National award for local teacher Paul Knipe recognized with Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence, “the Nobel prize for teaching and innovation;”MBSS only high school with 3 recipients
ARN E PE TRYSHEN
A teacher at Mount Baker Secondary School has been recognized with a national award for his years of innovation and excellence in teaching. Last week, Paul Knipe received the news that he had been awarded the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence. “It’s just nice to be recognized and it’s very humbling and just makes me want to continue to do what I do,” Knipe said. “I wanted to be a teacher since I was 12 years old. To me it’s not a job — it’s a life-
PAUL KNIPE style.” He received a letter from the Prime Minister himself last week. This is Knipe’s 33rd year of teaching. He has taught drafting and design, woodwork and
metalwork and worked with students with developmental disabilities. “I’ve also been big on — whatever I’m teaching — of linking the school to the community and getting kids to understand the importance of getting involved in your community and giving back to the community, looking out for people that are in need in the community,” he said. Knipe said that he was taught those traits from his own upbringing.

Jumbo in limbo EAO finds proposed resort not in compliance; environmental certificate expires, construction stops BAR RY CO ULTER
The Oct. 12 deadline has passed, and the forward progress Jumbo Glacier Resort is on hold— at least for the time being. The environmental certificate for the proposed ski resort in the Purcell Mountains west
of Invermere was set to expire on Sunday. And after the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) released their administrative audit last week, which found the Jumbo proponents to be in non-compliance of their commitments, the
certificate will not be renewed pending decision by the Minister of Environment, Mary Polak. Some of the issues in question include streamflow, fish habitat and water quality monitoring.

EXTREME HUNTRESS
Dalke gets in her first hunt TRE VOR CR AWLEY
After proving her marksmanship abilities last week, Nikita Dalke experienced her first hunt in the second episode of Extreme Huntress that aired this past weekend. Warning: Spoilers ahead. The episode is available for viewing on www.extremehuntress.com. Dalke, a Kimberley resident, was the runner up in last week’s target challenge, barely getting beat out by South African Margaret Botha in the accuracy competition. She is currently competing against five other women for the title of Extreme Huntress, which will be decided in a series of challenges that will be aired in 13
NIKITA DALKE weekly episodes. After the opening challenge last week, she got the chance to head out onto the ranch for her first hunt to demonstrate her skill.
Breakfast is ready when you are!
The ladies were split up into two groups—three stayed at the ranch to film a segment where they responded to anti-hunting abuse, while three others completed a morning hunt. The 777 ranch—a 25,000-plus acreage that features over 80 species of current and extinct animals—has a stringent management plan that dictates the what can be harvested, according to Dalke. The three ladies were given a list of specific animals that were available for the hunt based on the ranch’s management plan and Dalke chose a Black Hawaiian sheep out of the selection.

HORSE HIJINKS NEAR HIGHLANDS: Two horses got loose up in Cranbrook’s Pinecrest neighbourhood near Highlands Elementary School on Wednesday afternoon. Area residents gathered together to chase down the four-legged escapees, who wandered into Idlewild Park. The two creatures were eventually bribed with apples and oats and returned to their owners.

Election sign vandalism draws RCMP attention For the Townsman
In several parts of the City of Cranbrook, campaign signs for individuals running for seats on Council or with the School Board are being removed, defaced or otherwise vandalized and this has caught the attention of the RCMP. “We want to remind residents that it is a criminal code offence to remove or alter these official signs,” says Sgt. Jay Wessel of the Cranbrook RCMP detachment. “If you are caught removing or altering these election signs or posters, you may be charged with mischief, which could result in a fine or up to two years in jail.” The charge of mischief is pursuant to Section 430 (4) of the Criminal Code. “Election signage is a significant part of any potential candidates’ campaign,” says
Cranbrook RCMP detachment at 250-4893471 or East Kootenay Crimestoppers at 1-800222-TIPS. You can also Google “Cranbrook Crimestoppers” and leave a web tip. The election is set for Saturday November 15, 2014. Polls are open on Saturday, Nov. 15. from 8 am to 8 pm for City of Cranbrook residents at the Laurie Middle School gymnasium on 2nd Street South. Three advance polls are set for Wednesday, Nov. 5, Thursday, Nov. 6 and Wednesday, Nov. 12, from 8 am to 8 pm at the Senior Citizens’ Centre at 125 17th Avenue South. For more information about the 2014 General Municipal Election in Cranbrook, please visit the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca.

Huntress competition cuts to the chase Continued from page 1 “The ranch makes a pile of management animals that are available and then there’s a pile of trophy animals that we’re allowed as well,” Dalke said. “We were to take a management animal first and then we could go after a trophy animal. “They had a stack of pictures that you could choose from, so I got to pick what animal to go after.” Dalke has never hunted sheep before, but has gone after mountain goats in the East Kootenay region. However, some aspects of the hunt are the same, no matter how unfamiliar the environment is. The ladies began at 5:30 a.m. and headed out in jeeps to specific
areas of the ranch. Though the property covers thousands of acres, there are smaller enclosures in which to hunt. Dalke was driven to a specific enclosure and given a briefing on the geography from one of the judges of the show. “She [drew] a map in the dirt,” said Dalke. “It was just kind of to give me a layout of the area and what it was like, where there was food sources and water sources and what the terrain was like.” After that, she was on her own. “They don’t give you any ideas or hints,” she added. After the briefing, Dalke decided to check out the water source as her first course of ac-
tion. “When we got there, we had to sit down in the bush because there was a really nice whitetail buck just standing there, watching us,” she said. “When he turned around and left, the herd of sheep came up out of the water hole and went right past us at about 40 yards.” The animals headed up into a forested area, and Dalke changed her position to try and cut them off. “I decided to go around the forested area then come up through it, and try to find them,” she added. “I got lucky and they weren’t too far into the forest, but when we came up on them, they were just feeding and had no clue we were there.”

It was a fortuitous break for Dalke, but she was after one specific Black Hawaiian sheep, and needed to confirm it was in the herd. “It wasn’t just a herd of black sheep, there were a few black sheep, there were a couple Corsican rams, a fourhorned sheep,” said Dalke. “So it was a big mixture of different sheep and when they get scared, they all bunch together. “So I got really lucky that they didn’t know we were there, because they just fed and they were relaxed.”
Continued from page 1 “The community is a big part of what education is all about. It’s linking those two together,” he said. Knipe was nominated back in April by fellow teachers Grant Duchscherer and Darryl Taylor. The two worked on the nomination process for over a year, gathering letters of reference and anecdotes from the faculty and students. “They made an an-
nouncement to our staff and myself that they had nominated me and I was humbled and appreciative,” Knipe said. “Then last week I got a letter from the prime minister saying congratulations, you’re one of the recipients of this award. They gave out 35 awards each year across Canada.” Duchscherer said the award is quite an honour. “It’s like the Nobel

having to probably move and try a different setup or try to get closer.” After making her shot, she tracked down the sheep to survey her handiwork. Since there are regulations preventing the meat to cross international boarders, it was locally donated, while she plans to have the sheep skull mounted European-style. It was an older animal with a lot of tumours, with horns that w e re h e av i l y b ro o m e d — m e a n i ng they had broken off in-
stead of flaring out to the sides after making a full curl. “A very cool-looking ram,” said Dalke. “A lot of character in his horns and his face.” Next episode, Dalke will tape her segment where she responds to anti-hunting abuse, while the three who stayed at the ranch during Dalke’s hunt will get their turn. The episode is available for viewing online and people can also send in their votes and support via email for Dalke at www.extremehuntress.com.

The area where the sheep were feeding was thick with underbrush, but Dalke had a small clearing 50 yards ahead for a shot, and needed the Black Hawaiian to walk past it. “I only had one little pocket through all the brush that I could use and luckily, he walked right through there and I was able to get him,” Dalke said. “It was a challenge. If he hadn’t had walked right where I was hoping he would, it would’ve been a lot more difficult. I would’ve ended up

prize for teaching and innovation,” he said. Evan Bueckert and Rod Osiowy were bestowed with the honours in past years. “That makes Cranbrook, or at least Mount Baker, the only high school that’s won three of them. We’re pretty thrilled with that,” Duchscherer said. Duchscherer was in his masters program taking a course on community leadership, with a bend towards educational leaders, from Dr. Carol Freehan when he got the idea to nominate Knipe. As the course progressed, he began to think that the characteristic that were talked about in the course sounded exactly like someone he knew. “I began to think of all the incredible things over the years that he’s done,” Duchscherer said. “And that was just the tip of the iceberg. Once I dug up some of
the dirt over the years, I showed it to Even Bueckert. He looked at it and said this guy is a shoe-in for this award, and the Prime Minister agreed with us.” He said they are all very happy with the results. “He’s a very humble quiet guy,” he said. “Things just get done in the school. He volunteers for everything quietly. He won the award for his work with the adapted technology. What he has created is not only a model in Cranbrook and B.C. but now nationally. It’s a model around the country for what he does with student with disabilities and technology education.” Knipe thanked his wife Cheryl and his two children Taylor and James, as well as the two people who nominated him, Duchscherer and Taylor for the nomination, and everyone else who supported him.

Jumbo in limbo after EAO report sion by the minister goes in their favour. The proposed ski resort is a designated resort municipality, 55 km west of Invermere. Jumbo Glacier is planned to be a yearround skiing facility developed in three phases at an estimated cost of $450 million. Bu the project has long been a source of
CONTINUED from page 1 According to Robyn Duncan of the environmental group Wildsight, which has led opposition to the proposed resort, that decision isn’t expected any time soon. “(The EAO) didn’t issue any type of stopwork order, which we would have liked to have seen,” Duncan said. “It was nonetheless heartening to see they had been in non-compliance with many of the commitments we have been highlighting throughout the summer. “As of October 12th, they are no longer allowed to carry out construction work on the project.” B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) granted the company a five-year environmental certificate in 2004, and renewed it in 2009. It cannot be renewed a second time, unless construction has “substantially started, in the reasonable opinion of the Minister.” “I’ve been told by the EAO compliance officers that they have communicated very clearly to the proponent that they are not allowed to continue on construction — it’s not a formal document in the form of a stop-work order but kind of normal practice after the environmental certificate expires,” Duncan said. The Minister of Environment is now charged with making a decision as to whether or not substantial construction has taken place on this project. Polak was up at Jumbo on the weekend, touring the site, along with EAO compliance officers. The EAO is compiling material to aid in the Minister’s decision.

Duncan said that decision is not expected to come out until the end of November at the earliest. “But it could well be into the new year until we have that decision. But until that time, until they’ve reconciled and come to terms with
that they’re not allowed to do any work that would be considered a substantial start. “What they allowed to do, and have been ordered to do, is work on some of the roads to deal with some of the erosion issues, as well
as pulling out two of the temporary bridges they have installed.” As of press time, representatives of Jumbo Glacier Resort were unavailable for comment.. However, Grant Costello, senior vice-president with Glacier Resorts

Roads paved with good intentions I always enjoy elections. Doesn’t matter if it’s municipal, provincial or federal. And as naive as it may sound, elections are a time where I feel like I can contribute to the democratic process because my vote can make a difference. Go ahead and laugh, but I don’t ever want to fall victim to the cynicism that my vote doesn’t matter. I appreciate elections for the self-reflection aspect — what do I stand for and which candidate or party identifies with that? Provincial and federal elections tend to be a little more exciting because of the scale of the campaigns and the narratives created by each party and candidate. At the provincial and federal level, the electorate is making decisions on candidates who could be potentially be representing Canada on an international stage, or making domestic policy decisions that can affect millions of people. Section 91 and 92 of the Constitution Act divides the separation of powers between the federal and provincial governments, detailing which level is responsible for providing services to the citizenry. However, it’s at the municipal level where grassroots democracy really shines. In Cranbrook, the city collects property tax as one source of municipal funding to pay for things such as Fire and Emergency services, the Cranbrook Public Library, RCMP and Leisure Services. No doubt that funding goes to many places, but there is one other area of funding that always gets a ton of attention during municipal elections, and that is infrastructure. Specifically, the roads and their condition.
In every municipal election, for as long as I can remember — and I grew up in Cranbrook — I hear that the roads will be fixed if so and so gets elected. That is simply not going to happen. This isn’t pessimism or cynicism creeping in —it’s just the reality of the situation. It comes down to the dollars and cents. The city drew $43 million in revenue in the 2013 fiscal year. Of that, $36 million went to city expenses —i.e. water, sewer and solid waste services, protective services and general government services. The $6.6 million reTrevor mainder, simply explained, Crawley went into paying down the net debt. That’s the layman’s explanation, and when it comes to financial matters, that’s all I can provide. According to the city, the dollar amount spent on the Capital Roads program last year was $2,620,196. That includes general, water, and sewer fund capital expenses relating to roads and sidewalks, including storm sewers, water mains and sewer main rehab. This past year, city council approved a Capital Roads Program budget of $3,048,512. That’s the dollar amount, straight from the horses’s mouth. Don’t mistake this as a defence of the current council regarding their decisions around the road program. Rather, I want to establish a foundation of facts. Those budget numbers are what the city has done this past year, and what they’ve allotted for 2014. The question now becomes whether that’s too much, too little, or if they can be stretched further for more additional rehabilitation work. I don’t know, I’m not an road engineer. But we, as a community, need to have a serious conversation about infrastructure
spending, which hopefully grows into a larger discussion about municipal fiscal priorities. I hear a lot of talk about candidates who want to fix the roads, but nothing about what kind of numbers it will take to do it. How much, annually, should we dedicate to road rehabilitation? Should we raise property taxes to fix the roads? Sure, there will be more money in municipal coffers, but there will be angry homeowners who don’t want to part with their hard-earned money. Is there other funding out there that the city can access — provincial or federal grants that can be used for infrastructure projects? Enough about roads. How about business? Growing business and the local economy is another hot topic on the minds of potential mayoral and council candidates. Again, I haven’t heard any specifics from candidates regarding what they’d do if they get elected. The devil may be in the details, but the details matter. There will be two forums where the public can meet the candidates and hear their ideas for the next four years of Cranbrook’s future. • The Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce All Candidates Forum on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at the Heritage Inn, running from 7-8:45 p.m. • The JCI Kootenay All Candidates Forum on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at the Key City Theatre, starting at 6 p.m. In a time where municipalities are getting squeezed for funding and facing increased costs for everything, it’s important to know where candidates stand and what their fiscal priorities are. So get researching — the election is only a month away.

Here’s a brief comment on my work on another Pillar — the Economy: • Active recruitment of physicians creating an environment for people to relocate here; • Attend Downtown Business Association, and Chamber meetings to stay informed on issues and ideas; attended webinar on economic recovery after a storm event; • Actively pursuing a greenhouse industry for a secure, local food source, and employment opportunities; • Supported the downtown business revitalization tax exemption bylaw; • Support local Arts & Cultural events, which contributed $50 billion to the Canadian GDP in 2009; • Support Rails to Trails/Gran Fondo/ Orienteering events, and Trans Canada Trails, which boost our local economy. Sports contributed $4.8 billion to the Canadian GDP in 2009; This Council has created an ‘open for business’ climate demonstrated through: • Business licenses issued in 2013 = 69; 2014 = 98; • Building permits. Total new construction in 2013 = $8,569,207; in 2014 =
$27,941,888; • Single family dwellings real estate sales in 2013 = 132; in 2014 = 177 (increase of 34 per cent). I was a past member of Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook. “CLC provides grassroots leadership and an inclusive process, with a voice for all community members, to ensure that our community grows and develops in a way that incorporates an environmental ethic, offers a range of housing and transportation choices, encourages a vibrant and cultural life and supports sustainable, meaningful employment and business opportunities.” It’s important to deal with facts. People are welcome to phone me at 250-489-4412 for clarification on any matter. Sharon Cross, Councillor City of Cranbrook
Response to Fletcher
Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7). Tom Fletcher took a snide swipe at local politicians and municipal councils that declared their jurisdictions to be nuclear weapons-free zones. “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” he asks. Fletcher should know better than to denigrate the power of grassroots democracy and nowhere is it more powerful than at the local level. This was unquestionably demonstrated in New Zealand where, in the early 1980s, a dictatorial conservative Prime Minister named Rob Muldoon
ignored the overwhelming public opinion that New Zealand should not host nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed foreign warships. Ignoring the ever-louder public protest, Muldoon continued to invite U.S. warships to visit New Zealand harbours and used his majority National government to run rough-shod over the will of the people. Kiwis turned to their local governments to give effect to their anti-nuclear principles. Municipality after municipality voted to become nuclear free and they posted signs on their municipal boundaries. Labour Party leader David Lange was no fool. He read the writing on the signs and promised that if his party became the government, he would ban all nuclear-equipped warships from New Zealand waters. In 1984 Labour swept into power in a landslide and followed through on Lange’s promise. New Zealand is a small peaceful country in the South Pacific but Kiwis stood up against the superpower bully tactics of Ronald Reagan and the U.S. military. New Zealand took a beating economically but stood by its principle of opposing Cold War super-power nuclear alliances. To this day New Zealand proudly remains nuclear-free and an example to the world. The strategy may have been less successful in B.C. but there is nothing stupid about the effort nor the intent of the passionate British Columbians who tried. Chris Conway Invermere
Towards recognizing a Palestinian state
I
t’s a slow process, this business of getting recognised as an independent state, but the Palestinians are making progress. In September of last year, Mahmoud Abbas, the long-overdue-for-an-election president of the Palestinian National Authority, was given permission to sit in the “beige chair”, the one that is reserved for heads of state waiting to go to the podium and address the UN General Assembly. And now, another Great Leap Forward. On Monday, the British Parliament voted by 274 to 12 to recognize Palestine as a state. It was a private member’s bill, however, and ministers in Prime Minister David Cameron’s cabinet were ordered to abstain. The bill cannot compel Cameron to actually recognize Palestine, a decision which the British Government will only take “at a moment of our choosing and when it can best help bring about peace.” More hot air and empty symbolism, then, or so it would seem. But the parliamentary vote is better seen as a very large straw in the wind. After half a century when Israel could count on reflexive support from the United States, Canada and the big Western European countries no matter what it did, public opinion in the European Union is shifting. Until recently, the only EU members that recognised the State of Palestine were ex-Soviet satellites in Eastern Europe that had done so when they were Communist-ruled. But early this month the newly elected Swedish government declared that it would recognise Palestine, and other parliamentary votes on the question are coming up in Ireland, Denmark, Finland and, most importantly, France. They will probably all vote yes. As Matthew Gould, UK ambassador to Israel, said
Thursday, OCTOber 16, 2014
on Israeli radio after the vote in London: “I am concerned in the long run about the shift in public opinion in the UK and beyond towards Israel. Israel lost support after this summer’s conflict (in Gaza), and after the series of announcements on (expanding Israeli) settlements (in the West Bank). This parliamentary vote is a sign of the way the wind is blowing.” Official Israel is busily pretending that this does not matter, but it does, in two ways. One is the diplomatic reality Gwynne that soon nothing may stand between Palestine Dyer and full membership of the UN except a lone, naked US veto in the United Nations Security Council, which may have to be repeated on an annual basis. That will be one consequence of the way the wind is blowing, but much graver for Israel is the reason why it is blowing in that direction: patience with Israeli Prime Minster Binyamin Netanyahu’s perpetual delaying tactics is close to exhausted in most Western electorates. Among the young it has already run out completely. Most people in Israel believe that Netanyahu has absolutely no intention of allowing the emergence of a genuinely independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the one-fifth of colonial Palestine that was not already incorporated into Israel at the end of the 1948 war. Indeed, much of his electoral support comes from Israelis who trust him to prevent such an outcome. Netanyahu can never state his purpose openly, of course, because that would alienate Israel’s supporters abroad, who generally believe that peace can only be achieved by the “two-state solution” that both sides signed up to 22 years ago in the
Oslo Accords. Those supporters used to be willing to turn a blind eye to his actions so long as he gave lip-service to the Oslo goals – but that faith is now running on fumes in the British House of Commons. Sir Richard Ottaway, the chair of the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and a lifelong supporter of Israel, told the House: “Looking back over the past twenty years, I realise now Israel has been slowly drifting away from world public opinion. The annexation of the 950 acres of the West Bank just a few months ago has outraged me more than anything else in my political life. It has made me look a fool and that is something I deeply resent.” The erosion of support for Israel has been slower in the U.S., where open criticism of Israeli actions in the media is rare and Congress is still (in the crude phrase of Washington insiders) “Israeli-occupied territory.” But it is happening even there — and among the younger generation of Americans the decline has been very steep. In a Gallup poll conducted last July, in the midst of the most recent Gaza war, more than half of Americans over the age of 50 said that Israel’s actions (which eventually killed over 2,000 Palestinians) were justified. Just a quarter of those between 18 and 29 years old agreed. In both cases these generations will probably stick to their convictions all of their lives — but generational turnover will ensure that the opinions of the younger group ultimately prevail. It was presumably Israel’s actions and positions over the past ten years that shaped the opinions of the younger Americans. Another ten years like that, and even the U.S. may have a majority that wants to recognize Palestine. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Here comes the fighter Hirscher crowned at World Karate & Kickboxing Championships in Dublin Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Tyson Hirscher may have travelled nearly 7,000 kilometres for one fight, but was it ever worth it. The 18-year-old Cranbrook native travelled 6,808 km to Dublin, Ireland for the World Karate and Kickboxing Commission (WKC) World Championships Oct. 4 to 9, claiming gold by unanimous decision in the 16- to 17-year-old, 70-kilogram division. “[The referee] raised my hand and everyone was cheering,” Hirscher said with a big grin Wednesday afternoon. “It was pretty good.” The world-stage victory pushed Hirscher’s record to 8-1 -- including an undefeated run in 2014 -- an impressive accomplishment considering how far he has come in such a short time. After losing his first competitive match, Hirscher has rung off
eight consecutive wins. The young fighter has been honing his skills for four years and remembers a time not so long ago where fighting on the local stage was an immense challenge. “I went to a tournament in Fernie, it was the provincial try-out for WKC in 2012,” Hirscher recalled. “I wasn’t nearly good enough to go to Ottawa [for the WKC Canadian Championships] or the worlds. “It was a little threeyear journey after that.” Hirscher knew he had a long road ahead of him and a lot of improvements to make if he were to progress to the national stage. Fighting locally through the Kootenays and across the Alberta border in Calgary, Hirscher battled to get as much experience as he could handle. That eventually led him to an appearance at the WKC Canadian Championships in
2013, where he placed third in his division. “All the competitors I fought [at the national championships in 2013], they were going to worlds and winning medals,” Hirscher said. “I said, ‘Hey, I could probably do this.’” Hirscher didn’t compete at the 2013 WKC World Championships, but once 2014 rolled around, from day one, the plan was for the peppy 18-year-old to make his way to Dublin for the season finale in October. Hirscher’s adventure took him through Williams Lake, B.C., the host of the 2014 WKC B.C. Provincial Championships in March. From there, he qualified for the 2014 WKC Canadian Championships, hosted by Ottawa in May. The top four fighters in each division at the national championships, one of which was Hirscher, moved on to the 2014
WKC World Championships in Dublin. While most fighters have to work their way through a number of opponents before getting a shot at a medal, Hirscher only had to defeat one foe -- Spencer Cunningham, another Canadian -- before being crowned world champion. “We scared off all the other Canadians that qualified,” Hirscher said. “There were two or three other Canadians that qualified [for the world championships] but they knew they weren’t getting a medal if we were there.” Another competitor from Ireland was slated to fight, but withdrew due to an injury sustained playing rugby. That left Hirscher and Cunningham to duke it out for world supremacy. The two Canucks went head-to-head in a pair of two-minute rounds with gold on the

He stopped by The Daily Townsman office Oct. 15 to share his story. line. Hirscher edged Cunningham to narrowly win the first round before aggressively taking control in the final round. “He started getting more tired,” Hirscher said. “I just kept pushing the pace. He would throw a couple punches and a kick, then he would turtle up. “I just kept hitting him and he kept backing up.” After the final bell, with both fighters at his side, the referee raised Hirscher’s hand and announced him as champion, by unanimous decision. Hirscher’s father, Klaus, is his corner man. He has been riding shot-
gun with his son since the journey began at that first provincial tournament in Fernie. “You’re on top of the world. You’re just as excited as he is,” Klaus said Wednesday afternoon. “He’s worked hard for it. Like he said, It’s the end of a three-year trip. The next trip will be a lot shorter, because we’ve been there.” While the victory brings this journey to a close, it also marks the beginning of a new adventure for Hirscher. When he gets back into the arena next, he will be a full-fledged adult fighter. Hirscher plans to compete on the WKC circuit once again in
2015, moving up to the 18- to 34-year-old, 90-kg division. If the year goes as planned, he will find himself in Orlando, Fla. for the 2015 WKC World Championships. Until then, he plans to take a month off to rest before getting back into the gym and preparing for his next journey. When he isn’t in the gym, Hirscher works with the Cranbrook bantam ‘B’ boys hockey team as a dryland training coach. Hirscher wished to thank all of the sponsors who helped get him to the WKC World Championships, in addition to Kru Joel Huncar, master Simon Wachon and his father, Klaus.
Royal flush
Kansas City sweeps Baltimore; advances to World Series Dave Skre tta ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With more dominant defence, an opportunistic offence that plated two runs in the first inning and a bullpen that shut down the Baltimore Orioles once again, Greg Holland and the Kansas City Royals
wrapped up a sweep of the AL Championship Series with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday. Next stop: the Royals’ first World Series since 1985, when they last made the playoffs. Kansas City hosts the first two games beginning Tuesday against the winner of the NLCS
between the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals. Jason Vargas combined with three relievers on a four-hitter, with Holland earning his fourth save of the ALCS. It was the first time the AL East champion Orioles have been swept in 21 post-season series.
Lorenzo Cain named ALCS MVP Dave Skre tta ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lorenzo Cain has been selected MVP of the AL Championship Series after helping the Kansas City Royals to a four-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles with a 2-1 victory Wednesday. The Royals are headed back to the World Se-
ries for the first time since beating the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games in 1985, the last time Kansas City even reached the playoffs. Along with making a series of splendid defensive plays in centre field, Cain had eight hits in the series, matching the franchise record for an ALCS set by Willie Wil-
son in 1985 against Toronto. Cain matched a Royals record with four hits in Game 2 Saturday, and scored Kansas City’s first run in Game 3 Tuesday night. He also laid down a key sacrifice bunt -- the first of his career -- that helped the Royals take a 2-0 lead in the first inning Wednesday.

Divisional dates on tap for Dynamiters Nitros travel to Golden Friday; host Creston Valley Thunder Cats Saturday son-opening sixgame winning streak when the two squads last met in Golden Oct. 4. Following Friday’s road contest, the Dynamiters return home Saturday to host the Creston Valley Thunder Cats (4-5-0-1). “All your divisional games are extremely crucial,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks Wednesday afternoon. “It’s hard to get the guys to bear down early in the year, but it’s a lot nicer when you can get your wins early in the year and maybe get a little rest at the end of the year if you happen to get a playoff spot sewn up.”

On the heels of two blow-out wins, the Kimberley Dynamiters face a pair of all-important Eddie Mountain divisional tilts this weekend. Friday night, the Nitros travel to Golden for a rematch with the Rockets (7-4-0-1). Fuelled by a stellar performance from goaltender Magnus Viberg, the Rockets put an end to the Dynamiters sea-

their heels. Not a surprise, the Osoyoos Coyotes are the only team with more double-digit producers this early in the season, with nine. The Princeton Posse and Golden Rockets are the only other clubs that can boast balanced scoring similar to that of the Nitros. “Very rarely do you have this opportunity [as a coach],” Bancks said. “The balance is difficult. We’d like to stick with what we’re doing. We have four lines that can score…We don’t have a first line and we don’t have a fourth line. We have four lines that can play. “It’s going to be tough.

The Dynamiters are the second highest-scoring club in the KIJHL heading into the weekend, with 53 goals in the bank through 10 games. Only the Osoyoos Coyotes, with 70 goals, have scored more than the Nitros.

With eight wins in the books, Bancks has benefitted from six different players scoring the big goal when it matters most. Only Jordan Roy and Coy Prevost have tallied multiple game-winning markers.

If the Dynamiters are to catch the Fernie Ghostriders (8-1-0-1) atop the Eddie Mountain Division standings, continued contribution throughout the lineup is going to be what gets them there. For now, the

Goonery like Gillies’ must end Trevor Gillies has been around the game of hockey for a long time. How long? Well, his major junior career began during the 199697 Ontario Hockey League season with the North Bay Centennials. The native of Cambridge, Ont. made his professional debut during the 1999-00 season when he suited up in 53 games with the ECHL’s Mississippi Sea Wolves, before moving up the ranks with the AHL’s Lowell Lock Monsters. After toiling in minor pro for nearly a decade, not including a solo cup of coffee with the Anaheim Ducks in 2005-06, Gillies made the jump to the NHL with the New York Islanders during the 2009-10 season, getting into 14 games. Since then, he’s dressed for a grand total of 57 NHL games, 390 AHL games and 222 ECHL games spread between 17 different professional clubs in North America, while also spending two seasons in Europe. If you don’t know who Trevor Gillies is, you are not missing out on anyone of significance. Now, you’re probably thinking, “If Trevor Gillies isn’t of any significance, why is Taylor wasting his precious Thursday col-
umn space on Trevor Gillies?” The 6-foot-3 pugilist has amassed 261 PIMs in 57 NHL games. The 236-pound thug has been tagged for 1,575 PIMs in 390 AHL games. It’s not that I have an issue with roughand-tumble hockey. In fact, I love the physical asTaylor pect of the GrowRocca game. ing up in Calgary, I distinctly remember the thrill of watching the Calgary Hitmen in the mid- to late-1990s because it seemed like a rougher, rawer brand of hockey than that of the NHL’s Calgary Flames. What I have issue with is the actions Gillies took Oct. 10 during AHL action between the Adirondack Flames (Calgary Flames affiliate) and Rochester Americans (Buffalo Sabres affiliate). To give you the quick-hit recount of events, a scuffle broke out, which eventually led to the 6-foot-3, 236-pound Gillies using two hands to smash the head of 196pound rookie William Carrier off the ice. Important note: Carrier was an unwilling combatant. Simple in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thankfully, his bucket was still on his head. Don’t believe me? Pull up
YouTube and search “Trevor Gillies Adirondack Flames” for the video evidence. Physicality has a place within hockey. Sure, fighting seems to be slowly going the way of the dodo. But this thuggish assault never had any place within the game. It didn’t in the 1930s. It didn’t in the 1960s. I wasn’t around during the days of Philadelphia’s Broadstreet Bullies…so I can’t speak to them. But it didn’t in the 1990s and nothing has changed more than 20 years later. So why did the AHL see fit to only slap Gillies with a 12-game suspension? Carrier skated off under his own power and by all accounts has been fine since. It doesn’t change the fact Gillies assaulted another human being. If Trevor Gillies walked up to William Carrier on the sidewalk right here on the streets of Cranbrook, and bounced the kid’s head off the pavement, I don’t think the police would slap him on the wrist with a fine. I imagine he would be taken into custody and charged with assault. The AHL got it wrong here. Gillies has a long track record of violating the law throughout professional hockey. If the leagues don’t figure it out, it’s time teams around North America wake up and send Trevor Gillies’ career the way of the dodo.

2016 NHL all-star game headed to Nashville C anadian Press
Nashville will host the NHL all-star game for the first time in 2016, sources told The Canadian Press on Wednesday. A formal announcement is expected to be made at a news conference Friday at Bridgestone Arena. Commissioner Gary Bettman and local politicians will be in attendance. Bettman said in April 2012 during a trip to Nashville that Music City will host an all-star game. But the commissioner said then he couldn’t give a date with the event needing “stars to line up.” Nashville hosted the Women’s Final Four in April and is a finalist to host again between 2017 and 2020 at Bridgestone Arena, home of the Predators since their inaugural season in 1998-99. The arena also is scheduled to host the Southeastern Conference men’s basketball tournament nine of the next 10 years starting in March. A three-time all-star,
Predators captain Shea Weber said the game is a lot of fun. Weber said it will be very exciting for Nashville and a nice reward for the Predators’ fans. “They are the best fans in the league,” Weber said after practice Wednesday. “For it to come to a city here where they are going to enjoy it, the festivities are great. The cities I have been to in the past have done a great job of putting in other things for families and people to do. There’s so much for people to do here, it’s a great venue and I think people are going to enjoy it.” The Predators hosted the NHL’s entry draft in 2003 and have been on a short list to host the mid-season showcase. But Nashville needed a bigger downtown convention centre to host all the festivities connected with the all-star game. The Music City Center opened in May 2013. This is the latest event to be announced by the National Hockey
League as it plans out its showcase stops over the next few years. The Winter Classic will take place at Nationals Park in Washington on Jan. 1, and later that month Columbus’s Nationwide Arena will hold the 2015 all-star game. June’s draft will be at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla., and the 2016 event will be at First Niagara Center in Buffalo, N.Y. “We put on more events than ever before,” Bettman said recently while in Toronto. “We create more content, the players are so tremendously accessible. ... There’s just more and more and more because we’re bigger and bigger and bigger.” With the Maple Leafs set to celebrate their 100-year anniversary during the 2016-’17 campaign, Toronto has been linked to the return of the World Cup of Hockey, Winter Classic, all-star game and the draft. It’s not clear how many of those events might be held in the city that season.

Armed suspect Peter DeGroot is dead after what RCMP describe as an “interaction” with an emergency response team in a cabin near Slocan on Monday afternoon, Oct. 13. The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC is now investigating the incident. The IIO confirmed in an online statement that DeGroot “sustained a gunshot injury during an interaction…In addition, a firearm was found at the scene.” The BC Coroners Service confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that they are investigating DeGroot’s death and that he died following a police shooting after an encounter with two members of the ERT team at approximately 1:45 p.m. on October 13. He was declared deceased at the scene. The IIO investigation was in its early stages as of press time Tuesday and investigators are expected to be in the area most of the week. IIO resources include a team director, three investigators and a forensic specialist. In additions to this, the IIO will provide dedicated services to assist the family of the deceased affected person. Now that the IIO are investigating, the RCMP are prohibited from
making any public statements about the case. After the incident, relative Theodore DeGroot contacted the Star and offered more details about the suspect. “I grew up with Peter (in Orillia, Ont.). He was an intelligent, friendly, loyal person. He was funny, quick to laugh, and he always saw positive things in bad situations. This is not sentimentality, I’m describing the person we wish to remember. Peter was a normal, healthy young man when we left high school. “Peter suffered some form of aneurysm approximately 20 years ago. After that, his mental state began to deteriorate. As he visited over the years, he began to act more agitated when we talked. Peter began verbally lashing out against specific people. When he developed a paranoid obsession with me, I began receiving threats, and disturbing communications. I reported them to the (Ontario Provincial Police) and the RCMP in BC. I hoped he would get help, but heard nothing further. “In frustration, I told an OPP officer, if Peter did not receive treatment, I literally expected to turn on the television and find him in the sort of situation which happened in Slocan. It was not a flippant remark,

PETER DEGROOT but a serious expression of my deep concern for Peter’s safety.” The incident began on Thursday when Slocan Lake RCMP responded to a dispute between two individuals on Slocan West Road near Gravel Pit Road. While on scene, DeGroot allegedly fired upon police with a rifle before retreating into the surrounding forest. No members of the public nor RCMP officers were injured. Police searched for DeGroot, 45, for five days. They considered the suspect to be armed and dangerous and locked down the area. Residents were told to stay inside their homes with doors locked. They also limited access to the village. The RCMP initially used Gravel Pit Road as a staging area as they set up a command post with more than 25 members including a containment team dressed
in camouflage. Plainclothes police wore their bullet proof vests and an ambulance was on stand-by along with more than 10 marked and unmarked vehicles. An RCMP helicopter out of Kelowna was in the area. The RCMP also interviewed residents. While residents weren’t allowed to enter the area, many parked their vehicles at pullouts north of town and made the short walk through the forest to their homes as dusk fell on Thursday evening. The local school was locked down with students, teachers and a few parents inside while the RCMP responded to the call. By Friday RCMP had set up a 10 by 10 hectare containment area on the west side of the river where they concentrated their search efforts. Homes in that area were evacuated. Additional resources including air support, the Southeast District emergency response team, crisis negotiator, police dogs and tactical armoured vehicle were deployed to the scene on Thursday and Friday. Both W.E. Graham and Winlaw schools were closed on Friday. Two members of the emergency response team team were involved in the altercation which led to DeGroot’s death. The IIO has not estimated how long it will take to complete their investigation.

Permits approved for Site C hydro dam To m F l e tc h e r Black Press
VICTORIA – Both the federal and provincial governments have issued environmental assessment certificates for BC Hydro’s Site C dam, the proposed third hydroelectric project on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. The approvals include dozens of legally binding conditions, including a $20 million farmland enhancement fund to offset river bottom land that would be flooded, and compensation for local aboriginal groups whose historic treaty rights to hunting, fishing and trapping would be affected. Cost of the project, last estimated by BC Hydro at $7.9 billion, will factor into a final decision by the B.C. cabinet whether to go ahead with the dam. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has indicated he expects the final investment decision to be
made by the end of 2014, and if it’s approved, work would begin immediately. Among the 77 B.C. conditions is an aboriginal business participation strategy to share the estimated 10,000 person-years of construction work the dam project would generate. Seven aboriginal communities affected by the proposal have been offered cash and Crown land to compensate for land lost by construction of the dam. All are signatories to Treaty 8, which ensures their rights to hunt, trap and fish as they did before the treaty was signed in 1899. Officials say five of the seven are currently in negotiations. Situated near Fort St. John and downstream of the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams, Site C’s 1,050-metre-long earthfill dam would create a reservoir 83 km long and two to three

Wide world
A Shangri-la nestled in the Himalayas T Diane Manson of Mountain City Travel talks of the dreamy wonders of Bhutan
he tiny kingdom of Bhutan, landlocked in the Himalayas between India and China, is one of the most mysterious places you will ever visit, and yet far and away one of the most special. With a population of only 750,000, Bhutan famously measures its productivity not in Gross Domestic Product but in Gross National Happiness. These are a people encouraged to find the balance in their lives between the material and the spiritual, and it shows. They’re quick to laugh and go out of their way to welcome visitors. The number of tourists allowed into Bhutan is limited yearly in order to preserve national culture and resources. As a result, unless you’re from India, you’ll be required to pay a daily tourist tariff ranging from US $200–$290 depending on the time of year and how many
people you’re travelling with. The amount may seem steep at first, but it includes accommodation in a three-star hotel, meals, all transportation within the country, (excluding flights), and a local guide for the duration of your trip. (The itinerary is up to you.) It’s an unconventional tourism model that strangely enhances the experience of coming here. Most people will begin a visit to Bhutan in its largest city, Thimphu. It’s a place that’s culturally rich at any time of year, but if you manage to make it here during one of the country’s national festivals, you’ll be exceptionally fortunate. Tshechu in October is Bhutan’s largest festival and the country’s loudest statement about who they are culturally and historically. Local monks perform tradi-
For all your
The Paro Taktsang monastery tional masked dances, and the joyous atmosphere is positively infectious. Also when in Thimphu, or even in the smaller city of Paro, be sure to make your way
to one of the open markets for a real glimpse at daily Bhutanese life. You may not fancy yourself a photographer, but the brilliant visual spectrum of food and spices will make you believe
you are. The colours are surprising and fantastic. Bhutan’s most famous landmark is the Paro Taktsang monastery. Also known as the “Tiger’s Nest,” this stunning structure north of
Paro is built into the rock face of a cliff, about 900 metres (3,000 feet) above the valley floor. The journey there is a bit of a challenge and will require you to have acclimatized to the alti-

tude, and the lookout itself feels terribly perilous. Don’t let that stop you: It is a day you will remember forever. Those looking for nature will get an exceptional taste of it in Bhutan. The largest national park is Wangchuck Centennial and stretches over 4,914 s q u a re kms (1,897 square miles) — over ten per cent of the area of the entire country. Here you’ll find Bengal tigers, snow leopards, wolves, and bears, not to mention some of the most spectacular views you’ll ever see on any trip anywhere. Bhutan is a dreamy place, so let the dream-makers at Mountain City Travel help you get there — and anywhere else you could possibly want to go. Really. Anywhere.

Peggy Borlé Client Relationship Officer, Business Development Bank of Canada, Cranbrook BC Small Business Week – Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce Luncheon Oct 22/14
“Back to basics. Re-energize your business” In 1987, Peggy Borlé moved to the Columbia Valley from Saskatoon to enjoy the outdoor recreational lifestyle of the Kootenays. Her passion for skiing, water skiing, golfing and tourism is what brought her to the area. “Tourism was booming, then. The 1988 Calgary Olympics frenzie was happening, ski hills were thriving, new golf courses and hotels/resorts were being built all throughout the Kootenays. We are world renown for our fishing and friendliness! We have everything right out our backdoor. Who wouldn’t want to live here?” Peggy Borlé brings over 35 years in Adventure Tourism & Hospitality Management and blends the best of both worlds, “work hard, play harder”. She has 3 adult children, and as a family they all enjoy the recreational lifestyle the mountains have to offer. All three children also work in the Tourism & Hospitality Industry. “I am hoping to keep the passion of the industry going!” What happened to our thriving tourism economy? “I definitely have seen a steady decline in the tourism dollars over the years”. We used to be the best kept secret. Now we ask, “How do we fill our hotel rooms, our seats in the restaurant and sell our services and wares to a heavily competitive market world? What do we need to do to change that?” Three years ago, Peggy changed direction and began her studies in the Financial Services Industry. “The economy is tougher now. I needed to know how to make informed decisions about my financial well- being, taking a “holistic” approach to money matters. I want to leave a legacy for generations to come and I needed to know how. So, back to the basics I went, back to the classroom to re-build myself.” Upon completing her training in the spring, she accepted the position of the Client Relationship Officer for BDC (Cranbrook). During her spare time she coaches and educates families and individuals on financial strategies and solutions, bringing the “holistic” approach to money matters. Peggy has been coaching, public speaking and instructing since the age of 5. She enjoys mentoring young entrepreneurs and envisions rekindling a financially healthy economy in the valley.

Cookie campaign nets $15,680 for hospital For the Townsman
Tim Hortons brought more smiles to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital recently with its annual Smile Cookie campaign. For one week in September, Tim Hortons (two Cranbrook locations), the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary and East Kootenay Foundation for Health were busy selling smile cookies with a goal of raising $15,000 to purchase a patient transfer glidescope for the hospital’s High Acuity Response Team (HART). A glidescope video laryngoscope provides consistently clear airway view of routine and difficult airways, enabling quick intubation. The HART program operates in the East Kootenay Regional Hospital emergency department. By the end of Smile Cookie week 15,680 cookies were purchased by Tim Hortons Guests, visitors and patients at the hospital, and from donors who shared their cookie smiles with other charities in the community. Charities benefitting from the smile cookie generosity
For the Townsman
Tim Hortons managers (Scott Seitz & Denis Demers) and assistant managers (Erica Seitz and Maricris Monsales) drop by the regional hospital to present a cheque of $15,680 to members of the Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary and representatives from East Kootenay Foundation for Health include the Cranbrook Society for Community Living, Cranbrook Boys & Girls Club, Cranbrook Food Bank, Cranbrook Kimberley Hospice Society, Dr FW Green Home & Daybreak Program, EKRH Psychiatry Unit and
the Salvation Army. “The Smile Cookie Campaign certainly brings out the spirit of giving in our community,” said Matt Gareau, Tim Hortons Restaurant Owner in Cranbrook. “We are so very grate-
ful to all those who support Tim Hortons, the CHCA and EKFH because it really is the people that makes this campaign a success.” With this last campaign complete, Tim Hortons Restaurant owners and
guests in Cranbrook have generously donated more than $80,000 in support for the East Kootenay Regional Hospital over the past eight years. The Cranbrook Health Care Auxiliary and East Koo-

It has been some time since I took pen in paw. However let me assure you gentle reader, my lack of production was neither due to a deficiency of ambition or a shortage of things to write about. The summer that just was, was not only tumultuous, it was magical. And I mean that in the most literal of terms. Perhaps I should explain something here to my sadly sense deprived human-type friends. There is magic in the world, you just can’t detect it. Or at least, your ability to has atrophied to the point where it is all but nonexistent. By mankind’s count, there are 5 senses, but in reality, many of the creatures with whom you share this earth, have 6 or more. Take birds for example. Some species have iron containing structures in their beaks that can detect the Earth’s magnetic field. This gives them an acute sense of spatial orientation, which in turn allows them to gauge their geographic position. Yup, birds – especially pigeons – have a built in GPS. Dolphins, porpoises and bats use the sound of their own voices to echolocate and build a three dimensional visual representation of their surroundings. They use sound to see! A shark and a platypus seem to be two very different critters but they both share the ability to detect electrical fields. This allows them to find their prey by sensing the electrical charges their dinner emits when it contracts its muscles and attempts to swim away. Amazing, I know. Which brings me back to dogs and our sixth sense: the ability to detect the presence of magic. Now I know that many of you bipeds don’t believe that such a thing even exists and I can understand the difficulty you have trying to grasp the concept. Regardless, I will do my best to explain the phenomena, even though it is not unlike trying to describe the colour green to someone who has not been blessed with the gift of sight. Magic is, for all intents and purposes, comparable to spontaneous massings of energy, that when they occur, have the potential to alter the mundane in both glorious and terrible ways. Magic has no agenda except to be magical. We dogs possess a magic sensor in the tip of our tail. (Some thing for all you tail-bobbing fanatics to think about.) By simply moving this amazing appendage back and forth, or wagging if you will, we are able to locate these energy fields of inspiration. A slow, wide waving is best for the magic of bliss, a vigorous wag from the shoulders back for joy, and quick and short arched over the back for energy of the aggressive kind. When the magic is dark and fear inducing we keep the sensor still or even tuck it between our legs to try and diminish reception. This past summer was a real tail wagger to be sure. It positively oozed magic. Occasionally, I would detected it at home but it occurred most often on our outdoor adventures. The Bugaboos, the Tanglefoot, Estella ridge, Dibble Glacier, every place we went was electric with the stuff. It was so intense, even my human picked up on it a couple times. Lacking a tail he would wave his camera around until eventually it pointed in the general direction of the magic. It was a clumsy method but it seems to work for him. Although, I’m not sure he even knew what it is he was trying to detect. Humans, with their superior cognitive abilities, opposable thumbs, and faith in the scientific method, often limit what they allow themselves to believe. For example, this summer on a hike into Silver Basin, my tail picked up the miraculous vibe that can only be given off by mythical entities. With my tail going crazy, I zipped across the alpine, barking like a crazy dog, towards the source of the magic. When I returned moments later, my man just stood there, slack-jawed, as I introduced him to the wood nymphs I had just found. However, even though they were standing there right in front of him, I could tell he refused to recognize them for what they were. You see, he doesn’t believe in wood nymphs. Sometimes I think that even if you humans had a tail, you still wouldn’t get it. After all, there are none so blind as those who will not see.

everyone is different, our bodies are different shapes and sizes, are activity levels are so different, and this affect how much water we should drink. As a general guide we should be drinking half our body weight in ounces, everyday. Clearly there are going to be times we need to increase the amount of water even more. In hot or humid temperatures, high altitudes (above 8,200 feet), during exercise, when you are sick (fever, diarrhea, vomiting), during bladder or urinary tract infections, when pregnant or breast feeding, and after increased alcohol intake. What kind of water should we be drinking? There are so many types of water such as, tap,
Amanda Greenthumb bottled, filtered, distilled, and alkaline ionized water. Not everyone has access to the best sources because of cost and availability, so do the best you can. Remember it is more important to drink water, than to have the perfect source. Tap Water: most readily available, sometimes might not be the safest option. Some
cites have great purification systems, while others leave traces of chlorination by-products, lead, and sometimes bacteria. Research your city’s water purification system to see if additional home purification is needed. Water Filters: help to remove contaminants when environmental toxins pose a threat, it is important to know which contaminants are present in your water, to choose the right filter. Distillation: boiling the water to remove toxins and impurities, however some believe the naturally occurring minerals in non-distilled water have health benefits. Bottled Water: very popular, however there are growing concerns
about chemicals from the plastic seeping into the water, as well as the environmental effects all these plastic bottles have. Water Ionizers: gaining more recognition to create alkaline ionized water through electrolysis, this may have certain health benefits.

Punk legends DOA to rock Cranbrook
Joe Keithley shares his never-saydie spirit with the East Kootenay Ferdy Bell and For the Townsman
D
OA (“Dead On Arrival”) are Canada’s leading punk-rock export to the world, having stayed true to their abrasive guns since 1978 under the command of Burnaby’s Joe Keithley ( known by his punk moniker of “Joey Sh**head”). DOA are credited with founding the Canadian branch of hardcore punk, alongside of other historic first-generation punk bands like Black Flag, the Germs, and the Dead Kennedys. Keithley & Co. are making their grand return to the East Kootenay with a live performance at the legendary Byng Roadhouse (along with local bands Elk Hunt and Bonecrusher & Friends, Tuesday Oct. 28. “I don’t have any real regrets,” laughs Keithley in an interview. “I could have done a lot of other things in life, but this crazy music stuff has turned out just fine.”
Just fine indeed; having released 18 studio albums over the past 35 years, and clocking in over 2,000 live performances, DOA remain vital and prolific. And aside from DOA itself, Keithley has also delved into political spoken-word performances, solo albums, a critically-acclaimed autobiography (“I, Sh**head”), his own independent record label (Sudden Death Records), provincial politics, and generally spending much of his waking hours stirring the pot. Keithley finds himself busier than ever at the moment. Another new DOA album is in the works (the band now features two Nelsonites: bassist Mike Hodsall and drummer Paddy Duddy now find themselves standing in the iconic footprints of Randy Rampage and Chuck Biscuits, respectively), and is scheduled for release in March 2015; then comes another gruelling world

international punk-rock community is the ongoing gentrification of the West Coast. With far too many vital and beloved local venues bulldozed and unreplaced, it’s impossible for disenfranchised punk rockers to make themselves known and heard when there’s almost nowhere
would say they have, in and around Vancouver. My new favorite Vancouver venue is the Rickshaw Theatre. We recorded our recent live album ‘Welcome to Chinatown’ there; a great atmosphere right in the middle of Canada’s worst urban neighborhood: Main and Hastings. The Biltmore Cabaret is cool, but it didn’t use to be...angry bikers used to beat up punk rockers there, back during the Smilin’ Buddha heyday.” Keithley was asked whether he agreed with the modern musicological treatise that punk rock has become a modern-day folk music. “Absolutely,” he says. “Punk has taken up the flag of telling stories of the oppressed and regular folks, which is what folk music started as.” Unlike many punk rockers who shout out anti-establishment epithets as shallow fashion, Keithley walks the leftist walk; an active member of the Green Party since 1996, Keithley’s voter magnetism was almost on par with Adriane Carr in 2001. His political allegiance has since switched to the NDP, but the yearning for working-class empowerment remains strong.

DOA arrives in Cranbrook Oct. 28 CONTINUED from page 22 “Yes, I am still politically motivated,” Keithley admits. “Clearly I’m thinking about working from the inside; hence, my recent bid to run in the last provincial election. One of my main points I’ve been trying to focus on lately is too get more people politically involved, to make their elected officials more responsive to the wishes of the peo-
ple. Also, the big issue nowadays is petroleum energy; how do we move it around North America? By railway? By overland pipeline? So we have to be looking into speeding up the widespread use of alternate energy, such as wind, solar, geo-thermal, etc. I was just in Germany, and I have never seen so many windmills and solar
panels in my life. Canadians have to start making progress in that area.” Keithley still enjoys the road life, even into his fourth decade as a punk rocker, and has been transformed through his hundreds of thousands of kilometres on his musical adventure. “Yes, travelling can be terrific, when you see new places,” says Keithley. “And it can be
a real snore...like airports. I’ve been on about 30 planes so far this year around the USA, China, Australia and Europe. I bring a soccer ball with me to keep in shape, so that helps. Canada is unique, but it’s too big, so now we always fly out to Toronto to play the Eastern half of the country.” Keithley was asked if he had any sage advice (or cynical sneering) to

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your intuition will kick in and allow you to bring out the best in a loved one. You could get an earful, but make sure you share your feelings, too. Put on some music if you’re doing anything involving writing or deep thinking. Tonight: Consider a weekend getaway. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Tension builds around your home or family. You don’t need to make a situation any more difficult than it already is, so stay positive. Encourage feedback, and you might be surprised at how easily you can complete what you must do. Tonight: Head home quickly. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will be more expressive than you have been in a while. You also might deter others from expressing their concerns, as they seem to be very impressed with your ideas. Your energy levels could be working against you. Tonight: Nap, then decide.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be more direct with a loved one about a risk. Make a point to weigh the pros and cons of a change in your home. Have a conversation about these matters, even if you feel somewhat awkward. Tonight: Visit with a friend over munchies. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll wake up finally feeling more in control of your life. Your ability to help others create their desires also will come into play. Deal with someone who seems rather unrealistic but dares to dream. Verbalize more of what you want. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Allow yourself some personal time to daydream. You are likely to touch base with a different part of your consciousness as a result. Do not overthink a purchase or an investment, as the timing might be off right now. Tonight: Curb irritability, and handle a problem directly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Tundra
You might need to rethink a commitment involving a friend. Only you can know for sure how you will feel. It will behoove you to do some reflecting on this matter. A friend could be unusually flexible, as far as making plans goes. Tonight: Do your thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be pushed beyond your limits. Recognize how important someone’s approval is to you. You seem to do whatever you can to get this person’s attention. Perhaps you would be better off taking a step back; that will get his or her attention. Tonight: Out till the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Consider finding another opinion, perhaps that of an expert. You easily could make a mistake unless you are well-grounded. You will see the situation much differently given some time and space. Tonight: Relax to a favorite piece of music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Someone you trust, but who also has a very different per-
spective, could prove to be challenging. You might not even have requested help or feedback, but this person has a need to be closer to you and feel more in control. Tonight: Visit with a key friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others will come toward you, and you might need to screen calls and interactions in general if you want to accomplish anything. You will enjoy touching base with different people in your life, but do it another day. Tonight: Forthcoming news could be interesting. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be busy and need to get past a hiccup in your daily life. Your perspective might help you breeze through this problem. Just don’t get too caught up in the situation. The less energy spent on this matter, the better. Tonight: Add some spice to your evening.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My grown son is an alcoholic. It has not interfered with his job so far, but it seems to be getting worse. His father drank himself to death, and I’m so worried he will go down the same path. He absolutely won’t discuss it. Last Mother’s Day, he promised to give up drinking, but a month later, I saw him guzzle two beers at a family picnic, and I remarked on it. He said he never wanted to speak to me again, and since then, he hasn’t. I’m not getting any younger, and I miss my son. I will be attending Al-Anon meetings, but is there anything else I can do? -- Suffering in Illinois Dear Suffering: We’re so sorry your son has chosen not to deal with his alcoholism, but this is not something you can change for him. He must do it himself. You have made a wise decision to attend Al-Anon meetings. This is a wonderful organization for people whose lives are affected by a loved one’s drinking. The members there will give you coping strategies and a shoulder to cry on, as well as advice for dealing specifically with your son. We hope he contacts you soon. Dear Annie: My dearest girlfriend insists on putting a dessert spoon at the top of the dinner plates when she hosts a formal dinner. She says that’s what etiquette demands. I think a dessert spoon should be served with dessert instead of sitting out on the table during the entire dinner. Who’s right? -- Etiquette Challenged in Dallas Dear Dallas: In a formal setting, dessert forks and spoons are brought out with the dessert. For an informal setting, however, it is perfectly OK to place dessert utensils above the plate or with the rest of the forks and spoons (the fork on the left, closest to the plate, and the spoon on the right, closest to the plate, because those will be the last utensils used). Dear Annie: I usually agree with your advice, but I think you missed the mark with “Disappointed,” the frustrated bridesmaid. She said the bride ordered hideous dresses, and when the bridesmaids tried to get her to find another, she didn’t like any of them. When “Disappointed” found her own dress, the bride didn’t like it. She then offered to drop out of the wedding party. At the rehearsal dinner, the bride announced that she had a new maid of honor because the other one didn’t want to give a speech. When a woman agrees to be a bridesmaid, she agrees to the bride’s choice of dress. If they are ugly, no one attending the wedding blames the bridesmaids. “Disappointed” complained that she bought three dresses she could “ill afford.” However, one of them was because the bride was trying to please her bridesmaids, and the last one was because “Disappointed” thought she had better taste than the bride. The bride was kind enough to allow her out of the maid-of-honor role, while keeping her in the wedding party. As for the “lie” that the bride told at the rehearsal dinner? My guess is the bride thought it sounded better than “my best friend is too selfish to honor my choice of bridesmaid dress.” Personally, I think “Disappointed” sounds like a bridesmaidzilla. -- Should Have Eloped Dear Should Have: We appreciate your spin on the situation, but brides need to take their attendants’ financial situations into consideration when choosing a dress. And a thoughtful bride will ask her bridesmaids to help select the dress to begin with, preventing exactly this type of rancor. As for the lie at the rehearsal dinner, we don’t understand why the bride felt it was necessary to make a public announcement altogether, surprising (and embarrassing) her friend. We will say, however, that an apology -- on either side -- can go a long way toward repairing a friendship. We hope they can do it.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week October 12 - 18
Dav e H u m p h r e y Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1898 Cake Found Deep in the Ground … One day last week while the men engaged in digging the cellar for Thos. Leask’s new building on Baker Street they made a find when down between three or four feet that was a surprise. Resting safely in the solid ground was a loaf of cake. It was crusted over with the earth and was in a most excellent state of preservation. How it came to be buried so deep in the ground is a mystery, but it is generally believed that sometime in the past a party may have camped on the ground, as there is a spring near at hand. A small hole may have been dug for baking purposes and this loaf accidentally dropped in it and was left. As years rolled by the place was covered up more deeply, only to be brought to light by the march of civilization. New Elko … The new town of Elko seems to be forging along to prosperity these days. The railroad company has built a fine station and double section house there,
and one of the largest water tanks along the line. The water is brought a mile from the mountains in a two inch pipe, giving a supply and a fall that will supply not only the needs of the company but the town as well. Lots have been purchased for a large hotel that will be constructed at once. The customs office at Crows Nest Landing will be removed there, a post office is to be established at once and a stage route to Tobacco Plains with three mails a week. A school has been applied for and a teacher will be ready within a short time. Several industries are negotiating with the townsite company for the use of waterpower. Gas at the Mill ... A. Moffett, of the Cranbrook Lumber Company, is the first one to introduce acetylene gas in Cranbrook. He has placed a plant at the mill, and now has the office and several of the rooms in an adjoining building lighted with this new illuminant. The mill will also be illuminated with it, to expedite work during the short days this winter. The light is clear, bright and steady and in many respects superior to electricity. A School Meeting ... William Burns, inspector of schools for the
a
Kootenays, returned to Cranbrook Monday after visiting other schools in this district. While here he conferred with other parties interested in school matters, and as a result a meeting has been called for Saturday evening at 8 o’clock at the rooms of Manager Smythe, over the bank. It is expected that arrangements will be made for the use of the Church of England for a temporary school, and that a teacher will be secured without delay. Wanted … Information is wanted of one George Wilson who has been working on the Crows Nest Pass road the past year. His wife and children are in Warren, Ont., in destitute circumstances and they have not heard from him for several months. Oops … Mr. Forest, who is having the new hotel built on Baker Street, is the victim of an unfortunate mistake. The lot numbers were given wrong to Mr. Brown who has charge of the construction, and in consequence he built one lot too far west. The building has been framed, but will have to be moved over before work can be continued. 1899
Laid to Rest ... One of the largest funerals ever held in East Kootenay took place in Cranbrook Friday morning, when the remains of Charles Craine and James Mills, the two unfortunate men who were killed in the Lake Shore Mine, Moyie, Tuesday of last week, were interred in this city. The remains were brought in on the morning train, accompanied by about seventy-five citizens of Moyie, sixty-six of whom were members of the Western Federation of Miners, with lodges at Gem and Burke, Idaho, of which the dead men were also prominent members Craine belonging to the Burke lodge and Mills to the Gem lodge. Mills’ body was taken in charge at the depot by the Cranbrook Odd Fellows. The remains of the two men were taken to the Presbyterian Church, where funeral services were conducted by Rev. Young. After the services the procession was formed and a line of march taken to the cemetery west of town, where the remains of both men were interred. After the close of the regular services the Odd Fellows performed the last sad rites over the grave of their deceased brother in accordance to the solemn ritual of the order. Hit Hard … J. G. Patterson, of
the bank, got an upper cut from the rear end of a fractious colt last week, which landed on his face and fractured a couple of his incisors.
Ice Rink … James Greer and George R. Leask intend to put up a skating and curling rink for this winter. The building w ill be 75 by 100 feet, and fitted up in good shape for the sport.
First Fire … The first fire destroying a dwelling in Cranbrook occurred on Monday night last. The house belonging to Mrs. Donahue, situated in the southeast part of town, was entirely destroyed by fire Monday night about 12 o’clock. How the fire originated is a mystery, as no one had occupied the house for a week or more.
Water Wagon … Hugh Cameron, who has been running the water wagon in this town for the past year, has sold his business to Charles Parker, late of Macleod, and will probably locate in Moyie. “Scotty” was a familiar figure in Cranbrook, and will be missed by every resident of the town.

It happened this week … Continued from page 30 Meeting of Bears … On Saturday evening last when Mr. B. Graves, section foreman, and his gang were on their way home they almost ran into a small “covey” of bears. So close was the handcar to them before they got off the track that brakes were put on and the men commenced yelling to scare them. There were four in the group, three large black fellows and a cub of the same kind. Hunters were after them next day, and although, they ran on to a couple of them, did not kill any. First Mail … The first mail left Phillipps Monday at 14 o’clock for Elko. Quite a crowd watched the departure of the stage, decorated for the occasion. Several shots were fired while driving past the government buildings, and the stage driver felt as proud as a peacock.

Baker, will contribute in no small degree to the enjoyment of convalescents. The hospital is under the careful management of the Sisters of Charity, who were trained in the St. Vincents Hospital, which is second to none on the Pacific coast. The Sisters make it a point to do all in their power to procure the well-being of all those under their
care to whose service they make it a pleasure to devote their lives. Social Event of the Season ... The youth and beauty of Cranbrook, known as the “Entre-nous” social club, held their first “party” at the residence of Mrs. John R. Costigan on Tuesday evening. Needless to say that the young people had a most enjoyable time. Eighteen couples paraded the floor when Sir Roger de Coverley was
on the tapis. But the spacious residence was ample for the accommodation of all. The members of the club owe a great deal of thanks to Mrs. Costigan and Mrs. A Leitch, who promoted the organization of the club. The next meeting will be held at the residence of A. Moffat on Tuesday evening, October 30. Tate and His New Safe ... W. F. Tate, the jeweller, has placed a new safe in his estab-

1900 Distinguished Masons … T he Masonic brethren of this city held a special meeting last Thursday evening to do honour to several representatives of the grand lodge of British Columbia, who were in the city, and other visiting Masons. After the close of a session of the lodge the members went to the Hotel Cranbrook where a bountiful spread was in waiting. Given 18 Months … Referring to the case from South East Kootenay in which J. Stadtlander was charged with the stealing a ballot box, from the returning officer last June, the Nelson Tribune says: He was not represented by counsel. After hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment. After learning of the verdict Stadtlander maintained his innocence. New Hospital … The St.Eugene Hospital of this town, begun last June, is rapidly approaching completion, and it is expected that within six weeks the personal of the Mission Hospital will be installed and ready to re-

It is said, but The Herald cannot vouch for the truthfulness of the rumour, that last Saturday night after he had packed all the valuables of the place in the new repository, he was so pleased with the idea of safety that he took off his coat and hat

It is also said that he attended a meeting of one of the lodges of which he is a member, and when asked for the password started to give the combination of the safe. Of course, all of this may not be true, but as a purveyor of news The Herald feels like giving the matter publicity.

Success for 2nd station spacewalk in 2 weeks
MARCIA DUNN ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts replaced a failed electrical unit at the International Space Station on Wednesday, restoring full power to the orbiting lab. The space station had been operating since spring with only seven of its eight solar-power channels. Wednesday’s work by Reid Wiseman and Butch Wilmore — NASA’s second spacewalk in two weeks — brought the energy capability back up to 100 per cent. The spacewalkers encountered balky bolts but still managed to complete the job in the allotted time, with less than two minutes to spare. “Yoo-hoo!” they cheered as NASA declared victory. The voltage regulator shorted out in May but could not be replaced until now because of a yearlong hiatus in nonemergency spacewalks by NASA. The stoppage was caused by spacesuit problems, most notably a flooded helmet that nearly cost an astronaut’s life in 2013. Wiseman took part in the Oct. 7 spacewalk that jump-started NASA’s outside maintenance, accompanied by a German. This time, Wiseman was joined
by Wilmore, who made his first spacewalk. To avoid an electrical shock, the two spacewalkers waited until darkness before attempting to remove the old voltage regulator, so there would be no discharge. They took in the view 260 miles (418 kilometres) below as they waited for the space station to fly into the night side of Earth. “I see Cairo!” Wiseman said. “Can’t quite make out the pyramids, though.” Sunset came over Kazakhstan and China, and Wiseman began to undo the bolt holding down the bad regulator. His pistol grip tool failed to loosen the bolt. “I can feel it binding up,” he said. A ratchet wrench — along with some muscle — did the trick. Wiseman removed the 330-pound (150-kilogram) boxy regulator from its slot and, with Wilmore’s help, popped in the new one. But once again, they ran into bolt trouble, this time in securing the new device. The minutes ticked away as Mission Control debated how much longer to keep up the effort, before stopping for the next orbital sunrise. With less than 10 minutes remaining, flight controllers advised Wiseman to try tightening the bolt with

Robbery suspect who barricaded himself in apartment arrested C ANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Vancouver police have arrested a 25-year-old man who barricaded himself in an apartment after an alleged robbery. Const. Brian
Montague says the man allegedly snatched a woman’s purse on Tuesday night near downtown Vancouver. Montague says the suspect then drove off in a stolen taxi cab.
Police tracked the man down at an apartment and negotiators convinced him to surrender to police. Montague says police will be recommending several criminal charges.
Boston time capsule contains wonders of 1901
NASA IMAGE
Astronauts take a walk in space. the ratchet wrench. It worked. “Outstanding news,” Mission Control radioed. Flight controllers immediately checked out the newly installed system, with less than three minutes to go. Success was declared with one minute and 45 seconds remaining. The voltage regulator — officially called a sequential shunt unit or SSU — is needed to keep excess power from its designated solar wing, from overloading the station system. Power is regulated at about 160 volts. After the May breakdown, NASA transferred space station systems dependent on the failed power channel to a backup. No operations were hampered, but NASA wanted that channel operating again for full capa-
bility and redundancy. It should be back up and running normally again by Thursday. With their main job completed, the spacewalkers installed a new camera, and moved around various camera and wireless radio systems. The relocations are needed to get ready for the eventual arrival of new commercial crew vehicles. That’s still a few years away. “It’s been a very successful day,” Mission Control said as the 6 1/2-hour spacewalk drew to a close. A Russian spacewalk, meanwhile, is on tap for next Wednesday. ———— Online: NASA: http://www. nasa.gov/mission— pages/station/main/ index.html
BOB SALSBERG ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — A Boston time capsule dating to 1901 contained letters, photographs, newspaper clippings and the book “Foreign Relations of the United States, 1886.” The capsule was removed last week from the head of lion statue that has
long stood guard over the Old State House. The Bostonian Society, which oversees the historic building, released an inventory of the items Wednesday. The red hardcover book had been a mystery when the capsule was opened, because it did not have a visible title. Bostonian Soci-
ety archivist Elizabeth Roscio said the contents were in remarkably good overall condition. Also tightly packed into the box were business cards of top elected and appointed officials, and a William McKinley-Theodore Roosevelt presidential campaign button from 1900.
EU planning comet landing ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — The European Space Agency has confirmed the time and place it will attempt to land the first spacecraft on a comet. The agency said Wednesday its unmanned probe Rosetta will release the 100-kilogram (220-
pound) lander at 0835 GMT (3:35 EST) on Nov. 12. The aim is to drop its lander Philae at a location dubbed ‘Site J’ on the 4-kilometre (2.5mile) wide comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The manoeuvr will take about seven hours. But because the radio signals
take 28 minutes to travel hundreds of millions of miles (kilometres) back to Earth, confirmation of a successful landing won’t arrive until about 1603 GMT (11:03 a.m. EST). Scientists hope the mission will help them learn more about the origins and evolution of objects in the universe.

London looks at new smoking ban ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A leading cancer specialist is proposing a ban on smoking in London’s parks and at landmarks like Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square. Ara Darzi, the chair of the London Health Commission, has advised Mayor Boris Johnson to use existing powers for a ban, which would discourage children from smoking. Smoking is already banned in Britain in public places indoors.
London is not the first city to endorse such measures. New York, for example, has declared all of the city’s parks and beaches as smoke-free areas. But the proposal quickly raised anger. Simon Clark, of the pro-smoking group Forest, says a ban would be “outrageous.” He says, “the next thing you know we’ll be banned from smoking in our own gardens in case a whiff of smoke travels over the fence.”

Rare negatives from John and Jacqueline Kennedy’s wedding being auctioned ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — One black-and-white photograph captures a beaming John F. Kennedy slicing into his wedding cake. Another shows the family dog peeking out playfully from the folds of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy’s billowing white dress. A Boston auction house on Wednesday was set to close an online auction on 13 negatives from the Kennedys’ fairytale wedding in Newport, Rhode Island. The negatives feature images of the wedding party posing outside,
the newlyweds leaving the church and the couple cutting the wedding cake. The Kennedys were married on Sept. 12, 1953, at St. Mary’s Church in the wellheeled summer resort located about 60 miles from Boston. RR Auction said the images are attributed to freelance photographer Frank Ataman. Four images are of the newlyweds, two show the entire wedding party, and the remainder show the cake, reception and wedding attendees. The negatives are in their original
Trial for banker accused of helping wealthy hide funds begins ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Trial began Tuesday for a former top executive at Swiss banking giant UBS AG on charges of conspiring with other bankers and thousands of wealthy Americans to conceal $20 billion in assets from the IRS. Raoul Weil, who once ran the global wealth management operations for UBS, faces up to five years in prison if convicted of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government. Prosecutors say he oversaw a lucrative, illegal business in the U.S. that recruited the wealthy to hide money behind opaque Swiss bank secrecy laws and using phoney companies, foundations and other entities. “You had to have a plan, and it was a plan to defraud the IRS. And the defendant was in on that plan,” said Mark Daly, a Justice Department tax division trial attorney, in an opening statement. “Whether you’re at the bottom or the top, you’re still in on that conspiracy.” Daly described elaborate efforts by UBS bankers to conceal who they worked for and what they were doing on trips to the U.S., such as using laptop computers with hidden hard drives that contained secret client information and
frequently switching hotels. The bankers lured rich clients at such South Florida events as the Art Basel sales and the annual Key Biscayne tennis tournament, he said. “Why did these taxpayers put their money in Switzerland? Swiss bank secrecy is the reason,” Daly said. Weil attorney Aaron Marcu, however, blamed any wrongdoing on a small group of rogue UBS bankers who did not keep their boss informed. Many of them, he told jurors, made immunity deals with the government in exchange for their testimony against Weil. “They broke the law. They violated their duty to the bank and Mr. Weil. They lied to Mr. Weil,” Marco said. “The government is going to try to pin this misconduct on one man: Raoul Weil.” Weil, 54, was originally indicted in 2008 and was a fugitive until his 2013 arrest in Italy. Weil pleaded not guilty after his extradition to the U.S. and has been free on $10.5 million bail. The trial, expected to last about four weeks, is the latest in a campaign by the IRS to pry open Swiss banks and identify U.S. taxpayers using them to dodge income taxes.

At the time, Kennedy was less than a year into his first term as a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and more than seven years from his election as the country’s first Roman Catholic president and its youngest elected head of state.

Avalanche in Nepal kills 12 people, four Canadians ASSOCIATED PRESS
KATMANDU, Nepal - Officials say an avalanche and a blizzard in Nepal’s mountainous north have killed at least 12 people, including four Canadians. The co-founder of Montreal-based travel agency Terra Ultima said today three Quebecers are among those missing and feared dead. Julien Passerini said there were six Quebecers in the area, including a guide. The six left Canada on Oct. 3 for three weeks. The three people he described as missing were two women in their 50s and one in her 30s. One of the three is the guide. A statement from the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal said the bodies of five people - four Canadians and one Indian trekker were recovered from Phu area in Manang district. A company called Panorama Himalaya confirmed the deaths of three Canadian clients in an avalanche while a company called Nepal Hidden Treks confirmed the death of a Canadian woman. Panorama Himalaya also said it had rescued three other Canadian trekkers, according to
the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal. The death toll was likely to rise as rescuers struggled through snow and rough terrain to help dozens who remained stranded, the officials said. Prime Minister Stephen Harper took to Twitter to voice his sympathy. “Laureen and I express our condolences to the families and friends of the four Canadians who lost their lives in an avalanche in Nepal,” he wrote. Three villagers were killed Monday in the same district, about 160 kilometres northwest of the capital, Kathmandu, and their bodies were recovered on Wednesday. In the neighbouring Mustang district, four trekkers caught in a blizzard died Tuesday. Rescuers recovered the bodies of the two Poles, one Israeli and one Nepali trekker from the Thorong La pass area. It was initially thought that group had been caught in an avalanche, but government official Yam Bahadur Chokyal said the four trekkers instead had been caught in the blizzard and died. He said another 14 foreign trekkers have
been rescued so far, and two army helicopters were picking up injured trekkers and flying them to Jomsom town. Chokyal said it was not possible to say how many trekkers were still on the route stranded by the deep snow but several of them have reached safe ground on Wednesday because of improved weather. Five other climbers two from Slovakia and three Nepalese guides were hit by a separate avalanche on Mount Dhaulagiri and remained missing. The rain and snow in Nepal were caused by a cyclone that hit neighbouring India several days ago. October is the most popular trekking season in Nepal, with thousands of foreigners hiking around Nepal’s Himalayan mountains. The Thorong La pass is also on the route that circles Mount Annapurna, the world’s 10th highest peak. An avalanche in April just above the base camp on Mount Everest killed 16 Nepalese guides, the deadliest single disaster on the mountain. Climate experts say rising global temperatures have contributed to avalanches on the Himalayan mountains.
Legal aid funding expected to top provincial justice ministers’ meeting C ANADIAN PRESS

BANFF, Alta. - Provincial justice ministers are expected to demand this week that the federal government recommit to funding the legal aid program. The ministers are meeting through to Friday with their federal counterparts in Banff, Alta., with legal aid at the top of the agenda. Manitoba Justice Minister Andrew Swan says that since 2006, Ottawa has increasingly taken a backseat in funding the program, which provides legal services to people in need. Swan says in Manitoba alone, the federal government now only contributes about 16 per
cent of legal aid costs, compared to the mid1990s when it was split on 50-50 basis. Swan also fears Ottawa will not renew its funding of Winnipeg’s drug-treatment court and the band constable program as of March 31. Ontario and Nova Scotia also offer drug-treatment courts, while Alberta and New Brunswick have band constable programs similar to Manitoba’s, where it’s more widespread. The federal government has funded the Winnipeg drug-treatment court with about $600,000 annually for the past nine years. Because there is no guarantee funding will con-
tinue, the court is not accepting any new clients and plans to expand it have been put on hold. Drug-treatment court diverts drug users from the criminal justice system into treatment and the band constable program provides peace officers to 31 Manitoba First Nations. The 45-year-old band constable program allows First Nations to police their own communities in partnership with the RCMP. Ottawa has run it since 1969, but notified Manitoba last February it was terminating it. Swan says without an extension, his province could find itself weighing whether to continue the program itself.

Harper promises more help from Canada to stem Ebola crisis C ANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - Stephen Harper is promising more help from Canada to stem the Ebola crisis in West Africa. The prime minister spoke Wednesday with the secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, about the international effort to control the deadly virus that has killed thousands. A summary of their conversation, released by Harper’s office, said Ban “expressed his appreciation for Canada’s contributions to date.” “Prime Minister Harper indicated that Canada would commit additional support to the international effort in the coming days.” The Prime Minister’s Office declined to give any further de-
Environmental rules for High Arctic seas considered in vote BOB WEBER Canadian Press
High Arctic waters could be a step closer to receiving their first environmental protections this week as representatives from more than 100 countries take a preliminary vote on rules for safe, clean shipping in the region. The vote, expected Thursday or Friday, is happening at a meeting in London of a committee of the International Maritime Organization concerning the proposed Polar Code. “This week, it looks as if the environment committee is going to vote to approve the environmental section of
She also wants to know what precautions are being taken to protect Canadians working in the worst-affected areas of West Africa. Davies is also seeking more information about the experimental vaccine. She wants to know what percentage of the existing supply of the vaccine is being used in the trials, how much will remain for emergency use in Canada, whether production has been increased and when more of the vaccine will be available. Last week, Liberal health critic Hedy Fry proposed that the House of Commons health committee hold an emergency, four-day meeting to be briefed by Ambrose, the chief public health officer and other experts on the same
WHO. New Democrats asked the federal government Wednesday to be more transparent about the steps being taken to prevent an Ebola outbreak in Canada and to produce the vaccine. NDP health critic Libby Davies wrote Health Minister Rona Ambrose, arguing that Canadians need to be kept well informed in order to maintain confidence in the Public Health Agency’s ability to handle the crisis. In her letter, Davies asks Ambrose to answer some specific questions, such as who is responsible for ensuring quarantine and treatment protocols in hospitals and who is responsible for ensuring health workers have the appropriate equipment.
tails about the type of support it will offer. So far, the government has committed $35 million to the World Health Organization, the UN and humanitarian aid groups working the effected region. It has also donated up to $2.5 million worth of personal protective equipment. As well, the Public Health Agency of Canada has sent two mobile labs to Sierra Leone. One of the lab teams is working with Medecins Sans Frontieres to provide rapid diagnosis; the other is helping to improve infection prevention and control procedures. Canada has also offered to donate a Canadian-developed experimental vaccine, currently undergoing clinical trials, to the
sort of questions. The committee has made no decision as yet. Ambrose, meanwhile, spoke Wednesday with representatives of the national nurses’ union, which has complained of inadequate personal protective gear, training and preparedness for nurses, who would be on the front lines should Ebola arrive in Canada. She reassured the nurses that they have her full support and that the government is committed to ensuring they have everything they need to feel safe. Ambrose was also scheduled to speak to her provincial and territorial counterparts about preparedness in a conference call later Wednesday.

the Polar Code,” said Kevin Harun, who has observer status at the meeting. He’s a member of the non-governmental organization Pacific Environment. Northern countries such as Canada already have tough regulations on what’s allowed in the Arctic, but those rules don’t cover the central Arctic Ocean beyond territorial waters. The Polar Code, which is binding, would offer some protection for those seas in addition to codes of practice covering all oceans. “The belief here is that the Arctic is so much more sensitive,” Harun said.

Falling oil prices could affect tax cuts: economists C ANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA - Economists are warning that Ottawa will have to weigh the potential risks of plummeting oil prices before it starts doling out large tax cuts. The federal finance minister has promised the government would live up to its tax-cutting pledges despite a sharp fall in oil prices - thanks to a projected surplus in next year’s budget. But some economists say Joe Oliver will be forced to pay close attention to the slide since it could well affect Canada’s bottom line. A former senior Fi-
nance Department bureaucrat says the country’s bank account is very sensitive to the fate of oil prices. Scott Clark says amid this uncertainty Oliver has been “almost unbelievably optimistic” about the federal surplus and seems to be downplaying the impact of the oil prices. Randall Bartlett of TD Economics says sagging energy prices will ultimately shrink federal tax revenue - but he believes the government has left itself enough room to follow through with its to tax-reduction vows.

Temperament is also important, as some breeds tend to be more easygoing than others. Larger breeds may be preferable to a smaller breeds, which tend to be hyperactive. However, always remember there are pros and cons to each breed, and each dog will demonstrate his own personality traits. The following are some dogs that can be especially compatible with seniors.
* Pug: Equally playful and willing to be a lap dog, the pug requires little exercise and grooming. The breed is typically nonaggressive and submissive. Pugs are good-natured and playful; they don’t often bark and are easy to train. * Shih Tzu: The Shih Tzu lives for attention, but this breed can be dominant and difficult to train. The Shih Tzu will be alert to its surroundings and, despite its small stature, can be a good watchdog. * Pomeranian: Pomeranians look like big balls of fur and can bring a smile to an owner’s face.

Roughly one in five Canadians uses hair dye to enhance their looks or hide gray hair. But concerns about gray hair and looking older are not exclusive to Canadians. The trouble with gray hair -- and especially hair close to the temples -- is that such hair tends to be more coarse and more resistant to absorbing hair color than other hair. It can be difficult to cover the gray hairs, and then once it is dyed, gray hair may end up showing prematurely.

little grooming. They are easy to train and moderately dominant. They don’t bark excessively, and they often get along with other dogs.
Gray hair results from the hair cortex, or the middle layer of the hair, losing both the yellow and red pigments that are normally present in the strands. In order to successfully cover grays, these pigments need to be replaced using dyes that have red, yellow and blue bases. Shades characterized as “neutral” are usually the best bets. Avoid ash colors, which tend to have a blue, green or violet base. The hair shaft will pick up the underlying color but not absorb the intended color.

Resistant grays may need the color solution to remain on much longer than is normal or recommended. Sometimes it can take up to 45 minutes for resistant grays to absorb dye. Certain manufacturers make dyes that are designed specifically for gray hair and allow for better penetration. Sometimes gray hair may need to be presoftened with peroxide prior to color application. The peroxide will raise the hair shaft and enable the color to penetrate better.
Coloring hair at home is possible but may not produce the most desirable results, and there is a greater chance of user error with drug store coloring products. When making drastic changes to hair color, it may be best to consult with a professional stylist and discuss color preferences. The stylist can then create a custom color and apply it evenly to ensure complete coverage. He or she will also have the timing down pat so gray hair is covered completely and effectively.

OSTEOMOVE™ EXTRA STRENGTH JOINT CARE 240 Tablets • JOINT PAIN AND IT’S RISKS Inflammation – fire in the body’s tissues – is identified by redness, warmth, swelling, and pain, and it is our first defence against infection, irritation, or other injury.

In controlled studies glucosamine sulfate has actually been shown to reduce pain in arthritis more effectively than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Glucosamine actually encourages joint repair.
