Residents angry over home-based business rules

Changes proposed by the RDEK board get a chilly reception from rural small business owners SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Concerned regional district business owners gathered at a public hearing on Thursday, October 24, to hear about proposed changes to home-based business regulations.

The public hearing for Area C residents around Cranbrook, Wycliffe, Fort Steele and

Moyie arose after the Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors gave two readings to the new regulations.

There were about a dozen people at the public hearing, but every person who spoke was opposed to the changes.

Council questions CP Rail on safety

Mayor, councillors held a special meeting with Canadian Pacific last week to air their concerns SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

Concerned with rail safety in the community, Cranbrook city council held a special meeting with Canadian Pacific on Wednesday, October 23.

Council asked Canadian Pacific (CP) to meet with them after hearing in August that the rail company had laid off four train car safety inspectors in Cranbrook, a month after the Lac-Me-

gantic railway tragedy.

Mayor Wayne Stetski thanked CP for its long-standing history in Cranbrook.

“I want to start by recognizing that CP Rail has been an important part of Cranbrook for 115 years now. You are an important part of our economy and certainly your employees are an important part of our community,” he said.

The fog that blanketed the Cranbrook area over recent days gave a surreal look to Moir Park activities.

Flights delayed, cancelled because of fog But they’re flying again after several days of weather

C AROLYN GR ANT Daily Bulletin

The fog over the last few days in Kimberley/Cranbrook had more then a few people wishing they could see the sun. But most inconvenienced

by the dense fog have been those trying to get in, or out, of the area via airplane.

The Canadian Rockies International Airport had most flights cancelled since last

Tuesday when the heavy fog rolled in.

The good news for travellers is that with the ceiling rising, flights began to arrive and depart from CRI on Sunday.

By noon Sunday, both Air Canada flights 7233 from Calgary and 8213 from Vancouver had arrived in Cranbrook, the former about an hour and a half late.

35-1500 Cranbrook St N in the Tamarack Shopping Centre

The next film in the Rockies Film Series, put on by Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club, documents background vocalists of famous singers. That film is 20 Feet From Stardom and it will be shown Nov. 7 at the Columbia Theatre.

Darryl Bishop, film committee chairperson for the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club, was excited about the new show.

“It is a movie about backup singers from the last number of years,” Bishop explained. “They stand 20 feet from centre stage and they belt out the hits with Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger or whomever else.

We know their voices on the records that we hear, but we don’t know who they are.”

The movie profiles these people, some of which choose to be there and like, Bishop said, but some would like to be 20 feet forward in the starring role.

“We bring in films in association of partnership with the Toronto International Film Festival. We bring in films that wouldn’t ordinarily screen in Cranbrook,” he said.

The film series has been running for almost a decade and reception is usually good with 120 people coming out on average. The films are screened at the Columbia Theatre. The series consists of four film screenings – one each in October, November, January and February.

The series complements the Rockies Film Festival going into its 16th year this spring.

Funds raised go into Sunrise Rotary’s programs for youth.

“We fund five scholarships with the funds,” Bishop said. “We also support youth exchange with Rotary youth scholarships which is a leadership program for young people.”

The series came as an addition to the film festival. It was started by Sunrise Rotary member Bill Gibbon almost 16 years ago. His daughter, Sharon Gibbon was involved in filmmaking and cinema. When she passed away, they decided that if they made any profits they would make a scholarship in her honour.

“That was the first scholarship for student of the arts,” Bishop said.

“The series then started years later as a result and the scholarships have been expanded to five.”

Tickets for 20 Feet From Stardom are being sold at Lotus Books for $10, but can also be picked up for $12 at the door. The screenings do occasionally sell out so it’s best to be safe and get your ticket beforehand.

A common message was that many people live in rural areas because they don’t want the same level of regulation as in a city.

“I’m not against all of it — I do believe in some control — but most of us live in the regional district because we don’t want city rules,” said Clayton Augustine.

Many people said that the regulations would be “throttling business” and closing the region off to business owners who might otherwise consider moving to the East Kootenay.

“There is no room for growth,” said Linda Spence. “If we shut the

door in their face, how are they going to come here?”

The board should take longer to consult with affected homeowners, she went on.

“It was too fast, or you would have a room full of small business people.”

Another resident echoed Spence’s statements.

“I am opposed primarily due to the way it has been handled,” said Dean Jacobson. “The board needs to consider whether it wants to take the same road as the city in closing its doors to business.”

The RDEK board of directors will vote again on the home-based business regulations at its Friday, November 1 meeting.

Another challenges is that Kootenay Rockies Tourism and the five other destination marketing arms under Tourism British Columbia have not seen any increase in their marketing budgets.

“In order to get those increases we need to see an increase in tourism revenue.”

It’s not all challenges, Cooper says. There are some success stories in individual areas.

“We are seeing some growth in individual communities and some sectors. Golf has taken a hit and is still not back.

There is some increase in festivals and heritage.

We’re definitely seeing the U.S. visitors coming back, but we still have some challenges.

As Kathy Cooper officially takes the reins as CEO of Kootenay Rockies Tourism — a position she has been in unofficially since the retirement of Chris Dadson last fall — the tourism industry in this area still faces challenges.

Tourism took a hit with the economic collapse of 2008, and Cooper says that while there are positive areas, the industry as a whole has not yet fully recovered.

“We haven’t made any gains since 2008,” Cooper said. “It’s been a slow climb back up to those levels and we are not there yet.”

It is a changing world and one of Cooper’s goals is to make sure Kootenay Rockies Tourism stays abreast of current trends and provides the best opportunities for all its stakeholders to increase revenues.

“One of the challenges in the tourism industry is that it has become seriously competitive,” Cooper said. “We compete with other jurisdictions with bigger marketing budgets. It’s global now. The tourism world has shrunk.

We don’t just compete with Alberta. We’re competing with Australia, Germany, Asia.

Tourism dollars are shrinking and everyone wants a piece of the pie.”

The high Canadian dollar hasn’t helped in recent years as visitors to Canada may hold off waiting for a more advantageous exchange rate.

Additionally, Canadians themselves travel to other countries to take advantage of the same.

But Canadians remain the largest market in the Kootenay Rockies Tourism area.

“67 per cent of our revenue comes from Alberta,” Cooper said.

“When the dollar is strong and they want to go elsewhere, we lose.

But, we are lucky that many of our Albertan

We have to present products in both of these worlds.”

The Kootenay app for smart phones was launched two years ago under Dadson’s tenure and has 8,000 downloads in that time.

“We just want to continue to bridge the gaps between marketing and innovation.

We have a great team with many talents.”

Continued from page 1 Almost all of the rural residents present ran home-based businesses, from mechanical operations to saw mills to bed and breakfasts.

They were concerned with several aspects of the regulations.

In the changes, properties less than two hectares must have less than 150 square metres (10 x 15) utilized by the business, which many felt was too small.

Some were concerned that the limit of one commercial vehicle greater than class 4 was too restrictive.

Others felt that the space allowed for a retail display in the business – 10 square metres – was too small. One resident gave the exam-

Council questions CP on rail safety Continued from page 1 But the news that more than half of CP’s railway carmen in Cranbrook had been laid off raised concerns, he went on.

“The concern from the community, given what happened in Quebec, was how does that leave Cranbrook in a safe position?” Stetski asked.

“It’s still in a safe position, there is no question about it,” responded Rick Poznikoff, CP’s senior manager of community relations and aboriginal affairs.

“Staff reductions are predicated on levels of traffic and numbers of traffic.

“The number one priority is safety. We are not compromising safety here. But in this case, these cars will be inspected either in Golden, Lethbridge and Cranbrook, and Trail.”

The mayor asked for clarification: does that mean that rail traffic

has decreased through Cranbrook?

“No decrease,” Poznikoff said. “But some of them go straight through to another destination. They are not switched here.”

Far fewer trains are broken apart and made up again in Cranbrook than used to be, he explained. Less frequent switching of rail cars means fewer inspections.

Councillor Gerry Warner asked how the Lac-Megantic tragedy happened given all of the rail industry’s safety precautions, including manual hand brakes on each rail car.

“We would like to know what happened too,” said Poznikoff.

“We are very curious.

We are just as concerned. Unfortunately, we have to wait until the Transportation Safety Board does an investigation and comes out with a re-

port.”

Poznikoff did a lot to alleviate council’s concerns about rail safety in Cranbrook.

He pointed out that 99.998 percent of rail industry shipments considered hazardous commodities reach their destination without a train accident.

Rail hazardous commodity accident rates are down 91 percent since 1980 and 38 percent since 2000.

Poznikoff went over CP’s procedures for checking rail lines and rail cars throughout its network.

About once a year in the area, a Rail Flaw Detector Car inspects the main track at regular intervals and uses an ultrasonic and induction system to detect internal flaws in rail.

Rail grinding is done between one and four times a year to restore the profile of rail and extends track life by removing irregularities.

Public hearing on museum structure heritage and rezoning scheduled Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adopting “City of Cranbrook Heritage Amendment Bylaw No. 3780, 2013”.

The purpose of the proposed Heritage Amendment Bylaw is to amend “Heritage Bylaw No. 2724, 1984” by adding to Schedule “A” the following two buildings: •

Elko Station located at 1 Van Horne Street South on property legally described as Parcel A (Reference Plan 46091I) of District Lot 5, Kootenay District; and,

•

the former CPR freight shed, which is attached to the Railway Museum, and located at 75 Van Horne Street South on property legally described as Lot 1, Plan NEP 65720, District Lots 5 & 30, Kootenay District.

There will be opportunity for the public to weigh in on whether the city should designate Elko Station and the former CPR freight shed of the Railway Museum as a heritage building.

Last Monday, council gave first and second reading to the recommendation by the Well-

ness and Heritage Committee to amend the heritage bylaw to include the structures.

Council also passed the second readings of OCP and zoning amendments to change the Elko Station to Core Commercial zoning, from Park/Institutional/ Recreational.

The public hearing will be on Nov. 4 at 6

The above noted buildings and properties are shown on the reference map below.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL Consulting Services for Employee Group Benefits Plan The City is seeking proposals from qualified proponents for the provision of consulting services for its employee group benefits plan.

City staff noted that giving the buildings formal statuses could help in acquiring grants for maintenance or restoration.

Damon Colgan, executive director of the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, and Jeanette Sissons, Chair of CAMAL (Cranbrook Archives, Museum and Landmark Foundation), first brought the subject forward in August. At that time the museum was also hoping to have the nearby water tower designated as well.

Council then asked staff on Sept. 9 to prepare an amendment to the city’s Heritage Bylaw to include those structures. However, later in September council received another letter asking to drop the water tower from consideration, since it’s owned

by Canadian Pacific and located on their land.

The museum wanted to get permission from CP and worried that it would take time and slow the process down.

According to the museum’s records, the freight shed was built in 1898 and is one of the oldest structures in Cranbrook. The outside retains it’s historic look, while the interior is constructed to modern standards.

Elko Station was constructed between 19001901 and is an example of a “Crowsnest Style B station.” It was originally the train station in Elko.

In 1987 it was moved to its present location next to the Railway Museum.

The building housed offices, a gift shop and the archives for the museum before those things were moved to the new building.

On the evening of Oct 24, members of the Cranbrook and Kimberley RCMP executed a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act in Marysville.

Several types of drugs were located including, MDMA, marijuana, hashish and Ketamine. A male, 37, and female were arrested.

The male has since been charged with Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking. On Friday, Oct. 25, he appeared before a Judicial Justice of the Peace and has been remanded in custody until today, Monday, Oct. 28.

The subject is known to police and has a fairly extensive criminal record — he was arrested two years ago for the same offence.

Police were particularly concerned for two reasons: One, children often reside in the residence and secondly, the presence of Ketamine. If used improperly or mixed with other substances Ketamine can be very dangerous. Veterinarians primarily use it as a general anesthesia usually with a sedative for large animals.

MDMA (3,4-methyl e n e d i ox y - m e t ha m phetamine), popularly known as ecstasy, is a synthetic, psychoactive drug that has similarities to both the stimulant amphetamine and the hallucinogen mescaline. MDMA can have many of the same physical effects as other stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines. These include increases in heart rate and blood pressure, which are particularly risky for people with circulatory problems or heart disease.

MDMA users may experience other symptoms such as muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, faintness, and chills or sweating.

But this week, Duffy told the Senate that he met with both Harper and Wright to discuss the issue last February. Duffy says the Prime Minister told him to repay his expenses, worried about how the issue would play with the conservative base.

Harper denies ever saying it was about perception.

The entire mess hangs on one unknown.

Did the Prime Minister know about the cheque to Duffy? There is no doubt the Prime Minister’s Office, the PMO, was heavily involved, but did Harper himself have knowledge of it?

Duffy never did come right out and say Harper was party to the conversation about the cheque. He skirted it, he came close to it, but he never actually said it.

Last week, Duffy, Brazeau and Wallin all spoke to the Senate, in hearings over their potential expulsion. They begged for due process and for their jobs and health care benefits. They pointed their fingers at fellow Senators, accusing them of bringing out the long knives on behalf of the PMO. It was a repellent, yet strangely compelling spectacle. And it has caught Prime Minister Harper in its web as surely as the most tenacious spider. Nothing, not even a huge trade deal with Europe, has had the ability to shake the Opposition, or the press, off the subject. Has Canada’s teflon man finally run into something that penetrates the surface?

Opinion/Events

Invermere deer cull upheld C B C /Co lu m b i a Va l l e y P i o n e e r

The Invermere Deer Protection Society’s lawsuit against the district of Invermere was finally heard in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver earlier this month, a year and a half after it was first filed.

And on Friday, Oct. 25, B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled against some animal rights activists trying to stop the culling of deer in Invermere, B.C. The district says aggressive deer are a threat to public safety, but the Invermere Deer Protection Society was arguing the town’s council did not consult the community before going ahead with plans to destroy 19 deer two years ago.

The Invermere Deer Protection Society’s legal argument had three main points — a procedural fairness argument, a jurisdiction argument and an unreasonableness argument, according to the group’s lawyer Rebeka Breder.

Devin Kazakoff, head of the deer protection society, called the court’s decision disappointing.

“They’ve agreed with the district on the fact that they consulted the public,” Kazakoff said. “We don’t agree with the

judge’s decision, but that’s what it is,” he said.

Other B.C. communities had been watching this case closely because they use the same public process as Invermere to obtain permits from the provincial government to destroy deer.

Invermere Mayor Gerry Taft said the lawsuit was one of the “nastiest experiences I’ve ever had,” and that he and his council received petitions, emails from all over the world and even death threats throughout the case.

“We’re glad to have that over with,” he said.

The issue of a deer cull in Invermere is not entirely settled, however. A public referendum on Nov. 2 will allow residents to decide if more permits for future culls should be sought by the district.

Kazakoff said he’s confident the vote will vindicate his group’s efforts.

“You get a few people that think they’re aggressive of think they’re a nuisance, but generally from the people I talk to... everybody loves the deer. I just hope that shows up in the vote,” he told CBC News.

While the debate continues over the abundance of deer in Invermere, the urban ungulate’s wild cousins are actually in decline.

“Mule deer populations have not been doing that well over the past five to 10 years, and we are proposing to change some of the buck hunting seasons,” said Cranbrook-based Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resources wildlife biologist Tara Szkorupa.

“It’s quite a different situation in town versus the backcountry,” she added.

“They are doing very well in town, away from predators, and with lots of food.”

This year is the second in a two-year regulation cycle and the ministry is now putting forward proposed hunting changes for 2014.

“We don’t actually harvest any female mule deer in our region,” said Ms. Szkorupa. “It’s factors other than hunting that are affecting that population, and we don’t have a great understanding of that.

It’s some combination of predation and habitat. We’re just starting on a major research project to try and dig into that a little deeper.”

Pet waste stations installed at Idlewild Park Submitted

After a long process of negotiations and numerous delays, on Oct.18, finally three Pet Waste Stations, courtesy of Karla Shalley owner of The Playpen, were installed at Idlewild Park.

The City was first approached with the proposal to install pet waste stations in the fall of 2012. Several emails, meetings, and constant delays were the ‘order’ since early May of this year.

In October, Karla, along with her two volunteers, Todd and Eileen, were given permission to install these three stations themselves. It didn’t take these three enthusiastic and willing volunteers very long to get these stations installed.

The stations are all on the 9th St. entrances

Karla Shalley and Eileen Braaten are pictured installing a waste station at Idlewild Park. to Idlewild; two of them at the entrances to Idlewild Peace Park, and the third at the parking lot near to the

children’s play area.

Our hopes are that pet owners will be responsible and pick up, making good use of these

stations installed for their use, and to assist the City in helping to keep our City clean.

Sawmills closing in beetle aftermath Tom Fle tcher Black Press

Sawmills in Quesnel and Houston are to be closed next year as their owners trade timber cutting rights to maintain competing operations in the two B.C. Interior communities affected by mountain pine beetle infestation.

Canfor Corp. announced it will close its Quesnel mill in March 2014, transferring its forest licence for the region to West Fraser to supply logs to its recently rebuilt Quesnel mill.

West Fraser announced it will close its Houston mill next year,

trading part of its cutting rights to Canfor to supply its Houston operation.

West Fraser CEO Ted Seraphim said in a statement its Houston closure will affect 225 employees. The company plans “major rebuilds” of its sawmills in 100 Mile House and Smithers, and is proceeding with a bioenergy projects at its Fraser Lake and Chetwynd operations.

“Our first priority is to explore opportunities to transition Houston employees to one of our other operations, and we will provide assistance in find-

ing new employment,” Seraphim said.

Canfor CEO Don Kayne said the 209 employees at its Quesnel mill will be offered positions elsewhere in the company.

“The additional fibre we have been able to secure in the exchange agreement with West Fraser enhances the fibre requirements for our Houston facility,” Kayne said.

Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, who chaired a review of Interior timber supplies in the wake of last year’s explosion and fire at Babine Forest

Products in Burns Lake, said he expected the decision to reduce mill capacity in the Quesnel region.

“The surprise is the closure of the Houston mill, from my perspective,” Rustad said. “I think West Fraser has always been looking at how they want to move the wood between the three mills, but when we looked at the opportunities in the Houston area on the timber supply component, there was a significant amount of wood in that area, and our hope was it would continue to support two mills.”

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

If it’s one thing that’s clear after a pair of games this weekend, it’s that the Kootenay Ice still struggle with consistency.

The Ice hosted the Winterhawks and Warriors at Western Financial Place, losing 6-3 to Portland on Friday and winning 5-4 against Moose Jaw the following night.

New Ice forward Tim Bozon notched his first point as a Kootenay Ice player with an assist, while defenceman Landon Cross and Rinat Valiev made their home debut in Cranbrook.

Portland took advantage of a flat start from the Ice and were up 3-0 after 15 minutes. Their relentless forecheck and aggressive speed kept the Kootenay squad on their heels for most of the game, but the Ice did add some offence in the final period.

“That’s a real good team over there, a lot of skill, a lot of speed, a pretty good transition game, and we didn’t help ourselves,” said Austin Vetterl, who scored one of Kootenay’s goals.

“We didn’t get the puck deep early, we missed the net a lot, which helped their transition game a lot.”

Moose Jaw was the opposite, as the Ice got off to a hot start with a 3-1 lead after two periods, but nearly allowed the Warriors to come back in the final frame.

“The start was fine, the first two periods was good for us, the part that worries us, obviously, is allowing them to come back into the game,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson.

Both Mackenzie Skapski and Wyatt Hoflin split the starts; the former against the Winterhawks and the latter against the Warriors.

Skapski had a rough night, with six

goals in 38 shots against Portland, while Hoflin surrendered four goals in the same number of shots against Moose Jaw. The Winterhawks, the reigning WHL championship squad, took advantage of a slow Kootenay start, and drew blood 60 seconds into the game on a goal from Nic Petan.

Chase De Leo doubled the lead when he received a behind-the-net pass and flipped the puck on net and in.

De Leo notched another goal ten minutes later, throwing the puck on goal from the sideboards that somehow rolled up and underneath Skapski’s arm into the cage.

“That’s a real good team over there, a lot of skill, a lot of speed, a pretty good transition game, and we didn’t help ourselves.”

Austin Vetterl Sam Reinhart finally responded for Kootenay on a late power play, snapping a shot past Portland netminder Jarrod Schamerhorn.

The Ice were badly outplayed in the period, reflected by shots on goal, as Portland led 17-6.

The two teams held each other to a draw in the second period, but the goals piled up in the final frame.

Austin Vetterl pulled the Ice within one by sneaking a low shot past Schamerhorn four minutes in.

However, the Winterhawks scored two quick and deflating goals, as Derek Pouliot and Josh Hanson beat Skapski high glove side on similiar looking shots from the

point.

Kootenay put in a strong shift with some good pressure in Portland’s zone, and were rewarded when Zak Zborosky capitalized during a scramble in front of the net at the halfway mark.

Keegan Iverson answered back 43 seconds later, as Portland rode out the rest of the game to win 6-3.

“They came out to a strong start and we didn’t match that, and it was too little, too late,” said Henderson. “Definitely the effort wasn’t there and too many turnovers and it definitely cost us.”

Kootenay cleaned up their start against Moose Jaw, leading 3-1 after two periods, but the Warriors nearly battled their way back to a tie in the third frame.

Jeff Hubic had a productive night while working on the blue line, with three assists.

“I thought he played extremely well,” said Henderson. “As far as defence goes, it’s somewhat new for him as far as positioning goes, but I thought he played extremely well and definitely reliable out there.”

Hubic’s first apple came on a slap pass to Reinhart, who redirected the puck into the net for Kootenay’s first goal.

He notched his second in the middle frame while clearing the puck out of the zone on a penalty kill, which went right to Landon Peel, who busted out of the penalty box and scored on a breakaway.

Descheneau took advantage of a rebound in front of Warriors goaltender Justin Paulic on an Ice powerplay to make it 3-0 roughly halfway through the game.

Moose Jaw was able put themselves up on the board late in the period on an effort from Jack Rodewald.

Red Sox beat Cardinals 4-2 to even World Series Ronald Blum Associated Press

ST. LOUIS - Jonny Gomes got the Red Sox even in this wild World Series, thanks partly to Shane Victorino’s aching back.

Inserted into the lineup about 75 minutes before gametime, Gomes hit a three-run homer off reliever Seth Maness in the sixth inning that led Boston to a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night, tying the Series at two games apiece.

Felix Doubront and surprise reliever John Lackey, both starters during the regular season, picked up for a gritty Clay Buchholz to help the Red Sox ensure the Series will return to Boston.

And one night after that game-ending obstruction call, another unusual ending. Koji Uehara picked off rookie pinch-runner Kolten Wong at first base for the final out - with

post-season star Carlos Beltran standing at the plate.

Game 5 is Monday night at Busch Stadium, with Boston left-hander Jon Lester facing Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright in a rematch of the opener won 8-1 by the Red Sox. Gomes helped get Boston started in the fifth when he followed David Ortiz’s leadoff double with a 10-pitch walk that tired starter Lance Lynn, who had faced the minimum 12 batters through the first four innings.

Stephen Drew’s sacrifice fly tied the score 1-all, erasing a deficit created when centre fielder Jacoby Ellsbury’s third-inning error advanced Matt Carpenter into scoring position for Beltran’s RBI single.

Ortiz, who homered in the first two games of the Series, had three of Boston’s six hits and was the club’s leader, smacking his hands together

and screaming at teammates to get going when he pulled into second base on his double.

Then, after the fifth inning, he huddled the Red Sox for a pep talk in the dugout.

Not long after, Gomes’ drive put Boston ahead 4-1 in the sixth.

With adrenaline taking over, Gomes spiked an arm through the air as he rounded first base, yelled and banged his chest with a fist twice. Teammates tugged on Gomes’ beard for good luck when he got back to the dugout, including a two-handed pull by Mike Napoli.

While talk of umpires’ calls dominated discussion following two of the opening three games, this one turned on a manager’s pregame decision.

John Farrell’s original Red Sox lineup didn’t include Gomes, but Victorino’s back had been bothering him since Saturday, so Daniel Nava was

moved from left field to right and from fifth to second in the batting order. Gomes was inserted into the No. 5 hole behind Ortiz.

Gomes had been 0 for 9 in the Series before the home run, and Red Sox outfielders had been 4 for 40 with no RBIs. Following Dustin Pedroia’s twoout single and a four-pitch walk to Ortiz by Lynn, Maness threw five straight sliders to Gomes, who sent the last one into the Red Sox bullpen in left as Matt Holliday kept running back only to run out of room.

Carpenter singled in a run in the seventh off Craig Breslow in the seventh after pinch-hitter Shane Robinson doubled with two outs against Doubront on a ball that skidded away from Gomes. Junichi Tazawa came in and got Holliday to hit an inning-ending grounder to second, a night after allowing a tiebreaking, two-run double to Holliday.

Nitros come home pointless after road trip ADVERTISING Tre vor Cr awley Sports Editor

Three was an unlucky number for the Kimberley Dynamiters this weekend.

The team went on the road for three games in three nights, suffering three losses up in Revelstoke, Chase and Sicamous.

Following the loss to the Grizzlies on Thursday night, the Nitros headed into Chase and dropped a 4-1 decision before falling 3-1 at the hands of the Eagles in Sicamous on Saturday.

The Heat scored four

unanswered goals to win 4-1 on Friday night in Chase, as the Nitros headed west following their Thursday night matchup against the Grizzlies in Revelstoke.

Even though they took the loss, Kimberley scored first on a goal from Jared Marchi, but it was all Chase from there on in.

Cody Koskimaki, Jordan Passmore and Kaleb Boyle all answered for the Heat in the latter 10 minutes of the opening frame.

Nicholas Fidanza added a goal in the sec-

ond period, while both squads were scoreless in the final frame.

Troy Brouwer took the loss in net, turning away 21 shots, while Kimberley put 23 pucks on Jacob Mattes for the Heat.

Kimberley was shut out in four powerplay

opportunities, while the Heat drew blood once in five chances with the man-advantage.

Kimberley headed into Sicamous on Saturday, but were undone after the Eagles scored a pair of goals in the final period to break a 1-1 tie after 40 minutes.

Sicamous notched a power play goal from Tyson Taylor in the opening period, but Kimberley answered back from Andrew Stack in the following period to even it up.

Matthew Maetche scored another power-

play goal in the third period for the Eagles, while Nathan Grieve scored the empty netter.

Jeremy Mousseau guarded the net for Kimberley, making 35 saves in defeat, while his team put 44 shots on Eagles goalie Kris Joyce.

Despite the losses, Kimberley still stands on top of the Eddie Mountain Division, one point ahead of the Creston Valley Thundercats.

Next action for the Nitros is a home-andhome series with the division runner ups next weekend.

Ice repel the Warriors to hang on for 5-4 win Continued from page 8 Descheneau tallied again when he walked into the slot from the sideboards with a nice toe-drag to beat Paulic for a 4-1 lead in the third period.

However, Rodewald responded a few minutes later, when a shot from the point redirected right to his stick for an open net with Hoflin out of position.

Kootenay restored their three-goal lead just over a minute later, when Kyle O’Connor picked up a rebound in front of the net, spun around and fired the puck into the corner. Hubic picked up his third assist on the play.

With 10 minutes to go, the wheels fell off a bit for the Ice, which allowed two quick goals that made for a tense finish.

On similar looking shots, Brayden Point and Torrin Whyte both beat Hoflin low on the glove side in a span of under two minutes to trail by one with eight minutes remaining in the game.

The Warriors buzzed the Kootenay zone in the final minute with six attackers and an empty net, but the Ice were able to hang on for the win.

“We’re in command and control throughout the first two periods and we found a way to let them back in the game and that’s a little concerning,” said Henderson, “but ultimately we got the two points, and that’s the biggest concern, but we do have some stuff to fix, for sure.”

Bozon also drew two assists on Descheneau’s goals,

while Valiev and Zborosky both picked up some points.

Kootenay is starting to get some scoring that is more distributed throughout the lineup, which is a good sign, said Henderson.

“It definitely helps, it takes a lot of pressure off Jaedon and Sam and with the new guys coming too, that’s going to help alleviate some of that pressure, and it makes it a lot easier on ourselves when we have production from all four lines,” Henderson said.

Descheneau agreed.

“You need secondary scoring to win, you can’t rely on certain people every night,” Descheneau said.

Mike Dyck, who is helping out Henderson when McGill takes off for the World Juniors, joined the Kootenay Ice on the bench for both games.

NOTES: In a move that shouldn’t be too surprising, Brent Sutter and Ryan McGill were named to Team WHL’s coaching staff for the Subway Super Series on Friday. The Super Series features a Russian junior squad that tours through the QMJHL, OHL, and WHL with two games in each league along the way.

The event is billed as a tune up to look at which players could be representing their country at the World Junior Championships, as Sutter and McGill are on Team Canada’s coaching staff. Benoit Groulx, who will join Sutter and McGill on the bench with Team Canada, is the QMJHL’s head coach for the Super Series.

Red Deer and Lethbridge are hosting the two WHL games and the roster should be unveiled this week.

■ When choosing a costume, stay away from billowing or long trailing fabric. If you are making your own costume, choose material that won’t easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or flame. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so they can see out.

■ Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-olanterns, use long fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of way of trickor-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards.

■ Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes.

■ Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.

■ Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters.

Discard any unwrapped candy and wash and cut up any fruit before eating it.

■ Tell children to stay away from open flames. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire. (Have them practice stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.)

■ It is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candles in a jack-o-lantern. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution.

■ Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torch lights when decorating walkways and yards. They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting.

■ Always remember to carry a flashlight when trick-ortreating after dark.

■ Drivers should drive slowly and watch out for trick-ortreaters.

■ Stick to sidewalks and avoid taking shortcuts across yards or alleys.

■ Adults should carefully inspect candy for tampering before it is eaten.

■ If your children are going to Halloween parties at others’ homes, have them look for ways out of the home and plan how they would get out in an emergency.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You speak your mind loudly and clearly. You might decide that it’s time to get past a problem that has been slowing you down. Sometimes just expressing the caring you feel can help clear up a hassle. Tonight: Head home early, while your luck is still hot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Focus on what is important to handle. You could be taken aback by what is going on and by how undisciplined you might be. Realize that you are a creature of extremes. You need to let your moods run their course without reacting to them. Tonight: Start a conversation.

path for success. How you say what you need and how you express your need for acknowledgment is very likely to change. Be more forthright at times and a little less charming.

Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll assume your normal role as leader of the gang. You handle responsibility well, though it takes its toll on you. Stress needs to be handled quickly right now, as you have a lot of ground to cover. Take a walk or just take a break. Tonight: Join a favorite friend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be excited by an upcoming event or by a visit from someone. This excitement flows into every other part of your life, or so it seems. You might want to revisit your impression of a key matter. In a different mood, everything could change. Tonight: Out late.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Consider getting feedback from others about what they feel is necessary. A brainstorm session easily could evolve. Let a close

associate take a lead role in a key matter. You might not realize it, but this person expresses his or her caring by taking action. Tonight: Be creative.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have the ability to visualize more of what you want from a situation and express it, which could affect your friends. You probably don’t realize the impact that you have on others.

Start the process of manifesting a desire through sharing more.

Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You see a great deal of sensitivity and understanding emerge as others deal with their daily routines and events. A sense of well-being will be contagious, and it might allow a difficult situation to be resolved. Tonight: Reach for the stars. Nearly anything is possible.

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am getting married next year.

One of the most stressful things for me is picking the attendants. I have my best man and two groomsmen. My fiancee, “Sara,” suggested I add another friend, which I was happy to do.

Then, a good friend found out and was a little upset that I didn’t choose him, as well. He tried to joke about not being in the wedding, but I knew he was a little hurt, so I asked him to be a groomsman. He has been the most excited about everything since then. So Sara and I now have four attendants each.

The problem is, I have one additional friend, “Mark,” who I know will be upset if he is the only one of my close friends left out of the wedding party. I’d like to include Mark, but Sara doesn’t have many friends and would have trouble finding a matching partner as an attendant.

How should I go about this? I feel weird even talking about my wedding with Mark because he isn’t included. -- West Coast Dilemma Dear Dilemma: First of all, while it’s nice for attendants to “match up,” it is not a requirement. One groomsman can escort two bridesmaids. Attendants also can walk separately, or two groomsmen (or bridesmaids) can walk together. Discuss this with Sara, in case she has someone else she’d like to ask.

Another option is to include Mark by giving him a different honor: He could be an usher, directing guests to their seats and handing out programs if you have them. You also could ask him to read something during the ceremony or help in other ways. He would be treated the same as a groomsman and included in all planned events.

Dear Annie: My husband and I occasionally socialize with another couple our age.

The problem is, at restaurants, the husband is condescending to the wait staff, repeatedly asks for substitutions and always sends some of his food back with a complaint. In addition, he is a stingy tipper.

His wife says nothing when these things happen. But we are embarrassed by his behavior. We don’t want to humiliate them or cause a scene by being critical. What do you suggest? -- A Friend of Waiters Dear Friend: You can tell a lot about a person’s character by the way he treats the wait staff at a restaurant. If you insist on socializing with this boorish man, we suggest you avoid places where he will cause embarrassment and ill will. Go to a movie or a play, and stop briefly for a drink after. Meet for coffee. Invite them to your home if you prefer to share a meal. We think his wife will know why you no longer eat out with them, and she will inform her husband. How they choose to deal with that is up to them.

Dear Annie: I cried when I read the letter from “Hurt and Alone,” whose husband goes out drinking with his cheating friends and leaves her at home.

I, too, have been hurt and alone for years.

My husband’s alcohol intake, work schedule and need to be the social center of attention have taken priority in our marriage for 20 years. My husband is the kind of guy who treats everyone to everything, so people think he’s the greatest. He’s not a raging, belligerent or violent alcoholic. He’s a successful functioning alcoholic who is an expert at excuses and turning the tables.

Tell “Hurt and Alone” that she is not the only one who has spent many a night waiting for her husband to come home. I was once a self-assured, confident woman, but I’ve lost myself coping with endless lies and loneliness while trying to raise three children. -- Lonely in California Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

NEWS

C anadian Press

Lou Reed Reed performed numerous shows in Canada going back decades, with early solo shows in Toronto and Montreal in the 1970s, according to concert tracking service SongKick.

British musician and former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett told Britain’s The Guardian newspaper that fights broke out between Genesis and Reed supporters when the progressive rock band opened for Reed in a 1973 gig at Toronto’s Massey Hall.

“There were people who wanted to watch Genesis, and people who wanted to watch Lou Reed. And that deteriorated

into a punch-up between the Lou Reed fans who were on downers, and the Genesis fans who were more into Earl Grey tea,’’ Hackett told the paper in 2011.

Several Canadian musicians took to Twitter to remember Reed, who led pioneering 1960s art-rock band Velvet Underground.

“Just got some sad news....

Influential musician Lou Reed was no stranger to Canada, playing gigs here over several decades and having an effect on Canadian artists.

In one of his final appearances in Canada, Reed took to the stage with Elvis Costello, Ron Sexsmith and others during the Vancouver 2010 Olympics to pay tribute to fellow musical icon Neil Young.

Clad in all black with a demeanour that could only be described as all business, Reed hammered his guitar through a performance of Young’s “Helpless’’ before accompanying vocalist Jenni Muldaur on a rendition of “Harvest.’’

And he returned months later for a Montreal International Jazz Festival for an avant-garde performance with widow Laurie Anderson and composer John Zorn.

Reed’s literary agent Andrew Wylie confirmed the legendary musician died Sunday morning in Southampton at age 71 of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant.

Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has committed $1,980,000 in funding over the next three years to the Basin Business Advisors (BBA) program. Delivered by Community Futures (CF), the program aims to build economic capacity in Basin communities by strengthening and supporting all business models.

On the initial admission day a standard meal is given.

Lunch and dinner have been traditionally assembled on trays based on diet specifications. Standard items are put on.

“We in health care need to address how much food goes in the garbage. We need to reduce that, what goes into our landfills and be part of the green effort as well,” says Altenhoff.

These changes in food service are taking place over the next couple weeks leading up to November 1. Interior Health East includes Grand Forks to Golden and all points in between to the Alberta border.

IH is also addressing other menu items that are commonly wasted because most people don’t like them or they don’t suit a community’s ethnic base.

“We’ve identified, ‘this product definitely doesn’t go over, let’s look and make the changes to the menu,’” Altenhoff says. “We try to address the needs of the patient instead of setting up a menu that’s not popular… We want to make changes so that our patients are best served and getting the food they want instead of seeing it go in the garbage.”

During this time of transitioning to eliminate waste, IH is also looking at making all meals similar to breakfast served bulk-style

It may seem a small packet of salt is the least of the health authority’s budgetary worries but Altenhoff explains in a year, for the thousands of people going through the hospital, providing that salt and pepper adds up to $3,000 to $5,000. Tea — between the bags and cup lids — adds up to $22,000.

“Because we’re serving such a mass amount of people it adds up,” she says.

IH is looking at a new way of providing these items via a checklist for “patients who actually want them,” says Altenhoff.
