Cranbrook, Kimberley talking integrated business licenses Trevor Crawley
Cranbrook and Kimberley are partnering up to issue inter-community business licenses (ICBL) that will allow local businesses to be com-
pliant and operate in both cities. Cranbrook brought up the issue on Monday’s regular council meeting, while Kimberley is planning to mirror a
similar bylaw at an upcoming council meeting. The move is aimed towards trades, contractors and other mobile businesses that operate outside of a
home community, according to Cranbrook mayor Lee Pratt. “The big reason for it, is there’s a lot of businesses that do business in Kimberley,”
said Pratt, “and they don’t have a business licence and they feel like they’re sneaking around and not compliant and vice versa with the Kimberley guys coming to Cran-
brook. “So we just felt the two communities working together that it’d be much simpler if we had that in place where if you have a business license in Kimberley and you’re doing business in Cranbrook, you can apply for an inter-community [license] at a reduced rate.

different priorities, financially and from a healthcare standpoint, than a senior who is 85 years old, Mackenzie said.
A boil water notice remained in effect through Tuesday for a localized area of Cranbrook, after Public Works water crews discovered a leaking sanitary sewer main Sunday evening. Residents living on Anderson Crescent and 21st Avenue South, between 2nd Street South and 2nd Street North including the apartment buildings adjacent to Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street North are the only people affected by the boil water notice. Those residents were told they must continue to boil their water for at least one minute or use an alternate, safe source of water until further notice. The boil water notice was to remain in effect until lifted by Interior Health.

Saturday, Oct. 1, marked the International Day of the Older Person as ratified by the United Nations. To recognize the date, a local organization gathered
a range of business and volunteer services geared towards seniors and held a trade show at the Heritage Inn. The day featured workshops and speeches from
elected officials, with the keynote address coming from Isobel Mackenzie, the B.C. Seniors Advocate. Mackenzie’s speech touched on stereotyping and discrimination against
seniors, while emphasizing that seniors aren’t just a single population block with all the exact same wants and needs. For example, a senior who is 65 years old will have

Cranbrook second-hand What’s Up? store owner produces map of ‘picker’s paradise’ Community Calendar
uPcoMiNG
B A R RY CO U LT E R
One of the economic delights of the Cranbrook/Kimberley area is the fact it is the second-hand store capital of southeast B.C. One could even go so far as to think of it as a second-hand destination, with travellers coming from the West Kootenay, Southern Alberta and up Columbia Valley way, looking for deals, treasures, artifacts. The operator of the newest second-hand store in the area — The Great Western Garage Sale on 11th Avenue South in Cranbrook, noticed that for its population base, the Kimberley/Cranbrook area offers a remarkable range of secondhand shopping options — making it a true picker’s paradise. Cub Lea, who started up The Great Western Garage Sale three months ago, has compiled a concise map of more than 20 outlets in Cranbrook, Kimberley and Marysville. “The region plays host to no fewer than six secondhand and consignment stores, three antique dealers, two pawnbrokers and a whopping seven thrift shops, for a total of at least 18 dedicated secondhand shopping outlets spread between Cranbrook and Kimberley,” Lea said in a release announcing the launch of the map. In September, Lea produced a free single-sheet, two-page map-slash-brochure listing the names, addresses, phone numbers and store hours of the second-hand outlets which he bills as “The Picker’s Paradise Treasure Map.” “The idea was to have it be a cooperative effort by all the commercial secondhand retailers in the area, but I’m the junior member in this club so I put it together and got it printed,” Lea said. The map is now available free of charge from the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce and at many of the area’s
commercial secondhand retailers, as well as most of the region’s motels, hotels, gas stations and other locations which offer tourist brochures. Since it’s also a guide to seven different area thrift stores, the Cranbrook Food Bank Society also makes it available to food bank clients who may not be aware of the region’s full range of thrift shop options. “I did this primarily as a different way to try to promote my own store,” added Lea. “I wasn’t sure how hard I’d have to work to get the hotels and gas stations to carry it, since there’s always the risk that they’ll see it as just more clutter and waste, but I’m told that this map actually saves them a bit of work.” Lea says that while distributing the first printing, he was repeatedly told by motel and gas station clerks that they regularly get asked where to find the area’s secondhands, thrifts and pawnshops. “I’ve been told that a map like this existed for some time about a generation ago but just sort of went away. It looks like it was missed, because this map’s been a big hit. Even the Salvation Army Thrift Store offered to provide it, and they were asking me for another batch of 50 in about ten days.” The map itself is a simple tri-fold brochure printed on ordinary printer paper from a PDF document file. Lea chose to use this format and did not copyright the document so that the retailers on the map and anyone else interested in providing the map to their patrons could print copies as they were needed, and no one person would be saddled with the printing and production costs. Lea has offered to provide the map in PDF document format to anyone who requests it, and has offered to cover the printing cost as well for any local non-profit organization or hospitality
provider wishing to host it. As for The Great Western Garage Sale, located at 16A 11th Avenue South (across the street from the Studio Stage Door), Lea opened it up three months ago, in the site of the former A-1 Music Store. “Right now, I specialize in ‘guy stuff,’” he said. “There are a lot of musical instruments.” He said he’s working towards having the front two-thirds of the store as consignment space, and the back third for music. On the Picker’s Paradise map: Second-hand stores • Funhogz Gear Exchange (Cranbrook) • The Great Western Garage Sale (Cranbrook) • Togs and Toys (Kimberley) • Trade Your Treasures (Cranbrook) • Twice is Nice (Cranbrook) • Pippins Fashion Consignment (Cranbrook) Pawnbrokers • Aabco Pawbrokers (Cranbrook) • Kootenay Pawnbrokers (Cranbrook) Antique Stores • Atlantis Antiques (Marysville) • Dragon Antiques (Cranbrook) • Phoenix Antiques (Cranbrook) Thrift Shops • Bibles for Missions — soon to be renamed Mission Thrift Store (Cranbrook) • The Cellar (Cranbrook) • Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store (Cranbrook) • Kimberley Health Care Auxiliary Thrift Store (Kimberley) • Price is Right Consignment (Cranbrook) • The Salvation Army Thrift Store (Cranbrook) Pages Book Emporium in Cranbrook and the Friends of the Kimberley Public Library Society Used Book Store sell used books in the area.
Integrated business licenses on the table CONTINUED from page 1 “Basically it gives them more of a comfort feeling that they’re compliant with what they should be doing.” Currently, there are 66 local businesses that hold business licenses in both Cranbrook and Kimberley. The ICBL would be an additional $75 fee on top of a regular business license fee. It is not an unfamiliar concept, as there is an existing
ICBL partnership in the West Kootenay between Trail, Rossland, Warfield, Fruitvale and Montrose. Across B.C., there are 11 ICBL partnerships with 81 participating local governments. Cranbrook will still be able to dictate what products and services businesses can and can’t offer within the city, even if they are based in Kimberley,
according to Pratt, who used medical marijuana facilities as an example. “That’s our stance as the City of Cranbrook; they’re illegal, we’re not going to license them,” Pratt said. “Kimberley chose to go the other way, that’s their perogative, but we’re not.” According to a staff report, the province has heard from the 11 participating communi-
ties with an ICBL partnership that licensing compliance is up, while administrative costs and processing have been reduced. The Cranbrook and Kimberley chambers of commerce have endorsed the ICBL, while the city adds that another municipality is interested in joining the ICBL partnership. The matter will come back before council on Oct. 24, 2016.
Boil water advisory remains in effect CONTINUED from page 1 The boil water notice included all water use for brushing teeth, drinking, bathing, and washing fruits and vegeta-
bles and for cleaning. All other residents on municipal water were not affected by this notice, the City of Cran-
brook said in a press release. All residents affected were notified by City staff Sunday evening. Interior Health continues to monitor the situation closely in conjunction with Public Works
water crews. Water samples continue being taken at various locations in the affected area and are sent to an independent lab for analysis.

There has been great excitement at TM Roberts recently with the running of the Paarlauf between the host school and local elementary schools over several days. The Paarlauf is a progressive relay race involving mixed teams of nine runners for Grades 4, 5 and 6. Grade 4 runners from TM Roberts, St. Mary’s, Kootenay Christian Academy, Highlands and Gordon Terrace are caught sprinting to the first station, where they will pass on the batons.
Seniors advocate emphasizes diversity of seniors CONTINUED from page 1 “I wanted to emphasize that number one, seniors are diverse folks,” said Mackenzie. “The overwhelming majority of seniors are active, engaged, living independently.
“They’re not a problem, they’re a resource and we really have to dial down this image we’re projecting of all seniors as frail and vulnerable. Some are, and we need to pay attention
[to that], but the vast majority aren’t, so I think that’s an important message to get out.” Delivering health care in rural BC can be tough, with issues like transportation and home care posing particular challenges. Cran-

brook has the East Kootenay Regional Hospital in the city, however, there could be transportation challenges for seniors who live in outlying communities such as Kimberley, Jaffray and Fernie. “The first challenge in rural B.C. is the transportation challenge,” Mackenzie said, “that more people depend on being able to drive in rural areas than they do in the city and the transit systems just aren’t there and realistically aren’t going to be there in the capacity to meet everybody’s needs.” Delivery of at-home services in rural B.C. is also a challenge, as getting care workers to and from clients who live regionally outside the centres can be tough. “If someone only needs half an hour of service in the morning,” said Mackenzie, “are you going to spend an hour driving there, and an hour back to deliver it, so what are the more
Isobel Mackenzie creative ways that we can assist with that?” Giving money directly to those who need assistance, rather than having to go through the public system, is one potential option the government should explore, said Mackenzie. “I’ll use home support as an example,”
Mackenzie said. “If we say you need an hour of home support a day, we’ll send the worker out, and that’s costing the system about $50 an hour. “If we gave you $50 a day, you might be able to find, you could get somebody to live at your house, give them a sti-
pend, you might find more creative ways.” The trade show was a chance for local businesses and volunteer organizations to come together and showcase their products and services that seniors could take advantage of — services such as Better at Home, where volunteers help seniors with tasks such as light housekeeping, grocery shopping, yard work and snow shovelling. Some volunteer programs are as simple as a volunteer calling up on a senior every day to make sure they are doing okay, Mackenzie said, adding that she spent 20 years working with non-profit organizations. “It’s a symbiotic relationship, because the people who are volunteering are getting just as much out of it as the people who are receiving the service they’re voluntarily giving and I think that’s very important,” she said.

Computer system cost control needed: auditor general says Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C.’s auditor general is recommending a new oversight system for information technology project costs, as the province struggles to update old computer systems that control everything from vehicle insurance to health records. The B.C. government spent $668 million on information technology in the last fiscal year, Auditor General Carol Bellringer said in a report released this week. Bellringer reported in 2015 that a health ministry system to track infectious diseases ran more than four times over its original budget and was five years late. The province’s Integrated Case Management System for vulnerable children and adults was declared complete only after its function was downgraded. And a student data system for school districts, implemented for $95 million to replace another system that had proven costly and unreliable, had its own glitches and slowdowns when it was put in place for the 2015 school year. B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong says information systems are among the most difficult
projects to manage for government, which often lacks the in-house expertise to supervise them. The government says it is moving ahead on Bellringer’s recommendation to set up central oversight of projects across the government, and mandate letters for all ministries next year will require significant IT projects to be reported to the responsible minister. NDP critic Bruce Ralston said the government recently fired the main contractor for its “Clinical Systems Transformation Project” in the health ministry, an $842 million system with an uncertain future. He said other IT projects that ran into trouble and over-budget include BC Hydro’s system upgrade and JUSTIN, a criminal case management database for police investigations, court documents and victims or witnesses of crime. Bellringer’s review found that problems with IT systems are found in all government and private sector organizations. World-wide, one out of five IT projects fails, and the majority have significant problems not anticipated at the outset.
Stamping out the man Black Press
UBCM will ask the province to force all local governments to use gender-neutral language to be more inclusive of all citizens. Many cities already choose to do so, but some delegates said holdouts don’t deserve a choice. A resolution making the request passed, but there were opponents. Esquimalt Coun. Susan Low said she doesn’t want the province overriding local autonomy in language matters, calling it a bad precedent. And Powell River Regional District director Colin Palmer said such “silly” resolutions “abuse” the English language.
Palmer argued “man” in many words such as manhole and alderman reflect not exclusive gender but the latin root word “manus” that refers to hand and in some cases the act of voting with the hand. “Nowadays, some of you are chairs,” he told delegates. “You used to be a chairman because you voted – you controlled the votes. You used to be an alderman because you were an elder who voted.” Other delegates on the pro side expressed disbelief that there was any debate whatsoever. The provincial government replaced the title alderman with councillor years ago after a 1990 request by UBCM.

The Cranbrook Hub for Refugees raised over $7,000 as part of their golf ball drop fundraiser, as the winner was unveiled last weekend in dramatic fashion. A helicopter from Bighorn Helicopters Inc flew by the Mission Hills Golf Course and hovered over the driving range, dropping hundreds of balls over a bullseye painted on the ground. Each ball had a number that corresponded to a sold raffle ticket and it was Roger Davidson of Victoria who won the $1,000 prize, after organizers discovered his ball was closest to the centre of the bullseye.

If you don’t use it you lose it “Give me land, lots of land under starry skies above. Don’t fence me in.” Cole Porter
S
ometime between tiring of Alice in Wonderland, Pooh of Pooh Corner and other great literature and trying to understand the weird behaviour of girls, I discovered mountaineering and, in almost every mountaineering book I read, the authors talked of the music that rang in their ears as they plodded wearily uphill over rocky debris or glacial ice. In most cases, they spoke of Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Brahms and other such famous composers but, in my case, the music is so much more prosaic. A few days ago, two of my friends and a large dog escorted me to the crest of a ridge near Teepee Mountain and, not only did the climb take considerably more time than when I first tramped up that steep trail, but the music that assailed my ears over those innumerable steps was far from classical. It was that non-classic ‘Don’t fence me in.” You know, the one that goes, “I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences, gaze at the moon until I lose my senses etc etc.” Well, I certainly was close to losing my senses before we reached the top.
But there was no moon in sight. It was still only just past midday and the sun was battling boiling clouds that were all that remained of the storm that had dumped fresh snow there the day before. Suddenly that silly music once sung by The Andrews Sisters, Bing Crosby and sundry others dissipated with my fatigue. I was elated; once more I had made it to the top; once again I was staring out over the Wildhorse Valley and all the memories from the past sixty years that lay there. Peter There stood Mount Warland Sneath, snow clad and brilliant in the sunlight. I had climbed Sneath many years before with my friend Sandy and I could well recall the tiny holds that took us to the top and how they somehow disappeared on our way down. To get to Sneath and its twin Haley we used to drive up the East Fork road of the Wildhorse but now it is overgrown with alder. That old mining road is disused and now can’t be used. If we don’t use it, we lose it. Further to our left was Bear Lake and the ridges above it leading to the lofty top of Mount Ruault where I once stood listening to the voices of young people and being unable to trace them. Everybody and his grandmother now

make the trek into Bear Lake and some into its smaller twin, Little Bear, tucked into the next valley. The approach road was once closed by the Forestry people but re-opened by determined folk who knew of the joys in the valleys above. That road is now well travelled; used and so not lost. We never did learn the proper name of the next creek to the north but the road into it got called nasty things over the years as it degenerated, washed out and became overgrown with alder. Three of us took mountain bikes the last time we ventured that way and Paul got himself a little behind as he stopped for ‘a call of nature.” However, when he did catch up, he found two of us face down on the road. He suspected at first at least a bear attack but soon joined us lying enjoying those delicious wild strawberries that flourish there. From our viewpoint of that high ridge last week we couldn’t quite see the Nine Basins nor windy Mount Dingley but I found myself remembering those halcyon days when my lovely wife Jimmy and I had wandered those ridges. And so that day last week we retreated from that grand viewpoint and the memories it had given me and we made our ways down, I not hearing hear a single note of that silly song again. It had been a fine day and maybe, once more, I’ll be able to climb up there if old age doesn’t fence me in.

going to be a great year for a variety of reasons! One important reason is we are returning the film series and the festival to the Key City Theatre for the 2016-2017 year. It is also the 25th Anniversary for the Key City Theatre so there is no better time to collaborate on this event! Our First Film is Captain Fantastic starring Viggo Mortenson, is a story about a father raising his six children in what many would consider an alternative lifestyle. When tragedy strikes, Viggo’s character is forced to bring the children to civilization which forces him to challenge his own beliefs. Sponsored by East Kootenay Community Credit Union.

FRIDAY, OCT. 7 LAWNBOWLING
Our fourth season of Indoor Lawn Bowling commences with an Open Day from 10:30-12:30 on Friday, Oct. 7, at the Kimberley United Church Lower Hall. Indoor Lawn Bowls is especially suitable for seniors and juniors. The effort required to play at a high standard is much less than with an outside grass lawn, and seniors can remain competitive much longer, even if they are bowling from a chair or wheel chair. Finesse and tactics are more important to success than strength and agility – making this a very satisfying sport for those no longer wanting to curl competitively or ski.
Come along to Kimberley United Church and find out all about it. We provide the equipment – just bring yourself and a pair of flat and clean shoes. Don’t worry if you have never played before – we will teach you. Regular weekly roll ups commence at 10:30 MST on Friday, October 14, and will cost the same as last year – by donation, suggested $8 a session. The first two times are free.
SATURDAY, OCT. 8 JUST EAT IT FILM AND CHALLENGE CENTRE 64
Everyone loves food. As a society, people devour countless cooking shows, culinary magazines and foodie blogs. So how is it possible that nearly 50% of the world’s food ends up in the trash? On Saturday Oct. 8, Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook and the East Kootenay Humanity Network present Just It Eat, a food waste story at Centre 64 in Kimberley. Doors open at 7 p.m with the film starting at 7:30 p.m and entry is free (by donation). Following the film Wildsight will introduce the Just Eat It Challenge, a unique opportunity for households to document their food waste habits. More information about the film and challenge can be found at wildsight.ca/programs/justeatit/ or by contacting Andrea Chapman at 250-4272535 and kimcran@wildsight.ca.

SPORTS
Warriors come out to play Kootenay’s rookies shine, but Ice are outlasted by Moose Jaw’s star talent BRAD MCLEOD
For the fifth straight game, the Kootenay Ice lost by a single goal as they gave up their lead twice and fell to the Moose Jaw Warriors by a score of 3-2. Once again, the final blow against the Ice came late, with the Warriors’ Nikita Popugaev getting the game winner with under six minutes to go in regulation. Although it was another deeply frustrating night for the Ice, in the loss they got a glimpse of a bright future. Several first-year players had standout performance on Tuesday night, which gave hope despite the team’s aggravating present. The most notable rookie in the lineup was Jakob Walter who played his first ever WHL game between the pipes for the Ice. Walter was superb in his debut, making 32 saves on 35 shots and giving his team a chance to win. “It was good to get that first one out of the way, I just wish we could’ve won the game,” Walter said following the loss. “It was a close one, one lucky bounce could’ve changed the game.” Despite playing in what was surely the biggest game of his career, Walter looked
calm from the moment the puck dropped and stayed cool all night.
“[The play of our rookies] bodes well for our future, but we need to focus on the present right now and capitalize on the contributions that those kids our giving us.” Luke Pierce The Ice, as a whole, got off to a solid start in what was a tempered opening to the contest. At the start, the Ice and Warriors traded limited bouts of offensive pressure and Walter stood tall when he had to. The Ice broke the scoring near the end of the first period, when Matt Alfaro made a hit and grabbed the puck in the Moose Jaw zone and threw it on net. The puck bounced right to Dylan Stewart,
who buried it for his first of the year. Down by one, the Warriors came out flying in the second. Captain Brett Howden tore down the left wing in the first minute but Walter hugged the post and kept the puck out. Moments later, Walter stopped Tanner Jeannot on a one-timer from the slot. As the period progressed the play got a little more even but eight minutes in the Warriors tied up the game when defenceman Jett Woo threw a puck at the net that went over Walter’s glove. The tie didn’t persist for long however, the Taphorn twins quickly went on the attack and combined to put the Ice back ahead with a fantastic odd man rush. It was Keenan Taphorn’s first career WHL goal and Cale Fleury was credited with the second assist “I just put the puck on net [and] luckily it got a good bounce and went in,” Taphorn said on his first goal, which came just two games after his brother Kaedan got his first. The second period ended with an Ice lead, but in the final frame the Warriors looked determined to make it a game. The Moose Jaw stars start-

Howden finally evened the game at around the five minute mark of the third, with a perfect deflection on defenceman Dmitri Zaitsev’s point shot. While the game briefly settled down, and the Ice started to regain some momentum, with five minutes to go the Warriors sealed a victory of a great individual effort by one of their best players. Popugaev used his speed to split the defense and deked around Walter for the
game’s winning tally. Although it was a special night for both Walter and Taphorn, who achieved some of their first career milestones, it didn’t end the way either of them would’ve liked. Coach Luke Pierce, however, did find some consolation despite the game’s outcome in their play. “[The rookies] have exceeded expectations, there’s no doubt,” Pierce said. “Sam Huston as well, tonight, I thought [he] was outstanding. All those guys have been excellent. “It bodes well for our future, but we need to focus on the
present right now and capitalize on the contributions that those kids our giving us.” For the kids, it’s just about getting a little luck. They’re certain that they’re very close to be a winning team. “It takes that one bounce to get one in the back of the net and tie it up,” Keenan Taphorn said. “We just need that one goal, it seems like it’s the same [thing] every game [but] just one bounce and we’re 5-0.” The Ice’s next three games are on the road, as they take on the Regina Pats on Saturday, the Warriors again on Saturday, and the Swift
Current Broncos on Monday. As they travel across Saskatchewan, the Ice will still be looking for their first win after another week of near misses. The Ice got confirmation last night that they have a good future ahead of them, but they’ll be hoping that future comes a little bit quicker in the win column. Notes: Scratches for the Ice included Declan Hobbs (G), Nikita Radzivilyuk (D) and Michael King (F) … The Warriors scratched Ryan Gardiner (D) and Brandon Armstrong. (F)
Legien closes Kootenay Ice chapter of his life Former first-round pick released from team, made tough choice to return home to Saskatchewan
BR AD MCLEOD
At the end of the 2015-16 season, Jared Legien was honoured by the Kootenay Ice with an award following his first season with the team. It wasn’t the MVP trophy, the prize for top rookie, or even the distinction of being the most underrated player. Legien was given the EKC Community Relations Award for the time he spent reading at local school libraries,
helping with minor hockey practices and playing street hockey with youngsters. After spending 69 games with the team last year, the Ice announced on Monday that Legien had been reassigned to a to-beannounced team in the Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League. According to coach Luke Pierce, the decision fulfilled the seventeen-year-old from
Pilot Butte, Saskatchewan’s desire to return home. “Last year was tough for Jared, he felt that he struggled a little bit and, the way the year started for him [this season], he just wasn’t enjoying himself the way you should be when you’re playing the game,” Pierce said. “He wanted to go back closer to home and he’s going to play some tier two hockey there, and hope-
fully enjoy the game a little more.” Pierce said that he respected Legien’s decision and that he empathized with how tough of a call it was for a young player to make. “I had a really good meeting on Sunday with Jared, we went to get coffee and just talked about life more than anything,” he said. “I think he’s going to be successful in whatever he chooses to do be-
Jared Legien cause of his personality and how much he cares about people. “His involvement with our community last year, his relationship
with his billet [family], his relationship with his teammates — he’s just a great all-around kid and I think he’ll do well.” Legien first joined the Ice as their first pick in the 2013 WHL Bantam draft. He was the ninth pick overall and was just five selections back of Nolan Patrick, the Brandon Wheat Kings forward who is currently projected to be next year’s top NHL draft pick.
Legien picked up 8 points in his 71 career WHL games, playing the majority of last season and suiting up for two of the Ice’s opening four contests this season. The Ice are now nearly at the roster number that they will carry for the remainder of the season. They currently have 24 players — three goaltenders, seven defencemen, 14 forwards — still with the club.

Community leaders and volunteers will join Black Press, Kootenay Savings Credit Union, East Kootenay Community Credit Union and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the power of literacy in Kimberley and Cranbrook.

Throughout Reach a Reader Month, Loonies for Literacy piggy banks will be available at Kootenay Savings Credit Union in Kimberley, East Kootenay Community Credit Union in Cranbrook, local businesses and community-based literacy programs. Statistics indicate that 45 percent of British Columbians aged 16-65 have difficulties with some daily living tasks, including comparison shopping, filling out a form and understanding instructions.1 “Literacy is so much more than being able to read and
write,” says Carol Fairhurst, Community Literacy Coordinator. “Today, people need to access information in many ways, fill out online forms such as job applications and use social media.” Alison Facey, Community Literacy Coordinator in Cranbrook, adds: “Through our Reach a Reader campaign, we hope to increase awareness of literacy needs in our community and raise funds to support the free programs and services we offer for children, families, adults, immigrants and seniors. Every little bit makes a difference – small change can create big changes!” You can support the Reach a Reader campaign by purchasing a paper on October 5, visiting either the Kootenay Savings Credit Union or East Kootenay Community Credit Union, or by dropping some
change into one of the Loonies for Literacy piggy banks you will see around towns throughout October.

WORLD TEACHER’S DAY
Cranbrook Townsman / Kimberley Bulletin
World Teachers’ Day: why October 5? UNESCO proclaimed 5 October to be World Teachers’ Day in 1994, celebrating the great step made for teachers on 5 October 1966, when a special intergovernmental conference convened by UNESCO in Paris adopted the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers, in cooperation with the ILO. This recommendation sets forth the rights and responsibilities of teachers as well as international standards for their initial preparation and further education, recruitment, employment, teaching and learning conditions. Various guidelines are included regarding teachers’ participation in educational decisions through consultation and negotiation with policy-makers. Since its adoption, the Recommendation has been considered an important set of guidelines to promote teachers’ status in the interest of quality education. 5 October also celebrates the adoption by the UNESCO General Conference in 1997 of the UNESCO Recommendation concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel.
WTD is a natural extension of UNESCO’s all year round work of promoting teachers, ensuring that this profession, so vital to the healthy functioning of society, is itself “healthy”. Teachers are a normative indicator of social health.
Why an international day, doesn’t each country have very specific issues? Teachers are producing global citizens, so they are global teachers, who need to situate their advances on a global level. WTD is an opportunity to rethink national issues facing teachers from an international perspective, to benchmark progress made by national teachers in a global context. UNESCO provides the best global context to address and exchange ideas across borders.
Why a day for teachers?
World Teachers’ Day October 2015 Oct. 5,5,2016
The Board of Education of School District No. 5 (Southeast Kootenay), on behalf of all members of the School District, sincerely thanks all of the teachers in our District for inspiring children with their love of learning. World Teachers’ Day gives us an opportunity to acknowledge your contributions to education and to share our appreciation for your commitment to students throughout the District. Thank you for your hard work and dedication which contributes to the overall success of School District No. 5 (Southeast Kootenay).
WORLD TEACHERS’ DAY 2016.10.05
World Teachers’ Day held annually on 5 October, is a UNESCO initiative, a day devoted to appreciating, assessing, and improving the educators of the world. The real point is to provide a time to look at and address issues pertaining to teachers. Strangely one of the most central, vital professionals to society does not receive the respect it deserves in some parts of the world.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You help make us a success.

The more participants in pink we get, the greater the donation to breast cancer research and awareness,” she said. “This event is for any person over the age of 10. No prior experience is necessary - no
dance background or rhythm needed. It’s about letting go, moving to the music, having fun with an amazing group of people, all in support of breast cancer research.” “Remember to dress in pink - in recognition of breast cancer - and get your tickets to dance with us in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Please get your tickets as soon as possible so we can ensure we have enough food and space,” said Amos. Tickets and more information on the event
can be found on the events Facebook page – 2nd Annual Party in Pink Zumbathon, or by contacting Amos through Alissa.amos@ gmail.com or by phone at 250-421-4428. “Arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes prior to the event as there are waivers to be signed. Together we can make a difference. We may as well dance up a storm and have some laughs while doing it. Josee, Chandra and I would like to thank everyone in advance for their support and participation.”
Canadian Cancer Society partners with country star Brett Kissel SUBMIT TED
Entrepreneur and philanthropist W. Brett Wilson, and Country star Brett Kissel are joining creative forces to encourage the public to support the hundreds of thousands of Canadians battling cancer each year. The partnership came about after Wilson heard “I Didn’t Fall in Love With Your Hair”— a song on Kissel’s newest album. The emotional song, which tells the story of enduring love through a battle with cancer, struck a deep chord with Wilson. Until October 28, proceeds from downloads of “I Didn’t Fall in Love With Your Hair” will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society. During this time, Wilson will match the money raised through song sales up to $25,000.
“I’ve now battled cancer twice and the reasons I’ve survived were the abundance of care from the people around me, and surrounding myself with music and movies that inspired me to cheer, to laugh and to cry,” says Wilson. “This partnership with Brett and the Canadian Cancer Society gives Canadians a chance to support their friends, family, and others in the larger community who are battling cancer on any given day by offering them the truly healing gift of music. The message is simple—whether your hair is here or gone—you’re loved. Sometimes that’s the best medicine of all.” Kissel also has a personal relationship with cancer. His mother Brenda has had cancer several times, enduring more than 40 surgeries. “It’s a special song for my mom and it gives a
lot of hope to people across Canada,” says Kissel. “It’ll make you think about those who you love, and what might happen if you found yourself in that situation. Whether you’re young or old, it’s a song that has such a strong and positive message and I am very proud to be the guy to bring that message to the public.” To get involved, visit bit.do/ BrettKissel and purchase the single “I Didn’t Fall in Love With Your Hair” between now and October 28. From coast-to-coast, the Canadian Cancer Society is making a real difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families through world-class research and support programs that help people when they are feeling scared and alone, according to Annual Giving Coordinator Jenn Smith.
“It’s about life, not cancer, and the Society is dedicated to pushing this message forward,” she adds. “Residents near and far are encouraged to call the Society (1-888-939-3333) to connect with an expert who can help answer questions on 200+ types of cancer,” she said. “And at the local Cranbrook office, we offer further support at the ground level through many ways, including free wigs and breast prosthesis for the community.” The Society is open to independent ideas that raise funds and awareness for cancer research and support programming. Residents with a drive to start up an independent fundraiser for the Society are encouraged to contact the Cranbrook office, located at 105 9th Ave. South or call 250-426-8916.

1905 Gold mine story … Three members of the Fernie Free Press staff, J. R. Wallace, J. W. Robertson and Bert Whimster, had a pleasant tramp over to Crows Nest last Sunday. They arrived at Mr. Good’s hotel, the Summit house, at 5 o’clock in the evening, having covered the 25 miles in ten hours. The trip over is most enjoyable. The trail is good and fairly level, and nature is at her best at this season of the year. At the Summit House they met an old prospector named John Cochrane who had just been brought out of the Flathead the day before more dead than alive. Under Mr. Good’s careful attention the old man was rapidly recovering and he told our representatives a thrilling tale, bordering on the incredible, of an unknown gold mine he had discovered in the heart of the Flathead and of the terrible privations he had undergone. Mr. Cochrane is a typical prospector who has seen 65 winters. He was brought to the Summit House by two other prospectors who happened to run across him in a helpless condition, suffering from the privations he had undergone. “I left Spokane four weeks ago,” said Mr. Cochrane, “for the Flathead to prospect certain coal and oil claims held by a Spokane syndicate. With me was an expert who went in to examine the seams. We took possession of a vacant shack near our claims, 21 miles south of Crows Nest and one mile down the Flathead river from the junction of the Crows Nest trail with the river. After two or three days my partner took sick, caused, we both believed from drinking spring water that was covered with oil seepage. He left me to go back to Spokane, promising to send me more grub and assistance. I did not hear from him again. A few days after he left me I discovered near our cabin an old blaze mark on a tree. A mile further on I noticed another, and upon examination I found others, evidently marking an old trail. With a good deal of difficulty I followed the blaze, though all signs of a trail had long since disappeared. I kept on believing that the trail had not been made without a purpose. After four miles laborious work I came upon a deserted placer gold mine on a small creek. I examined it with interest. The diggings had evidently been deserted for many years, probably 15 or 16 years I should say by the general appearance. A great deal of work had been done by the unknown miners. I should say at least enough to keep six men busy for two seasons. A trench 50 feet long, 10 feet deep and 3 feet wide at the bottom and 5 feet at the top had been dug, and the earth had evidently been washed for the yellow metal. I saw no signs of the departed miners, no pans, no habitation and no tools of any nature. I came away after spending an hour or two there, intending to go
back at a later day. A few days later my food supply ran out and I took ill, partly from privation and partly from drinking the oil water. I was in a very bad condition when found by a couple of prospectors who came to my cabin last Tuesday. They gave me some medicine and food, but returning from their claims on Thursday and finding me better they brought me out on horseback.” There, is a legend still, current among old time prospectors which may throw some light upon the strange story told by this old miner. The story goes that years ago three miners with picks, shovels and pans made their way into the Flathead country. Some weeks later one made his appearance back into civilization and told of a harrowing conflict with Indians. They had discovered a rich gold claim and were busy developing it when they were attacked by Indians. His two comrades were slain and he escaped. Undaunted by his experience he secured the assistance of three others and went back to follow up his discoveries. That was the last ever heard of them. Mr. Cochrane came to Fernie on Monday and proceeded to Spokane the following morning. His two rescuers were rewarded for their kindness by a full description of his find and they left Crows Nest the next morning to sift it to the bottom. Lost or not lost … Wishing for a nice fat grouse or partridge for his supper last Sunday Capt. J. O. Trow, of the Perry Creek Hydraulic Mining company took his dog and gun and strolled into the nearby hills. Upon his failure to return at the supper hour the family became somewhat anxious and when darkness had settled and he had not yet appeared all feared that he had met with some serious accident. Accordingly several men in the employ of the company took lanterns and began a search in the hills, which lasted until near midnight, when it was abandoned to wait for daylight. At daybreak the entire crew was out and soon all the people along the creek, including W. F. Collins, Gust Thies, O. Burge, Arthur Burge, and Jack Thompson and his crew, were earnestly searching. Mrs. O. Burge, of Old Town, also kindly went to help to soothe the sufferings of fear and suspense of the wife and daughter, Mrs. F. F. Servis, of LaCrosse, Wis. The search, under the direction of Mr. H. A. Bright, of Black River Falls, Wis., was continued until noon when the honorable captain strolled in claiming he was not lost but that the camp had been dodging him. The explanation disclosed the fact that Mr. Trow had missed his way, in fact had even missed Old Town, when darkness overtook him and he was obliged to camp in the hills for the night, in the morning it was dark and stormy and a heavy fog lay in the valley, which did not rise for several hours. After the sun became visible Mr. Trow made his way to the creek, crossed it, and discovered himself three miles below Old Town and six miles from home, he arrived home safe and sound, but slightly worse for wear, shortly after noon, where he was received with great
Ready to hit the road in the Rambler.
The Ptarmigan sternwheeler on the Columbia River, 1905 rejoicing. The searchers were accordingly called in and dinner served and Mr. Trow retired to secure the much needed rest. “Let the fatted calf be killed.” Steamboat travel … For the balance of the season Captain Armstrong has decided that the Ptarmigan will make no more regular trips, but will leave Golden about every four days. The exceptionally low water is the reason given for this announcement. The steamer this season, all things considered, has had a good season’s business, and it is understood that the freight for the winter is now nearly all delivered and there will be no such trouble at the close of navigation as there has in every previous year. The ore to go down is also nearly cleared up and another trip or two will finish it. Without doubt the Ptarmigan has done a much larger business with tourists this year than ever in the history of navigation on the Upper Columbia river. This, of course, is most gratifying to the captain and everyone with interests in the country. The number of tourists who have arrived may not be counted by the thousands yet a good substantial start may be said to have been made in this direction and each year the effect will be seen. Besides the benefits to be derived from the tourist’s trade has been demonstrated and any means taken toward increasing this trade will now be more readily participated in. Eagle vs goat … Jim McLeod, Bob Windfield and Bob McKeeman certify to having seen a novel fight between a monster eagle and a full grown mountain goat while at work
WIKIPEDIA
at the White Cat mine on Boulder creek. They state that they had seen the goat nearly every morning and evening across the creek, and one day Bob Windfield was working at the mouth of the tunnel when he noticed a big eagle swoop down at the goat, and the goat immediately reared up and struck at the eagle. Bob then called the other men out to witness the fight. The fight continued perhaps ten minutes. The eagle would rise in the air and then swoop down, and each time “Billy” would get up on his hind legs and bunt, with his head and horns. When the eagle rose each time the goat would run and the fight ended when the goat reached the shelter of a projecting ledge of rock. Of course … A young man here wants to know how long girls should be courted. Same as short girls, of course. 1906 NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE ... Cranbrook narrowly escaped having the fire alarm sounding on Sunday night last. It seems the railway men were holding a meeting in the hall over Patmore Bros store Sunday afternoon, and on the floor was a spittoon filled with sawdust. Someone threw a lighted match or cigar into this and it was not noticed. The contents were consumed by the fire and then the floor caught and after burning a hole through to the store burned itself out. Lucky for Cranbrook it did so. When will smokers learn to be careful of burning matches? Now three autos in Cranbrook … Cranbrook is the automobile
center of the Kootenays. The arrival of Mr. Baker’s new 40 horse power, Rambler, making the third big machine to have its headquarters here. The following is an interesting account of the trip from Spokane to Cranbrook. “Our party left Spokane on the 21st inst. on a 40 h. p. Rambler, our pilot and Chauffeur was Mr. J. F. Strode who represents Messrs T. B. Jeffery & Co. of Kenosha, Wis. and who was not long in landing us in Sand Point where he opened our eyes by calmly driving the machine up two twelve inch planks and depositing it safely on a flat car on which it was taken to Rexford; there on its arrival our friend Strode repeated the trick with two planks, only in this instance he backed off the car. (The above was about as pretty a piece of business as one need wish to see, trick riding on a bicycle is slow compared with this.) Well! from Rexford we started for Gateway where we had to wait while Dame Canada made up her mind how much there was in it for her; then on to Wasa the home of our pioneer motorist in this neighbourhood; we stayed with host Hanson for a few days during which the owner was getting all the instruction he could both in running the vehicle and also getting what knowledge he could of the working of the mechanism. On the morning of the 27th, Cranbrook was startled by a most melodious tooting and round the corner into Baker Street swings the new automobile steered by its proud owner V. Hyde Baker Esquire, who had with him the above mentioned Mr. Strode and our esteemed fellow townsman James T. “Jim” Laidlaw.” Curling starts … On Friday evening of last week a large and representative meeting of citizens was held in the Council Chambers to consider the advisability of erecting a rink for the purpose of curling where all may take part in the “warm game.” Judge P. E. Wilson took the chair and gave a few important facts regarding the proposition of erecting a suitable building. So full of enthusiasm was he that all caught the spirit, and when the time came for subscriptions all were ready. So far about $2,400 has been subscribed which is sufficient guarantee for the committee to go ahead. The building will be 160 feet long and 60 wide and will be situated on Armstrong Avenue. This will provide a long felt want in the city and will be a means of giving a great deal of time and pleasure to midwinter sport. Another auto … The firm of King & Green have concluded to purchase an automobile for their business. In the minds of everyone the move is a good one. The practice of these two physicians extends over a large territory and often they receive an emergency call from Wardner, Perry Creek, Marysville, Kimberley, Fort Steele and other places. For a long drive horses are slow and a man’s life may depend upon the time a doctor reaches him. With these facts in view the doctors thought that it would be good business to meet this demand and they have sent for a machine that will make good time on long distances.

Feds target housing market speculators Gains exemption, mortgage requirements tightened JEFF NAGEL Black Press
The federal government will make it tougher for speculators to profit tax-free from Canadian real estate investments, while further tightening mortgage qualification rules to help avoid excessive risk in the housing market. The changes announced Monday by Finance Minister Bill Morneau are expected to put further downward pressure on hot housing markets such as Vancouver and Toronto. Homes sold from now on won’t be eligible for the principal residence exemption from capital gains tax if the seller wasn’t a resident of Canada in the year they bought the property. Experts say that should bar foreign investors from using the capital gain exemption and also hit some Canadian citizens who have been abusing the exemption to use real estate as a tax-free investment. The Canada Revenue Agency will now require taxpayers to report the sale of homes for which they are claiming the principal residence exemption. NDP housing critic David Eby predicted the federal rule change could have more effect even than the B.C. government’s recent imposition of a 15 per cent foreign buyer tax on residential real estate sales in Metro Vancouver. “I think there’s a great deal of domestic speculation in the housing market that is totally unaddressed by the foreign buyer tax,” Eby said. “The reason people are putting money into real estate instead of shares of a company is because they can do so capital gains free.” He suggested that with CRA auditors poised to take a harder look at potentially phony claims of the exemption, more real estate investors may shift to different investments. Eby has been among the critics who have flagged cases of homemakers and students buying multi-million-dollar Vancouver-area homes with minimal to no declared annual income. When those individuals sell a million-dollar home and avoid paying tax on a $300,000 capital gain, he suggested, they’ll be prime targets for “lifestyle audits” by the CRA. The new disclosure requirement should also help the CRA unravel cases where multiple family members – mother, father and kids – are each declaring different principal residences to dodge capital gains despite a rule that a family could only declare one such property exempt. Ottawa also unveiled a tightening of rules on mortgage insurance eligibility and a revised mortgage rate stress test that will be applied to all insured mortgages. The revised stress test means more home buyers will have to have sufficient income to meet their mortgage payments not based on the mortgage rate a bank is offering them but based on the Bank of Canada’s posted rate for fixed five-year terms.

DEAR ANNIE by Annie Lane
ALZHEIMER’S LOOMING Dear Annie: My grandfather had severe Alzheimer’s disease. Unfortunately, it lasted for a while. He was fine before he hit 75. Occasionally, he would forget things, but it was not a big deal. As he aged, his memory got worse and his ability to forget things increased. By 80, he was bad. He didn’t know who some of his kids were, and talking to him was painful at best. By 85, he was completely gone. He sang songs like a child. He knew nothing about his own life or his family. Mercifully, he died at 85. His daughter, my mom, is now 65, and I’m worried she is showing signs of the disease. Though my mom knows the name of the utensil you “stab food with” (how my grandfather described a fork at one point), she forgets things. She repeats herself. I find myself sitting and listening to the same stories. I first detected a problem when we were having a Fourth of July barbecue and we sent my mom out to pick up burgers and buns and she came back with ice cream. We were all stunned and concerned. That’s when I knew she needs help. What makes things worse is that when I tell her she’s told me a particular story before, she gets defensive. She has real trouble facing her own mortality. I know that she is relatively young and that there isn’t a lot I can do, but I care and worry about her. Any thoughts on how I should handle this? -Forgotten Daughter Dear Forgotten: You’re wise to be proactive about this. Encourage your mom to set up a doctor’s appointment today. The sooner you seek professional help the sooner the problem can be diagnosed. If she does in fact have Alzheimer’s, early detection will allow you and your family more time to plan for the future. Additionally, there are some treatments that can temporarily lessen the symptoms. Visit the Alzheimer’s Association website, at http://www.alz.org, for more information. Dear Annie: In October 2013, our daughter was married. We gave her a nice wedding, and there were approximately 300 guests. She received many, many nice gifts. She has yet to send out thank-you notes. I have offered on two different occasions to help her, and her response was, “I’ll do them.” I have had guests ask me whether my daughter ever received their gift. I don’t know what to say. What are your suggestions? Is it too late for my daughter to send out thank-you notes now, almost three years later? Should I just drop it and not let it bother me anymore? Thank you for your response. -- Mother Dear Mother: Sadly, I doubt you’re the only mom who’s been in this position. Social niceties are going the way of the dodo and landline telephone these days. Talk to your daughter and her spouse (who is just as much to blame, by the way) about the importance of making this right. Encourage them to set aside an entire day to get the thank-yous done. They may be putting off sending them out at this point because they’re embarrassed about how much time has passed. But it’s better late than never. A nice handwritten thank-you note means a lot in this age of emojis and instant gratification. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Frustrated Grandma,” who constantly gets stuck baby-sitting the grandkids with little appreciation from her son. Brian and Amanda need to take Grandma on the cruise with them or send Grandma on a cruise with Grandpa or a friend to thank her for all that she does each year. -- Jackie in Florida Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@creators.com.

Joseph G. Kershaw 1932 - 2016
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our dear brother Joseph on Thursday, September 29, 2016 at the Kimberley Special Care Home. Joe was born on September 17, 1932 in Rossland, BC and grew up in Kimberley. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed camping and fishing. After completing a steel fabricator apprenticeship in Kimberley with Cominco Joe decided to move to other communities and endeavours. He completed courses in small yacht design, tinsmithing and auto mechanics. Joe was a prolific artist learning the craft from his father, but developed his own style. He was featured in a published book of prominent artists along with other well know BC artists. Landscape painting was his passion in life. He also enjoyed playing the trombone with several local bands. Joe is survived by his sisters Marie Swab (Marshall) of Calgary, AB, Elaine Kershaw of Airdrie, AB, brother Alan Kershaw (Helen) of Quesnel, BC and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister Dorothy Bowen (Ken) of Kimberley, BC, Yvonne Kitt (Ed) of Kimberley, BC, brother John Kershaw (Bertha) of Vancouver, BC, and his parents Gilbert Henry Kershaw and Mary Dorothy Kershaw of Kimberley, BC.

River camping ban defeated BLACK PRESS
Campers who set up on sand bars of scenic B.C. rivers after high water to fish and party were in the crosshairs of some B.C. mayors at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. A motion that would have asked the province to ban camping in active riverbeds was defeated Friday despite the urging of Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer, who said crews each year haul away tonnes of garbage strewn in the sensitive habitat of the Similkameen River. But Telkwa Mayor Darcy Repen said a total ban on river camping would be a huge blow to tourism in northwestern B.C., where large numbers of people camp along the banks of the Skeena River each summer. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz sympathized with Bauer and slammed the messy campers who foul the Chilliwack River. “They leave behind a tremendous amount of trash, things that are absolutely detrimental to our river. We have people driving their trucks into the river,” she said. “The real issue is there are not enough conservation officers, let’s be really frank,” Gaetz said to strong applause. “If we want to have tourism in our communities, let’s get with it province, and let’s be sure we are looked after properly by conservation officers.” Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt also opposed the resolution, saying many people practice proper no-trace camping and shouldn’t be banned. He also suggested a ban might lead to greater risk of erosion, wildfires and other problems if riverbed campers are pushed to higher ground. North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring questioned whether a ban could even be enforced, given court rulings allowing tent cities in city parks.
