Cranbrook prepares for primatology weekend Dr. Jane Goodall to leave a lasting legacy of education, launching ‘Roots and Shoots’ program locally ANNALEE GRANT Townsman Staff

Dr. Jane Goodall is headed to Cranbrook this weekend for a whirlwind tour, and she will leave behind a legacy of knowledge when she takes off on Tuesday.

Susie MacDonald, program co-ordinator for Co-

lumbia Basin Environmental Education Network’s Wild Voices for Kids, said Goodall will speak to 575 elementary students, mostly Grade 6s on Monday at the Key City Theatre. She hopes those students will spread the knowledge from Goodall’s talk to their peers when

they return to school.

“We’re hoping there’s going to be a lot of drop down from this,” MacDonald said, adding that Grade 6 is the perfect age for Goodall, because younger students may not understand her language.

Each school will get a

chance to ask the world-renewed primatologist one question. MacDonald said the students are already working together to come up with that one great question to pose to Goodall. One student will be selected to address her directly and ask it.

“Students are still pre-

paring,” MacDonald said.

The focus of Goodall’s talk will be on Roots and Shoots, a national program that encourages people to improve the quality of life and environment for people and animals. Goodall along with MacDonald will be launching Roots and Shoots

in Cranbrook and encouraging students and their teachers to get involved with environmental programs and projects in their area. MacDonald said Goodall is very involved in the program.

It’s a celebration of all things potato, and the public is invited to come out and enjoy the season’s harvest this Sunday.

The Cranbrook Food Action Committee will be harvesting the fruits of their labour after a successful first year of the new Public Produce Garden on Sunday. The Potato Picking Party will “pick” off at 12 p.m. and go until 4 p.m. on the corner of 8th St. N and 18th Ave. N, and everyone is welcome to come out, pull out a few tubers and enjoy some fun family activities.

“People can come and go as they please that’s always been the policy of the garden,” said Christian Kimber, Public Produce Garden manager.

Kimber said this will be the first celebration of a year’s harvest after seed potatoes were planted in early July.

“It’s the first time we’ve had a garden,” he said. “We’re going to roll up our sleeves and rip out some potato plants.”

Afterwards the apples of the earth will be boiled up and served to the hungry volunteer gardeners, and any remaining will be handed out for free. Kale and cilantro also flourished in the garden, and those plants will be harvested and given out.

“Baked potatoes are always nice but these will be great boiled,” Kimber said.

The Cranbrook Food Action Committee is hoping for a big turnout to compliment the volunteers who have been doing the gardening over the summer.

“We’re hoping to get lots of people out pulling potato plants,” Kimber said.

Kids and their families are more than welcome, and the committee has planned a number of fun tater-related activities from potato sack races to potato

decorating to entertain all. Kimber hopes the kids will get right in the garden and help pick the spuds, but he suspects it won’t be a chore for them.

“Kids and dirt and potatoes – it’s hard to keep them out of there,” he said.

A composting workshop will be held for the adults in the crowd to learn how to make their own gardens better.

“It doesn’t take a lot of instruction to produce some fine dirt,” Kimber said.

The committee is also looking for feedback and suggestions as they look to next year. The space where the garden sits is capable of being expanded, and Kimber said they want to involve the community in the garden’s future.

“We’d like to get some suggestions and ideas,” he said.

The Potato Picking Party will also give potential volunteers and gardeners a chance to connect, in the hope that more will come out and enjoy it next year.

Kimber said now that the garden is established the work for next year is minimal.

“Now really it’s rolling. All we have to do is put seeds in the ground,” he said. “It didn’t seem like a lot of work.”

With that said, Kimber said the committee will always need someone official to make sure everything is planted and tasks aren’t completed twice or not at all.

“I suspect we’ll always need a co-ordinator of some sort but I’d like to see enough volunteer s for the garden to run itself,” he said.

For more information on the Potato Picking Party or the Cranbrook Food Action Committee contact Kimber at (250) 4893917 or email cranbrookfoodaction@yahoo.ca. The committee also has a Facebook group.

National conference a coup for a small town C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

The JCI Canadian National Convention was held at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre last weekend and according to Conference Chair Mike Adams of the local JCI Kootenays chapter, it was a resounding success.

“It went great,” he said. “I had nothing but great feedback. The members were thrilled with the conference centre.”

Attracting the conference to a smaller town was a bit of a coup as the national conventions are almost always held in major urban centres.

“Going back the six years I’ve been attending the conventions, I’ve been to Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto — the smallest city I’d been to was Kelowna, so coming to an area like this was different,” Adams said. “One lady who has been going to the conventions for 17 years said the facilities were as good as any major city,” Adams said.

“The Resort was great to work with, all the accommodators and the Conference Centre staff were just great to work with.”

One of the highlights for many attendees were the excursions, everything from white water rafting to heli-hiking to kayaking.

“We tried to focus on things you could only do here,” Adams said.

Of course the spectacular weather didn’t hurt, showing off this area to its full advantage, he says.

The JCI Kootenay chapter is a relatively small group and almost all of them were involved in pulling off the convention.

“We’ve got 35 members in our group and 10 people on the committee who worked hundreds of hours. At some point 20 to 25 people from our group had some part in making this a success. It’s a really good group of people.”

Adams said that they will have a meeting to go over anything they could have done differently, but he doesn’t feel there is much.

“We had one training session cancelled because not enough people signed up so I guess we could say we wouldn’t have planned that session, but really it was as close to perfect as we could have asked.”

Goodall will leave lasting legacy Continued from page 1 “She really makes an effort to stay in contact with the Roots and Shoots people,” she said.

MacDonald said Roots and Shoots is a good match for CBEEN, which acts as a network for local environmental practitioners.

“I’m hoping this is going to spur teachers into environmental action in their classes,” she said.

CBEEN already has

access to many key players in environmental education in the community, and MacDonald said there are many amazing people and projects already happening in the area that Roots and Shoots can tap into.

“This is the first time its really been brought to the public attention,” MacDonald said.

Goodall will arrive in Cranbrook on Satur-

day, and MacDonald said she gets a little bit of rest before launching into a very busy weekend of speaking engagements. While on speaking tours, Goodall continues to work on her many global initiatives.

“I don’t think she ever stops,” MacDonald said.

Before meeting with students, Goodall will connect with teachers and educators in the Kootenays on Sunday

Dr. Jane Goodall at the St. Eugene Mission to introduce Roots and Shoots. Carissa MacLennan, co-ordinator of the Jane Good-

all Institute’s Canadian Roots and Shoots branch will be there to explain the program.

Tickets have already sold out for Goodall’s Reasons for Hope presentation at the Key City Theatre on Sunday evening and the wine and cheese reception.

Municipalities get more say on BC Transit To m F l e tc h e r Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government will ask local communities to nominate directors for the BC Transit board, in an effort to improve communication on bus service changes and expansions.

Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced Tuesday that communities will also have the option of setting up regional transit commissions, similar to

the one in place in Greater Victoria.

The recommendations follow a review of BC Transit administration, sparked by complaints that the provincial agency was arbitrarily changing service and costs after municipal budgets were set.

“We are also making sure that BC Transit provides sufficient notice to local governments of any service adjustments, along with the type of infor-

mation local governments need to make timely budget decisions,” Polak said.

Joe Stanhope, chair of the Regional District of Nanaimo, praised the review and BC Transit’s efforts to give communities more say. It was Stanhope’s complaints about a doubling of management fees and the proposed withdrawal of new buses from the Nanaimo service that provoked the review.

BC Transit CEO

Manuel Achadinha said there has already been progress on new regional transit authorities. The Kootenay region has nine different bus systems, but has established a committee that could lead to a regional service. The

provincial review identified the Okanagan and Central Fraser Valley as other areas that should consider amalgamating.

The ministry will develop a policy for intercity transit routes that will focus on shorter

trips and timing for commuters, Polak said, while leaving longer bus service to Greyhound and other private bus lines.

Polak said the municipalities in the Greater Victoria Transit Commission remain

split on whether they should transfer their service to the Capital Regional District. The government will extend their ability to nominate commission members, which are now restricted to mayors of key communities.

B.C. coast prepares for tsunami debris Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Thousands of tonnes of floating debris are expected to wash up on North

That’s the assess-

City of Kimberley PUBLIC NOTICE The City of Kimberley hereby gives notice that it intends to amend City of Kimberley Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2233, 2005.

Bylaw No. 2455, Amendment No. 10, 2012 proposes to amend Schedule “A”, Planned Land Use, to City of Kimberley Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2233, 2005, by designating land legally described as: Lot 42, Plan 9625, District Lot 4287, Kootenay Land District; PID 013-077-121, as shown in heavy outline on the map below and civically located at 88-101st Avenue, Kimberley, BC from Public Institutional/Utility to Low Density Residential.

total mass still afloat is estimated at 1.5 million tonnes, but only a small fraction of that is expected to reach B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake said the lighter windblown material that has already begun washing ashore is an increase in natural flow that has occurred for thousands of years.

Tsunami debris is expected only on coastal areas directly exposed to the Pacific, and not the east side of Vancouver Island or coastal sections sheltered by islands.

It’s not possible to survey or even get access to all areas of B.C.’s coastline, much less clean up the debris completely, Lake said.

And B.C. will be calling on volunteer organizations to help monitor and collect debris, as U.S. coastal states are also doing.

Timing and volume of debris can’t be determined exactly, because it is too spread out to track with satellites, said Robin Brown, head of Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s ocean science division. Brown said the pace and path are not predictable, with circular currents such as those that have formed a vast “garbage patch” west of Hawaii.

Radioactive contamination is not considered a hazard, as most of

Ordinary debris can be removed, and plastics or metals recycled where possible.

If material can be directly linked to the Japanese tsunami, officials ask for detailed report e-mailed to DisasterDebris@noaa.gov, the U.S. agency coordinating response for Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California.

If fuel tanks, barrels, gas cylinders or chemical storage containers are found, people are advised to stay away

Too many wolves, B.C. ranchers say Canadian Press

The B.C. Cattlemen’s Association says the province must do something to control the overpopulation of wolves in this province.

Association general manager Kevin Boone says his group is not calling for the eradication of wolves, but he says they have no natural predators and packs are ravag-

ing cattle herds.

Boone says his members blame wolves for losses estimated at about 10 million dollars annually.

According to Boone, B.C. has one of the highest populations of wolves in the world and the unchecked numbers mean moose and caribou herds are also suffering.

Seniors offered at-home services Cranbrook chosen as one of 18 initial sites for United Way’s Better At Home program

Townsman Staff

Local seniors could soon be offered help to remain living at home under a new $15 million program.

Funded by the B.C. government and coordinated by the United Way, the Better At Home program will be considered in 18 communities across the province starting this fall.

The program offers simple services such as housekeeping, grocery shopping, friendly visits, yard work, home repair, snow removal and transportation to appointments. Medical services such as personal hygiene assistance and help with moving around will remain the domain of community health workers.

“We know that most seniors, if given the choice, would prefer to live independently as long as they can in their own homes, among friends and neighbours,” said Michael McKnight, president and CEO of the United Way of the Lower Mainland. “This program allows that opportunity for seniors who are healthy overall, but require modest help

with a few tasks. We want to prevent isolation and loneliness, especially among those who are most vulnerable, while helping seniors maintain their quality of life.”

Cranbrook was chosen among 18 B.C. communities, including Penticton and Surrey, to set up the program. The selection of potential communities was based on demographics, local conditions and consultation with provincial health authorities, regional United Ways and local agencies serving seniors.

Community consultation will start after Thanksgiving and carry on through the fall and winter, with some communities expected to offer services to seniors as early as January.

The eventual establishment of a Better At Home program in each community depends upon the community itself wanting to participate and a non-profit agency stepping forward to lead the development and delivery of services.

McKnight said seniors are front and cen-

tre in the process, and help determine the services that best meet their needs in the community. The local agency creates the operational structure to register seniors and offer the services, which will be delivered primarily by a network of volunteers.

Fees for services will be based on an ability to pay and local market conditions, and in some cases will be offered free of charge.

Minister of Health Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid said the initiative is a key part of its Seniors Action Plan to respond to the needs of seniors and an aging population in B.C. “Today’s announcement of the 18 communities builds on our commitment to support healthy aging and help B.C. seniors remain independent for as long as possible,” said Dr. MacDiarmid. “Partnering with United Way of the Lower Mainland allows government to take advantage of their knowledge and expertise to help keep seniors in their own homes because that is where they want to be.”

Car accident in Kootenay National Park claims life

Ste ve Jessel Invermere Valley Echo

The Columbia Valley had a number of auto accidents over the weekend with at least three separate incidents, one of which, in Kootenay National Park, resulting in a fatality.

First, on Friday, Sept.

21, RCMP attended a scene where a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe had driven off of a 10-foot embankment near 6th Avenue in Invermere.

The car was found laying on its roof in the wetlands near John Chabot Provincial Park.

RCMP surmise that the driver, a 71-year-old from Edmonton had mistakenly hit the gas instead of the brake and

subsequently crashed down the rock embankment. RCMP, Invermere Fire Rescue and a tow truck were required to extract the driver and the 66-year-old passenger from the vehicle, with each suffering only minor injuries.

Just minutes after, the RCMP were called to another accident, a twocar collision on the hill on 13th Street, also in Invermere. A 2004 Dodge Caravan driven by a 40-year-old Invermere male was struck when a 1997 Buick Skylark driven by an 84-year-old failed to yield at a stop sign, proceeding through the intersection and striking the Dodge Caravan.

Only minor injuries were reported, and the 84-year-old driver was charged with failure to yield.

Finally, Columbia Valley RCMP were informed of a fatal single vehicle accident on Hwy 93 in Kootenay National Park, about 8 km west of the B.C. Alberta border on Sept. 23. A 2001 Volvo driven by a 67-year-old man collided with a moose while in the eastbound lane, at which time the vehicle exited the roadway. It was determined at the scene that a 73-year-old passenger was deceased, while the driver was taken to Banff hospital before being flown to Calgary.

Canadian war artist Bruno Bobak dies in New Brunswick at age of 88 Ke vin Bisse t t Canadian Press

FREDERICTON — Bruno Bobak, who was Canada’s youngest official war artist during the Second World War, has died in New Brunswick.

The 88-year-old painter died in hospital in Saint John on Monday following a brief illness, said Bernie Riordon, director of Fredericton’s Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

“He was a very pas-

sionate and emotional Expressionistic painter that people grew to love and admire,’’ said Riordon.

Bobak was born in Wawelowska, Poland in 1923, and his family moved to Canada two years later.

He enlisted in the Canadian Army during the war and was made an official war artist in 1944 after winning an art competition — travelling with the 4th Canadian Armoured Divi-

sion through France and Germany.

Bobak moved to Fredericton in 1960, where he remained for the rest of his life.

Inge Pataki, who owns Gallery 78 in Fredericton, said Bobak was a close friend and talented artist.

“Anything he did with his hands and with his eyes was perfect,’’ Pataki said. “He was a print-maker, he drew incredibly well,

Ministry has change of heart C a n a d i a n P r e ss

The health ministry is taking a second look at what appears to be a hard-hearted decision involving a young patient who has raised millions for children’s charities in this province.

Victoria teen Jeneece Edroff — an Order of B.C. recipient for her charitable work -- has been denied permission to seek a second opinion about her condition, which is caus-

ing her spine to deteriorate.

Edroff wants to travel to the Mayo Clinic — where a group of doctors specialize in her illness -- but the province says it won’t pay for treatment or opinions that are also available here.

Edroff wants details of an experimental procedure before having surgery in Canada that will likely end with permanent paralysis.

his paintings were fantastic, and he made furniture.’’

“His figurative work is a very strong expression of humanity, his landscapes were just masterful at characterizing or portraying the province of New Brunswick.’’

The Bobaks were named members of the Order of Canada in 1995.

She randomly selected a club, because neither of us knew which one to use and trudged across the sand. She hit the ball on the first try, and it sailed out close to the hole. I was teasing her as she headed out of the sand, when she slipped on the grass and bailed. There was an audible thud as she hit the grass with club still in hand. Oh how we laughed.

The chaos continued through the next few holes. The fourth was a long one, and after hitting it into some trees I gave up and threw my ball back onto the fairway as hard as I could. Turns out I can throw farther than I can golf, and Jess suggested we try baseball next. That hole was completed in no less than eight shots each, but we weren’t actually keeping score.

The eighth hole we managed to do in only four shots – our biggest victory of the day. By the ninth hole we were ready for more. Maybe we should have done the 18?

We finished off the round with victory Caesars in the clubhouse.

I think following the success of our golf game, Jess and I are ready for another sporting goal we’ve been thinking about. Is it curling season yet?

Edmonton mayor questions fan support for Oilers in Seattle C ANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON - Edmonton’s mayor says if the Oilers are serious about trying to relocate the NHL team to Seattle, good luck drawing fans in the Pacific Northwest.

Stephen Mandel, in a TV interview Tuesday, says Oilers and owner Daryl Katz would be hard-pressed to duplicate the rabid fan interest and sellout crowds in the Alberta capital.

The Oilers are the top sports draw in the Edmonton market, but Mandel says in Seattle they would be fourth or fifth.

The city and the Oilers are currently in a last-ditch effort to agree on a funding deal for a new downtown arena.

Oilers management, in a news release, says

it has to look at other options like Seattle because talks on a new rink in Edmonton have been going on for four years with no resolution.

But Mandel says the two sides had a deal a year ago; the new impasse is the result of recent demands from the Oilers for millions of dollars more in concessions from taxpayers.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman downplayed the threat of the Oilers moving south of the border.

“We continue to believe that an arena deal is achievable, and with a new arena there should be no reason to have any doubts about the future of the Oilers in Edmonton,” Bettman said in a statement released Tuesday.

NFL upholds Seahawks’ controversial win R ACHEL COHEN Associated Press

NEW YORK - The NFL put its stamp of approval on the stillsmouldering outcome of the Green Bay-Seattle game: Wrong call.

Right review.

Wrong team still wins.

Seahawks 14, Packers 12.

With frustration mounting among coaches, players and fans, the worst fear finally materialized: a mistake by a replacement official would decide the outcome of a game.

It came while the NFL and its regular officials, locked out since June, were in resumed talks in an attempt to resolve the impasse.

That was still a day late for the Packers.

The fiasco, which unfolded on the prominent stage of “Monday Night Football,” was deconstructed by the league Tuesday in a

way that surely rendered little comfort for Cheeseheads.

The NFL said Seattle’s last-second touchdown pass should not have counted because Seahawks receiver Golden Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference, ending the game with Green Bay winning.

Instead, officials ruled it a touchdown, and penalties either way are not reviewable.

That left it to whether Tate and Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings both had possession of the ball. The officials said they did, but the Packers insisted Jennings had clear possession for a game-ending interception. The NFL agreed that the replay was inconclusive, upholding the touchdown and giving Seattle the victory.

Officials signal a touchdown by Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate, obscured, on the last play of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers, Monday, Sept. 24, 2012, in Seattle. The Seahawks won 14-12. much after the loss, lashed out on his radio show Tuesday..

“First of all, I’ve got to do something that the NFL is not going to do: I have to apologize to the fans,” he said on ESPN 540-AM in Milwaukee.

Even President Barack Obama got in on the conversation Tuesday, tweeting: “NFL fans on both sides of the aisle hope the refs’ lockout is settled

soon.”

The controversy began on the final play when Russell Wilson heaved a 24-yard pass into a scrum in the end zone with Seattle trailing 12-7. Tate shoved away a defender with both hands, and he and Jennings got their hands on the ball.

“It was pinned to my chest the whole time,” Jennings said.

Instead, the officials ruled on the field that

the two had simultaneous possession, which counts as a reception.

“The NFL Officiating Department reviewed the video today and supports the decision not to overturn the onfield ruling following the instant replay review,” the league said in a statement.

Saying there was no indisputable evidence, though, is not the same as confirming the initial call was correct.

Nitro forward rejoins team after WHL tryout TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Even though Dallin Wolf never stuck in the WHL, he had a blast trying out for it.

The 18-year-old forward travelled south of the 49th parallel at the end of August to attend his first training camp with the Tri-City Americans, which listed him last July.

Wolf got in four preseason games with the Americans, but was released on a week ago, returning to his hometown to suit up for the Kimberley Dynamiters.

“It was really fun and a great experience,” said Wolf.

He even crossed paths with the Kootenay Ice during his preseason stint, dropping the mitts with Ice defenseman Tanner Muth in a scrap

when the two teams faced each other three weeks ago.

It was a big change for him to move up into major-junior hockey, he said.

“It was a big step up from what I’m used to, and everybody was really good and it was really professional,” Wolf said.

However, Tri-City’s management sent him back down to the Dynamiters on Sept. 17.

“They told me that I did good, but I needed

to just get better with my overall speed of play and come back next year, I guess,” Wolf said.

After being released, he was able to make it back for last Friday’s tilt against the Fernie Ghostriders in his home barn, contributing a goal and an assist as he helped lead his team to a 4-1 victory.

The Nitros are surely grateful for his return, as he played in 39 games for the club last year, posting 14 points and adding a big physical presence to the forward ranks.

And he’s eager to get down to work with his hometown team.

“We got a lot of good young talent his year and a lot of hard working kids and I think it’s going to be a pretty good season,” Wolf said.

NHL labour talks to resume on Friday Chris Johnston Canadian Press

TORONTO - The NHL’s collective bargaining talks are set to resume after a two-week hiatus and all of the issues are open for discussion.

Not only did the league and NHL Players’ Association schedule a meeting for Friday in New York, but they also agreed to reopen negotiations on matters unrelated to the economic system that governs the sport.

It’s a departure in approach from the weeks leading into the lockout, when the sides focused solely on core economics. They were about $1 billion apart after each tabling offers during the last bargaining session on Sept. 12, and a new plan of attack was developed by deputy commissioner Bill Daly and

Steve Fehr, the NHLPA’s special counsel, during a face-to-face meeting in Toronto on Tuesday morning.

“We agreed on an agenda that made sense and might produce some forward progress,” Daly told The Canadian Press.

The lockout has already forced the cancellation of September’s pre-season games and it’s expected that the remainder of the exhibition schedule could officially be wiped out as soon as Wednesday.

After that, regular season games will be next on the chopping block.

Despite stalled negotiations, Daly said earlier this week that the process was “light years” ahead of where it was at this point in 2004. The decision to return to the bargaining table is evidence of that. Eight

years ago, the sides let three months pass after the lockout was enacted before resuming talks.

“We are pleased the league is willing to come back to the bargaining table and we look forward to Friday’s discussions,” Fehr said.

While a significant economic gulf remains this time around, at least one veteran negotiator believes it’s a good sign the NHL and NHLPA are willing to discuss issues such as pensions, grievance procedures and travel in the meantime.

“It means that once they settle the economic issues they want to start playing right away,” said the negotiator, who requested anonymity.

Additional reminders of the damage inflicted by the lockout continue to surface with each passing day. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

reported Tuesday that the Blues had laid off just under 20 employees and forced their remaining staff to take pay cuts or a reduced work week.

Starting next week, NHL employees will all be operating on a fourday work week - and earning 20 per cent less salary as a result.

Meantime, the flood of locked-out players to Europe continues, with Vezina Trophy finalist Pekka Rinne signing on with Dinamo Minsk in the KHL Tuesday and Tuuka Rask (HC Plzen), Mikhail Grabovski (CSKA Moscow), Alex Steen (Modo), Douglas Murray (Djurgarden) and Alex Semin (Sokol Krasnoyarsk) joining new teams as well.

The NHL is currently engaged in its fourth work stoppage in the last 20 years. Since the lockout started at mid-

night on Sept. 15, a handful of players have expressed concern that it could last the entire season, with Detroit Red Wings forward Danny Cleary telling reporters Monday that he was “just trying to be realistic.”

However, there are signs that sides continue to have a decent working relationship. Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr chatted during an alumni dinner in Toronto on Monday night and their lieutenants oversaw a five-hour review of last season’s economics earlier that day.

After that session, Daly called it “constructive” and noted that the parties were able to agree on the escrow payments due to players much sooner than a year ago.

Riders race against time during cycling event Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

The Six on the Stix cycling race was a big success last Sunday, as riders raced around a track in the Community Forest for hours in an effort to accumulate the most laps.

Roughly 110 cyclists took up the challenge, with riders averaging a time of 40-50 minutes to complete one lap of

a single-track 12-kilometre course, which was accessed at the College of the Rockies parking lot.

The event had a men’s and women’s solo division, a team category, and a shorter 1 km course for younger teens, while a 250metre track was set up for toddlers and kids with training wheels.

Charlie Cooper, of

RM Events, got involved with the race this year, helping Favorit Cycles and James McKee with organizing everything, as Six in the Stix is in it’s third year.

“I participated myself last year and was really impressed with what this event could become, just because of the great access from the College of the

Six in the Stix Results

Rockies parking lot to the Community Forest trails,” said Cooper.

This was the first year prize money was awarded as Cooper and McKee had $1,000 to split up for the top three finishes in the solo divisions.

The event attracted many local riders and participants from out of the region, according to Cooper.

“I like having events that involves the locals, that’s what it’s all about,” said Cooper, “but at the same time, the balance of having out-of-towners come and stay for the weekend and enjoy the air is pretty important for the long-term growth of the event.”

“All that is in my mind is to keep working hard to come back,” Nadal said in interviews with European newspapers Tuesday. “I cannot think about the future because it’s not like if you break your arm and you know you will have a few weeks like this, then a few weeks like that and then you are back.”

Nadal is recovering from a partially torn patella tendon in his left knee.

“This is a day-by-day thing,” Nadal said. “I have checks every day to see how I’m improving. I can’t predict what will happen.”

Nadal could miss the ATP World Tour Finals in London Nov. 5-12 and Spain’s Davis Cup final against the Czech Republic Nov. 16-18.

Nadal said he played with anti-inflammatories to get through the French Open, which he won for a record seventh time, and took pain-killing injections at Wimbledon.

HOME OPENER WEEKEND Sunday Sept 29 • 6:00 pm

LETHBRIDGE VS HURRICANES Kootenay Ice transition to the next generation Youth is the theme for the Kootenay Ice this year.

The region’s WHL club has entered the new season with a noticeably younger roster which will be a good challenge for Ryan McGill, the Ice’s former head coach who returned to lead the club in the summer.

Kootenay finished last season by making a 14th consecutive appearance in the WHL playoffs, but were swept out of the first round by the eventual champions in the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Despite the rout, the Ice had yet another successful season with a 36-266-4 regular-season record and will be looking to continue their playoff streak this year.

McGill is excited for the season and brushes away concerns of being too young.

“We’re really looking forward to this year. I think we have a way more positive outlook on the team than some other people do,” said McGill, in an interview during training camp at the end of August. “I think this team is going to be a good team

and I look right from the top to the bottom.

“We’ve got some skill, we’ve got some grit, we’ve got some good leadership, we’ve got a good older group and, you know what, the goaltender is going to get a chance to show that he belongs, and hopefully he can do that.”

In the forward ranks, expect sophomores Jaedon Descheneau, Jon Martin, and Levi Cable to add more to the scoresheet.

Erik Benoit, 19, will likely get a spot as a top-six forward on the wing and will be looking to have a career year.

Sam Reinhart will skate around the league with a bull’s-eye on his back as the opposition will be looking to shut down last season’s rookie of the year at every turn.

Reinhart posted 28 goals and 34 assists in his inaugural year in the league last year, playing a large

chunk of it on a line with his older brother, Max. The Ice have two wildcards this season with a pair of European forwards selected in the CHL Import Draft last June. Petr Vesely and Jakub Prochazka, both 1994-born players, have fit in well with the team so far, even though they’re still working on their English-speaking skills.

On the defensive side, Joey Leach will lead from the blue line, with Jagger Dirk and Tanner Muth at his side. Spencer Wand, Mike Simpson and Jeff Hubic have a year under their belt now, and will look to develop into more complete players.

Mackenzie Skapski has some big shoes to fill, as Nathan Lieuwen was a wall in between the pipes last year. Skapski will be backed up by Wyatt Hoflin, who is looking to break into the WHL this

The Ice opened the 2012/13 edition on the road, losing two games against the Edmonton Oil Kings and the Calgary Hitmen, but Kootenay fans will get a chance to see the home team this weekend.

The Regina Pats will open Kootenay’s home schedule on Friday at Western Financial Place in Cranbrook followed by a contest with the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Saturday.

features The literate life

CBAL helps hundreds of adult literacy learners

E

very year throughout the Columbia Basin and Boundary regions, hundreds of our citizens work with literacy instructors and tutors to improve their reading, writing, math, English language and computer skills.

These adults are seeking out CBAL (the Columbia Basin and Boundary not-forprofit literacy organization) programs to improve their skills, knowledge and ability so they can participate more fully in their lives and communities. The program benefits and the learners’ commitment are having a positive impact in towns and villages in our the regions.

“We work closely with libraries, schools, colleges, businesses, and other community partners to develop, promote and deliver adult literacy and learning services,” said Ali Wassing, CBAL Executive Director.

“The Canadian Council on Learning reported that 60 per cent of Canadians do not

have the necessary literacy skills to manage their health adequately. We know the health benefits individuals and communities gain when a commitment is made to life-long learning.”

The Adult Literacy and Life Skills international survey found approximately 40 per cent of Canadians need greater knowledge and skills to effectively find and use basic written information for daily work and living tasks.

“Research shows us the need for increased adult literacy,” says Betty Knight, CBAL Regional Program Manager, East Kootenay. “We see the effects on individuals, families and communities, and are committed to helping people change their lives through small group classes, one-to-one tutoring and services at our centres.”

“Our learners gain muchneeded skills in reading, writing and speaking English,” said Linda Steward, Creston Community Literacy Coordinator. “They also find friend-

ship and emotional support to combat the isolation immigrants experience. It is so rewarding to see them start with little or no English and, within a few years, be working, joining community organizations, and settling into a happy full life in our valley.”

Learners expressing their appreciation said: “Your teacher is very good teacher. I learn lots how to speak, to write and to read English.”

“The ESL class helps me to practice my English and my tutor helps me with many

things in my life and I have the conversations with her.”

Selkirk College works with CBAL and the Kootenay Family Place in Castlegar to bring high school upgrading courses to parents.

“This program is such a pleasure to be part of,” said Allison Alder, Chair, School of Academic Upgrading and Development, Selkirk College. “While instructors help parents brush up on math, learn a new biology concept or polish their writing skills, they can relax knowing their children are cared for nearby.

Bringing learning opportunities to people, where and when they are comfortable, is community learning at its finest.”

“The program gave me an opportunity to complete my schooling by providing excellent childcare, career counseling and an awesome tutor.

But most importantly, I received positive encouragement to follow through with my career plans,” said Charity Barbour, a past ABE program participant.

In Cranbrook, CBAL partners with College of the Rockies to offer the Young Parent Education Program.

Young parents, who face multiple barriers, can complete their high school education, and, focus on learning new life, work and parenting skills.

“Learners make new and sustaining friendships, support each other, and, with improved self-esteem are empowered to move on to vocational, academic or employment opportunities

when they graduate,” said Katherine Hough, Cranbrook Community Literacy Coordinator.

Literacy statistics affecting our communities: • 26 per cent of Canadians with the lowest literacy skill levels are unemployed • 80 per cent of those with low literacy skills earn less than $27,000 a year.

• 33 per cent of employers report challenges because some staff need better literacy skills.

On Wednesday, October 10, support literacy in your community by taking part in Black Press and CBAL’s Reach-A-Reader campaign.

Buy your local newspaper from a volunteer who will be out in the town. ALL proceeds raised will go to support literacy programs in your community.

By learning together, we will grow strong together.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are riding the crest of a wave.

Take advantage of an opportunity that appears out of the blue. Your vision for what could occur probably is more of a possibility than you might imagine. Tonight: Where your friends are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Zero in on what you know is effective when dealing with an elder or respected authority figure. In some way, you might want to be more authentic. There could be an element of resentment that surrounds you. Do not lash out.

Tonight: Out with loved ones.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your ability to get past an immediate issue emerges. You see what many people don’t -- an alternative path. Do not hesitate, even if this way might appear offbeat. If you think it could end a problem and be successful, why not do it?

Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Allow your imagination to come

forward, and approach a situation very differently. A partner, associate or dear friend actively might be giving you feedback and direction.

Use care with anger, whether it is yours or someone else’s. Stay neutral. Tonight: Put on some music.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Deal with a partner directly, or else the mood could turn ugly. In discussions, you’ll realize that you have many more options that you initially thought. A neighbor or sibling could be difficult as well.

Bypass this person. Tonight: Be a duo.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others flock to you. With one exception, everyone seems upbeat and friendly. Be careful with angry words, as they could be remembered for a long time. Curb your spending for now, at least until you feel more confident. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be taken aback by a situation. It is rare to find you speechless. Deal with strong feelings first, and allow more compassion to flow between you and someone else. Concentrate on a project you

For Better or Worse

want to finish. Tonight: Put your feet up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity rises to an unprecedented level. Your way of handling anger might work for you, but not others. Keeping your feelings to yourself could cause depression. The question is: How do you express them in an appropriate manner? Tonight: Take a midweek break.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Try to establish better communication and a sense of community with others. Your way of thinking and handling a matter could change radically after getting input from others. An older friend could be difficult. Tonight: You do not need to go far.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of how much you indulge yourself right now.

Ultimately, you might justify indulging a friend or loved, but ultimately it impacts you the same way. Be careful when expressing your displeasure with someone.

Tonight: Return calls.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are in your element, though

it is clear that someone else does not realize it. You might want to discuss a matter involving a friend at a distance; perhaps it is time for a trip. Once you seem more available, so will the other party.

Tonight: Do some shopping you have putting off.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Know when to back off and say “enough.” You have experienced a lot of frustration lately. Having someone else add to the disagreeable commentary might be too much. Let someone know what your boundaries are. It is important for both of you. Tonight: Chill with friends.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My parents divorced years ago. Dad waited patiently while Mom chose between him and another man. In the end, Mom chose the other guy, but it didn’t work out. Neither have any of her other relationships. Meanwhile, my dad married a lovely, classy and extremely wealthy woman. They have found true happiness, while my mom has become bitter and jealous.

I love both of my parents, but it’s difficult to be around my mother when she constantly whines and complains about Dad, saying he has money and she doesn’t. My grandmother had to take over most of Mom’s financial responsibilities, including helping to pay for our expenses growing up.

Here’s the problem. My sister is getting married. She is paying for part of the wedding, but asked our parents to help with the rest. Dad gave her a check for his share. Mom, on the other hand, is unable to pay, and Grandma says she is not covering the cost. This was a surprise because Grandma has always said “yes” in the past. Mom won’t tell my sister because she doesn’t want to upset her. She doesn’t want Dad to know she can’t afford it, which is ridiculous because he’s well aware that she is financially strapped. He probably assumes Grandma will pay.

Mom has reached a new level of complaining. She cries and is frequently sick.

She’s angry with Grandma. She worries that Dad’s wife will look prettier at the wedding and that her future son-in-law will like my stepmother better. She has asked to borrow money from me and is thinking of taking out a loan.

I want to help, but I think part of this is her own fault. She needs to grow up and live within her means instead of trying to keep up with Dad and his wife. But telling her that would crush her. What can I do? -- Worried Dear Worried: There’s only so much reassurance you can give Mom if she cannot overcome her insecurities. That might require professional help. But there is no reason to protect your sister from the difficulties she has caused. Tell her the wedding is a financial burden that Mom cannot manage, and ask her to cut back on her expenses or find another way to pay for the extra cost.

Dear Annie: My husband enjoyed sex when we had it, but I initiated every session. After five years, I started to feel as if I was begging for it and asked him to take the lead some of the time. He didn’t.

For three more years, I told him it would thrill me to be approached by him, treated to dinner or have a little gift placed on my pillow -- the kind of things I did for him. I finally convinced him to go for counseling, but my husband wouldn’t do any of the things the counselor suggested. In desperation, I told him that if he wanted sex, he would have to initiate it.

That was seven years ago, and we haven’t been intimate since. I can’t divorce him because of my own physical problems. He says he loves me, but he’s not willing to do anything for me. Any suggestions? -- Another Sad Wife Dear Sad: Other than making sure your husband has a thorough checkup, you might consider counseling for yourself.

While you cannot force your husband to change, you can work on your own happiness. Our condolences.

Dear Annie: May I weigh in on whether or not to have flowers at a funeral?

When my parents died, the flowers were deeply appreciated. They brightened the rooms where we had visitation and later at the church.

If someone wants to give to a charity, fine, but the flowers at my parents’ funerals brought much more comfort to us than any of the donations, although the latter were surely well intended. -- C.B.

NBC cancels Rengel segment after mom’s plea Colin Perkel Canadian Press

TORONTO — An American TV network nixed a segment on the murder of a Canadian teenager after her mother made a public emotional plea against its production, a publicist said Tuesday.

Using her blog, Patricia Hung had lambasted NBC for planning the E! Entertainment segment on the killing as a crass profit-grab at the expense of her daughter Stefanie Rengel.

The postings, which garnered dozens of supportive comments, appears to have had its desired effect. ``E! opted not to include the Stefanie Rengel case in our upcoming special ‘When Teens Kill,,’’ said Kristen Osborne, senior publicist with E!.

Earlier in the day, Hung called on the media to respect her family’s privacy despite her plea against production of the segment, saying she was ``disappointed’’ by the widespread attention. ``We are trying to minimize the amount of media attention to this story — hence asking NBC to cancel their publication — to protect our

children from any more re-victimization,’’ Hung said.

Stefanie, 14, was stabbed to death outside their east-end Toronto home on New Year’s Day 2008 in a shockingly senseless act that put two teens behind bars

Patricia Hung for life.

In a blog posting, Hung appealed for help to stop NBC from making the segment on the killing for the E! special. ``They have chosen to profile Stefanie’s story and have refused to cancel even after I begged them to respect our wishes,’’ Hung wrote. ``My feelings are that it cheapens her life and all she suffered, for ratings and profit.’’

Hung further called on blog readers to write Egenel Pierre, the producer she said had refused to cancel the show.

She also said she had posted a message on the NBC Facebook page ask-

ing them to stop the production of Stefanie’s story and urged people to add ``likes’’ and comments.

At the same time, Hung wrote that she didn’t want her blog posting sent to any news media. Instead, she asked people to ``simply and quietly’’ shun the production in hopes that NBC would move on to another story.

Hung said Tuesday she regretted going public with her pleas. ``I did make a very grave error in posting the information,’’ she said. ``I have learned a lesson, that’s for sure.’’

Evidence was that 15-year-old Melissa Todorovic considered Stefanie — someone she had never met — to be a rival and spent months goading her boyfriend, David Bagshaw, 17, to kill her by threatening to withhold sex from him.

Bagshaw finally succumbed, luring Stefanie from her home, stabbing her six times with a butcher’s knife, and leaving her to bleed to death in the snow. ``The re-enactment of her death, should any of her siblings see it, now or in re-runs, would be more than upsetting,’’ Hung said in her blog.

Ten-year old Adele Anhalt inspects the mouth of a model of a dinosaur in the exhibition ‘World of Dinosaurs’ in Hohenfelden near Erfurt, central Germany, Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2012. From Sept. 15 up to the Nov. 4, 2012 the exhibition shows 65 models of 56 species of dinosaurs reproduced under scientific instructions in natural size. Among them are stegosaurs, diplodocus, triceratops, archaeopteryx, tyrannosaur, and other representatives of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Ex-con lobbies for needle exchange Bruce Cheadle Canadian Press

OTTAWA — A former prisoner infected with hepatitis C is suing the federal government over its refusal to allow cleanneedle exchanges inside prisons.

Steven Simons, who served 12 years behind bars, has the backing of several HIV/AIDS advocacy organizations in a

suit that names Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, the Correctional Service of Canada and its commissioner.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, argues the government has arbitrarily disregarded the health evidence on needle exchanges in prisons. ``The absolute prohi-

bition on sterile injection equipment is arbitrary, over broad and grossly disproportionate to the legitimate objective of curtailing the use of illicit drugs within the correctional system,’’ says the 13-page application.

It says the policy disproportionately jeopardizes the liberty and health of the disabled — in this case people suf-

fering from drug addiction.

And it wants a court injunction forcing the creation of a needle exchange program in Canada’s prisons.

Toews and his officials quickly dismissed the lawsuit, while stating for the record that they could not comment on a specific case before the courts.

Dead U.S. inmate suspect in Highway of Tears killing C anadian Press

SURREY, B.C. — RCMP say they believe a deceased Oregon inmate is responsible for at least one of the murders in British Columbia’s socalled Highway of Tears investigation.

Bobby Jack Fowler is believed to have murdered 16-year-old Colleen MacMillen in August 1974. She last seen leaving home to hitchhike to visit a friend near Lac La Hache, about 300 kilometres south of Prince George in northern B.C. Although Fowler is also believed to have been responsible for at least two other murders and potentially more, police say they know he isn’t the sole culprit involved in the disappearances and killings of 18 women in the region of the dreaded stretch of isolated roadway.

``Will we solve the remaining 17? I’m not certain,’’ said Insp. Gary Shinkaruk, one of the lead investigators with the RCMP’s E-Pana probe.

Shinkaruk said Tuesday that in two other E-Pana cases, police have isolated the DNA of two separate offenders, both now dead. Shinkaruk did not name them.

He said police have very strong persons of interest in a few other files, but are not yet able to bring evidence forward.

Police say Fowler was a transient labourer with a long criminal record for violent offences in the United States and that he worked in Prince George in the 1970s as a roofer and labourer.

Fowler died in 2006 in an Oregon prison, where he was serving time for kidnapping

and attempting to rape a woman.

The news of his DNA being linked to MacMillen was bittersweet for her family. ``Although this is a somewhat unsatisfactory result because this individual won’t have to stand trial for what he did, we are comforted by the fact that he was in prison when he died and that he can’t hurt anyone else,’’ MacMillen’s brother Shawn said at a news conference.

Shinkaruk said DNA samples from the MacMillen case were sent for re-testing in 2007 and the profile of an unidentified man turned up.

A link with Fowler was found earlier this year after the samples were matched against Interpol’s data bank.

Shinkaruk brushed aside suggestions that police

should have considered Fowler as a suspect earlier.

He noted Fowler does not have a criminal record in Canada and although the police work done on the file at the time of the murder was excellent, policing techniques and science have evolved considerably.

As well, he said records of people travelling back and forth across the border before the terrorist attacks in Sept.

11, 2001 are considerably less helpful than those after the attacks. ``We have not been able to find (Fowler) in Canada.

We’ve sent his fingerprints to Ottawa to see if he was living in a assumed name,’’ Shinkaruk said, but nothing came up. ``Without the assistance of DNA, we would not have been able to solve this.’’

Bobby Jack Fowler is shown in this 1995 booking photo taken in Newport, Oregon. An Oregon prosecutor says officers are also looking at Fowler, who died in prison six years ago, in the killings of four teenage girls along the Oregon coast in the 1990s.

Obama calls on world to confront Middle East turmoil Ben Feller Associated Press

President Barack Obama challenged the international community Tuesday to confront the causes of turmoil in the Middle East, saying the attacks on U.S. citizens in Libya ``were attacks on America’’ and the world faces ``a choice between the forces that would drive us apart and the hopes we hold in common.’’

Obama’s speech to an annual gathering of world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly was his last before the November election, and campaign politics shadowed his words as he also spoke forcefully on Iran’s nuclear program, the violence in Syria, the peace prospects between Israelis and Palestinians and the tensions that can come with freedom of speech. ``I do believe that it is the obligation of all leaders, in all countries, to speak out forcefully against violence and extremism,’’ Obama said.

The president condemned the amateur anti-Muslim video made in the U.S. that helped spark the recent protests that killed dozens of people, including the U.S.

ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, calling it ``cruel and disgusting.’’ ``There is no speech that justifies mindless violence,’’ Obama said.

But he strongly defended the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of the freedom of expression, ``even views that we profoundly disagree with.’’

The foreign minister of Indonesia, the nation with world’s largest Muslim population, said Obama’s speech was a ``clarion call’’ for all nations to shun intolerance, and he expected Muslim nations to react positively.

Obama also warned that the time to peacefully curb the Iranian nuclear crisis is running out. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, but fears that it is pursuing nuclear weapons have led Israel to threaten an attack.

Obama said there is ``still time and space’’ to resolve the issue through diplomacy, but he said that time is not unlimited. ``Make no mistake: A nuclear-armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations and the

No-fly zone breached ahead of Obama speech ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Two fighter jets scrambled Tuesday after two small aircraft violated airspace restrictions in place for the U.N. General Assembly gathering of world leaders close to the time President Barack Obama was speaking.

North American Aerospace Defence Command spokesman John Cornelio said the F-22s intercepted the small planes during two separate incidents over New Jersey around 11 a.m. (1500 GMT). unraveling of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty,’’ he said.

Obama told the U.N.: ``Among Israelis and Palestinians, the future must not belong to those who turn their backs on the prospect of

The Federal Aviation Administration said the pilots did not radio for permission to enter the airspace. It took one plane 20 minutes to exit and the other 14 minutes.

They were forced to land at Central Jersey Regional Airport.

The FAA will investigate before deciding whether to punish the pilots.

FAA spokesman Jim Peters said the temporary nofly zones were established around the New York City area because of the U.N. meeting. peace.’’

Obama mentioned the slain U.S. ambassador several times in his address and said the United States ``will be relentless in tracking down the killers and bringing them to justice.’’

Dolphin birth captured on film Oskar Garcia Associated Press

HONOLULU — A 12-year-old dolphin at a Hawaii resort has given birth to a female calf that seems to instantly recognize her mother in a video of the birth posted online.

Footage of last week’s birth on the Big Island shows the baby dolphin’s tail moments before she emerges from her mother. Once she is born, she shoots up to the water’s surface to take her first breath, then quickly swims alongside her mother.

The birth occurred in a manmade lagoon at Dolphin Quest Hawaii at the Hilton Waikoloa Village, where visitors can touch and swim with the marine mammals.

Resort officials will monitor the baby around the clock for now, as its first 30 days of life are its most critical in terms of survival, said Julie Rocho-Levine, manager of marine animals for Dolphin Quest. Trainers will closely note when the baby nurses, among other things, she told The Associated Press on Monday.

Einstein’s brain: there’s an app for that C arl a K. Johnson Associated Press

AP Photo/Dolphin Quest Hawaii

This undated photo provided courtesy of Dolphin Quest Hawaii shows Keo receiving an ultrasound.

Officials say it’s the first calf for the mother, Keo. ``I’m a mom myself, so I feel like I was able to appreciate her just calm, relaxed nature throughout the whole entire situation,’’ said RochoLevine, who was there for the birth.

``It seemed as though she (Keo) was seeking out that human companionship and finding comfort in the people she knows and spends her days with,’’ she said.

Keo was calm enough to allow veterinarians to perform an ultrasound during labour.

Dolphin Quest officials plan to wait to name the baby until after its first month of life.

The rate of survival for babies of first-time mother dolphins in the wild is about 50 per cent, Rocho-Levine said. But that rate is much higher for dolphins born with

access to top-notch care from humans, she said.

Marilee Menard, executive director of the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums, said 70 per cent of the dolphins in accredited facilities in North America were born in a zoo or aquarium.

CHICAGO — While Albert Einstein’s genius isn’t included, an exclusive iPad application launched Tuesday promises to make detailed images of his brain more accessible to scientists than ever before.

The application will allow researchers and novices to peer into the eccentric Nobel winner’s brain as if they were looking through a microscope. A medical museum under development in Chicago obtained funding to scan and digitize nearly 350 fragile and priceless slides made from slices of Einstein’s brain after his death in 1955. ``I can’t wait to find out what they’ll discover,’’ said Steve Landers, a consultant for the National Museum of Health and Medicine Chicago who designed the app.

After Einstein died, a pathologist named

Thomas Harvey performed an autopsy, removing his brain in hopes that future researchers could discover the secrets behind his genius.

Harvey gave samples to researchers and collaborated on a 1999 study published in the Lancet. That study showed a region of Einstein’s brain — the parietal lobe — was 15 per cent wider than normal.

The parietal lobe is important to the understanding of math, language and spatial relationships.

The new iPad app may allow researchers to dig even deeper by looking for brain regions where the neurons are more densely connected than normal.

But because the tissue was preserved before modern imaging technology, it may be difficult for scientists to figure out exactly where in Einstein’s brain each slide originated.
