Watering restrictions are now mandatory Non-compliance can mean having water shut off, fines C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Although Kimberley was experiencing a welcome respite from the dry heat while Council sat Monday evening, one evening’s rain did not make a difference. Council voted Monday to make watering restrictions mandatory under the water bylaw until further notice. As reported in the Bulletin last Friday, the city’s reservoir behind the Mark Creek damn
is at a level it usually only reaches in September, right before snow begins to replenish it. Mandatory restrictions are as follows: • Residents of properties with even-numbered addresses should water only on even-numbered days. • Residents of properties with odd-numbered addresses should water only on odd-numbered days. • Watering should be done between the hours of
4 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 12 p.m. That 8 p.m. time is new, it used to be 4 p.m. • Automatic irrigation systems usually offer the option of activating the system at specified times. Optimum times are between the hours of 12 midnight and 4 a.m. using the odd/even system described above. • All outdoor hoses should be equipped with spring-loaded shut-off nozzles
for any use by hand. • Hand watering of plants using a hose with a spring-loaded shut-off nozzle or a hand-held container can be done at any time. • More frequent watering of newly laid sod or newly seeded lawns is expected. Please call City Hall to advise if you plan additional watering for new lawns. There will be penalties for those who don’t obey. The City will have the authority to cut off water to a home which ignores the restrictions. It will cost $70 to get it turned back on. Fines under the bylaw can go as high as $2000. See WATER, page 3

Hydro and Southeast Fire Centre crews on the scene of a fire in Wycliffe on Monday evening.
Wycliffe fire quickly contained Kimberley Fire Department, Forestry respond to fire C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The Kimberley Fire Department was called to assist Forestry on Monday evening at the scene of a fire in Wycliffe. The fire was on the west side of Highway 95A. Assistant Fire Chief Rick Prasad says that the cause is under investigation but the likely cause is lightning striking a power pole. “The wind blew the line down after it burned for a while. Hydro
had to kill power to deactivate the line.” The power was out in Kimberley for about 45 minutes on Monday evening. Jordan Turner from the Southeast Fire Centre says there were two initial attack crews, two helicopters and a water tender on the scene, as well as the Kimberley Fire Department and the RCMP for traffic control as it was so close to the highway. “The fire’s size was estimated at .6 hectares and it was quickly contained,” Turner said, adding that the fact that it rained at the time helped a great deal. “It’s now on patrol, we’re just
making sure it’s out,” he said. Prasad says it’s not entirely normal that the city fire department would respond to a potential forest fire outside of city limits but resources are stretched right now. “We are part of the resource pool in the province. If Forestry are short resources, they can call for assistance. “We spent a couple of hours there, then had to come back because there were signs of problems in Kimberley.” Those problems turned out to be smoke reported in the Nature Park but Prasad says no fire was found.
“Things are going really well,” said JulyFest coordinator Jason Toner, who stopped by the Bulletin office Monday in between a thousand and one last minute jobs in advance of the JulyFest weekend. “Sales are going well, we have over 200 bocce teams registered. We’re looking forward to a great weekend.” Action begins Friday at 4 p.m. with the first games of the Canadian Bocce Championships. On the stage at the Rotary Drive bocce pits on Friday night will be the Jamie Neve, Good Ol’ Goats, Junk Drawer and Sketch. The live music continues Saturday as soon as the parade ends, with In Pursuit, Party on High Street, Amy Thiessen, the Bison Brothers, Elk Hunt and Crooked Line playing until 8 p.m. at which time the Civic Centre will open. Beginning at 9 p.m. in the arena are the Honeymans, followed by The Wild at 10:30 and One Bad Son at 11:30. Tickets for the Satur-

Tuesday, June 16, was a busy day for volunteers working on improvements to our Community Forest, which was this year’s recipient of the annual local Community Project Initiative sponsored by the East Kootenay Ministries. The Forest has become a major destination for recreational en-
joyment in our East Kootenay area. Working in partnership with the Cranbrook Community Forest, three projects were planned, designated and completed. Two of the Cranbrook Community Forest Society directors joined three volunteers — Chris from Highways, Lori from Mines and Pierre from Water

Branch for a weed pull in the Four Lakes area, which resulted in 45 kilograms of invasive weeds (mainly Dalmation Toadflax) being collected for disposal, setting back the spread of the weeds, and helping to provide more space for native species to thrive. Tara Szkorupa let a trail signage group who installed ten new cedar trail signs within the Southern part of forest. These new signs replace some of the original signs which are fading with age. The two major parking lots on Baker Street South received a top grading of new gravel, filling in potholes and levelling the areas. Trails
leading from the parking lots were also improved by sheer manual labour of many wheelbarrow loads spread by hand! At the end of the day a small tractor was utilized to help spread the last of the significant loads of gravel for a very successful end result! A special thanks to Darin Welch with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, who initiated and coordinated this project. Our appreciation also goes to Jack, Brent, Erin, Susie, and Jeff and everyone else who participated and gave of their time and efforts! From the Cranbrook Community Forest Society
Cranbrook 4-H Multi Club thanks FCC S u b m i tt e d
The Cranbrook 4-H Multi Club would like to thank Farm Credit of Canada for their $500 grant from the 4-H Club Fund that has allowed our club to explore more avenues of 4-H. Our club is not only comprised of animal projects such as lamb, beef and swine but also includes: foods, small engines and cloverbuds. 4-H has come a long way from the farm to include those who may live in a more urban setting. Our Foods Club run by Tanya Molle has explored preserves, baking breads and calzones. This group is working towards a group dinner where they will learn the cooking and the serving aspects of food preparation. The grant has allowed the club to purchase the ingredients needed to make these wonderful
creations. Cloverbuds is for children aged 6-8, which explores all of the projects that are available in 4-H. This year they focused on sewing and outdoor living. All members received a sewing kit, made a pin cushion and made tents, thanks to the sponsorship of the FCC. This program allows the kids to see which aspect they wish to be involved in once they reach the age of 9. The Small Engine group restored a farm tractor. The tractor was donated to the club, in a non-working order and was then re-built. This brought huge satisfaction and fascination to many of the members, as most of the members had never restored an engine before. This group’s leader is Jody Murdoch. The FCC grant allowed the group to purchase parts to restore the engine.
B.C. teachers’ union seeks Supreme Court appeal in dispute with province C a n a d i an Press
B.C. teachers have filed leave to appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada in an ongoing battle with the province over bargaining rights. The B.C. Teachers Federation is asking the top court to reconsider a B.C. Court of Appeal decision that ruled in the government’s favour in April. The appeal court found the government did not violate teachers’ charter rights when it imposed legislation in 2012 that removed their ability to bargain class size and com-
position. Four of the five appeal judges said teachers were given a meaningful negotiation process through consultations and collective bargaining leading up to the legislation. Union president Jim Iker vowed to seek a Supreme Court appeal immediately after the ruling was announced, and the organization filed the application in late June. The province has yet to respond to the application and the Supreme Court will decide at a later date whether to hear the appeal.

What’s Up?
Mandatory water restrictions now on
From page 1 “It’s pretty obvious the dry period we’ve had — which ended abruptly two hours ago —is pretty serious,” said Coun. Darryl Oakley. “It’s okay to have a brown lawn.” Coun. Albert Hoglund said the City won’t be shutting water off right away, there will be warnings issued, but it is serious. “If there is a major fire, that three inch overflow we have right now will be gone.” “We are never off voluntary water restrictions,” said Mayor Don McCormick. “We’re just saying right now it’s not voluntary any more.” Coun. Nigel Kitto pointed out that a lot of people simply ignore the voluntary restrictions. “We need to get tougher,” he said. Coun. Kent Goodwin said he thought there might be some push back on moving the allowable time for evening watering back to 8 p.m. “The majority of peo-
ple get it,” said McCormick. “We are issuing notice that we need to be careful.” City CAO Scott Sommerville said he did believe that once Kimberley residents realized the situation was serious they would comply. “Since the story on water levels appeared in the Bulletin on Friday we saw a difference in water use of 40 litres per second,” he said. Kimberley’s golf courses, although large users of water, do not primarily get their water from the Mark Creek system. Both Bootleg and the Kimberley Golf Course draw their water into holding ponds from the St. Mary River, said Hoglund. Bootleg also has wells, he said. “The only golf course that will draw from the Mark Creek system is Trickle Creek. They have a float valve system. If they have water in their major pond, they don’t draw from the city system.
It’s JulyFest weekend in Kimberley From Page 1 And don’t forget before the parade, the Kimberley Rotary Club will be at the bocce site bright and early Saturday morning for a pancake breakfast. Breakfast begins at 8 a.m. and goes to 10:45. As for the big parade, Toner says everything should be ready to roll by 10 a.m. Saturday morning, so bring your lawn chairs. You can also bring a donation of non-perishable food as the Kimberley Food Bank will be collecting
donations along the parade route. Sunday, bocce and soccer continue as well as the Sullivan Challenge Skateboard race. The full schedule for the JulyFest weekend is available at kimberleyjulyfest.com and updates on the JulyFest FaceBook page. Toner says a few volunteers are still needed for a couple of shifts in the beer tent and also for bocce refs. If you can help out email him at jason@kimberleychamber.com

Drought levels causing angling restrictions Tre vor Cr awley
With temperatures soaring across the province, the B.C. government has announced a Level 3 drought rating in various regions and have also taken the addition step of suspended angling in streams and rivers throughout the South Okanagan. Effective on July 15th, through to Sept. 15, all streams and rivers in the Similkameen drainage as well as the Kettle and West Kettle Rivers, and all tributary streams in these areas will be closed to angling. Lake fishing is not affected by the order. The angling restrictions have been put in place to protect fish stocks at a time when they are vulnerable due to low flows and high water temperatures. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations did not provide a fisheries biologist for an interview. According to Lance Page, the manager of the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, high water temperatures aren’t good for fish health. “Higher temperatures put fish under stress and the higher temperatures would create a higher mortal-

ity on catch and release,” he said. In the context of the East Kootenays, there is currently a Level 2 drought rating, meaning that the region is classified as dry. Whether that means angling restrictions will be put in place remains to be seen, according to a ministry spokesperson. “It would be inappropriate for the ministry to speculate on if/ when drought conditions would warrant angling restrictions in the East Kootenay region,” said Greig Bethel, a public affairs officer with the ministry. Currently, there are no angling restrictions in place due to drought conditions in the East Kootenay. Bethel said govern-
ment biologists are monitoring roughly 60 other key angling streams throughout the province and that additional closures could be possible, depending on what drought conditions are. “Ministry staff are closely monitoring river levels and ecosystems and may upgrade the drought level if the weather continues to have a negative effect on stream flows and water supply,” Bethel said. In addition to angling restrictions in the Okanagan, the government has also placed an angling closure on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands on July 3.

News from the Kimberley Garden Club Submit ted by: Marilee Quist
I
am surprised how much earlier some of my perennials are blooming with all the heat we have been having. From watching my tea rose flowers go from bud to done in just a day or so is interesting - also a result of the heat. However, some of the plants that haven’t bloomed for a couple of years are gearing up for a great display of blooms! I found that my French lavender didn’t like the fall we had - cold snaps with no snow cover - and failed to leaf out, but they gifted me with an awful lot of tiny seedlings. As they get big enough to transplant, I am spreading them out across my gardens, with lots left to donate to other gardens Mother Nature takes away, but also gives back! I finally finished my Virginia Creeper project and am very happy to have that over and done with so I can pursue other interests and summer activities! If you have Virginia Creeper in your yard, keep it pruned yearly or every two years - seven or eight years was way too
Tea roses can go from bud to bloom to done in just a day or two in this heat.
long to let ours go unattended! On July 8th, we toured two very different gardens of two new members. The first was a beautifully done small garden imaginatively utilizing the fenced back yard. From the large covered patio dotted with potted plants there was always a pretty floral treat for the eyes no matter where one looked. The second garden was an “inherited” garden, planted by the previous home owner, and the current owner
has done an incredible job of cleaning out the grass that had been choking out the perennials. We were able to help identify most of the plants that the new owner didn’t recognize, but there were still some that stumped us. Another lovely garden against the fence, and a cool, shaded back yard where we held a brief meeting. A huge “Thank You” to both of our July garden owners for sharing your gardens with us. August is coming
sooner than I thought it would, and our club members are looking forward to our annual pot luck barbecue, which is one of two social events in our calendar. Spouses or partners are welcome, and this year we are out at St. Mary’s lake again, just a different location, one with cool, shady gardens and a lovely beach! The Garden Club meets the second Wednesday of the month. From October through May, we hold our meetings at Selkirk High School, starting at 7 pm in the Library. From June through September, we tour member gardens, and if necessary, hold a short business meeting in the second garden while we enjoy refreshments supplied by the hostess. We welcome anyone who would like to learn more about gardening in Kimberley, whether you are new to gardening or new to the Kimberley area.

COTR number one with international students College of the Rockies has done it again. For the third year in a row, the College was ranked by international students as number one in Canada and, for the second consecutive year, first in the world for overall average student satisfaction. Conducted by the International Graduate Insight Group (i-graduate) the International Student Barometer is the largest annual survey of international students in the world. It covers four benchmarks – arrival experience, learning, living and support. The College ranked number one in all four categories. Feedback was gathered from international students from 183 post-secondary institutions in 18 countries world-wide. “The results point out the outstanding learning and teaching environment created by our faculty and also the exceptional support from everyone at the College, from the front door to our superb online environment,” says College President and CEO David Walls. “This year’s ranking includes placing in the top three in the world for learning support, performance feedback, course organization, quality lectures, language support, virtual learning, IT support, finance and registration, international office support, accommodations, food services and social activities.”
The College’s ap-
encouraged to contact
proximately 70 active host families for international students were also rated number one in the world. This result is not a surprise to the International Department. “The ranking of our host families as number one is a testament to the Cranbrook community and the wonderful and nurturing environment they provide for our students,” Executive Director, International and Regional Development Patricia Bowron says. “Our ability to deliver a great experience for our students starts with our host families.” Acting as a homestay host allows local families to learn from and experience a different culture while providing room and board for the student. Remuneration is provided. Anyone interested in hosting an international student is
Saori at (250) 489-8248. In addition to the i-graduate survey, the BC government also administered their own 2014 BC International Student Survey. Results of that survey confirmed that the College rates well above average with the student body in areas of interacting with instructors, academic expectations, approachability of staff, admissions and advising processes and more. Annually the College welcomes approximately 200 international students with the vast majority attending the Cranbrook main campus. In the 2014 – 2015 academic year, the College welcomed students from 38 different countries who enrolled in a variety of programs including business, tourism and English.
College of the Rockies President David Walls and Executive Director, International and Regional Development Patricia Bowron celebrate the College’s success with a group of international students and instructor Annette Aarts.

The ultimate dog whistle in Dixie Since its reintroduction on the grounds of the South Carolina Capitol in 1961 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, the Confederate flag has been the source of controversy with a regularity approaching that of a Madonna comeback album. Sadly, it was recently been thrust into the news once more because some kid who loved it went crazy and committed an atrocity. A racially charged atrocity. Yes. Again. Proponents of the flag fiercely insist it is not a racist symbol of slavery but a banner illustriously heralding their culture, heritage and independence. The same way a skull and crossbones is a symbol of rebirth. And the swastika is just an emblem of Caucasian pride. Anything can represent anything if one is familiar with the code. A red bandana sticking out of a back pocket invokes a certain meaning, yet when tied around the neck of a yellow lab is decidedly less prurient. It’s all context. Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni. That doesn’t mean restaurants will start serving feathers and cheese as a side dish to barbecue dinners anytime soon.
But it is disingenuous to the extreme to suggest that when the rebel flag is worn or brandished in the first state to secede from the Union, that it isn’t meant as a winkwink, nudge-nudge, knowing and shared racist commentary with no need to be verbalized. The ultimate dog whistle in the key of Dixie. Besides, it’s not really THE Confederate flag; just a Confederate flag. It’s not Will even one of three official Durst flags used during the war. The original Stars and Bars looked too much like the Star Spangled Banner and confused troops on both sides. The 2nd flag had much too much white and was often mistaken for a flag of surrender. And the third was like the 2nd, only with a big red stripe at the end. And then the war was over. Except it wasn’t. And in some places still isn’t. The recent resurgence of General Lee’s Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia gives proof that though the War of Northern Aggression has been over for 150 years, the flame of bigotry remains alive. Why? Because old times there are not forgotten. The South never quit fighting; they
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
just took an intermission. The pause that refreshes. And their protestations of innocence might be a tad more believable if the states that insist on flying the flag over state-sponsored Confederate monuments weren’t the same ones that defied integration way past the bitter end, using everything at their disposal including police batons, dogs and fire hoses. “It’s about states’ rights.” Yeah, especially those rights that include owning your labor force. They may call it macaroni, but it’s really white supremacy. In Dixieland, I’ll take my stand and live and die in Dixie. And Republicans wonder why they can’t attract black voters. Come on, you guys. It’s the sixth year of the 2nd decade of the 21st century. Pull your Confederate flags off of government lands. Let folks fly or paint or tattoo them on their own property, which as you may or may not have noticed, no longer includes people. As George W. Bush famously said, “the past is over.” Look away. Look away. Look away Dixieland. Will Durst is a comic and columnist based in California

du Toit shares lead at B.C. Amateur
After finalizing move to Arizona State, Kimberley native fires 68 to claim share of lead at Fairview Mountain Golf Club in Oliver Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
This week is turning into a pretty momentous time for Kimberley’s Jared du Toit. Prior to first-round action at the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship, it was revealed du Toit had been granted his release from the golf program with the University of Idaho Vandals in order to sign with the Arizona State University (ASU) Sun Devils and renowned coach Tim Mickelson, brother of PGA Tour star Phil Mickelson. If that news wasn’t exciting enough for the former Selkirk Secondary School student, he carded an opening-round score of 68 (four-under par) at Fairview Mountain Golf Club in Oliver to launch his name to the top of the leaderboard at the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship. “ASU has always been a dream school of mine,” du Toit said over the phone from Oliver on Tuesday. “The whole [Mickelson] family…in the blood there, they’ve got a lot of golf experience. If I can take advantage of all the opportunities down there -- they’ve got so much golf knowledge down there -- hopefully I can better my game and take it to the next level.” The Sun Devils men’s golf program has a long and successful history, with 20 NCAA conference championships to its name, along with six NCAA regional championships and two NCAA
Division I Championships. Notable alumni of the program include Phil Mickelson, Paul Casey, Bob Gilder and Billy Mayfair. Head coach Tim Mickelson was named the Pac-12 Conference Men’s Golf Coach of the Year in 2015, his fourth year with ASU. In addition to its deep list of alumni, ASU boasts a deep active roster, including the world’s top-ranked men’s amateur golfer, Jon Rahm-Rodriguez. “The team is pretty deep,” du Toit said. “Qualifying for that team won’t be an easy guarantee. There’s going to be competition left, right and centre. “It’s going to be exciting. When I do load up for that first event, there’s going to be a lot of excitement.” du Toit is ranked 162nd in the world men’s amateur golf rankings as of this week. Within Canada, the Kimberley native is ranked fourth on the men’s amateur list. He spent two seasons with the Vandals and though he’s excited to join the Sun Devils’ program, leaving the University of Idaho wasn’t an easy decision. “I’ve got a lot of good friends on and off the golf team,” du Toit said. “It’s definitely going to be tough not going down there in September. But when one door shuts, another one opens.” In celebration of his transfer to one of the NCAA’s most prestigious
golf programs, du Toit walked through an open door at Fairview Mountain Golf Club on Tuesday afternoon, firing a first-round score of 68. “A lot of ups and downs today,” du Toit said. “It was a pretty big struggle on the front nine and then on the back nine things started coming around. I’ll take that into tomorrow.” The freshly-minted Sun Devil dropped back-to-back eagles on the 11th and 12th holes en route to a sparkling six-under 30 on the back nine at Fairview Mountain. On the 540-yard, parfive No. 11, du Toit hit a long iron to the green with his second shot before draining the putt for an all-too-easy eagle. On the 365-yard, parfour No. 12, the feat wasn’t quite as simple. “They had the tees up, but I still needed driver to get there,” du Toit said. “I hit the nicest shot I’ve hit in a while -this high, soft-landing driver -- I hit it to eight feet and was fortunate enough to make that putt.” The back-to-back eagles jump-started du Toit, who had opened his round with a twoover 38 on the front nine, including a nasty double-bogey on the 544yard, par-five fifth hole. From there, du Toit rounded out his day with back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17, which helped vault him to the top of the leaderboard as of print deadline on Tuesday afternoon. At the end of the day,
Canadian rowers haul gold at Pan Am Games CANADIAN PRESS
ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - Canada’s rowers earned their third gold medal on Tuesday, winning in men’s quadruple sculls at the Pan American Games. Matthew Buie of Duntroon, Ont., Julien Bahain of Sherbrooke, Que., Will Dean of Kelowna, B.C., and Rob Gibson of Kingston, Ont. led the entire race and won with a time of five minutes 42.22 seconds. Cuba won silver in 5:44.39 and Argentina won bronze in 5:47.14. Canada now has a total of five golds and two bronze medals in rowing. Earlier, Liz Fenje and Katherine Sauks were victorious in the women’s
lightweight double sculls at Royal Henley Island. Fenje, from Victoria and Sauks, from Owen Sound, Ont., won with a time of six minutes 57.23 seconds. Cuba took silver in 7:00.36 and the United States won bronze in 7:03.86. Also, Carling Zeeman of Cambridge, Ont. won gold in the women’s single sculls. Zeeman was more than seven seconds ahead of the competition with a winning time of seven minutes 30.86 seconds. Katherine McFetridge of the United States took silver in 7:38.21 and Soraya Jadue of Chile won bronze in 7:43.34.
du Toit came into the clubhouse with two eagles, three birdies, 11 pars, one bogey and one double. “They’ve got it set up pretty easy, I think,” du Toit said. “They had the tees up today and a lot of the pins were pretty open. The scoring average…will be pretty low. “Later on in the week, you’ll definitely see some low numbers… When the wind gets up it plays tougher, but there wasn’t much wind today. “If you keep the blood off the card, you’ll definitely have your chances to make birdies and if you’re lucky, make some eagles. Play pretty smart and I think you can eat this place up.” With a number of competitors still on the course as of print deadline Tuesday, du Toit found himself sharing a tie for the lead with Ian Kim of Vancouver’s Hazelmere Country Club. Second-round action gets underway Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. (Mountain), with du Toit slated to tee off at 2:50 p.m. (Mountain). du Toit isn’t the only East Kootenay local in competition at the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship. His younger brother, Russell, carded a fourover par 76 to sit tied for 37th. Hailing from the Creston Golf Club, Karson O’Keefe fired an even-par 72 and is tied for 12th on opening day. Scott Merriam, of the Cranbrook Golf Club, scored a first-round 78 (six-over) and remains

Longtime Kootenay Ice forward Dustin Sylvester will continue his professional hockey career in Austria after signing a one-year contract with the Dornbirner EC Bull Dogs on Monday.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be overwhelmed by everything you see as you encounter power play after power play. Whether to get involved in one of these control games will be your decision. What you do could surprise others. Tonight: A new beginning is possible once you rid yourself of frustration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will try to explain where you are coming from, but someone else might decide to throw his or her issues into the mix as well. This person seems to want the spotlight on him or her right now. Try not to get involved in a power play. Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s wild day. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a lot to say, and you want others to hear what you’re saying on an authentic level. A loved one could become very controlling over a financial issue. Step back and let this situation play out. You might opt for a new beginning. Tonight: Curb a tendency to be rebellious.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others listen to what you have to say. You are open-minded and full of ideas. A partner could be very demanding, angry and sometimes even controlling. You are likely to get into a tiff with this person. Tonight: Avoid a difficult situation, and you will be much happier. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to get away from the wild interactions happening around you. Your temper could flare up suddenly and catch you and others off guard. Sort through any angry feelings that keep bubbling up, and process them before sharing. Tonight: Get some distance from others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Emphasize what is going on with a group of friends. Maintain a caring position, especially with a dear friend. A power play is likely to occur around a loved one. Know that you cannot interfere or protect this person, despite your desire to help. Tonight: Join your friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
Understand what is happening with a family member. You might experience some pressure from someone who is in charge. Your responsibilities demand attention, and there is no way around it. Expect a tantrum from a loved one. Tonight: Home is where the heart is. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your beliefs could trigger quite a response. You might need to use other words to communicate what you are feeling. Express your thoughts in a meaningful way. A friend could shock you with his or her actions. Tonight: The fun begins when you decide it does. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) One-on-one relating will help make your path easier throughout the day. You might have difficulty believing that, though, as you feel someone has his or her eye on a situation that’s near and dear to you. You would be well-advised to back off. Tonight: Use self-discipline. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might feel unusually ornery, and could unintentionally
take it out on others. A little restraint would make your life substantially easier during the next few days. A loved one will want to have a new beginning or say goodbye to a problem. Tonight: Be cool. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to stay home or dive right into work. The objective remains the same: Avoid the myriad personalities in your life who could be reacting to the New Moon. High energy and uproar will surround you on some level. Tonight: Get away from the raving crowds. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might enjoy some of the ups and downs of your day. Tap into your ingenuity when something falls apart or when a friend seems to change his or her attitude toward you. Keep an open mind, and don’t take comments so seriously. Tonight: Be with your favorite person. BORN TODAY Author Arianna Huffington (1950), former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura (1951), painter Rembrandt (1606)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: The real estate agent who sold me my home nine years ago periodically phones my house, asking whether I plan on selling, and offering his assistance. We have a courteous, professional relationship. I never had a problem with him or his company. Recently, I was a guest at a large customer appreciation event sponsored by this real estate company. I sat quietly by myself. One of the company’s main employees ridiculed me loudly, making a spectacle of me, pointing me out to others, making fun of my looks and my hair. I am a neat, clean, conservative senior citizen. She even walked past me and laughed loudly in my face. I had never met this woman before. I was so horrified that I said nothing and left. I do plan on selling my home. However, after my horrific treatment at the “customer appreciation” event, I will not be using that real estate company. If my former real estate agent asks me why I have listed my home with another company, what should I tell him? No number of promotional events will ever bring back a customer who has been so terribly mistreated by an employee. -- Ridiculed in Rapid City Dear Ridiculed: We cannot imagine any company allowing an employee to behave like this in front of potential clients. Was she drunk? Are you certain she worked there? Did others notice? Please don’t wait until the real estate agent contacts you. Call him or his company and report this incident. Explain exactly what happened and give as many details as possible. They need to know that this woman is out of control and is costing them business. Dear Annie: A few months ago, my niece announced her wedding date for next summer. She selected the wedding dress and the venue and put down deposits. The couple recently decided they cannot live apart and had a small civil ceremony with only their parents present. They have announced that they will still have the full wedding next year for the rest of their family and friends. While we have not seen any invitations yet (it’s early), we are not sure how to handle a gift for a wedding that is a year after the actual ceremony. I would prefer to send the couple a gift now to help them start their married life together, but I wouldn’t then send a second gift in a year. I’m also not sure I will attend the second wedding, since it’s so long after the fact. It seems inappropriate. Tell me, Annie, is this how weddings are done these days? -- Confused Family Member Dear Confused: No. Most weddings are still done in a more traditional fashion, although, we admit, there seem to be many more variations these days. Nonetheless, if invited, you are obligated only for one wedding gift, whether you send it now or later. (Either is fine.) And please don’t judge the couple so harshly by not attending the second wedding. Think of it instead as a big party to celebrate their marital bliss and enjoy yourself.

Obituaries
Obituaries Dale Honeyman 1924 - 2015
Mom was reunited with her soul mate Harold Honeyman on January 15, 2015, at 90 years of age. She proudly served with the Royal Canadian Air Force Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Division from 1943 to 1946, and was a long term member and supporter of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 67 in Kimberley and then in Cranbrook at Branch 24. Mom loved to help out where she could and was most comfortable doing so from behind the scenes. She passed on her passion for good food and cooking to her family and she was known for her nurturing spirit in the garden and the support she freely gave to her children, their families and those who spent time with her. Mom will be lovingly remembered by her sons Ray, Gordon (Cynthia), Collin (Laura) and Keith (Sally); as well as by her grandchildren Michael, Brian, Lindsay, Rachelle, Carly and Matthew; her two great granddaughters Jocelyn and Frankie Dale and numerous nieces and nephews. Mom was predeceased by her husband Harold and her son Arthur. A special thank you to the staff at Joseph Creek Care Village and East Kootenay Regional Hospital for their care and support. Please join our family in a Celebration Of Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Life on Saturday, July 18, 2015 in the McPherson Funeral Home Reception Room in Cranbrook at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a memorial donation in Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour may do so to the: Cranbrook Regional Hospital Auxiliary, 13 - 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook British Columbia, V1C 3H9 or the charity of your choice.

Spotlight shining on Pluto at cold outskirts of solar system Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Pluto’s tiny, icy world is getting major attention for its first visit by a spacecraft, NASA’s New Horizons, the last stop on a planetary tour of the solar system a half-century in the making. The moment of closest approach for the New Horizons space-
craft came around 7:49 a.m. EDT Tuesday, culminating an epic journey from planet Earth that spanned more than 3 billion miles and 9 1/2 years. Based on everything NASA knows, New Horizons was pretty much straight on course for the historic encounter, sweeping within 7,700 miles of Pluto at 31,000
mph. It actually happened 72 seconds earlier and about 40 miles closer than anticipated. Tuesday’s flyby - with the closest approach being the approximate distance between Seattle and Sydney, or New York and Mumbai - is expected to open up new ground on the last unexplored planetary territory of our solar sys-

New Horizons has obtained impressive new images of Pluto and its large moon Charon that highlight their compositional diversity. The images, whose colours are exaggerated, were taken July 13 at 3:38 am ET, a day before the spacecraft’s historic flyby. (NASA) American. Astronomer Clyde Tombaugh spotted the dot in 1930. The name Pluto came from a British schoolgirl, Venetia Burney, then 11, based on the mythological god of the underworld. Tombaugh died at age 90 in 1997, nine years before New Horizons took flight. A bit of his ashes is on board. Both of Tombaugh’s two children, now in their 70s, were at the New Horizons mission operations centre for Tuesday’s celebration.
tem. The unprecedented encounter was the last stop on NASA’s grand tour of the planets over the past half-century. New Horizons arrived at the small icy world after an epic journey that began 9 1/2 years ago, back when Pluto was still considered a fullfledged planet. Here’s a rundown on Pluto, a 20th-century discovery about to become the 21st-century darling of astronomers: DISCOVERY Pluto is the only planet (OK, now former planet) in our solar system discovered by an
FIVE MOONS Big moon Charon was discovered in 1978,
followed by little moons Nix and Hydra in 2005, Kerberos in 2011 and Styx in 2012. The Hubble Space Telescope revealed all four baby moons. Astronomers stuck to underworld undertones when it came to the names. New Horizons will hunt for more moons, but at this point, they would have to be pretty elusive. The Pluto empire, complete with six bodies, at least for now, is like its own mini solar system. FORGET SUNGLASSES Pluto is so far from the sun - between 2.8 billion and 4.6 billion

miles - that twilight reigns. At high noon on Pluto, it looks as though it would be dawn or dusk on Earth. It takes 248 years for Pluto to orbit the sun. Thus, it’s only made it about one-third of the way around the sun since its discovery in 1930. Every so often, Neptune’s orbit exceeds Pluto’s, putting Neptune slightly farther out.
FIRST A PLANET, THEN IT’S NOT Pluto is the only planet to get kicked out of the solar system club. Just seven months after New Horizons rocketed away from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 2006, the International Astronomical Union declassified Pluto as the ninth planet for technical reasons. Instead, it became a dwarf planet. The decision left the solar system with eight full-fledged planets, with Mercury replacing Pluto as the smallest. New Horizons scientists, as well as NASA’s leaders, are hoping the new pictures will restore Pluto’s planet status.
THE TWILIGHT ZONE Pluto is the biggest object in the icy Kuiper Belt, also known as the third zone after the inner rocky planets and outer gaseous giants. The Kuiper Belt is full of comets and other small frosty objects. It’s named after the late Dutch-American astronomer Gerard Kuiper, who proposed a bevy of small bodies beyond Neptune back in the 1950s. The New Horizons team hopes to go after a smaller Kuiper Belt object following the Pluto flyby, provided a mission extension is approved.
