KIMBERLEY RCMP

Sgt. Newel is officially named NCO in Charge C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Kimberley RCMP Detachment finally has a permanent Officer in Charge and he is a familiar face. Chris Newel was promoted to Sgt. last Thursday, and after spending much of the past four and a half years since his arrival in Kimberley as interim NCO In Charge, it’s official.

“I’ve been fulfilling the role for some time but I didn’t hold the position,” Newel said. “Now I’ve been officially named and it’s permanent.”

It’s a satisfying promotion 27 and a half years into his RCMP career, and interestingly, Newel has had Kimberley on his mind for much of that time.

“I came through here in ‘89. I wasn’t in the RCMP then. I went cross-country skiing, had a mocha at the Snow Drift, and I thought, ‘what a great community’.”

Kimberley stayed in the back of his mind, Newel says, and when he was asked for preferences for his first assignment, he asked for the East Kootenay. Which he got — not Kimberley but Cranbrook.

“When I was in Cran-

brook, I spent a lot of time in Kimberley, but I never set foot in the detachment until I came here four years ago.”

Kimberley, Newel says, is a great place to raise kids.

“It has lots of amenities, and access to good health care not far away, if you need it.”

Part of the job that Newel really enjoys is the public relations aspect — getting out in the community and talking to people, and through his involvement in various community organizations and the entire family’s involvement in amateur sports, it’s easy to meet people and get to know them.

“I’d be very happy to retire here,” he said.

“That’s the family plan.”

Rankled by school rankings

Fraser Institute rankings don’t impress SD6 much C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The Fraser Institute released its annual ranking of secondary schools last week, with Kimberley’s Selkirk Secondary rating a 7.2 out of 10, 65th out of 294 high schools in the province.

To put that in context, Golden Secondary, with a similar number of Grade 12 students was 223d out of 294; Invermere was 106th and Fernie was 138th. Mount

Baker in Cranbrook, with about three times as many students in Grade 12, was ranked 120th.

The Fraser Institute ranks schools on average exam marks, percentage of exams failed, gender gaps in English and math, graduation rate and more, to give the schools a ranking out of ten.

The rankings are quite controversial — opponents say that private schools always come out at the top and you simply can’t compare them to public schools. The methodology is also questioned.

District No. 6, says the rankings mean nothing.

“We pay no attention to the Fraser Institute ranking of schools, and we have held this view consistently over time,” he said. “We are in the business of trying to do our very best for each individual student we serve, and in that regard, a ranking of schools is unhelpful and unnecessary. We also agree with the widely held view that the methodology used in the ranking is questionable, and cannot be seen as accurately measuring the quality of a school.”

KIMBERLEY DYNAMITERS

Need a mentor or a big brother? Consider billeting JOSH LOCKHART For the Bulletin

Billeting can be an intimidating and scary experience for players, they leave their family, friends and familiar home to come and play hockey in a different town.

Kenaan Haase, a Californian hockey player, played with the Dynamiters the past two seasons: “I moved to a different country, risking not going straight to college, to [go to] a place very unfamiliar to me. Not knowing anyone or how anything worked in Kimberley.”

Glen & Tasha Johnston were a billet family for Haase one season, and said “You just provide a safe and comfortable home life for them; make them feel like part of the family.”

Karrie Hall, a billet mom added “Your home is really their ‘home away from home.’”

With that foundation of safety and comfort, came the success.

Past Kimberley Dynamiters Goaltender, Tyson Brouwer, said billeting “played a major role in shaping me as an athlete and as a young man.”

Support is a two way street, and players can have an influence on their billet family. The Reid’s said that billet players “become more like a brother and part of the family - which includes annoying each other. But they are also terrific role models for them as far as life and hockey go.”

Braeden Saretsky, who was part of the 2015 KIJHL Championship team, felt that his billet siblings impacted him just as much he did to them: “[the] impact on the billet kids was huge; I played with them every day and took the time to listen to what they had to say.”

He added, “Playing mini hockey with [my billet brother] 24/7 helped [them] become a better player.”

Haase billeted with Saretsky at the Johnston’s, and jokingly added: “Where do you think Braden and I got our moves? We would

Haase enjoyed his role as a billet big brother and hockey tutor: “he always had a smile on his face and you could tell that he loved it,” noticing that his billet brother had “improved tremendously” over the two years he was with the family.

While Saretsky, Haase, and Brouwer loved the support they got from their billet parents and siblings at hockey games, it was when they supported

their billet siblings that the bonding really happened.

Brouwer felt that he saw glimpses of himself, “growing up, the junior hockey teams in Lethbridge were always my role models and I looked up to them. I promised myself one day that I wanted to be like that and be someone’s hero.”

Brouwer added, “I don’t show a lot of emotion off the ice, and I’m not sure if [my billet brother] actually knows how proud I am of him, but just watching him grow up and become a young

The Johnston’s with Kenaan Haase. man and fall in love with the sport the way so many of us do was great.”

The Halls billeted Brouwer and shared “[Our] son is a goalie, so having Brouwer billet with us over the last three years was a huge asset for him. Tyson worked a lot with him whether on the ice or just being supportive at home.”

Saretsky said the highlight of his time with his billet family was watching his billet brother score and cheering him on. Saying

“it made me feel good using my skill to help a kid become a better player” Haase felt that his primary role was “the biggest role I had to play was to set a good example. I really wanted them to see that taking risks and pursuing your dreams, no matter how scary it may be, is definitely worth it!”

Being a role model and older brother was s new for some players, Brouwer shared, “I never had a brother growing up… but I would say I just learned

how to be a role model to him and help him day to day.”

In the end these players felt that billeting made their junior hockey experience. Brouwer finished saying that, “[It was] truly an amazing experience, I had some of the best times of my life playing junior and will forever be grateful for the people I met and the time I spent in this city.”

Haase learned from his billet families “to chase my dreams and have fun doing it.”

While Saretsky

capped it off, “being away from home helps you grow more independent and sort of sets you up for life away from mom and dad.”

If you are interested in becoming a billet family, Billet Coordinator Jodi L’Heureux says you need to have a spare bedroom with a bed and a dresser. She says the biggest commitment is to provide nutritious meals, in particular dinner. To sign up call Jodi at (250) 4279833 or email jodilheureux@telus.net.

Candice Bergen is the Conservative critic for natural resources. resource development.

Candice Bergen, the Tory opposition critic for natural resources, is also in Cranbrook to meet with local mining associations and companies, including Teck Coal, to gather feedback on the state of the industry.

She slammed the federal Liberal government for adding more red tape to the process of approving natural resource development projects and accused them of being unaware of the current status of the Dominion Coal Blocks, two

parcels of land adding up to 20,000 hectares that has been federally owned since 1905.

“We definitely are disappointed with their lack of promotion of Canadian natural resources,” said Bergen. “They seem to be almost apologizing instead of doing what I think good leaders should do in Canada, and that’s be proud about our clean technology, about our responsible way of developing Canadian natural resources and the jobs they create.”

Bergen defended the former Conservative majority government and said that the issue of divesting the coal blocks was an issue it was addressing, led by former Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks.

“We were moving it forward,” Bergen said. “It was on our radar, there were a number of different MPs that David worked with — Ted Menzies, the late Jim Flaherty. We are, fundamentally as Conservatives, really proud of natural resources and we don’t think this coal should be left in the ground, it should be used to make steel and this is what David Wilks was doing and promoting.”

The Elk Valley is home to the second largest active metallurgical coal mines in the world, that directly and indirectly employ 20,000. Teck Coal operates metallurgical coal mines at Elkview, Coal Mountain, Fording River, Greenhills and Line Creek. The company shelved a plan to expand operations at Coal Mountain last year.

Bergen admits that the price of coal, which as trended downwards to $40 a short ton since reaching a peak of over $120 back in 2009.

Despite the tumbling price, Bergen says the coal blocks is generating interest from the industry, but adds that the Liberal government isn’t doing enough to promote it.

“There is an interest as far as companies wanting to develop this,” she said. “I wish it could’ve happened a lot faster and that’s definitely what we’d be advocating for, but there’s no excuse now for it to be just sitting.

“I think the frustration is that the Liberals aren’t even aware of it. That’s concerning.”

Take Guiding with you all your life Girl Guides of Canada registering members, leaders in Cranbrook, Kimberley, Creston BARRY COULTER

Registration is underway for membership into a venerable Canadian organization that still has great relevance today.

For more than 100 years, the Girl Guides of Canada (GGC) has been enriching the lives of girls and young women — guides and leaders both — and the Mountain View Unit of the GGC, which includes Cranbrook, Kimberley and Creston, is looking for more members. Cranbrook itself has 88 members, both girls and leaders, and the Guides are looking to boost its presence elsewhere in the region.

“We’d love to see Creston and Kimberley grow in terms of leaders and girls,” said Deondra Langley. Langley knows Girl Guides as well as anybody. She was started out in the organization as a girl in 1995, and has been giving back as a leader for the past four years.

“One of our catchphrases is: ‘You loved it as a girl, come back as a leader,’” Langley said.

“I came away with a lot of friends. I went to a lot of camps, I travelled a lot around the country, and there was always fun, friendships and new adventures.”

Guides learn camping and fire skills, compass and tracking skills.

Girls come away from their experiences with confidence, self-esteem, leadership skills and an appreciation of the value of community service.

“They are able to be themselves without having to worry about it,” Langley said. They learn how to communicate, they learn a lot about history — it’s a practical hands-on education.”

Members earn badges as they go, for

such things as First Aid, sewing, Sports, Community Involvement, Animal Lore — “practically whatever you’re interested in.”

There are more than 200 badges in Guides along that girls can earn.

“You do need to work to earn it,” Langley said. “You have to do the research, take the extra steps…”

And once girls get to Rangers, they can earn high school credits through their involvement with the GGC, and there are scholarships and bursaries they can apply for.

From Kindergarten through Grade 12 — Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers — girls’ immersion in the Girl Guides of Canada is uniformly positive, Langley said. And it translates to the other

side of the experience — being a leader, which brings its own set of rewards, including becoming an adult role model BEGINITAL>and<ENDITAL a friend (you have to be 19 or older to become a leader).

Langley stressed that you shouldn’t think of being a guide leader as a job.

“You can take guiding with you all your life,” Langley said. “It’s a life experience that enriches its members, both girls and leaders.

For more information or to register, email guider.dee@hotmail.com, or call 250417-9070.

The Girl Guides of Canada will also be taking full registration in person on Wednesday, Sept. 7, at the Cranbrook Curling Club, from 6 p.m. To 8 p.m.

Rodrigo Duterte and the UN R odrigo Duterte, the new president of the Philippines, gives good copy.

Here’s a quote from his final election rally: “Forget the laws on human rights.

If I make it to the presidential palace, I will do just what I did as mayor. You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I’d kill you. I’ll dump all of you into Manila Bay, and fatten all the fish there.”

And here’s another, from last Sunday, after United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime condemned Mr Duterte’s “apparent endorsement of extrajudicial killings.”

“I do not want to insult you,” Duterte said. (He only called them “stupid”.) “But maybe we’ll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations. If you are that rude, we might just as well leave. So take us out of your organisation.

You have done nothing. Never. Except to criticise.”

What upset Ban Ki-moon and the UNDOC is the fact that Duterte is having people murdered. Since he took office three months ago, some 900 “suspected drug-dealers” have been shot dead by police and civilian vigilantes acting in his name. None was found guilty by a court, and some, of course, were completely innocent.

Duterte is not denying it or apologising.

Before he leaves office, he says, he’ll just give himself an amnesty: “Pardon given to Rodrigo Duterte for the crime of multiple murder, signed Rodrigo Duterte.”

“The Punisher”, as he was known when he was mayor of Davao, is very serious about his “war on drugs”: he recently said he would kill his own children if they took

drugs. But crime is not the Philippines’ biggest problem, and it’s not clear what else he is serious about.

He talks vaguely about making the Philippines a federal country, but no details of his policies and plans have emerged. In fact, he has spent most of the time since his election down south in his Davao stronghold, not in Manila.

But he does have a plan of sorts for what to do after he walks out of the United Nations. He says he may ask China and African countries to walk out too and form a Gwynne rival organisation. He doesn’t know much about Dyer China or Africa, so maybe he thinks they would like to get together and defy the parts of the world where governments believe that killing people is wrong.

“Duterte Harry” (another nickname) is very popular in the Philippines, but he is not really a threat to global order. The hundred million Filpinos will have to live with him for the next six years, but the United Nations is not doomed. In fact, it is doing better than most people give it credit for.

One proof of this is the fact that the Secretary General now has the right to criticise a member government merely for killing its own citizens. That’s not what it was designed for. When it was created in 1945, as the catastrophe of the Second World War was ending, its main goal was to prevent any more wars like that.

The founders tried to give it the appearance of a broader moral force by signing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, but that was mainly window-dressing. The UN was created by the great powers to prevent any government from launching another war of international

aggression, not to make governments treat their own citizens better.

In fact, each major power was effectively guaranteed the right to do whatever it wanted to its own citizens, so long as it did not attack the neighbours. In this, the new UN was just recognising reality, for every great power was determined to preserve its own “sovereignty”. Even for smaller powers, the great powers could rarely agree on what kind of intervention was desirable, and who should do it.

The UN has done well in its original task: it shares the credit with nuclear weapons for the fact that no great power has fought any other for the past 71 years.

It has gradually moved into other areas like peace-keeping and promoting the rule of law in the world, but it never interferes inside the territory of the great powers. Even in smaller countries it almost never intervenes without the invitation of the local government.

So when Duterte called the UN useless because “if you are really true to your mandate, you could have stopped all these wars and killings,” he was talking through his hat. Besides, he would never accept UN intervention in his own country to deal with an alleged crime wave. He’s just talking tough because he hates being criticised.

It’s very unlikely that he will carry out his threat. The UN is the keystone in the structure of international law that, among many other things, deters China from settling its territorial dispute with the Philippines by force. Rodrigo Duterte is just a problem for the Philippines, not for the UN or the world.

BY WIN DINN & STUDENTS

Creative adult play has been the focus of Win Dinn’s mixed media workshops for the last ten years. Her intent has been to remind adults about the fun they had as children when engaged in creative pursuits. Then, the outcome was not a specific goal but a happy occurrence regardless of beauty or function, and play was the only driving force.

Ice add former NHLer to coaching staff Roman Vopat joins Kootenay Ice as assistant coach following two seasons with Prince George Cougars

TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice added some valuable experience behind the bench Tuesday morning, announcing the hiring of former NHL forward Roman Vopat as an assistant coach.

“We are thrilled to have Roman join our staff,” said Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Kootenay Ice, in a team release. “His experience both as a player and coach will be a much welcome addition.

“We will all benefit from his presence as he will be a tremendous resource to our young players and can help our veteran players further understand the effort it takes to succeed in this game.”

The 40-year-old Vopat joins head coach Luke Pierce, 33, and assistant coach Gordon Burnett, 35.

Pierce and Burnett are entering their second campaign in Cran-

brook, while Vopat comes to the East Kootenay following two seasons in Prince George as an assistant coach with the Cougars alongside former Ice bench boss Mark Holick.

“I’m really excited,” Pierce said Tuesday morning. “Anytime you can add any type of willing help there, it’s a positive, especially a guy who’s got experience coaching in our league for a couple of years and working with a guy like Mark Holick, who’s got a ton of experience.

“You add in his experiences as a player and I think he’s a tremendous addition to our staff and will certainly complement Gord and I.” Vopat, a native of Litvinov, Czech Republic, also served as the head coach of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Kimberley Dynamiters for the 2011-12 season before departing midway through the 2012-13

campaign.

Prior to his coaching career, Vopat played 16 seasons of professional hockey, including 133 games in the NHL, split between the St. Louis Blues, Los Angeles Kings, Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers.

“He’s got a lot of experience working with specific skill areas,” Pierce said of Vopat. “In talking with Mark [Holick] up there and with Roman, he really enjoys that part of the game — helping players with individual skills, whether that be face-offs or different shooting things. The skill part of the game is such a big part of your teaching nowadays.

Having another guy there that’s willing to spend some time after practice to work with kids and do some oneon-one stuff will be huge.

“I think it will be a pretty easy transition for him. What he’s used to doing in Prince George will be very similar to

what he will do here.”

Vopat was a seventh-round pick (172nd overall) of the Blues at the 1994 NHL Entry Draft. He played two seasons in the Western Hockey League, skating in 94 games split between the Moose Jaw Warriors (1994-95) and Prince Albert Raiders (1995-96). Over his two WHL campaigns, the 6-foot-3, 220-pound forward registered 38 goals and 63 points.

After wrapping up his NHL career following the 1998-99 season, Vopat spent the next 12 seasons playing professionally in Europe.

During his NHL career, Vopat was famously part of a transaction that included Wayne Gretzky.

On Feb. 26, 1996, the Blues dealt Vopat, along with Craig Johnson, Patrice Tardif and a pair of draft picks, to the Kings in exchange for The Great One, who went on to play 18 regular season games and 13 post-season contests in St. Louis.

COURTESY KOOTENAY ICE

Former NHL forward Roman Vopat has been hired as an assistant coach by the Kootenay Ice. Vopat and his wife Natalie reside in Cranbrook year-round with their sons — 11-yearold Brayden and nine-

year-old Nicholas.

The newest member of the Ice coaching staff will get down to business starting this Sunday, as

players report for fitness testing before training camp gets underway Monday, Aug. 29.

Dynamiters set to open training camp Head coach Derek Stuart adds pair of Alberta products to roster ahead of weekend

TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

With training camp right around the corner, Derek Stuart, head coach and general manager of the Kimberley Dynamit-

ers continues to bring in bodies in an effort to bolster his lineup for the 2016-17 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season.

Tuesday afternoon, Stuart confirmed the

signings of Troy Feldbusch — an 18-year-old native of Coaldale, Alta. — and Logan Middleton — an 18-year-old product of Picture Butte, Alta.

The two forwards bring a variety of attri-

butes to the table. Middleton provides a 6-foot1, 175-pound body and much needed size, while Feldbusch is slighter at 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds.

While no role is determined prior to training camp, Stuart sees plenty of potential in both skaters after assessing them at a recent joint identification camp hosted by the Dynamiters and Calgary Canucks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

“I invited them both to the camp to see them, first of all, and then to let them know where they would stand with us before coming to our main camp,” Stuart said Tuesday afternoon.

“They can both skate… They both have skills… They both bring a little bit of different things. Troy is a smaller guy, but he’s real, real fast and he’s got a lot of

offensive upside. Logan is a bit bigger, but he can skate for a big guy. He’s not afraid to throw his weight around, as well.”

Feldbusch— who Stuart characterized as speedy — spent the past three seasons playing out of the Notre Dame Hockey program in Wilcox, Sask.

During the 2015-16 campaign, he registered four goals and 13 assists in 42 games with the Midget AAA Argos.

The 2015-16 season saw Middleton — described as physical by Stuart — skate with the Taber Golden Suns of the South Central Alberta Midget AA Hockey League. In 38 games, Middleton posted 15 goals and 31points.

“If they both pan out

like they should, they should be able to contribute offensively as well,” Stuart said.

Both Feldbusch and Middleton will get their first real opportunity to show off their chops this coming weekend at the Kimberley Civic Centre as Stuart and the Dynamiters open the club’s 2016 training camp.

“I’m excited,” Stuart said.

“We could have 12 veterans back… The veteran presence is a bit of a surprise from a month or so ago, where it looked like we were going to have maybe just three or four at camp or returning.

There’s a good chance we could have eight or nine guys back from last year’s team. I guess what I’m trying to say, from

my point of view, it’s a little bit of a relief that we have more veterans than I thought we did.

“We have a lot of good rookies who are definitely going to challenge them for roles.

The leadership group is a lot stronger with some of these veterans just being at camp.”

Players are set to report for registration at 2 p.m. on Friday, with onice sessions beginning at 4:30 p.m. Camp will wrap up Sunday with final on-ice sessions running from 9 a.m. through 1:15 p.m. Exactly how Sunday’s schedule breaks down will be determined as the weekend plays out.

Stuart expects to have 45 to 50 players in camp, including as many as 10 returning players.

Cranbrook’s Jace Coyle back in North America with ECHL’s Quad City Mallards TAYLOR ROCC A

Cranbrook product Jace Coyle is returning to North America after two seasons in Europe.

The Quad City Mallards of the ECHL announced the signing of the 26-year-old defenceman on Aug. 17.

“We’ve missed a point man on the power play who could control the puck, make good passes and take quality shots on goal and with Jace we now have that kind of player,” said Terry Ruskowski, head coach and general manager of the Mallards, in a team release. “He could be a huge asset for us because the game has changed and you need a defenceman to come up into the play to create an odd-man rush and Jace is a guy who can do that and help us teach the younger guys as well.”

Following a four-year Western Hockey League career with the Spokane Chiefs and Medicine Hat Tigers, Coyle turned pro after signing with the NHL’s Dallas Stars. From 2011-12 through 2013-

14, he went on to play 61 games in the American Hockey League with the Texas Stars and Lake Erie Monsters, while also suiting up in 113 ECHL games, split between the Idaho Steelheads and Fort Wayne Comets.

The 2014-15 campaign took Coyle to Denmark, where he played in 36 games with the Aalborg Pirates, registering 19 points in 36 games.

In 2015-16, Coyle moved to the Sheffield Steelers of the Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) in the United Kingdom.

With the Steelers, the 6-foot, 179-pound blueliner collected 34 points in 64 regular season games en route to a EIHL championship.

Coyle’s junior career saw him register 107 points in 241 regular season games in Medicine Hat, where he also won a WHL championship and Memorial Cup title with the Tigers in 2008.

Prior to landing with the Tigers, the East Kootenay native skated with the Kootenay International Junior Hockey

“I need to see guys that will compete in practice, in games that we have scheduled, definitely guys that are willing to battle, work hard and make themselves tough to play against,” Stuart said. “I want to ice a team this year that, at the very least, other teams say, ‘I don’t want to play the Kimberley Dynamiters.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

Week of August 21 - 27 Dave Humphrey Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook History Centre Archives

1904

Get busy … Every business man in Cranbrook should make a special effort to decorate his place for Labor Day. Let the visitors see when they come to town

one of the prettiest streets in the district. Get out the flags and bunting and see which place will attract the most attention for the beauty of its decorations.

Labor day … September 5th

will be a gala day for this part of the district. Cranbrook will be the centre of festivities that day, and hundreds of people will turn this way. Last year’s celebration of Labor Day was a great success, but the celebration this year will eclipse any previous effort in this section of the country.

Cranbrook beer ... is a Success! --The People have Given Their Verdict!!

All over the district the demand for CRANBROOK BEER is increasing.

Moyie, Marysville, Kimberley, Jaffray, Fort Steele, Wasa, Morrissey, and Morrissey Mines are sending in orders faster than they can be filled. The people want the Beer. It is Pure, it has Body, it is Pleasing to the Taste, it is made from Pure Spring Water, it is what the People Want and it is what They are Asking For. When you drink beer ask for CRANBROOK BEER, the beer that is making Cranbrook famous. It is the best. Drink it once and you will drink no other. CRANBROOK BREWING AND MALTING COMPANY, LIMITED Missing … The friends of Al. Guinley, the blacksmith, are worried over that gentleman’s disappearance a week ago last Sunday. He left Mr. Hanley’s barn where he had been talking to some friends and so far as anyone knows he has not been seen since. He is an old timer in this district and has a host of friends.

Catch the curs … The dynamiting of fish should be followed up. It is quite evident that the practice is not uncommon by any means. No one but a cowardly cur would use dynamite for catching fish, and if the guilty parties could be captured and properly punished it would have a most salutary effect upon anyone else who contemplated such work.

Fish story … L. M. Mansfield and James Balfour have set the “Isaac Waltons” around town crazy with stories about trout in St. Marys Lake so large that they could not land them in a boat even with the help of a landing net. There are five or six parties being organized in town to go to the lake and if those trout are not doing business at the same old stand, it will not be safe for either Mansfield or Balfour to show themselves for a long time.

Let the contract ... The contract for a greater portion of the water mains for the Waterworks Company was let last Saturday and already work is under headway, a big gang of men being employed. The contract for the balance will be let in a few days, and no time will be lost in pushing the work. It is expected that the mains will be laid on the principal streets before the ground is frozen and that all of the business district will have water and fire protection.

Tennis tournament … There will be an open tennis tournament for the Kootenays on the 5th of September at the Tennis Club grounds in Cranbrook. Entries close Saturday evening, September 3rd.

1905 Roads again … The street crossings are in a bum condition. The government ought to distribute a little of their surplus up here, But, pshaw! It’s not election time.

Crow pie … The other day a man got off at Kitchener and espied an old Italian friend of his, a section man, running up and down the platform with a most agonizing look on his face and holding his stomach with his hands. “What’s the matter Santo?” asked the friend. “Oh, sicka da bell; sicka da bell.” “Yes, too bad. but what caused it?” “Oh, sicka da bell; too much da ‘black chick.’” And the native son of Italy kept on groaning. Upon enquiry it turned out that the Italians camping at Kitchener have been having great sport killing crows and eating them.

New decoration … The galvanized iron store front for Reid & Go’s store has arrived, and is being put up by Patmore Bros. When finished it will be a splendid piece of work and will give the store an up-to-date appearance, which will be a credit to the town.

Picnic outing … The members of the Presbyterian Sunday school gave their annual picnic last Wednesday.

They procured rigs and drove to a pleasant spot about three miles down the mission road, where races and other sports were pulled off. About six o’clock the tempting victuals, which held the children in suspense, were indulged in. The day was perfect and everybody reports having a good time.

Visit the Imperial … All who have visited the Imperial hotel of late are very complimentary in their remarks on the management’s enterprise in arranging such a costly and handsome bar-room. But the fixtures are not the only things that are of a superior order. Everything that is placed over the mahogany is of first class quality. The customer can order a choice cigar, a straight “jolt” or a mixed drink and depend upon his getting the real thing. Nor is the dining-room to be overlooked. This branch of the business is carefully looked after and a twenty-five cent meal is served that many epicures declare is worth fifty. You cannot do better than look up the Imperial when in quest of a drink, a smoke, a meal or a bed.

Funds needed … The lacrosse club is not in a very good shape financially as the trip the boys made was a heavy expense. Cranbrook has a first-class team this year and the boys are deserving of every assistance. No money has been wasted and every cent can be accounted for and this will be done by a complete business statement being made. In the meantime anyone who feels like contributing a dollar or more can send it to the secretary, James Arnold.

Bush fires … There are some terrible bush fires in the vicinity of Cranbrook. One is raging in the direction of Robinson-McKenzie’s sawmill and another is destroying a vast amount of timber in the vicinity of Patton’s lake, about two miles west of town. A bad bush fire was started about fifty yards from the residential portion of the city and it was only by the combined efforts of a bunch of citizens that saved that part of the town. Every precaution should be taken in regard to fires of this kind, for if a fire got too much start it might prove disastrous.

The Cranbrook Food Bank needs your help.

DEAR ANNIE

by Annie Lane

A FLICKER OF CO-WORKER ROMANCE Dear Annie: I am a 31-year-young man with a question about a woman who is 28. This story started in August of last year with my asking this woman on a date. We work together but were in different departments at the time.

She said she doesn’t date the people she works with. I didn’t buy it, so I kept flirting with her. And she’d flirt back.

This went on until December of that year, when we saw each other in a neighborhood bar. She came up to my friend and me and pulled on the hood of my sweatshirt. Then she started to walk away, but my friend stopped her by standing in front of her. I talked to her like normal. Then I kissed her on the cheek. Then my friend left, and we hugged.

I rubbed her back, and she rubbed mine. I kissed her hand. Then she turned away, and I playfully smacked her on the butt. We left at the same time but went our separate ways.

The next day, we saw each other at work, and she came over to me and gave me a peck on the cheek.

After that, it all went downhill. I saw her sitting on another guy’s lap at work. (He works in a different department than we do.) I took it personal. Here she was, the girl I was attracted to, sitting on this guy’s lap.

I felt as if she’d lied to me. I think that maybe she’d forgotten I asked her out, but I have told her I want her to be my girlfriend on several occasions. So I think she knows how I feel about her. After all this, I’m not sure what to think. Any help would be appreciated. -- Pining Dear Pining: Dating co-workers is great -- if your goal is to save time by simultaneously ruining your personal life and your career.

I would like to know why you didn’t buy it when this woman told you she doesn’t date co-workers, because you should have bought it, thrown away the receipt and gotten the message in your head, even if she later sent mixed signals.

Save yourself a lot of strife and look for love outside the workplace. Yes, we all know happily married couples who met across the watercooler. In the right circumstances with mature individuals (and maybe a consultation with HR), it can be done. But this sounds like an astonishingly immature group. Case in point: Unless it’s Bring Your Child to Work Day, no one should be sitting on anyone’s lap at the office.

Dear Annie: I have just turned 65 and recently retired. My spouse is several years younger and not able to retire for four more years.

Although I am staying active, including handling all of the household chores, she seems to be resentful that I’m enjoying an unstructured schedule. She grills me every evening on what I did all day. Some days, I just like to sit around reading a good book. This makes her angry and makes me feel guilty. It seems as if every conversation ends in an argument.

I worked my whole life and have looked forward to this time, but now I’m considering going back to work part time at nights just to avoid this daily confrontation. -- Retirement Unrest Dear Retirement: Kick up your feet and enjoy that good book. You earned it! Jealousy is rearing its ugly head here. You haven’t done anything wrong.

With that being said, marriage is about communication. Talk to your spouse and find out why she’s so resentful. Perhaps she really can’t stand her job right now. Show empathy and recognize her hard work. But don’t be afraid to remind her that you are in fact taking care of all the household chores. When we’re cranky, we become expert at zeroing in on all the things our partner isn’t doing and forget to have gratitude for all the things our partner does for us.

Dismal sockeye run worst in 120 years

Low return was expected, unlike 2009 disaster JEFF NAGEL Black Press

The worst return of sockeye salmon to the Fraser River in more than a century has kept the commercial fishery shut down and curtailed aboriginal food fishing.

The run size estimate of 853,000 returning sockeye – the lowest on record since 1893 – is barely one third of the 2.3 million salmon that had been expected to come back this summer.

Only twice before in the past century has the Fraser run dipped below one million.

Mike Lapointe, the chief biologist for the Pacific Salmon Foundation, agrees this year’s return is bad, but says it’s not a catastrophe on the same scale as 2009, when millions of Fraser sockeye unexpectedly went missing and triggered the Cohen Inquiry.

“I’m not sure I agree with people characterizing it as a disaster,” Lapointe said. “When you start from a spot that’s already pretty low and you get poorer than average conditions, unfortunately you can get this type of return that’s very low but not completely out of the realm of possibility.”

Pre-season estimates indicated there was a one-in-10 chance the run could be this poor.

In contrast, 2009’s return of 1.5 million was proportionally much lower than the more than 10 million sockeye anticipated and called into question the models used by fishery managers.

The bulk of sockeye in this year’s Fraser run were destined for the Chilko Lake system.

Lapointe said their rate of return will likely be around 20 adult spawners for every 1,000 juveniles that went to sea.

That’s much less than usual, but in 2009 the Chilko return rate was just three per 1,000.

Sockeye return on a four-year cycle and this part of the cycle is traditionally the lowest, so

expectations weren’t high.

But wildly inconsistent salmon returns seem to be increasingly prevalent as the cycle gets more lopsided.

In 2010, the Fraser welcomed back a record 30 million sockeye.

And Lapointe said 2018 could once again be a big year, and even 2017 might exceed 10 million salmon, based on the number of adults that previously spawned.

There are also signs marine conditions that have been bad for a few years could improve.

A warm water blob in the North Pacific that’s thought to have reduced the food supply and attracted predators since 2014 has dissipated.

Lapointe said the recent results throw up more questions than answers.

“Is this a pattern that’s going to become more frequent because the ocean is becoming less of a favourable place for juvenile salmon?”

Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Aaron Hill agreed this summer’s record low return may not be as big a surprise and could soon reverse, but added the consequences right now are severe for First Nations who depend on salmon.

He listed past overfishing, viruses and parasites from salmon farms and extraction of water from the watershed as some of the factors that may be harming salmon populations.

“But the big one compounding all these other stressors is the climate,” Hill said.

“Not only is it the worst return on record but the fish swimming up the river are swimming into river water that’s lethally warm. A lot of fish won’t even make it to the spawning grounds. We just don’t know how many.”

More variability and wild swings in the salmon cycle appear likely, Hill added.

WILLMOTT, GRAINE FREDA 1954 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2016

On the afternoon of Tuesday, August 9, 2016, Graine Freda Willmott passed away peacefully at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital with her family by her side. Graine was born in Pershore, England on December 31, 1954.

Everyone who knew Graine knew of her beautiful and giving nature. She had the kindest heart and always took time for her friends. Most of all, family was her world. She literally would do anything she could to help her children and grandchildren.

Graine was a caregiver all of her life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from caring for her siblings, to her own children, to her beloved grandchildrenâ&#x20AC;Ś.and she loved every minute of it.

Graine worked for 25 years with Telus and still has many good friends from her time there. For the past 11 years she worked at the Tamarack Centre in the administration office. She enjoyed her job there and really loved helping put the Cops for Kids fundraiser together each year. One of Graineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest passions was the time she spent with YBC coaching the young girls in bowling. She spent many hours at the bowling alley volunteering, coaching and competing. Bowling and all the activity around it was one of her true loves!

Graine leaves to cherish her memory her beloved husband of 43 years, Graham; her son Scott (Dawn) and children and her daughter, Ilia (Chris) and children. Also left is Graineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Stirling (Linda) Bates and sister Paula (Rob) Bohan. Graine also leaves many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly. Waiting for her in her next journey are her parents, Fred and Margaret (McEwan) Bates, her mother-in-law May Willmott, her sister-in-law Sue Willmott and her niece, Venae Bohan.

A private family interment has taken place.

A Celebration of Graineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2016 at the Cranbrook Senior Citizens Hall, 125 17 Ave S, Cranbrook from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Because of Graineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of animals and her pets, the family would appreciate memorial donations be made in her memory to the SPCA, PO Box 2, Cranbrook, BC V1C 4H6.

TAYLOR ROCC A

Days after the closing of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Canadians are still relishing the performances put forth by the nation’s best, including a strong showing from a number of B.C. athletes.

Canada’s contingent struck success at the Rio Games, accomplishing its goal of finishing in the top 12 of the overall medal count. In total, Canadian athletes laid claim to 22 medals — four better than the 18 achieved at the 2012 London Olympics — and finished 10th in the medal standings.

Overall, the Canadian Olympic team earned four gold medals, three silver medals and 15 bronze medals.

Within that tally, 12 athletes hailing from B.C. brought home hardware from Rio, including team medals in sports such as swimming, soccer, cycling, rugby and rowing.

“British Columbia’s athletes and coaches showcased to Canada, and the world, what we are capable of,” said Christy Clark, Premier of B.C., in a press release. “Our athletes significantly contributed to Team Canada’s medal count, but perhaps even more than that, they inspired another generation of young Canadians to dream big and participate in international sport.”

Leading the way, Kelowna’s Taylor Ruck earned two bronze medals in swimming in the 100-metre relay and 200-metre relay.

Other medal winners from B.C. include: Kayla Moleschi (Williams Lake, bronze in rugby), Emily Overholt (Vancouver, bronze in swimming), Lindsay Jennerich (Victoria, silver in rowing), Patricia Obee (Victoria, silver in rowing), Hilary Caldwell (White Rock, bronze in

“We are very proud of our local athletes that competed in the Olympic Games and I am thrilled that so many of them were able to realize their dreams of reaching the podium,” said Peter Fassbender, B.C.’s minister of community, sport and cultural development, in a press release.

“This province came together over the past 16 days to cheer on our athletes and each and every one of them should be proud of their efforts on the world stage.”

Canada finished 10th in the overall medal standings, while the United States sat atop the leaderboard with 121 medals (46-37-38).

Rounding out the top five: China (26-18-26, 70 medals); Great Britain (27-23-17, 67); Russia (19-18-19, 56), and; Germany (17-10-15, 42).

The Canadian Olympic team was comprised of 314 athletes, 142 of which had a connection to B.C., including 68 calling B.C. home.

The 22 medals won

by Canada rank as the second-highest total in the nation’s Summer Olympics history. The best performance in Canadian Summer Olympic history came at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where Canada struck for 44 medals, including 10 gold, 18 silver and 16 bronze. Canada previously won 22 medals at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta (3-11-8).
