At last week’s meeting, Cranbrook city council approved a new flag policy that sets out guidelines for how flags are approved to fly over city hall.

Mayor Lee Pratt explained the new policy at the May 11 meeting.

“We have lots of people wanting to fly their flag — different groups and organizations — and we just can’t accommodate everybody,” Pratt explained. “How do you say no to this one, or yes to that one? So we just wanted to put a policy in place that settles that.”

Local NEWS

Tame long weekend at Koocanusa T r e vo r C r aw l e y

The long weekend out at Lake Koocanusa was much more quiet this year after an uproar from an appalling mess left by campers at the same time last year.

However, with stepped up law enforcement and the addition of the new Koo-

canusa Recreational Transfer Station, the area didn’t suffer the same garbage-riddled landscape as last year.

“It went pretty well this year, primarily due to the large enforcement effort there,” Staff Sgt. Dave Dubnyk said.

“We set up starting Thursday and then

worked it pretty hard the whole weekend. I guess part of it is just the campers being more responsible this year.”

Dubnyk said they did a lot of road checks, as well as roving patrols in the area.

“Overall it was a really good year this year,” he said.

There was still a large amount of garbage that accumulated over the weekend, but it was manageable due to the new transfer station.

According to the RDEK, each of the six bins were pulled three times on Monday as staff and contractors

took several truckloads of garbage to another nearby transfer station.

Some of the garbage included items such as 52 folding lawn chairs, four folding tables, numerous tent, several big barrels and even the backseat of a van.

Law enforcement was carried out by the

RCMP and Natural Resource Officers (NRO) with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

According to one report from an NRO, there were not many violation tickets issued and most people were respectful and not

abusing the land. The most common issue had to do with wildfire regulations and people who didn’t have the proper tools or water if their fire was oversized.

In their patrols, the Dorr Rec site and Englishman Bay was only roughly half full while Gold Bay was empty.

Freemason Lodges in Cranbrook, Kimberley consolidate Nixon said the lodges have a lot of history in the area.

The Cranbrook Lodge was first constituted in 1900, and is number 34.

The Selkirk Lodge in Kimberley was constituted in 1909 and originally started in Moyie. It moved to Kimberley when the mine moved in 1912. It is number 55.

The old Fort Steele Lodge was the oldest pioneer lodge in the area at number 30. The Golden lodge is number 11.

“The Selkirk and Cranbrook Lodges have always worked closely together — they’re not very far apart and we’ve always been very close, but about two years ago we started having sanc-

tioned meetings where we discussed consolidating the two lodges,” explained Nixon. “The way we looked at it, 115 years ago these two towns were a day’s travel apart — right now they are about 20-25 minutes apart.”

He said many of the members do the drive two or three times a day for work purposes.

“So strategically it didn’t make sense to maintain two different lodges doing the exact same work,” he said.

“We’re talking to the same guys in what could be considered very similar communities, and close communities.”

So from there they started a two year process where they members from both lodges

agreed that strategically it would be beneficial to have one lodge to represent both.

Both of the lodges came out of the historic North Star Lodge in Fort Steele. That lodge is still there, operating as a museum exhibit.

Pellerin said it will be the Cranbrook location that will now host the new lodge’s meetings.

“Selkirk was successful in selling their building almost immediately when they put it on the market,” he said. “So they’ve moved all of their stuff into this building and we’re going to repurpose it in here and make one set of lodge jewels and furniture and have it all here.”

He said the excess items will either be sent

to Fort Steele or back to the Grand Lodge.

“Everything gets repurposed, nothing is thrown away,” he added.

Despite the popular culture myths that have steeped the freemasons in mystery, Pellerin said they are not a secret religion, but a fraternity.

“We’re a fraternity with a few secrets, but we’re not a secret society. Any man can come and ask to join,” he said.

“He just has to go

“People are going to wonder who the Fisher Peak Lodge is,” Pellerin said. “We do various services in our community such as the security at the Cranbrook Pro Rodeo for instance, well the Cranbrook lodge won’t be doing it this year it will be the new lodge doing it.”

It’s the same in Kimberley where the Selkirk Lodge ran the July-fest beer garden — that will now be run by the Fisher Peak Lodge as well.

There will be an indefinite fire ban in the Southeast Fire District beginning this Friday, May 22, that will help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.

Prohibited fire activities include: • burning of waste, slash or other materials.

• Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area.

• use of fireworks, sky lateens or burning barrels or cages of any size or description.

• use of binary exploding targets (i.e. rifle target practice).

• use of air curtain burners.

The prohibition does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by half-metre wide or smaller and it does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes.

The Southeast Fire Centre is experiencing drier-than-normal conditions and an elevated fire hazard.

These prohibitions are being put in place due to the current weather conditions and the long range forecast.

The prohibition covers all B.C. Parks, crown lands and private lands but does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department.

The Southeast Fire Centre covers the area extending from the U.S. border in the south to Mica Dam in the north and from the Okanagan Highlands and Monashee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. It includes the Selkirk Natural Resource District and the Rocky Mountain Natural Resource District.

Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call *555 on a cellphone or 1-800-663-5555.

in joining, talk to any member and let them know that they are interested. They don’t solicit members.

“Then we have a series of protocols that we go through,” he said. A person inquiring for entrance to Masonry is referred to as a Seeker.

The Freemasons from both the Cranbrook and Kimberley lodges have been involved in volunteer work throughout the communities.

through the three degrees to get here.”

Pellerin said there are a lot of members around and that’s why they hope to get the information out there about the uniting of the two lodges. He said the news may jump start some retired members interest again.

Now that it is consolidated, Fisher Peak Lodge #34 has around 80 members.

Pellerin said that if someone is interested

Local artisan offers view on Sam Steele market Submit ted

A welder by trade and recently retired, Ellard Einasson now spends his time creating an array of remarkable art featuring beautiful interpretations of animals.

Some of these pieces weigh more than the average home décor (or small child) but they garner a conversation the instant they’re spotted.

Ellard calls his work “Cuts Metal Design” offering an insight into how the custom pieces are crafted. The finishing technique is what brings colour and life into each fabrication.

This Cranbrook artisan was the first to reserve a vendor space in this year’s Sam Steele Market, having enjoyed his involvement last year. He’s had time to evaluate the market experience from a vendor’s perspective and claims “the market at Sam Steele Days Central

Fairgrounds in Rotary Park offers a more diverse crowd than any other local market,” citing the broad exposure that vendors receive on both Saturday and Sunday of Cranbrook’s four day festival.

People who don’t usually go to markets will often browse and buy while watching the stage show or waiting for another event to begin.

An estimated 6,000 to 8,000 people are expected to attend the Central Fairgrounds.

Personally handcrafted items or small business products will have their chance to win some fans (and customers) on June 20 and 21 in the midst of a festive en-

vironment and beautiful outdoor venue in the heart of downtown Cranbrook.

Sam Steele Society Director Lynn O’Neill coordinates the market.

“Getting involved with the Sam Steele Society three years ago was a great way to meet people in the community, especially having just relocated to Cranbrook and the province the year before,” O’Neill said. “Taking over the market organizing was a daunting task as first but the support of this amazing group of volunteers, as well as the great vendors we have, made my first year a positive experience!”

Marc Poirier, local

manager of Manitoulin Transport which sponsors the Sam Steele Market as their way of investing in community, has also enthusiastically offered some volunteer time. Sponsors and volunteers are what makes this fantastic city-wide festival so great each year.

Market vendor space is still available but limited. Reservations must be secured before June 9th. Those interested can download and print a vendor application from the Sam Steele Days website www.samsteeledays.org or contact the Sam Steele Society at (250) 426-4161 or email info@samsteeledays. org.

Policy brings consistency to Cranbrook’s flag life Continued from page 1

The review the city’s flag practice came after a recent request to fly a symbolic flag on one of the city flagpoles.

City staff noted that purpose of the policy is to ensure that all flags at city hall and other city owned buildings and parks are flown, displayed and half-masted in a consistent manner.

The new policy also means that the city will not raise a flag on behalf of an outside organization, which can include charitable or non-profit organization, community businesses or that another city, province, or nation.

The city’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan identified cultur-

al vibrancy as one of the four pillars that support the entire community.

Flags are defined as symbols that identify people belonging to a group.

Prior to the approval of the policy the city did not have a policy to follow to ensure a consistent process when receiving requests to fly flags of other nations or organizations.

Symphony mountain concert will light up summer night C AROLYN GR ANT

It’s been almost a year in planning, but everything is coming together for a mountain top concert in Kimberley this July.

“Picture this, says Jim Webster, one of the movers and shakers behind this summer’s Symphony on the Mountain performance. “The low light of a midsummer’s evening as the sunsets behind the Purcell Mountains to the west. Shadows lifting on the Rockies in front of you. You’re sitting atop Northstar Mountain, just off the quad chair at Kimberley Alpine Resort. Maestro Jeff Faragher lifts his baton and the Symphony of the Kootenays strike the soft opening tones of Beethoven’s 6th Symphony – Pastorale.

“Feel an “Awakening of Cheerful Feelings on

Arrival in the Country” as you sit back in your chair, or lie down in the fresh grass. Take in the view. Take in the sounds.”

Webster paints a pretty picture and a lot of people have already decided it’s an opportunity not to be missed. Almost 340 of the 450 available tickets have been sold.

The gala, which includes drinks and appies before the chairlift ride up the mountain, has already sold out, but just over 100 tickets are still available for the performance itself and the chair up and down Northstar Mountain.

The concert date is Saturday, July 4 and tickets are available at Centre 64 in Kimberley and Lotus Books in Cranbrook.

“If you want to experience this fantastic concert, get yours today,”

Webster said.

In cooperation with the Kimberley Arts Council, the Symphony of the Kootenays will perform a program of outdoor music including Beethoven’s 6th, Grieg’s Peer Gynt, selections from Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s D re a m and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.

Everyone coming to the concert is asked to bring a blanket or festival chair. (Festival chair is a seat with short or even no legs), sun screen and dress for the cooler evening. Chairs will not be provided. In the vent of inclement weather the concert will take place at the Kimberley Conference Centre.

B.C., Petronas sign deal toward proposed LNG project Dirk Meissner Canadian Press

VICTORIA - Plans to build a $36-billion liquefied natural gas export facility on British Columbia’s northwest coast moved forward Wednesday, although there’s no green light yet signalling the project’s official start.

The B.C. government and Malaysian energy giant Petronas signed a memorandum of understanding that

Thursday, MAY 21, 2015 Page 5

could lead to a project-development agreement and eventually the construction of an LNG plant at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert.

Premier Christy Clark said once Petronas-controlled Pacific NorthWest LNG secures project approval from its backers, she will recall the legislature to adopt legislation for the project, which would be the largest capital investment in B.C.’s histo-

ry.

Government sources suggest that legislation could be introduced as early as this summer.

“These agreements set the stage for a potential $36-billion investment in northern B.C.,” Clark said at a Vancouver news conference. “It will be a key driver of jobs in every corner of our province.”

She said there are currently 19 proposals for LNG projects in B.C.

Four arrested after fight Continued from page 1

Through the course of the police investigation, four local individuals were identified as suspects. All four have since been arrested and are in police custody. Police are recommending various charges against these four individuals with the most serious being aggravated assault.

“There have been a number of incidents of violence in the city over the recent weeks and police believe this group may be responsible for much of it,” S/Sgt. Dubnyk said. “We are urging people to come forward with any information they have pertaining to this incident or any other incident that has recently occurred.”

EYE ON YOUR CITY A GOOD PLACE TO BE. What is the City of Kimberley Doing to Conserve Water? – The City has installed a system called Flow Works to collect and analyze data related to the City’s water system. This assists water utility crews with locating and repairing water leaks in a timely manner. The 5-year capital plan includes the systematic replacement of leaky water mains throughout the City. By reducing the consumption of water, we can all help reduce the cost of water treatment and extend the life of the existing water system.

What Can Kimberley Residents do to Conserve Water? – aka The Three Rs - Reduce, Repair, and Retrofit. Reduce by turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, washing and shaving, keeping shower time to 5 minutes or less, washing only full loads of laundry, and running the dishwasher only when it is full. Repair leaky fixtures and toilets. Retrofit shower heads, toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, and faucets with aerators.

Water Smart Ambassador - As signatories to the Columbia Basin Water Smart Charter, the City of Kimberley is committed to achieving a 30% reduction in water use by 2015 from our 2011 baseline.

From 2011 to 2013, the City achieved a 13% decrease in gross community water demand. To help residents further conserve water, the City of Kimberley has hired a Water Smart Ambassador for the summer. The Water Smart Ambassador’s goal is to help residents reduce outdoor water use in the summer, as this accounts for a significant percentage of overall water usage. In a 30 minute appointment, the Water Smart Ambassador will assess your soil conditions, identify current watering practices and look for ways to conserve water, determine the watering needs of the landscape, and assess your manual or automatic watering system and make changes to increase efficiencies. For more information or to set up an appointment with our Water Smart Ambassador, contact Montana at waterconservation@kimberley.ca or by calling 250-427-9660.

Watering Conservation and Restrictions - Residents of properties with even numbered addresses should sprinkle or irrigate only on even numbered days, and residents of properties with odd numbered addresses should sprinkle or irrigate only on odd numbered days. Sprinkling and irrigating should be done between the hours of 4:00 am to 10:00 am AND 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

The optimum time for setting automatic irrigation systems is between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 4:00 am. More frequent watering of newly laid sod or newly seeded lawns is expected.

Please call City Hall and advise if you plan additional sprinkling for new lawns.

A pretty, pointless palaver “In order to understand, you have to come out from behind your prejudices.”

Anonymous Just a few days ago I found myself again involved in one of those pointless chats that an unwary person can have with his neighbours. It was one of those conversations that begins nowhere, drifts about all over hell’s half acre and ends up somewhere else, and one goes away not the slightest bit wiser.

It was Chuck, the other day, going on about strength, fortitude and heroics, about war memorials, maybe. He never claims to have been in the armed forces but drops hints and indicates modestly that he doesn’t really want to talk about it, while he maunders on.

I was far away, thinking about gardens and all the stuff that ought to be done in mine. I said suddenly, “Dandelions!”

George looked at me as if he were stunned.

George always looks stunned; it is his political look, but for a moment he recovered his erstwhile composure and said, “What?”

I leaned casually on his fence, tested it for stability and repeated, “Dandelions. They’re tough enough for you. They’re resilient to the nth degree.”

Chuck said that he thought dandelions came from Europe, not Brazil.

He can be slow to catch on, can Chuck.

While the other two sorted out their thoughts and explained the facts of life to each other, I recalled how a now-deceased neighbour called Albert had burst out into his yard on Saturday morning, weed-killer to hand, and discovered me lying flat on my face on my lawn. After ascertaining that I wasn’t in a drunken stupor nor actually dead he asked, “What on earth…?” then, “Oh!” when he spotted the camera in my hand and the subject of future photograph. I was attempting to capture the image of a dandelion in full flower, that perfect yellow that so many of us adPeter mire.

On that occasion, my Warland neighbour Albert gave me one of ‘those looks’ then retreated. People are always giving me ‘those looks’. I don’t know what it is that gets into them when they stare at me that way. It’s not my fabulous good looks.

George and Chuck meanwhile had drifted on to another topic, probably the woman down the street, who was blowing dust and leaves in a perfect tornado in every direction with her infernally noisy machine.

I dragged the pair of them back to the topic at hand. “Like most life forms, dandelions are actually over five hundred slightly different sub species,” I announced smugly.

“My folks used to eat dandelion leaves,” added George. “And make dandelion wine.

Gran used to get tanked on it.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

“Better tell Henry over the road there,” suggested Chuck. “He spends fortunes on spraying the damn things and they still come back. He reckons the seeds come from city property.”

Brief intermission as two young women jiggled by in bright tights and T-shirts so Chuck sucked in his gut and hailed one by name. The two women smiled and waved and then laughed so Chuck slumped into his normal slouch.

“Guess that’s what the city’s got in its mind, “I opted. “Probably going to collect the heads and set up a winery.”

“Yeah! In the old fire hall.” This was George. Then he added, “They’ve got them at the South Pole now. Dandelions. They appear in the summer down there. I guess they crop up in the little veggie gardens the scientists grow.”

I decided it was time to depart.

“Prolly got the Eskimos working on them,” added Chuck looking even more puzzled, then corrected himself. “They don’t have Eskimos at the South Pole. They’re called Inuit.

They’ve got penguins though.”

I was thinking, George, Chuck and I are characters waiting to get into a comic strip.

George, for instance, was on a roll. He said, “Yeah! And they stand around in bunches looking miserable with eggs on their feet. Bet they don’t garden for the scientists.”

“Wonder if they eat the dandelions like your folks, George,” I wondered, then drifted off to see if there was anything sensible to do.

Letters to the Editor

Listen to the volunteers

I recently wrote about my pride as both a Kimberley and an East Kootenay resident. Our towns and cities all have many splendours to compare and share.

Also shared rather too often, sad to say, is disregard for volunteers and their immense impact. When Cambodia commitments took me from this area in 2004, my sustained frustration made the rift easier to bear. Now back here full-time, I see it again with the same dismay.

Two past Kimberley examples showed this thinking to poor effect. One was a Platzl redesign around 2003. Our previous gazebo could hold large performing groups. It served many groups and uses, and boosted our city profile. But planners for its replacement ignored our ideas and wishes. Yes, fire-access was one issue, but certainly not enough to block all comment from those with greatest needs and the most to offer. Today’s cutesy covered cupcake can fit a few people and instruments, but no more.

And in 1997, we performers were asked to “frame” a fund-raising campaign to “Save McKim Theatre!” Superbly designed and our main performance

hall, it was the envy of many a town. We volunteered gladly and gave our all to kick off, advance and complete the campaign. But the rebuilt hall collapsed, and then... were we consulted for a new design? Allowed any input? Not a jot!

The current hall’s defects of stage, backstage and lobby cripple it woefully, with revenue for both renter and the users reduced ever since it opened due to limited usefulness. That’s a self-inflicted wound that still festers while Kimberley struggles without the fine theatre it once enjoyed, and many productions at the tiny Centre 64 must run several days just to cover expenses.

Those old issues matter now because the attitude still exists. In Kimberley’s current “fee-for-all” City focus, new or raised fees are being levied against volunteer groups for use of City assets. The intense, no-cost commitment that provides so much is disregarded.

As for Cranbrook — a city so desperate for history that it rebuilt a lost entry arch and the clock tower — its historic Fire Hall is to be sold. Such blinkered folly! To call the squashed dollar-focus “responsibility to the taxpayer” seems a great backhand belt in the faces of eager volunteers whose work would have enhanced the

city’s much-vaunted historic character.

City Councils and other managers must assess dollar-value for volunteer hours and the expertise that ensures upto-code structures and well-chosen assets.

Committed volunteers are taxpayers.

Their sweat equity enables and animates Sam Steele Days, First Saturdays (Kimberley), Focus on Youth (Creston), Railsto-Trails, EK Performing Arts Festival, libraries and museums, disabled and special-needs service, splendid sports spectaculars, a zillion Boards of Directors, thrift shops and food banks, Symphony of the Kootenays, immigrant aid, support of youth and seniors...

Let’s do a quick tally. Send word of your personal and agency activities, quick time-commitment estimates and anything else that you think relevant to ekvol88@gmail.com - and I’ll report on the results.

Volunteer time, energy and expertise, if chalked up on pay-scales and balance sheets, would show up as monumental budget items. And imagine if we all got so fed up at last that we went on strike?

Burundi and the issue of term limits

P

art of the army rebelled in Burundi last week, not to overthrow the constitution but to save it. The revolt failed after two days of shooting in the capital, Bujumbura, and the generals who led it surrendered. “I hope they won’t kill us,”said the coup leader, Major-General Godefroid Niyombare. But like much else in Burundi, that remains up in the air.

Burundi, a small, densely populated country (10 million people) in the centre of Africa, has had a relatively good ten years. After a 12-year civil war that killed 300,000 people, a deal was struck at Arusha in 2005 that made the leader of the Hutu rebel group, Pierre Nkurunziza, the president, but divided the army equally between Hutus and Tutsis It was a messy compromise, since Hutus are 80 percent of the population and Tutsis only 15 percent. However, it avoided the much worse carnage in neighbouring Rwanda, a country with the same ethnic mix where 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were murdered in three months in 1994, so it was worth it.

Nkurunziza was appointed president of Burundi for five years (there was no time for an election at the end of a civil war), but he ran successfully for a second term in the 2010 election. The trouble started when he announced early this year that he intended to run for a third term as president in the election due this June. The new (2005) constitution says that presidents may only serve for two terms.

The two-term limit became standard in the new democracies that spread across Africa in the 1990s, and by ten years ago 34 African countries had put it into their constitutions. It is an attempt to end the “Big Man” phenomenon in African politics and make peaceful political

change possible, but it does not always work.

In the last quarter-century, 18 African presidents have reached the two-term limit. Only eight of them stepped down without first trying to amend the constitution and abolish or change the term limit. As President Mathieu Kerekou of Benin remarked ruefully: “If you don’t leave power, power will leave you.” But ten other presidents did try to amend the constitution in order to stay past two terms, and seven of them succeedGwynne ed.

Moreover, all the Dyer presidents who managed to change the constitution also won the subsequent election, most notably Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, who famously said in 1986 that “No African president should be in power for more than ten years.” Museveni has now been in power for 29 years, and is preparing for the next election.

So the glass is at best half-full, although long-serving President Blaise Compaore of Burkina Faso was chased from power by popular protests last year when he tried to amend the constitution to give himself another term. But here comes Pierre Nkurunziza, who cannot bring himself to stop being president after only two terms.

Burundi is exactly the wrong place to do this sort of thing. The country’s relative peace and modest prosperity depend on everybody being confident that the inter-ethnic killing is really over. That in turn depends on everybody observing the terms of the power-sharing deal between Hutus and Tutsis worked out at Arusha ten years ago.

Nkurunziza was already showing signs of dissatisfaction with the deal. Last year, he tried and failed to change the part of the constitution that guarantees posi-

tions for the minority Tutsi group in all government institutions. His party’s youth wing, the Imbonerakure, has recently been given weapons, and its resemblance to the Interahamwe militia that did much of the killing in Rwanda makes many people uneasy.

The first step in his plan for holding onto power was to get the Constitutional Court to decide that he had not really served two terms, because for the first term he was appointed by parliament, not elected by the people. The Constitutional Court agreed — although one of its judges then fled the country and said that they had all been bullied and threatened into giving that judgement.

Last month the chair of the African Union Commission, Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, questioned the decision by the Burundi court, saying the Arusha peace accord clearly stated a president should not seek a third term. More recently the African Union called for the postponement of the Burundi election, currently scheduled for June.

And of course the protesters have been out in the streets of Bujumbura every day, although at least 20 have been killed already. Even after the failed coup (which they deny any connection with) some of them are still going out to protest. But Burundi is clearly drifting back towards a civil war, if not an actual genocide. More than 50,000 people fled the country just last week in fear of what is to come.

The time to put pressure on Nkurunziza to back off and obey the law is now; later may be too late. It should come above all from African countries and institutions, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt if the major providers of aid to Burundi also made their views known loudly and clearly.

National gold

EKVC U-14 boys claim title at national championships Barry Coulter Editor

The East Kootenay Volleyball Club U-14 Avalanche have returned home as national gold medallists.

The squad, comprised of players from Cranbrook, Fernie and Creston, took Gold in the Tier 2 category in Volleyball Canada’s 2015 National Championships, held in Calgary May 14-19.

The Avalanche played May 14, 15 and 16 at the Olympic Oval.

More than 10,000 athletes converged on Calgary for the event, representing teams

from all over Canada.

The Avalanche had six matches over the first two days of pool play, facing some tough teams. And while they

were relegated to Tier 2 for the playoffs, Coach Rob Mogielka said those matches were played close and competitive and could have gone either way.

On Day 3, Saturday, May 16, the Avalanche took part in some tight,

closely fought matches in the Tier 2 (there were four tiers in all) quarter-finals and semi-finals, with each match going three sets. But the Avalanche prevailed throughout the Gold Medal final against the squad from Niagara Rapids, Ontario.

The finish leaves the East Kootenay Volleyball Club Avalanche ranked 11th in Canada.

The EKVC season this year consisted of two premier tournaments in Calgary, the home tournament Cranbrook Cup (which the Avalanche won) and Provincials in Edmonton.

Bandits place third in Kalispell Cranbrook’s boys of summer return for home-opener Saturday afternoon at Confederation Park Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Cranbrook Bandits continued their strong start to the 2015 American Legion Baseball season with a thirdplace finish in Kalispell this past weekend.

After opening the campaign undefeated through three games in Libby, Mont., the Bandits (5-2) battled to a 2-2 weekend in Kalispell from May 15 to 17.

The Bandits bookended their weekend with a pair of victories, opening the tourney with a 7-5 triumph over Edmonton on Friday afternoon before closing things out with a 7-2 win over Calgary ‘A’ Sunday afternoon.

Sandwiched between the wins were a pair of losses to Ferris and Calgary ‘A’.

The Bandits weekend-opening win over Edmonton came courtesy a run-scoring single from Brandon Ouilette (.333 BA/.481 OBP/.381 SLG) in the bottom of the fifth inning. Rylan D ’ Et c h e v e r r y (.333/.556/.333) crossed home plate to score the sixth run of the night for Cranbrook.

Rookie Shayne Walker (2-0, 1.66 ERA)

earned his second win of the season, going six innings strong, allowing six hits and three earned runs while striking out three batters.

At the plate, Caden M c C o r m a c k (.286/.375/.429) led the offense for the Bandits, hitting 2-for-3 with two RBI. A Friday evening tilt against Ferris saw the Bandits blow a threerun lead in the top of the seventh inning before

falling 6-4.

Ferris tallied five runs in the top of the seventh inning, storm-

ing back from down 4-1, before stymying the Bandits in the bottom half of the inning to

claim the win.

Tyler Thorn (0-1, 0.88 ERA) held the mound for six innings and took the loss, striking out three along the way.

Robert Nickell (.444/.545/.444) went 2-for-3 at the dish, crossing home once, while Ce dar Ke mp (.333/.588/.333) knocked two RBI. Friday’s loss to Ferris wasn’t the only night the Bandits saw a lead evaporate before their eyes.

After knocking in six runs in the top of the first inning, the Bandits carried a 10-7 advantage into the bottom of the sixth inning before surrendering four runs, falling 11-10 to Calgary ‘A’.

Connor Armstrong (1-0, 1.24 ERA) took the start, going 2.2 innings and striking out two batters, while walking five.

Washington-based WHL players’ amateur status affirmed Bill 5893 signed in Washington State on Monday confirms WHLers as amateur student athletes and not team employees Nick Pat terson Everett Daily Herald

The Everett Silvertips and the rest of the WHLs Wa s h i n g t o n - b a s e d teams are no longer in danger of being at a competitive disadvantage.

Washington State governor Jay Inslee on Monday signed a bill into law that affirms the amateur status of WHL players.

“On behalf of our Wa s h i n g t o n - b a s e d member clubs and the amateur hockey players who play, or aspire to play, in the top development league in North America, we wish to express our sincere ratitude to the Governor as well as the Senate and House of Representatives,” said Ron Robison, WHL Commissioner, in a league press release.

“This legislation not only confirms the status of WHL players as amateur athletes but will allow our four Washington-based clubs to continue offering worldclass development and education opportunities, as they have been doing in the State for close to 40 years.

“We fully expect other jurisdictions in our region to adopt similar legislation as Washington

and Saskatchewan have in order to ensure our teams are in a position to continue operating as they have for decades.”

“This legislation not only confirms the status of WHL players as amateur athletes but will allow our four Washingtonbased clubs to continue offering world-class development and education opportunities.”

Ron Robison WHL Commissioner Senate Bill 5893 exempts WHL players from both the state’s Minimum Wage Act and Industrial Welfare Act. The Minimum Wage Act potentially could have affected the way in which Washington-based WHL players were compensated, while the Industrial Welfare Act potentially could have affected the ability of 16- and 17-yearolds to play in the league.

There are four WHL

Bandits split weekend in Kalispell Continued from page 8 Daniel Mercandelli (0-1, 14.70 ERA) was eventually tagged with the loss, throwing one inning and allowing four runs.

Ouilette and Brendan Bird (.375/.565/.812) each went 2-for-4 at the plate, scored twice each and clubbed in one run.

The Bandits were provided an opportunity to exact revenge on Calgary ‘A’ Sunday afternoon and they made good on the chance with a 7-2 triumph.

Bird (0-0, 0.00 ERA) started the game on the mound, going 2.1 innings and striking out one batter.

Jake Bromley (1-0, 4.20 ERA) eventually claimed the win, tossing 1.2 innings and only allowing one earned run.

B r o m l e y

(.467/.526/.467) got it done on the offensive side of the ball Sunday, registering a perfect 2-for-2 mark at the plate, along with one RBI and two runs.

Next up, the Bandits hit the diamond at Confederation Park in Cranbrook for the first time this season with a 1 p.m. matinee against the Kootenai Valley Rangers Saturday, May 23.

Sunday afternoon, the team ships east to take on Fort Macleod at Pincher Creek.

Cranbrook Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek was unavailable for comment prior to print deadline Wednesday evening. *Statistics listed in brackets are based on entire season’s play.

teams in Washington -the Silvertips, the Seattle Thunderbirds, the Spokane Chiefs and the TriCity Americans.

The bill was passed by a vote of 91-7 in the State House of Representatives and by a vote of 47-1 in the State Senate.

Without the legislation it’s possible the Wa s h i n g t o n - b a s e d WHL teams would have had to compensate their players more than the league’s other 18 teams, and it’s possible the Wa s h i n g t o n - b a s e d teams would have been unable to field 16- and 17-year-old players.

“Obviously it’s legislation were in favor of,” Everett general manager Garry Davidson said.

“With the governor signing off on it officially it’s a positive move for us going forward.”

The legislation stems from a complaint filed with the State Department of Labor and In-

dustry in September 2013, in which an unnamed party claimed the WHL violated the state’s minimum wage and child labor laws.

Last December the Department of Labor and Industry announced it was expanding its investigation.

WHL players, who are between the ages of 16 and 20, are compensated in the form of free room and board, a small monthly stipend, and a year of college paid for each year played in the league. The complaint

claimed the stipend fell far short of the state’s minimum wage, which at the time was $9.32 per hour.

The complaint filed in Washington is just one of several legal challenges being made with regards to junior hockey players, most occurring in Canada. The questions as to whether players in the Canadian Hockey League, of which the WHL is a member, are being compensated fairly, as well as whether they should be considered amateur or professional, continue to be debated.

In a story published

by TSN on Sept. 10, 2014, senior correspondent Rick Westhead reported Canadian Hockey League teams could be faced with paying wages in the realm of $11,000 per player per season should major junior players be deemed to be employees rather than amateur athletes.

Cancer Changes Genes By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

It is widely believed that random mutations in our genes cause cancer.

However, a greater understanding of the human genome and further research has shown that the mutations are not at all random and are most likely caused by the cancer cells themselves.

Cancer cells have a different metabolism than healthy cells and require much more energy. In order to produce the excessive amounts of energy, these cells are able to turn on and off genes that either make or block this energy production. Also, cancer has the ability to alter the genes that signal cells to die if they are abnormal or have lived past their ‘expiration’ or limited number of reproductions.

One example of the many ways that cancer cells can turn genes off is called ‘Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein’ (IGFBP).

Normal cells have this gene turned on and the IGFBP acts as an inhibitor for cell growth. Cancer cells are able to shut down the IGFBP gene and therefore have no limitations on growth leading to uninhibited tumours. Knowing what genes have been turned on or off can be a great advantage when treating cancers as we are able to be more direct with treatments aimed at supporting specific genes. Simple treatments that help support IGFBP include grapeseed extract, alpha lipoic acid and Vitamin D. Testing is now available that can offer insight into which genes are mutated and which treatments will have the most substantial effect on the cancer cells. Cancer is one of the most life altering diseases and our goal is to support patients through surgery, chemo and/or radiation by reducing side effects, increasing effectiveness and improving overall quality of life using natural and scientifically proven treatments.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week May 17 - 23

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1902 Roads ruined and bridges lost … For five days there has been a continuous rainfall, and in the mountains from Elko to Crows Nest, and even on east to Lethbridge, the rain has fallen in torrents, with no letup whatever. As a consequence rivers have rapidly risen and every creek is a raging torrent. Many of the bridges on the smaller streams have been washed out, and at this time there is danger of bridges over the larger rivers being swept away. Railway traffic on the Crow is virtually suspended, as the track from Elko to Crows Nest is impassable. The bridge at Coal creek is canted over and out of line, and wherever there is a chance for a slide of earth between these two points one has come down. All passenger trains have been cancelled, and yesterday the only trains running were two or three local freights. East of Macleod in the heavy gumbo cuts, there is a mud slide nearly ten miles in length. The company has about 150 men on the ground ready to attack this obstacle, but the rain has been so persistent that the men will not face it. Two snow plows have been secured and they will buck the slide at each end,

backing out each time with several tons of earth, which will be cleaned off, and back they will go again.

Several small landslides have occurred between Elko and Kootenay Landing but now the stretch of track is absolutely clear and open to traffic. Yet there is no traffic over it, as nothing can be carried through. The Nelson passengers for the east were carried around by Revelstoke yesterday and no boat was run on Kootenay Lake. Owing to the continued rains and the present high stage of water, fears are now entertained that if clear weather and hot suns follow, the immense amount of snow in the hills will cause an unprecedented flood and all kinds of damages.

Under existing conditions Cranbrook is cut off from railway communication with the outer world, and it depends entirely upon the weather when traffic will be resumed.

Broke his leg ... Last Sunday when Engineer Fred Bryan was stepping off his engine his foot struck a wet place on the track and slipped, falling and wrenching his leg in such a way as to sustain a bad fracture between the knee and ankle. He was taken to the hospital and will be laid up for some time.

Piano tuning ... J. B. Eshleman, expert piano tuner, is in Cranbrook on a professional visit. Orders left at the Cranbrook hotel will receive prompt and careful attention.

Close call … Little Willie Sheers,

of the village at the mines, had a narrow escape from drowning on Wednesday of this week. He was playing near Coal Creek and tumbled in. The current was rapidly bearing the little fellow away when a large dog, which had been playing with the lad, sprang into the stream to the rescue and pulled the lad to the shore.

Where’s the beef? … Owing to railway traffic being cut off the visible supply of beef in Cranbrook is only about enough to meet the demand until Saturday, while other towns around here are about out now.

New home … H. McVittie is building a handsome residence on Baker hill.

1903 Excursion to Frank … A Chance to View the Field of the Terrible Disaster. On Monday, May 25, Victoria Day, the C. P. R. will run a special train from Cranbrook to Frank, Alberta, to give the people an opportunity of viewing the scene of the recent disaster. The train will leave Cranbrook at 7 a. m., and Frank at 7 p. m., thus giving visitors about seven hours at Frank. The fare for the round trip from Cranbrook will be $4.65. This will be the only chance to visit that town at such a moderate cost.

Nearly drowned … Last Friday Fred Hazen, in trying to cross Perry Creek near the steam shovel, came near losing his life. Mr. Hazen was taking a load of goods to the shovel

and had to ford the stream at this point. The water was not so deep but what they could have crossed all right, but the lead team balked in the middle of the stream, lying down in the water, pulling the wheel team down with them. Mr. Hazen jumped out, into the water and tried to save the horses by cutting the harness. The horses got tangled in the harness and two of them were drowned, one of the lead horses and one of the wheel horses. Mr. Hazen deserves much credit for his heroic work in trying to save the horses, and in saving the two he did, for the water is ice cold and being alone he might have perished. The teams belong to Geary & Doyle.

Assault charges … W. M. Stewart, of the Grand Union Hotel, Morrissey, was fined $50 for assaulting a carpenter by the name of Higby, who lives at that place. It appears that Higby under the influence of liquor used indecent language in Stewart’s hotel last Friday evening and the latter attacked Higby with a piece of lead pipe, inflicting nasty bruises over his head and arm.

Chief McMullen served a summons on Stewart and he was up before Stipendiary Magistrate Forbes on Wednesday, with Mr. Harvey, of Fort Steele, defending him. It was contended in the defense that the accused was justified in using violence under such provocation but the magistrate thought differently and imposed a fine of $50.

No way to fish … Some steps should be taken to prevent the slaughter of trout by dynamite this season. There was considerable of that work last year and none of the guilty parties were punished.

Wanted – females … The district of South East Kootenay could take care of a car load of female domestics. Good looking, healthy girls from the east would be able to secure good positions and many of them good husbands. Cranbrook has enough bachelors to take care of half a car load any time. The girls of the east should turn their eyes and their feet to the setting sun of the Kootenays -- the land of great promise.

A good story … They tell a good story on Leroy Sage, the proprietor of the secondhand store. For some time a gang of small urchins have been bringing in joints of stove pipe for sale, and receiving their cash.

After he had bought forty or fifty joints he concluded he would store the lot in an outbuilding where he kept his stoves and stove pipe.

Imagine his surprise when he discovered that every joint was gone, but the mysterious source of supply of the pipe he had been buying was explained. When he returned to the store he found three little tots of girls waiting for him and each out held a joint of pipe under her arm.

“What did you do?” he was asked.

“Well,” said Leroy, with a good natured smile, “I played the game out and bought the pipe.”

FACTS You Need to Know About…

Forest Fire Risk This Year With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

1

There have been twice as many forest fires in our Southeast region this year (25) as there were last year (12). It is warmer and drier in SE BC this spring than in the recent past and snow load is way down, so this fire season could be a bad one.

2 3

All 25 fires in the SE so far have been caused by humans. Unsafe campfire use and unsafe spring burning on properties are examples of how wildfires that threaten our communities are started by the people who live amongst us.

Before you start a fire on crown land or private property, be sure you know what restrictions are in place: http://bcwildfire.ca/hprScripts/WildfireNews/Bans.asp . And please report any unattended fire or wildfire to 1-800-663-555 or *5555 on your cell phone.

B.C. Government Proclaims May Social Enterprise Month Social Enterprises are a relatively new business model, and are quickly expanding throughout B.C. and around the world.

These are organizations committed to a social mission that direct their revenue to drive social change.

Based on a 2012 survey, B.C. social enterprises provided services to nearly 700,000 people and generated at least $60 million in revenues.

To help raise awareness of the work social entrepreneurs are doing in B.C. and the contributions these businesses make to our communities and economy, the Province of British Columbia has proclaimed May 2015 as Social Enterprise Month.

• Provide a personalized badge, unique to the program, identifying Ambassadors • Provide complimentary tickets for Luncheon and Chamber Business After Business events attended as a Chamber Ambassador.

Why become a Chamber Ambassador?

Our Ambassadors have an insider’s perspective on Cranbrook’s business community and increased visibility for themselves and their business.

They are the first to meet new Chamber members and have structured contact with existing members providing the opportunity to put their company’s name in the forefront.

Ambassadors are asked to serve for at least one year with most choosing to renew their Ambassadorship.

Become an Ambassador If you’re a Chamber member who wants to make new contacts, help others gain business exposure and share the benefits and excitement of Chamber membership, please contact Laura Haley at 250 426 5914 or membership@cranbrookchamber.com

Executive Director’s

Soap Box

Successful Businesses Big & Small Good for Everyone

By David D. Hull, Executive Director

David D. Hull

It drives me nuts to hear people bad mouthing successful businesses.

They see big corporations making tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in profit and they declare “the man” (whoever that might be) is cleaning up on the backs of the working and common folk.

They see a successful local businessperson with the trappings of success from a lifelong effort in business with all the inherent risks and rewards and they are somehow the poster child for capitalist evil.

Not one economist, of any political persuasion, in any jurisdiction, can be found that will not concur that a good economy in a modern western democracy is good for everyone.

Note they say everyone. Not big/medium/ small business. Not pensioners or labour union members. Not teachers or executives.

Everyone Profitable successful businesses are a sign of

of every person of working age in B.C. is a job.

a good economy. A good economy is good for everyone in British Columbia. Bar none.

A good economy funds social programs, hospitals, education, arts, culture and everything else we look to businesses or the government to fund.

I start yelling at the TV when I see union leaders and others supposedly representing “the common man” who thump their chest and gnash their teeth and say that

The government does not have any money, all they have is our money. Personal income tax, royalties, corporate taxes, consumption taxes and the like, are the mainstay of government funding.

Successful businesses of all sizes employing people and paying corporate taxes drive our economy

A competitive vibrant economy provides the funding for governments to do all the things we have come to expect. Unsuccessful businesses, idled or decimated economic sectors, contribute very little to the government coffers. Unemployed people or those on assistance contribute very little, if anything, to the treasury.

programs, tax cuts, incentives and the like creating a competitive investment environment is only good for business, and especially big business, and screws over the little guy, the question I have is; “Who is the little guy working for?”

Successful businesses of all sizes employing people and paying corporate taxes drive our economy and provide for a high quality of life. The best thing for the personal finances

Logic should dictate that the tens of thousands of employees of Telus, Teck

Resources, Jim Pattison Group, Best Buy, H.Y. Louie, Westcoast Energy, West Fraser Timber, HSBC Bank, Ledcor, Canfor, Finning, London Drugs, Terasen and the long list of other large successful B.C. along with the plethora of small and medium companies would be very happy with “the man” doing well.

Those who think “the man” should not be profitable and successful should look at the investment portfolio of all the major pension plans including the Canada Pension Plan. The retirement of tens of millions of Canadians would be looking rather bleak if their union, personal, or company pension plan portfolio company’s blue chips turned to rust.

So the next time someone starts vociferously denouncing successful, profitable businesses please correct them. Our way of life depends on it. They either do not understand or are practicing willful ignorance.

BC Chamber Advocacy Adding that new capacity, however, is driving energy prices up. This is eroding the competitive advantage that B.C. has traditionally enjoyed through low electricity prices.

The increase in energy prices is presenting a significant challenge for business, particularly those in the export sector that are unable to pass these costs on to their customers.

review the BC Clean Energy Act, and

• examine the implications of adopting natural gas as a component of B.C.’s electricity mix.

The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce is an active and engaged member of the BC Chamber of Commerce.

BC Chamber Goal: Electricity Aging energy infrastructure threatens to erode a long-time competitive advantage for B.C. businesses: low electricity prices.

The Issue: B.C.’s economic growth and prosperity depends on our ability to remain competitive in an increasingly global marketplace. As B.C.’s energy needs rise and supply struggles to keep up, significant investment is needed to build greater generation capacity.

The BC Chamber’s goal is to ensure an abundant, reliable, and affordable energy supply to support the province’s continued economic development.

CHAMBER SUPPORTS COAL ALLIANCE The Board of Directors of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce unanimously passed the following resolution at their May 13, 2015 meeting; That the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce write a letter to the Coal Alliance supporting their efforts to development and disseminate information regarding the Coal Industry.

Member of the board had met previously with representatives of the Coal Alliance and subsequently reviewed a staff report prior to making their decision.

Chamber Executive Director, David D. Hull, commented, “The sentiment, prior to the vote was that given the importance of the coal industry to the BC and East Kootenay economy, and the contribution metallurgical grade coal makes to producing necessary and ancillary goods, it was imperative that a balanced, factual portrayal of the coal industry in its entirety was presented.”

The Coal Alliance is a collective of representatives from the coal industry, including mines, marine terminals, railways, industry associations, organized labour and others who support the mining and shipping of coal in British Columbia.

Their objective is to ensure British Columbians have the facts about the coal industry – how coal is safely moved and the benefits coal provides to the world around us.

“We encourage the Coal Alliance to continue their efforts to ensure that the general public, special interest groups, and the media understand and have a sound grasp of the entire spectrum of the coal industry as it relates to our economy and the production of steel component products,” said Hull

EAST KOOTENAY COAL - The East Kootenay Coalfields comprise three separate fields extending from the Montana border northward and known respectively as Flathead, Crowsnest, and Elk Valley coalfields. These are the most important coalfields in the province having produced over 500 million tonnes of mainly metallurgical coal since 1898.

All the coal mined in the East Kootenay coalfields is extracted in open pit operations and is destined for export.

Canada’s coal supply chain operates under strict environmental and safety regulations that are among the most stringent in the world.

The industry adheres to regulatory permits and requirements set by authorities, including Federal, Provincial, Regional and Municipal governments and Port Metro Vancouver. These provisions ensure that BC coal is produced, shipped, and managed in a safe manner. Coal is an inert mineral that is not considered a dangerous or hazardous material by Transport Canada and is safely handled by thousands of workers every day.

COAL ECONOMY - Coal generates over $3.2 billion annually in economic activity in B.C. Coal creates over 26,000 B.C. jobs in mining, transport, equipment, and other related sectors.

Coal produces about $715 million in public revenues for all levels of government that go to support critical services such as health care and education. Coal is Port Metro Vancouver’s principal export and accounts for approximately 25% of the Port’s total volume each year.

There are over 4,000 employees in the coal industry in the Elk Valley with the average wage of $95,000 a year. Teck Resources alone infuses over $1 billion annually into the B.C. and over $470 million of that into the Metro Vancouver area per year.

COAL IS NECESSARY - Steelmaking coal, which comprises of approximately 65% of the coal mined in BC, is a key ingredient in the production of steel, which is critical to many of the things society relies on daily including but not limited to buildings, vehicles, rapid transit and everyday household items.

COAL IS GREEN – Steel plays a critical role in green energy production. Whether it is a wind turbine, solar panel, tidal power system or bio-energy infrastructure – it all requires steel. For example, 100 tonnes of steelmaking coal is required to produce the 185 tonnes of steel used in a typical wind turbine.

COAL POWERS THE WORLD Worldwide, the use of coal as an energy source remains crucial to many developed and developing countries. 40 percent of the world’s population still relies on coal for energy – for light, heat and other necessary daily needs.

Today, the world’s electricity is created from the following sources: •

42% coal

•

21% natural gas

•

15% hydroelectric

•

14% nuclear

•

5% oil

•

3% other renewables

BACKGROUND COAL - 7,678 million metric tonnes of coal is produced each year around the world.

Canada’s production is approximately 67.1 million tonnes, or 0.87 percent of global production.

BC COAL - Coal has been mined in BC for more than a century.

Today, ten of the 24 Canadian coal mines are located in BC. The coal mined in BC is primarily metallurgical grade coal, a key ingredient in the production of steel.

Canada is one of about 35 countries that produce coal. While Canada’s production is relatively small, Canadian coal is highly sought after because of its low sulfur and ash properties and high caloric value which makes it a higher quality coal.

Supporting Canadian Families

• Raising a family is hard work and, unlike the Liberals and NDP, we prefer to leave it to the experts: Mom and Dad. • Our plan is making life more affordable for every single Canadian family with children across this country.

• Indeed, thanks to measures introduced by our government, the average Canadian family of four will receive average benefits of $6,600 every year.

• Economic Action Plan 2015 introduces several key measures to build on this record of support, including: • Increasing the Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) Annual Contribution Limit to help make it easier for Canadians to save for their future.

• Making our Healthcare System More Efficient for families through support for the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement after the Liberals slashed health care transfers to epidemic levels.

• Tackling the Important Issue of Mental Health by renewing the mandate of the Mental Health Commission of Canada for another 10 years.

• Supporting Canadians Caring for Gravely Ill and Dying Family Members by extending the Employment Insurance (EI) Compassionate Care Benefits from 6 weeks to over 6 months (26 weeks).

• Enhancing Support for Child Advocacy Centers across Canada, delivering communitybased programs that help children and families recover from victimization • These measures announced in the fall are benefiting every single Canadian family with children, including: • Introducing the Family Tax Cut, a federal tax credit that will allow a high-income spouse to transfer up to $50,000 of taxable income to a spouse in a lower tax bracket. This credit will provide tax relief – capped at $2,000 – for couples with children under the age of 18.

• Increasing and expanding the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) in order to provide every family in Canada with an additional $720 per year per child under the age of 18.

• Increasing the Child Care Expense Deduction Limits by $1,000.

• Doubling the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit to $1,000 and making it refundable.

• This builds on our Conservative Government’s strong record of support for Canadian families. Indeed, since 2006 our record includes: • Reducing the GST from 7% to 5%, putting more than $1,000 back in the pocket of an average family each year.

• Combatting Family Violence, by providing $25 million to address violence against Aboriginal women and girls.

• Introducing the Family Caregiver Tax Credit, a credit of up to $2,000 for caregivers of all types of infirm dependent relatives, including spouses, common-law partners, and minor children.

• Introducing the Children’s Arts Tax Credit, promoting the arts among children through a credit of up to $500 in eligible fees for programs associated with children’s artistic, cultural, recreational, and developmental activities.

• Home Buyers’ Tax Credit, the expanded Home Buyers’ Plan, and the Public Transit Tax Credit.

• Expanding tax relief for home care services to include personal care services for those who, due to age, infirmity or disability, require assistance at home.

• Enhancing Flexibility and Access to Employment Insurance (EI) Sickness Benefits, for those individuals that receive Parents of Critically Ill Children and the Compassionate Care EI benefits to ensure they get support when they need it most.

• Increasing the Adoption Expense Tax Credit to further recognize the unique costs a family incurs when adopting a child.

Toronto’s folk-rock masters play Cranbrook

Great Lake Swimmers to perform at Key City Theatre Ferdy Bell and

“O

ur current tour’s been going great,” says Tony Dekker, lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist for Toronto’s indie-folk rockers Great Lake Swimmers. “The band’s in top form, and we’ve been playing better and better with every show. We just did two and a half weeks in the US Northeast, and we’re really excited to head west through Canada. So far, so good!”

The Great Lake Swimmers perform live at Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on Sunday, May 31, with opening act The Weather Station and a set from Cranbrook’s Good Ol’ Goats! Agreed: so far, so good!

“We’re touring across Canada into June 2015,” explains Dekker, “then down the west coast of the US and into the south, and home through the middle, sort of. We end with a show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. We have some summer festivals booked, and we just confirmed a Euro-

pean tour for September. Basically we’ll be trying to reach as many places as possible to support ‘A Forest Of Arms.’ We feel strongly that there’s something worthy to share in the new album, and how it’s being presented in our live show.”

Formed in 2003, the Great Lake Swimmers have grown from a vehicle expressing Dekker’s muse into one of the most remarkable Canadian folk-rock bands of the 21st Century. Dekker & Co. have been positively compared to the music of Nick Drake, Iron & Wine, Will Oldham, Sufjan Stevens, Neil Young, Gram Parsons, and the Red House Painters. With six critically-acclaimed albums under their belt (including their new release “A Forest of Arms”), the band’s current lineup also includes Erik Arnesen (banjo, electric guitar, harmonium), Joshua Van Tassel (drums), Brent Higgins (upright bass), and Miranda Mulholland (violin, harmony vocals).

Dekker expresses excitement at the Great Lake Swimmer’s upcoming first appearance in the East Kootenay.

“I think our band works really well in either smaller centres or big-city urban scenes,” says Dekker. “We do try to get off the beaten path as much as possible, in terms of places that we play. Canada especially is such a huge and diverse country with so many amazing cities and towns to connect with, big and small.

“The positive points of the roadwork are continuing the conversations with people that were started when the record was released. It’s nice to connect to people tangibly, and share space with people musically. Sometimes when the band’s playing beyond the sum of its parts, it becomes an ecstatic experience, which is amazing. The downside of the road is being away from family and loved ones. It’s challenging to be away for longer lengths of time.”

Dekker was asked if

Laurie actors time travelling with “Back to the Future” Jo rdyn Wal ker a nd Sar ah B rown

On May 27, 28 and 29, Laurie Middle School’s Grade 9 Drama class is performing a production like no other.

Along with the help of some eager Grade 7s and Grade 8s, this musical will be the talk of the year.

This production is one everyone will surely know — “Back to the Future,” from the all-time movie classic loved by everyone. With its humour and dramatic scenes, it is not one you will want to miss.

Laurie Drama will be putting their own unique twist on the storyline, but will keep the original tale of Marty McFly — played by Ryan Feery — and his adventures.

After months of preparation, these

three days will be the final product of all the hard work of the students involved — a cast of 40.

The students’ enthusiasm and excitement are growing as the nerve-wracking days approach. Their broad and eccentric acting highlights the show and makes for a riveting production. The props, the costumes, the songs and the plot will definitely take you back in time.

The play is under the direction of committed teachers Ryan Fleming and Sandy Montgomery, and co-director John Marino.

“Back to the Future” runs at the Studio Stage Door in Cranbrook, Wednesday, May 27, through Friday, May 29. Tickets are available at Laurie Middle School, from Sandy Montgomery.

Elks

Once upon a time, a local girl was pumping gas at Lolly’s Texaco and winter was approaching. She’d turned 19 that summer and knew it was time to take a job indoors. She started that fall in a local watering hole, she learned many life lessons that two years and met all the local yokels. However it wasn’t until many years later that she learned their real names. After seeing all the brawls and booze and naked bodies she couldn’t handle it any longer and she decided to leave the little village she had called home and moved to the big city. As most stories go she fell in love, got pregnant, got married and after five years had enough of the rat race and moved her family back to the mountains. It was hard for her husband to find work, as he didn’t know anyone (reputation and connections is important in a small town), so she went back to doing what she knew so well. It is believed by some that bartenders and waitresses party the whole time they are at work, this couldn’t be further from the

truth! It was very difficult, but the money was good and she worked hard.

Times change and she got older, some fourteen years ago she found a job that was a little slower paced.

Many people before her had served the loyal members of the club, and many members have passed on since she started. Those that remember tell stories of the hay days when if you were not in a chair by 4pm you were not getting in. Everyone worked for the company and made a lot of money. However that is no longer the case and what worked then does not seem to work any longer. We would love to have all the seats filled and a party every weekend. A clear advantage to a club is that we can cater to the individual customer’s needs. There is a wealth of knowledge here and all are willing to share and teach what they know. So you always wanted to try being a bartender? It has perks and pitfalls but keep in mind most of the work is done in the later part of the day, so you can sleep in. You need to have a good sense of humor and be able to banter as well. Our little town is full of colorful characters and this is a great place to get to know them.

Over the years our bartender learned a lot of things that won’t really get you far in life but do make for an interesting story or ten. Life is short, so laugh dance and drink fast.

This story is not over yet as the lady in the story is on the freedom 85 plan, no pension or benefits in this choice of career. She does it for the love of people and making them happy.

As we are moving into the summer time, there are fewer scheduled activities at the Laughing Elk. There still is Food Bank Bingo on Mondays and Poker on Thursdays after the FOCUS meat draw and the regular Elks Meat Draw & 50/50 on Saturday afternoons. Our last Saturday Social Dinner & Dance on May 9th was another success, the next one will be held in September. come in and sign up for the Elks Golf Tournament to be held June 14th, including dinner and prizes.

Meanwhile, enjoy the summer, we hope to see you when you need a cold one.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Hang in there, and you will be able to clear up a problem that involves your domestic life. Your ability to get to the bottom of a problem will emerge. You’ll make peace at the end of it all.

A close friend appreciates you and lets you know. Tonight: You are full of surprises.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your ability to draw someone out will be enhanced. You will want to weigh the pros and cons of a financial matter before making a decision. A discussion could be divisive. As a result, you are likely to encounter a major roadblock. Tonight: In the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You see the importance of harnessing a vision. A partner might see the matter differently. Friends add an unpredictable element to your day. Speak your mind, and listen to a suggestion. Don’t forget to buy a card for someone special. Tonight: Just be yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to news more openly than you have as of late. Even though you might not like what you hear, you could discover that someone reveals useful information. Avoid a controlling person; don’t get tangled up in his or her web. Tonight: Take some much-needed private time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Zero in on what is important to you. You will need to play it low-key and have an important discussion that you have been avoiding. A power play could complicate a decision. Detach a bit before thinking this matter through. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you don’t want to accept more responsibility, say “no.”

Don’t worry so much about others’ reactions; you need to feel comfortable. Intensity surrounds a child or new friend.

Be careful before diving in and affecting this person’s decision.

Tonight: Make weekend plans.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You might be more emotional about a personal matter than you realize. You could have difficulty sorting through your feelings and your options. You are in a period of uncertainty.

You should consider breaking out of a rigid mindset. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Read between the lines with a situation that affects a loved one. A power play will backfire if you refuse to play. Go with the moment, even if it makes hash out of your schedule. Express your caring on a deeper level.

Tonight: Relax to a great piece of music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could regret a decision you make today. If possible, sit on it a little longer and decide what is possible. Others will be testy, and they suddenly might balk at what they previously had thought was OK. Use care with your finances; a mistake could be costly. Tonight: Say “yes.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in a position where you must take a stand

with a loved one who seems to be driving a hard bargain.

You are able to see the big picture, while others cannot.

Think carefully before taking a stand. Tonight: You are on top of a problem, even if you don’t realize it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Dive into a project that might prevent you from getting into weekend mode. This project might require a financial and emotional investment in order to be completed. Ask for feedback from a friend who understands what is occurring.

Tonight: Out late.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your creativity will come out when dealing with various situations, and it will allow you to communicate your caring. A financial issue could arise that might need more than a little imagination to be handled effectively. Tonight: Tap into your inner child.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am 17 years old and still in high school. I recently became “Jake’s” girlfriend. We’ve been dating for about a week.

I’ve known Jake as a friend for a year, and we hang out with the same group. I never had feelings for him until I learned that he liked me, and even then, my friends kind of pushed me into the relationship.

His last relationship didn’t last long, partly because he and the girl had sex right away. When Jake and I started dating, I told him I am a religious girl and am not going to do sexual things with him. Well, we went to prom together and back to his house afterward, where we were alone.

He started to put his hand up the back of my dress. I didn’t object because he was mostly stroking my back.

The next day, we went to his house to watch a movie, and he started jumping all over me. It made me uncomfortable, but I’m not good at communicating that, so I didn’t say anything. I just didn’t respond.

Jake is also a sloppy kisser, and I’m not sure I can tolerate that.

Today I realized that I have feelings for another guy, and now I don’t know whether I like him more than Jake. But if I break up with Jake, I will be booted out of our group, and I have no other friends.

I don’t know what to do. I feel that Jake is pressuring me a little about sex, even though he hasn’t actually demanded anything. Should I stay with him and see where it goes? Should I wait until summer to end it so that the group will have time to adjust without making things superawkward? Or should I just end things now and face losing my friends? -- Confused Girlfriend Dear Confused: You already know that you need to break up with Jake because you don’t actually like him and you feel pressured. We’d do it now, but if you would feel more comfortable waiting until school is out, that’s OK, too. You and Jake might be able to drift apart more naturally then. You might also confide in one of your friends that you and Jake don’t seem to be hitting it off as well as you thought. If your friends drop you over this, they aren’t truly friends. Real friends have your back.

Dear Annie: My girlfriend and I were planning to go away together for a weekend next month while her daughter was staying with the ex. But the ex decided at the last minute to take his own vacation, so we have to bring her along or cancel.

If we cancel the reservation on the hotel room, we lose the deposit, and upgrading to two rooms isn’t possible. Is it acceptable for us to sleep in the same bed while her daughter is sleeping on a cot, or should we use separate beds? Or should I try to get a room for myself elsewhere? -- N.Y. Dear N.Y.: How old is the girl? How long have you and Mom been together? If you and Mom are in a committed relationship, the girl knows you well and she is under the age of 6, you may share a room. Mom and the daughter should take the bed.

You get the cot. Otherwise, yes, please try to find another room for yourself. And thank you for caring enough to do the right thing.

Obituaries Dorothy Ileene Clark 1942 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2015

It is with extreme sorrow that the family of Dorothy Ileene Clark announce her passing on Sunday, May 17, 2015 at 72 years of age, a month short of her 73rd birthday, and a very special day, as it was both her sister Verna and grandson Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday.

Dorothy was born on June 21, 1942 to Wilf and Eileen Clemens of Pincher Creek, Alberta and was the second oldest of eight children. She was married to her loving husband Butch for 46 years before he was tragically taken from us in 2009.

Dorothyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest love was her family and especially her grandchildren. She was a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many and touched so many lives in such a positive and loving way. Many people will remember her from over the 20 years that she and Butch owned and operated the Petro Canada in Marysville and Jim Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mini Mart. She loved baseball and hockey and especially the road trips for Dylanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey where she cheered him and his team on and made many friends along the way. Dorothy will always be remembered for how hard she worked and how she gave so unselfishly to everyone she loved and cared for. She will also be remembered for the beautiful Christmas display that she did ever year. She was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandmaâ&#x20AC;? to every one of her grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends and absolutely loved it when they called her Grandma. Dorothy moved into her dream home/acreage in Gold Creek where she loved riding horses and gardening.

She had two beautiful gardens as well as her rock garden where she spent endless hours making the property look so beautiful and spending hours riding horses and swimming in her pool.

Dorothy is survived by her daughters Carmon (Regan) and Paula (Roy); grandchildren Kyle, Shayna, Cheyenne, Rylee and Dylan; brother Dave Clemens (Carol) and sisters Judy (Howard) Christiansen, Dave (Carol) Clemens, Diane (Don) Guilford, Verna (Randy) Marsh, Rhonda Shepansky and sister-in-law Pat Clemens plus numerous nieces and nephews. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Butch, parents Wilf and Eileen Clemens and brothers Wilf and Jack Clemens.

A celebration of Dorothyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at the Marysville Community Church on Friday, May 22, 2015 at 2:00 pm. Her interment will take place at a later date.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Walkers on parade during the 2014 Sam Steele Days in Cranbrook.

2015 Walk a Mile in Her Shoes underway For the Townsman

This year, once again, a group of men wearing red, high-heeled shoes will walk in the Sam Steele Days parade to raise money for the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre.

The men—23 of them have signed up so far—are busy collecting pledges as part of Cranbrook’s fourth annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes: The International March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault and Gender Violence.

“This is our main

yearly fundraiser,” said Melanie Gould, with the Friends of the Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre. “We’ve set a big, audacious goal of raising 20 thousand dollars.”

The fundraiser asks men to walk a mile (a 1.3-mile parade route, actually) wearing the shoes which are devilishly pointy at the toe and harrowingly narrow at the heel tip.

“We special-ordered the shoes,” Gould said.

“We’ve got them in sizes up to 16 for the taller

C R A N B RO O K ’ S

4

guys.”

Walk a Mile In Her Shoes started in 2001 in California, and has spread to many communities across North America. Proceeds from every walk must go to a community organization that works to reduce violence against women. The Cranbrook Women’s Resource Centre, under the auspices of Community Connections of Southeast BC, is just such an organization.

The Friends are now approaching businesses

TH

and organizations to sign up walkers as individuals and teams. So far, East Kootenay Community Credit Union, Mount Baker Secondary (staff and students) and Cranbrook Finning have signed up teams.

There is still ample time to register to walk and collect pledges. And there is always time to pledge to your favourite walker or to donate to the centre. To register or pledge online, visit www.FriendsoftheWomensCentre.com.
