Lockout

$ 10

Employees turn down final City offer C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

The City of Kimberley is headed for a lockout, as Thursday members of Steelworkers Local 1-405 rejected a final offer from the City. Under the Labour Code, the City of Kimberley had one opportunity to appeal directly to members and present them with the final offer. The Steelworkers’ bargaining committee has been urging members to reject the offer. And that they did with a count of 65 out of 70 voting no to the offer. In response the City issued a 72 hour lockout notice, which will go into effect Sunday, August 29 at 5 p.m. “There had been some hope of reaching an agreement through mediation,” says Chief Administrative Officer Scott Sommerville. “However, on the final day the union committee chair did not bother to attend the mediation and the union added conditions to the previous day’s agreement on a four-year term. This along with the rejection of a number of the City’s proposals then led the City’s bargaining committee to present a best and final offer, which was also rejected. With talks breaking down again, the City then chose to

present the offer directly to our employees as a last hope of avoiding a work stoppage.” Jeff Bromley, of the Steelworkers Bargaining Committee says that the vote reinforces what the committee has been doing. “The agreement was full of errors, mistakes... it was confusing, and the membership wasn’t prepared to accept it.” Bromley says while he is gratified by the vote, members now face the issue of a lockout. However, the committee is prepared to go back to the table at any time, he said. “As soon as the votes were counted I walked over to the HR manager and said we are ready to go back to the table at any time. But a couple of minutes later, I had the lockout notice in my email.” “The City remains committed to the process of negotiating a new collective agreement that is fair and reasonable to employees and taxpayers and that allows the City to efficiently deliver services,” Sommerville said. “The City’s bargaining team remains available for negotiations.

Laird Siemens has been involved with the chaplaincy program at the hospital for the last six years. “The staff appreciate us and we really appreciate the staff,” Siemens said. “We know that the physical, psychological, mental needs are well met by the staff, and that’s where we come in — we have the spiritual component, so they appreciate that and we appreciate them.” A committee with representation from five local churches, senior EKRH management and members of the community oversee the program, which is supported by donations from local and regional churches, along with service groups, individuals and the Interior Health Authority.

we go through in life.” Knight also has experiences in her personal life where family members and relatives were in hospice or palliative care. “I was always struck by how there seems to be people, oftentimes, in the bed next to your loved one, somebody who doesn’t have anyone to talk to and it’s not necessarily talking about their faith or their religion, but it’s just actually having a person to talk to, to recognize that they’re also suffering and going through some tough times,” Knight said. Knight is currently working on her Master of Psychotherapy and Spirituality through St. Stephen’s College at the University of Alberta and is a visual artist, working primarily with watercolours. Members of the Spiritual Care Program work in two-week blocks, and are on site at the hospital on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, as well as being on-call after their shift.

There is a new member with the East Kootenay Regional Hospital Spiritual Care program, as Teresa Knight has come on board to join the team. Knight joins Laird Siemens, Bob Jones and Jody Hackett, who provide spiritual care to patients, patients families and hospital staff. Knight, who has lived in Cranbrook for the last 11 years after moving to the area from Ontario, officially started working with the program in mid-August. After some conversations with Siemens, along with some personal reflection, Knight decided to get involved. “It’s an answer to a calling that I felt,” Knight said. “I’ve been involved in hospice care for several years, I worked in palliative care when I lived back in Ontario and I’ve always been drawn to companioning people when they’re at that point in life where they could use some support, spiritually, and just as another human being, to walk through the trials and the tribulations that

More than 250 volunteers have signed up to compile a survey of seniors in residential care, and B.C.’s Seniors Advocate is looking for more. The 27,000 seniors living in 300 residential care facilities around the province are being asked about their experience with care home staff, the quality of food, privacy, medications and other conditions. It’s the first comprehensive survey done in B.C., to measure resident satisfaction and provide a “roadmap” for improvements, said Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie. Interviews will be conducted in person by trained volunteers, and a matching mail-out survey will be sent to each resident’s most frequent visitor. To apply as a volunteer, visit www.surveybcseniors.org or call the Office of the Seniors Advocate at 1-877-952-3181.

The Book Of Man And Woman, through song and satire BARRY COULTER

touches on every entry from A-Z, telling the story of Man and Woman through song and satire. This latest presentation by Turner & Adler Productions, a musical by Joe Dipietro and Jimmy Roberts, explores the glorious compendium of love through a series of un-

connected vignettes, or short stories — from the Garden of Eden to the aged widow and widower meeting at a wake, and all points in between. Lover, you will see yourself throughout this play, many times. The four players — Jerrod Bondy, David Booth, Jelena Jensen and Clara MacLeod, displaying their acting chops to the fullest, play multiple roles, and capture every aspect of Love (with a capital l) that you’ve dreamed about and dreaded. Meeting, dating, sex and marriage, and long lives together. • We hear in painful detail the inner voices of women on the date from hell. • We see a couple, meeting for the first time, quickly negotiate their way through a year’s-long relationship. • A revealing, agonized monologue by Rose Ritz, trying to “get back in the game” by recording her first dating video. • The loneliest threesome — the bachelor visiting his friends the married couple — new parents, to boot. Oh, the social horror! • My personal favourite: The classic, almost stereotypical CHRIS NEWEL PHOTO phone call from a lonesome single woman to her co-demother, those residing in the pendent which transforms into neighbourhood.

Speed Watch assists police in traffic safety FOR THE BULLETIN

Responding to concerns raised by local residents the Kimberley RCMP have stepped up enforcement in a number of areas including Norton Ave and St Mary’s Lake Road. In addition to police presence, Speed Watch play a role in traffic safety. Speed Watch volunteers monitor vehicle speed to educate drivers and raise awareness. In addition the stats obtained are reviewed by police to obtain a better idea of the traffic flow and problems. Warning letters are also sent to those drivers exceeding the discretionary limit. “The volunteers are a key component in our traffic safety initiative and we really appreciate their dedication to making your community safer,” Sgt. Chris Newel, Kimberley RCMP. Police recognize that Norton Ave

And it could be your’s! • A commercial for a law firm whose intervention will guarantee you satisfying sex — or a hefty settlement will result. And in case you were worrying, there are plenty of meddlesome parents, intervening in your relationship, making you feel worse about yourself. But it’s not all satire and comedy at the expense of those who would love and be loved. There are thoughtful and intimate reflections on longing, on the depths that love can reach, on the strength with which it hangs on in our lives. But the true spirit of this play is captured in the affectionate but waggish closing number — “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” The play of the same name runs at Centre 64 in Kimberley through Saturday, August 27. “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” starts Jerrod Bondy, David Booth, Jelena Jensen and Clara MacLeod. It is directed by Tylene Turner, with Elizabeth Adler as Music Director. Showtime at 7:30 p.m. Sharp.

The 108 K distance was won by Mandi Goudie in 16 hours, 41 minutes and Bruno Bergeron in 14 hours, 36 minutes. Race organizer Brian Gallant of Sinister Sports says the race went very well. “We had a number of elite runners who said they were really impressed with both the course and the area itself. A number of new course records were set, including the Women’s 54k, the Men’s 54k, the Women’s 108k, and the 108k Relay. The response across the board was all positive. We did have a few people af-

In almost every American election, it is that portion of the electorate that remains undecided heading into the fall that eventually decides the election. That group of undecided voters is usually mulling over who has the best plan, the best platform to lead the country. This time, they are mulling over who they dislike least. Never before have two so unpopular candidates begged for votes. It’s a hold your nose and vote situation. Let’s just hope the mass of undecideds don’t decide the choice is so unpalatable they don’t vote at all. Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Bulletin

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Faith and facts

I always look for Rev. Yme’s weekly articles. They are sure to be thought -provoking. Of course, I often disagree. For instance, his latest — “More than a personal relationship”(Townsman Aug. 19, 2016) — castigates the “Me Generation” (just a new label). I contend that all animal life, including human, is, and always has been, essentially self-centered. Survival depends upon it! That is not to say that we ignore or dismiss others. Enlightened self-interest forces us to acknowledge our dependence on others and requires us to be concerned for the well-being of others, human and non-human, near and afar. Relating this to religious belief, as Rev. Yme does, we must bear in mind that here we are dealing with faith, not fact. These two are quite distinct, even mutually exclusive. While a Religion would be mass-produced,” one size fits all”, Faith, on the other hand, is intensely personal. Each of us should feel free to believe whatever is needed, whatever satisfies. To my mind, faith is custom-made; if it doesn’t fit, it is not comfortable. And comfort is key. Bud Abbott Cranbrook

Some Questions

After reading Mr. Bell’s letter to the Editor in the August 2 paper requesting the mayor’s response, which there has never been any that I am aware of, which does not surprise me, I have a few questions for the Mayor. If there is a toxic relationship between city management and employees, which I believe there is, why doesn’t management try to correct it? You have to remember that it took a lot of years of bargaining to get to where they are now. Why would you want to go backward with having to give up what was bargained for in good faith. I worked for the city for 34 years and even have been through a

city strike. Lucky for us we had the Cominco Union Employees’ total support. Every time there is an election, some of the candidates would tell the employees that things will change and they will be around to talk with the workers. Once elected you can kiss that goodbye. I am sure this is probably still the case today. In my opinion it would be nice if someone in upper management would take time once in a while to just talk to a random employee and ask what they think of things happening within the city works system. Another question: I am under the impression that the City blocked off the road up Kimberley Creek to the switchback overlooking the upper mine. From what I have been told the road was blocked to keep the public from going over the mountain and into Mark Creek water shed. What right does the city have blocking a logging road which is not even theirs? If the city blocked it I say shame on you. A lot of area that the public liked to spend time in was taken away. If the logging companies have done this, I guess we are all out of luck in spending time further up the mountain. I know that the city is concerned over the Mark Creek water shed and who uses it. I know more damage was done in the water shed by industry than by recreational users while I was lead hand in the water department. From the time the dam was built and put into service in 1995 until I retired in 2006, the incidents that occurred were caused by drilling and logging contractors. Next question, Mr. Mayor: When is the city going to do something about noxious weeds within city limits? In Marysville on the southeast side of the industrial land knapweed has grown to cover all these lands. It is now going around the Purcell soccer fields and is even going into Cow Creek which is land that Teck has reclaimed. All you have to do is look around and you see knapweed. If there is not enough money in the budget for noxious weeds you best put more into i t because it is getting out of hand. Lots of pretty pink flowers everywhere! If I am wrong about any of these, please correct me. B. L. Filip Marysville

of the universe and extend that compassion and friendship as far and wide as possible. Sociologists, theologians and analysts of contemporary society suggest that today’s world largely sees reality as hostile or indifferent. There is a deep sense of indifference and a cosmic loneliness. This has also been one of the central themes of art, music, movies and literature in the last century. In Woody Allen’s movie Play It Again Sam (1972), there is a scene in an art gallery. He tries to pick up a young woman who is staring at a painting by Jackson Pollock. “Nice painting,” he says. Without taking her eyes from it, she says, “It restates the negativeness of the universe, the hideous lonely emptiness of existence, nothingness, the predicament of man forced to live in a barren, godless eternity, like a tiny flame flickering in an immense void, with nothing but waste, horror, and degradation, forming a useless bleak straightjacket in a black absurd cosmos.” Allen’s movies generally come from this point of view that the world is either hostile or indifferent to us. As a result, many of his characters are neurotic and narcissistic. I suspect many of us wonder at times if reality is out to get us. So let me ask, “What image of God would be most helpful for us in our contemporary life?” It seems to me that we need more than anything a way of discerning meaning, purpose and goodness in life. For me, God’s compassion, embracing goodness, and lavish generosity gives us a place to begin. Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook

he story of a young autistic girl coming home to her estranged mother is the subject of Cranbrook Community Theatre’s upcoming new production to launch the 2016/17 season.

“Lucy” is told from the point of view of a 13-year-old autistic girl, but the story is more about her mother Vivian, a world-renowned anthropologist, who is more comfortable in her own emotional isolation from the world. When her daughter Lucy was born, Vivian found herself incapable of being a mother to her, and left her with Lucy’s father, Gavin. But 13 years later, Gavin has asked Vivian to take Lucy back — a fraught reunion around which the play revolves. “While it has an autistic character, this is more a story about a mother-daughter relationship, forgiveness and change,” said Director Trevor Lundy. “Lucy” is a challenging production, especially for its two key roles of Lucy and Vivian. Lundy took care to cast the role of Lucy early on, back in May. “It’s such an integral role, and we needed young actors, so we wanted to be sure,” he said. “We had seven girls audition, and any one of them could have got the role. But Kelsey Thompson really brought something special.” Thompson, 17, is really growing into the role as the autistic Lucy, Lundy said. “She’s really brought dignity to a role that could easily have been a

Kelsey Thompson (Lucy) and Tracy McGuire (Vivian): the two key roles in Cranbrook Community Theatre’s iupcoming production of “Lucy.” caricature.” While the play’s narrative gravitates around Lucy, it is the role of her mother Vivian — played by Tracy McGuire, — that really drives the play. “Vivian is a difficult role,” Lundy said. “Lucy, for example,

as our narrator, gets to speak to the audience in a very verbal way, but as a character she is very non-verbal. Vivian has to respond to this non-verbal role — and communicate the changes she goes through. “It’s a very challenging part,

but Tracy has really risen to it. She brings a ton of experience, and has become very grounded in the part. She’s the driving force.” CCT invited Lundy to choose a play to launch the 2016/17 season with Canada’s upcoming 150th anniversary in mind. “I was reading scripts, and this one came across the pile,” he said. “[The playwright] Damien Atkins just happened to be one of my oldest friends. He’s gone on to a successful career as a playwright; and at first I was terrified to do this play — would I be able to do it justice? “But that story about mother-daughter relationships really spoke to me, about that feeling as a parent of not being good enough, about that fear. “I’m interested in those family relationships, those dynamics. There’s nothing can be more complicated, but so universal at the same time.” Lundy explored similar themes in his play last year for CCT — “Making God Laugh.” But “Lucy” has been an entirely different directorial experience. “It’s coming to life in a different way,” he said. “There are more non-realistic aspects, for one thing. Because Lucy is our narrator, much of the play takes place in her mind.” “Lucy” also features Dean Nicholson, Michael Prestwich and Ashlee Perreault. It runs October 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22, at the Studio Stage Door in Cranbrook. New this year for CCT — Wednesday, Oct. 12, is student night. Student tickets are $10.

The Book Of Man And Woman

Lovers, you will see yourselves throughout “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” Barry Coulter

his is the Book of Man and Woman, and thus it shall ever be. The Book of Man and Woman is the Encyclopedia of Love, and the new play running at Centre 64 in Kimberley — “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Don’t Change” — touches on every entry from A-Z, telling the story of Man and Woman through song and satire. This latest presentation by Turner & Adler Productions, a musical by Joe Dipietro and Jimmy Roberts, explores the glorious compendium of love through a series of unconnected vignettes, or short stories — from the Garden of Eden to the aged widow and widower meeting at a wake, and all points in between. Lover, you will see yourself throughout this play, many times. The four players — Jerrod

From left: Jerrod Bondy, Jelena Jensen, Clara MacLeod and David Booth, who will present to you the entire Encyclopedia of Love, entry by entry, in ‘I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change,’ running through Saturday, August 27, at Centre 64 in Kimberley. Bondy, David Booth, Jelena Jensen and Clara MacLeod, displaying their acting chops to the fullest, play multiple roles, and capture every aspect of Love (with a capital l) that you’ve dreamed about and dreaded. Meeting, dating, sex and marriage, and long lives together. • We hear in painful detail the inner voices of women on the date from hell. • We see a couple, meeting for the first time,

quickly negotiate their way through a year’slong relationship. • A revealing, agonized monologue by Rose Ritz, trying to “get back in the game” by recording her first dating video. • The loneliest threesome — the bachelor visiting his friends the married couple — new parents, to boot. Oh, the social horror! • My personal favourite: The classic, almost stereotypical phone call

from a lonesome single woman to her co-dependent mother, which transforms into an opera scene with chorus of Italian pizza deliverers. • What is the destiny of the dateless man at the New Year’s Party? It’s terrifying! And it could be your’s! • A commercial for a law firm whose intervention will guarantee you satisfying sex — or a hefty settlement will result. And in case you were

worrying, there are plenty of meddlesome parents, intervening in your relationship, making you feel worse about yourself. But it’s not all satire and comedy at the expense of those who would love and be loved. There are thoughtful and intimate reflections on longing, on the depths that love can reach, on the strength with which it hangs on in our lives. But the true spirit of this play is captured in the affectionate but waggish closing number — “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” The play of the same name runs at Centre 64 in Kimberley through Saturday, August 27. “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” starts Jerrod Bondy, David Booth, Jelena Jensen and Clara MacLeod. It is directed by Tylene Turner, with Elizabeth Adler as Music Director. Showtime at 7:30 p.m. sharp.

echnology continues to evolve. With computers, tablets and smartphones, people of all ages are immersed in technology. According to the Pew Research Center, 56 percent of teens between the ages of 13 and 17 go online several times a day. Teens are not just relying on technology at home or while on the go, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also doing so in school. Schools are now recognizing how influential mobile technologies are on students and how they can shape teaching and thinking. As a result, technology is now a major component in the classroom, where educators are implementing technology to help students succeed not only in school but also after they graduate. The following are some of the growing tech trends inside of the classroom. â&#x20AC;˘ Internet connectivity: Students most often connect to the Internet using their mobile devices. Many schools have replaced their older computer labs with tablets and other mobile devices. Students can simply sit at their individual desks and connect directly to the Internet. Once online, students can access shared drives where assignments can be found or homework can be posted. â&#x20AC;˘ Tech homework: Rather than homework in the traditional sense, students are being asked to research information online and then submit assignments directly through an application like Google Classroom.

7 ways to make mornings less hectic Many families find the rush is on to make

it to school and work on time each morning. Feeling rushed in the morning is a recipe for added stress. Rushing through things is a poor way to begin a day, and those feelings of uneasiness can put a damper on the rest of the day ahead. Making mornings less hectic involves a few different strategies that parents and kids can easily incorporate into their daily routines. • Wake up slightly earlier. Getting up earlier than normal, even if it’s just 15 to 20 minutes before you’re accustomed to getting out of bed, can help reduce morning stress. Resist the temptation to hit the snooze button over and over again. A few extra minutes each morning can make you feel more relaxed and make for a smooth, stress-free start to the day. • Get some work done the night before. Prepare lunches the night before and have them ready in the refrigerator. In addition, lay your clothes for the following day out each night. This saves time and takes a couple more things off your morning to-do list. • Ease back into a routine. As a new school year dawns or a long vacation comes to an end, begin going to bed earlier and start waking up earlier as well. This can make the transition from carefree mornings to busy mornings go more smoothly. • Prep backpacks in the evening. Look through folders, sign paperwork, check assignments, and do whatever is you need to do the night before to save your family from having to scramble in the morning. This ensures those permission slips get signed and items

make it back into school bags. • Opt for school lunch a few times. Look ahead on the school lunch menu and speak with children about which meals they enjoy. Let kids purchase school lunch on those days to give yourself a day off from lunch detail. • Have quick breakfast foods available. Smoothies, cereal bars, oatmeal, and wholegrain cereals are fast and nutritious ways to start the day. • Carpool whenever possible. Busy families can save themselves extra work by proposing a neighborhood carpool. Sharing school drop off detail frees time up for parents once or twice a week, and kids may enjoy traveling to school with their friends. Mornings can be tricky when family members are getting ready for school and work at the same time. By practicing a few daily rituals, it’s possible to curb the rush and start the day happier and more relaxed.

sic and arts budget in the Los Angeles Unified School District will reach its highest point in a dozen years. While that’s great news for students, it also illustrates the sad fact that arts and music programs have taken a considerable hit in recent decades, when arts education fell victim to budget cuts. The benefits of music education extend far beyond getting kids to tap their toes. The National Association for Music Education lists the following benefits among the many reasons to support music education in schools. • Music training helps develop language skills. Studies have shown that music training contributes to the physical development of the part of the left side of the brain associated with processing language. A 2005 study from researchers at Stanford University found that mastering a musical instrument may also improve reading skills, which can benefit students both inside and outside the classroom. • Music training can improve hand-eye coordination. Studies have linked long-term music training to improved hand-eye coordination. That is likely connected to the motor skills children develop when playing musical instruments. Without those instruments, those motor skills may not develop as strongly. • Music improves concentration. Even students who cannot play a musical instrument can still benefit academically from simply lis-

tening to music. In 2007, a research team from the Stanford University School of Medicine found that music engages the areas of the brain involved with paying attention. Today’s students deal with numerous distractions, from smartphones to tablets to social media, but those who routinely listen to certain types of music might find it easier to block out those distractions and focus on their work. • Music can help students’ emotional development. A 2003 study commissioned by Chorus America found musicians are more likely than the average person to be involved in charity work as volunteers and donors. The NAfME also notes that music students may be more likely to exhibit empathy toward other cultures. • Music can improve self-esteem. In a study examining 117 fourth grade students attending public school in Montreal, a researcher at the University of Texas at Austin found that children who received piano lessons weekly for three years had higher self-esteem than children who were not given piano lessons during the same period. Neither group had participated in formal music instruction before the study, and students in both groups reported similar levels of self-esteem prior to participating in the study. Music education can enrich the lives of young students in a myriad of ways, potentially contributing to happier, more fulfilling lives.

Warrior’s code as important as the skills O Joel Hunc ar

ne of the most important principles I live by may seem old fashioned to some, but, I believe that people need to have a personal code of conduct to get through life. This is especially true of fighters and martial artists. Deadly skills need to be tempered by a disciplined spirit and strong moral fibre. If not a fighter is a danger to himself and society in general, as is anyone who does not have a personal code of conduct. When we look at the spectacle of the UFC or boxing it is hard to believe that many of these fighters have any personal code. However, most of the bad behavior is part of the show, and most of the fighters we see acting like ill-mannered children are actually behaving that way to sell tickets and pay per view revenue. Most of these fighters are quite different outside of the public eye. The warrior is different than the fighter. The warrior trains not for spectacle and personal glory but to humbly serve others. Police, soldiers and paramilitary are three examples of professional warriors. But there are many “amateur” warriors in this world. The woman or man who would fight to the death to protect those they love is an example of person with a warrior’s mindset, and may be considered an amateur warrior. Martial artists often are a step between the amateur and the professional. They are trained, often paid to teach and often train professionals. Most are willing to put their life on the line

to protect others — it is part of many martial artists’ codes to do so. Most see this as a personal responsibility as a citizen of a civilized culture. It is my belief that every person should know exactly what they are willing to fight for. Remember that any time you step into the theatre of violence you need to be prepared for play to be a tragedy. No matter how trivial the situation is, once violence becomes the next action you have to be prepared for the very worst of consequences, because you are not in control, no matter how skilled you are. This is why you need to know what you are willing to fight over. Name calling or some other silly reason seems to be a pretty lame reason to kill someone or be killed by them, whereas protecting yourself from violence or a loved one may seem like a very good reason to most people. This is why, according to my own personal code, protecting myself and others is the only reason I will ever fight another person. I won’t fight for name calling, or even over property. But I do also have a few principles I am willing to fight over. Because I have a personal code, I know exactly what I am willing to step onto the stage of violence over. Integrity is part of my personal code. I try to live up to my word and to be honest in everything that I do. Even at the grocery store I won’t lie about how many bags I have in the self check out because my integrity is worth more than five cents. No one really ever sees my code, but I know

For the Townsman

When warriors pass skills on to future generations of warriors they need to make sure that they teach them about having a personal code. That way they are adding to a better tomorrow instead of creating a problem for the future. my own behavior and my higher power does as well. For me that is all that matters. As a person who teaches children I also have to have certain standards of behavior I have to follow. I don’t use rough language in front of children, and while you may see me acting like a clown to get my students to laugh, you will never see me act like the clowns you see screaming and having a tantrum in the UFC. I am far from perfect but part of my code is that if I am a responsible coach I must strive to be an example for my younger students that I would be happy for my own child to look up to. A warrior’s code is a way that he or she can temper skills that used wrong will be very negative to others around

them. Without a code a warrior turns into a thug, a bully, or worse. This is why when warriors pass skills on to future generations of warriors they need to make sure that they teach them about having a personal code. That way they are adding to a better tomorrow instead of creating a problem for the future. While passing on fighting skills is very important, passing on the warrior’s code may be the most important thing that a martial arts coach can pass on to the future generations.

Chynoweth: CHL must level import draft playing field Kootenay Ice GM Jeff Chynoweth says wild Western Hockey League polices itself, while OHL, QMJHL ignore backdoor deals TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

When the Kootenay Ice open up WHL training camp in Cranbrook, there will be a serious void as 17-year-old forward Klim Kostin, the first overall selection from the 2016 CHL Import Draft, remains in Russia. Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Ice, was hopeful Kostin was going to report to Cranbrook after being claimed with the top nod at the CHL’s annual international market in June. Instead, the highly-touted and supremely talented playmaker from Penza, Russia, is going to stay home, at least for the time being, as he pursues a roster spot with Moscow Dynamo of Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). According to Chynoweth, Kostin signed a contract with the KHL club after the U18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup in August. While Kostin remains in the motherland for now, Chynoweth didn’t come up empty-handed at the import draft as burly Russian defenceman Nikita Radzivilyuk — selected 61st overall — is expected to be in Cranbrook this weekend ahead of Kootenay Ice training camp. Still, Chynoweth said the Ice have been virtually handcuffed at previous CHL Import Drafts and the longtime Kootenay kingpin believes serious change is needed in order to level the playing field. According to Chynoweth, the biggest problem with the CHL Import Draft is the ever

increasing circumstance in which some teams come to agreements with players and player agents prior to the running of the import draft.

“To me, it looks like the commissioners of the OHL and QMJHL look the other way and are ignoring serious problems when it comes to the import draft. It’s broken.” Jeff Chynoweth “Until the CHL changes the rules of the import draft, nothing is going to change,” Chynoweth said. “I know when my dad was in charge of the CHL, he would recognize and strive to address the issues. Right now, to me, it looks like the commissioners of the OHL and QMJHL look the other way and are ignoring a serious problem when it comes to the import draft. It’s broken. “It’s the haves and the have-nots. It’s not a level playing field. Something has to be done about it.” Chynoweth’s father — the late Ed Chynoweth — was the commissioner of the WHL from 1972 through 1995 and the first president of what is now the CHL, holding that position from 1975 through

1995 after helping form Canada’s major junior banner league. He was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008 for his role as a builder and is widely regarded as one of the most influential men in junior hockey. These days, players and agents hold the bulk, if not all, of the power heading into the CHL Import Draft. If a player has his heart set on playing in a specific market for a specific team, all his agent needs to do is circulate the word that the player he represents will not report or come to North America if any other club expresses interest or claims his rights. What this leads to is informal arrangements in the back rooms of the CHL, where member clubs lay claim to highly-touted and skilled players, ensuring their services without necessarily needing to spend an equally valuable import draft selection to do so. Really, it completely defeats the purpose of even hosting a formal draft when so much is predetermined and out of control for many CHL franchises. One needs look no further than the 2015 CHL Import Draft for recent example. With the 45th overall pick, the OHL’s London Knights selected Finnish defenceman Olli Juolevi. At the time, it was no secret the 6-foot-3, 179pound blueliner was expected to be a top-tier choice at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, which was still a year away. After coming over from Europe, Juolevi’s

Jeff Chynoweth, president and general manager of the Ice, believes the CHL needs to seriously reconsider how to level the playing field of the annual import draft. stock continued to soar. The Vancouver Canucks eventually tabbed the mobile rearguard with the fifth-overall selection at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft this past June. Why 44 teams prior to the OHL’s powerhouse Knights opted to pass on the supremely talented Finn is a baffling mystery, unless of course they all knew the native of Helsinki was only only going to report to London. Chynoweth — and many general managers before him — likely would have loved the opportunity to use a top pick on a player of Juolevi’s ilk. Instead, Chynoweth was left with few options, eventually taking Czech forward Roman Dymacek in the 35th slot — well ahead of Juolevi. Of course, Dymacek never truly found his stride in North

America and was released by the Ice at the conclusion of the 201516 WHL campaign after having very little impact. “The Western Hockey League polices itself against the backdoor deals that go on with the import draft,” Chynoweth said. David Branch has been the president of the CHL since 1996 after the late Chynoweth left the role. He has also been the commissioner of the OHL since 1979. Further east, Gilles Courteau has been the commissioner of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League since 1986. Meanwhile, Ron Robison has served as the WHL commissioner since 2000. So what is the solution? How can the CHL Import Draft be fixed? Chynoweth has his

own answer for that and the first step is to create an opt-in process for players to enter the import draft. “Critics will say an opt-in doesn’t guarantee a player is coming,” Chynoweth said. “Absolutely it doesn’t. But at least you know that Kootenay or London have the same list of players to choose from. “Until we do that, it’s not a level playing field.” As long as the status quo remains, small-market managers like Chynoweth will remain unable to compete with the big-market, big-money powerhouses of the CHL when it comes to the import draft, making life even more challenging than it already is for clubs operating in small towns around the country. It also means elite talents like Kostin will

stay home rather than coming to North America to ply their trade in one of the world’s greatest developers of highend hockey talent, while the CHL as a whole loses out on bringing in entertaining and skilled players for fans to enjoy. “With the bantam draft, when you select first overall, you know you’re getting a good player,” Chynoweth said. “Unfortunately, with the import draft, that’s not the case.” All things considered, it’s a lose-lose situation for the entire Canadian Hockey League and hockey fans in North America. The Kootenay Ice report for fitness testing this Sunday before onice training camp sessions get underway Monday (9 a.m.) at Western Financial Place.

Former Ice captain commits to University of Saskatchewan Defenceman Tanner Lishchynsky returns home to Saskatoon as member of CIS Huskies

TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

Former Kootenay Ice captain Tanner Lishchynsky is set for the next chapter of his hockey career after committing to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies Wednesday morning. Lishchynsky, 21,

served as the Kootenay Ice captain from January through to the end of the 2015-16 WHL campaign. He was the 20th captain in franchise history after taking the reigns from Luke Philp. “There are a lot of great memories with a lot of different people,”

Lishchynsky said of his time with the Ice at the conclusion of his WHL career. “I’m happy to have gotten schooling for every year I’ve played. “With being named captain and having a bigger responsibility, [learning] how to treat players and get them to

be the best that they can be is a life skill I’ve been able to learn. I’m happy for everything I’ve learned this year and I’ll keep moving forward.” On Wednesday, the Huskies announced 10 new recruits ahead of the 2016-17 CIS campaign, including Lish-

chynsky and nine other former WHL players. Joining Lishchynsky are goaltender Daniel Wapple, defenceman Colby Harmsworth and forwards Carson Stadnyk, Alex Forsberg, Wyatt Johnson, Jordan Tkatch, Connor Gay, Elliott Peterson and Colton Ste-

phenson. “The Huskie men’s hockey program has a strong student-athlete tradition,” said Dave Adolph, head coach, in a release. “As competitive as our league is, status quo will not give us a chance to be successful again this year, so we

had to improve.” In addition to the new recruits, Lishchynsky joins former Kootenay Ice speedster Levi Cable, who completed his rookie CIS season with the Huskies in 2015-16.

2016 Cranbrook Bandits Award Winners TAYLOR ROCC A Sports Editor

The Cranbrook Bandits wrapped up the 2016 American Legion Baseball season this past Sunday, celebrating the best and brightest of the summer with team awards. Leading the charge was pitcher Tyler Thorn, who was named Most Valuable Player and Pitcher of the Year. “Tyler was one of our starting pitchers and he did a great job on the bump this year,” said Paul Mrazek, head coach of the Cranbrook Bandits, during awards presentations on Sunday. “His hitting really improved this year. He really came around and started to hit the ball

more consistently and started to hit with more power.” After a successful final year with the Bandits, Thorn became the first player in program history to commit to the University of Calgary Dinos baseball program. The southpaw compiled a record of 4-3 along with three saves, registering a 4.61 earnedrun average (ERA) over more than 45 innings of work. Offensively, he hit for .303 with 28 RBI and 22 stolen bases. Cedar Kemp was named Offensive Player of the Year after hitting for a .371 average with 25 RBI and 34 stolen bases. Longtime Bandit Devon Marra, a three-time winner of the Offensive Play-

er of the Year honours, was on hand to recognize Kemp’s efforts. “Cedar had a great year,” Mrazek said. “It was interesting how he got more confident and started to question some things. “Sometimes it’s a little bit of a struggle and it took a bit for me to convince him, but I think I finally convinced him when he is stealing and sliding into second [base] that the shortest path is right at the bag not over here [away from the bag].” Graduating catcher Kei Chlopan was named Defensive Player of the Year for his work behind the plate, while Greg Rebagliati was dubbed Rookie of the Year.

Over a 173-game WHL career, split between the Ice and Prince George Cougars, Lishchynsky tallied 12 goals and 43 points, achieving career highs in 2015-16 with eight goals and 23 points in 60 games. “He’s in the trenches, he’s physical, he’s competing,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Ice, after naming Lishchynsky captain in January. “He brings that work ethic and that effort.” A native of Saskatoon, Lishchynsky’s ju-

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Communication remains a high priority. You might not be sure what to do in a confusing situation. Trust your inner voice. Be ready to act spontaneously. Start listening to what others have to say, but take news with a grain of salt. Tonight: You have energy, so make plans. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be aware of what is going on with plans and the costs involved. You might want to make a sudden change without giving an explanation. Your creativity soars, especially around a loved one. Clearly, you know what you want. Tonight: The later you are out, the better. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll smile from ear to ear, despite an overly aggressive partner or associate. Touch base with a boss who finds you to be very idealistic. Try to harness the creative energy that exists between you. Follow through on a long-term goal in your personal life. Tonight: As you like it.

Canadian Border Services Agency has seen a 116 per cent increase in the number of firearms seized in the Pacific Region in the first half of 2016. With a 10 per cent increase also recorded in the Prairie region, the CBSA is working with U.S. officials on a firearms awareness campaign to remind Americans about restrictions on bringing guns into Canada. “Attempting to smuggle firearms across the border can result in immediate forfeiture, hefty fines and even significant jail time,” said Kim Scoville, CBSA’s regional director general for the Prairie region. Visitors entering the border inspection line should declare any firearms at their first opportunity. Border services officers will take possession of the weapon if it is declared, but the visitor has the option of shipping it back under CBSA supervision or surrendering it without prosecution.

Lumber exports shifting to U.S. Bl ack Press

Wood products exports from Canada to Asia were down 18 per cent in the first six months of 2016, with the biggest decline being softwood lumber from B.C. to China, according to the Seattle-based Wood Resources International. Lumber sales to China are on pace to drop by 50 per cent this year compared to 2014, as B.C. lumber producers direct their sales to a healthy U.S. lumber market, according to customs data tracked for the Wood Resources Quarterly (www.woodprices. com). The latest edition notes that by value, 75 per cent of B.C.’s exports to Asia in 2015 and 2016 are in the form of lumber, while 77 per cent of exports from Washington and Oregon are logs. Asian demand reached a record high in 2013, with China passing Japan as the largest importer of North American wood products in 2011.

Dear Annie by Annie Lane

leap of faith Dear Annie: Last year, I got out of a 10-year relationship. I thought she was the love of my life -- until she cheated on me with one of my friends. I was devastated, and only recently have I started to be remotely interested in dating again. Lately, I’ve been on a few dates with this girl -- let’s call her “Lauren” -- and she is amazing. She’s so beautiful and talented and kind. Just being around her makes me feel like a better person. I want to take things to the next level, but there’s something holding me back. I’m not sure I can bring myself to trust someone with my emotions ever again. What’s the point of making ourselves so vulnerable when it so often just ends in heartache? This girl has set off no red flags, yet I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. How do people ever move on after such dramatic breakups? -- In My Shell Dear Shell: Risk is what makes trust possible. It’s the gap that lets us take a leap of faith. If there weren’t the possibility of falling, the feeling of landing safely on the other side would mean very little. That’s not to say we should jump into relationships recklessly or walk through life blindfolded. It’s only natural -- healthy, even -- for you to feel cautious after what your ex-girlfriend did. But this new woman has given every indication that she is worthy of your trust. Go for it. Dear Annie: I am 20 years old and have been best friends with this girl since we were 5. She’s practically my sister. She’s engaged to a guy she began dating back in high school. Although he is very nice and genuinely cares for her, he does not seem at all mature enough to be married. After a single semester at a local community college, he left to pursue his dream of becoming a musician. He lives with his grandmother and works at Target. He gets extremely upset if anyone so much as suggests returning to school. A little under two years ago, they broke up for about two months because he had objections whenever she hung out with any males not related to her. Despite his insisting he trusted her, it was clear he didn’t. One night after they had gotten back together, my friend called me sobbing, heartbroken, because he had been jealous and said hurtful things again. I’m worried that my friend is being naive. She has said she would marry him tomorrow if she could, although she plans on waiting till she is out of school. She has asked me to be a bridesmaid. I can tell that she’s trying to make me like the guy better. I know it is not my place to tell my friend what she should do with her life. I do believe that they love each other, and I want her to be happy, which he seems to make her. But I still fear that she’s making a mistake. Is there any way for me to express my concerns without destroying this cherished relationship? -- Looking Out Dear Looking Out: It’s heartbreaking to see friends treated poorly by significant others. All we ever want to do is to jump in, pull them out of the situation and make sure they never go back. If only it were that easy. You’re wise to understand it’s not. As you know, your friend really wants you to like this guy, so the more she senses your disapproval the less she’ll open up to you about the reality of the relationship. The best thing you can do is to continue being there for her, ready to listen whenever she’s ready to talk, willing to give honest input if and when she asks for it. She’s lucky to have you.

Gary James Hogg

January 12, 1958 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August 18, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our youngest son, Gary. Gary was ten days short of fifteen years since his heart transplant. He has had a long, sometimes painful struggle, but has always had a smile on his face as the years passed. He never complained, and although he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much in his life, he always reached out to help others. The heart teams on the eighth floor of Foothills Hospital, Calgary, Alberta, considered him part of their family. Gary passed away peacefully in his sleep at Foothills Hospital after a walk outside in mid-afternoon. Gary attended school in Kimberley, worked a short time for Cominco in Kimberley and Trail. He attended college in Cranbrook and took a welding course. He wrote his exams ten years after his heart transplant and was on the Deans list. While still in college he suffered a heart attack and was placed on a list for a heart replacement and five years later he received his heart in Edmonton, Alberta. His anti-rejection medication for his heart caused cancer in his sinus cavities and the bones of his upper face, which required a fourteen hour surgery in March, 2015. This was very painful for him up until his death. Because of the removal of teeth and bones in his face he survived on special high protein liquids until he passed away. Gary was a true blue Calgary Hitman fan and wore his jersey and jacket to all games, both home and away. When his health permitted, he travelled with his parents to various art shows and befriended many artists and they always looked forward to him coming to the shows. Gary is survived by his loving parents, George and Isabel Hogg, a brother, David (Marcia) and a sister, Janet (Bob) Chesham, Aunt Maureen (Brian) Buckley and many cousins. A Celebration of Life will be held for Gary at a later date at Knox Presbyterian Church, Cranbrook, British Columbia.

Patricia (Pat) Ann Butala

October 02, 1951 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; August 19, 2016

Pat was a loving wife, mother, gramma, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin and friend. She passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on August 19, 2016, in Cranbrook, B.C. Pat was born in Trail B.C. on October 02, 1951 to parents Ron and Phyllis Nickerson. She and her seven siblings grew up in Robson B.C. As a child, Pat was known for her mischievous spirit. In 1971, Pat moved to Golden, B.C. which is where she met her husband Joe and they later would raise their daughter and son. Together they spent many summers camping with family and friends in the Kootenay Valley. Pat and Joe moved to Cranbrook B.C. in 2011. What Pat enjoyed most of all, was spending time with her grandchildren. She spoiled them immensely with love, fun, hugs and copious amounts of candy. Pat is survived by her husband of 42 years, Joe, daughter Kiley (Brent) Bromley, son Curtis (Amanda) Butala, her awesome grandchildren; Sophie, Ella and Cruze, her four legged companion Bo, brothers; Charlie (Lodie) Nickerson, and Robert (Darlene) Nickerson, sisters; Pamella Percival (Bob Baitley), Helen (Rick) Bush, Sherry (Steve) Farnum, Kerri (Ken) Neufeld, and Trudy (Dave) Corney, father-in-law Joe Butala Sr., brother-in-law Frank Butala (Cheryl), and sisters-in-law Helena Fuoco and Pauline (Bob) Tegart, two aunts, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Pat is pre-deceased by her parents Ron and Phyllis Nickerson, her mother-in-law Mary Butala, and her brother-in-law Dennis Percival. Cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service at Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. A private family inurnment will take place at a later date in Golden B.C. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mark Memorial Funeral Services in Cranbrook, B.C.

Secrets of the Mole People: fact or fiction?

1956 a team of archaeologists stumbled across an ancient Sumerian civilization living beneath a mountain glacier along the Turkish-Syrian border. Of course this is the plot of ‘The Mole People’— one of the least inspired and sillier science fiction films of the late ‘50s. Yet the concept of mole people —people or whole societies living in the dark underground — has since become a common staple in numerous movies (‘Beneath the Planet of the Apes’, ‘The Matrix’) and novels (‘The Reliquary,’ ‘The Descent’). Which all may have led to the belief that actual mole people exist, living as large organized societies or tribes in the abandoned subway and sewage tunnels of major cities. While sociologists always hinted at this idea, most people dis-

missed this notion as just another urban legend, on par with alligators in the sewers and that guy with the hook who terrorizes Lover’s Lane. This legend became fact with the publication of Jennifer Toth’s ‘The Mole People: Life in the Tunnels Beneath New York City’ in 1993. British journalist Toth spent more than a year interviewing and living amongst New York’s homeless who had chosen to live underground. While expecting to encounter only a handful, Toth estimated a full 5,000 people dwelling deep below the city’s subway and railway tunnels. Her book documents what one would expect her to find: mental illness, drug addiction, poverty, disease, and death. Yet Toth also found highly organized communities with elect-

BOOKNOTES

Mike Selby ed mayors, a woman who teaches abandoned kids how to read, a nurse who has scheduled rounds, and one community who, by syphoning water from a leaky steam pipe, had set up a laundry and shower facility. Any sense of idealistic living is not to be found. Marauding gangs frequently prey upon the vulnerable, the so-called mayors are violent tyrants, and Toth herself was stalked all the way back to her above-

ground apartment, forcing her to move out of the city entirely. ‘The Mole People’ was a global bestseller, and one of the most recommended books of the year. While her book offered no solutions, and completely ignored the city’s policies towards the homeless, including the resources in place to help them, even her harshest critics forgave these oversights, pointing towards her young age (she was in her 20s), and her lack of critical judgement (she appeared to believe whatever was told to her). Toth’s book made quite an impact. Besides numerous copycat books appearing (‘The Tunnel’, ‘Tunnel People,’ ‘Hidden Cities,’ etc.) and documentary films (‘Dark Days’ and ‘Voices in the Tunnel’), political initiatives were introduced to provide immediate help as well as

Reflections on the Poor in Spirit Anastasia Bartle t t

very Sunday we drive from Creston to Cranbrook to attend church, a drive taking anywhere from one hour to an hour and a half depending on the traffic and who’s driving. It can be a time of contemplation or one of evaluating the driving abilities of those around me. I’m ashamed to admit I do more of the latter. But come on, really... there’s the prairie driver who cautiously manoeuvres through the twists and turns of mountain curves but then hits the accelerator as soon as a straight stretch opens up. Then there’s the group of motorcyclists driving 80 km/hr; I’m glad you appreciate the scenery but some of us want to get home before dinner. (At least they stayed at 80 in the passing lane.) And don’t get me started on all the RVs and trailers. Driving in summer Sunday afternoon traffic makes me realize just how far I have to go to reach to the Kingdom of Heaven. “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” is something I sing every Sunday. I am not entirely sure what poor in spirit means but I know I’m not there yet. I used to ponder the phrase ‘poor in spirit’. Does it mean to be shy, or to have little or no self-esteem? What exactly does ‘spirit’ mean? So I googled spirit, and after discounting ‘poor in spirit’ as being deficit in alcoholic beverages or ghostly presences, I was left with ‘spirit’ as being more of an attitude or mood, the kind of

spirit we see being expressed in the Olympics; the spirit or will to compete and to win, the spirit of achievement. The kind of spirit we tried to pump up at school spirit rallies in order to cheer our team to victory. But isn’t this a good thing, why are we supposed to be ‘poor in spirit?’ Unfortunately, this type of spirit does not include God, instead it encourages a sense of human superiority of achievement without God. Even beyond this is the renegade, the maverick, the spirited individual who chooses to live their life above the crowd and apart from community. This describes many of our heroes who are also arrogant, prideful and have a belief in their own superior judgement of right and wrong. That’s who I wanted to be. I always thought I was different. Books and TV shows taught me being different meant I was special and above the crowd, I was better than others. Over the years, I’ve realized everyone is different. It’s only within a loving community can differences be recognized, nurtured and shaped. Unbridled individualism and a life lived apart from God can result in stupid choices and broken relationships. I remember some of the books I read as a pre-teen about high-spirited wild horses being tamed by trainers who had to break their spirit. In this case, spirit was used as equivalent to will. Our schools, our prisons and our spy agencies all have tech-

niques to control the strongwilled, to break someone so they become compliant. So like the horse trainer, does God want to break my spirit? No, no, a thousand times no. This type of spirit refers to human nature apart from God. God wants me to be fully human within Him. He lets me experience the consequences of my arrogance, pride and judgemental individualism until I am alienated from everyone who cares. In other words, I need to break myself before I realize who I am is shaped by my relationships with others around me and by my relationship with God. The second part of the first beatitude is ‘for theirs is the kingdom of heaven’. This means the poor in spirit will experience the kingdom of heaven right here and now. The ‘poor in spirit’ recognize everything comes from God. They are free of the arrogance, pride and the passions of this fallen world. They know they are dependent upon community to be complete persons. I believe Christ intended this statement to be the introduction to the rest of the beatitudes. Everything afterwards leads to this goal. ‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.’ Anastasia Bartlett attends St. Aidan’s Orthodox Church in Cranbrook.. Pastor of St. Aidan’s, Father Andrew Applegate, can be reached at 250-420-1582

long-term solutions for the homeless. And then one of those annoying and pesky things that occasionally happen took place. Someone went fact-checking. This task fell to Joseph Brennan — a systems administrator at Columbia University and an absolute expert on New York subway tunnels. At first Brennan had avoided reading ‘The Mole People,’ knowing first hand the homeless are “the saddest and most maddening fact of contemporary life in New York.” He desperately wanted to avoid “mixing human misery with my hobby.” Yet his friends and colleagues kept hounding him to read it, so he finally did. His conclusion was startling: “Every fact that I can verify independently is wrong.” Brennan began to make notes at first, simply correcting factual errors about tunnels that he would send to

Toth and her publishers to correct in future editions. But the errors became just too numerous and bizarre. Just one example is that of Grand Central Station, which Toth describes in a mixture of Dickens and Tolkien: “It goes down six levels beneath the subway tracks. There is no complete blueprint … many tunnels were begun but abandoned. Some were built but forgotten. Some were sealed off.” Brennan states that every sentence in that description is nonsense. None of it was built it in a series of false starts but all at one time. Yes, there are complete blueprints. Nothing is sealed off, and — far from being abandoned — all levels are currently in use. Brennan had trouble finding one description which matched reality; he was hard pressed to find anything close to steam pipe which would provide laundry and hot showers. As for organized societies or may-

ors, Brennan stated “There are no leaders down there.” With all this being wrong, Brennan really began to question the rest of the book, including descriptions of human cannibalism, people with webbed feet, and birdlike people. Brennan’s findings sent other journalists trying to pin down Toth for comment. Toth said all her findings could be corroborated by a woman named Cindy Fletcher, who had lived in the tunnels in the early ‘90s. Fletcher was contacted, but refused to confirm any of Toth’s findings. So is any of Toth’s book real. Who knows? As one journalist perfectly said, ”parts of Toth’s book are true, parts of it aren’t, and you take your chances deciding which are which.” Mike Selby is Reference Librarian at the Cranbrook Public Library
