Good time to be a job seeker, stats suggest SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

There are fewer jobless people in the Kootenays than anywhere else in the province. According to a BC Stats report released on October 11, the unemployment rate

Only three per cent of the Kootenay population was jobless in September: BC Stats

in the Kootenay region in September was just three per cent. That is significantly lower than the provincial average for the month, at 6.7 per cent. “Unemployment rates are

like polls; they are a snapshot in time and shouldn’t be used to base broad assumptions on. Having said that, a rate of three per cent is probably a record for the Kootenays. I cannot recall

such a low rate at any time in my 12 and a half years as an MLA,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, who is also B.C.’s Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas. The Kootenays’ unem-

ployment rate has been dropping consistently all year, since peaking at 7.8 per cent in January. Last month was the lowest it has reached in at least two years. Based on figures from

January to September 2013, the Kootenay unemployment rate is 4.9 per cent. During the same period in 2012, the rate was 7.3 per cent. The lowest annual rate in the past 10 years was in 2008, when 4.9 per cent of the population were jobless. Last month, 796,000 people were employed in the Kootenays, leaving just three per cent of the region’s population without jobs. Elsewhere in the province, the northeast region had a rate of 4.9 per cent and Victoria had a rate of 5.3 per cent. On the higher end of the scale, Vancouver, the mainland/ southwest region and Abbotsford/Mission all had an unemployment rate of 7.1 per cent.

Rotary Way extended from 30th Ave. North Work has started to connect the bike and pedestrian path to Rails to Trails SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

THE GREAT PUMPKIN: Wally Smith of Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement checks out the official weight of Kate Ruoss’s gargantuan Atlantic pumpkin, while Kate herself looks on. The vast vegetable was grown out at Fort Steele Heritage Town and was the subject of a “Guess the Weight” contest on Thanksgiving Sunday. For the verdict, see Page 2.

A new piece of Cranbrook’s popular cycle and walk trail Rotary Way has been paved. The 400-metre section begins at the traffic light on Highway 3 opposite the Chamber of Commerce, then runs beside Joseph Creek to the intersection of Kokanee Drive, Panorama Road and 30th Avenue North. The newly paved trail is part of what’s known as the Rotary Way Link. When it is completed next year, the Link will extend Rotary Way from 30th Avenue North to the start of North Star Rails to Trails behind Home Depot.

It took five men, including Fort Steele employees Ryan Yadernuk and Dennis Juhasz, to carry Kate Ruoss’s big Atlantic pumpkin over to get weighed on Thanksgiving Sunday. The scale for the endeavour was lent by Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement.

Big pumpkin draws a crowd at Ft. Steele Courtesy Jenny Humphrey

This summer, Kate Ruoss of Cranbrook grew a gargantuan Atlantic pumpkin from one of two seeds given to her in the spring. Her garden at Fort Steele’s Cohn House is always productive but Kate had always wanted to try to grow one of these giant squash. After germinating two seeds and selecting the strongest plant, she anxiously awaited the flowers. Many trips were made to her garden waiting for the first female flower to open. Not wanting any cross pollination with other squash, Kate hand

pollinated the first female flowers. After two fruit were assured, only one baby squash was kept. “Kate’s new baby,” as the squash became affectionately known, was carefully nursed through summer and photographed many times by tourists. Under the watchful eyes of Ryan Yadernuk and Dennis Juhasz, Fort Steele employees, the pumpkin survived with only one nibble from the deer, until this Thanksgiving Weekend. On Thanksgiving Sunday the Atlantic pumpkin was the topic

for a “Guess the Weight” contest, and two passes to the Halloween Spooktacular were awarded to those who guessed the weight most closely. It took five men to carry the pumpkin to the weigh scale brought in and kindly lent for the occasion by Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement. The pumpkin weighed in at 225 pounds. Two people tied for the win: Deborah Lye of Kimberley and Amy Korth of Rosen Lake, who will be enjoying the upcoming Halloween Spooktacular.

Rotary Way linking up to Rails To Trails Continued from page 1 Cyclists and walkers will be able to get onto Rotary Way at any point of its route in Cranbrook and follow it through town, over the Link, onto the Rotary Way Connector from Theatre Road to Wildstone Golf Course, and end up on North Star Rails to Trails, the 25-kilometre paved trail to Kimberley. “There’s the Rotary Connector that got us to the railway crossing (at Theatre Road), and now we are working on a Rotary Link to get the Connector to the cycle/walk trail,” explained Chris New, the City of Cranbrook’s director of leisure services. The Rotary Club of Cranbrook was instrumental in paving the two-kilometre Connector, which was officially opened last year. Now the club is working with the City of Cranbrook to see the Link completed. “Starting next construction season in 2014, we will do what we now call the Rotary Way Link. This will be the link that goes from the Connector to the existing Rotary Way,” said the

Rotary Club’s Ron Popoff. Paving work on the 400-metre section from 30th Avenue North to the highway began earlier in October and is expected to be complete later this week. Cyclists and walkers will be able to utilize the new section right away, though it won’t be officially opened until the rest of the Link is complete. “We probably won’t paint it right away; we’ll probably do everything at one time,” explained Chris New. “The paved portion is just one part of it to get the two trails together.” From the traffic light on Highway 3 outside the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Way Link will travel along McPhee Road past the transfer station and Home Depot, then connect with the Rotary Way Connector and North Star Rails to Trails behind the railway crossing at Theatre Road. The work was made possible thanks to a $280,000 grant from the B.C. government’s

Work has started near 30th Avenue North to connect Cranbrook’s Rotary Way bike and pedestrian path to the North Star Rails to Trails. Community Recreation Program. The Rotary Club pitched in the remainder needed to see the Rotary Way Link completed. About a third of the grant went to replacing old wooden bridges over Joseph Creek on the Rotary Way in Kinsmen and Idlewild Parks. It’s all about creating a community that is more friendly to walking and cycling, said Popoff. “The ultimate goal from Rotary’s perspec-

tive is: we need to become more active for utilitarian and recreational purposes. We need to find other ways rather than sitting in our car all the time and relying on vehicles to get us around. We need to realize that getting out and about – walking and cycling on Rotary Way – gives a great sense of social belonging in our community, and it’s a vital piece for staying active and being participatory in our community for all ages.”

IH offering drop-in flu shot clinics in November Barry Coulter

It’s that time of year — as the fall gets looking a little more wintery, flu season rears its head, and folks start talking about flu vaccinations. Interior Health is offering several drop-in clinics for the public next month. The shots are free for eligible people in several categories. The shots will take place at the Tamarack Centre (180 - 1500 Cranbrook St.) on Thurday, Nov. 7 (9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.), Friday, Nov. 8 (9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.) and Wednesday, Nov. 13 (9 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.). There will be another clinic at the Cranbrook Health Unit (20 - 23rd Avenue South) on Friday, Nov. 15, from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. “It is important to get a flu shot yearly because flu viruses change from

Interior Health flu shot clinics will be at the Tamarack Mall Nov. 7, 8 and 13, and the Cranbrook Health Unit Nov. 15. year to year,” reads the Interior Health website. The flu is caused by influenza viruses A and B. There are different strains of the flu virus every year. “Each year the influenza (flu) vaccine is updated to include the current viruses that are circulating,” the website reads. According to the IH

website, this year’s vaccine contains three different flu strains: •A/California/7/2009 (H1N1) pdm09-like • A / V i c t o ria/361/2011 (H3N2)like virus •B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus Most people get better without problems. But sometimes the flu

can lead to a bacterial infection, such as an ear infection, a sinus infection, or bronchitis. In rare cases, the flu may cause a more serious problem, such as pneumonia. Certain people are at higher risk of problems from the flu. They include young children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with long-term illnesses or with impaired immune systems that make it hard to fight infection. The flu shots are provided free for: • People 65 years and older and their caregivers/household contacts; • People of any age in residential care facilities; • Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts; • Children and ado-

lescents (6 months to 18 years) with conditions treated for long periods of time with Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin/ ASA) and their household contacts; • Children and adults who are very obese; • Aboriginal people; • All children 6-59 months of age; • Household contacts and caregivers of infants and children 0-59

POLL WEEK of the

months of age; • Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy during the influenza season and their household contacts; • People who work with live poultry; • Health care and other care providers in facilities and community settings who are capable of transmitting influenza disease to those at high risk of influenza

complications; • Individuals who provide care or service in potential outbreak settings housing high risk persons (e.g., crew on ships); • People who provide essential community services (First Responders, Corrections Workers); • Inmates of provincial correctional institutions.

Do you know what to do when an earthquake strikes? Canada’s largest earthquake preparedness drill is set for Oct. 17. As part of this year’s Great British Columbia ShakeOut, thousands of British Columbians will “drop, cover and hold on” as part of an earthquake drill. Similar events are taking place across Canada and worldwide. Last year, there were more than 590,000 participants in the Canadian event. As part of this year’s Great British Columbia ShakeOut, thousands of BCers will “drop, cover and hold on” as part of an earthquake drill, with other similar events taking place worldwide and drawing millions of participants. B.C.’s event, led by the B.C. Earthquake Alliance and the Insurance Bureau of Canada, is set for Oct. 17 at 10:17 a.m. The province of

British Columbia has also officially proclaimed Oct. 17 ShakeOut BC Day. “While potential earthquake hazards depend on location, everywhere in British Columbia is considered at high risk in relation to the rest of Canada,” theShakeOut BC website advises. “For example, on January 26, 1700, a magnitude 9 earthquake (similar to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake off the coast of Japan) shook the entire province as well as Washington, Oregon, and California, and generated a massive tsunami.” In the East Kootenay, more than 3,500 are registered to participate. Most of the participants are part of the regional school districts, but provincial government employees, non-profit organizations and others are also taking part, including the Cranbrook Daily Townsman. The components to an earthquake drill are:

• Alarm — During the alarm stage, a loud warning device alerts employees the drill is beginning. • Response — During the response stage, everyone heads for cover. Participants are to get under a desk, heavy table, chair or doorjam. Move away from windows, glass or light fixtures. If there is no cover available, crouch and try to protect your head. • Evacuation — After the shaking has stopped, evacuate the building and move to a pre-determined muster station. • Assembly and roll call — Designated personnel will take the roll call at the muster station. In the event of a real earthquake, a search and rescue team would be dispatched to find missing people. • After the drill, an evaluation should be conducted to identify snags or potential problem areas.

and update emergency preparedness plans and supplies, and to prevent damage and injuries. To register to participate, go to www.shakeoutbc.ca.

Jobless rate in Kootenays three per cent Continued from page 1 MLA Bennett said the coal industry, forestry and tourism are keeping unemployment low in the region. “The coal mines are the biggest employer and even with lower coal prices, they are still having to replace retiring workers. Their workforce has grown by a thousand workers in the past five years. “Canfor is also very busy. There are fewer jobs in forestry than there used to be, but forestry has stabilized in our region, so many people are working in that industry. “Tourism is coming back, not up to the same standards as 2007-08 before the U.S. economic crash, but getting stronger,” Bennett said, adding that Kootenay residents also commute to work in the northern B.C. and Alberta oil sands. “When you look at all these opportunities, you can see why the rate is as low as it is.” Local employers are now struggling with the opposite problem: there are too few skilled workers to fill positions, Bennett explained. “The skills shortage is upon us – it is not “coming”, it is actually happening right now. I see it every day in my job as Minister as I trav-

el the province. This is due in part to how many baby boomers are retiring and making space for people to move into good jobs.” Across B.C., unemployment is higher for men (6.3 per cent) than women (6.2 per cent). Men aged 45 to 64 are in the best position (4.5 per cent), compared to men aged 25 to 44 (6.1 per cent) and 15-24 (12.8 per cent). Similarly, women aged 45 to 64 in B.C. have a low rate (5.6 per cent), with women aged 25 to 44 at 5.8 per cent and women aged 15 to 24 at 9.9 per cent. Most people are employed on a full-time basis, with 21 per cent of people with jobs working part-time. But it varies greatly for men and women: 13.4 per cent of men work parttime, versus 29.3 per cent of women. In Canada, B.C.’s unemployment rate is among the lowest at 6.7 per cent. The western provinces are in the best position: Alberta and Saskatchewan have the lowest rates at 4.3 per cent, followed by Manitoba at 5.5 per cent. The highest unemployment rates are in the Maritimes, with Prince Edward Island at 11 per cent, and New Brunswick at 10.7 per cent.

Thankful for the codgerhood “Is life not a hundred times too short for us to stifle ourselves?” Friedrich Nietzsche “I have only this to say about growing old – I didn’t notice it happening and I don’t agree with it.” Paul Getty nowing full well that I was going to be over-fed on Thanksgiving Day, I opted to go for a walk the day before. There’s a slope on the south-east side of Eager Hill where I have never set foot and it had bugged me every time I drove by. Folk these days are always going on about their ‘bucket lists’ but I don’t think I have one. There seems to be nothing that I just have to do before I kick the proverbial bucket, but that slope just nagged at me, like a toothache, which I have left too late to suffer. Anyway, on the Sunday before the feasting began, I ate a frugal breakfast, packed a small lunch and set off with alacrity and a ski pole for support. The climb turned out to be rather like the lives of our ancient ancestors: nasty, brutish and (thankfully) short. I’d estimated a half hour for me to get my old

body up there but it took me 45 minutes. There were no apparent trails, felled trees everywhere for me to stumble over and thick grass through which I couldn’t see. I got there without mishap but, expecting to sit a while and bask in my dotage and the bright Fall sunshine, found myself instead in the company of a group of young people and their dogs. By sheer coincidence, I had called at the house of the folk that planned to feed me the dinner on the next day and had taken with me a few biscuits in order to pacify their very large dog. But the family was out – no doubt shopping for even Peter more food – so when I sat the bench at the top Warland on of Eager Hill, I was well supplied with biscuits of the doggy kind. I made a large number of new friends, especially the golden retriever who not only wanted to share my lunch but, naturally for her breed, also felt that she should sit on my lap while she ate it. We had a discussion about that issue. The people were lovely too. I guessed that they were university students from both Kimberley and Cranbrook, very polite and pleasant ones, and they asked me to take a photograph of them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

That’s where the problems began. I’d never handled one of those iPad thingies, not desiring to be ‘nursed on the tele-communications teat’, as someone so nicely put it, and made a mess of the job. I could not get the process right – all thumbs for several tries, I was – but patience prevailed and the students thanked me without smirking as they departed with their tribe of dogs. I was extremely thankful that afternoon before Thanksgiving as I carefully made my way down towards my car. I was thankful to my parents who had passed on the genes that enabled me, despite my age, to climb up that slope, thankful for my lovely wife with whom I had shared 60 years of fun in the mountains, and to her for helping me to choose a home in this gorgeous valley, thankful to my friends who have walked the hills with me and those that still do, and thankful to those who were going to be home all day cooking that huge meal I was anticipating. I believe I was grinning like a clown as I reached my car without mishap. As I drove into town, I realized that I was also extremely grateful for the fact that I am not forced by necessity or by convention to carry and use one of those phone and camera gadgets. I am a codger and enjoying every minute of it, and giving thanks.

Avs ready to hit the road to open new season TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The men and women’s Avalanche are ready to roll into the new season, kicking things off with a road trip to Vancouver Island where they will face Camosun College and Vancouver Island University for a four-game stretch. The women’s team has been together since the end of August, working with the new recruits in practice and tuning up in some preseason tournaments at home and abroad. Now, it’s time to put all that work to the test. “I think everyone’s getting a little more confident in their play, here at the college,” said Allison Pepper, who plays middle. “It’s a lot different pace from high school, getting into the college pace. Everyone got to play in the last two tournaments and they’ve gotten a bit of a confidence boost, knowing that they do belong on the team and that they can play at this level and so I think everyone’s pretty pumped to get into the season.” Pepper, along with Jen Pilon and Kelsey Thompson, form the leadership corps of the women’s team, as all three are returning veterans from last year. While the games themselves will be tough, the whole trip in itself—four games in as many nights—will test the body and the mind. “There’s not much I can really do—it all de-

pends on them, and each player is different,” said women’s head coach Agata Bendkowska. “Some struggle still, some of them are already good to go. I think that time is the right answer, they just need experience and time and as many playing situations as they can possibly get, to get over the first-year nerves.”

“We just have to play simple volleyball. If we can keep our game, it doesn’t matter what they do, we can play with the best of them right now.” Kelsey Thompson

While the road trips can be a strain on the players, it helps towards team bonding, said Pilon. “It’s hard. It’s a long time to be away, and homework-wise and school-wise, you got to prepare well in advance,” she said. “But it’s fun too, the trips is when our team really comes together and we really get to know each other and bond.” Pepper added that it’s important to take care of the body with proper nutrition and rest. “You have to look after yourself and you have to figure out what you need per game to be

mentally and physically prepared, so this will be a good experience and hopefully we can succeed.” With more than a few first-year players on the team, it will be a challenge to see how they adapt to their first experience on the road at the college level. However, Bendkowska feels that they’re ready. “I think that, working so hard from the end of August and having those two tournaments, I feel like the girls are definitely ready, and they cannot wait for the first game, but at the same time they are very scared,” Bendkowska said. “They know, and I can feel, that the pressure is huge. “…I’m hoping that we can fight that anxiety, fight that pressure and go there and play well and come back with some wins.” Though this is the first Pacwest league matches, the team has refined their game through two exhibition tournaments at home and in Red Deer. Focusing on their own game and their own needs within the matches will be key to victory, said Thompson. “We just have to play simple volleyball. If we can keep our game, it doesn’t matter what they do, we can play with the best of them right now,” said Thompson. “We’re strong enough hitters, defence-wise too, we can play with them all.”

Boston earns 1-0 win over Detriot for AL series lead NOAH TRISTER Associated Press

DETROIT - Once again this October, one run was enough. The Boston Red Sox scored it - and now they lead an AL championship series that seemed to be slipping away last weekend. John Lackey edged Justin Verlander in the latest duel of these pitching-rich playoffs, and Boston’s bullpen shut down Detroit’s big boppers with the game on the line to lift the Red Sox over the Tigers 1-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 advantage in the ALCS.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2013

Mike Napoli homered off Verlander in the seventh inning, and Detroit’s best chance to rally fell short in the eighth when Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder struck out with runners at the corners. “This game had the feel it was going to be won or lost on one pitch,” Boston reliever Craig Breslow said. “Lackey kept us in the game. Every inning where he was able to throw up a zero gave us a lift.” Despite three straight gems by their starters, the Tigers suddenly trail in a best-of-seven series they initially ap-

peared to control. Game 4 is Wednesday night at Comerica Park, with Jake Peavy scheduled to start for the Red Sox against Doug Fister. Peavy set the tone Tuesday during a pregame news conference, when he sounded miffed that so much of the attention was focused on Verlander before Game 3. “It’s been funny for me to watch all the coverage of the game coming in,” Peavy said. “Almost like we didn’t have a starter going today. Our starter is pretty good, too.” Lackey backed that up and

then some. He allowed four hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the stadium towers went out. “I think that little time off gave him a chance to slow down a little bit. He was excited and pumped that first inning,” Boston catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. “Kind of getting excited with his slider, throwing a little too hard and leaving it over the middle, but he was still pretty effective.”

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with a wonderful guy for a year. We are in our mid-20s. Both of us are interested in moving abroad in the near future. When we started dating, we just wanted to have fun. I have since graduated and am currently working. He is also a graduate, but has yet to find a job. The problem is, I have begun to really care for him and want to change our status from “just dating” to “in a relationship.” However, he still doesn’t want to take that step. He says it’s because he hasn’t started his career yet. He also thinks we are too young to be thinking about marriage, and I agree with that. I’m not interested in marrying in the next few years, but I do want to be in a relationship with someone for a few years before I start thinking about marriage. This has left me wondering whether I should take it down a notch and enjoy whatever time we have left together, or walk away. -- Confused and Sad Dear Confused: If you’ve been dating for a year, you are already “in a relationship” whether he acknowledges it or not. He believes making it official is akin to a pre-engagement, and he’s not ready for that. If you enjoy being with him, feel free to continue and use the time to “start thinking about marriage.” Relationships don’t come with guarantees. Only time will help you decide. But until there is a commitment in place, we suggest that you not build your choices around his. Do whatever is best for YOU. Dear Annie: Several years ago, I was cut out of the life of a family member I had previously been close to. No explanation, nothing. Suddenly I’m persona non grata. I tried to talk to her and asked what I had done. I told her that if she would just discuss it with me, I would apologize, if necessary, although I won’t apologize for something I don’t know I’ve done. I just found out that this person is now a grandmother. I posted a congratulatory message on her Facebook page, and now I’m blocked. When the rift occurred, I asked my parents to intervene and find out what was wrong. They refused, saying they didn’t want to get involved. I asked my ex-friend’s parents and was told it wasn’t any of their business. I tried writing this person and asking for an explanation. No response. I no longer care to reconcile, but I would still like an explanation. -- Too Late To Try Again

Annie’s Mailbox

By Hillary B. Price

Dear Too: We’re sorry you have been stonewalled, but this is not uncommon. Of course, it would be nice if she would tell you why you’ve been cut off, giving you the opportunity to explain or apologize. And there is nothing wrong with giving a blanket apology, not necessarily for wrongdoing, but for somehow damaging the relationship, even unintentionally. But too many people believe that spelling out the reason would be more damaging than silence, or they may subscribe to the mind-reading school, thinking you should “know” the reason. The fact that no other person will intercede on your behalf indicates there is little hope of reconciliation or of finding the explanation you desire. Accept it and move on. Dear Annie: Tell “Trying To Get Granny To Shower” that for around $200, Granny’s bathtub can be made safe and easy. A shower seat is just the beginning. Add a hose extension to the showerhead so she can direct the flow where she wants it and not have water get in her face. Then install a pole that extends from floor to ceiling just outside the tub so she can hold on as she gets in and out. I ordered mine through a well-known drugstore. -- Marsha, Age 76 Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them. That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
