Round the Mountain grows and grows C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Trails in Kimberley will be getting another big boost, as the Round the Mountain event this past weekend raised over $10,000 for the trail network. There is no better event to showcase Kimberley’s trails than the Round the Mountain Festival, which invites competitors to run, bike and trek around North Star Mountain. Jim Webster, one of the volunteers who makes the event happen, is full of superlatives about this year’s race. “It was by far the best attended, had the nicest weather and was the best organized event in the six years in which it has been held,” Webster said. One of the nice things about this year’s rendition, he says, is that many more long time Kimberley residents participated. “Fire Chief Allan Collision even completed the 20K Trek with his family in a record breaking seven plus hours,” Webster said. “The event attracted a good mix of locals and out-of town visitors, with a family from Hawaii having travelled the furthest. Each year the organizers try to improve upon the year before by tweaking the format, adding new trail enhancements and fine-tuning their organization. “Each year we have a

stronger, more experienced core of volunteers that are able to offer the best experience they can for those taking part. The big hit of the day was watermelon which was followed closely by the chips, always a popular snack at the Aid Stations along the route. “Round the Mountain is truly a community event and for 2016 even the Kimberley Pipe Band was in attendance leading off the trekkers at their 7 a.m. start.

Well done everyone.” Here are some of the results: In the 20K Mountain Bike - female - we had a local winner, Naomi Humenny, who finished the course in 1:31:17. She was followed 4:56 minutes later by Stephanie McGregor of Cranbrook. The 20 K MTB Female Master was won by Lisa Grey of Harvie Heights, followed by Zoe Ramdin of Kimberley. In the 20K Mountain Bike Male, another local winner, Craig DeMars of Kimberley finished in 1:12:59, followed by Ryan Hamilton of Cranbrook only 36 seconds behind. A special shout out to Kimberley City Councillor Nigel Kitto who finished a very respectable tenth out of 60 racers. CHRIS NEWEL PHOTO See RESULTS, page 3

Wilks goes provincial
Former MP Wilks to run for BC Liberal nomination in Kootenay East TRE VOR CR AWLEY
The B.C. Liberal nomination race as officially begun as former Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks has announced his intention to run. Wilks, who has experience in municipal politics as the mayor of Sparwood for two terms along with serving on the board of directors with the Regional District of East Kootenay, said he is looking forward to the nomination process. “After talking with family and friends and supporters, I decided to put my name in the hat,” said Wilks. “I have a strong passion for politics and have served in municipal, regional and federal politics. “I believe I come with the knowledge and the experience to serve East Kootenay very well should I be successful in the nomination and I believe that we can get some more things done.” He paid homage to outgoing B.C. Liberal MLA Bill Bennett, who announced his retirement from provincial politics last week. “Bill Bennett has done a wonderful job over the last 16 years and if I win the nomination, I look forward to
continuing on with that legacy,” Wilks said. Wilks spent the last four years in federal politics as the Kootenay-Columbia MP within the Conservative Party, however, he lost his re-election bid to NDP candidate Wayne Stetski by only 200 votes. Prior to his time in federal politics, Wilks served as mayor of Sparwood and also at the RDEK table, where he was able to establish relationships with regional elected representatives. “If you think about from the perspective, municipally, any mayor — I know them all personally — they have to be able to just call you if they think that they need something within their city, town, village,” Wilks said. “For me, federally, I know all of the players from the Conservative side and I know a lot of the Liberals and NDP as well. I think people know me good enough to know that I can work across party lines. I don’t have a problem with that.” Responsibility for certain issues can vary at the provincial and federal levels, but there area a few issues that Wilks would like to address. In the Elk Valley, Wilks would like to get the federal government to divest it’s hold on the Dominion coal block, which is inside Parcel 73 and 82. Wilks will be keeping an eye on Mainroad Contracting and seeing how they fare with high-

way maintenance in the winter season now that the company has a new contract with the province. Cranbrook is the hub of the Kootenays and it will be important to ensure that the city gets the services needed to serve not just the city but the region as well, Wilks added. He singled out supporting the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District Board, which has a jurisdiction throughout the region that is beyond the Kootenay East riding boundary. Wilks added that following in the footsteps of Bennett — who served 16 years in politics — isn’t all that intimidating, since he did
it before when he took over from former Conservative MP Jim Abbott, who represented the riding for 17 years. “Each person has their own unique qualities and their own abilities,” Wilks said. “I believe I’ve been able to prove myself over time not only federally but municipally and regionally that I’m one that likes to get things done.” He also isn’t shy about admitting that he likely won’t be the only one in the race for the B.C. Liberal nomination. “I hope it’s a spirited nomination and may the best person win,” Wilks said.
THE WAY IT WAS
Driver Ed in 1957 Courtesy of the Kimberley Heritage Museum Archives
KIMBERLEY NEWS JUNE 26, 1957 HIGH SCHOOL DRIVER EDUCATION
In September 1956, the Department of Education issued a Curriculum Circular detailing a program for definite teaching under Health and Personal Development in driver education for students enrolled in Grades 10, 11 and 12. The theoretical work in the school instruction was designed so it could be supplemented by an actual driver course organized as a communi-
ty enterprise. Dual-control cars are available for these driver training courses through arrangements made with Chrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company and General Motors. Ask your dealer about it. “The Department of University Extension at U.B.C. provides a summer course in Driver Education for Secondary School Teachers, made possible through funds provided by the Allstate Insurance Company. Is there a high school teacher from your community planning to take this course?” The above are excerpts from a Press release we received from
the Department of Attorney General, Motor Vehicle branch, at Victoria. Just recently Kimberley was one of six cities of over 10,000 population in British Columbia to receive an award for a fatal accident free 1956. This is an enviable record and the citizens of Kimberley deserve heartiest congratulations, but we cannot allow the matter to rest at that point. Because 1956 was an accident free year and because each and every one of us is striving to make 1957 the same, does not mean to say it will be the same. See Page 5

From Page 4 Each year a great number of our young citizens purchase cars and each year this new group of drivers congregate on our highways and streets and even though they know the meaning and value of safety, speed is still of permanent importance. Speed is the leading killer in a highway accident and unless our new drivers are educated in this fact and schooled to keep their automobiles within the required sped limit, accidents will ensue. We can see no better way of teaching prospective drivers the facts of
driving than through supervised driver training course in our high schools. They are being taught how to drive safely in the sanctity of the school yard before they actually drive at risk to others. When they pass their driver’s test and get their licence we can be assured that they have had proper supervised training and know how to drive. We, in Kimberley,
have the same opportunity as citizens in other communities. Cities and districts such as Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Haney, Mission, Chilliwack and Penticton have already taken advantage of the generous offers of our leading car manufacturers and Allstate Insurance Company. It would be a good idea if Kimberley followed their example.

Users of the Kimberley Nature Park and Horse Barn Valley Interpretive Forest are invited to submit their best images by Oct. 10, 2016. Entries will be judged by members of the Kimberley Camera Club in four categories— Plants; Wildlife; Landscapes, Views & Special Places; and People in the Park. Multiple entries may be submitted in each category, and archival photos may be included. The winning entry in the Kimberley Nature Park Society’s photo contest will receive a $500 cash prize, and the best entries will be showcased in November at a special slideshow presentation at Centre 64. The contest is being organized by the Kimberley Nature Park Society, which is working on a comprehensive redesign of the Kimberley Nature Park’s website. The society reserves the right to use all submitted images (with attribution to the photographer) on the new website, on its Facebook page, and in future print materials. “We’re looking for outstanding images in all four categories,” says Kent Goodwin, president of the Kimberley Nature Park Society. “We’re hoping people will take the opportunity to visit and revisit their favourite places in the Kimberley Nature Park and Horse Barn Valley Interpretive Forest to capture the essence of what they
think is truly special.” Organizers would like to receive a selection of images from all four seasons, so they will also accept images from previous years as long as they were taken within the boundaries of the Kimberley Nature Park and Horse Barn Valley Interpretive Forest. The Kimberley Camera Club will judge the entries and compile a slideshow for presentation on Nov. 17 at Centre 64. All images should be submitted in the photographer’s name, but no wording should appear on the actual image. Signage of trails, lakes, cabins and trailheads are encouraged, along with images in the four contest categories. Judges will be looking for such things as quality, composition and originality, and will award prizes in each category in addition to the grand prize. The contest is open to everyone with a camera. Images can be landscape or portrait and should be submitted in the jpeg format. They should be at least 1400 x 1050 pixels in size, and the resolution should be 150 pixels. Images taken with SLR cameras, short video clips, and images taken with phone cameras are welcome. Before submitting, interested photographers are encouraged to visit the photo contest rules page at www.kimberleynaturepark.ca. To qualify, all images must be submitted by Oct. 10 to kimberleycameraclub321@gmail. com.

A very ingenious bright idea “There is nothing wrong with having nothing to say unless one insists on publishing it.” Anonymous.
A
ny reporter of consequence would do his very best to find out all the facts but I am not a reporter nor am I avid, so I won’t even attempt to discuss the origins of Cranbrook’s Community Forest; I’d be faking it. However the forest as such has been there since the beginning of time and since some bright person or persons had the bright idea of keeping the ravenous hands of real estate folk off it and making it a park. I, even in my dotage, still regularly totter on my feet or wobble on my bicycle up that way for a breath of fresh air and a constitutional, whatever that is. People are always up that way for constitutionals and will probably continue to do so until the government finds a way of taxing such constitutionals, or banning them. Because of my great age and probably my senility, I have been thoroughly lost in that region and, when lost, met some interesting folk who didn’t seem at the time to realize that they too were lost. One day, I ventured with a good but totally-inadequate-as-a-guide friend into
the forest by way of the college recycling area, although we were not cycling that time. That is not an entry that I would recommend and so that is probably why we didn’t come out that way. Well! I don’t think we did. Our pick-up wasn’t waiting patiently for us at our point of exodus. The young fellow who finally directed us back towards the city didn’t call us doddering old fools to our withered faces probably because both of us had at one time taught him at Mount Baker School of Geography and Cartography. He never did bother to tell us why our vehicle wasn’t where we’d left it many weary hours earliPeter er. That area used to be Warland known to us as The Alkalies, those swampy pools where more adventurous youth used to drive and get thoroughly stuck. I recall a Chevvy truck standing in the middle of one pool with a fair naiad sitting in it looking thoroughly unhappy. After a yelled conversation with her, we discovered that her driver had gone for help and was now driving around the countryside with someone else looking for an even longer tow cable. She used some words — probably technical — that I didn’t know. When that legendary indigenous person was asked aeons ago if he was lost he replied, according to the legend, “No. My
Letters to the Editor
teepee’s lost.” N.B. In the original tale it was a wigwam. Well, the second time that my friend and I got turned around up there behind the alkalies it was my pickup that became confused and got its silly self misplaced, and I do wish folk would stop telling me that they’d recently seen that red Nissan looking for me. That is ridiculous; after that awful episode I had it shot like a sick dog. Every day you can see healthy dogs escorting their humans though the dangerous wilderness around the alkalies. Where once wolves and coyotes roamed dogs now hold sway. In fact, at one time, I was sure that it was compulsory in the community forest for humans to be escorted by at least one domesticated canine quadruped. One can’t blame dogs but the trails that have grown up there in the communist forest are extremely confusing. Juniper Lane, for example, goes absolutely nowhere near the bowling alley of that name, I discovered, and a person can travel in a straight line for kilometers and keep crossing Loggers’ Lane. Up near Big Tree one confused person once told me that he had no idea where he was and asked if I could direct him back to Wasa where he’d started on the lake circuit. But the Community Forest was a very good idea and somebody ought to be congratulated about it. I’d take on the task myself but I’d probably get turned around on the way and I no longer have a dog.

The Russians are coming!
Kootenay Ice make big splash, select highly-touted forward Klim Kostin, bruising defenceman Nikita Radzivilyuk at import draft TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor
The Russians are coming! At least that’s what Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, is hoping. Chynoweth and the Ice held the first-overall pick at the 2016 CHL Import Draft, which took place via conference call Tuesday morning. With the top pick at the annual international refresh, Chynoweth selected elite Russian prospect Klim Kostin, a 17-year-old forward who captained his nation’s entries at the 2015 World U17 Hockey Challenge and 2016 U18 Hockey Championship. Kostin — standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 183 pounds — is eligible for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and widely projected as a preliminary name to look for in the first round. In addition to Kostin, Chynoweth selected another Russian, Nikita Radzivilyuk — a bruising, 6-foot-3, 187-pound blue-liner — with the 61st pick at the top of the second round. “It’s a tough draft, make no bones about it. It’s not a level playing field,” Chynoweth said.
“It’s very difficult to select players, unfortunately. You’ve got to work with agents you trust and that you’ve had a rapport with over time. If you don’t, it makes it even more difficult.
“Everyone I talk to raves about [Kostin’s] potential. He’s a big man and growing. He has leadership qualities and possesses an offensive upside — all the things NHL teams look for in a big forward.” Kostin has already caught the eye of the many pro scouts in North America, with TSN’s Craig Button listing the native of Penza, Russia, as one of his preliminary ‘17 in 2017’ names to watch for next year’s NHL Entry Draft. “Powerful winger who can beat defenders one-on-one with skill, but also drives the net and attacks to scoring areas with real determination,” Button wrote of Kostin. “Smart and not one-dimensional and
can make a play off the wing and because he’s a threat to drive past a defender, he can take advantage of ice if they back off. Very good speed, quickness and balance and is very difficult to knock awry.” While the selection of Kostin is worthy of excitement for Kootenay Ice fans, temperament of expectations is advised. Chynoweth expects Kostin will report to Cranbrook and suit up for the Kootenay Ice for the 2016-17 Western Hockey League season, but as he reiterates after each and every import draft, nothing is guaranteed until you see a player walk through the door for training camp. “We’ve heard that he will [report], but again, until you see the whites of their eyes, we don’t really believe anything,” Chynoweth said. “It’s definitely not a slam dunk. But I do think, from all reports from the people we’ve talked to, he will be coming over. “We think there’s a good chance, but there’s no guarantee [he reports]. “He’s a world-class player and if he comes, he makes our team better immediately.” Key in Chynoweth’s

Russian captain Klim Kostin (#24) fends off a Finnish opponent during the 2016 U18 World Championships. Kostin was selected by the Kootenay Ice with the first-overall pick at the 2016 CHL Import Draft on Tuesday. selection of Kostin is the fact the young Russian is represented by the same player agency that helped bring a former Kootenay Ice fan favourite to Cranbrook. Rinat Valiev — a 2014 third-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs — is represented by the same agency now representing both Kostin and Radzivilyuk. Valiev came to North
America in 2012-13, first suiting up for the Indiana Ice of the United States Hockey League, before being selected by the WHL’s Kootenay Ice at the 2013 CHL Import Draft. The native of Nizhnekamsk, Russia, promptly came north of the border and went on to be one of the most exciting defencemen to suit up for the Kootenay Ice in recent history,
amassing 74 points in 107 career games in Cranbrook. While the jury remains out on Kostin, there are fewer doubts in regards to Radzivilyuk’s intent to report to Cranbrook. “Guaranteed 100 per cent,” Chynoweth said of Radzivilyuk. “He will be here for sure. “There’s potential there. He brings a physical presence and he’s 6-foot-3 already. He likes to play physical, but his
offensive side should improve as he matures.” The addition of Radzivilyuk gives the Ice a second 1999-born defenceman, helping boost the organizational depth in that particular age group. Sam Huston (2014, ninth round — 198th) is the other 1999born defenceman on the depth chart after 2014 first-round pick Griffin Mendel opted to take the NCAA route via the University of Denver.

Short-handed Bandits strikeout at Big Bucks tourney TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor
A short-handed Cranbrook Bandits squad battled, but ultimately came up short this past weekend at the Big Bucks Tournament in Libby, Mont. The Bandits, without the services of a number of veteran players due to graduation ceremonies ongoing in both Cranbrook and Kimberley, took a young crew, including practice roster players, south of the border for the Libby Loggers’ Big Bucks Tournament. Opening the tournament Friday, the Bandits fell 14-6 to the Coeur d’Alene Lumbermen, before dropping a 9-1 decision to the Tri-County Cardinals Saturday morning. A Saturday afternoon matinee saw the Bandits shot down 10-1 by the Lewiston Cubs. Having dropped three games in round-robin action, the Bandits faced the Strathmore Reds on championship Sunday, finishing the weekend with a 6-5 defeat. The weekend results

Ice select Russian Kostin at CHL Import Draft CONTINUED from page 8 Kostin spent the 2015-16 campaign with HC MVD Balashikha of the Russian Junior Hockey League (MHL). In 30 games, the skilled forward registered eight goals and 21 assists, good for 29 points alongside 74 penalty minutes. He also added two goals and five points in six games at the U17 Challenge, before posting four assists in five games at the U18 World Championship. Radzivilyuk, who is also eligible for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, spent the 2015-16 season with Tyumenski Legion U17 where he collected three goals and eight assists for 11 points in 26 games. “Unfortunately, we’ve got a lot of holes on our team,” Chynoweth said. “We couldn’t have gone wrong if we selected two forwards or two defence-

men. We need help. These are just some more building blocks that we will need moving forward. “Obviously we’re happy, but until we see them both arrive here in August then maybe we can get a little more excited.” All 60 of the CHL’s member clubs were eligible to participate in the 2016 CHL Import Draft, though a handful opted to pass on selections in favour of retaining import players already on their roster. The Ice selected forward Roman Dymacek (Czech Republic) and defenceman Mario Grman (Slovakia) at the 2015 import draft, but released both following the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, opening up space for both Kostin and Radzivilyuk.

Keep Our Roads Safe
SCHOOL’S OUT - keep kids safe on our roads this summer, ICBC urges drivers and parents Now that it’s officially summer and B.C. schools are heading into summer break, drivers should expect even more children playing outside. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids so it’s important to pay extra attention when you’re driving, especially around playgrounds and residential areas and for parents to go over the rules of the road with their children. On average, 153 child pedestrians (aged five to 15) are injured in crashes each year in B.C.* • SLOW DOWN: With more children playing outside in the summer, be cautious and R O F S watch your speed, especially near playgrounds, parks and in residential areas. w TIP Playground speed limits remain in effect year-round. : S R E • WATCH FOR CLUES: In residential areas, a hockey net or ball can mean that kids DRIV playing nearby. Remember that a child could dash into the street at any moment. are pla Pay attention and always anticipate the unexpected.
Driving is a privilege not a right
DRIVE SAFELY. An active part of the community (And proud of it.) Open 7 days a week, 8am to 9pm :DUUHQ $YHQXH .LPEHUOH\ ‡
• WATCH FOR CYCLISTS: Actively watch for cyclists on the road who might be harder to see. Make eye contact with them whenever possible to let them know you have seen them. Shoulder check for cyclists before turning right and watch for oncoming cyclists before turning left. • FOCUS ON THE BASICS: Go over these important road safety tips with your R O F S cchildren – even older children need to be reminded about road safety. P TI SET A GOOD EXAMPLE: Never jaywalk or run across the street. Where possible, S: •cross T N E R at intersections with a pedestrian crossing light or marked crossing. PA
• PARKED VEH VEHICLES: Encourage your children to avoid shortcuts through parking lots or around
parked cars where it’s harder for drivers to see small children.
• SAFE DRIVING WITH CHILDREN: Relatives, friends’ parents, and other caregivers often transport
children in the summer. The law requires children be secured in car seats or booster seats until they are four feet nine inches tall or at least nine years old. Make sure your children’s seats or boosters goes with them if they might travel without you by car.
• CYCLING 101: Cyclist injuries from crashes with vehicles peak in July and August. It’s never too early to teach your children safe cycling behaviour – it could help make it second-nature to them when they’re older. Start by covering these basics: • Cycle in a straight line, avoid weaving and try to be as predictable as possible. • When sharing a path with pedestrians, ride on the right hand side for everyone’s safety. Use a bell or horn to alert others when you plan to pass. • When turning, shoulder check well in advance, hand signal and then with both hands on the handle bars, shoulder check again before turning. • Make sure children wear approved helmets that meet safety standards every time they ride their bikes and periodically inspect them for signs of wear. B.C.’s mobile device law
According to section 214.2 of the Motor Vehicle Act, a driver cannot operate a hand-held electronic device (including handheld cellphones, smartphones, tablets, and other electronic hand-held devices such as music players, GPS Navigation Systems, etc.). Also, a driver cannot communicate using text messages or email on any type of device. Drivers in the Graduated Licensing Program (GLP) are restricted from using hands-free cellphones while driving. Drivers with a regular licence are permitted to use hands-free cellphones and devices that can be operated with one touch or voice command, provided that the device is securely fixed to the vehicle or worn securely on the driver’s body. Any driver caught texting, emailing, holding a cellphone or other hand-held electronic device while driving will be fined $368 and receive four driver penalty points.

It happened this week in Cranbrook For the Week Of June 26 – July 2
Dav e H u m p h r e y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives
1905 Bad wreck … Last Monday morning the east bound passenger train with Conductor Corey in charge ran into a rock slide four miles east of Frank. The engine, mail and baggage cars were derailed and wrecked but none of the passenger coaches or passengers were injured. George Grant, the fireman, was pinned down under the engine by one hand being caught, and before he could be rescued he was badly scalded by escaping steam. J. H. Caslake, the engineer, was thrown from the cab window as the engine went over and lighted on his feet in the bush without the slightest injury. The train did not reach Cranbrook until one o’clock next morning. Mr. Caslake came down as a passenger Mr. Grant was taken to the hospital at Frank where everything possible was done for him, but he died about 2 o’clock the following morning. In Cranbrook, where the deceased had so many friends, the news of the acci-
dent, and his death, gave rise to an intense feeling of sorrow. The remains were sent back to Wolseley, Assa., where his people reside. New safe … W. F. Tate & Son installed their big, new safe yesterday. It weighs over 4,000 pounds, and is both burglar and fire proof, or as much so as is possible for modern science in safe making can do in that direction. The firm had a large safe before, but with the increase in their stock, and more especially the great increase in the watch repairing business, it became necessary to provide more sale room for the protection of their patrons. This safe is one of the best made and will hold forty trays of watches and jewelry. The man who leaves a watch with this firm can rest assured that not only will the watch be repaired in a workmanlike manner, but that it will be kept safely at night. These two points are important to people, for they neither want their watch spoiled nor stolen. The big safe is another milestone in the progress of Tate & Son, and is material evidence of the fact that their business is rapidly growing and the growth is based on the best of foundations, absolute merit.

Hose team … The members of the fire brigade who will make up the team in the hose race at Moyie on the first are practicing nearly every evening and are doing some good work. They started out making the run in about 39 seconds, and have cut the time down four or five seconds by hard practice. The great trouble is due to the fact that it is hard to get the same crowd out each night, but yet they will endeavor to make as good a showing as possible for the team. Ouches x 2! … J. Pruden, engineer at North Star mill, caught one of the fingers on his left hand yesterday while at work on some machinery and had the end knocked off. He hurried to town and had it attended to and the fact that no time was lost may enable him to save the injured member. J. G. MaCallum met with a severe accident this morning. A broad axe fell off the counter and the blade struck his right foot cutting a bad gash, but fortunately not causing a permanent injury. School concert … The school concert given last Friday evening at Wentworth hall was a great success in every way and a great credit to the teachers who had the entertainment in charge. Mrs. Brock, who was the promoter of the movement, worked like a Trojan, and was ably assisted by Miss Lewis and Miss McVicer, The pupils did their work nicely and some of the numbers were especially fine. These school concerts are an excellent thing for the children as they tend to give pupils confidence in self in public, and that is as much part of education as studying lessons from the books. Five hold-ups … Five daring robberies and hold-ups have occurred in Fernie during the week. The first took place at about four o’clock on Monday morning at the Fernie hotel. Three masked men entered the hotel and as the night porter, E. Haynes, came up from stoking the furnace he was confronted with a pistol. He was relieved of all the money on his person, about $17. He was then tied to a chair with towels and after robbing the till of its contents, amounting to $20, the robbers departed. The porter says he called immediately but considerable time elapsed before he attracted attention. The description given by the porter is very vague. They were masked and wore green goggles. One wore long laced boots and was a tall heavy man and addressed one of his companions as Dan, A lady a few blocks down the street says she saw two masked men at that hour talking on the street. They either were colored men or wore gloves and their faces were masked. The porter says the parties were white men. On the following night three
Don’t just leave your house building dynamite lying around for kids to play with. robberies occurred, all exactly in the same manner, W. J. Blundell’s store was entered by the outside cellar, entrance and thence up the inside cellar steps. The till was robbed of $4.50 in five and ten cent pieces. Mr. Blundell believes that none of his goods in the store were touched. The King’s hotel was entered in the same manner and $15 was taken from the till, R. Moore was awakened by the closing of a door at five o’clock, but thinking it was, one of the boys he paid no attention to it. It was the thieves going out the side entrance. The Union hotel in the Old town was “touched” in the same manner. The robbers got up the cellar way and departed through the door. They got about $8 out of Simon Dragon’s till. Again this morning, Leslie Mills of the Central hotel reports that an attempt was made to hold his house up at 4 o’clock this morning. He was on duty himself, and being somewhat suspicious of trouble he had a rifle standing behind the bar. Two masked men entered the front door and demanded his money, but Mr. Mills grabbed for his gun and the uninvited guests needed no further hint to make a hasty retreat. It is a significant fact that these depredations have all been done during the early hours of the morning after two o’clock at which hour the night policeman goes off duty. Yesterday and last night a general round-up of undesirable characters was made by the police and the result is that this morning a docket of thirteen cases confronted the magistrate. It is more than likely that among these are some who know more than they should of the wholesale robberies that have taken place in the city this week. Housing boom! … Parties digging a cellar on Baker Hill used dynamite for blasting purposes and at night the caps were not put away as they should have been. Last Thursday evening, Clarence, the four year old son of H. Hickenbotham, found one of them and took it home, and boy-like, proceeded to place it on a rock and with another rock produce an explosion by pounding the cap. The boy was suc-
cessful, and as a result his right hand was badly mutilated. No time was lost in taking the victim of the accident to the hospital, where the injured member was taken care of by Dr. King. It was a narrow escape, but fortunately the boy is now out of the hospital and getting along nicely. F. C. Malpas, who lives in that part of the town, was told by a lady in the neighborhood that she thought she had seen his boy playing with some of the caps. Mrs. Malpas and the children had gone to Wasa for a few days and naturally Mr. Malpas was worried with the fear that perhaps his boy had carried the caps with him and would also get into trouble. Telephoning to Fort Steele he had Mr. Geary send a messenger to Wasa to warn Mrs. Malpas of the probable danger. He was much relieved later in the day to receive word back from his wife that she had searched the boy’s pockets and there were no trace of the caps. Pot holes … Road Superintendent McKay could do some good work for posterity if he would fill some of the mud holes in the streets of Cranbrook. The people of this town pay their taxes to the provincial government and the majority would be pleased to get something in return by way of a guarantee of good faith. New doors … The Imperial bank has had two new doors placed in its front that are an artistic piece of work, so much so in fact that they have elicited from the people the most enthusiastic praise. The doors are grained to compare with the fine furnishings just installed by the bank, and a better piece of work was never done in western Canada. Bradley & Co., who did the work, have been receiving all kinds of compliments. Fish story … The party of Wilmer ladies and gentlemen who camped at the Fish lakes for a week, have returned with some tall stories. The highest estimate of the catch is modestly put down to be only 8,765 and the largest fish caught was just a little longer than a fence. They all report having enjoyed themselves.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lot to offer. In the past few months, you might have done some self-reflection and deep thinking about your actions. This period will be ending soon, so consider taking action. You don’t have to, but you’ll at least want to consider it. Tonight: Claim your power. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone close to you could be cantankerous and difficult. At this point in time, it appears that whatever this person says is likely to wash over you like water. Still, be aware that his or her tune is about to change and you will want to respond in kind. Tonight: All smiles. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll recognize a change in the energy around you, but you might not be sure of your choices. It’s possible that you will open up to a new way of interacting with your friends. You are more concerned about their well-being than you might have
Features
expressed. Tonight: Take it easy. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sense of humor and ability to acknowledge your feelings is likely to put you in touch with any information you have been trying to avoid. Your perceptions might have changed, and they will again. Tonight: Work with what you know instead of with what you don’t. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to a boss explain his or her perspective and goals. You have a lot going on at the homefront right now. You will want to pull back and take a look at everything that is changing. You might decide to do less than you originally had intended. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have an opportunity to see the big picture. Make decisions after some of the chaos around you settles down. Be more in touch with your feelings about recent talks. Express your opinions after you have done enough reflection to be sure of yourself. Tonight: Listen to others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Listen to whatever someone chooses to share. This person might be airing out some problems close to the real issue that he or she wants to discuss. Your responses could determine the outcome. Try to encourage him or her to be more open. Tonight: Chat over dinner. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Mars goes directly into your sign today. You are likely to tell it like it is and express your irritation, especially if you have been holding back your feelings for a while. Your softer side will find the right way to deliver the message, if you so choose. Tonight: Go for the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have a lot going on within you. You might find that some anger comes forward that you have not been in touch with for a while. One-on-one relating becomes more effective, and you’ll discover the power of sharing your feelings often. Tonight: Express your real thoughts. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You see a situation much differ-
ently from how a friend sees it, despite this person’s attempts to have you agree with him or her. You could find that a loved one is much more receptive than he or she has been in a long time. Tonight: Seize the moment! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have seen controversy surrounding a boss or higher-up. A situation evolves where the air can be cleared quite quickly and effectively. Still, you might want to hold back and see where others are coming from. Let your feelings guide you. Tonight: Head home early. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Try to see the big picture before you determine how to respond. You might need more feedback. Understand what is happening before you verbalize your opinions. You will gain others’ respect for proceeding in this way. Time is your ally. Tonight: Read between the lines.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: A month ago, my wife was bitten by our neighbor’s foster dog. While the dog was healthy and had had all of its shots, the bite became infected and required a doctor’s care. This turned out to be a lengthy process, including shots and a prescription. It seems to be healing up. Our insurance paid the bill, and so far we have not received anything indicating that we owe money. The neighbor has apologized many times and the dog has been returned to the facility. Our neighbor is very nice and we don’t want to create a conflict. Should we just let it go, or should the neighbor reimburse us for any additional costs? -- Not Sure Dear Not Sure: If there is no additional cost for your wife’s medical bills or prescriptions, we think your neighbor has done all she can -- apologized profusely and returned the dog. However, should a medical bill show up in the mail, you ought to ask your neighbor whether she would like to pay it or split it with you. She might actually feel better knowing she has not saddled you with a bill because of the dog. Dear Annie: I have been crying my eyes out for the last week. Our beautiful, talented, intelligent daughter, “Susie,” became pregnant during her last semester of college. The father was a classmate. He comes from a very traditional culture and his parents have a successful business. When Susie told her boyfriend about the baby, he did not respond. My husband threatened to hire a lawyer, so Susie informed him that he had to tell his parents about the baby. They demanded a paternity test, which proved their son was the father. Although we recommended adoption, Susie opted to keep the baby. The lawyer got a decent amount of child support based on the boyfriend’s income. But a month later, the boyfriend suddenly quit his job and moved back to his parents’ native country. Our grandson is now 3, and Susie barely earns enough for child care and rent. Last week, I got a call from the mother of one of Susie’s college friends. Apparently, her daughter had invited Susie to her recent wedding, and Susie sent a note saying she’d be out of town. But another friend saw Susie boarding a bus the morning of the wedding. When I asked Susie, she started sobbing. She said she didn’t have enough money to buy a dress and get her hair done for the big day. So she maxed out her credit card to send a nice gift. What’s worse, the bride had intended to introduce Susie to her cousin, a nice professional man from out of state. Now he’s back on the West Coast and Susie is stuck in a third-floor walk-up. Annie, I worry that it is too late for Susie, but please warn other young women. When it comes to a pregnancy, it is always the woman who pays the price. -- Brokenhearted Mom Dear Mom: Please stop concentrating on whether or not Susie has a man in her life. That is not her focus right now, nor should it be. If she cannot get child support from her reprobate ex-boyfriend, she will need your assistance to get by. Can you help with rent? What about child care? Please think about how you can make Susie’s life easier. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Cranbrook City Councillor Isaac Hockley and Gabrielle Hockley hit the podium at a wake surfing competition in Mossdale Quarry Lake in California in the middle of June. Gabrielle finished in third place while Isaac finished in second place, both in the amateur division. Both were beaten by the number one-ranked amateur wake surfer in the world in both the men’s and women’s categories. The competition was a part of the World Series of Wakesurfing and Lake Koocanusa will be a stop on the tour from July 22-23 out at Sunshine Houseboats.
WEST KOOTENAY
Arrest made after threats close South Slocan school, force grad postponement CANADIAN PRESS
NELSON, B.C. - A male student has been arrested after threats forced the evacuation of a high school in the West Kootenay. Nelson RCMP said they received reports last Thursday about a possible threat to Mount Sentinel Secondary in South Slocan, about 25 kilometres west of Nelson. Officers arrived at the school to find a student being detained by school officials and took him into custody, police said. Officials evacuated the school and dismissed students early on Friday. They also decided to postpone graduation ceremonies set for the weekend and
cancel classes on Monday and Tuesday. The threat was determined to be very serious and involved an isolated incident, police said, adding the investigation is ongoing. The student is facing a number of criminal charges and was expected to appear in provincial court in Castlegar on Monday. Staff members met Tuesday to make alternate plans for graduation, school officials said Monday in an update posted to the school district’s website. Students can go back to the school Wednesday morning to clean out their lockers and say their farewells, the post said.
