Brent Bush seeks return to Council C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

During a three-day regional Philippine Consular Services visit to the area, the Philippine Consul General met with a joint session of City of Kimberley and the Kimberley & District Chamber of Commerce. Above are back row, l-r: Greg Bradley, Chamber of Commerce, Don McCormick, Councillor, Chantel Hack, Chamber of Commerce, Kelly Harms, Corporate Officer, Darryl Oakley, Councillor. Front row, l-r: Sophia Bradley, Lourdes Butalid, Filipino-Canadian Association, Neil Ferrer, Consul General, Mayor Ron McRae.

A familiar face from the East Kootenay political scene will be entering the race for a seat on Kimberley City Council. Former Councillor Brent Bush (20082011), and also a candidate in three federal elections in the Kootenay-CoBrent Bush lumbia riding, has announced he will seek a return to Council. Bush believes his political experience, along witwh his political science degree will allow him to bring a sense of balance and clarity to the many issues facing the community. “I understand how important it is to work with the senior levels of government, especially when it comes to project funding from the province and the feds.

WHISTLER MEETING

Mayor McRae at UBCM this week C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

It’s a busy time in Whistler this week as municipal and provincial politicians gather for the annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention. While many municipalities send large delegations of staff and Mayor and Council, Kimberley’s delegation is small — just Mayor

Ron McRae. It was decided to save money by not sending staff and while it was left open to Councillors to attend, in the end Councillors decided to save the expense and let the Mayor represent Kimberley. “It is quite costly,” McRae said in a phone interview from Whistler. “Some communities have their entire council plus staff here. That’s thousands of dollars.” There are many workshop opportunities

IRON MAN TOURNAMENT SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH

and meetings with Ministers that McRae was looking forward to this week. He has already met with government Ministers around the future of the Resort Municipality Initiative. Kimberley is one of 14 municipalities designated a resort community. “We have been assured the Resort Municipality Initiative will be place going forward,” McRae said.

Other issues include urban deer, which is a concern growing among other communities, McRae says. Last year at the UBCM, the government promised a task force on urban deer but that hasn’t materialized yet. “There’s a plan underway to create that task force but it’s not yet a reality,” McRae said.

Celebrate Culture Days with two artists at Centre 64 Howlin’ Dan: Artist’s talk and performance Sunday September 28th Howlin’ Dan will give an artist’s talk and performance at Center 64 in Kimberly from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. along with the incredibly talented Leah Wilson. Dan’s part of the the talk is about communicating ideas through art, ways of getting depth of meaning from a work and how art can very easily be totally misinterpreted. His current works, the show entitled “What’s the Matter” at Center 64 is all about how we take apart and construct our world through observation, how the parts of what we see can mean as much as the whole. Dan’s been putting symbols into paintings for years and years and it’s amazed him how much people don’t get the intended meaning. It’s a part of what’s led this current style of painting and drawing where symbols are used in place of colour, often repeated in the hopes of you the viewer noticing them. Howlin’ Dan will be using some of his paintings, like the entrancing 6’ tall, 5’ wide work, Door of Perception, as examples. And he’ll tell

a fantastic intimate show of original music featuring two friends and collaborators who have been working and playing together for over a decade. It’ll be a fun, heartful performance.

Leah Wilson: Artist’s Talk

Leah Wilson is thrilled to return to her home town of Kimberley as exhibitor at Center 64 Art Gallery through the month of September with the incredibly talented Howlin’ Dan, and looks forward to presenting her artists talk at the upcoming special event celebrating BC Arts and Culture Days (Sunday September 28th, 2pm-4pm) Leah’s part of the talk will focus on her style of art (called Color Field Painting) sharing

perience can be if we allow our eyes to see the details deeper down. Leah will discuss briefly how particulate matter inspires her, how quantum concepts constantly push her brush around a canvas, and how gratifying it is to see someone try to touch a painting as though there is real life depth to experience instead being only a visual piece for the eye and mind to explore. Leah looks forward to celebrating BC Arts and Culture Week in Kimberley B.C., and honored to be a presenter during this exciting event. She hopes to see you there and looks forward to mingling with everyone at Center 64 - 28th of September.

the meaning behind a bunch of the tantalizing details and explain the piece in it’s whole and parts. As well he’ll touch on intuitive

the complex nature of the layering technique used to achieve the overall effect of her work. She will be bringing examples of color field paintings in different stages of completion to demonstrate and explain the process. Like how different layers with textures and under-layers of strong color combinations can effect the final work in surprising ways. “What’s the Matter” Art Exhibition at Center 64 for September 2014, is an exhibit created to inspire conversation through art on how we take apart and reconstruct our world around us on a visual level of perception. Leah’s paintings show how the parts seen are more than what is found on the surface, and how engaging and exciting the visual ex-

painting - a way of improvising in art and important part of Dan’s artistic process - as taught by Ted Wallace who will also be there.

Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program

What is that smoke?

Cranbrook: If weather conditions are right this week, crews from B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch will conduct two low-intensity, prescribed burns for the Rocky Mountain Trench Ecosystem Restoration Program. One prescribed burn being conducted for ecosystem restoration purposes will occur on Bare Mountain and is located seven kilometres south of the Kikomun-Koocanusa bridge on the east side of Koocanusa res-

ervoir. The burn area is proposed as two separate burns for a total of 241 hectares. The other prescribed burn being conducted for ecosystem restoration purposes will occur on Artesian Pasture and is located just south of McGinty Lake near Meadowbrook. The proposed burn area is 387 hectares. Historically, the forest in the Rocky Mountain Trench was renewed through frequent, low-intensity ground fires. Such fires removed the shrubby understory and created a relatively open forest with large, healthy trees. The exclusion of fire from the landscape over recent decades has increased the fuels that contribute to the

risk of more intense and damaging fires, and reduced the amount of open grasslands in the Rocky Mountain Trench. Combined with other factors, the resulting forest ingrowth has caused an overall deterioration in wildlife habitat, cattle forage and forest values. Crews are waiting for a ‘burn window’—when temperature, humidity and wind conspire to create safe and effective conditions. Every effort is made to ensure smoke levels are tolerable, burns are safe and the treatment is effective. For more information on these prescribed burns, please visit trench-er.com.

Fall Jazz Series - Neville Bowman Trio Friday concert at Centre 64 kicks off Jazz Series C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Fall Jazz Series continues at Centre 64 this Friday evening with the Neville Bowman Trio with guest Kinga Hemming in concert. The concert will be cabaret style, in the dance studio, so guests can enjoy a glass of wine while listening to the show. “It’s a very intimate setting,” said Keith Nichols from the Kimberley Arts Council. “We found in last year’s jazz series that those concerts were most popular with the audience.” Nichols says the Neville Bowman Trio should put on a great show. “Neville is a renowned pianist, he’s opened at the Vancou-

This will be entertaining, with great arrangements, good old tunes and some originals.” If you are new to jazz, this concert would be a great introduction, Nichols says. “We’ve had success with female jazz vocalists in the past,” he said. “My favourite within the Neville Bowman brings his jazz trio to Centre 64 jazz genre is female Friday. vocal jazz — artists like Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall. Jazz with vocalists is more understandable.” Tickets are available in advance at Centre 64 for $24 or at the door for $26.

Bush to run for council From page 1 “If elected it will be my intention to focus exclusively on municipal politics for the next four years”, he said. “Besides, I think I’m a little too independent minded for Party politics. You can be sure of one thing however. As important as it is for the Mayor and Council to work together as a team I will never hesitate to speak my mind on the issues.” Bush feels one of the biggest issues facing Council is how to control the rising level

of municipal taxes. “I understand the pressures our community faces regarding deteriorating infrastructure and a limited tax base but the citizens of Kimberley and in particular our seniors, are quickly reaching the point of taxation saturation. If you are living on a modest fixed income with perhaps a pension cola of one or two per cent yet local taxes are rising four or five per cent a year, it’s unsustainable and that’s not right. “We can’t continue

to tax and spend, something has to change. Mayor and Council face difficult spending decisions in the years ahead and I want to be part of that discussion. We need to build a community we can all afford to live in.” Bush has lived in Kimberley for 18 years and has always been active in the community, first as a founding member of Kimberley Search and Rescue, then as a director at the Food Bank and later as Chair of the Kimberley Affordable Housing Committee.

was driving down a backcountry road, into the mountains, with my old pails of mercury in the back of my pickup. They were taking up too much space in the shed, so we were getting rid of them. Suddenly my wife spoke up. “You know, they are having that toxic waste round-up at the transfer station today,” she said. “We could have just taken this stuff there.” “Look,” I shouted. “We’ve already talked about this. You expect us to drive all the way to the transfer station, pay all that money?” “But the toxic waste round-up is free,” my wife said. “And right in town. Instead, we’re driving all these miles out to where we dumped our old airstream trailer. Remember how hard it was to get it off the road into the woods?” “We’ve been over this,” I shouted. “The RDEK wants us to take our trash to their site, to separate our recycling according to how they want it. No glass with paper! What’s with that! “That’s just Communism!” I shouted. “All right, all right, calm down,” my wife said. We got to the spot where we’d dumped our airstream the year before. I was going to put the jugs of mercury into the trailer, but I was getting tired, so I just dumped them beside the road. “The heck with it,” I said. “It almost seems a shame,” my wife said. “This is such a pretty place.” “Listen,” I shouted. “I’ve told you this a thousand times! This is our backcountry! We developed this backcountry, we defended this backcountry! You think the

government’s going to tell what we can’t do with this backcountry? This is our backcountry!” I shouted again. “All right, all right, calm down,” my wife said. Two days later, we drove up into the Cranbrook Community Forest with a big load of garbage — seven bags, which I’d been hanging onto a little too long, because the City only picks up three bags at a time. This still made me really angry. “How dare they!” I shouted. “I pay my taxes in Cranbrook! I pay my taxes in the RDEK! Now they tell me they’re not going to pick up all the garbage!” I’d already written letters to various elected officials, but these were ignored. This, of course, made me crazy. “How dare they!” I shouted. “I think,” my wife said, “that it’s illegal to dump garbage in the Community Forest. Besides, it’s such a pretty place. And the transfer station is just right there.” “You think I’m waiting in line? You think I’m going to wait there in line, with all this stinking garbage?” I shouted. “Like some socialistic serf?” “All right, all right, calm down,” my wife said. I pulled over and threw the rotting bags of garbage into the trees of the Community Forest. I still had all my old fluorescent light bulbs in the back of the truck, that I hadn’t known what to do with, so I threw them out too. They made a satisfying smashing sound. The next weekend, I made my wife help me load our barrel of PCBs, that we’d been saving in case of an emergency. It was taking up too much space in the shed. “We don’t have much gas,” I said. “We’ll

just go a little ways out of town. Maybe Elizabeth Lake.” “You know there are companies, here in town, that will take this extremely toxic waste off our hands, so that it doesn’t pollute,” she said. “How many times do I gotta tell you!” I shouted. “So you think it’s okay to take my toxic waste and not pay me a dime? And then they’re gonna turn around and make money off my toxic waste? You think that’s fair! No way!” “All right, all right, calm down,” my wife said. I pulled over to the roadside so I could shake my finger at her. “That’s what’s wrong with society today!” I shouted. A few days later, I loaded up all that old ordinance I’d been saving — my unexploded second world war bomb, my box of hand grenades, and the small sidewinder missile I’d bought on EBay. I’d been waiting for it to appreciate in value, but it was taking up too much space in the basement. We loaded it into the truck and drove off — Community Forest again, up behind the golf course. I brought tools in case I had to jimmy a barrier or cut through a fence. “It seems a shame,” my wife said, “that with the Canadian military begging even the war museum for spare parts …” “We’ve been over this already!” I shouted … Editor’s Note: The above is a work of fiction. The narrator in no way approves of illegal dumping, and in fact is appalled that someone such as the above would do such a foul thing.

Pet degrees

Opinion/features Letters to the Editor

It never ceases to amaze me that when temperatures fall a few degrees that people are so naive as to believe that it is safe to leave pets or children in vehicles with all the windows closed tightly. For example, several days ago, around 11 a.m., with temperatures hovering in the low twenties, I witnessed a lady, lock up her car, ensuring all the windows were closed and leave a small dog in her car while she went into the grocery store to shop. I caught up to her and very politely asked if she realized she had left her pet with all the car windows closed? Her reply, “it’s okay, it’s cool enough. I won’t be long!” I challenge this lady and other like -minded people to sit in their car with ev-

erything closed up tightly, in the full sun at those temps, for fifteen or twenty minutes and afterward tell me that they feel fine or that it was not uncomfortably hot. Come on people use your loafs, take proper precautions before we have to witness/or hear of another senseless death, a death which could have easily been prevented! T. Byrne Cranbrook

Fought between 17-25 September 1944, Operation Market Garden was an over-ambitious plan hatched by British Field-Marshal Bernard Montgomery (aka “Monty”) to punch a hole through German lines in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, establish a bridgehead across the Rhine River via massive airborne paratrooper assaults, and drive headlong to Berlin along a seemingly open path, capturing Germany’s vital Ruhr industrial centre en route. It didn’t happen that way. Montgomery, ever the self-absorbed egotistical go-getter (on par with US General George Patton), had much reason to believe in the plan’s success. Following the Allied invasion of Normandy (“DDay;” 6 June 1944) and the breakout of the Normandy bridgehead, the combat-weary German panzergrenadier divisions were routed in the battle of the Falaise Pocket, which sent the shattered remnants of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS reeling out of France and back into the Low Countries. Over-optimistic Allied intelligence assumed that Hitler, also losing alarming ground on both the Russian and Italian fronts, his industrial output disrupted by unstoppable Allied bombing campaigns, unable to supply his forces with adequate oil, ammunition, and reinforcements, would also be unable to regroup the Wehrmacht in Holland and stop Montgomery’s promise: that the war would be over by Christmas 1944. Montgomery did not reckon with the combined tactical genius of no less than three of Hitler’s most brilliant commanders: Gerd von Rundstedt, admired by friend and foe alike for his quick cunning; Walther Model, nicknamed “Hitler’s Fireman” for his counterattacking skills; and Kurt Student, grand architect of paratrooper concepts (proven with the Axis capture of Crete). All three men were rushed to Holland to collect the shattered Axis forces and anticipate Montgomery’s next move. All three had spent the previous 18 months bitterly rethinking a vast war that had turned against Hitler, and learning to hold their ground with their backs to the wall, undermanned and undersupplied. And there they awaited the Allies. Operation Market Garden’s main objec-

British troops in combat during Operation Market Garden. tives called for circumventing the German “Siegfried Line” defensive wall by a massive air-drop of over 40,000 British and American paratroopers, who would capture a series of strategic canal/river bridges around the Dutch cities of Arnhem, Nijmegen and Eindhoven; combined Allied armored and infantry divisions would then pierce deep into the Dutch countryside to the German border. Despite initial successes after the first air-drops, the reorganized and re-disciplined Wehrmacht infantry battalions delivered devastating counter-blows which startled and surprised the Allied High Command; soon, the Allied airborne units were trapped within scattered, unconnected drop-zone pockets with seemingly no way out. After several days of vicious, confused fighting, the frustrated Montgomery grimly admitted that Market Garden was unviable, and ordered a tactical withdrawal of his 1st Airborne Division … but how? Enter the Canadians. The 20th & 23rd Field Company of the Royal Canadian Engineers (initially assigned within Market Garden’s formations to capture the bridges and disarm potential German demolition attempts), the only British Commonwealth units trained in the use of the motorized stormboats used to cross the canals, braved murderous German fire to ferry trapped companies of the British 1st Airborne Division out of the failing drop-zone pockets. Major Michael Tucker and Lieutenant Russell Kennedy (both of whom commanded the withdrawal efforts) deserve as much

File

remembrance for their efforts to salvage heroism from defeat — as much as Lt-Colonel John Frost (whose name adorns the Rhine bridge at Arnhem). British Empire thinking of the time (and that of Cornelius Ryan, author of “A Bridge Too Far”) has downplayed (and downright ignored) the Canadian contribution to Operation Market Garden; had the Allied planning been better, it is certain the Canadian forces would have performed as outstanding as they did throughout autumn 1944 and beyond; Canadian troops are still admired today for their leading role in the liberation of the Netherlands (and the famine relief for the downtrodden Dutch civilians starving under Nazi rule). The aftermath of Operation Market Garden (144 aircraft lost, 88 armored vehicles destroyed, and over 17,000 casualties — in five days) was solid, sober proof that the Nazis were far from beaten. This would be proven again in the weeks and months to come, with horrific fighting through the Huertgen Forest and the Ardennes Offensive (the “Battle of the Bulge”). Solid coordination between the Allied units took angry months to straighten out; not until March 1945 was the Rhine River finally crossed for real and the western drive into Nazi Germany begun in earnest. Due to the agonizing delay, the capture of Berlin went to the Russians, and the resulting post-war tensions between distrustful allies stained the world until the end of the 1980s. The Canadians were there when the Allies went a bridge too far. Lest we forget.

Avalanche of fresh talent College of the Rockies women’s volleyball full of new faces; ready for redemption Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The College of the Rockies Avalanche women’s volleyball team is ready to put a disappointing 2013-14 campaign in the past as they prepare to hit the court for their first action of the fall. The Avalanche host the Lethbridge College Kodiaks, SAIT Trojans and Ambrose University Lions in pre-season tournament play beginning Friday at College of the Rockies. “This year we’ve got the offense, now it’s about putting the defence in to make it all click together,” said Avalanche women’s volleyball coach Andrew Zurrin following practice Tuesday night at College of the Rockies. “Last year, we were lacking offensive finish and a little bit of defence. We solved two big problems of setting and libero [in the off-season] so those are huge upgrades.” Competing in the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PACWEST), the Avalanche finished outside the top six in the province and missed out on the 2014 volleyball championships. The Avalanche will put forth a refreshed,

young roster in 2014-15, with nine first year players on the squad, including Cranbrook’s Alyssa Rundberg (left side/libero). The rookies will be thrown right into the mix Friday when the Avalanche face the Kodiaks at 11 a.m. in the tournament opener. “It’s about getting all the rookies game time, getting them past the jitters,” Zurrin said. “Seeing the college level, seeing the bigger players and getting them past that [fear] so they can see it and say, ‘I can play this level.’ They can. Now they have to see it. Exhibition is huge for that. “The vets, I’m not even worried about. They’re probably going to play 30 per cent of the time. The rookies are playing 70 [per cent].” With five veteran players on the squad, Zurrin is confident he has the right mix to get his team back into the conversation. The contingent of returners includes Cranbrook’s own Allison Pepper (middle), winner of the 2014 Avalanche Award, 2014 Most Improved Player Madison Hudy (middle) and Kelsey Thompson (left side), 2014 team MVP and Best Offensive Player.

“We’ve got a really strong team coming in [to the season],” said Hudy, a graduate of Bishop Carroll High School in Calgary. “[We’ve got] a lot of new players but a lot of players who are determined and want to play strong out there. “If we stick together as one team as opposed to being individuals [on the court], we’re going to find a lot of success.” The veteran strength doesn’t end with Pepper, Hudy and Thompson. Jayden Roch (right side) returns for her second season with the Avalanche after claiming Rookie of the Year honours in 2014. Corissa Mildenberger (left/right side) rounds out the group. Apart from Rundberg, Kara Froese (middle) is the only other newcomer from B.C., joining the Avalanche from Abbotsford. The rest of the rookies hail from Alberta. Ashleigh Noel (setter), Makenzie Morey (left side/libero) and Taylor Forster (middle) come to Cranbrook via Calgary. Caity Rook (Cochrane), Alexa Koshman (Lethbridge), Kendra Hainsworth (Sylvan Lake) and Ari Benwell (Okotoks) round out the freshman crew.

“Just show them what I would do on the court or help them if they have questions,” Thompson said in regards to helping the younger group transition into the college game. “[The biggest challenge] is going to be playing consistent through all our matches…Passing and defence is what we need to work on [in order to find that consistency].” Zurrin’s group has been practicing since the last week of August in preparation for this weekend. “We practice four times a week and I believe in doing a lot of learning and changing on the athletes,” Zurrin said. “Whatever [knowledge] you came in with, that’s your base. Now we’re going to add a lot of things to make you a college-level player.” The Avalanche hit the court twice Friday, including a 7:30 p.m. primetime ticket against the Ambrose University Lions, before closing out round-robin play at 11 a.m. Saturday morning against the SAIT Trojans. PACWEST play begins Oct. 23 when the Avalanche travel to the Lower Mainland to face the Columbia Bible College Bearcats.

Hold on, hockey fans

Thursday, September 25, 2014

Sports

Our game isn’t as perfect as you want to believe

Taylor Rocca In the world of North American sport, there isn’t one particular professional pursuit that doesn’t come with its baggage. The National Football League is rife with domestic violence charges, substance abuse problems and more. Ray Rice, Josh Gordon and even the memory of recently deceased former NFLer Rob Bironas was tarnished with a dark side. Major League Baseball, America’s national pastime, is still embattled with the scars of the so-called “Steroid Era.” Ryan Braun was once the poster boy for the new clean era of MLB until he too joined the likes of Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa and Jose Canseco. Last season, the National Basketball Association was picked apart by the regrettable racial remarks made by Donald Sterling, former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. Meanwhile, hockey fans sit and point fingers at the atrocities committed by those connected to the other major North American sports, while failing to realize the follies within their own game. In the darkness of night, racism’s ugly head reared itself high Tuesday evening after both the Vancouver Province and Vancouver Sun published a photo of Vancouver Canucks’ prospect Jordan Subban, accompanied by a cutline identifying the 19-year-old defenceman as the “dark guy in the middle.” The cutline was removed, but not before outraged hockey fans, journalists and editors could express their disappointment. Early Wednesday, both Vancouver dailies tweeted their apologies.

“The Province regrets an insensitive description of Canuck Jordan Subban in a photo caption on our website last night,” The Province communicated through two tweets. “We apologize to Subban, the Canucks and their fans for any offence. We are examining our process to ensure it can never happen again.” “Last night we ran a photo caption that should never have been written, let alone run online. We apologize to @jordansubban,” The Sun communicated through two tweets. “The Sun is looking into this so we can make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Subban had scored his first NHL goal during pre-season play Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the NHL hopeful was instead answering questions about the photo caption Wednesday morning. He played off the incident with class, telling The Province’s Ben Kuzma that “it seemed like a pretty honest mistake.” The unfortunate reality is racism still exists within the world of Canada’s national pastime — on the ice, in the stands, and in the world surrounding it. You might argue this isn’t a problem the National Hockey League should be worried about, rather an issue for The Province and The Sun to take care of. The sad state of reality is it is indicative of a problem within the game we all should be concerned with. During the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Boston Bruins. Throughout that series, Habs rearguard P.K. Subban (Jordan Subban’s older brother) was hit with a wave of racist remarks via social media channels such as Twitter. During the 2011 NHL pre-season, a fan threw a banana at Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds. In his playing days, current Philadelphia Flyers head coach Craig Berube was suspended for one game after he called former Florida Panthers forward Peter Worrell a “monkey.”

Those are just a few examples of the heavy discriminatory baggage weighing down the world of the National Hockey League. Racism and discrimination have absolutely no place within our society, let alone within Canada’s beautiful game. I would like to believe we, as a society, have made significant strides when it comes to the acceptance of everyone we share this world with, regardless of size, shape, skin colour, sexual orientation or other uniquely identifying characteristic. As much as the National Hockey League is the custodian for the professional game of hockey in North America, each one of us holds care-taking responsibilities for the game as well. Just as players develop their skills and abilities at the grassroots level, the attitudes and culture of the sport are polished there too, by both fans and players. As fans of the game, we have a responsibility to help abolish the existence of this atrocious behaviour within our sport. No matter how heated the competition, no matter how high the stakes, and regardless of the depth of your fandom, it is on all of us to eradicate discrimination from hockey, and all facets of society. One day, we will wake up to a sports story celebrating a player scoring his first National Hockey League goal, rather than a story of outrage at the inconsiderate and thoughtless racial actions surrounding it. Jordan Subban, I hope you remember your first National Hockey League goal for what it was — a great accomplishment representative of the years of blood, sweat and tears given to the game of hockey — and not for what was being talked about around hockey circles and newsrooms today. Though I don’t expect North American professional sport to ever truly rid itself of all it carries, I do dream of a day where racism and discrimination are no longer found within that baggage.

Cranbrook Women’s Rec Hockey League returns Julia Br annigan

Going fast and hitting stuff makes me feel good. I don’t do it driving my kids to school or navigating the aisles at Safeway but weaving down a sheet of ice with a puck on my stick and shoving my way to the net gives me a buzz. Playing in the Cranbrook Women’s Rec Hockey League I get my adrenalin fix once or

twice a week all winter long. It keeps me sane, fit and in-touch with great women who support each other on-ice and off. Along with league games, there’s opportunity for tournament play... And entrance into a unique world filled with the thrill of competition, belly crunching laughs and rowdy nights

on the town. One of my favourite tourneys is a December Whitefish trip. It’s the perfect opportunity for a pre-Christmas Costco run, and a great place to let off steam. Any women wanting to play hockey and/or have a great time can register at the Player’s Bench or email Jean at gterpsma@gmail.com for more information.

Hurricanes J. Staal breaks leg in pre-season John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Carolina Hurricanes centre Jordan Staal broke his lower right leg in a preseason game at Buffalo Tuesday night, general manager Ron Francis said. Staal returned to Raleigh, N.C. with the team Wednesday and will be evaluated by team doctors today. Francis said he didn’t have a timetable for Staal’s recovery. Staal had initial tests taken immediately fol-

lowing the injury. “I’m concerned for sure. He’s a big piece of what we’re going to do moving forward,’’ new coach Bill Peters said before learning of the severity of the injury. Staal was hurt on an innocent play with 6:35 left in the third period. He was skating up the right boards inside the Sabres zone when he was checked by D Josh Gorges. Staal fell to the ice and lay on his side before play was stopped. A trainer attended to

Staal, who needed help to get up. He was unable to put any weight on his leg while being escorted off the ice. About 20 minutes after the game, Staal was on crutches with his right leg elevated as he made his way to the locker room. Staal is a solid twoway player who is entering his third season in Carolina. He is a fourtime 20-goal scorer, and finished fifth among Hurricanes last season with 40 points.

Strategies for proper pruning

Is old man winter giving you the draft? Seal him out with

Fall pruning can stimulate growth in plants preparing for winter dormancy, threatening their ability to return next spring and summer. As the leaves fall off the trees and greenery thins out for the season, exposing branches and undergrowth along the way, homeowners may be tempted to prune their trees and shrubs. But while autumn pruning may seem like a good idea, many gardening experts say it is often best for homeowners to wait until winter or early spring before pruning. Although pruning does thin out branches and tame spent blooms, which can be eyesores, pruning also stimulates new growth. Pruning in the autumn, when plants are naturally preparing to go dormant, can weaken the plants considerably. This can compromise their chances of surviving into the next growing season. Fall temperatures also can be deceiving. While it may be warm during the day when the sun is shining, temperatures can quickly drop overnight. Pruning during the warmth of day, when the sap has risen in the plants, may deplete energy from the plant. When the mercury drops at night, the plant can suffer.

If you must spend time in the yard in the fall, tend to the leaves and debris that have already fallen to the ground rather than focusing energy on fall pruning. If you have been diligent during the spring and summer, your shrubs and other plants likely won’t need pruning at this time of year.

Chances are you won’t prune too much as well, as chilly temperatures will keep you from spending too much time outdoors. When it’s time to prune, consider these other pointers. * Keep tools clean and in good working order. You risk injury if your tools are dull and in poor shape overall. Spend time sharpening pruners and keep manual tools oiled and clean. Debris can lodge itself in clippers, making it more difficult to open and shut them. Wash and dry tools after use, especially when dealing

Do not prune when plants are wet. Pruning damp plants encourages the growth of microbes that can infiltrate the plant. This is not as significant a problem in the winter, when microbes have already been killed.

* Ask an expert. If you are unsure of how and when to prune particular plants, consult with an expert at a nursery or wherever you buy your plants.

The miracle on the wall: Part II B r e n da B a b i n s k i

Early one Sunday morning in Nately, Nova Scotia — a town too small for a movie theater — the inhabitants awake to find that their small town has just been blessed with a major tourist attraction. A miraculous image appears on the side of the local Tim Horton’s coffee shop and this seemingly heaven sent sign is greeted by a colorful cast of characters whose reactions run the gamut from blind faith to wry cynicism. Written by Canadian playwright Josh MacDonald and directed by Hamber Award winner, Terry Miller, Halo delves into the nature of hope, religion, blind faith and human relationships. Playing selected dates from October 10 to 25 at the Studio, Stage Door, Halo is a richly written look at small town life. Casey, (Alexa LaingMoore) is a disgruntled Tim Horton’s employee who is suddenly faced with an onslaught of sightseers, all eager for

Sightseers are agog and akimbo at the strange sights of “Halo.” a glimpse of the “miracle”. Her newly devout boyfriend Jansen (David Webb) tries to convince her of the sanctity of the event while her friend and local priest, JJ (Jerrod Bondy) senses there is more to the “miracle” than meets the eye. A humorous parade of visitors (played by Peter Schalk and Hannah van der Roest in multiple madcap roles) attend the Tim Hortons “miracle”. Meanwhile

across town a man sits vigil at his youngest daughter’s side. Donald McMullin (Bob McCue) and his older daughter Lizzie (Zoe Dupley) face hope, heartbreak and a potential miracle of their own. Be sure to catch this funny and moving account of small town life, hope, faith and miracles at the Studio Stage Door, October 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24 & 25. Tickets available at Lotus Books.

Ninth Annual

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone could compare you to lightning: nearly impossible to stop, with flashes of great ideas. A partner or friend could have a problem dealing with your sparkle and energy. Be gracious about any negative comments. Tonight: Be sensitive to a loved one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others often expect a lot from you, whether or not you are willing to give it. Your caring could move a personal matter past a problem and help the other party realize that the situation might not be as bad as he or she believes it to be. Tonight: Pace yourself, but make time for the gym. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your imagination could go to extremes as you attempt to infuse a situation with a little more fun and creativity. Understand what is happening with a child or loved one. This person really thrives with your attention, support and caring.

Tonight: Pretend that it’s the weekend. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Staying close to home might not be as pleasant as you would like. It is likely that someone you need to respond to will demand your feedback, if not your presence. Curb a tendency to go overboard with spending. Tonight: Happiest at home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your personality will come out in a presentation or when having a discussion with a loved one. You will be more open to unexpected solutions than to traditional ones. Make sure to return all calls. Tonight: You can be found wherever the action is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Sometimes you underestimate how much you have to offer. You could feel as if no one is listening to you. Just because you do not receive the rousing response you desire, it does not mean that you were not heard. Have patience, please. Tonight: Your treat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Avoid being scattered at all

Tundra

costs. You might need to place limits on a situation that could irk you or cause you a problem. Your friends will be a major distraction, but one that you will appreciate. Say “yes” to the moment. Tonight: Just don’t be alone! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be inordinately tired, as all the happenings around you could drain you far more than you realize. Try not to overreact. In fact, pull back if you suspect you are withered! Go for a walk, and handle important matters later. Tonight: Make tonight just for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to use some of your high energy to help a child or loved one who could be off-kilter. You seem to find solutions where others cannot. Be direct in how you deal with a loved one. Spontaneity is the only path. Tonight: Out and about. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of your limits when dealing with a boss, friend or older relative. You could be

taken aback by this person’s requests. Someone close, perhaps a family member, will chime right in and make a situation better than it has been. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take an overview, and understand where others are coming from. Otherwise, what you see happening will make little to no sense. You might just decide to cut off a conversation with a difficult person. Tonight: Have a leisurely visit with a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will get a better sense of where someone else is coming from. You could discover that a loved one simply might be reacting to you. Laughter will energize both of you and allow more fun. Count your change carefully. Tonight: Go with someone else’s choice.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for four years. We were high school sweethearts. We were both briefly married to other people before reuniting, and my husband has a child from his first marriage. My husband was raised by his grandparents, but when he was a teenager, he was introduced to his father and moved in with Dad, his new wife and their child. They had a close relationship, but it seems over now. It has been six months since we have seen or heard from my in-laws, even though they live in the same city. They often visit their other son, who lives a mile away, but they never come to see us. They say we are welcome anytime, but never phone, text or invite us to family gatherings. My husband works out of town a lot, and I feel awkward showing up at their home without him. Also a little disturbing is that they remain close with my husband’s ex-wife, which is great for my stepson. But if they can put so much effort into having a relationship with her (and her boyfriend), why not their own son? Should we address this issue or let it be? -- Feeling Ousted by In-Laws Dear Ousted: The issue should be addressed, but not by you. Your husband should speak up and ask his parents what’s going on. It could be that the ex-wife has asked them to limit contact as a condition of seeing their grandson. Or perhaps your mother-in-law is closer to her biological child than she is to your husband and leaves it to Dad to keep in touch -- and Dad is not particularly good at it. If so, it may help for you to make the greater effort to cozy up to your mother-in-law and develop a friendlier relationship. But as always in such cases, there’s only so much you can do without some effort from the other side. Dear Annie: I am part of a ladies book club. Each of us is responsible on a rotating basis for the meal and facilitating the discussion. We have a lot of fun and have read some very interesting books. The problem is that two of the members take turns hosting at the same house. This house is absolutely filthy and seems to get worse every time. The bathrooms smell like urine, there is no hand soap, the furniture is covered in dust and dog hair, and the trashcans are overflowing. Because they both host there, we are forced to endure the conditions twice as often. We no longer want to attend meetings there. The ladies in our club are not snobs, but the rest of us make some effort to offer a comfortable environment for our meetings. We don’t want to make dishonest excuses, and we don’t want to hurt their feelings by telling them, but we also don’t want to eat food prepared in filth. What can we do? -- Southern Bookworm Dear Bookworm: Because you aren’t willing to tell them you are uncomfortable eating in that house, we suggest you have every meeting at the same neutral location -- perhaps a restaurant or coffee shop. Some bookstores and libraries allow you to host such events, and you can check out other locations, as well. Meals do not have to be served. It may not be as intimate, but it solves the problem. Dear Annie: I think “Salem, Ore.,” had a wonderful idea to stop giving them Christmas gifts. When my grandparents became advanced in years, I could see that they didn’t need anything, but I still wanted to give them gifts. I found the perfect solution. I’d bake them Christmas cookies after Thanksgiving but before Christmas. That way, they could enjoy the festive season and have treats when visitors came. They were very grateful and would return the empty container, which I’d refill the following year. -- Nancy Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

Roger was born on August 10th, 1939 at the Cranbrook St. Eugene Hospital to parents Louis and Helen. He married the love of his life and high school sweetheart Ann in 1963 and together they shared the next fifty one years. He is survived by his wife Ann, children Debbie (Mike), Rick, Lynn (Shane), Brian (Deb); grandchildren Chris, Stephanie, Lindsey, Madison, Owen, Conrad, Megan, Allison, Jordan, Stephen, Hailey, Kristian, and Brok; brothers Larry (Susan), Reg (Denyse). Roger was a devoted husband, a dedicated father and was truly an inspiration to those who knew him. He was a man of few words, endless wisdom, and was always quick to lend a hand. He led a full life while enjoying the time with his family and friends, his cabin at the lake, and being an avid outdoorsman. He was a â€˜Jack of all tradesâ€™, mastering them all while raising his family in the home he built. Roger retired in 1996 after dedicating 38 years to BC Tel. At Rogerâ€™s request, there will be no funeral service. A Celebration of Life gathering for friends and family will take place from 2pm-4pm on Saturday, September 27th, 2014. Please join us at the Manual Training Room attached to the Cranbrook Public Library, 1212 2nd St. South (across from the old Central School) In lieu of flowers, those wishing to remember him may do so by making a donation to the Tom Baker Cancer Center in Calgary, AB (http://albertacancer.ca/Tom-Baker-CancerCentre).

250-349-5306 Strong outlook for daily newspapers

mart newspapers today recognize they can run a very protable business by providing relevant, entertaining and innovative ideas and content. “Let’s not miss the point, either”, says Bill McDonald, group publisher of Metro English Canada. “Maybe there are some trends in place that show some declines in some areas. But newspapers still deliver a massive audience in every city across the country. That’s not changing. The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day. There’s no other medium with that kind of reach in one day.” In fact, threequarters of Canadians (13.9 million) read a printed edition of daily newspaper each week, according to NADbank readership data. “Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. “Daily newspapers offer the same benets they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizeable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.” “Major pubishers and media buyers agree— strong readership gures are testament to improved product.

The primary goal of children’s sport programming is that each child should have so much fun that they can’t wait to play again next season! Learn how you can now help children.
