Use of old fire hall denied until renovated ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

The city couldn’t grant a request from the Salvation Army to use the old fire hall for 54 days as part of the program that provides Christmas Food Hampers and toys to individuals.

Captain Kirk Green, from the Salvation Army, wrote that in order to provide for the estimated 300 families in need the non-profit needs a suitable building and the old fire hall would do it. “Preparations begin in early November with the

storage and arrangements of goods and culminate on December 22 with hamper pick-up and delivery,” Green said. “For the purposes of this request, we would appreciate the use of the building from November 1, 2014 until December 24, 2014.”

However, at the Oct. 20 council meeting, CAO Staudt said the old fire hall would not be available for the extended period of time the Salvation Army is requesting. Staudt wrote back to Green saying that the city

had just had a contractor remove the asbestos in the old fire hall and as a result the facility won’t be available for public use until it is renovated. “The fire chief did say that if it was for one day, or something like that, they might be

Flowers of remembrance for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo have been anonymously placed around the Cenotaph at Rotary Park in Cranbrook as the tragedy from last week’s shooting at the National War Memorial resonates across Canada. Cirillo’s body has returned to his hometown of Hamilton, Ont, for the funeral on Tuesday. Cirillo was shot and killed by a gunman while standing guard at the Memorial last Wednesday.

able to make the fire hall available for something on a one-day activity window,” Staudt said, adding that the fire chief was going to contact the Salvation Army, but noted he didn’t believe there was anything available from the city at this time. Mayor Wayne Stetski said he’s been looking into the request. “Coun. Scott and I were talking about it earlier and were wondering if maybe a realtor might know about something available that a business person might want to open up and let them use for free,” Stetski said. Coun. Diana J. Scott said the Sunrise Rotary used to use the building in the Tamarack Centre next to the Columbia Theatre, but that now houses Glow Yoga. “Something like that may be available, or the Subway restaurant on the strip has moved down a few blocks to a great big new fabulous place. Their (old) location is sitting vacant.” Scott noted that it was too bad no one would be able to watch the meeting, as it wouldn’t be broadcast on Shaw due to election rules (which have since been revised; the Nov. 3 meeting will be broadcast). Coun. Gerry Warner suggested the Telus building. “That’s one of the biggest buildings downtown and it’s not all occupied,” Warner said. “We use it as an incidence centre when there is an emergency, there’s good space there.”

Rural communities to discuss mosquito treatment TRE VOR CR AWLEY Townsman Staff

Area residents out in the Bull River, Fort Steele, Mayook and Wardner communities will get the chance to hear a preliminary assessment on mosquito populations and breeding grounds next week.

A few local residents have spearheaded the effort to get a report done after a few tough mosquito seasons, according to Rob Gay, Area C Director for the RDEK. Culex Environment Ltd. completed the report for the aforementioned communities, which do not have a

mosquito treatment plan. “There has been a great deal of work behind the scenes by a group of residents to gather historical data regarding mosquitoes and the next step was to have a formal assessment done so we have a baseline understanding,” said Gay.

Residents and representatives from Culex Environment and the RDEK will deliver presentations on Monday, Nov. 3 at the Wardner Community Hall. The areas have been without a treatment plan for over 10 years, according to Gay. There was a proposal

that was voted down by residents before his time as RDEK representative. “We’ve done this before in Wardner and it actually went to a vote and was turned down,” said Gay. “It was before my time in politics, but I wanted to make sure the community was be-

hind it [this time].” After an initial community meeting, residents agreed to go to the next step, which was using some community-directed funding from the Columbia Basin Trust to complete a Phase One study.

Rotary Way upgraded, expanded to link with Rails to Trails F o r t h e Tow n s m a n

With the nice weather, work is proceeding on Rotary Way on several fronts this fall. The Link: First of all Rotary Way will be linked to North Star Rails to Trails (previously known as the Rails to Trails project) which runs to along the old CPR rail bed to Kimberley. The route for the “Link” runs along McPhee road from the old CPR rail bed near Theater Road, along McPhee Road, past the Home Depot, past the Transfer station to the Chamber of Commerce on Cranbrook Street. The rest of the Link on the east side of Cranbrook Street was constructed by the City of Cranbrook last year. BA Black Top is working on this part of the trail. Paving will be proceeding soon. A good deal of time and effort was taken in consideration of various alternative routes for the Link. Safety and ease of use were primary concern in selecting the route. A word of appreciation is extended to the Regional District of East Kootenay for their co-operation, with respect to the trail in front of the Transfer Station. Similarly thanks the Chamber of Commerce for their assistance in providing for the trail in front of the Chamber building. The Chamber office will be a great spot for visitors and residents to pick up trail information, park, and head out into the City via foot or bicycle. A large gravel surface parking lot has been constructed by the City on the south side of McPhee road near the Chamber. This parking lot will provide spots for large trailers and

motorhomes as well as trail users. Walkers and cyclists can head out the south to the North Star Trail towards Kimberley from this point as well. Funding on this part of the project was provided by the City of Cranbrook, Rotary Club, Columbia Basin Trust and the Province of BC. Rotary Way Maintenance: Maintenance has been proceeding on the existing Rotary Way. Rotary Way was constructed in several stages over the past 15 years and several items required upgrade. Two bridges were replaced last year in the St Mary’s school area. This summer line painting (and stop bars) and retaining wall repair was carried out by the City of Cranbrook. Right now pavement repairs are underway at various locations with BA Blacktop doing that work for the Rotary Club of Cranbrook. There are a few areas where the pavement had deteriorated. Signs along the trail will be upgraded and replaced where necessary. Funding assistance was provided for this work by Columbia Basin Trust in cooperation with the City of Cranbrook. BA Blacktop has also donated a portion of their work to this project. Rotary Way Clean Up: Rotary members are active cleaning gravel and other debris from the trail. In some areas weeds and grasses are encroaching on to the trail. These are being trimmed back to widen the trail and reduce or prevent damage. Sandor Rentals has donated some equipment for this work. We look forward to further expansion of the trail in the future.

BA Blacktop is conducting pavement repairs on Rotary Way in Cranbrook.

Cranbrook won’t be attending Pacific Northwest conference Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

The city won’t be sending a representative to attend a Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) conference, citing time restraints and cost. Kevin Weaver, the city’s business and economic development manager, said at the Oct. 20 council meeting that he can’t justify attending the event at this time, given the the current workload, priorities and travel expenses. Weaver said he’d done some follow up about the Pacific North-

For the Townsman

Local concert promoter F.J. Hurtak (left), of the Kootenay Concert Connection, was presented with an award at the recent George Canyon show in Cranbrook. The presentation to Hurtak and the Kootenay Concert Connection was for supporting George Canyon and for promoting all of his B.C. Country Music tours throughout the province, over the past ten years of Canyons’ career.

The new average: Every two years is a bad mosquito year Continued from page 1 “What it did is they went to fairly common-sense areas along the Kootenay River on both sides where it floods — of course when you get the floodwater, the mosquito eggs are there, and they can last for 15 years and up come all these mosquitos,” said Gay. “What the community has found is probably in the last 10 years, rather than every third and fourth year being a bad year, being a bad mosquito year, they’re saying every second year and in fact, some years, they’ve had two years in a row of bad mosquitoes.

“When it’s bad out there—I’ve been there—you cannot go outside for probably two months.” Now, with the presentations in hand, it will be up to residents to decide the next step. Culex Environment has estimated costs for an average and a bad mosquito season. “That all translates into how much we have to pay for it,” said Gay. One of the possible reasons that the communities declined to put a treatment plan in place over 10 years ago may have been the cost, according to Gay. Back then, taxation for the initiative was

based on assessed value rather than a parcel tax. “The thought there is that mosquitos aren’t selective when they bite someone—they’ll bite a guy with a big house the same as a guy with a little house,” joked Gay. This time, if residents choose to go forward with it, the RDEK can apply a parcel tax, which is a flat rate tax regardless of assessed value, according to Gay. Residents from Fort Steele, Mayook, Colony Road, Bull River, Wardner and Norbury Lakes areas are encouraged to attend the meeting.

“The cost is pretty expensive for an individual to attend,” Weaver said. “We do have an alternative with B.C. Economic Development Association.” He said the president of that association expressed interest in going to the conference, as the association is considering becoming a member of the forum. “So that might be a better way for us to get a sense of what it is all about,” he said. “Rather than us putting up the cash.” The conference is Nov. 19 - 22.

City receives tourism award Arne Pe tryshen

The city has been awarded the Kootenay Rockies Tourism Association Award as part of ongoing efforts in the tourism sector. The City worked in partnership with the Pacific Coastal Airlines and the Canadian Rockies International Airport to undertake a series of social media campaigns to promote local events and showcase what Cranbrook has to offer. The first campaign promoted Sam Steels Days, reaching almost 141,000, while the second campaign promoted the Kootenay Gran Fondo reached 522,000. At council on Oct. 20, Coun. Diana J. Scott said that while the city received the award, she noted it was city staff that had put a lot of effort into it. “You’ve been telling us the last several years that we get better bang for our buck through advertising and social media than we do sometimes in print and magazines and more traditional forms,” Scott said. “I think this proves that we’ve reached 750,000 people and signed up hundreds of

people for our newsletters about Cranbrook Tourism and Cranbrook as a city and a destination.” Coun. Cross also noted that while council receive the accolades, it’s city staff that do all the work. “It was out of the box thinking,” Cross said. “It was innovative and creative, and I really appreciate that about city staff.” Coun. Gerry Warner said that while they are tossing accolades around they should thank Sunrise Rotary Club. He said the club came up with the idea. “It produces money not only for the club, but a big line of money goes to the Rails to Trails. So as well as boosting tourism in town it goes to one of our greatest attractions. “It would be nice if council sent them a letter saying that we appreciate the fact that they put on such a popular event,” Warner said. Mayor Wayne Stetski agreed. “Partnership and collaboration can take us all a lot further and that’s a good example of it,” Stetski said.

Johns running for trustee re-election For the Townsman

After two successful terms as Cranbrook School District 5 Trustee Chris Johns believes he still has work to do for the Cranbrook school community. “I’ve decided to seek a third term to complete and enhance the goals I set out to accomplish back in 2008,” explained Johns. “That includes keeping an open dialogue with the school community, advocating for adequate school funding and to get a new Mount Baker High School built.” First elected in 2008 Johns came to the school board after retiring from 36 years as a teacher and 11 years as President of the Cranbrook District Teachers’ Associa-

tion. Over the past six years he has taken on the role of student-teacher supervisor for the University of Victoria/ College of the Rockies Teachers’ Education Program. Since 2004 Johns has also been a Kootenay Ice Billet Family, providing a home for hockey players from across Canada. Johns feels that his extensive experience as an educator has served the Board well. “I’ve witnessed firsthand the importance of advocacy and engagement with students, parents, teachers and all of our employees,” explained Johns. “Nobody has all the answers, so I have an obligation, a public trust, to make decisions in a transparent manner while upholding

Chris Johns the principles of public education. We make our best decisions when we always engage with those who have a stake in the outcome.” While Johns feels that the quality of public education is being put at risk with chronic

underfunding, he points out that SD5 trustees still fulfill their obligations to balance their budgets every single year. “It gets harder and harder every year to keep us out of the red,” said Johns. “Provincial funding never keeps up with the inevitable increases in what it costs to run our vehicles, heat and maintain our buildings, and so on. But we are determined to keep the cuts needed to balance the books as far away from the classrooms as possible. And each year we provide government with an objective assessment of the shortfalls.” While Johns is proud of a number of achievements over the past three years, in-

cluding no school closures, he is most proud of the over four months of public consultations that he organized to lay the groundwork for replacing Mount Baker High School as a Neighbourhood Learning Centre, incorporating a new Key City Theatre within the design. “We met one-on-one with over fifty groups in Cranbrook to learn what our community would like to have in a community school, and the decision was to include a performing arts facility,” said Johns. “I’ve been the project lead for SD5, and we’re now at the point where the District, Key City Theatre, the City of Cranbrook and other community partners, including other levels of govern-

ment, have come together to make the vision into a reality.” Johns says that there is still a lot of work to be done at SD5 and would be honoured if the citizens of Cranbrook and Area C re-elected him to school trustee. “We have a new high school to build. We have funding shortfalls to overcome. We need to constantly engage parents, teachers and all of our staff to help us make the best decisions,” said Johns. “I’m up for the challenges and with the support of our community I will keep working hard every day to provide the very best public education for all of our Cranbrook and Area C students.”

Bat blitz to study endangered species in Flathead For the Townsman

Conservation groups have answered a request from the B.C. government to help study a group of species soon to face devastating population die-offs — bats – and have released a report about bats in the Flathead River Valley just in time for Halloween. The groups organized a formal inventory in July that brought together 10 bat biologists and seven citizen scien-

tists to conduct the first-ever BioBlitz dedicated exclusively to the study of bat species in the Flathead. The BioBlitz follows a public plea made in June by B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak, who asked citizen scientists to count bats because “there is surprisingly little known about local bat species and their numbers.” “We went one step further and gathered biologists for a four-day Bat BioBlitz in the Flathead,” said Mark Worthing, Flathead Outreach Coordinator at Sierra Club BC. “They captured or acoustically detected two species of

bats that are considered endangered at a national level, little brown myotis and northern myotis.” These two species have been decimated by the millions in eastern Canada by a fungal disease called White Nose Syndrome, which attacks bats while they are hibernating. The disease, introduced from Europe, is spreading westward in Canada. Dr. Cori Lausen, a bat specialist at Wildlife Conservation Society Canada who led the Flathead Bat BioBlitz, said White Nose Syndrome has not yet been detected in B.C., but could arrive any time. If

spread by bats alone and not humans, Lausen said the disease is expected to arrive within the next decade. “We can only help bats if we know where they hibernate,” she said. “No significant bat hibernacula have yet been discovered in B.C. and yet the Flathead is surrounded by karst, including the deepest cave in Canada. Through collaborations with cavers we have only just begun to search for bat hibernacula here. It’s imperative that we continue the search in the Flathead for bat hibernacula since large clusters of bats may be present but undiscovered.” Lausen and her team captured seven different bat species during the BioBlitz, including the little brown myotis, silver-haired bat and hoary bat. They acoustically detected three more species, including the highly-endangered northern myotis and eastern red bat.

The Little Brown Myotis species of bat has been decimated by White Nose Syndrome. it would represent a provincial range extension of 850 kilometres south. This species resides east of the Continental Divide, in Waterton Lakes National Park adjacent to the Flathead, so if the eastern red bat moves over high altitudes it could be present in the Flathead. The Bat BioBlitz was organized by six Canadian and U.S. conserva-

tion groups: Canadian Parks & Wilderness Society - BC Chapter, Headwaters Montana, National Parks Conservation Association, Sierra Club BC, Wildsight, Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative The groups are working to permanently protect B.C.’s Flathead, long recognized as the missing piece of the adjacent Waterton Glacier Inter-

national Peace Park and World Heritage Site. They are calling for a national park in the southeastern one-third of the Flathead, and a Wildlife Management Area in the rest of the valley and adjoining habitat. The groups also released a 5-minute video of the Bat BioBlitz made by award-winning filmmaker Leanne Allison. (vimeo.com/109662328)

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Demolition of eyesore building

I think everyone agrees the building has to go, the question is ‘when?’ McRae says we have the money do it now. McCormick says council’s understanding was that the demolition would be financed by the sale of four Chapman Camp lots. Only one lot has sold so far so McCormick says we should delay until the lots sell. According to the Bulletin’s information on the reserve fund, McRae is correct: the money is there, but when the demolition costs are taken from the fund, the fund will be almost empty (perhaps enough left to pave the lot). McRae says McCormick doesn’t understand the reserve fund. What’s to un-

derstand if the reserve fund is just the title of an empty account? From $434,897.34 to almost empty and two and one-half months to go before years end tells a story of very little reserve dealing with the reserve fund. John Clark Kimberley

Mobility scooters

Regarding Mr. Warner’s remarks about mobility scooter for handicapped people: Had Mr. Warner taken the time to pay attention to these devices he would notice that they all come equipped with brakes, horn, signal lights, brake lights, and lights. They are mandated — I believe federally — as an assistance mobility device.

And yes, they are capable of going 15 or so kilometres an hour. This is because some of those handicapped people have no other means of getting around. They fall in the same category as motorized wheelchairs. So Mr. Warner appears to have something against handicapped people, and quite a few of them are seniors. So how many voters has he just insulted and lost votes from? I for one was of the mind, at the start of this election, leaning towards Mr. Warner, but being senior and handicapped, now must reconsider that. After all who wants a city councillor who is against handicapped people? And that is ALL I read in his views and comments. Tom Haverko Cranbrook

Renowned doctor to speak on Lyme Disease Barry Coulter

A free information session on the perils of Lyme Disease is being offered in Cranbrook on Wednesday, Oct. 29. Dr. Ernie Murakami, founder Murakami Centre for Lyme Research, Education & Assistance, will be speaking at the College of the Rockies Lecture Theatre starting at 7 p.m. A press release by the organizers says that Dr. Murakami has treated and consulted with over 3,000 people that have presented positive serology for Lyme and co-infections in Canada. His longterm goal is “to help get rid the layers of mistrust and misguided information to expose the truth and weak areas that need to be addressed by our current health care system behind this disease. “Dr. Murakami … has made it his life’s work to further educate and treat Lyme in Canada.” Admission to the presentation is free, though donations will be accepted to help cover the travel costs of Dr. Murakami The presentation is an initiative of Julia O’Shannassy from Fernie, who herself is afflicted with Lyme Disease. “Prior to becoming ill, I was very active. I became very ill in the Fall of 2012 — it felt like I was coming down with the flu.”

After consultations with her GP and various specialists, O’Shannassy was finally told she had a virus. “By the spring, I was starting to feel a bit better, but my health went downhill again very quickly. By July I was completed exhausted all the time, had severe joint pain and couldn’t concentrate. “I started doing my own research and stumbled upon Lyme Disease. O’Shannassy said she also learned that diagnosis and treatment in Canada are poor, so she went to specialist in the Seattle to get diagnosis and treatment. “I had a positive blood test and started antibiotic treatment at the end of August, 2013. I have now been on antibiotic treatment for 13 months. I also take various supplements and try to eat a fairly strict diet. “I would say that I am now 80 per cent better, but still have a ways to go until I am able to be as active as I once was. “I just want to get the message out to people that Lyme Disease is in the East Kootenay but that you may not be able to get proper diagnosis and treatment in this area.” Some facts about Lyme Disease Lyme disease is one of the most rapidly spreading vector-borne diseases in the

world. It is an inflammatory infection that spreads to humans through tick bites. Three stages of Lyme Disease: Stage 1: Early infection (first few days after infection) Stage 2: Infection spreads (days to weeks following infection) Stage 3: Chronic Lyme (days to weeks after infection if left untreated, or not properly treated, for months/years after infection) Lyme disease is most treatable during Stage 1. Symptoms worsen during each stage of infection, ranging from flu-like symptoms to neurological illnesses, including paralysis. With chronic Lyme disease there is not one system of the body that can be unaffected… this includes various hormone production as well. Lyme Disease is very often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, MS, ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Treatment Research shows that it can take several rounds of antibiotics to overcome Lyme infection. Talk to your doctor about additional antibiotic treatments if you’ve been experiencing symptoms for an extended period of time.

Difficult birth for LNG cash cow Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-percent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles. The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is

considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake. China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s BC VIEWS only current export market. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natuTom ral gas industry has relied on Fletcher exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up — and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

From Russia with love Valiev hopes to boost Ice fortunes on six-game homestand Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Kootenay Ice defenceman Rinat Valiev emerged from the team dressing room with a welcoming smile spread across his face Monday afternoon. A smile is a rare thing in the bowels of Western Financial Place these days. Lost in the excitement of forward Tim Bozon’s return this past weekend was the fact Valiev also returned to lineup after missing the first 12 games of the season due to a lower-body injury. That was reason enough for the smooth-skating 19-yearold Russian to smile Monday afternoon. “I was excited [to be back],” Valiev said prior to practice. “It was a little bit hard on the ice. It can be hard after surgery when you come back. You feel a little bit tired and slow, but I’m trying to be a good player. “[You feel] sad when your teammates are all playing and we start not real well. It’s hard to see when the boys are losing. You want to help.” After winning the first two games on their home schedule, the Kootenay Ice have since dropped two in a row in Cranbrook, the most re-

cent a 9-2 setback to the Calgary Hitmen Friday night. A 4-3 loss in Spokane on Saturday dropped the Ice to a WHL-worst 3-11-0-0 mark through 14 games. With the 6-foot-2, 208-pound Russian rearguard back in the lineup, the Ice open a six-game home stand tonight at 7 p.m. when the Prince Albert Raiders visit Western Financial Place for the first time this season. “He’s an unbelievable defenceman,” said forward Luke Philp Monday afternoon. “He plays in all situations. He moves the puck really well. That helps us get on the attack through our transition game and through breakouts.” Valiev posted five goals and 28 points in 55

games last season, grabbing the attention of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, who drafted the native of Nizhnekamsk, Russia in the third round (68th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. He showed his value on the offensive side of the puck Saturday night in Spokane, earning his first point of the season with a secondary assist on Matt Alfaro’s third-period goal. With a captain yet to be named, Valiev joins Philp and forward Jaedon Descheneau, each sporting an ‘A’ on their sweaters. “We need to work hard as a team,” Valiev said. “Like usual, [if we] play hard, listen to coach [Ryan McGill], we’re going to be fine.”

Kootenay Ice defenceman Rinat Valiev (left) celebrates with forward Luke Philp (right) last season. The Russian rearguard returned to the Ice lineup this past weekend and hopes to help turn things around on the team’s six-game homestand. Listening to coach Ryan McGill seems to have been a struggle for the Kootenay Ice through the opening stretch of the season. After a 5-0 setback Oct. 22 in Saskatoon, the Ice bench boss said it was his players’ deviation from the game plan that cost the team. With two more losses chalked up since then, the question remains as to why this team doesn’t seem interested in following the directions of the coach for a full 60 minutes. “We’ve had certain guys show up for certain nights and we need ev-

Giants & Royals set for wild World Series finish Antonio Gonz alez Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey was annoyed. Playfully so. The Giants catcher wanted Madison Bumgarner to do more than barely break a smile after a brilliant pitching performance put San Francisco one win from another World Series title. No way, Buster. Because in this post-season full of stars and surprises, who knows? Heck, Bumgarner might still have more work to do. Baseball took its final break Monday before the Giants and Royals settle things. Holding a 3-2 edge, San Francisco will try to claim its third championship in five years Tuesday night

when the wild-card matchup resumes at Kansas City. “We’re trying to grind this thing out, the way we have for what feels like forever now,” Jake Peavy, who starts Game 6 for the Giants, said before Monday night’s workout at Kauffman Stadium. “Not even sure of the date, the day. Doesn’t matter.” The day off gave fans a chance to savour what they’d already seen in the past month, and there was plenty — the success of Bumgarner, Lorenzo Cain and Yusmeiro Petit, the struggles of Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout and Detroit’s aces, a rack of tight games and one that went 18 innings. “Clayton who? Mad-

Bum!” one man yelled as he exited AT&T Park after the Giants won 5-0 Sunday night. Could be a lot more cooking in this October oven, too. Maybe Ned Yost even had it right. “Oh, man, somewhere inside of me, secretly I had hoped that it would go seven games for the excitement and the thrill of it,” the Kansas City manager said after a loss in Game 4. “Sure looks that way.” Perhaps it’s only fitting this Fall Classic ends at Kauffman Stadium, a place hosting playoff baseball for the first time in 29 years. The Royals started this pulsating post-season at home with a 9-8 comeback win in 12 innings over Oak-

land in the AL wild-card game, a thriller that began on the last day of September and nearly stretched into October. That captivating night in Kansas City set the stage for a month to remember: dramatic finishes, favourites falling and underdogs overachieving, stars slipping and new ones shining. What happens next is anybody’s guess. After all, the last time Game 6 of the World Series came to Kansas City, one of the most surreal scenes in baseball history unfolded: first base umpire Don Denkinger’s botched call serving as the signature moment of the 1985 World Series won by the Royals over St. Louis. “We know we can do

eryone showing up every night,” Philp said. “You can’t win in this league if you just have a couple lines going or a couple players going. We need more out of a lot of guys. “I think guys are ultimately working hard. But sometimes if you’re just working, it doesn’t work out. You’ve got to follow the systems in play. Play the game the coaches have designed us to play so we can have success against the other team. If you stray from that, if one guy doesn’t do his job, it makes it that much harder for the other guys.”

Philp, Valiev and the Ice will look to turn things around tonight against the Raiders. The two teams previously met Oct. 21 in Prince Albert, with the home team squeaking out a 3-2 victory courtesy of 19-year-old Jayden Hart’s third-period winner. “They’re a hard-working team,” Philp said. “We know we had a battle against them when we were in P.A. the other week.” Notes: After returning to the lineup for two games this weekend, F Tim Bozon is day-to-day

with a lower-body injury…F Jon Martin is still nursing an upper-body injury of his own and expected to miss one more week…F River Beattie tallied his first-career WHL goal back on Oct. 21 when the Raiders and Ice met in Prince Albert…Former Ice F Sam Reinhart earned his first-career NHL point with an assist in the Buffalo Sabres’ 2-1 win Saturday at San Jose…Former Ice G Mackenzie Skapski earned his first-career AHL shutout in a 3-0 win over the Norfolk Admirals Oct. 26...

it,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “We’re a confident group. But we can’t do anything without winning Game 6. We’re excited to get back home where we feed off the fans and that energy.” Royals rookie Yordano Ventura starts against the veteran Peavy — not exactly the matchup many would’ve predicted in April. But the majors’ most notable names during the regular season — Dodgers ace Kershaw and Angels slugger Trout — flamed out in the Division Series. A trio of Cy Young winners didn’t do enough for Detroit. Injuries slowed down former Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers and Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright. Playoff-proven starter Jon Lester looked lost under October’s bright

lights for the one-anddone Athletics. Up-andcoming starter Stephen Strasburg showed he still has to polish his post-season poise for the Nationals. These playoffs bred a new batch of baseball darlings: Cain and the running Royals, starter-turned-reliever Petit and a pair of blazing bullpens no longer overlooked. Of course, no star has burned brighter than a 25-year-old lefty from North Carolina, the one who peeved Posey with his tempered postgame reaction. Bumgarner’s dominant performances in Game 1 and Game 5 — not to mention in every previous round — has put San Francisco one win away from another parade down Market Street, something Willie Mays, Barry Bonds and

generations of Giants fans dreamed of. Now it’s becoming an every-other-year tradition. And if the Giants don’t win Game 6, there’s always a chance Bumgarner could emerge from the bullpen to help out in Game 7. Royals rookie Brandon Finnegan might understand the topsy-turvy nature of these playoffs better than anyone. Only four months after he pitched in the College World Series, the 21-year-old reliever got two key outs in the seventh inning as Kansas City won Game 3. A night later, Finnegan failed to bridge the gap to the back end of the bullpen, allowing five runs in an 11-4 loss to San Francisco. “Baseball can pick you up quickly,” Finnegan said, “and hit you in the gut quickly.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: When I was a teenager, one of my cousins tried to molest me when we were at our grandmother’s house. He tried to force a kiss on me and said because I was older, I should learn about sex and teach it to him. I fought him off. I was afraid to tell our grandmother, because she would have been so upset. Grandma is gone now. The problem is, this cousin told his parents I tried to molest him. Consequently, they have treated me terribly. His mother told me she didn’t want me around her daughter because I might hurt her. She is nasty and belligerent around me, even now. I don’t like that they have repeated this false accusation to other relatives, telling them I am a bad person. I don’t think talking to my cousin would get me anywhere. Should I speak to my uncle about what happened, even at this point in time? -- Concerned Dear Concerned: We hope you have told your parents, as well as your aunt and uncle, the truth about this accusation. It’s not uncommon for young cousins to “practice” on each other, and it’s very likely that your overly hormonal cousin was embarrassed by your reaction and blamed you to deflect his own culpability. It’s also understandable that his parents would believe him, especially if you didn’t tell your side of the story at the time. If your cousin is an adult now, he might be more amenable to taking responsibility for his actions, especially if you approach him without blame, simply asking him to do the right thing and help you clear this up. Dear Annie: My wife and I are in our late 50s, married for 30 years, and we have no children. Several years ago, the issue of wills came up. We had different opinions on the way our estate should be divided. The end result is, we still don’t have wills or trusts set up. I think half of the estate should go to my side of the family and half to hers. She thinks more should go to her family because there are more of them. The nieces and nephews on her side are not doing as well financially as those on my side of the family. She also has earned a larger income for most of our marriage, and I’m certain it factors into her thinking, even if she won’t voice it. I don’t believe that should even be part of the argument. I’m of the opinion that a marriage is a 50/50 proposition, and this should be no different. My inheritance from my parents went right into our account with no question, and we always have had shared bank accounts. What do you think? -- John Dear John: You’re missing one small reality: Unless you and your wife die together, one of you will inherit from the other, at which point, the deciding vote belongs to the surviving spouse. Please consult with an attorney who specializes in estate law and can help you sort through the “yours, mine, ours” aspect of your assets and distribute them in the most equitable way. Dear Annie: The recent letters you’ve printed about children being disruptive in church have prompted me to offer a different view. Several years ago, I was fortunate to be in a church service (Lutheran) in Mexico, and there I saw an entirely different approach. The children were allowed to wander freely around the sanctuary, run up and down the aisles, and, well, be children. Yes, they made a little noise, but not that much, and they were actually happy to be in church, rather than viewing it as something to be endured. Maybe it’s not the children who are the problem, but the adults who have unrealistic expectations of how children should behave. Should we not all “make a joyful noise”? -An Old Grouch Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

mart newspapers today recognize they can run a very proď&#x192;&#x17E;table business by providing relevant, entertaining and innovative ideas and content. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not miss the point, eitherâ&#x20AC;?, says Bill McDonald, group publisher of Metro English Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe there are some trends in place that show some declines in some areas. But newspapers still deliver a massive audience in every city across the country. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not changing. The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no other medium with that kind of reach in one day.â&#x20AC;? In fact, threequarters of Canadians (13.9 million) read a printed edition of daily newspaper each week, according to NADbank readership data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change one crucial factâ&#x20AC;?, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daily newspapers offer the same beneď&#x192;&#x17E;ts they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly. Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizeable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a set of qualities very few other media can match.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Major pubishers and media buyers agreeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; strong readership ď&#x192;&#x17E;gures are testament to improved product.

Ghomeshi lawsuit against CBC alleges breach of confidence, defamation

Teen sent text invite for lunch to students, then shot them at table Associated Press

MARYSVILLE, Wash. — Investigators say that a gunman responsible for a shooting at a Washington state high school invited his victims to lunch by text message. Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary told a news conference Monday the five students were all at a lunch table when they were shot by 15-yearold Jaylen Fryberg on Friday. Trenary also confirmed that the

.40-calibre handgun used in the shooting had been legally purchased by one of Fryberg’s relatives. It remains unclear how Fryberg obtained the weapon. Two 14-year-old girls were killed, and three students remain hospitalized. Fryberg also killed himself. Trenary said that while a teacher tried to intervene, she did not have any physical contact with the gunman before he killed himself.

TORONTO — Lawyers for radio star Jian Ghomeshi have launched their promised lawsuit against the CBC, alleging breach of confidence, bad faith and defamation by the public broadcaster. Ghomeshi is seeking $55 million from the CBC, according to the lawsuit, plus special damages. The suit says “the claim is the result of the CBC misusing personal and confidential information provided to it in confidence and under common interest privilege.”

On Sunday, the CBC said it was severing ties with Ghomeshi, because of “information” it had received about him. Lawyers from Dentons Canada LLP then announced their intention to sue the CBC. Shortly after that, Ghomeshi posted a long Facebook message saying he had been fired by the public broadcaster for his “sexual behaviour.” In the Facebook post, Ghomeshi said he was open with the CBC about his sexual behaviour, after he became aware that a freelance writer was looking into allegations that he’d engaged in “abusive relations.” Ghomeshi said in the post that he only engages in sexual practices

Jian Ghomeshi that are “mutually agreed upon” and “consensual.” The lawsuit alleges that the CBC misused “personal and confidential information provided to it in confidence.” It also says that Ghomeshi was not aware that the CBC was continuing to conduct an investigation into the matter or that the information would be used

as basis for his dismissal. “Mr. Ghomeshi would not have shared information about his private life with the CBC, had he appreciated that the CBC would ultimately use the information provided to it to terminate his employment,” says the suit. The suit goes on to say the “conduct of the CBC has negatively impacted and will continue to impact Mr. Ghomeshi’s public reputation and future employment and other opportunities.” There is no real limit to the damages a person can claim. A CBC spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.

AMERICAN FALLS, Idaho — A portion of a Columbian mammoth skull and tusks have been uncovered in Idaho, and experts say a rare entire skeleton might be buried there. Experts estimate the mammoth was about 16 years old and lived about 70,000 to 120,000 years ago in what was a savanna-like country populated with large herbivores and predators. The skeleton was spotted by a fossil hunter earlier this month near Ameri-

Mary Thompson, Idaho Museum of Natural History collections manager and university instructor, says they built a barrier to keep the fossil in place while underwater. Workers plan to go back next summer when the reservoir drops.

The International Space Station has to sidestep a piece of junk on the same day that a Virginia company is sending fresh supplies. NASA says debris from an old, wrecked Russian satellite was due to come dangerously close to the orbiting lab Monday afternoon — a gap of just two-tenths of a mile. To keep the station and its six inhabitants safe, the station was going to manoeuvre well out of harm’s way.

Mission Control says the move won’t affect Monday evening’s planned launch of a commercial supply ship. Orbital Sciences Corp.’s unmanned Cygnus capsule holds 5,000 pounds of cargo, including mini research satellites. Liftoff is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. (2245 GMT) from Wallops Island, Virginia. The launch, coming a half-hour after sunset, should be visible along much of the Eastern Seaboard.
