BEARS ON THE MOVE

Grizzlies reported in Marysville C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

In the continuing saga of Kimberley’s wandering bruins, two grizzly bears were spotted in Marysville at just before 6 a.m. Monday morning.

Sharon Ekskog says her husband saw them walking down 310th Avenue in Marysville as he was heading to work.

“He called to let me know,” she said. “They weren’t aggressive, they were just lumbering down the street making the dogs go nuts.”

The bears have been spotted around Kimberley daily for the past week or so. They have been reported along Rotary Drive, along Mark Creek and near McKim School.

Conservation Officers want to avoid putting the bears down if at all possible. They do have traps out but so far have been unsuccessful in luring the bears into one. They hope to be able to relocate the bears.

As long as the bears don’t exhibit any aggressive behaviour, CO’s will continue to track them.

Residents are asked to pick their fruit and control attractants. Call the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7297 to report a bear sighting.

The puck has dropped on the KIJHL season. On Saturday evening, September 14, the Kimberley Dynamiters opened their season at home with a 5-0 win over the Golden Rockets. The ceremonial puck was dropped by Sam Quigley, the oldest living Dynamiter at 89. Sam joined the Dynamiters in 1945/46 and played for five years. This is the first time a former goalie has dropped the first puck. Celebrating the puck drop above are, Golden goalie Adam Johnson, Dynamiter President Dave Smith, Sam Quigley and Dynamiter goalie Jeremy Mousseau.

KOOTENAY PERFORMING ARTS COMPANY

Company asks for community support Upcoming gala to launch full season of performances C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Evolving Kimberley Summer Theatre from a summer season into a year-round venture requires a tremendous amount of commitment from the Board and compa-

ny director Tony James. It also requires a leap of faith — faith that local audiences will support the venture.

That support can be shown immediately by simply purchasing a ticket for the upcoming gala at the Kimberley Conference Centre on September 28 — Classical Enchantment.

The gala will feature violin virtuoso Pablo Diemecke, along with ballet dancer Sarah Murphy-Dyson and others. There

will be a private, invitation only event at Chateau Kimberley on Friday evening, master classes with the performers on Saturday afternoon and the gala on Saturday evening. Tickets are available at the Platzl box office and by calling 250-427-4080.

“This gala is first and foremost a fundraiser,” James said. “There will be a silent auction, and a full two-hour performance with some really moving pieces including a Pablo solo with Sarah dancing. There

will be a post-reception meet the stars session and a chance to mingle with the board. It’s going to be exciting. We hoping the public will want to get dressed up and make it a night out.”

James says that the past season of Kimberley Summer Theatre had a budget of upwards of $170,000. Going to a full season will require a quarter million dollar budget.

Grace volunteered as the trusted treasurer for Cranbrook Hospital Auxiliary for over 25 years. Tuesday was her volunteer Thrift Shop day which she did well into her 80’s.

Grace’ s creative and artistic side took many forms. To name only a few: weaving, painting, sewing, drawing and gardening. Most dear to her heart was music, Grace was a true musician and felt it in her soul. She was a talented singer and spread the gift of her music to many people by teaching and playing piano. She also enjoyed, hiking and snowshoeing. Nature provided great pleasure and many hours were spent by herself and Richard at Fort Steele.

Grace had two children she adored, loved and cherished.

David her son, and Judith her daughter were the light of her life. Later she received the gift of 4 grand daughters, and in her 97th year she met and fell in love with her great grand daughter.

There’s no rest for railroaders. Although the season for the Kimberley Underground Mining Railway is now closed except for special tours, there’s plenty of work to be done. Above, volunteers Mick Henningson, Gary Spence and Brentt Patterson work on the tracks near the downtown station.

Henningson says the railway had a good year, exceeding 9,000 riders, despite the rain that washed out the Platzl to Peak tour, which combined a train and chairlift ride. That was such a good idea, Henningson hopes to be able to offer that again next year, more than once. The Railway volunteers also hope to be able to pave the road into the station next year. The work above is possible through a Community Initiatives grant.

time of year to plant these bulbs for next year’s blooms, our program will be helpful to those who haven’t planted them before.

From now through early November, gardeners in Kimberley will be putting their gardens to bed for the winter. Some will be waiting for a killing frost so they can dig and clean up their tender bulbs and tubers then store them for the winter; others will be waiting to prune back perennials. Each season has its own gardening needs, each to be enjoyed for the part in the life cycle it occupies.

The Garden Club meets the second Wednesday of the month, from 7-9 pm in the Selkirk High School Library from October through May. In our winter sessions, we cover various gardening topics selected

by the members. From June through September, we tour two members gardens monthly and enjoy new gardens and changes to established gardens. We welcome anyone who would like to learn more about gardening in Kimberley, whether you are new to gardening or new to the Kimberley area. For more information on our meetings, call Nola at 250-427-1948.

The Garden Club has web space at http://www. kootenaygardening. com. There are several pages in the Kimberley Garden Club section listing deer-resistant plants. In addition to hosting pages for the Cranbrook, Kimberley and Trail Garden Clubs, this website is incredibly informative with a wealth of gardening information and techniques.

Happy Gardening.

After the recent rains we have had, gardens around town look quite refreshed. The fall-blooming plants are either already blooming or getting ready to bloom: Michaelmas Daisies (aka fall-blooming perennial asters), hardy Garden Chrysanthemums, fall-blooming Monkshood. The long, wiry, flower-laden stems of my Cimicifuga (Bugbane) are swarming with happy bees, as are my tall fall-blooming sedums, and my snapdragons will be pretty until our first frost. My pots of Tuberose, which got off to a late start this year because of our June weather, are starting to flower, and every time I pass one of the pots, the heavy perfume from the flowers brings back memories of Tuberose bouquets from Mexican markets. I know fall is on her way, because our Virginia Creeper is starting to turn red, as are the Maple trees around town.

On September 11, the Garden Club toured two gardens in Meadowbrook that are works in progress. The gardeners were looking for solutions either for problem spots or for ideas for improving and building onto their existing gardens.

They graciously shared their gardens and I believe we all offered information they both can use. At the second garden, we were served sinfully delicious treats with coffee, tea and punch before we held our short meeting. Our thanks to these two gardeners for having us, and thanks also to our hostess.

The Way it Was Tree tour shows latest silvopasture research

KIMBERLEY NEWS September 16, 1954 “Hudson’s Bay Co. Buys Old Building” The Hudson’s bay Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rupert’s Land Trading Company, was the successful tenderer when bids were recently opened by Crown Assets Disposal Corporation for sale of Kimberley’s old post office building.

And the company has offered the city a ten-year lease on the building for civic purposes.

The offer will be dealt with when council holds its regular meeting next Tuesday evening.

The city itself had been one of the bidders for the property but its offer was a token bid only of $5933, representing $1 per capita for the population within the city limits. This bid was turned down by Crown Assets despite strong pressure brought to bear by Jim Byrne, M.P. for Kootenay East and the Kimberley Chamber of Commerce.

Word of the sale and the Rupert’s Land Trading Company’s lease offer was received this week in a letter to Mayor Swan from C.E. Joslyn, president of the company.

Mr. Joslyn said he understood the city had wanted the old building for a city hall and that his company would be prepared to negotiate a lease with the city.

Although council has not yet dealt with the matter, it is probable that the Winnipeg company will be advised that the city did not enter the bidding with a view to acquiring a new city hall

but because the old building would serve many useful purposes, including new library headquarters and archives.

“Mrs. Fairbanks Laid To Rest” Beautiful floral tributes testified to the high esteem in which her many friends held Mrs. Irma Marguerite Fairbanks, for whom funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon. The Rev. F.A. McPhee conducted the beautiful service in Kimberley United Church and the brief graveside service before interment in the Kimberley Cemetery.

Mrs. J. Stuart was organist and hymns sung were “My Faith Looks Up To Thee” and “Jesus, Lover of My Soul.” The choir sang the beautiful anthem “A Hymn of the Homeland.”

Pallbearers were R. Stephan, M. Tenenbein, A. Profit, G. Williams, J.W. Forest and L. Larson.

Mrs. Fairbanks died in Kimberley Public Hospital on Sept.

11 after many years of illness.

Born at Red Deer, Alta., on Jan. 1, 1911, she came to Kimberley some years ago with her husband, son and daughter.

While she was able she assisted him in operating the City Bakery.

She was a member of the United Church Town Sewing Circle, Reveille Lodge No.911, L.O.B.A., Kimberley, and a charter member of the Kimberley Soroptomist Club.

Surviving are her husband, William, of Kimberley; one son, Garry, of Medicine Hat; and a daughter, Beverley, who is attending Normal School at Victoria; her father, Richard E. Bierney, of Red Deer, and Bryan of Kimberley.

BUDGET 2014 CONSULTATION

Barry Coulter

The latest developments in a key local industry will be demonstrated to the public next week.

Charlie Willis’s tree farm, a few miles east of Cranbrook, is hosting the Kootenay Silvopasture Tour on Thursday, Sept. 19.

The tour is sponsored by the Agroforestry Industry Development Initiative (AIDI), and is part of a project designed to enhance both Christmas tree production and silvopasture for wildlife and livestock in the Kootenays. A release from AIDI says prior work has determined that Christmas tree silvopastures have the potential to increase the number of hectares for animal forage in the Kootenays.

The BC Agroforestry Industry Development Initiative is funding the Kootenay Silvopasture Tour and others like it, Willis said, to help with studies on forage availability and plant identification. In this way, Willis’s farm is serving as a working site, as part of the ongoing study on the economics of opening up forage availability on Christmas tree farms.

Charlie Willis developed a method of pruning his Christmas trees based on the way fruit trees are pruned, a little higher from the ground, allowing for more air space between the tree and the ground.

This technique makes the trees less susceptible to ground-borne diseases. He also has a specific method of “stump culture” pruning - after the tree is cut, the way the limbs left on the stump from the initial pruning means when the tree regenerates it requires less pruning, with less stress on the new tree. Willis leaves the emerging limbs only on the north and south sides of the new tree, with the topmost limb on the north side of the stump.

“In the process of doing this,

The latest developments in the silvopasture industry will be on display Thursday Sept. 19 at Kootenay Tree Fams. we’ve opened up the ground that we grow trees on,” Willis said.

“There has been a subsequent increase in forage and native grasses.”

Willis said, by tending to the growing Christmas trees in this way, not only are the health and disease resistance of the trees improved, but local grasslands native to the East Kootenay are enhanced, and forage areas for wildlife and cattle are increased.

Last year’s tour — the first in the AIDI project, took a look at these pruning techniques.

This year’s tour will be looking at several aspects of the Christmas tree and ranching industries, and how they

come together. Some of these aspects include: • Livestock distribution in silvopastures’; • Tree diseases and the relationship to temperature and bud break; • Pruning and spacing of trees to maximize tree production and forage; • Raising of the level of the tree canopy for air flow and forage production; • Fertilization techniques for the benefit of trees and forage; • Managing soil water retention for trees and forage; • Managing saskatoons and rough fescue for elk and other wildlife; • Forage cover in relation to trees.

The AIDI release said that the local producer groups who will directly benefit from the project are the Kootenay Christmas Tree Association (which has approximately 20 members in the region) and the Kootenay Livestock Assocation (with approximately 80 members).

If you would like to attend, call Charlie Willis at 250-489-4877, or email kootenaytreefarms@shaw.ca.

The tour takes place Thursday, Sept. 19, from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. It starts from the junction of Pritchard Road and Highway 3/93, about eight miles east of Cranbrook.

Theatre company asks for support From Page 1 “People may not realize that 65 per cent of that will come from ticket sales. Grant bodies have been incredibly generous but that’s only about 20 per cent of the budget. It takes community support — whether buying tickets or making a donation. There were some very generous people who surprised us this summer.

“My plan is to build a strong donor base.”

James also plans to use the gala

as a launch pad for the rest of the season. There are plans to bring in Jeff Hyslop, who sang the Phantom in London. He also plans to bring in Jackson Davies from the Beachcombers for a run of Norm Foster’s gold comedy ‘The Foursome’ next spring.

“I think it’s very exciting that people from outside want to come here and be a part of this. We’re excited to be presenting all year. The best way to support us is to buy tickets.”

Opinion/Events

My wife and I were returning from a short holiday in the U.S. and had just passed through Cranbrook returning to Lacombe, Alberta.

We were driving an older model motorhome, which broke down at Fort Steele and would not restart. We contacted RiteWay RV mobile services and Rob was there very shortly, even though he had another commitment in about an hour or so. It was very hot but he crawled inside and out of the motorhome trying to locate the problem. He finally did and managed to jury rig a temporary electrical connection to get us back to Cranbrook. He then proceeded to lead us back to town (he had to cancel his prior commitment) to Farbrook Auto Wrecking where a new ignition switch was found very quickly.

As if he hadn’t done enough already, he came to the campground where we had stayed overnight and again jumped started the engine and led us once again back to Farbrook’s. And, thanks to the great service there, we were on the road home again in an hour.

Just wanted to give a great big thank you to Rob and also the boys at Farbrook Auto Wrecking for going above and be-

yond for us complete strangers! So good to know there are such good people in the City of Cranbrook! We definitely plan on returning!

Area C business

In July I had a visit from the BC tax assessor to look at my property. He told me that, in his opinion, my business was going to be re-allocated as commercial or industrial. I asked what that would do to my taxes, and he said “a substantial increase.” He also indicated that he had already visited a number of small business operations in Area C, and they may also be changed.

I immediately sent Bill Bennett a letter, and a copy to Rob Gay, Area C Director.

Bennett’s office researched my questions and gave me some advice. Rob Gay has yet to respond.

On Friday, Sept. 13, there was an article on Page 1 of the Townsman that cleared this up for me. The Mayor of Cranbrook says “keep industrial business

inside the city.” There will now be only two categories of home-based business allowed in Area C — such as child care and bed & breakfast — but major homebased businesses such as portable sawmill, trade contracting and metal working would not be allowed. Each of these would be approved on a site to site basis.

Cranbrook City Council decided it would not recommend approval of the Regional District’s bylaws that would permit major home-based businesses in Area C. Mayor Wayne Stetski, Councillors Sharon Cross, Gerry Warner and Bob Whetham voted in favour, while Councillor Angus Davis was opposed.

The City needs to know that the population of Area C spends a lot of money in this city. There is a population of 5,713 (as of 2011) living in Area C that will be directly affected by this. It’s probably the worst thing that could happen to the area.

You need to read the article in the Townsman and perhaps plan on attending RDEK meetings, where you can voice your opinions. This will affect Area C first, maybe the other areas after.

Bill Luke Area C, Cranbrook

Rape is an African problem L ast May, with considerable trepidation, I wrote an article about what seemed to be extraordinarily high rates of rape in Africa. The original data came from a study by South Africa’s Medical Research Council in 2009 which found that more than a quarter of South African men — 27.6 percent — admitted that they had committed rape. Almost half of those men had raped two or three women or girls. One in thirteen had raped at least ten victims.

Over the next couple of years, I ran across a couple of other less detailed studies suggesting that the problem was not just South African. A report from the eastern Congo in 2012 said that over a third of the men interviewed — 34 per cent — had committed rape, and an older report from Tanzania found that 20 per cent of the women interviewed said they had been raped (although only onetenth as many rapes were reported to the police).

So I wrote a piece called “An African Iceberg” in which I said that this was a phenomenon that needed urgent investigation continent-wide — but it did occur to me to wonder if there were similar icebergs in other developing countries. The only figures that were available for developing countries elsewhere were official ones, and those normally only record the number of women who tell the police they have been raped. Most don’t.

Women are reluctant to report rape in any society, and in traditional societies much more so. The South African study was the only one that had adopted the strategy of asking men directly. Maybe if the same sort of study were done in other continents, I thought, it would return equally horrifying figures. And lo! Somebody else had the same thought, and the resources to do something about it.

The new report, conducted under the auspices of four United Nations agencies cooperating as “Partners for Prevention”, was published last week in the online version of “The Lancet Global Health”, a respected British medical journal. The study was undertaken quite specifically to learn if the South African figures were duplicated in developing countries outside Africa.

The researchers chose six countries in the region: China, Gwynne Asia-Pacific Cambodia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Dyer Papua New Guinea. As in the South African study, the word “rape” was not used in the questionnaire. The 10,178 men interviewed were asked if they had ever “forced a woman who was not your wife or girlfriend at the time to have sex” or “had sex with a woman who was too drunk or drugged to indicate whether she wanted it.”

There were further questions about forcing a wife or girlfriend to have sex (which is also rape), about gang rape, and about raping males, but for simplicity’s sake let us stick with the questions about what the researchers called “single perpetrator rape” of a woman who was neither wife nor girlfriend. The answers varied from country to country, but the overall picture was clear. Africa (or at least South Africa) is all alone out there.

In most of the Asian countries involved in the study, between 2 and 4 per cent of the men interviewed said that they had raped a “non-partner” woman. That falls into the same range that prevails, one suspects, in most developed countries (although their reported cases of rape are much lower).

There were some local peculiarities, like the fact that in rural Bangladesh men are more likely to get raped than women.

What’s Up?

Letters to the Editor

Cranbrook service

tuesday, SEPTEMBER 17, 2013

China came in surprisingly high, with 6 per cent of the men interviewed admitting to rape, but that may be related to the growing surplus of males in a society where the gender ratio has become very skewed: there are 99 large Chinese cities where more than 125 boys are born for every 100 girls.

But Papua New Guinea was right up there with South Africa: 26.6 per cent of the men interviewed had committed “single perpetrator rape” of a non-partner woman. And the other numbers were just as startling: 14 per cent of PNG men had participated in a gang rape, and 7.7 per cent had raped a man or boy. So Asia as a whole is quite different from Africa on this count — but PNG is practically identical.

What is so special about Papua New Guinea? It is a country with an extravagantly large number of different tribes and languages. It is an extremely violent country, where most people live in extreme poverty. It is a place where the law is enforced only sporadically, and often corruptly. And it is a place where traditional tribal values, patriarchal to the core, reign virtually unchallenged among a large part of the population. Remind you of anywhere?

Well, you already suspected that this was at the root of it, didn’t you? You just didn’t want to say so, for fear of being accused of being racist, anti-African or something of that sort.

But it does need to be said, loudly and repeatedly. Women and girls are more likely to be the victims of sexual violence in Africa than almost anywhere else, and the only way to change that is to change the behaviour of African men. By persuasion if possible, but also by enforcing the law.

Bills come due at BC Hydro

W

hen Christy Clark became premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates.

BC Hydro was heading to the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply for rate increases totalling 32 per cent over three years.

This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single message was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years.

The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Campbell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream.

Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate increases below four per cent in the pre-election period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said.

Then last week, an August working paper on the need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increases totaling 26 per cent

over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Professional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Liberal government.

Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palatable.

BC VIEWS Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011.

Tom COPE 378 and the NDP Fletcher played their rehearsed roles.

Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monopoly on electricity generation.

Energy industry lawyer David Austin calculates that of the proposed 26.4-percent increase, about 3.5 per cent can be attributed to BC Hydro buying power from private sources, at prices competitive with new public power sources such as the Site C dam. Most of it comes from the overdue repairs to those old dams, other costly projects including the addition of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling.

In August I reported that as many as 20

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

of BC Hydro’s existing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environmentally.

In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors.

These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy.

Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production.

Bennett now acknowledges that gasfired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large.

Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

SPORTS BRIEFS Stampeders first team to snare a CFL playoff berth CALGARY - Head coach John Hufnagel hasn’t always been satisfied with the performance of his Calgary Stampeders in games this season, but he can’t argue with the results.

Calgary tops both the league and the West Division at 9-2 and is the first team this season to secure a playoff berth.

The Stampeders have worked for their wins with a constantly rotating cast of characters. All CFL teams deal with injuries in a season, but the theme of Calgary’s season so far is resiliency.

The employment of three different starting quarterbacks has been well documented, but the Stampeders have also been forced to cover gaps on the offensive line, at receiver and in the defensive backfield when starters went down.

It begs the question how much better Calgary would be if they weren’t routinely plugging holes in their lineup.

Tim Thomas agrees to tryout deal with Florida Panthers SUNRISE, Fla. - Tim Thomas wanted back in the NHL. The Florida Panthers wanted goaltending help.

It might be a perfect match.

The two-time Vezina Trophy winner agreed to a tryout deal with the Panthers on Monday, nearly a year and a half removed from his last game in the NHL. Thomas will be on the ice with Florida for practice Tuesday, and Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said his talks with the star of Boston’s run to the 2011 Stanley Cup convinced him that the move was right.

“He really wants to play and he really wants to lead and he really wants to be the starter and he wants to win and he wants to win now,” Tallon said Monday while the Panthers faced Nashville in a preseason doubleheader. “I was very impressed with him. His attitude is terrific. I liked everything that he had to say and I liked his approach. We try to strive to get better every day and I think a good Tim Thomas makes us a better team.”

Kootenay will carry a few extra players into the regular season for a longer look TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It’s crunch time in the WHL as prospects look to solidify their fulltime spots as the regular season looms.

It’s no different for the Kootenay Ice, which has whittled down their roster and now carries 24 players—two goaltenders, eight defencemen and 14 forwards.

Of that total, 18 are returning veterans from last year.

Forwards Hudson Elynuik, Zach Zborosky and Matthew Alfaro, along with blueliners Troy Murray, Dylan Overdyk and Jordan Steenbergen are the remaining holdovers from camp hoping to stick around for their rookie WHL seasons.

Throw in Russian D-man Rinat Valiev,

who hasn’t arrived yet due to visa issues complicated via a strike from the Canadian foreign service workers strike, and competition for fulltime spots gets a lot tighter.

Alfaro, 17, is in his third Ice camp and is pushing for a role up front. He’s made an impact on the scoresheet, scoring twice in four preseason games.

“This was my third WHL camp, so I was a little more experienced before coming in previous years,” said Alfaro, “and unlike last year, I had expectations on myself, put a little more pressure on myself to make this team, because I know I can.”

Alfaro comes to Kootenay from AAA Midget in Calgary, where he played with the North-

MONTE STE WART Canadian Press

SURREY, B.C. - The B.C. Lions are preparing for the possibility that quarterback Travis Lulay won’t play in a key game against Saskatchewan because of a shoulder injury, but a decision on who would take the snaps in Lulay’s place is still up in the air.

B.C. coach Mike Benevides said Monday the club will prepare offensive packages for backup signal-caller Thomas DeMarco and nominal No. 3 Buck Pierce.

“I’m going to get

both of those guys, both Buck and Thomas, prepared right away,” said Benevides at the club’s practice facility.

DeMarco, a second-year pro, has more knowledge of B.C.’s offensive system. But Pierce, a nine-year veteran in his second stint with the Lions after being acquired in a trade from Winnipeg last week, has more CFL experience.

Benevides said he was not ready to make a declaration on who would start if Lulay can’t play. Lulay was injured on the weekend while running for a 14-

stars, tallying 31 points in 33 games.

Though he’s chipped in offensively in the preseason, he still had to adjust to a few things.

“Speed,” Alfaro said.

“When I got the puck back in Midget AAA, I could take the time to make the play, now I’m in the dub, I need to know before I get the puck.

“Less time and space.

More physical, too.”

Alfaro scored in Kootenay’s 8-6 loss to the Everett Silvertips in the

Tri-City tournament, and also lit the goal lamp in Coleman against the the Hitmen last Sunday.

The defensive corps is a little younger this year, which will be led by overager Jagger Dirk. Returnees include Tanner Faith, Matthew Thomas, Landon Peel and Clint Filbrandt, who is coming into his sophomore year after being acquired in an off-season trade from the Americans.

Jordan Steenbergen, at 17, is the elder of the remaining defensive prospects, as Dylan Overdyk and Troy Murray are both 16.

Overdyk was Kootenay’s second-round pick in the 2012 WHL Bantam Draft, behind Troy Murray, who went 10th overall in the opening round.

The blueliner played AAA Bantam hockey with the St. Albert Sabres in the AMBHL last year, scoring five goals and posting seven assists in 32 games.

This was his second time at training camp and his first real crack at making the team for his rookie season “It’s really intense competition, definitely some of the highest I’ve seen before, so it was nice to be a part of it,” said Overdyk, on his training camp experience. “…You’re mostly competing against guys who’ve played in this league before, so you definitely got to elevate your game. You got to change the way you play your game too, to an extent, but mostly, it’s remained the same.”

yard touchdown in a 36-14 victory over the Montreal Alouettes.

Lulay was not at the practice facility while reporters were present.

Benevides said the QB was getting an MRI exam and could be examined again Tuesday.

The coach hopes to be clear on Lulay’s status

by Wednesday, when the Lions return to practice.

“On Wednesday, I’ll have a clearer idea of what I want to do,” said Benevides. “We’re going to get both (DeMarco and Pierce) prepared, because it’s going to take both of them to win a football game.”

The Lions (7-4) have a chance to gain a share of second place in the West Division when they visit the Roughriders (8-3) next Sunday in

Regina.

Lulay told a Vancouver radio station Monday that his shoulder “stiffened up” overnight following the win over Montreal. He also told The Canadian Press on Sunday that he was feeling stiffness, but Benevides said a team doctor was encouraged by the range of motion that the QB’s shoulder displayed following the game.

Zach Johnson gets 1st win of the year at BMW Championship DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. Zach Johnson is having a September to remember, and there’s still one very big week to go.

In one tournament, he made a 25-foot birdie putt on his final hole to earn the last spot on the Presidents Cup team. In the next one, Johnson made a bunch of big putts in the final round of the rain-delayed BMW Championship for a 6-under 65 for a two-shot victory

over Nick Watney.

Next up?

His win Monday at Conway Farms gave Johnson the No. 4 seed going into Tour Championship, giving him a clear shot at the FedEx Cup and its $10 million prize.

“It’s hard to grasp the last two weeks of golf,” Johnson said. “It’s not like you have to win every week to win that FedEx Cup. You’ve just got to win at the right times, or play well at the right times. And I like the momentum I

have for next week.”

Johnson’s 10th career win came at the expense of Jim Furyk, who endured another dose of final-round disappointment. Furyk, who had a one-shot lead, has failed to win the last six times he had at least a share of the lead going into the last round. He holed a 12-foot birdie putt at No. 10 to build a twoshot lead, but played the last eight holes in 2-over and wound up with a 71 to finish alone in third.

Rhymes with Orange

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Last year, my husband and I attended my cousin’s annual summer barbeque. After we arrived, I looked for a place to tie up our dog in the backyard and noticed a few dead rats. They appeared to have been there for some time. I made mention of this to my cousin’s husband, but he made no attempt to remove them even though they were only a few steps away from the barbeque pit.

I tied my dog several feet away from the dead rats. Later, when we returned home, our dog started scratching. This continued for several days until we noticed his fur was falling out. I believe he contracted mange from the dead rats.

We’ve been invited to their “last nice weather barbecue,” but I am reluctant to go. My husband says we should go regardless, but I feel that if they don’t care to get rid of the dead rats in their backyard, they shouldn’t expect to entertain guests there.

And also, the guest bathroom is never clean when we visit. What do you think? -- Disgusted in the Midwest Dear Disgusted: We think your cousin and her husband are not particularly meticulous about their cleaning and don’t care if you notice. And while your dog may have contracted mange from something in their yard, there’s no way to be certain now. You can contact the health department in your city and report the conditions (most municipalities like to know if there is an increased rat population). But that may not solve your problem, which is whether or not to attend another barbecue there. We say give them one last chance -- but don’t bring your dog.

Dear Annie: My 55-year-old niece hasn’t held a job in more than five years. She is bipolar and on medication and is also dependent on painkillers. Her mother kept her husband’s ashes in a box for years, and after her mother died 13 years ago, my niece told me she “just couldn’t let him go.”

This man is not her biological father. But he was a Korean War veteran and deserves to be interred with full military honors at the Great Lakes National Cemetery along with his wife’s remains. It was his wife’s wish to be buried with her husband. Even the husband’s surviving brother and sister have expressed shock and disbelief that his cremains are still in a closet. They want him to be given a proper burial. The military cemetery will provide a niche, a plaque and a service, all of which would cost my niece nothing. Yet, she won’t do it.

Is this the behavior of a normal human being? Or is she being selfish and controlling? -- Speaking for Another Lost Veteran Dear Speaking: Well, if she is bipolar and on painkillers, she may not be entirely rational about this. We assume your niece inherited whatever belonged to her mother, including her stepfather’s ashes. And although he was not her biological father, she still may have been very attached to him.

Instead of being angry and demanding, consider being kind and understanding.

Sympathize with her desire to keep the ashes. Explain how she would be honoring her stepfather by giving him a military burial, and that her mother would wish to be with her husband. You may not think she deserves such consideration, but you are more likely to get the result you want if she doesn’t feel obligated to defend herself.

Dear Annie: I laughed at the letter from “Wondering in Clinton Township,” whose sister gets all bent out of shape when she receives a letter addressed to “Aunt Frances” instead of “Mrs. Frances Smith.” Right now, I am holding a letter addressed to “Grandma Bobbie” and another addressed to “Aunt Grandma.” I really don’t care how it’s addressed, just as long as they write to me. -Fort Myers, Fla.

Margaret Gertrude McLuckie (Nee Oliver) July 20, 1931 September 14, 2013 Margaret passed away peacefully, on the morning of Saturday September 14 at the age of 82, at The Pines Retirement home in Kimberley.

Margaret was born and raised in White Rock, B.C. She later met and married William (Bill) McLuckie who predeceased her in May 2007. They lived in Williams Lake, moved to Fort Steele in 1965 and then to Cranbrook in 1969. During that time she made numerous friends throughout the area of Cranbrook, Kimberley and Wycliffe.

She leaves behind to mourn her: Cheryl McLuckie, Robert (Bob) McLuckie, Barbara Rinehart (Earle), Hugh McLuckie, Patricia Hoy ( Terry), Brian McLuckie (Shawn), 8 grandchildren: Tim Rinehart, Steven Rinehart, Jodi Bretzer (Chris), Jason Hoy (Zoe), Thomas Hoy, Robert McLuckie Jr (BJ), Connor McLuckie, Jordon McLuckie, and 3 great grandchildren Jaymes McKenzie (Tim), Kennedy and Ethan Sande (Zoe).

She will be sadly missed by her family and friends who all hold fond memories of their times spent with her over the years that they knew her.

No funeral service will be held as per her wishes.

With deep regret we announce the passing of Gregory Robert Keith on September 11, 2013 at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital with his wife and sister by his side, after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Greg was born in Saskatoon on July 30,1948 and raised in Regina. He followed his father into the engineering profession with a technologist diploma from Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Technology followed by an Engineering degree from the University of Manitoba. He started his carer working for his father at Keith Consulting and continued on to become the President of a successor company, Keith Project Management. He was working with LVM Highway Technical Engineering Services.

His professional specialty was in the field of highways and transportation on domestic as well as projects abroad.

Although Greg was dedicated to his profession he also pursued his many diverse interests. Throughout his life with Mary they travelled extensively to destinations such as Australia, the Orient, Mexico, Europe and the USA. Along with golf and curling his other life long passion was the restoration of cars and motorcycles.

He was the driving force behind the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Madd Maxx, a motorcycle trip that took a group of old and new friends down numerous secondary roads, and countless adventures throughout Western Canada and the USA for the past 10 years. While at home bird watching, gardening and landscaping his Kimberley backyard filled Greg with joy.

Greg is survived by Mary, his wife of 37 years, his best buddy Louie his dog, his sister Vicki-Lynn (Bill) McMorris, Mother in law Mary Stephen, Sister in law Jean(Ken)Selinger, from Regina, his brother Murray (Denise), Port Moody BC, brother in law Jim Stephen Kamloops and numerous nieces and nephews. Gregâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy going laid back personality attracted may loyal life long friends who will miss him greatly.

Send condolences via http://www.markmemorial.com in Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name.

Special thanks to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital for the tremendous care and compassion shown towards Greg and Mary during recent stays. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the Oncology Dept of the East Kootenay Regional Hospital or a charity of choice.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.

A celebration of life will be held on September 28, 2013 at the Kimberley Elks Hall 1:00-4:00.

A celebration of Margaretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held in Cranbrook for the family and friends, Wednesday September 18th from1 pm to 3pm at the home of Pat and Terry Hoy.

Some trouble with the jewelry Hello Wendy; I was wondering if you could help me solve a riddle about my mom’s jewelry. I am getting on in age and have a hard time walking around or I would come and see you. I have this ring of my mom’s — it’s quite nice and I have three grandchildren that are females. I don’t know which one I should give this ring to. Can you ask my mom which grandchild she would like to have her ring?

Feeling Torn Dear Feeling Torn: Thank you for the names of your mom and your three female grandchildren. This has enabled us to answer your question.

When I contacted your mom she says she knows that you are quite confused about who to give the ring to.

She also stated she has other jewelry that is just as fine. She feels it would be a good idea when you give the ring to your one grandchild; to give away some of the other jewelry at the same time, to the other two. She is pointing to her neck and I see a strand of pearls or stones of some kind and she is telling me they are authentic.

She wants you to give the ring to your oldest grandchild. Your mom was quite close to her and she wants her to have the ring.

There is also a bracelet with charms

on it that she would like you to give it to your youngest grandchild. Well, I guess the necklace goes to the middle grandchild.

She is nodding and smiling at me that I have given you the correct information.

Your mother sure has good taste or should I say your father was sure good in picking out jewelry for your mom.

These three pieces of jewelry if you so choose to give to your grandchildren would be quite a nice gift from their great grandma. Oops, here comes your dad and he is waving to you.

They were a happy couple and got along quite well. Hope this helps you.

Collagen is the key. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen which prevents wrinkles from Clinically forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful Proven! hair, strong nails and denser, more flexible bones. But over the years, collagen diminishes.

Dear Forgetting and Forgiving: Yes, I remember you and we had a nice time talking to your husband and I think you understand now why he treated you the way he did. Really no excuses to treat you so miserably as he and we talked about.

You were together in five past lives and they were not positive past lives as you have experienced in this lifetime.

When I ask if you and he will be together again my guide gave me a positive yes answer. Ah, that Karma— it is a life teacher, is it not?
