Businesses join cities in new initiative
A R N E P E T RYS H E N
A new economic development initiative hopes to attract industry to Cranbrook and Kimberley by market-
ing directly to them. Mayor Lee Pratt explained the Cranbrook-Kimberley Development Initiative at council on Monday.
The initiative brings together not only the City of Cranbrook and City of Kimberley, but also invites the business community to provide
input. The initiative was on the agenda of the Oct. 27 joint council meeting between the two cities. Pratt noted that he
and Kimberley Mayor Don McCormick started talking in November 2014 prior to the election and agreed that if they both were elected
they would work together. “We didn’t know each other, we introduced ourselves, hit it off, got along really good and decided if we were lucky enough to get elected we were definitely going to try
and work together,” Pratt said, adding they are both on the same page of whatever is good for Cranbrook is good for Kimberley and vice-versa.

Schools get funding for upgrades TREVOR CRAWLEY

The iconic 1935 Ford truck was lifted from its spot on the Williams Moving and Storage building to get a tuneup and refresh, on Tuesday afternoon. See more, Page 2.
Five schools in Cranbrook will benefit from nearly $1 million in funding from the provincial government to upgrade facilities and reduce energy consumption. Laurie Middle School, Mount Baker Secondary School, Amy Woodlands Elementary School, and Steeples Elementary School and
Pinewood Elementary School will all be getting some kind of upgrades, which is an additional funding supplement to annual capital dollars from the province Every year, SD5 gets roughly $1.3 million dollars for an Annual Facilities Grant which goes towards building maintenance and upgrades.

Elko Station the last of its kind BARRY COULTER
An architectural and heritage gem of the East Kootenay has been through some tough times, but is proving to be tough in its own right. The venerable Elko Station, sitting at the corner of Van Horne Street and King Street in Cranbrook, has a new lease of life and is moving towards rejuvenation, thanks to the efforts of the Cranbrook Archives Museums and Landmarks Foundation (CAMAL). Mike Balfour, on the
board of CAMAL, said the Elko station — a Crowsnest B type — is the only one of its kind left in North America. It was assembled in 1901, from a kit shipped to Elko, and moved to Cranbrook in 1987. “The CPR surveyed its towns along the way to determine what kind of station was needed,” Balfour said. “They said Elko needed a Class B — each piece was numbered and sent out, and assembled there in 1901.” The 2,000 square foot
building was moved the 54 miles Cranbrook 86 years later, by road, itself quite an operation. Balfour said the highway was closed to traffic at the time, and power lines had to be removed to make room. The station was set on the existing foundation of another ancient building at its current location. Once in Cranbrook, it served as the first headquarters for the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel (now the Canadian History Centre), and subsequently as of-
fice space. It sat empty since 2001. The low point for the building came in 2012, when it was set on fire. “What saved the building was the insulation,” Balfour said. Still, extensive fire damage occurred to the outdoor siding and windows, and the smoke damage was also quite severe, especially on the second floor. Pigeons were able to occupy the premises after the fire, and the guano was thick.

1935 Ford will move again (in parades) The 1935 moving truck that sits on top of Williams Moving and Storage is getting a new lease on life. On Tuesday afternoon it was lifted off by a heavy duty crane so that it can be given a refresh. Cory Stepney, manager and owner of Williams Moving and Storage (Cranbrook) Ltd said that they purchased the truck in 1990. They built the box and turned it into a vintage moving truck. “Now we’re bringing it down to redo it and make it look nice again,” he said.
The truck has been up there for at least 20 years. He said the first couple years it was put up and taken down relatively often. “We bought it as an antique just to use it as a replica of what they use to use,” he said. “Over the years, the weather has just taken its toll on it, so it’s time to take it down and redo it.” He said the plan is to get started on the restoration over the winter and have it completed by the spring. “We’ll use it for parades and things like that and then probably put it on the roof again,” he said.

spiration. As might be expected, the show has taken on a life of its own, and though we’ve maintained the central theme of an optimistic chap overcoming adversity, it’s become a little bit absurd as well. It’s kind of like Buster Keaton and Samuel Beckett went to the pub and then dropped in on a room full of high school drama kids and asked if they wanted to join in on their theatre project. And then left. We’re in a really good place with the show’s

We’ve just finished the middle. The middle of the rehearsal process (in my experience and speaking only for myself) can often be the most challenging. It’s far enough from the beginning, which is exciting because everyone is game to start a new project and it’s fun to meet new people, etc., etc. It’s far off from the end, too, where it all becomes real and “Omigod, there’s so much to DO.” But the middle . . . that’s when attendance at rehearsals can be sporadic and the work can seem like . . . work. We’re through that now, and with weeks to go, we’re on the home stretch. My dear friend and colleague Frank Hackett came to rehearsal last week and gave the show a gander. He gave us some excellent, detailed feedback which we’ll use to rehearse and polish what we’ve got. And what have we got?

Business on board with council initiatives Continued from page 1 Since they were both elected they went ahead with the plan. “So we came up with an economic development strategy, basically it’s going to be called a Cranbrook-Kimberley Development Initiative,” Pratt said. “We did a little bit of a different approach to what has
been happening in the past, which most people don’t feel as been successful, or hasn’t been productive.” Pratt said they decided that they would get the business communities of Cranbrook and Kimberley involved as well. He noted that Rick Jensen, Neal Muth
and Greg Deck from Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) heard about the initiative. “They got wind of it so they asked us for a meeting, we had a luncheon with them and they were quite excited that we were willing to work together,” Pratt said. As a result they had a second meeting
between Rick Jenson and the two mayors. Jensen also represents New Dawn Developments, as well as his vice-president position at CBT. “We called a meeting and the three of us got together.” On Oct. 28 they met with businesses. They invited 70 businesses
the market and sell the region. “We’re looking to attract industry into town to create jobs and keep our youth here — and good paying jobs we’re looking for,” Pratt said. As a result of that we managed to raise a considerable amount of money and right now we’re in discussions with a couple other groups that could possible match dollars with us. If that happens we’re going to have a
and Pratt said about 65 attended. Of those, 31 are already onboard with the initiative. “Our target is 50,” Pratt said. Pratt said they are asking businesses to invest in the strategy of economic development, so that the initiative has some money to work with to go out into
Schools get capital upgrades funding Continued from page 1
However, there was another province-wide infusion of $20 million, which is where the new dollars are coming from, according to Rob Norum, the SD5 Secretary-Treasurer. The smaller projects, such as the ones in the elementary schools, shouldn’t take too long to complete, but the LMS and MBSS projects need to go out for bids. “We’re hoping to get everything done by the end of March, but I think some of the bigger jobs are obviously going to go
past that and near the end of June before some of those bigger jobs are done,” Norum added. Projects include: • Laurie Middle School: Replace engineered rooftop air handling unit and repair roof. Cost: $434,900. A new unit will improve air quality and efficiency. Improvements will improve the quality of airflow and circulation within the school as well as the efficiency of the system. • Mount Baker Secondary: Acquisition of
two heating water boilers and circulatory pumps. Cost: $368,000. New boilers will be more efficient and replace eight boiler modules with two. Improvements will improve the efficiency of the system. • Pinewood Elementary/Amy Woodland Elementary/Steeples Elementary: Gas-fired air handling, furnace, heat pumps. Cost: $143,750. Pinewood: replace two rooftop air-handling units that serve the existing gymnasium. These units are 15 years old and are at the end of
their service life. Amy Woodland: replace five units that are 24 years old and are beyond their service life. Steeples: replace two existing rooftop gas-fired heat pumps that serve corner classrooms. These units are 23 years old and are beyond their expected service life. “These capital upgrades will make our schools more comfortable and efficient,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “It’s great news for Cranbrook that our government is spending close to $1 million to
make these improvements that will extend the life of these schools.” Every year, boards of education submit plans to the Ministry of Education that include details on school building priorities in their school district, and the B.C. government allocates an overall capital budget for schools across the province.
sizeable amount of money to carry on with and get working on marketing and sales directly to some of these businesses that we’re hoping to attract here.” Pratt said people are keen to get something happening in Cranbrook in terms of economic development and job creation. “So it was very positive and we’re looking forward to having some good success with that,” Pratt said.

Shift into Winter is a joint provincial initiative supported by organizations committed to improving the safety of drivers during the winter months. Every day, thousands of BC drivers and workers are at risk of being injured or killed while on the road. The risk increases significantly when winter weather makes roads more hazardous due to fog, rain, snow and ice. If you can, wait until the weather improves before getting in your car. The best way to stay safe on the roads during winter is to avoid driving when road and weather conditions are bad. Even an hour or two can make a big difference. Make sure your vehicle is winter ready, give yourself extra time to get to your destination, and carry an emergency survival kit.
EYE ON YOUR CITY Snow and Sanding Operations Businesses and residents can assist the City with snow removal and sanding operations in a number of ways: • Remove all unused vehicles, boats, trailers, etc. from the streets. • Remove snow and ice from sidewalks fronting their properties. • Park vehicles off City streets/ avenues while snow removal is in progress or when snow removal signage is in place. • Stay well back from sand trucks and plows. • Do not let children play on snow banks adjacent to roads and ensure they remain well away from snow removal equipment. • Do not place steel posts or rocks on boulevards as markers, these could cause damage to City vehicles and injury to City personnel. Anyone responsible for such installations will be held liable for any injury or damage caused.

One-of-a-kind station an East Kootenay jewel Continued from page 1

Preschoolers got the chance to hear some stories and hang out with their Kootenay Ice hockey heroes on Wednesday at the Cranbrook Public Library. Pictured above: Dylan Overdyk gets his turn narrating a short story to the kids in the Manual Training Centre.
CAMAL started its extensive repair operation shortly after the fire. The damaged fir siding had to be replaced — a sawmill in Gold Creek made it — and repainted. Sixteen windows were replaced. “It’s been a challenge, because the infrastructure is very old,” Balfour said.“We’re trying to restore to as close to the original as possible, not just repair.” The hardwood floors and the trim in the original freight room and waiting area must all be matched up when restored — but the wood has changed colour with age, for example. The building has had to be rewired, the fixtures checked and changed. Upstairs, where the original living quarters and office were, the smoke damaged carpet must be ripped out the walls repaired. New security and telephones systems are due to be installed. But the restoration and repair of the station

But most of the work has been done by volunteers and museum staff.” Private donations to help with the work have also come in from all over the region. Balfour said the longterm goal is to finish the work — April is the target date — and lease the space out to a client who will use the building and respect its im-
portant heritage status. Charlotte Murray, Executive Director of the Canadian History Centre, said the station is an important aspect of local history — Elko, Cranbrook and the whole region.”We want to find someone who will treat it like the jewel it is,” she added. “We’d love to see the community continue to be involved, and to come out and volunteer,” Balfour said. “And we’d love to talk about the station to anybody who wants more information.”

There was 20 cm of snow at the top of the Easter Run at Kimberley Alpine Resort this week.
Kimberley ski hill readies for season C A R O LYN G R A N T
There’s been a definite change in the weather this past week — a hint of frost, more than a hint of snow in the mountains — all indications that our long, beautiful fall is over and winter has arrived. However, snow on the hill means all thoughts turn to the coming ski season. Last winter was a bit difficult with Kimberley Alpine Resort staff making the most of a low snow year. But even with El Niño predicted to continue to affect weather patterns, hope springs eternal at the beginning of every season. The Resort is ready to start snow-making as the weather cools, but VP of Marketing for KAR’s parent company, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, Matt Mosteller, says that they are sensitive to the low-water issues still being experienced in Kimberley “We are working with the city to find best way to reduce water needs and as well we are in the process of starting up snow making,” Mosteller said. “It is of vital importance that we do everything we can to reduce and
manage the water resource respectfully and responsibly for best community interest. “We are also doing all we can to get Kimberley Alpine Resort ready for ski season and want to drive awareness for snow on the mountain so people can pre-book their vacation plans, as an important economic driver for our community and team.” On mountain conditions will be easier than ever to get this year with the new RCR Ski App. You will be able to check the weather conditions, snow report, mountain status updates and more.

BURMA
The Lady, the General, the Future
T
here are good generals in Burma — that is, generals who are not too corrupt, not too brutal, and not absolutely determined to maintain military control of the country forever. One such general is Thura Shwe Mann. Shwe Mann retired from the army in 2010 to lead the newly created Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), a civilian front for the generals who still really control the country. Since that election was boycotted by the democratic opposition led by Aung San Suu Kyi (known simply as “the Lady” to most Burmese), the USDP ended up with a majority and Shwe Mann became the speaker of parliament. There was nothing in his past to suggest that he would ever jump the fence: he fought three successful campaigns against various minority ethnic groups featuring the usual human rights violations, and he was number three in the military hierarchy by the time he retired. But Shwe Mann is now Suu Kyi’s best hope for a peaceful transition to a real democratic government after next Sunday’s national election. Something happened to Shwe Mann on the way to this election. Maybe it was just the realisation that he might end up as president if he played his cards rights, but he certainly talks differently these days: “Now we are in a democracy, a different form of government that requires total dedication....Our people are living below the poverty line. We have to change everything.” That’s also what Aung San Suu Kyi wants to do: change everything. She wants to end the army’s control of 25 percent of the seats in parliament. She wants to get it out of the economy (the military now directly or indirectly control half the Burmese economy.) And above all she wants
to stand for the presidency (the constitution written by the army forbids her to run). Could the Lady and the General actually cooperate? It looked like that to the current president, ex-general Thein Sein, because Shwe Mann was openly talking about a possible post-election coalition that would include both his own USDP and Aung San Suu Kyi’s National Gwynne League for Democracy (NLD). So in September Dyer troops surrounded the USDP’s headquarters – and when they left Shwe Mann was no longer the party’s leader. Suu Kyi will still probably need Shwe Mann, because this election is not going to be like the last free election in 1990, when the NLD swept the board. (Of course, the military just ignored the outcome and Aung San Suu Kyi spent most of the intervening quarter-century in jail or under house arrest, so there is no foolproof formula for political success in Burma.) But the military clearly don’t want to go back to that style of rule now, because the facade of democracy has ended sanctions, foreign investment is rolling in, and army officers are getting rich. So much better if you can sabotage the actual democracy without destroying the facade. Athough the NLD will probably get a big win in this election, it will have trouble turning that into a government. It hasn’t managed to attract the support of the ethnic minorities, who see it as an ethnic Burmese party with the usual centralising instincts. It must also face the fact that 25 percent of the members of parliament will be military officers appointed by the high command. And the USDP, although tainted by its military origin, will gain votes because of a
shamelessly Islamophobic campaign by ultra-nationalist Buddhist monks who paint Suu Kyi’s NLD as a pro-Muslim party. Suu Kyi should defend Burma’s beleaguered Muslim minority (only 4 percent), but she dares not do so publicly because that would lose her even more votes. So here’s the deal. The NLD will win more than 50 percent of the seats, but it probably won’t get 67 percent, which is what it would need to elect a president over the opposition of the military bloc in parliament. Suu Kyi can’t run for the presidency anyway, because the constitution, written especially with her in mind, says the president must not have foreign relatives. (Suu Kyi’s husband was English, so her two sons have British passports.) But if Suu Kyi and Shwe Mann form a coalition – although he is no longer the USDP’s leader, he could probably bring a large chunk of his party with him – then that coalition could elect a new president and form a government. The president would have to be Shwe Mann (for constitutional reasons), but Suu Kyi could be the most powerful member of his cabinet, which would be loaded with NLD members. Not a marriage made in heaven, perhaps, but much better than an anti-democratic coup by a panicked military. Burma was never going to become a full democracy in a single breath-taking leap, but this outcome would get it a long way down the road without panicking the army. Burma has been ruled by brutal, ignorant and incompetent soldiers for more than fifty years, and what was once the richest country in South-East Asia is now the poorest. It’s time for a change. Take what you can get now, and come back for more later. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist published in 45 countries.

‘Bold Change’
Prime Minister Trudeau announced a gender balanced cabinet, and on Wednesday it was sworn in. Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) nationally and the Cranbrook Club congratulates the new government on this forward thinking to help establish true gender equity in Canada. In 1994, Canada held the highest ranking on the United Nations’ Human Development Index (HDI); now we are 23rdplace. Research tells us that when women are in decision making positions, laws and
programs that support social justice are more likely. We believe that gender equity at the cabinet table is an important step in helping us gain world respect and change the way domestic issues such as violence against women are resolved – particularly the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women. With today’s decision we can once again anticipate that Canada will became a world leader. CFUW continues to work hard to examine and make recommendation to improve outcomes for girls and women at the local, national, and international levels.
The Cranbrook Club gives over $3,000 in scholarships and bursaries from funds raised at our Annual Artisan Bazaar each year because we believe that education for women is an essential element in ending poverty of Canadian families. We know that to restore Canada’s reputation and standing in the world we needed a change; both symbolic and profound. We believe that the new voices at the cabinet table will help create that change. Cathryn Henley President CFUW Cranbrook Club
East Kootenay elk management plan F.J. H u r ta k
A
couple of months ago, I had the chance to review the data provided in the Ministry of Forest Lands and Resources Kootenay Elk Management public survey. It was interesting to say the least. I’m a huge advocate for surveys such as this because it does give the average hunter a voice. The vast majority of hunters don’t belong to any club or organization and these types of surveys allow hunters to express their own opinions on game management issues. In addition to what the Clubs provide, the data collected gives even more useful information to Wildlife Managers when assessing future regulations and objectives. I recognize that any bit of data is subject to interpretation by the reader, but I thought there was a real desire from hunters for a change in direction in certain aspects of wildlife management and there were two key areas which stood out for me. 1. Many hunters submitted responses indicating that they had a preference for more quality elk hunting in the future. That could mean different things to different people. Some possibilities may include: A. A desire for higher elk numbers in our region which would create more opportunity for all hunters. B. Supporting more stringent regulations governing elk hunting which may provide more “elk on the hoof ”over the long term, especially Bulls. C. Supporting more access restrictions to

Some results and conclusions to the public survey
Bull elk photo by Larry Tooze reduce pressure on elk herds(less access means less hunters and a better quality hunt for those that care to work harder to get where the elk are). 2. Respondents also indicated they wanted a more aggressive approach adopted by the Ministry when it comes to managing predators and in particular, wolves. There was little doubt the majority of respondents favoured this direction for future management. I contacted biologist Tara Szkorupa with the Ministry of MFLR to see what conclusions they arrived at when they compiled the results of the survey/questionnaire and how they may use the results in years to come. In fairness, I told her most of my thoughts first, which
you just read. The following is her response to my email. “The results from the Kootenay Elk Management Plan Public Survey will be used in conjunction with engagement with First Nations and stakeholders, existing ministry policies and relevant biological research. We can’t say that the survey reflects the views of a ‘majority’ of hunters, because we have a relatively small sample, but it does help provide us valuable feedback. Together with other information sources, this will help inform and improve management in the region. Regarding key conclusions, I agree that hunt quality was very important for the majority of hunters. While hunt quality was de-
fined differently by different respondents, putting meat in the freezer was still an important reason for hunting. We are currently working on updating elk population targets for the region, in consideration of the objectives identified by stakeholders and through the public survey. Future hunting regulation proposals will be informed through this process, while aligning with established population objectives, and work has already begun on the next regulation cycle (2016-18). Survey respondents were very concerned about wolf predation and impacts on elk populations. However, while the Province’s wolf management plan allows for targeted ac-
tion to protect threatened wildlife populations, Provincial policy does not support predator control to reduce wolf populations for the purpose of enhancing populations for hunting. When considering how to manage wolves, wildlife managers must also consider biology in addition to the perspectives of hunters. For example, research in the East Kootenay has shown that cow elk survival was not impacted by wolf predation (humans were the main cause of mortality, through hunting, road/rail mortality, etc.), and recent research elsewhere in North America found that predation by bears and/or cougars on calf elk was generally more significant than wolf predation. This has surprised many biologists and stakeholders. However, the high importance of predator management for many stakeholders has raised this as a priority. Regional staff are currently working on carnivore objective setting, assessing regulation change proposals, identifying monitoring programs and planning for future adaptive management to help ensure a healthy predator-prey dynamic in the region.” Tara Szkorupa, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations F.J.

Dynamiters put streak on the line Friday in Fernie Kimberley Dynamiters meet Fernie Ghostriders for first time in 2015-16, with 12-game winning streak at stake
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Friday, November 6
Each year, KIJHL fans in Kimberley and Fernie anxiously await the first meeting between the Dynamiters and Ghostriders. Heck, even the coaches can’t contain their anticipation. “Fernie is our number-one rivalry,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters. “I’m looking forward to it.” “It’s going to be a good, challenging weekend,” Ghostriders head coach Craig Mohr said to Leah Scheitel of The Free Press. “It’s always fun when you can play your main rival. It’s going to be awesome.” Wait no more. The Dynamiters and Ghostriders renew their Eddie Mountain Division rivalry this Friday at Fernie Memorial Arena at 7:30 p.m. Outside of the standard rivalry bragging rights and two points on the line, also at stake for the Dynamiters is a 12game winning streak, one which began back on Sept. 26 in a 4-3 victory over the Revelstoke Grizzlies. As September came to a close, Bancks chal-

lenged his team to run the table through the month of October. The troops answered the call and won all 10 games on the calendar through the month of October. While Bancks believes longer-term goals are important, the Dynamiters will wait until they deal with the always-difficult Ghostriders before laying out any blueprints for the month of November and beyond. “It’s important that you have monthly goals, but I don’t want them to think beyond Friday night,” Bancks said. “That’s a big game for us. After that, then we’ll look at some goals between now and Christmas.” As has become rou-

tine, the first meeting of the season between the Nitros and ‘Riders is long awaited until the first week of November. In 2014-15, the Ghostriders hosted the Dynamiters Friday, Nov. 7, 2014, in the first meeting between the two clubs. Heading into that first meeting, the Ghostriders held the Eddie Mountain Division lead with a record of 13-2-0-1 (27 points), while the Dynamiters were in second place and hot in pursuit at 125-0-2 (26 points). In 2015-16, very little has changed. The two teams meet for the first time Friday, Nov. 7 in Fernie, though this time it’s the Ghostriders hot in pursuit of the Dynamiters. The Nitros (15-1-0-2, 32 points) lead atop the division is a healthy one -- 10 points beyond the Ghostriders (10-5-0-2, 22 points). Last season, the Ghostriders claimed the first contest of the season in a 2-1 nail biter, but it was the Dynamiters getting the last laugh by ousting Fernie from the KIJHL post-season in six games. Though the circumstance in the standings may be a bit different from last season at this time, the make up and approach of both teams remains quite the same in many ways. “They’ve got a strong power play and their scoring seems to be coming from a few people that are obviously very good players,” Bancks said of the Ghostriders. “We’ve got to be ready for a tough game.

Annual Charity Boxing Challenge another success Third edition of annual amateur and celebrity boxing event raises more than $30,000
Townsman Staff
For the third year in a row, the Charity Boxing Challenge was a knockout hit in Cranbrook. Hosted Oct. 24 at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall, the annual event brought a host of new competitors and veteran sluggers into the ring for a variety of amateur and celebrity bouts. By the time the night was over, the event had raised more than $30,000 for charitable efforts in Cranbrook. Event organizers Tom White and fellow Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club coaches Adam Gareau, Reid Gartside and Bill Watson wished to thank those who generously donated to the success of the popular event. Opening the night with the amateur bouts featured a pair of 26-kilogram initiation fights, including nine-year-old Alexa Hansen of Cranbrook taking on Rumour
McGregor of Quesnel, B.C., and nine-year-old Aedin Gareau of Cranbrook scrapping with Emmett Emblau, also of Quesnel. The pair of Cranbrook Eagles boxers dominated the action, though all four competitors were crowned winners, as is the rule for boxers 10-and-under. The bout between Gareau and Emblau was recognized as the Best Bout of the Night. On the heels of the initiation bouts, Cranbrook’s Carter Bannink used his superior skills and experience to stop Jeremiah Warnke (Medicine Hat, Alta.) in the second round of their 32-kg tilt. After a year away from the ring, ‘Dynamite’ Dylan Clark returned to action in the 52-kg division, showing very little rust as he battle to a unanimous decision over Paige Suchit of Edmonton, Alta. Wrapping up the set
of amateur bouts was a 75-kg tilt between ‘The Comeback Kid’ Ryan Lindsay (Cranbrook Eagles) and Brendan Donald of Calgary. Lindsay punished Donald with hooks to the body through three rounds, earning himself a hard-fought unanimous decision. The second half of the night featured local tough guys and gals as the celebrity bouts swung hard in an effort to raise money for less fortunate families in the area. Steve Mercandelli, Randy Rothwell, Stacey Kormilo, Lori Johansan, Patrick Sands, Dan Green, Taylor Quinton, Curt Hargreaves, Sandi Duthie, Ali Anderson, Josh Kapitiniuk, Dacan Duthie and Edyn Barber participated in the local celebrity side of the evening, slugging it out and striking hard to earn a unanimous decision in support of charity.

NHL rookie sensation McDavid out for ‘months’ with broken clavicle Dean Bennet t Canadian Press
Edmonton Oilers phenom rookie Connor McDavid was expected to undergo surgery Wednesday to repair a broken left collarbone, with a recuperation period expected to stretch into months. “He’ll be out indefinitely,” Oilers general manger Peter Chiarelli told a news conference at Rexall Place. “We’re talking about months. We don’t have a particular time frame, but as I said, plural, months. There will be plates and screws involved (in the surgery).”
McDavid was injured Tuesday night in the Oilers’ 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Racing down the left wing toward the Flyers goal late in the second period, with Flyer defenders Brandon Manning and Michael Del Zotto beside him, McDavid appeared to lose the edge on his skate. The trio fell and plowed hard into the end boards. McDavid struggled to his feet and skated slowly to the bench. “He didn’t have much to say (after the game),” said Chiarelli. “He was upset. He loves to play the game
and he won’t be playing it for a while.” He said McDavid has age and character on his side. “The silver lining is that he’s young, he’s a strong kid mentally and physically, he’s still developing so he’ll come back probably even stronger,” Chiarelli said. “In my experience with these significant injuries with younger players they come back stronger.” McDavid went down in the 13th game of his rookie season, but in that time he had already established himself as one of the key players and catalysts on the Oilers.
McDavid has five goals and 12 points in 12 games this season. He was named rookie of the month for October.
The Oilers are 5-8 and fighting to return to the playoffs for the first time in a decade. “Injuries are a part of a hockey but to be out that long this early in his career, I’m sure he’s pretty heartbroken,” said winger Taylor Hall, Oil-

cial media to criticize Manning for appearing to grab McDavid on the way down. McLellan said he didn’t see it that way. “It’s a hockey play. You could watch it 100 times and there’s nothing dirty about it,” he said. “When the pile of three went down it was self-survival. All three of them were in a dangerous situation with the boards coming at them very quick. “(McDavid) caught a rut or he lost an edge and he went down. It

ers’ leading goal scorer. “We’re going to try and be there for him and make sure that he gets through it well.” It’s the latest in a string of injuries to key Oilers, including winger Jordan Eberle (shoulder) and defenceman Justin Schultz (back). Eberle is close to returning, and head coach Todd McLellan said the team will soldier on. “We’ve played without key people. Now we’ll play without Connor,” said McLellan. Some fans took to so-

Last Nov. 11, while playing junior for the Erie Otters, McDavid broke a bone in his right hand in a fight with Bryson Cianfrone of the Mississauga Steelheads. Drafted first overall this summer by the Oilers, McDavid is touted as the kid with jet speed and soft hands with the potential to be one of the great goalscorers and playmakers in the history of the game.

Kansas high school football player brain dead after collapsing during playoff game ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHARON SPRINGS, Kan. - A Kansas high school football player has been declared brain-dead at a Colorado hospital after collapsing on the sideline during a state playoff game Tuesday night. Luke Schemm, 17, had just scored the extra point after a touchdown when he ran to the sidelines and collapsed, his father, David Schemm, said at a news conference Wednesday at
Swedish Medical Center in the Denver suburb of Englewood. “Luke, our beautiful gift from God, is no longer with us,” Schemm said. Hospital spokeswoman Nicole Williams told The Associated Press that Luke is “being kept on life support so family and friends can pay their respects.” She said he had been declared brain dead and would die when life support is withdrawn. She
didn’t know when that would happen. “The family is still determining that timeline,” Williams said. She added that the family is not publicly discussing plans for organ donation. Brian McVay, superintendent and principal of Wallace County schools, said he didn’t know why Luke collapsed during the EightMan Division II game at Wallace County High in Sharon Springs, Kansas. “The team was gath-

SUNDSVALL, Sweden - The Canadian women’s hockey team opened the Four Nations Cup with a 2-0 win over Finland on Wednesday. Meghan Agosta of Ruthven, Ont., scored short-handed and Toronto’s Natalie Spooner had an even-strength goal in the second peri-

ered on the sidelines getting ready to go for the kick. Before they even left the sideline, he just collapsed,” McVay said. “But as far as why, I haven’t had time to track that down.” He said Schemm was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, then flown to the hospital in Colorado, about 220 miles west of Sharon Springs. Gary Musselman, executive director of the Kansas State High School Activities Associ-
ation, said game officials didn’t see Luke sustain any head or neck contact during the game. Asked by a reporter whether he thought Luke’s team should still play in Saturday’s quarterfinal playoff game against Ingalls, Schemm indicated that the players should push through their grief and compete. “Luke gave his all on the field,” he said. “He lived his life with a passion, and that’s what we want them to do.”
Ravens’ Smith done for season ASSOCIATED PRESS
OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Veteran wide receiver Steve Smith’s season is done after the Baltimore Ravens placed him on injured reserve Wednesday with a torn right Achilles tendon. Smith, who leads the Ravens (2-6) with 46 catches, 670 yards receiving and three touchdown receptions, is scheduled to have surgery next week in Charlotte, North Carolina. Smith was tackled by Chargers cornerback Jason Verrett on a 17-yard catch and needed to be helped off the field Sunday. The 36-year-old Smith said in August that he will retire after this season, his 15th in the NFL.
Dodgers Greinke gives up $71 million; opts out of contract for free agency ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK - Pitcher Zack Greinke opted out of the final three years of his contract with the L.A. Dodgers on Wednesday, giving up a guaranteed $71 million to become a free agent again. The Dodgers are expected to make a $15.8 million qualifying offer Friday, which he will reject. Los Angeles then would be eligible to receive an extra draft pick after the first round next year if Greinke signs with another team. The Dodgers’ had baseball’s highest payroll at the end of the regular season, a record $289 million. By opting out, Greinke is forcing front office to decide whether it wants to commit even more money with a new deal that would take him into his late 30s. The 32-year-old right-hander was 19-3 with a major leaguebest 1.66 ERA this season, when he struck out 200 in 222 2-3 innings.
A three-time All-Star, Greinke left the L.A. Angels at the end of the 2012 season and signed a $147 million, six-year contract with the Dodgers, where he joined Clayton Kershaw to form one of the top rotations in baseball. This season, Greinke was the first Dodgers pitcher to start an All-Star Game since Brad Penny in 2006. While L.A. won three straight NL West titles, it has not reached the World Series since winning the 1988 championship. He had the right to terminate the contract within three days of the end of the 2015 World Series. The deal with Los Angeles called for him to earn $24 million next year, $23 million in 2017 and $24 million in 2018. Greinke was among 12 additional players who became free agents, the Major League Baseball Players Association said Wednesday, raising the total to 151.

PERSONAL FLUSHABLE WIPES – A SEWER SYSTEM NO-NO. They’re billed as a fresh, clean alternative to toilet paper — but waste-water utilities across Canada including here in Cranbrook say personal wipes are creating sewage clogs. Consumer Reports tested several brands of wipes labelled flushable and found that while toilet paper broke down after about eight seconds, the wipes showed no sign of disintegrating after 30 minutes in a toilet-flushing simulator.

Residents may consider it an out-of-sight, outof-mind situation. People expect to flush things down the toilet and then don’t want to think about it anymore. While those personal wipes may swirl down the toilet with ease, experts say they don’t disintegrate, creating serious problems as they work their way through aging sewage systems on their way to treatment plants. If you do use these personal wipes, simply throw them in your household garbage and don’t flush them. Please don’t contribute to a growing problem.

Trudeau unveils new federal Cabinet Three B.C. MPs are given ministry responsibilities in the new Liberal majority government Tom Fletcher Black Press
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed three rookie B.C. MPs to his new cabinet, all from the Lower Mainland. Vancouver South MP Harjit Sajjan, a former Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian Forces who served three tours in Afghanistan, is the new Minister of Defence. He was a Vancouver Police officer for 11 years before running for Parliament in the Oct. 19 election. Vancouver-Granville MP Jody Wilson-Raybould, another firsttime candidate elected to the new riding of Vancouver-Granville, is appointed Justice Minister. Wilson-Raybould is a former Crown prosecutor and served as B.C.
OTTAWA _ Justin Trudeau has launched a new Liberal era with a 30-member cabinet that features predominantly fresh faces, an equal number of men and women and probably the most diverse line-up of ministers in Canadian history. The newly minted prime minister emerged Wednesday from the formal swearing-in ceremony boasting that he’s put together a cabinet ‘that looks like Canada.’ Fully 18 of the newly minted ministers are rookies who won election for the first time on Oct. 19, including the all-important finance minister, millionaire Toronto businessman Bill Morneau. The cabinet includes two aboriginal ministers, two disabled ministers, one openly gay minister, a refugee from Afghanistan and four Sikhs _ one of whom was once wrongly accused of terrorism, tortured and detained without trial for almost two years in India. From the moment Trudeau and his team arrived by bus at Rideau Hall and walked together up the long, tree-lined driveway to the Governor General’s mansion, the swearing-in event

Even the weather seemed to co-operate, the brilliant, warm autumn day underscoring Trudeau’s vaunted ‘sunny ways’ approach to politics. “We’re a government that wants to earn Canadians’ trust by demonstrating that we trust Ca-
nadians,” Trudeau said. “Openness and transparency’’ will be a hallmark of his government, he insisted, with the media allowed to hold government to account, MPs empowered to be powerful voices for their communities and public policy based on evidence, not partisanship. Later Wednesday, government House leader Dominic LeBlanc said the government would reconvene the House of Commons on Dec. 3 to elect an new Speaker.

Attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can affect children, adolescents and even some adults. It is quite possible that in Western society there have been tendencies to oversimplify, over diagnose and/or misdiagnose ADD or ADHD as these are not common disorders, thus, a thorough assessment is crucial. In true cases of ADD/ ADHD symptoms like impulsiveness, inattention and/ or hyperactivity must affect home, school and social lives for at least 6 months. The exact causes of ADD/ ADHD are unknown, but there are many theories including chemical imbalance, genetics, injury/illness at or after birth, central nervous system defect and more. There is a tendency to utilize pharmaceutical medications like stimulants (ie. Ritalin, Dexedrine) as a first line therapy which in some cases is necessary, but not before all other treatments options are attempted. From a Naturopathic perspective it is essential to investigate the dietary contributors as a root cause of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. Research has shown that as many as half of all children with ADD/ADHD have fewer behavioural problems when put on a diet free of such substances as artificial flavourings, food colourings, preservatives, monosodium glutamate (MSG), caffeine, refined sugars and chocolate. Furthermore, elimination of gluten (the protein found in wheat – also lower amounts in spelt, rye and barley) and casein (a protein in cow dairy) have been found to be helpful with behaviour and increase concentration. Nutritional supplementation can profoundly help as well by replacing deficiencies. For children the most common supplements include: Omega 3, Probiotics, Multi-vitamin and herbs like Lemon balm and Chamomile. The most important part of nutritional supplementation is dosing and quality of supplements. For example, you do not want to be using fish oil that has not been tested for heavy metals or a multi that has added dyes to it. Reaching a therapeutic dose is also important for supplements to be effective. (For more information on quality supplements see our blog: http://www.roots-to-health.com/blog/why-highquality-supplements-are-important). Overall, we need to move away from a diet that relies on the convenience of packaged foods (which is where most of the offending substances are located) and integrate a whole foods diet where we are preparing all our food from scratch. Diet/Lifestyle modifications and Nutritional supplementation can make such a difference in children with ADD/ADHD.

Keeping your eye health in Bisset Singers’ Cranbrook concert
FOCUS
Dr.
Don Henker and Dr. Whitney Henker are excited to announce the opening of our new Optometry office, Kootenay Family Vision Care, in Cranbrook. We have been proudly serving our patients in Cranbrook since 1997, and are happy to continue in our mission to provide compassionate and exceptional vision care to families of the East Kootenays. We are located inside the Baker Street Professional Centre (the Cranbrook Mall), just down the hall from the F.W. Green Clinic and Fisher Peak Family Practice. Our office hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturdays and evenings by appointment.
Dr. Whitney Henker has had a special interest in children’s vision since the inception of the British Columbia Optometric Association’s Vision First Check program in 1997, and welcomes young people to the office for a fun and friendly eye exam experience
We offer comprehensive vision care for people of all ages, using the latest technology and advanced equipment to evaluate and monitor eye health. Our comprehensive exam includes digital photography of the retina, intraocular pressure check, visual field screening, refraction, and eye health evaluation. A wellness screening of the retina is also available using advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT), a medical imaging technique that uses light to capture high resolution images of the layers of the retina and optic nerve. This technology helps us to evaluate and monitor retinal problems such as macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
We have many years of experience in helping our patients achieve great vision with contact lenses, including multi-focal contact lenses that allow for reading as well as good distance vision. We are offering a full optical dispensary as well, with beautiful frame choices for people of all ages. We are also excited to provide sunglasses from Oakley, and Revo, and Smith to name a few.
features professional soprano
For the Townsman
On Saturday November 7, the Bisset Singers will perform at Knox Presbyterian Church in Cranbrook. Their concert will also feature rising star, professional soprano, Savannah Bisset. With the New York Lyric Opera Theatre, Ms. Bisset just completed a performance as Marquerite in Andre Gretey’s Richard Coeurde-lion opera. A New York Times review exclaimed, “Ms. Bisset excelled in one of the scores few arias.” The Bisset Choir is noted for passion for their music to inspire and entertain. “It’s important the concert appeal to a broad base in the community,” said Chuck Bisset, “I have a wide range of ages in my choir with more than half the soprano section being between nine and thirteen years old,” Chuck said. “My passion is to see

a new generation of good singers.” The choir’s repertoire will showcase songs from Duke Ellington and will be accompanied by a big band soundtrack. “As a child I grew up hearing opera and classical music as both my parents were voice teachers,” Savannah Bisset says, “I have a
commitment to an audience to put forth some of the most beautiful music written because I want to inspire young listeners to go back to opera.” “I want them to understand the complexity that was put into those works, to inspire and stir the human soul,” she said. “In my mind nothing touches the human spirit like that of opera and art song. Ms. Bisset will be accompanied by Arne Sahlen who holds an ARCT Diploma in Piano Performance (Gold medalist), and a Piano Teacher’s ARCT diploma from The Royal Conservatory of Music. Concert: 7PM, Saturday November 2, 2015, Knox Presbyterian Church, 2100 3 St S, Cranbrook, BC. Tickets available at Lotus Books, Choir Members or at the Door. Adult $20, Senior $15, Youth/child $12.

Cranbrook Violin Club hosting The Leahys Andrea Ingram
W
hen one thinks of violin music, images of a symphony orchestra playing Strauss in a grand concert hall come to one’s mind. ]Seventy energetic children moving their bows simultaneously to a fiery violin song, however, is not the image one might expect — unless you live in Cranbrook. Nestled on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains, our city is home to this very unique club. We are not aware of any other children’s club in North America where the music teacher volunteers all of his time so that any child in our community can have the opportunity to learn the violin. Long after the school dismissal bell one can find Cranbrook Violin Club director Kim Lutz in the music room of Kootenay Orchards Elementary School teaching four groups of violin students twice a week. By composing original songs as well as lively backing tracks to the songs he teaches from the Suzuki books, Kim is able to generate excitement in the children while they learn this very challenging musical instrument. The students easily identify with this contemporary approach to classical music. Helping children see beyond themselves so that they will want to give back to their community and world is as
important a goal of the Cranbrook Violin Club as learning to play the violin. Global citizenship is encouraged by providing the children with opportunities to give back to their community to start with. The Violin Club members perform every year at local seniors homes. In this past year, the children in the Cranbrook Violin Club raised over $3,800 for the local SPCA. During the previous three years, club members raised more than five thousand dollars for the fight against cancer. Club director Kim Lutz has been willing to dress up in a pink flamingo costume, take a pie in the face as well as sit in a dunk tank and be duct taped to a wall as a a way of motivating the children to raise money for the charities. In addition to their music director, other positive role models which the children of the violin club have had the opportunity in the past five years to learn from, be inspired by and perform with include guest artists Lindsey Stirling, Natalie McMaster and Aaron Meyer. Each of these artists are an inspiration to the children for more than their musical expertise, from Lindsey’s message of celebrating one’s uniqueness and talents, Natalie’s strong family values to Aaron’s devotion to bringing music to children in the most remote villages of Southeast Asia.
The Leahys are playing Cranbrook Thursday, Nov. 12 at theKey City Theatre. In search of other positive role models, The Leahys are also a natural choice to bring to Cranbrook. Iconic, original, energetic, intensely musical and best of all, Canadian — who doesn’t love the Juno-award winning family group The Leahys? They have toured internationally, headlining themselves, opening for Shania Twain on her in inaugural world tour and earning an immense fan-base well beyond Canada’s borders. Their Celtic-inspired brand of traditional music is heartfelt and honest. What one might not know is The Leahys’ devotion to the musical education of children and youth. For the past 10 years they have hosted the Leahy Music Camp which focuses on instruction in singing, step-dancing, musical instruments as well as audio engineering, re-

Resisting pride: the ongoing battle A n a s ta s i a B a r t l e t t
A
rghhh, pride, the constant stumbling block on my road to heaven. I catch myself being proud of something I have done, so try to be humble instead and then immediately am proud of my humbleness. Pride has always come between man and God. The Old Testament is full of exam-
ples. Jesus tells of the pharisee who stood before God praising himself in comparison to the publican, ‘I’m better than that guy”. I know I do the same, “Well, at least I’m not as bad as …” I say to myself or others as I look for praise in all the wrong places. The only standard for behaviour I should be using is Jesus Christ, measure of all I should be.

All of creation carries the image of God but sin tarnished that image. Jesus cleansed creation and restored the image for all who want it. Even though I want it, as long as I am alive on this earth, I will always be a sinner whether I like it or not. “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8 I have my lifetime to work out my salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). It’s not enough to simply say ‘I believe’ and, ta da! I’m saved. I have to act on that salvation. That’s where the pride comes in. Every time I take a step closer to becoming more Christlike, I pat myself on the back, “look at that, this time last year I would’ve been so upset at what happened, but now I can take it with patience and peace of mind.” Yeah, it’s good, I have more patience and that things don’t ruffle my feathers the way they once did, but being proud of it is like one step forward and two steps backwards down the path towards the Pharisee. And just the fact that I can see that, and acknowledge it publicly, can lead me down the spiral staircase of pride to failure. Pride can be really sneaky. And now I’m proud that I can recognize that …
Icon depicting the parable of the Publican and the Pharisee According to the world, I’m supposed to take pride in what I do, especially if I’m doing it for the Lord. Even the most atheistic of people have a grudging respect for someone like Mother Theresa. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; Depart from me,
you who practice lawlessness.’ Matt 7:21-23 I personally think these people started out by doing many miraculous things in the name of Jesus, but then, unfortunately, pride got in the way. Initially, they may have served God out of love but gradually, they learned to love the praise of
men more. “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.” 1 Cor 13:2 Pride and love can’t exist together. Pride can result in anger, legalism and even murder for the sake of honour. Love means mercy, forgiveness and reconciliation. When I love others, I love God and if I love God then I will love others. “If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.” 1 John 4:20 If I can focus on God and His creation, if I can do for him without worrying what others think, if I can retreat from pride instead of embracing it, then humility and meekness are within reach. But resisting pride is an ongoing battle, a constant biting of the tongue, vigilance in all things and keeping my eyes only on Christ, the standard for life.

November is Fall Prevention Month
Falls are the most common cause of injury among BC seniors. The good news? They are preventable Submit ted
When an older person falls, it can have an enduring and devastating impact, resulting in injury, loss of mobility, a reduced quality of life and, in severe cases, even death. Each year, one in three BC seniors (age 65+) experience at least one fall. Fifty percent of those who suffer a hip fracture will not regain their full mobility, and will require permanent use of a cane, walker or other mobility aid for walking. Don’t let this be you! Safe Communities Cranbrook is hosting its second annual Fall Prevention Awareness Campaign throughout the month of November. Local partners, volunteers and service providers are offering activities, workshops, meetings
and social gatherings to talk about falls – why they happen, why it’s important, and what we can do to reduce them. The campaign focuses on 4 simple actions we can all take – regardless of age - to prevent falls: • start an exercise program • get a vision check • reduce home trip hazards, and • have a medication review with a pharmacist November activities include workshops on these key topics, yoga, tai chi, indoor and outdoor gym tours for seniors, social gatherings, medication reviews, and a whole lot more. Full schedules are available for pick up in several Cranbrook locations, including a monthlong information station at
Tamarack Centre. Winter snow and ice certainly increase the risk of falls, so now is an excellent time to prepare. Get involved, get informed…and have a little fun learning how to keep yourself and your loved ones safer. For more information, contact Safe Communities Cranbrook, 250-426-5677, or facebook.com/SafeCommunitiesCranbrook. Email lharris_ ccs@shaw.ca for a full schedule of Falls Prevention Month activities. General falls information and resources can be found online at www.findingbalancebc.ca. About Safe Communities A Safe Communities designation is a public affirmation of,
and testament to, a community’s aspiration to create a safer life for all its citizens. “Safe Communities” have shown considerable commitment to promoting safety and injury prevention. They have brought together a variety of local stakeholders, held public forums, determined priorities, and facilitated campaigns based on those priorities. There are currently 66 designated Safe Communities in Canada. Cranbrook was designated as a ‘Safe Community’ in 2009. Its three identified injury priorities are: Transportation, Suicide & Falls. The group also sponsors the BC CRN (BC Association of Community Response Networks), which seeks to address adult abuse, neglect and self-neglect.

It happened this week Cranbrook in the week of November 1 - 7, 1902
Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives
1902 Cranbrook is first …We understand that Cranbrook is to secure fame from an unexpected source. Within a short time there will be an organization formed here to be known as the “Independent Order of Maligned Mother-in laws.” It is the intention to form branches throughout Canada and later to extend the workings to the States. We are glad that Cranbrook is to be the home of the parent lodge, because the time is coming when the order will be a power in the land. Among the features to be incorporated in the tenets of the order are the demands on the hour of coming home for sons-in-law, and the manner in which housekeeping is done by daughters-in-law. Success to the organization, may it live long and flourish. What’s missing … What Cranbrook needs and needs badly is a literary society for the young men and women of this place. There too many young people growing up who don’t know Julius Caesar from the Sultan of Turkey, or whether Kipling or Shakespeare wrote Richard III, and yet they can tell you about the latest waltz step or gossip; Youth presents the golden opportunity to cultivate the mind, to educate self, and yet comparatively few take advantage of it. Get to the altar … There are a bunch of bachelors in Cranbrook who should get roasted to a finish if they don’t get in line this winter and give a preacher a $10 job. Most of them enjoy the company of ladies, but are too stingy to accept the responsibilities of married life. Mail route to windermere ... Do the business men of Cranbrook realize what an increase it would mean to the mercantile interests of the town if the mail service should be established between Cranbrook and Wilmer? Only Monday last one of our hardware dealers shipped an injector to Wilmer which had to be expressed around by the way of Macleod, Calgary and Golden, Cranbrook being the only place where the article could be procured this side of Winnipeg. With the immense and complete stocks of goods carried by Cranbrook merchants think what a vast volume of business could be procured if we had direct means of transportation and communication with the prosperous Windermere district. Get in line and help yourselves by helping the

The Electoral Districts Act... With
MLA,
The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Cranbrook, circa 1900. people of Wilmer procure the mail route. Good deal … One of the most important deals in mining property in the Wild Horse District, was made a few days ago, when Dave Griffith gave a bond on his property, situated on the east bank of Wild Horse creek, four miles from Fort Steele. The property consists of the Tit for Tat, Lentz Lode and Celt mineral claims, also the Bald Mountain located on the west bank of Wild Horse. The claims have been developed to a considerable extent by tunnels, d rifts and shafts. The ore is a gold quartz, absolutely free milling. Hallowe’en … Last night was Hallowe’en, the night the witches are supposed to wander about, and signs of good or evil float through the air. It was a little muddy even for a witch or a fairy in Morrissey, and owing to the orderly dispositions of the younger element, not a gate was missing from its hinges this morning. One man looked into the well back of the Australian hotel, claims he saw the devil, but it is generally supposed that it was the reflection of the man’s own face that filled him with fear of the king of hades. Death of w. A. Prest … When death came last Tuesday to relieve William Archie Prest of his sufferings, Cranbrook lost a citizen who had not an enemy. During his four years’ residence in Cranbrook, he quietly pursued his own course, displaying at all times a kindness of heart that won for him the esteem and love of all. No man ever heard Mr. Prest say a harsh word or saw him do an unkind act. He was always ready to help a friend, and by his labor, or as his means permitted, to do all in his power for the advancement of the community where he had made his home. The news of his death will bring sorrow to many hearts, for he was a good man, a good husband and a good father. Mr. Prest was born in Guelph, Ont., in 1850, and has
been married about 26 years. For 18 years previous to coming to Cranbrook he had lived in Portage la Prairie, Man., where he was engaged in the stationery business and the publication of a newspaper. Later be embarked into photography and since coming here, by the great assistance of his wife, had established a large business in this district, having studios in all the principal towns. He leaves a widow, one child, Cecil, bookkeeper for G. H. Miner, brother and sister in Toronto and a brother in St. Paul. The funeral will be held to-day at the Methodist church at 2:30, Rev Thompson officiating. The OddFellows Lodge, will attend in a body. 1903 Still they come … The robins have gone, but the Eaton bundles are coming in big flocks every day. Need replacing … Premier McBride and the members of his government have shown themselves to be incapable and tricky and treacherous, and it is the duty of the liberal-conservative members of the legislature to meet in conference and compel them to step down. If the liberal-conservative party is to continue to control the government of British Columbia, the party must show the people that only high-minded men are the leaders to be kept in office. The party has such men, and they are not confined to one locality. Good bluff … We put a safe in The Herald office this week, and now wonder why we did it. We look at the empty money drawer and marvel at the vanity of a newspaper publisher who will go in debt for a safe and have no coin to put in it. But a safe with the door closed, gives a substantial air to the premises, and is a good thing to work a bluff on when a man presents a bill. We can lean back in our cushioned chair, and with one arm throw carelessly over a corner of the
safe, look the persistent collector in the eye, and calmly say, “I’ll give you a check next week.” The bluff is a good one, because we have had it worked on us time and again. No mail on sundays … We understand that the Sunday Alliance proposes to stop Postmaster Beattie from distributing mails on Sunday. If it succeeds we will have one day in the week that neither sight draft nor bill can reach us. Perry creek … F. L. Byron, an old timer and who with Mr. J. E. Woods, is now heavily interested in a gold quartz proposition on Perry Creek, British Columbia, spent Tuesday in town on his way to the prairie where he was taking his horses to be wintered. In speaking of his gold property he expressed himself as highly pleased with the development work accomplished this summer and says that every foot of development work driven has added to the richness of the mine. A small force of miners will be kept at work all winter and by spring he hopes to have a quartz mill pounding out gold on the property. Laundry anyone? … There is a chance to get a steam laundry in Cranbrook, if the people will make a showing as to patronage. A plant will cost between $1500 and $2000, and in a town like this should be one of the best paying business propositions in the country. A new gardener … William Snodden, an energetic Scotchman who located in Cranbrook last spring, has proven to be a valuable acquisition to the town. He is an old country Gardner, and has demonstrated his ability in that line by some of his work on private yards in Cranbrook. Mr. Snodden has purchased property here, and built a home and proposes to enter upon the work of gardening on a large scale. In the meantime he is looking after work of that kind for the residents, and whatever he does is done well.

After every second provincial election, the electoral areas of BC are reviewed by a 3 person panel that travels the province hearing from British Columbians. The provincial panel was chaired by Justice Thomas Melnick from Cranbrook.

The guiding principle for how boundaries are established is the size of population in each area, but our government amended that principle so that the less populated rural areas would not lose their MLA representation.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll feel as if the time has come to take control of a difficult situation. This is likely to cause a commotion for some, but a resolution for you. Trust your efforts when it comes to your work ethic. You make a big difference. Tonight: A partner has a nice way of saying “thank you.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Despite someone else’s attitude, which might hurt you on a deep level, you’ll keep it together. You succeed because of your resourcefulness. Pressure builds because you would like to be acknowledged. Give it up, and refuse to push. Tonight: Let your imagination take the lead. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A matter revolving around your home might keep you grounded, perhaps even more than you would like. Know that, despite the demanding nature of what is going on, your home life will be a source of happiness in the near future. Tonight: Avoid complications.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You come up with the right words at the right time. Communication could be overwhelming. You might be more optimistic and positive than you realize. You’ll be able to melt any resistance from a dear friend or loved one. Tonight: In the thick of things. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Balance your checkbook before you take a risk. The gamble might be worth it, but be aware of the implications involved. A close associate could challenge your decision. Listen to what is being said, as there is likely to be some validity here. Tonight: Indulge a little. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be challenged by a loved one. This person might give you the cold shoulder or do something else that he or she believes will draw you in. Let him or her know what your plans are, but express your appreciation nonetheless. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might act as if you have a
Tundra
secret that might be too big or too wonderful to keep to yourself. Stay mum. Focus on routine matters, and try to infuse them with more energy and creativity. Don’t hesitate to share your ideas. Tonight: Vanish quietly, then do what you want! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can’t help but succeed with all the support, ideas and energy around you. You could do well, even without others’ help, as you are unusually creative and dynamic right now. Go off and manifest what you want to happen. Tonight: A little extra oomph goes a long way. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your attitude could be a real game-changer. People respond much better to positive energy. If you feel isolated, hold up the mirror. Only you can change how you present yourself. Ask friends for some feedback to help you turn the corner. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you back off and take a long, hard look at what is going on, you might like what you see.
There could be a profound disagreement between you and another person. One of you is far more imaginative than the other. Learn how to compromise. Tonight: Consider a getaway AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A partner or loved one will pull you away from a problem. You could be awestruck by this person’s suggestions. You’ll see a plethora of options as a result. Slow down before committing. Sit on your impulsiveness a little longer. Tonight: Time to be with a favorite person! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might not intend to be as critical or as challenging as you are today. You could hear a comment or two, which you probably would prefer not to acknowledge. Rather than create any uproar, ignore the comment. Watch the other party’s reaction. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been taking care of my mother since I was 17 and she was disabled from a car accident and unable to work. I am now 47, and Mom is 72. Her health is getting worse, so my husband and I recently moved her in with us. My husband and I both work full time. I have caregivers who come in during the day when we are at work, and we take care of her at night. Annie, I’m so tired. My husband and I can’t go anywhere overnight. Our sex life has gone downhill, because we are both so exhausted. Mom has become mean and combative, which makes our lives miserable. She doesn’t sleep much at night, which means neither do I. There are no other family members around to help. I have tried to find a skilled nursing facility or other assisted living place, but am having a hard time finding one that she can afford. I want her somewhere safe, but I also want my life back. I know this sounds awful of me. Any suggestions would be helpful. -Drained and Frustrated Dear Drained: Being a full-time caregiver is a tiring job, and you’ve been at it for most of your life. It is perfectly natural that you are exhausted and ready to find another place for Mom to live. Most nursing homes will accept Medicare when Mom’s money runs out. Please call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 for information about the available resources in your area. But first ask about resources for respite care for yourself. You deserve it. Dear Annie: A good friend of mine has a very rude daughter. “Susie” got married two years ago and I attended the ceremony and gave her a monetary gift. She never thanked me. Within months, Susie dumped the husband and immediately got pregnant by another man. She had a baby shower, which I attended, and I gave her a nice gift. Again, no thank-you note. Susie is getting married for the second time and I am invited to the wedding. I have no desire to give her yet another gift that will be completely ignored and unappreciated. What do you say? Do I have to give her something? -- ThankYou’s Still Appreciated Dear Thank-You’s: If you attend the wedding, you are under an obligation to give a gift, although it doesn’t need to be as generous as the first one. If you do not receive any thank-you note in three to six months, it is perfectly OK to call Susie and ask whether the gift was received. You’d be surprised how often such things are lost or misplaced, especially when the gifts are brought to the wedding instead of sent to the bride’s home. This includes cards with money inside. And thank-you notes can also go astray. Of course, if Susie did receive the gift and is simply too rude to have sent an acknowledgment of any kind, she deserves to squirm a little when you ask her about it.

The Land Of Oz
Carla Nelson of Maritime Travel tells why now is a great time for travel to the Antipodes
November 7 , 2015 at 7:30 pm As
winter approaches in Canada, it is getting warmer in Australia! Now is a great time to look at this destination for travel. Whether it is a backpacking trip, self-drive vacation, a cruise, snowbird long stay, or a classic tour, Australia has something for everyone. No one really knew about Oz until
1770 when Captain Cook made landfall and claimed it under the British Crown. Australia and its colonies became a state under British rule in 1901, with New Zealand opting out. In 1986, the Australia Act ended the official powers of the British Parliament.

Yes, it’s a long flight, 16 hours from Vancouver to Sydney, so make sure you stay long enough to make it worthwhile! You will cross the International Date Line, which means you lose a day going there, but gain one on the way back. It is cool to actually live the same day twice! A visa is required for Canadians to visit up to three months. It is electronic, and the fee is waived if you book with a travel agent. Our currency is at par with the Australian dollar and cost of living about the same, so it’s affordable. English is the official language (some may debate that!), and there are over 100 indigenous languages. Australia is vast, the sixth largest country by land mass, comparable to the size of Canada, with five time zones. So, as with Canada, you are not likely seeing the whole country in one trip. There are seven territories. Sydney and the capital, Canberra (which reminds me of Ottawa), are found in

Cranbrook Mall
The Great Barrier Reef New South Wales. Sydney is a hub of arts & culture and home of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. You will find beaches, Brisbane, Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, as well as many islands, some still uninhabited. The ‘bush’ is West Australia from Perth to Broome. Perth is known for pearls, gems and precious metals. The ‘outback’ in the Northern Territory includes Darwin, Alice Springs, Ayers Rock and Uluru. Wine country and Adelaide are found in South Australia. Melbourne and the famous Great
250, 1311 - 2nd Street North
Ocean Road are found in Victoria. The 7th territory is Tasmania, the island that was once a British penal colony. The population of Australia is 22 million, including 1/2 million aboriginal people. Australia has many unique experiences to offer! The wildlife – kangaroo, wallaby, wombat, koala, emu, platypus, crocodile, box jellyfish, shark, plus six of the deadliest snakes in the world and the Sydney Funnel Web Spider (also deadly); the sports – Aussie Rules Football, cricket, tennis, rugby and the Australian Grand Prix; the food
and drink – they are BBQ crazy! - whether kangaroo, emu or crocodile, vegemite spread, pavlova cake, schooner beer and Hunter Valley wine. And let’s not forget the humour of listening to the interesting phrases – ‘G’day mate’ (man) or ‘love’ (woman), ‘Cheers’ (not thanks), ‘Oooroo’ (not goodbye), ‘no wuckers’ (no problem), and I’ll have ‘chips to take away’, not ‘fries to go’! Go there – it’s fun! For more information on Australian vacations, contact Carla Nelson, Branch Manager, Maritime Travel Cranbrook 250.489.4788.

Obituaries
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and sister, Yvette Marie Shandola (nee Renaud), on October 31st, 2015. Born on a farm near Marcelin, Saskatchewan in 1929, Yvette moved to Kimberley, BC in her early teens. She married late husband, Joseph, in 1952. She is lovingly remembered by her three children, Larry (Pamela), Joanne (Larry), and Dan (Darlene); grandchildren Tyrell (Stephanie) and Ryan; great-grandchildren Hannah and Phoenix; her sister, Jane (Hoppy) Mossman; in-laws; and her many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister, Rose (Bud) Johnstone and brother, Andy (Yvonne) Renaud. Yvette loved her family deeply. She enjoyed traveling and meeting people. She was also an excellent cook who took pleasure entertaining family and friends. Yvette was warm-hearted and friendly. All who knew her appreciated her generous and caring manner. Yvette will be deeply missed by all. On behalf of the family, we would like to thank the staff of Slocan Community Health Center for their thoughtful and loving care of Yvette during her final years there. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of B.C. would be appreciated. Arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service.

B.C. food product sales set record Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm and food product industry is growing, even though the number of farmers isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick hosted farmers and food producers at the B.C. legislature Tuesday to mark B.C. Agrifoods Day and announce that sales of B.C. food products set a record of $12.3 billion in 2014. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up 5.9 per cent from the previous year, which was up 3.5 per cent from 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local people are buying local products, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big part,â&#x20AC;? Letnick said in an inter-
view. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our exports are increasing. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a record year, just under $3 billion in exports.â&#x20AC;? Two thirds of B.C. export sales go to the U.S. China is second with $264 million in sales, and Japan bought $199 million worth in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our number one agri-food product continues to be dairy,â&#x20AC;? Letnick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Number two is farmed salmon, so that might be news to a few people.â&#x20AC;? Abbotsford dairy farmer Jared DeJong attended the ceremony and offered a plea to the next generation of B.C. residents to stay with
their family farms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today there are many multi-generational family farms where the future is in doubt, as the next generation ponders what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do with their career,â&#x20AC;? DeJong said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to not only secure the current generation of young farmers, but also attract new bright young talent to agriculture and into the thousands of key agriculture jobs across the province in the years to come.â&#x20AC;? With family farms and new farmers, is B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm base growing? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re holding our
own,â&#x20AC;? Letnick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at about 20,000 farm families, which has been pretty steady. There are about 55,000 people employed in agriculture and agrifoods, again thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty steady. We are seeing higher productivity on the land, so that helps.â&#x20AC;? He said the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement bodes well for B.C. It proposes phasing out tariffs in Asian countries on B.C. salmon, halibut, herring, crab, geoduck, blueberries, fresh and frozen vegetables, pork and icewine.
Man complains of headache, doctors find tapeworm larva living in his brain Associated Press
NAPA, Calif. - A California man says he went to an emergency room with a terrible headache and nausea, slipped into a coma, and was told a tapeworm larva had been living in his brain when he woke up. Luis Ortiz, a 26-year-old university student, said doctors told him he needed immediate surgery to remove it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was shocked,â&#x20AC;? Ortiz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe something like that would happen to me. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know there was a parasite in my head trying to ruin my life.â&#x20AC;? The surgery and the aftermath have greatly impacted his life, Ortiz said. He had to drop out of school, move back home and find a temporary place for his dog. He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive or work.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;My memory is like a work in progress,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gets better from therapy,â&#x20AC;? but he has to remind himself to do his memory exercises and other daily tasks. Ortizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neurosurgeon, Dr. Soren Singel, said Ortiz was lucky he arrived at the hospital when he did. The worm was forming in a cyst that was blocking the flow of water to chambers in his brain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;like a cork in a bottle,â&#x20AC;? Singel told the Napa Valley Register (http://bit.ly/1RQzfHc ). Another 30 minutes of that blockage, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;he would have been dead,â&#x20AC;? Singel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a close call.â&#x20AC;? Ortiz said his headaches began in late August and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think much of it at first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just ignored it,â&#x20AC;? said Ortiz,
who was attending California State University, Sacramento. During the first days of September, Ortiz had been skateboarding on a warm day when the pain increased. When he arrived at his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, he appeared disoriented and began to vomit. She rushed him to the hospital. Singel said such parasitic worms in a body arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too uncommon. The problem occasionally occurs if people eat pork infected with worms, he said. But that could cause an intestinal parasite, not the brain cyst that Ortiz had. Tapeworm eggs likely made it into Ortizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intestine from something else he ate and eventually the single larva made it into his brain, Singel said.

Conservationists unhappy with longer commercial fishing season C anadian Press
WINNIPEG — Manitoba has extended the commercial fishing season on Lake Winnipeg by one week despite concerns about declining walleye stocks. Conservationists say they aren’t happy about the decision to keep the season open until this Sunday to allow fishers more time to reach their walleye quota. They say the province doesn’t have enough data on which to base a decision and isn’t thinking about what might happen in future years. In August, Geoff Klein of the Conservation and Water Stewardship Ministry said walleye populations in Lake Winnipeg were down as a result of commercial fishing. He said the annual catch declined to 3.5 million kilograms in 2014 from 4.5 million kilograms the year before. The department’s minister, Tom Nevakshonoff, said at the time there wasn’t enough data to warrant reducing walleye quota. This year, the catch is projected to come in at less than three million kilograms. Some fishers, especially in Lake Winnipeg’s southern basin, were not able to collect their quota due to bad weather, said fisheries director Jim Duncan.
Thursday, NOVEMber 5, 2015 Page 23
“The biggest factor was opportunities for fishers to try to access their resources and reach their quotas,” he said. “The weather can be quite challenging, being a shallow lake with high winds.” A 2011 task force concluded there’s no way to determine whether quotas are sustainable because the province, fishers and the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corp. don’t collect meaningful data and lump walleye in with sauger and lake whitefish. “The quotas are really somewhat arbitrary. They haven’t been adjusting them on a regular basis, based on scientific knowledge,” said task force chairman Burton Ayles, a retired scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “If they’re concerned about the fishery, it’s probably not a good idea for them to increase the season so they can catch the quota.” The absence of data, combined with declining year-over-year catches and concern over walleye numbers, has made the decision to extend the season concerning to conservation groups. “I’d like to know what fisheries data the province has to suggest the lake can sustain another week of commercial fishing,” said Rob Olson of the Manitoba Wildlife Federation.
