Muriel Baxter would be pleased, descendent says City of Cranbrook to name dog park after legendary schoolteacher

ARNE PETRYSHEN

The planned offleash dog park may be named in honour of Muriel Baxter following a letter received by Cranbrook City Council in the Oct. 19 meeting.

A descendent of Muriel Baxter — the Cranbrook resident whose dedication to education was honoured with the

naming of the former elementary school — had positive things to say about the city’s plan for a off-leash dog park.

The dog park is planned for the property that the school formerly sat on.

Kerrigan Scott Baxter

wrote to city council and the letter appeared before council at the Oct. 19 meeting.

“I have recently

noted that there is some debate in your city regarding the turning of the area that was previously occupied by the School into a ‘Doggy Park’,” Baxter said. “I would like to say that I

would be pleased and I am sure that Muriel would also be to have this become a reality.”

Baxter said that he and his wife had the opportunity two weeks ago to observe the now va-

cant property. He said that while he doesn’t live in Cranbrook anymore, he and his family do visit on occasion and enjoy their time here.

Cranbrook Council’s pre-election ponderings ARNE PETRYSHEN

Cranbrook City council met on Monday night, as voters in the federal election cast their last-minute ballots. So of course the election was on everyone’s minds during the meeting, and mayor and council took the opportunity to give their thoughts on the election campaign.

Coun. Norma Blissett was first up.

“We all know today is election day,” Blissett said. “It is my hope that we see a record high voter turnout and that the will of the people be heard. I believe that most of us appreciate living in a democracy where we can vote and have our say in government.”

However, Blissett said she was concerned about the level of discourse seen in letters to the editor in the recent election campaign.

“Personal attacks on candidates are distasteful; reflect badly on the writer and our community,” she said.

ELECTION 2015

Chamber congratulates Stetski on election win

Kimberley mayor Don McCormick says election a mix of emotions and consequences for the region TOW N S M A N S TA F F

Reactions are starting to come in following the NDP’s victory in the riding of Kootenay Columbia.

The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce issued a congratulatory press release to

candidate Wayne Stetski on Tuesday morning, who unseated incumbent conservative David Wilks.

“I want to congratulate Mr. Stetski on his accomplishment at the polls,” said Chamber board chair Dave

Struthers. “The Chamber looks forward to working with Mr. Stetski as our representative in Ottawa.”

The Cranbrook Chamber, under the national Canadian Chamber network, took a role in the election by releas-

ing a platform focusing on accessibility to workforce, markets, capital and technology as key priorities for the next government.

“The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce is the vital connection between local

business and the federal government,” said David D. Hull, the Chamber Executive Director. “We will work with Mr. Stetski to advance our issues and positions in Ottawa.

B.C. welcomes Trudeau’s climate, infrastructure plan Tom Fle tcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark is emphasizing cooperation with the new Liberal government in Ottawa on climate change and infrastructure spending,

while avoiding comment on plans to run deficits and legalize marijuana.

Clark said Tuesday she is looking forward to having Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accompany premiers to Paris at

the end of November for the next United Nations climate conference.

Trudeau said Tuesday he is looking forward to changing Canada’s reputation as a “less than enthusiastic actor” on cli-

Baxter would be pleased Continued from page 1

“I would ask for a commemorative sign, plaque, or bench to be placed in the park to honour her and her dedicated service to the people and City of Cranbrook,” Baxter said.

Baxter said his family first moved to Cranbrook in 1904 from New Brunswick.

“My grandfather — and my Aunt Muriel’s father — was employed at that time with the King Lumber Co. in Cranbrook and was also a part-time game warden,” Baxter wrote. “Muriel was a member of a family that consisted of four daughters and one son, my father, Hedley. As a pioneering family the Baxters were very involved in the social, religious and educational formation of Cranbrook. Muriel was one of two daughters who did not marry — she devoted her life work to educating the youth of your great city, teaching there for many years and retiring as the superintendent of schools.”

Coun. Danielle Cardozo said she was very supportive of putting something in to memorialize Muriel such as a bench or benches.

Mayor Lee Pratt asked whether it was something the city would have to collaborate with the school district.

CAO Wayne Staudt said he didn’t

think so.

“It’s just a budget issue,” Staudt said. “But I’d like to suggest that we were thinking of a name for the new dog park.”

Staudt said with the family’s blessing they would consider naming it in her honour.

“There was some concern addressed to me from the school district that that may not be appropriate, but I think once they see this letter, they will be much more supportive of us calling the park after the Baxter family,” Staudt said.

Baxter also noted his family, some of which also lives in the Creston area, was very pleased when they learned that the city had decided to dedicate a school in Muriel’s honour. They were later disappointed about its eventual closing in 2002 and its subsequent destruction by fire in 2008.

Baxter said his family has also always had a close connection with the animal community of Cranbrook, noting his grandfather the game warden and also his late brother — John Bruce Baxter. John left a sizeable amount of money to the Cranbrook SPCA, despite spending most of his life in North Vancouver and Calgary.

mate policy, but he wants provinces to take the lead.

Clark said B.C. will outline its “Climate 2.0” plan before leaving, and it will add to the carbon tax on fossil fuels with measures aimed at the “built environment” and other ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Trudeau’s infrastructure plan is in “complete alignment” with B.C.’s efforts to grow the economy,

with BC Hydro alone spending $2.5 billion a year over the next decade, Clark said.

She sidestepped a question on Trudeau’s deficit plans, noting that a prime minister has to govern for all provinces and B.C. is “an outlier” with operating budget surpluses and projected growth.

Clark was even more cautious with Trudeau’s plans to legalize and regulate marijuana, as Vancouver and other

cities grapple with unregulated medical pot dispensaries.

“If and when they make changes, we’ll work with them to make sure that the changes can be effective in B.C.,” she said.

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan shrugged off his federal party’s big setback in the federal election, consoling himself with an increase of two NDP MPs in B.C. The NDP’s Gord Johns won the new rid-

ing of Courtney-Alberni, defeating long-time Conservative MP John Duncan for an NDP sweep of Vancouver Island, except for Green Party leader Elizabeth May in Saanich-Gulf Islands.

“I’m also delighted that the country voted for change in massive numbers,” Horgan said.

“And that’s good news for me as well, because in 2017 there’s going to be a desire for change.”

Council on comments Continued from page 1 “They really are an assault on democracy. They discourage good people from getting involved in politics, and I think we can all agree that we need intelligent thoughtful people to run for office.”

Blissett said it’s important to have a choice in every election.

“The behaviour of some adults would indicate that they really don’t think anyone else should run other than their chosen candidate,” she said.

Blissett then thanked all of the candidates running in the marathon election.

“I know it’s not easy to run,” she said. “It’s hard to be so out in public.

And it’s a huge amount of work, and for many of the candidates there is no pay. So thank you Wayne Stetski, David Wilks, Bill Green and Don Johnston for stepping up for the benefit of Kootenay Columbia.”

Mayor Lee Pratt said Blissett’s comment was well said.

Coun. Danielle Cardozo said the election has been on her mind as well.

She responded to Blissett’s comment.

“I think yes, you know what, there are some inappropriate conversations that are had, but one thing that I love, and no matter how heated it seems to get, as long as it’s about the issues, I

think it’s great the conversations that are had,” Cardozo said. “The Facebook posts — I know some people are so sick of it, seeing Facebook posts and hearing people’s opinions. But it wasn’t that long ago, for women in particular, that we weren’t allowed to have those opinions, those conversations, and discuss who we were going to vote for.”

Cardozo said there are people who still don’t have that option and can’t discuss those things.

“As long as it doesn’t become personal attacks, I love it,” she said.

“With this election being so long…

I’m exhausted personally,” Coun.

Isaac Hockley said, adding he could only imagine what it was like for the candidates. “I’m excited, you know, the youth definitely got out to vote and I’m excited to see those numbers come back.”

Mayor Pratt agreed that it has been a long election campaign.

“I paid way more attention to this election campaign then my own,” Pratt said, referring to the municipal election.

“I’m looking forward to tomorrow when it’s over and seeing what the result is,” he said at the meeting. “Hopefully it’s good for the country and good for Cranbrook.”

$4,000 raised for caregivers S ub m i t t e d

For one night, the Heritage Inn became a scene from the ‘40s. Featuring the smooth music stylings of the Noteables, the 2015 event was an evening to remember!

Aggie who sadly passed away on February 11, 2015, was honored throughout the evening and the event was organized by her son Kevin Dunk. It was a magical evening, with a spirited expression of community feeling.

Aggie was really looking out for us as the venue was filled with people eager to get moving on the dance floor and support a good cause. There were refreshments, door prizes, and live

music helping organizers pass the evening successfully.

“Major kudos to all of the musicians for some really fabulous entertainment — and a huge thank you to the unstoppable organizing committee, the generous door prize donors, and the volunteers. Thank you as well to Bud Abbott and Louise Stropky for being such entertaining MC’s for the evening. It truly takes a village to make an event such as this come together so well,” stated Patricia Whalen, Assistant Executive Director for EKFH. When all was said and done — and the beans counted — the 2015 Aggie’s Fall Fling was undoubtedly a roaring success, $4,000 was raised to support

caregivers by providing patient comforts or to help bring in and deliver educational programs for caregivers and their families.

“I couldn’t be happier with the response to this event,” said Kevin Dunk Chair, Aggie’s Fall Fling. “Attendance was fantastic; the audience enthusiastic, the caliber of the performances were exceptional. The money raised will go a long way toward supporting Cranbrook Caregivers.”

Third Party Event Fundraising — whether large or small — can have a big impact. If you are considering organizing an event for EKFH, you can contact ~ Patricia Whalen, Assistant Executive Director at 250-420-2203 or visit www.ekfh.ca.

Local expertise sought in Tanzanian project Submit ted

College of the Rockies welcomed four visitors from Tanzania from October 5 to 14, 2015.

Mr. John Kengese, President of Mwanza Regional Vocational Training and Service Centre, Mrs. Hildegardis Bitegera, Vocational and Education Training Authority of Tanzania, Mr. Julian Sowani, Senior Vocational Instructor and Mr. Edwin Temu, Vocational Instructor came to draw on the College’s experience in connecting with industry and government.

The College was selected in March to lead a Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) project, in partnership with Camosun College and Mwanza Regional Vocational Training and Ser-

The Tanzainian contingent plans to use what they learned during their visit to research the appropriate labour market information needed to revise their current heavy duty mechanic curriculum, making it more relevant to industry needs.

Mayor will do business with MP Continued from page 1 The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce thanked MP David Wilks for his over four years of dedication and service to the people of Cranbrook and the riding.

“Mr. Wilks was a very good MP. Always accessible and very understanding of Chamber’s work to build business and the community.” said Hull.

Kimberley mayor Don McCormick said the election was a mix of emotions and consequences for the region in what was one of the most hotly-contested ridings in the country.

“Whenever you get a close race like that — congratulations to the winner, in this case, Wayne Stetski, but also when it’s an incumbent that gets beat, it’s time to recognize that Dave Wilks took four years of his life to represent the riding and for that we’re very appreciative,” McCormick said.

Regardless of a Conservative or NDP win, whomever came out on to of the Kootenay-Columbia results would not be serving a party that formed government, McCormick added.

“We are not going to have an MP that is part of a sitting government and I think for the riding, that is probably the biggest disappointment that I have,” McCormick said.

“It’s no secret that you really need to have a Member of Parliament, or an MLA at the provincial level—whomever your representative is—having them as a member of the sitting government means a whole lot better things for the riding.”

However, that being said, McCormick is eager to get down to business with Stetski and advocate for Kimberley’s municipal issues and priorities.

Cranbrook Mayor Lee Pratt did not respond to requests for comment.

Many years from now …

Will Harper’s conservative footprint endure, or soon be washed away?

S

Jim Brons kil l Canadian Press

tephen Harper came to office almost a decade ago with the goal of making Canada more conservative and dispelling the notion of the Liberals as the natural governing party.

He steadily began chipping away at socially minded programs and institutions, introduced wave upon wave of hard-nosed criminal justice legislation and touted symbols that evoked a time when government played less of a role in daily life.

Harper has suffered a crushing electoral loss to Justin Trudeau — the son of a Liberal prime minister who fostered and embodied much of what the Conservative leader loathed in Canada’s public life.

Will the conservative footprint Harper leaves be visible many years from now, or will it be washed away by the tide of change the younger Trudeau has promised?

A definitive answer may take years. But there’s an early sense that even a prime minister as strong-willed and disci-

plined as Harper cannot impose his agenda if most Canadians are unwilling to accept it.

Harper “mucked around” with institutions but “all of that can be rebuilt,” said Michael Behiels, who teaches history at the University of Ottawa.

Harper’s only enduring legacy will be the successful unification of the political right under the Conservative banner — an effort that has secured a consistent base of about 30-percent support, said Behiels.

As for what he did with that power, critics long attacked Harper for deliberately working to undermine, muzzle or outright scrap institutions that irked party faithful who saw them as unduly intrusive or otherwise contrary to conservative values.

It meant funding cuts to the CBC and legal funding for women and minorities, the scrapping of the think-tank Rights and Democracy and the end of the long-form census.

The Conservatives passed laws with mandatory minimum sentences and new restrictions — legislation that sometimes ran smack into the

Stephen Harper Charter of Rights and Freedoms ushered in by the late Pierre Trudeau.

Several Harper policies will be remembered for the lack of evidence-based decision-making underpinning them, said Adrian.

During his tenure, Harper also promoted time-honoured symbols that resonated with his fabled base of core supporters.

The word “Royal” was restored to military branches, a portrait of the Queen was installed in the lobby of the For-

eign Affairs building and the monarch’s diamond jubilee was marked with special awards.

Millions of dollars were spent commemorating Canada’s role in the War of 1812, a sound-and-light show presented to tourists on Parliament Hill emphasized the country’s combat history and Canada’s military effort in Libya was celebrated with an elaborate ceremony.

Harper also seized opportunities to honour Conservative forbears John Diefenbaker and Sir John A. Macdonald and his government backed a privately sponsored effort to build a monument to the victims of Communism in the shadow of the Supreme Court building.

At the same time, Harper failed to deliver the Senate reforms many supporters craved.

None of his prime ministerial initiatives come close to equalling the fundamental change the senior Trudeau effected through patriation of the Constitution and introduction of the charter, said Behiels.

“Nothing,” he said. “Absolutely nothing.”

It happened this week in Cranbrook Week October 18 - 24 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1902 Stop thief … Last Monday evening, while Joseph Brault, proprietor of the Canadian hotel was at dinner with his family, someone entered his bed room and secured over $600 in cash and checks. The money was in a long tin box with other papers, and had been placed upon the bed during the dinner hour. There was a window in the room left open at the time, and when Mr. Brault returned he discovered his loss. Information was given at once to the authorities, and an investigation instituted. The box was of such a size that it hardly seemed possible that anyone would have attempted to carry it off that time in the evening, for fear of being seen.

The premises and stables were thoroughly searched but no trace of any kind was found.

The loss is a heavy one, and Mr. Brault has the sympathy of the people in his misfortune. In all probability the theft was committed by someone familiar with Mr. Brault’s habits, and had kept his eyes open for the opportunity, and when it arrived took advantage of it. Yesterday the tin box was found in the swamp back of the tenderloin district. It was cut open

and all the contents taken. W. I. McMaster, who was employed on the C. P. R., but lately doing nothing, was taken into custody as a suspect. He stoutly disclaimed any knowledge of the theft, but was locked up in jail

by Constable Morris.

Nearly cut his arm off ...

Tuesday afternoon Hank Eller nearly cut an arm off a man known as -‘Deafy’ Campbell, in Kimberley. Campbell’s dog was fighting with Eller’s, when the latter thought his canine was getting the worst of it. He took a pick handle and tried to separate them. Campbell would not stand for it, and grasping the pick handle, jerked it away from Eller. It is said that some bystander at this juncture cried, “Hit him with the axe, Hank,” and suiting the action of the word Eller grabbed an axe nearby and made a lunge at Campbell. It was impossible for Campbell to get away and he threw up one arm receiving the force of the blow. The two bones in the fore arm were cut clear through, but this without a doubt saved Campbell’s head. Dr. Harvey was in town and dressed the wound and the man was brought down on the train and placed in the hospital. No arrests were made.

Made a sale … It is a good thing now and then to stir up the subscribers to a newspaper.

We did that last week and in less than five days we collected $1.50 on subscriptions.

Fish stock … The shipment

of black bass from the government hatchery at Ottawa arrived here Wednesday. The shipment was made in three barrels. Two of the barrels contained two fish each. These were about six inches long, but one was dead, however. The remaining barrel contained about 25 live minnows and about 18 dead ones. The fish were taken to the upper Moyie Lake and turned loose near the month of Lamb creek.

An interesting contest ...

To-day, (Thursday) at 2 p m, a wager of $200 a side between Mr. Ryan, of Kimberley, and Tom Wellman, of this city, will be decided on the prairie north of town. Mr. Ryan says he can take 2,240 feet of rope, tie a 200 pound sack of sand at the end of it, and with one horse pull it.

Mr. Wellman says it can’t be done. Hence the contest.

1903 Buy locally … We happened to be at the railway station one day this week when the east bound train came in, and noticed that nearly a truck load of Eaton bundles were put off for Cranbrook people. The catalogue habit is strong with the average woman, and there are some who prefer to pick out ten cents worth of tape and five cents worth of hooks and eyes and send for them rather than patronize the home merchant.

Cranbrook is growing, but if everybody here sent to eastern houses for all they used, Baker Street would be a cow pasture and the sidewalks would be used as roofs for gophers and owls. It is a poor way to build up a town, especially when you have merchants who are doing their best to promote the welfare of the community by keeping the best of stocks and selling at fair margins.

What will real change look like?

Monday’s election was nothing short of historic, both locally and federally.

From a local perspective, it’s the first time in 22 years that an NDP candidate will be representing the Kootenay-Columbia region, wresting control from the Conservatives (and the former Reform Party), which had held various iterations of the riding since 1993.

According to preliminary results from Elections Canada, Wayne Stetski, running for the NDP, won by a razor-thin margin of 285 votes over Conservative incumbent David Wilks.

If the numbers stand, Stetski will have captured 23,529 votes out of 63,203 ballots cast by registered electors — good for 37.2 per cent of the vote.

According to Elections Canada rules, the margin is not thin enough to warrant a judicial recount, which would require the two closest candidates to be closer than one one-thousandth of total votes cast.

From here on in, it’s important to acknowledge a few things.

First, congratulations to all the candidates —Stetski, Wilks, Don Johnston and Bill Green — for having the courage to put their names forward to run. That is no easy task.

To Stetski, congratulations on running a successful campaign to become the Member of Parliament-elect for the Kootenay-Columbia riding and all the best moving forward.

To Wilks, thank you for your years of service to Kootenay-Columbia residents and for representing the riding’s interests in Ottawa as our Member of Parliament for the last four years.

Though preliminary results are in, the validation won’t be confirmed till next week, which will show how Kootenay-Columbia residents voted in communities/ sub-regions across the riding.

From a national perspective, nobody predicted the red tide that swept across the country, as Stephen Harper’s Conservatives lost their majority and are relegated to the Official Opposition for the first time since 2006.

The Liberals won 184 seats, the Conservatives won 99, the NDP won 44, the Bloc Quebecois won 10 and the Green Party won a single seat.

Polling, which seems to be coming more and more obsolete, had the NDP in the lead at the start of the campaign, followed by the Conservatives, followed by the LibTrevor erals.

Crawley So much for relying on that data.

Still, no poll called for a Liberal majority led by Justin Trudeau, which is what the country will have for at least the next four years, or until another election is called.

For the Conservatives, it was a disastrous election, as the party, which had previously governed with two minorities in the House of Commons, finally received their wish for a majority in 2011 in the fallout from the Great Recession.

However, they never did anything substantiative with it.

From a national perspective, Harper’s re-election strategy seemed to consist of belittling personal attacks on Trudeau — “nice hair, though”— and NDP leader Tom Mulcair.

Harper attempted to appeal to Islamophobes by raising the wedge issue of the the niqab, which obviously did not resonate with Canadians, and criticized the Liberal fiscal plan of going into deficit, despite running seven deficits during his nine years in government, which smacked of hypocrisy.

Elections are a time of hope, where people feel they can have a direct say in the future of their country. Instead of attacking fellow party leaders, Harper

should’ve framed his campaign on why he deserved to be re-elected.

What was the Conservative vision for the future? What would four more years of a Conservative government look like for Canadians?

Instead of Harper defending his economic record and offering a vision of the future, voters got nothing but cheesy attack ads, which isn’t good enough to deserve another term.

Following his concession speech, a press release announced his intention to fall on his sword and resign as party leader, which is the right thing to do because the Conservatives are sorely in need of some new blood and fresh ideas.

Federally, the NDP, quite frankly, were crushed. The Orange Wave of 2011 massively receded mostly due to Liberal gains in Quebec. Despite the result, Tom Mulcair has pledged to stay on as party leader.

Finally, if there’s one thing that was extremely disappointing about the election, it was the fact that the big media consortiums were already calling for a Liberal government before polls even closed in B.C. It’s disconcerting that voters in the West can know what the likely outcome is before they’ve even cast a ballot.

There used to be a blackout law within the Elections Act, however, the Conservatives lifted the ban in 2011 in response to the rise of social media, as results were being distributed on site such as Facebook and Twitter.

Social media has let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, but it’ll be tough to legislate a solution to prevent eastern results from reaching a B.C. audience.

However, B.C. was the potential kingmaker for a Liberal majority government which needed 170 seats. With the B.C. polls closing the latest, the Grits picked up 17 seats in the province—a gain from only two in the 2011 election.

Whether that translates into Real Change will be up for debate.

Ice fall short in comeback bid against Pats Kootenay Ice push but can’t erase three-goal deficit Tuesday night at Western Financial Place

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

There are plenty of questions to be asked when it comes to the Kootenay Ice these days.

But one question that can’t reasonably be asked is, “Did they battle right to the bitter end?”

Once again, the Ice (2-10-0-0) battled Tuesday night. Despite their best efforts to erase a three-goal deficit, the Regina Pats (6-5-0-0) held on for a 3-2 victory at Western Financial Place.

“We continued to push — our main identity as a team this year is to show lots of work ethic,” said Kootenay Ice forward Austin Wellsby Tuesday night. “I think we showed that towards the end of the game.”

Tuesday night saw Wellsby skate alongside winger Zak Zborosky and centre Luke Philp on the top line, which accounted for all of the home team’s offense in the loss.

“It shows a lot of character, not giving up on the game like that,” Zborosky said Tuesday night. “Knowing we can do that and not giving up, it’s good.

“We just have to sharpen up on a few things in the defensive zone and limit a couple turnovers here and there. But all in all, you take from the game that we outshot them, we had a good work ethic and we showed a lot of positives.”

After Pats forward Riley Woods scored 1:16 into the third period, the

Ice trailed 3-0 in the final period of regulation. It was Zborosky who gave the hosts life and got them on the scoreboard shortly after.

Zborosky had been buzzing around the net all night, creating scoring opportunities right form the first drop of the puck. Following up on a point shot, the native of Regina found a loose puck in the crease of Pats goaltender Daniel Wapple, finding a way to shove it home.

“We continued to push -- our main identity as a team this year is to show lots of work ethic.”

Austin Wellsby Kootenay Ice With time winding down in the game, a struggling Ice power play (22nd in the WHL) went to work and veteran Luke Philp was able to convert to pull his team within one. It was the first time the Ice power play was able to cash in since former forward Jon Martin tallied with the man advantage Oct. 3 against the Lethbridge Hurricanes.

“I think we were moving around a little bit more, not being so stationary,” Zborosky said of the man advantage. “We were just shooting pucks when we could and getting pucks on net and creating chances.”

Starting goaltender Declan Hobbs was

Steel tallied a goal and an assist to help Regina to a 3-2 victory over Kootenay. pulled in favour of the extra attacker with 1:01 to play, but the Pats staved off any final push to claim the two points.

When the final buzzer rang, Wellsby had collected two assists, registering the first multipoint game of his WHL career.

The sophomore forward is relishing a much greater opportunity in Cranbrook this season.

After scoring one goal in 35 games last season, the native of Chilliwack, B.C., has already tallied a goal and three points in 12 games to start 2015-16.

“It’s definitely a boost

in confidence to my game play,” Wellsby said.

“Those two [Zborosky

and Philp] are good players and I have to continue to play my game and try not to change too much. I know they’re skill guys but I still have to win battles and create

space for them.”

The Ice and Pats battled back and forth to a scoreless result in the opening 20 minutes.

Zborosky fed Philp late in the period and with an open lane to the net, the 19-year-old pivot found a way to beat Wapple, but not the iron as the puck stayed out.

Shortly after, Pats centre Adam Brooks steamed the other direction before beating Hobbs, only to ring the puck off the crossbar.

The Pats eventually took a 2-0 lead in the second period after centre Colton Kroeker, on the power play, and

centre Sam Steel were able to beat Hobbs. By the end of the night, the rookie netminder had made 27 stops in a losing cause.

At the other end of the rink, Wapple was kept busy as the Ice put 39 pucks in on the Regina net. The Pats puck-stopper was up to the task, turning aside 37 shots.

The Ice get back to it Friday night when they host the Saskatoon Blades.

TORONTO - The Kansas City Royals hammered R.A. Dickey early then feasted on Toronto’s depleted bullpen, pushing the Blue Jays to the brink of playoff elimination with a 14-2 victory in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series.

The Royals now lead the best-of-seven series 3-1 and can move on to the World Series with a

win tomorrow afternoon at Rogers Centre.

Dickey was saddled with the loss in the shortest start in Jays post-season history after being shelled for five runs, four earned, over 1 2/3 innings.

The veteran knuckleballer gave up a pair of home runs among his four hits - a two-run homer to Ben Zobrist in Kansas City’s four-run first and a solo shot to former Jay Alex Rios in

the second.

After Toronto’s Liam Hendriks pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief, the Royals started beating up the Jays again in the seventh. LaTroy Hawkins loaded the bases with none out, and reliever Ryan Tepera couldn’t get out the jam as Kansas City scored four runs to go up 9-2.

Tepera was tagged for three more runs in the eighth as fans made their way toward the exits.

The Jays’ bullpen was so bare that Cliff Pennington had to come on to pitch with two on and two out in the top on the ninth, making him the first exclusively position player to pitch in a post-season game according to ESPN. Pennington gave up back-to-back singles, resulting in two more K.C. runs, before Zobrist mercifully popped out to catcher Russell Martin.

Notes: The Ice went without D Cale Fleury (upper body), D Tyler King (knee), RW Jaedon Descheneau (upper body) and RW Max Patterson (upper body) once again… Tuesday was a family affair at Western Financial Place as Hobbs went head to head with older brother and Pats defenceman Connor Hobbs… Pats C Sam Steel recorded a goal and an assist…

Take some time to visit a family

member. Tonight: Make plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be touchy and difficult, especially when dealing with a partner or loved one.

One-on-one relating adds dimension to each issue, but it points to a resolution as well.

You are more upbeat than you are letting others know. Why? Tonight: With a favorite person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others might come on so strong that you’ll want to take a step back. Other seem to be ready to add their own ideas to project of yours. Use caution with your finances, and don’t overspend.

Your imagination seems to be working overtime. You could be tired from an emotional situation that you are choosing not to discuss. Nevertheless, whether you are aware of it, this matter could cause distance between you and a loved one. Tonight: Act on a whim.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might need to take a much-needed break from a situation. If you don’t, you are likely to blow up sooner or later. Zero in on a friend’s request. You will become very popular, even if you just respond with only this person’s request in mind. Tonight: Not to be found.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have the ability to move through problems faster than many people. You tend isolate yourself when you’re working through a hassle. A friendship plays a big role in your decisions.

A person you look up to could cop quite an attitude. Tonight: Make it your treat.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are capable of wheeling and dealing. You might be very

busy as you attempt to execute a plan. Touch base with someone at a distance. The conversation the two of you have could be very caring. Express your feelings and listen carefully. Tonight: Indulge a friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The Moon in your sign puts you in the spotlight. Others naturally follow your lead. One-on-one relating will save you time and get you better results. You need to know where others are coming from. A close loved one supports you 100 percent. Tonight: Decide what you want to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be working through several issues in your head. One group of thoughts could involve a boss or parent. One-on-one relating allows greater connection and caring. Others demonstrate their support, especially a close loved one. Tonight: Don’t push yourself too hard.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: It has been more than 30 years since I first received my diagnosis of depression and anxiety disorder.

While working in a job I didn’t enjoy and anticipating the birth of my first child, I realized something wasn’t right about me.

I had moments when I was filled with selfdoubt and anxiety. One day, while doing a seemingly benign task at work, I went into a devastating and negative spiral and started obsessing about the likelihood of losing my job. At the urging of my wife, I sought professional help. I later learned I was prone to catastrophizing, or attaching grave consequences to unimportant events.

I have worked hard, with the support of my family, to find the most appropriate and effective treatment. While I still experience periodic setbacks, overall, I have responded well and have found a therapist who helped me identify and cope with my triggers.

Stigma is a very real factor when it comes to depression, and so many who share my illness, especially men, grapple with this in silence. My own experience has inspired me to help others and embark on a new journey as a writer. I want to share my story to let others know that depression is treatable and help is available.

October is Depression Awareness Month -- the perfect opportunity to seek help for the first time. If you are worried about yourself or a loved one, please visit HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org to take an anonymous self-assessment for depression.

At the website, you will learn more about the illness and available treatment options in your area. -- Michael Rafferty Dear Michael: Thank you for your honesty and desire to help others who suffer from depression and anxiety. Readers, please visit HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org to learn more.

Dear Annie: I know the younger generation likes to do things the easy way, but where do proper manners end and just plain laziness and the “gimme” attitude begin?

We received a postcard invitation from a newly married couple stating that they could not hold a real housewarming party, so they were inviting us to a virtual housewarming party. The invitation included where they were registered for gifts.

I thought about copying and pasting a photo from the registry and emailing it with a note saying, “Your virtual gift is attached.”

But I didn’t think they would understand that a real gift would not be forthcoming, so I did not respond at all.

Should I have sent a real one? -- Thought My Granddaughter Knew Better Dear Thought: How nice that the couple can’t be bothered to entertain anyone or show them their new home (even a virtual tour), but they expect everyone to send presents anyway. We know some people would have done just that, and as a grandmother, you might have chosen to send them a gift for their new home even if they had not had a “housewarming” at all.

But we agree that this type of invitation is pretty tacky. And what’s more depressing is that your granddaughter is not the only one doing it. But we love your idea of a virtual gift for a virtual housewarming. Maybe if enough people responded that way, these ridiculous invitations would cease.

Karla from The Playpen donated $4500.00 to the East Kootenay BCSPCA. She also donated over $1000 towards medical costs for one of the SPCA’s dogs. The money was raised through a massive garage sale in September that she spearheaded along with a small group of dedicated volunteers. The funds will go a long ways in helping out the East Kootenay’s neglected and homeless animals.

It happened this week …

2100-17th St N, Cranbrook (17th St N & Theatre Rd)

Look out for fires ... Now that winter is coming on every resident of Cranbrook should take special pains to prevent fires. Especially is this the case in the business district. The town is rapidly building up, and the danger from fires is greater than ever before. People should be cautious about stove pipes, and allowing waste paper to accumulate. And in this connection it might be well to suggest that the superintendent of the Electric Light company see that all the wires of the company are properly protected, as many disastrous conflagrations have been caused by carelessness in this respect. Cranbrook is in great danger at the present time in the business district, owing to a bunch of Chinamen opening laundries on Armstrong Avenue. No human being on earth is as reckless regarding danger from fire, as a Chinaman, and property owners should be careful about taking them as tenants, especially where the whole town is endangered by their carelessness.

What a hunter … We heard a good story about a local divine, and right here we want to emphatically state that we don’t propose to mention any names, because we promised we wouldn’t.

It was this minister’s fortune, good or bad, to be invited to Sirdar to take a duck hunt, and it was his fortune again to find a fine bunch of five ducks feeding next to the shore. Slipping cautiously through the brush, it was

his fortune after great exertion to get within close range, and after two or three shots, it was his further good fortune to kill the five.

They were fine ones, and by the aid of a pole he pulled them to shore and returned to the car a proud and happy man. But how the tale turned. A few minutes later an irate Englishman arrived on the scene and announced in thunderous tones that the five ducks the minister had bagged were an extra fine breed that he had raised out of seventeen eggs imported at great cost, Naturally the minister was humiliated, but paid a good price for the ducks and in this way settled the matter, “Fortune favors the brave but not always the energetic nimrod.”

Sued for damages ... The Nelson News says that a suit has been filled by Mr. Savage for damages against Geary & Doyle, the Cranbrook livery men. Savage hired a horse from the defendants some time ago and drove it to Moyie. The horse was put in the stable at Moyie and next morning was found dead, whereupon Geary & Doyle had the present plaintiff arrested alleging that the death of the animal was due to his ill treatment of the horse and that he had driven it furiously over bad roads and neglected to give it food or attention. Savage figures that the arrest and prosecution put him $5,000 to the bad and he wants to recover this amount from Geary & Doyle.

BOARD OF TRADE ... Cranbrook’s growth the past six

months has been of a nature that warrants a strong and energetic organization of business men to look after many matters of importance to the welfare of the town and the district. There has been a board of trade in Cranbrook for some years, but at present it seems to have dropped into a state of innocuous desuetude.

What Cranbrook needs at this time is a live organization, one that will meet regularly and be heartily supported by the people.

Two or three men cannot make a success of a board of trade. It takes the united effort of the people to make any organization of this kind a benefit to the community, and that it is what should follow without delay. The matter should receive the early attention of the people, and The Herald trusts that the board of trade will be re-organized and become a tower of strength for great good to the community.

Oops … In some manner not yet explained, engine 85, while standing in the round house last Sunday, suddenly started forward and broke through the doors and landed in the turntable pit. Whether it was caused by maliciousness on the part of someone, or due to carelessness of an employee is not known, The engine was badly damaged.

Fix the street … The Herald would like to see the government fix up Baker street before winter sets in. The south side of the street is a disgrace to the community.
