INVASIVE PLANTS

?Aq’am goat grazing project deemed a success C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

This past summer, a unique noxious weed trial involving target-grazing goats was performed on the St. Mary Band lands. Cailey Chase of Cailey Chase’s Plants worked with Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control on the monthlong ?Aq’am Goat Grazing Project. Chase sent a report on the project to Kimberley City Council, who had indicated some interest in the use of goats for weed control. Chase reported that about 1,000 acres (404 ha) were treated in a three

week period. She noted that this was a trial and on a general basis the goats can treat an average of four to five hectares a day. 95 per cent of the seed heads were removed and were checked two weeks after, and there was no regrowth. Native broad leaf plants and grasses were preserved with minimal damage. ?Aq’am and the Tobacco Plains Bands have asked Rocky Ridge to come back next year. Chase says that according to Todd Larsen program manager for East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council, Kimberley has

The goats take over a yard infested with knapweed. the worst infestation of invasive plants in the RDEK. The city has only one third of the budget required and

therefore is taking care of only one third of the lands infested with invasive plants.

Chase noted that Kimberley has an amazing opportunity to use goats that fits into their emerging philosophy. The Sun Mine area, she says will have to be monitored for invasive plants to avoid an infestation. “Target grazing goats to eat weeds is as effective and efficient on large infestations are herbicides are.” Coun. Albert Hoglund said that the City had tried using goats around the transfer station area in the past and it was effective. Coun. Nigel Kitto suggested that staff be directed to look into the logistics

of using goat grazing in Kimberley, however, Council decided that it needed to come up at a Committee of the Whole meeting during the budget process. “Our intention is to develop a noxious weed plan,” said Coun. Kent Goodwin. “This could be a component of it.” Manager of Parks and Recreation Dave Clark said that he has been keeping in touch with Ms. Chase, and beginning an inventory of invasive sites in Kimberley. He noted that it did take several years for goats to be effective.

Residents of Moyie are grateful for the quick response and bravery exhibited in fighting and putting out a wildfire near Moyie on Saturday. The fire was started when Saturday’s heavy windstorm took out a power pole. “What happened was in the middle of that terrible windstorm, a branch came down on a transformer and sparked the fire,” said Charlotte Stoneking, a longtime resident of Moyie. “Fortunately, someone driving by — and it was on the same side of the townsite — stopped and called 911 at the Moyie store.” Stoneking had great praise for the Moyie Emergency Response Team — “a wonderful volunteer group. They were on scene right away, and realized they couldn’t actually get to the fire. BC Forest Service was then immediately on scene.” Stoneking said when Forest Service personnel realized they couldn’t get the water bombers in, they had a helicopter pilot come in with a bucket. Resi-

dents watched as the pilot made several passes in the teeth of the heavy wind, bucketing the fire and eventually getting it under control. “What an incredible feat it was,” Stoneking said. “The windstorm that swept through here was scary in itself, and he made six or seven trips, and managed to get that fire under control and help put it out.” The fire was only two kilometres from Moyie. “We were all on alert to do whatever we had to do on such short notice,” Stoneking said. It makes us all appreciate so much what is important in life. Stoneking said that considering how the province and other communities have been hit so hard, “it just makes us all the more appreciative that we have what we have. “We were so fortunate that the helicopter could attend so quickly, because it was so close to our town,” she said. “As a resident of Moyie, I wanted to say from the bottom of my heart — a very big thank you to the Moyie Emergency Response Team, the BC Forest Service for being there so quickly, and the helicopter pilot and whoever was with him. “They did an incredible job and flying and getting that fire out in the middle of that windstorm.”

POLL WEEK

T r e v o r C r aw l e y

If a professional hockey career doesn’t work out, Adam Cracknell can add firefighting to his resume. The former Kootenay Ice standout was out in Moyie on Saturday afternoon, helping community members douse a small wildfire that flared up after a windstorm knocked down a power transformer. “The power went out and we saw smoke coming in from the highway,” Cracknell said, who is currently skating with veterans at Kootenay Ice training camp this week. “I called it in right away and they said they got a lot of calls on it. “My neighbour and I looked at each other and you could see the flames, and just knowing how dry it is and what’s going on around here, we figured let’s grab some shovels and go help it out and try to contain it.” And so, Cracknell, along with a few others, headed up a hill roughly five kilometres south of Moyie Lake with shovels and water jugs in hand to tackle the budding wildfire. “There was a path that, we felt that if it jumped the path, it could’ve really gotten out of control because there was no way of getting above it and there’s no way we could’ve climbed the hill to try and contain it,” Cracknell said. “We felt if we got above the fire, with the wind…we had a good source of sand there, we could just use our

shovels and launch sand on it.” Luckily, one of the group was a retired forest firefighter who was able to keep the volunteers safe as they worked on the small blaze for 45 minutes before an initial attack crew and helicopter arrived on-site. “Once the helicopter came, it didn’t have a chance to spread, but we did what we thought was a good job of just containing it and once the Forest Service showed up, they were happy that we were helping out and that it didn’t get out of control.” The fire was out almost as quickly as it started, only growing to less than a hectare in size. “It was about 45 minutes of just straight hauling dirt and it would calm down, but then the wind gusts would pick up and that’s when it would get out of control again,” continued Cracknell. “But we did a good job of knocking down the edges and just letting it burn in the middle. “It was a cool experience, but at the same time, it had to be done.” Cracknell joked that he’s still coughing up smoke, but has no plans to retire the skates for firefighting gear. “You have a new respect for those guys, I don’t think that was a huge one compared to what they’re used to,” Cracknell said. “It’s a very dangerous job, there’s a lot going on with trees falling, espe-

cially with those winds, it’s not something I ever really thought about.” If Cracknell has any aspirations about a career switch, he’ll have to put it on hold after signing a new one-year contract with the Vancouver Canucks during the off-season. A 40-goal scorer with the Kootenay Ice in his final season with the team in 2006, Cracknell has spent the majority of his pro career as an AHL journeyman within the affiliate systems of the Calgary Flames and the St. Louis Blues. Originally selected in the ninth round of the 2004 NHL draft by the Flames, he has seen NHL action with

the Blues and, more recently, with the Columbus Blue Jackets last season, after being acquired on waivers from the L.A. Kings. “There was a lot interest over the summer,” Cracknell said. “You get calls and teams are really interested—every time I got a call from my agent every week that Vancouver was still really interested, they put an offer on the table to a couple guys and I just said, ‘Yes, I’d love to be a part of it, if you guys are happy with me.’ “…It was a difficult summer but when you get that job, it’s a whole new life and I’m going to head there in a week and go try to make that team.”

Cracknell was in the WHL with the Ice when current Vancouver Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins was down the highway in Medicine Hat heading up the Tigers. More recently, Cracknell faced Desjardin’s former AHL team—the Texas Stars—and also went up against the Utica Comets, Vancouver’s AHL affiliate, which is coached by former Portland Winterhawks bench boss Travis Green. “At the end of the day, I think Jim Benning just knows what type of player I am and I hope my career and how I play was the most motivating thing for them,” said Cracknell.

Alaska sits in judgment of B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett spent much of last week in Alaska, trying to assure local fishermen and environmentalists that B.C.’s mine approval process is “basically the same” as Alaska’s. Bennett visited an abandoned mine in northwest B.C. that continues to leak acid and metal pollution into the Taku River, vowing to supervise cleanup by a new operator. He noted that one of B.C.’s proposed new mines includes a 23-km pipe system to move ore out of the shared watershed for processing. This is typical of the discourse between B.C. and our American cousins. Only our industry is questioned. Meanwhile in Colorado, the latest mine spill disaster was blamed on a mistake by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. And in Alaska as in the rest of the U.S., new metal mines such as the giant Pebble project depend on the same engineering and testing as ours. Here in Victoria, the Fantasy Island dialogue about oil continued, with Green Party leader Elizabeth May calling a news conference to announce she is (brace yourself) opposed to pipelines and tankers on the B.C. coast. She stood at Clover Point, where daily Alaska crude tankers sail past, many on their way to vast refinery com-

plexes just out of sight at Anacortes and Cherry Point in Washington. A good portion of B.C.’s gasoline comes from there. Without a drunk-captain incident since 1989, these tankers load up at the terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Let’s take a closer look. For 47 years, the pipeline has pumped huge volumes of oil across Alaska from the charming northern outpost of Deadhorse to Valdez in the south, BC VIEWS just east of Anchorage where cruise ships dock. Tom In his new book, Rust: Fletcher The Longest War, science writer Jonathan Waldman calls it “the biggest, baddest oil pipeline in the world. “From Prudhoe Bay to Prince William Sound, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System stretches 800 miles, which leaves engineer Bhaskar Neogi accountable for one of the heaviest metal things in the Western Hemisphere, through which the vast majority of Alaska’s economy flows,” Waldman writes. “Daily, the four-foot steel tube spits out $50 million of oil.” It was once the largest private infrastructure in the U.S. Today it’s the most regulated pipeline in the world, with planes flying infrared sensors to detect leaks of warm oil and “line walkers” looking for soft spots in the permafrost.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

And this isn’t low-fat, shade-grown oil for Seattle fuel-sippers. It struggles to flow, with a black asphalt bottom and thick wax that has to be scraped out of the pipeline by the ton with giant “pigs” that clean and monitor walls for corrosion. The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been declining in production for 20 years, to the point where the Trans-Alaska pipeline now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out around 2040, but for now Valdez still loads more than a tanker a day. Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968, companies first considered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes and even nuclear-powered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered. Since we had a bit of hand-wringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fracturing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez. But those are American earthquakes, so no story there. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Sediment discharge

Re: “Teck Coal Faces Charges,” by Leah Scheitel, Page 11, August 27, 2015 I am shocked. The article reports that: “Teck has been charged under the Environmental Management Act and Fisheries Act … in relation to a discharge of water containing sentiment …” The article further reports that Teck takes the

charge “very seriously,” has reviewed the incident that caused the charges, and has “taken a number of steps to prevent a reoccurrence.” At least the company recognizes the seriousness of the charges. How, tell me, could a major corporation such as Teck be found guilty of such a breach? Big corporations pride themselves on a rationality and scientific approach. Sentiment is never encouraged.

That the company could express sentiment, in such quantities that it would be detectable as a discharge in the Elk River, and that its presence could be detected by a civil servant … That’s preposterous. Anne Edwards Moyie

Piano Institute to the fore this weekend Submit ted

Canada International Piano Institute (CIPI) will launch this weekend with a Garage-Book-Music Sale at Kimberley United Church on Saturday, Sept. 5, from 9 to 3, then concerts by Arne Sahlen at Centre 64 on Sunday, Sept. 6, 3 pm and 7 pm. Admission is by donation to CIPI. Along with varied showy, suave and sensitive piano music, Sahlen will talk of CIPI and “herald the future by honouring our music teachers past and present.” A quick look at Kimberley’s music teaching record, school and private, turned up well over three dozen names – and counting. “In fact, the musical richness of Kimberley is what brought me here,” Sahlen says. He arrived on Saturday September 5, 1981, exactly 34 years ago. “My plan was for two or three years here. Well, so much for that,” he laughs. “I’ve been in many places, but this rich, warm and trusting community is home.” CIPI will draw on the great reputation of

a Hong Kong pianist; google Anthony Tam, Steinway for details. Arts partners since 2007, Tam and Sahlen share a full range from many award-winning students and strong ‘arts admin’ backgrounds to shattered-country development. “Rare qualities in one of such high repute,” enthused Sahlen, “are Anthony’s care for building pride and self-esteem through skill development, and his roll-up-the-sleeves eagerness to create and support strong initiatives.” Tam is also the Hong Kong Director of EK-based Cambodia Support Group (CSG), and flew there with Sahlen in 2010. Tam’s global contacts will draw many dedicated students and families. “Every year in Southeast Asia, parents will travel to other countries to seek more knowledge for their children,” he says. “There are some music schools in Asia but we lack a lot of good teachers. Parents are eager to travel to seek advice.” The plan for July 2016: two weeks of varied music study to suit Canadian norms, then two weeks of

the intense Conservatory focus common in Asia. CIPI will plan field trips, set up performances for seniors and general public, bring economic benefits; promote cross-cultural fascination, and enhance our city’s welcoming reputation. Local-area teachers may gain work and experience joining in the rich, busy CIPI curriculum. Why Kimberley? “Small towns have big impact. Look at our many sports stars and locally-grown Paralympic splendours. Kimberley’s great event hosting record and walk-anywhere size invite efficiency. Also, I have templates from 26 years co-directing another piano summer school; so we’ve started it all in mid-process . The goal is top-flight, even world class, music training. “To develop this huge project in my Year 35 here will pay homage to this glorious community while adding a major new artistic component to Kimberley’s summer roster,” Contact CIPI2016@hotmail.com or 250-427-2159 for more details.

Prospects show promise on opening day of Kootenay Ice training camp Plenty of young potential on display at Western Financial Place

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

With substantial roster turnover coming to the Kootenay Ice this season, Monday’s prospect sessions may have been the most important scrimmages this team has seen in years. The Kootenay Ice opened training camp Monday at Western Financial Place with a pair of prospect games sandwiched around a veterans-only skate to set the stage for the remainder of the week. With the likes of Tim Bozon, Sam Reinhart and Rinat Valiev turning pro and a sizeable handful of 1995-born players left battling for three coveted overage roster spots, there’s plenty of space for new faces in the Kootenay Ice dressing room this coming season. “When you lose a lot of guys like we’re going to lose, it’s always tough,” said 19-year-old Luke Philp following the veterans practice Monday afternoon. “But other guys have got to jump in and step up. We’re going to have a way younger team this year than we did last year and years past. “It gives some of the younger guys a good chance to come in and fill roles.” Those younger guys Philp referred to hit the ice for the first time Monday morning in a prospect game that featured 41 players and saw a dominant Team Black beat up Team White by a 12-3 final score. After a shuffling of the deck, the afternoon prospect game proved a much more competitive outing, with Team Black getting past Team White by a 6-4 margin. “The first game, [the players] are nervous. They’re trying too hard and they’re afraid to make mistakes,” said Garnet Kazuik, director of scouting for the Kootenay Ice. “The improvement in the second game was much better. They re-

Prospect Max Patterson (#19) skates through the defensive zone in front of goaltender Ryan Baker (#30) Monday morning at Western Financial Place. Patterson and Baker were two of a handful of prospects that skated in two separate prospect games as the Kootenay Ice opened training camp Monday. laxed. They settled in. Overall, everybody was that much better.” Forward Max Patterson, a fourth-round selection (77th overall) of the Kootenay Ice at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, jumped to the forefront as one standout through the pair of prospect sessions. The Kamloops native, who doesn’t turn 16 until Dec. 27, showed a certain ninja-like presence as he pick-pocketed a few opponents, which on two occasions led to goals. By the time the day had wrapped up, the 6-foot-3 forward had found the back of the net four times. “It feels pretty good… It’s going to be a fun year, hopefully,” Patterson said following his twogoal effort at the morning prospect scrimmage. Patterson is in his second year at Kootenay Ice camp, this being his first year of eligibility in the Western Hockey League. The lanky winger spent the 2014-15 season with Okanagan Hockey Academy before getting a taste of the junior game with the Kamloops Storm of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

“It’s way faster,” Patterson said of the jump from midget to junior hockey. “You always have to be moving your feet, shooting the puck hard and always bearing down.” While Patterson is looking at his first opportunity to break into the WHL, another Ice prospect is staring down his second chance at cracking the major junior ranks. For Jared Legien, the 2014-15 season began in Cranbrook after he made the opening-day roster as a 16-year-old. A first-round pick (ninth overall) at the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft, Legien went on to play at three different levels throughout the 2014-15 season. “It feels great. It’s nice to be back in Cranbrook, it’s a nice place to play and hopefully it lasts longer this year,” Legien said Monday morning. “It was great to be able to come up and play with the guys [in Cranbrook last season]. You learn a lot. It’s a huge jump from midget to the WHL. Playing a couple games last year made the transition a bit easier.” The native of Pilot Butte, Sask., lasted 13

games with the Ice in 2014, registering one assist, before being sent back to his Midget ‘AAA’ team in Moose Jaw with a little bit of homework. “Jared needs to work on some things -- some little every day things,” Kazuik said. “We’ve talked to him about that over the last two years. We sent him home with some marching orders or work orders -- some things he had to improve through the winter and it looks like he has done that, but at the same time, he’s still got some room for improvement. “If he’s an honest player, if he competes every day, it’ll be fine. But if he doesn’t, he’s in the same boat as everybody else -- it doesn’t go so well.” In 29 games with the Moose Jaw Generals, the 6-foot-1 left-winger tallied 10 goals and 19 points. On top of that, he snuck into one contest with the Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, making for a well-rounded set of experience in his 16-year-old campaign. With the roster turnover about to set in, there’s never been a better opportunity for the

former first-round pick to hunt down and hold on to a roster spot in Cranbrook. “I think it was good to be able to play at every level last year,” Legien said. “Obviously the Western League is, I think, the hardest league to play in. It’s the fastest and the strongest. Being able to play in those leagues, I figured out where I want to be. I think it helped me push myself this summer to get to where I want to be. “With the turnover here, if I work hard, hopefully I can land a spot and just battle, just never give up.” Camp wears on Tuesday at Western Financial Place with the prospects and veterans thrown into the ring together for the first time this year. The day breaks down into five separate ice times, with scrimmages taking place at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Wedged between the scrimmage sessions is a goaltender-specific ice time at 1 p.m. Notes: Skating at veterans practice Monday were alumni F Adam Cracknell and G Nathan Lieuwen, in addition to D Rinat Valiev.

Defenceman Rinat Valiev is in familiar territory. At least for the time being. The smooth-skating Russian defenceman finds himself back in Cranbrook at the onset of Kootenay Ice training camp, but he doesn’t plan on sticking around for very long. “I feel so excited. It’s good to see all the boys,” Valiev said Monday following the first veterans skate of 2015 Kootenay Ice training camp. “We have a little bit of change in coaching staff, but it still feels like I know all the guys here and I’m so excited to be here.” As a 19-year-old in his second year with the Ice, Valiev posted a career-high 46 points in 52 games last season after returning to the Western Hockey League following his first NHL training camp. A third-round selection (68th overall) of the Toronto Maple Leafs at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, the native of Nizhnekamsk, Russia, made his pro hockey debut at the conclusion of the 2014-15 campaign, skating in a pair of games with the Leafs’ American Hockey League affiliate — the Toronto Marlies. “That was awesome,” Valiev said of his first pro experience. “We played on the road. I think I played okay, pretty good.” Though Valiev didn’t register any points in his quick cup with the Marlies, the experience was a positive one he looks forward to building upon in the coming weeks. Valiev is eligible to return to the WHL for one final season as an overage player, but fans shouldn’t be holding their breath in anticipation of seeing the 6-foot2, 207-pound anchor back on the Kootenay Ice blue-line. After making a quick three-week visit home to Russia earlier in the

“Try hard and we’ll see in camp... I’m just going to show my best game and try to make the team.” Defenceman Rinat Valiev

summer, Valiev returned to Canada where he trained for the past two months in Calgary as he readies for his second NHL training camp with the Maple Leafs, intent on graduating to the professional ranks on a full-time basis. “Try hard and we’ll see in camp,” Valiev said. “They’re not saying to anybody where you’re going to play. If you can play NHL, you will play NHL. [If you can play] AHL, [you will play] AHL. It doesn’t matter. “Coaches didn’t see me a lot [last year]. I’m just going to show my best game and try to make the team.” The enthusiastic young defenceman’s first NHL training camp was cut short after he suffered a knee injury in the early stages of the proceedings. This time around, a healthy Valiev is intent on showing the Leafs they did right by tabbing him as a potential future power-play quarterback in Toronto. And just what is it going to take for the easy-going Valiev to make a good impression? “Hard work, hard work, hard work,” he said with great big grin, “and enthusiasm.” Valiev is set to head east Sept. 8. Toronto Maple Leafs rookie camp begins Friday, Sept. 11, in London, Ont.

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

t has been my observation, that one of the traits we dogs share with our human pack mates is a highly evolved sense of territoriality. Both of our species have an instinctive compulsion to deﬁne the borders of our space and defend it against interlopers.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2015 PAGE 7

An unrestrained dogumentary. Different plate - same tribe. Sharing the wealth: Taylor and Gabby demonstrate the benefits of Reciprocal Altruism.

Heck, as a dog, I can’t even go for a walk without persistently snifﬁng for the scent of trespassers and cocking a leg to re-establish my ownership. Humans too, feel compelled to build fences, put up “No Trespassing” signs and even ﬁght wars to protect what they see as their turf. Being territorial, it seems, is just in our nature.

As a dog, I have been blessed with a fine nose that allows me to not only scent for past infractions of trespass by other dogs — I can actually examine other canines up close and personal and determine their intentions. A couple of quick circles while sniffing each other’s nether regions can usually determine what level of aggression to expect. This olfactory fact finding, more often than not, de-escalates the situation, allowing cooler noses to prevail. You humans on the other hand, with your atrophied sense of smell, and aversion to public nether region investigation, have had to come up with other ways to tell the good guys from the bad guys. An example of one of these human-designed identification strategies is the red and white licence plate.

I have noted that two-leggers who make their home on the west side of the Rocky Mountains display blue and white plates on their motorized vehicles. Those who reside immediately on the east side of this mountain range display red and white plates. Thus, when a British Columbian arrives at his favourite ﬁshing hole and ﬁnds a truck with red and white licence plates already parked there – well, let’s just say if humans had hackles they would be in the standing position.

Gabby watches a horde of climbers racing to claim their spot in the Bugaboos.

Last Call: Raven shares the good news with his comrades.

Some hominids even utilize the displaying of red and white plates to immediately determine that the owners of said plates not only are intruders, but that they have a predisposition for littering, building their campﬁres too large, playing their music too loud and suffering from a lack of judgement, respect and driving skill. And all this, with out a single sniff of a single nether region. It all seems just a little too “tarred with the same brush” to me. As a counter point, I submit the following as an example where the licence plate assumption proved less than accurate. Dog Jasper (my newest pack mate) and I were accompanying my dude and his friend Jamie to the trailhead in our side-by-side ATV. We were all giddy with anticipation for what was to be a three-day backpack trip into the wilderness. Our joy was snuffed out however, when 22 kilometres away from our truck, the side-by-side suffered an irreparable mechanical malfunction.

Despite a diligent attempt by the humans to reanimate the ATV, it looked like we were facing a very long walk in over 30 degree Celsius heat. Then I heard it; the putt-puttputt of another ATV. The sound of bugles heralding the arrival of the cavalry would not have sounded sweeter. Soon, two men — one younger, one older — pulled into sight. As it turned out they were a father and son, enjoying the great outdoors and each other’s company. Our unsuspecting saviours were piloting a side-by-side similar to ours, except theirs was blue, in considerably better running condition and brazenly displayed a red and white licence plate on its front bumper. When the younger man - who had a slightly military air about him, due in part no doubt, to the array of

Being motorized can ease the effort of accessing the backcountry but a breakdown can make for a long walk home. Laying claim: Gabby takes the best seat in the house as her own.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My family has lost their minds and is letting my 14-year-old nephew drive around on open roads, sometimes in busy areas. He drives with his mother and grandmother. I think this is beyond crazy. He could hit, maim or kill someone, or drive off the road and hurt himself. The consequences are beyond unimaginable. Is this a new trend in parenting? Am I wrong to think this is extremely dangerous? Should I say something? -Scared Aunt Dear Scared: Every state has different rules for when a child is allowed to operate a vehicle, depending on the child’s age, the type of vehicle and whether or not a responsible adult is present. Being young doesn’t necessarily make him a reckless driver. Since you are concerned, however, we recommend you check the laws in your nephew’s state. If he is not in compliance, talk to the mother and grandmother and see whether they understand the ramifications should Sonny get into an accident. If they refuse to listen, then please report it to the local police. Dear Annie. Here’s a topic I don’t remember ever seeing in your column. It’s what a husband should be able to do if his wife is incapable of doing common household tasks: 1. Grocery shopping: I have seen so many men following their wives around the stores like lost puppies. If you don’t know how to shop for your household, then pay attention to what your wife is doing. Learn to use coupons. Check eggs for breakage and fresh produce for spoilage. Make a list before going to the store and cross off items as you find them. Write down UPC codes for items that come in different flavors so you know what to get for next time. 2. Load the dishwasher, add detergent and start it. Don’t use it to wash plastic containers that might melt. (Don’t ask me how I know this.) 3. Cook a meal. The Web has an infinite supply of recipes. Choose one that calls for common ingredients and is easy to follow. Learn how to use the mixer and the oven. Figure out how to have all the separate foods ready to eat at the same time. 4. Use the washer and dryer so you know how to set the load size and temperature, how much detergent to use and how to clean the dryer filter. 5. Thread a needle and sew on a button. 6. Pay the utility bills, balance the checkbook and use a calendar to schedule doctor appointments, important meetings, upcoming family events, etc. 7. Change the sheets and pillow cases. 8. Operate the vacuum cleaner and replace the bag. -- Jungle Jim in Indiana Dear Jim: Thank you. You may have written this with men in mind, but every person, male or female, should be able to do the things you have listed. For every man who doesn’t know how to load the dishwasher, there is a woman who has never paid the household bills. And in all fairness, the younger generation generally knows these things already, since their marriages are more likely to be partnerships where all duties are shared responsibilities. As it should be. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

automatic weapons tattooed on his well-muscled arms politely asked, “How’s it goin.’” My human explained that our problem was that we couldn’t get it “goin’” at all.

Now keep in mind, these interlopers from the wrong side of the Rockies had travelled a fair distance to play here in our mountains. When they had set out that morning, whatever plans they had had deﬁnitely not included wasting their limited time coming to the aid of a couple mechanically challenged locals. That however — with a can-do, noproblem attitude — is exactly what they did.

Fight Back. Volunteer your time, energy and skills today.

Being towed 22 kilometres, downhill on an extremely rough road turned out to be a challenge all its own. But after several snapped winch cables, a loss of brakes due to overheating, and dust, lots of dust, the boys with the red and white plates got us safely back to our truck. There is another evolutionary behaviour that dogs, humans and many other critter share. It is one that at ﬁrst glance, seems counter-productive to the advancement of one organism over another, yet is practiced through out the animal kingdom. It is called reciprocal altruism.

It is the term used to explain why some birds will put themselves at risk to protect nests that are not their own. It is why a gopher will give a shrill alarm call to warn others of a circling hawk, even though he is drawing dangerous attention to himself by doing so. It explains why a raven will call loudly when he finds a carcass to feed on and alert other hungry ravens even though he could keep the bounty to himself. It explains why sometimes sharing isn’t just the right thing to do; it is the best thing to do. It could actually provide long-term benefit if — and it’s a big if — the unselfish individual putting himself at risk, can count on others to do the same for him. Reciprocal altruism: something to keep in mind the next time you are tempted to judge someone by the colour of his or her licence plate. Remember that by sharing the wealth on this side of the rocks, perhaps you will be given something just as precious in return. Perhaps a young man with tattoos of automatic weapons on his arms and a can-do-no-problem attitude, will dawn a uniform and put himself at risk, not just for his province but for our country.
