Police nab suspect after shootout in Cranbrook Independent Investigations Office arrives in Cranbrook Sal ly MacDona l d Townsman Staff
A suspect is in hospital after a police shootout in Cranbrook on Tuesday night. At around 10:30 p.m., an RCMP officer tried to stop a vehicle that was suspected to have been carjacked near Creston earlier in the day. A car chase ensued, ending when the suspect reached a dead end at the top of Victoria Avenue, beside the College of the Rockies Gold Creek campus. Nearby residents reported hearing rapid gun shots, seeing a lone police car then hearing shouting. According to RCMP, during the incident an officer fired his service pistol, hitting the male suspect. The suspect was taken to hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. A female suspect who was a passenger in the vehicle is also in police custody. The police officer was not hurt. The scene has been secured pending an investigation by the newly formed Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO). Six personnel from the IIO were sent from Surrey to Cranbrook on Wednesday, arriving around 11 a.m. and taking control of the scene. A spokesperson for the IIO was not able to answer questions about the incident on Wednesday morning. “At this point I don’t have that information,” responded Owen Court, Senior Manager, Strategic Projects and Public Engagement. Court explained the process the IIO will now go through in this, their third investigation since it was formed earlier this year.

Carjacking victim tells of roadside nightmare Creston man victim of violent carjacking near Yahk, suspect caught in Cranbrook Lorne Eckersley Creston Valley Advance
Creston’s Alan Armstrong was making a routine run to Cranbrook on Tuesday evening when his trip turned into a nightmare that later ended with a shooting in Cranbrook.
“I was hauling parts on Highway 3 through Goatfell (west of Yahk) when I saw a guy waving me down on the road. He said he had run out of gas and had no money and needed a ride,” Armstrong said on Tuesday morning.

It was snowing and Armstrong was on a timeline, so he told the man and his girlfriend to get in quickly. “Then I said to him, ‘If you were going to Cranbrook, why was your car faced in the other direction by the road?’ I guess I
shouldn’t have said anything. He grabbed my head and smashed it against the door.” “Pull over, (mother…), or I’ll blow your (expletive) skull open!’ he screamed.

City seeks well for cattle drinking water Public health vet says livestock are drinking unsafe water at spray irrigation fields
S a l ly M acD o n a l d Townsman Staff
Efforts by the City of Cranbrook to install a groundwater well at the spray irrigation fields for cattle drinking water have proved unsuccessful. Cranbrook’s filtered effluent is piped to 2,200 acres of agricultural fields outside the city where it is used as irrigation for cattle grazing pastures and hayfields. Six ranchers range about 780 head of cattle on the spray irrigation fields under a contract with the city. However, annual sampling at the G1 Ponds, one area of the fields, has found that water drunk by the cattle is non-compliant with guidelines. In August 2012, the Ministry of Environment wrote to the City of Cranbrook advising that cattle should not be allowed to drink water at the G1 Pond. “The G1 Pond is located directly under a pivot and the U.S. EPA guidelines are consistently exceeded due to agricultural runoff. Cattle should be restricted from direct access to the G1 Pond,” wrote the MOE’s Chris Stroich. The city’s 2011 Annual Report on the Spray Irrigation Field reported 79,000 total coliforms per 100 millilitres at the G1 Ponds, sampled on
The spray irrigation fields near Cranbrook. September 2, 2011. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency set guidelines in 1973 that livestock drinking water should not exceed 5,000 total coliforms per 100 ml. Upon the request of Mayor Wayne Stetski, public health veterinarian Dr. Brian R. Radke evaluated the 2010 annual report, which found total coliforms of 64,000 per 100 ml at the G1 Ponds on September 16, 2010. Dr. Radke recommended that cattle not be allowed access to drinking water that fails to meet the EPA’s guidelines. “I would not recommend

using drinking water that consistently (for two consecutive samples) fails to meet the guidelines or if an individual sample greatly exceeds the guidelines (for example, if the total coliform count is 20,000/100 ml, or if the fecal coliform is 4,000/100 ml). The G1 Ponds sample results for 2009 (a single sample) and 2010 (all six samples) do not meet these criteria,” wrote Dr. Radke. Earlier in the autumn, the city hired a drilling contractor to install a groundwater well at the G1 Ponds. However, chief administrative officer Wayne Staudt told city coun-
cil on Monday, October 1 that the contractor did not find water at the site. “Unfortunately we drilled to a depth of 520 feet and didn’t find any water so we have suspended that drilling for the time being and we are going to look at other options of providing water to the cattle out there,” said Staudt. Drilling deeper is cost prohibitive, he went on, and the exploratory drilling has already cost between $8,000 and $10,000. “After 500 feet, the cost of the equipment that is necessary to operate the well gets very, very expensive – a much larger motor and stainless steel casting has to be used. The additional cost to make the well functional is also very large.” The city will look into other ways of getting clean drinking water for livestock to the site, Staudt confirmed. “We have been criticized by a few people for not providing fresh drinking water to the cattle. I believe this is the first time the city has drilled in an attempt to find fresh water. I think this council deserves some credit for spending this amount of money to do this and I hope our critics will take note,” Councillor Gerry Warner said in response.
“He was screaming and shaking. I got my truck pulled over and he pushed a gun against my head.” The carjacker pepper-sprayed Armstrong, then pushed him out of the truck before tearing off in the 2006 Toyota Forerunner. Armstrong said he was vomiting, he could barely see and mucous was pouring through his nose as he staggered around and tried to get his bearings. “I’d had enough wits about me to grab my cell phone as I was being pushed from the truck so I managed to dial 911. But of course there is no cell coverage out there.” He saw a residence nearby with a light in the window and made his way to the front door, where he pounded on the door, screaming and crying for help. But his ordeal wasn’t quite over. A male resident opened the door, armed with a rifle, fearing that he himself was about to be a victim. “It was dark and they weren’t about to let me into the house until they knew what was going on, so he brought his car around so the headlights
could shine on me,” Armstrong said. “Then they saw what a mess I was and brought me into their house.”
“He was screaming and shaking. I got my truck pulled over and he pushed a gun against my head.” Alan Armstrong
He used the residents’ landline to call 911 and was informed that Cranbrook and Creston RCMP and a police dog were already responding to the failed cell phone call. An ambulance arrived to transport Armstrong to Creston Valley Hospital, but it had to make a few stops along the way as the smell of pepper spray was overwhelming the paramedics, Armstrong said. He was released from hospital early Wednesday morning. While initial media reports said the carjacker was pulled over in Yahk, he was actually stopped in Cranbrook, Creston RCMP Staff Sergeant Bob Gollan said on Wednesday.
Independent Investigations personnel arrive in Cranbrook Continued from page 1
“The role of the IIO is essentially to investigate the shooting incident itself rather than any alleged offence committed by the individual. We essentially investigate any incidents involving serious harm or death to members of the public that involve police officers. Our focus would be on the actions of the police versus the individual involved,” he said. “What will happen is
we will conduct an investigation into the actual shooting incident itself. “At the end of that investigation if our chief civilian investigator feels that a recommendation for a charge should be made to Crown, we’ll make that recommendation. If not, we’ll be able to publicly report on all of the circumstances surrounding the incident itself.”

Taking out the trash
Garbage pickup rules change for Cranbrook Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff
Some Cranbrook residents have had their garbage turned down on collection day since changes were made to the city’s solid waste bylaw in September. Among other changes, Cranbrook’s sanitary engineer will no longer pick up garbage that is loose inside a trash can. “The change was made to alleviate issues similar to those shown in the photo (at right). It was also becoming common for the sanitary engineer to pick up a garbage container filled with loose items and as the container was being emptied, the wind would come up and blow garbage all over. Garbage needs to be packaged cleanly and neatly to avoid potentially having loose garbage blow around the neighbourhood. That provision in the bylaw is to try to help keep neighbourhoods
clean and tidy,” said Chris Zettel, corporate communications officer. Items such as pizza boxes, cigarette ashes and butts, garden waste and loose cups inside a garbage container but not a bag will not be picked up. Since September 1, the sanitary engineer has been issuing slips when garbage is not collected. The changes also limit each household to three garbage receptacles each week, instead of five. Anyone wishing to have more than three bags collected can purchase tags for each extra bag for $1.50 each at city hall. Each receptacle must be less than 100 litres and not weigh more than 20 kilograms each. Garbage containers must have a watertight cover, smooth rim and fixed handles, and be in good structural and sanitary condition. Plastic bags must be securely tied closed at the top and strong enough to be lifted into the garbage truck.
Child abuse offender agrees to strict release conditions C anadian Press
RICHMOND, B.C. — The B.C. man convicted in Thailand for sexually abusing a child has agreed to abide by strict conditions in order to be released into Canadian society. The lawyer for Christopher Neil told a B.C. provincial court judge in Richmond, B.C., that the 37-year-old will agree to follow a series of conditions that would allow the man his freedom. Christopher Neil pleaded guilty and spent five years in a Thai prison after an international manhunt was triggered when computer experts unscrambled an image of him abusing children.
The Crown is asking that the bail-like conditions be in place for two years, while the defence has asked for 18 months, however, the judge says legalities of what is permitted must still be sorted out. Neil faces no charges in Canada, but police arrested him when he arrived at Vancouver’s airport last week using a section of the Criminal Code aimed at protecting public safety. The conditions Neil is expected to abide by would include surrendering his passport, staying away from places where children under 16 years old would congregate and not having access to the Internet.
Cranbrook has changed its garbage bylaw to stop pickups such as this one.
Correction
An article in the Tuesday, October 2 issue of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, “Cranbrook expands fire protection”, contained incomplete information. While Cranbrook city council has supported the expansion of fire and emergency services to another 12 properties around the city, those properties are not yet protected. With Cranbrook’s support, the expansion will come before the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) board of directors, likely in November, who will ultimately decide where to expand services to those properties. If the board agrees, the 12 properties will be brought into the Cranbrook Rural Fire Protection Area, which the RDEK contracts to Cranbrook Fire and Emergency Services.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Jane said it was the very youth she hoped to empower that made her able to travel 300 days a year. As she watched Aurora, I realized this was so very true. Not only does Dr. Jane do this for the youth, she gets energy from them. She genuinely enjoys watching them imagine, create and achieve things. I don’t think Aurora knew Dr. Jane had photographed her. I don’t even think she knew who Dr. Jane was or why her mother had taken her along that day. I hope somehow she knows later on in life that a woman that has inspired millions was instead invigorated to continue her mission to change the world, just by simply watching her pretend. Her game, whatever it was, gave Dr. Jane Goodall strength for another day to continue inspiring youth around the world. When Dr. Jane stepped up to the microphone, she again looked poised, wise and spoke softly, yet she had everyone hanging on her words. Aurora continued to play nearby. Aurora sat behind me at the speech later on. She was tired, curled up with her head on her mother’s lap. It was a long day but for Dr. Jane, her evening had really just begun, thanks to a little girl named Aurora.

Cranbrook Community Theatre
Communications revolution What’s Up?
Two actors create, inhabit and populate small town Canada on the brink of a new era
It
Ba rry Coulter
is easy to empathize with Jane Parker — who “dreams a lot.” Her hopeful, ambitious path to a newspaper career has somehow slipped into that seam between dream and nightmare, and she has found herself in Pickle River, Ontario. There she encounters Roy Little, who has taken on a fantastic dream of his own. Remember the furor that accompanied the release of the iPad? How it would revolutionize the very core of our society? Well, here’s a communications revolution that licks that hollow — the advent of radio circa 1930, which is when Cranbrook Community Theatre’s seasonlaunching production takes place. Director Tanya Laing Gahr and Producer Sally Masters have brought “Babe Ruth Comes To Pickle River” out from Fort Steele, where it ran this summer, to the cozy environs of the Studio Stage Door. The play opens tonight (Thursday, Oct. 4) and runs through Saturday, Oct. 6. Roy (played by David Popoff) has decided that he is getting into the radio business, in Pickle River — a mining town hundreds of miles north of “civilization,” always hovering on the brink of extinction. Economically it’s dominated by mining interests, of course, and in information terms the local newspaper. But Roy has an advantage — he has the great Babe Ruth’s hand on his shoulder and voice in his ear like an advising angel. Ruth has recently gained his immense heroic stature by hitting 60 home runs, which made Roy “feel so good he quit the mine.” And so, having quit the mine, Roy is starting a radio station, which in Pickle River is against all odds.

Life truly imitates art in Jane’s and Roy’s (Lisa Aasebo and David Popoff ) on-going radio soap opera, on the air in Pickle River. But for how long? If Roy has the advantage of Babe Ruth as his inner voice and a romantic dreaming nature, Jane Parker (Lisa Aasebo) has the advantage of an indomitable spirit, a grand ability to think outside the box, and no small amount of desperation, being trapped in the boondocks to end all boondocks. When two different kinds of visions collide — like the newspaper and the radio — it can mean warfare. When two different visions unite — like Roy’s and Jane’s — then magic can ensue. Of course, our protagonists must still somehow find an end to that on-going soap opera they’ve created, get that jazz-a-ma-razz out over the airwaves without provoking the churchy set, and in short,
make all the right noises. Roy and Jane’s radio station buzzes along on top of the undercurrents of economic and social drama. But collisions are coming — will Roy’s passion, Jane’s genius and Babe Ruth’s sporting analogy advice be enough? Make no mistake: Babe Ruth is as central a character to the production as the dozen or so others — residents of Pickle River — that Popoff and Aasebo bring to life each by each and again and again, with persistent shifts in accent, physical carriage and — very important — headwear. Thus, a cast of two has inhabited and peopled an entire community. In this regard, the actors are aided by the set — simple, easily re-arrangeable and lit with browns and natu-
ral hues that give it the aura of a sepia tinged portrait. The soundscape is patterned after radio plays of yore. But it is largely the acting skills of Aasebo and Popoff who draw us in to Pickle River, Ontario — or anywhere, Northern Canada, really — with our “willing dispension of unbelief,” back to the days when a communications revolution swept us along by the heart. “Babe Ruth Comes To Pickle River,” written by Nelles Van Loon, features Lisa Aasebo and David Popoff. The play is directed by Tanya Laing Gahr and produced by Sally Masters. It runs Oct. 4, 5 and 6 at the Studio Stage Door in Cranbrook. Showtimes are 8 p.m.
Born Free: Sad ending, a joyous legacy
It
was just after Christmas in 1980 when Friederike Victoria Gessner was attacked and killed by a lion in Kenya. She had just turned 70. The newspapers called her death a ‘sad ending,’ but it was — and became —much more than that. Gessner was better known to the world as Joy Adamson, a world-famous naturalist who wrote the bestselling book “Born Free.” Describing her efforts to release a lion cub named Elsa back into the wild, “Born Free” captivated millions of people around the globe, inspired a hit song, and was made by into the academy award-winning film of the same name. Born and raised in Austria, Joy considered a career in either medicine or music,
but ended up doing neither. She drifted into a party-lifestyle instead, which included numerous sexual conquests, unwanted pregnancies, disposable husbands, and a few suicide attempts. The outbreak of World War II ended this AT THE upper-class decadence, LIBRARY and she fled to Kenya for safety. It was here she fell Mike in love with and married Selby British game warden George Adamson. And it was also here where she encountered her life’s work: Elsa — a lion cub orphaned when her mother was shot and killed trying to attack George. “Born Free: A Lioness of Two Worlds” chronicled Joy and her husband’s work with Elsa. It was published in 1960 by Collins and Harwell. A massive bestseller, Joy
followed it with “Elsa: The Story of a Lioness,” “Living Free: The Story of Elsa and Her Cubs,” “The Spotted Sphinx,” “Pippa: The Cheetah and her Cubs,” and “Pippa’s Challenge.” Joy also became an accomplished painter, and several books have also been published of her works. “Born Free” did something much more greater than financial returns: it introduced people to the possibilities of wildlife conservation; something many were skeptical about at the time. The book also spawned various wildlife societies, protected reserves, national parks, and saved a few endangered species. It was only after he read “Born Free” that zoologist Iain Douglas-Hamilton dedicated his life to saving the African Elephant.

Ice, Hurricanes disciplined by WHL for line brawl
The WHL brought the hammer down on the Kootenay Ice and the Lethbridge Hurricanes, doling out a total of $1,750 in fines for a third-period line brawl during a game last Saturday at Western Financial Place. Both teams shelled out $500, while Lethbridge was hit with an additional $500 for actions of a player, while Kootenay forked over an extra $250 for the same reason. Kootenay Ice forward Jon Martin has been suspended for three games for “actions versus Lethbridge,” according to the WHL’s discipline page, while Lethbridge forward Brady Ramsay was given a fivegame suspension. According to the league’s explanation, Ramsay entered the ice during a stoppage and initiated an altercation with an opponent. Trevor Crawley

Wild soccer team preparing for season TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor
The Mount Baker senior boys soccer team has been practicing for the last couple weeks. All they need now are some games. The Wild have been out on the pitch twice a week, but are working towards getting in some game action. The team didn’t get together right off the bat at the start of the school year and missed a tournament in Creston, but head coach Jesse Jarvis is hoping to pit the squad against some men’s teams in tune-up matches. Till then, Jarvis said there are a few things to work on. “Fitness and heading,” Jarvis continued, “because most guys are a little tentative to do it, so if we can be fearless, that’ll give us an advantage.” Wednesday’s practice consisted mostly of possession drills, heading drills and fitness work, as the boys sharpen up their skills in preparation for realtime game situations. There was so much interest in the senior team, that Jarvis was able to funnel off enough Grade 10 and Grade 9 students to form a junior boys soccer team. There wasn’t enough interested students to form a junior team last year, according to Jarvis, who is back for his second year as head coach and third year with the Wild program.

Most of the boys are Grade 11 students, with a few younger and a few older players mixed in. The team is mostly represented by local students, as opposed to half a dozen international students from Mexico, Brazil and Germany that formed a large chunk of the squad last year. The Wild worked their way into provincials last year, facing a young team in Nelson during zone play downs, winning a thrilling 3-1 match in extra time to earn the trip to Metro Vancouver. Seeing a young Nelson team perform like they did last year means that youth isn’t necessarily a disadvantage, said Jarvis. Without any game time experience on the resume yet, Jarvis still doesn’t know if the fact that his team is a little younger is a strength or not. “It’s not that we’re weak anywhere,” Jarvis said. “We’re just young.” First guaranteed game action for the team will be the Wild’s home tournament at Moir Park on Oct. 19-20. The following weekend, the boys will hit the road for an excursion across the 49th parallel for a tournament in Kalispell, Montana. The crucial zone play down against Nelson to determine who will represent the Kootenays at provincials will happen in the first week of November.

NBA announces penalties for flopping BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press
NEW YORK - The NBA will penalize flopping this season, fining players for repeated violations of an act a league vice-president says has “no place in our game.” Players will get a warning the first time, then be fined $5,000 for a second violation. The fines increase to $10,000 for a third offence, $15,000 for a fourth and $30,000 the fifth time. Six or more could lead to a suspension. The league said Wednesday that flopping will be defined as “any physical act that
appears to have been intended to cause the referees to call a foul on another player.” “The primary factor in determining whether a player committed a flop is whether his physical reaction to contact with another player is inconsistent with what would reasonably be expected given the force or direction of the contact,” the NBA said in a statement. “Flops have no place in our game -they either fool referees into calling undeserved fouls or fool fans into thinking the referees missed a foul call,” vice-president of
basketball operations Stu Jackson said. “Accordingly, both the Board of Governors and the competition committee felt strongly that any player who the league determines, following video review, to have committed a flop should - after a warning - be given an automatic penalty.” Commissioner David Stern has long sought to end flopping, believing it tricks the referees. But the league determined it would be too difficult for refs to make the call on the floor, preferring instead to leave it to league office reviews. Jackson’s
department already reviews flagrant foul penalties to determine if they should be upgraded or downgraded. “I’m all on board for it,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “I think it needs to be addressed. I think the steps they’re taking right now, I think will benefit the game. I do. It remains to be seen if it truly has an impact. But I think it’s a step in the right direction. “It’s not good for the game; nobody likes the flop. A majority of coaches don’t like the flop, particularly if you’re trying to build a solid defence.”

NHL executive meets with key sponsors as lockout continues Chris Johnston Canadian Press
TORONTO - With no end in sight to the NHL lockout, the league is doing all it can to ease the concerns of its sponsors. A small group of key clients gathered Wednesday afternoon in Toronto for an audience with chief operating officer John Collins, who provided an update on labour negotiations and took questions from participants. A source indicated that representatives from Molson, Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Kraft, Sirius XM and Scotiabank participated in the meeting. One attendee called the session “productive” and applauded Collins for taking part. “They were very transparent with us,” said the source, who requested anonymity. “I was looking around the room and the long-term, cumulative contract dollars around the table were probably at the $100-million mark. It’s a significant chunk of change for the league.”
The sponsors are an important group for the NHL to interact with during the labour dispute. Commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly have held a series of conference calls with business partners in recent months in an effort to keep everyone informed. Sponsorships played a significant role in the immense growth the league enjoyed after the 2004-’05 lockout. Twenty-two new partners signed on with the NHL over that period as it moved towards a calendar built around signature events, such as the Winter Classic and revamped all-star weekend. With the NHL on hold, sponsors have been forced to abandon plans to activate against the league and some have started channelling money into other projects. Typically, campaigns and product launches take months to pull together - posing a problem for league partners given the uncertainty brought on by the lock-
Sports
out. “We don’t know when the end line is,” said the source. At this point, no one does. Talks broke off quickly in New York on Tuesday and Donald Fehr, the NHLPA’s executive director, returned to Toronto that night. Bettman and Daly remain in New York and the sides have made no formal plans to meet again. Negotiations have yet to even really get off the ground despite the fact the lockout is almost three weeks old and the scheduled Oct. 11 start to the regular season will almost certainly be postponed before the end of the week. The primary reason behind the standoff is that the NHL wants to see salaries reduced immediately while the union believes all existing contracts should be honoured. As a result, the NHLPA is unwilling to consider an immediate rollback or any system that would see players pay more money in escrow.
Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera wins 1st Triple Crown in 45 years Dave Skre t ta Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Miguel Cabrera became the first player in 45 years to achieve the Triple Crown in the AL Centralchampion Detroit Tigers’ 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night. Cabrera went 0 for 2 with a strikeout, then left in the fourth inning of the regular-season finale. He received a standing ovation from the opposing fans. He finished with an American League-leading .330 average, 44 homers and 139 RBIs, becoming just the 15th player to achieve the milestone and the first since Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Max Scherzer pitched four innings for Detroit to test his sore right shoulder ahead of the playoffs, which the Tigers will open Saturday at home against Oak-

NEWS Man who fought the monarchy oath dies without becoming a Canadian Canadian Press
A man who refused to take the oath of citizenship, because of his opposition to the monarchy, has died with his decades-long dream of becoming a Canadian unfulfilled. Toronto civil-rights lawyer Charles Roach, who immigrated from Trinidad more than half a century ago, died yesterday of brain cancer at age 79. Roach had fought to change the country’s citizenship requirements
and allow people to swear an oath to Canada instead of the throne. He said the monarchy represented a legacy of oppression, imperialism and racism. A New Democrat MP is now calling on Ottawa to make Roach a Canadian citizen posthumously. Andrew Cash says he tried urging Immigration Minister Jason Kenney last week to fulfil Roach’s dying wish to become a Canadian citizen by pledging allegiance to

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, October 4, 2012 FREE TRANSIT RIDES TO CRANBROOK FARMER’S MARKET ENDS OCTOBER 6TH FALL DEER MATING SEASON APPROACHING; RESIDENTS URGED TO BE AWARE
Residents and visitors are advised to continue to exercise both caution and common sense this fall, as the late autumn deer mating (rutting) period begins. That is the message from the City of Cranbrook. In the weeks leading up to the rut (into November and December) bucks increase their displays of dominance and indirect threats. A dominant buck typically circles a rival with deliberate steps; back arched, head low and tail flicking. Bucks can also display dominance
by violently thrashing the bushes with their antlers. “We are into a transition period, where some does with fawns remain wary and potentially aggressive toward humans with dogs,” says Mayor Wayne Stetski. “Now we will likely also see an increase of particularly aggressive acts from the local urban buck population. Residents are reminded to please give deer plenty of space to move or leave the area. Do not walk closer to the deer; find another route.”

Canadians borderhopping to catch cheaper flights Canadian Press
OTTAWA — A new report finds that a soaring number of jet-setting Canadians are border-hopping to catch cheaper flights. The Conference Board of Canada report, issued Wednesday, said that about five million Canadians now cross the U.S. border by land every year to fly out of American airports. Higher airfares and fees and taxes in Canada, as well as differences in wages, aircraft prices and industry productivity makes it 30 per cent cheaper to fly out of the U.S. The Conference Board says fees and taxes make up about 40 per cent of the cost of an airplane ticket in Canada. The report suggests that while other factors are beyond government control, small reductions in the airfare differential could lead to traffic gains for Canadian airports and carriers. It estimates that changes to Canadian policies alone could bring more than two million passengers a year back to Canadian airports. Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told reporters Wednesday that Ottawa is “concerned’’ about the issue and that federal Transport Minister Denis Lebell “has been working on a consultation project with the airlines, with the airport authorities in Canada to try to see what we can accomplish.’’
The Conference Board analysis focused on Vancouver International Airport, Pearson International Airport in Toronto, and MontrealTrudeau International Airport, along with their cross-border competitors. “The fact that Canada’s largest airports are losing traffic to crossborder competitors matters because it undermines their role as national and international hubs,’’ said David Stewart-Patterson, the Conference Board’s vice-president of public policy. “When a Canadian hub airport loses passengers, it can lead to reduced flight frequencies, higher travel costs and poorer service for all Canadians.’’ One key difference between fares in the two countries is that in Canada, airports and navigational systems are mostly paid for by users — and have recently been upgraded, the Conference Board says. Meanwhile in the U.S., user fees do not cover those costs, the report said, adding that major investment in U.S. airport infrastructure and an accompanying increase in fees, subsidies or both will be required in the near future. The report acknowledges that reducing airport fees and taxes would reduce revenues for Ottawa in the short term, but much of the loss could be recaptured by a spike in revenues generated by an increase in traffic in Canada.
Rare dialect dies out Associated Press
LONDON — In a remote fishing town on the tip of Scotland’s Black Isle, the last native speaker of the Cromarty dialect has died, taking with him another little piece of the English linguistic mosaic. Scottish academics said Wednesday that Bobby Hogg, who passed away last week at age 92, was the last person fluent in the dialect once common in the seaside town of Cromarty, about 280 kilometres
north of Scottish capital Edinburgh. The Biblically-influenced speech — complete with “thee’’ and “thou’’ — is one of many fading dialects which have been snuffed out across the British Isles. Across the world, regional languages and dialects have disappeared as rural populations move to urban areas and compulsory education and mass media combine to iron out the kinks in local speech.

Car connected to boy’s confinement discovered C ANADIAN PRESS
GREENSTONE, Ont. — The RCMP say a car connected to a man wanted in the alleged confinement of a 16-year-old boy in Nova Scotia has been found abandoned on a logging road in northern Ontario. They say the search continues for Wayne Alan Cunningham, who faces charges of sexual assault and forcible confinement after a boy alleged he was held captive by two men at a home last month. The Mounties previously said the 31-year-old Cunningham could be headed to Calgary in a 2003 Hyundai Elantra with a Nova Scotia license plate, but now say his whereabouts are unknown. They say the Ontario Provincial Police discovered the car early today about 19 kilometres off the highway in Greenstone,
about 250 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ont. Cunningham’s co-accused, David James Leblanc, was arrested Sunday on a road in Greenstone after officers received a report of a man wandering with no shoes and light clothing in near-freezing temperatures. The RCMP say the 47-yearold man remains in hospital under police custody, but cannot yet be returned to Nova Scotia for medical reasons. Police have also released two more photos of Cunningham in their efforts to find him. One head shot, taken in 2006, shows a long-haired Cunningham. The second photo, which police say was taken more recently, shows Cunningham sitting in a vehicle with short, spiky THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Nova Scotia RCMP hair and a piercing in his left Wayne Cunningham is shown in an undated RCMP handeyebrow.

Cops stick to syrupy transport convoy Peter R akobowchuk Canadian Press
MONTREAL — In many places, gold shipments will get their own police escort. In others, nuclear materials might get that same security treatment. But what about Canada, eh? In this country, the protected material can be maple syrup. A convoy of 16 trailer-loads of the sweet stuff on Wednesday undertook an interprovincial journey — accompanied by a squad of provincial police cars.
The shipment stems from an investigation into a stolen haul from a Quebec warehouse and the sticky substance is on its way back home from neighbouring New Brunswick. Yvon Poitras, the general manager of the New Brunswick Maple Syrup Association, says the goods came from a New Brunswick exporter. ``(The convoy’s) under police protection going somewhere in Quebec,’’ he said. ``We’ve been asked
not to talk because it’s under investigation.’’ Police confirm that an investigation is underway, but are keeping mum. They will only say that a search was carried out on Sept. 26 at a company alongside a highway in Kedgwick, N.B. In August, the Quebec Federation of Maple Syrup Producers reported the theft of a massive quantity from the warehouse in StLouis-de-Blandford. The missing stock was discovered during a routine inventory

check. The burglarized warehouse held more than 4.5 million kilograms of maple syrup, valued at over $30 million. The exact amount of the theft was not disclosed. The syrup had been in temporary storage at the Quebec warehouse and was slated to be moved to a new facility. Etienne St-Pierre, the owner of S.K. Export Inc. in New Brunswick, said Wednesday that police arrived at his business last week: ``They seized all my documents that were in the computer.’’ St-Pierre said investigators were looking for someone who sold
him 10 truckloads of syrup. Police also seized 400,000 pounds — about 181,400 kilos, or 800 barrels, during their visit. The New Brunswick exporter says his syrup comes from about 35 small maple producers in Quebec and he sells his products in England, Germany, Denmark and the United States. ``But they are all small volumes,’’ he added. Quebec produces between 70 and 80 per cent of the world’s maple syrup and twothirds of the Canadian supplies exported to the United States, according to that provincial federation.
NOTICE REGARDING JAMES ROBERT MILLIGEN On October 25, 2011, the Insurance Council of British Columbia (“Council”) held a hearing into allegations that life insurance agent James Robert Milligen was recommending the public invest money to fund the shipment of gold from Ghana to Canada. Council found that Mr. Milligen was involved in an obvious scam and was using his position as a life insurance agent to mislead people for personal gain. As a result, Mr. Milligen’s life insurance licence was revoked for a minimum of five years. While Mr. Milligen is no longer licensed with Council, he continues to promote this scam to the public. Council is taking this opportunity to warn the public about Mr. Milligen and this scam. Anyone with questions can view Council’s decision at www.insurancecouncilofbc.com or contact Council at 1-877-688-0321.

Hearing loss: Are you affected? 3.5 million Canadians are affected by some degree of hearing loss; almost half of these people are under the age of 65. In most cases hearing loss develops so gradually, that it is often friends and loved ones that recognize the hearing loss before the affected person does. If you believe that you or a loved one might have some degree of hearing loss, read over the questions listed below.
Do any of these situations sound familiar? I sometimes feel that people are not speaking clearly (mumbling). When people address me from behind or from a few feet away, I have difficulty understanding them. I have difficulty understanding people in meetings or group discussions.
In situations with a high noise level, e.g. in restaurants, on the train, or at parties, I have difficulty understanding other people. I find it hard to hear birds singing, footsteps, running water, and other soft everyday sounds. Other people have told me that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear well.
I sometimes fail to hear the doorbell or telephone. If any of these situations are familiar to you or a loved one, we encourage you to get your hearing tested by one of our Certified Audiologists or Hearing Aid Practitioners. These highly trained professionals will take the time to explain your hearing test results and provide you with a personal demonstration of the latest hearing
aid technology available. Correcting your hearing loss can result in a significant improvement in your quality of life. Call today to book your no-obligation consultation, and get back to hearing all the sounds of life!

Hearing loss: What you can do about it. In most cases of hearing loss, you can correct it with a hearing aid. There is a Phonak solution for everyone, regardless of age, degree of hearing loss, lifestyle and budget. Your new hearing aids will help you regain your confidence and get you back to enjoying life’s sounds again. Find out more about our latest innovations in hearing aids at our 2 Week Special Event.
Have you heard about SoundRecover? It is common for people with hearing loss to have less hearing in the high pitches (i.e. the high frequencies). These high pitched sounds carry important information essential for understanding speech. Often it is not possible to make these sounds loud enough, even with modern hearing instrument technology. The goal of SoundRecover is to help bring the high pitched sounds into the usable hearing range.
To help explain SoundRecover, we will use an illustration of the piano:
«S»
The benefits of SoundRecover: ¡ Improved hearing of certain sounds and better overall speech understanding (most noticeable for high-pitched talkers such as women and children, softly spoken people, or high pitched sounds such as the sounds “s” or “f”) ¡ Improved hearing of certain environmental sounds (e.g. bird song, microwave beeps, door bell)
«SH»
SoundRecover takes the softer, high pitched sounds that you are unable to hear, and compresses them to a lower pitched region where you can hear better (see illustration). SoundRecover gives greater audibility of speech and everyday sounds.
Did You Know?
The SoundRecover technology is only available on Phonak hearing instruments! Ask your Certified Audiologist or Hearing Aid Practitioner about it.

Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, right, speaks to media to provide an update on Canadian food safety in Calgary, Alta., Wednesday, Oct. 3, 2012.
Lawsuit accuses XL Foods of poor quality control Chris Purdy Canadian Press
EDMONTON — A lawsuit alleges that XL Foods processed beef products knowing it had poor quality control systems and that it put profits above the safety of consumers. The statement of claim has not been proven in court and a judge will determine if it may proceed as a class-action lawsuit. An Edmonton man who got sick from E. coli after eating a steak on Sept. 5 is the first to be named as a plaintiff in the suit. The document says
Matthew Harrison suffered severe abdominal cramps, vomiting, headache, fever and diarrhea. He also spent some time in hospital. Alberta health officials have linked four other cases of E. coli in the province to contaminated steaks processed by XL Foods. Officials are investigating the source of another four cases and Saskatchewan health officials are also looking into 13 cases there. E. coli was first detected at the XL plant in Brooks, Alta., on Sept. 4, but it wasn’t until 12 days later that the Ca-
nadian Food Inspection Agency began recalling some of its beef products. Since then, several more alerts have been issued, recalling more than 1,500 XL products across Canada and in the United States. The agency temporarily shut down the plant last Friday. The suit alleges XL Foods failed to test its beef before putting it on the market and, when it learned people were getting sick, didn’t immediately recall all of its products. It further claims the plant’s processing equipment and testing
laboratory have not kept up with technological advances in the industry and not enough money has been spent on food safety staff. “Despite having knowledge of the poor quality control with their Books plant, the defendant concealed this information from the consumers, the general public and regulatory authorities,’’ says the suit. It further says the company wanted to maintain its revenue, profits, and market share and wished to avoid negative publicity.
Emergency beef debate granted in House C ANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The House of Commons will hold an emergency debate tonight on the beef recall crisis. Speaker Andrew Scheer has accepted an opposition call for a special debate on the massive recall of tainted beef
from an Alberta packing plant. Opposition MPs have been hammering away at the government all week over its handling of the situation, billed as the largest food recall in Canadian history. They claim government funding cuts to the

Canadian Food Inspection Agency have made the problem worse. The government insists it has actually increased the number of food inspectors and strengthened protec-
tions. House of Commons rules limit emergency debates to important matters requiring urgent consideration, making them relatively uncommon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Remedy any confusion, at least on your side. With your busy pace, you might regret nixing an event or an offer to take a break. Be aware that in the next several months, you might very well have a similar opportunity again; just don’t let it slip by. Tonight: Express what you have been holding back. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Note an emerging possessive streak. What is going on with you? You might need to take a timeout for a personal assessment and for working on your self-image. Consider making a much-needed change that you have in mind. It will only serve to benefit you. Tonight: Take care of errands first. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are comfortable with having a plethora of options. You might regret a recent decision you have made, but you will have an opportunity to remedy that remorse soon enough. Hang in there. A boss or higher-up acts in the most unexpected manner. Tonight: Out
and about. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You have several days before you have to make a decision. Think carefully about what you will choose. Make appointments to see your doctor and dentist -- not that you will have a problem, but it could prevent a problem from happening. Surprises lie ahead. Tonight: Get some R and R while you can. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could regroup and become upbeat about a difficult situation. Use this skill more often to avoid being upset or for trying to understand a different perspective. You might be hoping for some positive news. It could be delayed, but it will happen. Tonight: Find fun with a friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be willing to take a stand, no matter what is occurring. Key people might act erratically. Someone dotes on you adoringly; let this person know what you want. You feel upbeat, despite your many responsibilities. Tonight: Out and about. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Reach out for someone at a distance. A cohort could be distorting

a situation more than you realize. You will gain more information and insight about this person if you speak to him or her about opening up lines of communication. Tonight: Times are changing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a lot to say and do. A close associate steps in, as he or she needs attention and wants to express some creativity. Be careful -- the unexpected could occur with this person. An offer or invitation will reappear. This time, be sure to make a fast decision. Tonight: Try out a suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be overwhelmed by requests. In some cases, you will need to say “no.” Some of the key people in your life could be more unstable than usual. Give them space if a difficult conversation occurs. Tonight: Consider starting the weekend early. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Focus on errands and your own well-being. If you are working, you might experience a need to be very attentive. Take nothing for granted today -- not your pet, health, favorite plant or group of friends. Make
sure to give enough attention to each of these. Tonight: Put your feet up. Relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your creativity and ingenuity could take an interesting turn. You might wonder exactly what works and what will remain experimental, until you find the answers. Remember that with you, everything changes quickly. A child or loved one needs to open up, yet he or she might pull back at the slightest lack of interest. Tonight: Let the fun begin. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Anchor in and enjoy yourself. You could have a lot of questions about a real-estate matter and/or a domestic issue. You cannot push right now in these areas, but you can remain open to conversations when others are ready. You might feel differently in a few days. Tonight: Order in. BORN TODAY Author Anne Rice (1941), actress Susan Sarandon (1946), actor Charlton Heston (1923) ***

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My son passed away last year from cancer. Not even two months after his death, my daughter-in-law began dating a married man. She then became pregnant and moved in with him and my two young granddaughters. She had the baby 11 months after my son’s death. I am upset about her choice to move on so quickly. Worse, she has told my granddaughters that they can call this new man “Daddy” if they want to. I have a big problem with this. First, he is still married to his wife and has two other children. And second, these two little girls just lost their father and haven’t had a chance to grieve or process what’s going on. I am not going to judge the Other Man. He could very well turn out to be a good guy who simply needed to grow up. But I worry about my grandchildren. Everyone tells me not to say anything because she might take the girls from me. (She has done that before.) But I don’t know how much longer I can keep my mouth closed. -- Unhappy Grandmother Dear Grandmother: Your daughter-inlaw’s behavior seems disrespectful to your son’s memory and also to his children. But we suspect she is afraid of being alone and raising two children by herself. Although we understand the desire to speak up, we can assure you that it will serve no purpose. Please don’t create a situation that will estrange you from your granddaughters. They are going to need you, and you will want to be around to help them remember their father. Do what you must in order to remain in their lives, even if it means keeping your opinions to yourself. Feel free to write us anytime you need to vent. Dear Annie: I’m 34 and have two grandmothers. One has dementia, and the other has neglected her health to the point where diabetes keeps her from moving around. She’s stopped bathing because getting into the shower is too difficult, and she refuses my father’s suggestion to have an aide. I haven’t visited either grandmother in two months. I want to remember the first one the way she was. She doesn’t know who I am half the time anyway. She sometimes hallucinates, although pleasantly. She told us a long-dead politician had dropped by. I’ve always had difficulty being around the other because she spends all her time watching the news and hears only the worst things. My parents aren’t happy about this. One of my grandfathers spent the last three years of his life sick with every known illness, some of which were gross to see. He died with all of us at his side, so I got to watch him turn into a bloated, swollen, ulcerated heaving corpse. That’s why I’d rather not see my grandmothers anymore. Do any of your readers have the same problem? -- N.Y., N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Of course they do, and some choose to visit anyway, and others can’t be bothered. But we think it says a lot about one’s character to visit these family members because it’s the right thing to do, whether it makes you comfortable or not. It’s a kindness to your grandmothers and to your parents. Please try. Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Cape Coral, Fla.,” whose son is doing poorly in his college math classes. College is not high school. Too many students simply come to class unprepared and then blame the teacher. At the college level, students must take responsibility for their own learning. If the professors do not return his exam papers, he should go to the department head. The U.S. is the only country I know of where people proudly proclaim that they hate math, don’t understand it and don’t care. -- Retired Community College Teacher Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Earlier this year, Mayor Wayne Stetski challenged the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors to educate City Council about doing business in Cranbrook. To answer this challenge, we’ve chosen to undertake a survey of all companies doing business in the city. The

This is a rare opportunity for us to craft a collective voice about our experiences doing business here. But more importantly, it’s a critical opportunity to talk about how to build new ways to enhance business success in our community. We encourage you to have your say, and to take this confidential survey by visiting the

a d d r e s s b e l ow. I t should only take 5 minutes to complete: www.cranbrookchamber.com. As with any survey, it will be the most relevant and useful if we have large numbers of responses. We’re hoping for at least 500 responses, which is about 1/3 of the business licenses in the city.
Please fill out the survey, and talk to your business colleagues, asking them to do the same. And if you know
people who were in business, but are no longer operating, ask them to complete the survey. If you are aware of someone who is just getting started in business in Cranbrook, ask them to complete the survey. The survey will close on October 26, 2012 at 4: 30 pm. Once we’ve collated and analyzed the responses, we will report on the results not only to Mayor and Council but to the entire business community in Cranbrook.

Trudeau distances himself from father
Dean Benne t t and L auren Krugel Canadian Press
CALGARY — Justin Trudeau appeared to distance himself from his famous father as he made Alberta the first stop on his campaign to take over the federal Liberal party. Trudeau chose Calgary, home to the country’s energy company boardrooms, to say he would never use the wealth of the West to gain votes elsewhere. He said it is wrong to divide Canadians over natural resources. It’s a particularly sensitive issue in a province where resentment still burns over the introduction of the national energy program in the 1980s by Pierre Trudeau, who was prime minister at the time. That was seen as a grab of Alberta’s natural resource wealth to keep prices artificially low for the rest of the country. “It is wrong to use our natural wealth to divide Canadians against one another,’’ he said. “It was the wrong way to govern Canada in the past. It is wrong today. And it will be wrong in the future.’’ He didn’t mention his father by name during his speech. But later he told reporters he is proud of him and the values for which he stood. “But I am here to try and challenge a whole new set of realities and to try to bring a whole new generation of Canadians forward to the 21st century.’’ He pointed out that he had “nothing to do with the national energy program. I was 10 years old.’’ He added that he thinks any policies and any politics that divide the country are unhelpful. Trudeau also said it’s important to bridge the gap between those in-

There is not a province in this country that would find 170 billion barrels of oil and leave it in the ground.’’ Trudeau may find that Alberta’s beef with his family name has grown beyond his father’s link to the long-expired energy program. Instead, said Alberta Liberal Laurie Blakeman, he will discover that “Pierre Trudeau and the NEP’’
has morphed over three decades into a universal shorthand, a warning to stand on guard to slap the mitts of anyone trying to poach the province’s black gold birthright. “The NEP has taken on an iconic status that it doesn’t deserve,’’ said Blakeman, a five-term Liberal in a central Edmonton riding. “Most people in Alberta today don’t even know what it was. They couldn’t tell you what the three initials stood for. “But it is representative of things that they’re unhappy with — other people trying to take what they believe is theirs.’’ When the energy program was phased out years later, Alberta fig-
ured it was out billions of dollars and blamed the policy for increased mortgage defaults and business closures during lean years. It was considered just one grievance that turned the country west of Ontario into a Liberal wasteland in the early 1980s. Westerners suspected that big-government Trudeau initiatives were but a stalking horse to boost the fortunes of Central Canada. The Liberals won only two seats, both in Manitoba, in the 1980 election. In 1984, when the Liberals lost the election with new leader John Turner, there were, again, only two seats west of Ontario. Skip forward to 2012. “I know it’s not easy to be a Lib-
Canadian Press seeks Tommy Douglas spy-dossier C ANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA, Ont. — The Federal Court of Appeal has imposed a new deadline on Library and Archives Canada in the seven-year battle to lift the shroud of secrecy over the decades-old spy dossier on socialist icon Tommy Douglas. The court gave the institution 90 days to deter-
mine whether it has identified all relevant documents sought by Canadian Press reporter Jim Bronskill, who originally requested the Douglas files in 2005 under the Access to Information Act. The oral ruling from the bench came unexpectedly Wednesday after a panel of three
judges heard three hours of legal arguments from lawyers from the federal government and The Canadian Press. The court granted the appeal by the government of the ruling that
Court Justice Simon Noel. Files released so far showed the RCMP’s security branch spied on Douglas from the late 1930s to shortly before his death in 1986.
Indian firms fined for violating do-not-call list C ANADIAN PRESS

The Canadian Press successfully obtained last year for fuller disclosure of the file. The Federal Court of Appeal also tweaked some of the language of the ruling of Federal
OTTAWA — The CRTC has fined two companies based in India for breaking Canada’s telemarketing rules. The federal regulator says Pecon Software Ltd. and Avaneesh Software Private Ltd. were making unsolicited telemarketing calls
to Canadians who had registered their phone numbers on the national do-not-call list. The CRTC says the telemarketers would warn people their home computer was infected with a virus and offer to sell them online technical support or anti-virus software.
The regulator says the callers would sometimes also request remote access to the “infected’’ computers. Pecon has been fined $495,000, while Avaneesh has been fined $12,000. The CRTC has also ordered both companies to stop making the calls.
eral in Calgary,’’ Trudeau said. “It’s even harder to be a Liberal named Trudeau in Calgary.’’ Anne McLellan, a rare Edmonton Liberal MP and deputy prime minister a decade ago under Paul Martin, said the younger Trudeau will be ready for the fight and, with his winning smile and elan, could capture a lot of hearts first, with minds to follow. “He’s not unaware of the fact the name Trudeau is both a liability and an asset in Western Canada. He’s lived with that for 40 years,’’ said McLellan. She noted that Trudeau has “deep roots’’ in British Columbia, given that his mother was born there, his grandfather James Sinclair was a longtime B.C. MP and Trudeau spent five years teaching on the West Coast before entering politics. Political scientist Doreen Barrie said that for young people the Trudeau name carries the hope of a return to honour in a profession that has become devalued by partisan personal attacks, scripted questions and vapid talking points. “My students are so cynical and so turned off politics because of the tone of the debate,’’ said Barrie of the University of Calgary. She said she expects Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives will soon launch attack ads to burn into voters’ minds an image of Trudeau, who has said little on major policy issues, as a pretty-boy air head not ready now — if ever — for the big chair. And they will tie him to the national energy program. “For the Conservatives, it will be the NEP all day, every day and they will try and exploit that.’’
Obituaries Loretta Mary Hohmann “Nana” 1938 - 2012 It is with deep sorrow that the family of Loretta Mary Hohmann announces her passing at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta on Friday, September 28, 2012 at 73 years of age. Loretta was born on October 23, 1938 in Grand Falls, Newfoundland and moved to British Columbia in 1953. She met Edward in Chilliwack and they were married in 1957. They raised five children together in various locations throughout British Columbia. Edward was a logger and they lived a logging family lifestyle. They lived in Salmon Arm for quite some time, and it is where Ed passed away. The last 7 years of Loretta’s life were spent in Cranbrook where she loved the location and enjoyed the beauty and the lifestyle. Loretta’s sudden and unexpected passing was a shock to all that knew her and she will be sadly missed. Loretta is survived by her brothers Kevin and Michael; her sister Mary; her children Michael, Len (Karen); Kelly (Silvia), Heidi, Loriann (Michael); 15 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Ed Hohmann; brothers John and Gerald and sisters Selina and Rita. A visitation for Loretta will be held in the McPherson Funeral Home Family Room in Cranbrook on Friday, October 5, 2012 from 10:30 am until 12:00 pm. Loretta’s memorial service will held at 1:00 pm on Friday, October 5, 2012 at McPherson Funeral Home Chapel in Cranbrook. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Worker recalls fireball at Winnipeg fuel plant Ste ve L ambert Canadian Press

Territories prep for residential school lessons C ANADIAN PRESS
Northern schools are preparing for mandatory classes on residential schools in the very communities where their impact may have been the worst. Teachers from across Nunavut and the Northwest Territories are in Yellowknife this week to learn how to deliver the new course in Grade 10 classrooms for the first time later this month. Natives throughout the country were sent to residential schools, but
the lingering impacts may be strongest in the strongly aboriginal populations of the N.W.T. and Nunavut. Teachers say they are concerned the classes may stir up emotions and release unresolved anger in some families. Parents will be informed when the material is to come up in class. Mental health counsellors will be standing by to help students, parents and teachers deal with any fallout.
WINNIPEG — Fire investigators pored through the charred, twisted remains of the Speedway International fuel plant Tuesday as a worker recalled seeing a huge ball of fire erupt into the sky — the start of a massive blaze that caused $15 million in damage. “The flame ball that went up was a methanol tank in the back, behind,’’ Evan Basarowich said, as he pointed to the remains of a large warehouse from the outskirts of the company’s property, marked by yellow police tape. Next to the empty shell of a warehouse were three rail tanker cars filled with flammable liquid. The normallyblack paint on one car was scorched white. “We were just lucky CP Rail and the fire department and the police department responded the way they did to get those other tankers out of the way ... or it could have been a lot worse than what it really was.’’ Basarowich and fire officials say there was a lot of luck that prevent-
ed Monday’s blaze from becoming a disaster, including calm winds and the unusual fact the plant was empty. Basarowich, who helps make biodiesel, and some of the company’s other eight employees normally start the day’s second shift at 3 p.m. But they were told to come in late Monday because the company was still awaiting a shipment of magnesol, a powder used to purify biodiesel. Workers on the first shift had gone home early for the same reason. Around 5 p.m., a fire alarm went off. Basarowich, who lives not far away, was called in to
see what was going on. Firefighters were already there and had set up an area for workers to gather on the grounds. “When I showed up, I talked to some of the firefighters and they told me to go to the command centre,’’ Basarowich recalled. Standing there, Basarowich saw the mushroom-shaped cloud erupt and felt the blast of heat rush over him. The cloud could be seen for dozens of kilometres in any direction. A methanol tank had exploded and firefighters were worried rail cars, trucks and large storage barrels would be next.
Basarowich and others were told to leave. Some of the 60 firefighters on the scene started dousing the rail cars to keep them from catching fire, but could not attack the blaze directly for about five hours. Businesses and homes in a one-kilometre radius were evacuated. As the evening wore on, firefighters retreated twice to remain out of the way of barrels that exploded without warning. Eventually, crews gained the upper hand and started beating back the flames. City officials gave the all-clear shortly after midnight and residents were allowed to return home.
