Another deer count coming Is Kimberley’s urban deer population on the rise again? C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
There was no deer cull last year, and there does not appear to be an appetite on City Council for one any time soon. However, anecdotal evidence would suggest that the number of deer in Kimberley is rising again. Councillor Darryl Oakley, Council representative on the Urban Deer Committee, told Council this week that another deer population count will be conducted in November. These counts have been taking place for the past
couple of years, coordinated by the Ministry of Environment’s Irene Teske. Oakley says that not only does Kimberley not want to lose the count by not doing one this year, but the data is important. Mayor Ron McRae said that he recently spent some time with Deer Committee Chair Gary Glinz talking about the role of the committee and how it may need to be refreshed. “The City continues to support the efforts of the deer committee,” McRae said. “We are very proud of the educational component taking place. “However, the question of a cull continues to be there and the new council will need to sink their teeth into the issue.” See DEER, page 4
TRANSPORTATION ISSUES
City to meet with MOT C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Mayor Ron McRae will be attending a meeting with the Ministry of Transportation this week, as the province seeks input on transportation priorities for their 10-year transportation plan. Kimberley has a number of issues, but Coun. Kent Goodwin thinks the most important is that of the St. Mary Lake Road and getting the province to take control of it as an arterial highway. The City of Kimberley has been fighting for several years to have the province retake control of the road, to no avail. Goodwin says getting the province to agree could
potentially save the city hundreds of thousands of dollars. There was some discussion on whether to present just one issue or all. Counc. Don McCormick said he would like to see all the issues raised, to get them on the radar screen, while Goodwin said taking one issue and hammering away at it might be more productive. In the end it was decided that McRae would bring up the St. Mary Road first and feel out whether the MOT would be receptive to a more extensive list. Other issues include the Overwaitea Hill and the Wallinger Avenue bridge.

EXTREME HUNTRESS
Dalke competes in archery challenge TRE VOR CR AWLEY Townsman Stuff
The ladies were back out on the range in Texas, as the fourth episode of Extreme Huntress aired this past weekend. Although Nikita Dalke wasn’t hunting, she partnered up with fellow competitor Erika Bergmark, who was searching for a fourhorned Jacob sheep. All six of the Extreme Huntress competitors also participated in an archery challenge with a traditional recurve bow. The episode began with South Africa’s Margaret Botha, who was on the hunt for an Iranian red sheep, but
she was unable to find her specific animal out on the 777 Ranch pastures. Back at the ranch, Dalke resumed a segment of anit-hunting abuse, where she had to respond to hostile statements about hunters and their motivations. This time, one of the judges questioned how fair it was for the animals to be hunted with the kind of weaponry available now. “They [animals] have their own way of evading you and surviving. It’s what they do, it’s not about a game or a sport, it’s about helping the wildlife flourish, helping them survive so that other generations have them around so they don’t need a
weapon, they have their senses and their senses are way better than ours,” said Dalke. “With a deer, that is what they do to get away from predators and predators have their own way of protecting themselves so it’s a lot more fair than what they think.” Australia’s Christie Pisani got the chance to go out for her hunt, with a one-horned Sitka deer as her objective. However, she was unable to find the animal out in the ranch pastures. Dalke did get back out for another expedition, but she was partnered up with Sweden’s Erika Bergmark, who was on the hunt for a Jacob
four-horned sheep. It was in the same area where Dalke bagged her Black Hawaiian sheep two episodes ago. “I knew the area because that’s where I shot my Hawaiian,” said Dalke. “So she asked me for some advice, just about the sheep and that. “I told her what I knew and stuff, where I found the sheep and it was all her decision on what she wanted to do and she went off on a different path.” The two were able to find a herd of sheep inside some thick brush, but not of the four-horned variety that they were looking for.

Symphony at the head of the classics Inaugural Symphony of the Kootenays concert features heavyweight works from the likes of Sibelius and Dvorak
Barry Coulter
The Symphony of the Kootenays launched its new season with a dynamic concert at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook, Saturday, Oct. 25. Among the many notable aspects of the concert was the fact that it was the largest ever gathering of musicians the Symphony had ever featured — 49, including Artistic and Music Direct Jeff Faragher. The theme of the concert was “From Old Worlds To New,” and featured a trio of powerful classical works that drew on folk-music traditions. First on the bill was the symphonic poem “Finlandia (Opus 26), composed by Jean Sibelius in 1899 as a covert protest against increasing censorship in Finland from the Russian Empire, and the composer’s most famous composition. The piece featured the entire orchestra.
Following “Finlandia,” the Symphony’s string section took the stage as a chamber orchestra, to play the wonderful Holberg Suite by Norwegian Edvard Grieg, a suite of five movements based on 18th century dance forms. After the intermission, the entire orchestra performed Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 (“From the New World”). This powerful work, the composer’s most famous, featured themes derived from Native American and African-American music the composer heard during a trip to America. Close to 400 attended the season’s inaugural concert. The Symphony’s next performance takes place Saturday, Dec. 6, at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. “A Celtic Christmas” will feature the Symphony of the Kootenays accompanying Celtic harpist and singer

a year’s hiatus under Faragher’s baton. One disappointment for the organization this year is the absence of concerts in other Kootenay communities such as Nelson and Invermere. Symphony President Ian Adams says this is due to scheduling conflicts in these communities and funding issues, and that the Symphony’s Board of Directors is looking at ways to increase performances
around the region. Among other highlights of the evening, Adams noted “the French Horn section was as good as I’ve heard the Symphony of the Kootenays. And the strings brought Holberg Suite to life. Jeff Faragher brought out the best in all of them. In particular, the ‘fiddling competition’ between violinist Wendy Herbison and violist Graham Tagg was so lively. Anne
Scott’s solo cello parts were amazing, and when joined by the rest of the cellos the passages were beautiful.” Adams also noted the solo woodwind passages throughout the Dvorak symphony, and the excellence of the double bass section — “three people who rarely get much recognition, I’m always amazed at the intensity of the sound three instruments can produce.”

Wild & Scenic Film Fest For the Bulletin
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival Tour is stopping in Kimberley on November 8th for a cinematic evening of stories set in wild landscapes around the world. Join Wildsight for a journey to spectacular places and tales of adventurers living life outside— all with a conservation mindset. The Wild & Scenic Film Fest, North America’s largest environmental film festival, will bring two hours of the beautiful, the exciting and the inspiring to the big screen at McKim Theatre on November 8th for two screenings: 7:30 p.m. and a special children’s program, suitable for ages four to ten, at 4 p.m. From big kayak drops and big ski lines, to journeys to the glaciers of Africa, the wilds of Patagonia, and meditations on life in the outdoors, Wild & Scenic is the perfect mix of action, exploration and beauty. The festival also features humorous films, a visit to BC’s sacred headwaters, fishing high in Colorado’s Rockies and an inspiring story about female climbers reaching higher. “For the Wild & Scenic Film Fest, we are offering our members act discounted ticket price of $15,” said Wildsight’s Lars Sander-Green, “and we welcome new members to join us - lifetime Wildsight memberships are just $20.” Regular price tickets are $18 in advance or $20 at the door for the evening. The children’s matinee is $7 for children, $10 for adults ($7 for members). Tickets are available from Wildsight at wildsight.ca/ wildandscenic. “With the success of 20 years of the Best of Banff Film Festival World Tour in Cranbrook, which sells out every year,” added Sander-Green, “we are excited to bring another inspiring and exciting film fest to the area - and to be able to offer a special children’s program.” Beer and wine will be available at intermission. All proceeds support Wildsight’s environmental projects in
Kimberley and Cranbrook. The festival schedule includes: Last Light: To capture the alpenglow - that singularly lit moment that turns powder into frozen red fire - you must live all day in the midst of them; ready to drop in long after the helicopters have gone home and your line is made magic in the last of the light. Cascada: Tangled vines. Endless rain. Dodgy hotel rooms. Mud. Biting flies. Aggressive viruses…Perfection. Is this a vacation? Join the hunt in the remote Mexican jungle for the perfect waterfall. El Campo es Vida: Javier Vera is a third generation gaucho living in Patagonia, Chile - a region that has deteriorated significantly due to agricultural use by previous generations of gauchos. Of Souls + Water: The Mother: The life of a woman – her life, her dreams, her legacy – painted on the canvas of still waters in deep. Two Laps: Val and Pete have been swimming together every morning for the past seventeen years. Once a year they have a race, two laps up and back. Snows of the Nile: Uganda’s Rwenzori Mountains rise 5000m from the heart of Africa. At their summits are some of Earth’s only equatorial glaciers … but they are changing fast. The Man Who Lived On His Bike: 382 days spent riding through the streets of Montreal, being sometimes quite cold, sometimes quite hot - and sometimes quite scared. Of Souls + Water: Shapeshifter: On the massive waves of Canada’s great rivers, the Shapeshifter conjures his magic, transforming from a charming rogue to a wild creature in flight. High Altitude Fish Hunters: Join adventurers as they hike above treeline with blow-up SUP boards and camo disguises all to fly-fish for Colorado’s Greenback Cutthroats. Sacred Headwaters: The shared birthplace of
three salmon rivers in Northern Canada, the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation, and home to an incredible ecosystem of large mammals. 13th German Deer Calling Championship: Eight gentleman and a lady battle for the championship, including “the young deer”, “two deers in a calling battle” and “old deer with two hinds”. Ryan’s Stories: Living in poverty for as long as he remembers, Ryan Hudson grew up in and out of homeless shelters. At 14, Ryan was introduced to snowboarding and his life took a 180. Push It: Two women prepare for their first ever big wall - El Capitan in Yosemite, which goes far from smoothly from start to finish. The children’s program includes: Elk Grass: This animated music video the viewer floats in and out through space around the lonely mountain, Elk Mountain, capturing the serenity and isolation inherent in nature. The Joy of Air: “Leave the ground beneath your feet, Rise up, your inner legend greet. A body in motion – Twisting, turning, churning, yearning –Apex found, heaven bound.” Rock Wall Climbing: How do big wall climbers get their start? With little walls, of course. This may be the case for 8-year-old climber Kathrin Houston. Calling for Climate Recovery: Meet Jaime Lynn Butler, an 11-year old Navajo artist. Jaime lives in the American Southwest where the intensifying effects of climate change have made drought the new normal. Moonwalk: Dean Potter highlines across a desert landscape with a massive full moon as his backdrop. Raptor Blues: A musical stop motion animation explaining the dangerous effects of rodenticides on birds of prey in a way that everyone can understand. Watermelon Magic: A season on the family farm, as young Sylvie grows a patch of watermelons to sell at market.

Another deer count From page 1 McRae also said that not much has happened with the provincial task force on urban deer, promised in 2013, but that he has been speaking with concerned residents, especially in Marysville, about increasing population numbers. “It’s not going to go off the radar,” he said. Oakley says the possibility of a tanslocation test project is likely a year away, but an exciting option. “It would be a research project with
various East Kootenay communities involved,” he said. “One of the most important things to monitor would be mortality and where it is occurring. There are so many variables. But it would be a very interesting trial and I hope it happens.” Oakley says he personally thinks culling invites potential litigation from animal rights groups, so any alternatives are better. “The more tools we have, the better,” he said.

The hunt continues From page 1 “That was the only band of rams we found while hunting in the area,” she said. Towards the end of the episode, all the ladies participated in an archery challenge, where they had to fire off five arrows from a traditional recurve bow at 25 yards. The recurve wasn’t all that powerful with a draw weight of only 35 pounds. Dalke has bowhunting experience, but with a compound bow, which utilizes pulleys
and sights for more accurate shooting. There is very much a difference in the shooting styles between the two different types of bows. “I shoot a compound bow, so I’m used to a compound,” said Dalke. “When we picked up the recurve, you could tell which girls shoot compound bow, because you automatically go into a natural stance when you’re shooting one. “With a recurve, it’s a totally different stance.” Despite having never
picked up a bow before, Bergmark won the competition, putting three arrows into the target. Next week, Dalke will get back out on the range for another hunt, where she will try her hand hunting a hybrid animal that, as she says, “shouldn’t be there.” After every episode airs, people can send in their support for each of the six Extreme Huntress candidates.

Preliminary inquiry set for alleged Kootenay robbers NELSON STAR
Two people charged in a series of hold-ups at local financial institutions will have their preliminary inquiries on January 28 and 29. Andrew Stevenson, 34, appeared in Nelson provincial court this week by videolink from jail in Kamloops, still using the crutches he threw off in a September 15 escape attempt. Stevenson faces 21 charges in the robberies of 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. The counts include robbery, possession of a restricted weapon,

pointing a firearm, and possession of stolen property over $5,000. His co-accused, Krista Kalmikoff, 26, is accused in the Nelson robberies and Castlegar break-ins. She did not appear in court today. Both were 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. Kalmikoff is free on bail but
Stevenson remains in custody. Kalmikoff’s lawyer previously indicated she will seek a jury trial. A pre-trial conference will be held Dec. 2. Stevenson will also have an arraignment hearing the same day on a new count of escaping custody. Preliminary inquiries are used to determine if there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.

EDITORIAL
What colour is the national mood ring?
A
fter an emotional week in politics, let us all hope that life can return to normal — although maybe with 50 per cent less vitriol and backstabbing. In any event, MPs are back to work, and the political life of the nation goes on. Let’s check up on tidbits from across the country, shall we? What colour is the mood ring? Here’s an interesting one. An independent study has found that when communicating with taxpayers, Revenue Canada is often indecipherable, sometimes threatening, and full of gobbledegook. Gobbledegook is the scientific term used by a New York-based consulting firm, which conducted the study. I think it means piffle, twaddle or poppycock. Now having myself been the recipient of such a letter, informing me I was about to have the pleasure of being scre.. uh, audited, I can only say I agree with the study’s findings. Especially the threatening part. The tone of the letter was ‘we have finally caught up with you, cheating infidel, and now you will pay’. It was not a nice letter. And after finally figuring out all that this particular tax agent required, I sent all the information in and was promptly denied my tax return and told I owed Revenue Canada money. That letter was pretty clear. All claims denied. Good times. Can’t wait for tax time to roll around again, although apparently Revenue Canada has promised to clean up their act by February. We’ll see. My personal mood ring on this is still the
darkest black. Over in Manitoba, Premier Greg Selinger can only be referred to as embattled. And it’s not just the opposition trying to bring him down. Half of Selinger’s NDP caucus wants him gone as well. Selinger’s misfortune comes about because he raised the provincial sales tax and the populace is not impressed. It is interesting, in the topsy-turvy (there’s another of those scientific terms) world of politics, how sometimes something like a one percent rise in the sales tax can bring a career to an end and at other times the voting public shrug it off. Just depends on the mood of the day I guess. Manitoba’s mood ring is also dark this week.
Carolyn Grant Also interesting was the Toronto mayoral election, with the results proving polls correct. John Tory took the win. Not surprising. He came across as sober and competent, which was a change Torontonians were no doubt looking for. What perplexes me is that Doug Ford came second, leaving Olivia Chow in the dust. I just do not comprehend that at all. I mean, even if you lean right politically, Doug Ford? In some ways
he comes across even worse than his brother, the former Mayor. Bullying behaviour, blind allegiance to his brother no matter what, he was a loose cannon at Toronto City Hall often dropping bombs to the press before his brother the Mayor was even aware of them. Yet he beat Olivia Chow, with her long political resume, by 10 percentage points. Toronto’s continuing love affair with the Fords remains a mystery to me. In fact, I wonder if Rob Ford hadn’t had his very unfortunate health diagnosis, if we wouldn’t be looking at four more years of Mayor Rob Ford? A perplexing city. Thankfully, I do not live there and therefore will not have to explain how this all came about. Toronto’s mood ring is a confusing mix of contradictory colours. Closer to home, it appears that some of the promised LNG windfall is going to have to wait. British oil and gas producer BG Group PLC says it will possibly be ten years before it goes ahead with a liquefied natural-gas export terminal in Prince Rupert. The company says the timing isn’t right, which I think is the business-world equivalent of “it’s not you, it’s me”. Eighteen LNG terminals have been proposed for BC and none have got the go ahead. For a government that ran on promises of LNG riches this is not good news. LNG was to carry us to great wealth and prosperity and now the timing isn’t right. I think the mood ring on LNG just went from rosy to dark blue.

Three elections offer hope for the future What’s Up? L ast Sunday was a busy day: three elections, in three different continents, all of them offering at least the hope of better times. First, Brazil, where President Dilma Rousseff eked out a second-round victory with 51.6 percent of the votes versus 48.4 percent for the challenger, Aecio Neves. But Neves was quick to acknowledge her victory, and she was equally prompt in admitting that things had to change. “Sometimes in history, close outcomes trigger results more quickly than ample victories,” she said. Most people took that as an admission that she will have to give more attention to growing the economy and a little less to redistributing the proceeds. This will not come easily to her, for the great project of the Workers’ Party (PT) under both Rousseff and her iconic predecessor Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva has been to raise the living standards of poor Brazilians. They have done very well at it, but there was a cost. The overall economy grew fast when “Lula” was in office, but it has slowed almost to a stall under Rousseff. That is not surprising, for it is hard to persuade business to invest when you are busy redistributing income. Now Dilma will have to change her priorities and encourage business – without surrendering the improvements in the lives of the poor. She seems to understand that, and if she can succeed in entrenching those changes while reviving the economy then she really will have changed Brazil for good. The voters have given her another four years to work on it, and that may be enough.
Secondly, Ukraine. The killing in the south-east has tailed off – only 300 dead in sporadic clashes around Donetsk in almost two months since the ceasefire, compared to 3,400 in the previous four and a half months – and the new frontier with the pro-Russian breakaway areas has solidified. That, plus the Russian annexation of Crimea, excluded some three million people from the vote, but for 36 million other registered voters the election went off quite peacefully.
Gwynne Dyer The result was a landslide. “More than three-quarters of voters who took part in the polls gave strong and irreversible backing to Ukraine’s path to Europe,” President Petro Poroshenko told a news conference in Kiev. With half the ballots counted, his own Solidarity Party and the People’s Front led by his ally, former prime minister Arseny Yatseniuk, each had 21.5 percent of the vote, with another pro-European party, Self Help, winning 11 percent. Ukraine is not out of the woods. Russia can turn up the fighting again, or just keep its gas exports turned off and condemn the country to a grim winter. The economy is still shrinking and jobs are disappearing fast. But at least Ukraine will now have a government that is both legitimate
and more or less united. Last but not least, Tunisia, the country where the Arab Spring began – and just about the only one where it did not fail. The surprise there was that the secular Nidaa Tounes Party (Tunisia’s Call), formed only last year, out-polled the Ennahda Party, a moderate Islamist party that led the first post-revolutionary coalition government. Some kind of coalition will still be necessary, as neither party won half the seats in parliament, and it may be a broad coalition that includes them both. But there is a lesson here for Egypt, although it comes a bit late. As a member of Ennahda’s political bureau told the BBC, “This result is fine. I am not really surprised. Governments that are leading during a political transition are often punished at the polls.” Egypt threw away its democracy last year, only one year after the Muslim Brotherhood, a moderate Islamist party, won the first free election after the Egyptian revolution. President Mohamed Morsi was less tactful and more eager to impose his Islamic project on the country than Ennahda’s leaders, but he was not doing anything that would be irreversible after another election. In Egypt, as in Tunisia, a second election would probably have seen the Islamist party evicted from power; all the disappointed secular leaders of the revolution had to do was wait. Instead, they made an alliance with the army to overthrow Morsi – and now the army rules the country again. Elections are messy, divisive affairs, but they are far better than any of the alternatives.
It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of October 26 – November 1 Dave Humphrey
Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1898 An Editor Travels … The man who has lived in South East Kootenay and failed to take the trip from Cranbrook to Macleod, has been derelict in his duty to himself and his country. The Crows Nest Pass line is destined to be the scenic route across western Canada, and in the years that are to follow the completion of this road thousands will sing paeans of praise on the grand panorama presented to view along that line. From the time when you leave the yards at Cranbrook, where one catches fleeting glimpses of the ranges of both the Selkirks and the Rockies, until the train rolls onto the great plain where the town of Macleod is located, it is one continuous display of mountain scenery that is grand and sublime. Wrong Lot Solved …J. T. Forrest, who arrived in Cranbrook the latter part of last week, soon straightened out the tangle caused by occupying
a wrong lot for his hotel building, by purchasing the property, and immediately resumed work on the structure. The lot upon which Mr. Forrest erected his hotel building through mistake, has been purchased by that gentleman for $600, an advance of 100 per cent over the original purchase price. Females Only … Everybody knows that the school trustees have advertised for a teacher, but everybody does not know that no males need apply. Bridge Needed …A bridge is sadly needed across the big ditch on the way to Mr. Baker’s. The residents of that part of the town and the mill people are put to much unnecessary inconvenience by having to wade shin deep when they want to come down town. Lost … On road between Cranbrook and Fort Steele, Tuesday, October 18, a lady’s blue serge cape. Finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving same at the Cranbrook Hotel. Shotgun Accident … Mr. S. McLean was brought to Cranbrook yesterday from Baker Bottoms on the Kootenay River, with a badly shattered left hand, caused by the explosion of a shotgun. Mr. McLean was
after coyotes, and by some mistake his gun had received a double charge and when fired the barrel burst where the left hand grasped it. He was brought to this place as soon as possible and placed in the hands of Doctor Archibald and Druggist Beattie. Chloroform was administered and the wound dressed. The hand is badly shattered but the doctor thinks it can be saved. 1899 “The Emporium”… See our furs. New dress goods and trimmings to match. Complete line ladies’ and gent’s gloves, mitts, new stock rubbers, overshoes and gum boots, Ladies’ Dolge felt slippers. Try our Orange, Pekoe and Gunpowder tea. Quality the best, prices right. Sherlock & Bremner. Held the Bondsman ... The case against Walter Turnbull, charged with taking $100 from the stocking of one Pearl Ransom in this city a few months ago, was called in Nelson last week. Constable Barnes had the complaining witness in court, but the defendant was missing, having discovered that the climate of South East Kootenay was injurious to his health. He had given bonds in the sum of $500, and the court
held his bondsmen for the amount. Pay Rolls … The pay rolls in Cranbrook now aggregate over $ 15,000. That is a pretty good item to carry a town through the natural dullness of a winter season. Outrage … Cranbrook has over one hundred children of school age, and only one school room and one teacher. It is an outrage to permit such a condition of affairs. Post Office Times …After November 1st the post office will not be opened on Sunday. Postmaster Beattie says that six days in one week is enough for any man. 1900 Horses Frightened … Last Friday, when the Indian band was marching past the livery stables, a team belonging to James Ryan, which was tied inside of the barn, became frightened and created a little excitement. One of the horses was badly cut, and the rigs lightly damaged. New School House ... A. D. Grant was the successful bidder for the contract to build the new school, and work was commenced last Monday morning.

Charity Challenge Boxing a total knockout Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The Charity Boxing Challenge was a total knockout in its second year at Eagles Hall Oct. 25. After raising more than $20,000 for local families in need in its first year, the local charity boxing event has smashed that mark. With donations still coming in, the event has raised $28,494 as of 4 p.m. on Oct. 29. “I’m absolutely blown away,” said organizer Tom White Wednesday afternoon. “I can’t believe the crowd that we had open their wallets. It was just amazing. We had some guys that were bidding on two, three and four items. Thank you, thank you, thank you to those guys and the guys who stepped up and jumped into the ring to raise money. That was awesome of them, too.” White, along with three others, comprise a panel that determine
how funds will be distributed within the community. If you know a family or person in need, you are encouraged to contact Tom White at tom@freightlinercbk. com. Nominations are still being accepted. Those in attendance were treated to an electrifying night of boxing, which first featured 14 amateur bouts prior to five charity bouts between local tough guys and tough gals. As the host, the local Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club welcomed the Calgary Southpaw Boxing Club, Salmon Arm Bulldogs Boxing Club, Lethbridge Boxing Club, Nelson Boxing Club and the Cougar Boxing Club of Edmonton. Highlighting the night of amateur fights was a bout featuring local boxer Jared Luke and Kyle Woolman of the Southpaw Boxing Club. The pair of 75-kilo boxers went toe-to-toe in a fast-paced first round. A more methodi-
cal second round finished with a flurried exchange between the two. With the bout on the line in the third round, Luke and Woolman left it all in the ring, exchanging heavy blows. Woolman won the fight in a split decision, but at the end of the evening both fighters were acknowledged as having put forth the Best Bout of the Night. Woolman also took home the title of Best Youth Boxer. Triston MacWilliams, another Southpaw boxer, earned the Best Junior Boxer award for his second-round technical knockout of Lethbridge’s Thomas Beck. Salmon Arm’s Dan Gawley earned the title of Best Senior Boxer after scoring a firstround technical knockout of Lethbridge’s Ryley Ferguson. On the strength of two exhilarating performances forms Woolman and MacWilliam, Calgary’ Southpaw Boxing Club was recognized
with the Best Team Award. The much-anticipated return of Cranbrook boxer Brandon Luke was put on hold. Luke was slated to go up against Cougar Boxing Club’s Taha Rizvi, but an injury forced the Edmonton boxer out of action. Coach Bill Watson was able to pull together a last-minute exhibition match for Luke, who instead fought Fuji Blut of the Cougar Boxing Club. For Blut, it was his first time in an organized fight, while Luke had a perfect 6-0 record already under his belt. “[Brandon] was able to get some ring rust off,” Watson said Wednesday afternoon. “I was quite happy with his performance. I had to yell at him to back off a bit there because he was putting his combinations together and his opponent, being less experienced, just wasn’t prepared for it. “[Brandon] wanted to put on a good show.

Closing the evening was a handful of charity bouts, the first of which pitted the fast-firing Rothwell brothers, Trip and Chase, against one another. Mike Peabody and Joey Sandberg, of The Choice snowboard shop, followed up the brotherly bout with their own battle between best friends. Sue Eimer and Emma Jonsson went toe-to-toe, exchanging

some heavy shots. In a mismatch of physical proportions, B-104’s Derek Kortschaga took on organizer Tom White. Adorned in super-hero garb, complete with capes on his socks, White scored a victory for the minimites, taking down Kortschaga with a heavy uppercut. The blow slowed Kortschaga and for a brief moment, it appeared as though the officials were going to be forced to stop the bout. The final bout of the night matched Randy “The Moose” Rothwell against Steve “The Bulldog” Mercandelli. The two heavyweights battle for three feisty rounds

than 6-foot-5 Bumgarner, who added to his post-season legacy with a third victory this Series. After Gregor Blanco misplayed Alex Gordon’s drive for a single and two-base error, Bumgarner got Salvador Perez to pop foul to third baseman Pablo Sandoval for the final out. The Giants ended a Series streak that had seen home teams win the last nine Game 7s. San Francisco took this pairing of wild-card teams after earning titles in 2012 and 2010. Pitching on two days’ rest after his shutout in Game 5, Bumgarner entered in the fifth with a 3-2 lead. After giving up a leadoff single to Omar Infante, he shut down the Royals.

Ice part ways with Steenbergen
Thunderstruck in Creston Valley Dynamiters dropped in double OT; G Tyson Brouwer lost to injury
TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor
The Kimberley Dynamiters dropped a physical 4-3 decision to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in double overtime Wednesday night at Johnny Bucyk Memorial Arena. Thunder Cats forward Mason Mazur buried the winner with 3:04 remaining into the threeon-three overtime period, crashing in the crease of Tyson Brouwer. As the Thunder Cats celebrated their sixth
win of the KIJHL season, Brouwer was tended to by team officials before requiring the assistance of two others in order to leave the ice. While the overtime defeat to a divisional opponent could weigh heavily down the stretch, the potential loss of Brouwer could be even worse. According to Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks, Brouwer suffered a suspected MCL injury. He was being sent to hospital for further examination.
To make matters worse, Nitros backup goaltender Liam McBain is battling strep throat and isn’t expected to be available in time for Friday’s contest with the Osoyoos Coyotes. Brouwer wasn’t the only Dynamiter to go down in a heap over the course of Wednesday’s contest. Forward Coy Prevost tallied two assists in the first period before getting bowled over along the boards late in the third. He remained mo-

tionless on the ice before needing assistance to get to the visitors bench. Defenceman Jordan Busch came into the fray in defence of Prevost. After getting tagged with a fighting major during the final 10 minutes of the third period, it is expected Busch will be suspended for the next two games. The Nitros built a 3-0 lead late in the first period before surrounding four consecutive goals to the Thunder Cats. Brouwer was once again stellar between the pipes for the Dynamiters, turning aside 40 shots. At the other end, Brock Lefebvre grabbed the overtime win with a 27-save performance. Lost was another three-point performance from Tyson Klingspohn (2G, 1A), who leads the KIJHL with 17 goals in 16 games.

The Kootenay Ice have parted ways with 18-year-old defenceman Jordan Steenbergen. “It was a mutual parting of the ways,” said Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth. “He wasn’t going to be happy being a number-six, seven or eight defenceman or on the fourth line [as a] forward. “He wanted to play more and we couldn’t guarantee that. We reached a mutual decision to part ways.”

The move was announced via Twitter Wednesday morning. It is expected that Steenbergen will report to the Olds Grizzlys of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. According to Chynoweth, the Ice will retain Steenbergen’s WHL rights. Steenbergen played one full season in Cranbrook, tallying three assists in 49 games during the 2013-14 WHL campaign. “Thanks to the @ WHLKootenayICE for giving me an opportunity to play and be a part of this organization the last year and a half,” Steenbergen tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “And a huge thank you to my billets and teammates. I am very excited for what the future holds! #newbeginnings” The native of Sylvan Lake, Alta. was pointless
in 12 games to start the 2014-15 WHL season. A natural defenceman, the return of import blue liner Rinat Valiev saw Steenbergen shifted up to the Ice’s forward ranks. In last night’s 5-0 loss to the Prince Albert Raiders, Steenbergen began the game skating on left wing alongside Vince Loschiavo and Levi Cable. In 62 career WHL games, all with the Ice, Steenbergen registered three assists, a minus-seven rating and 86 penalty minutes. The Ice drafted the 6-foot, 192-pound defenceman in the third round (61st overall) of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. The release reduces the Ice roster to 23, including 14 forwards, seven defencemen and two goaltenders.

Hockey Canada marks 100 years of stewardship at home & abroad Donna Spencer Canadian Press
CALGARY — While Canada has grown as a country over the last century, so to has it evolved as a hockey nation. Hockey Canada is marking 100 years of overseeing the sport domestically and producing teams for the world stage. Just a few weeks after Canada entered the First World War, a group of hockey executives met in Ottawa on Dec. 14, 1914, to establish the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. Hockey runs like a bright thread through Canada’s timeline since then. The sport intertwines with pivotal events in the country’s history. Many a Canadian soldier left the ice for the
battlefield in both the First and Second World Wars. Many of those who returned continued to play or took on leadership as coaches and administrators. The same year Canada celebrated its centennial in 1967, the CAHA established its first national head office in Winnipeg. A year later, the CAHA became Hockey Canada with the mandate to manage Canada’s national hockey teams as well as develop the sport across the country. Hockey Canada will release the book “It’s Our Game” on Tuesday. The 399 pages of text and photos commemorate the last 100 years of the country’s triumphs, failures and dramas in hockey. “For me, the first 100 years, the legacy has to be our culture and how hockey has played a huge role in the fabric of our people, of our country, of our reputation world-wide,” Tom Renney, Hockey Canada’s president and CEO, said
Monday. “I think we’re deeply respected for our ability to play the game, to lead in terms of its development both domestically and abroad. “Beyond that, I think Canadians as citizens are looked at globally as being very special people and I think hockey’s had a lot to do with the development of those values.” As the birthplace of hockey, Canada took on the role of world leader in it. But it’s been the response to crisis that’s helped the country continue to claim ownership of it, Renney said. Canada may have won the 1972 Summit Series, but adopting some of the off-ice training methods of the former Soviet Union was necessary lest Canadians fall behind. National hockey summits were held when it was felt the sport was sliding off the rails. “I think Canada and its population are a humble people,” Renney said. “I think hockey gives us an opportunity
to sign our work if you will on the national and international stage as being very, very good at it. “That being said, I think the times we have tripped up have been very good to us. Because of that humility, we’ve embraced failure quite honestly and made ourselves better.” “It’s Our Game” (Viking, $39.95) is heavy on Canada’s performances at world championships and Winter Olympics in the century’s first half. It also incorporates the off-ice intrigue and skulduggery between countries during those early tournaments. The book expands in scope in the second half of the century when women’s hockey rose in profile and sledge hockey emerged alongside the Paralympic movement. Hockey Canada’s mission heading into the next century continues to be increasing participation in the game while also producing players for the sport’s
highest levels. Hockey Canada, with its headquarters now in Calgary, has just over 640,000 registered players, almost 100,000 coaches and another 32,000 officials. “What makes us special is we’re able to connect the dots from discovering the game in the first place and having a great deal of fun playing it, but also making an opportunity for people to follow one of two streams,” Renney said. “Play the recreational game for a lifetime and have an awful lot of fun doing that and still be the doctor, the bus driver, the lawyer, the teacher, whatever the case may be, but great Canadians, or you can find a way to play professional hockey with all those same attributes but make a living playing the game. I think that’s what really separates Canada apart from other countries.” The recent emphasis on player safety and concussions are the issues linking the end of Hock-
ey Canada’s first century with the start of the second. The advent of the hockey visor gets its own chapter in the book. “The protection of the player through equipment has come a long, long way obviously,” Renney said. “You can look at the photos of years gone by and just see how much protection they have now compared to back then. “The rules of the game and how they’re called are important, but of late especially, the attention to player safety is at the forefront from the little people in minor hockey all the way up to the National Hockey League. That’s quite significant.” Renney was named head of Hockey Canada in June after 16 years with Bob Nicholson at the helm. But Renney was also involved in the organization as a coach, on and off, for the last 22 years while he also coached in the NHL. He was head coach of the Canadian men when they operated as a
full-time team back in the 1990s. Their shootout loss to Sweden in the gold-medal game at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, is one of the hockey heartbreaks chronicled in the book. The ‘72 Summit Series, the 1987 Canada Cup, the Canadian junior team’s runs of golds and the women’s pitched battles with the U.S. are among the highlights. “There are so many. The ‘72 Summit Series was a watershed moment for all of us,” Renney said. “We all understand where we were and what we were doing at that time. The ‘87 Canada Cup was incredible with respect to the winning goal and how that whole series was played. “There’s been many, many more. One hundred years is an awful long time and for those of us who are kind of historians of the game as well and dig into the past so we can help identify with the future, it’s awfully tough to come up with one or two.”

The tournament will be hosted at Mount Baker Secondary School and College of the Rockies, with 20 of B.C.’s top secondary girls volleyball teams travelling to Cranbrook in search of provincial glory. The Mount Baker Wild are off to a strong start this fall, claiming their first tournament title in Invermere last weekend. MBSS finished second in round-robin play with Selkirk Secondary School taking first. The two teams met in the tournament finale, with the Wild exacting revenge on their Kimberley rival. Selkirk will host its own senior girls volleyball tournament Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 in Kimberley. The Wild will be in attendance as they look for their second consecutive tournament victory.

B.C. school strike daycare cheques are in the mail C anadian Press
VICTORIA - Finance Minister Mike de Jong says government cheques are in the mail to help British Columbia’s parents cover daycare costs incurred during the recent teachers’ strike. The Liberals introduced a temporary education-support pay-
ment of $40 a day to help parents of students 12 years old and under pay for learning and supervision. De Jong says the payments apply to the first 13 days of school from Sept. 2 until Sept. 18, when teachers ratified their collective agreement. The 13 days adds up
to $520, and the payment is not taxable. De Jong says 97 per cent of eligible families have registered to receive the payment and the government has mailed out 165,000 cheques. Parents have until Jan. 31, 2015 to register for the payments.
Protesters interrupt pipeline survey work on possible mountain route C anadian Press
RCMP officers watched as some protesters confronted a Trans Mountain survey crew, yelling “go back to Texas,” while another protester crawled under a survey crew’s SUV, wrapped himself around the front tire and refused to leave. Stephen Collis, a
spokesman for the protesters who call themselves the Caretakers, said they plan to hunker down. “We’re currently occupying the space that they have identified that they need to work in. Since we’re on public land, we have every right to be here,” he said. “They can’t really work
in a space that’s filled with dozens of people. That’s the intention.” The plan worked, at least for the day. Workers left in another vehicle, and one man carried several signs under his arm that read No Entry Until Further Notice and Field Testing Area Under Order of the National Energy Board.

Your body is amazing. It is a super computer that never makes mistakes. It knows when to go to sleep, when to go to the bathroom, your heart beats and your lungs breathe without you telling it to, the body maintains a temperature, repairs itself when wounded, plus it can even create life! When we are experiencing cravings, it is our body’s way of telling us what it needs. Unfortunately, we can get the message confused. When experiencing a craving the best thing to do is ask yourself what does my body want and why? There are many reasons behind cravings lack of primary foods, water, yin-yang imbalance, food we recently ate, seasonal cravings, lack of nutrients, hormonal, or even self sabotage. I am going to share with you my secret for fighting cravings. The tongue cleaner. Tongue cleaners are usually thin U shaped tools made of stainless steel or plastic, that re-

Responding to the anti-hunter FJ Hurtak
As hunters, sooner or later you’ll likely meet someone who disagrees with the sport altogether. The question is, how will you respond when you do? For everyone it may be different but, personally, I make no apologies to anyone for my hunting heritage. If someone tries to discredit the sport, I defend it vociferously. A few years ago, I was attending a political meeting at one of the hotels in town. After the business part of the meeting was over, people were mingling and engaging in idle chatter. A young lady, who happened to work for one of the local papers, asked me why I had not attended the meeting held the week before. I explained to her that I was on vacation and had spent the time in the mountains in pursuit of a bull elk. “You mean hunting?” she exclaimed. By the way she said it I knew that, what was once a polite conversation could turn antagonistic very quickly. “Yes, hunting,” I said. “Do you see anything wrong with that?” “Oh, I don’t believe anyone should be allowed to go out with a weapon and kill one of God’s beautiful creations. It’s just not right,” she retorted. The lid had been lifted from the proverbial can of worms, so I waded right in. “If I may, first let me ask you a question. Do you eat meat at all or are you a vegetarian?” “Of course I eat meat,” she stammered. “Most people do.” “Then you believe that it’s okay to kill living creatures and eat their flesh, as long as someone else kills it for you?” I remarked. “That’s completely different,” she stated. “Those animals are raised to be killed for human consumption. They’re not like wild elk or deer.” “Dead is dead,” I replied. “I think if you could ask the cows, pigs, turkeys, chickens, and even fish, if they preferred to have their life cut short for whatever reason, it’s reasonable to assume their answer would be a negative one.” At this point the conversation took a surpris-
ing turn. ‘Well, I’ll give you this,” she said. “No one has quite put it that way before. I’m not likely to change my mind on the subject overnight, but you have raised an interesting point.” I give her a lot of credit because, although she still didn’t agree with my position, she was willing to listen and consider my side of the argument. In the spring of 2013, I was asked to meet with Animal Alliance Environment leader Liz White. I agreed but, knowing this organization is permeated with a lot of anti-hunters, I don’t mind telling you that I went into the meeting with some trepidation. Most communities in our part of the country are increasingly facing urban deer issues and that was the subject of most of our discussion. We chatted about a lot of things too detailed to get into here. She made her points and I made mine but, in the end, I certainly didn’t convince her to enrol in a hunter training program nor did she convince me to shelve my bow or rifle. However our conversation lasted over two hours because we did share a commonality: a great respect for wildlife. Therefore, I considered it two hours well spent and I am cer-

become somewhat laughable over the years and I usually reply facetiously with something such as, “Not yet, but the day is still young.” For most reasonable people, while you may be vehemently opposed to their opinion, you really do have to respect their right to that opinion. My point is, to gain respect you have to give it - it makes for a much more civil, interesting conversation when the subject of the sport we love is the topic.

tain she did as well. Conversations with the anti-hunting element in our society don’t usually end this way. I am well aware of that. I have found that many are uncompromising and nothing will alter their opinion. But all we can do as hunters is try and make them accountable for their statements, many of which are based on myth, false pretences, and misinformation. Other than that there isn’t much we can do and, in some situations, even starting a civil discussion is a complete waste of time. Here’s a case in point: A woman whom I have known for over 40 years goes out of her way every time she sees me to ask me, “Did you kill anything today?” It has

Low oil prices could impact Canada’s growth Andy Bl atchford Canadian Press
OTTAWA - Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz estimates if the low price of oil persists, it will knock a quarter-point off the growth of Canada’s gross domestic product in 2015. Poloz made the comment Wednesday during testimony before the Senate banking committee, an appearance that followed the release last week of the central bank’s latest monetary policy report and interest-rate announcement. The first question he fielded was on the tumbling price of crude. “We would estimate that at this stage that effect net on Canada would be to take perhaps a quarter point off Canada’s GDP growth for 2015 - which
is sufficient for me to think about it and be concerned about it,” Poloz said in his reply. He said slowing the economy by a quarter point is significant when the bank is only predicting moderate growth in the two- to 2.5-per-cent range. Canada, he added, also needs more than two-per-cent growth to help close the output gap and create jobs. “A quarter point matters quite a lot in that context,” Poloz said, noting the bank reached that estimate based on the assumption prices would stay low. “At this point we, of course, really don’t know whether this price will be sustained. In our forecast, we simply assume that it will be for sake of giving us something to work from.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My younger sister, “Nora,” is 43 and acts like an 18-year-old brat. She became pregnant nine years ago by a drug addict who is currently in jail for raping a 14-year-old girl. (He is out of the picture, thank goodness.) I love my nephew, “Michael.” My older sister and I keep him at our homes most weekends. The problem is, Nora uses our father like her personal banker. He pays for her rent, all bills and a lot of Michael’s necessities. My father can do what he wants with his money -- that’s not the issue. The issue is Nora’s attitude toward him. Lately, my father has been complaining that he feels used by Nora (and he is). But he takes it out on Michael by making comments like, “I’m done with both of you.” Michael is hurt. This week my father yelled again after a snub by Nora, and I can’t blame him, but now Nora won’t answer her phone, texts or anything. I don’t see her car at her house. I don’t know where they are, whether she’s taking Michael to school, whether she’s working, and I’m at my wits’ end. She is also ignoring my other sisters. I’m worried, confused and scared and don’t know what to do. Nora knows she can control us because we would do anything for Michael. I don’t want to sit back and wait for her to get over it. What can I do? -- Sick and Tired of the Drama Queen Dear Sick and Tired: Can you call Michael’s school and Nora’s place of business and find out whether they have shown up? If not, you should call the police and report them missing. But if they are simply avoiding you, there isn’t much you can do. Nora may be a leech, but that doesn’t make her an unfit parent. It also means that if you want to see Michael, you will have to cater to Nora’s whims until Michael is old enough to see you on his own. As aggravating as that is, consider the stable example you are setting for the boy, and do it for his sake. Your father, however, has to stop punishing everyone else for his own choice to give Nora money. Please talk to him about this. He could benefit by venting to a professional. Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our mid-50s and have an almost perfect relationship, with one exception. We used to travel on our vacations. Now that we are retired, I expected to have both time and money to travel more. A number of years ago, my husband slowly became anxious about automobile travel. Each year his phobia has become harder for me to handle. He criticizes my driving and everyone else’s. It’s frustrating. Medications and therapy have failed to alleviate his anxieties. We have had discussions about this. He says I don’t understand and he cannot help how he feels. I feel I am missing out on life. If we cannot resolve this problem, we may be traveling apart forever. Any suggestions? -- Traveling Man Dear Traveling: Would he take a bus? A train? A plane? Traveling by car is not the only way to get around. You also could turn up the radio and tune him out. But please ask him to talk to his doctor again. There may be other things going on. Dear Annie: I could have written the letter from “Frustrated and Furious,” whose brother ignores her children’s events. I agree with your comment that he probably believes everything is fine, because like many men, he thinks his wife is handling gifts and cards. It wasn’t until my stepmother died that my family members began receiving birthday cards. Dad believed that his wife of nearly 30 years had been taking care of it because she had done it for her own family. -- Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

On the 6th of October at about 2 pm, while exiting a store on Kootenay Street, I fell, injuring my head and hip and lay on the pavement dazed and unable to rise. Fortunately the first gentleman to come upon me immediately called 911 for the ambulance. Within minutes it arrived and I was rapidly and skillfully put on board and taken to Cranbrook Regional Hospital where I was admitted for surgical repair of a fractured hip. My gratitude goes to the person who found me and called for help, to the ambulance men for their skill and care, to the nurses and medical staff for the care and attention for three weeks, which was exceptional. I thank all of you Des Cowan

Lorna married Anton Clarence on May 10, 1958 and together raised their son Jon and daughter Sherry. Lorna’s working career saw her at the Kimberley Credit Union, F.W. Woolworth and The Looking Glass jewelry store in Cranbrook. Lorna was a dedicated community volunteer throughout her years, including President of the North Star Figure Skating Club, International Order of Job’s Daughters, Overture Concert Series, Kimberley United Way, hairdressing at Kimberley Special Care Home, Adjudicator and Volunteer for Kimberley International Old Time Accordion Championships and Worthy Matron of Harmony Chapter 45 Order of Eastern Star. Lorna loved to garden and took great pleasure in providing fresh vegetables to her family, friends and neighbors. She knit endless numbers of mittens each year to donate to the Order of Eastern Star bazaar and Helping Hands Food Bank, but of most importance to her were her family and special friends, including the “Wednesday lunch ladies”. She treasured every moment with her grandchildren. She was an avid Scrabble player and enjoyed her daily crossword puzzle. Most recently, Lorna donned a dry suit and hopped in a “Zodiac” to marvel at the wonder of sailing with orca whales off Pender Island. Left to cherish her memory are daughter Sherry Waites (Michael), daughter-in- law Marcia McMurtrie of 100 Mile House, BC, grandchildren Jordan Waites and Amara Waites of Kimberley, Connor Sortome of Calgary, Lauren Sortome of Victoria and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Lorna was pre-deceased by her parents, brothers Edwin and George, sisters Grace, Verna and Dorothy, husband Clarence in 2009 and son Jon in 2012. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her. A private family interment will be held at a later date. Those wishing to make a donation in Lorna’s memory may consider Harmony Chapter (in support of Cancer charities), Box 133, Kimberley, BC V1A 2Y5 or East Kootenay Foundation for Health in support of Palliative Care, 13-24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, BC V1C 3H9.

Obituaries Katherine Storch January 17 1928 October 13, 2014
Katherine Storch passed away suddenly in Calgary Alberta October 13th 2014 at the age of 86. She was born in a small town near Frankfurt Germany, growing up in hard times with little time to play. While in Germany she married Henry and it was here that 3 of their children were born. The family immigrated to Canada in 1957 and settled in Calgary AIberta where the youngest Harry was born. They moved to Cranbrook in 1970 where Katherine took pride in maintaining her home and garden. She and Henry enjoyed the summers outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and also spent many winters down south. After Henry passed away in 2004 Katherine moved to Calgary where she resided for a time with Harry and his wife Mary Ann. The last few years were difficult for her due to many health issues but she maintained her fighting spirit and sense of humor. Even into her 80’s she continued to enjoy her love of dancing with special friend Nick. Katherine was predeceased by her parents, brother Walter, husband and son Harry (2008). She is survived by her brother Hans in Germany, sons Robert (Ingrid) and Alfred (Judy), daughter Irma (Bill) Frankish, 6 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Katherine will always be remembered for her dedication to family, her humor and sharp wit. A celebration of Katherine’s life will be held at Alfred and Judy’s home in Calgary November 1st from 1-4 pm.

Paul Lemay 1936 - 2014 Paul’s life journey ended October 25th at the Cranbrook Regional Hospital. Paul fought hard but lost to cancer. Paul is predeceased by his father Hilaire Lemay, mother, Marie Noyce, sister Louella Overman. His is survived by wife Donna of 58 years, son Stephen, daughter Paula (Dan) son Chris (Serrena) three grandchildren, brothers Maurice (Kit), Norman (Simone) sisters jean (Mel) MaeMay (Johnny), Rita and Elaine). Paul moved from Alberta at age 12 and called Kimberley home for 66 years. He worked at Fabro’s saw mill, the fertilizer and concentrators, then finally underground at the mine where he retired after 38 years. Paul restarted the Kimberley Boxing Club and coached for many years. He thought of his fighters as his second family. He gave his time, experience and care, in return they gave hard work, respect and heart. He said his fighters never quit. He coached provincial champions and two national champions. Paul also coached ladies softball and later enjoyed Thursday night Texas Hold’em at the Elks. He enjoyed hiking the L.C. trails with his four-legged friend Chewy. The family would like to thank his great 3rd floor caregivers at the hospital, especially his Angel. Thank you Dr. Lowden for your visits. They meant a lot. His family loved him very much and will always love & miss him, but know he is in a happy, pain-free place as he crosses over the Rainbow Bridge with Chewy who has been waiting for him. Paul requested no service. A celebration of Paul’s life will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, if so desired donations in memory may be made to the Cranbrook SPCA or Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user. 2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand
extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.
3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper
Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

FACTS B.C. group launches court challenges against province and feds on Site C dam You Need to Know About…

C ANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A group of landowners in northeastern British Columbia is turning to the courts to quash provincial and federal environmental approvals for the multibillion-dollar Site C dam. The Peace Valley Landowners Association filed an application for judicial review this week in B.C. Supreme Court seeking to overturn an environmental certificate issued by the province. The association plans to file another such application next week in Federal Court targeting the environmental certificate issued in Ottawa.
Ken Boon, a rancher in the valley and president of the association, said the environmental certificates should be declared invalid. “Site C is a costly, archaic and destructive project that has been kicked around for almost 40 years and has been turned down twice in that time, and it’s been a wise decision both times not to proceed,” Boon said Wednesday in Vancouver. “We are confident that if truly analysed, this project should have never received an environmental certificate this time around.” The first application

— which names the provincial minister of environment and the minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations — asks for an order quashing the environmental assessment certificate and a declaration that the ministers erred in issuing the certificate. It also asks the court for a declaration that the ministers erred by disregarding a joint review panel’s recommendations to refer the project to the B.C. Utilities Commission for detailed examination. BC Hydro declined to comment on a court action which does not name the Crown corporation. B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the issue is a highly emotional one for residents who will be affected. The Crown utility has said about 10 of the 30 landowners involved will be displaced from their land. Those valley residents have the right to turn to the courts, he said.
“I’m not going to get into the legal issues and debate that,” Bennett said. “But we know we’re going to need some new electricity ... and we have to get it from somewhere. Our decision will be based on what is the best way to acquire that new electricity from a rate-payers perspective.” As for the B.C. Utilities Commission, “I guess the judge will have to decide whether the statements made in the joint review panel’s report are legally binding on the province and the federal government or not,” he added. Ninety-two per cent of the land required for the project is already owned by the province or BC Hydro, Bennett said. Boon said the association has been working in tandem with local Treaty 8 First Nations, who are expected to launch their own court actions in the near future.

Kimberley & District Community Foundation is inviting registered non-profit charitable organizations to apply for grants from the Kootenay Savings Community Fund and the KDCF Community Funds. The purpose of these grants is to provide assistance with the funding of educational, cultural, environmental, or economic non profit projects that will be of assistance to the communities of Kimberley and area, including Skookumchuck, St. Mary’s, Ta Ta Creek, Meadowbrook, Wycliffe, and Wasa. While all applications will be considered, preference will be given to those organizations that have not already received grants in 2013, and have an annual working budget of less than $50,000. Please note these grants are NOT for ongoing operating costs (e.g. salaries, utilities). Please contact Des McKay (Grants Committee Chair) at 250427-4008 or desmckay@shaw.ca for more information. Application forms are available at Kimberley City Hall or can be downloaded from our web site at kimberleyfoundation.ca Deadline for applications is Friday, November 7, 2014.
ing 5,550 hectares of land over an 83-kilometre stretch of valley. It would generate an estimated 1,100 megawatts of capacity, or enough to power the equivalent of 450,000 homes a year. A report by a joint federal-provincial environmental assessment panel in May made no clear recommendation for or against the project. The panel did say the power would be needed one day, but not on the timeline laid out by BC Hydro. It also said it could not come to any conclusion on the accuracy of project cost estimates. Two weeks ago, both the provincial and federal governments issued environmental certificates for the dam, saying the benefits outweigh the impacts. But Maegen Giltrow, lawyer for the association, said there remain too many economic unknowns. “If the project is not economically justified, then the adverse environmental effects are not justified ... and the certificate should fail,” she said. Lawyers for the provincial government have three weeks to file a response with the court. Last week, the Crown utility announced that construction could begin in 90 days, should cabinet give final approval. That final investment decision is expected by the end of the year and Bennett said court action will not cause a delay. “We have to maintain a schedule to either decide to build the project or to move on with a different way of acquiring that electricity,” he said.

Head of the Canadian Space Agency moves on Pe ter R akobowchuk CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Space industry officials expressed surprise Wednesday after learning that the head of the Canadian Space Agency is leaving the position after barely more than a year on the job. Walt Natynczyk will become deputy veterans affairs minister, effective next week Monday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement. Natynczyk had been head of the space agency since August 2013, when he replaced former Canadian astronaut Steve MacLean. In a separate statement released by the agency, Natynczyk said it was an honour to have served as its president. “The agency has extraordinary potential and an exciting destiny,” he said. “I believe in its employees. I believe in its mission. “Space touches every Canadian, every day of their lives. No matter where I am, I will continue to support Canada’s space program.” The retired military general served as the
Canadian Forces’ chief of defence staff from 2008 to 2012. Industry Minister James Moore tweeted later on Wednesday that Luc Brule, the space agency’s current vice-president, will take over on an interim basis. Iain Christie, executive vice-president of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada (AIAC), expressed surprise when informed of Natynczyk’s move. “It’s not something we had prior knowledge of,” he told The Canadian Press in a phone interview. “But that’s not unusual.” The association represents about 100 of Canada’s aerospace companies, including MDA, the builders of the Canadarm; Lockheed Martin Canada Inc; Magellan Aerospace; and Telesat Canada. But Christie, who has had extensive dealings with the space agency, also sounded a positive note. “Having General Natynczyk there I think has been very good for the agency and we’re in a much better place than
we were when he was originally appointed,” Christie said. “So I’m looking forward to working with whoever the government does appoint to keep the progress moving forward.” Marc Boucher, acting president of the Canadian Space Commerce Association, described the agency post as a revolving door.
“I’m surprised and I’m disappointed,” he said. “Unfortunately it seems to be a pattern where presidents of the Canadian Space Agency don’t seem to last long in the job for whatever reason.” He noted that, after being on the job for less than two years, Natynczyk has left a lot to be done, adding that
term who will actually be able to do something constructive.” Marc Garneau, a Liberal MP and a former CSA president, had no comment. An aide said Canada’s first astronaut would wait to see who Natynczyk’s replacement would be before speaking out. “He’s holding his fire for now,” the spokesman added.

“Basically the government has just been doing the least that it can to keep things going and I don’t see anything changing in the near future.” The government now has an opportunity to find a new leader who will stay for a while, he added. “I hope they find somebody to run the Canadian Space Agency for a longer period of

employees at the agency are probably scratching their heads at developments. Boucher, whose industry group represents about 40 small and large space companies in Canada, was harshly critical of the Harper government. “It just shows that there’s a lack of support for the Canadian Space Agency and the industry as a whole,” he said.
