Residents opposed to zoning, not planned usage A R N E P E T RYS H E N

A plan by the Ktunaxa Nation to set up a 20 bed residential facility in a residence on 13th Ave S prompted a petition to be sent to council by neighbourhood

residents. The story documenting the discussion among mayor and council ran in Wednesday’s Townsman. Erin Stevenson, one of the neighbours of the prop-

erty who signed the petition, wanted to clarify on Wednesday that the opposition was to do with the zoning parameters rather than the planned use of the building.

She worried that the petitioners had come across as against the facility itself, but they are concerned that the Public Institutional Zoning does not allow for the type of institution that the Ktu-

naxa Nation’s plan calls for. Dale LeClair, Chief Administrative Officer for the Ktunaxa Nation, said he recently met with Mayor Wayne Stetski regarding the petition.

SUBMITTED BY JERELYNN MACNEILL

The local Knights of Columbus Council #8631 (Christ the Servant Church) put on a free hot dog and popsicle lunch for all the students of St. Mary’s Catholic School on Tuesday, September 16. Students enjoyed the wonderful weather as they ate outside. This was the second last event for the Knights Council as they are disbanding their council after 25 years of service to the community.

Leclair said Scotty’s House fits well within the zoning bylaws for that property. “We’ve taken a very thorough look at the bylaws and feel very comfortable,” he said, adding they would not want to go beyond the legal regulations for the property. LeClair also met with city staff a couple of weeks ago to make sure the proposed uses fit the zoning requirements. He said in regards to the petition, “the Nation is very cognizant of the needs of the surrounding neighbourhood and would not in any way want them to feel we are putting them in any kind of danger or any kind of situation where they may or may not believe they have any kind of undesirable people in the area.” LeClair said there may be some connections mistakenly being drawn between the Nation’s successful Street Angel program. “I think they are making the connection between Street Angels and taking individuals who are on the fringe of society and very troubled who we care for, both Nation and non-Nation, and somehow connected to Scotty’s Home.”

Barriers coming down, Stetski tells business community TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Cranbrook is moving in the right direction. That was the message from Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski as he ad-

dressed the business community at a monthly Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday at the Heritage Inn. Stetski touched on a

CLUBHOUSE SPECIAL: SMOKED CLUB SANDWICH

number of subjects of interest to the business community, including accomplishments in arts and culture, community health and the economy.

“Cranbrook is a good place to do business and the city is working to make it an even better place to do business,” Stetski said. He recalled a story he

heard when running for mayor three years ago on how he kept hearing feedback that the city isn’t friendly for business. Digging deeper into that perception,

he said he never found anyone who could articulate exactly why it was that people would believe that.

Annual Six in the Stix bicycle race this weekend For the Townsman/ Bulletin

Over 100 kids and youth are expected to be part of the action at the 5th annual Subaru of Cranbrook Six In The Stix Mountain Biking Festival this weekend. Young riders from Cranbrook, Kimberley,

Fernie, Creston, Invermere and many other B.C. and Alberta towns will participate in one of three races as a way of celebrating participation, health, fitness and the simple joy of riding a bicycle. Riders three to 14 years old can choose

one of the following challenges: riding up to 15 minutes around and over obstacles on a paved loop, and riding either up to 30 minutes or 60 minutes on the trails of a 1.4 km forested loop above the College of the Rockies upper parking lot and in

the Cranbrook Community Forest. For the 15-minute Stix, geared for athletes three to six years old, riders may show off their favorite stride/kick bike, 4-wheel bike or the standard 2-wheel bike with cranks and pedals. As for the 30 minute and 60 minute trail options, race organizer Charlie Cooper provides this description: “The trails just above the College are mostly double-track and very smooth, but there’s also a fun section of single-track called Roller Coaster that will have riders twist and turn their way downhill as fast as they want back to the finish. It’s a loop with just a little bit of climbing and lots of room for riders to pass each other.” Riders of all abilities are invited to attend this exciting event, and organizers have kept the entry fee at only $10. Each rider will enjoy a well-organized race, receive a goodie bag provided by Sidekick Stickers, be eligible for draw prizes donated by Gerick Sports, and be able to restore their energy levels at the Stix Shack after crossing the finish line. Registration is available online until Friday night, Sept. 19 at www. rmevents.com.

Stetski gives update to business community Continued from page 1 After working with the Chamber of Commerce members, the city came up with a report that included 13 recommendations on removing barriers to business. “I went to the chamber and I said, ‘We need your help to tell us things that we need to be fixing to make this a better place to do business,’” Stetski said. “So that was the beginning of the Barriers to Business report and now we’re working on implementing it.” Recommendations include reviewing and updating the economic development strategy, reviewing mobile business licenses, creating checklists for developers and reviewing development cost charges and how they are applied. Attracting families is just as important as attracting businesses that will grow Cranbrook, Stetski continued. “It starts right with the kind of arts and culture that we’re building in Cranbrook,” Stetski

said. “It starts with the kinds of performers that are coming to Cranbrook and the talent we have locally that contributes to our economy and contributes to our quality of life.” Stetski’s report also touched on construction, as numbers are up across the board from residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and signs. Year-to-date construction costs total $27.9 million—a large chunk due to the $20 million hospital ICU expansion—and 114 permits have been issued. Real estate is also up, with a year-to-date total of 177 single family homes sold with an av-

erage sale price of $286,685 as compared to the 132 sold in 2013. The market for homes priced between $200,000 - $300,000 as well as $400,000 $500,000 has significantly improved, while sales for the luxury housing market is still flat. From the Canadian Rockies International Airport, year-to-date scheduled passenger traffic is up 10 per cent over last year. Stetski noted that in terms of growth percentage, the CRIA is outperforming comparable airports in B.C. such as Kamloops and Kelowna. He also added that the only way to get other carriers such as WestJet into the region is for people to keep using the airport to grow the passenger count. “All the numbers are moving in the right direction in terms of airport usage, in terms of construction, in terms of real estate. We’re doing really quite well, we certainly can do better,” said Stetski.

Correction

Sikora fined for Kimberley trap incident, not Cranbrook In Tuesday’s Daily Townsman, it was reported that Lucky Sikora, who was charged with mischief to property over $5,000 after an incident with deer traps, pleaded guilty and was fined $800 and must pay a victim surcharge of $240 and restitution of $1,000. The story stated that the incident in question was in relation to deer

traps tampered with in Cranbrook. In fact, Sikora was charged with willful damage to traps set up in Kimberley, not for the Cranbrook incident. There have been no charges laid with respect to the 10 traps that were stolen and subsequently burned in Cranbrook. The Townsman apologizes for the misinformation.

United Way ‘Park on Us’ event Friday Tre vor Cr awley

The Park on Us United Way fundraising campaign is fast approaching, and organizers have already raised the bar from last year as they draw closer to their annual goal. Set for Friday, Sept. 19, the Park on Us campaign has already sold 527 meters as they march toward their annual year-end goal of $126,000. In addition to the Park on Us fundraiser, over 122 items with a retail value of $6,200 have been donated for a silent auction. Big ticket silent auction items include a granite lazy susan and a tablet computer, while also featuring gift certificates to all kinds of Cranbrook businesses.

United Way Cranbrook and Kimberley feels that their goal is achievable, according to executive director Donna Brady Fields. “We’ve achieved $130,000 over the last two years, and the board set out what they felt was achievable with the economy the way it is, but we are hoping to surpass $126,000 and indications are, so far, that we’re just getting great support from the community, said Brady-Fields. “Now, in the fall, we are moving into our workplace campaign, where employees make donation pledges and individual pledges start coming in.” October is United Way Month, and the banner will go up over Baker St. on Oct. 5. The organiza-

tion will also be putting on many presentations within the community to educate the public on the goals and the achievements of the United Way in Cranbrook and Kimberley. The United Way is also partnering with Bellies for Babies to provide tree-ripened Ambrosia apples. Customers can choose whether funds go directly to Bellies for Babies or towards general United Way fundraising when orders are placed. Orders can be placed for 20pound boxes at $25 or 10-pound boxes at $13. Individual apples will also be sold at the United Way office on Baker St. Orders must be placed between Sept. 11-25.

ALR exclusion sought for former landfill Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

Council voted in support of an application by the city for an Agricultural Land Reserve exclusion of the former landfill property site on Highway 95A. City staff wrote in the report to council at Monday’s meeting that the property is zoned “A, Agricultural Zone” and designated “Agricultural/Tourism Recreation” in the city’s official community plan. It is approximately 58 hectares (140 acres) in size, 18 hectares (44 acres) of which was taken up by the former landfill. Coun. Angus Davis asked what the purpose of the exclusion was. “Does it take into consideration that it’s like a big stomach that’s been buried down there

— that big garbage dump,” Davis said. “All sorts of gases that are being formed and formulated.” Davis warned that future developments could be could be digging into flammable gas pockets. CAO Wayne Staudt said if the property is used for a development in the future, that would fall under a zoning issue. He added the actual landfill site is only a small portion of the entire property. Staudt also noted the area has been closed up environmentally by the regional district. “They have test wells out there and so forth, and it’s all got a beautiful new chain-link fence around it,” he said. “That is not what is likely to be

start servicing some of the new properties that will become available and make them more saleable. Staudt said the line that could service the area goes right up to the end of Echo Field Road. “It goes through [Wildstone] and then the waterline continues on there to Shadow Mountain and that area, but the sewer down not extend all the way down to Shadow Mountain,” he said. “So if we were likely to access water and sewer across the highway to

this site, it may very well come from the water and sewer line there.” Staudt said it would be a budget item at that point for council to decide. The property, located at 4000 Highway 95A, has an Agricultural Capability of 80 per cent Class 4 with limited subclasses of low fertility and topography, the other 20 per cent is Class 6 with limitation subclass of topography. The city noted that Class 4 soils have limitations that require special management practices or severely restricted range of crops. Class 6 is non arable but is capable of producing native and/or uncultivated perennial forage crops. The lands have been contemplated for redevelopment by the city in the 2013 Annual Report under the Economic Development 2014 Major Initiatives. The city also noted the newly developed Northern Area Plan of the Official Community Plan supports the transition of the property to light industrial. The complete application package will be forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission for decision.

Ktunaxa clarify goal for Scotty’s House Continued from page 1

Scotty’s House would be a Community Cluster Home Share primarily designed and operated as a residential option for adult youth over 19 leaving foster care and elder housing for single elders 55 and over that are able to live without care support. “It really is an opportunity from a cultural perspective to bring these two groups together and develop relationships,” he said. They said the goal of the home is to provide a safe environment where people can share common space, knowledge and resources. LeClair said they would be holding an open house around the second week of October. For instance, one of the future clients already lives a few houses down the block. He is aging out of the foster care system. “So we have a place for him to go to continue his developmental growth,” he said. They are also planning to set up a neighbourhood committee for those interested in participating in addressing those issues. He said rumours that Scotty’s House will be a halfway house and transition home for offenders are far from the truth. “It’s unfortunate that it came to a petition. I think it’s based on a bit of a misunderstanding and we will endeavour to work harder in informing the community, because it’s about positive partnership and community investment,” he said.

This Saturday in Cranbrook, the People’s Climate March hits the streets to demand action against climate change from elected leaders. The march is part of the global weekend of action ahead of the UN Climate Summit in New York City. Cranbrook will be joining hundreds of thousands of people in New York City and at more than 1500 other rallies in 130 countries. “This will be the biggest worldwide climate march yet” said Lars Sander-Green, Wildsight’s Climate Program Manager. “It will send a strong message to our elected leaders that real action on climate change just can’t wait any longer.” Wildsight is leading the Cranbrook march and joining with more than 1,000 other groups around the world coming together for the worldwide event. More than 75,000 people have already committed to joining events around the world and many times that number are expected by organizers.

“Climate impacts are already beginning to be felt by frontline communities around the world, who are often some of the most world’s most vulnerable people,” Sander-Green said. “So we need coordinated international action now to drastically reduce carbon emissions. “That’s the message marchers will be sending to Stephen Harper, our MP David Wilks, and all the world leaders who will be attending the UN Climate Summit.” The climate march starts at noon on Saturday, Sept. 20, at Rotary Park in Cranbrook (on 11th Avenue South at 1st Street), with marchers gathering to make signs at 11:30 am. From Rotary Park, the march will pass through downtown and end up at MP David Wilks’ office to send a message demanding action on climate change. More information is available by calling Wildsight at 250-427 2535, Extension 2. Everyone is welcome to join the People’s Cli-

mate March, which will last about one hour. “The transition to a world economy that works for people and the planet is not far out of reach, but we need a

global push now before runaway climate change takes root,” said Sander-Green. “That’s why we’ll be marching in Cranbrook on Saturday.”

NOTICE 6th Street North Reconstruction Reconstruction of 6th Street North in Cranbrook, between Kootenay Street and Victoria Avenue is set to begin on Monday July 28 and continue through until early October. 6th Street North will have no public access for through traffic for the duration of the construction along with a portion of Rotary Way from 4th Street North to 8th Street North. Residents, drivers, pedestrians and cyclists are asked to please find an alternate route around the construction. Crews will do their best to accommodate local traffic wherever possible. Please follow and obey the signage, barricades and any traffic control personnel for the duration of the construction work. The City of Cranbrook apologizes for any inconvenience this work may cause and appreciates the cooperation and patience of the residents of 6th Street North and users of Rotary Way as this project moves forward.

the government is also looking at studying E-cigarettes—electronic cigarettes—which are currently unregulated in Canada. Closer to home in the Kootenay-Columbia riding, Wilks said he is working with various cabinet ministers to expand the Trans-Canada highway through national parks. “The number one priority, of course, is the twinning of the Trans-Canada highway from the Alberta border through the national parks, which is the sole responsibility of the federal government, so

I’m continuing to lobby the ministers responsible for that,” Wilks said. “That’s a huge priority in my area.” On the controversial subject of temporary foreign workers, Wilks said he will be talking with various ministers to see how the issue will affect the economy in the riding. “Although the program is sent and I understand where we’re going with it,” Wilks said, “it is somewhat pragmatic in some parts of the riding, especially in the ski industry and the golf industry areas, so the Columbia Valley, Fernie, etc, so looking forward to working on that file as well.”

Where are the municipal candidates? I’m going to say this once and then let the sad matter of the teacher strike/lockout settle into the dustbin of history. You had all summer. You had a mediator — who obviously knows what he is doing — at the ready, or Ready, if you’ll pardon the pun, and you couldn’t even agree to meet. When you finally, finally meet face to face, in four days you have a deal. Four long, tense days, but nonetheless. Four. Days. So we have to ask ourselves, what finally motivated an end to this protracted labour dispute and gave us a resolution? And I have to say PR. With both sides looking worse and worse in the public eye, with parents calling for an end to the strike and losing patience with both sides, the motivation to finally settle this mess suddenly appeared. Hey, they don’t like us. They really don’t like us! Maybe we should talk. Maybe we can find some sort of common ground and get this settled. And lo and behold, it was so. Maybe someone should have thought of it in June. In any event, six years of labour peace in the school system is almost at hand. In the electoral system, there is never any real peace, because the next election is always just around the corner. Our next election is municipal and I

have to ask — where are the candidates? The writ has been dropped so to speak, the call for candidates has gone out. So where are they? In Kimberley, we have one (!) candidate for Council — Darryl Oakley, who has declared and one candidate for Mayor (Coun. Don McCormick). Rumour is rampant about who will run and who won’t, but no one else has stepped forward. Carolyn In Cranbrook, incumGrant bent Mayor Wayne Stetski has declared. And two persons have declared for Council — Jim Elliott and Wes Graham. I have watched a lot of municipal elections over the years and usually by this time, you have a pretty full slate of candidates. If you haven’t declared by the end of August, you are usually making an announcement in early September. So where is everyone? Is it possible that the addition of an extra year to the municipal cycle is making it just too onerous a commitment? Let’s hope a whole pile of candidates are just waiting for the timing to be right. Federally, Employment Minister Jason Kenney says that his government’s changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program is a success as applicants for work permits are down 74 per cent. So more jobs for Canadians. The only problem is, in tourism-dependent communities, such as

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Kimberley or Whistler or Invermere or Jasper, temporary foreign workers fill in a lot of jobs in the ski industry. Matt Mosteller, of Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, which operates several ski resorts including the Kimberley Alpine Resort, told the Calgary Herald that finding specialized ski instructors and food and beverage staff is a constant challenge for the company. Under the new rules, if a company wants to hire a temporary foreign worker — say as a ski instructor — they must pay a $1,000 processing fee per visa application. Ouch. There are approximately 500 to 600 temporary foreign workers hired by the ski industry in Western Canada every winter, according to David Lynn of the Canada West Ski Areas Association. Ouch times 500. That’s a big blow to an industry where the profit line can be us unpredictable as the next snow fall. It may be outcomes like this that give us reason to be grateful the wheels of government usually work at glacial speed. Yes, we all decry how long it takes to affect change, but look what happened here. The issue was fast-tracked, a quick solution was found, a Minister cries, Success! And a whole lot of communities find themselves falling through a hole that wasn’t foreseen. Too bad for us, I guess. Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

Kootenay author Keith G. Powell will officially release his new book, “Fisher Peak Chronicles,” at Lotus Books in Cranbrook on Friday September 19, at 7 p.m. “I am excited to release my third book and to be able to work closely with Lotus Books to host this event,” Powell said. The event will feature a reading from the new book, interviews and a slideshow. Powell will also do a book signing event at Coles Books at Tamarack Centre in Cranbrook on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. to which the public is invited. “Fisher Peak Chronicles” features stories from or about noted local adventurers — including Denny Kerr, the late Uli Korb, Dan Mills, Chris Lague, photographer Janice Strong, Patrick Morrow, Scott Niedermayer and many more. “It is my hope that the new book, Fisher Peak Chronicles, captures the essence and legacy of Mount Fisher,” Powell said. “ The book is full of adventure stories — some humourous, some tragic,. “In addition to the stories, it features over three dozen historic photos and eight pages of full colour images of Mt. Fisher. Standing at 9,336 feet, Mount Fisher towers headand-shoulders above its neigh-

Author Keith G. Powell at the summit of Mt Fisher with his first book, Living in the Shadow of Fisher Peak bouring peaks in the southern reaches of the Canadian Rockies. In the evening it glistens golden as the sun sets, and in the early morning it casts a long shadow across the Koote-

nay Valley. As one of the most photographed landmarks in the Kootenay region, Mount Fisher holds the fascination of locals and visitors with its majestic

vista and relatively easy access. It is our own little Mt. Everest, and scaling it has become a rite-of-passage for many outdoor enthusiasts from near and far. Fisher Peak Chronicles endeavors to capture the heritage, culture and legacy of Mount Fisher through a series of real adventure stories from contributors and historical sources. Mount Fisher attracts hundreds, if not thousands, of climbers every year. This book gives readers a glimpse into their passion and adventures. “I would really like to thank everyone who so generously contributed stories or photos to this book — especially Scott Niedermayer for allowing me to use his photo on the cover. I am also pleased that the book is truly a made-in-the-Kootenays project because not only does it focus on the local iconic landmark of Mount Fisher but it was written, designed, produced and printed locally as well. Rocky Mountain Printers did an outstanding job of printing it,” Powell said. The new book is published through the author’s own publishing company, Wild Horse Creek Press. Keith G. Powell has also written and published two other books, “Living in the Shadow of Fisher Peak” and “Raising Kain — the adventurous life of Conrad Kain.”

Coalition of the Unwilling “If Hitler invaded Hell, I would make at least a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons,” said Winston Churchill in 1941, defending his decision to regard Stalin as an ally after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. If the brutal fanatics of ISIS and their new “Islamic State” in parts of Iraq and Syria were really an existential threat to the United States, then President Barack Obama, using the same logic, would now be treating the governments of Syria and Iran as allies. But he isn’t. US Secretary of State John Kerry has just ended a recruiting tour of the Middle East, signing up Arab states and Turkey for a new coalition that will allegedly “degrade and ultimately destroy (ISIS).” Moreover, it must do so without ever requiring US “boots on the ground”: the American public would not stand for any more of that. The US will happily provide air strikes if others will do the dying on the ground, of course, and the Iraqi government will go along with that deal since it has just lost a third of its national territory to ISIS. But it will take a long time to rebuild the Iraqi army after its recent collapse — and the only other US allies who are willing to die to stop ISIS are the Kurds. Jordan will supply intelligence services. Turkey will make it harder for would-be jihadis to cross its borders with Syria and Iraq (the route by which most of ISIS’s foreign recruits have traveled), but it will not let the US use Turkish air bases for military

operations. Egypt murmurs words of encouragement but makes no specific commitments. Almost all the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait included, have promised to stop the large flow of donations from wealthy individuals to the various jihadi outfits in Syria (including, at least until recently, ISIS). The United Arab Emirates reportedly even offered to carry out air strikes against ISIS. But it’s hardly a mass mobilisation, and it doesn’t involve any “boots on the ground”. There are plenty of boots available if Washington wants them, but they are on the wrong feet. The Syrian Gwynne Army has been fighting the jihadis for almost three years Dyer now, and after its initial losses it has managed to hold its own against them everywhere except in eastern Syria. Elsewhere, it has actually been gaining back ground for more than a year now. Then there is Iran, a big, industrialised country whose armed forces do know how to fight. Iran provided the key support for the local Shia militias that stopped ISIS from sweeping into Baghdad last summer, and it has been providing indispensable support to the Syrian government for years. But Washington has not asked these major players to join its new coalition. Indeed, it has invited everybody in the Middle East to join except those who are actually willing to fight ISIS on the ground. How peculiar. There are reasons for this odd be-

haviour, of course. The obsessive American mistrust of Iran goes back to the hostage crisis of the late 1970s, and is reinforced by Israel’s paranoia about Iran. Turkey would go ballistic if the United States started arming the Kurdish rebels of the PKK, who have fought a long and brutal war (currently in remission) against the Turkish state. And it’s just too abrupt a U-turn for Obama to start doing business with Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad, whom he was getting ready to bomb just one year ago. Maybe a rebuilt Iraqi army can drive ISIS out of Iraq eventually, although ISIS has lots of local support in the Sunni Arab parts of Iraq. But where does Obama think the troops will come from to drive ISIS back in its Syrian heartland? His only answer is to build a new “Free Syrian Army” composed of “moderates” who will fight on two fronts, defeating ISIS while also overthrowing Assad. But that’s ridiculous, since the old FSA has almost all been absorbed into the various jihadi groups in Syria. There is nothing left to build on. For added comic effect, this new Free Syrian Army will be trained in Saudi Arabia, the principal supporter and paymaster of those same jihadi groups until ISIS scared it into hedging its bets. One is tempted to think that Obama is not really all that worried about ISIS as a strategic threat. One is further tempted to speculate that he has learned not to care too much about what happens in the Middle East any more. But those are subjects for another day.

2014-15 WHL Regular Season Preview: Central Division With help from beat reporters around the WHL, The Townsman takes a look at what to expect this season. Today, we dial in on the Central Division

Edmonton Oil Kings

BRIAN SWANE Edmonton Sun

2013-14: 50-19-2-1, first in Central Division, WHL and Memorial Cup champions. Head coach: Steve Hamilton (first season as coach, fifth with team). Key losses: D Cody Corbett, C Riley Kieser, C Reid Petryk (graduat-

Calgary Hitmen SCOT T FISHER Calgary Sun

2013-14: 48-17-3-4, second in Central Division, lost in first round to Kootenay Ice. Head coach: Mark

ed); LW Mitch Moroz (Oilers prospect), D Griffin Reinhart (Islanders), and C Henrik Samuelsson (Coyotes) are virtual locks to go pro. 20-year-olds: The Oil Kings are one over the limit with four in LW Edgars Kulda, D Blake Orban, G Tyler Santos, and D Ashton Sautner, though Kulda (Coyotes) may go pro and Santos is competing with rookie Patrick Dea for the backup goalie job. Imports: The Oil Kings are one over limit, with three; Kulda, a Latvian, and Denmark’s LW Mads Eller, along with

17-year-old Russian Marsel Ibragimov. If Kulda nor Eller (Stars) stick in the pros, one will have to be traded. Key returnees: LW Brandon Baddock (Devils), D Aaron Irving (Predators), D Dysin Mayo (Coyotes), C Brett Pollock (Stars) expected to return after pro camp. The team will go as far as G Tristan Jarry (Penguins), a candidate to be Canada’s World Junior starter, can take them. New: C Brayden Brown, C Davis Koch, LW Garan Magnes and D Chance Patterson are among crop of Oil Kings

that dressed for a game or two last season and now get an opportunity to be regulars. Watch for: Immediate future rests largely on pro fate of Curtis Lazar (Senators), heart and soul of the team, who may or may not make the cut in Ottawa. Noteworthy: The Oil Kings have 12 players in pro camps. At home-opener Saturday when the Memorial Cup banner is raised to the rafters, the Oil Kings lineup could feature as few as four players that saw the ice in their championship.

Did you know? In 40 career WHL playoff games, RW Luke Bertolucci has eight goals, exactly as many as he has in 104 regular season games. After scoring six times in the 2013-14 season, he picked up six goals in the 2014 WHL playoffs, and scored twice in Memorial Cup. Prognosis: Roster turnover is so great it’s almost impossible to see the Oil Kings making another championship run, but a good nucleus of young talent will keep them competitive. Everything else depends on Lazar.

French (first season). Key losses: G Chris Driedger and overagers C Brady Brassart, D Jaynen Rissling and D Alex Roach. 20-year-olds: D Kenton Helgesen, C Mike Winther, C Adam Tambellini, LW Connor Rankin. Imports: C Pavel Karnaukhov (2014 CHL import, first round), C Radel Fazleev (2013 CHL import, first

round), RW Pavlo Padakin (2012 CHL import, first round). Key returnees: LW Jake Virtanen was selected sixth overall by the Vancouver Canucks in June’s NHL draft. Edmonton Oilers prospect Greg Chase will battle Virtanen for team scoring lead. New: C Beck Malenstyn, Karnaukhov, C Jordan Stallard, LW Taylor Sanheim, LW Carsen

Twarynski, D Kirk Johnson, D Marshall Donald, D Jake Bean, G Evan Johnson, G Brandon Kegler. Watch for: The Hitmen to rebound after an embarrassing firstround upset last spring. The Hitmen should win the division and compete with the Wheat Kings for top spot in the Eastern Conference. Noteworthy: French coached the KHL ex-

pansion Medvescak Zagreb into the post-season in 2013-14 ... G Mack Shields was 20-3-0 as a backup last season. Did you know? The Hitmen have qualified for the post-season 16 of the last 17 seasons. Prognosis: LW Jake Virtanen, once recovered from off-season shoulder surgery, will beomce the league’s most dominant power forward.

Medicine Hat Tigers

fourth in Eastern Conference, lost to Edmonton in conference finals. Head coach: Shaun Clouston (fifth season as head coach). Key losses: C Curtis Valk, led Tigers in goals (47) and points (92); RW Jacob Doty and D Dylan Bredo graduated. 20-year-olds: G Marek Langhamer, G Jared Rathjen, D Tommy Vanelli, D Kyle Becker, D Tyler Lewington. Rathjen hasn’t played in pre-season due to undisclosed medical issues while Vanelli (St. Louis) has a good chance of

playing AHL pro. Imports: Langhamer (Czech Republic), C Markus Eisenschmid (Germany). Key returnees: Vanelli, Langhamer, C Trevor Cox, RW Cole Sandford, D Tyler Lewington, RW Miles Koules, C Steven Owre. Lewington, Koules (Capitals) both at rookie camp. New: Rathjen; rookies D David Quenneville, C Mark Rassel, C Mason Shaw are battling. Watch for: Tigers to make moves depending on Langhamer, signed and at Arizona Coyotes

training camp. Noteworthy: Connor Hobbs was part of Canada’s U-18 team that won gold at Ivan Hlinka Cup. Did you know? Tigers to play 45th, final season in Medicine Hat Arena prior to leaving for $61-million events centre slated to open next fall. Prognosis: Medicine Hat will aim to host a playoff series or two, presuming Langhamer returns and Cox and Koules have big years. After 12 straight seasons of reaching the playoffs, fans expect no less.

There will be a shift of leadership in Cranbrook this season. As Sam Reinhart (left) graduates to the NHL, Luke Philp (centre) and Jaedon Descheneau (back) will take over the reigns of the Kootenay Ice.

Kootenay Ice TAYLOR ROCC A Cranbrook Daily Townsman

2013-14: 39-28-2-3; sixth in Eastern Conference; lost to Medicine Hat Tigers in Eastern Conference semi-final. Head coach: Ryan McGill (third season). Key losses: C Sam Reinhart led Ice with 105 points. Awarded the Four Broncos Trophy as WHL Player of the Year, he was drafted second by Buffalo at 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The 2014 CHL Sportsman of the Year is expected to stick with Buffalo; F Tim Bozon (62 points) expected to graduate to minor pro after recovering from Neisseria meningitis; D Jagger Dirk graduated. 20-year-olds: RW Austin Vetterl, LW Levi Cable, G Mackenzie Skapski. Skapski could stick with New York Rangers AHL affiliate. Imports: C Alexander Chirva (Russia), D Rinat Valiev (Russia).

Key returnees: C Luke Philp, RW Jaedon Descheneau, D Tanner Faith, Valiev all at NHL camps, but expected to return. New: Chirva (33rd, 2014 CHL Import Draft); rookies LW Austin Wellsby, C Vince Loschiavo, LW Jared Legien; blueliners Cale Fleury, Bryan Allbee, Mark O’Shaughnessy in the mix. Watch for: Philp to take reigns, both in leadership and offense, with expected graduation of former captain Reinhart. Noteworthy: Fleury was invited to Hockey Canada U-17 camp this summer and is younger brother of Carolina Hurricanes first-rounder Haydn Fleury. Did you know? Ice have made playoffs in 16 consecutive seasons. Team will look to build on WHL-record 15 consecutive regular seasons with record of .500 or better. Prognosis: Should build on regular-season record, while extending playoff-appearance run. But there is no replacing Sam Reinhart. How far team goes will depend on the emergence of youngsters like Fleury, Legien and Loschiavo.

2013-14: 35-32-1-4, ninth in Eastern Conference, missed playoffs. Head coach: Brent Sutter (11th season). Key losses: G Patrik Bartosak, whose .924 save percentage was third-best in league, and RW Rhyse Dieno (25-41-

Lethbridge Hurricanes

66 last season), to graduation; C Aspen Sterzer will attend university. 20-year-olds: RW Brooks Maxwell; D Brett Cote, acquired from Victoria; Devan Fafard moves from defence to forward. Imports: D Hugo Jansons (Latvia) and D Mario Grman (Slovakia), were selected in 2014 CHL Import Draft. Key returnees: D Haydn Fleury and C Conner Bleackley were selected in first round of 2014 NHL Entry Draft; Maxwell and C Presten Kopeck are candidates

to wear a letter; C Wyatt Johnson, D Kayle Doetzel and LW Evan Polei were invited to NHL camps; LW Grayson Pawlenchuk and C Adam Musil expected to have breakout seasons. New: C Jeff de Wit, the club’s first pick in the 2013 bantam draft and D Josh Mahura, taken in the second round; Cote; G Ryan Toth, 18; Grman and Jansons; D Austin Strand, C Brayden Burke and RW Mason McCarty, all 17. Watch for: Toth and returnee Taz Burman,to share goaltending duties

almost equally early on. Noteworthy: Musil was a member of Canada’s U18 team that won gold at the Memorial of Ivan Hlinka tournament. Did you know? The Rebels haven’t advanced past the second round of the playoffs since 2004. Prognosis: Rebels will score more and the blueline is improved in terms of skill and agility. The question is: Can Burman and Toth supply the goaltending necessary to make a move up the standings? If so, the Rebels will qualify for post-season play.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Thursday and my freshly minted column. Today, I’d like to use this as a way of introduction. For those who don’t already know me, my name is Taylor Rocca and I’ll be doing my best to fill the large sports desk shoes left by Mr. Trevor Crawley, who believes he has jumped the fence for greener pastures at the news desk. I know I’m new to these parts, but hopeful-

2013-14: 12-55-2-3, last in Eastern Conference, WHL and all three CHL members. Head coach: Drake Berehowsky (second season). Key losses: Captain F Josh Derko (11G, 5A) graduated and D Macoy Erkamps did not report,

demanding a trade. 20-year-olds: D Nick Walters, D Tyler Bell, F Riley Sheen. Sheen is limping with a knee injury but should return. Bell one of few shot-blockers. Key returnees: F Reid Duke (15G, 25A) held out of camp, and F Tyler Wong (17G, 14A)

need to stay healthy and motivated as team needs help up front. New: F Jaeger White is only 16 but electrifying in pre-season. Rookie G Stuart Skinner, will be the starter, based on camp hype alone. Skinner — then 15 — had a four-game tryout last season and looked good in pre-season. He’ll battle 18-year-old Zac Robidoux, for starts. Robidoux has less experience (two games with Medicine Hat) than Skinner. Watch for: Import F Pavel Skumatov, who looks like a dynamic offensive threat. Noteworthy: Team was in financial distress last season and the WHL

got involved, telling City Council that if certain targets weren’t met, there would be consequences. All the pronouncement did was enhance the soap opera. Did you know: Maxwell won 1987 Memorial Cup with Medicine Hat, then won it in 1991 with Spokane before overseeing a WHL championship in Lethbridge in 1997. He was fired by the Hurricanes in 2002-03. Prognosis: Another struggle but there appears to be a plan. Forwards are small, but White and the Russians should add excitement while management tries to avoid league’s murky admonishments.

Taylor Rocca right here, I would encourage you to do so by emailing me (sports@ dailytownsman.com) or getting in my grill on Twitter (@taylorrocca). I love to hear from readers and yes, I love my social media. Some quick-hit notes on who I am and where I’m from: I spent the past year in Kindersley, Sask. as the sports reporter for Jamac Publishing Ltd., where I covered the Kindersley Klippers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. I’m also a few years removed from an editorial internship with The Hockey News and even a few more years removed from a summer work-experience position with the Western Hockey League head office.

MORE INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION

Enough about me and on to more pressing issues. Today, we find ourselves in the midst of my favourite time of the year. Yes, this ranks higher on my list than the NHL trade deadline, free agent frenzy and even my birthday. To be honest, I sometimes have to be reminded it’s my birthday. Good friends, junior hockey season is upon us. We’re fortunate enough to have major junior hockey right in our backyard. Many towns and cities around the country would love to have a major junior hockey organization under their roof, but aren’t as lucky as we in the East Kootenays. In Kimberley, we’re privileged to be home to the KIJHL — arguably the greatest Junior ‘B’ hockey league in the country — and the Dynamiters. I would argue hockey at its purest form can be found in the rink at 6 a.m. when the littlest tykes chase the biscuit gleefully and parents sit frozen, half asleep and coffee in hand. Still, junior hockey is perhaps the purest form of the competitive game. Yes, the professional game is a spectacle to be seen and the Olympics represent the world’s elite competing for their respective countries. But, in my humble opinion, nothing quite compares to the beauty of the game at this level as young men fight, day in and day out, for a shot at a career, a livelihood. Some will move on to decade-long pro careers, while others will play out their time in junior before seeking out another path. One thing will remain common between these very separate outcomes: for five years, these players give their heart, soul, sweat and blood to a community, both on the ice and off it. Whether it’s the Kimberley Civic Centre or Western Financial Place, I hope to see you soon. Please feel free to stop me and say, “hello.” Ladies and gentlemen, here’s to cold rinks, hot shots and heavy hits. Hockey season has returned.

Whitecaps expand Cranbrook operations

Vikings place star RB Adrian Peterson Cranbrook Skills Centre evolves into Kootenay East Prospects Academy “With any program Kootenay West Pros- and repetition is what ticipating players],” said on exempt list Whitecaps regional that we run, we want to pects Academy in Nel- we’re about.

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Vancouver’s professional soccer team is expanding its presence in Cranbrook. The Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer partnered with the Kootenay East Youth Soccer Association (KEYSA) to provide the Whitecaps Cranbrook Skills Centre in September 2013. In a matter of a year, the program has been advanced in an effort to further develop soccer talent in the Cranbrook and Kimberley area. “Within that year, we’ve seen such an improvement with the level and ability [of par-

head coach Brett Adams Wednesday afternoon. “We decided it was only right to move the [Kootenay East] area on to the next level so that we can start to give some of those more committed players a chance and an opportunity to be taught by a professional club.” Wednesday night marked the first session of the Kootenay East Prospects Academy, which houses 80 players, boys and girls, ranging from U-10 to U-18. Players were invited to join the program following tryouts in late August. Approximately 100 hopefuls auditioned for the local academy. That is a vital difference between the former Skills Centre and the Prospects Academy. The Skills Centre was open to participants of all abilities, with a focus on developing basic soccer skills.

encourage that fun element and the ability for players not to be frightened to make mistakes,” said Adams, who holds a UEFA ‘A’ license, the highest coaching license one can obtain. “But this prospects group certainly goes more towards the finer points of the game. “We’re now trying to improve [player] skills and let them see where that fits within the game.” The Kootenay East Prospects Academy isn’t the only Whitecaps program in the Kootenays. The Vancouver-based club also operates the Fernie School Academy, which also began sessions Wednesday night. The Fernie program is designed similarly to the previous Cranbrook Skills Centre, with all interested welcome to participate. On the west side of the Kootenays lies the

son. It functions just as the Cranbrook academy does. Between the Cranbrook and Nelson academies, there is a total of 240 participants enrolled. Adams oversees operations at both Kootenay academies, planning sessions from top to bottom. Assistant coach Sam Heap will run the sessions in Cranbrook, while Adams runs the show in Nelson. The Kootenay East Prospects Academy’s fall sessions run from Sept. 17 through Nov. 19. Once the snow melts, the program will recommence in the spring. Dates for spring sessions will be released at a later time. “It’s okay having a player for 10 weeks, but then if you don’t see him again for 20 [weeks], players forget things,” Adams said. “Continuity

“The more you see a player, the better they become. They start picking up good habits and they start learning and challenging themselves. That’s one of the big things. We’re trying to keep these players together all year long.” The Whitecaps run similar prospect academies in Kamloops, Prince George, Vancouver and Vernon. Adams plans to set up tournaments around the province as well as a training weekend in Vancouver, allowing players to gain valuable experience in a more competitive environment. Adams wished to thank KEYSA for its participation and embracing of the Whitecaps programs in the East Kootenays. “Without these fantastic volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.”

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings have placed star running back Adrian Peterson on the exempt/ commissioner’s permission list, a move that will require him to stay away from the team while he addresses child abuse charges. The Vikings made the announcement early Wednesday morning after initially deciding that Peterson could

play with the team while the legal process played out. Peterson is charged with a felony for using a wooden switch to spank his four-year-old son. The Vikings came under heavy criticism for their initial stance. Several sponsors responded by either suspending their deals with the Vikings or severing ties with Peterson. Owners Zygi and Mark Wilf say they have reconsidered their position after further reflection.

Women’s hockey program aims to build interest Submit ted

The Cranbrook Women’s Learn to Play Hockey Team is back for another season and is on the hunt for ladies interested in learning to play hockey. “A few years ago, we recognized there were a number of ladies who wanted to learn how to skate and play hockey, but who were intimidated by starting out in the faster paced Women’s League. The concept of an introductory league was born and we’ve

tried to continue to build participation and interest,” said Loree Duczek, one of the Coordinators of the Cranbrook Women’s Learn to Play Team. “We have ladies who have never had skates on and by the end of the season, they are playing in the scrimmage. It’s amazing to see their progress.” The Learn to Play Team plays Monday nights at the Kinsmen Arena starting on Oct. 20 and is now taking registrations. The regis-

tration deadline is Oct. 2 and forms can be picked up and dropped off at Boston Pizza in Cranbrook. “Our focus is on personal skill development, and it is our hope that as players become more skilled and comfortable with the game, they will progress on to the other women’s teams in Cranbrook, thereby keeping women’s hockey numbers in Cranbrook strong,” Duczek added. While the focus is on fun in a non-intimidat-

ing environment, ladies can look forward to being challenged every week. “We have four weeks of power skating, guest coaches who put us through our paces, partner/friend games and scrimmages,” Duczek said. “It’s our favourite night of the week in the winter, and I’d encourage any ladies who’ve considered playing but have never taken the leap, to join us for the 2014-15 season.”

1898 New Barman … W. J. Woodward, the far famed mixologist, is now tickling the palates of the patrons of the Commercial Hotel bar. New Horse … J. M. Headly, of the bank, has purchased an Arabian steed. Headly takes great pride in his new acquisition and is now endeavouring to teach the animal to eat oats. Cranbrook Hotel … The large two-story addition to the Cranbrook Hotel is rapidly nearing completion and will be ready for occupancy in a few days. This will give

Ryan & Morrison one of the finest hotels in East Kootenay. Mr. Ryan is now in the east purchasing furniture. News of Baker … Col. Baker left Tuesday morning for the east. He will sail on the Teutonic on the 28th for England, where he expects to remain for several months looking after matters of general interest to Cranbrook and visiting relatives and old time friends. Two New Churches ... Last week Rev. C. A. Procunier, who has charge of the Church of England services for Fort Steele, Cranbrook and Moyie, spent several days in town in the interest of his organization. As a result a subscription of several hundred

dollars was secured, plans prepared and tenders asked to erect a church building at once. The contract will be let the latter part of the week if a satisfactory tender is received. Rev. McPherson, pastor of the Presbyterian congregation, is raising a subscription to erect a church in this city, and is meeting with success. Mr. McPherson says that he will receive liberal assistance from his church in the east if he secures a good subscription here. 1899 Expensive Freight … Last week one of the richest cargoes of freight ever carried on the C.P.R. passed through Winnipeg from Vancouver. The train consisted

of seventeen cars loaded with silk, which is valued at $1,750,000. This is consigned to eastern cities. The Oriental traffic done by the C.P.R. is steadily increasing. Mending … Fred Pieper and Tommy O’Callahan have nearly recovered from their runaway accident of last week. They both carry the marks of their disaster, but are feeling good over their fortunate escape, if they did smash up a buggy and kill a horse. 1900 Baker Street is Handsome … The grading of Baker Street has been completed, and its present appearance is a credit to Cranbrook, and would be to any town twice its size. It is also creditable to Messrs Breckinridge and Lund the contractors who did the job so quickly and nicely. The street at present presents a very handsome appearance, and with people going

through on the trains will inspire a belief that the citizens of Cranbrook are enterprising, energetic and above all particular to have their streets and avenues attractive in looks. A Sad Affair ... All have been familiar with the fact for some time that Captain Parker, of the Strathcona Horse was killed several weeks ago in an engagement with the Boers. An extract from a letter under date of August 4, regarding the event, written to E. Small by “Walt” Edwards, will doubtless prove interesting reading. It is as follows: “. . . Well, old boy, we had a very sad affair happen since I last wrote you. Sergeant (or Captain Parker, as you knew him) was killed last Monday — shot right through the heart — and private Arnold, from Fernie, was badly wounded in the leg; in fact he is liable to lose it. Fifteen of us went to bring in about 30 Boers;

they wanted to surrender; it was about six miles from camp, and there were five houses close together, all flying the white flag, and the Boers were all around in the creek bottom; so they let us get within 100 to 200 yards from them, then fired on us from three sides. Say! you ought to see us go, and the Boers chasing us for two miles. I don’t see how it was we weren’t all killed, as the bullets flew all around us. But, say! We gave ’em all the ‘high ball.’ Parker and Arnold were about 400 yards to the right of us, and when they retreated they made over toward the rest of the troop to join them , but they ran right in to the Boers, evidently mistaking them for us, as they were dressed in khaki also. They told Arnold that if he and Parker had held up their hands when they told them to they would never have shot them. They went out in the afternoon and got Parker’s body, but they could not find Arnold. The Boers took him into the house that night, and he says they used him fine . . . Well, old boy, I will tell you how all the boys are getting along. Bob Shaw is in the hospital at Standerton with rheumatism and feeling pretty badly; Harry Melton is still in the hospital; Ike Foster is still at Dunbar, and I don’t know how he is getting along, all the rest of the lads are feeling fine ... From Old Ned.” New Industry …

There is an industry, hitherto unconsidered, that had ought to thrive in Cranbrook — that is breeding goats. There is a most excellent range for this useful animal right in town, as the alleys abound in a choice crop of tin cans, old shoes, and other delicacies so dear to the palate of the well-bred goat.

Dance … The lacrosse boys will give a dance in Wentworth hall on the evening of the 25th. Tickets $1.00. Ladies free.

NASA’s Maven spacecraft reaches Mars this weekend after 442 million-mile journey Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Mars is getting another visitor or two. This weekend, NASA’s Maven spacecraft will reach the red planet following a 10-month journey spanning 442 million miles (711 million kilometres). If all goes well, the robotic explorer will hit the brakes and slip into Martian orbit Sunday night. Right behind is India’s first interplanetary spacecraft, which is due to go into orbit around

Mars two days after Maven. Maven is not designed to land. Rather, it will study Mars’ upper atmosphere from orbit. Scientists want to learn how Mars went from a warm, wet world that may have harboured microbial life during its first billion years, to the cold, barren place of today. Maven should help explain the atmospheric changes that led to this radical climate change. NASA launched Maven last November.

Pearl of the Danube Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel discusses the enchantments of Budapest

Budapest, “Pearl of the Danube” or “Paris of the East”. Either way, this is one beautiful city! I recently visited, and now I can understand why this city is ranked as the most liveable city in Central/Eastern Europe. The population is 1.75 million. The influence of Viennese and Parisian architecture is quite apparent. Situated on the Danube River, Budapest has always been an important city for trade. Today more than 4.3 million people visit the city annually. The history is fascinating. The first Hungarians settled here in the 9th century. Buda, the old city, means ‘water’ in Slavic, and Pest, the new city, means ‘cave’. The Chain Bridge was built in 1849, linking Buda and Pest and was the first permanent bridge across the Danube. Now there are seven bridges. Unification of the two cities occurred in 1873 and Budapest became the capital of a dual monarchy in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today, the Buda side is more residential, with Turkish influence, and you will find the Buda Castle (built in 1265) and the Palace on this side. The Pest side is more commercial, noisy and lively, you will find the Great Market Hall on this side. With the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire following the Second World War, Hungary lost two thirds of its land and many separate countries were formed. During WWII, the Germans destroyed all the bridges and heavily bombed the city. Amazingly, the beautiful Hungarian Parliament Building (built in 1904) was spared. Genocide took the lives of 250,000 Jews, and in 1949, Hungary was declared Communist. The Hungarian Revolution occurred in 1956 and by 1964, all the bridges had been rebuilt. In 1989, the Iron Curtain fell. All Communist monuments were removed and today are housed in a Museum. So, with all that history, there are many places to see and things to do!

The State Opera House in Budapest, Hungary est metro lines in the world; the Parliament Building, State Opera House, Buda Castle, Heroes Square and St. Stephen’s Basilica are spectacular. There are 18 universities here so it’s a young, vibrant city. There are Viennese-style

Rotary Review World Polio Day is October 24, 2014

World Polio Day is October 24, 2014

orld Polio Day was established by Rotary International over a decade ago to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk, who led the first team to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis. Use of this inactivated poliovirus vaccine and subsequent widespread use of the oral poliovirus, developed by Albert Sabin, led to the establishment of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in 1988. ince then, GPEI has reduced polio worldwide by 99%. However, in 2012, transmission of indigenous wild poliovirus continued in three countries: Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. In April 2012, the World Health Assembly declared the completion of polio eradication a programmatic emergency for global public health.

Facts • 3 ENDEMIC COUNTRIES LEFT • 2.5 BILLION CHILDREN IMMUNIZED AGAINST POLIO

• Polio anywhere is a risk to children everywhere. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is committed to fighting the disease until every child is safe. • This is our chance to make history by wiping out the second human disease ever. Globally, we are “this close” to ending polio. • Rotary has raised more than US$1 billion dollars and committed countless

volunteer hours to fight the disease. Why end polio now? • The Human Cost: If we don’t end polio now, experts say the disease could rebound to 10 million cases in the next 40 years. • It’s Achievable: There is no cure for polio, but the polio vaccine successfully prevents cases. Success in polio eradication sets the stage for the next big global health initiative. • It’s a Good Investment: The world has invested $9 billion dollars toward polio eradication and an independent study published in the medical journal Vaccine estimates the net economic benefits at US$40 to 50 billion over the next 20 years – a savings that can be put toward fighting other diseases. The infrastructure for polio immunization also strengthens the systems for other health interventions.

Ninth Annual

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could get caught up in a domestic issue, but feedback from a key person might help. You intuitively will mobilize your energy to resolve the problem. Make sure to schedule an appointment for a checkup. You have been pushing hard. Tonight: Nap, then decide. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others seem to be focused on being more caring. You’ll need to ask questions in order to see the big picture. Information that comes in could require you to do some research. Don’t allow your imagination to do the work. Tonight: Socialize, but make it an early night. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Know where your money is going. Don’t hesitate to ask for an explanation from the bank, a partner or whoever else might be involved. Listen to feedback from a loved one or a neighbor, as this person tends to see situations differently from how you see them. Tonight: Hang out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could encounter a problem with a real estate matter or some issue involving your domestic life. Once you open up conversation, you will see the solution and act on it. Be willing to go out of your way to treat a loved one. Buy a token of affection. Tonight: Indulge a little. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll want to assume a low profile during the day. When asking questions, your observations might be more important than the responses you receive. Others will open up and speak more if you are less talkative and more receptive. Tonight: Stay out late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to a friend’s news. You might believe that he or she has left out some important facts, but recognize that you can get more information only when you know more about the situation. Use caution with money, and count your change. Tonight: Make weekend plans. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have a tendency to worry

Tundra

too much and create problems where there are none. You might have to shoulder some extra responsibility. Don’t allow these tasks to become a part of your daily life. You are just doing someone else a favor -- period. Tonight: Be playful. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep your eye on the long term, and don’t let your emotions take over right now. You need to take another look at a personal situation. Intellectual pursuits are very possible, as long as you tap into your creativity. Welcome a different perspective. Tonight: Follow the music. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to touch base with a close friend or loved one before acting on what you deem a “good idea.” Though you might not be ecstatic about some of the feedback, your idea will get a practical new look. Tonight: Plan a concert, a trip or some other weekend happening. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will enjoy letting others carry the ball for you. The expe-

rience could prove to be enlightening for both them and you. Understand what motivates you to take the lead so often; you might be far more controlling than you realize. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are determined to get done two days’ worth of work in one. Be careful, because new information could head your way that might force you to backtrack and do what you believed was already done. Recognize your limitations. Tonight: Happily fancy-free. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Continue to tap into your imagination to discover what might be the best way to forge ahead with a project. Discuss your ideas with a trusted adviser or counselor. Understand what is happening with a child and/or loved one. Tonight: Let the fun begin. BORN TODAY Actress Greta Garbo (1905), writer Samuel Johnson (1709), actor Robert Blake (1933) ***

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 55-year-old woman, the youngest of three. When I married 30 years ago, we moved away for my husband’s job. Over the years, we have returned for summer visits, especially since our daughters are close in age to their cousins. We always have made it a priority to attend all important family events, often at great expense. Last year, we traveled to my niece’s destination wedding. But I was hurt that my niece did not ask either of my daughters to be in her wedding party. My brother and his wife (the parents of this bride) have ignored my younger daughter for the past couple of years. They don’t send her birthday or Christmas cards or presents, and totally skipped her recent college graduation. It’s not the money. They are quite wealthy and are generous with their own kids and friends. Meanwhile, I have given nice gifts to their children at every occasion. I do not feel I can maintain a civil relationship with them any longer. My sister knows how self-absorbed my brother and his wife can be, but won’t intercede. We are good, decent people, and I don’t understand their behavior. They act like everything is fine and recently left a phone message for my birthday asking me to call them and let them know whether I’m coming to town. Should I speak my mind about this or let it go? -- Frustrated and Furious Dear Frustrated: The reason your brother acts like everything is fine is because he believes it is. He has no idea that he has hurt you. It is natural for you to be more sensitive to issues regarding your daughters than he is. This is not to excuse his lack of attention, only that we don’t believe it is deliberate, which means forgiveness is easier. Please talk to him without becoming angry. Gently explain that you are hurt when he completely ignores your children’s special occasions and makes you think he doesn’t care about them. We hope he’ll try harder. Dear Annie: Twice in the past month, I witnessed an older woman tumble from the top of a moving escalator all the way to the bottom, as store employees raced to turn it off. In one incident, the shopper was accompanied by someone who could not stop her fall. In the other, the woman seemed confused before the accident, but refused to use the elevator. To complicate matters, her only identification was a receipt in her purse, so it took a while to find the man who had dropped her off. If anyone has a balance problem, uses a cane or walker, has their arms full or is carrying a toddler, etc., please use the elevator instead of the escalator. The few extra minutes are well worth it in order to avoid a horrifying accident. And please be sure to carry proper identification, including names and numbers to call in case of an emergency. -- Stunned Shopper in Shreveport, La. Dear Stunned: Too many people don’t realize (or won’t admit) they have a problem until something happens, and then, of course, it’s too late. People need to be able to hold onto the railing of an escalator and watch their step getting on and off. If you aren’t sure you can do this, please take the elevator. Better safe than sorry. Dear Annie: My husband could have written the letter from “Heartbroken,” whose wife never had time for him when they were younger, and now he’s not interested. I was a busy wife and mother and worked outside the home. I put everything before our relationship. We drifted apart and desperately needed couples counseling. We found the best therapist in our area, and she put us back on track. We just took a cross-country trip in an RV and have developed the most loving relationship we’ve had in 40 years. I hope they give it a shot. -- J Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Barbara passed away with such incredible courage and grace at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook from cancer at the age of 68 years on Sept 16, 2014

End of Life? Bereaved? May We Help?

Barb was a great mom but even better she was a fabulous mother in law to Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife Dena. A few years later she welcomed her grandchildren. Her face would light up at the mere mention of their names. Makenna, Kyla and Ashlyn were so blessed to have you as their Grandma. They will miss you to the moon and back.

The Sendecki family would like to acknowledge the kindness, compassion and the care that was given to Barb during her illness. Many special people and departments were involved and provided us with their and unselfish care above and beyond, and for this we want to sincerely thank everyone.

BROWN, Fredrick Patrick February 28, 1947 September 11, 2014 Fredrick Patrick Brown loved his family, his friends and the Flathead Valley. He was born on February 28, 1947 and passed away at the age of 67 on September 11, 2014. Fred was born and raised in Kimberley, B.C. by his parents Edna and Harry Brown.Â Fred spent most of his lifeÂ in Kimberley,Â until moving to Cranbrook in 2004. Fred is survived by his loving and dedicated wife of 43 years, Beverley Brown, and by his three children, Michelle, Steven and Colleen, who love and admire their father for the strong and caring man that he was. He is also survived by his two wonderful and deeply loved granddaughters, Sarah and Amanda Ferguson, and his sister Edna Gold of Ta Ta Creek.Â Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendly and gracious nature will be missed by all that knew him.Â Â Fred spent his life serving and protecting his community as a firefighter for the City of Kimberley Fire Department. He retired as Fire Chief in 1999 after 29 years of service. Prior to joining the Fire Department, Fred worked as a Millwright apprentice for Cominco Ltd. Taking an early retirement from the Fire Department at the age of 52, Fred chose to spend as much time as possible atÂ the cabin in the Flathead. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, riding his quad, cooking, sharing stories and most of all exploring with his beloved dog Buck. At Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no memorial service. He chose to embrace life and wants his family and friends to celebrate his memory in his favourite place on earth. A celebration of Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will take place at a later date in the Flathead Valley.

Reconsidering how our children get around

to school when they were kids but only 28 per cent of their kids do. So curiosity led me to ask parents about why the shift away from walking to school. My findings were similar to those identified by the Active Healthy Kids Canada (2014). When it comes to walking to school as well as other physical activity for kids, parents often choose

What fuels us isn’t just food Are you surprised to know the food we eat is only secondary? Of course we all need to eat to survive, but in order to thrive we need to get a handle on our primary foods. Our primary food is our relationships, career, spirituality, and physical activity. The excitement and bliss from our daily lives can feed us more completely than any food. Let me give you some examples. Let’s think back to when we were kids, playing outside with friends. When we were called in for dinner how many said, “I’m not hungry.” When forced inside to eat, we quickly ate the minimum amount to get right back outside to our waiting friends. Or what about falling in love? Everything is joyous, light, with vivid colours, and you are beaming. You feel almost high off your partner’s presence, and feel satisfied much easier. Even an exciting work project, completely consumed you, feeling content and stimulated. In all of these situations food becomes an afterthought. On the other

hand, let’s recall a time you were feeling depressed, with low self-esteem, starving for primary foods, what happened? Emotional eating? Binging? The need for power, affection, or acknowledgement drove the desire for excess food, trying to satisfy our primary food cravings with secondary food. The program I attended through the Institute for Integrated Nutrition has the best exercise to see how in balance your primary foods are; it is called the Circle of Life. I love this because it is so simple but the power is in the simplicity. What Does YOUR Life Look Like 1. Place a dot on the line in each category to

indicate your level of satisfaction within each area. Place a dot at the center of the circle to indicate dissatisfaction, or on the periphery to indicate satisfaction. Most people fall somewhere in between (see example) 2. Connect the dots to see your Circle of Life. 3. Identify imbalances. Determine where to spend more time and energy to create balance. Circle of life attachment Take some time to see which primary food could use a little extra love, and just do one thing today. Would you like to learn more about primary foods and how they impact your health? Curious about how health coaching can help you make your own healthy changes? Let’s talk!

what they believe will save time, is more convenient and is safer. My morning commute often involves navigating my bike through traffic flowing to and from the nearby schools. While wading through the traffic and idling vehicles, I often wonder how this can be more efficient, convenient and safe. Not only am I and the children who are walking or biking to school at greater risk of being hit by a car, there are also a lot of carbon emissions being dispelled into the neighbourhood as cars idle near the drop off zone. With asthma and obesity on the rise in children and youth maybe it’s time to reflect on the words of our elders and re-consider

ACCEPTABLE PRODUCTS 2014 HHW ROUND UP

Many of us can recall hearing something like this when we were kids: “When I was your age, I used to walk 15 kilometres to get to school in five feet of snow…” This lesson from our elders speaks to our society’s change to a faster pace of life. It also reflects our reliance on automobiles to move us around our community instead of using more active modes of transportation such as walking, biking and even taking public transit. Walking to school improves kid’s physical activity levels, social interactions, and alertness at school and also improves the environment and mental wellbeing of parents. Yet, in Canada, 58 per cent of parents say they always walked

‘Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water’ DVD now available SUBMIT TED

“Earth, Wind, Fire and Water” is a professional production DVD with inspiring photographs and informative narration presented by Janice Strong. The lively and entertaining DVD presentation was made possible by a grant from the BC Nature Federation in conjunction with the Rocky Mountain Naturalists and assistance from BC Hydro. Janice Strong is an outdoor photographer based in the East Kootenay region. Along with her husband Jamie Levine, their work has appeared in many magazines and publications. Janice is also the author of the popular hiking guidebooks, “Mountain Footsteps — Selected Hikes in the East Kootenay of Southeastern BC,” now in its 3rd-edition. The “Earth, Wind, Fire and Water” DVDis now available to all BC Nature clubs and the public. The slideshow was originally shown at the BC Nature Federa-

tion, General Meeting, held in Cranbrook. Janice shares her knowledge and explorations of the connections between the Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. Her extensive research and photography promotes a greater appreciation and caring for the land. “When many people cherish the same place, it gives that little part of wilderness a voice,” she said. “That collective voice magnifies and grows our culture’s outdoor appreciation.” The Rocky Mountain Naturalists, based in Cranbrook, feel this project will create an enduring legacy for the BC Naturalists’ Foundation and BC Nature. This presentation gives our club the opportunity to give back to the community for the support they have shown us over the years. “Earth, Wind, Fire and Water” DVDs may be purchased on Janice Strong’s website: www.janicestrong.com or in selected Cranbrook businesses.
