Aboriginal Gathering Place officially opens ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff
Friday was the grand opening ceremony for the newly constructed Aboriginal Gathering Place at the College of the Rockies. Representatives from the College, the Ktunaxa Nation, and the local MLA talked about the partnership and camaraderie that brought the various organizations together to complete the new building. The presentation began with
the raising of the Ktunaxa flag, that was followed by speeches and a ribbon cutting. The grand opening took place on Friday, Oct. 31 in front of the Aboriginal Gathering Place itself, which is located at the College’s main campus in Cranbrook, which is traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation. Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Chair, said the new building reaffirms the commitment of both the Ktu-
naxa Nation and the College of the Rockies to support and enhance Aboriginal education in Ktunaxa territory. “This close collaboration has resulted in this beautiful new space where students from all over the world can learn and share in a supportive and inclusive environment,” Teneese said. She also noted the positive relationship that has been developed. The Gathering Place is meant to build bridg-

es of understanding between different voices and cultures and help create a welcoming, safe and supportive learning environment for Aboriginal students attending College of the Rockies. College of the Rockies’ President and CEO David Walls noted that the Gathering Place is a place of welcome for everyone within the College community and beyond it. “We couldn’t be happier to see the doors of this beautiful building officially open,” Walls said.

This fall, Wildsight hosted community apple harvest days in Kimberley and Cranbrook. A group of volunteers picked apples from unloved local trees and then invited everyone to come help with the apple juicing process. Seeing the apple juice start to flow from the press is always an exciting moment for the kids. The harvest days are a chance for anyone to try out Wildsight’s free loaner equipment including orchard ladders, pickers, apple juice presses, apple sauce makers, and dehydrators. There are still plenty of apples on local trees and it isn’t too late to make yourself some juice. See wildsight.ca/apples for all the details. Top left: Sonja running the apple press.

East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett, Kathryn Teneese, Ktunaxa Nation Chair, and David Handy, College of the Rockies Board Chair cut the ribbon which signifies the grand opening of the Aboriginal Gathering Place that the College of the Rockies, which took place Friday, Oct. 31.
Grand opening held for Gathering Place Continued from page 1
Representatives from the Ktunaxa Nation, the Shuswap Band, the Metis Nation and students who actually worked to build the Gathering Place were among the invited guests for the event which commenced with the raising of a Ktunaxa
flag outside of the College. Students in the College of the Rockies’ construction trades programs participated in the building of the Gathering Place, which received funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education and Columbia Basin
Trust. Ktunaxa Elder Herman Alpine provided a blessing for the building in a sunrise ceremony prior to the official grand opening. The Aboriginal Gathering Place holds a particularly special significance for Alpine as he and his family once lived where
the Gathering Place now sits. Speakers included College of the Rockies Board of Governors’ Chair Dave Handy, Minister Bill Bennett, Kathryn Teneese and Gwen Phillips from the Ktunaxa Nation as well as Marilyn Taylor from the Metis Nation.
Additional funds were provided by Teck Resources and the Ktunaxa Nation. “By offering a gathering place, College of the Rockies is helping Aboriginal students feel welcome and supported in an environment for success in post-secondary education,” East Kootenay
MLA Bill Bennett said. “The college plays an important role in the community that is further enhanced by this welcoming gathering place.” The Aboriginal Gathering Place will be open for public viewing on Nov. 5 from 1–4 p.m.
More than $70,000 earmarked for shelter
The shelter is run out of the Kootenay Valley Community Church location at 533 Slater Road across the railroad tracks. The funding, which is a part of the Extreme Weather Response Program, will help provide a place for homeless men and women to sleep and stay warm, with access to meals and showers.
Continued from page 1 Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said the EWRP funding is important because it usually comes with some strings attached. “In bigger places, BC Housing has this provincial policy that requires shelters to only be open when weather conditions cross a certain threshold, but in those bigger places, even the size of Kam-
loops, Kelowna and Prince George, there are other options for [homeless] people,” Bennett said. “There are no other options in Cranbrook and BC Housing, to their credit, accepted the argument and has been steadfast.” The shelter will be open from Nov. 1 to March 31.

Flu season may be early this year Tom Fletcher Black Press
It’s a good year to get a shot of influenza vaccine early, says Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall. “We’re already starting to see some influenza activity around the province, which suggests that this flu season may be coming earlier
than past flu seasons,” Kendall said this week. Kendall joined Health Minister Terry Lake and other MLAs who rolled up their sleeves to receive their annual flu shots at the B.C. legislature. Lake said flu vaccination is on the upswing in B.C., with last year setting a record for doses of

Transparency Act reveals Shuswap council earnings Da n Walton Columbia Valley Pioneer
An audit has revealed that the chief and one councillor at the Shuswap Indian Band are among the highest paid in the province. The First Nations Financial Transparency Act was enacted earlier in 2014, which now requires First Nations to post online their audited financial statements for the last fiscal year. Among the new figures listed are the salaries of chief and council. The numbers submitted by the Shuswap Band show Chief Paul Sam to have earned $202,413 over the period of 12 months, followed closely by councillor Alice Sam who earned $202,000. The third council member, Barbara Cote, was paid $57,700 over the same timeframe. The publication of these documents was initially delayed as the band changed auditors twice before submitting the report. In contrast to the numbers submitted by the Akisqnuk First Nation, Chief Lorne Shovar and each member of his council were paid $18,200 (with exception to one council position that was fragmented by two band members, but funds were distributed evenly). “We don’t want to be earmarked as a band that doesn’t meet its requirements to its people, because that’s the farthest thing from the truth,” said Chief Paul Sam’s son, Dean Martin, the chief executive officer of the Kinbasket Development Corporation (KDC). The KDC is a corporate extension of the Shuswap Band, to which every member is a stakeholder. He said his father’s income has accumulated as a result of holding the position of chief for 34 years and for overseeing substantial economic prosperity. “We’re one of the highest paid bands there’s no doubt, but it’s one of the richest bands,” he said. The Shuswap territory encompasses roughly 2,500 acres. Amid economic distress in 1996, the band designated 500 of those acres for development. “Through that designation, it opened up an opportunity for us to leverage that land for money to develop on,” Mr. Martin said. “This band did that the conventional way. We built our economy through hard work right here.” Those developments have brought the band’s total asset value to $75,000,000, he said. Also worth taking into account, said Mr. Martin, are the travel costs and retirement savings of First Nations leaders, which he said accounts for 30 to 40 per cent of their income. “In my mind, $140,000 or $150,000 (after considering the deduction of retirement and travel expenses) for 34 years of work on what these guys run — $75,000,000 worth of assets — they’re still underpaid,” Mr. Martin said. But Barbara Cote, the lesser paid council member, finds these numbers deceiving.
“If we are so rich, I want to ask, where is the money?” she said. The wealth that has accumulated through developments on Shuswap land has not benefitted the majority of the band’s members, she said. “As a councillor, I have had an elder phone me for water in the winter.” To help the elder get his water running, Ms. Cote said she went to the KDC to ask for help. “Apparently we had no money.” But Gordie Martin, Shuswap public relations, refutes that claim, saying that members living on the reserve are not going without essential services. “We have the resources to help these people out and we do.” Ms. Cote is very relieved by the results of the Transparency Act. “We now have the numbers,” she said. “Some of our people are living in poverty, and it should never, ever have taken place.” The Shuswap population does not elect their chief, but rather elects three council members. Once elected, those three councillors decide who takes the reigns of chief, and they also determine the level of compensation. Asked why her salary was only about one-quarter of Alice Paul’s — the other Shuswap councillor — Ms. Cote said, “I am just as surprised as all of Canada that there was such a difference in honoraria. Personally, I would never have taken that much from the people who elected me to work for them. I would rather see that money go towards programs that help our community.” Gordie Martin argues that the wages are fair. “[Paul and Alice Sam are compensated] way below somebody working for 34 years at one job; it hasn’t even been kept up with the cost of living,” he said. Regarding Ms. Cote’s relatively low pay, he said “if you have a ball team, and you have a rookie coming in, unless it was Michael Jordan or something, would you pay a zillion dollars? No. You have to prove yourself.” Ms. Cote said these issues haven’t been discussed at council because no formal meetings are held. “We haven’t had a band meeting in eight years — only a chief can call a band meeting, and he hasn’t called one,” she said. Gordie Martin denies this, stating council meetings are held every month. The lack of leadership has caused the community to become dysfunctional, Ms. Cote said, and that the level of inequality has continually worsened in the past two decades. Along with her colleagues Alice and Paul Sam, Ms. Cote is also running for reelection. Voting takes place on Saturday, Nov. 7. Also running for Shuswap council are Annanette Eugene, Pauline Eugene, Timothy Eugene, Rosalita Ita, Alice Sam, Paul Sam, Lawrence Thomas, Suzanne Thomas, and Dorothy Warbrick.

Delusions of adequacy “You don’t tell deliberate lies, but some times you have to be elusive.” Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher “In politics stupidity is not a handicap.” Anonymous
D
espite numerous requests from supposedly sensible people for me to write columns about politics, I adamantly refuse. I know nothing about politics except that the whole sordid business is thoroughly confusing. I mean, why does an apparently sane person become involved in such shenanigans? Is it an ego trip? Is that person bored with life and desperately in search of a hobby? No, thank you very much. I’ll stay right out of the fray and just hope that the next councillor, MLA, MP even, doesn’t screw up too much. After all, democracy is a process by which the people are free to choose the person who will get the blame but, there again, bad officials are elected by good people who do not vote. It’s a problem. As George Bernard Shaw said, “Democracy is a device which ensures that we shall be governed no better than we deserve.” I’ll stay out of the whole kit and caboodle because politicians have to go to meetings, and I hate meetings. Some potential
politicians are like opera singers and love the sound of their own voices but, to me, sleep or a drunken stupor is the only way to listen to either of them. I am not inclined to be impressed. Even though there are far more interesting things to talk about, like soccer scores and the great weather we’ve been having, folk still say, “Surely, you’re going to vote, right?” but I am inclined to think ‘why’. All the candidates assure me what they think I would like to hear, and feed me statistics. Well, I was once trained Peter in statistics by an astute who, at the end Warland statistician of an intensive course told us naïve students, “Now, go forth and prove whatever you want to prove: black is really white; wealth is merely an over-abundance of poverty; that 50 per cent could be smaller or even larger than a half.” I remember nodding and trying hard to look sagacious, but I was really disillusioned. Some folk, I feel, treat public office as a part-time job, one way of helping to fill the otherwise empty hours of retirement from real employment. Fortunately, I have plenty to do, thank you. In fact, the way my retirement life is at the present moment, I wouldn’t have the time to go out and get even a part-time job. One politician with high aspirations
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
told me plaintively that there was nowhere in town where a man might buy a suit. Quite frankly, I refuse to get involved in anything that involves my wearing a suit. I recall Thoreau’s comment: distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes. I was out walking in the sunshine today — not at a meeting, not wearing a suit — and several people spoke to me and didn’t once try to sell me an idea. I wonder if it would be that way if I were to even write about politics, let alone get involved. It must be harder — worse even — than raising a family when you get involved with politics, unless you happen to be some kind of masochist: listening to people’s pet peeves and attempting to appease the most strident. We’ve all tried that, right? The trouble with free elections is you never know who is going to get elected and this is because those elections are won by strange men and women that you and other particular folk probably voted against rather than for. Intelligence has nothing to do with politics. When a politician speaks of ‘every intelligent voter’, he or she means ‘anyone who is going to vote for him or her’. I recall talking to a retired politician who assured me that she loved to watch that British show ‘Yes, Prime Minister’ where the PM invariably ends up achieving the opposite of what he’d set out to do because of the conniving civil servants. “That is so true,” she assured me.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Mosquitos, etc Enjoying bird and animal watching, and being aware that birds in particular are disappearing at an alarming rate here in the Kootenays, as in the rest of the world, it’s disappointing that once again the spectre of fearmongering comes to the fore. In the name of protecting people from diseases such as west nile virus, proponents are recommending the annihilation of mosquitos which feed insectivores such as swallows, fly catchers, etc., amphibians such as frogs, toads, etc., and bats, many of which are becoming more & more endangered, Birds that use to be common here in Cranbrook before the mosquito treatment started are scarce now, so expanding the program will also expand their disappearance. Nature is interconnected, so loss of each creature affects others. I suspect the real motivation of proponents of this idea is profit for companies like Culex Environment Ltd. who would like to grow their business from servicing Cranbrook to also servicing Bull River, Fort Steele, Mayook, Wardner Colony Road, and Norbury Lakes communities. For those who are concerned about protection, according to the Centre for Disease Control, “You can reduce your risk of being infected with WNV by using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing to prevent mosquito bites.” It’s good the residents of RDEK Area C voted down the proposal to have a mosquito treatment plan when last asked some 10 years or more ago. Perhaps again the residents will see through this attempt to spend their hard earned money on an unnecessary and harmful plan to further sterilize the natural environment in the name of concern for human health! Pat Sindholt Cranbrook
Fluoride referendum As a concerned citizen of area C, I wrote an article this summer highlighting the pitfalls that fluoride removal from the city water supply could lead to. I relayed some of my experience gained as I anesthetized well over 1200 children ages 2-12 that required extensive dental restorations due to tooth abscesses and a mouth full of pus from dental decay. This Anti Fluoride internet campaign has been ongoing for many years. Sadly individuals are lead astray by so called “reputable internet articles” The fact that highly respected and scientifically based organizations such as the Centre for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia; The World health organization; Canadian and American Dental and Medical associations support fluoride addition to drinking water (of .7 ppm or 0.7 mg/Liter) seems to be lost in the anti-fluoride baffle gab. Whitehorse Yukon (same size as Cranbrook) voted it’s fluoride out in the mid 1990’s by a referendum, which passed due to lack of information and voter apathy. Now every Yukon dentist can attest to the deterioration of the teeth of the “at risk” populations consisting of children and elders. The Cranbrook Dentists can also tell you whether a child comes from an area without fluoridated water such as Kimberley. So who needs the fluoride? Women, between 3 and 9 months pregnant, while their baby is developing its first tooth buds in Utero; Children ages 0-10; Most elders
with receding gum margins and exposed tooth roots and folks with Dementia who are unable to look after their own personal needs. Readers of this letter, your vote on November 15 probably won’t affect you in the short run. Most likely you have a dental plan; ensure your children brush and have regular dental check-ups. Your vote “against” the resolution to remove fluoride will go a long way in protecting the 60% of the population who don’t vote. You will continue to protect those too young or unable to vote. The health of our extended community is important to all of us! Children with dental abscesses are ill; in pain; can’t eat and they become behavior problems at home and in school. Their behavior affects your children as well. Their families have more illnesses. Heart attacks and Coronary heart disease have been associated with the mouth bacteria which cause dental caries. Given Canadians now consume on average 150 pounds of sugar per person per year. The need for Fluoride is even more important. Fluoride is a simple public health measure providing the greatest good for the greatest number. Please vote “No” to the referendum and keep fluoride in your water! Roger Mitchell MD CCFP Cranbrook
Election issues Potholes and roads seem to be the main debate in every civic election that I recall going back 20 years of watching our local council. In our opinion, this election should be about fiscal restraint and more efficiency found within the City budgets. Our municipality has been quick to go back to the taxpayer for increases and new funding for projects that perhaps we should be refraining from. A City’s core focus should be on roads, sewer, water, emergency services and recreational services. Albeit, we would all like to see improved social conditions within our community we need to truly examine the roles and responsibilities of our municipal government. The increase in property tax every year is becoming too much of a norm and accepted by the community on a larger scale. If this path continues taxes, will not be affordable and could create future economic hardship for residents, and stifle economic growth in the community. The City of Cranbrook is the 4th highest taxed municipality within our population category in the province, in both the residential and business classifications according to information obtained from Civic Info BC. In the past three years we have seen our Council raise property taxes over 12%. Yet the Consumer Price Index in BC has increased 3.4% over the same period of time from stats obtained from Statistics Canada. In 2011 a home in Cranbrook, that was reflective of the average sale price in the City had 2010 property taxes of $2,294.00 that same home now has a 2014 tax bill of $2,737.00 nearly 19% higher in 4 years. This analysis takes into consideration tax rates and fluctuating assessed values. Cranbrook is already at a disadvantage on a competitive tax scale to attract business & residents and yet the 5 year financial plan shows that we are going to continue down this dangerous path. The City’s 5 year financial plan is projecting revenue from taxation to be more
than 25% higher than 2014. This forecasted increase somehow will have to come from the tax base. Examining the 5 year financial plan there are several budget items that need to be questioned by candidates. Scrutinize the City’s annual reports available on their website and see the incredible growth in spending over the past 3 years. Now I am sure there are reasonable explanations to all of this spending, but as taxpayers can we afford it? As taxpayers we should be asking all of our candidates including the incumbents “How will you manage our taxpaying dollar better? “ Our current council has been caught in spending nightmares that are abundant and wasteful. So, should this election be about roads? Or should it be about fiscal restraint. If we manage the taxpayer dollars better at city hall perhaps then we could find the resources to adequately fund the core services of our municipality including roads. As a taxpayer are you prepared for a 25% increase in taxation over the next 5 years? It was Benjamin Franklin who said “Watch the Pennies and the Dollars will take care of themselves…” Jason & Christy Wheeldon Cranbrook
Election issues In 2011 the Provincial Government increased the home owner grant by $200.00 from carbon tax revenues to help seniors 65+ years of age. Unfortunately waving a few bucks in front of City Management, the Mayor & Councillors is like a Red Cape to El Toro, they charged right in like they felt they were entitled to half the seniors windfall and increased the flat tax by $100.00 to create a Infrastructure reserve fund. In 2011 this new tax generated revenue of $287,695 with no expenditures. In 2012 it generated an additional $302,583. Expenditures included Gerry Sorenson paving $14,827, Archibald Bridge$49,370, Mark Creek Slough $30,000, Marsden Bridge $20,000. Fund Balance $476,081. Revenue in 2013 was $314,812. Expenditures included Gerry Sorenson paving $5,090, Halpin retaining walls $20,000, 5th Ave storm main $21,714, Rotary Dr. Paving $508,652, Waldie road paving $7,033, Knighton Rd. Paving $97,382, Levirs Paving $42,843. Fund balance $88,178. Revenue in 2014 was $327,707 Expenditures include Dahlgren storm main $70,000, 5Th Ave. Storm main $ 54,198, Ross/ Knighton storm $160,000, St. Mary paving $30,980, Ditches & swales $$40,000, Deactivate watershed road $20,000, Decommission sidewalks $20,000, Sidewalk letdowns & curbs. Fund balance $707.00. In summary this tax only applies to residential property owners so residential taxpayers footed 100% of the cost of all the above listed expenditures totalling $1,232,089.00. Also, this program was so popular with the City; they have decided to come back for the other half of the home owner grant by establishing a new $107.59 water and sewer flat tax which will be included in your property tax bill in 2015. This new flat tax coupled with a $100.00 increase in your annual water, sewer garbage fees will amount to another sad day for Kimberley seniors and probably most other residents as well.

Return of Reinhart Star forward assigned back to Ice by NHL’s Buffalo Sabres Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Sam Reinhart is coming back to Cranbrook. The Buffalo Sabres assigned the 18-year-old forward to the Kootenay Ice Friday morning. “Getting a player back of the calibre of Sam Reinhart, Christmas has come early for our organization,” said Kootenay Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth. “We didn’t expect to get him back, but we have and we’ll do whatever we can to get him ready to play at the next level next year. “I think it will be great for our hockey club. His leadership will be felt throughout the rest of the dressing room.” Reinhart is expected back in Cranbrook by midweek, meaning he could be available to suit up for the Ice as early as Friday when the Edmonton Oil Kings visit Western Financial Place. “Obviously we all wanted the best for him -- to play pro -- but, it works out we’ve got the
best player in the league coming to our team,” said Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau Saturday night. “He just makes everyone around him better. He’s a good leader. He’s our captain. He’s going to help lead by example and try to help us get back in the win column.” The Sabres made the announcement via Twitter Friday, Oct. 31. “He’s just not heavy enough. He’s not strong enough yet,” said Sabres general manager Tim Murray in a team press conference Oct. 31. “As it went on here, it looked like he came up to the pace of the game. To me, that’s not an issue. Just by getting stronger, he’s going to get quicker and faster. “It’s not hockey sense, it’s not skill [that is the issue]. For me, it’s strength. If he had been playing second-line minutes, we might not be having this conversation right now. “I told him, you’re my first first-round draft
pick as a GM. Obviously, I was cheering for him. But I can’t let emotion come into play in the decision. It has to be the decision that’s right for, number one, the organization, and number two, him.” Reinhart, the second-overall selection at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, skated in nine games with the Sabres, tallying one assist. He played his ninth game for the Sabres Oct. 30, seeing the ice for eight shifts, in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins. “Every player is different, but our main concern is what’s best for Sam,” said Sabres coach Ted Nolan in a team press conference Oct. 31. “The consensus was, we all know his hockey intelligence, we all know he’s going to be a big, big player here down the road. Sometimes that human development happens naturally. He’s going to get stronger naturally.
“He’s a fine young man.” As captain of the Kootenay Ice during the 2013-14 WHL season, the native of North Vancouver led the team with 105 points (36G, 69A) in 60 games. He was named the WHL Player of the Year, in addition to being recognized as the WHL’s Most Sportsmanlike Player and CHL Sportsman of the Year. The 185-pound forward was named to Canada’s Entry at the 2014 World Junior Hockey Championship where he posted two goals and five points in seven games. Reinhart was also a member of Team WHL’s entry into the 2013 WHL Super Series as well as the WHL East First AllStar Team. “It’s obviously a really big boost,” said forward Levi Cable Saturday night. “He’s probably one of the better players in the league, if not the best. He not only brings that on the ice, but he brings a lot of leadership
Drama in Iceland
Kootenay Ice halt seven-game skid with offensive flurry against Hurricanes Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
It happened in the blink of an eye. The puck had barely been dropped before Kootenay Ice forward Jaedon Descheneau broke into Lethbridge Hurricanes territory, split the defence and slid the overtime winner past goaltender Zac Robidoux, vaulting the Ice to a 6-5 triumph. “[Luke Philp] made a good play protecting the puck off the face-off and brought it over, kind of tried to go into their zone but got held up,” Descheneau said after the win. “I went over to help him and luckily the puck came to me. When I got it, their [defencemen’s] gap wasn’t very good so I had a lot of space to try to do something and luckily I was able to get around their ‘D’ and slide it through the five-hole.”
It took Descheneau a mere 10 seconds to score Saturday’s game-winner, a stark contrast to his team’s losing streak that seemed to have stretched on for ages. Descheneau’s eighth goal of the year prevented an eight-game losing skid for the Kootenay Ice, whose overtime defeat of the Lethbridge Hurricanes was the team’s first victory since a 1-0 shutout of the Regina Pats Oct. 17. “It’s huge. Right now we’re just taking it in, but one game’s not going to do anything for us,” Descheneau added. “We need to roll here. We’re going to have a good week of practice and get things going next weekend. A couple wins next weekend would be huge for us to get ourselves back in the mix.” The 19-year-old winger finished the night with a goal and two assists.
Despite the jubilation following the game, the win didn’t come easy for Descheneau and the Ice. After opening up a four-goal lead before the mid-mark of the second period, the Ice surrendered five consecutive goals to the Hurricanes, including three to overage forward Zane Jones. Jones was discarded by the Everett Silvertips early in the season, traded to the Hurricanes for a fourth-round bantam pick. The 6-foot-3 winger carried the Hurricanes on his back Saturday night, capitalizing three times in a span of 9:47 during the second period. Forward Taylor Cooper capped the visitors’ offensive storm with a third-period goal after being left completely alone on the doorstep of Wyatt Hoflin’s crease. The marker turned Western Financial Place
into a library as the 2,113 in attendance were silenced. “We need to not get ahead of ourselves,” said forward Levi Cable. “When we had the 4-0 lead, we need to keep our D-zone and not just worry about the offensive zone. We’ve got to worry about the defensive zone first and then offense will come.” With 1:34 to play in regulation, the hosts were on the receiving end of a two-man advantage after defenceman Andrew Nielsen hauled down Austin Vetterl in the slot. With Hoflin on the bench for a sixth attacker, defenceman Rinat Valiev unloaded a cannon from the point, which caromed off the back boards to Cable who managed to bank it past Robidoux to force overtime.

Dramatic end to losing streak for Ice Continued from page 8 “It actually was another lucky one,” Cable said with a laugh. “It just ended up going off the goalie’s back, off the post and in. Fortunate for that bounce, but glad it went in.” The veteran forward earned his third of the season in Friday night’s
Bruins extend coach Julien Associated Press
BOSTON - Claude Julien, who led the Boston Bruins to the playoffs in each of his seven full seasons as coach, has signed a multiyear contract extension. Julien coached the Bruins to the Stanley Cup championship in 2010-11 and is the longest serving coach in consecutive seasons in the team’s history. “Claude is one of the top coaches in the NHL and has consistently shown a passion for winning,” general manager Peter Chiarelli said Sunday in announcing the signing. The length of the extension was not disclosed. Julien is in his eighth season with the Bruins and is the second-longest tenured NHL coach with the same team. Mike Babcock is in his 10th season with the Detroit Red Wings. “Coaching is a difficult profession at the best of times and what Claude does in implementing structure in his systems, and having a solid defensive foundation while allowing freedom in offensive play is no easy task,” Chiarelli said. “During his time with the Bruins, he has excelled in maintaining this difficult balance, and his longevity here speaks volumes.” Julien also led the Bruins to the Stanley Cup finals in 2012-13, but lost in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks. He has a 317-171-65 record with them and led the Bruins to the NHL’s best regular-season record in 2013-14. They’ve been hurt by injuries to defencemen this season and are off to a mediocre start with a 7-6 record after Saturday night’s 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators.

7-3 loss to the Red Deer Rebels. Another double-bank shot from Cable victimized Rebels goaltender Rylan Toth after first hitting iron. Cable, a 20-year-old native of Hudson Bay, Man., had himself a strong weekend offensively, registering three
more helpers Saturday. “Those two guys are pretty skilled players,” Vetterl said Friday. “I just get them the puck, try to create space for them and get open or get to the net and keep my stick on the ice, because you know those guys are going to find me.” Philp and defence-
man Rinat Valiev each had productive fourpoint weekends. Philp gathered a goal and three assists, while the big Russian blue-liner blasted two goals and added two assists. The win boosts Kootenay’s record to 4-13-00. Next up, the Ice host
the Edmonton Oil Kings (9-5-0-2) Friday, Nov. 7. The Hurricanes look towards the Swift Current Broncos (10-7-0-2), who visit Lethbridge the same night. Notes: F Tim Bozon, F Jon Martin, D Tyler Martin and D Tanner Faith all missed Saturday’s game due to injury, leav-
ing the Ice to skate one player short of a full bench. Faith was banged up following a fight with Rebels defenceman Devan Fafard late in Friday’s 7-3 loss…F Sam Reinhart was not available for either game and is expected to join the team this week...

The Cods are coming: Prepare to go wild For the Townsman This past year has been a whirlwind for Vernon based Modern Celtic Folk Rock band, Cod Gone Wild, performing over 125 shows across Western Canada in 2013 and are on track to do about the same this year after a crazy summer that saw the band travel as far south as San Francisco and as far north as Fort McMurray and many places in between. Things are not about to slow down for the band, as they are planning even more shows and travel this year with dates booked into 2016. The band was also selected to perform at various summer music festivals all over Western Canada in 2014, including headlining the Kootenay Music Festival in Castlegar and Arts on the Edge in Kimberley. “The Kootenay’s have been very kind to us over the last couple of years,” says Andrew Mercer, lead singer/ guitarist and transplanted Newfound-
lander. “We always get so much support and appreciative audiences in the region and we can’t wait to perform for the first time in Cranbrook at the Key City Theatre!” The Cods did manage to fit in some time to write and record a new album last winter entitled “Battered and Fried,” which was released in conjunction with their annual St. Patrick’s Day shows in communities around the Okanagan Valley. An album that Mercer says represents the evolution of the band. “We are extremely proud of the new record. As a group of musicians playing together for the last three years, we have evolved musically as a group and as individuals. The new album represents just that and we have found our sound, developed our style, and have set the bar a little higher for ourselves and for what is to come in the future.” The Cods will be bringing their high en-

Ride-sharing company spooks B.C. taxi firms Tom Fletcher Black Press
The potential Halloween arrival of a smartphone-based ride service has established taxi companies spooked, and B.C. politicians warning about the consequences for passenger safety and the viability of local businesses. Ride sharing businesses such as Uber are welcome in B.C. as long as they follow the same rules as taxi and limousine companies, including a chauffeur driver’s licence, inspection and taxi licensing required by provincial law, Transportation Minister Todd Stone says. Stone said Uber tried to operate in B.C. in 2012 but didn’t acquire licenses and was shut down by a cease-anddesist order from the ministry’s Passenger Transportation Branch, which regulates taxis. He called a news conference after reports that Uber was restarting op-
erations in Vancouver, where customers frequently complain they can’t get a taxi on busy weekend nights. Stone said anyone caught regularly providing rides for money without a taxi licence faces a fine up to $1,000. If they are in an accident, their passengers are covered by third-party liability insurance, but ICBC warns that the driver or vehicle owner takes the insurance risk. A driver in an accident while working for Uber would likely be found in breach of ICBC insurance terms, and could be required to repay claims made against the driver as well as for the driver’s own injuries and vehicle damage, said ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman. NDP leader John Horgan called his own news conference at the legislature, flanked by representatives of Victoria cab companies. Horgan is introducing a pri-
vate members’ bill next week that calls for fines to be raised as high as $20,000. Sean Convy, general manager of Victoria Taxi, said there are multiple cases of personal injury lawsuits against Uber, which takes revenues from taxi companies but whose drivers don’t meet the same regulations. “We pay on average $12-15,000 per vehicle a year to be safe on the roads,” Convy said. “That’s an assurance that the passengers jumping into our vehicles can give to themselves when they ride with us.” Uber invites private vehicle owners to sign up and takes a 20 per cent share of fares they collect. Customers download a smartphone app that identifies where and when they want a ride and pay the fare through the Uber network.

French president making first official trip to western Canada C anadian Press
BANFF, Alta. - Prime Minister Stephen Harper is playing tour guide today as he hosts the president of France in Banff National Park in Alberta. Francois Hollande is the first French president to make an official visit to western Canada. Harper met Hollande in Calgary this morning and the two will make r mbe vecar. the 90 minute trip to Banff Noby They’re expected to discuss greater co-operation on international security and threats, trade and economic development, innovation, and broader people-to-people ties. Hollande will also address Parliament and is also scheduled to visit Montreal and Quebec City. While in Banff both men will attend a state dinner hosted by Gov. Gen. David Johnston. The last French president to make a formal state visit to Canada was
Francois Mitterrand in 1987, although Nicholas Sarkozy attended a European Union-Canada summit in 2008. Hollande will be accompanied by several cabinet ministers and a large business and academic delegation. France is Canada’s eighth-largest commercial partner, with bilateral merchandise trade totalling more than $8.5 billion 4in 2013. 201Conservative cabinet 21Astsenior minister said it is significant that Hollande has decided to visit Western Canada. “It’s not a coincidence that President Hollande asked to come to Alberta because I think the Europeans increasingly see Alberta as an engine of the Canadian economy. I think the largest French investments in Canada are here,” said federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney. “Many European and governments around the world are growing their footprint in Alberta for that reason.”

together on many projects in the past. This current gift of $5,000 will be one of the Leadership Gifts as part of the soon to be released Intensive Care Capital Campaign. The regional hospital foundation is undertaking a major campaign to purchase critical medical equipment for the new 6-bed intensive care unit at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The ICU equipment fundraising goal is $1 million. EKFH has committed to raise funds for the equipment which frees up a portion of Ministry and KERHD funding for the project
that will now be used to renovate the old ICU area into which the existing pediatric unit will move. EKFH will officially launch its new ICU equipment campaign in the weeks ahead. Fundraising for the ICU equipment will also become the focal point for EKFH’s annual holiday fundraiser the Starlite Campaign. Thank you BMO…. Your leadership gift will become the 2nd star to light the path for others who find themselves in need of the best in intensive care at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old high school freshman who is depressed about my future. As a result of my premature birth, I have a heart defect and lung problems and am very small for my age. Recently, my family went to a local park. It was humid, and I was so worn out that my older brother let me ride on his back. Some classmates saw me and thought it was funny, so now all the kids at school have nicknamed me “Baby.” But what really depresses me is the thought that I’m always going to be smaller than my peers. My doctor estimates I probably won’t grow taller than 5-foot-1. I want to be a normal teenager. I want a girlfriend and to have fun hanging out with my friends. Our school is having a freshman dance. I want to take a date, but every girl I have asked has turned me down, and some have even laughed at me. One female friend told me girls think I’m cute, but they’d be embarrassed to be seen with me. I am scared this is how things are always going to be for me. I don’t want to live a lonely life. I want to have kids someday. I have had fleeting thoughts of suicide, but I would never do that to my family. Any advice on how I can make myself taller so girls will stop seeing me as a little kid? -- Too Small Dear Too Small: We won’t lie to you. It is more difficult for men of small stature to attract women, but it isn’t impossible. First, you have to meet girls who are more mature than 14-year-olds who are overly concerned with appearances. You’ll have better luck out of high school. In the meantime, develop your personality so you are attractive to someone who is interested in a kind, decent, intelligent guy with a good sense of humor, no matter how tall he is. And for inspiration, consider all the male celebrities who are not exactly towering over you -- guys like Prince, Jon Stewart, Tom Cruise, Martin Scorsese, Kevin Hart, Josh Hutcherson, Ringo Starr, Dustin Hoffman, Spud Webb, George Stephanopoulos, Paul Simon, James Madison and Seth Green. Their height didn’t stop them. Dear Annie: My parents divorced 10 years ago. My two sisters and I, all in our 30s, reacted very differently when Dad recently remarried. I was delighted to see him with someone who makes him happy. His new wife is a pleasant lady who is nice to us and fully understands that she is not our mother. My sisters, however, declared that they want nothing to do with his new wife, although they’ll keep seeing Dad. I told them their attitude is silly, childish and unworkable. Now they have turned on me, claiming that I am “insensitive.” I think their selfishness and sense of possession are beyond all reason. What do you think? -- Troubled in New York Dear N.Y.: Your sisters are behaving like jealous lovers. It may even be misplaced “loyalty” to Mom. But you need to stay out of it. Simply tell your sisters that however they choose to treat Dad and his wife is up to them, but you plan to welcome her with open arms because she makes Dad happy. Then say no more about it. Their attitude is not your responsibility. We hope, in time, they will come around. Dear Annie: I disagree with your advice to “Unhappy Neighbor,” who did not want to confront a volatile neighbor about trimming the tree that reached over his property line. He shouldn’t have to pay any legal costs. “Unhappy” should check with his local municipality to ensure he’s entitled to cut any branches over his property line, and then advise the neighbor in writing of his intention to trim the branches and when he will do the work. If the neighbor so much as pokes him with a finger, physical assault charges should be filed immediately. -Pennsylvania Constable Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Your market changes constantly. Advertising is tremendously helpful in directing customers to the product and services they need, and helps put you ahead of your competition.
2. Your Competition Isn’t Quitting. You’ve got to advertise to get your share of business or lose it to the stores that do. If you cut back on your advertising, you may forfeit new prospective customers to your competition.
3. Advantage Over Competitors Who Cut Back. A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.
4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image. When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.
To advertise using our “SERVICES GUIDE” in the Cranbrook Daily Townsman, Kimberley Daily Bulletin and The Valley, call us at 250-426-5201, ext. 202.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.
8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate. Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.
9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.
