An issue that won’t go away170 Wallinger keeps

coming up

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

The issue of what will eventu-ally happen with the very visible downtown lot at 170 Wallinger (former Esso station property) keeps coming up.

Two weeks ago at the Mayor’s Lunch, Don McCormick was asked about the city’s plans, and again at Council last week, a letter was received, which was critical of Council’s handling of the situa-tion.

At the lunch, McCormick said that Council had decided nothing yet about the long term future of the lot.

“Ideas are coming in and at

some point, Council will consider them. In the meantime, we have decided to remove the balance of the clutter and grade it flat.”

The letter received by Council came from residents Syd Fletcher and Greg McCormick (no rela-tion to the Mayor), who were writing, they said, to express their deep dissatisfaction with the way the entire thing has been han-dled.

“The land swap deal only ben-efitted the owner of the Esso sta-tion, who now has a visible build-ing lot and no liability,” the letter says. “Meanwhile the taxpayers are on the hook for thousands of dollars to try to make this eyesore in the middle of downtown safe and more presentable to look at.”

The writers went on to state that they did not find the lot a suitable site for the cenotaph —

an idea that has been mentioned more than once when discussing uses for the site. The letter also suggests that the only real poten-tial for the lot is to pay for decon-tamination and sell it, allowing for something to be built there.

“We need a building to hide the ugly views that opened up when the Esso building was torn down prematurely.”

Coun. Darryl Oakley said it was important that people have a little understanding with what the City was doing, trying to miti-gate an environmental hazard and eyesore. There was going to be some cost and risk with that, but the City was looking at grants to assist, he said.

Coun. Albert Hoglund said he agreed that the City let the former owners of the lot off the hook.

FOR THE BULLETIN

A 27 year old British man has been sen-tenced in the U.K. relating to an inter-net child luring investi-gation that involved a Cranbrook youth.

In November 2012, a young boy in Cranbrook accessed a well-known Internet website to chat and meet strangers while his parents were not home. The boy sub-sequently connected with a number of strang-ers he met on the site using the video camera on his laptop. The young boy was coaxed into

showing his genitals on-line by his “new friends”. When the youths par-ents got home and dis-covered what had hap-pened they immediately contacted the Cran-brook RCMP.

An Internet Investiga-tor with the Cranbrook RCMP commenced an investigation which sub-sequently lead to a sus-pect residing in Britain. Based on information provided by Cranbrook RCMP, British authori-ties commenced an in-vestigation and in doing so were able to obtain and execute search war-

rants. “This was a very

lengthy and complex in-vestigation” explained S/Sgt. Dubnyk. “It is a great example of police agencies ability to share information and assist one another in identify-ing and tracking down “on line” sexual preda-tors regardless of geo-graphical distances. It is also a stark reminder of the need for parents to become educated about computer technologies and to maintain open dialogue regarding their children’s online activi-ties” Dubnyk added.

providing $194,000 to the East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council and $23,300 to the Regional Dis-trict of East Kootenay to help control the spread of invasive plants, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett announced Friday.

These are among the 29 grants totalling $1,702,000, that are being distributed province-wide to local governments, regional invasive species committees and the Inva-sive Species Council of B.C. to as-sist with their activities and sup-port the objectives of the provin-cial Invasive Plant Program.

“Invasive species cause real damage to the environment, but also to our prosperity,” Bennett said. “They cause soil erosion, re-duce biodiversity and are harmful to commercial crops. Controlling invasive species is an important part of investing in our region’s future.”

The funding will be invested in activities such as raising public awareness of invasive plants, sur-veying invasive plant populations and actively treating high-priority sites to control the spread of these plants.

Invasive plants are species that have been introduced into British Columbia from other areas. They displace native vegetation and can cause considerable economic and environmental damage. Some pose a health risk to people (e.g. skin irritation). Invasive plants can disrupt natural ecosys-tems, reduce biodiversity, in-crease soil erosion, alter soil chemistry and adversely affect commercial crops.

The Invasive Plant Program identifies sites where invasive plant species have been found and responds rapidly to contain and eradicate them before they become established and start spreading.

This funding is in addition to the $735,000 already allocated by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations for invasive plant control and management in 2015-16.

An assessment of the potential avalanche risk from two avalanche paths in Jumbo Valley has determined that the majority of Jumbo Gla-cier Resort’s Service Building foundation is in a high risk zone.

“Dense flow impacts were observed with 10 to 15 metres of the building site,” states the report prepared by Dy-namic Avalanche Con-sulting Inc. dated March 19th.

In the report, high risk is indicated by the term “Red Zone” while moderate risk is labelled “Blue Zone” and low risk labelled “White Zone.”

The remainder of the Service Building site is located in the Blue Zone. The resort’s Day Lodge foundation is mostly within the Blue Zone with a small por-tion in the White Zone.

Jumbo building foundations in avalanche risk zones: report

lanche impacts were observed 80 metres from the Day Lodge, but there was no evidence to suggest that dense flow can reach the Day Lodge,” the report ex-plains.

Both concrete foun-dations were poured last fall just before the resort’s Environmental Certificate came up for renewal. A decision by the BC Minister of Envi-ronment Mary Polak on whether or not Jumbo Glacier Resort achieved enough of a “substantial start” to renew the Envi-ronmental Certificate has been pending while an engineering ava-lanche risk evaluation has been underway.

Based on the above assessments, the report recommends that a building constructed on the Service Building foundation “not be used or routinely accessed during the winter sea-son.”

Further recommen-dations include doors and windows facing away from avalanche flow direction and struc-tural reinforcement that can withstand the im-pact of an avalanche.

With respect to the Day Lodge site, its use is

also subject to recom-mendations, namely a building with structural reinforcement for im-pact pressures (less than what’s recommended for the Service Build-ing), explosive control with remote fixed ex-ploders to reduce ava-lanche hazard, and an evacuation plan to re-duce potential residual avalanche risk to work-ers and the public “within and outside the building.”

The report goes on to say that “protection of workers and the public in and around the Day Lodge will require im-plementation of an ava-lanche safety plan, which will include ex-plosive avalanche con-trol and an evacuation plan implemented by trained, experienced and licensed avalanche technicians.”

Other Canadian re-sorts are located in po-tential avalanche areas, including Sunshine Vil-lage’s day lodge and parking area in Banff, Whitewater Ski Resort in Nelson and Mount Nor-quay in Banff.

The Jumbo Glacier Resort council meeting scheduled for this week has been cancelled.

Plans are off the ground for a 2016 airshow, with a special teaser this summer that will include flyovers of two vintage WWII planes —a twin-engine B25 “Mitchell bomber, which visited Cranbrook last sum-mer, and a B17 “Flying Fortress” bomber (pictured above).

From Page 1“I disagreed at the

time and now the City has to clean it up,” he said.

“We’re in it now,” said Coun. Sandra Rob-erts. “This is just two people’s opinion. They’re entitled to have an opinion, but we are looking at the best op-tions. We are not going to do something if we don’t have the money.”

Coun. Bev Middle-brook said she agreed that Council had to con-centrate on the present. “It was a terrible eyesore and it would make a beautiful downtown park,” she said.

“The takeaway from

this is that having a basic overall plan in place is important,” Mc-Cormick said. “I think if we had spent a little more time up front fig-uring this out, it may have been different.”

McCormick says while community con-versation is welcome, he wishes those conversa-tions could have been had before when previ-ous Council did the land swap and then tore the building down.

Council previously voted for the land swap in the spring of 2014, and then authorized spending $60,000 to tear down the building last fall.

Mayor Don McCor-mick had voted in fa-vour of the land swap but not in favour of tear-ing the building down at the time.

“I was in support of the land swap so we could get control of an eyesore. But we agreed at the time that we didn’t want taxpayers’ money used for the demolition. The money was supposed to come from the sale of the lots. We’ve only sold one lot so we’re spending money we don’t’ have. That’s exactly what we have to stop doing,” he said last fall prior to the election.

Fate of 170 Wallinger still under debate

August 5 and 6, 2016 chosen as dates for

Cranbrook International Airshow

Plans are off the ground for a 2016 airshow, with a special teaser this summer that will in-clude flyovers of two vintage WWII planes — a twin-engine B25 “Mitchell bomber, which visited Cranbrook last summer, and a B17 “Flying Fortress” bomber.

“This is a new contractor we’re working with out of Cal-gary,” explained CAO Wayne Staudt at Monday’s meeting. “He’s prepared to do some pre-liminary activity in 2015, in-cluding getting the Snowbirds flying over and some other things.”

The vintage planes will take to the air in mid-July, while the Snowbirds — accompanied by a a CF 18 fighter and a CF Buffalo aircraft — are scheduled for mid-August.

Planning for the Canadian Rockies International Airshow is underway and on Wednes-day, April 22, the Cranbrook In-ternational Airshow Society will meet at 7 p.m. at the old airport firehall. Darrel Garton, chair of the society is inviting anyone interested to come to the meet-

ing. They are looking for volun-teers from all over the area and will be going over the details of the airshow plans.

The Canadian Rockies Inter-national Airshow is planned for Aug. 5 and 6, 2016.

The upcoming teasers this summer are meant to help raise interest in the 2016 airshow. The vintage World War 2 bomb-ers are operated by the Com-memorative Air Force, while the Canadian Forces operate the CF 18 and the Buffalo, as well as the Snowbirds. The August fly-over will also include up to eight civilian aeronautical per-formers that will offer a sample of their performances.

Among the civilian perform-ers that will be participating in the teaser are several perform-ers from the Discovery Channel television series “Airshow”. That includes series star “Super Dave” Mathieson.

Additionally, the executive producer of Airshow, Mark Miller, a former resident of Cranbrook, will be in atten-dance this August to film the flyover as part of the television series.

As a fund raiser for the new local airshow society, WestJet has graciously donated a return ticket for two to any scheduled WestJet destination in Canada. The society will hold a raffle for tickets this summer with the proceeds going into the devel-opment of the airshow.

Back in April 2014, the City of Cranbrook was contacted by Garton, a Calgary-based airline contractor with a passion for airshows. He wanted to estab-lish a new not-for-profit society for producing the Canadian Rockies International Airshow. The city noted that Garton is well connected in the airshow sector with extensive direct in-volvement in the production of airshows.

Garton has family ties to the Cranbrook area and is familiar with the Canadian Rockies In-ternational Airport (CRIA) as an airshow venue. City staff said that from the initial contact made to the city, the Tristan Chernove, Airport Managing Director and Kevin Weaver, Economic Development Officer for the city, have been working with Garton to advance the concept.

In October 2015, an inde-pendent non-profit-society was established for the airshow so-ciety.

The society is planning for the August 5 and 6, 2016 dates for the airshow.

It will feature civilian and military performers from across Canada and the U.S. The city is estimating the two day event will attract over 10,000 attend-ees. Significant planning still has to be undertaken by the so-ciety.

Turning repurposed freezers into

your garden’s new best friend

With the gardening season upon us, Cran-brook Food Action Committee and Wild-sight Kimberley/Cran-brook are pleased to an-nounce that Luke Kim-mel will be teaching 2 workshops: “Wicked Raised Beds” on April 25th 10am-4pm at the Cranbrook Public Pro-duce Garden and 26th at the Kimberley Open Gate Garden. The cost is $45 per person, with volunteer bursaries available for those who are restricted by the price.

Wicking beds are a unique and increasingly popular way to grow vegetables. They are self-contained raised beds with built-in water reservoirs. Water is wicked from the reser-voir up into the soil, making these beds self-watering with in-creased water efficien-cy. Because they are raised beds, they warm

Wicked raised beds workshops in Kimberley and Cranbrook

up more quickly in the spring, have good drain-age, and are more ergo-nomic with less need for bending to maintain. In this workshop, old freez-ers will be used to create the wicking beds giving them a much greener second life than in the landfill, while also pro-viding insulation to the plant roots.

Luke Kimmel is one of the founding members of Calgary’s Leaf Ninjas Inc. Luke designs and facili-tates the installation of edible landscapes in Cal-gary and abroad. “Once plants are established in a wicking bed, watering maintenance decreases from once per day to once per week or less,” says Kimmel. “Wicking

beds make gardening easier and more conve-nient for both beginner and experienced garden-ers, and the principles behind wicking beds can be adapted and applied to create water harvesting solutions for entire gar-dens and landscapes.” He has studied with interna-tional experts on topics such as food forestry,

permaculture, organic farming, broad scale landscape restoration, rainwater harvesting, composting, soil biology and more. Kimmel’s pas-sion is “making it hap-pen” and whether that’s on the job or in his spare time, you can often find him happily creating things out in the garden.

KIMBeRLeY NeWS aPRIL 19, 1956PIoNeeR FIRM

MaRKS BIRthdaYA pioneer Kimberley

business firm this week celebrates its 20th anni-versary.

It was early in 1936 that the Otis Staples Lumber Company Lim-ited disposed of their in-terests and the Fabro Building and Supply Company Limited, which took over the firm, was incorporated in April of that year.

At first, business was carried on in the original premises known as the lumber yard on Jennings Avenue. But with the growth of the communi-ty, a growth in which the Fabro organization played a leading part and in order to keep pace with present day merchandising meth-ods, the company pur-chased the property

originally known as the Zak building at the cor-ner of Ross Street and Wallinger Avenue.

The building was re-modelled and opened for business in 1949. Over the years since then, it has undergone extensive operations and only a year ago was completely remodelled to include a second floor showroom for building supplies that is the last word in modern display. Today, the firm’s Wall-inger Avenue premises are regarded as one of the East Kootenay’s lead-ing business establish-ments.

Through their exten-sive contracting, lum-bering and sawmill op-erations, a great many Kimberley people owe their livelihood to the Fabro concern.

Forty to fifty persons are steadily employed and at peak their payroll reaches 100. As contrac-tors, they have built many Kimberley’s finest buildings including the

City Hall, Orpheum The-atre, the Medical Clinic, the extensive alterations and additions to the Hudson’s Bay Compa-ny’s store, the Canadian legion building, Kimber-ley Frosted Foods, the Lindsay Park and Chap-man Camp schools as well as renovations and additions to the high school and Marysville school, countless private residences, commercial garages and the highly attractive remodelling of the Grill Cafe.

In addition, the Fabro Building and Supply Company Limited has carried out a major por-tion of the city’s exten-sive sidewalk construc-tion program of the past few years.BaBY’S CRIeS aveRt

The cries of a 17 month old baby averted a tragedy here in the early hours of Monday morning.

Baby Dyne Torgeson’s restlessness awakened

his mother and father, city Clerk and Mrs. Don Torgeson, from uncon-sciousness occasioned by carbon monoxide poisoning and saved the family of five from cer-tain death.

Now recovered from a harrowing experience, Mrs. Torgeson explained that a coal fire had been kept in the fireplace all day Sunday and when the family retired, was still glowing brightly. Mr. Torgeson partially closed the damper and it is sur-mised that later a down-draft closed it complete-ly.

It was 2:50 a.m. when Dyne’s crying awakened his mother who, on get-ting up to attend to the youngster, was con-scious of dizziness and violet chest pains. She fi-nally aroused her hus-band who went in to the baby while Mrs. Torgeson told their little girl, Donna, to come to her room.

The Way it Was; 1956From Page 4“Donna cried

‘Mummy I can’t,’ and she was trying to crawl across the floor but she finally collapsed,” said Mrs. Torgeson in recounting the experience.

“I was conscious that I had to get help but couldn’t stand. I was crawling along the floor when I saw Don stretched out. He appeared to be completely unconscious,” she went on, explaining that she finally reached the telephone but could not use it.

Fortunately Mrs. Torgeson was able to con-tact Mr. and Mrs. Jim McIndoe, who occupy the downstairs suite at the Torgeson home, by means of a telephone buzzer and the McIndoes were quick-ly on the scene summon-ing medical help and the Fire Department’s emer-gency equipment.

Dr. J.M. Shaw, who re-sponded, declared later that another fifteen min-utes “might have been too late” as the whole family was in advanced stages of coal gas poisoning.

Back in his office at the city hall Wednesday Mr. Torgeson pointed out that there is an ever-present danger from fumes and suggested that all who use

coal exercise care when leaving an unattended fire.laSt riteS For H.H.

Death claimed one of Marysville’s oldest pio-neers, Herbert H. Mc-Clure, of Marysville, at Kimberley and District Public Hospital, last Wednesday, April 11, after an illness of a few weeks’ duration.

Born in Brampton, Ontario, 79 years ago, Mr. McClure and his wife, the former Marion Black, came west to Lethbridge soon after their marriage

in 1905, and settled on a farm in that district.

Later they moved to the Cranbrook district and established the Mountain View Dairy Farm on St. Mary’s Prairie, where they made their home until moving to Marysville in 1946.

Mr. and Mrs. McClure celebrated their Golden Wedding on February 8, 1955.

Mr. McClure is sur-vived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. J. Noble at Chapman Camp; one son, Stewart, in Marys-ville; Valory, at Vancouver and Colby in Marysville;

three brothers, Norman and John of Vancouver and Arthur of Brampton, Ontario; one sister, Elsie, also of Brampton.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. McPhee at Kimberley United Church on Satur-day, April 14, with inter-ment at Kimberley Ceme-tery. Pallbearers were Harold McClure of Kim-berley, a nephew of the deceased; Roy McMi-chael, Chapman Camp; David Suttie of Wycliffe; David Kay, Cranbrook; and Fred Fodor and Ba-yard Iverson of Marysville.

MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2015

Back in the day, when the Sullivan Mine was still operating in Kimber-ley, some miners called the lunch

break “pie time”.It was pie time in Alberta last week too,

but much to the chagrin of Wildrose can-didate Rick Strankman, his pie auction fundraiser idea backfired and had him is-suing an apology.

Let me explain. Strank-man, who is running for election in the rural riding of Drumheller-Stettler, thought that an old-fash-ioned pie auction might be just the ticket to raise some funds and meet riding resi-dents. Sounds great. Who doesn’t like pie?

Strankman even created an acronym for the event, BYWP, which sounds cool. Acronyms lend an event a certain cachet, don’t you think? But what does BYWP mean? Well, unfortunately it means Bring Your Wife’s Pie.

Yes, Strankman wants you to bring your wife’s pie to the event so it can be auc-tioned off to raise him some funds. Bring the pie, but don’t bring your wife. Just the pie, that your wife made, because what do women know about politics? Nothing — not their business. They’re too busy mak-ing pies. Everyone knows politics is strictly for men here in 1915 Alberta. Oh, wait ... it’s 2015.

Naturally the outcry was swift as soon as the BYWP poster was released. A small

Twitter storm erupted and the offending poster was soon gone. Strankman, being an astute politician, did what politicians have been doing since before 1915 — he blamed his volunteers.

“I apologize for our poster. It was posted by our volunteers through my account. As soon as I saw it, I asked them to take it

down #abvote,” he Tweet-ed.

Let’s parse this state-ment, shall we?

“I apologize for our poster.” Our poster. Not his, but ours. It spreads respon-sibility outward a bit, right at the beginning of the

statement. Nice work.“It was posted by our volunteers

through my account.” Those volunteers just high-jacked his account and started posting Neanderthal statements about who should be doing the pie-baking in Drumeller-Stettler. You can’t trust volun-teers — you need them, but you can’t trust them not to make you sound like a sexist throwback.

“As soon as I saw it, I asked them to take it down.” Look at how decisive I am! Look at how I recognize a potentially damaging situation caused by my crazy volunteers and made bold moves to correct it! Vote for me!

It’s going to be an interesting election in Alberta on May 5. Polls are showing that the Conservative Party, which has ruled

Alberta for over 40 years, is in third place. The Globe and Mail reported that a poll

released last Wednesday sampled 3,121 people and found the Wildrose Party and the NDP tied in the lead, each with 24 per cent of the voters, while the PCs came in third at 18 per cent.

The Conservatives in third place! And one of the parties tied for first is the NDP? In Alberta? That’s craziness!

It is doubtful that a minor gaffe like BYWP will make much of a difference to the Wildrose Party’s fortunes in the long run.

But Alberta voters have tantalized us with the possibility of change before. Any-one remember the last election when all polls indicated that the province would go Wildrose and the voters collectively gagged at the last moment and returned the Con-servatives to power?

And that gave the province Alison Red-ford in all her Marie Antoinetteish glory. Even though Redford is long gone, her ef-fect on the Conservative Party in Alberta remains. Will Alberta veer left or even fur-ther right? Don’t know, but it’s going to be interesting to watch.

I might even have an election return watching party on May 5. Bring your own pie. Unlike Rick Strankman, I don’t care who makes it.

Nicole Byford, 16, and Reese Fichten, 9, of Cranbrook, have just returned from The War Amps 2015 BC Child

Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Vancouver. This year marks the 40th anniversary of CHAMP.

For the townsmanNicole Byford, 16, and Reese

Fichten, 9, of Cranbrook, have just returned from The War Amps 2015 BC Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Vancou-ver, which brought together young amputees from across the province. This year marks the

40th anniversary of CHAMP which has provided generations of child amputees, with financial assistance for artificial limbs, re-gional seminars and peer sup-port. Nicole was born a partial left hand amputee and Reese was born a double arm amputee. They attended the three-day

seminar with their moms where they learned about the latest de-velopments in artificial limbs, dealing with teasing and bully-ing and parenting an amputee child. Nicole was also a Junior Counsellor at the Seminar, act-ing as a role model and offering advice to the younger Champs.

College of the Rock-ies hosted 48 grade nine students from the re-gion on Wednesday, April 9th for a full day of trades-related activi-ties. The event saw stu-dents from Cranbrook, Jaffray, Fernie and Elk-ford gathered at the Cranbrook main cam-pus as part of the YES 2 IT (Youth Exploring Skills to Industry Train-ing) program.

Students had the op-portunity to practice their wood and met-al-working skills in the carpentry shop build-ing bookshelves before trying their hand at wir-ing lights and switches in the electrical shop. The day concluded with a competition in nailing spikes into a beam.

Prior to the shop ac-tivities, WorksafeBC Safety Officer Jeff McKay gave a vivid pre-sentation on workplace hazards, safe practices, and the rights of young workers.

College of the Rock-ies welding, carpentry, and electrical instruc-tors, along with grade 12 ACE IT students and apprentices provided instruction and mento-ring for the partici-pants.

College of the Rock-ies’ Regional Transition Coordinator Brian Con-rad says, “This was an excellent event that was useful in exposing stu-dents to and exciting them about the skilled trades prior to their entry into senior sec-ondary. It was also an opportunity to show-case what trades oppor-tunities are available to them at the College of the Rockies.”

Being “green” is not just a buzzword today but also a way of life for an increasing number of peo-ple. The benefits of making some envi-ronmental strides not only extend to safe-guarding resources for future generations. For those who have not yet embraced en-vironmentally friendly actions, perhaps the financial rewards of doing so may be the catalyst for change.

A side effect of being environmentally con-scious often can be saving money. In fact, depending on the ini-tiatives taken, savings can be anywhere from

a few dollars to several thousand. Naturally, some eco-changes do require an initial investment, such as purchasing a new energy-saving device or appliance. Many others do not and only save you money.

Whether you’re looking for tried-and-true ways to go green, relatively easy ways to save money or both, the following are some ideas that work.

· Cook more meals at home. Convenience

Going green makes financial $ense

meals may be

easy, but they’re more

expensive than cooking fresh meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. What’s more, convenience foods tend to be overly packaged and may be shipped great distances. Simply packing a lunch for work each day can save you around $100 per month.

· Find a carpooling buddy. Share your ride to work with one or more people, and not only are you saving fuel, wear and tear on your car and possible toll charges, but you will save money as well. Some calcula-tions paint a savings of around $650 a year for carpoolers who share their ride and gas bill with only one friend. That may be incentive enough to split commuting costs and tasks.

· Try public transpor-tation. If you are more of a commuting loner

or do not have anyone nearby to split the ride, try switching to public transportation, where available. Not only will you reduce your carbon footprint by using mass transit, biking or walking to work, but you will also save thousands on trips that would de-preciate your vehicle’s value.

· Make smarter buys. So many items are available at the click of a button or by visiting mass retail chains. However, not every purchase is a smart buy - even if it costs less. Some cheap consumer goods are not worth the small-er price tag. They’re produced overseas in areas with lax envi-ronmental regulations and then may be shipped thousands of miles. Sometimes buying more expen-sive, locally produced items makes better financial sense in the long run. These prod-ucts will last longer and not need replac-ing in mere months.

· Rent, borrow and give. Most people are at fault for purchasing a gadget, tool or small appliance they had every intention of putting to good use. But after one use, that item is now collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. Instead of always thinking to buy first, save money by investigat-ing rental agreements or borrowing belongings from others. Plenty of people have equally dusty items sitting in their homes that they’ll likely lend out. The cost is considerably less than pur-chasing new, especially for a one-time use item.

· Grow a garden. Produce prices continue to climb. An easy way to save money and have ultimate control over what fertilizers and pest remedies are used on fruits and vegetables is to grow them yourself. Save hundreds on salad greens, tomatoes, potatoes, and strawberries. Plus, a home garden offers the convenience of fresh produce close by when it’s needed.

· Do an energy audit. Your home is probably wasting money right now. Simple improve-ments that make a home more efficient can save the average homeowner consider-ably. Caulking, sealing windows, ensuring heating and cooling systems are working efficiently and a load of other minor repairs can save on energy costs. Additionally, you may be eligible for home tax credits.

USE YOUR REUSABLE Greenhouse gas-es are gases in the atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation. Water va-por, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are the primary green-house gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, and according to the United States Environmental Pro-tection Agency, these gases are significant contributors to cli-mate change.While climate change poses a considerable threat, it’s important to note that much of the increase in green-house gases over the last 150 years can be traced to human activities. By chang-ing certain behaviors and practices, men and women can help to reduce green-house gas emissions. The following are a few simple changes men and women can make in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their homes.· Buy ENERGY STAR® products. A 2012 report from the United States Energy Informa-tion Administration noted that electricity production gener-ates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. The EN-ERGY STAR® label indicates products have been tested and approved as ener-gy-efficient, meaning they consume less electricity than other similar products. The ENERGY STAR® la-bel can be found on a host of home ap-pliances, including lighting, heating and cooling equipment and electronics. Homeowners who want to pitch in to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while

also lowering their utility bills should only consider those products that have earned the ENERGY STAR® label.· Revisit your cooling and heating habits. Home cooling and heating systems con-sume a considerable amount of energy, and inefficient use of these systems is a significant contrib-utor to greenhouse gas emissions. But cutting back on these emissions does not mean you have to sweat out sultry summer afternoons or hide under the covers upon the arrival of winter. Re-placing air filters ac-cording to manufac-turer guidelines and using programmable thermostats so you aren’t heating and cooling your house when no one is home are some easy ways to dramatically reduce the green-house gas emissions that emanate from your heating and cooling systems. Such efficient use of these systems also saves you money on your monthly energy bills.· Recycle. Recycling can greatly reduce your home’s green-house gas emissions. Many communities now mandate that residents recycle plastics, glass con-tainers and paper goods like newspa-pers and magazines. Recycling can be so simple that it’s easy to forget just how beneficial it can be. When products are recycled, that reduc-es the need to extract resources, manu-facture replacement goods and dispose of products, each of which contributes to pollution and green-house gas emissions.

If you and members of your household have yet to embrace recycling, you’re not only increas-ing greenhouse gas emissions, but also you may even be breaking the law. If your community sponsors a recycling program, simply separate recyclable items from the rest of your trash and leave them out on the curb on desig-nated pickup days. If no such program exists in your com-munity, separate items to recycle and periodically bring them to your local recycling center, which may even pay you for certain items.· Compost food waste. Instead of discarding leftovers in the garbage can, compost that wasted food so it does not end up in landfills, where it will con-tribute to methane gas in the air. Com-posting food waste can improve the soil in your yard and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and it also makes you feel better that you’re making use of wast-ed food that would otherwise go straight into the garbage can.Reducing green-house gas emissions may seem like a

massive undertaking, but concerned men and women can em-ploy several simple

strategies to do their part to protect the environment.



Did you know you can use ANY yellow bin you see around the East Kootenay? With over 600 bins available, recycling has never been easier!

Here are some quick tips to remember:

• All plastics MUST be clean and have a number between 1 and 6. That number must be in the triangular recycling symbol. If there is no number, it should go in the garbage if it can’t be reused.

• All plastic grocery/shopping bags can be recycled -- even if they don’t have a number on them. All other plastics must be numbered

• Styrofoam CANNOT be recycled in the yellow bins (even though it’s marked #6), but can go to the MMBC packaging area at the Cranbrook Bottle Depot.

• Tin cans should be well rinsed with labels removed, if possible.

• Cardboard should be flattened to save bin space.

• Foil covered or waxy papers cannot be recycled. Milk cartons can be taken to the MMBC Packaging area at the Cranbrook Bottle Depot for recycling.

The College of the Rockies Avalanche Ath-letics program hosted its annual awards banquet Friday, April 17, at the Heritage Inn in Cran-brook, honouring the best and brightest from the 2014-15 PACWEST season.

“It’s been a great year for our student athletes, in particular, our wom-en’s team,” said Cori An-drichuk, manager of campus life and athletics at College of the Rockies, as she addressed those in attendance Friday night. “The student ath-letes could not have done it without the help of the coaches, the par-ents, the volunteers, the sponsors, the College of the Rockies, our team of gym staff…It’s been spectacular.”

Alexa Koshman and Kelsey Thompson brought home the big-gest hardware hauls on the women’s side of the festivities, with each claiming four awards, including a share of the Lady Avs Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Koshman and Thompson finished the season atop the PACWEST ranks with 308 digs each.

Thompson also took home honours as team MVP, Offensive Player of the Year as well as a PACWEST First All Star Team nod.

The 2014-15 season marked the second con-secutive year Thomp-son, a native of Vernon, B.C., was named both team MVP and Offen-sive Player of the Year.

“As a coach, you’re al-ways looking for some-one to step up, someone to lead, someone to do the little things,” said Lady Avs coach Andrew Zurrin Friday. “But when it comes down to crunch time, you’re looking at your setter and you’re going, ‘Give her the ball.’”

Zurrin was, of course, speaking about Thomp-son -- his MVP and go-to left-side hitter -- who helped fuel the Lady Avs offense.

Thompson led the entire PACWEST in kills through the season, crushing 286 through 84 sets, guiding the wom-en’s program to the PACWEST Provincial Volleyball Champion-ships for the first time in program history.

Koshman filled her mantle with honours as team Rookie of the Year and Avalanche Player of the Year in addition to earning a PACWEST All Rookie Team nod.

“We had nine rookies this year…and at times we had four, if not five, on the court at all times,” Zurrin said. “To choose a [top] rookie, very tough, because we had so many that did so many things that contributed.”

For the men, Brett Carter, Ben Smith and Curtis Stockton each claimed two awards.

Smith was recog-nized for his perfor-mance both in the class-room, on the court and in the community as the Avalanche Player of the Year, backed by a PACWEST Academic Excellence Award.

Stockton earned his

second consecutive team MVP title, while also being named to the PACWEST First All Star Team.

The third-year and native of Melbourne, Australia, led the PACWEST with 377 kills through 90 sets in the 2014-15 season.

Carter was named team Rookie of the Year, while also earning the Sun City Coachlines First Year Student Ath-lete Award.

“I’d like to thank the guys for a wonderful season,” Avalanche coach Steve Kamps said as he addresses the ban-quet Friday night. “I know it was frustrating for all of us not to make it, but sometimes with failure there are things to learn, lessons to learn. I hope we all can look back on the season as a positive experience.

“One of my goals or philosophies is to turn these guys into men and to give them skills they can take from the vol-leyball court into every-day life. Even though we may not have been as successful as we wanted on the volleyball court, I know these gentlemen are going to move on and do some amazing things in the future.”

The men missed the PACWEST Provincial Volleyball Champion-ships, finishing 5-19 through the 2014-15 campaign.

atlanta Braves get by Toronto Blue JaysDan r alph

Canadian Press

TORONTO - Jonny Gomes drove in four runs to as the Atlanta Braves beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-2 Sunday.

Gomes brought home three runs on a double and another with a sacrifice fly as At-lanta (8-4) took two-of-three from Toronto (6-7). The Blue Jays dropped to 2-5 on their 10-game homestand.

Right-hander Shelby Miller (2-0) got the win, allowing two runs and

five hits over six innings while striking out six and walking three.

Toronto native Rus-sell Martin delivered the big blow off Miller, a two-run double in the sixth, and threw out two Braves baserunners to delight the Rogers Cen-tre gathering of 44,794.

Left-hander Daniel Norris (1-1) took the loss, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits with two walks and a strike-out over 2 2/3 innings.

Left-hander Jeff Francis of North Delta,

B.C., whose contract was added from triple-A Buffalo earlier Sunday, started the fifth to be-come the 22nd Canadi-an to play for Toronto. The 10-year veteran pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing two hits while fanning three and walking two before giving way to right-hander Roberto Osuna.

Gomes put Atlanta ahead 3-0 in the first with a two-out, bas-es-loaded double off Norris. The Jays starter gave up a leadoff single

to outfielder Cameron Maybin, who was hitting just .115, and allowed four hits to the seven batters he faced.

Toronto lost leadoff hitter Devon Travis (left rib contusion) in the first inning. Hit by a pitch, Travis left after diving back to first on a

pickoff and was re-placed by Steve Tolleson. Travis is listed as day to day.

Atlanta added two more runs in the third. Chris Johnson’s run-scoring single scored Freddie Free-man, who walked. Free-man came home on a

throwing error by cen-tre-fielder Dalton Pompey.

Gomes’ sacrifice fly then scored Johnson and chased Norris, who was replaced by right-hander Marco Estrada.

Martin got Toronto on the scoreboard in the sixth, scoring Jose Bau-

tista (walk) and Edwin Encarnacion (single). But after walking Justin Smoak, Miller retired Kevin Pillar (flyout) to end the threat.

Right-hander Jason Grilli retired the three Toronto hitters he faced in the ninth for his sixth save.

Dear Annie: For many years, I have heard about the dangers of second-hand smoke. I am a non-smoker, but was married to a smoker for 13 years and have asthma.

Now that pot is being legalized in some states, including where I live, what are the dangers of secondhand pot smoke? I haven’t heard a word about it. Are the states just looking for additional tax revenue and keeping it out of the news? -- Concerned Breather in Oregon

Dear Breather: According to the American Lung Association, inhaling smoke is harmful whether it’s from cigarettes, pot or burning wood. Mar-ijuana smoke contains many of the same toxins, irritants and carcinogens as tobacco smoke, and pot smokers generally inhale it for a longer period of time. Secondhand marijuana smoke contains the same ingredients.

How dangerous is it to non-smok-ers? A 2014 study found that blood-ves-sel function in lab rats dropped by 70 percent after 30 minutes of exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke and hadn’t returned to normal even after 40 minutes. And the rats suffered the same effects even if the pot contained no THC. So, you might not get a “contact high,” but with continued exposure, you could suffer impaired lung and blood-vessel function.

Marijuana is much stronger today than it was 40 years ago. More studies need to be done, obviously, but if you are regularly exposed to smoke of any kind, you are likely to develop a prob-lem. Steer clear.

Dear Annie: I am responding to “B” about unsolicited phone calls. I re-cently fell victim to such a scam. I pur-chased a lifetime repair contract for my computer. A month later, I received a call saying they were going out of busi-ness and needed to return my money. I foolishly let them gain control of my computer, where they claim to have accidentally “deposited” an amount greater than what they owed me. They then said I needed to send a Money-Gram for the overpayment.

I had the person on my cellphone when I went to a MoneyGram location. The woman there told me to hang up and informed me that it was a scam. I then went to my bank and was able to protect my account. I also reported it to the police.

On my way to the bank, I received 17 calls from the scammer asking why I hadn’t sent the money. The specialist at the bank told him to stop calling. It was too late to reverse the charges on my credit card for the original contract, but the bank canceled that card and is-sued a new one. Here is how I stopped these calls:

1. I blocked the numbers they were calling from on my cellphone and my home phone.

2. I set “call rejection” on my home phone so if anyone called from a “pri-vate” or “unknown” number, they would be required to unblock their number and call back.

I hope others learn from my experi-ence. -- A Lesson Well Learned

Dear Lesson: Thank you for sharing. We received a great many letters with examples of how these unscrupulous people work and will print more in fu-ture columns.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your instincts serve you well. Be aware of your limitations in a situation, and don’t push boundaries. By the midafter-noon, you could become more inquisitive. Allow your imagi-nation to fill any gaps and come up with ideas. Tonight: Have a long-overdue chat.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use the morning to the max. You know what you want, and others will respond once you decide to go for it. A matter surrounding your home life will take a turn, most likely for the better. Open up to possibil-ities that someone else offers. Tonight: Put your best foot forward.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could feel a bit off in the morning, but by late afternoon, your energy surges. Keep neg-ativity on the back burner, and you will be able to accomplish a lot more. Pressure could build in a relationship, which will force to head in a new direction. To-

night: Demand the stage.CANCER (June 21-July 22)You might believe that you are on the right path and could become a little careless. You could get tripped up over a de-tail you have overlooked. Avoid being too exacting in what you do. You might feel as if you are being confronted over nothing. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You might decide to change your focus and head in a new direction. Complete what you have started, and by the end of the day, good news will greet you. Whether you are in a meeting or at a planned get-to-gether, you end up with friends. Tonight: Find a good excuse to celebrate.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Encourage yourself to take in the big picture, especially if you feel triggered. You might want to approach a situation differently. Others look to you for guidance and suggestions. Know the importance of being a role model. Tonight: Pressure builds.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Let your sensitive and caring side emerge. You might be more tired than you realize, which will affect your words and actions. Go for a walk and/or recharge your batteries by going to the gym. You will feel much better as a result. Tonight: Detach and relax, then decide.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Step back and acknowledge what is happening around you. Defer to someone else, and make sure that he or she is will-ing to carry the ball. Clearly, you feel as if you have your hands full. You need to be more dom-inant in other areas for now. To-night: Handle money with care.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be very put off by someone’s words, and your ex-pression will say it all. Be willing to approach a matter differently for your sake, and try to resolve a hassle. Accept the fact that you can’t change other people. Tonight: Try not to shut down.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You might want to have a dis-cussion about what you expect from someone. Otherwise, this person most likely will let you

down because of your high ex-pectations, which he or she is unaware of. Use your creativity for solutions. Tonight: Clear out an errand first. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You might be more reluctant than you realize. Deal with a personal matter first. A partner or loved one could be challeng-ing, and it might force you to rethink your stance. Your child-like side emerges when dealing with a heavy matter. Tonight: Act as if it’s not Monday night.PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Express your thoughts with the expectation of being heard. Your attitude most likely will provoke the response you de-sire. Honor a change, and be willing to move away from a loved one who could be too challenging at the moment. To-night: Head home. Keep it calm. BORN TODAYActress Jessica Lange (1949), actor George Takei (1937), sing-er Stephen Marley (1972) ***

He was an avid hunter and one of the founders of the Yahk Raft Races. He was a lover of all animals and around the Phillips household he was known as the cat whisperer. Ken was a cherished friend to those who loved him.

A celebration of his life was held on April 17th.
