THE EAST KOOTENAY BY VELO: Riders are pictured converging at the start line of the inaugural Kootenay Gran Fondo, Sunday morning, September 8, at St. Eugene Mission Resort. The bike tour of the Cranbrook-Kimberley-Wasa-Fort Steele area featured more than 270 participants from far and wide. While the weekend initially threatened inclement weather, when Sunday morning rolled around, conditions were almost perfect for the event — cool with the rain holding off. Riders could choose to take part in the Piccolo Fondo (52 kilometres), the Medio Fondo (102 kilometres) or the Gran Fondo (152 kilometres). See these pages later this week for a follow up story.

Introducing Nutri MULTI for women featuring 1000 IU of VITAMIN D in a new

super-sized, pleasant tasting formula.

Why you should consider a LIQUID multivitamin supplement. Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more benefi cial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies: “liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.”The liquid advantageA liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefi ts over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues. Among the benefi ts are the following:• Liquids are quickly and readily absorbed, as they do not fi rst need to be broken down.

• Liquids contain no fi llers, binders or coatings that may interfere with proper dissolution.

• Liquids are fully dissolved upon ingestion, and allow for absorption of key nutrients along the entire gastrointestinal tract.

• Liquids are a welcome alternative for people who have trouble swallowing solid pills, particularly children, the elderly and those who are ill or convalescing.

• Due to enhanced absorption of nutrients, liquids may allow for lower general dosing than with solid pills.

It was a hazy day in the middle of September 1926. Forest fires

blazed in region, leaving a haze over the East Koo-tenay’s valleys. Still, the air was crisp. The first snowfall of the season was only a day away.

In the forest near Moyie Lake, five faces were barely visible amongst the brush. They watched silently barely moving, as a small grey elephants moved past them in the clearing.

Suddenly, there’s a crack and roar. The ele-phant pulls, but he can’t move forward. Little Charlie Ed is caught in a snare set by aboriginal trackers and circus han-dlers.

“Charlie Ed was jerk-ed back: the cord about his neck tightened as he plunged and threshed about. Time and again he was thrown back on his haunches by the spring of the trees. The hard cord noose bit deeper into his neck, choking him down. Poor little Charlie Ed! His re-lentless pursuers had beaten him at last,” wrote the Cranbrook Courier on September 16, 1926.

Finally, the elephant was back in captivity, sore but none the worse for wear for his adven-ture. The great saga of Cranbrook’s 1926 ele-phant stampede had come to an end.

These days, the story of how Cranbrook came to claim a small circus elephant as its own has steeped into the mists of legend. Most of us know a little about the tale, but not all. Some aren’t too sure why there is a bronze elephant statue in the heart of Cran-brook’s downtown.

It’s a tale that de-serves retelling, for even those who know the story may not be aware of what happened to Cranbrook’s famed ele-

The GreaT elephanT hunT of 1926

The day the elephants roared

Photo courtesy bucklesw.blogsPot.com

Charlie ed was caught in Moyie on Sept. 14, 1926, six weeks after his dramatic escape from Cranbrook’s railyards.

87 years ago this month, elephants roamed the hills around Cranbrook. This four-part series retells that classic story.

In part one, we revisit the stampedephants after they re-turned to the circus.

The trouble started on August 2, 1926, in Ed-monton. Founded in 1902 as the Otto Floto Dog and Pony Show, by 1926 the Sells-Floto Cir-cus was a massive pro-duction, travelling across Canada and the U.S. by rail.

There were 14 ele-phants in the menag-erie. But that fateful day in Edmonton, according to a Gordon Brown arti-cle in Bandstand, the Circus Historical Soci-ety’s newsletter, a small, yapping dog set the ele-phants off. One of the bulls, Mary, startled and ran from the railroad yards. The rest of the ele-phants quickly followed. They ran through Ed-monton’s streets, de-stroying gardens, tearing verandahs from houses, and startling many a res-ident.

By nightfall, all ex-cept Mary has been re-captured. Terrified, she retreated to the brush. Handlers brought out Trilby, the menagerie’s lead elephant. At the sight of Trilby, Mary shrieked like a scared child and ran to her. Tril-by wrapped her trunk around the smaller ele-phant, and they stood rumbling to each other as handlers secured the pair.

Four days later, on Friday, August 6, 1926, the Sells-Floto Circus had made its way to Cranbrook. On that well-remembered day, as the elephants were being led off the train, something startled them. Some reports are

that a steam whistle set them off.

This time, six ele-phants ran. According to the Courier’s Aug. 12 issue, one local man got a fright when a passing elephant swept him off his horse. A circus work-er suffered minor inju-ries in the rush.

Three head directly for the cemetery, where they grazed until circus handlers arrived and calmly took them back to the railyard.

But three elephants remained at large: Tillie, Myrtle and Charlie Ed. Tillie headed north into Wycliffe. Myrtle and Charlie Ed stuck togeth-er and barrelled toward Gold Creek.

Meanwhile, Canadi-an Pacific dispatcher Frank Guimont hurried-ly sent out a strange tele-graph down the railway line.

“To all trains east – keep lookout for ele-phants on track. Advise if sighted from the first telegraph office giving location.”

Cranbrook instantly became a household name all over the conti-nent. The two local newspapers, the Herald and the Courier, re-ceived requests for arti-cles about the stampede from Toronto, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Fran-cisco and Portland. Local reporters penned some 30,000 words in the coming weeks, with the story reaching as far as Cuba.

Tune in tomorrow when we learn how the elephants fared in the wilds of the East Koote-nay.

Two weeks ago there was a mass die-off of Kokanee Salmon in Lake Koocanusa. Thou-sands of fish floated on the surface near the Canada-US border.

Area B Director Heath Slee brought up the subject at the Re-gional District of East Kootenay meeting Fri-day, Sept. 6.

“Some of the local people complained that they saw all these car-casses of kokanee salm-on floating upside down

on the lake and in the reservoir,” Slee said. That was the first thing he’s heard about it hap-pening two weeks ago.

He found that Mon-tana Fish, Wildlife and Parks biologists at-tributed the die-off to a blue-green algae bloom.

The kokanee, 8-10 inches in size, came to the surface because of the long stretch of hot, dry weather this sum-mer on Koocanusa.

“The two-year-old salmon came up to feed on this algae, which

they typically do, and once they ingest this algae, it affects their bladder and so they are not able to dive down into the cooler waters again,”

he said, adding that unless they can reach those cooler depths, they cannot thrive.

“So consequently there was a huge die-off. It hasn’t affected the over-species, from what I’ve been told, it’s not harmful, it’s not going to affect the wildlife,” Slee said, adding that if you’re out there fishing and catching salmon there’s also no concern about eating the salmon.

Slee said it has hap-pened before and biolo-

gists believe it is the algae that caused it.

The salmon would be becoming mature and spawning in the fall

of 2014, so it may have an effect on future stock.

“Unfortunately a lot of those salmon have

died,” Slee said. “I don’t know what the end re-sult will be or how it will affect the salmon fish-ery next summer, but it

has been a major die-off at this stage and it has hurt in the past.”

According to an arti-cle in the Tobacco Val-ley News, Montana bi-ologist Mike Hensley estimated that 10,000 juvenile kokanee were dead as a result of the algae bloom.

Slee said he hadn’t heard of any local biolo-gists looking into the situation, but said they were probably aware of the die-off.

The kokanee were introduced into Koo-canusa a number of years ago and this year’s salmon will begin spawning in the creeks and rivers in the next few weeks.

On Thursday,Sept.6, a delegation presented their concerns to the Re-gional District of East Kootenay about rave parties they say are oc-curring at Koocanusa.

On Friday at the Re-gional District of East Kootenay board meet-ing, District of Elkford Director Dean McKer-racher said the local government body doesn’t have authority to do much about the

situation, but would like to do something about it.

“People are continu-ally asking us to do something, but our hands are tied,” he said. “We’ve written a letter to our MLA and to our MP.”

He said the issue is being bounced around between different par-ties.

He said the parties happen on a continual basis each weekend of the summer there are large parties and the issue has no easy fix.

“It’s a continual prob-lem and police force of course don’t have enough members to deal with the lake itself,” McKerracher said.

The Elk Valley RCMP division looks after the lake on the Baynes Lake side, while the Cran-brook division looks after this side.

McKerracher said the Elk Valley detachment has a limited number of staff on weekends as well.

“If they hear of some-thing going on then they’ll staff up on week-end,” he said, adding the extra enforcement for the parties ends up cost-ing taxpayers more money and makes stick-ing to a budget more dif-

ficult for local govern-ment.

He said on the May long weekend the police presence in that area is ramped up and even brings in a portable jail.

Over in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary the district payed for a temporary summer police presence on Christina Lake, which consisted of an officer and a boat. The delega-tion on Thursday asked whether something like that could be pursued for Koocanusa.

“They have an officer

that works two months, they supply him with a boat and residence and he cruises the lake ev-eryday of the week,” he said. “They don’t have the problems we have as far as large parties go.”

Cabins and proper-ties surround much of Christina Lake, whereas Koocanusa has more open areas.

“We could probably supply one officer, but what would one officer is going to do, I’m not sure,” McKerracher said, as the parties sometimes get upwards of 2,000 people.

When it comes to raves, RDEK’s hands are tied, Director says

for The TownsmanEast Kootenay Regional Hospital’s

heliport is receiving approximately $450,000 in Interior Health funded up-grades to maintain an important trans-port link for patients of the region.

The hospital upgrades will increase the heliport size and elevate it to ac-commodate new Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) helicopters.

“Interior Health relies on STARS he-licopters to provide life-saving trans-port to critically ill or injured patients who need a higher level of care,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. “These upgrades will ensure that East Kootenay Regional Hospital’s heliport is equipped to accommodate the new, larger helicopters STARS will be using.”

In early 2014, STARS will move to new, larger AW 139 helicopters. These new helicopters will allow STARS to do transports across greater distances without refueling. Upgrades to the EKRH heliport will ensure it meets Transport Canada standards for these larger helicopters.

“Interior Health is committed to

getting patients the care they need in the right location as quickly as possi-ble,” said IH Board Chair Norman Em-bree. “With our large geographic area, it is important for Interior Health to have different transport options avail-able in the East Kootenay. STARS trans-fers, in addition to fixed wing and ground-based transport services through our High Acuity Response Team and BC Ambulance Services, support the network of services we provide.”

Last month, Kelowna-based Delnor Construction was awarded the con-tract for the heliport project through a public tender process.

Construction will begin Sept. 9 and is expected to last six to eight weeks. Work includes expanding the current diametre of the heliport by seven me-tres (from 19 metres to 26 metres) and raising it by about one metre.

During construction, air transfers will continue to take place from the Cranbrook Airport. Construction will not impact patient/visitor access to hospital or its services.

Upgrades to EKRH heliport start Sept. 9


OpiniOn/features

Hello Wendy:My girlfriend sent your column to me

and I would be interested in asking you a few questions.

My girlfriend said that she comes to see you when she needs help and that the information you give her has helped her a lot. I have been seeing a man that I think I may move in with but his children seem to have created a problem since they’ve found out. I was wondering if you could tell me if they like me or not?

I was also wondering if you think the children want my boyfriend and their mom to get back together? My boyfriend assures me this is not so. Do you see us getting married in the future. Part of me wants to believe him that the children will adjust once we move in together but I’m not sure. What do your guides think about this situation with the children and my boyfriend?

My mom wants to come and visit and perhaps stay for a few months but my boyfriend does not really like her? What should I do in that situation? My mom and I have always been close and she has helped me out a lot.

Extremely Torn

Dear Extremely Torn:I gave my guide the names of the chil-

dren that you are asking about and this is his answer: The male of the children seems quite hesitant because of lack of attention from the father. The second oldest female does not particularly like you because of the negative intent of the

mother. The youngest female is a happy child and is fine with her father and you being together.

Of course it is only natural that the children would want their mom and dad to get back together again. Unfortunately, for them and fortunately for you we do

not see this happening on this plane in this life-time. Please remember they are just children and are fearful and you must have patience and kindness when you are dealing with them. We also feel that the rela-

tionship that you have with this man is still quite new. Therefore, everyone needs to adjust.

However, we feel your boyfriend needs to spend more time with his son in order to build a solid relationship with him.

Your boyfriend has a tendency to be a bit of a workaholic, as do you. This type of attitude towards work that you both have does not build a good solid foundation for a family atmosphere. We feel that you are both very compatible when it comes to your work ethics. We do not feel you are both compatible when it comes to social activities or family functions and relationships. This mean we feel his per-sonality is more of an introvert, whereas you have a very extroverted personality. This definitely has and can cause some problems with the relationship.

You and he haven’t given the children enough time to adjust to the relationship. This means he has not spent the time he should have with his children because he

has been working a lot and then spend-ing most of his other time with you; he does not know how his children feel. You are both caught up in each other that you are not considering their feelings. It takes time to build trust in a relationship and that includes the children. If you and he are not spending time with his chil-dren then what can you expect these children to feel and think.

I like your mom she is a good person and loves you a great deal. She is an hon-est and extremely down to earth person. We feel she has not had an easy life rais-ing her children but she has done a great job. Ièm glad that you and your mom have a good relationship and she is cor-rect in saying that your relationship with this man is going too fast. Listen to your mom — she knows what she is talking about. I agree that you need to slow down and think about what you should do.

Here is what we think would be a good solution to help you decide what to do in your situation. Why not wait for a few months and let mom come and visit and bring her over to your boyfriend’s house for supper and whatever. Introduce her to his children and let them get to know her as well. Your boyfriend will see how she acts with his children and may get to know and like her a bit better. Also, try to spend more time with his children and get to know each of them individually. When your mom leaves which will be in or around November then decide what you want to do before you go back to work.

Wendy

The first casualty of this war between Liberals, teachers is the B.C. taxpayer

Those familiar adversaries, the B.C. Liberal government and the B.C. Teachers Federation, square off in B.C. Supreme Court Monday in a case with far-reaching implications, not least in fi-nancial terms.

“A conservative estimate of the potential cost to gov-ernment of the remedies sought by the BCTF in this action is in the range of $6 billion,” says the provincial government in its opening statement.

That’s the conservative estimate? One shudders to contemplate what dollar fig-ure might turn up in the province’s notion of a worst-case scenario.

The union, in its opening statement, went at the costing in a roundabout way. Seizing on a preliminary suggestion from the government side that “damages would be in excess of $500 million,” the BCTF then says: “Teachers estimate a much higher number.”

So “a much higher number than half a billion dollars” versus “a conservative esti-mate of $6 billion.” Either way, the stakes for taxpayers are mightily disturbing.

Nor is that the end of the implications of a court action that could also reshape labour relations across the broad public sector, not just education.

For those who came in late, the case has its roots in actions taken by the Liber-als not long after they were elected to of-fice a dozen years ago. Having promised not to tear up public sector contracts in-herited from the previous NDP govern-ment, the Liberals proceeded in early 2002 to do just that, stripping contract provi-sions in both the health and education sectors.

The unions fought back through the courts, and in 2007 won a landmark victo-ry at the Supreme Court of Canada. The high court recognized the right to collec-

tive bargaining for the first time and di-rected the Liberals to provide unspecified relief for the workers whose rights had been trampled.

Though that case involved mainly the Hospital Employees Union, the win pro-

vided a springboard for a followup victory by the BCTF. In 2011, the B.C. Su-preme Court found that teachers had also been similarly victimized by Lib-eral-led contract-stripping and gave the province a year to rectify the problem.

The Liberals responded with the same approach they had undertaken with the HEU, and sought to negotiate a compen-sation agreement with the BCTF that would preclude further court action and/or a legislative solution. But where the HEU - then led by Judy Darcy, now NDP MLA for New Westminster - was persuad-ed to settle for $85 million in compensa-tion and other relief, the Liberals got no-where with the BCTF.

After a dozen or so fruitless bargaining sessions in the spring and fall of 2011, the Liberals opted to go the legislative route. Bill 22 of the 2012 legislature session tried to deal with the contract-stripping retroac-tively and with the need for compensation by providing $200 million in targeted fund-ing for the K-12 system over three years.

The union responded by going back to court. Its challenge to Bill 22 is the prime focus of the court action that gets under-way next week.

Among other things, the BCTF’s open-ing statement describes the bill as a “sham” response to the earlier court rul-ing, and flatly accuses the Liberals of hav-ing launched a “calculated strategy to feign to participate” in negotiations, all the while bargaining in “bad faith.”

The government responded in kind: “The BCTF’s opening statement evidences an unfortunate tendency to characterize any government strategy with which the

BCTF disagrees as having been undertak-en in bad faith.

“Quite apart from the propriety of recit-ing speculative theories rather than antic-ipated evidence in an opening statement, the BCTF’s assertions are untrue, largely irrelevant, and an unwarranted attack on the integrity of multiple government offi-cials involved in assisting government in devising a response to a challenging la-bour situation.”

By way of remedies, the BCTF is asking the court to restore its collective agree-ment as it stood in 2002, including class sizes and staffing ratios in place then.

They also want damages sufficient to compensate teachers for a dozen years of lost ground at the bargaining table.

By way of response, the government argues that the negotiations leading up to Bill 22 met the Supreme Court of Canada definition of the right to collective bar-gaining as “a right to a process, it does not guarantee a certain substantive and eco-nomic outcome.” The case is set for 19 days of hearings in front of Justice Susan Griffin. She’s the same judge who ruled against the government in 2011, making her uniquely positioned to decide if the Liberal response was sufficient.

Presuming the courtroom proceedings wrap up in a month or so, the parties are then scheduled to proceed to the bargain-ing table for another round of contract talks, where the Liberals are hoping to se-cure a deal lasting as long as 10 years. But given the evident gulf between them on the very meaning of collective bargaining, it is difficult to imagine them making much progress.

In a column Friday, I mistakenly wrote that ICBC’s annual collection of fees and fines on behalf of the province exceeds “half a million dollars.” The correct figure is “half a billion dollars.” My apologies for getting it wrong.

TRE VOR CR AWLEYSports Editor

The Kootenay Ice came out of Washington state with a better look at their veterans and prospects after losing three games to U.S. Divi-sion teams at a tourna-ment hosted by the Tri-City Americans.

Kootenay found their scoring touch on Satur-day, however, they lost 8-6 to the Everett Silver-tips. The night before, they fell 5-1 to the Spo-kane Chiefs and opened their preseason sched-ule with a 4-1 loss to the Americans on Thursday night.

However, the club’s coaching and manage-ment staff is more con-cerned with player eval-uations at this point rather than the wins and losses column.

“We certainly saw some very good things out of some players and we saw some things with some players that need improvement,” said Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “Overall, losing three games this weekend wasn’t the point of this—the point

of this weekend was to see what guys can play in the league, what guys can play in certain situa-tions, and how commit-ted and dedicated some guys are going to play, coming in as veterans.”

The goals came fast and furious on Satur-day, as Kootenay and Everett lit the red lamp multiple times in every period, however, the Sil-vertips’ offence proved to be too much to han-dle.

Kootenay got early goals from Kyle O’Con-nor and Mathew Alfaro, but Everett jumped to a 3-2 lead at the end of the first frame on goals from Kevin Davis, Logan Aas-man and Manraj Hayer.

Collin Shirley and Jordyn Boyd potted

Kootenay markers in the second period, but the Silvertips kept scoring, on goals from Austin Adams, Patrick Bajkov and Hayer, as Everett led 6-4 after 40 minutes.

The Ice made a push in the third, with goals from Shirley and Austin Vetterl, however, Everett responded in kind, on efforts from Bajkov and Ivan Nikolishin.

“Obviously, we don’t like to lose, it’s not about losing, but you know what? When you give up eight goals, preseason or not, that’s embarrass-ing, so we’ve got a lot of work to do,” said McGill.

Wyatt Hoflin was in net for the Ice, making 26 saves in the loss, while Kootenay put 25 shots on ‘Tips goalten-der Nik Amundrud.

Kootenay capitalized twice on two powerplay opportunities, while the ‘Tips made good on three of six chances.

The night before, Kootenay fell 5-1 to the Chiefs, in a game that was commandeered by the 20-year-olds on both teams.

Zach McPhee, one of

Kootenay’s overagers this year, scored his team’s only goal, while Mike Aviani and Mitch Holmberg, two 20-year-olds for Spokane, both notched a pair of goals. Colton Bobyk, 17, rounded out the offence for the Chiefs.

Ice prospect Jayden Sittler got his first taste of WHL action in goal, making 26 saves in a los-ing cause, while Eric Williams and Tyson Verhelst shared net-minding duties for the Chiefs.

Kootenay will have a chance to get some practice under their

belts before resuming the preseason for a pair of games in the Crows-nest Pass next weekend.

“We have a good week of practice coming up,” said McGill. “We need to look at a lot of things and get ready for two very important pre-season games that we need to get ready for the regular season with.”

NOTES: The Ice lost defenceman Landon Peel to injury in the first game of the tournament against Tri-City on Thursday. McGill said Peel will be re-evaluat-ed on Monday and is listed as day-to-day.

Nitros wrap up preseason with 4-1 win over RockiesTRE VOR CR AWLEY

Sports Editor

In a rematch up in Invermere, the Kimber-ley Dynamiters skated away with a 4-1 win over the Columbia Val-ley Rockies on Saturday night.

It wraps up their two-game exhibition season, which began with a tilt against the same team in Kimber-ley last week that ended in a 3-3 tie.

Eric Buckley, Austin Hancherow, Jared Mar-chi and Tyson Kling-spohn supplied the of-fence for the Nitros.

Jeremy Mousseau and Braydon Rubisch shared netminding du-ties for the club, split-ting the game at the halfway mark.

Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks said he was very impressed with his team’s second outing.

“It went really well,” Bancks said. “I thought we showed a lot of growth as a team, we had a different group of veterans in the lineup and both goaltenders played really well.

“Mousseau, espe-cially, probably early in the game, kept us in it, then I though we just out-skated them a little bit in the second and third and just took over in the third.”

The Nitros have re-leased two more play-ers, but gained Dylan Sibbald, a veteran from last year who was cut from the Wenatchee Wild, in the NAHL, and currently carry a roster of 24 skaters.

Bancks is taking a wait and see approach to see what will happen with other players that get released from Jr. A teams.

“I’m very happy with what we’ve got here,” said Bancks. “They’ve worked really hard, we had a good workout at the track and they pushed themselves re-ally hard and we seem to be pulling together as a team, so you don’t re-ally want to disrupt that.

“But they also have to play up to your ex-pectations and if they can do that, hopefully we don’t have to make a lot of changes.”

Williams overcomes Azarenka to claim

US Open titleHOWARD FENDRICH

Associated Press

NEW YORK - Fussing with her skirt and flub-bing her shots, Serena Williams was troubled in the U.S. Open final by the swirling air and the strong play of Victoria Azarenka.

After one miss, Wil-liams declared, “I can’t play in this wind.” After blowing a big second-set lead, Williams chucked her racket toward the sideline, and it bounced back onto the court.

In the end, Williams pulled herself together, as she usually does when it matters the most. Facing her first test of the past two weeks, the No. 1-seeded Wil-liams overcame No. 2 Azarenka 7-5, 6-7 (6), 6-1 on Sunday for a fifth championship at Flush-

ing Meadows and sec-ond in a row.

Williams, who turns 32 in 2 1/2 weeks, raised her Grand Slam singles title count to 17, the sixth-most in history and one shy of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert. Williams collected a $3.6 million prize, in-cluding a $1 million bonus for producing the best results during the North American sum-mer hard-court circuit leading up to the U.S. Open.

Helped by nine aces, one at 126 mph, Wil-liams improved to 67-4 with a career-best nine titles in 2013. Since a first-round exit at the 2012 French Open, Wil-liams is 98-5 with 14 ti-tles, winning four of the past six Grand Slam tournaments.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Work with a partner directly, and eliminate any in-between people; otherwise, your frus-tration level could soar. You will find a way to resolve conflicts even before they begin. Look at the existing problem rather than waiting for a new one to arise. Tonight: Be a duo. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Defer to others, especially as they seem to be vested in the outcome of a certain situation. You tend to be more neutral. Your concern might be whether you’ll be treated properly. Try to change your boundaries or establish your limits differently. Tonight: Take in new vistas. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Mellow out if you can. At some point during the day, you’ll note a substantial change in your mood. You might feel as if you are on the warpath; donning war paint might not be the best idea. A partner could be chang-ing before your eyes. Tonight: Make sure you get some exer-

cise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) While others might be difficult, you will find a way to work through the issues at hand. The way you speak to someone could change his or her outlook. Give this person time to rethink his or her position. Tonight: Greet a loved one as if you’re seeing him or her for the first time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might choose to work from home rather than head out the door. You might need some time to yourself. You also seem to have a low frustration point, and your temper could be close to the surface. It would be best to stay away from crowds for a while. Tonight: All smiles. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your ability to start a conver-sation and keep it going will come into play. As you will dis-cover, you have a lot of anger bubbling up. You might feel as if you can discuss what is going on with you at this point in time. Tonight: Go out and let off some steam with a friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Observe what is going on be-hind the scenes. You might be more possessive than you realize. Vulnerability could be at the root of this behavior. You are likely to push someone away and regret it later. Deal with your feelings instead. Tonight: Take some time to yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are in your element, and others naturally follow your lead. You know what is needed ... or so you think. Someone could let you know otherwise. A conflict could arise, or a lot of attitude could be exchanged. To-night: Consider how you might seem controlling to others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Continue to lie low. You will enjoy interacting less with oth-ers and perhaps fitting in some time for a novel you have want-ed to read. A family member at a distance might display some an-ger or resentment. Understand where he or she is coming from. Tonight: Keep it low-key. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Look beyond the obvious, and you will be able to note what

is not being said. You might be confused about how to approach a difficult situation involving a friend or loved one. Apparently, this person feels as though it is a touchy matter. To-night: Read between the lines. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pressure builds. Your plans might not go up in smoke, but don’t be surprised if someone else’s do. You could be unsure about how to handle this situ-ation. Do what you know has worked before in order to avoid a crisis. Tonight: Stay up later than you usually do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) If you’re feeling frustrated, work on completing a project; you will find that you feel a lot better as a result. Detach, and you will be able to see what is really bother-ing you. It would be wise to step back and avoid starting a fight for no reason. Tonight: Watch a favorite TV show. BORN TODAY Comedian Adam Sandler (1965), actor Hugh Grant (1960), singer/songwriter Otis Redding (1941) ***

Dear Annie: My mother chooses to hide the fact that her boyfriend is a pedophile. He abused me 15 years ago, when I was a teen-ager, and it still haunts me. Mom broke up with him for a short period of time, but they got back together, and the abuse started again. She didn’t want to press charges because it would mess up his retire-ment. She is still seeing this man. I have had great therapy. My wonderful husband and I have a 5-year-old daughter. We used to allow her to stay overnight at Grandma’s until she told us that Grandma took her to her boyfriend’s house. I wrote my mother a letter and told her that as long as this man is in her life, we wouldn’t be. That was a year ago. Our daughter has not seen her grandmother since then. With therapy, I have learned that the abuse was not my fault, and I will not subject my-self or my daughter to this man. Shortly af-ter I was born, my mother dated a kind man who always treated me like a daughter. I am still close to him, and he continues to be a big part of my life. He’s all the father I need. I miss my mother, but have no room for her in my life as long as she and this man are together. Why would a mother pick a sexual abuser over her own daughter and grand-daughter? -- Daughter of a Sick Woman Dear Daughter: Your mother is so desper-ate to have a man in her life that she puts him first in all things. She allowed him to abuse you because she feared losing him. She continues to see him over your objections because she values that relationship above the one she has with you. Your mother, sad to say, is not the first woman to behave this way, and she won’t be the last. But we are glad you have broken the pattern. Protecting your child is your primary obligation, and you are doing it by keeping your daughter away from your mother’s boyfriend. Dear Annie: Our child is getting married soon. A relative uses a service dog for a physiological disorder. The dog has not been trained by a licensed organization. Rather, the relative trained the dog herself. Unfor-tunately, he’s not completely well behaved in public. He barks out of turn and grooms himself inappropriately. He lies down and sprawls out, consuming a lot of floor space. We heard that he once nipped someone’s hand. Normally, we don’t concern ourselves with whether or not this is a legitimate, trained service dog. However, with all of the small children and multiple people at this wed-ding, the bride and groom do not wish to have this dog present. Based on the disabil-ities laws and requirements for service dogs in our state, we’ve decided that we do not need to include this particular dog. So how do I tell this relative? Do I call her? Include a note in the invitation? How do I diplomati-cally word such a request? -- Dog-Free Wed-ding Dear Wedding: Please don’t put this in the invitation. Call the relative and tell her that you are so sorry you cannot accommodate her dog at the wedding due to the large number of guests and small children. Per-haps you could offer her a “plus one” so she can bring a friend. But be prepared for her to put up a fuss about it and threaten not to come. How you handle that is up to you. Dear Annie: “Awaiting Your Help” said one husband tags along with his wife to her once-a-month night out with five other women. He may be demanding to come with her. He may be a controlling abuser who will not let his wife have a life of her own. Her friends should gently probe that possibility. One day, she may not be allowed to show up at all. -- Just Sayin’ Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The Citizens for Jumbo Wild checkpoint group that has been camped on Farnham Creek Road for the past month may potentially face another injunction or an addendum to the existing injunction, which was adjourned indefinitely in a court hearing last week.

According to Glacier Resorts Ltd.’s Vancou-ver-based lawyer Greg Tucker, his firm has ad-vised the defendant’s lawyer they may seek a second injunction to prevent the checkpoint group from going up to the Farnham Glacier to monitor and document the company’s activities.

“There is a possibility that there could be such an injunction. That’s what we’ve advised legal counsel for the defen-

dant. But it has not been brought yet,” said Mr. Tucker.

Camp member K. Linda Kivi told The Pio-neer that, on August 24th, some camp mem-bers followed Glacier Resorts Ltd. vice presi-dent Grant Costello, photographing him and a work crew as they dug test holes near the bot-tom of Farnham Glacier.

“They said (our) ac-tivities were not allowed under the master devel-opment agreement and would constitute tres-pass,” said Ms. Kivi.

After the August 26th hearing on the first ad-journed injunction, each side in the case pointed to one of two separate decisions by the judge whereby one went the plaintiff’s way and the other went the defendant’s way.

According to Van-

couver-based lawyer and the defendant’s main legal counsel, Jason Gratl, the judge di-rected Mr. Costello be personally present at any future injunction hearings in case he is ordered to be cross-ex-amined,

“It’s something we asked for and is to our advantage,” said Mr. Gratl.

Conversely, Mr. Tucker pointed to the judge awarding costs to the developers and said it was because of the technical legal position Mr. Gratl took. Normal-ly, in the given circum-stances (developers not wanting to proceed with an injunction because access is no longer blocked), adjournment should be agreed to, said Mr. Tucker, but in this case when he made a motion to adjourn, Mr.

Gratl instead insisted the injunction proceed or be dismissed.

“I truly do not under-stand why that position was taken,” said Mr. Tucker.

According to a Citi-zens for Jumbo Wild press release, the posi-tion was taken because the group really wanted legal judgement on the issues around the in-junction.

“We wanted this case heard because we were not blockading, as they claimed in their injunc-tion application, and we wanted to establish what authority they have to engage in activities that

we say are in violation of their commitments,” said Ms. Kivi in the press release, adding the group will continue to operate the camp on Farnham Creek road.

Mr. Tucker disagreed with Ms. Kivi’s insistence that the camp was not acting as a bloackade.

“The van was parked right across the road. There is absolutely no way it would have been safe for my client to go around it either to the right or the left, keeping in mind there were was a work crew with several vehicles, one of which was towing an excavator. Their intent was un-

doubtedly to block the road, but we didn’t get into that in court,” said Mr. Tucker, adding that he understood (at the time of his comment on Tuesday, August 27th) the van had been moved to Invermere.

Ms. Kivi confirmed on August 27th that the van, which is spray-painted with a Jumbo Wild slogan, was indeed in Invermere, but said that it simply needed a checkup and cautioned against read-ing too much into its lo-cation.

“The presence of the van is a red herring,” said Ms. Kivi, adding it dis-

tracts from the real is-sues surrounding the checkpoint. But accord-ing to Mr. Tucker the van could be just the spark for more legal action.

“If the van appears at the site, back across the road, we’ll be back in court,” said Mr. Tucker.

Nelson-based lawyer Judah Harrison (helping with the case on the de-fendant’s side) was quick to return the vol-ley.

“If information arises that the proponents are acting beyond their legal right in this matter, we will go forward. This matter is not over,” said Mr. Harrison.
