ON THE MOVE: If there is one thing the formation of the Cranbrook Chess Club has proven over the past few months, it is that there is an appetite for the ancient and popular game here. So much so that the Club is forming a Summer Chess School. See more, Page 4.

Desperately dry Snowpack at record low: 42 per cent of normal C AROLYN GR ANT

Cooler temperatures this week brought some rain and even a bit of snow at higher elevations in the East Kootenay, but overall the snowpack is at record lows for May. This is the word from the latest snow bulletin on May 9 from the BC River Forecast Centre. The latest report says the snow-

pack is at 53 per cent of normal for this time of year. That’s a provincial average with individual reports ranging from 10 to 100 per cent of normal. The average is a new record low (measured since 1980), and is 13 per cent below the previous low of 66 per cent, recorded in 1980.

Woman pleads guilty to fraud Conditional Sentence Order and Restitution Handed Down for Fraud Over $5,000 RCMP FOR THE TOWNSMAN

ALL IN FOR THE OUTDOORS: Alison Gagne is the latest East Kootenay representative in the prestigious hunting competition ‘Extreme Huntress.’ Alison has made the round of 20, and now needs online votes to make through to the exciting final round of six hunters. See full story and voting details on Page 5.

A Cranbrook resident has pleaded guilty to Fraud Over $5,000 and received a two-year Conditional Sentence Order, following a three-year investigation by RCMP. In May of 2013, Cranbrook RCMP

were approached by a Cranbrook business owner who said that he suspected an employee had been defrauding his company of a large sum of money between 2006 and 2013.

Patios for the People City tweaks bylaw after some businesses express concerns Trevor Crawley

Sitting outside having a beer or a meal in Cranbrook’s downtown is moving closer to becoming a reality. The city got a chance to hear some feedback about their proposed seasonal patio bylaw on Wednesday evening with an open house at the Manual Training School. The draft bylaw, presented to city council in April, passed first reading and is currently in a tweaking stage as staff respond to questions and concerns from the public and downtown business community. Rob Veg, the senior planner for the City of Cranbrook, said he’s heard mostly supportive feedback about the bylaw. “Any kind of concerns that have been raised to date, there have been a small number that have submitted concerns for the potential for loss of parking on the streets downtown,” said Veg. Cobbled together after looking at what other municipalities across B.C. have done in regards to outdoor seasonal patios, there are four main points that Veg and city staff are taking into consideration—limiting liability to the city, affordability, consistency and differing patio options. “From my perspective, when we were doing the research we didn’t reinvent the wheel writing the bylaw here,” Veg said. “We borrowed from everyone else who already had experience in this.” The goal was to learn from the experiences of other municipalities in a made-for-Cranbrook bylaw that would address issues such as design regulations, advertising and potential safety concerns. “All the regulations were reviewed and borrowed and tailored to suit the needs that we’re hoping to address here in our municipality,” said Veg, “because every municipality has different standards because their streets are different, so we had to look at it from the point of view of will these regulations work in downtown Cranbrook.” Even though council has had the chance to look over the bylaw at a council meeting, Veg is already anticipating a few changes, even if they are minor. “One of the things that was raised was we have the seasonal patio timeframe from May 1 to Oct 31 and some people said that might be a bit late for our window here in the East Kootenay,” said Veg. “Maybe we’ll look at having that window just for on-street patios as opposed to the sidewalks. “We’ve got to take into consideration our public works crews and street cleaning and that kind of stuff. “But for the smaller shops that may want to put out tables in March if we get a balmy day, I can see some value in that option, for example.” Other tweaks could include lowering the $5 million liability insurance and council will also have the opportunity to come back to city staff when the bylaw goes back onto the regular meeting agenda for a second reading. The bylaw, as currently written, allows for either on-street patios — as businesses are allowed one parallel parking space or three angle parking spaces — for a monthly $300 rental fee or an exemption for small bistro tables on sidewalks, provided there is 1.5 metres clear for pedestrian traffic. On-street patios require building permits, need to be flush with sidewalk curbs and have a one-metre tall railing. The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce board voiced it’s support for the bylaw on Wednesday evening in the form of a letter written by David D. Hull, the executive director. “In discussion, the board was of the opinion that seasonal patios would greatly enhance efforts to populate and vitalize the retail sections of our community,” Hull wrote.

RCMP clearing Cranbrook crimes at increased rate, Council hears

Trevor Crawley

Even though certain crimes are in Cranbrook, police are cracking down on them at an equally increased rate Clearance rates by charge for drug and other criminal code files are up significantly, according to RCMP Sgt. Barry Graham, who presented first-quarter crime statistics to Cranbrook City Council on Monday evening. A clearance rate is calculated by dividing the number of crimes that are “cleared” (a charge being laid) by the total number of crimes recorded. Clearance rates are used by various groups as a measure of crimes solved by the police. In Cranbrook, total drug files are up 38 per cent, however, drug file clearance is up 50 per cent, while non-traffic cleared files by charge are also up by 38 per cent.

“There are a number of different things we can do, whether it’s looking for more statements from different people, extra canvassing, just how long and how much you invest in the investigation,” said Sgt. Graham. “Sometimes, there are low odds, but sometimes you get that ‘jinkies, a clue’, like Scooby Doo and you move on. Our members are learning more, we’ve had some quality supervision, good direction and it’s helping people keep on these files.” Calls for service within the city was down four per cent, however, there was a 17 per cent jump in calls for service in rural areas. Person offences, such as assaults, sex assaults, assaults with a weapon, robbery, threats, criminal harassment, was down 13 per cent. Property related offences, including break and enter,

“One troubling statistic is the alcohol involvement in our motor vehicle accidents. We went from zero in this quarter last year to six this year.” RCMP Sgt. Barry Graham mischief to property, thefts and thefts from vehicles, were down by 22 per cent. Other criminal code offences such as causing a disturbance, breach/ bail violations, firearms offences, public mischief, obstructing a police officer and counterfeit currency were down by 30 per cent. Inside city limits, there were no fatal motor vehicle accidents (MVA), however, injury MVA’s jumped by 150

per cent. “Our injury accidents went up substantially, about 150 per cent from 4 to 10, possibly due to weather conditions over that period this year,” said Sgt. Graham. “Property damage from motor vehicle accidents also increased, same thing. Some varying road conditions that we had this year caused havoc for some of our drivers.” Statistics indicate a 54 per cent rise from both total injury MVAs and reported property damage and a 15 per cent increase in alcohol-involved MVAs. “One troubling statistic is the alcohol involvement in our motor vehicle accidents,” Sgt. Graham continued. “We went from zero in this quarter last year to six this year. It could be a number of things contributed to that. We have had a lot more visibility in our patrols…what that does is improves our re-

sponse times as well.” RCMP removed 19 impaired drivers, an increase of 12 per cent, and roadside suspensions were also up by 17 per cent. Traffic tickets issued were down by 35 per cent, however, total warnings and orders were up by 79 per cent. After questioning from Councillor Ron Popoff, Graham also reported that an annual mud bogging event during an April long weekend out at Lake Koocanusa was relatively tame. “Uneventful from us as a response,” Sgt. Graham reported. “We had increased visibility there. We had assigned members to proactively actively patrol the area. We scouted out the area before and knew where there were troubled spots and and tried to identify those problems on the way in.”

Snowpack at record low levels Continued from page 1 The East Kootenay snowpack is at 42 per cent of what you would normally see at this time of year. Of the 183 snow survey measurements made for the May 1st period, 33 stations, or 18 per cent, observed new record lows, with many locations having 40 to 50 years of record. Low and mid-elevation snow is

largely gone for all areas of the province with snow remaining only at high elevation, the report says. The advance in runoff timing is expected to continue to lead to earlier timing of peak flows and recession to the lowflow season across the province. The shift in timing echoes the pattern in snow melt, with

many rivers experiencing flow conditions that are three to four weeks or more ahead of normal. As for the outlook, the report says strong El Niño conditions that developed over the equatorial Pacific regions over the past few months peaked in the winter and are declining. With significant snow melt already occurring, many river basins are

New yield sign in place at top of Victoria Avenue For the Townsman

A new yield sign installed by the City of Cranbrook is now in place to improve traffic safety at the top end of Victoria Avenue South. The yield sign is in place on the south side of Victoria Avenue heading up toward Gold Creek Road and 13th Street South near Kootenay Orchards School. Drivers must yield to all vehicle traffic until the intersection is clear. The yield sign was installed to mitigate the immedi-

ate safety concerns around the large number of vehicle near misses and collisions. “Vehicle near misses are a regular occurrence around this intersection,” says Eric Sharpe, Director of Engineering and Development Services with the City of Cranbrook. “This new yield sign is an immediate, interim measure to reduce the number of those near misses. The public needs to be aware and we ask that drivers please respect

the change to the traffic control.” It is a unique intersection in Cranbrook as part of the intersection is the responsibility of the City, while the other part is outside the City boundary and is the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI). Staff from both the City and MOTI is working to come up with a more permanent solution to deal with traffic control issues at that intersection.

approaching, or have passed, the peak of the freshet season. In mid-sized watersheds with limited high elevation terrain in the south and central interior, the peak of the freshet season may already have occurred. This includes the Similkameen River, tributaries in the Okanagan

basin, Salmon River, Nicola River upstream of Nicola Lake, and similar surrounding rivers. In the larger river systems of the province, and rivers that drain higher elevation alpine terrain, the peak flow season is expected to continue to be 3-4 weeks earlier than normal, but have not yet occurred.

Ancient game takes off at new club

Cranbrook Chess Club offering Summer Chess School Barry Coulter

Cranbrook’s destiny as a chess playing hotbed is on track. A Cranbrook chess club, formed early in 2016 has been greeted

with an enthusiastic response, and now the Club is launching the Cranbrook School of Chess, which will run all summer and continue afterwards.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Road Patching Services The City is seeking proposals from qualified proponents for the provision of road patching services for a one year term with the option for a one year extension at the discretion of the City. Proposal documents are available from BCBid and the City’s web site under “Business – City Tenders”. The sealed proposals, clearly marked, should be addressed: “Request for Proposal – CRA2016-R-001 – Road Patching Services” and must be received by Tuesday, May 17, 2016, no later than 2:30 pm local time by the office of: The Corporation of the City of Cranbrook Attention: Melissa Smith, Financial Services Manager 40 10th Avenue South Cranbrook, BC V1C 2M8 Late submissions will be rejected. The City reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals submitted.

“We want to create opportunity for youth — elementary through college- and university-age — to discover the game and help place Cranbrook on the map of national and possibly international chess,” said Dekkers, one of the club and school organizers. The new club has 40 players on the roll at present “Everybody’s not always there every night, but it’s a very nice attendance.” Dekkers added that the Cranbrook club is larger than the Calgary Chess Club. The school is currently in the recruiting stage. “We need to have 10 students enrolled before we actually go forward. We plan to have the first school meeting Monday evening, 7 to 9 p.m. The intention is to run it every Monday throughout the summer — as a summer program.” While the school will be held Monday nights, the Cranbrook Chess Club itself runs every Wednesday evening in a public access classroom in the Cranbrook Alliance Church. Members represent all age groups and abilities. “We’ve got several members who are just below the Master’s level

When you start as a younger player — in your teens or even in elementary school, that’s where you’re going to discover talent, and if those young flexible brains start to engage in the game and they really

have a talent then they can soar really high, incredibly fast. That’s what we want to achieve as well — that we’re going find several players like that as well. But Dekkers says it’s important to remember that the beauty of the game is that anyone, at any level, at any level of talent, can enjoy the game. “Because at anyone’s level it’s an equal match, and equal challenge. As long as you match your opponents properly — and we have enough player variety to do that — then you can have a really fun game.” Dekkers references a 2013 film “Life of a King,” based on the story of Eugene Brown, who learned to play chess in prison. When he got out, he wanted to help children discover the game as well, and

went on to found a prestigious chess school in Washington, D.C. “Because the game shows you, very strongly, the consequences of cause and effect. You make this choice, this will be the outcome. You think early on in your life that something isn’t important, it’s going to haunt you 20 years down the road. The game of chess is very suitable to teach those life lessons — to have a play, to think it through, and how a mistake can become a real problem, or something that looks like a minor detail can actually very important. “It’s a very healthy game. You can’t go wrong with playing chess. You can’t lose your money at it, you can’t become addicted, you don’t develop dangerous habits. You’re

playing with other people, it’s relational.” The club uses a common ranking system — a statistical process of seeing how well one plays, in comparison with others, determing probabilities of the outcome of each match and expressing each outcome with points. “With the ranking already in place — and we have played 500 games now together — we have a very accurate idea of where everybody ranks,” Dekkers said. “And the ranking is a beautiful thing, almost a straight line when you graph it out. That means a novice chess player can come and play with other novices, and a lower intermediate player can come and we have several lower intermediate players. And if an advanced player comes — almost at Master level — then we have advanced players as well to play against. We have players of all levels. “As a co-op, of course, all rankings over time start to increase, because you’re all together and you’re paying attention to your game and your development. So everybody gets better.” For more information on the Cranbrook Chess Club and the upcoming Cranbrook Summer Chess School, check out the website cranbrookchess.com, or Cranbrook Chess on Facebook, or email chess@dynaread.com. “We feel that if we create this, and it’s successful, then it could create an avenue for a number of youth who are interested in it,” Dekkers said.

Alison Gagne is East Kootenay’s latest Extreme Huntress W Barry Coulter

omen involved in the East Kootenay’s strong outdoors culture are once again at the forefront of the female hunting world. The Elk Valley’s Alison Gagne has reached the voting round of “Extreme Huntress,” based on the strength of an essay she wrote for the competition. Now, to get through to the exciting round of six in this prestigious female hunting award show, she needs to attract online votes from supporters far and wide. Extreme Huntress is a popular worldwide competition — considered the most prestigious female hunting award — which showcases the hunting skills and outdoors abilities of the contestants, and is aired is in a series of online episodes. It’s stated goal is to preserve and promote outdoor heritage and create positive role models who want to participate in hunting. “The most important part, for us, is to promote the outdoors for other women and children of the world,” Gagne told the Townsman. “Divorce rates are 51 per cent — there are a lot of single mothers that

may not have the interest to get their children outdoors. “In this technological era it’s important for us not to lose that — it’s our heritage, that connection we have with nature, just being in the outdoors. It’s seems like society is being pushed away from that. “This is important to me as a mother. I have two young children, and I was very fortunate to grow up with a very outdoorsy family. “I feel I am a good role model to promote this.” Gagne — a nutritionist and fitness trainer in Sparwood — started following ‘Extreme Huntress’ a few years ago when Nikita Dalke of Cranbrook was a contestant. Gagne, who lived in Cranbrook for a while, knew who Dalke was, and so her interest in the show was piqued. Last year another Elkford woman — Erica Forsyth — also made the final rounds of the show, which confirmed Gagne’s decision to enter. Gagne’s essay, which won her a spot in the 20 contestants, who will be winnowed down to six, referenced her growing up in an outdoors-focused family, her hunt-

ing guide experience as a youth, and how she was able to resolve a period of poor heath with a return to that lifestyle, paying special attention to its nutitional aspects. “Hunting is part of the Nutrition and Fitness triad which results in true health,” Gagne wrote in her essay. “As a Nutritionist and Personal trainer, I live and work towards being as healthy and as fit as I can be in order to be able to conquer mountains, chase big game, pack meat out, & carry my children alongside as a positive role model for them and others. “As a female, I am a true provider for my family. “Nature is in all of us. Nature is where we originated from. Some of us have lost that connection. I want to help those people find Nature again through Hunting; as the female voice.” Gagne has now reached Stage 2 of the competition — the voting stage, along with 19 other contestants from around the world, including others from B.C. To reach Stage 3 she needs as many votes as possible from the public. To vote for Alison Gagne, go to the Extreme Huntress website: www.ex-

tremehuntress.com and click on the Voting 2017 link. From there scroll down and find her picture along with her essay The direct link to Gagne’s voting profile is www.extremehuntress. com/main/alison-gagne/ You must enter a

valid email address in order to vote (Gagne says they will not spam you), and click “vote.” People must confirm their vote through a confirmation email from “Extreme Huntress” to make the vote official. If Gagne makes it into the Top 6, then in July

she will head to Texas to compete against five other women in headto-head outdoor skill challenges for six days that will be filmed and presented in more than 20 episodes. More voting will take place with each episode, and the Extreme Huntress 2017

winner will be determined in January, 2017, by the judges and combined over all voting scores. The Townsman will follow Gagne’s adventures as the “Extreme Huntress” moves forward.

Employee pleads guilty Continued from page 1

The owner said he had noticed that a significant number of company cheques had been deposited in the employee’s personal account. The business owner told RCMP that the amount was currently over $166,000. After an internal Forensic Audit was conducted for the company, it was determined the employee was creating false customers and writing cheques in her name, and was also receiving unauthorized payment from the company. As a result of the audit it was determined that over $225,000 was taken over a seven-year period. On May 10, 2016, Kari McLean was handed down a two year Conditional Sentence Order, along with an order to pay back the money she took. “To a small business owner, for that amount of money to go missing

in that short amount of time is devastating,” RCMP said in a press release Thursday. “The successful conclusion of

this file, and the subsequent order for McLean to pay back $225,000 will hopefully ensure the business is able to thrive once again.”

Jesus, the Cross and Politics

don’t usually write about politics, since it can land me in a heap of trouble. But honestly — this time, I can’t resist. This is too important. I don’t believe anyone could have missed it: Donald Trump is the only guy left in the race for the Republican Party’s nominee for president. He seems to have locked the nomination up. Everyone else is gone.’ As an aside, scary as Trump is, Ted Cruz is even scarier. Cruz is a reconstructionist, a Christian who holds to the fundamentalist belief that modern societies ought to be governed by the law of Moses. This modern understanding of Mosaic law is nothing less than the Christian form of Islamic sharia law. You can see the problem. What’s even scarier about reconstructionists is that anyone who deviates from their understanding is to be condemned. Needless to say, I’m glad Cruz is out. Can you imagine him with his fingers on the pulse of power? At the same time, I’m still terrified by a Trump candidacy. It has become commonplace to compare what Trump is doing with what Hitler and Mussolini did in the 1930’s. In some ways, that kind of comparison is not very helpful. But that doesn’t change the fact that the comparison works for a reason. As those fascist leaders appealed to the worst in the German and Italian character, so Trump appeals to the worst in the American character. Trump’s campaign has incited horrific violence against black and queer people, and also against women. Trump has directed a stream of foul invective against women. He has attacked female candidates in the Republican race, female news anchors, and now he’s ramping up his attacks on Hillary Clinton. His diatribes have nothing to do

with their ability or qualifications. It’s a pure stream of hatred and invective. Aside from his hatred, lewdness, and blatant dishonesty, aside from the fact that he has advocated for torture and war crimes, aside from his obvious hatred of women, Trump is the precise opposite of the teachings of Jesus. Trump is, quite literally, an anti–Christ. He stands in direct opposition to everything Jesus Christ taught us to do. Pope Francis was right when he Rev. Yme said that “a person who thinks only about building Woensdregt walls ... and not of building bridges, is not Christian.” Trump tells us that we must fear and hate our enemies. Jesus tells us to love and forgive our enemies, and to radically resist oppression by turning the other cheek. Trump is a xenophobic hate–monger who tells us to ostracize or exile those who look different, who act different, who believe different. We should barricade them behind a wall. Jesus tells us that all people are our neighbors, and that our example is the Good Samaritan who sacrificially brought aid to a stranger. Trump is a bully who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Jesus calls on us to love our neighbours and to put ourselves in their place as we seek to try and understand them. I understand how powerful Trump’s appeal can be. He wants to “Make America Great Again”, appealing to the fear and loss that Americans have felt as the American Empire dwindles in the eye of the world. It’s the same demagoguery practiced by Hitler, who promised that the Third Reich would last for 1,000 years. Germany would no longer be weak. In the same way, Americans feel threatened, and they want someone who can

promise them security. Trump does that, he exposes the ugly underbelly of America’s greedy for power, for control, for prestige, for wealth, for domination. But Jesus invites us to walk a different path. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies, to welcome those who are different than us, to walk in the ways of reconciliation rather than the ways of estrangement and alienation. Jesus invited us to knock walls down rather than building them up. Jesus reached out to the whole world with a message of radical love and inclusion. For Jesus, there are no outsiders. None are beyond the reach of love. None can resist God’s grace and love. We can’t write anyone off as being unimportant. All people, all creatures, are included within what Martin Luther King Jr. called “the beloved community.” Trump proclaims the bad news of white supremacy and misogyny and xenophobia. He hates those who are different than us. Trump believes he can bully those who are weaker or those who cannot speak for themselves. Jesus reminds us again and again that in God’s economy, no single person, no single creature, is expendable. In God’s economy, all are welcome. In God’s economy, the rich are called precisely to take care of those who are tired or poor or anxious or homeless. Trump believes that only those who make it on their own are worth anything. “I’m very rich, you know,” he proudly proclaims. And every act he does, every word he speaks, goes on to indicate that everyone who isn’t rich is worthless. As for me, I’ll subscribe to #NeverTrump. The guy is just plain scary.

OPINION/FEATURES

Trolls: Just can’t drop the Us vs. Them

ow that the caterwauling south of the border has quieted somewhat, let’s turn our attention to home. Today, we will discuss the constant way people from both sides of the political spectrum can take a situation that has nothing to do with politics and try to make a point with it. It’s been a horrific week and a half in Alberta but that hasn’t stopped the internet chatter — my goodness, no. This disaster, which has brought out the best in so many people, has brought out the worst from the chattering classes of the internet — the trolls. Case in point, no sooner did Fort McMurray residents begin to evacuate than mutterings of ‘karma’ appeared on Twitter and Facebook. Yes, people fleeing a horrific fire deserved it because …

oil sands. Nice. But before those of you who didn’t yell karma get too self-satisfied, we will turn to those who began criticizing Alberta Premier Rachel Notley before she even had time for a second briefing on the situation. Yes, the trolls were convinced that this wouldn’t be happening — or would be handled better — if there were a different government because … NDP. Root of all evil, you know. Prime Minister Trudeau, always a handy target, is taking a beating in internet memes for not visiting Fort McMurray. Firstly, these are the same trolls who would be screaming at him for an insincere photo op should he

make the trip. Secondly, when Steven Harper visited Slave Lake in the midst of its crisis five years ago he was jumped on for interfering with the fire fighters just to get, you guessed it, an insincere photo op. We are also seeing people online Carolyn whining about Grant how the oil sands businesses are being ignored in the media and the good work they are doing is not mentioned. Many are jumping on this bandwagon. Trouble is, it’s not true. I have been reading a fair bit of coverage on the situation and I have to say I have seen and heard numerous stories about the marvellous contributions being made by the companies which work the oil sands. Even Premier

Notley (the personification of evil, remember) has made it a point to mention their contributions at numerous press conferences. But it’s so much more fun to just ignore that and keep pushing an untruth. It is at times of hardship that we should be forgetting about us versus them and just thinking us. We can all help and we are all finding ways to do that, whether donating to the Canadian Red Cross or doing something more tangible like ferrying supplies up to northern Alberta. This is the kind of help our good neighbours need right now. This fire, and the huge disaster that came after was not anyone’s fault. Unless it turns out to be human caused, then it was the fault of an idiot. But this isn’t a political prob-

lem, though politicians present a tempting target most of the time. It’s not an oil sands problem. There are millions of hectares of forest in Canada and at times, they burn. It’s Mother Nature’s way of rejuvenating said forest. This fire could have burned anywhere. That it threatened a community like Fort McMurray is a tragedy, not karma. So I say to you who seem to want to make a political statement about a natural disaster, or blame a political party for something completely beyond their control shut up. Just shut up and keep on shutting up. When it’s time to stop shutting up I will let you know, but that time is not now, so shut up.

The Cranbrook Auditorium: Part I JANUS: Cranbrook Then & Now

Jim Cameron

PHOTO AUTHOR’S COLLECTION

Norbury (10th) Avenue looking south sometime after 1911. Left: The Hanson Block and the Cranbrook (York) Hotel. Right: the Post Office, the Palm Confectionery (now High Country Sports) and the two-storey Cranbrook Auditorium.

he city of Cranbrook wanted to be a lot of things in 1907: an industrial, mining, lumbering, agricultural, commercial, entertainment, cultural, railway, tourist, hunting, fishing, sports and legislative centre were all on the collective list. What Cranbrook was at the time, among other things, was seven hotels, one hospital, two newspapers, two banks, one school, a curling/skating rink, a tennis court, a golf course, an electric works, a telephone office, a waterworks, a fire department, a number of small businesses, some livery stables, a CPR depot, numerous lumber mills, a brickyard just outside of town, at least 40 square blocks of houses of all shapes and sizes and a population of 3,000 people. The summer of 1907 saw the original Cranbrook Hotel moved south across the alley to become the Annex while construction began on the present day structure. On the opposite end of Baker Street the city’s first courthouse was nearing completion and, across the tracks a large addition to the St. Eugene Hospital was under construction. It was enough to satisfy at least some of the hopeful citizen’s dreams of the future. Still, for others, the announcement in the Herald newspaper of April 25, 1907, must have been promising:

“The theatre going public in Cranbrook will no doubt be pleased to learn that arrangements have been completed for the erection of a $12,000.00 opera house.” Undoubtedly, for those of a cultural bent, things were certainly looking up. There was, in fact, a theatre-going audience in town at the time, but the problem was that there was not really a theatre to go to. There were a few small, private halls that sometimes served as playhouses, the most notable being the Wentworth Hotel Hall on Baker Street, for a time referred to as the Wentworth Opera House, but no real theatres. Thus, when the unlikely quartet of druggist Robert E. Beattie, tobacconist Sam-

uel J. Mighton, Canadian Hotel owner Joseph Brault and hardware store owner John G. McCallum undertook to finance the construction of an actual opera house on Norbury Avenue there were undoubtedly some in town who happily unloosed tuxedos and gowns and dusted off the pearls and lorgnettes in preparation of things to come. As it turned out, opera was about the last thing to make an appearance, but no matter, Cranbrook would soon have a place that for the next 44 years would serve as a veritable melting pot of local culture and entertainment. From vaudeville to drama, from fancy balls to rip-roaring late night hollers, from lectures, dinners,

meetings and conventions to boxing matches, auto shows, revivals and all things in between, the Cranbrook Auditorium, as it soon came to be known, would host it all. By all accounts, the auditorium was not a fancy building — and it is almost solely by accounts that one must describe the place as it would seem that no proper photographs of the exterior have yet come to light. Thus, with the exception of its partial appearance in a few long shots of the entire street, the actual facade of the Cranbrook Auditorium remains rather anonymous over the years. Nor was there much description as to its appearance when it was originally constructed. Suffice to say it was made of wood with little exterior

decoration. As to size, the present day Armond Theatre on 10th Avenue, when constructed in 1951 following the demolition of the auditorium, fit quite nicely on the original footprint. The cellar was excavated and the foundation completed by late May, 1907, under the guidance of local contractor George Leask who, it may be added, built a whole lot of Cranbrook in the day. The building itself was 45 feet wide by 100 feet long. The theatre portion constituted 45 feet by 45 feet with a 30-foot by 40foot stage and a 23-foothigh arched ceiling to accommodate an upper viewing gallery. The space also included five dressing rooms, a properties room and, it is pre-

sumed, a lobby. Heated by two furnaces, it was promised that the house [theatre] would be made modern in every way in a manner that would give the people every convenience and comfort. “It will be the finest and most cosey opera house west of Winnipeg,” declared the Prospector newspaper, which the publication later downsized to “one of the best in the interior of the province.” The seating capacity was somewhere between 800 and 900 with new, comfortable opera chairs and decent acoustic properties, a necessity in a time before the microphone became commonplace, and scenery (stage backdrops) painted by Charles Miner of Chicago. Contractor Leask pushed the work along at a rapid rate. The roof went on in July and the building was mostly completed when it was officially opened on Tuesday, August 13, by former mayor and grocer G.T. Rogers. “The people of Cranbrook have reason to feel grateful to the public spirited individuals who are building the new opera house. Such a building has been wanted for a long time in this town, and now that one is being built the people can feel still better when they know that no expense is being spared to make the house one of the best … That is the Cranbrook way, you know,” said the Herald of July 18, 1907. Cranbrook people were undoubtedly grateful, if for no other reason than the fact that it wasn’t their tax money building it. How grateful, in terms of attendance, remained to be seen.

The thing about options is...

Bowen Byram & Kootenay Ice prove Western Hockey League Bantam Draft can be a complex beast

Photo submitted

Cranbrook native Bowen Byram, pictured with the Lethbridge Golden Hawks, was passed over by his hometown Kootenay Ice. But the evidences suggests there may have been good reason.

he Western H o c k e y League Bantam Draft is a complex beast, especially for kids weighing their options and mapping their future. Yes, we are talking about kids as old as 15, some as young as 14 years, tasked with the challenge of making a major life decision with immense pressure

Taylor Rocca weighing down upon them from every discernible direction. On the flip side of the equation, WHL franchises are presented with an opportunity to

brighten their future by adding a young thoroughbred to the stable. A miss step can leave any club reeling before falling behind in the annual horse race towards the WHL post-season. The aforementioned shouldn’t come as news to anyone who follows major junior hockey in Canada, but what I’m working towards might surprise some fans and

citizens in Cranbrook. Before we proceed further, a key point in all of this is that when any prospective player signs a standard player agreement with any WHL club, they immediately forfeit eligibility to play NCAA college hockey south of the border, as the NCAA considers Canadian major junior hockey players to be paid athletes and not amateur athletes.

Back to the matter at hand. I was fortunate enough to travel to Calgary last week, where I attended the 27th annual WHL Bantam Draft at the swanky Hotel Arts in the city’s bustling downtown core. I caught up with a few other members of the media from varying Western League markets prior to the festivities. Over and over, I was asked the question, or perhaps provided with the statement: “So the Kootenay Ice are going to take Bowen Byram, right?” In those moments, I answered truthfully, which was to say I had no idea. Holding the first-overall pick at the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, the Kootenay Ice carried full control and power at the top of the board heading into the annual restocking of the proverbial cupboards. Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, was keeping his cards close to his chest heading into the draft. Garnet Kazuik, director of scouting for the Kootenay Ice, also remained tight-lipped prior to the big day. And who could blame them?

Having been burned by defenceman Griffin Mendel, their most recent first-round pick, who went 11th overall at the 2014 bantam draft before opting for the NCAA Division I route via the University of Denver, Chynoweth and Kazuik had every reason to not only explore every viable option but to also be very careful in doing their homework along the way.

Meanwhile, back in Cranbrook, town was abuzz with high hopes for the triumphant selection of defenceman Bowen Byram, a locally-grown talent having long been subject of conversation around the league and western Canada as a potential top-end selection, be that first-overall or, at the very least, well within the top five. Eventually, the proceedings get underway and the clock begins to tick. Kazuik calls the name of Okotoks native Peyton Krebs with the first-overall selection. Just like that, the dreams of so many Kootenay Ice fans in Cranbrook are dashed. Next, the Saskatoon

Blades trade up from third overall, swapping places with the Vancouver Giants in order to grab forward Kirby Dach with the No. 2 selection. Then the Giants tab Byram in the third slot. It’s only a matter of time before texts, tweets, emails and communication come my way, people dismayed with the reality the Cranbrook-based Kootenay Ice opted against selecting hometown talent — Byram — with the top pick. A rapid-fire day eventually comes to a close for me nearly 12 hours after it began, with a story filed on Krebs becoming the top pick in Kootenay Ice franchise history since the celebrated Jarret Stoll (1997) and another on Byram’s calling to the Lower Mainland. Remaining in Calgary for the weekend, I continued to hear the cries from Cranbrook all the way across the Rockies, easily droning out the hustle and hurry of a city constantly on the run. “I can’t believe the Kootenay Ice didn’t select Bowen Byram!” “How did the Kootenay Ice not select Bowen Byram?” “The Kootenay Ice passed on a good Cranbrook kid. What a shame.”

The plan is for more practice in game situations at game speed, in order to become “comfortable being uncomfortable.” During the 2015 American Legion Base-

ball season, the Bandits went 20-23-1 including 4-5 in one-run games. “Being able to win more of those games we lost by one run over the last two years, playing over .500, everyone doing their job, understanding it and being able to execute it is the next level for us,” Mrazek said.

The annual Loggertown Wood Bat Classic features an eight team round robin. After this weekend’s season-opening tournament in Libby, the Bandits return home and will host Trail for a doubleheader in the team’s home opener Saturday, May 21, at Confederation Park in Cranbrook.

WHL Bantam Draft is a complex beast

Rather than celebrating the selection of a young, budding star with immense promise — Krebs put up an eye-popping 102 points in 27 games playing Bantam AAA with the Rocky Mountain Raiders — fans and citizens in Cranbrook were focused on the negative, bemoaning the big miss of Byram. The first person on my call list upon my return was Shawn Byram, a former Western Leaguer himself, and the father of young Bowen. After having spoken to Bowen on draft day, I was of the impression he was elated to be selected by the Giants. Father Shawn confirmed that to me, but with a significant catch — the Byram family is not yet committed to the Western Hockey League route. Bowen is

taking plenty of time to weigh all of his hockey options moving forward. Talk about a curveball. Shawn goes on to explain he simply wants what is best for his son, both in life and in hockey. Sounds pretty fair to me. I don’t have a child, but I can tell you now when I do, I will most certainly want what is best for him or her, without question. I imagine most other parents out there feel the same. In the interest of full disclosure and fairness to each and every team around the WHL, Shawn shared the stance of his family prior to the proceedings of lastThursday’s bantam draft in Calgary — buyer beware. This wasn’t about posturing or bluffing in order to land his son in a specific market with a

specific franchise. This was about upfront honesty with all 22 member clubs, so each knew the risk involved with selecting young Bowen — the kid might not opt for the WHL route. Let’s circle back. Remember that story I told you off the top about another B.C.born defenceman by the name of Griffin Mendel flying the Kootenay Ice coop? Heck, he didn’t even fly the coop. He never landed. After going 12-53-61, having no first-round selection in 2015 on the heels of the 2014’s flame out involving Mendel, this is a club that absolutely needed to hit not just a home run, but a grand slam with its 2016 first-round pick. You can’t go three consecutive years in the Western Hockey League — which operates with a very clear cut circle of

life as players grow up, age out and move on to Canadian colleges or the professional ranks — without a first-round pick locked in. Bowen Byram carried with him plenty of risk and according to his father, that much was communicated to Chynoweth and the Ice. That major asterisk no longer makes Byram the grand slam everyone in Cranbrook seems to think he was. So can you blame Chynoweth, Kazuik and the Kootenay Ice scouting staff in opting for a more sure thing? I certainly can’t. I realize there’s animosity and varying opinion around town when it comes to the Kootenay Ice and the Western Hockey League. But let’s be clear — the Bowen Byram situation is not something that can be held against

the club fairly. At the end of the day, you have to look out for No. 1. Shawn Byram knows this and his family is acting as such, with son Bowen considering all of the options for his next step in hockey and in life. Is it really that egregious for Jeff Chynoweth and the Kootenay Ice to be doing the same, looking out for No. 1 and ensuring they have a high-end talent to bank on with the first-overall selection? I’d argue a vehement ‘no’ on that. The WHL Bantam Draft is a complex beast. The scenario that played out this year with a rare, high-end Cranbrook product and his hometown team is an object lesson in exactly that. Let’s not get hasty and abandon this team or crucify those making decisions before we have all the facts.

activities thought of as adult disciplines. This is all very good, but in many cases children are missing some important developmental play that has been part of human development from before we first turned a simple stick into a weapon. This play is common in all mammals and many species of birds as well. It is simply roughhousing. In nature animals learn their place in the pecking order of the pack as well as how to fight and hunt. Canines also learn control and how to play rough without weakening the pack by causing injury. It helps animals grow strong and healthy. For humans it does a lot as well. The effect on brain development and creativity rough play has is being looked into and documented. Rough play releases a chemical in the brain called brain-derived neurotropic factor or BDNF according to Therese Borchard in her article on PsychCentral. This chemical stimulates neuron growth within the cortex and hippocampus region of the brain. These parts of the brain controls memory, learning, language and logic. Whoever would have thought a rough game of dodgeball helps kids become smarter? More importantly is the social aspect of rough play between children. Through playing rough children not only learn to be creative and become more physically fit, they also learn skills such as negotiation and develop an ability to play rough with children who are smaller and weaker and not hurt them in that play; in other words playing rough helps kids

develop empathy for one and other. Roughhousing is social, it is physical and it is fun. Rough play between parents or other important adults is also important. Between child and parent it creates a bond of trust and children see care and empathy displayed by the adult playing with them. Playing with adults who could easily hurt them by being too rough teaches children how they should treat younger children and children who are simply smaller and not as physically strong. We learn how to treat each other with respect through healthy rough housing. Another thing about child/adult rough housing is it builds confidence in children when they vanquish their adult “foes”. By letting small children “beat” us in play we build an image of strength and physical prowess in them. This is very important for their self-esteem. Many parents see rough play as violent and negative there are many child behaviourists who are telling us that rough play is not only important, but is absolutely necessary for the healthy development of your child. Roughhousing is part of the development of our species from before we developed the ability to use tools and is part of what has built our survival skills that has kept us alive since our origins as a species. While we want to make sure our children play safe, it is also important to let them play rough and take safe risks. Joel Huncar runs Huncar’s Warrior Arts in Cranbrook

them, Electra splashed a stock photograph of gorgeous young woman with a wide smile behind a clear steering wheel. With one arm over her forehead and one on the wheel, the woman is either grinning or laughing about something, her impossibly white

teeth offset by the sheen of the red lipstick. While the band felt the cover was “way too slick” for their music, and even today express their distaste for “that big grinning face,” Electra had it right. The Cars’ debut album is one of the most recognizable rock albums in the world, all thanks to the woman with “that big grinning face.” Many, many women have adorned countless record covers — most being either stock photographs or hired models who have little to zero relationship with the musical act they are representing. In some cases, a few may have been or later become a band member’s girlfriend. Few have been Russian novelists. Yet that is exactly who Natalya Medvedeva was — besides modelling her pearly whites for The Cars. Born and raised in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), Medvedeva emigrated to the United States in 1975. Her vibrant looks made her a natural for various modelling jobs, including a stint at Playboy magazine. She soon became disillusioned with it, finding the modelling world to be far harsher and crueler than her bleak upbringing in the Soviet Union. She quits modelling altogether to write poetry, which brings her into the sphere of other Russian emigrants, including the political dissident Eduard Limonov, founder of the National Bolshevik Party. The two marry, and move to Paris.

Natalya Medvedeva Her intellectual talents are much more respected in France, and Medvedeva quickly becomes a feature writer for the magazines ‘Figaro Madame’ and ‘L’Idiot International,’ as well as having a scathing book of essays published about her experience as a model titled ‘Otel Kalifornia.’ It is her novels, however, which bring her the most acclaim as one of Russia’s best “new novelists.” Both her ‘Mama Ya Zhulika Lyublu’ (Mama, I am in Love with a Swindler) and ‘Moya Borba’ (My Struggle) are typical examples of novels condemning the Soviet lifestyle of the 1970s, but these are the first to be written by a woman. Her work receives high critical praise in Europe as a “fusion of beauty and repulsiveness, romance and debauchery, innocence and experience.” She followed these with ‘La Reyu Znamenem’ a novel written in verse, ‘Liubov’s Alkogolem’ (Love with Alcohol), ‘A U Nikh Byla Strast’ (And Among Them was Misery), and ‘Zhizn v No future’, a play about bohemians, beauty, and suicide.

cheery a Russian writer as her male counterparts). Her success was not easy for her husband, who referred to her in print as a “bipolar, alcoholic nymphomaniac,” and the two divorced in 1994. While Limonov is left to his cult of protest in France, Medvedeva returns home to Russia. Here she continues to write, and starts to date heavy metal guitarist Sergei Vysokosov, who convinces her to sing for his band. She agrees, as long as she can read her poetry between sets. This turns out to be a bigger hit than either of them expected. The band is ditched in favour of her poetry, and Vysokosov trades in his guitar for a flute. Medvedeva becomes something of a Russian Patti Smith, touring clubs and hotel coffee shops. Or she would have. She passed away in her sleep of a heart attack in 2003. She was 44. The Moscow Times mourned the loss of a cultural icon, with writers and poets expressing their shock and sadness at losing one of their own. “She was a bright spot in our lives,” novelist Vladislav Vasyukhin stated, believing Russia would now “be a lonely place without her.” The tributes and obituary were accompanied by a single image of Medvedeva: her smiling behind the steering wheel on the Cars debut album.

Grasmere citizen to be honoured posthumously Townsman Staff

Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett, on behalf of Premier Christy Clark, will present the family of Grasmere’s Lita Salanski with the province’s newest honour, the Medal of Good Citizenship, in recognition of the late woman’s contributions to her community. The ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. at Triple Tree Ranch in Grasmere on Saturday, May 14. “Our family is proud and

delighted to accept the Medal of Good Citizenship on behalf of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Lita Salanski,” said Shelley Salanski, Lita’s daughter. “She was a wonderful and special lady, and a true matriarch of our family. Her hard work, wisdom, and enthusiasm always inspired us to do well and be helpful toward others. Our family would like to thank the Province of British Columbia for

this prestigious honour, as well as the Triangle Women’s Institute in Grasmere for the nomination.” Salanski passed away in September 2015 and her legacy to her community will continue for future generations. The posthumous honour, to be accept by her family, recognizes the impact she had on Grasmere, its ranching and farming community, educational infrastructure and spiritual foundation through her involve-

ment with the Triangle Women’s Institute (TWI), the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, Canadian Council of Cattlemen, East Kootenay College Board and Grasmere United Church. At the same time Salanski was adjusting to married life, raising a family and building and running a business, she became involved in the many projects of the TWI. Her leadership skills along with her enthusiasm played a major role in TWI’s success

in bringing a modern highway, electric power and telephone to the isolated community of Grasmere. She spent countless hours writing letters, lobbying the government, knocking on doors and selling the idea that the residents of Grasmere were part of British Columbia and needed to have the amenities others took for granted. She was passionate about the need for education and became a local school board trustee and later became the

chairman of the board. Salanski was a founding member of the East Kootenay Community College board and later an honorary member of its board. She worked to improve the economy of the area through her involvements in local farming organizations, leading her to become the first female president of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association. She also served on the Canadian Council of Cattlemen board.

Bluesman extraordinaire Harpdog Brown (pictured in touring trio format) hits the stage at the legendary Byng Roadhouse in Cranbrook, Friday, May 20. Standing as Canada’s best blues-harmonica virtuoso (on par with Carlos del Junco), Brown has been a highly-popular mainstay on the Vancouver blues scene since the 1980s; with Juno Awards and Maple Blues Awards under his belt, he and his band have performed thousands of shows across Canada, the United States, and Western Europe (and recorded a half-dozen albums, as well). Along with his technical prowess on the blues harp, Brown is a great songwriter and performer, with a powerful multi-octave voice and winning rapport with audiences. Brown’s Byng performance marks his first appearance in the East Kootenay, and is not to be missed for lovers of electric blues.

*Contest ends June 30, 2016. One grand prize available. Full details in branch and at kscu.com.

College of the Rockies Student Wins Big Award Submitted

College of the Rockies’ University Studies – Science student, Kara Froese, is the recipient of a life-changing entrance award from UBC – Vancouver. The Centennial Leaders Entrance Award was created to celebrate UBC’s 100th year. Recipients are academically qualified students who wish to attend UBC but who would not be able to without significant financial assistance. Consideration is also given to applicant qualities such as leadership skills, involvement in student affairs or contribution to community service, recognized achievement in fields such as performing arts, athletics, debating or creative writing and achievement in math or science competitions or examinations. As a recipient of the Centennial Leaders Entrance Award, Froese’s tuition, books and living expenses (including a meal plan) will be covered – up to $20,473 per year – for the remaining three years she

skills preparation she received at the College will help to ensure she meets her goals. The British Columbia Council on Admission and Transfer (BCCAT), which looked at students who transferred to a degree-granting institution between 2008 and 2012, found that stu-

dents who began at the College before transferring to university graduated with a higher grade point average (GPA) than students from most other BC colleges and universities. Further, 85 percent of College of the Rockies transfer students completed their degree – the highest completion

Kara Froese needs to complete her Bachelor degree. “I am so overwhelmed to be receiving this award. It is 100% an answer to prayer. It means that I can pursue the degree of my dreams without stressing over having to work or taking out student loans,” Froese says. “I feel very humbled but also very determined to not let this blessing go to waste.” Froese, who was a member of the College’s 2015/16

PACWEST Championship winning women’s Avalanche volleyball team, was also the recipient of a PACWEST Academic Excellence Award and a CCAA National Scholar Award in the 2015/16 season. A University Studies – Science student at the College for two years, Froese will be transferring to UBC to complete a Bachelor of Science in Forest Science degree.

Lessons for a long, Healthy Life By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

Blue zones are the areas of the world that have the highest concentration of people that live to be over 100 years old (centenarian) and do so while maintaining a high quality of life. The five blue zones that have been identified are Sardinia, Italy; Okinawa, Japan; Loma Linda, California; Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica and Icaria, Greece. Most of the centenarians are still physically active and have been shown to suffer significantly less from chronic illnesses that we common find in North America such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, autoimmune conditions and cancer. Researchers have found that these communities share many similar traits that may reduce the risk of chronic disease and improve overall longevity as well as quality of life. One major factor that these areas have in common is diet which consists mainly of plant based foods high in flavonoids, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. A main staple of the blue zone diet includes legumes which are high in fibre helping with digestion, detoxification and blood sugar regulation. Their diet consists of only 1-10% animal protein and total protein makes up only 15% of their 1800 calories per day. The rest of the calories are broken down to 60-75% complex carbohydrates and 15-20% fat with slight variations between the 5 regions. To put that in context, carbohydrates make up only 40% of the standard North American diet with the average intake of fibre being 12 grams per day. The recommended daily intake of fibre is 35 grams and the optimal intake being 50-80 grams per day based on the Blue Zones. These areas in one way or another also grow some or all of their own food. Other traits that the Blue Zones share that are important to health and longevity include daily physical activity, social engagement, close knit family and less smoking. Food is a powerful medicine that can be easily utilized at home to prevent and treat many different illnesses. Adding all of the characteristics together can be the recipe for a long, healthy life free of chronic illness.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll feel more and more excited as the weekend approaches. You could feel tense about putting yourself on the line, but you will do it anyway. You’ll find that others are more receptive than you might have thought. Tonight: Have a long-overdue chat with a higher-up. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You are energized and ready to take action. Your personal life becomes a high priority, and your decisions reflect those changes. Your perspective changes when you detach enough to see the big picture. Express your kinder feelings. Tonight: Your pad is where the party is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might want to consider a change of pace. You will be happy with the same old patterns, but you will be even happier with a variation to the routine. Excitement often surrounds newness. Weigh the pros and

cons of a tense situation. Tonight: In the limelight. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Recognize the importance of security when making financial decisions. Uncertainty in that area could undermine you even more than you are aware. Be willing to put yourself on the line. Listen to suggestions, but don’t feel the need to accept others’ advice. Tonight: Happy at home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You tend to think one way yet act in a different manner. You, as well as others, might wonder what you really want to express. How you present yourself can vary depending on your mood. Know that you could be sending mixed messages. Tonight: Beam in what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Remain sensitive to what is being shared, and be sure to read between the lines. Often there is underlying significance attached to words that need to be spoken and are not. Take your time formulating what you feel might be going on. Tonight: Get to the

bottom of a problem. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your words will not fall on deaf ears, although several people might not give you immediate feedback. Unexpected actions surround a meeting and/or a statement you have made. A friend will support your cause, as he or she always does. Tonight: Count on being out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your ability to get past an immediate issue emerges. Your insight will come into play in a community setting. Others might not always agree with you, but your ability to get to the bottom of an issue will make all the difference. Tonight: Light up the night sky. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Give up the somber exterior, and go for a more direct and caring statement and/or action. Others value your self-expression, so try to be more open. Use care with a money matter. Your perspective could be in the process of changing. Tonight: Follow the music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Figure out how to get past some-

one’s natural resistance. You understand what it means to feel vulnerable, so you will be able to offer your empathy. Allow this person the space to open up, and he or she is likely to share his or her feelings. Tonight: With a favorite companion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others who are determined to have what they want, no matter how logical and willful you might be. Use this spare time, where you are no longer in the limelight, to do something just for you. Tonight: A friend who wants your attention knocks on your door. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Dive headfirst into what needs to be done, and clear your mind as well as your desk. Fatigue surrounds detailed work and endless tasks. Do your best to take care of what you must. Be diplomatic if you want to be heard. Tonight: Visit with an older friend or loved one. BORN TODAY Ohio Gov.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’d like to fix the relationship between my fiancee and my mother before things get out of hand. My fiancee, “Beth,” fixates on instances where she feels my mother has slighted her. For example, Beth calls me by a shortened version of my name, a nickname my mother hates and has ranted on about. My mother has also raved about the many talents and successes of the friends I had in high school (a decade ago) while only complimenting Beth on how “cute” she is (something that annoys Beth to no end.) I either don’t recognize these issues in the moment, or I’m not present when they happen. I have told my mother how much Beth means to me and asked her directly whether there is something she doesn’t like about her, but it’s made no difference. Mom has a tendency to run at the mouth and I’m not convinced she thinks about how her words impact those around her. I can understand why Beth feels animosity from Mom. Both my family and my fiancee are extremely important to me. Beth gets along with the rest of my family, but it seems that every interaction with my mother leads to hurt feelings. I would suggest a direct conversation between the two, but that possibility seems remote. How can I improve this relationship before it reaches a breaking point? -- Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck: First we commend you for recognizing how damaging this dynamic is and making an effort to fix things. Your mother sounds jealous with her unflattering comparisons and subtle criticisms. But Beth seems insecure and overly focused on slights, intentional or not. Please talk to them separately. Tell your mother firmly that she must accept your fiancee or she will be the one to lose out. Explain that she raised you well, so she should trust your choice in a life partner. Add that getting along with Beth means having another person to love, and more access to you and future grandchildren. Then speak to Beth. Tell her that Mom is anxious, and fearful that she is losing her son. She needs reassurance, tolerance and patience. Make sure Beth understands that you love Mom and aren’t going to cut ties. But if the two of them refuse to accept one another, there is nothing wrong with visiting Mom on your own and letting Beth stay home. Dear Annie: A while back you had a letter from “Stuffy in the Suburbs,” who complained that her neighbor smoked on his back porch, and the smoke wafted into her bedroom. She liked to sleep with the windows open and her husband was allergic to the smoke. A cheap, easy solution to the problem is to buy a window fan and direct the flow outward. There’s no incoming smoke, and you get a nice breeze along with some white noise to aid slumber. -- Shreveport, Louisiana Dear Shreveport: We also recommended a fan, but we didn’t mention the added benefit of the white noise. Thanks for the helpful postscript. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Aboriginal elders brought a Coast Salish talking stick into the B.C. legislature this week, in a solemn ceremony that had little lasting effect on the heckling and interruptions of political debate in Victoria. A replica of the totem pole on the grounds of Government House, the ornate stick represents the right to speak and receive a respectful hearing in aboriginal tradition. It was carved by Songhees artist James Delorme and presented to former Lieutenant Governor Steven Point in 2011 at a ceremony to mark the official naming of the Salish Sea. Current Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon was on hand May 11 to present the stick to B.C. legislature Speaker Linda Reid, with a ceremonial prayer in the SENCOTEN language by elders Elmer George and Mary Anne Thomas. “We present it to everybody this House but also to everybody that may come through these doors in the future,” said Chief Ron Sam of the Songhees Nation. Reid said in a state-

B.C. government

Elder Elmer George, Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, Speaker Linda Reid and Elder Mary Anne Thomas welcome Coast Salish talking stick to the B.C. legislature chamber. ment the talking stick will remain in the legislature until the next election in May 2017. After the ceremony,

Reid continued her struggle to maintain order in the rancourous debate of question period, which has declined

more frequently into shouting matches as the next election approaches.

Fort McMurray’s fire chief gets a rest as city moves toward recovery C anadian Press

EDMONTON - The man who has been the face of the fire fight in Fort McMurray is taking some time off. Wood Buffalo fire Chief Darby Allen says work in the community is moving toward recovery and that’s not his expertise.

He says he will be heading south to Edmonton to have a beer and spend some time with his wife and two adult sons. He’s planning to be back in Fort McMurray in about a week to resume his job as fire chief again. Allen has been one of the people leading the battle against the

wildfire that swept into the city last week and his heartfelt updates on social media have made him a celebrity of sorts. More than 2,400 homes and buildings were destroyed in the blaze, but crews under his charge have been credited with saving up to 90 per cent of the city.

WINNIPEG - A Winnipeg man accused of sending letter bombs in the mail, including one that cost a lawyer her hand, has been denied his last chance at bail. A gaunt-looking Guido Amsel showed no emotion during the decision, but his wife left the courtroom in tears. Amsel is charged with three counts of attempted murder after letter bombs were sent to a pair of law firms and to his ex-wife last

summer. Two of the explosives were safely detonated, but one exploded and seriously injured a lawyer who had represented Amsel’s exwife in the couple’s divorce. Amsel was denied bail last fall, but he appealed the decision. A judge upheld the decision, saying Amsel’s bail was denied lawfully. “There is no error in law,” said Justice Chris Martin. Amsel is also facing more at-

tempted murder charges related to the detonation of an explosive device outside his ex-wife’s home in 2013. Amsel is expected to be tried by a judge alone in the coming year.
