Jeannette Oostlander has again just managed to get all her paintings finished in time for her annual show at the Days Inn, Friday, Nov. 22 through Sunday, Nov. 24.

“I had another slow

start,” the plein-air artist said. “But once I headed out into the backcountry the paintings came in my usual style — fast and furious.”

On-location paintings of Perry Creek, St. Mary Lake, the Hellroaring area and Cartwright Lake near the Bugaboos will all be part of the show.

Oostlander made her first trip ever into the Kananaskis and came home with several new plein-air paintings.

“The mountains were spectacular,” she said. “It was just a matter of where I should start.

“I did one little painting of a great view close to Bragg Creek and a

herd of horses and a mule wandered over to check me out when I started. Then they came back to pose for the finished painting photo shoot. I’m almost certain they approve of the painting.”

A couple of hot spots in the show were inspired by the brilliant colours from her gar-

Painting for a lifetime; George Hogg celebrates 50 years Art show this weekend C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

Kimberley’s George Hogg has been painting professionally for 50 years, and this weekend will open his home studio at 554 Church Street for an art show and sale.

He has amassed an incredible catalogue of works, mainly with Western themes, over the course of his career.

Hogg’s work sells steadily at galleries throughout Canada and the U.S., even overseas, but he has never had the desire to leave the Kootenays.

“I have had gallery owners ask me, ‘why don’t you move closer to the are scene, like Vancouver?,” Hogg said. “But I love the

but not as a subject to paint.

Townsite stairs vandalized again Police have lead on suspects C AROLYN GR ANT editor@dailybulletin.ca

The continuing saga of the Townsite stairs has taken another turn.

Last spring the stairs were damaged when vandals rolled a boulder down them and they have been closed since.

Townsite residents have been persistent in asking for their repair and the City began work on the stairs this fall.

But there has been another setback. Cpl. Chris Newel reports that

two teenagers have rolled the upper stairs platform over the bank just as work was nearing completion. The structure of the stairs was not damaged but it did take time to retrieve it and put the platform back in place.

However, Newel says police have solid evidence as to who the suspects are and will be following up.

“Police, the City and local residents are very disappointed in the actions and lack of respect shown by these two subjects,” Newel said.

and I love it.”

Hogg does occasionally paint other settings, such as Mexico or Arizona when he and wife Isobel travel, but he mostly paints what he knows and what he knows is the natural environment of the Kootenays and Rockies.

And at age 83 — 84 next month — he is not slowing down.

“I’ve got to paint.

I’ve just got to. There is so much in my head I want to do. I still paint every day, but never on Sunday. And I never pain in July and August. That’s when I go out and hike the hills and get my material.

After 50 years, I’m just trying to get better.”

Hogg has a record of

every painting he’s ever done, all 1,640 of them. He has taken a photograph of every one of them and Isobel keeps them in a scrap book.

“I can look back at all 1,640 and I can see when my style changes, whether I’m improving.”

Isobel has been an integral part of George’s career since the beginning, he says.

“I go up and paint and she looks after sales, shipping to galleries, cutting matts for watercolours. If I had to do all that myself, I couldn’t have done it. I am lucky to have a wife devoted to my work.

She does a wonderful job.”

Advertorial

Senior’s Lifestyle Community Keeps Winter at Bay Life in winter can be daunting for seniors. The cold temperatures can make the simplest of tasks much more difficult. Chores like shoveling the drive-way or picking up groceries can turn into momentous tasks. Ice and snow represent real physical dangers that can not only cause a nasty fall but also get in the way of activities outside the house. There is always the worry of a broken or failing heating system that can result in all manner of bills and troubles, adding more unnecessary stress. Combine these stresses and it may lower quality of life, causing family members endless worry.

Fortunately retirement housing at Garden View Village can provide plenty of peace of mind for both the residents and the family members, with apartments designed to take the worry out of winter. Not only are the studio, one and two-bedroom suites appointed for comfort and independence but also include many key features to help with each resident’s individual wants and needs. Independent heat and airconditioning controls allow them to set the apartments temperature to whatever will be most comfortable for them. Full kitchens and large wheelchair accessible bathrooms can help residents maintain their independence while weekly housekeeping services and 24-hour assistance is available for complete peace of mind.

Since the Village boasts many leisure opportunities, residents don’t have to worry about braving the harsh winter weather in search of relaxation and fun. Just outside of their front door they will find many amenities such as a games room, library, and spa, as well as many lounge areas which are certain to be filled with friendly

faces and familiar smiles. There are also special recreational and social activities such as live entertainment, exercise programs and excursions to local attractions, which are all covered in the affordable monthly rent. Also included in the rent are the delicious meals which are prepared by the onsite chef in the warm central dining room where residents can enjoy meal next to a cozy fireplace where friends and family are always welcome to join.

Garden View Village also understands just how much pets are a part of the family. Residents are encouraged to share their apartments with their companions in the totally pet friendly building.

With all of these wonderful features the Village relieves worries not only for residents but also for family members. “I had the best winter last year because I live three hours away and didn’t have to worry about my mom being alone.” said Linda Frew, whose mother is a resident at the Golden Life location in Kimberley.

“I have total peace of mind knowing there is staff on site 24 hours a day, that she has company for dinner every night, and she is being well cared for.

But most of all I have peace of mind knowing she is very happy.”

No longer should seniors have to worry about shoveling the walkway or what they’ll do should a maintenance emergency befall them. Cold weather is no reason that seniors shouldn’t be free to enjoy the many activities, freedoms, and quality of life.

Garden View Village provides just that and much, much more. Open daily; call Garden View Village at (250) 427-4014 for more information or to book a tour.

This weekend the Kimberley Volunteer Ski Patrol is holding their annual ski swap, which of-

fers a chance to get rid of unused gear and find a new pair of skis, snowboard or other equipment.

The ski swap is happening on Saturday Nov.

16, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the old fire hall in Cranbrook’s downtown.

The swap will take any kind of gear.

“We’ve got cross-country gear, downhill gear, snowboards,” said Mike Daigle, president of the Kimberley Volunteer Ski Patrol Society. “We’re kind of trying to expand into any kind of gear people want to bring by and try to sell off. It doesn’t have to be just ski and snowboard type stuff. Someone talked about bringing their kayak by.”

Drop off, if you have equipment to sell, is this Friday, Nov. 15, from 5 to 8 p.m. or Saturday morning from 8 to 9 a.m. The society charges a $5 fee per item, up to a maximum of $20, and then 20

PUBLIC NOTICE

NEIGHBOURHOOD OUTDOOR ICE RINK

The City of Kimberley is offering interested residents and neighbourhood volunteers the opportunity to enjoy a community/neighbourhood outdoor ice rink. Neighbourhood volunteers will flood and maintain the outdoor rinks. The Rinks will be set up at Stemwinder Park, Swan Ave Park and/or Garden Park.

Volunteer/resident commitment is an essential requirement to establish and maintain these neighbourhood rinks.

For more information on the neighbourhood rink program, please contact the Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department at City Hall at 250-427-9660,

by November 22, 2013.

per cent of the selling price if it sells.

The funds that the society raises from the ski swap will be used to pay for training, equipment and other expenses. The ski patrol is a volunteer non-profit society.

“We have about all 21 members that help out to run the whole thing,” Daigle said. “We’re always trying to find the best location for people to access it. This year it’s at the old fire hall.”

In past years the swap has been held at Bridge Interiors, the Tamarack Shopping Centre, the Ktunaxa Gym, and before that it was held in Kimberley.

The ski patrol operates year round in some form and works on other events such as first aid at the Triathlon at Wasa and the Gran Fondo.

The ski swap is one the bigger events and Daigle said it takes a lot of effort from the group to put together.

“We have to get the right space, and get enough advertising out there. I think we have about 100 posters up around Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie, Invermere,” he said.

Daigle said the society likes running the event because it helps people get good deals on ski stuff.

This year Tim Horton’s will be providing

donuts and coffee. Staples helped out with printing posters for the event.

“We try to get the corporate people involved as well, so we try to get all the ski shops to bring stuff down if they want or if they want to get rid of their older stock,” he said.

“We’ve had support from Funhogz, he’s given us stuff that people hasn’t sold up before.”

This year there will even be a guy who travels to ski swaps in the region bringing 400 items.

As for the ski patrol itself, Daigle said they are always interested in having qualified, interested people join up. The ski hill sets the required training standards for volunteer ski patrol members. In the first year Level 1 First Aid with a Transportation Endorsement is necessary. In the second year, people have to get a higher level course called Non-Urban Outdoor Emergency Care, which is a twoweek course for those who don’t have experience. If they do have experience then they can do a four day challenge.

The volunteer patrol works most weekends at the hill.

“We’re trying to provide one person per day on the weekdays now,” he said. “That’s kind of what the hill has been asking us for.”

Meals on Wheels questions Arne Pe tryshen Townsman Staff

Cranbrook Council directed the city’s Wellness and Heritage Committee to invite representatives from Interior Health to attend one of the committee’s meetings to address concerns surrounding the replacement of the Meals on Wheels service.

On October 15, Interior Health replaced the program with the centralized frozen Meals at Home service. The service is used by at least 20 members of the community.

Coun. Gerry Warner brought the resolution to council. Warner is on the committee, which need-

ed council’s support to approach IHA. “I fully support what Coun. Warner is proposing,” said Coun. Angus Davis.

In the resolution, the committee outlined their concerns. One concern was that the new frozen service won’t cater to those who don’t drive, as the meals need to be picked up at the Green Home. The Meals on Wheels program was delivered to the recipients door. This also allowed those who live on their own and who couldn’t get out to have regular social contact with someone.

The committee also expressed concern about

the meals themselves as they have to be heated up by the clients, some of whom are too frail to manage that. They also note that similar frozen meals could be purchased from commercial outlets for a lower price.

Mayor Wayne Stetski said that there were some menu items being removed as well.

The meals also don’t provide beverages or salads as the Meals on Wheels program did.

They also don’t address the dietary and allergy issues that some clients have.

What does it mean to be a Welcoming Community? For immigrants in Kimberley, it means access to a settlement services office. In the Kimberley Library there is help for a wide variety of immigrant issues from obtaining citizenship, to finding jobs and navigating government services.

It also means that immigrants have joined their neighbors and locals to participate in a number of activities and events in Kimberley designed to help them feel welcome. From learning to play Bocce in preparation for our local JulyFest, to joining other community members at Centre 64 to view the first of the season's local travelogue series "Have Camera ...

Iran Nuclear Deal: The Aftermath

W

hat will the Middle East look like after Iran and the great powers that are negotiating over Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons ambitions – the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) – sign a deal that ends the confrontation? It’s time to ask the question, because there is going to be a deal.

It didn’t get signed in Geneva last weekend, but it came close. The only foreign minister at the Geneva talks on Friday was Mohammad Javad Zarif of Iran, but progress was so rapid that by Saturday almost all the foreign ministers of the “P5+1” – American, British, French, German and Russian – dropped whatever they were doing and flew in for the grand finale. Only the Chinese foreign minister was absent.

The grand finale has been postponed.

There were just too many details to clear up in a single weekend, and a couple of sticking points that have yet to be resolved. But the date for the next meeting has already been set (20 November), and nobody went away angry. “We are all on the same wavelength,” said Zarif. “There is a deal on the table and it can be done,” said British Foreign Secretary William Hague.

There are “still some gaps” between Iran and some of the other countries present, Hague said, but “they are narrow gaps. You asked what went wrong. I would say that a great deal went right.”

Even French Foreign Minister Laurent

Fabius, the one who apparently dropped a last-minute spanner in the works, said that “we are not far from a agreement with the Iranians, although we are not there yet.”

One immediate consequence of the deal will be that Israel has to stop threatening to attack Iran. The threat was always 90 percent bluff – Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s own military chiefs would probably refuse to obey him if he ordered such Gwynne an attack without American support – but now it will be Dyer simply ridiculous. Which will swing the spotlight back to Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.

Iran’s economic isolation will also end, although it may take several years to unwind all the economic sanctions. The gradual return of prosperity in Iran will make the current Islamic regime more secure (which may be the main reason that the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, authorised newly elected President Hassan Rouhani to negotiate the nuclear deal and end the confrontation.)

But the big question is whether a nuclear deal with Iran will cool the rapidly intensifying Sunni-Shia conflict that threatens to suck in the whole of the Fertile Crescent and the Arabian Peninsula.

The answer, alas, is probably not.

The split is as incomprehensible to non-Muslims as the religious wars of Europe four centuries ago were to non-Christians, and mercifully Sunni-Shia hostility has never reached quite that intensity of violence and hatred. But

right across the Islamic world it has been getting worse for several decades now, and the eye of the storm is in the Middle East.

Iran is the sole Shia great power, so it is inevitably the focus of the fears of Sunni Arabs and the hopes of Shia Arabs.

Moreover, given Turkey’s semi-detached relationship with the region, Iran is in practical terms the greatest power in the entire Middle East.

For the past decade, Iran has been greatly weakened by the arms and trade embargoes that the West imposed because of the nuclear issue. Once those embargoes are removed Iran will regain much of its former strength. This is already causing great anxiety in the Sunni Arab countries, especially those that face it across the Gulf.

Even quite experienced people in Washington and other Western capitals don’t realise the extent to which the Sunni Arab countries of the Middle East thought that their close ties with the Western great powers gave them a kind of guarantee against Shia power –and how betrayed they feel now that they think that guarantee is being withdrawn.

Sunnis outnumber Shias almost tento-one in the Islamic world as a whole, but in the smaller world that stretches from Iran and Turkey to Palestine and Yemen, the “Middle East”, Shias make up more than a third of the population. The war is already hot and quite openly sectarian in Syria and in Iraq. In many other places (Lebanon, Bahrain, Yemen) it is bubbling just underneath the surface. It will get worse before it gets better.

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

Life on Council

When I was asked by the public, “How do you like council, Bev?” I would answer: “I really like it, love to represent my community, learning lots and we have a great team … the public did well in their voting … very balanced; strengths in many areas.

We don’t all agree with each other which makes it great for growth but we have some humour along the way.”

Now I am not sure if that would be my answer. Change and growth in leadership is necessary and with that comes passion, personal values and strong beliefs of what is best for this community. It is a good thing that we don’t always agree, but I feel it is important we work as a team.

It is how we disagree which is important for all of us, community included. I think debate and conflict is inevitable and healthy in council and in life. We all care about the big picture and the long term goals for this beautiful community we live in. It seems the disagreement is in how we get there.

It is natural to be at the stage we are at now. Tuckman’s stages of group development model, developed in 1965, are Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. These group stages are necessary and are inevitable in order for the team to grow and face challenges and tackle problems, find solutions, to plan

work and to deliver results.

Council meets with a structured agenda, which is necessary with time limits and legal issues. This format works but doesn’t leave a lot of time for us to communicate about issues, creative ideas and brainstorming, so it is done on the side … and alliances are formed. I do feel we are moving forward, we are working for you, we are not just warming the seats — we care about this community.

I have learned you will never please all the people all the time … because of personal passion, values and strong beliefs of what is best for this community. So the next time I am asked, “How is it going on council, Bev?” I might answer — “Never a dull moment and there are lots of passionate beliefs, but I think we are right on track with normal group dynamics and through practicing and learning better communication skills we might have healthy conflict resolution. We are moving forward with the goals chosen by this council and community to the best of our ability.”

Bev Middlebrook Kimberley City Councillor

Child care

ed day care of any kind for these reasons: We raised three kids through the ‘80s and ‘90s without any assistance whatsoever and if we needed any help to look after our kids, then we paid for it.

At that time, it was becoming the norm for both parents to work, but we chose to have a parent raise our own kids. We had to do without a lot of the toys our contemporaries were accummulating, but we were happy and our family is better off for it.

Raising the next generation is the most important and sacred job that anyone could possibly have and should not be farmed out to third parties. You are just encouraging and enabling a generation that has to have everything right now at the expense of our precious children.

We should not be demanding the “state” be responsible for raising our kids, like the Soviet Union did a generation ago.

If you can’t afford to look after your own kids properly, then it’s quite simple, don’t have any.

I ask that Cranbrook Council stick to what they were elected to do and that is look after the affairs of our great city and not stick their noses in matters that are the sole responsiblility of senior government(s).

Well, I see our Cranbrook council’s left wing views are showing once again.

I’m not in favour of any taxpayer fund-

Visions for Cranbrook’s downtown Derryll White

A

meeting hosted the evening of November 5 by the City of Cranbrook’s planning division drew approximately 50 people.

The topic was the future of the City-owned property between 10th and 11th Avenues, topped by Second Street South. The City properties include City Hall, the Fire Hall, the small brick electrical/waterworks building, the Studio/Stage Door and the RCMP building. Three parking lots and the small Pat Casey Park are also included.

Participants broke into five separate groups to discuss how the properties could be employed to renew Cranbrook’s downtown area.

They reported back to the whole group with recommendations.

There was a lot of lively discussion and some very worthwhile outcomes.

All participants viewed the Fire Hall building as the flagship property. It was recognized as the icon of Cranbrook’s past and future downtown. Most participants saw the building being utilized as a gallery/cultural

From that general agreement emerged that the small brick building could be utilized next year as a youth arts centre/artists’ studio, and perhaps a small café/ice cream outlet.

There was a lot of

excitement produced in trying to conceive of the whole area as having ongoing multi-purpose uses. Participants wanted to see cobblestoned areas, shade trees, kiosks and small art boutiques developed, along with an ex-

panded use in-season by the Cranbrook Farmers’ Market.

Everyone appeared to be in agreement with the need to bring more life into the downtown core. With a group from the Baker Hill Heritage Society already working

on the restoration of the brick water/electrical building, it was seen by many that this work could drive much of the change. A representative from this group stated that a combined enduse of a youth arts centre/small café could be instrumental in bringing the Cranbrook Arts Council into the Fire Hall.

“These actions could ignite a movement to bring the downtown alive all year long,” the participant said.

The meeting, taking place in the old restored brick Manual Training Centre, made many aware of the appeal the vestiges of historic Cranbrook has to the emerging and expanding City. The drawings of the brick building produced by Linsey Walker and Riley Jeffrey from Mount Baker Secondary School indicated the appeal the project can have to all ages of residents.

The City of Cranbrook and Mayor Stetski are to be commended on their will to bring citizens together to envision future growth. Everyone now awaits the report to Council from the City Planning Department.

Georges-St-Pierre looks to make UFC history with win over Johny Hendricks LAS VEGAS - It could be a record-breaking weekend for UFC welterweight champion Georges StPierre.

St-Pierre can make history against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 on Saturday night, becoming the first fighter to record 19 wins in the UFC. The Canadian champion is currently tied with UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes, whom he first beat for the title, at 18 victories.

GSP is also tied with former middleweight champion Anderson Silva for most wins in UFC title bouts at 11. And if the Hendricks fight lasts 40 seconds or longer, St-Pierre will surpass B.J. Penn’s record of five hours three minutes and 51 seconds for career fight time in the UFC The fight card also marks the 20th anniversary of the UFC, which kicked off Nov. 12, 1993, with UFC 1 in Denver.

St-Pierre made his UFC debut at UFC 46 in January 2004. He rolled with UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie at Wednesday’s public workouts.

“He is my idol,” St-Pierre said in French after.

Ice melt 3-0 against red-hot Broncos TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

Guest Speaker

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

The Ice couldn’t withstand the heat from the Broncos, melting 3-0 in Swift Current on Wednesday night mustering a grand total of 14 shots on goal in the process.

Jay Merkley, Graham Black and Coda Gordon scored for the Broncos, while Ice

goaltender Wyatt Hoflin made 31 saves in defeat.

“We had 14 shots on net so that sort of sums it up in a nutshell,” said Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson. “It was a very weak effort, a lot of guys going through the motions and that’s the bottom line. It wasn’t enough.”

Kootenay lost defenceman Rinat Valiev in a second period fight with Cavin Leth, as the two dropped the hits after the Ice defenceman laid out the Broncos centreman in a big hit.

Valiev was penalized two minutes for roughing, five minutes for fighting and a game misconduct, while Leth served a five min-

ute major for fighting.

In the aftermath, the officials whistled Valiev for a slew-foot, which initiated the ejection, according to Henderson.

Kootenay’s powerplay fizzled, even though it’s been on fire lately, going scoreless in four opportunities, while the penalty kill shut out the Broncos in five opportunities with the man-advantage.

Ice blueliner Jordan Steenbergen found himself back up in the forward department on the fourth line, while Jeff Hubic remained on defence.

The Broncos capitalized twice late in the first period for a twogoal lead. Merkley batted in an airborne

puck, while Black forced a turnover at the blue line on a Kootenay powerplay and scored on a shorthanded breakaway.

Black headed to the dressing room in the second period when he crashed into the boards on another breakaway, but made a return later in the game to help his team towards the win.

The two teams held each other to a draw in the second period— Kootenay with only three shots on net—but the Broncos padded their lead in the final frame on a goal from Gordon, who picked up a rebound off a rush into the zone.

With the win, Swift Current has now won nine games in a row,

halting Kootenay’s burgeoning streak at two.

“They sure looked good tonight, that’s for sure,” said Henderson, before moving the targeting sight back on his team. “A lot of perimeter play and not a lot of threats—taking pucks to the net. We deserved what we got and, obviously, with the 14 shots and no goals, that’s what you get when you put in a performance like that.”

The Ice will stay overnight in Swift Current and get in some practice on Thursday before heading to Prince Albert for their next game on Friday.

They’ll wrap up the road trip with a contest against the Blades in Saskatoon on Saturday.

Kershaw, Scherzer easily win Cy Young Awards Ben Walker Associated Press

NEW YORK - Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Max Scherzer of the Detroit Tigers breezed Wednesday to baseball’s Cy Young Awards.

Kershaw won the prize as the National League’s best pitcher for the second time in three seasons after posting a 1.83 ERA - lowest in the majors in 13 years.

“This is such a cool thing. I can’t even explain what it means to me,” Kershaw said in an interview on MLB Network.

“It really is a huge honour.”

The 25-year-old lefty with a big-breaking curve drew 29 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals was picked first on one ballot.

Kershaw went 16-9 and topped the NL with 232 strikeouts. He also won the Cy Young Award in 2011 and finished second last year to knucklebal-

ler R.A. Dickey.

Scherzer took the AL honour after leading the majors with 21 wins. He received 28 of 30 first-place votes.

The right-hander lost only three times and was the lone 20-game winner in baseball.

He ranked second in the majors with 240 strikeouts and was fifth in the AL with a 2.90 ERA. Scherzer smiled and raised both arms when the results were announced.

“It’s unbelievable. It just vindicates everything I’ve done,” he said, acknowledging all the run support he received from Detroit’s powerful lineup probably helped his candidacy.

“I’ve been working so hard all these years to get better and better,” he added. “I think I took a big step forward in 2013.”

Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers was second, marking the highest finish by a Japanese-born pitcher in Cy Young voting. Hisashi Iwakuma of the

Seattle Mariners came in third.

Wainwright went 19-9 for St. Louis and finished behind Kershaw. Miami right-hander Jose Fernandez, picked earlier this week as the NL Rookie of the Year, was third.

Kershaw’s win marked the record 11th time a Dodgers pitcher has won the Cy Young since the award was first presented in 1956. Sandy Koufax won three times, and the Hall of Fame lefty has developed a friendship with Kershaw.

Voting for the Cy Youngs was done before the playoffs began. Kershaw went 1-0 in two sharp starts against Atlanta in the division series, then lost twice to St. Louis in the NL championship. The Cardinals tagged him in a 9-0 romp in the clinching Game 6.

“We came up short. I didn’t pitch the way I should have in the last game,” he said.

Kershaw has been an AllStar the past three seasons and put up eye-popping statistics.

Now, he said, the only thing left for him to do is win the

World Series.

“I want that ring,” he said.

Wainwright, still looking for his first Cy Young Award, has been runner-up twice.

The 29-year-old Scherzer won his first 13 decisions of the season, made the All-Star team for the first time and started for the AL. He helped pitch the Tigers to their third straight AL Central title, joined in a deep rotation by Justin Verlander, the 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner, Anibal Sanchez and Doug Fister.

Scherzer went 16-7 last year, then added a curveball to an impressive repertoire that already included a hard fastball, slider and changeup.

He twice beat Oakland in the AL division series, then went 0-1 in two starts against Boston in the AL championship series - he was pulled both times with the Tigers ahead.

Scherzer is distinctive for more than just his record. His eyes are different colours, with the right blue and left brown.

Blue Bombers fire head coach Tim Burke

Struggling Sabres clean house, fire GM and coach Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres are turning to their past to help turn the struggling franchise around.

The NHL team has cleaned house by firing general manager Darcy Regier and head coach Ron Rolston, and bringing back former star Sabres forward Pat LaFontaine and former head coach Ted Nolan.

LaFontaine was named president of hockey operations Wednesday and Nolan will serve as interim head coach.

“We’ll compete, we’ll make it exciting and we’ll make it a place people want to come and enjoy hockey games again,” Nolan said at a news conference Wednesday morning.

The Sabres are off to a 4-15-1 start, the worst in franchise history.

Buffalo edged Los Ange-

daily townsman / daily bulletin

Judy Owen Canadian Press

les 3-2 in a shootout Tuesday night to avoid tying the worst home start in NHL history.

Rolston was 19-26-6 in his brief tenure as Buffalo coach. Regier had been the Sabres general manager since 1997.

Pegula stressed that the problems went beyond the performance of Regier, who had become the subject of “Fire Darcy” chants in Buffalo.

“He didn’t do what he did by himself,” Pegula said. “There was input from many people, prior owners, myself. Why now? I just decided and that’s the only answer I can give you.

We work together and sometimes you get to the point where a change was needed.”

The Sabres organization has plenty of familiarity with Nolan and LaFontaine.

WINNIPEG - Wade Miller has pressed the firing button again.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced Wednesday the firing of head coach Tim Burke, a move Miller said was made the day before after the “acting” tag was removed from his title of president and chief executive officer.

When Miller was put in the acting role in August, his first move was axing general manager Joe Mack.

Although Kyle Walters is the team’s acting GM, Miller explained why he let Burke go rather than wait for a GM to decide his fate.

“I believe that it was the right step for this organization,” he said at Wednesday’s press conference.

“Typically, a new general manager is going to want to hire his own person, and I believe now that we’ve set that path for a new general manager to be able to make his own determination of who his head coach should be.

“And also, that I didn’t feel it was appropriate to have Tim waiting for the next three or

four or five weeks in determining what his future was with the organization.”

Burke became Winnipeg’s interim head coach in August 2012 after Mack fired Paul LaPolice. He was given the job last November.

The Bombers finished with a league-worst 3-15 record this season, tying the club’s lowest mark in an 18-game season.

They were 7-21 under Burke’s leadership.

All the assistant coaches are on contracts that are up this year, Miller said, adding he’s open to Burke staying with the team because he’s got good character and has excelled as a defensive boss. Burke reportedly had a year left on his contract.

“I think that we’d be lucky as an organization to have Tim back as a defensive co-ordinator,” Miller said.

“I think that that’s a decision that the new head coach and general manager will make, but that is definitely something that Tim and I discussed.”

Burke is receptive to that and wants to meet the new head coach, said Miller, who’ll be involved in the interview

process with the GM. “I’ve really enjoyed my time in Winnipeg and am grateful for the opportunity this franchise gave me,” Burke said in a press release.

“The fan support in this city and province is just really remarkable and it is one of the greatest things I can take away from this experience in Winnipeg.”

Miller acknowledged Burke was in “an extremely tough spot when he took over.”

And it got worse this season.

Mack kept often-injured Buck Pierce as the team’s starting quarterback, and predictably Pierce was lost to injury early this season. His young backups didn’t flourish, Mack was fired and then Pierce was traded to B.C. in September.

Offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach Gary Crowton was fired after Mack and replaced by former Hamilton head coach Marcel Bellefeuille, who’d been added to the staff the week before as a consultant.

Miller didn’t view Winnipeg’s disastrous season as a negative to finding someone to replace Burke.

“I think you get an opportunity to come make a mark for yourself,” he said. “It’s not going to happen overnight, but the head coach and general manager are going to need to have a direction and a plan to get us to be competitive every week.”

The Bombers will have some competition searching for a head coach as there are also vacancies in Edmonton and Ottawa, while Montreal GM Jim Popp took over as the Alouettes’ head coach when Dan Hawkins was fired earlier this season.

Miller said the GM the team hires, which is two to four weeks in the offing, would have a list of candidates they’d want to pursue as a head coach.

Some names that have surfaced include Calgary offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson, Saskatchewan quarterbacks coach Khari Jones, B.C. offensive co-ordinator Jacques Chapdelaine and Toronto defensive co-ordinator/assistant head coach Chris Jones.

Dickenson is considered a desirable candidate, although it’s believed he doesn’t want to break his family and professional ties in Calgary.

All Canadian provinces and territories have dynamic labour markets and as such each provincial and local jurisdiction should determine which programs best meet their needs as hey relate to labour market development.

Their choice of programs should not be imited to specific secors, target pools of individuals, or delivery methods.

2

The need for a significant federal commitment to labour market enhancement is clear, so any new agreements must not reduce the amounts already committed to the existing inancial agreements with provinces and teritories or require them o match federal contributions in order to deiver new programs.

Also, there should be lexibility with respect o the various federal monies used to fund labour training and support programs (funds directed towards Labour Market Agreements and Labour Market Development Agreements).

3

Labour mobility is a key solution in addressng regional workforce supply/demand issues and must therefore be encouraged whenever possible.

5 Given the significant role of Canadian businesses in hiring and training workers, their needs, opinions, and recommendations are paramount in all programming and policy decisions related to training. We must be particularly concerned with the varied needs of

small businesses which often lack the time, human resource capacity, and financial resources to support employee training.

Mayor Rob Ford admits to buying illegal drugs C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — An increasingly isolated Rob Ford admitted for the first time on Wednesday to buying illegal drugs while in office as council voted overwhelmingly to have the mayor take a leave of absence.

The 37-5 motion, however, was non-binding, although its sponsor has said he would ask the province to step in if Ford failed to heed council’s wishes.

Just before the vote, Ford failed to introduce a motion that would have forced all councillors to undergo drug testing. The speaker ruled it out of order.

Earlier, a more defiant mayor repeated he would not resign or step aside to seek help as councillors grilled him on his eyebrow-raising acitivities.

“Have you purchased illegal drugs in the past two years?’’

Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong

Mayor Rob Ford speaks at city council in Toronto on Nov. 13, 2013. asked.

The rowdy council chamber fell silent for a few moments.

“Yes, I have,’’ Ford answered.

Outside city hall, hundreds of noisy protesters called on the mayor to resign and chanted “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Rob Ford has got to go!’’

The mayor also said he had declined to talk to police, who have said they have no grounds to charge the mayor, on the advice of his lawyer.

Also Wednesday, organizers of Toronto’s Santa Claus parade urged the mayor to reconsider his decision to lead the parade.

Chicago seeks woman who may have left alligator at airport ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Authorities have released a series of images of a woman they believe discarded a small, sickly alligator at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport earlier this month.

Security footage shows the woman boarding a Chicago Transit Authority Blue Line train on Nov. 1, carrying the reptile under her arm. She’s seen chatting on the phone with the critter in her hand and on her knee before she leaves the train at O’Hare an hour later.

She’s later spotted boarding a train near the airport without the alligator.

The two-foot-long alligator was captured hours later after a maintenance worker found it under an escalator at Terminal 3.

Nicknamed “Allie’’ by a local rescue group, the reptile is being rehabilitated by volunteers at the Chicago Herpetalogical Society.

Vancouver cabbie’s honesty beats 10,000 reasons to stay silent C ANADIAN PRESS

2013 / 2014

Wednesday 10:15 - 11:45 am Parent and Tot

daily bulletin

VANCOUVER — It could have been a $10,000 tip, but a Vancouver cab driver is being praised for reuniting a forgetful fare with a very precious package.

Cabbie Sarjinder Singh knew exactly what to do when a passenger handed over an envelope that had been lying on the seat of Singh’s cab and Singh realized it

was stuffed with a wad of bills.

He was certain the money belonged to a passenger he had just dropped at another Vancouver address, so he returned to that building and tracked the man down.

Singh says the man was overjoyed and offered him a $1,000 reward, which the cabbie refused, insisting he was

only doing his job.

He adds his colleagues are honest, hardworking and family-oriented, and just want a little more appreciation.

Although he’s not any richer, Singh is basking in the praise from his boss, who says cab drivers don’t get enough recognition for the positive things they do.

Small dog injured while defending Edmonton woman C ANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — A small dog is expected to survive after it was chopped and slashed while trying to put a big bite on some machete-wielding home invaders in Edmonton.

Police say four peo-

ple forced their way into the northeast home Tuesday evening, slightly injuring a woman in her 30s with the big knife.

Her dog, described as a pitbull-type canine, then sprang at the intruders but was badly

wounded by the machete.

The dog attack was still enough to frighten the invaders out of the home.

The pet was rushed to an emergency veterinary clinic for surgery.

Relics believed to be those of St. Peter to be displayed at the Vatican ASSOCIATED PRESS

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican says that relics believed to be those of St. Peter, the first pope, will be put on public display in a ceremony later this month.

Archbishop Rino Fisichella said Wednesday that the ceremony

on Nov. 24 will mark the end of the church’s “Year of the Faith’’ activities and be the first time the relics have been shown to the public.

Fisichella, a Vatican official, said Pope Francis will celebrate Mass that day at the Vatican.

Fisichella said in the

official Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano that “tradition recognizes’’ the relics are those of the martyred Peter.

The relics were found in a necropolis excavated in the mid-20th century under St. Peter’s Basilica.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You see a situation differently from how others see it. What has been hazy could become crystal clear through others’ actions. Express your concern in a way that it can be received. Opportunities might emerge from a real-estate matter. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could be more aware of what a friendship offers you as opposed to your idealistic dreams. Reality can be harsh at first. You will want to take your time integrating your feelings.

Don’t take action or make a decision until you have adjusted.

Tonight: Get some R and R. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Aim for more of what you would want, and treat it as though others are not actively making requests of you. A boss or parent could reveal a new side of him- or herself that you need to acknowledge. Others might not be as clear as you would like.

Tonight: Out and about.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You are in a position to take action, but a question remains unresolved in your mind. Think about what you want. Make decisions only when you have all the facts at hand. You don’t need to make an error. Tonight: Get extra work done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll see a partner in a new light. You might feel as if a veil has been dropped, and you can see the real person now. As you digest all this newness, you might experience quite a few feelings. You actually do like what you see; you simply need to adjust. Tonight: Out on the town.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal with others directly, and understand that you could get several mixed messages. You will gain insight into a particular group of friends involved in a common interest. Opportunities abound. Follow the advice of a trusted friend. Tonight: Go for togetherness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others appear to be very strong-

Tundra

willed, no matter what your choices are. If you could change the direction of a situation, where would you go? You might be pleasantly surprised if you share your thoughts. Others will join in on your ideas. Tonight: Be with your best friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be experiencing a reversal with a child or loved one.

What you are seeing is that your perception of what might be going on is very different from reality. Take it all in, but get busy in order to prevent any obsessive behavior from happening. Tonight: Get errands done first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Listen to news with an open mind. Someone close to you might have a skeleton in his or her closet. You recently might have seen some signs of this well-kept secret. You will want to understand more of what is going on. Stay open. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Note if your sixth sense is improving. If so, you might want to be more willing to follow your

intuition. You will see excellent results, as you often pick up on what is happening around you on a subconscious level. Tonight: Make weekend plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stopping you could be difficult, as you are on mission. You have a lot on your plate and a desire to complete as much as possible. A discussion might not mesh well with what you are feeling. Do little and observe a lot. Tonight: Hang out with friends and loved ones.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You see an item that you really want. You might have difficulty saying “no.” As you look at your budget, you could question the value of making the purchase.

Make sure that you really want this thing. Confusion surrounds your finances. Tonight: Your treat.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am madly in love with my ex-fiancee. We have been separated since March but have been talking about getting back together and starting a family.

The problem is, while we were separated, I slept with another woman. It happened at a weak point in my life, and I don’t plan to do it again. Now the other woman says she is pregnant. I have asked for proof, but she hasn’t provided any. We did use a condom, but it broke.

Should I tell my almost-fiancee or wait until I have physical proof? I know if I tell her, she will be immensely hurt and may never want to see me again. I don’t want to lose the love of my life and my best friend over this.

Please help me. -- On a Break Dear Break: It is always a bad idea to begin a relationship with dishonesty. Word is likely to get back to your fiancee, so you must tell her first. Don’t make excuses for your behavior. Take responsibility, tell her you are deeply sorry, and ask for forgiveness. Say that you understand she is disappointed and hurt, and that you will give her as much time as she needs to think about your future together. We hope she decides to give you another chance, and that you will be worthy of her trust.

Dear Annie: I have been disabled for several years. I have a hip problem and arthritis in both legs, so I need to use the handicapped toilet stall because of its higher seat and room for mobility. I use a cane to get around, so it’s obvious I have a hard time walking.

There are times when I need a wheelchair.

You would think that Jill Q. Public would be courteous, and in most cases, they are.

However, I have encountered women who let children play in the handicapped stall for a half-hour and, once, a young woman who specifically wanted that stall even though there were others available. I even have been shoved aside because of the race to get in. Just because I move slower doesn’t mean my need isn’t as urgent.

Please, ladies, life is challenging enough without this kind of rudeness. Consider how you would want to be treated if you were in my shoes. -- Vermont Reader Dear Vermont: We cannot understand how anyone would deny the use of a handicapped stall to someone who requires it.

Please don’t be reluctant to speak up if someone grabs that stall while you are waiting. Here’s the rule: The handicapped stall may be used by an able-bodied person provided no one needs it, no other stall is available and you will be quick. When you can wait for a regular stall, please do so.

Dear Annie: I have a response for “Waiting for Your Answer,” who complained that every time he went to the bank, the greeter at the door and the tellers made small talk with the customers. He said it took up too much time. Apparently, he’s never worked with the public.

I work in a bank. My employers have told us to be friendly to the customers. If it’s a regular customer, we might ask about the family or their job. To me, that is simply personalized service. I prefer to do business where someone will acknowledge me rather than ignore me.

If “Waiting” doesn’t want to be spoken to, he has three options: One, ignore their friendly questions. Two, complain to the person in charge. Three, take his business elsewhere, where they move people through like robots on a conveyer belt. “Waiting” needs to learn to stop and smell the roses -or start earlier. -- Glad To Be a Friendly Customer Service Rep Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

Verna Martha Bregeda (nee McNeal) 1944 - 2013

Our dearest Marie, lovingly remembered and cherished in our hearts forever, passed away peacefully at Ivy House in Invermere BC, Thursday, November 7, 2013.

Verna Bregeda was born May 5, 1944. She passed away on Sunday, November 10, 2013.

Marie was born on March 24, 1930 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She loved her family, friends and pets unconditionally. Marie enjoyed music, dancing, gardening, and was an expert seamstress. Marie and her husband Bud volunteered for many years at the Rocky Mountain Lodge. She sang in the Anglican Church choir for many years, and volunteered at the Cranbrook Thrift Shop. Marie was a member of Toastmasters, and was one of the founding members of the Cranbrook Business and Professional Women’s Club, along with her good friends Wilma Carry and Shirley White. She put on many elaborate Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter dinners for her family. Her suitcase could be packed within a minute’s notice if she thought she was going on a trip. She loved to travel. Marie had several interesting careers including a seamstress at Colleen’s Dress Shop, a dental assistant for Dr. Frank Fergie, a secretary for lawyer Allan Graham, a regional health administrator at the Cranbrook Health Unit, and a school secretary with Muriel Baxter School.

Marie is survived by her beloved son Mike (Jill), grandchildren Helen, James, and Jonathan, sister Alma, best friend and niece Janet Bailey (Dave), several other special cousins, nieces and nephews, and her cat Pumpkin. She was predeceased by her parents Mary Catherine and Joseph Laughlin, her husband Brydon “Bud”, her sister Blanche, and her brothers Hartford, Floyd, and Joe. Many special thanks to the staff at Ivy House, Lois and Art Gruenig, the residents at Mountain Meadows, Shelly Sullivan, Home Support, and Denise Shypitka for the special care they gave to Mom. A funeral service will be held on Friday, November 15, 1:30 pm, at Christ Church Anglican in Cranbrook BC. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.

Arrangements entrusted to McPherson Funeral Service.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

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 – 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 AOL’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: “Where I prefer to find our about new products,” “Where I prefer to receive information about companies,” and “Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.” At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Black bear makes surprise entry into Fernie home Tamar a Hynd Fernie Free Press

A husband and wife were sitting in the living room of their home on Vanlerberg Road south east of Fernie. They were watching television on Monday evening about 6 p.m. when they heard a big bang that sounded like a bomb went off in the lower level of their house. The couple then observed a black bear coming up the stairs from the lower level of their home.

The husband told his wife to grab their two dogs and lock herself in the bedroom.

When the bear saw the people, it ran back down the stairs to the lower level.

The husband realized his firearm was in the basement where the bear was. He left the house to find a neighbour to help and the Conservation Officer Service was called.

When CO Joe Caravetta arrived, the bear had left the house through the same 3 by 4 foot broken window it had entered.

Upon investigation, the prints in the snow showed that a dog was chasing the bear when it smashed through the window.

“The bear was in full flight when it hit the double pane glass window. There was jagged glass everywhere throughout the room,” said Caravetta. “A human would have suffered cuts going through that same window.”

No blood was found in the snow and the bear had left the area.

“We don’t see this bear as a public safety threat as it was not aggressive,” said Caravetta.

“It was obvious the bear was being chased by a dog. In 25 years, I have never seen a bear run full flight through a window.”

The bear’s tracks also indicated it was young.

“Most black bears are hibernating. However, there are always exceptions. Due to poor fat reserves, some bears are still looking for additional food sources.”

If you do see wildlife, COS asks that you call 1-877-952-RAPP (7277).

Surrey passes Kaslo given date for ER hour reduction anti-tethering law Kirsten Hildebr and Nelson Star

Ke vin Diakiw Surrey North Delta Leader

Surrey has passed a bylaw outlawing the tethering of dogs for long periods of time.

On Tuesday, Surrey council gave early approval to the bylaw, which prohibits the tying of dogs for more than four hours in total on any given day.

While it’s unclear

how city bylaw officers are going to clock how long a dog has been tethered, Coun. Barinder Rasode said the important part is the message it will send to people who might mistreat their animals.

“Us moving forward with this bylaw is a real indication that treating dogs humanely is a priority for the City of Surrey,” Rasode said.

Deer in suburban Victoria now destined for death C ANADIAN PRESS

OAK BAY, B.C. — Some blacktail deer in suburban Victoria are now foraging with a target on their backs.

Councillors in the District of Oak Bay have approved a cull as part of a deer management project.

Blacktail deer, which are smaller than their mule deer cousins,

roam primarily at dawn and dusk and are often hit by unwary drivers, which Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen says poses a deadly risk to humans and deer, alike.

He says the district will now try to get an accurate count of the deer in the area, and culling will be one part of the plan to reduce those numbers.

At a village council meeting Tuesday evening, Kaslo was told the date at which their 24/7 ER coverage would end at the Victorian Community Health Centre.

Ambulance Service to ensure residents have timely access to high level care using skilled paramedics (both on the ground and in the air), and Interior Health’s High Acuity Response Team (HART) based in Trail. The HART team provides a level of care similar to that available in hospital intensive care units.

Interior Health now plans to focus on recruiting a physician for primary care, “physicians who are committed to Kaslo, physicians who are interested in providing consistent services to meet the majority of residents’ health-care

needs during the busiest hours of the week,” they said in a release.

Kaslo currently has .5 FTE physicians as opposed to the 2 FTE positions needed leaving primary care.

Winters said Kaslo isn’t giving up on seeing ER services restored when the “health care team is stabilized.”

“This is not the end of it,” she said. “We see this as a bump in the road. We need to keep moving forward and keep the dialogue open with Interior Health in hopes we can eventually ramp up the services.”
