Last Monday, October 20 was the date when candidates were allowed to post election signs in Kimberley, and as Kimberley residents will have noted, signs have sprung up all over town. We have now entered the last three weeks of the election campaign and the last two weeks in particular have important dates to keep in mind. This will be the first municipal election in Kimberley to utilize automated vote counting machines. If you’d like to learn a little more about this technology, the City of Kimberley will be offering two demonstrations of how they work. The first will be next Monday, November 3 at 4 p.m. at City Hall. Another demonstration will occur on Monday, November 10 at 6 p.m. at City Hall. Also on November 3 will be the Candidates Forum for Councillors at 7 p.m. at McKim School. There will be a one hour meet and greet with candidates prior to the forum. Please keep in mind that there will be no opportunity to ask questions directly during the forum. If you have questions for the candidates, please email them to forum@kimberleychamber.com or you can submit your question just prior to the forum’s start. On Tuesday, November 4, it’s the Candidates
Forum for Mayors. The same timing and format applies as for the Council Forum. On Wednesday, November 5, it’s the first Advance Voting Day at Centennial Hall from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The second Advance Voting Day is November 12. Anyone who is qualified to vote in the upcoming election can vote on advance voting day. November 12 (1 p.m.) is also the deadline for Mail Ballot Requests.

Rotary Way upgraded, expanded to link with Rails to Trails F o r t h e Tow n s m a n
With the nice weather, work is proceeding on Rotary Way on several fronts this fall. The Link: First of all Rotary Way will be linked to North Star Rails to Trails (previously known as the Rails to Trails project) which runs to along the old CPR rail bed to Kimberley. The route for the “Link” runs along McPhee road from the old CPR rail bed near Theater Road, along McPhee Road, past the Home Depot, past the Transfer station to the Chamber of Commerce on Cranbrook Street. The rest of the Link on the east side of Cranbrook Street was constructed by the City of Cranbrook last year. BA Black Top is working on this part of the trail. Paving will be proceeding soon. A good deal of time and effort was taken in consideration of various alternative routes for the Link. Safety and ease of use were primary concern in selecting the route. A word of appreciation is extended to the Regional District of East Kootenay for their co-operation, with respect to the trail in front of the Transfer Station. Similarly thanks the Chamber of Commerce for their assistance in providing for the trail in front of the Chamber building. The Chamber office will be a great spot for visitors and residents to pick up trail information, park, and head out into the City via foot or bicycle. A large gravel surface parking lot has been constructed by the City on the south side of McPhee road near the Chamber. This parking lot will provide spots for large trailers and
motorhomes as well as trail users. Walkers and cyclists can head out the south to the North Star Trail towards Kimberley from this point as well. Funding on this part of the project was provided by the City of Cranbrook, Rotary Club, Columbia Basin Trust and the Province of BC. Rotary Way Maintenance: Maintenance has been proceeding on the existing Rotary Way. Rotary Way was constructed in several stages over the past 15 years and several items required upgrade. Two bridges were replaced last year in the St Mary’s school area. This summer line painting (and stop bars) and retaining wall repair was carried out by the City of Cranbrook. Right now pavement repairs are underway at various locations with BA Blacktop doing that work for the Rotary Club of Cranbrook. There are a few areas where the pavement had deteriorated. Signs along the trail will be upgraded and replaced where necessary. Funding assistance was provided for this work by Columbia Basin Trust in cooperation with the City of Cranbrook. BA Blacktop has also donated a portion of their work to this project. Rotary Way Clean Up: Rotary members are active cleaning gravel and other debris from the trail. In some areas weeds and grasses are encroaching on to the trail. These are being trimmed back to widen the trail and reduce or prevent damage. Sandor Rentals has donated some equipment for this work. We look forward to further expansion of the trail in the future.

The joys of a musical education Selkirk Music Program will present Beauty and the Beast this spring Jordan Anderson For the Bulletin
The Selkirk Secondary School music program has been responsible for enhancing my high school experience over the past five years. Providing skills and knowledge, it has allowed me to develop my passions and appreciate an abundance of musical styles. Being involved in the music program has impacted me in many positive ways not only my musical abilities, but also other measures of my life. It has taught me patience and self-expression. It has ameliorated my grades in other courses, and given me the chance to build and develop relationships with some of the most remarkable and talented friends. The famous band and choir trips are full of amazing performances, silly bus sing-alongs, and of course the opportunity to both perform and appreciate our developing pieces. One of the most exciting and anticipated undertakings of the

I’ve yet been involved in. This year’s musical will be one for the books, with the production of “Beauty And The Beast,” showing May 20th-23rd. I’m also exceptionally eager for
our first Band and Choir performance to be held at McKim Theatre, November 6th. As the year progresses, we are anxiously anticipating trips to The Vic Lewis Festival in Canmore, perfor-
mances in Calgary, and a much anticipated trip to Vancouver in the spring. The music program at Selkirk Secondary has been and continues to be an essential part
of my high school experience. It is an exceptional program that creates lasting friendships while developing your talents and creating opportunities to discover yourself. For me, the
music program has been both challenging and crucial to my personal development and basically one of the sole reasons I make it through high school sane.
Bylaws mean big bills for some Cranbrook residents Cranbrook City bylaws that deal with development could end up costing some homeowners upwards of thousands of dollars Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
The wording and interpretation of a bylaw
that deals with development could end up in expensive sanitary upgrades for homeowners who need to update their septic tanks. The issue deals with permits to replace a septic system on Cranbrook properties under two hectares. Under the City of Cranbrook Zoning Bylaw 3737, 2012 and Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw 3633, 2008, a development variance permit would be needed to allow the homeowner to replace the septic in that situation. At the Oct. 20 council meeting the issue came
up as a result of a development variance permit request from a 1404 12th Avenue South to wave the requirement to connect to the sewer system for a property under two hectares. Engineering staff recommended that council not approve the application for the development variance permit, though noted that the property will be able to connect to the sanitary sewer on 15th Street South for a cost estimated as comparable to the cost to replace the septic. Mayor Wayne Stetski said the issue will likely have to be dealt with.
“I think for tonight, we’re okay because there is an opportunity for the homeowner to connect to city sewer on 15th Street South, without having to incur any more cost then it would have to replace the existing septic system. The challenge is the interpretation of these bylaws in the past, that suggest that if you are going to replace it with an existing sewer system, that staff has considered it to be a new development.” Stetski said the requirement would then be that you have to hook up to the city sewer. “In some cases if
there had not been a city sewer access close by it could have cost the proponent potentially millions of dollars to hook up to the city sewer because of the distance
POLL WEEK of the
away,” he said. Stetski said from his perspective, if a person is just replacing a septic system on site it shouldn’t be considered a new development.
“Is that a new development? I wouldn’t really consider that a new development.” See Page 4

Hockey insider holds book signing Wednesday at Cole’s in Cranbrook Staff
Of the 624,148 kids playing minor hockey in Canada today, less than one per cent will make it to the NHL. But while everyone seems to be chasing the NHL dream, no one really knows what they will encounter along the way. Former pro-hockey player, Matt McCoy, reveals all about the long road to the NHL in his new book, “The Kid Who Missed the Bus” (Central Avenue Publishing, 2013). From the appalling rookie hazings of the 80s to being billeted out to dozens of homes, including a marijuana grow-op, Matt McCoy saw it all while chasing his dream of making it
to the NHL. After 11 seasons of hockey, making Juniors by age 16, playing on four professional teams in Europe and the U.S, surviving a broken ankle, separated shoulder, blown knee and multiple stitches, Matt never made it to the NHL but he did learn invaluable lessons about hockey and himself along the way. Matt McCoy will be doing a book signing on Tuesday, Oct. 28, 12:15 pm to 5 pm at the Coles bookstore at the Tamarack Mall in Cranbrook. Bulletin readers can go to McCoy’s website for a signed copy at w w w . t h e k i d whomissedthebus.com. Check it out for some comments on the book.
Fish found dead at Teck’s Line Creek operation Sar ah Kucharski The Free Press
Almost a dozen fish were found dead between last Thursday and Friday at Line Creek Operation — a Teck mine and preparation plant near Sparwood. “We have notified appropriate regulatory authorities and are currently working to determine the cause,” said Nic Milligan, Teck manager of community and
Aboriginal affairs in a press release on Saturday. Milligan assured the public that the West Line Creek Active Water Treatment Facility has also been shut down, and the water treatment works where the fish were found has been isolated. As of last Saturday, Teck was working on removing the fish from the area and transporting them to another water body. “At Teck we take these issues very seriously and are committed to ensuring the environment is protected,” said Milligan.

B.C. legislature to declare Terry Fox Day Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. government is preparing to declare the second Sunday of September Terry Fox Day, recognizing the annual Marathon of Hope events around the world that raise money for cancer research. Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer presented a private member’s bill Thursday to recognize the day the annual runs have been held since 1980, when Fox embarked on a cross-country run that was cut short by a relapse of cancer. As a student at Simon Fraser University, Reimer recalled seeing Fox run around the campus quadrangle and wondering what he was training for. “It honours a great man whose combination of strength, passion, idealism and sheer guts

Big bills for some Cranbrook residents From Page 3 Stetski said that historically the city has considered replacing septic systems as new development on that property. He noted that if it was a subdivision it would absolutely be new development, but this is a replacement of an existing septic system. Stetski said the staff recommendation was acceptable because there is a city sewer close by for the homeowner to connect to for the same cost as a septic replacement. Coun. Angus Davis said it seems to him that the rules here were just being “blankly enforced.” “Unless there’s something really, really substantial that would prevent them from doing it, then we need to be a little more positive with the way we treat people that want to spend their money and create an asset and become a taxpayer,” Davis said. “Not everyone in the world wakes up in the morning and thinks ‘I want to spend the rest of my life being a taxpayer.’ You create
wealth, you create an asset and that asset is a contributer to the municipality. We need that.” Pallesen said she read through the bylaws and didn’t find it very clear. “What if this was a longtime homeowner and they were 65 to 70 and they wanted to stay there but their septic system was done?” Pallesen said, wondering why they would need to apply as a new development to get a septic system done. Coun. Diana J. Scott agreed with Davis and Pallesen. “Maintaining and replacing something that is worn out is not necessarily a new development and I think that we should be cognizant of helping out our taxpayers when we can,” she said. CAO Wayne Staudt noted that council would have to eventually look at whether it is the way the bylaw has been interpreted or the way it is written that’s at fault. “It’s probably a little bit of both,” Staudt said.
said Reimer’s bill is expected to pass with unanimous support this week. She met with Terry’s father Rolly, sister Judith and brothers Darrell and Fred in her office Thursday to speak to re-
porters. Darrell Fox said the declaration will encourage volunteers who organize Terry Fox runs, who have raised $650 million in the past 34 years.
“That’s why we’re so excited, because it gives them something to look forward to, to promote next year, and the fact that it has happened here in B.C.,” he said.
Use of old Cranbrook fire hall denied until renovated, city says Arne Pe tryshen
The city couldn’t grant a request from the Salvation Army for the use the old fire hall for 54 days as part of the program that provides Christmas Food Hampers and toys to individuals. Captain Kirk Green, from the Salvation Army, wrote that in order to provide for the estimated 300 families in need the non-profit needs a suitable building and the old fire hall would do it. “Preparations begin in early November with the storage and arrangements of goods and culminate on December 22 with hamper pick-up and delivery,” Green said. “For the purposes of this request, we would appreciate the use of the building from November 1, 2014 until December 24, 2014.” However, at the Oct. 20 council meeting, CAO Staudt said the old fire hall would not be available for the extended period of time the
Salvation Army is requesting. Staudt wrote back to Green saying that the city had just had a contractor remove the asbestos in the old fire hall and as a result the facility won’t be available for public use until it is renovated. “The fire chief did say that if it was for one day, or something like that, they might be able to make the fire hall available for something on a one-day activity window,” Staudt said, adding that the fire chief was going to contact the Salvation Army, but noted he didn’t believe there was anything available from the city at this time. Mayor Wayne Stetski said he’s been looking into the request. “Coun. Scott and I were talking about it earlier and were wondering if maybe a realtor might know about something available that a business person might want to open up and let them use for
free,” Stetski said. Coun. Diana J. Scott said the Sunrise Rotary used to use the building in the Tamarack Centre next to the Columbia Theatre, but that now houses Glow Yoga. “Something like that may be available, or the Subway restaurant on the strip has moved down a few blocks to a great big new fabulous place. Their (old) location is sitting vacant.” Scott noted that it was too bad no one would be able to watch the meeting, as it wouldn’t be broadcast on Shaw due to election rules (which have since been revised; the Nov. 3 meeting will be broadcast). Coun. Gerry Warner suggested the Telus building. “That’s one of the biggest buildings downtown and it’s not all occupied,” Warner said. “We use it as an incidence centre when there is an emergency, there’s good space there.”

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Demolition of eyesore building
I think everyone agrees the building has to go, the question is ‘when?’ McRae says we have the money do it now. McCormick says council’s understanding was that the demolition would be financed by the sale of four Chapman Camp lots. Only one lot has sold so far so McCormick says we should delay until the lots sell. According to the Bulletin’s information on the reserve fund, McRae is correct: the money is there, but when the demolition costs are taken from the fund, the fund will be almost empty (perhaps enough left to pave the lot). McRae says McCormick doesn’t understand the reserve fund. What’s to un-
derstand if the reserve fund is just the title of an empty account? From $434,897.34 to almost empty and two and one-half months to go before years end tells a story of very little reserve dealing with the reserve fund. John Clark Kimberley
Mobility scooters
Regarding Mr. Warner’s remarks about mobility scooter for handicapped people: Had Mr. Warner taken the time to pay attention to these devices he would notice that they all come equipped with brakes, horn, signal lights, brake lights, and lights. They are mandated — I believe federally — as an assistance mobility device.
And yes, they are capable of going 15 or so kilometres an hour. This is because some of those handicapped people have no other means of getting around. They fall in the same category as motorized wheelchairs. So Mr. Warner appears to have something against handicapped people, and quite a few of them are seniors. So how many voters has he just insulted and lost votes from? I for one was of the mind, at the start of this election, leaning towards Mr. Warner, but being senior and handicapped, now must reconsider that. After all who wants a city councillor who is against handicapped people? And that is ALL I read in his views and comments. Tom Haverko Cranbrook
Renowned doctor to speak on Lyme Disease Barry Coulter
A free information session on the perils of Lyme Disease is being offered in Cranbrook on Wednesday, Oct. 29. Dr. Ernie Murakami, founder Murakami Centre for Lyme Research, Education & Assistance, will be speaking at the College of the Rockies Lecture Theatre starting at 7 p.m. A press release by the organizers says that Dr. Murakami has treated and consulted with over 3,000 people that have presented positive serology for Lyme and co-infections in Canada. His longterm goal is “to help get rid the layers of mistrust and misguided information to expose the truth and weak areas that need to be addressed by our current health care system behind this disease. “Dr. Murakami … has made it his life’s work to further educate and treat Lyme in Canada.” Admission to the presentation is free, though donations will be accepted to help cover the travel costs of Dr. Murakami The presentation is an initiative of Julia O’Shannassy from Fernie, who herself is afflicted with Lyme Disease. “Prior to becoming ill, I was very active. I became very ill in the Fall of 2012 — it felt like I was coming down with the flu.”
After consultations with her GP and various specialists, O’Shannassy was finally told she had a virus. “By the spring, I was starting to feel a bit better, but my health went downhill again very quickly. By July I was completed exhausted all the time, had severe joint pain and couldn’t concentrate. “I started doing my own research and stumbled upon Lyme Disease. O’Shannassy said she also learned that diagnosis and treatment in Canada are poor, so she went to specialist in the Seattle to get diagnosis and treatment. “I had a positive blood test and started antibiotic treatment at the end of August, 2013. I have now been on antibiotic treatment for 13 months. I also take various supplements and try to eat a fairly strict diet. “I would say that I am now 80 per cent better, but still have a ways to go until I am able to be as active as I once was. “I just want to get the message out to people that Lyme Disease is in the East Kootenay but that you may not be able to get proper diagnosis and treatment in this area.” Some facts about Lyme Disease Lyme disease is one of the most rapidly spreading vector-borne diseases in the
world. It is an inflammatory infection that spreads to humans through tick bites. Three stages of Lyme Disease: Stage 1: Early infection (first few days after infection) Stage 2: Infection spreads (days to weeks following infection) Stage 3: Chronic Lyme (days to weeks after infection if left untreated, or not properly treated, for months/years after infection) Lyme disease is most treatable during Stage 1. Symptoms worsen during each stage of infection, ranging from flu-like symptoms to neurological illnesses, including paralysis. With chronic Lyme disease there is not one system of the body that can be unaffected… this includes various hormone production as well. Lyme Disease is very often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, MS, ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Treatment Research shows that it can take several rounds of antibiotics to overcome Lyme infection. Talk to your doctor about additional antibiotic treatments if you’ve been experiencing symptoms for an extended period of time.

Difficult birth for LNG cash cow Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-percent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles. The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is
considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake. China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s BC VIEWS only current export market. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natuTom ral gas industry has relied on Fletcher exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up — and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

From Russia with love Valiev hopes to boost Ice fortunes on six-game homestand Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Kootenay Ice defenceman Rinat Valiev emerged from the team dressing room with a welcoming smile spread across his face Monday afternoon. A smile is a rare thing in the bowels of Western Financial Place these days. Lost in the excitement of forward Tim Bozon’s return this past weekend was the fact Valiev also returned to lineup after missing the first 12 games of the season due to a lower-body injury. That was reason enough for the smooth-skating 19-yearold Russian to smile Monday afternoon. “I was excited [to be back],” Valiev said prior to practice. “It was a little bit hard on the ice. It can be hard after surgery when you come back. You feel a little bit tired and slow, but I’m trying to be a good player. “[You feel] sad when your teammates are all playing and we start not real well. It’s hard to see when the boys are losing. You want to help.” After winning the first two games on their home schedule, the Kootenay Ice have since dropped two in a row in Cranbrook, the most re-

cent a 9-2 setback to the Calgary Hitmen Friday night. A 4-3 loss in Spokane on Saturday dropped the Ice to a WHL-worst 3-11-0-0 mark through 14 games. With the 6-foot-2, 208-pound Russian rearguard back in the lineup, the Ice open a six-game home stand tonight at 7 p.m. when the Prince Albert Raiders visit Western Financial Place for the first time this season. “He’s an unbelievable defenceman,” said forward Luke Philp Monday afternoon. “He plays in all situations. He moves the puck really well. That helps us get on the attack through our transition game and through breakouts.” Valiev posted five goals and 28 points in 55
games last season, grabbing the attention of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, who drafted the native of Nizhnekamsk, Russia in the third round (68th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. He showed his value on the offensive side of the puck Saturday night in Spokane, earning his first point of the season with a secondary assist on Matt Alfaro’s third-period goal. With a captain yet to be named, Valiev joins Philp and forward Jaedon Descheneau, each sporting an ‘A’ on their sweaters. “We need to work hard as a team,” Valiev said. “Like usual, [if we] play hard, listen to coach [Ryan McGill], we’re going to be fine.”

Kootenay Ice defenceman Rinat Valiev (left) celebrates with forward Luke Philp (right) last season. The Russian rearguard returned to the Ice lineup this past weekend and hopes to help turn things around on the team’s six-game homestand. Listening to coach Ryan McGill seems to have been a struggle for the Kootenay Ice through the opening stretch of the season. After a 5-0 setback Oct. 22 in Saskatoon, the Ice bench boss said it was his players’ deviation from the game plan that cost the team. With two more losses chalked up since then, the question remains as to why this team doesn’t seem interested in following the directions of the coach for a full 60 minutes. “We’ve had certain guys show up for certain nights and we need ev-
Giants & Royals set for wild World Series finish Antonio Gonz alez Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey was annoyed. Playfully so. The Giants catcher wanted Madison Bumgarner to do more than barely break a smile after a brilliant pitching performance put San Francisco one win from another World Series title. No way, Buster. Because in this post-season full of stars and surprises, who knows? Heck, Bumgarner might still have more work to do. Baseball took its final break Monday before the Giants and Royals settle things. Holding a 3-2 edge, San Francisco will try to claim its third championship in five years Tuesday night
when the wild-card matchup resumes at Kansas City. “We’re trying to grind this thing out, the way we have for what feels like forever now,” Jake Peavy, who starts Game 6 for the Giants, said before Monday night’s workout at Kauffman Stadium. “Not even sure of the date, the day. Doesn’t matter.” The day off gave fans a chance to savour what they’d already seen in the past month, and there was plenty — the success of Bumgarner, Lorenzo Cain and Yusmeiro Petit, the struggles of Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout and Detroit’s aces, a rack of tight games and one that went 18 innings. “Clayton who? Mad-
Bum!” one man yelled as he exited AT&T Park after the Giants won 5-0 Sunday night. Could be a lot more cooking in this October oven, too. Maybe Ned Yost even had it right. “Oh, man, somewhere inside of me, secretly I had hoped that it would go seven games for the excitement and the thrill of it,” the Kansas City manager said after a loss in Game 4. “Sure looks that way.” Perhaps it’s only fitting this Fall Classic ends at Kauffman Stadium, a place hosting playoff baseball for the first time in 29 years. The Royals started this pulsating post-season at home with a 9-8 comeback win in 12 innings over Oak-
land in the AL wild-card game, a thriller that began on the last day of September and nearly stretched into October. That captivating night in Kansas City set the stage for a month to remember: dramatic finishes, favourites falling and underdogs overachieving, stars slipping and new ones shining. What happens next is anybody’s guess. After all, the last time Game 6 of the World Series came to Kansas City, one of the most surreal scenes in baseball history unfolded: first base umpire Don Denkinger’s botched call serving as the signature moment of the 1985 World Series won by the Royals over St. Louis. “We know we can do
eryone showing up every night,” Philp said. “You can’t win in this league if you just have a couple lines going or a couple players going. We need more out of a lot of guys. “I think guys are ultimately working hard. But sometimes if you’re just working, it doesn’t work out. You’ve got to follow the systems in play. Play the game the coaches have designed us to play so we can have success against the other team. If you stray from that, if one guy doesn’t do his job, it makes it that much harder for the other guys.”
Philp, Valiev and the Ice will look to turn things around tonight against the Raiders. The two teams previously met Oct. 21 in Prince Albert, with the home team squeaking out a 3-2 victory courtesy of 19-year-old Jayden Hart’s third-period winner. “They’re a hard-working team,” Philp said. “We know we had a battle against them when we were in P.A. the other week.” Notes: After returning to the lineup for two games this weekend, F Tim Bozon is day-to-day
with a lower-body injury…F Jon Martin is still nursing an upper-body injury of his own and expected to miss one more week…F River Beattie tallied his first-career WHL goal back on Oct. 21 when the Raiders and Ice met in Prince Albert…Former Ice F Sam Reinhart earned his first-career NHL point with an assist in the Buffalo Sabres’ 2-1 win Saturday at San Jose…Former Ice G Mackenzie Skapski earned his first-career AHL shutout in a 3-0 win over the Norfolk Admirals Oct. 26...
it,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “We’re a confident group. But we can’t do anything without winning Game 6. We’re excited to get back home where we feed off the fans and that energy.” Royals rookie Yordano Ventura starts against the veteran Peavy — not exactly the matchup many would’ve predicted in April. But the majors’ most notable names during the regular season — Dodgers ace Kershaw and Angels slugger Trout — flamed out in the Division Series. A trio of Cy Young winners didn’t do enough for Detroit. Injuries slowed down former Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers and Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright. Playoff-proven starter Jon Lester looked lost under October’s bright
lights for the one-anddone Athletics. Up-andcoming starter Stephen Strasburg showed he still has to polish his post-season poise for the Nationals. These playoffs bred a new batch of baseball darlings: Cain and the running Royals, starter-turned-reliever Petit and a pair of blazing bullpens no longer overlooked. Of course, no star has burned brighter than a 25-year-old lefty from North Carolina, the one who peeved Posey with his tempered postgame reaction. Bumgarner’s dominant performances in Game 1 and Game 5 — not to mention in every previous round — has put San Francisco one win away from another parade down Market Street, something Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and
generations of Giants fans dreamed of. Now it’s becoming an every-other-year tradition. And if the Giants don’t win Game 6, there’s always a chance Bumgarner could emerge from the bullpen to help out in Game 7. Royals rookie Brandon Finnegan might understand the topsy-turvy nature of these playoffs better than anyone. Only four months after he pitched in the College World Series, the 21-year-old reliever got two key outs in the seventh inning as Kansas City won Game 3. A night later, Finnegan failed to bridge the gap to the back end of the bullpen, allowing five runs in an 11-4 loss to San Francisco. “Baseball can pick you up quickly,” Finnegan said, “and hit you in the gut quickly.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: When I was a teenager, one of my cousins tried to molest me when we were at our grandmother’s house. He tried to force a kiss on me and said because I was older, I should learn about sex and teach it to him. I fought him off. I was afraid to tell our grandmother, because she would have been so upset. Grandma is gone now. The problem is, this cousin told his parents I tried to molest him. Consequently, they have treated me terribly. His mother told me she didn’t want me around her daughter because I might hurt her. She is nasty and belligerent around me, even now. I don’t like that they have repeated this false accusation to other relatives, telling them I am a bad person. I don’t think talking to my cousin would get me anywhere. Should I speak to my uncle about what happened, even at this point in time? -- Concerned Dear Concerned: We hope you have told your parents, as well as your aunt and uncle, the truth about this accusation. It’s not uncommon for young cousins to “practice” on each other, and it’s very likely that your overly hormonal cousin was embarrassed by your reaction and blamed you to deflect his own culpability. It’s also understandable that his parents would believe him, especially if you didn’t tell your side of the story at the time. If your cousin is an adult now, he might be more amenable to taking responsibility for his actions, especially if you approach him without blame, simply asking him to do the right thing and help you clear this up. Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our late 50s, married for 30 years, and we have no children. Several years ago, the issue of wills came up. We had different opinions on the way our estate should be divided. The end result is, we still don’t have wills or trusts set up. I think half of the estate should go to my side of the family and half to hers. She thinks more should go to her family because there are more of them. The nieces and nephews on her side are not doing as well financially as those on my side of the family. She also has earned a larger income for most of our marriage, and I’m certain it factors into her thinking, even if she won’t voice it. I don’t believe that should even be part of the argument. I’m of the opinion that a marriage is a 50/50 proposition, and this should be no different. My inheritance from my parents went right into our account with no question, and we always have had shared bank accounts. What do you think? -- John Dear John: You’re missing one small reality: Unless you and your wife die together, one of you will inherit from the other, at which point, the deciding vote belongs to the surviving spouse. Please consult with an attorney who specializes in estate law and can help you sort through the “yours, mine, ours” aspect of your assets and distribute them in the most equitable way. Dear Annie: The recent letters you’ve printed about children being disruptive in church have prompted me to offer a different view. Several years ago, I was fortunate to be in a church service (Lutheran) in Mexico, and there I saw an entirely different approach. The children were allowed to wander freely around the sanctuary, run up and down the aisles, and, well, be children. Yes, they made a little noise, but not that much, and they were actually happy to be in church, rather than viewing it as something to be endured. Maybe it’s not the children who are the problem, but the adults who have unrealistic expectations of how children should behave. Should we not all “make a joyful noise”? -An Old Grouch Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

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

Ghomeshi lawsuit against CBC alleges breach of confidence, defamation
Teen sent text invite for lunch to students, then shot them at table Associated Press
MARYSVILLE, Wash. — Investigators say that a gunman responsible for a shooting at a Washington state high school invited his victims to lunch by text message. Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary told a news conference Monday the five students were all at a lunch table when they were shot by 15-yearold Jaylen Fryberg on Friday. Trenary also confirmed that the
.40-calibre handgun used in the shooting had been legally purchased by one of Fryberg’s relatives. It remains unclear how Fryberg obtained the weapon. Two 14-year-old girls were killed, and three students remain hospitalized. Fryberg also killed himself. Trenary said that while a teacher tried to intervene, she did not have any physical contact with the gunman before he killed himself.
US Secretary of State to visit Canada Associated Press
Secretary of State John Kerry is travelling to Ottawa this week to offer condolences to Canada and express U.S. solidarity in the fight against extremist violence. The State Department said Monday that Kerry would make the daylong trip Tuesday and would reaffirm the strong friendship between the United States and Canada in meetings with senior Canadian officials. Kerry’s visit follows two attacks in
daily townsman / daily bulletin
Canada last week that appear to have been inspired by the Islamic State group. On Wednesday, a gunman shot and killed a soldier at Canada’s national war memorial in Ottawa and then burst into Parliament before being gunned down. Two days earlier, a man ran over two soldiers in a parking lot in Quebec, killing one and injuring the other before being shot to death by police.
L aur a K ane Canadian Press
TORONTO — Lawyers for radio star Jian Ghomeshi have launched their promised lawsuit against the CBC, alleging breach of confidence, bad faith and defamation by the public broadcaster. Ghomeshi is seeking $55 million from the CBC, according to the lawsuit, plus special damages. The suit says “the claim is the result of the CBC misusing personal and confidential information provided to it in confidence and under common interest privilege.”
On Sunday, the CBC said it was severing ties with Ghomeshi, because of “information” it had received about him. Lawyers from Dentons Canada LLP then announced their intention to sue the CBC. Shortly after that, Ghomeshi posted a long Facebook message saying he had been fired by the public broadcaster for his “sexual behaviour.” In the Facebook post, Ghomeshi said he was open with the CBC about his sexual behaviour, after he became aware that a freelance writer was looking into allegations that he’d engaged in “abusive relations.” Ghomeshi said in the post that he only engages in sexual practices
Jian Ghomeshi that are “mutually agreed upon” and “consensual.” The lawsuit alleges that the CBC misused “personal and confidential information provided to it in confidence.” It also says that Ghomeshi was not aware that the CBC was continuing to conduct an investigation into the matter or that the information would be used
as basis for his dismissal. “Mr. Ghomeshi would not have shared information about his private life with the CBC, had he appreciated that the CBC would ultimately use the information provided to it to terminate his employment,” says the suit. The suit goes on to say the “conduct of the CBC has negatively impacted and will continue to impact Mr. Ghomeshi’s public reputation and future employment and other opportunities.” There is no real limit to the damages a person can claim. A CBC spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.
Mammoth skull, tusk found in Idaho may indicate rare complete skeleton

Associated Press
AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho — A portion of a Columbian mammoth skull and tusks have been uncovered in Idaho, and experts say a rare entire skeleton might be buried there. Experts estimate the mammoth was about 16 years old and lived about 70,000 to 120,000 years ago in what was a savanna-like country populated with large herbivores and predators.

The International Space Station has to sidestep a piece of junk on the same day that a Virginia company is sending fresh supplies. NASA says debris from an old, wrecked Russian satellite was due to come dangerously close to the orbiting lab Monday afternoon — a gap of just two-tenths of a mile. To keep the station and its six inhabitants safe, the station was going to manoeuvre well out of harm’s way.
Mission Control says the move won’t affect Monday evening’s planned launch of a commercial supply ship. Orbital Sciences Corp.’s unmanned Cygnus capsule holds 5,000 pounds of cargo, including mini research satellites. Liftoff is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. (2245 GMT) from Wallops Island, Virginia. The launch, coming a half-hour after sunset, should be visible along much of the Eastern Seaboard.
