Province, First Nation and sports groups celebrate announcement A celebration marking the successful joint bid to host the 2018 55+ BC Games by the communities of Cranbrook and Kimberley took place Friday afternoon in the terminal building at the Canadian Rockies International Airport. The announcement of the successful bid was made by the Province through the Ministry of Community, Sport and
Cultural Development on Saturday September 26. “The 55+ BC Games will bring thousands of visitors to the East Kootenay and provide millions of dollars to the local economies of Cranbrook and Kimberley,” says Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Peter Fassbender. “These Games also prove that you can

from an influx of visitors, and the Games will leave a legacy of community pride.” “Kimberley has a record of successfully hosting events and shared hosting responsibilities with Cranbrook for the BC Winter Games back in 2008,” says Norm Macdonald, MLA of Columbia River – Revelstoke. “The 55 Continued next page

Trade deal doesn’t fix U.S./Canada lumber issue: Harper
PHOTO SUBMITTED
Log export restrictions in B.C. are a long-standing source of irritation for both the U.S. and Japan. By Tom Fletcher
The Trans-Pacific Partnership agree-
ment doesn’t resolve Canada’s long-running dispute with the United States over softwood lumber, or remove restrictions on log exports from B.C. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the Canadian government would like to renew the CanadaU.S. softwood agreement, expired as of Thanksgiving Day. It’s a side deal outside the North American Free
Trade Agreement, and it won’t be covered by the Pacific Rim trade either. “Obviously we would like to see this agreement move forward, and I think industry on both sides of the border would, but for reasons that were not entirely clear, the American administration hasn’t seen it that way,” Harper said in an interview with Black Press.
“In terms of forestry, what the TPP does do is provide new tariff-free access to many Asian countries, including enhanced access to the Japanese market.” Restrictions on log exports from B.C. are also not eased by the TPP, which includes Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand and Australia. B.C.’s control over Crown land
Federal election day is Monday
log prices has long been an irritant with the U.S. and Japan, while private and aboriginal land log producers are restricted by federal rules. “B.C. was able to ensure that both provincial and federal log export controls will not change as a result of the TPP, despite pressure from Japan to eliminate them,” B.C. International Trade Minister Teresa Wat said in a statement. “B.C.’s objectives for the forestry sector during the TPP negotiations were to gain market access for forestry products to important
TPP markets such as Japan, while maintaining existing log export controls.” Premier Christy Clark said this week her first call to Ottawa after the Oct. 19 federal election will be about continuing the U.S. softwood lumber talks. Harper expressed confidence that despite the history of U.S. legal and trade actions over the years, the existing deal can be extended. “We’ve managed to export a lot of lumber over the years and I’m confident we will continue to,” Harper said.

Will pot bloom or be nipped in the bud? by Jeff Nagel This election may decide whether Canada makes a historic leap toward marijuana reform or remains a legal battleground between cannabis advocates and a resistant federal government. Under the federal Conservatives, Ottawa has long argued pot is dangerous, unproven as a medicine, and a serious risk to youth if legal access grows. The government has only allowed possession by authorized medical marijuana users after courts ruled in 2000 they have a right to reasonable access. Since then, tens of thousands of Canadians became approved users and many got federal permits to grow it themselves. Cities grew anxious about the explosion of often unsafe legal grow-ops in their midst. That was one reason
the Conservatives tried in 2014 to outlaw home growing of medical pot and force users to buy only via mail order from a new group of approved commercial producers. Corporate growers have rushed to carve up the market while pot activists and lawyers have fought to defend and widen the ability for anyone to grow and sell the stuff. Nowhere has that battle been more obvious than in Vancouver, where more than 100 medical pot dispensaries have opened, illegally selling weed in contravention of federal law, but largely unmolested by police. Vancouver and other cities aim to regulate retail pot stores themselves. Ottawa wants them closed instead and threatened to send in the RCMP. Meanwhile, time seems on the side of legalization advocates, who say the drug can be regulated and taxed much like alcohol rather than feeding orga-

A new Insights West poll found 65 per cent national support to legalize marijuana, with 30 per cent opposed. More than two-thirds believe pot has legitimate health benefits and that legalizing and taxing it would generate needed government revenue, while allowing police to focus on other priorities. As more U.S. states legalize recreational marijuana – Washington has been joined by Colorado, Oregon and Alaska – B.C.’s advocates can increasingly point across the border and argue the sky has not fallen.

legalization at a time when many politicians remain gun shy, but believes both the Liberals and NDP would deliver major change. A key issue if reform comes, he said, is whether anyone can grow their own pot – and even sell it at farmer’s markets – rather than just buying from corporate growers and dealers.

Views Letter: Collaboration with the Conservatives Dear Editor, One of the most interesting features of the 2015 federal election in Kootenay– Columbia has been the remarkable degree of collaboration between local Chambers of Commerce and the Conservative campaign. As quoted by the Valley Echo, Conservative campaign manager Jim Abbott said, “We had invitations out to all the local Chambers to organize forums right when the writ was dropped, and eight of the nine Chambers have agreed”. This is a considerable change from the 2011 fed-
eral election when local Chambers of Commerce could only cobble together a few forums (nothing in Cranbrook) and the Conservative candidate failed to appear at many of those. So why the change? Why are Chambers of Commerce so active in hosting candidate forums during this election and why did the Conservative candidate only agree to attend Chamber sponsored events? The answer can be found in the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce’s “Voice of Business” newspaper insert that outlines BC Chamber of
Letter: Poor performance while Mayor of Cranbrook So NDP Candidate Wayne Stetski wants change. Well let’s look at what change meant to the citizens of Cranbrook when they voted for change almost 4 years ago and elected Wayne Stetski as their Mayor. After 3 years as Mayor, in the 2014 election he received only 7 more votes than in the 2011 election; 2185 to 2192. He was soundly defeated. In fact, 5 of the newly elected councillors also received more votes than Wayne did running for Mayor. It seems the citizens of Cranbrook were tired of Mr. Stetski and wanted a change. At the ballot box they made their point loud and clear. Wayne
Stetski must go. As Mayor, Stetski raised taxes over 12% and raised utility rates 10%. He sadly neglected major issues such as roads and infrastructure and the problem with Idlewild Dam, while squandering taxpayers’ dollars on frivolous projects. Wayne Stetski alienated himself from the business community resulting in barriers to business and very little economic growth and activity. Under his miserable leadership, every one of his councillors who ran in the 2014 election was also soundly defeated. Not much success in leadership and direction shown there. His claim to fame was attend-

Commerce election priorities. It is a clear political agenda, one focused on business and the economy. It is not by accident then, that Chamber election priorities like international trade (the Trans- Pacific Partnership agreement TPP ), transportation infrastructure, and business and the economy have dominated Chamber candidate forums throughout the riding. Many of the topics chosen for discussion look as though they were lifted straight from the pages of the “Voice of Business”. Clearly, Chambers of Commerce are not the apolitical and nonpartisan organizations they claim to be. Problem is, the relationship between the
Conservative campaign and local Chambers of Commerce is just a little too close. Chamber election priorities such as the TransPacific Partnership Agreement, transportation infrastructure and an emphasis on job creation and the economy (remember Harper’s Economic Action Plan?) are Conservative campaign themes as well. The messaging between Chambers of Commerce and the local Conservative campaign is deeply entwined, reinforcing and consistent. Elections Canada defines election advertising as messaging that “... promotes or opposes a registered party or the election of a candidate, includ-
ing a message that takes a position on an issue with which a registered party or candidate is associated” (italics added). Third Party Advertisers are required by law to identify themselves and are then subject to strict spending limits. By Elections Canada’s own definition, Chambers of Commerce in Kootenay-Columbia should and must be considered Third Party Advertisers. They are taking a position on an issue (business and the economy) with which the Conservative Party is closely associated. It is quite unbelievable that Chambers of Commerce in Kootenay-Columbia have been allowed to pose as apolitical
and neutral facilitators, conveniently side stepping Third Party advertising spending laws, yet at the same time controlling and shaping public debate. But how does this relate to the dramatic cuts being made at Canada Post? By carefully controlling the questions being asked at forums, Chambers of Commerce protect the Conservative incumbent from being held accountable to the electorate. It is a form of voter suppression that is unacceptable to many people. In a candidate forum that is neutral and unbiased, this is what should have been asked; “why did MP David Wilks help defeat an NDP motion that would have overturned
unprecedented service cuts by Canada Post? These cuts include the elimination of 8000 jobs across the country, the termination of door to door mail service in Kimberley, Cranbrook and Nelson and the closure of rural post offices like the Kimberley Post Office. If you as a voter get a sense that the political system is somehow rigged in favour of certain parties or groups, you’re right. It is. But it doesn’t have to be. Fight back now. STOP HARPER! ~Brent Bush, President, Cranbrook Local 728 Canadian Union of Postal Workers
ing over 300 events a year. Many of these had nothing to do with running of the City’s affairs. I suggest Wayne Stetski should have paid more attention to what the citizens of Cranbrook wanted and less attention to his photo ops. Wayne Stetski as Mayor proved to be a prime example of poor performance, poor leadership, and no results. Is this the person you want representing you in Ottawa? Think about this when you are voting for change because as evidenced during his term in Cranbrook, you will absolutely get less than you bargained for! ~Igor Gallyamov, Cranbrook Photo John Allen

and services to the Basin,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and Chief Executive Officer. “However, sometimes an opportunity doesn’t fit our standard financial requirements, nor is eligible for a grant— and yet deserves to be supported for other reasons. The Impact Investment Fund gives us the ability to help these businesses strengthen and grow.” This fund is one of the outcomes of
the Our Trust, Our Future engagement process. From September 2014 to February 2015, the Trust connected with 3,000 Basin residents to get ideas on how it could better support their priorities. All types of businesses can apply directly to Community Futures, including for-profits, nonprofits, social enterprises, First Nations businesses and startups. The business must be located in
the Basin, and the investment opportunity must demonstrate significant positive impacts in the Basin. Applications will be reviewed by Community Futures staff and an external adjudication committee made up of Basin residents appointed by the Trust. “We have long noticed a gap in the financial resources currently available to businesses, and are pleased to partner with the Trust to deliver this innovative financial tool,” said Don Freschi, General Manager, Community Futures of Greater Trail. “Working
together, we are now able to better support the businesses in our c o m mu n i t i e s — a n d therefore the communities themselves.” For more information, contact the Community Futures office in your area: Central Kootenay (1.250.352.1933, info@futures.bc.ca); East Kootenay (1.800.661.2293, info@cfek.ca); Fraser Fort George (1.800.661.2055, general@cfdc. bc.ca); Greater Trail (250.364.2595, info@ communityfutures. com); Revelstoke (1.250.837.5345, i n fo @ reve l s t o ke c f. com).

Local PACs get new funding from the Province The provincial government has provided $114,620 to local Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) and the District Parent Advisory Committee (DPAC) in the Southeast Kootenay School District to help support student activities outside of the classroom. Councils in Cranbrook, Fernie, Elkford, Sparwood and Jaffray are receiving grants. The funds will be used to enhance the student experience through extracurricular activities. These grants cover various costs, including sporting equipment, musical instruments, playground equipment and field trips. “Several years ago when I was first elected, one of the first things we did was put parents back into our schools,� Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “These PAC grants are annual grants and help empower parents to be involved in their child’s school, the way they have a right to be.� The parent-run councils help ensure B.C.’s children have access to activities that ensure the development of a well-rounded educational background. Overall, nearly $11.1 million has been delivered to more than 1,400 PACs and DPACs throughout British Columbia for the 2015-16 school year. The funding is through the provincial government’s community gaming grant programs.

Last Friday, 19 Grade 7/8 students from Kootenay Christian Academy worked together to clean up 100 kilos of waste from Joseph Creek. Concentrating their efforts around the perimeter of the Tamarack Mall parking area, they removed candy wrappers, drinks cups, plastic tops, straws and shopping bags, and even some hubcaps. The clean-up was a Student Action Project, an important part of Know Your Watershed, a program of the Columbia Basin Trust, administered and managed by Wildsight. “The Know Your Watershed Program teaches students about local water issues, where their water comes from and where it goes after we flush it or send it down the drain. The Student Action Project empowers students to tackle a local water issue, in this case removing garbage from Joseph Creek,” said Wildsight educator, Dave Quinn. Margo Louw, a Grade 8 student and one of the participants, said, “It was messy and I did not expect to find as much garbage as we found. It felt great to clean up the creek. Lots of people walking by stopped to say thanks.” “Cleaning up a short section of the creek near the school is a simple way for students to anchor some of the concepts from the program, from the need for clean water, to the fact that everyone shares a stake in protecting our clean waters,” added Dave Quinn.
knowing the difference can help you avoid encouraging companies from ‘fake feelgood’ recycling. For example, Illy, the coffee company, began a capsule recycling program for its disposable coffee pods. The reality is that the ‘recycling program’ ships the capsules to another part of the country (hello carbon emissions!) and then downcycles the capsules to the lowest possible level. Their advertisements might make customers feel better about dumping capsules, but we know the truth behind the scheme, and it’s not recycling at its best. Buy recycled The essence of recycling is the cyclical movement of materials through the system, eliminating waste and the need to extract more virgin materials. Supporting recycling means feeding this loop by not only recycling, but also supporting recycled products. We can now find high recycled content in everything from
printer paper to office chairs. But make sure you know the difference between recyclable and recycled.Tetra Pak says the use recycled materials in their packaging, but only 18 percent of Tetra Paks get recycled - so the recycling looped is not closed. Anticipate recycling In addition to buying recycled goods, keep a keen eye out for recyclable goods. Whenever you purchase something packaged, think about how you can reuse the packaging, return it to a shipping store for reuse, or try to otherwise recycle it. If you get something likely to run down or wear out over time, such as an electronic component, give preference to the model that can be easily upgraded or cannibalized for parts so that you don’t have to junk the whole thing if one part breaks. Products that are impossibly fused together are often called “monstrous hybrids” and are, while often cheaper up front, frequently unfixable and unrecyclable.
First things first, a little R & R & R The aphorism is so tired it almost might seem like “reduce, reuse, recycle” should go without saying. Most of us have only really heard the last third of the phrase, and they’re ranked in order of importance, but there are several steps we should consider before recycling. Reducing the amount that we consume, and shifting our consumption to well-designed products and services, is the first step. Finding constructive uses for “waste” materials is next. If it’s broken, fix it don’t replace it! If you can, return it to the producer (especially electronics). Or better yet - don’t by any packaged goods! Tossing it in the blue bin should be last. (The garbage can is not on the list, for good reason.) Through a balance of these three principals you can easily see your landfilldestined waste dwindle fast. A good example of recycling is setting your empty water bottles in the bin on the curb.

“The Five Do’s and Don’ts of Successful Businesses.” According to researchers, there are five im portant do’s that lead to business success: 1. Innovate 2. Ask for outside advice 3. Have a solid plan and measure your progress
Small Business is BIG Business Small Businesses are the key driver of the Cranbrook economy 98.2% of Cranbrook businesses have less than 100 employees
64% of Kootenay employees work in a Small or Medium Enterprise 30% of small and medium (SME) in the Kootenays are led by women Top Three SME categories in the Kootenays Accommodation and Food Services 14.1% Construction 13.4% Business Services 13.1%
4. Hire the best people and keep them engaged 5. Build strong relation ships with your key sup pliers There are also five main things to avoid when run ning a successful business: 1. Don’t rely on a small pool of customers —
diversify 2. Don’t underestimate the importance of effective financial management 3. Don’t leave contingen cy planning until it’s too late 4. Don’t ignore what’s happening in your market 5. Don’t wait too long to get help
Follow those five steps and you will find that your business will get increasingly successful. Remember, however, to put aside funds dur ing the good times to give yourself a financial cushion. see Small Business, next page

B2B – it’s all about alliances To best promote their companies’ business devel opment, managers estab lish contacts, expand their networks, and forge strong re lationships with their customers. For optimum growth, business people may elect to form strategic alliances with other com panies. These tactical part nerships, which now com monly exist on an inter national level, offer many
advantages. Strategic alliances are cooperative agreements that enable two companies to go above and beyond what they could do alone. Unlike mergers, where there is a common execu tive management and shareholders, strategic alli ances are based on main taining organizational autonomy. In other words, each company retains its
independence while they collaborate together on a common project. To achieve their goals, they can unite their resources, expertise, and sometimes even some of their capital. Equitable alliance A strategic alliance is subject to one hard and fast rule — the alliance must be fair and both see B2B page 14

partners must benefit in some way. Business experts affirm that these benefits are nume rous, including increased access to technology, the opening up of markets, the sharing of costs, risks, and expertise, and increased competitiveness. However, for such a partnership to be successful, it is necessary for everyone to do
their homework carefully. Even though a strategic alliance can be profitable, it can also be doomed to failure if its foundations are poorly established. Strategic alliances are not just beneficial for large companies. Even small and medium enterprises can form alliances that will en hance their potential.

Dwight Mervin LaFreniere; husband, father, grandpa, greatgrandpa, brother, uncle, friend and true-blue “Kootenay Manâ€? took his last breath surrounded by his family at his beloved home in Meadowbrook on Oct 8, 2015. When God created Dad he made a man’s “manâ€?, a fine mixture of Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and John Wayne‌. all the men he so admired. Dad’s exterior disposition was that of a “tough guyâ€?, a man who loved hunting, camping, horseback trips, operating heavy
Dwight LaFreniere equipment, prospecting, and enjoying a good bs session with friends and family while sipping a tall glass of whiskey. What many didn’t know about this proud “Frenchmanâ€? was that he had a heart and love for kids as big as Mother Theresa’s. When it came to his grandchildren “Hunting Grandpaâ€? would drop everything and anything to be with them. Always unselfish of his time‌.Grandpa was proud to say he was busy baby-sitting as the kids always wanted to spend time with him. And who wouldn’t, as time with grandpa included belly laughs on the floor, fishing in his pond for crayfish, playing in his loaders and dumptrucks, exploring his property, going for drives in the back-country to look for coyotes and feasting on ice cream and chocolates for lunch. When the gates of heaven opened on the early morning of Oct 8, 2015, I would have imagined hundreds of children ran to meet and welcome you as their new “Grand Angelâ€? ‌.. a lucky bunch they are!! Know that we will never forget you ‌Dwight, Dad, Grandpa, Buddy, Frenchy, Digger and little brother. You were one of a kind! I just want to know‌â€?Can a duck swim?â€? haha Until we meet again....

In loving memory of Edward Peter Gieni Passed away on October 10, 2015 Edward was born January 25, 1936 in Kayville, SK. In 1958 he married his loving and devoted wife Clarice (19392004) and started a family. He worked various jobs which included farming the family homestead in Kayville. In 1975 they moved to Fairmont Hot Springs where he worked on the Wilder Ranch. Then in 1978 they moved to Canal Flats where he worked at the local lumber mill and in 2003 they made their home in Cranbrook, BC. Along the way, many loyal friends were made and always warmly welcomed into their home. Ed had a great love for music and enjoyed many good times with family and friends playing and singing together. He had a passion and love working with horses and cattle in his younger years and enjoyed anything western related. His love and faith in God was reflected until his last breath. He was a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather and touched the lives of many people with his kind-hearted generous actions. He will be lovingly missed by his family: son Kim (Christine) Gieni, daughter Wendy (Ron) Campbell. Grandchildren Jodi Campbell, Bobbie (Chad) Petruk, Trisha (Abram) Peters, Christopher (Stormy) Campbell, Sarah (Matthew) Hill and Peter Gieni and also 15 great grandchildren. May God reward this faithful and loving servant. Heartfelt thanks go out to Dr. L. Davis and the caring staff at Cranbrook Regional Hospital. To his many loving, caring and devoted friends and family. To Major Kirk and Major Linda Green and his church family. A very special hug to Jerry from Tangles for his act of kindness to our Dad.

OBITUARY Harlan Dee Nickell
August 24, 1959-October 5, 2015 Harlan Dee Nickell passed away peacefully on October 5, 2015 at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. Dee was born on August 24, 1959 in Milden, Saskatchewan. The Nickell family moved to Cranbrook in 1966 and Dee became a fast friend to many. In his youth he enjoyed minor hockey and baseball, but his biggest thrill was helping his Dad to make ice at the old curling rink (now Kinsmen Arena) late at night and was proud to curl in the men’s league as a boy. He loved curling and all the camaraderie that went with it and met many dear friends. Dee hired on with CP Railway in 1977 but when it was discovered that he was only 18 he was let go and told to return in a few months, once he turned 19. He did just that, and after five years of being a brakeman, signed up for the Locomotive Engineers Training Program in Vancouver. At the time he held the distinction of being the youngest engineman in BC. He returned to Cranbrook in the early 80’s and drove dump truck for his Dad on his days off with CPR. He stepped away from his railway career in 1986 to work alongside his Dad permanently, who had a John Deere 450 cat and a dump truck. Father and son worked together nurturing and growing Nickell Excavating Ltd. and were known for their integrity, efficient work ethic and skilled knowledge. Dee had a gentle touch when operating his excavator that others envied. “Everyone stops what they’re doing and watches the big yellow machine do all the work� would be said in frustration at the end of a work day, but really his work was being admired. Although a prairie boy at heart, he had a deep love for the mountains. Dee is sorely missed and survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Susan Hinds, his son Robert, daughter Ellen, brother Ron (Kathy) and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts & uncles. Dee was predeceased by his Dad & Mom, Vern & Joy Nickell, his sister Sue & her husband Geoff Blair. Dee was a kind-hearted man, loving husband and proud father. He will be incredibly missed by all who knew him. Family and friends are cordially invited to a celebration of Dee’s life on Saturday, October 17th from 1:00 – 4:00 pm at the Cranbrook Curling Club. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Bear season: do you know what to do?
by Kathy Murray Wi l d S a f e B C C o m m u n i t y Coordinator
A grizzly bear and two cubs were reported initially getting into chicken coops on rural properties. They have now made their way into Fernie, reported in the field behind Home Hardware and at the north end of Hand Avenue and Colclough in West Fernie and Aspen Crescent. Black bear sightings, bears accessing garbage, bears climbing onto porches looking into windows, bears swatting dogs, bears bluff charging people at night reported throughout the Elk Valley and South Country. Are you comfortable with bears, even a grizzly and cubs in your backyard? If you have garbage in the backyard, under the carport, on the deck, apple trees that haven’t been picked, pet food outside, chicken coops or anything , expect bears, even grizzly bears to turn up looking for easy food. Bears getting garbage in your yard will often drag it to another property. Your negligence is jeopardizing other people’s safety. Remove the attractants, bears will move on. If it is safe to do so, scare the bears off your property, a car alarm works well, air horn, bang pots and pans even a loud electric guitar has proven to deter bears. Carelessly stored garbage and apple trees are the root causes of bear human conflict in the Elk Valley and South Country. What is the problem with bear’s eating apples? Apples are a fine food source for bears. They are very similar to many natural foods that bears normally eat. The problem is that most apple trees are located in people’s yards. Bears are natural scavengers, have great memories, a keen sense of smell and will remember an easy food source. Carelessly stored garbage, birdfeeders, dirty BBQ’s and fruit trees are open invitations to bears. Apples are ripe and bears are passing through town in search for easy food sources. . Owning a fruit tree in bear country is a big responsibility. Pick fruit daily as it ripens or pick it before it ripens if you don’t intend on using it and don’t allow fruit to accumulate on the ground. Pruning your

fruit trees will result in a better and more manageable quality of fruit. If you can’t manage your apple tree, consider cutting it down and replacing it with a non-fruit bearing tree. Consult your local arborist. Dispose of excess apples responsibly, take them to the transfer station, it is free! Be prepared and expect to encounter bears anytime, anyplace. At home: Bear proof your property: lock up the garbage, clean up the fruit, feed pets indoors, keep pets indoors at night and

Ron Burke, of Alittle Voodoo, doing what he does best. by Mike Redfern Alittle Voodoo will be performing at Studio 64 on October 17. No, it’s not a typo. The Calgary awardwinning blues band, Alittle Voodoo, spells it that way. The band has been around since 1992 under that name,
led by contemporary blues singer/songwriter Ron Burke. They made their first CD in 1993 and in 1994 started touring with such greats as Colin James, Jeff Healey, Long John Baldry, Bo Diddley and many others. And now they are coming to Kimberley, perform-
ing Live at Studio 64 on October 17, the third of the four bands in this year’s fall jazz and blues series sponsored by Kimberley Arts Council. The band consists of Burke on vocals and lead guitar, Tom Knowles on bass, and Rob Vulic on
drums. Sometimes the trio becomes a quartet with the addition of Russell Brown on guitars. Burke was inducted into the 2010 Calgary Blues Music Hall of Fame as guitar player of the year. Tom Knowles was similarly honoured in both 2009 and 2010 as best bass player of the year. Knowles started his career playing with Long John Baldry and also worked with Jimmy Page, Tom Jones, and other greats. Yes, their credentials are rather impressive and it’s a privilege to have them bring their musical expertise to Kimberley for what we can only anticipate will be an excellent evening of top class blues music. The Live at Studio 64 series got underway September 5 with Gabriel Palatchi’s rousing Latin jazz which was followed by the
quieter, perhaps more clinical jazz performed by the Tyler Hornby Trio on September 26, both concerts enthusiastically received by full houses at Studio 64. Alittle Voodoo will be followed by the final concert in this year’s fall jazz/blues series, performed by the Alan Brecker Quartet, another fine Calgary band, on November 21. Advance tickets for Alittle Voodoo and for the Alan Brecker Quartet are available at Centre 64 (250427-4919 or kimberleyarts@gmail.com) or online at ‘snapd East Kootenay’, $22 for Kimberley Arts Council members, $24 for non-members. Tickets at the door are all $26. Both concerts start at 8 p.m. with doors open at 7.30 for bar service and table seating.
