Gran Fondo continues to grow Events in Kimberley’s Platzl added to experience, riders say TRE VOR CR AWLEY Townsman Staff

It’s the details that matter.

With that in mind, Glenn Dobie and the Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo organizing committee went to work and tweaked a few things for their second annual event on Sunday.

Needless to say, their hard work paid off.

With an 40 per cent increase from the inaugural event last year, the 2014 edition featured 350 riders in all three of the distance categories.

“I think first and foremost is the overwhelming kudos to the volunteers from the cyclists,” said Dobie, “What we’ve dubbed the ‘Fondo Force’ really was a force to be reckoned with. Their enthusiasm and support in cheering the cyclists on was just exceptional.

“Adding the little wrinkle of going through the Kimberley Platzl…the expression I heard from the cyclists is that it felt like the Tour de France and it gave them a tremendous boost BARRY COULTER PHOTO to cycle all the way out to Wasa and Riders begin the Gran Fondo distance of last Sunday’s race. back.”

International students want in the classroom 42 students wait for strike’s end C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

As Kimberley public school students head into the second week of no classes due to the labour dispute between teachers and the provincial government, another group of students are hoping things will be settled soon as well.

These are students from all over the world who have come to Kimberley this year as part of the Rocky Mountain School District International Program.

Currently there are 42 students in Kimberley ready to join Canadian students for the 2014-2015 school year.

Duncan Macleod from the SD6 International Program says the students all arrived the week of

August 25.

“We have record numbers for the program in the District and 42 students in Kimberley,” he said.

“So far, so good. We are keeping the kids busy, doing trips and events. But it is an interesting situation, unprecedented for our program. The kids are itching to get to school.”

Macleod says that parents of all students were notified in July that

the job action could carry over into September.

“We did give them the option to opt out and find opportunities in other provinces or even countries, but no one took us up on it.”

However, Macleod says that while the students are being kept busy they can’t be provided with any curricular instruction.

“And really that’s what they are here for. They want to be in the

classroom with Canadian kids and Canadian teachers — especially at Selkirk where there are so many great courses. There’s really a desire to get in there. Courses like equine studies and outdoor education are a huge draw for international students.

“The stuff we are doing is engaging and interesting but they want to be in class. We are all hoping it will be resolved soon.”

BYLAW 2535 Meadowbrook

Weekly wildlife report There were two notable bear sightings in Kimberley this week. A black bear was seen accessing unsecured residential garbage in the Townsite neighbourhood. Another black bear was seen sniffing out a porch in the residences on Howard Street. A fruit tree was damaged overnight in Marysville, as well, and is suspected to be the work of a bear.

Remember: your uncovered porch, deck or balcony is not sufficiently secure to discourage a bear. Keep your porch clean of food or food waste; burn off barbeques and store garbage and recycling in a more secure location (such as a garage, shed or mud room). Bears are curious animals and may be intrigued by items left out on your porch, even if we do not consider them foods. Tidy toys, tools and anything else in your outdoor spaces before calling it a day.

Gran Fondo grows

From Page 1 The Kimberley Rotary Club organized the festivities at the Platzl, with crowds building up an enthusiastic atmosphere as they cheered on the cyclists.

“It was like a celebration festival,” Dobie added. “People were stopping and cheering and there were cowbells and noisemakers.”

Awards were handed out to the Wildfires Cycling Club out of Cochrane, Alberta, while a couple from Oxford, England held the honour of being the competitors who traveled the furthest.

“They had friends in the area, and they came to visit them, but they coordinated it to ride in the Fondo,” said

Dobie.

Other details, such as a continental breakfast and a post-ride meal seemed to be a big hit with the riders, he added. The post ride wrap up also featured a concert with Barney Bentall and the Testers.

As with last year’s first-ever Fondo, Dobie singled out business support as one of the key reasons for getting the successful event off the ground.

“The support of our local business community really contributes to the success of it.

Their support is behind-thescenes, but without their support, it just wouldn’t nearly have the flawless execution and the results.”

police being close by at the time of the call and the witness reporting the suspicious behaviour lead to the quick and successful apprehension of the two suspects.

If any of these items taken from your vehicle during this time, please contact the Kimberley RCMP at 427-4811.

Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook proposes to adopt “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3807, 2014”.

The proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment will change several sections of the “City of Cranbrook Zoning Bylaw No. 3737, 2012”. The purpose of the amendment is to update permitted uses and regulations, provide consistent terminology between use definitions and applicable commercial and industrial zones, and update parking requirements for specific uses. In addition, zoning references to the Building Bylaw and Sign Bylaw are updated with current numbers.

The proposed amendments will be within the following sections of the zoning bylaw: Part 3 – Definitions Part 6 – Parking and Loading Requirements Part 7 – Zones: Community Commercial Zone C-1 Comprehensive Development Zone CD-2 Highway Commercial Zone C-2 Mixed Commercial Residential Zone C-4 Clean Industrial Zone M-1 Light Industrial Zone M-2 Tourist Commercial Zone C-6 Heavy Industrial and Transportation Zone M-3 “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3807, 2014” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until September 15, 2014, as posted on the bulletin board in the foyer at City Hall or in the office of the Municipal Clerk.

The Public Hearing will commence in the City Hall Council Chamber, 40 – 10th Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on the 15th day of September, 2014.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw Amendment may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

Kimberley’s newest drug store opened its door this week as Saunder’s Pharmacy came into being under management of Lloyd Saunders.

Mr. Saunders was born in Camrose, Alberta, and received his early education there.

He attended high school in Princeton and began his apprenticeship in Vancouver. This was interrupted by four years’ service as an operating room technician in No.10 Field Surgical Unit throughout England, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany and No. 7 General Hospital with the Army of occupation. He completed his studies in pharmacy on his discharge.

Second Channel For TV Viewers

Only a few months after television service became available to

Kimberley homes, a second channel has been added to Kimberley’s receiving antenna, providing a great variety of program material.

The announcement to this effect was made this week by Kootenay Enterprises Limited, who brought television to Kimberley just after the New Year via a community antenna system.

The company’s receiving station at the 5,800 foot level on North Star mountain has been the scene of a great deal of activity in recent weeks as company officials tested equipment to bring in the second station. Now coming in clearly, and to be added to the company’s line service within a very short time, is the Calgary television station on Channel 2, which carries many of the important C.B.C. and N.B.C. telecasts.

“We told our patrons as soon as they signed up that we would give them a second channel as soon as it was available”, a company official explained. He added that Calgary has long been in their plans but

P U B L I C H E A R I NG N O T I C E Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook is considering adoption of “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3810, 2014”.

The proposed amendment results from an application by the owners of Rivers Crossing (formerly Shadow Mountain) to amend the regulations for secondary suites for the Single Family Residential District - Small Lot, and the Single Family Residential District - Estate, within “Comprehensive Development Zone 3: CD-3 – Shadow Mountain”.

Specifically, the proposed amendment of the Zoning Bylaw will change the permissible size of a secondary suite from a maximum of 25% of the total floor area of the principle dwelling unit, or 46 m2, whichever is less, to a maximum of 40% of the total floor area of the principle dwelling unit, or 90 m2, whichever is less.

The purpose of the zoning amendment is to increase the maximum permitted secondary suite size.

The proposed amendment for secondary suites is specific to the two single family residential districts of Rivers Crossing.

“City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3810, 2014” may be inspected between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, up until September 15, 2014, as posted on the bulletin board in the foyer at City Hall, or in the office of the Municipal Clerk.

The Public Hearing will commence in the Council Chamber of City Hall, 40 - 10 Avenue South at 6:00 p.m. on the 15th day of September, 2014.

SUBMISSIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw Amendment may submit written presentations to the City of Cranbrook prior to the date of the Hearing and they may also submit written and/or verbal presentations at the Hearing, thereby allowing all persons an opportunity to be heard on this matter.

not until recently was that station operating at full power.

While the Calgary station is privately owned-it is a joint enterprise of the three Calgary commercial radio stations-it carries many of the C.B.C.’s broadcasts and the most eagerly anticipated locally is the series of kinescope telecasts of the Western Football League games.

It is probable that these games will be seen within a week of their actual taking place.

While there are a great many more technical problems involved in picking up the Calgary station than there were in the case of KXLY-TV in Spokane, these have been successfully solved and clear reception of both stations in all parts of the city is anticipated.

The community antenna system works by way of a central receiving station which is carried to all parts of Kimberley by means of a special co-axial cable which is then linked to the individual home. In the time the system has been in operation, some 100 Kimberley families have enjoyed the best in home entertainment by this means.

“We intend to see that Kimberley gets the best possible service and with the coming of the great Fall and Winter programs, we expect that more and more Kimberley homes will be hooked in to our line,” the television official stated.

Tom Murphy Does It Again

A Kimberley native son, swimmer Tom Murphy won plaudits on Sunday as he completed the gruelling 20 mile swim from Proctor to Nelson.

Tom, the son of Mrs. Agnes Murphy of 575 Rotary Drive, is a Nelson city fireman. He has long been noted for his swimming prowess and his years of successes were climaxed by this marathon test.

He entered the waters of the Kootenay Lake’s west arm at 9:40 a.m. at Proctor and churned over the 20 mile course in 12 ½ hrs.

Gran Fondo

Opinion/Events Letters to the Editor

The Kootenay Rockies Gran Fondo 2014 was an outstanding event!

Every base was expertly covered: The ‘tweak’ of the Fondo route, taking riders through Kimberley’s Platzl was fun, festive and we felt like cycling Super stars!

Hats off to the awesome aid stations run

by Kimberley Rotary, Wasa Lions and the Western Financial Group.

Thank you to the registration crew, bike mechanics, highway crossing attendants, bike-check team, announcers, the-armybehind-the-scenes, and organizers extrordinaire. Every volunteer was helpful, encouraging and shone with enthusiastic smiles.

Kudos to Taylor Adams and every Sponsor supporting Sunday’s “Gran” ride.

This event supports local cyclists of every level, it showcases the picturesque Kootenay Rockies, provides a healthy, economic stimulant (to Cranbrook & Kimberley), and raises funds that further enrich our “Kootenay World.”

A huge THANK YOU Cranbrook Rotary Sunrise, you’ve created a first-class cycling event.

The Kootenay Rockies Gran FONDO ROCKS! Cynthia Peacosh, Diane Manson, Mary Doris Shewan, Marie Kohlman, Shelley Mastaller, Tara Sykes

Gran Fondo

The second Gran Fondo was another great success. More people are entering this well-run event and the Sunrise Rotary Club’s attention to detail makes this a most enjoyable “participaction” event.

The additions to this year’s event in-

cluded even better signage, more volunteers giving us route directions, and registration and continental breakfast at the St. Eugene Resort. It was a highlight of the day to ride through the Platzl giving us a cobblestone experience like the Tour de France complete with cheering fans.

Thank you to all the Rotarians, sponsors, and the many volunteers who make this incredible event possible. It was a fun day for all of us who participated and I look forward to going in it again next year.

Teachers Strike

There are very few times that Norm Macdonald and I agree on things but I have found a few exceptions. As a former teacher myself I believe in a strong public education system. I respect and value our teachers and applaud them for hard they work and the value they bring to the lives of our children. I believe that teachers deserve an affordable raise and that our children deserve all that can possibly be given in terms of class size and composition.

That said, I find it extremely disappointing that Mr. Macdonald has taken an opportunity to politicize this serious provincial situation by trying to have us believe that there is a “right side and a wrong side,” that the Premier supports private over public schools and that she is “100 per cent to blame.” These statements are simply irresponsible, inaccurate and misguiding with the expressed intent of inspiring nothing more than emotional responses from people who deserve far better.

Mr. Macdonald neglects to acknowledge that negotiation never labels a right or a wrong side nor will the process ever

assign blame to a single person. Mediated negotiation recognizes opposing sides and the differing opinion held and promotes collaboration as both sides work toward a mutually agreeable settlement.

His blame game neglects to mention that the BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) continues to struggle with the concept of concession which is a key element of any bargaining process or that it is puzzling why the BCTF have rejected the government’s offer to reopen schools while mediation continues.

Disturbingly, Mr. Macdonald chose not to reference the fact that the BCTF actually refused to let teachers vote on suspending the strike during continued mediation or equally puzzling why the BCTF seems to want to force government to legislate teachers back to work knowing that this will result in the same dysfunctional relationship that has been the BC experience for the past 30 years.

Mr. Macdonald does not understand that the BCTF refusal to set aside educational issues that are currently before the courts and cannot be negotiated at this time, are keeping kids out of classrooms.

Further he neglects to acknowledge that the BCTF wants to go back to the old ridged ratios and formulas that in the past defined class size and composition knowing full well that no other province in Canada manages its classrooms this way.

Why? They are inefficient, ineffective and highly discriminatory towards students with special needs.

Blame is a waste of time and takes the focus off what is most important; getting kids back into classrooms.

The art of seeming consistent

Y

Tuesday, September 9, 2014

ou mustn’t expect politicians in a democratic system to come up with ideologically pure, intellectually consistent policies. Their job is to put together a winning coalition of voters who have different and even conflicting interests, and if that requires compromises and even contradictions, so be it. But they must APPEAR to be consistent, and Marina Silva has mastered the art.

Until last month Silva was the vice-presidential candidate of the smallest of Brazil’s three main parties, a woman with a national reputation as an environmental activist but little prospect of high political office. President Dilma Rousseff was cruising serenely towards re-election in the first round of the elections on 5 October, despite the fact the Brazil’s once-booming economy is in a recession.

And then a small plane crashed.

Marina Silva was supposed to be on that plane, but changed her plans at the last moment. All seven people who were on board died, including the presidential candidate of the Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), Eduardo Campos. With the election campaign already underway, the PSB had no choice but to promote Silva in his place, and suddenly the election became a real race.

She is bright Green: her own party, which she took into coalition with the PSB, is called the Sustainability Network.

Even more importantly in a country where half the population is non-white, Silva is a

“caboclo”, the mixed-race combination of native Indian, black and white that is common in the Amazon. On census returns, she calls herself “black”. There has never been a serious presidential contender who was black before.

Only two weeks after Silva was chosen to replace the late Eduardo Campos, she has tripled the PSB’s support in the opinion polls.

There is now almost no chance that Dilma Rouswill win outright in the Gwynne seff first round of the elections.

The polls predict that Silva Dyer will come second to Rousseff in that round – and then beat the incumbent by 47 percent to 43 percent of the votes in the run-off three weeks later.

All very well, but what would Marina Silva actually do as the president of Brazil?

It’s an important question, because Brazil, the world’s fifth largest country (200 million people), is going through difficult times. Over the past 12 years the governing Workers’ Party has lifted 40 million Brazilians out of poverty, but economic growth has now stalled. Many people blame the government’s highly protectionist policies.

Silva is a plain-speaking woman with no allegations of corruption trailing her around (as they do so many other Brazilian politicians), but she has been remarkably unforthcoming on what she would do about the economy. This is because she now heads a political coalition whose major member, the PSB, is actually “busi-

ness-friendly”, as they say.

Silva’s plans for the environment are equally obscure, beyond the well-known fact that she disapproves of giant hydroelectric dams in the Amazon (and she hasn’t even cancelled any of them). She still talks like a Green, but her vice-presidential running mate, Beto Albuquerque, was responsible for pushing a law legalising the use of genetically modified soybeans through Congress.

She is, in other words, a “typical politician” who is trimming her sails to the prevailing wind. She accepted Albuquerque as a running mate because she needs to appeal to the agribusiness sector, which accounts for almost half of Brazil’s exports and a quarter of the economy.

Indeed, Silva’s economic platform is practically identical to that of the centre-right candidate, Aecio Neves: she would end price controls and energy subsidies, strengthen the autonomy of the central banks, and “streamline” (i.e. cut) the federal budget. On the other hand, despite her pursuit of business support she is still strong on environmental issues in general and an end to the deforestation of the Amazon in particular.

This is not consistent, and ideologically pure Brazilian environmentalists are already disappointed in her, but she has nothing to apologise for. She has put together a set of policies and a coalition of supporters that are inconsistent and sometimes downright contradictory, but they may deliver her into the presidency.

And that is the point of the exercise, after all: without power, policies are irrelevant.

Factory model fading for schools The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.

This follows months of the union’s insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTF’s preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation won’t fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.

BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the union’s exhausted membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes’ notice to the government’s chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the government’s mandate to control costs.

“This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done,” Fassbender said.

In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it.

The government’s position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preced-

ed it. And it points the way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.

The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents won’t be bribed, they want school, not daycare, it’s an insult, went the refrain.

Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly BC VIEWS two thirds of eligible parents Tom had enrolled, faced with Fletcher pickets at their schools and real and mounting child care and tutoring costs. The union executive, collecting their hefty salaries while teachers do without even token strike pay, said members who are parents should refuse the money.

Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.

The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates.

Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial labour strife, the B.C.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to “allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each student’s individual strengths and needs.”

One of B.C.’s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.

It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.

Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year.

In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.

“Do you put it on at the end of the year?

Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Nitros knot Rockies in Invermere Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Photo Submitted

Cranbrook’s Angela Johnson Linardic (back row, leaning in) was an assistant coach with Canada’s 18U Youth Girls National team this past summer. The team earned a silver medal at the 2014 FINA World Women’s Youth Championships in Madrid, Spain.

Where in the world is water polo?

Cranbrook’s Angela Johnson Linardic hopes to grow the sport in East Kootenays Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Chances are you haven’t thought much about water polo if you live in the East Kootenays, but a Cranbrook teacher is putting the sport on the map in the region.

Angela Johnson Linardic, 35, is a Grade 2 teacher at T.M. Roberts Elementary School.

Originally hailing from Victoria, Johnson Linardic has been involved in water polo for more than 20 years, having first started playing the sport in 1992.

“You make relationships with not only coaches, but players and you watch them grow,” Johnson Linardic said.

“You want to follow [the sport] and stay with it.

Even internationally, the relationships we have with coaches in other countries, you always stay connected.”

The tight-knit community feel of the sport drew Johnson Linardic from the players side into coaching in 1995 when she got her feet wet at the community level. Eventually, Johnson Linardic advanced to coaching at the provincial level in 2010.

In the fall of 2012, the elementary school teacher was invited to join the coaching staff for the 18-and-under (18U) women’s national water polo team.

“When they asked me, I didn’t really think twice about it,” Johnson Linardic said. “I had been involved in water polo in so many capacities and levels over the years that it was the one thing I hadn’t done. It was really exciting.”

In Johnson Linardic’s second year with the program, the team competed at the 2014 FINA World Women’s Youth Water Polo Championships in Madrid, Spain, Aug. 25 to 31. After taking two pre-worlds tournament titles by defeating Hungary and the Netherlands, the Canadian squad splashed its way to a silver medal in Madrid, falling to the United States in a tightly-contested championship game that finished with a final score of 5-4.

Despite the success on the national stage, Johnson Linardic laments the fact there is little knowledge of water polo in the Cranbrook and Kimberley area.

“Unfortunately, the B.C. Water Polo Association [BCWPA] does not have a member club in the [East Kootenays] at this time,” wrote BCWPA executive director David Soul via email Monday afternoon.

“We are going to be expanding our efforts to expand throughout the province in coming years, but at the moment, B.C. Water Polo

Association membership is concentrated in communities of the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island.”

According to Soul, there are approximately 1,500 water polo players, coaches and referees throughout the province. But none of those happen to be in the East Kootenays.

Gabor Toth is the director of development, regions, for the BCWPA. He oversees the development of the sport on a provincial level outside of the Lower Mainland.

“The number one issue is pool problems,” Toth said over the phone Monday afternoon.

“None of the facilities are good enough to play proper [competitive] level water polo.”

According to Toth, a 20-by-25 metre pool that is 1.8 metres deep in its entirety is what is required for high-level water polo.

Additionally, not every aquatic centre is in possession of the necessary equipment such as water polo caps and water polo nets.

“The plan is there to step-by-step move in the province and have water polo everywhere in a certain level,” Toth added. “Cranbrook, basically on the recreational level and developmental level.”

According to Toth,

the BCWPA has initiated one particular program to help build grassroots development opportunities for the sport in the province. Additionally, Water Polo Canada has created the “I Love Water Polo” program as an introduction to the sport for children aged eight to 12. “I Love Water Polo” does not require a fullsize water polo pool and according to Toth, would be a strong introduction to the sport for the East Kootenays.

The BCWPA initiated a program in 2013 called the Elementary School Polo Cup. Any elementary school recognized by the B.C. Ministry of Education was eligible to participate in the program if it had access to the necessary facilities.

Unfortunately, with the on-going education labour dispute in the province, the BCWPA was forced to cancel the program for the 2014-15 academic year.

“We are a year behind,” Toth said. “We’re going to start and try to do the same thing again with a certain region.

The Kamloops and Kelowna area is one of the target areas to start.

If we have some success there then we can move on.”

Toth’s hope is for grassroots water polo programs to make their way into the Cranbrook and Kimberley area in

two to three years.

“In Cranbrook, you have a really talented coach [in Johnson Linardic],” Toth said. “If she is willing to put the time into something, you have somebody there [to coach]. But we need to have enough interest from the parents and kids to [institute these programs].”

According to Johnson Linardic, there are small drop-in recreational programs in Creston and Kimberley.

Typically, these programs only run through the summer months.

In addition to coaching, Johnson Linardic continues to play water polo competitively, having earned a silver medal at the 15th FINA World Masters Championships in Montreal, Que. this past summer.

Though it might be a battle fought swimming upstream, Johnson Linardic is hopeful prograss can be made in growing the sport in the East Kootenays with the support of people in the area as well as the BCWPA. If water polo is to establish roots in the region, a national coach with the experience of Johnson Linardic is more than most can even dream of having.

She is here and doing her part, all that’s left is for the remaining pieces to fall into place.

The Kimberley Dynamiters and Columbia Valley Rockies wrapped up the 2014 KIJHL pre-season Monday night in Invermere, battling to a 4-4 draw.

Rockies forward Kyle Becker knotted the game late in the third period after the Nitros jumped out in front with two unanswered goals courtesy of Jared Marchi and Austin Hancherow to start the final frame.

The Rockies got off to a quick start at Eddie Mountain Memorial Arena, as defenceman Carter Melnyk gave the home team the advantage early in the first..

Kimberley forward Coy Prevost returned from suspension Monday and responded for the Dynamiters with a breakaway goal in the first period.

Alex Rosolowski added a second-period tally for Kimberley.

Rookie goaltender Liam McBain, a native of Tualatin, Ore., earned the start in net for the Nitros.

The Dynamiters finish the 2014 KIJHL pre-season undefeated with a 2-0-2 record.

The first of two pre-season victories came Sept. 3 in Kimberley when the Dynamiters defeated the Rockies 6-1.

The Fernie Ghostriders fell victim to the Nitros Sept. 5, as Kimberley knocked off its Eddie Mountain Division rival 5-2 in Fernie.

In a rematch in Kimberley Sept. 6, the Dynamiters and Ghostriders battled to a 3-3 draw.

According to general manager Dave Smith, the team is expected to make final player re-assignments Wednesday.

As it stands, the team is carrying 28 players after Prevost was returned from the Saskatoon Blades late last week. It is expected the squad will be reduced to 23 players prior to the regular season opener Saturday night.

The Nitros host the Creston Valley Thunder Cats Sept. 13 at the Kimberley Civic Centre to open the 2014 KIJHL regular season. Puck drop is slated for 7 p.m.

HOROSCOPES

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Maintain a low-profile and you’ll find that others will respond accordingly. A key partner seems readily available to have an important discussion.

Communication opens up when you decide to reveal more of your feelings. Tonight: Energized.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Use the daytime hours to finish up a project. You might want to think through an issue that surrounds a personal matter more thoroughly. Deliberate all you want, but postpone an important discussion for now; someone easily could blow his or her top. Tonight: Settle in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will be on top of your game.

Take responsibility for what needs to be done, and complete it. You will feel great and be in the mood to join friends or indulge in a favorite pastime. You could have too much energy for your own good. Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out to someone you care about. It might be difficult to change direction or do something differently. Your ability to honor a new friend’s requests could launch a fun escapade. Don’t overthink -- just go with your initial feelings.

Tonight: A force to behold.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You enjoy relating directly to others. Try to understand why a close friend continues to trip him- or herself up. Understand that others respond differently to you because you keep things to yourself. Share your feelings more openly, and visualize what you desire. Tonight: At home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be taken aback by someone’s efforts to draw you out. You usually don’t shut down, but lately it seems as though you have. Something else might be happening here.

Once the other party starts talking, you will gain understanding. Tonight: Be a duo.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A loved one could be balk-

Tundra

ing, which might be causing an additional effort on your part to keep him or her on the right course. Let someone you care about express his or her thoughts on the matter. Tonight: So many offers and invitations. Now choose.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll move quickly from one topic to another, as your agile mind is capable of finding answers fast. You know when enough is enough, so make it OK to say “no.” A call could add a lot of romance to your life. Be open to your feelings. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to move in a different direction, but you’ll want and need more feedback first. Listen to news with a bit more cynicism than usual. Your creativity will emerge toward the end of the afternoon. Use this energy well. Tonight: Love the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Speak your mind, and don’t hold back. It will be clear that you have a different idea from

someone else for how to handle a personal matter. Understand that the two ideas could work well together. Return calls and ask long-overdue questions. Tonight: Hang out close to home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Continue monitoring your finances closely, as there could be a problem where you least expect one. Schedule meetings for the end of the day, when you’re more relaxed. Listen to what someone has to share.

This person might have very different views. Tonight: Join a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will be in your element. As a result, you’ll be able to pull back and see the big picture from various points of view.

How you deal with a problem could change radically given new information. Know that you will find the right solution.

Tonight: Your treat.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I cannot stand to be around my mother-in-law. Since the day I married, “MIL” has been telling my wife and me how to live our lives. She issues opinions on everything from how to raise our dog and decorate our house to how to parent our baby. We can’t go one visit without her making numerous suggestions.

I have discussed this with my wife many times to no avail. I don’t feel it is my place to set her mother straight. I’ve told my wife that unless she speaks to her mom about her need to run our lives, nothing will ever change How do I get my wife to understand that I don’t want to deal with this anymore? It stresses me out so much that I’m almost willing to end our marriage in order to get away from my mother-in-law. Please help.

-- Frustrated in North Carolina Dear North Carolina: Mom needs better boundaries, but unless your wife agrees, you aren’t going to get anywhere. Please don’t grant your mother-in-law so much importance. She has opinions. You don’t have to take them seriously. Practice nodding and ignoring her. When she comes over, welcome her warmly and then leave the room. It’s the type of diplomacy that married couples have practiced for centuries. Your wife will appreciate your graciousness, and you’ll calm down.

Dear Annie: I have a friend -- well, now she’s an ex-friend -- who would go to a restaurant and, no matter what she ordered, ask for extra this, extra that. If they provided rolls, she would eat one and ask for more. She would ask for a doggie bag and load it with everything on the table. It was embarrassing. I once asked whether she was going to take the salt and pepper shakers, hoping she would get the hint. If I had leftovers on my plate, she would ask to take them. Once, when I left the table, she had the waiter take the potato skin from my plate and box it up. That was the last straw.

Her excuse was that she couldn’t waste food, but honestly, her dog needs my potato skin? I refuse to be an enabler of this odd behavior, so I no longer go to restaurants with her. This woman never starved growing up. She has no money problems.

She has a good job, owns her own home and has two cars.

Is this connected to hoarding? She also has never invited me into her house.

Whenever I picked her up, she was waiting outside. She only has friends for a short while and then stops calling them, claiming they have mental problems. Why would she behave this way? -- Odd Behavior Dear Odd: It’s possible your friend has a compulsive disorder that makes her take things from restaurants, and it could also tie in with her not wanting you to enter her home. It’s also possible she has financial problems or a gambling addiction or some other reason for needing table scraps. We don’t know. But we do think your friend has issues she doesn’t want other people to be aware of, and when someone gets too close, she cuts off the friendship.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Lonely Mother,” who said her children married and stopped visiting.

I married three years ago. I, too, didn’t visit my parents very often after that marriage. Here’s why: I was raised to believe it was rude to invite myself over. So I’d call to say hi, but was politely waiting for an invitation that didn’t come.

A year after my marriage, my mother commented that I rarely visit. I told her I was waiting to be invited. She was stunned.

She never considered that possibility because I am her daughter and am welcome anytime. Once this was cleared up, I started visiting more. -- Love My Mom Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

May 15, 1989 September 9, 2012 God only takes the best!

A heart of gold stopped beating, Two shining eyes at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us, but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, the day He took you home.

My heart still aches in sadness, and secret tears still flow.

What it means to lose you, No one will ever know.

Forever loved, forever missed.

October 15, 1931 - August 24, 2014

At the age of 82, Murray passed on in his home surrounded by many of those he loved. He is treasured by his wife Lucille, his children, and his many friends. We grieve the loss of a generous husband, caring father, patient grandfather, and kind friend.

Despite the palliative diagnosis of cancer, Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive attitude and sense of humour prolonged his life. With the support of the B.C. Cancer Agency (Center for the North), UHNBC, Mackenzie and District Hospital, and the wonderful caring people that he met during his journey, he was able to maintain an incredible quality of life until very near the end. Murray was grateful for all the people he met during his numerous medical procedures.

Born in Kimberley, Murray moved around Canada as his father was employed by Cominco. Murray begrudgingly attended many one room school houses in numerous mining towns. At the age of 18 he enlisted in the Canadian Air Force and was stationed in Moose Jaw where he completed his service. While stationed there, Murray met and married his first wife, Marion in 1955. They had two children, Phil and Patti. Marion passed on in 1991.

After the services, Murray worked and became a long term employee of Cominco. He worked in Trail at the smelter and then at the Sullivan Mine in Kimberley.

Murray purchased a trapline in 1980 in the Misinchinka Valley and prepared to pursue his lifelong dream of self-reliance, which was to live full time on a trapline. In 1986 he retired to the trapline at the age of 55.

In 1993, Murray married Lucille Dugan, a longtime resident of McLeod Lake, B.C. While at first overwhelmed by her four children, Julie-Ann, Diane, Roger, and Martin, close relationships soon developed.

Together they enjoyed living life to the fullest.

A celebration of life was held on Saturday, August 30, 2014 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Mackenzie, BC. Any donations in memory of Murray can be made to Canuck Place or to a charity of your choice.
