RDEK collects toxic waste for disposal TREVOR CRAWLEY Townsman Staff

The region’s first household hazardous waste roundup was a success over the weekend, as over 450 people utilized the occasion to get rid of toxins, poisons and other

wastes.

Organized by the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK), sites were held in Fernie and Invermere on Saturday and Cranbrook on Sunday, as RDEK staff and Newalta employees received

all kinds of hazardous material for proper disposal.

“It was great to see the participation in the event and even better to know that we were able to get some of those toxic materials out of people’s basements and off for proper

disposal and recycling,” said Loree Duczek, Communications Manager for the RDEK. It was a chance for people to safely get rid of any hazardous material, and there was plenty of it.

Common items included

paint, oil and household cleaners, while other more unusual material included a jar of mercury that had been kicking around since the 1960s to a 45-gallon drum of what Duczek could only refer to as ‘mystery liquid’.

“They had purchased a home and this had been left behind,” said Duczek. “One of them thought it was full of freon, but they weren’t sure because it wasn’t theirs, so we had several large drums of what I can best describe as ‘mystery liquid’.

“We had lots of gas and some acids, and there was just a great range of different products that came in, which was great to see because that’s exactly the reason we had those events, which was to try to get those difficult-to-dispose-of items out of people’s yards and out of their houses and basements into the proper hands for proper disposal.”

IRON MAN TOURNAMENT SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH

A new traffic lights system controlled by computers and cameras has been installed and is running for the first time in Cranbrook.

The intersection of Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street South is now fully equipped with the new system that seems to be moving traffic along at a steady pace. The city provided a tour to local media on Tuesday afternoon, and traffic seemed to flow effortlessly through the intersection in all directions.

Artwork brightens young patients’ visits Arne P e trys hen Townsman Staff

A new mural is brightening up one pediatrician’s office in Cranbrook.

Dr. Jason Feniak asked local artist Kirsten Taylor to paint a mural on his office walls and the artwork has been thrilling kids who visited the office ever since.

“The kids love it,” Dr. Feniak said. “And the parents do too.”

Feniak said he couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out.

“It’s far beyond what I originally imagined and it’s so much better than I originally imagined too,” Feniak said.

Taylor recently completed the project which she has been working on since May. Taylor said her goal was to make kids comfortable in a doctor’s office.

Feniak requested a jungle theme, and liked the animals in one of Taylor’s earlier pieces, located in the Cranbrook in the library.

The animals take on a look of their own in the painting.

“They are not cartoony at all,” Taylor explained. “They are realistic, but they are not. The colours that I used in his office are all really bright and fun and colourful. But they are pretty detailed — you can see their fur and all their eyes are unique to each animal. They are all kind of made up on their own. I don’t really copy an image. I look at some reference, but then I make up my own animal, so they’re all specific to me I guess.”

Taylor is from Cranbrook originally, but spent a number of years in art school. Aside from her work as an artist, she holds a

degree in graphic design.

“I’ve always liked illustration and painting by hand,” she said.

“Even though I prefer the hands on approach to things, I still do design work.”

She also works as an art teacher.

Taylor said in terms of her art, the biggest project she’s done so far was the butterfly mural that used to be on the strip.

That mural was covered painted over years ago — it used to be on the building that now houses Brothers Insurance.

She also redesigned the front of Sakura restaurant downtown.

“Then I have a painting in Lotus books that was commissioned about ten years ago,” she said.

In Kimberley she designed and helped paint the graphics at the Spirit Rock Climbing Gym last fall.

New lights system helps traffic flow Continued from page 1 The intersection uses a complex computer system that automatically sees vehicles as they pull up to the intersection. A screen within the nearby electrical box shows a live feed of the intersection. Over each lane there is a grey box superimposed and as a car or truck or even motorcycle enters the lane area green arrows appear over the box, signalling the system to change the lights.

It’s all quite a detour from the old system of large sensor rings that are imbedded in the asphalt in the lanes.

Tony Hetu, City Electrician and Trades Manager, said the upgrade was one that was greatly needed as the infrastructure was first installed in the ‘90s. The life cycle of the equipment is usually 15-20 years, so the upgrade is well overdue.

“For the old system, all the sensors are in the road, so what would happen in the winter with all the

moisture, they were starting to fail,” Hetu said. “They are about the same age as our intersections. So we were looking at an upgrade. The cameras were basically the same cost as replacing the old system. I think it’s far superior.”

Hetu said the cost all-in for the new system was about $25,000. He noted that the cost for a contractor to put in a single sensor ring can be $4,000 and that particular intersection has nine of them, one for each lane.

Hetu said the main reason they went with that intersection as the first one was its proximity to the fire hall. The lights also have a system that can be controlled from the fire hall, as well as a GPS beacon on the firetruck, that allows the firetruck to have right of way through the intersection and stop other traffic.

It is also one of the busiest in town. He noted that all of the highway corridor traffic lights are under the jurisdiction Ministry of Trans-

portation and Infrastructure.

Minus those intersections, there are nine total in the city, and seven of those are still on the old weight sensor system.

Hetu said the cameras actually require less technological devices than the old sensors.

“The old sensors we would have route detectors for every single lane,” he said.

There are also safeties that puts the whole system into four way flashing if there is a failure.

Hetu said with the system it’s not possible to have green lights simultaneously in different directions, even in the event of a failure.

The city will began work on the Victoria and 2nd Street North to switch on the new system. The cameras are already installed above the traffic lights.

A wireless ethernet connection allows the Trades department at the city to see any issues with the lights, as well as compile stats about traffic counts and usage.

Hazardous material roundup a success: RDEK Continued from page 1 Used oil and gas proved to be a popular item, but there are actually year-round depots where those materials can be safely disposed of, according to Duczek.

Though not under the jurisdiction of the RDEK, the B.C. government has provincial stewardship programs in the region, including Cranbrook and Kimberley.

“They cover everything from paint, oils, batteries, electric toothbrushes, scales, stereo systems. There are a number of different programs hundreds of different products that can be recycled in the East Kootenay,” Duczek said.

For example, Duczek said that paint can be recycled at the bottle depot in Cranbrook, while New and Nearly New in Kimberley has the same service.

For used oil and oil filters, Great Canadian

Oil Change, Canadian Tire, Petro-Canada, Alpine Toyota and Denham Ford will handle it, while Equicare Mechanical will do the same in Kimberley.

“We certainly want people to be aware of them because if they don’t know, they’ll likely end up in the landfill, and we don’t want to see that, so we’ll definitely continue to try to get the word out,” Duczek added.

The subject of ecofees may be touchy for some people, but the revenue generated from the fees go right back into the stewardship program that enables the safe and environmentally-friendly disposal of those kinds of materials, she continued.

The RDEK expects to have a summary of the waste types and volumes collected at all three sites by early next week.

The RDEK held a hazardous material roundup over the weekend at three sites in Fernie, Invermere and Cranbrook. Common items included oil, gas and household cleaning products—all of which will be disposed of or recycled in an environmentallyfriendly manner.

Fundraising and the power of social media Nephew of local dentist harnassing power of Facebook in his battle against chronic Lyme disease

T

he power of the internet is truly amazing.

It has revolutionized the way we interact and communicate with each other, especially with rise of social media and the phenomenon of content going viral.

I’m always surprised at what goes viral.

It could be something as silly as a Youtube video of a man named Leroy Jenkins playing a computer game while screaming as he charges in a group of enemies. 40 million views last I checked.

It could be something more serious, such as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, which recently lit up social media in the summer as people challenged each other to dump ice cold water on themselves to fundraise and raise awareness for ALS. Viral campaigns are also a slick marketing tool.

Everyone likes to think that the famous selfie snapped by Ellen Degeneres and celebrity friends at the 2014 Academy Awards was a spur of the moment affair, but it later came out that it was part of a mar-

keting ploy by Samsung.

It has since become the most retweeted tweet ever at 3,288,900, as of Tuesday, Sept. 23.

Not bad exposure for the South Korean tech giant.

Viral campaigns are great for raising awareness for various causes, but it’s also great for fundraising, as often the two go hand in hand.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is a great example.

As of today, the ALS Association has pulled in over $100 million because of the Ice Bucket Challenge campaign.

At the same period last year, the ALSA had raised $2.8 million.

A Toronto-area man with a local connection is hoping to harness the power of that kind of internet fundraising with an online auction through social media.

Brad Clark, nephew of local dentist John Nesbitt, is utilizing Facebook to benefit from an online auction that is raising money for chronic Lyme disease treatments, which will be split between himself and another patient.

Clark is battling chronic Lyme disease,

TRAFFIC INTERRRUPTION Updates being made to the traffic signals at Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street North in Cranbrook will mean the signals will be not operating on Wednesday September 24, Thursday September 25 and Friday September 26, 2014.

Motorists using the intersection of Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street North by Western Financial Place during this period are advised that this intersection will be designated a fourway stop 24 hours per day for the duration of the work.

Temporary stop signs will be in place.

The updates to the intersection being made by Public Works include the installation of new traffic flow cameras and a new computer operating system.

The City of Cranbrook apologizes for any inconvenience the work may cause.

Trevor Crawley which causes lingering symptoms of fatigue, pain or joint and muscle pain.

The auction, titled ‘Online Fundraising Auction for Medical Treatments benefiting Christina and Brad’ starts on Oct. 1 at noon and end on Oct 2 at 8 p.m.

“People just log on and place bids on the products or items that we have and services, and bids will go up by increments of one dollar and all proceeds go to myself and Christina to help pay for treatments for Lyme disease and Fibromyalgia,” Clark said, in an interview from Toronto.

Clark said he’s spent thousands and thousands of dollars over 10 years to pay for treatments, which puts a strain on finances. An online auction seemed like a good idea to help

offset those costs, he said.

“We’ve been looking for ways to creatively generate money to help pay for these treatments and the online auction just kind of made sense to all of us,” Clark said.

Nesbitt has donated dental services to the auction, such as dental bleaching, polish fluoride and scaling, all adding up to $700. Other people across Canada and the U.S. have jumped on the campaign, donating different products and services as well.

“There are all kinds of people who have donated amazing things, including a bed and breakfast in Seattle for two nights, valued at $480 I think, and even complete strangers who are donating stuff to us,” Clark said.

“The generosity has been really humbling, it’s been an amazing experience.”

Clark has been battling chronic Lyme disease for many years, but has recently found success with treatment at the Sofia Health Insti-

tute in Seattle. Clark was having difficulty finding effective treatment in Canada, but saw how effective the results were for another patient at the institute.

“I basically dropped everything I was doing at the time, because nothing was working, and made the trip [to Sofia Health Institute],” he said.

Treatment is once every four months, and he’s already been down for two sessions.

“They put you on many different supple-

ments to support the body to help it heal itself,” Clark said. “They also focus on helping the body to eliminate heavy metals and toxicity, so they focus on mercury, lead, aluminum detoxification and there are several supplications to aid that process.

“They’re finding that a lot of people who are chronically ill are polluted with these heavy metals.”

So far, treatment seems to be working, he added.

“I am now able to go

for walks and dress myself and brush my teeth and do all the things that I think a lot of people take for granted,” Clark said, “but it was pretty scary there with my fatigue and weakness. It got pretty crippling.”

Once the auction is done, prize donors or the organizer, Mary Ellen Hamilton, will ship their item to the winner. Payment options are listed on the Facebook page.

was driving down a backcountry road, into the mountains, with my old pails of mercury in the back of my pickup. They were taking up too much space in the shed, so we were getting rid of them. Suddenly my wife spoke up.

“You know, they are having that toxic waste round-up at the transfer station today,” she said. “We could have just taken this stuff there.”

“Look,” I shouted. “We’ve already talked about this. You expect us to drive all the way to the transfer station, pay all that money?”

“But the toxic waste round-up is free,” my wife said. “And right in town. Instead, we’re driving all these miles out to where we dumped our old airstream trailer. Remember how hard it was to get it off the road into the woods?”

“We’ve been over this,” I shouted. “The RDEK wants us to take our trash to their site, to separate our recycling according to how they want it. No glass with paper!

What’s with that!

“That’s just Communism!” I shouted.

“All right, all right, calm down,” my wife said.

We got to the spot where we’d dumped our airstream the year before. I was going to put the jugs of mercury into the trailer, but I was getting tired, so I just dumped them beside the road. “The heck with it,” I said.

“It almost seems a shame,” my wife said. “This is such a pretty place.”

“Listen,” I shouted. “I’ve told you this a thousand times! This is our backcountry!

We developed this backcountry, we defended this backcountry! You think the

government’s going to tell what we can’t do with this backcountry? This is our backcountry!” I shouted again.

“All right, all right, calm down,” my wife said.

Two days later, we drove up into the Cranbrook Community Forest with a big load of garbage — seven bags, which I’d been hanging onto a little too long, because the City only picks up three bags at a time. This still made me really angry.

“How dare they!” I shouted. “I pay my taxes in Cranbrook! I pay my taxes in the RDEK! Now they tell me they’re not going to pick up all the garbage!” I’d already written letters to various elected officials, but these were ignored. This, of course, made me crazy.

“How dare they!” I shouted.

“I think,” my wife said, “that it’s illegal to dump garbage in the Community Forest. Besides, it’s such a pretty place. And the transfer station is just right there.”

“You think I’m waiting in line? You think I’m going to wait there in line, with all this stinking garbage?” I shouted. “Like some socialistic serf?”

“All right, all right, calm down,” my wife said.

I pulled over and threw the rotting bags of garbage into the trees of the Community Forest. I still had all my old fluorescent light bulbs in the back of the truck, that I hadn’t known what to do with, so I threw them out too. They made a satisfying smashing sound.

The next weekend, I made my wife help me load our barrel of PCBs, that we’d been saving in case of an emergency. It was taking up too much space in the shed.

“We don’t have much gas,” I said. “We’ll

just go a little ways out of town. Maybe Elizabeth Lake.”

“You know there are companies, here in town, that will take this extremely toxic waste off our hands, so that it doesn’t pollute,” she said.

“How many times do I gotta tell you!” I shouted. “So you think it’s okay to take my toxic waste and not pay me a dime? And then they’re gonna turn around and make money off my toxic waste? You think that’s fair! No way!”

“All right, all right, calm down,” my wife said.

I pulled over to the roadside so I could shake my finger at her. “That’s what’s wrong with society today!” I shouted.

A few days later, I loaded up all that old ordinance I’d been saving — my unexploded second world war bomb, my box of hand grenades, and the small sidewinder missile I’d bought on EBay. I’d been waiting for it to appreciate in value, but it was taking up too much space in the basement.

We loaded it into the truck and drove off — Community Forest again, up behind the golf course. I brought tools in case I had to jimmy a barrier or cut through a fence.

“It seems a shame,” my wife said, “that with the Canadian military begging even the war museum for spare parts …”

“We’ve been over this already!” I shouted …

Pet degrees

Opinion/features Letters to the Editor

It never ceases to amaze me that when temperatures fall a few degrees that people are so naive as to believe that it is safe to leave pets or children in vehicles with all the windows closed tightly.

For example, several days ago, around 11 a.m., with temperatures hovering in the low twenties, I witnessed a lady, lock up her car, ensuring all the windows were closed and leave a small dog in her car while she went into the grocery store to shop.

I caught up to her and very politely asked if she realized she had left her pet with all the car windows closed? Her reply, “it’s okay, it’s cool enough. I won’t be long!”

I challenge this lady and other like -minded people to sit in their car with ev-

erything closed up tightly, in the full sun at those temps, for fifteen or twenty minutes and afterward tell me that they feel fine or that it was not uncomfortably hot.

Come on people use your loafs, take proper precautions before we have to witness/or hear of another senseless death, a death which could have easily been prevented!

his week marks the 70th Anniversary of the infamous Operation Market Garden, one of the most humiliating defeats suffered by the Allies during the latter phases of the European Theatre of World War II. Fought between 17-25 September 1944, Operation Market Garden was an over-ambitious plan hatched by British Field-Marshal Bernard Montgomery (aka “Monty”) to punch a hole through German lines in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands, establish a bridgehead across the Rhine River via massive airborne paratrooper assaults, and drive headlong to Berlin along a seemingly open path, capturing Germany’s vital Ruhr industrial centre en route.

It didn’t happen that way.

Montgomery, ever the self-absorbed egotistical go-getter (on par with US General George Patton), had much reason to believe in the plan’s success. Following the Allied invasion of Normandy (“DDay;” 6 June 1944) and the breakout of the Normandy bridgehead, the combat-weary German panzergrenadier divisions were routed in the battle of the Falaise Pocket, which sent the shattered remnants of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS reeling out of France and back into the Low Countries.

Over-optimistic Allied intelligence assumed that Hitler, also losing alarming ground on both the Russian and Italian fronts, his industrial output disrupted by unstoppable Allied bombing campaigns, unable to supply his forces with adequate oil, ammunition, and reinforcements, would also be unable to regroup the Wehrmacht in Holland and stop Montgomery’s promise: that the war would be over by Christmas 1944.

Montgomery did not reckon with the combined tactical genius of no less than three of Hitler’s most brilliant commanders: Gerd von Rundstedt, admired by friend and foe alike for his quick cunning; Walther Model, nicknamed “Hitler’s Fireman” for his counterattacking skills; and Kurt Student, grand architect of paratrooper concepts (proven with the Axis capture of Crete). All three men were rushed to Holland to collect the shattered Axis forces and anticipate Montgomery’s next move. All three had spent the previous 18 months bitterly rethinking a vast war that had turned against Hitler, and learning to hold their ground with their backs to the wall, undermanned and undersupplied. And there they awaited the Allies.

Operation Market Garden’s main objec-

British troops in combat during Operation Market Garden. tives called for circumventing the German “Siegfried Line” defensive wall by a massive air-drop of over 40,000 British and American paratroopers, who would capture a series of strategic canal/river bridges around the Dutch cities of Arnhem, Nijmegen and Eindhoven; combined Allied armored and infantry divisions would then pierce deep into the Dutch countryside to the German border.

Despite initial successes after the first air-drops, the reorganized and re-disciplined Wehrmacht infantry battalions delivered devastating counter-blows which startled and surprised the Allied High Command; soon, the Allied airborne units were trapped within scattered, unconnected drop-zone pockets with seemingly no way out. After several days of vicious, confused fighting, the frustrated Montgomery grimly admitted that Market Garden was unviable, and ordered a tactical withdrawal of his 1st Airborne Division … but how?

Enter the Canadians. The 20th & 23rd Field Company of the Royal Canadian Engineers (initially assigned within Market Garden’s formations to capture the bridges and disarm potential German demolition attempts), the only British Commonwealth units trained in the use of the motorized stormboats used to cross the canals, braved murderous German fire to ferry trapped companies of the British 1st Airborne Division out of the failing drop-zone pockets.

Major Michael Tucker and Lieutenant Russell Kennedy (both of whom commanded the withdrawal efforts) deserve as much

File

remembrance for their efforts to salvage heroism from defeat — as much as Lt-Colonel John Frost (whose name adorns the Rhine bridge at Arnhem). British Empire thinking of the time (and that of Cornelius Ryan, author of “A Bridge Too Far”) has downplayed (and downright ignored) the Canadian contribution to Operation Market Garden; had the Allied planning been better, it is certain the Canadian forces would have performed as outstanding as they did throughout autumn 1944 and beyond; Canadian troops are still admired today for their leading role in the liberation of the Netherlands (and the famine relief for the downtrodden Dutch civilians starving under Nazi rule).

The aftermath of Operation Market Garden (144 aircraft lost, 88 armored vehicles destroyed, and over 17,000 casualties — in five days) was solid, sober proof that the Nazis were far from beaten. This would be proven again in the weeks and months to come, with horrific fighting through the Huertgen Forest and the Ardennes Offensive (the “Battle of the Bulge”). Solid coordination between the Allied units took angry months to straighten out; not until March 1945 was the Rhine River finally crossed for real and the western drive into Nazi Germany begun in earnest. Due to the agonizing delay, the capture of Berlin went to the Russians, and the resulting post-war tensions between distrustful allies stained the world until the end of the 1980s.

The Canadians were there when the Allies went a bridge too far. Lest we forget.

Avalanche of fresh talent College of the Rockies women’s volleyball full of new faces; ready for redemption Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The College of the Rockies Avalanche women’s volleyball team is ready to put a disappointing 2013-14 campaign in the past as they prepare to hit the court for their first action of the fall.

The Avalanche host the Lethbridge College Kodiaks, SAIT Trojans and Ambrose University Lions in pre-season tournament play beginning Friday at College of the Rockies.

“This year we’ve got the offense, now it’s about putting the defence in to make it all click together,” said Avalanche women’s volleyball coach Andrew Zurrin following practice Tuesday night at College of the Rockies. “Last year, we were lacking offensive finish and a little bit of defence. We solved two big problems of setting and libero [in the off-season] so those are huge upgrades.”

Competing in the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PACWEST), the Avalanche finished outside the top six in the province and missed out on the 2014 volleyball championships.

The Avalanche will put forth a refreshed,

young roster in 2014-15, with nine first year players on the squad, including Cranbrook’s Alyssa Rundberg (left side/libero). The rookies will be thrown right into the mix Friday when the Avalanche face the Kodiaks at 11 a.m. in the tournament opener.

“It’s about getting all the rookies game time, getting them past the jitters,” Zurrin said. “Seeing the college level, seeing the bigger players and getting them past that [fear] so they can see it and say, ‘I can play this level.’ They can. Now they have to see it. Exhibition is huge for that.

“The vets, I’m not even worried about.

They’re probably going to play 30 per cent of the time. The rookies are playing 70 [per cent].”

With five veteran players on the squad, Zurrin is confident he has the right mix to get his team back into the conversation.

The contingent of returners includes Cranbrook’s own Allison Pepper (middle), winner of the 2014 Avalanche Award, 2014 Most Improved Player Madison Hudy (middle) and Kelsey Thompson (left side), 2014 team MVP and Best Offensive Player.

“We’ve got a really strong team coming in [to the season],” said Hudy, a graduate of Bishop Carroll High School in Calgary. “[We’ve got] a lot of new players but a lot of players who are determined and want to play strong out there.

“If we stick together as one team as opposed to being individuals [on the court], we’re going to find a lot of success.”

The veteran strength doesn’t end with Pepper, Hudy and Thompson. Jayden Roch (right side) returns for her second season with the Avalanche after claiming Rookie of the Year honours in 2014. Corissa Mildenberger (left/right side) rounds out the group.

Apart from Rundberg, Kara Froese (middle) is the only other newcomer from B.C., joining the Avalanche from Abbotsford. The rest of the rookies hail from Alberta. Ashleigh Noel (setter), Makenzie Morey (left side/libero) and Taylor Forster (middle) come to Cranbrook via Calgary. Caity Rook (Cochrane), Alexa Koshman (Lethbridge), Kendra Hainsworth (Sylvan Lake) and Ari Benwell (Okotoks) round out the freshman crew.

“Just show them what I would do on the court or help them if they have questions,” Thompson said in regards to helping the younger group transition into the college game. “[The biggest challenge] is going to be playing consistent through all our matches…Passing and defence is what we need to work on [in order to find that consistency].”

Zurrin’s group has been practicing since the last week of August in preparation for this weekend.

“We practice four times a week and I believe in doing a lot of learning and changing on the athletes,” Zurrin said. “Whatever [knowledge] you came in with, that’s your base. Now we’re going to add a lot of things to make you a college-level player.”

The Avalanche hit the court twice Friday, including a 7:30 p.m. primetime ticket against the Ambrose University Lions, before closing out round-robin play at 11 a.m. Saturday morning against the SAIT Trojans.

PACWEST play begins Oct. 23 when the Avalanche travel to the Lower Mainland to face the Columbia Bible College Bearcats.

Hold on, hockey fans

Thursday, September 25, 2014

Sports

Our game isn’t as perfect as you want to believe

Taylor Rocca In the world of North American sport, there isn’t one particular professional pursuit that doesn’t come with its baggage.

The National Football League is rife with domestic violence charges, substance abuse problems and more. Ray Rice, Josh Gordon and even the memory of recently deceased former NFLer Rob Bironas was tarnished with a dark side.

Major League Baseball, America’s national pastime, is still embattled with the scars of the so-called “Steroid Era.” Ryan Braun was once the poster boy for the new clean era of MLB until he too joined the likes of Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa and Jose Canseco.

Last season, the National Basketball Association was picked apart by the regrettable racial remarks made by Donald Sterling, former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

Meanwhile, hockey fans sit and point fingers at the atrocities committed by those connected to the other major North American sports, while failing to realize the follies within their own game.

In the darkness of night, racism’s ugly head reared itself high Tuesday evening after both the Vancouver Province and Vancouver Sun published a photo of Vancouver Canucks’ prospect Jordan Subban, accompanied by a cutline identifying the 19-year-old defenceman as the “dark guy in the middle.”

The cutline was removed, but not before outraged hockey fans, journalists and editors could express their disappointment.

Early Wednesday, both Vancouver dailies tweeted their apologies.

“The Province regrets an insensitive description of Canuck Jordan Subban in a photo caption on our website last night,” The Province communicated through two tweets. “We apologize to Subban, the Canucks and their fans for any offence. We are examining our process to ensure it can never happen again.”

“Last night we ran a photo caption that should never have been written, let alone run online. We apologize to @jordansubban,” The Sun communicated through two tweets.

“The Sun is looking into this so we can make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Subban had scored his first NHL goal during pre-season play Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the NHL hopeful was instead answering questions about the photo caption Wednesday morning. He played off the incident with class, telling The Province’s Ben Kuzma that “it seemed like a pretty honest mistake.”

The unfortunate reality is racism still exists within the world of Canada’s national pastime — on the ice, in the stands, and in the world surrounding it.

You might argue this isn’t a problem the National Hockey League should be worried about, rather an issue for The Province and The Sun to take care of.

The sad state of reality is it is indicative of a problem within the game we all should be concerned with.

During the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Boston Bruins. Throughout that series, Habs rearguard P.K. Subban (Jordan Subban’s older brother) was hit with a wave of racist remarks via social media channels such as Twitter.

During the 2011 NHL pre-season, a fan threw a banana at Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds.

In his playing days, current Philadelphia Flyers head coach Craig Berube was suspended for one game after he called former Florida Panthers forward Peter Worrell a “monkey.”

Those are just a few examples of the heavy discriminatory baggage weighing down the world of the National Hockey League.

Racism and discrimination have absolutely no place within our society, let alone within Canada’s beautiful game. I would like to believe we, as a society, have made significant strides when it comes to the acceptance of everyone we share this world with, regardless of size, shape, skin colour, sexual orientation or other uniquely identifying characteristic.

As much as the National Hockey League is the custodian for the professional game of hockey in North America, each one of us holds care-taking responsibilities for the game as well.

Just as players develop their skills and abilities at the grassroots level, the attitudes and culture of the sport are polished there too, by both fans and players.

As fans of the game, we have a responsibility to help abolish the existence of this atrocious behaviour within our sport. No matter how heated the competition, no matter how high the stakes, and regardless of the depth of your fandom, it is on all of us to eradicate discrimination from hockey, and all facets of society.

One day, we will wake up to a sports story celebrating a player scoring his first National Hockey League goal, rather than a story of outrage at the inconsiderate and thoughtless racial actions surrounding it.

Jordan Subban, I hope you remember your first National Hockey League goal for what it was — a great accomplishment representative of the years of blood, sweat and tears given to the game of hockey — and not for what was being talked about around hockey circles and newsrooms today.

Though I don’t expect North American professional sport to ever truly rid itself of all it carries, I do dream of a day where racism and discrimination are no longer found within that baggage.

Cranbrook Women’s Rec Hockey League returns Julia Br annigan

Going fast and hitting stuff makes me feel good.

I don’t do it driving my kids to school or navigating the aisles at Safeway but weaving down a sheet of ice with a puck on my stick and shoving my way to the net gives me a buzz.

Playing in the Cranbrook Women’s Rec Hockey League I get my adrenalin fix once or

twice a week all winter long.

It keeps me sane, fit and in-touch with great women who support each other on-ice and off.

Along with league games, there’s opportunity for tournament play... And entrance into a unique world filled with the thrill of competition, belly crunching laughs and rowdy nights

on the town.

One of my favourite tourneys is a December Whitefish trip. It’s the perfect opportunity for a pre-Christmas Costco run, and a great place to let off steam.

Any women wanting to play hockey and/or have a great time can register at the Player’s Bench or email Jean at gterpsma@gmail.com for more information.

Hurricanes J. Staal breaks leg in pre-season John Wawrow Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Carolina Hurricanes centre Jordan Staal broke his lower right leg in a preseason game at Buffalo Tuesday night, general manager Ron Francis said.

Staal returned to Raleigh, N.C. with the team Wednesday and will be evaluated by team doctors today. Francis said he didn’t have a timetable for Staal’s recovery.

Staal had initial tests taken immediately fol-

lowing the injury.

“I’m concerned for sure. He’s a big piece of what we’re going to do moving forward,’’ new coach Bill Peters said before learning of the severity of the injury.

Staal was hurt on an innocent play with 6:35 left in the third period.

He was skating up the right boards inside the Sabres zone when he was checked by D Josh Gorges. Staal fell to the ice and lay on his side before play was stopped.

A trainer attended to

Staal, who needed help to get up. He was unable to put any weight on his leg while being escorted off the ice.

About 20 minutes after the game, Staal was on crutches with his right leg elevated as he made his way to the locker room.

Staal is a solid twoway player who is entering his third season in Carolina. He is a fourtime 20-goal scorer, and finished fifth among Hurricanes last season with 40 points.

You are invited to attend the public information 1 Tamarack open house regarding the ‘City of Cranbrook Cease Fluoridation Bylaw No. 3799, 2014’ electoral assent question as part of the 2014 Municipal Election.

When: Thursday October 23, 2014 – 7:00pm to 9:00pm MT Where: Manual Training School, 1212 2nd Street North, next to the Cranbrook Public Library The City of Cranbrook is informing residents about the water system and water fluoridation and is hosting this public open house. All are invited to this free event.

Beginning promptly at 7:00pm, Canadian health experts on both sides of the fluoride debate will address the public with the presentation being moderated by David Walls, President and CEO of the College of the Rockies. The speakers will then 14 14th Avenue be available to meet the public and the media to respond to questions for the remainder of the evening. The speakers are: • Dr. Alastair Nicoll of the BC Dental Association and an area dentist who will discuss the advantages of adding fluoride to the public water system.

• Dr. James Beck, Professor Emeritus for Medical Biophysics at the University of Calgary and coauthor of ‘ The Case Against Fluoride’, who is a vocal advocate for removing fluoride from the water system.

Strategies for proper pruning

Is old man winter giving you the draft?

Seal him out with

Fall pruning can stimulate growth in plants preparing for winter dormancy, threatening their ability to return next spring and summer.

As the leaves fall off the trees and greenery thins out for the season, exposing branches and undergrowth along the way, homeowners may be tempted to prune their trees and shrubs.

But while autumn pruning may seem like a good idea, many gardening experts say it is often best for homeowners to wait until winter or early spring before pruning.

Although pruning does thin out branches and tame spent blooms, which can be eyesores, pruning also stimulates new growth. Pruning in the autumn, when plants are naturally preparing to go dormant, can weaken the plants considerably.

This can compromise their chances of surviving into the next growing season.

Fall temperatures also can be deceiving. While it may be warm during the day when the sun is shining, temperatures can quickly drop overnight. Pruning during the warmth of day, when the sap has risen in the plants, may deplete energy from the plant.

When the mercury drops at night, the plant can suffer.

If you must spend time in the yard in the fall, tend to the leaves and debris that have already fallen to the ground rather than focusing energy on fall pruning. If you have been diligent during the spring and summer, your shrubs and other plants likely won’t need pruning at this time of year.

with diseased plants.

Otherwise you risk spreading disease to healthy plants. * Cut back stems completely. It’s usually a good idea to prune branches back to the main stem. Leaving a portion sticking out can catch on people or animals and produce a gathering spot for bacteria and insects.

Chances are you won’t prune too much as well, as chilly temperatures will keep you from spending too much time outdoors.

When it’s time to prune, consider these other pointers. * Keep tools clean and in good working order.

You risk injury if your tools are dull and in poor shape overall.

Spend time sharpening pruners and keep manual tools oiled and clean. Debris can lodge itself in clippers, making it more difficult to open and shut them. Wash and dry tools after use, especially when dealing

Do not prune when plants are wet. Pruning damp plants encourages the growth of microbes that can infiltrate the plant. This is not as significant a problem in the winter, when microbes have already been killed.

* Ask an expert. If you are unsure of how and when to prune particular plants, consult with an expert at a nursery or wherever you buy your plants.

The miracle on the wall: Part II B r e n da B a b i n s k i

Early one Sunday morning in Nately, Nova Scotia — a town too small for a movie theater — the inhabitants awake to find that their small town has just been blessed with a major tourist attraction.

A miraculous image appears on the side of the local Tim Horton’s coffee shop and this seemingly heaven sent sign is greeted by a colorful cast of characters whose reactions run the gamut from blind faith to wry cynicism.

Written by Canadian playwright Josh MacDonald and directed by Hamber Award winner, Terry Miller, Halo delves into the nature of hope, religion, blind faith and human relationships. Playing selected dates from October 10 to 25 at the Studio, Stage Door, Halo is a richly written look at small town life.

Casey, (Alexa LaingMoore) is a disgruntled Tim Horton’s employee who is suddenly faced with an onslaught of sightseers, all eager for

Sightseers are agog and akimbo at the strange sights of “Halo.” a glimpse of the “miracle”. Her newly devout boyfriend Jansen (David Webb) tries to convince her of the sanctity of the event while her friend and local priest, JJ (Jerrod Bondy) senses there is more to the “miracle” than meets the eye.

A humorous parade of visitors (played by Peter Schalk and Hannah van der Roest in multiple madcap roles) attend the Tim Hortons “miracle”. Meanwhile

across town a man sits vigil at his youngest daughter’s side. Donald McMullin (Bob McCue) and his older daughter Lizzie (Zoe Dupley) face hope, heartbreak and a potential miracle of their own.

Be sure to catch this funny and moving account of small town life, hope, faith and miracles at the Studio Stage Door, October 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24 & 25. Tickets available at Lotus Books.

Ninth Annual

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Someone could compare you to lightning: nearly impossible to stop, with flashes of great ideas.

A partner or friend could have a problem dealing with your sparkle and energy. Be gracious about any negative comments.

Tonight: Be sensitive to a loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others often expect a lot from you, whether or not you are willing to give it. Your caring could move a personal matter past a problem and help the other party realize that the situation might not be as bad as he or she believes it to be. Tonight: Pace yourself, but make time for the gym.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your imagination could go to extremes as you attempt to infuse a situation with a little more fun and creativity. Understand what is happening with a child or loved one. This person really thrives with your attention, support and caring.

Tonight: Pretend that it’s the weekend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Staying close to home might not be as pleasant as you would like. It is likely that someone you need to respond to will demand your feedback, if not your presence. Curb a tendency to go overboard with spending.

Tonight: Happiest at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your personality will come out in a presentation or when having a discussion with a loved one. You will be more open to unexpected solutions than to traditional ones. Make sure to return all calls. Tonight: You can be found wherever the action is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Sometimes you underestimate how much you have to offer.

You could feel as if no one is listening to you. Just because you do not receive the rousing response you desire, it does not mean that you were not heard.

Have patience, please. Tonight: Your treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Avoid being scattered at all

Tundra

costs. You might need to place limits on a situation that could irk you or cause you a problem.

Your friends will be a major distraction, but one that you will appreciate. Say “yes” to the moment. Tonight: Just don’t be alone!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be inordinately tired, as all the happenings around you could drain you far more than you realize. Try not to overreact. In fact, pull back if you suspect you are withered! Go for a walk, and handle important matters later. Tonight: Make tonight just for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to use some of your high energy to help a child or loved one who could be off-kilter. You seem to find solutions where others cannot.

Be direct in how you deal with a loved one. Spontaneity is the only path. Tonight: Out and about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be aware of your limits when dealing with a boss, friend or older relative. You could be

taken aback by this person’s requests. Someone close, perhaps a family member, will chime right in and make a situation better than it has been. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take an overview, and understand where others are coming from. Otherwise, what you see happening will make little to no sense. You might just decide to cut off a conversation with a difficult person. Tonight: Have a leisurely visit with a loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will get a better sense of where someone else is coming from. You could discover that a loved one simply might be reacting to you. Laughter will energize both of you and allow more fun. Count your change carefully. Tonight: Go with someone else’s choice.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for four years. We were high school sweethearts. We were both briefly married to other people before reuniting, and my husband has a child from his first marriage. My husband was raised by his grandparents, but when he was a teenager, he was introduced to his father and moved in with Dad, his new wife and their child.

They had a close relationship, but it seems over now.

It has been six months since we have seen or heard from my in-laws, even though they live in the same city. They often visit their other son, who lives a mile away, but they never come to see us. They say we are welcome anytime, but never phone, text or invite us to family gatherings. My husband works out of town a lot, and I feel awkward showing up at their home without him.

Also a little disturbing is that they remain close with my husband’s ex-wife, which is great for my stepson. But if they can put so much effort into having a relationship with her (and her boyfriend), why not their own son?

Should we address this issue or let it be?

-- Feeling Ousted by In-Laws Dear Ousted: The issue should be addressed, but not by you. Your husband should speak up and ask his parents what’s going on. It could be that the ex-wife has asked them to limit contact as a condition of seeing their grandson. Or perhaps your mother-in-law is closer to her biological child than she is to your husband and leaves it to Dad to keep in touch -- and Dad is not particularly good at it. If so, it may help for you to make the greater effort to cozy up to your mother-in-law and develop a friendlier relationship. But as always in such cases, there’s only so much you can do without some effort from the other side.

Dear Annie: I am part of a ladies book club. Each of us is responsible on a rotating basis for the meal and facilitating the discussion. We have a lot of fun and have read some very interesting books.

The problem is that two of the members take turns hosting at the same house. This house is absolutely filthy and seems to get worse every time. The bathrooms smell like urine, there is no hand soap, the furniture is covered in dust and dog hair, and the trashcans are overflowing. Because they both host there, we are forced to endure the conditions twice as often. We no longer want to attend meetings there.

The ladies in our club are not snobs, but the rest of us make some effort to offer a comfortable environment for our meetings. We don’t want to make dishonest excuses, and we don’t want to hurt their feelings by telling them, but we also don’t want to eat food prepared in filth. What can we do? -- Southern Bookworm Dear Bookworm: Because you aren’t willing to tell them you are uncomfortable eating in that house, we suggest you have every meeting at the same neutral location -- perhaps a restaurant or coffee shop.

Some bookstores and libraries allow you to host such events, and you can check out other locations, as well. Meals do not have to be served. It may not be as intimate, but it solves the problem.

Dear Annie: I think “Salem, Ore.,” had a wonderful idea to stop giving them Christmas gifts. When my grandparents became advanced in years, I could see that they didn’t need anything, but I still wanted to give them gifts. I found the perfect solution. I’d bake them Christmas cookies after Thanksgiving but before Christmas. That way, they could enjoy the festive season and have treats when visitors came. They were very grateful and would return the empty container, which I’d refill the following year. -- Nancy Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

In times of grief, these caring professionals are here to serve and comfort your family.

Roger was born on August 10th, 1939 at the Cranbrook St. Eugene Hospital to parents Louis and Helen. He married the love of his life and high school sweetheart Ann in 1963 and together they shared the next fifty one years.

He is survived by his wife Ann, children Debbie (Mike), Rick, Lynn (Shane), Brian (Deb); grandchildren Chris, Stephanie, Lindsey, Madison, Owen, Conrad, Megan, Allison, Jordan, Stephen, Hailey, Kristian, and Brok; brothers Larry (Susan), Reg (Denyse).

Roger was a devoted husband, a dedicated father and was truly an inspiration to those who knew him. He was a man of few words, endless wisdom, and was always quick to lend a hand. He led a full life while enjoying the time with his family and friends, his cabin at the lake, and being an avid outdoorsman. He was a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Jack of all tradesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, mastering them all while raising his family in the home he built. Roger retired in 1996 after dedicating 38 years to BC Tel. At Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no funeral service. A Celebration of Life gathering for friends and family will take place from 2pm-4pm on Saturday, September 27th, 2014.

Please join us at the Manual Training Room attached to the Cranbrook Public Library, 1212 2nd St. South (across from the old Central School) In lieu of flowers, those wishing to remember him may do so by making a donation to the Tom Baker Cancer Center in Calgary, AB (http://albertacancer.ca/Tom-Baker-CancerCentre).

250-349-5306 Strong outlook for daily newspapers

S

mart newspapers today recognize they can run a very protable business by providing relevant, entertaining and innovative ideas and content.

“Let’s not miss the point, either”, says Bill McDonald, group publisher of Metro English Canada.

“Maybe there are some trends in place that show some declines in some areas.

But newspapers still deliver a massive audience in every city across the country.

That’s not changing.

The Toronto Star still delivers one million readers every day.

There’s no other medium with that kind of reach in one day.” In fact, threequarters of Canadians (13.9 million) read a printed edition of daily newspaper each week, according to NADbank readership data.

“Increased media competition, besides raising the editorial bar at dailies, doesn’t change one crucial fact”, says media buyer Bruce Claassen, CEO of GenesisVizeum (Toronto) and chair of Aegis Media Canada.

“Daily newspapers offer the same benets they always have: the ability to reach customers quickly.

Only with a daily paper are you able to choose to do an ad and run with it in two days, and reach a sizeable portion of the population, in a fairly mass, fairly broad and fairly fast way. That’s a set of qualities very few other media can match.”

Get a handle on your small business financials “Financial Bootcamp for Small Business” is a half-day, don’t miss workshop

Submitted

Fisher Peak Camping & Trailer Rentals recently held a 48-hour facebook contest, where some lucky person/family would be chosen, based on their facebook comment, for a two-night “Arrive & Enjoy Carefree Camping Adventure” at Kimberley Riverside Campground, trailer delivered and set up, fully outfitted, with slide and bunks, BBQ package and sun shelter. All they had to do was “Arrive & Enjoy”.

We choose a Grandma, Grandpa and their two grandsons (from Cranbrook). Left to right: Chris, Josh, Kathryn, Samuel Casimer The fall weather was fabulous for them, they had a blast and the kids said it was “way better than anything!”

Do you feel nervous talking to your banker? Do you understand the difference between a cash flow and a profit and loss statement? Are you thinking about selling your business?

If these questions spark something in you, you should check out an upcoming workshop offered by the Kootenay Rockies Innovation Council (KRIC) and Community Futures East Kootenay (CFEK) in your area.

“This ‘Financial Bootcamp for Small Business’ is a half-day, don’t miss workshop for small business owners who want to better understand key business concepts and financial statements,” said Tara Penner, Project Manager with KRIC. “We’re bringing in a stellar business expert, Krista Mallory, to explain the key financial principles that underlie good business decisions.”

The Bootcamp workshops are offered in Elkford (Oct. 7), Cranbrook (Oct. 8) and Invermere (Oct. 9.) Each runs from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm and includes a continental breakfast and all workshop materials. The fee is $40.

Penner said the workshop will hone in on some key sticking points for many small business owners, in-

cluding succession planning, cash flow and business metrics.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to: • speak more comfortably to your accountant or banker; • assess the financial health of your business; • understand key business ratios; • proactively manage your cash flow; • choose the best accountant; • develop credit and collections policies; • do a break-even analysis; • find sources of local, provincial and federal support; • plan for business succession.

“It’s easy to register online,” Penner said. “Just visit kric.ca and click on ‘Financial Bootcamp.’” (kric.ca/financial-bootcamp) “There you’ll find links to the registration page for each of the communities.

The facilitator, Krista Mallory (BA), is Business Advisor in the Kelowna office of Women’s Enterprise Centre. Mallory has an economics degree from UBC Okanagan and was an Investment Advisor with Odlum Brown Limited prior to joining WEC in 2012.

REACH A READER

Literacy hits the streets in Cranbrook

S u bmit ted

Community leaders and volunteers will join Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy on October 9th to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the power literacy has in Cranbrook.

The 4th Annual Reach a Reader campaign will raise funds for Cranbrook’s community-based literacy programs.

Why? Literacy is important to all British Columbians! It impacts every aspect of our lives: healthcare, crime rates, employment and economic status. Despite its essential role in life, at least 40 per cent of B.C. adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application, reading a map, or understanding a lease – and this percentage is increasing.

“The Reach a Reader

campaign reminds everyone that literacy skills are important if we are to succeed in today’s world,” says Katherine Hough, Cranbrook Community Literacy Coordinator.

“When we hear the word literacy many of us think ‘you can read or you can’t read.’ Of course literacy is about reading and writing but it is also about the ability to express our ideas, think critically, and use technology. Literacy is wide and all-encompassing. Literacy is having the skills you need, to do what you want to do in your life.”

In Cranbrook funds will help support the Young Parents Education Program. This program helps parents who have not completed grade 12 and who have pre-school aged children to obtain their high school diploma as well as achieve parent-

ing, life and work skills.

The lives of both parent and child are improved as they learn to advocate for themselves, increase their capabilities and transition to improved employment opportunities or higher education. One young parent was so motivated that she continued to read her textbook while in labour! She is now in university with lots of possibilities ahead of her.

You can support the Reach a Reader campaign by making a donation in exchange for a special edition of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman or the Advertiser on October 9.

Volunteers will be hitting the streets with papers in hand between 9:30 am and 2:30 pm.

You may also donate online at cbal.org.

It happened this week in Cranbrook For the week of Sept. 21 to 27

DAVE HUMPHREY Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives

1898 Busy Doctor … Dr. King has been kept busy day and night the past two weeks by the fever that seems to be epidemic at this time.

Royal Cafe and Bakery … F. P. VAN DECAR, Prop. Meals Served at all hours. Regular Meals, 35c. The Best the Market Affords. Fine Line of Cigars and Tobaccos, Canned Goods, Confectionary and Soft Drinks.

Cranbrook Street. Read the Big Sign.

The New Hotel Building ... A. W. Brown arrived last week from Donald to take charge of the building of the new hotel for T. Forest. The plans show a building that would be a credit to a town of 10,000 people.

The main building will be 30 by 49, three stories, with a mansard roof. The kitchen portion will be 25 by 30 feet.

There will be 28 rooms, all heated by furnace and lighted by gas. The front is an elaborate one

in design. It will be veneered with red brick and on each corner there will be towers of Turkish design. The sides will be covered with sheet iron imitation of brick. The house will be modern in its appointments and will be built for comfort and convenience. Mr. Forest will be in Cranbrook in about two weeks and will push forward the work on the building as rapidly as possible. The estimated cost is $10,000.

Stole the Potatoes ...

Last Sunday evening Frank Derosier arrived in the city with a load of potatoes for the Fort Steele Mercantile Company. As there was no place to store them that night he left the load standing back of the store. The next morning it was found that three sacks were missing.

Peter Walsh was suspected and arrested on the charge of getting the potatoes by Constable Barnes, who afterwards learned who had bought the plunder. Walsh told a story about buying the potatoes from an Indian

and stuck to it until Tuesday morning when he confessed that he had stolen them while drunk. He was taken to Fort Steele by Constable Barnes and will have a trial Saturday.

Contract Let for the Church … The contract for the Church of England building has been let to Mr. Downey. The building will be located at the corner of Burwell and Louis streets, and will be a handsome edifice. Work has commenced on the structure and it will be ready for holding services within a few weeks.

Robbery at the Mission ... One day last week several of the inmates of the hospital at the Mission discovered that they had lost their valuables, including both money and jewellery. That same day it was observed that a man named Frank Anger, who had been working as night watchman, had disappeared, not stopping to secure what wages were due him. Monday he was seen in Cranbrook but he had changed his appearance by shaving off

his beard. The circumstances were apparently against him, and Corporal Hilliam who had learned the facts, took him in charge. Commissioner Armstrong and Constable Barnes came over from Steele that evening. The case was heard and the prisoner remanded for trial next Saturday, and was taken to Steele Tuesday on the stage. Anger, in his own defence, stated that he was innocent, and that he had come to Cranbrook on a spree. No money was found on him aside from a few dollars.

1899 Successful Concert … The concert given last Friday evening by the Ladies Aid society of the Methodist Church was largely attended, the proceeds amounting to nearly $100.

New Jail … The new lockup is completed and Constable Morris has taken possession. It is a poor makeshift for a town like Cranbrook, but for the present will have to do.

Opening Services at Catholic Church ... Last

Sunday evening the new Catholic Church in this city was opened with services by Bishop Dontenville, of Vancouver, assisted by Father Coccola and Father Ouelette. The attendance was very large and those present listened with pleasure to a sermon by the Bishop, who spoke many good words for Cranbrook, and the double duty of man working for spiritual as well as material progress. Confirmation services were held at the Mission Tuesday and at Fort Steele Wednesday.

Showed Good Sense … Last evening Mrs. J. H. McMullin lighted a lamp at her home.

Owing to some defect in the burner, the flame shot down into the oil and a big blaze was threatened. But Mrs. McMullin, with great presence of mind, seized the lamp and carried it to the door, where she threw it into the street, thus preventing any damage.

Preacher Inventor ...

Rev. D. Holford, of Cranbrook, has received a patent from the Dominion government (and has one also for the United States) for an invention relating to improvements in harness for driving horses, one object being to improve the attachment for holding up horses’ heads. A further object is to provide for the easy and expeditious attachment of the traces to the battles, and to enable the traces to be varied in length as may be required. In addition to holding up horses’ heads, when required for the administration of medicines, etc., it also prevents the animal from getting his

head down to buck or throw his heels at you.

To fully appreciate the value of the invention the diagrams showing the workings of the device should be seen. Mr. Holford has been offered $10,000 for the patent, and refused it believing and being assured that it is worth and will command much more.

Game Season … sportsmen just now are concerned in the game laws laws, and may be interested to at the open season for grouse is September 1 to December 31. The open season for duck is from September 1 to the end of February, but is unlawful for any person to kill more than 250. Blue grouse may be killed during the season —that is from September 1 to December 31, but it is unlawful to sell either varieties at any time. The killing of partridge, pheasant and quail is strictly prohibited. It is likewise unlawful to kill at any time caribou cow or calf, fawn, elk cow or calf, moose cow or calf, mountain sheep or lamb. For the shooting of hare the open season is from September 1 to December 31, but it is not to be offered for sale before October 1. The season for the killing of plover is the same as for duck, namely from September 1 to February 28, and may be sold during the season. Non- residents are forbidden to shoot without a license.

1901 The Fair is Open …

Since Monday morning there has been great activity at the fair grounds.

the supervision of Secretary McVittie, have been getting the grounds in shape for the exhibition. The tents are all up in line, in which there are individual displays, and the exhibits from every part of the district. The mineral and agricultural exhibits are in one large tent, while the fine arts are collected in another similar in size. The stables have been enlarged and many improvements made upon the grounds. In fact, when one stops to consider that a little more than a year ago the site of the present fair grounds was naught but a rocky hill top, the changes that have been wrought are simply wonderful. Now there is a complete fair ground, one of the best half mile tracks in the province, and every convenience and facility for the comfort and entertainment of visitors.

Many older communities, that have been holding exhibitions for years, would feel proud of such complete arrangements as may be found in the Cranbrook fair grounds. And yet, Cranbrook has only started. It is the Cranbrook way to demand the best, and perhaps that is why they make such progress with anything they undertake.

The fair this year, although it is the first attempt in the district, will be a great success, and simply gives some idea as to what will follow in years to come, when the district is older, the population has greatly increased, and Cranbrook better prepared in every way to give the people of this district a fall entertainment that will draw thousands of people.

Start your love affair with a juicer today I have a serious love affair with my juicer.

I am not talking about store bought, sugar filled, fruit juices from concentrate. I am talking about fresh vegetable juice. Juicing is the extraction of juice from fresh fruits and vegetables, creating a delicious drink; jam packed with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

Juicing is a pretty controversial subject right now in the world of nutrition, especially since juice fasts, or cleanses, are such a hot topic right now.

Essentially the debate is this, on one side the advocates for juicing say it’s a fast and convenient way to get tons of nutrients into our bodies, and the other side is that juicing has no fiber or skin and that we are missing important health benefits from this.

Regardless of your opinion, a glass of fresh green juice is so much better for you than a processed, sugar-laden snack.

Choosing the right juice can be overwhelming, especially since they all claim to have the same health benefits.

Here are some tips on how to find the good stuff: Store-Bought pas-

teurized juice — These juices sit on the supermarket shelf for weeks, they contain artificial flavours, additives, and preservatives that are

added so they can sit on the shelf this long without going bad. They contain little to no nutritional benefits and often have as much sugar as pop.

Store-bought pre-packaged juice — These are a great option when you are short on time. Fresh juices can be obtained at health food stores, and even some supermarkets. Read the labels carefully, you are looking for words like raw, organic, and unpasteurized.

Home-made juice — This is the best way to go, you know everything that is in it, and this juice will be the freshest with the most amount of vitamins, minerals, and phtyonutrients. Making

juices at home saves you money in the long term and lets you get creative with your recipes.

Why do I love juicing?

• quick and easy absorption of nutrients; • increased energy; • clear thinking; • clear skin; • strong hair and nails; • healthy rest for digestive system; • appetite control; • strengthen immune system; • improved ability to taste and smell; • getting raw vegetables into your diet you normally wouldn’t eat (i.e. raw collard green for breakfast).

Expert Tips: 1. Drink it fresh. Vitamins and minerals are slowly being destroyed with exposure to air and light, so to get the most out of your juice, drink it right away.

2. We cannot live on juice alone. There usually little amounts of protein, fat, and fiber in juices. Our digestive system is designed to work, a rest now and then is totally fine, but just like our minds, and it needs to be kept active to work at a high level.

3. Use the pulp. If you are short on time, freeze the pulp and deal with it later, or compost it.

Throwing it away is such a waste, trust me your garden will love the pulp.

There are lots of recipes online for juice pulp, get creative. I feed the pulp to my dogs mixed in with their food, keeping in mind the fruits and vegetables that dogs cannot eat, but they love it!

4. Juice everything.

Maybe not everything, but try out new vegetables and fruits you’ve never had before. Variety is the spice of life, mix it up.

5. High quality produce. Organic is more expensive I know. Just think of it as an investment into your health, trust me the long term pay off will be worth it.

6. Get the vegetables in there. Vegetable juices are full of nutrition; fruit juices while a great source of vitamin C are high in natural sugars and should be consumed less often. If you are new to juicing start

an avocado. I absolutely love blending my juice with an avocado; it is so creamy and delicious 2. Bananas - Same idea, huge mess, little juice. Just blend it after.

3. Citrus Peels - Although some can be juiced, in general they contain an indigestible oil that our bodies don’t love, just peel them.

The 3rd Annual Boston Pizza/Northstar GM Par 3 Charity Golf Tournament took place on August 22, 2014 and with the overwhelming support from sponsors, donors and the participants, we are very pleased to announce that $29,000 will be donated to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health for the purchase of Vital Signs Monitors.

Trevor Gordon, of Boston Pizza and Pat Spring of Northstar GM first brought the Charity Golf Tournament to the community three years ago, turning the Cranbrook Golf Club in to a Par 3 course for one day, giving every participant a chance to shoot for a hole in one on each hole to win a new vehicle. It is the only tournament of its kind in the Cranbrook area. Participants are treated to a fun-filled day and evening, combined with amazing auction items such as tickets to Vancouver Canucks games, Katy Perry concert tickets and other fantastic prizes.

The past three years has resulted in raising more than $65,000 for the East Kootenay Foun-

dation for Health (EKFH).

Trevor Gordon and Pat Spring said, “Every year, this tournament gets better and every year we are able to raise more money for healthcare right here in our community. It’s important for us, our businesses and our staff to raise money for a cause that impacts everyone right here where we live and do business.”

The Par 3 Charity Golf Tournament Committee would like to thank everyone for their support and involvement in this event.

“This tournament has raised funds for much-needed equipment in our hospital for the past three years,” said Donna Grainger, Executive Director of the EKFH. “Everyone in our community comes together to support these types of events, whether it be our valued volunteers, the organizers and the important participants. This type of team approach makes the health-care in this community stronger.”

The Par 3 Charity Golf Tournament will take place again in August 2015.

CFUW Cranbrook Club Christmas Bazaar is sold out Submit ted

The 30th Annual CFUW Cranbrook Club Members are pleased to announce that all space for their 30th annual event has been sold out.

“I have started a wait list,” said Cathryn Henley, Chair of the Club’s prestigious bazaar for 2014, “because inevitably someone will have to cancel for one reason or another. We would rather be prepared to fill those spaces than see them empty at this huge event”.

All artisans are from the East Kootenay; from Creston to Invermere, and produce their own product. “We are lucky to see new artisans every year,” said Henley.

“There are nine new-tous artisans and then there are some coming back from being absent at this Bazaar,” she added.

Due to Hallowe’en falling on Friday this year, we have moved the Bazaar date to Saturday, Nov. 8. As in the last 29 years, we are at the Cranbrook Golf Course on 2nd Street South and will be open from 10 am to 4 pm.

Our entrance fee is still only a Toonie and there are 30 chances of winning one of the great door prizes donated by the participating artisans.

Another great feature of this bazaar is that all products are produced by hand. We have jewelers of all kinds: melted and poured glass, sea glass from ocean beaches, tumbled stone, semi-precious gem stones, sterling silver, funky remakes of new and used jewelry, hemp, beaded and woven and everything else one can imagine.

We have knitted wool and cotton items from baby clothes to adult sweaters, First nations’ moccasins, head wear, gloves, scarves and blankets as well as one-of-akind sewing crafts of all kinds including purses, Christmas decorations and tea towels.

Of course there is food! We have the return of Authentic Doukhobor Style Borscht and bread; and fresh Home Sweet

Home Treats and Heavenly Chocolate. Majestic Mustards will be on display for you to sample and buy and Anna will have her “Stuff” too. The gift packs are great presents for the hard-to-buy family or man.

There is more: There are gift baskets of all kinds, styles and sizes, filled, wrapped and ready to go; and for the crafters, a new artist is selling her Art Foamies she has created to make all kinds of art crafts easier and inspirational from scrapbooking and card-making to “Art”.

Speaking of “art”, we have that, too; with Jim Robertson’s delightful, bright creations and Janice Strong’s beautiful photography. Both are well-known artists in their own fields and do cards, calendars as well as framed work.

CFUW Cranbrook Club is bringing in fresh roasted, organic, birdand tree-friendly Fair Trade coffee again this year. Cafe Femenino is from Peru, Guatemala and Mexico this year, and come in decalf and regular beans or ground one pound bags.

There are gifts for everyone from anyone, as prices range from affordable for a child to buy for a parent or sibling, favourite aunt or uncle, to prices saved for that special event gift.

“We started the door prize draws early in 2013, and that worked well for those winners who were still at the Bazaar, as well as for the volunteers,” said Henley. “This year, we will begin the door prize draws at 12 noon.

Shoppers do not have to be in attendance to get their prize.” We also have our annual gift basket to raffle off this year. Each year it contains about $200 worth of products donated by the club membership. That draw will be made at 4 pm and the winner will be notified immediately by phone.

Like all other Bazaars, all proceeds from this 30th annual event will go back into the East Kootenay community in the many projects and programs the CFUW Cranbrook Club supports.

NEWS Maasai choir asks ‘Why such fear?’

Submitted

A message of faith and fearlessness is coming from the continent of Africa and it is spreading right here in North America. This fall, the En-kata choir from Tanzania, East Africa, is sharing songs and stories about the awesome power of God at work in their community. The ‘Why Such Fear?’ Tour 2014 will be in Cranbrook at Cranbrook Alliance Church on September 26th with their moving performance.

Choir member Naitapuaki Lengina explains the title of the tour: “In our lives, we have challenges, but since our God is with us, Why Such Fear?”

Her own story is an example of the hope and good news coming from a continent that in the West is more often known for having to battle challenges of poverty and disease. “I was a Maasai girl who

helped us build a school.”

This is the fourth tour of the En-kata choir through North America; their nine week journey will take the Maasai from Washington State to Virginia with stops in several US States and Canadian Provinces in between.

The choir tours are the main fundraiser for the construction of a Maasai-led elementary school in Obili, Tanzania. Money collected on previous tours has enabled the Maasai to build classrooms and bathrooms as well as teacher housing.

A grand opening celebration for the school

was held in June 2011 and kindergarten classes started in March 2012. The number of children wishing to enroll in the school, however, far exceeds the room available in the three classrooms built so far. “The ’Why Such Fear?’ tour will help the school to expand its capacity, and provide the graduating kindergarten and Grade 1 students with classrooms to move into,” explains En-kata tour coordinator Jeremy Feser.

The musical presentation will feature songs written by the Maasai and performed in both their native language of Maa and the official

“There will be no charge, but offerings are encouraged as one of the goals of the ‘Why Such Fear?’ Tour is to raise money to continue with the construction of the school in Orbili,” Feser explains.

The En-kata choir is a project in partnership between Pamoja Ministries and MAPED, an indigenous Maasai organization in Tanzania that combines the salvation message with issues of social justice.

Together, the two groups have created several CDs of the choir’s music as well as music videos and a stunning picture book showcasing one community of the Maasai.

These items will also be available at the event.

The funds for these lights will be reallocated from the city’s float, which will be put into storage for two years.

During this time, the float will undergo upgrades, according to Sparwood Coun. Joanne Wilton.

The only exception to the temporary retiring of the float will be for its scheduled appearance in the annual Coalminers Day Parade in June.

“If our goal of the float is to increase exposure of the District of Sparwood to our neighbours, we feel that this project would do just that. We’re not saying to never use the float again,” said Sparwood Mayor Lois Halko, “but to instead reallocate those funds to a project that would give a lot of visibility to the city.”

According to the Chamber of Commerce, attraction to Titan Park has never been higher.

The visitor count from January 2014 to September 15 totaled 57,883, exceeding the entirety of

last year’s 55,000 visitors. This gives council all the more reason to invest in the lights.

The idea came from Halko and Wilton who had seen LED displays of this nature at various trade shows.

Halko likened the lights to those featured at the parliament buildings in Victoria.

The proposed lights would not only outline the truck, but could also feature elaborately de-

tailed scenes of Sparwood that could change with the seasons or be changed for special occasions, according to Coun. Wilton.

“When we spoke to [the lighting company] they were very interested in giving us a really good deal because they were so excited about being able to do a project like this on a truck,” said Wilton. “I think there’s lots of room for negotiation on pricing.”

The author of a study that estimates rising ferry fares have seriously damaged the provincial economy is standing by his conclusions in the face of sharp criticism from Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

Peter Larose projected 31 million more passengers would have taken BC Ferries over the last 10 years had the province kept fare hikes to the rate of inflation.

He pegged the losses at $2.3 billion in economic activity and $610 million in taxes to various levels of government.

“I have extreme confidence in the results,” Larose said, adding they are more likely an underestimate. “I think it’s probably significantly higher.”

He spoke to a policy session at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler Tuesday after Stone issued a letter and took to the airwaves to condemn the UBCM-sponsored study.

“It is unfortunate that

the analysis speculates on what might have been, rather than providing any concrete solutions on how to take the coastal ferry system into the future in a cost effective and sustainable way,” Stone said in a Sept. 19 letter to UBCM’s president.

The minister said the study failed to properly consider various factors, from the effects of the 2008-09 global recession to rising fuel prices and demographic changes.

He said it was “irresponsible” and “unproductive” for UBCM to release the “unsubstantiated and sensational” estimates.

Stone’s letter also said the analysis was flawed because it assumed all the money not spent due to reduced ferry travel went out of the province, instead of being spent in B.C. in other ways.

Larose sought to reassure UBCM delegates that his projection is correct and doesn’t mean the economic damage in coastal B.C. is being offset by gains in other parts of the

province.

But Tofino Coun. Ray Thorogood questioned that logic, arguing Lower Mainland residents deterred from a trip to Vancouver Island by high fares might instead head east to the Okanagan.

“We’re not saying this is the be all and end all of all analysis,” said Campbell River Coun.

Claire Moglove, who sits on the UBCM committee that commissioned the work.

She said the aim is to do further work and en-

gage the province in a real dialogue on stemming the decline in BC Ferries ridership.

“What we want from the provincial government is to sit down and start talking about solutions.”

Moglove added that UBCM decided to probe the impact of high fares because the province wouldn’t.

Current rate caps allow for maximum increases of four per cent this year and 3.9 per cent in 2015.

Aboriginal title ‘a first step,’ UBCM told Tom Fle tc her Black Press

WHISTLER – Canada’s first declaration of aboriginal title is the first of many to come across B.C. and it should be viewed as a step forward for relations with the province and local governments, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention were told Tuesday.

A standing-room-only crowd of local politicians heard a summary of the June decision of the Supreme Court of Canada declaring title to 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley near Williams Lake. The title area is no longer considered Crown land.

Alexis Creek First Nation Chief Percy Guichon called the landmark Tsilhqot’in Nation case “the first step to reconciliation” between aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities.

“For far too long,

provincial and federal governments have somehow minimized First Nations’ rights,” Guichon told delegates.

“It only has brought on negatives, such as legislating us to poverty on these small areas they call reserves.”

Vancouver lawyer Gregg Cockrill said the declaration of title on Tsilhqot’in lands may be the most significant court decision in B.C. history, and there will be many more to come, either by court rulings or treaties that define areas of aboriginal title.

For areas not subject to title declarations, local governments do not have the same legal obligation to consult First Nations as the federal and provincial governments do, Cockrill said.

Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William, whose Tsilhqot’in community was the subject of the landmark case, said the next step is to build a

Po

positive relationship with the B.C. government. William praised Premier Christy Clark’s decision to be the first B.C. premier to visit his territory, and to agree to return in October to mark the 150th anniversary of the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs in Quesnel during colonial times.

William, also an area director of the Cariboo Regional District, said the next step is to develop Tsilhqot’in laws to govern resource development.

In the wake of the federal government’s rejection of a gold mine project in the region, the Tsilhqot’in Nation has developed a draft mining policy. Guichon said the draft has been presented to governments and industry for their input, and the goal is to work cooperatively on resource development as has been done in the forest industry in the region.

Last of the famous Mitford sisters, Deborah, dowager duchess of Devonshire, dies at 94 DA N I C A K I R K A Associated Press

LONDON — Deborah, the dowager duchess of Devonshire, the last of the witty, unconventional Mitford sisters, died Wednesday, her son said. She was 94.

Brought up in Oxfordshire, England, Deborah was the youngest of the six sisters, including the novelist and historian Nancy Mitford, and writer and social activist Jessica Mitford. Two other sisters were infamous for their right-wing politics.

Unity was a friend of Adolf Hitler, and Diana, was the second wife of Sir Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists.

Unmoved by her sisters’ associations, Deborah told the Daily Telegraph in 2012 that Hitler made little impression on her when she joined her mother and Unity for tea with Nazi leader in 1937.

“Well, I’ve never been very interested in politics, you see,’’ she told the news-

paper. “And the truth is that I didn’t give it much thought.

If you sat in a room with Churchill you were aware of this tremendous charisma.

Kennedy had it, too. But Hitler didn’t — not to me anyway.’’

Deborah Vivien Freeman-Mitford was born March 31, 1920, and educated with her sisters at the family’s country home.

Known as “Debo,’’ she was more focused on domestic life than her sisters, marrying Andrew Cavendish, who later became the 11th Duke of Devonshire.

Together they transformed Chatsworth House from a deteriorating pile into one of the most-visited historical properties in Britain.

The vast estate includes a 17th Century stately home featuring 175 rooms surrounded by 35,000 acres of land in the heart of a national park in Derbyshire, central England. She ran the estate’s Chatsworth Farm Shop, selling local game, meat, eggs, cheese, fruit and

to Roost: And Other Peckings,’’ a collection of essays on subjects ranging from flower arranging to the death of John F. Kennedy, as well as “In Tearing Haste:

Letters Between Deborah Devonshire and Patrick Leigh Fermor.’’

Her son, Peregrine Cavendish, the 12th Duke of Devonshire, announced his mother’s death in a statement. No further detail was offered.

Among those offering condolences were Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

“She was a unique personality with a wonderfully original approach to life, and a memorable turn of phrase to match that originality,’’ he said in a statement. “The joy, pleasure and amusement she gave to so many, particularly through her books, as well as the contribution she made to Derbyshire throughout her time at Chatsworth, will not easily be forgotten and we shall miss her so very much.’’

She is survived by her son and daughters Lady Emma Tennant and Lady Sophie Topley. She also leaves eight grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.

Cadillac HQ moves from Detroit to New York ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Cadillac wants a jolt from the city that never sleeps.

General Motors’ 112-year-old luxury car division, founded in Detroit and named for the city’s founder, is moving its headquarters to New York.

Cadillac, which has been steadily losing sales to its German rivals, wants to get closer

to its ideal buyers. Executives and marketing staffers will set up shop in a loft office in Manhattan’s trendy SoHo neighbourhood starting next year.

“There is no city in the world where the inhabitants are more immersed in a premium lifestyle than in New York,” Johann de Nysschen, the brand’s new president, said in a

statement issued Tuesday announcing the move. “It allows our team to share experiences with premiumbrand consumers and develop attitudes in common with our audience.”

Cadillac will become a separate business unit, giving it more freedom to chase global growth.

Most product engineering and design will re-

main in Detroit. Cadillacs will continue to be built at plants in Michigan, Texas, Canada, Mexico and China.

The company is still evaluating which employees go to New York, but spokesman David Caldwell said it’s likely fewer than 100 people will move in the first phase next year.

Allen Adamson, managing director of

branding firm Landor Associates in New York, said the advantage of New York is its proximity to the luxury market.

“You have to catch trends closer to potential buyers,” Adamson said. “There are more hedge fund billionaires in NYC than there are in Detroit. The team will be closer to the luxury market and luxury users.”

EK Transmission is pleased to announce the addition of Brodie Ernst to their squad of Automotive Technicians. Brodie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in many areas as a mechanic, including diagnostics and diesel performance.

Adamson said it’s also less important today for car brands to be linked to manufacturing centres like Detroit. Fiat Chrysler’s new global headquarters will be in London, for example.

“Cars today are less about the functionality of wheels and transmission and more about total experience: music, computer integration, the experience driving it. I don’t think the expertise is necessarily tied to a particular geography,” he said.

Right now, New York is Cadillac’s fourth-best U.S. market, behind Texas, Florida and Michigan. That could change, although analysts say most consumers won’t know where the brand is headquartered. GM is also the maker of Chevrolet, Buick and GMC. Corporate moves are something of a specialty for de Nysschen, who became Cadillac’s chief in August. He was head of Audi’s U.S. division when it moved its U.S. headquarters from suburban Detroit to Virginia in 2007. In 2012, he took over Nissan’s luxury Infiniti brand, which had just moved its headquarters from Japan to Hong Kong. Infiniti struggled immediately after the move, but new products helped its sales jump 30 per cent in the first half of this year.

Cadillac sales are up 10 per cent worldwide through August. Sales are up 70 per cent in China, where the newly revamped CTS sedan just went on sale.

But in the U.S., Cadillac isn’t performing as well. Sales have slumped nearly 5 per cent this year despite well-reviewed new vehicles like the ATS coupe and XTS sedan.

U.S. luxury car sales

have grown at more than double the pace of non-luxury car sales so far this year. But Cadillac is missing out on those buyers. Audi sales are up nearly 15 per cent, BMW is up almost 12 per cent and Mercedes-Benz is up 9 per cent, according to Autodata Corp. Toyota’s Lexus luxury brand posted a 16 per cent increase through August.

GM’s product development chief, Mark Reuss, said Tuesday that Cadillac’s sales have been disappointing.

Reuss said Cadillac is making good products but needs better support from marketing.

The move to New York should help that, he said.

“We need to get some fresh thinking into that brand,” he said.

Eric Ibara, a senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book, said Cadillac has discovered that making competitive products isn’t enough. He thinks the move will help Cadillac rebrand itself in a way that better suits the sleek vehicles now in its showrooms.

Cadillac isn’t the first Detroit brand to leave the Motor City. Ford’s luxury Lincoln brand moved its ad agency, Hudson Rouge, to New York in 2011. Lincoln hopes to score big with a new SUV, the MKC, and new ads starring Oscarwinning actor Matthew McConnaughey. But the brand has struggled to remake itself after a long decline.

Ford also tried to breathe new life into its luxury brands in 2000 by moving the North American headquarters of Jaguar, Aston Martin, Land Rover and Volvo to California. But the company ran into money trouble and eventually sold those brands. It maintains a small design studio in Irvine.

Things every driver needs to know NE WS C ANADA

How strong a driver are you? What about the people you share the road with? A recent study from Western Financial Group discovered that, despite being more confident in our own driving, more than three quarters of Canadians say they have been in an accident since taking the wheel.

As that shows, we may not know the road quite as well as we think.

Here are three things every driver should take into account: Weather can cause more damage than you know With worsening road conditions ahead, weather damage to your vehicle can take many forms. In order to protect your vehicle from wind and hail, as well as theft, vandalism, and impact to animals, you will need to carry comprehensive coverage.

“If you live in an area that faces the risk of heavy hail or extreme weather, you should absolutely augment your policy,” says Blake Reichert, Western Financial Group’s regional vice president of sales in Alberta. “Always talk to your broker to see how much coverage you have and what you might need to add.”

Be selective of who drives your car If you have insurance coverage, anyone who takes your vehicle for a spin does as well – provided they have a valid license and are operating your vehicle with your permission. Nevertheless, whatever they do reflects on your coverage. “So, should they get into an accident your policy will respond subject to the terms of your coverage, Reichert explains. “And this will affect your policy, not theirs. Keep this in mind.”

Understand the extent of your coverage These days, policies are as diverse as drivers, so make sure you know exactly what you have.

This becomes particularly important should you travel elsewhere. It is important to check the territory restrictions on your auto policy before you hit the road to ensure you will be covered while away from home. Always talk with your broker ahead of

your road trip and they can give you the best information about what coverage you may need.

Similarly, you can include stipulations like replacement or loaner vehicles due to an incident, or loss of use. This means that you will not go without a car when yours is being repaired as a result of an insured loss.

This time of year, many of our thoughts turn to roadside safety – and it’s important to look at the entire picture. The above will get you started, but also consult a qualified professional before putting your car in drive. More info available online at westernfinancialgroup. ca.

Why some Ontarians buy vehicles privately no matter what the risk NE WS C ANADA

About one in five Ontario car buyers say dangers posed by curbsiders (illegal, unlicensed dealers who commonly pose as private sellers) won’t stop them from buying privately, a recent survey found.

However, an almost equal number of private buyers (17 per cent), once educated about curbsiders, say no savings is worth the possibility of getting a written-off, damaged or odometer-tampered vehicle – common curbsider fare.

Some 21 per cent

said they could put a price on accepting the risk of buying from a curbsider: for a savings of $1,000 to $1,999, they’ll buy privately – even if it’s from a curbsider and what they’re getting is potentially misrepresented.

“Some Ontario vehicle buyers find the appeal of perceived upfront savings so strong they’ll risk dealing with a curbsider,” says Terry O’Keefe, Director of Communications and Education at OMVIC, Ontario’s vehicle sales regulator.

“Unfortunately they lose all consumer pro-

tection rights – rights only available when buying from an OMVIC-Registered Dealer.”

The regulator commissioned the survey of 503 Ontario vehicle buyers by Vision Critical in August 2014.

It generated intriguing findings about those who buy privately: A significant majority (67 per cent) of private vehicle buyers, once educated about the risks of curbsiders and the protections only available from an OMVIC-Registered Dealer, would still buy privately again; a note-

worthy minority (18 per cent) answered “not likely.”

Private buyers are notably more confident they could identify a curbsider than those who buy from dealers (54 per cent versus 36 per cent), even though 41 per cent answered “maybe” when asked if they could identify a curbsider.

“I genuinely hope these buyers are as savvy as they believe, because the dangers posed by curbsiders are very real,” says O’Keefe.

In fact, OMVIC estimates that up to 25 per cent of all private vehi-

cle classified ads on online marketplaces like Kijiji, Craigslist or autoTRADER are from curbsiders.

“Consumers are only protected when they buy from registered dealers, so it’s vital that those who buy privately do their research and ask the right questions before turning over their hardearned dollars.”

Half the galleries in Canada’s newest museum won’t be open C ANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Less than a week after a splashy grand opening, officials at the country’s newest museum said half the galleries won’t be finished when the Canadian Museum for Human Rights opens its doors to the public Saturday.

President and CEO Stuart Murray said they had intended to have all 11 galleries open by Saturday, but that isn’t possible. Only five galleries will be done when the museum welcomes the public.

People will only be able to tour the museum through a choice of two 90-minute guided tours until November and are encouraged to buy their tickets online in advance.

“There are some elements that we thought would be here that just are not here,” Murray said Wednesday without elaborating on what those are.

“There’s a lot of moving parts in a big project of this nature.”

The museum officially opened Sept. 19, with political speeches and performance. There were protests outside the ceremony calling for government action on missing and murdered aboriginal women, living conditions on reserves and other issues.

At the time, officials said they expected all galleries in the $351-million museum to be open on time with the exception of a few “finishing touches.” But Murray said it soon became clear that wouldn’t be possible.

He said he had a choice to close the museum for a couple of weeks until all the exhibits were done or open as scheduled with only a few galleries.

“We felt it was best that we open on the 27th (and) that we give a very robust, inspiring opportunity, whether it’s through the architecture of the building or whether it’s through the tours that go into the galleries for 90 minutes.

We believe that’s the

best way.”

People whose stories make up some of the exhibits have been told to delay their visits to the museum until the galleries are finished in November, Murray said.

Although officials said the museum’s grand opening garnered international attention, Murray said he doesn’t think the museum’s reputation will be tarnished because it isn’t finished yet.

“We understand that there’s a lot of expectation on us,” he said. “I take responsibility. We talked about opening on the 27th and we’re not there.”

The public can go on two tours of the museum starting Saturday — one which highlights the building’s architecture and the other which explores the galleries, including “What Are Human Rights?” and “Indigenous Perspectives.”

Both tours include a trip up the “Tower of Hope,” a glass observation tower with views of Winnipeg and its two converging rivers. Research shows most people spend about 90 minutes in a museum so the tours are tailored to that attention span, Murray said.

The tours are $10 for adults — less than the regular admission of $15 the museum will charge when all galleries are up and running.

“We’re going to be able to offer you a spectacular visitor experience and our staff are all charged up,” said June Creelman, the museum’s director of learning and programming.

When the museum opens in its entirety, it will house a copy of the Bill of Rights signed by former prime minister John Diefenbaker in 1960, a 1763 royal proclamation by King George III that established protocols for relationships with First Nations and head-tax certificates paid for by Chinese immigrants around the start of the 20th century.

Pleasure boat rescues Mexican fisherman, who tells of being adrift about a week at sea ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEXICO CITY — People aboard a Mexican pleasure boat rescued a fisherman who had been adrift at sea for a week after his boat was swamped by Tropical Storm Polo.

Crew members of the 42foot (12.8-meter) sailboat U-Fin videoed the thin, exhausted man as he floated in a giant foam cooler about 6 miles (10 kilometres) off Acapulco on Monday and then brought him aboard.

The U-Fin’s captain, Roberto Odis Vazquez, said Wednesday that the rescued man had caught a seagull for food and didn’t want to let the carcass go when he was rescued.

“The poor man, he didn’t want to let go of that seagull.

He wanted to bring it with him to eat,’’ Odis Vazquez said. “It would bring tears to anybody’s eyes.’’

Odis Vazquez said the man told of his fishing boat being swamped in high waves and said he threw out his catch and

took refuge in the huge ice chest used to store catches.

Enrique Dominguez, an official at the Acapulco Port Captain’s Office, identified the rescued fisherman as Raymundo Rodriguez, 45, who set out from a beach near Acapulco on Sept. 14 along with another man, Mario Morales, 69, on a fishing trip.

Dominguez said the men’s open boat got swamped in the rough weather caused by Tropical Storm Polo. He said the port was formally closed

because of bad weather when the pair set out.

Rodriguez said Morales had died farther out to sea. Another fishing boat found the two men’s swamped boat with Dominguez’s body inside earlier Monday, Dominguez said.

Odis Vazquez said the fisherman appeared to be suffering from hypothermia when he was rescued. Dominguez said the man was taken to a local naval hospital and has recovered enough to receive visits.

UN chief calls on world leaders to find ‘seeds of hope’ in world seeming to fall apart ASSOCIATED PRESS

The United Nations chief called for world leaders Wednesday to join an international campaign to ease the plight of nearly unprecedented numbers of refugees, the displaced and victims of violence in a world wracked by wars and the swiftspreading and deadly Ebola epidemic.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said leaders must find and nur-

ture “seeds of hope’’ in the turmoil and despair of a world that may seem like it’s falling apart with people crying out for protection from greed and inequality.

“Not since the end of the Second World War have there been so many refugees, displace people and asylum seekers. Never before has the United Nations been asked to reach so many people with emergency food assistance

and other life-saving supplies,’’ Ban said in his state of the world address at the opening of the U.N. General Assembly’s annual ministerial meeting.

Several leaders including Jordan’s King Abdullah and Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan addressed the challenges — financial and social — of hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria.

Abdullah, whose

lande denounced the militants linked to the Islamic State group who assassinated Herve Gourdel and warned that they pose a global threat that must be stopped.

U.S. President Barack Obama urged world leaders to join a global coalition to destroy the Islamic State terrorist group which “has terrorized all who they come across in Iraq and Syria.’’ He also urged the

country is sheltering nearly 1.4 million Syrians, said the refugee crisis “demands a global solution.’’

“To date, the response has not kept pace with the real needs,’’ he said.

The global spotlight at the assembly is focused on the rise of radical Islamic extremists, who chose Wednesday to behead a French hiker in Algeria. French President Francois Hol-

leaders to address the failure to confront forcefully enough “the intolerance, sectarianism, and hopelessness that feeds violent extremism in too many parts of the globe.’’

And Ban decried the “new depths of barbarity’’ and called for decisive action to stop “atrocity crimes.’’ But he also said “we must not let the smoke from today’s fires blind us to longer-term challenges and opportunities’’ and address “the danger posed by religiously motivated fanatics.’’

Speaker after speaker addressed a host of other issues from illegal immigration to promoting equality for women and reforming the powerful U.N. Security Council to reflect the 21st century, not the post-World War II world.

On a positive note, Mauritania’s President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who currently heads the 54-nation Af-

rican Union, touted the continent’s economic growth, now close to 6 per cent on average, and its promotion of agriculture, which now employs close to 60 per cent of the work force and represents onethird of the continent’s GDP. “Africa is working relentlessly to change from a consumption space to a production zone in order to guarantee employment opportunities for millions of its people,’’ he said.

Abdel Aziz called for “strong action to find efficient and rapid solutions’’ to the phenomenon of illegal immigration and address the unemployment that leads African youth to seek opportunities elsewhere.

“We cannot just count the bodies washed up onto the beaches or undertake rescue operations at sea for thousands of migrants crammed in unsafe boats,’’ he said.

UNITED NATIONS — Canada will soon be weighing the possibility of an extended military role in the Middle East, Prime Minister Stephen Harper indicated Wednesday.

Harper said he has just recently received a request from the U.S. government for further Canadian involvement in the fight against Islamist rebels.

“We have to have some additional debate within our government,’’ he said Wednesday during a question-and-answer session in New York before an audience of U.S. business leaders.

“The government of Canada will make a decision on that very shortly.’’

When pressed about the possible new engagement, Harper declined to offer details because the U.S. government “didn’t make the letter public.’’ One government official familiar with the request said it does not involve combat.

Harper did say the world can’t allow terror-

ists to gain safe havens like the one that has developed in eastern Syria and western Iraq.

A second government official, who like the first was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, said the U.S. request has been part of a natural progression of events and came as no surprise to the government.

“We’ve been working closely with the Americans, who have been trying to build a coalition for quite some time,’’ said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

“We’ve been involved in those discussions.’’

The official said the Canadian government has always made it clear it “that it would be prepared to do more as requests came in.’’

Harper will need to discuss the matter further with his cabinet, and also with opposition party leaders before any decisions are made, the official added.

Nico Rosberg locked in Formula One title sprint with Hamilton with 5 races left CHRIS LINES ASSOCIATED PRESS

The failure of Nico Rosberg’s Mercedes at the Singapore Grand Prix has given the championship advantage to teammate and race winner Lewis Hamilton — and it raised questions about whether Formula One’s proposed new radio bans are a good idea.

Hamilton’s victory raised him three points above Rosberg in the drivers’ championship standings with five races to go. It is a thin advantage in points, but back-toback wins could give an edge to a driver like Hamilton.

When Rosberg qualified only seven-thousandths of a second behind pole-sitter Hamilton, the stage was set for another epic duel between the Mercedes drivers in the night race around Marina Bay. Rosberg’s problems came to light on the formation lap and his car failed to get off the line for the warm-up lap, meaning he had to start from pit lane.

The issue was a broken loom in the steering column that affected the electronic connections to the steering wheel.

That left Rosberg without fourth and sixth gears, plus there was no access to battery-stored power boosts and no way to open the rear wing on the straights.

The team managed to get

the car started from the pits and Rosberg into the race, but he lasted only 14 frustrating laps at the back of the field before retiring.

“The toughest day of the year for me,” Rosberg said. “I felt so helpless. Nothing was working at the beginning of the race. It’s just reliability, for the team, that’s the area we need to work on, that’s the weakness. They’re flat out, but we need to improve somehow.”

Prior to retirement, Rosberg was receiving a barrage of messages over the radio about the operability of the car, and how he might improve it. And that raised questions about the practicality of a proposed ban on most radio messages about the car performance.

That rule was to have started in Singapore but teams complained, and the FIA delayed the introduction of the ban to the start of 2015.

A ban on driver coaching — instructions on braking, acceleration, racing lines and the like — did start on the weekend, with no egregious transgressions.

Mercedes said Rosberg’s situation showed that the proposed car-performance radio ban should be reviewed.

“A nightmare,” Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said.

“Can you imagine not being able to give any mes-

The modern F1 cars, with their complex interaction of

combustion engine with two hybrid power systems harvesting energy from braking and exhaust heat, require performance monitoring from the pits.

“These cars are so bloody

complicated and there’s an awful amount going on,” Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said.

“I completely support getting rid of driving coaching through the radio ... but

in terms of managing the power unit, they’re so complicated that from a reliability and safety point of view, it’s important (to keep radio messaging).”

Private car buyers advise everyone else: Get consumer protection NE WS C ANADA

(NC) More than one-third (37 per cent) of Ontarians say they bought their last used vehicle pri-

vately because they thought they’d save money.

But consumers who buy from a private seller lose the benefit of

Ontario’s consumer protection laws – they only apply when purchasing from an OMVIC-Registered Dealer. However, among

avid private purchasers, 63 per cent would advise others to buy from an OMVIC-Registered Dealer to get protections they willingly forgo.

“It’s a case of do as I say, not as I do,” muses Terry O’Keefe, OMVIC Director of Communications and Education.

According to OMVIC, the provincial vehicle sales regulator, this interesting contradiction is one of several to emerge from a poll it commissioned of 503 Ontario used vehicle buyers conducted in August 2014 by Vision Critical.

The additional danger of purchasing from a curbsider, an illegal, unlicensed dealer who often poses as a private seller, does not dissuade some die-hard private buyers.

In fact, 65 per cent of them would still buy privately, despite advising family and friends otherwise and even though 41 per cent only answered “maybe” when asked if they could recognize a curbsider.

So what might motivate a committed private purchaser to change their

ways and buy from a registered dealer?

For 34 per cent of those surveyed, only a bad experience would do it.

“There seems to be a disconnect – private buyers want others to get protection but willingly forgo it while not being completely armed with information they need to protect themselves,” says O’Keefe.

“And we know that curbsiders are lurking in classified ads, waiting to pounce.”

OMVIC’s website lists many charged and convicted curbsiders.

“This alone shows that buying privately comes with significant risk.”

So what’s the smart approach?

“No matter where you make your next purchase, get informed and ask the right questions,” says O’Keefe.

“Finally, understand that you’re protected when purchasing from an OMVIC-Registered Dealer; you’re not when buying privately.” For more on your car-buying rights and protections, visit omvic.on.ca. www.newscanada.com

HISTORY E

stablished circa 1920 as Forest Fire Prevention Week, the intention was to encourage greater public awareness towards Canada’s forests. At the time, there was no apparent shortage of trees for industrial expansion – the greatest threat came from forest fires, due mainly to human causes. Since then National Forest Week, as it was renamed in 1967, has evolved to encompass the many and varied human and environmental aspects of Canada’s forest resources – past, present and future. Although special activities are promoted across Canada, National Forest Week remains first and foremost a challenge to individual Canadians to learn more about their forest heritage and support greater recognition of this valuable resource. National Forest Week is observed annually during the last full week of September, Sunday through Saturday.

National Tree Day is observed on the Wednesday of National Forest Week.
