Arts Council hosting ManWoman retrospective For the Townsman

A retrospective of the renowned artist ManWoman will be on display at the Cranbrook & District Arts Council’s gallery next week. The exhibit on the late Cranbrook artist and spiritual visionary will run from October 3 to October 31. Opening reception for this exhibit, will be held on Friday, October 7, at 7 pm at 1013 Baker Street, Cranbrook. On hand will be ManWoman’s wife Astarte, who can answer any ques-

tions you may have about ManWoman’s work . The Transcendental Art of ManWoman: Four early periods of Bride, Dragon, the Skull and the Child express the experience of joyous awakening, purification, death and re-birth of child-like innocence. These are the transformative, iconographic symbols which were to represent ManWoman’s direct experience of the divine through near death and out-of-body experiences.

The first of these occurred in 1958 when Patrick Charles Kemball 20, working under his parents’ car modifying it to a hot-rod. He heard a voice that told him to get out from under the vehicle and he narrowly escaped being impaled by a spring as the car suddenly crashed down off its blocks. The experience affected him deeply and he vowed that he would focus his energy on a higher goal and become God’s artist. This was followed by out-of-body experiences which impelled him to quit architecture school and attend the Alberta College of Art in Calgary. Painting became a tool for expressing and transforming his con-

sciousness and his dedication to this practice strengthened over time. Intense and vivid dreams gifted many rich images as well as guidelines for action. As the Bride theme develops and changes, the symbolic union of male and female resolves the deep longing of the bride in complete Oneness. This theme was so profound that the artist legally changed his name to ManWoman in an act of grounding this transcendent state in daily life. He was being called ManWoman in his dreams for at least a year at this point. His portrayal of sexual union celebrates sexuality as a creative part of life in the physical world and on another level, as a metaphor for union with the Absolute. His creative expression influenced his clothing and appearance and as he explored

this feminine aspect, he began wearing robes, earrings, and long hair many years before the trend was popular. Tattoos and the use of swastikas were also images and directives from dreams. As an innovator, ManWoman was often controversial but persistently followed his inner guidance in spite of criticism and opposition. His later works explore themes of non-existent spiritual products to bring happiness, bliss, joy and truth to consumers giving commentary on our materialistic lifestyle with a humorous twist. Others depict moments of ecstasy that spontaneously burst upon our awareness when we remember the divine essence that is in us and all around us. Submitted by Astarte

SD5 board complains of ‘unreasonably’ tight deadlines TREVOR CRAWLEY

School District 5 Board of Education is taking issue with tight deadlines for provincial funding programs through a letter sent to various government representatives, includ-

ing Education Minister Mike Bernier and Premier Christy Clark. According to the letter, written by SD5 board chair Frank Lento, the Board of Education carried a motion highlighting the lack of

time for the board to do their ‘due diligence’ on applying for funding programs that have a Sept. 30 deadline. Lento writes that administration is busy over the summer, as staff are usually away on

Small earthquake felt near Elkford TRE VOR CR AWLEY

A small 2.9 earthquake in the Elk Valley was reported by Natural Resources Canada as the tremor occurred just after 9 p.m. on Wednesday evening. Specifically, the epicentre was pinpointed to be 13 kilometres south-southeast of Elkford. Natural Resources Canada states that the quake was lightly felt in Sparwood and Elkford, however, no dam-

age was reported and none is expected. A small 3.0 Magnitude quake was felt 19 kilometres east of Vernon a week ago with no damage. According to historical data from the NRC, the most recent largest earthquake in the region was reported just across the U.S. border near Sandpoint in 2015 that registered a Magnitude 4.0.

Fast and Furious on Industrial Road No 1 FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Cranbrook RCMP are currently investigating what witnesses call ‘Fast and the Furious’ Cranbrook-style. On Tuesday morning Cranbrook RCMP responded to a call of three vehicles driving erratically on Industrial Rd No 1. The three cars were speeding, weaving in and out and passing on the right hand side. The vehicles continued their careless driving down the strip and up Victoria Avenue. One witness to the driving asked police of they had seen the movie Fast and Furious or The Italian Job. The

witness went on to say that the driving of these young men appeared to them to be replicas of those movies. The witness was able to provide plate numbers and vehicle descriptions and police are continuing to investigate. All three vehicles were registered to out of Province owners. “Driving that carelessly is just a catastrophe waiting to happen,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron. “That route is well travelled by vehicles and pedestrians. One wrong move could have hurt either the drivers of the vehicles, their passengers, or more tragically, an innocent passerby.”

holidays to accommodate the school semester schedule all the while preparing schools for the upcoming semester, overseeing capital projects and conducting financial audits. Once September hits, then SD5 personnel are focusing on welcoming new students,

deadline for monies which the government have recognized as necessary well before the lead-up to or end of summer illustrates a serious lack of planning on the part of the government and is disrespectful of the careful planning and hard work demonstrated by dis-

tricts and staff across the province.” Lento reiterated the Board’s call on the government to provide stable, predictable and adequate funding as recommended by the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services in 2015.

EYE ON YOUR CITY

Aggressive Deer in the Community – In the late fall, male whitetail and mule deer enter into the breeding (or rutting) season. This causes them to be more dominant, agitated and aggressive. They can be observed rubbing shrubs or trees with their antlers, displaying dominance by strutting, circling around and tail flicking. Please remember that a doe with fawns can be just as dangerous. For your own safety, please do not approach deer and give them lots of space when walking your pets. City Hall has been receiving a large amount of phone calls regarding aggressive deer in the community. If you are concerned for your safety or have deer in your neighborhood that are no longer scared of people or pets, please call the RAPP (Report All Poachers and Polluters) Line at 1.877.952.7277. This line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The City can only regulate issues in regards to people feeding deer. For more information on The City of Kimberley Deer Feeding Bylaw No. 2296, 2006 please visit https://kimberley.civicweb.net/Documents/ DocumentList.aspx?ID=457.

Residents may notice discoloration in the water during this process. Please note that this is not a public health concern. The City monitors the quality of the water during this process. Flushing and maintenance operations will be underway during the next several weeks. In the event that cloudy water is experienced, turn on an outside tap (preferred) or your bathtub faucet and run until the water clears up.

Gun amnesty during October will destroy unwanted weapons FOR THE TOWNSMAN

British Columbians can unload old guns, ammunition – any unwanted firearms or weapons – and ensure they never end up in the hands of criminals during a province-wide amnesty Oct. 1-31, 2016. The month-long amnesty will apply to any documented or undocumented firearms and other weapons – including restricted and prohibited ones – that have not been used for a criminal purpose, as well as to any amount of ammunition. Cranbrook RCMP remind interested firearms owners to call their local detachment or their department’s non-emergency line to arrange for officers to attend and retrieve the weapons. Under no cir-

cumstances should anyone deliver them to police. Please contact the Cranbrook Detachment at 250-489-3471. “Please do not attend the Cranbrook Detachment with any weapons,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron. “The Cranbrook RCMP will make arrangements to attend and deal with any weapons that people wish to turn over for destruction.” Firearms and ammunition surrendered during the amnesty will be destroyed. Police also anticipate receiving tips related to other unwanted and unauthorized firearms. The goal of the amnesty program is to ensure the safe disposal of unwanted weapons that a could otherwise land in the hands of criminals, chil-

dren or others. In the past decade, two previous British Columbia firearms amnesties in 2006 and 2013 have yielded more than 5,000 firearms – including 900 handguns and two machine guns – plus approximately 127,500 rounds of ammunition. Among hundreds of other weapons surrendered were a rocket launcher, a military missile, historical rifles and antique bayonets. “We know that firearms, weapons and ammunition are often stolen during break-ins,” said Mike Morris, the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, in a press release. “For those wondering how to safely dispose of their unwanted firearms like that rifle they inherited that is now collecting dust in the basement, this month-long amnesty is the perfect opportunity to keep a potentially deadly weapon or firearm from landing in the wrong hands.”

Two main areas of concern for police continue to be 2nd St S in front of Laurie Middle School and 2nd St N between Western Financial Place and 14th Ave. These two areas are main thoroughfares for commuters going to and from work and school. Cranbrook RCMP has pulled over multiple vehicles in these two areas, and have issued paperwork to the drivers. “Second St. South by Laurie is a congested area with a lot of students and parents in the area. Vehicles travelling through this zone are going well above the 30km/hr zone and endangering the lives of students trying to make it to school,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron. Second St. N. has wider access on the roadways and greater views for motorists, but it is still a 30km/hr zone. Commuters are advised to slow down to the posted speed limit or face fines and possible vehicle impoundments, depending on the speed.

Last outdoor Cranbrook Farmer’s Market Oct. 8 Sub mit ted

The Cranbrook Farmer’s Market will host its last outdoor market on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Rotary Park, downtown Cranbrook. Just in time for Thanksgiving, market vendors will be bringing the best the season has to offer – from produce to canned goods, crafts to creations, treasures to treats, as well as lovingly-crafted beauty products and wears. Plus, catch a special performance by local talent Dawson Rutledge from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Everyone is very excited. Vendors will be situated in the midst of Rotary Park, which is a beautiful sight right now with its rapidly-changing colours.” More than 120 vendors participated in the Cranbrook Farmer’s

Market over the summer and fall seasons. The market is a significant economic player in the local economy, injecting nearly $1 million annually into the area. “Almost every weekend we were max vendor capacity,” said Lara. “Shoppers showed up rain or shine to purchase fresh, local food and quality crafts. The atmosphere was joyous, and there was an underlying sense of community among those who wandered about. Truly, there was something to be enjoyed by everyone.” The Cranbrook

It’s the microphone’s fault! Sad!

emember back in the day when Premier Danny Williams of Newfoundland used to get under Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s skin by calling him Steve? This week, Hillary Clinton employed that same tactic in the first presidential debate, refusing to call the Trumpmeister anything but ‘Donald’. And it appeared to rattle him. At least something had him sniffing and guzzling water like a camel with a leaky hump. It is hard to find a pundit who will say that Trump won the debate, although Fox News did report that “online polls” suggest Trump won. However, when most online polls are so easy to manipulate through multiple voting, it’s hard to give them the same weight as the more scientific. Trump also claimed the next day that he won the CBS News post-debate poll. But then CBS News tweeted that they actually did not conduct a poll… so yay, Donald? But c’mon! He lost. Almost every reputable pundit, Republican and Democrat agreed. In Monday’s debate, Trump managed to say that lurking like a vulture in 2008 to pick the bones of those destroyed by the house crisis was ‘good business’. That not paying taxes is ‘smart’. That firing at Iranian ships would not start a war. That Rosie O’Donnell ‘deserved’ being called a pig. That President Obama should thank him for pushing on the birther issue. That he did not say that climate change was made up by the Chinese — when there is Twitter evidence to prove that he did say that.

The list of typical Trump cow droppings was legendary, but as has proven to be the case this very strange election cycle, it is hardly likely to matter. If nothing else, the American people have become pretty inured to Trump’s “semi-exact” (lying) statements. But the overwhelming take I got from all this is — what incredible arrogance, what hubris! Not to go out and lie blatantly like that and expect it not to matter to the 80 million viewers, Carolyn but to go into a debate in front of said viewers so Grant woefully unprepared. Trump’s campaign had said before the debate that he was unprepared, perhaps thinking they could lower a bar already at ground level to subterranean depths. They got it right. He was completely unprepared. Because he thought he could wing it like he does at his rallies. The trouble is, at his rallies Trump can string a fairly incoherent bunch of syllables together and as long as he hits his key words, like ‘illegal criminal immigrants’, ‘radical Islamic terrorists’ and ‘the wall’, his followers eat it up. And he feeds off the energy. But going into a setting where the studio audience has been instructed to be quiet — though the very audible laugh when Trump said his temperament made him a good choice for president broke that rule — means you can’t feed off the crowd. And every word is heard, not drowned out by supportive screams.

Letters to the Editor

So people heard him very clearly when he rambled and dodged and evaded. But his biggest mistake was walking into a debate with a candidate who had been preparing for weeks, and scoffing at her for that. One of Clinton’s better lines was, yes I prepared for the debate, and I’m prepared to be president. Unsaid, but deeply implied was the ‘unlike you’. What kind of ego does it take to think that you can debate off the cuff and win? A yooge one to be sure. Because if Trump proved nothing else, he proved that winging it is scary. And brought up the valid question, what if he wings it as president? And Clinton played her part. She wasn’t dazzling, but she obviously had studied what would get under Donald’s skin — questioning his wealth, his tendency to refuse to pay contractors, his refusal to release his tax returns. The longer the debate went, the more unappealing Trump’s behaviour became. He was constantly interrupting and was finally reduced to yelling ‘wrong!’. Then, after the debacle was over, he blamed a faulty microphone. People are saying it’s a conspiracy, sad. And then said, predictably, that the moderator, Lester Holt, was obviously leaning to Hillary. Well, there you go. It’s not his fault. And the next day he insisted he won. I’m betting he finds a reason to cancel the next debate. Really, we’d all be winners, cuz who wants to watch that again? Carolyn Grant is Editor of the Kimberley Bulletin

Letters to the Editor World Homelessness Day

Join us in recognizing World Homelessness Day on Monday, October 10, 2016. Okay, okay so you’re probably thinking, “Oh no not another day of recognition!” Or perhaps that inner voice is saying, “Why should I care?” “How does this even affect me, my family or someone I care about?”. Well what if I were to tell you that there are a lot of people right here in Cranbrook that are hurting, hungry, homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Now you may be thinking this doesn’t concern you or anyone you know but you may be wrong. Because as we all know life happens, right? All of us are vulnerable to unexpected events and changes in our circumstances that can leave us unable to provide for ourselves financially. Still think it’s not your problem? Homelessness can be as close as a few missed pay cheques, a serious illness or injury or even the death of a loved one. Yes I could go on and on and on. So, if you or someone you know has ever experienced a rough patch in life, you know what I’m talking about. So now that you know why this concerns you let me tell you about World Homelessness Day and what you can do to make an actual difference right here in Cranbrook. The purpose of World Homelessness Day is to provide an opportunity to draw attention to the plight of the homeless across the world as well as right here in our community of Cranbrook. The goal of World Homelessness Day is to raise awareness of the issues that people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness are faced with every day and to encourage communities to get involved in responding to homelessness. So what can you do to help? You can volunteer your time, donate to local organizations, learn more about homelessness and share what you learn with others. You can encourage politicians here in Cranbrook to support local initiatives as well as existing programs that help the homeless. You can support more affordable housing options locally. You can lobby your provincial and federal governments to do the same. So yes it does affect you. And yes you can make a difference! Do you want to do something practical that makes a local impact? If so contact Erin or Tracy at the Homeless Outreach and Prevention Program at 778-517-5355 to find out more.

The original weir at Idlewild Lake, built in 1931, slated for replacement.

Information sought: Original Fish Hatchery, original Lower Dam

The Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and the supported agencies of United Way East Kootenay wish to thank Cranbrook City Council and the 130 businesses and organizations who supported this year’s parking meter sign sales and/or donated items for the Silent Auction. Thanks also to the Youth Impact Youth Center for manning the barbeque, great job! Parking meter sign sales were down slightly this year but we are confident many businesses unable to support us this year will next year. This is the only fundraiser held by our United Way and is absolute proof of what can be accomplished when many get involved and play a part. Special thanks to our Event Associates, who worked at contacting businesses and arranged pick-ups; Fredrick, whom we will miss; and Summer who carried everything forward remarkably.

I’m wondering if any of yourTownsman readers can provide me with some further information. As someone who works in the Cranbrook History Centre I am most interested in following the present ongoing refurbishing of the Idlewild dam and weir. I have done a certain amount of research into the original building of this dam in 1931 and how it replaced a previous dam, the remnant of which can be seen some 100 metres downstream. RUN TIL END OF APRIL - STOP FOR In 1949, when the City began to chlorinate its water, CranSUMMER - THEN RESTART the SEPT.6TH brook and District Rod and Gun Club was forced to move its fish hatchery facilities from what is now the Girl Guides’ Hall to a new location. A level area between the old and new dams was chosen and this hatchery was supplied with water drawn by pipe over the top of the present Idlewild dam while the lake served as the reservoir for Cranbrook’s water supply. Over the next nine years, and under the auspices of E. T. Cooper and J. W. Bayley, the hatchery raised and distributed millions of fingerlings and fry to the surrounding lakes. It was said that “this hatchery is the Alma Mater of the majority of sports fish being caught in the various lakes of the east Kootenay.” This hatchery between the dams was closed in 1958 due to a death of some 790,000 of the fingerlings due to warm water and an algal bloom in the City reservoir. This closure proved to be permanent. The removal of the hatchery building was put out to tender by the City in 1968. Now back to how your readers could help me. I’m wondering if there are any photos of this fish hatchery and the original lower dam in any of your readers’ collections? Does anyone have recollections of the hatchery when it was operating? If there are any people who could add to my knowledge of these structures I’d love to hear from them. I can be contacted by phone at 250-426-8739 or by email at dhumph@telus.net

Some B.C. towns not high on pot stores To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

In Nelson there are now a half a dozen marijuana stores, one next to a taco restaurant and another conveniently located beside an auto body shop. Nelson city manager Kevin Cormack got laughs from his audience with his description of the long-standing acceptance of pot use in the laid-back Kootenay community of 10,000 people. He spoke to a forum at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria, describing a downtown with more bead shops than bars. But not everyone was laughing. Merritt city manager Shawn Boven outlined council’s response when a self-pro-

claimed medical pot dispensary opened its doors this summer, its owners saying they don’t need a business licence for a “compassion club.” Merritt’s bylaw officer started issuing daily $100 violation tickets, and municipal staff called a meeting with the local RCMP to see what they would do. Five officers turned out and said they would need a couple of weeks to investigate. They would also need legal advice, although everyone agrees retail pot sales remain illegal until next year when the Justin Trudeau government has promised to legalize and regulate it. Nelson Mayor Deb Kozak clarified that her administration isn’t ignoring dispensaries, where medicines with names such

as “Shark Shock” are sold and one store features a poster mocking police. Schools and minors are protected and two stores have been shut down, Kozak said. Fernie Coun. Jon Levesque said his council isn’t permitting stores until Ottawa sorts out its new regulations, and asked what other communities would suggest to get ready. Advice included determining whether tourist areas should be allowed, what should be charged for a business licence ($5,000 a year is the consensus) and what if any zoning should be established. Just because a product is legal doesn’t mean a community has to accommodate the business, the forum was told.

COLLEGE OF THE ROCKIES

Avs warm up in Red Deer BRAD MCLEOD

The College of the Rockies women’s volleyball team are headed north today to play in four preseason games at the Wild Rose Classic in Red Deer, Alberta. The Avalanche, who kick off their regular season in two weeks, will take on the Ambrose Lions and the Lethbridge College Kodiaks this afternoon, before closing out their preseason against Red Deer and Augustana on Saturday.

COIN BLITZ and

Coach John Swanson is excited for the tournament and thinks that it will be a good chance to see what this year’s team is made of, and potentially get a preview of what’s to come if they can repeat as conference champions. “The Red Deer tournament is good for us because [we play] teams are from the ACAC [so] we’ll get a look and see what kind of talent they have if we are fortunate [enough] to get back into nationals,” Swanson said. “But the other thing too is, it allows us to play some teams that we wouldn’t normally play […] which is kind of nice because when you

play the same team over and over, it can get a bit stale.” Swanson said that the tournament will provide quality competition and the Avs will be squaring off against some very strong teams, which should get them ready for the regular season. The Avs open their defence of the PacWest title on the road at Camosun College, where they play on October 13 and 14. They then head to Vancouver Island University on October 15 and 16, before finally returning for their home opener on Friday, October 28 where they’ll host Douglas College.

at full capacity — 25 skaters — when Stuart learned that defencemen Devon Langelaar (‘97) and Tyler Van Steinburg (‘98) were returning to the team, joining recently re-acquired George Bertoia (‘98) on the back end. “George and Tyler were big contributors to the team last year [and] Langelaar improved as the year went on,” Stuart said. “We are looking for big things from all three of them [and] George has already made his presence known in the past two games that he has played.” The Dynamiters sent forward Donte Nowell (‘98) and defenceman Connor Sullivan (‘98) to the Grand Forks Border Bruins (3-2-1-0) for future considerations to make room. This left Caymen Froude (‘99) as a ninth defenseman on the depth chart, and for the betterment of his development he was returned to his midget club: the Sunshine Coast Blues. “It’s very tough, it’s the not fun part of my job, moving kids like that,” Stuart said. “Definitely not a fun time — these were out of my control — the players came back [and] I had to make some room.” Despite all the roster moves, the Nitros still had a game to play against the Golden Rockets. The Dynamiters were able to carry over their energy from

their third period win on Saturday against Golden and Franco Colapaolo opened the scoring at the nine-minute mark. The Dynamiters had an excellent start to the game, as Nicholas Ketola and Colapoala added two more goals during the second, taking a 3-0 lead after the first 40 minutes. Stuart was really happy with the team’s performance in the first two periods. “We started out great, it was our best first period of the season [and] in the second, we stepped it up another level. We controlled the play and the puck possession.” However, injuries, complacency, and misconducts began taking their toll in the final frame. The Nitros were down to nine forwards and four defencemen in the third period, with forward James Farmer forced to play defence. “The third period was our worst period of the game,” Stuart said. “I attribute part of that to a little bit of fatigue and a little bit of complacency with a 3-0 lead and outshooting them. “I think the guys took their foot off the pedal, which is something we can’t do. We ended up shutting the door when it mattered most in the last three minutes and got another win.” Colapaolo scored the insurance marker in the final minute — his hattrick goal — as the Dynamiters downed the

Rockets 4-2. “[Colapaolo] was great. He was our hardest working forward [and] he got rewarded for his actions,” Stuart said. “That is what we have been stressing here with the team complacency — focusing on your actions and you will get good results. And he was definitely a benefactor of that.” Mitch Traichevich started in goal and made 20 saves for his fourth win of the season. The Dynamiters now shift their focus to Saturday when they face the league leading, undefeated Creston Valley Thunder Cats (6-0-0-0). “We will start looking at some film and start preparing for Creston. I don’t think we will have to do too much motivating within the dressing room. They are undefeated and the heavy favourites coming in Saturday. Our guys are pretty hungry.” Saturday’s game starts at 7pm at the Kimberley Civic Centre. MATCH STICKS: Langelaar and Van Steinburg are expected to make their returning debuts Saturday. The injury bug has also hit the Nitros: Van Den Busch (day-to-day), Kendall (2-3 weeks), Salverda (3-5 weeks). For up-to-date Kimberley Dynamiter information visit: www.kimberleydynamiters.net/ blog.

TAYLOR ROCCA PHOTO

Kootenay forward Jared Legien stands in front of the Lethbridge net during a game last season.

Ice coach forecasts challenging weekend Hurricanes and Blades to provide formidable test, Luke Pierce predicts BRAD MCLEOD

On Tuesday afternoon, the Kootenay Ice took a day off their regular practice routine to play a round at Wildstone golf course in southern Cranbrook. The outing was great for team-building and morale, and there wasn’t much for the players to worry about except maybe the wind blowing their tee shots off target. Tonight, they’ll be back indoors — in an ice rink — and have Hurricanes to deal with. As last season’s Central Division champions, the Lethbridge Hurricanes are a force to be reckoned with and the Ice have the pleasure of visiting them at their home arena, where they will be at fullstrength for the first time this season. After starting their season by splitting a home-and-home series with the Medicine Hat Tigers, the ‘Canes have once again been gifted with the services of team leaders Brayden Burke and Tyler Wong, who were both recently re-assigned after getting opportunities at NHL training camps. “[The game against Lethbridge] will be our first real look at one of

the powerhouses of our division,” said Ice coach Luke Pierce, whose team lost two tight games to a depleted Calgary Hitmen squad in extra time last weekend. “They play with a lot of speed and they’re a physical group as well, so it will be a challenge for sure. “I think [it will be] a whole other level from what we saw last weekend and we’re going to have to be at our best.” Even without Burke and Wong, who were respectively the third and tenth top point producers in the WHL last year, the Hurricanes have already put up a healthy seven goals in their opening two games. Pierce, however, doesn’t envision a high scoring contest tonight. “We can’t make it a 7-6 game, that probably wouldn’t go in our favour,” Pierce said. “We have to be real sharp on the other side of the puck and we’re going to need another strong effort from Payton [Lee].” Besides their ability to pile up goals, the Hurricanes have also shown this year that they can rack up penalty minutes, especially fighting majors. In their

first two games, Lethbridge has already collected 64 penalty minutes and been involved in 6 fights. The Ice had a 1-6-00 record against Lethbridge last season, with the Hurricanes putting up 34 goals to the Ice’s 10. Despite being an easier contest on paper, Pierce doesn’t see the Ice’s return home on Saturday against the Saskatoon Blades, as a cakewalk by any means either. “[The Blades] are a hard-working group, they’ve got a new coach, I know [new Blades coach] Dean [Brockman] well […] and he demands their work ethic,” Pierce said. “[We’ve] struggled with them in the last few seasons ... but it’ll be a good test for our group.” Besides the change at the coaching helm, the Blades will also look different up front with their top three scorers from last season out of the lineup. Connor Gay and Nick Zajac both aged out of the league this offseason, and Cameron Hebig is still recovering from an upper body injury. The Ice went 0-3-10 against the Blades in 2015-16. Their last

win against Saskatoon was on February 28, 2014. Pierce expects Payton Lee to start in net against Lethbridge on Friday and backup Declan Hobbs to be between the pipes at home on Saturday. He also indicated that rookie Jakob Walter will see some game action soon, as the club still has to trim their roster to two goalies in the next two weeks. After recharging their batteries on the links this week, the Ice now have to focus their energy back to the rink. They’re in for a big challenge, and it’s safe to say that this weekend will not be a breeze.

At 3:14 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, the final bell rang at Mount Baker Secondary signalling the end of the day. For the boys of the Wild soccer team however, they were just getting started. Cranbrook’s Senior Boys high school soccer squad played two home games this week, both on September 28th, tying Nelson’s L V Rogers Secondary Bombers 0-0 and defeating Invermere’s David Thompson Secondary Lakers 2-1. The action started shortly after 2:30 p.m. with the Wild’s game against the Bombers. It was a tight match and ended in a scoreless draw. Goalkeeper Jovan Klassen earned a clean sheet for his efforts. After being allowed a quick breather while the Bombers and Lakers did battle, the Mount Baker boys were back on the pitch just after 5:30 p.m. to play a significantly less rested Lakers squad. Perhaps partially due to their opponent’s fatigue, the Wild dominated the first half and quickly got on the scoreboard. Caleb Creber put in the first goal, gaining control of the ball just outside of the 18-yard box and making a spectacular run before sliding the ball under the keeper to pick the opposite bottom corner. Just minutes later, Dakota Rowan doubled the lead with a long shot that sailed into the same spot. The game ended in a 2-1 Wild victory. “We looked good out there [but] we’re still working some things out,” said head coach Will Burgess after

both games had ended. Although, as the only AAA representative in the area, Mount Baker receives automatic entry into the BC Provincial Championships, Burgess still says the team has a goal to be competitive once they get there at the end of November. “Last year we were able to finish twelfth at provincials, so this year we’re hoping for a top 10 finish.” So far, the team has been sharp in regional

play. In last week’s opening matches in Trail, BC the Wild beat the Bombers and the host J. Lloyd Crowe Secondary Hawks — each by a score of 3-0. The Wild’s regular season record now stands at 3-0-1. The Wild hope to continue their undefeated streak into the weekend when they travel to Invermere to once again face off against the Lakers and the Golden Secondary Eagles on Friday, September 30.

Cranbrook Community Theatre

Theatre season debuts new season with ‘Lucy’ It’s a season of drama at the Cranbrook Community Theatre (CCT) and it’s getting started with the bold and intense production “Lucy” by Canadian playwright Damien Atkins. Filled with symbolism and

emotion, “Lucy” tells the story of a family divided when it comes to raising a daughter with autism. The show stars Kelsey Thompson as title character “Lucy”, a 13-year-old girl diagnosed with autism. The

role intrigued Thompson as she was also diagnosed with autism when she was 4-yearsold. “Really looking at this play and at this character Lucy, I felt like I was looking at myself. This was me…this was me as a child,” explains Thompson. Thompson may be a rookie to CCT but she is no stranger to the stage, having recently performed in Mount Baker Secondary’s production of “Mary Poppins” back

in May. Director Trevor Lundy, who is old friends with playwright Atkins, has worked hard to showcase the emotion in the production. “I was terrified about not doing the show justice…but it spoke to me as a story of a mother and a daughter and, as a parent, feeling that you’re not good enough,” says Lundy. “Being able to look at it from that point of view and build that relationship.”]

This is the second play Lundy has directed for CCT and he is hoping it will go on to both the Regional Kootenay Drama festival and Provincial Drama festival next year. Returning CCT actors Michael Prestwich and Tracy McGuire take on the roles of Lucy’s father and estranged mother, respectively. The cast also includes CCT veterans Ashlee Perrault and Dean Nicholson. The play runs Octo-

ber 7th, 8th, 12th to the 15th, and 19th to the 22nd at the Studio Stage Door. Tickets are $15 for members, $18 for non-members with a

$10 student night on October 12th (ID needed). Tickets can be purchased in advance at Lotus Books or day-of at the Stage Door.

Blessing Creation and its Creatures

bout eight hundred years ago, a man named Francesco di Bernardone lived out the kind of image of Jesus which I’ve been sketching out in the last month. He refused to believe that being a follower of Jesus would have anything to do with wealth or success. He was born into the family of a wealthy cloth merchant, he renounced the wealth and prestige of his family at the age of 25 to embrace a lifestyle of simplicity, poverty, and grace. His father couldn’t understand it. He took his son to the town magistrates, complaining that Francesco was disregarding his responsibilities. The son agreed with his father and renounced all claims on his family. In front of the court, he stripped naked, placed his clothes at his father’s feet and said that from then on, God would be his father. He declared himself “wedded to Lady Poverty”, renounced all material possessions, and devot-

Yme Woensdregt ed himself to serving the poor. We know him better now as St. Francis of Assisi. From that time forward, Francis saw his life’s work as waking people up so that they would focus on the pure and simple gospel and follow Jesus simply. Francis took literally the words in Matthew’s gospel, “Preach as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.’ … You have received the Gospel without payment, give it to others as freely. Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, no spare garment, nor sandals, nor staff.” (Matthew 10: 7–10)

He and his companions would have no money and no property, individually or collectively. Their task was to “proclaim the good news, using words if necessary,” and declaring in word and action the love of God in Christ. Francis of Assisi had a profound respect for all life, experiencing all of God’s creation as sacred. In the early 13th century, the traditional religious way to seek God was to turn inward. Those following a religious path would live in a monastery or a cloister, seeking to transcend this world and spend their lives in contemplating God. Francis chose a different route. Instead of turning inwards, he turned outwards. The world was shot through with God’s glory. Francis discovered God’s presence and love everywhere he looked. God was to be found in the midst of this world, in the everyday moments of life, in the midst of a bountiful and wonderfully varied creation.

Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy by Jusepe de Ribera, (1639) Rather than fleeing the world to find God, God is to be found right here, in the physical, material world. The paradox of Francis’ life is that although he gave up material possessions, he valued the material things of the earth more completely. He treasured people who worked with their

hands — farmers, craftspeople, artists, bakers — and he valued the fruit of their hands. He esteemed material things not as having intrinsic worth in and of themselves, but because they displayed the immense variety and wonder of God’s creative imagination. Francis had a re-

markable belief in the universal ability and duty of all creatures to praise God. His famous Canticle of the Creatures includes the words, “All praise be yours, my Lord, through Brother Sun … Sister Moon and Stars … Brothers Wind and Air … Sister Water …

Brother Fire … Sister Earth … Sister Death. All praise be yours, my Lord, through all that you have made. Happy those who endure in peace.” Many of the stories that surround St. Francis deal with his love for animals. He died on October 4, 1226. That became the feast day for this saint, since that was the day he was born into glory. We will celebrate St Francis at Christ Church Anglican this Sunday. We invite you to join us on Sunday, October 2, at 2 pm for a blessing of the animals. Bring your animals and pets with you to church that afternoon for a special blessing. In the spirit of Francis, who called the animals his brothers and sisters, we celebrate the goodness of God, who calls us to live in peace with all creatures, and indeed with the whole of creation, treasuring it as God’s wonderful gift to us. Yme Woensdregt is Pastor at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook

B.C. Greens to shun union and corporate donations Jeff Nagel Black Press

The B.C. Green Party will forgo corporate and union donations from now on even though the move may put it at a financial disadvantage against the BC Liberals and New Democrats as next spring’s provincial election nears. Green leader Andrew Weaver announced the decision in his speech at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria Wednesday and called on the other parties to likewise end the role of “big money” in politics to rebuild public trust. “Political parties and their MLAs should not be reduced to puppets controlled by corporate or union puppet masters, with a firm grip on the purse strings,” Weaver said, accusing the Liberals of refusing to pass reforms and the NDP of refusing to act unilaterally. He suggested political donations can taint policy positions on an issue like the Mount Polley mine disaster. “The corporation that operates the mine is a substantial donor to the BC Liberals,” Weaver said. “The union representing the workers at the mine is a substantial donor to the B.C. NDP. Whose interests are being served? Who is there to represent the people of British Columbia?” Groups supporting reform have long advocated an end to corporate and union contributions at the provincial level. Weaver said the Greens’ refusal to accept corporate and union donations takes effect immediately but previous donations won’t be returned. It’s unclear how much of an impact it will have on the party coffers as most financial support has so far come from individuals. Union and corporate donations made up 15 per cent of B.C. Green donations in 2014 and three per cent in 2015.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might choose to defer to someone else and test out his or her idea. You’ll want more information before you head down this person’s chosen course. Ask and you shall receive. Optimism surrounds the idea, which will convince you to give it a try. Tonight: Be near music. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An offer seems too good to be true, but you’ll still be interested. Ask yourself if you can afford the losses if the idea flounders before you put your John Hancock on any agreements. You can relax and watch what occurs with amusement. Tonight: You make the impossible happen. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Tap into your resourcefulness for solutions. You might want to do something very different. As the day goes on, you’ll gain momentum. Opt for a new beginning with a loved one, and you will be happy with your decision. Tonight: Add more spice to the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll want to be more in touch with what a partner wants. In fact, it is quite clear that this person will let you know what is happening with him or her. Let a loved one clear the air rather than rant all day. You have the potential for a new beginning. Tonight: Happiest at home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your determination to get the job done marks your plans. How you see a personal matter could change radically, mainly because your focus will be on other matters. When you slow down and take a step back, you’ll see the situation differently. Tonight: Hang out with friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll feel as if things are going your way. Make sure that funds don’t flow out of your checking account too quickly. You might feel pushed to take a risk. You’ll have an opportunity to create greater financial stability if you can say “no” more often! Tonight: Make it your treat. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Opportunities to make some dynamic changes could emerge.

Tundra

Maximize the moment. Good luck heads your way and allows you to make a much-needed change. Deal with a domestic matter now. Tonight: Invite others to join you, especially an important loved one. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your instincts might tell you that everything is OK. Stay centered, and do what you must. If you have a strong feeling about a difficult situation, postpone any actions until later in the day. How you feel in the morning will be very different by the evening. Tonight: You choose. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Discussions might be more significant than you realize. An argument that takes place in the morning could be quite difficult to patch up. Don’t dwell on this matter; instead, use a more relaxed period later in the day for a discussion. Tonight: Celebrate the weekend with friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be more direct in how you register a complaint or respond to an authority figure. Words said now might be difficult to take back. How you handle this touchy

Earth is warmest it’s been in 100,000 years Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON - A new study paints a picture of an Earth that is warmer than it has been in about 120,000 years, and is locked into eventually hitting its hottest mark in more than 2 million years. As part of her doctoral dissertation at Stanford University, Carolyn Snyder , now a climate policy official at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, created a continuous 2 million year temperature record, much longer than a previous 22,000 year record. Snyder’s temperature reconstruction, published Monday in the journal Nature , doesn’t estimate temperature for a single year, but averages 5,000-year time periods going back a couple million years. Snyder based her reconstruction on 61 different sea surface temperature proxies from across the globe, such as ratios between magnesium and calcium, species makeup and acidity. But the further the study goes back in time, especially after half a million years, the fewer of those proxies are available, making the estimates less certain, she said. These are rough estimates with large margins of errors, she said. But she also found that the temperature changes correlated well to carbon dioxide levels. Temperatures averaged out over the most recent 5,000 years - which includes the last 125 years or so of industrial emissions of heat-trapping gases - are generally warmer than they have been since about 120,000 years ago or so, Snyder found. And two interglacial time periods, the one 120,000 years ago and another just about 2 million years ago, were the warmest Snyder tracked. They were about 3.6 degrees (2 degrees Celsius) warmer than the current 5,000-year average. With the link to carbon dioxide levels and taking into account other factors and past trends, Snyder calculated how much warming can be expected in the future. Snyder said if climate factors are the same as in the past - and that’s a big if - Earth is already committed to another 7 degrees or so (about 4 degrees Celsius) of warming over the next few thousand years. “This is based on what happened in the past,” Snyder said. “In the past it wasn’t humans messing with the atmosphere.” Scientists give various reasons for past changes in carbon dioxide and heat levels, including regular slight shifts in Earth’s orbital tilt.

Dear Annie by Annie Lane

everything’s changing, but what’s the big deal! Dear Annie: After 24 years of marriage, my husband wants to split up. I have had health issues for a few years, and now he says he is tired of dealing with them. We have been living with his parents and our three kids for about a year and a half. I have been given a deadline to move out -- alone. Everyone else is welcome to stay. I have been trying to find a place I can afford while staying near my elderly father. Moving in with him is not an option. I may have found a room in a house and am going to check it out tomorrow. Suddenly, reality is hitting me. I won’t see my kids every day. I won’t have my cats, who are 9 and 13, because I can’t find a place that allows pets. I have been crying all day. I’m trying to keep busy packing, but every time I see my cats, it starts up again. I have a psychiatrist, as well as a counselor. I don’t have time to see them before I have to leave but plan to make appointments soon after I move. No one in my family is acting as if this major life change is a big deal. I’m just looking for some validation. -- Crushed in California Dear Crushed: You have 100 percent of my validation and then some. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I would encourage you to keep looking for a place that allows pets. They can be so therapeutic. It’s especially important to take care of yourself during a major life trauma such as this, so I’m glad to hear you have a plan in place to see your doctor and therapist. It sounds as if you are taking all the right steps to build a healthier, happier life. Just give it time. Dear Annie: I now have had two occurrences in two years in which my husband and I were invited to a family event at the very last minute. We were invited to a wedding three days in advance and a significant birthday party 1 1/2 days in advance. These invitations were from two women in my extended family, both of whom are in their late 20s. And in both instances, the women used email to ask whether we’d be attending. My husband and I didn’t go to the wedding or the birthday party. I am upset but don’t know whether I am being selfish for resenting that I would have had to run out and get a card and gift for an event we were invited to at the last minute. I feel like leftover lunch from two days ago. We are in our 50s. Is this the new way of doing things? Should we be more flexible and get with the program? -Upset by These Little Things Dear Upset: Though your adaptability is admirable, you don’t need to get with the program if it means leaving behind all expectations of common courtesy. It is becoming more commonplace for budget-conscious couples to have “standby” guest lists. It’s not ideal, etiquettewise, but the tactic isn’t so offensive if done so discreetly that people don’t even realize they were on the B-list. But inviting someone to your wedding three days before it happens? That’s a faux pas in the first degree. If you feel comfortable, perhaps ask each woman individually -- without a smidgen of accusation in your tone -- whether there was a reason the invitation came so late. Each one may have a perfectly reasonable answer; you never know. But it’s probable that neither will, and your question will at least prompt both of them to think of being more courteous next time.

In Memoriam

ROBERT (ROB) SCOTT TAIT September 10th, 1975 – October 1st, 2014

“SON” is such a special word a word that brings to mind, a big warm smile, a helping hand a way of being kind, devotion to his family a word of patience too “SON” is such a special word Because it stands for “YOU”. What we’d give if we could say Hello ROB, in the same old way; To hear your voice, to see your smile, To sit with you and chat awhile. It’s been two years since you went away But only feels like two minutes, each and every day. We hold you tightly within our hearts, and there you will remain until that happy day arrives when we can all be together again. Missing you ROBERT and love you always. Mom (Lynda), Dad (Cam), Wayne, Kris, Sheri and Paige.

IN LOVING MEMORY

John Wayne Trinder

November 19, 1940 - October 3, 2014 Though your smile is gone forever And your hand we cannot touch, Still we have so many memories Of the one we loved so much. Our memory is the keepsake With which we will never part. God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts. It is sad to walk the road alone Instead of side by side. But to all there comes a moment When the ways of life divide. You gave us years of happiness, Then came the sorrow and tears, But you left us beautiful memories We will treasure through the years. Your memories are our precious keepsakes. We love you and miss you, Lindis, Cori, Terri, Mark, Rylee, Carly & Sydney

Obituaries

Vander Maaten, Joan August 24, 1954 Kimberley, BC September 25, 2016 Calgary, AB Joan was the greatest mother anyone could have hoped for. Her dedication to family was exemplary as she never hesitated to help any family member when she was able, always available to lend support to those she loved. Joan stayed in contact with her extended family and she ensured that her siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews were only a call or a message away. A great joy for Joan was reconnecting with family that she had been separated from for long periods of time. Everyone was welcomed into Joan’s home for visits or dinner as her greatest happiness came when she was surrounded by all of her family. She loved holidays as family would gather together. At any opportunity Joan would try and get the family together at family reunions or just to go out for dinner on special occasions. Joan was always ready to have dinner at her home for anyone who came into town. New experiences interested Joan as she was always ready to try new things. Her travels gave her experiences she eagerly shared with others. Joan was also generous. She would use her talents in quilting and craft making to give people something she thought they would enjoy. Joan shared her world with those who knew her. We will always have a piece of our heart missing without her and she will be missed greatly by all who knew her. Joan will be forever loved and remembered by her sons Michael (Rose-Mary) Gordon and Daryn Gordon (Katia Demo); grandson James Gordon; father Stien Vander Maaten (Donna); brothers Calvin Vander Maaten, Steven (Linda) Vander Maaten, Van (Judy) Vander Maaten; Martin (Dori) Vander Maaten; sister Joann (Merv) Abdai; as well as numerous nieces and nephews that she loved. Joan was predeceased by her mother Edna Vander Maaten and her sister Judy Banman. A private memorial service will be held. To view and share photos, condolences and stories of Joan, please visit www.choicememorial.com.

Marian Bert Sims 1928 – 2016 It is with deep sadness that the family of Marian Bert Sims announces her passing at Joseph Creek Care Village in Cranbrook on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at the age of 88 years. Marian was born on March 2, 1928 in Penticton, BC. Marian was a very talented and adventurous lady. She spent many hours on Lake Koocanusa exploring in her canoe, cruising along the beaches and picking rocks as she went. Not only did she love to pick rocks, she loved to paint them too. Marian spent hours creating arts and crafts from the treasures she found. All of her grandchildren, and any other children that were around, have fond memories of the rock painting and driftwood collecting at the lake. Another love for Marion was her quilting and sewing. So many beautiful quilts were made and given away and are now keepsakes for all of us. At Christmas time one could always look forward to a new hand-made wall hanging or another of her marvelous craft creation including her hundreds of Angels made from old jewelery. In whatever spare time she had in her day, she enjoyed her huge garden and took pride in its harvest. She will be missed by all of us very much, especially Kellee her beloved daughter-in-law who lovingly helped care for her. She will be greatly missed by her children, Harvey, Dave, Charlie, Raymond (Loretta) and Marthel. As well, her 9 grandchildren and her 14 great-grandchildren will miss her loving and kind ways. While Marian’s memory began to fade in her later years, she would always light up when she had a loving family member visit her. We are all grateful that she got to enjoy so much time with her great-grandkids in the last few years. Anyone who knew Marian knows that she loved any time spent with kids and all those years as a Kindergarten teacher showed each time she sat to read with her “kids”. Marian will also be greatly missed by her two sisters; Eunice and Shirley; her sister-in-law Cindy; and her brother-in-law Roy. Marian was predeceased by her husband Percy and her sister Ginny. A Memorial Service will be held for Marian on Saturday, October 22nd, 2016 at 2:00 pm in the South Country Church on Highway 3 at the junction of the Jaffray Loop Road. Reception will follow. Condolences may be left for the family at www.markmemorial.com. Mark Memorial Funeral Services in care of arrangements (250) 426-4864

An astasi a Bartl e t t

hen I was a kid, one of the more popular brands of soap was advertised as â&#x20AC;&#x153;99 and 44/100% pureâ&#x20AC;? which at first glance seemed rather impressive, (though it never said pure what). But when you think about it, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; means unadulterated with anything else, so anything less than 100% automatically stops being pure. So what did Jesus mean when he used the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pure in heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;? My Bibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commentary says it refers to someone who is completely devoted to the service and worship of God. If so, then I definitely do not fall into the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pure in heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; category. The beatitudes all seem to speak of perfection, being pure, a peacemaker, being meek or merciful, things which I could only hope to achieve in heaven and certainly seem unattainable in my life. The Orthodox Church has taught me otherwise. Oh, not that I am close to perfection, far from it. I am, as the church confesses every Liturgy, the chief among sinners. No, aside from being a hospital for sinners with the intention of leading every member to a cure, what the Orthodox Church has shown me are examples of people throughout history who have achieved the standards of the beatitudes while still living in this world. The ultimate example of living â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pure in heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is Mary, the mother of Jesus. The Orthodox Church calls her as the Mother of God and rightfully so. Historically, the Christian Church has always believed Jesus was both fully God and fully man from the time of His conception. Logically, if I believe this then I must believe Mary gave birth to God. She nurtured God at her breast, she looked after Him as a toddler and raised Him to manhood. She saw God from conception to death. So that begs the question, were everyone who saw Jesus walk the earth, pure of heart? Some may have suspected His divinity and were determined to destroy Him. Others may have tried to curry His favour for their own gains and a few may have sincerely considered Him a crazy person who was a danger to a well ordered society. Out of all the people who knew Christ when He walked the world, only a handful recognized Him as God and only a few of those were actually devoted to His service and worship. One of these was Mary. In the Orthodox Church, Mary is called the second Eve. Unlike Eve who questioned God and disobeyed, Mary questioned but chose to submit to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan even though it could have meant her death. Eveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disobedience lost the world but through Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obedience, redemption was able to enter the world. Mary was devoted to Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service even when it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense. Peter questioned Jesus when He told him to cast his net again. Peter hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t caught anything all night but, contrary to his considerable experience as a fisherman, was willing to try again because Jesus said to and look how he was rewarded. (Luke 5:5) When Lazarus died and Jesus decided to go to Bethany, the apostles tried to talk him out of it for fear of the authorities. When Jesus insisted on going, they all willing set aside their own lives to accompany Jesus even though they were sure they would all be captured and killed. (John 11:16) Those who follow Jesus recognize â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (1 Corinthians 1:25) They put aside their own egos, their own goals, even their own lives to show the world the love of God. Mary was the first. God chose her and she agreed. Because of her obedience, Love was made flesh and able to enter the world. Because of her giving birth to God, all of creation could be healed and was no longer doomed to eternal death. Because of her, the first Christian, our Mother and example, we can follow her Son and through His grace set aside our egos, to love, serve and worship God unconditionally, becoming pure in heart and able to see God in His Kingdom all around us.
