be coming from as far as Australia and France to attend the reunion. There are others coming from places like Ottawa and Vancouver, as well as those that still live in Cranbrook. In the early days of the pageant it was held in the Armond Theatre. Candidates would have to change in the exit area. Later, local businesses offered space for the girls to change, and they had to run up and down the alley to get back to the theatre for their turn onstage. That was finally fixed when the Key City Theatre was built. This year the pageant will again be at the Key City Theatre.

1980, Janis Caldwell in 1984, Candace Nielson in 1987, Jen Schatschneider in 2003, Stephanie Hrisook in 2004, and Mary Schatschneider in 2006. Liz Schatschneider’s parent’s were Bud and Maxine Caldwell — Maxine was the daughter of Louie. They owned the Caldwell Agency. “That community spirit and involvement generated right down,” Karin Penner, who has been involved with the pagent from the start, said. “They were always involved in Sam Steele Days.” Things like the bank robbery continued for a number of years, with the robber usually Louie’s two sons. “Bud and Maxine and their entire staff would always build the biggest, most colourful, loudest float in the entire parade,” Penner said. “It would always end the parade because it was a block long or something like that.” Penner said to have 10 members of the same family participate is a great feat. “And every single one of them will be here for the reunion,” Penner said. Schatschneider said the pageant has never been a beauty or swimsuit pageant, but a more encompassing ambassador pageant. Part of that is the public speaking component. “You think about a lot of people’s worst nightmare is getting up and speaking in front of any size group, never mind 600 people at a theatre on the stage,” Schatschneider said. “Being able to do that is just so great for the kids.” Former Sweetheart youth ambassadors will

This year is a special one for the Sweethearts of Sam Steele, as they will be celebrating 50 years of the tradition. It will be a reunion of sorts and many former pageant participants will be returning to Cranbrook to celebrate the occasion. The Sweetheart Youth Ambassador Pageant takes place June 19, starting at 7:30 p.m. The Sweetheart Banquet and Ball takes place later that day from 6 p.m. Then on June 21, the Dress Up Tea Party with Sweethearts allows girls under 12 to come down to Rotary Park in their princess dress up clothing and have lemonade with the Sweethearts. There have been 408 participants through the years, and of those 140 or so will be in Cranbrook to mark this year’s Sam Steele Days, as well as attend the Sweethearts pageant. Out of those 140 past Sweethearts, 10 are from the same family and descended from one of the founding fathers of Sam Steele Days – Louie Holmes. In the early years of the festival it would be kicked off by Louie, sack of gold in hand, riding on the back of a donkey to the bank to make a deposit at the Bank of Montreal, which at the time was at the corner of Baker and 10th Avenue. Later that day, a gang would ride in on horseback and rob the bank of Louie’ hard earned gold. Louie would also ride alongside the Sweethearts, including Sophie Pierre, on the float as seen in a photo from 1967. That was the second year. The family’s direct participation in the pageant extends back to 1971, when Marilyn Nemisz took part in the pageant. From there it was Liz Schatschneider in 1974, Joanne Kitt in 1977, Cathy Nielson in

one loved it, it felt so much cozier, homier. It was great for the kids because the water park and the play park is right there. “…It was also nice for us to be central. You don’t happen to walk by the College by accident and say, ‘Oh, what’s happening here? Let’s check it out’. “So that was the biggest thing for us, is that we were able to be visible in the community, so that increased visibility—we believe—will only lead to increased participation moving forward.” Organizers also took advantage of the bandstand at Rotary Park and focused on featuring some of the youth talent, with many of the performers under the age of 18. The top fundraising team was One Little Ginger, which included Katey Norton, the honorary chair of the event, which raised about $10,000 alone. CanFor Kootenay claimed second place honours at $8,000 and RBC Royal Bank of Canada in third place with $7,000. Norton, who is a

Also on Saturday, a unique tattooing fundraising event was held at Sink N’ Ink Tattoos on 11th Avenue South, just down the block from Rotary Park. Three tattoo artists — Kya Dubois from Sink N’ Ink Tattoos, Char Brehm from Pin Up Ink, and Debbie Elliott from Black Door Tattoo — worked throughout the day offering flash and script tattoos for $50 with all proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society. A long line stetched down the street to take advantage of the offer, and at the end of the day the event had raised more than $2,000 for the CCS.

Trustees, MLA talk SD5 priorities Tre vor Cr awley

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett met with Trustees of School District 5 (SD5), Southeast Kootenay last week as part of the Board’s initiative to both keep the the elected representative up to date on district operations. The two-hour conversation covered topics such as the replacement of Mount Baker Secondary School and Project Heavy Duty and other challenges facing the district. Frank Lento, chair of the Board of Education, said the meeting was very productive and noted that Bennett was up to speed on the agenda items, which made for a serious conversation on priority issues. “It’s not always about

agreeing with one another, it’s about listening to one another and building upon the common ground we share and that’s what this meeting was about,” said Lento. “It was great, the dialogue we had was great. Bill’s a forthright guy, but he understands some of the challenges that face us and it was a good meeting.” There has been an effort underway to get Mount Baker replaced with a more modern building. “I believe we have a good working relationship with our MLA that goes back to my early days on the Board when the replacement of Mount Baker Secondary School became our District’s top replacement

priority,” said Trustee Chris Johns, the chair of the SD5 MBSS Replacement Committee. Lento added that there is no new update on the plan to replace the school. “He [Bennett] is going into meet with caucus and they have some special meetings that are going to take place here. He’s still very supportive of the replacement of Mount Baker,” said Lento. “He has been all along, but given the economics of the province and the priorities of where we are—he’s going to revisit with the ministry people and see where Mount Baker’s at.” Also on the agenda was the ongoing issue of education funding and

the newly legislated Bill 11. Bill 11 was carried into legislation on May 14th, 2015 and contains several amendments to the School Act, Teachers Act and Advanced Education Statutes Amendment Act. This legislation has been an issue of concern for School Boards, the BC Teacher’s Federation (BCTF) and the BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC) since it was first introduced to legislature on March 16th. “We raised issues that are of concern to us, things like the freeze on exempt staff salaries— our employees are CUPE and our teachers get increases, so our exempt people haven’t gotten an increase so

Byng applies to host teen dances, wedding receptions Arne Petryshen

The Byng Hotel may have plans to host teen dances and wedding receptions on a periodic basis at some point in the future. The establishment applied for a permanent change to its Food-Primary Licence to allow patron participation in

the restaurant and outdoor patio area. Cranbrook city council put its support behind the application at Monday night’s council meeting. The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch requires council’s approval of the request before processing the ap-

plication . City staff noted that Staff Sgt. Dave Dubnyk, from the local RCMP detachment, has discussed the issues around hosting teen dances with the applicant. The dances would not be permitted while alcohol was being served.

The city’s building inspector, Tracy McGuire, did an inspection of the establishment and supports the application. There was no discussion on the matter at the meeting. Mayor Lee Pratt and Coun. Wesly Graham were not in attendance.

that was a concern brought to him,” said Lento. “Of course, the protests of Bill 11, that was a concern, but it was a very amicable meeting. I think everybody felt it was a good discussion.” The Board also brought up the success of Project Heavy Duty, a program that is a partnership between SD5, College of the Rockies, WorkSafe BC and the local heavy equipment industry that provides Grade 12 students with hands on experience with various types of heavy equipment. The project has been running for a number of years in SD5 and complements the province’s focus on trades training. Lento says the Board and the MLA plan to meet again in the near future. “We believe it would be beneficial to keep in more regular contact, especially as we work to move forward with Mount Baker replacement.”

“I used to camp a great deal back in the Pleistocene, but this was because I was poverty stricken, and couldn’t even afford Motel 8.” George, 1999

arlier this spring, my grandson asked me if I’d like to go camping with him and his family. I demurred. I told him as politely as possible that I didn’t believe in camping out on purpose. It is too masochistic for me. To me, spending a night out in the bush — with critters, crawly bugs, and things that go bump in the night — is a sort of insanity. The only time that I camp out is because it is the only way that I can get to where I want to be. If I were to climb Everest or ski to the South Pole, for example, I’d plan to leave very early in the morning and so plan to return early to my bed. Tents are anathema to me. Besides, Dave Barry, that other columnist, tells me that it always rains on tents. Clouds will turn around and travel against the prevailing wind for miles in order to rain on tents. Aeons ago we planned to climb Mount Athabaska, up there in the National Parks. It looked like a long trudge over the glacier

so we took a tent, a couple of air-mattresses, and a small stove, then trudged up high with bulging packs. It took an eternity. There were four of us in that tent that night and we were trying to sleep across two mattresses and it wasn’t much fun. Each time one of us moved, the other three bounced about like corks. Cleverly, in order to save time and the amount of gas for the stove, we had boiled some eggs before we set off and those eggs gave me indigestion so bad that I thought, as we made the summit, I might be having a heart attack. I have grovelled in dank caves, squatted in squalid Peter barns, endeavoured to find Warland rest in the porches of abandoned chapels, and tied myself to a tree on a perilous slope of a mountain. I do not remember blissful slumber. We arose one morning in Scotland to find that our (relatively water-tight) tent had somehow moved itself into the middle of a small lake. We fled; the next day when we returned to rescue our refuge we found that, overnight, it had been blown to rags. I used to think that winter camping might be fun. After all, you’re not going to get rained on in mid-winter in Canada, are you? All it takes is a good fire consisting of

one dry 20-metre larch tree cut into suitable lengths, an endless supply of matches, several hundred spruce branches for a mattress, a great inflammable sleeping bag and a tarp to protect you from snow avalanching off other, plus another idiot to share the experience with you. Oh, and don’t forget to take your boots into your sleeping bag or you’ll not get them on in the morning, if you survive. So, even though I knew that my grandson and his ensemble would be ‘camping’ in a vehicle as big as my house. They’d have electronic devices to serve all of their comforts yet, if I recall, they’d be surrounded by other noisy ‘campers’, some of whom might actually sit outside by a fire, and to me it would have been a tad like Dante’s Inferno with bugs and very little sleep. I read recently about a woman who has a tent in which she sleeps (at home, I presume, safe from the elements) and attached is a machine that deprives her of oxygen so that she might adapt to higher altitudes. I am going to get one before I tackle Lakit Lookout again. In fact, I don’t intend to do anything energetic or inane before I have that apparatus installed. I am becoming more and more thoughtful about what I put my ancient body through. Camping out on purpose, for example. I’ve been there, done that and have several grubby T-shirts to prove it.

Who paid?

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

In April I received at both my office and my home a glossy colour printed newspaper size four page document entitled “Connection.” It featured seven pictures of yourself in various poses and with members of the community, two of Mr. Harper, and one of Mr. Mulcair with Mr. Trudeau. It outlined various tax cuts and benefits, as well as credits featuring especially those to family including a mock cheque to “Mom and Dad.” It specifically attacked “the NDP/Liberal scheme,” as opposed to the Conservative “plan.” This is clearly a partisan document. Could you please tell me whether this was paid for by the Conservative Party or through federal coffers? I look forward to hearing your reply. I am sure we all do. It would be better to hear from you directly than obtaining the answer through the Freedom of Information Act. That seems so confrontational and contrary to our inclinations as law-abiding taxpayers. B.E. Driedger Cranbrook

Marketing, or not

An Open Letter to Ron Robison, WHL Commissioner, and, Kootenay Ice Fans: Regarding the Thursday, June 4, 2015, Townsman interview “Robison: Ice Future in Cranbrook at critical stage.” Let me start off by saying I take great exception to the idea that the Kootenay Ice do not have community and corporate support! As an Ice billet family for 10 years and a season ticket holder for longer than that, it is my conclusion that what the Kootenay Ice Ownership lacks is a comprehensive marketing plan. Every year there are rumours about the team needing to move because of the attendance, but what real, sustained efforts have been made to get fans through the doors? Robison is correct when he says, “At the end of the day, it just comes down to the local support, from a ticket-sales and sponsorship standpoint, that will ultimately determine the fate of the franchise.” So to that end I challenge Mr. Robison to come to Cranbrook, to host an open community forum, roll up his sleeves and dig into the Ice marketing programs, the Ice sponsorship arrangements, and so on. What is the Kootenay Ice comprehensive marketing plan to improve attendance? I’m certain that the ownership must have a plan to present to the community, to their local fans. It can’t be in their best interests to continue to realize a reduction in their profit margin. So let’s get off of the pot, roll up our collective sleeves, Mr. Robison and Fans, convene a community-based meeting and let’s once and for all solve the annual Kootenay Ice future question. There are lots of smart, experienced hockey fans, many with extensive business experience that are more than ready and able to meet this challenge. Are you ready, Mr. Robison, to hear from the Ice fans of Cranbrook and surrounding area? Chris Johns Cranbrook

Ice marketing

Yesterday a gentleman came to the door asking us to support the Crimestoppers program through the purchase of one of their two for one promotion booklets. Glaringly absent from the list of

sponsors was the Kootenay Ice. What an awesome opportunity for the Ice to increase ticket sales at no cost to the hockey club. Any similar ideas are not rocket science, they just demand a little forethought and effort by the hockey club to promote itself. The Ice used to have an extremely successful program through the local schools. At the school where I taught, Amy Woodland Elementary, we were able several times throughout the season to sell a minimum of 200 $5 tickets to an Ice game. Other schools also enthusiastically took part in this promotion and a little life was often breathed into the Rec Plex courtesy of the large numbers of young fans in attendance. Unfortunately, this opportunity to sell tickets, while helping to create a younger fan base, seems to be greatly ignored these days. If this program could have been devised and promoted by one hockey-mad Ice fan, could it not be continued through the efforts of the salaried Ice staff? Also, several years ago I spoke to the management of one of the local food stores and was told that the store would have been happy to partner with the Ice, but the Ice had so many conditions involved with their participation in such a venture that the idea did not proceed. I resent the implication that if the Ice move it will be due a lack of community support. The real problem is that the management of the Ice make little effort to actively promote the club in the community. I think that if 100 season ticket holders were asked how to increase attendance at Ice games, they would probably generate 100 different viable suggestions. Why has nobody made use of this type of community-based brainstorming? Why doesn’t the management ever listen to the passionate hockey fans, many of whom have supported the team since its relocation to Cranbrook? When the Ice do move I will be able to look at myself in the mirror and say that I did all I could to maintain Whl hockey in Cranbrook. Will Ice management be able to do the same? I seriously doubt it. Rob Hogg Season Ticket Holder since day one Cranbrook

Community supports Kootenay Ice

Re: Ron Robison’s comments Thursday June 4; The Whl is the hockey league that the Kootenay Ice play in. They are the overseers of the teams that compete for the Championship Cup which is named after the former owner of the team. I find it very hard to blame the fans of the team for all the problems with the team. Where is this article going? Over the last five years we have been loyal ticket holders of the Ice and proud of it. We even travelled to Mississauga to watch our team play for the Memorial Cup. Maybe the league should look at some of the things rumoured to have gone on with this team. I use the word rumour since I don’t know all the facts, so I won’t blame any person directly. First, the team has been rumoured up for sale for a number of years. This doesn’t seem like a big confidence booster for getting solid backing for the existing team. Secondly, a large sponsor withdrew their backing due to a deal that went south for some reason. I feel the league should look into other

things like economic factors in the area, scheduling of games on week nights, etc. How about an equalization plan where the small markets can get extra revenue to do special nights, etc, like they did in the CFL, or the Federal Government’s plan with the have and have-not provinces. How can the Ice go up against Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton and Spokane, which have at least double our seating capacity. Why isn’t Swift Current being threatened also? Maybe Mr. Robison and the WHL should be looking at ways to help the Ice rather than threatening the fans of Cranbrook with a possible loss to the East Kootenay area of B.C. Shame on the WHL to treat the loyal fans of the Kootenay ICE with such disrespect. BJ Christie Cranbrook

Ron’s Collision

We seem to always complain when a business doesn’t live up to our customer service expectations so I think we should also share our stories when it is positive. I experienced a complicated situation with a vehicle and it was a extremely long, stressful, negative experience that never seemed to end, to make a long story short, the last stop of this complicated journey was with Ron’s Collision in Cranbrook. Luke and his team demonstrated their excellent customer service skills right from the start which included excellent listening skills and understanding as well as professional business ethics. What a joyful relief! This positive business experience working with Ron’s Collision Team and their Manager Luke, renewed my trust in the automotive field. Thanks Luke!

G7 Delivers

I applaud Stephen Harper for the statement ha made at the recent G7 Conference, acknowledging that the burning of fossil fuels will have to be seriously reduced and then eliminated. Harper’s statement is all the more amazing when we consider the practices of his government are functionally those of a “climate denier”. The good news is that with enough solid science and serious political pressure, even the most unlikely candidate will internalize the concept that the continued burning of fossil fuels will kill the planet, even if there is job creation in the process. What puzzles me about the G7 agreement is the need to extend the time frame by 50 years beyond the original proposal. As a global community and assuming that people understand we are living in the first stages of serious climate events, I can not appreciate the need, or the folly of thinking an additional 50 years is needed to affect the necessary change. The 50 year extended time frame also suggests the Climate problem may not be that serious after all and can be accommodated when we get around to it by the end of the century. Should anyone ask, I like the strategy of getting it done sooner, so we can then sit back and relax knowing that we rose to the occasion and dealt effectively with the problem. Ron Robinson Nelson

KIJHL AGM discussions cover broad range After deliberation, championship remains best-of-seven; expansion conversations; new 30-day suspensions for players refusing to report Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Osoyoos Coyotes hosted the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s annual general meeting this past weekend. According to Phil Iddon, vice-president of the KIJHL’s Eddie Mountain Division, discussions stretched from expansion to discipline and scheduling, leaving no shortage of interesting news coming out of the league’s annual gathering.

EXPANSION: Both Quesnel and Williams Lake have been home to BCHL Junior ‘A’ franchises over the course of time, but as it stands, both markets sit empty without any junior hockey to speak of. According to Iddon, that reality could change in the near future. Potential ownership groups in both Quesnel and Williams Lake have expressed interest in joining the KIJHL as expansion franchises in recent years, a topic which was discussed in length at the league AGM. “Those are prime markets that once supported Junior ‘A’ franchises and are much larger than the average-size market,” Iddon said. “The communities are much more diversified, much greater pop-

ulation bases. “They would be very strong markets and I think they will have some form of [junior] hockey up there, one way or another. Basically, they’re just on the outside edges [of the KIJHL’s geographical footprint]. “I think at least one of [Quesnel and Williams Lake] will apply for expansion status and to come into the league next year.” As it stands, the largest markets in the KIJHL exist in Spokane, Wash. (population of 208,916), Kelowna (117,312) and Kamloops (85,678). The smallest markets in the league exist in 100 Mile House (1,886), Sicamous (2,441), Chase (2,495), Princeton (2,724) and Invermere (2,955). Excluding the three largest markets, which all feature competing WHL franchises and/or BCHL franchises, the average market size in the KIJHL is approximately 5,156. Both Quesnel (10,007) and Williams Lake (10,832) come in well ahead of the leagues average market size. With both Quesnel and Williams Lake sitting on the edge of the current KIJHL geographical footprint, any potential expansion into either or both markets may bring about other

changes within the structure of the league. Iddon suggested the inclusion of either Quesnel or Williams Lake could result in a realignment of divisions within the league. The 100 Mile House Wranglers is the KIJHL’s most northern franchise and presents the nearest team to Williams Lake (approximately 95 km) and Quesnel (approximately 210 km). The KIJHL constitution states the minimum expansion fee is set at $150,000 at the discretion of the board of governors, though can be changed from time to time. The deadline to apply for a KIJHL expansion franchise is Dec. 1.

30-DAY SUSPENSION: The KIJHL has introduced a 30-day suspension for players traded and failing to report to their new team. “That’s a tough one, because you never want to see a kid not play,” Iddon said. “But what happens with texting, Internet, email and all that, there’s a whole lot that goes on behind the scenes in attracting players to a program. “Players have the ball in their court…It’s easy to attract kids in a prime market. “Right now, if [a play-

The KIJHL held its annual general meeting in Osoyoos this past weekend. er] says they don’t want to go somewhere [after being traded], we don’t really have any teeth that says the kid has to go there.” According to Iddon, the intent of this new disciplinary ruling is help protect small-market teams that often see players refusing to report and end up dealing said player in exchange for little to no return. It is expected that the KIJHL will propose this rule to B.C. Hockey as an item to be be adopted by all three B.C. Junior ‘B’ leagues (KIJHL, Pacific Junior Hockey League and Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League). “Some markets don’t even get a chance,” Iddon said. “The kid just says, ‘I’m not going. I’m going somewhere else.’”

CHAMPIONSHIP REMAINS BEST-OF-SEVEN:

Following the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup, conversation picked up regarding the length of

the KIJHL regular-season schedule and how many playoff games KIJHL teams play in comparison with other B.C. Junior ‘B’ leagues. While the issue was greatly debated, the voting membership of the KIJHL opted to keep the league championship a best-of-seven series. “Nobody plays as much hockey as the KIJHL does from Feb. 14 to April 1. It’s an insane schedule,” Iddon said. KIJHL clubs play a 52-game regular-season schedule, while VIJHL teams skate in 48 regular-season games and PJHL squads play a 44game schedule. The 20-team KIJHL sees 16 teams qualify for the post-season, creating four best-of-seven rounds of playoff hockey and up to 28 post-season games prior to the Cyclone Taylor Cup. The PJHL and VIJHL each qualify eight teams for their respective post-seasons, which feature three best-of-seven rounds (up to 21 games). This concerns KIJHL

coaches, managers and ownership, as the team representing the league at the provincial Junior ‘B’ championship is often on few days rest while having played a significantly greater number of games than the opponents it stands to face at the Cyclone Taylor Cup. There was debate amongst KIJHL executives and team representatives how to address the problem. Options discussed included making the first round (division semifinal) a best-of-five series, the championship round a best-of-five series or leaving the status quo. “Do you make the first round a best-offive? Then you penalize 16 teams that make the playoffs by giving them one less opportunity to draw [a home crowd] and make a few bucks,” Iddon said. “In the finals, only the two teams that make it there are sacrificing the opportunity to make the dollars and chances are that’s where the travel is greatest because you’re going cross-conference. The least teams have the possibility of suffering while the travel expenses were the highest.” At the end of the day, the 2016 Cyclone Taylor Cup, to be hosted in Victoria, was pushed back a week from where it was scheduled in 2015 and KIJHL clubs opted to maintain the same play-

off structure knowing there was set to be one extra week between the conclusion of the KIJHL championship and the opening of the provincial Junior ‘B’ tournament.

REVELSTOKE GRIZZLIES:

The Revelstoke Grizzlies have been accepted as a member in good standing after playing the 2014-15 KIJHL season under probation. Prior to the 2014-15 campaign, a new ownership group headed by Ryan Parent purchased the franchise from Lew Hendrickson. A oneyear probationary period exists for all new ownership groups. “The group has been vetted by the franchise committee, but they come on board and you’ve got to make sure everything is on the up and up,” Iddon said. “You’ve got to do a little digging otherwise sometimes you find out they’re not as smooth an operator. “It’s a standard procedure. Every time there is a majority change in ownership or relocation or a new franchise, they have to operate on the up and up for that first year in order to get through the probationary period.”

Veteran goaltender traded for future considerations Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters have traded goaltender Brody Nelson (1995) to the Revelstoke Grizzlies in exchange for future considerations. Nelson, a native of Invermere, split the 201415 KIJHL season between the Columbia Valley Rockies, Kamloops Storm and Dynamiters. The Nitros acquired the 6-foot-1 puckstopper from the Storm in exchange for future considerations Jan. 9, 2015. The soft-spoken netminder provided a veter-

an presence in relief of starter Tyson Brouwer. In six games with the Nitros, Nelson went 6-0-0 with a 2.00 goals-against average (GAA) and .925 save percentage (SP).

Over the entire 201415 KIJHL season, Nelson went 13-16-0 with two shutouts, a 3.23 GAA and .893 SP. Nelson is a veteran of three KIJHL seasons,

largely spent with the Columbia Valley Rockies, with a career mark of 31-45-3 with two shutouts, a 3.71 GAA and .892 SP. KIJHL Notes: The Osoyoos Coyotes traded forward Bailey Shaver (1996) to the Sicamous Eagles in exchange for forward Scott Robinson (1997) late Monday. In 22 games last season, Shaver posted three goals and seven points. Robinson skated in 40 games with the Eagles, tallying one goal and seven points.

KIJHL AGM brings plenty to table Continued from page 8 According to Iddon, the Grizzlies operated under new ownership as expected by league powers and were accepted as members in good standing as a result. Good standing is determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to: paying league dues on deadline, paying on-ice officials according to proper procedure and having all staff certified and accredited appropriately.

SCHEDULING:

“Once you recruit kids, the most important thing for each franchise, for

their financial viability, is the schedule,” Iddon said. “A lot of time was put into the schedule. “It looks like everyone has a pretty balanced schedule, so that was very, very important.” With a tentative draft of the 2015-16 KIJHL schedule in the hands of individual team executives and managers, the final schedule is not expected to be made public anytime soon as tweaks and adjustments are made. According to Iddon, it could be two to four weeks before the final 2015-16 KIJHL schedule is released.

Blue Jays knock off Marlins in MLB action Dhiren Mahiban Canadian Press

TORONTO - The Blue Jays twice hit back-to-back home runs and rookie starter Scott Copeland took care of the rest as Toronto extended its win streak to a season-high eight games with a 7-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday afternoon. Justin Smoak and Russell Martin hit back-to-back homers in the fourth while Jose Reyes and Josh Donaldson went deep in the seventh as the Blue Jays swept their second consecutive series. Toronto (31-30) is now one game above .500 for the first time since May 9. Copeland (1-0), who was making a spot start in place of Aaron Sanchez, went seven innings, allowing one

earned run on six hits while striking out seven. Wednesday was the righthander’s first career major league start. The loss drops Miami (24-36) to 3-6 during interleague play this season. Marlins starter Tom Koehler (4-4), who was making his first career start against the Blue Jays, allowed six earned runs on eight hits while striking out seven in 6 2/3 innings of work. Miami got on the board in the fifth when Ichiro Suzuki tripled to centre, scoring Jeff Mathis. Reyes took Koehler out of the park in the seventh for his second home run of the season and Donaldson followed up with his 17th of the season. Marcel Ozuna accounted for the other Marlins run, taking Jays reliever Brett Cecil deep in the ninth.

For The Townsman

From an elite event of standard distance the Wasa Triathlon, in the Kootenays of B.C., has transformed into one of the most family friendly festival weekends in Western Canada. The event has grown over the last 20 years from 90 competitors to over 1,000 participants with nearly one quarter being young triathletes aged between four to 15 years old. “The event attracts families from all over B.C., Alberta and North West USA. The growth in recent years has been led by the number of young triathletes coming with their families,” said race director Charlie Cooper. “We are proud to cater for all ages with the first event day being dedicated to support our younger competitors”. On Saturday, June 13, the Trikids Triathlon will again see a large group of smiley kids crossing the finish line for a wellearned medal. Cooper said all young competitors will get to enjoy the same race experience as the adults: professional announcer Steve King, loads of volunteer support, drink stations, electronic timing, the exciting finish chute lined up with spectators, a catered lunch and a groovy t-shirt. “We want these young triathletes to love

the sport, experience the competition, but above all, it’s about participation and having a fun weekend with the family,” Cooper said. Many Albertan families use the Wasa triathlon as a camping weekend, enjoying the long summer mountain days and impressive setting. For moms and dads there is some serious racing to be had on the Sunday with the sprint and standard distances both for individual and relay teams.

The scenic shores of Wasa Lake attract amateurs and elite triathletes to compete in this swim-bike-run event. First-timers in the sport also target this event as a must-do to kick off their season. It’s not only the picturesque mountain scenery and pure air that attracts competitors according to Cooper. The prize money is good as well, with $4,300 to be awarded to the top five finishers in the women and men categories.

The quality of the competition every year makes Wasa’s standard course one of the most competitive and fastest. All TriKids receive some good orienteering and preparation to make it a fun, memorable and safe experience. Many parents report young ones sleeping with their medals and proudly wearing their Wasa event shirt to school. Registration at www. rmevents.com closes June 11 for TriKids.

Canada prepares for New Zealand at Women’s World Cup Neil Davidson Canadian Press

EDMONTON - A confident John Herdman dissected New Zealand’s tactics at his pre-game news conference Wednesday at the Women’s World Cup. The Canadian coach made it clear he does not expect the Football Ferns to bring anything new to the table Thursday. “Very clearly, we’re a better team ... And I think quality for quality, we’re a better team than New Zealand,” said Herdman. “And if we connect and we connect like we did against China for periods and we improve

on some things and we live the game plan, Canada should win this game. I said this right from the onset, we should win this group.” Winning the group means less travel and avoiding other group winners until deeper into the 24-team tournament. Canada, ranked eighth in the world, is coming off a 1-0 win over No. 16 China while No. 17 New Zealand was beaten 1-0 by the 12thranked Netherlands in the other opening Group A match. Herdman is no stranger to the Kiwis. He used to coach them and current head coach

Tony Readings is his former assistant. “The fact that we’re playing against a coach that used to be in charge of this team doesn’t really change too much for us,” Readings said. “To be honest as a team, we haven’t really spoken about John at all,” added midfielder Annalie Longo. Asked about Herdman’s comments on the New Zealand tactics, Readings said other people’s opinions were “completely irrelevant.” The closest thing to a broadside sent back in Herdman’s direction was Readings’ comment that the New Zealand squad has more depth

than ever. Herdman called New Zealand a stiff test but then went into detail on how they can be overcome. For the Canadian coach, if the Kiwis aren’t a one-trick pony, they’re a two-trick pony. And Canada can beat them, as long as it doesn’t help New Zealand by making mistakes, something Herdman called providing “loaded guns.” Herdman says his team has New Zealand down pat after scouting them the last two years. “We trailed them around the world.” “The reality is we know what they’re going to throw at us now.”

Healthy eats for summer family camping trips Simone Jennings

With summer upon us the itch to get outdoors becomes difficult to ignore. Our family likes to make time each summer for a few camping trips. Since we have a toddler I like to make sure we are organized with food. I plan simple meals and prepare food before we go. I try to use certain foods in multiple meals and snacks, such as cheese, yogurt, and bread, to save space in the cooler. Of course we also pack less healthy snacks for around the fire, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores or passing around a bag of chips. But, like at home, I think it is important that most of our food be nutritious. Here are some foods that are often found in our camping cooler: Prepare in advance: â&#x20AC;˘ Make and freeze whole grain muffins, pancakes, or loaves. â&#x20AC;˘ Pre-measure bags of rolled oats with nuts, seeds and dried fruit to cook on the camp stove. â&#x20AC;˘ Hard boil eggs for protein at breakfast or lunch. â&#x20AC;˘Cook rice, quinoa or pasta the night before you leave and

Thursday, JUNE 11, 2015 Page 11

have it in the first couple of days. â&#x20AC;˘ Make and freeze chili and/or pasta sauce.

Survivor of Johnson’s Landing landslides tours memoir in Cranbrook FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Leading up to the third anniversary (July 12 & 13) of the tragic 2012 landslides in Johnson’s Landing, author Amanda Bath is touring with her new memoir, Disaster in Paradise: The Landslides in Johnson’s Landing (Harbour Publishing). Bath will be giving talks and presentations throughout the Kootenays to commemorate

what the community lost and to help all British Columbians learn how to read the signs of an oncoming natural disaster. Join Bath for a presentation and book signing at Lotus Books (33 10th Ave. S., Cranbrook) on Wednesday, June 24 at 7 pm. Admission is free. Disaster in Paradise is the first book about the 2012 Johnson’s Landing

landslides — two natural disasters that devastated the picturesque Kootenay Lake community. Amanda Bath’s house was flattened by the first slide only an hour after she left the area, and when she returned less than 24 hours later to try to rescue her cat, she had less than a minute of warning before a second landslide completely buried what remained of her home.

Amanda’s escape from the second landslide was caught on video by a news crew who had left the same beach minutes earlier and the footage went viral on YouTube. The process of writing Disaster in Paradise was like therapy for Bath, carrying her through the painful months that followed. Disaster in Paradise is the story of Bath’s trauma and healing, but it is also the story of a community as it joined together to mourn and gradually rebuild in the wake of tragedy. In total, the landslides destroyed six homes and killed four people: Valentine Webber, aged 60; his daughters, 22-year-old Diana

AMANDA BATH and 17-year-old Rachel; and 64-year-old Petra Frehse. The book is both a chronicle of a BC tragedy

and a warning for the future. With the increasing effects of climate change, disasters like this could easily happen again, and

governments need to be prepared; British Columbians need to know the signs. Amanda Bath was born and raised in England, and lived in London before moving to the tiny community of Johnson’s Landing in 1993. She holds a PhD in Catalan Literature and worked in human rights research for Amnesty International for a decade. Because her home in Johnson’s Landing was destroyed by the 2012 landslides, she now lives in Kaslo, BC, with her husband Christopher Klassen. This is her first book. For more information about this event, please contact Lotus Books at 250-426-3415.

LUCID SCREAM (pictured in hair-flying action above) are rapidly carving a strong name for themselves as one of the most exciting and energetic young hard-rock bands in Calgary’s current scene. It’s a refreshing gust of rocknroll air to find young bands moving away from the boring shoegazing indulgences of the tiring-out indie/hipster scene and reclaiming power chords and yeah-yeah-yeahs for their very own. Hustle your buns down to the legendary Byng Roadhouse in Downtown Cranbrook this Friday June 12 and see for yourself. Showtime 9 pm; free admission for one and all.

OTA’s versus the live travel agent

Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel writes of the value in a live travel agent, and developing a long term relationship with one OTA. Online Travel Agent. There are thousands of them. Or so you would think, right? Well, yes, there are many, many travel providers, and we all have our favourites. But did you know that most of them are owned by the same companies? I did some research to see if there were really that many choices out there, and found out there are mainly just two. Travelocity, Orbitz, Hotwire, Trivago, hotels.com, Classic Vacations, CruiseShipCenters, and Trip Advisor — all owned by Expedia! The revenue last year from

these online travel agencies — a whopping $6.7 billion. Expedia operates 100 brands in 60 countries. The original owner of Expedia was Microsoft. But guess what, Priceline beats that! Their companies include booking.com, agoda.com, Kayak, rentalcars.com and OpenTable. Priceline operates in 200 countries (that’s almost the number of countries in the world). Revenue last year $8.1 billion. Even small OTA’s like Cheapoair recorded $3.2 Billion in revenue last year. A new Canadian company

based out of Ontario is FlightHub. And the list goes on. So what’s my point? The point is there is lots of money being spent on travel. And there are many online travel agencies ready to take your money. I’m not saying they are not trustworthy or good. They certainly are convenient and have amazing booking engines. As travel agents, we use them too, mainly for research and to price check our own products against online products. And happily, we are usually the same price when comparing ap-

ples to apples. But, there is still great value in a live travel agent, and developing a long term relationship with one will get you what you want, at the price you want, in much less time, with fewer problems overall. Borrowing from ACTA (Association of Canadian Travel Agents), of which our agency and most others are members, are the 5 reasons why you should use a live travel agent: 1. Expert Advice – We’ve likely been there, or know a colleague who has. That’s real travel advice. 2. Personal Attention -

The little things matter to us. Do you have special needs? Do you want a tip on a great new restaurant, or the cheapest way to get from the airport to your hotel? 3. Peace of mind – You can call us. If you change your mind, if there’s an emergency, we’re there. 4. Convenience and time savings – You can surf all night, read every trip advisor report, or you can make one call. Email us in the middle of the night if that’s your thing. We’ll get on it quickly. 5. Trust – We are not anonymous, you can track us down if you need to, we

are your friends and neighbours. We care that your trip is as perfect as we can make it. So enjoy the travel offers on the internet and all the beautiful photos, videos, descriptions and advice that you can gain from the OTA’s. Then call your local travel agent and get some personal advice, some competitive pricing, and find out why we haven’t disappeared and aren’t likely to anytime soon. Submitted by Carla Nelson, Branch Manager and LIVE Travel Agent at Maritime Travel in Cranbrook.

College of the Rockies student project helps local business Submit ted

College of the Rockies Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) student Ashley Tanner was instrumental in helping a local business transition to a paperless client records system. To complete the sustainability requirements of her degree, Tanner needed to find an industry partner to work with on a research project.

She chose Hryciuk Gallinger Certified General Accountants. “The timing was great for us,” says Bruce Hryciuk. “We had been wanting to transition to a paperless system for a long time. Working with Ashley was the kick-start we needed to get us on that road.” Through interviews, questionnaires and data collection, Tanner was

able to determine the financial, psychological and ethical implications and benefits of the CGA firm moving to a paperless system. Though Hryciuk Gallinger was utilizing recycled paper, she found that the environmental and financial benefits of shifting to an online system were significant with very little downside. Tanner was then able

to identify and research a document management software option that Hryciuk Gallinger was interested in. They have taken the first steps to implement the new software and hope to be fully utilizing it this summer. “I learned so much about sustainability in the BBA program. It has affected me on a personal and professional level

Kootenay Concert Connection in association with the Key City Theatre presents...

and will affect my decision making in the future,” says Tanner. “I’m thrilled to see Hryciuk Gallinger implementing a paperless system and achieving their goal of becoming more sustainable.” Tanner, who graduated from the BBA program at the College’s May 29 commencement ceremony, has an interest in seeing advancements in the accounting industry as she is currently working toward becoming a Certified General Accountant.

Training a Highly Skilled Canadian Workforce • Our Government’s top priority is creating jobs and economic growth. • While Canada has one of the best job records in the G7, too many Canadians are still looking for work or are underemployed. An increasing number of jobs in Canada are going unfilled due to a lack of people with the matching skills. • Our Government will continue to implement measures that create jobs and fill the demand for skills development and foster healthy and dynamic workplaces. • Economic Action Plan 2015 expands on our Government’s strong record by: • Extending the Current Employment

Insurance (EI) Working While on Claim Pilot Project to 2016

• Enhancing Labour Market

Information for Canadians, including the launch of a new one-stop national labour market information portal. This mitigates labour shortages and efficiently matches Canadian workers with jobs.

• Encouraging Journeypersons

to Start or Expand Their Own Businesses by Promoting Blue Seal Certification which will increase the number of apprenticeship positions and promote entrepreneurship for tradespeople.

• Removing Financial Barriers to

Foreign Credential Recognition by making the Foreign Credential Recognition Loans Pilot Project permanent.

• Investing in Aboriginal Labour

Market Programming in order to foster a strong and diverse workforce, with Aboriginal Canadians in highdemand sectors of the economy.

What a sight … The accordion pleated dry goods window of Reid & Co., has been the center of attraction for the ladies of Cranbrook this week. Nothing so neat has been seen in Cranbrook before. The bottom of the accordion is fixed up in high art style with a photo of “Hutch.” We said the window was the center of attraction for the ladies!

He was down at the big corral in the Baker pasture looking on while Harry Fairfield and others were trying to catch an outlaw cayuse. They had driven the horses into the corral and were walking them up into the corner by means of a long pole, when one of the horses swung around and in an attempt to jump the pole struck it with great force, knocking Harry Fairfield over and stunning him, while the end of the pole swung and hit Colon over the ear, causing concussion of the brain.

It was hardly to be expected that it would but it certainty came very close to it, the score showing but 13 runs in favor of the old countrymen. The game was a most enjoyable one and the day perfect cricket weather. Cloudless sky, clear light and hot sun, tempered by cool breezes — all conditions under which cricket is enjoyable — were present. To the spectators, possibly, especially those not understanding the fine points, the game was slow, but there were lively moment, notably “Baldy” Morris’ fine slide to safety in the first innings of the colonial team. That player gave a fine all around exhibition of cricket, hitting vigorously, running judiciously and bowling with great success. He was away the best player on the ground, his bowling and batting being of great assistance to his side. Few errors were made on either side and van- the only chances lost were hard ones. Taken all in all it was a good display of England’s national game and it is to be hoped the beginning of further exhibitions of this pastime.

Michel visited by fire … The growing young town of Michel, a coal mining center a few miles east of Fernie, was almost completely wiped out by fire Monday afternoon. From the meagre information obtainable at this time, it appears that the fire originated in the flat across the river from the town, where ground was being cleared for the erection of new cottages by the coal company, and spread from that point on up the river, crossed, and then burned down the opposite side to the residence portion. In a very short time, and before the citizens of the town were aware that the fire had reached their side of the river, a house on the outskirts of the town was in flames, and although heroic efforts were made without avail to stop the flames at this point, the fire was rapidly communicated to the more thickly populated portion of the town, and before the flames were finally extinguished, 24 houses were burned to the ground. The buildings were all frame structures, built closely together, and several narrow escapes from loss of life are reported, while in numerous instances the inmates escaped without even sufficient clothing. Mrs. John Fraser, who came to Cranbrook the next day, and whose husband has charge of the company store at Michel, in speaking of the fire, said that their house was one of the first to go, and that they lost everything, as Mr. Fraser’s store contained a vast amount of explosives, which it was necessary to bury, and he could devote no lime to the saving of his own property. The immense new tipple just completed by the coal company, although in a blaze in several places, was saved after much hard work, and the C. P. R station owes the existence today to one of the locomotives which threw a continuous stream of water on the building. The saving of the depot was the direct means of saving a number of residences, which are clustered around it. The women and children whose homes were destroyed by the fire, are being cared for by their more fortunate neighbors, while the men are living in cars furnished by the railway company. Most of the buildings destroyed were the property of the coal company, and the loss, which will be considerable, is not known at this time.

Biologist digs into bighorn sheep migratory behaviour BREANNE MASSEY Columbia Valley Pioneer

The bighorn sheep may begin to shift their migratory direction away from Radium and back into the elements with some help. The Village of Radium Hot Springs recently received a $10,000 grant from the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation (HCTF) to develop a strategy to encourage bighorn sheep migration outside of the community to reinforce spring migratory behaviour of bighorn sheep — a project that has been underway since earlier this year. “The HCTF funding will be used exclusively for development of a management strategy, which will discuss options, including translocation as an alternative to aversive conditioning,” said Mark Read, Village of Radium Hot Springs chief administrative officer. “The Border Collie pilot portion of the project is being

undertaken with Columbia Basin Trust funding.” The action to research migration and push the bighorn sheep back into the mountains with Border Collies was developed when some of the bighorn sheep chose to avoid migrating or returned to winter ranges such as golf courses and lawns within the Village of Radium. It is suspected these options may have been adopted by the bighorn sheep to avoid predators. But ultimately the shift has caused some concerns around the village. “The behaviour of remaining on low elevation winter ranges all year is unnatural and unhealthy,” Mr. Read said. “The loss of migratory behaviour raises conservation and safety concerns for biologists and local residents. “It can lead to increased disease transmission potential, in-

creased damage to low elevation habitats by overgrazing, increased vehicle collisions and increased potential for human conflicts. It is important to keep bighorn sheep as wild as possible so that they do not lose their migratory knowledge and behaviour.” While the goal of the project depends on developing a strategy to correct the path of bighorn sheep migration, Mr. Read anticipates the contracted biologist will have a plan in place for council to review by the end of summer. “It is possible that we will explore capturing and moving non-migrating bighorn sheep into natural high elevation summer ranges. We would identify the summer ranges by using data obtained by Parks Canada. “This type of activity would likely involve GPS radio-collars to monitor capture/transport mortality and heli-

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have a major concern that starts your day. Remain optimistic. People will change their tune throughout the day. You could get a problem resolved, but perhaps not in the way you thought you would. Tonight: Curb a need to be right when in a lively discussion. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You seem to be on information overload. You might want to weigh the pros and cons of a money matter. An unexpected event could force you to rethink your decision. You will be a lot happier if you relax. Tonight: New information comes forward. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Though you could be perturbed by a partner’s or loved one’s decision, you’ll feel much better once you give it some time to set in. Emphasize solutions rather than problems, and you will find that you can jump over a major hurdle! Tonight: Let the good times roll.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be more worried about a situation than you previously had thought. Today you will feel as if you are willing to take a stand and move forward. You will need to have a discussion with a partner about a problem that is close to the surface. Tonight: A force to behold. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be tired from the confusion surrounding your friends. You might not be able to sort through all the issues right now, but at least one matter is likely to fix itself by the end of the day. Don’t let a friend’s temper get to you. Tonight: Where the action is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to express your confidence in a partner whom you have some financial involvement with. Keep certain feelings to yourself for now, especially if a discussion is related to other matters. Don’t allow others to trigger your temper. Tonight: Out with a favorite person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You could be tired and feeling as if you have had enough. You’ll see a situation differently if you can relax. Don’t be so rigid in a conversation. Perhaps you need to take a walk before you meet up with friends. You will clear up a problem. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) All work and no play won’t be fun, but it could result in an exciting opportunity. Clear up as much as you can now, so that when the chance to be more playful and relaxed appears, you can jump on it. A little organization will go a long way. Tonight: Finish your errands quickly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You finally might be moving past a problem with a close loved one. You know what is happening, and you’ll be able to make it through what previously was a web of hassles. Don’t worry; you will see the issues drop away soon. Tonight: Add naughtiness to your plans. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be tempted to toss a problem to the wind. Hold

off just a little while longer. You could be more negative than usual. Give yourself some time and some perspective. As a result, you are likely to witness how quickly issues vanish. Tonight: Let your hair down. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be careful about what words you choose to tell someone that you have had enough. You might be best off just saying nothing for now. By exercising patience, you are likely to experience a much more pleasant interaction. Tonight: Join friends at a favorite haunt. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be aware of the costs of proceeding in the way you have been. Someone around you, who is involved in your personal life, might have quite a temper. Be aware of what could come out if you push this person too hard. Try to stay calm. Tonight: Mosey on home.

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am confused about how to handle my husband’s ex-girlfriend, who shows up at his family funerals and stays three hours at the visitation hanging with my husband and reminiscing about the past. They discuss things out loud with no respect for me. This woman is married, but never comes to these gatherings with her husband. And my husband still does her taxes, even though I told him he shouldn’t. He’s opening the door to trouble. I do trust my husband, but not her. She definitely is still attracted to him, and it shows. Is her behavior normal, or should I tell her at the next funeral to pay her respects and leave? -- Not Jealous, Just Hurt Dear Not: Please don’t let your insecurities cause you to overreact. If you trust your husband, it doesn’t matter what his ex-girlfriend does. And how often does the family have funerals that you need to worry about this? We agree that she is being inappropriately flirtatious, but it is only a big deal if your husband responds in a similar fashion. We suggest you chummy up to this ex-girlfriend at these events. It will totally baffle her, greatly impress your husband and make her less of a threat to you. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Expecting Mom in the Midwest,” who asked for a response when rude people ask, “Was it planned?” You suggested, “Why do you need to know?” I think a good answer would be, “Of course! God planned it!” I love your column. -- Bossier City, La. Dear Bossier City: Your response was by far the most popular one we received. We appreciate all who sent in their personal preferences. Here are a few samples: From Pat: Your response was masterful. Another retort (not original to me) would be: “If people ask you, tell them you don’t know.” And a gentler response: “I’m hurt by your question.” El Paso: In my opinion, a better answer to this question is: “Well, I guess that’s really between my husband and me. Don’t you agree?” R.: I would simply say, “Yes, it was planned, but if we plan another, should we inform you first?” There seem to be more ignorant and stupid people in today’s world, and they have no filters between their brains and mouths. P.: When asked, “Was this pregnancy planned,” I would say, “I give up. Was it?” I have used this more times than I can say, and it always works. Mother of Twins: I would simply ask, “Were you?” Tyler, Texas: Someone could reply, “It was more planned than the question you just asked!” Salisbury, Pa.: I’ve found this response works: “Why in the world would you ask such a personal question? It’s rude, and you’re normally not a rude person. Are you feeling OK?” Whenever you end with a question, the other person feels compelled to answer. So throw it back in their court, and watch ‘em squirm. They deserve a little squirming. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Kathy Allison photo

So a horse pulled up to the Dairy Queen drive-through window and the attendent said, “Hey, why the long face?” The seasonal heat wave may be getting under your hide, but a trip to the ice cream joints in town will make you say “neigh!” Kathy Allison came across this western sight at the Dairy Queen drive-through in Cranbrook.

We all want a solid financial rock under our feet when we retire. The problem is… it can be hard to save for retirement, especially if you are struggling to pay a mortgage, car loan and credit card debt. The solution? Roll it up. You may be able to roll your existing high interest debt into your mortgage. You’ll be shocked by what you can save in interest. •

Let’s say you now have a $175,000 mortgage, a $25,000 car loan and $25,000 in credit cards. That’s a total debt load of $225,000. As long as you’ve got the equity in your home, you can roll that debt into a new $233,000 mortgage (that includes a charge to break the existing mortgage: a fee that is often well worth the savings) and you could knock about $921 OFF your total monthly debt payment. That’s huge.

Here’s where you can start building your financial rock: •

Talk to us about adding an additional $25,000 to your mortgage so you can make an RRSP contribution (assuming you have contribution room). Even with the extra amount on your mortgage, your new monthly payment is STILL $803 per month less. Better still, you’ll be eligible for a $10,000 tax refund for your contribution (assuming a 40% marginal tax bracket).

Now that you’ve got a lower monthly payment and maybe a tax refund, see if you can put some of that extra money against your mortgage principal or into an RESP or TFSA. Roll up your debt. Build your financial rock for retirement.

That’s rock and roll, baby!

Proposed RV Resort sparks concern in Canal Flats KE VIN NIMMOCK Invermere Valley Echo

A rezoning application took centre stage at the Columbia Discovery Centre on June 1st. The Village of Canal Flats hosted a public hearing at which approximately 70 community members voiced their concerns about a plan proposed by Benny Boyz Ventures. The plan is to rezone land in Canal Flats to create a seasonal RV resort in the village. The resort would be maintained and operated by Bighorn Estates, who own Bighorn Meadows Resort in Radium. During the meeting, a petition signed by over 400 community members was presented to council to voice disdain for the project. In addition, attendees were given the chance to officially register approval or disproval for the project through short statements. “Everyone had a chance to have their say

COURTESY JENNA RAY

A crowd of about 70 attended the Columbia Discovery Centre in Canal Flats to voice concerns about a rezoning application. The plan is to rezone land in Canal Flats to create a seasonal RV resort in the village. and I felt, although it was an emotional issue, everyone behaved in a respectful manner,” said Canal Flats mayor Ute Juras. Villagers expressed concerns with several parts of the proposed rezoning bylaw, including safety and environmental risks. Some community members feared the influx of temporary residents in the area would lead to more dangerous

roads in the village. There would be 151 lots in the resort, and lot residents would sign leases for a minimum of 90 days. This means that, during peak times, there could be approximately 600 extra people in the village. The assertion from many residents is that RV resort users will be more likely to drink heavily and will be less likely to conduct themselves safely around

Canal Flats. Richard Haworth, the agent for Benny Boyz, countered this point by reminding attendees the resort will target upscale clientele, who will possibly become invested in Canal Flats through long-term leases. “The quality of the clientele you get is based on the cost of the lease in some ways,” Mr. Haworth said. “We can’t control who leases, but we will have strong rules

on the site, which must be followed.” Mr. Haworth said in other communities that have adopted RV resorts there have been minimal safety problems. He cited examples in Radium and Fairmont. Environmental concerns for the RV resort focused on the village’s boat launch and Columbia Lake. Many residents said the effect of 151 more boats in the area could be disas-

trous. Canal Flats resident Dennis Hoobanoff said he could not support the proposed plan because sufficient environmental studies had not yet been done. Typically, many of the more specific environmental studies on particular effects of new resorts are completed later on in the rezoning process. “We are on the verge of losing our Canal Flats,” Mr. Hoobanoff

said. “Nature is what sets us apart.” In response, Ms. Juras reassured Mr. Hoobanoff and other community members that the village is very concerned with protecting Canal Flats’ most valuable resources. “We always have water and the boat launch in the back of our minds,” Ms. Juras said. Near the end of the meeting, two community members stated their approval of the bylaw, explaining the village needs something to jumpstart its economy. The residents referenced the 81 recent layoffs at the Canfor mill in Canal Flats. Canal Flats council will make a decision on the rezoning bylaw during an upcoming regular meeting on June 22nd. The council will be able to choose to either pass the bylaw, fail it or request changes, at which point there would be another public hearing.

Olivia Marie McClure

We are all at peace knowing Mom has won her battle with dementia and has found her memories once again! At the age of nine, Alma moved from her birthplace of Marceline, Saskatchewan with her parents Joe and Colette Sanche and her siblings to settle in Kimberley. Here she met and married Keith where they raised their five children. Alma enjoyed knitting, crocheting and gardening. All of the family were supplied with her hand towels and dishcloths for many years. In her later years she enjoyed travelling with Bill and they did many trips together. Alma was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Keith; sisters Irene and Muriel and in-laws, Linda, Mary, Wally and Nils. Alma is survived by her children Deb (Bill), Denise (Wink), Kevin (Dorothy), Shane (Marilyn) and Jim (Joanne), 13 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Also her special friend, Bill Goudie (Sean and Lezlie and families); sisters Lillian Nordby and Annette Shumanski and brothers Gabe (Donna), Ray (Lynda) and Dale (Gayle). The family would like to thank Dr. DuPreez and the wonderful staff of The Pines for their care and love! A Luncheon Celebration will be held on Friday, June 26, 2015 from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm at 442 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 301st Street, Marysville, BC.

mart newspapers today recognize they can run a very proď&#x192;&#x17E;table business by providing relevant, entertaining and innovative ideas and content. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not miss the point, eitherâ&#x20AC;?, says Bill McDonald, group publisher of Metro English Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not changing. The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no other medium with that kind of reach in one day.â&#x20AC;? In fact, threequarters of Canadians (13.9 million) read a printed edition of daily newspaper each week, according to NADbank readership data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change one crucial factâ&#x20AC;?, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daily newspapers offer the same beneď&#x192;&#x17E;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. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a set of qualities very few other media can match.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Major pubishers and media buyers agreeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; strong readership ď&#x192;&#x17E;gures are testament to improved product.

Planetary Society’s solar-sail test a success in space Marcia Dunn Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - An experimental solar sail is being called a success three weeks after its arrival in space. The Planetary Society said Wednesday its test flight resulted in an almost full deployment of the sail - an estimated 90 per cent to 95 per cent of the 344-square feet (32 sq. meters) light and shiny surface - and has set the stage for a follow-up mission next year. The goal is to create a sail that can be propelled through space by sunlight, thus opening exploration to practically anyone, anywhere. “Solar sailing is worth doing because it has the potential to democratize space,” said the society’s chief executive officer, Bill Nye, more commonly known as Bill Nye the Science Guy. Small organizations will be able to build solar sails and send spacecraft to “almost any destination in the solar system if you have time. You can get there because you never run out of fuel. The sun shines all the time.” Spacecraft using solar sails could be used to chase asteroids and comets, or observe the sun’s violent storms.

“There really isn’t much of a limit on what you can do in the solar system,” Nye told reporters, “and this LightSail test flight is the first small step on that long journey.” The Mylar sail for the current LightSail spacecraft is bigger that many living rooms - 344 square feet (32 sq. meters) when stretched flat. It was folded into a little boxy spacecraft for its May 20 launch from Cape Canaveral, hitchhiking on a secretive Air Force space plane mission. For days, the LightSail team struggled with a series of vexing software problems with the spacecraft once it reached orbit. The sail finally opened Sunday on the third try. It wasn’t until seeing a picture beamed down of the open sail, on Tuesday, that the society could declare success. “That was quite a thrill” seeing the picture, said project manager Doug Stetson. “This has really been a roller coaster ride of emotions, a lot of sleepless nights.” With its orbit gradually declining, LightSail is expected to re-enter the atmosphere this weekend.

Scientists call for oilsands moratorium Bob Weber Canadian Press

A group of 100 leading Canadian and U.S. scientists has issued an urgent call for a moratorium on new oilsands development and listed 10 reasons why no more projects should be permitted. “I believe we have a duty to speak up,” said Mark Jaccard, an energy economist at B.C.’s Simon Fraser University who spent more than a year drafting a letter to make sure it was scientifically sound. Jaccard was a co-author of a 2014 essay in a scientific journal that made a similar argument. But the current letter, released Wednesday, represents a much wider cross-section. Economists, biologists, climatologists and political scientists have all signed the text, which has been sent to Prime Minister Stephen Harper and all members of Parliament. The signatories include 12 fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, 22 members of the US National Academy, five Order of Canada recipients and a Nobel Prize winner. They are careful to include in their warning all high-carbon energy sources, including coal and other types of unconventional oil, but it’s focused on the oilsands. “No new oilsands or related infrastructure projects should proceed unless consistent with an implemented plan to rapidly reduce carbon pollution, safeguard biodiversity, protect human health and respect treaty rights,” the letter says. Jaccard said he was struck by the number of natural scien-

Canadian and American scientists are calling for a moratorium on new oilsands development tists who asked to sign. More and more of them, he said, are seeing the effects of climate change on the organisms or environments they study. Jaccard remembers one scientist who studied British Columbia’s pine trees, decimated by a pine beetle expansion made worse by warming temperatures. “This little scientist studying pine beetles and the foot of Godzilla called climate change comes down on top of it,” Jaccard recalled. “He said, ‘I feel silly. Why am I just studying this thing and not trying to help humanity do something?”’ David Schindler, a University of Alberta ecologist, agreed. “Everyone in this group re-

ally sees what climate change is starting to do to our ecosystems and the potential for harming society in major ways.” The harm will be more than environmental, suggested David Keith, who teaches both physics and public policy at Harvard. “The world is going to gradually decarbonize and the decisions will not be driven from Alberta,” he said. “The deeper we get into a commitment to these large projects, the better off we are in the very short term, but the worse off we are in the long term. We’ll be worse off economically when there are real restrictions on carbon emissions.”

That message isn’t sinking in, said Keith. “Outright climate denial is down, but I think that a lot Alberta oil and gas elites really don’t believe much is going to happen.” Climate change is a challenge for every aspect of society, said Thomas Homer-Dixon, who leads the Centre for International Governance Innovation at Ontario’s University of Waterloo. “There’s an enormous number of social science disciplines that are involved in this problem. We’re dealing with social phenomena rather than natural phenomena, and they’re all wrapped up in this problem of climate change and the impact of climate change.”

AFN urges Harper to get Pope to apologize for residential schools during Vatican visit Krist y Kirkup Canadian Press

OTTAWA - The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations wants the prime minister to urge Pope Francis to apologize for his church’s role in Canada’s residential school legacy. Perry Bellegarde says this is a “prime opportunity” for the prime minister to raise the issue. Stephen Harper is to meet the Pope in the Vatican on Thursday. The meeting comes exactly seven years after the prime minister issued his own apology in the House of Commons to school survivors. “That would be really symbolic for him to pressure the Pope to formally apologize for the role of the Catholic Church,” Bellegarde said. “It would be huge if they do get that apology directly from the Pope.” The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which was tasked with interviewing thousands of

residential school students and documenting their experiences, issued its key findings and 94 recommendations last week. They included a call for a papal apology on Canadian soil. Bellegarde said that would help bring closure to students who suffered atrocities and abuses at the schools, many of which were run by the Roman Catholic Church. “People want to hear, ‘We’re sorry’,” he said. In April 2009, then-AFN national chief Phil Fontaine along with four aboriginal leaders and a delegation from Canada’s Catholic Church had a private audience with Pope Benedict in Rome. The Vatican issued a communique of sympathy afterward. “Given the sufferings that some indigenous children experienced in the Canadian residential school system, the Holy Father expressed his sorrow at the anguish caused by the deplorable

conduct of some members of the church,” the statement said. “He offered his sympathy and prayerful solidarity.” The commission’s summary report said the Pope’s statement of regret was significant to those who were present but it was “unclear what, if any, impact it had on survivors, their families and communities who were not able to hear the Pope’s words themselves.” Opposition parties also support the apology recommendation. Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt wrote to the Vatican last week to draw attention to the commission’s findings. “Some recommendations relate to the churches which operated residential schools in Canada,” Valcourt’s letter said. “I wish to bring these recommendations to the attention of the Holy See.”
