C A N A D I A N P R E S SCOLD LAKE, Alta. -

Police say wildfire con-ditions at the scene of the crash of a firefight-ing plane in northern Alberta are making it difficult for investiga-tors to reach the site.

The small aircraft used for fire suppres-sion crashed Friday

while battling a wildfire near Cold Lake, killing the 38-year-old pilot and only person on-board. He was from Cranbrook, according to reports from Global News, and had been fighting wild fires for four years.

As of presstime, the identity of the pilot had

not been released.Mounties say the

site is inside the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range, an area used by military pilots for weapons training.

RCMP Cpl. Mike Dunsmore said the mil-itary and search and rescue personnel es-corted police into the

crash site late Friday and helped recover the body of the pilot.

But on Saturday, Dunsmore said the fire, which the province re-ported Saturday has grown to 40 square ki-lometres since it start-ed a day earlier, is mak-ing it challenging for Transportation Safety

Board investigators to safely enter the area.

Jon Lee, the regional manager for the TSB, said investigators were headed to the site in a helicopter on Saturday afternoon with a pro-vincial wildfire official to see if it would be safe to land.

“If it is, they’ll set

down. If not, they’ll re-assess,” said Lee, noting the decision would be up to the pro-vincial official.

Crews in northern Alberta have been fighting wildfires for more than a week, and warm and dry condi-tions have increased the fire hazard to high

Pilot killed in Alberta crash was from CranbrookWildfire limits ability of investigators to reach scene of Friday plane crash

or extreme in some areas.

The pilot who was killed worked for Conair Aerial Firefight-ing, and he and the plane were contracted by the Alberta govern-ment.

“First responders like this pilot, and our many other dedicated wildland firefighters, put their lives on the line every day to ensure that our homes and families are safe,” in-coming premier Rachel Notley said in a state-ment that offered her condolences to the pi-lot’s family, friends and colleagues.

“We owe them our most sincere gratitude. Even as they mourn the loss of one of their own, I know they will contin-ue fighting the many fires burning within our borders.”

Jeff Barry of Conair Aerial Firefighting said the pilot was in his fourth firefighting sea-son with the company.

“We’ve sent our ac-cident investigation team and we’ll be co-operating with the Transportation Safety Board and the Alberta ESRD (Environment and Sustainable Re-source Development) folks will be there as well,” Barry said Friday.

Barry said the plane was a single-seater Air Tractor 802, known in the company as the “Fire Boss.” The com-pany’s website said the amphibious plane is used to scoop up water from lakes or deliver fire retardent.

Police said in a news release on Saturday that the crash scene has been secured.

Lee said the crash investigation was still in the early stages and he couldn’t speculate on the cause.

T R E V O R C R AW L E YWhen it comes to

farmer’s markets, local-ly grown produce or lo-cally made artisan goods usually come to mind.

However, there are ongoing conversations with local microbrew-eries and wineries in Creston to add some more adult beverages to the market selection.

Following changes to provincial liquor laws last year, selling alcohol at Farmers markets is now legal. That being said, there aren’t many local brew-eries or vintners who are ready to set up in Cranbrook and Kim-berley markets, accord-ing to Erna Jensen-Shill, who manages the Cranbrook Farmers’

Market.“I’ve talked with a

couple of the Creston vintners and they are interested in the mar-ket,” said Shill. “They have been participating in the Creston markets, so they are interested.

“We’ve been having conversations there, nothing solidified yet, but we’ve been talking.”

She has also talked with the Heidout Restaurant and Brew-house in regard to their in-house microbrew-ery—Fisher Peak Brew-ing Company.

Other Famer’s mar-kets, such as those in the B.C. Interior, have had success showcas-ing and selling local wine, beer and spirits.

FOR THE TOWNSMANTwo Cranbrook

youths have been taken into custody following the police investigation into a local business break and enter.

In the early morning hours of May 13, Cran-brook RCMP officers responded to an intru-

sion alarm at a local grocery store. Upon ar-rival police discovered the business had been broken into.

Over the following days police conducted an investigation and based on witness inter-views, forensic evi-dence found at the

scene and surveillance video analysis three suspects were positive-ly identified.

Two of the suspects have since been taken into custody and police continue to look for the third individual re-sponsible for this crime.

The two youths in custody are 15 and 16 years of age.

On Monday, May 18, police executed a search warrant on a Cranbrook residence and were able to locate and seize a number of the items that had been stolen from the busi-

ness.“This was a thor-

ough and timely inves-tigation that included our general duty offi-cers, the police dog and our forensic identifica-tion specialists which ultimately lead to iden-tifying those responsi-ble for this crime” said

S/Sgt. Dubnyk.“Police rely heavily

on information from the public and would like to remind people to call in anything sus-picious they see occur-ring in their neighbour-hoods or anywhere around town,” Dubnyk added.

For the townsmanOne of Canada’s top

rock bands will be mak-ing a stop in Cranbroook on July 29.

Theory of a Dead-man is a platinum sell-ing, Juno Award win-ning, Canadian hard rock band that became the first act to sign with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger’s 604 Re-cords in 2001.

Since that time the

group has amassed an impressive string of awards and smash hits. In 2003 they won a Juno for Best New Group in Canada, and in 2009 their third of five studio albums received the Western Canadian Music Award for Top Rock Recording of the year. That album con-tained the m ainstream rock radio smash “Bad Girlfriend” as well as “So

Happy” and “By the Way”.

Most recently their fourth album, 2011’s “The Truth Is,” landed in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Top Albums Chart upon its debut, while topping the “Top Hard Rock Al-bums”, “Top Alternative Albums”, and “Top Hard Rock Albums” charts.

In addition, it spawned the No. 1 radio hit “Lowlife”, which

ruled rock radio for weeks.

In 2014 the band re-leased the album “Sav-ages” on Roadrunner Records/604. “We wanted to give fans a great Theory of a Dead-man record», said lead singer Tyler Connolly. “We owed them this album. It’s completely real, unrestrained and unbridled. We want their acceptance above all. This record was for the fans, and we are all extremely proud of it.” The song “Panic Room” from the album served as the theme song for WWE’s October pay-per-view Hell in a Cell.

On April 28 of this year the band released a five-track acoustic EP ti-tled “Angel”, which has received rave reviews from critics. Since the band’s inception, Theo-ry of a Deadman has toured with many a fa-miliar name in the rock world including, Motley Crue, Alter Bridge, Stone Sour, Godsmack

Arne PetryshenBack in March when

Sinkhole Sunday caused havoc on many Cran-brook streets, the culprit was a spike in water pressure that took ad-vantage of weaknesses in the iron piping due to a process called electroly-sis.

The electrolysis is caused through electric-ity that is grounded in the pipes — and re-moves material through that process.

At the May 11 meet-

ing, Eric Sharpe, Director of Engineering for the City of Cranbrook, up-dated council on the question of whether something could be done to prevent further electrolysis in Cran-brook’s pipes.

Sharpe explained that cast iron and ductile iron has been the pipe of choice for many years throughout the 20th cen-tury.

“One of the ways the pipe was sold was it is very heavy, very strong…

that kind of thing,” Sharpe said. “You don’t have to worry about bed-ding it — using the prop-er bedding sand and that kind of thing — because it is so tough.”

Sharpe noted that since then, the degrada-tion from electrolysis has become apparent.

He said one of the things that is recom-mended in soils that are especially conducive to the electrolysis process is installing a sacrificial zone or magnesium

anode. “So the electrolysis is

done through the sacrifi-cial anode instead of tak-ing away from the pipe,” he said. “The question was could we do this to our existing pipe? The issue with that is you pretty much have to ex-pose the whole pipe, and if you’re going to expose the whole pipe, you’re tearing up the whole road. And once you’re at that point, you’re proba-bly better off replacing it as we would through our

capital replacement.”Coun. Ron Popoff

asked how many lines are currently not pro-tected from electrolysis.

Sharpe said to his knowledge there aren’t any sacrificial anodes buried with Cranbrook pipes. He said one of the problems was that the pipe installation was all developer driven, and so the city doesn’t have the data on it.

“The ones that we have been back to and exposed, we found that there have not been,” he said.

Popoff asked whether it would be a practice going forward. Sharpe said the pipes that go in are now generally PVC pipe. If they do use steel, it can be coated to resist electrolysis.

The Moss Street Market in Victoria has a tasting area to sample local products and a Vernon orchard—the BX Press—has become a tourist draw due to their assortment of ci-

ders. “The market’s just a

great venue for that, I can totally see people just grabbing a bottle of wine or something like that,” added Shill. “…I think that, as with any-

thing, vendors—they need to see the poten-tial before they can commit the time and the resources to actually get to the markets, but, for example, the vint-ners in Creston have

been doing well there at the farmers’ market, so it’s that next leap for them to come here.”

Across the province, there are currently 299 grape, fruit and other wineries along with 109

breweries and 46 distill-eries. Roughly 90 manu-facturers have applied to sell their liquor prod-ucts at a B.C. farmer’s market.

There are roughly 20,000 family farms in B.C. and the number of farmers’ markets across the province has dou-bled over the last 10

years. “We are going into

our second year of li-quor sales at B.C. farm-ers’ markets and our members are anticipat-ing another busy sea-son,” said Jon Bell, the president of the B.C. As-sociation of Farmers’ Markets. “The farm-to-glass concept is taking

hold and has provided market customers with even more reasons to visit their market - from the unique opportunity to learn about local food and liquor pairings; to additional vendors that are helping to attract customers even before the market season is in full swing.”

RCMPThree persons were

arrested after police found a subject suffer-ing from significant fa-cial injuries.

Over the May long weekend a Cranbrook police officer on patrol on King Street noted a

subject sitting on the road side who appeared to have been assaulted. Upon speaking with the individual, the officer learned the subject had just been assaulted by three other males who were still in a nearby apartment complex.

Two of the suspects exited the building and were immediately taken into custody by police. The third suspect was located with the assis-tance of the Cranbrook Police Dog Team. He was found on the third floor of the apartment complex.

The victim, a 25 year old Kamloops man, was taken to hospital and then released following a medical examination.

All three suspects are from Cranbrook and are 29, 30 and 32 years of age. All were taken into police custody and later released on Promise to Appears for future court dates.

complainant. The next book challenge

came in 1986, this one regard-ing ‘Your Child’s Mind’ by Her-man and Anne Roiphe. The charge against this title was that it cautioned against inte-grating intellectually disabled children into public schools.

The Board con-sulted child de-velopment pro-fessionals from the College of the Rockies (then called East Kootenay Com-munity College),

who found the book to be pro-fessionally sound, if a little dated. They recommended the Library retain the title, but also to add additional titles which are in favour of public school integration. The Library then worked closely with the com-plainant, to purchase books which represented the most current thought on the subject.

This is just some of the on-going saga the Cranbrook Pub-lic Library experienced as it entered the late 1970s and 80s.

1978 was the busiest year in the Library’s long history, re-quiring it to open on Sundays.

For a full week in April, all fines for overdue books were forgiv-en, with — thanks to McDon-alds — a free Big Mac for every late or lost book returned.

Music on cassette tape was also introduced, as were large print and foreign language books. Books on tape were available, as well as two cas-sette recorders. Puppet kits had arrived, as well as a summer reading program. To end the 70s the Library was seriously considering solar panels (a en-vironmental solution very much en vogue at the time).

The 1980s saw the Library add a Califone Listening Cen-tre, a 16mm projector, an in-house videocassette recorder (those massive 3/4 inch ones), an overhead projector, and a typing room. Photocopying was available, which was fed by rolls of paper instead of sheets.

1982 saw the “Fact Finder” program introduced on CKEK radio. Here listeners could call the radio station with a ques-tion, and staff from both the Cranbrook Public Library and the College Library had a week to find the answer. This pro-gram was a popular success in those pre-internet/pre-Google

times. One thing the Library was

not, however, was pre-comput-er. The Chief Librarian at the time, Patricia Adams, was an early adopter of computer technology. As early as 1982 she was streamlining the Li-brary’s collection into ACS (au-tomated circulation system). This was no easy thing, as com-puters cost a small fortune back then, and it would take countless hours of full time staff and two dozen volunteers to input the data.

But the massive benefit to the Library patrons was unde-niable. By being so early in the game, the Library was toured by librarians from all over BC to see just how the jump from card catalogs to computers could be done.

In 1988 the Library was rec-ognized as “the most progres-sive and leading library in the East and West Kootenay.”

Just ahead lay the 90s, the toughest decade the Library ever had to face in its long his-tory.

OpiniOn/EvEnts

On January 23, 1980, the Board of the Cranbrook Public Library had a decision to make. A patron had filed a “request for reconsideration” complaint against a book found in the li-brary holdings. While books are frequently challenged for a variety of reasons, this one was different.

The book in question was ‘Let’s Get Well’ by Adelle Davis. First published in 1965, Davis — a trained nutri-tionist — wrote numerous bestselling health books in the 60s and 70s, and was a popular fixture on television talk shows. But her advice was dangerous. After her documented refer-ences in ‘Let’s Get Well’ were discovered to be mostly bogus (some bizarrely linking to avia-tion articles), a presidential commission found her to be “the most damaging source of false nutrition information in the nation.” Her book ‘Lets Have Healthy Children’ was responsible for a series of in-fants developing brain tu-mours, impaired growth, and even one death.

Finding ‘Let’s Get Well’ to be “dangerous and nutritional-ly unsound” the Board agreed to have the title removed from the Library shelves.

Which was not the case with another book challenge, this time the year before. Mel Frank’s ‘Marijuana Grower’s Guide’ was challenged by a pa-tron who did not feel it to be appropriate material. The Li-brary, who is not only legally but ethically bound to “guar-antee and facilitate access to all expressions of knowledge and intellectual activity, in-cluding those which some ele-ments of society may consider to be unconventional, unpop-ular or unacceptable,” voted to keep the book on the shelves. Unhappy with the Board’s de-cision, the patron reported the Library to the RCMP, who also ended up disappointing the

Challenging books, and other milestones

Letters to the editorFrivolous spendingSix months ago we had a city election

where the candidates put forth their posi-tions. Many listed deplorable roads and the need to address our broken infrastructure. A number were concerned with wildlife roaming city streets. Wesly Graham want-ed to look at the possibility of an overpass (Townsman, Aug. 29, 2014). Lee Pratt said, “I’ve seen a lot of frivolous spending on unnecessary projects when our infrastruc-ture, our roads, are just crumbling.” (Townsman, Oct. 2, 2014)

Now the City sees potential opportuni-ties to enhance and redevelop Idlewild Park. (Townsman, May 8, 2015). The pub-

lic input deadline is May 25 — a whopping 17 days. What’s behind the rush?

The City “sees opportunities to enhance and redevelop Idlewild Lake.” Where did these spending opportunities come from? Is this a round-about way to more frivolous spending by City Hall?

Idlewild Lake was not an issue for any candidate during the recent city election, and I haven’t heard of people in the streets marching for “enhancement and redevelop-ment” of Idlewild. The City’s suggestion that we turn Idlewild into an off-leash dog park or that we add a beach area — requir-ing endless truckloads of sand — is unwar-ranted. Idlewild is a gem the way it is; and if we need more frivolous spending, do it

elsewhere — and not on other Cranbrook jewels, Elizabeth Lake and the Community Forest.

The Conservative government is scat-tering $150 million all across Canada for park enhancement and development. The deadline for applications is June 27, so an-nouncement and photo ops can occur on the eve of the October federal election.

The City Council needs to realize that chasing federal grants skews the mission and goals of the City, and it ties the City to future maintenance costs forever.

The City of Cranbrook is looking for public input on what kind of Idlewild Park they want to see and what Idlewild Park means to them.

PAGE 6 MONDAY, MAY 25, 2015

E arly this month North Korea claimed to have launched a ballis-tic missile from a submerged sub-

marine. Yesterday it announced that it can now make nuclear warheads small enough to fit on a missile. If both those claims are true, then it can now deliver a nuclear weapon on the United States, at least in theory, but there is always some doubt about North Korean claims.

While a defence official in Pyongyang said on Wednesday that the country’s nuclear programme has “long been in the full-fledged stage of miniaturisation,” some Western defence experts think the North Koreans have not really mastered the art yet. But General Curtis M. Scaparrotti, the senior US military com-mander in South Korea, thinks otherwise.

“I believe (the North Koreans) have the capability to have miniaturized the device at this point, and they have the technology to potentially actually deliver what they say they have,” Scaparrotti said last October. But to be sure that the min-iaturised weapon actually works on a ballistic missile, North Korea would have to test-fire it to see if it survives the heat and vibration of re-entering the atmo-sphere in working order. It has not yet done that.

Others think that the footage of the submarine launch may have been faked. The missile emerges from the sea, sure enough, with the Maximum Leader look-ing proudly on, but Kim Jong-un was ob-viously photoshopped in, and in one shot there seems to be a barge floating on the surface near the missile’s exit point. However, let us assume for a moment that both claims are true – because they will be sooner or later.

What does North Korea intend to do

with its nuclear weapons? And why is it trying so urgently to persuade its ene-mies that they are ready to use now?

The rational and conventional answer to the first question is that Pyongyang’s nukes are solely intended to deter the United States from using nuclear weapons on North Korea. The United States has long-standing military alliances with both South Korea and Japan, and it has never said that it would abstain from using nu-clear weapons if there were a war between North Korea and its neighbours.

In this rational world, having enough nuclear weapons to deter the United States from going nuclear would give North Korea a major advantage in the event of a ground war in the Korean penin-sula. Its army is much big-

ger than the South Korean and US ground forces facing it, and it might even manage to overrun South Korea in a non-nuclear war. Or at least, it may believe it could.

How many North Korean nuclear weapons would be enough to deter the United States from using its own nukes, in this context? A dozen would probably do it, and Prof. Siegfried Hecker of Stan-ford University, a former director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, thinks that North Korea probably now has that many, “half likely fuelled by plutonium and half by highly enriched uranium.”

But rationality has not been the out-standing feature of politics in North Korea recently. In the past three years Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un has purged most of the men who worked closely with his fa-ther, Kim Jong-il, and many have been executed. Whole families have been mur-dered, including some with links by blood or marriage to Kim’s own.

The crimes imputed to the victims and the methods of killing also grow increas-

ingly bizarre. South Korea’s National In-telligence Service reported recently that North Korea’s defence minister, General Hyon Yong Chol, was executed last month for falling asleep during a meeting where Kim Jong-un was present.

Again according to the NIS, the weap-on used to execute General Hyon was a ZSU23-4, a Russian-made tracked an-ti-aircraft vehicle. It mounts four linked autocannons that fire 23 mm shells at the rate of 3,400 rounds per minute. If that report is true, it would have been hard to find enough of Hyon to bury.

The impression this all creates of po-litical chaos and utter uncertainty in the North Korean capital may be misleading. The old Soviet regime was never more monolithically stable than at the height of Stalin’s purges in 1936-38. But at the moment Kim’s regime certainly LOOKS unstable when viewed from the outside. There are no safe assumptions, including assumptions about the rationality of the leadership.

So we cannot just assume that North Korea’s nukes are purely defensive, or that Kim Jong-un, after 28 years of living in a gilded cage and three and a half years of absolute power, has been adequately in-structed in the theories of nuclear deter-rence that have become orthodox in older nuclear-weapons states. Nor is anybody in the North Korean military hierarchy going to try to instruct him now, if he is ignorant in such matters.

The simple truth is that the rest of the world doesn’t know what is happening in North Korea at the moment. The mystery has deepened with the abrupt last-min-ute cancellation of United Nations Secre-tary-General Ban Ki-moon’s scheduled visit to North Korea. We’ll have to wait to find out what’s really going on – but meantime military forces all over north-eastern Asia are undoubtedly on high alert.

Rookie right-hander Shayne Walker (#23) went the distance Saturday afternoon, tossing a complete game to claim his third victory of the season as the Cranbrook Bandits defeated the visiting Kootenai Valley Rangers 5-1 in the opening game of a doubleheader at Confederation Park.

Taylor rocc aSports Editor

Rookie right-hander Shayne Walker couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.

The 15-year-old na-tive of Creston pitched a complete game in the Cranbrook Bandits home-opener at Con-federation Park, helping guide his squad to a 5-1 victory over the Kootenai Valley Rangers in Ameri-can Legion Baseball ac-tion Saturday afternoon.

“It feels pretty good,” Walker (3-0) said. “Had the boys backing me up all the way. Just have to go with the flow, I guess.

“Keeping the ball down, picking at the knees and having my boys back me up [helped me go the distance].”

With the Bandits playing their first home game of the 2015 Amer-ican Legion Baseball season, head coach Paul Mrazek chose to hand the ball to his rookie ace in the first game of the doubleheader.

It didn’t take long for Walker to show why his coach has so much faith in him.

Walker went the dis-tance, throwing seven innings off the mound, whiffing three Rangers batters, while only giving up six hits and two walks.

The only run against the Bandits on the day

came on a passed ball during the fifth inning. With no earned runs al-lowed, Walker improved his ERA to 1.07 through five appearances this season.

“He keeps his pitch count down,” Mrazek said of Walker. “He struggled a little bit, but after that he got in his groove and was able to, for the most part, get ahead of the hitters. That way, he’s not going deep into the count and they’re not going to see a lot of pitches.”

The rookie right-hander got through seven innings of work having only thrown 91 pitches Saturday after-noon.

The run support was there for Walker, as the Bandits jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.

Centre fielder Con-nor Armstrong got the bats going with a run-scoring triple that brought third baseman Robert Nickell home for a 1-0 lead.

Armstrong finished the game 2-for-4, with an RBI and a run.

“It’s nice to play at

home in front of people you know,” Armstrong said Saturday. “Having one win is nice.

“Picking our pitches and being on time, hit-ting gaps [gave us suc-cess at the plate].”

With the next at-bat, first baseman Brendan Bird grounded in a field-er’s choice, but brought Armstrong in from third for a 2-0 advantage.

Like Armstrong, Bird wrapped the opening game of the double-header with a 2-for-4 performance at the

plate. He added two RBIs and one run for good measure, while walking twice.

That was really all the Bandits needed with solid team defense lim-iting the visiting Rang-ers to one run in the opening game.

If his contributions from the mound weren’t enough, Walker got into the action offensively as well, going 2-for-3 at the plate and scoring one run on a balk to put his team ahead 3-0 in the bottom of the second

inning. “Making the pitcher

work, putting balls in play and having a sharp eye,” Walker said. “That’s what gave us success [at the plate].”

The Bandits padded the lead by adding a run in the bottom of the fifth inning and two more in the bottom of the sixth.

After cruising to vic-tory in the opening game of Saturday’s dou-bleheader, things didn’t go quite as smoothly for the Bandits in the back half against the Rangers.

Building a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the sec-ond inning, the Bandits then fell behind as the Rangers rolled to a four-run third inning, before extending the lead to 6-1 in the top of the fifth.

A spirited rally made the final score close, but it wasn’t enough as the Bandits fell 6-4 to split Saturday’s doublehead-er with the Rangers.

“We got down on ourselves,” Armstrong said, “We got back into the game too late to comeback for a win.

“[You have to] keep positive and not get down on yourself. [When you’re down] you’re not going to want to be in the game and you’re going to make more errors and less hits because you’re not focused.

“We have to work to-gether as a team, not get down on ourselves and we’ll be able to pull out some more wins.”

Bird (0-1) started the game on the mound for the Bandits, lasting 2.2 innings before giving way to Daniel Mercan-delli.

Bird was tagged with the loss, but wasn’t the

only Bandits pitcher to have a tough go as Mer-candelli only lasted 0.2 innings before Noah Rennette came on in re-lief for 0.2 innings.

Jake Bromley finished the day on the bump, lasting three innings.

A three-run sixth in-ning made the game in-teresting as shortstop Carson Meggison laid down a bunt, which paired with a Rangers’ fielding error to bring two runs across.

On the following at-bat, second baseman Rylan D’Etcheverry slapped a single to cen-tre field, brining Meg-gison home to make it 6-4. That’s as close as the Bandits got.

“It was great to win the first game. We played pretty solid,” Mrazek said. “We need to tidy a couple things up, but that was a good start.

“But we can’t go into the second game and go in flat like that. We can’t go from playing so well to that flat, making errors and not hitting the ball.”

The doubleheader split with the Rangers leaves the Bandits 6-3 in the early stages of their American Legion Base-ball season.

Sunday, the Bandits travelled to Pincher Creek for a doublehead-er against Fort Macleod. Results were unavailable by print deadline.

“We’re progressing well,” Mrazek said. “Of-fensively, we’ve got to hit the ball on the ground. Fly balls don’t take bad hops.”

The Bandits travel to Whitefish to face Glacier ‘B’ Twins on, May 30, before visiting the Libby Loggers on May 31.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Anything less exciting than what you have experienced during the past few days could be a downer. Detach and gain some perspective, and you won’t have a reason to com-plain. An unexpected call from a distance could surprise you. Tonight: Enjoy the moment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can have your way if you know what you want. Many people around you seem driv-en by anger and confusion, but not you. You simply are in the moment and are enjoying every minute of it. Don’t let a parent’s attitude get to you. Tonight: As you like it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Once in a while you need a

day away from everyone and everything. Right now, it might appear to others that you are avoiding them, but in truth, you just need some rest. They will see the difference in you when you re-emerge in a few days. Tonight: News could be unset-tling. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, as it might be easier in the long run.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Look beyond the obvious. You might feel as if you have too

much on your plate, but you’ll still dive right into the project at hand. Know what your lim-its are, and be willing to work within those parameters. Fortu-nately, you have a lot of energy. Tonight: Take it easy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be overassertive with a loved one. How you handle a changeable situation is likely to define the quality of the relationship between you. Use caution with financial mat-ters, as money is likely to drift right out of your hand. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will bring forth many pos-sibilities because of your up-beat attitude. You’ll feel good, especially when surrounded by loved ones. Be yourself, and you’ll discover the importance of authenticity. Avoid a grumpy family member. Tonight: Defer to someone else.

Dear Annie: I work in an office with 35 women, and it seems as though someone is always hating someone else. Right now, I am the target of two women. One of these women used to be my friend, and I have no idea why she isn’t any longer. I once asked her about it, but her reply surprised me. She said I took advantage of her by switching shifts so I could leave early while she worked late. I double-checked and discovered that, of the many times we switched, I ended up working late shifts more often than she did. She also said I spoke poorly about her ex-husband, who cheated on her for years while she cried on my shoulder. She claims she never once spoke against my ex, but the truth is, her constant negative comments were instrumental in my final decision to leave him. I don’t understand why she is angry enough to end a decades-long friendship, although she has done this with other people in her life. She now works with a woman who used to be friendly but no longer speaks to me except to insult me. I have done nothing to deserve this treatment. I still am friendly toward them because I don’t want to lower myself to their childish level. But it bothers me, especially because it is so obvious. Is there any way to make this better, or do I simply have to live with it? -- Upset at Work Dear Upset: Your ex-friend and her co-worker enjoy the negative vibes because it makes them feel powerful and in control. Because they feed off of each other, it prevents either one from listening to others’ opinions or working out their issues. It’s not uncommon for co-workers to behave as though they never left high school. Stop trying to befriend either of these women, and ignore their negativity. Do your job, act professionally and neutrally toward them, and try to make friends with others. These sad women aren’t worth one second of your time. Dear Annie: I am a communication skills consultant. I disagree with your response to “Beaucoup Baffled,” who received an invitation to an overseas wedding and wanted to know whether she could bring a friend. You suggested a rather cryptic response (“I’m not sure I’m up to making such a long journey by myself”) in the hope that the future bride would understand the hidden meaning. Why not just ask a simple question, such as “Would it be OK if I brought my boyfriend?” -- Blainville, Quebec Dear Quebec: We understand your objection, but it is wrong to put the bride in a position where she could feel obligated to invite an extra person. She may not have the room or the budget to do so. She even may have intended to introduce her traveling friend to a nice French guy. By saying that one is not up to making the trip alone, it gives the bride the option of including the extra person without backing her into a corner or forcing her to be unkind.

Arthur George Thomas Reeve

“Tom”1923 – 2015

With much sadness, our family wishes to announce the passing of Tom Reeve on Tuesday, May 19, 2015.Dad was born in London, England on July 23, 1923. Our father served in the Royal Air Force as

an armourer during WWII. He immigrated to Canada in 1957 with his wife and eldest daughter.We were very blessed to have a father, dad and papa like Tom. He was a true gentleman and respected by many.Tom had a 25 year career in the insurance industry as a broker and was a partner in the Sivorite Reeve Insurance Agency. He was a strong supporter and dedicated member of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles (F.O.E.).Tom was predeceased by his wife Betty. He is survived by his sister Doll in London, England; his three children Helen (Barry), David (Anna-Lisa) and Jennifer (Ken); and five grandchildren Brett, Shaun, Bryan, Steven and Kaylin.At Tom’s request there will be no celebration of life service.

Papa, we will miss you and will cherish our memories together forever.

Love your family.Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Clare ClanC yCanadian Press

REGINA — Trucks hauling cargo from Can-ada through the United States to Mexico and back navigate border crossings without the

need for passports, visas or even a driver to steer them.

It’s an idea that’s not too far-fetched, says a group that met in North Dakota last week.

Marlo Anderson with

the Central North Amer-ican Trade Corridor As-sociation says members are working to turn the idea into reality.

The plan is for an au-tonomous vehicle corri-dor along Route 83,

which runs north-south through Texas, Oklaho-ma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota. The road then continues into Manito-ba.

A study into the fea-

sibility of the project is being planned and An-derson says the group wants to travel to com-munities along the cor-ridor to gain support.

“One of the challeng-es we have here in

North Dakota is that we have a lot of energy pro-duction going on right now, but not enough pipelines to carry the oil from North Dakota to its destination point,” he said.

That means other commodities, such as grain, need to fight for space on trains. A sepa-rate corridor could re-lieve that pressure, he said.

“We’re hopeful that, working with the Cana-dian government, the Mexican government, the United States, we can create some kind of automated way ... (to) streamline that process of border crossings.”

The technology, though experimental, already exists in driver-less vehicles that use tools such as GPS to navigate roads, Ander-son said.

Unmanned vehicles are more efficient, he suggested.

“They don’t need to worry about a driver having too many hours in a day or in a week. Those types of things go by the wayside because the vehicle doesn’t care.”

Anderson said he understands why the idea is unnerving for some, but noted that unmanned vehicles have the potential to re-move human error from driving.

“What we have to do is to educate people.”

One of the concerns Anderson hears most often is that a vehicle’s system could be hacked and taken over. “There have to be security mea-sures in place so that doesn’t happen.”

Roy Ludwig, mayor of Estevan in southeast-ern Saskatchewan near the border, attended the association’s summit and says he believes in the project.

“You have to flesh it out and take care of all the intricacies, but it’s definitely worthwhile looking into it,” he said. “I would support the new technologies and see where they go.”

Ludwig added that such a corridor could foster trade with the United States.

“I think you’ll see more and more people get interested as this gains momentum.

“It’s not that far away.”
