City of Cranbrook plans to raise administrative fees and charges ARNE PETRYSHEN

The City of Cranbrook is looking to raise fees that it charges for both general services and police services. Council approved the first three readings of the proposed Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 3832, 2015 at the Aug. 17 meeting.

In the report to council, city staff noted that they had worked to consolidate multiple amendments that had been approved since the original Fees and Charges Bylaw was adopted in 1994, in order to keep the bylaw current and updated.

“The recommended adjust-

ments to the current fees are intended to assist with cost recovery for the production of documents, recognizing the increased costs associated since adoption of the original bylaw in 1994,” city staff wrote.

Washington wildfire smoke brings southern B.C. air quality advisories C ANADIAN PRESS

Smoke from wildfires raging in Washington state has drifted north, blanketing much of southern B.C. in a thick haze.

Winds drove smoke from several wildfires south of the border into the province over the weekend, resulting in poor visibility and air quality issues, the B.C.

Wildfire Service said in a release.

A series of wildfires in Washington state has grown to 968 square kilometres, and includes the Stickpin fire burning about 4.5 kilometres south of the Canada-U.S. border.

B.C. fire crews, including 33 fire personnel, three officers and two pieces of heavy machinery,

crossed into Washington state on Sunday to help American crews fight the blaze.

Fire information officer Fanny Bernard said the Canadians will be responsible for a northeastern branch of the 192-square kilometre fire.

B.C. seeks mining agreement with Alaska Tom Fle tcher Black Press

B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett is spending this week in Alaska, his second trip this year to work out a formal agreement on mine regulation between the state and the province.

Bennett has meetings lined up with Alaska conservation groups, state legislators, commercial fishing representatives and Alaska Governor Bill Walker.

With major mine projects proposed on both sides of the border and continued public concern in the wake of last year’s Mount Polley tailings dam collapse near Quesnel, Bennett is hoping to have an agreement ready for Walker and Premier Christy Clark to sign later this year.

Several B.C. mine projects have opened or

near the Unuk River, which flows into Tongass National Forest in Alaska. Brucejack Mine is an underground project expected to proceed with construction this year. Its tailings are to be returned to the mine shaft, reducing concern about environmental impact.

Near Brucejack is the KSM Mine, one of the largest copper and gold ore deposits in the world. It was given B.C. permits last year for a design that includes open pits and a pair of tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for processing.

Bennett plans to fly into the Taku River region, where B.C. has issued permits for the Tulsequah Chief mine south of Atlin. It also

plans a tailings storage site to restart mining on two ore deposits that were previously mined in the 1950s.

“We’re going to meet with dozens of different interests and people, do a lot of listening, but also make sure that Alaskans become a bit more aware of how much access their government has to our processes in B.C.,” Bennett said.

The Alaska government participated in the approvals for KSM and others, but many state residents aren’t aware of that, he said.

Many Alaskans are aware of the Mount Polley situation, where recovery work continues a year after millions of tonnes of mine waste

poured into Quesnel Lake. Testing of water and aquatic life continues and the water continues to meet Canadian drinking water standards.

“It’s going to take years to have any longterm certainty on this, but so far it would seem that there hasn’t been a negative impact on aquatic organisms that we know of today, or on humans,” Bennett said.

An engineering review of all operating tailings dams at B.C. mines was ordered after the Mount Polley investigation found a glacial material layer that was undetected led to the dam failure in early August 2014.

Consumer survey underway in area C AROLYN GR ANT

A Consumer Survey is currently being conducted in the Kimberley/Cranbrook area.

The survey is a partnership between the cities of Kimberley and Cranbrook to better understand what consumers in the area are buying and where.

Over the next week, Justason Market Intelligence will be conducting telephone surveys in the Kimberley-Cranbrook trade corridor to

gather information about consumption preferences and patterns. In other words, what do you buy in Kimberley, what do you head to Cranbrook to purchase?

This information will be published to help entrepreneurs understand the market and compete. It will also help the communities refine their business retention and attraction strategies.

Fees going up Continued from page 1 “New fees recommended for photocopying are included as they are missing from the current bylaw and represent costs to the city in both staff time and resources. New fees are also being proposed to capture costs being incurred by police services.”

City staff did a review of other municipalities to come up with the new fees and charges.

Some of the additions to the administrative fees general section includes: adjusting the fee for the List of Electors from $15 to $20; as well as adjust the NSF cheque service from $20 to $25.

Additions to the administrative fees police services section includes: adjusting copies of motor vehicle accident reports from $23 to $35; adjusting the fee for taxi or chauffeur permits from $25 to $50; and adjusting the fee for private investigator licensing from $35 to $60.

City staff also noted that Bylaw Services staff are looking at increasing parking meter fees and parking fines.

“An amendment will be brought forward when steps for implementation of new fees such as reprogramming parking meters will have been fully considered,” city staff wrote.

Missing teenager located in Calgary Staff

Calgary Police reported Thursday afternoon that the missing B.C. teen has been located safe and in good condition in downtown Calgary.

On Wednesday, a press release from the Calgary Police Service said that Kayla Killoran Roy, 17, was last seen in Cranbrook, B.C., during the first week of July, 2015.

The press release stated that she had mentioned she was going to go to Calgary with a man named “Steve” and has not been heard from since.

City approves $700,000 Motor Control Centre borrowing Arne Petryshen

Council has approved the borrowing of $700,000 to finance the replacement of the Motor Control Center at the city’s spray irrigation facility.

The deadline for the public response against the borrowing was Aug. 10. To prevent the borrowing, an elector re-

sponse of 10 per cent would have had to have been achieved and it was confirmed by the city’s corporate officer that that threshold had not been reached. That meant the borrowing could go ahead if council approved.

It was approved with Coun.

Wesly Graham opposed.

Earlier in lasat Monday’s regular meeting, council repealed a similar bylaw adopted in January because some of the requirements were not met.

“The statutory requirement of having the deadline for submission of elector responses be at least 30 days

after the second newspaper publication was not met, being one day short,” city staff wrote in the report to council.

On March 31, 2015, council gave three readings to loan authorization bylaw, and authorized staff to proceed with the Alternative Approval Pro-

cess. The purpose of the bylaw is to authorize borrowing of up to $700,000 from the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) of BC and then repay the loan over 20 years.

City staff anticipates the city will participate in the Spring 2016 MFA debenture issue.The city anticipated that

debt servicing will commence in 2017 and will be funded by a sewer parcel tax increase of $0.50 to be included in the 2017 Five Year Financial Plan. City staff also estimated the impact of this rate increase on a taxpayer with a 15.25 meter lot is an annual charge of $8.

Council puts support behind mining conference A r n e Pe tryshen

In November, the East Kootenay Chamber of Mines is planning to hold a major conference in Cranbrook and city council put its support behind it at last week’s regular meeting.

The support comes in the way of a $500 donation through the city’s contingency fund.

Mayor Lee Pratt said Cranbrook is at the centre of mining in B.C. right now with the number of minds in the area.

“If they want to host a conference here, it makes sense,” Pratt said.

“I think for us, the amount of people in Cranbrook that are employed at the mines to start with and the money that it generates

for our economy here, $500, I think, it is more of a good gesture by us and I would be embarrassed to say that we’re not going to support it and then see what the repercussions are going to be later on.”

Pratt said that could mean the conference going somewhere else.

“Then you lose $200 attendees and the economic spinoff of that,” he said. “So I would definitely be in support of that.”

Coun. Danielle Cardozo agreed.

“From Cranbrook alone we have 500 individuals who drive out to the Teck mines and that’s a relationship that we want to continue to build,” Cardozo said. “I know that corporations

such as Teck and others have supported this quite well and for us to contribute a small amount I think is fair.”

Cardozo noted that the contingency is still at healthy amount for this time of year.

Jason Jacob, president of East Kootenay Chamber of Mines, sent a letter to council noting that the organization is proud to be hosting the Minerals South 2015 Mining Confer-

ence, which is planned for Nov. 3-5, 2015. The conference will bring in 200 attendees from across Canada, Jacob wrote.

“As an organization East Kootenay Chamber of Mines works collaboratively with many businesses and industry leaders to host an information packed conference that features technical talks, a short course, elementary school program and a

trade show featuring industry innovators and suppliers,” said Jabob in the letter.

Initially, Coun. Ron Popoff had concerns about council donating money from the contingency fund.

“I know as a corporation we should be encouraging meetings to take place in our great city of Cranbrook,” Popoff said. “My heartfelt idea of a contingency fund is it should be

alert for several southern regions Sunday, warning there are high levels of fine particulate matter in the air and cautioning people to avoid strenuous activity outdoors.

Provincial Fire Information Officer Kevin Skrepnek said the smoke makes it more difficult for crews to battle the 184 fires currently burning across the province.

Reduced visibility means aircraft have been grounded and the thick haze makes it more difficult to spot new fires, Skrepnek said.

While the haze is expected to linger over B.C. for the next few days, officials say a massive cloud of smoke was expected to lift over Washington later Sunday.

But Suzanne Flory, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Forest Service and the Rocky Mountain Incident Management team, said that may not be good news, because it could cause the fire to become more erratic and intense.

“It’s like a flue opening in a fireplace,” Flory explained.

“Smoke serves as a cap on the fire.”

Letters to the Editor Thanks to dentist

Recently my family and I were visiting Cranbrook on our summer vacation and my son’s braces broke on him. We were on holidays from Cochrane and I didn’t know what to do.

I went to the Cranbrook Dental Centre to ask for assistance. Dr. Irina Baciuwas was kind enough to see my son Carson immediately and sent us on our way in only a few minutes and didn’t even charge us for her time and services.

I feel this is an absolutely fabulous thing that she did and I wanted to publicly thank her for her kindness and dedication to her profession. All the people we meet in the office were terrific and went out of their way to help us during their lunch hour, I might add. Small town ideals are quickly vanishing in our society but they are not lost all together. I would recommend that dental office to anyone immediately.

West View residence. Unfortunately no rain came with it.

At 3 a.m. we were awoken by RCMP officers advising there was a forest fire, above the Main Hydro cut lines that run south of Westview Estates. We were advised to prepare to evacuate.

Within an hour the Cranbrook Fire department had assessed the situation and risk to residents. We were advised a helicopter bomber would come in at dawn, and by mid-morning a crew with a bulldozer had the blasé under control.

Thanks for the prompt, coordinated and efficient response by these services.

Living Well: No ifs, ands or butts Kym H oway

Look down — way down. What do you see when you visit businesses, shopping malls, parks, beaches or walking trails? We are often greeted by cigarette butts littering our communities, our pristine forest trails and our sandy beaches. We also see butt litter near grassy road sides or slowly trickling down to our water drains.

Cigarette butts are ranked as one of Canada’s leading causes of litter. Cigarette filters are made of plastic so they can take up to fifteen years to bio-degrade. That means there are cigarette filters hanging around today that may even be from the 90s! Filters contain 160 toxic chemicals of which 60 can cause cancer and when they get wet those toxins can leach into our natural environment.

Our hot, dry summers in combination

with a forested landscape make us especially vulnerable to forest fires that destroy much of our pristine wilderness and put our communities at risk. Province wide, since January 1, 2015 there have been a total of 279 fires attributed to smoking materials with total losses at almost $2.8 million. Are all fires caused by cigarette butts carelessly flung from a hand? No, but many have been caused by discarded cigarettes. The Barriere fire in 2003 is one example of fire caused by a cigarette - seventy homes and twenty six thousand hectares of forest were destroyed.

It’s concerning that some people continue to throw their still glowing cigarettes out of car windows or toss butts on the ground. So how can we address this and change the way we think and dispose of cigarette butts in a responsible way?

If you are a smoker and you are not ready to quit then the next best thing you can do is be responsible with your butts.

There are safer ways to dispose of cigarette butts. You might choose to keep a water filled container in your car to help make sure the burning butt is out. If you are out and about in the forest or on the street use a small tin container to collect your butts.

Those small metal mint tins work great. If you are hiking, pack the extinguished butts in and out with the rest of your garbage.

Please take personal responsibility for your butts – help prevent forest fires and protect our communities, our environment, and our wildlife.

Beware of new telephone scams, CRA warns Submi t ted

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is noting an increase in telephone scams where the caller claims to be from the CRA but is not, and is asking Canadians to beware—these calls are fraudulent and could result in identity and financial theft.

Some recent telephone scams involve threatening taxpayers or using aggressive and forceful language to scare them into paying fictitious debt to the CRA. Victims receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed. The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or de-

Looking back: Once is enough ”When memories make your past life a shambles, brush them aside and make up new ones.”

“Nostalgia’s all right if you can remember any of it.”

Anonymous.

A

few of us were sitting around the other day, not quite comatose, and someone asked, “D’you ever feel you’d like to live your life again? You know, go back to the beginning?”

As usual, I made some facetious remark but, later, in a more reflective mood, I had a think about it and, when that think was all over, I’d decided; once is enough; I’d got away almost unscarred the first time; I’d probably not survive as I seem to have done the next time.

I don’t remember my birth but I certainly wouldn’t want to go through that trauma again, nor the shocked looks on my parents’ faces when they first shown what they had produced. I couldn’t bring myself to do that to them again.

My early childhood was fairly uneventful except for that time my father tried to drown me at the seaside. Mother explained that a wave had bowled me over and Dad had rushed in to save me, and frightened the life out of me. I tried to believe her but was never sure.

When I was still quite young, I fell in

love with my infant-school teacher, Miss Minty and, probably thinking seriously of proposing marriage to her, I walked in front of a car that knocked me down, causing me to fill my pants and run home in embarrassment. My mother scooped me up and thrust me into the bath-tub quite unceremoniously, clothes and all. I don’t think Mum tried to drown me¸ but my sister insists that she did, well, she ought to have.

My final elementary school teacher, Ma Fuller, was an extremely stern lady with little sense of humour, and with whom I didn’t fall in love. She chided me, bullied me, kept me in after school Peter and got me through my Warland final exams.

So off I went to grammar school, where I had to wear an itchy uniform, play rugby, go on ridiculously long runs, sing solos in choirs and learn the Lord’s Prayer in English, French, Latin and German.

It was about this time that Adolf Hitler was invented and we boys imitated his speeches and Nazi salutes using the only German we knew: The Lord’s Prayer.

We also acquired a remarkable collection of dirty jokes, which, somehow, my father must have learned somewhere.

Then along came the war, rationing, air-raids, evacuation and my teen-aged experiences. I don’t think that I could survive for all those years doing those

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

daft things: like doing Acapulco-like dives off the local pier, getting the local parson arrested as a spy because he chose to walk his dog on the beach late at night, seeing scientifically if was true that cats always land on their feet by pushing them off walls, and taunting the Home Guard with very rude and confusing messages by flashing obscure Morse code messages at them when they were on manoeuvers in the local hills.

We also experimented by seeing how many loutish youths could actually ride a bicycle at one time, with disastrous and bloody results, and seeing if we could scare the local girl guides spitless by playing ghostly organ music in the basement beneath their meeting place.

We also climbed everything in sight right up to the times that, having been forced to take my younger sister out, I scaled a quarry cliff and fell off it and broke my leg and consequently suffered the indignity of seeing her rush off and get help. That was terrible; I couldn’t possibly go through that again.

So I took up rock-climbing as a sport but used ropes and other safety equipment, and still survived.

Then I met that foolhardy young woman who married me – the mate that fate had me created for – and she kept me relatively safe for over sixty years. There’s no way I’d find another one like her if I had to go through the whole nonsensical rigmarole again.

Once is enough.

Cranbrook ladies steal show at Hot August Hooves Pam Malekow Castlegar News

CASTLEGAR -- The Horse Association of Central Kootenay hosted the Hot August Hooves Show Aug. 14 to 16 at the Trail Horseman’s Grounds.

A handful of Cranbrook ladies showed well at the event, with five bringing home champions ribbons.

Tanya Ryan had herself a stellar weekend, riding ‘Twister’ to a Western Dressage Reserve championship as well as the English Senior championship before mounting ‘Eyes Full O’Charm’ to a Western Reserve Walk/Trot championship.

In the children’s division, Jesse Salwood rode ‘Comanche Max’ to an English Reserve championship and Western championship.

Toni Wilhite rode ‘Luke’ to an English Dressage Reserve championship.

Paige Matejka rode ‘Spook’ to a Walk/Trot Reserve championship

in the children’s division.

It was a wonderful weekend of riding and fun, despite setbacks.

Many competitors’ homes were under the threat of fire, which made for a stressful and emotional time.

The judge came from Riverside, Wash. and did a fantastic job. The weekend started Friday with dressage. Fifty-six tests were ridden, both English and Western.

The club added something new to the program this year.

TREC, which is a trail course with different kind of obstacles you would find if you were out in the mountains, was run and judged by Jocelyn Templeman, and was so much fun.

Nineteen horses and riders went through the challenging course.

Saturday was English Day, and Sunday was Western Day, along with some halter and in hand classes. The weather was amazing, although very smoky on Saturday, and a tad hot Sunday.

Davis Love III wins Wyndham Championship, Tiger Woods’ tough season comes to abrupt end Joedy McCreary Associated Press

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Davis Love III won the Wyndham Championship on Sunday to become the third-oldest winner in PGA Tour history, while Tiger Woods’ season came to an abrupt end.

The 51-year-old Love closed with a 6-under 64 for a one-stroke victory over Jason Gore.

The dominant storyline all week at Sedgefield Country Club was the mere presence of Woods, who needed a win to earn a spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs opener next week.

He was poised to challenge Sunday, starting just two strokes off the lead. But he only had one birdie during his first 10 holes, dropping way off the pace with a triple bogey on the par-4 11th. Woods shot a 70, finished four

strokes back and ended at No. 178 in the standings, well outside the top 125.

Love - who started at No. 186 - played himself into The Barclays by earning 500 FedEx Cup points and $972,000 in prize money. At 51 years, 4 months, 10 days, Love trails only Sam Snead and Art Wall on the tour’s age list. Snead won the last of his eighth Greensboro titles in 1965 at 52 years, 10 months, 8 days, and Wall took the 1975 Greater Milwaukee Open at 51 years, 7 months, 10 days.

Love has 21 career victories, three in Greensboro. His previous two wins came across town at Forest Oaks Country Club in 1992 and 2006, and he had just one win since then - at the 2008 Children’s Miracle Network Classic in Florida.

Love finished at 17-

under 263.

Gore, the third-round leader, shot a 69. Scott Brown (68), Charl Schwartzel (66) and Paul Casey (67) were two strokes behind Love.

Love, who was four strokes back after three rounds, started strong with four birdies and an eagle on Nos. 2-6. He moved to 17 under with an eagle on the par-5 15th - the first of his career during a competitive round on that hole.

He closed with three straight pars, walked off the 18th green with a

two-stroke lead over Brown and Gore, and headed to the range to rest for a possible playoff.

Brown pulled within one stroke of Love with a birdie on 15, and Gore made things even more interesting with an eagle on that hole.

Neither of them got any closer.

Brown hit his approach on the 18th to about 60 feet, left his putt about 10 feet short and three-putted for bogey.

Gore needed to make a 50-foot birdie putt on 18 to force a playoff, but he left it about a foot short to wrap up the victory for Love.

There was quite a crowd near the top of the leaderboard for a while. Midway through the afternoon, five players shared the lead at 15 under.

None of them was Woods.

Chasing his first victory since 2013, he

opened with six straight pars, including one on the easiest hole on the course - the par-5 fifth, which he birdied in each of the first three rounds.

Woods sent his tee shot on the par-3 seventh into the huge gallery that had been waiting for him to reel off some birdies and make his move, then two-putted for his first bogey.

And when he made the turn, he was three strokes behind co-leaders Gore and Brown his playing partner.

Brown, who had a hole-in-one on the par-3 third, joined Love at 17 under with a birdie on 11 - the same hole that pretty much sank Woods.

Woods’ chip-and-run on the 11th ran all the way off the green. He couldn’t keep his ensuing chip on the green and wound up three-putting for triple bogey. Not even three straight birdies on Nos. 13-15 could

help him recover.

Woods was far from the only player who needed to play well at Sedgefield to advance to next week. Defending champion Camilo Villegas finished at 10 under - good enough to move

him from No. 129 to No. 123 and put him in The Barclays.

But Scott Langley, who arrived at No. 126 on the points list, dropped a spot after bogeys on four of his final six holes.

Kings sign former Canuck Ehrhoff ASSOCIATED PRESS

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.

- Veteran defenceman Christian Ehrhoff has agreed to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Kings.

The club confirmed the signing Sunday without disclosing financial terms.

Ehrhoff scored 14 points in 49 games for Pittsburgh last season before missing the final 33 games and post-season due to injuries, including a concussion.

The 33-year-old German is an 11-year NHL

veteran who also played for San Jose, Vancouver and Buffalo. He has 327 points in 741 career games.

He will be a welcome addition to Kings’ depleted defence after Robyn Regehr retired and Andrej Sekera signed with Edmonton earlier this summer.

Los Angeles also is still without two-time Stanley Cup champion Slava Voynov, who is suspended by the NHL and the Kings after pleading no contest to a domestic violence charge.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Reach out for more information. Once you have all the facts, you might decide to head in a different direction. Understand that your reaction might throw others into a tizzy. Your actions also are likely to force others to think. Tonight: Surf the Web and feed your mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Deal with others directly, especially if you want to evoke change. One-on-one relating opens more doors and draws many different results. Understand how many options you have. At the same time, get to know someone better. Tonight: Make nice; be kind to a loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) As you see a surprise head down your path, you’ll want to let others participate in what is happening. Confusion could be the outcome, but sharing this experience might be more important than you know. Your sense of humor will kick in. To-

night: Listen to a suggestion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel as if your integrity is on the line. You will want to pace yourself and get done what you must. You will witness a fast change of events, so be sure to stay on top of your responsibilities. Refuse to get caught up in uproar. Tonight: Take a much-needed nap.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) No one questions your imagination and ability to conjure up amazing ideas. Once more, you will exhibit that skill. The problem that exists is the cost of this idea, especially to you.

You understand what is going on, but can you to play into it?

Tonight: At a favorite place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might wish that someone had a greater appreciation for you than he or she does. This person verbalizes his or her dissatisfaction more often than not. You will want to set stronger boundaries if this behavior bothers you. Tonight: Time to free yourself up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You say what you mean, but you often cloak the words with charm and a smile. Try to be more forthright and direct, and you will receive a more appropriate yet perhaps uncomfortable response. Clear up a misunderstanding before it becomes a major issue. Tonight: Hang out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be at the end of a problem rather than at the beginning. Still, proceed with care.

You might want to wait until tomorrow before declaring that you have successfully bypassed the issue. Be more direct in how you handle a personal issue. Tonight: Organize your thoughts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have a lot going for you, and you need to trust yourself with how you present what you have to offer. You could be putting a lot of energy into dealing with a partner or someone you need to deal with. Just be authentic, and everything will work out. Tonight: Do your thing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to understand

someone else’s perspective more clearly. Know that this person’s words are likely to mean something different from what of the majority of people hear. Honor a fast change, and be as direct as possible. Tonight: In the thick of things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use the daylight hours to the max. Expect some changes to arise from out of the blue through your friends. Your positive style and energy emerge and draw many more people toward you. You often close out others without intending to. Tonight: Go for the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are full of fun and liveliness.

Can you be stopped? Probably not. However, do direct this energy appropriately. Handle your responsibilities and clear out a project as well. Accomplishing a lot is likely to make you feel good. Tonight: All smiles.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Six years ago, our daughter left her dog with us. We’ve grown to love “Lassie” and would never give her back now. But she wears down the furniture, scratches the floors and leaves lots of hair all over.

Last year, we were blessed with grandkids, so now our living room is gated off from Lassie. We keep her in a large crate, which is very comfortable and that I refer to as her “apartment.”

She seems to like it, so when she is not playing outside, I put her in the crate so she doesn’t roam the entire house.

Well, my husband is having a fit. He says I am cruel to “cage an animal.” I now sleep alone in my bedroom while my husband and Lassie use the rest of the house. My husband has no interest in my feelings on the matter and refuses to consider a compromise. What do you think? -- Can’t Stop Crying

Dear Crying: According to the Humane Society, crating a dog is a perfectly appropriate way to train the animal not to destroy the house. The crate becomes the dog’s “home.” Even so, it is not recommended that you leave the dog in the crate too many hours at a time, because all animals need exercise and human interaction, and you don’t want the crate to become a punishment. The point is to train Lassie not to scratch the furniture or do other destructive behaviors.

But a certain amount of wear and tear is to be expected from any animal companion. If you are trying to prevent Lassie from leaving hair around the house or wearing down the furniture through normal usage, you are being unfair. Of course, your husband is being equally unreasonable by banishing you to the bedroom while he cavorts with the dog. Tell your husband that you are willing to rethink the issue if the two of you can discuss it with a dog trainer and both promise to abide by the professional advice given.

Dear Annie: My sister has been in long-term care for more than a year as a result of several strokes and a broken hip.

I recently ran into her brother-inlaw. He asked me how she was doing.

He said he didn’t know where she was staying. So I told him. This brother-inlaw lives one mile from his nephew, my sister’s son.

Please, people, don’t forget about your loved ones. Don’t give excuses.

And if you decide to visit, refrain from carping about your lot in life. My sister can’t tie her shoes, dress herself, cut a piece of chicken or use the bathroom without assistance. I guess you could say she’s in her own kind of prison without parole. -- Her Sister Dear Sister: A lot of people are reluctant to visit relatives or friends in nursing homes because they don’t know what to say or how to spend the time with someone who may not be communicative. They feel awkward and avoid going. So here are some suggestions: Bring photographs of people they know, play music they grew up with, read from a favorite book, ask whether you can take them for a walk.

Once you see how simple it is and how gratifying it can be, you will be more inclined to go again.

Oakland, Ernest "Ernie" William October 29, 1929-August 18, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Ernie announce his passing on the morning of Tuesday, August 18, 2015.

He died peacefully at the Pines in Kimberley at the age of 85 years.

Ernie Oakland was born in Vancouver and moved to Golden at the age of 3 years. He went to school in Golden and then found employment with the Government Bridge Crew. He was married in 1955 to Patricia Burrin in Golden and a year later moved to Marysville. There he became the Works' Foreman for the Village. He transferred to the City of Kimberley after the amalgamation. He retired at age 59 after 34 years employment with the city and then spent many winters enjoying the sunshine in Yuma, Arizona.

Ernie was an avid outdoorsman, loved fishing, hunting and camping and especially enjoyed spending time with family at their summer place in Perry Creek. This spring he and Pat celebrated their 60th anniversary.

Ernie leaves to mourn his passing, his wife Pat; daughters Robin and Lori; brother-in-law Fred (Marg) Burrin. 7 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

He is predeceased by his son Chris, his brother Larry Oakland and his wife Vi, sister Amy and her husband Norm Poole. Brother-in-law Peter Burrin and his parents Percy and Lena Oakland of Golden.

At Ernie's request there will be no funeral service. A gathering of family and close friends will be held on Saturday, August 22, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at their home in Marysville.

In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made in his honour to the Kimberley Special Care Home Memorial Fund.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Rodgers, Arthur Alonzo July 16, 1936 - August 8, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Art announces his passing on August 8, 2015 in Kamloops, BC. Art was born in Twillingate, Newfoundland on July 16, 1936. His Canadian Forces service took him to many places around the world with Kamloops being his last post where he settled to raise his family. He retired from the Canadian Forces as a Sergeant for his 22 years of devoted service. His transition from Military Service into Provincial Corrections took him to Maple Ridge where he met and married his 2nd wife Bonnie. They retired in Cranbrook, BC. where many wonderful years were spent traveling across Canada and the USA. Art loved to play pool, crib, chess and enjoyed his trips to the casino. He also enjoyed watching sports with a particular love for hockey, football and baseball. Dad was also a master craftsman with creating cabinets and renovating houses. His proudest accomplishment was designing the plan for their last home built in Cranbrook. He will be fondly remembered for whistling a tune, his quick humour, his story telling of his childhood and whipping up the tastiest meals. Dad was happy to have his ever faithful feline companion, Callie by his side throughout his journey.   Art was predeceased by his wife Bonnie on May 4, 2015. He is survived by his children; Scott, Doug (Janice), Marie, Ron and 2 step children Leslie and Paul. He was the loving Grandfather to Kaylee, Tyler, Kelsie, Jessica, Jamie and Great Grandson, Deklin.

He is survived by his Sister Mary of Toronto, Ontario, Sister Marie and Brother Cyril both of Corner Brook, Newfoundland. He cherished the memories of all of his extended family members and friends.

Each memory now becomes a treasure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forever in our hearts Dadâ&#x20AC;?

We will invest your gift wisely.

We will carry out your wishes.

We will ensure your gift has lasting impact.

We will honour your generosity.

The loss of a loved one is a time of profound sadness. We offer our condolences. When the time is right, we would be honoured to help you to ensure the legacy of your loved one is felt in our community forever.

NEWS Yahk, the Little Town That Did, back again for ICU Submit ted

It’s been a few years since Yahk, the little town that could; did in fact fundraise over $8,000 from its Breastfest event to support East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) and the digital stereotactic mammography campaign.

This year the Board of the Yahk Kingsgate Recreation Society has decided to once again get behind EKFH and the $1,000,000 ICU Redevelopment Project with another fundraiser appropriately entitled Carefest. The cause is an important one for the Yahk Kingsgate Recreation Society as some of the members have found themselves or a family member requiring the use of the regional hospital’s intensive care unit.

“We hope the community will get behind us and either donate to and/or attend Carefest.

By doing so it makes sure the hospital has the best trauma equipment possible for patients,”

The Creston Community Band will be providing the musical entertainment for the Yahk Kingsgate Recreation Society Carefest said YKRS President Judy Dickson.

Carefest takes place on Saturday, October 3 at the Yahk Kingsgate Community Hall and features a dinner, dance, silent and live auctions.

The Creston Community Band will be providing the musical entertainment. Tickets are $25 per person and available by calling the YKRS Hall 250 424-5462 (leave a message) or through

email: ykrsboard@ gmail.com.

There will be many other fundraising options with a raffle and the always fun money tree organized by Jeff & Theresa Vandergeest (if you would like to help sell tickets please call Jeff or Theresa at 250 4245118).

The Yahk Kingsgate Recreation Society would also appreciate any donations to the

cause. To donate or have an item picked up please call Lin Gracewood at 250 424-6949 or Brian & Marcia Eddy at 250 424-5597. Some additional hands and help are also needed for the dinner, if you would like to join in on the fun contact Judy Dickson at 250 424-5580 to volunteer.

The East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s new ICU is to be commissioned in the spring of

Kuriki plans to leave for the mountain on Tuesday by helicopter and then reach the summit in mid-September.

The autumn season is considered a difficult time to attempt Everest and is generally avoided by climbers.

“The main purpose of my climb is to spread the message that Nepal was safe for climbers and trekkers even after the earthquake,” Kuriki told reporters.

It will be Kuriki’s fifth attempt at Everest. His four previous bids to reach the top of the 8,850-meter (29,035foot) mountain were unsuccessful. In his last attempt, in 2012, he lost nine fingers to frostbite.

Since the earthquake in April that killed nearly 9,000 people, Nepal has been desperate to bring back the tens of thousands of tourists who enjoy trekking the country’s mountain trails and climbing its Himalayan peaks.
