The Vancouver Canucks have a new pregame pump-up video for the 2013/14 season, and it won’t just star Henrik Sedin, Jason Garrison, Roberto Luongo, or John Tortorella. The video was cut, edited, filmed, and created by Rossland’s own Juicy Studios, and it was on
display for Saturday’s home opener against the Edmonton Oilers. “For a little guy who dreamed of playing hockey in the NHL, this is as close as I’m going to get,” Juicy’s president Scotty Carlson said. “It’s gritty, it’s a dark narrative, a story people can follow from where we’ve been as a team to where we’re going.” The Canucks—the team behind the team—
have promised the video is a brand new initiative for the club, and for the NHL, a four-minute fold of storytelling that hasn’t been presented before. The video portion of the opening experience was shot by Juicy Studios on location throughout the West Kootenay and on the Lower Mainland.

Horoscope For the Week with Michael O’Connor inside the West Kootenay Advertiser
Bylaw enforcement throughout the regional district may be about to get some teeth. At the in many Your Horoscope For themoment, Week withmunicipalities Michael O’Connor insidein the Regional the District West Kootenay ofAdvertiser Kootenay Boundary (RDKB), the only recourse for enforcing fines imposed for bylaw
infractions is to go to court, an expensive and time-consuming process. Under the new system—recommended in a staff report to the RDKB—although a fine could be disputed, if upheld, it could not be ignored as failure to pay it would result in the debt being registered as a lien against the disputant’s property.
According to RDKB chief administrative officer John MacLean, the program is a lot easier to deal with. “You don’t have to access the courts; you don’t have to ask the chief justice to sign off on things,” he said. “It is just a little easier for us to administer.”
