seat. Segarty said his extensive experience in politics, business, and as a community volunteer, puts him in a

unique position to maintain the effective representation we have enjoyed during the term of the current MLA. “I value the work Mr.

tegrity, respect and transparency — provide a strong representative voice for the people of Kootenay East on the issues that matter most.

Bennett did over his political career and thank him for his service,” said Segarty. “If chosen as your BC Liberal candidate, I will — with in-

Plan to borrow $10 million open for public feedback TREVOR CRAWLEY

Cranbrook city council is forging ahead with a plan to borrow $10 million to fix local roads and underlying infrastructure. However, it’s not offi-

cial yet. Under an Alternative Approval Process, a tool available to municipalities as laid out in the Community Charter, the public now has a chance to submit feedback that

will either move the plan forward or scuttle it. If more than 10 per cent of electors oppose the borrowing, it will not move forward. Conversely, if less than 10 per cent oppose the bor-

rowing, the plan will move forward. A deadline for feedback to city hall has been set for Oct. 31. “During the last election, the message was clear that residents of

Cranbrook wanted their roads fixed,” said Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt. “Over the past two years, we have done a substantial amount of roadwork, dedicating nearly $4 million a year to it.

“The addition of $10 million to our continued $4 million will allow us to do some major work on 2nd St. South, as well as other streets badly in need of repair. With this borrowing, we will be

Council looking at bylaw to delegate authority to staff TRE VOR CR AWLEY

City council gave three readings to a bylaw that will allow municipal staff to make approvals on a number of matters and issues instead of by mayor and council. The bylaw allows council to delegate authority to city staff to approve application requirements for Official Community Plan (OCP) and zoning bylaw amendments, development variance permits, development permits and heritage alteration per-

mits. Other areas that staff have delegated approval includes authority to require development approval information and land use and development approvals. There is a provision in the bylaw allows for an applicant to seek Council’s reconsideration of a decision by city staff. “I can tell you from personal experience, talking to some developers, that the major complaints that we’ve

heard, we’ve addressed with this [bylaw] and I can tell you, we’re telling the developers that it’s going to be easier to do business with us,” said Mayor Lee Pratt, during the bylaw’s discussion at the council table. “We’re open for business and the word’s getting out. I met with a number of them from out of town and Kevin Weaver’s had a few calls in the last three weeks from outside interests wondering what kind of lands are avail-

able here and looking at doing some development. “I think this is a big step in the right direction to start making things happen here and once the word gets out, people are going to be really pleased and happy to do business here.” Moving forward, council and staff will be establishing parameters for what types and scales of development permits for commercial and others could be delegated and which ones Council may

wish to review. According to a report, all development permits could be delegated to staff, however, staff feel that larger projects should go to Council for review. Both councillors Tom Shypitka and Ron Popoff voiced their support for the bylaw, which was passed unanimously. “We have professional staff, we trust you to make quality decisions and there’s still a back door if there’s need for consideration, so

this is allowing for staff to make unfettered discretionary decisions and I’m really glad we’re at that stage,” Popoff said. The authority to delegate decisions from the Council table is made available through the Community Charter and Local Government Act. Matters that cannot be delegated by Council include approval of Development Variance Permits, Board of Variance requests and bylaw approvals.

City of Cranbrook puts roadwork loan under AAP CONTINUED from page 1 The $10 million is currently proposed to beef up the 2017 Capital Roads Program, which would resurface roads and address priority water and sewer infrastructure. A major project forecast for next year includes a full reconstruction of 2nd St. South from Highway 3/95 through to 10th Ave. South with repaving from 10th Ave. South through to 14th Ave. South. That particular project involvers replacement of failing underground trunk mains and pavement structure as identified in the city’s Integrated Infrastructure Capital Plan (IICP) — a report created by staff identifying aging infrastructure that prioritizes replacement or rehabilitation work. The plan to go to an AAP to borrow $10 million came out of budget deliberations last winter, with the AAP bylaw — the 2017 Capital

TREVOR CRAWLEY FILE PHOTO

A major roadworks repair effort began this summer at 4th Street and 11th Avenue South and in other areas of town. Roads Program Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 3862, 2016 — given three readings by Council in June.

The bylaw had to be approved by the B.C. Inspector of Municipalities, and it was in August, before coming

back to council in order to receive public approval through elector response forms. “We realize this will

result in a small increase in everyone’s taxes,” said Pratt “This increase pales in comparison to the alterna-

tive. The longer we delay, the more it is eventually going to cost, becoming burdensome to some home

and business owners.” The debt servicing costs on the borrowing won’t begin until 2018, however, there will be modest increases per $100,000 of assessed value to property taxes and water/sewer frontage taxes. The city has a website (www.cranbrook. ca/aap) dedicated to explaining the AAP process, including an app that will help forecast home and business owners’ tax increase. Information packages and elector response forms are also available at city hall for pick up or download at www. cranbrook.ca/aap. Residents will also receive an information insert in their next city utility bills coming out later this month.

F O R T H E TO W N S M A N

Cranbrook RCMP responded to 128 calls for service over the past week, September 5 (6 a.m.) to Sept. 12 (6 a.m.), according to a press release from Staff Sergeant Hector Lee. • Three impaired drivers were nabbed — all alcohol-related cases. • Three collisions were reported, all within the city — a driver was charged in

one of the incidents. • There were no hit-andrun incidents reported. • Five mental health calls were reported. One individual were apprehended. • There were seven assault complaints. Two of these were domestic in nature —with one person charged in one of those incidents. The other domestic is still under investigation. Of the other five assault

complaints, one person was charged in a minor incident, and four were charged in a more serious incident (as reported in Friday’s Townsman). On September 7, Cranbrook RCMP were called to the scene of a large fight on Baker Street, nnear Safeway. When police arrived, a victim was located battered and bleeding. He was taken to hospital, where he remains with serious but

non life-threatening injuries. It was reported last week that two young men were located a short distance away and it was determined that they were the aggressors. A 17-year old youth from the Cranbrook area, along with a 16 year old youth, also from Cranbrook, were arrested for Assault Causing Bodily Harm. • Eleven thefts were re-

ported. Eight were shoplifting incidents. One was the theft of a license plate. One was the theft of a truck and trailer, which were later recovered after being found overturned on a rural road. This matter is still under investigation. • One Break and Enters was reported this week past, involving businesses in the industrial area. The matter is still under investi-

gation. • There was one report of property damage — the suspect has been identified and charges are forthcoming. • No drug seizures were reported this week past. • There were 14 false alarms/false 911 complaints. • One person was arrested for intoxication in public place.

$260,000 and the KNC was able to raise $200,000 themselvesGiving the Club the extra boost to purchase the groomer was the Columbia Basin Trust, who contributed $36,000 and 24,000 from the BC Resort Municipality Initiative administered by the City of Kimberley. “We are excited about this critical infrastructure investment through which we will

continue to offer excellent Nordic skiing,” said Nordic Club Treasurer Ross Banner. “And we appreciate the support of the community and our funding partnership with the City, the Province of BC, and the Columbia Basin Trust.” ““Over two million international visitors have come to B.C. in the first six months of 2016, a 12 per cent growth over the same period in 2015,” said Shirley

Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour. “Kimberley is clearly part of that success with a 30 per cent increase in day visits over the previous season.

Tri-Continental’s one-of-a-kind blues at the KCT Submit ted

Canadian Juno Award recipients and blues and world musicians Tri-Continental return to B.C. for 14 dates this fall. Tri-Continental performs at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 7:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased on line at keycitytheatre.com. Tri-Continental is a collaborative evolution that fuses the talents of three wonderful guitar-players, singers and songwriters. There are no musical boundaries present in this one-of-akind blues/folk/world music mélange. Bill Bourne, Lester Quitzau and Madagascar Slim present a truly unique and critically acclaimed sound that is soulful and present, intense and atmospheric. Bourne is a grand improvisor, Quitzau kidnaps the blues and takes it to new dimensions and Slim’s fascination with tradition and evolution keeps him on the leading edge as promoter of a new sound — the Malagasy blues. The trio was the vision of Hugo Rampen, former Artistic Director of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, when he first heard Bourne and Slim at a guitar fest in Toronto. Rampen knew they had something special and suggested a third guitar slinger could add another unique dimension to the music. Enter the smooth, soulful blues

Tri-Continental debuted at the 1999 Salmon Arm Festival when it was held during the beginning of autumn at Okanagan College. That show is remembered by many and still talked about as one of the most remarkable performances some had ever seen. The trio went on to receive a Juno award in 2000 for their debut album, completed 3 successful European tours and recorded three albums on the Tradition and Moderne label in Bremen Germany between 2001 and 2004. Since their last Canadian tour in 2007, each artist has continued to remain active in the music scene. Bourne, Quitzau and Slim are in their own rights well-recognized and respected artists

with successful solo careers. They are indeed major players in the Canadian roots music industry who have individually and collectively received 4 Juno awards and 10 nominations. Bill Bourne was raised in a musical family in rural Alberta and is the recipient of multiple Juno awards and has received international acclaim for his recordings and live performances. A mainstay on the global roots scene, life on the road is reflected in Bill’s music powerful rhythms and soulful songs steeped in World Beat, Blues, Cajun, Celtic, Folk, Flamenco,

Latin, Funk, Poetry and more. Lester Quitzau of Dutch / Danish descent, plays soulful acoustic electric folk, blues and roots music. With an understated mastery and grace, the Juno award winning musician explores the space between the notes, as much as the notes themselves. Lester’s musical roots run so deep he can craft a musical cloth that quilts together ringing peals of West African-sounding guitar with the feel of free-form jazz, threaded through with unmistakable strands of gutbucket blues.

Madagascar Slim, born Randriamananjara Radofa Besata Longin in Antananaviro, received a Juno for his debut solo album “Omnisource” and is a wonderful example of a truly bi-cultural artist. An expert in the popular “Salegy” dance style featuring intricate fingerpicking patterns, his life was changed forever when he found the music of Jimi Hendrix. He has been inflicted with the blues virus ever since. Tri-Continental is an engagement between these musicians and friends built on artistic respect and a deep passion for, and knowledge of the blues. This is clearly evident in the music they create, where sharing and curiosity has led them on a fascinating musical exploration resulting in a beautiful, infectious sound where blues, world, Celtic, folk, flamenco and African rhythms fuse into one. Accentuated by sweet vocal harmonies and imaginative guitar playing, Tri-Continental’s global blues and roots music is a testament to faith, dreams, talent, and friendship.

Campaign 2016 crash and burn

might as well be watching a 30-car pile-up the way Americans are holding hands over their eyes trying to avoid the grisly bits of the most grotesque presidential race we have witnessed in this, the second decade of the 21st Century. Of course, it’s only the 2nd election during that time, but still. That is not to say 2012 wasn’t genuinely gruesome, with more than its share of cataclysmic collisions and demolition derby debacles, but this time they’re headed downhill faster than an 18-wheeler with burned out brakes carrying a load of nitroglycerine on the western slope of the Andes. This is a race to rock bottom to see which team ends up least wrecked, and right now they’re both jostling for pole position. Everybody is losing paint riding into each other while running over rocky roads gouged by their own staffs. Must be why they call them pit crews. You’ve heard the term “Accidents waiting to happen?” Well the opposite is “accidents waiting for a break in the action.” The two most polarizing drivers in the history of

American politics have veered into so many walls, both their nicknames could be Crash. Recently the Donald and the Hillary pulled into the paddock to attack their opponent’s foreign policies, a shock to the majority of spectators who were unaware either had a foreign policy that didn’t consist on calling in air strikes on the other’s campaign. And tire irons swung at their fuel lines. Now we’re getting to the point in this short track race where driver fatigue kicks in, and the unforced errors Will have begun to accumulate. Durst Hillary Clinton said she was wrong to call half of Trump’s supporters a basket of deplorables. And she was wrong. It’s more like 63 percent. Donald Trump used the Mexican president as a prop, then gave an immigration speech that spurred most of his Hispanic advisory board to resign. Although to be honest, Trump Hispanic Advisory Board sounds like Democratic Leadership Council. Trump also praised Vladimir Putin for being a strong leader with an 84 percent approval rating. It would be higher, but the KGB hasn’t been able to track down the other 16 percent. Yet.

Even the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, got in trouble for not knowing what Aleppo was. Presumably he was thinking a small leopard or someone suffering from the initial stages of Hansen’s Disease. Time is running out for all the major candidates to grab some clean air. Hillary needs to prove she’s not a robotic automaton who will do or say anything to get elected. And she intends to do that as soon as she installs a larger hard drive and updates her operating system. Pneumonia, right. Trump knows he needs to assure the electorate he’s more than some spoiled rich guy whose diplomatic horsepower is measured in arrogant smirks; he’s even gone so far as to hire a female campaign manager to smirk for him. The good news is the finish line is only two months away. The bad news is one of these lug nuts is going to take the checkered flag. The upside being, on November 8th, our long national nightmare will be over. Until November 9th, when the funny car race for 2020 begins. Gentlemen and ladies, prepare to start your engines.

really well. “The guys battled hard and they competed. Their compete level and how they worked, was very, very impressive.” It was the early season jitters that got the best of them, when the Riders opened the scoring 32 seconds into the game. Fernie then had a 2-0 lead in the third before Kimberley got on the board. Local-boy, Caige Sterzer, banged home a rebound. Sterzer was so excited to be in the game, and even more thrilled to score, “I was so pumped to be on the ice with my team on the home opener. We have a great new bunch of guys and coaching staff. “I was honoured to score my first goal in front of friends, family and the home town.

For 59 minutes it was an entertaining and close game for the 607 in attendance at the Civic Centre. But the game finished in Fernie’s favour as they won 2-1 and led 29-21 in shots. “Having 600 plus people there Friday, the boys fed off the energy of the crowd.” Stuart recalled. “For a young team having their home opener against one of the pre-season favourites to win the league, the nerves were high, they were scored on the first, but they did very well.” The Dynamiters followed up their one-goal loss on Friday with a one goal win on Saturday, defeating the Castlegar Rebels 4-3 in front of 351 fans. In a moment of déjà vu, the Nitro’s gave up an early goal to the Rebels. “For some reason, we are having a tough time at the start of a game and also the start of a period. “Three of the five goals we have given up this year have come within the first minute of a period. We need to figure that out right away and fix it.” The Nitro’s responded with three goals in the second frame. “It was very encouraging to see from a coaching standpoint. Because, if we can establish that as our model for the year it is a very good foundation.” Korbyn Chabot set up Chase Miller for the first goal, and then Miller returned the favour and helped Chabot get the next goal. Sterzer restored the Dynamiters lead when he poked a loose puck in.

Man awarded Guinness record for successful lengthwise Lake Okanagan swim Canadian Press

The Guinness World Record website confirms endurance swimmer Adam Ellenstein has claimed the honour of the fastest, continuous lengthwise swim of British Columbia’s Okanagan Lake. The confirmation comes about six weeks after the 39-year-old U.S. resident completed his 106.6 kilometre swim from Vernon to Penticton. According to the Guinness World Record site, the official time of the gruelling feat was 40 hours, 57 minutes and 11 seconds. Ellenstein’s swim began in the early hours of July 25 and wrapped up late the next night and Guinness says he is the first person to complete a lengthwise traverse of the lake. The Guinness website says Ellenstein remained in the water at all times, receiving food and drink from a support team who paddled alongside him in two kayaks and passed him rations as needed. The marathon swimmer who last year swam across Lake Winnipeg, dedicated this year’s marathon to increasing awareness of Parkinson’s disease because his aunt was recently diagnosed with the illness.

get Ketola the puck, and had no issue giving the Dynamiters a 4-3 lead. That was the score until the final buzzer sounded.

“It was awesome to be able to contribute to our teams first win of the season.” Sterzer shared. “Now we just have to have a good week of practice and carry it on to next weekend against Golden and Fernie.”

The Dynamiters return to the ice this Friday when they host the Golden Rockets at the Civic Centre, game time is 7pm; and then host the Fernie Ghostriders in a rematch on Saturday at 7pm. Match Sticks: Ruslan

COMICS Horoscopes by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can count on a partner. You energize others, though at times they find you unusually quirky. Listen to your inner voice. You have always been independent and forthright; nothing has changed. You have unusually high energy, even for you. Tonight: Meet a pal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You demand a lot from yourself as well as from others. You might find it difficult to detach from a partner who is actively pursuing one of your mutual goals. Don’t be surprised by what is happening around you; just observe for now. Tonight: A force to be reckoned with. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone at a distance. You might not be as sure of yourself around this person as you would like. Make the appropriate gesture, and be willing to run with someone else’s idea. A friend is likely to surprise you. Tonight: Roll with the moment. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Highlight one-on-one relating. Understand what needs to occur in order to follow through on an associate’s great idea. You might want to ask more questions, but you are unlikely to have the time, and the other party is unlikely to have the patience. Tonight: With a favorite person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Defer to others, and make sure you can go along with their ideas. Not only are you looking at a change in how you relate to and communicate with others, but by being less dominant, you also allow them to show their true colors. Tonight: Be spontaneous. Do something offbeat! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Use the daylight hours to complete as much as you can. Some of you might want to catch up on emails, whereas others might want the solitary time to complete a project. Know that others are likely to make it difficult to stay focused. Tonight: You can’t say “no” to an invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your playfulness emerges and you are full of get-up-and-go, whereas others seem to be

Tundra

very serious. A situation could push you into fifth gear. A close associate or loved one might distract you with a surprise of sorts. Tonight: Start unwinding, as tiredness takes hold. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Tension mounts. When you reverse course, know that you will stun many people, perhaps even a close friend. Taking responsibility for an impending potentially uncomfortable situation might feel better than you initially had thought. Tonight: Put on your dancing shoes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are driven to achieve more of what you want. A friend or loved one will support your ideas -- not because he or she is close to you, but because he or she sees real value in them. Listen to critiques; use them to tighten up your project. Tonight: Head home ASAP. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Security remains a high priority at the moment. You could be confused about the details of a project, but a meeting is unlikely to help you clarify them. Go through all the information

and write down questions, then approach the appropriate person. Tonight: At a neighborhood haunt. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be quite assertive with a friend, or vice versa. Don’t allow negativity into a discussion. Accept this person’s point of view rather than attempt to change his or her mind. Understand the liability of being too open. Tonight: Indulge in a favorite pastime. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take some private time away from an authority figure in order to reflect. You need to establish your priorities in a way that this person will understand. The first reaction you get will not be the final reaction. Use caution with all money dealings. Tonight: Out and about. BORN TODAY Actor Clayton Moore (1914), singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse (1983), actor Andrew Lincoln (1973)

Dear Annie by Annie Lane

the well is dry Dear Annie: A number of years ago, my parents trusted their money and retirement income to a financial adviser who was also a personal friend. When my father passed away seven years ago, my mother became his beneficiary, with me being second in line. My mother had a huge memorial celebration for my father, which cost a few thousand dollars and was attended by 100 people. Some time after that, I moved in with my mother, and we combined our Social Security income to be able to stay in her home. My mother recently passed away unexpectedly, and while settling her affairs, I was informed that her investments have been terminated. It seems that the financial adviser set up the original investments to be surrendered back to the entities that were originally set up by my father. So funds I thought would continue do not. What do I say to the friends and neighbors who are expecting a lavish party to celebrate my mother’s life? My mother did not wish for me to duplicate what she did for my father. But these folks keep asking me when the big party is going to be. I don’t have funds for that, nor was it something my mother wished. Is there a way to respond without getting into specifically why I can’t afford it? -- Can Just Afford the Toast Dear Toast: The toast -- a heartfelt speech in memory of your loving mother -- is far more important than any lavish banquet or big party. If you’d like to have some response for when people ask when the “big party” is, you can simply tell them it’s not what your mother wanted. But you are not obligated to explain yourself to anyone. I also would suggest talking to a lawyer or another financial adviser about what happened with your parents’ investments. It never hurts to get a second opinion. Dear Annie: What advice do you have for retaining my credit? I was married for 17 years, and everything was in his name first. He became ill with cancer, and I was the primary breadwinner, paying our home off two years early and our truck loan six months early. He passed 10 years ago. I found out a few years back that I have no credit. I have worked my butt off paying my bills, especially medical bills, to get my credit up. A year ago, I went online and checked my credit score. It showed in the 700 range, which made me feel pleased with myself. But I just received two rejection letters for credit cards, one from Capital One and the other from Cato. Both say it is because I have no credit! Do I just start all over at the age of 51 and apply for first-time credit? I am at a loss and don’t know what to do. Family members have suggested I apply for a credit card with a small limit to get started, but I feel I wouldn’t be accepted. Help! -- Uncredited Dear Uncredited: Your best and safest bet is to get hooked up with a good financial adviser. Find a fee-only adviser by going to http://www.napfa. org. He or she can then assess your situation and present all your available options. Aside from that, look into joining a credit union. Credit unions are great for those establishing credit for the first time. You won’t get amazing credit overnight, but no one does. It will come with time, as you’re clearly a responsible person. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Married to a Louisville Hummer,” whose wife won’t stop humming and is driving him nuts. Well, I bet I know why she’s humming. A few years ago, I dated a man who would say to me, “Elizabeth, you are humming.” While reading your column, I realized that this person was the only person I ever hummed around. I believe the reason was he made me tense because of his demeanor. This uptight man had the need to brush his teeth five times each day, comb his hair each time he got into a car and comb it again as he exited. His perfectionism in all matters must have had an effect on me that caused me to hum quietly rather than hit him over the head with his toothbrush. -- Hmmph Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.
