Tensions simmer at RDEK Two train cars over proposed Tie Lake dock derail near Yahk TRE VOR CR AWLEY
The application for a private dock out at Tie Lake was a hot topic at the Regional District of East Kootenay board meeting last week. A group of five families — the Tie Five Society — has applied to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to build a 13-metre
dock into the lake. The area in question is a parcel of land half a kilometre southeast of the Tie Lake Regional Park. As part of the ministry’s application process, the RDEK is given a referral with the option to sanction or decline approval for the project, which is considered when the ministry makes their decision.

It’s the second application the Tie Five Society has made to put a dock on the lake, and for the second time, the RDEK did not lend support for the project. However, that could change in the future, according to board chair Rob Gay, who noted that the board is about to embark on a community
plan which will provide an opportunity for broader feedback from Tie Lake residents. “What our decision has to be on is, is this appropriate land use? And so, we would like to go out to the community, so that’s what we’re going to do,” Gay said.

New dock makes access easier for anglers vice-president, Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. “A dock allows people to be catching fish in less time and with less expense and we hope more people will give it a try.” As of April 1, 2015, under a new agreement with the provincial government, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC receives 100 per cent of fishing licence revenue to invest in infrastructure and services to support freshwater fishing in BC. With the increased revenue, the Society is investing in additional research and infrastructure projects across the province, including new docks to make access to angling easier. Easier access to popular fishing spots and stocked lakes supports the Society’s goal to reduce barriers to the sport of angling, resulting in greater angler participation. The Freshwater
Fisheries Society of BC is working with partners to install docks near urban centres and in regional and provincial
parks throughout the Province. Improving access to popular angling lakes leaves a legacy for current and future an-

Cranbrook anglers will be able to enjoy fishing more easily and more often thanks to the installation of a new fishing dock at Jimsmith Lake. Now everyone - from avid anglers who wish to fit in a quick hour of fishing to new anglers who don’t have access to a boat — will be able to enjoy fishing on the lake. Located adjacent to the day use area in Jimsmith Lake Provincial Park, dock installation coincides with fall fishing season when fish are more catchable from a dock as trout move on to the shoals to feed. The Society annually stocks Jimsmith Lake with 2,000 catchable size rainbow trout. “Adding dock access to Jimsmith Lake is an exciting step for us in removing barriers for people wishing to enjoy the angling experience,” said Dana Atagi,

Local students benefit from job skills training Trevor Crawley The provincial government is pitching in some funding towards forestry training for 24 students enrolled at a program at the College of the Rockies. Roughly $700,000 was funnelled into the Community and Employer Partnerships program, which will give the students both classroom and field experience in the forestry sector. The students will learn about tree identification, silviculture, brush saw and chainsaw operation and maintenance, plant identification and Level 3 First Aid. The field experience will prepare the students for jobs such as junior field technicians, chainsaw operators, research assistants or silviculture surveyors. “Acceptance into the Advanced Forestry Skills Training program allows me the opportunity to enter into a strong, growing industry with more than an entry-level skill set,” said Pamela Currie, a student within the program.
“The forestry industry can provide me with unlimited growth potential and with hard work I definitely plan on seizing those growth opportunities. The training provided in this program will build a strong foundation of knowledge in the forest industry while building the self-confidence of each student as we prepare to move ourselves forward in a new career.” Currie and the rest of the students will receive 15 weeks of classroom training, two weeks of practicum experience in forestry and a minimum to two weeks of follow-up job search support. There are two intakes into the program; the first was in early September, the second will begin in January. According to the provincial government, more people are leaving the workforce than entering it. Through the Community and Employer Partnerships—a component of Project-Based Labour Market Training—800 job-seekers and nearly 180 projects have been funded
throughout the province. “The support of Project-Based Labour Market Training fund allows College of the Rockies to provide free high-quality training to members of our community,” said David Walls, CEO of College of the Rockies. “This comprehensive program in Advanced Forestry Skills will open the door to numerous employment opportunities for our participants, which in turn provides a great benefit to the community as a whole.” For the 2015/16 calendar year, the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation is committing $331 million to employment and labour market programs under the Employment Program of B.C. “Kootenay East will benefit from this Community and Employer Partnership preparing 24 people for work in the forestry sector prepared to work in fields such as silviculture, chainsaw operators and researches, just to name three,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett.
Tie Lake dock debated at RDEK Continued from page 1
“We agreed at last month’s meeting we would start a new Official Community Plan (OCP) for the area and there’s some frustration from that group because it’s probably going to take us over a year to complete that plan, but we will have a fuller discussion from the community. “So our recommendation to the Ministry of Forests, who make the decision, all we do is get a referral, but our referral is to say we do not support it at this time, pending the completion of our plan, so we haven’t said no, we just need to have a full-
er understanding of what the community at large would like to see.” The proposal stems from desire of the Tie Five Society to have access to the lake and a place to moor their boats. The dock would be constructed off a parcel of land designated for public lake access which is owned by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. A previous application from the same group in 2014 was not supported by the RDEK. That proposal was for a multi berth dock with space for up to five boats, with the
structure extending approximately 13 metres into the lake with a surface area of roughly 43 sq. m. The current proposal cuts the surface area roughly in half. During committee meetings last Thursday, there were delegations both in favour and against the proposed dock. Gay adds that the consultation through the OCP will allow the whole community to be heard on the issue. “We don’t know if we’ve got the full public, because there are hundreds of residences there, so we’re getting a snapshot of it,” he said. “But certainly during
our planning meeting yesterday, we were very much working to keeping this as a—is this the right land use decision as opposed to neighbour-vs-neighbour.” Gay didn’t discount the possibility of a dock being built there in the future under as an RDEK project. “Because of that land, we as the Regional District could choose to put in a public dock that everybody could use, that these folks could park their boats at, but there’d be no exclusivity, so there’s other options around it, but again, that’d be explored at a public meeting,” Gay said.

Fresh Faces Set to Shine at the Stage Door Submit ted
Theatre goers are in for a treat when Making God Laugh, a comedy written by Sean Grennan, opens October 9. There will be a whole lot of fresh faces at the Studio /Stage Door when their new season opens: All but one of the major players in this madcap comedy are brand new to the Cranbrook Community Theatre. The notable exception is veteran performer Melodie Hull, who plays the role of domineering matriarch Ruthie. Hull, a familiar face to Cranbrook theatre lovers, is excited to see the rise of so many new performers to the theatre scene. She has no doubt the fresh new talent will be well received. “They are all very talented. Not a hard group to work with at all. It’s been a wonderful group to work with and I’m a huge supporter of fresh faces in the theatre.” David Booth, who plays eldest son Richard enjoyed performing in plays during his high school years, but has not taken the opportunity to jump back into it until now. The leap has been easier than he would have imagined. “We fell into the family groove pretty quickly with Melodie and Michael being the parent types.” Younger brother Thomas is played by Woody Maguire, who shares a similar path as David. “I did theatre in high school, a little while ago. It’s been real-

But Making God Laugh will mark her first performance with the CCT. Martin is excited to be playing such a challenging and gritty role. “It is
definitely a real, raw type of play in many ways, and this is a type of mature character I haven’t played before. It’s the most multi challenging role I’ve ever played and I am looking forward to people seeing it.” The Father role is being played by newcomer Michael Prestwich, who has dabbled
a bit in the theatre, but never to this extent. “I did a little bit in law school and back in high school.” Prestwich did add (with tongue firmly in cheek), “I have three daughters in my life. There was plenty of drama.” Director Trevor Lundy is also new to the Cranbrook Community Theatre. His excitement
at bringing so many new people on board is evident in his enthusiasm for the project. “What’s been so exciting is that it is so many new people all involved together and learning as we go, all of us together. That’s what community theatre is all about, it’s making that community, making that family. We have our family on
stage, the characters in the play, but that is translated into the family that has been created off stage as well. “ Making God Laugh follows the lives of Bill and Ruthie and their 3 adult children through more than 30 years of holiday gatherings. Sometimes uproariously funny and other times very moving, the play

The students attended a short assembly where they viewed of video of Terry Fox and his legacy and then went for a run. Donations of toonies and loonies were accepted and several hundred dollars was raised. Terry Fox often said it was the youth who would carry forth his efforts and work towards a world without cancer. Millions of students across Canada take part in the Terry Fox National School Run Day every year raising funds for cancer research, making it one of the largest fundraising events in Canadian history and one of the largest displays of solidarity this planet has ever seen! Teacher Laurie Neeve organized the event, Cpl Newel and Cst Hill supplied a police escort for the run. After the run, the kids enjoyed a visit with officers and a quick view of the police vehicles.

But are they necessary? “I don’t mean to interrupt but these ideas keep popping into my head and I just have to share them with someone.” Me. George was having one of his usual rants the other day. His stoic wife, Felicity, must have lost patience with him and sent him over to unload on me. George, it seems, loathes and detests that woman on the TV, the one that is advertising life insurance or something and goes on and on about looking after the family financially. She then gets all gooey-eyed and hopes for another grand-child. “What use are they,” mumbled George. He has five or six, by my reckoning. “Grandkids are never useful. Not one of mine has ever split fire-wood, helped fix the roof or even cut the lawns.” I reminded George that he has no lawn, just weed covered patches littered with broken farm equipment. George was determined to vent his spleen on something so said, “In the old days you had boys who would share the burden of your work, or girls you could marry off to some family that was richer than you. Then the grand-kids would come along and be useful too.” I thought it wise to ferret out a beer for George and, possibly, shut him up. I was reminded that George had been
calling each of his three grand-daughters ‘Hon’ until recently when one of them started calling him ‘Popsicle’ so he’s actually trying to remember at least one name. But George supposes that grand-children are a sort of necessity if you happen to own some huge enterprise or estate and feel that it will be necessary to keep that possession in the family name. Then grand-kids might be useful, but meanwhile, not only do you have to recall their names, but they have to be supported Peter and given countless gifts on Warland their birthdays and at Christmas. They, at the same time, are probably anticipating your demise and, according to George, even planning to assist in the enterprise. “In the old days,” he continued, “families would sit around the open fire and listen with awe to the oldsters chuntering on about their youths; it may have made sense. But not today.” I switched off; I thought that, when they were young, we used to dandle our own kids on our knees and talk gibberish to them. Should we try this with our grown grand-children it will invariably still sound like gibberish to them, especially if they are working on a degree at university, unless, of course, they are studying ancient history. Our world has changed so much over the decades that what we did and
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
thought, way back then, makes absolutely no sense to the youngsters. In fact, even attempting to listen to grand-children these days puts an enormous strain on a person. I know this because I had just barely survived with a grand-daughter in my house for most of an arduous weekend. If I hadn’t been a talker myself, she would have talked one of my hind legs off. She is in her early twenties, is my grand-daughter, and she seems to know far more about almost everything (and I mean everything) than I did at that age. And she doesn’t mind talking about it! I don’t think that I actually blushed, but it was close. George was off again. “If it isn’t digital, they don’t get it. Give them a shovel or a screw-driver, they don’t know which end to hold. They haven’t got a clue how anything works anymore. Digital!” He ranted on. “Digital!” and made a very rude signal with a single digit towards my almost new car. “They don’t even know how digital works either.” I shrugged; sometimes I too believe that the only use grand-children can have is to remind a person how old he has grown and how much out of touch with the new reality he has got. I checked my analog watch, wondered briefly how it worked, gave up, then drifted indoors. My house was tidier than usual so my grand-daughter must have been of some use.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor
Too little too late
This is an open letter to David Wilks. Mr. Wilks, you are running for re-election as MP for Kootenay-Columbia. I would like your constituents to know that you are not a fit person for the job. Over the past four years, you have shown that you are more concerned with following orders from the Prime Minister’s Office than acting on behalf of your constituents. One example of your failure to do the right thing concerns Flying Officer David Dakin DFC, a decorated veteran of World War II who flew 35 missions over Germany and occupied Europe while serving with Bomber Command in England. Dave Dakin was one of 40,000 young Canadians who flew in Bomber Command operations – 9,919 of whom died in action. With skill, bravery and good luck, Flying Officer Dakin survived. Bomber Command came under heavy criticism post-war because of the many German civilian casualties caused by the bombing. It is true that civilian lives were lost, but it is also true that the effectiveness of the bombing attacks on German industry shortened the war, thus saving many lives. Nonetheless, the controversy left many Bomber Command veterans feeling ostracized and abandoned. They were bitter that their role in the successful outcome of the war was ignored, indeed censured. Then in June 2012, the British government decided to give a long-overdue special award to British survivors of Bomber Command. The Harper government decided to follow suit in Canada. To my great distress, however, our government made no particular effort to get this new military award to the surviving veterans – most of them aged 85 to 95 – before they died. Which brings me back to my friend Dave Dakin and you, Mr. Wilks. In July 2012 I wrote to you about Dave, then aged 90, a constituent of yours living in Marysville. I asked you to act quickly to get the new Bomber Command award to him. Over the next 15 months I made 13 contacts with you and various Conservative cabinet ministers to no avail. I finally made a special plea to you to do something personally to ensure that Dave received official notice of his award before he died. Soon after this, Dave was in Cranbrook hospital diagnosed with lung cancer. You could have done something, despite the lack of action by the Ministers of National Defence and Veterans Affairs. You could have visited Dave in hospital, or phoned him, or sent him a card. You chose to do nothing. Dave died in hospital in 2013, two days before his 92nd birthday, still unrecognized for his valour as a Canadian veteran of Bomber Command. Some time after Dave’s death, the government put his award in an envelope and mailed it to his family. The callous attitude of you and your government toward our veterans does not
bode well for the people of this riding, Mr. Wilks. You are not a fit person to be our Member of Parliament. Peter Moody, MB Kimberley
Unfair accusation
Too Little, Too Late - Response to Mr. Peter Moody’s open letter: As a father whose son is currently serving in the Canadian Forces and a retired RCMP officer with three generations of RCMP in my family, I can assure you that I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who have served our country in uniform. The comments by Mr. Moody are quite upsetting to me. July 9, 2012: Mr. Moody wrote the Department of National Defence (DND) and me. The next day my office contacted Mr. Moody and asked for additional information. Mr. Moody acknowledged by email saying, “Thank you for your speedy response.” July 23, 2012: DND advised Mr. Moody that his correspondence was being forwarded to the Minister of Veteran’s Affairs. September 24, 2012: Veteran Affairs Minister wrote Mr. Moody and informed him the criteria for the medals had to be created, following which the medals had to be designed and manufactured. Late October, Mr. Moody sent another letter which I hand delivered to the Minister of Veterans Affairs in the House of Commons. November 12, 2012: Mr. Moody and my staff person had a long telephone chat. Mr. Moody then emailed, “Thanks for the info and I am pleased that Mr. Wilks contacted the Minister,” and in another email Mr. Moody wrote, “Thanks for the clarification. We are on the same page. Pete.” November 21, 2012: Unfortunately, Mr. Dakin passed away. My constituency office arranged, through the Legion, a flag for veterans provided to the family plus a flag for the funeral ceremony. April 15, 2013: Minister of Veterans Affairs announced the “Bomber Command Bar –War Medals” were available and families could apply. The first bars were available August 2013, nine months after Mr. Dakin passed away. Mr. Moody confirms the Dakin family received the medal. In light of these facts, I’m surprised that Mr. Moody chose to make his unfair, unfounded accusations during the election. David Wilks Candidate Conservative Party of Canada
Vote strategically
With the two front runner candidates, Stetski and Wilks, currently locked at 37 percent in the local polls, those voters planning to vote either Green or Liberal
need to know that their votes will only serve to help Wilks get re-elected. Only if those of us who want the Harper Conservatives gone, vote together, will we have a chance to rid ourselves of the most undemocratic regime in Canada’s history. This is the unfortunate reality with our current “first past the post” election system. Right now, 63 percent of voters in the Kootenay-Columbia region want to see change in Ottawa, but if we divvy those votes between the three other candidates, the probable outcome is we will not see any change. When the NDP forms the next Government, they have committed to bring in proportional representation for the next federal election. Under this much fairer election system, every Party gets a say in Parliament based on the overall percentage of their national vote. No longer would we have a repeat of the last 4 years where the Harper Conservatives, who got only 39 percent of the overall national vote, have dictated to the majority opposition with 61 percent of the votes. For Kootenay Columbia voters, this is clearly an opportunity to supersize your vote! Gary Werk Cranbrook
Don’t vote strategically
Our first past the post voting system distorts the way we vote, and while most of us just vote for who we want, there has been a lot of pressure to vote ‘strategically’ this election. Green volunteers who have been knocking on doors say that some Green voters will vote NDP, but that some Liberal and Conservative voters will vote Green, and some NDP voters will not vote at all. Like ships passing in the night, people are trying to fix the flaws of our electoral system, but in practice make it even worse. If voters actually give in to the pressure from protest organizations like Dogwood and Leadnow, or from the Ecosociety, then on October 20 nobody will know what voters actually voted FOR. There is no ‘against’ option on our ballot, but we do have the freedom to vote FOR the future we want. It is sad to waste that precious gift on a politician you don’t like in the hope that it will defeat a party you detest, while you abandon the candidate who actually represents your values. ‘Strategic’ voting may have the best intention, but negative plus negative just doesn’t add up to positive. Democracy is a beautiful thing, and nobody can tell you how to vote. So never mind all the strategic hot air. The simple truth remains that voting for the future we want, is the only way we will ever get there. Sjeng Derkx Nelson
Nelson-Creston MLA invites Miley Cyrus to jump into wolf-caribou debate C ana d ia n Pres s
A B.C. politician from the Nelson-Creston riding is inviting superstar Miley Cyrus to take her wrecking ball to the ongoing wolf cull in her region and save caribou. The B.C. government shot 84 wolves last year, saying the
animals pose an immediate threat to the survival of caribou herds in the Kootenays and northeastern B.C.’s Peace regions. But the cull drew the attention of Cyrus who urged millions of her Instagram and Twitter followers to call for a
halt to the cull and visited B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest recently. New Democrat Michelle Mungall who represents the Kootenay riding of Nelson-Creston in the legislature is inviting Cyrus to visit her region, too.
She says Cyrus’s powerful voice may be able to save wolves and caribou. Environmental and conservation groups say natural resource development has destroyed and encroached upon caribou habitat and wolves are now the scapegoat.

Split shows two faces of young Kootenay Ice Ice electric in outworking Spokane Chiefs before flatlining against Lethbridge Hurricanes
Taylor Rocc a
If you were at Western Financial Place to take in the Kootenay Ice (1-3-0-0) this weekend, chances are you saw two faces of the Western Hockey League club. Friday night, a young, enthusiastic group outworked the Spokane Chiefs (2-1-0-0) to collect a 5-2 victory -- the first career win for new head coach Luke Pierce. Saturday, that same group stood still and admired a more experienced Lethbridge Hurricanes (2-1-0-0) squad, en route to a 5-1 loss. “It was a Jekyll and Hyde, a little bit,” Pierce said Saturday. “We didn’t work. [The Hurricanes] were ready to play when they started the game. We talked about how important it was to start well and not dig a hole… We just weren’t ready to play. Our guys stood around watching. I think they were still thinking about how good they were [Friday] and didn’t turn the page over. “Tonight, we looked like a minor hockey team and that team over there looked like a pro team.” Saturday’s loss was a tough way to end what started as a promising weekend. Pierce’s first WHL coaching victory was powered by strong performances from veterans Luke Philp, Jon Martin and Zak Zborosky, as well as a calm, confident start between the pipes from goaltender Keelan Williams. “It’s just nice to get it out of the way and it’s nice that I thought we earned it,” Pierce said of the Friday win. “I thought our guys played real well, from our goaltender right on out. Our veteran guys kind of led the way, which we need
them to do with the group that we have.” Philp was electric Friday, registering two power-play goals and an assist. Jon Martin combined with Philp to collect a goal and an assist of his own, while Zak Zborosky scored a pair to round out the offense. “We worked hard in practice on going to the net and rebound shots,” Zborosky said following Friday’s triumph. “I just took what we did in practice and brought it into the games. Turned out I got two goals and it worked out. “Honestly, all the energy in the room after was awesome. During the game, you could tell we were all up and at it on the bench. The energy was really good. To get that first win out of the way was awesome.” Williams made 35 saves in his first start of the season, backstopping the Ice to victory. Saturday’s Hyde-like performance was out of reach for the Ice almost as soon as it began. The Ice dug a hole early and never recovered. Hurricanes centre Giorgio Estephan opened the scoring Saturday and featured prominently in the visitor’s offense, adding two assists before the night was over. “Our team’s been playing real well,” said the 6-foot, 190-pound Estephan. “With moving our feet and getting past the defencemen, moving the puck up the ice gave us a lot of chances tonight and we were able to put it home. “We see [the Ice] quite a bit throughout the year. It’s nice to get [a win] under the belt. You don’t know what to expect coming from Kootenay.”
The native of Edmonton, Alta., opened the scoring 68 seconds into the first period before setting up Jordy Bellerive for his first-career WHL marker 1:29 later. Goaltender Declan Hobbs earned the start for the Ice, leaving veteran Wyatt Hoflin in the stands for the second night in a row. Hobbs made 34 saves and battled right to the end in a losing effort against the Hurricanes, but Pierce said there’s no goaltending controversy afoot in Cranbrook. “There’s no speculation or controversies with Wyatt Hoflin,” Pierce said. “Wyatt Hoflin is an elite goaltender. We’re fully confident in his ability. With the numbers right now with the 20-year-olds, for us to dress three, we need to keep Wyatt out sometimes. But you’re going to see a big dose of Wyatt Hoflin here real soon. It was important to get both Keelan and Declan into a game early in our season. “I understand why people would read into it, but there’s nothing there.” At the other end of the rink, former Ice goaltender Jayden Sittler made 25 saves for his first victory of the season. Next, the Ice head on the road for four games away from Western Financial Place, beginning Tuesday against the Prince Alberta Raiders. Notes: Ice F Shane Allan made his WHL debut Friday… Attendance continues to dwindle at Western Financial Place. Only 2,019 fans took in Friday’s win over Spokane, while a paltry crowd of 1,942 were on hand for Saturday’s loss to Lethbridge...

Descheneau returned to Ice Speedy sniper hoping for big year back in Cranbrook Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
The 20-year-old situation for the Kootenay Ice got a little more complex Friday as right-winger Jaedon Descheneau was sent back to Cranbrook from the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League. The Ice made the announcement via Twitter Friday afternoon. There has yet to be any official announcement from the Wolves, or the team’s NHL parent club -- the St. Louis Blues. Descheneau was in the building but didn’t dress Friday as the Ice claimed a 5-2 victory over the Spokane Chiefs. He made his 2015-16 WHL debut Saturday against the Lethbridge
Hurricanes, grabbing one assist in a 5-1 loss. “He’s got a huge amount of talent and you can see that,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice, of Descheneau’s debut onSaturday night. “But for Jaedon, similar to when Luke [Philp] first got back, you’re trying to do a little too much maybe at times. “I understand it. He wants to make an impression and he’s excited to be back with his teammates…He’s going to be fine when he settles in a little bit.” Descheneau, who finished second in scoring on the Ice with 81
points in 70 games through the 2014-15 WHL season, was a fifthround pick (124th overall) of the St. Louis Blues at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Prior to going into regular camp with the Blues this fall, Descheneau joined a handful of NHL veterans, including defenceman Alex Pietrangelo, for summer training in August. After a stint at Blues camp, the 20-year-old native of Edmonton, Alta., spent time with the team’s AHL affiliate in Chicago before he was returned to the WHL. “It was good, I learned

a lot from my first year to this year,” Descheneau said Saturday night. “How my body needs to be in shape and the speed of the game. “I learned a lot about what it takes to be a pro, about how they work -even in summer skates, how competitive they are, which brought that upon me. Now, I think I’ve grown up a bit. It really helped me become a more mature person.” The Blues have yet to sign Descheneau to an entry-level contract, a factor that could see a determined and motivated goal-scorer bolster a young Ice squad.

Descheneau returns to Ice Continued from page 8 “They like what I’ve done and I already know what I need to work on -- it’s everything,” Descheneau said. “I’m not perfect at anything. Every player needs to work on everything. There’s no individual thing that stands out that’s terrible. Everything needs work. They were really happy with my progress from last year, it just didn’t work out for me [to go pro] this year. Hopefully next year.” Centre Luke Philp, 20, spent a whole lot of time alongside the 5-foot-9, 185-pound Descheneau last season and is just one of the returners tasked with helping get the Blues prospect up to speed with the all that’s new in Cranbrook. The duo lined up together in Saturday’s loss to the Hurricanes. “Desch is an unbelievable player,” Philp said Friday night. “I
played with him all last year and we have lots of chemistry. He’s a great player to play with. He obviously brings a ton to the table for our team and a lot of offensive ability. He’s probably one of the best playmakers I’ve ever played with. “It’s real nice to have him back.” In addition to Philp and Descheneau, the 20-year-old contingent is a crowded one in Cranbrook. Right wing Jon Martin is off to a strong start with two goals and three points in three games. Goaltender Wyatt Hoflin, the team workhorse in 2014-15, remains one of the team’s most reliable players. Defenceman Tanner Lishchynsky has yet to suit up this season as he works his way back from a lower-body injury. Another defenceman, Tyler King, also hasn’t seen any playing
time as he recovers from off-season knee surgery. King isn’t expected to be available until late November or December. WHL teams can carry as many 20-year-olds as they like up, but may only dress three on any given night, up until Oct. 16, at which point clubs can only retain three players born in 1995. That leaves two weeks for Ice general manager Jeff Chynoweth to determine how his 20-year-old situation will shake out. With Descheneau, Hoflin, Martin and Philp all ranking as players capable of having an immediate impact, Chynoweth’s position is not an enviable one. The Ice GM already dealt away another 20-year-old, defenceman Tanner Faith, in a pre-season trade with the Moose Jaw Warriors that landed a conditional fifth-round bantam draft pick in return.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you tap into your intuition and consider the best-case scenario, you will be left with a big smile. Understand where someone else is coming from, and make a point of expressing greater empathy. You could see a tense situation mellow out. Tonight: Head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You tend to stabilize others. An interaction with a water sign will pave the path to greater caring and sensitivity. Understand the role and meaning of this person in your life. The insights you gain into his or her personality could surprise you! Tonight: Where the action is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll recognize that you need more stability; however, your finances seem to be perpetually changing. Your ability to talk to an authority figure can be healing right now. The unexpected brightens up your day. Tonight: You can afford to go with the flow.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Tension surrounds your domestic life, especially in a real-estate matter. For now, keep your thoughts to yourself. You will learn more at a later point. News from a distance will be important. Listen to the other party carefully. Tonight: Do some research on the Web. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Step back from a negotiation, at least for the moment. You might not have all the facts, or perhaps you have misread the situation. Be ready to make an adjustment to your approach and/or thinking. Try to keep an opinion to yourself. Tonight: Get as much sleep as possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are likely to take charge and do whatever you need to do without others reacting. Your fast entry displays determination that can’t be held back. Understand the liabilities involved if you don’t take action. Listen to feedback first. Tonight: Where your friends are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be in a situation
Tundra
where a decision is needed. Others who can’t or don’t want to make the call will look to you. If you make a choice, whatever the issue is will become your responsibility on some level. Be aware of the long-term implications. Tonight: As you like it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be quite tired of what is happening around you until someone grabs your creative interest in a project. You might need to make some big adjustments. Get past an immediate obstacle; it could vanish as quickly as it appeared. Tonight: Return calls. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Defer to others who might be more organized and/or enthusiastic than you. That type of energy and precision could make all the difference in the outcome. Know when to delegate. A loved one could surprise you in an effort to get your attention. Tonight: Go for the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Defer to someone else who seems to be more upbeat than you are. Ask others what they
need from you. Follow through, then free yourself up. A family or domestic matter takes priority, as you see an unexpected matter develop. Tonight: Maintain a sense of humor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Keep conversations moving. You might be uncomfortable with what you are hearing from an acquaintance. On the other hand, you also could be pleasantly surprised. Be careful when dealing with mechanical equipment, as you seem to be distracted. Tonight: All smiles. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a way about you that allows greater give-and-take with others. You are able to see many different facets of an issue. Sometimes this ability can add an element of confusion. An assumption you have made could be off. Rethink this matter. Tonight: Time with a close friend. BORN TODAY Actress Kate Winslet (1975), singer/songwriter Brian Johnson (1947), musician James Valentine (1978)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I are friends with another couple in our neighborhood. The majority of the time, we get along well. We have even traveled together. The problem is, “Susie” is very loud and an extremely poor conversationalist. She dominates the get-togethers by talking about nonsense, and she constantly repeats herself. She interrupts everyone’s conversations with, “Oh, I’ve done that,” and off she goes about herself. Susie’s husband doesn’t seem bothered by this, but it drives me nuts. My husband also doesn’t like it. We have out-of-town family visiting soon and these neighbors have invited themselves over. How do I tell them they aren’t welcome because we don’t want them to have to tolerate Susie’s bad behavior? I see my family infrequently and we don’t want to be uncomfortable with the relatives in our own home. -Frustrated Friendship Dear Frustrated: There is nothing wrong with telling Susie and her husband that you want to spend some private time with your family. Should they drop by uninvited, you can introduce them and let them say hello, but then nicely usher them out, telling Susie that you will visit with them when you are less occupied with family members. But please don’t assume that your relatives will find Susie as annoying as you do. For a brief visit, she could be perfectly tolerable. The trick is to keep it extremely short. Dear Annie: I was saddened and upset by the letter from “Angry Sis,” whose brother “John” stopped speaking to his 83-year-old mother after she asked him to testify against his abusive stepfather. “Sis” asked whether she had to invite John to Mom’s funeral when she died. Her letter showed a lack of empathy and understanding for victims of childhood sexual abuse. Mom brought the pedophile stepfather into the family. John’s attitude may stem from the anger he rightfully feels toward his mother for her failure to protect him. When one parent is an active abuser and the other one fails to protect, the children are left in painful circumstances. They often excuse the “passive” parent and project them as another victim of the abuser because they cannot bear to see the truth. Sis, too, may be directing her anger at John instead of her mother. Whenever abuse is present, it creates a toxic situation for the family. I hope that Sis will seek therapy because she was also a victim. It can help her feel empathy for herself as well as John, and lessen her anger. It is important for Sis to know she can accept Mom’s failure to provide a safe home for her children and still continue to love and be loved by Mom. I sincerely pray that she may be the catalyst to help this family heal while Mom is still alive. -- S. Dear S.: Many readers weighed in on this letter, saying that Sis did not quite comprehend the level of John’s own trauma and possible anger after having been abused as a child, especially when Mom went to court to protect his halfbrother, but didn’t do the same for him. We, too, hope she can help the family heal. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

About World Teachers’ Day World Teachers’ Day: why the 5 of October? In 1994, UNESCO proclaimed 5 October World Teachers’ Day, in celebration of the great step made for teachers in 1966 when a special intergovernmental conference convened by UNESCO in Paris in cooperation with the ILO adopted the ILO/UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers This recommendation sets forth the rights and responsibilities of teachers, and international standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, teaching and learning conditions. It also contains many recommendations for teachers’ participation in educational decisions through consultation and negotiation with educational authorities. Since its adoption, the Recommendation has been considered an important set of guidelines to promote teachers’ status in the interest of quality education. In addition 5 October celebrates the adoption by the UNESCO General Conference in 1997 of the UNESCO Recommendation

One year has passed since that very sad day When our dear son ROBERT was taken away. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal.

Candidates present views at Invermere forum, Sept. 28 Ste ve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer
Invermere residents got a firsthand look at all the Kootenay-Columbia candidates in the upcoming federal election and heard their opinions on a range of issues during the All-Candidates Forum hosted by the local Chamber of Commerce last week. Conservative incumbent David Wilks, NDP candidate Wayne Stetski, Liberal candidate Don Johnston and Green candidate Bill Green were all on hand (Libertarian candidate Christina Yahn had announced her resignation from the race earlier in the day) on the evening of Monday, September 28th at the David Thompson Secondary School (DTSS) theatre. They took turns answering a range of questions on the national debt; the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP); the expired Health Accord and national pharmacare; climate change; child care; increasing voter turnout among younger Canadians and the idea of proportional representation; a 20-horsepower motorized boating restriction on the Columbia River; voting against the party line; promoting aging in place and dealing with senior poverty; and helping small businesses. The candidates gave detailed and varied responses on each topic (far exceeding the scope possible to report in a single newspaper story), but several overriding themes for each candidate emerged over the course of the evening. Mr. Wilks consistently highlighted funding the current Conservative federal government has doled out in each of the areas covered in the forum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is the job of the local MP to try and secure as much money, as much funding, as possible for his or her riding and I have done that, dogged and determinedly, for the last four years, working behind the scenes and dealing with the ministers. I will continue to do that,â&#x20AC;? he said in his closing remarks, adding he personally follows funding applications made by local groups and municipal governments through the application process, helping fix any hiccups before they occur. He also pointed to the seven successful Building Canada Fund applications secured in the Kootenay-Columbia riding, which he said was the highest number in any federal riding in B.C., and the three Canada 150 grants secured for

PUTTING FORWARD PLATFORMS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Climate change, affordable housing and infrastructure emerged as dominant themes in the All-Candidates Forum at DTSS on Monday, September 28th. the Invermere area. Mr. Green promised more investment in green technology and said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada has dilly-dallied too long on climate change. We need to get on this in the next parliament.â&#x20AC;? He returned multiple times to two federal Green platform ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the idea of a guaranteed livable income (which he sees as helping deal with the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, childcare and senior poverty issues) and the idea of a Council of Canadian Governments (which he said would create more co-operation between various levels of government and would correspondingly help deal with a variety of issues). Mr. Stetski, for his part, often pointed to what he called the poor track records of the current Conservative government and the previous federal Liberal government before that. He promised a fresh start, saying the NDP would bring social democracy to Canada for the first time and positioning the NDP as the only true alternative to the Conservatives in the Kootenay-Columbia riding. Mr. Stetski said this riding has long been a Conservative stronghold with the Conservative candidate frequently taking more than 50 per cent of the vote, then he highlighted a recent poll that showed 37 per cent voter support for Conservatives in Kootenay-Columbia, 37 per cent for the NDP, 15 per cent for the Liberals and 11 per cent for the Greens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number one thing I hear is (Conservative prime minister Stephen) Harper has to go and we need change. As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard tonight, the three progressive parties (referring to
Protect our earth. The Cranbrook Daily Townsman and the Kimberley Daily Bulletin promote recycling. We use vegetable-based inks, and our newsprint, tin and aluminum waste is recycled.
the Liberals, NDP and Greens) share a lot of values,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a fiscally conservative, liberal-minded, green NDPer. You need think about this and the opportunity we have in this riding to have a progressive candidate (in Ottawa) to represent your views.â&#x20AC;? Earlier in the day at an all-candidates forum held by DTSS students, he had made a similar but more direct appeal, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ask my Liberal and Green friends to help out in making a new Canada by voting NDP.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Johnston dismissed Mr. Stetskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entreaty for strategic voting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want you to think about which candidate best represents the kind of change you want to see, and I want you to cast your vote out of hope, not out of fear. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had too much of that (fear) in Canadian politics,â&#x20AC;? he said. He referenced the results of the previous 2011 federal election in which â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the Kootenay-Columbia riding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Conservatives took 50 per cent of the vote, the NDP 39 per cent, the Greens six per cent and the Liberals three per cent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the Conservatives are down 13 per cent, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone up. The NDP has actually gone down two per cent in support,â&#x20AC;? said Mr. Johnston. Earlier at the student forum, he has offered similar comments, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is the Liberals who are pulling votes away from the Conservatives in this riding.â&#x20AC;? When answering questions, Mr. Johnston several times referenced the previous federal Liberal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track record on issues, saying it was that government that had negotiated the last Health Accord and had worked out a national childcare agreement with the provinces in 2005 (which never came to fruition after the Liberals lost the 2006 federal election). He also called climate change â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most important
issue we face coming out of this election.â&#x20AC;? The candidates also frequently touted their partiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; budgets, with Mr. Wilks emphasizing the fiscal responsibility of the Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; balanced budget. Mr. Stetski and Mr. Johnston both contended that the Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; balanced budget leaves pressing social issues unaddressed. But while Mr. Stetski promoted the NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget as being both balanced and adequate to fix social problems, Mr. Johnston said it will be impossible for the NDP to do both those things at the same time and maintained that the Liberalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; budget (which proposes a deficit for several years) was the only realistic way to deal with current social issues and what he termed Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;infrastructure deficit.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Green also often referenced the Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full-costed platform, which he said is easily available for anybody to read online and understand. The forumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cordial tone didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prevent candidates from being forthright and direct in their answers, with Mr. Wilks, speaking to the question of voting against the party line saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;on confidence motions or budget motions, you vote with the party because if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you will be sitting as an independent the next dayâ&#x20AC;Ś it happened to an NDP MP when he voted against his party on the long gun registry.â&#x20AC;? He added that those who go through online records will see he has voted against his party on private membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bills more than any other Conservative MP. Mr. Green reminded the audience that the NDP MP Mr. Wilks spoke of then opted to join the Green Party. The forum was well-attended, with roughly 150 people in the DTSS theatre. Prior to Friday, October 2nd, eight forums had been held in other communities throughout the riding, with three to go before election day on Tuesday, October 19th.
