Ron Popoff seeks seat on Cranbrook Council TOWNSMAN STAFF

Long-time resident Ron Popoff is seeking a seat on City Council in the upcoming municipal elections in November. “I am taking a new avenue in my life and as I approach retirement it is my desire to continue to serve this community,” Popoff said in a press release. “I want to take an active role with Cranbrook City Council and would like to represent you as one of your councillors. Popoff moved to Cranbrook 25 years ago with his wife Joanna, a long-time teacher, “to enjoy the majestic mountains and healthy lifestyle provided by this great community and to raise our family.” Their daughter Laura is currently completing the business program at the College of the Rockies and starting her business career at the St. Eugene Resort. Their son David is also attending the College of the Rockies in the Business program.

RON POPOFF “Over the years I have volunteered in many of our children’s school and club activities and as a result became knowledgeable about the issues and many challenges that face both schools and clubs,” Popoff said. As Health Inspector Popoff spent the first 10 years in Cranbrook engaging with the business community and the public to provide for a safe and healthy community including restaurant

inspections, drinking water quality, and communicable disease prevention. He was integrally involved in the mosquito West Nile Virus program and spearheaded the local smoke free bar and restaurant initiative. “Since that time I have managed the Kootenay region utilizing my leadership, strategic planning, budgeting, program performance, and labour relations skills,” he said. “I know how government functions and I know how to navigate for success.” Popoff is proud of his years of involvement with Kinsmen and now with the Rotary Club of Cranbrook, servicing many of the community’s greatest needs. “Being on the Board of Directors of both organizations and providing guidance and support to many local service agencies within our community,” Popoff said.

Many people have been touched by breast cancer. Whether you have dealt with your own diagnosis or that of a friend or family member, the prevalence of breast cancer has left few people without a story to tell about a personal experience with this potentially deadly disease. According to Breastcancer.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to proving reliable, complete and up-to-date information about breast cancer, roughly one in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her life, while the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation notes the figures are slightly more optimistic in Canada, where one in nine women is expected to develop the disease during her lifetime. Many of the women who develop breast cancer will be diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, or IDC, which the NationalBreast Cancer Foundation notes is the most common type of breast cancer, accounting for between 70 and 80 percent of all diagnoses. While women and even men who develop breast cancer are most likely to be diagnosed with IDC, there are less common forms of breast cancer, and learning about these rare

cancers may help save your life or that of a loved one.

Medullary carcinoma Though medullary carcinoma diagnoses are rare, this is an invasive type of breast cancer that begins in the milk duct and spreads beyond it. The tumor that forms when a person has medullary carcinoma is a soft and fleshy mass. Medullary carcinoma cells typically appear like aggressive, abnormal cancer cells, but these cells do not grow quickly and often do not spread outside the breast to the lymph nodes, which makes medullary carcinoma a relatively easy cancer to treat. Medullary carcinoma can occur at any age, though it typically affects women in their late 40s and early 50s.

Stetski meets with provincial officials at UBCM T r e vo r C r awl ey

Local city politicians have returned from the annual gathering of elected officials that makes up the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. Cranbrook mayor Wayne Stetski, along with councillors Sharon Cross, Diana J. Scott and Gerry Warner represented Cranbrook at the event, as municipal officials met with their provincial counterparts to address and solve local issues. For Stetski, there was a number of issues to address that reached across several provincial ministries, including highway tourism, fair municipal funding and tackling urban deer. In addition to the individual meetings with provincial ministries, the UBCM delegates passed roughly 134 resolutions on topics such as funding municipalities with no population and calling on the government to add more police officers to rural areas. Acquiring funding for a few infrastructure projects was one of the more important meetings Stetski had with Coralee Oaks, the minister of community, sport and cultural development. “Specifically the need for funding for completing the sewage transfer pipe line which goes from the lagoons at the end of town here out to the spray irrigation fields on the way to Fernie,” Stetski said. “Half the pipeline has been completed and enlarged, and we need about $5.8 million, is the estimate, to complete that pipeline. “The second project of sort of priority significance here, is doing replacements for the dam at Idlewild Lake and Idlewild Park, and to dredge the lake. It does fill in with sediment over time, because it is at the mouth of a creek and it’s time to dredge the lake.” It’s been 30 years since Idlewild Lake was last dredged, and there is a concrete wall in the middle of

the lake that can direct the flow while half of it is being dredged, according to Stetski. That project will cost roughly $2.5 million. Stetski is hoping to access funding from the Build Canada Fund, which is a cost-sharing program between the federal, provincial and municipal governments. “The bad news is that there was no opening to even apply right through the summer, so we’ve lost an entire season,” said Stetski. “The good news is that the minister announced, and we

confirmed in our meeting, that starting here in October, we can at least apply for the funding from the program.” Along with municipal funding, the issue of urban deer was a common theme for mayors across the province, as Stetski and his municipal colleagues met with Steve Thompson, the minister of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “A year ago, there was some talk about setting up a committee to work specifically on this issue and concerns, and the minister did announce that he’ll have something up and running

in November,” said Stetski. “The major concern from municipalities, is that these are the province’s deer, but dealing with them costs municipalities money. Of course, municipalities would like to see financial involvement from the province to help with costs.” Other meetings included discussions on the Asia Pacific Initiative, as Cranbrook has been paired up with Taicang Jiangsu province in the Peoples Republic of China and Wonju, Gangwon province in South Korea. However, the provincial government isn’t extending

any more funding for the program, and the city is still trying to recognize the economic benefits, according to Stetski. Stetski also had a chance to network with his municipal counterparts, and he tracked down Port Alberni mayor John Douglas to talk about a derelict building bylaw, which the coastal community created roughly a year ago. “In essence, it’s a registration program for derelict buildings where you pay $1,000 up front to keep your building vacant and it kind of progresses from there in

terms of where things can go and the amount you might have to pay,” Stetski said. “…I’ll be staying in touch with their mayor because it’s something I’m intrigued with in terms of looking at Cranbrook and it’s future and the derelict buildings we have here.” Other meetings included topics such as promoting tourism on Highway 3 from Hope to Sparwood and growing the greenhouse industry in Cranbrook, as it is the sunniest city in B.C., Stetski added.

The Wildfire Management Branch, Southeast Fire Centre, conducted an ecosystem restoration prescribed burn on Thursday, September 25 in the Rocky Mountain Trench between Cranbrook and Kimberley. Strategic Fire Control staff also joined the burn, which will help rejuvenate 387 hectares of prime winter grazing habitat. Burn boss André Chalabi, (shown here in the front row, far left), said initial visual assessments show the burn targets were hit. “This was a low intensity burn,” Chalabi said, “to promote good grass regrowth next spring.” If weather conditions continue to cooperate, crews will deploy again within the next few weeks to conduct another burn near Englishman’s Creek Provincial Recreation Site and the Sweetwater Lake Village at Koocanusa.

“Then I got a call to come home, which was wonderful,” Murray said. Murray received her Museology education through Athabasca University. She also has experience in tourism and office administration. “I’m originally from Regina, but I came here when I was six years old and spent most of my life here, so Cranbrook is home,” she said. “I’m invested in the commu-

nity.” She said a new vision for the museum should be up and running in December or January. That includes a rebranding and relaunch of the museum which will complement the railway portion. “We’ve all waited for a Cranbrook museum for a long time,” she said. “So exciting new things are happening here.” The Cranbrook Mu-

seum will be under the umbrella of the Cranbrook History Centre, which will also include the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel and the Cranbrook archives. “We have the potential to have four or five more galleries here and I’m hoping in six to eight months we will expand on the Cranbrook Museum and make a natural history gallery,” she said. Murray wants to create a community muse-

um where everybody is welcome. “There will be tours where you pay to do the tours; there will be things where you can enter by donation only,” she explained. “It doesn’t matter what their social economic status is. So this will be a community museum. We’re hoping to instil civic pride, appreciation for culture, heritage, conservation. That creates volunteerism and desire to save some of

Popoff running for Council Continued from page 1 With Kinsmen, he chaired the Kinsmen Quad Light-up, and was president during the Kinsmen Kiddie Spray Park development. “Now with Rotary I have the major projects and donations directorship focusing on expansion of Rotary Way within Cranbrook and connecting to the North Star Trail to Kimberley and other regional trails, the Seniors Christmas Dinner, our Rotary Scott Villa providing affordable seniors living, and donations to numerous worthy organizations like the Cranbrook Food Bank. “This has afforded me the chance to be a part of change; to improve our community and

help those in need is very important and has been a most gratifying experience. Popoff said that for him, building community is all about growth. “We need to help entrepreneurs successfully establish and expand their business in Cranbrook,” he said. “My research suggests our business community desires City Hall to coordinate and guide entrepreneurs through this challenging process of forms, rules and permits to success.” More successful businesses means more jobs, Popoff said, “which means our children don’t need to leave Cranbrook to find work. More jobs mean a

broader tax base so less need to raise taxes. More prosperity means we can afford to support community organizations to make Cranbrook a livable community. “And more prosperity means we can fix more of those all too familiar (infamous) potholes! “The combination of my professional, family and community volunteer experiences have given me a broad Cranbrook perspective that I will bring to council and ultimately help grow our community.” Popoff welcomes comments and suggestions from the public. If anyone has questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact Popoff at ron. popoff@shaw.ca

our old buildings.” The museum world is changing and she noted that those involved are realizing museums are no longer just “closets of curiosity” that simply house artifacts and displays. “Part of our public trust responsibility is that we open our doors to our community — it is their tax dollars that are funding many of these organizations, so we want to invite them in,” she said. “So we are trying to extend a hand of hospitality and welcome and create inspiring and engaging exhibits and programs.” The Cranbrook Museum exhibit will be a permanent one. That will include interpretive panels which will explain the history of Cranbrook and the area. They will also be developing interactive displays. “Things that you can engage in, do and touch,” she said. “Museums used to be that you came and you looked only and you were very quiet. We want to create dialogue and conversation, so you can come with your friends. Upstairs there will be temporary exhibits, so those will be constantly changing.” Murray said they are hoping to get an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system so that they can borrow other museums’ exhibits as well. Most museums require the system is in place before they will lend out exhibits. “We will have permanent exhibits and then temporary ones,” she said. She said that among the other new revenue generating ideas is the promotion of the Royal Alexandra Hall for weddings, events, workshops, seminars and Christmas parties. Citizenship presentations were ongoing at the time of the interview on Tuesday. She said the staff at the museum constantly hear people say that they didn’t even know the hall was there, or that it was available for rental. The museum is always looking for new members and volunteers and can be contacted at 250-489-3918.

A moment of maximum inconvenience

was Friday afternoon and I was standing there in the kitchen in what might be called a brown study. I couldn’t remember why I was standing there but then, at my age, this happens far too often. I was staring at the old kitchens stove, a relic of the years, and trying to think what it was that I should be doing. I had been cooking on that stove for many years, since my beloved had given up attempting to chase me out of the room. I’ve enjoyed cooking and, to give myself some credit, ‘whomped up’ some decent meals, and I already had prepared the desserts for that afternoon’s festivities. It occurred to me as I stood in front of that stove that it had got itself overly grubby and maybe I ought to do something about it. Friend George always tells me “Never leave till tomorrow what can be left indefinitely” and I should have heeded him that day. Instead, I took one of the cooking elements apart and peered closely at it. It was coated with black stuff, baked on hard. This puzzled me because I didn’t think I made messes, and I have always wiped the stove top clean after every meal. I hauled out another element; it was worse than the first and the idea of clean-

ing the stove there and then began to penetrate my pea-like brain. As I said earlier: I was expecting company at four o’clock sharp. We’ve been meeting on Fridays at four p.m. for a few years now; I’ve even taken to calling us The Mad-Hatter’s Tea Party but, so far, have refrained from spelling out Peter who the Mad Hatter might In a few hours that was Warland be. going to be apparent. It was the self-cleaning apparatus on that stove that had attracted my lovely spouse and me, and it was that clever business that interested me that afternoon. I pulled all four burners apart, put aside the electric coils for future attention and opened the oven door. The four bowls that go under the burners were obvious candidates. They were thoroughly crusted with years of burned grease. I looked at the chrome plated fancy rings that go round the top, decided that I didn’t dare fire them into the oven; I’d think of something clever for them later. I was about to close the door when I spotted the frying pan. That pan was as black as a witch’s cauldron; it probably had had “eye of newt, and toe of frog,” etc. cooked in it over the years so I thrust it inside and closed the door. I switched to

“self clean.” I then got ready for the arrival of company. That Friday it was my turn to be host and I had already given the living room a good going over with the vacuum cleaner. I wasn’t concerned about the fireplace and the odd shelf; my female visitors are not the type that rub their dainty fingers along shelves and sniff disdainfully at the results. Then, when the smoke began to billow and the alarm went off, it dawned on me that it might just be a moment of maximum inconvenience. I hit the fan button to full blast and opened some windows. As I whisked the electric tea kettle downstairs to the family room and tidied up just a little en route, Satan himself was banging at the oven door and great plumes of smoke were pouring forth as if from the gates of hell. This might have been an appropriate moment to switch off the oven cleaner, but I am not that bright; I just hustled my surprised guests downstairs and put the tea water on, then went back for the desserts from the fridge. It looked as if things had quietened a little in the kitchen and the smoke was dissipating. We had tea, desserts and cynicism regarding my ineptitude downstairs that afternoon and I left for a more appropriate time to see what might be left of the devil incarnate in the oven until next day.

Dodgers hope to heal by Friday Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are heading into the post-season healthier than they were a year ago, and they hope it holds up. The NL West champions have some question marks on their roster, most notably involving 14-game winner Hyun-Jin Ryu and second baseman Dee Gordon. Ryu is set to throw a simulated game Thursday as he rehabs from shoulder inflammation.

The left-hander hasn’t pitched in a game since Sept. 12, when he was removed after one inning. The Dodgers foresee him starting Game 3 of the NL Division Series in St. Louis on Oct. 6. Gordon left a game last Saturday because of irritation in his right hip, an issue that bothered him in June, too. He downplayed it during Tuesday’s workout at Dodger Stadium, suggesting others are making too big a deal of it.

Angels’ OF Hamilton ready Joe Resnick Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels slugger Josh Hamilton says he’s feeling better and is ready for the playoffs later this week. The former AL MVP missed 21 of the Angels’ last 22 games because of shoulder and other upper-body injuries. Hamilton worked out Tuesday, and said he’s set for Thursday when the Angels host the wild-card winner in the opener of the AL Division Series. “I feel good, just like yesterday. I ran, threw, faced a lot of pitching, so I’m good to go,” Hamilton said. “There’s always pain, but the point is I’m not having muscle spasms.” Hamilton hit .263 with 10 home runs and 44 RBIs in 89 games. All of his homers came on the road, the first time in his career that he went an entire season without one in his home ballpark. Hamilton is in the second season of a fiveyear, $125-million contract, which he signed as a free agent after help-

ing the Texas Rangers win back-to-back AL pennants. Manager Mike Scioscia said he’s yet to decide whether Hamilton will be in his usual left field spot or the designated hitter. Had those injuries occurred in the middle of the season, Hamilton acknowledged he would be taking more time allowing everything to heal. “There’s a time to be smart and patient, and there’s a time to just do what you’ve got to do to get back and play and help the team. I’m looking forward to it, man,” he said. Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker also said he’s feeling fine. He hasn’t been in a game since Sept. 15 because of a mild oblique strain. Shoemaker threw during a bullpen session Tuesday and later seemed confident there would be no setbacks. Jered Weaver (18-9) will start Game 1 for the Angels. Scioscia has yet to announce who will pitch next in the best-offive series.

Scherzer to start Game 1 for Tigers Noah Trister Associated Press

DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers will start this post-season just like last year’s: Max Scherzer in Game 1, Justin Verlander in Game 2. Manager Brad Ausmus announced the team’s rotation for its AL Division Series, which begins Thursday at Baltimore. Scherzer also started Detroit’s post-season opener last year, not long before he was voted the American League’s Cy Young Award winner. The righthander went 18-5 with a 3.15 ERA this season. “He’s been our best pitcher,” Ausmus said. The Tigers have the AL’s last three Cy Young winners in Scherzer, David Price and Verlander. Price (15-12) will start Game 3 in Detroit on Sunday, with Porcello (15-13) slated for Game 4. It was a tough year for Verlander, who finished 15-12 with a 4.54 ERA, but his last couple starts were encouraging. He started Game 2 of last year’s ALDS against Oakland, then returned to shut down the Athletics in the decisive Game 5.

Detroit has reached the AL Championship Series the last three years, and the Tigers won the pennant in 2012. They owe much of their post-season success to their starting pitching. Detroit’s starters have posted a 2.12 ERA over the last two postseasons, holding opponents to a .191 average. But that wasn’t enough to win the franchise’s first World Series title since 1984. “Generally speaking, pitching can make the difference, but you just don’t know how it plays out,” said Ausmus, who is in his first season as Detroit’s manager. “Usually you feel like the pitching makes the difference, but then you have a game that’s 1210. We feel good about, obviously, our starting staff going in, but the bottom line is you don’t know how the games are going to go.” A star-studded rotation may appear to look great, but it’s no guarantee of success over a small period of time. That was already clear during the regular season. Detroit looked like a heavy favourite in the AL

Central after acquiring Price from Tampa Bay at the trade deadline, but the starting rotation didn’t exactly dominate, posting a 3.97 ERA since Aug. 1. Injuries and spot starts inflated that figure a bit, but even standouts like Scherzer and Price had their share of shaky outings. The Tigers won the division anyway, with Price pitching brilliantly on the regular season’s final day to help wrap up first place. Now Detroit returns to familiar ground in the playoffs. The Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals are the only teams making a fourth straight post-season appearance this year. The last three times Detroit was in the ALDS, the Tigers advanced by winning Game 5 on the road. Verlander pitched the last two of those winner-take-all victories, holding Oakland without a run both times.

Orioles believe they’ve assembled winning formula David Ginsburg Associated Press

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles prefer to focus on what they have rather than who they’re missing when assessing their chances of advancing deep into the post-season. The Orioles went 96-66 and cruised to their first AL East title since 1997 with a standard formula for success: a power-laden lineup, strong pitching and solid defence. They have no reason to believe anything will change in the playoffs, even though they will begin the AL division series against Detroit on Thursday without three former All-Stars —

catcher Matt Wieters, third baseman Manny Machado and first baseman Chris Davis. Wieters underwent season-ending elbow surgery in May, Machado was lost in August with a torn knee ligament and Davis is serving a 25-game suspension for using amphetamines. Their absence doesn’t seem to bother the Orioles. Rookie Caleb Joseph and Nick Hundley will never be confused with Wieters, a two-time AllStar and winner of two Gold Gloves. But Joseph exceeded expectations after finally making it to the big leagues in his seventh pro season, and Hundley contributed immediately after Ori-

oles executive vice-president of baseball operations Dan Duquette acquired him in a trade with San Diego May 24. Manager Buck Showalter alternated both of them wisely, and the Orioles kept on winning.

“When Wieters went down. It was like a turning point for the team,” closer Zach Britton said. “We could have gone bad, but everyone decided, ‘You know what? Do a little bit extra.’ We brought up Caleb and acquired Nick. At that moment, everything

started clicking. Pitching was there, offence was there. The bullpen, we started doing our job, too. It’s been that way ever since.” After Machado departed in August, the same process applied. When Davis missed time earlier in the season with a rib cage injury, Steve Pearce took over at first base. Pearce (.293, 21 homers) has been invaluable, and a good team got even better when Duquette traded for reliever Andrew Miller, third baseman Kelly Johnson and outfielder Alejandro De Aza. One of Duquette’s best moves came before the season, when he signed free agent slugger Nelson Cruz to an $8

million, one-year contract. Cruz had the best year of his career, hitting a major-league leading 40 homers and driving in 108 runs. The Orioles led the majors with 211 homers, had four starters finish with double-digit wins and are very efficient in the back end of the bullpen. That just might be enough to get them into the World Series for the first time since 1983. “We find ways to win,” Pearce said. “When we find ourselves in big games, everybody’s been stepping up all year. That’s why we are where we are, and that’s what you need to do this time of year.”

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I love my in-laws to pieces, but it bothers me that they are too nice. No one who lives in their household pays for anything. When my husband and I lived with them, we always helped out, but now that we’ve moved on, my in-laws are having a hard time paying the bills. But they won’t ask any of their kids to fork over. My brother-in-law’s girlfriend lives in the house, and they have a daughter together. Right now, my brother-in-law is in jail, and the mother barely cares for her daughter. Either my in-laws do it, or my husband and I take over her care. The girlfriend often leaves the house with no notice, sometimes in the middle of the night, and never bothers to feed her little girl. She has no job and has two kids by other fathers whom she also doesn’t take care of. When we criticize this, she threatens to take her daughter away. I’m getting tired of this. We love this child. Can the mother really take her away? I hate that she is using my in-laws and blackmailing them this way. I think she is using drugs, but I’m not sure because she’s rarely around. I want to call Child Protective Services, but my in-laws say absolutely not. What should I do? -- Concerned Daughter-in-Law Dear Concerned: Would your in-laws (or you) petition for custody of this child? When Child Protective Services investigates (reporting can be done anonymously) and finds cause to remove the child from the home, the best placement is often with other relatives. This could turn out to be you. We cannot promise that the mother won’t run off with the girl, although she seems more likely to run off alone. Please discuss this possibility with your husband and his parents. We hope they are willing to take the necessary steps to ensure this child’s future. Dear Annie: Here is an idea for those who have been bothered by people who “over contribute” or dominate the conversation. When we know there will be such a person at a get-together, we appoint one person to be the designated listener. This person directs the talkative person away from the group and focuses intently on him or her, listening attentively and encouraging them to continue talking. The rest of the group can then have a reasonably interactive conversation. I have been the listener on a few occasions and realize that some folks can’t help themselves. They must talk continuously, giving no thought to whether or not their conversation is interesting to anyone else. Distracting them away from the group makes the evening tolerable. -- A Designated Listener Dear Listener: We like the idea of a designated listener, the way someone is a designated driver. As long as you alternate positions and everyone is agreeable when it comes to taking a turn, this is an effective and kind way to include those who need to be at such gatherings but can make the events difficult to endure. Dear Annie: In response to “Wedding Jitters,” I have another reason to get a prenuptial agreement for those marrying later in life. Greedy heirs. My brother’s mother-in-law remarried in her 60s. Soon after, she became incapacitated with a brain tumor, and her spouse suffered severe health issues and entered a nursing home. His children immediately started demanding things, claiming that she had “abandoned” him. All the lawyer did was shrug and tell them to hope that she died first, but she didn’t. His son and daughter were given half of all their assets, including those she had clearly kept separate from the joint holdings. My sister-in-law had to give them a car and remortgage the house.

Jack (John) Neale passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Thursday September 25, 2014 at the age of 67 years after a courageous battle with cancer. Jack was born April 21, 1947 in Brantford Ontario. He married the love of his life and soul mate Judy on December 30, 1967 where they shared the next 46 years together. He was a devoted husband, father and an inspiration to his grandchildren. Family meant everything to him and he felt blessed that he had a close bond to each and every one of them. Jack worked at Fabroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sawmill before being employed by Cominco for 30 years. He enjoyed sports, camping and travelling. His favorite pastimes were playing poker and crib with his family and friends. Jack is survived by his loving wife Judy, his daughter Tami Prasad and his son Tom (Kelley) Neale, grandchildren; Josh (Devan), Jessica, Dillon, Brianna, Megan, Donavan and Savanna, Brothers; Jim (Donna), Bob (Marg), Gary (Sheri). Sisters; Mary (George), Dawn (Mike); Brothers/ Sisters In-laws; Jean, Fred (Deb), Terry (Sheryl), Mary Ann (Leo). As well as many family and friends.

Music, song and dance was all part of the Sept. 21 celebration honouring United Nations International Day of Peace.

Celebration of peace For the Townsman

Rotary Park was abuzz with music, song and dance, as people gathered to honour the United Nations International Day of Peace. It was held on the stellar last day of summer, Sept. 21, in our beautiful City of Cranbrook nestled in the breath-taking setting of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. It is difficult to find words to adequately express the multitude of feelings we each experienced as the talented performers and dignitaries express through words, song and dance, what peace means to them. We were honoured to have Caitlin Paulsen of Stages School of Dance perform to the touching and heartfelt piece Instrument of Peace by the Canadian Tenors. This is so beautiful that your heart is full to bursting, never mind the goosebumps. Sherri Green, Stages School of Dance hinted at having a group do this interpretation in 2015. We can hardly wait, and if you are not present you will surely miss one of the most awesome experiences ever! On the other end of the spectrum and equally as awe-inspiring was Jacqueline Henry’s Interpretive Dance to “Song For Canada”. Many found themselves holding their breath, it was so very beautiful. Added to all this was the fantastic Royal Stewart Highland Dancers under direction of Jane Stewart Nixon, a highlight the audience waits to experience each

year; the very talented and colorful Filipino- Canadian Association of East Kootenay Dancers whom we are honored to have yearly; and for their first appearance this year, the high-energy Brazillion Cultural Dance Group from the College of the Rockies International Department. We also salute all the musicians and singers: Rev. Plant, Bag Pipes; ‘KGB” - Dave Grieve, James Buhler, Allan Kimmell; Dean Smith; Amanda Lynn Bott; Tom Bungay; Rob Bott; Dave Prinn; Nashville Hall of Famer, Mr. Ed King; Audrey Stetski; John Dumas — all of these so talented people had chosen music and words that really spoke to peace, unity, and love. As the approximately 200 International Flags of the World gently swayed from tree to tree, the pink hats that the children made wove through the crowd,

and the Cranbrook Arts Council’s “Peace Pinwheels” turned in the gentle breeze, all of the musicians led the audience in the grand finale singing “Last Night I had the Strangest Dream” and “We Shall Overcome”. The Committee for Cranbrook Celebration for Peace Society wishes to extend a very sincere and humble ‘thank you’ to all the sponsors and contributors; to all the volunteers and a special thank you to the International Students, especially to all the Entertainers that make this celebration the memorable awesome event that it is. May we all remember this special day and its meaning as we traverse through the coming days, and keep hope in our hearts until we can renew and fill our cups once again next year. See you in Rotary Park Sept. 20, 2015
