In our special supplement welcoming the return of the Kootenay Ice to Western Financial Place for the Home Opener Weekend, the dates in the banner at the top of the pages stated the games were to be played Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28th and 29th. The correct days are actually Friday and Saturday (though the 28 and 29 remain true and correct). The Townsman/ Bulletin apologizes for the calendrical curiosity. So head on down to Western Financial Place Friday and Saturday, hockey fans, and go Ice go.

Fall Fair booths sold out inside C AROLYN GR ANT bulletin@cyberlink.ca

The Kimberley Community Fall Fair is always a success and each year the number of people who attend increases. As those numbers increase, the number of exhibitors rises as well as small and large businesses seek to tempt fair-goers with their wares. Chair Bev Middlebrook says she has exhibitors from as far away as Moose Jaw, Sask. and Vancouver booked for this weekend’s big event —part of a sold out array of booths at the Marysville Arena. Events inside sold out two weeks before the Fair, but Middlebrook will be selling space outside right up until Friday. Middlebrook says there are lots of new booths as well as the favourite regulars, lots of food booths inside and out, plenty of kids’ activities in the Kiddies Corner, and an outdoor beverage garden. It all happens this weekend, Saturday and Sunday at the Marysville Arena. “It’s going to be another great year,” Middlebrook said.

Dr. Goodall to leave a lasting legacy of education Dr. Jane Goodall will meet with students and educators to launch her Roots and Shoots program in Cranbrook Annalee Gr ant 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 Columbia 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 preparing,” 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.
