Longtime Kimberley mayor passes away Jim Ogilivie served as alderman, mayor and Kimberley advocate since 1965

C AROLYN GRANT Daily Bulletin

The flag at Kimberley City Hall was lowered to half mast Monday as a giant in Kimberley politics passed away on Sunday evening, August 24, 2014.

Jim Ogilvie, former alderman, longtime Mayor and passionate advocate for Kimberley has passed away.

Kimberley Mayor Ron McRae says that all of Council and staff at city hall were saddened by the news.

“It is with deep regret that I report the passing of former mayor Jim Ogilvie last night (Sunday),” McRae said. “On behalf of myself and Council I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the Ogilvie family at this time of mourning. Jim genuinely loved the City of Kimberley. His vision of transforming Kimberley

from a resource-town preparing for a mine closure to a lifestyle-centred resort destination has kept Kimberley vital for future generations. A few weeks ago, it was our great privilege to honour Jim by renaming the major thoroughfare between Kimberley and Marysville as Jim Ogilvie Way. “He had such a rich history in our community. It will take a long time to fully appreciate everything he did for Kimberley.”

Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald called Ogilvie a legend.

“I extend my condolences to his family and friends,” Macdonald said.

“There are few people I can think of who have given more to public life and their community than Jim. Even years ago when I was Mayor of Golden, he was a legend, and he continued on for many more years.

JIM OGILVIE “He was well-respected throughout the province. He did a tremendous service to Kimberley.”

Kimberley volunteer Jim Webster

remembers Ogilvie as committed to helping all kinds of Kimberley events.

“He was always a big, but quiet supporter of the orienteering club and our events including the 2010 North American Orienteering Championships and Round the Mountain,” Webster said. “He would often just appear and offer to help out. I never knew how he was always able to know what was going on in the community but he just seem to.

He just heard about it and showed up and offered to help. I had a lot of positive feedback about that from out of town visitors. “Our mayor would never do that” was something I heard a number of times. He has also a key driver in making the Rails to Trails happen.”

On Monday in Cranbrook Law Courts, Justice Grant Sheard ruled a stay of three charges against Kyle Neidig resulting from a car accident causing the death of Ian Shepherd four years ago near Jaffray.

In his decision, Sheard cited three breaches of Neidig’s charter rights after police arrived at an early-morning accident scene on June 11, 2010. He also added that the Chevrolet Blazer involved in the accident had been destroyed, which the defence considered a key piece of evidence in determining exactly who was behind the wheel.

Sheard took particular issue with the destruction of the Blazer, which occurred five months before the start of the trial in 2013. He noted that the Crown has an obligation to preserve evidence, and while the Blazer wasn’t a key part of the Crown’s case, it could have contained key evidence for the defence.

Neidig had been charged with criminal negligence causing death, impaired driving causing death and cause an accident causing death.

Shepherd was thrown from the vehicle and died at the scene.

On the night of the accident, the two came into Cranbrook after playing baseball in Wardner. They made stops at the Mount Baker Hotel and later to Shotgun Willy’s before dropping two female friends in town and heading back out to Jaffray.

At roughly 2:45 a.m., a commercial truck driver came upon the accident scene on Highway 3/95, just west of the Fort Steele/Fernie interchange. Neidig had already exited the vehicle, but there was no sign of Shepherd in the immediate vicinity until he was discovered 30 minutes later.

Over this past weekend some of the finest purebred show dogs were on display at this year’s annual Cranbrook and District Kennel Club dog show.

The show was well attended despite rain clouds overhead for some of the days.

A walk through the Moir Park grounds where the event took place was akin to a lookthrough of an illustrated encyclopaedia of canine breeds, as over 50 distinct ones were at the show.

There were Afghan Hounds, German Shepherds and American Mastiffs. There were ter-

riers, herding dogs, toy dogs and work dogs.

The main events began on Friday, Aug. 22 with two limited entry all-breed championship shows, and continued into Saturday and Sunday.

Margie Leopold, the show’s chair, said the event was a success, despite the weather condi-

tions, which also had an effect on parking conditions. On Friday the rain poured down on the show, but Saturday and Sunday the sun was out between the clouds. The rain, however, caused problems for parking organization.

“Usually we park all the motorhomes and stuff on the grass on top,

but because of the weather it was so wet we couldn’t park them all up there,” she said. “We had to park them in the parking lot. That was a challenge in itself.”

There were between 155 to 165 dogs in the show, as it ranged from day to day how many were there.

“This year we had the baby puppy classes and the veteran classes on Saturday and Sunday which was quite a hit actually,” she said. “Everyone loved the Scent Hurdling — we had that on Saturday after Best in Show. It was quite fun to watch.”

The Scent Hurdling relay teams had to go over a series of jumps and hurdles, then pick up their specific scent ball and bring it back to their team.

This was the second ever competition in B.C. for Scent Hurdling.

There were businesses in town that donated items for the raffle and those funds go towards next year’s show.

“There will be another show, we weren’t sure until (Sunday) whether we were going to be able to do it or not,” she said.

“We’re very short of help; there are very few of us. We rely on donations to help our club.”

She said the cost of bringing in the judges is quite expensive.

They covered expenses to fly two judges from Mexico City, one from Victoria and one from Toronto.

Leopold said she heard back from some of the judges that the Cranbrook and District Kennel Club volunteers had done a great job.

Bus ridership down slightly in Cranbrook Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Ridership was down for the 2013/14 year on Cranbrook’s buses. BC Transit noted a three per cent decrease over last year’s ridership in an annual report presented through the city’s administration.

Mayor Wayne Stetski said the decrease was in ridership and revenue, but could be attributed to a continued decline of enrolment at the College of the Rockies, particularly in programs contributing to Upass and the Slaterville service, which was introduced in 2012/13.

The total system ridership was budgeted as $251,136 in the 2013/14 budget, but the actual was $217,784. That accounts for the three per cent decrease when

compared to last year’s actual amount of $224,496.

“Hopefully it will turn around,” Stetski said.

Angus Davis noted the decrease in transit ridership .

“It’s cost the city a bundle of money to have the transit system here,” he said. “The BC Transit people are very positive and very energetic. They come and they tell us all the wonderful things that are going to happen. But not very many people use the bus, and that’s the bottom line. Hopefully we can do something about this, or draw a line in the sand somewhere, because we spend a lot of money every year, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Stetski said there is good news on the transit front.

“In terms of innovation, BC Transit welcomed its first fleet of compressed natural gas fuelled heavy-duty buses with 25 entering service in the Regional District of Nanaimo in March of 2014. In the mid-sized bus segment, 15 medium duty buses underwent their first year of trials in six communities across the province. So those are kind of the ones we want.”

Stetski read on, saying that March 2014 marked the completion of the 5-year hydrogen fuel cell demonstration project in the Resort Municipality of Whistler. It was the world’s largest fleet of hydrogen buses in one location.

The fleet accumulated more than four million kilometers and avoided more than 5,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases. The Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) recently recognized the project for leadership in innovation and collaboration.

Daniel Pizarro, senior regional transit manager, wrote that recently the BC Transit Workshop held in Kelowna offered an opportunity for collaboration and consultation among partners. He said over 155 participants, including those from operating companies, local government staff and elected officials, engaged in discussion on initiatives aimed at making public transit more attractive, effective and ultimately more

sustainable.

“The liveliest session for local government partners this year was in relation to fare product development and distribution,” Pizarro wrote.

“It is recognized that funding for transit is becoming increasingly important for all partners

and maximizing the value received through the fare box can be significantly influenced through a well-designed fare structure. In addition to higher yields, a thoughtful structure that incorporates components such as a single cash fare, can lead to

fewer disputes and safety concerns.”

He wrote that developing a fare strategy based on best practices observed across North America is a key focus for BC Transit this year and will likely be a popular topic at next year’s workshop

Infected horses near Cache Creek serve as West Nile virus reminder Jeff Nagel Black Press

Positive tests for West Nile virus in two horses near Cache Creek serve as a fresh reminder that humans could also be infected by the mosquito-borne disease, health officials say.

“It’s not too surprising,” said deputy provincial health officer Bonnie Henry. “But it would be the first indication we have this year of any West Nile virus activity.”

She noted the two horses haven’t yet been confirmed as West Nile cases by the province.

They were reported Monday by the Society of B.C. Veterinarians, which cautioned owners of horses against

POLL WEEK of the

scrimping on their vaccinations.

There have been three bitten-in-B.C. West Nile infections among people over the years, in addition to the more than 40 other cases contracted out of province.

All the local infections happened in 2009 in the Southern Interior, Henry said, with most of the positive tests of mosquitoes and birds occurring in the South Okanagan.

Henry said horses act as “end hosts” like humans – they don’t act as a virus reservoir like corvid birds and increase the risk of transmission to people.

“This is another indicator that West Nile

virus can be out there,” she said. “This would be the highest risk time of year.”

Most people bitten by an infected mosquito have no symptoms but in about 20 per cent of cases, those infected develop a fever, headaches and rash. About one in 150 will experience severe complications such as meningitis and about one in 1,000 will die.

The best way to avoid West Nile virus is to prevent mosquito bites: wear light-coloured long-sleeved shirts and pants, especially in the early morning and evening; use repellants with DEET and lemon eucalyptus oil; and eliminate standing water in your yard.

“Do you agree with the government’s offer of $40 per child under 13 to assist with child care if the teachers’ strike continues?”

YES: 33% NO: 67%

Ogilvie’s career a lifetime of achievement Continued from page 1 Councillor Albert Hoglund served on Council for 20 years with Ogilvie.

“What can you say about him?”

Hoglund said. “He was a patriarch and great supporter of Kimberley. He was a unique person to Kimberley in my mind.

“It’s very sad. He did well for Kimberley, not just in politics, but for the community. He was involved in minor hockey with his kids for years.

If anyone can be called a total citizen, it was Jim Ogilvie.”

Ogilvie first served as Commissioner for the Village of Marysville in 1965 and then as Alderman during the 1968 amalgamation of the City of Kimberley with the villages of Chapman Camp and Marysville. Ogilvie was instrumental in the transition period of Marysville and Kimberley during the amalgamation. In 1972, he successfully ran for Mayor of Kimberley. With a break of only three

years, Jim Ogilvie served the City of Kimberley for a period of 36 years as Mayor.

A Lifetime of Achievement Jim Ogilvie leaves a tremendous legacy from his almost 50 years of service to Kimberley. He received numerous awards and honours, oversaw Kimberley’s transition into the Bavarian City of the Rockies, then from mining to tourism.

With Ogilvie as Mayor in 1986, the City took over the responsibility of the Kimberley Ski Resort and, as a further step in 1994, developed the Trickle Creek Golf Resort.

The City in turn sold the Ski Resort, Trickle Creek Golf Resort and development properties to Resorts of the Canadian Rockies and since that time, new development in the City has continued in abundance.

The City also developed Bootleg Gap Golf Course (a 27 hole course),

and the new Riverside Campground located adjacent to St. Mary River, also came during Ogilvie’s tenure. 2010 saw the completion of the Rails to Trails project, a paved walking, biking, scenic trail connecting Cranbrook and Kimberley as well as the opening of the Kimberley Conference & Athlete Training Centre,

news/features B.C. teachers return to picket lines C anadian Press

Teachers across B.C. were expected to be on picket lines beginning Monday in an attempt to increase pressure on the provincial government, but their union was saying little about its plans a week before school was scheduled to start.

Teachers have been on a full-scale strike since June, though the summer has been mostly devoid of formal negotiations and the two sides remain far apart.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker used a union conference in Kamloops over

the weekend to call on the government to enter into mediation immediately.

He said teachers would be out picketing in “full force’’ this week, but otherwise did not provide details. On Monday morning, the union did not respond to questions about what it had planned.

Earlier this month, veteran mediator Vince Ready agreed to monitor the dispute between the BC Public Schools Employers’ Association and the BC Teachers’ Federation, and to enter into full mediation if that would be productive.

The two sides had agreed not to speak publicly, but both Iker and Education Minister Peter Fassbender appear to have broken the agreement by speaking to media recently.

The school year is scheduled to start Sept. 2. B.C. School Trustees Association president Theresa Rezansoff said she’s hopeful that the teachers’ union and the employer will find common ground before then.

“There’s not a lot of time left,’’ Rezansoff said. “Schools will be able to open on Sept. 2 if a deal is reached.’’

The government has announced that if the teachers’ strike continues into the fall, it will give parents with children aged 13 and under $40 a day for each day of school missed to cover the costs of child care or tutoring.

The main issues in the dispute have been wages and teaching conditions, such as class size and class composition.

The government has said teachers’ wage increases must be affordable and in line with agreements signed by other public-sector employees.

Breaking Barriers

Accessible Design Part II: Ramps, elevators, lifts My name is Raux, and I have a disability. This is the 11th in a weekly series about living with a disability in a community like Cranbrook.

This is the tricky part, how to hide something so obvious?

You don’t, you own it; there is no shame in needing help to get from point A to B. There are ways to make these features work for you not against you...

Part II – Ramps, Elevators & Lifts Ramps: It can be difficult to disguise and the height you are ramping up to will determine how long the ramp will need to be. A low ramp can be made to look like a boardwalk or bridge and a longer ramp can wrap

around the side of a house to a side entry to keep the front or back yard uncluttered.

Elevators: Home elevators have many options to blend it into your home including different door styles, even using the same door slab as your other interior doors. You can even finish the floor to match or complement your other flooring.

Stair Lifts: There is no denying that a chair attached to a wall-mounted track is in fact a stair lift. If it doesn’t affect your warranty it may be possible to customize the seat itself to an accenting style with arms that can flip up to allow for easy transferring.

Ceiling Lifts: Fixed ceiling tracks are actually pretty discreet. You can have a track with a portable lift that can be moved from room to room; the track itself is narrow with a plain metal finish and doesn’t draw attention to it. If you really want to conceal it you could create a false beam with a channel in it to keep the track open.

Another type of ceiling lift is an Angel lift; it has two parallel fixed tracks and a beam track with the lift that travels between the two parallel tracks.

This allows you to move anywhere in the room within the frame of the fixed tracks. When not in use the movable beam

can be pushed against the wall so it’s not left over the middle of the room to draw attention.

Portable Lifts: There are a few options to choose from: sit to stand, pivot, Hoyer, etc. They are portable so all you have to consider is: do you have enough room, does the floor allow for easy maneuverability and a place to store it when not in use. …These are just some of my own ideas to suit my tastes and style. Hopefully this will inspire you to make these design challenges work for you, making your home a reflection of you and become your masterpiece.

Sincerely, Raux

Summer Reading Club story writing contest winners This year’s Cranbrook Public Library Summer Reading Club story writing contest winners are: Kayla McArthur (age 7), and Paris Howe (age 9).

Monkey And The Giraffe It was a sunny evening, and Freddy the chimp was swinging on the vines eating a banana when he suddenly bumped into a giraffe, which was, in fact, eating leaves.

His hand slipped from the vine and he fell face first into the ground, he got up and spit the first out of his mouth.

He said “Where did my banana go?” He walked over to the giraffe and said “Did you see where my banana went?” The giraffe turned around with Freddy’s banana in his mouth. Freddy’s face was shaking with anger.

“That is my banana!” he yelled.

He leaped at the giraffe and tugged at the banana until it was all squished. They stared at each other until their eyes were all red and dry. Freddy leaped at the giraffe again, pounding on him. Then he got off brushing his coat off and said “Now we’re even.”

The giraffe started walking away but Freddy called and said “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name.”

The giraffe turned around and said “My name is Geronimo.”

The chimp replied “Well, this is not over you know,” and made a fist at Geronimo.

Freddy wandered into the jungle that night. He was swinging on the vines when he saw Geronimo again, so he decided to

do a sneak attack on the giraffe. He crawled up a tree quietly until he was above Geronimo, then he released the branch and yelled “INCOMING!” Geronimo looked around but then something came crashing down on his head. Geronimo looked up to see what it was. When Geronimo looked up Freddy said “BOO,” Geronimo screamed and bucked Freddy off.

Freddy fell on the ground and pretended to be dead. “Oh no what have I done?”

Geronimo said. He walked over to Freddy and Freddy again yelled “BOO.” Geronimo screamed again — Freddy was laughing so hard he fell on the ground.

“Gotcha hahaha — you scream like a girl” Freddy said. “Do not!” Geronimo said.

“Do so!”

“DO NOT!” “Do so!” said Freddy, blowing a raspberry “phght…”

“DO NOT!” Geronimo screamed.

“Whoa! temper tantrum!” said Freddy.

Geronimo stomped away angrily.

Freddy heard Nikki the snake talking about a contest they were going to have, about who makes the best team together.

Freddy wondered if he should join the contest with Geronimo. Once he found Geronimo, Freddy asked him if he wanted to team up for the contest and Geronimo said yes.

They walked to the contest grounds, where there were many animals. Freddy and Geronimo got set up on the race lines, and the announcements were made. “ON

YOUR FIRST RACE YOU WILL BE DOING THREE LEGGED RACE — ON YOUR MARK GET READY AND GO”.

But Freddy and Geronimo were having a hard time. “no! … go right!” “No! … go left!” they argued.

They ended up losing the whole contest but they didn’t care. They became best friends!

And that was the tale of Monkey and the Giraffe.

Written by Paris Howe, age 9 Once Upon A Library Once upon a library there was a chicken named Beaklet. He loved reading books.

One day Beaklet was reading a book from the library that he never had read before! It was all about funny business. So he invited his friend Milo the monkey over. As they read the book Beaklet thought about a practical joke they could play on all their friends. They spent the rest of the afternoon coming up with a plan.

The next day Beaklet and Milo were setting up their ice cream stand. Then their first custumer arrived — Hops the bunny.

Hops chose vanilla when he tasted it he said “Blah this is oil not ice cream.” Then they all burst into laughs! Then Hops went home.

Then Rufus the dog came he had strawberry and chocolate. Then he took a bite of both strawberry and chocolate. Then he said “Blah this is liver and salmon.”

Then they all burst into laughs.

Ogilvie’s dedication to Kimberley C AROLYN GR ANT

What a sad way to start the week. I arrived at the office Monday morning to hear that Jim Ogilvie, longtime Mayor of Kimberley, had passed away.

I first met Mayor Jim in 2000, when he returned to Council after being off for some months with an illness. In the years after that, I watched him at every Council meeting, twice a month until 2011, except for three years from 2002 to 2005.

There were many things that struck me about the way he ran a Council meeting, but the one that stands out is — he was prepared. If you wanted to do battle with Jim Ogilvie on anything, you’d better bring your facts with you. Because he had the facts with him. One mistake in your argument, one slight misstep and he’d pounce.

He knew the role of Mayor and Council.

He knew exactly what the rules said he could do and not do. I once saw him recuse himself from the Mayor’s chair, appoint a Councillor as Deputy Mayor and argue a point from the Councillor’s chair. He argued, I might add, with a folder full of reports to back himself up.

I also saw him argue passionately with another Councillor, but then be all smiles with the same person after the meeting.

Politics was politics, friendship was friendship.

And because of that, he was respected

by Council. Even those who bumped heads with him would privately admit it was hard to stay mad at him. Councillor Bob McWhinnie (another sad loss for Kimberley) once told me, ‘he was like a Grandpa, you can’t stay mad at him’.

One of the things that amazed Bob was the way Ogilvie could make things happen in Victoria.

He was connected. The longer he served as Mayor the more people he knew, and he would use every one of those connections to get what he wanted for Kimberley.

He was a pit bull when there was a possibility for obtaining grant money for some project for Kimberley. If the money was not forthcoming through normal channels, Mayor Jim would hop on a plane and go to Victoria to visit his connections and twist a few arms. More often than not, he’d return with a promise that the grant money was coming.

Mayor Jim Ogilvie guided the City of Kimberley through a transition that would have killed other small towns. Yes, world financial markets assisted with the real es-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

tate boom that accompanied the sale of the City’s ski hill, but Ogilvie and his Council of the day began preparing for the closure of the Sullivan Mine long before it happened in 2001. He took the long view, imagining what would need to happen for Kimberley to survive the mine’s closure.

He imagined it, then willed it to happen.

To myself, he was approachable, honest, mostly forthcoming, strategic, friendly, and the source of a wealth of information on Kimberley history. He never ducked a phone call or a question. When he won an election, he was always complimentary to his opponents, when he lost, gracious in defeat, though bitterly disappointed.

His last public appearance was at the ceremony to rename the road connecting Marysville and Kimberley Jim Ogilvie Way just two weeks ago. Friends say it was his last good day, and that it was a very good thing that the ceremony took place.

It was a very good thing for Kimberley that Jim Ogilvie decided to get involved in municipal politics.

So long, Mayor Jim. Kimberley will never forget you.

All accounted for Ice vets return ahead of training camp Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice training camp doesn’t begin until Wednesday, but returning players were on the ice Monday morning getting a head start at Western Financial Place.

As expected, the only absences came in the form of forwards Tim Bozon and Sam Reinhart, and goaltender Mackenzie Skapski. All other returning players were present and accounted for.

While it might seem like a non-story, there has been no shortage of veteran no-shows at other WHL camps across the country thus

Dynamiters trade veteran defenceman Miller shipped to Beaver Valley for future considerations

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters have traded defenceman Andrew Miller to the Beaver Valley Nitehawks in exchange for future considerations.

Dynamiters GM Dave Smith confirmed the deal Sunday afternoon. “[Andrew] indicated

he would like to play his overage season closer to home,” Smith said Monday afternoon.

“He’s a Trail boy and he indicated that Beaver Valley would be his destination of choice.”

Smith obliged the request and was able to strike a deal with Nitehawks head coach/GM Terry Jones.

Miller served as an alternate captain for the Nitros during the 201314 season, posting career-best totals of four goals and 16 points in 51 games. The veteran blueliner has dressed in 106 KIJHL games since 2010, including 78 con-

tests with the Dynamiters.

“It’s always tough to find good 20-year-olds,” Smith said. “He would have been a key guy.”

Smith expects forward Matt Lucero, acquired from the Revelstoke Grizzlies Aug. 18, to help fill the leadership void left behind by Miller. The Nitros GM also hasn’t ruled out bringing in another veteran skater should a good fit present itself.

“I’m really expecting big things from [Lucero],” Smith said. “We’ll probably find another 20-year-old out there.

We like to be a young

team and move kids on, but you need that veteran leadership so we’ll keep our eyes open for another 20-year-old, for sure.”

Miller played one game with the Nitehawks during the 201011 season before moving on to the Nelson Leafs and eventually the Osoyoos Coyotes.

The Dynamiters originally acquired Miller’s rights from the Coyotes Nov. 17, 2012 in exchange for future considerations.

Nitros camp opens Friday, Aug. 29 at 6 p.m. at the Kimberley Civic Centre.

Senators extend Anderson Goaltender inks three-year, $12.6-million deal Lisa Wall ace Canadian Press

OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators believe they’ll have one of the best goaltending tandems in the NHL rather than a goaltending controversy.

The Senators signed

Craig Anderson to a three-year contract extension Monday worth US$12.6 million.

The 33-year-old has one year remaining on the four-year deal he signed with Ottawa prior to the 2011-12 season.

He’ll make $4.75 million in 2015-16 and

2016-17 and then drop to $3.1 million in 201718.

He was relieved to have the contract completed before the start of the season.

“Taking the contract part out of the equation allows me to focus completely, 100 per cent, on

my job of stopping the puck and there’s no distraction whatsoever from that part of the game,’’ Anderson said.

“That’s exciting for me and a good feeling that I’m going to be part of the Senators organization for the next few years.’’

far in August. Former Kamloops Daily News sports editor Gregg Drinnan has kept close tabs on situations around the league.

In Prince George, goaltender Brett Zarowny opted for school over continuing with the Cougars. In Lethbridge, defenceman Macoy Erkamps failed to report to Hurricanes camp and demanded a trade. The Spokane Chiefs opened training camp without returners Reid Gow and Jeremy McIntosh. The list goes on.

There were no such problems in Cranbrook.

The veteran players will undergo fitness testing this morning starting

at 9 a.m. and the rookies will run through the processes starting at 1 p.m.

Camp officially opens tomorrow with veterans practice at 9 a.m.

Joining the Ice veterans Monday morning were alumni Adam Cracknell, Brock Montgomery and Nathan Lieuwen.

In addition, the club announced details for its 16th annual intrasquad game, scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 31 at Western Financial Place. Proceeds from the contest will go directly to the Cranbrook and Kimberley United Way. Admission is granted with a minimum donation of $5 per person.

Royal opportunity Former Ice forward Cracknell headed for Hollywood Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Former Kootenay Ice forward Adam Cracknell was on the ice Monday morning, joining returning players as they ran through drills for the first time ahead of training camp.

The 29-year-old native of Prince Albert, Sask. spent four seasons in Cranbrook (2002-03 to 2005-06), tallying 94 goals and 213 points in 283 games with the Ice before graduating to the professional ranks and the Calgary Flames organization.

Cracknell’s wife is from Cranbrook and so Ice camp has been a great warm-up for the forward prior to jetting off to NHL camp.

“Jeff [Chynoweth] is always welcoming. The coaching staff has always let me come out

here and skate,” Cracknell said Monday morning in the halls of Western Financial Place. “I think this is probably my 13th [Kootenay Ice] camp now. It’s always nice to come back. This is where it all started.”

Cracknell is now a veteran of eight years at the professional level with 532 games of pro experience, including 375 at the AHL level and 65 games with the NHL’s St. Louis Blues.

After four years in the Blues organization, the forward is moving on to his third NHL club since being drafted by Darryl Sutter and the Calgary Flames in the ninth round of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. The feisty forward signed a oneyear contract with the defending Stanley Cup champions, Sutter’s Los Angeles Kings, on July 1.

“It’s not going to be hard to get in the mix with that team,” Cracknell said. “It’s a big, heavy team that plays solid both ways. The adjustment period will just be going to a city like that where you’re going to get every team’s ‘A’ game every night being the defending [Stanley] Cup champs.

“Whatever role they want me to play, I will happily try to bring it.”

Drafted 279th overall by the Flames in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Cracknell signed with the St. Louis Blues as an unrestricted free agent during the summer of 2009.

The 6-foot-2 energy forward has posted six goals and 16 points in 65 career NHL games.

Los Angeles Kings training camp opens Thursday, Sept. 18.

With both Lehner and Anderson both under contract the big question will be: who is No. 1?

The 23-year-old Lehner was considered Ottawa’s goaltender of the future, though Anderson’s new deal raises the question of when that future will come.

Anderson anticipates Lehner will push him for playing time

and said that’s a benefit for any goalie.

Anderson, who put up an NHL-best .941 save percentage in the lockout-shortened 2013 season to help Ottawa make the playoffs amid injuries to Erik Karlsson and Jason Spezza, dropped to .911 last year.

He went 25-16-8 with a 3.00 goals-against-average and had four shutouts in 53 games.

The Sens’ starting goaltender struggled at times, but the defence in front of him also had its share of problems.

“We went through a lot of ups and downs last year and a lot of adversity,’’ said Anderson.

“We had a lot of young guys that have really grown through those experiences and I expect them to be that much better this year for it.’’

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married to a wonderful man for 30 years. We have a large, supportive, loving family on both sides. I love my mother-in-law dearly. We have always had a wonderful, close relationship.

Here’s the problem. In Mom’s will, it states that if she passes away before my husband, he receives the inheritance. If my husband passes away before his mother, our children receive the inheritance. While this is fine, it hurts me that I am not mentioned at all. My husband has talked to his mother about this oversight, and she said this is the way she wants her will set up.

I have been a good wife, mother and daughter and don’t understand why she would ignore me this way. I don’t expect to inherit money, but a special token would be nice -- perhaps a piece of jewelry that she wore or a cherished keepsake. The point is knowing that she thought of me.

Are most wills set up this way? I feel like I’m not really a part of her family. -- Very Blessed, But Hurt Dear Blessed: Most wills are set up to provide for children and grandchildren. Spouses of the children are sometimes included, but not always. There is often a worry that the child will someday divorce the spouse, and the family heirlooms would end up with someone who is no longer related. It’s also possible that by limiting the beneficiaries to immediate blood relatives, Mom is preventing rivalries between spouses. Please try not to think of this as evidence that your motherin-law doesn’t care for you. We don’t believe that is the case.

Dear Annie: Fifteen years ago, I helped my oldest daughter and son-in-law with a down payment on a house. So far, I haven’t seen so much as a dollar in repayment from them.

My husband passed away six years ago, so I sure could use the money. Why are adult children so self-centered? I’m at a loss as to what I can do. Whatever I have left I’m leaving to the SPCA. -- Hurt Mother Dear Mother: Did your daughter consider this a loan or a gift? She may not realize it was intended to be repaid. Have you asked her? Please tell your daughter you were happy to help her when you had the opportunity, but now that you need money, you would appreciate it if she would make an effort to repay the loan. Then set up a payment schedule that she can handle.

Dear Annie: I want to add a cautionary tale to the recommendation you gave “Wedding Jitters” about a prenuptial agreement.

When my mother passed away, my father remarried in Florida. He and his second wife went to a local lawyer and had a prenuptial agreement drawn up to protect his extensive assets for his children and grandchildren should he predecease his second wife.

When Dad died, the agreement allowed his second wife to remain in the house and live off of their joint assets.

When my stepmother died, however, we discovered that she had moved everything into her name before my father’s death and consequently willed it to her family. My sister and I retained a lawyer in New York who aggressively pursued this through the prenuptial agreement and my father’s will. But apparently, his prenup is not considered a binding contract in Florida and is essentially meaningless. We inherited nothing from my parents’ life of scrimping and saving.

Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.

2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting.

You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.

3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back.

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.

Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.

When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Call today and start advertising.

Tim Hortons, Burger King shares surge with merger talk C anadian Press

OAKVILLE, Ont. — Shares in Burger King and Tim Hortons have jumped dramatically in pre-market trading in New York on news the two companies are talking about joining forces.

It’s not know what such a deal would be worth, but both stocks surged with U.S.-based

Burger King up 16.2 per cent to US$27.11. Shares in Tim Hortons jumped 16.96 per cent to US$62.84.

If Burger King joins forces with Tim Hortons, the new publicly traded company would be based in Canada and would have tax advantages for the U.S.-based burger chain.

Burger King would be able to shave its American tax bill in what’s called a tax inversion, something that has become increasingly popular among U.S. companies trying to cut costs.

In an inversion, a U.S. company reorganizes in a country with a lower tax rate by acquir-

ing or merging with a company there. Inversions allow companies to transfer money earned overseas to the parent company without paying additional U.S. taxes. That money can be used to reinvest in the business or to fund dividends and buybacks, among other things.

Both companies have confirmed they are talking and have said Oakville, Ont.-based Tim Hortons and Miami-based Burger King would operate as standalone brands, if the deal goes ahead.

The statement adds that the new corporation would be the world’s third-largest

quick service restaurant company, with approximately $22 billion in system sales and over 18,000 restaurants in 100 countries worldwide.

Tim Hortons dominates the Canadian coffee market, but it has struggled to find success in the U.S. It has also faced

LONDON, Ont. — A man missing for almost 40 years and declared dead by the courts has been confirmed alive by Ontario Provincial Police.

Police say Ronald Stan, who was reported missing after a 1977 fire in a rural area near London, Ont., has been found alive and residing under an “assumed identity” in the United States.

Officers with the Middlesex County detachment and the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office conducted an investigation after an early-morning barn fire on Sept. 29, 1977, in the former Township of East Williams.

In 1986, almost nine years after his disappearance, the missing man was declared deceased by the courts.

The investigation was reopened in July during a routine audit of the case and police say it was discovered the man, who was 32 at the time of his disappearance, was alive and living in the U.S. as Jeff Walton, 69.

Const.

Laurie Houghton says the affected families and American authorities have been notified of the results of the investigation, adding the case is now closed and no charges are being laid.

“At this time there’s no basis for charges under the Criminal Code of Canada so we won’t be laying any charges in this matter,” she said.

Houghton had no further details about how the man ended up in the U.S. under a different name.

“I can’t speak to his motives,” she said.
