ULTRA-MARATHON
Global TV wants your Black Spur participants enthusiastic about Kimberley race Kimberley pictures C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
The best way to gauge the success of an event is to get reaction from those participating. If that’s the case, then the comments flowing into Facebook about the Black Spur Ultra, an ultra-marathon with 50 and 100 kilometre distances run on Kimberley’s trails this past weekend, indicate the weekend was a huge success. Racers loved the course, the scenery, the challenge, the atmosphere and the
excellent organization provided by Brian Gallant of Full Moon Adventure Company. Mark C. Ryan “After a long hiatus from trail running this was a great re-introduction. I ran leg 4. It was the hardest trail I’ve ever hiked. I have never had to take 40 minutes to do 2km, especially so early in a race. Brian, you are a sick and twisted genius.” Kristina Lynn Meyer “The course was stunning and all the single track makes it the most fun I have
had running 50K.” Erin Klatt “Loved all the single track, the stunning views, the challenge & the atmosphere....” Calli Stromner “Now that the haze of the weekend has cleared, I can honestly say the Black Spur Ultra is one of the most satisfying races I’ve ever done. It’s tough! It will challenge every muscle fibre in your body; it will test your mettle; it is unrelenting with the constant uphills. See RACE, page 4

The East Kootenay Branch is responsible for a huge area. It spans from Creston to Golden, and from Kimberley to the Alberta boarder.
•
Our shelter housed the most animals out of any shelter in the province of BC in the month of July. For the past few months, we have on average, been responsible for over 100 animals per day.
•
The majority of these animals are not spayed or neutered and it is up to us to pay for it to get done before any of these animals are ready for adoption. We also have animals that need other vet care and medication. We vaccinate all cats and dogs who enter our shelter.
•
The East Kootenay Shelter’s medical costs for the month of July and August exceeded $17,000. The majority of the medical costs are spay/ neuter expenses.
•
We do not receive any federal or provincial funding. We rely on fundraising, donations and grants in order to operate. With an annual operating budget of $470,000 we need to do a LOT of fundraising!
•
We are currently upgrading our shelter to make it healthier for our animals, staff and volunteers, but in reality our shelter is way too small. In reality we need a new facility that is up to date with animal welfare standards and is large enough to help all of the animals in need within the East Kootenays. We have a dream!

Racers rave about Kimberley course From Page 1 But this is probably the prettiest race course I’ve been on... and the most fun! I don’t think I’ve seen as much technical single-track on another Alberta course... so this makes me want to venture out a little more to BC! The scenery was spectacular and as always, the folks at Full Moon Adventure Company really know how to put on a well-organized and (most important) safe race for us crazy masochists. I’m really glad I got to run this course before it gets as popular as its sister race, Sinister 7.” Jeff Hirsch “First off I would like to say thank you to Brian and his wife, the staff and all the volunteers for their time and effort to make such an amazing event happen. Second I would like to thank Brian for giving all the runners a headsup at the runners meeting that leg 1 would “punish” us.” The group I was scrambling up the mountain with (me included) sounded like we were all asthmatics. What you failed to mention that leg 2 wasn’t much better. In fact, in my opinion, the entire course was absolutely ruthless. Granted I’m a rookie runner with only 6 ultras under my belt; but this was one tough course. You were either climbing up or running down. This course was the epitome of single track. It twist-

Robyn Kerr runs the 50 K. Her time was 7:50:30. ed, climbed, dropped and had every surface possible. From dirt, dirt and rocks, rocks and scree. Simply amazing. The trails are simply impossible to describe, they were beautiful from beginning to end. The post race awards ceremony and breakfast were to die for. Everyone was still pumped about the race and talking about the two rockets that won the 50k and 100k solo races. If anyone is even considering running
this race next year, don’t hesitate, DO IT!!! Make sure you have your climbing legs ready, you’ll need them. Thanks again everyone. See you next year.” Gallant was more than satisfied with the inaugural run. “The comments we are receiving in person and by email are echoing those comments on Facebook. Some say it’s the new hardest course out there (that’s a good thing).”

An international cultural showcase Tre vor Cr awley
There was a visible international flavour to Cranbrook this past weekend as over 18 different nations and cultures were represented in the Multicultural Festival at Rotary Park. The festival, in it’s second edition, grew from the inaugural event a year ago with roughly six additional cultures, as booths and vendors lined the park to showcase their unique traditions, heritage and culinary deli-

cacies. Cultural booths, performances and ethnic food made up the three elements to the multicultural festival, according to Coco Seitz, the president of the Cranbrook Multi-Cultural Society. “A big shout out to all the cultural groups and also individuals who participated in the cultural displays because it takes a long time and effort to put together the cultural displays,” said Seitz. Seitz added that the
cultural dance performances and the construction of each booth were done by volunteers. “The performances were amazing because we got a [Ktunaxa] drum group from Creston to travel here,” said Seitz. “I invited a Chinese lady who traveled here from Vancouver and did a Chinese folk dance,” she said. “We had the Huncar Warriors Academy perform the martial arts, that was quite interesting.

Don’t Sneer at Trump’s Chances Yeah, I hear what you’re saying. “For all you political comics, Donald Trump must be a dream come true. Manna from heaven. Slam-dunking from a step-ladder. Swimming in a sea of beer.” Oh sure, there are jokes. 1. Trump’s presidential campaign is like a baboon’s butt. The higher he climbs, the harder it is to look. 2. Not saying his message is confusing, but doubt he could convince a majority of the voices in his head to vote for him. 3. Trump doesn’t respect gay marriage because of tradition. And the fact that he’s been
married three times just makes him... extra traditional. 4. Wants to run the country like a business. Which is worrisome. Because he seems exactly the kind of guy who would burn it down for the insurance. Don’t forget the aerodynamic coif. But getting an actual handle on the Big El Nino is as difficult as Klingon calculus. How do you parody a parody?

GOP theme park is similar to intimating that salted caramel cream puffs make inadequate shock absorbers. The exploits of Walker, Cruz, Rubio and Bush are a PBS after-thought to the daily TMZ shenanigans of Mr. Celebrity Apprentice Presidente. A finite amount of light is available in a primary campaign, and the brighter it shines on a single spoiled trust fund baby, the less luminosity available for the incredible array of governors and former governors running nearby. With the odd senator thrown in. “Odd” being the operative word. Then consider that each of the semi-normal politicians is being bankrolled by a totally different collection of billionaires and you can see the problem. The obscenely affluent don’t encourage their kind to run for president. Tends to eliminate the middle-men. The rich prefer their office holders beholden. Puppets with strings are easier to control. As the Donald says, “the system’s broken,” and the people agree. So here’s a tip for all you professional scoffers sneering at Trump’s chances of winning the nomination, and should he pull that off, disparage as laughable the thought of a victory in the general. Just remember... they said the same thing about Ronald Reagan. And we all know how that turned out. Wonder if another Bush could be talked into the VP slot. There’s synchronicity for you.

Is B.C. really burning? Not exactly
On
a recent drive through the B.C. Interior, I passed through McLure and Barriere, communities north of Kamloops that were devastated by wildfire in 2003. While these communities have recovered, blackened tree trunks are still visible where fires burned for 75 days and forced the evacuation of 3,800 people. With the early start to this year’s fire season, the media attention and effects of an unusual spring drought, you might think that B.C. is on pace to match that terrible summer. You would be wrong. As of last week, area burned and money spent by the B.C. Wildfire Service had only just exceeded the totals for mid-August during last summer’s fire season, which were high but not remarkable. The number of individual fires is higher this year, but that’s mostly a result of lightning storm patterns. Spending has topped $200 million, as it did last year at this time before finishing just below $300 million. The 2003 total was above $400 million, and the 2009 season was slightly below that. Forests Minister Steve Thomson cautions that there are still many weeks to go and hot, dry conditions are expected for
much of that. Once the damage is done for the year, the ministry reviews the impact on forests and begins assessment of which areas should be replanted and which should be left to regenerate naturally. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, and the strategy in recent years has been to allow fires to burn out naturally and contain them to protect people and property. Decades of fire BC VIEWS suppression, based on viewing Crown forests Tom strictly as a timber reFletcher source, helped create conditions for the beetle epidemic that has left vast quantities of dead wood to fuel more fires. The 2003 fire season set the tone for political debate on forest fire policy that has continued since then. The opposition points to recommendations from former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon that removing fuel from around communities is the best protection. This task has proven impossibly big, especially as rural community tax bases shrink, but the ideological dance continues in Victoria. The NDP campaigned in 2013 on a promise to double tree planting, and its general approach is to spend more money and hire more staff. Speaking of political dances, Premier Christy Clark has made a couple of appear-

ances at fire sites where homes and businesses have been threatened or destroyed. (Today’s big-city media formula is to emphasize danger and promote attacks on premiers of all stripes. If they don’t visit disasters, they are callous and uncaring. If they do, they’re exploiting the situation for photo ops.) In her first fire scene appearance this summer, Clark warned that drought and huge fires may be “the new normal” for B.C. as climate warms and shifts. This is great positioning for the government’s plan to attend the latest global climate doom festival in Paris this fall, but it’s not borne out by recent forest fire results. In terms of dollars spent and area burned, the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were all well below average. Last year and 2009 were substantially above average, but 2008 and 2013 were among the quietest years on record. Is drought the “new normal” too? The B.C. government’s own climate change forecast is for increasing overall precipitation, albeit with more rain and less snow. Snowpacks for southern B.C. were indeed the lowest on record this past winter, but that record only goes back 31 years. And when were high snowfall records last broken? That would be 2011.

Fresh season and fresh faces
A total of 66 players, including 16 WHL returners, will flood Cranbrook as Kootenay Ice training camp opens Aug. 31 Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
A fresh hockey season is right around the corner and a fresh-look Kootenay Ice club will make its way to the playing surface at Western Financial Place beginning Monday, Aug. 31 at 10 a.m. “Some years at training camp, there really aren’t many jobs,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice. “Last year’s team -- we were a veteran-laden squad. This year, it’s a whole different outlook, not only with the graduation of players, but the new coaching staff. “You’ve got to come in and make an impression right off the bat. What I mean by make an impression -- do what you do best. Whether that’s scoring goals, taking the body, making saves. If you’re a puck-moving defenceman, move the puck. If you’re a stay-at-home defenceman, be physical, make a good first pass. “Whatever you do, do it well.” Monday morning, the Ice announced the schedule for its annual training camp which includes three days of onice sessions and scrimmages before culminating with the annual United Way Intrasquad Game on Thursday, Sept. 3. A total of 66 players (six goaltenders, 25 defencemen, 35 forwards), including 16 WHL veter-
ans, will look to impress new head coach Luke Pierce and assistant coach Gordon Burnett.
“This year, it’s a whole different outlook...You’ve got to come in and make an impression right off the bat.” Jeff Chynoweth Kootenay Ice President & GM The new coaching duo takes over from Ryan McGill and Jay Henderson, who left Cranbrook following the 2014-15 campaign. “Training camp brings a sense of excitement and anticipation and this season is no exception,” said Garnet Kazuik, director of scouting for the Kootenay Ice, in a team release. “Given the turnover on our roster from last season, there are a number of spots available with our club and because of this, we expect a high level of intensity as we evaluate the development of both our new and returning players.”
Included amongst the returners are goaltenders Wyatt Hoflin and Keelan Williams. On the blue-line, Tanner Faith, Tanner Lishchynsky, Troy Murray, Mario Grman, Bryan Allbee, Dylan Overdyk and Cale Fleury return. Up front, the Ice will see veterans Luke Philp, Jon Martin, Zak Zborosky, Matt Alfaro, River Beattie, Austin Wellsby and Vince Loschiavo competing for playing time this fall. A pair of household names aren’t on the returners list heading into training camp. Forward Jaedon Descheneau, a fifth-round pick (124th overall) at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, is already south of the border training with the St. Louis Blues ahead of the team’s camp. Descheneau has yet to sign his NHL entry-level contract and remains eligible to return to the WHL for his overage season, but for the time being, he won’t be seen at camp in Cranbrook. The other exemption from the list of returners is defenceman Tyler King. King underwent knee surgery June 24 in Saskatoon after playing through pain for the duration of the 2014-15 campaign. The native of Pilot Butte, Sask., originally sustained the injury during the 2014 WHL pre-season. After playing through the injury, a

Led by veteran forward Luke Philp (above), the Kootenay Ice get back to business when training camp officially opens Monday, Aug. 31, at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook. follow-up examination called for an MRI, which revealed damage serious enough to require surgery. “It’s a credit to his pain threshold,” Chynoweth said of King’s perseverance last season. The veteran blue-liner will be in attendance at training camp, but won’t participate on ice as he is expected to miss up to six months while recovering from surgery. King’s injury impacts the Ice overage situation, at least in the shortterm, as seven 1995born players are expected to compete this fall. With WHL clubs only permitted to carry three 20-year-old players, the
competition for one of those three coveted overage slots is set to be fierce. Philp and Martin will vie for 20-year-old slots at forward, with Descheneau potentially returning to the mix as well. King, Lishchynsky and Faith represent the overage blue-liners. Hoflin rounds out the veteran crew in net. “They all know the drill,” Chynoweth said. “They know the situation. In our exit meetings last year we discussed that. They’re obviously going to come in and try -- no different than our young prospects -- to make an impression on the new coaching staff.
Russian Ice Hockey Federation fined by IIHF for snubbing Canadian anthem ASSOCIATED PRESS
ZURICH - The Russian Hockey Federation was fined Monday over the national team snubbing Canada’s victory celebrations after the world championship final. The sport’s governing body, IIHF, said the Russian players deliberately left the ice before Canada’s national anthem was played after a signal from captain Ilya Kovalchuk.
The Russian federation had claimed its players had been confused after the rink-side gate was left open and took that as a signal to leave following the 6-1 loss in May in Prague. But after studying video evidence, the IIHF said Kovalchuk gave an “unmistakable head gesture” as signal for teammates to skate off the ice early after collecting their silver medals. They did not stay to hear the
Canadian anthem and watch the flags of the three medallist countries being raised. “This was exceptional as no other team has ever left the ice before the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship medal ceremony was completed,” the Zurich-based body said. The IIHF fined the Russian hockey federation 80,000 Swiss francs ($85,000) after accepting it had apologized to
Canadian officials. The IIHF ruled that the open rink-side gate was “irrelevant” and noted that Russian players and officials were aware of tournament rules “because of their vast experience.” “The panel is of the opinion that the occurrences on the ice show that this is not a result of an unfortunate misunderstanding” as Russia claimed, the IIHF said. Kovalchuk, the for-
mer New Jersey Devils forward, was not sanctioned ahead of his country hosting the 2016 worlds. Kovalchuk retired from the NHL in 2013 to join SKA St. Petersburg ahead of the Sochi Olympics, where Canada won the gold medal. He had signed a 15year, $100 million contract with the Devils after being traded from the Thrashers in 2010 but left after three seasons.
“We’re looking for the intangibles and we’re going to look for the best three. With a 20-year-old, those players are usually your better players and also your leaders. Especially with the group that we have, those seven 20-yearolds are all good players, first and foremost. But we need them to be bigtime leaders on a rebuilding hockey club.” Players will report for fitness testing on Sunday, Aug. 30, before onice sessions get underway Aug. 31 at Western Financial Place. All on-ice training camp sessions are open to the public, beginning with the first prospects
game of the week Aug. 31 at 10 a.m. Notes: Kootenay Ice prospect Jakob Walter has his contingency plan in place. The 16-year-old netminder, a second-round pick (33rd) at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft, will move into the junior ranks this season after spending 2014-15 with the Valley West Hawks of the B.C. Major Midget League. Walter has committed to the Campbell River Storm of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, but will also attend training camps with the Kootenay Ice and Nanaimo Clippers of the British Columbia Hockey League.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My heart is breaking for my sister. She has been married to the same man for more than 30 years and he has never been kind or respectful toward her. They have two married sons and a grandchild with health problems. My sister loves that grandchild more than life itself, but she rarely gets to see him. Worse, her sons treat her terribly and I have no idea why. The younger son takes advantage of her, and the oldest acts as though his parents are beneath him. I have several siblings and although none of us is perfect, we have all tried our best to be good parents. My sister has recently developed medical problems, but she is so depressed about her life that she doesn’t care about her own health. I am worried about her. She deserves love and respect and has sacrificed herself for the men in her life. Should I write a letter to my nephews and open their eyes? -- Big Sister Dear Sister: If your brother-in-law has treated his wife disrespectfully their entire married life and she has tolerated it, then her sons will treat her similarly. That is the pattern they grew up with and they see nothing wrong with it. Your sister needs to assert herself and demand more acceptable behavior, but we suspect she doesn’t know how. If you want to write letters to your nephews, by all means do so, but be aware that it might not help and could estrange them from you. Can you enlist the help of your nephew’s wives? Men who treat their mothers disrespectfully often repeat the pattern with their wives. We also hope you will offer to go with your sister for counseling, not only so she can learn to stop putting up with such disrespect, but to help her move forward and take control of her life and her health. Dear Annie: Eleven years ago, when my father passed away, the funeral home gave my mother an American flag, since Dad was a veteran of WWII. As per his wishes, there was no funeral and my father was cremated. This flag was never used and my mother put it away in a closet. Now my mother is in a nursing facility and I have the flag. Annie, we already have a smaller flag that hangs by our front door. Dad’s flag has no sentimental value for me, but I have no idea who I can pass it on to or what else can be done with it. I can’t just throw it away. Do you have any suggestions? -- Daughter of a Vet in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Dear Daughter: Are there nieces, nephews or grandchildren who might like to have this flag? Please ask around. Here are some other ideas: Contact your local historical society to see whether they will accept this item, perhaps along with your father’s other war memorabilia if there is any. Also offer it to nearby schools, the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, your local fire department and the VFW to see whether they are interested. Finally, please contact the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs (cem.va.gov) to donate the flag for use in the National Cemetery.

Stock plunge got you rattled? Check your financial plan and risk tolerance Craig Wong Canadian Press
It’s gut check time, financial advisers said Monday as stock markets around the world went for a wild ride testing just how much risk investors are really comfortable with. The S&P/TSX composite index plunged more than 768 points in early trading, then recouped all but 77 points of that before again selling off for a huge loss of 420.93 points or 3.12 per cent to 13,052.74 at the close. The dive followed a tumble last week that saw the Toronto market suffer through five consecutive losing sessions — including a string of triple-digit losses — that brought the TSX down more than 800 points on the week. “If you are telling me today that your risk tolerance is not what you thought it was and you’re in the wrong model and you don’t want any downside losses, then we have some things to chat about,” said Brent Vandermeer, a portfolio manager with HollisWealth. “This is part of what equity markets have consistently done and will continue to do and we have to endure these downside storms even though we get very fearful and worried it is going to keep going down to zero.” The S&P/TSX composite index is down about 15 per cent from its high reached last year, while the Dow Jones industrial average is off more than 10 per cent from its high reached earlier this year. Sadiq Adatia, chief investment officer at Sun Life Global Investments, said if you aren’t sleeping well at night, worried about your investments, you have too much risk. But for those willing and able to withstand the downturn, Adatia suggested there may be opportunities to be had for some investors in some sectors. “We think again that oil prices won’t be sustainable at $40 three years from now, so we see the energy sector as a great opportunity,” he said. “But people have to understand they could still go lower and, in actuality, I think they are still going to go lower.” “But you’re not going to time exactly when those things start to bounce right back up.” While the drop in recent days looks big, compared with the downturn during the 2008-09 financial crisis, the move remains relatively small. During the financial crisis, the S&P/TSX composite index dropped more than 7,000 points from its 2008 high before reaching the bottom in 2009. However, if the plunge in the markets has rattled your nerves and you’ve realized that you really can’t tolerate the risk like you thought you could, Vandermeer recommends making portfolio changes now, not waiting for a little bounce back.

COTR transfer students excel Submitted
Students who transfer from an academic program at College of the Rockies and complete a degree at another BC institution do better academically than most of their peers. Excellent performance is just one of the findings of a recent report by The British Columbia Council on Admission and Transfer (BCCAT), which looked at students who transferred to a degree-granting institution between 2008 and 2012. The report found that COTR transfer students graduated with a higher grade point average (GPA) than students from most other BC colleges and universities. Further, 85 percent of COTR transfer students completed their degree – the highest completion rate of transfer students from any BC institution. “It’s pretty amazing that our students do so well provincially,” said Darrell Bethune, dean of academic programs at the College. “At UBC Vancouver, for instance, the report compared transfer students from 24 institutions, and College of the Rockies transfer students ranked first in terms of their graduating grade point average. Our students were also in the top five at SFU and UVic. It is a great testament to the small college experience.” According to the report, students transferring from the College went into degree programs in many fields. Nursing
College of the Rockies’ Dean of Academic Programs Darrell Bethune encourages students to consider the benefits of starting their arts or science degree at the College. was most popular, followed by Arts or Science, Education, social services, Engineering and Business. University Studies graduate, Haley Pelton found starting her post-secondary education at the College was very beneficial. “I had no problem getting full transfer credit for the courses I studied at the College. I also found that I had a much better experience of first and second year science courses than other students who completed them at uni-
versity, especially labs, because of the smaller class sizes and individual attention from instructors,” she says. “There’s no single reason that COTR does so well provincially, but it starts with having truly excellent faculty members in the classroom,” remarks Bethune. “We also offer more than 60 first year courses and 30 second year courses in University Arts and Science every year, on top of which we have all the specialized university-level courses in Kinesiology, Tourism and
Recreation Management, and Business Administration. Combine that with our UVic partnership degree programs in nursing and education, and our transfer agreements with colleges and universities in both BC and Alberta, and it is very easy for students to begin their degree at the College, taking advantage of lower costs and small class sizes, before transferring to larger institutions.” In 2015 COTR signed a dual admission agreement with the University of Lethbridge that guarantees qualified students a seat in eligible third year programs. The agreement, which covers most arts and science disciplines, gives College of the Rockies students entering third year the benefit of “returning student” status at ULethbridge, which includes scholarship opportunities, early registration, early access to campus housing, education advising from both institutions, and access to Co-op opportunities in the summer semester after their second year at the College. “You can now be a University of Lethbridge student doing your first two years at College of the Rockies,” Bethune adds. For information on the Dual Admission agreement, go to: cotr.ca/dual-admission-uofl. To learn more about current transfer options at College of the Rockies, go to: cotr.ca/transfer.
Careless driving, smoking penalties on way To m F l e tc h e r Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking. The B.C. government has signalled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving. Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded. Saskatchewan has introduced a one-week seizure of the vehicle for drivers who get two distracted driv-

penalties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes. Thomson appointed
Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP superintendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said he was considering the vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of cigarette butts, and prohibiting people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions. Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or barbecues with briquets for cooking, but conservation officers continue to find people lighting wood fires that give off sparks and can spread in dry conditions. The fall session will complete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to authorize a project development agreement for the Pacific Northwest LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.
