Dedicated to healing and culture Robert Williams Presented with the City’s 2015 Sustainable Community Builder Award Monday

B A R RY CO U LT E R

A member of the ?Aq’am (St. Mary’s) band has been named 2015 Sustainable Community Builder Award by the City of Cranbrook.

Robert Williams is a Ktunaxa elder, specialising in archaeology and GIS, whose vision led to the creation of Tipi Mountain Native Plants. Tipi Mountain is the pre-

mier native plant nursery in the Southern Interior/Kootenays. With Tipi Mountain, Williams is known for his leadership in environmental stewardship practices,

and can always be found at the forefront of restoration and reclamation programs, working to ensure plants and animals are left with a habitat to benefit future

generations. “Robert’s dedication to the lands surrounding the entire region is unparalleled,” wrote ?aq’am Chief Jim Whitehead in a nomination letter. “Whether ensul’ing that careful practices are carded out in all aspects of land development, archeology or reclamation, he is a leader in good stewardship practices.” Williams has spearheaded numerous events that bring healing and reconciliation to those around him, and facilitates healing circles for individuals to come together and council each other in a holistic setting

free from judgement. “Robert has dedicated many·hours of his time in an effort to better the lives of members in the community of ?aq’am, as well as First Nation peoples in the territory at large,”wrote Jody Gravelle, Chief Operating Officer for the ?Aq’am Band. As an example, Williams volunteers his time with healing circles, which help individuals find peace from past abuses. He “takes the lead in counselling and supporting those who ask,” Gravelle wrote.

The Great Jackson Pollock Paint-Out was one of the featured events at the inaugural Back Alley Arts Festival in downtown Cranbrook Saturday, May 28. A production of the Cranbrook Arts Council, the event was organized by youth for youth ages 15-25. See Page 10 for a special photo feature.

An Alberta man has pleaded guilty to a home invasion earlier this year in Cranbrook, where a shooting took place. On February 4, 2016, Cranbrook RCMP responded to a home invasion between the 200 and 500 block of 20th Avenue South, where a 35-year-old male had been shot. Initial reports indicated that four unknown males had forced their way into the residence, assaulted several occupants of the house and shot one person. Since February, Cranbrook RCMP members have been working non-stop with partner agencies in both B.C. and Alberta to determine all involved in this shooting and several arrests have been made. James Doyle, of Fort McLeod Alberta, pleaded guilty to Break and Enter With Intent to Commit an Offence. He received six months in

jail and a lifetime weapons prohibition. Three others are still before the courts. A 21-yearold from Lethbridge, Samson Mandefro, is charged with Break and Enter, Aggravated Assault and Robbery. He remains in custody. Two other Calgary residents, a 25-year-old man and a 28-year-old man, are currently in custody in Alberta on charges stemming from that area. Once they are dealt with before the courts in Alberta they will be transferred to B.C. where they will face charges ranging from Break and Enter with Intent, to Aggravated Assault and Robbery. Cranbrook RCMP are still actively investigating and believe more arrests are forthcoming. Anyone with any information regarding these crimes is asked to contact the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

ryn Teneese - Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair, Chief Negotiator for ongoing treaty negotiations and former College of the Rockies student – spoke about the importance of education in creating change and in bringing us all together. She challenged the graduates to read the Truth and Reconciliation Committee’s calls-to-action and to take positive steps to encourage healing between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. Student representative Tony Fisher relayed his experience at the College as a mature, international student, describing his decision to come to College of the Rockies to continue his education as “the smartest thing I’ve ever done – well, apart from marrying my wife.” The ceremony began with the presentation of academic medals. The Lieutenant Governor’s Silver Medal, awarded to a student who has exceled in a vocational or career program and

who contributed in a positive way to life at the College, was awarded to Miguela Minto. Miguela completed the Adventure Tourism Business Operations certificate at the College’s Golden campus. She plans to return to the College in the fall to complete her diploma. Kelsey Hyggen was the recipient of two academic awards: the Governor General’s Bronze Medal and the President’s Award of Excellence. The Governor General’s Bronze Medal is considered to be the greatest honour that can be bestowed upon a graduate of a two-year program. It is awarded to the student who has achieved the highest academic standing upon graduating from a twoyear diploma or associate degree program. The President’s Award of Excellence is made possible through donations from College staff, faculty and management and is presented to a first- or second-year student,

planning to complete a four-year degree at the College or elsewhere, who has achieved the highest cumulative grade-point-average. Kelsey completed the Business Administration Accounting diploma and plans to return to the College to complete the Bachelor of Business Administration: Sustainable Business Practices program before eventually pursuing her Chartered Professional Accountant designation. “It was a great thrill to recognize, along with our Board Chair Wilda Schab, these two worthy recipients,” says Walls. “I am proud of each and every one of our graduates and of the terrific team we have in place at the College that played a part in each of their success stories.” College of the Rockies awarded close to 500 credentials to students throughout 2015/16 academic year. One hundred twenty seven graduates were able to attend Friday’s ceremony.

Gravelle added that Williams makes himself available “to speak to groups and educate them on the history of the lands surrounding us, pictographs and artifact information as well as Ktunaxa legends. “He has been critical in taking the lead in programs to train community members in the practice of archeology setting the highest standards of preserving history.” “Robert’s dedication to the social well-being and preserved culture of the Ktunaxa Nation

has been inspirational,” wrote former Chief Sophie Pierre. The annual award is given to an individual, group, club, agency or society that has contributed to the social, arts/cultural, economic and/or environmental sustainability of Cranbrook. It includes $500 to be donated to a registered charity of Williams’ choice. Williams is choosing to donate the funds to the BC SPCA East Kootenay Branch. “It was quite a surprise when I learned about the award, but

of course I am very humbled and honoured to receive such a distinction,” Williams said. City of Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt and Wayne Eburne, Cranbrook and District Community Foundation (CDCF) President jointly presented Williams with the Sustainable Community Builder Award on behalf of Council just prior to Monday’s meeting. “On behalf of Council, I wish to congratulate Robert on receiving this award,” says Mayor Lee Pratt. “We appreciate his dedication, his leadership and

all of his contributions to Cranbrook and area.” The $500 in funding for the Sustainable Community Builder Award comes from the legacy fund left to the CDCF by the Knights of Pythias, Crescent Lodge #33 of Cranbrook. “We congratulate Robert, and thank him for his committed and determined effort to protect our environment and enhance the health and vitality of our collective community,” says Riley Wilcox, Executive Director of the CDCF.

Teck weathering tough economic conditions, Cranbrook Council hears T RE VO R CR AWL EY

A Teck Resources representative appeared as a delegation before Cranbrook city council on Monday evening, with a message that while times are tough in the mining industry, the company is taking steps to address those challenges. Nic Milligan, Manager— Community and Aboriginal Affairs with the company, gave a brief presentation outlining the state of the company’s operations, both globally and locally in the Elk Valley, as the mining industry—especially for metallurgical coal—has been in flux. According to Milligan’s report, commodity prices in key sectors such as copper, zinc, steelmaking coal and oil are falling due to a decline in demand from emerging markets and significant oversupply. However, breaking down those sectors, the report also added that there is an im-

proved outlook for steelmaking coal, while the oil market is set to rebalance. For steelmaking coal, there are higher price assessments and demand is improving, while closures continue along with supply curtailment announcements in China. “Basically, he gave us an update on what’s happening in their business sector,” said Mayor Lee Pratt, “and how they’re coping with the downturn and the commodity prices and how they’ve trimmed back on their expenses. “It seems like there’s an upswing, the price of coal has increased a little bit again. They’re feeling a little more optimistic moving forward, but they really have to be watching their expenses right now.” The challenge, moving forward, according to the report, will be outlasting the competition; US exports have increased by 30 million tonnes

over the last five years. It also noted that Teck is the last Canadian steelmaking coal company standing, as four have shut down since 2013. To combat some of the conditions in the market, Teck has undertaken a Cost Reduction Program (CRP) in regards to operating costs and capital project deferrals that began in 2013. Those efforts continued into 2015, with actions such as a further CRP of $650 million in spending cuts, 1,000 positions of workforce reduction, and the withdrawal of the Coal Mountain Phase Two expansion.

With annual grow mining revenues of 6.5 billion, the provincial government reaps $170 million in tax revenue. The report also noted that $1 billion annually is spent in B.C. communities—a fact that Pratt is all too familiar with—as the average employee is compensated $125,000 ever year. “They have 382 employees that live in Cranbrook and 92 that live in Kimberley,” said Pratt. “Of course, that’s direct jobs and then there’s probably another, I would safely say 150-200 spinoff jobs related to the Elk Valley mining, so they’re definitely an integral and important part of our community.”

Smiles, cheering and good times were had by all as the Cranbrook Minor Ball U18 girls (BCGEU and MacDonald’s) combined forces to face off against the Mavericks, Cranbrook’s softball entry into the Special Olympics to be held later this summer. Both teams were a little nervous but quickly settled into an evening of fun at the Kinsmen Quad Ballpark. Great plays were made, friendships were forged and ice cream was eaten! The girls hope the players and coaches of the Mavericks have a great time at the Special Olympics and bring home a gold medal for Cranbrook!

Cranbrook City Councillor Norma Blissett is participating in bike to work week by riding her bicycle to Monday night’s city Council meeting. “I’m registered on two teams. When I ride to school I record the kilometres for the Mount Baker team and when I ride to City Council I record the kilometres for the city of Cranbrook team, “ said Councillor Blissett. “Riding my bike to work is just as fast as driving my car. Riding home is definitely slower though, all uphill, but I get there eventually .”

Kimberley hosts B.C. Mine Rescue Competition C AROLYN GRANT

Although Kimberley no longer has an operating mine, it has a rich mining heritage. That’s one of the reasons the Ministry of Energy and Mines asked the city to host the provincial mine rescue competition in 2016 and 2017. The competition is upon on this Saturday as teams from across the province compete in the 61st Provincial Mine Rescue and First Aid Competition at Centennial Hall and Coronation Park. Competition gets underway at 7 a.m. and goes all day until 4 p.m. Teams will compete in simulated rescue

missions and fire fighting. Teams will demonstrate their expertise in emergency response and mine rescue in one of three competitions: Surface Mine Rescue - Teams will compete in extrication, rope rescue, fire fighting, practical skills and first aid. This includes a written exam. Underground Mine Rescue teams compete in obstacle and recovery, donning bench, practical skills and first aid and a written exam. Three person first aid teams will also compete in a demonstration of basic first aid skills in a simulated emergency. There will be lots to see and if you are inter-

ested in taking in some of the competition, organizers advise that parking will be limited as some of the simulated rescue activities will be taking place in the Centennial Hall parking lot. British Columbia’s mining laws require that trained mine rescue personnel and mine rescue equipment be maintained at all mines. Basic mine rescue training courses are conducted at mining properties across the province so that miners have

Kimberley RCMP is fielding calls from residents complaining about suspicious or threatening phone calls from the Canada Revenue Agency. The callers claim to be from the CRA and are looking for information, and threatening arrests if such information is not provided. Kimberley RCMP emphasize that the calls are a sam and that the best thing to do is to hang up. Revenue Canada does not employ

those kind of tactics. Another ploy is for callers to give you a number to call back to verify their identity, the number they give you is them, not the CRA. The police are very aware of the calls and urge residents to stay vigilant. There are a large number of scams out there, they are ever changing and although police actively try and educate the community, there is a need to be careful. Research and question everything.

2017 GRANTS TO NON-PROFITS & PERMISSIVE PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS APPLICATIONS The City of Cranbrook is accepting for the 2017 Grants to Non-Profit Organizations and 2017 Permissive Property Tax Exemptions. Submission periods are as follows: - 2017 Grants to Non-Profit Organizations: June 1 through September 30, 2016 - 2017 Permissive Property Tax Excemption: June 1 through July 31, 2016 If you are eligible applicant and interested in applying for a 2017 grand or permissive tax exemption, please refer to the Municipal Grants link on the City of Cranbrook website www.cranbrook.ca for more information.

Beware fake Canada Revenue calls, RCMP say

an opportunity to learn the skills mine rescue teams require. Once the basic skills are learned, many hours of training and practice are needed to develop a competent mine rescue team that can work together and with other teams to accomplish rescue objectives in the event of a mine disaster. Competitions such as the one in Kimberley this weekend are valuable to teams to make sure their skills are kept sharp.

The Mark Creek Lions Club invite you to join them for the annual Marysville Daze celebration at Lions Park (formerly Central Park) this Saturday, June 4. This will be the second Marysville Daze held in the park, and it proved to be a perfect venue last year.

It all kicks off with a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. Kids’ activities begin at 10 a.m. Spirit Rock will be there with their climbing wall. There will also be performances at the park, including the Kimberley Pipe Band, dancers and singing. There will be a Marysville Daze Market,

IDLEWILD PARK MASTER PLAN PUBLIC WORKSHOP The City of Cranbrook invites the community to participate in the creation of a new Master Plan for Idlewild Park. Last spring over 1000 Cranbrook residents enthusiastically participated in the Idlewild Park Community Survey identifying how the park is used, and priorities for improvements. The Master Plan team is building on that valuable input as part of the Idlewild Master Plan process. A workshop will be held on Tuesday June 7, 2016 from 6:00 - 8:30pm at the Memorial Arena in the warm viewing room. The event will provide an opportunity for community members to share perspectives on what makes Idlewild Park special, generate a vision and ideas for park improvements, and discuss how partnerships in the community can bring the vision to life.

But if this year’s Games had been scheduled for somewhere in West Africa two years ago, when the Ebola outbreak was nearing its peak, they would certainly have been called off. So should the Olympic Games scheduled to begin in Rio de Janeiro on 5 August be cancelled, moved or postponed? The health risk in Brazil’s case is the Zika virus, transmitted by mosquito bites, which appeared in the country two years ago. It causes only a mild fever, if any at all, but it has been linked to a huge increase in the number of cases of microcephaly, in which babies are born with small, underdeveloped brains. Some die; most survive, but with moderate to severe learning difficulties. The 4,700 cases of microcephaly in Brazil since last October (vs. 150 in all of 2014) suggest that the country has a big public health problem, but the Zika virus hardly compares with the Ebola virus, which kills half the people who become infected. Yet 152 health professionals from around the world have now signed an open letter demanding that the Brazil Olympics do not go ahead as scheduled. The letter, addressed to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and published on Friday, was initiated by Prof. Amir Attaran of the University of Ottawa. “Sports fans who are wealthy enough to visit Rio’s Games choose Zika’s risks for themselves,” he said, “but when some of them return home infected, their fellow citizens bear the risk too.”

The WHO and the IOC immediately rejected his proposal, the former pointing out that the Olympic visitors, expected to number between 350,000 and 500,000, are only a small fraction of the 6 million visitors to Brazil each year — and and that 9 million Brazilians, potentially already carrying the Zika virus, travel abroad each year. Why focus specifically on the Olympics? Because, says Dr. Attaran, the Olympic athletes and tourists will include Gwynne many people from countries whose citizens would Dyer not normally visit Rio. Some of those countries have poor public health services and warm climates, but are still Zika-free: “It cannot possibly help to send a half-million travelers into Rio from places that would not normally have strong travel connections with Rio and therefore set up new dissemination channels.” Ah, says WHO, but there should be relatively few mosquitoes in Rio in August, which is mid-winter in Brazil. Yes, but dengue fever, which is transmitted by the same mosquitoes, is up this year, says Attaran. Federal troops are spraying for mosquitoes, and neighborhood health inspectors have been tasked with eliminating standing bodies of water where they are known to breed, says the government. Do you really believe that the Brazilian government is capable of eradicating mosquitoes in Rio even temporarily?, asks anyone who has ever had contact with Brazilian bureaucracy. So the argument goes, back and forth, and it’s getting ugly. Prof. Attaran has even publicly accused the WHO of defending the IOC because the two organisations have officially been

in partnership since 2010: “It is ignorant and arrogant for the WHO to march handin-hand with the IOC.” And there is a lot of money on the table. The Brazilian government is spending $10 billion on the Olympics and there’s another $3 billion at risk in various media and service contracts, very little of which will be covered by insurance if the Games are cancelled. So much of the insistence that all will be well is certainly driven by concern about the money that would be lost. The risk of spreading the Zika virus to some countries that would probably not otherwise get it until much later is real and relevant, because work is underway on a vaccine and a year or two could make a big difference. But let’s be realistic: the Rio Olympics cannot be moved in the time that remains and will not be cancelled or postponed. So what should be done? Dr. Lawrence Gostin, director of the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University, has the answer: “What is urgently needed is for the international community, led by the WHO, to declare an all-out war on the mosquito population in Rio.” A concerted, well-funded effort under close international supervision could reduce that population to near zero, at least for the time that the Olympics last. That has not yet happened, mainly because it would be humiliating for Brazil to admit that it cannot do it on its own. Given the internal political crisis raging in the country, it will be hard to find a senior politician in Brasilia with the guts to ask for that kind of help. But it’s time to go looking for one.

NCAA season ends at Nationals for du Toit, Sun Devils Kimberley golfer and Arizona State men’s golf team eliminated from contention at Eugene Country Club

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Jared du Toit’s first campaign with the Arizona State Sun Devils men’s golf team came to an end Monday evening at the 2016 NCAA National Championship at Eugene Country Club in Oregon. Battling difficult conditions, including high winds and fast greens, the Sun Devils scrapped to a ninth-place finish after the fourth round of stroke play action at the par-70, 7,014-yard Eugene Country Club, narrowly missing out on a berth into the Match Play Championship. The top eight teams in the stroke play event advanced to the Match Play Championship. “It was definitely tough. There was so much emphasis on this year because we had three seniors and Jon [Rahm] obviously was playing really well,” du Toit said over the phone Tuesday afternoon from just outside Spokane as he made the trek home to Kimberley for the summer. “The goal all year has been to make it to match play. Once you get into match play, you can do work and anything can happen. “Being the first team looking in or first team out, it really stings. It’s tough. None of the boys, including myself, really had good stuff on the final day. If we could’ve just played a little better,

we’d still be there.” Du Toit, a 21-year-old Kimberley product, finished the event tied for 45th after firing a fourround score of 10-over (290 – 72, 73, 71, 74). Despite missing out on match play, du Toit fought right to the bitter end, draining a chip shot from off the green to make birdie on his final hole of the tournament.

“The goal all year has been to make it to match play... Being the first team looking in or first team out, it really stings... If we could’ve just played a little better, we’d still be there. ” Jared du Toit “From a personal standpoint, that golf course really demanded good driving,” du Toit said. “Normally, I’m a really good driver of the golf ball and I didn’t drive it particularly well. That kind of put myself behind the eight ball a

little bit and made it really tough to score. “That course was so firm and fast and so demanding from a ball-striking standpoint and an all-around standpoint. Every shot required so much focus. If you were caught sleeping all of a sudden you make a bogey. You do something stupid and all of a sudden you make another bogey.” In total, du Toit bagged 13 bogeys, two double bogeys and a triple bogey over 72 holes at his first trip to the NCAA National Championship, but did his best to combat the damage with eight birdies and one eagle. All in all, it was an up-and-down weekend for the Kimberley native. “I maybe put a little too much pressure on myself,” du Toit said. “All year on our team, we had three or four guys do a lot of the work. Obviously, Jon [Rahm] did most of the work… I kind of felt that no matter what I did, good or bad, I was going to be a counter. I think I put a little too much pressure on myself and tried to do a little too much, not just relax and play golf. Looking back, I needed to just relax a little bit and not put too much into it.” Sophomore Aaron Wise of the University of Oregon claimed the individual crown with a 72-hole score of five-under par (275).

Peter Vander Stoep Photo/ASU Sun Devils Athletics

Kimberley native Jared du Toit (above) and the Arizona State Sun Devils men’s golf team were eliminated from contention at the 2016 NCAA Golf Championship at Eugene Country Club in Oregon Monday. Rahm, the Sun Devils’ star and World Amateur No. 1, rounded out the tournament and his collegiate career in a tie for third with a fourround tally of one-under par (279). The Match Play Championship, which began Tuesday, will determine the NCAA’s team champion for the season. Advancing to the Match Play Championship were Texas, Illinois, Louisiana State, Southern California, Vanderbilt, host Oregon, South Carolina and Oklahoma. With his first season at ASU now in the books,

du Toit is set to return to Canada for the summer where he will play and train out of the Glencoe Golf & Country Club in Calgary in preparation for a long list of tournaments and events. First on the calendar is a Golf Canada camp and media day in Toronto as a representative on Team Canada’s national amateur squad. From there, du Toit will make tracks across the continent with a variety of events in Rochester, N.Y., San Francisco, Seattle and Saskatoon, just to name a few. “I need to put a little

more effort into actually going out and trying to win the golf tournament rather than just playing, essentially,” du Toit said of his focus this summer. “I’m going to put a little more emphasis into trying to contend and actually believing I can do it. I think all the tools are there. Sooner or later, hopefully I can pull out a fairly big win.” The former Selkirk Secondary School student struck success in his first season under the Arizona sun after beginning his NCAA adventure with the University of Idaho Vandals

men’s golf team. With a top-five finish at the NCAA New Mexico Regional Championship and four top-10 finishes, du Toit earned recognition on the AllPac-12 Second Team as voted upon by Pac-12 Conference head golf coaches. His top-five mark at the New Mexico Regional helped ASU to its seventh regional title in program history (1991, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2009, 2016). Kimberley Golf Club is du Toit’s home track in the East Kootenay.

WHL’s Giants expected to hire Jason McKee as head coach Ste ve E wen Vancouver Province

Scott Bonner is no longer the Vancouver Giants general manager, but it appears a Bonner type will be their coach. Various outlets are reporting the Giants will name Jason McKee, the GM and coach of the AJHL’s Spruce Grove Saints, as their new bench boss at a press conference Thursday. Bonner, who resigned as GM in December and officially left the club in May after helping them prepare for the bantam draft, is a big backer of

McKee, and brought his name to the table when Vancouver had coaching openings the previous two summers. McKee will the be fifth head coach for the likes of forwards Tyler Benson, Ty Ronning, Alec Baer and Thomas Foster. Don Hay left in May, 2014, to accept a job with the rival Kamloops Blazers. Troy Ward replaced him, but lasted just 25 games into the 2014-15 campaign before he was fired and replaced by Claude Noel. Noel parted ways with the club at

the end of the season, and Lorne Molleken was hired last summer. Molleken was fired with two games left in this season. Vancouver missed the playoffs for the third time in four seasons. They haven’t won a playoff series since 2009-10. Giants owner Ron Toigo did the initial interviews this time. Glen Hanlon, who signed on as GM two weeks ago, met with the final candidates, and the team opted for McKee, 37. McKee worked for four seasons as an assis-

tant under Steve Hamilton with Spruce Grove before becoming the club’s GM and coach in 2010-11. Hamilton, who is now running the bench of the Edmonton Oil Kings, is another favourite of Bonner. Hamilton, who was an assistant with the Oil Kings at the time, was one of the candidates that Bonner was politicking for when the Giants were looking to replace Don Hay behind the bench for the 201415 season. Hamilton and the Giants were talking contract for a time, if you

believe the rumours, but a deal never materialized and Hamilton returned to Edmonton and became their head man. Factor in how much they’ve talked about McKee, and how much they spoke with a mentor type of his in Hamilton, and the Giants braintrust should have a solid read on McKee. The players, too, should have some idea of what to expect, since several members of Vancouver’s core group of players, including Benson and Foster, are from Alberta and will

have had buddies who have played for McKee or against him. On the plus side of the ledger as well is the fact his Spruce Grove teams have performed, winning three Alberta titles and finishing second twice. This year’s team went 49-7-4 in the regular season and lost in the league championship to the Brooks Bandits. This year’s Spruce Grove team included three players on the Giants protected list in forwards Brandon Biro and Tyler Busch and goaltender Matthew Murray.

Biro, 18, committed to Penn State, while Busch, 20, is slated to go to Arizona State and Murray, 18, is set for UMass. It will be interesting to see if they change their minds on the NCAA and go the WHL route with McKee’s move. The best news for Giants’ fans is that we’re heading into June, and Hanlon and McKee will have time to prepare for the upcoming season. The Giants hired Ward July 17, 2014, and Molleken June 30, 2015. Both had limited time to get ready for action.

You’ll want to focus on what you want and need. Tonight: Let someone else make the choice. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might need to push past a controlling person. Engaging in this situation will not improve any aspect of your life. Move past the immediate issue, and do what you need to do. Use your high energy to reduce stress by eliminating a problem. Tonight: Head home early. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your creativity soars when facing financial matters that seem rather dicey. Pull back and give the issue at hand a hard look. Work on being realistic, and don’t get caught up in idealistic thinking. Often you can’t see the forest for the trees. Tonight: First return emails and calls. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be more subtle when dealing

with a family member. When you are straightforward, you tend to hit a disagreement. Attempt to understand where the other party is coming from. Your sixth sense comes out during a conversation. Tonight: Visit with a neighbor or close relative. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to do a better job of listening and understanding what others are saying. You could witness an awkward reaction if you don’t acknowledge what you have heard. You need to give more credence to what others say. Tonight: Hang out at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Focus on the long term, and refuse to get derailed by a different topic or activity. You know what you want, and if you pursue the appropriate path, you will land perfectly. Understand what is expected of you, and do your best to make it happen. Tonight: A late dinner. BORN TODAY Actress Marilyn Monroe (1926), actor Morgan Freeman (1937), model Heidi Klum (1973)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Dear Annie: I am planning my wedding, which will take place next year. I have a younger sister who will be a bridesmaid. This sister has been in an on-again, off-again long-distance relationship with a guy for five years now. She lives on one coast, and he lives on the other. Here’s the problem: My sister wants her boyfriend to attend my wedding. I have expressed to her that he isn’t my favorite person to begin with, and I’m not crazy that she’s in a relationship with him. I do not have the guts to tell her that I do not see a future for them because their careers keep them on separate coasts. So, Annie, should invite him because she wants him there? Or do I not invite him because my fiance and I don’t like him. -- Sister Dear Sister: Here’s the way it generally works - if someone is in a committed relationship (married, living together, engaged), the partner always gets invited. If someone has been in a long-term relationship (dating exclusively for six months or more), even if there is no commitment in place, the partner gets invited. They are considered a package deal. We know some folks say it’s YOUR day and if you don’t like someone, you don’t have to invite him. But we think your relationship with your sister is more important that your personal preference in this instance. Even on your big day, family counts, and not inviting this boyfriend could alienate your sister. It’s not worth it. You can be polite when you see him, and still manage to avoid him by concentrating on your new husband and your other guests, as all brides should. Think of it as a gift to your sister. (And if you’re lucky, they’ll be off-again before the invitations go out.) Dear Annie: Thank you for your response to “Widow Who Knows What Her Husband Would Do,” pointing out why her husband’s children have no contact with her after being left out of Dad’s will. My wife died by suicide six years ago when our son was 19. Her death was tragic and we continue to deal with it and try to understand. My wife was an identical twin. My son adored his aunt. My mother-in-law’s trust divided things equally, but shortly after my wife died, my mother-in-law changed her will, leaving everything to my wife’s sister and her children, and nothing whatsoever to my son, her only grandson. We only found this out recently when my mother-in-law passed away. This has been so hurtful to my son, knowing that his grandmother ignored him, but provided for his cousins. It was my sister-inlaw’s influence, and she has since dropped all contact with us. These people were our family. My son loved his grandmother and she adored him. But this is his last memory of her and it changes how he feels, because it tells him exactly how much he was loved. Not enough. -- Hurting for My Son Dear Hurting: How sad that your son will not be able to think of his grandmother or aunt without remembering this betrayal. Our deepest condolences.

Edna was born on the family farm near Leipzig, Saskatchewan to her parents George and Ann Stark on December 15, 1937. Her school years included time in Wilkie and at the Catholic Convent in Leipzig.

Edna met and married John C. Hayes and embarked on a career as a Mounties wife in the far north to several isolated postings in the Yukon and Northwest Territories and eastern Arctic.

MONUMENTS

John, Edna and their children John and Cynthia moved out of the north and settled in Cranbrook in 1972. Edna soon decided to take swimming lessons and eventually worked her way up to head life guard / instructor at the old pool until her retirement in 1999. In 1977 John and Edna moved their family to their hobby farm in Gold Creek where she enjoyed many years of gardening, camping, boating and animal husbandry, mostly including horses. From 1982 until they retired, John and Edna ran the Rusty Buckle Western Shop and enjoyed their yearly entry of horses into the Sam Steele Parade.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week May 29 – June 4

Dav e H u m p h r e y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1905 Hill & Co’s big sale ... Hill & Co. announced by immense posters this week that they would inaugurate a big sale this morning, and as a result the store was crowded before 10 o’clock. This firm has made a sweeping reduction in all lines and in consequence the buying public are rushing in to take advantage of the bargains offered. The stock must be reduced to raise money and the company is offering unprecedented inducements in the way of sacrifice prices. It is evident that the people appreciate a good thing and have little sympathy, for any losses that may be sustained by Hill & Co., as they are filling the store to overflowing and the goods are going over the counters like the water of Mark Creek over the Marysville falls. Veterinary dentistry …. Some of the many symptoms of bad teeth in a horse are slobbering, loss of flesh, weak eyes, and many other symptoms. Stop and notice if your horse has any of these symptoms. If so call phone or write me. I am the only veterinary surgeon in East Kootenay using the celebrated Hausman & Duer improved mouth speculum, electric lights,

stethoscope and up to date veterinary instruments. I treat cattle and dogs also. Dr. C. W. Cross, V. S., Phone 74 Cranbrook, B. C. Great machine … The Canadian Bank of Commerce has put in a machine that is a wonder with figures. It will add up a column of figures that would reach from Cranbrook to Moyie by simply turning a crank, and it is always correct. Milk herd … H. Cameron, of Moyie, was in town this week looking after the shipment of a bunch of milk cows he purchased from R. Lounsbury. Mr. Cameron is getting in shape to operate one of the largest dairies in the Kootenays. Leads inBC … The Prest Studio have just installed lamp so in the future they will be able to take or print pictures at night, on a cloudy day, or any old time. It is the only one in British Columbia. It is funny how Cranbrook leads at all times. Beaten badly … The Fernie football team gave the Cranbrook team a bad defeat last week. The score was seven to nothing. The field was a mass of mud and slime and although the Cranbrook boys could not keep their feet on the slippery stuff it seemed as if the Fernie boys had no trouble. Marriage … Dr. F. W. Green left this afternoon for Stillwater, Minn., where he will be united in marriage to Miss Staples, daugh-

ter of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Staples, on the 10th of the month. The bride and groom will return to Cranbrook sometime in July. On Monday evening Messrs. Beale and Thompson gave a dinner in honor of the doctor, and last evening his partner, Dr. King, did the same. Closed down temporarily …. The work of prospecting on the Upper Moyie that has been carried on this season by Messrs. Baker, Edwards and McEttie has been closed down temporarily owing to a lack of water. Hydraulic works in operation on Perry Creek ... After two years of hard work and the expenditure of a large sum of money the hydraulic works on Perry creek are now in operation. Last Friday the water was turned on and the destruction of the bank of gravel where lies the hidden gold is under headway. E. T. Boynton, of Lacrosse, Wis., one of the large stockholders in the company, has been here the past month waiting for the start. He left for home this week perfectly satisfied with the outlook, and took with him a bottle filled with as fine gold as was ever taken out of the mother earth, about $150 in value, the result of a cleanup from a little patch of old ground that had been worked before. Mr. Trow, the resident manager, is feeling good over the result and says that work will go ahead steadily this season.

All doing well ... The victims of the station accident are all doing well and most of them are on the road to recovery. Benefit ball a success … The benefit ball given on Wednesday evening of last week by the C. P. R. Quadrille club was a great success, financially and socially. There was a large attendance and the next day the managers paid off the mortgage on the home of Mrs. Thompson and gave $48 in cash to that lady and $48 to Mrs. Terry, whose husband has been sick in the hospital for the past year. It is such acts as these that make the world worth living in. Marysville smelter … The long looked for event in this district, the opening of the Marysville smelter, took place this morning. This means a great deal to this district and this piece of news will be a source of great satisfaction to the people generally. New train srvice … Commencing next Monday the C. P. R. will run a daily train to Kimberley from Cranbrook, Sunday excepted. S. Barnhardt will have charge of the train. Poor news writing … The Fernie Free Press was considerably off in its report of the depot disaster in this town. It was unfortunate in its authority. Telephone equipment … An automatic register has been added to the equipment of the central

telephone office this week. For the first three days there were registered 1,850 calls. During eight hours on Tuesday there were registered 494 calls. Catholic social … A very pleasant evening was spent by those who attended the social given in Eagle Hall Wednesday by the ladies of the Catholic Church. The hall was taxed to its full capacity during the evening and the young and old alike enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Excellent music was furnished by Prof. Wilson, violin; Prof. Scherer, piano, and Mr. James Tremhath, cornet. The evening’s receipts were $108. Close call in Fernie … On Tuesday the C. P. R. Depot received a shock which reminded the inmates painfully of the Cranbrook catastrophe. A train standing on the house track while all the trainmen were away to dinner slowly and mysteriously began to back up. The end of the track was soon reached and the cars ploughed through the cinder bed. The planks connecting the freight shed and the platform were torn aside and the cars continued their onward march slowly but surely. Finally they backed up to the steps leading to the depot. These were utterly demolished and the whole building shook violently. It was discovered that the throttle of the engine was leaking, and thus supplied motor power.
