COURTESY EXTREME HUNTRESS

Kimberley’s Nikita Dalke (second from left) is in the thick of things, as the reality TV show “Extreme Huntress” kicked off with Episode One this week. Dalke is joined by Christie Pisani (Australia), Margaret Botha (South Africa), Kasi Geraci (USA), Erika Bergmark (Sweden) and Amanda Caldwell (USA). All competing for the title of Extreme Huntress. Filmed as a competition at a ranch in Dallas over the summer, contestants must complete challenges each episode and garner support from viewers through online voting. Dalke, a resident of Kimberley, was chosen to compete in the competition after submitting an essay and garnering enough online support to be a top-six finalist. See story, Page 3.

Commission studying BC electoral boundaries TRE VOR CR AWLEY

People seem happy with the status quo when it comes to the Kootenay East riding boundary. The B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission heard only a couple presentations on Tuesday night at St. Eugene, with residents seemingly content with the current size and scope of the riding. The commission, chaired by Justice Tom Melnick, is currently touring through the province to meet with British Columbians and assess any concerns with riding boundaries. Once the commission finishes touring every riding in B.C., it will submit a preliminary report to the legislature in May. “So what we’ve heard a number

of people say is they’re pleased that the legislation has created protected areas,” said Keith Archer, one of the commissioners. “Some have come and said to us that ‘We don’t want you to reduce the number of electoral districts in this area.’ “So part of the process is to make sure they understand the terms of reference of our group and the fact that the government has already passed legislation ensuring there are going to be four electoral districts in this region.” Having started in the northern part of the province, the commission has heard feedback regarding challenges of effective representation in large geographic ridings.

Cardozo declares for Council BARRY COULTER

After years of community involvement in Cranbrook, and a past year of exciting personal growth, Danielle Cardozo has made the decision to seek a seat on Cranbrook City Council in the upcoming municipal election November 15. Cardozo, who made it to the top 10 of this year’s MasterChef Canada reality show, is running on a platform of economic and infrastructure growth. “While I hope that residents of Cranbrook will use my appearance on MasterChef Canada to identify that I am particularly ambitious and dedicated to representing Cranbrook with integrity, I

hope that they’ll take the opportunity to recognize that my true passion lies in community and economic development,” Cardozo said in a press release. “As I run for Council, I would like residents to know that my focus will be on economic development, as a means to support local business, infrastructure growth, and decreased taxes.” Cardozo currently works as Business Development Coordinator with St. Mary’s Band and the band’s Development Corporation, Aq’am Community Enterprises. She has also served as Employment Development Officer with the Ktunaxa Nation. CHAD ST. PIERRE PHOTO

John Reischman and the Jaybirds play Cranbrook Oct. 18 Barry Coulter

An old friend is returning to Cranbrook next week. And as always, the music should be stellar. John Reischman and

the Jaybirds, provide an elegant but hard-driving bluegrass sound that blends the traditional and the progressive. And they love playing the Cranbrook-Kimberley area. “It’s our favourite place to play — or at least one of the top three,” Reischman told the Townsman in an interview this week. “Early in our first days, that’s one of the first places we came to play, and we got a really warm reception. We’ve liked coming back ever since.” Besides Reischman on mandolin, the Jaybirds are made up of Jim Nunally on guitar, Greg Spatz on fiddle, Trisha Gagnon on bass and Nick Hornbuckle on banjo. Together they cover a vast amount of territory, musically and geographically, with individual bases in Seattle, Spokane, California and British Columbia — an all-Cascadia lineup. Reischman says their far-flung nature is no obstacle to playing

said. “But it’s the right combination of people, so that the challenges are overcome by the fact that we feel comfortable playing music with each other, and being on the road together is very easy. “It’s going on 15 years, and it still feels good and fresh whenever we get together.” Fifteen years with the Jaybirds’ original lineup. Does one develop and intuition, or telepathy, with playing with the same people over a length of time? “To a certain extent, you get used to what people are going to do, when you work up stuff, and you can do stuff spontaneously, without really having to say anything about it,” Reischman said. “Everyone’s really familiar with everyone else’s playing at this point. But I have to say that from the first time that combination got together, it felt comfortable, it felt good.” Originally from northern California, Reischman knew and had played with Jim Nunally, and in fact got him in to play and co-produce Reischman’s solo album “Up in the Woods.” “The band really started after I had moved to Canada,” Reischman said. “We started in 1999, in order to promote ‘Up in the Woods.’ I had met Nick Hornbuckle in Seattle, I really loved his playing, and he’s on that record. And I was familiar with Trisha’s playing, from a band she had with her

sister called Tumbleweed, and I ended up playing some casual gigs here and there with her and Chris Stevens, who’s a great B.C. based bluegrass musician. “And then I knew Greg Spatz from when I lived in California as well. I never really set out to form a full-time band, but I wanted to promote that record, so I booked some shows with essentially the same band but without Jim. So after the band started going, Jim joined about a year later.” The Jaybirds have been touring Europe and North America for years. They’ve released five acclaimed albums and been nominated for Juno and Canadian Folk Music Awards. When it comes to bluegrass, the Jaybirds present a mix of the firmly traditional and the original. This is much like the bluegrass genre itself, which though rooted in tradition, is also a product of experimentation and innovation. “When Bill Monroe (credited with creating bluegrass in the 1940s) started, he was an innovator,” Reischman said. “He took traditional music but combined it into a new thing. It was radical compared to the typical old-time music you would hear at the time. “So there are bands working to give a more progressive treatment to their sounds, and others who stick strictly to the way it was laid out by Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe and the Stanley

Brothers. “I really love the traditional sound, but we — the band — are contributing our own take on it by our own originals. They’re not influenced by Rock and Roll so much, but they’re original and they’re new.” Bass, guitar, fiddle, banjo and mandolin is the expressive instrumental bluegrass lineup. Reischsman’s own instrument provides scorching leads and driving rhythm. “The mandolin is there because Bill Monroe was a mandolin player,” he said. “It’s a great lead instrument because it’s tuned like a fiddle so it play all the fiddle tunes very easily. Monroe really developed a whole rhythmic side to it — playing on beats two and four in four-four time, so the bass would play and one and three and the mandolin plays between those. That’s the essential rhythm of bluegrass — and the banjo adds to it with the eighth notes and the fiddle does. “But the rhythmic drive that the mandolin can provide is really something. There are players like Sam Bush whose one of my favourite players — he’s developed it even more, to have more of a rock sensibility. It’s a great instrument, for bluegrass, obviously, but for other kinds of music.” John Reischman and the Jaybirds play the Key City Theatre Saturday, Oct. 18. Showtime is at 7:30 p.m.

Nikita Dalke begins Huntress journey Tre vor Cr awley

It’s safe to say Nikita Dalke is pretty good with a gun. The Kimberley resident is showing off her skills to the world as “Extreme Huntress”, a reality TV competition that is now hitting the airwaves after filming this summer in Texas. Dalke won her spot in the competition after garnering enough online votes and support following an essay she submitted to Extreme Huntress website. Now Dalke is locked

in a battle with five other contestants from across the world to prove that they deserve the title of Extreme Huntress. The first of 13 episodes aired this past Sunday, which began with the introduction of all the contestants to each other and the competition grounds at 777 Ranch in Hondo, Texas. The ranch, which has an acreage of over 25,000, features all kinds of wildlife including 60 species of exotic and native breeding herds from 80 different countries

across the world. “It’s amazing, it’s gorgeous. A massive property, it’s huge,” said Dalke. “You stay in cabins — they have the main lodge, then they have cabins for everybody to stay in and the cabins are nicer than my house. They’re unreal. Everyone was picked up from the airport and driven to the ranch, where they gathered for introductions. Competing alongside Dalke is Christine Pisani (Australia), Margaret Botha (South Africa), Kasi

City hopes to boost energy savings Energy manager targets Western Financial Place for energy savings, after success at fire hall

planned to put in the lights this year, but they ran into a snag with the province as it was identifying vendors for the product until recently, so the project will likely wait until spring 2015. “We have received some financial grant from BC Hydro of about $40,000 for that. We’ll be pursuing more grants. We’re phasing that project in over three years and we’re just going to do. We might do two phases now in 2015.” One of the first things they had Armstrong as energy manager do was a complete evaluation of the new fire hall to see if there was any energy saving potential at that location. “That was a really nice report that Jay generated there,” Staudt said. “There are some opportunities there, but given that it’s a new fa-

The city is looking to further its efficiencies when it comes to energy use in its many structures and properties. At the Monday, Oct. 6 council meeting, CAO Wayne Staudt gave a rundown of some of the projects that the energy manager is working on to bring about those goals. Last year, the city entered into an agreement with BC Hydro to hire an energy manager and Jay Armstrong was hired for the role. The position is partially funded by BC Hydro and partially by the city. The first project that was identified with significant energy saving potential was changing the street lights to LED lights. CAO Wayne Staudt said the city had

cility, we’re just going to look at those opportunities to see the ones that have a real strong payback — anything that has a payback say in the next year or two we probably will be bringing forth in the 2015 budget for council to consider.” Armstrong finished the fire hall upgrades and has now moved to Western Financial Place. Staudt said that’s where the bulk of the city’s energy use comes from. Annual energy costs for hydro and natural gas are about $1.5 million a year. “You can see at the back there that 26 per cent of our energy costs are at Western Financial Place,” Staudt said, indicating an attachment in the administration update. The next largest is the waste water project

at the spray irrigation, amounting to 19 per cent of energy costs. Armstrong will move onto after the current project. Staudt said city administration wanted to give council an update on the city’s current energy department and would do another early next year when the new council is sitting. Armstrong attended the 109th International District Energy Conference. In the report, Armstrong noted that on a small scale, neighbouring buildings can be tied into a common heating/ cooling plant to gain efficiencies. On a large scale, entire corridors could be set up made capable for private and public connection to efficient systems with flexible options for renewable energy. He said it also adds motivation to rejuvenate aging civil infrastructure.

“It was nerve-wracking,” said Dalke. “When you talk to them on the computer or online, it was more intimidating, but once you meet them, it’s completely different. “They’re all a bunch of sweethearts, they’re just incredible people.” The worldwide background of all the competitors make it a diverse group, Dalke added. “It was neat to hear how they speak, the different languages, their slang, and them talking about back at home and how they hunt and the animals they have there was a huge learning experience,” she said. After introductions, the group was given their gear, all of which was the same from clothing to binoculars to their guns — a Mossberg 4X4 bolt action that shoots a .270 calibre.

“It’s a nice gun. I shoot a .270 at home so I was excited when I was told that our calibre was a .270,” Dalke said. That factored into their first official challenge, which featured a competition where they had to put five bullets into a target at 100 yards in under two minutes. The second round was the same, except the time limit was bumped down to one minute. “I just approached it like I go shooting at home. I just focused, breathe, make sure I got a stable rest,” Dalke said. “The two-minute round wasn’t bad at all. There was no nerves or nothing like that. Once they knocked it down to a minute, the adrenaline kicks in a little bit. Dalke won the first round with the highest score that included bonus points for the tightest grouping. How-

ever, Botha, who had a strong first round, came back to win the second round, earning the extra bonus points for having the tightest grouping to take the challenge, with Dalke as the runner up. “It feels like you don’t have a lot of time, but a minute — if you stay calm and everything goes smoothly in the loading and the unloading — then the minute was a good amount of time to get it off, but if you had the slightest bit of issue, you were pushing it,” Dalke said. The next episode, which will be released on Sunday, will have the ladies out on the ranch for their first all-access hunt. After each episode is broadcast, people can cast their vote by heading to www.extremehuntress.com and vote via an email submission. One vote per person is allowed each episode.

“My experience in these positions has allowed me to work with multiple local businesses and resource industries; learn about local and provincial tendering policies and procedures; study and apply innovative business models; and implement employment strategies based on current labour market trends.” Cardozo says economic growth should be the number one focus in Cranbrook. “It’s almost impossible to have infrastructure growth without an income beyond a tax base, especially on a shrinking tax base,” she said. “Cranbrook needs councillors who understand new generation business models that can support family owned businesses and encourage growth in our local market.”

Cardozo added that Cranbrook Council should know how to and be willing to support responsible economic growth, to increase the local tax base and decrease tax rates. “This is what will encourage new residents, new doctors, and new industries to relocate in our community; a community that values and supports its residents,” Cardozo said. “I know that these are qualities that I can bring to Council.” Cardozo also said councillors need to understand provincial and municipal processes — such as those under the Trade, Investment, Labour Mobility Agreement — to be able to support local contractors in how to competitively bid on municipally and provincially regulated projects, like the cur-

rent hospital expansion. “The province has stated that since 2001, $67 Million has gone to expansion and upgrades at the East Kootenay Regional hospital. This work should have been done by local contractors. This money should have stayed in Cranbrook.” Cardozo’s ultimate goal is to support current local businesses and increase the number of new locally owned businesses. “I support growth in Cranbrook, but I understand that residents want to see growth, without losing community values that can be lost when growth occurs too quickly. By focusing on supporting entrepreneurs to use innovative business models, such as localized low-cost, new generation cooperative, and one-off experiences; we

can build local economy internally.” Cardozo says she is on side with her fellow candidates in that she wants to see increased infrastructure sustainability and growth. “By implementing strong economic development strategies, we can bring in the financial resources to then support infrastructure such as roads and sewers.” She added that new infrastructure strategies are essential. “It is critical that we take the current 15-year infrastructure plan, and reduce it to a 10 year plan. By reducing the plan to a 10year plan, we free up five years to focus on growth, rather than simply maintenance.” Cardozo values Cranbrook, the community she grew up in and where she has chosen to raise her children. “My recent television appearance gave me a great deal of opportunity to leave Cranbrook, and pursue a career outside of the Kootenays. But I do not want to leave the place I love; the place that my children and I call home.”

Home Hardware in Cranbrook will be adding the role of Art Gallery to its purposes this weekend, hosting an art show and sale by Cynthia Fox. Fox, from Peterborough, Ontario, was invited to hold an art show and sale at Home Hardware by Dawn Torgerson, Cynthia’s sister-inlaw and co-owner of Home Hardware in Cranbrook. Paul Fox, Cynthia’s husband and Dawn’s brother, says that they were in Cranbrook from Ontario for a Thanksgiving family reunion. Cynthia was just coming off a very successful art show in Ontario, and Torgerson thought that her show would prove to be successful in Cranbrook, and would appeal to Cranbrook residents.

Ron McRae to run again for Mayor C AROLYN GRANT

Mayor Ron McRae ended speculation about his political intentions Wednesday, when he formally announced that he would see a third term. It was something of an open secret that McRae would run again. “If people asked me directly, I have always responded that I fully intended to run again,” said McRae. “Embarking on an election campaign changes things and it was my intention to continue to focus on the business of the City for as long as possible. I’m privileged to have had the honour to work together with this community to shape its future. With the community’s continued trust, I will remain committed to being a part of Kimberley’s leadership.” McRae believes Kimberley is headed in the right direction and points to a renewed sense of vibrancy around town. “I have spoken with many business owners who have reported best-ever seasons this past year and there is no doubt that great things are happening here. It hasn’t been easy. We’ve had to work incredibly hard to transition the community from a mining-based economy to a more progressive and diverse economy.” McRae urged citizens that they take the time to vote in order to ensure that they continue to play a role in shaping Kimberley’s future.

Commission reviewing electoral boundaries Continued from page 1

“We hear from a lot of people, they sense the huge geography of this province and how difficult it is for MLAs, but on the other side of the coin, people who want to access their MLAs, to get together and discuss concerns,” said Beverley Busson, another commissioner. “We’re alive to that issue as well.” The Columbia-Kootenay region is mandated to have four electoral areas, which consist of the Kootenay East and West ridings, Columbia River-Revelstoke and Nelson-Creston.

There were four presenters to the commission, each voicing concerns mainly in support of the status quo. Doug Clovechok spoke regarding the Columbia River-Revelstoke boundary, while Sharon Cross, Gary Werk and Jenny Byford added their thoughts to the Kootenay East boundary. “I would say if there’s one comment that has been the prevalent comment throughout the areas that we’ve visited is that people are pretty satisfied with the configuration of their electoral

Report calls for younger voters C an a d ia n Press

Registering voters as young as 16 for a B.C. election is one of three major recommendations the province’s chief electoral officer has made to law makers. Keith Archer says in his report to legislators released Tuesday that the voting age would remain at 18 but dropping the registration age would allow electoral officials to work with schools and driver-licensing programs. He says the lowest voter-registration rates are for people between the ages of 18 and 24. Archer’s recommendations for improving accessibility and efficiency call for a pilot program that would test new voting technologies for the disabled, although he says law makers should move slowly on Internet voting. District electoral officers should also be able to hold advance voting opportunities for limited hours, because Archer says some rural areas don’t have the population to justify a four-day advance polling period. The document that makes a number of

districts as they exist at the moment,” said Archer. “A lot of our conversations have been tweaking areas rather than wholesale change.” An example would be Byford’s concern that residents in Bull River are sending kids to school in Cranbrook— under the jurisdiction of Kootenay East—while residents are voting for provincial representation in the Columbia River-Revelstoke riding. Others, such as Werk, advocated keeping the status quo, while Cross voiced her concerns against any amendments that would take away local rural representation in Victoria. “The other interesting thing that we’ve heard a number of people say is we understand the boundaries commission can recommend two additional electoral districts,” said Archer. “Many people seem to support that idea and they also support the idea of those

All eyes on exponential Ebola

ere are two good things about the Ebola virus. It is unlikely to mutate into a version that can spread through the air, as some other viruses have done. And people who have been infected by Ebola cannot pass it on to others during the incubation period (between two and 21 days). Only when they develop detectable symptoms, notably fever, do they become infectious to others, and only by the transfer of bodily fluids. Here are three bad things about Ebola. The “bodily fluids” that can transmit it include even the tiniest droplet of sweat: just the slightest touch can pass the virus on. The death rate for those who become infected is 70 per cent. And the US government’s Centers for Disease Control warned recently that we could have 1.4 million cases of Ebola by January. Since the number of known cases so far is only around 7,500, that suggests that the number of new cases is doubling approximately every two weeks. This is called exponential growth: not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 … but 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 … If you put one grain of wheat on the first square of a chess-board, two on the second, and keep doubling the grains every square, there are not enough grains of wheat in the world to get you to the 64th square. Exponential growth always slows down eventually, but the question is when? A vaccine would slow it down, and the British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline already has one under development, but it is still in an early stage of testing. Human volunteers are now being given the vaccine to check for unforeseen side effects. If no serious side-effects are found, the vaccine will then be given to health work-

ers in West Africa. A process that normally takes years is being compressed into mere months, and 10,000 doses of the vaccine are already being produced (for the health workers). But it will be the end of the year before we know if it actually gives a useful degree of protection from the virus. If it does, then millions of doses would have to be produced and injected into the people of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, where Ebola is already an epidemic — or tens of millions of doses if the disease Gwynne has spread by then to more populous countries like Dyer Ivory Coast, Ghana or, worst of all, Nigeria, which has 175 million people. Until and unless a vaccine becomes available in very large quantities, the only way to stop the exponential spread of Ebola in the affected countries is to isolate the victims, a task that is very difficult in mostly rural countries with minimal medical facilities. Liberia with 4.2 million people, had only 51 doctors and 978 nurses and midwives at the start of the crisis, and some of those have already died or fled. You don’t need to find and isolate everybody who gets the disease to break the exponential pattern. Just isolating 75 per cent of them as soon as they become infectious would drastically slow the spread. But at the moment, in the three most affected countries, only an estimated 18 percent of the victims are being taken to treatment centres (where, of course, most of them will die). This is why the most important intervention so far has been the dispatch of 3,000 US troops to Liberia, with the primary job of creating 17 large tent hospitals and training 500 nurses to work in them. Britain is providing 200 new hospital beds

in its former colony of Sierra Leone, with 500 more in the next few months. Cuba has sent 165 health workers, China has sent 60, and France has sent various teams to help its former colony, Guinea. But with the exception of the American aid to Liberia, it is all woefully inadequate. Nine months after the first case of Ebola was confirmed in Guinea, we are still playing catch-up, and playing it badly. Why is that? Aren’t the developed countries also at risk if the virus continues to spread? Well, no, or at least their governments don’t think so. Even without a vaccine, they are confident that their health services can find and isolate any infected people quickly and prevent Ebola from becoming an epidemic in their countries. They are probably right, and so they see the limited help they are sending to West Africa as charity rather than a vital self-interest. But they may be wrong. As Professor Peter Piot, who first identified the Ebola virus in 1976, said in a recent interview with Der Spiegel, “I am more worried about the many people from India who work in trade or industry in West Africa. It would only take one of them to become infected, travel to India during the virus’s incubation period to visit relatives, and then, once he becomes sick, go to a public hospital. “Doctors and nurses in India often don’t wear protective gloves. They would immediately become infected and spread the virus.” Then you would have Ebola on the loose in a country of more than a billion people, millions of whom travel abroad each year. All hope of confining the disease to Africa and driving it back down to almost nothing, as was done in previous outbreaks, would be gone. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Mustn’t let the legend die What’s Up? In spite of my feeble efforts at humour, the doctors and staff at East Kootenay Regional Hospital ‘emergency’ were efficient and pleasant. Thank you.

is difficult to find out if it might still work, even if it ever worked at all. In fact, several of the medical professionals that I have consulted on the topic have either poo-poohed the idea, laughed out loud or sent me off for psychiatric assessment. But, as a child, I was brought up by kindly parents who, having no Dr Spock to consult, apparently, sometimes referred to nursery rhymes or ‘old wyves’ tales’ when dealing with my or my sister’s various wounds or ailments. My dear mother, I swear, told me that, when I fell over and cut my head in a paddling pool at Herne Bay, a sea-side resort, she would patch me up the way Jack did when he and his sister Jill fell down that hill with that fabled bucket of water. ‘He went to bed’, I recall, ‘to mend his head with vinegar and brown paper.’ I have no recollection of my mother soaking brown paper in vinegar and wrapping my infant head in it, she must have resorted to something else. However, just recently, when my son

dropped a longish two-by-six accidentally — he claimed — on my balding ‘bonce’ and then hauled me, protesting loudly, off to ‘emergency’, I just had to ask. But firstly, with the blood oozing into my baseball cap, I was forced to answer some sort of quiz about myself, including the one: are you of aboriginal stock? Brightly, wiping the blood from my ear, I told the young lady in reception that I was ipso facto an English aboriginal. This was stretching the truth a tad because, about a thousand years ago, my forebears invaded from Denmark and bullied the local Anglo-SaxPeter ons (who themselves were what you’d label aborigWarland not inal folk) a bit. Anyway, after being passed from pillar to post, being sat down with boring magazines and having a chat with a fellow who insisted on telling me all about his various hunting injuries, I was interviewed by a diminutive and very pretty medical student called — No! I’d better not. She too had not yet heard about the vinegar and brown paper treatment, but she did have a few more years training to endure. After consulting with an older (but wiser, I hope) female doctor, who incidentally tried to fool me with trick questions, to see, I guess, if the wound had sent me ‘bonkers’, then went away herself confused, it

was decided that my hideous wound was to be stapled. Now, I’ve done a fair amount of stapling myself, paper-work in school, wood-work when building sets for plays, and into my own hand on one memorable occasion, so I was ready for the pounding and the pain. Stoic, that’s me. At one time the medical student shoved a monstrous great needle into my arm and injected something to cure tetanus or, more probably, to shut me up. I regaled her with the tale of my lining up bare-chested in a snow-storm with a few dozen Royal Air Force enlistees in order to be inoculated, and watching the left-handed ones march in backwards. My son, the potential murderer, meanwhile hung around the place and, when the medics had finished with me, or had enough of my nonsense, he wandered in, took a photograph of my wound, then drove me, bloodied but unbowed, back in order to finish the job we’d been doing. When, at last at alone, I wrote to my daughter to tell her about the incident. She replied immediately that she’d seen the ghastly wound on Facebook and that the photographer had wittily written, ‘We mustn’t let the legend die’. She then added that I and her brother should stop fooling around or she’d come up from The Coast and straighten us up; that was one terrible threat.

Thanksgiving: No one is an island

A nastas ia Bartl e t t

s a child, I don’t recall Thanksgiving being overly special, we just ate more. At school, the walls displayed rainbow-tailed turkeys, black hats, silver buckles, and a regular cornucopia of paper fruits and vegetables to which we added black cats and jack ‘o lanterns a week later (I was thankful for Halloween, especially the candy). We learned about American pilgrims, I think, because they had such a defining one-time back story for their Thanksgiving. It wasn’t until I was older, that I discovered the rich history of Canadian Thanksgiving. In 1578, Martin Frobisher and his crew celebrated a thanksgiving service to God for bringing them home after another failed attempt to discover the Northwest Passage. In 1604 Samuel de Champlain and the Order of Good Cheer regularly thanked God for surviving another Canadian winter. National Thanksgiving celebrations in Canada commemorated many things; the end of wars, recovery of a monarch and of course, the harvest. It wasn’t until 1957 that a fixed day of Thanksgiving was set; the second Monday in October. Canadian Thanksgiving evolved out of religious traditions. Giving thanks to God is something the churches still do. For instance, every Sunday in the Orthodox church we celebrate the Eucharist, which literally means ‘Thanksgiving’. Every Sunday, we thank God for Christ’s

resurrection, an event which reunites us with God and with each other. Every Sunday, as I look around the sanctuary, I know each and every person there is a valuable member of the Christ’s resurrected body; the church. Since I am also a member, every person, every part of Christ’s body has directly influenced me in some manner. As I pondered this, I realized, it wasn’t just the church but every single person with whom I’ve had any type of contact have all helped shape me into who I am today. If nothing else, the Orthodox Church has taught me the value of community. I used to think I could live as an individual and be wholly responsible for who I was, who I am and who I will be. I realize now, I am not an isolated individual. Every person with whom I have come into contact has infected me with a portion of who they are while, I, in turn, have infected them with me. I am, in some way, connected to every single person on this planet whether for good or for ill. If I had ever fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a hermit with no contact with any other person whatsoever, I never would have grown as much I have now. If somehow, I could have eliminated all books, radio, TV, internet, shopping for supplies or anything made by someone else like clothing, cookware, tools, I would have stagnated. Every person around me gives me a reason to be thankful, not just once a year but every day, every hour, every minute, every second.

Letters to the Editor

We have shaped and influenced each other teaching us about ourselves and that is something to give thanks for. Thanks for my parents who gave me birth and looked after me and taught me how to think. Thanks for my younger sisters who made my anger visible. Thanks for all the friends and adversaries I had growing up who taught me loyalty, frustration and forgiveness. Thanks for the sexist boss who angered me to no end, but taught me to trust myself. Thanks for the telemarketer who reveals the thin veneer of patience over my irritation. Thanks for the stranger who smiles at me on the street, lifting my spirits a little. Thanks for the husband who, more than anyone shows me who I am yet still loves me despite it all. Thanks for the children who took the knowledge I gave them, built on it and in turn, teach me. This weekend, I will look around the table and be thankful for every person there. I will be thankful for those thousands of miles away and those who have fallen asleep. I will try to hug someone every day, to phone someone weekly and to pray always. To quote that great sea-going philosopher; “I yam what I yam” because of them and for that I am thankful. Anastasia Bartlett is an Orthodox Christian attending St. Aidan’s in Cranbrook

Hoflin’s heroics, dangerous Descheneau can’t save Ice Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

When your starting goaltender makes 42 saves and your most dangerous goal-scorer has a four-point night, you expect your team to be on the winning end of a hockey game. Kootenay Ice netminder Wyatt Hoflin turned in a miraculous 42-save performance after being peppered by 47 shots from the Regina Pats. RW Jaedon Descheneau scored three goals of the highlight-reel variety and set up one more. Yet, somehow, the Kootenay Ice fell to the Regina Pats 5-4 Wednesday night. “[Wyatt] and Jaedon were our two best players tonight and it obviously wasn’t enough,” said Kootenay Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson over the phone following the loss. “I thought those two guys deserved a better fate than they got. “We allowed way too many shots and our discipline wasn’t good tonight. By the end of the game, we were close to 50 shots [against]. You’re not going to win many games allowing 50 shots against.” After a back-andforth game, Pats forward Adams Brooks tallied his second goal of the night with 1:52 remain-

Red Deer Rebels to host 2016 Memorial Cup GREG MEACHEM Red Deer Advocate

owner/president/GM/ head coach, whose club was chosen by the WHL board of governors as the host of the 2016 Memorial Cup, with the vote going in the Rebels’ favour over the Vancouver Giants and their owner Ron Toigo. Alberta last hosted the Memorial Cup in 1974 at the Calgary Corral. “It’s a historical day for the city of Red Deer, the province of Alberta and the WHL, for that matter, for bringing the Memorial Cup to Alberta for the first time since

CALGARY — If you don’t succeed, try, try again. Brent Sutter placed a bid with the Western Hockey League to host the 2001 Memorial Cup tournament and was rebuffed in favour of Regina. He threw his hat into the ring three years ago in hopes of staging the 2013 event and lost out to Saskatoon. On Wednesday, it was third time lucky for the Red Deer Rebels

way beyond the city of Red Deer. It will be a provincial celebration. We’re very fortunate that Brent and his organization put forward a very successful bid and we also want to thank Ron Toigo and the Giants for their bid. “We had two quality bids and at the end of the day the league board of governors have chosen Red Deer to host in 2016.” After thanking everyone involved in making his Memorial Cup bid a successful one, Sutter insisted that he didn’t hold any grudges regarding the 2011 vote (for the 2013 Memorial Cup) that went in Saskatoon’s favour despite the widespread notion that the winning city’s larger facility and potential to generate more revenues to be shared among league teams were the deciding factors.

“I don’t think we were bitter, we were disappointed,” he said. “You never now what’s going to happen when you get into a situation like this. Saskatoon had a great bid back in 2011 and the governors chose them at that time, but we showed the resiliency to stay with it and not lose our focus and purpose about giving the city and the province what they deserve, and that’s to host the Memorial Cup. “And that’s what we did — we kept our focus on it and are obviously very pleased and we want to thank the board of governors in our league for giving us this opportunity in 2016.” Asked if the 40 years between now and the last Alberta-hosted Memorial Cup — and the gap will be 42 years in 2016 — was a major factor in the voting, Sutter seemed almost incredulous. But just for a second.

“Yes, it’s been a long time, and to be honest it’s truly hard to believe,” he said. “But that’s over with now. Now it comes back to the province of Alberta. It’s the most prestigious amateur hockey event and for the city and our organization and the province, for it to come back here after 42 years is outstanding. We have a lot of people to thank, including the city and provincial governments and our host committee.” The Memorial Cup is a 10-day event that includes a host of off-ice activities, most of which will be held at the Westerner buildings adjoined to or near the Centrium. “It’s not just about the games, which of course are huge, but we also want to have an event that will attract all kinds of people,” said Sutter, who’s not worried about bringing in enough volunteers to keep everything on track.

“The biggest thing is we can only have so many volunteers and our committee is going to be very big,” he noted. “We’ll have it at the level we’ll need, because we know we’re going to have a tremendous amount of support, not just in Red Deer but from throughout Central Alberta and the entire province.” In essence, the Rebels’ successful pursuit of the Memorial Cup tournament is a reward to a fan base that has dwindled somewhat over the past 10 years but still remains among the league’s best. “Any event like this rewards your loyal fans. We have a great fan base in Red Deer that has been tremendously supportive since the team came into existence,” said Sutter. “I know that since I bought the team back in 1999 the fan support has been fantastic.”

Canucks double up Flames DONNA SPENCER Canadian Press

CALGARY — Radim Vrbata scored the eventual winner for the Vancouver Canucks in a 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames Wednesday. Vrbata’s goal at 11:07 of the second period was initially waived off as a high-stick, but he was given the goal after review. Alex Burrows and Zack Kassian also scored and captain Henrik Sedin added an empty-netter for the Canucks, who extended their winning streak against Calgary to eight in a row. Paul Byron and Jiri Hudler replied for the Flames. The season-open-

er for both Calgary and Vancouver at Scotiabank Saddledome featured two teams attempting to climb out of the bottom of the league standings. The Canucks finished 25th and the Flames 27th among the 30 teams last season. Their starting goaltenders signed as free agents on July 1 and made their debuts for their respective teams. Ryan Miller stopped 23 of 25 shots for the win, while Jonas Hiller turned away 30 of 33 in his first game in a Flames jersey. Willie Desjardins won his first regular-season game as Vancou-

ver’s head coach. He replaced John Tortorella who was sacked after just one season. Hudler pulled the host Flames within a goal at 13:19 of the second period when he blasted a drop pass from linemate Sean Monahan past Miller. Vrbata batted the puck out of the air past Hiller to pad the visitors’ lead to 3-1 at 11:07. The Canucks signed the Czech forward to a two-year contract in the off-season to play the right wing on a line with Henrik and Daniel Sedin. Vrbata had three goals in the pre-season.

your beloved defenceman was beaten by three steps, had no angle and no choice but to trip up his opponent, therefore taking away a legitimate and clear-cut scoring chance on a wide-open breakaway. A new perspective. A new view. An opportunity to see exactly what the zebra sees, revealing to you he did make the right call and you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. As much as this is a great opportunity to defend officials and prove to fans refs are competent sheriffs, there is a flip side and that is the only part that worries me. Officials will now be under a greater microscope than ever before. When you can see exactly what the referee sees and he does something wrong, you have the record to prove his error. Ultimately, this should be a good thing and one can hope it helps increase the performance of officials who can now go back and look at exactly what they saw, or didn’t see. Kind of like a team looking at game tape to figure out why the power play didn’t work, the referee can go back to his footage when he missed a goal that was instead awarded by video review. At the end of the day, the zebra cam is a win-win-win for fans, the league and officials. The only loss comes in the aesthetics category, because man, do those things look bulky and gross perched atop the referee’s bucket. Maybe Rogers could strike a deal with Google to develop some sort of camera visor instead?

Newfoundland: Wasn’t that a party? A

Carla Nelson of Maritime Travels describes the charms of Canada’s most easterly city — St. John’s — and its surroundings

couple weeks ago, I travelled to Newfoundland. To make Canada complete, I wanted to visit Canada’s 10th province. Now I have been to every province and territory in Canada. What a fantastic and diverse country we live in! But back to Newfoundland. My quick visit there only makes me want to go back for a much longer visit. Fascinating place, and yes, everything you hear about the people is correct – friendly, helpful, musical and fun-loving – and a little hard to understand! St. John’s is on the Avalon Peninsula and is Canada’s most easterly city, with a population of approximately 200,000. The city was named after John Cabot who arrived there in 1497. It became the 10th province of Canada in 1949, after a controversial almost 50/50 vote. Newfoundland has the foggiest, windiest, cloudiest weather, but curiously, the mildest winters outside of BC due to the position of the Gulf Stream. It is also famous for some other events. Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in St. John’s from England in 1901. St. John’s was the starting point for the first nonstop transatlantic flight in 1919. Known for cod fishing, this industry basically collapsed in the 1990’s when the government placed a moratori-

um on the fishery. Huge unemployment resulted and depopulation. Offshore oil was discovered and now the oil industry is the major employer in Newfoundland. Offshore oil fields, such as Hibernia, Terra Nova and White Rose, have contributed to an economic boom, as well as employment for many residents in Fort McMurray. The city of St. John’s is pretty, with colourful ‘jellybean’ heritage rowhouses and businesses on the two main downtown streets, Water St. and Duckworth St. Shops, restaurants and pubs abound. And the famous George St. is known for its lively nightlife. A short but energetic street of pubs and nightclubs with bands playing in every one! Go before 9 p.m. to avoid the cover charge and standing room only. When you are in Newfoundland, you must try some of the local delicacies. Cod tongues, lightly battered and fried, served with scrunchions (diced salted port fat fried til crispy hard); toutons, fried leftover bread dough, drizzled with molasses, often served for breakfast; codfish cakes; snow crab; and fish chowder – the best I have ever tasted! A short hike from the city is Signal Hill (named for Marconi’s signal), where you can have a great view of the city, as well as visit old

CRANBROOK CRANBROOK

The colourful city of St. John’s, Newfoundland. and new lighthouses, and the Cabot Tower. A short distance from the city you can visit the very pretty Petty Harbour, a quaint but still productive fishing village. A bit further out and you will

find Cape Spear, Canada’s most easterly land point. In the summer season, this is the place for whale watching, puffin spotting, and iceberg viewing. Well, it was a short trip, but ap-

parently I must go back – I didn’t get ‘screeched in’! Look it up...it’s a must so they say! For more information, call Carla Nelson, Branch Manager, Maritime Travel, 250.789.4788, Cranbrook.

Chris Botterill is the owner and GM of Genex Marketing, a digital marketing firm that relocated from Vancouver to Cranbrook, BC in 2009. While Chris specializes in digital branding and marketing, he is also no stranger to the opportunities and pitfalls that many businesses are confronted with when it comes to marketing in a small town. Chris has owned and operated entertainment, retail and service based businesses over the past 16 years and has toured North America as a seminar speaker for one of the largest online marketing companies in the world. When Chris moved his business from Metro Vancouver to Cranbrook he had every intention of continuing business as usual, focusing efforts on growing his national client base through his virtual business model. But this plan was interrupted by the discovery of a completely different way of doing business and marketing in a small town. Within 5 years of relocating, Genex Marketing went from a business that was sustained purely on model that count on national clients, to a business that now relies on the local market to drive over 65% of its business. With a new attitude and tactic to digital marketing and marketing a business in a small town, Chris is excited to share many new tips and tricks that blend traditional marketing strategies with cutting edge digital strategies that help businesses maximize their exposure abroad and develop quality relationships in the small towns they serve. Chris won’t be holding anything back in the upcoming speaker series where he will be exploring the topic of marketing your business in a small town. Topics will include things such as “basic grass roots and digital marketing strategies” to “tips on using social media in a small town” to “proper business etiquette when dealing with local competition”.

Fire Prevention Week

SMOKEALARMS • Almost three of five (60%) of reported home fire deaths in 2007 to 2011 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. • Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half. • In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated 93% of the time, while battery powered alarms operated only 79% of the time. • When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected, or dead. • An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, or where extra time is needed, to awaken or assist others, both types of alarms, or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms are recommended.

October 5 - 11, 2014 Every Second Can Mean The Difference Between Life And Death This ‘Fire Prevention Week’ please take some time to go over your fire escape plan at home with your family, check both your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and make sure your fire extinguisher is in good working order.

NEWS/FEATURES It happened this week in Cranbrook For the Week of October 5 - 11

Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1898 The Last Spike … Van Horne will be visiting Cranbrook. The rails are laid to Lake Kootenay. The iron on the Crows Nest Pass road now extends from Lethbridge, Alt., to the Kootenay Lake in West Kootenay, a distance of 360 miles. On the 17th of July of last year the first work was done on the road at Lethbridge. Last night, October 5, the last spike was driven at the lake. Loud Shirts … The guests at the Cranbrook Hotel wondered at the noise about the building day and night all last week. It was a peculiar, persistent, unremitting disturbance that seemed strange and unusual. Finally an investigation was instituted, and it resulted in the discovery of McMillan and Frith wearing shirts that could be heard to Fort Steele and Moyie.

The guests are thankful this week that the shirts are in the wash. Break In … Some miscreant broke into the Wardner Hotel the other night, making an entrance through a dining room window. He left his boots in the dining room and made his way upstairs, and when discovered was creeping into the room occupied by Miss Jagger. Her screams aroused her mother who came to her assistance, and the intruder rushed by them and escaped, leaving his boots behind. They form a clue that will probably lead to the arrest of the party.

one of the fuse and that the other shots went off before they had a chance to get out of the way. The bodies were found by E. Wergin, a mucker, who was going on shift. They were about fifty feet back from the face of the drift. Another Globe Trotter … M.K. Creelman, of Prudo, N.S., arrived in Cranbrook Wednesday night on his way around the world on his bicycle. He left Prudo on May 11, and came by the way of Chicago, St. Paul, Winnipeg and the Crows Nest pass route. He is making fair time and is in good health. He expects to reach Paris in time to attend the exposition next year

1899 Killed by Blast … James Mills and Charles Craine, two miners, were killed by a blast in the No. 1 tunnel of the Lake Shore Mine, Moyie, Tuesday evening at about 11 o’clock. Mills and Craine had put in a round of holes and were ready to shoot, preparatory to going off shift. It is supposed they had difficulty in “spitting”

1900 “Just Before Dawn” … “Just Before Dawn” was presented at the hall last Friday night. The company had action and there were many good shots in the cast. In consequence, before the last act, quite a number of struggling miners lay dying on the stage veldt, and the Nemisis of revenge laughed in glee over the terrible

dent … R E. Beattie, W. S Keay, W. W. Doble and Dr. King drove up to St. Marys last Sunday. As Beattie was one of the crowd, and being a professional hoodo so far as runaways are concerned, the usual accident occurred, and he and Doble were compelled to walk about four miles before they found the rest of the party and the other team.

1901 Baptist Church Opening ... On Sunday next the new Baptist Church of this city will be formally opened. Services will be held as follows: Eleven a. m., sermon by Rev. P. H. McEwen. Three p.m., platform meeting, addresses by Rev. Fortune, Bowering and former pastor, Rev. D. Holford. Half past seven, sermon by Rev. F. W. Annache, pastor elect. A cordial invitation is extended to all. Small Birth … “I understand there is a Small increase in the population of Cranbrook,” said a gentleman to E. H. Small the other day. “Well, about 13 pounds,” was the reply. And a man standing near, said, “What are those crazy guys talking about?”

1902 Put on Hold …The Marysville smelter will not be built this year. The machinery is being housed, the men discharged and everything closed up for the season. Last Wednesday word went out that no agreement had been reached, and that in consequence all work would cease and everything shut down until next summer. It was a hard blow to people who had invested all they had in Marysville, depending upon work continuing this fall until the smelter was ready to blow in. Many of them had invested in the town upon the understanding that there would be no unnecessary delay and now they will have to make the best of it.

Sunrise Gobblers of the East Kootenay: Part II FJ Hurtak

As I alluded to in part one of this article last week, here in the East Kootenay we have the Merriam’s turkey, one of about 12 different species of wild turkeys in North America. The Merriam’s got kickstarted in the Creston Valley around 35 years ago when a few nomads made their way into B.C. from Northern Idaho. In 1989, Creston had enough turkeys to allow an LEH season and 30 permits were issued for toms only. Then 25 years ago, some birds were transplanted from Creston to the East Kootenay and the rest is history, as the saying goes. The Merriam’s turkey is a very challenging and sporting bird to hunt, and the mating ritual begins in late February or early March in most areas, and by the time the spring hunting season rolls around in the middle of April, they are already going strong. The toms puff their feathers and strut around, gobbling loudly in an effort to attract prospective mates. What really adds to the excitement of hunting them is the ability to call them into close range. At this time of year gobblers can be enticed to betray their location by using crow, owl, hawk, coyote, or another gobbler call. Once their location is pinpointed you can close the gap and begin some seductive hen calling. One of the mistakes that hunters sometimes make is attempting to get too close to a Merriam’s gobbler. Merriam’s don’t seem to mind

travelling long distances to come to a call, whereas other species can be more reluctant. After countless errors on my part, I have now formulated a rule of thumb. If the turkey appears to be moving forward and consistently changing his calling location I stay put. Merriam’s turkeys have absolutely incredible eyesight and just one mistake of moving unnecessarily can end the hunt immediately. However, if after a period of calling and getting responses, if the gobbler appears to be staying in a fixed location then I will try and close the gap between us. It is here that it gets risky, because the less distance you have to travel to set up again the better it is, especially if you are using decoys as part of your calling strategy. That means more movement on the hunter’s part, but if a turkey is not moving it is sometimes worth the gamble. This past spring I did about five or six days of scouting before the season began and I had located two different flocks in separate areas. I decided on the closer of the two for the first day of the hunt, so opening morning I was already making my way in the dark to a spot where I could try some ‘locator’ calling. The morning was cool and clear and I was about to take my pack off when I heard what I thought was a gobble a few hundred yards away. I knelt down and waited for about 2-3 minutes and it was then that I heard not

one gobble, but two back to back. In the pre-dawn I closed the distance to what was probably a couple of hundred yards. I was not worried about being seen, as it was just dark enough to warrant almost unlimited movement on my part. At this point, I laid my pack down behind a tree and fumbled for my calls. As I did, I heard several gobbles and I knew the turkey(s) were in a roosting site in the big pines. The terrain they were in would make for very tough pursuit so I knew instinctively that I had no choice but to be patient and see how the situation played out. When daylight finally had won

the battle over darkness I was kneeling inside the branches at the base of a big fir tree and I began calling on my box call. This type of friction call is great for long distances because it has ample volume as opposed to the traditional mouth call. I was fairly aggressive with my calling and received the reward of responses every single time. However, I was somewhat confused at the location of the closest gobbler. I realized quickly after successive answers that there were at least 3 toms answering my calls and they appeared to be moving around. I scoured the dark pines with my binoculars for any sign of movement and then finally away off to my left I saw a turkey make a quick left turn and head into a depression in the landscape. I scratched on my call again with all the volume I could muster, and there was a barrage of gobbles in response coming from an area not more than 75 yards away. I shouldered my ancient single shot 16-gauge shotgun, in anticipation of the birds coming into view. “Be patient, sit tight, sit tight,” I kept muttering to myself. A few minutes passed by and frankly the silence was deafening. I thought for a moment I had blown this set-up somehow, so out of desperation I cranked on my gobbler call followed by three or four soft yelps on the box call. The woods lit up again

with gobbling toms and they were closer now, so I cocked my gun and not a moment too soon. What a sight to behold…several toms crested a small hill, one after the other and began to make their way towards me. One gobbler would sound off and another would follow and blow up to display his wonderfully coloured plumage. I was enjoying it immensely but remembered why I was there. I chose the bird that offered me the best clean shot and my Remington roared, and the bird dropped like a stone, while the others scattered quickly. There is no doubt about it, hunting the wild Merriam›s turkey can be frustrating at times, but when everything comes together as it did for me on opening day, it can be very rewarding, and it’s safe to say addicting, in a good way. The silence, the waiting, the morning chill, and the spine tingling call of a big tom in the distance. It’s what makes the sport of turkey hunting so special. Then there’s the very satisfying feeling of walking out of the woods with a nice tom on your back just as the sun peaks it’s head over the mountains. Priceless!

APPLY NOW, FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR FISH & WILDLIFE PROJECTS

BC Liberals - Kootenay East Riding Association 829

The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) funds fish and wildlife projects in the Columbia region that align with its Action Plans, including the new Upper Kootenay Ecosystem Enhancement Plan.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING REMINDER As a reminder to previously mailed notices, The Annual General Meeting of the BC LIBERALS KOOTENAY EAST RIDING ASSOCIATION will be held on

This new ecosystem enhancement plan will guide fish and wildlife funding in the upper Kootenay River, including Koocanusa Reservoir, and was developed in partnership with Columbia Basin Trust.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 19TH , 2014 TIME: REGISTRATION 6:30 P.M. MEETING BEGINS AT 7:00 P.M. LOCATION: THE HERITAGE INN 803 CRANBROOK St. N. Cranbrook, BC RSVP TO: 250-426-4422 AND LEAVE A MESSAGE

Your idea for a project to conserve and enhance local fish and wildlife may be eligible for funding. If you are applying for funding: •

read our Action Plans, and download funding information and applications at www.fwcp.ca

•

review the Columbia region priorities which include stream, wetland and riparian restoration projects, and projects delivered north of Revelstoke and Golden

•

contact the Program Manager, Trevor Oussoren, at trevor.oussoren@bchydro.com or 250 365 4551 for support to develop your idea or questions regarding your funding application

•

submit your complete funding application and project budget by November 14, 2014

know how a session will be because I strictly channel the answers to the questions my clients give me from my guides. Sometimes loved ones from the other side pop in and sometimes past lives come up and so on. Whatever the information is that is relevant to the client learning something on this plane will be relayed, if they can comprehend what we are talking about. The last question you asked us is: “Please ask your guides what they see if I stay or if I leave?” We don’t understand what you are asking of us. This means of what are you asking us particularly to see? Again my guide just commented while I was writing this letter to you, “We cannot guess and we will not assume what your questions will be.” If you have specific questions about this issue you may email us or make an appointment and we will try to help you. On a personal note: One of your lessons in regards to the relationship with your husband is: You do not use emotional intelligence when relating to this man. This means you talk to him and make decisions based on sheer emotion. Another lesson you need to learn is to be assertive without being caustic with yourself and those around you and particularly when talking to your husband. I hope we have helped you. Wendy For personal and over the phone consultations email Wendy@4262127. Need my guides to answer some of your questions then email me @wevano@shaw.ca or check out

Ninth Annual

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be concerned about your spending, yet on some level, you could feel incapable of changing the situation. Your imagination is likely to encourage you to take a risk. You will want to have a reality check and a sound conversation. Tonight: All smiles. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will want to work through a problem. Someone who is involved could be in your face, and his or her anger might be difficult to handle. Revisit a long-term goal before saying anything. With a fresh perspective, you will see the whole matter differently. Tonight: Be spontaneous. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use your instincts, and do some thinking about the ramification of dealing with an angry person. You might believe that you can handle the situation, but a surprise could be on the way. A parent or older person might be a little too vague for your taste.

Tonight: Not to be found. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to what is being shared by a friend. You could feel uncomfortable expressing exactly what is on your mind. You might not be as sure of yourself as you’d like to be. Don’t worry -- you are surrounded by friends. Tonight: Only where people are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can’t avoid the limelight, and in truth, that doesn’t bother you at all. You were born to be in the spotlight, and you love to be complimented. You could feel awkward when dealing with a new friend’s feelings. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s suggestion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you really care about. You might be overwhelmed by the twists and turns that could come down the path. Detach, and you will have a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Give your mind a treat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds around a person-

Tundra

al situation involving a partner who wants what he or she wants and is unwilling to compromise. You could be hitting your head against the wall, but accept that it is futile to try to change this person’s mind. Accept the situation. Tonight: Out late. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, as they seem to have a different opinion of how things should be done. You might be escaping your feelings through some type of indulgence. Your creativity will come out if you relax. A solution will appear as a result. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are likely to maintain a fairly even pace, which means you could accomplish more than you even thought possible. You also seem to be more easily angered than usual. Be careful when expressing these feelings. Follow your intuition. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be looking for a new idea or a better solution. Allow more creativity to flow. Give up

your need to have everything be logical; rather, go with your intuition, especially trying to resolve what appeared to be an unresolvable issue. Tonight: Play it easy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to go with the moment and get to the bottom of a problem. By saying less and listening more, you will find an answer. You could want to share your impressions before you decide that you’re right. Others’ reactions will tell you a lot more. Tonight: Head home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Return calls and catch up on others’ news. You’ll have a lot to share. At the same time, you might want to make plans for the weekend. Others appreciate your imagination and often want to tap into it for personal as well as professional reasons. Tonight: Hang out with a pal.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: An acquaintance of mine (I’ll call her “Minnie”) drops by our home once a week and stays for several hours. If we offer her a beer, she protests a little bit, but then says, “Well, OK,” and then asks what kind of wine or liquor we have. She somehow makes it seem as though she is doing us a favor by accepting what we offer and then lets us know about the better alcohol she is accustomed to. Our neighbor told us that Minnie does the same thing at her place, always promising to bring something special to reciprocate, but she never does. The neighbor laughs it off, but we feel like suckers. Minnie talks about cutting back on alcohol to lose weight, but it’s obvious she’ll drink if it’s free. Other than not answering the door when Minnie shows up, is there a way to confront her without making her belligerent? We see each other and don’t want hard feelings. -Tired of Sponger Dear Tired: If you don’t want Minnie drinking your booze, stop offering it to her. You can open the door and be polite and friendly but not ask whether she’d like a beer. If she says she’s thirsty, offer her a cool glass of water. You don’t have to confront her at all or create any hard feelings. You simply need to be less accommodating. We suspect after a few such dry visits, she will spend less time knocking on your door. Dear Annie: As the holidays approach, so does gift giving. This is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I am not well off by any means, and my gifts usually consist of thoughtful homemade items. I love seeing the recipients open the gifts, watching their surprise and delight, and knowing they feel special because I have put so much thought into personalizing their present. Here’s the dilemma: Many of my family members are well off, yet I rarely receive gifts from them. I get flimsy excuses instead. I normally say “OK” and brush it off, but after years of this dismissive behavior, I am not sure I can continue to keep giving, giving, giving, especially when it is difficult for me financially. I don’t give presents with the expectation that I will get something in return, but once in a while, I would certainly appreciate feeling the same way my recipients do when opening a gift. I’d like to know what that’s like. Should I stop giving my homemade items to stingy family members and sell them instead? -- Torn in Pennsylvania Dear Torn: Are you certain your family members truly enjoy these presents? Not everyone appreciates a homemade item, and you may be misinterpreting their response. Even so, they should reciprocate in some way for your generosity. You certainly ought to stop giving them personalized gifts that you cannot afford. Either bake some cookies, or use your creativity for a holiday card and stop giving gifts altogether. The choice is yours. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated Mom,” whose daughter is overweight. In my teens, I was 15 pounds overweight, and my mother harped on my eating constantly. But I showed her! By the time I was 67, I was 200 pounds overweight. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and could barely walk. Sixteen months ago, I had gastric bypass surgery and have lost 162 pounds. My surgeon said, “You are a success story.” Never again can I enjoy the sinfully rich food I used to, but my cholesterol, blood pressure and arthritis are under control. I think of food all day. Not because I want it so badly, but because I have to plan my day around it. My stomach is the size of an egg, but I’m healthier, happier, have a new wardrobe and love it when people say I look fabulous. I will live to see my grandkids marry. -- Blessed in California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries John Wayne Trinder November 19, 1940 October 3, 2014 Our beloved Wayne passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family in Kimberley, BC on Friday, October 3, 2014, at the age of 73.

Wayne was born in Kimberley on November 19, 1940, to John and Phyllis Trinder. He married the love of his life Lindis in 1964 and they shared 50 happy years. He was a loving son, husband, father and grandfather, and a loyal friend to many. He was employed by City of Kimberley for 35 years, and he retired in 1995 as Manager of Operations Services. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and outdoorsman, and his passions were nature and wildlife, including wildlife conservation and management. He was a member of the Kimberley Rod and Gun Club, a Board member of the Kimberley Special Care Home, a Director of the Kootenay Wildlife Heritage Fund, a member of St. Maryâ€™s Flyfishers, and a volunteer for many community activities. He was a kind and caring man who devoted his life to his family, the community and his love of nature. Wayne is survived by his wife Lindis, his daughters Cori Trinder and Terri (Mark) McKinlay, granddaughters Rylee and Sydney McKinlay and Carly Trinder (the lights of his life), sisters-in-law Desiree McKay (Greg McCormick) and Sue Nicholson, his lifelong best friend Bob Misuraca, and several cousins and many special friends. Wayne was predeceased by his parents John and Phyllis Trinder and his cousin Ron Fontaine. A Celebration of Life gathering for friends and family will be held on Tuesday, October 14th from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Centennial Hall in Kimberley. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to remember Wayne may make a donation to: The Pines Memorial Society, 386 - 2 Avenue, Kimberley, BC, V1A 2Z8. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Preliminary hearing for accused Kootenay robbers months away NELSON STAR

The couple accused of robbing several local financial institutions will likely have a preliminary hearing early in 2015. Andrew Stevenson, 34, appeared in Nelson provincial court today by videolink from jail, once again using crutches that he threw off in an escape attempt on September 15. Stevenson fled as a deputy sheriff led him in to the courthouse, but was quickly captured a few blocks away. A new count of escaping custody has been laid against him, bringing the number of charges he faces to 22. Stevenson consented to remaining in custody until October 28 when a date will be fixed for a preliminary hearing, which Crown counsellor Sunday Patola expected would take three days and likely occur sometime between January and March. Stevenson’s co-accused Krista Kalmikoff, 26, who has been released on bail, returns to court the same day. Her lawyer has indicated she intends to plead not guilty and elect trial by judge and jury. Stevenson is accused of holding up the Kootenay Currency Exchange in Nelson, in which a shot was fired, as well as the Nelson and District Credit   

     

Union, Kootenay Savings in Castlegar, and Johnny’s Grocery in Robson in March and April, plus two break-ins at Castlegar pharmacies. He faces charges including robbery, possession of a restricted weapon, pointing a firearm, and possession of stolen property over $5,000. Kalmikoff is accused in the Nelson robberies and Castlegar break-ins. Stevenson and Kalmikoff were both arrested April 25, the day of the Nelson credit union hold-up. Stevenson was injured when he jumped off a bridge while being pursued by police. BC’s Independent Investigations Office, which looks into police-related incidents involving death or serious injury, was brought in to review the arrest. Kellie Kirkpatrick with the office said the report is done but waiting on a final piece of evidence. “I expect that once the chief civilian director can review the report with the additional pieces completed, it should not be too long [before a decision is made],” she said. The director can send the file back for further investigation, forward it to Crown counsel to consider charges, or conclude an officer did not commit an offence and release a public report.

On behalf of the Cranbrook Multi-cultural Society, thank you to all of our volunteers, sponsors and cultural groups for making the 1st Annual Cranbrook Multicultural Festival a great success.

Safe driving tips from accident-free pros NE WS C ANADA

Canadian winters can be harsh, cold, and unpredictable. This is why many drivers become stressed or worried when it’s time to get behind the wheel during the snowy, slippery months. A 2013 survey conducted by the Canadian Automobile Association revealed that driver distraction results in roughly four million motor vehicle crashes in North America each year. Many of us aren’t keeping our eyes on the road and when combined with winter conditions, this can be deadly. “Due to the nature of our work, we understand the importance of road safety,” says Dominic Porporino, vice-president of operations for UPS Canada. “Our drivers travelled

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

two billion miles in 2013; making sure they travel safely is one of our top priorities. To help keep our roads safe this winter, take a few minutes to prepare your vehicle and get accustomed to the changing road conditions.” Porporino also points out that as part of UPS’s commitment to road safety, the Circle of Honor was created as a special recognition for an elite group of drivers with more than 25 years of accident-free driving. “Our drivers receive extensive training with an emphasis on defensive driving techniques, plus safe working methods and delivery procedures. Globally this group has driven over 8.5 billion kilometres − enough to circle the Earth 212,000 times.”

Circle of Honor members offer these safe driving tips: Get your car winter-ready in the fall – Prepare ahead of time. Have your car serviced to make sure fluids are topped up and brakes are in proper working condition. Purchase snow tires – For most passenger vehicles, studies show snow tires can improve your ability to effectively navigate through snow and ice. Pack an emergency kit – If you end up stuck in a snow bank or otherwise run into trouble this winter, it’s important to have an emergency kit within arm’s reach. Pack a winterized blanket, flares, first aid kit, wind-up flashlight, whistle, water and non-perishable food such as granola bars or crackers.

Give yourself extra travel time – Anticipate traffic and slower speeds during stormy weather. A trip that usually takes 20 minutes may take 40 in bad weather, so be patient and stay alert. Charge your cell phone – In case your vehicle gets stuck or your car battery dies, you’ll want to have a cell phone to call for assistance. Make sure it is fully charged before getting behind the wheel. “Our training doesn’t end with our drivers,” Porporino adds. “We work to teach the next generation the importance of road safety too.” More information on this topic is available at http://bit. ly/upsroadcode.

Proper maintenance is the best way to keep tires in good condition and on the road as long as possible. We just have to remember to do our part.

vehicle’s tires in good condition: Pressure, Alignment, Rotation, and Tread. Tire pressure should be checked once a month or when outdoor temperatures change significantly, like during the first frosts and snowfalls. The recommended pressure for your vehicle is usually found on the edge of the driver’s door or doorpost. Wheel alignment is important too and should be checked annually, or if you feel that your car is pulling to the side when you’re diving. Rotation is advised every 10,000 kilometers to balance the wear-and-tear – and the tread depth should be at least 3.2 millimetres. Also look for cuts, snags, punctures, or irregular wear, which may be harder to spot on snowy tires. Ontario Tire Stewardship also suggests a few guidelines for extending the life of your tires during the winter: • Put a lid on it. If tire valve caps are left off, the moisture in the valves can freeze leading to escaped air and a flat tire, which can be hazardous in slippery conditions. • Stay watchful. Check tire pressure regularly as cold temperatures can have a big impact on the air in tires. Good traction is especially important in the winter and proper pressure helps tires maintain their grip. • Be consistent. Use winter tires on all four wheels. Inconsistent traction can lead to sliding and skidding. • Replace and recycle. One aspect of safe winter driving is knowing when tires have outlived their lifespan. Replace winter tires every two to three seasons, and drop off up to four used tires, free of charge, at a registered Ontario Tire Stewardship collector. More information, including locations of tire collectors near you, is available online at www.RethinkTires.ca. www.newscanada. com

Formula One may look at implementing closed cockpits after a crash at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Formula One may look at closed cockpits ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Formula One should consider introducing closed cockpits after Jules Bianchi’s crash at the Japanese Grand Prix, according to the Williams team leadership. The Frenchman, who drives for Marussia, is in a critical but stable condition in hospital after sustaining a head injury when his car hit a crane during Sunday’s rain-shortened race. Enclosed cockpits could provide greater protection for drivers’ skulls. “It’s something we have to look at,” Claire Williams, deputy team principal at Williams, said on Wednesday. “If it can improve safety then of course it has to

be on the agenda as a conversation to have. Enclosed cockpits aren’t easy technically for us to integrate into a Formula One car and of course they change the very nature of what a Formula One car looks like. “We have to look at all the options available to us whether it’s an enclosed cockpit or not, but those conversations need to go on behind the scenes.” Williams declined to discuss if the closed cockpits had been rejected by F1 because they were deemed to be ugly. “We have to find ways to ensure our drivers are as protected as possible,” Williams said on the sidelines of the Leaders’ Sport Business

Summit in London. “The esthetics of a Formula One car — yes they are important, they are the very fiber and DNA of Formula One and what cars look like is important — but safety has to be paramount.” According to a report issued by FIA after the race, Bianchi lost control of his car, travelled across the run-off area and hit the back of the tractor that was being used to remove Adrian Sutil’s Sauber car. Bianchi was unconscious when he was taken from Suzuka to the hospital. The next race is the inaugural Russian GP on Sunday in Sochi, the Black Sea resort that hosted this year’s Winter Olympics.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Betting on French novelist Patrick Modiano to win the Nobel Prize in literature has surged before the award’s announcement on Thursday. Modiano, author of “Missing Person,” rose to sixth place in betting firm Ladbrokes’ ranking Wednesday after being heavily backed by smaller-staking customers, Ladbrokes spokeswoman Jessica Bridge said. His odds were lowered to 10/1, from more than 50/1 last week. Kenyan writer Ngugi wa Thiong’o remains the bettors’ favourite, ahead of Japanese au-

thor Haruki Murakami, Belarusian investigative journalist and author Svetlana Alexievich, and Syrian poet Adonis. Bridge said a late gamble is also starting to develop on Philip Roth as it looks like some bettors consider it likely that an American author will pick up the prize. Roth was ninth in the rankings on Wednesday with odds of 12/1. In previous years, odds on the winning author have sometimes plunged shortly before the announcement even though the Nobel jury seeks to avoid leaks. In 2008, French writer Jean-Marie Gustave Le

Clezio’s odds dropped sharply in the final hours before he was revealed as the winner. Other times, such movements have meant nothing. Last year, the odds on Alexievich fell sharply the day before the jury said the winner was Alice Munro of Canada. In the last three years, the winner has been among the top five in the betting list, Bridge said. But the lucky few who bet on Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa in 2010 or British novelist Doris Lessing in 2007 fetched 25, and 50 times the money, respectively.

Nobel winners create super-vision microscopes ASSOCIATED PRESS

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Two Americans and a German scientist won the Nobel Prize in chemistry on Wednesday for finding ways to make microscopes more powerful than previously thought possible, allowing scientists to see how diseases develop inside the tiniest cells. Working independently of each other, U.S. researchers Eric Betzig and William Moerner and Stefan Hell of Germany shattered previous limits on the resolution of optical microscopes by using glowing molecules to peer inside the components of life. Their breakthroughs, starting in the 1990s, have enabled scientists to study diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s at a molecular level, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. “Due to their achievements, the optical microscope can now peer into the nanoworld,” the academy said, giving the 8 million-kronor ($1.1 million) award jointly to the three for “the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy.” Betzig, 54, works at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Ashburn, Virginia. Hell, 51, is director of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Goettingen, Germany, and also works at the

German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg. Moerner, 61, is a professor at Stanford University in California. “I was totally surprised, I couldn’t believe it,” said Hell, who was born in Romania. “Fortunately, I remembered the voice of Nordmark and I realized it was real,” he added, referring to Staffan Nordmark, the academy’s permanent secretary. The Nobel judges didn’t immediately reach Moerner, who was at a conference in Brazil. The American found out about the prize from his wife after she was told by The Associated Press. “I’m incredibly excited and happy to be included with Eric Betzig and Stefan Hell,” Moerner told the AP. Betzig said he started to tremble when he saw an incoming call from Sweden, receiving the news with a mix of happiness and fear. “Because I don’t want my life to change. I really like my life, and I’m busy enough already,” he told journalists in Munich, where he was giving a lecture. For a long time optical microscopes were limited by the wavelength of light and other factors, so scientists believed they could never yield a resolution better than 0.2 micrometers. But the three scientists were able to break that limit by using molecules that glow on com-

Declassified transcripts detail Oppenheimer security hearings ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The U.S. Department of Energy has declassified documents related to a Cold War hearing for the man who directed the Manhattan Project that developed atomic bombs and was later accused of having communist sympathies. The department last week released transcripts of the 1950s hearings on the security clearance of J. Robert Oppenheimer, providing more insight into the previously secret world

mand. The advance took optical microscopy into a new dimension that made it possible to study the interplay between molecules inside cells, including the aggregation of disease-related proteins, the academy said. The technology offers advantages over an electron microscope, which offers slightly better resolution but can’t be used to examine cells that are alive. “You really need to be able to look at living cells because life is ani-

mate — it’s what defines life,” Betzig said. Hell used these

methods to study nerve cells to get a better understanding of brain

synapses; Moerner studied proteins related to Huntington’s disease;

All perfekt things must come to an end.

and Betzig tracked cell division inside embryos, the academy said.

Points added for distracted driving TOM FLE TCHER Black Press

Talking on your handheld phone or fiddling with a music player while driving will cost you three penalty points in addition to a $167 fine, effective Oct. 20. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the additional penalty points Wednesday, making it the same as the penalty for texting and driving. Penalty points are also added for infractions such as watching a video or programming a phone’s GPS system. Anton said the B.C. government is also reviewing its fines and could increase them, but not to the $1,000 fine Ontario drivers face for a first offence of distracted driving. “I think a $1,000 fine is rather high,” Anton said. Penalty points re-

main on a driving record for five years, and result in a $175 increase in insurance as soon as they exceed three points. Fines and points for two distracted driving tickets in a year add up to at least $634. At nine points, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles considers licence suspension. Anton said there were 51,000 tickets issued last year for distracted driving of all kinds. “Ticket volumes show us that more drivers are ticketed for talking on an electronic device than for texting and driving, and so that is where we decided to start with the new penalty points,” Anton said. Distracted driving is the second biggest cause of fatal vehicle accidents, with an average 88 people killed per year from 2009 to 2013. That compares to 105 deaths at-

Alberta judge calls for police training to recognize signs of excited delirium C ANADIAN PRESS

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. - A judge in southern Alberta wants the RCMP to better train its officers to identify a medical condition called excited delirium. It’s one of five recommendations made in a fatality inquiry report into the 2009 death of a man in Brooks. The report says Grant William Prentice had high levels of cocaine in his system when he was found staggering door-to-door, asking people for help. When police arrived, it took several officers to restrain the 40-year-old, who seemed to have super-human strength. He then went limp and turned blue and later died in hospital. Experts testified that Prentice showed signs of excited delirium and early medical intervention, such as the use of sedatives, may have saved him. “It cannot be stressed strongly

enough the importance of time when dealing with a person in this situation,” wrote Judge Eric Brooks. “Firsthand observations and impressions provided to an attending physician might well make the difference between life and death.” The judge also heard evidence that officers fired a Taser while trying to subdue Prentice but its cycle of electricity lasted only one second and was stopped unintentionally during the struggle. Prentice’s official cause of death was listed as acute cocaine toxicity combined with excited delirium syndrome. The judge said excited delirium is still considered a new area of study, but all first-responders should be aware of it. He also recommended dispatchers for police and ambulances receive annual training on the syndrome and adopt a common terminology to talk about it.

OTTAWA - The pace of housing starts in Canada picked up up slightly in September as work began on more multiple-unit dwellings including condominiums, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said Wednesday. CHMC said there were 17,343 actual starts in September. Extrapolated over 12 months, that produced a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 197,343 starts up from 196,283 in August. Economists had ex-

pected the annual pace to come in at 196,100 on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Thomson Reuters. CMHC’s six-month moving average increased to 197,747 units in September compared with 191,095 in August. “The increase in the trend reflects stronger starts activity since April, largely concentrated in multi-unit dwellings including condominiums,” CMHC chief economist Bob Dugan said in a statement.

“However, the currently elevated level of condominium units under construction supports our view that condominium starts should trend lower over the coming months.” The housing starts data followed a report Tuesday by Statistics Canada that the value of building permits issued by municipalities plunged 27.3 per cent in August far more than the 12.5 per cent drop that economists had expected, according to Thomson Reuters.

Saskatchewan monitoring air quality after derailment C ANADIAN PRESS

WADENA, Sask. Saskatchewan’s Environment Ministry says it will continue to monitor the air quality near a small community after a fiery train derailment that sent thick black smoke into the 2012 air. Spokesman Ralph Bock says there have been no measurable health concerns at the site. “There have been no reports of any contami-

nants above any action levels,” Bock said Wednesday of air-quality tests done to ensure the safety of people and animals. “Air monitoring will continue until the incident is concluded.” Fire commissioner Duane McKay said the fire at the derailment was put out and salvage operations started overnight. “Over the last few hours we’ve seen significant improvement in

the situation,” he said. “Our focus has really been on the residual effects.” McKay said officials will be doing visual surveys to check for smoke damage and residents can request water-quality tests if they are concerned. An evacuation order was lifted Wednesday morning for about 30 residents of Clair and the surrounding area, who were forced from their homes.

Turkish inaction on Syria frustrating US and coalition allies DESMOND BUTLER Associated Press

ISTANBUL, Turkey As U.S. generals and Secretary of State John Kerry warn that a strategic Syrian border town could fall to Islamic State militants, the Turkish military has deployed its tanks on its side of the frontier but only watched the slaughter. Turkey’s inaction despite its supposed participation in a coalition forged to crush the extremist group is frustrating Washington and its NATO allies, and reviving a rebellion by Turkish Kurds. Amid fears the Kurdish town of Kobani could fall any day, U.S. and NATO officials are

travelling to Turkey on Thursday to press negotiations for more robust Turkish involvement in the coalition. But Turkey is taking a hard line, insisting that it will only consider involvement in military action as part of a broader strategy for ending the rule of Syrian President Bashar Assad. The U.S. and its allies want to keep the focus on the Islamic State group, which they say poses a more global threat. Emphasizing the U.S. position, Kerry said Wednesday that although the Obama administration is “deeply concerned about the people of Kobani,” preventing the town’s fall to Islamic State militants

was not a strategic objective for the U.S. “As horrific as it is to watch in real time what’s happening in Kobani, it’s also important to remember, you have to step back and understand the strategic objective,” Kerry told a news conference in Washington. Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, also conceded Kobani could fall because “air power alone is not going to be enough to save that city.” “We all need to prepare ourselves for the reality that other towns and villages - and perhaps Kobani - will be taken by ISIL,” Kirby said, adding that the key

to eventually defeating the militants is to train and enable indigenous ground forces. Turkey is ambivalent about the fight across its border, because of its distrust of the Kurdish fighters protecting Kobani, also known as Ayn Arab. It views them as an extension of the Kurdish PKK, the rebel group that has waged a long and bloody insurgency against Ankara. In recent days, Turkish officials have emphasized that they view both the Islamic State group and the PKK as terrorist groups. Left unsaid is which group they view as the greater threat. But, Turkey’s strict neutrality as the lightly-armed Kurds

Obama confident US will make progress against Islamic State JOSH LEDERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama told top military commanders Wednesday that he is confident the U.S. will keep making progress in its fight against the Islamic State group, as the reality set in of a protracted military engagement with limited prospects for success. Flanked by the top military brass at the Pentagon, Obama said he was heartened to see that a broad international consensus had emerged that the extremist group that now controls much of Iraq and Syria poses a threat to world peace. He said nations across the globe have come to the

conclusion that the group’s “barbaric behaviour has to be dealt with.” “This is not something that can be solved overnight,” Obama said. “Our strikes continue, alongside our partners.” After meeting with commanders, Obama also convened his National Security Council at the Pentagon to discuss efforts to rebuild Iraq’s beleaguered military, and train and arm Syrian opposition groups that the U.S. hopes will battle the Islamic State on the ground so Western troops don’t have to. The high-level meetings come amid growing concerns about whether the U.S.-led campaign is

working, and whether the president can both keep his pledge to destroy the Islamic State group and keep U.S. troops out of combat. Two months after the U.S. began launching airstrikes in Iraq that later expanded to Syria, the Islamic State group is far from crippled. The Islamic group remains in control of most of the territory it has seized in Iraq and Syria, and its fighters appear on the verge of capturing the strategic town of Kobani near Turkey despite days of airstrikes by the U.S.-led coalition. In other areas, Islamic State fighters have shrouded themselves within urban areas to elude efforts to oust them.

face annihilation speaks volumes. While Turkey maintains it does not want Kobani to fall, Turkish officials say they will not enter combat until they are assured that the U.S.-led coalition has a long-term strategy in Syria. They see Assad as a greater nemesis on their border than even the Islamic State. Taking out the militants without a plan to fill the inevitable vacuum, they say, will lead to further chaos that will only strengthen Assad. They want the U.S. to set up a no-fly zone and a humanitarian corridor, as well as ramp up assistance to Syrian rebels battling to overthrow Assad. With its ambitious demands, Turkey may be betting that its geography makes it an indispensable partner and that it can leverage that position to force the U.S. and its allies to expand the coalition mission - an assumption that is causing frustration in Washington and strains within NATO, a senior U.S. administration official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the record. On Thursday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, as well as President Barack Obama’s two envoys to

Rear Adm. John Kirby the anti-Islamic State coalition, retired Gen. John Allen and Ambassador Brett McGurk, arrive for talks with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to push for greater Turkish action. Adding to the pressure on Ankara, Kurds in Kobani and in Turkey accuse the Turkish government of standing idly by while their people are being slaughtered and even impeding their own efforts to save Kobani. The anger boiled into violence Tuesday, amid widespread protests that threatened to derail promising talks to end three decades of insurgency by the PKK militant group. Nineteen people were killed as Kurdish activists clashed with police and members of an Islamist group in Kurdish areas across the country. The jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan has warned that the peace process will end if Ko-

bani falls. While two days of U.S.-led airstrikes seem to be slowing the advance of thousands of Islamic State fighters armed with heavy weapons, Kurdish officials warn they have failed to turn the tide. “The airstrikes have helped. They were good strikes, but not as effective as we want them to be,” said Idriss Nassan, deputy head of Kobani’s foreign relations committee. “Kobani is still in danger and the airstrikes should intensify in order to remove the danger.” Around noon Wednesday, warplanes believed to be from the U.S.-led coalition bombed Islamic State positions near Kobani. One airstrike, visible from the border, struck a hill and an open space near the town. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Wednesday’s strikes targeted Islamic State fighters east of Kobani. The U.S. Central Command said in a statement that coalition forces had launched airstrikes on six locations around Kobani since Tuesday. Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, said there were mixed reports about how many Islamic State militants pulled back from the town under pressure from the air.

Anti-ISIL coalition needs more eyes in the sky MURR AY BRE WSTER Canadian Press

“We all need to prepare ourselves for the reality that other towns and villages and perhaps Kobani will be taken by ISIL.”

OTTAWA - Canada’s plodding but dependable CP-140 Aurora patrol planes could prove to be of greater help than fighter jets for an international coalition seemingly starved for surveillance in the skies over Iraq. Much of the public debate as Canada enters the war against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant has been about CF-18s on bombing missions. But the need for more “eyes in the sky” over Syria and Iraq is something that’s preoccupying U.S. military planners and will likely be a major topic when

senior coalition commanders gather next week in Washington. Defence experts say a good chunk of the American military’s surveillance capability is still tied up in Afghanistan, despite the urgency of the bombing campaign against ISIL. The recently upgraded Auroras employ cutting-edge technology that allows them to identify and track targets over a wide area. They were used to great effect in the Libya bombing campaign three years ago. “What you want, in the way I think this air campaign is unfolding, is persistent coverage,” said retired colonel

George Petrolekas, a former adviser to former generals Rick Hillier and Walt Natynczyk. “There is some daylight reconnaissance preparing for the night airstrikes, but there are not enough drones or planes to be persistent.” Having a more consistent view of the movement of Islamic fighters will help slow and eventually turn back their advance, said retired major-general Lew MacKenzie. Their comments came on a day when some members of the Harper government struggled to clearly define how the military was expected to “destroy and degrade” ISIL.

AUTOMOTION US court hears arguments that chimps are ‘persons’

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

MARY ESCH Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. - A New York state appeals court will decide in coming weeks whether chimpanzees are entitled to “legal personhood” in a case that could lead to expanded rights for animals such as gorillas, elephants and dolphins, according to the lawyer advocating for a 26-year-old chimp named Tommy. Attorney Steven Wise argued before a five-member mid-level appeals court Wednesday on be-

half of Tommy, who lives alone in a cage in upstate Fulton County. A trial-level judge has refused a request by Wise and his Nonhuman Rights Project to have Tommy released to join other chimps at a Florida sanctuary that mimics their natural habitat. Wise argues that animals with human qualities, such as chimps, deserve basic rights, including freedom from imprisonment. He’s also seeking the release of three other chimps in New York and said he plans similar cases in other

states. If he succeeds, he said he will seek personhood for other species with human qualities, which he defines as self-determination and autonomy. One of the judges said the state has laws to protect animals from mistreatment and suggested they might be a more appropriate avenue to ensure Tommy’s welfare. But Wise said the case is not about well-being, but unlawful imprisonment. “What about the detention makes it unlawful?” asked Presid-

ing Justice Karen Peters. “Keeping a legal person in solitary confinement in a cage is unlawful,” Wise replied. The key question is whether a chimp is a person. Richard Cupp, a professor at Pepperdine Law School who writes and speaks extensively about the legal and moral status of animals, said by phone Wednesday that granting legal personhood and rights to animals could unintentionally dilute the concept of human rights.

“We could see over time some of our most vulnerable humans losing out in a rights struggle if they’re in direct competition with some particularly intelligent non-human animals,” Cupp said. “We could have the personhood paradigm weakened by extending it to animals.” Cupp, and several of the judges, noted that rights come with responsibilities. “Human beings are the only species where most of us are capable of the responsibilities that go with rights,” Cupp said.

Commission urges First Nations to resolve overlapping land claims DENE MOORE Canadian Press

VANCOUVER - Despite the glacial pace of negotiations, the British Columbia treaty process remains a viable option for First Nations to pursue self-determination, says the provincial treaty commission. But commissioner Sophie Pierre said Tuesday that overlapping land claims are an ongoing and thorny issue for negotiations. “We have consistently identified overlapping claims as one of the biggest challenges that a First Nation, reaching final agreement, must overcome,” Pierre said in the commission’s annual report. It’s a barrier to more than treaties, she added in an interview. “It’s also for all the major development that’s being talked about,” Pierre said. Well over 100 per cent of B.C. Crown land is claimed as the traditional territory of one or more of the province’s

198 First Nations. Treaties are even more necessary in light of a recent high-court ruling recognizing land title for the Tsilhqot’in Nation, she said. “In fact, what Tsilhqot’in has said is that the best way of moving forward is through negotiated settlements, and that’s what we need to do,” Pierre said. The report includes recommendations from several high-profile mediators and arbitrators, including Vince Ready. Judith Sayers, former chief of the Hupacasath First Nation and its chief negotiator for 16 years, said treaties were never supposed to proceed to even an agreement-in-principle stage until boundary issues were resolved. But “these governments want settlements so bad that they don’t care about overlap,” said Sayers, who is also an assistant law professor at the University of Victoria. “It is first-come, first

serve.” There have been several court cases over disputed boundaries set by treaty, such as a lawsuit by the 6,000-member Sto:lo Nation over the treaty signed with the 200-member Yale First Nation, which includes fishing rights in the Fraser River. Pierre said progress had been made but she blamed a lack of funding from the provincial and federal governments for the failure to resolve disputes among nations. The commission does not negotiate treaties but allocates funds and facilitates negotiations. Since it was established in 1992, nine First Nations have fully ratified final agreements. Thirty-eight others are in various stages of negotiations, while 18 are no longer negotiating. The First Nations Summit, which represents bands involved in the treaty process, echoed the commission’s call for action.

Among all the First Nations in B.C., 102 have taken part in the treaty process and 96 have not. The commission report said a limited federal mandate is another stumbling block, but Pierre expressed some hope that a change in

approach announced by federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt over the summer may jump-start stalled talks. Those include a mandate to negotiate fishing rights and the re-appointment of special representative Doug

Eyford. Eyford was originally enlisted to try and salvage discussions with aboriginal groups over the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal. Over the past two decades, the commission has allocated approximately $627 million to

First Nations to negotiate treaties. Eighty per cent is a loan from the federal government, and the tally has become crippling, the commission said. Outstanding loans totalled approximately $486 million as of March 31, 2014.

Government doubles hunting tags for elk in southern Alberta C ANADIAN PRESS

CFB SUFFIELD, Alta. - The province is doubling the number of elk-hunting tags in southern Alberta to try to reduce a population of 6,000 animals on an army base. Sustainable Resources spokesman Duncan MacDonnell says the herd has exploded since 220 elk were reintroduced at CFB Suffield in the late 1990s. MacDonnell says 800 tags for elk cows and 100 for bulls have been issued for this season. Another 60 tags are to go to military personnel for the hunt within base boundaries.

The Suffield elk were brought in after 1,200 wild horses in the area were rounded up in 1994, leaving the base without a population of grazers. The original elk came from Elk Island National Park near Edmonton in 1997 and 1998. “Our whole objective is to curb the growth of that herd,” said MacDonnell. “The mitigating circumstance here is it’s a military base. Access is limited, so it’s how much access can we negotiate? Those conversations are ongoing.” MacDonnell acknowledged the 60 special permits for the

military have some area ranchers and farmers concerned. “The only tag we could give them - because there is no name for it - is the landowner tag,” he said. Ten tags a week over the six weeks of the hunt are to be allocated to eligible hunters who are military personnel. The length of the hunts, as well as the number of tags issued on the base, has slowly grown since 2012, said MacDonnell. “We’re in talks with the base to see if we can be more aggressive next year.”
