CHAD ST. PIERRE PHOTO
STAR TRAILS AND AURORA BOREALIS: Cranbrook photographer Chad St. Pierre travelled to Fernie late Saturday night to meet up with fellow photographers at Hosmer, just outside of Fernie. As St. Pierre reports: “It took us a few tries to finally find a good location. With -33 degree weather, you don’t realize what kind of challenge it is to photograph for over an hour in conditions like this. Typically battery life lasts me a full day’s worth of shooting, but in these conditions I was only able to get an hours worth. An hour later, 112 frames snapped, numb fingers and a gimped tripod whos legs froze solid I was able to capture my very first star trail image. On the bottom right side you can see the Aurora Borealis common in high latitudes.
Get your votes in for the next great hockey song ARNE PETRYSHEN AND CAROLYN GRANT
Two local music groups have submitted their songs into a cross-Canada contest to find the next great hockey song. Both the Bison Broth-
ers, featuring Tim Ross from Wycliffe, and The Pursuits, featuring the Armstong family from Kimberley, put in entries for the CBC Music and Hockey Night in Canada contest.
“ I want to know more about mutual funds.”
Ross said he received a note the other day saying his entry, If Yer Playin’ Hockey, was a couple hundred votes out of the top 50, out of the thousand songs submitted. He said even being in the top
group is an honour. “The neatest thing is, even if I don’t make this fairly high cut, it’s been really an honour how many people have let me know they listened to the song and voted for me.”
Ross plays old timers hockey and said the guys there have been really supportive, as well as people in the music community. “If nothing else that’s a real honour,” he said.
Ross said he had the song from years ago. It’s about a day in the life of an old timer or B-league hockey player going to play the game.
