No bus service

No school bus service up Sheep Creek Road is a safety issue, Mom says C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

School districts adjust bus schedules to demographics, sometimes combining two routes into one. That is exactly what happened this year in School District No. 6 when the decision was made to combine the Skookumchuk and Wasa bus runs. “One bus can provide the service for all eligible riders in that area (it used to be two)” said District Superintendent Paul Carriere. “Specifically, the bus that used to go right up to Skookumchuk now picks up the students at Moan Road near the Wasa turnoff. This decision affects one family (two children). That family now must transport their children to the Moan Road stop to catch the bus for school.” Ultimately, Carriere says, the Board Policy #3600 which reviews all bus routes annually, does not support the expense of providing bus service unless there are enough students in an area to warrant expending those resources. However, the mother of the two children affected begs to differ. For her, it is a safety issue. Lori Stober, husband Ron and their two children Hailey, 14, and Jon, 16 moved to Sheep Creek eight years ago. At that time, Lori says it was a big deal to them that a bus came up the road so her kids only had to walk 200 meters to meet it. At that time there were seven kids catching the bus. Now it’s down to two. The new bus stop is 20 km away just past Wasa, near the rest stop. See BUS, page 3

Artists’ Retreat with Joseph Cross. Ten artists from Kimberley, Cranbrook, Castlegar and Kelowna participated in a four day artists’ retreat with local senior artist, Joseph Cross, at the Bull River Guest Ranch this past week, September 15-18. The painters spent their time exploring the creative process of picture making: finding inspiration, embracing a creative mind set and handling a variety of media. The attendees were reminded that creative play and painterly intuition are of the utmost importance in the development of their art work. (Thanks to the Kimberley Arts Council, the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance and Elaine Rudser-Event Planner.). Above, Joseph Cross gives some painterly advice to Elaine Rudser.

Local debates begin this week From Page 1 While it may have been a controversial subject earlier in the summer, debates have been scheduled in area, and all candidates have confirmed their attendance at some of them. The Chamber debate in Cranbrook—the first forum that was officially scheduled for Oct. 7—will focus on the economy and address issues that affect business locally, provincially and nationally, according to David D. Hull, the executive director of the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce. Breaking down the subjects, the discussion will focus on access to a powerful workforce,

capital, technology and innovation and markets. Roughly 20 questions will be submitted in advance to each candidate to allow for time to research any background and consult with party platforms. There will also be a chance for the audience to submit written questions which will be presented to the candidates over the course of the forum. The event will start with opening remarks chosen randomly from all four candidates and will end with closing statements in reverse order from how it started. An interesting element to the event includes the use of rebut-

tal cards. Each candidate will be issued five 30-second rebuttal cards to use as they see fit. Kimberley’s Chamber-sponsored debate will be hosted by Centre 64 on Sept. 30. This debate has no limit on subject matter, though questions are being pre-screened through the Chamber. However, the first debate coming up is the First Nations forum tonight, at the Ktunaxa Nation gymnasium. Moderated by Joe Pierre, the candidates will discuss and debate First Nations issues. Also on the debate itinerary is a JCI event on Oct. 6th at the Key City Theatre.

Bus service worries Mom From page 1 “There was word of our bus route changing at the end of last year but we received no notice of this, and our bus route stayed the same right until the end of the school year,” Lori said. “At the start of this year I had heard rumours from our neighbour that our bus was cancelled. The day before school started I had to call and email the school board to find out when and where we were to drop off and pick up our kids, we took for granted that the bus route was still in place since we received no notice of the changes. “Even when there was word of the bus route possibly changing we never thought they would move the bus so far down the road, we also thought that maybe it would be at the Premier Lake turn at the

farthest.” Safety is the issue, she says. “My son is in volleyball, so sometimes my daughter will be getting off the bus alone, left on the side of a busy highway. What if there is an accident on the road or for some other reason we can’t get to the stop in time. With the old route, the kids could walk home. They would have to walk 20 kilometres up the highway to get home now. I think a bus stop should never exceed a distance too far for kids to walk home safely. “Safety is a big issue for me. Last year, our bridge at the Kootenay River was closed for two days because of a flood. What would happen if it was -35 and our kids were dropped off on the side of the highway and we couldn’t get there. They would freeze. “Not to mention the

recent attack on the dad and his little girl in Blairmore. It’s a reminder that there are crazy people everywhere and our kids should never be left vulnerable on the side of a road, there are too many uncertainties.... it only takes two seconds to abduct a kid. “This whole idea of saving a few bucks by cutting a bus route. I don’t think it’s worth the safety of our kids.” Carriere said that there is a per kilometre transportation assistance subsidy where no bus service is available. “There are a significant number of families who are receiving transportation assistance across the School District, where the Policy dictates that bus service should not be provided because of the small number of students who would be served,” he said.

The teachers of Lindsay Park were barbecuing up a storm at our Open House and barbecue. A great turn out and everyone enjoyed a hamburger and some watermelon followed by a visit to their child’s classroom and then the Scholastic Book Fair in the gym. A big thank you to the Lindsay Park PAC who organized the BBQ, provided the supplies and sliced a lot of watermelon. Thank you also to all the families who came out to show their support.

Local NEWS BC flexes its mussels

Famed choir to perform

For the Bulletin

Anyone that has been following the news in BC this summer is well aware that many organizations are taking a proactive stance to prevent the introduction of invasive mussels into our province. There is new provincial and federal legislation that prohibits the transportation of non-native mussels into BC, and roving crews are thoroughly inspecting watercraft for any sign of the tiny molluscs. Zebra and quagga mussels are threatening our pristine waterways with the potential to encrust all hard substrates –rocks, docks, boats, water intakes- to alter the aquatic ecosystem, degrade our beautiful lakes, and cost a lot of money to manage if they become introduced. With mussels firmly established in the Southern US and Eastern North America, the threat gets closer every year. Mussels were confirmed in Lake Winnipeg last summer, and are transported towards BC on boats that pick them up in contaminated lakes. Fortunately, British Columbian lakes have several lines of defence and surveillance with our neighbouring jurisdictions that regularly patrol for rogue boats and their unwanted passengers. A contaminated boat was stopped in Kelowna in July, and a there have been a few other near misses in the past. What you may not have heard about recently was a

On August 18th a boat was spotted in Montana that was travelling from Wisconsin (a “dirty” jurisdiction) to Koocanusa reservoir for a wakesurf event. The US inspectors quickly alerted their counterparts in BC: the Conservation Officer Service (COS) and Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA). When the driver arrived at the Eureka/ Roosville border, he was denied entry into Canada. Inspector Caravetta with the BC Conservation Officer Service advises “it is THAT serious”! A Montana crew seized the boat and decontaminated it with hot water under high pressure to kill and remove the tenacious mussels. Conservation Officers in BC also have the authority to seize boats for the decontam-

ination and quarantine process. Let this close call be a reminder to us about how diligent we must be when travelling between waterbodies. It only takes one contaminated boat to infest a lake, and there is no effective solution to remove the mussels once introduced. Measures would be taken to quarantine a lake and prevent further spread, which would have huge implications on recreation, tourism, and the economy. If you move your boat, ensure that you Clean, Drain, and Dry the watercraft before launching in another waterway.

Want to know how to Make God Laugh? Submit ted

There’s no place like home for the holidays. Families gather to feast, laugh, visit and enjoy each others company. In a perfect world everyone gets along and things run as smoothly as an old episode of the Waltons. But…In the real world, life doesn’t always work out that way. This October 9th the Cranbrook Community Theatre launches its Family-themed season with the comedy, Making God Laugh by Sean Grennan. Directed by Trevor Lundy, the play follows empty nesters Ruthie and Bill and their grown children through the course of more than three decades of family gatherings. Overbearing and manipulative Ruthie, played beautifully by veteran performer Melodie Hull manages each holiday with precision, making sure all of the

family traditions are adhered to. Bill, her long suffering and patient spouse is played with aplomb by newcomer Michael Prestwich. Together they decorate and prep for the gatherings, awkwardly attempting to understand and to parent their grown children. At times madcap with lots of nostalgic humor thrown in, Making God Laugh looks back on the trends of the 80’s, 90’s and into the new millennium, through the antics of the three adult children, Richard (played by David Booth), Thomas (played by Woody Maguire) and Maddie (played by Gina Martin). They show up to each event resplendent in the fads of the day, sharing big dreams and lofty goals with the family. And as the decades pass the show’s title begins to make sense. As the saying goes, if you want to make God

laugh, you tell Him your plans. Life doesn’t always turn out the way they hope, and as each holiday comes and goes the audience gets a clearer understanding of the relationships between the characters. Funny, moving and madcap at times, Making God Laugh is certain to entertain. Featuring a cast made up entirely of talent new to the Cran-

brook Community Theatre, with the notable exception of Melodie Hull, Making God Laugh brings a fresh and new energy to this first performance of the new season. The show runs Oct. 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24 at the Studio/ Stage Door, Showtime 8 pm. Tickets are available at Lotus Books or at the door.

Week of Sept. 20-26

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

1902 Corset wearer … The editor of the Rossland Miner is kicking against the latest fashion edict that decrees that a change is to be made in the shape of the corset. What is the use of kicking? If you wear a corset, old man, you must wear the kind fashion dictates. Skinned by a chinaman ... “Joe,” a celestial with honest eves and a smooth tongue, who could talk good pigeon English, has left town and several have good cause to regret their confidence in the “poor Chinaman.” Joe was a natural born liar, and lucky in the extreme. When it suited his pur-

pose he could “no sabe” to perfection and when it came the other way he could “sabe” anything. He accumulated a good bunch of debts, and then borrowed money from several of his countrymen, and with a smile that was child-like and bland faded from sight. There is weeping and wailing among the pigtails now, and the best Chinaman in the colony, couldn’t borrow money from another to buy a cake of laundry soap. Narrow escape ... Last Saturday little Graham King came near drowning. A barrel had been placed near the back steps to catch rain water and the recent rains had nearly filled it. Little Graham was playing on the steps and, it is supposed, tried to look into the barrel. The nurse girl in passing a rear window looked out and saw him head first in the

barrel. She screamed in her fright and Mrs. King realizing what had happened hurried out and rescued the boy. It was just in time, for already he was purple in the face. Mrs. King resorted to active measures and by rolling him violently soon had him on the road to recovery and in a little while he was all right. It was a narrow escape and a great shock to the mother. New kind of bird dog ... Last Tuesday E, J. Peltier and Chas Armstrong went up to the lakes on St. Marys prairie shooting. They had borrowed a well-bred bird dog to get their ducks, but when they had dropped a number the dog refused to go after them. This, of course, placed them in a dilemma, but Mr. Peltier was equal to the occasion. Throwing off his clothes, he took Mr. Armstrong’s horse and started for

the center of the lake. Hanging onto the horse’s mane, he made the animal swim from duck to duck, and in this way gathered in all the game they had shot. It was a novel scheme, and one that very few would have resorted to. Coming up … The Fall race meeting of the Cranbrook Turf and Athletic Association to be held on October 27, promises to be one of great interest. There will be among other events a “free for all trot”, an event which should attract much attention as everyone in the district who owns a trotter will enter. Anything with four legs can be entered for this race, even a clothes horse. Tom Wellman is making preparations to enter some of his wellknown horses in the different running events.

Fahrentehrten auf der autobahn You know who I wouldn’t want to be this week? Martin Winterkorn. Who is that, you ask? Mr. Winterkorn is the CEO of Volkswagen. It seems the company that produces Das Auto has tampered with das emissions tests. Back in the 1990s, Volkswagen came up with a nifty ad campaign using the word Fahrvergnugen. “Fahrvergnügen” means “driving enjoyment” in English (from fahren, “to drive,” and vergnügen, “enjoyment”). One of the tag lines incorporating the word was: “Fahrvergnügen: It’s what makes a car a Volkswagen”. But now it seems that another thing that makes a car a Volkswagen is adding software that allows cars to ace emissions tests, when in reality the cars had nowhere near the same readings under normal use. In some cases, the vehicles would be emitting as much as 40 times the allowable pollution limit, despite having passed official emissions tests with flying colours. Perhaps the next ad campaign can utilize the word “Fahrbetrügen,” which translates to “driving cheat”. In any event, it’s not a good week to be chair of Volkswagen. Mr. Winterkorn has had to face the press and say that he is “endlessly sorry.” I bet he is. According to several news sources, Mr. Winterkorn was just about to sign a new two-year contract to continue as

CEO before the scandal broke. D’oh! Now rumour has it that the guy from Porsche, Matthias Mueller, will take over the driver’s seat, while poor old Martin drives off into the sunset. “Fahrentehrten.” “Driving disgraced“. Speaking of driving, the clown car carrying the Republican candidates for President of the United States is down a couple of clowns, as Scott Walker has thrown in the towel and dropped out of the race. As one pithy observer on the web noted, ‘now he can return to Wisconsin and concentrate on ruining just one state’. Carolyn Walker of Grant course, gained recent notoriety for suggesting a wall should be built on the Canadian border to keep illegal immigrants out of the States. I’m sure they will miss such a quality candidate. Also recently dropping out of the race was Texas governor Rick Perry, whose sole platform seemed to be ‘these dark-rimmed glasses make me look smarter’. Which they did not, as he proved every time he opened his mouth. The U.S. presidential race so far — FahrDorf Idioten. Driving a village of idiots. But up here in Canada, we have a definite

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

three way race. a drei-wege-rennen. I’ll leave it to you whether you want to carry on with the fahren. In any event, Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair are locked in a pretty tight race, and so far the Canadian public is treating it all with a collective yawn. It could be that compared with the colourful characters running in the U.S., our lot is just not exciting enough. Though their political philosophies are quite different, not one of the Canadian party leaders has called immigrants ‘rapists’ or touted a foreign affairs policy consisting of ‘it’s China’s fault’. No one has said a Muslim could not be Prime Minister, or that women should not be allowed to serve in combat because of ‘the emotions involved’ or ‘liberals are to blame for California’s drought’. With expectations of those kind of crazy utterances, audiences for the Republican debates have been huge. Or ‘yooge’ as candidate Trump would say. In Canada, more people watched an episode of Masterchef than the first leaders’ debate. Forget Fahrvergnugen. To the average Canadian, this federal election campaign has been Fahren mit langeweile. Driving with boredom. C’mon. Someone say something stupid. Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Daily Bulletin

WHL Season Preview: Part I - East Division With the help of beat reporters around the league, the Townsman provides a look at the WHL’s 50th anniversary season Brandon Wheat Kings Perry Bergson Brandon Sun

Last season: 53-11-4-4, First in the WHL. Lost to Kelowna in WHL final. Head coach/GM: Kelly McCrimmon (13th season). Assistant coaches: Darren Ritchie (ninth season), David Anning (fourth season), Matt Cockell (goalie coach, seventh season). Key losses: Former captain Peter Quenneville, (27g, 48a in regular season); fiveyear veteran D Eric Roy (45 points in 66 games; D Reid Gow (17 points in 50 games); F Morgan Klimchuk (50 points in 33 games with Brandon), who is expected to play pro at 20; D Ryan Pilon, 19, who left the team in training camp. The 20-year-olds: The WHL’s third-leading scorer last season, F Tim McGauley, D Macoy Erkamps, D Colton Waltz, F Quintin Lisoway and Latvian F Rihards Bukarts. The imports: It’s complicated. D Ivan Provorov, 18, of Russia returns if the Philadelphia Flyers don’t keep him; The Calgary Flames may send D Oliver Kylington, 18, of Sweden, to Brandon. F Dario Winkler, 18, of Austria, and Bukarts are seeking a spot. Key returnees: Forwards Mc-

REGINA PATS

Greg Harder Regina Leader-Post

Last season: 37-24-5-6, second in East Division, lost in second round. Head coach-GM: John Paddock (second season). Assistant coach-assistant GM: Dave Struch (10th season in WHL, second with Pats). Assistant coaches: Brad Herauf (first), Rob Muntain (goalies, fifth). Key losses: LW Braden Christoffer, RW Pavel Padakin and C Patrick D’Amico (all graduated). The 20-year-olds: D Colby Williams, LW Taylor Cooper, LW Aaron Macklin and G Daniel Wapple. The imports: Two Russian D-men - sophomore Sergey Zborovskiy and rookie Nikolai Knyzhov. Key returnees: Wapple’s status as a top-flight starter will be taxed behind one of the WHL’s youngest lineups ... His saving grace is a relatively battle-tested defence led by three NHL draft picks: Williams, Zborovskiy and Connor Hobbs … Up front, linemates Austin Wagner and Adam Brooks - a breakout combo in 2014-15 – need to maintain their recent trajectory … Brooks provides a strong onetwo punch up the middle with Sam Steel, an up-and-coming star … Coo-

Gauley, Jayce Hawryluk, 19, John Quenneville, 19, and Nolan Patrick, 17, will pace an attack that led the WHL last season with 340 goals. G Jordan Papirny played 78 games including playoffs; his save percentage rose from .910 to .921 in the playoffs. New faces: 2014 No. 1 overall pick, F Stelio Mattheos, 16, is set to play fulltime after getting into 10 regular-season and playoff games last season. Watch for: Provorov and highly touted D Kale Clague, 17, played together in two pre-season games and were dynamic. Braylon Shmyr, Reid Duke, Tyler Coulter and Tanner Kaspick could make offensive gains. Noteworthy: Brandon could lose four of its top eight scorers and could still be one of the league’s top offensive teams. They return up to 10 players who had 10 goals or more. Did you know: Since missing the playoffs four times from 1988-92, the Wheat Kings have since had an early exit only twice. The prognosis: The Wheat Kings were built to win this season. With a potent offence and a top goaltender, the team has the talent to win a second straight East Division pennant and contend for the title.

per is a vital wing man given the team’s lack of veteran scoring punch. New faces: RW Lane Zablocki, 17, joined a cast of promising rookies this summer when he was acquired from Prince George for LW Jesse Gabrielle … Power forward Aaron Macklin, 20, was picked up Monday from Prince George for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2016 … Undrafted LW Riley Woods, 17, spurned NCAA offers to stay home in Regina, where he was a star last season with the midget AAA Pat Canadians. Watch for: The Pats’ inexperience to show without Cooper and Williams, both of whom could miss significant time due to injuries. Noteworthy: Regina had a league-high five players selected in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft: Zborovskiy (third round), Gabrielle (fourth), Wagner (fourth), Hobbs (fifth) and Williams (sixth). Brooks received a free-agent tryout with the New York Rangers. Did you know: Without Cooper and Williams, Regina is down to just two of its top eight scorers from last season: Brooks and Steel. The prognosis: The Pats have talent but lack experience, which suggests they should finish better than they start. If the team can keep head above water early, a playoffs spot is realistic.

SWIFT CURRENT BRONCOS Taylor Rocc a Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Last season: 34-33-1-4, third in East Division, eliminated in four games by Regina Pats in first round of playoffs Head coach: Mark Lamb (seventh season as coach/GM) Assistant coaches: Jamie Heward (fourth season), Ryan Smith (first season) Key losses: C/LW Colby Cave (35G, 40A) and LW Coda Gordon (25G, 36A) age out, C Jay Merkley (17G, 23A) opts for CIS over 20-year-old campaign, D Dillon Heatherington (Columbus Blue Jackets) and D Brett Lernout (Montreal Canadiens) expected to turn pro. The 20-year-olds: G Landon Bow, D Griffin Foulk, C Scott Feser The imports: Swedish RW Andreas Schumacher (8G, 9A), 18, returns. Russian D Artyom Minulin, 16, selected 29th overall

MOOSE JAW WARRIORS Matthe w Gourlie Moose Jaw Times-Herald

Last season: 32-35-4-1, fourth in East Division, missed playoffs. Head coach: Tim Hunter (second season). Assistant coaches: Mark O’Leary (fourth season), Jamie Hodson (goaltending, fifth). Key losses: Departing forwards Jack Rodewald (35G), Tanner Eberle (33G), Axel Blomqvist (11G) and Jaimen Yakubowski (9G) accounted for 39.8 per cent of the Warriors goals a year ago. The 20-year-olds: RW Torrin White. D Spenser Jensen opted to play CIS and the Warriors are looking to fill final spots via trade. The imports: Czech C Jiri Smejkal looking to build on strong second half of his rookie season

at 2015 CHL Import Draft. Key returnees: After hearing their names called at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, LW Jake DeBrusk (42G, 39A; Boston Bruins – first round, 14th) and C Glenn Gawdin (15G, 39A; St. Louis Blues

– fourth round, 116th) will lead offense. Bow (31-27-1-4, seven shutouts) guards the goal. D Max Lajoie (7G, 33A) steps up after strong rookie season. New faces: RW Calvin Spencer (5G, 8A) acquired from Seattle Thunderbirds and finish second in pre-season team scoring (2G, 3A). LW Tyler Adams, 18, should make the jump. D Kade Jensen, 18, provides a big body (6-foot-3, (9G, 13A). RW Nikita Popugaev missed the start of camp, but the 6-foot-4 Russian rookie comes in with lofty expectations. Key returnees: C Brayden

Point (38G, 49A, 60GP) is arguably the most valuable player to his team. C Brett Howden (22G, 24A) captained Canada’s U18s to a gold this summer. G Zach Sawchenko (.896 SV%, 3.32 GAA) is expected to be a leader in his third season. New faces: D Josh Brook (fourth, 2014 bantam draft) looks to step in. RW Ryan Bowen had

200 pounds) after acquisition from Lethbridge Hurricanes. Watch for: Lajoie, 6-foot-1 and 183 pounds, is considered a top prospect eligible for the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Noteworthy: Bow was a workhorse in 2014-15, playing 66 games while facing the most shots (2,114), making the most saves (1,925) and registering the most shutouts (seven) amongst WHL goaltenders. Did you know: The undrafted Bow’s 2014-15 campaign earned him an invite to Anaheim Ducks rookie camp, which he turned into a main camp invite before being assigned to the WHL Tuesday. The prognosis: With elite goaltending and top-end offensive talent, Broncos should once again be playoff bound, albeit behind the likes of the Wheat Kings and Pats. Top-tier penalty kill (eighth, 81.2 per cent) will be hurt by loss of Heatherington.

28 points in 53 games in junior A last season. Watch for: Balanced scoring. Five of the Warriors’ nine returning forwards enter second season and looking to step up. Noteworthy: Warriors added size to their forward group. Two seasons ago they only had one forward 6-foot-2 or taller. They start this season with six. Did you know: The Warriors have four Americans on the team this season — D Tyler Brown, C Landon Quinney, RW Brayden Watts and RW Blake Bargar — the most in franchise history. The prognosis: Won eight of final 12 games to nearly make the playoffs last year. Seventeen returning players and improved depth should end their threeyear playoff drought.

Sports unveils all-time KEYSA U-11 girls claim silver in Revelstoke WHL greatest players Cranbrook natives & Ice alumni named Taylor Rocc a

Photo Submitted

The KEYSA U-11 team is, back row (L to R): Head coach Jason Wheeldon, manager Marcie Peters; second from back (L to R): Naomi Hall, Cheyenne Peters, Piper Whelan, Caetlyn Gray, Courtney Wheeldon; front row, (L to R): Avery Hall, Layne Birmingham, Jessica Hansen, Amy Brooks-White, keeper Abby Lalach. For The Townsman

Cranbrook’s KEYSA U-11 girls soccer team travelled to Revelstoke last weekend for the Little Bears Soccer Tourney, returning home following a silver-medal

performance. In round-robin play, the KEYSA team -- coached by Jason Wheeldon and Marcie Peters -tied Revelstoke in a hard-fought 3-3 contest, before defeating Golden 8-0 on the strength of

well-executed plays. In the final outing of the weekend, KEYSA was stymied by stuff Shuswap defence, settling for a silver medal. This is the second medal performance of the year for the team.

With the Western Hockey League’s 50th anniversary season drawing near, the league used Tuesday to unveil its list of the top 125 players in WHL history, featuring four Kootenay Ice alumni and three Cranbrook natives. Cranbrook natives Ray Allison, Don Murdoch and Scott Niedermayer were recognized by a committee of WHL experts, along with Ice alumni Nigel Dawes, Cody Eakin, Sam Reinhart and Jarret Stoll. “It’s a huge honour. I think it shows that not only have we had team success, but we’ve had individual success,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice. “These players have been recognized for their achievements while playing for our hockey club. It speaks volumes about our program.” Dawes, 30, skated with the Ice for four seasons (2001-02 to 200405), registering 159 goals and 272 points in 245 games. Dawes is in his fifth season with Barys Astana of Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League.

Though he only spent a short time in Cranbrook with the Ice, Eakin had a lasting impact on the franchise, helping it to a WHL championship and Memorial Cup finals appearance in 2011. Eakin, 24, tallied 18 goals and 44 points in 26 games with the Ice after coming to the club from the Swift Current Broncos in a blockbuster, six-player trade. Reinhart spent four seasons in Cranbrook (2011-12 to 2014-15), captaining the club in his final two seasons, before graduating as the all-time franchise leader in points (319). Stoll called Cranbrook home for four season as well, skating in 245 games and registering 286 points. Until Reinhart’s final season, Stoll was the franchise leader in point scoring. The native of Melville, Sask., helped the Ice to its 2002 Memorial Cup championship. A total of 88 forwards, 27 defencemen and 10 goaltenders were named to the top-125 list, which was compiled by WHL historians. See dailytownsman. com/breaking_news/ for more.

WHL Season Preview: Part I PRINCE ALBERT RAIDERS Bret t Smith Prince Albert Daily Herald

Last season: 31-37-2-2,fifth in East DIvision, missed playoffs. Head coach: Marc Habscheid (second season) Assistant coaches: Dave Manson (11th season), Kelly Guard (second season as assistant, fourth overall) Key losses: C Colton Heffley, C/RW Jayden Hart, and D Sawyer Lange all graduated, Kris Schmidli (Swiss league). The 20-year-olds: The Raiders have four 20-yearolds in LW Craig Leverton, D Jesse Lees, C Jordan Tkatch and D Hunter Warner. D Mackenze Stewart, who is being converted to a forward, is eligible to be returned by the Vancouver Canucks. The imports: LW Simon Stransky (12G, 30A) and rookie D Vojtech Budik, both from the Czech Republic. Key returnees: RW Reid Gardiner (34G, 30A) led the Raiders in scoring last season and won the team’s MVP award. C Matteo Gennaro and D Brendan Guhle should be returned after spending time with the Winnipeg Jets

and Buffalo Sabres, respectively. New faces: LW Dylan Williamson, 17, and LW Parker Kelly, 16, had good camps and pre-seasons. Terry Lange (strength and conditioning) and Mark Odnokon (skills) round out coaching staff. Watch for: The Raiders have three capable goaltenders. Rylan Parenteau and Nick McBride shared duties last season and both can return. However, 2014 first-round pick Ian Scott is hot on their heels after impressive camp. Noteworthy: During the final pre-season game, the Raiders acquired RW Cal Babych, 18, from the Prince George Cougars for a conditional seventh-round pick. Did you know: The Raiders have drafted a player from the Czech Republic three years in a row at the CHL Import Draft. Since 2013, they’ve selected Tomas Andrlik, Stransky and Budik. The prognosis: Under Marc Habscheid, last year’s Raiders showed improvements and fought until the end for a playoff spot. Expect the team to continue to improve and be in contention for third in the East Division or one of the two wild card spots.

SASKATOON BLADES Scot t L arson The StarPhoenix

Last season: 19-49-2-2, last in East Division, missed playoffs. Head coach/GM: Bob Woods (second season). Assistant coaches: Jerome Engle (coaching on and off since 1989), Dean Brockman (second year), Tim Cheveldae (third year). Key losses: Top scorers RW Brett Stovin (29G, 21A) and RW Sam Mackechnie (22G, 21A). The 20-year-olds: LW Nick Zajac (11G, 19A), RW Connor Gay (23G, 38A), D Isaac Schacher and D Mitchell Wheaton. It appears forwards will stay barring a trade. The imports: Returning LW Nikita Soshnin (10G, 17A) and rookie D Libor Hajek. Key returnees: C Cameron Hebig is the top returning weapon (18G, 22A) and will team up with LW Ryan Graham (20G, 15A) as part of the top line along with Gay. D Brycen Martin, (Buffalo Sabres) will bring offensive capabilities after putting up 38 points last season between his time in Swift Cur-

rent and Saskatoon. New faces: Gay comes home after trade from Red Deer and expected to lead offensively. Mitchell Wheaton, another 20-year-old acquired from Kelowna, will help solidify a young defence. 16-year-old rookies — Lukus Mackenzie, Josh Paterson and Cameron Hausinger — are expected to progress throughout the year. Watch for: Hajek, chosen second overall in this spring’s CHL Import Draft and a projected firstround NHL pick, and Martin. Both defenceman should be able to jump into the play and create offense from the blue line. Noteworthy: Hebig may be on the verge of a big year. The 19-year-old centre has found his scoring touch recording five goals and three assists for eight points in two pre-season games. Did you know: The Blades have not had a winning season since the 2012-13 campaign. The prognosis: The Blades will in all likelihood ice the youngest team in the league and will need career and/ or breakout seasons from a number of players. They won’t be vying for an East Division title, but with a little luck could sneak into the playoffs.

Philp released by Flyers

Taylor Rocc a

Leading scorer Luke Philp is headed back to the Kootenay Ice. Philp, 19, was released from an amateur tryout with the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday afternoon as the team reduced its training camp roster. The native of Canmore, Alta., led the Ice in scoring during the 201415 campaign, tallying 30 goals and 52 assists. The 5-foot-10, 181pound pivot went undrafted in both years of eligibility at the NHL Entry Draft (2014 and 2015), but has continued to draw interest from pro clubs. Prior to the 2014 WHL season, Philp spent time at Toronto Maple Leafs rookie camp, before attending Flyers development camp this past spring, which led to an invite to fall camp. In 225 career WHL games, all with the Ice, Philp has registered 82 goals and 206 points. The shifty centreman returns to an Ice squad overloaded with overage players, as seven remain on the roster. It is expected the team will stretch out the bulk of decision making regarding its overage players until closer to the Oct. 16 deadline. Teams are permitted to carry more than three overagers up until Oct. 16. Only three overage players are permitted to play any given night. Tough competition remains for the three overage slots with goaltender Wyatt Hoflin, defencemen Tanner Faith, Tyler King and Tanner Lishchynsky, and right wingers Jaedon Descheneau and Jon Martin all still in the mix. Descheneau, a 2014 fifth-round pick (124th overall) of the St. Louis Blues, is the lone player still at NHL camp. King, who underwent off-season knee surgery, is out indefinitely. The Ice open the WHL regular season Friday (7 p.m.) at Western Financial Place against the Calgary Hitmen.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) In the next few weeks, others might challenge you more often. Know that you will need to make an adjustment. This trend begins today; however, as a result of your playful, innovative personality emerging, not much will bother you. Tonight: Find a friend and make plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll continue focusing on getting a project done. What you are likely to find is that, in certain areas, you will need to assume total responsibility in order to have the details work out as you would like. A family member could need some of your time. Tonight: Order in. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) One-on-one relating will take you to a new level of understanding with a loved one. Your imagination could be stimulated by what occurs; how you direct this energy is your call. You’ll make your interactions more interesting. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Deferring to others will make your life easier, but at a certain point, you will want to become more involved than you have been. You might feel pressured by an outside connection, but you must focus on a personal matter. Tonight: Make time for a one-on-one chat. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Understanding evolves to a new level with a friend or loved one. Return calls, and don’t hesitate to speak your mind. You have the ability to get past problems with unusual ease, so much so that you might not even notice a bump in the road. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of the costs of going along with a friend’s idea. You could feel pressured by your family or immediate circle to join them instead. Understand that you’ll need to sort through your plans with your friend before reaching a decision. Tonight: Time for some exercise. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You feel energized and able to

Tundra

connect with others in a more direct manner. A friend might push you hard to get what he or she wants. Allow your ingenuity to emerge, and you are likely to find a solution. Encourage more spontaneity in your life. Tonight: Flirt the night away! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay close to home, knowing that you have a lot to think about. You might feel a bit too restricted financially. You could opt to spend some quiet time at home, where you feel you can relax and consider your options more carefully. Tonight: Have a favorite meal. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Friends might be more instrumental than you realize as they seem to guide your plans and directions. You would see a friendship develop into a lot more if you relax about what is happening. Make calls and be responsive to others. Tonight: Hang out. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of what a demand will cost you both emotionally and financially. You might try

to take shortcuts, but that could drain you financially. Curb a possessiveness that emerges. Try to root out the cause, so you can heal this vulnerability. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a lot of different feelings to deal with. You could be taken aback by a friend and what he or she decides to share. You’ll recognize how hurt this person might be. A loved one seeks you out. There is no way you can avoid this person. Tonight: As you like it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be more vulnerable than you realize. Your judgment could be off, no matter how you look at a personal matter. Try to postpone any decision- making until tomorrow or later. Recognize that you seem to be out of sorts. Tonight: Not to be found. BORN TODAY Singer/songwriter Ray Charles (1930), musician Bruce Springsteen (1949), saxophonist John Coltrane (1926) ***

At the time, my daughter-in-law was attending college and my son asked me to move in. I help pay the household expenses and also do the daily work around the house. All my son and his wife do is fight and makeup repeatedly. Their constant battles make the kids nervous. It has been horrible. Sometimes, it turns violent and someone gets hurt. My son constantly bullies the kids, his wife and me. I stand up to him, but my grandchildren are too young to do the same. My son came home drunk one evening and told me to get out of his house. He has no appreciation for how much I contribute both financially and physically to the care of his home and his children. I love my grandchildren and fear that without my presence, permanent damage will occur. I can find another place to live, but I am concerned about the grandkids. -- Out of Options Dear Options: If your son and his wife are likely to hurt the children or become drunk and abusive, you need to call the police and Child Protective Services to investigate. You can do so anonymously. If the authorities find there is a danger to the children, then the kids will be removed from the home. If you have already established another place of residence, then it’s possible the children will be placed with you or another relative who can take them in. In the meantime, offer to take the kids as often as your son is willing to let you. It will give the parents time to cool off and de-stress, and allow the grandchildren to be in a more stable environment. Please don’t hesitate to put the children’s welfare first. You may be their last line of defense. Dear Annie: My son and daughter-inlaw were married a year ago. I recently discovered that they have not sent out thank-you cards to any of the guests, many of whom traveled a great distance to attend the wedding. Is there anything that can be done at his point to make amends? -Conundrum in Canada Dear Canada: While thank-you notes should be written as soon as possible, it is never too late to make amends. Your son and his wife should write each one by starting out, “We apologize for the tardiness of this note, but we wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your wedding gift.” And then they should write something specific about each present they received. Rest assured, the recipients of these notes will be glad to get them, no matter how late. Many parents decide to take on this responsibility themselves, because their children are not only delinquent, but also unlikely to send any thank-you notes at all. While it is not the parents’ job to do this, we understand those who are mortified that their family and friends have not had their gifts acknowledged and wish to take on the burden themselves. That is entirely up to you. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Giovanni was born on August 5, 1947 in Fiumefreddo, Sicily to Francesca and Francesco Rapisarda. In December of 1951 he made the journey from Sicily by boat to Canada where he then traveled by train with his mother and sister to join his father in Nelson. Despite being an automotive mechanic by trade, his love for trains eventually led him to a lifelong career with CP Rail. In 1973, he returned to Sicily where he married Carmela Previtera and return to Nelson where they built their first home together by hand, had three children, and began raising their young family. In 1987, he moved to Cranbrook, BC with his family and continued working for CP until his retirement. Johnny was a true outdoorsman: he enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, and anything to do with being outside. He shared his love of travel with his family, returning often to his native Sicily, where his presence was cherished. He enjoyed working on his Jeep and tinkering with any type of engine - he could fix anything. No car went unserviced in the family fleet; his children could count on having their vehicles’ fluids topped off and tires inflated to proper pressure before hitting the road. Johnny loved spending time with his wife, Carmela, attending to his farm animals, working in the yard and gardens, and drinking coffee while enjoying the mountain view. He treasured the time and laughter he shared with his children. He cherished many precious moments with his grandchildren at the barn. He also had numerous dogs throughout his life that he loved very much. Johnny was a loving and loyal husband and father. He will be deeply missed. Giovanni is survived by his wife, Carmela; their children, Frank (Andrea) Rapisarda, Mary (Marc) Fennell, and Elisa Rapisarda; their grandchildren, Giovanni, Evangeline, Giuliano, and Elliana; his mother, Francesca; and his sister, Felicia. He was predeceased by his father, Francesco. Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

Don was born in Kimberley and spent his youth in Marysville where he was active in hockey and baseball. He was a gifted skier and water skier. Don enjoyed motor bikes, snow mobiles, race cars and any sport that gave him a rush of excitement! Don was a Light Duty Auto Mechanic at Marysville Motors and then worked as a Heavy Duty Mechanic at Fording River in Elkford where he worked for 32 years before retiring in 2013. He was known for his many talents which included hard work and a willingness to help anyone in need. Don’s greatest enjoyment was spending time at Granite Creek in Idaho with his loving wife Susan and beloved son Jason. While at the lake he loved to fish, visit and spend quality time with his many friends and relatives. Don is survived by Susan, his devoted wife and best friend for 34 years, his son Jason (Julie), daughter Lisa (Garland), granddaughters Taylyn and Kennedy, his sister Irene (Doug), Rob and Scott Wallace who are his cousins, but so close they were like siblings, his cousin Tammie, Auntie Vi, many nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his mother Lylith, father Archie and close relative Bob Wallace as well as his in-laws Bob and Rose. Don was happiest when working in his garage, fixing cars or just goofing off with friends. He always had a saying “what happens in the garage, stays in the garage!” “The garage is now closed.” At Don’s request, there will be no funeral service. Instead, raise your glass and make a toast to him. The family will have a celebration of Don’s life on July 1, 2016 at Granite Creek, Idaho. He will be forever in our hearts. God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you And whispered, “come with me” With tearful eyes we watched You slowly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, We would not make you stay A golden heart stopped beating Your hard working hands put to rest God broke our hearts to prove to us “He only takes the Best.” Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service. Condolences for the family can be offered at: www.mcphersonfh.com

It happened this week â&#x20AC;Ś Continued from page 1

Fall race meeting, contâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;Ś Tom is a true sport, and one who enters his animal for the pure sport of racing. It is such men who make the track popular. Charley Vroman can be seen daily speeding a likely looking animal. He loves handling horses and has great power in training them. Charley can make a horse do anything. He evidently intends to make things interesting at the fall meeting on October the 27th. G. H. Minerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoroughbred is in the pink of condition and if beaten in the race it must be a fast horse that does it. The time chosen for the fall meeting Oct. 27th is an ideal time for horse racing and in this beautiful climate the weather can usually be depended upon as being bright and fine. It is to be hoped that the people of Cranbrook and district will turn out to a man and attend the races. The directors of the Cranbrook Turf association have, in order to help the district, kept the grounds and race track in excellent condition at some personal outlay. 1903 Desire joint discussions ... We are authorized to invite Mr. Caven and his supporters to join with Dr. King in the discussion of the issues of the campaign. This is an educational campaign and the people have a right to know the position of the candidates on the important questions at issue. The Liberal Committee. North pole quest â&#x20AC;Ś Lieutenant Peary is organizing another expedition to search for the North Pole. The Herald would prefer to see one come up in this direction to look for the banana weather that failed to show up this year. As a genuine summer, the past season has been an atmospheric failure. Candidates nominated ... The following liberal and conservative candidates have been nominated to date: Cranbrook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dr. J. H. King, Liberal; T. Caven, Conservative. Schools & fever â&#x20AC;Ś The schools reopened Monday, and although the attendance is not as large as it will be later, yet in view of the great number of scarlet fever cases the past few weeks it was very good. The disease is now well under control and as no new cases are develop-

ing in all probability it will soon be entirely wiped out. Badly injured ... Last Thursday, Hugh McGinniss a teamster at the Cranbrook mill of The East Kootenay Lumber Company, while driving a pole car heavily loaded with logs to the mill, slipped and fell in front of the car. The wheels passed over both legs, producing a compound fracture of the right, and a double compound fracture of the left. The unfortunate man was taken at once to St. Eugene hospital and every aid rendered. He may save his limbs but his injuries are of a most serious nature, and he will be laid up for some time to come. Another slide at frank ... The people of Frank were terrified last Tuesday by a slide of no small proportion. It was at the west end of the former slide, and seemed to undermine the large butte that is still left there. No one was injured, but the people are badly frightened. Something for nothing â&#x20AC;Ś The Herald is giving prizes for those who guess the closest to the vote cast in South East Kootenay this fall. The first prize is a set of dishes on exhibition at the Fort Steele Mercantile Company. The second is a camera, to be seen at Beattieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, The third is two yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; subscription to The Herald. One on Constable Baldy â&#x20AC;Ś At a game of whist recently where Constable Morris and another gentleman of even greater avoirdupois and less hair were seated, the latter suddenly turned to the other participants in the game, and said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never told you of the time my friend Morris and I were in Winnipeg have I? Well, you know we were staying at the Manitoba, and had been taking in the sights of the town, so on this particular occasion retired rather late. On the following morning I appeared on deck at about nine oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock. There being no sign of Morris, I read the morning paper and whiled away the time until about a quarter to ten, waiting for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baldyâ&#x20AC;? to turn up that we might have breakfast together. Becoming impatient as to the welfare of my friend, I finally summoned up enough courage to go to his room knocking at the door, I

was told, in a petulant voice to enter. I discovered my friend â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baldyâ&#x20AC;? in a dreadful state of mind, in fact he was much upset. Eager to know the cause of distress and delay, I asked him why he did not come down to breakfast, that I had been waiting for him a very long time, to which he replied, in tons of agony, that it was simply impossible for him to go down stairs, as someone had stolen his hair brushes, and he could not go down in that state. Probable town â&#x20AC;Ś A gentleman talking the other day regarding the building of the Kootenay Central and the probable results, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know where there is liable to be a big town in this district? I will tell you. If the Fenwick Mountain turns out as is expected it will prove the greatest deposit of iron ore in British Columbia. The Kootenay Central will pass close to it. The next town in British Columbia is liable to be at the crossing of this road over Bull River, and if the deal goes through for the iron properties that is pending, that town will be a hummer. Just remember what I have said and watch the trend of events.â&#x20AC;? Flathead again â&#x20AC;Ś All aboard for the Flathead country, some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richest lands. Go by the way of American points as the British Columbia government thinks so little of the business in that country that it has not spent a cent on either roads or trails to permit entrance by way of Canadian points. Come on trustees â&#x20AC;Ś The trustees of the Cranbrook schools should secure a sufficient number of teachers to take care of the pupils. The idea of one teacher having eighty pupils is simply preposterous. If the department at Victoria is so slow or negligent as to fail to meet the necessities, then let the trustees show their independence and close the schools. Cranbrook must have proper educational facilities, and it is up to the trustees to see that the town secures them. The responsibility is upon their shoulders. Overcrowded! â&#x20AC;Ś There are 80 pupils in one room in the Cranbrook school. And yet people expect a teacher to give satisfaction under those conditions.

Local NEWS Reach a Reader

Literacy skills are essential For the Bulletin

More than half a million British Columbians face significant challenges because of limited literacy skills, whether it’s an inability to read the newspaper, or a lack of understanding of important financial or health documents. Literacy skills are vital to all British Columbians because they are a necessary part of everyday life and impact everything from healthcare to employment and economic status. Literacy is no longer just the ability to read or write, but encompasses a much wider scope of daily activities - including using technology, doing calculations, communicating verbally and in writing, and problem-solving. This month, Black Press, Kootenay Savings Credit Union and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and awareness about the importance of literacy with the 5th Annual Reach a Reader campaign. The campaign will culminate with community leaders and volunteers hitting the streets

across the Columbia Basin and Boundary to distribute special editions of local papers and collect donations in support of community-based literacy programs. The Reach a Reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ Literacy is Life Campaign; a province-wide fundraising and awareness campaign designed to put a human face on literacy and shed light on how low literacy affects children and adults, Aboriginal and immigrant communities, those in the workforce, and the economy as a whole. CBAL’s Executive Director, Ali Wassing, says “Literacy skills are essential for a vibrant BC economy, so addressing limited levels benefits everyone. We would encourage anyone who is affected by literacy issues to tap into the many resources and literacy programs available in their community.” To find out more about literacy in Kimberley, contact Carol Fairhurst at kimberleycoordinator@cbal.org or go to cbal.org.
