Kootenay Country Fair coming up ARNE PETRYSHEN

Get your prized pumpkins and cucumbers together because it’s almost time for the Kootenay Country Fair. Of course there are many things to do and see at the annual event that celebrates the area and the season. Trudy Larson, president of the Kootenay Country Fair Society, said the event is shaping up to be a great one. Larson said they are expecting upwards of 3,000 people at the event. She noted Fort Steele is unique in that no matter how many people are in attendance,

it never feels crowded. The fair takes place on Sunday, Sept. 13, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and has 20 different events. The events are put together by a dedicated group of ladies from the society. That includes the garden produce category, where potatoes, beans, carrots and other prized produce will be judged on quality, form, condition and appeal. Entry forms have to be in by Sept. 8 for the various categories that will be judged. Then they are brought in on Saturday after 1:30 p.m. then Mo

The Kootenay Country Fair is looking for photographs that really catch the eye and jump out at you, for a fantastic photo contest as part of the fair. There are several categories and age groups to be judged, deadline for entry is Sept. 8, and judging takes place Sept. 12. See details on Page 17. Now, who will rescue this damsel in distress!

“We also were able to ascertain in our opinion that the grizzly sow was not fatally wounded,” he said. Conservation officers had initially thought the hunter had wounded the bear, it appears that is not the case. “We believe that the bow hunter missed the bear,” he said. “We found all the arrows and nothing indicates that the bear was injured.” Caravetta said a helicopter has surveyed the area and not located any of the bears. “We believe they have left the area,” he said. “We are not proceeding with any further action to locate the bears and we do not feel that they are a public safety threat.” Caravetta said the hunter did nothing wrong in the situation, and just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. “We’re still doing some ground verification on some other things,” Caravetta said.

A grizzly bear attack that occurred Tuesday night has left a man with non-life-threatening injuries. Chad Dueck, of Cranbrook who is recuperating in Foothills Hospital in Calgary, described the encounter and subsequent injuries, on social media on Wednesday afternoon. Dueck, who had been bow hunting elk, was airlifted out of Cranbrook late Tuesday night. Conservation Officer Joe Caravetta said the individual confronted by a sow grizzly bear with two cubs. He said the attack occurred across from the Pritchard Road area, near the city’s spray irrigation fields. “He was injured by the bear,” he said. The bear then retreated. “Then the hunter was able to get out and get to a hospital.” Late Wednesday, Caravetta confirmed that they had located the site where the attack occurred and found several personal items of the hunter.

are judged. On Sunday the entries are displayed with their awards. “Then we have an auction in the afternoon, it’s usually preserves and baking and all the vegetables that are left — most people just leave their vegetables and their flowers and we auction them off at the end of the day,” she said. Then there are sections dedicated to the dog show, cut flowers and potted plants, home baking and much more. Entertainment is all lined up including musical talents of the the Good Ol’ Goats, a bar-

ber shop quartet and many more. “Most of them — except for two acts — will be wandering the fort singing,” she said. In the morning, from 9 a.m. to around 11 a.m. there will be a pancake breakfast which will raise funds for the fight against juvenile cancer. Then there are kids’ games at 1 p.m. Those include old fashioned games like sack races and egg toss, a pie eating contest, as well as other age-appropriate games.

All aboard for the Kootenay Country Fair Continued from page 1 This year the dog show was slimmed down from 10 categories to five for this year. “For that you register

at 2 p.m. and the show is at 2:30 p.m.” she said. “Dogs are welcome at Fort Steele on leashes. There will be a fruit

and vegetable truck with fresh produce for sale. There will be plenty of other vendors as well. She said that has been something that

people in the past have always asked for, and this year it is happening. Fort Steele itself will have a lot of its own events on such as wagon rides, and the train. The 4-H Club will bring sheep and goats out. This year, there are four locations for advanced tickets. “We’re trying advanced this year because there’s always such a line at the gate,” she said. “So if you get your tickets in advance there will be a special

gate to go through.” The advanced tickets can be purchased in Cranbrook at the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce and the Choice, or in Kimberley at the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce as well as the Snowdrift Cafe. The Kootenay Country Fair was started in Wycliffe years ago. “So it was a very small, little fair at the Wycliffe exhibition grounds,” she said. “About 11 years ago now we moved it to Fort Steel

The Kootenay Country Fair returns to Fort Steele Heritage Town Sept. 13. and carried on.” The society is helped by a grant from Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Group.

That has helped them keep the tickets prices as low as possible — $4 for an adult and $15 for a family.

Grizzly attacks bow hunter near Cranbrook Continued from page 1

“We’re not sure if there was some previous hunting that occurred that morning that may have brought the grizzly bear in there,” he said, clarifying that a kill from another hunter earlier in the day may have attracted the grizzlies to the area. “We got an inclination from the helicopter flight that there may be something like that that may have occurred,” he said. “So we’re doing some further investigation into that.” Caravetta said it the attack is being looked as a defensive one, rather than a predatory attack. It occurred in the timbered area

near between the field and the river. Caravetta noted there were four conservation officers specialized in predator attacks there assessing the situation. Two of the officers are from this area and two drove down last night. He said the recent drought has prompted bears to search out food and come closer to communities. “B.C. getting numerous calls on bear sightings certainly relates to the fact that it was very hot, and a very poor berry crop, as a result bears are moving further distances to locate food as they get prepared for hibernation

in the next two months,” he said. That is not just grizzly bears, but black bears as well. Caravetta said, with the reduced natural food source out there, they are asking the public to be extremely diligent when out in the bush. He said it’s also important to be diligent on things that could be attractants to bears, such as fruit trees, barbecues and garbage. “And just to be extra diligent in taking care that those attractants aren’t available to bears,” he said. If you encounter a bear, call the RAPP line as soon as possible at 1-877-952-7277 to report it.

FACTS You Need to Know About…

...THE NEW K-12 EDUCATION CURRICULUM... With

MLA,

Bill Bennett

As part of government’s larger transformation plans, a new K-12 education curriculum will be phased in over 3 years. Curriculum will continue to focus on reading, writing & arithmetic, but will enable students to learn as individuals using a broader range of tools.

Flexible learning is central. Students can learn core subjects while doing projects of their individual interest, such as music, hockey & dinosaurs. There will be more hands-on learning opportunities for students to see how theory applies in real life situations.

Teachers of K-9 will have the option to use the new curriculum now with full implementation in fall of 2016. The entire K-12 curriculum will be phased in by 2017-18. For the ﬁrst time, teachers collaborated on the creation of a new curriculum that includes all subjects.

Vaccine reminder for back to school Black Press

With communicable diseases such as whooping cough and measles making a comeback, Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall is reminding parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are up to date as they return to school. “By the time a child reaches five or six years old, he or she should

have received booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping cough and more, and kids in Grade 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations,” Kendall said. “This is all part of B.C.’s free, routine immunization program.” Parents can now sign up for free text message reminders at immunizebc.ca/reminders, and

Magnesium: A Common Deficiency By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

Magnesium is a vital mineral that is of often overlooked in favour of its counterpart Calcium. It is the second most common mineral deficiency next to Zinc and is crucial for over 300 different enzymatic reactions in the body. Some reasons for this wide spread deficiency include the processing of foods and use of certain fertilizers to grow fruits and vegetables leading to lower magnesium content. Some medications or conditions such as statins, chronic stress and digestive dysfunction can lead to a decrease in the absorption of dietary magnesium as well. Magnesium is necessary for the production of energy used by the cells and can also help relax skeletal and smooth muscle. Foods sources that are higher in magnesium include raw nuts, leafy green vegeatables, fish, organic soy beans and raw cacao. Common symptoms of mild-moderate deficiency are anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, panic attacks, muscle cramps or twitches, hypertension and headaches. Magnesium supplements come in a wide range of forms and vary in their ability to be absorbed and utilized by the body. Magnesium citrate and oxide are a lower cost form and tend to cause more digestive upset or diarrhea at lower doses, whereas magnesium glycinate/bisglycinate and other amino acid chelates are more absorbable and effective to correct deficiency. Magnesium has been shown to be effective for conditions such as migraine prophylaxis, hypertension, PMS, restless leg syndrome and sleep disturbances. I have also used it clinically to reduce muscle cramps and pain. Magnesium does interact with certain medications so it is important to consult a healthcare professional prior to starting any supplementation. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about magnesium or other vitamins and minerals.

the website also offers a smartphone app to manage immunization records. Kendall advocates that B.C. should join Ontario and New Brunswick in requiring parents

to provide vaccination records when children are enrolled in school. Vaccinations themselves would not be mandatory, but the records would allow schools to exclude un-

protected children during outbreaks of communicable disease, and give public health authorities an opportunity to help parents fill gaps in their children’s protection.

Credit union connects parents with $1,200 B.C. education grant T r e v o r C r aw l e y

The provincial government is encouraging parents in the region to take advantage of a grant program that will provide funding for education and training in their children’s future. In Cranbrook, Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford, parents ca go to the local branch of the East Kootenay Community Credit Union, to apply for a onetime grant of $1,200, will be deposited into a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) upon approval. In order to be eligible for the grant, children have to be born in 2007 or later and there is a three year deadline—or until the day before the child’s ninth birthday—to apply. Central 1 Credit Union is the host organization of the grant for their 42 member credit unions, consisting of 365 branches and more than 550

ATMs across B.C. “This is an easy way to give your children a head start in their post-secondary education and career training,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. With the $1,200 grant and an investment of $50 a month, savings could grow to $12,000 (based on a 3.5 per cent annual growth rate). Growth of funds will depend on the amount invested and actual returns. No matching or additional contributions are required to access the $1,200. Even a small amount of savings in a RESP increases the likelihood that a child will continue their studies after high school. In the next decade more than 78 per cent of job openings will require some form of post-secondary education and training.

RCMP believe 58-yearold Creston woman’s death was a homicide Lorne Eckersley Creston Valley Advance

Creston resident Katherine McAdam has died in what police suspect was a homicide. McAdam was the subject of a missing person investigation last week. “Forensic analysis of suspected human remains have confirmed them as being that of Katherine McAdam,” an RCMP press release said on Tuesday morning. The 58-year-old McAdam was reported missing from her home to the RCMP on Aug. 18. On the afternoon of Aug. 27, Creston RCMP members discovered “what they believed to be human remains” while conducting their inquiry at a residence in the 2700 block of Highway 3. The Southeast District major crime unit was contacted and has since taken over the investigation.

Remember way back in 2015?

“R

emember way back in 2015?” I said to my colleague, as we maneuvered the giant concrete block into position. “Before all this talk of building a wall?” Me, my colleague, and thousands of others were toiling like ants, building the Great Wall along the length of the Canadian/American border. Forty feet high, and when it would be done, it would be almost 9,000 kilometres long, including Alaska, and visible from space. “Seems weird, there used to be just nothing here,” my colleague said. “Just trees and stuff. Remember, every now and then the trees would catch on fire?” “Don’t have to worry about that now,” I said. “Not with the Great Wall!” “There was talk of it even before President-For-Life Trump (may he live forever) was elected, way back in 2016,” my colleague said. “He was originally talking about a wall along the U.S./Mexican border, but since the border with Canada is so much longer, he went for Canada instead.” “But wouldn’t that make the wall infinitely more expensive to build?” “Doesn’t matter to President-For-Life Trump (may he live forever). He got Mexico to pay for it.” Using our special wall-building machines, we got the giant block into its place along the Great Wall. Like the Canadian Pacific Railroad of yore, the Great Wall was being built in sections. We were looking forward to linking up with the Lower

Mainland wall-building gang one of these years. Building the Great Wall through the mountains was a job of work, all right, compared to, say, the prairie wall-building gangs. But it could have been worse. We could have been on the Alaska wall-building gang. My colleague and I stepped back to admire our work. On the giant block next to the one we had just installed was a giant advertisement for President-For-Life Trump’s Barry chain of mega-malls. “Hey Canada,” it read. Coulter “Once you’ve come through the armed checkpoints in the Great Wall and into our Land O’ Freedom, make sure to check out the Trump Pinch-a-Penny Centre and Casino in lovely Boise, Idaho. We’re offering 20 U.S. Cents on the Canadian Dollar. Bargains, Bargains, Bargains!” I stretched my shoulder muscles, made as powerful as a mule’s by years of wall-building. “You know, a chap could get used to this wall-building work,” I said. “Once we’re done here, in 2030, maybe there will be another wall-building job — in China or somewhere.” “I hear Prime-Minister-For-Life Harper (may he live forever) is having a giant pyramid made, as a symbol of his vastness,” my colleague responded. “I’m confused,” I said. “When are we actually supposed to say (may he live forever)? After we say ‘President-For-Life Trump (may he live forever), or PrimeMinister-for-Life Harper (may he live for-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ever)? It gets me so mixed up.” “You and everybody else. We all just err on the side of caution. We don’t to make a protocol mistake — the government will press gang you into the wall-building squads.” We both had a good laugh over that. “What were you, before you ended up on the Wall?” my colleague asked. “Small town newspaperman. Media were the first to taken up for the Wall. How about you?” “I was a scientist,” my colleage said. “We were actually the first to go to the Wall. You guys just didn’t report it.” The train huffed into view, carrying another massive load of concrete blocks. But it was late afternoon, and off in the distance the quitting-time whistle blew. “Say, it’s payday,” I shouted. “Let’s go find the straw boss!” We stood in line to collect our week’s wages. Because President-For-Life Trump had got Mexico to pay for the Great Wall across the Canada/U.S. Border, we were paid in pesos. “So much is this actually worth?” I asked my colleague, jingling the coins in my hand. “I don’t know yet,” he said. “I’ve been saving mine for a trip to the Trump PinchA-Penny Centre and Casino.” I looked back at the Great Wall, stretching off into the distance, still years from completion.

Barry Fire and Fundraiser

Tragically, a family home on acreage on St. Mary’s Lake Road burnt to the ground early a.m. on August 17. Kathleen Barry and her husband (Dave Barry, R.I.P. 2009) and children built this home which was lost to fire along with all contents, and six outbuildings. She and her family give deep gratitude for so many courageous people who came to their aid to put out the fire and be there in their trials during this time. The family is very thankful for emergency response from professionals as well as individuals. As with anything they are so very enormously grateful that no lives were lost. Courageous neighbours, her sons and friends, worked long and hard to extinguish the fire which was outside town limits. Unfortunately the rural property restricts professional fire fighters from coming onto the property. The emergency response was very swift; police, ambulance, follow-up hospital care, along with other such professionals managed to help in many ways for which the family extends great appreciation. Although there was no insurance, some larger garages and structures that held some lumber have been saved. Many friends and neighbours are now pulling together to work hard at clearing burnt debris and preparation to rebuild. The family is very humbled and grateful at the outpouring of food, clothing and supplies as quick response to get them through the first week of challenges. As with anything, thanking individuals at this time is difficult due to missing out

some names, so for now, please know how grateful the family is for so much aid in their time of difficulty and see the hearts of so many when such trials take place. For those who have been asking what they can do or how they can help. At this phase an online fund is being created listed below. Any funds contributed will go to the goal of building the new foundation of the home. One can access this fundraiser through the website: wwwYoucaring.org - Title: Barry Family Fire, Loss of Home and Belongings https://www.youcaring.com/ kathleen-barry-420369 Currently, family and some hard working friends are already excavating for the foundation of a new small cabin. Again, so much gratitude for safety of all and the many who have aided with time and energy and many, many prayers. Barbara Sytko On behalf of Kath Barry and Family

Politics at its best? Or politics at its worst?

With the official start of the federal election being called over the August long weekend, we also saw the start of political parties’ election sign campaigns. Now, love them, or hate them, they are part of the political tradition in Canada, and one of the most effective ways that candidates have to put their names forward to the public. As the Campaign Manager for Wayne Stetski, I knew that people would quickly tire of seeing too many campaign signs on public property. So, our team has chosen to be judicious and sparing in our ap-

proach. Every election in which I have participated in this area has had some level of mischief perpetrated on campaign signs, of all political stripes. Actions range from supposedly humorous slogans added to signs, to theft of hundreds of signs in a single night, to signs actually being burned. But I have always chosen to believe that these were the actions of misguided pranksters. I have never believed that it was politically motivated or the targeted actions of another campaign. This weekend, reports were made of widespread theft and damage of signs in communities across the riding, and a number of these incidents were severe enough to be reported to the RCMP. Unfortunately, this weekend, some campaign supporters also decided to make this a partisan issue, and statements have been made accusing other campaigns of orchestrating the damage. This is not acceptable in my view. Let me be absolutely clear. Vandalism and theft of campaign signs is a crime. It cannot be tolerated, and it must be reported. I choose to see the placement of campaign signs as politics at its best: individuals donating to buy campaign signs and hardworking volunteers taking the time to put the signs up and maintain them. This is true for every campaign team in Kootenay Columbia. And I believe that we all need to respect this fact, and respect each other. Joy Orr Campaign Manager for Wayne Stetski NDP Candidate for Kootenay Columbia

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week of Aug. 30 – Sept. 5

Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1901 Frank opens … Frank, the most recently organized town in Alberta is to be formally opened on the 10th and to commemorate the event a grand fete is to be given by the Hon. H. L. Frank and Mr. S. W. Gebo, the promoters of the coal mine at that place, who have prepared an elaborate program for those who elect to become their guests on that day. The new town of Frank is situated about two miles east of Blairmore on a broad level flat, stretching from the base of Turtle mountain across the valley of middle fork of the Old Man river to the mountains to the north of the river. It is one of the most picturesque spots in the Canadian Rockies and an ideal site for a town. Were badly beaten … Last Monday the Cranbrook Lacrosse club went to Fernie to play the boys of that town. They went, they played and they were conquered. The score stood four to one in favor of Fernie but the sting of defeat was lost sight of in the good time had as guests of the Fernie club, and the kind courteous treatment accorded them by all the ladies and gentlemen of that city. The boys were loud in their praises when they returned, and all agreed that the visit was one they would not forget very soon, Cheap meal … L. B. VanDecar, of the Royal hotel, is getting a great reputation for his Sunday evening turkey dinners, for which he only charges 25 cents. Mr. VanDecar has one of the best dining rooms in South East Kootenay, and everything is kept as neat as wax

throughout his establishment. NASTY TRICK … Someone played a practical joke on the Fernie police on Saturday last. Constable Farquharson, who had his chain gang working on the street near the jail, was taken ill and the men were left alone for a few minutes until Constable Barnes arrived to take charge. In the interval someone brought along a good supply of whiskey and loaded up the whole crowd, with the result that by the time Constable Barnes arrived a big fight was in progress and the whole crowd was soaked in booze. 1902 It is the same old story ... Just a difference in figures. That’s all. Cranbrook played Calgary. Who won? Say, stranger, where are you from that you should ask such a question? Cranbrook, of course. Haven’t they played 10 games this season? And haven’t they won 10? The scalps of East Kootenay hang at their belts, and four scalps from Alberta, one from Pincher, two from Medicine Hat, and now Calgary relinquishes a gory, hoary forelock. The boys left last Sunday. They traveled nearly 24 hours and then played. That don’t make any difference with that aggregation. They could go to the moon and win within 60 minutes after they got there. Can Jamieson pitch? All same cannon ball. And that man Bertram! Well, he has been catching freight trains for years, and a cannon ball is dead easy. Mallinson played first. Did you ever see a piece of meat drop into the mouth of a St. Bernard dog? It can’t escape. That’s Mallinson on first. He eats them, and then keeps on smiling. And then Hampden and Tedlock on second and third, finishes up the triangle of sure things. And that shortstop, Watson! That nice-looking, curly headed boy, who starts the girls

clapping their hands. He goes after a hot ball like a trout after a grass hopper. An eye like an eagle, a movement like a streak of lightning, he gets there with both feet and both hands every time. The outfield is a winner, but with Jamieson pitching they don’t get much to do. Harry Nevin, the man who makes the opposition crazy with his coaching, is poor! A fly in his field is like a silver dollar thrown on the bar with a thirsty crowd; it is gone. Hughes and Thorp are the other two, and they make a solid wall. The boys play ball all the time. They don’t booze, but are ready to work and attend strictly to business. E. H. Small, the manager, looks after them. They like him, and what he says, goes, when on a trip. And then they are all gentlemen. Cranbrook is proud of them as players and individuals. Hurrah for the baseball boys! A handy device ... A Grenier, of this city has patented a novel device for cooking steaks. It is a conical cover that is placed over any sized skillet, and does away with the smoke and steam that is such a nuisance in a kitchen. It also retains the flavour of the meats. Mr. Grenier is taking orders and sells them at 50c, 75c, and $1.50. He also makes them for restaurants and hotels, that work with pulleys and weights which are sold for $3.00. They are worth investigating, and would without a doubt prove a great help in any kitchen. Drop Mr. Grenier a card and he will be glad to call upon you. Not newsworthy … An item of news that is not news: The morning passenger train was late seven days last week. If there had been another day in the week it would have probably been late eight days.

Versatility, simplicity name of game for Mortlock Defenceman/forward hoping hard work earns him opportunity after coming to Kootenay Ice camp from Regina Pats Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Taylor Rocca Photo

After bouncing between Junior A and the WHL’s Regina Pats, forward/defenceman Nathyn Mortlock is hoping hard work, versatility and simplicity lead to opportunity in Cranbrook with the Kootenay Ice.

Kootenay Concert Connection in association with the Key City Theatre presents...

Legendary Juno Award Winning Guitarist

Nathyn Mortlock is hoping a versatile and simple approach to the game will give him a shot at cracking the Kootenay Ice. The 19-year-old native of Medicine Hat, Alta., is plying his trade at Kootenay Ice training camp this week after spending part of last season with the Regina Pats. Mortlock, who is listed as both a forward and defenceman, is hoping versatility and simplicity provide the key to a permanent place in the Western Hockey League. “It’s always good for the coaching staff to have options,” Mortlock said after scrimmaging Wednesday morning at Western Financial Place. “If you can play every position, that looks better. I think it’s a little bit of an advantage being able to play both.” While, Mortlock won’t be playing every position -- goaltender is a little bit outside of his realm -- he’s most comfortable on the blue-line and has spent training camp anchoring the right point. Only four regular defencemen from last season’s contingent stand fair odds at returning to the Ice blue-line. Rinat Valiev is expected to turn pro, while Tanner Faith and Tanner Lishchynsky, along with an injured Tyler King, represent a trio of 20-year-olds hoping to scrape out an overage spot. An overage battle rages on with six players in competition -- in-

cluding goaltender Wyatt Hoflin and forwards Jon Martin and Luke Philp, not to mention the fact forward Jaedon Descheneau is still eligible to return from the St. Louis Blues. With all that in mind, nothing is guaranteed for this year’s 20-yearold crew.

That leaves Troy Murray (1997), Cale Fleury (1998), Bryan Allbee (1997) and Dylan Overdyk (1997) the remaining veterans vying for ice time. At the end of the day, a veteran presence like Mortlock might not be a bad thing should one of the 20-year-olds not stick. The 6-foot-1, 183pound Mortlock has 35 games of WHL experience, including 28 contests at the end of the 2014-15 campaign with the Regina Pats. To top it off, he worked his way into eight playoff games with the Pats, and by all accounts, was reliable and serviceable. “We made a pretty good playoff run [in Regina],” Mortlock said. “We lost to a pretty good team in Brandon, but other than that, I was pretty happy with the way I played. “It is a good experience playing junior

hockey. You learn a lot just being committed and working hard.” Outside of his time in Regina, Mortlock spent 20 games with the Melville Millionaires of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. According to Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, Mortlock became available after he was released by the Pats following the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft. This fall, the versatile junior veteran has his eye on a permanent place in the WHL after being invited to Cranbrook by Garnet Kazuik, director of scouting for the Ice. “I’m just focusing on myself and playing the best that I can, showing the coaching staff what I can bring to the team,” Mortlock said. “I’m trying to just keep it simple and not do too much out there. Hopefully, if I play the way I do, I have a shot at making this team.” Kootenay Ice training camp concludes Thursday at 6 p.m. with the annual United Way Intrasquad Game at Western Financial Place. Notes: The WHL has announced it will be moving to a three-onthree, five-minute overtime period following any regulation tie during the 2015-16 season. The change was made from a five-minute, four-onfour overtime period in an effort to eliminate the number of shootout decisions. The change aligns with overtime rule changes made by the National Hockey League earlier this off-season.

Dynamiters deal Lane to Langley, sign rugged defenceman Bertoia Taylor Rocc a

The Kimberley Dynamiters have traded forward Lincoln Lane (1996) to the Langley Knights of the Pacific Junior Hockey League in exchange for future considerations. Nitros GM Mike Reid announced the deal Tuesday. “When we acquired Lincoln last year, there were some high expectations,” Reid said. “It wasn’t a good fit for him [in Kimberley] or for us. He wanted to get closer to home.” In 29 games with the Bruins, the native of Surrey, B.C., posted seven goals and 29 points. After

arriving in Kimberley, Lane continued his point-per-game pace with 17 points in 17 regular season games, but managed only one assist in 20 playoff games. In addition to trading Lane, Reid also announced the signing of 6-foot-2, 185-pound blue-liner George Bertoia (1998). “With the subtraction of Tyler Kinnon, we needed some more grit on the blue-line,” Reid said. “[Bertoia] is only 17, but he plays an aggressive style.” Bertoia had been at Junior A camp with the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hock-

BE VIGILANT AGAINST STANDING WATER; 2015 MOSQUITO CONTROL

Roadways are a very dynamic environment with situations and circumstances that can change quickly. There is great potential for injury and property damage if drivers are not obeying the rules of the road.

Effective mosquito control requires the combined the efforts of individual property/homeowners with those of the City of Cranbrook Mosquito Control Program. With water levels lower than average this year sources of standing water from around your property will have a huge potential for mosquito development. Some places to eliminate standing water include:

Signs and signals such as school zones, stop, yield signs and traffic lights are only a few tool used to assist drivers in keeping safe while they navigate City streets. In order for these signs and signals to work, they first need to be seen then obeyed. Please be aware of and respect all traffic signage and signals when driving all year. Make sure our streets are safe for everyone! A Message from the Cranbrook RCMP and the City of Cranbrook.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Normally, you fly with a new idea. Today, however, you are like a stick in the mud. You might note that some people will be doing double-takes because of this unusual behavior. Understand that good luck follows creative ideas. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Acknowledge differences of opinion. Not everyone will respond as you would like. If you try to coerce someone into your way of thinking, your efforts might backfire. Claim your power, but don’t feel as if you must push hard to get your way. Tonight: In the limelight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your sense of direction comes out in a discussion. Being more passive might be difficult, but it would be wise. You will see many alternatives, as you understand the different ideas being presented. Don’t hold back if questioned. Focus on a fun project. Tonight: Accept an offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be imaginative in your choices. Don’t allow another party to railroad your ideas. You know what works, and you know what you want. Though it might be nice to listen to others, remember that this is your life and these are your plans. Tonight: Where the action is. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Recognize that a boss could be unusually indulgent. Is there something you need to present to this person? Now is the time. You could be exhausted by everything that is going on around you. Maintain a sense of humor, and you will be fine. Tonight: Be available. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to move forward with a project, yet someone seems to want to discuss it a little more. You could view this as a waste of time, but give this person the courtesy of presenting his or her views without you attacking them. Tonight: Make time for a loved one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Make it a habit to talk with peo-

Tundra

ple individually rather than as a group. Your interactions will be enhanced as a result, and you’ll have a better sense of whether you have communicated effectively. Your effectiveness and your people skills can only benefit. Tonight: Be a duo. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others; you have a lot on your plate. Someone will want to assume responsibility and earn a leadership position. Let this person demonstrate his or her abilities, while at the same time releasing yourself from at least one obligation. Tonight: Be optimistic. Accept an offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Evaluate your responsibilities, and decide how much you need to complete. Plan accordingly, but don’t put yourself on a faster track than need be. You need to slow down and schedule a doctor’s appointment. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise, if possible. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in a position where you need to relax more. Open up

to new ideas, even though you’d prefer to follow a more traditional route. A little creativity is likely to spice up a lackluster concept. Tonight: Share a treat with a favorite person. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Reach out to a child or loved one you really care about. Have a long-overdue conversation with this person. Remain thoughtful, but take care of your needs as well. You might need to have a discussion about your bottom line and boundaries. Tonight: Happiest at home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Conversations remain active and worthwhile. How you handle a problem could change quickly as the result of a conversation. In fact, you might decide that you don’t have a problem. Let go and start relaxing in the company of another person. Tonight: Meet a pal for dinner. BORN TODAY Guitarist George Biondo (1945), snowboarder Shaun White (1986), musician Al Jardine (1942) ***

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I work in an office with nine other people. For some reason, my boss likes to share every boring detail of her personal life with us. We smile, listen politely and laugh at her “hilarious” anecdotes. This might be bearable if she showed any interest in our lives, but she doesn’t. Occasionally, with one foot out the door, she will ask, “How are you doing?” but it’s obvious she wants a quick answer at most. If she joins a conversation already in progress, she takes over and seems compelled to top whoever is speaking. She always has a bigger, better, funnier or more dramatic story, at least in her mind. Why does she do this? She is bright, talented and accomplished in many aspects of life. Why the need to be the star? She constantly has to send the message: “My life is exciting, your life is nothing.” I hope people will read this and ask themselves how much time they spend talking about themselves compared to how much time they spend listening to others. Is there anything we can do to change this? -- Arizona Dear Arizona: Your boss, like many outwardly successful people, still harbors deep insecurities. This is why she feels the need to prove that she is the most important and interesting person in the room. And because she is so focused on her own behavior, she has few brain cells left to devote to her staff’s personal lives, nor, frankly, does she need to. Your personal lives are not her business. But she is still your employer and if this is the worst thing she does, we’d put up with it. You are handling it perfectly - you smile, listen politely and laugh when called for. It’s annoying, but harmless. Just try not to roll your eyes. Dear Annie: In general, I agree that a guest should not put a bride or groom “on the spot” by asking to bring a date. But I’d like to mention a time when it worked. My partner and his daughter had been estranged for many years. One of the best things to happen was when his daughter’s fiance, a wonderful man, facilitated a reconciliation. Part of the reconciliation was an invitation to their wedding. After receiving the invitation, we had dinner with the fiance. We felt we had little choice but to confirm that, as the father’s partner, I was included in the invitation because my name was not on it. The fiance said yes. We’ll never know if that was simply his decision at the time, but had I not also been welcome, it would have undone all the work of reconciliation. I attended with my partner, everyone was delightful, and a great, celebratory time was had by all. -- A North Carolina Gay Partner Dear N.C.: Your situation is not the same as someone asking to bring a “plus one.” Established partners should always be included in such invitations. Nor was your partner asking to bring you. He was only clarifying the situation, which is perfectly fine. That fiance sounds like a gem. We are so glad he helped reconcile father and daughter, and that you are both welcome members of the family.

Judith Leigh McFarlane June 2nd, 1941 - August 25th, 2015 Judy peacefully passed away at the UBC Hospital, where she had wonderful care for her final weeks of life. She was predeceased by our Mother, Margaret and Father, Murray McFarlane. Sadly, Cousins, Aunts and Uncles as well. Judy left very special family members surviving her. Niece Julie (Darryl) and Great Niece Sarah home in Victoria. Nephew John and Great Nieces Emily and Jasmine, home in Hobart, Tasmania. Auntie Kay, home in Kimberley and Cousins and Friends. Her Sister Beth (John) in Kimberley, who will no longer share those long phone calls anymore. Judy spoke often of all of us. Judy, born in Cranbrook, spent her growing up years there. She left home for a secretarial course at the Mount Royal College in Calgary. Vancouver was calling, so her career was with ICBC until retirement. Then she could take cruises and enjoy time in her apartment, watering flowers on the deck and decorating it to her delight. She shared many trips and pleasures with our Auntie Edith, living only blocks apart. My life is now without my sister but I do have many funfilled memories. Thank you to Deryle and Jerry for giving Judy so much happiness on Vinyl. There will not be a service, your remembrance for Judy can be through the Alzheimer’s Society of BC. Judy’s family will place her name at the Serenity Gardens, Cranbrook Cemetery.

Johanna Kienzerle November 9, 1923 – August 27, 2015 Johanna passed away peacefully at the age of 91 years. She was born in Garmisch-Partenkirchen to parents Johann and Maria Demmel. Johanna is survived by her daughter Margot (Thomas) Ortner, and granddaughters Marion and Yvonne (Sebastian), as well as her son Hubert (Martha) Kienzerle with grandson Xaver (Judith) Kienzerle and great granddaughter Magdalena, and grandson Maximilian Kienzerle with Juliane Kienzerle. Johanna was predeceased by her loving husband of 42 years, Herbert Kienzerle. Together with him, Johanna had immigrated to Canada in 1975, where they both retired from work. After several years of living in the city of Edmonton, Johanna and Herbert realized their dream for a home in the Canadian Rockies by building a home near Cranbrook. Here Herbert and Johanna were able to enjoy nature and the open countryside. After Herbert had passed away in 1990, Johanna stayed in their home and took pleasure in the beauty of nature around her. Later on, as life slowed for her, Johanna was able to remain in her home with the help of her friends and neighbours, Patricia and Glen Creelman. Throughout the years in Canada, she had cherished a close relationship to her family and friends in Munich and Oberau, Bavaria (Germany), and was able to visit them regularly up to the age of 85 years Johanna spent her last years at Joseph Creek care village in Cranbrook, where she felt comfortable and well taken of. Following her deepest wish, Johanna will find her final resting place in Canada, close to her husband Herbert. The Kienzerle family expresses a deep gratitude to her close Canadian friends Kim and Fred Gietz in Fernie who helped Johanna manage her final years in her new homeland of Canada.

IN FIND IT THE CLASSIFIEDS RICE, Gordon Ransom April 4, 1941 August 20, 2015 It is with heavy hearts and sadness that the family announce the passing of Gordon “Gord” Rice. Gordon was 74 years old and a long time resident of Cranbrook, BC. Gordon was born and raised in Brandon, Manitoba. In his younger years he played the game of hockey. His love for the game brought him to Cranbrook in the late 1960’s. He played defense for the Cranbrook Royals Hockey team. Gordon began working at the Skookumchuk Pulp Mill in 1969, where he retired after 38 years of service. Gordon had a great passion for the outdoors. He spent many years enjoying hunting, trapping, guiding, fishing and camping. He married Heather in 1991 and together they enjoyed common interests and a love for the Bull River area. Later in his life he developed a rewarding and maddening relationship with the game of golf. Gordon took pride in having a nice yard. A weed would never exist long in his yard. Gordon enjoyed relaxed gatherings and sharing his cooking and did so many times with family and friends. He would often spoil hunters at the guiding camps with his famous recipes. Gordon was always willing to lend a helping hand with family and friends. Gordon is survived by his loving wife Heather. His daughters Heidi (James), Jody (Frank) and Heather’s children Cam (Bonnie), Marnie (Clifford) and Kelly (Scott). His brother Tom (Dorothy) and grandchildren Cody, Linden, Vania, David, Spencer, Carter, Delainey and Farrah. Several nephews and nieces. And many special friends. He was predeceased by his parents Jack and Gladys Rice. In honour of Gordon’s request, there will be no formal service. He wished for a remembrance of him to be at a special place up the Bull River. In lieu of flowers and in Gordon’s honour a donation can be made to the Cranbrook Minor Hockey League, Attn: Carla Thompson, 1777 2nd St. N, Cranbrook, BC V1C 7G9. We all hold fond memories of Gordon that make us smile. He was a man who smiled often, had a unique laugh, and a great sense of humour. He will be forever missed by everyone who knew him. Always in our hearts.

On Saturday, September 19, community members will have the opportunity to test drive a new Ford vehicle and, at the same time; help raise funds for East Kootenay Foundation for Health’s areas of greatest need. The test drive will be set up in the parking lot of Denham Ford from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where several brand new Fords, for licensed drivers ages 19+ will be available for a test drive. The Drive one 4 UR Community program was developed as a fun, engaging way to help communities to raise money to support non-profit organizations. For every valid test-drive completed, Ford Motor Company

will donate $20 to EKFH, up to $6,000! Since Denham Ford began holding Drive One 4 UR Community events in Cranbrook in 2010, they have been able to raise and donate a significant amount of funds to a wide range of organizations. To date they have raised over $15,000, and have hosted over 5 community Drive One Events..... and the number keeps on growing! So, come down for a hot dog and drink and take a Ford for a quick test drive with an EKFH volunteer – no sales person involved. Anyone with a valid driver’s licence earns us $20.

Study calculates there are now 3 trillion trees now on Earth Seth Borenstein Associated Press

More than 3 trillion trees now grow on Earth, seven times more than scientists previously thought. But it’s also trillions fewer than there used to be, a new study concludes. A United Nations-affiliated youth group had a goal of planting one billion trees and Yale forestry researcher Thomas Crowther was asked if planting that many trees would do anything to help combat human-made climate change. Trees capture and store heat-trapping carbon dioxide. Crowther said first he had to figure out how many trees are on Earth and that number was far more than anyone expected: 3.04 trillion trees, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. The previous estimate was 400 billion trees and that rough count was based on satellite images peering down from space. Crowther and colleagues used 429,775 ground-based mea-

The new estimate includes “ground truth” density data from 400,000 forest plots (BBC). surements along with satellite measurements and computer models to get a more accurate figure. “These things really dominate our planet,” Crowther said. “They are the most prominent organisms on our planet and there are 3 trillion of them.” But Earth used to be covered with far more trees. Using computer models, Crowther and colleagues estimated that before human civilization Earth had about 5.6 trillion trees.

Parents feeling the pinch of supporting their adult children C a n a d i a n P r e ss

TORONTO - A new poll suggests adult children are draining their parents’ retirement nest eggs. The CIBC survey has found that twothirds of Canadian parents polled say they’re feeling the financial impact of supporting their adult children. Almost half of them said supporting their adult kids is hampering their ability to save for themselves, while 20 per cent say it has actually delayed their

retirement. One in four parents said they spend more than $500 a month to cover their adult kids’ rent, groceries and other bills. The top two expenses are groceries and other household expenses and cellphone bills. The survey of 1,054 randomly selected Canadian parents was conducted two weeks ago. It’s considered accurate within plus or minus three percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

So the number of trees on Earth has been chopped nearly in half. Crowther mostly blames people. His study found that 15 billion trees are cut down each year by people, with another 5 billion trees replanted. That’s a net loss of 10 billion trees a year. At that rate, all of Earth’s trees will be gone in about 300 years. “Humans are diminishing that huge population on such a global scale,” Crowther said.

Nearly 1.4 trillion of Earth’s trees are in tropical and subtropical forests, but that’s also where the rate of forest loss is the highest, the study found. So if there are so many trees on the planet, the planting of a billion trees wouldn’t do too much to fight climate change on its own, Crowther conceded. But he said that didn’t stop the tree planters group; they just upped their goal. On its website, Plant for the Planet says the

objective is now 18 billion Now that’s over many decades, and it might be hard to find space, but it can be done, Crowther said. Outside scientists such as Norm Christensen of Duke University said the way the study was conducted made sense and is well executed. But he wonders how useful it is to know the number of trees. Former U.S. Forest Service chief Mike Dombeck said the same thing, adding the issue is more than a number but the big picture of what trees do to help Earth and local ecosystems. Crowther said he and his colleagues all wondered the same thing, but the detailed maps of forest density can help conservation efforts. For example, if a jaguar needs a certain number of trees to survive, this can help in rebuilding the right habitat for the large cat, Crowther said. Also, it spurs people to realize how important it is to take care of and replant forests, Crowther said.

Fox News anchor sues Hasbro over toy hamster that shares her name Associated Press

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - An anchor for Fox News is suing Hasbro for more than $5 million over a toy hamster that shares her name - and possibly even her resemblance. Harris Faulkner sued Hasbro this week over its plastic Harris Faulkner hamster, sold as part of the Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based company’s popular “Littlest Pet Shop” line. She says the toy wrongfully appropriates her name and persona, harms her professional credibility as a journalist and is an insult. “Hasbro’s portrayal of Faulkner as a rodent is demeaning and insulting,” says the lawsuit, which was filed Monday in U.S. District Court in New Jersey. Faulkner has been at Fox News for a decade. She hosts the daytime show “Outnumbered” and anchors a Sunday evening newscast. Her lawsuit says in addition to sharing her name, the toy bears a physical resemblance to Faulkner’s traditional professional appearance, including its complexion, eye shape and eye makeup design. The Harris Faulkner toy was introduced in 2014, according to the law-

suit, and was sold in a package along with a terrier named Benson Detwyler. Other toys in the popular line include animals named Pancakes Watkins, Puffball Petrovsky and Pepper Clark. The lawsuit says that Faulkner never gave permission for Hasbro to use her name or likeness and that she even demanded in January that Hasbro stop using it. More than three weeks later, it was still for sale on Hasbro’s website, the lawsuit contends. It says that as of July, Faulkner’s name was still being used on a website to sell “Littlest Pet Shop” products, and the plastic hater that bears her name can still be bought at other online retail stores. Julie Duffy, a Hasbro spokeswoman, said the company doesn’t comment on litigation, but she took issue with the lawsuit’s contention that the doll is a “known choking hazard that risks harming small children.” “The Littlest Pet Shop product identified, and all products in the Littlest Pet Shop line, meet and exceed all safety standards,” Duffy said. Faulkner is seeking $5 million in damages and attorney fees, plus any profits the company made on the toy.

It happened Continued from page 1 Some editor … F. J. Smyth, editor of the Moyie Leader blew into town Tuesday with a new suit of clothes and a butterfly necktie. Smyth is the Beny Wall of Moyie and men go miles to gaze with awe and admiration at his ties. Among the newspaper men of East Kootenay, Smyth is the Adonis as good looks are his long suit, and he has a laugh that drives away the blues, cures despondency, makes the hair grow and brings joy to the sorrow-ladened. 1903 A few good jabs … Mr. W. R. Ross went down to Cranbrook on Thursday. Before leaving home in the morning he felt twinges of lumbago but paid little attention to it. The pain grew worse during the day and when on the train coming home Dr. Gordon, of Phoenix, who was with him found it necessary to give him several injections of morphine to ease the pain. Got off lucky … A rancher named Martinier, living near Wardner, had a preliminary hearing Tuesday on the charge of assault and attempted shooting. The evidence showed that Martinier had had difficulty with a neighbor named Rous over some cattle; that they had words and that Rous had used some rough language; that Martinier had chased Rous with a pitch fork and attacked him several times; that he had finally run to the house, got his gun, came out pulling down the lever as if loading, and raised the gun toward Rous; that just at this juncture another neighbor grabbed the gun and placing one hand on Martinier’s shoulder, said: “Don’t shoot and do something you will have reason to regret;” this stopped the fight as Rous hurried home as fast as he could run. The judgment of the court showed one day. The people showed surprise. A big gold find ... It is rumored that a very rich strike of gold has been made somewhere about the head of Perry Creek recently, and a number of prospectors have struck out in that direction. Specimens of ore have been shown containing large pieces of gold, also rich in silver in the form of horn silver. It is said that there is a large vein, and that it promises to exceed anything yet discovered in East Kootenay. Dan Monroe is the discoverer, and a man by the name of Ross has negoti-

ated for a group of six claims. The locality is about 30 miles from Cranbrook. A caustic letter ... Citizens of Cranbrook, your town is beautifully situated amidst nature’s majestic scenery, supplied with an abundance of pure, cold water, fresh, cool atmosphere, and in many respects an inviting town to live in. And we regret that any of its inhabitants should unthinkingly make such a spot unhealthy and dangerous to live in. We have heard strangers say that an epidemic would come from our stinking lanes and sloughs close to the business portion of town, which men and boys try to make rather worse than it would otherwise be by filling up our alleys and streams with all manner of trash, until sickness has come and our schools are closed. But what are we going to do about it? If I dare take Constable Morris into some of these dens of filth and compel him to stay right there for two hours to discuss politics, and he had the power to clear away that nuisance it would be done before he went to that spot the second time. Where does the town site company reside? In Russia? If they are deaf to humanity, where are the religious societies? I hope not getting missionaries for China while there ismsuch a rich harvest in B.C. Where are the labor societies? Have they no thought about the health of their families? Where are the fiery socialists who are taking by main force what they want? Their manly muscle would soon clear away our dirt and filth. My three score years and ten longs to see you at it. I will throw in a fiver to start you, and will say that the first society that will put its shoulder to the wheel shall get it with a “well done, good and faithful servant,” because your talent isn’t hid in a napkin, and the highest Christian duty is to help one another. And isn’t it a fine chance that we have now to save our fellows from suffering? Ten times better than jealousy and bigotry or church going to satisfy our minds upon religious duty. Who is the first to say, “Organize for work?” Religious or moral societies? We have only got to say the work shall be done, and that settles it. Thomas Maycook.

Who would have believed that mortgage rates would have such a continued downward trend? Mortgage shoppers are looking at some of the lowest rates in history, and many home owners with existing fixed-term mortgages are experiencing some ‘rate envy’ about today’s rock bottom rates. It might be worth a conversation about your options. Typically, we think of a fixed term mortgage as a non-negotiable contract. And it’s true that there are financial penalties to re-negotiate. But, many clients have been asking for a mortgage analysis – a detailed look at the penalties versus the payoffs – to determine whether it’s worth refinancing. What does it cost to get out of your existing mortgage? Generally, you can expect to pay the greater of either a) three months’ interest, or b) the interest-rate differential. The interest rate differential can be high in some cases; your mortgage lender will expect you to pay them the equivalent of what they

will lose by releasing you from your mortgage and lending the money at current rates. So is it worth it? For some homeowners it can be an important moment of opportunity, while for others, it may not be worth the costs involved. Most lenders will include the cost of the payout penalty and other costs into the new mortgage so you don’t have to be out of pocket to complete the transaction. I would be happy to help you make a realistic assessment of your situation and help you determine if your benefit outweighs the cost. With rates where they are today, there’s never been a better time to talk.

Three things that do or don’t change with a Bank of Canada rate cut. 1. The prime rate does, but lenders decide how much of that cut they will pass on to consumers. If you have a variable mortgage, you are now paying

less; sixty per cent of the two recent cuts are now reflected in lower variable rate. Take advantage and keep your payments the same so you pay off your principal faster. 2. Fixed rates don’t, they are influenced by the bond market. 3. Variable mortgage approvals don’t, they are based on a qualifying rate, which means your borrowing power likely won’t increase.

Thinking of fall’ing into home ownership? Let me help determine how much home you can afford and pre-approve you before you start shopping. We’ll also discuss downpayment options and all of the costs associated with buying a home. Don’t be tempted to rush into anything just because the holiday season approaches so quickly. It’s best to make sure you find the right house and stick with your budget. If you are thinking of jumping into home ownership this fall, let’s have a conversation!

Worried your child isn’t eating right?

How to make school lunch healthier The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions.

Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired.

As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutritionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch. America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while limiting calories. Despite some controversy through the years, including some students saying the smaller portions and food choices aren’t always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen marked improvements. Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy

* Make small changes that add up. Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients.

* Remember, beverages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-filled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages.

Offering healthy school lunches is an important step to raising healthy kids. New guidelines and offerings make it easier for kids to get the nutrition they need for their growing bodies.

Back to school means elevated risk for lice Millions of children will soon be heading back to the classroom. Although the return of school may elicit smiles from parents who have spent the entire summer trying to keep kids busy and out of trouble, when kids start bringing home notices of head lice outbreaks, those wide grins may fade.

Although head lice can strike just about anyone anywhere, it seems to proliferate in close quarters, like those of a typical classroom. Children who keep backpacks and belongings beside other students’ items may unwittingly pick up lice and bring them home, where they can infect the child and other members of the family. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says lice are parasitic insects that can be found on people’s heads and bodies. Lice feed on human blood. There are three types of lice that live on humans: head louse, body louse and pubic “crab” louse. Only the body louse is known to spread disease. Lice are wingless parasites that can only crawl to their host for feeding. They cannot jump or fly like fleas. By and large, lice are relatively harmless creatures, though they can be a nuisance. Lice bites are known to cause irritation and inflammation on the scalp. Persistent scratching may lead to infection. Lice do not signal that a person has bad hygiene, and a child who contracts lice should not be embarrassed. Lice are a common problem among students. Lice are small and grayish-white in appearance, and they are usually no larger than a sesame seed. They can move fast, so usually lice infestation is identified by spotting the lice eggs, which are called nits. These look like tiny, yellow or tan dots

pr e se nt s

before they hatch. Lice lay nits on the hair shaft close to the scalp. This is the ideal temperature for keeping the eggs warm until they hatch. Many lice nymphs will feed on blood every day to grow into adult lice. However, a louse can survive up to two days off of the scalp. That means a person can “catch” lice from a hat or a piece of clothing if a louse climbed into the material. Treating head lice means ridding the head of all nits and adult lice. A special comb is used to capture the tiny eggs. This can be a painstaking process, particularly for children with long hair. Topical insecticides in lotion and shampoo are used to kill the lice. However, these products may not penetrate the nits, so the topical solution may need to be applied several days later to kill any emerging lice. The best way to combat lice is to emphasize prevention. Children should not share combs, brushes, scarves, hats, or other clothing. They also should avoid close physical contact with someone who has lice. Should a child get lice, he or she should stay home from school and the nurse should be notified. Wash all objects that the child has used and launder all clothes, towels, linens, and other items in hot water to kill any lice. Vacuum the home frequently to remove lice or fallen hairs with attached nits from upholstered furniture and rugs. Back to school season reintroduces kids and their parents to lice. Parents and their kids can take certain preventive measures to greatly reduce youngsters’ risks of coming down with lice. TF149536

How to help kids transition back to the classroom

The dawn of a new school year is an exciting time. Kids may not want to say goodbye to days spent lounging by the pool, but such disappointment is often tempered by the prospect of returning to school with friends. For parents, getting kids ready for a new school year is about more than updating their wardrobe or organizing carpools with fellow parents. Reacclimating kids to the routine of school after a relaxing summer is a significant undertaking, and the following are a handful of ways for parents to get a head start as the school year draws closer.

* Establish a routine over the last few weeks of summer. Summer vacations typically lack the structure of the school year, and that lack of structure can help kids unwind and make the most of the free-

dom that summer vacation provides. But as summer starts to wind down, parents can begin to reintroduce some structure into their kids’ lives to make the transition back to school go more smoothly. Plan morning activities so kids can readjust to waking up early each day. In addition, serve breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time you typically serve it during the school year so kids’ bodies can begin to readjust as well.

* Take kids along when shopping for school supplies. If you plan to buy your child a new computer or other supplies for the upcoming school year, take him or her along on your shopping trips. Kids who get to choose their supplies might be more excited about returning to school than those youngsters who are given what

they need without offering their input.

* Monitor or assign summer reading. Many students are given summer reading lists to keep their minds sharp over the summer and prepare them for upcoming coursework. Parents should monitor kids’ progress on such reading lists and even discuss the books with their kids when possible. Read the books along with them if you think it will help engage them. If kids were not assigned summer reading lists at the end of the school year, assign your own books, rewarding kids when they finish a new book. Kids who read throughout the summer may be more likely to start the school year off on the right foot than those who don’t crack a book all summer. * Encourage kids to sign up for extracurricular activities. Many school-aged ath-

How to help distracted students Today’s students have more gadgets at their disposal than ever before. As technology like tablets and smartphones have become more prevalent in the lives of adults, such devices also have become more commonplace in the classroom. Some kids thrive when teachers utilize technology to enhance lesson plans, while others may be distracted by access to technology. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common childhood disorders. ADHD can make it difficult for kids to maintain focus in the classroom, and that focus may be enhanced or further compromised by technology that’s capable of serving many different functions. Kids who use the technology to their advantage may find it improves their ability to grasp lessons, but some kids may be distracted by devices or even other items in the classroom that make it difficult for them to absorb lessons. Parents concerned about their kids’ ability to cope with distractions in the classroom and at home can take the following steps in an effort to help youngsters improve their academic performance. * Speak to your child’s teacher about seating assignments. Students who find it difficult to focus in the classroom may benefit from new seating assignments. Windows or high-traffic areas of the classroom, such as doorways, can compromise a student’s ability to focus. In addition, the back of the classroom is not the ideal spot for youngsters who find it difficult to focus on the teacher, as teachers may not notice kids in the back of the class as readily as they might with students sitting in the front of the room. * Encourage participation. Many teachers recognize the value of active participation in the classroom, but kids who are struggling to focus may shy away from participating because they are worried about embarrassing themselves in front of their classmates. Parents and teachers can work with students to encourage them to participate, reassuring them that they don’t need to be experts on a given subject to contribute to lessons. Even if students’ participation is limited to asking questions rather than answering them, encouraging kids to raise their hands and participate in class may help them focus more on the lessons being discussed. * Minimize distractions at home. Kids who have no trouble focusing in the classroom may find it’s a whole different ballgame when they arrive home to study or do their homework. Mom and Dad no doubt have their own gadgets around the house, and such devices as well as television may be too difficult for youngsters to ignore. At home, parents can create a safe haven from distraction by desig-

nating a room or area of the house for schoolwork. Such areas should be clear of distractions like television, telephones, video game consoles, and other gadgets that can compromise a student’s focus. Make such areas off limits to cellular phones and block social media websites from computers in such rooms so kids aren’t tempted to spend study time chatting with friends online. If a child’s study area is not in a separate room of the house, parents should avoid turning on the television until kids have finished their studies for the night.

* Consider playing games designed to improve attention and focus. Games designed to improve attention can be a fun way for parents to help their youngsters conquer their concentration issues. For example, the creators behind Lumosity. com collaborated with researchers from universities around the world in an effort to design games to improve visual attention in people of various ages and backgrounds.

Recognizing cyberbullying

Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bullying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital networking and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent. According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying. Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social media sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more difficult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy. Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies can be challenging. Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. * Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smartphone or choose

* Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal accounts. Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages.

* When online, children should be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites may be used by bullies to gather sensitive information about a person that can be used against them at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who aren’t close friends.

The origins of Labour Day Though millions of Canadians now see the first Monday in September as one last opportunity to enjoy some summer recreation with friends and family members, Labour Day is symbolic of much more than long weekends and backyard barbecues. City Council, on behalf of the residents of Cranbrook, thanks all of our staff for their hard work and dedication to our community.

We wish to recognize the important contribution each of you makes to benefit our wonderful City each and every day. Enjoy your Labour Day!

www.cranbrook.ca

Labour Day was inspired in large part by Canada’s growing industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, when competition for work in the nation’s rapidly growing cities was fierce and workers who complained of long workweeks or poor working conditions could easily be replaced. Such was the case in Toronto in 1872, when printers threatened to strike after years of lobbying for shorter workweeks. Those protests went ignored, and on March 25, 1872, the city’s printers went on strike. Within weeks, other workers in the city began to support the printers, whose strike had interrupted Toronto’s thriving publishing industry. Within three weeks of the printers going on strike, 2,000 workers marched through the streets of Toronto. The number of marchers gradually grew, and eventually 10 percent of the city’s population, or 10,000 people, had joined in the march that culminated at Queen’s Park.

Strong, united and dynamic communities full of people who care for one another. That’s what the labour movement has to offer British Columbians. We’re travelling the province to spread the word. BCGEU President Stephanie Smith

But the striking worker’s efforts did not go unchallenged, as Toronto Globe founder George Brown replaced his printers with workers from nearby towns and even took legal action to put an end to the strike and have its organizers arrested for criminal conspiracy.

But Prime Minister John A. MacDonald, who worked on the opposite side of the political aisle as Brown, spoke out against the publisher’s efforts during a public demonstration at City Hall. MacDonald eventually passed the Trade Union Act, decriminalizing trade unions, and set the leaders of the strike free.

Though many printers who walked out never regained their jobs, and those that did still did not earn shorter workweeks, their efforts did mark an important step forward with regard to worker’s rights in Canada. The movement that had started in Toronto soon spread to other Canadian cities, where workers also demanded shorter workweeks.

Other cities also adopted parades in honor of the march that first caught the attention of MacDonald in 1872, and in 1894 then-Prime Minister Sir John Thompson officially declared Labour Day a national holiday.

Celebrate working men and women PAGE B10 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2015

Labor Day is a bit of a misnomer. While it may seem like a day devoted to work, many workers in the United States and Canada don’t work at all on Labor Day.

Labor Day is much more than the unofficial end to summer. Labor Day weekend tends to be the last big travel weekend before the holiday season, benefitting towns and businesses that cater to tourists. But while road trips and backyard barbecues are now staples of Labor Day, the origins of the holiday bear little resemblance to the celebrations of today.

Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York. This was based on plans from Maguire’s Central Labor Union. Other states and cities would eventually adopt the first Monday in September as Labor Day. As labor unions grew, other cities started celebrating Labor

Day, which McGuire suggested should be a day to honor those “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

Soon the popularity of Labor Day grew and recognition by the government fol-

lowed. By 1885, municipal ordinances recognizing Labor Day had been passed, and they inspired state legislation. While Labor Day was first celebrated in New York, in 1887 the state of Oregon became the first state to officially pass a law recognizing the first Monday of September as Labor Day. New York, along with Colorado, Massachusetts and New Jersey, implemented Labor Day observations soon after. On June 28, 1894, Congress officially passed an act that declared the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday. This applied to all states as well as the District of Columbia. Labour Day also is celebrated on the first Monday of September in Canada, where the day celebrates workers and the labor union movement.

Labor Day in the United States dates back to the 19th century, though its origins are still debated by historians. According to the United States Department of Labor, recent research supports the idea that Labor Day was the brainchild of machinist Matthew Maguire, who supposedly devised the idea in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. Others attribute the holiday to Peter J. McGuire, a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor and general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.

It’s important for people living in North America to recognize both the significance and the history of Labor Day, which is about far more than backyard barbecues and the last of summer jaunts to the beach.

AUTOMOTION Obama gets Iran deal victory as Democrats amass enough votes ERIC A WERNER AND MAT THEW LEE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama secured a landmark foreign policy victory Wednesday as Democrats amassed enough votes to ensure the Iran nuclear deal survives in Congress, despite ferocious opposition from Republicans and Israel’s government. The backing from

Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski gives supporters of the agreement the crucial 34th vote in the 100-member chamber they need to uphold an Obama veto of a congressional resolution of disapproval if Republicans pass such a measure later this month. And it spells failure for opponents of the international agreement who sought to foil it by turning Congress

against it. Leading that effort were Israel and its allies in the U.S., who failed to get traction after spending millions of dollars trying. The agreement signed by Iran, the U.S. and five other world powers limits Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for hundreds of billions of dollars in relief from international sanctions. Republicans and Israeli officials con-

McConnell spared the accord no criticism, saying it leaves Iran “with a threshold nuclear capability.” In a letter delivered to Congress Wednesday, Secretary of State John Kerry called Israel’s security “sacrosanct,” recounting the billions of dollars the U.S. has provided the Jewish state for missile defence and other security assistance. U.S. and Israeli of-

his group also would continue rallying opposition to the nuclear agreement. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, grudgingly acknowledged that his side would not be able to block the deal after Obama, in his words, secured “the tepid, restricted and partisan support of one-third of one house of Congress.”

tend that concessions made to Iran could enable the country to wreak havoc throughout the Middle East. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had personally lobbied U.S. lawmakers to block the nuclear pact, will continue fighting the agreement, an Israeli official said. Marshall Wittmann, spokesman for the proIsrael lobby AIPAC, said

ficials, he said, are working on a deal to “cement for the next decade our unprecedented levels of military assistance.” The letter was sent as Kerry defended the Iran deal in Philadelphia. His speech was carried live on television in Iran, an unusual occurrence. “Rejecting this agreement would not be sending a signal of resolve to Iran, it would be broadcasting a message so puzzling that most people across the globe would find it impossible to comprehend,” Kerry told lawmakers and civil leaders at the National Constitution Center. “It’s hard to conceive of a quicker or more selfdestructive blow to our nation’s credibility and leadership - not only with respect to this one issue, but across the board, economically, politically, militarily, even morally. We would pay an immeasurable price for this unilateral reversal,” Kerry argued. He said the Obama administration would ensure that America’s Arab allies, like Israel, would have the “political and military support they need” to protect themselves from the threat posed by Iran. White House press secretary Josh Earnest called the growing support a validation of Obama’s effort to “make sure that every member of the Senate understands exactly what’s included in the agreement.” The deal sets Iran back so that it is at least a year away from being able to produce enough nuclear material for a weapon, before the restrictions ease after a decade. With opposition to the agreement failing to take hold on the Democratic side, supporters may be able to muster the 41 votes needed to block the disapproval resolution from passing in the first place, sparing Obama from having to use his veto pen. That would require seven of the 10 remaining undeclared senators to decide in favour of the deal. Even if Congress passes the disapproval resolution, it can’t stop the deal reached by Iran, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China.
