Mayor Ron McRae announces he will run again Two-time Mayor seeks a third term C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Mayor Ron McRae ended speculation about his political intentions Wednesday, when he formally announced that he would see a third term.

It was something of an open secret that McRae would run again.

“If people asked me directly, I have always responded that I fully intended to run again,” said McRae. “Embarking on an election campaign changes things and it was my intention to continue to focus on the business of the City for as long as possible. I’m privileged to have had the honour to work together with this community to shape its future.

With the community’s continued trust, I will remain committed to being a part of Kimberley’s leadership.”

McRae believes Kimberley is headed in the right direction and points to a renewed sense of vibrancy around town.

Mayor Ron McRae “I have spoken with many business owners who have reported best-ever seasons this past year and there is no doubt that great things are happening here. It hasn’t been easy. We’ve had to work incredibly hard to transition the community from a mining-based economy to a more progressive and diverse economy.”

When McRae uses the word vibrancy he means more than just in an economic sense.

“I’m talking about the vibrancy of the people of Kimberley,” he said. “Just look at the Oktoberfest First Saturday last week — you could feel it. That positivity tends to get overlooked. We tend to im-

merse ourselves in negativity.

“It’s not just about economics. It’s about everything else that makes Kimberley the way it is.

“In large part,the majority of people in Kimberley are proud to say they live here. That’s critically important. A positive view and a forward looking vision are the type of things an investor is looking for.

They want to invest in a community that is prepared to invest in itself.”

The work is far from done, McRae says.

“Changing 100 years of history doesn’t happen overnight. But I am proud we have managed to make ongoing changes which enhance rather than erode our sense of community, our culture and our sense of purpose.”

It is economic development within the context of maintaining this sense of community that will be McRae’s focus if reelected.

“There is no quick fix and no silver bullet here.

A much needed foundation has been developed to lead Kimberley into the future.

Bluegrass birds will take flight at KCT

John Reischman and the Jaybirds play Cranbrook Oct. 18 Barry Coulter

An old friend is returning to Cranbrook next week. And as always, the music should be stellar.

John Reischman and

the Jaybirds are playing Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre Saturday, Oct. 18. Reischman, one of the premier mandolinists playing today, and his renowned troupe

the Jaybirds, provide an elegant but hard-driving bluegrass sound that blends the traditional and the progressive.

And they love playing the Cranbrook-Kimberley area.

“It’s our favourite place to play — or at least one of the top three,” Reischman told the Townsman in an interview this week. “Early in our first days, that’s one of the first places we came to play, and we got a really warm reception.

We’ve liked coming back ever since.”

Besides Reischman on mandolin, the Jaybirds are made up of Jim Nunally on guitar, Greg Spatz on fiddle, Trisha Gagnon on bass and Nick Hornbuckle on banjo. Together they cover a vast amount of territory, musically and geographically, with individual bases in Seattle, Spokane, California and British Columbia — an all-Cascadia lineup. Reischman says their far-flung nature is no obstacle to playing

said. “But it’s the right combination of people, so that the challenges are overcome by the fact that we feel comfortable playing music with each other, and being on the road together is very easy.

“It’s going on 15 years, and it still feels good and fresh whenever we get together.”

Fifteen years with the Jaybirds’ original lineup. Does one develop and intuition, or telepathy, with playing with the same people over a length of time?

“To a certain extent, you get used to what people are going to do, when you work up stuff, and you can do stuff spontaneously, without really having to say anything about it,” Reischman said. “Everyone’s really familiar with everyone else’s playing at this point. But I have to say that from the first time that combination got together, it felt comfortable, it felt good.”

Originally from northern California, Reischman knew and had played with Jim Nunally, and in fact got him in to play and co-produce Reischman’s solo album “Up in the Woods.”

“The band really started after I had moved to Canada,” Reischman said. “We started in 1999, in order to promote ‘Up in the Woods.’

I had met Nick Hornbuckle in Seattle, I really loved his playing, and he’s on that record. And I was familiar with Trisha’s playing, from a band she had with her

sister called Tumbleweed, and I ended up playing some casual gigs here and there with her and Chris Stevens, who’s a great B.C. based bluegrass musician.

“And then I knew Greg Spatz from when I lived in California as well. I never really set out to form a full-time band, but I wanted to promote that record, so I booked some shows with essentially the same band but without Jim. So after the band started going, Jim joined about a year later.”

The Jaybirds have been touring Europe and North America for years. They’ve released five acclaimed albums and been nominated for Juno and Canadian Folk Music Awards. When it comes to bluegrass, the Jaybirds present a mix of the firmly traditional and the original. This is much like the bluegrass genre itself, which though rooted in tradition, is also a product of experimentation and innovation.

“When Bill Monroe (credited with creating bluegrass in the 1940s) started, he was an innovator,” Reischman said.

“He took traditional music but combined it into a new thing. It was radical compared to the typical old-time music you would hear at the time.

“So there are bands working to give a more progressive treatment to their sounds, and others who stick strictly to the way it was laid out by Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe and the Stanley

Brothers.

“I really love the traditional sound, but we — the band — are contributing our own take on it by our own originals. They’re not influenced by Rock and Roll so much, but they’re original and they’re new.”

Bass, guitar, fiddle, banjo and mandolin is the expressive instrumental bluegrass lineup. Reischsman’s own instrument provides scorching leads and driving rhythm.

“The mandolin is there because Bill Monroe was a mandolin player,” he said. “It’s a great lead instrument because it’s tuned like a fiddle so it play all the fiddle tunes very easily.

Monroe really developed a whole rhythmic side to it — playing on beats two and four in four-four time, so the bass would play and one and three and the mandolin plays between those. That’s the essential rhythm of bluegrass — and the banjo adds to it with the eighth notes and the fiddle does.

“But the rhythmic drive that the mandolin can provide is really something. There are players like Sam Bush whose one of my favourite players — he’s developed it even more, to have more of a rock sensibility. It’s a great instrument, for bluegrass, obviously, but for other kinds of music.”

John Reischman and the Jaybirds play the Key City Theatre Saturday, Oct. 18. Showtime is at 7:30 p.m.

Spotlight on youth engagement in Kimberley Crowdsourcing from the community During the week of October 4th, Kimberley and area residents will find a postcard from the YES project in their mailboxes and also in a number of locations around town. The postcard is an invitation to participate in a unique crowdsourcing process designed to illuminate local needs and opportunities for youth engagement. The goal of the process is to tap into the diverse and creative collective mind that is Kimberley to see what’s top of mind for residents when it comes to enhancing youth engagement.

Kimberley and area residents are being asked to consider five

key questions: 1. Thinking broadly, what do you see as the biggest needs for youth in Kimberley aged 12 to 18?

2. Still thinking broadly, what do you see as the biggest needs

for young adults in Kimberley aged 19 to 29?

3. What opportunities do you see to make Kimberley a better, more inclusive and engaging place for youth aged 12-18?

4. What opportuni-

ties do you see to make Kimberley a more engaging and attractive place for young adults aged 19 to 29?

5. What are the benefits of enhancing opportunities for youth engagement in our community?

Core themes to be thinking about when responding to the questions are local youth spaces, education and employment, health and safety, arts and culture, sports and recreation, local politics and government, volunteering and civic engagement.

What sets this community engagement process apart from a regular community survey is an added step that enables participants to see what other people are thinking and assign stars to the thoughts and ideas that are seen as best for Kimberley.

All this will happen in a completely anonymous way so that everyone can feel comfortable sharing their ideas.

Younger voters among report recommendations C anadian Press

VANCOUVER — Registering voters as young as 16 for a B.C. election is one of three major recommendations the province’s chief electoral officer has made to law makers.

Keith Archer says in his report to legislators released Tuesday that the voting age would remain at 18 but dropping the registration age would allow electoral officials to work with

schools and driver-licensing programs.

He says the lowest voter-registration rates are for people between the ages of 18 and 24.

Archer’s recommendations for improving accessibility and efficiency call for a pilot program that would test new voting technologies for the disabled, although he says law makers should move slowly on Internet voting.

District electoral offi-

cers should also be able to hold advance voting opportunities for limited hours, because Archer says some rural areas don’t have the population to justify a four-day advance polling period.

The document that makes a number of technical changes comes ahead of another proposal for a new voting process that Archer plans to submit to legislators next spring.

Wildsafe BC wildlife report For the Bulletin

Recent Wildlife Sightings: A black bear was seen feeding on fruit trees at residences near the Kimberley Ski Hill. A grizzly bear was observed in Morrison Sub. Evidence of a bear accessing residential garbage has been reported in Marysville. A black bear conditioned to garbage in Chapman Camp was destroyed in the interest of public safety. All of the above activity was noted during the week of September 20th – 26th.

If you are a fruit tree owner, remember you are responsible for managing your bounty!

Pick fruit as it ripens and do not allow windfall to accumulate on the ground.

If you would like help harvesting and utilizing your fruit, reach out to friends, neighbours or local gleaning groups (like Wildsight’s Apple Capture Project).

If maintaining the tree and harvesting its fruit is beyond what you can manage, consider replacing it with a native, non-fruit bearing variety.

Remember, if you see any wildlife activity of concern, please call the 24-Hour reporting line for the Conservation Officer Service: 1 (877) 952.7277.

But McRae believes that on the flip side of challenges are opportunities.

“In the last three years we have put the tools in place that will allow us to attract business investment. It’s not about me, it’s about the direction the community wants to go.

“That was the big part of the whole branding process.”

McRae says for the last three years he has learned, and practiced, being responsive and accountable to residents.

“If there is an issue, address it, talk about it.

We as elected officials have to take ownership of issues. It’s important that I continue to provide visionary, proac-

tive, principled leadership.”

Most importantly, McRae says, that means putting the well being of the community at large over and special or personal interest.

“I always operate on the basis that we need to operate professionally and ethically at all times.”

McRae concluded with a request to citizens that they take the time to vote in order to ensure that they con-

All eyes on exponential Ebola

H

ere are two good things about the Ebola virus. It is unlikely to mutate into a version that can spread through the air, as some other viruses have done. And people who have been infected

by Ebola cannot pass it on to others during the incubation period (between two and 21 days). Only when they develop detectable symptoms, notably fever, do they become infectious to others, and only by the transfer of bodily fluids.

Here are three bad things about Ebola. The “bodily fluids” that can transmit it include even the tiniest droplet of sweat: just the slightest touch can pass the virus on. The death rate for those who become infected is 70 per cent. And the US government’s Centers for Disease Control warned recently that we could have 1.4 million cases of Ebola by January.

Since the number of known cases so far is only around 7,500, that suggests that the number of new cases is doubling approximately every two weeks. This is called exponential growth: not 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 … but 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 … If you put one grain of wheat on the first square of a chess-board, two on the second, and keep doubling the grains every square, there are not enough grains of wheat in the world to get you to the 64th square.

Exponential growth always slows down eventually, but the question is when? A vaccine would slow it down, and the British pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline already has one under development, but it is still in an early stage of testing.

Human volunteers are now being given the vaccine to check for unforeseen side effects.

If no serious side-effects are found, the vaccine will then be given to health work-

ers in West Africa. A process that normally takes years is being compressed into mere months, and 10,000 doses of the vaccine are already being produced (for the health workers). But it will be the end of the year before we know if it actually gives a useful degree of protection from the virus.

If it does, then millions of doses would have to be produced and injected into the people of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, where Ebola is already an epidemic — or tens of millions of doses if the disease Gwynne has spread by then to more populous countries like Dyer Ivory Coast, Ghana or, worst of all, Nigeria, which has 175 million people.

Until and unless a vaccine becomes available in very large quantities, the only way to stop the exponential spread of Ebola in the affected countries is to isolate the victims, a task that is very difficult in mostly rural countries with minimal medical facilities. Liberia with 4.2 million people, had only 51 doctors and 978 nurses and midwives at the start of the crisis, and some of those have already died or fled.

You don’t need to find and isolate everybody who gets the disease to break the exponential pattern. Just isolating 75 per cent of them as soon as they become infectious would drastically slow the spread.

But at the moment, in the three most affected countries, only an estimated 18 percent of the victims are being taken to treatment centres (where, of course, most of them will die).

This is why the most important intervention so far has been the dispatch of 3,000 US troops to Liberia, with the primary job of creating 17 large tent hospitals and training 500 nurses to work in them.

Britain is providing 200 new hospital beds

in its former colony of Sierra Leone, with 500 more in the next few months. Cuba has sent 165 health workers, China has sent 60, and France has sent various teams to help its former colony, Guinea.

But with the exception of the American aid to Liberia, it is all woefully inadequate.

Nine months after the first case of Ebola was confirmed in Guinea, we are still playing catch-up, and playing it badly. Why is that? Aren’t the developed countries also at risk if the virus continues to spread?

Well, no, or at least their governments don’t think so. Even without a vaccine, they are confident that their health services can find and isolate any infected people quickly and prevent Ebola from becoming an epidemic in their countries.

They are probably right, and so they see the limited help they are sending to West Africa as charity rather than a vital self-interest. But they may be wrong.

As Professor Peter Piot, who first identified the Ebola virus in 1976, said in a recent interview with Der Spiegel, “I am more worried about the many people from India who work in trade or industry in West Africa. It would only take one of them to become infected, travel to India during the virus’s incubation period to visit relatives, and then, once he becomes sick, go to a public hospital.

“Doctors and nurses in India often don’t wear protective gloves. They would immediately become infected and spread the virus.” Then you would have Ebola on the loose in a country of more than a billion people, millions of whom travel abroad each year. All hope of confining the disease to Africa and driving it back down to almost nothing, as was done in previous outbreaks, would be gone.

Mustn’t let the legend die What’s Up? In spite of my feeble efforts at humour, the doctors and staff at East Kootenay Regional Hospital ‘emergency’ were efficient and pleasant. Thank you.

It

is difficult to find out if it might still work, even if it ever worked at all. In fact, several of the medical professionals that I have consulted on the topic have either poo-poohed the idea, laughed out loud or sent me off for psychiatric assessment.

But, as a child, I was brought up by kindly parents who, having no Dr Spock to consult, apparently, sometimes referred to nursery rhymes or ‘old wyves’ tales’ when dealing with my or my sister’s various wounds or ailments. My dear mother, I swear, told me that, when I fell over and cut my head in a paddling pool at Herne Bay, a sea-side resort, she would patch me up the way Jack did when he and his sister Jill fell down that hill with that fabled bucket of water. ‘He went to bed’, I recall, ‘to mend his head with vinegar and brown paper.’

I have no recollection of my mother soaking brown paper in vinegar and wrapping my infant head in it, she must have resorted to something else.

However, just recently, when my son

dropped a longish two-by-six accidentally — he claimed — on my balding ‘bonce’ and then hauled me, protesting loudly, off to ‘emergency’, I just had to ask.

But firstly, with the blood oozing into my baseball cap, I was forced to answer some sort of quiz about myself, including the one: are you of aboriginal stock? Brightly, wiping the blood from my ear, I told the young lady in reception that I was ipso facto an English aboriginal. This was stretching the truth a tad because, about a thousand years ago, my forebears invaded from Denmark and bullied the local Anglo-SaxPeter ons (who themselves were what you’d label aborigWarland not inal folk) a bit.

Anyway, after being passed from pillar to post, being sat down with boring magazines and having a chat with a fellow who insisted on telling me all about his various hunting injuries, I was interviewed by a diminutive and very pretty medical student called — No! I’d better not.

She too had not yet heard about the vinegar and brown paper treatment, but she did have a few more years training to endure.

After consulting with an older (but wiser, I hope) female doctor, who incidentally tried to fool me with trick questions, to see, I guess, if the wound had sent me ‘bonkers’, then went away herself confused, it

was decided that my hideous wound was to be stapled.

Now, I’ve done a fair amount of stapling myself, paper-work in school, wood-work when building sets for plays, and into my own hand on one memorable occasion, so I was ready for the pounding and the pain.

Stoic, that’s me.

At one time the medical student shoved a monstrous great needle into my arm and injected something to cure tetanus or, more probably, to shut me up. I regaled her with the tale of my lining up bare-chested in a snow-storm with a few dozen Royal Air Force enlistees in order to be inoculated, and watching the left-handed ones march in backwards.

My son, the potential murderer, meanwhile hung around the place and, when the medics had finished with me, or had enough of my nonsense, he wandered in, took a photograph of my wound, then drove me, bloodied but unbowed, back in order to finish the job we’d been doing.

When, at last at alone, I wrote to my daughter to tell her about the incident. She replied immediately that she’d seen the ghastly wound on Facebook and that the photographer had wittily written, ‘We mustn’t let the legend die’.

She then added that I and her brother should stop fooling around or she’d come up from The Coast and straighten us up; that was one terrible threat.

Thanksgiving: No one is an island

A

A nastas ia Bartl e t t

s a child, I don’t recall Thanksgiving being overly special, we just ate more. At school, the walls displayed rainbow-tailed turkeys, black hats, silver buckles, and a regular cornucopia of paper fruits and vegetables to which we added black cats and jack ‘o lanterns a week later (I was thankful for Halloween, especially the candy).

We learned about American pilgrims, I think, because they had such a defining one-time back story for their Thanksgiving. It wasn’t until I was older, that I discovered the rich history of Canadian Thanksgiving.

In 1578, Martin Frobisher and his crew celebrated a thanksgiving service to God for bringing them home after another failed attempt to discover the Northwest Passage.

In 1604 Samuel de Champlain and the Order of Good Cheer regularly thanked God for surviving another Canadian winter.

National Thanksgiving celebrations in Canada commemorated many things; the end of wars, recovery of a monarch and of course, the harvest. It wasn’t until 1957 that a fixed day of Thanksgiving was set; the second Monday in October.

Canadian Thanksgiving evolved out of religious traditions. Giving thanks to God is something the churches still do.

For instance, every Sunday in the Orthodox church we celebrate the Eucharist, which literally means ‘Thanksgiving’.

Every Sunday, we thank God for Christ’s

resurrection, an event which reunites us with God and with each other. Every Sunday, as I look around the sanctuary, I know each and every person there is a valuable member of the Christ’s resurrected body; the church. Since I am also a member, every person, every part of Christ’s body has directly influenced me in some manner. As I pondered this, I realized, it wasn’t just the church but every single person with whom I’ve had any type of contact have all helped shape me into who I am today. If nothing else, the Orthodox Church has taught me the value of community.

I used to think I could live as an individual and be wholly responsible for who I was, who I am and who I will be. I realize now, I am not an isolated individual. Every person with whom I have come into contact has infected me with a portion of who they are while, I, in turn, have infected them with me. I am, in some way, connected to every single person on this planet whether for good or for ill.

If I had ever fulfilled my childhood dream of becoming a hermit with no contact with any other person whatsoever, I never would have grown as much I have now. If somehow, I could have eliminated all books, radio, TV, internet, shopping for supplies or anything made by someone else like clothing, cookware, tools, I would have stagnated.

Every person around me gives me a reason to be thankful, not just once a year but every day, every hour, every minute, every second.

Letters to the Editor

We have shaped and influenced each other teaching us about ourselves and that is something to give thanks for.

Thanks for my parents who gave me birth and looked after me and taught me how to think.

Thanks for my younger sisters who made my anger visible.

Thanks for all the friends and adversaries I had growing up who taught me loyalty, frustration and forgiveness.

Thanks for the sexist boss who angered me to no end, but taught me to trust myself.

Thanks for the telemarketer who reveals the thin veneer of patience over my irritation.

Thanks for the stranger who smiles at me on the street, lifting my spirits a little.

Thanks for the husband who, more than anyone shows me who I am yet still loves me despite it all.

Thanks for the children who took the knowledge I gave them, built on it and in turn, teach me.

This weekend, I will look around the table and be thankful for every person there. I will be thankful for those thousands of miles away and those who have fallen asleep. I will try to hug someone every day, to phone someone weekly and to pray always. To quote that great sea-going philosopher; “I yam what I yam” because of them and for that I am thankful.

Hoflin’s heroics, dangerous Descheneau can’t save Ice Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

When your starting goaltender makes 42 saves and your most dangerous goal-scorer has a four-point night, you expect your team to be on the winning end of a hockey game.

Kootenay Ice netminder Wyatt Hoflin turned in a miraculous 42-save performance after being peppered by 47 shots from the Regina Pats. RW Jaedon Descheneau scored three goals of the highlight-reel variety and set up one more.

Yet, somehow, the Kootenay Ice fell to the Regina Pats 5-4 Wednesday night. “[Wyatt] and Jaedon were our two best players tonight and it obviously wasn’t enough,” said Kootenay Ice assistant coach Jay Henderson over the phone following the loss. “I thought those two guys deserved a better fate than they got.

“We allowed way too many shots and our discipline wasn’t good tonight. By the end of the game, we were close to 50 shots [against].

You’re not going to win many games allowing 50 shots against.”

Red Deer Rebels to host 2016 Memorial Cup GREG MEACHEM Red Deer Advocate

owner/president/GM/ head coach, whose club was chosen by the WHL board of governors as the host of the 2016 Memorial Cup, with the vote going in the Rebels’ favour over the Vancouver Giants and their owner Ron Toigo. Alberta last hosted the Memorial Cup in 1974 at the Calgary Corral.

“It’s a historical day for the city of Red Deer, the province of Alberta and the WHL, for that matter, for bringing the Memorial Cup to Alberta for the first time since

CALGARY — If you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Brent Sutter placed a bid with the Western Hockey League to host the 2001 Memorial Cup tournament and was rebuffed in favour of Regina. He threw his hat into the ring three years ago in hopes of staging the 2013 event and lost out to Saskatoon.

On Wednesday, it was third time lucky for the Red Deer Rebels

way beyond the city of Red Deer. It will be a provincial celebration.

We’re very fortunate that Brent and his organization put forward a very successful bid and we also want to thank Ron Toigo and the Giants for their bid.

“We had two quality bids and at the end of the day the league board of governors have chosen Red Deer to host in 2016.”

After thanking everyone involved in making his Memorial Cup bid a successful one, Sutter insisted that he didn’t hold any grudges regarding the 2011 vote (for the 2013 Memorial Cup) that went in Saskatoon’s favour despite the widespread notion that the winning city’s larger facility and potential to generate more revenues to be shared among league teams were the deciding factors.

“I don’t think we were bitter, we were disappointed,” he said. “You never now what’s going to happen when you get into a situation like this.

Saskatoon had a great bid back in 2011 and the governors chose them at that time, but we showed the resiliency to stay with it and not lose our focus and purpose about giving the city and the province what they deserve, and that’s to host the Memorial Cup. “And that’s what we did — we kept our focus on it and are obviously very pleased and we want to thank the board of governors in our league for giving us this opportunity in 2016.”

Asked if the 40 years between now and the last Alberta-hosted Memorial Cup — and the gap will be 42 years in 2016 — was a major factor in the voting, Sutter seemed almost incredulous. But just for a second.

“Yes, it’s been a long time, and to be honest it’s truly hard to believe,” he said. “But that’s over with now. Now it comes back to the province of Alberta. It’s the most prestigious amateur hockey event and for the city and our organization and the province, for it to come back here after 42 years is outstanding. We have a lot of people to thank, including the city and provincial governments and our host committee.”

The Memorial Cup is a 10-day event that includes a host of off-ice activities, most of which will be held at the Westerner buildings adjoined to or near the Centrium.

“It’s not just about the games, which of course are huge, but we also want to have an event that will attract all kinds of people,” said Sutter, who’s not worried about bringing in enough volunteers to keep everything on track.

“The biggest thing is we can only have so many volunteers and our committee is going to be very big,” he noted.

“We’ll have it at the level we’ll need, because we know we’re going to have a tremendous amount of support, not just in Red Deer but from throughout Central Alberta and the entire province.”

In essence, the Rebels’ successful pursuit of the Memorial Cup tournament is a reward to a fan base that has dwindled somewhat over the past 10 years but still remains among the league’s best.

“Any event like this rewards your loyal fans.

We have a great fan base in Red Deer that has been tremendously supportive since the team came into existence,” said Sutter. “I know that since I bought the team back in 1999 the fan support has been fantastic.”

Canucks double up Flames DONNA SPENCER Canadian Press

CALGARY — Radim Vrbata scored the eventual winner for the Vancouver Canucks in a 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames Wednesday.

Vrbata’s goal at 11:07 of the second period was initially waived off as a high-stick, but he was given the goal after review.

Alex Burrows and Zack Kassian also scored and captain Henrik Sedin added an empty-netter for the Canucks, who extended their winning streak against Calgary to eight in a row.

Paul Byron and Jiri Hudler replied for the Flames.

er for both Calgary and Vancouver at Scotiabank Saddledome featured two teams attempting to climb out of the bottom of the league standings. The Canucks finished 25th and the Flames 27th among the 30 teams last season.

Their starting goaltenders signed as free agents on July 1 and made their debuts for their respective teams. Ryan Miller stopped 23 of 25 shots for the win, while Jonas Hiller turned away 30 of 33 in his first game in a Flames jersey.

Willie Desjardins won his first regular-season game as Vancou-

ver’s head coach. He replaced John Tortorella who was sacked after just one season.

Hudler pulled the host Flames within a goal at 13:19 of the second period when he blasted a drop pass from linemate Sean Monahan past Miller.

Vrbata batted the puck out of the air past Hiller to pad the visitors’ lead to 3-1 at 11:07. The Canucks signed the Czech forward to a two-year contract in the off-season to play the right wing on a line with Henrik and Daniel Sedin. Vrbata had three goals in the pre-season.

I saw more shots from the zebra When Rogers ComTaylor cam, it began to grow on me. munications struck a Rocca I was a supporter when TSN 12-year-, $5.2-billion strapped players with micronational broadcast rights contract with the NHL in November phones. To hear the chatter on the bench 2013, I was a bit concerned. After one night and in the crease opened fans up to a new of momentarily glimpsing at the Calgary side of the game they had never heard beFlames-Vancouver Canucks broadcast, I fore. My only complaint is I can’t subscribe haven’t gleaned a large enough sample to an unrated broadcast where I get to hear size to comment on whether or not the every last beak and chirp. But I digress.

But I can tell you what did jump out at do a better job, on a nightly basis, than Joe me in my brief steals of NHL viewing last Official who has dedicated his life to becoming the best referee he can be. Yes, I night — the referee cam.

If you happened to be watching, you are am talking about you. I am even talking already well aware. If you don’t care about about me. We all think we see the game the NHL, now is a good time to stop read- better than refs, most of whom have literaling. If you had priorities to take care of and ly bled to reach this point in their career.

your beloved defenceman was beaten by three steps, had no angle and no choice but to trip up his opponent, therefore taking away a legitimate and clear-cut scoring chance on a wide-open breakaway.

A new perspective.

A new view.

An opportunity to see exactly what the zebra sees, revealing to you he did make the right call and you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

As much as this is a great opportunity to defend officials and prove to fans refs are competent sheriffs, there is a flip side and that is the only part that worries me.

Officials will now be under a greater microscope than ever before. When you can see exactly what the referee sees and he does something wrong, you have the record to prove his error. Ultimately, this should be a good thing and one can hope it helps increase the performance of officials who can now go back and look at exactly what they saw, or didn’t see. Kind of like a team looking at game tape to figure out why the power play didn’t work, the referee can go back to his footage when he missed a goal that was instead awarded by video review.

At the end of the day, the zebra cam is a win-win-win for fans, the league and officials. The only loss comes in the aesthetics category, because man, do those things look bulky and gross perched atop the referee’s bucket.

Maybe Rogers could strike a deal with Google to develop some sort of camera visor instead?

Newfoundland: Wasn’t that a party?

A

Carla Nelson of Maritime Travels describes the charms of Canada’s most easterly city — St. John’s — and its surroundings

couple weeks ago, I travelled to Newfoundland. To make Canada complete, I wanted to visit Canada’s 10th province. Now I have been to every province and territory in Canada. What a fantastic and diverse country we live in! But back to Newfoundland. My quick visit there only makes me want to go back for a much longer visit. Fascinating place, and yes, everything you hear about the people is correct – friendly, helpful, musical and fun-loving – and a little hard to understand!

St. John’s is on the Avalon Peninsula and is Canada’s most easterly city, with a population of approximately 200,000. The city was named after John Cabot who arrived there in 1497. It became the 10th province of Canada in 1949, after a controversial almost 50/50 vote. Newfoundland has the foggiest, windiest, cloudiest weather, but curiously, the mildest winters outside of BC due to the position of the Gulf Stream. It is also famous for some other events. Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in St. John’s from England in 1901. St. John’s was the starting point for the first nonstop transatlantic flight in 1919. Known for cod fishing, this industry basically collapsed in the 1990’s when the government placed a moratori-

um on the fishery. Huge unemployment resulted and depopulation. Offshore oil was discovered and now the oil industry is the major employer in Newfoundland.

Offshore oil fields, such as Hibernia, Terra Nova and White Rose, have contributed to an economic boom, as well as employment for many residents in Fort McMurray.

The city of St. John’s is pretty, with colourful ‘jellybean’ heritage rowhouses and businesses on the two main downtown streets, Water St. and Duckworth St. Shops, restaurants and pubs abound. And the famous George St. is known for its lively nightlife. A short but energetic street of pubs and nightclubs with bands playing in every one!

Go before 9 p.m. to avoid the cover charge and standing room only.

When you are in Newfoundland, you must try some of the local delicacies. Cod tongues, lightly battered and fried, served with scrunchions (diced salted port fat fried til crispy hard); toutons, fried leftover bread dough, drizzled with molasses, often served for breakfast; codfish cakes; snow crab; and fish chowder – the best I have ever tasted!

A short hike from the city is Signal Hill (named for Marconi’s signal), where you can have a great view of the city, as well as visit old

CRANBROOK CRANBROOK

The colourful city of St. John’s, Newfoundland. and new lighthouses, and the Cabot Tower. A short distance from the city you can visit the very pretty Petty Harbour, a quaint but still productive fishing village.

A bit further out and you will

find Cape Spear, Canada’s most easterly land point. In the summer season, this is the place for whale watching, puffin spotting, and iceberg viewing.

Well, it was a short trip, but ap-

parently I must go back – I didn’t get ‘screeched in’! Look it up...it’s a must so they say!

Chris Botterill is the owner and GM of Genex Marketing, a digital marketing firm that relocated from Vancouver to Cranbrook, BC in 2009. While Chris specializes in digital branding and marketing, he is also no stranger to the opportunities and pitfalls that many businesses are confronted with when it comes to marketing in a small town. Chris has owned and operated entertainment, retail and service based businesses over the past 16 years and has toured North America as a seminar speaker for one of the largest online marketing companies in the world.

When Chris moved his business from Metro Vancouver to Cranbrook he had every intention of continuing business as usual, focusing efforts on growing his national client base through his virtual business model. But this plan was interrupted by the discovery of a completely different way of doing business and marketing in a small town.

Within 5 years of relocating, Genex Marketing went from a business that was sustained purely on model that count on national clients, to a business that now relies on the local market to drive over 65% of its business.

With a new attitude and tactic to digital marketing and marketing a business in a small town, Chris is excited to share many new tips and tricks that blend traditional marketing strategies with cutting edge digital strategies that help businesses maximize their exposure abroad and develop quality relationships in the small towns they serve.

Chris won’t be holding anything back in the upcoming speaker series where he will be exploring the topic of marketing your business in a small town. Topics will include things such as “basic grass roots and digital marketing strategies” to “tips on using social media in a small town” to “proper business etiquette when dealing with local competition”.

Fire Prevention Week

SMOKEALARMS • Almost three of five (60%) of reported home fire deaths in 2007 to 2011 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

• Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires in half.

• In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm, hardwired alarms operated 93% of the time, while battery powered alarms operated only 79% of the time.

• When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected, or dead.

• An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires.

For the best protection, or where extra time is needed, to awaken or assist others, both types of alarms, or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms are recommended.

October 5 - 11, 2014 Every Second Can Mean The Difference Between Life And Death This ‘Fire Prevention Week’ please take some time to go over your fire escape plan at home with your family, check both your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and make sure your fire extinguisher is in good working order.

Dave Humphrey

Items compiled from the archived newspapers held at the Cranbrook Museum and Archives 1898 The Last Spike …

Van Horne will be visiting Cranbrook. The rails are laid to Lake Kootenay. The iron on the Crows Nest Pass road now extends from Lethbridge, Alt., to the Kootenay Lake in West Kootenay, a distance of 360 miles. On the 17th of July of last year the first work was done on the road at Lethbridge. Last night, October 5, the last spike was driven at the lake.

Loud Shirts … The guests at the Cranbrook Hotel wondered at the noise about the building day and night all last week. It was a peculiar, persistent, unremitting disturbance that seemed strange and unusual. Finally an investigation was instituted, and it resulted in the discovery of McMillan and Frith wearing shirts that could be heard to Fort Steele and Moyie.

The guests are thankful this week that the shirts are in the wash.

Break In … Some miscreant broke into the Wardner Hotel the other night, making an entrance through a dining room window. He left his boots in the dining room and made his way upstairs, and when discovered was creeping into the room occupied

by Miss Jagger. Her screams aroused her mother who came to her assistance, and the intruder rushed by them and escaped, leaving his boots behind. They form a clue that will probably lead to the arrest of the party.

one of the fuse and that the other shots went off before they had a chance to get out of the way. The bodies were found by E. Wergin, a mucker, who was going on shift. They were about fifty feet back from the face of the drift.

Another Globe Trotter … M.K. Creelman, of Prudo, N.S., arrived in Cranbrook Wednesday night on his way around the world on his bicycle.

He left Prudo on May 11, and came by the way of Chicago, St. Paul, Winnipeg and the Crows Nest pass route. He is making fair time and is in good health. He expects to reach Paris in time to attend the exposition next year

1899 Killed by Blast …

James Mills and Charles Craine, two miners, were killed by a blast in the No. 1 tunnel of the Lake Shore Mine, Moyie, Tuesday evening at about 11 o’clock. Mills and Craine had put in a round of holes and were ready to shoot, preparatory to going off shift. It is supposed they had difficulty in “spitting”

1900 “Just Before Dawn” … “Just Before Dawn” was presented at the hall last Friday night.

The company had action and there were many good shots in the cast. In consequence, before the last act, quite a number of struggling miners lay dying on the stage veldt, and the Nemisis of revenge laughed in glee over the terrible

dent … R E. Beattie, W. S Keay, W. W. Doble and Dr. King drove up to St. Marys last Sunday. As Beattie was one of the crowd, and being a professional hoodo so far as runaways are concerned, the usual accident occurred, and he and Doble were compelled to walk about four miles before they found the rest of the party and the other team.

Half past seven, sermon

Small Birth … “I understand there is a Small increase in the population of Cranbrook,” said a gentleman to E. H. Small the other day.

“Well, about 13 pounds,” was the reply. And a man standing near, said, “What are those crazy guys talking about?”

1902 Put on Hold …The Marysville smelter will not be built this year.

The machinery is being housed, the men discharged and everything closed up for the season. Last Wednesday word went out that no agreement had been reached, and that in consequence all work would cease and everything shut down until next summer. It was a hard blow to people who had invested all they had in Marysville, depending upon work continuing this fall until the smelter was ready to blow in. Many of them had invested in the town upon the understanding that there would be no unnecessary delay and now they will have to make the best of it.

Sunrise Gobblers of the East Kootenay: Part II FJ Hurtak

As I alluded to in part one of this article last week, here in the East Kootenay we have the Merriam’s turkey, one of about 12 different species of wild turkeys in North America.

The Merriam’s got kickstarted in the Creston Valley around 35 years ago when a few nomads made their way into B.C. from Northern Idaho. In 1989, Creston had enough turkeys to allow an LEH season and 30 permits were issued for toms only.

Then 25 years ago, some birds were transplanted from Creston to the East Kootenay and the rest is history, as the saying goes.

The Merriam’s turkey is a very challenging and sporting bird to hunt, and the mating ritual begins in late February or early March in most areas, and by the time the spring hunting season rolls around in the middle of April, they are already going strong. The toms puff their feathers and strut around, gobbling loudly in an effort to attract prospective mates. What really adds to the excitement of hunting them is the ability to call them into close range. At this time of year gobblers can be enticed to betray their location by using crow, owl, hawk, coyote, or another gobbler call. Once their location is pinpointed you can close the gap and begin some seductive hen calling. One of the mistakes that hunters sometimes make is attempting to get too close to a Merriam’s gobbler.

Merriam’s don’t seem to mind

travelling long distances to come to a call, whereas other species can be more reluctant.

After countless errors on my part, I have now formulated a rule of thumb. If the turkey appears to be moving forward and consistently changing his calling location I stay put.

Merriam’s turkeys have absolutely incredible eyesight and just one mistake of moving unnecessarily can end the hunt immediately. However, if after a period of calling and getting responses, if the gobbler appears to be staying in a fixed location then I will try and close the gap between us. It is here that it gets risky, because the less distance you have to travel to set up again the better it is, especially if you are using decoys as part of your calling strategy. That means more movement on the hunter’s part, but if a turkey is not moving it is sometimes worth the gamble.

This past spring I did about five or six days of scouting before the season began and I had located two different flocks in separate areas.

I decided on the closer of the two for the first day of the hunt, so opening morning I was already making my way in the dark to a spot where I could try some ‘locator’ calling.

The morning was cool and clear and I was about to take my pack off when I heard what I thought was a gobble a few hundred yards away. I knelt down and waited for about 2-3 minutes and it was then that I heard not

one gobble, but two back to back.

In the pre-dawn I closed the distance to what was probably a couple of hundred yards. I was not worried about being seen, as it was just dark enough to warrant almost unlimited movement on my part.

At this point, I laid my pack down behind a tree and fumbled for my calls. As I did, I heard several gobbles and I knew the turkey(s) were in a roosting site in the big pines. The terrain they were in would make for very tough pursuit so I knew instinctively that I had no choice but to be patient and see how the situation played out.

When daylight finally had won

the battle over darkness I was kneeling inside the branches at the base of a big fir tree and I began calling on my box call. This type of friction call is great for long distances because it has ample volume as opposed to the traditional mouth call. I was fairly aggressive with my calling and received the reward of responses every single time. However, I was somewhat confused at the location of the closest gobbler. I realized quickly after successive answers that there were at least 3 toms answering my calls and they appeared to be moving around. I scoured the dark pines with my binoculars for any sign of movement and then finally away off to my left I saw a turkey make a quick left turn and head into a depression in the landscape. I scratched on my call again with all the volume I could muster, and there was a barrage of gobbles in response coming from an area not more than 75 yards away. I shouldered my ancient single shot 16-gauge shotgun, in anticipation of the birds coming into view.

“Be patient, sit tight, sit tight,” I kept muttering to myself.

A few minutes passed by and frankly the silence was deafening. I thought for a moment I had blown this set-up somehow, so out of desperation I cranked on my gobbler call followed by three or four soft yelps on the box call. The woods lit up again

with gobbling toms and they were closer now, so I cocked my gun and not a moment too soon. What a sight to behold…several toms crested a small hill, one after the other and began to make their way towards me.

One gobbler would sound off and another would follow and blow up to display his wonderfully coloured plumage. I was enjoying it immensely but remembered why I was there. I chose the bird that offered me the best clean shot and my Remington roared, and the bird dropped like a stone, while the others scattered quickly.

There is no doubt about it, hunting the wild Merriam›s turkey can be frustrating at times, but when everything comes together as it did for me on opening day, it can be very rewarding, and it’s safe to say addicting, in a good way. The silence, the waiting, the morning chill, and the spine tingling call of a big tom in the distance. It’s what makes the sport of turkey hunting so special. Then there’s the very satisfying feeling of walking out of the woods with a nice tom on your back just as the sun peaks it’s head over the mountains. Priceless!

Sometimes loved ones from the other side pop in and sometimes past lives come up and so on.

Whatever the information is that is relevant to the client learning something on this plane will be relayed, if they can comprehend what we are talking about.

The last question you asked us is: “Please ask your guides what they see if I stay or if I leave?”

We don’t understand what you are asking of us. This means of what are you asking us particularly to see? Again my guide just commented while I was writing this letter to you, “We cannot guess and we will not assume what your questions will be.” If you have specific questions about this issue you may email us or make an appointment and we will try to help you.

On a personal note: One of your lessons in regards to the relationship with your husband is: You do not use emotional intelligence when relating to this man.

This means you talk to him and make decisions based on sheer emotion.

Another lesson you need to learn is to be assertive without being caustic with yourself and those around you and particularly when talking to your husband.

I hope we have helped you.

Ninth Annual

by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be concerned about your spending, yet on some level, you could feel incapable of changing the situation. Your imagination is likely to encourage you to take a risk. You will want to have a reality check and a sound conversation. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will want to work through a problem. Someone who is involved could be in your face, and his or her anger might be difficult to handle. Revisit a long-term goal before saying anything.

With a fresh perspective, you will see the whole matter differently.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use your instincts, and do some thinking about the ramification of dealing with an angry person. You might believe that you can handle the situation, but a surprise could be on the way. A parent or older person might be a little too vague for your taste.

Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Listen to what is being shared by a friend. You could feel uncomfortable expressing exactly what is on your mind. You might not be as sure of yourself as you’d like to be. Don’t worry -- you are surrounded by friends. Tonight: Only where people are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can’t avoid the limelight, and in truth, that doesn’t bother you at all. You were born to be in the spotlight, and you love to be complimented. You could feel awkward when dealing with a new friend’s feelings. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you really care about. You might be overwhelmed by the twists and turns that could come down the path. Detach, and you will have a better understanding of what is going on behind the scenes.

Tonight: Give your mind a treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds around a person-

Tundra

al situation involving a partner who wants what he or she wants and is unwilling to compromise.

You could be hitting your head against the wall, but accept that it is futile to try to change this person’s mind. Accept the situation. Tonight: Out late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, as they seem to have a different opinion of how things should be done. You might be escaping your feelings through some type of indulgence. Your creativity will come out if you relax. A solution will appear as a result. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are likely to maintain a fairly even pace, which means you could accomplish more than you even thought possible. You also seem to be more easily angered than usual. Be careful when expressing these feelings. Follow your intuition. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be looking for a new idea or a better solution. Allow more creativity to flow. Give up

your need to have everything be logical; rather, go with your intuition, especially trying to resolve what appeared to be an unresolvable issue. Tonight: Play it easy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to go with the moment and get to the bottom of a problem. By saying less and listening more, you will find an answer. You could want to share your impressions before you decide that you’re right. Others’ reactions will tell you a lot more.

Tonight: Head home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Return calls and catch up on others’ news. You’ll have a lot to share. At the same time, you might want to make plans for the weekend. Others appreciate your imagination and often want to tap into it for personal as well as professional reasons. Tonight: Hang out with a pal.

Rhymes with Orange

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: An acquaintance of mine (I’ll call her “Minnie”) drops by our home once a week and stays for several hours. If we offer her a beer, she protests a little bit, but then says, “Well, OK,” and then asks what kind of wine or liquor we have. She somehow makes it seem as though she is doing us a favor by accepting what we offer and then lets us know about the better alcohol she is accustomed to.

Our neighbor told us that Minnie does the same thing at her place, always promising to bring something special to reciprocate, but she never does. The neighbor laughs it off, but we feel like suckers. Minnie talks about cutting back on alcohol to lose weight, but it’s obvious she’ll drink if it’s free.

Other than not answering the door when Minnie shows up, is there a way to confront her without making her belligerent? We see each other and don’t want hard feelings. -Tired of Sponger Dear Tired: If you don’t want Minnie drinking your booze, stop offering it to her. You can open the door and be polite and friendly but not ask whether she’d like a beer. If she says she’s thirsty, offer her a cool glass of water. You don’t have to confront her at all or create any hard feelings. You simply need to be less accommodating. We suspect after a few such dry visits, she will spend less time knocking on your door.

Dear Annie: As the holidays approach, so does gift giving. This is one of my favorite holiday traditions. I am not well off by any means, and my gifts usually consist of thoughtful homemade items. I love seeing the recipients open the gifts, watching their surprise and delight, and knowing they feel special because I have put so much thought into personalizing their present.

Here’s the dilemma: Many of my family members are well off, yet I rarely receive gifts from them. I get flimsy excuses instead.

I normally say “OK” and brush it off, but after years of this dismissive behavior, I am not sure I can continue to keep giving, giving, giving, especially when it is difficult for me financially.

I don’t give presents with the expectation that I will get something in return, but once in a while, I would certainly appreciate feeling the same way my recipients do when opening a gift. I’d like to know what that’s like.

Should I stop giving my homemade items to stingy family members and sell them instead? -- Torn in Pennsylvania Dear Torn: Are you certain your family members truly enjoy these presents? Not everyone appreciates a homemade item, and you may be misinterpreting their response.

Even so, they should reciprocate in some way for your generosity. You certainly ought to stop giving them personalized gifts that you cannot afford. Either bake some cookies, or use your creativity for a holiday card and stop giving gifts altogether. The choice is yours.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Frustrated Mom,” whose daughter is overweight.

In my teens, I was 15 pounds overweight, and my mother harped on my eating constantly. But I showed her! By the time I was 67, I was 200 pounds overweight. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and could barely walk.

Sixteen months ago, I had gastric bypass surgery and have lost 162 pounds. My surgeon said, “You are a success story.” Never again can I enjoy the sinfully rich food I used to, but my cholesterol, blood pressure and arthritis are under control.

I think of food all day. Not because I want it so badly, but because I have to plan my day around it. My stomach is the size of an egg, but I’m healthier, happier, have a new wardrobe and love it when people say I look fabulous. I will live to see my grandkids marry.

Obituaries John Wayne Trinder November 19, 1940 October 3, 2014 Our beloved Wayne passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family in Kimberley, BC on Friday, October 3, 2014, at the age of 73.

Wayne was born in Kimberley on November 19, 1940, to John and Phyllis Trinder. He married the love of his life Lindis in 1964 and they shared 50 happy years. He was a loving son, husband, father and grandfather, and a loyal friend to many. He was employed

by City of Kimberley for 35 years, and he retired in 1995 as Manager of Operations Services.

He was an avid hunter, fisherman and outdoorsman, and his passions were nature and wildlife, including wildlife conservation and management. He was a member of the Kimberley Rod and Gun Club, a Board member of the Kimberley Special Care Home, a Director of the Kootenay Wildlife Heritage Fund, a member of St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flyfishers, and a volunteer for many community activities. He was a kind and caring man who devoted his life to his family, the community and his love of nature.

Wayne is survived by his wife Lindis, his daughters Cori Trinder and Terri (Mark) McKinlay, granddaughters Rylee and Sydney McKinlay and Carly Trinder (the lights of his life), sisters-in-law Desiree McKay (Greg McCormick) and Sue Nicholson, his lifelong best friend Bob Misuraca, and several cousins and many special friends. Wayne was predeceased by his parents John and Phyllis Trinder and his cousin Ron Fontaine.

A Celebration of Life gathering for friends and family will be held on Tuesday, October 14th from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Centennial Hall in Kimberley. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to remember Wayne may make a donation to: The Pines Memorial Society, 386 - 2 Avenue, Kimberley, BC, V1A 2Z8.

Preliminary hearing for accused Kootenay robbers months away NELSON STAR

The couple accused of robbing several local financial institutions will likely have a preliminary hearing early in 2015.

Andrew Stevenson, 34, appeared in Nelson provincial court today by videolink from jail, once again using crutches that he threw off in an escape attempt on September 15. Stevenson fled as a deputy sheriff led him in to the courthouse, but was quickly captured a few blocks away. A new count of escaping custody has been laid against him, bringing the number of charges he faces to 22.

Stevenson consented to remaining in custody until October 28 when a date will be fixed for a preliminary hearing, which Crown counsellor Sunday Patola expected would take three days and likely occur sometime between January and March.

Stevenson’s co-accused Krista Kalmikoff, 26, who has been released on bail, returns to court the same day.

Her lawyer has indicated she intends to plead not guilty and elect trial by judge and jury.

Stevenson is accused of holding up the Kootenay Currency Exchange in Nelson, in which a shot was fired, as well as the Nelson and District Credit   

  

     

Union, Kootenay Savings in Castlegar, and Johnny’s Grocery in Robson in March and April, plus two break-ins at Castlegar pharmacies.

He faces charges including robbery, possession of a restricted weapon, pointing a firearm, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

Kalmikoff is accused in the Nelson robberies and Castlegar break-ins.

Stevenson and Kalmikoff were both arrested April 25, the day of the Nelson credit union hold-up. Stevenson was injured when he jumped off a bridge while being pursued by police.

BC’s Independent Investigations Office, which looks into police-related incidents involving death or serious injury, was brought in to review the arrest. Kellie Kirkpatrick with the office said the report is done but waiting on a final piece of evidence.

“I expect that once the chief civilian director can review the report with the additional pieces completed, it should not be too long [before a decision is made],” she said.

The director can send the file back for further investigation, forward it to Crown counsel to consider charges, or conclude an officer did not commit an offence and release a public report.

On behalf of the Cranbrook Multi-cultural Society, thank you to all of our volunteers, sponsors and cultural groups for making the 1st Annual Cranbrook Multicultural Festival a great success.
