Provincial Mine Rescue competition in Kimberley C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
It was quite a show in Coronation Park last Saturday, June 4 as the Provincial Mine Rescue competition was held. Flames were shooting from some of the underground scenarios set up in the park and large crowds gathered to watch it all. Alan Day from the Ministry of Energy and Mines says it all went very well. “I am very proud of Kimberley and all the support that was given to this event. There were in the neighborhood of 400 people that came into town for this event,” Day said. “I heard very positive things from many of them. They couldn’t get over what a scenic location we are in. The Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre also impressed the crowd. The venue was great and the
service was top notch.” Day said the competition received a lot of support from the Overwaitea Food group as well as generous donation from Dan Jarret of Mark Creek Market. Kimberley even had a team in the competition despite not having an operating mine any more, Day said. “The Sullivan Mine team was a group of skilled mine rescuers that all reside in the area and came-together to form a very professional team. Kevin Redding was a very big part of making a lot of this happen. Dana Haggar, Teck Manager of Dormant properties, also played a very large part in providing additional support for the team and the Ministry of Mines competition coordinators.” And the winners of the 2016 Provincial Mine Rescue competition are: See Page 3

As reported earlier this year in the Townsman/ Bulletin there has been some concern over a
street drug Fentanyl or Fentanyl-type drugs causing overdoses. Fentanyl is reported to be 100 times more potent than morphine. Now there is a new drug causing concern — W-18 — although not much is known about it, or whether it is present in the East Kootenay yet, See W-18 page 5

More than 1,800 new child care spaces should be under construction by this fall, with the latest round of financing from the B.C. government. The $11.3 million budget for this year is the third phase of a child care expansion project funded by the Ministry of Children and Family Development. One of the 30 new or expanded facilities, selected from funding applications received in January, will be in Cranbrook, as the High Peak Early Learning Centre is receiving $22,191 to create 16 spaces for children aged three to five years. High Peak is the initiative of two sisters, Laura Moulton and Carey Henry, who have a bright, newly renovated space leased from — though not affiliated with — the Four Square Church building (the former Central School on 10th Avenue South in Cranbrook). Moulton is trained in Early Childhood Education, specializing in children with special needs, as well as infants and toddlers. Henry has a degree in business. The two decided to pursue their dream of opening High Peak “after hearing yet another complaint about the chronic shortage of child care space in the area.” They accordingly applied for the government funding, and learned last week they had received it. “We worked long and hard, pulling all-nighters to apply,” Henry said. “But we were going to go ahead no matter what.” Moulton and Henry had the space on 10th Avenue in mind from the start. It has a large bright room, and outdoor play area. It’s close to downtown in a nice area, and there is room to expand. Moulton said High Peak is in the process of obtaining its license to operate, and should be ready to open by August. “Our documents have been approved, and the Interior Health Licensing Inspector will be out to inspect the
premises in the coming weeks.” The $22,000 will go towards stocking the centre: tables, toys, beds and such, and will be using natural items — wooden toys for example. As well as this nature-based approach, High Peak will follow the Reggio Emilia Approach to child care. The Reggio Emilia Approach, named after the Italian city where it was developed in the post-war years —is an educational philosophy focused on preschool and primary education, with a strong focus on social communication, working in groups with equal participation, and the principles of respect, responsibility, and community through exploration and discovery. Henry describes it as “changing the future by empowering children.” High Peak will also have a solid focus on nutrition, offering two healthy snacks and a lunch every day. Moulton and Henry added that High Peak really came together through a community effort. “Members of the church volunteered and helped with renovations — to the bathroom facility, new flooring, new paint … and Livingstones Development did major renos, ripping out old walls and old carpet. Everyone was very generous.” For more information on High Peak Early Learning Centre, go to www.highpeakelc.com. The ministry has posted a new child care map on its website to help parents locate facilities. It can be found at maps.gov.bc.ca/ess/ hm/ccf/ The province provides child care subsidies to qualified low-income parents, and covers about 15 per cent of daycare operating costs. But the cost of land and operations drives the price of child care up to $1,400 per month or more in urban areas. Minister Stephanie Cadieux said the province is working with municipalities to review regulations. With files from Tom Fletcher/Black Press

Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a condition where patches of skin become red, inflamed and often times itchy. Scratching of these areas leads to breaking of the skin causing bleeding and infection leading to more irritation. The difficulty in treating eczema comes from the complexity of the causes and identifying the root cause is central to a successful treatment plan. Believe it or not, the most common and most overlooked cause of any skin issue is a dysfunctional digestive tract. Whether it be low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria), imbalanced gut bacteria (dybiosis) or food sensitivities (immune reaction) proper digestion is crucial in the treatment of eczema and one of the first things that we investigate in these cases. Your skin is the largest detoxification organ in your body and if your gut is inflamed from impaired digestion it will most often use the skin as a way to rid the body of any built up toxins or immune complexes that the liver could not metabolize on its own. Conventional therapies typically involve the use of corticosteroid creams and lotions which may help the symptoms initially, but come with the side effects of thinning the skin over time and rebound flare ups when the steroid is discontinued as the root causes have only been suppressed and not addressed. Some common treatments that we use to support digestion and reduce inflammation of the gut and skin include fish oil, zinc/copper, high dose and multi-strain probiotics, gentian and L-glutamine. Topically, an herb called Chickweed is very anti-inflammatory and soothing to the irritated skin. We also use a blood test to check for any foods that your immune system may be reacting to. The most common food sensitivities related to eczema include cow dairy, eggs, gluten and peanuts. It is important to mention that there is a great difference in the quality of supplements due to the variation of dosing and forms of certain vitamins and minerals used. We always recommend that you speak to your health care provider before starting any supplement or vitamin protocol.

The weather cooperated with a beautiful sunny day that ended off with a delicious lunch put together by the club’s Raven’s Roost Restaurant. Prizes from the Kimberley Club and Ladies Club, were distributed at the luncheon. Two lovely bouquets of flowers were graciously donated by our own Kimberley Overwaitea. We even had a hole-in-one on number 7 made by our very own Meagan from the Proshop. I am sure lots are lining up for lessons from her after that display. As mentioned, this is Ladies DAY – not just morning. This is a much needed format for ladies that aren’t able to come out to the morning event. Prizes will only count for the front nine. The morning times are put together by conveners but if anyone would like to come out any other time of the day, just book your time and let the Proshop know

Walk a Mile in Someone’s Shoes a week away Back to school and winter footwear for those in need For the Bulletin
The Walk a Mile in Someone’s shoes is one week away. A great deal of progress has been made since the Bulletin reported on this fundraiser two weeks ago. Molly has spoken to over 700 students at the Kimberley Independent School, Marysville Elementary, Lindsay Park Elementary and McKim Middle School. Local students showed enthusiasm to participate in the walkathon which will take place on June 18 from 10am-12 noon. The walkathon will start and end at the International student building
located at 555 McKenzie St (across from Rotary Park). Molly hopes that local parents will support their child by encouraging them to pick up a pledge form at their School. Pledge forms will be collected at the walkathon on June 18. Registration will take place at 10 am with the walk starting at 10:15am. Adults are also encouraged to participate. Pledge forms will also be available at Talaria in the platzl and at the walkathon. Community members can also support this cause by donating gently used shoes. Shoe drive boxes are at all the Kimberley Schools and the Anglican Church. Donations of shoes can also be brought to the walk-
athon and dropped off between 10am-12 noon. Molly set a personal goal of collecting $1500 in pledges, knowing that Talaria would match her efforts. To date, with Talaria’s support, Molly has raised $2000 which equates to $4000 for local families in Kimberley. Molly hopes that the fundraiser will raise a final total of $6000 so is in need of local students and members of the community to join her on this mission. As a result of the funds raised, Kimberley Schools will have the resources to outfit students in need with ‘back to school’ and winter footwear for the 2016-17 school year. As well, shoe companies are continuing to come forward to com-
Police warn users of W-18 From Page 1 says Dean Nicholson of East Kootenay Addiction Services. “We haven’t heard more than what is being reported in the media,” Nicholson said. What is being reported is that police in Delta are urging drug users to be extra vigilant and “know your source” after the new drug was discovered during a recent drug bust. Police searched labs in Burnaby, Surrey and Richmond and say it’s possible the drug was circulated in all three of those locations. A Delta Police report says W-18 is 100 times more powerful than fentanyl. Chief Constable Neil Dubord said, “The street level use of drugs like W-18 is still in its infancy in Canada and it appears users are completely unaware of its presence in the drugs they are consuming. It is very apparent to us that drug traffickers are aware of the deadly game they are playing with human lives in the manufacture and sale of these counterfeit drugs. In the seizures done by our investigators, the accused were carefully protecting themselves with respirators, gloves and goggles during the process and yet went on to knowingly sell this product to unsuspecting users. The motivation of these individu-
als to make money clearly supersedes their social responsibility in this equation.” Drug investigators believe that the W-18 was being manufactured to appear like heroin or oxycodone before being sold at the street level. For users, this results in a much higher and deadly risk of overdose as they are exposed to a drug they have no tolerance for. In many cases, users are not aware that W-18 (and/or fentanyl) is in the drug that they are consuming. Because the counterfeit heroin and oxycodone are manufactured in clandestine labs, there is no guarantee that the W-18 or fentanyl is evenly distributed or mixed throughout the cutting agent. This causes street users to face potential overdoses from “hot spots” of fentanyl or W18, the press release said. Nicholson is contacting the BC Centre for Disease Control and the national centre in Ottawa as well to see if they will be putting out alerts. “They haven’t put out anything yet, and I don’t want to over-react. That’s not to say it’s not in town, just not confirmed.” Nicholson says one of the EKASS clients said someone in town was dealing W-18. “That could just be the rumour mill. But every drug that’s out there, it comes here eventually.”
The problem is, Nicholson says, that because W-18 has never gone through a pharmaceutical process, he doesn’t know if it’s even detectable. “If a urine test is done, would a hospital pick up W-18? We don’t know if it’s detectable. At our methadone clinic here, clients must do a urine test. We have had a client say he was doing street fentanyl (which is the drug W-18 is being combined with) and it was not picked up in the urine test. “What does that mean? The client says he is using but it’s not showing up.” All those in the EKASS methadone program are given naxalone kits, which can counteract opiate overdoses. It is suggested that with W-18 possible out there, the naxalone kits become even more important. “Everyone who comes in to our program gets a naxalone kit,” Nicholson said. “We are really pumping it out there.” The latest figures from the BC Coroner’s Service say that from January through May 2016, an average of 61.6 apparent illicit drug overdose deaths occurred each month. In 2015, the average number of illicit drug overdose deaths per month was 40.3.
lected will stay in Kimberley to support local children in need. Molly carried out a great deal of research to find a cause that would best fit with the mission of this fundraiser and decided to partner with a school located in the village of Pritamgarh in northern India. This school was made possible by an organization called Helping Hands for India and relies on donations to carry out its mission to educate children in that village.

plary life. He only raped her the one time, seems to be the reasoning, though neither father nor son will actually own the crime, preferring to blame it on alcohol. Dad actually had the nerve to suggest that his son could counsel students on the evils of alcohol, binge drinking and the campus sexual hookup life style. The victim, a 23-year old woman, who admits to being intoxicated at the time, was repeatedly shamed during the trial for her behaviour that night. She claims, in a powerful victim’s statement, that she will carry what happened that night, and through the trial, for the rest of her life. And the perpetrator won’t even apologize. As one outraged Tweeter put it, it appears that women have a past and men have potential. Sadly, this awful treatment of women who summon the courage to come forward and accuse someone of sexual assault is not uncommon at all. Many, many more women simply do not come forward at all, fearing the shaming, the victim-blaming. That this is still an issue in 2016, the same year a woman is running for President, is just sad.

OPINION/EVENTS
Faith as a Way of Seeing
few months ago, I saw a framed print; in beautiful calligraphy it read, “We see things not as they are, but as we are.” The quotation was credited to H. M. Tomlinson (1873–1958), a British journalist and essayist. The quotation actually comes from the Talmud, a huge collection of commentary written by thousands of ancient rabbis who were commenting on the Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament). The saying reminds me of those kinds of pictures where you can see two different images depending on how you look at it. Many times, a viewer will see only one image, and can’t see the second until someone else points it out. Even after we recognize both images are there, it is impossible to see both at the same time. Studies have shown that the eye can only process one pathway of information at a time. Usually, what we see is determined by what we expect to see. That insight is true of most of life. Winston Churchill once said that “the pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity; the optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.” It’s similar to the old saying about whether you see a glass as half full or half empty. The kind of person we are will determine what we see. But we also learn from such experiments that we can learn to see in different ways. When we have seen both images in one of those pictures, we can choose which image we will see at any given time after that, even though nothing in the picture itself changes as we flip from one image to the other. William Bausch, echoing the Talmud,
writes that “Learning to see is the key, for you see what you are.” I think this is a useful way of talking about faith. Above all, Christianity is a way of seeing. Rabbi Harold Kushner writes that “Religion is not primarily a set of beliefs, a collection of prayers, or a series of rituals. Religion is first and foremost a way of seeing. It can’t change the facts about the world we live in, but it can change the way we see those facts, and that in itself can Rev. Yme often make a huge difference.” Woensdregt One of my favourite Christian singer/songwriters is Ken Medema. This blind man sings a lot about seeing. One of his songs sings about “Sunday and Monday eyes”: “Monday eyes see practical necessity, building the economy, the killing of the enemy, the guarding of our ethnic purity, protecting the Great Society, giving the world democracy even if it means killing and torturing to do so. Monday morning minds create the policies of sovereign states, talk of good and thrive on hate, and God help you if you deviate for fear that you might create confusion which we cannot tolerate. “Sunday eyes can see the world in a whole new light: making real the weakness that the strong despise, and the wisdom which confounds the wise. Sunday light exposes lies, cuts the monsters of our Monday world down to size, sees the tears which the suffering cry and shuns the power which money buys. Sunday morning minds are free to love the enemy, dream a new community, see a new reality. “Monday morning eyes can see the
things they think are good for me and Monday morning eyes go rushing headlong across the way, across the road, not caring who they trample on and Sunday morning eyes can view the man who stands beside the road, the lonely woman, the frightened child, the hopeless one who has no one to tend him or her. Sunday morning eyes will not let me go on until something I have done will make a difference. “Monday morning eyes will see that things must be done efficiently, and if it is not quickly done, then Monday morning eyes will soon be gone. Sunday morning eyes will take time to search the road, and find the hopeless one, restore the rhyme and reason of life no matter how much time it takes, for heaven’s sake.” It strikes me that everything in Christian life flows from how our vision is transformed by compassion and grace. Christian people seek to see the world from the perspective of Jesus, and seeing differently, they learn to live differently in the world. 3rd–century theologian, Origen of Alexandria once remarked that “holiness is seeing with the eyes of Christ.” 20th–century Roman Catholic theologian Teilhard de Chardin said with great passion that his mission as a Christian thinker was to help people see. 13th–century Christian thinker Thomas Aquinas said that the ultimate goal of the Christian life is a “beatific vision”, an act of seeing. Faith is a way of seeing. May your perspective on life be renewed so that you might learn to see with Sunday morning eyes of compassion, grace and love.

The future: Universal basic income
In
a referendum on Sunday, Swiss voters rejected a proposal for a guaranteed annual income for everybody by an overwhelming 78%-22% majority. But the idea was not crazy, and it is not going to go away. The old argument in defence of technological change – that it creates more new jobs than it destroys – no longer holds water. In the 1980s, 8 percent of new jobs created in the developed economies were in entirely new occupations, from call-centres to computer programmers. In the 1990s, only 4.4% of the new jobs involved newly invented occupations. In the 2000s, only half a percent did. So full-time jobs with benefits have declined – only one-quarter of working-age Americans now have one – and the socalled “gigging economy” has not filled the gap. You may be able to stay afloat financially by doing a variety of “gigs” – low-paid, short-term, often part-time jobs – but you will never make ends meet, let alone get a mortgage.. Industrial jobs were the first to be destroyed by automation, but it soon moved on to the less demanding clerical jobs as well. As somebody said: “Every ATM contains the ghosts of three bank tellers.” And now it’s moving on to the kinds of jobs that it once seemed impossible to automate. Driving, for example. The driverless vehicles that are now to be found meticulously observing the speed limit (and causing angry traffic jams behind them) on the roads of various major cities will soon be out of the experimental stage. At that point, the jobs of many millions of
Friday June 10, 2016 Page 7
truck-drivers, bus-drivers and van-drivers will be in jeopardy. Another huge chunk of the economy will start shedding jobs rapidly as online health monitoring and diagnosis take over the routine work of non-specialised health professionals. A similar fate awaits most mid-level jobs in the financial services sector, the retail sector and “management” in general. The standard political response to this trend is to try desperately to create other jobs, even if they are paid, almost pointGwynne poorly less jobs, in order to keep people “in work” and off Dyer welfare. Unemployment is sees as a failure by both the government and the victim. Yet this “problem” is actually a success story. Why would you see an economy that delivers excellent goods and services without requiring people to devote half their waking hours to work as a problem? The real problem is figuring out how to distribute the benefits of automation when people’s work is no longer needed. And so to this relatively new idea: universal basic income. The core principle is that everybody gets a guaranteed income that is enough to live on, whether they are poor or rich, employed or not. They can earn as much more as they want, if they can find the work, but their basic needs are covered. The actual amounts did not get mentioned in the Swiss referendum, but the people who proposed it were thinking in terms of a monthly income of $2,500 for every adult, and an additional sum of $625 a month for every child. It would replace the usual humiliating jumble of welfare pay-
ments with a single fixed sum for everybody, so it has appeal for the right wing as well as the left. In the Swiss model (and in many others) the cost of a universal basic income is about 50% higher than current expenditure on welfare payments, so taxes would be higher. But so would incomes, including those of high earners, since even they are getting the same flat annual payment of $30,000 per adult. As for the inevitable rise of the “gigging economy”, that then becomes just the way people top up their incomes in order to afford luxuries. If there is work available, then people would still want to do it – but if there is not, they would still have decent lives. About half the remaining traditional fulltime jobs in advanced economies will be eliminated by automation in the next 10-20 years, so this is an idea whose time has come. Then why did the Swiss reject it by a 4-to-1 majority? Mainly because their deal with the European Union means that they have relatively open borders. Luzi Stamm, a member of parliament for the right-wing Swiss People’s Party, liked the idea in principal but opposed it in practice: “Theoretically, if Switzerland were an island, the answer is yes,” he told the BBC. “But with open borders, it’s a total impossibility...If you offered every individual [living here] a Swiss amount of money, you would have billions of people who would try to move into Switzerland.” Well, tens of millions anyway. But the solution to that is to control the borders, not to abandon the whole idea. And it will be back. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist published in 45 countries.

Bandits ready for back-to-back doubleheaders at home Boys of summer return to Confederation Park as Glacier Twins, Kalispell Lakers visit Saturday & Sunday, respectively Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
After lighting up Trail’s Butler Park last weekend, the blazing bats of the Cranbrook Bandits return to Confederation Park for a pair of home-field doubleheaders this weekend, welcoming the Glacier Twins and Kalispell Lakers for American Legion Baseball action Saturday and Sunday, respectively. “Improvement-wise, just playing good fundamentally-sound baseball and staying within that is going to be a big thing moving forward,” said Paul Mrazek, head coach of the Bandits. “The players are getting a better understanding of what their job is, how it works and what they need to do to get it done.” Saturday, Confedera-
tion Park will play host to the Glacier Twins, with doubleheader action getting underway at 1 p.m. Sunday afternoon, the Kalispell Lakers pay a visit to Cranbrook, with a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m. The Bandits bats exploded for 42 runs in four games last weekend, en route to three victories and improving the team’s Montana State ‘B’ record to 7-4-0. Having played nine of 11 games out of town to this point in the campaign, the Bandits will look to maintain their perfect, though small, record at Confederation Park. After rain snubbed the team’s originally
scheduled home-opening doubleheader against the Trail Orioles (May 21), the Bandits welcomed the Libby Loggers the following Saturday, bagging a pair of wins — 7-3 and 11-10 — to get off to a good start at Confederation Park. Since then, the schedule has kept the Bandits on the road. After going 1-2-0 on their first road trip to start the season, the Bandits have registered a mark of 4-2-0 over the past two weekends away from home. Between the success of the past weekend and the perfect start at home, the Bandits are one step ahead of where they were at the same point in 2015.
After 11 games to start last summer’s American Legion Baseball season, the Bandits were 6-5-0, having outscored opponents by a margin of three runs per game (8.09 to 5.09; 89 runs to 56). With an extra win in the bag in 2016, the Bandits are ahead of last year’s mark, having also outscored opponents by more than 3.5 runs per game (8.90 to 5.36; 98 to 59). “There are a few situational things we can improve on,” Mrazek said. “Some of that, you can talk about it and you can practice it, but sometimes you don’t really know it until you experience it in a game.”

2016 UEFA European Football Championship
Captain Lloris wants host France to prove a point at Euro 2016 Jerome Pugmire Associated Press
PARIS - France’s billing as one of the European Championship favourites means nothing to captain Hugo Lloris, who is demanding a strong start in Friday’s opening match against Romania. Although France is in good form, scoring 13 goals in the past four matches, it has played only friendly games since losing to Germany in the World Cup quarterfinals two years ago. “There’s a lot of expectation. We know the importance of this match, how important it is to make a good start,” Lloris said on Thursday at the pre-match news conference. “We’ve played friendlies for two years and there have been a lot of positives, but things start for real tomorrow.” France has international pedigree, winning the 1998 World Cup and the Euros in 1984 and 2000. But since reaching
the 2006 World Cup final it has been a fading force in a decade dominated by Spain, winner of the past two Euros and the 2010 World Cup, and by Germany, which won the last World Cup. First round exits at Euro 2008 and at the 2010 World Cup - a shambolic campaign featuring an embarrassing players’ strike - dented confidence hugely. Although form was regained two years ago at the World Cup, France’s performances in Brazil still lacked the panache of old. “We’ve done nothing, we haven’t proved anything compared to Germany and Spain,” Lloris said. “But playing on home soil gives us a little bit of an advantage and we have to use it.” The 29-year-old Lloris, one of the Premier League’s best goalkeepers for Tottenham, stands to win his 76th
cap. “For everyone it’s the most important competition of their career. If you ask my teammates, they’d say the same,” he said. “As long as we have this spirit, the hunger to win tackles I have no doubts.” H o w e v e r, R o m a n i a coach Anghel Iordanescu is pretty confident he has France figured out. “They have some shortcomings at the back,” he said. “We’ve worked with the video analysts to devise a team plan. Our plan is to compete on an even footing.” Romania prides itself on a rock-solid defence after conceding only two goals in 10 games in qualifying, giving Iordanescu the firm belief his side can get an upset. “I’m sure our players are ready to overcome the spells of pressure and domination they’re likely to face,” he said.
“We don’t simply want to defend; we want to have a balanced style of play and cause problems for the French.” France coach Didier Deschamps expects Romania’s players will hunt his players down relentlessly and make good use of whatever possession they get. “They’re very well organized in defence, but they can also close you down high up and force you into mistakes,” he said. “They can break quickly from defence to attack with their fast, technical players.” Rather than adopting a patient, probing approach like Spain does, rapid passing to feed its quick wingers may be the best option for France. “I prefer to play more directly even if it means taking more risks,” Deschamps said. “I don’t think I have the right team to hold the ball and wear teams down. I think we have a team more capable of accelerating play.”

Chicago White Sox sign Canadian Justin Morneau Bandits look to remain perfect Mike Cr anston Associated Press
CHICAGO - The Chicago White Sox have designated veteran righthander Mat Latos for assignment and signed veteran first baseman Justin Morneau. The club immediate-
ly placed Morneau on the 15-day disabled list Thursday after he agreed to a one-year, $1 million contract with incentives The White Sox purchased the contract of right-hander Tyler Danish from Double-A Birmingham on Tuesday to fill Latos’ roster spot.
Latos’ fortunes mirrored his team’s season. He was 4-0 with a 0.74 ERA after his first four starts as the White Sox raced to a 23-10 start. But Latos had a 7.25 ERA over his last seven starts as the White Sox had dropped 20 of 26 games. Latos gave up six
runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings in a 10-5 loss to Washington on Tuesday. He is 6-2 with a 4.62 ERA in 11 starts. Morneau is a fourtime All-Star and former AL MVP, but remained unsigned after off-season surgery on his left elbow.

Slow down during road maintenance, Mainroad urges F o r t h e Tow n s m a n
The warm weather months mark timing for East Kootenay crews to complete seasonal road maintenance activities and typically when we see increased traffic to our roads and highways. Mainroad reminds motorists and residents to slow down and move over for highway maintenance and all roadside workers. “We aim to schedule seasonal maintenance during non-peak traffic periods to minimize impact to the driving public,” said Al Sander, General Manager for Mainroad East Kootenay Contractin. “Please visit DriveBC.ca for
local conditions and events in your area.” Please watch for Cone Zoned areas where our crews are working to complete the following maintenance: • Continuous rest area maintenance and garbage pick up; • Ditch maintenance; • Dust control; • Grading on gravel roads; • Gravelling side roads in the Jaffray area; • Patching potholes; • Paving; •Roadside mowing North of Canal Flats; • Sign installation and repairs. When approaching
road maintenance crew, please slow down and drive with extreme care. Stay alert, minimize distractions and show respect for the person working at the side of the road. We all have family and friends using the roads we maintain and our crews are proud of the work they do. Please drive safe. Report accidents, unsafe road conditions, road or Hwy debris and road kill to Mainroad’s 24 hour hotline: 1-800665-4929.

KSCU staff return a 94% strike vote Submitted
Trail, BC – Following 17 days of negotiations over the past six months and unable to achieve a fair collective agreement, the unionized staff represented by the United Steelworkers Locals 9705 and 1-405 at KSCU have voted 94 per cent in favour of job action. A press release issued by the Steelworkers said the key sticking points are the “employer’s insistence on deleting long-standing language that is protective of KSCU employee’s pension; hours of work for the new Member Service Center; limiting of member health benefits and no wage increase for two years.” “This was an issue in the last round of bargaining in 2011,” said USW Staff Rep and lead negotiator Dean Lott of the pension language issue. “This issue was arbitrated by Vince Ready and he found in favour of the Union. We’re not prepared to give that language up.” “We understand the pressures put upon this employer and other Credit Unions in the region,” Lott said. “In the current low-interest rate environment they are not making the
money they used to. But that being said, our members are doing more and more with less. “The strike vote is a strong message to the employer: our members are doing their part and they deserve better.” The United Steelworkers (USW) Local 9705 (Trail) and USW Local 1-405 (Cranbrook) represent 110 employees at KSCU branches and offices in Trail, Fruitvale, Castlegar, Salmo, South Slocan, Kaslo and Kimberley. USW Local 9705 represents over 400 members including the Office and Technical Employees of Teck Operations in Trail; Kootenay Savings Credit Union; Red Mountain Resort; Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital/IHA, Kootenay Insurance Services, Sandman Inn in Castlegar and Waneta Plaza in Trail. USW Local 1-405 based in Cranbrook is a diverse union representing over 1200 workers in Sawmills, Pole Plants, Credit Unions, Insurance Services, Hotels, Ski Resorts and Municipal workers in the East and West Kootenays.

Experts find climate change’s fingerprints in French floods Se th Boren stein Associated Press
the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, Geert Jan van Oldenborgh , says the team’s calculations found that global warming increased the chances for the Loire river basin flooding by 90 per cent and the Seine river basin by 80 per cent. That’s compared to a world with no man-made climate change. Parts of France got three months of rain in just one month, much of it in just three days. The Seine, which runs through Paris, rose to 20 feet (6.1 metres) above its normal height. “It was very weird weather,” van
WASHINGTON - An international team of scientists has found that man-made climate change nearly doubled the likelihood of last month’s devastating French flooding. In a quick but not peer-reviewed analysis , the World Weather Attribution team of climate scientists used past rainfall data and computer simulations to look for global warming’s fingerprints in the heavy downpours in France and Germany. A senior climate researcher at

nals. This one was done in five days and will eventually be sent to a peer-reviewed journal. But that is not so much a worry because these are well-known and qualified scientists, Sobel said. Walsh said the methods and conclusions “are state-of-the-art” and “the results highlight the role of human-caused climate change while the event is still fresh in the public’s minds.” Follow Seth Borenstein at http://twitter.com/borenbears and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/
than the 40 per cent chance they found for the storm Desmond that hit the United Kingdom last winter, van Oldenborgh said. Two outside scientists - Adam Sobel of Columbia University and John Walsh of the University of Alaska - say the team used scientifically sound methods. Both Sobel and Walsh were co-authors of a National Academy of Sciences report that looked at the scientific accuracy of studies that look for global warming’s fingerprints. They looked at studies that are usually done over months and published in peer-reviewed jour-
Oldenborgh said. “It was made more likely due to climate change.” The researchers couldn’t find a link with the German rain. The team, which also included American, British and French scientists co-ordinated by Climate Central in Princeton, New Jersey, is trying something relatively new: real-time scientifically valid studies to see if extreme weather events are natural or more likely to happen because of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuel.

FOR THE TOWNSMAN
CRANBROOK – Eight search and rescue organizations in the East Kootenay region have received a combined total of more than $517,000 from the B.C. government’s $10 million in one-time funding commitments to the B.C. Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA). The funding helps bolster training, administrative support and equipment renewals for these critical public-safety lifeline volunteers. The recipients: • Columbia Valley Search and Rescue: $82,441.61 • Cranbrook Search and Rescue: $27,160.81 • Elkford Search and Rescue: $25,000 • Fernie Search and Rescue: $79,930.81 • Golden and District Search and Rescue: $98,875.21 • Kimberley Search and Rescue: $63,052.20 • Revelstoke Search and Rescue: $98,348.63 • Sparwood Search and Rescue: $42,934.17 “The work our search and rescue volunteers do is nothing short of heroic, putting their own lives on the line to help others in very challenging conditions,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “These are essential organizations in our communities and this funding will help them make needed upgrades and improve their services to the public.” The money received by the organizations will go toward activities such as training for technical search and rescue responses, personal protective equipment to ensure their members are safe, and other equipment that supports search and rescue operations. The $10 million in BCSARA funding will take place over a two-year period, based on the proposed Alternative Support Model that was supported by its members. These funding allocations are given according to the needs of the local ground search and rescue teams to replace or update equipment, provide administrative support and pay for new or additional training. This investment builds on the $6.3 million the B.C. government is already providing each year to cover ground search and rescue operational costs for deployment, as well as training and equipment costs, and the insurance and liability for the members of the 80 groups serving across the B.C. landscape.

End of life, and what binds us together M A NA S TA SI A BA R T LE T T
y inevitable physical end of life is not something upon which I dwell. I’d rather think of myself as being somewhere in my thirties despite the evidence n the mirror and the 20- and 30-year-old adults who claim to be my children (who are these people and why are they calling me mom?). This past month I came face to face with my own mortality when I traveled east to help my sisters deal with the deterioration of our parents. This wasn’t unexpected, our mother has had health problems all her adult life and they have accelerated during these past few decades with two major heart surgeries, stents in her legs, falls resulting from deep brain stokes, ongoing issues with diabetes, etc. Her reduced physical and metal abilities have necessitated she be placed in a nursing home. Our father was no longer able to care for her physical needs since he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. At least the two of them are together sharing a room in the home where all their needs are being met. What took me east was an emergency regarding our mother. Complications of her diabetes and poor circulation necessitated the amputation of a leg, either that or a slow excruciatingly painful death as her body died from the toes up, her
last few months spent in drugged existence. Given her fragile physical state there was no guarantee she would survive the surgery or the subsequent recovery. If I wanted to see my mother alive again, I needed to be with her prior to surgery. To make a long story short, she survived the surgery, the recovery and was transferred back to the nursing home for ongoing care. But this not the mother I remembered. My sister had warned me. My last visit had been August, 2015, when my mother was living at home and using a walker. Now, she is nothing but skin and bones with limited movement, confined to bed and wheelchair. This once vital woman who has has taught Word Perfect, obtained a black belt in Tai chi, and performed as Granny G at YukYuks can no longer use a phone, is unable to even shift herself in bed and can barely string two sentences together in a coherent conversation. Her entire world centres around ensuring my father is there to help her. And my father, a man with a lifetime membership with the CGA, who developed and taught a business math program in a university, who could add dozens of numbers in his head faster than his students could use a calculator, is no longer able to manage his bank accounts, access his email or drive a car. This is one of my
possible futures. But there is more. One of my tasks while out east was to sort through all my parents’ papers and decide what to do with them. In my archeological exploration of their files, I discovered letters they had written to each other, prior to their marriage and during the time they were separated when they were immigrating to Canada. I didn’t read them all, but came away with a greater understanding of my parents’ relationship. They wrote each other daily and in
amongst the notes of day to day living, I read of an intense yearning to be together again, my mother’s need for my father and my father’s love for her. That relationship is still there. Its almost as if the end of life experience strips away the façade of living, the things we do and the image we try to project. When my mother was separated from my father in the hospital, she was easily agitated and would only settle down once my father arrived. On the other hand, my father was anxious to be

Fire hazard remains despite cooler weather Bl ack Press
B.C. Wildfire Service crews are tackling the first major southern fire of the season, burning next to Highway 3 near Grand Forks and the U.S. border as fire hazard conditions remain high in many parts of the province. The Gilpin fire was discovered Tuesday and was 25 per cent contained by Wednesday, helped by cooler tem-
peratures and some rain and estimated at 224 hectares. Smoke caused visibility problems for drivers between Christina Lake and Grand Forks. B.C. Wildfire Service deployed 64 firefighters, three helicopters and three pieces of heavy equipment. Three much larger fires in northeastern B.C. were mostly contained by this week, in-
cluding the Siphon Creek fire that has burned 85,000 hectares and reached into northwestern Alberta. Firefighters from Ontario are assisting with that fire. The Beatton Airport Road fire north of Fort St. John was 90 per cent contained at about 16,000 hectares Wednesday. Burning since April 18, the fire caused evacuations during May.

Small Business BC is offering to help business owners navigate the paperwork for the new federal-provincial training grant. “We have now a $2 million stream of the Canada Job Grant that will allow small business owners, if they can find somebody who currently doesn’t have a job but has the skill set that they need with
some extra training, and offer that person a job, we can now cover 100 per cent of those training costs, up to $15,000,” said Jobs Minister Shirley Bond. The program also covers up to two thirds of training costs up to $10,000 for current employees who qualify. Small businesses are those with fewer than 50 employees. Small Business BC

B.C. residents earned enough to pay their taxes by June 5 this year, the same time as Ontario taxpayers and two weeks after Alberta residents, according to annual calculations by the Fraser Institute. Tax Freedom Day isn’t reached until June 13 in Quebec and June 14 in Newfoundland and Labrador. Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island had a lower debt burden this year than B.C., with the average family paying taxes to all levels of government by June 1. Based on family income, the Fraser Institute calculates that the average Canadian family with two or more people will pay $45,167 in taxes this year, including income, property, fuel, payroll, liquor and other taxes.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Brickholder T
JANUS: Cranbrook Then & Now
Jim Cameron
he Little Brick Building began its existence in the ovens of the fledgling Cranbrook Brick Company which went into production in June, 1909, one of a number of brick factories in the immediate district over the years. By July, the company had 100,000 bricks in the kiln and another 150,000 drying in the yard; bricks that in the short existence of the company would fabricate the Cranbrook Electric Company powerhouse, Cranbrook City Hall (125,000 bricks), the Hanson Block/Norbury Hotel which stood on the corner of Norbury Avenue and Baker Street (3 million bricks), the old Cranbrook Post Office and, more to the point, one other building in particular, a residence on Block 27, Lot 25 of Armstrong Avenue (213–9th Avenue). A building that was completely demolished once and, remarkably, nearly demolished a second time. Bricks cannot talk, yet they still manage to tell a century old story unique to our town. Enter Archie Waller, an Irishman born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1870, and, appropriately enough namewise, a brick and stone mason by trade. An ad in the Cranbrook Herald of May 5, 1910, for Messrs. Nesbitt and Waller, builders and carpenters is the first mention of his presence in town. It was Nesbitt and Waller who built the Electric Company powerhouse, in fact. Further, Mr. Waller purchased block 27, Lot 25 on Armstrong Avenue in 1910, taking out a mortgage for nearly two thousand dollars in October of that year with the Great Western Permanent Loan Company of Winnipeg. He likely purchased the property from E.H. Taylor, who owned it in 1908 and who apparently purchased it from Arthur Manahan who owned it in 1906. Although there is no known record of the date that the residence, constructed of brick stamped CBC (Cranbrook Brick Company), was erected on the property, what evidence there is suggests that it was Archie Waller who built the house sometime in 1910-11. As an aside, if it seems odd that the construction of what was later termed one of the city’s most pretentious
homes garnered no mention at the time, keep in mind that there is also no known record of the construction of the Tower House (the Parkin Manor) on Norbury Avenue, built about the same time and certainly one of Cranbrook’s most notable heritage buildings. Archie Waller and Vince Liddicoat formed a working partnership in 1912 and built the South Ward School on Wattsville Road and the Cranbrook Jobber’s Warehouse (later the Ranch Steak House which burned down in 2003), and Archie continued his trade locally until he and his wife Jessie Childs settled in Marysville. Although all indications point to Archie as a reasonably successful businessman, in July, 1915 he was served with a public foreclosure notice of the mortgage of Block 27, Lot 25 by the Great Western Loan Company, who declared they would enter into possession of the said premises and rent or “sell the said land and premises as they saw fit.” It would appear the Archie made no effort to save the property and both the land and the building came into possession of at least four other owners over the next 21 years. It was in the hands of John Armour for a time, a local raconteur, owner of a pool hall, a job placement agency and an early car dealership among other things. It passed on to Charles Spence, a Boer War Veteran and grocery store owner and, in the years before his death, the local government liquor agent. During the building’s final days it was known as the Riordan residence, for David Riordan of Penticton, who made a name for himself in that city but spent little, if any time in Cranbrook. By November, 1935, the residence, long neglected and in a state of complete disrepair, was the property of the City of Cranbrook who duly condemned and demolished the building and sold the land. As befitted a city suffering the effects of the Great Depression, the bricks of the building were salvaged and in May 1936 were used to construct a garage at the rear of city hall — the present day Little Brick Building — for use as a city waterworks and electrical shop. Care was taken to use the original bricks, joined with tinted mortar, to form the exterior walls while newer bricks made up an additional inner course.
The centre residence, 213 - 9th Ave., replaced the brick Waller residence in 1936 – Cameron, June 2016
A Cranbrook Brick Co. ad from the Herald, Aug.19, 1909.
The Little Brick Building behind city hall – Cameron, June 2016 The garage served its original purpose until the 1970s and was then used as storage and ambulance parking for a time. In 2013 the city deemed the building unsafe and was about to have it demolished when, at the eleventh hour, local citizen Ken Haberman approached council with a plan to restore it with the help of volunteers at no cost
to the city. A successful motion from Councillor Gerry Warner to delay demolition for one year gave the Cranbrook Heritage Association the opportunity to raise funds for an engineering study which, in turn, led to the eventual stabilizing and restoration of the structure. The reconstruction utilized as many Cranbrook Brick Company bricks from
the original garage as possible while others were located in the attic of city hall — perhaps left there following the demolition of the city hall tower — augmented with bricks of the same style from the remains of the St. Eugene Hospital. It stands proudly once again, the “Little Brick Building,” the “Little Building That Could,” thanks to the dona-
tions of many and the volunteer efforts of many more. It is not what you might call a graceful structure but it may be said that that is precisely what gives it its charm: it is solid, practical and unique with its locally manufactured bricks and its distinct cement quoins (cornerstones), creating an impression of permanence and strength — traits that have made the city of Cranbrook what it is today. There has been no formal recognition as yet on behalf of the city for the efforts of those who undertook the reconstruction of the Little Brick Building. Undoubtedly, there should be. It is an excellent opportunity to place Cranbrook in a very positive light with regard to both local heritage and those who actively support it. A very positive result for a city often tarred with a negative heritage brush. There is still work to be done, some finishing touches, a plaque, exterior lighting and landscaping, period-friendly doors and windows and then, well, the suggestions are many: a distinctive commercial space perhaps a tie-in with Rotary Park — or a display area for the City itself, featuring the old fire trucks or the numerous artifacts received at city hall over the years — the possibilities are many. As stated, in part, in a Cranbrook Herald editorial of March 28, 1924, entitled “Your Town … Wood, brick and stone — I am more than that; even more than flesh and blood – I am the composite soul of all who call me Home. As clearly as the pool throws back the reflection of the rising sun, I shall reflect you — make of me what you will. I am Cranbrook!” If the Little Brick Building isn’t a distinct part of what is Cranbrook, it would be hard to say what exactly is. And with that, Janus arrives at the end of its eighth season and extends a sincere thank you to Barry Coulter, Zena Williams and Karen Johnston along with all the staff and management of the Cranbrook Townsman, to Harriet Pollock, David Humphrey, the Cranbrook History Centre and all those who have shared their time, and stories and with a special thank you to those who graciously purchased a copy of “Janus — Cranbrook Then and Now — Volume One;” which will soon enter its second printing with Volume Two on the way. Catch you in the fall as there is always mortar talk about.

From the sounds of Bach to the unmistakeable James Bond theme song, the Cranbrook Community Orchestra is excited to present their first concert after forming only a few short months ago. The orchestra, comprised of musicians ranging from beginners to experts, was formed by Dave Pasivirta and Shelagh Redecopp as a way for local musicians — regardless of abilities —to learn in an orchestral environment. From musicians who haven’t touched an instrument since childhood to beginners looking to pick up a saxophone or clarinet for the first time, the Cranbrook Community Orchestra has been working since it formed to put on the upcoming show on Saturday, June 11 at 1 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church. Admission is at the door for $5. “This is a first community effort at an orchestra where we’ve all come together and had a

first effort at doing what we can with missing instruments and having a lot of fun together,” said Redecopp. “It’s an opportunity for us to show that to the public and our friends and families what work we have done, and it’s an opportunity for those who are wondering if it’s for them, if they want to take up an instrument and join us, come and see what we’re all about. “We’re certainly not professional by any means.” There are roughly 30 musicians who come out regularly for weekly practices, ranging from

beginners to those who moonlight with the Symphony of the Kootenays. “We’ve instrumentation that we’re not used to seeing around here, other than the Symphony,” said Redecopp. “We’ve got strings playing with winds and brass and percussion.” The orchestra is short on stringed instruments, but they have most of the typical instruments in place, including violins, cellos, tubas and saxophones, to name a few, “We’ve been able to represent the orchestral work in all its parts,” Redecopp added.

Homo floresiensis (“Flores Man”; nicknamed “hobbit”) is an extinct species widely thought to be in the genus Homo. The remains of an individual that would have stood about 3.5 feet (1.1 m) in height were discovered in 2003 at Liang Bua on the island of Flores in Indonesia.
New fossils push ‘hobbit’ story back to 700,000 years ago M a lco l m R i tt e r Associated Press
Scientists say new fossil finds on an Indonesian island have revealed ancestors of the “hobbits,” our extinct, 3 1/2 -foot-tall evolutionary cousins that gained fame more than a decade ago after their remains were found in a cave there. The fossils are about 700,000 years old, extending the hobbit story far backward from
the original remains, which date to just 50,000 years ago. Scientists say the six isolated teeth and a jaw fragment come either from hobbits or a related species. The fossils were excavated in 2014 about 46 miles from the cave where the first hobbit remains were found. The discovery is described in two papers released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: I suffer from terrible depression. My doctor has me on antidepressants and suggested that I seek therapy. However, I walked out on therapy because I felt that it was not for me and that it didn’t help me at all. I have no friends, so having anybody to talk to about what I’m going through is difficult. When I attempted to discuss my depression with family, they repeatedly told me it was just in my head and I simply needed to get ahold of myself. I have turned to a few minor hobbies to help distract me from my depression. However, with the lack of support, it can be really difficult. I do not feel valued by anyone. I have contemplated suicide, thinking that would wake people up enough to realize how I feel. What do I do? -- Blue Water Dear Blue: Please reconsider therapy. It sounds as if you gave up too quickly. You want someone to talk to? Who will listen when you pour out your worries and fears? Who will be a means of emotional support? This is what a therapist is for. Sometimes the first therapist isn’t a good fit. It takes a little time to find one you are comfortable with. And “help” doesn’t always appear obvious until you’ve been in therapy for a little while. We are glad you are taking appropriate medication. Now it’s time to take additional responsibility by following your doctor’s instructions to seek therapy. Please ask for another referral. We promise it will help. And if you are contemplating suicide, you can speak to someone immediately at the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (suicidepreventionhotline.org) at 1-800-273-8255. Dear Annie: As an only child, I have the task of caring for my elderly mother. I am in my late 50s, and Mom is in her 80s. I have three children of my own, one of whom is a young teen, and I am also a grandmother. I love my family, but there is only one of me and I can’t do it all. I’d like to offer some advice for parents who are lucky enough to have someone living close by who can help with their daily needs: Please write down what you need. I will invariably walk in the door with several bags of groceries, only to have you tell me that you forgot to mention that you also need eggs or milk. I have no problem doing your laundry, but please, if I say you need to throw away an old piece of clothing, trust me enough to agree. When I say you need a bath, believe it. All the denial in the world will not change how often you need to shower. Please wear your incontinence pads and change them frequently. I am more than willing to do a lot for you, because I love you. But I will not bathe you or give you a pedicure. When you find that you cannot do these things adequately, please hire someone. You can afford it. For those who cannot, Medicare often can provide help for some of these services. It will make me less stressed. I, too, am getting older and my husband is ill. My body aches and I’m in physiotherapy. Please listen with your heart. -- Your Loving Daughter Dear Daughter: Your suggestions are good, but please consider that Mom may need more help than you realize. It might be time to look into assisted-living options or live-in caregivers. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Jim was born on May 27, 1933 in Montreal, Quebec and was raised in the small town of Greenfield Park, one of 5 children. He married Shirley Thomas in 1958 and they began their life together in Ville LeMoyne and then moved to Greenfield Park where they began to raise a family. Jim was an avid golfer in his younger years. He loved to spend time watching and talking about hockey. Jim was a very loyal person. He loved Canada, Cranbrook and most of all his family. Jim spent many hours volunteering at East Kootenay Regional Hospital as a host. Jim was happiest when the whole family was gathered together. He will be greatly missed by his wife Shirley, daughter Sandra (Alex) and son Kevin (Helen). Jim was a proud grandfather and known as ‘Pa’ to Lindsay (Tony), Kevin, Rebecca and Ethan. He was also a great grandfather to Jasper. Jim was a special uncle to 18 nieces and nephews. Our family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff in the Intensive Care Unit at East Kootenay Regional Hospital who made Jim and his family very comfortable in his last days. Our family has chosen to have a celebration of Jim’s life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donation in honour of Jim can be made to the Cranbrook Hospital Auxiliary, c/o 13 – 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, British Columbia, V1C 3H9. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Lou was born in Michel, BC to Domnic and Vittoria Fontana on September 2, 1933.

Mom enjoyed her extensive family and her garden and maintained a strong faith throughout her life.

The family would like to extend a very heartfelt thankyou to Drs.

A recent study has been published by the North American Bird Conservation Initiative stating that one-third of all North American bird species need urgent conservation action. Habitat loss is at the forefront of the causes leading to decreased numbers in birds and the report states the
need to continue investing in the preservation of wetland areas to ensure species thrive in the areas. Invermere bird expert and owner of Eagle-Eye Tours Cam Gillies says that habitat loss is the greatest threat to birds in the Columbia Valley region. “Grassland birds and wetland birds are particularly sensitive to loss

of grasslands or wetlands. Just because there’s so little of that habitat, it’s already so threatened. One of the big factors here for grassland birds in particular is that the grasslands are where all the people want to live and develop. So we’ve lost a lot of grasslands to housing developments, golf courses, etc.� said Mr. Gillies. Another issue that grassland habitat is facing is a lack of fires in the area, he said. Fires allow for the grasslands to stay as a grassland area and not develop into forested areas. “The fire history has also changed, we’re having fewer low intensity fires like we would have in the past. The forest is growing into these grasslands; (this) changes the habitat. It makes it less suitable for grassland birds,� said Mr. Gillies. According the Columbia Wetlands Waterbird Survey online results, the 2015 spring count was 14,000 individual birds, and the 2015 fall count was 40,000, whereas the 2016 spring count was 25,500. The public needs to be conscious of the need for conservation and protection of these bird species in the region, said Mr. Gillies. “In terms of things we can do, you can create natural habitats in your yard. You can put up nest boxes, plant trees with fruit that birds will eat,� he said. Another thing to be aware of when thinking about the long-term future of bird conservation is reducing the use of pesticides, Mr Gillies added. With many insect bird species declining steeply in numbers, a concern is the use of pesticides is killing the food source of these birds.

Gerry Frederick photo
Gerry Frederick snapped an split-second of a cedar waxwing finding dinner at Elizabeth Lake Tuesday.
Our family is broken hearted as we share the loss of our beautiful Mom, Thelma. Born and raised in Yorkton, SK, Mom later moved with her family to Victoria, BC where she attended Secretary College and met the love of her life, Alfred. During their fifty years of marriage they raised four children; Bob (Gwen), Donna, Maureen (Colin) and David. Before Dad’s death in 1998, eleven wonderful grandchildren; Michael, Jason, Alana, Shari, Tiffany, Lacey, Scott, Neisje, Candice, Salyna and Jamie joined the family. Our blessings continued afterwards as twenty great-grandchildren came along. Mom was a hardworking, lovely lady who had deep love and great pride in all her family. For the past eleven years Mom has resided in Garden View Village and it truly became her home. She had courage and strength and a zest for life we all admired. We affectionately called her the ‘Bingo Queen’. It didn’t matter what the occasion, Mom was ready to join in and dress up to suit the theme. Mom made many wonderful friends at Garden View. She has left a hole in our hearts that will never completely heal. Our family is saddened by our tremendous loss but so grateful we were blessed with such a special and beautiful Mother, Grandmother and Nana. She left this world with her loving children at her side and as her spirit soared part of our hearts went with her. Thelma is survived by her aforementioned family, two sisters; Della and Vivian and extended family. She was predeceased by her parents, five siblings, her husband Alfred, son-in-law Danny and her precious greatgrandson Baby Ethan. May you rest in peace, Mom, reunited with all your loved ones that have gone before you. We will love and miss you forever. Funeral service for Thelma will be held on August 6, 2016 at 11:00 am at the Kimberley United Church.
