300 runners for Black Spur Ultra C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Last year about 200 ultra-marathon runners came to Kimberley for the inaugural Black Spur Ultra race. This year, on August 19 through 21, over 300 have signed up to run the 54 and 108 K course which runs through the Kimberley Nature Park, out to Horse Barn Valley and around North Star

PRIZES INCLUDED

Mountain. Organizer Brian Gallant is pleased with the growth of the Black Spur Ultra, with the ultimate goal being 500 racers. He hopes to get to that number in a few years as word gets out about the Kimberley race. “Runners like to talk, and word of mouth about a race attracts more runners,” Gallant said. “Elite runners don’t want to waste a

weekend doing a race that’s not good. But the feedback from last year in Kimberley was great. In 2015, the inaugural year, Black Spur gained a reputation as an “instant classic” and a “bucket list” event. The course is unlike any other. A world-class venue, the natural beauty, and the rugged terrain are a perfect combination for an epic mountain ultra”. See BLACK SPUR, page 5

Fire north of Kimberley in mop up stage C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Southeast Fire Centre has contained a fire 12 kilometres north of Kimberley (in the Wood’s Corner area) and it is now in the mop up stage, says Carlee Kashman from the Fire Centre. “It is believed it was lighting caused,” Kashman said. “It was discov-

ered on Sunday and 20 personnel and two water tenders actioned it. It grew to 6.5 hectares and is now 100 per cent contained.” Fire hazard is rated moderate this week, although any lightning has the potential to start a fire that may not pop up immediately. To report a wildfire, call *5555 on your cell or 1-800663-5555.

This year’s climbing team included Matthew Sappach, Oliver Orchiston, Thibaud Bonniard, Emerson Ferrier, Katrina Romanowicz, Jack Bolger, Megan Strachan, Janine Harach, Emma Thompson, and Eric Engler.

Centennial of 15 pioneering ascents by Conrad Kain BY BRIAN PAT TON

he year was 1916. Thirty-three year old Conrad Kain was at the peak of his climbing career as he set out on a summer-long climbing spree. When the season ended, he had led ascents of 15 virgin peaks, including some of the most difficult ever attempted in Canada, and established himself as the country’s premiere mountain guide. Conrad’s remarkable season began on July 19, when he and his partner Albert MacCarthy worked out the complex route finding up the near vertical limestone ramparts of 2682 m Mount Louis near Banff, not only ticking off a first ascent on this demanding peak but completing it unroped. Later that month, Albert and his wife Bess would accompany Conrad on 14 remote and difficult ascents in the Purcells from their Karmax Ranch in Wilmer. Smitten by the natural beauty of the Upper Columbia Valley, both the MacCarthys and Kain had recently settled in Wilmer. Riding on mining and Indian trails up Toby

Creek with Dr. and Mrs. Winthrop Stone, they explored and mapped out the territory between Toby, Glacier and Jumbo Creeks, building trademark summit cairns on 12 peaks. On August 25, the MacCarthy/Kain trio, joined by a hitherto unknown climber named John Vincent, reached the summit of the highest peak in the Bugaboo Group, 3412 m Howser Spire. Two days later they completed a 15 hour long traverse of Sextet Ridge to Howser Peak (at the top end of today’s popular Silver Basin hike) and the very next day climbed the technically difficult peak known in 1916 simply as “Nunatak #3”, again in a 15-hour push from the valley floor. The team gave 3204 m Bugaboo Spire its name after Conrad spent two hours rehearsing the intimidating gendarme crux pitch moves near the summit, “…nonplussed at the sight of a veritable bugaboo, which immediately suggested to our minds the appropriateness of the name ‘Bugaboo’ for this spire.” See page 5

LOCAL NEWS Black Spur Ultra coming Aug. 19-21

From Page 1 “Runners appreciate a personal endorsement. A lot said it was one of the more technical races they’ve run. And especially for elite runners, they like to walk out of the hotel and be at the start line.” As further attraction for runners, the Black Spur Ultra is an opportunity to collect points and qualify for other ultra-marathons. The 54K event for men and women is this year’s Canadian National Championship as well as a qualifier for a huge ultra-marathon in France later in the year. The race is not for the

faint of heart, Gallant says. Many competitors will find the distance, combined with the rough course, fatigue, and weather, too much to handle. But he says it is the kind of racing he likes to do, especially the rougher parts. “We veer off the Round the Mountain track and take the cutline to a goat rail to a rocky gully. We tell runners to bring your ‘goatitude’ because you’ll have to be a mountain goat. It’s a wonderful part of the course. The terrain is just fantastic, great views. Everyone really enjoyed it last year.”

In the footsteps of Conrad Kain From Page 3 Bugaboo Spire remained one of the most daunting alpine climbs in Canada until neighbouring Snowpatch Spire was finally climbed in 1940. Little did Kain and the MacCarthys know that their bold explorations would open up a world-class climbing mecca to future generations. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Kain’s most successful and ambitious season, 10 students from Invermere, Cranbrook and Kimberley travelled to Bugaboo Provincial Park on July 22 to participate in the annual Conrad Kain Bugaboos Teens Climbing Camp. The three-day camp, which took them in fog and rain across Bugaboo glacier to the summit of Hounds Tooth Spire and a brilliant day atop East Post Spire, is a legacy project sponsored by the Conrad Kain Centennial Society and generously supported by many individual and corporate sponsors. It has introduced students from the Columbia and East Kootenay valleys to Bugaboo granite for the past eight years. This year’s climbing team included Matthew Sappach, Oliver Orchiston, Thibaud Bonniard, Emerson Ferrier, Katrina Romanowicz, Jack Bolger, Megan Strachan, Janine Harach, Emma Thompson, and Eric Engler. The students were

accompanied by BC Parks climbing ranger Craig Browne and perennial ACMG guides Kirk Mauthner, Jen Olson and Tim McAllister. As usual, photographer Pat Morrow tagged along to capture the highlights. Megan Strachan was inspired to write: “This weekend challenged me, made me learn more about myself and allowed me to grow as a person. I am so thankful for all the work you put in to make these trips a reality. I would love to help out with any future trips or projects in any way I can.” Parents provided long-distance shuttle service for the event, and Brisco’s master raconteur Leo Grillmair sent the climbers off on their adventure with a gripping Snowpatch Spire climbing tale. In addition to the guides who led the climbs, the Conrad Kain Centennial Society thanks the Alpine Club of Canada, Columbia Valley Community Foundation, the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, and Canadian Mountain Holidays for helping to facilitate this year’s camp. “All the students were great team players, and developed a keen appreciation for nature on this brief but intense outing, very much in the spirit of Conrad Kain,” said event organizer Pat Morrow.

While runners start in a pack, they will quickly spread out and will run alone for most of the race. During the race, the runners will be largely self-sufficient, despite the aid stations located at approximately 15km intervals. These aid stations are vital not only as feeding stations but also as an opportunity to keep track of runners and have an idea where everyone is on the course. “We record every runner going through every station,” Gallant said. “So if someone fails to arrive at a station, we know roughly where to start looking.” The Black Spur Ultra is committed to a “leave no trace” policy during the event and work with local stakeholders and the province to ensure it is sustainable and well run. A monetary donation will be made to the Kimberley Nature Park Society, Kimberley Trails Society, and Kootenay Freewheelers for the purposes of trail development and maintenance. FILE PHOTO “Maintaining the natural beauty Not a race for the faint-hearted. that attracts our racers to these venues is one of our highest priorities, and we do this by supporting groups whenever the event. “It’s important to us that the volunwe can.” says Gallant. For people who would like to see teers enjoy themselves and the runners what is happening, the race is hosted at really appreciate the volunteers.” More information about the race Kimberley Alpine resort, and spectators are welcome. For those who would and course can be found at www. like to get more involved, there are blackspurultra.com many volunteer opportunities,and the organizers provide a fun atmosphere at

Over and over again, ad nauseam “I have always believed that writing advertisements is the second most profitable form of writing. The first, of course, is ransom notes.” Philip Dusenberry

ach morning I switch on the TV and go to the CBC news. I don’t know why I bother. It’s all going to be commercials, the same ones, over and over again, ad nauseam. Oh! They might sneak in a snippet of actual news, especially if it’s a new world war or a couple of lads climbing a monstrous transmission tower but, by and large it’s the same old same old and I am sick and tired of it all. I mean, it’s not as if the commercials are interesting or funny like those ones where the little old lady is demanding “Where’s the beef?” or that silly one of a guy opening a big set of doors and being avalanched on by a million soccer balls, or the housewife trotting towards the family car outside Ikea and yelling to her husband to “Start the car!” as if she’s robbed the place. They were fun, even if the very thought of visiting stores like Ikea again turns my stomach. Come to think of it, I am convinced that TV commercials have never persuaded me to buy any of the advertised products. Prob-

ably they have turned me against such things. It is quite likely that I refuse to watch any program that includes commercials because I do not want to be put off all those marvellous products. I mean, if I were to become entranced by the idea of a new Ford, or life insurance, or a reverse mortgage on my house, or visiting a water park in Toronto, or even trying out one of those new much cheaper flights that turn out not to be so cheap, I know from experience, I am going to be disappointed. So why suffer the indignities of those commercials? I ask myself. Either stay with PBS or Knowledge Peter Network if I don’t mind Warland staying up late or if I am willing to record some shows and watch them later. Some of my more stoic friends watch commercial TV and explain that, when commercials come on, they make a cup of tea, and so I wonder how much tea they can drink. The other morning I switched on CBC news, watched one news item then, when the same old, same old commercials butted in, I went downstairs to my commuter, checked the e-mails, answered a couple, used the bathroom, watered my tomatoes and was back upstairs in time to see someone trying to sell me life insurance. I don’t think I missed one crucial

news item. Some channels like CBC advertise the exciting programs that they are soon going to show but, no matter how intriguing they might sound, there is still the niggling thought that no matter how interesting shows might turn out to be, they will be bloated with commercials, the same familiar ones, over and over again. I tried CBC News again this morning; I am after all, a glutton for punishment and now I shall have to save money on a No Medical Life Insurance although I am probably too old, but you never know, do you? I must get on the phone and have Alarm Force installed immediately, go downtown and make a deal on a Jeep because only that vehicle will dominate the landscape, stop by A and W for a burger lunch then trot off and purchase either Liv Relief or a Revitive Circulation Booster for my aching joints and then, once home, make a decision about cleaning my windows with Windex or leaving them dirty so the crows can see them. However, I’m not sure whether I should bother the kids with my decision this morning to go for a Chip Reverse Mortgage so that I’ll have the ready cash for all these purchases. Maybe I shouldn’t worry them as I intend to cut my lawns today and I note that this very morning an enthusiast was struck by lightning whilst enduring that chore.

ter), and that they are quiet and behaved, then why can’t they accept this? Maybe something can be done to stop this cruelty to pets and start allowing that family member to continue to live with its family. There could also be an agreement between the landlord and tenant (in black and white), that if the pet damage deposit does not cover the total damage, then the tenant agrees to pay in full whatever needs to be done. And the tenant will have the inspection document that was signed at the beginning of the rental agreement, so they know if it actually needs to be done. In this way, the landlord and tenant are covered. Also, people renting houses feel safer having a pet. So this current situation is also making renters’ life less safe in a house, especially if it is more isolated.

Pets, renters and landlords

There is a problem in Cranbrook lately. Approximately 95 per cent of rental units (apartments and houses) are “no pets”. This is a serious problem. We need to do something about the situation in Cranbrook. The [Landlord and Tenant Act of BC] needs to know of this difficulty imposed on renters. We cannot leave our pets because they are part of our families. Do the landlords want to see sad, desperate, depressed pets accumulate in the BCSPCA? This is cruel. If we pay a pet deposit, and go through screening for pets, make sure they are neutered/spayed (and confirmed by vet let-

If polygamy is illegal in Canada, why is the B.C. government giving polygamists $400 a month per child? Three or four wives, with three or four kids — do the math, people. What a scam. Ridiculous! P.S. Have you watched Escaping Polygamy lately?

AV systems allow people to indicate their first, second, and third choices: if their first choice doesn’t win, their vote moves to the second, and so on. It is worrying that the Prime Minister is understood to favour an AV system. But then: the Liberals stand to benefit from AV, as they are the second choice of many Conservatives, Greens and NDP voters. An AV system would keep the Liberals in power a very long time without having a majority of Canadians choose them as their first choice. It would consign other parties to the political wilderness. That is not good for democracy. Only a proportional representation system allows people to vote for, and get, what they want. Votes for parties are aggregated and seats awarded on the basis of the percentage of the total vote. Thus, 20 per cent of the popular vote translates into 20 per cent of the seats in Parliament — no more and no less. The Conservatives in particular want a referendum on changing the electoral system. I disagree with this. Referenda are inherently divisive and are unlikely to produce positive change. Canadians have shown that when faced with voting on matters which they don’t feel well informed about, they vote for the status quo. The Charlottetown Accord was a good example of this, but the provincial referenda on electoral change have also demonstrated this. Most Canadians are not well educated about our electoral (and other) institutions: the media don’t provide great political education, and the educational system largely neglects citizenship education. Further, the provincial governments holding referenda on electoral change have not provided robust public education in advance of the vote. Opponents have spent heavily to advertize in favour of the status quo. No referendum should ever be presented without a strong public education program accompanying it.

On the road to electoral reform he Special Committee on Electoral Reform (ECCE) is deliberating on changes to Canada’s electoral system. The Committee was created on June 7, 2016, and mandated to identify and conduct a study of viable alternate voting systems to replace the first-past-the-post system, as well as to examine mandatory voting and online voting. Special Committees are created by Parliament for specific purposes, and report to Parliament. I’m hoping it moves quickly on the matter of electoral reform. This is not constitutional change: it is a matter of simple legislation and regulation. It is long overdue. Our democratic health requires electoral change. Our plurality (or first-past-the-post) electoral system does not produce a sufficient measure of democratic representation. MPs routinely win elections with a minority of the popular vote, while the votes for other parties are effectively lost. The resulting Parliament does not reflect the political diversity among Canadians. The debate in and legislation from Parliament is similarly unrepresentative of Canadians’ political opinions. Our unrepresentative electoral process leads to a reduced degree of electoral democracy and political legitimacy. It leads to citizen apathy and cynicism about politics. That erodes democracy. The Prime Minister has assured Canadians that the last federal election will be the last fought under the plurality system. The scholarly evidence is, hands down, in favour of proportional representation (PR) as the best mechanism to secure the best measure of electoral democracy, of representation of diverse populations, and of citizen confidence in electoral outcomes. The alternative vote (AV) systems have been shown to produce no better democratic outcomes than the plurality system.

If readers would like to delve into the data, I recommend consulting Dr. Pippa Norris’s important Electoral Integrity Project. The research covers 139 countries on a multi-year basis. Dr. Norris (Harvard University) presented her work at the Canadian Political Science Association conference in June. It demonstrates convincingly that proportional representation (PR) produces the best measures of representation of diversity of opinion and population; and the best measures of democracy. In her presentation she noted that PR constrains power of ‘single party executives’ [like our government] and limits rule manipulation; it maximizes the potential numbers of winners, which builds citizen trust in the electoral process; and it attracts more citizens into the political process. See https://sites.google.com/ site/electoralintegrityproject4/publications-1/links-to-other-publications and related sites covering Dr. Norris’s work. Those interested can express their views to the ERRE at ERRE@parl.gc.ca. It would be useful as well to send a copy of these views to our MP at wayne.stetski@ parl.gc.ca. Dr. Green is a political scientist on faculty at the University of Regina; she lives in Cranbrook.

Week of July 31 – August 6

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1905 Ouch … “Tug” Wilson, a lumberman, cut a big slice off his foot with a broad axe last Thursday as clean as a butcher could cut a nice steak. Dr. Elliott dressed the foot and he is doing well. Cranbrook’s post office …. Very few people have a proper conception of the vast amount of business transacted in the Cranbrook post office. The growth of Cranbrook and the district tributary to this town has been so rapid that the business of the post office has gone ahead by leaps and bounds. Sometimes the people of Cranbrook are inclined to find fault with some delay in the office, but if they would stop to consider the volume of business transacted, they would be inclined to be more charitable. And as a rule it is the west that has to suffer from inadequate

postal facilities as the staid department at Ottawa are loath to move too fast in rapidly growing towns, as they have had some experience with mushroom places. But R. E. Beattie, the postmaster, has never let up in his efforts to secure every facility for expediting the business in the office, and has invested much of his own money to improve the conditions. He has probably as efficient a staff as can be found in any post office in the west. Miss E. McKay, a lady of several years’ experience in post office work, has charge of the money order department, and Miss Tanhauser has charge of the general delivery. Take June as a basis upon which to estimate the business of the office and one finds figures of a startling nature. There were 107,000 letters handled during that month, and an average of four sacks of papers a day. There were 1,200 registered letters, and 450 money orders made out. The office also redistributes mail for Bayard, Marysville, North Star, Kimberley, the Mission and seven offices on the Windermere stage line. Cranbrook’s post office is doing more business than the office at Fernie, Rossland, Revelstoke and other towns of that size, and there is only one in the interior that exceeds it in the volume of business transacted. Visiting the hospital ... Mother Antoinette, of Montreal, Mother General of Catholic hospitals and schools, is in town to-day inspecting the St. Eugene and the Mission school. Mother Antoinette is a great traveller, and is now on her return to Montreal after visiting the different institutions in Alaska, British Columbia and the Peace River country. During the trip she rode over 900 miles by stage on one part of her journey. She was surprised to see the growth of

Cranbrook since she was here six years ago, when she visited Cranbrook to authorize the building of the St. Eugene hospital. The various schools and hospitals under her jurisdiction have cared for thousands of unfortunates since she has had charge and during all that time, in the wilderness and in civilization, the doors of these places have always been open, and no questions asked of any applicant as to whether the sufferer had money or not. The Sherman and Platt company ... Last night the Sherman and Platt company presented “Moths” at Wentworth hall to a fair sized audience. The plot of the play is interesting and the cast of characters displayed good discrimination. Hayden Stevenson, the lover of the unhappy princess, did not have a part as prominent as his many friends in Cranbrook would like to have seen him assume, but he made a most pleasing impression, nevertheless. Miss Warde was as charming as ever in a role that possessed some very difficult characterizations. J. J. Kennedy was despicable as the smooth, crafty prince, and Miss Cornyn maintained her position as a favorite. The others had little chance in last night’s play, but all made the best of the parts taken. The company will appear again to-night, and are worth the liberal patronage of the people of Cranbrook. Owie … W.R. Beatty was badly jarred last Saturday while working on the addition to the Royal Hotel. He was on a scaffold and started to move the planking over. He moved one over and one of his men moved the one behind Mr. Beatty without the latter’s knowledge, and when Mr. Beatty stepped back be found nothing but July air to hold the weight of his body. As a result he

went down about eight feet and landed headfirst in a nail keg. He got several scratches and a kink in his neck that is not out yet. Almost a fire ... Cranbrook had a narrow escape from fire last Monday evening about six o’clock. J. Manning was returning to the store after dinner and happened to notice smoke coming from the second story of George Kennedy’s Blacksmith shop. He sounded the alarm and although there were only a few people on the street at that hour the hose reel under the direction of Vic Hollins and pulled by willing hands was at the place within three minutes after the alarm sounded with a good stream of water ready for business, The fire was confined to a box of excelsior that had become ignited and was soon extinguished. Situated as the building is in the middle of a block crowded with buildings, if the fire had gotten a good start, it might have swept the town, Messrs. Fink and Bradley, who hurried from their homes when the alarm sounded, with all the fire boys who could get there, worked like Trojans, spoiled their clothes, got wet and received for all of that some blame and little praise. Cranbrook has the best bunch of volunteer fire fighters in western Canada and the people should appreciate them and their efforts. Company is generous … The Electric Light company played its generosity and gave material evidence of its appreciation of the efforts put forth by the fire company and some of its employees in saving its property. It made a present of $200 to the fire company, $25 to Maurice Quain, $25 to J.McKenzie, $25 to Bob Aikens and $10 to W. Cline, the latter having ruined some of his clothes.

Dustin Donaghy

Local product steps into BCHL coaching gig For the Townsman

Don’t blame athletes for dropping out of Olympics Eric Elliot t Invermere Valley Echo

ilos Roanic joined a large contingent recently that has been making headlines throughout the last few months. After finishing second in the fabled Wimbeldon tournament across the pond, Roanic has decided not to attend the Olympic Games in Rio this year, blaming the imposing Zika virus for his decision. He’s not alone either. This rejection is merely part of the overwhelming tidal wave of athletes who have decided they are not participating in the five-ring circus for a

whole slew of reasons. In golf, all four of the top four ranked golfers in the world — Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Speith and Rory McIlroy — have declined the invite to go to Brazil to win a gold medal. In basketball, Lebron James and Steph Curry, two of the game’s biggest stars, along with Canadian Andrew Wiggins, have also decided to stay home in hopes of resting after a gruelingly long NBA season. And I don’t blame them. In fact, I don’t blame or shame any of the athletes who don’t want to attend this year’s Olympic Games and you shouldn’t either. For starters, there’s the

threat of the Zika virus among a host of other concerns such as human rights violations that could make this Games one of the biggest failures in Olympic history. Think about this hypothetical for a second. You’re a world-class athlete already making enough money to support you and your family and you receive the invite to the Olympic Games, a world-class competition that you stand to earn nothing more than a nostalgic moment to bank away for senior years. On the other side of the balance sheet, you risk the possibility of contracting a virus that could cause severe defects in any

children you may have in the future. Is that a risk you’re willing to take for a medal you may not win in the first place? Of course, the credit side of this equation is what seems to make more sense with each passing Olympic Games. For professional athletes such as golfers and basketball players, who make millions in their careers already, there is little more to be gained through attending the Olympics other than patriotic sentiment. Don’t get me wrong — that does sound like a selfish explanation for not participating in the Games; however, these athletes are trying to

forge a legacy established on the foundation of Majors and Championships, rather than Olympic medals, which will ultimately determine their payday. Of course, many of the people shaming these athletes for dropping out of the Games do so, arguing these athletes, “Owe it to their countries to compete for gold.” They don’t. At the very root of the beast, athletes are entertainers selling a product, plain and simple. As consumers of that product, we are paying for them to entertain us, not present some sort of national pride for their country. If they

want to do that on their dime, that’s their prerogative but it’s certainly not their duty or obligation to do so, unless that lack of participation at international events translates into a reduced bottom line on their average annual salary. To date, no such connection is even close to being tangibly made. The aggregate number of athletes who have dropped out of the Olympics will be just one of many conceivable failures for this year’s Rio Games. We shouldn’t shame athletes for not wanting to be a part of history that will more or less be a black eye for international competition.

On June 16, at the Cranbrook Public Produce Garden the Cranbrook Food Action Committee (CFAC) organized a project entitled “Gallon Gardens”. The Gallon Gardens project can be summarized as “growing food for the community by youth”. Youth from the community built easy to maintain gardens in five gallon buckets, the gardens were then delivered throughout

the community. 47 participants including a Mount Baker Outdoor Education class, the Youth Impact Youth Center, and the Cranbrook Royal Canadian Air Cadets partook in the building. “No matter how experienced or inexperienced one is in gardening, one can always grow wholesome food in a small space and make it work” was the idea behind the Gallon Gardens project.

The gardens contain a tomato plant with a tomato cage placed around the plant for support, care cards were also included with each garden. The gardens contain a water reservoir in the bottom of the bucket and a spout which drains out excess water thus reducing the possibility of drying out and overwatering. The project created 24 gardens and great dialogue around food security in Cranbrook. The project has

the potential to grow 200-400 lbs of local, healthy, free, food. All participants and recipients are also invited to attend a free salsa making workshop in the fall to complete the link between growing and preparing our own healthy food. Cranbrook Food Action Committee would like to thank Columbia Basin Trust for funding to make this project possible. We would also like to extend our thanks

to our many volunteers and local businesses who donated to this project including Home Depot, New Dawn Developments, and Top Crop. Cranbrook Food Action Committee was created by people in the community who identify food insecurity as an important health issue in Cranbrook. For the past decade CFAC has been supporting and starting food security initiatives. Please feel

welcomed to check out the open gate Cranbrook Public Produce Garden located in Eric McKinnon Park or join us for our Garden Work Bee, which is held every second Tuesday at 4pm-6pm. Also, every Thursday Senior Gardening Sessions are held from 9am-10:30am. Follow our projects on Facebook or check out www.cranbrookfoodaction.com. Thank you for your support!

B.C. foreign buyer tax

Tax won’t make big dent in housing affordability Linda Giv e tash Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Experts are expressing doubt a property transfer tax on foreign buyers that takes effect Tuesday will have a significant impact on housing affordability in Metro Vancouver. The next four to six months will be uncertain until the different players in the market decide how to react to the 15 per cent tax, said Anne McMullin, president of the non-profit industry association Urban Development Institute. What is more certain, McMullin said, is that the tax is unlikely to improve affordability for average Canadian buyers who are in bidding wars over the stagnant supply of homes in Vancouver.

“The demand isn’t changing,” she said. Removing foreign interests might bring down the price of $4 million homes to $3.5 million or $3 million in desirable neighbourhoods, McMullin said. “I don’t think that’s affordable. They’re not going to come down that much.” The tax legislated by B.C.’s Liberal government last week will apply to foreigners purchasing residential property in Metro Vancouver. Data released by the province shows that nearly 10 per cent of property transfers in Metro Vancouver during a five-week period starting June 10 involved foreign nationals. The province has also put forward changes that would

enable the City of Vancouver to implement its own vacancy tax. The changes are intended increase the existing housing supply that is available to British Columbians, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said moments after the tax became law last Thursday. The tax in Metro Vancouver may sway investors to buy in other Canadian cities but it will not detract from the many factors, including favourable mortgage rates and the low dollar, that draw foreign buyers, said Brad Henderson, president and chief executive of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. “It’s a political reaction to an urban economic problem,” said Henderson. He added that Sotheby’s has not seen any deals fall

apart as a result of the new tax, although said it is early to determine what the longterm implications will be. Vancouver agent Mark Wiens said at least one of his non-Canadian clients who didn’t close a deal last week is now choosing to hold off on purchasing. The client, he said, is going to wait for their permanent-residency documents to process over the next few months before they settle to purchase. If many foreigners arriving in Vancouver for jobs or education make the similar decision to hold off on buying homes, it could have unintended consequences on the region’s already overwhelmed rental market, Wiens said. “People are coming here

regardless,” Wiens said. “This isn’t about investment, it’s about living.” However, University of British Columbia professor of economics Thomas Davidoff said foreign interest is a major factor contributing to the high prices in region. “If you eliminate foreign demand from this market, it is very hard for me to see how prices wouldn’t fall 25 to 50 per cent,” he said. However, Davidoff added that he doesn’t anticipate the tax will completely drive out foreign buyers, preventing any major drop in prices. The degree to which foreigners are deterred and the financial impact that will have is what everyone will have to wait to see, he said. A “home run” for the province would see foreign

interest staying steady and as a result, generating around $1 billion annually through the tax, Davidoff said. The province has said revenue generated by the tax will fund government housing initiatives for renters, low income earners and first-time buyers. However, McMullin said an aggressive increase in development, not taxes, would be the most effective way to improve housing affordability long term. “There are still 40,000 people moving into this region per year,” she said. “If you don’t create that kind of supply that allows for competition in the marketplace for the consumer, you’re going to have high prices.”

Kimberley could soon begin brushing up on heraldry, the chivalric code and everything medieval as it mulls a knightly proposal. Two Alberta groups whose members take part in staged medieval battles want to know if Kimberley would be interested in hosting an event linked to the International Medieval Combat Federation. Members of Calgary-based Ironheart Vanguard and Blades of the Crimson Aurora from Edmonton travelled to Kimberley last month for a two-day medieval festival. They liked what they saw and the organizer of the Kimberley event says the Alberta groups inquired about the city’s interest in a larger medieval celebration. Michelle Forbes says it could be a good fit for Bavarian-themed Kimberley. She says the world championships of the International Medieval Combat Federation were held in Brazil this year and attracted competitors from around the world. “It’s relatively new in Canada, the biggest one of course is the Battle of Brooks at the Brooks Medieval Faire,” Forbes says of the Canadian event set for this weekend in Brooks, Alta., about 200 kilometres southeast of Calgary. The International Medieval Combat Federation has members from Europe to North America and Japan, and hosts historically accurate combat martial arts competitions in the chivalric tradition. The Brooks Medieval Faire has been running for 13 years, highlighting everything from a jousting tournament to swordfights and mythical creatures in costume.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 49-year-old father of twins, a boy and girl. They are 18 and will be headed for college soon, and I am starting to get pretty worried about the nest’s being empty once they depart. I love my wife. Our marriage has been rocky at times, but we’ve stayed together. There’s been no infidelity or anything major. We’ve just had normal couple issues about quality time spent together and household annoyances, such as not emptying the dishwasher and leaving stubble around the sink in the bathroom. For the past 18 years, the kids have been our focus. In a few months, that focus moves out. I am worried about myself. These days, when I come home from work, I check in with the kids. I help with homework. I go to their basketball games. After they leave, I will have nothing to do. I am worried about my wife, too. Her life is these kids. She cooks for them. She drives for them (which is shocking, considering they both have their driver’s licenses). They are her world, and that will be gone after they leave. Yes, I am looking forward to spending more time with my wife, but there are only so many episodes of “House of Cards” we can watch. Is there anything I can do to prepare for this departure? -- Deserted Dad Dear Deserted: Change can be a wonderful thing. It can also be terrifying, disorienting and sad. The key is to embrace it. Your kids will no longer depend on you the way they once did, but this means you can now have a relationship with them more akin to friendship. The more mature they become the more they’ll appreciate you and their mom. And they’ll still need plenty of help as they navigate the world of adulthood. You and your wife can use this stage to behave like newlyweds again. Go out on more dates. Relearn what it’s like to have free time. Most importantly, talk about the transition you’re both going through, as you are in a perfect position to understand and support each other. The nest isn’t totally empty as long as you’ve got each other. (Netflix doesn’t hurt.) Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old girl. I have known “Mia” since the third grade, when we instantly became the best of friends. Unfortunately, things have not been great with us lately because Mia spends so much time on social media. She has been constantly “chatting” with different people, who are complete strangers, over the internet. She has even met up with some of these people in person. I am worried that she may be putting herself in danger. What is so sad is that she has a messed-up family, and nobody is supervising her when it comes to social media. I am nervous that she will send naked pictures of herself or get lured into prostitution or something else terrible because she does not have good judgment and is not making smart choices. What should I do? Please help. -- Concerned Friend Dear Concerned: Your worries are 100 percent justified. It’s not just that Mia may put herself in further danger; she already (SET ITAL) is (END ITAL) putting herself in danger by talking to strangers online and even meeting up with them in person unsupervised. You need to enlist the help of your mom and dad. They can talk to Mia’s parents or other adults in her life who will look out for her best interests, such as a guidance counselor. Prepare yourself for the fact that Mia will be angry with you. But her safety is paramount, and she’s left you with no choice. You will look back on this and be glad you did the right thing. You are an amazing friend, and Mia is lucky to have you in her life. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.
