Townsman sTaffThe Ktunaxa Nation
is hopeful that a report released last week, June 2, can set out a new path of understanding, coop-eration and healing be-tween aboriginal and non-aboriginal Canadi-ans.
In its summary re-port, the Truth and Rec-onciliation Commission of Canada — chaired by Justice Murray Sinclair — outlined 94 recom-mendations ranging from mandatory educa-tion in public schools on residential schools to enacting federal legisla-tion to revitalize and preserve aboriginal lan-guages.
The country’s church-run, govern-
ment-funded system of residential schools, which operated for more than 120 years, was officially branded a “cultural genocide” in the report summary re-leased last week.
“The Ktunaxa Nation is supportive of the work of the Truth and Recon-ciliation Commission and all the recommen-dations in its report,” said Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair. “The impacts of the residential schools are still felt in every ab-original community in Canada every day. This dark legacy cannot be relegated to the pages of history books or ig-nored. All Canadians must make the effort to

The Grade Three class from Kootenay Orchards recent took a fabulous tour through the RDEK, courtesy of summer student employee Lukas Eaton, who came to our school and ran my class through the Recycling Olympics. Lukas, wearing a green crown and green cape saying “Recycling King,” then took the class on a tour of the Transfer Station, Recycling Center, Bottle Depot and Land Fill.
Ktunaxa, COTR call for moving forward on TRC reporthear the stories of those who survived the resi-dential schools. Only through understanding where this pain and an-guish comes from, can the reconciliation and healing journey begin.”
It is estimated that of the 150,000 students who attended the resi-dential schools, more than 6,000 children died during their time there. The last school, located outside of Regina, closed in 1996.
The residential school at St. Eugene Mission near Cranbrook operated from 1912 to
1970. Several years ago the ?aq’qm (St. Mary’s) Band transformed it into a luxury hotel, the centrepiece of the St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino.
“The Ktunaxa Nation has charted its own healing path and this is reflected in the work we do with our partners in-cluding schools, col-leges, corporations and governments,” contin-ued Teneese. “The rec-ommendations made today by the Commis-sion can support us on this path, but we need engagement from lead-
ership at all levels of government across Can-ada and more impor-tantly all Canadians, to ensure that these rec-ommendations do not fall by the wayside. Rec-onciliation is not to for-give and forget but to remember so we do not repeat the mistakes of the past.”
The report, its ramifi-cations and recommen-dations, are on the minds of a lot of Canadi-ans.
David Walls, Presi-dent and CEO of College of the Rockies issued the following statement on
the final report of the Truth and Reconcilia-tion Commission (TRC) of Canada, saying Col-lege of the Rockies sup-ports the work and rec-ommendations of the Truth and Reconcilia-tion Commission.
“As the TRC report noted, education is a powerful way in which we will walk toward truth and reconcilia-tion,” Walls said. “We acknowledge the pain-ful legacy of residential schools, and agree that all Canadians must hear the stories of those who survived these schools.
College of the Rockies is committed to working with all partners in gov-ernment, schools, cor-porations and commu-nity to build under-standing regarding the legacy of residential schools.
“College of the Rock-ies is very proud of our 40 year history of work-ing with Ktunaxa, Shuswap, and Metis people, and they remain valued colleagues, rela-tives and friends. We will continue to commit our hearts and minds to the reconciliation pro-cess.”
Blackmore is one of the heads of Bountiful, B.C. and allegedly has 24 wives.
Arvay says the prov-ince should heed the decision of a previous special prosecutor who recommended not lay-ing charges because of constitutional uncer-tainty around polygamy laws.
Although the legal
grey area was resolved with a 2011 reference question, Arvay says Blackmore should not have to face charges for historical acts of polyga-my.
He says the residents of Bountiful should be entitled to fair notice and that prosecution should only happen if people continue to flout the law.
Lawyer says Blackmore wasn’t given fair warning
ConTinued from page 1
for The TownsmanAn assault on Satur-
day afternoon, June 6, led to the arrest of sever-al persons and the recov-ery of a stolen vehicle.
According to an RCMP press release, at 3:38 pm police were called to an assault on Ross Street in Kimberley — those involved had left prior to police atten-dance.
Less than 30 minutes later an officer saw the vehicle on Warren Ave-nue — he turned around and activated his emer-gency equipment. The vehicle turned off and appeared to be evading police as it made several turns until it reached a dead end.
Once the officer had
the subjects in custody, he learned the driver was prohibited from driving and the vehicle was stolen out of Beau-mont Alberta. In the trunk police found sev-eral weapons including six knives, a machete, and two baseball bats
One female is still in custody and was to ap-pear on Cranbrook court tMonday on charges of Possession of Stolen Property and Assault. Two other males were released on a Recogni-zance with $500 bail for court in July. All three subjects have no fixed address but are believed to have been from Al-berta and have connec-tions to Cranbrook and area.
Assault call leads to much more
submiT TedRegular summer activities
including yard and garden maintenance are in full swing and the possibility is there that you and your neighbours won’t be the only ones stopping by to admire all your hard work.
The City of Cranbrook’s urban deer population – both mule and white tail deer – will be active in many areas of the community looking to make a meal out of many plants and shrubs. In spring and summer months, mule deer eat a variety
of herbaceous plants and grasses during the summer, even though they are primarily browsers of shrubs.
Talk with your landscape professional or visit your favou-rite local nursery to find out more about deer-resistant plants that thrive locally. There are also a few techniques that can be used to protect your property from deer damage.
“Fencing is really your only guaranteed way of preventing deer damage in your yard,” says Chris Zettel, Corporate Com-
munications Officer for the City of Cranbrook. “But, using a combination of hazing, repel-lents, choosing deer resistant plants along with fencing can also be quite effective.”
In the City’s Zoning Bylaw under Fencing, in all residen-tial zones, the maximum height for a fence in the front yard is 1 metre and all other yards, 1.8 metres. The Ministry of Envi-ronment website www.env.gov.b c. ca / c o s / i n f o / w i l d l i f e _human_interaction/docs/un-gulates.html also has much in-
formation on how to reduce deer conflicts in your yard.
If you have issues around urban deer aggression, you are encouraged to contact the RAPP line first, but are also asked to report the issue to the City of Cranbrook for its re-cords by calling 250-426-4211 or emailing [email protected]. City staff may not be able to respond directly to all emails or phone messages around urban deer issues, however staff will be sure to re-cord those complaints.

vasives ‘extravaganza’Learn to identify terrestrial
and aquatic invasive species, and their impacts on native species. Activities include, a weed walk, shoreline tour and games and activities for kids of all ages.
Aquatic Invasive Species training for volunteer ambassa-dors, citizens, and stewardship groups interested in learning more aquatic invasive species, their impacts, identification and monitoring techniques.
Join Cathy Conroy, biologist and EKIPC terrestrial outreach coordinator and Taylor White, Native Plant Ecologist from Tipi Mountain Native Plants Learn to identify common native plant species, and learn about the impacts that invasive spe-cies have on your garden, back yard, and on native species.
Not able to attend any events – but want to do some-thing?
Here are a few things that you can do to help prevent the spread of invasive alien plant and animal species, and reduce their impacts.
Learn to Recognize and Identify Invasive Plants & Aquatic Invasive Species: Awareness is the first step to combat the problem. http://bcinvasivesmonth.com/inva-sive-plants/
Prevent New Areas from Be-coming Infested: Remove Inva-sive Plants and their seeds from vehicles, clothing, livestock and pets prior to leaving an infested area.
Know what you grow: Don’t cultivate Invasive Plants in your garden, grow native species in-stead. Go to: bcinvasives.ca and download or request a Grow Me Instead brochure.
Be a Good Steward to Your Land: Graze livestock responsi-bly, seed soil disturbances, control existing infestations
and prevent new ones from starting.
Clean, Dry and Inspect: Boat hulls, props, bilge tanks, fishing tackle, waders and foot-wear regularly for Aquatic Inva-sive Species. (more info)
Become an Educated Con-sumer: Purchase weed-free for-age and certified ‘clean’ seed only, do not buy exotic horti-cultural plant varieties.
Dispose of Invasive Plants Responsibly: Collect in heavy plastic bags and dispose in the household waste bins at the nearest landfill or transfer sta-tion. Do not compost, burn in open piles or transport unse-cured.
Teach others: Educate your family, friends and neighbours about Invasive Plants & Aquatic Invasive Species. ISCBC has developed resources for teach-ers, youth leaders, and parents here: http://bcinvasivesmonth.com/resources-info/
Be a Spotter: Record and re-port Invasive Plants and Aquat-ic Invasive Species. This infor-mation is critical in helping to control these species across the region. ( reportaweed.bc.ca or contact EKIPC)
Organize a weed pull: Get the community to pull together for a common goal.
Become a Member of EKIPC: Join the council, volun-teer, attend events and get in-volved! Ekipc.com

J ust before he sat down to a traditional Bavarian meal of sausages and beer with German Chancellor Angela
Merkel at the start of the G7 summit on Sunday, US President Barack Obama told the media that one of the meeting’s priori-ties would be discussing ways of “standing up to Russian aggression in Ukraine.” Which begs the question: what kind of ag-gression are we talking about here?
There are unquestionably Russian troops in the rebel provinc-es of eastern Ukraine, and that is certainly an act of aggression under interna-tional law. (The Russian troops there are definitely not just volunteers lending the rebels a hand while they are on leave, as Moscow maintains. How can we be sure? Because soldiers on leave do not take their tanks and artillery with them.)
But is this a prelude to a Russian inva-sion that would take over all of Ukraine, as Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko re-cently alleged? If it is, it would require a whole different level of response, and the result could easily be a new Cold War.
Is it also the first step in a Russian cam-paign to take back everything that used to be part of the Soviet Union, and before that of the Russian empire, as many in Es-tonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia and other former “Soviet Republics” fear? If so, “standing up to Russian aggression” would be an even bigger task, involving a major NATO troop build-up in Europe and probably a new nuclear arms race.
Might Russian President Vladimir Putin actually be the next would-be world conqueror, out of the same mould as Na-poleon and Hitler? In that case, get ready for the Third World War, because it’s un-likely that anything less would stop him. So exactly what kind of aggressor Putin is
matters quite a lot.Here’s a clue: Putin was first elected
president of Russia in 1999, and for his first fifteen years in power he didn’t attack anybody. (He responded very toughly to the cretinous Georgian attack on Russian peacekeeping troops in South Ossetia in 2008, but he didn’t start that war.) On the whole, would-be world conquerors don’t wait fifteen years before making their first move. They get started as soon as possi-
ble, because it’s a big job.After three months of
non-violent demonstra-tions against Ukraine’s pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, in the winter of 2013-14, and after a day of shooting on Independence Square
(the Maidan) in Kiev that killed at least fifty protesters and three policemen, Putin agreed to a deal on 21 February that promised new elections in Ukraine within a month.
It was always puzzling why the demon-strators went out onto the square and spent three bitterly cold months there demanding that Yanukovych quit right away, given that elections were due in Ukraine within a year. Why not stay warm at home and vote him out next year? He couldn’t do anything irrevocable in the meantime.
Never mind that. The representatives of the protesters definitely did agree to the deal hammered out by Russian and EU negotiators on the evening of 21 February 2014. Yanukovych was to resign and there would be new elections IN ONE MONTH. Yet only hours later the demonstrators attacked the presidential administration buildings and Yanukovych had to flee. Why couldn’t they wait even one month?
Maybe because they were afraid that they would lose the election. Kiev is in
western Ukraine, where most people are strongly pro-Western and would like to join the European Union, even NATO if possible. It certainly looked to people watching it on television as if all Ukraini-ans wanted Yanukovych out.
But Yanukovuch had won the 2010 election fair and square with a 52 percent majority, thanks to the votes of eastern Ukrainians. Their ancestors had lived in the Russian empire for more than three centuries, unlike those of western Ukrai-nians. Most eastern Ukrainians speak Russian, share the Orthodox religion of Russians, are actually pro-Russian in gen-eral.
What’s more, eastern Ukraine is the home of almost all of the country’s heavy industry, and it was Russia that bought most of the coal, steel and industrial goods produced by eastern Ukrainians. It was their votes that elected Yanukovych in 2010, and there was no reason to be-lieve that they would vote differently in 2014. There really was a coup in Kiev in 2014, and Putin was quite right to feel deceived and betrayed.
He was wrong to respond as he did, taking back the province of Crimea (which had an overwhelmingly Russian popula-tion but had been bundled into Ukraine in a Communist-era decision in 1954). He was very wrong to back the rebellion in the eastern Ukrainian provinces of Do-netsk and Lugansk. If he actually encour-aged them to rebel (which is not clear) he is even more in the wrong. It is all being done in defiance of international law.
But he is not setting out down the path of world conquest. He is not even plan-ning to take over Ukraine. “Standing up to Putin” is an invigorating moral exercise, but it is not strictly speaking necessary.

LAUSANNE, Switzer-land - The IOC ap-proved new events Monday in snowboard-ing, Alpine skiing, speedskating and curl-ing for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongc-hang, South Korea.
Big Air in snow-boarding, mass start in speedskating, mixed doubles in curling, and a team skiing event were the additions ratified Monday by the Interna-tional Olympic Com-mittee executive board.
The snowboard par-allel slalom event, mean-while, was dropped from the Olympic program to
make room for Big Air.Under IOC rules,
events and disciplines can be added or re-moved up until three years before the games. The new events are for men and women.
The IOC has been determined to attract younger audiences.
“The changes reflect the continued evolution of the Winter Olympic program and build on the success of recent editions of the games,” the IOC said in a state-ment. “They also build on the reforms outlined in Olympic Agenda 2020 which aim to create more flexibility into the Olympic program of the Olympic Games.”
The IOC recom-mends the participation of about 2,900 athletes competing in 100 events for the Winter Games.
The IOC said deci-sions on which new events to accept for 2018 were based on a number of factors, including youth appeal, TV and
media interest, gender equality and “infrastruc-ture and operational cost and complexity.”
In Big Air events, boarders fly off a highly pitched ramp similar to those on the slopestyle course, and perform jumps with flips and spins. They do as many
jumps as possible in an allotted amount of time.
Ma ss star t speedskating races add team tactics and a di-rect confrontation of skating styles in a long-distance event. It could also bring the push and shove ele-ments of short track to
the Olympic big oval.Curling has had sep-
arate men’s and wom-en’s competitions since returning in 1998.
While traditional curling involves teams of four, mixed doubles would include teams of two - one male and one female. Teams would
have six stones each, in-stead of eight.
The new Alpine ski-ing event involves teams of two men and two women competing in parallel slalom races. The event has been part of the world champion-ships and the World Cup finals.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Try not to lose control in a dis-cussion where someone consid-ers him- or herself to be above the majority of people. Follow your intuition, and test out any solutions in your head before you verbalize them. Curb state-ments that could cause a prob-lem. Tonight: Play it low-key. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Remain focused on your objec-tives, and don’t allow any uproar to distract you. Addressing one item at a time will be the best way to proceed. You might have to switch gears when you least expect to, and it could add to the present confusion. Tonight: Where your friends are. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Tension is likely to build as an authority figure starts causing a problem and creating additional pressure. You might be past the point of worrying about this person’s wishes, but that could cause you a major problem where you least want it. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to maintain a lower profile than usual. Anger might rise to the surface, but be smart and don’t reveal anything that you’d rather not discuss. Fi-nancial gain is possible if you can keep your eye on the big picture. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It doesn’t take a genius to see how stressed out many of your friends and loved ones are. Lis-ten carefully, and try to reconcile all the different opinions. One-on-one relating will result in a different reaction from what you might have anticipated. Tonight: Work through a problem. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When you try to initiate a con-versation with a parent or high-er-up, you could discover that there is a problem. You might feel as if this person is using you as his or her punching bag. Use your instincts, and you won’t make a bad decision. Tonight: Vanish while you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your focus and determination continue to be your strong suits.
Others might want to play devil’s advocate and go into deep re-flection, but you will get the job done. Tension is likely to emerge because of what you must do. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) An interesting conversation with a loved one or someone you are financially involved with is likely to spur your imagina-tion. A discussion with an expert or an older friend will point you toward a positive path. Follow through, and don’t question yourself. Tonight: Be a duo. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be juggling more than you want to handle. You’ll see an important relationship or a mat-ter involving your home experi-ence some ups and downs. You might find it hard to be present, especially as others seem to be demanding! Tonight: Go for what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep communication moving. You might feel as if you have too much information. You will want to change your approach with
several people, especially if they are loose cannons. Listen to an associate who is argumentative, but wait to comment. Tonight: Relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to revise your thinking about a risk for now. Your creativity easily translates into ingenuity when dealing with a touchy associate or loved one. Don’t get your funds in-volved in any of your dealings, except when paying for lunch! Tonight: Pay bills. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to come to a better understanding of what is happening with a loved one. You could be overwhelmed by this person’s attitude, which is likely to be cantankerous and difficult. Go off and do something just for you. Tonight: Let the games be-gin!

ANNIE’S MAILBOXby Kathy Mitchell and
Marcy Sugar
Dear Annie: Graduation is coming up, and I don’t know what to do. You see, most of the seniors aren’t qualified to graduate at all. Some of them have been truant for half of the years they were here. At least 15 seniors were absent from class for their entire senior year, and at least 20 percent lack grade-level reading and writing skills. For some, college will be impossible. Every year, we have “alumni” who return to school because they either graduated without necessary credentials or flunked out of college and need academic help. I never give passing grades to kids who don’t show up to class, but if they perform some token service, the school graduates them anyway. Should I go to this year’s graduation ceremony? I haven’t gone in two years, and when asked, I say why. Sometimes I worry that I appear unkind, because this is a low-income, troubled neighborhood and high school graduation means a lot to these families. I just don’t like what I see as a deception because either the parents haven’t made sure the kids go to school, or the school lies to the kids and tells them everything is fine. What do you suggest? -- Teacher Dear Teacher: There is only so much you can do, and you are already doing it. We understand that you don’t feel it is fair for kids to graduate when they haven’t done the work, shown up for class or achieved the required standards. You are already giving these kids flunking grades. But unless the other teachers and the school administration are willing to hold them back, they will graduate anyway. And your school is not the only one that operates in this fashion. While it serves no purpose for parents or kids to believe graduation will happen whether or not it’s deserved, for some, the humiliation of not graduating doesn’t spur them to achieve more. It makes them give up. Ask yourself what you hope to accomplish as an educator, and then seek the best way to achieve it. Dear Annie: I have a friend who, after lots of medical assistance, was finally able to get pregnant and have a little girl 18 months ago. Now, with further assistance, she is pregnant with twins. It’s exciting but expensive to give a baby shower. What is the proper etiquette? I really like her, and she was the matron of honor at my wedding three years ago. We worked together then and now have lunch once every month or so, but we are no longer super-close. -- Second Baby Shower? Dear Second: Are you asking whether you should host twice or attend twice? You are not obligated to do either, but it is especially onerous to host a second baby shower, so you are off the hook for that. Many women opt not to have second baby showers, because they already were provided with plenty of nice things that can be handed down to a second child. With twins, however, the need is greater, so a second shower is understandable. But it should not overburden people who gave generously the first time. Guests should include only close family, very close friends and those who were not invited to the first baby shower. If you choose to attend a second shower, you might consider a token gift rather than a pricey item.

Key players in the coal mining in-dustry from Colombia, Peru and the Elk Valley made their way to the Elk-ford Community Conference Centre on Wednesday, June 5 to discuss min-ing relations and mining practices.
Industry representatives, including a representative from Peru’s Ministry of Energy and Mines and representa-tives from the Federation of Colombi-an Municipalities, were eager to learn about the Elk Valley’s mining industry, focusing mainly on their positive community relations.
Delegates from the foreign mining sectors were in admiration of the pos-itive government relationships with the mining industry. Participants were also keen to discuss the tax revenue agreements that allow mining to con-tinue in local communities like the Elk Valley.
“We understand the role coal min-ing plays in the economic develop-ment but also in the livelihoods of people here,” Program Director of In-clusive Communities in Latin Ameri-ca (CISAL) Christopher Yeomans said. “We were coming here to discuss how local communities have come togeth-er to negotiate better agreements, bet-ter tax revenue agreements with Teck and other companies here.”
Similar to the mining sector in B.C., mining in Colombia and Peru receives a lot of backlash due to con-cerns over environmental and social impacts.
In the Elk Valley, the mining indus-try directly surrounds communities like Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford.
In Colombia and Peru, however, mining often takes place in rural areas outside of the communities.
Due to an economic imbalance (poverty stricken communities versus the prosperous mining industry), mining is generally unaccepted and local authorities find it difficult to ne-gotiate and work with communities, Yeomans said.
“To establish a mine, often you
have to remove people from one area and put them somewhere else. That sometimes creates conflict and fric-tion,” said Yeomans. “Here you can tell that in the Elk Valley, there’s a general acceptance that mining is the re-source, the economic generator in the region. There’s actually quite a good relationship between the local gov-ernments and the people and mining company. That was quite eye opening for our partners.”
The goal of the conference was to educate global mining representatives on the mutual benefits of mining in B.C.
“We are looking to learn how to avoid problems,” Executive President of Sierra Exportadora Alfonso Velas-quez Tuesta said, noting that for him, learning how to properly handle their working relationship with the com-munity is key to a prosperous foreign mining industry.
Canada’s mining taxation was an-other area of interest for the global partners.
The implementation of the B.C. Mining Tax Act ensures that mining taxes are imposed by mines in two stages — a two per cent tax on net current proceeds and a 13 per cent tax on net revenue.
These types of regulations, howev-er, do not exist in Peru and Colombia.
District of Elkford Mayor Dean McKerracher highlighted the need for these taxes.
“We work very well with the min-ing industry,” McKerracher said of the municipal governments relationship with Teck. “They’ve been a great sup-porter of our community. They’ve helped us build our communities and strengthen our communities, and with the taxation from the mining, it just makes it that much easier for us to operate our municipalities.”
He went on to say, “It’s been a great working relationship so far.”
McKerracher noted the impor-tance of their global partners develop-ing and understanding how mining works in the Elk Valley.
