Mayor, councillors ready to pitch ideas to province Trevor Crawley
An annual conference of civic politicians is set to include local representatives in Victoria next week, as mayors and councillors will lobby the provincial government on municipal issues. Cranbrook is no exception, as Mayor Lee Pratt and city councillors Ron Popoff, Tom Shypitka and Wesly Graham, along with Chief Administration Officer David Kim, will be heading down to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference to advocate for issues that resonate with local residents. In terms of meetings with provincial cabinet ministers, there are issues ranging from traffic lights on highways to updates with the with the Cranbrook/Kimberley Economic Development Initiative.
One meeting of interest involves a sit-down with Mike Morris, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor about the potential of having a penitentiary in the region. “We’re going to be pitching the penitentiary idea,” said Pratt, who will be making the presentation with Kimberley mayor Don McCormick. “We’re going to give an overview of what we’re doing. “We’re planning a trip to Ottawa after UBCM, but we thought we’d let them know where we’re at with it and give them an update on the positives to this location.” The proposal is in very preliminary stages, according to Pratt, but requires federal approval if it goes forward.

Susie in the danger zone F or the Town s ma n
Little Susie got struck by yet another car Monday in the TM Roberts School area. For those travelling in school zones you might have had the opportunity to notice that Little Susie is standing in the middle of cross walks. She’s pretty unassuming. She doesn’t yell at you. She doesn’t make faces at you. She just stands there hoping you’ll see her. Little Susie is bright orange, and is attached to a tire rim and wheels. You would think she would be easily noticed. Apparently not. On Monday Little Susie was run over by a vehicle travelling on 3rd Avenue, past TM Roberts. The driver ran right over her, dragged her for several feet and then left without checking to
see if she was okay. Thank goodness Little Susie isn’t real. She is simply a reminder for drivers that children use those crosswalks during school hours. Over the past two years, Amy Woodland has lost several Susies. Gordon Terrace’s Susie had an unexpected demise and now TM Roberts. “Little Susie’s are there as a reminder that kids are present,” said Cst Katie Forgeron of the Cranbrook RCMP. “With the amount of Susies being damaged I can’t believe a child hasn’t been hurt. We need to look out for kids on the roadways, on the sidewalks, and near schools and parks. “Hitting anyone with your vehicle is a life changing event for both the driver and the person who is struck. Pay attention when you are driving!”

A sample of some of the 430 riders who participated in the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo, Sept. 10.
Fondo draws record number of riders For the Townsman
Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club member Glenn Dobie is exuberant in the aftermath of last Saturday’s Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo, which attracted 430 cyclists, the largest number of participants in the event’s four-year history. “With incredible business sponsorship support and great support from the community as well as other Rotary clubs and service group support, we have built and established a world class Fondo right here in Cranbrook and
Kimberley.” “The cyclists continually tell us we are the most fun, friendliest and best organized Fondo they’ve ever participated in.” A comment from one of the cyclists in the event sums it up best, Dobie says. “The communities of Cranbrook and Kimberley should be proud of the top notch quality volunteers who made the KRGF so enjoyable. The venue and everything was absolutely outstanding. Can’t wait until next year.” With a record num-
ber of cyclists this year, Dobie says he’s optimistic the event will hit the 500 mark before the final registration next year. The Fifth Annual Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo takes place Saturday Sept. 9, 2017. The event is a fundraiser for the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club and a winner for the community at large because most of the money raised goes right back into the community, says Dobie. Recipients include the Mark Creek Lions, Wasa Lions, Crime Stoppers, the Canada Animal Disaster
Rescue Team , the Mt. Baker Girls Volleyball Team, the Kimberley Volunteer Ski Patrol and others. Some $14,500 has been donated to the North Star Rails to Trails Society alone over the past four years and other funds have been donated to the Elementary School iRide Program, planning with the City of Cranbrook for installation of bike racks through the downtown area and other community-based service projects. Many riders came from southern Alberta

“The federal government owns the land, it’s the old Kimberley airport, so we’re just pitching to them, that if they’re going to build a new penitentiary, that’d be a big savings to them, costwise, as they already own the land,” Pratt said. “We’ve got all the services here, we’ve got the airport within five minutes of it, we’ve got the hospital and the college and the regional stuff that all the bigger centres have — we have it here, too, and the labour force that would be more than able to satisfy the needs.”
Pratt adds that even though the discussions are extremely preliminary, it’s important to get the process started as early as possible. Having the support of the provincial government will go a long way to getting federal approval, he said. Another meeting will include some FaceTime with Teresa Wat, the Minister of International Trade and Minster Responsible for Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism, who put Pratt and McCormick in touch with some investment opportunities related to the Cranbrook/Kimberley
Economic Development Initiative. Turning lane lights at Highway 95A and Theatre Rd, along with the intersection at the top of Victoria Ave up Gold Creek, are topics also on the radar, which will require a meeting with Todd Stone, the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. A wildfire interface proposal involving the timber sale of marketable products from areas that contain wildfire risks will be the subject of a conversation with Steve Thomson, the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

including Calgary and Lethbridge while others came from all over BC and as far away as Austin, Texas and Oxford, England. The Pedal and Tap Restaurant King and Queen of the Ft. Steele Hill winners were in the
male class Brad Pilling of Okotoks, AB (4.04 “) while Charlene Owen of Calgary won in the female class with a time of 5.18 minutes. The Masters Winner in the male class was John Woodson of Austin, Texas (4.24”) while the female winner
was Susie Stewart of Calgary at 4.52”. The Heid Out Brewhouse Team Spirit Award went to Team Klostapukin of Lethbridge. Submitted by Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club
City tackling wildfire interface concerns
T re vo r Cr awl ey
Cranbrook approved an operation fuel reduction and timber harvesting project in the city’s Watershed area as part of a plan to reduce the risk of wildfire. The operation is expected to generate a $75,000 windfall that will be directed back into a hazardous fuels fund for future fuel reduction projects. The project will involve city lands, with Canfor handling the harvesting and timber sales, while Paper Excellence has agreed to purchase wood waste that is unsuitable for timber sales. Pratt says the province is keeping an interested eye on what the city is doing. “This was put together by staff and I think it’s a great idea,” Pratt said, “so basically what they’re going to do working with Canfor and Paper Excellence, they’re going to do a study on this — I think it’s 75 acres. “Some of the timber will be marketed, some
of it Paper Excellence will take, but out of that, we’re going to have an idea of what we can generate off of that wildfire interface we’re looking at and approach the province to partner up with us again, so I think it’s a good initiative and looking forward to what comes out of it.” In addition to approving the operation in the Cranbrook watershed, city council also voted to send four funding applications to UBCM for fuel reduction projects. • St. Mary’s River park — A 27-hectare project at St. Mary’s River park adjacent to Shadow Mountain sub-division. The requested funding is $52,100 to cover costs for a burn of the area, with the assistance of the B.C. Wildfire Service. • Aspen Gold Creek — The application is asking for $41,400 to cover costs for hand slashing maintenance of a 36-hectare area located in the Gold Creek
Watershed. The area was previously treated in 2008 with a National Resources Canada Grant. • Lower Baker Mountain — Another project in the Gold Creek watershed is a proposed 27.8-hectare area that requires maintenance for fuel reduction. The application is for $56,960 and was previously treated in 2008/2009. • Airport Lands — The application is for a 22-hectare area for fuel reduction at the city’s airport lands that is expected to cost $39,600. The area was previously treated in 2006 and the current project is expected to manage the forest regeneration. According to UBCM’s funding formula, the applications will be funded 90 per cent by the organization, while the city will pitch in the remaining 10 per cent. However, the Columbia Basin Trust also has a grant contribution available for 50 per cent of the city’s requirement.

Council discusses two unpaved Pinecrest roads
T r e vo r C r aw l e y
discussed two spans of roadway — 27A Ave and 29th Ave, between 3rd St. to 7th St. — which has been two gravel roads since underlying infrastructure was replaced in 2010.
Two unpaved roads up in the Pinecrest neighbourhood aren’t going to get resurfaced soon — at least not this year. City council briefly
City staff was not confident that they could sneak the two roads into the 2016 paving program and suggested consulting with the Integrated Infrastructure Capital Plan

with an eye on the the 2017 construction season, according to David Kim, Cranbrook’s Chief Administration Officer. “There is a better chance to work that into 2017 discussions as there will be more funding availability, as well as some of the budget processing that we are utilizing would suggest that it appears that there is a better
chance for this priority to go ahead in 2017,” Kim said. Mike Matejka, the city’s project manager, also elaborated on the status of the two roads, upon questioning from council members. “What we’ve looked at, same with all of our assets in our asset management framework, is if and when that project is deemed to go for-
ward, the level of service would be upgrade to a paved road,” he said. “What we’re trying to do is compare the existing surface and the existing condition of the surface as directly as we can with other paved surfaces in the town, such that when it’s in a condition of same or equal deterioration as the other
paved surfaces in town, then we would go ahead and upgrade that surface to a paved road.” Matejka added that staff has an idea of how much it would cost to pave the roads, but would also like to include some storm sewer upgrades along with the paving whenever the project moves forward.
Public Life – private health details Yes, that is David Wilks, not David Willks double
Submit ted
Hillary Clinton had a bad day in New York recently. Her stumble was seen on newscasts around the world. Clinton’s health became a wellspring of endless public speculation about her private issue. In 2016, that’s the entry fee for people intent on offering for public service. David Wilks, who is currently seeking nomination by the Kootenay East BC Liberals for the 2017 BC general elec-
tion, recently had a miniscule Hillary experience. Not feeling well, David went to hospital and successfully pulled off a potential Undercover Boss stint at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. In the midst of campaign conspiracies south of the border, David dawned a gown and wires and laid uncomfortably in his bed. Wilks’ gown and bed weren’t designed for his six foot five body.
David Wilks Conspiracy theorists in New York accused Clinton of trying to fool electors by using a “double” to create the impression that she was
healthy just hours after her stumble. In the Kootenays, voters won’t have that problem. It would be too difficult to find a tall, fifty year old, 260 pound man with a shaved head, in good physical shape to masquerade as David. Besides, Wilks is chipper as ever and after a proactive visit with the wonderful staff of East Kootenay Regional Hospital, the doctors gave David a clean bill of health.

It happened this week in Cranbrook The Week of September 18 - 24
Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives
1904 Parents & teachers … We believe in good schools, and we know that to secure good schools there must be good teachers. There is still another important point, and that is the co-operation of the parents. While reading the ot her day we ran across the following suggestions that impressed us as containing a lot of good horse sense, and we reproduce them for the benefit of The Herald readers: Do not be afraid to go to the teacher and give her an idea of your child’s disposition and temperament, your years of experience with him will be valuable to her. She will thank you for it. Do not believe all that your children tell you about school. There was only one George Washington, and he is dead. Do not fail to make allowance for slight exaggeration when hearing of pranks in school. They strive to stimulate the imagination in school nowadays, but hardly in that direction. Do not accuse the teacher of undue favoritism. If she is kinder to one child than to another it is because that one does not take advantage of the liberty allowed him. This is simple justice. Do not tell the teacher that Willie will not lie. She probably knows better. Do not condemn the teacher without a fair hearing. That is accorded to even the worst criminal. There are usually two sides to a story. Do not send a scathing note to the teacher by Nellie, the contents of which she knows. Her aggressive look of triumph is not soothing, and the teacher is only human. Do not make unfavorable comment upon the methods of the teacher in the presence of your child. Send him to carry in the wood while you are doing so, if it must be done. Do not expect the teacher to understand Jimmie’s disposition the first day. You have studied it for six years and there are still kinks in it which you have failed to straighten out. Do not let your children hear you tell of the tricks you successfully played upon the teacher when you attended
school. They need no instructor in mischief. Do not plead lack of time to visit the school. There is no excuse for shirking a duty. Do not reproach the teacher with the fact that “Tommy has not learned a single thing the entire year.” She is not responsible for his lack of brains. Do not send a verbal request to have Jessie’s seat changed. There is often no vacant seat, and one change usually means at least half a dozen. Do not forget that the teacher’s interest in your child is personal. She will do more to help him than anyone except yourself. Do not expect the teacher to manage without friction a child whom you yourself have never been able to control. Do not insist that the teacher is keeping your child back through spite. She will hardly risk her reputation as an instructor to gratify a personal grudge, however disagreeable the child may be. Do not condemn the teacher because she makes mistakes. You make them in managing three or four children; she has fifty or more. Do not forget that the parent owes a duty to the teacher just as surely as the teacher does to the child. Don Carlos, the hypnotist ... Don Carlos and his company of funny fun makers will open on Monday, Sept. 26, for one week. Don Carlos is a hypnotist, up-to-date in his influence on animals as well as men. Remember the opening date, next Monday. Big classes … The trustees of the Cranbrook schools should secure a sufficient number of teachers to take care of the pupils. The idea of one teacher having eighty pupils is simply preposterous. If the department at Victoria is so slow or negligent as to fail to meet the necessities, then let the trustees show their independence and close the schools. Cranbrook must have proper educational facilities, and it is up to the trustees to see that the town secures them. The responsibility is upon their shoulders. Cranbrook orchestra … Cranbrook can now boast of the best orchestras in the interior of British Columbia. Their music is like a
dream, and those fortunate enough to have heard them are delighted. The Herald trusts that the people of Cranbrook will show their appreciation of this organization. The town has long bemoaned the fact that it had no orchestra, and now it has one of the best. It costs money and untold labor to keep an orchestra in shape, so the people should always have a word of encouragement at home and abroad. Starting up … The Entre Nous club is being re-organized for this season. A number of bachelors met the other evening and formed a temporary organization and arranged for the first dance to be held October 4th. The gentlemen in charge propose to make this season’s series even more enjoyable than last. Large nuggets … William Pool, the wellknown Poplar Creek operator, passed through town last Monday. While talking to some friends on the station platform he displayed two gold specimens that caused the people near there to open their eyes in amazement. There were chunks of solid gold sticking out of the quartz, and one lady present was heard to venture the guess that the rock was surely worth $50,000. It was very rich but it hardly worth that much. Well equipped … F. J. F. Perry, who has the management of the Cranbrook Cartage company, is a great hustler and believes that to do business right it is necessary to have the proper facilities. To carry out this idea he has spent a large sum of money in new equip-
ment, more horses, new wagons, harness, etc., until today he has an outfit that would make a firm in Winnipeg engaged in the same line of business envious. 1905 MOYIE SKUNKS … Every year about this time Moyie is infested by skunks. During the past, two weeks at least a half a dozen of these sweet scented pets have been killed in the vicinity of town. Good hunt … L. T. Smith and Fred Delzell had a very successful hunt at Hosmer this week. They shot two goats on the top of Hosmer mountain. The animals fell so far after they were shot that their horns were shattered and their heads were valueless. They also shot a deer. Yesterday they constructed a raft at Hosmer and tying their game to it they made the trip to Fernie. At places where the current was strong the journey was rather interesting. Fishermen – not … As Messrs. Alexander and Drummond were walking along the Elk last Sunday, about four miles south of the city, they overtook two suspicious looking foreigners who were ostensibly fishing. A few moments later they heard the sound of a muffled explosion, as of dynamite exploding under water. Guessing the truth they hastened back to secure evidence that the men were dynamiting fish. One of the two fled, while the other, named Mike Pahara, stood his ground. Beside him they found four sticks of dynamite and in the water were a few floating fish, stunned by the explosion. Bahara could offer no explanation except
that his friend named Griesaka had brought the dynamite up to blow up a log dam. They were both arraigned in the police court on Tuesday. Griesaka pleaded not guilty, but his friend tried to squirm out of it, without success. The magistrate imposed a fine of $30 and costs upon each. Half of this goes to the government, while the other half belongs to the informant. In the present instance the Society for the Protection of Game gets $30, as all members have agreed to turn in all such fees to that society. A rink needed ... After such a successful and enthusiastic sporting season as the citizens of Cranbrook have enjoyed the past summer, it would be strange indeed if developments were not soon forthcoming to provide for some equally enjoyable and exciting amusements for the long, dreary winter months. There can be no question that a good skating rink in this place would be a very profitable proposition for the promoters, and we hope to see definite action taken with regard to the matter at an early date. Cranbrook has hockey material that it would be hard to discount even at Ottawa, and here is a sport that Canadians revel in all over the Dominion. Then there is the good old Scotch game of curling that would furnish amusement for the multitude. With a rink here Cranbrook would have the Kootenay Bonspiel cinched, for her winters are well known to be better adapted for ice sports than anywhere else in the district.

any of my older friends are now dead. After serving in the army, navy or air force during World War 11 and surviving the bombing and thus thinking themselves immortal, they launched into the risky sports of rock climbing and tackling monstrous mountains but they still managed to survive and eventually to succumb to disease, dementia or over-whelming old age with someone wiping the drool off their chins as they attempted to recount their earlier deeds of derring do.

Then Gerry decided that he’d maybe climb Fisher Peak; that would be his first deed of derring-do. He’d had a go at climbing Fisher Peak years before but had
become distracted by the marmots in the basin below the shale slide. He’d dreaded that horrible loose slope and so had wandered off track with the camera his son Ralphie had given him and then it had grown late and he’d come down. Then, after his loving spouse Martha had climbed the mountain with a couple of her ditzy girl-friends, Gerry had reasoned that, if they could do it, any one could do it and, therefore, it wouldn’t be worth his efforts; he’d try something nobler. He’d eye-balled the Steeples and Teepee Mountain from the safety of the valley and then rounded up his buddy Harry and had a second go at Fisher. They’d nip up and down then go for a beer. Harry insisted on taking his old pick-up for that attempt but the rust-bucket had refused to get over a mean-looking bump in Peter the road and so the duo gone for an early beer Warland had or two. Gerry did better the next year with Tommy Dusack, who owned a four-by-four which easily surmounted the obstructions in the road but it still took an amazing amount of time for the duo to get to the marmot basin and there they ran out of steam. Tommy stormed the shale slide but fell over and cracked his knee, and they didn’t get much further that day. Gazing out over Kootenay Lake from

the ferry one day Gerry thought that maybe he could swim across. He did earn a swimming certificate when he was in Junior High and full of testosterone and he had swum across Wasa Lake on a grad dare, but it did look a long way. So he consulted with his friend Hal and Hal had suggested that Moyie might be a better bet. He had a boat up at his cabin on the south lake and he could accompany Gerry in it, and maybe catch a kokanee on the way. So they tried on a quiet mid-week day late in August and Gerry didn’t quite drown. They set off across from the pub and Gerry was convinced he was going to freeze his butt off so swam fast while Hal messed about with his rod and bait. His finger tips and toes thoroughly iced up, Gerry called for his friend to come and get him out of there but Hal couldn’t start the motor and was messing about with his oars and not having much luck so Gerry turned around and headed back to the rescue. Eventually, he got Hal back to safety and ran up and down a trail for a while until he got himself warm enough to struggle to his own pick-up and turn the heater up as far as it would go, then he drove home. That day when the flame of optimism spluttered and died once more, Gerry went looking for fame elsewhere, or he’d make up stuff.

Province grants Baldy Ridge extension at Elkview mine For the Townsman
Issuance of an environmental assessment certificate to Teck Coal Limited for the Baldy Ridge extension project today means greater economic opportunity for southeast British Columbia. The Baldy Ridge project is an extension of the current Teck Elkview operations open-pit coal mine. The project will mine approximately 153 million metric tonnes of clean coal and will extend the overall life of the Elkview mine by about 23 years, until 2045. “The Baldy Ridge expansion project is an important economic development for East Kootenay,” said Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett. “The jobs and business opportunities supported by Teck’s current Elkview operations will be sustained by work expansion to the extension project over
the next three decades after the end of mining in the currently active areas.” The project is expected to create the following employment opportunities: • Approximately 1,652 person-years of direct on-site employment over the six-year construction period. • Approximately
4,043 person-years of total employment in B.C. in the Crowsnest Pass over the six-year construction period. • Approximately 31,304 person-years of direct on-site employment over the 29-year operations period. • Between 10 and 20 direct positions during the closure and reclamation stage.

Luke Pierce may only be in his second season as the head coach of the Kootenay Ice, but he is determined to not let past experience shape his team. After a disappointing end to the preseason this past weekend, where the team lost both their exhibition contests in Crowsnest Pass, AB, Pierce has made it clear that no one’s place is safe, no matter how long they’ve been in the league. “Normally you have everything set [but we’ve still] got five lines of guys up front and nine defencemen, so I can’t tell you who [is on] our opening day lineup yet,” Pierce said. “The competition continues [and] we’ll see how practice goes and put the guys that give us the best chance to win in the lineup on Friday.” While Pierce found some consolation in the team’s 0-5 preseason, saying he was impressed by the resiliency of some the younger players and that, at the very least, it “prevents you from being over confident”, he’s been disappointed with the preparedness of a few of the older players. “We need some of our veteran players to be much better and lead the way,” Pierce said.
“For the most part, our young guys have done a real good job of staying around and hanging in there. I think [that makes the] focus really shift to your veteran players. We’ll see who can establish themselves.” Pierce suggested that while veteran players may not have fully transitioned into ‘season mode’ quite yet, time is running out if they want to make sure they’ll spend the rest of the year in the WHL. “Some of our veteran players need to start finding their groove,” he explained, saying that Jason Wenzel, a defenceman who was released from the team over the weekend after spending 57 games with the Ice last season, “just wasn’t there”. “Some of our younger guys maybe passed [Wenzel]. We need to see some [more players] start to separate.” Although the door is clearly open for new names to rise and old ones to fall before the ink dries on the opening night scorecard, there are a couple players Pierce likely wouldn’t mind putting down in permanent marker. “Payton Lee will start Friday night,” Pierce said confidently on their
goaltending situation. “He’s a 20 year old guy [and] we’re going into a tough building and he’s earned that, there’s no question.”
“We need some of our veteran players to be much better and lead the way.” Luke Pierce The other two [goalies] have played better as of late,” he added, however. “Declan [Hobbs] is the best we’ve seen him since camp started, so that’s encouraging for us. I think again, that competition is going to play into it [and] at the end of the day, the right guy will probably separate a little bit.” The other name that Pierce hinted will likely be on his opening lineup is Zak Zbrovsky, but his position isn’t guaranteed either. Unlike his teammates however, his
conflict is with a higher league. Zbrovsky has been spending the week at the Traverse City Prospects Tournament with the New York Rangers of the NHL and his immediate return to Cranbrook is therefore not guaranteed, although likely. Pierce said he spoke to Zbrovsky after his first game in Traverse City, and hopes that if he is back with the Ice this season, he’ll continue to be the leader he was for them last season “He wasn’t real happy with the way he played [in that first game with the Rangers] so I hope he plays better there and can come back feeling good,” Pierce said. “Even if he struggles a little bit [though], that just adds motivation for him wanting to get off to a real good start [with the Ice].” Although the Ice are in a bit of a lull this week, as far as games go, with preseason over and the regular season not quite here, the stakes have never been higher. The remaining 28 players on this squad still all have a chance to impress during practice to see who will don a Kootenay Ice sweater for the season opener in Calgary, on Friday night.

Others feel compelled to say “yes” to you. Use this moment to push ahead and make progress with a key desire or wish. What appears to be a dream could become a reality, as long as you don’t feed into
any negativity. Tonight: Trust your gut. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Know when to talk and when to listen. Fatigue surrounds a project that seems boring and/ or endless. Take a break, go off and do something that invigorates you. Opt to take some time off. In the long run, this is likely to increase your productivity. Tonight: Do something just for you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be exhausted by all the activity going on around you. You might not know which direction to head in. Perhaps it is time to think about pursuing a long-term desire. Refuse to accept “no” as an answer from a child or loved one. Tonight: Where the action is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to news openly. You might need to spend more money on an item than you originally had anticipated. Use care around a family member who tends to rain on your parade; don’t let his or her attitude get to you. Tonight: Count on being up late.
Tundra
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A new kind of energy emanates from you, and it appears to have positive results. A neighbor or sibling continues to be negative. Ignore this person’s attitude; soon enough, you will elicit a positive reaction from him or her. Tonight: Break past an emotional barrier. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Choose to relate to others on a one-on-one level. Opportunities seem to appear from out of nowhere. Optimism surrounds a relationship and a new beginning. At first, you might be hesitant to express what you need. Don’t hold back. Tonight: Dinner at a cozy spot. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Negativity is likely to throw your ideas and actions into a place where they can easily be sabotaged. Be aware of how you might be jinxing yourself. Allow a friend’s perspective to seep into yours and help you get past this pattern. Tonight: Be flattered by an exciting invitation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Pace yourself, and allow greater give-and-take with those who
are a part of your daily life. Don’t allow a sense of negativity to take over. Understand what you are concerned about. Analyze the pros and cons of this attitude. Tonight: Do what you must first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Allow your creativity to take over. Sometimes being overly realistic and/or grim simply does not work. You can count on a friend becoming more apparent than ever. Let this person know how much you appreciate his or her loyalty. Tonight: Relish the company around you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension soars, especially if you become overly analytical. Others won’t appreciate you pulling apart their dreams or wishes. Trust and belief will carry someone to the finish line. Witness the power of a close friend’s will. Tonight: Stay close to home if you can. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen (1934), actor Bill Murray (1950), author Stephen King (1947)

DEAR ANNIE by Annie Lane
DIRECT CONTACT Dear Annie: My husband is a salesman and is constantly working, regardless of time of day or whether we’re on vacation. He wears a Bluetooth earpiece, so I can never tell whether he is on the phone. And regardless of whether he’s on a phone call, he is always engaged in his email. If I ask him a question, he will usually answer but rarely look up and make eye contact. I worry this sets a bad precedent for our children. I wish he could disconnect and focus on our family when he is home. I’ve read many studies that discuss the importance of engaging directly with children, and I fear that’s he not able to effectively connect. I also am skeptical he’s always working and think he may secretly be listening to music or podcasts, checking fantasy football results, etc. I understand that we all need a distraction on occasion, but it is unacceptable to do this around our kids. And I would appreciate it if he didn’t do this around me. When I ask him to limit his attachment to his phone and email around the kids, he tells me he has to work. Is there a better way for me to approach him? -- Crackberry Wife Dear Crackberry: Let’s start with a silver lining: If your husband is able to spend time with the kids during work, that’s a big plus. Many salesmen travel all week and rarely see their children. Ask your husband to spend 30 or 60 minutes with the children every day, during which he unplugs and connects. He may eat a meal with them, help with homework or play a sport or a board game. You’re correct that children do best with undivided attention, but it’s also great that they can learn from your husband’s work ethic. A lot of time with work and a little time with the kids will go a long way for everyone and still allow your husband to peek at his fantasy football results on occasion. Dear Annie: My sister “Clarabel” lives on the West Coast, and I live in the middle of the heartland about 10 minutes from our mom. My mom and Clarabel go back and forth between getting along and not speaking to each other. The problem is they try to use me as a messenger. When I visit my mom, she’ll go on and on about why she is angry with Clarabel. I tell my mom that I want to spend our time visiting and talking about other things and she needs to talk to Clarabel on her own, that I am not relaying the message. Despite my repeated attempts to change the subject, my mother continues to rant. I cut my visits short. When Clarabel calls, she wants to know what Mom said about her. I tell Clarabel that she needs to call Mom and talk to her. I feel that if I shared what the other says, I’d be adding to the drama and being used. Clarabel gets upset with me and says I should tell her. Annie, am I wrong for wanting to stay out of their fights? -- In the Middle Dear Middle: You are so smart to stay out of the middle of their fights, and they shouldn’t be trying to put you there in the first place. Point out to your mom that because of her ranting and complaining about your sister, you are cutting your visits short. Say that in effect, she is distancing herself from both of her children. No one wants to be around someone who is complaining about another person, especially when it comes to loved ones. Point out to them that the constant fighting is taking a toll on you and your whole family as a unit. If they keep up their kvetching, at least try to distance yourself emotionally from it so it doesn’t bring you down. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Open fires to be permitted in parts of southeast B.C. CASTLEGAR - Effective at noon PDT on Sept. 20, 2016, Category 2 open fires will once again be permitted throughout the Southeast Fire Centre, due to a decreased risk of wildfire in the region. At the same time, Category 3 open fires will once again be permitted in the Columbia Fire Zone. However, Category 3 open fires will remain prohibited in the Arrow Fire Zone, Boundary Fire Zone, Cranbrook Fire Zone, Invermere Fire Zone and Kootenay Lake Fire Zone. Category 2 burning allows for up to two concurrently burning piles no larger than two metres high by three metres wide, or the burning of stubble or grass over an area of less than 0.2 hectares. Category 2 open burning also allows for the use of fireworks, burn barrels, exploding binary targets and sky lanterns. Category 3 open fires include: • fires that are larger than two metres high by three metres wide • the burning of stubble or grass over an area greater than 0.2 hectares • the burning of three or more fires concurrently (with individual burn piles no larger than two metres high by three metres wide) • one or more burning windrows Anyone wishing to light a Category 3 open fire must obtain a burn registration number ahead of time by calling 1 888 797-1717 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. To learn more about open burning categories, fire bans and fire restrictions, please visit: www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/safety/wildfire-status/fire-bans-and-restrictions The BC Wildfire Service is asking people to take the following precautions with any permitted outdoor burning: • Ensure that enough people, water and tools are on hand to control the fire and to prevent it escaping. • Do not burn in windy conditions. The weather can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires. • Create a fireguard around the planned fire site by clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material. • Never leave a fire unattended. • Make sure that your fire is fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before you leave the area for any length of time.

Gord Bamford taking the stage at Key City Theatre Submit ted
Gord Bamford’s seventh studio album “Tin Roof” was the winner of one of Canada’s most coveted awards recently, that being, Country Album of the Year. The album “Tin Roof” follows the Juno Nominated “Country Junkie” album and its #1 Billboard hit song, “When your Lips are so Close.” Other memorable Bamford hits include, the very catchy “Breakfast Beer”, “Postcard From Pasadena”, “Is it Friday Yet?”, “Leaning on a
Gord Bamford Lonesome Song”, Drinkin’ Buddy”, and “Must be a Woman”. Bamford stands as one of the most decorated artists in Canadian country music with an
impressive 24 CCMA awards to his credit, multi Juno nominations, and the only two time winner in Canada, of the CMA Global Country Artist award. It’s Bamford’s distinctive sound and songwriting ability though that really defines him as one of country music’s best neotraditional artists, and like so many others that have come before him, Bamford is not an overnight success. He has spent the better part of the last 20 years honing his craft,
Province doles out Fernie tourism funding For the Townsman
As B.C. experiences some of its strongest tourism growth in years, with a record number of international visitors during the first half of the year, Fernie is receiving $303,127 from the Province’s Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) to support its tourism industry. “RMI funding plays an important role in supporting communities like Fernie as they welcome visitors from throughout our country and around the world,” said Bill Bennett, Koote-
nay-East MLA. “I’m glad to see the continuation of the RMI program this year as we are seeing more and more tourists frequenting the Elk Valley.” Through the Province’s RMI, Fernie has received a total of $3,140,650 since 2009 in funding toward projects including (but not limited to): recreation trail development, cultural and heritage tourism events and festivals, museum and information centre improvements, downtown beatification, boat launch reconstruction, visitor signage and a winter ski shuttle.
working to get where he is today. His humble, likable approach is what continues to draw legions of both new and old fans to his concerts. But it’s his music that keeps them loyal. Gord
Bamford has the amazing ability to evolve, sense where his fans want to go, and take us all along with him. Bamford brings his B.C. fall tour to Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre
on November 16 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available now at the Key City Theatre box office, or by calling 250-426-7006, or online at www.key citytheatre.com. All seats are reserved and priced at
$45 all inclusive. Gord Bamford Live in Concert on November 16 is a presentation of the Kootenay Concert Connection in association with B104.7, and the Key City Theatre.
