A federal prison near Kimberley?

Regional district directors are floating the idea of a maximum security prison in the East Kootenay SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

The East Kootenay’s regional government is adding federal prison to its “file of ideas” that would encourage economic development.

Although the idea would

be a decade down the road, and has not been endorsed by the entire board of directors, Chair Rob Gay told the board on Friday, October 4 that the idea had been presented to him.

Gay and a small group of

board members met with Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks in September to discuss the possibility of a maximum security prison in the East Kootenay.

Gay told the board Friday that of the two federal pris-

ons in B.C., one may need to be relocated after another 10 years.

“So the thoughts were, maybe we should let MP Wilks know that at least our area is interested. We didn’t go any further than that, we

didn’t make any commitments. I just said that I was going to bring that forward to the board and mention that we had that discussion,” said Gay. While he did not state his support for a prison in the

region, Chair Gay did point out that it would bring jobs to the region.

“Federal prisons are economic generators. There is no question. It’s long-term employment; the ratio for these penitentiaries is about one worker for every person who is incarcerated,” he told the board.

A controversial development at Jimsmith Lake has taken another

step through the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors.

An 11-lot subdivi-

The meetings will feature a Director’s Report from Area C Director Rob Gay and presentations on the East Kootenay Energy Diet, Financial Plan and more.

hearing will be held later this month before the board agrees the subdivision can proceed.

Originally proposed last year, the development faced significant opposition from the Jimsmith community due to its one-hectare lots.

But the developer withdraw that application and came back to the regional district with a new plan for 11 two-hectare (five-acre) lots on the 25-hectare property.

“I heard lots from the community the first time; I’ve heard nothing from the community this time. I know the word’s out there because I put the word out there,” said Chair Rob Gay. “I don’t think it’s the end of the world with five-acre lots. I think they’ll be developed properly.”

“It’s in keeping with our land use plans and they’ve met the requirements we asked for.”

Residents at the Dr. F.W. Green Memorial Home donated bird boxes to Ducks Unlimited for use in habitat restoration. The material to make the boxes was donated by Home Hardware, then prefabricated by John Scott, grandson of one of the residents working on the project, then assembled and painted buy the residents. The boxes will be added to the inventory of Ducks Unlimited and used primarily as a wood duck habitat in places like Wardner, Bummers Flats, Elizabeth Lake and the Pickering Hills. Front row, left to right: Green Home residents Ken Roberts, Flo Brown, Marjorie Scott, Helen Fofonoff and Karen Carlson assembled and painted the bird houses. Back row left to right: Kenneth Johnson, Ducks Unlimited manager of event and volunteer relations, made the trip down from Kamloops. Beside him is Joe Messer, Ducks Unlimited local representative, Jordan Torgerson, from Home Hardware, and Brad Woods, from Interior Health.

The property doesn’t connect with the lake shore and is separated by a strip of Crown land. A one-acre corner of the property will stay as a park, and the developer intends to register a covenant that will not allow building, tree removal or earth moving on that piece of land.

The 11 lots will have individual wells and septic systems. On each lot, buildings must be kept to a one-acre envelope, retaining four acres in its natural state.

For each lot that is sold, the developer will give $900 to the regional district for roads and community infrastructure such as pathways.

However, Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski voted against the development, joined by Canal Flats Mayor Ute Juras and Sparwood Mayor Lois Halko.

“Cranbrook city council considered this and voted no. The reason for that was a cumulative impact concern for Jimsmith Lake as a whole,” said Stetski.

A public hearing on the Daprocida development will be held on Thursday, October 24 at 7 p.m. at the Regional District of East Kootenay’s Cranbrook office.

Pacific Coastal announces direct flights to Kelowna new route get off the ground.”

The new route came about through a partnership between Pacific Coastal Airlines, Canadian Rockies International Airport, and Kelowna International Airport.

“We are very excited about adding Kelowna to our list of more than 65 destinations in British Columbia,” said Pacific Coastal Airlines’ Vice President of Commercial Services Spencer Smith. “The addition of this new route is an important part of our strategic development plan and evidence of our ongoing commitment to serving the transportation needs of British Columbia.”

Pacific Coastal’s new Cranbrook-Kelowna

route has been announced two days after the airline began a same-plane flight from Cranbrook to Victoria.

Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski praised Pacific Coastal as outstanding corporate citizens.

“I very much appreciate Pacific Coastal’s loyalty to Cranbrook,” Stetski said. “The new flights to Kelowna will make it much better for people who have medical appointments — particularly in the winter — and also for those who want to visit the Okanagan.

“Pacific Coastal are really great corporate citizens for us, and when you factor in the new Victoria flight they’ve added, they’ve really done our city well.”

Speed limit review announced Cranbrook one of the communities slated for public hearings Jeff Nagel Black Press

Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants B.C. residents to weigh in on a potential increase in highway speed limits now under consideration.

Stone announced the formal review of speed limits Friday in Kamloops although he had previously indicated it was coming and technical work is already underway.

The Coquihalla Highway already has a speed limit of 110 kilometres per hour but traffic there does an average speed of 118, while drivers routinely exceed the posted limit of 90 or 100 on many other provincial highways.

“There’s no question the Coquihalla is a prime candidate for an adjustment in the speed limit,” Stone said, also listing sections of Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland and around Kamloops as well as the Cariboo Connector towards Prince George.

It’s been a decade since B.C. last reviewed speed limits.

daily townsman

Stone said any increases would involve mainly rural provincial highways between communities, not highways in urban areas of the Lower Mainland, although which specific corridors to adjust will be subject to public input.

He said a higher speed limit in some stretches of highway has been made possible by billions of dollars in major road upgrades since the last review in 2003, including 180 additional kilometres of four- or six-lane highway.

He also said vehicles are “much safer today than 10 years ago” as a result of traction stability control, anti-lock brakes and other improvements.

Stone cited a 28 per cent drop in injury-causing collisions since 2003.

And he said research increasingly suggests the greatest danger isn’t necessarily speeding itself, but driving at a much different speed than most other drivers.

A minority of 15 per cent of drivers who

don’t keep up with the flow or who speed excessively are at greater risk of a crash than the other 85 per cent of drivers who may be going somewhat over the posted speed limit, he said.

“This review is not about increasing speed limits, it’s about making sure we have the right speed limits.”

Todd Stone Transportation Minister

Stone stressed decreases in the speed limit are also possible.

“This review is not about increasing speed limits, it’s about making sure we have the right speed limits.”

And he said there will be “no Autobahn” in B.C. where speed limits are lifted altogether.

“I am not interested in making any changes that are going to compromise the safety of motorists.”

He said one option

could be variable speed limits that are higher in the day and lower at night.

The review will pull in fresh research from around the world, and closely consider factors unique to B.C., like its geography and high mountain passes.

The risk of crashes with wildlife will also be a key consideration.

Bright signs that warn of wildlife at night – potentially activated by sensors that detect animals near the highway – are among various options the ministry will consider to counter that risk, particularly on highways where posted limits might rise.

Stone said other technologies being tried elsewhere include automated sirens that scare wildlife off roads in areas where they pose a frequent hazard.

The speed limit review aims to generate recommendations by next spring, when the Legislature reconvenes.

Public forums on the issue will be held in Kamloops, Chilliwack, Vancouver, Nanaimo, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Cranbrook and Kelowna starting in November, with potentially more sites still to be added.

Up close and personal with our reptile friends Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

Usually to get up close and personal with certain rare animals you’d have to head to South America or Central America, but next week you may get a chance. That’s because next week Safari Jeff is bringing a number of rare lizards, snakes and amphibians to Cranbrook.

Safari Jeff is bringing four of his all-ages Animology shows to town on Oct. 10 and 11.

Jeff spoke with the Townsman last week about the his 25th anniversary of touring Canada.

“I’m excited to be back in Cranbrook. It’s been many years since we’ve been there.” Safari Jeff said.

“Animology is a collective of some of my favourite moments in film, some of the cinematography that we’ve done over the years. I’m bringing some of my favourite animals to present as well. It’s a great stage set-up and a very well-received show.”

Jeff said the program talks about all different aspects of nature and the positive roles these animals typically play in their environment. It is a halfhour program, but after the program there is interaction such as a handson opportunity to photograph some of the animals.

“The animals I present are mainly reptiles of course. So mainly different snakes, lizards, giant tortoises, frogs,” he said. “It’s been a very successful tour and you guys are the last tour date. It’s been a great year; we’ve gone across Canada. It is certainly a family show, not just for young kids, but for all ages, from the grandkids to the grandparents.”

Herpetology, or the study of reptiles and amphibians, is Jeff’s specialty.

“I started out when I was quite young growing up in Ottawa, Ontario,” he said. “We have a family cottage there and I would pass the time away by looking for snakes and salamanders, frogs and turtles. It was a very

Safari Jeff

lush habitat and environment for these animals. Essentially, I grew up with these animals.”

Over the years Jeff has toured Canada with a program that is educational, while also offering the excitement to people of being able to see some of the unusual animals that he presents.

“Of course, it’s a multimedia show as well so we film in Costa Rica and different parts of South America,” he explained. “You get to see a lot of other animals on screen, from ants to porcupines and so on. The whole experience is a great nature show.”

There will even be some dinosaur bones on display.

Jeff said that there are people that come to the shows who have phobias of spiders, frogs, snakes and other animals.

“They learn so much about the animals during the show and have such a positive experience that a lot of people with these phobias, especially snakes, really feel much more comfortable after the show,” he said.

“It’s all about the positive experience.”

For him it was always spiders.

“I’m uneasy about too many legs – more than four legs,” he said, but noted, “when you learn more about these animals you get into a comfort zone.”

The free shows are at the Tamarack Centre, Oct. 10 and 11, at 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on both days.

Seats can be reserved by calling 250426-2231.

Prison proposed for Meadowbrook Continued from page 1 A federally owned property near Kimberley was floated as a possible location for a prison – what’s known locally as the old Kimberley airport, between Meadowbrook and Tata Creek off Highway 95A. The idea was first presented by Kimberley councillor Don McCormick, who is originally from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, which has three prisons: the Prince Albert Correctional Centre, Pine Grove Correctional Centre and

the Saskatchewan Federal Penitentiary.

However, Kimberley Mayor Ron McRae pointed out that McCormick was not acting on behalf of the city.

“I just want to point out to the group that the City of Kimberley did not officially authorize what Mr. McCormick did. He did that on his own and the City of Kimberley is not pushing the concept of having a prison within the city limits of Kimberley, nor within the Regional

District of East Kootenay,” McRae told the board.

Chair Gay added that there was no direct outcome from the meeting.

“If people come forward with economic development ideas that may create jobs, we’ll listen to it, but we didn’t endorse anything, we didn’t support anything, it was just under our file of ideas,” he said.

“We talked about what’s the possibility, and they said, like five per cent.”

Reach a Reader campaign makes a difference in Cranbrook For the Townsman

Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy are collecting donations for the 3rd Annual Reach a Reader! By making a donation to this campaign, you are supporting literacy programs in your community. Thank you for making the difference.

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is the Columbia Basin and Boundary region not-for-profit literacy organization. CBAL programs help seniors, adults, families, youth and children of all ages improve English, reading, writing, numeracy, computer and workplace skills.

In Cranbrook, family literacy programs aim to provide parents and caregivers with the skills needed to support their children’s literacy development. Since their inception CBAL has been managing the two StrongStart Centres at Amy Woodland Ele-

mentary School and Steeples Elementary School on behalf of the school district. PALS is for all parents with children in Kindergarten to Grade 2.

This is a free, fun, information-packed series of evenings with dinner included and the whole family is invited to attend. This program is new and we are pleased to partner with Paq’mi Nuq’yuk Early Learning Years and the Aboriginal Education program at Mount Baker Secondary School.

Now in its fifth year, the Young Parents Education Program (YPEP) is a program for parents who have not completed Grade 12 and have pre-school aged children. In partnership with the College of the Rockies and others such as the Infant Development Program, Paq’mi Nuq’yuk and Bellies to Babies the YPEP program provides academic instruction along with parenting, life and work

skills for the parents and a quality children’s program on-site for the children. YPEP accepts continuous intake and is free!

As well, CBAL offers a number of adult literacy programs that provide adult learners with the tools and skills needed to be successful in the modern world.

We provide seniors and adult computer lessons throughout the year in partnership with the Cranbrook Public Library as well as Joseph Creek Care Village. New programs this year include autobiographical writing for seniors, a series of poetry workshops and financial literacy programs for youth and for the general public.

We provide one-to-one literacy tutoring for adults. CBAL also provides English as Another Language instruction and literacy or essential skills tutoring.

Don’t say NIMBY, say YIMBY

S

ome people say “NIMBY” — Not In My Backyard. We say “YIMBY” — Yes, In My Backyard.

The RDEK is blue-skying the idea of a new federal penitentiary located up Kimberley way, between Meadowbrook and Tata Creek to be precise. And while admitting that the possibility of this happening is about five per cent, any proposal that generates jobs will be duly considered.

And create jobs they will. One worker for every person incarcerated. And we know that good times or bad, there will always be the need for jails. People will continue to misbehave, and punitive measures will continue to be taken.

Now we understand that penitentiary jobs aren’t for everybody. One probably requires a thick skin, a certain degree of toughness, and a certain amount of training. But then again, one could say that about the newspaper business.

For those whom the idea of a jail full of angry men (or women) is a little off-putting, we say relax. The days of “In The Desperate Hours” are long gone.

Prisons are now super secure, and — pending the closure of Kingston Pen — more comfortable and humane. And for those who don’t think jails should be

comfortable or, ahem, humane, well, perhaps if the issue goes to referendum, we can vote on the type of jail we want for our region.

Speaking of “In the Desperate Hours,”

it might also behoove us to remember that sure, escapes might happen once in a blue moon, but the woods surrounding the would-be prison are full of grizzly bears. Talk about your deterrents.

Chicken dancing days in Kimberley

O

n Saturday, October 5, Kimberley was a good place to be doing the chicken dance in the Platzl. Or putting on a costume and marching in the children’s parade. Or maybe donning the lederhosen or a dirndl and getting into the Oktoberfest spirit.

It was the last First Saturday of the season in the Platzl on Saturday, and what a great day! We even got a little sunshine in addition to live music and great food and drink. The Platzl was crowded with people — so very nice to see.

So it’s time for a big cheer for those who decided to try a little something different this year, to get a little something happening in the Platzl on select Saturdays. It was a concept that required buyin from a lot of different groups and right from the get-go last May, a lot of different organizations were a part of it. Led by the Kimberley Arts Council, Tourism Kimber-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ley and the City’s Economic Development department, along with groups like the Kimberley Mining Railway, the Kimberley Dynamiters, the Steppin’ Out Dancers, the Bavarian Barbarian roller derby team, Platzl merchants, artisans and so many more, First Saturdays brought a much needed boost to Kimberley’s downtown.

It was so nice to see the smiles on Saturday, to see Kimberley’s citizens from eight months to 80 dancing in the Platzl.

This is a concept that needs to continue.

This year some funding from CBT’s Community Initiatives fund was available to help with First Saturdays. Next year, those funds won’t be available. But First Saturdays need to go on. Partnerships need to be found to make it possible.

Because everyone in Kimberley needs a chance to do the chicken dance once in a while.

The short window to cross the Gray Creek Pass seems to have closed for this season. These photos were taken at the pass’s highest point, Oliver Lake, on Thursday, October 3. Tom Lymbery, owner of Gray Creek Store, said the snow may melt, extending the season a little longer.

Letters to the Editor

Hats off to the Cranbrook Regional Hospital

Hats off to the Cranbrook Regional Hospital.

On September 14, 2013, I fell and broke my femur. The ambulance people were quick to come to my aid.

Once I was in the hospital, I was made comfortable. That afternoon Dr. Chaney operated — explaining to my husband

and me what his plan of attack was.

My surgery went well and for 17 days of stay in the hospital, the doctors, nurses, student nurses, staff and volunteers were very positive, efficient. I was well cared for.

By the 15th day I had decided that I could run the whole hospital (ha ha) but was disappointed that they wouldn’t let me!

I stayed two more days, and they were

getting tired of me bossing everyone around (LOL) so again the wonderful ambulance people took me to my home, as I couldn’t do stairs.

I have only been in our hospital twice in 43 years, and I must say that we should be proud and lucky for the facility and the caring people we have here in Cranbrook.

Read to your child whatever their age

O

ctober is Canadian Library Month and this year’s theme is “Libraries Connect.” The Cranbrook Public Library connects kids to books, parents to programs, and the community to the world.

Give your child a great start to this connection to the world by encouraging them to read.

Start reading with cloth books or board books. Look for books with simple and clear pictures and point to the pictures as you read.

Talking about the pictures enhances your child’s vocabulary.

Read the stories over and over — let your child tell you the story or fill in some words.

Read books with stories that rhyme. Rhythm and rhyming make stories flow and roll with ease.

Singing is a good way to help your child hear syllables. Add

actions which help your child break down language into separate words.

As you are reading ask questions and encourage your child to tell you about what is going on or what is going to happen next.

Read together! Choose a time when you are relaxed and happy. Cuddle with your children as you look at the book together. Choose books that you enjoy and your enthusiasm for reading will encourage your child to read. Share books with your baby, toddler and older children every day.

Young children learn by observing and imitating adults, especially their parents. So read yourself and let your kids catch you reading.

Make regular family trips to your public library with everyone choosing their own books.

Check out our virtual library at

www.cranbrookpubliclibrary. ca/elibrary/. Add stories to your e-book reader or smartphone. Look at Library to Go and Tumblebooks.

Programs that introduce children to the joys and wonder of reading take place throughout the year in the Storytime Horseshoe at the Cranbrook Public Library. Toddlers, from birth to three years, and their caregivers are invited to come on Friday moårnings at 10 or 11 for stories and songs.

Preschoolers, aged three to five, and their caregivers are welcome to come on Wednesdays at 11 and 1:15 for stories, fingerplays and puppet stories.

Families are encouraged to come on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Storytimes give parents an opportunity to listen to stories presented to children and provide a place where parents can

socialize with other caregivers and young children can meet others their age.

The Cranbrook Public Library has much to offer children living in Cranbrook and Area C. Children can join the Cranbrook Public Library by bringing their parents into the library to sign them up for their own free library card. Find out more about events at the library by checking our website at www.cranbrookpubliclibrary. ca or like us on Facebook.

For more information about the library’s services to children please contact Deanne Perreault, children’s and youth librarian at the Cranbrook Public Library at 250-426-4063 ext.

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Jagger Dirk and the Kootenay Ice put in some overtime on the weekend.

Literally.

First in Calgary, where the Hitmen skated away with a 4-3 OT win on Friday night.

Then the team lost rearguards Landon Peel and Tanner Faith to injury over the next two games, and Dirk and the rest of the defensive corps had to make do with only five bodies.

Kootenay managed to earn some revenge against Calgary with a 4-2 victory on home ice on Saturday, before dropping a 4-3 decision to the Seattle Thunderbirds on Sunday.

“Faither’s a very core guy, plays a lot of minutes and we rely heavily on him. Even with Peeler out too, he plays a lot of minutes and we rely on him too,” said Dirk, following Sunday’s game against Seattle.

“The rookies and the first-year guys are going to have to step up and make the most of their minutes and try to help the team win.”

Peel was scratched on Saturday, while Faith went hard into the boards on Sunday and was favouring his left shoulder when being helped off the ice by trainer Cory Cameron.

For three games in three nights, the team didn’t handle the mental and physical demands as well as they wanted to by the final contest, said Dirk, , one of two 20-year-old veterans on the team.

Especially on the defensive end, there was trouble moving puck in the on Sunday against Seattle.

“We gave a good push in the second and third, but in the first period, the D-corps

wasn’t moving pucks as efficiently as we were the first two games,” Dirk said.

“I don’t know if that’s from a lack of mental concentration or lack of focus, but it’s unacceptable.”

Seattle, which was on a three-game road swing throughout the Central Division, won their first two against the Medicine Hat Tigers and the Lethbridge Hurricanes before sealing it up in Cranbrook against the Ice. The team features the 2012 1st overall bantam draft pick in Matt Barzal and Anaheim’s first-round selection in D-man Shea Theodore—both of whom put in a strong performance. Also former Ice forward Erik Benoit landed in Seattle as an overeager after getting released from the Saskatoon Blades.

The T-Birds jumped to a early two-goal lead on efforts from Roberts Lipsbergs and Mitch Elliot. However, Jon Martin shovelled the puck across the goal line during a scramble in front of the net by the time the opening period buzzer sounded.

Kootenay tied it up when Jaedon Descheneau found Reinhart in front of the net, who rang the puck off the post and in less than a minute into the second frame.

Barzal put Seattle back in the lead on a four-on-two rush in to the Kootenay zone a couple minutes later.

At the halfway mark of the period, the Reinhart and Descheneau duo struck again on the powerplay, when the latter received a pass all alone in front of T-Birds goalie Danny Mumaugh. Descheneau, showing great patience, faked forehand to backhand and tucked the puck past Mumaugh’s leg pad and into the goal.

“Our forwards need to do a good job of getting the puck behind their defencemen and working the cycle and wearing them

down,” said Dirk, “so by the end of the second and third period, we’re creating more scoring chances because they’re tired and making mental mistakes.”

The two teams remained locked at 3-3 into the final frame, but Justin Hickman took advantage of some misplays in the Kootenay zone, collecting the puck and firing it into the net with five minutes remaining.

It looked like the Ice tied it up with the extra attacker in the final minute, when Zach McPhee had a wide open net to shoot at, but Mumaugh made a spectacular sprawling glove save to keep Kootenay from forcing overtime.

Wyatt Hoflin got the start in goal for the Ice, making 34 saves in defeat, while Kootenay peppered 42 shots on Mumaugh.

Seattle has a lot of size on the roster, and they used it to set a physical tempo for most of the game.

“They’re a big team, but we coped pretty well, I thought, with the physical side,” noted Dirk. “But we don’t have to put ourselves in position to take big hits or get hit if we do move the puck efficiently and get it behind the the defencemen, so we just got to concentrate on doing those things consistently for a full 60 minutes.”

Prior to Sunday’s contest, the Ice had a home-and-home series with the Hitmen on Friday and Saturday.

It was a penalty-laden affair on Saturday, with eight powerplays for Kootenay and five for Calgary.

Kootenay took an early three-goal lead, first with a marker from Descheneau on the man-advantage, who scooped up a rebound to put it home.

Leafs beat Nitros 3-1 to snap Kimberley’s undefeated record Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Trevor Crawley photo

UNDER PRESSURE: Kru Huska of the Mount Baker Wild soccer squad dishes the ball off to a teammate during a game against Nakusp Secondary School on Friday afternoon at the Mount Baker field. The Wild played five games over the course of their home tournament over the weekend, finishing in fourth place. The tournament also featured the Selkirk Storm from just up the road in Kimberley.

Ice salvage three of six possible points Continued from page 8 The Ice were awarded with a two-man advantage for 1:26 in the second period, and Kootenay made Calgary bleed. First it was Luke Philp with a bullet slap shot from the point 14 seconds in, and then Reinhart rifled a shot off the iron and into the goal on the remaining powerplay.

Josh Thrower responded late in the period, and Virtanen tallied for the Hitmen in the final frame to pull within one, however, Martin sealed the win late in the game with a highlight reel goal.

Stealing the puck in the offensive zone, Martin headed to the corner, cut into the slot, and roofed a backhand shot over the shoulder of Driedger.

“The D had the puck there and I just chased him,” said Martin. “I guess he tried passing it, and I intercepted that pass and cut in, just pulled it in and went to the roof there, so it was good.

“A good feeling, it doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s awesome.”

With three powerplay goals for the Ice, special teams was a huge factor in the game, said Dirk.

“We scored three power play goals. That was the difference-maker. They only scored one powerplay goal. Gives us a two-goal advantage,” Dirk said.

“It’s very important in this league. Games are won and lost on special teams.”

Accident on racetrack hospitalizes Franchitti at IndyCar Championship HOUSTON - Will Power held off new IndyCar championship leader Scott Dixon to win the second race of the Grand Prix of Houston on Sunday. The race ended when Dario Franchitti’s car went airborne into the fence on the final lap.

Franchitti was taken to a hospital, but team owner Chip Ganassi said he was alert and complaining only of a sore ankle and back.

Dixon took over the IndyCar points lead 11 laps into the race when Helio Castroneves’ car stopped on the course because of a broken gearbox.

Dixon didn’t force the issue with Power, who was doing all he could to hold off Power and help teammate Castroneves by denying Dixon any more points.

Associated Press

Skapski guarded the net for the Ice and made 26 saves for the win.

Earlier, on Friday night, Kootenay suffered a 4-3 OT loss after surrendering a two goal lead.

Descheneau and Dirk added early goals, before Brady Brassart and Jaynen Rissling responded for Calgary.

Descheneau got his second of the night but Greg Chase answered for the Hitmen with four minutes left in the game to force OT. Kootenay took a penalty in the extra frame, and Rissling found the

back of the net to win it for Calgary.

Skapski was in the crease for Kootenay, making 28 saves in a losing cause.

NOTES: Reinhart and Descheneau are ripping it up on the scoresheet. Reinhart currently has five goals and 11 assists for 16 points in six games, while Descheneau has tallied seven goals and seven assists for 14 points in six games. Reinhart is currently second in the WHL scoring race behind Mitch Holmberg of the Spokane Chiefs.

Nothing good lasts forever.

The Kimberley Dynamiters had their regulation unbeaten record sullied by the Leafs in Nelson on Saturday night, suffering a 3-1 loss at the hands of their hosts.

After a scoreless opening period, the Leafs tallied a goal in the second period, and added a pair in the final frame, while the Nitros were only able to respond with a single marker.

Kimberley falls to second place in the Eddie Mountain division, one point behind the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, however, the Nitros have a game in hand.

Associated Press

DUBLIN, Ohio - The Presidents Cup ended Sunday the same way it always goes - an American celebration after Tiger Woods delivers the winning point.

Woods’ back flared up on him again in the final hour at Muirfield Village. He still managed to hang on to beat Richard Sterne, 1 up, to give the Americans the 18 points they needed to win the Presidents Cup for the fifth straight time.

It was the third straight Presidents

deadlock three minutes into the opening period to put the Leafs in the lead. Kimberley held the edge in shots in the first two frames, however, Moffat never let anything by him.

Kimberley tied up the game on a goal from defenceman Charlie Dagostin at the halfway point of the period.

However, Wellman got his second of the game on a shorthanded effort with six minutes to go and Jamie Vlanich added an empty netter with 63 seconds remaining in the game.

Kimberley has a mid-week game against the Columbia Valley Rockies on Wednesday on home ice at the Civic Centre.

Cup that Woods won the cup-clinching match - all three with Fred Couples as the captain.

“It was a team effort this whole week,” said Woods, who went 4-1 for the best record of any player. “We really played well to give ourselves a nice lead.”

Hunter Mahan quickly dispatched of Hideki Matsuyama. Jason Dufner never trailed in beating Brendon de Jonge. Zach Johnson overwhelmed Branden Grace, keeping the South African winless for the week.

Horoscopes

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are a very independent sign, yet you demonstrate an ability to keep your eye on the big picture. You interact well with a partner who clearly has different ideas. The fact that you are looking for the optimum path to success wins over others.

Tonight: Look at the bottom line.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Defer to others, and keep in mind that you can’t force them to think as you would like them to. You still can be involved, but you might not be the dominant player that you typically are. Fun opportunities will open up in response to this change. Tonight: Let the party begin.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You believe that a lot can happen and be established if you encourage a free exchange of ideas and let everything happen as it needs to. By releasing your need for control, you’ll allow more creativity. You might want to sit on a problem for now. Tonight: Get some exercise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your playful side emerges when dealing with others. Remember, not everyone feels as carefree as you do. Though you might be tuned in to your feelings, it is important to examine what is going on with those around you.

Tonight: Funnel your playfulness into a fun happening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tension seems to build at the slightest setback. You even might decide to stay home and work from there, if possible. You could be off-kilter until you hear from a loved one or a child. Focus on your foundations and try to remain centered. Tonight: Plan a get-together with friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will want to understand what is happening with a close associate, neighbor or relative.

Instead of playing the guessing game, make the call. This person simply might not want to talk; however, should you get a response, be sure not to push.

Tonight: Stay open-minded.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Do not allow your more posses-

Tundra

sive side to take over. How you see a money matter might be a lot different from how someone else sees the same situation. Try not to get involved if your views are too different. You have a unique style of communicating.

Tonight: Call a close friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Pull back and distance yourself from a trying matter. You will see life from a totally different perspective as a result. You also might feel much more together than you have in a very long time. You have no need to get involved in an argument right now. Tonight: All smiles.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to revisit a personal matter. Discussions need to be caring and not forced too much in someone else’s face. You have witnessed this problem build up, and you might want to make a suggestion. In this case, however, the less said the better.

Tonight: Opt for some rest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on your priorities quickly and efficiently. You know what is reasonable and what needs

to occur in order to expand and head in a new direction. You seem so much more contained and pleased than you have in the recent past. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) As nice as you might want to be with someone, you could find that you have a problem. Understand what is happening within your immediate circle, but also recognize the need for leadership. Are you ready to step up to the plate? Tonight: Get together with a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You see and understand some of the miscommunications that are occurring. Your detachment permits this perspective. If you decide to help, you could lose this objectivity. Be caring no matter which way you decide to go. Tonight: Relax and choose a favorite pastime.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Six years ago, I tried to take my own life. I was a popular high school student, excelled at sports and had a girlfriend and a supportive family who were always there for me. People thought I had it all. What they didn’t realize was that I was struggling with debilitating depression.

One night, when things seemed hopeless and I felt my life was too much for me to handle, I decided to jump out of my ninth-story bedroom window. Luckily, I survived and am able to share my story in the hope that it will help others.

Why would I suffer from depression? As a male, statistics say I am far less likely to have depression than females. I also am African American -- a group that traditionally has low depression and suicide rates. But statistics don’t matter if you are the one who is suffering.

What I want everyone who reads this to know is that depression affects all walks of life. It doesn’t matter your age, gender, economic status, race, color or creed. Depression does not discriminate. The good news is that help is available.

October 10 is National Depression Screening Day. I encourage anyone who may be struggling to visit HelpYourselfHelpOthers. org and take an online depression screening. The screenings are free, easy and anonymous, and provide resources that allow people who may be depressed to take a first step toward healing.

While I still deal with depression, I am alive today because I got the help I needed. Sincerely -- Jordan Burnham Dear Jordan: Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and mentioning National Depression Screening Day. Depression can affect anyone, no matter their circumstance.

A screening can be a helpful way for those struggling with depression to receive the help they need. We encourage our readers to visit HelpYouselfHelpOthers.org. If you or someone you know is in suicidal crisis or emotional distress, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273TALK (8255).

Dear Annie: My granddaughter is having a destination wedding in Hawaii, where she lives and works. I live on the East Coast, and so do all of the other family members. Going to Hawaii would mean a long, expensive trip, plus the cost of a hotel and meals. What is the protocol concerning gifts in lieu of attending this high-cost wedding? -- Grandma’s Not Going Dear Grandma: Etiquette says the wedding gift should be the same regardless of your personal expenses. But we understand that people often give more or less depending on what it costs them to attend. We only ask that you keep in mind the fact that as the grandmother, any gift from you will have special significance.

Dear Annie: I wanted to thank you for printing my letter years ago. I asked what to do about my two sisters who were not speaking to each other, yet one secretly sent Christmas presents to me to give to the other. I signed it, “Tired of Being in the Middle.”

You told me to stop enabling them and instead offer to mediate. That was a relief. I was honest with both of them. They still don’t want to meet, but now I don’t have to lie about the presents. I am friendly with both and willing to keep each up to date on what the other is doing. I recently took a vacation with one sister and told the other about the adventures we had. I simply refuse to let this feud force me to choose sides. Thanks. -- Not in the Middle Now Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Top Ten Reasons to Advertise in a Newspaper

A five year survey of more than 3,000 companies found that advertisers who maintained or expanded advertising during a troubled economy saw sales increase an average of 100%.

4. Continuous Advertising Strengthens Your Image.

When people who postpone buying come back to the marketplace, you’ve got a better chance of getting their business if you’ve continued to maintain a solid, reliable image.

5. Direct Advertising is Cost Efficient.

Direct has the advantages – demographic and geographic numbers to afford advertisers the best value and exposure for their advertising dollar.

6. Advertise to Generate Traffic.

Continuous traffic is the first step toward sales increases and expanding your base of buyers. The more people who contact you, the more possibilities you have to make sales.

7. Advertise to Make More Sales.

Advertising works! Businesses that succeed are usually strong, steady advertisers. Look around. You’ll find the most aggressive and consistent advertisers are almost invariably the most successful.

8. Advertise Because There is Always Business to Generate.

Salespeople are on the payroll. As long as you’re in business, you have overhead and you’ve got to advertise to generate a steady cash flow.

9. Advertise to Keep a Healthy Positive Image.

In a troubled economy, rumors and bad news travel fast.

Advertising corrects gossip, shoots down false reports and projects positively.

10. Advertise to Maintain Employee Morale.

When advertising and promotion are cut, salespeople become less motivated. They may believe the store is cutting back, even going out of business.

Call today and start advertising.

On Friday, September 20, students from the UVIC East Kootenay Teacher Education program at College of the Rockies participated in a professional development session with Mainstream Environmental Society. Mainstream’s Stream Trailer provided the opportunity for students to observe the mechanics of stream erosion first-hand. Through exposure to professional development opportunities such as this, it is hoped the students will be inspired to bring similar activities into their own classrooms in the future.

Fernie explorer to speak in Cranbrook Submit ted

Legendary Fernie explorer, author, and speaker Jon Turk will tour the Kootenays this fall, sharing personal stories from his many adventures in the world’s wildest places.

One of National Geographic’s 2012 Top 10 Adventurers of the Year, Jon has led human-powered expedi-

tions all over the world, from the Canadian Arctic to Siberia and Kamchatka, and from the Himalayas to South America’s notorious Cape Horn.

In storytelling fashion, backed by stunning imagery, Jon Turk will take his audience on a trans-global journey: sea kayaking in the Solomon Islands,

the circumnavigation of Ellesmere Island in the polar Arctic, a bicycle ride across the Tibetan plateau to the birthplace of the Dalai Lama, and into our own backyards.

“The Kootenays are an integral part of planet Earth,” explained Turk with his unique global perspective, “and by starting here, we join with other people in other communities, working within other organizations, to join hands for the common good.”

Jon is working with Wildsight to highlight

JON TURK how important it is to preserve our own backyards, to highlight why wild places like the Flathead, the David Thompson Heritage Lands, or the Heart of the Purcells

are so critical for healthy communities.

“This journey that we talk about, while global in nature, is implemented one person at a time, one river valley at a time, one ecosystem at a time,” explained Turk.

Turk will visit seven communities across the Kootenays. He will stop in Cranbrook on Friday, October 18, speaking at the Key City Theatre at 7:30 p.m.

For more information, contact Erna Jensen Shill, 250-427-2535 ext. 224 or erna@wildsight.ca.
