and shall be subject to � re and safety inspection.

The purpose of the proposed Zoning Amendment is to enable the development of a storage facility within a portion of the building located on the properties.

The subject properties are legally described as Lots 12-18, Block 319, District Lot 32 Kootenay District Plan 1231, and are located at 300 1st Avenue South, as shown on the reference map below.

“City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3831, 2015” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until September 14, 2015, as posted on the bulletin board in the foyer at City Hall, or in the of� ce of the Municipal Clerk.

Trevor CrawleyGiven the success of

the Sun Mine, it looks like there are plans afoot for another so-lar-capturing facility in the area.

While the Sun Mine sits on Teck’s former Sullivan Mine Concen-trator site outside Kim-berley, this new pro-posed project is located between Cranbrook and Fort Steele.

The proposal, re-ferred to the Regional District of East Koote-nay in late August from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations, in-volves seeking a crown land application for an investigative license to assess the potential for

a solar farm. The application cov-

ers 300 hectares and is roughly located beyond a gravel pit adjacent to the St. Mary’s River in-between Cranbrook and Fort Steele. The vi-sion is to have three separate areas captur-ing sunlight on the property.

Currently, the pro-posal is only at an inves-tigative stage and, fol-lowing RDEK board ap-proval on Friday, the proponents are allowed to install a small weath-er station to collect weather information.

Should weather con-ditions prove favour-able and a solar farm is proposed, the land will need to be referred back

to the RDEK for a rezon-ing application along with Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) approval for non-farm use.

The proponents—Node Engineering Cor-poration—are estimat-ing as much as 45 mega-watts of electricity can be produced and con-nected to a nearby B.C. Hydro substation.

Board chair Rob Gay says the RDEK is very much supportive of al-ternative energy, but notes that the proposal is still in a very early stage.

“Is that the right lo-cation? That’ll be some-thing we’ll have to talk about when we get there. This is just to see if it could be a viable

operation,” he said. “There’s some posi-

tives there in the fact that it was a gravel pit and parts of it are in use, but all of it isn’t, and it’s also located close to B.C. Hydro lines.”

Gay added that ev-eryone is still caught up in the excitement of the

Sun Mine, which went live this summer and features 4,032 solar-cell modules, mounted on 96 solar trackers that generates 1.05 mega-watts.

And there is plenty of room for expansion out at that site, he contin-ued.

Company looking at solar farm potential

“I think there’s ample area there to put these in one area, which, to me, makes a lot of sense because I think there’s a lot of economies of scale when you’re putting some of the same infra-structure in place,” Gay said.

“The Kimberley one certainly, to me on the property, there’s a lot of opportunity with some reclaimed mine site that really doesn’t have neighbours, where, in this case, there will be some neighbouring properties that will want to have a say in it.”

Given the success of the Sun Mine near Kimberley (pictured above), it looks like there are plans afoot for another solar-capturing facility in the area.

night and enjoy what has become a family-fa-vourite this Friday, Sep-tember 11 as Kootenay Savings once again brings the giant outdoor screen to Kimberley’s Coronation Park for an outdoor movie night.

The feature shown on the three-storey in-flatable screen this year will be Inside Out.

Outdoor Movie night this Friday

From page 1It is important for

people – especially in the periphery of the City -- to be very diligent with managing their garbage properly and cleaning up any fallen fruit from trees on their properties. Bears will be hungry and looking for easy meals.

Please do not contact municipal offices or the local branch of the SPCA with wildlife is-sues. They are only able to deal with domestic animals – not wildlife.

If you see or have is-sues with any wildlife, including bears, please contact the provincial RAPP line to report it at 1-877-952-7277, 24

hours a day, 7 days per weeks. This information is passed along directly to the local branch of the Conservation Offi-

cer Service, where it is recorded and depend-ing on the wildlife issue, it will be responded to.

Expect bears this fall

Private Sponsoring of Refugees (PSR) is a program created in Canada to help in the Southeast Asian crisis of the late 1970s, which saw a mass exodus of Vietnamese — the so-called Boat People. Pri-vate sponsorship groups (SAHs) operate under the PSR program.

“We sponsored up to 40,000 refugees a year then (during the Viet-namese crisis) — the rates have varied over the last 30 years,” Jimenez said. “But the government (recently) has put limits on pri-vate sponsorship.

“In 2011, we were told we can no longer sponsor as many refu-

gees as we want to sponsor. And it’s put limits on every group across the country.”

Jimenez said the re-lationship between Cit-izenship and Immigra-tion Canada and the private SAHs should be a partnership — “like it was for 30 years. But now it’s become a dic-tatorship.

Jimenez says the term “Fortress Europe” has now been expand-ed to “Fortress Canada, based on these recent changes to Canadian policy.

“Refugee policy has been decimated in the last decade — but the attention on what’s been happening is

going to bring about change.”

In the meantime, the East Kootenay Friends of Burma continues with it’s work as best it can.

Both the cities of Cranbrook and Kim-berley, under former mayors Stetski and McRae, officially com-mitted to being safe ha-vens for refugees.

“The refugees that come here are super successful, and they stay because they’re safe and they want to be included,” Jimenez said.

“People really want to come here — and that’s what Canada is built on. We’re all de-

scended from immi-grants or refugees, un-less we’re First Nations.”

Jimenez said many SAH’s haven’t been in-volved in refugee settle-ment since the Viet-namese diaspora. But the ongoing situation in Europe and the Middle East will likely spark people’s desire to help. And the Friends of Burma is there to assist.

”Anyone interested can go through their faith-based group,”

Jimenez said. “But we can help if they phone and say ‘how do we do this? We forget.’ All peo-ple have to do is come up with the funds, and can get the sponsorship process started.”

Volunteers with the SAH and the Friends of Burma will then be re-sponsible for the whole settlement process, from picking them up at the airport to helping them integrate into the community.

“We really need more volunteers — es-pecially young people,” Jimenez added.

“Canadians are compassionate — we did it before and we can do it again. There are 15 million people asking for our help. Let’s pick one and get started.”

Jimenez says the East Kootenay Friends of Burma needs help with refugees trying to learn English in Kim-berley. If you can vol-

unteer to help read books/teach English with adults in Kimber-ley or help with home-work of former refugee children, please call Shauna Jimenez at 250 4223259.

For more informa-tion on the East Koote-nay Friends of Burma, to volunteer, or to spon-sor a refugee, contact Jimenez at the above phone number or email s joutdoors7@gmail .com.

Josh LockhartFor the Bulletin

The first time that I went to a Kimberley Dy-namiters game, I met some of the long-time season ticket holders. Oblivious to the Civic Centre Arena customs, I was sitting in a reserved seat, marked so elo-quently by an ‘R’ with a lit stick of dynamite in it. They told me that they had been sitting in those same seats for over 30 years. I gladly changed spots not wanting to mess with tradition.

Afterward I learned that one of those long-time season ticket hold-ers, after working with their spouse and son in different capacities, was David Righton. He has supported the Kimber-ley Dynamiters for well over 35 years.

David attended his first Dynamiter game with his dad, attending

only once, which was enough to motivate him to become a Dynamiters season ticket holder and create his own tradition. Part of his tradition was taking his son, Jonathan, to Kimberley Dynamiter games. The first game that Jonathan went to was when he was seven years old, in 1991. This father-son duo attended many, if not all, the Dy-namiters home games together.

During that time Jon-athan began taking pho-tographs at games. Some of his pictures have ap-peared on the front page of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin newspaper. While many of his game day pictures are shared on the Dynamiters Face-book page for family, parents, and fans to see.

Unfortunately, David Righton passed away in the summer of 2014. For 23 years the two attend-

ed games together. So this past season, 2014-15, was Jonathan’s first season without his father in attendance. It was a difficult and an emotion-al time for Jonathan, as

the Dynamiters were one of the top teams in the KIJHL, as they won their division in the reg-ular season. The Dyna-miters then proceeded to win the Eddie Moun-

tain Division, Kootenay Conference, and eventu-ally the League Title, first since winning the league title in 1979-80, before going on to win silver at the Cyclone Taylor Cup.

With all that emotion, Jonathan announced at the conclusion of the season that he was dedi-cating his whole season’s photography work to his

dad, David Righton. An honor he felt his dad de-served knowing how much his dad supported him in photography and the Dynamiters.

Jonathan now contin-ues carrying the torch of the family tradition that will soon be reaching 40 plus years of the Righton family supporting the Kimberley Dynamiter’s.

“Odd-balls are those to whom so-called civilization has not yet accustomed itself.”

Anonymous

They’re at it again, like pesky insects, so I had better sort them out soonest.

Sir: My wife of fifty years now, has taken up the cello and, when she practices, it sounds like the rutting of Blue Whales. I keep suggest-ing that she go to her friends’ places to make those sort of noises but she feels that she needs to stay home and look after me, especially now that I get these mi-graines.

Anthony in anguish.

Anthony: I feel for you and your ear-drums. Why don’t you move to somewhere other than Anguish? Where is it, anyway?

Cheers, Pete.

Mr Warland: When I read your usual bosh last week, the stuff about living your life all over again, I thought: Well! For you it’d be another waste of space on this crowd-ed planet of ours but I, personally, wouldn’t mind correcting the few errors I’ve made along the way. However, thinking soberly, I have to agree with you: I couldn’t hack it again; all those wars and atom bombs.

Jack Rarebitt.

Jack: Well! Good on you! Were you ever hit fatally?

Peter Warland.Hey, Pete, old mate: Will you please tell

Marjorie (his wife for the nonce, I believe) that it was all a joke and that it was you who

registered me with Ashley Madison. I am not looking for a svelte blonde who is also married but keen on fooling around. I wouldn’t recognize a svelte blonde if I saw one and wouldn’t know what to do with one either. Joke’s over. Call Marjorie, please.

William (Bill) A. Bong

Mr Warland: What was all that balderdash about a woman forgiving her hus-band for his sexual roving and attempting to seduce him all over again.   I have never read such insanity and I am really astonished

that your editor bothered to print it; she must be out of her mind.

Dorothy Reid (Mrs), Ta ta Creek.

Well! How do you do, Dorothy? I have the teeniest suspicion that you are barking up the wrong tree here. I would never have dared write such a thing except, maybe, in my Dear Ermentrude column in the Skoo-kumchuck Herald.

Peter Warland (Mr) Cranbrook.

Peter: That nut-case woman you wrote about July 24 last, the one protecting herself with a bow and arrow, I think I know her and I think she was lying though her teeth with that yarn. If she could draw that bow still, she couldn’t hit a barn door at ten paces.

Daphne, Kimberley.

Hi, Daph: I guess she conned me with that one.

Slightly embarrassed Pete.

Hey, Pete: Thanks for your bit called Fill-

ing The Years. I thought you’d forgotten my questions about retirement. The fact is: I have found great comfort in my garden and spend hours there every day. It not only keeps me from the TV and being in my wife’s way but I feel so much healthier. I also get to meet all sorts of great people who stop to watch me gardening. I have no need to rush off volunteering and getting involved with organizations.  

George K. (Felicity sends her love).

George: You are welcome. Pete (Felicity’s love reciprocated)

Mr Warland: This past year I have been following faithfully your rambling columns in The Bulletin and, it seems, all you write about is memory and memory loss.

Albert Hall, Wycliffe.

Albert: Do I? I forget. Peter Warland.

Mr Warland: You have probably forgot-ten me but I was in your Anthropology class and really enjoyed it. I always reckoned that you were smart and well educated but, after reading your explanation about those peo-ple who we see standing behind politicians when they make their speeches, I think you are losing it. My husband, Walter makes those special bobblehead dolls that politi-cians employ to make them feel important. Bobbleheads, although incredibly lifelike, cannot converse the way you portrayed them. You should be more careful and do your research, the way you encouraged us.

Disappointed Darlene, Wasa.

Mike SelbyFatma Khudair is doing her best. Head of the Baghdad National Li-

brary’s restoration team, Khudair is care-fully applying small amounts of steam to an ancient manuscript, which currently resembles a large rock. Chronic damp-ness combined with centuries of extreme heat have almost fossilized the book, and Khudair is attempting to separate each page so it can digitally photographed. So far she has only had time to save a few of the clumps of fused pages; it is a delicate process combining steam, micro-tools, and something Khudair is completely lacking: time.

ISIS is coming. Amidst the unbelievable and senseless

loss of human life, the Islamic State has set out to destroy Iraq’s history, what the U.N. calls cultural genocide.

“This destruction marks a new phase in the cultural cleansing perpetrated in re-gions controlled by armed extremists in Iraq,” U.N. officials offered in a press release. “It adds to the systematic destruction of heritage and the persecution of minorities that seeks to wipe out the cultural diversity that is the soul of the Iraqi people.”

From sledgehammers to bulldozers to military-grade explosives, ISIS has been systematically destroying culturally signifi-cant sites not only in Iraq but in Syria as well. Many have been archeological won-ders and World Heritage Sites. Earlier this week, Syria’s Temple of Baal — one of the most ancient and “archaeological jewels of the Middle East”—was completely de-stroyed.

Iraq has also lost numerous archaeolog-ical sites at the hands of ISIS, including sites at Hatra, Ninevah, Nimrud, and Khosabad.

The libraries at Iraq have also been hit hard. Initially, ISIS simply looted ancient manuscripts and irreplaceable books from university and national libraries, but it wasn’t long before they were burnt to the ground. In February the public library in Mosul was razed to ashes, destroying over 100,000 books, including centuries-old newspapers, maps, and scientific works dating back to the Ottoman empire. UNES-CO called it “one of the most devastating acts of destruction of library collections in human history.”

This is why library staff like Fatma Khu-dair are working against the clock. Both microfilm and digitization of the more pre-cious library items will ensure that at the very least their content will survive.

This is not an easy process even in times of peace, let alone when the enemy is at the gate. If Khudair can somehow get the bookrocks to open, that is only the beginning. Once open, they must be held in a sterile environ-ment for 48 hours, to eliminate harmful dust and mould. After that, Japanese tissue paper is gently placed between each page. This is to provide a delicate backing as each page could easily crumble if handled wrong.

The simple act of photographing each item for digitization or microfilm processing can just as easily destroy the item, so each page is chemically tested before filmed.

Again, none of this can be rushed, but that is exactly what is happening.

Preserving their literary heritage is of vital importance. Once saved, it can be shared. And according to Baghdad National Library officials, this is crucial.

“Sharing Iraqi art ad literature is key to combatting terrorism.”

Even before this mad dash to digitize the collection, the Library was already engaged in fighting the good fight. When the coun-try’s forces recaptured the Diyala province from ISIS, they sent over two thousand books to help rebuild what was lost. This way, according to Library officials, “Iraqis in this area have access to these materials so they can always feel proud of their rich his-tory.”

Of all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the

Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me.

It wasn’t the people who flooded 9-1-1 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment.

With part of his commu-nity without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There he pleaded with res-idents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs.

Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perish-ables.

Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever all-powerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery stores? How do they conclude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal situation above all others?

Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better. Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on.

Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help. Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tin-

foil-hat superstition about their signals.

The facts should be known by now. After an ex-tremely dry spring and sum-mer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with

before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out, leav-ing overtaxed technicians unable to accu-rately assess the full extent of it.

In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-optimistic repair estimates given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers.

About 15 years ago I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my fam-ily went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing

rain followed by snow and cold.Trickles of water kept pipes from freez-

ing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised.

Megastorm madness isn’t an isolated case. A couple of weeks before that, a tem-porary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage.

Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements.

In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world.

This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retire-ment with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force?

Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has al-ready failed in Quebec, from coast to coast?

Are you ready for the day when the ma-chine stops?

Back to where it all beganKootenay Ice host Lethbridge Hurricanes in pre-season opener at Memorial Arena as 15-year-old prospects make WHL debuts

Chris Pullen Photo/CranbrookPhoto.Com

Ice forward Vince Loschiavo (#18) gets in close on former Hurricanes goaltender Zac Robidoux (#35) during regular season action at Western Financial Place in November 2014. The Kootenay Ice and Lethbridge Hurricanes open the 2015 WHL pre-season Tuesday night at Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

The last time the Koo-tenay Ice played a game in Cranbrook’s Memori-al Arena, Eli Lieffers and Loeden Schaufler were far too young to know what a hockey puck was, let alone dream of skat-ing in the Western Hock-ey League.

With the Ice set to host the Lethbridge Hurricanes in WHL pre-season action at Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena Tuesday night at 7 p.m., the two 15-year-old prospects will have exhilarating memories to add to the bank as they are expected to make their WHL debuts.

“I’m kind of nervous, but I’m really excited for it,” said Lieffers, a fourth-round selection (78th overall) of the Ice at the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft. “I just want to get out there. I’m going to try to do what I can do and work hard.

“It really hasn’t sunk in yet…Just to get out there and have the ex-perience is really good.”

While Lieffers and Schaufler won’t forget Tuesday night, fans of the Kootenay Ice will ac-cess their own memory banks and reminisce on the early beginnings of what has become one of the WHL’s most suc-cessful franchises since the late 1990s.

After relocating to the East Kootenay from Edmonton following the 1997-98 WHL season, the Ice called Cran-brook’s Memorial Arena home for two seasons

before moving into Western Financial Place to open the 2000-01 campaign.

“I’m pretty excited to see how nervous I get coming up on Tuesday,” said Schaufler, a third-round selection (56th) of the ice at the 2015 Bantam Draft.

“I don’t even know what I’m going to think when we go out for war-mup, even. I’m going to guess it’s going to be pretty loud. It’s a pretty big day.”

The last time the Ice played a game at the Memorial Arena it turned out to be a pretty big day as well.

The date was May 12, 2000. It was Game 5 of the WHL championship series.

The hosts knocked off the visiting Spokane Chiefs by a 2-1 final to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series, be-fore putting the finish-ing touches on the fran-chise’s first WHL title the next day in Spokane.

Lieffers wasn’t even two months old at the time, while Schaufler hadn’t even been in the world for a month.

No title will be hand-ed out Tuesday night, but perhaps the ground-

work will be laid for a future championship.

Head coach Luke Pierce is also set to make his WHL debut, official-ly opening a new era for the Kootenay Ice after the departure of long-time head coach Ryan McGill this off-season.

“I’m just looking for-ward to seeing a different jersey out there and hav-ing a real opponent so that we can start to as-sess some of these guys a little better,” Pierce said following a week of scrimmages and in-trasquad games through camp. “I’m looking for-ward to being in that at-mosphere, that environ-ment. We toured it last week and there’s a lot of feel and history in there.”

A total of 35 players remain on the Ice roster heading into pre-season action, meaning there is still plenty of work to be done in the assessment department.

Though Lieffers and Schaufler represent the next generation of young talent, they won’t be in Ice threads as 15-year-olds this year. The pre-season offers them opportunity to learn the expectations and level of play they will be expected to rise to when they are eligible for roster slots come the 2016-17 season.

“For them, I’m sure they’re going to be ex-tremely nervous and that’s normal,” Pierce said. “We want to try and protect them as much as we can.”

Schaufler, a 6-foot, 170-pound defenceman

originally from Dewin-ton, Alta., spent the 2014-15 campaign with the Notre Dame Bantam ‘AAA’ Hounds. He is slat-ed to suit up on a de-fence pairing alongside a former Hound and veteran of three WHL seasons -- Tanner Faith.

“I think he’s going to learn as much from just being out there with Tanner as he will from playing against different opponents,” Pierce said. “For him, it’s just feeling comfortable and seeing what the pace is like compared to camp, which it’ll be so much higher.”

Lieffers registers as a lanky 6-foot-2, 155-

pound forward. He spent the 2014-15 sea-son with the Saskatoon Bantam ‘AA’ Maniacs and is expected to have his fair share of veteran support Tuesday as well.

“He’s a pretty fearless kid and fearless player, so I think he’ll be fine,” Pierce said. “Again, it’s something they can take back when they go back to their club teams and hopefully try and play at that type of tempo over this next year of devel-opment.”

Development is the name of the game at this point for an Ice squad turning over a new page following the departure of Sam Reinhart and

Tim Bozon, along with the expected graduation of Rinat Valiev to the professional ranks.

The Ice cut down its roster to 35 players fol-lowing camp, including three goaltenders, 15 de-fencemen and 17 for-wards.

Heading into Tues-day, both Lieffers and Schaufler are keeping it simple in preparation for their WHL debuts. That means sticking to the regular routine.

“You have a ritual that you do every day be-fore a game,” Lieffers said. “If you feel like you get in a groove, that’s how you feel less ner-vous. That’s what helps

me.”“You just do the

same thing you do to prepare for any other game, any intrasquad game,” Schaufler said. “Just do the same thing.”

Following Tuesday’s home exhibition date with the Hurricanes, the Ice head south of the border for the Tri-City Americans’ annual pre-season tournament in Kennewick, Wash.

The Ice play three games in Kennewick, in-cluding Thursday, Sept. 10 versus the Americans, Friday, Sept. 11 versus the Seattle Thunderbirds and Saturday, Sept. 12 against the Prince George Cougars.

the books for the KIJHL’s defending champion Kimberley Dynamiters.

The Nitros opened camp Friday, Sept. 4 at the Kimberley Civic Centre, working through three days of practices, scrimmages and a vari-ety of off-ice sessions.

Having invited 33 players to camp (six goaltenders, nine de-fencemen and 18 for-wards), Dynamiters general manager Mike Reid trimmed the roster to 20 (three goaltenders,

six defencemen and 11 forwards) along with four affiliates (two goal-tenders, one defence-man and one forward) on Sunday.

“The camp was very competitive,” Reid said Monday. “We were very happy with the tempo -- it stayed high all week-end. Guys were finishing their checks, playing hard. We really liked what we saw in terms of the compete level.”

There remains to be decisions made in the goaltending depart-ment, with three goal-

tenders still in Kimber-ley in addition to two others listed as affiliates.

While Tyson Brouwer is a lock to retain the starting role, competi-tion remains as 18-year-olds Cody Call of Wil-liams Lake, B.C., and Jack Page of Calgary, Alta., found their way onto the active roster coming out of camp.

As for the skaters, a count of 17 bodies might seem low. That’s be-cause it is.

“We knew with what we had out there, for sure, we’re going to get a

couple [Junior A] guys back or a couple [Junior A] players we’ve been recruiting will show up at some point,” Reid said. “They will be able to step right into our lineup, so we want to save spots for them.”

Forwards Keenan Haase, Sawyer Hunt, Coy Prevost and Braden Saretsky, and defence-man Jonas Gordon are in Junior ‘A’ camps and forward Jordan Roy re-mains with the WHL’s Tri-City Americans.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Use your resourcefulness with a child or loved one who seems to be driving a hard bargain. Your sensitivity remains high, but remember not to push beyond your natural limits. Knowing your objective will help point the way. Tonight: Stay close to home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Consider the past few days be-fore you start any project. You will want to accomplish a lot more quickly, though you could be more tired than you realize. Stay close to home, if possible. A situation might arise that could encourage you to rethink a friendship. Tonight: Make it easy. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on, yet you might need to handle a per-sonal matter first. Don’t settle for anything less than what you feel is right. Listen to someone else’s tale of woe and recognize the tension it has created. To-night: Let the party begin.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You see a personal matter dif-ferently from how many other people see it. The reason is that you understand people’s feel-ings better than others. Open up to a new possibility. Your sense of humor emerges when deal-ing with a confusing situation. Tonight: Treat yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be honest when you are feeling out of sorts. Sometimes you would be best off retreating and not putting on your sunny face. Everyone needs some time off -- even you. Take a day just for you, and you will see the difference. Tonight: Take a nap, then decide. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can’t continue to pressure yourself as you have. If you feel up to it, push yourself today, but plan on getting some downtime very soon. You seem to have been angry about a situation, and could lose your temper. Have a discussion instead. To-night: Make it an early night. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be more forthright in how you deal with another per-

son. Your sense of humor emerg-es once more when dealing with an irritable yet funny friend. Ac-complish what you must before you socialize. You will hear a lot of news. Tonight: Be prepared for a fun happening. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Continue to be uninvolved with a complex situation. You under-stand the dynamics involved better than the majority of peo-ple, but that does not mean you need to deal with this matter. Open up to new possibilities and new ideas. Tonight: Catch up on emails and calls. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) An associate will sense your fa-tigue, even if you don’t. Under-stand your limits, and attempt to tune into your inner voice and energy. You need to take more time for yourself. Listen to this person’s news, but know that you don’t need to agree. Tonight: Let the party begin. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are respected and known to give good advice. Listen to the nature of the questions you are being asked. You might notice

that something is afoot. Just ob-serve and get more information. Try not to let others know what you know! Tonight: Dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be too tired to con-tinue to push so hard. Be aware of what is going on around you. Perhaps someone unintention-ally is creating more work for you than you would like to han-dle. Have a conversation, if need be. Tonight: The later it gets, the more fun you have. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot to share, and share you will. However, your creativity and imagination could point you in a new direction. A child or loved one delights you with his or her responses. Make the most of your time together. Tonight: The party goes on and on. BORN TODAY Actor David Arquette (1971), singer/songwriter Pink (1979), U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (1941) Jacqueline Bigar is on the In-ternet at www.jacquelinebigar.com.

Dear Annie: I am the youngest of three girls and have always been the black sheep of the family. I have two sisters who don’t have kids, yet they constantly tell me I’m not a good mother or daughter. I have always tried to be a good daughter, especially after Dad passed away. My sisters don’t do much for our mom. One lives out of state, so I guess she thinks she doesn’t have to do anything. The other sister calls Mom often, but doesn’t bother to stop by and see her. Mom is on a limited income. We all work full time and have husbands, but I’m the only one who buys her groceries and takes her places. I recently told my mother how I was feeling about my sisters, and she told me they will never change. And why should they? Mom refuses to ask for any help from the other two. She never asks me to take her shopping, but I know she needs food in her house. I also enjoy spending time with my mom. She’s an awesome woman who worked hard and provided for her children. I had once before disappeared from Mom’s life because I was tired of putting up with this nonsense. I didn’t speak to anyone for a year. But I realized my mother won’t be here forever, and we’ve been attached at the hip ever since. Now I’m tired of the nonsense again. What am I supposed to do? My sisters are perfectly aware of Mom’s needs. I believe they are selfish. What’s it going to take for them to wake up? I can’t talk to either one of them because it just upsets me. But I can’t go back and keep taking care of Mom all by myself. It gets expensive to do this every week with no help whatsoever. -- The Black Sheep Dear Sheep: You sound like a caring daughter, but you cannot force your sisters to be the same. If you were an only child, would you continue helping Mom? It might be less frustrating for you to think of yourself that way. However, you may be able to get your sisters to contribute financially if it lets them off the hook otherwise. Calmly explain that Mom’s income limits what she can buy at the grocery, and though you are happy to take her shopping and supplement her supplies, it is becoming too difficult. Ask how much they can contribute for these expenses. We hope they come through. Dear Annie: I felt the need to respond to the letter from “Gary,” wondering about appropriate dress for a funeral. I have attended more wakes and funerals than I can count, and I know what is considered “appropriate” attire. My husband passed away suddenly six months ago. We are a quiet family and the attendance at his funeral was astounding and unexpected. We did not notice what color clothes people wore, their necklines, collars, hemlines, sneakers or boots. What I can say, unequivocally, is that I, along with our 14-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter couldn’t have cared less what anyone had on. It only mattered that they came. -- Heartbroken in Connecticut Dear Heartbroken: Thank you for making it clear what is important. Our condolences.

C anadian PressVANCOUVER - Two CP rail trains crashed near

Golden, B.C., early Sunday morning sending sev-eral cars off of the tracks.

Transportation Safety Board spokesman Chris Krepski says an eastbound train hit another train around 2:25 a.m.

Several cars derailed, including the first two locomotives and the first car - an empty potash car - of the eastbound train.

The last car of the other train - a non-danger-ous goods car - also jumped the tracks.

Krepski says all of the cars remained upright and there have been no reports of leaks.

He says no injuries have been reported either.

HOPE, B.C. - Duke the police dog is being hailed as a hero by his handlers for tracking a missing man along a swollen and frigid river to a cave in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley.

RCMP say a 26-year-old man was reported missing around noon Wednesday while visiting the Othello Tunnels near the community of Hope.

The Mounties called out Duke, who led his handler from the nearby Abbotsford police de-partment along a dangerous, mountainous, two-kilometre riverside track.

They say about an hour later, Duke found the man hiding in a cave in the Coquihalla River, and the water level was quickly rising because of heavy rainfall.

The man was taken into custody and police say he was returned safely to a hospital.

Had it not been for Duke, police say the situa-tion could have had a grim ending.

VICTORIA - At least 500 British Columbia aboriginal leaders are set to meet this week with Premier Christy Clark on how all sides can deal with the impli-cations of a historic land rights ruling from Cana-da’s highest court.

The decision that granted aboriginal title to the Tsilhqot’in Nation in B.C.’s central Interior permeates all govern-ment and First Nations relations, including po-tentially lucrative and environmentally sensi-tive resource projects.

The June 2014 court ruling, which Tsilh-qot’in Chief Roger Wil-liam calls a legal weap-on, is poised to domi-nate proceedings at the gathering, set for Wednesday and Thurs-day.

Clark said last year’s all-chiefs meeting, which marked the first time First Nations lead-ers met with a govern-ment and its cabinet, was a major step in the long road towards rec-onciliation rather than a retreat back to court-rooms.

However, First Na-tions leaders left disap-pointed, saying the province did not adopt their document, which

sought to establish gov-ernment support for ab-original rights and title to lands, including reve-nue sharing.

But a spokeswoman the First Nations Sum-mit, B.C.’s largest ab-original organization, said she expects the chiefs will now debate a proposed joint govern-ment-First Nations doc-ument with the aim to move towards reconcili-ation.

Cheryl Casimer, a former chief of the St. Mary’s Band (?aq’am) near Cranbrook, said the chiefs were not pre-pared to attend the gathering without such a potential deal.

“We said there’s no way the leadership council is going to be asking the (First Na-tions) leadership in this province to come back together in September for just a photo-op,” Ca-simer said. “We need to have something. There needs to be something substantial.”

Casimer called the package a “form of a commitment document working on a joint agen-da, a joint action plan

on how to be able to move forward based on the principles of Tsilh-qot’in,” she said of the landmark court ruling.

Clark has said ignor-ing the Supreme Court of Canada decision would put B.C.’s future in peril. She said she wants to use the ruling to work together with

aboriginals.The Tsilhqot’in were

granted over 1,750 kilo-metres of land in the re-mote Nemiah Valley southwest of Williams Lake. It was the first time in Canadian history that a First Nation was given title to such a vast piece of land.

Chief Joe Alphonse,

one six Tsilhqot’in Na-tion chiefs, said the rul-ing ensures First Na-tions are involved and can influence decisions being considered by government and busi-ness.

“They’ve had control of our resources, and with this court case that shifted that balance of power back to a more respectful place for First Nations people,” he said.

Alphonse said the Tsilhqot’in and B.C. government are close to signing a separate deal that sets the ground rules for governance de-cisions from parks, per-mits and investments in Tsilhqot’in territory.

The agreement was scheduled to be com-plete last spring, but “we’re coming close to where we want to be,” he said.

Casimer said the talks scheduled for this week include individual First Nations meeting with cabinet ministers and one-on-one meet-ings between the pre-mier and chiefs.
