Credit cards stolen from truck
BULLETIN STAFF
Two youths, including one from Kimberley, have been arrested fol-lowing an attempt to use a stolen credit card.
Cst. Katie Forgeron of the Cran-brook RCMP reports that on June 5th, Cranbrook RCMP received a
call from a resident advising that his truck had been broken into over-night and that several items were stolen, including bank and credit cards. Later that evening the resi-dent called back to advise that he had received a call from his credit card company stating that someone was trying to use the credit card at the Casino of the Rockies.

From Page 1Hawes says she has the expe-
rience, passion and a strong commitment to the region need-ed for the role of MLA.
“I haven’t been a card carry-ing member of the NDP for very long but the NDP philosophy has always lined up with mine,” she said.
In 2005, Hawes was in a mountain biking accident that left her quadriplegic, but that hasn’t slowed her down. After rehabilitation and learning to live a new way, Hawes has be-come a powerful advocate for accessibility and inclusion.
“I have had significant per-sonal challenges, but that hasn’t limited me,” says Hawes. “Serv-ing my community is my pas-sion. The opportunity to repre-
sent our region at the provincial level is an honour, and my expe-rience in local government and as a local entrepreneur has given me the skills and understanding of what it takes to get the job done.”
“After more than a decade of neglect under the BC Liberals, our public education, healthcare and our natural environment need to be top priority,” added Hawes. “I share those local val-ues and the vision that we de-serve a government committed to serving our communities. I plan to be an MLA who will con-sistently bring our voice to Victo-ria.”
Hawes said it did take some reflection after she was ap-proached by members of the provincial NDP to run in this
riding.I gave it some good thought,”
she said. “It’s an amazing hon-our to be asked and it comes at a time in my life when it’s possible. My kids are grown. I felt in a real-ly good place. The timing feels really right. I’m excited by the opportunity to represent diversi-ty in Victoria.”
“I have chosen to support Spring because she is one of the most thoughtful, productive, positive, admirable people I have ever met,” says retired teacher and NDP member Anne Jardine. “She lives her life bril-liantly, and she is a strong advo-cate for people with disabilities. I think her voice is one that is much needed in our legislature.”
Hawes says current MLA Norm Macdonald leaves a lega-
cy of exceptional work on behalf of the region, including the drive to keep Jumbo wild. She plans to continue that work and will be starting by meeting with people throughout the region. She will be in Kimberley next Monday.
To stay in touch with Ms. Hawes, people can follow her on facebook or get in touch with her directly at 250-688-0271 or [email protected]. To vote in BCNDP nomination pro-cess, people need to be residents in the riding and members in good standing of the Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP Constitu-ency Association for 90 days. To become a member, sign up on-line at www.bcndp.ca or contact Ms. Hawes directly.

Recently, Premier Christy Clark was wit-nessing the signing of a so-called agreement between the Guang-zhou Gas Group from China and a proposed Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant to pur-chase LNG. But it is very important that citizens take a closer look at what was actu-ally going on here.
This was a photo op, pure and simple.
And just like all the other LNG photo ops, it will be loudly touted by Premier Clark. But it is a photo op of nothing.
This agreement is not really a deal in any normal sense of the word. The agree-ment is not in any way binding on either the seller or the buyer. Neither signatory has actually agreed to do anything. It is simply an illusion.
We are now in a pre-election year, so
you can expect to see even more of these agreements that ar-en’t agreements and announcements that aren’t announce-ments. And you can expect to see a great deal of public money spent trying to con-vince you that it is all real.
Let’s remember the last batch of BC Liber-al promises that we were fed prior to the 2013 election. We were promised that there would be 17
LNG plants, with the first to be up and op-erating by 2015. That
never happened. Now we are promised that there will be LNG plants up and operat-ing by 2020. Don’t be-lieve it.
The BC Liberals also promised 100,000 new jobs in LNG. The current number? Zero.
The BC Liberals promised a $100 bil-lion Prosperity Fund from LNG revenues. The actual revenue from LNG? Zero.
The BC Liberals promised to eliminate
the provincial debt which was $36 billion when the BC Liberals took over and now, with contractual obli-gations, is up to $168 billion, with record debt coming in the next number of years if Site C goes ahead. The chance of getting rid of the provincial debt? Zero.
So as this election approaches, it is im-portant to remember the illusion of doing something is very dif-ferent from actually
doing something.Every four years,
with each election, cit-izens have the oppor-tunity to set the stan-dard for our elected officials. We should insist that they are ca-pable enough to keep themselves informed, and we should insist that they tell us truth.
And we should hold them accountable by not voting for them when they fail.

From Page 1With the assistance
of staff from the Casino, RCMP were able to identify two youths as being in possession of the credit cards. Both youths were arrested. One of the youths is currently the subject of an Intensive Support and Supervision Order for a separate offence and will remain in cus-tody until seen before the courts. The second
youth, a 15 year old from Kimberley, was also arrested and will remain in custody until he also appears before the courts.
“The Cranbrook RCMP would like to thank the Casino of the Rockies for all its assis-tance in this investiga-tion. Without their support this incident might have remained unsolved.”

The Cranbrook/Kim-berley Hospice Society has netted a $5,000 grant from the provin-cial government that will go towards their op-erations in the area.
The society provides comfort to to individu-als at their end stage of life and support to their families during and fol-lowing that time, with a focus on caring and lis-tening rather than cur-ing.
Jeanne Davidson, the executive director for the Cranbrook/Kimber-ley Hospice Society, welcomed the grant.
"Funding is always exciting and it allows us to maintain all of our free services in Cran-brook, Kimberley and the surrounding areas," said Davidson. "We thank Honourable Bill Bennett and the provin-cial government for the opportunity to spend even more money."
It will be put towards the society's extensive programming for clients who are experiencing difficult circumstances.
We offer companion-ing to clients who are at end-of-life and then be-
reavement for their fam-ilies as well, for up to a year, and a rainbows program for children—a large suite of bereave-ment services actually," Davidson continued.
Services provided by
the society include cli-ent visits in the home, hospital or health care facility, end-of-life vig-ils, bereavement phone
support and a support group, a walk and talk program and a Rain-bows program for chil-dren who have experi-enced loss—not neces-sarily from death.
All services are free of charge and run most-ly by volunteers, who complete a 33-hour training program. Ser-vices can be be ac-cessed directly by con-tacting the society, while referrals are also made through physi-cians, home and com-munity care facilities and other clients.
In addition to fund-ing from the provincial government, the non-profit society also receives support through in memoriam gifts, the United Way, fundraising projects, donations, member-ships, foundations and service clubs.
Hospice society receives $5,000 grant

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett presented a $5,000 grant in funding to the Cranbrook/Kimberley Hospice Society on Friday. The money will go towards the society’s programs and services—offered free of charge—that support families and clients who are experiencing end-of-life situations.
For The BulleTin
On June 2nd, 2016, Cranbrook/ Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit, along with General Duty members of the Cranbrook Detachment and the Police Dog Ser-vice, executed a search warrant in the 300 block of 8th Ave S. Two per-sons, a male and a fe-male, were arrested on scene and were trans-ported to the Cranbrook RCMP Detachment.
Members conducted a search of the resi-dence and located evi-dence to corroborate Drug Trafficking.
A 42 year old male and a 32 year old fe-
male, both residents of Cranbrook, are facing charges of Possession for the Purpose of Traf-ficking and Possession of a Scheduled Sub-stance. Both are to ap-pear in court September 6th, 2016.
“The Crime Reduc-tion Unit has been working tirelessly trying to keep drugs off the streets of Cranbrook. No city is immune to the effects of drugs but the collective teamwork of the detachment is defi-nitely quelling the influx of drugs into Cran-brook”.

“My future starts when I wake up every morning. Every day I find people doing in-sane things around me keeping me alert and laughing.”
R ecently I acquired a new friend who, I discovered later, is an ardent fan of various sports, including
hockey. Watching him watching a Stanley Cup game on my TV is a delight. He is so passionate. I invite him over to my place whenever the team he has elected to be his champions this time plays so that I can enjoy the thrills. At this juncture he is in favour of Pittsburgh and was a tad offended when I suggested that Penguins didn’t sound like an apt name for athletes, not when you see them standing about with eggs on their feet.
Just the other evening he bounced into my house at the end of the first period ju-bilant because he’d caught the start of the game on his computer and the Penguins were up one goal. But then, as soon as he had settled into the chesterfield, the oppo-sition scored and Jake was immediately crestfallen and pessimistic as all get out. To him it was becoming the end of his world, whilst for me the fun was just be-ginning.
Personally, if I try to look back over my less-than-illustrious career, I see no sign of
fierce competition. I never played com-petitive sports competitively, often to the chagrin of my more avid companions. As an Englishman, I am almost ashamed to admit that, apart from one early school where sports were compulsory on pain of death, I never played soccer, rugby or cricket which, in spite of all appearances, is a very dangerous sport. I was knocked out cold twice whilst relegated to the posi-
tion of umpire.My beloved wife, how-
ever, was a competitor and played net ball for her town and grass hockey for her county. My daughter is a fierce competitor both in team sports and individual hair-raising activities like
down-hill ski racing but my son and I seem to have been constructed of differ-ent material; we strive to do well, to com-pete and outdo ourselves but never have been team players.
My new friend Jake, however, I am dis-covering, is a product of sport competition and it is obvious that he has become a manic team supporter and thus, even if he doesn’t actually foam at the mouth, is amusing to watch.
I have at times been a fan of the teams in which my offspring have played. I’ve watched my granddaughter playing soc-cer on gravel in a Vancouver deluge and not been too enthusiastic, and I’ve sat
glued to my bench as my grandson stood, his brain in neutral, his baseball glove on his head, way out in left field. As my sister explained, it seems that today’s grandpar-ents are compelled to struggle out to see their children’s children disporting them-selves in competitions, and attempt to be ardent fans of those teams.
Anyway, Jake will probably be over later to watch Pittsburgh win or lose against some Sharks or other. I will try to get involved and not laugh too much at my friend’s antics. I find being a fan hard enough when I know someone on the team and wish him or her well, but if they’re all strangers and they’re not play-ing for Canada, I can’t get into the game.
In fact, if I had been born when some folk believe I entered this crazy world thousands of years ago, and been expect-ed to join a team called The Ancient Brits, and who wore blue woad and whose job was to drive off those naughty Roman in-vaders following Julius Caesar, I would probably have ducked out of that hopeless Gaulish rag-tag army, deserted for lack of interest, and made more interesting at-tempts to climb to the tops of those whack-ing monoliths at Stonehenge or practiced harder at running away. I just like to better my own efforts not beat any other team. Probably, I wouldn’t even have watched the fracas and thus not got myself into such a sweaty turmoil, as does my friend Jake.

TAYLOR ROCC ASports Editor
Cranbrook and Kim-berley’s Rocky Moun-tain Rogues Rugby Foot-ball Club (RFC) is head-ed back to the Saratoga Cup following a decisive 44-0 victory over the rival Elk Valley Bulls RFC in Kootenay Rugby Union action this past weekend.
“I think we had a good week of practice, both Tuesday and Thursday we had 20-plus of our core guys out at practice,” said Jared MacDonald, who suits up for the Rogues. “We had real good training sessions Tuesday [and] Thursday. The same guys showed up Satur-day and everybody knew their job, knew their role and knew ex-actly what they were going to do going into the game.
“It’s a great group of guys around this area, that’s a big part of it. It’s a family. It’s a good group of guys. We play hard, but we have a lot of fun.”
The Rogues put forth a dominating perfor-mance Saturday at Col-lege of the Rockies in
Cranbrook, shutting out the Bulls only a week after falling by a 52-31 margin in Fernie.
“We came back in the second half there, but it’s hard because we’re struggling for guys each game,” said Todd Larsen, a member of the Rogues, following last week’s loss in Fernie.
With Saturday’s bounce-back win, the Rogues have claimed two of the three games thus far in the four-game season series be-tween the two clubs, with the other a 41-14 triumph in mid-May.
As far as Kootenay Rugby Union standings go, the Rogues hold 11 points while the Bulls sit at five. With a maximum of five points available in each match (a win is worth three points with bonus points awarded based on number of tries) and only one re-match remaining in the series between the only two clubs in the Koote-nay Rugby Union, Satur-day’s resounding romp over the Bulls provided the Rogues with a berth into the Saratoga Cup — British Columbia’s pro-vincial championship for division three rugby.
“Cranbrook is a much improved team this year,” Bulls captain Adam Foley told Bryn Catton of the Fernie Free Press, following Elk Valley’s 52-31 triumph May 28.
According to Mac-Donald, the Rogues ha-ven’t been to the Sarato-ga Cup since making consecutive appearanc-es in 2009 and 2010, so Saturday’s victory is a big one for the squad.
“It’s obviously huge,” MacDonald said. “We have good-calibre rugby in the Kootenay area, but when you’re going to provincials, you’re playing teams that come from all over the prov-ince… It’s a huge test for the Rogues going down there. The calibre [of rugby] rises that much more.”
The Saratoga Cup brings together teams from four conferences across the province — the Mainland/Island, Okanagan, Interior and Kootenays. The 2016 Saratoga Cup is sched-uled for Sept. 17 to 18 at McNicoll Park Middle School in Penticton.
The Penticton Harle-quins RFC claimed the 2015 Saratoga Cup, with
Elk Valley RFC having previously won back-to-back provincial crowns in 2013 and 2014.
Even though the Rogues have booked their ticket to the provin-cial tournament, they aren’t quite ready to look that far ahead. Rocky Mountain RFC heads to Penticton this weekend (June 10 to 12) where they will compete in Sunfest 2016 — an annu-al tournament hosted by the Harlequins.
Following Sam Steele Days in Cranbrook, the Rogues and Bulls will lock horns one final time in 2016, when they take to the pitch June 24 (2 p.m.) in Fernie.
Though the team is deep into its season, Rocky Mountain Rogues RFC is always looking for new recruits and those wanting to get involved. Anyone interested is en-couraged to send a pri-vate message via the team’s Facebook page, which can be found by searching Rocky Moun-tain Rogues.
The Rogues practice every Tuesday (7 p.m. at Marysville Elementary School) and Thursday (7 p.m. at College of the Rockies, Cranbrook).

Wasa Lake Triathlon registration coming to a close
Courtesy GeriCk sports Wasa Lake triathLon
Registration is about to close for the annual Gerick Sports Wasa Lake Triathlon, which takes place this weekend in the East Kootenay.
Taylor rocc aSports Editor
With the big day fast approaching, registra-tion for the Gerick Sports Wasa Lake Tri-athlon is set to close Thursday, June 9.
The annual Wasa Lake Triathlon is slated for this coming week-end — Saturday, June 11, and Sunday, June 12, at Wasa Lake Provincial Park. As of print dead-line Tuesday, a total of 798 participants have already registered for the event, including 323 registrants in the elite Olympic challenge.
“The event attracts families from all over B.C., Alberta and north-west U.S.A.,” said Char-lie Cooper, race director, in a media release. “The growth in recent years
has been led by the number of young triath-letes coming with their families. We are proud to cater for all ages, with the first event day being dedicated to our young-er competitors.”
The TriKids Triath-lon kick-starts the week-end on Saturday, with a variety of race options for competitors based on age. TriKids compet-itors will run anywhere from 500 metres to three kilometres, bike 1.5 km to 10 km and swim 50 m to 300 m.
“We want these young triathletes to love the sport, experience the competition,” Coo-per said, “but above all, it’s about participation and have a fun weekend with the family.”
As of print deadline Tuesday, there are al-
ready 197 registered participants for the Tri-Kids Triathlon. TriKids competitors receive ori-enteering and prepara-tion in order to make the big day memorable and safe. The race is sched-uled to begin Saturday at 10 a.m.
Sunday features the big race day, with both the sprint and stan-dard-distance events for individuals and relay teams. There’s a grand total of $4,500 on the line, with $1,000 each awarded to the top fin-isher in the female and male categories.
The standard event challenges participants with a 1.5-km swim, 40-km bike and 10-km run. The sprint triathlon is targeted for partici-pants ages 16 and older, featuring a 750-m swim,
20-km cycle and five-km run.
The sprint triathlon, for individuals and relay teams, is slated to begin at 8 a.m., with the Olym-pic event getting under-way at 8:30 a.m.
With a number of top triathletes in the west expected to participate, there are many records on the line in 2016, many of which were set back in 2008.
The record for fastest sprint by a woman was recorded by Tanya Salo-mon (1:04:59) in 2008. The fastest spring by a man was set by Trevor Williams (54:32) in 2004. The fastest women’s Olympic time on record belongs to Kerry Spear-ing (2:03:14), having registered it in 2008. An-drew Russell is the hold-er of the fastest men’s
Olympic time (1:50:32), also set in 2008. Finally, the quickest Olympic relay team on record is “Break a Leg,” featuring Seth Bitting and Ryan Cain (1:57:03) in 2008.
With the event taking place this weekend, reg-istration is well within the last-minute registra-tion phase, meaning it will cost interested par-ticipants $130 for the youth sprint, $150 for the adult sprint or $155 for the Olympic event. TriKids registration re-mains at $55.
Finally, registration for relay teams varies based on team size and event, ranging from $90 to $180.
The annual Gerick Sports Wasa Lake Tri-athlon is a Triathlon B.C. sanctioned event.
Jonas siegelCanadian Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Sharks head coach Pete DeBoer called it the biggest fix his team needs to make if they have any hope of rallying in the Stanley Cup final.
On the verge of elim-ination after a 3-1 loss in Game 4, the Sharks have given up the first goal in every game so far. They have yet to play with a lead for even a second, trailing the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1 in the best-of-seven series with Game 5 ahead at Consol Energy Center on Thursday night.
“We’ve been chasing the game the whole se-ries by not scoring first,” DeBoer said after Mon-day’s loss. “We have to find a way to get on the board earlier in the game instead of chasing it all night.”
The Sharks are 10-3 in the playoffs when they score first and 3-6 when they don’t. They also owned the second-best record during the regu-lar season when hitting the board first, boasting a 35-6-2 mark, which trailed only the Presi-dent’s Trophy-winning Washington Capitals.
DeBoer said the pressure increased when the opponent notched the game’s first goal. It ruined the rhythm of the bench, he said. Rolling four lines suddenly became less enticing with a deficit because there was more urgency to score or cre-ate a scoring chance and more imperative to play certain players more often.
“I don’t know what it is,” he said of the inabili-ty to score first. “But it’s been a big issue these (four) games.”
San Jose has had to chase its way back into every game of the series, rallying on multiple oc-casions to even the score, but never to actu-ally get ahead and play with the lead.
The Sharks got their first and only lead of the series when Joonas Donskoi scored the overtime winner in Game 3.
The Western Confer-ence champs came out with good energy in front of an enthusiastic home crowd at SAP Center in Game 4, one that was clad in teal T-shirts emblazoned with sharks circling around two penguins on a lonely chunk of ice.
Despite those en-couraging opening min-utes, the Sharks could not score. Instead it was Penguins defenceman Ian Cole, he of zero goals
previously in the play-offs, landing the first marker on a rebound.
Cole was wide open on the weak side of the ice when Phil Kessel fired a shot from a bad angle at Martin Jones, the Sharks slow to find their bearings and their foes after a line change.
“You don’t want to give up the first goal, es-pecially on that tough change,” Sharks centre Logan Couture said af-terward.
Pittsburgh has out-shot San Jose 46-24 in the first period so far this series and is now 12-3 in the post-season when scoring first.
It wasn’t this way at all for the Sharks in the opening three rounds of the post-season. They managed to land the game’s opening goal in 13 of their first 18 games this spring, winning 10 times.
DeBoer couldn’t pin-point what exactly had changed.
The first period of the first Stanley Cup final in Sharks history was per-haps a sign of things to come. The club was out-shot 15-4 and outscored 2-0 in an eventual 3-2 loss.
“We haven’t been able to get out and get a lead,” Sharks defence-man Paul Martin said, “and we’re a different team when we do that.”
Sharks say biggest fix for Game 5 is scoring first
gavin DayCanadian Press
The next time Cana-da’s men’s national soc-cer team sees the field, the atmosphere will be in stark contrast to the quiet afternoon in the Austrian countryside it enjoyed on Tuesday.
A late own goal gave Canada a 2-1 win over
Uzbekistan in a friendly in front of a scattering of fans at the Thermensta-dion in Bad Waltersdorf.
Canada’s next game is Sept. 2 at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula, Hon-duras. It will likely be in front of a frenzied mob of over 40,000 fans for a crucial World Cup quali-fier, with both teams
fighting to advance to the final round in the CONCACAF region.
“You can feel the buzz, especially after the game today,” captain David Edgar, who opened the scoring for Canada in the 20th min-ute, said of his team’s upcoming matches. Canada will also host El Salvador Sept. 6 in Van-
couver in the final game of the qualifying round.
After Uzbekistan’s Eldor Shomurodov tied the game in the 62nd minute, Canada started to press and were re-warded when Akramjon Komilov headed a Cana-dian cross from the left side into his own goal.
The game concluded a camp that started late
last month and includ-ed a 1-1 draw with Azer-baijan last Friday.
After picking up four points in four games in its CONCACAF, Canada lies third in a World Cup qualifying group with Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador. While tied on points with Hondu-ras, Canada has an infe-rior goal differential.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are fired up and ready to take off at a moment’s notice. You might be surprised by how independent you can be. Al-though the planets can influence you, you are very much your own person today. Decide what you want, then go for it. Tonight: Re-laxed enough to let loose.TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You might not always share your priorities, yet you are well aware of them. Others don’t know the level of commitment that you have toward your family and cir-cle of friends. You might decide to reveal more of your essence, if you feel it is appropriate. To-night: Make a fun dinner.GEMINI (May 21-June 20)Your energy remains high. You’ll demonstrate a willingness to adjust to others’ needs. Express your sunny disposition and car-ing. Others will be delighted to share and open up. A greater sense of belonging emerges between you and them. Tonight: Teamwork pays off.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might feel more valued than you normally do. You have strug-gled to develop a better sense of self, and you are starting to feel the effect of your personal work. Others also see a difference in how you respond. You seem transformed. Tonight: Be willing to express yourself.LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll wake up feeling different and far more aware of your sur-roundings. You seem to have hit your personal power days. You make nearly everything much more doable. Clear out a project or two, but be sure to use this period for your benefit as well. Tonight: Feel empowered.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Loosen up. You might notice a tendency to take everything per-sonally. Slow down if you start questioning yourself or keep hitting obstacles. Realize that you have pushed too hard and maybe need a break. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. You will need the extra rest soon.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)A friendship plays a major role
in what is about to happen. You naturally gravitate toward this person. Be more open to the potential possibilities that exist between you. Your sense of hu-mor emerges once more when having an important discussion. Tonight: Where the crowds are.SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Understand that you are part of an important project in which everyone looks up to you. You might not hear words of praise from others, but know that they are there in some people’s minds. In any case, recognize that others are observing. To-night: A must appearance.SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) At this point, you could take the opportunity to move forward. You willingly break past precon-ceived notions and early beliefs. As you reassess your thinking and choices, you’ll revitalize your perspective. Show off your new sense of well-being. Tonight: Follow the music.CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Reach out to someone at a distance whom you enjoy enor-mously and who provides un-
usual insights. A close loved one might display some jealousy. Share your feelings more often in order to keep the peace. This person needs your approval. To-night: Togetherness works.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Dedicate some extra time to a loved one. You’ll find the interac-tion to be quite important, as it is likely to revitalize your energy and well-being. This association is critical to your thinking and your choices. Feel indulged, and indulge him or her in return. To-night: Say “yes.”PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Dive into your work, and concen-trate on your priorities one at a time. The results will give you a sense of satisfaction. You finally might feel as if you have done more of what you have wanted to do. This allows you to flow more easily. Tonight: Be open to a change of scenery.BORN TODAYArchitect Frank Lloyd Wright (1867), comedian Jerry Stiller (1927), comedian Joan Rivers (1933)
Dear Annie: I just received a baby shower invitation that makes me feel more like a fundraising target than a loving family mem-ber. I have hosted or attended at least 20 baby showers. There have always been games and prizes. This shower will include a diaper raf-fle, so that means an “entry fee.” Attendees are excluded from the game if they don’t pony up a package of diapers. They have also asked for a book instead of a card. I am an artist. I always create personal drawings on handmade paper tags as my card, but now I have to get a book. And then, of course, a gift from the baby registry is expected. This mother-to-be is financially better off than my husband and I, so it’s not as though they can’t afford diapers. It just seems greedy, rude and tacky. If I choose not to participate in the pay-per-play events, I will not only feel left out, but will be viewed as a cheapskate. I might add that we never received a thank-you note for the $400 wedding gift we sent several years ago. When did it become ac-ceptable for a celebration of new life to be-come a crowdfunding event? -- Appalled Invitee Dear Appalled: It has never been accept-able, but it hasn’t stopped people from trying. And this one seems particularly de-manding -- books, diapers and gifts. Diaper showers have become popular as a way to help the new parents stock up on this par-ticular necessity, especially since the cost is minimal and often considered the shower gift, as well. You are not obligated to do ev-erything that is asked of you. And should you decide to bring a book and diapers, consid-er the cost of those items to be part of your overall budget for the shower and choose the gift accordingly. Not receiving a thank-you note for your wedding gift is, sad to say, not uncommon for those brides and grooms who lack con-sideration for others. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Save Your Feet for the Beach,” whose co-worker likes to walk around the office barefoot and the managers don’t comment. You said the reader should point out that she could pick up all kinds of germs or step on a staple. The managers would likely have something to say if their workers’ compensation insur-ance or liability insurance company was aware that anyone, at any time, was without shoes in the office. This is an avoidable haz-ard and if the co-worker were injured due to being barefoot, the managers would care plenty. Of course, the reason she goes barefoot is a separate subject. If she needs a second pair of comfortable shoes at the office, she should keep them there and stop putting herself at risk. -- V. Dear V. Thanks for the input. Other read-ers pointed out that this could be a board of health violation, leading to fines. When you hit the owners or managers in the pocket-book, they tend to pay more attention. No matter how uncomfortable your shoes may be, it is completely inappropriate, unprofes-sional and dangerous to walk around bare-foot in the office. It is not your home. Bring something else to put on your feet. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitch-ell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

C anaDian PReSSDelta police say drugs seized in raids last March
have tested positive for W-18, a drug that’s believed to be 100 time more potent than deadly fentanyl.
Investigators suspect the W-18 was being manu-factured to appear like heroin or oxycodone before being sold at the street level, where it poses a much higher and deadly risk of overdose for users.
Delta Chief Constable Neil Dubord says it’s ap-parent that drug traffickers are aware of the danger because those accused of being involved in manu-facturing W-18 were protecting themselves with respirators, gloves and goggles.
Five people are facing multiple charges, and two are in custody.
Police warn users about drug more potent than fentanyl
C anaDian PReSSInvestigators are appealing for witnesses after a
pickup truck hit two cyclists in southern B.C. on the final leg of a 3,000-kilometre Canadian and U.S. tour.
Police say the cyclists are recovering from minor injuries but total damage to their bikes is estimated at more than $10,000.
RCMP say they were taking part in Rob’s Ride when they were hit by a pickup truck on Sunday on Highway 3 west of Grand Forks.
The driver took off, crashed the truck a few kilo-metres away and was taken to hospital for assess-ment.

Canadian PressVICTORIA - Stalled land-claim treaty talks in Brit-
ish Columbia are about to undergo a series of re-forms in an effort to speed negotiations and produce more agreements.
Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad says B.C., the federal government and the First Nations Summit are on a path to negotiate more treaties in less time.
At the current pace of negotiations in B.C., Rustad says it will take 600 years to reach treaty agreements with more than 200 First Nations in the province.
He says the treaty reforms will include negotia-tion deadlines to reach settlements.
Over 23 years of talks, Rustad says B.C. has spent hundreds of millions of dollars and reached just seven treaties.

Canadian PressTORONTO — The price of oil has settled above
US$50 a barrel for the first time in nearly a year.The July benchmark contract for West Texas Inter-
mediate crude closed Tuesday at US$50.36, an in-crease of 67 cents from the previous day.
That’s the first time oil has settled above the US$50 mark since last July.
“$50 is a big psychological hurdle for crude oil, and it’s one that it’s been bumping up against for a couple of weeks now,” said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets Canada.
“To see it break through is very encouraging and suggests that there is enough support to keep carry-ing crude oil higher.”
In February, oil settled as low as US$26.21 a barrel.“It’s a pretty spectacular move in a fairly relatively
short period of time,” Cieszynski said.Canada’s economy has been hit hard by a rapid
and deep decline in global oil prices that began in late 2014.
Crude prices have gradually risen in recent weeks due to several factors, including the wildfires in Fort McMurray, Alta., which at one point may have taken out as much as half of Canada’s total oilsands produc-tion, according to some estimates. Those operations have gradually started to come back online.
Crude oil settles above US$50 a barrel for first
time since July 2015
Canadian PressOTTAWA - Come Canada Day, Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau’s family will be down to one nanny.A new cabinet decision shows that Marylou Tray-
villa, who had worked for the family before Trudeau became prime minister, will be off the public payroll on July 1. The notice gives no reason for the dismissal.
Trayvilla was one of two nannies hired as special assistants under the Official Residences Act to watch the three Trudeau children and provide other duties around the prime minister’s official residence.
The duo were each paid between $15-$20 an hour during the day and $11-$13 at night, a fee nanny as-sociations previously said reflects the average rate.
The prime minister came under fire for the hires, considering how he criticized the previous Conserva-tive government for a universal child care benefit that went to wealthy families who didn’t need help paying for child care, his own family included.
Trudeau’s office insisted the two nannies didn’t increase the budget for the prime minister’s resi-dence, and supporters pointed to a similar arrange-ment when Brian Mulroney was prime minister with a young brood.
The Trudeaus even poked fun at the affair during the annual parliamentary press gallery dinner on the weekend.
One of two Trudeau nannies to be let go

T h e F r e e P r e s sThe Ministry of For-
ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations have released regula-
tions regarding camp-fires as warmer tem-peratures have more people venturing out-side.
A campfire can be no larger than 0.5 me-tres high by 0.5 metres wide and must never be left unattended.
Regulations stipulate that either eight litres of water or a shovel be nearby to extinguish the fire, and a firebreak
created by scraping down to the dirt one metre, must surround the fire. Finally, before leaving the area, the
campfire must be fully extinguished and the ashes must be cool to the touch.
Anyone violating
campfire regulations may be subject to a fine of $1,150.

R ecently, Puerto Vallarta wel-comed us to the
beauty and warmth of Banderas Bay. My co-worker and I headed out on a short but busy Travel Agent trip this past April to check out a few hotels in the Puerto
Vallarta area. It would take weeks, months or even years to witness the countless delights of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, but we managed to soak in as much as we could during our quick five days.
We stayed at two dif-
The Occidental Grand in Nuevo Vallarta is a small resort, just 274 rooms, but has all the great amenities of many large resorts and has been recently renovat-ed. A solid 4-star resort (though I believe the brochures list it as a 4.5 star). It works well for families, couples and singles. The food and service are exceptional. The beach is a beautiful stretch that is great for walking, playing in the water or relaxing under a palm tree with your favorite beverage.
In Puerto Vallarta you will find more than one way of recharging your batteries, since there are hundreds of choices for recreation such as golfing, surfing, diving, snorkeling, fish-ing, jet skis and boat rides around the bay. For those who enjoy a rush of adrenaline, there is bungee jumping, parachute rides or ziplining.
The best way to enjoy Puerto Vallarta is to wander through Viejo Vallarta (Old Vallarta) with traditional cobble-stone streets, wrought-iron balconies and red tiled roofs. Walk along the beautiful Malecon to explore shops, galleries and restaurants. For night owls, be sure to enjoy the many bars and nightclubs!

ferent resorts during this trip, and we must say that we were quite impressed with the ser-vice level, food and amenities each one had to offer.
Barcelo Puerto Val-larta is situated within a private cove on Playa Mismaloya, about a 20 minute drive from downtown Puerto Val-larta. Beside the resort is a small fishing village that offers a restaurant
on the beach and limit-ed shopping. There is a local bus or taxi service if you would like to go into town. If you are in-terested in a resort that has a walking beach, night life and close to shopping, I would not recommend this one, however if you want something a little quiet-er, remote and not the hotel zone environ-ment, then this could be a good option.
the Sierra Madre Occi-dental Mountain range, 360 days of sunshine, and only a 4 hour direct flight from Calgary – all these things make Puer-to Vallarta one of the most dynamic tourist
destinations in Mexico!For all the latest news
