ELECTION 2014

Lee Pratt announces mayoral run TREVOR CRAWLEY

It’s officially a race.

Lee Pratt of Cranbrook will be running for mayor against incumbent Wayne Stetski in the upcoming municipal election. So far, only Pratt and Stetski have announced their candidacy for the mayor’s seat.

Pratt, who is retired after long careers in the auto-industrial sales and financial industries, decided to run after becoming concerned with the state of growth and economic development.

“I’ve lived here all my life, and over the past

LEE PRATT few years, especially the last three years I’ve seen Cranbrook, it’s just not growing,” said Pratt. “It’s become stagnant.”

Blisset aims for Council

FOR THE TOWNSMAN

Norma Blissett, long time Cranbrook resident, high school teacher and former provincial NDP candidate will run for Cranbrook city council in the upcoming municipal election.

“Cranbrook has been a wonderful place to live and to raise my three children,” she said. “Now that they have grown up and left the nest, I have time to devote to my community as a member of city council.

“My priorities will be infrastructure — improving Cranbrook roads, water and sewer

See BLISSETT , Page 5

The history of Cranbrook and a particular Canadian cavalry regiment are more interconnected than most people may realize. And if there is one individual who represents the Cranbrook spirit of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), it is Colin Anderson.

“Everyone should know the defense of Canada rests on this regiment,” said Anderson, who recently celebrated his 88th birthday at a party at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 24. “The Strathconas have been in every international war Canada has been involved in.”

The formation of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) involves two individuals who featured prominently in this area: Donald Smith (First Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal), renowned among

important territory for the Nature Conservancy, said Lesley Neilson, Communications Manager for the NCC. “We’ve done a lot of good work in the East Kootenay,” Neilson said.

“We’ve got a real thriving office in Invermere — our headquarters for the Canadian Rockies Program.

“This corner of B.C. is an important place, because of the large wildlife corridors — for grizzly, elk, moose, wolves, bighorn sheep, migatory birds … It’s an important ecological area for North America, not just southern B.C.” The NCC works with private land owners and corporations such as Teck.

“Our goal is to protect habitat for at least a quarter of Canada’s species at risk,” Neilson said. “So we target areas where there are high concentrations of species at risk.”

The NCC focuses on securing private land

In fact, just this week, group of southern Alberta ranchers banded together to preserve a huge swath of native grassland almost untouched by development.

The Waldron Grazing Co-op has agreed to place a conservation easement on more than 12,000 hectares of roll-

ing prairie and foothills in southwest Alberta.

The NCC which worked on the project, says the $37.5-million deal is the largest of its kind in Canadian history.

The co-op’s 72 ranchers have agreed the land will never be subdivided or farmed and none of its wetlands drained.

They will continue to

own the land and use it for ranching.

Energy development is to be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The land is home to every species native to it — from meadowlarks to grizzly bears.

Over three days, NCC’s volunteer Board of Directors from across the country will participate in business and committee meetings at

St. Eugene, as well as a day‐field trip to visit NCC’s conservation projects in the area.

Since 1962, NCC and its partners have helped to protect more than 2.7 million acres (over 1 million hectares), coast to coast with more than 1 million acres (400,000 hectares) in B.C. With files from Canadian Press

Strathconas a key part of Cranbrook’s history Continued from page 1

When the Boer War began in 1899, Strathcona took it upon himself, with the blessing of the Canadian government, to form and outfit a brand new regiment out of Cranbrook. One of Strathcona’s stipulation was that he have a say in personnel recruitment, and he insisted on Sam Steele being the regiment’s first commanding officer. And so the regiment Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) came into being in 1900 (the “Royal Canadians” was added at the insistence of the Canadian government).

The Strathconas were initially a cavalry regiment, which of course had evolved into an armoured regiment — tanks — by the Second World War (the Strathcona saw a lot of hard fighting in the Italian campaign of WWII, moving to France some

time after D-Day).

Anderson himself enlisted in 1947. Originally from Saskatchewan, he moved to Currie Barracks in Calgary to join the Strathconas.

Anderson served in the same troop (of 32 personnel), as a tanker.

He ultimately ended up as a tank crew commander.

A notable event in Anderson’s military career was his and his unit’s participation as peacekeepers in Vietnam in 1954, shortly after the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, in which the Viet Minh communist-nationalist revolutionaries dealt a crushing defeat to the French Union’s French Far East Expeditionary Corps, effectively ending France’s colony experience in Vietnam. Chinese forces had also invaded Vietnam, from the north.

“There were still

French prisoners (at Dien Bien Phu) when we were there,” Anderson said. “Medical supplies were still being flown into them.”

Vietnam was just in the process of being divided into North Vietnam and South Vietnam. Anderson’s unit was stationed in Hanoi.

“Our job was to basically keep those people who didn’t want to be communist separated from the communists,” he said. The Strathconas helped transport civilians from the communist controlled areas to the port city of Haiphong, from where they would be transported down the coast to Saigon.

Anderson added that he developed a taste for Vietnamese cuisine while in Southeast Asia.

After his tour in Vietnam, Anderson’s regiment returned to Calgary, where he was in-

take it for what its worth.”

The Remembrance Day ceremonies, for example, which Anderson says should be based more on the National Ceremony in Ottawa.

“I’ve been to 45 Remembrance Day ceremonies at the Cenotaph,” he said. “They are very well attended here — there should be more crowd control and organization, and the Legion must make the decisions, not the invited dignitaries.”

Anderson also understands how times have changed for the Legion, how the organization has fallen on harder times, how younger veterans, like those who’ve served in Afghanistan, don’t make the Legion their home the way older veterans did.

But the importance of the Legion, the work it has done, and the postive impact it has had on individual lives, including his own, must not be forgotten, he said.

“The Royal Canadian Legion has done an awful lot of work for every community in this country.”

Fraud charges against a 54-year-old Cranbrook woman have been approved two years after the investigation began.

Back in October 2012, Cranbrook RCMP started the investigation after receiving a complaint of theft/fraud from a local business.

Staff Sgt. Dave Dubnyk said the business owner reported that a long-time employee had been stealing money from the business, alleging she had been paying herself for hours and duties

not actually performed.

“For the past two years, the Cranbrook RCMP have worked in conjunction with forensic accountants, accountants from the victim business, as well as the RCMP’s Provincial Commercial Crime Unit based out of Vancouver,” Dubnyk said. “At the conclusion of the investigation a 54-yearold Cranbrook woman was taken into police custody and is now facing charges of Fraud over $5,000 and Theft over $5,000.”

The woman has since been release from police custody and

is scheduled to appear again in provincial court in Cranbrook on Oct. 6, 2014.

In total it is alleged the accused defrauded her employer of approximately $360,000 over the course of her 14-year tenure with the company. This was a substantial theft and a lengthy investigation, Dubnyk added.

“It is also a very good example of a collaborative effort by our Detachment’s General Investigation Section, the RCMP’s Commercial Crime Unit and the company accountants,” he said.

Pratt announces run for mayor Continued from page 1 “Along with that, we’ve had an increase in costs, services, taxes have gone up, [but] the tax base has gone down.”

Pratt has deep roots in the Cranbrook area— there are six generations of his family that have lived in the city, and he is the fourth generation.

He adds that younger generations are making an exodus to find jobs elsewhere.

“There’s no industry here. Our kids are leaving town to find work and I just think we’re on a path of failure,” Pratt said.

Pratt said he will be releasing specific details on his election campaign in the near future, but noted that there are a few issues he wants to address.

“Basically, I think we have to become more fiscally responsible,” Pratt said.

“I’ve seen a lot of frivolous spending and spending on unnecessary projects, when our infrastructure—namely our roads—are just crumbling.”

Pratt would like to see more funding directed to road improvements.

“There hasn’t been enough money put towards our road program,” Pratt said. “So one of the things I’m going to be dealing with, is roads in particular. I think some of that frivolous spending and some of it that’s budgeted going forward, should be stopped, and those funds put directly into the road improvement.”

He’s been particularly disappointed with the amount of roadwork that has been done.

“The amount of roadwork that was done over the last three years was pathetic, to say the least,” Pratt said. “We

Thursday, OCTOber 2, 2014

have to develop a new strategy that’s going to work and put it to work.

We’ve got to fix the roads that are fixable right now, that can be salvaged, if that means reinstating the seal coating program and pothole repair—bumping that up—then lets do it.

“Then the road repair beyond that, we have to come up with a strategy to resurface them and make them usable.”

Pratt also wants to develop closer relationships with the business community to help it thrive.

“I think we have to work with our business community and support them as much as we can,” he said. “A vibrant business community is needed for any town and these people employ a lot of people also who are taxpayers.

“We’ve got to work with them and try to make them as successful as we can.”

That ties into economic development, which has been struggling, according to Pratt.

“It’s been literally zero,” he said. “Not just with this council for the last three years, but if you look at the history of our economic development, it’s been very, very disappointing, and I think that whole strategy needs to be changed, the approach to it and how it’s implemented.

“I think that economic development department needs to be held accountable for what they are doing or what they have created.”

Candidates have until Friday, Oct. 10, to submit their nominations for mayoral, council and school district trustee elections.

Bay says thanks for help after Honduras accident C AROLYN GR ANT

Four months ago, Richard Bay of Kimberley was lying in a Honduran hospital with a shattered leg, unsure how he was going to pay his medical bills and return to Canada.

Today, he is home, in physical therapy and well on his way to being back on his feet, both physically and financially.

And he owes all that, he says, to the people of Kimberley, and others further

Blissett running for City Council Continued from page 1 Blissett holds bachelors degrees in both forestry and education, as well as a masters degree in leadership and administration. She teaches forestry, math and science at Mt. Baker Senior Secondary School. Previously she worked as a forest educator for a group of East Kootenay forest companies.

Blissett has volunteered for a number of community organizations including Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook, the Cranbrook Community Forest Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Salvation Army, Cranbrook Minor Lacrosse and Kimberley North Star Ski Racers.

“We need to have a variety of people with different work and life experiences to represent the citizens of Cranbrook,” said Blissett. “I’ve worked in the forest industry, taught a few thousand Cranbrook students, and have spoken with hundreds of residents. I think that I can bring a focused energy to get things done on Cranbrook city council.”

afield, who came to his aid.

“I just want to say how thankful I am for all the support,” he said.

“Everyone was so willing to help me. It means a lot.”

Richard had been building a house in Honduras with a buddy last spring, and his health insurance had expired. His fault, he fully admits. He just got busy and forgot to renew it.

Then on May 27, while riding a motorbike, he was hit by a bus. He had four surgeries in Honduras to repair his shattered tibia, fibula and femur.

Medical bills began to mount up and his family began an online fundraising campaign to bring him back to Canada and help with his medical costs. Sister Lisa spoke to the Daily Bulletin. From there the story was picked up by Global TV and the fundraising gathered steam.

The publicity brought Richard’s story to the attention of Trinity Air, which flew him back to Canada at a reduced rate.

He spent a further three weeks in hospital in Calgary for more surgeries before arriving home in Kimberley in July.

Total expenses mounted to about $70,000, but through fundraising close to $40,000 was raised.

Richard is doing physical therapy now, and feels he is making great progress.

Something like this forces you to reevaluate every part of your life, Richard says. What he has also realized is that he comes from a wonderful, generous home town.

“I really found out what was important,” he said. “My friends, my sister, my mom and dad, cousins, just stepping up.

And so much support from people I don’t even know.”

ring, it has gravitas — opened his political show last week with a great deal of outrage over Justin Trudeau photo-bombing a wedding and kissing the bride on the cheek.

This, according to Mr. Levant, showcased a lack of character so deep as to disqualify Mr. Trudeau from leadership. It showed his contempt for the very institution of marriage. He then, shuddering with outrage, went on to rant about the lack of morals of Trudeau’s parents, amid much name-calling and pearl-clutching.

It was later reported by the Globe and Mail and other news sources, that the bride and groom had requested the photo op. In fact, the bride emailed old Ezra and told him so. His reply? Didn’t get the email.

Sure.

In any event, Trudeau said he wouldn’t deal with Sun Media journalists anymore until Quebecor somehow dealt with the insult against his parents.

So Quebecor dealt with it by apologizing for Mr. Levant, who himself has been utterly silent. And the rant remains on his blog. Which, again, doesn’t lend a lot of sincerity to the apology.

So what’s worse? Apologizing while promising to recommit the offence you are apologizing for? Or letting your boss apologize for you while you continue to spout the same nonsense for which your boss is apologizing?

I will let you decide, dear reader. Such weighty matters are beyond me.

Bighorn corridor almost complete F o r t h e Tow n s m a n/ Bulletin

Last week, the sound of chainsaws echoed through the gully separating Lakit and Brewery ridges. A thinning crew was on site to clear out the smaller trees and open a corridor for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The 100-metre wide, 800-metre long corridor stretches over some very rocky ground between the two ridges, which are visible just east of Fort Steele.

The work is part of an ongoing habitat enhancement project that is restoring both ridges. The thinning crew is from Nupqu Development Corporation, a natural resource management consulting and contracting company owned by the communities of the Ktunaxa Nation.

“We’re glad to be completing this corridor,” said Larry Ingham, FLNRO Project Biologist. “It gives bighorn great sightlines to move between their winter grazing habitat areas.”

Brewery and Lakit ridges, just north of the two-kilometre mark on Wildhorse River Forest Service Road, are key habitat for Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, elk and deer. Both

Sunrise Gobblers of the East Kootenay: Part I

T

Thursday, OCTOber 2, 2014

FJ Hurtak

here are about 12 different species of turkeys in North America, and the species we have in the Kootenays is the Merriam’s turkey.

Adult Merriam’s males are clearly distinguished from some of the more popular species, such as the Eastern, Florida, and Rio Grande turkeys, by the nearly white feathers on the lower back and tail feather margins. Its size is comparable to the Eastern turkey, but has a blacker appearance with blue, purple and bronze reflections.

The Merriam’s also appears to have a white rump due to its pinkish buff, or whitish tail coverts and tips. These tail feathers are very conspicuous especially when a strutting gobbler appears against a dark background. In the spring, seeing a mature tom in full plumage strut his stuff at close range is truly a breath taking sight.

I had my first experience hunting turkeys in the southern states in the late sixties, and it was there, as a very young lad, that I gained a great deal of respect for this beautiful bird.

They have incredibly sharp eyesight and hearing, making them a sporting and challenging bird to hunt. In many parts of the U.S., turkey hunting is as much of a religion as elk or whitetail hunting is in the Kootenays. It’s fair to say, I think, that the very poor management of this great game bird in our region would not be tolerated in the U.S., where turkey hunting, particularly in the spring months, is a huge boost for the economy in many small towns and cities.

It was that way here too in 2004, the first year turkeys came off of LEH. I remember Mountain Man Outdoors’ Manager, Randy Martin, telling me that business started to improve at least three weeks before the mid-April spring season actually started.

Merriam’s Wild Turkey

“We achieved a significant increase in business, as hunters were buying calls, guns, ammunition, decoys, and clothing,” Martin said.

Another store owner told me they had hunters in from Illinois, Alert Bay, Fort St. John, the West Coast, Pennsylvania, the Okanagan and much more, and that it resulted in a major increase in business for them. It is a far cry from that these days, and turkey hunting is a mere shadow of what it used to be.

I interviewed Rob Bishop, President of the now defunct East Kootenay Strutters, (a chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation) and he was not surprised at the great influx in business back then.

“Other areas like Ontario showed large increases in business when they instituted their own turkey season, so I didn’t think it would be any different here” Bishop said.

I did that interview in 2005 and Bishop believed then, as he does now, that most hunters want a paid tag system, which will provide essential data to properly manage the species. That was 9 years ago and Ministry officials have really dropped the ball on this issue in my opinion, as we still don’t have a tag system in place. They have cited reasons for not instituting a proper

tag system such as: • We need more time and discussion to be sure the tag system is the way to go.

• We don’t want to over regulate if we don’t have to.

• Wild turkeys pose some risk to natural bio-diversity.

Some say the rationales provided are simply smoke screens to curtail and eliminate turkey populations over time, because the powers-that-be in Victoria do not believe wild turkeys should be part of the landscape in the Kootenays. It’s hard to argue with that logic considering the fact that the Ministry has done nothing in almost a decade to change that opinion; except for expanding the seasons to allow the elimination of more birds.

A paid tag system makes a lot of sense, because it would provide valuable information to manage the species and could even be used in part to fund a compensation program for ranchers who do face crop damage at times from these birds. I do know of some ranchers who also feed turkeys in tough winters because they enjoy having these birds around and for those who do, some money could go to offset the cost of feed. Perhaps they could even be allowed to charge a fee for access to their property, to allow hunters to hunt.

These are just a few of the options, which a legitimate tag system for turkeys would bring.

Dynamiters put undefeated streak on the line this weekend Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

The Kimberley Dynamiters will look to remain undefeated this weekend as they host the Summerland Steam (51-0-0) Friday night before hitting the highway for an important Eddie Mountain Division game in Golden against the Rockets (3-4-0-1).

“That should be our goal, to get a little bit better every day,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks over the phone as he lined up a birdie putt on Hole 11 at Trickle Creek Golf Course Wednesday afternoon. “As a team, you have to have the same goal. You want to get a little bit better. We have to make sure we play our game, not worry about the other team and just do what we do.”

Friday’s tilt at the Kimberley Civic Centre is scheduled for 7 p.m. while Saturday’s road contest in Golden goes at 7:30 p.m.

The Dynamiters (50-0-0) are coming off a pair of victories last week, doubling up the Nelson Leafs 4-2 Friday night on the road before taking down the Castlegar Rebels 7-3 on home ice Saturday Rookie forward Coy Prevost leads the Nitros with five goals and eight point through the teams first five games. Between the pipes, Tyson Brouwer remains the only puck-stopper to see any rubber in 2014-15, having posted a 2.80 goalsagainst average (GAA) and 0.890 save percentage (SP).

The Steam represent one of the more difficult tests for the Dynamiters early in the 2014-15 KIJHL regular season.

Summerland is second in the Okanagan Division, trailing the KIJHL’s only other perfect squad, the Osoyoos Coyotes (7-0-0-0).

The Steam are fuelled by goaltender Brett Huber who leads the league in goals-against

average with a sparkling 1.20 mark. Huber’s 0.957 SP isn’t too shabby either. The 19-year-old Calgary native has posted a 4-1-0 record with one shutout so far this season.

“You want to think of the big picture,” Bancks said. “We’ve got to take care of our own end first.”

Bancks said the game plan is to generate lots of traffic in front of Huber in an effort to burst his bubble.

While the Dynamiters will have the backing of the home crowd Friday, they enter hostile territory Saturday when they travel to Golden.

“They’re going to be a good team,” Bancks said. “They’ll be well coached. They’ve got some key returnees that will play well. “[Golden Arena] is one of the toughest rinks for my players to get up in, for whatever reason.

We have to make sure we get over that.”

But it took until Jan. 17, 2014 for the Nitros to claim their first and only victory at Golden Arena last season, a 2-1 triumph. In four games in Golden, the Nitros were outscored by a com-

bined margin of 13-7. In four games at the Kimberley Civic Centre, the Dynamiters were undefeated against the Rockets, outscoring Golden by a combined tally of 24-7.

“It’s a long day when you go up there and it’s a quiet rink,” Bancks said. “We’ve got to make sure we’re internally motivated because there isn’t going to be anything extra happening [to motivate us].”

The Rockets struggled to a 15-32-1-4 record in 2013-14, good enough for last place in

the Eddie Mountain Division and Kootenay Conference. Goaltender Mitchell Privett and Braeden Allkins lead the Rockets in 2014-15 as they look to ascend out of the Kootenay Conference cellar.

Privett and Allkins represent the two opposing ends of the spectrum in the composition of the Rockets roster.

Privett, a 19-year-old import from Corona, Calif. is 2-3-0 to start the season, with a 2.87 GAA and a 0.910 SP. Allkins is a hometown kid hailing from

DAILY TOWNSMAN / DAILY BULLETIN

“How can you not be romantic about baseball?”

Earlier this week, I received a call from a valued reader and her message was quite simple.

“I’m anxious to read more baseball.”

Kind ma’am, I too am anxious to read more baseball.

We’re privileged in Canada to be surrounded and, at times, suffocated by winter’s greatest sport. Whether it is the dog days of August or the deep-freeze of December; whether you’re on Cape Breton Island or right here at home in Cranbrook, there is always something to be discussed in the world of hockey.

Don’t get me wrong, I love hockey with every ounce of my soul. It’s the reason I chose to pursue this career years ago. It’s what gave me an outlet for my teenage angst growing up. It’s a beautiful game and that won’t ever change.

When a sport consumes us the way hockey often does in Canada, it can be easy to forget the beauty that exists in other athletic endeavours.

On Tuesday evening, the Kansas City Royals and Oakland Athletics brought about the Major League Baseball post-season, entertaining fans with 12 innings of electrifying hardball and reminding sports fans worldwide why baseball is such a powerful pursuit.

For those who missed out, making their first post-season appearance in 29 years, the Royals staged a ninth-inning comeback to force extra innings with the Athletics. After falling behind once again in the top of the 12th inning, the Royals’ Eric Hosmer tied the game with an infield chopper.

Catcher Salvador Perez was 0-for-5 heading into his at-bat with two outs on the board in the 12th inning. None of that mattered as the 24-year-old Venezuelan sent a single down the third-base line, bringing the winning run across home plate.

For the first time all night, Perez left home and ran to first base.

For the first time in nearly three decades, Kansas baseball fans rejoiced.

Sure, the MLB season can be a tiresome slog from April through Septem-

ber. Yes, each team plays through an exhausting 162-game schedule. I understand why the average fan sees his or her interest wane over the course of the campaign.

But when you think how long it has taken for a team like the Kansas City Royals to get where it is today, you begin to appreciate the beauty of baseball.

When October rolls around, each strike thrown matters; each at-bat counts; every Taylor player who pulls a sweater on has the opRocca portunity to etch his legend in the memories of millions.

Embodying Oakland Athletics’ general manager Billy Beane in the critically-acclaimed film “Moneyball,” Brad Pitt said, “How can you not be romantic about baseball?”

Having grown up in Calgary, I was teary-eyed after the Flames fell in Game 7 of the 2004 Stanley Cup Final.

Yes, I was emotional after Ray Bourque finally raised Hockey’s Holy Grail following a storied career. But on a night-to-night basis not even hockey, my true love, can bring a tear to my eye. It takes something monumentally special within winter’s greatest pursuit before I cry like a baby.

Tuesday night, the Oakland Athletics and Kansas City Royals made me fall in love with baseball all over again, and it is just the beginning of the magic month of October.

“How can you not be romantic about baseball?”

Light the candles, bust out the chocolates and bring me a dozen roses -- the MLB post-season is here and I’m head over heels.

R.B. FALLSTROM Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Even with an ever-shifting roster, the St. Louis Cardinals have a chance to reach the NL Championship Series for the fourth straight year.

“When we show up at spring training every year we set our goal to win the World Series,” ace Adam Wainwright said Wednesday. “Anything else is silly. What else are you playing for if that’s not the goal.”

The Cardinals repeated as NL Central champions and made it to the post-season for the 11th time in 15 years by overcoming a sputtering offence and injuries to Yadier Molina, Michael Wacha and Jaime Garcia.

The profile is one of resiliency heading into an NL Division Series against the Dodgers that starts Friday at Los Angeles, which will start two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw.

“I’m pitching against the Dodgers. All this me vs. Kershaw stuff is blown way out of proportion,” Wainwright said. “I understand it’s good TV.” Molina missed two months with a torn ligament in his right thumb, Wacha missed two months with a shoulder injury. Garcia lasted just 12 starts before surgery to relieve nerve compression.

Molina’s injury had

“The conversations we had as we were popping champagne was, ‘Don’t take this for granted because there’s some guys who had incredible careers who have never done it one time,”’ the manager said.

“This will be the last time for somebody in here. That’s just kind of the facts. The game will humble you if you start taking the perspective that this is just going to happen all the time.”

This time last fall, Pat Neshek was looking for work, Jhonny Peralta was rebuilding his reputation with the Tigers, Randal Grichuk was a future throw-in in a deal that sent former October hero David Freese packing and John Lackey was about to augment his reputation as a big-game pitcher by beating the Cardinals twice in the

World Series.

All four figure to play key roles against the high-spending Dodgers.

“We battled through the ups and downs and we got there,” first baseman Matt Adams said.

“I think what helps us is knowing the core group of guys on this team have been in the playoffs basically every year.”

Peralta hit a teamhigh 21 homers and has been smooth at shortstop. Grichuk batted .320 the final month with two homers and four RBIs, playing his way into a platoon with top prospect Oscar Taveras. Grichuk likely will start the opener.

“I really just try to go up there and play with confidence,” Grichuk said. “I looked terrible when I first was up here.

I decided, ‘Hey, I’ve got to play my game.”’

the potential to be devastating but A.J. Pierzynski and Tony Cruz filled the void, and the Cardinals moved into the division lead for good two days after Molina returned in August.

“I thought our guys did a nice job considering all of baseball said we couldn’t win a game without him,” manager Mike Matheny said.

“That’s a knock on the rest of the guys. They realize that this stuff happens and you’ve just got to figure out a way to keep going.”

Four straight postseasons is a franchise best for the 90-win Cardinals, who won the 2011 World Series in Tony La Russa’s final season.

Burn Fund Calendar now on sale Arne Petryshen Townsman Staff

The Cranbrook Firefighters’ Burn Fund calendar is out now. Each year the funds raised from sales of the calendar go to programs that benefit burn survivors and their families in B.C. This is the third year of the calendar, which includes schedules for School District 5 and 6, Kootenay Ice and Kimberley Dynamiters home games and community events.

All the proceeds from the sales go to the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, a registered charity under the arm of the B.C. Professional Fire Fighters’ Association.

Cranbrook firefighter Murray Robertson said the calendar campaign has so far been successful.

“In the last two years we’ve raised over $12,000,” said Robertson.

The Burn fund camp is a one week camp where they fly in kids

from all over B.C. One little girl was even flown out of the Whitehorse as well.

“They basically just treat them like kings for a week and give them the opportunity to hang out with kids who have been through similar experiences,” Robertson explained. “So it’s pretty huge on their healing both mentally, physically and emotionally.”

Robertson has been a councillor at the camp for three years.

The camp is always in July.

“The past three years we’ve done it on Gambier Island,” he said.

“This year we’re going to Squamish.”

Gambier Island is located within Howe Sound.

Robertson said they have also broke ground on the Burn Fund building in Vancouver.

“Construction should start in November and it should be done in a year,” he said.

“It will house the Burn Fund head office.”

It will also house a place for the Future is Mine Adult Burn Survivor to meet.

On the second floor there will be eight suites for families of burn survivors to stay in while their loved ones are recovering in the hospital or coming back for surgery.

Robertson said he’s seen the Burn Fund help people in a number of ways, with the camp being just one part.

“We’re also doing fire prevention in elementary schools,” he said.

“That’s how we got the poster for the calendar is through the Burn Awareness Week poster contest. We’re trying to educate kids to prevent burns because the majority of burns are preventable with a little bit of education and knowledge.”

The calendar began when Robertson approached Karen Johnston, publisher of the Cranbrook Daily Townsman. For Johnston the

calendar was a way to give back to the community.

The Townsman manages advertising sales, communication and production of the

calendar and it is printed locally at Rocky Mountain Print Solutions.

Each calendar costs $10 and can be purchased at the Towns-

man, the fire hall, city hall, Western Financial Place leisure services, Nutters, Chamber of Commerce and Fitness Inc. Robertson is also

hoping to get the calendars in other businesses, so if you are interested in having the calendars for sale contact Robertson through the fire hall at 250-426-2325.

Jimmy Carter turns 90 Associated Press

ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter celebrated his 90th birthday Wednesday in Atlanta, blowing out three candles representing the past, present and future and thanking family and friends for their support and love.

“It’s been a good first 90 years,’’ the 39th president joked before telling the crowd gathered in a chapel on The Carter Center grounds that he is looking forward to much more work. Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, founded the international health and human rights organization after leaving the White House.

Carter said his life was most shaped by his marriage to Rosalynn and growing up in Plains, Georgia, where he worked and played with black children who didn’t have the same rights as he because of their race. Carter said he still feels guilt for not realizing sooner

how wrong that was.

Being elected president, he said, was the highlight of his political life.

However, he said he’s had the “best times’’ of his life since establishing The Carter Center, “this beautiful place on earth that has set moral and ethical standards that exemplify what a superpower like America ought to be.’’

Rosalynn Carter choked up while introducing her husband, telling him she’s proud of him for both his work and the family they built together. As for what’s next, Rosalynn Carter said only one thing is certain.

“It will be something because Jimmy Carter is miserable if he’s not doing something,’’ she said, laughing with the crowd.

Carter is the second-oldest of the five living U.S. presidents. He was born 111 days after President George H.W. Bush, who celebrated his 90th birthday earlier this year.

Literacy fund-raising campaign approaching Tre vor Cr awley Townsman Staff

Local business and community leaders are teaming up with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy to raise money for the Reach a Reader campaign.

Now in it’s fourth year, the campaign, which occurs in communities across the Basin, is designed to raise money for for literacy programs. All money raised in Cran-

brook will stay in the community.

Improving literacy rates improves quality of life, according to Katherine Hough, community literacy coordinator for CBAL. “Literacy is not just reading and writing and numeracy, but they cover all aspects of life,” said Hough. “We know that people with improved literacy skills get more involved in the community, they’re

more likely to volunteer, they’re more active with their children.

“They become their child’s best teacher, because they have the skills to support their children in school.”

People from all backgrounds and walks of life can benefit from improving their literacy, Hough added.

“Here, we see in Cranbrook, so many people who have missed learning opportunities,

whether they’re 19-year-old single moms who are wanting to finish their Grade 12 or seniors who are coming back to learn computer skills, their lives are improved through that reconnection with their education,” she said.

Though for a good cause, the campaign is competitive in nature as local business and community leaders attempt to out raise those from

other communities across the Basin. Cranbrook holds the title as the top fundraising community in the Kootenay region.

“This is an annual initiative for Black Press and CBAL and it has been very successful,” said Chuck Bennett, Group Publisher for Black Press, Kootenays.

“We think working with literacy in our local communities across the region is an important

project for us at Black Press. We think it is critical that we support literacy and can’t think of a better place for us to put our energies behind.”

Mayor Stetski and councillor Sharon Cross, along with Jason Wheeldon and members of the College of the Rockies Avalanche volleyball team, will be out and about in Cranbrook. All will be easily recognizable (except for Wheeldon—who knows what his costume will be this year?) by their enthusiastic sales pitches and their Black Press newspaper carrier bags.

Through a donation to the campaign, anyone can pick up a copy of the Daily Townsman or the Kootenay Advertiser.

Max’s Place will be donating a portion of their coffee sales to the campaign, while the Heidout will be doing the same, along with proceeds from a lunch special. Volunteers will be stationed at the Cranbrook Public Library and the Tamarack Centre as well.

“This is a campaign that hits close to home,” said Karen Johnston, Daily Townsman publisher. “As a child, I overcame reading challenges because I had a great teacher who helped me discover the value of literacy and the knowledge it brings. I am very excited to see the community come together to raise money and awareness for such an important program.”

Group lobbied ministers over RCMP plan to trade muskrat hats for tuques C an ad i an Press

OTTAWA — A national fur lobby says it raised objections with federal ministers upon learning the RCMP planned to begin outfitting officers with tuques instead of muskrat hats.

Glen Doucet of the Fur Institute of Canada says the organization made its concerns known to the environment and public safety ministers after seeing a recent media report about the move.

Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq announced Tuesday the government was ordering the Mounties to

keep wearing the customary winter headgear.

The RCMP wrote to an animal-rights group in early August to say it had tested a tuque that works well in normal winter conditions, and that it would supply the new hat to cadets.

The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals had encouraged the Mounties to find a replacement for the muskrat hat, saying the animals are caught in body-gripping traps that leave them exposed to numerous hazards before they die.

Expanded farm uses plan meets strong opposition Tom Fletcher Black Press

Black Press files

Allowing breweries and distilleries on farmland, as wineries and cideries are now, was one of the few popular ideas in the B.C. government’s consultation tour of changes to ALR regulations.

The B.C. government’s proposals to expand food processing, retail and alcohol sales on farmland got a rough ride during a summer consultation tour with farmers, local governments and individuals

The government’s suggestion to allow larger tasting areas for wine, cider and potentially beer and distilled liquor was also rejected by “a considerable majority” of respondents. Selling alcoholic products not produced on the host farm was also opposed by a large majority, with opposition strongest in the North and Vancouver Island regions.

The loudest opposition came in response to the suggestion to allow a wider range of non-farm activities without approval of the ALC. The strongest supporters were landowners in Zone 2 (Interior, Kootenay and North regions).

Oil and gas services on farmland are already allowed in northeastern B.C. under supervision of the Oil and Gas Commission.

The proposal to waive ALC approval for farmland subdivisions larger than a quarter section (64 hectares) was also opposed by a large majority, but the suggestion of leasing farmland to put it into production was widely supported.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick is preparing regulation changes for the cabinet approval, and hopes to have new regulations in place by the end of the year.

The consultation received more than 1,500 submissions by mail, email and through its website, and held meetings in Kelowna, Kamloops, Prince George, Fort St. John, Cranbrook, Nanaimo and Abbotsford.

invited to comment.

The agriculture ministry released a summary of submissions this week, after closed-door meetings in August with community, farming, ranching and agricultural industry representatives. The meetings were set up to develop regulations after the province passed legislation this spring, dividing the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones with the intent of easing restrictions on farm-related and non-farm revenue activities.

A proposal to revise regulations restricting food storage, processing and retail sales, requiring half of products to be produced on the farm, was rejected by “a considerable majority of stakeholders from all regions,” the summary states.

With wineries and cideries already allowed on farmland, a proposal to extend the regulation to include breweries, distilleries and meaderies was supported by a majority in all regions, particularly from local governments in Zone 1, the Lower Mainland, Okanagan and Vancouver Island.

Wineries and cideries are allowed without approval from the Agricultural Land Commission, as long as half of the materials are produced on the farm. Some questioned whether that rule would work for breweries and distilleries, with hops, malting barley and distilling grain not produced in large quantities in B.C.

Ninth Annual

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your reactions could come across as strong and harsh. You probably can’t hide your feelings, but you might feel very awkward when dealing with a child or loved one. Your response could shock even you. Relax and think before you speak. Tonight: Out and about.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Reach out to someone you care about, but know that what you hear might surprise you. You come from a solid point of view.

Offbeat thinking will force you to stop and regroup, and you will come up with a practical plan as a result. Tonight: Let someone be distant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Recognize that you have control over yourself but not someone else. In fact, a close loved one or family member will need to figure out his or her own priorities. You can help or comment, but you might risk having this person close down if you do.

Tonight: Visit over dinner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might consider having a heart-to-heart talk with someone who seems to be in control of his or her life, and it could have a big effect on you.

Use good sense with spending.

Someone will reach out to invite you to join him or her for some fun. Tonight: Say “yes.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be at odds with your own plans now that you are at the point of acting on them. A new insight will encourage you to back off and rethink what you are doing. Some caution could go a long way! Tonight: Get several important errands done.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have a lot to share, and so do others. Your goodwill and caring will come through. You will see the results of someone’s decisions. Communication flourishes. If you are single, you could be looking at more than a friendship. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep your priorities straight,

Tundra

and stay anchored. Let others put in their two cents. You might feel as if there is a lack of support from an important friend. Use caution when spending money on an investment or a home repair. Investigate alternatives.

Tonight: Hang with your friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be overly concerned about a call or email. Do some research before reacting -- there will be another path to the same result. You might want to rethink a decision with care. Know what you desire from a situation. Tonight: Find your friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will like being mellow. You might not be in the mood to take action, but a sudden reversal could cause your adrenaline to surge. Once energized, you naturally will respond and make the right choices. The cheerleader in you returns. Tonight: Make it OK to say “no.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will think that you are on cruise control, but you are likely to hit some obstacles if you are not careful. A well-meaning

friend could make you feel unusually self-conscious. You might need to stop and regroup.

Tonight: Decide what you want before making plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might not be comfortable assuming the role you are in, yet you’ll see the benefits. You could be dealing with a difficult person and will need to revise your thinking accordingly. Trying to control this person will backfire, and it won’t bring what you want. Tonight: Vanish.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A meeting could set the tone of your day. You have so much energy that others won’t be able to keep up with you. Take an overview, and question whether you are approaching a situation in the best, most positive way possible. Tonight: Act like the weekend is here.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Recently, our 18-year-old son chose to take his life soon after his high school graduation. Now we are left trying to pick up the pieces and move forward. We live in a small community, and everyone is well aware of what happened.

Our youngest son just started the sixth grade and came home sad. He says he feels that he doesn’t have friends anymore and that everyone is talking about him behind his back. The parents of his used-to-be friends have shunned him because of what has happened in our family. I have felt the snubbing as well with my own encounters.

I have contacted our middle school guidance counselor, and she will keep an eye out for our son, but how do we stand up for ourselves? We feel devastated. We not only lost our beloved son, but we feel like outcasts in our own community. Moving is not a possibility right now. What can we do? -- Confused and Hurting Dear Confused: Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your son. We know this is a terribly painful time for your family, and it is hardly a comfort for us to say that time will alleviate some of your concerns about your community. Until then, please contact the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org). You can find information, referrals to therapists, and support groups where you can share your grief with others who have suffered a similar tragedy. They also can connect you to support groups for children and teens.

Dear Annie: Our father has become a rather strange miser. He doesn’t hoard his money. Instead, he manipulates others to obtain things for free.

When he needed Band-Aids, he finagled a handful when he went to the doctor (and also asked for pharmaceutical samples).

When he needed rubber bands, he stopped the postman. He tells his neighbor that he’s a horrible cook and encourages them to bring him their leftovers.

Money is not the issue. Is he being a master manipulator, or is this normal? -- Bewildered in California Dear California: A lot of people do this, either to save money or because they get a mild thrill out of the ability to snag freebies.

If Dad has always been like this, we wouldn’t worry. He isn’t stealing or hoarding, and people are willing to enable this behavior.

However, if this is a recent development, please get Dad to his doctor for a full checkup. New and odd behaviors can be symptoms of underlying medical conditions (e.g., small strokes) that require treatment.

Dear Annie: You often recommend AlAnon for spouses of alcoholics. I was led to Al-Anon 38 years ago, and it saved my life and those of my children. I learned about how alcoholism affects the whole family. I also learned that we are so centered on the alcoholic that our lives revolve around him.

But in Al-Anon, I changed my focus and became happier.

My husband was a wonderful man afflicted by the disease of alcoholism. I tried for 10 years to change him, only to discover that I probably hindered his recovery by thinking his drinking was partly my fault. Discovering that he was sick and that I had also become sick because of his drinking was an eye opener. Three years before he died, he wrote that if it hadn’t been for the Al-Anon program, we would not be together today.

What a beautiful written memory our children have of their father.

I encourage anyone out there to try AlAnon. You might be surprised at what you can learn at a meeting. For information, call 1-888-4AL-ANON (1-888-425-2666) or visit www.al-anon.alateen.org. -- B.

2. Credibility: The credibility of the newspaper brand

extends to the advertiser. Fifty-nine percent of Web users agree that online advertising is more believable from a trusted Web site. Online, newspaper Web sites are the dominant local media site in most markets.

3. Targeted: If you want to focus on a particular backyard, advertising in an online newspaper is more personal, and more relevant because it is local.

Newspapers also publish a plethora of niche sites (youth, women, movie fans, seniors, are illustrative) for virtually any demographic advertisers could possibly hope to reach.

4. Purchasing power: Sixty-two percent of newspaper

Web site users purchase online compared with 49 percent of general users. Thirty-nine percent of online newspaper users have incomes higher than $75,000; 65 percent own their homes. Fifty percent of online newspaper users have spent more than $500 online in the last six months, and 63 percent of online newspaper users prefer to find out about new products through the Internet.

5. Content: After e-mail, the most preferred Web

content is news, sports, financial information, entertainment news, and shopping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in that order. Sixtytwo percent of Internet users visit online newspapers for local news, compared with 39 percent for the local TV station Web site and 23 percent for the local radio station site. Not even Yahoo! or AOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Digital City can top this.

6. Retailers prefer newspaper sites: Sixty-five percent of retailers report that newspaper sites are efficient in assisting them in meeting marketing needs compared with other sites.

7. High profile: Research.net reports that, among top executives (CEO, CIO, CFO or owner/partner), Internet advertising ranked above over all other media measured for: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to find our about new products,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where I prefer to receive information about companies,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where modern, up-to-date brands advertise.â&#x20AC;? At the same time, these early adopters of technology also skew younger than the traditional newspaper audience.

Forty percent of online newspaper users are aged 18-35.

8. Reinforcement: Seventy-six percent of online newspaper users also read the newspaper in the past seven days, and repetition increases awareness. The Internet Advertising Bureau found that, by increasing the number of online banners from one to two per week, branding results on three key metrics increased 42 percent making online a great, inexpensive way to increase the branding lift of traditional campaigns.

9. Quality: Seventy-five percent of advertisers generally said newspaper Web sitesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; advertising was as good or better than other Internet sites.

10. Mix: A variety of recent studies have demonstrated the power of online, when included in a mix with traditional media, to elaborate the brand message.

Newspaper print and online products combined have the highest penetration and most desirable audience of any other local medium.

Causes and Treatments for Adrenal Fatigue

Grand Canyon officials try to outsmart elk ASSOCIATED PRESS

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Grand Canyon officials have reduced waste by banning disposable plastic water bottles and installing water stations for visitors.

But a new problem sprung up: Elk are helping themselves to water at the stations by lifting spring-loaded levers with their noses.

Now, officials plan to elk-proof the stations to

outsmart the animals, conserve water and protect visitors from aggressive behaviour by the animals.

They are experimenting with a cage around the spouts at one water station and will change the way it’s turned on.

“They got a little aggressive about it,” chief resource manager Martha Hahn said.

“They were pretty

protective of that water and wanting to get it first.”

About a dozen of the filling stations are set up throughout the park, but the elk favour one at South Kaibab Trail because it allows them to easily duck back into the woods.

The elk don’t always back down when visitors approach.

Instead, they take a firm stance, particularly

By: Dr. Darcie Pawlick BSc, ND

It is common for patients to report low energy as a concern at our initial visits. After ruling out other causes of fatigue, like hypothyroidism and anemia the adrenal glands are another factor to consider. There are many reasons as to why the adrenal glands can become depleted over time which include chronic stress, chronic caffeine use, chronic infections and poor diet. Adrenal fatigue symptoms include, but are not limited to: fatigue, not waking rested, difficulty getting up in the morning, difficulty coping with stress, feeling energetic after 6pm and cravings for sweet and salty. Four point salivary cortisol testing is an invaluable tool that can be used to assess adrenal function throughout the day to see where support is needed in that individual patient. However, a trial with diet and lifestyle modifications, botanical medicine and nutritional supplementation can also be done.

The most important dietary treatment is ensuring you are eating a whole foods diet which is balanced properly with healthy proteins, carbohydrates and fats. It is also important to eliminate caffeine intake from the diet as it is difficult to replenish the adrenal glands if you are still depleting them with caffeine use. Alternatives to coffee include Swiss water decaf coffee, green tea and licorice tea. (It is important to note that green tea does have a small amount of caffeine which is needed to absorb EGCG, a beneficial antioxidant.) Lifestyle treatments include finding reliable coping mechanisms to deal with stress like exercise, yoga, meditation and deep breathing.

Vitamin C and B5 are essential nutrients that are specific for replenishing and balancing adrenal function. Other nutrients that can be considered are: B vitamins, magnesium and zinc as these are commonly deficient in patients with adrenal fatigue. Glandulars, which are sourced from bovine adrenal cortrex can help tonify the adrenals when they are severely depleted. Botanical medicines that can be used include Licorice, Siberian ginseng, Ashwagandha and Relora. It is imperative that treatments are individualized to each patient’s needs based on symptoms and lab testing (if completed) to ensure the most therapeutic benefit.

charged at wildlife biologists trying to disperse herds with as many as 20 elk by staring them down and shooting them with paintball and water guns, wildlife biologist Brandon Holton said.

“Some move, some don’t,” he said.

“Sometimes when you shoot them with water guns, they open their mouth.”

For now, the water station at South Kaibab Trail is on winter mode, which means it operates through a button rather than the lever.

The elk haven’t figured that one out yet but they do drink water left on the ground after tourists use the stations.

Hahn said a retrofit should be in place soon to deter the elk and discourage people from cleaning up at the watering station.

when protecting calves or during fall rutting season.

Flagstaff resident Ian Tong was hiking rim to rim at the canyon with three other people in 2012 when they saw an elk guarding the water station at South Kaibab Trail.

The elk tried to intimidate the group by making clicking sounds with its mouth and following them on either side of the filling station, he said.

“It definitely was a ‘go away’ kind of thing,” Tong said Tuesday. “She wasn’t wanting to share.”

Still, he said elk encounters are part of experiencing nature and he saw no problem with them at the watering stations.

The elk haven’t hurt anyone at the stations, but the animals have

DNA reveals secrets of monarch butterfly evolution Associated Press

NEW YORK — Monarch butterflies are famous for migrating from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico for the winter.

Now a surprising study suggests the species itself also started out in North America some 2 million years ago.

Researcher Marcus

$10

Kronforst of the University of Chicago said monarchs were widely thought to have evolved in South or Central America instead. But DNA from 80 monarchs sampled from the Americas and as far away as Europe and Australia points to a North American origin, maybe in the southern

a

United States or northern Mexico.

Kronforst also said scientists had thought the monarch arose from a non-migrating ancestor. But the new study concludes the ancestor did migrate.

The study was released Wednesday, October 1 by the journal Nature.

It happened this week in Cranbrook

For the week of Sept. 28 – Oct. 4 Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1898 New Presbyterian Minister ... Rev. Ball arrived last week from the Manitoba College to take charge of the Presbyterian Church and Rev. McPherson will go to Ainsworth where he will be stationed. Rev. Ball says that the work of securing funds for the new church is progressing favourably, and that already about $350 have been subscribed.

A Narrow Escape ...

The Royal Hotel had a narrow escape from fire on Tuesday evening. A boarder who occupied a room through which a stovepipe passed from the first floor, for some unaccountable reason piled his clothing, a roll of carpet and some bedding against the pipe and left it. About 6 o’clock smoke was discovered issuing from one of the windows on the second story, and the alarm was given and the blaze soon extinguished. The clothing and carpet were burned to a crisp, the walls were burned through in several places, the windows

cracked by the heat and if the fire had had two or three minutes more time the hotel would have been lost.

1899 Costigan and His Bear Story ... J. R. Costigan spent several days hunting and fishing on Moyie Lake this week.

Mr. Costigan is a keen sportsman and is equipped to fully enjoy the fun. He had a great story about killing a black bear a few hundred yards away from the camp, and was telling it with all the enthusiasm of the intrepid hunter to a party of friends who met him at the station on his return.

Unfortunately, Tommy Michaud, the Frenchman who attended him on his trip, was present, and could not refrain from indulging in a comprehensive smile that gave the snap away.

Costigan says that hereafter he will have the conditions ripe before he tells another bear tale.

Continued Growth … N. Hanson, who is one of the largest property owners in Cranbrook, was in the city this week. Speaking of Cranbrook, he said that this town had now ar-

rived at a stage in its growth when there was no longer any doubt as to the prosperity of the future. He looks to see Cranbrook develop into a most important commercial center.

Many New Homes ...

At the present time there are from twelve to fifteen parties ready to build homes as soon as the question of receiving deeds from the townsite company is adjusted. A deed is necessary to secure a loan from the building and loan society that is represented in Cranbrook by a local board, and the matter will no doubt be settled by Land Commissioner Hamilton without delay. A majority of the applicants are railroad men who desire to bring their families to Cranbrook.

New School House ... The lumber is on the ground for the new school house, but the directors are in hopes that they may receive orders to enlarge the building before work is under headway. The size contemplated in the plans provided by the government is totally inadequate for the present needs, to say nothing of the immediate future.

The New Methodist Church ... Work is progressing rapidly on the new Methodist church.

The building is being constructed with an incline floor, which will be a great improvement over the level floor, and other features will be added that will contribute to the comfort and convenience of those who attend.

1901 The Fair … Although the weather was not favourable, rain and cold winds contributing to the general discomfort of the three days, yet the crowds in attendance were large, and the consensus of opinion was a hearty approval of the efforts of the management to exploit the resources of the district.

The horse races were not as good as had been expected, owing to a number of events not being filled. Good purses had been offered, but owing to the fact that as yet no circuit has been formed in the Kootenays, it is difficult to get a satisfactory line of speeders in attendance.

This, of course, will change in time, and the Cranbrook track will yet be the scene of some fast races, both of bang tails and wheels.

The Baby Show ...

The baby show was held Wednesday morning in the mineral tent, and attracted a large crowd.

There were a number of entries, and the prize was awarded by the votes of those present.

The contest resulted in a victory for Mrs. Mooney’s baby.

The Band ... The work of the Cranbrook Citizens band at the fair brought forth many encomiums of praise. Notwithstanding the fact that the band has been organized only a few weeks the members played like veterans.

People from all parts of the district had many good words to offer for the work done, and hereafter the band will be in demand.

No Rugby Game ...

The local Rugby players met with a disappointment last Saturday, when they received word that the Nelson boys could not come over for the game scheduled for that morning.

Dr. King felt sorry about it. A Rugby game is a bonanza for a doctor.

Injured By Gas Explosion ... Mrs. Londane, while investigating an acetylene gas plant at N. Hanson’s

place with a lamp to find the leak, caused an explosion that resulted in severe injuries to herself. She was brought to St. Eugene Hospital Friday, and is doing very well now.

Wounded But Still Alive ... Last Monday a Mason & Risch piano, owned by George Leask, and loaned to A. Rookes & Son for the fair display, fell from the wagon while being moved. The accident resulting in the case being a total wreck, the tone and mechanism remaining perfect, which is a most convincing proof that the firm has given to the public a perfect instrument. As soon as a convenient place for its exhibit can be obtained we will be pleased to have the public call and test its tone qualities.

1902 The Perry Creek Dredger ... James McDonell of Morrissey has been in town the past few days superintending the removal of the steam shovel that is to be used for dredging in Perry Creek. The shovel arrived Monday and was taken to the siding at Wanklyn and then taken over the hills to Perry Creek. It will take about three weeks to get

the machine installed ready for work, and the company, in which Messrs. McDonell, Foss, Ross and Banks are the leading stockholders, will then push the work as long as the season will permit. Their leases cover some valuable ground and the results are waited for very anxiously by a great many people.

Holdup … John Fink, brother of J. P. Fink, and well known in South East Kootenay, was among the passengers held up last week on a stage coach near Stites, Idaho. The robbers did not get much from John, but gave him a touch of high life.

Weather … Fall is here, and nature now is using the hand of an artist in giving the rich tints to the luxuriant foliage.

It is a pleasing sight to look upon the mountains capped with snow, while lower down there is the magnificent colouring brought about by the touch of King Frosts’ hand upon the summer garb of the bushes and trees. The lover of nature is happy these days in the magnificent pictures presented.

That time I emotionally ate an entire pizza Let’s back up a couple of years so you can really live this one with me. So my life was kind of, how do you say, falling apart? I was feeling depressed and useless, unfulfilled, with no plan or direction. I was still working a job I hated, had gained 20 lbs making me feel unattractive, and was throwing a pity party for myself on the drive home. Suddenly I thought “Screw it; I’m going to get pizza.” I started planning it all out in my head, no one was at home, and I wouldn’t get caught and judged.

Can you see me at home, alone, covered in sauce, eating through tears?

As you can imagine, I ate until I felt sick, the whole thing. My boyfriend was out of town working for the next two days, so I had time to dispose of the evidence.

Right? Of course not. As

soon as I finished the entire pizza, he came home early, waltzed right in and over to my empty box of shame, so

eager, so hopeful. I can see it playing in slow motion in my head; he opens the box so slowly...

“Did you seriously eat an entire pizza?”

And that my friends, is called emotional eating. That was pretty much the point I decided something needed to be done. While healthy food choices are vital for

weight loss, emotional eating is an added bonus we get to work through. Lucky for you, I’ve done the leg work and found what truly heals the problem, not just minimizes the symptoms. Many people try to go on diets, and control their food choices by restricting themselves. While emotional eating usually comes from a feeling of restriction or lack of affection, diets will just make the problem worse by creating a bigger binge after the diet is over, plus most diets are not sustainable.

Every time we are eating for reasons other than hunger, we are emotionally eating.

Common emotions that lead us to overeat include: loneliness, sadness, anxiety, depression, fear, stress, as a reward, and even as self sabotage. When you are eating until you feel un-

comfortable, when you weren’t even hungry, there is usually something going on in your life that you are avoiding, or don’t know how to work through. I see this “issue” appear in a relationship or career the most often, although it can be any stressor.

While working through the issue will certainly bring relief, mending your relationship with food is of the utmost importance, if suffering from emotional eating.

So what are we suppose to do exactly?

Mindfully Eat. Mindful eating is essentially eating with intention, savoring your food, rather than eating for reasons other than hunger. Being fully present, and enjoying the entire experience of eating, as fulfilling and also necessary. Developing a healthy, strong relationship with food will banish your out of control

binges for good.

Here are 10 tips to eat with intention, and repair your relationship with food. Just start with one or two, and add in more as you feel comfortable.

1. Eat when you feel hungry 2. Eat sitting down in a calm space, not including your car 3. Breathe, taking deep, slow breathes will help to relax and help you focus 4. Eat until you are satisfied - not stuffed *tip - push your plate to the side, and wait 10 minutes, if you are still hungry keep eating, but usually that’s enough time to feel satisfied and no longer hungry* 5. Be grateful, for where your food came from, who prepared it, who grew/raised it 6. Eat in full view of others (or with the intention if you are at home; no hiding)

7. Make it special, light a candle, use fancy plates or utensils 8. No distractions TV, computer, conversations that are making you feel bad in any way 9. Chew your food chewing your food at least 30 times each mouthful ensures the food is properly broken down, which makes it easier to digest for your stomach and intestines 10. Use all your senses; notice the colors, smells, textures, tastes Emotional eating can affect anyone, and mindful eating can be done anywhere, even at work.

Take the time on your lunch break to turn off the computers, and savor your food.

Start with being grateful before every meal; it will have a huge effect. Developing a healthy relationship with food will have so many positive influenc-

es in your life, it is certain to spill over into other areas. For me, I started losing weight, which gave me more confidence, I went back to school, got a new career, and finally came to terms with my past. Just from slowing down and eating with intention.

Let’s make the next meal count, by slowing down, being grateful, and appreciating your delicious meal.

What two tips are you going to try at your next meal? Would you like to learn more about emotional eating and how to stop for good? Curious about how health coaching can help you make your own healthy changes?
