More than $10 million has been raised to help protect the Flathead Valley.

Through a collaboration with conservation groups, the Government of Canada and private donors, the multi-million dollar funding will go to the British Columbia government to implement the Flathead Watershed Area Conservation Act, which was passed last year.

The legislation permanently prohibits coal mining, as well as exploration and development of oil, gas and mineral

resources on nearly 400,000 acres in the Flathead, southeast of Fernie.

“This particular money was given to the province to allow us to compensate the mining companies whose tenures we took back when we took mining and oil and gas out of the Flathead,” explained Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.

The Government of Canada contributed $5.4 million, while global equity firm Warburg Pincus put in $2.5 million.

The rest came from private donors.

The announcement was celebrated

with a function at St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino on Thursday, September 13, attended by Environment Canada Minister Peter Kent and the Governor of Montana, Brian Schweitzer.

On Friday, Minister Kent joined MLA Bennett, Ktunaxa Nation Chair Kathryn Teneese, Nature Conservancy of Canada president John Lounds and The Nature Conservancy (an unaffiliated global conservation group) president Mark Tercek, as well as Charles R. Kaye, co-president of Warburg Pincus.

Dr. Nick Rubidge, president and CEO of College of the Rockies, has announced he will retire at the end of the school year in July 2013.

Rubidge has been involved with the college since its infancy and was one of the college administrators who helped establish a multi-campus college in the East Kootenay region, which later became the East Kootenay Community College. In 1995, it was renamed to College of the Rockies and it has continued to grow.

The 2011/2012 school year was a big one for the college and Rubidge, when they presented their first ever degree to a student.

The recipient was Tamara Eidsness, who accepted her degree for Bachelor of Business Administration (Sustainable Business Practices).

“Having the authority to grant a degree is pretty huge,” Rubidge said.

Over the summer, Rubidge decided it was time to step down and let a new leader take the college even further.

His retirement comes as the college enjoys its first few years after

major renovations.

He announced his retirement at the Sept.

13 regular meeting of the College Board of Governors.

Rubidge said the new physical changes to the college have been a feather in the cap for him, along with the first ever degree.

“There’s a lot that’s happened at the college,” he said. “The degree piece is actually quite huge.”

The college has been providing degrees in partnership with other institutions for years, but actually delivering their own is something Rubidge hopes will continue to be expanded.

“I see nothing really but a bright future here,” he said.

Reach-A-Reader campaign raises money for literacy Buy your local newspaper from an agent or volunteer on the street. Your donation goes to a program in your community.

Townsman Staff

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), a non-profit charity, joins with Black Press for the second annual Reach-A-Reader campaign on Thursday, October 11.

On Thursday, October 11, when you buy your local paper from CBAL and Black Press staff and volunteers out on the town, all funds go to supporting literacy programs in that community.

“The Reach-A-Reader campaign is an important way for us to promote our region-wide commitment to building literacy skills and healthy learning communities,” said Ali Wassing, CBAL Executive Director.

This joint campaign demonstrates Black Press’s dedication to building literacy skills in the communities it serves and helping CBAL stretch its reach. Reading is at the heart of CBAL’s drive to help citizens improve literacy skills, engage in life-long learning and increase their confidence to get involved in the community.

“We have 16 coordinators delivering services in 77 communities,” said Desneiges Profili, CBAL Regional Program Manager, West Kootenay and Boundary. “Their

work with children, adults, families and seniors to build reading, writing, numeracy, computer and workplace skills is in demand.

Fundraisers, such as our Reach-AReader campaign, help support communities to meet this increasing need.”

CBAL is working hard to expand services to meet growing and changing needs in communities across the region.

In addition to regional funding received from Columbia Basin Trust, Selkirk College, College of the Rockies and the Province of British Columbia, local partnerships and fundraising campaigns are critical to developing more community-led programs targeting local needs.

The Reach-A-Reader campaign demonstrates this shared commitment.

“We partner with businesses, community organizations, libraries, schools and colleges to help meet demand for our services,” said Betty Knight, Regional Program Manager, East Kootenay.

“Getting the communities involved in supporting us through the partnership with Black Press and the Reach-A-Reader campaign takes our message to the heart of the

Over the last 10 years, CBAL has delivered an average of 230 programs to 7,000 participants each year.

Positive feedback, living examples of the benefits and community response has been very supportive.

Participants can choose from a va-

riety of programs such as: Love 2 Learn, Young Parents Education Program, Cyber Seniors and English as a Second Language.

You can make a difference in your local community. Participate in the Reach a Reader campaign by purchasing a paper on October 11, volunteering to sell papers, or sim-

Flathead should be a national park: Wildsight Continued from page 1 Along with representatives of the conservancy organizations, the group filled six helicopters for a flight to the top of Mount Hefty in the Flathead Range, to see just what was being protected.

In 2010, then-Premier Gordon Campbell and Governor Schweitzer signed a memorandum of understanding to prohibit mining and the development of oil, gas and coal resources throughout the B.C. Flathead.

It is adjacent to the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, which is also a designated World Heritage Site and a UN Biosphere Reserve.

But local conservation group Wildsight said much work still needs to be done to permanently protect the Flathead.

“The ban on energy and mining development is a great first step, but the job is far from complete,” said Wildsight’s executive director John Bergenske.

“We continue to work to see part of the Flathead, the southeastern one-third, brought into the missing piece of the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park and put in a Wildlife Management Area, which would continue to allow the existing uses but would make sure the extremely high wildlife values of the Flathead always take precedence,” he went on.

Wildsight’s ultimate dream would be to see some of the Flathead

“We feel that with a national park completing the Waterton-Glacier complex in that one portion of the Flathead, that basically makes sure that any of the activities that take place are maintaining the wildlife values.”

However, MLA Bennett said that a national park is not the answer.

“The irony is, if a national park was created, what we would have seen today is hundreds and hundreds of tourists crawling around the Flathead. We saw nobody,” Bennett said Friday. “That would not improve the eco system; it would hurt it.”

According to Bennett, all those present

for last week’s celebrations made it clear that protection of the Flathead was already being achieved.

“I was really relieved and pleased to hear Peter Kent, the Governor of Montana and the Nature Conservancy all express their support for this management model we have in place that does not require a federal park over the Flathead Valley,” said Bennett.

“A lot of it has been logged and clear cut and the point is: we still have this incredibly diverse and healthy ecosystem.

So the management model we have had in place has been working extremely well and there really is no reason to change it.”

Vehicles set alight with fireworks Submit ted

Local police are seeking information after two vehicles were set on fire in a residential area earlier this month.

On September 4, 2012 at 10:30 p.m., the Cranbrook RCMP and the Cranbrook Fire Department responded to a two-vehicle fire on 5th St. North.

The vehicles were located approximately 100 metres away from each other and had their tires set on fire

with what police believe to be fireworks.

Damage to the vehicles was limited to the wheel well areas.

The RCMP continues to investigate this crime and are requesting the assistance of the public in identifying the person(s) who caused these fires.

If anyone has any additional information about this or any other crime they can call the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or East Kooteney Crimestoppers (1-800-222-TIPS).

Twenty-two RCMP members from all over B.C.’s southern interior rode into Cranbrook on Wednesday, September 12 during their 10-day bike ride for the Cops For Kids charity. The ride raises money for communities including Cranbrook to help local children when a special need arises. While in town, the officers took part in the All Male Fashion Show fundraiser.

An attack of gout can come without warning, causing excruciating pain and swelling in one or more joints.Typically affecting middle aged men, gout can be hereditary and is more common in those with obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Gout is a type of arthritis in which uric acid crystals collect in the joint (often the base of the big toe, an ankle or knee) and produce swelling and intense, needle-like jabs of pain.These symptoms may last from a few days to a few weeks. Many gout suffers do have a relapse of symptoms, and those with chronic cases may require medical attention to prevent damage to joints, tendons and kidneys.

Breastfeeding challenge looking for 50 moms Annalee Gr ant Townsman Staff

The Breastfeeding Challenge is returning this year and organizers are hoping for 50 moms to turn up to latch on at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 29.

The Challenge brings together women across the world to promote breastfeeding and support local moms. Daleen Bybee, local lactation consultant, said women in the community need to know the support and resources that are out there when they become a mother.

“Breastfeeding is so important to each and every one of the approximately 500 babies born in our regional hospital every year and we need to stand behind those moms and support them,” she said. “The challenge is held to show them that the support is here for them.”

The international challenge is a B.C.-led initiative and last year attracted 5,000 moms.

“The international goal is to see how many moms can be ‘latched’ on around the globe at

11 a.m. local time,” Bybee said.

The challenge has been happening in Cranbrook for about 10 years, and last year a dozen moms took part.

This year, Bybee said they are hoping for 50 women to make this year bigger and better than ever.

“The farmer’s market was discussed as a possibility because of its central location, the fact that it is in public and because of the visibility for moms who might be there and may not have heard about the challenge before, but can participate ‘spur of the moment,’” she said.

Bybee said there will also be information for moms-to-be, fathers and anyone interested in learning more about breastfeeding.

“This year we are going to have a booth set up on the street, courtesy of the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market, so we will have public information there about breastfeeding supports in our area,” she said.

The challenge will also be followed up by a Babywear Fashion Show that had its first turn on the catwalk in 2011. The event will start at 11:05 a.m.

“This year we will feature babies of all

ages, from some brand new squishy babies to preschoolers,” Bybee said.

The models will be wearing carriers that are safe for mom and baby including ring slings, woven wraps, structured carriers and more.

The challenge is just one of the opportunities available to breastfeeding moms in the community. Breastfeeding Mamas, a support group for new moms and expecting moms, was launched in 2011. It provides a place for moms to meet and receive support and information as they breastfeed their children.

“As lactation consultants we know how important it is for moms to have support from the minute their babies are born,” Bybee said. “We have great support in the hospital and with our midwives, but most moms only stay in the hospital for 24 to 48 hours and see their midwives for six weeks after baby arrives.”

The peer support group is held in several communities in the East Kootenay: Cranbrook, Creston, Elkford, Fernie, Kimberley and Sparwood. Not all groups have officially started up yet, but Bybee said

the schedule is set to be full come October. The groups are sponsored by the Columbia Basin Trust and the Community Connections Society of BC. “We are super excited to have six cities in our region offering Breastfeeding Mamas,” Bybee said.

The groups are free and led by a trained and experienced breastfeeding mom who comes prepared with a topic, but provides plenty of time for one-on-one support and questions.

“These moms are passionate about supporting other moms along their breastfeeding journeys,” Bybee said. “As a mom of two, who had two very different experiences breastfeeding, it warms my heart to see a new mom come to the group and get the support she needs.”

Bybee said she offers her support to the group as a way of giving back.

“The community as a whole has been so supportive of this endeavour, making it easy to see progress. I know we are changing lives, not just moms’ lives, but the lives of sweet little babies who are benefiting from the perfection of breastmilk.”

Invermere heliport reopened Submit ted

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, Kootenay East Regional Hospital District Chair John Kettle, Invermere Mayor Gerry Taft, and Interior Health representatives officially reopened the Invermere and District Hospital’s heliport today.

In August 2011, Interior Health received the go ahead from the Ministry of Health and the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District to include the needed heliport upgrades in the scope of the Invermere and District

ACTORS…

Hospital Redevelopment and Emergency Department Expansion project.

The total cost of the heliport project was $300, 000.

Upgrades to the heliport included relocating and enlarging the size of the helipad to accommodate larger helicopters, lowering and marking of light standards, moving BC Hydro poles, and installing height restriction gates.

STARS (Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society) helicopters were able to resume landings at the Invermere and District Hospital’s heliport on Monday, August 27th.

In addition to landing at a certified heliport STARS and B.C. Ambulance can use the “EK Autolaunch” protocol which enables local ambulance attendants to request STARS at the scene of a major accident.

Operations at the Invermere and District Hospital’s heliport have been on hold since June 2010 when Transport Canada identified that upgrades were required to meet current safety standards.

The $4.3 million ER Redevelopment project at the Invermere and District Hospital was completed in October, 2010.

Teck Coal Limited (Proponent) is proposing an extension to its existing Fording River Operations located north of Elkford, within the East Kootenay region of southeastern B.C., referred to as the Swift Project (proposed Project). The proposed Project would maintain the existing production capacity of the Fording River Operations and would extend overall mine life by approximately 20 years.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate (Certificate) before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application for a Certificate (Application) by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements.

The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the Project are identified for consideration as part of the environmental assessment process.

There are 30 days for the submission of written comments by the public in relation to the draft Application Information Requirements. The comment period will begin on September 19, 2012 and end on October 19, 2012.

An electronic copy of the draft Application Information Requirements and information regarding the environmental assessment process will be available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca on September 19, 2012.

Copies of the Draft Application Information Requirements are also available for viewing at these locations during the comment period: x x x

‘Tis the season of intangibles

W

e’ve just gone through what my wife calls the season of intangibles, when it’s time to renew all those things we buy just in case something happens.

If you give this too much thought, getting insurance coverage can be an unsettling exercise.

First, you have to seriously think about how paranoid you’ve become about certain things, and then you have to see if you can find a willing insurer.

I’m sure there’s an insurance company somewhere willing to give you wrinkle insurance, but once that particular concern gets crunched through the appropriate actuarial tables, you might not be willing to pay the premiums.

You also have to consider that, in a weird kind of way, you’d like to be able to cash in if any of your worst-case scenarios come true.

Comedian Dick Gregory pointed this out a number of years ago about life insurance: you go into an office and bet someone that you’re going to die, and you want to win.

When we went in to renew our term

policies, we found out that under our current coverage, our premiums are about to QUADRUPLE from what they were ten years ago.

We didn’t really give much thought to dying when the rates were more affordable, so now we I’LL TRY TO have to discuss how much EXPLAIN our demises should be worth as opposed to Bob whether we want to eat Wakulich regular meals while we’re waiting.

We have some options.

We can get term insurance, perm (permanent) insurance, or a combination of perm and term. That way, we can eventually cancel the term and keep the perm. The perm premiums are higher, but the rate never changes; it might end up costing us less than living too long and waiting until the next term runs out. Mind you, if you die sooner rather than later, term is definitely the better deal, so to quote Dirty Harry, “Do you feel lucky?”

Car insurance poses a similar problem.

You’re a good driver, right? It’s all those idiots out there, especially the ones who think you’re an idiot. It’s a pretty safe bet that we all show up on an idiot list somewhere, so it’s not like we’re going to run out of idiots any time soon.

You have to be insured to drive, but if you go with minimum coverage, you don’t really get covered for much once all the deductibles get factored in.

On the other hand, if all those idiots were insured to the hilt, getting into an accident with one would almost be like winning the lottery.

By the way, don’t even start thinking about what happens when lawyers get involved with this, or you might decide to leave your vehicle locked in a garage.

Because we’ve been doing some travelling lately, we’ve started getting insurance for that, too. This seems wise if you consider the increasing possibility of getting sick in a place where they charge you a dollar for each piece of Kleenex.

Besides health coverage, it’s interesting to see the kinds of coverage you can get.

For example, insurrection insurance covers you in case you happen to end up in the middle of a war somewhere.

Generally speaking, unforeseen wars DO have a nasty way of screwing up your itinerary, but I’ve always wondered what would happen if you filed a claim.

Do the insurance companies parachute adjusters in to size things up? “Well, most of them seem to be fighting over there, so if you’re planning to flee in terror, we suggest you run THAT way.”

Opinion/NEWS

Early days to be pointing fingers

V

Andre w Coyne Postmedia News

iolent protests outside American embassies, first in Egypt and Libya and now across the Muslim world, have provided a rare moment of agreement for partisans of the right and left: the right, for whom everything is President Obama’s fault, and the left, for whom everything is America’s fault.

The protests, both agree, are not merely expressions of whatever was on the minds of those who showed up on the day, but a broad indictment of American policy in the Middle East, notably in its support (temporizing as it sometimes was) for the so-called Arab Spring.

While American indulgence of westernfriendly dictators like Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak was once a bone of contention between the two sides, today there is an odd new entente in favour of letting sleeping Muslims lie.

This is what you get, the right says, for forsaking our allies: not western-style democrats, but implacably hostile Islamists, whether of the Muslim Brotherhood or al-Qaida strain. Obama’s conciliatory gestures early in his term, they claim, communicated weakness; his passivity in the face of provocation confirmed it.

This is what you get, the left says, for meddling in other countries’ affairs. (Sample Guardian headline: “The west has once again started a fire it cannot extinguish.”)

Unless it’s for not meddling soon enough.

Or is it for meddling in the wrong way? No matter. Remember, whatever happens, it’s always America’s fault.

It strikes me as rather early days to be making such pronouncements, though you may recall it took scant minutes for commentators to discover the “root causes” of September 11 (whose anniversary the embassy attacks seem intended to celebrate).

By an amazing coincidence, the terrorists’ grievances in every case turned out to be identical with those of whichever pundit was flapping his gums.

To critics of American foreign policy, it was on account of American foreign policy. To those concerned with Third World poverty, it was about Third World poverty.

And so on down the line: every time. It was uncanny.

Still, it was evident to all, even then, that 9/11 was a historic event, whose consequences would be felt for decades: whatever its meaning, its significance was indisputable.

The same is not remotely true here.

That a few hundred, or even a few thousand, hotheads gather to chant “Death to America,” on whatever pretext, does not mean their countrymen are all of the same mind; that nascent authorities, in societies lately emerged from dictatorship or civil war, have been unable to prevent the mobs from storming the embassies does not, by itself, demonstrate the failure of the experiment in Arab liberty.

Libya may not be the most stable place nowadays, but would its prospects be brighter if Gaddafi were still in power? Or Egypt’s, under Mubarak? As with postSaddam Iraq or Afghanistan after the Taliban, we should not let their present difficulties blind us to how much better off these countries are now than under the previous regimes, and can hope to be in future.

What the last few days does show, as if we needed reminding, is that a lot of people in the Muslim world still hate America.

Even if the proximate cause were, as reported, a crude anti-Muslim video that happened to have been produced in the United States, the crowds’ fury plainly has as much to do with where the film was made as what was in it.

The protests have become, if they were

not originally, arenas for the venting of rage at the U.S. in general - and at its president in particular. “Obama, Obama, we are all Osamas,” rioters in Tunis chanted. In Jalalabad, Afghanistan, they burned him in effigy.

If this seems a remarkable turn of events, it shouldn’t. The notion that the election of a president with Muslim roots, or the adoption of a more conciliatory tone in American foreign policy, would mollify America’s detractors in the Third World, was always a fantasy.

If it is unlikely the protests were caused

by Obama’s “weakness” - Mitt Romney’s campaign went so far as to claim they would not have taken place if he were president - then neither, it seems, has his presence in the White House done anything to prevent them.

Perhaps there is less anti-Americanism abroad as a result of his presidency, but it certainly hasn’t been extinguished. Which is fine. Because there isn’t anything to be done about it, and no point in trying.

It is a mistake to suppose that hatred of America must have some rational cause, any more than other prejudices. It does not.

It is a constant, unlikely to change no matter what propitiatory gestures the U.S. might offer. It has nothing to do with what foreign policy it pursues, or whether the president’s middle name is Hussein.

It exists because America exists, and if America did not exist it would attach itself to something else.

Hatred of America is a form of self-hatred, the fruit of frustration and despair in the Muslim world at their relative decline.

And not only in the Muslim world.

Anti-Americanism will always be with us so long as people need a bogeyman on which to hang the evils of the world.

It speaks to all that is small and envious and insecure in us, and unfortunately that, too, is a constant.

Former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed remembered Tim Cook Canadian Press

EDMONTON — A transformational force for the betterment of Alberta and Canada, a charming leader unique to his generation, a giant of Canadian history, a political hero.

Coast-to-coast, lawmakers of the past and present alike are paying their respects to former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed with a universal warmth reserved for all but the exceptional few.

With news surfacing earlier this week that the 84-year-old was gravely ill, word of his death Thursday night touched off an abundance of adoration.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a fellow Calgarian, was among the most profuse, calling Lougheed “quite simply one of the most remarkable Canadians of his generation.’’

“A master politician, gifted lawyer, professional-calibre athlete and philanthropist, the former premier was instrumental in laying the foundation for the robust economic success that his cherished province of Alberta enjoys today,’’ Harper said.

Peter Lougheed in 1985 Lougheed’s accomplishments were many.

He kick-started one of Canada’s longest provincial political dynasties when he led the Progressive Conservatives to victory in 1971. There are still in power to this day.

He became a provincial folk hero and a nationally recognized figure for his epic battles with Ottawa over control of Alberta’s oil resources as prices spiked in the 1970s. And he led

the movement toward petroleum diversification by nurturing oilsands development which now sprawls throughout northern Alberta and has become a economic driver of the country.

He created a multibilliondollar nest egg savings fund for Alberta all while fostering arts, culture and tourism.

He helped patriate the Constitution and fought for a notwithstanding clause to ensure Canada would ultimately be governed by legislators and not the courts.

He championed bilingualism and in retirement spoke out against the Kyoto accord to control greenhouse gases, but urged caution over the environmental effects from unbridled growth of the oilsands.

There were those who remembered Lougheed chiefly for his provincial accomplishments.

“He created a direction for Alberta that we can all be proud of today,’’ said current Alberta Premier Alison Redford. “His forward-thinking, progressive vision gave us the tools to suc-

ceed today and helped to propel Alberta into a leadership role in Canada.’’

And there were those who remembered him as a nation builder.

“He was unshakable in his belief that this country was the greatest country in the world and that it had to be united,’’ said former Saskatchewan premier Roy Romanow, who got to study Lougheed up close as they both participated in the Constitutional debates.

Lougheed’s family — wife Jeanne, sons Stephen and Joseph and daughters Andrea and Pamela — said in a statement that a public memorial will be planned in the coming days.

Amidst all of the historical recollection, their remembrance was much more intimate, reducing a political titan to his most genuine form.

“Although he was known to many for his contributions to Alberta and to Canada, his first dedication was to his family. He was a deeply caring and loving husband, father and grandfather,’’ they said. “We will miss him terribly.’’

Blue Jays shut out Red Sox 5-0 L ARRY MILLSON Canadian Press

TORONTO - As Omar Vizquel winds down his career, it seems like he reaches a milestone with each hit.

It also helps when they win games as well.

The 45-year-old hit a two-out single in the seventh inning against lefthander Jon Lester to break a 0-0 tie and the Toronto Blue Jays went on to beat the Boston Red Sox 5-0 on Sunday.

The single was Vizquel’s second hit of the game and tied him with Jesse Burkett for 42nd on the all-time list with 4,872.

The single was followed by a two-run homer by Adeiny Hechavarria, his second as a major-leaguer. The Blue Jays added two in the eighth in front of 21,698 fans at Rogers Centre.

Vizquel’s next hit ties him with Babe Ruth and it could come at Yankee Stadium where the Blue Jays open a three-game series against New York on Tuesday.

Blue Jays manager John Farrell said Vizquel will get the chance.

“I’d be crazy not to,” he said. “Given today’s performance with two more hits. For him to tie if possible in New York will be very fitting.

“Not even in my wildest dreams was I going to think that you can bring the name of Babe Ruth

next to mine and compare it with hits and other things there have been in my career,” Vizquel said. “When I started the season I wasn’t really thinking about numbers. I was just trying to go out there and finish my career strong.”

It also helped the Blue Jays avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Red Sox. Vizquel hit two sacrifice flies on Sept. 9 including the game-winner when the Blue Jays swept the Red Sox in three games at Fenway Park.

This time Vizquel broke up a superb pitching effort by Lester who took a one-hitter into the seventh.

“He was dominating today,” Vizquel said. “We couldn’t really get to him.

We got very few opportunities.”

The opportunity came in the seventh when Yan Gomes singled with two out. Rajai Davis ran for him and stole second. Vizquel singled him home.

“I came up there with a situation in the fifth where I was supposed to bunt and I couldn’t do it,” said Vizquel who also doubled in the third. “We had another opportunity and I came up again and Davis got that base and I came up with that big hit and Hechavarria did the rest. It was a good win overall.”

KOOTENAY ICE

TREVOR CRAWLEY PHOTO

Kootenay Ice prospect Collin Shirley takes the puck around the net with Lethbridge Hurricanes defenseman Spencer Galbraith in hot pursuit at a preseason game in the Crowsnest Pass on Friday. The Ice beat the Hurricanes 5-4 and wrapped up exhibition play on Sunday with a 5-4 come-from-behind win against the Calgary Hitmen.

Ice end preseason with two wins Roster shrinks to 25 as the club releases a forward and a defenceman on Sunday TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

After losing all three games at the Tri-City tournament a week ago, the Ice squeaked out two wins over the weekend to wrap up the exhibition season.

The Ice won both games at scores of 5-4, the first against the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Friday and the second against the Calgary Hitmen on Sunday.

“It’s nice to see that there’s been progression from last weekend to this weekend, so it was good for their confidence to have some success,” said Ice assistant coach Chad Kletzel.

Two prospects were released Sunday evening as the club sent defenseman Jordan Steenbergen, 16, back to the Red Deer Rebels of the Alberta Midget Hockey League, while Doug Morris, 17, will go to a team yet to be determined.

Steenbergen was a third-round pick in the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft, while Morris has been listed with the Ice for the last few years.

It was the final chance for the Ice coaching staff to get a

hard look at the prospects before opening the regular season on the road this weekend with games in Edmonton and Calgary.

“It gives us another opportunity in a game situation to see how guys perform and give a good overall perspective of their game and what they bring,” said Kletzel.

Sam Reinhart scored the game-winner on the powerplay as the Ice edged out the Hurricanes 5-4 on Friday to a packed barn at the Coleman Sports Complex in the Crowsnest Pass.

Both teams traded goals throughout the first two periods, but Reinhart’s second goal of the game proved to be the difference maker.

Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin got the win, stopping 33 shots, while Christopher Tai and Tanner Kovacs split duties for the Hurricanes and collectively made 26 saves.

Morris opened the scoring after causing a turnover in the offensive zone and sneaking a shot past Tai at a sharp angle early into the frame.

The Hurricanes tied

it up and took the lead when Brady Ramsay got a pair of goals three minutes apart late in the first period.

However, the Ice ended the period all tied up when Erik Benoit scored an empty net goal with 15 seconds left after the puck took a lucky bounce off a stanchion in the corner while the goaltender was out to play it.

Tyler Wong put the Hurricanes ahead in the second period, tipping a shot from the point over Hoflin’s shoulder.

However, the Ice tied it up when Reinhart scored his first by onetiming a feed from Brock Montgomery in the slot near the halfway mark of the period.

Ice prospect Collin Shirley scored his first preseason goal to take the lead with three minutes to go in the period after a mad scramble in the Hurricanes’ crease.

Reid Duke managed to find the equalizer with 11 seconds left in the frame, beating an Ice defenseman in a footrace and sneaking a shot past Hoflin.

Reinhart sealed the win with his powerplay marker in the dying minutes of the third pe-

riod.

Montgomery and Axel Blomqvist dropped the mitts in the final period for a bout, but the Hurricanes’ Swedish import got more than he bargained for as the Ice forward landed a few big punches during the fight.

The Ice capitalized on two powerplays in seven chances, while the Hurricanes scored once in six opportunities.

Jaedon Descheneau and Montgomery both scored a pair of goals as the Ice overcame a fourgoal deficit in the third period to come back and beat the Hitmen 5-4 on Sunday.

Despite the hole, it was the Ice who struck first as prospect Kyle O’Conner scored his second goal of the preseason to give the Ice the lead after one period.

However, the second period was all Hitmen, with four even-strength goals coming from Greg Chase, Trevor Cheek, Austin Cadalline and Brady Brassart.

The Ice staunched the bleeding in the third, mounting a comeback as Montgomery and Desche-

neau scored four minutes apart in the early part of the period, The same two notched another pair of powerplay markers less than a minute apart with seven minutes to go, with Descheneau getting the game-winner.

Mackenzie Skapski got the start and the win, stopping 24 shots, while Mack Shields took the loss while making 22 saves in defeat.

Kletzel said there were things he liked about the team’s play, while noticing areas for improvement during the weekend.

“We had different times in games where we battled back and we showed how we could play in regards to tempo and forechecking,” Kletzel said. “[But] some things for areas of improvement are consistency in our play, we seem to have a good period and then a very inconsistent period, so it’s something we’ll have to work on.”

The Ice will open the regular season on the road with a game against the defending WHL champions in the Edmonton Oil Kings on Thursday night.

Sports Sides step away from the table as NHL enters lockout Chris Johnston Canadian Press

When the moment of truth arrived, the NHL and NHL Players’ Association were nowhere near the bargaining table.

The sides remained so far apart in negotiations that no last-ditch attempt was even made before the league entered its fourth work stoppage in 20 years. Instead, the collective bargaining agreement quietly expired at midnight on Saturday and the NHL locked out its players.

“We spoke again today, and in light of the fact that neither party has indicated an intention to move off of its last proposal, we have decided that there is no point in convening a formal bargaining session,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Canadian Press in an email. “We will keep in close contact in the coming days and if anything changes, I am sure we will be in touch.”

The lockout was a long time coming.

As far back as November, the NHL informed the union it would be unwilling to

continue operating past the expiration of the current CBA. But there were no formal talks held in the final three days under the expiring agreement.

Steve Fehr, the NHLPA’s special counsel, claimed the union requested a meeting before the “owners’ selfimposed deadline” on Saturday but was rebuffed. “(Executive director) Don Fehr, myself and several players on the negotiating committee were in (New York) and prepared to meet,” he said in a statement. “The NHL said that it saw no purpose in having a formal meeting. There have been and continue to be private, informal discussions between representatives of both sides.”

The parties last sat down together on Wednesday afternoon, with each tabling a proposal, and commissioner Gary Bettman indicated he expects the next move to come from the union.

One immediate sign of the split: The NHL’s website went from featuring current players to remembering great moments in the sport, such

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck

The NHL locked out its players at midnight Saturday, the fourth shutdown for the NHL since 1992. as the 1987 Canada Cup. The impact of the work stoppage will be felt immediately. The first pre-season games are expected to be cancelled next week and the possibility of having the regular season start as scheduled on Oct. 11 will become less and less likely with each passing day.

During the lockout that wiped out the entire 2004-05 season, both the

league and individual teams decided to lay off employees. On Saturday afternoon, Daly said the NHL has no plans to cut staff “at this point in time.”

A number of players are expected to seek alternative opportunities in Europe, with the Russian-based KHL offering the most financial appeal. Switzerland, Sweden and Finland will also likely be popular desti-

nations.

Players aren’t scheduled to receive the first of 13 NHL paycheques this season until Oct. 15 - something they’ll miss if the lockout extends past that date. There are no immediate plans for them to receive a stipend from the union.

Even the main negotiators will stop being paid. Bettman and Daly both committed to giving up their salary dur-

Dynamiters split opening weekend with Creston Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters opened their regular season by splitting a weekend doubleheader with the Creston Valley Thunder Cats on back-to-back nights.

The T-Cats scored four unanswered goals in the first period to march to a 6-1 win on Friday at the Johnny Bucyk Arena, but the Nitros got a little revenge on Saturday by edging out a 3-2 win at home.

Ryan Murray, Lucas Kwasny, Brady Ward and Trevor Hanna all found the back of the net within the first twenty minutes of the 2012 KIJHL season.

Newly minted Nitro forward Dustin Long scored the lone Kimberley goal on the powerplay early in the second period. Long came into training camp as a former player for the Whitecourt Wolverines, a Jr. B team that folded in Alberta.

However, Ethan Rusnack responded for Creston and Hanna recorded his second goal of the game by the end of the period.

The two teams held each other scoreless in the third.

Justin Miller replaced Nitro goaltender Jeremy Mousseau after the first period as the T-Cats put 22 shots on goal throughout the game.

The Dynamiters responded by putting 51 shots on Creston stopper Michael Hails, who earned the win.

The Nitros got a better result on Saturday due to the efforts of defenseman Isaac Schacher, a defenseman returning for his second year after getting released from the Penticton Vees’ training camp.

Schacher got in on all three Nitro goals, notching a trio of points in the assists column.

Even though the Nitros won, Creston drew blood first less than a minute into the game

ing the lockout, while Donald Fehr stopped collecting a paycheque at the start of July as a sign of solidarity with his membership.

With the sides struggling to agree on how to divide up US$3.28 billion in annual revenues, both lamented the damage that is bound to be inflicted by engaging in another work stoppage.

“Hockey is poised, I think, to really move over the next three or four years to a fundamentally different place than it’s been before,” said Fehr. “The question is whether the dispute we’re currently having is going to screw that up. If so, that’s bad and that’s unfortunate - we ought to be doing what we can to avoid it.”

Added Bettman: “Even a brief lockout will cost more in lost revenue and wages than making a deal we think we need to make.”

For the last several weeks, all of the secondary issues have been pushed aside so that talks could focus solely on the league’s core economic system.

The NHL believes too much money is being paid out in salaries and

has proposed a system to address it. They’re calling for the players’ share in revenue to be set at 49 per cent next season - down from 57 per cent in the expiring deal - and proposed that it drops to 47 per cent by the end of the six-year deal.

The union tabled an offer where the salary cap would be set to fixed increases of two per cent, four per cent and six per cent over the next three years. The system would then revert to a percentage-based system for the final two years.

Both sides in the dispute have questioned whether the other actually wanted to avoid a lockout.

“We all kind of feel that’s what they are looking for,” Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said of the league after a meeting of more than 275 players in New York this week. “If you look at the key principles of everything, we’re showing we’re willing to move, to sacrifice things.

“If you look at (the NHL) proposal, it’s not really the same type of feeling.”

Jiyai Shin wins Women’s British Open by 9 strokes

HOYLAKE, England - Jiyai Shin avoided mistakes in miserable weather conditions to cruise to a nine-shot victory at the Women’s British Open on Sunday.

With the last two rounds played Sunday, Shin held a three-shot lead after shooting a 1-under 71 in the morning. She then stayed calm while strong winds and heavy showers sent scores soaring at Royal Liverpool in the afternoon, closing with a 73 to finish with a 9-under total of 279.

She was the only player to finish below par, with fellow South Korean Inbee Park second with a 288.

Karrie Webb of New Zealand had put herself in contention with a 68 in the morning but finished with an 82 for a tie for fifth place, 12 shots back.

Play was abandoned Friday because of the bad weather, forcing two rounds to be played Sunday.

Five minutes later, Jared Marchi responded for the Dynamiters, and Connor Tetlock took the lead on a shorthanded effort with five minutes remaining in the opening frame.

The Nitros grabbed a two-goal lead near the

halfway mark of the second period off a powerplay goal from Riley Hellekson, but the TCats answered a few minutes later with their final goal from Ethan Rusnack.

Mousseau earned some redemption with the win, stopping 37

shots, while Hails took the loss for Creston, turning away 29 pucks.

The Nitros hit the road for a game against the Columbia Valley Rockies in Invermere on Tuesday before returning for a Friday game against the Fernie Ghostriders at home.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Am I strange? I like to keep my house clean and neat. In addition, I check for items that may need fixing so the house is not in disrepair. Although friends and family think I am “anal,” I do not feel that I am obsessive.

I also have many fears, some of which are entirely baseless. I am in anguish if I have to travel on a highway, imagining worst-case scenarios. Five years ago, my husband and I started driving 1,500 miles for our winter vacation. (Flying is too expensive.) With speed limits up to 70 mph, I am scared out of my mind. Last year, on the day of our trip, I awoke with a migraine and started to vomit. Another trip is coming up in the fall.

I might as well have a heart attack and get it over with.

I believe I inherited this type of thinking from my mother. I am sure that I am not alone with these problems. Can we change who we are? Please do not suggest counseling. -- Too Clean, Too Fearful Dear Too Clean: You can change if you are motivated to do so. We aren’t concerned about your clean house. You may be a little more attentive than most people, but it doesn’t sound as if your cleanliness is out of control. Your fear of highway travel, however, is an anxiety issue. A combination of therapy and medication is quite effective, but since you are not interested in therapy, look into alternative treatments such as relaxation techniques, acupuncture and yoga.

For more information, contact the Anxiety and Depression Association of America at adaa.org.

Dear Annie: You printed a letter about people parking in the striped area of handicapped zones. What do you do when your friends use the handicapped parking permits that belong to their parents or spouses when the disabled person is not in the car with them?

Several times, we girls have gone out together, and one of them uses the permit to get better parking at the venue. No one in the car needs assistance. Shy of creating a problem with my friends, I don’t know how to address this issue. It really bothers me.

Do you have some advice? -- Nancy Dear Nancy: It is important to speak up.

Simply say, “It makes me uncomfortable when you use a handicapped spot. I always feel that we are stealing a parking place from someone who really needs it. I’m grateful I don’t. Please park somewhere else.” Your friends may frown and say you’re being silly, but we guarantee it will have an effect on their future behavior. Good for you.

Dear Annie: Tell “Going in Circles in the Circle City” to run as fast as he can and never look back. His situation with a jealous girlfriend is toxic.

I was married to a jealous woman for nearly 40 years, and it was hell on earth. It’s a mystery why we stayed together, and I feel I wasted all those years. My wife passed away, and I wish I could say a bunch of nice things about our marriage, but it would be one gigantic lie.

If you want to live a life of torture, your stomach in knots, constant phone calls, having to justify going to the store, go right ahead and marry that otherwise lovely companion. I can tell you from personal experience that the jealousy never ends.

It’s like an incurable disease. For the sake of his health and welfare, he should take a fast hike. -- Paul from Pennsylvania Dear Paul: Extreme jealousy can make any relationship toxic, but it is usually rooted in insecurity, and sometimes counseling can help.

To all of our Jewish readers: A happy and healthy Rosh Hashanah.

Rocky mountain naturalists

Naturalists record birds along the Kootenay River Submit ted by Daryl C alder

In

the early 1800s a wealthy European adventurer, William Adolph Baillie-Grohman (1851-1921), travelled to the Kootenay region and became obsessed with developing an area far down the Kootenay River called Kootenay Flats near Creston.

Investing through the Kootenay Company Ltd., a London registered company, he obtained a concession of almost 320 square kilometres.

He planned to develop the upper and lower Kootenay valleys, writing a number of British magazine articles promoting the possibilities of British Columbia.

In his youth, he had seen how the embankment of the Inn River in the lower Inntal had turned unproductive flood land into profitable farmland.

The problem for Baillie-Grohman was that the Kootenay River kept flooding Kootenay Flats. He thought that by diverting the upstream portion of the Kootenay River into the Columbia River, large areas of fertile farmland could be created at Kootenay Flats.

However, the increased flow at Golden and Donald would have threatened to flood the newly built transcontinental railroad and other areas of the Columbia Valley.

The plan was thwarted by political pressure from the CPR and others, who managed ultimately to get the concession revoked and awarded to rival interests.

Before the concession was revoked, the Kootenay Company was held to one of the conditions of its grant, that a canal and lock must be

built to connect the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers.

The canal, at Canal Flats, took a massive investment, and because of the railway, was pointless. Only two ships ever used it and his investments failed.

In 1893, Captain Armstrong built Gwendoline at Hansen’s Landing on the Kootenay River and took the vessel north through the canal to the shipyard at Golden to complete her ‘fitting out’.

In late May of 1894, Armstrong returned the completed Gwendoline back to the Kootenay River, transiting the canal.

The canal remained unused until 1902 when Armstrong brought ‘North Star’ north from the Kootenay to the Columbia. The transit of this longer steamboat was only made possible by the destruction of the lock at the canal, and sadly the canal soon became a decrepit ditch.

Naturalists paddled the calm waters of the Kootenay River above North Star Landing, west of Wasa Lake. This waterway received much less traffic than the busy section below the Landing and despite its proximity to the highway and railroad, remains a quiet retreat.

The milky water hides the shifting sandbars and snags which frustrated the early travellers.

A variety of wooded areas and open meadows provide habitat diversity for a range of wildlife and birds.

Among the shrubs of the brushy clay and sand banks, there is something odd about snowberries. Is it their whiteness or their unusual spongy texture?

Snowberries are just plain odd-

edge.

These solid, heavy-boned birds are experts at diving to catch small fish, attracting attention when they perch and spread their wings to dry.

In flight, they often travel in Vshaped flocks that shift and reform as the birds alternate bursts of choppy flapping with short glides.

The Double-Crested Cormorant looking: plump and waxy with a brown stain on top from the leftover flower base.

Decorative white berries ripen in early fall, side by side with the last of the summer’s small pink flowers. The berries remain on the leafless, twiggy plant for most of the winter.

A member of the honeysuckle family also known as waxberry, it is one of the most widespread shrubs in B.C. Once started, it widens its hold until a low, bushy thicket about a metre tall is formed.

Important shelter and food for quail, pheasant and grouse, Ghost-

berries have a subtle and unexpected beauty compared to the brilliant red, purple, orange or blue of most berries.

Overhead and migrating south, a gangly double-crested cormorant is a prehistoric-looking, matteblack fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin.

Looking like a combination of a goose and a loon, this cormorant is common on clear, open waters and rivers to open ocean.

These large waterbirds with small heads and long, kinked necks roost in trees and on posts, and rocks and sandbars at water’s

Numb feelings hamper woman’s decisions Dear Wendy: I have realized that I am just existing, going through the motions of living. I am unable to feel and express any emotions like happiness, excitement, love and joy, unable to look forward to anything.

I think I am a positive person and I don’t feel that I am depressed. I don’t get excited about anything; it’s just like another day for me. It is just like I am watching from a blank wall as if I have been able to turn off all my feelings.

Because of this I am reluctant to follow my feelings as they could be manufactured rather than being a true feeling.

Is this what I have written in my plan? Do you have any recommendations on how to find the true part of me again?

I am finding it tough financially living on my own. I do realize that 2012 is a transition year for us all.

I have been asked to move into my boyfriend’s house so I could put

mine up for rent helping with the financial strain. I don’t want to sell my house right now because of the lowered real estate market but I am not sure about moving in with him either.

Do you and your guides see this move idea beneficial for ASK me? Do you see my WENDY boyfriend and me toWendy gether for a long Evano while? If not, do you see someone else in my near or far future?

My girlfriend and I have been discussing starting a small business together. Do you see this as profitable and worth our while? Do you see me finding a different job from the one I have at this time?

Numbed Out Dear Numbed Out: Well, I don’t think you are a positive person or you would not be feeling and acting the way you do.

I asked my guides and we agree with you that you are not clinically

depressed but you are emotionally confused.

However, we find your attitude when you look at situations in your life quite negative.

For example when you stated: “It is just like I am watching from a blank wall as if I have been able to turn off all my feelings”, “I don’t get excited about anything; it’s just like another day for me.” These types of statements are negative when you think and feel this way.

This type of attitude and thinking causes a negative energy in the molecular structure of your aura and negative energy begets negative energy. This means what you give in and out to yourself and others you get the same negative energy back. Therefore, it is a spiralling circle of negative energy constantly radiating from you and situations and people entering your life sporadically off and on.

It is recommended by my guides that you need to get educated and learn how to live and learn about life and acting like a mature, committable, responsible adult for yourself.

I am teaching a personal relationship class at the college in the fall. It would be beneficial for you to sign up for this class. If you choose to seek help elsewhere that would be a good idea as well.

The point is: you need to learn some skills that will help you understand who you are and what you want and how to obtain your dreams.

You have choices: you either change your attitude and make a commitment to yourself or you stay in this dysfunctional milieu that you have created for yourself.

So, in answer to your first question, no, you did not write this into your plan before you came back to this plane.

What you did was you created this type of environment because of the pain and heartaches that you have not dealt with on this plane in this lifetime.

When I asked my guides if it would be a good plan financially for you to move in with your boyfriend in 2012 they said not really.

When I asked my guides if it would be a good plan for you emo-

tionally to move in with your boyfriend in 2012 they said definitely not.

There is a possibility that you and your boyfriend may live together for a brief period on this plane in this lifetime. We do not see you staying together as boyfriend and girlfriend or getting married on this plane in this lifetime.

We see at the end of 2013, for sure 2014, there will be another man in your life if you so choose this to happen.

We feel you and your girlfriend will be successful if you start a small business. However, my guide advises not to borrow any money to start this business. He suggests starting on a small scale and expanding slowly.

We do not see you attaining a new job at this time because you are afraid to leave your job and venture into new territory.

Wendy
