On Saturday we had another warm day with a longer skate race. Marielle Ackerman came out with a medal, Mackenzie Mclean placed 7th and Molly Miller pulled out the gold medal once again. Annika Ackerman was 15th. Overall it was a great weekend of racing had by all, we will be heading to Vernon B.C this coming weekend for the next race of the season.

The City of Kimberley will be taking a hard look at the Kim-berley Community Develop-ment Society, and its role in the city’s economic growth.

KCDS was established to fund and administer Kimberley economic development activi-ties. The mandate of the society is: To plan, develop, activate, promote and operate commu-nity, recreational, historical and cultural attractions in the City of Kimberley.

The Society was involved in operating the Kimberley Ski Hill before it was sold to Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, building both Trickle Creek and Bootleg Gap Golf Courses and both the former Happy Hans Camp-ground and the new Riverside Campground and mini putting course.

It currently manages the Kimberley Conference & Ath-lete Training Centre (KCATC); Cominco Gardens; Kimberley Riverside Campground and the Snack Hut building.

In a report to Council, Direc-tor of Economic Development, Kevin Wilson says that at this time the future of KCDS is un-certain, as is the future of some of the assets it manages.

“New tourism assets are not part of the City economic devel-opment agenda,” Wilson writes. “As well, it is not desirable for KCDS to be a caretaker and it needs to continually add value. One vision for the evolution of KCDS is a self-sufficient organi-zation that supports the founda-tions of community economic development and contributes non-tax municipal revenue through community enterprises that earn a return.”

KCDS has been tasked with completing a cost benefit analy-sis on municipal management of the Conference Centre by January 31, 2016.

The City’s contribution to the Conference Centre is scheduled to reduce by a further 10 per

cent this year, and every year thereafter. The City is also ask-ing KCDS to prepare a prospec-tus to market the sale of the Conference Centre by the end of June 2016.

Conference Centre revenues increased $16,500 or 17.5% over 2014. In 2015 the operating grant from the City was $29,000 or 19% less than in 2014, total-ing $125,400. A salesperson to specifically market the Confer-ence Centre has been retained as well.

It is now recognized that the idea of marketing the centre as a para-athletic training centre is not viable.

Wilson reported that The first five years of operation have been plagued by costly mainte-nance issues with the building’s heating and drainage systems. In addition to the operating-grant, the City continues to make $150,000 annual pay-ments on the $2 million con-struction loan.

It may be better, Wilson says, for the centre to be directly managed by the City or be sold to the private sector if a buyer could be found.

Riverside Campground is a success story. Campground oc-cupancy continues to grow an-nually, averaging 82% in 2015, up from 35% in 2004 (131 sites total). Half the campground-op-erating surplus is returned to the City and half is retained in a campground capital fund. An average of $80,000 has been re-turned to the City annually over the past five years.

KCDS has also been asked to look at its other operations. By June 30, 2016, a cost-benefit analysis on municipal owner-ship of Cominco Gardens will be completed, and other reve-nue-generating activities will be explored. By January 31, 2016, KCDS will complete a cost-ben-efit analysis on municipal own-ership of the Snack Hut build-ing. KCDS will undertake Board development and review the KCDS Mandate.

City to take a look at KCDSThe Conference Centre is under the micro-scope, with a potential sale not ruled out

news/featuresdaily townsman / daily bulletin

1: If you were to become Cranbrook urban wildlife, would you rather be a deer or a skunk? And why?

After some serious consideration, I have to say that I would prefer to become one of Cranbrook’s local skunks. The deer receive mixed reviews all throughout town but no one really minds the skunks. And despite the offending musk, skunks are really quite adorable.

2: If the East Kootenay should become its own country, where should the capital be?

Well, as we are the “Key City” it seems perfectly logical that Cranbrook would become the capital of the East Kootenay Republic (EKR has a nice sound to it).

3: If the East Kootenay should become its own country, should West Kootenay residents require visas?

Visas as proof of residence make sense to me, as long as they are easy to obtain and are recognized worldwide.

4: What do you specifically seek out at the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market?

It’s not a fulfilling day at the market without a stop at Mama’s Dumplings; and without fail, I always purchase a few of the beeswax tapers and a local blend of tea.

5: Who’s your favourite Cranbrook mu-sician or band? If it’s yourself, you have to say.

I may be biased, but my favourite local musician would have to be my younger brother, Theo Moore, of the Good Ol’ Goats and Bonecrusher & Friends.

6: You have a night off — what’s your entertainment of choice in the East Koote-nay?

If Alex Webster happens to be playing at The Byng, I can be found on the couch-es or the dance floor with his girlfriend. Otherwise it’s books and tea at home for this lady.

7: If you could bring anything to the East Kootenay that isn’t already here, what would you bring and why?

I think we really need more in the way of creative arts programs at the College of

the Rockies. Selkirk College in Nelson has some really tremendous courses that I’d like to see offered in Cranbrook.

8: One person, living or dead, you’d like to have an alcoholic beverage with?

I’d give my left leg to find out what Dame Maggie Smith’s drink of choice is and then spend the evening indulging with her.

9: Favourite Cranbrook historical fig-ure?

I can’t say that I find Colonel James Baker particularly inspiring. In recent his-tory, however, I have been and continue to be inspired by the works and life of Manwoman.

10: Your favourite annual fundraising event?

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes has to be my favourite annual fundraiser for obvious reasons.

11: Favourite movie of all time? Why?Without a doubt, The Princess Bride

remains my favourite film ever. Amid all the perfect little Disney fairytales I grew up with, The Princess Bride offered fenc-ing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, mir-acles...

12: Last book you read?

I just finished California by Edan Lep-ucki, a novel set in an apocalyptic Ameri-ca following an economic crash that I found too feasible for my liking.

13: What is something most people won’t already know about you?

I was in speech therapy for awhile when I still lived in Calgary, which is prob-ably the reason I speak so particularly these days...though I still can’t pronounce my –ing sound perfectly.

14: What’s your biggest superstition and why?

To this day I always look up to see the first star in the sky and cast my wish. Some people say they feel small and insignifi-cant when they look up at the sky, but I always feel connected to something great-er than myself.

15: As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Among the usual dreams of veterinari-an, singer, actress and French ingénue, I always wanted to be a witch when I grew up. Goal accomplished.

16: Favourite Cranbrook Street?10th Avenue is my favourite place to

be, mainly because that’s where Lotus Books and Max’s Place are!

17: Least favourite Cranbrook street?The Strip is stressful and rather under-

whelming in appearances.18: If you could tell a visitor to the East

Kootenay anything, what would you say?If you ever want to find out where your

limits lie, set out to scale Fisher Peak. You may be surprised at what you overcome on the mountain and within yourself.

19: What superpower do you desire?Shape shifting would be a dream come

true; I’d love nothing more than to ride the thermals as a raven and howl at the moon as wolf.

20: Favourite coffee shop in Cranbrook or Kimberley? Why?

Of all the coffee joints in the immediate area, Max’s Place is my favourite. The staff there are always very pleasant and the lattes are consistently sublime!

Twenty Questions Answered

AlexA lAing Moore

For the townsmanCranbrook Commu-

nity Theatre (CCT) brings Tennessee Wil-liams’ Pulitzer Prize winning play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” to the Stage Door Theatre in January 2016.

First presented in 1955, the themes of this play cannot be tied to any era. It’s a sprawling, high-energy tale that fits somewhere between “Dallas” and Shake-speare. The audience will join the Pollitt fami-ly as they celebrate Big Daddy’s 65th birthday. Set in the bedroom of Big Daddy’s troubled son Brick and his wife Maggie, family mem-bers clash over their fu-tures, face truths, and tackle the question of who deserves to take hold of the largest plan-tation in the Delta.

Director Terry Miller has gathered his dream cast and crew to tackle this classic. “This is a rich story, with complex characters and requires a highly skilled group to make the best of it,” says Miller. “Although every-thing about this play ap-pears simple, none of it is, and I am so very lucky

to have this group of wonderful people help-ing me put this show to-gether.”

“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” runs for 10 nights; January 15 & 16, January 20-23 and 27-30, 2016 at the Studio/Stage Door, 11-11th Ave South, Cranbrook. Tickets are available at Lotus Books. All performances at 8:00 p.m.

The second show of CCT’s 2015/2016 sea-son, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” continues the theme of family. The families we are born into, marry into and the families we choose - our friends. The final show of the season is Neil Si-mon’s “Odd Couple” set to hit the stage in May 2016.

CCT has been enter-taining Cranbrook and area audiences for more than 50 years. The soci-ety strives to promote and develop local tal-ent: on stage, behind the scenes, or in the di-rector’s chair. CCT be-lieves theatre, music, dance, and art play an important part in the community, and are pleased to call the Stu-dio/Stage Door home.

Free Christmas Fun for families

with preschoolers

On Wednesday, De-cember 16, families with preschool aged children can enjoy a morning full of free holiday celebra-tions at Strongstart and Treehouse’s family drop in celebration. From 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. at the Kim-berley Early Learning Centre a wide variety of holiday activities will be offered, along with lunch at 11:15. Students from McKim school will be on hand to help out. Join us for an action packed morning of Christmas fun! Strongstart registra-tion is required. Please bring your child’s birth certificate if they are not registered.

StrongStart is a free, drop-in early learning program for pre-school-aged children ac-companied by a parent or caregiver. A drop in session includes circle time, time to participate together in play based learning centres (i.e. arts & crafts, building toys, literacy games and gross motor), opportunities to meet and make connec-tions with other families attending the centre and a nutritious snack pro-vided by the centre. The program is located in the Early Learning Centre (1850 Warren Avenue – lower level.) Program times are Monday, Tues-day, Thursday and Fri-day 9:00 - 12:00 am. Family Fun Night is Wednesday from 3:30 – 6:30 where you can eat and play with your pre-schooler. For more in-formation on the Strong-start program please leave a message for Gina Panattoni at 250-427-5309 or Carol Fairhurst at 250-687-4681.

Treehouse is a free drop-in program in the gym  at the Early Learn-ing Centre. Families with children aged 5 and up are invited to come play and meet other families.  Share parent-ing tips, access resource information, make friends and have fun!    Transportation can be arranged.  Tuesdays  10:00 - 12:00. For Tree-house information please call: Diana Card

The years between birth and school-age are a critical time in a child’s life. The experiences that children have in the early years influence their future health, well-being, and life-long learning. Children who have had exposure to language rich environ-ments and play based early learning experienc-es are more likely to de-

velop the skills, knowl-edge and dispositions to support their success in school.

Some of the benefits children experience from attending these programs are increased development physically, linguistically, socially, emotionally and cogni-tively. Parents and care-givers gain knowledge of activities they can try at home to further support their child’s learning,

learn about a range of guidance strategies that support social and emo-tional development, re-ceive information on other services in the community, acquire knowledge of healthy snacks they can contin-ue to feed their child at home and/or pack for that child when he or she starts school. Call 250-427-5309 for more infor-mation.

Government must take real action on food

securityNorm macdoNaldMLA Columbia River

Revelstoke

This morning I woke up to another news re-port that food prices are going to rise even fur-ther in 2016, and one of the significant causes of this increase could be climate change. Food costs in Canada rose by 4.1% in 2015, a rate that is much higher than any other industrialized country, according to CBC News.

People in this area care deeply about the food they eat, and as a region, we are looking more and more at grow-ing food locally. There are numerous projects and organizations that have taken serious steps

towards planning for a future where we are much more able to feed ourselves.

For example, the re-lease of the Revelstoke Food Security Strategy shows Revelstoke’s real commitment to ad-dressing not only the need for more local food production but also the need to ensure access to affordable food for all

our citizens. And in the Adapting to Climate Change in Kimberley re-port from 2010, food se-curity was listed as a Top 10 priority for the city.

The Columbia Basin Trust has listed in its Strategic Priorities doc-ument for the next five years support for local agricultural production and access to healthy food.

Local governments, community-based orga-nizations, and citizens are doing their part to bring this critically im-portant issue into focus. Real plans are being de-veloped. Recommenda-tions are being imple-mented. And we are starting to see early re-sults from that effort. But it is past time for the province to step in and meet its obligations to ensure we can feed our-selves into the future.

From Page 3The Opposition

Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food, composed of 5 NDP MLAs and one Inde-pendent MLA, recently released their first re-port. Recommenda-tions ranged from re-moving regulatory and administrative barriers to farming through to the promotion of BC farm products and busi-nesses. Specifically, there were recommen-dations to help us pre-pare for the challenges that will increase due to climate change.

Recommendations state that the Ministry of

Agriculture should dis-close the long-term im-plications of all future legislative and policy change, and Cabi-net-ordered ALR exclu-sions, in the context of climate change, and state that the Ministry should report annually on BC’s long-term food security.

We know that higher food prices are coming. And we know that cli-mate change is affecting the areas that we cur-rently rely on to provide our food. We must put pressure on the provin-cial government to do something meaningful to address this issue.

As people come to-gether to celebrate the holiday season, influenza (the flu) can spread quickly so Interior Health is reminding the public that it is not too late to get your flu shot.

Influenza symptoms often include sudden high fever, headache, general body aches and pains, fatigue and weak-ness, a runny, stuffy nose, sneezing, and sore throat. In some cases, influenza can lead to more severe illness such as pneumo-nia and even death.

“The flu shot is the safest and most effective way to prevent influenza,” said Dr. Kamran Golmo-hammadi, Medical Health Officer with Inte-rior Health. “Getting a flu shot helps protect you from influenza and it also helps prevent you from spreading it to family, friends, and those who may be more vulnerable to serious complications from influenza.”

The flu shot is still available at pharmacies, physician offices and through local public health centres. To find a flu shot provider near you visit Immunize BC’s Flu

Clinic locator (http://im-munizebc.ca/clinics/flu#8/49.246/-123.116 ).

“I encourage every-one to get their flu shot as soon as possible, espe-cially those in high risk groups. Protection from influenza generally be-gins 10 to 14 days after immunization. Getting a flu shot now will protect you and your family over the holiday season and into the New Year”, adds Dr. Golmohammadi.

The flu shot is free for:· seniors over 65 years

of age· children six months

to 59 months of age· Aboriginal people· pregnant women· people with chronic

medical conditions such as heart disease, asthma, and diabetes

· people who live with or care for people in high-risk groups

· visitors to a health care facility

For a complete list of those at risk and eligible for a free flu shot visit the Interior Health website (https://www.interior-health.ca/YourHealth/Immunization/Season-alFluCampaign/Pages/default.aspx).

For the townSmanResidents are reminded that

allowing your dog to run at large in the City of Cranbrook is not allowed, under the City’s Animal Control Bylaw.

The Bylaw requires the owner of any dog to ensure that it does not run at large. “Run at Large” is defined in short as any dog located on property other than that of the owner

and not under immediate con-trol by means of a leash.

The Animal Control Officer may impound any animal found to be running at large and keep the animal impound-ed until all impound fees have been paid. If the dog is not al-ready licensed, a license must be purchased prior to its re-lease. The owner may also be subject to a fine of $100.00 for

allowing the dog to be at large, regardless if it is impounded or not.

A sterile, licensed dog would cost $25 rising to $150 per im-pound after 3 impounds; a non-sterile, licensed dog would cost $40 rising to $165 after 3 impounds. A sterile, unli-censed dog would cost $50 ris-ing to $175 per impound after 3 impounds; a sterile, unlicensed

dog would cost $65 rising to $190 per impound after 3 im-pounds.

Any complaints can be di-rected to the Bylaw Office at 250-489-9598.

PAGE 6 TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2015

Premier Christy Clark sat down with Tom Fletcher for a year-end interview at her Victoria office Dec. 9. Here are ex-cerpts. For the full version, see the Opinion tab at www.dailytownsman.com.

TF: At the UN climate conference in Paris, did you speak about natural gas as a transition fuel, and did you find sup-port for that idea?

PCC: Yes and yes. The new government in Otta-wa is a big supporter of our LNG plan, and part of the reason for that is that they also see it as a way forward for Cana-da to make a huge contribution to fighting global climate change.

There are 150 coal plants on the books in China today. The only way that those plants and the ones that come after will be stopped is if they have a transitional fuel to move to.

TF: B.C.’s 2020 greenhouse gas target, reduction of emissions by a third, is anoth-er target that isn’t going to be met. Why?

PCC: When the government brought in the carbon tax, it was based on the as-sumption that other jurisdictions around us were going to eventually catch up. And none of them have.

There comes a point where the carbon tax can only get so high before we start chasing all those jobs out of the province.

TF: Your advisory committee says the carbon tax needs to go higher starting in 2018 if it’s going to have an effect. Do you have any other choice?

PCC: Let’s figure out what the national goal is going to be, which we don’t know yet.

TF: On a related topic, transit spending. Your new minister Peter Fassbender has talked about a “new day” in Ottawa and he’s downplaying the idea of another referen-

dum for new funding sources. Is that off the table now?

PCC: It may be possible that the feder-al government wants to invest more in transit, and take up some of the slack from the local government level.

TF: On LNG, oil and natural gas prices continue to go down, and supply continues to go up around the world. Did you see any positive signs this year?

PCC: What I saw this year was devel-oping countries, especially China, making a firm commitment to reduce their emis-sions. The only way for them to do that is to move to a greater degree to natural gas, and the bulk of their industry is still locat-

ed on the east coast of their country, a long way from Russia and close to B.C.

TF: Are we going to see some policy ac-tion on high housing costs in 2016, and will there be some relief from the property transfer tax?

PCC: You’ll see in the February budget, but we are looking for ways to provide some relief for home buyers.

TF: We’re starting to see government advertising ramp up. We saw a lot of Jobs Plan advertising before the 2013 election, we saw the federal government do it with their Economic Action Plan, which was very expensive, and to most people’s eye self-serving or political in nature at tax-payers’ expense. Is that what we’re going to see in the next year and a half?

PCC: It won’t be political. I think some of that was, really, political. You will see more information-based advertising out there, talking to people about for exam-ple, the Registered Education Savings Plan.

TF: Not Jobs Plan 2.0?PCC: I don’t think that’s in the plan. I

wish I could say to you no, never, but I, you know….

Taylor rocc aNight in and night

out over the course of a four-year KIJHL career, Eric Buckley has taken a beating.

Whether in the cor-ners or in front of the net, the 5-foot-9 native of Penticton goes where many won’t and he con-tinues to pay the price to make the play.

In his 20-year-old season, that penchant is paying off as the pesky Kimberley Dynamiters winger is producing at a career rate with 44 points in 31 games, already sur-passing the career mark he set in 2014-15 (43 points in 47 games).

Friday in a 5-1 win over the Columbia Val-ley Rockies, Buckley was undoubtedly the best player on the ice, scoring twice and setting up two others to pace the Nitros.

Saturday, he played the role of overtime hero as the Dynamiters edged the Creston Val-ley Thunder Cats.

“Buck has been phe-nomenal all year long, in terms of the abuse that he takes,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Dynamiters, follow-ing Friday’s victory. “He

just keeps on taking it, keeps on ticking. He’s changed his game com-pletely from what he used to be — he used to be the player that would take undisciplined pen-alties and he’s turned that around totally.

“I’ve got a lot of re-spect for him.”

Friday night, it looked as though old Eric Buck-ley might make an ap-pearance, as referee Gra-ham Waugh sat the pint-sized forward down on back-to-back shifts for a pair of minor penalties in the first period.

“Sometimes he’s got my number, sometimes not,” Buckley said with a smile in regards to the attention he gets from officials.

After serving his time, new Eric Buckley was out in full force from there on.

The recent commit to the University of James-town started the scoring in the second period, cleaning up a rebound in front of the Rockies net.

With Quinn Sobus serving a tripping minor, Jared Marchi sent a point shot towards goaltender Connor McKay but the puck never made it

through a clutter of bod-ies. Captain Jason Rich-ter took a swipe before the rubber found Buck-ley and he deposited it for a 1-0 lead.

Moments later, Rock-ies defenceman Kobe Eagletail caught Nitros forward Korbyn Chabot with a high hit. The in-fraction was Eagletail’s second head-contact penalty of the night and this time around he was served with a five-min-ute major and a game misconduct, effectively ending his evening early.

With 1:25 remaining in the major penalty, Buckley picked the pock-et of a Rockies forward at centre ice, turning and

burning in two-on-one with Brendon Benson.

Buckley dished to the newcomer Benson who made no mistake in put-ting the puck past McKay for his first goal as a Dy-namiter, extending the home team’s lead to 2-0.

“It was all Buckley,” Benson said with a grin Friday. “He read the play perfectly on that rim, pick-pocketed that ‘D’ man and made a great move around their last ‘D’ man. I just happened to be in front of the net.

“It’s a good confi-dence booster. It’s al-ways good to have a goal in the new jersey.”

The goal went on to stand as the eventual

game-winning tally.The Rockies scraped

their way back to within one goal in the second period after Dynamiters defenceman George Bertoia was cuffed with a five-minute major and a game misconduct for checking from behind.

All it took was five seconds for the visitors to convert, as Luke Belle-rose redirected a point shot past a bewildered Mitch Traichevich who, along with the fans in the Kimberley Civic Centre, called for high sticking to negate the goal. The offi-cials were having none of it as the Rockies made it a 2-1 contest.

But that’s as close as

the visitors managed on this night as the Dyna-miters pulled away in the third period.

Benson added his second power-play marker of the night just past the midpoint of the third period to make it a commanding 4-1 lead for the hosts.

The 19-year-old na-tive of Lethbridge has shown great flashes in three games, tallying two goals and two as-sists, since joining the Dynamiters last week following a stint with the Kindersley Klippers of the Saskatchewan Ju-nior Hockey League.

“We’ve got a tight squad in here and every-body plays for each other,” Benson said. “That’s what you need out there, especially in

the long run when you’re looking at playoffs.”

Buckley’s fourth point of the night round-ed out the scoring, all but ensuring first-star honours for the Dyna-miters alternate captain.

“When you’re 20 years old, you’ve got that extra confidence out there,” Buckley said. “I’m just trying to make this season a memorable one because it’s my last.”

Traichevich earned his sixth win of the sea-son by stopping 19 of the 20 pucks sent his way.

The annual A&W Teddy Bear, Toque & Mitten Toss was another success at Western Financial Place Saturday night. Ice forward Matt Alfaro, posing with sponsors and supporters, scored the teddy tally 34 seconds into a 5-2 loss to the Swift Current Broncos.Taylor rocc a

With three games re-maining before the holi-day break, the Kootenay Ice hope to get on track.

“We’ve got to try to stay positive,” said Ice forward Matt Alfaro. “We’ve got three games until break here and we can’t waste those games.

We’ve got to keep going.”Saturday’s 5-2 loss to

the Swift Current Bron-cos went into the books as the ninth consecutive defeat for the Ice (6-25-2-0), who sit deep in the lonely shadows of the WHL cellar. The Medi-cine Hat Tigers (10-18-2-1) sit 21st in the 22-

team WHL with 23 points -- nine ahead of the Ice (14 points).

“We need some sec-ondary scoring and we need to drive to the net to get those [greasy] goals,” Alfaro said.

“[We need to] play smart and play a full 60 [minutes].”

Getting a win before the holiday break won’t be an easy task as the the Ice remain banged up, with five regular skaters

out due to injury.After getting River Be-

attie back from head is-sues, the team lost Vince Loschiavo (lower body, two to four weeks) and Roman Dymacek (lower body, two to four weeks).

“It affects a lot of things -- fatigue, roles -- but the one big one is chemistry,” said Ice head coach Luke Pierce. “There’s not been any [consistency]... It’s all new line combinations.

It’s tough.“But beyond that, the

individual work ethic from man to man needs to be better.”

Puck drop between the Ice and Rebels is set for 7 p.m. Tuesday night.

Rhymes with Orange By Hillary B. Price

Dear Annie: A group of us have been friends for more than 40 years. We graduated from high school together, but while the rest of us went to college, started careers and settled down with families, “Ray” was smoking pot, partying and working paycheck to paycheck in an entry-level job. He was so wrapped up in “doing his own thing” that it never occurred to him to have a relationship. Now we are nearing retirement age. The rest of us are able to take time to travel, pursue our interests and spend time with our families. Ray is still living hand to mouth. And every time we get together or see his Facebook page, he is griping about how hard his life is and how much he envies us. We’d like to point him toward services that might be able to help him a little bit and show him how to make a realistic budget. The services have to be free, though, because Ray won’t take “charity” from the rest of us, and if he has to pay for anything, he won’t be able to afford it. There’s no guarantee he’d take advantage of even a free referral, but we are tired of hearing him carrying on about the life that, after all, he chose for himself. Do you know of any free resources that could rescue someone who’s always been clueless about money? -- Ray’s Friends Dear Friends: It’s romantic to “live for the moment,” but that doesn’t mean you cannot also plan for your future. You undoubtedly know that, even with outside assistance, Ray might not change his ways. It would require an entirely new mindset, and that takes effort that he seems unwilling to make. You can look into Debtors Anonymous at debtorsanonymous.org, or get information on local credit counseling through the Federal Trade Commission at consumer.ftc.gov. (Search “choosing a credit counselor.”) Dear Annie: I am responding to the letter from “W.,” whose neighbor constantly complains about the noise from her townhouse, even though she’s not doing anything particularly noisy. The neighbors living in the condo below me used to phone and yell at me for practically any noise. They complained about the way I walked in my home even though I went barefoot most of the time to assuage them. They went to bed at 8:30 p.m. and expected me to shut down then, as well. They spoke to an attorney who told them I wasn’t breaking any noise ordinances, but they still called incessantly to complain and were sometimes verbally abusive. So I spoke to my own lawyer. He suggested that I ignore them, but I told him I was being harassed, bullied and verbally abused and that I was not going to put up with it. If they were that sensitive, then they should have not moved into a condo with neighbors living above them. The lawyer and I resolved it by presenting them with his business card and informing them that any future complaints were to be directed to him. If they complained directly to me, it would lead to a lawsuit for harassment. -- N.C. Dear N.C.: Threatening to sue someone is always an option in this country, although we think it should be a last resort. Too many people think it is the first step.

Your creativity bub-bles up when dealing with a child, love interest or a creative project. Tonight: Throw yourself into the moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Defer to others, and be direct in how you deal with them. When you are able to detach, you will be surprised by how you view the big picture. You could have too much energy for your own good. Try to be as productive as possible. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s ideas. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You understand a lot more than you might want others to know. Focus on what an associate or loved one is doing. Be direct in how you handle a money issue. You will need to rein in any im-pulsive desires you have right now. Tonight: Take a break from your routine. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be a lot more forceful

than you realize. You could push someone to his or her limit, or vice versa. Deal with anger before you say something you might regret. Usually you are quite dynamic, but not neces-sarily right now. Tonight: Wrap up some holiday errands. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might not be aware that you’re sitting on some anger. Be more in touch with your feel-ings, and try to address them sooner. The unexpected occurs around a personal or domestic matter. Don’t worry so much about a certain situation. To-night: Order in. Make it easy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Don’t hold back as much as you have been. Enjoy your immedi-ate circle of friends. A loved one might give you an earful once you start to chat. Maintain an unbiased perspective, and don’t take any comments personally. Tonight: Meet a friend and buy a new item or two. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tap into your financial knowl-edge. Your intuition will tell you what way to go if you are

questioning which direction to head in. A boss or someone you look up to seems to be in a bad mood. Maintain a positive out-look, even if he or she cannot. Tonight: Treat yourself now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your energy soars, especially after someone you care about compliments you. You might feel as if you are on top of what you must do. A surprising event or invitation could be quite fun to be involved with. You like un-predictability. Tonight: As you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Know that you need to say less and be a good listener. Use caution with your finances, as you easily could make an error. Someone you look up to will offer you so many options that you might not be sure which way to turn. Stay in touch with your feelings. Tonight: Not to be found.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN The purpose of this Pest Management Plan (PMP) No. 514-0007-16/21 is to reduce overall mosquito annoyance in Kimberley by limiting larval development using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to control. The PMP focuses on larval mosquito control initiatives which use public education, physical site modification, biological and biorational controls that reduce larval mosquito populations and conserve or enhance natural mosquito predators wherever possible, including the use of non-persistent, bacterial larvicides.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from 12 May 2016 to 11 May 2021. Larvicide products proposed for use include Vectobac 200G, which contains the natural-occurring soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, (PCP #18158) and VectoLex CG (PCP # 28008) made with the bacterium Bacillus sphaericus. Both of these products provide species-specific control of mosquito larvae and are non-toxic to other organisms including fish, birds, wildlife, man and domestic animals. This Pest Management Plan replaces the previously approved 5 year PMP which expires 12 May 2016.

Mosquito larvae require stagnant or non-flowing waters, temporary or permanent, to develop. When physical alterations (draining, filling) are neither practical or desireable, developing larvae will be treated using VectoBac or VectoLex larvicides. Total area for larvicide treatment is not to exceed 225 hectares of public lands in each year of the PMP. Applications of Vectobac 200G and VectoLex CG will be made using aerial (helicopter) and ground-based, hand-broadcast or back pack applicator methods. All applications will be conducted within, and immediately adjacent to, the City of Kimberley.

This Pest Management Plan is being prepared for the City of Kimberley by D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd., an environmental services firm, with extensive experience in pest management plan development and local mosquito control operations. Information on proposed treatment areas, annual mosquito control program operations and this PMP are available to the public by request through D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd. 20619 – 91A Avenue, Langley, BC, V1M 2X2, (604) 881-4565, Facsimile (866) 759-5902, or email, dgra@telus.net.

A person wishing to contribute information regarding a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of this Pest Management Plan, may send copies of the information to D.G. Regan and Associates Ltd. (agents for the City of Kimberley) at the contact addresses above within 30 days of the publication of this notice. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in response to this notice and application will become part of the public record.

F rank Sinatra was the Chairman of the Board, Ol’

Blue Eyes and The Voice. But “Slacksy O’Brien?”

That was an early nickname for Sinatra in the Hoboken neigh-bourhood in the U.S. state of New Jersey where he grew up be-cause, as a youngster, he wore nice clothes.

Some young-at-heart residents of Hoboken might be rais-ing a glass to the award-winning singer and actor on Saturday on what would have been his 100th birth-day.

A look back at a cen-tury of Sinatra:

From Here To Eternity

Francis Albert Sina-tra was born on Dec. 12, 1915, in the Hudson River waterfront city that was home to Ger-man, Irish and Italian immigrants.

His father, Anthony, was a boxer who fought in Irish gyms as “Marty O’Brien” before be-coming a firefighter and tavern owner. His

mother, known as “Dolly,” was connected to the local political machine.

Even though the family initially lived in a cold-water apartment at 415 Monroe St., they eventually had such luxuries as a radio, tele-phone and car while his mother made sure her son had nice clothes, Hoboken Historical Museum director Rob-ert Foster said.

Start Spreading The News

The high school dropout delivered the Jersey Observer news-paper and worked at a shipyard.

The car - and a driv-er’s license in which his name was misspelled SINTRA - helped gain him a spot in 1935 with the singing group the Hoboken Four. They won first prize on a na-tional radio program for amateur entertain-ers.

He became a singing waiter at The Rustic Cabin in Englewood Cliffs, where he met songwriter Cole Porter, and forgot the words to Porter’s hit, “Night And Day,” the 100 Sinatra

ty to “do some good for his country under the direction of the FBI.” He was “willing to do any-thing even if it affects his livelihood and costs him his job,” the memo said. The FBI turned down the offer.

big bands and stardom.

Strangers In The Night

Sinatra offered his

assistance to the FBI in 1950, according to a confidential memoran-dum obtained in 1998 by The Associated Press. It showed Sinatra felt there was an opportuni-

persona is associated with Las Vegas, but he gets credit for filling At-lantic City’s casino showrooms with top tal-ent after he appeared in 1979 at the city’s first ca-sino, Resorts Interna-tional.

Following a show at Atlantic City’s Golden Nugget in 1983, Sinatra and Dean Martin de-manded a blackjack dealer break the rules, costing the casino a $25,000 fine.

A commissioner called Sinatra “an ob-noxious bully” with a “bloated ego.”

Sinatra scrapped an engagement and his lawyer issued a state-ment saying, “He will not perform in a state where appointed offi-cials feel the compul-sion to use him as a punching bag.”

His last engagement in Atlantic City was at the Sands in 1994.

Drink Up, All You People

People left flowers near the plaque where Sinatra’s first home once stood when he died in 1998 at age 82 and the city held a memorial Mass at St. Francis Roman Catholic Church, where Sinatra was baptized. Whatever real or imagined slights felt by some residents were forgotten.

Sinatra was inducted in the first class of New Jersey’s Hall of Fame in 2008. A park and the city’s main post office bear his name.

The Postal Service in 2008 issued a 42-cent stamp with his image, taking the rare step of holding three ceremo-nies in Hoboken, New York and Las Vegas.

But for a saloon sing-er who usually had a drink on stage, Sinatra’s ultimate honour came from Jack Daniel’s, which introduced Sina-tra Select whiskey in 2003.

To honour the 100th anniversary of Sinatra’s birth, Jack Daniel’s pro-duced 100 barrels of 100-proof Sinatra Cen-tury, which retails for $499.99 and includes an unreleased Sinatra re-cording.

aSSociated PreSSCAPE CANAVERAL,

Fla. - Need more office space? How about outer space?

NASA opened its as-tronaut-application website Monday. It’s ac-cepting applications through Feb. 18.

Contenders need to be U.S. citizens with a bachelor’s degree in sci-ence, math or engineer-

ing. Expect intense competition: More than 6,000 applied for NASA’s last astronaut class in 2013, with only eight picked. It’s an elite club, numbering only in the 300s since the begin-ning.

Future astronauts will have four spacecraft at their disposal: the In-ternational Space Sta-tion, two commercial

crew capsules to get there, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft for eventual Mars trips. Pay is be-tween $66,000 and $145,000 a year, and you’ll have to move to Houston.

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, a for-mer astronaut, says this next group will help “blaze the trail” to Mars.

Peake, the first Briton to represent the European Space Agency aboard the International Space Station, will be away from the planet for six months but looks forward to Earthly pleasures like seeing the new Star Wars movie and having a Christmas pudding.

Peake is to blast off Tuesday from the Russian manned space facility in

Baikonur, Kazakhstan, along with Timothy Kopra of the United States and Russian Yuri Malenchenko.

At a crew news conference on Monday, Peake said he expects ground staff will be able to download “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” for the crew to watch.

Peake says he’s also looking for-ward to microgravity experiments in-spired by Isaac Newton.
