EXTREME HUNTRESS

Dalke tested with archery challenge TRE VOR CR AWLEY

The ladies were back out on the range in Texas, as the fourth episode of Extreme Huntress aired this past weekend. Although Nikita Dalke wasn’t hunting, she partnered up with fellow competitor Erika Bergmark, who was searching for a four-horned Jacob sheep. All six of the Extreme Huntress competitors also participated in an archery challenge with a traditional recurve bow. The episode began with

South Africa’s Margaret Botha, who was on the hunt for an Iranian red sheep, but she was unable to find her specific animal out on the 777 Ranch pastures. Back at the ranch, Dalke resumed a segment of anit-hunting abuse, where she had to respond to hostile statements about hunters and their motivations. This time, one of the judges questioned how fair it was for the animals to be hunted with the kind of weaponry available now.

Joe Pierre, left, from the Ktunaxa Nation, and student Raven Fisher, right, raised the traditional seven feathered eagle feather staff, the symbol of the Ktunaxa, as others from the Nation drummed on an elk raw hide drum.

Symphony at the head of the classics Inaugural Symphony of the Kootenays concert features heavyweight works from the likes of Sibelius and Dvorak

Barry Coulter

The Symphony of the Kootenays launched its new season with a dynamic concert at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook, Saturday, Oct. 25. Among the many notable aspects of the concert was the fact that it was the largest ever gathering of musicians the Symphony had ever featured — 49, including Artistic and Music Direct Jeff Faragher. The theme of the concert was “From Old Worlds To New,” and featured a trio of powerful classical works that drew on folk-music traditions. First on the bill was the symphonic poem “Finlandia (Opus 26), composed by Jean Sibelius in 1899 as a covert protest against increasing censorship in Finland from the Russian Empire, and the composer’s most famous composition. The piece featured the entire orchestra.

Following “Finlandia,” the Symphony’s string section took the stage as a chamber orchestra, to play the wonderful Holberg Suite by Norwegian Edvard Grieg, a suite of five movements based on 18th century dance forms. After the intermission, the entire orchestra performed Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 (“From the New World”). This powerful work, the composer’s most famous, featured themes derived from Native American and African-American music the composer heard during a trip to America. Close to 400 attended the season’s inaugural concert. The Symphony’s next performance takes place Saturday, Dec. 6, at the Key City Theatre in Cranbrook. “A Celtic Christmas” will feature the Symphony of the Kootenays accompanying Celtic harpist and singer

a year’s hiatus under Faragher’s baton. One disappointment for the organization this year is the absence of concerts in other Kootenay communities such as Nelson and Invermere. Symphony President Ian Adams says this is due to scheduling conflicts in these communities and funding issues, and that the Symphony’s Board of Directors is looking at ways to increase performances

around the region. Among other highlights of the evening, Adams noted “the French Horn section was as good as I’ve heard the Symphony of the Kootenays. And the strings brought Holberg Suite to life. Jeff Faragher brought out the best in all of them. In particular, the ‘fiddling competition’ between violinist Wendy Herbison and violist Graham Tagg was so lively. Anne

Scott’s solo cello parts were amazing, and when joined by the rest of the cellos the passages were beautiful.” Adams also noted the solo woodwind passages throughout the Dvorak symphony, and the excellence of the double bass section — “three people who rarely get much recognition, I’m always amazed at the intensity of the sound three instruments can produce.”

600 turn out to see candidates in action JCI Kootenay all-candidates forum, Oct. 29, Key City Theatre BARRY COULTER

here must be something especially compelling about Cranbrook’s municipal election of 2014. Perhaps it’s the large number and variety of candidates running for City Council. Perhaps it’s the different visions lining up on different sides, seeking election or re-election to public office. In any case, for the first time in many years, in many elections, an all-candidates forum at the Key City Theatre was packed — around 600 people turned out to see the candidates on display and hear what they had to say for themselves. Wednesday evening’s event was ably organized and hosted by JCI Kootenay. COTR President David Walls served as moderator. He and JCI event chairpersons Jenny Byford and Alton Valler offered some opening remarks before introducing the Council candidate portion of the evening. The record number of 16 candidates sat and answered questions in the order the candidates would appear on the ballot on Nov. 15. That order is: Danielle Cardozo, Isaac Hockley, Sharon Cross, Brad Scriver, Bob Faiers, Diana J. Scott, Alan MacBean, Wesly Graham, Tom Shypitka, Anna Hudson, Brian Kostiuk, James Elliott, Norma Blissett, Lynn MacIntosh, Gerry Warner and Ron Popoff. They were to take turns answering two prepared questions, then respond to questions selected from the audience (the responder to these latter drawn by lot, with two other candidates given the opportunity for rebuttal). Space constraints in these pages prevent the Townsman on reporting in detail on the answers, but with a large number of candidates, the time allotted for each answer was necessarily short. They only had a minute or two to make an impression on the large audience, put themselves on display and give out a thumbnail portrait of their personalities, their plans, their achievements and the cut of their jib. It was great entertainment, good political theatre, and by and large everyone acquitted themselves with confidence and clarity. Certain recurrent motifs appeared through the course

Ladies and gentlemen, your 2014 Cranbrook Municipal Election candidates. Right to left: Danielle Cardozo, Isaac Hockley, Sharon Cross, Brad Scriver, Bob Faiers, Diana J. Scott, Alan MacBean, Wesly Graham, Tom Shypitka, Anna Hudson, Brian Kostiuk, James Elliott (at microphone), Norma Blissett, Lynn MacIntosh, Gerry Warner and Ron Popoff. At far left is forum moderator David Walls, President of the College of the Rockies. of the segment. Economic and development and infrastructure were the common terms cited by most candidates. The edifice known as Western Financial Place, and $3.5 million deficit a year it operates under, came up quite often. Questions included how to encourage young adults to stay in the community, the stance on deer culls, how to attract new business and industry, attracting and growing business in the community, what would one do to improve the roads, what community involvement one had been in before this election campaign, do you support getting rid of the height restrictions so taller buildings could be built in Cranbrook, what to do about all the invasive weeds, what taxation strategies should the city adopt, what to do about the public transit situation, or the old fire hall. How does one address the issue of outof-town companies getting the winning bid on local projects put out to tender. Many of the answers came from the candidates own platforms, presented throughout the night in abbreviated form for the audience. Fair enough. It was enough to give a good insight into the their campaigns. Candidates were given one minute at the segment’s end to make a final statement. Ron Popoff spoke of his experience as Health Inspector and his extensive volunteerism, and how he was used to working with government. Gerry Warner, seeking his second term on Council, spoke of the initiative and independence he’s shown as

Councillor on his first term. Norma Blissett said a variety of citizens were needed for council, so all citizens were represented. She described herself as decisive and approachable, “who will listen and bring your concerns to Council.” James Elliott, longtime city worker, said “all I can offer is knowledge. It took me 30 years to get it and I have it to give. And I can save money.” Brian Kostiuk, who’s running on a traffic safety platform, said he would only vote yes on matters that make common sense or fiscal sense, without raising taxes. Anna Hudson cited her experience in post-secondary education, and described herself as a educated, democratic and multi-dimensional person. Tom Shypitka said currently a collaborative approach is lacking council. Synergistic communication is needed, he said, not polarizing differencess. Alan MacBean praised all the candidates for running. He made the suggestion that councillors give back half their salaries to the city, to be used to help get young people engaged in the community, perhaps by hiring someone to coordinate with them. Diana J. Scott stressed to experience and knowledge after two previous terms, and her engagement with residents as more than a one-issue person. Brad Scriver reiterated his focus on economic growth and affordable housing. “If business in Cranbrook does well, Cranbrook does well.” Sharon Cross, seeking a

second term, stood on her balanced approach as a councillor — the economy, social well-being, the environment and arts, culture and heritage, and her plans for attracting physicians and developing a local greenhouse industry. Isaac Hockley spoke of the events he’s created and organized as a demonstration of his managerial acumen. He also said if elected he knew how to lower the deficit on Western Financial Place. Danielle Cardozo, running on platform of economic development, said she would lead by example and that Council need to have all sorts of differing points of view. *** The crowd at the Key City Theatre had thinned out somewhat by the time the second half of the evening rolled around, but there were still 300 plus in attendence to hear the mayoral candidates’ forum. Lined up at the table on stage were Wayne Stetski and Lee Pratt, one on one side, with John York in the middle. The format was roughly the same as the candidates forum, with candidates answering an opening prepared question (“Why would you be a great mayor or leader for the City of Cranbrook. Help us understand your vision for the city by describing your two highest priorities for change and how you plan to address them?”) Lee Pratt said the current council had made some poor decisions, especially fiscally. He spoke of his 45 years of business experience, financial sense and deci-

sion-making skills. Financial responsibility and economic development would be his priorities. “Budgets have be be set on a needs basis, not a wants basis,” he said. Pratt said he would develop a new plan for economic development, including working with the business community, COTR, CBT and the provincial government. John York said again he was running on transparency and reducing debt. “If elected, I will personally renegotiate the debt, to free up money, to make this place (Cranbrook) look the best it should.” Western Financial Place, and it’s deficit, was a recurrent theme for York throughout the evening. Incumbent mayoral candidate Wayne Stetski spoke of his proven record “of being there for you.” He spoke of a number of “firsts” Cranbrook has experienced, including Habitat For Humanity, the Multi-cultural Festival, the Barriers to Business initiative, and others. Stetski had plans to expand the economy and capitalize on the city’s assets, including solar and greenhouse sectors, packaging the tourism industry, and expanding arts and culture. Two other prepared questions followed (“Would you allocate more money [to fixing roads] and if so where would you get the funds?,” and “Cranbrook’s economy and growth: How do you find it’s doing and what would you do to improve it?”). This set up Pratt squaring off against Stetski, with York in the middle often getting laughs from the audience with his answers.

Stetski and Pratt had statistics at hand to prove their respective points. Stetski saying Cranbrook’s economy was expanding, Pratt saying it was stagnant. York said “government and the people should be sharing ideas, not government doing what it wants.” Questions from the audience concerned: deer culls, what would you do to progress the arts and culture community, how do you feel about roundabouts, how do you feel about fluoridation in the water, bylaw enforcement, what to do about unsightly or unsafe property, City reserve funds, and youth engagement. As before, candidates were offered two minutes to make a last statement (in reverse ballot order). “I have a proven track record of getting things done, Stetski said. “If you ask me to do something, and I agree to do it, it gets done. The city is more than the economy and roads,” he added. “Running on one or two issues is short-sighted, quite frankly.” John York said again he was running on transparency and reducing debt. Nothing will ever get done behind your back.” He cited his efforts towards election ballot security and getting the issue of fluoridation on the referendum ballot. Lee Pratt said while he had never been a member of any special interest group, he had “a true and sincere interest to serve the people of Cranbrook.” If elected he would bring his business experience, his work ethic and his financial skills to bear to make Cranbrook a more prosperous place.

There is very much a difference in the shooting styles between the two different types of bows. “I shoot a compound bow, so I’m used to a compound,” said Dalke. “When we picked up the recurve, you could tell which girls shoot compound bow, because you automatically go into a natural stance when you’re shooting one. “With a recurve, it’s a totally different stance.” Despite having never picked up a bow before, Bergmark won the competition, putting three arrows into the target.

My name is Don Flowers and I am running for Electoral Area C Director. I am retired after working on oil rigs, logging, construction and managing homes for young offenders and for community living. I have been involved in agriculture most of my life and still farm. By inclination, training and necessity, I am a fiscal conservative and this is what pushed me to run. RDEK decisions, such as Jumbo, have left taxpayers on the hook for millions including paying for a council for a phantom community. Subdivisions, such as ones in Jim Smith Lake, Wardner and Mayook, are being approved without consideration of infrastructure costs, the cumulative effect of subdivisions on the community or environmental impact. In effect, this leaves all of us subsidizing developers. It is not acceptable to leave the veto to the Agricultural Land Commission or to Transportation when it is our communities being affected. Short term, these decisions may have a positive effect economically. Long term they will place an increased burden on rate payers. They create a strain on our roads, our school district for bussing, our forest fire interface zone and the integrity of local communities. More long term planning needs to be done

EDITORIAL

What colour is the national mood ring?

fter an emotional week in politics, let us all hope that life can return to normal — although maybe with 50 per cent less vitriol and backstabbing. In any event, MPs are back to work, and the political life of the nation goes on. Let’s check up on tidbits from across the country, shall we? What colour is the mood ring? Here’s an interesting one. An independent study has found that when communicating with taxpayers, Revenue Canada is often indecipherable, sometimes threatening, and full of gobbledegook. Gobbledegook is the scientific term used by a New York-based consulting firm, which conducted the study. I think it means piffle, twaddle or poppycock. Now having myself been the recipient of such a letter, informing me I was about to have the pleasure of being scre.. uh, audited, I can only say I agree with the study’s findings. Especially the threatening part. The tone of the letter was ‘we have finally caught up with you, cheating infidel, and now you will pay’. It was not a nice letter. And after finally figuring out all that this particular tax agent required, I sent all the information in and was promptly denied my tax return and told I owed Revenue Canada money. That letter was pretty clear. All claims denied. Good times. Can’t wait for tax time to roll around again, although apparently Revenue Canada has promised to clean up their act by February. We’ll see. My personal mood ring on this is still the

darkest black. Over in Manitoba, Premier Greg Selinger can only be referred to as embattled. And it’s not just the opposition trying to bring him down. Half of Selinger’s NDP caucus wants him gone as well. Selinger’s misfortune comes about because he raised the provincial sales tax and the populace is not impressed. It is interesting, in the topsy-turvy (there’s another of those scientific terms) world of politics, how sometimes something like a one percent rise in the sales tax can bring a career to an end and at other times the voting public shrug it off. Just depends on the mood of the day I guess. Manitoba’s mood ring is also dark this week.

Carolyn Grant Also interesting was the Toronto mayoral election, with the results proving polls correct. John Tory took the win. Not surprising. He came across as sober and competent, which was a change Torontonians were no doubt looking for. What perplexes me is that Doug Ford came second, leaving Olivia Chow in the dust. I just do not comprehend that at all. I mean, even if you lean right politically, Doug Ford? In some ways

he comes across even worse than his brother, the former Mayor. Bullying behaviour, blind allegiance to his brother no matter what, he was a loose cannon at Toronto City Hall often dropping bombs to the press before his brother the Mayor was even aware of them. Yet he beat Olivia Chow, with her long political resume, by 10 percentage points. Toronto’s continuing love affair with the Fords remains a mystery to me. In fact, I wonder if Rob Ford hadn’t had his very unfortunate health diagnosis, if we wouldn’t be looking at four more years of Mayor Rob Ford? A perplexing city. Thankfully, I do not live there and therefore will not have to explain how this all came about. Toronto’s mood ring is a confusing mix of contradictory colours. Closer to home, it appears that some of the promised LNG windfall is going to have to wait. British oil and gas producer BG Group PLC says it will possibly be ten years before it goes ahead with a liquefied natural-gas export terminal in Prince Rupert. The company says the timing isn’t right, which I think is the business-world equivalent of “it’s not you, it’s me”. Eighteen LNG terminals have been proposed for BC and none have got the go ahead. For a government that ran on promises of LNG riches this is not good news. LNG was to carry us to great wealth and prosperity and now the timing isn’t right. I think the mood ring on LNG just went from rosy to dark blue.

Opinion/Events

Three elections offer hope for the future What’s Up? L ast Sunday was a busy day: three elections, in three different continents, all of them offering at least the hope of better times. First, Brazil, where President Dilma Rousseff eked out a second-round victory with 51.6 percent of the votes versus 48.4 percent for the challenger, Aecio Neves. But Neves was quick to acknowledge her victory, and she was equally prompt in admitting that things had to change. “Sometimes in history, close outcomes trigger results more quickly than ample victories,” she said. Most people took that as an admission that she will have to give more attention to growing the economy and a little less to redistributing the proceeds. This will not come easily to her, for the great project of the Workers’ Party (PT) under both Rousseff and her iconic predecessor Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva has been to raise the living standards of poor Brazilians. They have done very well at it, but there was a cost. The overall economy grew fast when “Lula” was in office, but it has slowed almost to a stall under Rousseff. That is not surprising, for it is hard to persuade business to invest when you are busy redistributing income. Now Dilma will have to change her priorities and encourage business – without surrendering the improvements in the lives of the poor. She seems to understand that, and if she can succeed in entrenching those changes while reviving the economy then she really will have changed Brazil for good. The voters have given her another four years to work on it, and that may be enough.

Secondly, Ukraine. The killing in the south-east has tailed off – only 300 dead in sporadic clashes around Donetsk in almost two months since the ceasefire, compared to 3,400 in the previous four and a half months – and the new frontier with the pro-Russian breakaway areas has solidified. That, plus the Russian annexation of Crimea, excluded some three million people from the vote, but for 36 million other registered voters the election went off quite peacefully.

Gwynne Dyer The result was a landslide. “More than three-quarters of voters who took part in the polls gave strong and irreversible backing to Ukraine’s path to Europe,” President Petro Poroshenko told a news conference in Kiev. With half the ballots counted, his own Solidarity Party and the People’s Front led by his ally, former prime minister Arseny Yatseniuk, each had 21.5 percent of the vote, with another pro-European party, Self Help, winning 11 percent. Ukraine is not out of the woods. Russia can turn up the fighting again, or just keep its gas exports turned off and condemn the country to a grim winter. The economy is still shrinking and jobs are disappearing fast. But at least Ukraine will now have a government that is both legitimate

and more or less united. Last but not least, Tunisia, the country where the Arab Spring began – and just about the only one where it did not fail. The surprise there was that the secular Nidaa Tounes Party (Tunisia’s Call), formed only last year, out-polled the Ennahda Party, a moderate Islamist party that led the first post-revolutionary coalition government. Some kind of coalition will still be necessary, as neither party won half the seats in parliament, and it may be a broad coalition that includes them both. But there is a lesson here for Egypt, although it comes a bit late. As a member of Ennahda’s political bureau told the BBC, “This result is fine. I am not really surprised. Governments that are leading during a political transition are often punished at the polls.” Egypt threw away its democracy last year, only one year after the Muslim Brotherhood, a moderate Islamist party, won the first free election after the Egyptian revolution. President Mohamed Morsi was less tactful and more eager to impose his Islamic project on the country than Ennahda’s leaders, but he was not doing anything that would be irreversible after another election. In Egypt, as in Tunisia, a second election would probably have seen the Islamist party evicted from power; all the disappointed secular leaders of the revolution had to do was wait. Instead, they made an alliance with the army to overthrow Morsi – and now the army rules the country again. Elections are messy, divisive affairs, but they are far better than any of the alternatives.

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of October 26 – November 1 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1898 An Editor Travels … The man who has lived in South East Kootenay and failed to take the trip from Cranbrook to Macleod, has been derelict in his duty to himself and his country. The Crows Nest Pass line is destined to be the scenic route across western Canada, and in the years that are to follow the completion of this road thousands will sing paeans of praise on the grand panorama presented to view along that line. From the time when you leave the yards at Cranbrook, where one catches fleeting glimpses of the ranges of both the Selkirks and the Rockies, until the train rolls onto the great plain where the town of Macleod is located, it is one continuous display of mountain scenery that is grand and sublime. Wrong Lot Solved …J. T. Forrest, who arrived in Cranbrook the latter part of last week, soon straightened out the tangle caused by occupying

a wrong lot for his hotel building, by purchasing the property, and immediately resumed work on the structure. The lot upon which Mr. Forrest erected his hotel building through mistake, has been purchased by that gentleman for $600, an advance of 100 per cent over the original purchase price. Females Only … Everybody knows that the school trustees have advertised for a teacher, but everybody does not know that no males need apply. Bridge Needed …A bridge is sadly needed across the big ditch on the way to Mr. Baker’s. The residents of that part of the town and the mill people are put to much unnecessary inconvenience by having to wade shin deep when they want to come down town. Lost … On road between Cranbrook and Fort Steele, Tuesday, October 18, a lady’s blue serge cape. Finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving same at the Cranbrook Hotel. Shotgun Accident … Mr. S. McLean was brought to Cranbrook yesterday from Baker Bottoms on the Kootenay River, with a badly shattered left hand, caused by the explosion of a shotgun. Mr. McLean was

after coyotes, and by some mistake his gun had received a double charge and when fired the barrel burst where the left hand grasped it. He was brought to this place as soon as possible and placed in the hands of Doctor Archibald and Druggist Beattie. Chloroform was administered and the wound dressed. The hand is badly shattered but the doctor thinks it can be saved. 1899 “The Emporium”… See our furs. New dress goods and trimmings to match. Complete line ladies’ and gent’s gloves, mitts, new stock rubbers, overshoes and gum boots, Ladies’ Dolge felt slippers. Try our Orange, Pekoe and Gunpowder tea. Quality the best, prices right. Sherlock & Bremner. Held the Bondsman ... The case against Walter Turnbull, charged with taking $100 from the stocking of one Pearl Ransom in this city a few months ago, was called in Nelson last week. Constable Barnes had the complaining witness in court, but the defendant was missing, having discovered that the climate of South East Kootenay was injurious to his health. He had given bonds in the sum of $500, and the court

held his bondsmen for the amount. Pay Rolls … The pay rolls in Cranbrook now aggregate over $ 15,000. That is a pretty good item to carry a town through the natural dullness of a winter season. Outrage … Cranbrook has over one hundred children of school age, and only one school room and one teacher. It is an outrage to permit such a condition of affairs. Post Office Times …After November 1st the post office will not be opened on Sunday. Postmaster Beattie says that six days in one week is enough for any man. 1900 Horses Frightened … Last Friday, when the Indian band was marching past the livery stables, a team belonging to James Ryan, which was tied inside of the barn, became frightened and created a little excitement. One of the horses was badly cut, and the rigs lightly damaged. New School House ... A. D. Grant was the successful bidder for the contract to build the new school, and work was commenced last Monday morning.

Charity Challenge Boxing a total knockout Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Charity Boxing Challenge was a total knockout in its second year at Eagles Hall Oct. 25. After raising more than $20,000 for local families in need in its first year, the local charity boxing event has smashed that mark. With donations still coming in, the event has raised $28,494 as of 4 p.m. on Oct. 29. “I’m absolutely blown away,” said organizer Tom White Wednesday afternoon. “I can’t believe the crowd that we had open their wallets. It was just amazing. We had some guys that were bidding on two, three and four items. Thank you, thank you, thank you to those guys and the guys who stepped up and jumped into the ring to raise money. That was awesome of them, too.” White, along with three others, comprise a panel that determine

how funds will be distributed within the community. If you know a family or person in need, you are encouraged to contact Tom White at tom@freightlinercbk. com. Nominations are still being accepted. Those in attendance were treated to an electrifying night of boxing, which first featured 14 amateur bouts prior to five charity bouts between local tough guys and tough gals. As the host, the local Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club welcomed the Calgary Southpaw Boxing Club, Salmon Arm Bulldogs Boxing Club, Lethbridge Boxing Club, Nelson Boxing Club and the Cougar Boxing Club of Edmonton. Highlighting the night of amateur fights was a bout featuring local boxer Jared Luke and Kyle Woolman of the Southpaw Boxing Club. The pair of 75-kilo boxers went toe-to-toe in a fast-paced first round. A more methodi-

cal second round finished with a flurried exchange between the two. With the bout on the line in the third round, Luke and Woolman left it all in the ring, exchanging heavy blows. Woolman won the fight in a split decision, but at the end of the evening both fighters were acknowledged as having put forth the Best Bout of the Night. Woolman also took home the title of Best Youth Boxer. Triston MacWilliams, another Southpaw boxer, earned the Best Junior Boxer award for his second-round technical knockout of Lethbridge’s Thomas Beck. Salmon Arm’s Dan Gawley earned the title of Best Senior Boxer after scoring a firstround technical knockout of Lethbridge’s Ryley Ferguson. On the strength of two exhilarating performances forms Woolman and MacWilliam, Calgary’ Southpaw Boxing Club was recognized

with the Best Team Award. The much-anticipated return of Cranbrook boxer Brandon Luke was put on hold. Luke was slated to go up against Cougar Boxing Club’s Taha Rizvi, but an injury forced the Edmonton boxer out of action. Coach Bill Watson was able to pull together a last-minute exhibition match for Luke, who instead fought Fuji Blut of the Cougar Boxing Club. For Blut, it was his first time in an organized fight, while Luke had a perfect 6-0 record already under his belt. “[Brandon] was able to get some ring rust off,” Watson said Wednesday afternoon. “I was quite happy with his performance. I had to yell at him to back off a bit there because he was putting his combinations together and his opponent, being less experienced, just wasn’t prepared for it. “[Brandon] wanted to put on a good show.

Closing the evening was a handful of charity bouts, the first of which pitted the fast-firing Rothwell brothers, Trip and Chase, against one another. Mike Peabody and Joey Sandberg, of The Choice snowboard shop, followed up the brotherly bout with their own battle between best friends. Sue Eimer and Emma Jonsson went toe-to-toe, exchanging

Adorned in super-hero garb, complete with capes on his socks, White scored a victory for the minimites, taking down Kortschaga with a heavy uppercut. The blow slowed Kortschaga and for a brief moment, it appeared as though the officials were going to be forced to stop the bout. The final bout of the night matched Randy “The Moose” Rothwell against Steve “The Bulldog” Mercandelli. The two heavyweights battle for three feisty rounds

After Gregor Blanco misplayed Alex Gordon’s drive for a single and two-base error, Bumgarner got Salvador Perez to pop foul to third baseman Pablo Sandoval for the final out. The Giants ended a Series streak that had seen home teams win the last nine Game 7s. San Francisco took this pairing of wild-card teams after earning titles in 2012 and 2010. Pitching on two days’ rest after his shutout in Game 5, Bumgarner entered in the fifth with a 3-2 lead. After giving up a leadoff single to Omar Infante, he shut down the Royals.

Thunderstruck in Creston Valley Dynamiters dropped in double OT; G Tyson Brouwer lost to injury

TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters dropped a physical 4-3 decision to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in double overtime Wednesday night at Johnny Bucyk Memorial Arena. Thunder Cats forward Mason Mazur buried the winner with 3:04 remaining into the threeon-three overtime period, crashing in the crease of Tyson Brouwer. As the Thunder Cats celebrated their sixth

win of the KIJHL season, Brouwer was tended to by team officials before requiring the assistance of two others in order to leave the ice. While the overtime defeat to a divisional opponent could weigh heavily down the stretch, the potential loss of Brouwer could be even worse. According to Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks, Brouwer suffered a suspected MCL injury. He was being sent to hospital for further examination.

To make matters worse, Nitros backup goaltender Liam McBain is battling strep throat and isn’t expected to be available in time for Friday’s contest with the Osoyoos Coyotes. Brouwer wasn’t the only Dynamiter to go down in a heap over the course of Wednesday’s contest. Forward Coy Prevost tallied two assists in the first period before getting bowled over along the boards late in the third. He remained mo-

tionless on the ice before needing assistance to get to the visitors bench. Defenceman Jordan Busch came into the fray in defence of Prevost. After getting tagged with a fighting major during the final 10 minutes of the third period, it is expected Busch will be suspended for the next two games. The Nitros built a 3-0 lead late in the first period before surrounding four consecutive goals to the Thunder Cats. Brouwer was once again stellar between the pipes for the Dynamiters, turning aside 40 shots. At the other end, Brock Lefebvre grabbed the overtime win with a 27-save performance. Lost was another three-point performance from Tyson Klingspohn (2G, 1A), who leads the KIJHL with 17 goals in 16 games.

The Kootenay Ice have parted ways with 18-year-old defenceman Jordan Steenbergen. “It was a mutual parting of the ways,” said Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth. “He wasn’t going to be happy being a number-six, seven or eight defenceman or on the fourth line [as a] forward. “He wanted to play more and we couldn’t guarantee that. We reached a mutual decision to part ways.”

The move was announced via Twitter Wednesday morning. It is expected that Steenbergen will report to the Olds Grizzlys of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. According to Chynoweth, the Ice will retain Steenbergen’s WHL rights. Steenbergen played one full season in Cranbrook, tallying three assists in 49 games during the 2013-14 WHL campaign. “Thanks to the @ WHLKootenayICE for giving me an opportunity to play and be a part of this organization the last year and a half,” Steenbergen tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “And a huge thank you to my billets and teammates. I am very excited for what the future holds! #newbeginnings” The native of Sylvan Lake, Alta. was pointless

in 12 games to start the 2014-15 WHL season. A natural defenceman, the return of import blue liner Rinat Valiev saw Steenbergen shifted up to the Ice’s forward ranks. In last night’s 5-0 loss to the Prince Albert Raiders, Steenbergen began the game skating on left wing alongside Vince Loschiavo and Levi Cable. In 62 career WHL games, all with the Ice, Steenbergen registered three assists, a minus-seven rating and 86 penalty minutes. The Ice drafted the 6-foot, 192-pound defenceman in the third round (61st overall) of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft. The release reduces the Ice roster to 23, including 14 forwards, seven defencemen and two goaltenders.

Hockey Canada marks 100 years of stewardship at home & abroad Donna Spencer Canadian Press

CALGARY — While Canada has grown as a country over the last century, so to has it evolved as a hockey nation. Hockey Canada is marking 100 years of overseeing the sport domestically and producing teams for the world stage. Just a few weeks after Canada entered the First World War, a group of hockey executives met in Ottawa on Dec. 14, 1914, to establish the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association. Hockey runs like a bright thread through Canada’s timeline since then. The sport intertwines with pivotal events in the country’s history. Many a Canadian soldier left the ice for the

battlefield in both the First and Second World Wars. Many of those who returned continued to play or took on leadership as coaches and administrators. The same year Canada celebrated its centennial in 1967, the CAHA established its first national head office in Winnipeg. A year later, the CAHA became Hockey Canada with the mandate to manage Canada’s national hockey teams as well as develop the sport across the country. Hockey Canada will release the book “It’s Our Game” on Tuesday. The 399 pages of text and photos commemorate the last 100 years of the country’s triumphs, failures and dramas in hockey. “For me, the first 100 years, the legacy has to be our culture and how hockey has played a huge role in the fabric of our people, of our country, of our reputation world-wide,” Tom Renney, Hockey Canada’s president and CEO, said

Monday. “I think we’re deeply respected for our ability to play the game, to lead in terms of its development both domestically and abroad. “Beyond that, I think Canadians as citizens are looked at globally as being very special people and I think hockey’s had a lot to do with the development of those values.” As the birthplace of hockey, Canada took on the role of world leader in it. But it’s been the response to crisis that’s helped the country continue to claim ownership of it, Renney said. Canada may have won the 1972 Summit Series, but adopting some of the off-ice training methods of the former Soviet Union was necessary lest Canadians fall behind. National hockey summits were held when it was felt the sport was sliding off the rails. “I think Canada and its population are a humble people,” Renney said. “I think hockey gives us an opportunity

to sign our work if you will on the national and international stage as being very, very good at it. “That being said, I think the times we have tripped up have been very good to us. Because of that humility, we’ve embraced failure quite honestly and made ourselves better.” “It’s Our Game” (Viking, $39.95) is heavy on Canada’s performances at world championships and Winter Olympics in the century’s first half. It also incorporates the off-ice intrigue and skulduggery between countries during those early tournaments. The book expands in scope in the second half of the century when women’s hockey rose in profile and sledge hockey emerged alongside the Paralympic movement. Hockey Canada’s mission heading into the next century continues to be increasing participation in the game while also producing players for the sport’s

highest levels. Hockey Canada, with its headquarters now in Calgary, has just over 640,000 registered players, almost 100,000 coaches and another 32,000 officials. “What makes us special is we’re able to connect the dots from discovering the game in the first place and having a great deal of fun playing it, but also making an opportunity for people to follow one of two streams,” Renney said. “Play the recreational game for a lifetime and have an awful lot of fun doing that and still be the doctor, the bus driver, the lawyer, the teacher, whatever the case may be, but great Canadians, or you can find a way to play professional hockey with all those same attributes but make a living playing the game. I think that’s what really separates Canada apart from other countries.” The recent emphasis on player safety and concussions are the issues linking the end of Hock-

ey Canada’s first century with the start of the second. The advent of the hockey visor gets its own chapter in the book. “The protection of the player through equipment has come a long, long way obviously,” Renney said. “You can look at the photos of years gone by and just see how much protection they have now compared to back then. “The rules of the game and how they’re called are important, but of late especially, the attention to player safety is at the forefront from the little people in minor hockey all the way up to the National Hockey League. That’s quite significant.” Renney was named head of Hockey Canada in June after 16 years with Bob Nicholson at the helm. But Renney was also involved in the organization as a coach, on and off, for the last 22 years while he also coached in the NHL. He was head coach of the Canadian men when they operated as a

full-time team back in the 1990s. Their shootout loss to Sweden in the gold-medal game at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, is one of the hockey heartbreaks chronicled in the book. The ‘72 Summit Series, the 1987 Canada Cup, the Canadian junior team’s runs of golds and the women’s pitched battles with the U.S. are among the highlights. “There are so many. The ‘72 Summit Series was a watershed moment for all of us,” Renney said. “We all understand where we were and what we were doing at that time. The ‘87 Canada Cup was incredible with respect to the winning goal and how that whole series was played. “There’s been many, many more. One hundred years is an awful long time and for those of us who are kind of historians of the game as well and dig into the past so we can help identify with the future, it’s awfully tough to come up with one or two.”

The tournament will be hosted at Mount Baker Secondary School and College of the Rockies, with 20 of B.C.’s top secondary girls volleyball teams travelling to Cranbrook in search of provincial glory. The Mount Baker Wild are off to a strong start this fall, claiming their first tournament title in Invermere last weekend. MBSS finished second in round-robin play with Selkirk Secondary School taking first. The two teams met in the tournament finale, with the Wild exacting revenge on their Kimberley rival. Selkirk will host its own senior girls volleyball tournament Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 in Kimberley. The Wild will be in attendance as they look for their second consecutive tournament victory.

B.C. school strike daycare cheques are in the mail C anadian Press

VICTORIA - Finance Minister Mike de Jong says government cheques are in the mail to help British Columbia’s parents cover daycare costs incurred during the recent teachers’ strike. The Liberals introduced a temporary education-support pay-

ment of $40 a day to help parents of students 12 years old and under pay for learning and supervision. De Jong says the payments apply to the first 13 days of school from Sept. 2 until Sept. 18, when teachers ratified their collective agreement. The 13 days adds up

to $520, and the payment is not taxable. De Jong says 97 per cent of eligible families have registered to receive the payment and the government has mailed out 165,000 cheques. Parents have until Jan. 31, 2015 to register for the payments.

Protesters interrupt pipeline survey work on possible mountain route C anadian Press

RCMP officers watched as some protesters confronted a Trans Mountain survey crew, yelling “go back to Texas,” while another protester crawled under a survey crew’s SUV, wrapped himself around the front tire and refused to leave. Stephen Collis, a

spokesman for the protesters who call themselves the Caretakers, said they plan to hunker down. “We’re currently occupying the space that they have identified that they need to work in. Since we’re on public land, we have every right to be here,” he said. “They can’t really work

in a space that’s filled with dozens of people. That’s the intention.” The plan worked, at least for the day. Workers left in another vehicle, and one man carried several signs under his arm that read No Entry Until Further Notice and Field Testing Area Under Order of the National Energy Board.

Responding to the anti-hunter FJ Hurtak

As hunters, sooner or later you’ll likely meet someone who disagrees with the sport altogether. The question is, how will you respond when you do? For everyone it may be different but, personally, I make no apologies to anyone for my hunting heritage. If someone tries to discredit the sport, I defend it vociferously. A few years ago, I was attending a political meeting at one of the hotels in town. After the business part of the meeting was over, people were mingling and engaging in idle chatter. A young lady, who happened to work for one of the local papers, asked me why I had not attended the meeting held the week before. I explained to her that I was on vacation and had spent the time in the mountains in pursuit of a bull elk. “You mean hunting?” she exclaimed. By the way she said it I knew that, what was once a polite conversation could turn antagonistic very quickly. “Yes, hunting,” I said. “Do you see anything wrong with that?” “Oh, I don’t believe anyone should be allowed to go out with a weapon and kill one of God’s beautiful creations. It’s just not right,” she retorted. The lid had been lifted from the proverbial can of worms, so I waded right in. “If I may, first let me ask you a question. Do you eat meat at all or are you a vegetarian?” “Of course I eat meat,” she stammered. “Most people do.” “Then you believe that it’s okay to kill living creatures and eat their flesh, as long as someone else kills it for you?” I remarked. “That’s completely different,” she stated. “Those animals are raised to be killed for human consumption. They’re not like wild elk or deer.” “Dead is dead,” I replied. “I think if you could ask the cows, pigs, turkeys, chickens, and even fish, if they preferred to have their life cut short for whatever reason, it’s reasonable to assume their answer would be a negative one.” At this point the conversation took a surpris-

ing turn. ‘Well, I’ll give you this,” she said. “No one has quite put it that way before. I’m not likely to change my mind on the subject overnight, but you have raised an interesting point.” I give her a lot of credit because, although she still didn’t agree with my position, she was willing to listen and consider my side of the argument. In the spring of 2013, I was asked to meet with Animal Alliance Environment leader Liz White. I agreed but, knowing this organization is permeated with a lot of anti-hunters, I don’t mind telling you that I went into the meeting with some trepidation. Most communities in our part of the country are increasingly facing urban deer issues and that was the subject of most of our discussion. We chatted about a lot of things too detailed to get into here. She made her points and I made mine but, in the end, I certainly didn’t convince her to enrol in a hunter training program nor did she convince me to shelve my bow or rifle. However our conversation lasted over two hours because we did share a commonality: a great respect for wildlife. Therefore, I considered it two hours well spent and I am cer-

become somewhat laughable over the years and I usually reply facetiously with something such as, “Not yet, but the day is still young.” For most reasonable people, while you may be vehemently opposed to their opinion, you really do have to respect their right to that opinion. My point is, to gain respect you have to give it - it makes for a much more civil, interesting conversation when the subject of the sport we love is the topic.   FJ Hurtak is the author of the books Elk Hunting in the Kootenays, and Hunting the Antlered Big Game of the Kootenays, available at selected retailers in B.C. and Alberta.

tain she did as well. Conversations with the anti-hunting element in our society don’t usually end this way. I am well aware of that. I have found that many are uncompromising and nothing will alter their opinion. But all we can do as hunters is try and make them accountable for their statements, many of which are based on myth, false pretences, and misinformation. Other than that there isn’t much we can do and, in some situations, even starting a civil discussion is a complete waste of time. Here’s a case in point: A woman whom I have known for over 40 years goes out of her way every time she sees me to ask me, “Did you kill anything today?” It has

Low oil prices could impact Canada’s growth Andy Bl atchford Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz estimates if the low price of oil persists, it will knock a quarter-point off the growth of Canada’s gross domestic product in 2015. Poloz made the comment Wednesday during testimony before the Senate banking committee, an appearance that followed the release last week of the central bank’s latest monetary policy report and interest-rate announcement. The first question he fielded was on the tumbling price of crude. “We would estimate that at this stage that effect net on Canada would be to take perhaps a quarter point off Canada’s GDP growth for 2015 - which

is sufficient for me to think about it and be concerned about it,” Poloz said in his reply. He said slowing the economy by a quarter point is significant when the bank is only predicting moderate growth in the two- to 2.5-per-cent range. Canada, he added, also needs more than two-per-cent growth to help close the output gap and create jobs. “A quarter point matters quite a lot in that context,” Poloz said, noting the bank reached that estimate based on the assumption prices would stay low. “At this point we, of course, really don’t know whether this price will be sustained. In our forecast, we simply assume that it will be for sake of giving us something to work from.”

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My younger sister, “Nora,” is 43 and acts like an 18-year-old brat. She became pregnant nine years ago by a drug addict who is currently in jail for raping a 14-year-old girl. (He is out of the picture, thank goodness.) I love my nephew, “Michael.” My older sister and I keep him at our homes most weekends. The problem is, Nora uses our father like her personal banker. He pays for her rent, all bills and a lot of Michael’s necessities. My father can do what he wants with his money -- that’s not the issue. The issue is Nora’s attitude toward him. Lately, my father has been complaining that he feels used by Nora (and he is). But he takes it out on Michael by making comments like, “I’m done with both of you.” Michael is hurt. This week my father yelled again after a snub by Nora, and I can’t blame him, but now Nora won’t answer her phone, texts or anything. I don’t see her car at her house. I don’t know where they are, whether she’s taking Michael to school, whether she’s working, and I’m at my wits’ end. She is also ignoring my other sisters. I’m worried, confused and scared and don’t know what to do. Nora knows she can control us because we would do anything for Michael. I don’t want to sit back and wait for her to get over it. What can I do? -- Sick and Tired of the Drama Queen Dear Sick and Tired: Can you call Michael’s school and Nora’s place of business and find out whether they have shown up? If not, you should call the police and report them missing. But if they are simply avoiding you, there isn’t much you can do. Nora may be a leech, but that doesn’t make her an unfit parent. It also means that if you want to see Michael, you will have to cater to Nora’s whims until Michael is old enough to see you on his own. As aggravating as that is, consider the stable example you are setting for the boy, and do it for his sake. Your father, however, has to stop punishing everyone else for his own choice to give Nora money. Please talk to him about this. He could benefit by venting to a professional. Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our mid-50s and have an almost perfect relationship, with one exception. We used to travel on our vacations. Now that we are retired, I expected to have both time and money to travel more. A number of years ago, my husband slowly became anxious about automobile travel. Each year his phobia has become harder for me to handle. He criticizes my driving and everyone else’s. It’s frustrating. Medications and therapy have failed to alleviate his anxieties. We have had discussions about this. He says I don’t understand and he cannot help how he feels. I feel I am missing out on life. If we cannot resolve this problem, we may be traveling apart forever. Any suggestions? -- Traveling Man Dear Traveling: Would he take a bus? A train? A plane? Traveling by car is not the only way to get around. You also could turn up the radio and tune him out. But please ask him to talk to his doctor again. There may be other things going on. Dear Annie: I could have written the letter from “Frustrated and Furious,” whose brother ignores her children’s events. I agree with your comment that he probably believes everything is fine, because like many men, he thinks his wife is handling gifts and cards. It wasn’t until my stepmother died that my family members began receiving birthday cards. Dad believed that his wife of nearly 30 years had been taking care of it because she had done it for her own family. -- Been There Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Thank You!

On the 6th of October at about 2 pm, while exiting a store on Kootenay Street, I fell, injuring my head and hip and lay on the pavement dazed and unable to rise. Fortunately the first gentleman to come upon me immediately called 911 for the ambulance. Within minutes it arrived and I was rapidly and skillfully put on board and taken to Cranbrook Regional Hospital where I was admitted for surgical repair of a fractured hip. My gratitude goes to the person who found me and called for help, to the ambulance men for their skill and care, to the nurses and medical staff for the care and attention for three weeks, which was exceptional. I thank all of you Des Cowan

Lorna married Anton Clarence on May 10, 1958 and together raised their son Jon and daughter Sherry. Lorna’s working career saw her at the Kimberley Credit Union, F.W. Woolworth and The Looking Glass jewelry store in Cranbrook. Lorna was a dedicated community volunteer throughout her years, including President of the North Star Figure Skating Club, International Order of Job’s Daughters, Overture Concert Series, Kimberley United Way, hairdressing at Kimberley Special Care Home, Adjudicator and Volunteer for Kimberley International Old Time Accordion Championships and Worthy Matron of Harmony Chapter 45 Order of Eastern Star. Lorna loved to garden and took great pleasure in providing fresh vegetables to her family, friends and neighbors. She knit endless numbers of mittens each year to donate to the Order of Eastern Star bazaar and Helping Hands Food Bank, but of most importance to her were her family and special friends, including the “Wednesday lunch ladies”. She treasured every moment with her grandchildren. She was an avid Scrabble player and enjoyed her daily crossword puzzle. Most recently, Lorna donned a dry suit and hopped in a “Zodiac” to marvel at the wonder of sailing with orca whales off Pender Island. Left to cherish her memory are daughter Sherry Waites (Michael), daughter-in- law Marcia McMurtrie of 100 Mile House, BC, grandchildren Jordan Waites and Amara Waites of Kimberley, Connor Sortome of Calgary, Lauren Sortome of Victoria and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Lorna was pre-deceased by her parents, brothers Edwin and George, sisters Grace, Verna and Dorothy, husband Clarence in 2009 and son Jon in 2012. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her. A private family interment will be held at a later date. Those wishing to make a donation in Lorna’s memory may consider Harmony Chapter (in support of Cancer charities), Box 133, Kimberley, BC V1A 2Y5 or East Kootenay Foundation for Health in support of Palliative Care, 13-24th Avenue North, Cranbrook, BC V1C 3H9.

Obituaries Katherine Storch January 17 1928 October 13, 2014

Katherine Storch passed away suddenly in Calgary Alberta October 13th 2014 at the age of 86. She was born in a small town near Frankfurt Germany, growing up in hard times with little time to play. While in Germany she married Henry and it was here that 3 of their children were born. The family immigrated to Canada in 1957 and settled in Calgary AIberta where the youngest Harry was born. They moved to Cranbrook in 1970 where Katherine took pride in maintaining her home and garden. She and Henry enjoyed the summers outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and also spent many winters down south. After Henry passed away in 2004 Katherine moved to Calgary where she resided for a time with Harry and his wife Mary Ann. The last few years were difficult for her due to many health issues but she maintained her fighting spirit and sense of humor. Even into her 80’s she continued to enjoy her love of dancing with special friend Nick. Katherine was predeceased by her parents, brother Walter, husband and son Harry (2008). She is survived by her brother Hans in Germany, sons Robert (Ingrid) and Alfred (Judy), daughter Irma (Bill) Frankish, 6 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Katherine will always be remembered for her dedication to family, her humor and sharp wit. A celebration of Katherine’s life will be held at Alfred and Judy’s home in Calgary November 1st from 1-4 pm.

Paul Lemay 1936 - 2014 Paul’s life journey ended October 25th at the Cranbrook Regional Hospital. Paul fought hard but lost to cancer. Paul is predeceased by his father Hilaire Lemay, mother, Marie Noyce, sister Louella Overman. His is survived by wife Donna of 58 years, son Stephen, daughter Paula (Dan) son Chris (Serrena) three grandchildren, brothers Maurice (Kit), Norman (Simone) sisters jean (Mel) MaeMay (Johnny), Rita and Elaine). Paul moved from Alberta at age 12 and called Kimberley home for 66 years. He worked at Fabro’s saw mill, the fertilizer and concentrators, then finally underground at the mine where he retired after 38 years. Paul restarted the Kimberley Boxing Club and coached for many years. He thought of his fighters as his second family. He gave his time, experience and care, in return they gave hard work, respect and heart. He said his fighters never quit. He coached provincial champions and two national champions. Paul also coached ladies softball and later enjoyed Thursday night Texas Hold’em at the Elks. He enjoyed hiking the L.C. trails with his four-legged friend Chewy. The family would like to thank his great 3rd floor caregivers at the hospital, especially his Angel. Thank you Dr. Lowden for your visits. They meant a lot. His family loved him very much and will always love & miss him, but know he is in a happy, pain-free place as he crosses over the Rainbow Bridge with Chewy who has been waiting for him. Paul requested no service. A celebration of Paul’s life will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, if so desired donations in memory may be made to the Cranbrook SPCA or Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter.

Ten Reasons to Advertise on a Newspaper Website 1. Frequency: The online newspaper Web site user accesses the Internet almost twice as much as the general user. 2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local. Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach. 4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

FACTS B.C. group launches court challenges against province and feds on Site C dam You Need to Know About…

New LNG Legislation With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

C ANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A group of landowners in northeastern British Columbia is turning to the courts to quash provincial and federal environmental approvals for the multibillion-dollar Site C dam. The Peace Valley Landowners Association filed an application for judicial review this week in B.C. Supreme Court seeking to overturn an environmental certificate issued by the province. The association plans to file another such application next week in Federal Court targeting the environmental certificate issued in Ottawa.

Ken Boon, a rancher in the valley and president of the association, said the environmental certificates should be declared invalid. “Site C is a costly, archaic and destructive project that has been kicked around for almost 40 years and has been turned down twice in that time, and it’s been a wise decision both times not to proceed,” Boon said Wednesday in Vancouver. “We are confident that if truly analysed, this project should have never received an environmental certificate this time around.” The first application

Currently, there are 18 potential LNG projects in BC. Combined, these projects have invested more than $7 billion to acquire natural gas assets and $2 billion to prepare for construction of LNG infrastructure.

LNG income tax will be applied to net income from production of liqueﬁed natural gas at rate of 3.5%. The rate is competitive and ensures British Columbians receive return on resource. Royalties also payable at the well-head in NE BC.

BC’s greenhouse gas emissions intensity benchmark for LNG facilities is the world’s cleanest and companies will have ﬂexible options to achieve standards - including purchasing oﬀsets and contributing to a technology fund.

— which names the provincial minister of environment and the minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations — asks for an order quashing the environmental assessment certificate and a declaration that the ministers erred in issuing the certificate. It also asks the court for a declaration that the ministers erred by disregarding a joint review panel’s recommendations to refer the project to the B.C. Utilities Commission for detailed examination. BC Hydro declined to comment on a court action which does not name the Crown corporation. B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the issue is a highly emotional one for residents who will be affected. The Crown utility has said about 10 of the 30 landowners involved will be displaced from their land. Those valley residents have the right to turn to the courts, he said.

“I’m not going to get into the legal issues and debate that,” Bennett said. “But we know we’re going to need some new electricity ... and we have to get it from somewhere. Our decision will be based on what is the best way to acquire that new electricity from a rate-payers perspective.” As for the B.C. Utilities Commission, “I guess the judge will have to decide whether the statements made in the joint review panel’s report are legally binding on the province and the federal government or not,” he added. Ninety-two per cent of the land required for the project is already owned by the province or BC Hydro, Bennett said. Boon said the association has been working in tandem with local Treaty 8 First Nations, who are expected to launch their own court actions in the near future.

Kimberley & District Community Foundation is inviting registered non-profit charitable organizations to apply for grants from the Kootenay Savings Community Fund and the KDCF Community Funds. The purpose of these grants is to provide assistance with the funding of educational, cultural, environmental, or economic non profit projects that will be of assistance to the communities of Kimberley and area, including Skookumchuck, St. Mary’s, Ta Ta Creek, Meadowbrook, Wycliffe, and Wasa. While all applications will be considered, preference will be given to those organizations that have not already received grants in 2013, and have an annual working budget of less than $50,000. Please note these grants are NOT for ongoing operating costs (e.g. salaries, utilities). Please contact Des McKay (Grants Committee Chair) at 250427-4008 or desmckay@shaw.ca for more information. Application forms are available at Kimberley City Hall or can be downloaded from our web site at kimberleyfoundation.ca Deadline for applications is Friday, November 7, 2014.

ing 5,550 hectares of land over an 83-kilometre stretch of valley. It would generate an estimated 1,100 megawatts of capacity, or enough to power the equivalent of 450,000 homes a year. A report by a joint federal-provincial environmental assessment panel in May made no clear recommendation for or against the project. The panel did say the power would be needed one day, but not on the timeline laid out by BC Hydro. It also said it could not come to any conclusion on the accuracy of project cost estimates. Two weeks ago, both the provincial and federal governments issued environmental certificates for the dam, saying the benefits outweigh the impacts. But Maegen Giltrow, lawyer for the association, said there remain too many economic unknowns. “If the project is not economically justified, then the adverse environmental effects are not justified ... and the certificate should fail,” she said. Lawyers for the provincial government have three weeks to file a response with the court. Last week, the Crown utility announced that construction could begin in 90 days, should cabinet give final approval. That final investment decision is expected by the end of the year and Bennett said court action will not cause a delay. “We have to maintain a schedule to either decide to build the project or to move on with a different way of acquiring that electricity,” he said.

Head of the Canadian Space Agency moves on Pe ter R akobowchuk CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Space industry officials expressed surprise Wednesday after learning that the head of the Canadian Space Agency is leaving the position after barely more than a year on the job. Walt Natynczyk will become deputy veterans affairs minister, effective next week Monday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement. Natynczyk had been head of the space agency since August 2013, when he replaced former Canadian astronaut Steve MacLean. In a separate statement released by the agency, Natynczyk said it was an honour to have served as its president. “The agency has extraordinary potential and an exciting destiny,” he said. “I believe in its employees. I believe in its mission. “Space touches every Canadian, every day of their lives. No matter where I am, I will continue to support Canada’s space program.” The retired military general served as the

Canadian Forces’ chief of defence staff from 2008 to 2012. Industry Minister James Moore tweeted later on Wednesday that Luc Brule, the space agency’s current vice-president, will take over on an interim basis. Iain Christie, executive vice-president of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada (AIAC), expressed surprise when informed of Natynczyk’s move. “It’s not something we had prior knowledge of,” he told The Canadian Press in a phone interview. “But that’s not unusual.” The association represents about 100 of Canada’s aerospace companies, including MDA, the builders of the Canadarm; Lockheed Martin Canada Inc; Magellan Aerospace; and Telesat Canada. But Christie, who has had extensive dealings with the space agency, also sounded a positive note. “Having General Natynczyk there I think has been very good for the agency and we’re in a much better place than

we were when he was originally appointed,” Christie said. “So I’m looking forward to working with whoever the government does appoint to keep the progress moving forward.” Marc Boucher, acting president of the Canadian Space Commerce Association, described the agency post as a revolving door.

“I’m surprised and I’m disappointed,” he said. “Unfortunately it seems to be a pattern where presidents of the Canadian Space Agency don’t seem to last long in the job for whatever reason.” He noted that, after being on the job for less than two years, Natynczyk has left a lot to be done, adding that

term who will actually be able to do something constructive.” Marc Garneau, a Liberal MP and a former CSA president, had no comment. An aide said Canada’s first astronaut would wait to see who Natynczyk’s replacement would be before speaking out. “He’s holding his fire for now,” the spokesman added.

“Basically the government has just been doing the least that it can to keep things going and I don’t see anything changing in the near future.” The government now has an opportunity to find a new leader who will stay for a while, he added. “I hope they find somebody to run the Canadian Space Agency for a longer period of

employees at the agency are probably scratching their heads at developments. Boucher, whose industry group represents about 40 small and large space companies in Canada, was harshly critical of the Harper government. “It just shows that there’s a lack of support for the Canadian Space Agency and the industry as a whole,” he said.

B.C. students’ science experiment on hold C ANADIAN PRESS

A year’s worth of hard A year’s worth of hard work and fundraising efforts by a group of students from Kamloops, B.C., have gone up in flames with the spectacular explosion of a commercial rocket bound for the International Space Station. Just six seconds after liftoff Tuesday evening, the rocket launched from the Orbital Sciences Corp.’s complex in eastern Virginia exploded, destroying a payload of equipment that included the experiments of students from across North America. On board was a microgravity experiment developed by four boys who attended McGowan Park elementary school in Kamloops last year and are now in Grade 8. Yet Paul Hembling, the project co-ordinator for the Kamloops/Thompson school district and principal of Bert Edwards Science and Technology School, remained surprisingly upbeat about

the experience. “We basically paid $25,000 to pay for that explosion to launch our experiment along with 17 others from all other U.S. jurisdictions,” he said with a chuckle, adding McGowan Park was the only Canadian school involved in the flight. The experiment was designed to examine how space impacts the growth of crystals, and Hembling said it involved silicon tubes, 17 centimetres long and 0.9 centimetres in diameter. Two separate solutions were inside the tubes, he said, and were separated by clips. Once the experiment was aboard the space station, the astronauts were supposed to remove a clip, allowing the solutions to mix and the crystals to form, he said, noting a similar experiment was supposed to take place on Earth at about the same time. The experiment was supposed to return to earth in about 12 weeks, at which time the stu-

Kamloops students’ hard work went up in flames on Tuesday when the rocket bound for the International Space Station exploded. dents could compare the results, he said. The students hypothesized the structure of the crystals formed in space would be different, said Hembling. A summary of the experiment also proposed that unique materials could be

created on Earth if scientists could better understand the formation of solids from liquids in space. It also said scientists would get a better understanding of how fluid mixing and crystal formation works in microgravity. Hembling said he

hopes the explosion won’t mean the end of the experiment and there’ll be another opportunity for the project, adding the cost was for the transportation of the materials by rocket to the space station, not the silicon tubes and clips. He said raising the

funds for the project proved to be a half-time job, and he also had to write a proposal and apply on behalf of the school district to get a spot on the flight. Kieren O’Neil said in an email to The Canadian Press that he was one of the students who spent the last year designing the experiment and was watching the launch when the explosion occurred. “We feel bad for everyone involved,” he said, adding that he’s been told the project will still happen. Flames could be seen shooting into the sky as the sun set. There was no hint of any trouble until the rocket exploded. Orbital Science reported that everyone at the site had been accounted for, and the damage appeared to be limited to the facilities. “We will understand what happened — hopefully soon — and we’ll get things back on track,” Orbital Sciences’ execu-

tive vice-president Frank Culbertson told his team an hour after the failure. “We’ve all seen this happen in our business before, and we’ve all seen the teams recover from this, and we will do the same.” Tuesday was the second launch attempt for the mission. Monday evening’s try was thwarted by a stray sailboat in the rocket’s danger zone. The restrictions are in case of just such an accident that occurred Tuesday. Hembling said the project was important because it engaged students. “We need to engage kids in science to make the learning real for them and to make the learning relevant,” he said. “I can’t think of anything that is with more purpose or more real than having a NASA astronaut carry out your designed space experiment on the International Space Station.”

Hawaii residents watch as lava oozes closer ASSOCIATED PRESS

PAHOA, Hawaii — Lava is expected to slither past properties across the street from Jeff and Denise Lagrimas’ home on Hawaii’s Big Island as it works its way to the ocean. But they are packing up to leave for a town 14 miles (22 kilometres) away, so they won’t know whether that prediction comes true or whether the molten rock oozes into their home instead. “I don’t want to stick around and just wait for it to come and take it,” Denise Lagrimas said while taking a break from loading kitchen cups and bowls in cardboard boxes. “You just never know.” The lava was about 280 yards (255 metres) from the main road in Pahoa, the commercial centre of Puna, a sprawling, mostly agricultural district on the Big Island, civil defence officials in Hawaii County said Wednesday. The flow from Kilauea volcano entered private property next to the main road and was burning tires and other materials, prompting authorities to warn downwind residents with respiratory problems to stay indoors. The lava was edging forward at about 11 yards (10 metres) per hour and slowed early Wednesday to about 5.5 yards (5 metres) per hour,

the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said. It burned down an empty shed Tuesday. The molten stream picked up speed last week after weeks of slow, stop-and-go movement. It broke out of a forest and pastureland and crossed into inhabited areas for the first time since scientists began warning about lava in August. Pahoa residents have had weeks to prepare for what’s been described as a slow-motion disaster. Most have either already left or are prepared to go. At least 50 or 60 structures — including homes and businesses — are in an area that officials warn will likely be hit. With the flow threatening, the Lagrimas family decided to move to Kurtistown, a safe distance away. “We didn’t want to go anywhere where it’s close enough where we would have to evacuate again,” Denise Lagrimas said. They also worried the lava will block roads leading out of Pahoa and prevent them from commuting to their jobs in the coastal town of Hilo to the north. Then there was the prospect of subsequent flows gradually swallowing more of the community,

Lava flowing from the volcano Kilauea moves onto property on the Big Island. which is what happened to the Royal Garden and Kalapana subdivisions in the 1980s and 1990s. Some people want to watch the

lava destroy their homes as a way to cope with the loss. “You can only imagine the frustration as well as ... despair they’re

going through,” Hawaii County Civil Defence Director Darryl Oliveira said.

Your home may be the biggest investment you’ll ever make. That means you want to be smart with your mortgage. Although we can’t say for sure what mortgage rates will do – or how the housing market will shift – we have compiled our top tips for the year ahead; sensible strategies for today’s homebuyers and owners. Variables are back. Several lenders are offering strong “prime minus” rates that could save you thousands in interest. And the Bank of Canada is still holding their key “overnight rate” very steady and very low… making variable-rate mortgages a sensible option right now. Fixed versus variable has always been a challenging mortgage decision. Let us help you decide which financing option best meets your needs. Don’t sleepwalk through your mortgage renewal. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to save thousands on your mortgage. When your lender sends you a letter saying it’s time to renew… then it’s time to get an expert second opinion. We’re independent and we have access to over 50 lenders. If there’s a better deal, we’ll find it. Pay your phone bill on time! Paying your bills on time has always been the most important credit habit. Equifax recently started to include

phone companies on credit bureau reports – so your lender can see if you have any delinquencies with your phone bills. Look like a good borrower. Keep other good credit habits. Don’t let your credit accounts exceed 30 per cent of your limit. Don’t cancel an old credit card without getting advice. And don’t sign up for store cards: they often have crazy interest rates, and the application triggers a credit inquiry (you don’t want a lot of those). Mortgage versus total debt. Do you have high-interest debt outside your mortgage that you won’t be able to pay off in the next few months? Then think about rolling that debt into a new low-rate mortgage. This one, smart strategy could save you thousands… and boost your monthly cash flow. We can analyze your situation to see if you qualify. What’s the prepayment penalty? Don’t let anyone tell you prepayment penalties are “all the same”. They’re not. If you ever need to get out of your mortgage early, the right mortgage could save you thousands. Not all lenders calculate penalties the same way, and the differences can be substantial. It helps to know which lenders have the most fair prepayment

penalties. With access to dozens of lenders – we’ve got that information at our fingertips. If one of you wants to keep the marital home. If you are going through a separation or divorce and one of you wants to keep the marital home, we’ve got some great mortgage options, including a mortgage to 95 per cent. Your home can be the asset that gives you both a fresh start! A paydown will pay it forward. Take every opportunity to beat down your mortgage principal using any prepayment privileges! Use tax refunds, bonuses, whatever. Or switch to weekly or bi-weekly payments. Every dollar you pay down on principal means every future payment goes further. Thinking renovation? We see what you see. Your reno will add value to your home. That’s why we have a special “Refinance Plus Improvements” mortgage that lets you refinance up to 80 per cent of the new, postreno value of your home. Cool deal. Come in for a checkup. Your mortgage needs an annual checkup. Really. Life doesn’t stand still, which means your needs may have changed. Even a minor tweak can pay big dividends.

FALL

10 ways to conserve energy this winter Conserving energy in the winter is a concern for many men and women. Whether your goal is to save energy and do your part for the environment or to trim a few dollars from your winter utility bills, here are 10 ways to reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort this winter.

Have the furnace serviced. You can reduce furnace fuel consumption by as much as 10 percent by having

the system serviced yearly. Late spring or early autumn is a good time to schedule an inspection and have filters replaced in forced-air systems. All radiators and other elements should be kept free of dust.

Remedy drafty windows. Drafty windows not only let cold air in, but also let warm air out. This is a one-two punch in terms of energy waste, forcing heating units to work

harder to regulate a consistent temperature. Caulking and weatherstripping applications are easy doit-yourself projects. If windows are old and especially drafty, consider replacement. If such an undertaking will stretch your budget, use tightly sealed plastic sheeting to insulate drafty windows until you can afford to replace them.

Address additional leaks. Windows

Is old man winter giving you the draft? Seal him out with

Kimberley Building Supplies 250.427.2400

and doors are not the only places where cold air can get in or warm air can escape. Leaks occur around pipes and plumbing penetrations to the home, and cold air also can enter through utility cut-throughs, light plates and outlets. Use insulation or weatherstripping to seal leaks in these areas.

Decorate with light-colored furnishings. Light-hued walls and furniture will reflect the sunlight that makes it into a home while also reflecting artificial light more effectively than darker shades. This can help you reduce your reliance on lamps and other lighting.

Make use of the sun. In the winter, the sun’s rays are not as powerful as during other seasons. That’s due to the tilt of the planet’s axis. However, you can

still maximize daylight time for warmth. Open curtains and drapes on southern-facing windows and let warm sunlight shine through. Then close the curtains again when evening falls. You may be able to turn down the heat during the day when the sun is warming your home.

Use fireplaces properly. Fireplaces can be unnecessary sources of drafts and leaks. Keep your fireplace damper closed unless a fire is burning. Keeping the damper open is like keeping a window wide open during the winter, allowing warm air to go right up the chimney. When the fireplace is in use, reduce heat loss by opening dampers in the bottom of the firebox or open the nearest window slightly and close doors leading into the room. If your fireplace is more decorative

than functional, keep the damper closed at all times and consider sealing the chimney.

Conduct an energy audit. A home energy audit, also known as a home energy assessment, is the first step to assess how much energy your home consumes and to evaluate which measures you can take to make your home more energy-efficient. Many times these government-sponsored programs are free, and an auditor will go through your home with a finetoothed comb looking for potential energy losses. After the audit is conducted, you can choose which repairs or modifications make the most sense for your budget and needs.

Adjust the direction of your ceiling fan blades. Blades that spin clockwise will trap heat inside to keep your

rooms warmer during the cooler months. Adjust your ceiling fan to a low setting to gently push hot air back down.

Wear warmer clothes. Layer clothing when you’re in the house to reduce the need to adjust the heat. A sweater, pair of thick socks and a throw blanket can keep you cozy.

. Only heat the rooms you use. Close off venting or turn off radiators in spaces that are not in use. There is no point in heating unoccupied rooms.

Any modifications you make to insulation, window drafts, thermostats, and HVAC systems are not just beneficial for the winter, but they also should help you save money and energy in the summer, too.

NEWS Buy candy even if no trick-or-treaters coming BETH J. HARPA Z ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Don Stewart and his wife will be home with the lights on Halloween night, waiting for trickor-treaters. But like a lot of folks who stock up on candy, they’ll probably end up eating it themselves. “My wife and I buy candy every year, knowing that trick-or-treaters won’t come to see us,” said Stewart, an artist in Homewood, Alabama. That’s why they buy the treats they like, not necessarily what they think kids will like: “Nothing is wasted. If we plan well, there’s usually enough to last us ‘til Christmas.” This little game of self-deception plays out each year in buildings where apartment-dwellers wait in vain for door knocks and on suburban side streets and country roads where kids don’t wander. “We were bummed out the first few times,” said Stewart, “until we realized, ‘Hey this is a bonus. We can buy all the candy we want and eat it and it’s not our fault.”’ When Paula Werne moved to a rural stretch in Ferdinand, Indiana, 32 years ago with her farmer husband Gary, “I was skeptical we’d have any trick-or-treaters.” But her husband insisted the location wouldn’t deter locals.

“I purchased multiple bags of goodies and positioned a welcoming jack-o’-lantern in the front window,” she recalled. And who came? “Not a soul. Not a single solitary soul ... I even checked to make sure the doorbell worked. Twice.” Her husband ate the candy, and each year since, he has convinced her that “this might be the year.” Some folks think fewer kids go door to door these days, with more organized parties and programs instead. “Kids do their trick-or-treating at school now because of safety reasons or fear of drunk drivers,” said Jason Varden, who works for an online videogame company Gazillion and lives with his wife in Milpitas, California. “It goes into the helicopter mom thing of ‘We’re not going to let our kids go up to strangers.”’ The trend hasn’t stopped him from buying the 200-plus-size bags of goodies from Target. “It’s all for the children!” he insisted. “But we bought Kit Kats and Snickers — candy we knew we would eat if we had to.” Bryanna Johns, 20, a student at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, isn’t that far removed from her childhood trick-or-treating, but she thinks the practice “is losing its appeal. People are so worried

about can you trust who your child is getting candy from. They’re going trick-or-treating more in children’s museums, churches and malls instead.” She goes home Halloween night to help her mom answer the door, but they typically only get about 20 kids. So mom buys candy the family likes — Snickers and Reese’s Pieces, rather than fruity or fizzy sweets — and they watch a horror movie at evening’s end while finishing the leftovers. Monique Lewis also has fond memories of trick-or-treating as a kid in Arlington, Virginia. But as an adult living in three different apartments, she’s never had a trick-or-treater. “First year in, I was so excited because I was certain that I would be flooded. By the time 10 p.m. had rolled around, I was standing in the hallway with my door open, frantically searching for the missing treaters,” said Lewis, a marketing consultant now living in Manhattan. Each time she moved, she kept buying candy, thinking “every building is different.” She even decorated her door to make it inviting. But usually, the day after Halloween, she’s “eating all the candy and throwing impromptu get-togethers” to get rid of it.

Michigan couple expecting baby No. 13 ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROCKFORD, Mich. — A western Michigan couple with 12 sons is expecting baby No. 13, and even though they’re sticking to their tradition of not finding out in advance whether they’re having a boy or girl, they said they’d be shocked if their streak is broken. Jay and Kateri Schwandt’s baby is due May 9, The Grand Rapids Press reported. Even though they expect it will be another boy, the couple said they would welcome either into the family. “If we were to have a girl, I think we would go into shock,” Kateri Schwandt said. “It would probably be disbelief.” If he had a choice, Jay Schwandt said he would love to have a girl, but they’re just “hoping for a healthy baby.” Still, he would like to see the effect of adding a girl to the mix in a household with 12 boys. “I’ve experienced all the boy stuff,” he said. “As long as we are having all these children, it would be really neat to experience the other side.”

The couple welcomed their twelfth son, Tucker, to the world on Aug. 4, 2013. Their oldest son is now 22 years old. “The stuff that goes on in this house is all-boy — roughhousing and wrestling,” Jay Schwandt said. “If there was a little girl in there, I assume it would be different.” Kateri Schwandt, after being the sole female in the family for more than two decades, said she would lean toward having one more boy. “A little girl would be neat to have in the house, but a little boy kind of takes the pressure off,” she said. “We know what we are doing. Why change things up?” The Schwandts, who live Rockford, which is north of Grand Rapids, consider themselves devout Roman Catholics and don’t believe in using birth control. Kateri Schwandt comes from a family of 14 kids. She said she is feeling well. “I love being pregnant,” she said. “I’ve spent half of my life being pregnant. It’s very neat and very special.”

n When choosing a costume, stay away from billowing or long trailing fabric. If you are making your own costume, choose material that won’t easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or flame. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so they can see out. n Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of way of trickor-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards. n Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes. n Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume. n Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters. n Tell children to stay away from open flames. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire. (Have them practice stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.) n It is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candles in a jack-olantern. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution.

Don’t forget to get your pumpkin! Discard any unwrapped candy and wash and cut up any fruit before eating it.

n Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torch lights when decorating walkways and yards. They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting. n Always remember to carry a flashlight when trick-or-treating after dark. n Trick-or-treat only at brightly lit houses in familiar neighborhoods. n Follow traffic signals and cross the streets only at crosswalks. n Drivers should drive slowly and watch out for trick-or-treaters. n Stick to sidewalks and avoid taking shortcuts across yards or alleys. n Adults should carefully inspect candy for tampering before it is eaten. n If your children are going to Halloween parties at others’ homes, have them look for ways out of the home and plan how they would get out in an emergency.

The traditions of Halloween October 31st is tomorrow,

and soon the streets will be filled with costumed revelers eager to get their share of the free-flowing candy and other prizes. Year after year, trick-or-treaters don their costumes and parade from home to home. But have you ever wondered where this and other traditions began?

dead would play tricks on mankind during Samhain, causing destruction and panic. To appease the spirits, people would give the dead food and other treats.

Another custom, called “souling,” can be linked to Halloween as well. Early Christians would walk from village to village asking for “soul cakes,” which were square pieces of bread

Irish trick-or-treating customs may be traced back to collecting supplies door-to-door for the festival of St. Columbkille. Halloween revelry is full of traditions passed on through the ages.

ANNUAL HALLOWEEN

Spooktakular!

Trick-or-treating and wearing costumes seem like odd traditions to those unaccustomed to Halloween. Halloween customs are actually a blend of Celtic, Catholic, Pagan, and ancient Roman traditions. It is thought that Halloween celebrations date back to roughly 800 to 600 BC, when they originally were observances of the harvest season and nature before the arrival of winter, which marked the barren state of the landscape. The Celtic festival of Samhain was a major influence on modern day Halloween.

On October 31, Celts also believed the door to the underworld was opened and could let in deceased spirits. Feasts were held and place-settings were left for deceased relatives, as they were believed to return home for a visit. In addition to friendly spirits, mean spirts also could cross over. Bonfires were lit to ward off spirits, and extra candles would be used in homes and churches to keep evil away.

Even the custom of wearing costumes has its roots in keeping evil spirits at bay. Costumes and masks were worn to confuse bad spirits and frighten them so that they could not bestow misfortune on the more fortunate. People also wore masks and ventured out after dark so that envious ghosts who were cold and outside could not recognize residents of warm and inviting homes. The trick-or-treating custom may have blended origins. Druids believed the

with currants. The more cakes received, the more prayers the faithful would promise to say on behalf of the dead relatives of the cake donors to expedite a soul’s passage to heaven.
