Downed bear used to make kids aware

A bear that was destroyed in Cranbrook on October 12 was turned into a mobile classroom for local students Annalee Grant Townsman Staff

A bear that was destroyed by conservation officers turned into a mobile learning opportunity for Gordon Terrace Elementary students on October 12.

Shaunna McInnis, co-ordinator of East Kootenay Wildlife Aware, said the bear was shot and then taken to the school where she happened to be teaching Wildlife Aware to the kindergarten and Grade 1 students. While it was sad to see the bear having to be put down, McInnis said the students got a unique classroom experience.

“It was a really awesome opportunity,” she said.

The students were given the option of sitting out the field lesson, but McInnis said all opted in. The downed bear brought up many great questions and interest from the students, and it steeled their drive to do something about it.

“The kids I talked to after were really keen to know how to prevent it,” she said. “It was an awesome learning opportunity.”

There are only a few more weeks before the bears head to hibernate for the winter, but conservation officers are seeing their calls to deal with wayward bruins spike.

Man arrested with $16,000 worth of pot Townsman Staff

A Calgary man was caught carrying marijuana near Cranbrook and arrested last weekend.

On Saturday, October 7, two members of the Cranbrook RCMP were conducting speed enforcement on Highway 3/93 just

north of Cranbrook when they pulled a vehicle over travelling in excess of 130 kilometres an hour.

A 29-year-old male was the only occupant in the vehicle and a search of the vehicle located more than four kilograms of packaged marijuana with an esti-

CRANBROOK

ROSWELL, N.M. _ Austrian extreme athlete Felix Baumgartner landed gracefully on Earth Sunday after a 24mile (38.6-kilometre) jump from the stratosphere in a dramatic, record-breaking feat that marked the world’s first supersonic skydive.

Baumgartner came down in the eastern New Mexico desert about nine minutes after jumping from his capsule 128,097 feet (39,044 metres), or roughly 24 miles (38.62 kilometres), above Earth. He lifted his arms in victory shortly after landing, setting off loud cheers from jubilant onlookers and friends inside the mission’s control centre in Roswell, New Mexico.

“Sometimes we have to get really high to see how small we are,’’ an exuberant Baumgartner told reporters outside mission control, shortly after completing the jump. He was expected to offer more remarks at an afternoon news conference.

The altitude he leapt from marked the highest-ever for a skydiver.

Organizers said the descent lasted for just over nine minutes, about half of it in free-fall.

Officials say that Baumgartner has become the first skydiver to break the speed of sound.

Three hours earlier, Baumgartner, known as “Fearless Felix,’’ had taken off in a pressurized capsule carried by a

55-storey ultra-thin helium balloon. After an at-times tense ascent, which included concerns about how well his facial shield was working, the 43-yearold former military parachutist completed a final safety check-list with mission control.

As he exited his capsule from high above Earth, he flashed a thumbs-up sign, well aware that the feat was being shown on a livestream on the Internet with a 20-second delay.

During the ensuing jump – from more than three times the height of the average cruising altitude for jetliners – Baumgartner reached a maximum speed of 833.9 mph (1,342 kph).

That amounts to Mach 1.24, which is faster than the speed of sound. No one has ever reached that speed wearing only a hightech suit.

Any contact with the capsule on his exit could have torn his pressurized suit, a rip that could expose him to a lack of oxygen and temperatures as low as minus 57 degrees Celsius. That could have caused lethal bubbles to form in his bodily fluids.

But none of that happened. He activated his parachute as he neared Earth, gently gliding into the desert east of Roswell and landing without any apparent difficulty.

The images triggered another loud cheer from onlookers at mission control, among them his mother, Eva

Baumgartner, who was overcome with emotion, crying.

He then was taken by helicopter to meet fellow members of his team, whom he hugged in celebration.

At Baumgartner’s insistence, some 30 cameras on the capsule, the ground and a helicopter recorded the event Sunday. While it had been pegged as a live broadcast, organizers said it was actually under a 20-second delay in case of a tragic accident.

Baumgartner’s team included Joe Kittinger, who first attempted to break the sound barrier from 19.5 miles (31.4 kilometres) up in 1960, reaching a speed of 614 mph (988 kph), just under the sound barrier.

With Kittinger inside mission control Sunday, the two men could be heard going over technical details during the ascension.

“Our guardian angel will take care of you,’’ Kittinger radioed to Baumgartner around the 100,000-foot mark.

Kittinger noted that it was getting “really serious’’ now.

As Baumgartner ascended in the balloon, so did the number of viewers watching on YouTube. Nearly 7.3 million watched as he sat on the edge of the capsule moments before jumping.

Baumgartner has said he plans to settle down with his girlfriend and fly helicopters on mountain rescue and firefighting missions in the U.S. and Austria.

Less berries means more bears in town Continued from page 1

CO Joe Caravetta said there is a weak berry crop this year that is sending bears into town, providing for more human/bear conflict.

“There’s been an increase in the number of bears around the peripheral areas of Cranbrook,” he said.

While Caravetta couldn’t confirm how many bear incidents he and his fellow officers have attended to, he said there’s definitely a higher average.

However the solution to keep bears from having to be destroyed is short and sweet, just like the berry crop this year: “No attractants, no bears,” Caravetta said. “It’s a simple concept.”

“We’re really asking people to be extra dilligent,” he continued.

That means residents need to make sure their garbage, fruit trees and pet food are all secured and not left out for bears to get into. There isn’t much time before the bears head to their dens for the winter to hibernate, and Caravetta hopes humans and bears can get along until then.

“The bears are within a couple weeks of hibernating,” he said. “I know garbage has to be put out but we’re asking that they not put it out the night before.”

COs do not destroy bears unless it’s absolutely necessary, as it was on October 12 when the bear wandered into a local yard near Parkland Middle School.

Caravetta said COs were called recently when a grizzly bear was lurking on the edge of Cranbrook. That bear moved along on its own but was closely monitored by COs until the situation dissipated.

McInnis said there’s been significant activity in the Jimsmith Lake area, and they also remain around T.M. Roberts and Gordon Terrace elementary schools and in the community forest.

Caravetta said bears that show unusual behaviour like being active in the middle of town in the middle of the day are a safety risk.

“We’re destroying bears that are showing aggression and showing abnormal bear behaviour,” he said.

It’s been a busy season for bear calls, but Caravetta stopped short of calling it an abnormal year.

“It’s higher than average,” he said.

“It’s not insane crazy.”

Living in Cranbrook, Caravetta said bear sightings happen all the time but with the right preparation conflicts can be avoided.

“Remove attractants. It’s not uncommon to see bears – we live in bear country.”

Bears that are hanging around and not moving on after attractants have been removed should be reported to the CO line at 1-877-952-7277.

“There’s an expectation that the public needs to do things themselves to prevent the bears from hanging around,” Caravetta said.

McInnis will be doing a free Wildlife Aware presentation for the public on October 24 at the Manual Training School at 7 p.m. The presentation will discuss deer and bears.

For more information on East Kootenay Wildlife Aware visit their Facebook page or to request a presentation, call McInnis at (250) 5200411.

Mother of Robert Dziekanski mourns son five years after his death C anadian Press

VANCOUVER – It’s been five years since Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski died after police zapped him with a Taser at Vancouver International Airport.

His mother, Zofia Cisowski, has gone to place candles and flowers in the exact location where her son died in 2007.

She says she and her son had spent seven years planning his move to Kamloops, B.C., where he was to live with her, but all those dreams were destroyed.

Cisowski is now part of an advocacy group organized by family members and friends of people injured or killed by police.

She says she’s heartened to learn of a report showing police have reduced Taser use in B.C. by 87 per cent since her son died.

Dziekanski, who did not speak English, was shocked with a Taser

by RCMP who spotted him displaying erratic behaviour after he became lost for hours in the international arrivals area of the airport.

A remarkable success story, born in the US, is moving north of the border to take root in the City of Cranbrook thanks to the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce.

The Retail Committee of the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce is looking to implement the 10 Percent Initiative in Cranbrook over the next two years.

To kick off the education and awareness campaign, the Chamber, in partnership with the Columbia Basin Trust, the College of the Rockies and a number of local businesses, are hosting Kathy Callies from Howard, South Dakota, who was involved in the initiative since its inception, to

“The 10 Per Cent Initiative encourages all of us to spend money here at home.

Local business people, who are also our neighbours, then reinvest that money in our community in many ways” Wayne Stetski speak in Cranbrook on October 16 and 17.

“This was a story I came across in a book I was reading,” said Connor Stewart, Chair of the Cranbrook and District Chamber of Commerce Retail Committee.

“It caught my attention right away as it completely related to a

number of things we were beginning to investigate. I am very excited to have Kathy come to speak to our community and tell the story in more depth. It is simple, it has been proven to work and it includes absolutely everyone in the community – no one is excluded from the benefits this initiative can bring to a community.”

Born in the community of Howard, South Dakota in 1995, a group of high school students were trying to find ways to stop the out migration of people, jobs and money and revive their dying community.

After much work and research, students presented their recommendations to the public and leaders in the

County and also provided one simple, surprising fact: if the residents of Howard spent just 10 per cent more of their disposable income at home, they would boost the local economy by $7 million.

Locals responded and one year later South Dakota’s Department of Revenue released a shocking number – the amount of money spent in Minor County had increased by $15.6 million, more than double the increase the students had expected.

“It is often the simple ideas that have the most impact in life,” said Mayor Wayne Stetski.

“The 10 Per Cent initiative encourages all of us to spend money here at home. Local business people, who are also our

neighbours, then reinvest that money in our community in many ways. I applaud Connor Stewart and the Chambers’ Retail Committee for bringing this concept to Cranbrook and encourage all citizens to participate.”

This initiative also ties into all four pillars that support our entire community as identified by the Cranbrook Connected document.

Kathy Callies will be making a presentation targeting youth at the College of the Rockies Lecture Theatre on Tuesday October 15, 2012 at 7 p.m.

Her second presentation will be at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon on October 17, 2012 at noon at the Prestige Inn, as part of Small Business Week.

MPs to debate anti-bullying motion Natalie Stechyson Postmedia News

OTTAWA – Canada’s MPs will debate a private member’s motion to develop a national bullying prevention strategy when they return to the House of Commons on Monday.

The motion, to be discussed so soon after B.C. teenager Amanda Todd’s apparent suicide after years of torment from bullies, is sure to garner attention, and NDP MP Dany Morin said he hopes that parliamentarians will put

partisanship aside and move forward on his proposal.

The first step toward preventing bullying must be to study the prevalence and the impacts of it in Canada, Morin told CTV’s Question Period on Sunday.

And looking at criminalizing cyber-bullying - a suggestion made by B.C. Premier Christy Clark just after Todd’s death - is not the answer, Morin said.

“I was bullied as a teenager. I know firsthand what bullying really is like,” said Morin,

the MP for ChicoutimiLe Fjord.

“When the harm has been done, when a kid has been bullied for months, for years, bringing criminal charges to the bully will not solve the problem.

The harm has been done. That is why I want the special committee to focus on prevention.”

Todd, 15, was found dead in a Port Coquitlam home last Wednesday - five weeks after posting a YouTube video outlining the abuse she endured

both online and in person. The video has since gone viral and Todd’s story has made international headlines.

The RCMP has launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.

“Unfortunately, there’s been a lot of media attention towards my motion due to Amanda Todd’s passing,” Morin said Sunday.

Morin’s motion, M-385, calls for the creation of a special

12-member, all-party committee to develop a national bullying prevention strategy.

The committee would be tasked with studying the prevalence and impacts of different types of bullying, identifying and adopting a range of anti-bullying best practices, promoting and spreading information to Canadian families, and providing support for organizations that work with young people “to promote positive and safe environments,” according to the motion.

Ottawa probes report of Canadian kidnapped in Afghanistan Dougl as Quan Postmedia News

A Canadian man and an American woman, both civilians, have reportedly been abducted by gunmen in Afghanistan.

Citing anonymous sources, a media report from that country†indicated the pair was kidnapped while travelling from eastern Ghazni province to the capital, Kabul.

Afghan government officials have not yet commented on the incident, said the report by Khaama Press.

Another report by Pajhwok Afghan News said the pair was kidnapped while travelling in a car on the Kabul-Ghazni highway.

Amanda Reid, a spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa, said Friday that the government was aware of the alleged kidnapping.

“We are pursuing all appropriate channels to seek further information and are in close contact with Afghan authorities,” she said.

An official with the U.S. State Department said American authorities were also trying to get further information from their Af-

ghan counterparts.

In November 2010, Colin Rutherford, a 26-year-old Canadian from Toronto, was kidnapped by the Taliban while on a two-week vacation in Afghanistan. Insurgents alleged he had been collecting secret information.

In May 2011, Rutherford’s captors released a video of him in which he said he was in the country as a tourist. He said he was interested in its history and historical sites.

He has not been heard from since.

Chrystiane Roy, another Foreign Affairs spokeswoman, said Friday officials continue to monitor the Rutherford case and are in contact with the family.

“We are very limited in what we can say in order not to compromise the safety of this Canadian hostage,” she said.

In the fall of 2008, CBC journalist Mellissa Fung was kidnapped while reporting from a refugee camp outside of Kabul.

She was released a month later after negotiations with her kidnappers.

The Foreign Affairs department website warns Canadians against all travel to Afghanistan.

There is an “extreme risk” of foreign nationals being kidnapped throughout the country, the website states.

“Kidnapping for ransom has become a very lucrative market.”

The ability to negotiate with kidnappers depends on how well-organized they are and whether they’re doing it for money or for political purposes, said Gar Pardy, former directorgeneral of the Foreign Affairs department’s consular affairs bureau.

Those who are motivated by politics may be inclined to hold someone for the “long haul,” he said.

Canada is currently part of a multi-nation rebuilding effort in the war-ravaged country, assisting with the training of Afghan National Security Forces, the development of health and education programs and delivery of humanitarian assistance.

Officials say there are currently just under 200 Canadians registered in Afghanistan.

Three dead after crash on Vancouver Island highway C anadian Press

VICTORIA – Three people are dead after a crash on a Vancouver Island highway.

A spokeswoman for the BC Coroners Service says at least two vehicles collided between 11 a.m. and noon, on the Malahat Highway northwest of Victoria.

Barb McLintock says it appears five other people were injured, including at least two who had very serious injuries and were flown to a hospital in Victoria.

She says investigators are on the scene and although there’s no indication yet what caused the

crash, there was a torrential downpour in nearby Victoria at the time.

She doesn’t yet know anything about the victims’ identities.

A provincial driving report indicates the highway near Shawnigan Lake has been shut in both directions.

Homeless people in Cranbrook will have somewhere warm to stay this winter, after the provincial government provided $71,000 to the Salvation Army.

To mark Homelessness Action Week, B.C. Housing has sent the funding that will allow the Salvation Army to house a dozen men and women at its centre in Cranbrook throughout the winter.

Starting on November 1, the shelters will open for men, women and families. Men will be housed in the Salvation Army dining room, women in the church sanctuary. Families with children will be given private accommodation.

“A warm place to spend the night is a basic need that each person should be able to have. This year we are setting up the shelter so that we can provide the service for men, women, and children, offering a separate, secure area where they can feel safe and welcome. The provincial funding announcement to confirm we can proceed with our plans is a significant way to mark Homelessness Action Week this year in Cranbrook,” said Captain Kirk Green, Salvation Army Cranbrook.

Amanda’s virtual world collided with aimed at young girls and women. Nor is it her real one. She was literally exposed to surprising that pedophiles prowl online everyone she knew by someone. A boy? A chat rooms, hunting for prey.

The only thing Amanda knew was this: Centre’s last survey of B.C. adolescents’ “I can never get that photo back. It’s out health in 2008.

Nearly one in five also reported extreme there forever.”

Among the many complicated threads levels of stress in the previous month.

There’s also a caution about a copy-cat effect buried in the McCreary numbers that ought to be heeded after Amanda Todd’s highly publicized death. Within a year of a close friend or family member attempting or committing suicide, youths are six times more likely to attempt it themselves.

There is some comfort to be found in the prospect that Amanda’s video and her death may raise awareness about the many risks facing young people. But that’s not enough. There needs to be help readily available to them.

There also needs to be justice.

The unnamed “he” on Amanda’s video — who convinced her to “flash” for the webcam, then relentlessly tracked and intimidated her — needs to be found and punished.

But he’s not alone. There were other tormentors who taunted her. Alienated her. Physically abused her.

They are responsible for Amanda’s arms being scarred from too many cuts. A cruel gang of kids beat her.

They led her to drink bleach and then mocked her for not drinking enough, for not having used the right brand, for not having died.

They sucked the life out of her until she could bear it no longer. It’s little different from the swarm of Victoria teens — seven girls and one boy — who murdered 14-year-old Reena Virk in 1997.

We shouldn’t trivialize what they did to Amanda by calling them bullies, even if all are adolescents themselves.

They need to be named for what they really are: Tormentors, torturers, and maybe even murderers.

And they need to be brought to account.

KOOTENAY ICE

Ice earn victories against Blades, Oil Kings TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The Kootenay Ice put themselves back in the win column this weekend, beating the Saskatoon Blades 4-3 on Friday and shutting out the Edmonton Oil Kings 1-0 on Sunday.

The two victories snaps the Ice’s threegame losing streak as the team noticeably tightened up their defensive game, while goaltender Mackenzie Skapski was sharp in both games.

It was also a bit of a statement, as the Blades are hosting the Memorial Cup this year and are looking to build a strong team, while the Oil Kings are the defending WHL champions.

“It’s a nice feeling,” said Ice defenceman Joey Leach. “We had a slow start [to the season], and it’s nice to be able to put a weekend together with two wins, it builds everyone’s confidence up and gets everything put into motion.

“We’ve come together as a complete team.”

Brock Montgomery scored the game-winning goal against the Blades, while Collin Shirley was the lone goal scorer for the Ice against the Oil Kings.

Montgomery opened the scoring against the Blades on a bit of a lucky break just after the halfway mark of the first period on Friday.

The 20-year-old power forward threw the puck on net as he crossed into the offensive zone, which rebounded off goalie An-

drey Makarov’s chest and deflected off a defender into the net.

Jagger Dirk doubled the Kootenay lead on a power play with two minutes to go in the frame, wristing a shot from the blue line that beat the Blades’ net minder.

The opening 20 minutes was the best start the Ice have had this season, and the two goal lead by the end was a reward for their offensive and defensive efforts.

“One big thing for us as a D-corps and as a team is having good sticks in the defensive zone and today, we didn’t let them have anything, we didn’t give them a sniff near our net,” said Ice defenseman Tanner Muth. “The goals that they scored were some nice shots, but we played a really tight game.”

The Blades collectively woke up the second period, and Josh Nicholls cut the deficit in half, getting a tip on a shot from Kyle Schmidt.

Nicholls got his second of the night in the third period, as some strong cycle work translated into a goal when the Blades’ sniper received a pass and snapped in a shot from the slot.

Sam Reinhart broke the tie when he picked up the garbage in front of Makarov seven minutes later, but Saskatoon tied up the game again with a goal from Shane McColgan at 15:16 of the final frame.

However, Montgom-

“It was a great feeling for sure,” said Montgom-

ery. “When a team puts in a full 60 minutes like that and our goalie keeps us in it all game — to put the boys ahead like that is a great feeling.”

The result was the fifth straight loss for the Blades, the franchise

that just so happens to be hosting the Memorial Cup this year.

“When you lose games on the road like this, it becomes a mental block and I thought tonight that we had a really solid effort and it didn’t

go our way tonight,” said Blades forward Adam Kambeitz. “I think we just need to keep staying positive in the dressing room and just keep working our butts off and and I think we’re bound to get through this.”

The Ice rode that win into Sunday evening with a tight 1-0 win over the Edmonton Oil Kings.

The defending WHL champions beat Kootenay in all six regular-season meetings last year and swept them out of the first round of the playoffs.

Edmonton had some discipline problems, as the Ice had eight power play chances, but the Oil Kings killed them all Kootenay, in turn, shut the door on three separate penalties.

It was a tight defensive game that opened with a scoreless first period.

Both teams traded quality chances; Levi Cable rushed through the neutral zone, splitting Edmonton’s defence, but goaltender Tristan Jarry made the save, while Skapski replied with a great stop on T.J. Foster in the slot.

Ice captain Drew Czerwonka rang the puck off the post on a power play late in the frame.

The chances kept coming in the second period, as both teams stayed defensively sharp.

Skapski made the save of the game when he denied Edmonton’s Curtis Lazar on a shorthanded breakaway and stopped the ensuing re-

bound from Henrik Samuelsson.

The Ice thought they’d scored a goal during a scramble in the crease as a bunch of blue and black jerseys rushed Jarry, but the goal lamp never lit and the ref waved the play on.

The Ice pulled ahead late in the frame when Collin Shirley broke in to the zone and roofed a shot stop corner over Jarry’s blocker.

The Oil Kings got a little more aggressive in the third period as they tried to find the equalizer, but penalties and sharp play from the Ice, kept them off the scoresheet.

“I’m feeling really good and looking forward to keeping this going,” said Skapski, of his efforts that earned the shutout.

“My job is to stop the puck but my team did a fabulous job this weekend just making little adjustments and we’re really buying into the system.”

Notes: Jon Martin returned to the lineup on Sunday from his threegame suspension for a line brawl a week ago against the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Zach Pochiro, of the Prince George Cougars, was handed a three-game suspension by the WHL for his check from behind on Ice defenseman Tanner Faith when the two teams met last Wednesday. Faith was able to leave the ice on his own power and played in Friday’s match against the Blades.

NY Yankees struggle after losing Derek Jeter to broken ankle RONALD BLUM Associated Press

NEW YORK _ A player stood at shortstop at Yankee Stadium, yet the shortstop was missing.

For 16 years and 158 consecutive games, Derek Jeter had been in the New York Yankees’ post-season lineup, the Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripken of October.

“When you think of post-season, you think of Derek Jeter,’’ Detroit manager Jim Leyland

said.

And now Jeter was absent for Game 2 of the AL championship series against the Tigers on Sunday, off undergoing tests after his left ankle cracked during another stressful moment in another sapping game. Taking the captain’s place was Jayson Nix. Jeter’s body gave out Saturday on one of those autumn nights that has defined him, transformed him from a

strong-willed student to revered statesman.

Trailing the Tigers one game to none, the Yankees faced the troublesome task of regrouping without their longtime leader.

First Mariano Rivera, whose knee tore during batting practice in May. Then Jeter.

Not since Game 6 of the 1981 World Series had the Yankees played in the post-season without both Jeter and Rivera

“We had to move on from a lot of different things this year,’’ manager Joe Girardi said.

“We’ve lost the greatest closer of all-time, where people left us for dead.

People left us for dead in August and September, said we were panicking.

And we laughed at it, and we said no, we’re going to be fine. We won more games in the American League than anyone.’’

Moving on minus the slumping Alex Rodri-

guez, the Yankees did that.

But this is Jeter, as much a part of Yankee Stadium as the pinstripes, monuments and 27 World Series banners.

Not since rookie Mickey Mantle’s knee buckled during Game 2 of the 1951 World Series had such an integral part of the team gotten hurt so severely during a postseason game.

Jeter had scans Sunday, which confirmed

the fracture. He was in a splint and on crutches, and will soon see foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C.

Jeter will not accompany the Yankees to Detroit, and his recovery is expected to take three months.

Athletes represent hometown in weekend boxing event Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Fists were flying at the Eagles Hall on Saturday night, as 11 bouts featuring local and regional talent met for fights in the ring.

The Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club hosted the event, which featured four member boxers on the card, as Shannon Ryan, Tyler Gallinger, Leah Savorie and Colin Adams represented their hometown.

The main event featured Canadian champion Kenny Lally earning a unanimous decision over Kenny Guzman, a state champion out of the Flathead in Montana.

The fight of the night went to Jag Seehra out of Prince George, who fought Parul Ahlawat, from came in from Edmonton. Ahlawat won by a unanimous decision after the two went to war right from the opening bell in the first round.

Overall, Eagles Boxing Club coach Bill Watson chalks the night up to a big success.

“There was 22 boxers that I had on paper for matches and 22 of them showed up so I’m very, very happy,” said Watson. “And then to see the fan support that we got that night, that was just the icing on the cake.”

The Rumble in the Rockies opened with a bout between Ryan and Sophie Joern in the female novice youth cate-

gory.

It was Ryan’s first fight, while Joern already had some ring experience under her belt, as well as a height and weight advantage.

But it was Ryan who ended up getting the unanimous decision after three rounds of some aggressive work that put Joern on her heels.

“At first, my tactic was get in and get to the body because she is taller, she is bigger,” said Ryan.

“Then as the fight started progressing, she was just throwing left jabs and I figured I could get my right in there.”

Ryan came out strong in the first round, while Joern got the upper hand in the second round.

However, Ryan finished with a solid final round to an enthusiastic crowd that was clearly on her side.

“The hometown definitely made it a lot easier,” said Ryan. “I could not have done it without all the support and everyone screaming at me during the fight.”

Tyler Gallinger, another Cranbrook boxer, was fourth up on the card, facing Connor Coldicott out of Lethbridge.

Like Ryan, Gallinger started strong in front of his hometown, taking the fight to Coldicott in the first round.

Gallinger continued to land some hits in the second round, but was

quicker on his feet as Coldicott tried to get himself back into the fight.

Gallinger landed a few big punches in the third round, one of which forced the ref to do a countdown on Coldicott.

In the end, the young Cranbrook boxer earned a unanimous decision.

“Tired,” said Gallinger, on how he felt right after the bout. “My face hurts a lot. I went into the fight—my nose wasn’t fully healed, I don’t know if it was fractured or what, but definitely the pain came back.”

But it’s fair to say he had a blast, even if he was exhausted after it.

“After the first round, I thought I was going to die,” Gallinger said. “The second round was very tiring and the third round it just hit me—I hardly had anything left, but I knew it was the last round and I had to give it all, so I just went as hard as I could.”

Leah Savorie was the sixth fight of the night, and while she gave Mireio Ares Papalia a tough match, her opponent eared the decision.

Savorie had Watson and Tom White, another Eagles Boxing Club coach in the corner with her.

“We ran into a girl who was good, considering she had no previous fights,” said Watson.

“For Leah to lose to somebody like that, it’s

Colin Adams gets the decision during his bout against Colin Pham on Saturday night at the Eagles Hall during a boxing event featuring 11 fights on the card. not a big deal. We’ll take the loss — I told Tom afterwards, I said, ‘Tom, it’s not a loss, it’s a learn.’”

Cranbrook’s Colin Adams fight against Colin Pham was the runner up to the main event, and the hometown boxer scrapped his way to a win against an opponent eight years his senior.

Even though Adams got the win, he said he wasn’t completely satisfied with how he performed.

“I just couldn’t get my rhythm,” said Adams. “I didn’t really box him, I kind of brawled him, and that’s not my style.

“I felt a little out of shape for some reason and I thought I could’ve done better, but I got the W [win] and that’s all that counts.”

The Kimberley Dynamiters swept their weekend home and home series with the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, with a 4-2 road win on Friday and a 3-2 double-OT win at home the following night.

Isaac Schacher was the overtime hero on Saturday, scoring a power play goal in the second extra frame to lift the Nitros to the win.

Dynamiters stopper Jeremy Mousseau stood in goal for both games, stopping 15 shots in Creston, and 31 shots in the Civic Centre on Saturday.

Despite Nitro victories in both games, it was Creston who scored first on both contest.

Trevor Hanna found the back of the net on a shorthanded effort with five seconds remaining in the opening period on Friday.

However, Jared Marchi responded for the Dynamiters less than a minute into the second period.

Kimberley earned the win with a strong final period, off of goals from Isaac Schacher, Adam Hodge and Tyson Klingspohn.

The only answer Creston had was a single goal from Ethan Rusnack with six minutes to go in the game.

The Nitros capital-

ized once in eight chances on the manadvantage, while Creston scored a single marker on the power play in five opportunities.

The T-Cats struck first in their rematch on Saturday in Kimberley, as Darcy Flaherty put Creston ahead four minutes into the game.

However, the Dynamiters came back and took the lead in the following frame off of goals from Sam Nigg and

Marchi.

Creston tied up the game in the final period in the dying seconds as Angus Johnston sent the contest into overtime.

Creston failed to score on any of their five power plays, while Kimberley capitalized twice in four chances.

Mousseau eared the first and second star respectively in both games for his performance between the pipes.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I have been married for 36 years. Eight months ago, I learned that my husband had been calling other women, one in particular, for the past two years. The calls included text messages and pictures.

The woman he was mostly in touch with is someone I know. She is married. My husband would call her multiple times, and each call would last nearly an hour. In addition, they would text each other 40 times during the day.

My husband refuses to explain why he started calling her and will not tell me what they talked about. This has led to some terrible fights. I don’t know what to do. I love my husband very much and was devastated to learn about these calls.

He says they did not have a sexual affair, and I want to believe him. I have gone to counseling. He went once, but when the counselor asked him to talk about the phone calls, he became angry and stomped out. I suggested going to a different counselor, but he says he doesn’t need to.

I have forgiven him, but I am haunted by images of them together. I would like him to respect our marriage enough to tell me the truth, but I have no idea how to get him to open up. Am I being too demanding? -- Lost in the Country Dear Lost: You are not wrong. Your husband doesn’t want to take responsibility for his affair (physical or emotional) and has made you believe that you are not entitled to the truth. But he has an obligation to be completely transparent about his motives and behavior. Since he refuses counseling, please continue on your own and work through this in whatever way is best for you.

Dear Annie: I am really concerned about my husband. He became unemployed at the beginning of this year when we were expecting our second child.

Right now, he is selling cars to get by, but the hours are brutal, and the pay is inconsistent. He went back to school to study computers and network security and applied for a job with a computer company.

This is an exciting opportunity for him.

The company asked to schedule an interview. My husband told them he is busy this time of year, but would be available as soon as he has next month’s schedule and can check the dates. He left his cellphone number for them to contact him, and now we are just waiting. It has only been a few days, but I am so stressed about this. By saying he was busy, did he take himself out of the running for an interview? -- Mrs. Concerned Dear Concerned: No. Your husband should call the company as soon as he knows his schedule. The fact that he is busy with another job could actually work in his favor. There is, of course, a possibility that the company will hire someone else in the meantime, but that could have happened regardless. Concentrate your thoughts on a positive outcome. Good luck.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Kids First,” who took a cruise with her in-laws.

She was upset when she had to leave and discovered that her husband and in-laws went out drinking and took the 12- and 14-year-olds along to watch. I think she should lighten up.

These were adults having a good time on vacation. Also, these kids are not toddlers.

If Mom sits down and talks to her children about her feelings, they will learn to be responsible. She shouldn’t shield them from life. -- D. Dear D.: We agree that the best way to teach your children to hold fast to the moral standards you set is to teach and explain, not avoid and shield. But it helps when those relatives and friends the children look up to do not deliberately undermine the parents.

featureS Birdwatching with the Rocky Mountain Naturalists

Deep in the heart of migration season Da ryl C al der

When Canadians spot migratory ducks and geese, we know that the seasons are changing. But these flocks are just the beginning — over 500 species of migratory birds make Canada their home for part of each year. Migration is the regular seasonal journey undertaken by many bird species.

Movements include those made in response to changes in food availability, habitat or weather.

However, some journeys are not termed ‘true migration’ because they are irregular or in only one direction.

Many bird populations migrate long distances along a ‘flyway’. The most common pattern involves flying north in the spring to breed in the temperate or Arctic summer and returning in the autumn to wintering grounds in warmer regions to the south. Of course, in the Southern Hemisphere the directions are reversed, but there is less land area in the far south to support longdistance migration. The primary motivation for migration appears to be food; for example, some hummingbirds choose not to migrate if fed through the winter.

Also, the longer days of the northern summer provide extended time for breeding birds to feed their young. This helps diurnal (daytime) birds to produce larger clutches than related non-migratory species that remain in the tropics. As the days shorten in autumn, the birds return to warmer regions where the available food supply varies little with the season. These advantages offset the high stress, physical exertion costs, and other risks of the migration such as predation.

Most migrations begin with the birds starting off in a broad front.

Often this front narrows into one or more preferred routes termed ‘flyways’. These routes typically follow mountain ranges or coastlines, sometimes rivers, and may take advantage of updrafts and other wind patterns or avoid geographical barriers such as large stretches of open water. The specific routes may be genetically programmed or learned to varying degrees. The routes taken on forward and return migration are often different. A common pattern in North America is clockwise migration, where birds flying north tend to be further west, and flying south tend to shift eastwards.

Many, if not most, birds migrate in flocks. For larger birds, flying in flocks reduces the energy cost. Geese in a V-formation may conserve 12 – 20% of the energy

Courtesy Daryl Calder

Watching the migration at Elizabeth Lake they would need to fly alone. Birds fly at varying altitudes during migration. Seabirds fly low over water but gain altitude when crossing land, and the reverse pattern is seen in landbirds. However, most migration is in the range of 150m to 600m.

Bird-hit aviation records from the US show most collisions occur below 600m and almost none above 1800m. Bird migration is not limited to birds that can fly. Most species of penguins migrate by swimming along routes that can cover 1000km.

Blue Grouse perform ‘altitudinal’ migration mostly by walking. Emus in Australia have been observed to undertake long-distance movements on foot during droughts.

Unfortunately, many of the world’s migratory birds are in decline; many characteristics of migration render them particularly vulnerable to a variety of threats.

Undertaking such dramatic movements pushes birds to the limit of their endurance. They are reliant on favourable weather conditions and must find sufficient food resources at multiple sites throughout their journey. Along the flyway, important habitats for migrants are under threat from infrastructure and housing development, energy development (mining and drilling for fossil fuels), tropical deforestation and the spread and intensification of agriculture.

Historically, hunting was a major threat to migrating birds along the flyway. It no longer occurs on a catastrophic magnitude but the thousands of lead shotgun pellets fired every year pose a significant hazard to some species of waterfowl and scavenging raptors.

However, well-managed hunting can provide a strong financial incentive for the retentions of natural habitat.

Migrating birds are at risk through collision with man-made structures such as power lines, wind turbines and telecommunication masts. In the face of such a diverse array of threats, the conservation of migratory birds depends on international collaboration and a co-ordinated response along entire flyways. The Rocky Mountain Trench is part of the ‘Pacific Americas Flyway’ which extends along the western flank of North and South America.

Canada’s ‘Important Bird Area’ program, initiated in 1996, is a science-based initiative to identify, conserve and monitor a network of sites that provide essential habitat for Canadian bird populations.

About 11,000 sites in 200 countries presently exist with two sites near Cranbrook. The Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area protects globally and nationally significant populations of waterfowl and con-

gregatory birds; those which form large groups at certain times. Also, the Skookumchuck Prairie IBA helps protect nationally significant populations of ‘threatened’ bird species.

At Elizabeth Lake this week, naturalists enjoyed the antics of the soon-to-migrate Yellow Rumped Warblers. One tall shrub filled with six or eight of the streaky brownand-yellow birds and their distinctive sharp ‘chips’. Spring moult brings a transformation, leaving them a dazzling mix of bright yellow, charcoal gray and black, and bold white. Yellow Rumped Warblers are fairly large, full-bodied warblers with a large head, sturdy bill and long, narrow tail. Weighing less than half an ounce, these birds forage in the outer tree canopies at middle heights and ‘sally’ out to catch insects in mid-air. They cling to the bark surface to look for hidden insects more than many warblers do. Their flight is agile and swift, and the birds often call as they change direction. Their populations are stable or increasing in most areas. Migrating Yellow Rumped Warblers, like many migrants, are frequently killed in collisions with radio towers, buildings and other obstructions.

Zombies awaken!

The living dead came back to life in Cranbrook on Saturday, October 13 for the first Cranbrook Zombie Walk. The undead made their way down Baker Street to Baker Park, raising more than $750 for the Cranbrook Food Bank. Organizers offered thanks to the many businesses that donated prizes and offered their services on the day.
