Fire Hall on the secret meeting agenda?

Mayor Pratt, the advice you have received warrants some house cleaning. A unified town can create economic development, whereas splintered, fractured, self-interest groups cannot.

Lead Cranbrook forward. Report out the secret vote, as well as who all recused themselves.

William G. Hills Cranbrook

City of Cranbrook hires Water Smart Ambassador for summer

Free irrigation assessments will be available For the Townsman

The City of Cranbrook’s annual Water Conservation education initiative will see a new face at the helm this summer.

Katelyn Pocha has been hirede as the official Water Smart Ambassador for Cranbrook through into late August.

“I’m excited to be Cranbrook’ s 2015 Water Smart Ambassador and looking forward to connecting with community groups and members to reduce our water consumption,” Pocha said. “With a few simple changes, we can decrease water demand considerably during the summer season.”

Free irrigation system as-

sessments for both residential and commercial water customers will be available again this year, on a first come first serve basis. The public is encouraged to take advantage of the free assessments.

Information about how to sign up for an assessment will be made available later in May. “Katelyn will be the face and voice of our water education program this summer, conducting free irrigation assessments for the public and business, providing information about conservation to the public along with a water conservation education program for elementary school students,”

Katelyn Pocha says Chris Zettel, Corporate Communications Officer for the City.

“She has a strong background and

experience in environmental initiatives and will be a great fit in this role.”

The addition of the Water Smart Ambassador to the City’s overall water conservation education program is a tool made available by the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) Water Smart initiative.

The City signed onto the CBT Water Smart Charter in 2010, which commits the City to help reach a basin-wide water reduction goal of 20 percent by 2015.

To date, the City has seen an overall reduction in water use of 15 per cent since 2009.

Time for teachers to question union

After the first few glum lines of his speech, it was difficult to tell anything had changed for B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker as he took his familiar place before the TV cameras last week.

Iker droned on about how B.C. schools are under-funded by hundreds of millions of dollars, echoing demands from the disastrous strike he led the union membership into last year.

The B.C. Court of Appeal had just overturned a bizarre trial court decision that tried to give the union everything it wanted: a trip back in time to the NDP wonderland of 2001, a constitutional spanking for the B.C. Liberal government and a $2 million bonus of taxpayers’ money.

The BCTF must now pay back that $2 million and scrape up whatever is left of its members’ compulsory dues to plead for an appeal at the Supreme Court of Canada, continuing the executive’s self-righteous fantasy of controlling education spending in B.C. The appeal court didn’t just overturn the judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin. It shredded her legal reasoning and bluntly corrected her, over and over, on evidence she ignored or misinterpreted.

The appeal court confirmed at great length what I said when Griffin’s sec-

ond decision came down in early 2014: it was far worse for B.C. schools than when judges decided in 2005 that teachers can bring union propaganda into classrooms.

Did the government bargain in bad faith? No. Did they conspire to provoke a strike? No. Did they illegally strip working conditions from the teacher contract? No. Turns out our kids are not just “working conditions” for teachers, and public policy still matters.

BC VIEWS And it turns out that making special needs assistants Tom dash between classes to deal Fletcher with two kids here and three over there was a lousy idea.

Now there’s even a credit course offered in high school for students with learning difficulties, which probably has some BCTF minion crafting a pile of grievances about segregation.

In the negotiated settlement reached last fall, teachers shared $105 million to make thousands of baseless grievances go away, after the union filed one for student numbers in every class in the province.

This bloated perpetual protest machine drains the public purse in more ways than taxpayers realize.

Parents understand the strikes, though.

They remember a union that scrapped report cards, disrupted administration and forced schools to shut down at graduation time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The strike then dragged into the fall, as the government held the line on public service spending. And what was the key issue that kept schools closed? It wasn’t special needs support, where student performance has continued to improve. No, it was the BCTF demanding a raise twice as big as other public sector unions had already accepted.

In the end, their paltry strike fund long gone, the union grudgingly accepted the going rate. They figured they had the elected government on the run in court. Wrong again.

Next up for the ministry is taking control of professional development. A bill before the legislature will enforce standards, once the NDP is done denouncing it. Singing “Solidarity Forever” around a campfire and calling it paid professional development (a real example, by the way) will soon go the way of the union-controlled College of Teachers — onto the scrap heap of history.

There are BCTF members who understand how ill-served they are by their union. They are looking critically at the performance of their leaders, who are too often distracted by grandiose “social justice” campaigns as far away as the Middle East.

California love

du Toit & Idaho Vandals headed to Rancho Santa Fe for NCAA regional golf championship Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kimberley’s Jared du Toit and the University of Idaho Vandals men’s golf team will see their campaign continue at The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.

The NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Committee announced its selections for six regional tournaments, set to run May 14 to 16 across the United States. The selections were announced Monday morning on the Golf Channel’s Morning Drive.

“It’s really cool. I don’t think it gets much better than San Diego,” du Toit said over the phone from Moscow, Idaho, Monday afternoon. “The weather is great there all year and from what I’ve heard, the golf course there is really cool, too. We did a little research before the selection process and that was the site I definitely wanted to go to.

“We kind of got lucky with where we get to go.

We were pretty optimistic the whole time and when it did come up that we were going to San Diego, we were all really excited.”

The Farms Golf Club is located approximately 37 km north of San Diego and presents 6,947 yards of terrain for golfers to tackle.

“I’ve talked to a couple people that have played [The Farms] and they’ve all been really big fans,” du Toit said. “From what I’ve heard, it’s a really fair golf course. If you can hit the ball decent out there, from what

I’ve heard, it’s a ball-strikers’ golf course. Our team, that’s one of our strengths. I think it suits us pretty well.” du Toit and the Vandals, seeded 10th at the regional tournament hosted by the University of San Diego Toreros, will face stiff competition in southern California as three nationally-ranked squads join them in search of a ticket to the NCAA National Golf Championship, set for May 29 to June 3 at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla.

Arizona State University (ASU) is the top-seeded team heading to The Farms Golf Club, ranked fourth nationally. ASU is joined by the University of Oklahoma (T9) and 11th-ranked Georgia Institute of Technology.

Apart from being the top-ranked team at the regional event, ASU also boasts the top-ranked amateur men’s golfer in the world.

Jon Rahm-Rodriquez, of Barrika, Spain, is the world’s top amateur men’s golfer as of April 26, having claimed three solo victories and a total of seven top-five finishes in 11 events this season.

“It’s a pretty star-filled

tournament,” said du Toit, who is ranked 203rd in the world amateur ranks. “A lot of those teams have pretty big names, but we played with them a couple times this year throughout different tournaments and a lot of those teams we’ve actually beat one-onone quite a bit.

“If we play solid, we can get out of that site for sure. We were kind of excited to see the teams that were in there and that we’ve beaten them in the past.

“If all of us put in good preparation this coming week and we’re ready come game time and we do execute during game time, I think we have a pretty good shot at getting out.

We’re all really optimistic. The ball is in our court and we’re excited to turn some heads out there.”

The Vandals and Sun Devils both competed at the Itani Quality Homes Collegiate in Pullman, Wash., back in September 2014 with Idaho finishing fifth and Arizona State landing in sixth.

The Vandals might be an underdog heading to the San Diego regional tournament, but that’s the nature of the game at this level.

Mike Carter, chair of the Division I Men’s Golf Committee, explained how teams are assigned to each regional tournament on Morning Drive.

According to Carter, the top six ranked teams are assigned to the regional event closest to their school. From there,

Devils’ GM Lamoriello steps down; hires Shero as replacement Tom C anavan Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. - Lou Lamoriello is stepping down as the New Jersey Devils’ general manager and handing the job to Ray Shero.

Lamoriello announced Monday that he will remain as president of hockey operations. The 72-year-old Lamoriello has led the Devils since 1987 and guided them to three Stanley Cups.

He says he has considered stepping down for a while, indicating that

he was not forced out after missing the playoffs the past three seasons.

The 52-year-old Shero was let go as the Pittsburgh Penguins’ general manager last May. He is the son of former Flyers and New York Rangers coach Fred Shero.

The Devils are still looking for a coach, and Lamoriello says Shero will make that hire.

Lamoriello fired coach Pete DeBoer in December, and he then ran the team with the help of Adam Oates and Scott Stevens.

The University of Idaho Vandals and Kimberley’s Jared du Toit, pictured during third-round action at the 2015 Big Sky Conference Men’s Golf Championship, are headed back to California in hopes of advancing to the 2015 NCAA National Championship. the committee uses an S-curve system to assign each remaining team, removing as much subjectiveness from the process as possible.

“All in all, it works out,” Carter said on Morning Drive. “The strength of the six fields are pretty even.”

A total of six, 54-hole regional tournaments pit the country’s best teams and individuals against one another. du Toit and the Vandals qualified for NCAA regionals with a record-setting performance at the 2015 Big Sky Conference Men’s Golf Championship.

The Vandals set a Big Sky Tournament record with a three-day score of eight-under (856) breaking the previous mark of 860. du Toit also left his

mark at Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort in Angels Camp, Calif., firing a six-under 66 in his final round, good enough to tie the championship-course record.

“We’ve had a good season,” said head coach John Means in a press release following his squad’s victory at the Big Sky Conference Championship. “We played very well coming into the event. Our goal is to be able to play for the national championship.

This is one of the steps we need to accomplish to get there and do that.

We decided early in the season what our goals were, and winning the Big Sky by a large margin was a part of that.”

In addition to qualifying teams, 10 individual golfers from teams other than those quali-

fied, will compete at The Farms Golf Club.

The low five teams and the low individual not on those teams will advance to the 2015 NCAA National Golf Championship.

The practice round for competitors at The Farms Golf Club is slated for Wednesday, May 13, with first-round action beginning Thursday, May 14.

Originally built in 1988, The Farms was redesigned in 2000 by golf course architect John Fought and PGA tour professional Tom Lehman.

Other host locations for NCAA regional events include: The Sagamore Club - Noblesville, Ind., (Ball State University); University of North Carolina Finley Golf Course - Chapel

Hill, N.C., (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill); The Rawls Course - Lubbock, Texas, (Texas Tech University); Gold Mountain Golf Club Bremerton, Wash., (University of Washington) and; The Course at Yale - New Haven, Conn., (Yale University).

Teams competing at The Farms Golf Club (in order of seed): 1) Arizona State University; 2) Georgia Institute of Technology; 3) University of Oklahoma; 4) University of New Mexico; 5) University of Virginia; 6) University of Georgia; 7) East Tennessee State University; 8) University of Mississippi ; 9) University of San Diego; 10) University of Idaho; 11) St. Mary’s College of California; 12) Wichita State University; 13) Eastern Kentucky University.

Canada tops Czech Republic at IIHF Worlds CANADIAN PRESS

PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall each had a goal and an assist Monday as Canada downed the Czech Republic 6-3 to stay perfect at the world hockey championship.

Sean Couturier, Tyler Seguin and Sidney Crosby also scored for Canada (3-0-0), which got 22 saves from Mike Smith and sits atop Group A with nine points. Tyler

Toffoli added a goal into an empty net to go along with an assist.

Martin Erat, Martin Zatovic and Vladimir Sobotka replied for the Czechs (1-1-1). Ondrej Pavelec made 32 stops in taking the loss.

The goals for Couturier and Seguin were their first points of the tournament, meaning that every Canadian player now has at least one point.

Canada’s next game

is Wednesday against Sweden, while the

Czech Republic takes on France on Thursday.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) One-on-one relating will help you develop a new way of thinking. Your insight might give you a few minutes of pause, but then you probably will decide to test it and act on it. A well-meaning person in your life will express openness to your ideas. Tonight: Take in a movie.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Defer to others, and listen to what is being shared. Be open to what is happening to a loved one. This person might share an experience with a great amount of detail. Expenses could run high if you are not careful about your choices. Tonight: Togetherness works.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, and know full well what needs to happen.

Your ability to understand what is happening within your immediate circle makes you popular.

As much as you enjoy socializing, you still will have to accomplish a certain task. Tonight: Go

along with a request.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your creativity has an opportunity for a tune-up, especially revolving around a day-to-day matter. Given some time, you will be able to solve the issue.

You’ll teach others indirectly that there is no such word as “impossible.” Tonight: Work till the wee hours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) No matter what you do, you cannot escape an obligation.

Handle this responsibility, and you will feel more upbeat than you have in a while. Nevertheless, be aware that someone you respect might be observing you closely, and for good reason. Tonight: At home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can make only a certain amount of change without having a discussion with a key family member. Note that you are capable of changing your mind at the last minute. Honor what is happening within you, and have a discussion with a trusted friend. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You might be concerned with your finances and stability, but right now you need to act quickly in a separate matter. Look to making a change in the near future regarding your perspective.

Your mood starts becoming more upbeat. Tonight: Wherever you want to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Evaluate a money matter more carefully than you have in the past. Your knowledge of what needs to happen could change after a discussion with a close friend who understands money issues better than you do. Oneon-one relating points to the right path. Tonight: Say “yes.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You wake up feeling better than you have felt in a while. You could be quite serious, as you have a lot to handle. Someone who cares a lot about you, and who normally is easygoing, could cause some disruption.

Tonight: Take charge and act on a personal matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You seem to be past the point of no return with a personal mat-

ter. Why not go straight to the source of the issue? You could be extremely tired and withdrawn.

How you handle a personal matter might vary considerably.

Think before you act. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be taken aback by an opportunity to change direction and create more of what you want. Your nerves seem to directly reflect the anxiety of breaking a pattern that you generally don’t have a problem with. Remain secure in your choices. Tonight: Be whimsical.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) How you deal with a personal matter could change substantially if you just relax and work with the moment. You tend to make a lot of judgments ahead of time that do not hold. Be more direct with a higher-up or an older associate. Tonight: Be in the moment.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am an 83-year-old widow in good health. My daughter lives about two hours away. She is 50 and well educated and has been in a longterm relationship with an older retired man. She does a lot of care-giving for him and his family members.

Three years ago, my daughter lost her job during an economic downturn and has made no attempt to find other employment. I have been giving her money every month and paid for a course in massage therapy, but she has not attempted to find a job in that field. She received insurance money to repair her home when it flooded over the winter, but she hasn’t done the repairs. Instead, she camps out at her boyfriend’s apartment. When I ask, she will come help me with certain things.

She is my only child, and there are no other close relatives. I am not wealthy, but am comfortable. My daughter will inherit trust money and my house when I die, and this bothers me. I don’t want what my husband and I worked and planned for to eventually go to her boyfriend and his family. I am thinking of changing the trust, leaving her a fixed amount and giving the rest to a charity.

Are there other alternatives? -- A. Dear A.: There are always alternatives. You could leave your daughter the house and trust only under certain conditions, in order to exclude the boyfriend and his family, although that won’t necessarily change how your daughter chooses to live her life. But there is also nothing wrong with giving some (or all) of your money to a charity that would appreciate it. Please talk to an estate attorney, who will help you figure out the various possibilities and put them in writing.

Dear Annie: I need to know whether I was out of line. My husband and I have been friends with “Nancy” for years.

Last Christmas, she sent us pajamas as a gift. I called her and left a message saying we have never worn pajamas, and not only that, but I am not a size 3x. I wrote her a note and told her I returned the pajamas for something I like better.

We haven’t heard from her or her husband since. Was I improper? Is this a reason to end a long friendship? -- C. Dear C.: When someone gives you a gift, you don’t tell them you dislike it, it’s the wrong size, you never wear such things or that you had to return it. It sounds rude and ungrateful, and we don’t believe you intended to come across that way. Instead, you simply say, “Thank you for your thoughtfulness. It was kind of you to remember us.” And then you get to do whatever you like with the gift.

If you value this friendship and want to mend fences, call or write Nancy. Say that you are terribly sorry to have been so ill mannered when thanking them for their gift, and you hope they will forgive you. We hope they will, too.

ON THE WEB:

On April 27, 2015, Doris passed away peacefully in her sleep at the age of 97 years.

She was born Gwendoline Doris Temple on November 8, 1917 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, the second daughter of the late Leah Ellen and James Edward Temple.

Doris was the beloved wife of the late David Ironside Pyle for 60 years. The two of them loved to snowshoe, hike, canoe, camp and garden together.

Doris was blessed with good health her entire life and at the age of 50, got her drivers licence when she enthusiastically took up golf.

Retiring to Cranbrook, BC, Doris and Dave enjoyed a wonderful friendship with John and Sally Flowers. When Dave passed, Doris moved to the Churchill Retirement Residence, Edmonton, where she met her second husband, the late Clifford Schweitzberg. Both in their 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, they enjoyed seven years together, dancing, travelling and watching old movies.

Doris will be greatly missed by her children, Joanne (Larry) Pollock, Shirley Al (Jon Warland) and Bill (Anita) Pyle; her grandchildren, Stacey (Graham) Drexel and Jeff (Michelle) Pollock and her great-grandchildren, Mathew, Christina and Addison. Doris was predeceased by her two husbands, her grandson, Joey Reader; her parents; her siblings, Ruth Renton, Barry Temple and Grace Gorrie.

The family would like to thank the staff at Laurier House Lynnwood for taking such good care of Doris these past five months, especially her â&#x20AC;&#x153;girls.â&#x20AC;?

At Dorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no funeral. A private family gathering will be held at a future date to celebrate Dorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well lived life. She was loved.

Strong outlook for daily newspapers

S

mart newspapers today recognize they can run a very protable business by providing relevant, entertaining and innovative ideas and content.

“Let’s not miss the point, either”, says Bill McDonald, group publisher of Metro English Canada.

“Maybe there are some trends in place that show some declines in some areas.

But newspapers still deliver a massive audience in every city across the country.

That’s not changing.

The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day.

There’s no other medium with that kind of reach in one day.” In fact, threequarters of Canadians (13.9 million) read a printed edition of daily newspaper each week, according to NADbank readership data.

“Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada.

“Daily newspapers offer the same benets they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly.

Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizeable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”

“Major pubishers and media buyers agree— strong readership gures are testament to improved product.

Cranbrook’s first wedding dress Obituaries

Obituaries SMITS, Tyler July 5th 1993 – May 3 2015 It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear son Tyler Smits at the age of 21.

Tyler was born in Okotoks, Alberta and moved to Cranbrook with his family in 2006. He graduated from MT. Baker in 2011 and was pursuing a career in the oil and gas industry working in northern Alberta.

Tyler loved his sporting activities, especially playing hockey and golf and camping out with his brothers and sisters in the summer. He is survived by his father John and stepmom Anne Marie, his brothers Justin and Layton, sisters Tamara and Alysha. Tyler was predeceased by his mom Janice in 1999 and his grandfather and grandmother Walter Smits 2000, and Gelske Smits in 2013, and uncle Peter Smits 1977.

Tyler will be dearly missed by his many uncles and aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces along with his many friends.

Tyler was loved by all and will be forever in all our hearts.

Tyler you left us far too soon, and we will forever miss you and our hearts will ache with sorrow all the days of our lives. We love you and we trust that you are now safe in the hands of Jesus.

Memorial service to commemorate Tyler’s life to be held Thursday May 7th at the Knox Presbyterian Church in Cranbrook, BC at 12 noon. The grave side service will be held at the Okotoks Union Cemetery Okotoks, Alberta on Friday May 8th at 2pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Young Life of Cranbrook.

Phase 1 of the new museum wing at the Cranbrook History Centre was officially opened this weekend past , with a special ribbon-cutting event for members and invited guests on Friday and another event for the general public on Saturday.

Phase 1 is the lower floor of the eastern side of the complex, known as the freight shed. It is now home to a growing collection displays and artifacts representing a comprehensive history of Cranbrook and the East Kootenay. These include paleontological and paleogeological artifacts, natural history and wildlife, examples of heritage fashion, business and railroad history, and a section devoted to the Ktunaxa.

The model railway (an ongoing work in progress) is also open for viewing. It features more than 200 metres of track, and is the largest such display in the B.C. Interior.

Next on the museum agenda is Phase 2 of the project — to create the Natural History Gallery which will house all paleo and natural history components. This will be located in the lower freight shed.

Phase 3 will be in the upper floor of the freight shed, 5,000 square feet that will be comprised of four galleries, studio space and possibly a cafe.
