Kimberley RCMP kept busy on Monday FOR THE TOWNSMAN

On Monday July 11, Kimberley RCMP were kept busy with a number of incidents over a twelve hour period. The first took place just after lunch. Two subjects got into an altercation on Spokane Street and a subject punched another knocking his two front teeth out. The suspect departed prior to police arrival. Shortly after that police were called to a crash on Highway 93/95 at the

Wasa Rest Area. A pickup truck was passing a tractor trailer unit, when the unit began to make a left turn. The semi struck the side of the pick-up forcing it into the ditch. Fortunately there were no injuries. After that police received a report of a stolen travel trailer. The owner had parked it on the White Swan Forest Service Road and attended the Lussier Hot Springs with his family.

When he came back he found the hitch lock had been broken and the trailer gone. Police made patrols in the area but it was not located until the morning of July 12, where it was recovered close to Fort Steele. Later in the evening an officer conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle operating without tail lights. While dealing with the driver, he noted signs of impairment.

Local cadets heading off to summer training FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Canadian Rockies International Airport was a busy place on Sunday morning, July 10. Over 60 Sea, Army and Air Cadets gathered to board a charter flight, which would be taking them closer to their summer training destination. Youth 12 – 18, from West & East Kootenay Region have been selected to attend a 2, 3 or 6 week Summer Training Course at one of the British Columbia and Alberta Cadet Training Centers. For many of these cadets, it was their first time traveling away from home. They were all nervous – excited. Depending on the Cadet Training Center destination, some cadets will have travelled on all modes of transportation – car, bus, airplane and ferry. Summer Training is an optional component of the Cadet Training Program and cadets earn a training bonus for attending. Courses are designed to enhance the cadets’ leadership, comradeship, and personal skills, as well as, gaining knowledge in that particular subject matter. Some courses are specific to the training element they are in, while General Training, Drill & Ceremonial, Sports & Fitness and Music courses include cadets from all three elements - Sea, Army and Air. Local cadets in sea, air, army disciplines are heading off to various summer training programs in B.C. and Alberta.

The annual Colombo Lodge Men’s Bocce Tournament was held Sunday, June 26, on Colombo Lodge grounds. Two-man teams from Cranbrook, Nelson and Trail competed in the one-day tournament. For the second consecutive year, Trail’s Joe Bertuzzi and Hans Barth claimed the first-place prize in the ‘A’ Division. Prior to the Trail team’s victory in 2015, the last time a team from Trail won the title was in 1986. That team also featured Bertuzzi. Pictured: Members of the first place, second place and third place teams in the ‘A’ and ‘B’ Division, including Cranbrook’s Harvey Venier and Rob Venier (second place, ‘A’ Division).

A July Festivus C AROLYN GR ANT

Kimberley has its share of festivals, but always billed as the Best of the Fests is JulyFest; and it’s all set to go this weekend. “We are looking good,” said this year’s Fest coordinator Darren Shaben. “We’ve got over 180 bocce teams, the bands are booked and the parade is looking good.” There are also plenty of volunteers lined up, although more would never be turned away if you’re interested in helping out. This year’s outdoor stage at the bocce pits will be a bigger, better, professional stage, supplied by local musician Fraser Armstrong. The lineup for music is: Friday July 15th 4:15-5:30 pm: 145 5:45-7:00 Bison Brothers 7:15-8:30 The Oak Republic 8:45-10:00 Warden Tao’s Obedient Sheep 10:15-11:30 Crooked Line Saturday July 16th 12:00-1:15 Lost Gypsy !:30-2:45 Inpursuit 3:00-4:15 Jamie Neve 4:30-5:45 Gut’s 6:00-7:15 Easy Ruckus 7:30-8:45 Out on a Limb And don’t forget the big Civic Centre evening beginning at 9 p.m. Satur-

The St. Eugene Church, which was originally built in 1898, is getting a facelift.

day. This year offers a Reggae Fest with Taj Weekes & Adowa, Dubmatix and The Good ol’ Goats. Tickets 30 dollars available at Julyfest front gates. There will be eight to ten food trucks available at the bocce pits, and Spirit Rock will be bringing their climbing wall to the Kids Fest, which takes place right next door to the bocce championships in Rotary Park. While the Canadian Bocce Championships are one of the biggest draws for JulyFest — along with the huge soccer tournament which goes all weekend — there are lots of other activities available as well. The annual JulyFest Parade will take its traditional route from Centennial Hall to the Civic Centre, beginning at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The Kootenay Orienteering Club is hosting 5 and 10 K runs beginning at 8 a.m. Join the Kimberley Rotary Club on Saturday before the parade for a pancake breakfast at the bocce area beginning at 8:30 a.m. Sunday is finals day for bocce and soccer — always exciting, and for amazing thrills, it’s the annual Sullivan Pub Extreme Longboard Downhill race from noon to 4 p.m. Racers will be coming down Selkirk Hill, across the highway and down to McKim School.

Aq’am restoring St. Eugene Church CONTINUED from page 1 In fact, the stained glass windows were imported from Italy and are still in their original condition. Built by local Aq’am band members, the interior was pieced together using a tongue and groove methodology, opening for worship on Palm Sunday in 1898. The building is one of the few remaining Victorian-era wooden churches in the province. In a statement by band elders developed in 2008, the church represents significant heritage

value. “The church symbolizes the spiritual values of the past and illustrates the importance of religion in the late 19th century community,” reads the statement. “The church represents the spiritual evolution of the community and it is a symbol of the imposition of the European culture onto the area. “The site has a history of 10,000 years of settlement. There is a continuous history of this site being a place of gathering and brining people together from around the region to celebrate and congre-

gate. It is a traditional ceremonial gathering place. The size of the church reflects the size of the community at the time the church was built. The church is part of the legacy of the community and it continues to be valued as a place for the celebration and honouring of all the significant events of life.” Restoration work on the church began in 2011, as the building was lifted, underpinned and given a new foundation. MDG Contracting is the contractor on the current project and is utilizing local subcontractors to complete the various aspects of the restoration.

Busy Monday for Kimberley RCMP CONTINUED from page 1 A breath demand was made but the driver did not provide a suitable sample. As a result of the refusal she is now prohibited from driving for a period of 90 days

and her vehicle has been impounded for 30 days. About the same time police were called to a collision on highway 93/95 south of Canal

Flats. The driver claims he hydro planned on the wet road lost control and hit the ditch. The vehicle rolled but the driver was not injured. The driver was served a violation ticket for

Speed relative to Conditions. It turns out the driver was the suspect in the assault that took place earlier in the day. He was arrested for the assault and will attend court in October.

It Happened This Week in Cranbrook Week July 10 - 16 DAVE HUMPHREY

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives 1905 Fink Bros. … Have you seen those straw hats? These warm days remind you. Nobby styles and prices remarkably low. Put that Christie away and buy a nice, cool straw and be happy. Pay rolls make towns … Marysville has the payroll. It is the Smelter City and the Gateway to rich St. Marys Valley. Marysville property today is the best kind of an investment. The smelter is completed and the town will grow. Write for plans, prices, and particulars to E. J.Clayton, sole agent. The biggest yet ... Captain Gore, superintendent of the C. P. R. Co.’s steamers in Kootenay has received instructions to build a new steamer to ply between Nelson and Kootenay Landing, which for speed and equipment will surpass any fresh water steamer in British Columbia. The captain, who will have entire charge of the construction, says provision will be made to sleep 75 first-class passengers, which means that the boat will be much larger than the Rossland, now plying on the Arrow lakes between West Robson and Arrowhead. The specifications call for a speed of 18

miles an hour. This will cut down the present schedule time from Nelson to Kootenay Landing from five hours to three. Indeed, Captain Gore says she will be able to make it in two hours and three-quarters. As a result, passengers will be able to sleep in Nelson and leave at least two hours later than at present. The cost of the new steamer is not definitely stated, but it will run up into six figures. Taxes & more taxes … Have you people of Cranbrook figured up your taxes for this year? Have you noted the increase? When you get them figured up and strike a total, take a sheet of paper and figure up what the public improvements in Cranbrook have cost the past year. Who have built the sidewalks? The people by private subscription. Who has fixed the streets and repaired the sidewalks this year? No one. Who has cleared the streets on the hill where property has been sold and handsome homes erected? No one. What do the people of Cranbrook want? Do they desire to pay out taxes and increased taxes and get little or nothing in return, or do they want a square deal? There is something coming from the government and there is something coming from the townsite company. He who asketh nothing in this world getteth mighty little as he is classified as easy and passed up like a white chip. So long as the people of Cran-

brook are satisfied with paying increased taxes each year and getting nothing back in the way of improvements just so long will they have to keep it up. And just so long as the property owners are satisfied with going down in their pockets when anything is done to help the town just that long will they have to do it. What is more, if the people are pleased with existing conditions the Herald can stand it. It has stood it for a long time and can do so longer. But, perhaps there are a few people who, when they scan their tax receipts and figure in their own mind as to what benefits they have received, might object. If there are, the columns of the Herald are open to any fair communication on the subject. This is not a question of politics or personal spleen. It is a simple question of cold business. Log drive… The Crows Nest Pass Lumber Company of Wardner are making a big drive of logs down the Kootenay River this week. There was quite a jam at the Fort Steele bridge for a few days. Marysville beats Cranbrook … Last Saturday a football team made up from Cranbrook players went to Marysville and there at last they met their Waterloo. The game was called at a few minutes after 7 o’clock, and there was a big crowd present. Twice have the kickers of the pigskin of these two towns met and each time the game has result-

ed in a tie. Last Saturday the Marysville boys were determined to break the spell if possible, and they played like demons. The Cranbrook boys did all in their power to uphold the honor of the town and the reputation of the team, but without avail. Time and again the ball would be forced to the Marysville goal and a score seemed sure, but the quick work of the Marysville crowd prevented victory when it seemed almost assured. And by the way the Marysville town has got a bunch of strong players. They play well together and are in good trim, and the Herald hopes that a game can be arranged between Cranbrook and that town on Labor Day. The score resulted in one to nothing in favor of Marysville, and when time was called there was great rejoicing in the Smelter City. The game was clean throughout and each man played like a gentleman. Candy store … Charles E. Buck and D. R. Tait have opened a candy kitchen on Armstrong Avenue that is attracting a great deal of attention. It is clean and pleasing in appearance and the candies are fresh and appetizing. Have you seen the place? If not you should drop in and enjoy it. These gentlemen are desirous of giving the people of Cranbrook the benefit of fresh, homemade candies, and they are going about it in a manner that will win them custom.

Labour Day … On Friday evening at 8 o’clock there will be a public meeting at Wentworth hall for the purpose of making the preliminary arrangements for celebrating Labor Day. This day has been recognized as the big event for Cranbrook and this year it is the intention of those in charge to make the celebration the best one that has yet been given in the district if money and work will accomplish it. A cordial invitation is extended to the people to be present that evening and give an expression to their ideas. Mistaken arrest … Martin Rappez, a Slav living at Michel thought that his landlady had skipped out with $700 of his money. The latter’s arrest and the clearing up of the mystery cost Rappez enough to make him think twice before jumping at conclusions in the future. Rappez came to Fernie from the celebration with his landlady Paulina Surinna and $700 which he had saved for a trip to his old home. The lady in the meantime had planned a trip on her own account to Philadelphia and before leaving Michel she left the money in the keeping of Rappez’s son. The father in Fernie learned of the lady’s sudden departure and thinking it was a clear case of theft had the authorities detain her at Regina. Subsequent investigation revealed the facts as related and the lady went on her way.

Toastmasters is putting out the call to reconnect with former club members.

Toastmasters gathering former members FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Summer is a good time to reconnect with Toastmasters. For those in the know there are two clubs in Cranbrook: Cranbrook First Toastmasters established 43 years ago and Cranbrook Phoenix Toastmasters established 34 years ago. Both clubs are hosting meetings this summer and you are invited to polish your speaking skills and join us. Toastmasters International is a not for profit educational organisation that supports individuals who want to grow their leadership skills and those who want to improve their speaking skills. A person gains leadership skills by attending meetings and taking on meeting roles and in other ways as well. Meetings are the learning

environment and as leadership skills are developed people feel more comfortable taking on organisation rolls outside of Toastmasters. Members practice speaking skills in front of the Toastmasters group by doing prepared speeches and impromptu speaking. As members grow their speaking skills they feel more comfortable speaking to their peers in their work environments, doing job interviews or asking their boss for a raise. The impromptu speaking skills learned help with those moments when you are asked that difficult question like during a political debate or when your teen asks to use the car. Clear up your ums and ahs, learn how to use gestures and voice variation

as well learn how to tell tall tales. If you are a former Toastmaster remember that practice make perfect so come practice with us. Cranbrook First Toastmasters meets on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month at the College of the Rockies, room 210 at 7:15 in the evening. The next meeting is July 14th. Call Kathy for details 250-489-2526. Cranbrook Phoenix Toastmasters meets on the 1st and the 3rd Thursday of the month at 828 Baker St. in the Sunlife Financial office. Arrive by noon as the meeting starts at 1210 and runs for 50 minutes. The next meeting is July 21st. Call Roberta for details 250-489-0174

tinent of Europe accounts for 6.6 per cent of bookings. Considering that the B.C. government spends gobs of money on its “Super, Natural B.C.” ad campaign to market our great wilderness to the world, perhaps opposition critics could reacquaint themselves with reality before leaping for cheap media hits. The reservation system shows plenty of spaces, even at the most popular BC Parks campsites. Weekends are scarcer, and holidays like the upcoming B.C. Day weekend are snapped up as soon as the 90-day window for booking campgrounds comes around. One trick used by savvy B.C. campers when a long weekend approaches is to book a maximum two-week stay starting on their first day of eligibility, 90 days away. The second week stretches beyond the limit to the high-demand week that is not yet available for booking. Then they cancel the first week, get a refund for it, and hold onto the coveted long weekend spot. Environment Minister Mary Polak says creating more campsites in B.C. parks is the ultimate answer. Of course that will attract protests about paving paradise to put up a parking lot. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

TAYLOR ROCCA PHOTO

Bandits infielder Kei Chlopan (#13) tries to evade the tag as he slides into home plate as Tyler Thorn (#4) watches on during American Legion Baseball action at Confederation Park earlier this season. Chlopan, Thorn and the Bandits dropped two of three outings this past weekend and now prepare for the Lewistown Invitational, set to get underway Thursday in Lewistown, Mont. TAYLOR ROCC A

On the road in Kalispell this past weekend, the Cranbrook Bandits may not have found the results they were looking for, but that doesn’t mean head coach Paul Mrazek was unhappy with the battle and resolve of his club. South of the border for four contests, the Bandits (17-18-1) went 1-3-0 over the weekend’s affairs. Opening with a nail-biting victory over the Edmonton Cardinals, the Bandits then went on to drop decisions to the Walla Walla Bruins, Kalispell Lakers and Vauxhall to close the weekend. “We’re battling, coming back and we’re playing tough against good teams,” Mrazek said Tuesday. “I think we’re peaking at the right time. We need to clean things up defensively and I think we’ve played tighter defensively. We’ve played better with these better teams. We need to keep the pressure on and keep playing the way we’ve been playing.” Bandits veteran lefty Tyler Thorn grounded the Cardinals early, retiring 14 consecutive hitters while the Cranbrook offense went to work securing a five-run advantage through four innings of play. The top of the fifth inning rolled around and with two outs on the board, the Cardinals went to work, rattling off four runs to pull within one. “They finally got a hit, next thing you know there’s walks and [Thorn] had to settle down,” Mrazek said. “We had a 5-0 lead, scored early, built up a lead and [Thorn] was cruising along. They

got a base hit, some errors and some walks… It ended up being a tight game.” Thorn was pulled from the game after 4.2 innings in which he struck out seven batters, allowing only two hits and one earned run. From there, Carson Meggison came on in relief, going 2.1 innings strong, allowing one hit and no earned runs to claim the save, preserving the 5-4 victory for his starter.

Taylor Jones went the distance for the Cardinals, striking out six batters and walking three, while scattering eight hits en route to allowing five runs (three allowed). From there, a lack of teeth in quality scoring opportunities did the Bandits in over a pair of onerun defeats. “There were a few scoring opportunities where we left guys stranded,” Mrazek said. “We’ve talked about that as a team. We’ve got to take that opportunity. When you’ve got zero or one out and we’ve got that guy on third [base], we’ve got to cash him in. “We had some bunt situations and guys trying to do too much. We’ve talked about it and I’ve tried to make sure they’re clear on what their job is in different situations.” In an 11-10 loss at the hands of the Kalispell Lakers, the Bandits

had the tying run in scoring position on third base with only one out on the board, but were unable to bring Robert Nickell home to knot the affair as Thorn and Noah Rennette grounded out to end the contest. Despite allowing seven runs (five earned) over only two innings of play, Drew Fink claimed the win for the Lakers, while Eric Seaman came on for the remaining four innings to register the save. A total of four Bandits pitchers took to the mound over the course of a rainy shootout. Brandon Thorn started the game and was saddle with the loss, allowing six runs (five earned) through 0.1 innings. From there, Hayden Mastel (one inning), Nickell (one inning) and Greg Rebagliati (2.2) all saw time on the bump. In yet another one-run loss, this time to Vauxhall on Sunday, the Bandits pushed the tying run to third base with only one out on the board, but again were unable to bring it home to force extra innings. A 6-3 loss to the Bruins was tightly contested from start to finish, with one poor inning costing the Bandits. With a 2-1 lead heading into the top of the seventh inning, the Bruins knocked in four runs to take a commanding 6-1 advantage into the bottom of the inning. Try as they might, the Bandits managed to get a pair of runs on the board to make it a 6-3 game, before Linden Meggison flew out to bring the comeback bid to an end.

Cranbrook wakeboarder making waves again Colden Thompson soars to success at international pro wakeboarding event in Las Vegas

TOWNSMAN STAFF

Colden Thompson continues to soar in the world of wake boarding, making his international professional debut in Las Vegas back in May. Competing at the World Wakeboard Association (WWA) Malibu Rider Experience in Las Vegas, the Cranbrook native advanced to the finals in the Junior Pro Division, finishing fifth following a strong run in windy conditions. “Going down there, I didn’t know what to expect,” Thompson said in a news release. “I knew it would be tough competition and given that it was my first event in the Junior Pro Division, I just focused on riding my best. “To be able to ride with some of the best young riders in the world and to know I was competitive against them in my first international pro event was amazing.”

The international event, which featured participants from Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Japan and the United States, amongst other nations, ran from May 13 to 14 on Lake Las Vegas. With international experience now under his belt, the East Kootenay product — who trains at Tie Lake near Jaffray — has his sights set even higher as he pursues more hardware at the 2016 Canadian Wakeboard Championships, scheduled for Aug. 4 to 7 in Abbotsford. In 2015, Thompson scored a second-place finish in the Junior Men Division at the national event, before adding a sixth-place notch in Open/Pro competition. He added another runner-up finish at the 2015 Water Ski & Wakeboard Alberta (WSWA) Provincials.

Canadian women head to France for final pre-Olympic soccer tests NEIL DAVIDSON Canadian Press

TORONTO - John Herdman and his Canadian women’s soccer team head to France on Wednesday for their final two warmup games in advance of the Rio Games. The goal is to recreate Olympic tournament conditions - specifically to face tough competition in No. 3 France on a short turnaround. Canada, currently ranked 10th in the world, plays No. 12 China in a closed-door friendly on July 20 before facing the French on July 23 in Auxerre. Herdman notes the French are also playing China but are giving themselves a week to recover and prepare for Canada. “Our players will have a 48-hour recovery window,” Herdman said. “Our goal was to try and replicate the experience that you have when you move from a semifinal to a final or from the (final)

group game to a quarter-final, when you’ve really had to grind a result out and then you’re playing against a worldclass opponent. “So the French are going into that game fresh, ready to go and our players are going to really have to grit it out, which is really the test that we’re looking for. It’s going to be good for the players.” Canada also played France in its final buildup to the 2015 Women’s World Cup, losing 1-0 in Bondoufle. The teams have played each other 11 times with four wins for Canada, four for France and three ties. The Canadians have only won one of the last seven meetings, however. The one win came in the 2012 Olympic bronze medal match with Diana Matheson scor-

ing the lone goal in stoppage time. The Canadian women have wrapped up a two-week camp in Vancouver that featured the 18-woman Olympic roster plus alternates Gabrielle Carle and Kailen Sheridan. Marie-Eve Nault, another alternate, remained with her Swedish club side but will join the national team in Europe. Kaylyn Kyle, the fourth alternate, has been allowed to remain with her club side in Orlando but has been in contact regularly with Herdman. Carle has been hampered with a high ankle sprain but is just days away from a return to full training. Goalkeeper Sabrina D’Angelo, returning from wrist surgery, is also recovering well and has been training with outfield players

“Tracking along nicely. There’s been no hiccups,” said Herdman, who hopes the young ‘keeper back in full training July 22 or 23. Herdman says his players are looking forward to playing someone else than themselves. “They played against each other (in a scrimmage Sunday) and kicked the hell out of each other,” he said happily. The team leaves for Rio from France on July 24 and will get to spend a few days in the Olympic Village before heading to Sao Paulo to play Australia on Aug. 3. “This is my third Olympics,” said Herdman, who coached New Zealand at the 2008 Games in Beijing before leading Canada to bronze in London. “The one thing I always feel is important is the players do spend that time with Team Canada, connecting in with Team Canada.”

Coyotes sign captain Doan to one-year deal JOHN MARSHALL Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. The Arizona Coyotes signed captain Shane Doan to a one-year contract with a base salary of $2.5 million on Tuesday. The total deal will be around $5 million with a deferred signing bonus and deferred incentives for the NHL’s longest-tenured captain. “We are thrilled to have Shane back for another year,” Coyotes general manager John Chayka said in a statement. “No one has done more for this franchise than Shane. He’s one of the best captains in the NHL and we are lucky to have him.” The 39-year-old Doan is coming off one

of his best seasons, leading Arizona with 28 goals and finishing with 19 assists in 72 games. He has spent his entire 20-year career with the fran-

chise, starting when it was in Winnipeg in 1995, and is its all-time leader in goals (296), points (945) and games (1,466). Doan had previously signed a four-year, $21.2 million contract that expired at the start of free agency this month and

had been debating whether to continue playing. The Coyotes had a disappointing 2015-16 season and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year, but have a strong core of young players, led by Max Domi and Anthony Duclair, who are entering their second NHL seasons. “I’m happy to sign for another year,” Doan said. “I’m very excited about the players we added this summer and all of the talent we have on our roster. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming season.” Doan was drafted by the Coyotes with the seventh overall pick of the 1995 draft and was named captain in 2003.

Bandits prepare for Lewistown CONTINUED from page 10 “We had one bad inning and they’re a good team,” Mrazek said. “They’re a solid team and we played very well against them. It was a good outing, so I’m happy about how we performed.

Dan Mercandelli took the loss on the mound, but not before going 6.2 innings and striking out three. Sitting one game below .500, the Bandits will travel to Lewistown, Mont., for the Lew-

istown Invitational for a handful of games beginning Thursday, intent on getting back to an even plateau. The team will close out its summer schedule in Calgary, with a trio of games slated for July 22 to 24.

Family of slain Calgary woman tearfully pleads for safe return of her daughter L AUREN KRUGEL Canadian Press

CALGARY - Distraught family members are pleading for the safe return of a five-year-old Calgary girl whose mother was found dead in the basement suite where the two lived. Scott Hamilton, uncle of the slain woman, is asking whomever has Taliyah Leigh Marsman to drop her off at a police station, a grocery story, a gas station - or anywhere else. He says the family will pick her up and no questions will be asked. Police issued an Amber Alert overnight for the girl. Hamilton says the child’s mother, Sara Baillie, was pretty much single-handedly raising Taliyah, who he described as much more mature than her five years. He also said a deep bond existed between mother and child. “Inseparable,” he said of the two. “Taliyah referred to Sara as Mama and it wasn’t necessarily like a mother-daughter relationship. It was almost like watching two sisters at times get along. “Sara worshiped Taliyah. The times that we saw them interact was marvellous. It was a very awesome relationship to see between a mother and daughter.” Hamilton described Taliyah as “a vivacious, wonderful child, curious.” She liked playing on her iPad and Hamilton’s wife, Marilynne, had recently taught Taliyah to ride a bicycle. “The bicycle sits in our garage waiting for her to come back,” he said, his voice breaking. Police say they aren’t ruling anything out in their search for the little girl. “We have all the faith in the world that Taliyah will be found safe. Somebody who knows where she is, is going to step up and do the right thing,” Insp. Don Coleman said following the family’s news conference Tuesday. He said police have been flooded with tips, as well as with offers of help from other agencies.

OWNER/REALTOR®

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Close relating marks your interactions. You know how to get others to open up and reach a new level of understanding. Whether discussions surround business or personal matters, your impact remains the same. Your creativity emerges and cannot be denied. Tonight: Be a duo. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Defer to others if you want a clearer picture of what is going on with them. A friend could be unusually vague, but know that he or she means well. Be caring as you seek out more information. You don’t want to make others feel challenged. Tonight: Go along with an offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself and accomplish as much as possible. You might note that you have a tendency to let your mind drift if you lose your focus. Maintain a sense of direction. Communication could be full of information and quite enlightening. Tonight: Take a

midweek break. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll see life through different eyes after you have a discussion with someone who is somewhat passive and not actively involved in your life. This person has a unique perspective, and probably has known you for a long time. Tonight: Be nice. Make it your treat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Stay close to home, especially if you are concerned about a particular relationship. How you state your worries could define the response you receive. Don’t put the other party on the defensive. Laughter will surround a conversation and lighten the mood. Tonight: Order in. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might need to rethink a personal matter more carefully. You could misinterpret someone else’s comments and/or be afraid of saying something and having it be misread. You know what to do; just be diplomatic. Tonight: Hang out with a friend or loved one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your possessiveness might

Baby Blues

cause a problem at the last minute. Be more in touch with your insecurities, and work on eliminating them. You will find that relating to others will become much easier as a result. Listen to what someone has to share. Tonight: Where the crowds are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Take a stand, if need be, but be ready for some flak. Others want to understand you better and get to the bottom of a problem. You might project a very self-assured front, which could intimidate those around you. Are you sure you want to do this? Tonight: Paint the town red. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might need to pull back and take some time off. Get some extra R and R. Make it OK to schedule a day just for you. A long-distance call or news from a distance will help you relax and could encourage you to take off even more time. Tonight: Kick back and relax. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Focus on what you want, and don’t be distracted. Try to convince others that what you want is a good idea, and perhaps you

will gain their support. One-onone relating is highlighted. A friendship might play into your love life. Tonight: Be with the people you enjoy most. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. You might wonder whether you are being too open and forthright. Others seem to gravitate toward you. Maintain some distance right now, before you say something you might regret. Tonight: Say “yes” to an older friend. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Reach out to someone you care about who is evasive or who does not reveal as much as you might like. Your desire to pull this person out of his or her shell is likely to work. Keep in mind that he or she has a quiet facet to his or her personality. Tonight: Be open to a new pastime.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have a wonderful daughter-in-law who is the stepmother to my two granddaughters, ages 8 and 9. My son has had custody of his little girls since they were toddlers, and “Jeanette” has been a real mother to them. She has done a good job teaching them responsibility and how to behave like young ladies. However, I am concerned that she expects too much. The girls wash dishes, clean rooms in the house and do their own laundry -- including their bed linens. I know things have changed since I raised my son back in the ‘80s, but do you think it is right to make kids this age responsible for their own laundry? Jeanette does not work outside the home and has time to do this. Am I just old-fashioned? Should I say something or keep my mouth shut? -- Concerned Gram Dear Gram: Although most children probably don’t wash their own linens at the age of 8 or 9, there is no reason they cannot be taught to do so. If done properly, operating a washing machine and dryer is neither difficult nor dangerous, and the ability to handle their own laundry will give those girls a sense of accomplishment and independence. Say nothing, Gram. Dear Annie: I want to respond to “Lady Lake in Florida,” the wife whose hard-of-hearing husband plays the TV so loud it drives her crazy. My father gets vertigo easily and does not like to wear hearing aids or headphones. In his case, a wonderful solution is a speaker box that brings the sound directly to where he is seated without disturbing others in the room. More information (and occasionally free products and services) can be found through her state’s Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Current technology is amazing. Why not take advantage of all the possibilities? -- Loretta Dear Loretta: Thank you for the suggestions. Our readers had a lot to offer on this subject: From the Midwest: My hearing aid works for everything except the TV. I have a sound transmitter and wireless earphones, but you have to cut off the normal sound to use them. Our solution is two TVs in different rooms. Nova Scotia: Not all brands of wireless TV headphones work equally well. The ones I now use came from my hearing aid dispenser and are far superior to the ones from a national electronics store. They are twice the price, but the performance is twice as good. Albuquerque, N.M.: There is a support group for people with hearing loss. It is Self Help for Hard of Hearing People, 7910 Woodmont Ave., Suite 1200, Bethesda, MD 20814 (hearingloss. org). Las Vegas: Wireless headphones are not as good as closed-captioning. The captioning has the added benefit of making my grandkids better and faster readers. Alta Loma, Calif.: Using hearing aids can be a lot like trying to tune in a station on a radio by simply turning up the volume -- it doesn’t make things clearer, it only makes the white noise louder. Crestline, Calif.: I am 21 years old and profoundly deaf in one ear. I wear a hearing aid, and it works quite well. He should schedule an appointment with an audiologist who will tune the hearing aids so they are less tinny. Massachusetts: Captioned Media Program (cfv.org) provides a free-loan media program of over 4,000 open-captioned titles (videos, CD-ROMs and DVDs). InSight Cinema (www. insightcinema.org) is a non-profit organization that brings captioned movies to theaters in over 500 cities. Michigan: I, too, parked two expensive new hearing aids in a drawer. Wearing them made me dizzy and sick to my stomach. Some people cannot tolerate both ears being suddenly plugged up with artificial sound. Besides, if we had six ears instead of two, guess how many aids would be prescribed.

Are you an employer interested in parƟcipaƟng in a wage support program?

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our Mom, Alma on Thursday, July 7th, 2016 at the F. W. Green Memorial Home in Cranbrook Mom was born to Mary and Joseph Laughlin on September 7, 1926 on a farm east of Vanscoy, Saskatchewan, she was the third of six children. After all the children were born Mary fell ill and the family moved to Saskatoon. Times were hard with the drought and depression of the 30’s and when the Second World War broke out, jobs were to be had in munitions factories, so the family relocated to Windsor, Ontario without Mary who had passed away. After the War, the family moved west to Cranbrook. Mom was about 19 years of age and the first job she had in town was at the Trading Company. A year or so later Mom started working at Colleen’s Dress Shop. Saturday night dances were held at the Bluebird Inn and that’s where Dad met Mom. They were married in the summer of 1949 and set down permanent roots to raise their family. They had four children, Stuart, Roy, Lorne and Janet. After the last child was grown, Mom returned to the outside workforce and was employed by the East Kootenay Regional Hospital until her retirement. Mom was a past president and member of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles for over 55 years. She was also a breast cancer survivor. Mom was a great baker, excellent seamstress and gardener. As a Mother she was simply the best. She enjoyed travelling, reading and keeping up with current events by listening to the radio. Mom was predeceased by her parents Mary and Joseph, her sisters Blanche and Marie, brothers Floyd, Hartford and Joseph, her true love and husband of 51 years Ed, her sons Stuart and Lorne, daughter-in-law Diane and grandson Greg. Mom is survived by her son Roy, daughter Janet (Dave), daughters-in-law Christine and Myrna, 7 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm on Thursday, July 14, 2016 at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, Canadian Diabetes Association, Parkinson Society of Canada or the Alzheimer Society of BC. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com
