Smoke detectors for seniors Fire Department will assess efficacy of smoke detectors, free of charge C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin

Kimberley Fire Department members have launched a new Smoke Detector program for seniors.

It’s Fire Prevention Week in Kimberley and across Canada and the Kimberley Fire Department is launching a new Smoke Detector program for seniors.

Asst. Fire Chief Rick Prasad explains that Kimberley seniors can call for a no-charge smoke detector evaluation by a Kimberley Fire Department member.

“If during the inspection there is a need, we will change batteries, relocate, or provide you with a new or additional smoke detector,” Prasad said.

Smoke detectors do age to a point where they are no longer useful, the assistant chief said.

“Statistically speaking, the senior population is twice as likely to be involved in a fire fatality as underscored by a recent incident in the lower mainland. Two seniors succumbed to smoke related injuries, as the investigation revealed the smoke alarms were in excess of 25 years old.

“On Saturday night officers stopped two vehicles traveling well above the posted speed limit on highway 95A between Kimberley and Marysville. One driver showed signs of impairment but failed to provide a sample of his breath. He was issued a 90-day IRP and his vehicle impounded for 30 days. The penalty is the same as impaired driving.”

Newel says members planned to be out in the area as much as possible, to set up road checks to target impaired driving and other motor vehicle infractions, and as things went, they ended up being out there more during the day than at night.

“During the day, officers gave out two - 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions (IRP) for impaired driving and one 24 hour prohibition for impaired by drugs,” Newel said. “Charges are being recommended for one

Hopley’s Dangerous Offender hearing continues At best, psychiatric reports describe Hopley as a “dishevelled, sulky young man”; at worst, he is a danger to society.

SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Randall Hopley was described as a narcissist with a deficient social conscience and a danger to society in a psychiatric assessment dating back to 1985, when he was 20 years old.

Now 48, Hopley has pleaded guilty to the abduction in September 2011 of three-year-old Kienan Hebert in Sparwood. The boy was returned home apparently unharmed, four days after he was taken from his bed in the middle of the night.

This week, Hopley is the subject of a dangerous offender hearing in Cranbrook Supreme Court, a continuation of the sentencing hearing that

Justice Heather Holmes will decide whether Hopley should be considered a dangerous offender. This status would give Hopley an indeterminate prison sentence within a minimum period of seven years before parole.

The dangerous offender hearing reconvened Tuesday, October 8 after Hopley was given a pass Monday to attend his mother’s funeral in Fernie.

In Tuesday’s evidence, Crown prosecutor Lynal Doerksen presented several reports prepared on Hopley after he sexually assaulted a five-yearold boy in Hosmer in 1985.

Hikers head into the Nature Park for the Friendly Fungi hike last weekend.

Into the woods For the Bulletin

Kimberley Nature Park Society offers you a chance to get out on the trails to enjoy the western larch trees before they shed their needles. The annual Larch Hike will take place on Monday, October 14 and is suitable for all walkers. We expect the larch to be at their brilliant, golden best and interspersed with the green shades of the pines and firs. The various willows and shrubs add to the colour mix with their yellow and red fall hues. Join us for this hike to Dipper Lake before the wind strips the needles and leaves for another year.

There are two starting points. You

can choose to meet at the Nordic Centre at 9 a.m. for a mainly-flat eight kilometre round-trip lasting about four hours. Or you can meet at the junction of St. Mary Road and Mathew Creek Road at 9:30 a.m. for a short car pool then a moderate four kilometre round-trip hike for approximately three hours. Both parties will meet at Dipper Lake where you have the option of exchanging car keys with a friend and hiking out the other route.

For information call Struan Robertson (427-5048). Always a popular end of season outing, the Larch Hike offers outdoor exercise with friends before the cooler weather sets in.

Bill Olmsted of Kimberley Nature Park Society was leader of a large group of participants on a ‘Friendly Fungus’ hike this weekend. Over fifty people turned out to tramp through Horse Barn Valley with Bill and to learn about fungi life, where they come from, and how to identify the different species. This is an annual event but weather and atmospheric conditions have made this years showing of mushrooms and the various fungi, the most spectacular crop for a long time.

Dangerous offender hearing continues Continued from page 1 In the first report, prepared by psychiatrist Dr. Philip Adilman in 1985, Hopley is described as “borderline retarded”. The report stated Hopley minimized his involvement in sexual assaults and experienced no significant remorse or insight into how to change his behaviour. Hopley is likely to reoffend without consistent treatment over a significant amount of time, the report

continued.

In another report, also from 1985, psychologist Dr. William Koch describes Hopley as both a “dishevelled, sulky young man” and a danger to society with an absence of any remorse, deep resentment of authority figures and as being highly resistant to attempts to regulate his behaviour.

Hopley was in prison from 1985 to 1987 for the Hosmer

sexual assault. When he sought parole during that period, Corrections Services prepared reports stating that he had “done very little to gain an understanding of his offences”.

Corrections Services staff said Hopley was in desperate need of treatment for his “sexual problem”, but he had not sought that treatment while in custody.

Hopley, who has an IQ of 65, did not register the seri-

ousness of his offenses, the reports stated.

On Monday, the court heard that by the age of 17, Hopley had already been involved in three sexual assaults in his foster home, and had a history of starting fires.

The sentencing hearing for Randall Hopley continues in Cranbrook Supreme Court tomorrow, when a psychiatric assessment performed last year will be presented.

Smoke detectors From Page 1 “Evidence suggests the smoke alarms were not operational and did not offer any early warning.”

One of the things the Fire Department will be looking for in the evaluation is locatio of smoke detectors.

“In BC, residential smoke alarms must be installed in hallways or outside of bedrooms,” Prasad said. “Often this is not the case. As well smoke alarms typically have a service life of 10 years and should be replaced on or before the 10 year mark.

The batteries should be replaced at least twice annually. Typically it’s easy to remember to do this when the time change occurs in the fall and spring.

The Kimberley Fire Department recommends testing them on the first day of every month.”

The Kimberley Fire Department has 50 smoke detectors available that will be offered to seniors along with an evaluation.

If you are a senior, or know of a senior who would like to take part in this program, please contact the Kimberley Fire Department weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 PM to request an inspection.

Cranbrook urban deer are safe for the rest of the year, since the city won’t be doing a deer cull this fall. At the regular meeting Monday night, council approved a recommendation from the Cranbrook Urban Deer Committee to do a deer count and skip the cull.

“Basically the way we’ve been determining how and where to do the cull has been based on complaints to the deer council,” coun.

Bob Whetham, who is a member of the deer committee as well, said.

“So they are focused on particular areas where we had issues with public safety concerns.”

However, this year they’ve found that complaints are down.

Whetham said the most recent counts is from earlier this year, so it’s hard to pinpoint the number of deer in the city.

Whetham explained how the deer count is done.

“It’s all conducted at the same time,” he said.

“There is one driver and a spotter and they drive every road and lane way in the city.”

At the same time there are teams spotting deer all over the city and in this way the deer in direct view of the street are counted giving an estimate of the numbers in the city. Deer that are hidden in the bushes or behind fences are not counted.

“Really what it gives you is the minimum number of animals,” Whetham said. “It doesn’t necessarily reflect the total number of deer that are out there.”

Whetham said that since the count is done the same every time, it is still fairly accurate.

“Overall, there have been a lot less deer in Baker Hill than in the last few years, but they are coming back,” said coun. Angus Davis, who lives in that area.

Whetham said the committee would conduct another deer count and then perhaps bring

back another recommendation next year.

“But one thing that was very important was that it was time to get input on the deer management program in general,” he said, adding that the committee will be putting out a survey. “A lot of information has been made available since we started on this and I think we need to know where the public sits in terms of options available to us and how we should proceed.”

Mayor Wayne Stetski said the court case involving urban deer that Invermere is involved in is supposed to be in court this week in Vancouver.

“It’s been delayed a couple of times but they’re hoping that it will actually go through the courts starting this week,” he said.

As part of a referendum ballot on a recreation hall, Invermere will be conducting a survey of residents as to what they want to do around management of urban deer.

Stetski also met with the premier and ministers in Vancouver at the UBCM last month mentioning urban deer management as a top priority. He said the result was the province will be putting together a small committee to look at tools that may be available in the future for dealing with urban deer.

Last year there were 53 deer euthanized by conservation officers after being hit by vehicles and entangled in fences.

Whetham said the education programs combined with more residents fencing gardens and shrubbery has helped to keep the deer numbers slightly lower.

Stetski encouraged people who encounter aggressive deer to phone the CO. “If they are really aggressive the conservation officer might be able to deal with it assuming you can identify clearly which one is the aggressor,” he said.

Trail sustainability for Kimberley Part II of II

CHRIS FERGUSON For the Bulletin

I

n the last piece written under this title, the social sustainability of trails in Kimberley was emphasized. A sustainable trail network needs human effort and some degree of investment. But as important is the physical layout of the network and the actual design and building of the trails themselves. In this article, the ‘physics’ of trail sustainability will be discussed with the hope that people will understand why trails are being built the way they are and to respect that in their use of them. Entire books have been written about this, so this will necessarily only cover the basics.

A sustainable trail is one that is built in such a fashion so that natural erosive forces (primarily moving water) and forces generated on the trail by expected user groups can be withstood in the long term, with minimal ongoing maintenance. There is a complex matrix of factors which determine how able a trail is to withstand these forces, especially from the latter category. Decades of experience in parks and on government lands around the world, as well as academic research, have led to the most contemporary notions of how to design sustainable trails.

Where to begin? Let’s start with the ground around Kimberley, a huge factor that we can do nothing to change and must work with as best we can. Topographically, Kimberley’s many rolling hills, ridges, benches and Northstar Mountain make for a great trails area. Geologically, considering what our ground is made up of, we are far less fortunate. The underlying bedrock in this area is, broadly speaking, smooth (small grains/crystals) and almost never exposed as solid bedrock. The retreat of the glaciers thousands of years ago has left a thick coat of water rounded and transported debris in various mixtures almost everywhere below the base level of the Nordic Centre.

Plenty of sands, fine silts and an absence of much loamy soil makes for poor building materials for trails, and leaves trail surfaces especially prone to erosion. Where the cobble sizes are large or they are in dense concentrations, the building is slow and more difficult. Rounded cobbles are very poor for doing rock work that is sometimes needed to shore up trail edges. Above this debris elevation, there is typically a very thin amount of mineral soil over and around very shattered rock. This too is difficult to work with and is typified by the sides of the trail you see on the way up the second and third hills of Magic Line.

Finally, the relatively porous ground around here is a mixed blessing: some trails drain well while other areas have nearly year-round springs which saturate certain areas through which old roads and trails cross.

Given the realities in/on the ground, the next most critical element in sustainable design is the angles used for the trail path. The steeper a trail, the faster water can flow down it. The longer water can

stay on a trail, the faster it will travel.

The faster water moves, the more material from the trail surface it can transport. We see this every spring on a large scale with the muddying of Mark Creek and the crashing of boulders and cobbles under the massive forces involved. Steeper trails also mean that walkers and riders are exerting more force on the trail and are more likely to cause erosion.

Without going into a lot more detail, a ball park figure being used in local design is a goal of an average of an 8 per cent grade. That is, for every 100 meters of trail built, the trail should only climb an average of 8 meters vertical. More often, the opposite math is used: if a trail is to go to the top of a 50 meters high rise above your current location, a minimum of 625 meters of trail should be built.

Short sections can be steeper. In especially sandy locations, even lower grades are being used. This simple math quickly demonstrates how unsustainable (to natural forces alone) many older trails are. For those that insist on having steeper trail segments, the only feasible sustainable means is using a technique called rock armouring/paving and this is exceptionally labour intensive and requires rock to be brought in to most locations. The fine grained rock mentioned earlier also tends to be very slick when wet.

Not letting water ‘attack’ a trail is the reason you see new ones being lower angled and having grade reversals; that is, occasional changes in the grade from up to down. These little breaks in climb angle allow water to spill off the trail rather than having long runs to possibly build up speed on. Equally critical is the “bench cut” design. The trail, when viewed along its length, should look like a relaxed bench seat. The back of the seat (on the up slope side of the trail) needs to be angled back to prevent the bank caving in on the trail.

The trail surface itself needs to be slightly angled down towards the down slope side of the hill being traversed so that water can spill off the trail rather than run down its length.

The front edge of the seat needs to be smooth, firm and not allowed to build up with material so that the drainage of the trail onto the low side can continue over time.

Contrary to a lot of popular thinking, trails should not be built on flat surfaces but instead should always traverse along the side of a slope so that the above water-shedding features can be built in. Flat trail beds encourage the pooling of water which almost always leads to a less pleasant trail experience and people walking around the edges of the trail, widening them over time. Older trail building techniques many will be familiar with, such as ditching, water bars and sharp switchbacks are all now considered inappropriate for well built, multi-user single track trails.

The one area where a trail should ideally be flat (or close to it) is at turns that would have previously been built as a sharp switchback of between 120 and 180 degrees. The extensive rock work, using over a ton of quarried slate hand carried from Elbow Road to the work site, on the lower end of

Edge Trail in the Nature Park is a prime example of creating a flatter turn on the side of an otherwise fairly steep slope. This turn is holding up very well after over three years of use.

Aesthetics of trails must be combined with the above factors. Hoodoo View Trail had a start point and an end point at the start of planning. Using elevation differences, a certain amount of trail had to be built. You try to put in nice features, such as the view point and an old, wedged tree stump from historical logging times. But in finding a balance between one large out and back, and a series of many tight turns, you try to have the trail flow in a pleasant way, with a minimum of turns, while also going through areas of relatively easier building.

Walkers could be tempted to cut straight lines between these rolling curves, but are asked to preserve the values for the long-term by staying on the trail.

It is hoped these two Bulletin pieces will help inform readers about the many variables, both social and physical, which impact our trails and our enjoyment of them. We have an awesome network of trails close to town and dedicated neighbours doing their best to maintain and improve them. Rather than pointing the finger at other user groups, or dismissing or disrespecting the work being done, we need to work together to help ensure that this amazing resource is there for our grandchildren.

Mission Impossible: Days 1-3 “Pressure is what you feel when you don’t know what the heck you’re doing.”

Peyton Manning “Oh, those things!” said a cheerfully naïve friend when I told him what I was about to tackle that afternoon. “Coupla hours should do it.” But then, unlike me, he’s one of those who believe what advertisers claim about their products.

My old friend Hector asked me if I would be willing to spare a few minutes and possibly help him put up one of those automobile tent things that are so popular these days. I’d told Hector that I’d be more than willing to help, providing we didn’t try the erection if there were a wind blowing. I have odd memories of my friend, Sonny, trying to erect a small tent in the wind on the shores of Lake Kookanusa.

Sonny’s husband, Alan, was one of those men who pretend to be real klutzes at anything practical like putting up a tent.

I always believed that Alan was a great actor; he avoided gardening, repair work about the house, or any other onerous task with his klutz routine.

Anyway, during the raising of the tent, a wind picked up the fabric of the tent and Sonny almost ended up doing a Mary Poppins over the lake. I enjoyed the scene but finally sprang to the lady’s assistance.

However, I am older now and had had no intention of fighting a giant automobile garage and appearing more ridiculous than usual.

DAY ONE. When I arrived at Hector’s place, he had already got the frame parts laid out on the grass in some sort of order.

I soon put a stop to that nonsense.

One of the many problems with these kits — as I had found out over many weary Christmas eves — is that they include hundreds Peter of bolts and nuts and they invariably of different Warland are sizes, and thus ensues an I.Q. test: which goes where?

The nuts seemed to be all of the same thread. As Hector and I mumbled and drooled, his wife came out to supervise, looked at the confusion and went into her home muttering about the cold weather.

Hector and I set to work and I quoted Walt Disney, saying, “It’s kinda fun doing the impossible, right?”

Hector has an excellent wry grin for such occasions.

We did manage that first day to get the frame together despite the debates over male and female ends of the multitudinous parts, but we must have sounded like an old wooden farm cart passing by with all of the bending stretching we forced our ancient bodies to do. The erection didn’t look as if it would survive the night.

DAY TWO. The next afternoon I was

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

surprised to see the garage still standing, all-be-it, a little like a small leaning tower of Pisa but Hector had deftly tied cross braces of bright coloured nylon rope to support things. We then set to work on the end pieces, both of which seemed to have roll-up doorways. This caused some debate because Hector and I didn’t have understandings, just interesting confusion.

Hector made the first of his two big mistakes that afternoon. He listened to me and followed my advice and we were forced to take things apart then replace them in what was the approved manner.

DAY THREE. The next and final afternoon of our ordeal was spent getting the giant cover on the structure without either of us losing his temper. Like ancient mariners, we knotted ropes to two corners of the cover, tossed the ends over the frame then shuffled lamely round the other side and hauled with all our feeble might. Eventually, as the rain started, the cover came over without a fight.

The last task was the business of tying the whole thing down and we quickly realized how lucky we had been not having had to lace our wives into corsets the way our grandfathers must have done.

Hector and I are still friends but have no ambition to go into the garage business together.

Jets QB Sanchez undergoes season-ending surgery NEW YORK - Quarterback Mark Sanchez has undergone season-ending surgery on his injured right shoulder, possibly also signalling the end of his New York Jets career.

The surgery on the torn labrum was performed

by Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday, the team announced on Twitter and its official site. Sanchez, who hasn’t played since being injured in the third preseason game, says in a statement that he was advised by Andrews and other doctors to have surgery.

Sanchez says he’s “disappointed” by not being able to play this season, but expects a full recovery.

A hefty contract, however, could make him a salary cap casualty in the off-season.

Sanchez was in a tight competition with rookie Geno Smith for the starting job this summer before being hurt against the Giants.

NFL owners narrow list of hosts for 2018 Superbowl

WASHINGTON - New Orleans and Indianapolis, the sites of the past two Super Bowls, and Minneapolis are the three finalists to host the NFL championship game in 2018.

Those three cities have been selected from a pool of six at the owners’ meetings Tuesday.

Colts owner Jim Irsay says: “It proves that Indianapolis is really a unique city, being a medium-sized market in a colder market, without 80 degrees and beaches.”

Owners say that the subject of changing the Washington Redskins’ nickname was not discussed in any formal way during Tuesday’s sessions.

Among the decisions made: There will be three games played at London’s Wembley Stadium next season. The Falcons, Jaguars and Raiders will be the “home” teams. Dates and opponents will be announced later.

Eskimos plan to let QB Mike Reilly improvise on the run EDMONTON - Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly will start against the Saskatchewan Roughriders this weekend, and will be the No. 1 signal caller for the rest of the season.

Head coach Kavis Reed says Reilly is the franchise quarterback and needs to be developed, adding that the Eskimos still have a slim chance of making the CFL playoffs.

Reed was criticized after last Saturday’s loss to the Montreal Alouettes for curtailing Reilly’s trademark scrambling ability and having him throw quickly out of concern for the quarterback’s health.

Australia’s oldest Olympian Basil Dickinson dies SYDNEY, Australia - Australia’s oldest Olympian Basil Dickinson, who competed in the triple jump at the 1936 Berlin Games, has died. He was 98.

The Australian Olympic Committee on Wednesday said Dickinson died at his home in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, on Monday.

The AOC said Dickinson was one of 33 Australians who competed at Berlin and took 41 days to reach Europe by ship. The Australians had a live kangaroo mascot called “Aussie” on board with them.

AOC president John Coates said Dickinson will be remembered “for the standards he set for the Olympians who followed over the next 70 years. He was a credit to his sport and the country in general.”

Hubic heads to defence to cover injuries TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

It’s no surprise that the Kootenay Ice announced that Tanner Faith is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury following Sunday’s tilt against the Thunderbirds.

Faith went hard into the end boards and needed some help from trainer Cory Cameron to get off the ice.

The team is also without the services of Landon Peel, who is day to day with a lower body injury. Peel missed two games over the weekend against the Hitmen and the Thunderbirds.

That leaves five defencemen going into Wednesday against the Hurricanes in Lethbridge.

However, Jeff Hubic,

a defenceman in his rookie year who eventually moved up to forward, will revert back to his old position to give the D-corps some relief.

The team will be able to field six rearguards with Hubic’s versatility against Lethbridge, however, Peel should back by the weekend, according to Ice head coach Ryan McGill.

With three games in as many nights, Sunday’s affair with the Thunderbirds was as much a mental test as it was a physical one, said McGill.

“Three games in three nights—the third night is a mental test and we’re a young team,” McGill said. “At times in the game on Sunday, I thought we did a good job and at

other times, I thought we didn’t do enough to make sure that we didn’t give up any easy opportunities.”

WIth a roster infused with youth, every game—win or lose—is a learning situation, McGill added.

“We only have one three-and-three left, which is later on this month, which is a good sign for us,” said McGill, “but at the same time, you have to learn from those things and really

hold yourself accountable, mentally, that you’re going to do all the little things correctly that are going to give you success if you don’t really have your legs underneath you.”

Levi Cable, who was held pointless over the weekend, agreed, noting that it can be challenging to get ready for multiple teams on a weekend stretch.

“It was new for the rookies and it’s physically tough and mentally, just getting prepared for all different teams,” Cable said.

The Ice have already faced the ‘Canes once this season, which ended with a shootout victory after Lethbridge was able to claw their way back into it in the third period.

Kootenay also gave

up a lead on the road in Calgary last Friday, and can’t happen in order to be successful, said McGill.

“We obviously have to learn how to protect leads,” McGill said, “especially on the road, getting a 2-0 lead on the road, it doesn’t matter where you are, you still have to do things the right way to keep that lead and we’re still learning that.”

In six games so far in the new season, the Hurricanes only have one win, and they’ll be hungry in front of a home crowd.

Following Wednesday’s game, the Ice head up to Medicine Hat to challenge the Tigers on Saturday, before hosting the Prince Albert Raiders on Sunday.

Women’s Avs wrap up preseason in Red Deer TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

The women’s Avalanche volleyball squad have finished their preseason following a tournament in Red Deer, where they went winless in five matches.

The Avs were fleshing out their roster and playing the rookies for the whole event to give everyone as much experience as possible in advance of the regular Pacwest season, which begins next week with a road trip to Vancouver Island.

“It was more getting everyone out there and experiencing the game,” said Kelsey Thompson, who plays left side.

“It’s such a different game from high school Grade 12 to college. The pace is extremely fast.”

From here on in, it’s little things the team wants to tweak as they prepare for their first matches against Camosun College and Vancouver Island University.

Thompson, a third-year athlete, said the the team is

looking forward to getting into league games.

“We’re showing so much potential already, which is really good,” Thompson said.

The Avs faced a few of the same teams they played a few weeks ago at the Rumble in the Rockies tournament hosted by the College of the Rockies, but other squads were unfamiliar.

Thompson singled out the 25-17, 23-25, 15-10 loss to Kings University College as one of the tougher matches.

“Their middles were in-

sane,” Thompson said. “They were a fast offence and they couldn’t do anything wrong, which was hard to play against.”

However, there was a silver lining to their weekend with a strong performance in their opening match against Medicine Hat, a loss at 29-27, 25-18.

“Even though we lost, it was a good game,” Thompson said.

“There were a few points that just didn’t go our way, it was unfortunate, but we seemed to click in that game.

Martinez’s disputed HR helps Tigers rally past A’s 8-6 Noah Trister Associated Press

The Canadian hockey team will show off their new threads in February during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games

Hockey jerseys unveiled for Sochi Games Stephen Whyno Canadian Press

TORONTO - More than a month after the first leak, Hockey Canada has officially unveiled its hockey jerseys for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Amid club music and laser lights, youth players skated onto the ice at the Mattamy Athletic Centre sporting the red, white and alternate black uniforms that the men’s, women’s and sledge hockey teams will wear at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The youngsters did laps around the ice and shot some pucks on net as flashbulbs went off around them. The event was another marker on the road to Sochi.

“Seeing the jersey is a key

stepping point for all three teams,” Hockey Canada president and CEO Bob Nicholson said.

Hockey Canada invited teenage players from the Toronto area to model the jerseys. They were told they’d be doing some promotional things but didn’t learn until in the locker-room just before the event that they’d be part of the unveiling.

Hockey Hall of Famer and former Canadian Olympian Joe Nieuwendyk delivered the news.

“Their mouths dropped, a little awestruck,” Nieuwendyk said.

“They didn’t realize what they were here for. When they saw the jersey for the first time, it hit them like it hits any NHL guy that’s going to don that jersey.”

For most fans, this wasn’t the

first look at the jerseys. A photo of Chicago Blackhawks forward Jonathan Toews wearing the red uniform at the NHL’s player media tour surfaced in early September, and then all three could be seen in a photo later in the month.

That means anyone critical of the look got a head start. Some said it looked like Petro-Canada’s logo, while others wanted to go back to the jerseys used when Canada won gold in Vancouver in 2010.

“People talking about how they feel about a jersey that’s close to their heart and represents their country is a great thing,” Nike creative director Ken Black said.

Canada will be the only team in Sochi with a third jersey.

DETROIT - Max Scherzer escaped a major jam in relief and the Detroit Tigers helped by two fans who reached out to try to reel in Victor Martinez’s disputed home run - rallied past the Oakland Athletics 8-6 on Tuesday to force a decisive fifth game in their AL division series.

Playing catch-up most of the way, the Tigers tied it first with Jhonny Peralta’s threerun homer in the fifth inning and then on Martinez’s solo shot in the seventh. A couple of fans attempted to catch Martinez’s drive, and at least one of them bobbled the ball as he reached over the railing above the wall - preventing right fielder Josh Reddick from having

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Dodgers earned themselves a three-day break after ousting Atlanta to win the National League division series, and they can use the time off to sort out some issues.

The team took Tuesday off to rest after closing out the Braves in four games with a dramatic 4-3 victory on Monday night. As the first club to advance from the division series, the Dodgers get the most time to reset their rotation, make bullpen decisions and heal nagging injuries to Hanley Ramirez and Andre Ethier.

They’ll be awaiting their opponent in the NL championship series, the winner of Wednesday night’s de-

cisive Game 5 between Pittsburgh and St. Louis.

Los Angeles would open at home against Pittsburgh or start at St. Louis.

The Dodgers were 4-2 against the Pirates this season and 4-3 against the Cardinals.

“All of my teammates are ready for whatever comes our way,” rookie Yasiel Puig said through a translator. “We’re very prepared for this.”

Los Angeles is four wins from its first World Series appearance since 1988, when the Dodgers won their sixth title and fifth since leaving Brooklyn after the 1957 season.

“In spring training, our goal wasn’t to get to the next round,” centre fielder Skip Schumaker said. “It was to win the World Series, so it’s a nice first step in the

right direction.”

Los Angeles will open with Zack Greinke, who will be pitching on six days’ rest following a 4-3 loss to Atlanta in Game 2. Clayton Kershaw, who started on three days’ rest Monday for the first time in his major league career, will get regular rest before starting Game 2 against the Pirates or Cardinals.

Kershaw is savoring his first playoffs appearances since 2009.

“The last three years of not getting to go really taught me to embrace this opportunity. You never know when this is going to happen again,” he said. “It’s a onemonth sprint, and I’m looking forward to the next couple games.”

Rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu would be the likely starter in Game 3, although his poor perfor-

mance against the Braves raised questions about his ability to handle playoff pressure. He allowed four runs in three innings, but the Dodgers were lucky Julio Teheran was even worse.

The three-day break gives the Dodgers ample time to sort out their bullpen, where Paco Rodriguez struggled in Game 3 against the Braves.

“It doesn’t kick Paco out of any plans,” manager Don Mattingly said. “Paco’s been through a little stretch.

Doesn’t mean we lose confidence in him.”

Los Angeles also could learn whether Ethier’s left ankle has healed sufficiently to allow him to play the field. He was limited to pinch hitting against the Braves.

any chance at a leaping grab.

Reddick and centre fielder Coco Crisp immediately protested, pointing up at the stands in the hope of a fan-interference call. But umpires upheld the home run after a replay review.

Scherzer, making his first relief appearance since the 2011 post-season, had already given up a run in the seventh.

With the Tigers ahead 5-4, he allowed a walk and a double to start the eighth, but after an intentional walk to load the bases, manager Jim Leyland left his 21-game winner on the mound.

Scherzer struck out Reddick and Stephen Vogt before getting pinch-hitter Alberto Callaspo to line out to centre.

Detroit, which had no hits through the first

four innings, added three runs in the eighth on a wild pitch and a two-run double by Omar Infante that made it 8-4.

Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run single in the ninth, bringing the potential tying run to the plate, but Joaquin Benoit struck out Seth Smith to end it.

The Tigers can now send Justin Verlander to the mound for Game 5 on Thursday night in Oakland. Verlander shut out the A’s in Oakland in the decisive fifth game of the division series last year.

Oakland hasn’t announced a starter for Game 5. It is Bartolo Colon’s turn in the rotation, but rookie Sonny Gray could also come back on normal rest after a brilliant performance in Game 2.

Koji Uehara got the final four outs - one night after giving up a game-winning homer and the Red Sox rebounded to win the best-of-five playoff 3-1.

Back in the ALCS for the first time in five years, they’ll open at home Saturday against

the Athletics or Tigers.

Oakland hosts Detroit in a decisive Game 5 on Thursday.

Both managers mixed and matched all night in a tense game that felt more like a chess match. Desperately trying to avoid elimination, Rays skipper Joe Maddon used nine pitchers.

Animal care during emergencies

A team of volunteers in the East Kootenay’s Emergency Social Services program took part in a two-day workshop October 5 and 6 on how to care for animals during large-scale emergencies such as floods, fires or chemical spills. In the exercise pictured, volunteers set up a receiving station for pets and an area to house the relocated pets, whose part was played by plushies for the exercise. Photos by Sally MacDonald

Horoscopes

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Make it a point to draw from nontraditional sources when brainstorming with others or when launching a new project.

You will be amazed by the difference it makes and by what occurs when you tap into your imagination. Tonight: Go along with someone’s offbeat plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Deal with others on an individual level, even if you are uncomfortable with the end results.

Honor a change from within, and recognize when you need to back off and allow others to have more say. You know what is workable for you. Tonight: Share news with a favorite person.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll want to move on and head in a new direction, but you could be slammed by incoming calls, questions and people showing up at your door. Handle priorities first. Relax, and don’t push so hard to follow through on what you want. Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might wonder what it’s best to do under the present circumstances. You could feel as if a key person has been deceptive or unstable because of his or her switching directions out of the blue. Keep your feelings to yourself. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be unusually energized and delighted by a suggestion that triggers your mind to come up with even more ideas. Someone you consider to be a trustworthy expert might be acting a bit flaky. Say little and observe more in the next few months. Tonight: Time for midweek fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Others often expect a lot from you, regardless of whether you are willing to give them what they want. You will step up to the plate because you know you can make a difference. Loved ones will support you in a venture. Tonight: Don’t worry so much about your finances.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

Realize what is happening between you and a relative or neighbor, as a new sense of compatibility seems to emerge.

You will laugh, go with the moment and finally seem to work well together. Tonight: Get out and about, and take an overdue break from the workweek.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Being concerned about your funds makes sense, especially since you have little control over a work situation. Be smart, and avoid taking any unnecessary risks; your instincts will guide you. Listen to them, and you will be just fine. Tonight: Fun does not need to break the bank.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A surprise from a child or new friend will encourage you to put on your thinking cap in order to make the right decisions. Trust your sixth sense, and you will know which direction to head in. Open up and share more of your feelings. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Remain sensitive to what is taking place in the moment, and

you will understand what needs to happen. In order to accomplish what you want, prioritize your to-do list. It might be best to ignore other seemingly trivial matters. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to take off ASAP. If you can, make arrangements to do that -- you need a break!

Ask a friend or loved one to join you. You are likely to find that getting away from your daily routine will restore your energy.

Tonight: Only where you want to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be pushing yourself too hard. Understand what needs to happen with a boss or someone you look up to, but know that it might be nearly impossible to change his or her mind. Take your time with a situation, rather than jump right into it. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Recently, I was introduced to an older gentleman. He has never been married, but he did have a son through artificial insemination. His son passed away, and he talks all the time about how special he was.

He has a very strong and commanding personality to the point of sometimes being a bit of a bully. It seems like he is always demanding that things be done his way or else. What bothers me most is that he has a low opinion of women. He’s often said that women should do what they are told and stay home and take care of the house and family. And worse, he’s even said how “dirty” women are in regard to their menstrual cycles, and that is why he has never talked about sex.

He does seem like a good person -- he’s very intelligent and many people like him.

He says he loves me, but he says that to everyone. I’m not sure about his intentions and wonder whether I should pursue this relationship or not. -- California Gal Dear California: Run, don’t walk, from this relationship. This man is not partner material. He may seem intelligent and nice, but he will expect you to be at his beck and call, and he will have little respect for you. And intimacy? Forget it. The most you can expect is a bossy kind of one-sided friendship, and we don’t need a crystal ball to know that he won’t make you happy. Sorry.

Dear Annie: When my neighbors take their annual two-week vacation, I water their extensive flowers every day and take in their mail. I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and all I ever received was a thank-you and a few daylily transplants.

Recently, I had a severe bout with diverticulitis and was in a lot of pain. I could hardly pick up my own mail, much less theirs. This didn’t make the wife happy. I also need surgery and asked whether she would take my terrier, and she refused. She’s taken care of other people’s dogs, so I don’t understand this.

I know she will want me to water all of her plants next year, but I don’t think I will, considering she won’t help me in my time of need. I feel used. My dog is 16 years old and healthy, but I worry he won’t survive in a kennel for five days. My handyman is willing to take care of my dog, but he wants $90 per day to come and let him out three times a day. What would you do? -- Hurt and Worried Dear Hurt: We assume your dog is as easy to care for as you claim. If so, your handyman is overcharging you. Most dog-sitters charge between $15 and $30 per day. If someone has to come multiple times, they may charge $15 per visit, but it still doesn’t add up to $90 a day. Make sure he didn’t mean $90 for all five days, which would be more than reasonable. You can find reliable pet-sitters online or get a referral from your veterinarian’s office. And if you are not able or willing to take care of your neighbors’ mail and flowers, so be it. It is a kindness, not an obligation.

Dear Annie: This is for “Leave Us Alone,” who is getting pressure from their families about having children.

My wife and I were married at 26 and had our children when we were in our 30s. We spent the first six years of our marriage establishing our careers, beginning our savings, buying our home and taking some great vacations that involved lots of camping and low-cost motels.

Reflecting back, I think those years provided a solid foundation for our now 38-year marriage by giving us the experience of working together as a team, providing mutual support to each other as we tackled the challenges of building our careers and sharing our lives. -- Still Going Strong Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

The weekend of September 20-22, 2013, saw Air Cadets from 552 Key City Cranbrook, 266 Kimberley and 279 Elk Valley Squadrons on a special field trip to three of Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aviation Museums.

The first stop was the Bomber Museum of Canada in Nanton, where they were able to take part in â&#x20AC;&#x153;A 54 Year Odyssey.â&#x20AC;? The Lancaster Bomber located there was running all four engines for the first time since the Lancaster arrived in Nanton.

Cadets participated in various sporting activities, museum tours

and they stayed overnight in the museum.

The next morning they were honoured at Celebratory Program Ceremonies by Dan Fox, Lancaster Society; the Mayor of Nanton; and the Honourable Anne C. Cools (Senator Toronto-Centre-York).

Following the ceremonies, they paraded in front of the Lancaster Bomber before marching on to the bus en route to the Aero Space Museum of Calgary.

Cadets were given permission to sit in the cockpits of several planes, including an F-86A Sabre and an Avro652 Anson MK ll.

On Sunday after staying overnight at the Mewata Armoury, the cadets went to the Military Museum of Calgary, where they explored three main areas within â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Defending a Nation: Canada and the Korean Gallery; Naval Museum of Calgary; and Air Force Museum of Alberta.

With Remembrance Day coming up, the timing was perfect for reminding the Cadets how fortunate we Canadians are for the freedoms that we enjoy, hard-won by our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.

A big thank you to DND for allowing the trip of a lifetime.

Treaty report criticizes federal and provincial commitment Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. Treaty Commission issued its 21st annual report Tuesday, with a plea for federal and provincial governments not to abandon

province-wide progress in a rush for resource development in the north.

While noting progress on several new treaties, chief commissioner Sophie Pierre said she is frustrated that the federal

warned that the rest of the province is being ignored, while First Nations have piled up debt for treaty talks that show little progress.

“There’s no need for more studies,” said

government has dragged its feet with studies, while the B.C. government has shifted focus to interim resource agreements as it pushes mining and gas development development in the north. Pierre

Pierre, who is former Chief of the St. Mary’s Band of the Ktunaxa First Nation. “Let’s just get it done.”

Asked if the independent treaty commission has outlived its useful-

ness, commissioner Dave Haggard was more blunt. Abandoning treaties means going back to court, and the Supreme Court of Canada has made it clear that Canada and B.C. must negoti-

ate settlements for aboriginal rights and title, he said.

He said he is dismayed by the rush for oil and gas development across the north.

“Go through Terrace and Prince Rupert and Smithers and see what the oil companies are doing up there today,” Haggard said. “It’s almost laughable when you see what they’re trying to do, the first one through the door so they can buy off another Indian.

“That’s not how it’s going to happen with First Nations in that part of the world. They’re going to sit down at the table and have a fair and just set of negotiations for occupying and use of the land and the resources that are there.”

Pierre said she supports resource sharing agreements for mines and forests, but they still leave communities under the control of the Indian Act. She singled out the long federal delay in deciding how salmon resources should be shared.

The Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had its treaty approved by the House of Commons this spring, joining the Tsawwassen First Nation in the Lower Mainland and the Maa-Nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island with full self-government. The Tla’amin First Nation near Powell River has had its treaty ratified provincially.

Community votes on final agreements are near for In-SHUCK-ch communities at Harrison Lake, K’omoks on Vancouver Island, and the Tsimshian communities of Kitselas and Kitsumkalum on the North Coast.

Agreements in principle are nearing completion for Ditidaht and Pacheedaht First Nations near Port Renfrew, the Homalco on Bute Inlet, and the Katzie in the Lower Mainland.

Also making progress on final agreements for land and cash are the Namgis Nation on northern Vancouver Island, Nazko First Nation near Quesnel, Northern Shuswap Tribal Council around Williams Lake, Te’Mexw Treaty Association on southern Vancouver Island and the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations near Tofino.

The full report and a webcast of Pierre’s presentation are available at www.bctreaty.net.
