Kimberley business environment ‘fair’ to ‘good’ Chamber survey shows optimism on Kimberley’s business climate C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

It has involved months of work conducting interviews and compiling results, but the Kimb e r l e y Chamber of Commerce has completed, and presented to Council, the results of their 2013-2014 Survey

of Kimberley Business.

The survey involved 52 interviews with Kimberley business owners, which took place beginning last August until January of this year. Results were inputted into a Rural Development Institute-designed eco-

nomic development software for analysis.

A large forest fire is raging near Whiteswan Lake, southeast of Canal Flats.

The 150-hectare Whitetail Brook fire was sparked by lightning during last week’s storm, but wasn’t detected until Sunday afternoon, July 27.

The airwaves of Cranbrook/Kimberley will soon be a richer, busier place, with the addition of a new radio station.

On Tuesday, July 29, the Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunica-

tions Commission (CRTC) approved the application by Clear Sky Radio for a new FM radio station for Cranbrook.

The station will be known as “Summit

107,” will have repeater FM frequencies in Fernie, Sparwood and Invermere.

The music format will be “Adult Contemporary” and the station will feature significant local news and community information.

“We are thrilled that the CRTC continues to believe in our goal of bringing exciting, innovative and creative radio stations with a focus on community service to markets in which we apply” said Paul Larsen, President of Clear Sky Radio.

Charity car show revved up This past weekend, the Brothers Insurance Charity Car show brought out East Kootenay auto enthusiasts. Photos and story by Arne Petryshen

C

ranbrook was alive with the roar of muscle cars, dragsters and sports cars brought out to take part in the second annual Brothers Insurance Charity Car Show. This year the show was held in the Western Financial Place parking lot and the weather was a hot, sunny day. The lot was packed with cars from the early 20th century right up to this year’s brand new models. There was also a number of booths set up with representatives from various dealerships around town.

This year, money raised benefits the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club and the local community.

The amount raised hadn’t yet been tallied as of press time.

Ari Kupritz, from Brothers Insurance, said there were around 180 vehicles in the show and shine.

“We had a great turnout, vendors were awesome, we had a bigger presence from the dealers this year,” Kupritz said.

On Saturday, there was a special drive-in movie night, with a screening of the film Need for Speed. Everyone could bring their

vehicle to Moir park and relive the old days of a night at the movies the old-fashioned way.

“We raised some good money there, the parking lot was almost full. It was great,” Kupritz said, adding that they are always open to suggestions about what people want to see for the movie when it comes around again next year.

On Sunday, the Show and Shine brought hundreds of people out to the event at the recplex parking lot.

There was an assortment of vehicles including lowrider trucks with chromed deep-dish rims, a full on drag racer that was trucked to the event and of course custom hot rods with big V8s.

There were also custom motorcycles, cafe racers and super bikes on display.

From 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. those in attendance could fill out a voting card with their top picks for categories such best sports car, best import and best custom. Then at around 3 p.m. prize plaques and trophies were handed out for the best of show and other awards.

Kupritz said they will definitely be holding the event again next year.

“We’ll try to find something cool to spruce it up,” he said.

For instance, he noted that this year they had the CAWTE Motorsports pro-mod drag car owned by Optimistic Enterprises.

“They fired it up all right, I think half the town probably heard it,” he said. “It’s a serious car.”

The pro-mod drag car runs the quarter mile in under six seconds.

There was also Mad Max GoCarts set up off to the side as well.

He said they are open to suggestions for all aspects of the events.

“If some people didn’t like the trophy classes, or they want to see other ones added, they are welcome to give suggestions,” he said, adding that they are hoping to hear overall suggestions on the event.

If you have comments or suggestions, you can call 250-4890886 or stop in at Brothers Insurance in Cranbrook at 1317 Cranbrook St N.

Kimberley and Cranbrook

Survey shows optimism From Page 1 Businesses from all over Kimberley, not just the downtown area, were interviewed.

The overall results suggest that the business environment in Kimberley is positive and improving, although there are challenges, many of which can be addressed through City and Chamber activities.

The survey found that the majority think the business climate in Kimberley is either fair (47.5%) or good (30%).

The numbers indicate a positive environment, says Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery.

“The reality is we have pretty steady growth in the business community,” he said. “Of the businesses surveyed most fall in the one to ten per cent growth rate. But we had several where you see really high growth and only one in 52 declined. I think that’s very positive.

“Sure there’s lots of room for continued growth but these numbers will stand by themselves. This is the information, given to us by the businesses.”

There were positives to

be found even in businesses where an ownership changes was anticipated in the next 10 years.

Eight of those businesses projected growth from 1 to 9 per cent, three project 10 to 24 per cent growth and three 25 to 49 per cent growth.

“This suggests that Kimberley has good investment prospects and that change in ownership is not necessarily due to lack of sales. This is consistent with the reality of an aging population in which long-standing entrepreneurs have the desire to do other things in life,” the survey reports.

Another positive — half of the businesses surveyed intend to expand sometime in the next 10 years. And two-thirds of those surveyed believe the business climate will improve in the next five years, with tourism leading the way as the primary industry affecting Kimberley.

But despite a generally positive outlook, there are constraints to business growth. The two major problems are obtaining both skilled staff and financial assistance. Rising energy costs are also a

concern.

The report outlines ways in which these problems can be addressed.

“We can see constraints,” Guarnery said.

“One of the ways for the Chamber to assist is to let business owners know that there are avenues available for employment training, for accessing capital and financing, and accessing new markets.”

For trained staff, it is suggested that the Chamber continue the Ambassador program to develop employees with more knowledge of Kimberley.

There are also many other training opportunities such as those accessed through the Columbia Basin Trust, programs like Micro Business Training, Community Futures East Kootenay, Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy and more. The Chamber can also assist in bringing local businesses more awareness of business financing programs through local banks, credit unions and community futures.

The Chamber would like to follow up this survey with more interviews with the businesses surveyed, and in three years

follow up again to see if and how the constraints have been addressed.

But most importantly, the Chamber wants to correct the impression that Kimberley doesn’t have viable business environment.

“The value of this survey is to extinguish the perception that Kimberley is not a good place for investment when in fact it’s very good. The current

perception of a negative business environment is now compromised because we have the data to prove otherwise.”

All data collected is strictly confidential, with details only available to Guarnery, Kevin Wilson from the City of Kimberley Economic Development department and the Rural Development Institute.

Fort Steele summer production The Almost Shooting of Charlie Runner BARRY COULTER

Accompanying the playwright — who’s seeing the production of his play for the first time — to Fort Steele is an interesting experience. One would be constantly watching his reaction, except one gets distracted by the vaudevillian romp taking place on stage at the Wildhorse Theatre.

“The Almost Shooting of Charlie Runner” is Fort Steele Heritage Town’s summer production. It was written

by Drew McGowan of Cranbrook, and is part of a four-part play series based on extensive research of the history of Fisherville and the characters who inhabited that gold rush town, which was located near Fort Steele in the last years of the 19th century. The original concept, McGowan said, was to have two plays running one week, and the other two running the next week in an alternating cycle. However, budget concerns ultimately

meant that only the first play was chosen for performance over the summer season.

“Charlie Runner,” directed by Elizabeth Adler, is a comedy with vaudevillian touches, as befits the setting. It’s plot centres around a poker game at Fort Steele — suddenly a legal activity — between the tunnelling, imbecilic Charlie Runner and the thoroughly evil Big Bad Billy. Also involved are the gunslinging frontier woman Shirley Shirlton and the southern belle personality of Samantha, who also functions as hostess to all and sundry. The game, of course, goes totally sideways, and chaos ensures, to the delight of the audience.

The play is family friendly, with something for everybody — quick repartee, double entendres, a few “stealth jokes” for the adults, and plenty of opportunity for audience participation, thanks to outré performances by the cast.

McGowan explained that “The Almost Shooting of Charlie Runner” is based on a true story of a poker game, which

“Fisherville had freedom bordering on

lawlessness,” McGowen said. “A certain Charlie Weller was involved, and ‘Bullet Powder’

Whiteswan fire largest in area From Page 1 It quickly grew in size, and is now being fought by 40 firefighters from the Southeast Fire Centre, as well as three water tenders, three bulldozers, 1 excavator, 3 medium helicopters with buckets, and one light helicopter for administrative use.

It’s the largest fire currently on the radar in the Southeast fire zone.

“So far, access to the hot springs (Lussier Hot Springs) and the park (Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park) is not closed off, but there is security blocking access to some back roads and they might close more if the need arises,” said Fanny Bernard, fire information officer with the Southeast Fire Centre.

A 150-hectare fire is burning north of Whiteswan Forest Service Road. Access to the hot springs and lake is open for now, but some back roads in the area have been closed. the fire’s behaviour, Bernard went on, so officials are asking the public to be very careful not to cause any further fires.

“We need our crews to be able to respond to any naturally occurring wildfires, so we really

rely on the public to be extra vigilant with their campfires, and also to report any suspected wildfire or unattended campfire,” said Bernard.

She reminded people that campfires are permitted, but can be no larger than a

half-metre by a half-metre.

“You are required to have at least eight litres of water on hand or a hand tool such as a shovel to make sure the campfire is completely out before you leave the area,” said Bernard.

“Completely out means the ashes should be cool to the touch.”

You can report wildfires and unattended campfires at 1-800-6635555 or *5555 on most cellular networks.

Anti-mussel offensive starts in the East Kootenay this weekend ARNE PETRYSHEN Townsman Staff

This weekend, a pilot program with a mandate to stop invasive species from invading our waterways and ecosystems will be launching in the region.

The East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council (EKIPC) is teaming up with Conservation Officers to educate the public about the threat of invasive species.

“Over the long weekend, we will be covering border crossings, boat launches, and lakes in the area to ensure widespread message distribution,” said Todd Larson, program manager with the EKIPC. Larson said the Aquatic Invasive Species are a major threat to the waterways of our region and the province.

“Fortunately, we have been spared from the introduction of major invasive species such as zebra mussels, Asian carps and flowering rush plants, which have had a negative impact on native ecosystems and socio-economics,” he said. “It is important to prevent these species from becoming established in our lakes and

streams.”

Recent provincial legislation has made it illegal to transport certain species.

Larson said by collaborating with the COs, EKIPC will work to educate the boating public about these risks. They also will have the authority to inspect and decontaminate any watercraft that are carrying those invasive species.

EKIPC has a mobile boat decontamination station which they can transport to sites with contaminated boats.

Over the long weekend, EKIPC and COs will be inspecting boats coming across the Roosville and Kingsgate border crossings, as well as Moyie Lake, Kikomin Lake, Cutts Lake, Moyie Lake, Tie Lake, Rosen Lake, Koocanusa and others.

Larson said the initiative is the first of its kind in B.C. but has been established in the U.S. and other places in Canada.

“Neighbouring states and provinces have established mandatory boat inspection stations along highways and it is necessary to maintain this protective buffer to ensure contaminated watercraft do not launch on our pristine waterways,” he said.

Boats coming from the southern U.S. into Washington, Idaho, Montana, Dakota and Utah face mandatory screenings for mussels and other invasive species. However, if a boat is not stopping in the state, it may not have to face an inspection before entering Canada.

In Alberta, the U.S. has been notifying authorities when a boat could be contaminated. Alberta agencies have been stopping and inspecting the boats.

Those five states are the last vestiges where the mussels have not been found. They have invaded the Great Lakes and Lake Winnipeg and seem to be encroaching on the bottom of boats from both the East and the South.

Cultures of Cranbrook Cranbrook Multicultural Festival on August 16 SALLY MACDONALD Townsman Staff

An upcoming festival in Cranbrook will give you the chance to experience the cultures of the world without stepping foot on an airplane.

The first Cranbrook Multicultural Festival, a free family event, will be held on Saturday, August 16 in Rotary Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“It’s like experiencing a foreign culture without travelling,” explained organizer Coco Seitz.

There will be 12 cultures represented at the festival: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian, Filipino, Italian, Dutch, South African, Vietnamese, Ktunaxa, Metis and Canadian.

“We are going to celebrate our diversity through three main areas of our cultures,” said Seitz.

Those three areas are live entertainment, food, and cultural booths.

At the cultural booths, Seitz said, “visi-

tors can expect to see arts, artifacts, pictures, and an overall introduction of the culture.

“Also, we will have cultural representatives stationed in the booth to introduce their booth and answer any questions and have a conversation about their culture.”

Those representatives will wear outfits significant to their culture.

What’s more, festivalgoers can buy traditional food for that culture.

“It’s homemade, real authentic food,” explained Seitz.

And each culture will perform a traditional dance or music from their country.

Between acts, national anthems from each country will play.

“This year, we only have 12 cultures, but that doesn’t represent all of the multiculturalism here in Cranbrook,” said Seitz.

“We call for more cultural groups to step forward if they are interested. We have the cultural coordinator package ready to go. As long as they are willing to put in some time and work, we can fit more in.”

Fort Steele’s summer production From Page 4 One night, at a poker game, they accused each other of cheating, and the town was subsequently burned down in an ensuing gang war.

“There’s been so much stuff like that,” McGowan added.

“Fisherville ha been torn down and built up again so many times.”

McGowan said the hardest part of the process was designing the play for an interactive audience — taking that colourful history and making it more appropriate for a family audience.

“You’re basically writing one side of a conversation, not knowing what the other side is,” McGowan said. “You can write, ‘say this to the audience,’ but you

can’t write what the audience is saying back.

“That’s what the tricky part is.

You don’t want it to turn into a screaming fest, you don’t want it to go off the rails, but you have to have faith in the audience.”

McGowan said the original concept — a four-play cycle using material from the local archives, was Trevor Lundy’s, the former Fort Steele Theatrical Director. “His idea was to bring Fort Steele to the locals using all local talent.”

McGowan, who has directed his own scripts for the stage, gave up complete control of this script to Adler, the director, and the cast.

“The most rewarding part of of the whole process was what

they brought to it,” he said. “I was really inspired with what Liz and the actors did with it. After seeing it, I wish I’d put even more opportunity for audience participation.”

“The Almost Shooting of Charlie Runner” runs at the Wildhorse Theatre at Fort Steele Heritage Town everyday at 1 p.m.

Until the end of August. There are two different casts of four, which alternate performances.

On this particular occasion, the performance featured Tessa Charlton (Samantha), Jade Duchscherer (Shirley Shirlton), Michael Carr (Big Bad Billy) and Carter Gulseth (Charlie Runner).

Emily Bohmer, Zak Higgins, Kaitlin Delorme-Van Delft and Zoe Dupley make up the other cast.

A little context on the Gaza War You can see why Hamas doesn’t want a cease-fire in Gaza yet. It is continuing the fight in the hope that international outrage at the huge loss of people being killed by Israel’s massive firepower will somehow, eventually, force Israel to give it what it wants.

Hamas would be quite willing to give up firing its pathetic rockets — which have so far killed a grand total of three civilians in Israel — if Israel ends its seven-year blockade of the Gaza Strip. Dream on.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s goal is harder to define. Domestic political pressure to “do something” about those pesky rockets pushed him into this war, but now he must produce some kind of success in order to justify all those deaths: around 1,150 Palestinians and more than fifty Israelis already.

But what kind of success could it be? He cannot destroy all the rockets — Hamas shows no sign of running out of them — and even if he could Hamas would just manufacture more of them later unless he physically re-occupied the whole Gaza Strip. In recent days, therefore, Netanyahu has redefined the objective as destroying all the “terror tunnels” that Hamas has dug to infiltrate its fighters into nearby areas of Israel.

This makes no sense at all. In order to protect the lives of a few hypothetical Israeli soldiers who might be killed in the future by Hamas fighters using the tunnels, over forty real Israeli soldiers have already died. Besides, Israel can’t stop Hamas from digging more tunnels after the shooting stops unless it can find a way to ban picks and shovels in the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu needs a victory of some sort before he accepts a cease-fire, but he cannot even define what it would be. So, as he

said on Monday, “We should prepare ourselves for an extended campaign.” Meanwhile, the slaughter of Palestinians continues, and sympathy for Israel shrivels even in the United States.

It’s not that the Israeli army particularly wants to kill civilians (although it is sometimes very sloppy), but it does prefer to fight a stand-off war with artillery and missiles in order to spare the lives of its own soldiers. In the crowded Gaza Strip, that Gwynne inevitably means killing lots of civilians.

Dyer The 1.8 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are living at the same population density as the residents of London or Tokyo: around 5,000 people per square kilometre. You cannot use high explosives in this environment without killing a great many innocent civilians, and Netanyahu knew that from the start, because this is Israel’s third war in Gaza in six years.So the Israelis are being brutal and stupid, and the Hamas leaders are being brutal and cynical.

(Hamas doesn’t really use civilians as “human shields”, as Israeli claims, but its leaders know that Palestinian civilians killed by Israeli fire provide them with a kind of political capital.) But this is not to say that the two sides are equally to blame for the killing. There is a broader context.

Before 1948, only about 60,000 people lived on the land now known as the Gaza Strip. The vast majority of those who live there now are Arab refugees, or the children, grand-children and great-grandchildren of Arab refugees, who fled or were driven out of what is now Israel during the 1948 war. They are not there by choice.

Israel has traditionally insisted that the refugees freely chose to flee, although revisionist Israeli historians have debunked that story pretty thoroughly. But which

story you believe doesn’t really matter.

Fleeing your home in time of war does not deprive you of the right to go home when the fighting ends. Yet the Palestinians have not been allowed to go home, and Israel is adamant that they never will be.

The argument of 1948 still applies: for Israel to remain a state with a large Jewish majority, the Palestinian refugees and their descendants must remain outside it. So most of them are jammed into this narrow strip of territory on the Mediterranean coast – and latterly they have even grown poorer (unemployment is now 40 percent) because they now live under a permanent Israeli blockade.

Israel imposed the blockade after they voted for Hamas, a radical Islamist party that refuses to recognise the legitimacy of Israel, in the 2006 election. Yes, they are more radical than the Palestinians of the West Bank, most of whom are not refugees.

But there is no going back, and even in the Gaza Strip most Palestinians know it.

The ancestral lands of the Palestinians in what is now Israel are lost as permanently as those of the American Indians.

The “peace” everybody talks about is really just about giving them security of tenure and real self-government in the one-fifth of former Palestine that they still occupy.

Unfortunately, that is not even visible on the horizon.

When Netanyahu is addressing American audiences, he gives lip-service to a “two-state solution” that includes an independent, demilitarised Palestinian mini-state, but everybody in Israel knows that he is really determined to avoid it. Israel is therefore effectively committed to penning in and controlling the Palestinians forever.

When their objections to this situation get too violent, they have to be disciplined.

That is what is happening now. Just like 2009 and 2012.

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL

Swimmer Ryan Cochrane wins second gold medal at Commonwealth Games GLASGOW - Canadian swimmer Ryan Cochrane has won the men’s 1,500-metre freestyle for his second gold medal at the Commonwealth Games.

The Victoria native raced to a time of 14 minutes 44.03 seconds and was never threatened in the final.

Australia’s Mack Horton was second in 14:48.76, while Daniel Jervis of Wales was third in 14:55.33.

Cochrane also won the men’s 400-metre freestyle on the first day of competition.

The 25-year-old took both the 400- and 1,500metre freestyle events at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, but said before heading off to Glasgow that a repeat would be difficult.

It was Canada’s third medal of the day at Tollcross International Swimming Centre. Earlier, Calgary’s Brooklyn Snodgrass won bronze in the women’s 50-metre backstroke and Montreal’s Aurelie Rivard won bronze in the women’s para-sport 200metre individual medley S10.

Rasmus homers in Blue Jays 4-2 win over Red Sox BOSTON - Marcus Stroman had his second solid start against Boston in five days, Colby Rasmus hit a solo homer and the Toronto Blue Bays beat the Red Sox 4-2 on Tuesday night.

Anthony Gose had a tiebreaking two-run double for the Blue Jays, who won for the ninth time in 11 games and improved to 9-3 against the Red Sox this season.

Xander Bogaerts homered and Dustin Pedroia added an RBI double for Boston, which has dropped all five games in Fenway Park against Toronto.

The Red Sox lost for the seventh time in eight games.

Stroman (7-2) held Boston to one run and six hits in seven innings, striking out eight and walking two. He took a no-hitter into the seventh last Thursday before giving up Shane Victorino’s leadoff single for his only hit allowed in seven innings.

Casey Janssen got the final three outs for his 17th save despite giving up Bogaerts’ homer.

Rubby De La Rosa (3-4) gave up three runs on nine hits in six innings.

The Blue Jays beat Boston in the opener of a three-game series on Monday.

Bandits reflect on championship Local baseball team wins Montana state title, finishes with winningest record since 2007

TRE VOR CR AWLEY Sports Editor

After winning three straight at home, the Bandits rolled into the Montana state ‘B’ division championship, going undefeated to clinch the title in five games.

“Not only to win state, but winning the three games at home before we went down there was a big confidence builder and that’s when the bats really started going again,” said Bandits head coach Paul Mrazek.

“I felt confident and I told the kids that the hits are going to start coming again and they definitely did come with 56 hits in five games.”

Fifty six hits in five games translated into 66 runs scored.

Not to shabby on the stats sheet.

The Bandits handily won their first three games of round robin, outscoring the opposition 44-4. One such game featured a 18-run inning with a 20-2 decision over the Gallatin Valley Outlaws, a team that featured a very young roster.

That being said, you couldn’t take any team lightly, Mrazek added.

“Medicine Hat’s beat us before, Helena was close for a while, but it was always in that third, fourth inning where things busted open,” he said.

“Our bats just went nuts. We hat 56 hits in five games. We scored scored 66 runs.”

The Bandits got 10 of those hits in the final game, scoring six runs in the fourth inning on the way to an 11-5 win over the Medicine Hat Majes-

tics to clinch the state championship.

The Cranbrook team was up 2-0 after the third inning, but the Majestics earned four runs at the top of the fourth to take the lead. However, the Bandits roared back with their six run performance to jump ahead.

Devon Marra was getting tired on the pitcher’s mound, which allowed the Majestics to make some hits at the plate and score their runs. Mrazek put in Tyler Thorn to close out the inning who shut down all three Medicine Hat hitters.

Cranbrook went up to bat, and the team delivered.

“We went there and we got some hits, got the bases loaded and Marra hits a triple, and we scored another couple runs after that,” said

Leafs ink Gardiner to 5-year deal C ANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO - Jake Gardiner and the Maple Leafs have agreed to deal that will keep the restricted-free-agent defenceman in Toronto for the long haul.

The 24-year-old will make US$20.25 million over the course of the five-year contract, a cap hit of

$4.05 million, the Leafs confirmed Tuesday.

Gardiner had 10 goals and 21 assists in 80 games this past season.

Gardiner, drafted 17th overall by Anaheim in 2008, made his NHL debut with Toronto in 2011.

The six-foot-two, 184-pounder has 17 goals and 48 assists in 167 games.

Mrazek. “…That helped for the mindset, now it’s 8-4 for us. Connor Armstrong took the mound, he did a great job, he shut them down. We went and got three more runs in the fifth and he [Armstrong] shut them down in the sixth and they scored one in the seventh.”

Cranbrook’s threerun score in the fifth inning increased their lead to 11-4, but Medicine Hat did respond with a single run in the final inning.

“It took a while to get the first out, then after that, there were two pop-ups to [Brandon] Ouilette and he caught them both and that was the story,” said Mrazek.

“Game over. “…The last two innings, we had a good lead and I told the kids it doesn’t matter if someone gets on base, if they score one run—that’s no big deal. Just get an out, get another out and make the routine plays and finish the game.”

Marra had three RBI’s based of his triple, while Caden McCormack also drove three runners home off of two singles. Cedar Kemp also batted home an

RBI. Marra pitched 3.2 innings, with Thorn closing out the last 0.1. Connor Armstrong finished off the rest of the game.

To get into the final, the Bandits had to get by the Helena Senators, which they did by an 11-3 margin. Again, it was a string of hits that started the ball rolling in the third inning.

The Bandits went up 5-2 after the third, and added six more hits over the next three to seal up the win.

“It was a close game with Helena,” said Mrazek. “We had to pull the pitcher and put in Marra and he shut them down. He was throwing 85-86 [mph] and they couldn’t touch it.

“Then our bats came alive again.”

Cranbrook got through the round robin stage with a 12-2 defeat of Bitterroot, a 20-2 win over Gallatin Valley and a 12-0 shutout of the Majestics.

The Bandits finished the season with a 20-23 record, a big improvement of 11-22 last year and their winningest record since Mrazek took over head coaching duties in 2007.

WEDNESday, JuLY 30, 2014

SURREY, B.C. — It was just before 1 a.m. during an overnight cyclying race when loud explosions disrupted the solace of a rider along Highway 1 in British Columbia.

At first, Craig Premack, 59, thought he was hearing firecrackers near Spences Bridge while he was taking part in a 600-kilometre, two-day cycling event called the Cache Creek 600. ``But then my right forearm just blew up,’’ Premack said at a police news conference Tuesday. ``Seconds later I could feel the warmth of the blood rolling down my leg. I quickly realized that I had been C anadian Press

shot and pedalled faster to escape.’’

Premack said the bullet entered his right forearm, just below his elbow.

As he tried to make sense of what was happening, he saw a dark-coloured vehicle leaving a highway pullout. ``It was almost like a bad dream.

I looked down and I could feel the blood. My goodness, I’ve been shot.

I’ve really been shot. And all I could think was get away.’’

Premack said he slowed the bleeding with a tourniquet he fashioned out of a pair of pants, and hoped his cycling buddies would soon come by.

He said some cyclists were 20 minutes ahead of him and others were 20 minutes behind him in the cycling event that runs from Metro Vancouver to B.C.’s southern Interior and back. ``After the longest 20 minutes of my life I could see the lights of what could only be my cycling friends.

They were quick to react, with one of them riding back to Spences Bridge to summon help.’’

RCMP Insp. Ed Boettcher told the news conference that police believe the potentially deadly incident near Lytton is random. ``We’re very fortunate today to be talking about a shooting and not

a homicide,’’ he said. ``It was a completely and utterly violent act, one that could have been directed at any one of us.’’

Boettcher said some cyclists have reported that two men in a pickup truck threw objects at them earlier in the race, though there is nothing to indicate that incident is connected to the shooting.

Premack said he was taken to a nearby hospital in Ashcroft before being transferred to Vancouver for surgery.

He appealed to anyone with information about who could be responsible for the shooting to contact police.

The impact of the bullet turned the bone, about two centimetres below his elbow, into small fragments, Premack said, turning his arm to show where the bullet entered and exited. ``Over time those pieces are supposed to find each other and turn back into a bone.’’

Premack said he won’t be able to return to work for several months and that he’s concerned about finances.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

Annie’s Mailbox

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I am 13 and an avid reader of your column. I have been working at a summer program, and I ride a school bus there and back. Two young men ride the same bus. I have a crush on one of them (I’ll call him “Liam”), but I happen to know he likes another girl. The other guy (I’ll call him “Noah”) seems to like me. I had a crush on Noah last year, but I’m not sure I still have those same feelings. Noah sometimes sits next to me on the bus and talks to me.

Here’s the problem: One day, it seems they both like me, and then another day, Liam seems interested in that other girl, and I am laughing and giggling with Noah. I am hopelessly confused about these mixed signals. I told two of my girlfriends about this situation, and they concluded that both of these boys like me, but Liam likes the other girl better.

Is it wrong for me to like both of these boys? If Noah says he likes me, what do I do?

Please help. -- Omaha, Neb. Dear Omaha: Please don’t think you have to choose between these two boys right now.

They probably both enjoy your company, although Liam seems interested in playing the field a bit more. That’s OK. Don’t be pressured to make any kind of decision. It’s perfectly fine to like both of them, at least until one of them expresses an interest and the feeling is mutual.

Dear Annie: For the past several years, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that my wife and I aren’t going to have sex, so pornography and self-gratification are the alternative.

I understand that she can be tired, ill or angry or just not feel like it. But that’s all the time. She says I take it too personally when she turns me down. Yet when she insists she likes sex and wants me to initiate, I get slapped and turned away as soon as I approach her. How can I not take that personally? I finally realized I am better off accepting that we aren’t going to have sex, and I no longer get frustrated.

I send flowers, take her out to dinner, make her coffee in the morning, make her lunch for work, clean up after dinner and make breakfast on weekends. I’m in good shape. Her interest declined when our children were young. She told me if I don’t like it, I can leave, but we both know that would be bad for the kids. We talked about counseling, but she wouldn’t go, so I went by myself. The counselor wasn’t too helpful, saying suck it up or leave.

I guess I’m angry. It’s no use talking to her about it anymore. So why am I writing?

I want someone to change my wife. But I know she’s the only one who can do that, and she doesn’t have much interest. Men like me lead lives of quiet desperation. -- In Pain Dear Pain: Please understand that your counselor was right. In situations where the other person is unwilling to make changes, your choice is to stay or to go. But although you decided to stay, you didn’t truly deal with the emotional fallout and became increasingly resentful, lonely and bitter. Additional counseling may help you let go of some of that and be more at peace. Our condolences.

Dear Annie: My question for “Just Saying” is: Why all the anger? I have been a chef for 32 years and often have cooked food for those on a special diet.

The next time you go to a restaurant, simply phone ahead with your special request.

I even have gone to the market to buy what my customer needs. A simple call to the chef will make your evening out a success. -- Chef P.

Obituary Lucile Martin Nov. 8, 1924 - July 24, 2014

Lucile (nee Jones) was born and raised in Revelstoke BC. After attending UBC and Normal School, Lucile got her first teaching job in Kimberley. A natural athlete, she soon impressed a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;local boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and married John Martin (deceased 2008) in 1949. They enjoyed skiing, golf and the lake at Wasa which became their home.

Lucile loved summer and entertaining friends and family on her deck adorned with lovely flowers. She was an excellent cook and baker. Lucile was an energetic citizen who taught kindergarten and founded and ran a daycare for special needs children for years. She volunteered for the ski club, snow fiesta, Girl Guides and Rangers, the Kimberley Library and also ran a library from her Wasa home. Her love of books prevailed as she became a fixture in the Pineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lounge absorbed in reading.

Lucile is survived by her sister Gwen Holland, 3 children Michael, Susan and Jocelyne, 7 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren, sister-in-law Arlene Martin and many nieces and nephews.

The family will announce a memorial at a later date.

Ellie is fully house trained and knows her basic obedience commands.

S.P.C.A. Newsletter July 30, 2014 It’s raining cats….

The reality of the cat situation in the East Kootenay is in a critical state. We have one of the largest populations per capita, of domestic, feral and free roaming cats in the province of British Columbia. Many of these cats end up at the shelter as people bring them in or they end up on our doorstep.

Just today, we came back from lunch and there was a mom and two kittens left for us. Currently we have over 100 cats in our system. We have over 50 cats on a waiting list to enter the shelter. They are either strays or surrenders. There are many reasons people surrender their pets. Some are valid reasons and some are not. We are not here to judge people on why they are giving them up, but we are here to care for the animals and hopefully place them in forever homes. It is important to remember to SPAY AND NEUTER your pets! This would certainly help with this crisis.

What do we do with all of these cats?

I need a home GRIFFEN is a short hair orange tabby he is about 5 years old. He was very shy when he first came in but within a few weeks he came out of his shell. Griffen is great with other cats and is okay with dogs. He likes to spend most of his time outside hunting for mice but once he’s done that he will snuggle up with you for hours!

JACK is a 4 year old Sharpei cross. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

He doesn’t do well with other dominant dogs. He would do best in a home with a submissive female or a home where he will be the only dog. Like most Sharpei’s, Jack is quite independent. He requires a confident handler, someone who knows this breed of dog. Jack was raised with a new born child from the time he was a puppy.

She was a surrendered in February and is patiently waiting for her forever home.

11011 Baker Street Cranbrook 250-489-3262

Our goal is to find loving, forever homes for every single one of our animals. This can be challenging when we have cats and kittens coming in every single day. We take in more cats then we can adopt out in this area.

There is a belief that we euthanize cats because we have too many. This is absolutely false! We have a program called the Drive for Lives. This is when we transfer animals that have been in the shelter for longer than 30 days to other BCSPCA Shelters. We have a wonderful partnership with Pacific Coastal Airlines and they transfer cats for us at no charge down to the lower mainland. We also transfer between the East Kootenay’s and the shelters in the West Kootenay’s. But, even with the ability to transfer we do not have a large enough shelter to house all of the cats in need in the East Kootenay’s. Currently we do not have one empty kennel in the shelter.

Some of the kennels have 2 or more cats in them. Over-crowding causes stress which will cause illness. It is a less than perfect situation currently at our shelter.

Thinking of adopting?

Please make the BCSPCA East Kootenay Branch your first adoption option! We make sure that every cat that leaves our shelter is spay/neutered, dewormed, and vaccinated prior to leaving our shelter. The cost to adopt a cat or kitten ranges from $50 - $125. This is a great deal and much cheaper in the long run from getting a “free” kitten. For the BCSPCA the cost for caring for a cat is on average about $475.00/cat so that is why we have an adoption fee. It does help out with some of the costs. We don’t receive any provincial or federal funding and we rely solely on donations, fundraising and grants. But, if the cost is hindering you from adopting, please come and talk to us, and we will make it happen for you. We really just want to find loving homes for all of our animals!

PAWS FOR A CAUSE September 21st, 2014 - 10am Every year, thousands of animal-lovers in more than 34 communities across B.C. register, fundraise and walk to fight animal cruelty at the Scotiabank & BCSPCA Paws for a Cause. This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever! We will have prizes for the top fundraisers for youth, adult, family, corporate team, and classroom. We will have music, vendors, a BBQ, a fun dog show, and lots of kid’s activities including face painting. Be sure to register at spca.bc.ca/walk today! We are hoping to raise $15,000 this year! Come out and bring the entire family! All proceeds will stay in the East Kootenay’s to help all of our furry friends! If you are interested in donating for this event please call the shelter.

Recycle Program

Please support the EK Branch by donating your recyclable bottles and cans.

Your donations will be picked up, cleaned, sorted and taken to the recycle depot. All funds collected will be donated directly to the East Kootenay Branch for the needs of the shelter and our furry friends. Please call Gail and Richard Ballance at 250-489-2450 for pick up.

Spear GraSS: a Summer Danger For Your pet When Spear grass dries out, it’s very sharp and pointy seeds are easily knocked off.

These seeds can attach to your pet and bury into their skin or deep into ear canals where they could potentially rupture the ear drum. Also, check between toes, groin and armpit areas as they can bury into dog’s skin and, over time, become infected. If your pet is excessively shaking its head, scratching or sneezing, please take them to a veterinarian for examination.

Family credits hungry cat with saving them from burning home C anadian Press

NORTH SYDNEY, N.S. — Brian Young gave his cat Berkeley a hearty scratch on the back and a few extra cans of tuna after the hungry feline awakened him just be-

fore a fire raced through his home, leaving little time to get his family out.

Young, a former Nova Scotia politician who lives with his wife and two adult sons in

North Sydney, said the cat woke him up Monday at about 5 a.m., mewing to be fed and let outside.

Young said he fed the eight-year-old tabby some of the tuna he

keeps in the fridge for him, let him out and returned to bed where he drifted off to sleep before waking up to a whooshing sound of flames and the crackling of burning floorboards

about an hour or so later.

He said he went downstairs to find flames and smoke rolling off the kitchen ceiling and rushed his wife and son out of the house

while calling 911 as the fast-moving fire destroyed part of the home. ``I got to the bottom of the stairs and looked and there was a wall of flame and I screamed,

‘Oh my God,’’’ Young said from the hotel where he and his family are staying. ``But we all got out safely and the cat is safe.’’

Berkeley, a stray who appeared at their home as a scrawny kitten eight years ago, took off after the fire but has since returned and is being cared for by a neighbour until the family determines what will happen to their home.

Young, who served in the Progressive Conservative governments of former premiers John Buchanan and Donald Cameron, credits the cat with getting him up, preventing him from falling back into a deep sleep after that.

He said a couple of people at the local mall had heard the story and their first question was, ``Did you find your cat?’’

Young said the hefty brown cat, known for its six toes on each paw, was a little miffed by the whole ordeal. ``He showed up and he was really put out because his house had been burned and his regular haunts were gone,’’ he said with a laugh. ``We got him staying with a neighbour and they’re feeding him tuna as well, so he’s happy with that.’’

He said the fire engulfed the deck and went into the kitchen wall, forcing firefighters to poke holes in the roof to try to extinguish it.

But he said the blaze left a big hole where the dining room and kitchen once were.

Young, 64, said it’s not clear whether they can salvage their home.

He said they may have lost many of their possessions, including memorabilia from his daughter Carmen who died in 1992 after an unsuccessful double lung transplant. ``That’s life — you can’t predict it, you can’t control it, you just have to roll with the punches,’’ he said.
