The Rocky Mountain Riders hosted their bi-weekly cattle penning event last Thursday evening at their Meadowbrook riding arena. Last week the cattle were in a feisty moooood. See more page 3.
Late Tuesday afternoon, the City of Kimberley put out a press release stating that a date had been set for voting on the final offer by the City of Kimberley. City CAO Scott Sommerville said that the poll will be held on Thursday, August 25, 2016 from 1:30 to 3:30 pm in Council Chambers at City Hall. All 91 unionized employees have received a copy of the final offer by courier. The City has one opportunity to go directly to the membership in this manner under Section 78 of the Labour Code — Last Offer Vote. Last week, the Steelworkers Jeff Bromley said that the union would advise it’s members not to accept the offer. The question on the ballot is: “Do you agree to accept the Employer’s offer for settlement of your collective agreement?”
Grazing goats on the job in Meadowbrook C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
There are goats doing their part for invasive weed control in the Meadowbrook area, and possibly even in Kimberley itself next year. The 33-goat herd is under the direction of Cailey Chase with Rocky Ridge Vegetation Control out
of Kamloops. Rocky Ridge owners Conrad and Donna Lindblom have provided the herd to Chase to provide targeted grazing in the Kimberley area. Targeted grazing is key, Chase says. “Not just any goat will do,” she said. “Goats will eat everything, but
the Rocky Ridge goats have been trained. It’s taken 20 years to build the herd to target invasives. It’s a whole system developed by Conrad and Donna.” Chase says the Rocky Ridge herd is gaining recognition. A program will be beginning at BCIT to teach this type of targeted grazing. The
Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops has contracted the Lindblom’s to teach their unique target grazing method in the new Sustainable Range Management Program Fall 2017. Currently, Chase has the herd out in Meadowbrook. “Right now we are at Sandra
Loewen’s property doing some brushing.” Brushing is not as targeted as grazing invasive weeds but the goats are naturals at it as they eat anything with a broad leaf. The goats have also been at several Meadowbrook properties eating knapweed.

Goats grazing invasive weeds in Meadowbrook From Page 1 “The interest has been amazing,” she said. “The Meadowbrook Community Association allowed us to put an ad in their newsletter. These people are quite aware of invasive weeds and we got a great response. Lots of people are asking me to come and look at their property.” No matter which way you choose to treat invasive weeds — spraying with herbicides or with goat grazing — it needs to be repeated for about three years to get a good grip on the problem.
Chase is pleased by response from private landowners and also from larger entities in Kimberley. While Council has not hired Chase yet to use the goats in Kimberley, she has been asked to come up with a proposal including costs. The Kimberley Alpine Resort has also expressed interest. “It’s very forward thinking of the ski hill and city to even consider goats,” she said. Asked what parts of town might be a good fit with the goats, she said there were many.
“Forest Crowne would be one and the gravel pit below Forest Crowne. Invasive weeds grow on disturbed ground and with Kimberley being an old mining town there is a lot of disturbed ground. There’s a good patch of knapweed in Lois Creek, near the water tower at the top of Townsite, around Mark Creek, and all kinds of lots around town. On the ski hill, the T-Bar and bottom of the main have a lot of knapweed. In any event, the herd will be staying in the area over the winter and are available to work.
The goats on the job in Meadowbrook this week.
“During the summer, they are always working. Right now we do have to move them in a horse trailer, but my dream would be to have enough work that we could move them job to job on land. You could start in the

lower areas like Wycliffe and gradually move them higher.” If you are interested in learning more about the goat grazing or would like to have the herd on your property, call Cailey at 250-602-9123.

KIMBERLEY NEWS AUGUST 14, 1957 DOUBLEHEADER VICTORY FOR SORENSON – HOBOS
In their closing doubleheader series of regular league play, Kimberley Sorenson-Hobos took two victories from the visiting Creston Clippers. The double victory vaulted them into undisputed second place in league standings.
Mel Johnson and Elgin Smith, both turning in superb relief pitching performances, led their ever improving mates to an 11 – 1 and 5 – 2 wins. HOBOS 11, CLIPPERS 1 – After a good start, Dave Blayney, who commenced mound duty for the locals, gave way to youthful Mel Johnson in the fourth. Entering the game with a 2 – 1 lead, the bases loaded, and two out, Mel commenced his near perfect relief
pitching role by striking out the first man to face him to retire the side. From that point on he never looked back, being tapped for but one lone hit, following with a display of heavy hitting Hobos romped to their win 11 – 1. Hobos jumped to a two-run first inning lead on three walks and Allan Patterson’s single, and followed Creston’s one run share of the fourth frame with two more tallies on five hits. A single run in the sixth increased the lo-

On Being Pantless in Purgatory It can be extremely embarrassing to be caught downtown without one’s pants on. Possibly it was less embarrassing because I wasn’t downtown in my town and I didn’t seem to recognize anyone as I wandered around attempting to purchase some pants. Mind you, I’ve no idea how I was to buy anything to cover my nether regions because, normally, I carry my wallet in the hip pocket of my pants, and, as I explained, I was pantless. People didn’t give me a bad time; nobody called out snide remarks although a couple of women smirked just a tad and those smirks made me want to go and hide somewhere, which would have been difficult because I just had to find some pants somewhere and a person can’t shop whilst hiding. Shop-keepers weren’t much help. Some looked at me blankly even though there were men’s pants on display in their shopfronts. Some assistants stalled and called for their bosses, who were less than useless in the men’s trousers business. It was a real, frustrating conundrum for me. I wasn’t cold. In fact I couldn’t feel any temperature as I wandered about, pulling my shirt down over my buttocks and trying not to look like some poor slob who happened to be pantless in some kind of purgatory.
We were skiing down this endless snowslope, or maybe it was a glacier. It seemed at the time to be a fun thing to do. Every skier has this dream of an endless snowslope and boon companions sharing it with him but this generally includes perfect powder snow. My snow on that run wasn’t perfect. It was slushy and therefore tough going Peter so that there was a huge Warland amount of concentration going on. I recall skiing down off Teepee Mountain one spring when the conditions were just like that. My friend, Roger, once described that run as a series of linked catastrophes; we both crashed a great deal. But that endless slope wasn’t like that. We didn’t crash but had to work extremely hard not to have catastrophes and it went on and on with those vague uncommunicative companions beside me. I was on the settee, I seem to recall, attempting to get some zees but I was being frustrated by visitors who had no regard whatsoever for my fatigue and discomfort. Richard kept maundering on about his recent sojourn in California and how they seem to dig up lawns and then replant them with different grasses. This was totally confusing to my tired mind as are most goings on in that nutty state. Then Ron was hovering there asking me to explain the
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
theory of evolution and I had to explain that it wasn’t a theory; it was an explanation as to what has been going on since time immemorial except, possibly, in his case. Then some mysterious character, who may or may have been my sister, kept chuntering on about my sloth and the state of my house and why wasn’t I getting a cleaning lady in. Bush roads have never really bothered me. Since my first VW bug and then on through a series of vehicles including a monster GMC Jimmy, Datsuns and then Nissans to my recent RAV 4 by Toyota, I’ve happily traversed the wildest roads, but the last trip was horrendous. Every turn on that old logging road brought more horrors from boulder fields to flooded, narrow gaps to waterfalls and trails so narrow that a crash over the edge seemed inevitable. My hazy companion seemed to be concerned about the paintwork on the vehicle but I drove on from one terror to another. It never seemed to end. But dreams are like that. Well! Recently mine have been and so I did some extensive research and delved into a handy copy of Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader where I learned all about Rapid Eye Movement which occurs three or four times a night with a high amount of brain activity which causes dreams that can last as long as forty-five minutes. This was all fascinating but ….whoops! Here I go again.

Cranbrook Townsman / Kimberley Bulletin
“Financially sustainable?”
Letters to the Editor
Regarding comments made by Mayor McCormick concerning the ongoing negotiations between the United Steelworkers and the City of Kimberley. The Job Evaluation System actually saves the employer money in terms of having to negotiate, bargain or use a third party arbitrator to determine position changes. The current offer affords some position increases of between 14-28% while the rest receive 1.5% or 1%. How is that fair? The City employees has enjoyed an average annual increase of just higher than the annual cost of living (2%). The average salary of the unionized membership is $48,000/year. The bargaining committee has repeatedly stated money isn’t an issue in bargaining. Maintaining the benefits already agreed to certainly is. The CAO and Mayor have already made public comments about the cost of labour at the City. Strangely enough they have not commented about the cost of management at the City. Why is that? The average salary of the 14 managers at the City of Kimberley is $96,000/year, not including expenses or benefits. Is that figure viable long-term? Have their benefits been cut? • CAO Salary: 2015 - $137,305.40; 2014 - $124,198.49 +10.55% • CFO Salary: 2015 - $133,434,35; 2014 - $107,393.44 +24.25% • Manager Operations Salary: 2015 - $108,570.95; 2014 $101,181.97 +7.30% These are only three of the top management salaries that average $96,000 at the City of Kimberley. There are approximately 15 excluded salaries/managers at the City. Source: www.kimberley. civicweb.net – 2014-15 Statement of Financial Information I don’t begrudge someone being paid a fair wage for their services, but do not call my members’ wages and benefits “no longer financially sustainable” when you have manager’s salaries in a pretty high tax bracket. If the City managers have a problem with the Job Evaluation system, they should have said so. If you were working beside someone at work and they received an 18% increase and you received 1%, how would you feel? On November 5, 2014, some ten days prior to the election, the Mayor met with the City of Kimberley Union Committee. The candidate made the comment that last round of negotiations (2012) was characterized as “them vs us”. The Mayor stated he didn’t like those terms. It was stated that his philosophy is that “people that are happy, do great work; poor morale and unhappy people do poor work.” Do you think you and your management staff’s actions during bargaining reflect that statement? It was either political opportunism or it’s not your philosophy at all. The unionized staff at the City are unhappy and morale is low, however I believe the Mayor was wrong. The unionized staff are still doing great work for the City of Kimberley taxpayers and residents. I would suggest you start practicing what you preach. If you want partners in trying to solve the problems that this city is faced with, perhaps you should try treating us as such. Instead you have managers taking down communication to the membership off of the bulletin boards; installing cameras at the Works Yard for “security reasons” and a general management style that relies on intimidation rather than cooperation. Management running around telling members they better vote in favour or they will be locked out. This is 2016, not the 1950’s. The unionized employees of the City of Kimberley have some great cost-savings ideas for the City. Maybe you should ask them. Most of them have been here for a long time and they plan on staying here. They also deserve better treatment at work. Bargaining a fair collective agreement would be a good start. Jeff Bromley United Steelworkers
Salaries and benefits
There are a few inaccuracies in the letter from the Steelworkers. First, the average salary of the unionized membership is not $48,000 – it’s $59,691 for full-time not including benefits of 35% on top. The average management salary is $86,834, not $96,000 as stated by Jeff. The salary figures are also incorrect. The figures Jeff provided are earnings, nor salary. The SOFI (Statement of Financial Information) report can be found here: kimberley.civicweb.net/filepro/documents/12574?preview=36561 The CFO earned $113,434, not $133,434.

Wallet returned
I would like to thank whomever returned my dropped wallet to the Husky on Sunday. It seems somehow it came out of my pocket outside the Husky and after I bought a bottle of water with change in my pocket, I got in my truck and drove home to Golden and which time I realized, no wallet, so after several phone calls, cards were cancelled etc etc. I called the station this morning and they told me they would ask the attendant on duty on Sunday and as I was re-doing my drivers licence, lo and behold, the call came in, they had my wallet so with new debit cards, off to Cranbrook. Thanks again to this person, it gives one faith in humanity again. Dan Pecora Golden

Nitros schedule locked in for 2016-17 Kimberley Dynamiters open regular season Sept. 9 when Fernie Ghostriders visit town
TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor
Though the dog days of summer wear on, the complete release of the Kimberley Dynamiters 2016-17 regular season schedule means one thing — hockey season is right around the corner. The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League released the complete regular season schedule for its 50th anniversary year earlier in August, unveiling the new format, 46-game slate for the first time. Following a threegame pre-season schedule, the new-look Dynamiters will open the 2016-17 regular season at home on Friday, Sept. 9, when the rival Fernie Ghostriders come across the mountains. After years of playing out a 52-game schedule that took teams across both of the league’s conferences, the KIJHL has moved to a 46-game schedule that will keep teams within their own respective conference. The only cross-conference play will come at the conclusion of the post-season during the KIJHL championship series. The new scheduling format will feature 23 home games for the Dy-
namiters, though the locale for those games remains to be determined. With the labour dispute ongoing between the City of Kimberley and the United Steelworkers Union, there exists a very real chance that the Kimberley Civic Centre will be unavailable for use in time for the start of the KIJHL season. In the case the dispute is not resolved before the season is set to get underway, the Dynamiters will practice and play all home games in Cranbrook at the Memorial Arena. Past president Chad Koran confirmed the contingency plan Tuesday morning. Regardless of where the games are played, Dynamiters fans will see rivalries renewed in great fashion with the concentration of their schedule within the KIJHL’s Kootenay Conference. A total of 31 games will be played against Eddie Mountain Division opponents, including eight each against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, Ghostriders and Columbia Valley Rockies. The Golden Rockets and Dynamiters will face one another seven times.
The remaining 15 games will be played against Neil Murdoch Division opponents, as the Nitros will take on the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, Castlegar Rebels, Nelson Leafs, Grand Forks Border Bruins and Spokane Braves three times apiece. One particular benefit to the reduced and conference-concentrated schedule is a reduction to the number of times teams are faced with playing three games in three nights. Come 2016-17, the Dynamiters will only play three games in three nights on one occasion. From Jan. 26-28, Kimberley will play three games — first in Fernie, second in Invermere before rounding it out at home against the Thunder Cats. The longest stretch of consecutive home games for the Dynamiters will come from Dec. 9-28, when they play host for five consecutive outings, welcoming the Thunder Cats, Rockies (twice) Leafs and Ghostriders. The lengthiest road tour for the Dynamiters comes from Oct. 29 through Nov. 12, when the team plays five consecutive games away from home, visiting In-
WESTERN HOCKEY LEAGUE
Speltz steps down as Chiefs GM, joins Maple Leafs front office TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor
The Spokane Chiefs are in the market for a new general manager. Tuesday afternoon, longtime general manager Tim Speltz announced he was stepping down from his role in order to accept a position as the director of western area scouting for the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs. “Today is a very special, albeit bittersweet, day for me,” Speltz said in a team release. “I am immensely proud of what we’ve been able to build in Spokane and I am confident that the
organization will continue to experience success under the guidance of Bobby Brett [owner/ president] and the entire Chiefs staff.
“The opportunity I’ve been presented with by Toronto is extraordinary and is something that I couldn’t pass up.” Speltz was originally hired by the Chiefs in 1990, building up the franchise over 26 years
and claiming two WHL championships and two Memorial Cup titles (1991 and 2008). Speltz was named WHL Executive of the Year on two occasions (1995-96 and 1999-00), while also taking home the award for CHL Executive of the Year in 199596. The Chiefs won a total of 961 regular season games during Speltz’s 26 years in charge, adding another 142 playoff victories. The Chiefs went 3330-5-4 during 2015-16, earning the second wildcard position in the WHL’s Western Conference.

Across the season, balance exists in the Dynamiters schedule in that they play five games in the bookend months of September and February, with nine games in each of the four
months between. The annual holiday home-and-home classic is on the itinerary once again, with the Ghostriders visiting Kimberley on Dec. 28, before playing host to the Dynamiters in Fernie on Dec. 29. Prior to opening the
regular season Sept. 9, the Nitros will play three pre-season games, visiting the Thunder Cats (Aug. 31) before hosting the Rockets (Sept. 2) and completing exhibition action on Sept. 3 in Grand Forks. All Dynamiters home games are tentatively set
to get underway at 7 p.m., though changes could come, particularly if the labour dispute is not settled. The KIJHL regular season concludes Saturday, Feb. 18. Next on the calendar, the Dynamiters open training camp Aug. 26.

Canada to battle for bronze after loss to Germany in women’s soccer semis C ANADIAN PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO The Canadian women’s soccer team will look to defend the bronze they won four years ago in London after being shut out in their effort to go for gold on Day 11 of the Rio Olympics. Canada’s bid to rise up the Olympic podium was derailed by Germany in a 2-0 semifinal loss Tuesday. Goals by Melanie Behringer and Sara Daebritz on either side of halftime dashed Canadian dreams of reaching the final as the second-ranked Germans efficiently ended the Canadians’ four-game win streak. Down 2-0 after 59 minutes, Canada came on in waves but was unable to make ground before a sparse crowd at Mineirao Stadium. Once the final whistle blew, tearful Canadian players were left to console each other on the field. “It feels like crap right now,” said midfielder Jesse Fleming. “I wanted to win a gold medal. But we’re going to win bronze … It sucks.” The Germans defended in numbers, with goalkeeper Almuth Schult a formidable barrier, and then looked to
counter-attack or just hammer the ball downfield. The 10th-ranked Canadian women will rue the opening goal in the 21st minute, a needless penalty conceded on a Kadeisha Buchanan sliding tackle. But Buchanan, who plays a take-no-prisoners kind of game, had to cover a lot of ground just to get to the German as the Canadian defence was caught short. The Germans will play No. 6 Sweden in Friday’s final at the storied Maracana in Rio. The Swedes defeated No. 8 Brazil 4-3 on penalties after the game ended 0-0 following extra time. Canada, which finished third four years ago in London after losing to the U.S. in the semifinals, will face the Olympic hosts earlier Friday in Sao Paulo for bronze. The two teams know each other well, splitting a two-game exhibition series in Canada prior to the Games. Canada had made history earlier in the tournament by defeating Germany for the first time after 12 consecutive losses. It was a brighter day for Canada on the track, with star sprinter Andre De Grasse cruising into
the semifinals of the men’s 200 metres in his quest for a second Olympic medal. The 21-year-old Markham, Ont., runner, who won a bronze in the marquee 100 metres on Sunday night, was first in his heat in 20.09 seconds, the best time of the day. Toronto’s Aaron Brown also made the cut in 20:23 seconds. The semifinals are Wednesday with the final set for Thursday night. In other preliminary events Tuesday, Nathan Brannen of Cambridge, Ont., and Charles Philibert-Thiboutot of Quebec City both advanced to the semifinals in the men’s 1,500, while Nikkita Holder of Pickering, Ont., and Phylicia George of Markham moved on to the semifinals in the women’s 100-metre hurdles. Canada was looking to add to its medal count on Tuesday with Derek Drouin of Corunna, Ont., competing in the high jump final. Meanwhile, Johnathan Cabral of Peribonka, Que. will hope to make it into medal contention by racing in the semifinals in the 110-metre hurdles. Canadians once again struggled in the water, with the 2012
Olympic bronze medallist in the men’s open water race failing to make the podium. Richard Weinberger from Surrey, B.C. finished 16.6 seconds back of gold medallist Ferry Weertman of the Netherlands, placing the Canadian in 17th. Jacqueline Simoneau of Saint-Laurent, Que., and Karine Thomas of Gatineau, Que., finished seventh in the synchronized swimming duet final. Boxer Mandy Bujold’s quest for a medal in her Olympic debut came to an end, as the native of Kitchener, Ont., lost a unanimous decision to Ren Cancan of China in the women’s flyweight quarter-finals. Track cyclist Hugo Barrette of Iles de la Madeleine, Que. lost his repechage race by 38 hundredths of a second to world championship bronze medallist Azizulashni Awang of Malaysia in the men’s keirin event. Calgary’s Allison Beveridge placed 11th in women’s track cycling omnium. In diving, Phillipe Gagne of Ville de Mont Royal, Que., finished 11th in the final of the men’s three-metre springboard.

Elvis fans make pilgrimage to his gravesite at Graceland A s s o c i at ed Press
Cranbrook’s own Mike Delamont
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Thousands of Elvis Presley fans have made their annual pilgrimage to Graceland for a candlelight vigil marking the 39th anniversary of the singer’s death in Memphis. Despite pouring rain, Presley fans from around the world are holding candles and
walking slowly through the gravesite of the rock ‘n’ roll icon, who died on Aug. 16, 1977. Since his death, devotees have come to pay their respects at Presley’s grave, which is located on the grounds of his former home-turned-museum. Monday night’s vigil caps Elvis Week, the annual celebration of his
life and career. Also Monday, officials announced details of a new 200,000 squarefoot entertainment complex being built across the street from the Graceland house. Police presence was heightened due to a nearby protest by activists supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

TORONTO - Listeners told executives at CBC Radio they weren’t so keen on the new “Q” - and so Shad has been given the boot, with his last show airing Tuesday. After not quite 16 months as host of the CBC’s most prominent arts program, the decision was made to remove the rapper from his job, based on an audience survey that suggested the show needed work, said Susan Marjetti, executive director of CBC Radio English Services, on Monday. “They said basically, ‘Be More,”’ Marjetti said in an interview. “‘Be more Canadian, be more engaging, be more stimulating. Be more in the know.”’ Marjetti, who was appointed to the role last August, asked about 3,000 listeners to weigh-in on “Q” through both focus groups and online surveys undertaken in the spring. She said the findings clearly showed there was a strong demand for Canadian music. About 73 per cent of listeners said it was “absolutely critical” to feature interviews with Canadian performers and stars from the music industry. Marjetti was less candid about how listeners reacted to Shad’s hosting abilities. But she said he could come back to host another show. “I’ve had many conversations with Shad this summer,” she said. “We’re both very open to exploring new possibilities that will really play to his many, many strengths.” While the CBC declined to make Shad available for an interview they did offer a statement: “Well, my time at ‘Q’ has come to a close.... My relationship with the CBC remains strong. We’re discussing the possibility of developing a new show together,” he said. “In the meantime and either way, I’m looking forward to having more time to put into music and I’m grateful for an amazing experience.” His exit from “Q” comes after his turbulent start in April 2015, when he was parachuted into the job as a replacement for Jian Ghomeshi, who was fired in October 2014. Shad, whose full name is Shadrach Kabango, came to the high-profile show with little hosting experience and was sometimes criticized for throwing softball questions to his guests and not engaging in deep con-
Shadrach Kabango versations. Some users on social media suggested that Shad failed to make the most of a big interview with pop superstar Adele, who spoke about motherhood and how music related to raising her son. And ratings for the show steadily weakened over time. In June 2015, after a couple of months with Shad on the air, “Q” was drawing 220,400 listeners on a per-minute basis, a common industry metric. Those numbers were down by 24 per cent this June. And the ratings are down about 28 per cent compared to June 2014, when Ghomeshi was still hosting the show. Broadcasters in the U.S. also soured to the revamped version of “Q.” NPR affiliate Oregon Public Broadcasting dumped the series in January as part of broader schedule changes, while KUT in Austin, Tex., followed suit this summer. Shad was chosen for the job from a pool of nearly 250 candidates, but he knew the gig came with heavy baggage given the allegations that swirled around Ghomeshi’s dismissal. “Certainly - that was a big deal what went down,” he said in an interview with The Canadian Press a month before his “Q” debut. “If there’s something I have to offer, it’s that I wasn’t around for it. “So I’m going to try to hop in and have all the optimism and enthusiasm that comes from just starting something brand new; fresh, clean slate.” Tom Power, host of “Radio 2 Morning,” will take the reins at “Q” in October. The 29-year-old native of St. John’s N.L., joined the CBC in 2008 and hosted the show “Deep Roots,” focusing on folk and roots music.

Contract talks with Canada Post stalled as CUPW’s strike mandate runs out C anadian Press
OTTAWA - As the clock ticks down on the Canadian Union of Postal Workers’ strike mandate, contract talks with Canada Post are going nowhere fast. Each side blames the other for the stalled negotiations. Union president Mike Palecek fears the Crown corporation is hoping to run out the clock on the union’s strike mandate, which expires Aug. 25. Once it expires, Palecek says Canada Post management could unilaterally change working conditions and the union would be unable to respond. Rather than allow that to happen, Palecek says CUPW will propose at the bargaining table solutions that would make it possible to continue talks without having to take another strike vote, a costly and time-consuming process. Canada Post spokesman Jon Hamilton says the union continues to insist on $1 billion worth of demands that are unaffordable. Need help with current events?

sued tickets when they were located and their identities have not been released, said Chris Doyle, deputy chief of the B.C. Conservation Officer Service. The incident took place April 30 on Highway 4 near Kennedy
Lake, between Tofino and Port Alberni. After the video was posted to social media, tips from the public allowed authorities to find the people responsible, Doyle said. Feeding bears is hazardous to people and
bears, which may come onto roads looking for food or become aggressive. “Once the bear has been fed by people it will have an association of people and food, so it can lead to further conflict,” Doyle said. “If they
become dangerous they may have to be destroyed.” Conservation Officers were searching this week for a bear that has been entering backcountry campsites in Garibaldi Provincial Park. Campers across
B.C. are reminded to keep food and garbage secure, using lockers if they are available or keeping attractants inside a locked vehicle. Feeding or negligently attracting bears is an offence under the Wildlife Act.
“If a bear appears close to your site, attempt to scare it off,” Doyle said. “Make loud noises, stay in a group, and don’t turn your back and run from the bear. Don’t back away and let it into your site.”

COMICS HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
Apocephalus borealis — the Zombie Fly
First case of Zombie fly parasite confirmed in honey bees in Nanaimo
Cranbrook Townsman / Kimberley Bulletin
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might start feeling some of the drain of the upcoming eclipse. Your relationships with friends and loved ones will be featured. Consider pursuing a long-term desire you have had. Committing to making it happen will give you an extra push. Tonight: Take a midweek break. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be aware of your feelings toward an authority figure. You might be inclined to be less than compliant, but that is not the smart move. Instead, go along with this person’s wishes. Listen to what a friend shares; he or she is more grounded than you realize. Tonight: In the limelight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be stressed out without knowing why. The real issue will be figuring out what you want to do and how you want to do it. Don’t make a decision just yet; more information is likely to emerge. Know when to say “enough.” Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be extraordinarily emotional, and the topic of the day is money. It would be wise to nix any financial discussions for now. More information is about to come to light. Know what you want from a personal situation. Tonight: Chat over dinner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Though you seem to be content, you’ll notice that those around you are contentious and challenging. Your reaction will define what happens. Will you have a knee-jerk reaction, or a thoughtful response? A loved one could start acting up. Tonight: Strut your stuff. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are all about getting the job completed as efficiently as possible. Listen to news that is forthcoming. Understand that many people could be very stressed out and will want to take a break, while others won’t even want to chat. Tonight: Be smart and do your own thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be in a situation that causes you a lot of grief. You
Tundra
seem to have a lot of pressure on you to be more expressive in at least one area of your life. Understand that breaking through self-imposed restrictions won’t be all that easy. Tonight: Let your hair down. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be in the midst of juggling two distinctly different interests simultaneously. You will want to reach out to a loved one for help, as you’ll have your hands full. You seem to be a bit overwhelmed right now. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be on top of your game; however, getting past others’ opposition could be hard. This barrier is merely a restriction that will end in time; do not take it seriously. Get to the bottom of the issue. Use your verbal skills, and you’ll make your point. Tonight: Accept an offer. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Money continues to be the hot topic. You might be more possessive than you realize, and someone is likely to give you
feedback that supports this conclusion. With an eclipse heading your way, opt not to make a financial decision for a few days. Tonight: As you like it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Other than a friend’s tenuous mood and someone else’s unpredictability, everything seems to be running as it should be. Be careful with someone who can be challenging. You might not agree with this person, but the issue is how to say so. Tonight: Just ask for what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel drained and pushed to the max. Know that these feeling are only temporary and should not be worried about. Instead, try to lighten up and enjoy being a little offbeat. You might consider taking a nap. Listen to your instincts. Tonight: Early to bed. BORN TODAY Actor Robert de Niro (1943), singer/songwriter Donnie Wahlberg (1969), actor Sean Penn (1960)

B E T H L E I G H TO N Canadian Press
A beekeeper in Nanaimo, B.C., is the first to document what could be a devastating parasite in Canadian honey bees. Sarah Wallbank says she noticed bees from her hive were flying erratically at night, persistently circling lights and then dying. An online check led her to ZomBee Watch and its director, biology professor John Hafernik at San Francisco State University, who tracks the Zombie fly and its parasitic attack on honey bees across North America. Hafernik says Wallbank’s bees are the first in Canada to be confirmed as infected, although hives are being checked in Victoria and Kelowna. He says the infection is concerning but not surprising, because the Zombie fly is native to North America and has targeted other native wasps and bumblebees. It appears only recently to have turned its attention to honey bees introduced by Europeans, however. Honey bees are a vital pollinator of agricultural crops and it’s not yet known how severely the infestation will affect populations, so Hafernik is appealing for what he calls citizen scientists to watch for insects acting strangely. “By acting strangely, I mean flying around at night when they should be huddled, staying warm in their hives, and often getting attracted to light, which is sort of our indicator that something unusual is going on in the hive,” says Hafernik. Bees are likely infected while foraging, and become increasingly disoriented as the eggs hatch in their abdomens. “After about five to seven days, the larvae have completed feeding on the inside of the bee, they literally eat the inside out of the bee and they then kind of erupt out of the area between the head and neck of the bee, sort of like aliens,” he says. A map of infected bee colonies shows heavy infestations on both United States coasts and Hafernik says the big question is whether the bug has spread through British Columbia to Alberta and possibly Ontario. Anyone seeing bees attracted to light, especially at night, should carefully collect the dying insect and save it in a container or baggie, observe if any larvae emerge, and report to ZomBee Watch, he says. “We are interested in whatever people find. Even if they find a honey bee that is showing this unusual behaviour and no parasites come out of it, we’d like to know that as well.” Hafernik says it has been “really great” making contact with citizen scientists such as Wallbank in Nanaimo, and her counterparts in Canada and the U.S.

DEAR ANNIE by Annie Lane
A BLUE-COLLAR AFFAIR Dear Annie: Two of my friends recently got married out in the countryside. Although the threeday weekend was sold as a “vacation in a cabin by the river,” the bride and groom expected everyone to come to the venue and work nonstop for the entire weekend. There were friends who drove across half the country with their families, only to spend hours upon hours decorating. Some worked themselves into complete exhaustion. The day before the wedding was spent in nonstop preparations the entire day. There was no food provided for the free “workers” or anything else of the sort. The couple’s disgruntled friends made plenty of comments about not having everything they needed to perform their assigned tasks and having to make due, and there was a general attitude of being overwhelmed and working too much. I not only was annoyed with the amount of work and lack of thankfulness but also barely got to spend any quality time with my boyfriend, who hardly even knows the couple. He was asked to help with manual labor and would disappear with the father of the bride for hours on end. Before we even parked our car the day of the wedding, my boyfriend was asked to help with parking all the other wedding guests and disappeared for another four hours. The day was rushed and panicked. I was in the bridal party and had less than 30 minutes to get ready because of all the tasks. I didn’t think my hair was more important than setting up a beverage station so the 120 guests had something to drink during the 81-degree outdoor wedding. After the ceremony, while people were dancing, her father needed to take the borrowed tables and chairs back to the church. We were loading 120 chairs, heavy tables, etc., onto a truck. The bride was dancing 10 feet away and acted as if she couldn’t see people working. We went with him to the church and were gone for nearly two hours. Upon our return, the bride asked me where I had been. I told her, and she said, “Well, you didn’t have to do that!” But someone did have to do it, and I wasn’t OK making my boyfriend do all of that work without helping. After we returned, the bride kept asking us to dance and have fun. We went to bed and left early in the morning before we could be asked to do anything else. I am ready to sever the friendship. Since when does having a country-style wedding make it OK to work your friends to death? How should we have handled this situation differently to save ourselves? This friend has started to contact me as if nothing happened. How do I respond without tainting the memory of her “special day”? -- Bride’s Maid Dear Maid: Forced unpaid labor doesn’t count as “something borrowed,” and the fact that it’s a couple’s special day doesn’t give them a free pass to act especially inconsiderately. One small chore would have been appropriate, but this situation crossed the line somewhere around the 40th car your boyfriend helped to park. The bride and groom weren’t thoughtful, plain and simple. That said, weddings can trigger acute bouts of myopia in otherwise well-adjusted people. If this was the first time these friends behaved this way, forgive -- but don’t forget. Next time, set boundaries early on, lest you be assembling a crib at the baby shower. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Wonder Woman,” who is in her 50s and self-conscious about her young workout class. You were so right to tell her to stop the cycle of negativity. I was astounded by her complete rudeness when she remarked about others her age desperately trying to get back in shape even though, in Wonder Woman’s opinion, that’s “never going to happen.” She is the reason people avoid going to gyms. The fact that these people are there should be applauded, not ridiculed. Wonder Woman needs to take a deep look at herself and determine why it makes her feel better to ridicule others while tooting her own horn. She should then apologize for her rude remarks -- although it’s clear that that’s never going to happen, either. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Charles Richard Adams It is with great sadness that the family of Charles Richard “Rick” Adams announces his passing after a long courageous battle with cancer, on July 29, 2016 at the age of 71. Rick will be lovingly remembered by his children Kathy Proudfoot (Marty), Caroline Adams (Lee), Christopher Adams (Jessie) and Crystal Adams (Jon). Rick will also be missed by his 7 grandchildren Korbin, Lydia, Kyra, Symone, Kayleb, Carly and Jacey and his great grandson Lucas. Rick was predeceased by his parents Charlie and Syl Adams, sister Elaine, brother Leslie and son Allan. Rick was a very simple man whose life revolved around his children and helping others. During his stay in palliative care, Rick was very overwhelmed by the steady stream of calls and visits from those who came to bid their farewells. He was deeply touched to find out how many people came forward to thank him for the role he played in their recovery from substance abuse. Rick found great passion in helping others through is sponsorship role in AA and always supported anyone that reached out to him. From the amount of calls and visits, Rick was very successful in helping others learn to live a better life... this realization brought him great joy in his final days and help close the final chapter of his journey surrounded by love.
