TREVOR CRAWLEY The City of Cranbrook is mov-
ing forward with a plan to bor-row $10 million for the 2017 Cap-ital Road Program and it is now in the province’s hands to ap-prove the process.
Council gave third reading to the 2017 Capital Roads Program Loan Authorization Bylaw No.
3862 on Monday night, which was initiated under an Alterna-tive Approval Process (AAP).
The AAP process is laid out in the province’s Community Char-ter and can only be adopted with the approval of the electors or through a full referendum. Once the province rubber-stamps the bylaw, electors will have a chance
to provide feedback to City Hall. Following approval from the
B.C. Inspector of Municipalities, the city must receive less than 10 per cent of Elector Response forms that are opposed to coun-cil borrowing the money for the proposal to proceed.

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Council passed third reading
of a seasonal patio bylaw on Monday night as a few council-lors expressed a sense of urgency as summer has already arrived.
City planner Rob Veg led council through some amend-ments and updates on the bylaw based on public feedback since it
last came up in council cham-bers.
Councillors Tom Shypitka, Ron Popoff and Isaac Hockley led the charge in pushing to get the bylaw passed so that local businesses could start setting up patios for the summer season.
However, while third reading was passed, it won’t be adopted
until the next council meeting on July 18th.
“My worst nightmare right now with this is nobody jumping on board because summer’s half over, why should I go through all the hoops just for a month or two,” said Shypitka.

T R E VO R C R AW L E YLocal Conservatives got a visit
from a Canadian ski racing and polit-ical icon as Senator Nancy Greene-Raine was in Cranbrook to hear any concerns and lend her voice to any issues brought forward.
Greene-Raine has been a Conser-vative senator since her appointment in 2009, but is perhaps more famous-ly known for her athletic career as a downhill ski racer, where she cap-tured three Olympic medals and two World Championship medals in 1968.
“When I was named to the Senate, I chose Thompson-Okanagan-Koo-tenay as my designated area and I don’t get over to the East Kootenay that much — I get to the West Koote-nay because I have two brothers liv-ing there,” Greene-Raine said.
“So I just jumped at the opportu-nity and knowing some of the people in the Conservative group here, I called them up and said, ‘Lets have a coffee’.
“It was really fun, it’s been good to connect a bit and I’m really listening to what the issues are and how things are going here.”

F O R T H E TO W N S M A NTwenty years ago
eight grassroots organi-zations in the East Koo-tenay and Upper Co-lumbia Valley joined forces to initiate a ground-breaking pro-gram aimed at restoring grassland and open for-est ecosystems in the southern Rocky Moun-tain Trench.
The coalition of hunters, ranchers, nat-uralists and environ-mentalists recognized that an ecosystem res-toration program with a broad base of support was vital to sustain the region’s exceptionally rich diversity of plants and animals, and the people who depend on them.
Today the Rocky Mountain Trench Natu-ral Resources Society – Trench Society for short – has 11 member orga-nizations representing more than 4,000 people from Golden to Gras-mere: Cranbrook Ar-chery Club, Cranbrook Community Forest So-ciety, East Kootenay In-vasive Species Council, East Kootenay Wildlife Association, Kootenay Livestock Association, Rocky Mountain Natu-ralists, Southern Guides & Outfitters, The Land Conservancy, Waldo Stockbreeders, Wild-sight and Windermere District Farmers Insti-tute.
The society has sponsored a wide range of restoration initiatives since 1996 and is a key participant in the Rocky Mountain Trench Eco-

system Restoration Pro-gram, itself a partner-ship of more than 20 agencies restoring grasslands and open forests on Crown land,
provincial and national parks, conservation properties and First Na-tions reserves. The pro-gram has become the model for similar ven-
tures throughout BC. “The Trench Soci-
ety’s achievements over the past 20 years are re-markable,” said Chair Robyn Duncan, who
represents Wildsight on the society’s board. “The diversity of part-ners at the table is the key to our success.
“A common concern
for healthy ecosystems brought us together and the ongoing need for restoration keeps us going.”
Directors, staff and
guests celebrated the 20th anniversary with a field tour of recent res-toration projects at the Wycliffe wildlife corri-dor between Cran-brook and Kimberley and in the Lakit-Brew-ery Ridge area east of Fort Steele.
Partners in the res-toration program have so far returned more than 20,000 hectares (50,000 acres) to histor-ical grassland and open forest condition by re-moving dense forest in-growth, and often fol-lowing up with pre-scribed burning.
These restoration treatments produce a multitude of benefits: healthier and more productive native plant communities, better grazing for domestic livestock and wild un-gulates, habitat for many at-risk species, forests less susceptible to disease and insect attack, reduced forest fuels and lower wildfire hazard, and ecosys-tems that are more re-silient to a changing climate.
Significant funders since the restoration program began in 1998 include the BC and fed-eral governments, Co-lumbia Basin Trust, First Nations Emergen-cy Services Society, Fish and Wildlife Com-pensation Program and Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation.

“I want to get as many people get on board with this, this summer, as we possibly can so we can see what the problems are, be-cause this is our best chance right now. This year’s kind of a write-off, so this is a perfect opportunity to troubleshoot what the problems may be, make it wide open, then we can ad-dress it and fine-tune it for next year.”
However, now that third
reading is passed, business owners interested in setting up a seasonal patio can stop by City Hall and get their hands on the draft bylaw and application form outlining all the pertinent details to get started on the construction of an outdoor patio, if they wish.
When the bylaw is ap-proved on July 18, any pati-os that meet the city’s re-quirements will be legal.
“The draft application
form is 99 per cent fin-ished,” said Veg. “The patio guide is 99 per cent fin-ished. People can certainly come in to see us now and get everything they need if we’re not going to make any more changes to the bylaw to be ready for that timeline as well.
“There’s time that they can come in and see us and I can give them the draft guide which lays out the bylaw and those kind of things.”
The bylaw was tweaked from when it last came to council with some changes to the fee structure and the application forms.
Amendments include a reduction in the parking stall fee to $50 for each par-allel spot or angle parking spot and rise to $300 in 2018 and beyond.
The application will be a $50 up-front fee with a $25 renewal fee. Shypitka pushed for waiving those fees for the first year, along
with the waiving of a $500 security deposit, however, the fee structure will stand.
The seasonal patio form will be a single form as op-posed to two, as business owners were previously re-quired to fill out a building permit. The single form will have a box that, once checked, will trigger the in-volvement of a building in-spector.
May 1 - Oct 31 is the win-dow for a seasonal patio that will be a permanent
structure over that time frame; businesses with smaller bistro tables that are removed from the side-walks daily can go right to Dec. 31 if they wish.
If any business wished to barbecue on their out-door patio, letters of ap-proval from adjacent busi-ness owners must be ob-tained, provincial regulato-ry conditions must be met and proper fire safety pro-cedures must be followed.

COLOURFUL SPRING HONDA FUN RUN RAISES $14,000 FOR ALS: The Spring Honda Fun Run splashed their event with colour this year and the results were tremendous! With the support of every runner, walker, volunteer and generous community sponsors, the annual event, held Sunday, June 4, raised $14,000 for the BC ALS Society. The organizing team expressed gratitude for the amazing turnout — this year more than 500 Fun Runners came out to Moir Park in Cranbrook to take part. Over the last six years the organizing team made up of Rhiannon Chippett, Charlotte Spring, Christie Kennedy and Tegan Bova, as well as major support from Dave & Corey Spring, as title sponsor Spring Honda, have been proud to donate over $40,000 to the BC ALS Society. That grand total is well over $50,000! “We couldn’t hold this event without the support of our amazing community and sponsors, and so happy that everyone had so much fun and can’t wait to colour up Cranbrook again next year!”
Greene-Raine was born in Ottawa, but moved to Rossland when she was three years old and began competitive ski racing at a young age, going on to become Can-ada’s most decorated ski racer in history.
Including athletic ac-colades such as her Olympic and World Cup success, Greene-Raine has also been named to the Order of Canada, Canada’s Walk of Fame and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal.
The Senate consists of 105 members appointed by the Governor General after consultation with the Prime Minister. Greene-Raine sits as one of 42 Conservative Sena-tors, while 23 are non-af-filiated and 21 are for-merly Liberal, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau removed them from cau-cus. As it stands now, there are also 19 vacant seats.
Echoing the words of Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, Greene-Raine calls the Senate a house of ‘sober second thought.’
“A lot of the people don’t understand the Senate,” Greene-Raine said. “Our government was formed in the very beginning by the coming together of different re-gions in the country and the relationship between the Senate and the House of Commons was ham-mered out and has been a part of our constitution since the beginning.”
However, the Senate has been in the national news lately, mostly be-cause to the expense scandals of Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin. Even during the federal elec-tion last fall, the Senate was on the party plat-forms, as the Conserva-tives pushed for electoral terms while the NDP wanted to abolish the body.
Greene-Raine admits that she used to be in support of electoral re-forms for senators, how-ever, in order for that to happen, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Constitution would have to be amended, meaning that at least seven provinces must have 50 per cent approval
to make any changes.That scenario isn’t
likely, said Greene-Raine. “I don’t see the Senate
changing, but I want to see the Senate to be more effective,” she said. “We’ve been working very hard since the expense scandal, which in my view, was a bit of a tem-pest in a teapot probably because the two people who were being attacked were from the media and they became the whip-ping post.”
Even though, Greene-Raine sees relevance with the Senate in it’s role and relationship with the House of Commons.
“They’re very differ-ent,” Greene-Raine said. “The House of Commons is where you’re repre-sented by population, the Senate is really a cham-ber of review and of tak-ing a longer-term view, because we’re not elect-ed, we don’t face elec-tion, we’re not responsi-ble to our electorate but we are responsible. I’d say 99 per cent of the sena-tors who have been ap-pointed take very seri-ously the role that we have, so we look at our role as complementary
but not the way, for in-stance in the US system, they have the House of Representatives and the Senate and they are at loggerheads, because the Senate can defeat legisla-tion.
“Our role is to look at the legislation, see if there’s any unintended consequences and make amendments or recom-mendations for amend-ments and send it back to the House of Commons for further review.”
Growing up in a rural area like Rossland, Greene-Raines adds that with the House of Com-mons being a governing body represented by pop-ulation — and with popu-lation growing mainly in the cities — the Senate can be a place to advo-cate for minority rights or rural issues.
“The rural parts of Canada, the ridings are huge and the representa-tion is still based on rep-resentation by popula-tion, but I think in the Senate, we can reflect and look at issues as they im-pact the rural areas of Canada,” Greene-Raine said.
If the city receives more than 10 per cent of elector forms that oppose the borrowing action, then Council may not proceed.
“If ever there is to be any gain made on our roads and our water, storm sewer and sanitary sewer infrastructure in town, the timing is perfect,” said Mayor Lee Pratt. “Interest rates are low; now is the time to act.”
The $10 million figure is de-rived from this past winter’s bud-get process, as council approved an expanded roads program for 2017 that would include replacing underlying water and sewer infra-structure.
City staff is using a series of water, storm, sanitary sewer and road priority plans and the city’s Integrated Infrastructure Capital Plan (IICP) to decide the which roads get replaced first.
The $10 million to be bor-rowed would be on top of the $4.1 million already budgeted for road work.
“The reality of the situation is that a lot of our roads and the un-derground services are 50 years old or more and they have simply worn out and must be replaced,” said Pratt. “The longer we delay, the more it is eventually going to cost. Ignoring this problem has not helped and we must formu-late a plan to replace it. This is the first step of a new approach to rectifying this situation and it
must be implemented sooner than later.”
According to numbers re-leased from the city, the tax hit would be relatively minimal.
For residential, there would be a $10 increase for general munic-ipal property tax per $100,000 of assessed value. For business, that would be a $27 increase.
Water parcel tax and sewer parcel tax — both based on a lot with 15.25 metres of taxable front-age — would increase $15 for both residential and business.
“I hope the citizens of Cran-brook approve of this borrowing,” said Pratt. “Paying a small in-crease in taxes now pales in com-parison to the alternative. If we continue to do nothing, future taxes required to fix this problem will become burdensome to some home and business owners.”
City staff is hoping to have the provincial approval for the bylaw by the middle of August. Once that comes through, the public will be able to have the chance to see an information package and state their opposition, if that’s their position, through an elector-al response form.
Staff is also in the process of creating an online tool that will allow home and business owners to understand the impact that the borrowing will have on taxes based on their assessed property value.

Over the past 15 years, the Province has invested over $60 million to strengthen regional health services, including new ICU, new ER, new Diagnostics Centre, new Ambulatory Care Centre, new electrical infrastructure, new Admitting Centre.
In 2000, MacLean’s Magazine featured our regional hospital as an example of bad rural healthcare. Today, EKRH is a model of excellence in rural healthcare in BC and across Canada, not perfect but vastly improved.

For the townsmanCollege of the Rock-
ies received some wel-come news on Thurs-day, June 24 when Pre-mier Christie Clark an-nounced at the Cran-brook Chamber of Commerce lunch that the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program will be held in its entirety at the College’s Cranbrook campus.
“This is a terrific op-portunity for the Col-lege, our students and our region,” says Dean of Health and Human Services Heather Hep-worth. “Not only can our students remain in the East Kootenays to complete their entire program but we can re-tain our graduates for employment in health care in the region.”
College of the Rock-ies has been educating nurses for over 20 years and has been in part-nership with the Uni-versity of Victoria since September 2005. Cur-rently, students in the Nursing program com-

plete their first five se-mesters at College of the Rockies before transfer-ring to University of Vic-toria to complete the final three semesters.
College of the Rock-ies and University of Victoria are working to-gether to ensure a smooth transition of the entire four-years of the Nursing program to the
College. Students going into first or second year of the program in Sep-tember will be able to complete the entire pro-gram in Cranbrook.
The health sector is one of the largest and fastest growing in Brit-ish Columbia. The high demand for nurses translates into a high demand for nursing ed-
ucation. College of the Rockies regularly has an extensive waiting list for their 32 seats available each September.

Results are mixed from the first year after the B.C. government raised speed limits on 33 sections of rural highway, with average traffic speed and seri-ous collisions up in seven sections.
Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone re-leased traffic and acci-dent analysis of the first year of operation Tues-day, saying more data are needed to under-stand the changes in traffic behaviour and accidents. Increased speed limits will con-tinue in most areas, in-cluding on the Coqui-halla, Okanagan Con-nector and between Parksville and Camp-bell River where B.C.’s first 120 km/h speed limits are in place.
Stone cited the Co-quihalla as an example of different factors at play. Between Hope and Kamloops, where
the limit went from 110 km/h to 120 in Novem-ber 2014, the crash rate remains at the lowest rate in the past 10 years.
Speed limits are being lowered on two sections of highway, where engineers have determined other safe-ty measures such as passing lanes or rum-ble strips aren’t likely to be successful. Those are Highway 1 from Hope to Boston Bar, rolled back from 100 to 90 km/h, and Highway 5A from Aspen Grove to Princeton, being low-ered from 90 to 80 km/h.
Increased speed limits remain in place on the Sea to Sky High-way from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish (80 to 90 km/h), and Revel-stoke to Golden (90 to 100 km/h).
Raw data from the ministry show spikes in accidents on certain days, such as when there is heavy snow on
the Coquihalla or the Fraser Canyon. In some places, like Highway 99 north of Whistler, aver-age traffic speed actu-ally fell after the posted speed limit was in-creased.
Ministry data show a long-term decline in serious crashes across provincial highways over the past decade, but a nine per cent in-crease in the 2014-15 year that was studied. That increase shows up whether speed limits were changed or not, and has also been re-flected in increasing ICBC rates.
Stone noted that while highway and ve-hicle safety improve-ments have declined around North America in recent decades, B.C. has seen the same jump in accidents. Contributing factors in-clude driver inatten-tiveness and driving too fast for weather conditions.
“Our program in-takes for the 2016 and 2017 Fall semesters are full so we are not cur-rently taking applica-tions at this time,” ex-plains Hepworth. “This is a great opportunity for those interested in taking the nursing pro-gram to ensure they have all the prerequi-sites necessary or to take some of the non-nursing courses re-quired in the program. We will begin accepting applications for Fall 2018 on November 1, 2017.”
A one-time grant of $450,000 over three years is being provided by the Ministry of Ad-vanced Education for the planning and transi-tion required to move the entire program to College of the Rockies.
The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program will now be held in its entirety at the College of the Rockies’ Cranbrook campus.

“There is nothing wrong with having nothing to say unless one insistson publishing it.”
Anonymous.
A ny reporter of consequence would do his very best to find out all the facts but I am not a reporter nor
am I avid, so I won’t even attempt to dis-cuss the origins of Cranbrook’s Communi-ty Forest; I’d be faking it.
However the forest as such has been there since the beginning of time and since some bright person or persons had the bright idea of keeping the ravenous hands of real estate folk off it and making it a park. I, even in my dotage, still regularly totter on my feet or wobble on my bicycle up that way for a breath of fresh air and a constitutional, whatever that is.
People are always up that way for con-stitutionals and will probably continue to do so until the government finds a way of taxing such constitutionals, or banning them.
Because of my great age and probably my senility, I have been thoroughly lost in that region and, when lost, met some in-teresting folk who didn’t seem at the time to realize that they too were lost.
One day, I ventured with a good but totally-inadequate-as-a-guide friend into
the forest by way of the college recycling area, although we were not cycling that time. That is not an entry that I would recommend and so that is probably why we didn’t come out that way. Well! I don’t think we did. Our pick-up wasn’t waiting patiently for us at our point of exodus. The young fellow who finally directed us back towards the city didn’t call us dod-dering old fools to our withered faces probably because both of us had at one time taught him at Mount Baker School
of Geography and Cartog-raphy. He never did both-er to tell us why our vehi-cle wasn’t where we’d left it many weary hours earli-er.
That area used to be known to us as The Alka-lies, those swampy pools
where more adventurous youth used to drive and get thoroughly stuck. I recall a Chevvy truck standing in the middle of one pool with a fair naiad sitting in it looking thoroughly unhappy. After a yelled conversation with her, we discov-ered that her driver had gone for help and was now driving around the country-side with someone else looking for an even longer tow cable. She used some words — probably technical — that I didn’t know.
When that legendary indigenous per-son was asked aeons ago if he was lost he replied, according to the legend, “No. My
teepee’s lost.” N.B. In the original tale it was a wigwam. Well, the second time that my friend and I got turned around up there behind the alkalies it was my pick-up that became confused and got its silly self misplaced, and I do wish folk would stop telling me that they’d recently seen that red Nissan looking for me. That is ri-diculous; after that awful episode I had it shot like a sick dog.
Every day you can see healthy dogs escorting their humans though the dan-gerous wilderness around the alkalies. Where once wolves and coyotes roamed dogs now hold sway. In fact, at one time, I was sure that it was compulsory in the community forest for humans to be es-corted by at least one domesticated ca-nine quadruped.
One can’t blame dogs but the trails that have grown up there in the commu-nist forest are extremely confusing. Juni-per Lane, for example, goes absolutely nowhere near the bowling alley of that name, I discovered, and a person can travel in a straight line for kilometers and keep crossing Loggers’ Lane. Up near Big Tree one confused person once told me that he had no idea where he was and asked if I could direct him back to Wasa where he’d started on the lake circuit.
But the Community Forest was a very good idea and somebody ought to be con-gratulated about it. I’d take on the task myself but I’d probably get turned around on the way and I no longer have a dog.
A very ingenious bright idea

The Russians are coming!Kootenay Ice make big splash, select highly-touted forward Klim Kostin, bruising defenceman Nikita Radzivilyuk at import draft
MINAS PANAGIOTAKAS PHOTO/IIHF IMAGES
Russian captain Klim Kostin (#24) fends off a Finnish opponent during the 2016 U18 World Championships. Kostin was selected by the Kootenay Ice with the first-overall pick at the 2016 CHL Import Draft on Tuesday.
TAYLOR ROCC ASports Editor
The Russians are coming!
At least that’s what Jeff Chynoweth, presi-dent and general man-ager of the Kootenay Ice, is hoping.
Chynoweth and the Ice held the first-overall pick at the 2016 CHL Im-port Draft, which took place via conference call Tuesday morning.
With the top pick at the annual international refresh, Chynoweth se-lected elite Russian prospect Klim Kostin, a 17-year-old forward who captained his na-tion’s entries at the 2015 World U17 Hockey Challenge and 2016 U18 Hockey Championship.
Kostin — standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 183 pounds — is eligible for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and widely pro-jected as a preliminary name to look for in the first round.
In addition to Kostin, Chynoweth selected an-other Russian, Nikita Radzivilyuk — a bruis-ing, 6-foot-3, 187-pound blue-liner — with the 61st pick at the top of the second round.
“It’s a tough draft, make no bones about it. It’s not a level playing field,” Chynoweth said.
“It’s very difficult to se-lect players, unfortu-nately. You’ve got to work with agents you trust and that you’ve had a rapport with over time. If you don’t, it makes it even more difficult.
“Everyone I talk to raves about [Kostin’s] potential. He’s a big man and growing. He has leadership qualities and possesses an offen-sive upside — all the things NHL teams look for in a big forward.”
Kostin has already caught the eye of the many pro scouts in North America, with TSN’s Craig Button list-ing the native of Penza, Russia, as one of his pre-liminary ‘17 in 2017’ names to watch for next year’s NHL Entry Draft.
“Powerful winger who can beat defenders one-on-one with skill, but also drives the net and attacks to scoring areas with real determi-nation,” Button wrote of Kostin. “Smart and not one-dimensional and
can make a play off the wing and because he’s a threat to drive past a de-fender, he can take ad-vantage of ice if they back off. Very good speed, quickness and balance and is very diffi-cult to knock awry.”
While the selection of Kostin is worthy of ex-citement for Kootenay Ice fans, temperament of expectations is advised.
Chynoweth expects Kostin will report to Cranbrook and suit up for the Kootenay Ice for the 2016-17 Western Hockey League season, but as he reiterates after each and every import draft, nothing is guaran-teed until you see a player walk through the door for training camp.
“We’ve heard that he will [report], but again, until you see the whites of their eyes, we don’t really believe anything,” Chynoweth said. “It’s definitely not a slam dunk. But I do think, from all reports from the people we’ve talked to, he will be coming over.
“We think there’s a good chance, but there’s no guarantee [he re-ports].
“He’s a world-class player and if he comes, he makes our team bet-ter immediately.”
Key in Chynoweth’s
selection of Kostin is the fact the young Russian is represented by the same player agency that helped bring a former Kootenay Ice fan favour-ite to Cranbrook.
Rinat Valiev — a 2014 third-round pick of the Toronto Maple Leafs — is represented by the same agency now repre-senting both Kostin and Radzivilyuk.
Valiev came to North
America in 2012-13, first suiting up for the Indi-ana Ice of the United States Hockey League, before being selected by the WHL’s Kootenay Ice at the 2013 CHL Import Draft. The native of Nizhnekamsk, Russia, promptly came north of the border and went on to be one of the most exciting defencemen to suit up for the Kootenay Ice in recent history,
amassing 74 points in 107 career games in Cranbrook.
While the jury re-mains out on Kostin, there are fewer doubts in regards to Radzivily-uk’s intent to report to Cranbrook.
“Guaranteed 100 per cent,” Chynoweth said of Radzivilyuk. “He will be here for sure.
“There’s potential there. He brings a physi-cal presence and he’s 6-foot-3 already. He likes to play physical, but his
offensive side should im-prove as he matures.”
The addition of Radzivilyuk gives the Ice a second 1999-born de-fenceman, helping boost the organizational depth in that particular age group. Sam Huston (2014, ninth round — 198th) is the other 1999-born defenceman on the depth chart after 2014 first-round pick Griffin Mendel opted to take the NCAA route via the Uni-versity of Denver.

Kostin spent the 2015-16 campaign with HC MVD Balashikha of the Russian Junior Hock-ey League (MHL). In 30 games, the skilled for-ward registered eight goals and 21 assists, good for 29 points along-side 74 penalty minutes.
He also added two goals and five points in six games at the U17 Challenge, before post-ing four assists in five games at the U18 World Championship.
Radzivilyuk, who is also eligible for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, spent the 2015-16 season with Tyumenski Legion U17 where he collected three goals and eight assists for 11 points in 26 games.
“Unfortunately, we’ve got a lot of holes on our team,” Chynoweth said. “We couldn’t have gone wrong if we selected two forwards or two defence-
men. We need help. These are just some more building blocks that we will need moving forward.
“Obviously we’re happy, but until we see them both arrive here in August then maybe we can get a little more ex-cited.”
All 60 of the CHL’s member clubs were eli-gible to participate in the 2016 CHL Import Draft, though a handful opted to pass on selec-tions in favour of retain-ing import players al-ready on their roster.
The Ice selected for-ward Roman Dymacek (Czech Republic) and defenceman Mario Grman (Slovakia) at the 2015 import draft, but released both following the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, opening up space for both Kostin and Radzivilyuk.

Short-handed Bandits strikeout at Big Bucks tourney
TAYLOR ROCCA PHOTO
Bandits first baseman Linden Meggison slugs away during American Legion Baseball action at Confederation Park in Cranbrook earlier this season.
TAYLOR ROCC ASports Editor
A short-handed Cranbrook Bandits squad battled, but ulti-mately came up short this past weekend at the Big Bucks Tournament in Libby, Mont.
The Bandits, without the services of a number of veteran players due to graduation ceremonies ongoing in both Cran-brook and Kimberley, took a young crew, in-cluding practice roster players, south of the border for the Libby Loggers’ Big Bucks Tournament.
Opening the tourna-ment Friday, the Ban-dits fell 14-6 to the Coeur d’Alene Lumber-men, before dropping a 9-1 decision to the Tri-County Cardinals Saturday morning.
A Saturday afternoon mat-inee saw the Bandits shot down 10-1 by the Lewiston Cubs.
Having dropped three games in round-robin action, the Bandits faced the Strath-more Reds on champi-onship Sunday, finish-ing the weekend with a 6-5 defeat.
The weekend results
dropped the Bandits to 12-13-0 on the season.
Next up on the calen-dar is a home double-header with the Mission Valley Mariners, with
first pitch set to go at 1 p.m. at Confederation Park.
The back end of the dou-bleheader will
go at approximately 4 p.m.
Canada Day long weekend with take the Bandits south of the border for tournament play in Polson, Mont., hosted by the Mariners.

Keep Our Roads SafeSCHOOL’S OUT - keep kids safe on our roads this summer, ICBC urges
drivers and parents
Now that it’s offi cially summer and B.C. schools are heading into summer break, drivers should expect even more children playing outside. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids so it’s important to pay extra attention when you’re driving, especially around playgrounds and residential areas and for parents to go over the rules of the road with their children.
On average, 153 child pedestrians (aged fi ve to 15) are injured in crashes each year in B.C.*
• SLOW DOWN: With more children playing outside in the summer, be cautious and watch your speed, especially near playgrounds, parks and in residential areas. Playground speed limits remain in effect year-round.
• WATCH FOR CLUES: In residential areas, a hockey net or ball can mean that kids are playing nearby. Remember that a child could dash into the street at any moment.
Pay attention and always anticipate the unexpected.
• WATCH FOR CYCLISTS: Actively watch for cyclists on the road who might be harder to see. Make eye contact with them whenever possible to let them know you have seen them. Shoulder check for cyclists before turning right and watch for oncoming cyclists before turning left.
• FOCUS ON THE BASICS: Go over these important road safety tips with your children – even older children need to be reminded about road safety.
• SET A GOOD EXAMPLE: Never jaywalk or run across the street. Where possible, cross at intersections with a pedestrian crossing light or marked crossing.
• PARKED VEHICLES: Encourage your children to avoid shortcuts through parking lots or around parked cars where it’s harder for drivers to see small children.
• SAFE DRIVING WITH CHILDREN: Relatives, friends’ parents, and other caregivers often transport children in the summer. The law requires children be secured in car seats or booster seats until they are four feet nine inches tall or at least nine years old. Make sure your children’s seats or boosters goes with them if they might travel without you by car.
• CYCLING 101: Cyclist injuries from crashes with vehicles peak in July and August. It’s never too early to teach your children safe cycling behaviour – it could help make it second-nature to them when they’re older. Start by covering these basics:
• Cycle in a straight line, avoid weaving and try to be as predictable as possible.• When sharing a path with pedestrians, ride on the right hand side for everyone’s safety. Use a bell
or horn to alert others when you plan to pass.• When turning, shoulder check well in advance, hand signal and then with both hands on the
handle bars, shoulder check again before turning. • Make sure children wear approved helmets that meet safety standards every time they ride their
bikes and periodically inspect them for signs of wear.

1905Bad wreck … Last Monday morn-
ing the east bound passenger train with Conductor Corey in charge ran into a rock slide four miles east of Frank. The engine, mail and baggage cars were derailed and wrecked but none of the passenger coaches or passengers were injured. George Grant, the fireman, was pinned down under the engine by one hand being caught, and before he could be rescued he was badly scalded by es-caping steam. J. H. Caslake, the engi-neer, was thrown from the cab win-dow as the engine went over and lighted on his feet in the bush with-out the slightest injury. The train did not reach Cranbrook until one o’clock next morning. Mr. Caslake came down as a passenger Mr. Grant was taken to the hospital at Frank where everything possible was done for him, but he died about 2 o’clock the following morning. In Cran-brook, where the deceased had so many friends, the news of the acci-
dent, and his death, gave rise to an intense feeling of sorrow. The re-mains were sent back to Wolseley, Assa., where his people reside.
New safe … W. F. Tate & Son in-stalled their big, new safe yesterday. It weighs over 4,000 pounds, and is both burglar and fire proof, or as much so as is possible for modern science in safe making can do in that direction. The firm had a large safe before, but with the increase in their stock, and more especially the great increase in the watch repairing busi-ness, it became necessary to provide more sale room for the protection of their patrons. This safe is one of the best made and will hold forty trays of watches and jewelry. The man who leaves a watch with this firm can rest assured that not only will the watch be repaired in a workmanlike man-ner, but that it will be kept safely at night. These two points are import-ant to people, for they neither want their watch spoiled nor stolen. The big safe is another milestone in the progress of Tate & Son, and is mate-rial evidence of the fact that their business is rapidly growing and the growth is based on the best of foun-dations, absolute merit.
Hose team … The members of the fire brigade who will make up the team in the hose race at Moyie on the first are practicing nearly every evening and are doing some good work. They started out making the run in about 39 seconds, and have cut the time down four or five seconds by hard practice. The great trouble is due to the fact that it is hard to get the same crowd out each night, but yet they will endeavor to make as good a showing as possible for the team.
Ouches x 2! … J. Pruden, en-gineer at North Star mill, caught one of the fingers on his left hand yesterday while at work on some machinery and had the end knocked off. He hurried to town and had it attended to and the fact that no time was lost may enable him to save the in-jured member. J. G. MaCallum met with a severe accident this morning. A broad axe fell off the counter and the blade struck his right foot cutting a bad gash, but fortunately not causing a per-manent injury.
School concert … The school concert given last Friday eve-ning at Wentworth hall was a great success in every way and a great credit to the teachers who had the entertainment in charge. Mrs. Brock, who was the promoter of the movement, worked like a Trojan, and was ably assisted by Miss Lewis and Miss McVicer, The pupils did their work nicely and some of the numbers were especially fine. These school concerts are an excellent thing for the chil-dren as they tend to give pupils confidence in self in public, and that is as much part of educa-tion as studying lessons from the books.
Five hold-ups … Five daring robberies and hold-ups have occurred in Fernie during the week. The first took place at about four o’clock on Monday morning at the Fernie hotel. Three masked men entered the hotel and as the night porter, E. Haynes, came up from stoking the furnace he was confronted with a pistol. He was relieved of all the money on his person, about $17. He was then tied to a chair with towels and after rob-bing the till of its contents, amounting to $20, the robbers departed. The porter says he called immediately but consid-erable time elapsed before he attracted attention. The de-scription given by the porter is very vague. They were masked and wore green goggles. One wore long laced boots and was a tall heavy man and addressed one of his companions as Dan, A lady a few blocks down the street says she saw two masked men at that hour talking on the street. They either were colored men or wore gloves and their faces were masked. The porter says the parties were white men. On the following night three
It happened this week in CranbrookFor the Week Of June 26 – July 2
robberies occurred, all exactly in the same manner, W. J. Blun-dell’s store was entered by the outside cellar, entrance and thence up the inside cellar steps. The till was robbed of $4.50 in five and ten cent pieces. Mr. Blundell believes that none of his goods in the store were touched. The King’s hotel was entered in the same manner and $15 was taken from the till, R. Moore was awakened by the closing of a door at five o’clock, but thinking it was, one of the boys he paid no attention to it. It was the thieves going out the side entrance. The Union hotel in the Old town was “touched” in the same manner. The rob-bers got up the cellar way and departed through the door. They got about $8 out of Simon Drag-on’s till. Again this morning, Leslie Mills of the Central hotel reports that an attempt was made to hold his house up at 4 o’clock this morning. He was on duty himself, and being some-what suspicious of trouble he had a rifle standing behind the bar. Two masked men entered the front door and demanded his money, but Mr. Mills grabbed for his gun and the uninvited guests needed no further hint to make a hasty retreat. It is a sig-nificant fact that these depreda-tions have all been done during the early hours of the morning after two o’clock at which hour the night policeman goes off duty. Yesterday and last night a general round-up of undesirable characters was made by the po-lice and the result is that this morning a docket of thirteen cases confronted the magistrate. It is more than likely that among these are some who know more than they should of the whole-sale robberies that have taken place in the city this week.
Housing boom! … Parties digging a cellar on Baker Hill used dynamite for blasting pur-poses and at night the caps were not put away as they should have been. Last Thursday evening, Clarence, the four year old son of H. Hickenbotham, found one of them and took it home, and boy-like, proceeded to place it on a rock and with another rock produce an explosion by pound-ing the cap. The boy was suc-
cessful, and as a result his right hand was badly mutilated. No time was lost in taking the victim of the accident to the hospital, where the injured member was taken care of by Dr. King. It was a narrow escape, but fortunately the boy is now out of the hospital and getting along nicely. F. C. Malpas, who lives in that part of the town, was told by a lady in the neighborhood that she thought she had seen his boy playing with some of the caps. Mrs. Malpas and the children had gone to Wasa for a few days and naturally Mr. Malpas was worried with the fear that per-haps his boy had carried the caps with him and would also get into trouble. Telephoning to Fort Steele he had Mr. Geary send a messenger to Wasa to warn Mrs. Malpas of the proba-ble danger. He was much re-lieved later in the day to receive word back from his wife that she had searched the boy’s pockets and there were no trace of the caps.
Pot holes … Road Superin-tendent McKay could do some good work for posterity if he would fill some of the mud holes in the streets of Cranbrook. The people of this town pay their taxes to the provincial govern-ment and the majority would be pleased to get something in re-turn by way of a guarantee of good faith.
New doors … The Imperial bank has had two new doors placed in its front that are an ar-tistic piece of work, so much so in fact that they have elicited from the people the most enthu-siastic praise. The doors are grained to compare with the fine furnishings just installed by the bank, and a better piece of work was never done in western Can-ada. Bradley & Co., who did the work, have been receiving all kinds of compliments.
Fish story … The party of Wilmer ladies and gentlemen who camped at the Fish lakes for a week, have returned with some tall stories. The highest estimate of the catch is modestly put down to be only 8,765 and the largest fish caught was just a lit-tle longer than a fence. They all report having enjoyed them-selves.
Don’t just leave your house building dynamite lying around for kids to play with.

Dear Annie: A month ago, my wife was bit-ten by our neighbor’s foster dog. While the dog was healthy and had had all of its shots, the bite became infected and required a doctor’s care. This turned out to be a lengthy process, including shots and a prescription. It seems to be healing up. Our insurance paid the bill, and so far we have not received anything indicating that we owe money. The neighbor has apolo-gized many times and the dog has been re-turned to the facility. Our neighbor is very nice and we don’t want to create a conflict. Should we just let it go, or should the neighbor reimburse us for any additional costs? -- Not Sure Dear Not Sure: If there is no additional cost for your wife’s medical bills or prescriptions, we think your neighbor has done all she can -- apologized profusely and returned the dog. However, should a medical bill show up in the mail, you ought to ask your neigh-bor whether she would like to pay it or split it with you. She might actually feel better knowing she has not saddled you with a bill because of the dog. Dear Annie: I have been crying my eyes out for the last week. Our beautiful, talented, in-telligent daughter, “Susie,” became pregnant during her last semester of college. The fa-ther was a classmate. He comes from a very traditional culture and his parents have a successful business. When Susie told her boyfriend about the baby, he did not respond. My husband threatened to hire a lawyer, so Susie in-formed him that he had to tell his parents about the baby. They demanded a paternity test, which proved their son was the father. Although we recommended adoption, Susie opted to keep the baby. The lawyer got a de-cent amount of child support based on the boyfriend’s income. But a month later, the boyfriend suddenly quit his job and moved back to his parents’ native country. Our grandson is now 3, and Susie barely earns enough for child care and rent. Last week, I got a call from the mother of one of Susie’s college friends. Apparently, her daughter had invited Susie to her recent wedding, and Susie sent a note saying she’d be out of town. But another friend saw Susie boarding a bus the morning of the wedding. When I asked Susie, she started sobbing. She said she didn’t have enough money to buy a dress and get her hair done for the big day. So she maxed out her credit card to send a nice gift. What’s worse, the bride had intend-ed to introduce Susie to her cousin, a nice professional man from out of state. Now he’s back on the West Coast and Susie is stuck in a third-floor walk-up. Annie, I worry that it is too late for Susie, but please warn other young women. When it comes to a pregnancy, it is always the woman who pays the price. -- Brokenheart-ed Mom Dear Mom: Please stop concentrating on whether or not Susie has a man in her life. That is not her focus right now, nor should it be. If she cannot get child support from her reprobate ex-boyfriend, she will need your assistance to get by. Can you help with rent? What about child care? Please think about how you can make Susie’s life easier. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

HOROSCOPESby Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lot to offer. In the past few months, you might have done some self-reflection and deep thinking about your actions. This period will be ending soon, so consider taking action. You don’t have to, but you’ll at least want to consider it. Tonight: Claim your power.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone close to you could be cantankerous and difficult. At this point in time, it appears that whatever this person says is likely to wash over you like water. Still, be aware that his or her tune is about to change and you will want to respond in kind. Tonight: All smiles.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll recognize a change in the energy around you, but you might not be sure of your choices. It’s possible that you will open up to a new way of in-teracting with your friends. You are more concerned about their well-being than you might have
expressed. Tonight: Take it easy.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sense of humor and ability to acknowledge your feelings is likely to put you in touch with any information you have been trying to avoid. Your perceptions might have changed, and they will again. Tonight: Work with what you know instead of with what you don’t.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Listen to a boss explain his or her perspective and goals. You have a lot going on at the home-front right now. You will want to pull back and take a look at everything that is changing. You might decide to do less than you originally had intended. To-night: A force to be dealt with.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have an opportunity to see the big picture. Make decisions after some of the chaos around you settles down. Be more in touch with your feelings about recent talks. Express your opin-ions after you have done enough reflection to be sure of yourself. Tonight: Listen to others.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Listen to whatever someone chooses to share. This person might be airing out some prob-lems close to the real issue that he or she wants to discuss. Your responses could determine the outcome. Try to encourage him or her to be more open. Tonight: Chat over dinner.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Mars goes directly into your sign today. You are likely to tell it like it is and express your irritation, especially if you have been holding back your feelings for a while. Your softer side will find the right way to deliver the message, if you so choose. To-night: Go for the moment.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You have a lot going on within you. You might find that some anger comes forward that you have not been in touch with for a while. One-on-one relat-ing becomes more effective, and you’ll discover the power of sharing your feelings of-ten. Tonight: Express your real thoughts.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You see a situation much differ-
ently from how a friend sees it, despite this person’s attempts to have you agree with him or her. You could find that a loved one is much more receptive than he or she has been in a long time. Tonight: Seize the moment!AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have seen controversy sur-rounding a boss or higher-up. A situation evolves where the air can be cleared quite quickly and effectively. Still, you might want to hold back and see where oth-ers are coming from. Let your feelings guide you. Tonight: Head home early.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Try to see the big picture before you determine how to respond. You might need more feedback. Understand what is happen-ing before you verbalize your opinions. You will gain others’ respect for proceeding in this way. Time is your ally. Tonight: Read between the lines.BORN TODAYWriter Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900), comedian Richard Lewis (1947), actress Emily Skinner (1970)

Cranbrook City Councillor Isaac Hockley and Gabrielle Hockley hit the podium at a wake surfing competition in Mossdale Quarry Lake in California in the middle of June. Gabrielle finished in third place while Isaac finished in second place, both in the amateur division. Both were beaten by the number one-ranked amateur wake surfer in the world in both the men’s and women’s categories. The competition was a part of the World Series of Wakesurfing and Lake Koocanusa will be a stop on the tour from July 22-23 out at Sunshine Houseboats.
C A N A D I A N P R E S SNELSON, B.C. - A
male student has been arrested after threats forced the evacuation of a high school in the West Kootenay.
Nelson RCMP said they received reports last Thursday about a possible threat to Mount Sentinel Sec-ondary in South Slo-can, about 25 kilome-tres west of Nelson.
Officers arrived at the school to find a stu-dent being detained by school officials and took him into custody, police said.
Officials evacuated the school and dis-missed students early on Friday. They also decided to postpone graduation ceremonies set for the weekend and
cancel classes on Mon-day and Tuesday.
The threat was de-termined to be very se-rious and involved an isolated incident, po-lice said, adding the in-vestigation is ongoing.
The student is facing a number of criminal charges and was ex-pected to appear in provincial court in Cas-tlegar on Monday.
Staff members met Tuesday to make alter-nate plans for gradua-tion, school officials said Monday in an up-date posted to the school district’s web-site.
Students can go back to the school Wednesday morning to clean out their lockers and say their farewells, the post said.
Arrest made after threats close South Slocan school, force grad postponement
