Tales from the Traffic The ‘Sailbot’at sea S g t. C h r i s N e w e l Kimberley RCMP

Robotic windcraft’s trans-Atlantic crossing is interrupted; Rudderless ‘Ada’ is adrift

Everybody has a traffic story to tell. Kimberley RCMP routinely conduct traffic enforcement and respond to traffic complaints. Here are a few of their stories. 187 km/h on an N license On August 31, an officer was conducting speed enforcement on highway 93/95 near Wasa when he noted a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. He activated the radar and obtained a speed of 187 in a 100 zone. The driver was charged with Excessive Speed and Failing to Display “N” the vehicle was also impounded for seven days. The Superintendent of Motor Vehicles may also impose a further driving prohibition given he is a New Driver.

A solo attempt of the Atlantic Ocean has been cut short for a robotic sailboat after the vessel experienced rudder problems. The 5.5-metre boat — called a ‘sailbot’ due to it’s unmanned design and capabilities — was designed with the help of a Cranbrook student at the University of British Columbia. Building the sailbot was part of a challenge to design a vessel that could traverse the ocean autonomously without any direction from a human operator. Unfortunately, after launching from Newfoundland last week, the vessel — christened Ada by the sailbot team — experienced a rud-

Neil Dobie, who grew up in Cranbrook and recently graduated with his mechanical engineering degree from UBC, has been involved with the sailbot project since the beginning.

“It drifted aimlessly till last night [Tuesday night] but it’s in some pretty bad weather right now,” said Dobie, “so we think it’s just not facing the right way to get a good connection. “…The rudder failed so we think it might be the gearbox, the servo motor could have stripped, the push rod that moves the teller could’ve bent or got

dislodged, but it hasn’t been able to steer itself for many days now.” The trans-Atlantic attempt was under the banner of the Microtransat Challenge, as no fully autonomous vessel has ever made a crossing of the ocean, despite attempts from European groups and the U.S. Navy.

Earth Works

Idlewild Lake work moves on to next steps Sub mit ted

Rehabilitation construction work continues on the Idlewild Dam and on the lake itself. Barrie Mackay Contracting Ltd. began construction work on the bypass pipe and sediment control pond on August 5, both of which are now complete. This portion of the process also included the turtle and fish relocation programs. Construction work has now moved to the existing dam and spillway to begin prepara-

tion for rehabilitation of the structure. With the construction location change, there will likely be additional restrictions in park access. Park visitors and users are reminded to please stay away from the construction area and obey all barricades and signage. Water levels in both the reservoir and downstream will continue to change with the construction work, so residents and pets should stay away from the water’s edge.

Get ready for the rumble Kimberley is about to feel the rumble of 200 motorcycles but we shouldn’t panic. The City is not about to be invaded by some Mad Max gang of outlaws. The Southern California Motorcycle Association (SCMA) has selected Kimberley for the culmination of this year’s Three Flags Classic ride. Now in its 41st year the ride was originally organised through a partnership of the SCMA and the British Columbia Road Riders. As the name of the ride suggests the route traditionally stretches from Mexico through the United States and into Canada and has become the premier motorcycle tour of the year. For 2016 the tour starts in Tombstone Arizona and covers 3,047 kms.

The last time the Three Flags ended in Kimberley was in 1990 and the celebration banquet was held in the old Day Lodge. This year’s festivities will be hosted by the Kimberley Conference Centre and there is barely a hotel room left vacant for the two nights after the Labour Day weekend. The ride’s underlying spirit is that all riders are goodwill ambassadors from their respective countries and that by riding in this tour they are doing their part to promote long distance motorcycling and greater public acceptance and understanding. Kimberley residents are encouraged to show these visitors a warm welcome and encourage them to visit us again.

Bringing the mythical world of the ‘80s to life Barry Coulter

Wild Drama is wasting no time, getting set to bring the mythical world of the 1980s to the stage of the Key City Theatre. The dramatic season at Mount Baker Secondary School kicks off immediately — with auditions for the fall production of “Rock Of Ages (High School edition)” taking place Tuesday, Sept. 6. Although school is only in session for a couple of hours in the morning, students are invited back at 3:30 for an exciting “triple threat” audition process. Wild Drama is mounting a socalled juke box musical, “Rock of Ages,” built around classic rock songs from the 1980s, featuring songs from the likes of Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Europe (the Def Leppard song “Rock of Ages” is not included). Drama instructor Mary Hamilton — director of previous productions like “Urinetown” and last year’s “The Optimist” and “Mary Poppins” — says such a juke box musical is not normally her “kind of thing,” but noticed while she was perusing the script how quickly the music got into her head. This is the ‘80s, we’re talking about after all — or singing about, rather. The hit show, which is fresh off Broadway and the West End and now making the regional rounds, is set in Los Angeles, mainly in the “Bourbon Bar,” one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, populated with arrogant rock stars and their hangers-on, kids full of dreams, and a hard-rocking ensemble. But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when developers set out to turn the fabled Strip into just another strip mall. Can the locals save the Bourbon Bar? The answer is in the music. “The emphasis is on fun,” Hamil-

ton said, “and the crowd is going to love it.” And all students are invited to come out at 3:30 to the drama department Tuesday afternoon. The show is very funny, Hamilton said, and perfectly suited to those who enjoy a crowd, who can work a crowd. But there are places for anyone in this lively ensemble cast. Hamilton says the idea of being in a musical shouldn’t scare anyone off. “A lot of people think they can’t sing,” she said, “until they get on stage and find they can sing. Especially if they are right for the part.” Hamilton added that musical theatre is still Theatre. “The singing is important, but so is the acting. They both drive the story.” Don’t forget the choreography, led by Anna Ruoss, who served as Dance Captain in last spring’s “Mary Poppins.” “The choreography will be fun and upbeat,” Ruoss said. “We’re striving to be period correct. I pulled in some old moves off of YouTube.” The rock band, which will be placed right on stage, will be led by MBSS music director Evan Bueckert and Parkland Middle School’s Kaley Wasylowich. Hamilton explained the audition process. Auditions will split into groups of four. Anna Ruoss will teach them a quick stretch of choreography. Bueckert and Wasylowich will give them a short piece of music to sing, and Hamilton a piece of text to act. Everyone will then audition these trio of pieces. Hamilton said the roles will be posted the following Friday. She added that there are plenty of backstage opportunities available as well. For more information, people can check for updates on the Wild Theatre Facebook page.

The drawdown complete, Idlewild Lake has begun to yield up its secret treasures.

Residents who noticed large plumes of smoke in the area on Wednesday and Thursday — fear not, the provincial government conducted controlled burns out near Wasa and Baynes Lake. BC Wildfire Service firefighters conducted a 500-hectare burn on the south face of Raymond Creek and Donald Creek drainage areas on Wednesday, and tackled a 170-hectare area at the Estella Mine site and Wolf Creek area on Thursday. The high-elevation burns were designed to reduce forest encroachment, enhance wildlife corridors, rejuvenate the shrub and grass layers, reduce fuel loads and achieve visual quality objectives.

the U.S. Naval Academy. Now, with Ada so far away from the coast, Dobie isn’t sure how the recovery will go — if there even is one, as the weather is starting to turn riskier due to hurricane season. “We’re looking into recovery right now,” Dobie said, “hoping that it’s near a vessel and that someone is kind enough to pick it up. We’re looking at other options too, of hiring people to go out and get it. Even if they were able to recover it, the window to cross the Atlantic is already closed, Dobie added. “Right now there’s a pretty strong storm in the north Atlantic,” Dobie said. “Yesterday, the boat was still pinging back, it was in 30 knot winds, with gusts up to 50 knots and we looked on the NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - U.S.] buoy system and it’s encountering six-foot waves, so not the best time for recovery right now. “So we have to wait until that storm quiets

down a bit and then hopefully someone will be around to pick it up.” Once the boat is out of the water, then it will get shipped back to Vancouver — a process that could take anywhere from a month to a year. It’s a tough way to end the journey with the sailbot program, but Dobie will still be involved, even though he’s already graduated from university, as he is employed by one of the project’s sponsors, and will be able to mentor incoming students who wish to get involved. “They’re looking at tweaking the designs of the specifically the rudder, obviously, how to improve redundancy on this and make sure it doesn’t fail again,” Dobie said. Despite the unfortunate setback, Dobie says the team is proud of the effort from Ada, which set multiple records and had sailed further east than any other robotic sailboat than any other vessel that has made an attempt to cross the Atlantic.

assault, erratic driving incident Continued from page 1 Continued from page 1

In the early hours of Sunday, August 29, the Cranbrook RCMP were called to downtown Cranbrook following a complaint of a vehicle being operated in an erratic manner — having struck a light post and a parking barrier. Police found and stopped the vehicle, and subsequently found that that the injured female driver was the victim of an assault minutes earlier in same general area. The woman was taken to the East Koote-

nay Regional Hospital in Cranbrook with serious, non-life threatening injuries. Initially, four people were taken into custody — all have since been released without charge. But through further investigation, and with assistance from the public, police were able to identify the person believed to be responsible for the assault. A charge of Assault Causing Bodily Harm was laid and an arrest warrant was issued for a

27-year-old woman, a resident of the Cranbrook area. On August 31, the suspect was taken into custody without incident and was appearing in Cranbrook Court on September 1. The victim of the assault has since been released from hospital and is recovering from her injuries. Anyone with further information about this investigation is urged to contact the Cranbrook RCMP (250-489-3471) or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Back to school for Students; RCMP urge motorists to show caution RCMP

It’s that time of year again when parents are sending their kids back to school. The RCMP is reminding everyone to be vigilant as youth will be out in full force. As a motorist, slow down and watch for children. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re in a school zone, as kids have to walk from their neighbourhood to get to school so there are going to be children out even if a school isn’t nearby. “It’s crucial that drivers slow down in school zones, watch for crosswalks, and be mindful of children. Be alert and watch for kids riding to school on their bikes. We all want our children to arrive at school and home safely.” School buses will also be ferrying youth to and from schools. The RCMP would like to educate drivers to the fact that vehicles must stop in both directions when a school bus has its lights on and stop sign out. “You are not allowed to pass a school bus just because you are on the opposite side of the road. All vehicles, in both directions, have to stop to allow kids on and off the buses.” Tips for drivers: Where school is in session, a 30-km/h school zone speed limit is in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every school day, unless otherwise posted. Plan ahead and be alert. Driving routes with less traffic in the summer may now face congestion, so give yourself extra time to get to your destination. Take your time and don’t rush - especially through intersections. Look

for children especially near or around crosswalks and intersections close to schools. When dropping off children in a school zone stop and allow them to exit onto the sidewalk side of the car. Never allow a child to cross midblock. Also refrain from stopping on the crosswalk in order to let your kids out of the vehicle. If a vehicle is stopped in front of you or in the lane next to you, they may be yielding for a pedestrian, so be prepared to stop. Always watch for pedestrians when you’re backing up. Before you get into your vehicle, make it a habit to walk around your vehicle to ensure no small kids are behind it. And remember, children will notice your driving behaviour as well as your pedestrian behaviour, so please set a good example for them. Tickets and fines under the BC Motor Vehicle Act include but are not limited to: • Speed in school / playground zone - $196 to $253 • Fail to stop for school bus - $167 • Fail to yield to pedestrian - $167 • Pass vehicle yielding to pedestrian - $167 • Disobey school guard/ patrol $167 Students are also reminded to take caution when crossing the street, by looking both ways and using the crosswalk with crossing guards. The RCMP will be out patrolling the school zones in an effort to remind drivers to be alert to all pedestrian traffic.

RDEK voices concerns over Highway 93/95 Nikki Fredrikson Invermere Valley Echo

Communities across the province of British Columbia are preparing for the Union of BC Municipalities Convention in Victoria at which the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) will bring their concerns of the condition of Highway 93/95 to the B.C. Ministry of transporta-

tion and infrastructure. Municipalities across the province of British Columbia are preparing for the Union of BC Municipalities Convention in Victoria B.C. For the convention, municipalities have the opportunity to request 15-minute meetings with different ministers to discuss issues and projects in their areas. RDEK repre-

sentatives will meet with the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone. “In this case, the concern myself and some of the other Columbia Valley directors have are the condition of some of the highway the asphalt for Highway 93/95,” said Columbia Valley Services Committee chair Gerry Taft.

The identified areas of concern are the Athalmer entrance by the crossroads, in front of Copper Point Golf Course and the Radium hill. The purpose of the meeting is to talk to the minister and find out if there is a timeline for the highway and what that timeline is. “There’s just some areas- it just looks like

it’s been a long time since it’s been paved. I think we all kind of know north of here toward Golden or south of here toward Cranbrook there’s been a lot of other paving going on and it just seems like this little section hasn’t be done,” said Taft. The RDEK focus with Highway 93/95 is the condition of the road it-

self and the asphalt needing repaving. From there, they will look at the potential for more passing and turning lanes. In Radium the road condition led to lane closure earlier this year adding to the concern. “The asphalts in pretty rough shape and (Radium mayor Clara Reinhardt) also brought up the fact that there was some slopes that seem to (have) caused one of the lanes to be closed earlier in the year -looks like there’re some erosion issues,” said Taft.

The meeting with Minister Todd Stone will be exactly 15 minutes. In that time Taft, Area F director Wendy Booth, potentially Clara Reinhardt and an administrator from RDEK will discuss their concerns. Along with Highway 93/95, the RDEK will also discuss the road condition of Westside Road, but the focus of the meeting will remain on the highway. RDEK and municipality councils from the Columbia Valley will travel to Victoria September 26th to 30th for the convention.

Welcome to the Anthropocene

eology moves very slowly, and so do geologists. The Working Group on the Anthropocene was set up in 2009, but only presented its recommendation to the International Geological Congress in Cape Town last Monday. The Working Group’s experts have concluded that we are now living in a new geological epoch: the Anthropocene. That is, the epoch when human beings are reshaping the Earth. Epochs (e.g. the Triassic, the Jurassic, or the Cretaceous) are usually big chunks of time: tens of millions of years. The Anthropocene, by contrast, is only about sixty-five years old, which is why many geologists are reluctant to accept it as a whole new epoch in the Earth’s history. But they probably will, in the end, because the evidence is already there in the rocks. The radical idea of defining an entire epoch by the impact of human civilisation on the planet was advanced for the first time in 2000, by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Paul Crutzen. Modern human beings have been around for 200,000 years, he pointed out, but only in 1950 did our numbers and and the products of our science and industry grow so great that we became a dominant factor in the planet’s evolution. Now we make the weather (by causing global warming with our greenhouse gas emissions). We are even melting the ice and raising the sea level. We and our domesticated animals account for more than 90 percent of the total weight of all large land-dwelling animals (bigger than a chicken) on Earth. Our crops have pushed wild plants off most of the fertile land on the planet.

And if there are any geologists around a hundred million years from now, they will be able to detect our existence just by examining the rocks. The acid test for defining a geological epoch is: are there clear differences in the make-up of the rocks? With us, it’s easy. In the 1950s, radioactive elements (radionuclides) from hundreds of open-air nuclear bomb tests appear in the sediments all around the world. Even more ubiquitous are the tiny fragments of Gwynne plastic, the particles of alum, however,inum and Dyer concrete, and the tiny balls of unburnt carbon that pour out of our power stations, all embedded in the muds that will one day be rocks. The human race may or may not survive, but we have already left indelible evidence of our existence in the rocks. The real goal of those who want to declare a new Anthropocene epoch, however, is not just to tidy up the geological record. They want to highlight the fact that, for better or worse, we are now in charge of the entire planet. Paul Crutzen didn’t just propose a new epoch called the Anthropocene. In 2006, he was also the first scientist to go public and say that we may have to resort to “geo-engineering.” We are disabling the Earth’s natural mechanisms for maintaining a stable environment, he said, and in order to survive we may have to take responsibility for maintaining all the global cycles and balances ourselves. That is not a good thing. In fact, it is a terrifying thing, because the Earth system is immensely complex and there are large parts of it that we do not even understand yet. It was another scientist, Jim Lovelock,

who first pointed out what a huge and ultimately crushing burden we will have to shoulder. Lovelock’s great insight, as important as Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution in the 19th century, was that the Earth’s living things, its atmosphere, its seas and its rocks are all part of a single interacting system. He boldly called it Gaia, but more timid scientists call it Earth system science. And in the very act of recognising it, he realised that it was breaking down. Writing in 1979, he warned that if we disable Gaia’s natural functions, then one day we will wake up to find that we have inherited “the permanent lifelong job of planetary maintenance engineer. Gaia would have retreated into the muds, and the ceaseless intricate task of keeping all the global cycles in balance would be ours. “Then at last we would be riding that strange contraption, ‘the spaceship Earth’, and whatever tamed and domesticated biosphere remained would indeed be our ‘life support system’. “We can guess that at less than (ten billion people) we should still be in a Gaian world. But somewhere beyond this figure... lies the final choice of permanent enslavement on the prison hulk of the spaceship Earth, or gigadeath to enable the survivors to restore a Gaian world.” So far we are only seven and a half billion people, but that’s no consolation. The world’s per capita energy consumption is so much higher than Lovelock foresaw in 1979 that we may be on the brink of that final desperate “choice” already. (And UN figures predict that we will be at ten billion by 2050 in any case). Welcome to the Anthropocene. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist based in London

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Time for support is now

My name is James LeClair and for the last 18 years my wife and I have steadfastly and with pride supported the Kootenay Ice. 18 years ago hockey fans in the Kootenays and in our community of Cranbrook showed their enthusiasm and spirit to do what was required to bring the Ice to town, and all that was required was to show our support. Now through lack of support our teams future to stay in Cranbrook is in Question. We can’t stop supporting this team because of perceived feelings and attitudes towards present ownership and management. If you love this game and our team the Kootenay Ice, finding excuses not to come out and support the team hurts our community as a whole and enhances the chances of the team leaving Cranbrook. I am willing to put credit where credit belongs, our present owner and general manager Mr. Jeff Chynoweth and his management team are now and always have been responsible for bringing in each and every fine young hockey player that have been committed to providing our community with an outstanding identity in the junior hockey world and a reputation for a stellar tradition of winning hockey. My wife and I can’t put a dollar value on all years of pleasure and excitement these fine young players have provided for us over the years. As I have stated before there are many other fans that feel as we do, in my opinion they are the best fans in the league, but we all find it hard for to watch our players play in front of a half empty rink every night. This has really always

been about us as fans and having the responsibility for showing strong support for what i think is an important part of our community. The Kootenay Ice has become part of Cranbrook and Cranbrook has become part of the Kootenay Ice, the two do belong together. I believe the league and the city are working together on finding ways to keep the Ice here. But only strong support from us the fans and better corporate support can make the difference now. As it was 18 years ago it is still the same today the players of our team need an deserve our strong support. Consider it this way: (No fan support) = (no money to run the team) = (no Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook) James LeClair Cranbrook

Who was Jesus? An Emerging Portrait Rev. Yme

Woensdregt

ast week, I wrote that it matters what kind of image we have of God. How we see God determines much of how we live out the faith we claim. I think this is true regardless of which faith you follow, or even if you follow no faith. Even if you have no faith, you will still think about “ultimate reality” which is what Christians call “God”. Our vision of the divine, of ultimate reality, determines how we live. For Christians, the same thing is true about the image we have of Jesus. Some people think of Jesus as a benign figure, sweet and gentle, meek and mild, who pats children on the head. In 1742, Charles Wesley (one of the founders of Methodism) wrote a children’s hymn which began, “Gentle Jesus, meek and mild, Look upon a little child; Pity my simplicity, Suffer me to come to Thee.” Many people have not moved beyond that image. Others see Jesus as a social critic, or even as a violent revolutionary. They believe Jesus came to upset the apple cart. Followers of Jesus, therefore, are called to the same kind of ministry of challenging the status quo. Then there are others who find it difficult to think of Jesus as human at all. I am reminded of Martin Luther’s Christmas carol, “Away in a manger” in which the second verse sings “The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.” I’ve never yet met a newborn who doesn’t cry! For these people, Jesus was God on earth, a divine being only thinly disguised as a human being. He was all–seeing, all– knowing, and all–powerful; he was flawless, sinless, and sexless. He could perform miracles and read people’s minds. He was Superman without having to en-

dure the bother of being Clark Kent. The problem with that particular image of Jesus is that he becomes someone we can adore and worship, but we could never imitate him. We can believe in him, but following him is beyond our capacity because we are, after all, human, not divine. At the other end of that particular spectrum is the view that Jesus was just a good man, a wise philosopher, or an outstanding moral educator. He has been described as a religious genius or an expert psychologist. Those pictures focused on his humanity, but they deny the incredible spiritual nature he embodied.

The Christ Pantocrator mosaic in the Hagia Sophia So who was Jesus? The traditional picture many have of Jesus probably comes from the creeds. Many Christians around the world recite either the Apostles’ Creed or the Nicene Creed regularly in their worship. Both of these creeds were developed about some 300 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Nicene Creed was written at the Council of Nicea in 325. It was part of an attempt by the emperor Constantine to bring unity to a fractured church. It is less clear when the Apostles’ Creed was written. Originally developed in the second

century, the earliest historical evidence for this creed is found in a letter from the RUN in TIL390.

He was sent into the world to die on a cross as a means of reconciliation between God and humankind. “Jesus died for your sins” is his purpose in a nutshell. If you are familiar with these two Creeds, you will notice that neither of them says anything at all about Jesus’ earthly life other than that he was born and that he died. The last 200 years have seen a growing interest in who Jesus was, how he lived, and the context in which he lived. Scholars have engaged in a “Quest for the Historical Jesus”. It was an attempt to uncover an historical portrait of Jesus, which sought to differentiate between what is called “the Jesus of history” and “the Christ of faith”. This quest involves a new set of answers to three primary questions: Who was Jesus? What did he hope to accomplish? What did he proclaim? Those engaged in this quest attempt to rediscover the life and teachings of Jesus in a fresh way, seeking to understand how Jesus confronted the social issues, politics, economics and religion of his day. In the next couple of weeks, I’ll sketch out the portrait of Jesus that is emerging from scholars who have undertaken this task. It will give us more insight into the human figure who stands behind a tradition that has lasted now for some 2,000 years. Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook

Plenty of promise as Ice training camp wraps up Strong showing from 2000, 2001 draft classes has Kootenay Ice management & coaches excited for future

Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Another year, another training camp in the books for the Kootenay Ice. After a disappointing 2015-16 campaign, it’s safe to say there is plenty of promise and hope for the future of Cranbrook’s Western Hockey League club following an impressive showing from those competing for jobs this week at Western Financial Place. “It’s hard not to be excited — not just about this year and a chance to go and redeem ourselves a little bit — but also just the future in general for our hockey club,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Ice, following the organization’s annual intrasquad game Wednesday night. “I was extremely impressed with the improvements that some of our 2000s have made and obviously our draft class, the ‘01s, look great. Some of the additions in that ‘99 group have been impressive as well. “Overall, all week,

you just get excited about what the future holds for us.” Pierce’s excitement can be, at the very least, partially credit to the work of Garnet Kazuik, director of scouting, and the rest of his scouting staff. With 2015-16 marking the first step in what is expected to a long rebuild, there was plenty of fresh competitiveness, scrappy play and overall compete easily visible throughout training camp, all of which are encouraging signs as this club continues to build itself back up. “We’ve got something started here and built with the young age groups. It’s encouraging to see,” Kazuik said Wednesday night. “The players can see it, the parents can see it. When these guys start to mature a little bit, the future should start to turn back to the way we know it here in Cranbrook.” Three days of scrimmages, skill sessions and goaltender sessions are in the books and

next on the calendar is pre-season action, which begins Thursday, Sept. 8, when the Ice travel to Kennewick, Wash., for a mini tournament hosted by the Tri-City Americans. There will be a strong contingent of players headed south of the border for the three-game tournament. For some of the 2001-born players, they will get a taste of the WHL game in an effort to develop a better understanding of just how big the jump will be when they become eligible to play on a full-time basis come 2017-18. For the rest of the crew, there are very real opportunities to earn full-time roles on the roster. After a 12-win season in 2015-16, coaches, management and staff have reiterated the fact that no job is safe. “We’re looking for some guys to steal some spots,” Kazuik said. “The veterans have been told. We had a 12-win season last year. Nobody is safe. We want some of these

guys compete fairly hard through exhibition.” While 61 players, including 17 veterans, arrived in camp on Sunday, Kazuik estimates 32 will advance to the pre-season roster. As of Wednesday evening, the Ice had yet to release its roster for the start of the 2016 exhibition season. Where exactly are there jobs available? Well, pretty much across the board. Payton Lee is a virtual lock to hold down the starting goaltender’s job in his 20-year-old campaign and Cale Fleury stands to be the stud defenceman on the blue line. Up front, Zak Zborosky and Matt Alfaro will lead the group as the other 20-year-olds on the roster. Beyond that, roster slots and minute distribution is available for the taking. “It’s hard sometimes to truly evaluate [returners] in training camp,” Pierce said. “I gave them a talk beforehand that they needed to start right now. But they’re Western Hockey League players and, sometimes for them, it takes playing a real opponent and real games to bring out what they should be doing. “Overall, I think they’re in better shape than they were last year at the start of camp. There is some urgency from some guys. Some,

there’s no question, need to be better and they’ll be given the opportunity to prove that over the next few weeks. But there’s definitely going to be competition. “Last year, you were almost forced into some roster decisions just based on numbers alone. This year, we’re going to have options and choices, which is always great as a team. It will increase competition amongst our players, which is always a real positive thing as well.” Kazuik highlighted forwards Benjamin Sanderson (2000) and Austin Wong (2000) along with defenceman Bobby Russell (2000) as a trio of particularly impressive players out of the 2015 bantam draft class. That draft class is eligible for full-time WHL duty for the first time this season and those three certainly left a lasting impression with Kazuik. Standing 6-feet tall and weighing in at 171 pounds, Sanderson (2015 — sixth round, 122nd overall) brings the same sort of speed and skill that made his father — Geoff Sanderson — such an effective NHL player for over 1,100 regular season games. Wong (2015 — 11th round, 232nd) locks in at 5-foot-9 and 177 pounds.

The younger brother of Lethbridge Hurricanes star Tyler Wong brings that same fierce compete factor and despite his relative slight size, he pounded bodies and hit everything that moved all week long, plus drove the net hard to cash in on a number of opportunities. Russell (2015 — sixth round, 123rd) displayed mobility and calm, collected decision-making from the backend. At 5-foot-11 and 164 pounds, there’s certainly room to grow, but the cool presence at such a young age is something for fans to be excited about. While Kazuik highlighted some 2000s with a shot at cracking the big club, Pierce was keen on a number of 2001s. While first overall pick Peyton Krebs and second rounder Jesse Makaj were obvious standouts, there were a number of others that had the 33-year-old bench boss eagerly anticipating their arrival in 2017-18. Amongst those, Pierce highlighted forward Brett Wieschorster (2016 — fifth round, 89th) who brought a great combination of skill and grit, standing 6-foot-1 and tipping the scales at 180 pounds.

Farewell: This isn’t goodbye; simply so long for now

here’s something about a farewell that is monumentally more difficult than simply saying, “Hello.” For now, this is exactly that — so long, sayonara, see you later. What I can also say is that it is not goodbye. After a little over two years in the East Kootenay, the time has come for me to say “arrivederci” and it’s a truly bittersweet feeling. In the 10 years since I left home upon graduating high school in Calgary, I’ve lived in a great many number of places — Edmonton, Kamloops, White Rock, Toronto and little Kindersley, Sask. — and I’ve done a great number of things over that span. I even spent the better part of a summer living in Cold Lake, Alta. Though work and school life has taken me to the ever-soothing waters of the Pacific Ocean and the always-stunning awesomeness of Niagara Falls, the beauty of the East Kootenay is the only place I’ve ever felt truly at home since leaving the first and only home I’d ever known. A couple weeks ago after giving my notice, I went for a walk around Kimberley and couldn’t help but think how much I’m going to miss living and working in such a gorgeous part of our country. I gazed up at the bare runs of Kimberley Alpine Resort where, for the first time in my life, I learned how to ride a snowboard, survive said ride and eventually grew to

love the thrill of a bluebird day with nothing but fresh powder to carve. I walked along Mark Creek and soaked up the calming choir of the babbling brook that runs right past my backdoor. I couldn’t help but grin as many smiles, nods and greetings passed me along the path.

Taylor Rocca As many know, I chose to live in Kimberley while working in Cranbrook and given the opportunity to do it all over, I’d do it in exactly the same fashion. Reflecting back, I’ve come to realize that going about my time in this way afforded me a great opportunity to get to know both communities in equally fantastic fashion. Over the course of this week, I’ve spent the bulk of it entrenched in the press box at Western Financial Place, taking in my third Kootenay ICE training camp. As I walk the concourse, I’m once again met with smiles and warm conversation. Between the kind-hearted people of both towns, the beautiful mountain backdrop and the endless possibilities surrounding these communities, my heart aches to leave it all behind. Life has a strange way of dictat-

ing our path and for me at this moment, that means going back to the first place I called home. While I depart, it is without hesitation I tell you the East Kootenay has become my second home. That is a fact I have absolutely no doubt in. The experiences I’ve had while manning the sports desk for the Townsman/Bulletin have been nothing short of exhilarating. From my first week covering the Kootenay ICE and wondering if I would survive, to the championship run of the Kimberley Dynamiters, each and every moment has been special. I’ll forever remember my first WHL post-game interview with Jaedon Descheneau — a conversation in which I was perhaps a bit too bold and a bit too brash, leaving him less than impressed with me. Wyatt Hoflin’s outstanding 51save shutout performance late in the 2015-16 season will remain etched in my mind as one of the gutsiest performances by any goaltender. Being on hand for the jubilation of Kimberley’s first junior hockey championship since 1980 was a privilege and restored my faith in the belief that a town does indeed still rally behind its local sports heroes. Witnessing the heartbreak of defeat in 2015 at the Cyclone Taylor Cup in Mission, B.C., and in 2016 at the KIJHL championship in 100 Mile House, and seeing the community’s response furthered that faith.

I could go on and on about memorable moments and quality individuals, but I won’t bore you with a list that would likely end up with hundreds of bullet points. I do have to have extend my deepest gratitude to Barry Coulter, Karen Johnston and all the staff, past and present, at both the Cranbrook Townsman and Kimberley Bulletin. They took a cold call from an unknown kid lost in the prairies of West Central Saskatchewan and they gave him a chance. I’ll forever be grateful for the opportunity afforded me and the chance to cover the Western Hockey League for the first time. A sincere thank you goes out to the Kootenay ICE Hockey Club and the Kimberley Dynamiters Hockey Club. I have the utmost respect for both organizations and all those involved, past and present, in the day-to-day operations. I’d list everyone with both clubs, but the list is far too long. There are good people, from top to bottom with both clubs, and I thank each and everyone of them for welcoming me into their respective rinks, dressings rooms and more. Another thank you goes out to the Cranbrook Bandits Baseball Club and College of the Rockies Avalanche Athletics for inviting me to the diamond and the gym, respectively. With that being said, I’ll use my final soapbox to plead that our communities support the Kootenay ICE. I know there are a many great rea-

sons why people have their varying opinions regarding this franchise, but I beg of you to look at the bigger picture and acknowledge how great of an asset this is for the community and the region as a whole. Don’t let one petty issue or another ruin a good thing for the East Kootenay. The Kootenay ICE needs the support of the community — fans and local businesses — just as much as this community needs the Kootenay ICE. If this team is left with no option but to vacate the premises at Western Financial Place, you won’t just be trying to fill the void of an anchor tenant in a big rink, you’ll be faced with the reality of a gaping hole in the community, a hole that simply can’t be filled by anything else. On that note, I will move towards conclusion, because I’m clearly starting to get emotional as I slap these final words on the page. If there’s anything that tells you, it’s how important these communities — Cranbrook and Kimberley — are to me. This place has carved out a serious space in my heart and though I’m leaving today, I’m hopeful there will be a new tomorrow that brings me back home some day. It has been an absolute pleasure serving the communities of Cranbrook and Kimberley; thank you for reading. “I won’t say goodbye, my friend, for you and I will meet again.” — Tom Petty

Team White wins Ice intrasquad Training camp provides encouraging signs for Ice Continued from page 8 game despite marvellous Morison Reed Morison registers hat trick as Team Black falls Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Reed Morison knows there are jobs available and he knows he has a shot at cracking the Kootenay Ice. If Wednesday’s performance is any indication as to what the 6-foot-2, 202-pound forward can do, he may have already solidified his role for the upcoming 2016-17 Western Hockey League campaign. Morison, an 18-yearold native of Calgary, registered a hat trick Wednesday night to fuel Team Black at the 18th annual Kootenay Ice United Way Intrasquad Game. Despite his best efforts, it wasn’t enough as Team White skated to an 8-6 victory, but the loss didn’t make Morison’s performance any less spectacular. “It felt pretty good actually,” Morison said Wednesday. “Teammates were finding me in the slot and pucks seemed to follow me. “On a personal point,

it was nice, but I kind of wish we had won.” Morison is in his first camp with the Ice after coming to Cranbrook via a November 2015 trade with the Portland Winterhawks. He skated hard, drove the net and was tough to knock off the puck Wednesday night, nearly single-handedly willing his team to victory. “Obviously the goal is to make the team,” Morison said, “and hopefully get the opportunity to show the coaches what I can do. “I thought I was moving my feet and competing hard on pucks. Overall, I thought I had a pretty decent game.” Morison helped Team Black stake out a 5-4 lead through 40 minutes, but the Taphorn twins — 16-yearolds Kaeden and Keenan — struck for back-to-back markers midway through the third period to give White a 7-5 lead. Cody Shepheard added another to get

Team Black back within one, but sophomore defenceman Jason Wenzel found an empty net with less than five seconds to play, icing the 8-6 triumph for Team White. “That’s the first time I’ve seen, in at least four or maybe five years, a little bit of comeptitiveness in the intrasquad game with some feistiness,” said Garnet Kazuik, director of scouting for the Ice, on Wednesday. “It was good to see. “I think you’re going to see some guys compete fairly hard through exhibition.” For Team White, Jared Legien chipped in with two goals and three points, while Noah Philp also added a goal and three points Between the pipes, 15-year-old Jesse Makaj split duties with 17-yearold Jakob Walter for Team Black, while 18-year-old Declan Hobbs and 15-year-old Carter Woodside handled the crease for Team White.

He also pointed to defenceman Jordan Chudley (2016 — fourth round, 78th) as another promising youngster from the team’s most recent draft class. With training camp officially in the books, preparation begins in practice this Friday as Pierce takes to the ice and puts the wheels in motion with the destination being a competitive roster before regular season action opens Sept. 23 in Calgary. “It’s going to be a steep learning curve for some of them,” Pierce said. “We’re going to ask CLASSIFIEDS HELP YOU SELL

Ask an older sibling or invite someone who is currently enrolled in the school to speak with your child and answer any questions he or she may have. Hearing directly from a fellow student may make your child feel more comfortable about what to expect. • Talk about any other fears. Engage in an open dialogue with your son or daughter about any additional fears he or she may have. If students are worried about academics, spend some time over the summer going over the curriculum. If the potential for peer pressure is a cause for concern, reinforce advice on how to react to peer pressure.

How to help students choose an extracurricular activity Extracurricular activities can benefit students

in various ways. Academic clubs, sports and volunteer organizations provide students with opportunities to grow as people and make new friends while also teaching kids skills they will use for the rest of their lives. Many parents are aware that extracurricular activities can help students improve their chances of gaining admission to college. But students who choose the right extracurricular activities will benefit in greater ways than simply strengthening their college applications. The following are a handful of ways parents can help their sons and daughters choose extracurricular activities they can benefit from for years to come. • Ask kids to jot down their interests. Students are more likely to enjoy and excel at extracurricular activities that align with their existing interests. Ask kids to jot down a list of their interests or anything they might want to try. Youngsters might want to learn a musical instrument even if they have never before taken a course on music. Once kids have listed their interests, look for activities that allow them to further explore those interests. Chances are there is a school-sponsored or community-based club or organization that will align with at least one thing on your child’s list. • Encourage kids to have fun. Kids are more likely to enjoy and fully commit to an activity if they find it fun. While extracurricular activities

can help kids grow as people and improve their image in the eyes of college admissions officers, kids will get even more out of an activity if they enjoy doing it. • Look for something that won’t interfere with schoolwork. Extracurricular activities can look great on a college application, but that benefit is lost if the activity interferes with a student’s academic performance. Some activities, including sports, demand more of students’ time than others, but make sure kids know that school always comes first. • Ask around. Ask neighbors or school officials for recommendations to help kids who have tried but failed to find the right fit with regard to extracurricular activities. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error before a child finds an activity he or she is comfortable with. Fellow parents can make great resources, and school officials likely know of a host of clubs and organizations that kids may be interested in. • Sign up with your kids. If kids are hesitant to

sign up for an activity because they are shy, sign up with them. Volunteer organizations are typically family-friendly, and kids might be more likely to come out of their shells if they sign up with their parents or siblings. As kids grow more comfortable with an activity, they will want to get more involved even if mom and dad don’t have the time. Parents can employ various strategies to help kids find activities they can be passionate about for years to come.

What’s New In The Zoo Submit ted by Win DiNN

There’s always something happening in an artist’s life, and the next big one is this Saturday, September 3, 2016. Check out a new show at Centre 64 in Kimberley. The show, ‘Students. Teacher. Play.’ is all about artists who have taken workshops with me, and the results of their play. You know it’s going to be a knockout! With fourteen artists from B.C. and Alberta showing their work, you’ll see an amazing array of mixed media play. Alice Saltiel, Alison Bjorkman, Anne Fetterley, Darcy Wanuk, Gerry Forget, Judy Dahl, Judy Walker, Laura Leeder, Louise Olinger, Lynne Mizera, Meg Nicks, Sue Pighin and yours truly will be struttin’ our stuff (well, some of it anyway) and showing you what adult play looks like. The image at right, Alice in Wonderland, by Alice Saltiel, is a bit of a teaser. An eclectic mixture of fun, fabulous, and fancy (thedolls by Darcy Wanuk pictured below qualify on all counts), you’ll find any number of things to delight the senses. Please join us for the artists’ reception at Centre 64 in Kimberley, this Saturday from 2 to 4 pm. You’ll be glad you did, ‘cause you’ve never seen mixed media play like this. The show runs through until September 24, so if you can’t join us in person on Saturday, do take some time to stop in and view it before then. From birthday cakes to the great outdoors, you’ll see it all.

Summer is gradually coming to a close, but the wildfire risk in some areas of the province remains a concern. All British Columbians are urged to exercise caution and use common sense over the Labour Day long weekend to help prevent human-caused wildfires. “British Columbia has experienced a relatively quiet wildfire season this year, but it only takes one mistake to spark a wildfire that could threaten B.C. communities and resources,” said Steve Thomson, the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “We all need to remain vigilant, be careful with fire use and respect any open burning prohibitions that are in place.” From April 1, 2016, until noon yesterday, the BC Wildfire Service responded to 988 wildfires provincewide, 466 of which were caused by people. Over 99,317 hectares have been burned so far this fire season. Human-caused fires are completely preventable and unnecessarily tie up firefighting resources that could be used to deal with naturally occurring wildfires. Detailed information about current open burning prohibitions for every region of the province is avail-

able on the BC Wildfire Service website at: http://bcfireinfo.for.gov.bc.ca/ hprScripts/WildfireNews/Bans.asp Local governments may have their own burning restrictions in place, so anyone wishing to start a fire should always check with local authorities before lighting any fire of any size. Here are some important campfire safety tips: • Campfires cannot be larger than 0.5 metres high by 0.5 metres wide. • Do not light a campfire or keep it burning in windy conditions. Weather can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material. • Have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish your campfire. • Maintain a fireguard around the campfire. This is a fuel-free area where all flammable materials (grass, kindling, etc.) have been removed. • Never leave a campfire unattended. • Make sure that the campfire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call *5555 on a cellphone or 1 800 6635555 toll-free.

Terry Lake joins MLAs heading for retirement TO M F L E TC H E R Black Press

Health Minister Terry Lake is the second senior cabinet minister in Premier Christy Clark’s government to announce he won’t be running in the B.C. election next spring. The B.C. Liberal Party confirmed Thursday that Lake is retiring as MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson, joining Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett in Kootenay East. Lake was first elected in 2009 and served as environment minister before being appointed to the health ministry. B.C. Liberal backbenchers who have announced they aren’t running again include Comox Valley MLA Don McRae, Vancouver-Langara MLA Moira Stilwell and Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm. On the NDP benches, Esquimalt-Royal Roads MLA Maurine Karagianis also confirmed Thursday she will retire after three terms. She joins NDP veterans Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley, Skeena MLA Robin Austin, Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan and one-term Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Jane Shin. Clark and NDP leader John Horgan have asked MLAs to confirm by the end of the summer as they prepare for the next election May 9, 2017.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your imagination keeps stealing you away from the present with its lure of fantasies. You won’t be able to achieve your desires if you don’t clear out some practical aspects of your life first. You can’t depend on a friend behaving as you might like. Tonight: Entertain from home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of what is happening around you, and let go of some of your to-dos so that you can kick back. Allow the weekend to begin. You are likely to run into someone you have not seen in a while, as summer friends can differ from winter friends. Tonight: Be where the fun is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You can’t seem to resist living in the moment, nor should you. It might feel as if everyone wants to chat and visit. What is wrong with that? Work is important, but it is also important to know when to embrace life. Tonight: Use a little self-discipline when out and about. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will be able to get past a problem, but only if you tap into

your patience. Be willing to ask for more of what you need and want. The good news is that you won’t have to wait long for others to respond. Do what is necessary for you to free up some more time. Tonight: All smiles. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use the daylight hours to the max. Call or visit with friends and loved ones. If you’re planning to go out of town for Labor Day weekend, you’ll want to get moving. You might find that living in the moment is easy with a lot of personal support. Tonight: Not to be found. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Investigate the situation when someone makes a demand that seems unreasonable. If this person is a boss, however, you might want to maintain a low profile. You could feel burdened by responsibilities. Decide to clear out as much as possible. Tonight: Nap, then decide. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Some surprising news could encourage you to gain a new perspective. Once you understand where others are coming from, you’ll experience inner peace. A

request is likely to push you into a leadership role, but this one will be fun. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Friends will knock on your door. Did you have plans to get a lot done today? Don’t fight the inevitable and throw your plans to the wind. It is rare to have an opportunity to visit with as many friends as you can in the next few days. Tonight: Accept a loved one’s invitation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A new beginning seems inevitable, especially with a close loved one. Recognize that you won’t be able to stop this person from trying a new trend or experience. You might as well join this person and try to understand where he or she is coming from. Tonight: With a loved one.

If there’s an outdated heating boiler left in any B.C. school, Education Minister Mike Bernier is going to fix it. Bernier announced Wednesday the latest of what he’s now calling “school enhancement” funds for B.C. public schools. This one is $20 million, with a deadline for school districts to apply for projects that must be complete by next March. Districts can resubmit applications that didn’t make it in the “fix-it” fund announced in May, which grew from $40 million to $45 million as successful projects were announced. Replacement flooring is now eligible, in addition to plumbing, heating, roof replacement, windows, lighting and electrical upgrades. Energy efficiency upgrades for schools have been targeted since 2012, when the B.C. Liberal government began setting aside $5 million a year from carbon tax charged to school districts in a dedicated fund to reduce fuel use. Bernier and Premier Christy Clark have rolled out a series of education funding top-ups since June, including a transportation fund to keep districts from charging for bus service, a fund to keep designated rural schools open and the return of $25 million in “administrative savings” that the education ministry required for the last two years. The fix-it fund is in addition to the province’s annual ministry budget, which includes $1.7 billion over three years for new schools and major projects such as seismic upgrades.

DEAR ANNIE by Annie Lane

UNWANTED PARENTING ADVICE Dear Annie: A year ago, I became a new mom to a beautiful baby girl. My husband and I live in Chicago, but we are both originally from Idaho. For Christmas last year, we went back to Idaho to visit my parents. When we got there, it was so nice to be home. We enjoyed showing our baby girl all of the beautiful nature that surrounds my parents’ house. My mom was being very helpful at first -encouraging us to go to dinner alone and helping out with the baby so that we could take a rest. But by the fifth day, she was telling me how to feed my daughter. She said the baby food from the jar is not nearly so good as the homemade kind in the blender. Then she told me I should not hold my baby till she falls asleep but rather just put her in her crib awake and let her fall asleep on her own. Those are just a few of the examples that were starting to drive me crazy. I know that she raised three children (including me), but I have my own opinions about how to be a mom. I really want to keep visiting my parents, but I don’t want to feel as if I’m being judged and condescended to with this air of “mother knows best.” After all, I’m a mother, too. -- Young Mom Dear Young: You have to understand that it is probably a little difficult for your mother to see you as a mom more than a daughter. It sounds as if she’s coming from a place of truly wanting to help. She’s bound to have some great advice, with all her years of experience, so don’t let defensiveness plug your ears and keep you from hearing what she has to say. But that doesn’t mean it’s always the right advice for you and your family. Stand your ground and make your own decisions (along with your husband). You’re starting your own family now, and you will have your own way of doing things that may be different from the way your mother did them. She’ll have to respect that. Dear Annie: My then-boyfriend’s (we married a month ago) mom died a year ago, and his dad died four months ago. Neither he nor his brothers acknowledged any of the memorial gifts, some of which came from my family members and close friends. At the time, I didn’t think it was acceptable for me to take over doing it, because we weren’t married and they were not my parents. My husband kept saying that he’d do the thankyou notes, but now a lot of time has passed and no attempts have been made. I feel guilty whenever we see these people that no thank-you notes have been sent. (When my parents passed away, I sent timely thank-yous.) After all this time, what do you suggest I do? Should I just try to forget it, as he has done, or should I write thank-yous on behalf of their family? If so, how I do I word things after so much time has passed? -- On My Mind Dear On My Mind: I think thank-yous are always better late than never. In the case of memorial gifts, it’s especially understandable. Your husband and his family were grieving. I’m fairly certain no one would hold it against them if they never got around to sending thank-yous. But for peace of mind, you may do so if you wish. I wouldn’t send out thank-yous on behalf of his whole family unless the family members ask you to, but it would be fine for you to send them out on behalf of you and your husband. One additional tip: Don’t start each one with an apology. A few brief sentences expressing your gratitude will suffice. Keep it simple. Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Sympathy & Understanding

We are deeply saddened to announce that far too soon Martin has left the home and family he loved.

He was predeceased by his parents Clarence (August 1982) and Shirley (Millner) Cloarec (April 2016) and stepfather John Millner (October 2011). Martin is survived by his loving wife, Rene; his son and best buddy, Trevor; his sisters, Lois Cloarec Hart (Day Petersen), Kathryn Sykes (Christopher), Laura Kennedy (Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Arcy) and Carol Waugh (Bob); nephew, Justin Waugh, and nieces, Kristine Arinos, Kayle Sykes, Lindsay Waugh, Rachael Sykes, Brianna Kennedy and Devon Kennedy; brothers-inlaw Ervin Serediuk (Rose), Lloyd Serediuk (Cyndi) Michael Serediuk and Robert Serediuk and sister-in law Margie Serediuk; nieces and nephews, Deanna, Mark, Dwayne, Jamie, Roslynd, Alyssa, Adam, Cory, Shauna, Breanna and Lina. When we remember Martin, and we will do so forever, we will recall the twinkle in his eyes, the joy he took in his wife and family, and his deep love of talk, teasing and Trevor.

We invite you to a celebration of Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life to be held at McPherson Funeral Home on Wednesday, September 7th at 11:00 am, followed by a reception.

The Home Depot Canada’s Cranbrook store will kick off its Orange Door fundraising campaign Sept. 1, with 100 per cent of funds raised going to Ktunaxa Nation Council. Customers shopping at the store can donate $2.00 at the checkout in exchange for an orange paper door. All donations will stay in the community to help Ktunaxa Nation Council provide services to homeless and vulnerable people in the Cranbrook area.

“Youth homelessness is one of the most urgent social issues in Canada today. Together with our community we’re building a brighter future for young people across Canada – one orange door at a time,” said Jeff Kinnaird, chair, board of directors, The Home Depot Canada Foundation and president, The Home Depot Canada. The Orange Door Project was established with the goal of eliminating youth homelessness in Canada. One hundred eightytwo Home Depot Canada stores

are taking part in this year’s campaign by selling paper orange doors in-store, and by rolling up their sleeves to help local charities complete renovation projects that will help the organizations feel more like home. The campaign runs from Sept. 1 to Oct. 9. The 10 stores that raise the most money by the end of the campaign will have their donations matched by The Home Depot Canada, with every dollar raised staying in the community to help Ktunaxa Nation Council.

The origins of Labour Day Though millions of Canadians now see the first Monday in September as one last opportunity to enjoy some summer recreation with friends and family members, Labour Day is symbolic of much more than long weekends and backyard barbecues. Labour Day was inspired in large part by Canada’s growing industrialization in the second half of the 19th century, when competition for work in the nation’s rapidly growing cities was fierce and workers

who complained of long workweeks or poor working conditions could easily be replaced. Such was the case in Toronto in 1872, when printers threatened to strike after years of lobbying for shorter workweeks. Those protests went ignored, and on March 25, 1872, the city’s printers went on strike. Within weeks, other workers in the city began to support the printers, whose strike had interrupted Toronto’s thriving publishing

industry. Within three weeks of the printers going on strike, 2,000 workers marched through the streets of Toronto. The number of marchers gradually grew, and eventually 10 percent of the city’s population, or 10,000 people, had joined in the march that culminated at Queen’s Park. But the striking worker’s efforts did not go unchallenged, as Toronto Globe founder George Brown replaced his printers with workers from nearby towns and even took legal action to put an end to the strike and have its organizers arrested for criminal conspiracy. But Prime Minister John A. MacDonald, who worked on the opposite side of the political

aisle as Brown, spoke out against the publisher’s efforts during a public demonstration at City Hall. MacDonald eventually passed the Trade Union Act, decriminalizing trade unions, and set the leaders of the strike free. Though many printers who walked out never regained their jobs, and those that did still did not earn shorter workweeks, their efforts did mark an important step forward with regard to worker’s rights in Canada. The movement that had started in Toronto soon spread to other Canadian cities, where workers also demanded shorter workweeks. Other cities also adopted parades in honor of the march that first caught the attention of MacDonald in 1872, and in 1894 then-Prime Minister Sir John Thompson officially declared Labour Day a national holiday.

Celebrate working men and women Labour Day is a bit of a misnomer. While it may seem like a day devoted to work, many workers in the United States and Canada don’t work at all on Labour Day. Labour Day is much more than the unofficial end to summer. Labour Day weekend tends to be the last big travel weekend before the holiday season, benefitting towns and businesses

that cater to tourists. But while road trips and backyard barbecues are now staples of Labour Day, the origins of the holiday bear little resemblance to the celebrations of today. Labour Day in the United States dates back to the 19th century, though its origins are still debated by historians. According to the United States Department of Labour, recent research

Labour Day Canadians have celebrated Labour Day for over 100 years, declared as a National holiday in 1894. The East Kootenay District Labour Council represents working people from all sectors of employment in the East Kootenay, who contribute to their communities every day of the year. We want to recognize all workers for their hard work & dedication to improving their workplaces & their communities for the betterment of everyone.

supports the idea that Labour Day was the brainchild of machinist Matthew Maguire, who supposedly devised the idea in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labour Union in New York. Others attribute the holiday to Peter J. McGuire, a cofounder of the American Federation of Labour and general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. Historians say the first Labour Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York. This was based on plans from Maguire’s Central Labour Union. Other states and cities would eventually adopt the first Monday in September as Labour Day. As Labour unions grew, other cities started celebrating Labour Day, which McGuire suggested should be a day to honor those “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.” Soon the popularity of Labour Day grew and recognition by the government followed. By 1885, municipal ordinances

recognizing Labour Day had been passed, and they inspired state legislation. While Labour Day was first celebrated in New York, in 1887 the state of Oregon became the first state to officially pass a law recognizing the first Monday of September as Labour Day. New York, along with Colorado, Massachusetts and New Jersey, implemented Labour Day observations soon after. On June 28, 1894, Congress officially passed an act that declared the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday. This applied to all states as well as the District of Columbia. Labour Day also is celebrated on the first Monday of September in Canada, where the day celebrates workers and the Labour union movement. It’s important for people living in North America to recognize both the significance and the history of Labour Day, which is about far more than backyard barbecues and the last of summer jaunts to the beach.
