East Kootenay elk Employers benefit from hiring numbers level off persons with disabilities: Minister G RE G A MOS Columbia Valley Pioneer
With just under a week remaining in the bull elk hunting season in the East Kootenays, populations of the elegant ungulate appear to have reached the desired levels after five years of efforts — which has meant a limited season thus far for hunters. “We closed the youth and senior season between Canal Flats and Invermere,” said Tara Szkorupa, a wildlife biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources in Cranbrook. “All the general open seasons
for antler-less elk were closed this year, except for the early bow seasons,” she added, in order to meet the Kootenay Elk Management Plan objectives. That called for a 20 to 40 per cent reduction in South Trench elk populations, which have been reduced by 35 per cent over the last five years. That means a lower elk harvest is now needed to preserve the population at its current level. “With the snow in the mountains, animals will start to move around now,” said Ms. Szkorupa, who classifies elk as “probably the
biggest draw” for hunters in the region. “They’re still rutting right now,” she added. “The hunting season started off pretty slowly this year, but things are definitely picking up now with the cooler weather.” The open season on six-point and larger elk bulls is now underway in the region, and will last until October 20th. There’s also limited entry hunting on elk cows and calves. (The open season normally includes five to 10 days in early to mid-September.)

B.C.’s Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation was in Cranbrook last week to mark Community Living Month
S A L LY M AC D O N A L D Townsman Staff
It’s Community Living Month in B.C., and the province’s Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation Don McRae was in Cranbrook Friday to mark the occasion. McRae was guest of honour at a special lunch held by the Cranbrook Society of Community Living Friday to recognize businesses and other stakeholders in community living. Organizations such as the City of Cran-
brook, the Salvation Army and Works BC, and businesses such as McDonald’s, Waste Management and the Cranbrook Daily Townsman employ individuals with disabilities, and McRae spoke to the converted about how businesses benefit from hiring people with disabilities. “One of the things that some people in our society don’t realize is that persons with disabilities are incredibly loyal, they like to stay with a company
that has allowed them to come work for them, they are incredibly hard working, they are incredibly diligent in showing up on time, and they are a huge asset to that employer,” said Minister McRae. He pointed out that 95 per cent of people with disabilities require less than $500 spent by businesses to help them adapt to the position, and 60 per cent require no adaptation. Yet 70 per cent of people with disabilities in B.C. are unem-
ployed. “Persons with disabilities have such a great role to play in our society. They have the ability to step up and provide huge opportunities to every employer in the province in every sector,” said McRae. During his speech, McRae announced a new $100,000 scholarship fund that will begin taking applications on January 1, 2014.

Many experts now believe that consuming vitamin supplements in liquid form is substantially more beneficial than relying on solid pills-a belief that is supported by research studies:“liquid supplements contain the nutrients in a more highly bioavailable form, are gentler to the stomach, and sometimes are more suitable than solid supplements, especially for children and elderly patients.” The liquid advantage A liquid multivitamin supplement offers a number of benefits over solid forms for people of all ages, but especially for older adults or those with known digestive issues.

ue to influence the population.” Elk hunting seasons were expanded in 2010 in part to help reduce crop damage in the South Trench area. Even though the elk population had dropped in the preceding years, crop damage persisted, leading the ministry to look at site-specific solutions for the hardest-hit agricultural areas. “There’s a lot of different objectives with elk,” explained Ms. Szkorupa. “A lot of them aren’t migratory anymore; they’re on the farmers’ fields year-round, which can cause higher levels of damage. That was one of the factors when we were trying to determine a target population size.” “There’s also general grasslands health, and trying to ensure we don’t have too many elk really reducing the health of the grasslands through overgrazing, which will negatively impact elk over the long term,” she said.

McRae marks Community Living month Continued from page 1 Through Community Living B.C. and the B.C. Government Employees’ and Service Union, the fund allows people with disabilities throughout B.C. to apply for scholarships of up to $2,500 for: • skills training related to securing employment opportunities; • training courses being offered by accredited BC institutions; • indirect costs associated with attending post-secondary education and training; and • community recreation activities that promote quality of life and new skills. “Lots of us have been in jobs where we get to a certain degree in the company and we can’t go any further because we don’t have the skills going forward. This might be allowing an individual to do a bit more training, maybe get a promotion, maybe the chance
to apply for a different job, that gives you more opportunity,” McRae said. “It’s all about inclusion and choice and employability.” Earlier on Friday, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett took Minister McRae to the Salvation Army in Cranbrook, where a proposed homeless shelter would be built if B.C. Housing approves funding. Bennett has previously said that getting funding for the shelter is his top priority in this term in office. “If Bill has made it the number one project that he is going to take on this term, I know we will be hearing a lot about it in Victoria,” McRae said, calling Bennett a “bulldog” in taking on issues for the Kootenays. “This opportunity, with a combination of transition housing, some shelter space and space for families, it’s a large investment and
one that I think is really important for the good of the community,” McRae said. “Programs like this will keep people out of the health system which saves the province huge amounts of money, and it will also give individuals a better quality of life.” The proposed homeless shelter would be operated by the Salvation Army. The plans as presented to B.C. Housing are for a $16.6 million facility that would include 15 overnight beds for men and 15 for women; 16 second-floor units for stays up to two years; 16 third-floor units for stays longer than two years; and four family units with three bedrooms in each. Besides housing, the facility will have a commercial kitchen and cafeteria, and space for amenities such as hair cuts, access to computers, counselling, and a dentist’s office.
PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Proposed Amendment of Official Community Plan The City of Cranbrook is proposing to amend the City’s Official Community Plan (OCP). On October 7, 2013, City Council gave First Reading to “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3776, 2013”. The proposed Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will change the land use designation of the subject property from “Park / Institutional / Recreation” to “Core Commercial”. Approval of the proposed OCP amendment will enable consideration of a zoning amendment of the subject property’s zoning designation from “P-2, Community Recreation Zone” to “C-1, Community Commercial Zone”. The subject property is legally described as Parcel A (Reference Plan 46091I) of District Lot 5 Kootenay District and is located at 1 Van Horne Street South as shown on the reference map below.
A copy of the proposed “City of Cranbrook Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3776, 2013” is available at City Hall for public information. If you require more information or wish to comment on the proposed amendment of the Official Community Plan, please contact Rob Veg, Senior Planner at Tel: (250) 489-0241, or Fax: (250) 4267264. Please provide written comments by October 21, 2013.

Cranbrook City Council
Seniors Games bid unsuccessful Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff
The city’s bid to host the 2015 and 2016 B.C. Seniors Games was unsuccessful. The city received correspondence back from the B.C. Seniors Games Society noting that it will be North Vancouver that hosts the 2015 Games. CAO Wayne Staudt told council that the society would be redoing their bid package because they acknowledged that the way it is laid out gives an advantage to urban centres over rural. New updated bid packages will be released in January. Surplus grader The Cranbrook Snowmobile Club asked the city to consider donating some surplus grader equipment it has. The problem is that the city had already put the equipment up for tender by the time it received the letter. The club hoped the 1972 Cat grader could be used for grating in the Lumberton area. Mayor Wayne Stetski noted that by the time the letter had been received, bids had already been tendered and received. Stetski said the highest bid was $9,600, which was higher than anticipated. He said that in terms of cash there is a limit for donation of around $500. “This is different in terms of it is a piece of equipment that is surplus to the city,” he said. Coun. Bob Whetham said that he thought that since the city advertised the equipment for sale, obtained bids and found them acceptable it is honour bound to accept them. There is some fine print in the tender that says the city has the right to accept or reject the bids, but it could be challenged. Coun. Denise Pallesen said she didn’t have a problem donating the equipment, but felt it also wouldn’t be fair to the bidders. Council received the letter for information.
Sustainability plan The Integrated Community Sustainability Plan committee submitted its report to council with some recommendations. Chris Ayling, chair of the committee, noted in the summary that it had essentially fulfilled its purpose of developing a sustainability plan and recommended that the role of monitoring the community’s progress towards being sustainable be taken up by city staff. Ayling also recommended using left over committee funds of $61,737 for a multi-year survey tracking fiscal, social and environmental sustainability. He envisions the city using the data from the survey to develop new goals to respond to future challenges. Coun. Pallesen suggested contacting the College of the Rockies to see if students there would have an interest in conducting the surveys. Coun. Sharon Cross added that University of the Calgary and the University of British Columbia may also be options to look into. Coun. Diana J. Scott said she was disappointed to see the committee splitting up, since she thought it could look into other aspects of the community like energy use or economics. City staff will come back with a report on what the costs would be to develop a professional survey. Pothole problems A number of councillors brought forward residents’ pothole complaints during Monday night’s meeting, Oct. 7. Coun. Pallesen said Frontage Road near the Harley Davidson and Volkswagen dealerships is littered with potholes. “There are some serious potholes and I understand that they’ve been filled a number of times but they just keep popping out as they do all over the place,”
she said. “Apparently they’ve had a number of bikes dumped. It’s a very dangerous spot to lose your bike, because it’s a very busy road.” CAO Staudt said the issue would be brought to Public Works, but it is also dependent on whether staff and material are available. Whetham had a resident come and talk to him about 29th Avenue and 9th Street, wondering if public works would have time to look at it this fall. “I went to have a look and there’s some pretty good size potholes in there,” Whetham said. “It’s a bit of a slalom course.” Sign approval lagging Coun. Pallesen brought up a letter from a business doing temporary signs complaining about approval for temporary signs taking up to two weeks. “We went to a lot of work, as did our staff for our sign bylaw,” she said. “It’s now taking this one business two weeks for a temporary sign approval.” She said that is a long time for a business that deals in temporary signs. Pallesen said it also means they are not meeting or exceeding the barriers to business issues identified through a Chamber of Commerce survey. CAO Staudt said staff are reviewing the process. in the letter the business requested the two week waiting period to be lowered to three days. “To some extent that depends on the backlog,” Staudt said. “That’s one of the issues that we’re facing right now. There are 12 permit requests in front of this one. So we deal with them as they walk through the door; first in first served.” Pallesen said that there needs to be a way to speed the process up, whether a new computer program or hiring a part-time employee.

Fred Graham
Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.

The African Union and the ICC
S
urprise of the week: the club of African presidents (aka the African Union) has held a special meeting and declared that African presidents should be immune from prosecution for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes while they are in office. They are taking this step, they say, because the International Criminal Court is unfairly targeting Africans: all eight cases currently under investigation are about crimes committed in African countries. “We would love nothing more than to have an international forum for justice and accountability, but what choice do we have when we get only bias and race-hunting at the ICC?” said President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya (who by a strange coincidence is currently under indictment by the ICC). “The ICC...stopped being the home of justice the day it became the toy of declining imperial powers.” The AU is not demanding perpetual immunity for its presidents. It only wants to reject the evil meddling of Western imperialists, and to keep African heads of state free from prosecution while they are still in office. What could be more reasonable than that? If the AU gets its way now, the victims of current African leaders who commit crimes against humanity will only have to wait until they retire to see justice done. True, some African leaders stay in power for a long time – e.g. Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea (32 years),
Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola (32 years), Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe (31 years), and Paul Biya of Cameroon (29 years) – but Africans are patient people. Except that they may not be that patient any more. Twenty years ago the accusation that the ICC is just an instrument of imperialist oppression and Western racism would still have played well in Africa, but the audience has a lot more sophisticatGwynne got ed. The AU’s modest proposal has been greeted Dyer with an outcry all over the continent, from Africans who know that their leaders can be just as cynical and self-serving as leaders anywhere else. The most eloquent protest came from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the 82-yearold hero of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa. “Those leaders seeking to skirt the (ICC) are effectively looking for a license to kill, maim and oppress their own people without consequence,” he said. “They simply vilify the institution as racist and unjust, as Hermann Goering and his fellow Nazi defendants vilified the Nuremberg tribunals following World War II.” So is the ICC really a racist organisation that unfairly targets African states? The fact that all eight cases currently being prosecuted involve African countries certainly sounds suspicious. So does the fact that three of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, which has the right to refer cases to the ICC, have not accepted the court’s jurisdiction themselves. But things are more
complicated than they seem. One hundred and twenty-two countries have already ratified the Treaty of Rome that created the ICC in 1998, including two-thirds of the countries in Africa and all the countries in Latin America except Cuba and Nicaragua. The Chief Prosecutor of the ICC is an African (Fatou Bensouda of Gambia), as are five of its eighteen judges. Four of the eight cases now before the Court (Uganda, Mali, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Central African Republic) were referred to the International Criminal Court by the African countries themselves. Two were begun by the ICC’s Chief Prosecutor (Kenya and Côte d’Ivoire). And only two of the seven new cases now under consideration (Afghanistan, Georgia, Guinea, Colombia, Honduras, Korea and Nigeria) are in African countries. This is not a conspiracy against Africa, nor is the AU defending African rights. It is an exclusive club of African presidents that is attempting to get its own members, the leaders of Sudan and Kenya, off the hook, and to protect the rest of the membership from any future legal proceedings. As former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said, it would be a “badge of shame” for Africa if they get away with it, but they may not. They can easily dismiss the opinions of the “international community” (whatever that is), but they may find it harder to ignore the indignation they are arousing among their own citizens.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Bomber Command
This letter is addressed to David Wilks as our local MP. It is also directed to the Harper government, and particularly to the Prime Minister, former Defence Minister Peter MacKay, former Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney, and Chief of Air Staff Lt. Gen. Andre Deschamps. I am writing this as an open letter because I have contacted all of the above named, and have yet to receive a helpful response from any of them. This issue concerns the way in which this Harper government deals with our military veterans. It would seem that once our Armed Forces personnel are no longer on active service, they are treated en masse as a nuisance problem. The latest insult to our veterans is to deny them the financial support they need to deal with the various injuries and handicaps they suffer as a result of their military service. A case in point concerns a friend of mine, a local veteran who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in World War II. This gentleman was a pilot who flew bombers in 35 raids over occupied Europe and Germany. He survived the war and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his skill, devotion to duty, and bravery. He was a member of Bomber Command, which helped shorten the war in Europe, at a cost of 10,000 Canadian aircrew lives. During and after the war, the men who flew in Bomber Command were not acknowl-
edged as having been part of a very important and costly military campaign. In 2012 the British government recognized this oversight and made amends by erecting a memorial in London and by awarding the surviving veterans a “bar” to add to their military decorations. The Canadian government followed the British lead but did not immediately act in putting the new decoration in the hands of qualified veterans. Most of these vets who still survive are in the 85 to 95 age range, and they are dying every day. In July 2012 my friend Dave, aged 91, very much looked forward to receiving his Bomber Command decoration, and so I sent letters to the politicians mentioned above to request that the awards be made as soon as possible. This was not done. By October 2012 Dave was in hospital with cancer. I sent another letter to Mr. Wilks et al, providing this information and requesting that some recognition be made to Dave while he was still with us. This was not done. Dave died the following month. I recognize that the machinations of bureaucracy take time, and are impersonal. But at the very least, a phone call or card from our own MP would have been a welcome gesture. Shame on this government. And shame on those people who vote to keep it in power. Lest we forget! Peter Moody Kimberley
Shelter Box
Words cannot express how much we appreciate what our community does for ShelterBox Canada. On September 30, one day after another fantastic Kimberley Community Fall Fair I mailed a cheque for $1,450 to ShelterBox Canada in order that they could ship one ShelterBox for 10 Syrian Refugees costing $1,000. This is the largest amount ever raised in two days at the Fall Fair during our six years at the Fair. Kimberley Rotary has raised $80,000 since September 2008. The world-wide Syrian Refugee Appeal to help 2 million in refugee camps, 4 million homeless within Syria a total of 6 million in need has got off to a great start across Canada. The goal is to raise $3.2 million worldwide to allow ShelterBox International to purchase an additional 5,000 ShelterBoxes to the already 4,500 currently in place. The continuous support by the Kimberley Daily Bulletin, The Jim Pattison Broadcast Group, the hundreds of volunteers who make the Fall Fair a success all deserve our sincere thanks. Tourism Kimberley would be delighted to see the addresses of ShelterBox donors on September 28 and 29. Kimberley is a great place to be. Thank you all. Graham Mann ShelterBox Canada Ambassador
‘Social justice’ as indoctrination
A
s the B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bargaining table after a summer off, I’m reminded of former education minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union. It started with a lecture. “In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled. Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superior to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom defined. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned. Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual differences. That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy efforts at all grades. Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homophobia and sexism” but also “poverty and globalization.”
The BCTF has a quarterly “Social Justice Newsletter” filled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefined “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete BC Views relative measures. One article describes a Tom social justice club for Grade Fletcher 2 and 3 students, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic plan to address child poverty.” Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds can understand what “systemic” means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.” And what about that darned “globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops. Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation. This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any

different? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions. A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team. Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

Nitros split with Rockies and Rockets in weekend action TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Nitros split their weekend action with a road loss to the Rockies, but remain undefeated in their home barn with a 6-3 win over the visiting Rockets. After defeating the Rockets in a mid-week game last Wednesday, the Nitros headed up to Invermere for a rematch, but lost after being held scoreless over two periods. Columbia Valley held a 2-1 lead after the first period, on goals from Dean Smith and Nigel Swab, while Darren Martin answered for Kimberley. Peter Matthews added a goal in the middle and final periods for the Rockies to close out the game. Justin Miller faced a shooting gallery in net for the Rockies, stopping 42 shots for the win, while Jeremy Mousseau turned away 11 shots in goal for the Nitros. Special teams was a bit of a struggle, as Kimberley scored once in seven opportunities,
while the Rockies capitalized once in four tries with the man-advantage. Kimberley returned home for their second weekend matchup on Saturday against the Rockets, building up a 5-1 lead going into the third period, which ended with a 6-3 final score.
Jared Marchi had a monster night with two goals and five assists, while Mousseau made 20 saves for the win. Though Golden struck first, the Nitros answered back with six unanswered goals over the course of the game. Connor Beauchemin got on the board first after the halfway mark of the opening period, but the Dynamiters closed out the first period with three goals scored over a
span of just over two minutes. Brandon Bogdanek and Marchi got theirs on separate powerplays 28 seconds apart, while Dallin Wolf drew blood with 2:24 remaining in the period. Jason Richter and Brady Revie added goals in the second period; Richter on the powerplay and Revie on a shorthanded effort. Marchi got his second of the game five minutes into the final period, but Golden added a pair from Braeden Allkins and Daniel Dahlin to close out the game. Kimberley’s powerplay was deadly, with three goals in five opportunities, while Golden scored twice with the man-advantage. Kimberley remains on top of the Eddie Mountain Division with 15 points—three ahead of the Thunder Cats, which bring up second place. Overall, Nelson holds the top spot in the KIJHL, and are still undefeated in regulation after their first 10 games.

Kootenay Ice goaltender Mackenzie Skapski tracks the puck outside the crease while Dylan Busenius of the Prince Albert Raiders tries to get a stick on it during WHL action at Western Financial Place on Sunday evening.
Ice split with Tigers, Raiders TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Kootenay Ice experienced polar opposites over the weekend by being on both ends of a shutout. The Ice were held scoreless on Saturday in a 3-0 loss to Medicine Hat, but returned home to keep Prince Albert off the scoreboard in a 2-0 win on Sunday. Ice crease guardian Mackenzie Skapski was in net for both games, recording his first shutout of the new campaign against the Raiders. “We’ve been inconsistent as of late, including myself, and today was a bounce-back game for me compared to yesterday, so I’m glad to get the first one of the year,” said Skapski. “…We all weren’t happy with our effort yesterday [Saturday]. Everybody needs to be on board for us to be successful and yesterday there were quite a few
passengers and today, everybody was on board, and the results came.” The Raiders, who were in town on a fourgame road trip, have cooled since their hot start of five straight wins to open the season. The team is led by former Kootenay Ice head coach Cory Clouston, who signed on to coach the club in the offseason, replacing Steve Young. Clouston was an assistant to Ice head coach Ryan McGill during his first tenure with the team from 1997-2002, before taking on the top job for five years. During Clouston’s reign as head coach, he became the franchise’s winningest coach, until McGill recently surpassed it a few weeks ago while back for his second tenure. McGill said it was nice to visit with his former colleague before the game, but when the game gets going, it’s all business.

“Once the puck drops, it doesn’t matter, you want to win the game,” said McGill, “but certainly when I came out, gave him a little hello and it’s good to see him back in the league and they have a nice team over there.” Skapski earned his shutout against the Raiders with 30 saves and was, by far, the best player on the Kootenay squad. He robbed Gage Quinney, who was all alone at the side of the net, with a sharp leg save, and also stood tall on a few odd-man rushes throughout the night. “Our goaltender was there to make two key and huge saves in the second period, made a couple big saves in the third period, but we need to be better as a group, for sure,” said McGill. On the other side of the rink was Nick McBride, the stopper for the Raiders, who played a solid game as well, limiting the Ice to only one goal in 30 shots. He was sharp all game, save for an effort by Descheneau, who took a feed from Reinhart inside the offensive zone an sneaked a low shot into the net. Luke Philp added a second goal with the empty net in the dying minute of the game to make it a 2-0 final. Though McBride was solid in goal, the Ice had their chances to put more pucks into the net,
something that McGill took issue with. “Obviously, we were happy that we won, but we can’t continually rely on Reinhart and Descheneau to score goals,” McGill said. “We need some secondary scoring from guys who are getting plenty of ice time and ample opportunity, so sooner or later, it’s going to bite us in the youknow-what. “We need to get guys that can drive to the net, get second and third chances to the net and lessen our turnovers in the neutral zone.” Combined, Reinhart and Descheneau have scored 15 goals for the Ice this year, which equals 51 per cent of the team’s offensive production. Special teams wasn’t a factor at all against Prince Albert, as no penalties were called on either side for the whole game. Earlier, on Saturday, the Tigers scored once in each period to beat the Ice in Medicine Hat. Goals came from Miles Koules, Cole Sanford and Chad Labelle, while Skapski made 18 saves in defeat. Both teams were shut out in five powerplay opportunities. Kootenay is tied with the Hitmen at 11 points in the Eastern Conference, however, Calgary holds the upper rung at fifth place in the standings with a game in hand.

Veteran Spanish coach looks to Bombers earn rare win, change culture of Canadian soccer beat Montreal 34-27 Neil Davidson Canadian Press
Far from home, Canadian soccer is getting a reboot under Benito Floro. Long, demanding classroom sessions. Detailed video reviews. “One camp is equivalent to three months of club football,” said veteran midfielder Julian de Guzman, who captained Canada last time out. Floro, 61, brings with him a wealth of experience, having managed clubs from Real Madrid in Spain to Monterrey in Mexico. He’s trying to instill that knowledge in a Canadian squad that has seen little success of late. Floro says he needs a lot more time with his Canadian talent, especially since a lot of the young Canadians in MLS are not starting. “We need a lot of camps,” he said in a media conference call Monday. Floro’s teachings also take time to absorb. “The experience that we’re going through with Benito is kind of a culture shock right
now,” said De Guzman. “It’s a new kind of mentality and culture to comprehend,” he added. De Guzman says it reminds him of when he first went to play in Spain at the age of 24 after playing in Germany. “It was night and day,” he said. “So it’s going to take time for the Canadian national team and Canadians to understand where he’s coming from.” The veteran Spanish coach will see his team in action Tuesday when Canada, ranked No. 106 in the world, takes on No. 53 Australia at Craven Cottage, the west London home to Fulham. It’s Floro’s second camp as Canadian coach, following one last month in Spain. The World Cupbound Australians will be a motivated opposition. Tuesday’s game is the first since manager Holger Osieck, a former Canadian national team coach, was fired in the wake of successive 6-0 defeats to Brazil and France. Interim coach Aure-

Benito Floro is the head coach for the national men’s team soccer team. lio Vidmar will guide the Socceroos against Canada. “For a team that just qualified for the World Cup, they definitely need to get something going themselves,” said de Guzman. “It’s just around the corner. I’m sure they’re looking at this match as some kind of redemption match, something to get them going and bring them back up. “We’re on the same page as well. Even
though we’re not in a World Cup, we’re pretty much in the same scenario where we need these kind of games against these type of teams just to regain that confidence and that positive feel again.” De Guzman notes the last time Canada won a game was a 3-0 decision over Cuba in Toronto in October 2012. Canada has gone 0-8-3 since then, outscored 21-2 during that winless run.
Cardinals looking to spoil the party again Frederic J. Frommer Associated Press
WASHINGTON The Los Angeles Dodgers are hoping to win their first World Series title in a quarter-century. To do it, they’ll have to get past baseball’s big roadblock. In the past two years, the St. Louis Cardinals extended even longer droughts in Pittsburgh and Washington. And in 2011, the Cardinals wrecked the party for the Texas Rangers, the franchise that moved from D.C. to the Lone Star State four decades ago. Former St. Louis slugger Mark McGwire, now the Dodgers batting coach, said he wasn’t surprised his old club stands in the way of a title for his new team. “You know what? I think everybody figured you’re going to have to go through St. Louis to get to the World Series,” McGwire said before the start of the NL
championship series. “Here we are.” And not doing too well, so far. The Cardinals led the Dodgers 2-0 in the best-of-seven matchup going into Game 3 Monday at Dodger Stadium. To fans in other cities, it must seem unfair. While they’ve been waiting for generations in Kansas City, Seattle and elsewhere for that special season, the Cardinals seem to show up every October. Making their 10th playoff appearance in 14 years, the Cardinals are in the NLCS for the third straight season. They’re looking for their third World Series championship since 2006. And along the way, they keep breaking hearts. Meanwhile, the Pirates haven’t won a World Series since 1979, when Willie Stargell and the gang grooved to the Sister Sledge disco hit “We Are Family” and
defeated the Baltimore Orioles in seven games. A victory by the Cardinals over the Pirates in the decisive Game 5 of the NL division series ensured that Pittsburgh will go at least 35 years between crowns. Last year, the Nationals were hoping to bring a championship to Washington for the first time since the Jazz Age. But the Cardinals rallied from a 6-0 deficit to win Game 5 of the NLDS and prolong Washington’s wait, which will hit
90 years next season. Washington’s first and only World Series championship came in 1924, when the old Senators defeated the New York Giants in Game 7. The winning run scored on a bad-hop grounder by Earl McNeely that bounced over third baseman Freddie Lindstrom in the bottom of the 12th inning. Walter Johnson, who had lost his first two starts, won the seventh game by pitching four scoreless innings in relief.
IT’S GOING TO BE...
MONTREAL - Will Ford caught a touchdown pass and ran in another as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers kept their slim CFL playoff hopes alive with a 34-27 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Monday afternoon. Clarence Denmark and back-up quarterback Jason Boltus also had TDs and Sandro DeAngelis kicked two field goals for Winnipeg (3-12), which must win its last three regular season games and have Montreal lose its last three to make the post-season. S.J. Green and Tyrell
Sutton scored and Sean Whyte had four boots for Montreal (6-9), which had its two-game winning run ended. The Bombers ended a four-game losing streak. Their second win in Montreal this season gave them a 2-1 edge in the three-game season series against the Alouettes. It was a slow-moving, flag-filed game between two clubs that have struggled for most of the season. A wet field led to eight first-half turnovers and a 17-17 score at the intermission. Desia Dunn picked off a Josh Neiswander pass on Montreal’s first
NFL boss: Redskins owner ‘way down the road’ in considering name change Schuyler Dixon Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he believes Washington owner Daniel Snyder is “way down the road” in consideration of whether the team should change its nickname. Goodell got a question about the latest debate over the name during a question-and-answer session with Dallas season ticket-holders before the Cowboys’ game Sunday night

against the Redskins. The commissioner says he knows Snyder “feels strongly” about keeping the name but “wants to do the right thing.” A small group of protesters gathered near the Cowboys’ stadium hours before the game. The Redskins were playing for the first time since President Barack Obama reignited the debate by saying he would “think about changing” it if he were the team’s owner.

possession to set up a DeAngelis boot. Late in the first quarter, Whyte fumbled the snap on a punt to turn over the ball on downs. On the next play, Max Hall hit Ford with a 17yard TD pass. Troy Smith replaced Neiswander in the second quarter and led a 60-yard TD drive capped by a 12-yard toss to Green. But Smith was picked off on his next series, and Neiswander was back in. After Mike Edem recovered a Hall fumble, Neiswander hit Duron carter with a 40toss to the Winnipeg one, where Sutton ran it in for a touchdown.

Horoscopes by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be aware of a change in your energy, and recognize how you might become more fussy and critical. The good news is that you are detail-oriented. You will accomplish more if you are left alone. Take that much-needed space. Tonight: Make it an early night. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Zero in on what you want, especially if someone challenges you. This person, whom you might be quite attached to, could demand more attention. You are capable of holding out, but ask yourself if it’s worth it. A new idea will pique your interest. Tonight: Where the crowds are. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Anger marks your decisions as of late. You might not want to push as hard as you have in the past. Someone you must behave respectfully around could be overly demanding. Adjust your attitude, and the interaction will change. Tonight: There could be
wildness on the homefront. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your sensitivity might be less of a problem if you would learn to detach. The way in which some of you will decide to achieve this distance could vary. Be very careful in the next few weeks, as you are likely to lose your temper. Tonight: Touch base with an older friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You have said a lot about how you feel and what you expect. At this point, you might be inclined to let go, which is not a bad idea. Others will be coming forward with ideas and investments. Remember, there is always a risk in saying “yes.” Tonight: Your treat. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Mars moves into your sign, which gives you additional energy and sex appeal. If you do not manifest the negatives of this transit, such as being picky and/or critical, you will see a change in how others approach you. Tonight: Accept someone’s invitation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be locked into a proj-
Tundra
ect that you can’t seem to get out of. If you become irritated or angry, you are unlikely to express those feelings. Know that there might be a cost to suppressing your true feelings. You even might get sick! Tonight: As late as you want. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity emerges quite suddenly in a discussion or meeting. You initially might be frustrated, but it won’t last long. You’ll begin to reframe a situation until you gain a clearer vision. A male friend could become very assertive. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to reconsider a matter involving real estate and/ or your domestic life. Extreme feelings could be affecting decisions at the moment. Stop. Investigate alternatives more openly. You could feel pulled in different directions. Remain centered. Tonight: At home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your ability to transform could startle those who know you well. Do not take a comment
personally; instead realize what might be going on with the other person. Your ability to make firm decisions could define the day. Tonight: Use your imagination. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use good sense with money matters. You could be wondering what would be best to do under the present circumstances. Someone with whom you have a financial involvement could become contentious if he or she does not get his or her way. Tonight: Pay bills first. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You feel energized, and it appears that others are reacting to your high energy. Someone even might become contentious in order to let you know that he or she counts, too. Try to walk in this person’s shoes. You will transform as a result. Tonight: Do what you want.

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: We belong to a dinner group with six married couples. One of the couples divorced after the husband caught his wife having an affair. He no longer comes to the dinner parties, but the ex-wife still shows up and brings her new (married) boyfriend. They have been together for three years. Here’s the bigger problem: She flirts with my husband at every social activity. She always gives him a hug when we run into her. He is always pleasant and chats, when I’d rather he was less chummy. One time, on New Year’s Eve, I saw my husband put his arm around her waist as she moved to the music with another man. I watched (humiliated) as the three of them swayed back and forth. I assume it was the alcohol that prompted him to do this. However, it apparently fueled her fire. At one dinner party, she leaned across the table toward me and made a comment about my husband’s “size.” I kept my cool and replied that it wasn’t her business, but my husband, who was sitting right next to me, said nothing. At the dinners, we act like friends, but I am sorely tempted to give her a piece of my mind. My husband is getting aggravated with me. He claims he’s never cheated on me and she’s never touched him inappropriately. He says, “What am I supposed to do?” I asked him to delete her cell number, but he has not done that. This woman is not my friend, and I think she’s crossed a line. Any suggestions? -- Had Enough Dear Enough: As always in such cases, the problem is less about the woman and more about your husband’s reaction. He allows her flirting and even encourages her, and then becomes annoyed with you for doubting him. It undermines your trust. There is no reason for him to have her phone number in his contact list. Ask him to delete it while you are watching. Then tell him all of his future responses to this woman’s inappropriate remarks should make it clear to her that he is not interested. If he refuses, the next step is counseling. Dear Annie: I have noticed that whenever there is a tragedy involving the death of a child, people place stuffed animals and dolls at the scene. Please, in memory of these children, tell readers to donate the toys and dolls to the local police or fire departments, hospitals or a cancer center where they will bring comfort to living children. -- Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: That’s a lovely idea, and we hope people will consider it, although not everyone will want to. There is some sentiment attached to marking the actual spot where a tragedy occurred. We understand why loved ones might object to having these tributes removed, but in many instances, they are a safety hazard. Also, stuffed animals that have been left out in the rain and mud are no longer in any condition to donate. The handling of these roadside memorials belongs to the local municipality. Many allow toys, dolls, etc., to stay for a specified period of time, and then the department of transportation removes them. In some areas, temporary memorials are replaced with a single permanent marker. The state of Delaware bans roadside memorials altogether and has instead provided the Delaware Highway Memorial Garden as a tribute. You should inquire with your local department of transportation and suggest the objects be donated. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Worried Wife,” whose 44-year-old husband drinks too much and refuses to see a doctor or dentist. In addition to the advice that you gave her to contact Al-Anon and make sure he has a valid will and that his affairs are in order, she also should make sure he has a lot of insurance. She will need it to raise their four children alone. -- K. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Psychic/client relationships
I have had a few letters this year telling me that most or some of what my guides and I have predicted has come true. However, they are still waiting for the other events which we have predicted to happen. I feel this has been a long standing criticism of those who have observed or have tried to investigate psychics and for those who have come for readings. I have also found this to be quite annoying when doing a reading for others why my guides and I are not on the same time frame so to speak. I have been wanting to write about the time and space frame when doing a reading for an individual. As I have mentioned I have received a few emails and the most recent one just the other day. I was talking to my guides and we have decided to choose this column to explain why when doing a reading for certain individuals this can happen. This means this does not happen in all readings with all individuals in fact in my experience quite the contrary. I mean, we may be a week or a month or even a few months out but really I’m not God, so give me a break. However, there are clients that phone, email, or come back to us in a year and even up to two years later and say, “You know I was wondering about what you told me but it did take up to nine months before I understood what was happening. Then I remembered the reading I had with you, but your timing was not accurate.” As I mentioned I have been well aware of the timing issue I have with my guides as well as all other psychics have on this plane. It frustrates me at times and when clients come and say, “It hasn’t happened yet.” It certainly causes me to fret and doubt my abilities at times. That’s my lesson to continually have faith in my guides and myself so thank you for that. However, doing so many readings over the years and analyzing why this time space problem is

We have become so reading and we have accustomed to this that noticed the timing bethis is the easy part. So comes more accurate. 2.

Tales from the Trail of Genghis Khan Adventurer Tim Cope coming to Kimberley on October 25
F o r t h e Tow n s m a n/ Bulletin
He has traveled on horseback from the capital of the Mongolian Empire to the edge of the Eurasian steppe, ridden a bicycle across Russia to China, and rowed a boat along the Yenisey River through Siberia to the Arctic Ocean. Next, Australian adventurer, author, and filmmaker Tim Cope – creator of the award-winning documentary ‘On the Trail of Genghis Khan’ – is coming to Kimberley. Audiences in both Kimberley and Cranbrook loved the film, and his live presentation at McKim Theatre promises to be captivating indeed. Cope, a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society and National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Honoree in 2007, has written two books – ‘Off the Rails: Moscow to Beijing on Recumbent Bikes’, published in 2003, and ‘On the Trail of Genghis Khan: An Epic Journey through the Lands of the Nomads’, just released in September. He is the creator of several documentary films and guides trekking jour-
Tim Cope in Asia. neys to remote western Mongolia. Tim’s presentation will be a behind-thescenes look at his 6,000-mile, three and a half-year quest to ride horses from the ancient capital of the Mongolian Empire, Karakorum, to the edge of the Eurasian steppe on the Danube. Aided by a series of stills and video that Cope captured en route, he will walk the audience through a journey that began as a boyish dream to immerse himself in the
fence-free life of Mongolia – though he could barely ride a horse before he began – and became an odyssey into the nomads’ fascinating past as powerful horse societies that helped shape the course of human history, and the precarious state that nomad culture finds itself in the modern post-Soviet world. It is a story full of drama, romance, and history, marred by tragedy and ending in triumph. This will be at once a unique evening of in-
spiration and insight into the tapestry of Eurasian steppe society, and a rare adventure reminiscent of a forgotten age. Tim Cope will speak at McKim Theatre on Friday, October 25 at 7:30 PM, presented by Wildsight Kimberley-Cranbrook. Doors open at 7 PM, and admission is by donation – $10 per person suggested. Refreshments will be available. For more information, visit www.wildsight.ca/events

B.C. construction industry turns to Ireland to fill jobs: “crisis” looming Keven Drews Canadian Press
Nuka Research and Planning Group
Gaps wide in B.C. oil spill scenarios Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating response time and effectiveness if oil was to spill at sea. Oil recovery in computer simulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent after five days, or as low as four per cent for Alaska crude, with another quarter evaporating. The study was commissioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s approval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning the TransMountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kitimat. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the

They are growing and evolving to meet the consumer’s interests and lifestyles and incorporating the latest technological developments. This is certainly great for readers and advertisers. SOURCE: NADBANK JOURNAL SEPT/08
study shows the need to increase response capability before the B.C. government would consider increased oil shipments. “While we respect federal jurisdiction over marine spills, we must ensure B.C.’s interests are being met, and that means adding more resources to protect our coast,” Polak said. The three-volume report also details the huge and growing traffic that exists now. Shipping data show a 17 per cent increase in marine traffic volume from 2011 to 2012. An estimated 110 million cubic metres of petroleum products per year are shipped, about a third of which is crudelike bunker oil carried as fuel on ships of all kinds. The biggest tanker cargo is 38 million cubic metres of mostly Alaska crude a year. The study includes recovery estimates for seven oil spill scenarios, six of which assumed a spill of Alaska North Slope crude that has been shipped by tankers
down the B.C. coast to U.S. refineries since the 1970s. Two scenarios involve an Alaska crude spill in Dixon Entrance, with four per cent recovery in summer an three per cent in winter. One scenario examines a summer-time spill of diluted bitumen in the Juan de Fuca Strait, with response from Canadian and U.S. ships and oil recovery equipment. It estimated 31 per cent oil recovery after five days, in summer conditions with daylight-only operations. Diluted bitumen tanker shipments from Kinder Morgan Canada’s Burnaby terminal hit a high of 69 in 2010. The expansion would mean 300 tankers a year in and out of Vancouver harbour. The federal government has launched its own research project to model the drift and behaviour of a bitumen spill in the ocean around Kitimat, and funded marine weather forecasting to facilitate shipping.

VANCOUVER — The current shortage of skilled tradespeople in Western Canada is so dire that the B.C. Construction Association is returning to Ireland this month to hire 600 people, said the group’s vice-president. In fact, even if one-infive students graduating from high school in B.C. during the next three years were to pursue a trade, there still wouldn’t be enough workers to fill shortages in the prov-
ince’s construction industry, said Abigail Fulton. Not everybody agrees with the recruitment drive, especially the province’s labour leaders who argue employers can find skilled, unionized Canadian workers to fill immediate, vacant positions. Yet, a consensus is developing that there will be a shortage of skilled workers in the coming decade, as proponents of the liquefied natural-gas industry, hydro-electric projects and
No advantage to low-income kids to have full-day K: study Canadian Press
WINNIPEG — A University of Manitoba study suggests that fullday kindergarten makes no difference over the long haul to kids with lower literacy skills. The research team examined full-day kindergarten in the Division Scolaire Franco-Manitobaine and in the schools with full-day kindergarten in St. James-Assiniboia School Division. Marni Brownell, senior scientist at the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, says results show while students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds made improvements in literacy levels in full-day kindergarten, the earlier gap with other children returned in later years. Brownell said the reason the gap reappears is because parents were not reinforcing literacy at home, were not reading to and with their kids, but they were modelling watching TV instead of reading themselves. “There’s lots of research that full-day kindergarten has an effect in getting kids ready for Grade 1,’’ Brownell said. “The literature shows
that full-day kindergarten may not be the best program for closing the gap. Putting all your eggs in one basket doesn’t make up the disadvantage.’’ DSFM and St. James-Assiniboia defended the benefits of their programs and challenged Brownell’s conclusions. Denis Ferre, superintendent of DSFM, questioned comparing data from diagnostic assessments of students rather than standardized tests. The DSFM is very happy with the results of full-day kindergarten, Ferre said. “Our first purpose has to do with cultural identity and language learning. More time in the language gives you better fluency,’’ he said. “We’ll never go back.’’
oil and gas pipelines push their proposals forward. “There’s lots of evidence to suggest we’re not doing enough to train construction workers in skilled trades in British Columbia, and if even half these projects come through we’re going to have a crisis unless we start now to deal with the problem,’’ said Jim Sinclair, president of the BC Federation of Labour. The provincial government’s own statistics indicate there will be more than one-million job openings over the next decade, and more than 153,000 of those will be among trades, transport, equipment operators and related occupations. In the B.C. construction industry, about 30,500 jobs were expected to go unfilled by 2012, according to the association’s own statistics. To address some of the problem, the association is organizing and hosting the Western Canada Construction Job Expo Oct. 31 in Bel-
fast and Nov. 2 in Dublin, where it will represent about 30 employers, half of them from B.C., said Fulton. Wanted will be workers in more than 50 construction trades, from bricklayers to framing carpenters, power-line technicians to welders. Even architects and structural engineers are in demand. Fulton said the association learned the Irish apprenticeship system was one of the best, and skilled trades people would be able to transition to Canada and earn their Red Seal, an interprovincial standard of excellence in the trades. She said the association also learned there was an abundance of trades’ people.
