St. Mary River flotsam a danger to rafters ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

Floating down the river is a ride-at-your-own-risk endeavour, and sometimes Mother Nature can put obstacles in your way. That’s exactly the case for people floating down the St. Mary River recently, said a Wycliffe resident who doesn’t want to be named. She lives near the Wycliffe Rails-To-Trails bridge and said many people floating down the river aren’t prepared for the log jam beneath one of the bridge’s pillars. She’s seen a number of people flipped overboard, many who look like they aren’t wearing lifejackets.

She’s not convinced that anything will end up happening with it. Her husband and a neighbour have been clearing the area for years now and she worries that no one will take their place, as they are getting too old to do it anymore. The log jam is on the southernmost pillar of the bridge. One long log hangs down at an angle. She said the arc of the river pushes the rafters right into the log jam. She just hoped people could be warned before heading into the river. Log jams in the river occur naturally and unless it is threatening a structure, then they will be left.

Andrew McLeod, acting CAO at the Regional District of East Kootenay, confirmed that the regional district has no responsibility over the condition of the river. Over at Just Liquid, Rob Porter agreed that this is an act of nature. “Rafters and kayakers may cut it out but its very unlikely that any other party will take action,” he said. “There is lots of wood in the rivers.” He said that rafters and paddlers need to be cautious, paddle within their experience levels and naviARNE PETRYSHEN PHOTO gate the rivers knowing logs and debris will always Debris caught up at the Rails To Trails bridge over the St. Mary River is proving to be a hazard be a concern. to recreationalists.

Sullivan Challenge bike race this weekend K a i t y B r ow n

A new bike race is coming to Kimberley this weekend, to celebrate the multiple nature trails that Kimberley has to offer. The event will begin at the Nordic Centre, in front of the lodge, with

the races starting right at 9 a.m. Sunday, August 25. “We have such a nice trail between the Nordic trail and the Kimberley Nature Park and I thought it would be good to have a local event, but to also try

and see if we can attract people to come to Kimberley,” said organizer Charlie Cooper. “Riders can expect a really fun course and one that offers a little bit of everything. There are lots of single tracks that have a few bumps

here and there and lots of double tracks that provide a nice break.” The course provides a good balance of elevation, to see beautiful views of the valley, some casual down hills and a few rocks and bumps to keep things exciting.

Calling all ladies! It’s that time of year again to come out and cheer as RCMP officers, and the COTR Avalanche strut their stuff on the runway at the Tamarack Centre. Enjoy a fun-filled evening of entertainment, refreshments, silent auction and games, East Coast Kitchen style! Get your tickets today for the Annual All Male Fashion Show Fundraiser for Cops for Kids at the Tamarack Centre on Wednesday Sept. 11. Doors open at 7 p.m. New this year, purchase limited advance VIP tickets for only $25. VIP ticket holders’ names will be entered into a draw to win door-to-door pick up and to have pre-show appies and drinks with the Cops for Kids crew at Boston Pizza before the show. Four lucky winners will be chosen for the pre-show meet and greet. VIP tickets will only be available till Friday, Sept. 6 until 5 p.m. while quantities last. Get yours today at the Tamarack Centre administration office during office hours. Cash or cheque only. Regular tickets are also available for $10 each. 100 per cent of the proceeds will benefit Cops for Kids who in turn support local kids in need.

Local clubs come together for registration night

Continued from page 1

Around 30 or 40 clubs, businesses and community groups will have a table set up at the Curling Centre from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on September 4, to show what they offer people in Cranbrook. “The advantage is that parents don’t have to go out and track down these organizations to get their children involved,” said Sherri Kearns of Cranbrook’s Leisure Services Department. She added that people aren’t obligated to sign up for anything on the night; they can simply browse, then go away and think about it before they make a decision. “They don’t have to use it as a registration night, but it’s a wonderful opportunity to gather infor-

mation, pick up brochures, ask questions, see demos. That way, when everything is presented together like that, people can make decisions about what they want to register their children in.” So far, tables have been reserved by the Girl Guides and Boy Scouts, 4-H Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Cranbrook and District Arts Council, dance groups, swim clubs, skating clubs, gymnastics club, highland dance groups, and martial arts companies. “There has been as many as 50 in the past, but we are hoping for 30 to 40 this year,” said Kearns. Clubs are charged $10 to register a table; the deadline is August 30, but Kearns said that as long as there is space, Leisure Services will continue to accept table res-

ervations. “It’s a good way for clubs and organizations to get word out about themselves, because they have limited funding to advertise and otherwise get the word out about where they are located and what they have to offer,” she said. The information is not just for children. “There are things for adults too,” said Kearns, adding that she hopes local theatre and performing arts groups will get involved. “It’s for everybody, for sure – youth, teenagers, children, moms, dads – there’s something there for everyone.” For more information or to register a table, contact Leisure Services at 250-489-0220.

The course is a perfect one for riders of any skill level, said Cooper, from casual recreation riders to the more experienced who are looking to push themselves. “The start and finish is at the Nordic Centre, right in front of the lodge. The whole magic line is included in the loop that we have, which is 22 kilometres. They also get down into the Nature Park and get to some nice trails like Shape-Shifter, Southwest Passage, Skid, Duck Pond, Pat Morrow and then they head back up to the cross country trails. These trails have been there for many years.” Contestants can choose to do a single loop of the 22 km trail or a double of 44 km in three different categories: recreational, competitive, and single speed for those who only have one gear on their bike. “This is the first one. One of the reasons it came about was because last year we had a chance to get Iron Man Canada located in the Cranbrook/Kimberley region but un-

fortunately the big tourist destination of Whistler got it. “I got thinking that it would be nice for this area to have even more events, between the Wasa Triathlon and the Round the Mountain, and I just thought it would be a good time for Kimberley to have another bike race.” Sullivan Shakedown offers two youth races for riders age 5-14, with a 3km and 6km option (one or two laps of the same course) on a mixture of single and double tracks at the Kimberley Nordic Centre on Saturday with a start time of 1 p.m. The entry fee is only $5 per participant and will be collected prior to the races. Participants will receive a race bib and snacks and refreshments back at the Nordic Lodge. Pre-registration by email to charlie@ rmevents.com is greatly appreciated for better planning, but new registrants may still be able to sign-up at the event. Response from the community has already been very positive, with 40 contestants

registered and a lineup of volunteers already. “It’s been really good, the response in the last 10 days, families saying that they want to help which is a really good sign because it shows that Kimberley and the community want to support the event,” Cooper said. Cooper explains that although for some these trails are a bestkept-secret of locals to enjoy peace and quiet, they should be showcased and advertised more because for him, they are a big part of Kimberley. Cooper explains that this also serves as a fundraiser to support groups like the Kimberley Nature Park Society and the Kimberley Trails Society with $5 of each entry going towards the groups to maintain and improve the trails. To register for the race, which still has spots available for this upcoming Sunday, go to www.rmevents.com, click register now and sign up before this Friday at midnight at the latest.

Relocated white bear returns to Elkford from wild Angela Treharne Fernie Free Press

Kirsty Anonson

Two female white bears were caught last year in Elkford, earmarked, and relocated up the Elk Valley.

One of the two white bear cubs that were caught in Elkford and relocated last year, has returned. The female white bear, and her sister, were caught last year in Elkford, earmarked, and relocated up the Elk Valley, around 70 km away. One was seen later last year in Kananaksis. Then, on Tuesday morning, conservation officer Frank de Boon

received reports that one had been spotted back in Elkford, on Aspen Crescent and Newgate Crescent. He is not sure whether it is the same bear, but he said he is not surprised to see one of the cubs back in Elkford. “This is why we rarely relocate black bears,” said De Boon. “They often return back to where they came from, or just go somewhere else and get in trouble. “It’s hard to say what will happen to this one. It sounds like she is getting into garbage again. She may be a candidate for the zoo, because she is unusu-

al, but that’s probably her only hope.” The three-year-old bear is not reported to be showing any aggression. Kathy Murray, Fernie WildSafeBC Community Coordinator, said the problem is people not securing their garbage properly. “Garbage collection day is Thursday in Elkford,” she said. “It is crucial that people keep their garbage secured until then. And use a bear proof garbage can. If you don’t have one, the District of Elkford can give you one. Give them call. “This is a really sad situation for this white bear.”

Pot crusader Larsen pans marijuana ticketing idea Jeff Nagel Black Press

A recommendation to let police treat simple marijuana possession as a ticketing offence is being opposed by the head of a provincial campaign to decriminalize pot. Dana Larsen, whose group Sensible BC is set to kick off a petition campaign next month to force a referendum on

marijuana policy, says the new resolution from the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police is counter-productive. The chiefs’ association argues the option of writing tickets to punish people caught with less than 30 grams of marijuana would be less costly and time-intensive than sending criminal charges through the courts.

“It’s a bad idea,” Larsen said. “It’s actually going to result in more cannabis users being persecuted.” He said police in B.C. issue warnings or write reports on 18,000 people a year for use of marijuana without laying charges. “They would all get tickets under that new system,” Larsen predicted.

He said the proposal could confuse B.C. voters as canvassers prepare to ask them to sign a petition that would press for a referendum on a proposed law blocking use of B.C. police resources for enforcing simple possession. “Our solution does not involve fines or alternative penalties, it involves leaving people

Municipal election reform pledged for 2014 campaign Province opts to hold back spending limits until 2017 Jeff Nagel Black Press

A ban on anonymous contributions in municipal elections is among the reforms the provincial government is pledging to have in place the next time local voters go to the polls to elect councils in November of 2014. Details on the changes are to be spelled out in a white paper next month. But Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said additional changes will also require disclosure and registration of third-par-

ty advertisers in local government elections. Sponsorship information will also be mandatory on all election advertising, and campaign finance disclosures will have to be filed within 90 days, instead of 120 days. Limits on campaign spending for candidates, organizations and third-party advertisers are also coming, but they will be held back for implementation for the 2017 elections in order to allow more time for consultations. The province is also expected to push munic-

ipal campaigns up one month, to run in the third week of October starting in 2017. Oakes said the changes will improve transparency and accountability, calling them the most significant modernization of local election legislation in nearly two decades. The changes will apply to elections for municipalities, regional districts, park boards, the Islands Trust and boards of education. Union of B.C. Municipalities president Mary Sjostrom said she’s pleased with the com-

mitment and said the government’s phased approach should ensure the changes work well for the full range of B.C. communities. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson was critical of the delay to impose a campaign spending cap and said she’s not sure why the province needs more time and a white paper to act. “What have they been doing?” she asked, adding six different ministers have had a combined six years to deliver reforms sought by UBCM.

and ticketing would offer a new, more effective enforcement option. The chiefs also say pot users who are ticketed for simple possession would avoid a criminal record that can block them from international travel, getting a job or gaining citizenship. SFU criminology professor Rob Gordon called the resolution a significant shift that indicates police across the country – not just in B.C. – are ready for reform. “It’s the thin edge of the wedge, it’s the beginning of a move away from the criminal enforcement approach,” Gordon said. He said Sensible BC campaigners are pushing for change too fast and said ticketing would be part of a more gradual move to alter public thinking and government policy. “When marijuana policy is normalized, I

alone.” If Ottawa embraced broader legislative reform, he added, it should simply legalize pot. “I’d rather see revenue generated through legalization, regulation and taxation rather than fining the people who happen to be unlucky enough to get caught by police,” he said. The federal government, which would have to change federal legislation to enable marijuana ticketing, indicated it has no plans to legalize or decriminalize pot possession. Vancouver Police Chief Const. Jim Chu, president of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, said the organization does not support cannabis decriminalization or legalization. Chu said police now must either turn a blind eye or lay charges when they encounter pot use,

think we’ll look back at this period and say this is when the process began for the shift from criminalization towards regulation and taxation,” Gordon said. “If you go slowly, you can help people shift their thinking from their current belief that marijuana use is some sort of demonic activity to recognizing it as just another recreational drug that does minimal harm and the sky will not fall.” He said he wouldn’t be surprised if B.C. liquor stores sell pot within five years. Although Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been firmly against marijuana reform, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s call for change this summer in B.C. re-ignited the issue. Gordon said Harper won’t be able to ignore the chiefs’ resolution, although he might send it to a committee for a lengthy period of study.

am riding by the seat of my pants. No sooner do I finish a novel and write the review, than I start sweating because my next deadline is looming ever closer. It’s to the point now where I am starting to resent that I read all the time. I love to read, so this is a new sentiment for me. The hardest part is the first quarter – heck, maybe half – of a novel before I am reeled into the story. This first part is when I am reading because I have a deadline, not because it’s enjoyable. That’s no good. That’s not what I signed up for. But there are only two weeks to go, only two more novels to read. I can see the end. And it sure will be a nice sense of accomplishment. *** It’s in the name: “Beautiful Ruins” by Jess Walter is very beautiful. It’s a beautiful story, with beautiful characters, and it is beautifully written. The story takes places over more than half a century and all over the world: from a tiny fishing village on Italy’s Ligurian coast in the 1960s, to the set of Cleopatra in Rome; from 1970s Seattle, Washington, to London and Scotland in the late 2000s; from a Hollywood back lot in the modern day, to a Sandpoint, Idaho community

SALLY MACDONALD theatre. There are two pivotal characters around whom the story revolves. In his early 20s, Pasquale Tursi returns to tiny Porto Vergogna, where his parents run a humble pensione and trattoria. The village is thrust into the modern world when a glamourous American actress arrives. Dee Moray is dying of stomach cancer, and is retreating to the hotel in her illness. There is an instant, special connection between the two people from vastly different cultures. It’s a connection that will lead to ever more complex ripples in the ponds of their lives. Meanwhile, as Pasquale and Dee’s stories are being told, we meet a host of other characters across the span of years. Michael Deane, the sly, self-serving Hollywood pro-

ducer trying to maintain his career through his twilight years. Claire Silver, his tortured assistant who is no longer sure what she signed up for. Shane Wheeler, a writer who believes he has the one big idea that will land him the script for a Hollywood blockbuster. Alvis Bender, a World War 2 veteran with his own story to tell, but who is so scarred that he struggles to write more than one chapter of his novel. And Pat Bender, a washed-up musician whose demons have destroyed his relationships. The story flits from one character’s point of view to another’s, from the 1960s before jumping forward decades, then back again. It moves so rapidly through so many seemingly unconnected stories that at first I found it a little frustrating. No sooner did I find myself invested in a character, than we dropped them and moved onto someone else. But the beauty of this novel is that it all does come together in the end, and when it does, it’s a masterpiece of different connections, different points of view, different biases, so that in a scene with almost a dozen characters, you understand intimately how each is feeling. What makes this climactic scene all the more special for readers in the East Kootenay is

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

that it is set in Sandpoint, Idaho, just a few clicks away from Cranbrook, a town many local readers are familiar with. In fact, the author lives in Spokane, Washington. Jess Walter has written six novels, including The Zero, which was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Award, the 2007 Pen Center Literary Award, and the 2007 LA Times Book Prize, and winner of the 2007 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award. Another of his novels, Citizen Vince, won the 2005 Edgar Allan Poe Award for best novel. The high points of this novel come in scenes that involve Pasquale and Dee. Both go through life surrounded by people who are haunted by demons. It seems that every character – besides these two – is deeply flawed and often unlikeable. By contrast, Pasquale and Dee are these two beautiful, shining lights that lift the story into a higher place. They are the beauty in “Beautiful Ruins”. This novel is a captivating, fast-paced story that will hook you in; and it is also well-written, touching and inspiring. In short, it’s the perfect summer read.

Tips on keeping produce fresh

pproximately 30 per cent of produce is discarded after purchase because of spoilage. That is a large waste of money. Contrary to popular belief, many fruits and vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator in sealed bags. This is because some fruits, like apples, emit ethelyne gas which promotes ripening and many leafy greens need to breathe in order to stay moist. Taking the time to store produce properly can keep vegetables and fruits perky for a lot longer. Here are a few of my favourite tips. Check the settings in your fruit or vegetable bins to see if they are set to high or low for moisture. High moisture helps leafy things like chard, lettuces or bok choy, and root or thick skinned vegetables such as po-

tatoes or melons prefer low moisture.

Rose Soneff Greens can be washed, spun dry, and wrapped in a paper towel and placed loosely in a plastic bag. Leafy greens, celery, green onions, and herbs can be placed upright in containers with a bit of water and loosely covered with a

plastic bag. Most other vegetables and fruit should not be washed until just before being served. Avoid storing onions with potatoes. Onions emit a gas that can cause potatoes to sprout. Keep onions and potatoes away from each other and store each in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Fruit and vegetables with thicker skin or rinds should be stored in cool, preferably dark places (7-10 degrees). Most homes today do not have a place that is in this temperature range so you are very lucky if you have an old-fashioned root cellar. If you do not have a root cellar, there are some specialty products you can use such as vegetable storage bags specially designed to let gas out and keep moisture in.

Check stored produce regularly to see if anything is beginning to spoil. Discard spoiling produce right away to prevent it from spreading to other produce. Some produce departments have manuals available that describe differing preparation and storage of produce. Check with your store’s produce manager. Buying in bulk may seem like a bargain, but if the produce spoils then the savings are gone. Ask friends or family if they want to split that 10 kg bag of onions. Forming a buying group in the fall can mean big savings if you can share and store case lots. Rose Soneff is a community nutritionist with Interior Health

FASD Awareness Day will serve up burgers and mocktails in Rotary Park Townsman Staff

International FASD Day occurs on the ninth day of the ninth month of the year, to symbolize the nine months of abstinence from drugs and alcohol during pregnancy. On September 9, 2013, beginning at noon, come join Axis Family Resources Ltd.’s FASD Key Worker and Parent Support Program, in collaboration with Bellies to Babies, CAPC, and Paqmi Nuqyuk for Burgers and Mocktails at Rotary Park in Cranbrook. From 12 noon until 2 p.m. event organizers encourage the community to join in FASD Awareness Day. There will be information on how you can support women in making healthy choices during preg-

nancy to prevent FASD, what services are available to support children with FASD, what FASD is, how it happens and who to contact if you are affected or live with someone affected by FASD. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, or FASD, is an umbrella term that describes the wide range of physical and cognitive disabilities that occur in the fetus from consuming alcohol while pregnant. FASD is the leading cause of developmental and cognitive disabilities among children in North America. “People born with FASD need a lot of help and support throughout their entire lifespan, and yet it’s an issue no one wants to talk about,” says

Amanda Casey, FASD Key Worker and Parent Support Facilitator for the East Kootenays. Every day approximately 1,000 babies are born in Canada. Appoximately nine of those babies will be diagnosed with FASD. About half of the 1,000 babies were planned pregnancies, and about 30-40 per cent of women of childbearing age consume alcohol. FASD is non-discriminatory; it knows no race, gender, or social status. There is no known safe amount of alcohol to consume while pregnant. However it’s important for everyone to remember that about half of pregnancies are unplanned, and often aren’t discovered until two to three months gestation.

“The fact is that a lot of people simply don’t know they are pregnant until two to three months into the pregnancy, sometimes even longer,” Casey said. “There are TV shows about it, it happens. A conscious choice isn’t being made to disable their child. “Stigmatizing and shutting these people out is not helping matters in the slightest.” Join us in Rotary Park, September 9, 2013, at noon to show your support and enjoy mocktails and delicious burgers from M&M Meat Shops. If you would like more information about this event, or would like to know how you can participate, please contact Amanda Casey or Val Markin at 250-489-4074 extension 227.

Busy summer for the Bull River Shooters Br adley Woods

The Bull River Shooters have had a busy summer. Four of our members made the trek out to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, in July to compete at the Canadian National Silhouette Championship. Our members saw some terrific results: • Jeramey Marsh took 3rd in AAA class (.22 hunter rifle); • Trudy Phillips was 3rd in AA class (.22 hunter rifle); • Richard Carrere was 1st in AA class (.22 hunter rifle); 1st in A class (High Power hunter rifle) and 3rd in A class (high power silhouette rifle); • Kalvin Marsh was top Canadian Junior (.22 silhouette rifle) and was 2nd in AA class with both guns in small bore! We also held a monthly club match on July 27. Match winners are as follows: Silhouette Rifle .22cal AA class: Richard Carrere AAA class: Jeramey Marsh Match Champion: Rob McKeeman Hunter Rifle .22cal B class: Deni Marsh AA class: Richard Carrere AAA class: Bill Johnson Match Champion: Rob McKeeman In early August Rob McKeeman travelled to the Alberta provincial high power championship and made us so very proud by becoming the provincial champion for silhouette rifle and was 1st in AA class with a hunter rifle. This past weekend saw Oliver Graham (and family), Jeramey and Deni Marsh, Bill Johnson, Rob McKeeman and Brad Woods head to the Alberta small bore provincial championship. We all enjoyed the hospitality at the

beautiful Kananaskis range near Canmore and all relished in the competition. Results of note: • Deni Marsh was 1st in A class with both guns; • Brad Woods was 3rd in AA class with hunter gun; • Oliver Graham was 4th in AAA class with hunter gun; • Rob McKeeman was 2nd in AAA class with silhouette rifle and was 1st in Master class with hunter gun Our next match is this weekend, August 24 and 25. Saturday is the small bore (.22lr) competition and Sunday is a high power match. Shooting begins at 10 a.m. both days … please arrive by 9 a.m. to register and sight-in/practice. Anyone can join the competition and spectators are always welcome, especially those curious about our sport and thinking of giving it a try … that’s how I got hooked five years ago! I watched a match and was made to feel very welcome and was assured not to worry about ability or equipment. When I later attended a match that welcome feeling continued to the point where it is now quite family-like and the sport is very addictive! I urge you to check us out. Don’t forget hearing protection if you come to the high power match Sunday. It’s very exciting to see competitors try for the rams at 500 metres, shooting freehand!

Bill Bennett

In 2000-01, California de-regulated its electricity market, resulting in rolling blackouts and record-high electricity prices. BC Hydro’s trading arm, Powerex, sold electricity to California, earning hundreds of millions for the NDP government. California still owed $265 million to Powerex.

The US federal regulator determined a decade ago that the electricity market was manipulated by parties like Enron and that companies like Powerex had to pay back millions. Powerex has been in court in the US since 2001. Canadian litigants do not do well in the US court system, as learned from the Softwood Lumber experience.

The settlement I signed oﬀ on as BC’s Energy Minister gets BC credit for the $265 million owing to BC ($477 million with interest). BC is paying California $273 million cash, for a total settlement of $750 million. The California parties were sueing BC for $3.2 billion – too great a risk to the BC tax payer.

Terms of reference for the Family and Community Services Committee are available on the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca Interested individuals are invited to submit a Volunteer Application form available at City Hall or the City’s website – www.cranbrook.ca.

The glorious, sun-swept Cayman Islands

Uniglobe Travel’s Joyce Termuende explores the picturesque Cayman Islands

he sunny Cayman Islands are located in the western Caribbean Sea, about 700 kilometres south of Florida and 400 kilometres northwest of Jamaica. There are three main islands: Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, with Grand Cayman being by far the largest and most metropolitan of the islands. The population of the islands is about 56,000, made up of a mix of over 100 nationalities. The islands were first visited by Christopher Columbus in 1503, when he named them Las Tortugas after the abundance of sea turtles. Then in 1583, English explorer Sir Francis Drake visited and renamed them Cayman, a Neo-Taino word for alligator. The Cayman Islands were mainly uninhabited until the 17th century. While there is no ar-

chaeological evidence for an indigenous people on the islands, a variety of settlers from different backgrounds made their home on the islands, including pirates, refugees from the Spanish Inquisition, shipwrecked sailors, and deserters from the army in Jamaica. Grand Cayman Island is an oasis in the Caribbean Sea, and is readily accessible by air from many different cities. The rainy/hurricane season is May to November, so a good time to visit is November to April when they have their dry season. It is also a major stop on many of the cruise ship routes as the shopping is amazing and tax free! Dozens of shops carry a huge array of primarily watches, which Grand Cayman is well known for. The beaches are gor-

geous, with white sand and clear blue water. The snorkelling is fantastic, with huge conch living in the sea grass just off the beaches. Colourful fish, lobster, sea turtles (of course!) and a vast array of other sea creatures make the snorkelling in the warm water very interesting. There is also excellent diving on all three islands (some shipwreck diving as well), and swimming with the manta rays is not to be missed. There are all types of accommodation from simple and inexpensive to five-star hotels to various types of condos on the beach. Car rentals are available on the island, and a day trip around the island is a great way to spend a day while seeing the whole island. One of Grand Cayman’s main attractions is Seven Mile Beach,

Up close and personal with the manta rays off the Cayman Islands. where a number of the island’s hotels and resorts are located. Named one of the Ultimate Beaches by Caribbean Travel and Life, Seven Mile Beach is public property and it’s possible to walk the full length of the beach, past all the hotels, resorts, and public beach bars.

Other Grand Cayman tourist attractions include the Ironshore Landscape of Hell, the 23-acre marine theme park Boatswain’s Beach, also home of the Cayman Turtle Farm and the place where they produce gourmet sea salt. As well, there is the

Home improvement projects perfect for fall

Home improvement projects can add value to a home and do-it-yourselfers know the sweat-equity that goes into such projects can give homeowners a greater sense of pride in their homes. But no two home improvement projects are the same, and homeowners should know that certain projects are best tackled during certain times of the year. Fall is a great season to work on your house, as the weather is often at its most agreeable once the summer heat has gone and before winter weather arrives. The following are a handful of fall-friendly home improvement projects for homeowners looking to improve their homes. Roof repair Whether you’re repairing or replacing the roof, fall is a great time of year to dust off the ladder and get some work done on your roof for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, fall is ideal for roof work because you won’t have to be up on the roof with the summer heat bearing down on you. This can make the project move along more quickly, which is especially beneficial if you are paying la-

borers to work on the roof. The fewer hours workers are fixing your roof, the less you will be paying in labor costs.

In addition, fixing up the roof in the fall ensures those winter storms, be it rain or snow, won’t find their way into your home via leaks. A leaky roof in winter is hard to fix, as the roof surface could be treacherous in the winter and winter winds can make it dangerous to be up on the roof at all. Addressing leaks in the fall can prevent damage to your home’s interior, which can mount up if a leaky roof is not addressed until the following spring. Window work When the weather outside gets frightful, poorly insulated windows can allow cold air into the home. That often has a trickle-down effect on finances, forcing you to turn up the thermostat in an attempt to offset the cold air pouring into the home. Whether you need your windows replaced or simply need to patch up any leaks, a proactive approach to leaky or older windows in the fall can save you from unnecessarily high

heating bills come the winter. Addressing leaky windows also makes a home more comfortable for its inhabitants. Fall is the ideal time to address a home’s windows because the temperature outside tends to be pleasant. This means you likely won’t have to make much of an effort to offset the elements, and open windows in the fall won’t make your home’s interior very hot or cold like they might if you were to tackle the project during the summer or winter. Fixing the floors Wood flooring is a hot commodity for many homeowners. But not all flooring can be added to a home at any time of year. That’s because certain types of flooring employ adhesives that need temperatures inside the home to be within a certain range, and that range is often within 70o to 80o F, which makes fall a great time to install such floors. Colder temperatures can make it difficult for the flooring to dry and bond, which will prove problematic down the road. What’s more, many people entertain friends and family come late fall and into the holiday season, and it can be difficult to do so if you are busy installing new flooring.

Painting is another home improvement project that seems tailor-made for fall. A fresh coat of paint or a new color scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the fall, when you can keep the windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out. But interior painting isn’t the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperature-sensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 40o F. Paint that freezes won’t dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their hands. Fall temperatures tend to be amenable to both interior and exterior painting projects, just be sure to check the weather forecast before making your first brush stroke.

School bus safety tips to impart to youngsters Each day thousands upon thousands of children board school buses to take them to and from school. Parents and caregivers entrust their children’s well-being to the care of school bus drivers and aides. Although parents may worry about school bus accidents, such accidents are few and far between. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration advises that school buses are designed to be safer than passenger vehicles in avoiding crashes and protecting against injury. Buses are arguably the safest mode of transportation for getting kids to and from school. By keeping millions of cars off the roads surrounding schools, school buses contribute to less crowded roadways, which are less conducive to accidents.

Knowing the safety rules While a large part of protecting children is on the shoulders of the school bus driver, it is also vital for passengers to learn the basics of school bus safety. Kindergarteners or children who are riding the bus for the first time should be taught the rules of school bus safety. Some schools offer a school bus tour prior to the new school year. This lets youngsters acclimate themselves with the look and feel of the school bus. This introduction also may include information about bus safety, but parents can also educate their children (and themselves) about using caution in and around the bus by following these guidelines. * Get to the bus stop 5 to 10 minutes prior to the assigned pickup time. Rushing last-minute can lead to injury, especially if you’re chasing down the bus. * Remain on the sidewalk or grass at the bus stop. Do not step off the curb into the street until the bus has arrived and

is completely stopped. * When boarding the bus, go directly to a seat and sit down. Buckle up if there are seatbelts on the bus. * Remain seated while the bus is in motion. * Keep voices low so as not to distract the driver. * Keep your head and hands inside of the bus, and never hang out of the window. * Do not throw things on the bus or play rough with friends or classmates. * Keep the aisle clear at all times. * Be careful when getting off the bus. Hold on while going down the stairs. * Only get off at your designated stop unless you have permission to get off elsewhere. * When exiting the bus, walk at least 10 steps past the front of the bus and cross in front where the driver

can see you. Do not cross behind the bus. * Wait for the driver to give you a signal that it is safe to cross. Be sure to check that all cars on the road have come to a complete stop. * Get to the sidewalk or off the street as quickly as possible. * If you’ve forgotten something on the bus, do not run back and attempt to retrieve it. The driver might not see you and start the bus. Rather, call the bus company and see if you can pick it up at another time. * Do not get into the cars of strangers waiting around bus stops, even if they offer to take you home. Parents can arrange to meet with bus drivers so that they will recognize their faces. Adults also can encourage schools to host bus safety courses to further ensure their youngsters are safe.

DANGER ZONE

Though parents may feel buses are most likely to be in accidents while in transit, experts advise that children are more likely to get hurt during pickups and drop-offs when they’re in the “danger zone” of the bus. The danger zone is a 10-foot radius around the outside of the bus. Bus drivers and other motorists find kids in the danger zone are more difficult to see, and children can get struck by either the bus or oncoming cars that fail to stop when the bus is picking kids up or dropping them off.

Reading can have a profound impact on a child’s life in and out of the classroom. Reading can help a young student develop a more extensive vocabulary, and a study from the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics found that reading to young children promotes language acquisition, making it easier for them to learn a foreign language. That’s a significant advantage for children growing up in a world that’s increasingly global. But reading has benefits outside the classroom as well. Reading can provide an escape from the daily grind, which is something even today’s youngsters can appreciate. Reading also is a great way for kids to relax and unwind while simultaneously giving their brains a workout.

Schooling at Home? Consider the advantages offered by

Youngsters who have their own library cards might be more excited about visiting the library and more likely to develop a love of reading.

While many parents recognize the impact reading can have on their children, it’s no secret that getting kids to embrace reading can be difficult. Distractions such as video games, social media and even the great outdoors are all there to draw kids away from reading. But parents who want to instill a love of reading in their children can still take steps to ensure their kids don’t miss out on the benefits of a good book. * Read to your children. Numerous studies have discovered various benefits of reading to children when they are young. The National Center for Education Statistics notes that children whose parents read to them typically become better readers and perform better in school. Reading to children early on is the first step toward fostering a love of reading kids will develop and continue throughout their lives. Many parents read to their children at night before bedtime, but any time of day will suffice. * Don’t be discouraged if kids are not interested in books. While reading fiction can help develop a youngster’s imagination, parents should not be discouraged if kids don’t want to read books. Reading the newspaper, magazines and even comic books can help kids develop strong reading skills and an extensive vocabulary and, in the case of comic books, inspire their imaginations. Young sports fans might be more inclined to read the sports page than a novel, so let them do so. Kids are more likely to embrace reading if what they’re reading interests them, so encourage kids to read up on those interests, even if that reading does not involve picking up a book. * Get your youngster his or her own library card. Thanks to the popularity of e-readers, many adults would be hard pressed to locate their local library if asked to do so. But visiting the library is a great way to encourage kids to read, especially if kids have their own library cards. Kids with their own library cards tend to look at visits to the library as shopping trips where they get to make their own choices about what they’re taking home with them. And once kids reach a certain age, they can visit the library on their own. * Share your own reading experiences with children. Kids look up to their parents and often want to mimic their behavior. So parents can set a good example by reading as well. On trips to the library, check out your own book. While you might not want to discuss every book you read with your children, discuss the books they’re reading. Chances are you read many of those same books yourself when you were a child, and discussing books with your child is a great way to improve his or her reading comprehension. .

School Districts 5 and 6

Southeast Kootenay and Rocky Mountain

Host an International Student! School Districts 5 and 6 invite families throughout the East Kootenay to host one or two international students starting this fall. Most students are from Germany, Mexico, Brazil and Japan, will be studying in Grades 8 to 12, and will be staying either for one semester or one school year. We encourage empty-nester parents or any family to consider hosting two students from different countries. Such double placements are consistently very successful. Host families receive a tax-free allowance each month per student, and weekend and/or vacation coverage is available. To receive an information package:

Welcome to the 2013-14 School Year On behalf of the Board of Education and our administration staff, I extend a warm welcome to everyone as we begin a new school year. We trust that you had an enjoyable summer and that you were able to enjoy time with family and friends, and hopefully you were also able to enjoy the outdoors in this beautiful part of the Province, or wherever your travels took you. To our new staff, students and parents, you have certainly come to the right place! Rocky Mountain extends from Field Elementary in the Yoho National Park, through Golden, Invermere, and Kimberley (and all points in between!) and we are connected by our shared “Quest for Quality” and our commitment to “act wisely, care deeply and find joy in each day”. We do our very best for our students and we believe that they deserve nothing less. Please review our draft 2013-14 Achievement Contract for more information about how our “big picture” achievement goals connect to school plans and to every learner we serve. We are excited to welcome new staff members in District positions this year. In Golden, we welcome Lois Ehman as the new Principal at Nicholson Elementary. In Windermere Zone we welcome Darryl Turner as the new Principal of Edgewater Elementary, and in District Office we welcome Jennifer Turner as Assistant Superintendent responsible for Student Services, Curriculum and Early Learning, as well as Lee Erikson who is our new Administrative Assistant. Just before the summer we also welcomed our new Operations Supervisor for the Windermere Zone, Brian Nickurak. Congratulations to all of you and we wish you all the best in your new roles. We have been in the

process for the past year of setting our “big picture” goals for the next 5 years, which we call our “District Directions 2018”. The Board has engaged our staff and communities in a “Thoughtstream” to give everyone an opportunity for input on the key priorities of our Rocky Mountain team. We plan to have this work completed by the end of the 2013 calendar year, and we will be communicating with our communities and partners about these priorities. The focus areas through to the end of 2013 remain: • Our Culture: Build and maintain a culture of shared values and understanding consistent with our Vision, Mission and Guiding Principles. • Our Students: Be an innovative and responsive educational leader embraced by students and parents. • Our Staff: Be the employer of choice. • Environmental Stewardship: Practice environmental stewardship. • Healthy Living: Expand initia-

tives to support students, staff and our partners to maintain healthy lifestyles. • Community Involvement and Engagement: Work with community partners to develop mutually beneficial educational opportunities. Thank you for your commitment to working together in the best interests of all our students. We are privileged to work, learn and live in our outstanding communities. On behalf of the Rocky Mountain Board and administration, have a great year!

Learn the early warning signs of bullying Children grow and develop their personalities in various ways. While many youngsters are teased or receive some good-natured ribbing at some point in their school careers, some teasing can eventually turn into bullying. The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Furthermore, more than 70 percent of students report incidents of bullying at their schools. Although children in lower grades have reported being in

more fights than those in higher grades, there is a higher rate of violent crimes in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. According to the association Make Beats Not Beat Downs, harassment and bullying have been linked to 75 percent of school shooting incidents. Bullying can take many forms, and learning the warning signs as a parent can help prevent harassment and potentially dangerous situations. Verbal: If your child reports being called names, being the recipient of racist, sexist or homophobic jokes, or being spoken to in an offensive or suggestive way, this can be a form of verbal bullying. Cyber: Social media, email and text messaging has become a way for bullies to spread malicious messages or photos. In the era of digital media, this type of bullying has increased considerably.

“Creating the Edge for Life”

Physical: Some bullies engage in physical attacks, including hitting, kicking, spitting, or other forms of physical confrontation. Destroying personal property also is considered physical bullying. Indirect: Gossiping and spreading nasty rumors about a person is another form of bullying. This type of bullying may go hand-in-hand with cyber bullying.

Parents can recognize certain signs that their child is being bullied at school. Bullied children frequently make excuses to avoid going to school. While the desire to stay home is something many children may express, those who are bullied may do so much more frequently. Bullied children tend to avoid certain places and may be sad, angry, withdrawn, or depressed. They may have trouble sleeping or experience changes in appetite, and bullied youngsters’ academic performance may suffer. Also, parents may notice that children return from school missing some of their belongings.

Signs your child is the bully

Parents may not want to imagine their children bullying other students, but bullies do exist. Children who bully other kids have strong needs for power and negative dominance. They may find satisfaction in causing suffering to others. Some signs that your child may be a bully include: * easily becoming violent with others * having friends who bully others * blaming others quickly * comes home with belongings that do not belong to him or her * getting in trouble with teachers or school administrators * picking on siblings * not accepting responsibility for actions There are ways parents can teach their children to act properly when faced with a bully. First, parents should explain that bullying is not the child’s fault and he or she does not deserve to be picked on. Next, parents can let children know that being assertive but not violent with bullies may diffuse the situation, as some bullies thrive on the fear of their victims. If the bullying behavior continues, the student should speak to an adult or authority figure. Parents of bullies may need to be especially mindful of their children’s behavior. Counseling could be necessary to determine what is compelling kids to bully other students.

How to improve test-taking skills how well students are absorbing the information and if they have been paying attention. When in class, continually jot down notes and create an outline of important information. The teacher may provide hints about the upcoming test, including emphasizing specific areas of focus or even revealing the format of the test. Contrary to what some students believe, teachers want their students to succeed. Therefore, your teacher may offer a review session the day before or be open for questions prior to the test if further clarification is needed. Studying with others can shed new light on a subject. Studying difficult subject matter with peers may help students grasp the materials better than they did in class. Classmates may have some tricks they’ve developed, including pneumonic devices for putting facts together.

THE DAY BEFORE AND THE DAY OF THE TEST

Students are periodically tested to gauge their progress on a variety of subjects. Although testing can be an effective way to determine a student’s understanding of a given subject, not every student performs well on tests. Test-taking comes easily for some but not so for others. Nerves or trouble concentrating can foil the best students. However, there are ways for students to improve their test-taking skills.

PREPARATION

Most tests are given with prior notice, enabling students to prepare for them well in advance. Sometimes teachers and professors will surprise students with a quiz. These pop quizzes are used to judge

We Are Now Co-Ed Our new home is at Steeples School. We are now accepting new registrations. Boys & Girls 10-18 registered in a school program are eligible to join this long term youth group. It is 72 years old this year. • No musical background necessary, everything is taught by ear. • Fun trips to Fun places - Vancouver, Silverwood, Calgary, Edmonton and lots more. Travel year round, near & far

Prior to a test, make sure you eat and get enough rest. While it may be tempting to pull an “all-nighter,” you will not perform well on the test if you are tired from having studied all night. Review the material and put the main ideas or formulas onto a sheet that can be quickly reviewed. Review it many times and then put it away. Have a good meal, relax and try to get at least eight hours of sleep. On the day of the test, wake up and arrive on time or even a few minutes early for your class. This can help to calm your nerves and enable you to squeeze in some last-second studying.

THE TEST ITSELF Make sure you have the supplies needed for the test. This may include pens or pencils, a calculator, a textbook if you are allowed to reference, or any other supplies the teacher allows. Have a watch available so that you can pace yourself during the test. Avoid using a mobile phone during the test, as the teacher may misinterpret that as cheating. Try to remain positive through the test. If you feel yourself getting nervous, take a few deep breaths

and regroup. In addition to these tips, there are other ways to approach the test. * Do the easiest problems first. If you do not know a question, skip it and move on. There may be clues later on in the test that help you go back and answer skipped questions. * Always read the entire question. Skimming could find you missing important instructions. * Look for words that may help you determine the answer, such as “all,””never” or “none.” They may present clues to the answer. * Pay attention to your work and only your work. Do not be distracted if others finish before you. * If there is time, go back and look over the test. Make sure that all the questions have been answered and check for any careless mistakes. Proofread any essays and short answer questions. Preparing well for a test, remaining calm and checking over your work can help students who struggle with test-taking do their best.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am the manager of a small business with one co-worker. For the past eight years, “Sheila” and I have gotten along fairly well. Last year, not so much. Sheila has become lazy, obnoxious and surly. She seems to have a chip on her shoulder, and her teenage kids are a nightmare (drugs, shoplifting, alcohol, sexual activities, theft, you name it). She brings all of this baggage to work and talks about it. I just try to get through the day without too much drama. When it was time for Sheila’s end-of-year evaluation, I could not bring myself to give her a better grade than the previous year. Not only had the evaluation criteria become stricter, but Sheila had changed. When she saw her score, she became angry and upset. I asked whether she had any ideas for her development and improvement for the coming year, and she said to increase her alcohol consumption. I am close to retirement. Should I put the hard feelings behind me or find someone to replace her? Sheila is a single mom, and I know she needs the job. I am torn. I have referred her and her family to our EAP counseling several times, but it falls on deaf ears. -- Need Less Drama Dear Drama: We feel sorry for Sheila. She has her hands full at home and is probably stressed beyond measure. When she comes to work, she feels secure enough to vent, and it relieves the pressure and is therapeutic for her. Unfortunately, it’s not therapeutic for you. Please be compassionate, as well as honest. Tell Sheila that you understand she is under a great deal of pressure, but when she takes out her frustrations at work, it makes it difficult to be around her. Say that talking about her troubles will help, but she should utilize the EAP services so that her problems won’t spill over onto her job. Dear Annie: My heart breaks for all of these grandparents who write to you saying they have no contact with their grandchildren. I had the same issue. After two years of sleepless nights, daily crying and grieving, I realized my life was passing me by. The three of my five children who decided we are not good enough to participate in their lives never grieved the loss at all. In fact, they are thriving and happy, and now there are four grandchildren we do not know. My oldest and youngest daughters sat back patiently wondering whether I would stop mourning long enough to remember that they never left me, and that their kids are excited and happy to be part of our lives. They call me often, and we visit frequently. While I am deeply saddened that I no longer know my other children, we should not forget those who do appreciate and respect us. My advice to all who are suffering is to take charge of your life. Give yourself permission to be happy, strong and creative. Parenting has no recipe. Other factors helped shape each of my children. I have no idea why some act like we don’t deserve to live. But I do know that I am stronger, more humble, more forgiving and closer to those who want to share my life. I am grateful beyond measure. -- Finally at Peace Dear Finally: Thank you for your sage advice. We cannot always change the things that bring us grief, but we can change how we respond. We hope your words bring comfort and encouragement to others. Dear Annie: I want to respond to “Frustrated in Louisville,” whose husband interrupts her constantly. My husband does the same thing and also believes he is doing nothing wrong. I don’t think he is intentionally being mean. I believe it’s related to his other symptoms of dementia. Perhaps that lady’s husband is also experiencing early signs of dementia. -- Anonymous Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Obituaries

Brian was the fifth of five born to Don and Joan Garcia on December 4, 1954 in New Westminster, British Columbia. Their large family shared a warm and loving bond and remained very close throughout the years. The greatest joy in Brianâ€™s life was his 39 year dedication to Jehovah God, his creator and life giver. On July 19, 1974, Brian was baptized. He loved going in service and talking to people about the Bible and the prospect of being in paradise on earth. On June 24, 1989, Brian married the love of his life Carol Mae and they shared 24 years of sacred service together while raising their seven beautiful children. Brianâ€™s career was in forestry. This gave him the opportunity to enjoy working amidst the wonders of Jehovahâ€™s creation while also being alongside the wildlife that He also placed on earth. While living in Revelstoke, Brian kept busy with Theocratic service. He enjoyed working in the door to door work and attending conventions while also spending time exploring the mountains. He found it a privilege to serve as an elder while in Cloverdale and Revelstoke and always enjoyed the congregation get-togethers with his spiritual brothers and sisters. Brian is survived by his loving wife Carol, his children Aaron, Tara (Jarrett), Jackson, Dallas, James, Sadie and Caleb, his grandchildren Danee and Devyn, Lauren, Beckett and Hartley, and his brothers and sisters Marilyn (Jack), Susy, Allyn (Don) and Ray (Patti). He will also be lovingly remembered by many friends and family.

hat’s one small step for man, one giant leap ... Oh, hi! Sorry, studying for my Ancient History test in 50 years. Mark (Buzz) Krobochiv (IQ 185) is the name, and I am going to become the world’s first kid to enter a black hole. This must sound weird to you people in the 21st century, but this year the human race has finally found a way to travel faster than the speed of light. The year is 4271. We solved the energy crisis 2170 years ago, in the year 2101, to give you an idea of the time that has passed. I studied your ancient language and have mastered it. When you read this, all of the events will have already happened, because of TTD (Time Travel Difference). Anyway, my shuttle is waiting. It can travel up to 7,724,296 m/s at cruising speed and 0.0892 m/s on takeoff, to avoid crushing passen-

gers into intergalactic flapjacks. Travelling at 0.0892 m/s, you would take 25 G. I hear that if you were pulled into a black hole, you would be stretched into a thin strand because of the extreme gravitational pull, or ‘spaghettified’. Not fun. Tasty, but not fun. That is why NASA has taken extreme measures to make sure that I will not be sucked into a black hole to be lost forever. I’m hungry. I’ll have to make sure they pack plenty of freezedried spaghetti into the rocket. The rocket is prepped for takeoff on T-4 minutes. I am anxiously awaiting my plate of modern spaghetti. I think I’ll teleport to Italy to get it myself. Yes, that has been invented too. *** Ah, that was good. Just like my Mom-bot used to make. You may be wondering how the rocket travels so fast. It is really quite simple. The rocket’s engines power atomic splitters, causing

hundreds of nuclear explosions per minute. The explosions are propelled backwards to power the rocket. It also had a backup auxiliary engine for takeoff and landing. The rocket is built out of a super-metal that is impervious to the explosions, to avoid destroying passengers into intergalactic scrambled eggs. I step into the rocket and wave farewell to Earth as I know it. Luckily, this ship has an autododge system, as I am flying through the Oort cloud, dodging asteroids at 12 times the speed of light. For health reasons, I advise you not to try this at home. I have a space suit that can take up to 30,000 G. For more health reasons, do not ask what it’s made of. But I’ll give you a hint. It involves a uranium-plutonium deflector array (wow, that was a really big hint). There goes Andromeda – wait a minute! I’m hundreds of thousands of light years past my target! This thing is real-
