PENAL POSSIBILITIES

No to prison, McRae says City does not endorse idea of federal prison near Kimberley, Mayor says C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

PHOTO SUBMITTED

SO LONG TO TED. Ted Murrell is moving on from his position as manager of Kimberley’s Overwaitea, heading to Nelson. The community had an opportunity to say goodbye with a pie last Friday. Under Murrell’s leadership, Overwaitea was a huge supporter of all kinds of Kimberley events. Above, students from the Independent School have some fun with Ted. Each pie thrown raised money for the Children’’s Hospital.

Since the subject of a potential federal prison near Kimberley was floated at the RDEK Board meeting a couple of weeks ago, there has been much discussion in the community on the merits of the idea.

However, Mayor Ron McRae is emphatic that a prison is not something the City is endorsing, nor does he feel it is a good fit with City objectives.

“There seems to some confusion out there with respect to where the City of Kimberley stands regarding a penal institution within or outside the City limits, especially given the idea was floated by a member of Kimberley City Council,” McRae said.

That member of Council was Don McCormick, who is from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, which has three prisons: the Prince Albert Correctional Centre, Pine Grove Correctional Centre and the Saskatchewan Federal Penitentiary.

CITY COUNCIL

RCMP delivers third quarter policing report C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Cpl. Chris Newel, Acting Operations NCO for the Kimberley RCMP Detachment, attended Council on Monday evening to deliver the third quarter policing report.

Newel will be in charge of the Kimberley Detachment until a new detachment commander arrives. The position has been filled, but the new sergeant won’t arrive until he has sold his house, which could be

several months, Newel says.

With the decision to de-integrate the Kimberley and Cranbrook detachments made last summer, Kimberley will have an actual Detachment Commander. Recently retired Sgt. Laurie Jalbert was the Operations NCO with the commander in Cranbrook. The new sergeant will be the detachment commander and Newel will remain NCO. With de-integration, there is also some

question of the future of the Kimberley Cranbrook combined drug unit. Newel told Council that the drug unit is made up of members from both detachments and has initiated nine drug investigations in the past three months.

“Although only one of these investigations was specific to Kimberley, the subjects arrested in Cranbrook have ties to Kimberley,” he said. “Subjects are generally receiving six to nine months in jail. The

judges in Cranbrook have publicly stated they will not tolerate trafficking and are giving out some fairly substantive sentences. It is a combined Cranbrook/Kimberley unit and we don’t know yet how it will be affected with the de-integration. I fully support the unit and it’s made a positive impact on the community and the safety of residents.”

Minister, MLA take the wheel at new truck simulators training students in the right region with the right skills,” Virk said.

The college bought four stationary haultruck simulators simulator earlier this year — two for the Cranbrook campus, two for the Fernie campus, and one mobile simulator. The machines were designed by Australian company Immersive Technologies.

Instructor Darren Hood told Virk and Bennett that the program made hiring and the training process much easier for mining companies, and added a degree of certainty as well.

If someone spends the time and money to go through the program,

New haul-truck simulators at COTR Barry Co ulter

B.C.’s brand new Minister of Advanced Education got a look at a brand new program the College of the Rockies on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

Amrik Virk, the Liberal MLA Surrey-Tynehead got a hands-on demonstration of a haul-truck simulator during a visit to COTR in the company of Kootenay East MLA and energy and mines minister Bill Bennett. Bennett also took a turn behind the wheel of the simulator, which trains students in the handling of the massive trucks in use at mines in the Elk Valley and elsewhere.

The college began the four-week program in August with the first intake of students. The third session is under-

Hood said, they are more likely to be in it for the long term. Companies are tired of spending three weeks training personnel and having them quit soon after, he added.

“With over 4,000 employees working at the five coal mines here and many of them approaching retirement, the opportunities for my constituents to find well-paying work with Teck Coal are excellent,” Bennett said. “The only hitch is that you need skills. This truck simulator is a terrific way to provide skills for a job that is in demand at the mines.”

Mayor says no to prison From Page 1 “It should be made abundantly clear that the City of Kimberley is neither condoning nor involved in the discussions concerning a federal maximum security penal institution or any other type of federal penal institution,” McRae said. “As recently reported, the discussions with the RDEK about developing a penal institution have nothing to do with your Municipality, its staff and team, or official Mayor and Council business. The current administration does not recognize it as an initiative, let alone a recommendation or consideration.”

The Mayor says the City is intent on developing opportunities that are a good fit for the community and its future.

“The City continues to increase economic diversity, development, sustainability and employment. We are not a community that will desperately capitulate to any type of business development or consideration. Our children and working people deserve businesses that provide for our community’s sustainability and future, and that fit with our values, culture and lifestyle.

The results of last year’s community engagement do not indicate that a penal institution would be a good a fit for the community and future objectives. Your City has invested heavily in developing the Kimberley story to better position us for present and future opportunities. What we need now is a coming together around

Mayor Ron McRae

the new communication tools and strategies recently developed as key parts of the City’s plans to attract and diversify our economic landscape, not a pulling apart around such a potentially divisive issue as a maximum security penal institution.

The community and Municipality are committed to attracting new businesses,

more residents and more visitors. A penal institution is not a part of the City’s strategic considerations.

“In the meantime there’s plenty to be excited about in Kimberley. There are new businesses, new attitudes, and new energy within the community. We’re one of the Kootenay’s fastest growing communities.

People are moving and living here intentionally, attracted to Kimberley because of its inherent nature, culture and qualities; not because of its potential for a penal institution.

“As we continue to increase our presence in target markets along with targeted messaging, we’re extremely positive about future opportunities.

“As Kimberley residents already know, we are an extremely attractive destination, and a great place to live. There are many businesses and industries that are non-geographic or location dependent.

For businesses looking to ensure that its employees and partners have a secure, enviable lifestyle, Kimberley is a good place to be and we’re looking to increasingly demonstrate that. Now is not the time to be expending energy and capacity on discussions of possible penal institutions. Now is the time to be sharing Kimberley’s existing culture and opportunities with businesses and industries that are a good fit for our community’s future.”

Good time to be a job seeker Only three per cent of the Kootenay population was jobless in September: BC Stats Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

There are fewer jobless people in the Kootenays than anywhere else in the province.

According to a BC Stats report released on October 11, the unemployment rate in the Kootenay region in September was just three per cent. That is significantly lower than the provincial average for the month, at 6.7 per cent.

“Unemployment

rates are like polls; they are a snapshot in time and shouldn’t be used to base broad assumptions on. Having said that, a rate of three per cent is probably a record for the Kootenays. I cannot recall such a low rate at any time in my 12 and a half years as an MLA,” said Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, who is also B.C.’s Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas. The Kootenays’ unemployment rate has been dropping consistently all year, peaking at 7.8 per cent in January.

Last month was the lowest it has reached in at least two years.

Based on figures from January to September 2013, the Kootenay unemployment rate is 4.9 per cent. During the same period in 2012, the rate was 7.3 per cent.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING REMINDER As a reminder to previously mailed notices, The Annual General Meeting of the BC LIBERALS KOOTENAY EAST RIDING ASSOCIATION will be held on TIME:

Thursday October 24, 2013 REGISTRATION 6:30PM MEETING BEGINS AT 7:00PM

LOCATION: THE HERITAGE INN 803 Cranbrook Street North, Cranbrook, B.C. RSVP:

ekbcliberals@shaw.ca or phone 250-432-5970 by October 21, 2013

The lowest annual rate in the past 10 years was in 2008, when 4.9 per cent of the population were jobless.

Last month, 796,000 people were employed in the Kootenays, leaving just three per cent of the region’s population without jobs.

Elsewhere in the province, the northeast region had a rate of 4.9 per cent and Victoria had a rate of 5.3 per cent. On the higher end of the scale, Vancouver, the mainland/ southwest region and Abbotsford/Mission all had an unemployment rate of 7.1 per cent.

MLA Bennett said the coal industry, forestry and tourism are keeping unemployment low in the region.

“The coal mines are the biggest employer and even with lower coal prices, they are still having to replace retiring workers. Their workforce has grown by a thousand workers in the past five years.

“Canfor is also very busy. There are fewer jobs in forestry than there used to be, but forestry has stabilized in our region, so many people are working in that industry.

“Tourism is coming back, not up to the same standards as 2007-08 before the U.S. economic crash, but getting stronger,” Bennett said, adding that Kootenays residents also commute to work in northern B.C. and Alberta oil sands.

“When you look at all these opportunities, you can see why the rate is

as low as it is.”

Local employers are now struggling with the opposite problem: there are too few skilled workers to fill positions, Bennett explained.

“The skills shortage is upon us – it is not “coming”, it is actually happening right now. I see it every day in my job as Minister as I travel the province. This is due in part to how many baby boomers are retiring and making space for people to move into good jobs.”

Across B.C., unemployment is higher for men (6.3 per cent) than women (6.2 per cent).

Men aged 45 to 64 are in the best position (4.5 per cent), compared to men aged 25 to 44 (6.1 per cent) and 15-24 (12.8 per cent).

Similarly, women aged 45 to 64 in B.C. have a low rate (5.6 per cent), with women aged 25 to 44 at 5.8 per cent and women aged 15 to 24 at 9.9 per cent.

Most people are employed on a full-time basis, with 21 per cent of people with jobs working part-time. But it varies greatly for men and women: 13.4 per cent of men work part-time, versus 29.3 per cent of women.

In Canada, B.C.’s unemployment rate is among the lowest at 6.7 per cent. The western provinces are in the best position: Alberta and Saskatchewan have the lowest rates at 4.3 per cent, followed by Manitoba at 5.5 per cent. The highest unemployment rates are in the Maritimes, with Prince Edward Island at 11 per cent, and New Brunswick at 10.7 per cent.

Minister checks out truck simulators at COTR From Page 3 A 2012 report by the Mining Industry Human Resources Council, in conjunction with the Mining Association of BC, showed that heavyequipment operators and truck drivers will be the top two mining sector in-demand occupations in the next 10 years. The forecast shows that of 11,330 workers needed in the B.C. mining industry, 6,370 will be needed in the Kootenays.

Virk also took a moment to praise the College of the Rockies for its rep-

utation, being “consistently rated one, two and three in a whole host of categories.

“It’s an example of the quality of education not just here in Cranbrook but in British Columbia,” Virk said.

Funding to help purchase the simulators came to more than $2.8 million. Funding sources included $580,000 from the Province, $560,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust, and more than $1.7 million through Western Economic Diversification.

Third quarter police report From Page 1 One of the targets during the third quarter was distracted drivers.

Newel says that interestingly, more drivers were encountered not wearing seatbelts than using cell phones while driving.

Police continue to keep an eye on raves.

There were only two in the last quarter that police were aware of, though Newel says

there were likely more.

Police work with the Ministry of Forests on these events as they are a land use issue. While rave sites are generally cleaned up, garbage is often left in a big pile. A recent rave in the St. Mary’s area left a stage made out of pallets which Forestry dismantled.

Calls for service were up considerably in the third quarter to 637,

which is 35 per cent higher than the second quarter and nine per cent higher than the same quarter in 2012.

Newel says that while the summer is often the time of a higher call volume, it is up from the previous year as well.

Abandoned 911 calls continue to be an issue, as police have to follow up on them to ascertain that no one is in trouble.

Thefts also rose in the third quarter, jumping from 33 in the last quarter and 30 in the same time last year, to 53.

“This caused us concern and we increased our patrols in the problem areas and made people more aware of the issue through the media,” Newel said.

Interior Health introduces Healthy From The Start – telephone access to a local public health nurse for pregnant women Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

Pregnant women across B.C. now have access to a free telephone program that connects them with a public health nurse in their community.

Healthy From The Start, formerly called the Prenatal Registry, launched in six pilot

communities, including Cranbrook and Kimberley, last year.

“During our first year, over 500 women from the pilot communities used our service to connect with a public health nurse, learn about healthy pregnancies, and find out about services in their communities,” said Nadine Johnson, Practice Lead with Interior Health.

“We are thrilled to now offer this service to women in all Interior Health communities.”

Pregnant women are invited to call Healthy From The Start as early in the pregnancy as possible. A public health nurse will take the expectant mother through a health screening questionnaire, answer ques-

advantage of this service and to call early in their pregnancies,” said Johnson. “Receiving early prenatal care and connecting with supports and services has a tremendous impact on

Dance workshops this weekend East Indian dance teacher holds workshops in Cranbrook and Kimberley Sally MacDonald Townsman Staff

An accomplished teacher of East Indian dance will lead two workshops in Cranbrook and Kimberley this weekend.

Fresh from a stint at the Banff Centre last week, Amrita Choudhury will conduct a workshop called “Yoga of Dance” in Kimberley on Friday, and one called “Gypsy Bollywood” in Cranbrook on Saturday.

“She is a very high calibre artist and teacher of East Indian dance (classical and folkloric),” said Shannon Duncan, who is organizing the workshops.

“She comes from a family of a long lineage of dancers and yogis in India and has adapted her classes to the North American audience through the many years she’s lived in Canada.”

Now based in Montreal, Amrita began learning dance from her mother at age 4. She studied at Santiniketan, a world renowned institution founded by Nobel Prize winning poet Rabindranath Tagore.

She is trained in Indian classical and sacred dance styles such as Odissi and Bharatanatyam, and, with a degree in anthropology, has conducted research into the ancient temple dancers of Orissa.

Amrita has been performing since she was six years old, and teaching since she was 16. Over the past 28 tears, she has per-

both the mother’s health and the health of the baby.”

Healthy From The Start can be reached through the toll-free line at 1-855-868-7710 or online by submitting the

Amrita Choudhury

formed and taught all over the world, in Europe, Central America, Asia and North America.

Her repertoire includes Indian classical and sacred dance, folklorique/tribal/gypsy/bollywood dance, patriotic/revolutionary dance, and contemporary dance.

Amrita also gives talks, demonstrations and performances and works in the field of dance and education for government and educational institutions.

She believes that movement, dance and yoga is the source of life, an expression of life and simply a way of life; where union with oneself and the world surrounding us is achieved through the universal language of movement and dance.

In the “Yoga of Dance” workshop, participants will experience the joyful union of the body, mind and spirit through Nritya Yoga postures, meditation in motion, trance dance, mudras (hand gestures) and sacred mantra

chanting. Nritya Yoga was created

by Amrita herself.

“Gypsy Bollywood” will take participants through the rhythms of Gypsy dances from India with rhythmic footwork, eye, torso and hip movements, mudras and dance step combinations.

No experience is necessary to take the workshop, Shannon explained.

“These workshops are open to everyone and very therapeutic at the same time as being a lot of fun. Amrita has a true gift in teaching many levels at once as what she does has so many levels to it.

“She is also a trained dance therapist, which comes through in the healing nature of her classes.”

Shannon said she hopes the workshops will create a stronger sense of community.

“I’m hoping these workshops will bring together a wide range of ages and personalities and be a truly community experience.

Dance can be an extremely powerful community builder and healing when practiced with this energy.”

“Yoga of Dance” will be held at Mountain Pose Yoga Studio in Kimberley on Friday, October 18 from 7 to 9 p.m, with prices on a sliding scale from $35 to $40.

“Gypsy Bollywood” will be held at Exhale Yoga Studio in Cranbrook on Saturday, October 19 from 1 to 5 p.m., with prices on a sliding scale from $65 to $75.

“Trades will be considered from those who feel the price is inhibitive,” said Shannon.

EDITORIAL

Great Shakeout Quake readiness At the moment you are reading this, chances are we at the Townsman will be hunkered under desks and standing under doorjambs, joining 3,500 other East Kootenay residents in the Great Canadian Shake-Out. We’re going to drop, cover and hold on, as a theoretical earthquake hits.

Students and staff at schools in the East Kootenay, and indeed across B.C., Canada and the world will be taking part.

Now, granted, the possibility of the Big One blasting us and our civilization in the Rocky Mountain Trench to smithereens should not keep us awake at night. The largest earthquake recorded in the southern Canadian Rockies was a magnitude 6.0 in 1918 that struck the Valemount area. In 1986 a magnitude 5.5 earthquake occurred near Prince George, causing some minor damage.

Even so, knowing what to do in the event of an earthquake is a handy life skill to have in this world of mobility. Who knows when we may find ourselves in Japan, Los Angeles, or even Vancouver. Some places are so prone to quakes that it’s commonly accepted that one will bring them to an apocalyptic end. If we in Cranbrook, for example, were to suddenly have to use our earthquake survival skills for real, there’s a chance it would be because of the effects of a massive quake

— say Magnitude 9 or more on the Richter scale (or VIII on the Mercalli Intensity Scale)* — would be causing total destruction in the Lower Mainland.

Which is possible. It has been determined that the last major earthquake — magnitude-8 or 9 — that shook the south coast of British Columbia took place on Jan. 26, 1700.

This would have been an “megathrust event” like the one in 2004 that caused the tsunami in Indonesia, or 2011 in Japan. A megathrust earthquake occurs when a piece of the earth’s crust is forced un-

derneath another plate.

While megathrust events are rare enough, by our own little human view of geological time, the Geological Survey of Canada records more than 1,000 earthquakes in western Canada each year. More than 100 magnitude 5 or greater earthquakes have been recorded in the ocean west of Vancouver Island in the past 70 years.

A study published earlier this year said the region that stretches from the northern tip of Vancouver Island down the coast to northern California has experienced 22 major

earthquakes over the last 11,000 years, and is due for another, anytime between now and the next 700 years.

So are the odds good (meaning, from our perspective, longshot odds) or bad (short odds)? Either way, it’s good to be prepared.

With files from the Canadian Press * The Richter and MMS scales measure the energy released by an earthquake; another scale, the Mercalli intensity scale, classifies earthquakes by their effects.

Munro award a victory for us all It is understood — outside of Canada, at least — that Canadian literature punches above its weight, as they say.

Considering our population size, our spread-out geographical vastness, our rural urban divide, our eclectic cultural history, Canadian writers make an impression on the world, and not just where English is the dominant language.

And none of them is more renowned than Alice Munro — short story writer and now Nobel Laureate.

Munro’s being awarded the

Nobel Prize for Literature last week shouldn’t be too surprising, given the acclaim she has received her whole career long.

But it is nonetheless a great moment for Canadian literature, for Canadian writers old and new, and even for Canadian bookstores (she started the still extant Munro’s Books in Victoria with her then husband Jim Munro).

In the wake of her award we should take a moment to celebrate all things bookish.

And the fact that Munro is almost exclusively a short story

writer is significant. The form is not your most commercially viable these days, to say the least, yet it is arguably the most creatively accessible — teachers start assigning short story writing in Grade School. How appropriate that a Canadian should be honoured for such a career in writing them.

So in honour and recognition of Alice Munro, let us put pen to paper and start outputting works of literature, just long enough to be read at one sitting. After all, we’re Canadians.

Columbia River Treaty draft What’s Up? recommendations released KIMBERLEY AND CRANBROOK COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Ba rry Coulter

The B.C. Government this week announced the release of a list of principles that will guide it in coming talks with the United States on the future of the Columbia River Treaty.

And residents of the Columbia Basin are invited to contribute their input at a series of upcoming community workshops.

On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review, announced the release of the province’s draft recommendation aimed at seeking improvements within the existing framework of the treaty.

The draft recommendation includes principles that cover consideration of flood control, hydropower generation, ecosystems, climate change and benefits to B.C. “We believe there are improvements that can be made within the existing framework of the Columbia River Treaty and we’re working with various stakeholders, First Nations and the public to identify them,” Bennett said. “The treaty consultations helped form our draft recommendation, and further feedback will ensure everyone will have their say in the future of the treaty.”

The Columbia River Treaty is a 1964 agreement between Canada and the United States on the development and operation of dams in the upper Columbia River basin for power and flood control benefits in both countries.

Four dams were constructed under this treaty: three in Canada (Duncan Dam, Mica Dam, Keenleyside Dam) and one in the United States (Libby

The Libby Dam in Montana was constructed under the Columbia River Treaty and created the Koocanusa Reservoir: 67 kms of the reservoir extend into BC. Dam).

The treaty provided for the sharing with Canada of onehalf of the downstream U.S. power and flood benefits, and allows the operation of Treaty storage for other benefits.

The treaty has no end date, but it includes an option for either country to terminate most treaty provisions anytime after 60 years (September 16, 2024), given at least 10 years advance notice. The Canadian and US governments are reviewing the treaty before the 2014 opportunity for notice for earliest termination. Options generally fall into three categories: • Continue the Treaty with the automatic change to called upon flood control; • Terminate the treaty (with continued called upon flood control); or • Negotiate changes to the treaty that modify the flood

control and power obligations and/or create new provisions for other benefits, especially environmental objectives.

The province’s Columbia River Treaty Review team and the CRT Local Governments’ Committee — whose appointed representatives work on behalf of local governments in the area — are seeking further input from the public.

In the Cranbrook area, the nearest meeting is at Jaffray, Monday, Nov. 4 at the Jaffray Hall on Jaffray Village Loop Road. From 6:30 – 8 p.m. is the provincial workshop, to discuss the province’s draft recommendations. From 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. is the local governments’ workshop, when one can review draft recommendations developed by your local governments on the future of the CRT. “We have heard from area residents about their concerns

and issues regarding the CRT and we have sought advice from experts and others to find the best solutions,” said Director Mike Sosnowski, Regional District of East Kootenay.

“Now we want to share this information with Basin residents and hear their views so we can refine our draft recommendations.”

Other workshops will be held in Golden (Tuesday, Nov. 5), Nakusp (Wednesday, Nov. 6), Castlegar (Thursday, Nov. 7) and Valemount (Thursday, Nov. 14).

The draft recommendation document is available for public review and comment until Nov. 20, 2013, after which the Columbia River Treaty Review Team will prepare its final recommendation to Cabinet.

More than just jack-o-lanterns

O

ctober is the month for pumpkins! Pumpkins grow well in our area, and are in abundance at this time of year. When most people think of pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and pies are usually what come to mind but these nutritious, versatile and hardy gourds can be so much more.

Did you know the world’s largest pumpkin weighed in at over 1,600 pounds? Even more surprising is that in some communities people hollow out pumpkins, make them into boats and have annual pumpkin boat races. If you don’t believe me … look it up on the internet.

Like other types of squash,

Simone Jennings pumpkins are full of nutrients.

Their deep orange-coloured flesh is packed with beta-carotene. This is an antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease and cancer. Pumpkins are also

a good source of vitamin C, potassium and fibre.

Pumpkin pie is a popular treat but pumpkin can be used for so much more. Try it in cookies, pancakes, loaves, muffins, soups and more. When choosing a pumpkin for cooking, look for one that is smaller and heavy for its size.

When carving your Halloween jack-o-lantern be sure to save the seeds for roasting.

Baked pumpkin seeds are a healthy snack and they are easy to make. Just rinse the pumpkin seeds to remove pulp then lay the seeds on a piece of paper towel to dry. Next, put the seeds in a bowl with a bit of vegetable oil and your favour-

ite flavouring (Mrs. Dash, seasoning salt, or cinnamon and brown sugar). Finally, spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350° F, stirring occasionally until light brown and crisp (about 15-25 minutes).

SPORTS BRIEFS Lapierre offered in-person hearing for hit that knocked out Sharks D Dan Boyle SAN JOSE, Calif. - St. Louis Blues forward Maxim Lapierre has been offered an in-person hearing for his hit that knocked out San Jose defenceman Dan Boyle.

The NHL Department of Player Safety announced Wednesday that Lapierre is suspended pending his hearing. Players have an opportunity for an in-person hearing for any suspension that could exceed five games.

Lapierre was given a game misconduct for hitting Boyle from behind in the first period of San Jose’s 6-2 win Wednesday night. Boyle was knocked out on the play and taken off the ice on a stretcher before spending the night at the hospital.

The Sharks say Boyle will return to San Jose later Wednesday for treatment and further evaluation.

He will miss at least Thursday’s game in Dallas.

Chiefs on pass to trump ‘84 Bears for most sacks in single season

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Justin Houston, Tamba Hali and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs defence doesn’t seem to worry about their place in history.

Wins are more important to them.

If they stopped to take stock through the first six weeks, they might be surprised.

After piling up 10 sacks in a win over the Raiders last Sunday, the Chiefs now have 31 this season.

That puts them on pace to not only shatter the franchise record of 60 set during the 1990 season, but the NFL record of 72 set by the ‘84 Bears.

The sack became an official stat in 1982.

Houston leads the Chiefs with 9 1/2 sacks, tied with the Colts’ Robert Mathis for the most in the NFL. Hali is fourth with 7 1/2 on the year.

Blue Bombers keep playoff hopes alive, end risk of setting record for bad season WINNIPEG - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have at least dodged one bullet this woeful season.

By keeping their playoff hopes alive in Montreal on Monday, they have enough wins to escape setting a new record for futility in the 18-game CFL. They are now tied with the old one of 3-15 set under Jeff Reinebold.

They face the Toronto Argonauts in Winnipeg Saturday and next Thursday in Toronto, and must win both if their slim playoff hopes are to survive.

Slotback Aaron Kelly is on the injured list for Saturday and cornerback Jovon Johnson is doubtful.

Kelly’s absence means Mike Sims-Walker will make his first start at receiver for the Bombers.

CHARITY BOXING CHALLENGE

Boxers in training ahead of fight night TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Fight night is two weeks away and local business men and women turned pugilistic athletes are busy training away with the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club for the Charity Boxing Challenge.

Set to kick off on Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Eagles Hall, the Charity Boxing Challenge, boxers will step in to the ring in an event to raise money for deserving individuals and families in the community.

Headlining the event is a match between Steve Mercandelli, of Cranbrook Dodge, and Kenny Bridge, of Bridge Interiors.

However, there are other bouts that will be featured during the fundraiser.

Troy Adams will be facing Ralph Martini, Randy ‘Moose’ Rothwell will be going up against Josh Kapitaniuk and Jack Chisholm will be taking

on Chase Thielen.

Pamela Ryan and Brandi Archibald are the lone female boxers who will be stepping into the ring.

For Archibald, it will be a new experience, as she has only trained with the club, but never actually been in the ring before.

“Tom volunteered me,” laughed Archibald, “and it was just a fun way to learn to box, get into shape and have a good time.”

Both Archibald and Ryan are newbies to boxing, however Ryan’s daughter, Shannon, is a member of the club and trains with coaches Tom White and Bill Watson.

It’s been a lot of quick learning for Archibald.

“Just the physical training and getting us into the ring a lot, just so we learn quickly, what’s a jab, what’s a hook, foot movement, head movement, how to duck—everything,” she said.

“He’s [White] starting

Tom White created the Charity Boxing Challenge with the intent of raising money to go towards deserving individuals and families who are experiencing financial hardship. But he needs help figuring out where the funds raised should go. Anyone can anonymously nominate an individual or family by sending an email to White. Also, any businesses wishing to donate items to the live action can contact White as well. White can be reached via email at: tom@freightlinercbk.com Items up for live auction include: Queen Bed Set – Bridge Interiors Cranbrook **Watch – Jewels on Ninth Cranbrook Dinner for two – Frank’s Steak & Schnitzel Haus Cranbrook Nascar Driver, Autographed Hats & Shirts – Freightliner of Cranbrook One year pass for boxing – Barry Shingar Trucking Cranbrook One year pass for boxing – All in the Family Lawn Care Cranbrook Three Hot Yoga Classes – One Love Hot Yoga Kimberley (new location opening in Cranbrook) 4 hr skid steer rental -Ray Kelly TomCat contracting **Everyone who attends the Charity Boxing Challenge will also be automatically entered to win a $500 gift certificate for Jewels on Ninth. from scratch with absolutely nothing.”

Archibald says she is enjoying a chance to learn something new.

“I have a lot more respect for the sport than what I did before,” Archibald said. “There’s a lot more technique than I realized. I’m really looking forward to being in the ring, I don’t usual-

ly like being the centre of attention, but that just comes with it, so it’ll be fun.”

Along with the bouts during the night of the boxing event, there will be live auctions, with items donated from various businesses in the community.

The Charity Boxing Challenge is the brain-

child of White, who is coach with the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club. The club is a non-profit society with no paid staff, as White and Watson, along with others, are volunteer coaches.

Tickets are available at Cranbrook Dodge, Bridge Interiors and at Freightliner Cranbrook.

Basketball players in top development program TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Two local basketball players are getting some intense training through a prestigious development program in Vancouver, following successful tryouts earlier in September.

Bobbi-Jo Colburn and Charity Marlatt are currently participating in a two-month program through the Centre of Performance with Canada Basketball, based in the Lower Mainland.

Colburn, who recently competed for Team B.C. in the National Championships in the U15 age division, had exposure at the provincial level because of that experience.

However, Marlatt, got in as a walk-on after receiving an invite.

Both had to compete in a tryout to book their spot in the program, which runs from the end of September to December.

The two join 28

other athletes in the program, which had eight spots reserved for U17 provincial team members, and are training with Allison McNeal, the national and international women’s coach of the year.

“There were quite a few girls there and it was a tough tryout,” said Colburn. “They really worked us hard and then we got an email that we made it.”

The two have been heading down to Van-

couver every weekend since the tryout to attend eight sessions, where they work on their skills for two days before coming back home to the East Kootenay.

“We do three hours of basketball and one hour of in-the-classroom learning—just how to work your life around being busy,” said Colburn. “…It’s a big commitment.”

Colburn hopes to

play at the provincial level again next summer, and wants to use her training at the CP program to maker her mark at the higher levels.

Colburn is the daughter of Greg Colburn, who coaches with Mount Baker Secondary School and the local 3G Basketball club team.

Both Marlatt and Colburn are members of the 3G Basketball club team, which trav-

els to tournaments across B.C., Alberta and into the U.S. to compete against high-level teams.

While Bobbi-Jo is soaking up the knowledge through the development program, so is her dad, which he can use with the 3G club team. The 3G club will head to a tournament at the end of October, however, the season won’t get going in earnest until the middle of December.

Roy on pace to set NHL coaching record PAT GR AHAM Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Patrick Roy has been way more composed than combustible on the bench through the Colorado Avalanche’s sizzling start to the season.

Then again, there hasn’t been much that has gone wrong for the goalie-turned-coach who is well-known for his fiery personality.

Sure, there was that meltdown in his first game in charge when he nearly crashed through

a glass partition during an argument with Anaheim’s Bruce Boudreau following a 6-1 win.

Other than that, he’s been fairly mild mannered.

Roy’s players certainly don’t view him as volatile so much as an invigorating presence that’s ignited a much-needed spark.

Behind Roy, the team is 6-0 and can match the best start in franchise history with a win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night.

“There’s never panic with him,” forward Matt Duchene ex-

plained. “We could be playing awful, be down a bunch of goals and he doesn’t really panic that much. It’s nice to have a guy like that behind you.”

With a win Thursday, the Hall of Fame goalie would break the mark for most NHL wins to start a coaching career. Roy shares the record with Mario Tremblay, who won his first six games with Montreal in 199596, a team Roy played for before being dealt to the Avalanche later that season after a falling out with Tremblay.

Sakic, Howard among Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame 2013 class Gregory Strong Canadian Press

TORONTO - Russ Howard was asleep in his Riga hotel room when the phone rang with word that he would be inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame.

The Olympic champion curler immediately went online to look at the Hall’s long list of honoured members. That’s when the enormity of the honour sunk in.

“I get the chance to golf with (hockey legend) Bobby Orr once in a year in a charity event and he’s my hero,” Howard said Wednesday at a morning news conference. “To think that a little guy from Midland, Ontario is in with Bobby Orr is pretty cool.”

Howard is a two-time world champion who now does curling broadcasting work. He was in the Latvian capital last March to cover the world women’s championship.

“Nobody knew I was in Latvia so that’s why I got the call at four in the morning,” he said. “I thought I was dreaming obviously - and I still am.”

Joining Howard in this year’s class are former NHL star Joe Sakic, cyclist Alison Sydor, fivetime Paralympian Andre Viger and the 1992 Olympic champion women’s coxless four rowing team of Kirsten

Barnes, Brenda Taylor, Jessica Monroe-Gonin, Kay Worthington and Jennifer Walinga.

Former Canadian Amateur Hockey Association president Murray Costello and sport development architect Dr. Jean-Guy Ouellet enter

“Any time you put the Canadian jersey on, you just felt something more and something special.

The game just seemed to mean a little bit more. ” Joe Sakic as builders. Inductees will be presented with their member jackets at an evening ceremony.

Howard won national and world titles in 1987 and 1993. He said the first Brier victory with his brother Glenn was one of the most special victories from his long career, especially since they came up just short in the 1986 final.

His most memorable win came at the Turin Games in 2006 when he earned Olympic gold with skip Brad Gushue of Newfoundland and Labrador.

“There was so much different pressure at that,

with 70 million people watching our final game,” Howard said. “You’re representing your country. At my age it was my last and only chance to win an Olympic medal for my country. So that pressure was a lot different than at the Canadian championships.”

Sakic, who had 1,641 career regular-season points over 20 seasons in the NHL, won the Stanley Cup with Colorado in 1996 and 2001. He currently serves as the team’s executive vice-president of hockey operations.

“It’s a tremendous honour,” Sakic said.

“When I got the call it was very, very exciting.

“Obviously you start to reflect and you think back, and I just remember as a kid you’re watching your Canadian Olympians and obviously cheering them on and you want to see them do well. And then to get a taste of it yourself, have a whole new appreciation for what all the athletes in different sports had to do to prepare and get ready for these things.”

Sakic won titles at the Winter Olympics, world hockey championship, World Cup of Hockey and the world junior championship. He first broke into the NHL with the Quebec Nordiques in 1988.

“To play for your

The game just seemed to mean a little bit more.

We never took that for granted.”

Sydor won Olympic silver at the 1996 Atlanta Games and picked up her third straight world title that year. The threetime Pan Am Games medallist had 17 career

World Cup mountain bike victories.

Viger, who died in 2006, was one of the best wheelchair racers of alltime. He won 10 medals over five appearances at the Paralympic Games and held world records at several distances.

The coxless four team that won Olympic gold in Barcelona is considered one of Canada’s best-ever rowing crews. Walinga was forced to withdraw with a back injury shortly before the competition but Worthington stepped in and helped the crew win a gold medal.

MLB Playoffs: Dodgers, Tigers earn wins Associated Press

L.A. 6 St. Louis 4 LOS ANGELES - It took the Dodgers five games to hit a home run in the NL championship series. Once Adrian Gonzalez powered up for the first one, their dormant offence broke loose.

Gonzalez homered twice and Zack Greinke came through with the clutch performance Los Angeles needed in a 6-4 victory over the Cardinals on Wednesday that trimmed St. Louis’ lead to 3-2 in the best-ofseven playoff.

“Guys weren’t ready to lose today,” said Carl Crawford, who also went deep to help the Dodgers save their season.

The series shifts back to St. Louis for Game 6 on Friday night, with ace Clayton Kershaw scheduled to start for Los Angeles against rookie Michael Wacha.

When those two squared off in Game 2, the Cardinals won 1-0 on an unearned run.

“We’ve kind of become America’s team because every-

one wants to see a seventh game,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “Probably even the fans in St. Louis would like to see a seventh game, so I figure that everybody’s for us to win on Friday night.”

The Cardinals also led last year’s NLCS 3-1 before losing three straight games to the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants.

Desperate to avoid elimination, the Dodgers brought in some Hollywood star power for pregame introductions. Will Ferrell announced their lineup and lent a comic spin to each player’s name, capping it by introducing Greinke as “today’s winning pitcher.”

Ferrell knew what he was talking about.

Greinke got into a bases-loaded jam with none out in the first inning but escaped with no damage. From there, he pitched seven strong innings and even delivered an RBI single.

A.J. Ellis also homered at Dodger Stadium, where it is tougher to clear the fences in

the heavy night air.

Helped by playing in 82-degree heat on a sunny afternoon, the Dodgers rediscovered their power stroke just in time to extend the series. They held on in the ninth inning, when St. Louis scored twice off closer Kenley Jansen before he struck out pinch-hitter Adron Chambers with two on to end it.

The Dodgers rallied in this one after Greinke gave up an early 2-0 lead just as he did in Game 1, which Los Angeles lost 3-2 in 13 innings on the road.

Detroit 7 Boston 3 DETROIT - A revitalized Austin Jackson delivered in manager Jim Leyland’s revamped lineup as the Detroit Tigers built a big lead and held on this time, beating the Boston Red Sox 7-3 Wednesday night to even the AL championship series 2-2.

Torii Hunter had a two-run double and Miguel Cabrera drove in two runs after Leyland dropped the slumping Jackson to eighth in the order and

moved almost everyone else up a place following the Tigers’ 1-0 loss in Game 3. Jackson drew a bases-loaded walk off Jake Peavy for the first run of Detroit’s five-run second inning.

Doug Fister allowed a run in six innings, and after blowing a 5-0 lead in Game 2, Detroit kept the Red Sox at bay Wednesday.

Game 5 is Thursday night in Detroit. The Tigers’ Anibal Sanchez faces Boston’s Jon Lester in a rematch of Game 1, which was won by Detroit 1-0.

Jacoby Ellsbury had four hits for the Red Sox, finishing a homer shy of the cycle.

The Tigers lost Games 2 and 3, wasting gems by Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander. Jackson was 3 for 33 with 18 strikeouts in the post-season before Wednesday, and although Leyland left him in the lineup, he changed the batting order. Jackson hit eighth, and with others moving up a spot, it made for an odd-looking order. Hunter hit leadoff for the first time since 1999 and Cabrera was second for only the third time in his career - first since 2004.

kootenay news Neighbours rescue man and Radium Hot Springs Lodge woman from Genelle fire damaged in blaze Marvin Beat t y Castlegar News

Greg Amos Invermere Valley Echo

A fire at Whispering Pines Mobile Home Park in Genelle destroyed one home on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

Two residents of the park, Jamie La Berg, 44, and Shaun Colbon, 27, said they helped evacuate two people, who they described as an older man and woman, who were inside the trailer at the time of the blaze.

“I heard a boom over here and came running,” said La Berg, who was working in his backyard at the time. “It was all on fire and they wouldn’t get out, so I went over and grabbed the guy, brought him out of the way and my brother-in-law, Shaun, moved the guy further out of the way. He was cut up pretty bad [the man].”

Colbon said they also helped to move vehicles away from the trailer.

A blackened and charred appearance may be the last impression made by the Radium Hot Springs Lodge before it fades into the history books, after a fire on the afternoon of Sunday, October 6 damaged the historic building, just weeks before it faces the wrecking ball.

More than 25 firefighters from the Radium, Windermere, Invermere and Panorama Fire Departments responded to the large fire at the vacant lodge.

The call came in to the Radium Hot Springs fire department at 3:40 p.m., and crews were on scene within 15 minutes, said fire chief Dave Dixon, who described the fire as a mostly superficial burn in the conference room.

No one was injured in the blaze, which was fought with a tanker truck at the hotel’s entrance level above the highway, and via fire hydrants from the hot springs pools.

The fire didn’t significantly affect the structure of the building, which is mainly concrete, he added.

The building was slated to have some hazardous materials removed in November before the building is set to be demolished by Parks Canada next February.

Genelle residents Jamie La Berg, 44 (left), and Shaun Colbon, 27, helped pull a man and woman to safety when their mobile home caught fire on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

“We asked them if anyone else was in there and they said no,” said Colbon, who said he also had to physically move the woman — who appeared to be in shock and unwilling to leave the home. “So, we got them out of there

and called the fire department.”

The two men, being hailed by some in the crowd as heroes, said the man who was in the trailer had some injuries to at least one arm and the woman appeared to be uninjured.

A number of small booms were heard as crews fought the fire, prompting many of the onlookers who had gathered to move back to a safer distance. Some burning debris was seen approximately 20 metres from the home.

A fire caused damage to Radium Hot Springs Lodge on Sunday, October 6.

The cause of the fire is undetermined, but human involvement is likely, as the unoccupied building had no electricity or propane running to it, confirmed Mr. Dixon.

Mattresses and carpets have remained intact since the lodge closed its doors for good in March 2011.

The 78-room lodge opened in June 1965, on the site of a lodge and bungalows originally constructed in 1925 by the Canadian Pacific Railway. The building’s architectural design was meant to compliment its surroundings.

Kootenay Pass’s 50th anniversary celebrated Brian L awrence Creston Valley Advance

About 300 people attended the 50th anniversary celebration for the Kootenay Pass, held on Sunday afternoon at the top of the Highway 3 pass between Creston and Salmo.

Organized by the Creston Museum, with the assistance of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Yellowhead Road and Bridge (YRB), the event included historical displays and a commemorative ribbon-cutting, which briefly stopped traffic.

“We find excuses to make local history fun and enjoyable,” said museum manager Tammy Hardwick.

Cars lined up for the first crossing on Oct. 13, 1963, totalled 2,700 — the creation of the all-weather route was a significant event.

“That really shows what it meant to them back then,” said Hardwick. “This was a good opportunity to showcase that.”

Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie explained that the Ktunaxa people followed

“We are also in their home,” he said. “If it was not for those animals, we would not have access to this territory.”

Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall expressed her apprecia-

THE

tion for the economic benefits, and also reflected on the wildlife.

“The most magical trip has been the time I have to stop and allow the caribou to take the time to cross the road,” she said.

The Ministry of Transportation and In-

frastructure’s Hugh Eberle explained that the construction allowed the elimination of tolls on the Kootenay

Lake ferries and Nelson’s Big Orange Bridge, also reducing travel time between the east and west.

The project, which had been in the planning stages for several years before seasonal construction ran from

1957-1963, cost $13.6 million, and it remains the country’s highest year-round mountain pass.

WHY IS THE EVENT A WEEK EARLY? This chamber initiative was first created in 2011 to encourage consumers to shop locally. Our committee recognises that consumers travel out of our area to find selection and value and they are well aware of the US Black Friday craze that has become the biggest retail day of the year in the US. By having our event a week early, we give consumers the chance to shop and spend locally. Our hope is that they find great service, selection and value right here in Cranbrook. Another reason this event is a week early is due to the JCI Kootenay Santa Claus Parade which is always the last Friday of November and the same day as the US Black Friday.

10 surprising stats about small business in Canada

mall businesses are often touted as the backbone of Canada’s economy, but how much do they actually contribute to the country’s gross domestic product? How many small businesses are there, and how many do they employ across the country?

And what exactly is a small business, anyway?

To mark the Oct. 17 start of small business week in Canada, CBC compiled some of the big numbers behind small businesses in this country.

What is the definition of a small business in Canada?

• 1 to 4 employees: Micro-enterprise • 5 to 100: Small business • 101 to 499: Mediumsized business • 500-plus: Large business

In 2005, 41 per cent of employed Canadians worked for businesses with fewer than 20 employees.

(Source: Industry Canada calculations using data from Statistics Canada)

How many Canadians are self-employed?

In 2010, 2.7 million Canadians were self-employed.

35 hours: Average work week for employees in 2010 40 hours: Average work week for the self-employed in 2010 31 per cent of self-employed Canadians reported working more than 50hours per week in 2010, while 4 per cent of employees worked past that threshold in the same year.

businesses had their own websites (compared to91 per cent of large businesses)

Smallest number of new small businesses established in one year: Approximately 90,000 in 2002.

7 per cent sold goods/ services online (compared to 22 per cent of large businesses)

Largest number of small businesses that disappeared in a single year: Approximately 100,000 in 2006 Net average of small businesses established from 2002 to 2007: 15,000 (Source: Statistics Canada)

How active are small business owners online?

In 2007, the year for which the latest statistics from the Canadian government are available, 85 per cent of small businesses had internet access. 99 per cent of large businesses had internet access.

36 per cent of small

How many small businesses are there in Canada?

The total number of registered employer businesses in Canada (businesses with at least one employee on payroll) as of December 2010, the most recent figure available: 1,138,761

1,116,423 of those were small businesses, comprising 98 per cent of all employer businesses in Canada.

What do small businesses contribute to Canada’s total exports?

86 per cent of Canadian exporters were small businesses in 2009.

Small businesses accounted for $68 billion in exports (25 per cent of Canada’s total export value).

(Source: Industry Canada calculations using data from Statistics Canada)

How much do small businesses contribute to Canada’s GDP? In 2005, small businesses accounted for 42 per cent of the country’s private sector GDP. (Source: Industry Canada)

In 2009, 28 per cent of the country’s total GDP came from businesses with fewer than 50 employees.

(Source: British Columbia Statistical Services)

Are small business owners confident about Canada’s economy?

The CFIB’s Business Barometer Index fell to 61.7 in August 2011, its lowest reading since July 2009. A score of 50 or higher means more business owners

expect a stronger performance in the next year than those who expect a weaker performance.

Provincially, Alberta’s index was the highest in the country at 75.

Prince Edward Island had the lowest index at 59.7.

The index bottomed out in late 2008/early 2009 at under 40.

(Source: Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses)

What will happen to small businesses when the owners retire?

With the baby boomers reaching retirement age, a large number of companies will likely change hands in the coming years. Accord-

ing to TD Waterhouse’s early October Business Succession Poll of 609 small business owners, just 24 per cent of small business owners surveyed said they had a succession plan worked out for retirement. Of those polled, whether they had a formal plan or not, 23 per cent said they would simply close their business when it came time to retire; 20 per cent planned to sell their business to a third party; 18 per cent expected to transfer it to a family member; 12 per cent said they’d sell to a partner or employee; and 27 per cent said they were not yet sure what they’d do with their business.

LILLOOET, B.C. — Conservation officers believe poachers may have killed a B.C. grizzly bear that was one of only a few animals in a unique sub-species of the bruin.

The grizzly, dubbed Jewel, was fitted with a radio collar and relocated last year to an area near Lillooet.

But Jewel has not been seen since October 2012 and in June of this year its radio collar was found by a survey crew near Texas Creek, about 20 kilometres south of Lillooet.

Conservation officials say the bear was one of six females from the highly threatened Stein-Nahatalatch grizzly population, which is unique because of its genetic isolation.

Scientists find half-ton chunk of meteorite in Russian lake ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW — Russian scientists have recovered a giant chunk of the Chelyabinsk meteorite from the bottom of the lake it crashed into.

The meteor that blazed across southern Urals in February was the largest recorded strike in more than a century.

More than 1,600 people were injured by the shock wave from the explosion as it hit near the city of Chelyabinsk, estimated to be as strong as 20 Hiroshima atomic bombs.

Scientists on Wednesday recovered what could be the largest part of the meteorite from Chebarkul Lake outside the city. They weighed it using a giant steelyard balance, which displayed 570 kilograms (1,256 pounds) before breaking.

Sergei Zamozdra, an associate professor at Chelyabinsk State University, told Russian television the excavated fragment was definitely a chunk of the meteorite.

Elderly Paraguayan couple marries after spending 80 years together ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — The groom is 103 years old. The bride is 99. And after 80 years together, this Paraguayan couple has finally tied the knot in the eyes of the church.

From his wheelchair, Jose Manuel Riella married Martina Lopez Saturday in the backyard of their home, some 320 kilometres north of the capital, Asuncion.

Priest Christian Paiva led the

religious ceremony and he told The Associated Press Wednesday that the couple had been married by law for 40 years but not by the church.

At 103, Riella has some hearing problems but still recognizes his family members. His wife still takes care of all home chores.

The couple has eight children, 50 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren and 20 great-great grandchildren.

Dinosaur skeleton found in Wyoming to be auctioned in Britain ASSOCIATED PRESS Joel Ryan/Invision/AP

Actress Dame Judi Dench arrives with David Mills on the red carpet for the screening of Philomena at a central London cinema, Oct. 16, 2013.

Protesting firefighters serenade Judi Dench ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Judi Dench has been serenaded by firefighters as she arrived for the London premiere of her latest film.

Dench walked the red carpet in Leicester Square Wednesday for the London Film Festival screening of “Philomena.’’

The movie tells the true story of an Irishwoman’s quest to track down the son she was forced to give up for

adoption 50 years earlier.

Members of the Fire Brigades Union, drinking at a pub after a protest march against pension cuts, spotted the 78-year-old star, chanted “We love you Judi’’ and broke into a rendition of Beatles song “Hey Jude.’’

The Stephen Frears-directed film also stars Steve Coogan as Martin Sixsmith, a journalist who helped Lee in her search and wrote a book about her story.

LONDON — A huge dinosaur skeleton found in the United States in 2009 is being auctioned in Britain.

Summers Place Auctions said the female Diplodocus longus skeleton, nicknamed “Misty,’’ measures 17 metres long and 6 metres tall. It said it was found mostly intact near a quarry in Wyoming by accident, and the skeleton was treated at a fossil laboratory in Holland before being assembled in Britain.

Author Errol Fuller, who curates the auction, said there are about six such skeletons in museums around the world, including those in Pittsburg and Washington.

In addition, $36 million in contingency funding has been allocated over three years to further support anticipated CLBC caseload increases. Government is committed to ongoing funding and support for people with developmental disabilities

AP/The Wyoming Tribune Eagle, Michael Smith

A replica of Big Al, an allosaurus that roamed Wyoming 145 million years ago, is seen on display at the University of Wyoming’s Geological Museum on June 10, 2009.

The auction house, in southern England’s West Sussex, said Wednesday the skeleton would go under

the hammer on Nov. 27.

The sellers say it is likely to sell for more than $640,000.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I’m 76 years old, and my 55th college reunion is coming up soon. I’m not sure I should attend.

At every reunion, “he” is always there. We had a beautiful senior year and were very much in love. I expected a ring for graduation, but it never happened. After graduation, we moved apart and met up during the summer, sharing fall weekends attending football games with friends. After the last game, I felt a change. He never called or wrote. Through a mutual friend, I heard that he got back together with an ex-girlfriend and married.

We had the right love, but the timing was bad. I receive a Christmas card and note from him every year. At every reunion, I want to be friendly and neutral, but I end up with my composure gone. I act like a spoiled teen, and he gets a chip on his shoulder.

Now I want to go to say thanks for all we shared. I have had a great life. I never married, but my life has been full with a wonderful career, loyal friends, loving family, travel and entertaining. My years of fantasizing about my ex-boyfriend were over long ago.

We may never see each other again, and I don’t want my life to end with this bitter feeling. So, should I drop him a note and say, “I’d love to see you and your wife at the reunion”? What do you say? -- A Very Ex College Girl Dear Ex: Since he attends every reunion, you don’t need to send him a note in advance, giving him the impression that his presence is the main reason you would be there. He may already think this. Don’t reinforce it. More importantly, are you certain you can behave in a friendly, neutral manner? Neither your track record nor your letter is convincing. If you attend, we suggest you practice what you plan to say in advance so you don’t end up ad-libbing something you regret. Socialize with others as much as possible. If that doesn’t work, you can always send him a note with your annual Christmas card, telling him what you want him to know.

Dear Annie: I own a small barbershop.

Some of my customers’ cellphone etiquette is quite frustrating. When they pick up their phone, it can interfere with my ability to cut their hair. If they continue to talk or text, it’s even more annoying. I can’t provide them with a quality haircut when I have to move around them or wait for them to finish.

When other customers witness this delay, they grow impatient and want to leave. This occurs more often than you might think.

What is an effective approach for letting my customers know that taking calls or texting is off limits once they sit in my chair?

I don’t want to alienate anyone, but I’d be blamed if they got a poor haircut. -- Concerned Cutter in N.Y. Dear Concerned: It is perfectly proper to post a sign in your shop saying that cellphone use is prohibited while in the chair.

You also can ask each customer as they sit down to turn off their cellphone. They wouldn’t want to lose an ear.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Juliana,” who was criticized by the people behind her for standing at a concert. When I pay good money for a seat, I expect to see the show from there. My wife had two knee replacements and cannot stand for long periods. At a recent concert, we asked some people to sit and were also told we should stand if we want to see.

Promoters should designate the back half of the venue as a standing area and let the rest of us enjoy the show from our seats, because common courtesy does not seem to apply in these situations. -- Behind Juliana Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

good guided tour.

The food specialty of Arequipa is Rocato Rellano, a spicy red pepper stuffed with potato.

Yummy.

Arequipa has the best alpaca wool. Buy from the factories so you know it’s 100 per cent.

Oh, the other food specialty here is alpaca steak – yes, they use the entire animal!

Arequipa is the gateway to the Colca Canyon, home of the mighty Andean condor. Along the way, you will travel to Chivay, population 800, surrounded by volcanic mountains and hot springs.

My favourite memory from Chivay was the fleece-covered hot water wine bottle that they brought me for my bed at night in the hotel.

It is cold at this elevation and there are no heaters!

The Colca Canyon is known as one of the world’s deepest canyons, at 4,160 metres. To get there, you travel through a range of ecological zones, from desert to altiplano to dry tundra. It kind of looks like a moonscape at times, except for the

snow-capped volcanoes in the distance.

Along the way, you will spot herds of alpaca and vicuna (a wild relative of the llama and alpaca, with the softest, most coveted wool and therefore the most expensive).

At the highest point in the plateau, you will be at 4,900 metres – the air is thin up there and the solar radiation

strong, so take precautions.

If you like adventure tours, the Canyon offers some spectacular treks to the bottom. A shorter trek is up to Cruz del Condor, a high peak perfect for viewing the magnificent condors (with wingspans up to two metres).

In the vicinity, you can also do some volcano biking, volcano

climbing, and whitewater rafting. It’s not for the faint of heart!

Maritime Travel’s Carla Nelson discovers an interesting region of South America ollowing my trip to the Inca Trail last spring, I did a little side trip to Arequipa and the Colca Canyon. This is an interesting area of Peru in the southern coastal region. It is located in the ‘earthquake zone’, surrounded by volcanoes, on the edge of the altiplano and starting at 2,380 metres elevation.

Arequipa is known as the White City because many of the buildings are made of sillar, a white volcanic stone.

The Plaza de Armas (main square) is surrounded by beautiful white buildings.

The Convento de Santa Catalina is a large monestario (for nuns, not monks) from the 1800s that is worth the visit – 24 nuns still live there.

Also visit the Museo Santuarios Andinos to see ‘Juanita’, the girl mummy discovered in the volcanic ice several years ago. She was a ‘chosen one’, probably an Incan princess, raised to be sacrificed, which was a noble thing – the museum is dark and cold, no cameras are allowed, but it has a

Fred Graham 1944 - 2013 Fred Graham will be remembered as a man of many words. He loved to tell a story! His bravery through his ill health is to be admired.

Family and friends were dear to his heart. He appreciated their support.

Fred lived his newly found faith and passed into Heaven on Thursday, October 10th, 2013 at 3:00 am. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am ready to go - please take me homeâ&#x20AC;?.

Fred was born in Nokomis, Saskatchewan on September 2, 1944. He leaves to honour his memory, his wife Donna, his son Rob; his grandchildren Kensington and Dallin and their mother Robyn, of Cranbrook; his sister Odiele (Dick) Haywood, of Chilliwack and brother Campbell (Sandra) Graham, of Edmonton; the son of his late brother Bob, Lorne Graham, of Edmonton; nephews Doug and David Graham; nieces Wendy, Sandra, Michelle and Julie; stepchildren Graham Tuson, of Vancouver and Marian Tuson of Cranbrook; granddaughters Kooper and Anysha and their mother Jen, of Vancouver; granddaughter Amanda and grandson Brandon Arnett, both of Cranbrook; parents-in-law, Millie and Frank McAleer and brother-in-law John McAleer (Karen), of Calgary; sister-in-law Susan Belkie (Mark), of Calgary; dear friends Jerry and Berit Macdonald and Rocko and Denise Potorti. He was predeceased by his father Carl and his mother Amy; his sisters Donna and Val, and his dear brother Robert.

Fred enjoyed the friendships he made in Kinsman and Rotary, also those of his fellow realtors and church.

A visitation for Fred was held on Tuesday, October 15, 2013 at McPhersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home in Cranbrook. His Interment was held prior to the memorial service in Ft. Steele Cemetery on Wednesday, October 16, 2013.

Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial service was held at the Cranbrook Alliance Church following the Interment with Cyril Marlatt officiating at 1:00 pm with a luncheon following the service.

ST. MARTIN DENTAL CLINIC Dr. Ernst H. Schandl Inc.

Family & loved ones held a wonderful memorial in the valley where Cathy and David (her loving husband) have been residing.

Cranbrook remembers Cathy, where for many years she blessed everyone with her professionalism managing the Cranbrook Golf Club, while still finding time to balance advice and guidance with her less experienced team. One cannot forget how she conquered the daunting task of being a successful leader and throughout this plight it still was easy to be Cathy’s lifelong friend, with her kind heart and supportive nature.

It is with great honor that Cranbrook shall share in a ‘celebration of life’ with those that knew, loved & respected Cathy.

This fresh & unique affair of memorial, laughter, toast or tear shall be held at Mission Hills Golf Course in Cranbrook, BC. Please, come & leave your personal expression.

YOUR AD in the BULLETIN has staying power. has selling power!

With so many advertising mediums dividing the attention of potential customers, newspapers remain the most effective source for reaching consumers. Why? Simply put, newspapers reach more people, more often. Highly portable and highly visible, newspaper ads go with people and stay with them.

That means your business is more likely to be on their minds when they’re in the market for related products or services. When it comes to spending your advertising dollars, make the choice that’s tried and true: newspaper advertising works harder for you.
