ELECTION 2014
Chamber encouraging voter turnout Last election cycle, Cranbrook had an abysmal voter turnout, as only 30 per cent of the city’s eligible voters showed up to cast their ballots. The Chamber of Commerce is doing their part to try and get the vote out when the polls open for the general election on Nov. 15. The Chamber has worked with their members to develop a
few strategies to encourage people to vote, mainly by utilizing social media and promoting the election in their businesses. Chamber president Dave Butler emphasizes that the organization is apolitical—the Chamber is not supporting or promoting any particular candidate for mayor or council—but voter turnout has to be better, he adds.

Cranbrook celebrates new Habitat home and hearth
Jacqui Bourque has lived in Red Deer for WHL team’s entire Kootenay career BARRY COULTER
Jacqui Bourque’s departure from Cranbrook 16 years ago coincided almost exactly with the arrival of the Edmonton Ice — now Kootenay Ice — of the WHL. Since then, Bourque, who moved to Red Deer for work and who has
lived there ever since, has been one of the Kootenay Ice’s most fervent supporters and believers. As often as she can, she makes the trek from Red Deer to Cranbrook to cheer the Ice on.

Saturday, Nov. 1, was a landmark day for Cranbrook, for the Berry family and for the Habitat For Humanity organization. A ceremony was held that morning at the newly finished home, completely volun-

who first approached the City of Cranbrook about building a home here. Gord Johnston, Project Leader, handed over the keys to the house to David and Coreena Berry and their four children Hana, Jordan, Alysha and Samantha

The Ice have been to the national championship — the Memorial Cup — three times, winning it in 2002. “I’ve seen this team grow over the years,” Bourque said. “I think the Kootenay Ice have been a real cultural catalyst for Cranbrook. And the arena (Western Financial Place) is great. There have been concerts here that we couldn’t get in Red Deer. “I get back here as often as I can, for safe travel.” The Kootenay Ice are important part of the fabric of Cranbrook, and Bourque believes their continued presence will continue to be a boon for the community. “Over the years coming here I’ve met huge supporters of the Ice,” she said. “It’s really for them that I want the Ice to continue to grow here.”

Local NEWS Proposal will bring solar pilot project to Cranbrook Arne Petryshen
On the heels of the SunMine project work in Kimberley, the City of Cranbrook outlined a proposal that would bring a similar project to this city. In August 2013, a Vancouver-based private solar power company, P2 Solar Inc, approached the city with a proposal for a similar, but smaller-scaled project to the one in Kimberley. The main difference being that while the $5.3 million project in Kimberley is dependent on grants and $2 million in municipal dept financing, the P2
Solar project proposal would be financed entirely by private investors. CAO Wayne Staudt said the city and P2 Solar are working on a 25 year lease agreement for a vacant two-hectare parcel at the spray irrigation fields. The pilot solar farm is projected to be in operation in spring 2015, and testing of some of the equipment in winter weather is being worked out with the airport. Mayor Wayne Stetski was exited to see this project. “Sunniest city in B.C… we talked about
that a little bit and we’re finally starting to see some uptake on that particular concept,” Stetski said. “Having the solar plant associated with the city is going to be great, particularly since it doesn’t cost us anything. All of the financial investment comes from the company.” CAO Wayne Staudt said the other potential positive would be that the city could tap into the electricity that will be produced out there and use it at the spray irrigation site. “A significant cost at the spray irrigation is
our electricity bill and we know that is going up as a result of hydro rates going up,” Staudt said. “So if this thing turns out to be a positive venture for P2 Solar, then we will be able to tie into this system and start using that electricity.” Coun. Denise Pallesen said it will be exciting once the company gets up and running, but had concerns with the $5 annual lease fee that P2 Solar will be paying for the first 10 years. “We don’t do that for anybody or any other business that I’m aware of. I’m a bit concerned,
at $5 a year I have some real concerns about it.” Staudt said the reason is that the company will likely not be generating any revenue itself in the next 10 years. “They don’t know if there’s enough sunshine or anything else like that,” Staudt said. “They are making a major investment, I don’t know how large that investment is, but it’s a significant investment.” Staudt said that land is not generating any revenue and because the land is located on a hillside it won’t be used for irrigation or agricultural purposes.
“So it’s not like we’re displacing existing revenue and giving it to them for $5 a year,” Staudt said. “Even the $5 a year is more than we’re getting currently.” Mayor Stetski noted that if the company is successful after 10 years, the city will receive a minimum of five per cent of gross electrical revenues, which could amount to $10,000 a year, for the balance of the 25 year term. In addition, if the facility exceeds annual projections, the city will receive 25 per cent of those revenues that exceed projections.
“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see,” Stetski said. Bob Whetham noted that he’s pleased the proposal is going forward. “This is not a proven business, this is an exploratory activity as I understand it,” Whetham said. “I think it’s a little different from opening a well understood business in normal fashion.” He said the city is in some respects partnering in an exploratory measure to see whether or not it is a practical thing to do.
Crime down, impaired charges up Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff
Cranbrook RCMP presented the quarterly report to city council on Monday, Nov. 3, and while serious crime is down, roadside driving charges have seen an increase from this time in 2013. The quarterly statistics from the Cranbrook RCMP compare the third quarter statistics from 2014 to those from 2013. It looks at crime statistics, administration and operational issues and the detachment’s progress with Community Policing programs from July to September. In that period, the detachment received 2,230 calls to service, an 8.7 per cent decrease from last year. There was also a marked decrease in prisoners held from 772 in 2013, to 682 in 2014. “The big changes that we see are impaired driving charges,” Sgt.
Brendan McKenna told council. “Year to date our charges have almost doubled since last year.” There were 13 impaired/refusal charges in 2014, as compared to only 7 in 2013. There were 62 Immediate Roadside Prohibitions this quarter as opposed to 47 in the same quarter last year. “It’s concerning in a way that it reinforces that people are still drinking and driving,” he said. Person offences, which include assaults, sexual assaults, assault with a weapon, robbery, threats, and criminal harassment, stayed almost level in the quarter, at 103 in 2014 compared to 101 in 2013. However, the total year’s
stats are down 14.2 per cent from last year. Property related offences, which includes break, enter and theft, mischief to property, thefts and thefts from vehicles, were down 17 per cent in the this quarter, at 215 compared to 259 in 2013. For the total year that change is 23.9 per cent decrease from last year. Other criminal code offences, which includes cause a disturbance, breach/bail violations, firearm offences, public mischief, obstruct a police officer and counterfeit currency, dropped by 10.9 per cent, at 82 in for the quarter 2014 compared to 92 in 2013. The total year change was a 26.5 per cent decrease.
There was also a decrease in trafficking and possession of cocaine, marijuana and other drugs under the Controller Drugs and Substances Act. While the total drug files stayed relatively the same at 36 in 2014 from 35 in 2013, drug file charges dropped 40 per cent to only 2 in the quarter of 2014, from 5 in the quarter in 2013. Year to date drug files also dropped to 84, from 107 in 2013, or 21.5 per cent. The year to date charges dropped 44.4 per cent to 16 in 2014 from 29 in 2013. Motor vehicle accidents were up for the year so far, with a 14.8 per cent increase in injury motor vehicle acci-

dents. There were no fatal accidents in either year in the city. “We haven’t had any fatalities here in the city, which we’re thankful for,” McKenna said.

GUEST EDITORIAL: A MOVEMBER MESSAGE
Get informed: Get that PSA score
H
ere we are at the beginning of the month of Movember, where men across Canada and many other countries of the world are growing mustaches to shed some light on men’s health concerns and the need to look after ourselves. And, lo and behold, there comes a government committee, the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care which has made recommendations in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, that say doctors should not order PSA (prostate specific antigen) tests for their patients. Many prostate cancer patients will die from other causes before the prostate cancer gets them, but we still have 4,000 Canadian men per year dying from prostate cancer. Apparently the task force is concerned that we may end up treating too many men who really don’t require treatment. The difficulty seems to be that some prostate cancers are slow-growing and do not result in overt symptoms. While some other men get very aggressive cases of prostate cancer where the cancer cells escape the prostate and metastasise to the bones. These men are left with hormone therapies that come with some pretty devastating side effects, and when the hormones stop working, death ensues. When a patient gets an annual checkup, blood tests for cholesterol, blood sugars etc., are done and they just take an extra small amount of blood to check the PSA level (as indicated by a number). PSA is a protein in the blood that is only produced by prostate cells. Prostate cancer cells produce it at a higher rate. A single PSA number on its own is not
as significant as a set of numbers showing a trend over time. Because of that, we recommend that men over the age of 40 get a test to see what their base score might be, and every few years after that, a PSA test should be done to indicate if the level is growing at a slow or concerning rate. There may have been a time when a high PSA score (over four) led to an immediate order for a biopsy. However, urologists today are seeing more patients who are using Active Surveillance, where slightly high numbers are being watched closely, and men are encouraged to use good diet, exercise and overall good healthy living to assist the body to keep the cancer cells that may exist in check. But men can’t know if the cancer cells they have are aggressive or benign, unless they have a set of historical data to look at. We cannot take ownership of our health concerns unless we have the information we need to make appropriate decisions. And one of the pieces of information we need is the PSA number. We believe that family physicians not ordering a PSA test is a grave disservice to Canadian men. Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC) and the Prostate Cancer Foundation BC (PCFBC), of which we are members, have come out strongly opposing the resent task force recommendations. The task force did not have any representation from urologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists or anyone that is involved in treating men with prostate cancer. “According to new research, if PSA testing was eliminated, the cases of advanced (metastatic) prostate cancer would double, resulting in an estimated 13-20 per cent
increase in prostate cancer deaths annually. Early detection saves lives. The PSA test may not be perfect, but it’s the best indicator in clinical practice today to show that something may be wrong and it would be irresponsible to discontinue testing. Without PSA testing men could be diagnosed at a much later stage when death from the disease is much more likely.” This quote is taken from the PCC website: www.supportpsatests.ca. PSA on its own is not a perfect tool to detect cancer. But it is the best tool we have to indicate that a problem may exist. It is the only tool we have to spot problems early. And early detection is what saves lives. Waiting for prostate cancer symptoms to appear is just a recipe for serious consequences. So, to all you moustache-growers out there: Put down those razors. Grow that facial hair. Be a reminder to all men that they are responsible for their own health. Tell your doctor that you need to know your PSA score and you need to see if it is growing. Don’t panic over a single high score, but use all information to determine the best course of action for you. If you do have an issue and would like to meet with other men who have or had prostate cancer, our Cranbrook Support and Awareness Group is meeting at the College of the Rockies on Wednesday, November 19 at 7 p.m. in Room 205.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Mayor’s response
Wrong on both issues Mr. Wavercan (Letter to the Editor, Tuesday, Nov. 5). While some initial work was done by your Council in 2011, the Downtown Revitalization Tax Relief Bylaw was approved (adopted) on May 7, 2012, by this Mayor and Council. If you look at my campaign brochure from September of 2011 you will see that downtown revitalization was (and still is) a priority for me. You are one election out on my criticism of the City’s wastewater spray irrigation operation. In the 2008 election I was very concerned about how we were operating that site, as was the Province’s Environmental Appeal Board who said “Cranbrook had been thumbing its nose at the regulators.” By the 2011 election Mayor Manjak and the Council that you sat on had invested millions of taxpayers dollars to correct the problem and I had only comparatively minor concerns that this Council has largely addressed over the last three years. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities requests the presence of the Mayor from the city receiving their awards. City Engineer Jamie Hodge accompanied me to the award ceremony in
2012 and I immediately presented the award to Mr. Hodge. What I said at the Mayor’s forum at Key City was that the City had an award winning system. We agree about one thing from your letter Jim — facts are important…! Mayor Wayne Stetski Cranbrook
Fluoride vote
I would like to offer my appreciation for the way the City of Cranbrook has presented a balanced view of artificial water fluoridation on its website, including providing links to both pro and anti-fluoridation websites. This is a rare occurrence, though things are changing. As you may know, over 30 Canadian communities have stopped fluoridating their drinking water in the last four years alone. This is what happens when the public is adequately informed of the facts. Government health agencies, dental associations, the Centers for Disease Control and other such organizations have the weight of professional opinion (which is widely respected), but little else. When there is the political and scientific will to investigate the facts, the answer is
clear. There is a preponderance of evidence showing that ingested fluoride, even at the recommended “safe” concentration causes numerous long-term health effects. Our city, Lethbridge, Alberta, has fluoridated its drinking water for the last 40 years. However, we are confident this is about to change. As a catalyst to change, we have issued a rigorous scientific rebuttal that proves the incompetence and deception of Alberta Health Services in their promotion of artificial water fluoridation. It is the right of each individual to determine what medications enter into his/ her body. What doctor can prescribe a drug without the informed consent of the patient? Is artificial water fluoridation any different? Indeed, it’s worse because: 1) it’s a known toxic waste (hydrofluorosilicic acid), 2) there is no regard for dosage, and 3) there are far less harmful methods of delivering fluoride for those who want it. With the hope that the people of Cranbrook will choose wisely on this important issue on Nov. 15, for the health of all its citizens. Sean Fife Lethbridge, Alberta
It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of November 2 - 8 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives
1898 Board of Trade Organized … By eight o’clock on Thursday evening last, the hour announced for the meeting of citizens to complete an organization of a Board of Trade, the rooms over the Bank of Commerce were comfortably filled, showing that the people are alive to the fact that there are many matters of a public nature that must be looked after and the only way to accomplish results is by concerted action. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Smythe, and after stating the object of the gathering the report of the committee previously appointed to ascertain where rooms for the future use of the board could be had and at what cost was called for. The committee reported that suitable rooms could be secured in the Aiken block at a cost of $12 per month, including heat and light. The report of the committee was duly accepted. On motion of W. P. Reid the membership fee was placed at $1.00 for the first quarter and 75 cents per quarter thereafter, invariably to be paid in advance. This amount was considered sufficient to cover the cost of rent and leave a small surplus for stationery, stamps, etc. Illness of V. Hyde Baker ... The Herald is pleased to be enabled to announce that Mr. V. Hyde Baker, local townsite agent of Cranbrook, who has been seriously ill for the past four weeks with the prevailing fever, is on the improve, the disease having run its course and the patient coming out first best in the fight for life. The struggle was a hard one, made doubly so from the fact that Mr. Baker had never before been seriously sick and could scarcely be prevailed upon to remain in confinement. His recovery is largely due to the constant care and watchfulness during the early stages of his illness of Messrs. Joseph Laidlaw, A. B. Fenwick and F. P. Norbury, for many years
the old and tried friends of Mr. Baker, and latterly to the services of a trained nurse, in whose hands the sick man has been for the past ten days. Hyde’s friends will be pleased to learn of his complete recovery, which is now assured within a short while. Bovril … Is a condensed food, capable of preserving physical strength through any physical strain and is equally valuable to those requiring to use great mental strain. It has no equal for giving strength to the invalid and it will agree with the weakest stomachs. Get it from your druggist or grocer and test its value. School Books Received … Mr. Hutchison, secretary of the school board, has received a quantity of documents, books etc., in connection with the school, but the educational department forgot to write or send any letter of instructions. 1899 Americans Dance Well ... Americans are the best dancers in the world, says Carl Marwig. The Russians come second and the Spaniards third. The French and Germans do not count. When Americans dance abroad everyone else stops dancing to watch them. A leader of cotillions, Mr. Marwig believes, is born, not made. He must have a certain mental cleverness and quickness. His figures must be developed as the dance progresses. They must be simple, as well as attractive, and the man who is not a born cotillion leader will not make the dance a success. $4.95 Stradivarius Violin … Cut this advertisement out and send it to us with your name and your nearest express office and we will ship you this violin with outfit by express, subject to examination. Examine it at your express office, and if you find it exactly as we represent it and entirely satisfactory, pay the express agent our special price, $4.95 and express charges. This is a finely finished, regular $9.00 Stradivarius model violin, richly coloured, highly polished, powerful and sweet in tone. Complete with fine bow, extra set of strings and resin. A genuine bargain at the price. Buy direct from us and save the dealer’s
profit Johnston & McFarlane, Box W L, Toronto, Ont. Serious Accident ... Elmer Musgrave met with a serious accident last Tuesday and had a narrow escape from losing his eyesight. He was opening a bottle of muriatic acid to prepare a wash for his photograph work, when the bottle burst and the contents were thrown over his face. None reached his eyes, but his face was badly burned. 1900 Lost in the Bush ... Dan Dewar, one of the employees at Robinson & McKenzie’s Mill, went out hunting last Sunday. He failed to return that night and by morning his friends were worried. A searching party was organized about noon but they had not gone far before they met Dewar returning home. He had lost his way the evening before and wandered around until he found a shack where he secured shelter for the night. In the morning he got his bearings and soon located himself. Mature and Sprightly … Mr. Caraffel, who has been working with the road crew on Skookumchuck, walked into town on Friday night last, covering the distance between 30 and 40 miles, between sun down and sun up. The feat is remarkable as Mr. Caraffel is 75 years of age. C.P.R. House … The foundation for the C. P. R house that is to be occupied by Superintendent Cameron, is completed, and work on the structure will begin at once. 1901 Bridge Needed ... The building of Marysville and the great increase in importance of Perry Creek, has brought about a condition that demands a bridge over the St. Marys River near the mouth of that creek. This, with a road built from Cranbrook to the Mission road, a little more than five miles, would give a short route from Cranbrook to both Perry Creek and Marysville. In fact, it would not be over 12 miles to Marysville, instead of 20 by the present route, and not more than nine miles to Old Town on Perry Creek.

Hero of the day
Sam Reinhart is back and intent on helping the Kootenay Ice get on track Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players, according to famous playwright William Shakespeare. For Kootenay Ice forward Sam Reinhart, his script for the 2014-15 season didn’t include a return to Cranbrook after he was selected by the Buffalo Sabres with the second-overall pick at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Unfortunately for the native of North Vancouver, the Buffalo Sabres hold creative control over the production, and on Oct. 31, general manager Tim Murray decided it was time to revise and the 18-yearold pivot was on his way back to the WHL’s Kootenay Ice. “It’s certainly not the way I planned this year to go,” Reinhart said Wednesday afternoon before practice at Western Financial Place. “But there’s certainly a lot of things I can take out of that experience and take throughout the year, learn and build off of. “At that level, every shift you have to have that intensity. It’s not as much skating up and down the ice as fast as you can, it’s just intensity and urgency on the puck. You have to go and want it.” The Sabres didn’t question Reinhart’s desire to “want it” out on the ice. In addressing the media Oct. 31, Murray said the decision came down to Reinhart’s size and strength. The 2013-14 WHL Player of the Year skated in nine games for the Buffalo Sabres, tallying one assist while averaging 10:21 of ice time. By
returning the native of North Vancouver to major junior prior to playing his 10th game of the NHL season, the Sabres avoid burning the first year of Reinhart’s three-year, $10.725-million entry-level contract. “It was pretty exciting. I thought I handled it pretty well,” Reinhart said of his NHL experience. “There’s obviously a lot that went into that. But my focus now is here and getting better. Whenever my next opportunity up there is, I’m going to be sure to be ready for it.” Cranbrook is the locale for the latest scene in Reinhart’s campaign. As he strives to improve, so do the Kootenay Ice, sitting last in the WHL at 4-13-0-0. With 38 goals for, the Ice are the lowest-scoring team in the league and have also allowed the second-most goals against (76), ahead of only the Saskatoon Blades (78). After putting up 36 goals, 105 points and a plus-24 rating in 60 games during the 201314 WHL season, Reinhart will help stabilize the Ice in all facets of the game. But Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill suggested fans should temper their expectations for offensive output from the 2013-14 CHL Sportsman of the Year, at least for this weekend. “He’s been playing with premier players that move the puck fast and I would suspect that some of our guys are going to be a step behind for his passing,” McGill said Wednesday afternoon. “I’ve seen it before and I’ve got enough experience at those levels and this level here, that he will be
way ahead of people. Our job is to make sure he doesn’t get frustrated with that.” As far as McGill is concerned, the stabilizing factor Reinhart provides comes in filling out the lineup in a way that puts the rest of his teammates in positions where they can comfortably focus on doing what they do best, building confidence along the way. While the situation might seem black and white at this point, the complication that will linger is in how the promising young prospect continues to develop. The Sabres want Reinhart working on his strength throughout this season. As simple as it sounds, McGill isn’t convinced it’s completely realistic. “Pretty tough to improve your strength during the season,” McGill said. “With him travelling next weekend to Saskatoon and Brandon [for the CHL Subway Super Series] and then probably a little bit less than a month later travelling to Toronto [for the 2015 World Junior Hockey Championships] and with our schedule, he’s going to have to probably do as much as he can without jeopardizing his habits when it comes to rest. “It’s going to be a very big, fine line balancing trying to get stronger and it’s not something you can do during the season. During the season usually is maintaining your strength rather than gaining strength. If you’re gaining strength during the season, you’re usually not giving 100 per cent on the ice.” How Reinhart handles the challenge of
walking that tightrope will begin to unfold Friday when he makes his 2014-15 WHL debut as the Kootenay Ice welcome the Edmonton Oil Kings to Western Financial Place at 7 p.m. With eight first-year cast members in the Kootenay Ice dressing room, there remains some familiarizing to do ahead of Friday, but as far as Buffalo’s blue-chipper is concerned, the situation is promising. “The mood seems pretty good right now and that’s obviously a positive thing,” Reinhart said. “For me coming back, that’s a great thing to see and I’m obviously excited to turn this thing around.” Though his original script had him cast with the Sabres, the latest revision has Sam Reinhart playing hero with the Kootenay Ice.

Morgan Klimchuk isn’t buying the theory that the Subway Super Series is nothing more than a glorified all-star game. The Regina Pats’ left winger believes a strong showing against the Russians could help earn him a tryout with the Canadian world junior team — perhaps even a spot on the final 22-man roster. “They told us in the summer camp how seriously they’re going to use the Super Series for the evaluation process,” said Klimchuk, who was named to Team WHL on Oct. 16 — two days before he returned from a wrist injury. “To be named to the team before I even played was pretty special
because (it means) I’m on the radar.” Hockey Canada is expected to announce its world junior tryout roster shortly after the sixgame Super Series, which commences Monday in Brandon, followed by Game 2 on Tuesday in Saskatoon. The WHL typically plays host to the final two games of the series but this year it will open the event, followed by the OHL and QMJHL. Klimchuk’s presence on Team WHL isn’t a surprise considering he played in last year’s Super Series and was also invited this summer to Canada’s world junior development camp. He’s regarded as an elite WHL player and top NHL prospect, having been selected by the Calgary Flames in the first round

Pats Klimchuk sees great importance in Super Series Greg Harder Regina Leader-Post
Thursday, November 6, 2014
(28th overall) of the 2013 NHL draft. Still, Klimchuk won’t take anything for granted in his bid to represent Canada at the world junior tournament, Dec. 26-Jan. 5 in Montreal and Toronto. “It’s a big goal of mine,” said the 19-yearold Calgary native. “It’s one of those things you obviously want really bad. That’s probably one of the hardest Hockey Canada teams to make other than the Olympic team. I’ve gone through the process. I played U16, U17, U18. That’s the next goal but I have to focus on what I can control and show them I deserve to be on the team. That’s really all you can do.” Klimchuk played in both Super Series games last year against the Rus-
sian Selects, recording one assist. Team WHL split the final two games, losing 3-2 and prevailing 4-2. As a result, the series ended in a 3-3 tie but the CHL won in a tiebreaker. Klimchuk was hurt in the final game, suffering a hip flexor injury which forced him to miss Regina’s next 14 games. This year, Klimchuk missed the first nine games of Regina’s season due to the aforementioned wrist injury, which occurred during an NHL exhibition game. He has played in the Pats’ last eight games and feels like he’s rounding into form, notching four goals and five assists. Klimchuk is no stranger to representing Canada, having won two gold medals with the under-18 program. A

The Kootenay Ice will be represented by three players at the CHL Subway Super Series this year, led by forward Sam Reinhart, who in addition to being named to the team Monday afternoon, was named captain of the star-studded squad. “It’s a huge honour. Anytime you can lead a team of that calibre, it’s a pretty exciting honour,” Reinhart said Wednesday afternoon. “If you look around at the roster, there’s not too many guys that aren’t in leadership roles on their own team, so it almost makes that job easier. With that being said, I have experience at that level with the Subway Series and I’m going to bring everything I can to help everyone else.” Reinhart will be joined by forward Jaedon Descheneau, who was on the original Team WHL roster released Oct. 16. While the two Kootenay Ice teammates will skate together for Team WHL, they’ll have to keep their heads up for defenceman Rinat Valiev. Wednesday afterhandful of players from those teams will be competing in the Super Series as well as Canada’s tryout camp, including shoo-ins Sam Reinhart and Connor McDavid. Klimchuk was their linemate at the 2013 world under-18 championship and would love to reprise that role at the world juniors, but first things first. “It’s hard not to think about but I wouldn’t say it’s weighing on me at all,” he added. “I just try to go out there and work hard and whatever happens happens. That’s the mindset you have to have, make sure you’re doing everything right every day and working hard and contributing. The rest will take care of itself.”
noon, it was announced the Russian blueliner and Kootenay Ice stalwart will suit up for Team Russia. “It means a lot for me,” Valiev said Wednesday afternoon. “I’m always proud to play for Team Russia at any level. I’m really happy. “[Descheneau and Reinhart] are really good players. I’ll have to take care of those two guys.” The light-hearted Russian added that, if given the chance to hit one of them, he would “destroy” Descheneau or Reinhart. Valiev was quick to clarify he was only joking, but said playing hard will still be a part of his game with Team Russia, just as it is with the Ice. Reinhart could only laugh and said, “Go ahead,” when he heard of Valiev’s plans. This marks the second appearance at the event for Descheneau and Valiev, while Reinhart makes his third trip to the Super Series. “These players are very well deserving because they’re highly-skilled players,” said Kootenay Ice head coach Ryan McGill. “It has everything to do with their ability to play the game at a high level.” Descheneau, a 2014 fifth-round pick (124th overall) of the St. Louis Blues, leads the Kootenay Ice in scoring with eight goals and 15 points in 15 games.
Valiev, a 2014 thirdround pick (68th overall) of the Toronto Maple Leafs, is producing at a point-per-game pace with two goals and five points after missing the team’s first 12 games of the regular season due to a lower-body injury. As for Reinhart, a 2014 first-round pick (second overall) of the Buffalo Sabres, he will play his first WHL game Friday night after being shipped back to major junior Oct. 31. Reinhart, Descheneau and Team WHL will face-off with Valiev and Team Russia in Game 1 of the Subway Super Series on Nov. 10 at SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon. Game 2 is slated for Nov. 11 at Keystone Centre in Brandon. In addition to naming Reinhart as captain of Team WHL, it was also announced that defenceman Josh Morrissey (Prince Albert Raiders) and forward Nicolas Petan (Portland Winterhawks) serve as assistant captains for both games. Kelowna Rockets’ defenceman Madisow Bowey will also serve as an assistant captain for Game 1 in Saskatoon, while Victoria Royal’s blue-liner Joe Hicketts will wear an ‘A’ for Game 2 in Brandon. Victoria Royals bench boss Dave Lowry will direct Team WHL with the help of assistant coach Kelly McCrimmon of the Brandon Wheat Kings.
NHL suspends Blue Jackets D Jack Johnson
C anadian Press
NEW YORK - The NHL has suspended Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Jack Johnson three games for an illegal check to the head of Carolina Hurricanes forward Jiri Tlusty. Johnson hit Tlusty with an open-ice check at 7:31 of the third period of Carolina’s 4-2 win in Columbus on Tues-
day. While the NHL said Tlusty was eligible to be checked on the play, it argued that Johnson unnecessarily raised his shoulder and made Tlusty’s head the principal point of contact. Tlusty was shaken up on the play and did not return to the game. Johnson was assessed a minor penalty for illegal check to the head. It’s the first time Johnson has been disciplined in his 502-game NHL career. He will forfeit US$70,276.50 in salary and will be eligible to return when the Blue Jackets visit Philadelphia on Nov. 14.

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Dave Butler
Many of you have heard me say that one of the Chamber’s main goals in 2014 is to be “more relevant to more businesses.” Throughout the late summer and fall, we’ve been very busy doing just that. As Small Business Month comes to close, I’m pleased that we were able to offer to our members a wide range of professional development seminars and networking opportunities during October. For those who participated, I hope you gained new ideas, or new connections, to build the success of your business.
During the year, the Chamber Directors and staff have focused considerable efforts on growing our membership. As a result of this hard work, I’m excited to confirm that we’ve added 59 businesses to our membership roster, which now brings us just shy of our goal of 500 total members. My sincere thanks to all of our new members, and to those existing businesses that renewed their membership during the year. The more businesses we have as members of the Chamber, the stronger we can be as the voice of the business community. If

you’re not a member, please give us a call so we can share the benefits of being part of this growing group. And speaking of Chamber involvement, this is the time of year when we look to add new Directors to our Board. We’ll have a few existing Directors who will move on to other challenges, but many will continue into 2015. If you are a member of the Chamber looking to help business succeed in Cranbrook, and if you want to bring your knowledge, your skills, your network and your passion to a dynamic local group, please contact me or Past-President Mike Adams via the Chamber office. With municipal election signs appearing around Cranbrook at the same rate as leaves on the trees are disappearing, we’ve recently spent a significant
amount of our time on two key initiatives.
willingness to play a role in Cranbrook’s future.
First, we chose to host two preelection forums, one for the mayoral candidates, and one for the candidates for Council. Our purpose for these was twofold. First, we want to give the business community the opportunity to hear the candidates share their views about business and the economy. More importantly, we want to encourage all candidates to think and talk openly about the important role that business plays in our economy. The questions posed to the candidates at the forums were submitted by our members and were vetted by a committee composed of Chamber Directors, Chamber staff and members. Best wishes to all of the candidates over the next couple of weeks; thank you for stepping up, and for your
In the 2011 election, I understand that our voter turnout was a shade over 30%. That seems disappointingly low. This year, the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce has thrown out a challenge to Cranbrook: let’s increase our voter turn-out, by working together, so we have the highest % of eligible voters voting in all of BC! If we can be the best in BC in 2014, imagine what it would say about our community and how much we care about our future. Every one of us can help to achieve this, and every one of us will feel a sense of pride when we reach it. Please help us get there by voting on November 15th. Let’s show the rest of BC why Cranbrook is the place to be.

Rhymes with Orange
By Hillary B. Price
ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Please tell me, when did alcoholism become a disease? A disease is when the body is ill and not functioning properly. According to Webster’s Dictionary, addiction is the quality or state of being addicted, and continues that it is a “compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance (as heroin, nicotine or alcohol) characterized by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal.” So why do alcoholics have a disease and those who abuse drugs are addicts? Why do we tolerate the double standard? -- Ventura, Calif. Dear Ventura: It’s not a double standard. Alcoholics are also addicts. The idea that addiction is a disease became popular in the ‘70s, when those treating addicts realized that stigmatizing them as simply lacking self-control and having character deficiencies was prejudicial and counterproductive to effective treatment. We now know that some people are genetically predisposed to becoming addicted and that repeatedly abusing drugs or alcohol can alter the brain. But there is some argument that addiction is not as similar to a medical disease as it is to a chronic disorder or compulsive behavior, which is why support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous can be so helpful. Dear Annie: A dear aunt passed away about six weeks ago. Unfortunately, I could not attend her out-of-town funeral due to the expense and my own health issues. But I knew she loved a particular flower, and I had the florist send some to the funeral home. I have heard nothing from the family, although even a short note would have been appreciated. How do I check to see whether the flowers arrived on time? I am uncomfortable calling the family. Can I check with the florist? Our income is limited, and an expensive bouquet takes thought and budgeting. Have we lost all our manners in this day and age? -- Dumfounded Niece Dear Niece: It can be difficult for family members to put aside their grief long enough to send thank-you notes and other acknowledgments, and it helps to have friends assist them. Yes, you can check with the florist. But there is nothing wrong with picking up the phone to call your relatives and express your condolences, share memories of your aunt and, in the course of the conversation, find out whether the flowers were received. Dear Annie: I am the 11-year-old boy who wrote to you about my brother-in-law who has been bullying me. I signed the letter “Your Friend.” When I saw your answer in my newspaper, I knew it was time to do something. I decided to start with my brother, who is in the Army. I emailed him before school and told him I had written you and asked him to find my letter on your website. He called me within 30 minutes, and I told him everything that “Chris” has been doing to me. He was so angry. He said he’d fix it. He called our parents and told them about my letter. My parents confronted Chris, who admitted everything, but said he was only joking. They didn’t believe him. My sister has taken Chris’ side, which I understand, but I don’t think he will ever bully me again. My dad made it clear that he is never to lay a hand on me. My mother and brother said similar things. That made me smile because I know I can count on my family to protect me. Thank you, Annie. You helped me fix this, and I love you for it. -- Your Friend Again Dear Friend: Your letter made our day! But it was your courage in confronting this issue that made the difference. We only pointed you in the right direction. Thanks so much for letting us know we helped. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

1. Advertise to Reach New Customers. 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. 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.
5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient. Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.
6. Advertise to Generate Traffic. Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.
7. Advertise to Make More Sales. 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. In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast. Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.
10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale. When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

New Apprentiship Advisor meets with local industry Arne Petryshen
On Tuesday night, local apprentices, employers and industry representatives had a chance to meet the new Industry Training Authority Apprenticeship Advisor for the Kootenay region, as well as the Industry Training Authority CEO, Gary Herman. The event, held at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort, was a chance for those various members of the industry to find out how the new regional position will have a positive impact on continuation and completion rates for apprenticeships. The authority leads and coordinates B.C.’s skilled trades system. The Kootenay’s Apprenticeship Advisor, Marlin Ratch, is in Cranbrook and brings over 18 years of experience in the coordination and direction of employment and training programs across B.C. Ratch will serve as an extension of the ITA Customer Support team, with
the primary focus of providing regional support to apprentices and sponsors. He has a background in Red Seal Chef training, and was most formerly director of the Employment and Training program for the Métis Nation of British Columbia. He developed training and special programming depending on group needs at the position. Bill Bennett, MLA for Kootenay East, said that now more than ever, B.C. needs young, talented tradespeople to help keep building the province and also fill jobs that are in critical demand across the province. “That is why it is great to see ITA-BC has introduced Marlin Ratch as the new apprenticeship advisor for Cranbrook,” Bennett said. “These advisors across the province are essential to help ensure students get the guidance and support they need to complete successfully their programs. I wish Marlin the very best in his new role
For the Townsman
Over 45 local apprentices, employers and industry representatives took the time to meet Marlin Ratch, the new Industry Training Authority (ITA) Apprenticeship Advisor for the Kootenay region, as well as ITA CEO, Gary Herman, on Tuesday night at the Prestige. and helping students in Cranbrook succeed.” Key responsibilities of the apprentiship advisor include building knowledge of the BC apprenticeship system, advising apprentices and sponsors, boosting apprentice success, and supporting apprentice and sponsor connections. In addition to his new role, Marlin will focus on working with
Aboriginal apprentices and developing initiatives to support Aboriginal Peoples throughout Cranbrook and the surrounding region. The introduction of the Apprenticeship Advisor initiative was the result of an in-depth, province-wide consultation into apprenticeship supports in 2013 that included input from multiple stakeholders. It
is also in direct response to the recently launched B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint as well as recommendations made in The Industry Training Authority and Trades Training in BC: Recalibrating for High Performance (the McDonald Report). ITA now has 10 Apprenticeship Advisors located in Cran-
brook, Dawson Creek, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Prince George, Terrace, Vancouver / Lower Mainland and Victoria regions. Three of the Apprenticeship Advisors, who are located in Cranbrook, Kamloops and Vancouver’s North Shore area, will also work on initiatives to support Aboriginal Peoples throughout the province.

Bill Bennett in Alaska to ease concerns over provincial mining Dirk Meissner Canadian Press

He said he is also meeting with Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican who has expressed concerns about the province’s mining industry. Aboriginal groups in Alaska have called for municipalities and organizations there to register concerns about B.C. mining issues and their potential impact in Alaska. “In a nutshell, the British Columbian government doesn’t give a damn about us over here,” said aboriginal leader Rob Sanderson Jr., in a recent statement. He is second vice-president of the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska. “British Columbia is up for sale to the highest bidder,” Sanderson said. “This is an issue that needs to be dealt with in (Washington) D.C. We live in the most pristine waters in the world, and we share that water with Canada … for Canada to have no regard for us here in Southeast Alaska is a shame.” Bennett said he needs to go to Alaska to build a stronger relationship with the northern neighbour. “It’s a good time for us to go up there and make sure they understand that we do care,” he said.

Ghomeshi’s lawsuit meritless, abuse of process, CBC says Colin Perkel Canadian Press TORONTO A $55-million lawsuit filed by former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi should be thrown out
because it is without merit and an abuse of process, the broadcaster argues in court filings Wednesday. In a motion to Ontario Superior Court, the
Jumbo Lodge being built in avalanche zone: NDP C anadian Press
INVERMERE, B.C. - The B.C. New Democrats and governing Liberals can’t agree on whether the day lodge for the New Jumbo Glacier Resort is being built in the path of a dangerous avalanche zone. Opposition Leader John Horgan asked Environment Minister Mary Polak to withdraw Jumbo’s permit in the legislature on Tuesday, saying the lodge is in a class-four zone, the second most dangerous classification for avalanches. But Forests, Lands and Natural Resources spokeswoman Vivian Thomas says the lodge is actually 56 metres away from the “avalanche runout” area and its location was considered during the assessment process. The proposed $1-billion year-round ski resort west of Invermere, B.C., had been rushing to meet a provincial construction deadline before its government-issued environmental assessment certificate expired on Oct. 12. The NDP later released a statement saying the Liberals are making a mockery of the environmental assessment process and rewarding bad behaviour. Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall says the day lodge isn’t the only violation of Jumbo’s certificate, and that a preliminary look at the certificate requirements show the company is in violation of three other conditions.
CBC maintains Ghomeshi’s allegation of defamation and breach of confidence is frivolous or vexatious. The CBC argues two points: Ghomeshi has no right to sue and that, in any event, he has no grounds to sue. The broadcaster notes that Ghomeshi, 47, was a unionized employee and his only recourse is via the established grievance procedure. “All the claims asserted by Mr. Ghomeshi in this action fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of an arbitrator appointed
pursuant to the collective agreement,” the CBC says in its motion urging the court to dismiss or stay the lawsuit. Ghomeshi, who is under criminal investigation but faces no charges, has admitted in a lengthy Facebook posting to having a proclivity for rough sex but insisted his encounters with women were consensual. He also said he had provided evidence to support his position to the CBC - in confidence. The CBC fired the host of “Q” on Oct. 26. In a statement on the termination, the CBC
said: “Information came to our attention recently that in CBC’s judgment precludes us from continuing our relationship with Jian Ghomeshi.” The following day, Ghomeshi filed his statement of claim, alleging the CBC statement was defamatory. “It implies or creates the innuendo that Mr. Ghomeshi’s termination was related to unacceptable conduct,” his claim asserts. “Further, given its relationship with Mr. Ghomeshi as his employer, the CBC statement has created dam-
aging speculation respecting Mr. Ghomeshi and lowered Mr. Ghomeshi’s reputation in the public.” In its response, the broadcaster denies its statement was defamatory or could be taken that way. It also argues there was no breach of confidence as he alleges because the information he provided was not confidential. “In particular, the information in question was information retrieved from CBC property and to which CBC was always entitled,” its
Convicted MP Dean Del Mastro resigns seat in House of Commons C anadian Press
OTTAWA - Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro, who was found guilty last week on three counts of violating the Canada Elections Act, says he is resigning his seat in the House of Commons. Del Mastro, a former parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, was con-
victed of exceeding spending limits during the 2008 election, failing to report a personal contribution of $21,000 to his own campaign and knowingly submitting a falsified document. In a dramatic and emotional speech in the House, Del Mastro says he doesn’t want to be a distraction or require

his fellow MPs to vote on his fate. On Tuesday, the Conservative government said it would back an NDP motion to suspend Del Mastro without pay - a motion that has now been withdrawn. Del Mastro was expelled from the Conservative caucus on the day he was charged in Sep-
tember 2013, and currently sits as an Independent. Del Mastro, whose wife gave birth to their first child - a girl - on Sunday, has said his lawyer has asked a judge to re-open his defence in order to introduce new evidence before sentencing, which is scheduled for Nov. 21.
motion states. “The termination of Mr. Ghomeshi’s employment was an authorized use of the information allegedly provided.” A source has told The Canadian Press that the CBC property in question was an employer-issued cellphone. The CBC has said it decided to fire Ghomeshi after seeing “graphic evidence” that he had physically injured a woman. According to the CBC, Ghomeshi’s lawsuit was simply an attempt to win public and media support in light of a growing flurry of allegations from women claiming he had assaulted them. Police are investigating complaints of physical or sexual assault by three women. None of the allegations has been proven. Ghomeshi has also filed a grievance alleging wrongful dismissal that has damaged his reputation. A source said a grievance meeting was expected next week. There’s no date set for the CBC motion to be heard in court but the corporation is asking that a hearing be expedited.
The Bra Lady
Is Coming to Size You Up
Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to KIMBERLEY, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17 AND TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18 and CRANBROOK, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18 AND WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 19 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.“ “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tightened the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answered yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.
1-800-254-3938 by November 15 for KIMBERLEY November 16 for CRANBROOK She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible. Although Chapman enjoys coming to this area, she is on the look-out for someone to train for or buy the business.

Duck-billed dinos could outrun predators Bob Weber CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON - New research suggests that duck-billed dinosaurs were no sitting ducks. Scientists have long wondered how the plant-eating hadrosaurs -who lived alongside predators as fearsome as Tyrannosaurus rex -managed to be so numerous everywhere from North America to Asia. “They are, hands down, the most common dinosaur around,” said University of Alberta paleontologist Scott Persons. “That’s baffling. They appear so utterly defenceless. “They’ve got no armour. They’ve got no horns. They’re the same size as the tyrannosaurs, but compared to the (T. rex) running speed they appear downright poky. You expect a tyrannosaur to have no problem catching them. “They appear like sitting ducks - and yet they’re thriving. Hadrosaurs must have been doing something really, really right.” Persons laid out his theory Wednesday in a book released by the University of Indiana on new hadrosaur research. He thinks duckbills evaded their meat-eating enemies in much the same way
modern zebras survive lion attacks. “(Hadrosaurs) can be slow and steady and ultimately win the race - if it’s a long race.” Persons specializes in understanding the hind legs and tails of dinosaurs. In an attempt to understand how their muscles attached to their bones, he spent many hours dissecting modern reptiles. He combined that knowledge with computer technology that helps researchers reconstruct ancient bits of anatomy and concluded that the legs of hadrosaurs and tyrannosaurs were built quite differently. The predators had musculature giving them short, fast and powerful strides - perfect for sudden bursts of blinding speed. Hadrosaurs, however, were hooked up for strides that were longer and slower, but more efficient. That means they could maintain their top speed for longer than the tyrannosaurs. So if the hadrosaurs got enough of a head start, they could usually outrun their predators. “In order to successfully catch a duck-billed dinosaur, (Tyrannosaurus) has got to get in close,” Persons said.
Dutch govt moves to stop people from peeing on Amsterdam Royal Palace ASSOCIATED PRESS
AMSTERDAM - If you’re caught short on Amsterdam’s historic Dam Square, the Dutch government has a message for you: Don’t pee on the palace. The Dutch royal family uses the stately Royal Palace in downtown Amsterdam as a working palace, not a residence. But the building’s dark arches provide a favoured spot for urination, often at night, out of sight of police who regularly patrol the palace vicinity. After a multimillion-euro renovation ended in late 2011, people began urinating against the palace’s sandstone facade. That prompted authorities to put up a fence.
But the Interior Ministry on Wednesday called the fence “unworthy” of the historic location. It is now installing lights and movement sensors to deter people from relieving themselves. The government also warned that peeing in public is punishable by a 140euro ($175) fine. If those measures don’t work, authorities are considering installing a urinal near the palace that rises out of the ground at night and sinks back below the sidewalk during the day. Other possible moves include a raised set of steps featuring a “pop-up” fence or fine mesh screens to block off access to the arches after dark.

Top Whitetail Tips from the Pros F.J. Hurtak Outdoors
Over the past few years, I’ve been fortunate to hunt with people who make their living pursuing big Whitetail bucks but also some other hunters who just plain live for hunting huge whitetails. Most of the advice and knowledge is Alberta and Saskatchewan-based but can easily be applied right here in our region. For the purpose of this article, we’re going to concentrate on the rutting period — late October to mid-December — which includes, in southeastern B.C., most of the late bow season as well. Alberta dates do differ. Always check regulations before heading out. This information will help increase your odds of bagging a Whitetail buck in that period. For veteran hunters, some of the information will seem like old hat, but keep in mind that there are many new hunters out in the field each year just learning
the sport and I know they will find some of these tips useful. 1. Stand Hunting (from a fixed position) is a very popular hunting method in all areas where there is a robust population of Whitetail deer, and so is scrape hunting. The pros advise not hanging your stand too close to a fresh scrape or series of scrapes. Bucks will usually approach their scrape lines from downwind so, if you are too close, they’ll likely detect you well before you even know they are coming. After a lot of trial and error, my own personal preference for rifle is 75100 yards and 40-50 for bow. The idea is to have the buck walking between you and the scrape with his attention totally focused on the scrape. 2. Successful rattling sequences usually depend on the buck-todoe ratio in the area you are hunting. In the East Kootenay, where the seasons are long and the
ratios are sometimes less than 5-6 bucks per 100 does, rattling can be an exercise in frustration, but that does make it more satisfying when a buck does charge in to your mock fight. It’s just a question of finding a buck in the right mood and that usually spells the difference between success and failure. However, the more competition for the bucks, the better the odds of rattling one in. A great tip I picked up in Saskatchewan was to start a rattling sequence very softly. This stimulates the sparring of immature bucks, which can entice bucks of any size to come in and investigate the clatter. Immediate and aggressive loud rattling may intimidate some pretty decent sized bucks so it never hurts to start slowly and softly with a sequence. I’ve noticed that if bucks have to travel downhill for any great distance, they are less likely to respond. I have

F.J. with a big Whitetail buck. no idea why that is, but I can tell you that bull elk have also demonstrated that same reluctance at times during a calling sequence. Therefore, establishing some high ground prior to a calling or rattling sequence can really improve your vision in the woods you are watching, and your chances. There is also a common misconception that bucks will not respond to calling from a tree stand. That is not the case…they will until such time as they actually see you in the stand, but that’s a chance worth taking to get out of their scent-line and to
gain the increased elevation for spotting your quarry. 3. When out hunting, if you see a lone doe with her tail extended straight back, get ready. During the rut this is a sure sign that she is in estrus, and it is a signal to the bucks that may be pursuing her that she is now ready to breed. This is an invaluable tip while stand hunting because it gives you that extra minute or two to get prepared for a shot, look for shooting lanes etc. It’s also important to note that if you suddenly see a doe or two bolt from the trees well away from your stand, there may be a buck somewhere in the vicinity that is hot on their tail. 4. When bucks are tending does, it is almost impossible to call them within range with a standard grunt call. This makes a great deal of sense because they already have what they want, so why would they want to encounter another buck. Their Achilles heel though at this time could be a simple doe or fawn bleat. If the doe does respond to you and moves in your direction,
the buck will very often follow. 5. The use of scents during the rutting period can, and will, attract bucks to the smell. I had one buck in Alberta walk right up to the scent wick I had hanging in a tree about 75 yards from my stand. The buck curled his upper lip, tilted his head back and assumed a blocky posture. He lingered in the area for over half an hour criss-crossing the cut line I was watching. Obviously the scent I was using, which was a strong doe-in-estrus concoction, was working perfectly. This particular buck would score about 130 B and C points, but in Alberta it’s considered to be very average so I passed him up. I told the outfitter about the experience and he said that when a buck does not like a certain scent, he will likely lower his head, perhaps stick his tongue out of the side of his mouth and even lift his tail. Upon doing that he will probably depart in quick fashion because he is more alarmed than curious. 6. This final tip came
from a fellow who works for a game call manufacturing company that specializes in studying Whitetails. He told me that if you see a fawn with a doe while out hunting during the rutting period, you rarely will see a good buck with them. Since he told me that many years ago, I personally have never been able to dispute it. The rationale behind the advice is that estrus does will usually travel alone. If you do see a lone doe bedded in an opening during the rut, scan the surrounding terrain and be patient until the situation plays out. When the doe gets up and moves, a nearby buck will likely move with her. Time to head out to the field… best of luck this white tail season and hope some of these tips help you bag the buck of your dreams. F.J.

From the dinosaur age, mammal skull reveals a comparative behemoth Malcolm Rit ter ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - During the dinosaur age most mammals were puny, generally weighing less than a pound. Now a bizarre fossil skull from Madagascar has revealed a comparative giant, one that clocked in at maybe 20 pounds (9 kilograms). “It was a monster,” said David Krause of Stony Brook University in New York, who led the discovery team. “It looks like a big groundhog.” It’s the second heaviest mammal known from the dinosaur era, which ran roughly from 250 million years ago to 65 million years ago, and the most massive of that time

from Southern Hemisphere. Krause said his best guess is that the creature might have measured 20 inches (51 centimetres) to 24 inches (61 centimetres) from nose to rump. It lived sometime between 66 million and 72 million years ago. In a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature, Krause and colleagues named the creature Vintana sertichi. The first name, which means “luck” in the Malagasy language of Madagascar, was chosen because the skull appeared unexpectedly. When scientists did a CT scan of a large sandstone block to look for fish fossils, “we saw this thing staring back at us,” Krause said. “We were just amazed.”

a poorly understood group of ancient Southern Hemisphere mammals that had been known only from isolated teeth and bits of jaw. They went extinct long ago, without leaving any descendants today. Now researchers can see a face, and it is bizarre, Krause said. The skull is very tall in comparison to its length. The eye sockets are huge. Weird flanges by the bottom jaw once anchored chewing muscles. The skull also revealed that the brain was tilted at a strange angle not seen in other animals. And it displayed an odd mix of primitive characteristics with more advanced ones. Analysis suggests Vintana was

an agile plant-eater with good eyesight in low light and a good sense of smell. Such abilities probably came in handy to avoid the predatory dinosaurs and other beasts that shared its environment, Krause said. “It would have been a very fine hors d’oeuvre” for a dinosaur, Krause said. John Flynn, an expert in fossil mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who didn’t participate in the discovery, called the find “fantastic” because of its good preservation and relative completeness, compared to fossils of other Southern Hemisphere mammals of the time.

An excellent year for the endangered Northern Leopard Frog For the Townsman
The spring and summer of 2014 have been very good for endangered Northern Leopard Frogs in the Creston Valley and East Kootenay. For a second year in a row, captive breeding
at Vancouver Aquarium was successful (allowing for the second release of tadpoles in the Columbia Marshes following the first release in 2013); breeding was confirmed at two ponds at the Upper Kootenay reintroduction site; and
What is Lyme Disease? By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND
My partner and I recently attended a lecture on Lyme Disease by one of the leading Medical Doctors in the field, Dr. Ernie Murakami. His Centre for Lyme disease in Hope, BC explains that Lyme is a complex and rarely understood disease that is systemic in nature. It can present itself with a myriad of symptoms (sometimes well over 100) that can easily lead to misdiagnosis. The disease was first discovered in 1970 with the characteristic bulls-eye rash appearing on men from the Groton, Conneticut submarine base, and the findings of studies reported by Navy doctors in 1974. The disease then affected a group of families in the town of Old Lyme, Conneticut, where awareness of the disease became more prominent, and it received its current common name of Lyme Disease. Lyme is an infectious disease transferred to humans by ticks. The most common spirochete to create symptoms is called Borrelia burgdorferi, but several other co-infections may exist in an affected person as well. Acute Lyme disease symptoms consist of flu-like symptoms, fever and general malaise and if diagnosed in these early stages it can be eradicated with treatment of three weeks of oral antibiotics. However, after this initial stage the spirochetes have to ability to continue to infect the body and can go undiagnosed for many years as the generalized symptoms of chronic Lyme resemble other chronic conditions leading to misdiagnosis. These symptoms include, but are not limited to fatigue, arthritis, fibromyalgia, tinnitus/ringing in ears, muscle cramps, night sweats and dizziness. The list of symptoms is much longer and can be found online at www.murakamicentreforlyme. org. The treatment of chronic Lyme is more difficult and consists of a minimum of 3 months of IV antibiotics combined with oral medications. The proper diagnosis of Lyme disease is made through specialized blood testing (Igenex) and may often show up as false negative through conventional testing as Canada has different standards for Lyme diagnosis than any other country. Lyme disease is grossly underestimated here in Canada and its effects are devastating if not treated properly. Along with these conventional treatment methods we can also support the immune system through high dose probiotics, herbs and other natural treatments. If you have any questions about Lyme disease please feel free to contact us. The end of 2014 is coming soon – don’t forget to use your extended health care benefits!

to top-off the positive news, the number of Northern Leopard Frog egg masses detected in the Creston Valley was the highest since records began in 1997. “It has certainly been a very rewarding year for members of the Northern Leopard Frog Recovery Team,” says Dr. Purnima Govindarajulu, chair of the Recovery Team and Small Mammal and Herpetofauna Specialist with the B.C. Ministry of Environment. “Collectively, we feel we are making significant strides forward in ensuring that the Northern Leopard Frogs will remain part of the B.C. landscape for generations to come.” A total of 39 egg masses were found in the Creston Valley by biologists funded by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program
(FWCP) - almost double that of the previous record count of 22 in 2012. Finding so many egg masses bolsters the recovery effort for one of the most at-risk amphibians in the province. The re-introduction of Northern Leopard Frogs to the East Kootenay has hinged on finding, and protecting, a sufficient number of egg masses in the Creston Valley. “This year’s record-breaking find of egg masses is related to the relatively high number of egg masses in 2011 and 2012, as those eggs have turned into frogs that are now of breeding age,” says wildlife biologist Barb Houston who manages the Northern Leopard Frog project for the FWCP. “The population in the Creston Valley is likely increasing due to a combination of fac-

Surveying, funded by the Columbia Basin Trust and the Aboriginal Fund for Species at Risk through the Ktunaxa Nation, found evidence that breeding has been suc-

cessful at Bummers Flats. The high number of egg masses found in the Creston Valley has also allowed the FWCP to supply tadpoles to the Vancouver Aquarium to support their captive assurance colony. This colony is an insurance policy of sorts, where the tadpoles have been reared and bred in captivity, with the progeny used to support endangered Northern Leopard Frog recovery efforts in the Columbia Marshes. In the 1970s, populations of Northern Leopard Frogs across western Canada declined sharply, especially in
B.C., and the Rocky Mountain population which is listed as Endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). The species is also on the provincial Red List. “While the population remains extremely fragile in the province, the record number of egg masses found, together with the successful reintroduction results in the East Kootenay, certainly allow us some cautious optimism for the Northern Leopard Frog,” added Govindarajulu. “We look forward to making similar progress in 2015.”
Amid Ebola disaster, WHO picks new chief to take over Africa office Virgile Ahissou Maria Cheng Associated Press
COTONOU, Benin With nearly 5,000 dead of Ebola in West Africa, the World Health Organization elected a new director Wednesday of its Africa office, which has been accused of bungling the response to the outbreak in its early stages. The new chief, Matshidiso Moeti, is a doctor from Botswana and a WHO veteran who stepped down as deputy director for Africa in March, the same month the crisis was announced. The results of the five-candidate election were made public at a meeting of the U.N. agency in Benin and came amid the worst outbreak
of the dreaded disease ever seen. “I hope, with all the control efforts that are now in place, the situation will have improved by the time I take office in February,” Moeti told reporters. Moeti is unlikely to play a major role in ending the disaster, since the United Nations has already taken more direct charge of the control efforts. But she could be key to preventing another such crisis. She said that the health systems in hardhit Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea have been devastated and need to be rebuilt and that warning and monitoring capabilities must be improved to deal with any outbreaks of Ebola.

Retailers call on Alberta to address sale of illegal tobacco John Cot ter Canadian Press
EDMONTON - An organization that represents convenience store owners wants the Alberta government to crack down on the sale of illegal tobacco. The group says a study it commissioned suggests high rates of contraband tobacco use across the province. The Western Convenience Stores Association said the study done in September examined discarded cigarette butts at 49 locations and found an average rate of illegal tobacco use of about 10 per cent. Association president Andrew Klukas said contraband cigarettes are sold without taxes, health warnings or checks of a buyer’s age. Klukas said sales of cheaper illegal tobacco hurt the bottom line of retailers, who sell cigarettes that are fully taxed, and also deprive the provincial government of tax revenue. The association, which represents more than 2,400 convenience store retailers in Alberta, wants stronger anti-contraband legislation and more enforce-
ment. “The availability of illegal tobacco is clearly a problem in Alberta,” Klukas said Wednesday. “Illegal tobacco is sold without proper taxation, making its rock-bottom pricing appealing to young people. “Premier (Jim) Prentice and his government need to address this issue.” Jody Korchinski of the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission said the province has a team of 10 investigators who look into reports of illegal tobacco sales. She said they are on top of the problem and she urged anyone with tips about illegal sales to contact the commission. “We follow up on complaints that we receive and our tobacco unit right now is doing a good job of handling this.” Alberta took in about $922 million in tax revenue from tobacco sales last fiscal year. The Finance Department estimates the province is losing about $18 million a year in taxes because of contraband tobacco. RCMP Cpl. Sharon Franks said organized
crime is behind the contraband tobacco sales. Much of the illegal product comes from Ontario and Quebec, including First Nations communities. Franks said illegal tobacco is a problem on some Alberta reserves. “The RCMP does work with First Nations communities to try and combat that contraband tobacco,” she said. “There is evidence to suggest that it is present there. As to what level and degree, it is difficult to determine at this point.” Prosecutions can take time to wind through the courts.
see them at the store, but occasionally at farmer’s markets. This is because they don’t have a long shelf life and are very delicate. Harvest the pansies, marigolds, calendula, nasturtiums and violas as often as you want, the more you pick the more they grow. Isn’t that the best news? 4. TOMATOES: Find a small tomato variety, like cherry tomatoes, or totem, they even make a patio tomato that is perfect. There are so many different colors and shapes get a few different ones, experiment. Tomato plants tend to be prolific. The best way to preserve your harvest is to roast them with olive oil and fresh herbs and then freeze them. It is the fastest, and you can still use them in different meals all winter. Tomato seeds are super simple to save, just rinse them off, let them dry, and store in an airtight container for next year. 5. PEAS/BEANS: These guys are climbers, so if you have a porch or balcony it’s perfect. They will even add a little privacy by growing all around it. Good news, the more you pick the more they grow. The easiest way to preserve your pea harvest is to freeze them. Right now frozen peas sound pretty unexciting but come January the sweetness of your homegrown pea harvest will bring a smile to your face. As the plants are fruiting (making the peas or beans) they will be thirstier, so water accordingly. At the end of the season take all the dried up peas and beans and plant them out next year to enjoy them again. I can already see your thumb turning green, be brave, pot up some veggies for your deck, and cut down your grocery bill!

OTTAWA - The Harper government is bracing for international backlash to its proposed new law that would ban people in polygamous and forced marriages from immigrating to Canada, The Canadian Press has learned. Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced the legislation Wednesday, calling such practices “incompatible with Canadian values.” The Conservative government promised in its 2013 throne speech to take steps on forced marriages and so-called honour killings. If it becomes law, the bill would eliminate early and forced marriages from Canada’s immigration system and the country as a whole, said Alexander. The measures would not include arranged marriages. There are “at least hundreds” of cases of immigrants in polygamous marriages in Canada, the minister added. The bill responds to cases in which Afghan men in Canada were accused of killing female
relatives. Alexander said provisions in the bill will do away with the ability of perpetrators in such cases to use provocation or cultural differences as a mitigating factor. But the “Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act” might not go over so well in some Arab and African countries, suggests an internal government briefing note, obtained by The Canadian Press. The memorandum dated Oct. 27 and stamped “Secret,” notes that polygamy remains legal in dozens of countries. “This new admissibility provision related to polygamy, even with the availability of tools to mitigate impact, will certainly create bilateral irritants since polygamy is recognized under civil law in 50 countries (e.g. United Arab Emirates) and under customary law in 12 countries (e.g. South Africa),” said the document. “This could also lead to reciprocity-related decisions by partner countries.” In the case of the U.A.E., negative fallout could undo three years of hard work by Foreign Af-

fairs Minister John Baird to repair what had been a damaged relationship. When Baird became foreign minister in 2011, relations with the influential Gulf state were in tatters. It started when Canada wouldn’t give two emirate airlines extra landing rights they were seeking. The government was trying to protect Air Canada. The U.A.E. retaliated by kicking the Canadian Forces out of one of its military bases, a key staging ground for the Afghanistan mission. It also imposed a hefty visa charge on Canadian travellers. Baird has since worked hard to repair relations, making numerous trips to the U.A.E. and welcoming his counterpart to Canada. The internal memo says the Foreign Affairs and Immigration departments “will work closely to develop an engagement strategy with bilateral partners to not only make them aware of impending changes, but also to mitigate the expected negative impact of this tabling of the bill and its expected rapid coming into force.”

Addressing conflict, housing worries Hi Wendy: I sent you a couple of emails and I wanted to ask you a few questions. What can you tell me about the woman I work with right now? I get the feeling she is out to “screw” me over. Is that true? Can your guides advise me on how I should conduct or handle myself around her? Do you see me moving within the next six months? Feeling Annoyed Dear Feeling Annoyed: I asked my guides your questions that you wish us to answer and this is what I have discover: Q. Should this woman trust the woman she is currently working with? A. No Q. Is this woman out to “screw” this woman over? A. Yes Q. How can this woman act or handle this colleague that she is working with at this time? A. Be polite and courteous. Do not get involved in office politics or your personal life when she directs these questions to you. When she asks you a question you say, “I don’t know about that” or “Gee that’s too bad that is happening” and so on. Do not be snappy or defensive with your replies. The reason we are saying this is because when you know someone doesn’t like you or is out to get you, so to say, you can become very sarcastic, with your scowly face. If you act this way towards her she will be able to see what you are doing or as I say the game you are playing with her. Don’t be defensive with this woman because she
can make your life a lot harder at work; she has had many years of experience doing this to others she has come into contact with. In a nutshell play stupid around her and don’t try to undermine her or be devious. Two wrongs don’t make a right and you know how karma works. Understand that she is a very insecure, troubled person with a waspish temper and is as sly as a fox. Personally I feel sorry for these types of people who are ASK WENDY so miserable and hurt inside they want to make others feel Wendy the same way. This woman is Evano what I call a “fence rider” this means whomever has the power to help her in the corporate world she will lean to and betray anyone around her that can not help her climb that ladder. This is how she has climbed her way up to the top in business and she is very good at it. So the best thing to do is stay away from her and do not wish her any ill harm, live your life and be happy at work. Q. Will this woman be moving out of the area she is currently living in within the next six months? A. No Q. Will this woman be moving within the area she is currently living in within the next six months? A. Yes Hello Wendy: I was wondering if you could email me my answers back as soon as possible because I am feeling anxious about my house selling? Can you tell me when and if my house will sell in
2014? Can you tell me if it does sell will I be living permanently with my daughter? She has recently separated from her husband and wants me to babysit for her while she is working? Anxious Dear Anxious: I sat down and had a session with my guides and your email was in this session for this week. I cannot email this session to you because I would be at my computer answering people’s questions daily. What I have said continually to everyone is: If you email me I put it in the Townsman and you need to look for my column in the paper. If you wish to have a private session then you can phone me. However, I do email the person and do tell them that I finished answering their questions and to look for my column within the next five days. No
Q. Will this woman’s house sell in 2014? A.
Q. Will this woman’s house sell in 2015? A. Yes, in the fall. Q. Will this woman be looking after her grandchildren sometime in 2015. A. No. We see her daughter having to move from the area she is currently living in. There will be a lot of delays for you and your daughter in 2015 in trying to make your plan work for you to watch your grandchildren. Wendy For personal and over the phone readings. Contact Wendy@ 426-2127. Need my guides to answer some of your questions? Email me @ wevano@shaw.ca

B.C. coroner identifies young man killed in police-involved shooting
VANCOUVER - The BC Coroners Service has identified the man who died after a police shooting in Victoria on Nov. 1. The service says 20-year-old Rhett Mutch was shot in an encounter with Victoria police officers shortly after 11 on Saturday morning. Mutch was taken from the scene by an ambulance, but died before he made it to hospital. Both the coroners’ service and the Independent Investigations Office are investigating the death. In the hours after the death, Victoria Police Chief Frank Elsner said officers were responding to a 911 call from a home in the city’s James Bay neighbourhood. Elsner says officers were confronted by the man when they arrived at the home. Canadian Press

Soaring coffee prices could affect Tim Hortons David Friend Canadian Press
TORONTO - Coffee drinkers at Tim Hortons may soon have to swallow a more expensive cup of joe as the restaurant chain responds to the soaring price of beans. Price for Arabica coffee have nearly doubled this year and chief financial officer Cynthia Devine said it’s a factor being taken into consideration as the company prepares for 2015. “It’s something that we will, and are, working on closely with our restaurant owners to understand what actions may be necessary,” she said Wednesday during a conference call with analysts to discuss the company’s financial results. “Coffee costs, as everyone knows, are much higher than they have been historically and it’s

Educators from across the Columbia Basin gather outside of Quantum Leaps Lodge near Golden.
CBEEN hosts education sustainability symposium For the Townsman
As the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development draws to a close, educators from across the Columbia Basin came together at Quantum Leaps Lodge in Golden as part of the Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network’s 6th Annual ‘Voices for Sustainability’ Symposium. This event allowed educators to share ideas & inspiration, connect and collaborate, and help to shape a vision for sustainability in the coming decade and beyond. Participants hailed from a variety of communities including Golden, Cranbrook, Nelson, Invermere, Kimberley,
CRANBROOK CRANBROOK
Revelstoke, Nakusp, New Denver, Edgewood and Winlaw. Using the principles of open space technology which allows participants to shape the content of the Symposium, educators were given the opportunity to connect, collaborate and share their skills and knowledge. The Symposium also modelled some of the key concepts being highlighted in the new BC Education Plan, including place-based learning, inquiry learning and experiential education. Participants noted that they will bring back to their classrooms “more time for knowledge sharing, more time outdoors for students as well as a variety of outdoor
activities and stewardship projects”. Participants also walked away with the understanding that “all education can be incorporated into environmental education, and that when done well, environmental education can be the very best of learning”. The event was supported by Columbia Basin Trust, Rocky Mountain School District #6, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Kicking Horse Coffee, Wildsight-Golden and Quantum Leaps Lodge.

been a fairly continued kind of rise in those prices.” Tim Hortons Inc. (TSX:THI) locks itself into long-term contracts with coffee suppliers, which gives it flexibility and protection from market fluctuations. Most of the company’s key coffee deals were negotiated more than a year ago, which has allowed executives to navigate through one of the most volatile periods for coffee prices in recent memory. But the value of coffee beans has nearly doubled this year, partly on concerns that lack of rain in Brazil could affect the world’s top exporter. Already, some of Tim Horton’s competitors have jacked up how much they charge for a cup, in anticipation of future supply levels.
