Watering restrictions are now mandatoryNon-compliance can mean having water shut off, fines

C AROLYN GR ANTBulletin Editor

Although Kimberley was experiencing a welcome respite from the dry heat while Council sat Monday evening, one evening’s rain did not make a difference.

Council voted Monday to make watering restrictions mandatory under the water bylaw until further notice.

As reported in the Bulletin last Friday, the city’s reservoir behind the Mark Creek damn

is at a level it usually only reaches in Sep-tember, right before snow begins to replenish it.

Mandatory restrictions are as follows:

• Residents of properties with even-numbered ad-dresses should water only on even-numbered days.

• Residents of properties with odd-numbered ad-dresses should water only on odd-numbered days.

• Watering should be done between the hours of

4 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 12 p.m. That 8 p.m. time is new, it used to

be 4 p.m.• Automatic irrigation sys-

tems usually offer the option of activating the system at specified times. Optimum times are between the hours of 12 midnight and 4

a.m. using the odd/even system described

above.• All outdoor hoses

should be equipped with spring-loaded shut-off nozzles

for any use by hand.• Hand watering of plants using a hose

with a spring-loaded shut-off nozzle or a hand-held container can be done at any time.

• More frequent watering of newly laid sod or newly seeded lawns is expected. Please call City Hall to advise if you plan additional wa-tering for new lawns.

There will be penalties for those who don’t obey. The City will have the authority to cut off water to a home which ignores the restric-tions. It will cost $70 to get it turned back on. Fines under the bylaw can go as high as $2000.

Hydro and Southeast Fire Centre crews on the scene of a fire in Wycliffe on Monday evening.

Kimberley Fire Department, Forestry

respond to fireC AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

The Kimberley Fire Depart-ment was called to assist Forestry on Monday evening at the scene of a fire in Wycliffe. The fire was on the west side of Highway 95A.

Assistant Fire Chief Rick Prasad says that the cause is under inves-tigation but the likely cause is lightning striking a power pole.

“The wind blew the line down after it burned for a while. Hydro

had to kill power to deactivate the line.”

The power was out in Kimber-ley for about 45 minutes on Mon-day evening.

Jordan Turner from the South-east Fire Centre says there were two initial attack crews, two heli-copters and a water tender on the scene, as well as the Kimberley Fire Department and the RCMP for traffic control as it was so close to the highway.

“The fire’s size was estimated at .6 hectares and it was quickly con-tained,” Turner said, adding that the fact that it rained at the time helped a great deal.

“It’s now on patrol, we’re just

making sure it’s out,” he said.Prasad says it’s not entirely

normal that the city fire depart-ment would respond to a poten-tial forest fire outside of city limits but resources are stretched right now.

“We are part of the resource pool in the province. If Forestry are short resources, they can call for assistance.

“We spent a couple of hours there, then had to come back be-cause there were signs of prob-lems in Kimberley.”

Those problems turned out to be smoke reported in the Nature Park but Prasad says no fire was found.

JulyFest is hereC AROLYN GR ANT

Bulletin Editor

“Things are going re-ally well,” said JulyFest coordinator Jason Toner, who stopped by the Bul-letin office Monday in between a thousand and one last minute jobs in advance of the JulyFest weekend.

“Sales are going well, we have over 200 bocce teams registered. We’re looking forward to a great weekend.”

Action begins Friday at 4 p.m. with the first games of the Canadian Bocce Championships.

On the stage at the Rotary Drive bocce pits on Friday night will be the Jamie Neve, Good Ol’ Goats, Junk Drawer and Sketch.

The live music con-tinues Saturday as soon as the parade ends, with In Pursuit, Party on High Street, Amy Thiessen, the Bison Brothers, Elk Hunt and Crooked Line play-ing until 8 p.m. at which time the Civic Centre will open.

Beginning at 9 p.m. in the arena are the Honey-mans, followed by The Wild at 10:30 and One Bad Son at 11:30.

SubmiT TedTuesday, June 16,

was a busy day for vol-unteers working on im-provements to our Community Forest, which was this year’s re-cipient of the annual local Community Proj-ect Initiative sponsored by the East Kootenay Ministries.

The Forest has be-come a major destina-tion for recreational en-

joyment in our East Koo-tenay area.

Working in partner-ship with the Cranbrook Community Forest, three projects were planned, designated and completed.

Two of the Cran-brook Community For-est Society directors joined three volunteers — Chris from Highways, Lori from Mines and Pierre from Water

Branch for a weed pull in the Four Lakes area, which resulted in 45 ki-lograms of invasive weeds (mainly Dalma-tion Toadflax) being col-lected for disposal, set-ting back the spread of the weeds, and helping to provide more space for native species to thrive.

Tara Szkorupa let a trail signage group who installed ten new cedar trail signs within the Southern part of forest. These new signs replace some of the original signs which are fading with age.

The two major park-ing lots on Baker Street South received a top grading of new gravel, filling in potholes and levelling the areas. Trails

leading from the parking lots were also improved by sheer manual labour of many wheelbarrow loads spread by hand! At the end of the day a small tractor was uti-lized to help spread the last of the significant loads of gravel for a very successful end result!

A special thanks to Darin Welch with the Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure, who initiated and coor-dinated this project. Our appreciation also goes to Jack, Brent, Erin, Susie, and Jeff and ev-eryone else who partici-pated and gave of their time and efforts!

S u b m i T T e dThe Cranbrook 4-H Multi Club

would like to thank Farm Credit of Canada for their $500 grant from the 4-H Club Fund that has allowed our club to explore more avenues of 4-H.

Our club is not only comprised of animal projects such as lamb, beef and swine but also includes: foods, small engines and clover-buds. 4-H has come a long way from the farm to include those who may live in a more urban setting.

Our Foods Club run by Tanya Molle has explored preserves, bak-ing breads and calzones. This group is working towards a group dinner where they will learn the cooking and the serving aspects of food preparation. The grant has allowed the club to purchase the ingredients needed to make these wonderful

creations.Cloverbuds is for children aged

6-8, which explores all of the proj-ects that are available in 4-H. This year they focused on sewing and outdoor living. All members re-ceived a sewing kit, made a pin cushion and made tents, thanks to the sponsorship of the FCC. This program allows the kids to see which aspect they wish to be involved in once they reach the age of 9.

The Small Engine group restored a farm tractor. The tractor was do-nated to the club, in a non-working order and was then re-built. This brought huge satisfaction and fasci-nation to many of the members, as most of the members had never re-stored an engine before. This group’s leader is Jody Murdoch. The FCC grant allowed the group to pur-chase parts to restore the engine.

C anadian PreSSB.C. teachers have filed leave to

appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada in an ongoing battle with the province over bargaining rights.

The B.C. Teachers Federation is asking the top court to reconsider a B.C. Court of Appeal decision that ruled in the government’s favour in April.

The appeal court found the gov-ernment did not violate teachers’ charter rights when it imposed legis-lation in 2012 that removed their ability to bargain class size and com-

position.Four of the five appeal judges

said teachers were given a meaning-ful negotiation process through con-sultations and collective bargaining leading up to the legislation.

Union president Jim Iker vowed to seek a Supreme Court appeal im-mediately after the ruling was an-nounced, and the organization filed the application in late June.

The province has yet to respond to the application and the Supreme Court will decide at a later date whether to hear the appeal.

From page 1“It’s pretty obvious

the dry period we’ve had — which ended abruptly two hours ago —is pretty serious,” said Coun. Darryl Oakley. “It’s okay to have a brown lawn.”

Coun. Albert Ho-glund said the City won’t be shutting water off right away, there will be warnings issued, but it is serious.

“If there is a major fire, that three inch overflow we have right now will be gone.”

“We are never off vol-untary water restric-tions,” said Mayor Don McCormick. “We’re just saying right now it’s not voluntary any more.”

Coun. Nigel Kitto pointed out that a lot of people simply ignore the voluntary restric-tions. “We need to get tougher,” he said.

Coun. Kent Goodwin said he thought there might be some push back on moving the al-lowable time for eve-ning watering back to 8 p.m.

“The majority of peo-

ple get it,” said McCor-mick. “We are issuing notice that we need to be careful.”

City CAO Scott Som-merville said he did be-lieve that once Kimber-ley residents realized the situation was seri-ous they would comply.

“Since the story on water levels appeared in the Bulletin on Friday we saw a difference in water use of 40 litres per second,” he said.

Kimberley’s golf courses, although large users of water, do not primarily get their water from the Mark Creek system.

Both Bootleg and the Kimberley Golf Course draw their water into holding ponds from the St. Mary River, said Ho-glund. Bootleg also has wells, he said.

“The only golf course that will draw from the Mark Creek system is Trickle Creek. They have a float valve sys-tem. If they have water in their major pond, they don’t draw from the city system.

From Page 1And don’t forget be-

fore the parade, the Kimberley Rotary Club will be at the bocce site bright and early Satur-day morning for a pan-cake breakfast. Break-fast begins at 8 a.m. and goes to 10:45.

As for the big parade, Toner says everything should be ready to roll by 10 a.m. Saturday morning, so bring your lawn chairs. You can also bring a donation of non-perishable food as the Kimberley Food Bank will be collecting

donations along the pa-rade route.

Sunday, bocce and soccer continue as well as the Sullivan Chal-lenge Skateboard race.

The full schedule for the JulyFest weekend is available at kimberley-julyfest.com and up-dates on the JulyFest FaceBook page.

Toner says a few vol-unteers are still needed for a couple of shifts in the beer tent and also for bocce refs. If you can help out email him at [email protected]

With temperatures soaring across the province, the B.C. gov-ernment has an-nounced a Level 3 drought rating in vari-ous regions and have also taken the addition step of suspended an-gling in streams and rivers throughout the South Okanagan.

Effective on July 15th, through to Sept. 15, all streams and riv-ers in the Similkameen drainage as well as the Kettle and West Kettle Rivers, and all tributary streams in these areas will be closed to an-gling. Lake fishing is not affected by the order.

The angling restric-tions have been put in place to protect fish stocks at a time when they are vulnerable due to low flows and high water tempera-tures.

The Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations did not provide a fish-eries biologist for an interview.

According to Lance Page, the manager of the Kootenay Trout Hatchery, high water temperatures aren’t good for fish health.

“Higher tempera-tures put fish under stress and the higher temperatures would create a higher mortal-

ity on catch and re-lease,” he said.

In the context of the East Kootenays, there is currently a Level 2 drought rating, mean-ing that the region is classified as dry. Whether that means angling restrictions will be put in place re-mains to be seen, ac-cording to a ministry spokesperson.

“It would be inap-propriate for the minis-try to speculate on if/when drought condi-tions would warrant angling restrictions in the East Kootenay re-gion,” said Greig Beth-el, a public affairs offi-cer with the ministry.

Currently, there are no angling restrictions in place due to drought conditions in the East Kootenay.

Bethel said govern-

ment biologists are monitoring roughly 60 other key angling streams throughout the province and that additional closures could be possible, de-pending on what drought conditions are.

“Ministry staff are closely monitoring river levels and ecosys-tems and may upgrade the drought level if the weather continues to have a negative effect on stream flows and water supply,” Bethel said.

In addition to an-gling restrictions in the Okanagan, the govern-ment has also placed an angling closure on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands on July 3.

I am surprised how much earlier some of my pe-

rennials are blooming with all the heat we have been having. From watching my tea rose flowers go from bud to done in just a day or so is interesting - also a re-sult of the heat. Howev-er, some of the plants that haven’t bloomed for a couple of years are gearing up for a great display of blooms!

I found that my French lavender didn’t like the fall we had - cold snaps with no snow cover - and failed to leaf out, but they gifted me with an awful lot of tiny seedlings. As they get big enough to trans-plant, I am spreading them out across my gar-dens, with lots left to do-nate to other gardens - Mother Nature takes away, but also gives back!

I finally finished my Virginia Creeper project and am very happy to have that over and done with so I can pursue other interests and sum-mer activities! If you have Virginia Creeper in your yard, keep it pruned yearly or every two years - seven or eight years was way too

long to let ours go unat-tended!

On July 8th, we toured two very differ-ent gardens of two new members. The first was a beautifully done small garden imaginatively utilizing the fenced back yard. From the large covered patio dotted with potted plants there was always a pretty flo-ral treat for the eyes no matter where one looked. The second gar-den was an “inherited” garden, planted by the previous home owner, and the current owner

has done an incredible job of cleaning out the grass that had been choking out the peren-nials. We were able to help identify most of the plants that the new owner didn’t recognize, but there were still some that stumped us. An-other lovely garden against the fence, and a cool, shaded back yard where we held a brief meeting. A huge “Thank You” to both of our July garden owners for shar-ing your gardens with us.

August is coming

sooner than I thought it would, and our club members are looking forward to our annual pot luck barbecue, which is one of two so-cial events in our calen-dar. Spouses or partners are welcome, and this year we are out at St. Mary’s lake again, just a different location, one with cool, shady gar-dens and a lovely beach!

The Garden Club meets the second Wednesday of the month. From October through May, we hold our meetings at Selkirk High School, starting at 7 pm in the Library. From June through Sep-tember, we tour mem-ber gardens, and if nec-essary, hold a short business meeting in the second garden while we enjoy refreshments sup-plied by the hostess. We welcome anyone who would like to learn more about gardening in Kimberley, whether you are new to gardening or new to the Kimberley area. For more informa-tion on our meetings, call Nola at 250-427-1948.

Happy Gardening.

News from the Kimberley Garden Club

Tea roses can go from bud to bloom to done in just a day or two in this heat.

College of the Rock-ies has done it again. For the third year in a row, the College was ranked by international students as number one in Canada and, for the second consecutive year, first in the world for overall average stu-dent satisfaction.

Conducted by the International Graduate Insight Group (i-gradu-ate) the International Student Barometer is the largest annual sur-vey of international stu-dents in the world. It covers four benchmarks – arrival experience, learning, living and sup-port. The College ranked number one in all four categories. Feedback was gathered from international stu-dents from 183 post-sec-ondary institutions in 18 countries world-wide.

“The results point out the outstanding learning and teaching environment created by our faculty and also the exceptional support from everyone at the College, from the front door to our superb on-line environment,” says College President and CEO David Walls.

“This year’s ranking includes placing in the top three in the world for learning support, performance feedback, course organization, quality lectures, lan-guage support, virtual learning, IT support, fi-nance and registration, international office sup-port, accommodations, food services and social activities.”

The College’s ap-

proximately 70 active host families for inter-national students were also rated number one in the world. This result is not a surprise to the International Depart-ment.

“The ranking of our host families as number one is a testament to the Cranbrook community and the wonderful and nurturing environment they provide for our stu-dents,” Executive Direc-tor, International and Regional Development Patricia Bowron says. “Our ability to deliver a great experience for our students starts with our host families.”

Acting as a homestay host allows local fami-lies to learn from and experience a different culture while providing room and board for the student. Remuneration is provided. Anyone in-terested in hosting an international student is

encouraged to contact

Saori at (250) 489-8248.In addition to the

i-graduate survey, the BC government also ad-ministered their own 2014 BC International Student Survey. Results of that survey confirmed that the College rates well above average with the student body in areas of interacting with instructors, academic expectations, approach-ability of staff, admis-sions and advising pro-cesses and more.

Annually the College welcomes approximate-ly 200 international stu-dents with the vast ma-jority attending the Cranbrook main cam-pus. In the 2014 – 2015 academic year, the Col-lege welcomed students from 38 different coun-tries who enrolled in a variety of programs in-cluding business, tour-ism and English.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 2015

Since its reintroduction on the grounds of the South Carolina Capitol in 1961 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, the Confederate flag has been the source of controversy with a reg-ularity approaching that of a Madonna comeback album. Sadly, it was recently been thrust into the news once more be-cause some kid who loved it went crazy and committed an atrocity. A racially charged atrocity. Yes. Again.

Proponents of the flag fiercely insist it is not a racist symbol of slavery but a banner illustriously heralding their culture, heritage and inde-pendence. The same way a skull and cross-bones is a symbol of rebirth. And the swas-tika is just an emblem of Caucasian pride.

Anything can represent anything if one is familiar with the code. A red bandana sticking out of a back pocket invokes a cer-tain meaning, yet when tied around the neck of a yellow lab is decidedly less pruri-ent. It’s all context. Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni. That doesn’t mean restaurants will start serving feathers and cheese as a side dish to barbecue dinners anytime soon.

But it is disingenuous to the extreme to suggest that when the rebel flag is worn or brandished in the first state to secede from the Union, that it isn’t meant as a wink-wink, nudge-nudge, knowing and shared racist commentary with no need to be

verbalized. The ultimate dog whistle in the key of Dixie.

Besides, it’s not really THE Confederate flag; just a Confederate flag. It’s not even one of three official flags used during the war. The original Stars and

Bars looked too much like the Star Span-gled Banner and confused troops on both sides. The 2nd flag had much too much white and was often mistaken for a flag of surrender. And the third was like the 2nd, only with a big red stripe at the end. And then the war was over. Except it wasn’t. And in some places still isn’t.

The recent resurgence of General Lee’s Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virgin-ia gives proof that though the War of Northern Aggression has been over for 150 years, the flame of bigotry remains alive. Why? Because old times there are not for-gotten. The South never quit fighting; they

just took an intermission. The pause that refreshes.

And their protestations of innocence might be a tad more believable if the states that insist on flying the flag over state-spon-sored Confederate monuments weren’t the same ones that defied integration way past the bitter end, using everything at their disposal including police batons, dogs and fire hoses.

“It’s about states’ rights.” Yeah, especial-ly those rights that include owning your labor force. They may call it macaroni, but it’s really white supremacy. In Dixieland, I’ll take my stand and live and die in Dixie. And Republicans wonder why they can’t attract black voters.

Come on, you guys. It’s the sixth year of the 2nd decade of the 21st century. Pull your Confederate flags off of government lands. Let folks fly or paint or tattoo them on their own property, which as you may or may not have noticed, no longer in-cludes people. As George W. Bush famous-ly said, “the past is over.” Look away. Look away. Look away Dixieland.

Former Ice forward Sylvester signs in AustriaTaylor rocc a

Longtime Kootenay Ice forward Dustin Syl-vester will continue his professional hockey ca-reer in Austria after sign-ing a one-year contract with the Dornbirner EC Bull Dogs on Monday.

Sylvester, a 26-year-old native of Kelowna, suited up in 308 WHL games with the Koote-nay Ice between 2004-05 and 2009-10.

The 5-foot-7, 176-pound pivot posted 111

goals and 252 points over his WHL career.

Since gradu-ating from the WHL, Sylvester has suited up in the American League (AHL) as well as in Eu-rope.

S y l v e s t e r spent the past two seasons in Austria (Erste Bank Eishockey Liga) with the Vienna Capitals, tallying 28 goals and 23 assists for 51

points in 98 games.Prior to his time in

Austria, Sylves-ter played 126 games with the AHL Abbotsford Heat, registering 26 goals and 31 assists for 57 points.

Sylvester was originally draft-

ed by the Kootenay Ice with the 33rd pick in the second round of the 2004 WHL Bantam Draft.

During the 2009-10 season, he was named to the WHL’s Eastern Conference Second All-Star team.

The Dornbirner EC Bull Dogs missed the post-season after finish-ing 10th in the 12-team Austrian league last sea-son.

The Bull Dogs play out of Dornbirn, Austria, a city of approximately 47,000 people located near Austria’s western border.

du Toit shares lead at B.C. AmateurAfter finalizing move to Arizona State, Kimberley native fires 68 to claim share of lead at Fairview Mountain Golf Club in Oliver

Townsman File PhoTo

Kimberley’s Jared du Toit, pictured during the 2014 season, carded an open-ing-round 68 to put himself in contention at the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship at Fairview Mountain Golf Club in Oliver on Tuesday.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

This week is turning into a pretty momen-tous time for Kimber-ley’s Jared du Toit.

Prior to first-round action at the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Champi-onship, it was revealed du Toit had been grant-ed his release from the golf program with the University of Idaho Van-dals in order to sign with the Arizona State Uni-versity (ASU) Sun Devils and renowned coach Tim Mickelson, brother of PGA Tour star Phil Mickelson.

If that news wasn’t exciting enough for the former Selkirk Second-ary School student, he carded an open-ing-round score of 68 (four-under par) at Fair-view Mountain Golf Club in Oliver to launch his name to the top of the leaderboard at the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship.

“ASU has always been a dream school of mine,” du Toit said over the phone from Oliver on Tuesday.

“The whole [Mickel-son] family…in the blood there, they’ve got a lot of golf experience. If I can take advantage of all the opportunities down there -- they’ve got so much golf knowledge down there -- hopefully I can better my game and take it to the next level.”

The Sun Devils men’s golf program has a long and successful history, with 20 NCAA confer-ence championships to its name, along with six NCAA regional champi-onships and two NCAA

Division I Champion-ships.

Notable alumni of the program include Phil Mickelson, Paul Casey, Bob Gilder and Billy Mayfair.

Head coach Tim Mickelson was named the Pac-12 Conference Men’s Golf Coach of the Year in 2015, his fourth year with ASU.

In addition to its deep list of alumni, ASU boasts a deep active ros-ter, including the world’s top-ranked men’s ama-teur golfer, Jon Rahm-Rodriguez.

“The team is pretty deep,” du Toit said. “Qualifying for that team won’t be an easy guarantee. There’s going to be competition left, right and centre.

“It’s going to be excit-ing. When I do load up for that first event, there’s going to be a lot of excitement.”

du Toit is ranked 162nd in the world men’s amateur golf rankings as of this week. Within Canada, the Kimberley native is ranked fourth on the men’s amateur list.

He spent two sea-sons with the Vandals and though he’s excited to join the Sun Devils’ program, leaving the University of Idaho wasn’t an easy decision.

“I’ve got a lot of good friends on and off the golf team,” du Toit said. “It’s definitely going to be tough not going down there in September. But when one door shuts, another one opens.”

In celebration of his transfer to one of the NCAA’s most prestigious

golf programs, du Toit walked through an open door at Fairview Moun-tain Golf Club on Tues-day afternoon, firing a first-round score of 68.

“A lot of ups and downs today,” du Toit said. “It was a pretty big struggle on the front nine and then on the back nine things started coming around. I’ll take that into tomorrow.”

The freshly-minted Sun Devil dropped back-to-back eagles on the 11th and 12th holes en route to a sparkling six-under 30 on the back nine at Fairview Moun-tain.

On the 540-yard, par-five No. 11, du Toit hit a long iron to the green with his second shot be-fore draining the putt for an all-too-easy eagle.

On the 365-yard, par-four No. 12, the feat wasn’t quite as simple.

“They had the tees up, but I still needed driver to get there,” du Toit said. “I hit the nicest shot I’ve hit in a while -- this high, soft-landing driver -- I hit it to eight feet and was fortunate enough to make that putt.”

The back-to-back ea-gles jump-started du Toit, who had opened his round with a two-over 38 on the front nine, including a nasty dou-ble-bogey on the 544-yard, par-five fifth hole.

From there, du Toit rounded out his day with back-to-back bird-ies on 16 and 17, which helped vault him to the top of the leaderboard as of print deadline on Tuesday afternoon.

At the end of the day,

du Toit came into the clubhouse with two ea-gles, three birdies, 11 pars, one bogey and one double.

“They’ve got it set up pretty easy, I think,” du Toit said. “They had the tees up today and a lot of the pins were pretty open. The scoring aver-age…will be pretty low.

“Later on in the week, you’ll definitely see some low numbers…When the wind gets up it plays tougher, but there wasn’t much wind today.

“If you keep the blood off the card, you’ll defi-nitely have your chances to make birdies and if you’re lucky, make some eagles. Play pretty smart and I think you can eat this place up.”

With a number of competitors still on the course as of print dead-line Tuesday, du Toit found himself sharing a tie for the lead with Ian Kim of Vancouver’s Ha-zelmere Country Club.

Second-round action gets underway Wednes-day at 8:30 a.m. (Moun-tain), with du Toit slated to tee off at 2:50 p.m. (Mountain).

du Toit isn’t the only East Kootenay local in competition at the 113th B.C. Amateur Golf Championship.

His younger brother, Russell, carded a four-over par 76 to sit tied for 37th.

Hailing from the Creston Golf Club, Kar-son O’Keefe fired an even-par 72 and is tied for 12th on opening day.

Scott Merriam, of the Cranbrook Golf Club, scored a first-round 78 (six-over) and remains

tied for 48th after 18 holes.

Bryan Smithson, the only other representa-tive from the Creston Golf Club, came into the clubhouse at eight-over (80) and tied for 61st.

Justin Sawley, of the Kimberley Golf Club, registered a 10-over 86 and sits tied for 67th.

Jacob Bowes, of Trickle Creek Golf Re-sort, pencilled in an 11-over 87 and is tied for

72nd heading into day two.

All scores and rank-ings are as of print dead-line Tuesday. Approxi-mately half the field was still on the course as of 5 p.m. (Mountain).

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be overwhelmed by everything you see as you en-counter power play after power play. Whether to get involved in one of these control games will be your decision. What you do could surprise others. Tonight: A new beginning is possible once you rid yourself of frustration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will try to explain where you are coming from, but some-one else might decide to throw his or her issues into the mix as well.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others listen to what you have to say. You are open-minded and full of ideas. A partner could be very demanding, angry and sometimes even controlling. You are likely to get into a tiff with this person. Tonight: Avoid a difficult situation, and you will be much happier. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to get away from the wild interactions happening around you. Your temper could flare up suddenly and catch you and others off guard.

Dear Annie: The real estate agent who sold me my home nine years ago periodically phones my house, asking whether I plan on selling, and offering his assistance. We have a courteous, professional relationship. I never had a problem with him or his company. Recently, I was a guest at a large customer appreciation event sponsored by this real estate company. I sat quietly by myself. One of the company’s main employees ridiculed me loudly, making a spectacle of me, pointing me out to others, making fun of my looks and my hair. I am a neat, clean, conservative senior citizen. She even walked past me and laughed loudly in my face. I had never met this woman before. I was so horrified that I said nothing and left. I do plan on selling my home. However, after my horrific treatment at the “customer appreciation” event, I will not be using that real estate company. If my former real estate agent asks me why I have listed my home with another company, what should I tell him? No number of promotional events will ever bring back a customer who has been so terribly mistreated by an employee. -- Ridiculed in Rapid City Dear Ridiculed: We cannot imagine any company allowing an employee to behave like this in front of potential clients. Was she drunk? Are you certain she worked there? Did others notice? Please don’t wait until the real estate agent contacts you. Call him or his company and report this incident. Explain exactly what happened and give as many details as possible. They need to know that this woman is out of control and is costing them business. Dear Annie: A few months ago, my niece announced her wedding date for next summer. She selected the wedding dress and the venue and put down deposits. The couple recently decided they cannot live apart and had a small civil ceremony with only their parents present. They have announced that they will still have the full wedding next year for the rest of their family and friends. While we have not seen any invitations yet (it’s early), we are not sure how to handle a gift for a wedding that is a year after the actual ceremony. I would prefer to send the couple a gift now to help them start their married life together, but I wouldn’t then send a second gift in a year. I’m also not sure I will attend the second wedding, since it’s so long after the fact. It seems inappropriate. Tell me, Annie, is this how weddings are done these days? -- Confused Family Member Dear Confused: No. Most weddings are still done in a more traditional fashion, although, we admit, there seem to be many more variations these days. Nonetheless, if invited, you are obligated only for one wedding gift, whether you send it now or later. (Either is fine.) And please don’t judge the couple so harshly by not attending the second wedding. Think of it instead as a big party to celebrate their marital bliss and enjoy yourself.

Dale Honeyman 1924 - 2015

Mom was reunited with her soul mate Harold Honeyman on January 15, 2015, at 90 years of age. She proudly served with the Royal Canadian Air Force Women’s Division from 1943 to 1946, and was a long term member and supporter of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch

67 in Kimberley and then in Cranbrook at Branch 24. Mom loved to help out where she could and was most comfortable doing so from behind the scenes. She passed on her passion for good food and cooking to her family and she was known for her nurturing spirit in the garden and the support she freely gave to her children, their families and those who spent time with her.

Mom will be lovingly remembered by her sons Ray, Gordon (Cynthia), Collin (Laura) and Keith (Sally); as well as by her grandchildren Michael, Brian, Lindsay, Rachelle, Carly and Matthew; her two great granddaughters Jocelyn and Frankie Dale and numerous nieces and nephews. Mom was predeceased by her husband Harold and her son Arthur.

A special thank you to the staff at Joseph Creek Care Village and East Kootenay Regional Hospital for their care and support.

Please join our family in a Celebration Of Mom’s Life on Saturday, July 18, 2015 in the McPherson Funeral Home Reception Room in Cranbrook at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a memorial donation in Mom’s honour may do so to the: Cranbrook Regional Hospital Auxiliary, 13 - 24th Avenue North, Cranbrook British Columbia, V1C 3H9 or the charity of your choice.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at:

www.mcphersonfh.com

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

AssociAted PressCAPE CANAVERAL,

Fla. - Pluto’s tiny, icy world is getting major attention for its first visit by a spacecraft, NASA’s New Horizons, the last stop on a planetary tour of the solar system a half-century in the mak-ing.

The moment of clos-est approach for the New Horizons space-

craft came around 7:49 a.m. EDT Tuesday, cul-minating an epic jour-ney from planet Earth that spanned more than 3 billion miles and 9 1/2 years.

Based on everything NASA knows, New Hori-zons was pretty much straight on course for the historic encounter, sweeping within 7,700 miles of Pluto at 31,000

mph. It actually hap-pened 72 seconds earli-er and about 40 miles closer than anticipated.

Tuesday’s flyby - with the closest approach being the approximate distance between Seat-tle and Sydney, or New York and Mumbai - is expected to open up new ground on the last unexplored planetary territory of our solar sys-

tem.The unprecedented

encounter was the last stop on NASA’s grand tour of the planets over the past half-century. New Horizons arrived at the small icy world after an epic journey that began 9 1/2 years ago, back when Pluto was still considered a full-fledged planet. Here’s a rundown on Pluto, a 20th-century discovery about to become the 21st-century darling of astronomers:

DISCOVERYPluto is the only

planet (OK, now former planet) in our solar sys-tem discovered by an

American. Astronomer Clyde Tombaugh spot-ted the dot in 1930. The name Pluto came from a British schoolgirl, Vene-tia Burney, then 11, based on the mythologi-cal god of the under-world.

Tombaugh died at age 90 in 1997, nine years before New Hori-zons took flight. A bit of his ashes is on board.

Both of Tombaugh’s two children, now in their 70s, were at the New Horizons mission operations centre for Tuesday’s celebration.

FIVE MOONSBig moon Charon

was discovered in 1978,

followed by little moons Nix and Hydra in 2005, Kerberos in 2011 and Styx in 2012. The Hubble Space Telescope re-vealed all four baby moons. Astronomers stuck to underworld un-dertones when it came to the names.

New Horizons will hunt for more moons, but at this point, they would have to be pretty elusive. The Pluto em-pire, complete with six bodies, at least for now, is like its own mini solar system.

FORGET SUNGLASSESPluto is so far from

the sun - between 2.8 billion and 4.6 billion

miles - that twilight reigns. At high noon on Pluto, it looks as though it would be dawn or dusk on Earth.

It takes 248 years for Pluto to orbit the sun. Thus, it’s only made it about one-third of the way around the sun since its discovery in 1930. Every so often, Neptune’s orbit exceeds Pluto’s, putting Neptune slightly farther out.

FIRST A PLANET, THEN IT’S NOT

Pluto is the only planet to get kicked out of the solar system club.

Just seven months after New Horizons rocketed away from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 2006, the Internation-al Astronomical Union declassified Pluto as the ninth planet for techni-cal reasons. Instead, it became a dwarf planet.

The decision left the solar system with eight full-fledged planets, with Mercury replacing Pluto as the smallest.

New Horizons scien-tists, as well as NASA’s leaders, are hoping the new pictures will restore Pluto’s planet status.

THE TWILIGHT ZONEPluto is the biggest

object in the icy Kuiper Belt, also known as the third zone after the inner rocky planets and outer gaseous giants.

The Kuiper Belt is full of comets and other small frosty objects. It’s named after the late Dutch-American as-tronomer Gerard Kui-per, who proposed a bevy of small bodies be-yond Neptune back in the 1950s. The New Horizons team hopes to go after a smaller Kuiper Belt object following the Pluto flyby, provided a mission extension is ap-proved.

Spotlight shining on Pluto at cold outskirts of solar system

New Horizons has obtained impressive new images of Pluto and its large moon Charon that highlight their compositional diversity. The images, whose colours are exaggerated, were taken July 13 at 3:38 am ET, a day before the spacecraft’s historic flyby. (NASA)
