The Way Of The Future (circa 1964) Amphicar is still the fastest car on the water, fastest boat on the road A RNE P E TRYS HEN

It’s the fastest car on the water and the fastest boat on the road. Scott Panattoni’s amphicar could be seen last week floating on Hahas Lakes, near Kimberley. The amphicars were in production from 1961 to 1967. U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson was said to enjoy surprising unsuspecting passengers by driving into the lake at his ranch shouting about a brake malfunction. Panottoni’s grandfather bought one of the German produced amphicars new in 1964. His grandfather had lived in Invermere and a year after buying the amphicar, he and Panottoni’s father were out on the lake and the wheel bearing failed. “You couldn’t get parts for them,” Panottoni said. “So he parked his for 15 years.” Panottoni’s grandfather

RCMP charge Alberta Amber Alert suspect with two counts of first-degree murder C ANADIAN PRESS

BLAIRMORE, Alta. - Police have charged a man with murder in the deaths of a two-year-old southern Alberta girl and her father. RCMP say Derek James Saretzky, 22, of Blairmore, Alta., faces two courts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Terry Blanchette, 27, and his daughter Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette, who was the subject of an Amber Alert earlier in the week. “Mr. Saretzky also faces one count of indignity to a human body in relation to Hailey’s death,” Supt. Tony Hamori said Wednesday. The body of the girl was found on Tuesday in a rural area near Blairmore, 170 km east of Cran-

brook. The tragedy began to unfold early Monday morning when Hailey’s father was killed in his home and his daughter was taken away in a speeding white van. Police said they have found a van that they believe is connected to the case. Hamori said Saretzky and Blanchette knew each other, but wouldn’t provide further details. “The RCMP extends its deepest condolences to the Blanchette and Dunbar family with respect to Hailey and Terry’s loss, and to all those who knew them and to the citizens of Blairmore,” he said. Saretzky is to appear in Lethbridge court on Sept. 23.

Pratt updates Chamber on the state of the city TRE VOR CR AWLEY

Despite economic challenges facing communities across the country, Cranbrook is making progress on a number of issues, according to Mayor Lee Pratt, in an annual State of the City address to the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce. Pratt touched on a number of issues such as the housing market, business licenses, economic development, city budgeting, operations at the Canadian Rockies International Airport, tourism and the dredging of

Idlewild Lake. With figures provided by Jason Wheeldon, of Royal LePage East Kootenay Realty, Pratt noted that sales vary within the different price ranges of single-family dwellings. “Currently there are 116 single-family dwellings offered for sale on Multiple Listings in Cranbrook and our local market, I have to say, is affected by commodity prices. We do expect demand to erode slightly with the decline in consumer confidence and further layoffs in the commodity

MAYOR LEE PRATT based sectors such as oil and gas and the coal and mining up north,” Pratt said. There are currently 109 building permits be-

tween residential and commercial construction in Cranbrook, with year-to-date construction costs at $5.9 million. Last year’s YTD costs were $27.9 million, but that is mainly due to the ICU expansion up at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. There is currently one 93-lot subdivision under construction with three housing developments pending in very early stages that have the potential to add 61 more units.

Mayor holds forth on state of the city Continued from page 1 For business licenses, there are 83 new permits issued, while 112 have closed, with a rough total of 1,400 existing in the city. “Some of that is businesses moving out of city limits. A lot of contractors that were working on the hospital — they took out business licenses; of course, they’re gone, so we won’t be seeing those renewals,” Pratt said. Out at the Canadian Rockies International Airport, the city and partners have been in

contact with WestJet and Alaska Airlines — among others — for route analysis meetings. A parking lot and airport access road has also been repaved and come in under budget, Pratt reported. On the subject of paving, Pratt also noted that the city spent $3 million repaving city roads this past year. He noted a lot more roadwork was done this year than in years past, adding that there is now a complete catalogue detailing the state of

each road and any underlying water or sewer infrastructure. “I know in the past, a lot of the work wasn’t done because it was always, ‘Well, what if the water main breaks?’” Pratt asked. “My question is always, ‘Well, what if it doesn’t?’ “Hopefully the water mains don’t break, but if they do, we’ll fix ‘em.” On Western Financial Place, Pratt teased that there are four bigname performers lined up in the near future that should generate a lot of buzz. “We do have four

Council sheds light on Phase 3

LEDs to illuminate Cranbrook streets by end of 2015 Arne Petryshen

The City of Cranbrook is moving ahead with the third phase of LED (light emitting diode) street lighting. Initially slated to be done in three years 2014, 2015 and 2016 — city staff recommended moving the 2016 LED street lighting budget to 2015. An LED street light is an integrated light that uses light emitting diodes (LED) as its light source. LED lights are generally less power-consuming, longer lasting, and render colour more accurately The planning took longer than anticipated and so most of the 2014 funding was carried over into 2015. The first batch of LED fixture were received and installed in the first half of 2015. City council went with the city staff recommendation to approve moving the 2016 LED street lighting budget for the 2016 project — $168,500 — to the 2015 budget year. The funding for the project comes from the Municipal Infrastructure (Gas Tax) Reserve. Part of the concern lays on the falling Canadian dollar, but city staff also noted that the entire project could be completed by the end of

the year. “We developed some momentum on the project,” Charlotte Osborne, director of Finance and Computer Services, said. “The first year has been purchased and installed and gone smoothly. So now staff has a very good feel for moving ahead with this, but in order to also secure some more confirmed pricing.” And that’s where the falling dollar comes in. “The suppliers are telling us the price is going to go up,” Osborne said. Coun. Norma Blissett noted that from what she saw in the report, the sooner the city completes the installation, the sooner it can reap the benefits of the energy savings. “So we’re better off economically to go ahead as fast as possible,” Blissett said. . Coun. Tom Shypitka said the new lighting itself is a great improvement. “It’s amazing the difference in the light,” he said. “I drive down 2nd Street North a lot, right in front of Western Financial and it’s just night and day between the old yellowish dull ones and the white bright ones. And the fact that they use less energy is amazing.”

CAO Wayne Staudt said when they started the program they weren’t sure whether people would like the lights so they created the three year phase in. “But we’re really happy with the results,” Staudt said. Staudt noted the concerns about the declining value of the Canadian dollar as it would affect the pricing for the 2015 and 2016 portions of the project. In order to lock in the price, Public Works has ordered as many fixtures as the 2015 budget would allow. That included about half of lights planned fro the 2016 portion of the project. City staff wrote that depending on weather conditions and BC Hydro incentive parameters, it’s possible that they could complete both the 2015 and the 2016 components of the project before Dec. 31 of 2015. That would result in the city achieving hydro cost savings much sooner than expected. The report noted that there is no impact of bringing the LED Street Lights project funding into 2015 for other city projects. The funds come from reserves and so have no impact on current year or accumulated surplus.

other top-name performances slated, but cannot officially announce them yet as you can appreciate the ticket sales are dependent on how you announce it and bring it forward,” Pratt said. “I can tell you that there’s four top names that are on the list and will be coming here and there’s about five or six other ones that we’re working on for probably next year.” He added that the facility is getting a higher profile with more concerts as well as the potential upcoming Grand Slam of Curling in 2017. The city has also entered into discussions with the Kootenay Ice about their tenancy in the building. On putting the old Fire Hall up for sale on the market, Pratt admitted it was a tough decision, but said it was the

“I can tell you that there’s four top names that are on the list and will be coming here and there’s about five or six other ones that we’re working on for probably next year.” Mayor Lee Pratt right one. “We’ve had a couple individual parties looking at it, we haven’t had any offers on it yet, but with the amount of work that has to be done in there, I think they’re doing their due diligence to see how much it’s going to cost them before they come up with an offer,” he said. “We believe it will sell and hopefully it will be something that’s an

enhancement to downtown too.” On a few other topics, Pratt touted Council’s ability to bring the tax rate to 2.58 per cent, down from a proposed 5.77 per cent, without cutting city services — with one per cent of that being a dedicated road improvement tax. The city is also looking at extending the downtown revitalization tax bylaw to areas outside the downtown core. “We all believe that if you own a business and you want to improve it, spend some money on it, why should you not share in the same benefit that somebody downtown is?” Pratt said. Quick hits: Pratt also noted that a new family physician is in the process of selling her practice in Saskatchewan and moving to Cranbrook.

While Idlewild Lake looks unsightly and there has been much concern from the public, he preached patience and encouraged citizens to give feedback to city hall as to what the park should look like in the future. Cranbrook and Kimberley has partnered up on a tourism venture to bring in government funding for infrastructure and marketing grants. A new building inspector is in the process of being hired to help deal with some backlog at city hall. A new solar-capturing facility is being explored out at the spray irrigation fields outside of town. Discussions are ongoing with a few resource-based companies to set up shop on the old Tembec Land out by Theatre Road.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week September 13 - 19 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1902 Fall race meeting ... The Cranbrook Turf and Athletic Association will hold their fall race meeting on Monday October 27th. An excellent programme of horse races is being arranged. Posters and programmes will soon be issued giving full particulars. Local horseman are cordially invited to give their attention to the meeting, as every effort is being made to make the meeting one of the best ever held in the country. James McDonell’s mule and dog in Morrissey … Naturally the contractors, Foss & McDonell, who took up this land, might be considered the pioneers of the camp. Yet they have two competitors who cannot speak for themselves and The Miner feels prompted to say a word in their behalf. We refer to James McDonell’s big mule and big dog. Both were early on the ground and both are still here. And we would drop a suggestion to strangers, “don’t leave town until you have seen both of them”. They are classed among the sights of the new town. Closing of St. Eugene Mine Moyie … The St. Eugene mine was

closed down tight yesterday. The pump was pulled out of the shaft, the machine drills taken out of the mine and cleaned and put away and the miners were all given their time. Two men will be employed to watch the mine. Fire at Marysville ... The Marysville hotel, the old land mark in the town of Marysville, was destroyed by fire one night last week. It was a few minutes after 9 o’clock and no one had gone to bed, but so rapidly did the building burn that not one was able to save any clothing. Some few things in the bar were taken out, and that was all. The building was owned by F. Hogan of Spokane. A. Bale, the lessee of the building, has taken the Falls View Hotel. Party lines ... The movement that is now on foot in British Columbia toward placing future political contests on party lines has reached a stage where the result is no longer in doubt. The day of personal and irresponsible government in this province is passing away, and a dawn of a new era is now at hand. The Turner government, the Cotton government the Martin government and the Dunsmuir government will linger as unpleasant memories. Here after one of the two parties of the Dominion will be held responsible for legislation in British Columbia, and the results cannot but prove beneficial.

Editorial notes ... It looks as if the railroad will be built up the Kootenay valley. This will be a good thing for Fort Steele and for the whole district. Mr. Pollen has disposed of the charter to an English company that will go ahead with the work early next year. The Herald congratulates the people of the upper Kootenay for transportation will bring prosperity all along the line.

Gillis a musician? ... Morrissey Miner J. Gillis is a violinist, and the first night he played the chipmunks came out from their holes, the owls ceased hooting, the coyotes ceased howling and nature seemed pleased, but the work force in the office went on a strike and all work ceased for the night.

as one of the results of a stabbing affray in which he was mixed up this morning. According to the stories of witnesses it appears that Fitzgerald and a man named James Milne had a fight early in the morning to settle an old grudge. Fitzgerald got the worst of the fight, and finally gave up and went off to the Frank Hotel, Later it is alleged that he attacked Milne with a knife, stabbing him so viciously that recovery is considered impossible and tonight the victim is reported as being in a dying condition. His wounds are six in number, the worst one being a stab through the back, which is thought to have cut through a vital organ. Milne has been unconscious since the stabbing took place. Fitzgerald served a term in the Nelson jail a year ago, on an assault charge, He first came west in 1898 when the Crows Nest Pass line was building, working as a section foreman for some months. Since then he has been living at one or other towns along the pass. “Fitz” is well known in Cranbrook. He met Goff in the ring in this town two years ago and was prominent in pugilistic circles in Moyie a few years ago, He has been in considerable trouble, and this fracas may prove a silencer for some time.

1903 Pugilist Fitzgerald in trouble ... Jack Fitzgerald, a well-known pugilist of the Crows Nest Pass, has been arrested, and is held for trial

Matheson’s Hotel ... Peter Matheson has had plans prepared for his new three story hotel that he intends to build on Baker Street, if he secures the license. They pro-

Possibility … There is a probability of two ladies securing the store vacated by the Kootenay Furniture Company and opening a modern restaurant. The location would be first-class, and a restaurant open day and night should be a paying proposition in Cranbrook. Turn table … The new turn-table at the C. P. R. shop is rapidly nearing completion. It is one of the best in British Columbia.

vide for the usual rooms on the first floor, including office, bar, dining room, kitchen etc. The lower floor will be set back five feet, and on the front there will be a veranda. The next two stories will be give up to bed rooms and two parlors, making twenty three rooms in all. Contractor Greer is to build the hotel and work will be started as soon as the license question is settled.

Conservative meeting ... The Conservative party will formally open its campaign in this district this evening at Wentworth Hall. Hon. Chas. Wilson, K.C., president of the council, J. A. Harvey, G. H. Thompson, and Thomas Caven, the Conservative candidate will address the meeting. Dr. King, the Liberal candidate, has been invited to participate in the discussion, and will be present for that purpose.

School election ... The election of school trustee last Saturday was largely attended and unusual interest was manifested. Several names were presented but all withdrew but James Gill, and he was elected unanimously, Mr. Gill should make an efficient member of the board. He is a man with children to educate and naturally will take a great interest in the work, and what is more, he has the courage of his convictions. Cranbrook now has an excellent board, and the members will give the schools their personal attention.

YOUR CITY WORKING FOR YOU! Thursday, September 17th, 2015 PERSONAL FLUSHABLE WIPES – A SEWER SYSTEM NO-NO. They’re billed as a fresh, clean alternative to toilet paper — but waste-water utilities across Canada including here in Cranbrook say personal wipes are creating sewage clogs. Consumer Reports tested several brands of wipes labelled flushable and found that while toilet paper broke down after about eight seconds, the wipes showed no sign of disintegrating after 30 minutes in a toilet-flushing simulator. Residents may consider it an out-of-sight, outof-mind situation. People expect to flush things down the toilet and then don’t want to think about it anymore. While those personal wipes may swirl down the toilet with ease, experts say they don’t disintegrate, creating serious problems as they work their way through aging sewage systems on their way to treatment plants. If you do use these personal wipes, simply throw them in your household garbage and don’t flush them. Please don’t contribute to a growing problem.

REMINDERS... Monday October 5 – Regular Council Meeting @ 6pm Monday October 19 – Regular Council Meeting @ 6pm

‘Paws for a Cause,’ a clause without claws, Sunday, Sept. 20 East Kootenay SPCA wants Cranbrook to help combat cruelty with Paws walk

For the Townsman

Cruelty never takes a vacation. That’s why staff and volunteers at the East Kootenay BC SPCA Branch are hoping the community will rally behind this year’s Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause Walk. “We’re hoping community residents will come on out and support a great cause,” says branch manager Brenna Baker.” The BC SPCA conducted 8,849 cruelty investigations last year and Jeremy Irons, our regional animal protection officer, covers a huge area all by himself — the East and West Kootenays. Funds raised by the Paws for a Cause walk go toward areas like cruelty investigations, Baker notes, and helps cats like Nelson, who was found by the highway in Cranbrook last year, emaciated, shot several times with a pellet gun and horrible gash in his neck. While Nelson has since recovered and is happily living out the rest of his nine lives with a loving family, so many more need help, every day, Baker says. This year, the walk is happening in more than 30 B.C. communities in September and October, and Baker wants Cranbrook to be among the most supportive communities in the province. “Come and show your support! Sign up today – it’s easy online – or come on out and help us at the walk,” Baker said. “Every little bit helps animals in need. It is going to be a fantastic day for the entire family.” After the walk there

Amphicar takes the road less travelled Continued from page 1

The cars are definitely a rarity and there were only 4,000 amphicars ever built. “They say there’s only between 3-500 left that still swim — as they say in amphicar speak,” he said. He explained that the car has a four speed manual transmission for on land. Once it goes in the water a transfer case allows you to switch over and engage two propellors. “It’s just like switching into four wheel drive,” he said. The whole car was built in Germany, except for its heart, which is British. “It has lots of Mercedes components and stuff like that, and kind of a Porsche component transmission, but it has a Triumph engine in it,” he said. “It was the same one they put in the Spitfires.” So how does it drive on land? “It’s pretty rough — I mean when you’re doing 65 miles an hour in it, it feels like your doing 140, just because it’s so short and light.” In the water, he said it is quite stable. In 1968, two amphicar successfully crossed the English Channel enduring six metre waves and gale-force winds, and in 1965, two amphicars navigated the Yukon River. “They say there is only about 14 inches of the car sitting above the water line, but if you roll the windows up and put the top up you have about three feet sticking up, so it’s pretty stable in the water.” He said while he doesn’t drive the car in the winter, it is actually not a bad winter car since the engine and transmission are in the back, which puts them over the drive wheels.

Greece: All Passion Spent “We understood the responsibility to stay alive over choosing suicide,” said Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, defending his decision to end his rebellion against the European Union’s tough terms for bailing out the Greek economy. He needed to defend it, since he finally gave in to even harsher terms. Sometimes defiance at all costs is a mistake. If Tsipras really knew he was going to lose his David-and-Goliath struggle with the EU eventually, shouldn’t he have settled earlier for better terms? If he didn’t realise that, what was he doing in the prime minister’s office? So now the firebrand who turned Greek politics upside down is a bit of a zombie. Back in mid-August, when Tsipras called the snap election that will be held this Sunday, he was still basking in the after-glow of the defiant ‘No’ that Greek voters gave to austerity in his July referendum, and the opinion polls gave his Syriza party 42 percent support. At least Tsipras had stood up to the wicked Germans and their rich allies in the EU, even if it meant that the banks closed for three weeks and the economy went into a nosedive. But a lot of Greeks are having sober second thoughts. Tsipras’s quixotic battle with the EU killed what was starting to look like a modest outbreak of growth in the Greek economy, and analysts are now predicting a further decline of up to 4 percent in Greek GDP this year. Unemployment is still at 25 percent (50 percent for young people). Was it all worth it? Maybe not, and that thought may even have occurred to Alexis Tsipras by now. He was certainly very subdued in his televi-

sion debate with Vangelis Meimarakis, leader of the New Democracy Party, last Sunday, and well he might be. In the past six weeks, Tsipras’s own Syriza party has split, with 25 of its members of parliament forming a new Popular Unity party. They condemn him for accepting austerity and want Greece to quit the euro instead. They have taken a lot of Syriza’s former voters with them, so Syriza and the centre-right New Democracy party are now neck-and-neck in the polls, with less than one percentage point between them. That one percentage point matters a lot, since in Greek elections the party Gwynne that wins the most seats is then given another fifty Dyer seats as a bonus. But even if Syriza is that party, it will still be very hard to form a new government after Sunday’s election. During the last debate, Tsipras rejected Vangelis Meimarakis’s call for a broad coalition, saying that it would be “unnatural” for his party and New Democracy to be in government together. It’s hard to see what would be unnatural about it, considering the deal Tsipras signed with the EU, but he is still in denial about what he has done. Tsipras, like many, maybe most Greeks, wants to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to keep the euro, because he calculates that Greece would have to leave the European Union if it went back to its old currency, the drachma. That is not technically inevitable, but most Greeks reckon it is very likely, and they desperately want to stay in the EU. But neither Tsiras nor Greek voters want to live with perpetual austerity, which is probably the price of staying in the euro. Countries like Greece, that have run up

huge foreign debts, usually deal with the problem by devaluing their currency, but there is no way for Greece to devalue the euro. There is one way out of this dilemma, of course: get your creditors to give you “debt relief”. If they would agree to cut the amount Greece owes by half, it could probably service the remainder of its debt and still grow its economy. In fact, that’s exactly what Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) told the eurozone finance ministers last month. “I remain firmly of the view that Greece’s debt has become unsustainable,” she said. (It’s now heading for 200 percent of GDP.) So she called on the European Union to make “concrete commitments...to provide significant debt relief, well beyond what has been considered so far.” The rich eurozone countries don’t want to do that, because other highly indebted members of the EU would then demand the same relief. If they refuse to do it for Greece, however, the IMF will not take part in the 86-billion-euro bail-out of the Greek government and banks. If the IMF won’t play, several EU parliaments (notably the German) may not ratify the deal, whose final details must be settled next month. But a solution will probably be found in the end, most likely by giving Greece a very long grace period, say 30 years, during which it only has to pay the interest, not the principal, on a large part of its debt. But it’s increasingly unlikely that Alexis Tsipras will be the Greek prime minister who negotiates that deal – even though you could argue that it was really his defiance and brinkmanship that forced Greece’s creditors to consider such a deal at all.

East Kootenay: The Vanishing ‘Serengeti of North America’ F.J. Hurtak

any decades ago now, a Regional Wildlife Biologist referred to the East Kootenay as the “Serengeti of North America.” That comparison to its famous counterpart in East Central Africa, was in no doubt a direct reference to the wonderful diversity of animals (ungulates and otherwise) that we are so fortunate to have here in the Kootenay region. Big Game numbers were also quite plentiful back then. So solid in fact — and this may surprise some — that there was even a limited hunting season on caribou in these parts. Today, it’s painfully sad to see that the “Serengeti” that biologist Ray Demarchi made mention of, is rapidly disappearing. Yes, we still have the diversity aspect of the equation, but the numbers which were prevalent back then are simply not there anymore. As everyone is aware, the caribou is now on the endangered species list with less than 20 animals left in the herd closest to us in the South Selkirks. Mule deer populations are in serious decline, elk numbers have been reduced dramatically, sheep populations have been completely wiped out in some traditional areas such as Premier Ridge, and moose and mountain goats in some management units have been in decline for some time now. The obvious question which comes to mind is: How did we get here, and secondly, what can be done about it? Some will never agree to what I am about to say and suggest, but no one can argue with the reductions in ungulate numbers, especially in the last decade. It is a reality, so here are my personal thoughts and subsequent strategies on this issue. Better Predator Management In the last 20 years, we have shifted from a predator-poor to a predator-rich environment. This has created a new level of complexity for managers, and in my mind, and in many others I know, a major shift in management strategies is required. That strategy must be based on current data not ideology, or emotion. Wolves have become a significant factor in recent times, compared to “relatively insignificant” in the 1970s and 1980s. Of course the B.C. government implemented a very controversial wolf reduction plan in critical caribou habitat this past winter. They culled 84 wolves, all shot from helicopters, in an

are likely exposed to much higher levels of predation than those that remain year round in the Trench. There are some high country guide-outfitters this past season, I am told, that unwillingly achieved a zero per cent success rate on bull elk for their clients. For the most part, they are out in the woods every single day of elk season, and the industry itself, like it or not, is an excellent barometer of what is happening with our big game populations. Now, I’d be the very first person to tell anyone that I strongly believe all predators — including wolves, bears, cougars and coyotes — must always be an important part of the eco-system here in the East Kootenay. They are part of what puts the “wild” into the wilderness we all love and cherish. However, they, like anything else, need to be managed. It would be very foolish indeed to think that wildlife managers should just manage ungulates and totally leave predators out of the mix. Some people do think that though, in particular, members of the national media. The actual impact of predation is far, far different from what they portray or even comprehend for that matter.

Mule deer populations are in decline in the East Kootenay. all-out effort to try and assist caribou recovery. I believe the 10-year wolf reduction plan was entirely necessary but it cannot be just considered for caribou, it needs to be expanded to include all ungulates in targeted management units where wolves are a real threat to achieving healthy ungulate numbers. Let me just give you one example which I have used before to illustrate what an over abundance of wolves can do in any given area. In a closely monitored region near Yellowstone, a pack of 26 wolves killed over 600 elk in a 12month period, mostly for sustenance but in some documented cases, just for sport. While it may seem that way, I am not just picking on wolves, for we desperately need a better management plan that focuses directly on all predators, including bears, cougars, and coyotes. Predators just don’t kill the old and the weak as is

commonly thought — they kill the young as well. Bears in particular take a terrible toll each spring on the calving grounds. That has a dramatic effect on any prey species involved, for if there is not sufficient offspring survival rates every year, the low level of recruitment cannot support a herd. (Areas such as the Flathead, Upper Finley — Dutch Creek, Beaverfoot, and Upper Kootenay may already be in that unenviable position when it comes to elk numbers) It is undeniable that in areas where large predators do not occur (eastern Alberta, parts of Colorado and Nevada for example) that elk recruitment has remained in the 30-50 calves per 100 cows range. Historic calf ratios of 40-60 per 100 in this valley have declined in recent years to 20-30 per 100, coinciding with a major increase in wolf and bear numbers. Migratory elk that head to the mountains each summer

The Big Picture In conclusion, it would be totally unfair to blame just four-legged predators for our diminishing ungulate populations. While they are, and have been, a major factor, it is much more complex than that. Habitat loss, forest in-growth, noxious weeds, lack of a comprehensive access management plan, some of the most liberal hunting regulations in recent history, and yes, even significant advancements in technology for hunters, all have contributed to higher mortality rates on ungulate populations in the past few years. All of the aforementioned categories need and deserve to be examined, and dealt with on their own, by wildlife managers. That is, in addition to fashioning a much more aggressive approach to predator management right now and in the future. It won’t be an easy task that is for certain, but I maintain it’s high time we moved in that direction. F.J. Hurtak is the author of the books Elk Hunting in the Kootenays and Hunting the Antlered Big Game of the Kootenays. Books are available at selected retailers in BC and Southern Alberta.

Ice set to host Hurricanes in Crowsnest Pass Young forwards Connor Barley and Drew Warkentine battling to make mark as end of pre-season nears

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The last time the Kootenay Ice faced the Lethbridge Hurricanes, the outing wasn’t exactly to the liking of Luke Pierce, as his team was outworked in a 6-1 loss at Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena. For those players remaining on the Ice roster, 31 to be precise, Thursday night represents an opportunity for redemption and to display what’s been learned in the nine days and three games since their WHL pre-season opened. The Ice face the Hurricanes Thursday at 7 p.m. in the opening game of the WHL Thunder Challenge in Crowsnest Pass, Alta. “It’s going to sound like a broken record, but work ethic is number one,” said Pierce, head coach of the Ice, Wednesday afternoon prior to practice at Western Financial Place. “Beyond that, we’ve got to start seeing some thought process in the game plan. We’ve gone over a lot of structure and things like that, so we want to see who’s picking up and buying into what we’re selling them. At the end of the day, we’ll find the hardest-working guys that are going to think the most and put a team together. “Lethbridge obviously showed that they had a lot more structure in their game. They had already played and they had been together a little longer than we had. That’s to be expected. Now that excuse is out of the way and we’ve got use our structure properly. It’s going to come down to compete level for us.” With 16 forwards still on the roster, there’s plenty to be decided up front as the end of pre-season draws near. When it comes to thinking the game, Pierce has been impressed with the showings of a couple 1998s -Connor Barley and Drew Warkentine -- as they continue to compete for full-time roles with the club. “Both show potential to be real high-IQ play-

ers,” Pierce said. “They both think the game well. “Drew, in the middle especially, shows a lot of confidence and poise on both sides of the puck. Connor, his best flashes have come with some of his puck decisions and creating some offense. For both of them, they have to try and display, as best they can, what attributes they’re going to bring to our team, which is that ability to make intelligent plays.” Barley, a left-winger and native of St. Andrews, Man. -- located approximately 50 kilometres north of Winnipeg -- was a seventh-round selection of the Kootenay Ice (141st overall) at the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. The 5-foot-11, 166pound Barley has collected himself a pair of assists through three pre-season games along with the shootout-ending tally in last Thursday’s 2-1 victory over the Tri-City Americans. “I was really nervous going on the ice. I was a little shaky,” Barley said with a grin Wednesday afternoon, as he recalled his shootout opportunity. “I kind of saw an opening in the net, put it there and it managed to slip by the goalie. “I’m just trying to play my game. That’s why I’m here. The skating, the physicality -that’s what’s going to open up a spot for me, so that’s what I have to bring to the team.” Barley has a flair for the offensive, having registered 19 goals and 38 points in 43 games with

the Winnipeg Midget ‘AAA’ Thrashers during the 2014-15 campaign. Another prairie boy, Warkentine is a native of Prince Albert, having been drafted by the Ice ahead of Barley with the 89th overall selection in the fifth round of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. The 5-foot-11, 178pound forward has tallied one goal through four pre-season games and managed to get himself into a scrap with a much older dance partner -- 19-year-old Ryley Lindgren of the Hurricanes. “I’m just doing whatever [coach Pierce] wants me to go out there and do,” Warkentine said. “If it’s to get some energy in the game and go out and hit somebody, or if it’s to make a play, I do what he asks me to do.” A willing competitor, Warkentine wasn’t necessarily bargaining for a fight the last time the Ice faced the Hurricanes, but he found himself in a scrap towards the end of regulation regardless. “I really don’t know [how it happened],” Warkentine said with a smile. “I got pushed on their goalie and he got up and wasn’t too happy. It kind of just happened.” As for a re-engagement with the veteran Hurricanes forward, Warkentine isn’t so sure he’s going to be out for a rematch Thursday night in the Crowsnest Pass. The younger brother of former WHL forward Miles Warkentine, Drew posted solid numbers with the Tisdale Midget ‘AAA’ Trojans last sea-

While Warkentine knows he’s younger and has room to grow, it’s not lost on Pierce that both players have plenty of progress to make if they’re to establish themselves as full-time WHL regulars. “Both players, at times, have shown really positive flashes and they’ve shown signs of struggling,” Pierce said. “It’s trying to even out the highs and lows and find a consistency in their game.” The Ice host the Hurricanes Thursday before wrapping up the WHL pre-season Saturday night (7 p.m.) against the Calgary Hitmen in Crowsnest Pass, Alta.

FINA calls for tests of Rio’s Olympic swimming waters James Ellingworth & Andre w Dampf Associated Press

MOSCOW - Swimming’s governing body FINA has called for virus testing in water which will be used at next year’s Olympics following fears for athletes’ health. Until recently, games organizers insisted viral testing was not necessary, despite an independent five-month analysis by The Associated Press showing dangerously high levels of viruses from human sewage at all Rio Olympic water venues. The AP study showed that the spot where athletes will enter the water on Copacabana Beach for marathon swimming and triathlon events had a minimal reading of over 2 million human adenovirus per litre 2,000 times the reading that water experts in the U.S. say would be considering highly alarming if seen on beaches in the U.S. or Europe. “FINA and its Sports Medicine Committee strongly recommend that viral tests should also be performed,” says a FINA letter addressed to organizers and Rio mayor Eduardo Paes, and obtained by AP. “It is very important

for FINA that all athletes competing in the marathon swimming event in Rio 2016 Games can compete in an environment free from any bacterial or viral contamination.” FINA said it and Rio state institute INEA are “conducting tests on the

water of the Copacabana Beach in order to ensure that during Games time, the athletes will have the best conditions to compete, namely concerning their health and safety.” It was not clear which tests FINA and the INEA were conducting.

Kootenay International Junior Hockey League

Dynamiters hit Interior for three games in three days Forwards corps bolstered by return of Sawyer Hunt, addition of 18-year-old Ricky Bateman

Taylor Rocc a

Wednesday afternoon. “It’ll be a good test to see how we respond on the road. We’ve got three pretty good teams we’re going to be playing. For us, the road is where you see who people really are. It’s easy to play at the Civic Centre on a Saturday night in front of a bunch of fans.” The lineup will be bolstered by the addition of two forwards, one familiar to Nitros fans and the other a newcomer. Forward Sawyer Hunt (1997) was officially returned to the club Sunday night from the Canmore Eagles of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. The native of Nelson is expected to be available to the Dynamiters this weekend. “He had a good run over in Canmore, but at the end of the day it was just a numbers crunch

After claiming four divisional points on the opening weekend of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season, the Kimberley Dynamiters are taking the show on the road for three games in three nights through the Doug Birks Division. The Nitros open the slate with a Friday-night affair in 100 Mile House against the Wranglers, before continuing on the face the Kamloops Storm in a KIJHL championship rematch on Saturday. Finally, the Dynamiters close the threegame swing against the Sicamous Eagles Sunday afternoon. “For us, early in the season, it’s a great opportunity for the guys to get to know each other,” said Mike Reid, assistant coach and general manager of the Dynamiters,

and now he’s back with us,” Reid said. “We’re happy to have him back. He definitely brings speed to our lineup, which we don’t lack that, but it definitely is a great compliment to our lineup.” The other forward added to the roster comes in the form of Ricky Bateman (1997), a native of Fort St. John. The 5-foot-11, 180pound forward sustained a shoulder injury early in training camp and as a result, wasn’t able to show all he had to offer. Upon being cleared for contact on Monday, Bateman was added to the roster as Reid hopes to give the 18-year-old an extended opportunity to prove his worth. “He tried to play [the injury] but it just didn’t work,” Reid said. “He’s a good kid. We wanted to

make sure he got a fair shake at [making the team]. “We feel he fits into our plans…He’s older, stronger and we’re looking for a guy to fill that kind of role on our team -- to be a good, solid winger up and down the boards. We’ll give him a good chance to make the team, so he’s coming with us this weekend and hopefully he’ll fit right in.” In 26 games with the Fort St. John Huskies of the North West Junior Hockey League last season, Bateman tallied five goals and 14 points. In other roster-related news, highly-touted blue-liner George Bertoia (1998) is expected to be available after sitting out the first two games on opening weekend. The native of Taber, Alta., had his KIJHL debut delayed after

tage by bureaucracy, which is hard. But those rules are put in place to protect the game and protect the kids. We understand. We just want to get him in the lineup.” Reid is hopeful Bertoia will be cleared in time for Friday’s tilt with the Wranglers. Also expected to

make his Dynamiters’ debut on Friday is backup goaltender Mitch Traichevitch. The Dynamiters play six consecutive games on the road to round out the month of September, beginning with this weekend’s three-game tour through the Doug Birks Division.

Bertoia’s father lives in Cranbrook, so there’s no question in that regard when it comes to the 6-foot-2, 190-pound defenceman. “BC Hockey has approved him, but it has to go back to Alberta for them to approve him,” Reid said. “It’s hung up in Alberta since last Friday [Sept. 11], which is disappointing.

Grand opening for North Star Vet Clinic in Kimberley, Sept. 19 CAROLYN GRANT Bulletin Editor

Kimberley is going to have full time veterinary services again as Dr. Kathryn Arbic opens the North Star Vet Clinic in the former Steeples Vet Clinic building on Mark Street. A grand opening for the clinic is planned for this Saturday, September 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Drop by to meet the team and tour the clinic. Stay for snacks, drinks and a barbecue. Pets welcome! Dr. Arbic graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Windsor in 2009. Since then, she worked two years in a small animal (cats/dogs) practice in Guelph and then headed west, looking for a lifestyle change. She spent two years in Prince George at another small animal practice and then took a job in Cranbrook, lured by sunny days, the ski hill, mountains and lakes. But she bought a house in

Kimberley and saw an opportunity to take over the Steeples location. During the last six years, while she worked at other practices, Dr. Arbic had been dreaming and planning for the day when she could open her own clinic. Kimberley presented the opportunity. “I really think Kimberley is a great community, and I love this area, therefore when I saw the need for full time vet services here, I thought it made perfect sense to commit to staying here and getting this clinic going,” she said. “I’m really excited for what is to come. There is a lot of opportunity in this area to provide great service to the community and surrounding area.” North Star Vet Clinic will specialize in dog and cat health. Dr. Arbic will provide basic services such as spay, neuter and other surgeries, dental cleanings and oral surgery. She also sees pet

rehabilitation as a future possibility. The plan now is to see what the need of the clients are and grow from there. Animal lovers are special people and Dr. Arbic is looking forward to helping them. “The days we can make a pet’s health better, have a success story, help someone who wants to help their animal — those are the good days.” She also looks forward to community involvement — helping the SPCA, the Invermere rescue groups GALS, offering pet first aid courses and other education seminars and workshops. More appropriate than Dr. Google, she says. There is an available space on the lower level of the clinic where seminars and educational evenings could be hosted. Dr. Arbic would also be happy to rent it out to dog trainers and other pet-related events.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be aware of your limitations when dealing with someone at a distance. The two of you are not on the same page when you have distance separating you. Others around you might have the expectation that your bond is the same all the time. Tonight: Act on an odd feeling. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your feelings regarding many people seeking you out are likely to emerge. You could feel popular or annoyed, but either way you might need to make an adjustment to your schedule. Opportunities seem to pop up from out of the blue. Tonight: As you like it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself -- you have a lot of ground to cover. Open up to a swift change in someone’s mood. Be willing to jump on an opportunity that suddenly arises. You might notice that a partner starts acting differently. Find out what is going on. Tonight: Choose something just

for you! CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be disappointed by someone in the morning, but you’ll manage to soar right above it later in the day. Your imagination could be a little wild. These flights of fancy will be a fun distraction, but they also might set you up to be let down. Tonight: Out late. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Focus more on your home and personal life. A partner might be standoffish. Given some time, however, he or she will see your authenticity and come in closer once more. A conversation could take a serious tone. Step back some. Tonight: Your pad is where it’s at. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll respond from an authentic point of view, which could create somewhat of a ruckus. Be aware of what you are asking of someone. This person might have a strong reaction. Give the situation low priority if you do not want an argument. Tonight: Hang out at home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

You might not be in touch with your feelings right now. You’ll want to be appreciated by certain people, but be careful about showing off or making more of a particular happening than exists. Be realistic. Tonight: Let others make it their treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might find yourself in a comfortable spot and feel as if you have been in the very same place before. Use caution with any money agreements made today and in the next few months; they could become burdensome. Tonight: There you are, having a great time! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll sense that you are entering a challenging period. Don’t worry -- you have the wherewithal to handle what is coming. Make sure that communication keeps flowing. Don’t allow a disagreement to progress too far today or in the next few weeks. Tonight: Vanish, if you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Assess what is happening in a meeting. You might need some

supporters easing your way to continue on the path you have decided to pursue. A loved one’s compassion for you is likely to come through in a big way. Tonight: Make sure you have all your ducks in a row. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might need to fill in where others have backed off. You have the strength and the drive to do just that. You could encounter a hassle with a friend that results from a change of plans. Go with the flow, and others will relax soon enough. Tonight: Allow the leader in you to emerge. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Let your imagination flourish as you hit a problem. You’ll sleuth right through it, as long as you can get past conventional thinking. A boss could be very cold; perhaps he or she feels challenged by your abilities. Move past this person’s attitude. Tonight: Be around great music.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been seeing my boyfriend, “John,” for more than a year and love him very much. We are in our mid-20s, and while there are no plans to move in together or settle down soon, I see a future with him. The issue is that John currently lives with his older brother “Zack.” Zack has no full-time job, no prospects and no friends outside of those provided by John. Zack is shy in social situations, and covers this by being snide and sarcastic, which leads him to be girlfriend-less. My friends no longer like hanging out with John, as Zack is almost always involved. Also, John pays for everything for Zack -- rent, food, entertainment or any event we go to. I feel like John’s second girlfriend. When we go out with other friends for dinner, John will pay for Zack, but not me. And if the three of us go out, John and I split the bill 50/50. I don’t mind this occasionally, but my finances are tight and I don’t care to pay for Zack. I resent that Zack gets treated to these dinners, but I don’t. Even our romantic dates usually involve Zack, and of course, he would come on any vacation. Annie, I feel stuck. I love John and I have even learned to like Zack, but I don’t think I can handle this situation any longer. I’ve brought it up delicately many times, and John and Zack both acknowledge the need for a change, but nothing happens. I don’t feel comfortable trying to get in between brothers, but this doesn’t seem healthy. -- Third Wheel on Facebook Dear Third: John obviously feels responsible for Zack and wants to take care of him. He doesn’t feel responsible for you, since you are independent, both financially and socially. Have you asked John privately whether Zack could benefit from counseling? If he is the older brother and still has no job and no social life, he might need some coaching in life skills. He also might appreciate having someone teach him how to handle himself at a party or attract the attention of a female, and you could be of tremendous assistance there. Otherwise, any “future” you see with John means including Zack in everything. Dear Annie: If people go in together to purchase a gift, should only one of the people receive a thank-you note? I recently attended a bridal shower where four of us pooled our money to purchase an expensive gift. At the shower, we were all asked to address an envelope to make thank-you notes easier for the bride-to-be. We all did so, but I was shocked to find out that the note was sent only to “Jill,” with the rest of our names included inside. Jill phoned the rest of us to let us know. Have people really become so lazy that they can’t write a thank you to each person who gave a gift? It wasn’t Jill’s job to inform the rest of us. Shame on the bride-to-be. -- Proper Thank Yous Please Dear Proper: The bride may not have realized that a single gift from multiple people still requires individual thank-you notes. But yes, laziness undoubtedly played a part, considering that the guests had to pre-address their own envelopes.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our mother Patricia Ulatowski on Wednesday, September 9, 2015 in Cranbrook at 77 years of age. Patricia was born in Cranbrook on June 14, 1938 and will be missed by all that loved her. Patricia is survived by her daughters Gail Hopps and Susan Polson. She was predeceased by her husband Paul Ulatowski. When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in the gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long. And not with your head bowed low; Miss me a little, but let me go. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

Wallace Kennedy Hackett 1928 - 2015

On Monday, September 14, Wallace Kennedy Hackett, with his family by his side, left this earth to join his saviour, Jesus. Wally was born in Vancouver on May 20, 1928 to Margaret and Joseph Hackett, and despite falling off a bridge after running away from home on his tricycle at age three, Wally was destined to live an adventurous and surprisingly long life. Like his younger brother Peter, he had a wanderlust that sent him to live in many different places; however, Wally finally fell in love at first sight with Joanne, whom he lovingly called his own true love, and settled in her hometown of Cranbrook. In addition to his wife Joanne, he had many loves including: passing out candies to his seven grandkids (the diabetic kind, of course), watching spaghetti westerns (one after another, after another, after another . . .), creating unique words such as u-jacka-pivy (AKA a remote control), camping Wally-World style (with so many tarps it would shame a circus), and salt (the kind you sprinkle on your food, or in his case, pour). Although his love affair with food was extensive, if you dared to try substituting Miracle Whip for Best Foods on his liverwurst sandwich, he might just turn it away. His greatest gifts included the ones he passed onto his children: to his daughter Jo-Anne, he gave his sense of humour and the gift of gab; to his son Frank (whom he lovingly called Butch), he gave his talent of sharing the word of Jesus and love of camping and fishing; to his daughter Colleen, he gave his artistic creativity and drive to do things to the best of his ability; and to his daughter Lynda, he gave his loyalty to his family and his passion to stand up for what is right. Despite perfecting the art of puttering, spending countless hours embellishing his surroundings indoors and out, he would look for any excuse to celebrate in his Sunday best with a suit, tie, hankie and well-polished shoes. In lieu of flowers, please gather your loved ones, buy a quality prime rib, bake some Yorkshire pudding and a cherry pie, raise a glass of chilled red wine and say, “Chimo - to Wally.” A celebration of life will take place at McPherson Funeral Home in Cranbrook at 3:00 pm on Friday, September 18. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

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

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

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

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

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping – in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOL’s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience. Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35. 8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns. 9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sites’ advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message. Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium. SOURCE: Newspaper Association of America

Regional News

Invasive fish could put other species at risk Breanna Massey Invermere Valley Echo

The initiative to keep regional waters safe from a predator could help save the lives of many local sport fish. While the risk of a Northern Pike fish invasion in the Columbia River is substantially low, Canadian Columbia River Inter-tribal Fisheries Commission (CCRIFC) aquatic biologist Will Warnock believes the fish that are native to the Kootenay River watershed could be faced with serious problems if the species begins to spawn in Canada. “Northern Pike, we know have been present in the Koocanusa Reservoir on the American side, so there’s nothing preventing them from moving up into Canada,” explained Warnock, while explaining that a fisherman recently caught a Northern Pike in St. Mary’s River, “then moving into any areas that are accessible throughout the Kootenay River system — the same area of river flows into the Kootenay River just by Cranbrook so it’s not surprising that one would move in here.”

Northern Pike are a species of fish that are most often coloured with an olive green body and shading from yellow to white along its belly. Younger pike are frequently seen with yellow stripes along a green body, which later changes into light spots and the body turns from green to olive green. The Northern Pike is known as a relatively aggressive species that develops a tendency toward becoming cannibals. This happens around five weeks when food is scarce. Occasionally, Northern Pike will turn against smaller counterparts of their own breed to eat regularly. “They could potentially be a large problem for native fish if they are able to establish in the Kootenay watershed,” added Mr. Warnock. “They can impact native fish species, native amphibians, native invertebrates by eating them.” It remains unclear where exactly the Northern Pike are coming from or if they’re established (spawning naturally) anywhere in Canada. “What typically happens

East Kootenay anglers are asked to be on the lookout for Northern Pike and to take any they catch to their local Conservation or Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources office. with fish when they get introduced to an area is they’re not very abundant and you’ll get reports every now and then of people catching one,” he said. “But as soon as they get a foothold, you’ll start seeing a lot more of them, so we don’t know if they’ve established yet and (if) we’re

going to be seeing a lot more of them or not, but there’s a large potential that they could establish and multiply and spread their way through the Kootenay system.” Mr. Warnock explained if the Northern Pike travelled north, the species would be trapped in the Kootenay

River system unless an angler moved one into another body of water. He noted slow moving, warm water tends to attract Northern Pike. “There’s no way they could get into the Moyie or over into the Upper Columbia because the drainages aren’t connected,” he added.

“It would be the Kootenay system that we would be worried about, and likely the main stem of the river — lakes that are attached to the Kootenay River at certain times of the year — that we would be worried about. Places like Wasa Lake, and the sloughs around Wasa.” Warnock urges anglers to familiarize themselves with the appearance of Northern Pike and deliver the whole catch (or the fish head) to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources or to the Conservation Office. “They’re quite distinctive,” he concluded. “They’ve got this sort of flat. duck billlike snout on them and their dorsal fin is far back on the body. They’ve got colouration like nothing else you would see in the area so people should get to know what they look like first, but if they catch one, they should take it to their local provincial ministry office — there’s one in Invermere, Cranbrook and Fernie. Take it to either the Conservation Officer Service or Forest Lands and Natural Resources.”

The federal election on October 19th is of particular importance given that the global economy continues to show a stubborn sluggishness that is affecting Canada’s overall economic growth. It is critical that all federal parties are aware of the need for policies that focus on the fundamentals of a strong economy and the important role business, in particular small business, plays in this growth. BC Chambers of Commerce have long been the primary voice in the Province ensuring that the issues of concern to the business

It is through the integrated nature of the Chamber network that Chambers are able to work in partnership in order to positively influence the direction of government at the federal, provincial and local level to the benefit of businesses, the economy. and citizens alike. The BC Chamber of Commerce has derived the issues of importance from the BC Chamber Policy and Positions Manual. The selected areas in this package are intended to focus on issues that the Chamber believes require a greater degree of focus from the respective parties, or areas that were felt to be of specific importance to B.C.’s economic success.

Continued federal government leadership and investment in B.C.’s transportation infrastructure and network is critical to advancing and taking full economic advantage of our position as the Gateway to Asia Pacific.

Soap Box

By David D. Hull, Executive Director

Quality has a habit of quickly becoming timeless

David D. Hull

Always being one to take pride in my appearance, I did not mind ‘dressing up’ for work and, unlike most of my contemporaries, I did not wear the same basic black clip-on tie every day and, in fact, started a bit of a collection.

lug it to the car without assistance. And gawd forbid if you have to return the item. Be prepared to stand in line and patiently wait for an indeterminable time. But thank goodness it was inexpensive. Price has replaced customer service and the personal touch.

I am confident that those who do not lose track of what and who got them to where they are today will succeed

Styles changed rapidly and ties went from very wide with pictures and big patterns to crazy little leather things and then back to something in the middle in a short time span.

You only have to watch television ads to see an emerging trend. Sound business practices from the narrow leather tie days are making a comeback. From the ‘older set’, there is a quiet ‘hooray’ for the good old days, while the young ones consider these avant-garde, refreshing ideas as the best new practices. Times, they are a changin’ – back. A current advertisement for a communications company is premised that when you call them, you talk to a real live person. You will not be forced into a vortex of endless choices and electronic voices only to have the recognition software send you to the wrong department. I am sure the young ones think what a novel new idea; phone a company and talk to a real live person. Customer service is making a comeback. Over the last number of years, customer service has been the mainstay and defining difference between the smaller and mostly independents, and big / corporate businesses.

However, some larger companies and corporations are currently having a nostalgic flash back to legwarmers, bell bottoms, and customer service. Banks are not even doing banker’s hours anymore. Banks are expanding their hours to meet the demand of their customers and advertising. They are open longer hours and will even come to your house, on your schedule, to discuss a mortgage. You mean I don’t have to take a day off work to give you my business? Crazy talk, I say! Large companies are gleaning remarkable success by implementing what has been the cornerstone of smaller and specialty businesses for endless decades. They are looking at the foundations of their business from years gone by, and are taking the good solid bits and repatriating them with the best of current practices. A hybrid has emerged with modern

Report

September 2015 at The Chamber

Dave Struthers

As the calendar page flips over to September, it’s looking like a very busy fall. The Chamber has a number of events and activities planned, beginning with this week’s special general luncheon where Mayor Pratt will provide the annual “state of the City” address and share council’s vision for the future of Cranbrook. The luncheon will also include a special general meeting where we’ll be asking members to adopt the newly revised bylaws that will govern the Chamber’s operations going forward.

Later this month, on September 22, the Chamber will host another Good Morning Cranbrook seminar, featuring a presentation on the solutions that Consumer Protection BC offers to citizens throughout the province. And on October 1, the Chamber and Cap-it Cranbrook will co-host a “Business After Hours” event at Cap-it’s business location. Please take advantage of these excellent

opportunities to network and interact with others in the business community. You can learn more about these events and register to attend by visiting the recently enhanced Chamber web site, www. cranbrookchamber.com

October 1, the Chamber and Cap-it Cranbrook will co-host a “Business After Hours” event at Cap-it’s business location.

With the Federal election now only weeks away, it’s important to remind everyone that the Chamber of Commerce is an apolitical organization. We will not be supporting or promoting any specific candidate

or political party. However, we will be hosting an all-candidates forum on October 7, where we’ll encourage candidates to discuss the specific actions and initiatives they would undertake to enhance business development and economic growth in Cranbrook and area. Please register to attend this important event, and most importantly, please ensure that you vote on October 19!

On a final note, I would like to thank all the dedicated Chamber volunteers who once again worked countless hours throughout the summer staffing our Visitor Information Centres. All residents of Cranbrook owe a debt of gratitude to these fine women and men, who are such excellent ambassadors for our fair City.

Thank you!

Canada’s ‘most notorious bank robber’ arrested in Geneva C A N A D I A N PR E S S

GENEVA - A man police have described as Canada’s most notorious bank robber known for his technique of jumping over bank counters during his heists - has been arrested in Geneva. The 53-year-old suspect — nicknamed “The Vaulter” — was intercepted by plainclothes police while he was driving a compact car on a Geneva street on Tuesday, and taken into custody without incident, Swiss police said Wednesday. The French-American citizen — whose name has yet to be released — had been sought under an international arrest warrant issued by Canada in connection with 22 bank robberies over the last five years. The Canadian Bankers Association had offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

A 53-year-old suspect — nicknamed “The Vaulter” — was intercepted by plainclothes police while he was driving a compact car on a Geneva street on Tuesday Geneva police spokesman JeanPhilippe Brandt said the man is being held pending extradition procedures. Canadian police said the robber first struck in York Region north of Toronto in February 2010 and since then hit banks in Mississauga, Hamilton, Vaughan, Toronto and Ottawa, as

well as some in Calgary. A spokesman with York Regional Police said the man would only be formally charged once he was extradited to Canada. Those charges are expected to be robbery and firearms related, Const. Andy Pattenden said. “We’ve described him as Canada’s most

notorious bank robber,” said Pattenden. “It’s been an ongoing very lengthy investigation involving numerous police services.” Police had warned that the man was considered armed and dangerous, and described him as athletic — jumping over bank counters like a hurdler while holding a handgun. Police also said the man worked alone and was believed to carry a police scanner and scout locations well before striking and then leaving the area. The Canadian Bankers Association acknowledged the arrest but said it would determine whether to issue its reward only after a conviction. “It’s obviously terrific to have him off the streets,” said spokesman Malcolm Chivers. “If this is The Vaulter, he was a serial robber. It was a great concern to everyone.”

MOSCOW - Two Russian pranksters say they fooled Elton John into believing that Russian President Vladimir Putin had given him a call. The British star on Tuesday posted a message on Instagram, thanking Putin for calling him to discuss gay rights in Russia and inviting him for a meeting in Moscow. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied the reports, saying that Putin never called John. ASSOCIATED PRESS

Russian pranksters call Elton John, impersonate Putin Vladimir “Vovan” Krasnov and Alexei “Lexus” Stolyarov told Russian daily Komsomolskaya Pravda on Wednesday that they had fooled Elton John by calling him on Tuesday and pretending they were Peskov and Putin.

Air pollution kills 3.3 million a year, much of it traced to farms SETH BORENSTEIN Associated Press

WASHINGTON - Air pollution is killing 3.3 million people a year worldwide, according to a new study that includes this surprise: Farming plays a large role in smog and soot deaths in industrial na-

tions. Scientists in Germany, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia and Harvard University calculated the most detailed estimates yet of the toll of air pollution, looking at what caused it. The study also projects that if trends don’t change, the yearly death

What is Grape Seed Extract? By: Dr. Chris Ford BMSc, ND

Grape seed extract (Vitis vinifera) contains compounds known as proanthocyanidins as well as vitamin E, flavonoids and linoleic acid which act in the body as potent anti-oxidants and have many therapeutic benefits. Anti-oxidants are able to scavenge free radicals in the body that damage cells and create inflammation. Grape seed extract is often confused with Grapefruit seed extract as both may be abbreviated as GSE, but grapefruit seed is used mostly as an anti-microbial and should not be used long term. Grape seed extract on the other hand may be used long term as it can help reduce inflammation and LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol known to be associated with atherosclerosis. Grape seed has also been shown to protect normal cells during certain chemotherapies and can be toxic to cancer cells therefore increasing the effect of the cancer treatment while reducing side effects. The anti-oxidant properties of grape seed can also help to reduce the symptoms of both asthma and seasonal allergies.

Gallery Wine & Cheese Reception October 1 6 - 9 pm

Join us for this dynamic exhibit of iconic photographic images that captured the greatest era of rock ‘n roll history.

Grape seed supplements come in many different forms and it is important to get a high quality product that has been standardized to the proanthocyanidins and contains a high enough dose to achieve a therapeutic benefit. For more information on grape seed extract or any other nutritional supplements please feel free to contact us.

Government will work with stakeholders to ensure the most signiﬁcant impact possible. See http://ow.ly/RHqWP for more information.

total will double to about 6.6 million a year by 2050. The study, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, used health statistics and computer models. About three quarters of the deaths are from strokes and heart attacks, said lead author Jos Lelieveld at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany. The findings are similar to other less detailed pollution death estimates, outside experts said. “About 6 per cent of all global deaths each occur prematurely due to exposure to ambient air pollution. This number is higher than most experts would have expected, say, 10 years ago,” said Jason West, a University of North Carolina environmental sciences professor who wasn’t part of the study but praised it. With nearly 1.4 million deaths a year, China has the most air pollution fatalities, followed by India with 645,000 and Pakistan with 110,000. The United States, with 54,905 deaths in 2010 from soot and smog, ranks seventh highest for air pollution deaths. What’s unusual is that the study says that agriculture caused 16,221 of those deaths, second only to 16,929 deaths blamed on power plants. In the U.S. Northeast, all of Europe, Russia, Japan and South Korea, agriculture is the No. 1 cause of the soot and smog deaths, according to the study. Worldwide, agriculture is the No. 2 cause with 664,100 deaths, behind the more than 1 million deaths from in-home heating and cooking done with wood and other biofuels in developing world. The problem with farms is ammonia from fertilizer and animal waste, Lelieveld said. That ammonia then combines with sulfates from coal-fired power plants and nitrates from car exhaust to form the soot particles that are the big air pollution killers, he said. In London, for example, the pollution from traffic takes time to be converted into soot, and then it is mixed with ammonia and transported downwind to the next city, he said.

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!

Air Canada pilot diverts Tel Aviv-to-Toronto flight to ensure dog’s safety C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Air Canada says one of its pilots diverted an international flight to ensure a dog

bound to Toronto from Tel Aviv. En route, however, the unidentified pilot got an indicator that one

of the heaters in the cargo hold had malfunctioned. Air Canada rules state that minimum am-

er than that as the plane flew over the Atlantic Ocean and realized that the dog might not survive. Fitzpatrick says the pilot diverted the plane to Frankfurt, transferred the dog to another plane, and made it to Toronto only 75 minutes behind schedule. “While we recognize this was an inconvenience for our customers, the overall reaction was positive, particularly once people understood the dog was in potential danger but safe as a result of the diversion,” Fitzpatrick said in an email. Dog and owner were reunited at Pearson International Airport, where the unnamed dog lover told a local TV station that Simba was like his child.

DENVER - An accounting error in Colorado is paying off for marijuana consumers Wednesday, when a quirk in a state tax law prompts the state to suspend most taxes on recreational pot. The one-day pot tax holiday means Colorado won’t collect 10 per cent sales taxes on pot. The state is also suspending a 15 per cent excise tax on marijuana growers. The tax break is happening because Colorado underestimated overall state tax collections last year. Under the state constitution, the accounting error triggers an automatic suspension of any new taxes - in this case, the recreational marijuana taxes voters approved in 2013. Retailers are hoping for big crowds, rolling out bargains to attract shoppers. The state had no estimate on how many shoppers might turn out. The taxes revert to 25 per cent on Thursday. Wednesday’s break comes a day after Colorado made final its accounts for the fiscal year that ended in June.
